Good morning, Millennials. Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Tuesday. It's a beautiful Tuesday here in wherever you are. Hey, Claude, how you doing? Hello, Jacqueline. Happy Tuesday. I hope everyone's having a great day. I am feeling good. You're feeling good? Yeah, well, it's January 25th, which is a really special day for me. Because it's the one-year anniversary of your book, correct? Well, 50% right. Yes, today is the one-year anniversary of the day my book came out last year, which is just always going to be a happy time in my life because I loved writing my book. I made the New York Times bestsellers list.

Everyone seemed to really like it. And then the January 25th before that was the day I sold out and performed at the Beacon Theater. So it's just like a really special day for me. And then what's on deck for today? How do you beat those two things? Well, today is the release of my book in paperback, The One Year Anniversary. This is the paperback version I'm holding in my hand. It still has the picture inserts. And if you're watching on YouTube, you see I have the New York Times bestseller little stamp on the book, which is what I'm particularly really excited about. This is a great size if you're traveling.

It's very flexible. You could beat it up. It's available now everywhere you get your books. Paperback Queen over here. That's very exciting. I'm glad you're three for three on January 25th. Glad this day could be extra special for you. What do you're three for three on January 25th. Glad this day could be extra special. What do you think is going to happen next 25th? Oh anything could happen. So much could

happen between now and then. I know. Like you could give birth. I know. You could give birth next January 25th. Girl. Calm down. You could though. Calm down. Technically. No no I could yes will I no think about it something to think about because you're gonna you're gonna have to top yourself could get another dog you know I know um yeah I'll figure something out for next January 25th but um I'm just happy with this year's 25th. Okay. And then you have your book event tonight? Yes. So I'm just like busy, busy, busy today. So I'm so glad we're getting this podcast out a little earlier than we usually do.

Because I know you're busy. I'm busy. We're just like all busy. Meetings, meetings, meetings. Except for me, it's doctor's appointments, doctor's appointments, doctor's appointments. I have all of them today. So we have to get this show on the road so that I can go see some pics of LC I'm excited yeah I'm excited for photos of LC update on LC's journey and do you ever think like at this stage when you go to the doctor like maybe

they'll just induce you no it's too early for that I think but I mean you never know what could happen hopefully I'll get some more information on, like, what I can expect, when I can expect. But I also don't even think I'll get that. I think they'll just send me home and tell me to, you know, come back in two weeks or whatever. Keep sitting down. Yeah. So we'll see what happens. But I just, I love getting the information, like, to see a checkup.

Like, to know how much baby's weighing, et cetera. So looking forward to hearing all of that. That's very exciting. Yeah. So other than that, how was your day yesterday? Anything new and exciting for you? Have you done your Wordle yet? Wordle was yesterday, the first day I couldn't do. Did you get it? I got it on the fifth try. It was a hard one, though. The hard K and the double L, it's not a spoiler now because it's a new day. I haven't done today's yet, but it's something I've

really come to look forward to. Yeah, no, it's really good brain exercise for all of us who are just like frying our brains on our phone all day. I'm really glad that everyone's also taking up Wordle to get, you know, 10 minutes of brain exercise. And I feel like it's definitely helping a little bit. It can't hurt. But there should be more than one. Like, you should be able to do a bunch if you want. It's a little annoying.

Well, I told you about the Wordle archive, right? Yeah, you sent that to me. I was playing with that for a while. That's like a good practice but yes but i think the thing that's going to keep people excited about it for longer than the usual internet attention span is the fact that you can only do one a day so we're still all really excited because in actuality i've only done like eight wordles yeah i guess that's true. Slow and steady. But it's been fun. I was like HQ. HQ. Yeah, but like everyone was really jazzed about it at the time because it was like this thing we were all doing once a day. But I think they eventually moved to twice a day. Yeah. Oh, wow. What did that was like so long ago now? That's like more than five years ago. Because that was was like breath does anyone know the toast for five years yes but does anyone know anyone who ever won hq i don't i don't me neither let us know if you do drop your story spooky drop the story i think we should get into the fast side we have a lot to talk about

today. We have a lot of stories. We have dear toasters. I need to know what you guys are up to. Do we have any updates? Oh, I haven't checked yet because you know I like to read blind. So let me check right now. But also we have a lot to do today. But we also have to tell you guys that we recorded a really great. OK,'s no oh there is an update oh my god and i don't know what i'm looking at but there's also a picture exciting visual aids an email update with a picture so i'm not going to read it because i want to be surprised um but yes yesterday we recorded a really great patreon we told you guys a couple like a week ago that we did toast secret and there was just such an overwhelming response

from that episode that we did a part two because so many more people submitted their deepest, darkest secrets. And this one got pretty crazy. There were a lot of secrets. I feel like the first episode really inspired the second batch to come with their biggest and their baddest secrets. And you guys are wild. You're wild.

There's just so much to unpack. So head over to patreon.com slash morninghost after this episode and indulge in there's now two episodes of secrets. So if you are harboring a secret like that, you can feel better about it knowing that there's at least one in there that's fucking crazier than yours. That's worse. Yeah. That I think was the whole kind of therapy behind this episode.

One, obviously the concept of unburdening yourself with your secret giving it to us that feels good but then hearing other people's secrets knowing like the thing that keeps you up at night it's not even close to as bad as a thing that's keeping someone else up at night it's great it's just like they say the truth shall set you free and free it was so head over to patreon.com slash the morning toast okay so now without further ado do-do-do-do how's do quickly i miss i miss him my sweet love he's perfect he's special he's unique he's charismatic and he's one of a kind really how.

Okay, you guys, our first story of the day is the most important news of the day, that I was RDH that I did not bring up yesterday. Everyone is tagging me in this. Mason Ramsey has gone viral again. We have an update from Lil Hank Williams himself, Because Mason has been quite MIA for the last year or so. Especially, you know, after his rise to stardom.

As you know him as the Walmart Yodel Boy. He put out his EP. He was everywhere. Touring here, there. And I really feel like once COVID started, Mason really became pretty low key. To the step back. A number of things have happened in the last few weeks that have thrust Mason back into the spotlight. First, his song, one of his songs from his EP is going viral

on TikTok. Do you want to tell us about the trend? Yeah, so it's a song called Before I Knew It. It's really cute. And it's just like a very short little country dance that people were doing. And then when they put the pieces together that it was a Mason Ramsey song, it led the internet down this second Mason Ramsey rabbit hole, only to find out not only is Mason Ramsey doing very well, he's home, he works at Subway, he's returned to a very normal life of a 15-year-old. He's extremely humble. He's taking a break from singing. He's 15 now now so he's Going through puberty he's Going through an interesting time and he has Reverted back to normal life he works at

Subway when people on TikTok found That out they were quaking because he went from Walmart To Subway he said he he's been Answering questions now he says he's been working there For over a year he's never been happier He's just feeling really good he's gonna Come back but he just needed some time off And I don't know.

I just I too am obsessed beyond belief with this story. Yeah, it's really it's so beautiful on a number of levels. One, to see Mason like thriving, doing well. You love to see it too. A lot of times when people like shoot to stardom, their families like don't know how to handle it. They like try and ride the wave for as long as possible. They exploit the kids.

It's really like sad and it doesn't really end well because every what goes up must come down all good things must come to an end and you're not going to have that viral excitement forever so the fact that he's like resumed normal life he's working at subway he's a hard-working guy I I'm so like impressed by him and like his grandparents that they have just continued to live as as normal life as possible. And I think Mason, and he's so talented. So he has a career waiting for him when he's older, whether he wants it or not. But he should spend these next few years like trying to be a normal person and not be stunted at the age that he became famous, which was 12. And I just

feel like these grandparents need to write a book on child stars because they're doing everything right. I completely agree. Like, I've never gotten a, you know, a follow-up piece of information about Mason Ramsey that put a pit in my stomach or that made me think, like, is he doing the right thing? And, you know, I think we said this when he was in the midst of going viral the first time. It seems like he has really good support behind him. Like, of course, his grandparents, you know, they've lived a very simple life up until this point. They didn't know how to handle this. And every, you know,

talent agent and everyone wanted to work with Mason back in the day. And I feel like he made really good decisions about who to surround himself with. They never overworked him. They never made him like, you know, overexploited. And now they've given him the space to kind of retreat back to his normal life. But you know, the society still wants him like he's so desirable. So I love that for him. And I agree, he will be able to whether or not he wants one is still up for debate. But when he grows up officially, he can make the decision if he wants to go into music or if he wants to have a normal life. And I think that that's so rare and you have to attribute that to really good grandparenting yeah and he has all the music contacts now he knows the people in the biz he's worked with like so many of the biggest artists so even if the dream ends there

for him like his dreams came true and if not he has a like a runway open and available to himself so I just felt like this was such a beautiful unexpected update I didn't even realize how quiet he had been not even like not putting out music or doing shows but also just not even on social media like a kid his age should be tiktoking especially like if he's a thirsty former viral star like I don't want to compare you know thirsty formal viral child stars but there are some who you know thirst out all the way until we're really fucking sick of them so this is a beautiful update thank you everyone i mean it's so funny what people send like what you get copious amounts of dms about like stories or memes that like make what people associate with you so this m Mason Ramsey story, I must have gotten a hundred DMs about it.

Also, there's this meme that like whenever a big meme account posts it, everybody tags me and it's like me in every photo and it's all the different emojis with a peace sign next to it. Have you seen that one? It was just reposted. Yeah. So it's always a delight to see what makes people think of me. And I'm so glad that it's Mason Ramsey. No, that's really endearing. And this was a great story.

You know, you're right. When it comes to situations like this, updates aren't always going to be positive. But at the very least, even if all this goes away, I feel solace knowing that like Mason Ramsey still knows who he is and at at the least he can have a successful career as an influencer because he has crazy amounts of followers people are just gravitate towards him and it's like he doesn't even want I guess that's a sign of like a really you know a star they're like I don't even care about it and like people just can't stop checking in on him what's mason up to what's mason doing no that's true there is this like desire from everyone to know what he's up to yeah must be nice and i would just love to eat a sandwich made by mason ramsey even though i

literally detest subway i would eat it for mason he would have to bring it outside because i'm not going in there i'll have to do drive-thru hopefully he's working the drive-thru window because i'm not going into that smelly meat locker but it's also good to know that that is top five the funniest thing you've ever said oh my god you all ramsay bringing you a sandwich to the parking lot you all know that we talk once a year about like how the smell of subway and either like you despise it or you like revel in it and clearly mason and i differ on this issue but it's fine i like i can accept that and as long as he'll bring my sandwich to the curb, we don't have an issue. Oh, my God.

You are too funny. Just, you know, something to think about. Well, happy for Mason. And, like, today's just a day of talking about our favorite people. Because are you ready for our next story? Yes. Taylor Swift is slamming a singer who claimed that she doesn't write her own songs so taylor swift engaged in some twitter beef yesterday with musician damon albarn for claiming in a new interview that she doesn't write her own songs who right um he's uh the front man

for the band blur and he's also in gorillas with a z oh yeah no and he's also in Gorillaz with a Z. Oh, yeah, no, and I'm also in the band called The band called this joke Flat. Yeah, no, I couldn't think of something, but like, okay, all I'm saying is he's a nobody. Yeah, I didn't recognize his name. I went to his picture, still didn't recognize. Now hearing these band names, Gorillaz sounds familiar, but still like unfamiliar. Yeah. So he did an interview with the LA Times, said that Taylor doesn't write her own songs.

She took to Twitter to say, at Damon Albarn, I was such a big fan of yours until I saw this. I write all of my own songs. Your hot take is completely false and so damaging. You don't have to like my songs, but it's really fucked up to try and discredit my writing. Wow. Then she wrote, P.S. I wrote this tweet all by myself in case you were wondering. Then some of Taylor's collaborators came to her side to confirm that she indeed writes her own songs, such as Aaron Dessner and Nathan Chapman. And now Damon Albarn has apologized. He said, I apologize unreservedly and unconditionally.

The last thing I would want to do is discredit your songwriting. I hope you understand. Well, he also had initially said that, you know, he hates that the magazine, you know, took something he said out of context and used it for clickbait, which is such like a cop out because like that might be possible that they did that but like you still said it yeah so I went to the quote where he said it he was talking about like Billie Eilish and he was comparing like Taylor and Billie and that like Billie writes her own songs in more of a way than Taylor does because Taylor co-writes her songs I I didn't even know that this was a thing. I just, who doesn't associate Taylor Swift with writing her own songs?

It's so dumb, like, to take, have such a hot take that's just, like, factually inaccurate. Like, and the thing is, and there's a lot of things that bothered me about this. And, like, you know, say what you want about Taylor. Like, some people have problems with her, whatever. The one thing you actually cannot say about her is that she doesn't write her own music that's like literally her thing and I get why it bothered her so much and I think some some like a devil's advocate would be like well why does she care what this random man said like he's a nobody but it's like the one thing no one's ever really been able to take away

from her and that would bother me too especially on a platform like the LA Times and I'm assuming she knows who this man is because I don't yeah of course i would never have seen this story if she didn't talk about it i would never know who this man was if she didn't talk about it so she's also like giving air and more you know of a platform to these accusations i just i don't understand what why he would even say that when it's like wrong she either does or she doesn't and she does so why would she say he say that she doesn't there was also so why would she say he say that she doesn't there was also another thing that bothered me about this okay so i'm going to read you like the context in which the conversation was being had so he had said something in the interviewer

was like so you think a lot of modern musicians are relying on sound and attitude and he goes name me someone who's not and then the art journalist goes, she may not be to your taste, but Taylor Swift is an excellent songwriter. He goes, she doesn't write her own songs. They go, of course she does, blah, blah. And I just don't understand why you had to preface that question, that follow-up, she may not be your taste. Why? Is your taste not good? You don't like good music?

Would you have said, she may not be your taste but dolly parton you wouldn't say that like you would just say dolly parton you know um i guess but you would also say it about other people not it's not just like something about taylor so that's i i do believe that it is it feels like you know if you're gonna bring up taylor's accolades you always have to preface it like well you know you might, you might not love her, but you have to respect her. Well, why? Why can't you just love her? Literally, everyone does.

There's a reason she's literally the biggest pop star on the planet. Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. Interesting. This is just such losery vibes, like, and justice for this man's social media because the Swifties have descended upon it as they should and I just think this man I didn't know this man before I don't want to know this man now and what I do know about this man is like he's obviously a loser who just says stuff like

he's just like such an artist he has to like downplay popular music and if you're gonna do that like at least get your facts straight bitch like you're wrong yeah yeah or come with some receipts or something because that's like taylor swift is the songwriter of our generation so if you want to say that she's not then just let us know how so you know yeah and his whole his come his you know thing he said about co-writing which i I do understand, like, I think we talk about that sometimes on the toast, like, you can be a singer who really does not write her own songs, but you're always listed as a co-writer because if you're in the room or you're on the phone with, you know, you get a list, a writing credit. And that's like a thing. And I get the argument he's trying to make there. But like, Taylor Swift is not the face of co-writing, like not at all.

trying to make there but like Taylor Swift is not the face of co-writing like not at all yeah I didn't even know that co-writing is such a slanderous accusation um and it's really just like if you were in the room or maybe you told the songwriters your story and they put it to lyrics but yeah if you just want to like blow up like the biggest thing that Taylor like her claim to fame really then you're gonna then like saying it and then taking it right back like you look like a big loser the big no not only saying it and then blaming it on like journalists like clickbait and then apologizing like I'm all for blaming journalists don't get me wrong but you did have to say it for it to be in the article right so either you miss like you really misspoke and that's kind of just like a weird thing to get wrong or like back it up be like no she co-writes my friend said this blah blah blah yeah no i don't

think he ever expected like her to literally tweet when i saw like taylor swift tweeted something i'm like oh my god a new song what's going on and i'm like oh we Taylor Swift tweeted something, I'm like, oh my God, a new song? What's going on? And I'm like, oh, we're yelling at another man. I'm like, okay. And my first question was, who is this man? Yeah, me too. And I still didn't get an answer really.

I'm still wondering who is this man. Still unsure of any of his music. Unfamiliar with his work, but wishing him the best of luck in the future. Yeah. He's going to need it. I'm glad that we cleared that up though that she cleared that up yeah okay and like any more thoughts no no i'm done with my thoughts no i'm done okay okay let us know if anything comes up just let it all out our next story what what'd you say what'd you say i said the next story is brought to you by stamps.com if you're a small business owner you're busy enough as it is you don't have time to deal

Oh, okay. No. You weren't hearing me, and I was just like, you know what? Fuck this. I'm going into an ad break i need a break okay literally next story adele's show postponement story is just crumbling around her sources are saying that it was postponed over disputes not covid tmz says that uh their sources say Adele was unhappy with various set pieces acquire the sound system and other items associated with the show several sources said they could not

satisfy her production demands they say she felt numerous elements were not good enough and then also page six is reporting that she postponed the residency after a rant over a swimming pool stunt I guess she wanted to stand in the middle of a swimming pool during her performance, but she compared the final design to an old pond and refused to do so. When she saw the final design, she refused to take part. Yeah, not to be like, you know, I knew it, but I really didn't think it was COVID. And I don't think most of us did. Yeah. But we just live in a day and age where like, you know, I knew it, but I really didn't think it was COVID. And I don't think most of us did. Yeah.

But we just live in a day and age where, like, we all have this one excuse. Yeah. It's amazing. Yeah. Until, like, someone calls you out on it. And now it's like, not only did you disappoint the fans and this and that, but you also lied. And I just still, I can't fathom how abysmal it could have been. Also, Vegas has, has like every single production

element available to them and it just seems like there were so many like I'm reading different stuff from like the set designer and like sources and whatnot it seems like there's just like so much friction on set and it's like either one how does this not happen more often when there are just so many personalities or two like what the fuck it feels like either one, how does this not happen more often when there are just so many personalities? Or two, like what the fuck? It feels like something's very off. Or maybe she was really trying to do something that couldn't be done. Like she was going so outrageous. But which is just so not Adele.

Because as we said in depth last week, like her show is her voice. And there can be, you know, a choir and an orchestra and she can make it beautiful but she doesn't need a swimming pool like at all no she does not need a swimming pool uh also have you seen that she's been like facetiming fans and like dming them like fans who were supposed to be at the show and like trying to make it right yeah no it's really nice but it's like it's desperate it's giving like oh it's giving oh we don't have covid it's giving like it's giving guilt yeah no it's not premium it's not coming off premium and then she's not adele she's sending them to like her shop which

is a merch store like sasha experience where they can like look at memorabilia and stuff and experience Adele. Oh, I didn't get to see Adele live, but I'm so glad I got to go to this souvenir shop. Yeah. Said no one ever. But it's not just about buying stuff. Like first the criticism was like she's sending her fans to go spend more money on merch. But apparently there's other things to do there that it's more like an experiential thing. But still, just no.

I feel like this story is dragging on this for so long it's a flop from adele and so when will it be up like is it gonna be up this weekend no i don't think so yeah because it's weekends with adele so like oh did she just cancel that one weekend oh i didn't even think of that, because it's weekends with Adele. So like, did she just cancel that one weekend? Oh, I didn't even think of that. I thought that's like the whole thing was off. It's postponed. It shouldn't be off. Of course not.

But I don't know. I didn't think of when it would actually be returning. And now it has to be like insane Barnum and Bailey's like so that you can say like this is what we were trying to do that we couldn't do it was worth the wait yeah yeah hmm it's a very fishy story wishes to Adele it is like just shit's not adding up yeah yeah because otherwise these things would happen more often if like people do the craziest fucking concerts and they take them on the road and they put them in trucks and they pack like it's crazy

and here you are like you've never been to the circus right they bring elephants through the midtown tunnel and you couldn't get the swimming pool of your heart's desire in las vegas the entertainment capital of the world some would say me I would say color me skeptical yeah I would say that too yeah okay no points are valid points are being made I agree are you ready for our next story yes Tiffany Haddish Haddish has is addressing her DUI arrest she's saying we're going to work it out. She joined The Tonight Show on Monday talking to Jimmy Fallon about the situation. And at first she joked about it a little bit.

She talked about, you know, the breakup with Common. She said, I can say this, Jimmy. I've been praying to God to send me a new man, a good man. And God went ahead and sent me four in uniform. Then she said, she said she's dealing with the ramifications of the DUI. She said, now I got a really great lawyer and we're going to work it out. I've got to get my asking of things to God a little better. And she was more, you know, contrite and serious in talking about how she is working it out. Okay, like, obviously, I want the best for her. I'm always going to support, you know,

people bettering themselves, but I'm still living in the disappointment. I really am. Yeah, I think that's fair. And everything takes time. But at least she's, you know, confronting it and not hiding from it and just saying like I fucked up and I'm I'm working on it yeah well from a PR perspective sitting down and doing an interview and just like talking about like you know not making it awkward is always the best thing to do so that I think was like a good PR move um but just on a personal level like I'm still I'm still wallowing in some of my disappointment because I love Tiffany Haddish and I just want to see her succeed. Yeah, I think that's all fair to say.

But just knowing how she feels about it and that she's taking responsibility and trying to also better herself is all you can hope for someone to take out of this as a lesson. Agreed, agreed. It's nice to see her handling it in a way that i like to think i would handle it as well yes now are you ready for a fifth and final story yeah uh kim kardashian skims and team usa drop a new collection ahead of the beijing olympics So Kim got that Team USA contract once again for the Beijing Games. Skims' new capsule collection marks Team USA's ongoing partnership with her shapewear company, which became the official undergarment outfitter for Team USA during the summer 2021 Tokyo Olympics. And they must have been just so pleased with her work because they called her

again for the Winter Olympics. The new capsule collection is a mix of loungewear athletic apparel and sleepwear each piece color blocked in red white and blue and bearing official team usa and olympics imagery this is awesome once again yeah it is i bought from the first collection and it's one of my most prized possessions um and i was really hoping that like something similar to what i got in the first collection which was just like the jersey long sleeve pajamas was going to be in the second collection and there's just pajama pants there's not a shirt so I'm like a little annoyed but I love for Kim so happy for Kim getting this contract it reminds me you know the Olympics are like 11 days away I know we haven't even talked about them. It's the Winter Olympics, which get, like, way less, like, juice.

But they're still really good. Yeah. I, maybe once they're on, I'll start to feel, you know, an attachment towards them. But I really, I haven't gotten, like, revved up yet at all. I mean, ice skating is always fun to watch. And, like, the skiing will be cool to see. But I don't know this olympics seems like extra pared down where is it also it's in Beijing we just had olympics so it's

like we're not used to this no and the olympics this time around was way more overwhelming than I had anticipated of course I was like very vocally excited about it and then once it got here I felt extremely overwhelmed so I'm like definitely in like my break mode from the Olympics and now they're just coming back because of COVID and it's it's overwhelming again yeah to say the least but you want to support the athletes like these people have trained their whole lives imagine how like they feel they're like oh my gosh we're six months after the summer Olympics like it's just it was a clusterfuck for everyone. It's true. It's true. When they do premiere, like, I will give it my all in wanting to be invested.

Well, you know, something we were really kind of on top of was the medal tracker from the Summer Olympics. And, you know, we were dangerously close to losing in the gold category to China. And so I'm just, like, that's my concern. That this could be the one where we do lose. And especially because they're in China. Because like no one's paying attention. And they're in China. Yeah.

So they have home corn advantage. And this could be the one that we lose. Damn, that's not an optimistic outlook. No, I wouldn't be surprised because it's like we're not even paying attention and then like it's just going to happen behind our backs, you know? Yeah. Ooh, that's interesting. Now the stakes

are higher. I know. So I will be too. I was very, you know how you said like things people associate with you? Like every time NBC Sports would like post the metal tracker on their Instagram story or in a feed post people i got like thousands of people sending it to me so that's what people used to send to me and that's gonna happen again and you know what it was very helpful i was always on top of the tracker always seeing china sneaking up on us wow

okay now like now i'm back in it i'm excited excited. They premiere? When do the Olympics? It's like in 11 days. February 11th? Who said 11 days? I don't know. I did. Did you? Okay. But you just threw that in the back.

Did I? No, I said it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I remember them saying a couple days ago it was 13 days. So I was just doing some math. Okay, cool. That'll be exciting. And we'll recap on the toast.

Also, I don't know if I've ever watched a Winter Olympics once I became a skier. So now I've never watched really skiing before and cared or understood. But now I'm more invested in skiing as I enjoy it as a hobby. Yeah, but it's not like a leisure ski. It's like they do the flips and the jumps. Right, but that's really cool. Knowing what it takes to leisurely ski on green, and it's back-breaking for some of us.

Totally. It definitely heightens the stakes. Plus, now I've seen Molly's game, and that just makes me look at Olympic skiing differently. 100%. You never know who's's gonna trip over a twig you never know who's gonna trip over a twig and then start running an insanely high profile poker ring you just never know anything's anything's possible at the olympics that's an amazing movie i actually can't it is mo Molly's game I can't ski without thinking about it which is not good really yeah because of like what happens to her ski it happens in the first five seconds so right

not a spoiler no I remember that's a really niche reference yeah but it was like a complete like one in a billion chance that something like that could happen like where the twig unclips her ski so it just always makes you think about it watch out for twigs okay so those are the fast five stories i feel as though you needed to know them and now we can launch into deer toasters i'm so excited to hear what you guys have cooked up for us today's really special because deer toasters is brought to you by Smelly Pillow.

So that's really fun. Now we're ready. All right. First up, Dear Claudia, Jackie, Bruce, and Theo. I'm sorry I couldn't think of a better opener for this email, but that's honestly how I've been feeling for the last several days. I could tell you a long convoluted story of why I had this phone, why I snooped, etc. But I'll just skip to what got me so confused. This past week, I found a Snapchat exchange between my boyfriend and his gay male friend. The texts were explicit, some of them my boyfriend talking about

our sex life, but also including dick pics from my boyfriend to this guy. The texts were from a few months ago, but definitely since we've been together. I asked my boyfriend about it and he acted like it wasn't weird at all, explaining that this other guy was just pestering him to send the pics. He obliged and didn't think to mention it to me because my boyfriend says he himself isn't gay or even bi-curious. This also opened up the conversation about how my boyfriend has downloaded an app to explore threesome opportunities. It's something we've talked about vaguely, but not like making plans. He talked to a couple of girls for us, but then deleted the app a day later. I try to stay open-minded and I'm trying to be understanding and forgiving,

but honestly, I'm feeling betrayed. I feel like sending a dick pic to anyone, regardless of gender, is still crossing a boundary. Am I overreacting? Same with the texting the other girls for us. How is it for us if I don't even know the conversations are happening? I honestly feel like he's trying to make these behaviors seem harmless, but I feel like it's making me question whether I can trust him. What do you think? Where do I go from here? I must say the first thing I thought when I opened the Snapchat was what the fuck?

And the second thing I thought was I have to email Claudia and Jackie. I'm so grateful for you and your help. So grateful, in fact, that I will definitely send an update. Love you all. Okay. He is making you feel crazy and you are not crazy. Him sending him sending his member to anyone other than you or his doctor is a no is a big no. And then also agreed like that he's conversing with women from a threesome app for you guys.

But like you are 50 percent of that equation as well. And he's being shady and I don't like it. And not only is it shady behavior but it's also like now mind games manipulation and if you like can see yourself living without this man I would say please do that I would highly suggest it I think that this man is first of all like textbook gaslighting you and he's also acting really inappropriately like right on the cusp of like what's cheating and what's not. Like he's it's like acceptable in his mind because it's an app for the three of us, even though I'm discluding you from excluding you from the entire process.

Like he's just like right on the line. It's very manipulative. And I actually really don't like this man at all. And I think this is just the beginning of his behavior. And he rationalize it, rationalizes it to himself and to you by being like oh he's gay oh i'm doing it for us like but down the line it won't be able to be so easily rationalized yeah and it'll just make you question like so much stuff like you will really think like in later in life like he'll do this about if this is clearly his personality he'll just do this about

like random shit and it'll make you think you're going crazy. And that's just not how you want to be living your life. He doesn't sound like, you know, good people. And I would, I would get away as fast as I could. I agree because this is textbook gaslighting and you're not going crazy. Like you're 100% justified in your feelings. And it doesn't sound like, I mean, you could always like, you know, talk about it, try and work on it, get to the root of, like, why he feels like he needs to lie, this, that. But sometimes these things are just, like, you know, a part of who a person is. And you can't change that. Yeah.

Sorry. I agree. Well, good luck to you. Here's our second one. Dear Jackie and Claudia, I'm a big toaster going way back to the morning breath i can't wait to see claudia at her fort lauderdale show here's why i'm writing in over the holidays i was back in my hometown and i attended dinner one night with my dad his new girlfriend and my two other sisters after dinner my dad's girlfriend texted

in a group chat with myself and my two sisters saying she had a great time and asking what we wanted for Christmas. The next morning, imagine my surprise when I opened my phone at 8 a.m. and see a text in that same group chat. This group chat is just my dad's girlfriend, my two sisters, and I. My dad is not in this group chat. And the text from my dad's girlfriend says, eggplant emoji, tongue emoji, question mark emoji. Ew. Disgusting. Probably meant for my dad. Also at 8 a.m.? What the fuck? So several weeks have now passed, and of course no one has since responded in the group chat.

My question is, what do I do the next time I see her? Do I reply in the chat, or do we just never mention it forever? Sincerely, a traumatized toaster. Damn, I'm sorry. Don't be rude. Don't be rude. Do not acknowledge it. You're an adult, it sounds like, and these things happen. And sure, it's uncomfortable.

Nobody wants to think. Nobody wants to think about this. But. Nobody. You know, you got to live and let live. It's unfortunate. What you can do, the most generous thing you could do is just to forget about it. I don't think there needs to be a conversation about the most generous thing you could do

is write something in the chat so that it goes. It gets scrolled up and no one has to like be the first person to text back. No, send like a bunch of pictures next time you're together. Take a bunch of pictures and then put them all in the channel. Just like flood it.'s good yeah just try and be like as long as this woman like is you know a kind person she makes your dad happy like and there's no you know evil stepmom things happening just there's no meredith blake give her a pass like that sucks it's worse for her than it is for you. Just know that, okay? Yes.

That's horrifying. That's horrifying. I wonder if she told your dad, like, oh my God, I fucked up with the kids. Or she's just, like, holding this in. Just, I think we need to give her a little grace. Yeah, me too. Like, it sounds like she was nice. She asked what you wanted for Christmas.

Like, she's trying. And she fucked up. And she's probably like literally going it over and over in her mind like a thousand times. Like, oh, this is a really important relationship. And like I fucked up with the daughters. Just try and be graceful. You know, older people aren't as good with text messages.

Just be nice. Yeah. And just be happy for your dad that he's good. His dick sucked. Yeah. At his age, like, you you know it's not always a given oh my god how that's horrible i'm in pain all right the third one is an update hello jackie and claudia first off many congratulations to you both jackie on becoming a mom and claudia on the

n-log tour so i was a toaster whose boyfriend allowed our chocolate lab to take over our bed and push him to my side, leaving me a sliver on our queen bed and or sometimes pushing me off the bed. I ended up taking both of your advice. Not only did I lay down the law with both of them, then I needed more room for a fucking good night's sleep. But I also kicked my boyfriend out of the bed one night when I literally couldn't take it anymore, to which he ended up sleeping on our dog's bed with the visual attached. Oh, my God. She sent a picture. Her husband is dead asleep on the floor. It's hardwood.

And the chocolate lab is deliciously cuddled up in his dog bed. So cute. To top it off, we have just – so cute. To top it off, we have just moved to a place, to a place where I've seen the snow this year, and I finally have enough room for a king bed. Claudia, you were right. It is life-changing. Thank you, ladies, for your advice.

To a fellow toaster, I hope you have just as much luck with the advice that these queens give you. XO, a well-rested toaster. Oh, you love a happy ending. You love to see it. You love to see it. And that's just further proof that a king bed can really save even the worst relationship. I mean, I look forward to the upgrade.

Right now, we're still in a queen. We will get a king probably in the next few months. And I'm just so excited because even last night, like we were having, I actually had a dream. Your bedroom is so big. I know. And it's so funny when i like post instagram stories and from my bedroom and my beds in the background people are like do you have a twin bed like it

looks so it looks so small like it actually it is a queen but in like videos and stuff and pictures it looks it looks like a full it looks like a mr c bed honestly and i actually had a dream last night the lead times with furniture delivery are so long please just place an order like please it's so complicated like it's so complicated because we love i first of all i love this bed frame so i want to keep it and we love this mattress so we want to keep it so we need to wait until we have somewhere to put this queen bed before we get it out put it in the living room like i mean it's it really it's not that big of a deal but i actually last night i had a dream like in my sleep that zach was taking up the

whole bed it was a dream though and then i got up and i started screaming and i was like but like that didn't happen in real life i don't think oh my god that is so fucking funny you need a king bed jackie i know if dear toasters has taught you nothing come on i know i know and i just but when i do get that queen bed it's gonna be king king bed it's gonna be all the more sweet you know it you're not ready for it like you going to die that you used to sleep in a queen for so fucking long. No. And also, like, then Bruce has, like, it's just going to open up a whole world of opportunities. There's Bruce's corner.

Then there could be Bruce's corner, which is exciting. It's going to be so good. Yeah. So you need to have things to look forward to in life. And that is something that I'm really looking forward to.
