Good morning millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Wednesday everyone. Happy hump day!
Hope everyone's having a great hump day. Hey Jax, how you doing?
I'm doing good. I can't believe it's only Wednesday. Honestly, it should be a Thursday.
It really should be. It should be Saturday.
Maybe because I've been podcast, podcast, podcasting vlogging redheads TMT never ends and it just
feels like I've done I've done way more episodes this week than days of the week that have passed
but it's just one of those weeks you know leading up to the holiday weekend you got to get it all in
that's what I like to call mogul energy yes this is mogul energy exuding and mogul energy is exhausted energy. I was up so late
editing last night's episode of the redheads that we recorded. It's an hour and a half. The girls
could not stop talking. It's such a different episode because obviously we're recapping the
book that we read, but the book that we read is like really reflective on your twenties and just
like. It's about you about your in I don't know
it wasn't plot driven it was character driven and it's all about like the person that you are
and all the things that make you and so it was very personal honestly Jackie that's beautiful
I know so it was it was raw and I hope everyone really likes it I finished finished editing last night, which I'm so happy about.
So I'll be out tomorrow morning, bright and early.
You know, the Redheads, we rise and grind.
Those episodes drop at 7 a.m.
You're extremely scheduled and regimented.
And I think the Redheads community appreciates that.
Yeah, because that's the sort of routine, consistency that the community demands.
Because like these are people who are reading books.
Like I'm not going to read this whole last book just for your episode to be coming out a week late
no and that is something I'm seeing a lot just like as an observer of social media culture
it's like if you have a weekly podcast and maybe this is just like I can be judgmental because I
have a daily podcast and for the most part we get it up um but like you're doing a weekly podcast
and people are always like oh today's episode is gonna be up tomorrow or I didn't record this week like what
yeah like you have one job you get the episode up I'm seeing that a lot I'm seeing a lot of lazy
energy for my for my comrades but maybe that's also just summer energy maybe but the excuse
runs out this week and next week obviously it's the first week after labor day
first week back at work but i'm also seeing like i saw a headline that goldman sachs is making all
of their employees i don't know why goldman sachs has become like the go-to for what's going on hr
in the office across the country but like every time they do something it becomes news right every
employee back in the office after labor day no excuses no more part-time from home like it's over oof that sucks I mean two and a half years
later going on three years of this it's time to get back to work like I guess but I do think what
we've learned from these last two three years is that like you can work a full-time job and like
if you're remote like you can travel like you can have a fulfilling personal life too which I feel like people really need like certain jobs
especially fucking Goldman Sachs like you have no time for anything else you know yeah I would say
that's a good point but I do think um people and people need work and they need obviously work
balance but they also need to be able to travel and do things for their mental health but I feel
like the last two and a half years everyone's been working from home and mental
health is at an all-time low that's true that's true um because of like the quarantine of it all
yeah like you're supposed to go out every day get dressed yeah see the sun you know have fresh air
all of these things are important to living a good life. For sure.
But I do think this concept of like, you know, traveling but not being off is like a thing.
Like now that we've proven like you can fulfill all your responsibilities while, you know, maybe going to Miami and working from there.
Like that should be an option, you know, for like these new media companies.
Yeah, I think it is an option but I would actually argue that that makes the problem that exacerbates a lot of these
issues like you need to have time off like I feel like back in the day you used to work from nine
to five and and you had to be in at nine but you left at five and your day was over and I mean back
in the day like 80s you know working girl phones, email, you couldn't have email on your cell phone, like at five o'clock, the day was over.
Now the day never ends because you're constantly expected to be on. And now that goes into vacation
to like, you should have you should take a vacation, you should take the time off, you should
put on your Oh, and you should not be disturbed. So you can actually recharge and not just be
answering emails on the beach.
I learned about that in my media class. It's called personal autonomy. Nobody has personal autonomy anymore because you're technically always on the clock when you work like with emails.
Right. The plus side to that though is that it allows you to maybe mosey into the office at 11
because you've been on email since nine. And your mouse was moving on team. So I said you were available. So everything is pros and cons. Yeah, it really is. And you can make the argument
for either. And I know every time I talk about people going back into the office, I get yelled
at and that's fine. Come for me. But that's how I feel. And I think it's good. Okay, I feel like
mixed about it. I definitely think that, you know, consistently working from home is good for nobody's mental health.
And there's no boundaries between like personal space, office space.
But I do think there were some good things that came out of it, honestly.
And like I think the way that like our jobs are like something, you know, you have to do like forever in order to live.
Like so fucked up.
Well, that's why if you love what you do,
it's better for sure.
No.
Yeah.
Cause I don't agree with,
if you love what you do,
you'll never work a day.
Cause I absolutely love with what I do.
I don't have one.
I mean,
I could,
you know,
drum up some complaints,
but I really don't have complaints about what I do.
And even I wake up with my alarm and I'm like,
no.
Yeah.
So I do love what I do,
but it still feels like work
it's just good it's fun yeah but then do you ever feel like whenever we have a long weekend or
something and you didn't go away but we're just like home and not doing episodes that you almost
miss it oh no I didn't think that's what you were gonna say no I was gonna say do you ever feel like
when it's a long weekend and you don't do anything you stay at home like that's what you were going to say. No, I was going to say, do you ever feel like when it's a long weekend and you don't do anything, you stay at home? Like that's what life would be
like without a job. But it's not good. I mean, of course, it's not good. Exactly. It's good.
And especially in between large stretches of working, it's good. But to do that every day,
no, that's not a purposeful life. That's like everything. Not everything is meant to be enjoyed
all the time, but doing hard work, it gives you a sense of purpose. And that gives you a sense of self.
And that is important.
Yeah, no, I wasn't saying it like a positive thing.
Being at home, and this is coming from someone who,
I worship my home.
I can't spend enough time there.
It's low-key boring.
And if that's your same shit every day, very monotonous,
it's not a purposeful life, 100%.
And there have to be bad parts of life
so you can appreciate the good parts.
Yeah.
So I get it.
But like, I just think it would be cool
if nobody had to work, you know?
Like a utopia.
Okay.
You sound like a socialist.
Is that why?
Like, yeah, I guess it's like giving kibbutz energy.
But like, I just think like everyone hates working
and like, we should do something about that, you know? Yeah. But that just counters what you just
said, which is that when you're not working. No, I know. I'm saying I feel both ways. I'm feeling
like, yeah, for sure. It would be boring, but like, let's try. Um, that's new for you feeling
both ways. Is it? No, I'm kidding. Oh yeah. Okay. we feel both ways about everything I feel what you're saying
too right I see both sides I just I happen to feel a little more strongly that way am I
a socialist I'm extremely social so that makes sense yeah and I've spent many times on kibbutzes
that is not your vibe let's talk about a kibbutz. A lot of people don't know
one of the core tenements of socialism was like started in Israel because in Israel they're like
a lot of people live on kibbutzes which are like these little communities that as a young person
like if you go and visit which when we were like in middle school we went to Israel and like they
have you live on a kibbutz to like really experience what life is like there and it's like a totally socialist little commune where you know nobody really um everyone's the
same like everyone works different jobs but they're all like the same level of difficulty
and you earn the same wage for each according to his ability for each according to his ability to
each according to his need okay so um they're very not um luxurious if if that's a right way of putting it um I have
experienced time on a kibbutz the schnitzel was good I will say and they had rice which is my
favorite food so I don't have complaints about the food but like everything else it just like
wasn't for me so maybe I'm not a socialist. Well, you know what? And also like you were coming into this kibbutz.
Oh, sorry.
I'm not a socialist.
I'm a socialite.
You were coming into the kibbutz as a tourist.
Like you weren't toiling.
Right.
I was getting like a good treatment.
They were treating me well.
I don't think that's what it's like usually like.
And people in Israel, it's like a cult.
Like they love kibbutzes.
I'm like, no. Not for me.
And I think there are experimental communities in the States that have a similar energy to kibbutz vibes.
Yeah.
And sorry, when I said socialism started in Israel, I don't think that's right.
No, it's not right.
Karl Marx.
Marx, right?
Yeah, he's not Israeli.
Okay, sorry.
But like they uphold a lot of socialist vibes over
there and their kibbutzes is what i meant yes um i don't want people coming for me like claudia
you think everything the jews invented everything well karl marx was a jew but okay
he was i'm pretty sure it's like such um actually it is a pretty jewish last name
karl with a k though this doesn't give jewish energy yeah it's a big Jewish last name. Carl with a K, though, doesn't give Jewish energy.
Yeah, it's a big yikes for us.
Yeah, that's, wow, I didn't know that. Maybe the Jews did invent socialism.
This episode has just taken such a turn.
I wasn't brushed up on my socialist history today.
So apologies if I've gotten anything wrong.
One thing about me, I literally have no idea what like socialism or like these big isms are you know like
I know capitalism is like about business and money socialism is about like the pie right
like everyone gets the same slice yes for each according to his ability to each according to
his need okay you keep saying that like it's going to ring some sort of bell.
Okay.
Oh, right.
Yeah, the need.
I don't know.
Say it again.
I still won't know.
Like from each according to his ability.
No, I understand it.
Is that a phrase from something?
It's from the Communist Manifesto, I think.
By Karl Marx. By Karl Marx.
Wait, now I'm, okay, I'm googling Karl Marx. He has German ancestry, but he was a lapsed Christian.
Oh, and he's an atheist and an anti-Semite. Great. That's really good to know. That's,
that's so us getting confused whether a person is jewish or anti-semitic you know because it's really tough to tell you're either one or the other you're either one or the other yeah so sorry about that correction update alert alert okay i'll have to go down this rabbit
hole how did we get into this conversation oh that people are going back to work yes labor day
weekend the fun is officially over next week. So enjoy this weekend while you can, you guys. Breathe it in,
get fresh air, hang with friends, have a beverage. Just it's not going to be fun for a few months
until Christmas season. We're almost entering that season. And I'm like, I'm excited.
Yeah, I'm personally here for it. And if I may, if you are going back to work and maybe you're going back five days for the first time in two and a half years,
may I share some of the pros that I see in like corporate culture
that maybe could get you excited?
Sure.
Free food.
Free food, outfits.
It's like, why don't you watch, you know, Younger or The Bold Type?
Those shows like get me excited about going into an office.
Getting dressed up.
Getting dressed up, going into work work where are we going for lunch let's you never know who you could meet you
know like a sexy man from the business department yeah let's go for after work drinks make a plan
for a happy hour already don't get like too drunk or that will ruin the rest of your week don't
maybe like set up a date this week so you go to happy hour drinks after work and then you like go on a date. Like this is like what life is supposed to be.
Right.
The intra-office drama.
Yeah.
Love that.
It's going to be fun.
And then you'll have great stuff
to write for Dear Toasters.
Right.
Which is our advice segment
that we have today too.
Yes, we do.
It is Wednesday.
That's a good call.
I thought you were going to say
one of the positive,
like one of the,
I thought you were going to suggest
things to help people who are in the workplace by signing up for our Patreon. That's what I thought you were gonna suggest um things to help people who are in the
workplace by signing up for our Patreon that's what I thought you were gonna say oh definitely
that also we're here for you we're doing the show and if you did if you did take the summer off you
probably didn't listen to all our episodes go back and listen honestly this has probably been
our funniest summer on record 100% and if you are a toaster you know what I think we should talk about
it oh let's talk about it I want to talk about like the state of the toast but if you are a
toaster and you missed some episodes like please go back and watch because we're really proud of
them we're hashtag proud yes so I was actually I feel like we had this conversation when I was in
Florida but I've been thinking about it a lot recently because like the vibe of this show has changed so much
and not in the sense of like the structure or anything we've done the same thing for every show
since we started but definitely the um the vibe you know the conversation the tone the tone um
and I feel like when we first started honestly I cannot believe people used to watch like our
episodes in the pink studio like we were literally not. I think we were so afraid of like saying the wrong thing that we
were just like kind of being like losers. Like every story, it was like, we're so happy for them.
Like, actually, I'm not, you know? So now that I feel like we've gotten more comfortable and like
it's been a long time, we've really established our brand and we've had you know people come people go people stop listening stop start listening restarting
now we just feel really set and that really gives me the freedom to say whatever the fuck I want
including the fact that I might be a socialist you know you know what that's not a hot take these
days you'll probably get a lot yeah no I think socialism is I think it's like trendy now no like if I say I'm a capitalist and you say you're a socialist let's see who gets more hate
okay yeah I want to be the popular one so whichever one that is like I choose the dangerous
one because I'm not afraid of a challenge okay L you're such an L and I'm such a Vivian like
jealous wench no but back to what you were saying I agree with everything and I'm such a Vivian, like jealous wench. No, but back to what you were saying,
I agree with everything. And I also think it's, um, it's a testament to how long we've done this
show, but it's also just us growing up in general and just being more confident women, more sure of
ourselves and not letting people's opinions of us change what we do or how we move. Yeah. No. And at the end of the day, like
I'm really just feeling like I want to say how I feel. Like if I don't support women,
like that's how I feel. You know what I mean? And like, for the most part, like I don't support
women, you know? Like, and I just feel like that needs to be said. Like, are you cool? Then I'll
support you. You know, like, are you nice?
But I don't believe in blind female support.
And that kind of, that is something that definitely came with age, you know?
Yeah.
So I feel like the tone of the show has definitely changed recently.
And I think that has to do with us changing.
And I feel really good.
I feel, I agree.
Like, this was our funniest record to date.
Nope.
Our funniest summer to date. And I feel like our audience now is just, agree. Like this was our funniest record to date. Nope. Our funniest summer to date.
And I feel like our audience now is just like loving it.
Maybe our audience has changed.
I mean, it's constantly changing.
People come in, out.
Depends on the season of your life.
You know, sometimes you need us.
Sometimes you don't.
Right.
But that feels great.
I feel good.
And the summer is coming to an end.
And this is kind of us commemorating that.
Yeah. Our funniest summer yet. What do you think is in store for us for the fall I'm hoping for you know vibes
cultivated lots of chili lots of good books lots of good tv to recap um and stunning looks from
both of us that's what I'm hoping for I love that I'm looking forward to um not to be toxic but going on a diet that's fine yeah I'm actually not looking forward to it every
time I've tried to eat healthy recently I've been feeling like so queasy but I don't think that what
you should say is that you're looking forward to going on a diet you're looking forward to getting
back in shape sure sure you're not looking forward to like what you're actually going to be eating you're looking forward to how you're
going to feel having you know my body be my own again and then doing what I want to do because
I'm finishing up breastfeeding this week and nursing which is so bittersweet but then I can
you know get back to and I'm looking forward to getting into some of my clothes again like I'm
wearing some clothes today not everything is zipped I'm looking forward to getting into some of my clothes again. Like I'm wearing some clothes today. Not everything is zipped.
I'm not going to lie.
That's the beauty of podcasting from the waist up.
So your pants really don't need to be buttoned.
Yeah.
So I.
So every job has benefits.
You know, some people get health care, vision care, dental care.
We don't have to button our pants.
And I feel like put that in your copay.
What's the phrase? Like put that in your copay. What's the phrase?
Like put that in your hat and your pipe and smoke it.
Put that on your copay and smoke it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that's the state of the toast.
We're feeling really good about it.
And should we continue to do some more toast?
Yes, we're fast five.
Any other updates from you in your life since yesterday?
No, yesterday was just so busy for me working
getting ready for my trip um i have nothing like unique or funny to add okay great so without
further ado to do here where are you where the fuck are the strice brothers i don't know where
bryce is bryce is done with the show he's walked walked off set. He's on strike. I don't know
what he's looking for better conditions like he wants a juicier blanket in here. So now that he's
gone I think like we can have an open and honest conversation about how I felt like his presence
here was extremely toxic like between the barking the scratching at the door like he doesn't
understand we're recording a premium audio experience. He never did that. He would sleep
right here like a precious angel.
He's literally done it multiple times.
He barked once.
Multiple times.
Because he's a living, breathing dog.
Multiple times.
I think in general, Bryce adds more value to the show than he takes away.
But he doesn't want to do it anymore.
I mean, maybe he's just taking our advice and he's oh, oh, oh.
Listening to his body.
He's oh, oh, oh.
He can't be
reached via email fuck off fuck off okay so mr strice brothers hopefully they come back one day
and now it's time for the best maybe maybe we're the toxic ones like maybe we have a toxic work
environment that's why all of our employees are leaving first bryce then strice huh is buzzfeed
about to write an article about our toxic work environment these dogs released a statement from
like you know the two founders and like they're gonna leak our slack messages to bryce and strice
like get your ass up and work and mine are gonna be like really kind of bestiality focused and then
i'm gonna be painted as like they'll make it they'll make a highlight clip of every hump day thing every time you said that you
were going to hump Theo and then side by side with like some direct messages I sent to Theo on like
my work server like hey because I literally I'm like hey sexy that's what I say to Theo I'm like
you want to get your sexy little ass over here oh my god well that actually has something to do with
one of our stories today so oh best bestiality. Inappropriate workplace conduct. Oh, okay. So without further ado, it is time for
the past five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning
toast. And today's episode is brought to you by McDonald's. Here at the Morning Toast, it is no
secret that we are obsessed with McDonald's. After a long day of podcast, podcast, podcast,
meetings, meetings, meetings, is there anything better than a McDonald's fountain diet Coke,
a large crispy French fry, and their iconic chicken sandwich? No. How do you take your
McDonald's chicken sandwich? You do the standard, the spicy, the deluxe. You add pickles. You remove
the pickles. You add sauce. You add ketchup. What do you do? For me, I know like everyone thinks
I'm a freak. I just like bun chicken ketchup because I'm a three-year-old.
But however you like it, it's more personal than comedy.
And there's no wrong way to create your own chicken sandwich from McDonald's.
You can order ahead on the McDonald's app.
Try the sandwich that invented the crispy, juicy tender today.
At participating McDonald's, the app download and registration is required.
And today's episode is also brought to you by Clinique.

Our first story, Leonardo DiCaprio and Camila Morrone breakup after four years.
Their hearts will go on.
Leo and Camila have called it quits after four years together, according to People.
Sources confirm the split to the outlet, but a reason for the reported breakup was not given.
It is worth noting that Camilla recently turned 25
and Leo has not dated someone over 25,
I think, in his whole life.
So the reason for the breakup was her recent birthday.
That's like what the memesters are saying.
She's aged out of the program.
She's aged out of the program.
He's not interested in women with fully formed frontal lobes.
So she had to go. um well she lasted a long
time let's they started dating when she was 21 yeah i really thought that this was it for them
and i didn't you didn't no i mean i really it's right there plain as day that someone like put
together a graphic of how he ages you you know, trending in a line upwards.
And all of his girlfriends from Giselle,
Bar Raffaelli, Tony.
Blake Lively.
Blake, every single one he never goes over 25 with.
That's like, there's been a few that hit that number.
It's so fucking weird.
Like, honestly.
And I just can't believe that like,
he would actually break,
like he should have waited till she was 26,
like just to shut people up. But maybe he really can't stand a 25 year old woman. I think part of the
reason why people might be shocked by this was because they were together for so long. I don't
think he ever dated any of those girls for as long or started dating them as young. So I think
a lot of people thought that this might be you know it for Leo um it's not
how old is Leo now Leo is 40 um I think he's 42 but let me just confirm that that is unique
yeah let me confirm also have you been seeing these rumors that he's dating Gigi? He's 47.
He's 47.
Oh, my God.
No, I haven't seen the rumors that he's dating Gigi.
How old is Gigi?
Gigi's older than 25.
She might even be, like, close to 30.
I feel like she's my age.
She's 27.
Oh, my God.
She's younger than me.
Like, just kill me now.
How old are you?
You're 28. Stop.
Are you really?
Stop.
Oh stop.
Like seriously shut up.
I didn't say anything.
Shut the fuck up.
I didn't say anything.
Stop.
Am I 28?
Yeah.
There's no getting around that.
I have not seen the rumors that he's dating Gigi.
And while I would ship, it's still fucking weird.
Like 20 years.
Get a life.
Like there are beautiful, sexy women who you actually might have something in common with
who are in their 30s I'm not even
saying you have to date someone in their 40s 30s yeah a 35 year old like come on it's it's weird
and now I'm like in the camp of he won't date a woman over 25 doesn't want a fully formed
female companion but you know I feel like I think Camille Marone is like so everything of the sort
I feel like this relationship was like so good for her career she's like you know I think she
is the face of Chanel she gets really premium acting roles I believe she's gonna be in Daisy
Jones right she's playing Camilla in Daisy Jones who was Camilla she so you know how Daisy like there's a
lead singer of the band that Daisy joins the six I think his name is like Billy or something
anyways yeah Billy's wife is right I remember I remember yeah um I love that and I think like
she's great and I look forward to seeing what she does next. But I'm glad we're all having this conversation.
Because, you know, we'd love to talk about it with, like, Scott Disick.
And for a while, Leo, like, goes under the radar.
And it was just, like, a thing people know but never really spoke about.
How fucking weird it is and borderline unethical.
But now we've said it.
But now we've said it.
And I guess the difference is, like, at least he has these long-term relationships.
Which is something. As opposed to Scott, who's like in cycling through 18 year olds.
He never even gets.
In a way.
He never gets to 23, 24 or 25.
Jackie, in a way, it's worse.
Explain.
Because the long term nature of the relationships like give like grooming vibes.
Right.
The grooming. Yeah. Right? The grooming.
Yeah.
It's just weird.
Like I would love to see him date someone slightly older.
I'm not unreasonable.
You don't need to date someone 75.
Like 35.
At this point, the bar is just 26.
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
Like that's weird.
I do forget that there was a time when Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio were dating.
I was looking at.
And that was a while ago.
So he was probably like 37.
No, I think it was more than that.
He was younger than that.
But.
Oh.
But so was she.
Even Giselle.
Right.
And they dated for like more than five years, I think.
And then Bar Raffaeaella like every girlfriend that
he's had has been like that's his long-term partner but there's been like six of them
yeah and like what is he gonna do is he gonna do the george cluny thing who was also like
doing long-term relationships but never settling down and then literally we all blinked and he's
married with twins in italy probably yeah do you think he's gonna go twins in Italy? Probably. Yeah. Do you think he's going to go like, you know,
the lawyer businesswoman route, Leo?
Or like an actress?
I think like an environmentalist.
Totally.
Maybe.
I was just going to make the most disgusting joke
and I will not make it.
I'll tell you after.
It's so funny.
Oh, can't wait.
Yeah.
That's funny.
Should I say it? Yeah yeah we can always cut it
out he's gonna date an environmentalist maybe he'll wait till that girl greta is 18
that's a good because she's so young like i know that's like inappropriate but it was like a funny
joke that's really funny and not entirely not out of the realm of possibility not out of the realm
right because what is she now 16
i could see in like five years leo dating her but the thing about greta is that she is principled
and i don't think she would fall for it i don't think so either but it's leo like
he would like try and hit on her and she would be like how dare you
are we gonna have to cut this out?
Like, is this really inappropriate?
I don't think so.
How dare you?
I love that bitch.
Like, she is so fucking, like, she's not even doing it for,
she's not even doing it to be funny, but, like, she's so fucking funny.
Well, she's also a changemaker, but she's also, like, unintentionally a comedian.
How dare you that was iconic literally iconic so funny so we'll keep our eye out for that but honestly stranger things have happened right right like what movie was i recently watching where they had like a greta
gerwig girl younger you know but grunhoff yeah that was funny episode yeah are you ready for
our next story yeah younger yeah yeah so funny Are you ready for our next story? Mm-hmm.
The chickens might be coming home to roost for Dan Schneider.
Oh, my God.
I'm like, we're talking about chickens?
Like a farm? The chickens are coming to roost on this Indiana farm.
I literally thought that's what you were going to say.
No.
Yes, I saw this.
Dan Schneider is the subject of a new um report from insider saying that
nickelodeon allowed sexualized victoria scene with daniella monet despite her complaints
as network stars claim producer dan schneider pushed for inappropriate content so there's an
insider article that just came out about some of dan schneider's more inappropriate practices while
he was at the helm at nickelodeon the article article is behind a paywall, but Daily Mail has a summary.
Former Nickelodeon stars are speaking out against the prolific creator and producer Dan Schneider
for allegedly forcing the young actors into, quote, sexualized scenes. In a new report for
Insider, the victorious actresses, Daniela Monet, claim that a scene that she was uncomfortable with
was left in the final cut
of an episode
despite her objections
to the network.
Although she doesn't
solely blame Schneider,
who was the creative,
executive producer,
and writer on Victorious,
she also blamed Nickelodeon
for allowing sexualized scenes
to appear in its live action shows
and for inappropriate behavior
to occur on set.
100%.
The actress described
reaching out to the network
after she was forced
to film a scene
in which she applied lip gloss while eating a pickle,
which she worried was too sexual to be broadcast
on the kids-centric network.
But Nickelodeon executives apparently sided with Dan Schneider
and the creative team over Daniela Monet,
and the scene was included in the episode.
She added that not only did the executives okay the scene,
but its standards and practices division
would have had to sign off on it as well.
She attributed some of the overly sexual content to the mostly male writers on the show she said that although
victorius was usually a very pc funny silly friendly chill place the occasional over sexually
overly sexual scene could puncture the warm atmosphere she said do i wish certain things
like didn't have to be so sexual sexualized yeah a A hundred percent. Insiders expose.
Notes that some of.
That quote.
None of Dan Schneider shows.
Credited more than two female writers. In the entirety of their runs.
While Zoe 101.
And Drake and Josh.
Had zero.
It also references.
A scene that Jamie Lynn Spears.
Filmed for her series.
Zoe 101.
Which Schneider created.
Executive produced.
Co-wrote.
And even had a guest appearance on.
In which she had goo.
Quote.
Roughly.
The consistency. Of an egg white. Splattered onto her face. Her co-starote and even had a guest appearance on, in which she had goo, quote, roughly the consistency of an egg white,
splattered onto her face.
Her co-star, Alexa Nicholas,
who we know she's been very outspoken about her time on.
No, not Quinn.
Nicole?
No.
The girl who was in the first season
and then never again,
she was Zoe's best friend.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
She recalled that Dan wasn't satisfied with that take
and made a crew
member squirt her in the face multiple times after jamie lynn caught the goo on her forehead during
one take at which point it started to dribble down to her face and into her mouth which led
crew members and spears's even her mother erupted to giggles she recalled one of her male co-stars
saying it's like a cum shot before noting that the most sexualized take was the one selected for the episode the article goes on and on with instances like this um and
also references Jeanette's book where she talks about the creator she never references Dan by name
and talks about how he pressured her into drinking alcohol at a young age and gave her some massages
that she didn't want so I feel like it's pretty much been an open secret.
For many many years.
That Dan Schneider.
Was extremely nefarious.
During the height of his time.
On those Nickelodeon shows.
It's important to know.
Like Dan Schneider is so rich.
And so litigious.
That I think it's really stopped.
This story from becoming like a major. Major story for that reason. and so litigious that I think it's really stopped this story
from becoming like a major, major story for that reason.
And what was I going to say?
Hold on.
It was important.
Oh, and so while none of this is a surprise,
I do feel like a huge part of the conversation that needs to be had
is like for abuse like this to go on for so long without real repercussions, like so many other people
are also responsible, including Dan Schneider, but not limited to literally everyone, every
executive at Paramount who let this behavior just slide, who didn't take extreme precautions in a television show for kids by kids
like the way that even when it came to a head a couple of years ago and they very quietly just
not even fired like let him retire the way that like everyone at this network has time after time
protected Dan Schneider is so fucked up.
It's so unethical.
And then it also makes you think like, why?
Yeah.
Not to be like a conspiracy girl, but why?
No.
And who else is involved?
Involved.
Why wouldn't, you know, the executives of a kid's television network not have the kids
well-being and safety their number one priority.
No network wants a scandal, let alone a network that hires mostly children.
Yeah.
Oh, it just makes me so fucking sick the way kids are treated.
I know.
And how there's never any justice in all of these places that are supposed to be like
kid-friendly institutions.
Or havens for kids or literally intended to protect kids i was just
reading this book before we were yours and it's from a while ago what happened but it was
egregious abuse in these orphanages of children children who were kidnapped from loving parents
in some situations to be given to like and sold to richer parents but in the orphanages like
horrendous abuse.
Over 500 kids were probably murdered during their time there.
And just never, no record of them exists.
Like we see with like USA Gymnastics.
Right, right. These institutions that are supposed to be looking out for kids.
Like we see it with human trafficking.
Yeah, no, it's fucking terrible it's so terrible
like if you are someone who abuses or mistreats kids like you are the nastiest scum of the earth
and if you're someone who doesn't who does anything whatsoever to protect someone who would do that
and you are just as bad you are just as bad because kids can't can't
stand up for themselves they can't protect themselves they don't it's for the adults to
do it makes me fucking six to my stomach me too and i saw the craziest fucking thing on the internet
like i was shook what'd you see i saw a video of somebody sharing, you know, talking about pedophiles,
but preferring to refer to them as minor attracted persons.
I saw that too.
Maps?
Maps.
Maps.
Maps.
Yeah.
We're coming up with fancy phrases.
We, as a culture, we have lost it.
If we can't even call a pedophile what he is, a motherfucking pedophile.
Yeah.
You will never catch me with maps. We have lost it. If we can't even call a pedophile what he is, a motherfucking pedophile. Yeah.
You will never catch me with maps.
You're a pedophile in my book.
Not you.
You know what I mean?
If you're a map.
I couldn't believe that.
I'm like, oh my God.
Academia has taken over. It was so minor attracted persons.
People are not okay.
No, it's not okay.
It's so sick. And I'm glad this article came out but like when I saw it I was like a little like resentful almost I'm like now yeah
what about literally 15 years ago when I knew about it right we've like you said it's been
like NT's been telling us for years. Yeah.
And I feel like the things described in this article,
maybe because they're in scenes that you can see on television,
so the litigiousness, it's like, well, there it is.
Yes, he's extremely litigious. I feel like this is just the tip of the iceberg compared to, like, what we've heard.
Oh, beyond.
And I think that like so,
and this, I don't know this for sure,
but I think,
and especially from what I gathered
from Jeanette's book is like,
how you end up as a child actor
has so much to do with your parents.
And so a lot of parents,
I think it's split in the sense that like some of them are extremely protective of their child, are there with them all the way, are watching out for them every minute of every day.
And some parents want it so bad and they'll do anything for their kid to be famous and for their kid to start making money that they start blurring the lines of ethics.
And it's a thing where like these powerful people
like a Dan Schneider know that
and they take advantage of these vulnerable people.
Yeah.
It's just, it's fucking horrible.
And honestly, this article didn't even bring me
like a feeling of justice.
It just, I honestly felt resentful.
Yeah.
Like we're talking about it now when he's off the network.
It's, there's no stakes.
If they wanted to do some investigating, like let's find, let's look off the network it's it's there's no stakes if they wanted to
do some investigating like let's find let's look into the people who covered it up the the
executives who let him you know quietly retire are probably still working there right who probably
make literally seven figures right who so who if they didn't care to protect children 15 years ago
20 years ago what what's going on with the children now. Right.
Right.
And like, everyone's a pedophile.
What's that all about? Literally.
What is wrong with everyone?
I don't know.
Sick.
Sick.
Sick.
Well, switching gears to some light gossip,
which is our favorite kind.
Me too.
Like, so good. because there are rumors going around
that tom schwartz and raquel hooked up at sheena's wedding yeah and now katie maloney is quote
blaming sheena for this pairing so page six can exclusively reveal that katie is blaming sheena
from for tom schwartz's recent hookup with raquel levis quote raquel and schwartz 100%
hooked up
during Sheena's wedding,
a production source told Page Six,
acknowledging the catalyst
for the current Vanderpump Rules drama.
Quote, Katie is mad at Sheena
because she believes Sheena is responsible
for Raquel and Schwartz hooking up.
The source notes that Raquel and Schwartz
are both super easygoing
and can be a bit passive at times.
So who was going to make the first move,
the insider asks, adding Katie.
It's actually so true.
Adding Katie thinks Sheena's encouragement gave Raquel and Schwartz the green light to
explore a connection.
The source goes on to say that Katie is very annoyed over the situation and not because
her estranged husband is exploring other romantic connections in the wake of their divorce.
She's just annoyed because he decided to hook up with a girl in their circle of friends
and she's blaming Sheena.
Okay, so she's definitely like has every right to be annoyed
like that the first girl he hooks up with is like in the group.
I don't know if it's really fair to blame Sheena
and it's possible that Sheena was encouraging it
but Sheena didn't shove their heads together
and force them to start making out.
Like everyone was responsible for their own actions.
Yes, but now some things are kind of starting to piece together
because Katie wasn't at her wedding.
Was she invited?
Did she not go?
Is she really mad at Sheena?
Is this the first time Tom and Raquel have hooked up?
Like I love Katie Maloney and I don't want her to be in pain,
but I also kind of shit.
I think that they're a good match.
A hundred percent.
I do think that they're a good match.
I think that if they ended up together 100% I do think that they're a good match I think that if
they ended up together they would be extremely happy together but that doesn't change that they
have to be respectful honestly like this was a marriage it wasn't a breakup of a boyfriend
girlfriend it was a marriage we're not messing around and that must be really tough and now it's
like with the show it's one thing for Tom to move on and bring a new girl into the group and that but like to just adds a layer to be in the same group and it's just a lot and I imagine James cares
probably yeah because him and James are girlfriends I imagine for Katie like this must be so emotionally
taxing yeah to be on a reality show to be going through a divorce your man has a new girl all of
these things are already taxing.
And then it's someone that you like are very close.
Not your best friend.
But like someone that you're close with.
But she's in your circle.
And she's younger.
And she's new.
Like it can't feel good.
And you see her like every day.
And your friends are friends with her.
Like oh my god.
It can't feel good.
No.
But I do think it's a good match.
Yeah I agree.
100%.
And not to be one of these people,
because I literally hate these people,
but it does sound like it'll be a good season.
I will reserve judgment until I say something,
but I am so, and I know this is going to make some people unhappy,
I am so over Bravo as a whole we've say this like
every day at this point no I always say like certain franchises like generally like I used
to literally turn on the tv my channel is 18 and like my fingers would just go to 18 like it was
ingrained I've been watching the show since I was literally in the 10th grade like it's a part of
who it's a part of my personality it's part of my personality. It's part of who I am. When I say like when I see news stories about the housewives or any I can't fucking stand
these people.
I I think it's like now I think now I kind of look at it as how like other people like
used to look down on us for like being obsessed, like people who are obsessed.
I'm like, get a life like and I know that's like beyond hypocritical because that literally
was me up until and maybe I'm just going through like a negative phase where like everything is pissing me off.
OK.
But especially the fans like the people who engage in Bravo.
I want nothing to do with them.
Like I don't want to have anything in common with them.
I think they're mentally ill.
I want no association with them.
I think they're really like embarrassing and tarnishing to Bravo's brand.
Yeah.
I think it's a lot of things that are happening at once.
One, the fans.
I think Bravo is also like always,
well, we talk about all the time
how like Bravo really has no scruples.
There's really no rhyme or reason
behind like one decision that they make versus another.
And there's no consistency.
But I think also having not had to watch these shows
for the last few weeks,
because I was moving.
And so you were able to just like get your life back
and then have a bit of perspective and be like okay when I'm not watching Beverly
Hills every single week like it literally doesn't affect my life whatsoever yet I see all these news
stories about like Lisa Rinna said on Instagram and then she likes someone's post and it's like
sorry I feel like I want to like make my statement about Bravo and not include the Real Housewives
of Beverly Hills because I still feel like it's really good. Okay well it could be about any franchise where it's like it's news that someone
like leaves a comment it's like when there are there have been over a hundred housewives never
forget Peggy Sulhanian was the hundredth. Who could? And that was so many years ago and when
every single one of them like every small social media thing like becomes news it's unbelievably
fatiguing.
For sure.
And there are all of these huge moments where we're supposed to be so excited
and amped up like girls trip, you know,
Annie's baby shower, Teresa's wedding.
It's like, there's still so many of them
that it's hard to get excited about one particular thing.
And it just, it falls flat more often than not.
I think that's part of growing up.
Yeah, I think so too. I think we're growing up growing up. Like these big moments. But I. Yeah I think so too.
I think we're growing up
at the same time
that the shows are in decline.
So.
There has to be
some sort of parallel.
Yeah there's a parallel.
I believe.
But anyways.
And I do feel that way
about Vanderpump Rules
which is why
this storyline actually.
Yes.
Sounds interesting.
Is helpful.
Yeah.
To the show.
100%.
Are you ready
for our next story? sorry speaking of bravo
carla and lindsey are engaged oh is that the story yeah i'm happy for them happy for you for you
know that i i can't sing with you like it's because i'm too good? No, I just stick my head. Even if I can't understand, I'll take the pain.
You take the truth.
Me and my heart will make it through.
Oh, are you done singing?
I am because I ran out of lyrics and I want to talk about this story
because I just realized
something.
Remember we did that episode on Patreon, which everyone should listen to like things that
people do that give you the ick on social media.
One of mine is when someone like posts a picture of their engagement ring and says he did good.
I don't disagree.
I don't disagree.
That's true.
I mean, there's also a lot of ics around social media when it comes to engagements
because there are like these tropes like I did a thing I said yes like there's a lot of like
cliches that people use so it's hard to be original when it comes to like engagement content
on social media yeah it is but live your life and if he did do good like who cares what I think
but yeah totally like you're
happy right like that doesn't mean you can't say anymore it's just something that I'm just like a
negative wench and wench is gonna wench you know and she's gonna wench well Lindsay I just want to
say did not say that she said and she actually said something really sweet she told people
this is the most incredible thing I've ever laid eyes on except carl oh that's
sweet that's really she is like so obsessed with him so you'd love to see somebody out here like
getting their love requited do you know what i mean yeah is that the right way to phrase it it's
the end of summer which means that this will be on the show filmed and um this is i think the turn
that no one saw coming last season this is like a is like a plot twist. No, it's like last season's Summer House, he was dating Mackenzie.
Right.
This season's Summer House, he's engaged to Lindsay.
I'm curious if she is still being sober with him.
Because I actually think sobriety is really like a good thing for her.
Yeah.
She's just not a person who like, I think, handles alcohol well.
Yeah.
Plus, I think.
I imagine that she is probably still sober, especially if he is. Yeah. Plus I think. I imagine that she is probably still sober,
especially if he is.
Yeah.
And I like that.
I think actually if she remains sober on Summer House
when we watch it this season,
I think people,
it might warm her up to a lot of people.
Yeah.
Myself included.
Yeah.
I think she's,
I'm really happy for her though.
I think this is nice.
I think it's nice too.
Happy for them.
Sorry that their news had to wait till Wednesday.
Yeah, it was just like a busy week, you know?
Yeah.
And now are you ready for our fifth and final story?
The final story.
Hold on a minute.
Let's try that again.
I have my equipment.
Oh.
The final story.

to stop you from your art thank you so much literally never i value my life i appreciate
that i value my I appreciate that
as you should life is important it's so valuable our fifth and final story is a little it's very
fifth and final story e it is what is the most streamed song of summer 2022 what's the song
this summer y'all Spotify's got the data let me think let me think I love Spotify and their data
like I'm so appreciative yes and personally I never really have. I wouldn't I wouldn't have guessed these, honestly.
OK, so is it like international, like a Latin song, like a Rosalia or a Bad Bunny?
No. OK, because only then I'm not like super well versed in that type of music.
So I would like not be able to guess the top ones.
Okay.
So it's like, oh shit.
Okay.
Is it Lizzo?
Yes.
About Damn Time?
Yes.
Wow.
Look at me.
How many are there?
There's three.
Top three that depending on like global versus US.
So that's one of the top three.
Got it.
Wow.
Good for Lizzo.
Let me think.
What else popped off this summer?
And honestly, a lot of it I think has to do with TikTok.
I don't know.
What are the other two?
As It Was by Harry Styles.
I'm so happy for him.
And Kate Bush, Running Up That Hill.
If I only could, I'd make a deal with God.
And I'd get him to swap our places.
I'm running up that road.
Running up that hill.
Okay, let me tell you.
Can you Google when that song came out?
I'm pretty sure it came out 10 years ago.
1985.
And it had a resurgence because of a pivotal scene from Stranger Things.
That's where it first got legs.
Well, then it was on TikTok.
Yeah, so it is amongst the top three songs is kate
bush alive i think so and is she related to george or jenna
bush or billy or billy she's alive well that so exciting. Like what a journey to like have a hit song
and then literally 40 years later, 4-0, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
To have it research.
Be the song of the summer.
I didn't even know.
Now when I saw that, I was like, oh, I feel like I,
maybe I've seen that on reels a few times,
but I didn't even know it was having such a big moment
because I don't listen to the radio.
Right.
I just like keep
listening to you ain't nothing i wonder if they've been i wonder if they've been replaying it on the
radio have they i don't know if you listen to tiktok radio on sirius xm oh yeah which is all
the tiktok hits i gotta get serious i gotta start listening to you do it's pretty good station
well i don't have a car so so. Yeah. Rub it in.
The privilege is showing.
I'm surprised Elvis wasn't there or Doja Cat.
Elvis X Doja Cat.
Or just Doja Cat period.
It's always the summer of Doja.
Thuma, Thuma, Thuma, Thuma.
Let me be your Thuma.
Thuma, Thuma, Thuma. Let me be your Thuma. Will you let me be your Thuma, Thuma, Thuma, let me be your Thuma. Thuma, Thuma, Thuma, let me be your Thuma.
Will you let me be your Thuma?
You are my one and only Thuma.
What was your song of the summer?
That is a great question.
Let me look.
Yeah, let me look for mine too.
In my Spotify.
But see, for me, like, Song of the Summer doesn't really have anything to do with.
No, but what song did you listen to on repeat this summer that like when you listen to it
in a few years, it will remind you of summer 2022?
Oh, my God.
No pressure.
Okay, honestly.
No presh.
This is like so random.
Should I play it or will we get copyrighted?
What's the song?
I don't want it.
I want it to play it.
That just means we won't be able to monetize the episode,
but I think it's worth it
for a great bop.
I want you to reach out.
Sagala,
Came Here for Love,
with Ella Iyer.
So fucking good.
Reminds me of Platinum Jubilee.
Okay, so that's literally why I'm like,
I obviously know this song, but I need to know it better.
When was Platinum Jubilee?
Like June, right?
Best day of my life, June.
Yeah, so I've literally been listening to it all summer
and now I went down a Sagala rabbit hole.
You didn't know that song before?
No.
Did you listen to what I said literally two seconds ago?
I said, obviously I knew it.
No, once you say Platinum Jubilee, I'm somewhere else.
I said, obviously I knew it, but like, I don't think I ever really, like I knew it from going
to the clubs and the radio, but I never really sat down and listened to it.
So then that sent me on a Sigala journey.
Oh, won't you sing me your sweet lullaby?
The sound of a song is a sweet melody you know that one yeah like I've just
become a Sagala girl you gotta go down an Ella Iyer journey and now I'm just a Sagali you gotta
now do Ella Iyer fantastic okay well I'm in the process of cultivating a playlist for my trip
this weekend um and I have like my playlist that I always play when I'm with Brian and John and it's kind of like
like iconic gay anthems with a couple of personal touches Doubt by Mary J Blige a lot of Celine Dion
but I wanted it because we're gonna be on the boat and like at the beach like it needs to be
so I added like 25 like Sagala type songs like really good like dance music and I feel like I'm
working with like the most incredible playlist like I feel really good about where I am that's
so exciting I'm really happy for you thank you what is your song
of the summer I think my song of the summer is middle of somewhere by Luke Holmes I just listen
to it over and over sing it over and over listen in the car it's really coming for Harry and it's
also it's also about like living in the middle of somewhere and how it's like you know your
little piece of home yeah no it's like
everywhere to you yeah and I feel like that's you know me moving to the suburbs I'm in the middle of
very appropriate out in the middle of somewhere yeah um that's a great song also you know what
song I just got really into I know I'm probably behind but 10 things I hate about you by um Leah Kate I know stop I know but
you want to know how I found it and I now I can't stop associating the song with this I I I hate
that song what you like I love it I love this like by the way and I'm saying this to you privately
but I love this like genre of like poppy songs that's going really viral on
TikTok that are like really corny pop songs that like a b c d e f u and your mom and your sister
and your job and your broke ass yeah that you think and what I would have given back when I
listened to popular music for like those songs to be like those are songs that I would listen to and like they were never on the radio oh I have a complete opposite
reaction to like this corny pop genre that's coming from tiktok you're selfish I hate oh my
god but when we were maybe we were driving and you started playing all these songs and I was like
this is what's popular these days like I would have loved it's like radio Disney stuff oh for sure but what
when I was playing that and I'll tell you what song it was that's not like the same vibe that
was Kate's Brother by Maisie Peters okay to me that's the same vibe as 10 years selfish no I
I have like a physical reaction so good okay and let me tell you how I found the song and now I
associate it you're literally a grandmother like it's beyond just wait till you hear how I found the song
so Madison LaCroix reposted a fan reel by the way everything in the world comes back to Madison

Dear Jackson Claude, I'm going to get right to it.
My husband and I have been together for over five years, married for one year, and we just welcomed a baby boy over the summer.
He's a precious gem of a man, he's amazingly supportive, and he's a loving father.
But I write to you both because his teeth.
He used to love drinking Monster Energy drinks, and I finally got him to switch to black coffee just to be a little healthier, but now his front two teeth are constantly stained.
They're noticeably stained, and I've brought it up to him before when we're both brushing
our teeth, but sometimes if we're just having a quarrel, my go-to line will be, well, your
teeth are yellow.
It just comes out somehow.
I don't mean to be mean, but it truly bothers me and I just don't know what to do.
He gets defensive and thinks it's not a big deal and that I'll take care of it, but he doesn't.
He has a beautiful smile and I just hate to see him not take care of his teeth.
He interacts with people all day and at work and I just know that they can see it too.
He can't seem to be bothered or care to keep using the whitening strips or brush more.
Any advice would be appreciated and I'll definitely follow up with you. I was going to say whitening
strips because I used to use them and I think they're fantastic. They don't work for everyone
and some people really don't like them but I do. Can I say one thing without like you know I don't
want to I don't want to I just want to ask you to be mindful of like your nagging because you were nagging him about the monster.
And so he did it.
He did what you wanted.
And now you're like nagging him about the teeth,
but the teeth are from the coffee.
It's like cut this man like a little bit of slack.
Like you're being like a little bit like of a nagging, naggy wife.
That's like really true.
Like he did what you wanted.
And now the problem he has now sorry it's your fucking fault also do
you ever feel like especially when you stare at the same face every day like with your husband like
he she's noticing it more than his co-workers 100 but also it's like would you notice that
i feel like i don't notice stuff like stain no i'm i'm like always intrigued in people's teeth
okay maybe you're a teeth person i don't know if I would even notice.
Some people like are obsessed with other people's skin.
I happen to like, I think the smile is the focal point of the face.
Like.
Yeah.
I get it.
And there's definitely things you could do.
I just want you to keep in mind to like not really like annoy him and piss him off because
then he'll never listen to you, you know?
Yeah.
But if you.
Part of being a wife to a man is learning how to communicate with them in this moronic way
so that they'll do what you want and also you're entering danger zone of naggy bitch wife you're
also part of being married is picking your battles yes and and i do think that this is a battle worth
having because you have to look at his teeth every day and they bother you. You have to, you know, do the, speak the right language,
but maybe just make him an appointment for a teeth whitening session.
I think it's only like one time and it'll clear it right up.
Or like make one for yourself and be like, do you want to come with me?
Like make it easy for him.
That's what you have to do with men.
Like you have to literally wipe their ass and drive them there.
And then maybe they'll do it.
Yeah, exactly.
So if you could do that dance, just get him there.
I don't think that it's not a worthy
journey I think like you should totally get it fixed and we're gonna help you do that but
please listen to what I said like because if then your husband just associates every time you like
say something as you like being annoying and bitching like then he'll never listen he'll
never listen and like once you lose them oh that's the worst once you lose their ear
And like once you lose them, that's the worst. Once you lose their ear.
Yeah, no.
Good luck to you.
Good luck getting it back.
And your child.
Yeah.
So like you have to really be extremely cautious in these scenarios.
Yeah.
You need to speak husband.
That should be a language on Babbel.
100%.
Like Rosetta Stone, call it up.
Like hook it up.
Yeah.
Like babe, babe.
Like I love your smile.
Okay. We're only going to do one more because it's a little long,
and it's, like, kind of...
Complex?
It's, like, no, it's not complex, but it's really good.
It's, like, pissing me the fuck off, okay?
Okay.
Dear Jackson Claude,
a few days ago, one of my best friends from high school,
I'm 28 years old,
called me with some random news.
She stated
that she had heard through the grapevine that my boyfriend of two years, Ben, lent money to his
longtime female friend to help her with a messy situation and financial predicament that she was
in. Me and Ben have had arguments and discussions about this particular female friend before.
I too have known her for many years and I've had my own encounters with her prior to ever even meeting Ben. I don't like her and I don't trust her. Plus they slept together
once a long time ago so it's just icky to me. However I've never asked him to stop being friends
with her because I believe in my heart that there is nothing nefarious going on between them.
Also she lives in California we've recently moved to Nashville so whatever. But when he came home I
confronted him and he
admitted that it was true I told him it wasn't the fact that he lent her money it was the fact
that I had to find out from someone else and he intentionally withheld this information from me
from for over a month I felt dumb and I felt betrayed he said he wanted to avoid upsetting me
and and avoid a fight it seems like a stupid excuse though we talked cried and eventually
worked through it because it's but it's been a few days, and I still
can't help feeling a small pit and just overall sadness.
It's the fact that he had so many opportunities to tell me and didn't.
I love Ben.
I know he loves me, and I don't think that this is worth ending a relationship over,
but I'm worried I will always be suspicious or let my mind wander.
I don't want this to make me insecure moving forward in our relationship.
What should I do? I want to be happy and move forward in my relationship
bitch you're a bigger woman than me because I think that this is breakup worthy yeah money
is very tricky because you're not married so you're obviously not entitled to like his financial history.
However, if that's the direction you're heading, then it sets a really bad precedent like for keeping financial information from you.
I do not like that.
And that's not to say that boyfriend and girlfriends need to be completely financially transparent with one another.
But like this is something you would tell someone. Yeah.
That, the fact that he
wasn't financially like transparent about such a big thing but also just not transparent in general
like even if it was something not to do with money but just if he had some sort of say he like went
to coffee with her and didn't tell you like yeah also the relationship that you're describing
between him and her it sounds like the only reason why you're okay with their relationship
is because she lives in California.
But like.
Right.
There shouldn't be someone like in the background of your relationship.
Who also like would go to your boyfriend for money.
And who your boyfriend would give it to.
It's potentially nefarious.
Yeah.
It's not good.
Money is fucking.
Money is like next level.
It's not like she's going to him for advice. Or a place to stay. Like money. I think it's not good. Money is fucking, money's like next level. It's not like she's going to him for advice or a place to stay.
Like money.
I think it's weird.
I do.
And is she always going to come back to this well?
Is this going to be the only time?
I think you have absolutely every right to be upset still.
It would piss me the fuck off.
And honestly, dare I say, I don't think you're mad enough.
Is she going to pay him back was it a
loan or a gift if he's giving out now he has to get involved he's giving out gifts why don't you
get a gift no but that shit just pisses me off because like you know girlfriends want to be you
know wine dying taking care of and it's like he's spending that money on some other girl who got
herself into a situation like it's not his problem it's not your problem I need to know if it was a
loan or a gift and I need to know the situation and i need to know the amount also i'm just fucking
curious right like what was the situation is it ransom like what is it like is she
in dire straits like is it a worthy cause or she's just you know wants to go buy another bag
and just like and and doesn't have or like she owes money to a book or
no she doesn't have money because she's like spends her money you know out in the clubs and
on purses and shoes right no I the vibe that I got was that literally um she owes money to a
bookie like a for gambling did she say gambling no no that's not what she said at all that was
just the vibe that I got what she had said helped her with a messy situation. So a messy situation is not being low on cash for rent.
Like messy situation is like someone's coming after you.
Lone shark vibes.
Yeah.
I think it's a bookie.
Honestly, like she bet on the Super Bowl and lost.
So he's also enabling.
And like the worst part is that other people knew and you didn't.
And you had to get a phone call where you looked stupid.
When a partner makes you look stupid now I'm upset
right so it's either that he didn't tell anyone and she didn't tell anyone oh no I'm sorry it's
either that he didn't tell anyone but like she ran around like saying oh so-and-so's boyfriend's
giving me money or he's telling other people and not you. Yeah. I hate to wrap this up,
but very exciting news is that my buccal chair
is in the elevator in this building.
So I have to go sign for the delivery.
I got to show them the certificate of insurance,
but I was going to wrap up anyway.
So I hate to just cut you off,
but I'm so excited for my buccal chair.
When I tell you I'm going to get a hemorrhoid
from this chair that I'm currently sitting in,
it's so fucking uncomfortable.
My tailbone is like not okay.
