Good morning, millennials. Welcome back to the morning toast. Happy, what is it? Oh my god, it's hump day. Happy Wednesday, everyone. Hope you're having a glorious Wednesday. Hey, Jax, how you doing? Doing good. It's the day everyone's been waiting for. The day on everybody's lips. Wednesday. Sexy Wednesday. Well, it is hump day. Don't forget to hump someone you love. Of course, as every Wednesday comes, I will be humping Theo. As every day comes, you will be humping Theo. But on Wednesday, it's allowed. It's encouraged.

Yeah, let's be real with one another. Hashtag be real. How is Thrysand? Thrysand is doing well. Just kind of bends in Boston for like spritz stuff for today and yesterday. So it's been mom and son day. And it's been so nice to be the apple of Theo's eye, you know, get all of his attention. It's been an absolute joy. Mother son bonding. You love to see it. I can't wait for Theo's wedding when we do a mother son dance.

And who will Theo be marrying, do you think? Probably me. And who will Theo be marrying, do you think? Probably me. So the first dance between bride and groom is also the mother's Sunday. Yeah, we're killing two birds with one stone. Theo doesn't have a girlfriend. No, Theo's pretty asexual. It's because he's in love with his mother.

It's because he's in love with himself, actually. Oh, just like his mother. And you know, if you looked like Theo, you'd be in love with yourself too, guys. It's true. Stunning. No, Olivia needs to get a female dog that could be Theo's girlfriend, just like Bryce and Knowles. I mean, get you a love like Bryce and Knowles, you guys. Well, actually, even though Theo, I do believe, is asexual, if he were to be sexual, I do think he would be more attracted to male dogs.

So I would suggest for better, for the optimum chance of him falling in love, I would suggest Olivia get a male dog. Okay. Love that for him. Yeah. So that's a little bit about Theo. Today's Wednesday. We have an amazing show.

We're going to do Dear Toasters, where we give advice to our listeners. And we try and guide them through the trials and tribulations of being alive. And there are many. So many. They never end. Spooky. How you doing? I'm doing good. I'm exhausted. I woke up today like with a thud, you know, I just am so tired with a dull headache not bad enough to take a migraine pill because it's not a migraine it's just like a girl slow down headache you know um so I'm just powering through I'm having like a total opposite I woke up an hour and a half before my alarm laid watch tiktoks took my time getting ready made tiktoks while I was getting ready listen to Shania Twain,

caught up with Taylor Strecker on FaceTime, caught up with Brian on FaceTime. It was really just like a glorious morning, not to be so annoying. Childless versus mother. Yeah, I'm so happy for you. I did start Jeanette McCurdy's book two days ago. I forgot to talk about it on the toast. We have a Jeanette McCurdy headline. Okay, I just want to say I'm like not, I haven't made a big dent in the book. I think I'm maybe 20% in and you guys know I'm such a fast reader. I just, I could read a whole book in an afternoon, but I'm finding this book really difficult to get through and it's not because it's bad at all. It's actually really good. It's really heavy. And I don't even think the part that I'm up to is heavy.

It's just her like lying the seeds and really setting the scene for how her mom was so abusive. And it's not abuse like, you know, it's not painful to read because she's, you know, being physically abusive or even really verbally abusive. It's so manipulative and like emotional. And I know that Jeanette ends up having like a severe eating disorder and a severe um case of OCD and you just see like the bricks being layered and it's like really actually like heavy that's really tough is the writing also pretty dense no actually like she's in a really good writer and what I think is really cool I'm she's only like eight or ten at

the part that I'm at and she's writing like an eight year old, but like in a mature way, I can't explain it. I think the writing is actually really good. Oh, okay, great. I definitely am going to read it. It's really reminded me of Jessica Simpson. Like we're getting headlines that are teasing snippets and I'm feeling convinced,

but I did want to talk a little bit about it today and then you can talk about some of your thoughts. Yeah, it's like annoying to be reading a book that's like so in the headlines and I had gotten an advanced copy of it but I only got it the day before it came out so um it's like spoiling like I keep seeing things on Twitter and I just scroll past it's really annoying yeah I understand I want to find some things out on my own bitch okay well looking forward to your recap of that book but I do hope to read it as well speaking of homework how is your funny girl assignment going what's the assignment that you

have to go see funny girl with bean you have to watch the movie you have to see funny girl with beanie and then with Leah oh well I forgot I had committed to that um and I'm obviously behind because Beanie's gone so okay so never mind you have to watch a movie I should watch a movie and I did secure tickets I was not able to get opening night tickets like in the premium seats that I wanted so I have the second night which I think is okay you have tickets that's great yeah tickets tickets tickets tickets tickets we got Annie so I'll be on Broadway and I'm very excited. Like I actually this morning when I was on TikTok, I felt down like a glee rabbit hole. And it's just it really prepared me to talk about Lea Michele here today. Got it. And when is opening night? September 6th. September 6th. OK, cool. We'll all be

waiting with bated breath I'm very excited so I have something to look forward to post Labor Day because you know the Labor Day slump is real summer is officially

over Labor Day is over long weekend is over we don't have another one for a while because like some people don't celebrate Columbus Day

which I understand but like why take the day away but not for me because after Labor Day I got tickets to Celie, Michelle and funny girls so and it's also it's fashion week oh which is huge for me like really changes my schedule so

many events so many presentations shows luncheons I forgot about that oh my god I think for me that's the hardest part of having like left New York is missing all the Fashion Week fanfare and all the events I was invited to year after year. No, and I think that's like a huge thing that New York is going to be affected by. You know, you leaving means Fashion Week is not going to be the same. No, it's not. It could never be. So that's tough.

Yeah, it'll be a different sort of Fashion Week. Yeah, totally, totally. I mean, I just, I'm so glad you brought that up because actually something I wanted to talk about was I'm really struggling to kind of get my events in order. Like post-summer, I'm just being invited, you know, to so many galas and things like that. And it's really, really tough for me to prioritize,

you know, what's important. What are you invited to? Maybe we can can help so obviously the Met Gala that's in May and then of course um Fashion Week Chanel Balenciaga they like please sit for round row Claudia and it's just you know it's hard because I have to take care of me yeah and someone has to take care of Theo that's why Ben is here uh no do you actually have events no oh I mean sometimes you do like shows you're on the ferry yesterday getting crunchitized me no I have um funny girl tickets and then a few days later I have an event that I actually can't really say it's not a work thing it's a personal thing I mean I can't say it but I think in about

a week from now I'll be able to say it and I think that that's all I'll say on that okay it's very do I know what it is I mean like you don't know what I'm going to but you know what I'm talking about okay cool I can't wait to hear and that's and then I have shows in September so I'm going to be in Huntington Long Island I'm going to be I think in Portland and Seattle in September so tickets available at girl with no job dot com slash tour great get your tickets tickets tickets because you don't want to miss this I couldn't have said it better myself um so that's really all the updates for me yesterday just like worked worked worked worked a little more went to the dry cleaners and then came home yeah no yesterday another busy day

just being a mogul being a mogul and a mother and it's really hard to do both you guys you know I think one could say that every mother is a mogul. Yeah, for sure. For sure. Like you are the mogul of your own household. But then I'm also like working too. And it's for like this billion dollar company. Yeah. Yeah. And it just keeps growing. And like there's so much fanfare.

Claudia and I did the funniest thing last night. We FaceTime and Claudia realized she could share her screen. Can I just say that feature on the new like iOS where you can screen share or like share music. I was listening to Spotify like with Snatchler on FaceTime. It is a premium, premium edition. Yeah. So since I don't have TikTok and Claudia was telling me how like we have all these videos

going viral. Plus there's two Morning Toast fan accounts that clip moments from our show over the past four years and some of the funniest moments and also moments that I just like forgot about that never thought I never even thought about at the time and then like they resurfaced and I'm like damn that's funny yeah so she was playing them on her phone on screen share for me and I was watching them through FaceTime and it was a grand old time also because she can send me sometimes you'll send me a video and I can enjoy it but half the fun of TikTok is the comments of course and I wanted to get comments on safari no you get

like two that's disgraceful so I wanted to see all the comments see what people like are saying about us someone like came for our gums I guess we have weird familial gums I don't know what they're talking about um and there's like been so much fanfare on TikTok for us like people making videos like just that they love the toast talking about like all of our lingo opening their merch so I wanted Jackie to see the fanfare like our hard work our you know TikTok videos our vertical videos like I know you're seeing the fanfare on reels but it also exists on TikTok yeah so definitely that is what is going to get me onto TikTok. Like knowing that there's like fan accounts, there's videos of myself that people are enjoying. Make

more. That I don't even know exist. Like aside from the ones that we make and I always want to see the comments on those, which I never get to see, but that there's like other content of me just like living out there. So I am thinking about downloading TikTok on my iPad okay so that like I can dedicate I'd be like okay now it's time to read the TikTok comments see what people are saying and it's not like I'll be scrolling all night in my bed because I leave my iPad in my office so it will just be like a work thing I need to see what the people are saying about me and my gums and then I'll move on so that's my plan I love that plan and I think I should just like speak directly to the toasters and be like if you keep making toast content on TikTok, like build it and she will come.

So that's the lesson here. Yeah. And that's really what, what it was. I didn't know what it was going to take for me to get on TikTok. I thought maybe Rach Parcell. I thought maybe Kylie, she's doing the most on TikTok. But no, it was the toasters. And really it's, I'm inspired by myself.

No, that's the thing. Like if you're not motivating yourself, you're not going to motivate anyone else. Who do you motivate? Exactly. Yeah. So that was a fun treat. Also, yesterday I was on our Instagram account, like, reading, you know, people's messages and comments. And literally, like, I was cackling.

Cackling. Like I think people are so funny and I think the toasters are so funny. And I just wanted to say like, they don't go unnoticed those comments. Like I feel like people really like work hard on their comments to be like funny and clever and they always are. And I just wanted to say it's like one of my favorite things to do. I agree. And that's actually a great segue into my next point, which is that tonight is the season finale of Breaking Bread. And Breaking Bread is a place where all those comments come to life and we're able to read and react to them in real time. And like everyone is so funny and just says the funniest things.

And I'm really excited for our final episode tonight at 5 p.m. Eastern time on the Spotify live app. You can interact with us. We can read your comments on air if they're particularly funny or you can just listen on Spotify but you just can't comment and stuff. So that'll be really fun. We have to do something really special for our last show. Oh we have to plan something. Maybe I'll sing a song. Yeah but what song? So many options. Maybe I should do them all now and then see if people have a favorite and then I'll do that one tonight.

I think people would love, I think everyone who listens to the show would love that. I think we all are obsessed with Claudia's singing voice. Yeah, I am. Really quickly, I just realized that I am on an antibiotic that I have to take in the morning and I didn't take it. So can you talk for 30 seconds while I just run to my person and get it? Sure. What do I want to plug? Not too much these days, but you could always follow me on Instagram at Jackie Aschere. Premium content some days, no stories on other days, but that's just the kind of gal that I am.

Also, I finally got these swanky podcast headphones so now I feel so legit with my sure microphone and that's what you missed on toast. Claudia's back. Oh and she's drinking her coffee. She has to prioritize her health. I'm back. I talked mad shit. What'd you you say I it was crazy I was telling them like everything I'm gonna check my headphones off I couldn't hear you what did you say bitch you'll have to re-watch oh I re-watched yesterday's episode I've been love you know I'm very anti watching our own show it's just not anti-watching game tape yeah I'm just honestly like not comfortable with it um however that's honestly not like you no I know because I'm just honestly like not comfortable with it. However. That's honestly not like you. No, I know because I'm self-obsessed.

Like the world truly does revolve around me. And I honestly, let's be like real with one another. I cannot believe that there are people out there who don't think that the world revolves around them. Like I know my world revolves around me. I don't think the entire world, but like I do think my world revolves around me. And I just can't believe there aren't people

who like feel that way. Yeah. You know what that reminds me of randomly, just something that stuck with me when Stassi was on her last season reunion for Vanderpump Rules and she was like, got called out for saying that she was like the Beyonce of her friend group. And she was like, if you don't think you're the Beyonce of your own life, what are you doing? No, no totally like who wants to be Michelle yeah no like who doesn't think that they are the star of their own life no I'm sure that there are people who don't think that they're the star of their own lives but like we should all be striving towards that right right not making it a negative thing yeah I agree um what was I saying

before you were saying oh that I don't like to watch our own show but in like the last couple of weeks I've had to watch it just because AV girl gotta know the tech make sure like things need to be changed lighting things like that and I've been enjoying it immensely like yesterday's episode when it ended I was in tears we need more what was your favorite part oh my god such a good question there's so many like I think the beginning we were just being particularly like unhinged before we dove into the stories oh yeah people really liked yesterday's episode I was reading the comments and um that's what that's what it was I like can today. I'm just going to give a PSA. Like my brain is not working. No bueno.

Yeah. It's not a good brain day. I need brain camp. Okay. Wait. I'm like freaking out. Because now I'm thinking. Maybe I did take my antibiotic.

Because I woke up so early. And I'm just like really like having a hard time remembering. And now I just double dosed. Is it the sort of thing that would be okay if you took it twice? Like, yes. I'm just like being dumb. You could count how many are left

and how many you started with. I guess. But that, okay, whatever. I'm not okay. Okay, maybe we both need brain camp. Literally. Maybe we should just dive in. maybe we both need brain camp. Literally. Maybe we should just dive in. Maybe we should dive in.

Take the pressure. Stop talking about ourselves and our fucked up brains. Talk about other people's. 100%. So, without further ado, here are the Fast Fives. Where are you? Bruno loves his auntie. Do-do-do-do-do, where are you?

Theo needs a partner. Where are you? Don't forget God is a man. Where are you? Maybe Theo should get with God. 100%. That's really honestly, in my opinion, the only suitable eligible bachelor for my son, our Lord and Savior.

I could just do the rest of the episode singing do-do-do-do-doos. Don't tempt me. Because honestly, that... Don't tempt me with a good time. That was curing my headache. Wow. Okay, how about this?

Jeanette McCurdy says her dislike for Ari began soon after they started filming their Nickelodeon show when she realized the pop star allegedly got permission to pursue outside opportunities. So she wrote, I booked two features during iCarly that I had to turn down because the iCarly team wouldn't write me out of episodes to go shoot them. She said that in her memoir, she said producers would stuff Ariana Grande's character in a box so that she could miss filming.

She recalls thinking, are you kidding me? So I have to turn down movies while Ariana's off whistle toning at the Billboard Music Awards? Fuck this. I mean, that would piss me off too. Yeah, she said, admitted that once Ari was allowed to ditch filming, she snapped.

Quote, I'm pissed about it. I'm pissed at her, jealous of her for a few reasons. So now every time she misses work, it feels like a personal attack. From that moment on, I didn't like her. I couldn't like her. Clearly the way that this is written is like, this was thinking at that time yeah yeah no and I honestly I don't think that she has hate in her heart for Ariana Grande but first of all when you're a kid like you're always comparing yourself to other people like like life should

be fair but you learn as you grow up life is not fair no but when you when there's a show called Sam and Kat and it is two leads they're two girls they're the same age like everything they are the same they're 50 50 like one cannot have special treatment that is a recipe for disaster well I think like what we've learned about that time at Nickelodeon during the early 2000s or whenever it was like we've learned a lot about that time since then and I think one of the things was that it was super toxic because there was special treatment of certain people. Yeah.

Who else? Like I think in the victorious cast, there was a lot of that. Yeah. With victorious with Tori. Yeah. Well, at least like she's the headliner,

not that anyone should have special training, but like this is different because it's Sam and Kat. Yeah. And you know, it is really interesting to look at the trajectory of the careers of Ariana Grande and Jeanette McCurdy after that show. And that show wasn't on for a super long time. But I also think that,

I mean, I have to read the book, but I just see I impression that I get is like Ariana came into the industry, like with people, you know? And like she, I feel like she had maybe even better people working on her contracts being like Ari's allowed to pursue other projects maybe

the initial contract said she couldn't do other projects and they went back and like negotiated her a better deal and like Jeanette didn't have that in place like who was looking out for Jeanette I don't know right so the part that I'm up to now in the book is she has like an agent she's actually had two agents her first agent was Candace Cameron Beret's mom was she a good agent so she was an agent for her kids Candace Cameron and they said the other her brother you know she has a famous brother who was on Growing Pains okay cool Kirk Cameron maybe I didn't I didn't remember him but so she had two really- Tyler Cameron? Yes, thank you. She had two kids who were really big,

successful child actors. So she started like some sort of agency. She was repped by her for a little while and then moved on to someone else. I'm sure the person she has now in the book is not her agent for all the other stuff that she does. But her mom was really the one who forced her into acting, who was making all the calls so if there was anything like wrong with Sam's setup like it was her mom's fault yeah but I could see that having happened right because her mom is like not a hundred percent

okay like she's erratic and unreasonable and narcissistic and like a bull von you know yeah well I look forward to reading the rest of this book because I wonder if Ari and Sam, Kat, Jeanette have made a reproche moi since that time yeah like where does their relationship stand now yeah and the article doesn't say it doesn't spoil that too no it doesn't spoil that too um I mean I can understand like as a kid hating someone because they get better treatment um but as an adult like you realize it's not their fault like right I feel like that may be where she's going with this but she's just explaining like where her head was at while filming Sam and Cat which only ran for one season right it wasn't even uber successful no I feel like I mean I have

to read the book and I don't remember and I didn't look at the ratings at the time but I feel like it was successful but like the girls hated doing it oh the way that I perceive it just based on like a feeling so not facts right that's my feeling is that it was a flop like they both came from these huge franchises Cat from Victorious and Sam from iCarly and it just didn't take off in the way the others did oh that's not how I perceive it I feel like people really liked it but like Ari wanted to do like Ari Tings and Jeanette like didn't

enjoy doing it and like they didn't want to do it yeah I don't know maybe the book will let us know yeah so I really do like I'm super curious about like where this story goes. I'm just like having a hard time getting through it like actually. And I don't really have that problem a lot. Interesting.

Yeah. I started a different book last night, which I want to read. But then I'll read this. OK. I started Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate. It was really popular like last year, the year before. But now I'm reading it good for you I don't think it's for you okay thank you I appreciate that one of those like I don't know

if it was a Reese's book club pick but it's like one of those what are those those are clothes um so yes I'll keep you updated on my reading journey and like anything interesting I find find out but the first really interesting um like name droppy thing was Candace Cameron Bray. Cool. Keep us posted. Will do. And power through. Yes, ma'am.

Next story. This is really surprising news. Angela Yee tweets that the Breakfast Club as you know it is officially over. So that's the whole tweet with two with that emoji of the heart hands she tweeted the breakfast club as you know it is officially over okay she remained tight-lipped about the cryptic announcement but she tweeted god is good just 15 minutes prior okay two things one for those who don't know the breakfast club is like a really popular radio show um they it's kind of like the toast they go every day and they just like talk about everything.

And they're really funny and people are obsessed with it. And it's been on for a really long time. Yeah, I think it's also available as a podcast. You love to see it. Anywhere podcasts can be found. So that's the first thing. The second thing is that at first my mind obviously went to, oh my God, they're breaking up. But I feel like this is something we would say, like if we got a new studio, you know,

like it's never going to be the same. So I don't know if this is just being dramatic or actually like teasing a shift. I feel like it's teasing a shift. The Breakfast Club, as you know, it is officially over. I feel like that could mean a lot of things. It could mean no more Breakfast Club. It could mean one of them is stepping away. It could mean they're getting a fourth.

It could mean that they're going officially just to podcast only. Yeah, but what it does mean is that the Breakfast Club, as we know, it is officially over, which big if true. That's so crazy. I mean, it is really interesting to me how like, I think in terms of shows, when it comes to pop culture, The Breakfast Club is like really up there for like most relevant. I think a lot of people like want to go on it to promote projects.

It's really like a big platform. And it's primarily radio, which is just random to me, you know? Yeah. I mean, but that's like a lot of things, especially things that start as big platforms, you know? Well, like Howard Stern. But Howard Stern is at least like Sirius XM, so it feels a little bit more current. Like this is am-fum radio. Yeah.

But it's a podcast, which makes it more current. And it's as well as a podcast. Yeah. I wonder what this means. And when the fuck are we going to find out? I don't know. But we'll keep you posted. Yeah, of course.

Charlemagne is on it. What if Charlemagne left? I think that would be like really impactful. That would make the Breakfast Club, as you know it, officially over. Right. I don't know. Makes you think. But I think it's like, it's really a tripod.

Each leg is, I'm staring at my tripod. But like, it's- That's a really good analogy. It's a tripod. Yeah. Each leg is critical. Critical. So what are we?

We are a bicycle. We are a bicycle. And can always get back on the bike. And you never forget, by the way. And you never forget. And it's just like getting back on a bicycle. And can always get back on the bike. And you never forget, by the way. And you never forget. And it's just like getting back on a bicycle. And every time, yeah, you think you're over the toes, like those girls got you stuck.

And then you're like bored and you come back, see what they're up to. What crazy thing are they saying next? And you're like, I missed us. Okay, Jackie, if we are a bicycle, like we're each a wheel, what's the chain? You know, the one that keeps it moving

and holds it together the toasters no the toasters get to sit on the bicycle our blood yeah I would say like our family is the is the links yeah yeah yeah I would say you're the front wheel uh actually you you know, I want to be the front wheel. Like that's like if I'm in a dance, I want to be in the middle. But actually, I think you are the front wheel because the front wheel is the one that turns and like makes, you know, isn't like in charge of the direction. OK. And that's very much like your role on the show.

Like I just wild out and you make sure like we actually get through the show doing all the things we need to get to. Got it. Since you say it's the direction, I agree. But I would say like you're the front wheel because like you're the wheel people see first. It's like, you know, girl with no job. Like everyone. Because I'm bigger. They see me first.

Because like you're more known. Because you're more known. Everyone's like it's girl with no jobs podcast. Like, you know what I mean? says that by the way like no I mean you literally like post the clips to your girl with no job tiktok it's girl with no jobs yeah like like I'm the face and you're just like more private you know and I'm just like that back wheel that's like anchoring the thing you know like I know I know what you're saying but I think my uh mine is better I liked yours too yeah but both wheels are so I'm very literal it's like in a technical sense you are the front Like I know what you're saying, but I think mine is better. I liked yours too.

Yeah. But both wheels are so important. Because I'm very literal. It's like in a technical sense, you are the front wheel. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Let us know in the comments, who's the front wheel? We'll talk about it on Breaking Bread tonight. Ooh, chilling.

Anyway, so we're a bicycle. They're a tripod. I look forward to hearing what this is. And now it's like I wanted to actually I don't want the breakfast club to be over but I want it to be something otherwise like this was a waste of thinking um breaking news from the breakfast club Angela Yee confirms exit she's launching her own show so now they're a bicycle they're a bicycle so she's leaving Charlemagne and DJ Envy she's leaving charlamagne and dj envy

she is launching her own show the breakfast club will continue with the other two on 105.1 fm that's where the oh yeah yeah and where's her show gonna be she said she's leaving the show after 10 years to launch her own nationally syndicated daily program for iheart radio which is the same company that broadcasts the breakfast club she said this is really exciting something that I've been waiting to do for years now way before the pandemic. I have my podcast lip service and I was thinking I would be able to get something like a weekend situation and then she was approached by iHeart and told that they're going to give me my very own show. Okay great. I'm happy for her but of course this makes me wonder like is everything copacetic with everyone?

Because also, like, why couldn't she do her own show and do The Breakfast Club? Charlamagne does a million other things. I think it's going to be a daily show. Oh. And by the way, at the end of the day, like, The Breakfast Club is Charlamagne's show. Like, and it works all together. But it's really like, to be honest before and I'm like familiar with the show before five minutes ago I didn't know that her name was Angela like I like it's Charlemagne

everyone knows Charlemagne so she's probably super talented and her podcast is probably pretty popular which is like one of the things that like iHeartRadio would look at and be like oh she'd make a good host for another show and maybe she just wanted to be her own star which I can understand be the star of your own life be the Beyonce yeah okay I'm really happy for her me too good luck to everyone good and you know like why should there be so many good hosts on one show because there's other shows with all bad hosts so you need to sprinkle the good ones that's true so should we split up there's too many good hosts on this show. No, no, no, no. That's not what I was saying.

You guys, breaking news. The Morning Toast, as you know it. If we had to do like separate shows and we were like competing, we would both like doing daily shows. That would be crazy. Yeah, like mine would probably be better like AV wise, but yours would be better like consistency wise. Like you would actually put up an episode every day yeah and yours would definitely I feel like you would skew more

towards and talking about like you would actually become the show that I want to see in the world which is like influencer drama tiktok drama like what's going on in the sphere like very niche celebrity and I feel like I would just like start talking about the Titanic every day oh you would literally yours would be like a grandma show but there's an audience for that by the way yeah no I know wait but that's why this show is perfect because you really get it all speaking of TikTok do we have any Addison Rae stories today no okay so there's a lot going on with her drama let me tell you okay so we spoke a couple weeks ago. Obviously her dad was like embroiled in this majorly tawdry scandal. He was like

cheating on his wife, whatever, Addison's parents. Then a couple days ago it was reported that Addison unfollowed her mom on Instagram. And somebody posted about it

on Instagram, like the screenshots from Instagram being like Addison unfollowed Sherry and Sherry commented like I'm devastated thus confirming now Addison Rae's dad has become like a like a professional troll you have to see his videos they're blowing up on TikTok he's acting like a fucking freak wanting to like offering like to do you know how Jake Paul fights people like he's like I want to

fight this person I want to fight that person making Jake Paul fights people like he's like I want to fight this person I want to fight that person making videos like taunting them he's in having beef with Tana Mojo because Tana Mojo is like yeah when that um affair thing happened with Monty Addison's dad Tana Mojo was like yeah we know he's a creep like I could tell you a million stories he's so weird then she started posting screenshots on her Instagram of people who out in la have like had really weird creepy interactions with addison ray's dad and she was posting all them and so monty the dad saw that started like slut shaming tana like do we think tana's body count is over 300 it's like sir you're 45 years old like leave this 22 year old alone um he's just losing his

fucking mind now that he doesn't have like a wife to come home to damn well that's he got what he wanted he got what he wanted good because it's the one you got good yeah he got the career he wanted and it's good because it's the one he got okay well thank you for that update and did you talk about the father son holy spirit drama you know I didn't I'm not a hundred percent um caught up on that I saw she just released a bathing suit that said father and son on the bikini triangles and then holy spirit on her vagine yeah and people are upset and to be honest like I hate like when people get upset like so don't buy the bathing suit but like it's it's like offensive it's just like random too it just

seems like hella unnecessary like and then I have to put it in my shoes. Like somebody was selling a bathing suit with Hashem's name on the vagina. Like I would be upset. Yeah, that is weird. It's disrespectful. Yeah. Even if that person was a Jew. For sure.

I agree. She's not a Christian. I mean, she could be a Jew. That TikTok sound, I know you have literally no idea what I'm talking about and if you don't watch TikTok like nobody knows what I'm saying that TikTok sound is

heaven on earth she's not a Christian what's it from? I have no fucking idea okay it doesn't matter she could be a Jew it's so funny

okay we need to move on because new celebrities are jumping off of yachts in formentera bikini clad margot robbie leapt into the ocean during a lavish yacht trip with her rarely seen husband and her pal rami malik have you seen these pics no but how the fuck do rami malik and margot robbie know each other obviously like everyone knows each other i think from a movie and i just find it interesting that they got along. The fourth coming film, Amsterdam.

Okay, I just find it interesting that they, like, got along on a personality level enough to go on vacation together. Yeah, and is Rami still with Lucy? I mean, I haven't seen anything that they broke up, but they're both extremely low-key and private, so. Yeah, but this looks like a, like, something, like a couples thing. Couples. Is she not there? I don't see her, and she wasn't, she's not here. she's not here she's not in the mail picks that's no bueno but Margot Robbie's just looking sickening like just chilling on the boat I don't know if she knows

that the cameras are there but like this looks like an ad campaign the fact that Margot Robbie is you know the most eligible woman in Hollywood um and she shot to fame like so fast and then she just married like a regular guy from her hometown I think or at least from her home country in Australia I just love that about her like do you know how many like A-list celebrity actors would kill themselves to get a date with Margot Robbie and like nobody ever stood a chance yeah I agree but her husband is very nice looking in these pictures yeah no for sure but like I'm sure Leonardo DiCaprio like wouldn't have you know try would have tried when they were on Wolf of Wall Street yeah who who is she always paired up

with in movies you know how it's like Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper. Right. Ryan. Wait. Hold on. I mean, what has she been in? She was in I, Tonya. She was in. What was her breakout role? Oh, Wolf of Wall Street. Yeah.

Maybe she doesn't have a guy. I don't think she has like a go-to partner. And what's cool about Margot Robbie and like what's so crazy. I feel like she hasn't been famous for that long. And she got famous so fast. And she gets the best roles and that's because she owns like a really successful production company all the movies that she's been in in the last like five years are movies that she made herself like she's involved in the script in everything so she's really actually a mogul I love that for her she has like Reese Witherspoon

energy like when her movies are successful it's great for her acting career it's that for her. I really do. She has like Reese Witherspoon energy. Like when her movies are successful, it's great for her acting career. It's great for her production career. Like it's great for everyone. And I feel like there was reports a while back that she's the highest paid actress in Hollywood right now. For sure. That.

Tracks. Tracks. Who was it before? Jennifer Lawrence. Google. Highest. Because there's always like an actress of the moment i feel like for like a year or two was like lupita nyong'o or like oh number one is sofia vergara oh this is well that's on tv that's true it's sofia vergara and um judge judy uh okay so okay this includes tv Okay, so, okay. This includes TV, but number 10, Viola Davis. Number nine, Elizabeth Moss.

Number eight, Ellen Pompeo. Number seven, Nicole Kidman. Number six, Emily Blunt. What TV show? Wait, what is she on? A Quiet Place. Okay. It's that people really liked that.

I just don't think like it's fair to put someone on the list for like two movies do you know what i mean and i love emily blunt like i would literally take a bullet for her number five meryl streep number four melissa mccarthy wow number three gal gadot yes number two angelina jolie number one was sofia Vergara and this was 2020 interesting yeah it's just so interesting what makes people money you know because I think for a while Jennifer Aniston was on that list like for years and years even after not being on friends and not being in movies but it has so much to do with syndication and brand deals and things like that and I just find that interesting like homegirl doesn't even have to work yeah but syndication

makes her like one of the highest paid actresses like and she doesn't have to do anything if you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life see I don't really agree with that because I love what I do I actually don't think I could have a better job to be completely honest like I'm passionate about it I own my own business I'm good at it I get to do it with family um I like there's nothing about my job that I do not like but I still like I roll. It's Monday, you know? So I don't believe that statement. I do agree with you, my friend. I get dressed and I'm like, oh, oh my God, I'd so much rather be home.

Yeah. That's human nature, ain't it? Ain't that the truth? Are you ready for our next story? Someone else got another job. Is it the next story that's brought to you by Bowling Branch, perhaps? Yeah. Thank God.

Kim Kardashian got another job. She has brought her signature all neutral style to Beats by Dre.

Kim Kardashian announced her Beats X Kim collection yesterday, modeling three neutral-tone versions of the brand's popular Fit Pro earbuds of her own design. In an Instagram teaser video she posted earlier today, the star wore a metallic bronze zip front crop top and matching bike shorts as a team applied her makeup and adjusted the headphones in her ear. So she has released three Beats by Dre headphones in three different neutral colors. So this is like a crazy collab. I feel like this is like doing a collab with Apple. You know Beats by Dre is like such a premium top tier billion dollar company and I know Kim has

always been this way. I just feel like recently she's really been in her mogul era yeah and she's doing a lot of endorsements considering she has so many um lines of her own that she has to promote like skims and skikin and now she is also doing beyond me and beats you know what that's a good call and I feel like it has to do with the fact that like in the last year she's done like a lot of partnerships, but also in the last year, I feel like she's been in the best place publicly. Like people are really coming around on Kim, like beyond the diehard fans. I mean, like overall public perception, people have really come to respect her businesses, her work on social justice. businesses her work on social justice like I think this is like the most and it is it's like the most popular she's ever been but it's also I think like the most well-received she's ever been that's interesting she got a lot of sympathy when you know all that Kanye stuff was going down and she was like this you know 40 year old woman and dating a younger guy like I think a lot more people are opening themselves up to like Kim,

whereas some people just for no reason are like, oh, those Kardashians. Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. So she's probably worth more now than ever. And I think for a while, like she was obviously getting offered brand deals, but like the money wasn't worth tarnishing her brand. And now not only is the money so good,

but these are brands that only bring Kim up. Yeah. Yeah. These are factual points that you're making. And I do think like for her to put her name on something that's not her own business, like she needs a big paycheck and now she's commanding those checks, even though like for me, she should have been getting them for 10 years, but yeah. Right. Of course of course now the thing is like I want to support Kim love love love but you know I'm not a beats by Dre girly like especially when it comes to bluetooth air uh headphones which I don't really love like I'm going airpods and I'm not even going airpods new generation because I don't like those little like silicone shits you put in your ear I like the OG airpods even though mine work for a total of 25 seconds before the battery dies. Yeah. I use my AirPods, but I'm actually

open to a new product because I'm not sold on my AirPods. Like I think they're really faulty and shitty. And I actually just bought these headphones, these podcast headphones yesterday. I was, when you went to take your antibiotic I was telling everyone about my new look um in between talking shit about you and I wish that she had come out with a big chunky pair of headphones in those neutral colors I would have bought one look that one looks like my hair color it would have looked so good yeah I'm very much into wired headphones obviously they're not a perfect product the wire becomes like fucking annoying like what am I supposed to do with this thing all day and And it has its problems, especially when

you're using it on a phone. Like how the fuck am I supposed to listen to music and charge my phone on the airplane? But I think it's better. I have regressed. And I feel like with technology, like you never regressed. You're always moving forward, getting the better phone, the new phone, the new product. And like a year ago, I went back to my wired headphones that plug into my charging port and I never looked back. Yeah. So I hope that they extend this line to big chunky headphones because I'm not obsessed with air pods that's where we got our air pods and I'm not obsessed with bluetooth earphones and if I am like gonna use them I going to use the Apple ones sadly. For now. For now.

But they do look really nice on her stories. I was really being influenced. And what's so great about her and why her brand is so successful is like she really brings her aesthetic to everything she does. And when I saw those headphones I'm like oh my god Skims made headphones? Like it's really her aesthetic. Yeah true that. And that's on being consistent. I just wanted to give an update

because I was using my Skikin last night because I washed my hair. I don't know if you could tell. And I just like was treating myself to five minutes of self-care. As you should. And I went through the Skikin whole like nine step regimen. Usually I use like one or two.

I switch it up. I'd like to switch up my skincare every day. And I just love it so much. And I think it's such a great product. And I've been using it for a few months now. And like, this isn't an ad or anything, but I always wanted to like update. It's hard to give a review of a skincare product

right when you get it, because you need time with it. But I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Skakin. And if you're on the fence or need specific products, like they're all great. Good. So there's my review. Official review is in.

For that price point, they better be great. Yeah, but I know like people were, I haven't heard a lot of users saying like the actual products are good. And also they do look nice in my bathroom. I was worried that they wouldn't vibe, but they vibe. I'm so relieved. I know everyone was so worried about the vibe in my bathroom. I was.

I was. The truckers are here. You hear them? Truckers for Kim's vibe. Truckers for Skakin. Truck-a-curs. I feel like I just said something bad. I don't know why.

Like a curse word? Truck-a-curs. Okay. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? I am. Do you have another advertisement or not? No, dear toasters yeah about that i don't know if today's my day for dear toasters what do you mean i just don't think i have the headspace today to give good advice girly pop we're doing it say the story okay i'm warning you fifth and final story mindy kaling says rumors about bj novak being her children's father

don't bother her true mindy kaling is addressing the rumors that her longtime friend bj novak could be the father of her children in an interview with marie claire published on tuesday that never have i ever creator who has kept the paternity of her children private revealed that the speculation about bj novak possibly fathering her children doesn't bother her quote he's the godparent to both of my kids and they have such a great relationship and so Revealed that the speculation about BJ Novak possibly fathering her children doesn't bother her. Quote, he's the godparent to both of my kids and they have such a great relationship. And so far, the rumors haven't affected my happiness at all. It hasn't affected my kids or BJ.

She said, if that's what's going to be titillating to people, I'll take it. Wait, I didn't know that he was their godfather. And the fact that he is like makes me think he's not the dad. He is not the father. I mean, was it ever confirmed that it was like someone we know or someone she knows? Like it wasn't like a sperm donor? Nope. She never spoke about the paternity.

But people just feel like it's BJ. Right. And I don't really care about the paternity. Not because I don't care, but because it's none of my fucking business. Like that's insanely invasive. And I actually was thinking about Mindy Kaling the other day. She's obviously doing, like, a lot of press, because I saw these gorge photos of her in Marie Claire. And then she was on Watch What Happens Live,

and she just, like, looked amazing, and she was being funny. And she's, like, have you ever, do you ever just, like, sit back and think about certain people? Yes, but not Mindy. And so I was sitting back and thinking about her, and I was just like sit back and think about certain people yes but not Mindy and so I was sitting back and thinking about her and I was like just like damn she's really someone who got where she is like because she's so talented like there's so many people that were on the office like and it was their breakout role even BJ Novak and none of them have accomplished like literally what Mindy Kaling has accomplished and she's so funny and she's so talented and she's a really

good like she has her finger on the trigger of. And she's so funny and she's so talented and she's a really good, like she has her finger on the trigger of like what's cool and popular and like the culture. And I watch Never Have I Ever. I think it's great. And I just love her like for real. I agree. She's another one who like really gets involved

behind the scenes, puts herself in her own project, but also not. She's a real mogul. Sex Lives with college girls is her most recent work that i've seen and it's just so fantastic yeah i said literally she knows what's relevant when you hear at this point when you hear that mindy kaling is attached to something like it gives it a level of gravitas where it's like okay this isn't gonna be garbage you know you know it's

gonna be good and it's gonna not gonna be like cringy or like it's gonna accurately represent like what it's like to be young right now. Yeah. She's great. And I was just like sitting back and like thinking about her because I literally forgot she was on The Office. True. Zach's always watching The Office. So I'm always subject to think about and she actually doesn't have a big role from what I know. She's kind of like guest. But so many of the people really are so big from the office And like just the office Like some people don't even do other things

Other than like go on Cameo And be their office character Brian Baumgartner He's what He makes the most money on Cameo Of all the people on the platform I feel that I do

Yeah It's just interesting The whole office thing is crazy And it's also crazy that it's What's that guy's name? Steve Carell Steve Carell And like, Steve Carell. And like now he is.

Like probably one of the top actors. I was also thinking about Steve Carell the other day because I saw a clip on TikTok from Little Miss Sunshine, which is just an incredible movie that I forgot he was in. And I was thinking about him too, like sitting back and just thinking the arc of his career from like funny man, funny man, funny funny man overnight like serious actor yeah I'm sure it wasn't overnight for him I'm sure it was a very targeted precise trajectory but it's crazy how he goes from being Michael Scott like biggest clown alive to serious Steve And I've seen a lot of episodes of The Office, not all of them. And I am here to tell you like the worst part of the show and part of the reason why I never

fully sat down and watched the series from start to finish is Steve Carell's character. So I just think it's interesting that he's so famous when literally I wanted to put my hands around his throat and choke him through the TV screen on The Office. He's so fucking annoying and stupid. The whole show is annoying and stupid. There are moments, and actually Mindy Kaling. There are moments. I've seen enough to say, yeah, there are moments, but I couldn't sit through watching it

just for those few moments. And Mindy Kaling on Watch What Happens Live was asked what her top five favorite episodes of The Office are. And obviously I haven't seen all of them, but I do have a favorite episode, one that I will go back and actually like watch clips on YouTube.

It's so funny. And it's called Diversity Day. And it's her favorite episode too. And she was like, I think it might've been taken down on some streaming services. Like it's hella crass. And she's like, that's my favorite episode.

I'm so glad we did it because like you could never get something like that made today. It was hysterical. That's so funny. I can also tell you've been watching old Toast Clips because you've resurfaced hella. Wow. You're so observant.

Yeah. There was a time where you were saying it hella often. And when you're watching old Toast Clips yesterday and I was reminded of those times and now you've brought it back to the fore I think that's good that way none of our good like jokes or limericks or phrases get lost yeah and it's good because you are like a west coast surfer girl and it's important that people know that cowabunga dude hella he hella. Hella hella. Hella. Hella hella hella.

All right, you ready for these to your toaster submissions? Yeah, and I just want to say, like, I was so excited about these headphones, but they are exacerbating my headache, so.

Oh, it's like a headband. Yep. Do yours not give you a headache? No. Jackie, what came first, the headphones or the headache the head the headache came first then the headphones made it worse got it uh no mind you not give me a headache I'll send you the the brand they're super loose just like me dear Jackson Claude how you darn darn first time long time toaster first time dear toasters writer you need to buckle up I wonder if you've had anyone who has written twice and been read twice.

Let us know. My brother-in-law Brad and his wife Lucy were recently married in February. They were engaged earlier last year and also had a baby together in October 2021 prior to getting married. My best friend Bridget and Lucy have always been somewhat flirty touchy towards each other no one ever thought anything of it Bridget is generally always like that with most girls until recently Lucy and Bridget kissed which led to them hooking up to them now wanting to be in a full-on relationship so her best friend and her sister-in-law at first so like just the two of

them oh I don't know let's see at first brad was not upset when he found out that lucy and bridget had kissed but now that he knows about them hooking up and wanting to be exclusive brad has zero clue what to do and neither do i or my husband who's brad's brother brad wants to work this out with lucy so badly for the sake of their marriage and their baby but lest we not forget that my best friend is also intertwined in this it's really putting me in a pickle with her as well as my husband's family and I have zero clue on how to navigate this. Please give your honest advice on how you would handle

this situation. Love, a toaster stuck between a rock and a hard place. Well, this is weird. Like, is Lucy trying to leave Brad? Like, what she just says? Yes.

But like, that's not what she said. She said they want to be exclusive. Like, in a relationship, therefore not in a relationship. So divorce. With Brad. So divorce. Divor Brad so divorce divorce yeah no I guess that's true that's a weird way of saying it yeah I feel like she's just like wants to stay married and be in a relationship with

Bridget but they should be a tripod it's giving Bronwyn energy and even Bronwyn ended up getting divorced because she did not like her husband so I agree I think I mean the girl who wrote in is like not involved so I think what the question she's asking is like how do I navigate this like this is my husband's family Brad is my family now but Lucy's my friend you don't do anything you sit back watch grab some popcorn and see what happens yeah but if if you do have to choose a side like you have to choose Brad's side I agree like family is family and family is family. And he was wronged. Like he was wronged. And yeah,

I totally agree. And he's your family. And even though Bridget's your friend, like she's acting like not. A friend. Not a friend. Yeah. And she's ruining a happy family.

No, she's like running amok and not like caring about the consequences of her actions. Yeah. Like there's a child involved. Yeah. The thing is, if somebody does seek out your advice, like Brad, Lucy, any of the people involved, Bridget, I agree with Jackie.

Like there might be like an unorthodox solution to this, but I can't imagine Brad, who's obviously traditional, you know, he got married. I don't know if he would be open to that. Yeah. But there might be an answer there. But also, what the fuck does Brad know about Bridget? Like, what if Brad could get involved?

Right. So like, I would say, I would encourage everyone to be open to any possibility. But again, it's possible that they're not. Yeah.

And it's a lot. For you, stay out of it. For you, stay out of it. This is complicated enough without you getting your ass involved. Agreed.

Good luck to everyone. Yeah. Keep us posted. Good you, stay out of it. This is complicated enough without you getting your ass involved. Agreed. Good luck to everyone. Yeah, keep us posted. Good morning, Jackson Claude. Hello. I have to start off by saying I love you guys. Listening to the toast on my commute to my first ever big girl job has made the transition from college to working girl that much better. Last month, I overheard my mom tell her friend that she told my dad

that she should have divorced him when she found out he cheated on her. I'm sorry, say that again. Yeah, no, it's a confusing sentence, but listen, this girl overheard her mom talking on the phone to her friend and her mom said on the phone, I should have told dad. No, sorry. I should have divorced dad. I'm trying to paraphrase this and I'm making it worse. Let me just read it again. Last month, I overheard my mom tell her friend that she, my mom, told my dad that she should have divorced him when she found out he cheated on her. Okay. When did he cheat on her?

You getting it? You got it? Yep. My mom has no idea that I heard it and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. I love my parents and I'm the closest of my siblings with my dad. I'm also the youngest in the family and I'm the only child still living at home. I'm 23. I have no recollection of my parents fighting growing up,

but my oldest sister, who's 26, says that she does have a recollection. I imagine this must have happened so long ago, but now I'm constantly thinking about it and worried that my mom will act on this feeling. Of course, I hate the idea that my dad could have done that, especially because my mom deserves the world, and how could he have done that to her

and his three children? If we were alive at the time, she doesn't know when the affair was but finding this out shattered my world do I talk to my parents do I pretend like I never heard it I hate confrontation and I know the conversation will be so awkward I mean it would be best if you found out when this happened obviously if it happened before you were born like that would be really I don't think it did because I don't think she would say that yeah like obviously it was like a few years ago and she thought she was over it but now she's coming to the realization that she ain't yeah and if that's the case it was a few years ago and like you're grown and your and your family's grown like you just have to I don't know. See, the thing is, I, the only reason, normally I would say like just forget about it.

But the fact that she heard her mom like still having doubts means A, it's recent. And B, it's not like, it's not resolved. It's still very much up in the air. But you are 23. And I think maybe a good thing to, for you to do just to protect your heart. Like you can't protect everyone. You can't make sure your mom or dad doesn't get hurt. But you can protect yourself.

And I think for a lot of people like who grow up with parents who like hide all the fighting and like the arguments and think everything's perfect. And then they're, you know, suddenly 25 and their parents are getting divorced. It's like an earth shattering concept for them. Whereas some people's parents get divorced and it's like fairly obvious shattering concept for them. Yeah. Whereas some people's parents get divorced and it's like fairly obvious their parents weren't ever happy together. And like, it's a tough transition, but ultimately they realized that it was the best thing for their parents. Yeah. But there are people who get to this place of being an adult who still kind of

idolize their parents' relationships. And when they do get divorced, it's like the worst thing ever. So my advice would be like, maybe start getting comfortable with the idea of your parents not being together because if they do get divorced and you don't take it well like it'll have a profound effect on you like you've actually been given a warning yeah that it might come so why don't you do like some like not therapy but like self do some work yeah and just get to a place where you're comfortable with the potential of it yeah and also like you live at home with your parents like whichever one you feel closer to just talk to them about it be like I overheard this and I think she the vibe was that like she is closer with her dad yeah well then talk to him and be like did you cheat on mom the fuck I actually think that's

good yeah because that way you don't have to admit to your mom that you were eavesdropping because I don't know who just like magically hears people on phone calls yeah um and you're coming at it from like a defensive place you're not on the offense with your dad so no you're on the offense yeah I just I don't know like maybe you should move out well I think that's another lesson here that you know nothing good comes from living at home as an adult. Cause then you're an adult and you're like, and they're having, they're still a couple too. And like couples have stuff and now you're like living with a couple. That's true. Like I am actually a big fan of moving home to save money,

but, and she said she's post-grad. So no, I get, no, I understand why people move home, but you know, then you're kind of in the middle of stuff like this and you're like an intruder like your parents raised you for 18 years get the fuck out yo if my kids come home after 18 like you're sleeping in the yard and you'll do chores you can live here like as a housekeeper like I'm finally getting my life back. Fuck off. Yeah. I'm not into it like at all. Well if they could pay rent too. So go pay rent in someone else's jail. They could pay your bills. They could pay your bills. I take care of myself just fine. I don't need my kids to take care of me. When I'm older yes of course I want them to buy me a beachfront condo. Perhaps get me a nurse.

When they're 23, you would be about 50? I don't know. It depends. It depends. But like, I just don't want,

and also, I don't think it's good for the kids. Like, after college, you should get out. You should meet people. You should date.

You should make friends. You should be having crazy experiences. You know, you're only in your 20s for so long. The fuck are you doing in my living room?

Yeah. Yeah, like, and then also, just like, being privy to all of this like couple drama and also not being able to grasp the concept of your parents relationship not being perfect yeah and it's like me and ben had to like let people into our home for 18 years and now they're coming back i don't think so so i do think that's good. Get yourself comfortable with the idea. Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Like your parents might get divorced. Sit with that for a while and also start looking at an apartment. And even if they don't, like your parents' relationship like isn't and hasn't always been hunky dory. And you're all alive and healthy and for me as a child of divorce and a child of a dead dad I have and this is mean I'm sorry like I have little to no sympathy for people who's like

biggest trauma is their parents divorce like Kim there's people that are dying my dad okay yeah ready for our third and final dear toasters not to trauma dump on everyone um trauma oh that's is that the new term by the way another overused term that means nothing anymore is trauma trauma agreed um yeah trauma dump is when you just like don't stop telling everyone like your deepest darkest secrets this podcast should be the morning trauma dump no that sounds like i would love to hear someone's trauma dump. I actually, I don't think you would like, because I think also the concept of trauma actually is like, it's like you're putting this heaviness on someone else.

I take it back. It's a burden. Nevermind. Nevermind. All right. Dear Jackie and Claudia, long time listener, first time caller. Love you both and the show. My husband and I have been married for three years and we are expecting our first baby

together in January. He's the best. He's caring. He's he's supportive loyal amazing dog dad etc but he has an extremely unhealthy lifestyle he doesn't exercise at all he works from home so aside from walking the dog he sits in his desk chair literally all day he insisted we get a peloton and hasn't been on it in months and he eats really really unhealthy fried food lots of sugar no fruits and veggies he's in his 30s and at his last doctor's appointment he was told he's overweight and has high cholesterol I don't even care about how he looks I love every inch of him but I am concerned about his health especially since we're starting a family so how if at all do I bring this up to him I don't want to come off as judgmental but shouldn't partners

be able to voice concerns given we're not only going to be living for ourselves anymore sincerely a concerned mama to be that's really tough but I think a situation that's extremely common now I know by the way I feel like we just spoke about this when we were talking about Luke Combs oh I know that like wait and see is not um a plan but I do think sometimes like becoming a father not just like you being sometimes it happens when a woman is pregnant and the man is like I want to be you know around for my kid I want to be able to throw the ball and play catch I do think sometimes that might happen after the baby is born and like the the man can like see exactly you know and and think I was and come to that realization himself I also think again not to like have you postpone this but when whenever you want to like after you give birth and you know

take all the time you need just like your girl here but eventually like you might want to like lose baby weight or whatever like that's something you can do together and you can make it less like you need to go lose weight and instead be like we as a family need to get healthy and then the whole household changes so I completely agree with everything you said. I was going to say the exact same thing. Like obviously your man's isn't pregnant. So it's possible that like the magnitude of what's about to happen hasn't really hit him. And I don't think it hits a lot of guys until they actually hold the baby because men are just like, you know, slower. So I think actually it might have a profound effect on him and how he chooses to live his life moving forward. So I wouldn't say anything yet,

because I think there's still potential for him to come to the conclusion on his own. And I love what you just said. Like, he won't maybe feel attacked if you say to him, like, I'm, you know, I want to get back in shape. You know, let's think about it. Like, I'm this baby's mom. Like, we're his parents. Like, we have to be around for as long as possible and in the best shape so that we can, you know, be the best parent best parent like to come at it from a we versus you yeah is much less offensive and less of an attack yeah and also you could also bring the baby into it and be like I want him or her to lead a healthy lifestyle and I want them to you know us to lead by example for him you can make it like a whole thing and really make it a family

activity also it's also kind of really hard to implement something like that while you are pregnant because at least for me when I was pregnant like all of a sudden we had not healthy food in the house like it would have been so hard for me to be like I'm buying Oreos and all this stuff for the first time that like because I'm craving it and you can't eat it you know two things one I do feel as though the fact that he, like, wanted a Peloton means he's open. Like, I mean, I can understand buying a Peloton and never using it. Like, that's definitely something I would do because one day I'm like, yeah, let's do it. The other thing is that I also think your verbiage and your phrasing is super important

because if you're fixated on, like, I want you to lose weight, like, that's mean. And then it could make him insecure that maybe you're notated on like, I want you to lose weight, like that's mean. And then it could make him insecure that maybe you're not attracted to him. So I think like in terms of messaging, I would stay on the key points, which is just basically health. It has nothing to do with how much you weigh. It's about what you're putting in your body. And what that's affecting your, that's affecting your cholesterol, your heart rate, things like that. What you feel like I would do it as like, as a family, we should get healthy and healthy and you know get to a place where you can run around the yard with him what doesn't it's not about what you look like in order to do that some people are you know extremely in shape not

in shape but really thin and can or aren't like healthy enough to do that so but then there are people who are bigger and people would assume that they're completely out of shape and they're in great shape. Yeah. So it's about like what's going on on his insides. Yeah, exactly. So I wouldn't like really focus on numbers or weight or pounds. Like just overall wellness. Like be very Melissa Wood health about it, you know? Guru.

But unfortunately, and it's like so annoying, but it's going to require like you doing like the grocery shopping and the healthy cooking. And, you know. In addition to have just delivered a baby. But that's on being a woman. Literally. It's disgusting. So do all that when you are good and ready. Yeah.

Don't do anything yet. Like just don't stress yourself out. Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. Eat whatever you want. But wait and see if he comes to it on his own. I have faith. I feel I have faith I feel like he might yeah you'll you'll be okay I feel like you did a good job even though I know you have a headache yeah no I got once I'm into it I'm into it thank you to everyone who
