Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Hump Day! It is Wednesday to all who celebrate. And speaking of a gal who seems to be celebrating Hump Day in a rather unique and special way, Hey Jax, how you durn? I'm durn good, yes. Thank you for noticing I am celebrating Hump Day with a sweatshirt that says, Happy Hump Day. But then the H is crossed out so it says dump day it's like very cool and

trendy it's like kind of disgusting no like it's so unlike you like duty day no like we're dumping boys oh but of course your mind like always goes to duty i'm human. She always has duty on the mind. And what's a fun fact. Must be duty on the brain. What's a fun fact about this sweater is one, it's from Revolve. So it's very cool. Very. So it's definitely not poop because Revolve, like the girls who wear Revolve don't poop.

Would never. And second thing is I actually bought it for you because I saw it when I was placing a Revolve order. I was like, oh my God, Humpty, that's so cute like that's so me and Claudia will be like my next gift to her but then I got it and I was like why not what if I just kept it what if I just kept it I always want to wear it but every time I notice it it's never Wednesday and finally everything lined up today I'm wearing the sweater and the fact that you noticed it like does make me feel RDH that I didn't give it to you. Let me tell you something.

Don't feel RDH because I live in Manhattan. And I really only have space for so many crewnecks. And if I'm going to reserve space for a crewneck, it's going to be from shopmorningtoast.com. So I wouldn't be too, too upset. Okay. I'm not too upset. I thank you for, you know, releasing my burden. But I'm glad that you like it. And I'm just celebrating hump day. It's you for, you know, releasing my burden, but I'm glad that

you like it. And I'm just celebrating hump day. It's so exciting that it's Wednesday. I love when it's an unexpected hump. Obviously this is a short work week because of labor day. And we are so grateful to the laborious nature of the week. So, um, I just love when a hump day sneaks up on you. It's like, I wasn't even ready for it. Oh, and not only is it hump day, but it's also the day that I see Lea Michele in Funny Girl. Well, that's a story this morning. So hold all your thoughts in. I'm very, very excited for you. It sounds like it's going to be amazing.

We'll get into it. I'm speechless. Like, I actually have not been this excited for something in so long. I was telling Ben last night, like, I think I'm going to cry. You're a part of something. Not only am I a part of something, but it's something that has, like, such deep meaning for me. Like, I'm literally, I am Rachel Berry. Like, I identified with her so much growing up as, like, the most annoying human being on the planet.

And I literally cannot wait. You're Fanny Brassenstrasse. Fanny Brassenstrasse. Doanny Brassenstrasse, Brassenstrasse. Do you think she's going to perform that? I heard that they're actually not performing the hits. They're not performing Brassenstrasse and they're not performing that other song, The Man. My Man.

For whatever my man is, I am his forevermore. What's the deal? Forever more What's the deal with that song? Is it from the movie and not the show? Yeah, it was never adapted for the stage and it is exclusively a movie song but it's so popular especially related to Lea Michele because it's one of the songs

she sang on Glee and it's like this iconic moment where everyone's just fucking fed up with Rachel. Like she's like, we've had enough of Rachel. She's trying out for, I think it's the play where her and Mercedes, like they cannot decide who to give the lead to. So they both do a final callback and they give it their all. And of course, Rachel sings My Man from Funny Girl. And it's so spectacular. Like, of course, they have no choice but to give the role to Rachel, even though Mercedes was just as qualified and was never getting the lead in anything, like just as for Mercedes. But the performance was so powerful.

And that's where Kurt Hummel says, right when she's done, like everyone's literally in tears. And Kurt is like, she may be difficult but boy can she sing yes and that's really just what people have now adapted from Rachel Berry on to Lea Michele like she may be difficult but boy can she sing okay hold all your thoughts it's our first story we have a lot of great stories today so I'm really looking forward to that and it's Wednesday which means it's Dear Toasters Day and we have an update from somebody who wrote in last week about her husband and his yellow teeth. We did tell her like she was being a little bit of like a naggy bitch wife

and her response is so funny and she was really receptive so I cannot, I love a Dear Toasters update and we have two other submissions from new girlies who are in need of our Fox Force 5 help so that'll be at the end of the show. Great.

I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm excited too. I love an update. Oh my man, I love him so. He'll never know. Like the fact, like my excitement for seeing Funny Girl was like 100 out of 10. And now that there's no My Man, and I knew there wasn't going to be, I thought maybe they were changing a lot of stuff with Leah, adding things things out I thought maybe they would add my man and now

my excitement's like a 50 out of 10 which is still really high but like I'm definitely disappointed maybe they'll hear the cries of the fans once again they keep trying to do things their own way and the fans are like stop it we know what's best for this program yeah maybe they won't add it for tonight but maybe down the line. Well, I guess I just have to see it again. And again and again. Even though you didn't do your researching, you didn't see it with Beanie

and you haven't watched the movie and you won't have anything to compare it to. Nothing. But that's the thing. Like for me, and I know this is like a problematic statement, but that's me. You're problematic, girly.

Like for me, the movie Funny Girl is Lea Michele problematic girly like for me the movie funny girl is leah michelle like i only know what the movie is because i was such a glee growing up i don't really and i know this is gonna sound crazy like i don't identify with barbara streisand like whatsoever to be honest like i don't even really like her like i know gays do not come for me like i am still very much an ally i'm just personally not a barbara girly like i really don't know anything about her. She's not my girl. So when I think of Funny Girl, the film, and I know it's like Barbara's role,

like I am a younger person who just thinks of it as Lea Michele's role. You probably wouldn't even like the movie if you watch it. For sure. That's why I haven't, by the way. I don't even know what the movie's about. So like for me, the fact that moving forward, my one and only reference of funny girl will be the broadway version with leah michelle like i am okay with that that's enough for you

diane okay you've convinced me i'm like like so convincing these days yeah you're constantly convincing me but also it's like you didn't do your homework and you're telling the teacher all the reasons why and is the teacher ever like yeah you shouldn't have done your homework well you know what that's what teachers get for giving out homework homework is such bullshit conceptually like i if i ever become a teacher which honestly maybe i would i would never give homework for these campers like how do we expect the kids to uh go into school every day participate in activities have a social life spend time with their friends and family, get some time to relax and take care of their mental health

and also give them homework. Like it's just not, it's not feasible. I'm not into homework. Well, in defense of homework, if I may. You, by the way, I forgot. I thought of something. I know who you are. You're that kid in class who was like,

wait, where are we supposed to have a pop quiz today never never yeah no yeah that's you I'm not I wasn't I was not that kid in class I would never be that kid in class but now just like as a parent and as an adult like there are a few things about homework that which is why they exist first of all homework and activities and keeping the kids busy is important for the kids. Otherwise, the kids will get up to no good. But kids are so busy. Like, they have a lot going on. Extracurriculars, sports, tutoring.

Also, it's important for, like, your critical learning skills to learn something in the classroom and then go home and apply it by yourself and see if you're able to take what you learned and apply it. No, for sure.ually yes but I think like after years of us all going to school like we realized like shit we learned in school like didn't stick the the important things to knowing how to read like what knowing how to read but that's like a learning to ride a bicycle like you're doing if you're telling me you're learning to read in school and then you're using your learn your your ability to read every single day in school but not at home you're gonna forget how to read no but you get better at it you start with like picture books letter books then you go into like the cat in the hat type books then you go into the chapter books

and eventually like you're reading Jane Eyre. It's a stage progression of reading comprehension. No for sure. Okay so I went to school and I literally never read Jane Eyre. Okay you read other books. No I really didn't. I never read the required reading. Wuthering Heights don't know her. Dorian Gray don't know her. So what's your point? That I am a successful wonderful person who doesn't believe in homework. I think even knowing how to evade your homework is a skill. Oh my God. Knowing how to. You are such a little fucking rat. Like, no, Jackie, homework is not helpful.

Like, let's just leave it at that. You're literally that you're Miranda Cosgrove in school of rock with the demerits and the gold stars now I am but I wasn't when like I was in school no I don't think that's how you were as a student but now like that's who you are okay fine she's keeping everyone on track there's a reason why she's the manager you went home and like googled what a groupie is and you're gonna report Ned Schneebly to the principal played by Joan Cusack well it's inappropriate for the kids to be groupies for sure literal what is like the what is the kid version of a Karen like because you're not a Karen by any means but like Miranda Cosgrove was like a like a tattletale yeah a snitch snitch you're a motherfucking snitch bitch like no because I don't think I would tell the teacher that you didn't I

would actually never even adult me I would never tell the teacher that I didn't do your homework I just be the friend that be like Claude this is why we should do our homework homework is cool homework is fun and then I wouldn't be your friend like for real I'd be like that Jackie but I'm so cool and funny you can't resist me I would be like guys isn't that redheaded girl Jackie like so fucking annoying oh my god no that's you you're the annoying girl in class okay fine you're i'm the annoying girl you're the toxic girl fair fair we all have our strengths so i'm ready to dive in i don't have anything else to catch up on you has worldini has bryce right etc thank you for asking about bryce it was a rough night for bryce did you let's maybe we should talk about wait why was it a rough night because he woke up he was sleeping with mommy which he does now which is so gorgeous not every

night but most nights and I woke up to him throwing up and it was so it was so sad so I was like up at midnight cleaning up his throw up oh and then I just the whole night I was just so worried about him he seems to be okay today he's definitely taking it easy laying on heating pad letting his stomach settle but the thing is with our little angel dogs they have very sensitive stomachs and a lot of times they just throw up and it's not like indicative of any sort of illness they're just like felt like throwing up you know yeah also he is getting a lot of extra food recently since we started solids like he always gets to lick down the high chair um harry's always like dropping things for him and so he is eating more i'm not gonna say like he's been a perfect angel and i don't know why this is happening right now you know so i know i need to definitely keep a tighter leash on bryce i thought i was doing what was best for

him by letting him get in you know a little little bit here and there but no he needs regimen he's a regimented king. He is. So, He and I have that in common. That was sad for last night, and tiresome for me, but,

Yeah, that's the worst, like when you are sleeping, and you hear the, Oh my God. And their backs are like, Yeah, it was really,

really sad. Oh, poor Bryce. Well, I'm wishing him, I'm wishing him well, please send him my best. Thank you. That will mean a lot to him. I know it will. Oh, poor Bryce. Well, I'm wishing him well. Please send him my best. Thank you.

That will mean a lot to him. I know it will. I fucking love Bryce. He's such a- But not as much as I love Roldini. I miss- You sent me a video. It was really tough.

I get Roldini content on the hour. Whenever. It's on demand. I'm spoiled at this point. So for something to really take my breath away in the way not to be annoying because like nobody who's listening will ever be able to see this video and that's what makes me feel special um the way that you sent me a video of Harry riding on a golf cart with the wind in his hair like I I really like I was not okay I will not be okay good and good come visit and the way I am like minutes away from kidnapping

your child like he's to put it simply he's mine well why don't you just come down here like I'm looking at the flamingos not only is world missing you rice is missing you the flamingos are missing us we put up this gorgeous wallpaper for when we're together. And it's been a few weeks. And they're like, what the fuck? Bitch, I've literally spent three motherfucking weeks. You've been gone for what? Like six weeks? Mm-hmm.

OK, I've spent 50% of the time at your fucking house. And it's not enough. Bitch, come here. I'm trying. But you know I'm settling my September calendar. Oh, OK, come here. I'm trying, but you know I'm settling my September calendar. Oh, okay, Lady Mary. I have to look at my agenda. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You do that. You do that. And while you're looking, drop Roldini off at my house. For sure, but your wenchy energy. Yes, yes. I become wenchy when I have Roldini withdrawal. And I'm withdrawal from Roldini right now. And I'm pissed.

I am. And that video really ignited something in me. Stop it. Seriously. This was cute. You have a house. Come back. It's not funny.

Oh, wow. I didn't realize. It's not fucking funny. I know you're not happy. I know you're putting on a smile for the podcast and for the family chat. But I know you're not happy, so stop it and come back. Wow. The thing about Olivia is that Olivia is happy.

I see it. There's a sadness behind those eyes. Do you really think I'm not happy? No, but for the purposes of this sketch yes oh okay great no like I know you're happy but like not as happy as if Roldini was in my arms you know for that moment yes but overall you have to look at the big picture because let's be real like Roldini and I think this is probably with children in general like you cannot wait to get your hands on them. And then like your arms hurt after a couple minutes and like he's pulling your hair and it's like, can someone else take it?

Right. So like for us to move back so that you could play with him for four minutes. 30 seconds of pleasure. Yeah. It's not going to work. I agree. Got to look at the big picture. No lies were told.

I'm glad we can agree on something. Today we're feeling very, I'm feeling combative. You are. Arguing. You are. And I could yield to you, seeing that this is the energy that you're putting forth. But I will be standing my contrarian ground. Oh, you contrarian?

That'll be different for the pod. Let the games begin. Baby, let the games begin. Let the games begin. Baby, let the games begin. Let the games begin. She's also feeling musical. Well, it's the funny girl in me, which is a great segue into our first story. It is. So without further ado, here.

Where are you? Bruno needs his auntie. Do-do-do-do-do. Where is Bru? He's not feeling well. Do do do do do. Where is Thrice? Thrice he needs his mama. Do do do do do. Where is Dew? He never comes to work anymore you can't tell you why yeah um in our new like we have a very new schedule since going remote obviously you guys have noticed especially on youtube it takes us a little bit longer to get the episodes up so i'm physically in the studio like doing shit until past two o'clock and two o'clock is when Theo's walk is. So I don't want to disturb his walk.

So like it would, it would ruin his whole day, but like it's so annoying. So true. My new schedule doesn't work for Tiggs. This is problematic.

Lea Michele receives six standing ovations at her first performance of Funny Girl,

four before intermission, and two in the second act. Lea Michele received a standing ovation Tuesday night before she even said a word at her highly anticipated first performance in Broadway's Funny Girl. The actress made her triumphant return to the boards after a 13-year absence, stepping into the role of Fanny Bryce in the musical revival, now playing New York City's August Wilson Theatre. Cheering her on was an electric crowd of friends and fans alike,

from her best friend Jonathan Groff to their fellow Spring Awakening co-stars John Gallagher Jr. and Gideon Glick. Actor Zachary Quinto was also in attendance as was Tony winner Harvey Fierstein, New York Governor Kathy Hochul, and prolific producer Ryan Murphy from Glee and Scream Queens where he worked with Lea Michele. And wow it was star-studded. I only saw that Ryan Murphy and Jonathan Groff were there. Yeah, in fact, the crowd went so wild for Lea Michele, she received a total of four standing ovations before the end of act one, including one after the show's signature tune,

Don't Rain on My Parade. Another two followed in the show's second act. At intermission, the aisles were packed with audience members gushing about Michele's vocals, her comedic timing, and the all-around excitement in the house. Harvey Fierstein said, I haven't had a night like this in the theater in years wow yeah okay so I have so many thoughts the first is this is so appropriate because yesterday we

were literally talking about standing ovations and how like in certain circles they become like fucking meaningless like everyone just does it um and on Broadway I would say like 10 out of 10 times at the end of the show when everyone's bowing like every no matter the show like you're getting a standing ovation but to get a standing ovation multiple times in the middle of the show it's like kind of unheard of yeah and it's so spectacular and I'm so I mean none of this is surprising to me this was clearly the role that Leah was born to play we've all known this for so long people tried to ignore it but you know the universe is gonna do what the universe is gonna do and Leah was born to play. We've all known this for so long. People tried to ignore it. But you know the universe is going to do what the universe is going to do.

And it was meant to happen this way. I'm not surprised at all that the reviews are literally 10 out of 10. She was incredible. A lot of what you just read from that New York Post article. Like it's giving like old Hollywood. Like it's like. A night at the theater. This is what like New York needs. If Harry Styles was talking about this show.

He would said it just feels like a show at the theater this is what like new york needs if harry styles was talking about this show he would it just feels like a show at the theater like a real show where you go to the theater theater like a like a show yeah it feels like a show it's so exciting as someone obviously who has tickets and is going tonight and is so fucking excited um i'm happy for leah michelle i think she's had you know a rough couple of years professionally professionally yeah personally she's thriving she's married she had a baby um obviously we all know about her big scandal she took some time off I do think that's why she wasn't offered the role at first even though they keep you know saying that production you know assumed that she wasn't ready to get back to work

because she had recently had a baby. Leah is going along with that too. Two years ago. No, when they chose Beanie. Okay. Her baby is too. Leah is going along with that narrative as well. And she did.

She had a really tough pregnancy. She was on bed rest for her first trimester. So they're all kind of saying that as the reason because now that it's now that it's done and we see Leah like there's really even more questions as to why it wasn't her from the beginning do you think that's the truth though that she didn't get the role at first because no okay okay I think that though if she really turned it down because she was busy with new mom of life like that's so respectable but of course and totally understandable I like that's so respectable, but. Of course, and totally understandable.

I think that's a lie. For Leah, right. Like for Leah, the opportunity to reprise the role, be eligible for the Tony is something I think she might have struggled with, you know, the decision of whether or not to do it, like as it pertained to motherhood, but she would have done it. Like we know Leah is extremely ambitious, especially as it relates to this role. Right, okay. She would have done it like we know Leah is extremely ambitious especially as

it relates to this role right okay she would have done but I'm glad that they've come to some sort of you know party line about why she didn't get it at first and that they're all working together to pull the wool over our eyes but it's not working yeah no I mean it is sad that she won't be eligible for the Tony but I think like this critical acclaim, this like everyone fawning, like even people who dislike her admitting that she was incredible. Like I think honestly, in a lot of ways, that's just as good as a Tony,

especially for someone who's like been canceled and is now coming back. But she'll be eligible for a Tony at some point now for this. No, I do believe you're only eligible when you reprise the role. Like when the show first comes out, like the Lion King can't win a Tony right now really yeah I'm like almost 100% sure that's not right no I know which is why a lot of people like saw it as a slap in the face to Leah but you know what like everything happens the way that it's meant to happen this is definitely

her comeback and she's probably overjoyed I mean saw, I tried not to watch like any footage, but obviously somebody leaked Don't Rain on my parade. I did not watch it, but I did watch her bow at the end. And she was sobbing. Like this is an amalgamation of so many things. Like one, a comeback from a scandal is so hard. I think it's much harder for a woman usually. So there's that.

She's a mom now. So everything just like means more. This is the role 20 years in the making. Like it's extremely emotional for her. Yeah. Also, I didn't realize that the person who plays Fanny's mom is Tova Felcha. She just started the role too. I love her.

She's from, I know you never watched it, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. But apparently the crowd was going wild for both of them. Hooting and hollering. Hooting and hollering. So you'll see her tonight. I'm so excited. Like it's, and you know what? It's only the second night.

There is a matinee today. So it will be Leah's third show. I'm just, I don't think like a lot of celebs are going to be at the matinee. I'm like really curious who's gonna be at the show tonight yeah what are you gonna wear Andy Cohen what are you gonna wear I don't know I didn't get anything and like I should have I might go to like Zara today I need like a cute dress you do you need to wear a seam lie you need to pay respect to the theater you can't go there like wearing toast merch I'm sorry I mean I could because like it's literally

shop no I know but like that's a I think people especially tonight like I think everyone's gonna be glamorous yeah I'm gonna wear heels like it is raining but I am gonna wear like a nice outfit yeah oh I love that yeah I'm I'm I really can't say anything other than the fact that like I'm so excited and I'm also like happy for Lea Michele everyone deserves a second chance no matter who you are. Even though I was refreshing Twitter like during the show wanting to see what people were saying and there was like one reporter who was there. It was like third standing ovation, fourth standing. Like he was giving us and the way people are like so unforgiving of Lea Michele or just like people in general who they deem to have been like problematic. It's so sad. Like okay she was a wench she got literally so famous when

she was 16 and decided to make it everyone else's problem and I just think we need to have a little bit more grace honestly a hundred percent no people are just jealous and wenchy and they don't and like they're don't pay them any mind she's no I know I just was shocked that like that's still I mean it was Twitter which is like where miserable people go to, I know. I just was shocked that that's still, I mean, it was Twitter, which is where miserable people go to exist. But I just was shocked at the sheer volume of that many tweets with that narrative. Yeah. Yeah.

She's been severely humbled. Let's give her a chance. Totally. And it's clear that she's earned it. And she's doing great. She's the right woman for the job. So, you know, say what you want. But I don't remember this sort of fanfare for Beanie.

No. I don't remember the governor showing up. I just, I hope Beanie, wherever she is today, is doing okay. Yeah. Vogue followed Lea Michele around, I think, yesterday or the day before. And, like, photographed her and did, like, a little like a little interview and they were obviously like trying to get juicy and she is not she's not giving people Lea Michele she's not giving people anything as it pertains to Lea as I mean as it pertains to Beanie as it pertains to not getting the role at first as it pertained to

the reading literally I think that this I think that the reading okay i think i don't know why i'm sitting like this but i'm like getting really impassioned i think that like this whole thing leah michelle can't read is like the lowest form of comedy it's literally not funny she obviously can read she memorized an entire script for the show for glee for 10 years like it's so fucking stupid and people who keep making the jokes are genuinely people who are not funny and like it was funny what sorry like when we discovered that theory three years ago like it was kind of funny but we moved on because we're normal um and the people who created the theory those podcasters like they're funny but now it's like it's not funny anymore and I I think like it bothers me so much however I don't think anything

has ever been handled worse than Lea Michele has handled this thing because not only has she been asked about it like very few times, her answers are always terrible. And most recently, she said that she's like, people are only saying this because she's a woman. And the way I hate that fucking answer, sometimes it's true. Sometimes it's not. And people aren't like making fun of her, like because she's a woman. Yeah. I just, not that she needs to you know prove anything to anyone

but if this conspiracy theory really bothers her and I'm sure it really comes up for her now anytime there's like a Leah press yeah press conversation it's like why not just read for us and just show us you can read? What have you just read? I'm sure that's why Ben loves her. Oh, my God. That is why Ben is so excited, because she's also a woman who doesn't promote literacy. You know what? Like, it doesn't bother me that people still talk about it. I do still see some funny stuff about it.

And I just think she should read for us. Do a live reading. Because there's also, like, did you see that video of her at an award show where she announced the winner and she didn't read the card? Yeah, no, and did you also see, like, the memes going around?

You know she released a book, but it's like a journal. It's a journal where you have to read and write not her it's still funny i think and like i think she should do a live reading put it to bed of course she read scripts for glee and for funny girl but she also could have done like audio so Yeah, for sure. But like I've had enough. It's like not funny. It's like it's just one of those jokes. She doesn't let it die.

No, because she won't address it. Because she won't read for us. No, I think that she thinks it's so insulting that like to even dignify it with a response would be beneath her. And I get it. But she's making it worse. Yes. And she's continuing it. Yes.

Yes. it worse yes and she's continuing it yes yes but I do think it's really a innocuous conversation and I can sense that it bothers her but it's very moronic yeah neutral yeah okay are you ready for our next story yeah there seems to be major trouble in paradise between Tom Brady and Giselle. Okay. And they could be heading for divorce is what the papers are saying. The way I'm so shook by this, and I sent you this story last night because I wanted to talk about it today. And the way I found out about this story is the most psychotic thing ever.

Do you want to hear? Then? Zach Shapiro was like, I cannot believe Tom Brady and Giselle and I felt like a weird like a loser so I went on Twitter and googled it and that's when I found the page six article and I was like not Zach Shapiro breaking news to me I was on FaceTime with Olivia last night too and he started talking about Tom and Giselle I already knew it but I was like wow that traveled to you really quickly like because this is fresh news and it's also and he was like how did I not how did he not know about this I'm like because it's not confirmed

it's still the rumor mill but they're saying that there's they could be headed for divorce because Giselle's upset that he unretired at the time he retired to focus on family and his personal life and then you know backtracked to not focus on family not focus on his personal life and this is allegedly not working for Giselle she went to Costa Rica to take a break from him oh and now they're saying there's major marital tensions and they could be heading for a divorce I I know I'm like constantly in denial but I don't believe this yeah I mean is like, and I think why Zach Shapiro is so verklempt and like a lot of people are is because much like Karen Huger's marriage,

like this marriage is really an institution. It's like they've been together forever. And obviously in Hollywood, anything goes. But when two people have been together for so long, like you just kind of forget about them. Like they're set and they're solid. Like the possibility of them getting divorced never even crossed my mind

is something that could happen because they've just been together forever yeah also he unretired so many months ago so wouldn't that have been the time to take a break go to Costa Rica like now it's months and months later they haven't settled this or maybe it's because football season's about to start oh Sunday night and it's fresh and he's like practicing a lot. And she's like, stop. I don't know if I believe this. But I do kind of see how like as a wife, when your husband retires, like money's no object. Your husband retires to spend time with his family and then changes his mind six months later. That's kind of hurtful.

It's hurtful. So I don't know. While it does sound like unrealistic, the core reason for it is not crazy no not crazy at all I just given that they're such an institution there's such a team she's had his back like she's forever the most ride-or-die wife I think yeah in the industry that there's such a disconnect on this is very surprising yeah I mean I like when I saw the headline I couldn't even read. I'm like,

these words don't make sense. Yeah. I don't know if it's true, but I hope it's not. I hope it's not. They have a beautiful family. I just, I don't believe it.

I guess we'll have to see what happens on, Oh, Sunday night. We'll have to see. Oh, Sunday night. You know what. Oh, Sunday night. You know what I was thinking? Is that song on Spotify?

The NBC version? I'm going to guess no. It should be. Sometimes those theme songs are available to stream. But it is a real Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert song. Oh, Something Bad. Yeah. So you could get a version of it, but they're not singing about Sunday night. They're singing about Something Bad. Yeah so you could get a version of it but they're not singing

about Sunday night. They're singing about something bad. I don't think so because they also only have like a 30 second version of it. It's not like a three minute song. No when you watch the whole thing she's like running from room to room. There's all these like teams she's talking about. Like it's a real song But like the whole It's like a music video. Yeah. Two verses

two choruses and a bridge I don't know about the bridge but definitely two verses and two choruses. Well, you could you could do you could be like really janky. Rip it from YouTube. Put it in your iTunes and listen to it. Like back in the day. Yeah. Like download LimeWire.

Yeah. No, it's like now it's like YouTube MP3 converter. Yeah. Dot com. Dot com. Dot com. Yeah. We're pretty big into tech. can we say we're av girlies

anyways moving on from tom and giselle i just hope this this isn't true and even if it is true that they're able to get past it right marriages are tough i don't know if this is worth ending it over so maybe they're just going through a rough patch. Yeah. We've all been there. We've all been there. Are you ready for our next story? I really, truly, deeply, madly am. It is a twofer. Are you ready for a twofer? Mm-hmm.

Subset A and B. We're going to start with Kourtney's subset. Kourtney Kardashian is launching a new brand called Lemmy. So Kourtney posted on Instagram yesterday some sickening visuals of a new brand that she's launching called Lemmy. It's her sitting in a really cute pleating chair with a jersey that says Lemmy pink thigh high boots it was like very Kylie aesthetic energy and it said like something's coming you know subscribe for the notifications the brand's called Lemmy and then

L-M-M-E which is I think such a cute name I mean I don't know what the product is so I don't know if it's going to be a good name, but I think, like, it's a good word. It's, like, very topical. I like it. And it's Let Me Live. Right. And I think that's so her brand.

Like, I'm just living life. Let me live. Right, right. So it's going to be, like, Let Me Live, and it's making me think it's, like, products in which to live with. Yeah, so they haven't dropped what the actual company is. I'm so curious.

A lot of people are making horrible predictions. Like, she's sitting on a chair. It must be furniture. Like, no, it's literally just one photo. Like, we don't, like, there's probably nothing in the product that even, I mean, nothing in the photo that resembles a product. We have to remember who Courtney is. Yes, we do.

She is a wellness girly. She has poosh. Like, whatever she does has to work with poosh. And this is giving like Ollie vitamins, like gummies, supplements, matcha, powder, vital proteins. Okay. But if she was launching a line of consumer products in the wellness space, why wouldn't it just be poosh branded? Because that brand is strong in the wellness space. For sure sure maybe it's because she prefer to avoid being compared to goop because goop does goop supplements like I don't know I don't know if it's that on my prediction even though I don't think this is

what it is but if I have to guess I feel like it could be a line of like organic foods like I can see her doing that but from a business perspective like I don't know how that's gonna make her a billionaire you know yeah let me let me let me get some let me like but if it's like let me live then it's like live products for living products in which to live but then you also need to think about all the other Kardashian associated brands. Like, let me live. I was thinking like maybe it could be like home, but then there's like safely, you know?

Yeah. Maybe she would do like. But that doesn't stop them from crossing over. We had Kylie Cosmetics and KKW Beauty. Like, yes, but that's because the girls are makeup icons. Like, they're not cleanliness icons like if they both came out with a surface cleaner it would be fucking weird is kkw beauty ever coming back i don't know like what about the body foundations what are we

supposed to do without them i don't i'm running low i don't know and that's not right to get us hooked on a product and then i agree hooked on Hooked on phonics and then. Take it away. Phonics goes away. No. No information. No goodbyes. No telling us like where it was manufactured so I could buy, you know, the. What was that brand? That was the same as Kylie.

Same factor. Colourpop. Colourpop. The interesting thing about this is that, and I'm sure this was intentional, the way that they're like dropping hints and people are just like genuinely curious like it's such good marketing for the brand and it's driving me nuts. I also thought maybe it would be like sex positive like plastic free like vibrators because the logo on Instagram is like this like rubber like yeah material looks like silicone it's giving vibrator. Unless it's like silicone dishes and plates that are like non-toxic baking you know like caraway home vibes and I love my caraway I really don't know I feel

like that could be it non-toxic cookware and things in which to live and eat plates like how you know what babies have like the silicone no I get it yeah I I'm gonna stick with like collagen powders supplements gummies she's like you know herbal queen okay I'm sticking with my guess which is um not necessarily food but things to eat your food with that are non-toxic no that's a's a good idea, but I think mine's better. So far away. Far away. No, it would be caraway with a K.

Also, she's doing a collaboration with Boohoo, which was also announced yesterday to much less fanfare. Okay. The sustainability ambassador is Kourtney Kardashian. She's coming out with a sustainable line at Boohoo. While I commend Boohoo's efforts to be sustainable because they're one of those top five fast fashion companies that are literally destroying the planet, this feels so off-brand for Kourtney.

I was so shook. One, because she's so clean, conservation, environmental girly, and Boohoo is the worst of the worst. Yeah. And it just felt random. Yeah. Well, I mean, unless she's going to clean up their whole act,

in which case that seems like a really big endeavor. She's not. It's just like her line is going to be like a little less bad for the planet. It was kind of like giving fraudulent energy. Yeah. Especially when she has this big thing kicked off. Also, I want to mention that she has filed a trademark for the brand with the production of, quote, bags, purses, totes, wallets,

clutches, and clothing with additional categories, including games, toys, and sporting goods. Wait, what? So that doesn't necessarily tell us anything. Maybe she wants to cover every category, and it could be a subset of clothing like what if it's like you know merch could be like lingerie or it's like a cool brand that she makes up of like whatever vitamins and then they make merch yeah yeah yeah totally that is unique i hope we get answers soon. I know. I feel like it's going to be a while. Well,

if you want to get in your notifications on. LemmeLive.com. LemmeLive.com. Okay. I'm really, I like my guess. I feel like mine. Okay, good. Good. And then subset B of Kardashians launching new brands. Kim is launching a private equity firm, Skakai Partners, to help budding entrepreneurs. So Kim is expanding her ever-growing resume once more. The Skims founder is launching a new private equity firm alongside a former partner at Carlisle Group Inc., Jay Sammons, the Wall Street Journal, reported on Wednesday.

Now, Carlisle Group sounds familiar because they're the group that helps Scooter Braun buy Taylor's Masters. So that's just an interesting factoid. The firm is called Sky Partners, S-K-K-Y, K-K for Kim Kardashian. Not sure if you guys knew that. Thank you.

The firm will make investments in areas like consumer media and entertainment businesses, consumer products, luxury hospitality, and digital commerce and media, the outlet explained. According to a post from an Instagram account for the company, the firm will focus on both control and minority investments in high growth market leading consumer and media companies. Okay, like not to make this about us. I thought the same thing instantly.

We are ready to be invested into. Spread my legs. I'm ready. We're literally a consumer thing instantly. We are ready to be invested into. Spread my legs. I'm ready. We're literally a consumer media company. We're high growth. And I don't know what other consumer media companies that are big enough out there

that aren't already purchased. That aren't taking investments. Right. Like Barstool has got their investors. Yeah. I feel like we're, you know, the only free agent. We can be bought, Kim.

We can be bought. We can be bought. Just want to let you know, like, Skakai hasn't reached out to us. No, but you know what? But I have a feeling they're gonna. Me too. I do feel as though this business venture is, like, a great idea. I figured it was probably something Kim already did.

Like, she's always investing in stuff. I remember when she was, like, a co-owner of Lumiumi the phone cases that she helped make famous like she's been doing this on a small scale for so long I just figured she definitely had her own fund in some way but now that she's doing it as like a public facing thing which obviously makes sense because that's her superpower it's smart like genius yeah and she'll invest in brands that she promotes ensuring their success very very cool yeah I look forward to seeing what she invests in honestly they said they were going to like make an investment announcement by the end of the year oh yeah I mean that it's really like a win-win because not only are you getting an

investment for your company which is great but you're also now on this like global scale of being one of Kim Kardashian's brands that she believes in and it's just gonna even that it's like going on Shark Tank but it's honestly bigger. No, it reminds me of like Ashton Kutcher. Cause now we mostly know him a lot as an investor for Shark Tank and everything. But at the time it's like,

he'll invest in your brand. He'll give it the money that it needs. He'll gives it the legs and it's a whole machine. So I actually think that this is though surprising. Genius, not surprising. I'm ready for Kim on Shark Tank It's like enough already

No that's where we're headed with this I know Kim Kardashian of Skakai Ventures Joins the tank Right First pitch TNN Good morning sharks

We are looking for And one 600 And one sharkette We're No well there's other Sharkettes too, Jackie. Well, not on every episode, of course, because the men stay, but they rotate out the women. But there's usually at least one. There has to be one woman.

So there's never not Lori or Barbara. So it's two Sharkettes minimum, maybe three. Sharks and Sharkettes. Good morning, Sharks. And Sharkettes. We are seeking a $600 million investment for a 1% stake in our company, The Morning Toast, where we're literally geniuses and everything we do is perfection. And we don't really need to explain ourselves further

because if you don't know The Toast, you're an irrelevant ugly and a big-faced wench. Yeah, what she said. Thank you. Just watch an episode, give us a call, have a spritz, and we'll talk. Yeah. We have many revenue streams. We are extremely business savvy. As Lori would say, we're heroes, not zeros.

And we're just going to make you money and us money. And that's the dream, the American dream. And we are available for Beyond the Tank segments. I love the Beyond the Tank segments. I know. We will participate. Eagerly. So this is cool. we are available for beyond the tank segments i love the beyond the tank segments i know we will participate eagerly so this is cool i'm very curious what do you think about the carlisle group is it just a quinky dink i think it's a coincidence like people are like the carlisle group it's literally one of the biggest like uh what are they even like private wealth management

like private equity firm yeah like it's what it's like a blackstone it's Taylor Swift and Kim like they don't own it it's like one of the world's biggest funds of money so like if Kim is going to do something top tier she's going to go to Carlisle group same way Scooter Braun needed money he was top tier went to I don't think it has anything to do with each other everyone just keeps trying to make these moments happen between the two and like they're not going to happen so they're not going to happen. But it's possible that Kim and Scooter are both like they're in the same circles. Kanye used to work with Scooter. They're good friends. So maybe like she even knows about it just from her time with him.

Or like they're both just like really rich and really rich people go to the best place. And the best place is Carlisle. Perhaps. That's like two celebrities. That's like two celebrities eating at Craig's. Not because they both went, but because that's where two celebrities that's like two celebrities eating at craigs not because they both went but because that's where the good people eat do you think that this is the private equity man who chloe was seeing oh the thought literally never occurred to me, but the answer is a hundred percent. Yes.

But now I need to take a better look at him. Hold on. He's handsome. Now Kim is going into business with Chloe's ex then. Maybe it was amicable. Like if Kim was working with him and they started dating, Kim, this project has obviously been in the works for a while.

Like you don't just start a VC. So he was Kim's business partner first and then Chloe's man. So Chloe can't ask her to not work with him. Okay. Oh my God. He's so cute. By the way, like obsessed.

He kind of looks like Shango. He does kind of, he looks like businessman Shango. I'm obsessed. Should we follow, should TNN follow Sky Partners partners so we're on their radar oh done and also so i thought you were gonna say so we can get updates no so that like they're like looking for perspective how many followers does sky have

23 000 and let's see how many Lemmy has. Lemmy. Well, Sky has barely been launched. Same with Lemmy. No, but Kourtney posted about Lemmy. I saw on Liz Heitz's Instagram that Kim posted about Sky and then deleted it. Lemmy has 55. Because that's 24 hours of promotion,

whereas this, I don't know what happened with the launch, but Kim deleted her promotion of it. I don't think she was ready yeah she ready okay ready for our next story wow we're only on story four with all these subsets um but it's some gorgeous news because Guy Fieri's on the cover of People magazine talking about making family his first priority and his calling to give back the way I know nothing about Guy Fieri's personal life. He's a wife, kids, tell me. Which is why we need him on the toast and which is why he's a dream guest. Savara's like, nobody knows the real Guy.

We would get down to the nitty gritty. Guy like you've never seen him before. Hashtag, who's the real Guy Fieri? Let's get him on. 100%. So anyways, on the cover of this week's People, Guy Fieri's opening up about raising his sons to be self-sufficient, philanthropy,

and his new Food Network show, Guy's Ultimate Game Night. He says, quote, I think that I've definitely mellowed. He swathed head-to-toe black, wearing his favorite chain necklace embossed with a skull and the chef's hat, chunky silver rings, his trademark goatee, and a thick thistle of spiky bleach blonde hair, along with a mischievous smile that's daring someone to contradict him. He's so mischievous. He's mischievous. Oh really?

I needed a nap after having breakfast with you, says his publicist taking the bait. Anyways, the mayor of Flavortown is opening up saying, I still like to have fun, still stay busy. There are so many experiences to be had, so why not take advantage take advantage of it today Fieri is one of the most powerful food celebrities in the world anchoring six shows including his newest guy's ultimate game night while running 85 restaurants a production company his santo tequila business with his pal Sammy Hagar and his new knuckle sandwich by Espinosa Cigar Line. What in the what? Knuckle sandwich. I have to say I literally would take several bullets for Guy Fieri. However one of the worst meals I ever had was at one of his restaurants. He doesn't have good quality control.

I mean with 85 restaurants it can be hard. No I know. I know. Not every all of them can have a Guy stamp of approval. But at least I didn't have to pay a lot. It was reasonably priced. Now Bobby Flay, on the other hand, robbing people blind while also poisoning them. And stealing their recipe. He said knowing what's in them

and then just adding the ingredients that he thinks is missing. Ambushing people in their towns like off to a cook-off. So wrong. So wrong. In May 2021,

Guy signed a three-year contract with Food Network worth an estimated $80 million, making him the highest chef in highest paid chef in network history. He says, most of my friends will say I haven't changed. I think it's because when I got into television, I'd already done what I wanted to do. I wanted to be a great dad.

Oh, wait. The way that he's the highest paid chef on television, and literally, I've never once seen him cook anything. He's like more of a personality he goes to other people's diners he hosts guys grocery games like you know he's a professional eater yeah he's not really does he know how to cook that's a really great question it's a great question for sure i just won't talk anymore. I just won't.

I'm sorry. I won't ask great questions anymore. I'm so sorry. Anyways, if you want to know more about Guy, pick up this month's week. Sorry, it's weekly. People Magazine. Oh, I will.

And hope that one day he comes on the toast for a sit-down interview, Guy, like you've never seen him before. You know, yesterday we started a list of the people who can save Hollywood, and I've wanted to add two more people. Can you write this down? Because I think this is a list we should actually have written down.

We had Kiki Palmer, Kelly Clarkson, and Brendan Fraser. Okay. Who can save Hollywood? Kiki Palmer. Kelly. Kelly. Brendan Fraser and Sadie Sink. Oh, yeah.

Guy Fieri, obviously. He's so not Hollywood, though. I know, and that's, like, why he could save it, you know? Yeah. And I had a final candidate I'd like to put forth. I just need your approval. Okay. Keith Urban.

Ooh, sure. Because, like, he's so normal, Keith Urban sure because like he's so normal but he's also in Hollywood because of Nicole Kidman but he actually could save it I like that we'll continue to add to the list let me know if you have any suggestions sound off in the comments

are you ready for our fifth and final story which is the final story? Which is... The final story. It's the final story. Guy Fieri. I take a bullet for you. Oh, and by the way, that list of people who can save hollywood is also happens to

be the list of the people i would take several bullets for great love little lists crossover you do love to see it okay our next story some biz news from the influencers forbes has released their top creators of 2022 based on earnings. There's top 50 creators. It's not really in order of how much people earn. Oh my God, what a mess the website was. I was literally just trying to read this dumb ass article. And first of all, it made no motherfucking sense.

People kept showing up multiple times. Like I just was being nosy. I didn't want to see how much money people were making. Like, let me live. No, totally. The article is a mess. The article is a mess. The interview is a mess. The only thing we're interested in is how much everyone's making.

We don't care what you think their entrepreneurship score is. You know nothing, Jon Snow. And this editorialized version of the top creators is not what I'm here for. But we can glean from this data who are the highest money earning creators. this data who are the highest money earning creators in see I like so in order to have made the list and for them to have put your numbers on line you had to submit uh paperwork like tax paperwork your agents yes and I also know that they did not tell the creators that the amount of money they make would be public information. So that seems kind of fucked up because I'm sure a lot of people would not have

wanted to participate if they knew that their, you know, salaries were going to be put online because first of all, it puts a target on your back. Your house is going to get robbed. Like, I don't think many people would want other people knowing how much money they make. I don't think many people would want other people knowing how much money they make. Having said that, I did find a lot of inconsistencies with the numbers. Like I- That's so fucked.

I had a hard time believing. Let's go through it. Yeah. I don't know if we'll make it through all 50, but here's at least the top 10. I can't believe what you're just telling me. Wow. Number one is MrBeast earning $ million dollars um they also have the total followers

which for him is 162 million average engagement six percent and entrepreneur score entrepreneurship score three so it's between one and three based on like do all of your money come from brand deals and you're not really like an entrepreneur or do you have multiple revenue streams businesses that you started do you have that entrepreneurial spirit no Mr. Beast um is not only extremely entrepreneurial and philanthropic I actually recently was just watching a video about his um ghost kitchens do you know about it no I don't really know about a lot about him me neither but I was like I was so moved by this like thing so you know and I I don't think they have it in New York but when I'm on tour and I'm like in my hotel room like being fat I'll always like order like some chicken tenders and everywhere I go it says Mr. Beast's ghost kitchen and so basically what during the

pandemic what he did was like start ghost kitchens where he had a menu of like really delicious like burgers chicken like bar food um but they didn't have any physical restaurants. So they would go into like mom and pop restaurants, train the employees and make them official ghost kitchens for Mr. Beast. And then Mr. Beast would promote his Mr. Beast kitchen in Minneapolis and give this mom and pop shop like tons of revenue and help them not lay off employees during the pandemic. And it became huge. I think there's like hundreds of locations now.

It was actually like, he didn't do it to make money. He has more money than God. Like he was really doing it to help people. It was really cool. That's really cool. Yeah, I think maybe the clip I watched, he was on Joe Rogan talking about it. I think it was a podcast.

I can't remember which one though. Yeah, they mentioned in the Forbes article. They also like sat down with everyone, all 50 creators. I think there was a photo shoot and a video interview. So very involved. And to not tell them they were going to publish their salaries again is extremely fucked. So I just heard that from a few people who were on the list.

So I don't want to be slanderous. I feel like that's a good source. Number two, and he's number one by a mile. He was $54 million in earnings. Number two is Charli D'Amelio at $17.5 million. Also earning an entrepreneurship score of three. Yeah, she has a lot of businesses. She makes the ring lights.

She obviously does social media. She does brand deals. She has the reality show. She's going on Dancing with the Stars. I believe entrepreneurial three. Yes, for sure. She has her clothing brand, brand, social She has the reality show. She's going on Dancing with the Stars. I believe Entrepreneurial 3. Yes. For sure. She has her clothing brand, Social Tourist, Hulu show, Snap show, and then also brand

deals. Invisalign, Morphe, Duncan. She's still posting her dances. Yeah. She's a little entrepreneur. Number three, Alex Cooper, $20 million. Also entrepreneurship score of three. But obviously we all know $ million dollar deal with spotify

20 million dollars a year where's that right uh number four fuck jerry 30 million dollars see again it's not in monetary order no it makes no motherfucking sense because it's not a fuck jerry number two wild yeah that's why this list is a mess loathe that person whose name you just mentioned however great business between the board games you got to respect the hustle um even if you don't respect the person entrepreneurship score of three three well deserved happy for him rolling in the dough number five emma chamberlain, $12 million. Entrepreneurship score of three for sure. She has multiple brands.

Podcast. She does the Vogue interviews. She's an influencer for different fashion brands. She's three. Number six, Huda Katan, $13 million. Entrepreneurship score of three. So this is where I feel like the numbers In this Thing make no sense Huda Katan is literally the

Charlotte Tilbury of the Middle East Her brand and it's huge in America too But like in Because she lives in Dubai in the Middle East It's enormous So I don't know it just sounds like too little Yeah the brand has expanded Into skincare and all sorts of cosmetic goodies,

retailing direct to consumer and in stores like Sephora around the world, helping her reach a net worth of $400 million, making her one of the richest self-made women in the world. So how was her earnings $13 million? Like it just doesn't make any sense. Great question. That's a great question. I felt like the numbers on this were either so high for some people

and so low for other people. Yeah. Number seven, Rhett and Link at $30 million. I don't know them. I don't know them. They have a YouTube comedy channel. Cool. Number eight, Kabi Lame, $10 million.

TikToker. Of course. New face of Hugo Boss. I just saw him in Bloomingdale's when me and Ben were shopping. It was so crazy. What's his entrepreneurial score? Three. I think to be in the top 10, you have to have a score of three.

One, it's hard to make that much money just on like one revenue stream alone. And two, maybe you make a lot of money on brand deals or whatever, but they wouldn't put you in the top 10 if you're not an entrepreneurial spirit girly. Number nine, Addison Rae 8.5 million dollars her number felt low I feel like between and what's her entrepreneurial score three she has a lot of businesses of course she acts she does social media she does brand deals she started item beauty she does like different capsule collections she's definitely an entrepreneur I just felt like 8.5 and by the way it's important to note that these figures are for 2021 so for what they made in the calendar year last year and I just felt like last year was her biggest year yet and I don't know especially when you

now compare to other now we're getting into numbers um from other people who are similar to Addison and it's like she definitely made more than them you know yeah totally and number 10 which is why this list is such a crock of shit is Jake Paul earning 45 million dollars with an entrepreneurship score of two now that's offensive no it's just like it's it's a bias because Jake Paul whether you like it or not is literally beyond entrepreneurial I was just watching this video I don't know he was like came out with this tech company he obviously does the boxing you don't get to make 45 million dollars every year from a YouTube channel if you're not extremely entrepreneurial so and he should with this number he should be at number two and his entrepreneurship score is

number three what doesn't Jake Paul do he's also like there's the stuff that we see that he does and then I think he also does a ton of other stuff in Bitcoin like yeah no that just seems like an intentional slight against jake paul for sure yeah shall we keep going yeah next is mark edward fishback markie plier no clue no clue uh he you could skip the people we don't know for the sake of time okay great okay number 12 we don't know number 13 you don't know number 14 patrick we don't know. Number 14, Patrick Starr, $15 million. That sounds right. His beauty company, One Size, is so popular. Actually, I used their settings for this morning.

Number 16, the bias strikes again. Danielle Bregoli at $51 million. She should be number two. Say what you want. She should be number two. Entrepreneurship score is a one, even though she owns and operates her OnlyFans channel. Right, and she does, she has a beauty company to go from being like the cash me outside girl on dr phil to 51 million dollars in

one year you need a ton of fucking entrepreneurial spirit percent a lot this is really frustrating i didn't even realize some of this stuff this is really such lies what because she's not forbes approved right no totally because she's considered low brow i think the same could be said for jake paul yeah of course yeah but like we didn't ask you what you know we just want the figures we want the facts and we want the figures number 17 then is josh richards at five million dollars i feel like he would make more but okay yeah number 18 Marcus Brownlee from YouTube no clue 1920 21 Dixie D'Amelio 10 million dollars that sounds accurate mm-hmm 22 new toaster Danny Austin Ramirez 8.2 million dollars I saw this 8.2 I need to talk to Danny Austin um question mark yeah well

I think a big stream for her is Divi which is uh like her hair care brand I've used it for postpartum hair loss it's a scalp serum and what's crazy is like it's a brand it's a whole line but it's really just that one serum and right that like launched it yeah Forbes reported that she had 23 million dollars in sales to date well also and I know this is only considering money from 2021 but I saw a lot about Danny Austin obviously I became familiar with her a few weeks ago when she became a toaster and I just like love to see it then you know the um like the water bottles that everyone's obsessed with Stanley yeah so they released like their new generation and they like did the collab with Danny Austin exclusively

like on commission and like they literally I'm sure in one day she made a million dollars it was so crazy that's cool yeah uh number 25 our first fashion girly here Ami Song at 2.8 million dollars I'm sorry to still be on that list when you have been like at the top of the blocker game for 10 years is so impressive yeah like she stays relevant good for her there are a couple fashion people on the list this would make her the number one. She has an entrepreneurship score of three. But like where's Kiara? Jinx.

Where's Kiara? Then Desi Perkins is number 26 at $12 million. Tracks. Bretman Rock is number 27 at $6 million. Bretman Rock is the best influencer of all time, period. Like, I don't know anyone funnier or makes better content or literally, like, I don't even know. I would say he started as a beauty influencer.

Now he just does whatever the fuck he wants. And like, it's so funny. I love Bretman Rock. He's a personality then. He makes more than $6 million. Like, he's literally, he comes up on my TikTok every single day. Google partnership. Like, more.

Noah Beck, number 28, $4.5 million. Camila Coelho, $2.5 million, number 30, another fashion girl. Both her and Ami have lines with Revolve. Yeah. Number 32, Tinks, $11 million with an entrepreneurship score of one. But sure. How would Bretman Rock make $6 dollars and tinks made 11 million right unless she has other businesses which would make her entrepreneurship score higher so that what's her entrepreneurship score one

so what they're saying i don't think 11 million dollars in brand deals right she doesn't have any businesses of her own like it's just brand deals and well i guess it's from 2021 she went through like a major scandal and i don't think she gets brand deals. And well I guess this is from 2021. She went through like a major scandal and I don't think she gets brand deals anymore. But in 2021 she did but I don't. See this is where I felt

like the list really started to make no sense. Like Bretman Rock making 6 million. Number 33 Ricky Thompson 2.5 million. Same thing.

Like Ricky Thompson is like brands are obsessed with him. He is has so many followers but he has an entrepreneurship score of three oh but from what what does it say in the description I feel like he just does brand deals he has three million followers on TikTok has done sponsored content for brands like YSL Beauty, Montclair, and Marc Jacobs he also is a regular face of coach campaigns oh he also has a Spotify a Spotify Spotify podcast. We said what we said.

And is starting in his first feature film, Good Morning with Machine Gun Kelly, Megan Fox, and Dove Cameron. I feel like that would be a level two entrepreneurial. Yeah, that just doesn't make sense if Tink's has $11 million and an entrepreneurship score of one. That's just incongruous. Right, no. I felt like this whole chart was confusing to me.

Then number 36, your girl Mikaela, $2.4 million. Right. Okay, so this is where the list officially became nonsense to me because I heard Mikaela Noguera, if you want to work with her, she's booked two years out in advance. She has 13 million followers on TikTok. She is easily the most influential person on the platform. She's certainly the most influential person in the beauty space. She does partnerships. She is so motherfucking rich. It's

like multiple ads a day from premium ass companies. You're telling me she made what? 2.4 million dollars. But and I don't know why I'm like focused on Tinks, but like Tinks making 11 million dollars like with an entrepreneurship score of one, just want to say and they didn't write if she does have other businesses they didn't reference and they talked about her brand deals her podcast and her chipotle bowl that's named after her so that was an entrepreneurial score of three you're saying yes maybe it was more like they sat down with the person and like got a vibe of like their entrepreneurial levels because this article makes no sense no no it makes no sense but still we appreciate that.

Like, I'm just glad. I appreciate like knowing what everyone's up to because I'm nosy and annoying. Knowing what everyone's up to and that like creators are getting respect. Like they should be in the Forbes world. And I think a lot of people have found this so fucking interesting. Yeah, no. And I'm curious how the creators feel about like their personal finances being on blast because I do think it would make a lot of them probably feel uncomfortable.

Yes, agreed. Shall I continue? No or you're good okay cool so those are the top creators asterisk right of 2021 and I feel as though you needed to know that I definitely think you needed to know that and what you also needed to know is today's dear toasters our Wednesday advice segment you write into dear toasters at gmail.com and we'll show you the world I don't know how to finish that sentence um and it's brought to you by studs finish that sentence gotcha I'm not talking to you anymore today's episode is brought to you by studs let's just both talk at the audience like not to each other today's episode is brought to you by studs let's just both talk at the audience like not to each other today's episode is brought to you by studs you've probably noticed the ultimate cool girl look is in and a fully loaded stacked earscape is in if that feels a little intimidating then

I'm good. I have a dilemma that I need to talk to you about. I need my best gals. I'm ready to hear whatever harsh but necessary advice is warranted. Okay, she asked for harsh.

Right. My boyfriend is of eight years, and I moved in together about a year ago. And since moving in, our sex life has been slim to none. We talk about it often because our work schedules just don't allow us to see each other at the sexiest times. So I felt that we were on the same page about it I went to set an alarm on his phone for work yesterday and I found him messaging several OnlyFans girls specifically asking if any of them would be interested in fucking a fan quote also I found different snapchat accounts than what I know him as again messaging girls sending dick pics the whole nine yards he knows I caught

him he was embarrassed apologetic and said all the things that I needed to hear. I do believe him that it wasn't anything more than a jerk off. And he offered to move out or whatever I wanted him to do. I love him and I'm comfortable and I've worked so hard on a relationship over the last eight years. That I don't know what to do. He didn't actually cheat from what he's told me. Help what would the morning toast do? Do I break up with this man and start from scratch at 28 at 28 years old okay 28 is not that old first of all and obviously like

I know the fact that you've been together for so long is like making this challenging when at the end of the day this is like the least challenging prompt we've ever had not only was he keeping all this from you and lying which is so deceptive and and is so indicative of like a fucked up personality trait but he was doing it with the intent to cheat on you and the fact that none of these models wanted to fuck him like it's just sheer coincidence like he would have fucked someone if somebody would have fucked him if they would quote fuck a fan he's got to go first of all he doesn't have time to have sex with you but he has time to have multiple snapchat accounts only fans accounts to be spend any of that amount of time on trying to woo you,

even if it's an unsexy time of the day, this is really bad. I mean, if you had said like, we don't have a lot of time to have sex, but I see him like he has OnlyFans, he looks at other girls and like, like watches porn or whatever. That would be a different conversation.

But like actively, he was looking to cheat on you. He just couldn't get arrested. Right, which is sad for sad for him and like you could do better than that as someone who can't even get arrested gotta go 28 you're so fine and you didn't even say like this man is love of my life like he's an agent you said uncomfortable Jackie I thought the same thing this is your sign he has absolutely gotta go he sounds like a piece of work and you will be so much better off without him. Also like the fact that you caught him and his response is like, it wasn't, you caught him cheating.

You did. And he's like, no, I'll be better. Like I'll move out. Like he's giving martyr energy. You have to let this man go. He sounds so fucking toxic. And this isn't even a red flag. It's literally like a red blanket.

It's huge. Goodbye. Yeah. Goodbye. I'm so sorry like but no keep us posted on your single endeavors yeah like move on I know it feels like a long time because you were together for eight years but it's not like you're 40 you're 28 you're still young you date someone for one two years get married at 30 that's normal yeah I was reading that book for the redheads Dolly Alderton and I started it yesterday she said something pretty good in it she said about breaking up with someone like if you could go into a room and push a button and the breaking up would be done there's no like logistics him moving out this or that you would have him out of your life and like you would

everything else is taken care of would you do it wow and that's your answer and I'm kind of feeling like if that was an option, like I'd totally do it to Ben. It just sounds so easy. Like honestly, like it's a little too enticing, you know? Yeah, but you have to take all the external factors out of the equation. If you could be rid of this person, would you do it? I just want to say I'm totally kidding.

Like I... No, it's a joke and it was funny. Okay, yeah. Like should I cut that out? Like Ben is going to be mad. No, no, he won't hear it. Next up. Right.

That's so true. Hey, Jackson Claude. I've been a toaster breather for years and I have this neighbor who lives across the street. He's like an old man who lives by himself. He looks like Santa Claus, but he wears wife beaters. I don't know if we're still saying wife beaters, but whatever. Nevertheless.

I haven't heard of a better term, like a replacement. No, but a tank top is like spaghetti. If he's wearing a tank top, I'd be like, what? Sexy. I can't visualize. There's too many. It's too vague. It's an umbrella term.

So I tried to wave at him or smile at him over the years, but he's never acknowledged me or my husband. Anyway, I know being neighborly isn't for everyone, but I've noticed over the past month or so, every night when I'm in my bathroom getting ready for bed, I happen to look out the window. I can see him in his family room. He's literally watching porn. I see him.

I can't see him. I can't see what he's doing, but I can only imagine what he's doing. And it's like, close your blinds. Your laptop slash TV is facing the window. Keep in mind, I've never met or spoken to this man, so do I leave an anonymous note letting him know that people can see,

or do I just mind my own business? That's so weird. It's every night. Yeah. And it like, looks directly into her bathroom. Get a window treatment. No, that's like psychotic behavior. Yeah, I know.

But what is she going to do? Like he's in his own house minding his own motherfucking business. She's the one not minding her own business. No, no. But like. I say leave it alone. No, don't do anything. Don't do anything to him.

It's just. Put up some plants outside your window put up some mcplant a shrub mcplant yeah what is our uh sponsor fastgrowingtrees.com like go get a tree yeah like you can't say anything because one it's like creepy technically you're the one like peeping tom on him and he's not breaking any laws he's literally just watching porn so yeah no and it's like you said it's like a laptop or an ipad so it's a smaller device it's not like his television his 80 foot set right he knows you can see from the street like i'm sure he would be embarrassed of course i would hope that he's being ours and he obviously lives alone he's looking for like

some female companionship on his i just feel like he has to know that you can see it and that people can see it from the street and like he keeps doing it you know what like he's older like older people don't think of that like we are like we're born with cell phones in our hands like we're so conscious of our like of our phones and our activity and like older people like they don't think everyone's looking because they didn't grow up looking at other people's phones you know okay okay okay you're convincing me the convincer the convincer um I say leave it alone for real like it's of course regardless leave it alone put up a shrub our third and final I've been just literally waiting we're going on an hour and a half episode like I've just been waiting to get to this ready so last week we had a girl write in about the fact that her husband um was switching to coffee from energy drinks and was getting like

yellow stains and just his teeth were getting gross and he says he'll whiten his teeth but he never makes the appointment and she was getting really fed up and basically we told her like yeah no yellow teeth aren't great but you kind of sound like a naggy bitch and like he's working hard like leave him alone a little bit you know switch like and now it's something else yeah you were the one who convinced him to switch to coffee from energy drinks like he's doing his best now she writes in and i just want to say i really appreciate her writing in so quickly because this one was fresh in my mind jackson claude following up on the husband with yellow teeth first off thank you for the slap in the face that I needed. I was being

so naggy and getting an outside perspective really helped me realize that. I definitely need to pick my battles and I should probably stop being a petty wench. I was all for never bringing it up again, but guess what happened? We went out to lunch with his friends and our new baby and my girlfriend snapped a few pictures. When my husband asked me to show him them later in, he zoomed in on his teeth. I didn't say a word. I just said, aw, that's a great picture of you. The next morning, I saw whitening strips in the bathroom.

Thank you again, girls. See, some things just take care of themselves. The universe works itself out. I'm so happy for you because you win now. Your husband's taking care of it. And you look like the cool, chill wife who just made a suggestion and didn't nag him about it. Who loves him no matter what his teeth look like. Oh my God.
