Look, before we get into Tom and Katie, how's the VPR galleys doing? They're so good. So Stassi and Bo, that's like obviously who I'm staying with the whole time. So actually, I had a gift for you specifically from Bo. So Stassi is a daily listener of The Morning Toast now. You know what? I did know that. And we're hoping to secure her for a guest co-host when she comes to promote her book.

She was talking like she was definitely going to come do it. Oh, my God. I cannot believe. But she was like, I'm nervous because now definitely going to come do it. Oh my God. I cannot believe. She was like, I'm nervous because now I'm like a fan. Oh my God. The thing is,

is that the Morning Toast, I don't know if you know this, but we recently found out that Kylie Jenner listens to the Morning Toast. Shut the fuck up. It's like 90% Hi Kylie.

No, it's 10% conspiracy, 90% facts. I think it's facts. No, we like know, but like we're not like 100% sure but like we know tell me how you know I'll tell you later okay honestly obviously you don't listen to the toast because we've been talking about it all week I'm a little busy doing two hours

out of control for years. Okay so let's dive into the Fast Five. Obviously the thing on everyone's mind, People Magazine, Vanderpump Rules, Tom Schwartz, and Katie Maloney split after 12 years together. Although we may be on different paths, they say,

we will continue to love and support one another's happiness. Thank you for all the kind words. So they both post, there was like a bunch of rumors floating around. Yeah. Like break that down. So I have known about this for a couple weeks now. And it has been an ongoing thing. I don't even think I was privy to the length of time that this has been going down.

But having been married before and then going through a divorce and separation, I actually know how it goes down. And it does not happen overnight. It takes forever. It's a crack and then it's a full. You got it. Okay. So there were rumors going on about it.

And honestly, I didn't really believe it because. When did the rumors start? Like a couple of days ago. Yeah. And I was like, oh, I just wouldn't talk to anybody. I know. You were in LA. And then I saw your stories.

Like, weren't you with them both? So this is the thing is like, it really is amicable and it's not bullshit, you know? And so it's like, I know conscious uncoupling, blah, blah, blah. But that's like Gwyneth. And I actually do love Gwyneth now. But she can just. I would take a bullet for her. Right. But she can be a little like, it's like, I know conscious uncoupling, blah, blah, blah. But that's like Gwyneth. And I actually do love Gwyneth now. I would take a bullet for her. Right. But she can be a little, like, it's just so easy.

I woke up like this vibes and it's kind of annoying. Yeah. But in this case, I mean, they are, I can't even like talk about the bubba of it all because it like breaks my fucking heart. I know. But like this is, they are still like socializing together. Like we were, so the news, so I knew about it, like, a couple weeks ago. And then when I got out there, we had dinner, me and Stassi and Katie.

So, of course, like, we, like, talked more about it. But, like, I even kind of felt like maybe I felt like, as somebody who loves a relationship, like, I was like, is there a world in which maybe there could be, is, like, a trial or something? And who knows what the future holds is, I guess, what I'm trying to say I'm trying to say but like I also like but that's the thing about relationships you never like nothing is ever fully set in stone you never know so I was just kind of like trying to be supportive and not like stick my nose in too much yeah of course because it's so hard especially when you've been together for so long and especially when your relationship has been

on national television for so long and people just love to criticize. Yes. And Tom and Katie like have been the butt of a lot of jokes. Yes. Which is just annoying. And now I think like people who, you know, are like trolling them online. We're like, we knew we were. Oh, which is just like such a fucking annoying thing to say. So.

I do have to say I was left kind of breathless by Tom Schwartz's statement. Yeah. Which was just shocking to me because first of all he kind of let us know like katie's the one leaving him katie's the one who's decided this marriage no longer works for her she's no longer happy yeah which i love because i think we've seen on the show for a while and the show's not everything but like she deserves more and she deserves better yeah and she's just been like you know miles ahead of him when i think when it comes to like maturity absolutely and so i thought this was such a mature statement i'm gonna read it because I was like I not to be dramatic like I was breathless I was

like I was too okay so this is what I was too well this sucks how am I supposed to capture 12 years of love in a fucking canned Instagram caption what picture am I supposed to use is there a go-to breakup font I wanted to clear the air on some of the rumors floating around Katie and I are separating I'm not quite really used to the d word yet because it's too painful yes my heart aches but i'll be okay not looking to evoke any sympathy here i'm not the victim not going to write a sad to not going to write too sad a song i fully respect katie's decision and we've had a healthy productive conversation about it it would be far sadder if she decided to stay with me while not happy after nine years on reality tv show it feels a

little tone deaf to say please respect our privacy. Right. Especially while posting this. So instead, I'll ask you to please be kind. I don't judge you for any snap judgment.

If I was watching us on Vanderpump Rules for the last nine years, I'd be making them too. Right. Perception gets skewed because of seeing snippets of our lives on the show,

but I'm telling you we had some of the most blissful, romantic, fun times humanly possible over the course of our relationship. I'm talking heaven on earth level of joy. I know.

I'm literally going to cry. I mean, she taught me so much about love and being a better partner. It's hard not to feel like a statistic. Another failed marriage. I don't look at it as a failure. As sad as I am, still happy to say there's no anger or bitterness. Zero. Still so much love for you, Katie, and your family.

I don't think we were ever a model couple. Maybe we are a model divorce. A dubious title, I suppose. Also, I'm aware of the tragedies taking place in the world right now. I have perspective. I'll be fine. So I'll shut up now and say it one last time. Love you, bub.

Always and forever, you'll be in my heart. On my ass? Maybe not so much. And then a couple pictures. Like, I thought... I mean, the best pictures ever. The last one killed me where he was, like, passing her, like, in April Spritz. Yeah.

I mean the best pictures ever. The last one, Kill Me, where he was like passing her like in April Spritz. The thing is, is like, it makes me like annoyed at him because I felt as a fan of the show

like so frustrated with him over the last couple years. It's like, your wife is so much smarter than you, so much more mature than you. Like, she's always right and like you don't listen to her

and you don't even like have the amount of respect that you should have for your wife. Right. And so on one hand, I'm like extremely happy for Katie. I do think like she's gonna thrive get into another relationship and see like what it's really supposed to be like right but when people have been together for so long and we feel a part of

their journey like I do feel like a twinge of sadness like I feel I feel like it's the right thing to do but I just I don't know why I feel so invested it's I've been watching the show I guess for what is it eight to nine years well and that's the thing about Katie and Tom is, like, they were so honest about the relationship and their flaws. I know. Which made them relatable. Yeah, but it also, you know, made them victim to, like, trolls. Totally.

And people saying really mean things. So I will say that I was kind of holding out hope. Like, I was like, maybe just do, like, a, I was like, maybe just do a separation. Right. A break. Maybe just do a part. Maybe this, that, and the other. And then when the, I like I said I

knew about a couple weeks ago I got out there I obviously started learning more about it but then the rumor started and I was like fuck yeah because I knew I was gonna get asked like on the Taylor Shuker show I have like people that work at people on my show and I'm like damn it like and I can't confirm anything but I also don't like lying yeah of course so um and then when we were out there um a news story broke that, like, there had been confirmation from James Kennedy. James, right. Fucking dick.

Yeah. And so, and obviously, like, Katie and Tom, that's the thing, too, is when, like, when I say, like, they're, like, navigating this, trying to figure out how they're going. They weren't withholding. They were figuring it out. Yes. Like, they needed, like, a second to, like, even in their own relationship, talk it through before they're making this, like, public statement.

Right. And then fucking James Kennedy takes it from them. He's such a dick. Every time he makes like a little progress on the show. Like he just one step forward, three steps back. So like when he's commenting on their shit. I'm like get the fuck out of here James. Yeah.

But the very next day it was Ocean's first birthday. And we were at Jack's and Brittany's for it. They hosted it which was very nice of them. That is really nice. Really nice. But it was like very like mermaid-y theme. Cute. It was really cute. How are Jack's and Brittany doing? They. They hosted it, which was very nice of them. It was really nice. Really nice. But it was like very like mermaid-y theme. Cute. It was really cute.

How are Chex and Brittany doing? They're good. Good. They're really good. You know them. You were at their wedding. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, but I mean,

I haven't seen them on TV in a while. Right. And so I just like, I miss them. I always forget that because like they all are so themselves.

And they're so close in real life. Yeah. I like forget that they're not on the show. Who's on? Kristen. Kristen Doty was there

at the party. Good. I'm so glad. I love this group. I had on the show. Who's on? Kristen. Kristen Doty was there at the party. Good. I'm so glad. I love this crew. I had a little kiki with Raquel about James. Oh, was James there or no? No, he was not. Good.

She's thriving. Good. I actually really like her after. Good. She was like making it a point to like kind of say to people like, I get that you have an opinion about me from that and like I get it too and like I'm a different person now and I'm free. Good. So good for her. Sheena looked right through me per usual oh I actually just

saw Sheena at the Academy of Country Music Awards oh shut up yeah and I saw Brock too and I was like shook by Brock's girth in person right yeah he is Jason Momoa yeah Tay. Tay, my Tay, who's a lesbian. Yeah. Was like, he is the hottest man I've ever seen. Really? And it made me furious.

Oh my God. I did never, you know, thought that would be Tay Donahue's type. I know. Right? She likes the thicky thick thing. You are sick.

So, but no, she didn't actually, we talked at the end, but she has every right to look through me. I have talked nothing but bullshit about her for a decade. At least you acknowledge that. But no, she didn't actually, we talked at the end, but she has every right to look through me. I have talked nothing but bullshit about her for a decade. At least you acknowledge that.

But yeah, so, but Katie and Schwartz were there and seemingly arrived together. I mean, they live like around the corner. Do they still live together? They're living together right now, yeah. Good, okay. So, so when I say it's amicable, it's like totally not bullshit. Like they showed up to the party. They were like, you know, a little sadder versions of themselves but like they were still they're still friends they still in the same

friend group I saw some people writing like there's no way they could be broken up because Stassi was just seen like with Schwartz on Sunday and she wouldn't do that it's like no they're all best friends of like 10-15 years yeah I mean Schwartz is gonna be yeah I mean I mean it's like their wedding now they the bridal party was like super big before but like now it's a much smaller guest list right so it's a smaller bridal party but like Schwartz is still like very much a part of like Bo's bridal groom entourage yeah so no they're actually it's it's amicable good okay I'm genuinely not bullshit it's so sad but I do think it's the right decision for everyone involved.

I know. And I'm looking forward to Katie like getting into, when the time is right, like getting into a new relationship and seeing like, wow, you know, I could be valued. I know. I could be with someone, you know, on my level in terms of like emotional maturity. Yeah. And emotional intelligence. Like, I'm excited for her.

She deserves that. And they both deserve to be. Happy. Happy. Exactly. I just. I just honestly, like I just don't think that they are right for each other honestly no I agree and um I think that they both actually see that now now too yeah but I think that they'll still be friends I really I'm I don't think it's gonna end up like me and one's been nobody wants enemies no I have so many I can I'd speak to that very well okay next story is a continuation on a story that's been going on for literal months.

Kanye West harassing and terrorizing everyone on social media. Speaking of enemies. Kanye West is worried Pete Davidson will get Kim hooked on drugs. So Kanye West is now concerned about Pete Davidson's influence on Kim Kardashian. The Yeezy designer went on a social media tear against Pete this Wednesday, saying he's really concerned Davidson will get his ex-wife hooked on drugs. He said, I'm really concerned that Skeet will get my kids' moms hooked on drugs. He's in rehab every two months. It's unclear what made Kanye discuss Pete Davidson's history with drugs. As a comment he screenshotted, that was the picture, was

the way Skeet used Kim's marital status to address Kanye was a sneak diss towards her and she didn't even catch it. Okay. I can't. He's it's every day. It's like a new story about his Instagram. This is like, you think it's like he can't go any lower and then he goes low,

like using someone's substance problems and issues against them. Like that's just so low. Yep. And this whole situation like has just made me like really fall in love with Pete Davidson. I agree. The way he's just like standing up for kim and like being such a stand-up guy and like showing up for the kids like and even being like when he was texting kanye on sunday and saying like dude i'll meet with you he's a stand-up guy and he's like i have mental health so do you so

he like gets it yeah but i mean kanye's just out of control i know and i when this whole journey first started for kanye like being an animal on social media at first i was like you know what I don't think we should discuss it he's obviously you know mental health going through like a bout of you know issues with his mental health right but now it's just been so long we're like I'm so fucking annoyed at Kanye like he might have lost me forever like I'm so done with him he will have me because of college dropout like that album is my everything and that also like ages me but whatever but I do think that especially with peeping like I had I have lived with mental health problems but it's not an excuse to be like this abusive right that actually is shining such a light on it where I

think we are allowed to be like listen I just had um this great guy Jared Lipscomb on my um show and he is like a big part of like the free Britney movement and so a lot of the free Britney people are like on team Kanye because of like Kim stuff in the past like it's very like twisted yeah and he was saying like no I'm sorry but like mental health issues are not a reason to be like abusive towards other people like they're like there is medication there is help at his fingertips especially someone like Kanye who has so much access and then you think of like. Right. How this happens to like so many women.

On like such a small scale. And they don't have like what Kim has. Kim has like. You know. Round the clock security. Right. And all these different. Like people who work for her.

Just all these. Levels of protection. And it's just like. It's not funny. Like I don't enjoy. Like talking about these stories. Whatsoever. Right.

I really have started to like. Fucking hate Kanye. He's. He's. You know. He's a control freak. Yeah. And we can see it every single day. That he's harassing them. It's abuse. It is. And I'm just happy she has peed. And he's like. hate Kanye. He's, you know, he's a control freak. Yeah. And we can see it every single day

that he's harassing them. It's abuse. It is. And I'm just happy she has peed. And he's like, he really is. Everything. Everything. I know.

Like what this started out as like, obviously like a rebound, a fling, but like I'm now feeling like these two could get married. Like. Right. No, like the way. He's the real deal.

And they've been through now like so much trauma together. And that really builds people to, like, bonds, relationships. I can't see them long-term, though. I know I couldn't, but, like, now I can. Maybe. What do you think the deal is with him, though? Because he has these, like, fast and furious relationships,

and then, like, it's, like, super hot and heavy, and they get engaged, and then the second they're engaged, it burns out, like, immediately. Right, and it's, like, it's the burning out on behalf of Pete or of the lady? I mean, you're right. It's got to involve him to some degree.

Pete and Jennifer, you know, Kate Beckinsale, Ariana Grande. Yes. You're right. But this Kim thing has been going on since October. So it's not, like, nothing. I don't know. Do you feel like he got, like, is there any role in which he just got, like, cast for the new Hulu show?

Like, Hulu show. Like, this is his job? Do not spew that Kardashian. That is, okay, that shit bothers me so much. Like, how everything, like, everything, it's, you know, it's so funny. It's actually really similar to what people say about Taylor Swift. Like, how everything she does, like, has to be, like, some sort of calculated thing for her image.

Like, she's never just living. Wait, can people just live? Can kids just have a boyfriend? We're just living our lives. No, and, like, can I live? Yes, she can live. Fine, it's real. It's real.

Did you see the trailer for the Hulu show? Yes. I thought it looked amazing. I had chills. Chills. Everywhere. Everywhere. I've turned the corner on the Kardashians.

I'm like finally fucking on board. Okay, my God, I mean. It's way long overdue, I know. It's 2022. I shouldn't even be allowed. Do you think it was internalized misogyny from you being in the closet? Yes. Okay. Now nobody can come for me right right no like you have a reason let me just let me just drape my gay cloak over myself um okay next story is about rihanna

pregnant rihanna says she's in when she's in her third trimester no says she's in her third trimester and she will be psycho about protecting her baby so rihanna's not playing around about her baby on the way. During a recent interview with Elle, the pregnant 34-year-old singer opened up about her future life as a mom, sharing that she's entered her third trimester. Wow, I thought she was so much earlier on. The artist who's expecting her first baby with A$AP Rocky said that, as a fan of the Real Housewives franchise, she thinks her parenting style to be similar to the Real Housewives of New Jersey's Teresa Giudice.

Oh, geez. Teresa from Jersey does not play about her kids. She will flatten you about those kids, and that resonates with me a lot because I feel like that's the type of mom I'm going to be. Psycho about it. The Grammy winner then quipped that she'll actually be worse than Giudice, adding, you'll talk about my kids? It's over.

Oh, man. That's iconic that she referenced the Real Housewives of New Jersey. She loves Bravo. I know. Heather Gay's her favorite, is she yes heather gay might be my least favorite housewife to ever grace we must discuss well i will say this i've always loved heather whitney i have like my finger on because i'm like i can't quite tell with her i loved with heather and i really loved heather the first season and she's had such a fall from grace like she's the way she acted this entire season was disgraceful and embarrassing and beyond messy

for me it was the reunion that sealed the deal of me being like come on Heather get it together no and you're better than this Winnie and Heather were so bad influence yes Winnie and Heather were so out of control they actually made me feel bad for Lisa Barlow me too I love Lisa Barlow I kind of love her too she can call me a whore all she wants. Yeah. I mean, and I did fuck half of New York. And I like ride or die wholeheartedly for Meredith Marks. See, that's where we have to differ. Really? Meredith Marks?

Yeah. Come on. She's 100% right about everything. Tell me what she did wrong and I'll fight you on it. Her outfit choice. Okay. Agreed. But see, that's what someone would say who doesn't

have a legitimate gripe with i know i know i went low do you have a legitimate gripe with meredith marks because i'll fight you um the way she speaks i mean she's a human xanax again again low blow say something concrete say something wrong she actually did um was not a good communicator about when her dad's uh memorial was what the fuck does she owe these women seriously what the fuck does she owe these women she just comes across like and in the reunion i think we we found hiding something when i'm actually in that relationship not i think maybe she just doesn't want to share her lives with these women because they're fucking evil and they turn on each other every 10 seconds then as andy cohen said to ramona then don't go on

a reality tv show why it's a job a job. And I think she participates. She shows up to everything. Mary shows up to nothing. That's also fair. She shows up to everything and she gives it a go. Okay. She was team Mary. Ride or die for Mary.

The women left her out there to die with her only life raft being Remy. I mean Remy. I'm Mary. Every single woman on the show like turned their back on her. She had no fucking friends. I guess so. We've seen a lot of housewives in that debacle. Why did Stan merit it so hard?

Because she's right. This makes me so upset in our friendship because we are always on, like, opposing sides of housewives. And Bethany versus Jill, where were you? Oh, Jill was at Ocean's Party. Isn't that wild? What? I know. I was, like, shook.

I would say back in the day. Yeah. It's so hard to transport back there. I guess I would have to say Bethany. But like now in retrospect, Jill. I was team Jill from the start. Okay, so I guess we're not totally on opposite islands. No, but even though in the Bethany versus Jill saga, in the moment, like Jill was wrong.

Like she was just being so hard on Bethany. Right. Like for what reason? For what? She was like, I'm being so hard on Bethany right for like for what reason for what she was like I'm the boss of you and you know do what I say dynamic shifted and Jill wasn't ready for it exactly um but back to Rihanna yes please what do you think about her pregnancy style like everywhere she goes her belly's out which I fucking love I'm here for it I think she's such an icon I mean I just like can't believe that someone gets to be her child I know the depths of jealousy that I go into.

I'm like so mad at my mom that she's not Rihanna, you know? I know. That's such a good call. How dare she? And your dad's not A$AP Rocky. Oh, how dare my dad? I mean, I won't even speak to him anymore because he's not a billionaire. Oh.

Like stop wasting my life. Stop. That might be one of the most fucked up things you've ever said. And that's like a long list of things. Saying a whole lot. Oh my God. No, you're right're right like we had this baby's like just like so blessed um and what do you think what is your like now that you know two of my sisters have babies like I think about this a lot like you know posting your baby on social media now like a lot of your friends have a lot of yeah it's like what are your thoughts on it you know I'm like I think I'm totally fine with it especially moving forward I mean like if I'm

going to have this child in my life and pay for all of its shit it needs to pull its own weight and it can do so on social media 100 you know so I that's why I'm also very much here for it I don't know I mean there's sometimes with Tay's only because Tay's sister is private on Instagram where like we post our nephews and I get like pangs of like worry. I know. Wait a second. Does she care? She doesn't care but like I just get nervous about it and then like I'm like God forbid anything bad happened like if it was. Your fault. So I guess we shall see. Yeah.

But like I'm very I'm very cautious with other people's kids like before I post about Hartford I asked Aussie. Right. Like always. Because now I'm like in a family where we don't post our kids on social media. You don't. No. How does how does that work for you?

I mean, I totally respect it, especially when we've been through some of these scandals that we've been through. We've seen like a particularly dark, disgusting corner of the internet. Yeah. One that you would never want to expose a child to. And I totally, I agree with their decision. I just don't know what I'm going to do. What do you think Rihanna is going to do?

I feel like. I think she'll be protective as fuck. I think it's becoming more and more popular for celebrities to not show their kids on social media. And I actually think it's the right decision. People are so fucking crazy. I think that's why she's showing her stomach so much because she's like,

with the flip or Flop drama. I'm not. But Flip or Flop has officially been canceled, thanks to Tarek El Moussa's complicated love life. Okay. Oh, so it's, okay, Tarek from, like, Selling Sunset. Yeah. Okay.

So years ago, there was this couple, Tarek and Christina El Moussa, and they had a show called Flip or Flop. Okay. And they were, like, a bargain basement version of Chip and Joe. Like, they had the tackiest style, their homes are heinous, and they, like a bargain basement version of Chip and Joe. Like they had the tackiest style. Their homes are heinous and they like clearly hated each other. But like I think it did pretty well for HGTV. Okay. Then one day, like it was the perfect family, you know, and they had like multiple kids. One day this news story comes out. It was like a live reporting from TMZ.

Tarek fled the house wielding a gun. Stop. Went into the mountains. There was like a live reporting from tmz tarik fled the house wielding a gun stop went into the mountains there was like a helicopter chasing him it was chaotic stop chaos then we never heard what happened like it was just like silence and then they shortly after got divorced okay well yeah which was just like you know fans of the show were like obviously this is the end of the show it's like a couple right but then they started to do the show like as divorced parents and it was like, okay, fine, whatever. Did they hate each other a little bit less? No.

Like the show totally went downhill, but like they kept the jig up. Okay. Then they both like started having like the most bizarre romantic lives. Like Christina, the wife. Right. Has been like married and divorced, I think once or twice. Stop. She was married to, or married to Ant Anstead, who's now dating Renee Zellweger.

Jesus Christ. It's just so weird. Now she's engaged to another guy whose sister used to host a podcast with Heather, Ray Young. No! It's so twisted. And messy. Somebody once made a TikTok of, like, all the relationships they've had since they've got divorced and how they're all, like, inextricably linked.

Are they torturing each other through dating? I don't divorced and how they're all like inextricably linked. Are they torturing each other through dating? I don't know. So they're just like so beyond messy. Is Heather Bay a pawn? Yes. Really? But all this time the show has just like limped along.

Yeah. Reflecting where they're at in their lives. But as of this week the show has officially been canceled. Are you excited or sad? I mean, I haven't watched the show in years. It's literal trash. But after nine years, the exes Tarek and Christina

Alamosa have vaguely announced that they're ending their popular HGTV series Flip or Flop without giving viewers a real reason why. But now, page six says there seems to be one.

Christina, who's now Christina Hack, initially said she was filled with gratitude to have filmed 10 seasons of the show, but didn't mention her ex by name in the social media post. Okay. She wrote, bittersweet news to announce. It's the end of an era. Next week's episode of Flip or Flop will be the series finale. Oh, wow.

She gave fans like no heads up. Heads up. heads up heads up meanwhile tarik who shares 11 year old and six year old with christina right announced his appreciation for the viewers who supported him over the years and teased a new project he said you watched me beat cancer oh my god i didn't know that you've watched the babies grow into the most amazing little humans and everything in between but i'm not going anywhere and i can promise you that you're gonna love love what comes next. Oh, God. So a source told The Post that following Tarek's marriage to Heather L. Musa, staying on the show made things complicated. The insider said it's not ideal to have two exes who share children

working together so closely while their significant others are just standing by. L. Musa proposed to Heather in August 2020, and they just got married. So I guess, is Tarek trying to make it seem like he's gonna continue on the show alone? It's kind of how it sounds. Because they're both, Heather could swing in. They're both horrible. But Tarek is 100% worse.

Oh, really? Well, he was the one who went into the mountains wielding a gun. Well. And he's the one who's always yelling at Christina on the show about her expensive tile. Stop. So yeah, maybe him and Heather

are gonna do something. Well, I could see that because they really ride or die for each other. And they work together as this like fame thirsty couple. So they're great for each other. And she's also like, she knows from real estate, also like interior design a little bit, probably better than tacky pants over there. That's actually a great point.

So maybe she's just like sliding in. Oh my God. Christina. Will die. Formerly El Moussa, now sliding in. Oh my God. Christina. Will die. Formerly El Moussa, now Hack, will not be well. No. Deeply un. Because like Tariq and Christina were like thirsty in their own right.

But Tariq and Heather are. Next level. Are 2.0. Yep. Like beyond. I mean the People Magazine's drops every single day. Like here is Heather Rae Young's favorite cupcake recipe. Like, they're out of control.

This is my favorite nail polish color. They're out of control. Anything they could get written up about, they do. Heather Rae Young, here's what's in my purse. Like, beyond. So thirsty. I would do here what's in my purse. But do you think their show would be on Netflix?

Yeah. That's the other thing. They're like, so HGTV, you said? Yeah. They're like, level up. Or Discovery Plus. But I don't think Heather Ray Young could do both. No she probably would have to stay on Netflix right contractually speaking.

Yeah and they should do a show on Netflix. Honestly I'd watch the shit out of it. Me too. Right. Heather has like great style. She really does. Great taste. Great taste.

Great taste. You know great taste right? No what's that? Do you want. I can tell you when we're done. Oh okay. Fine. My bridal shower.

Okay. My first marriage. Oh okay. Was literally okay. Fine. My bridal shower. Okay. My first marriage. Oh, okay. Was literally like a hazing session at a sorority. It was horrible. And there was somebody at the shower who was like, it was like my family v. his family. Okay. And every time I'd open a gift from her people, she would go like this.

Great taste. Oh, that's fucking funny. Isn't it great? And every time I'd open one from my people, it was like side eye central. One of my bridesmaids left crying and said I've never felt fatter or poorer. Oh. And I said same. That's terrible.

So now great taste. Well, speaking of Netflix, our fifth and final story, they have a new show. Netflix Reality Games is recruiting the streamers' unscripted stars to compete against each other. So the reality worlds are colliding in a new Netflix competition series where fan favorites from The Circle, Love is Blind, and Too Hot to Handle are going head-to-head on Netflix reality games. The streaming service announced on Wednesday their knowledge, speed, and strength will be put to the test

as they compete against each other across three separate events. Contestants include Too Hot to Handle's Francesca Farago and Harry Jowsey, The Circle's Joey Sasso and Harry Jousing. Okay. The Circles, Joey Sasso and Delisa St. Agath. And Love is Blind's Lauren Speed Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton.

Oh, and Selling Sunsets star Chrishell Stouse will host the three episode series which just launched on Netflix's YouTube channel. Huh.

Wow, who cares? I thought it was going to be on TV. YouTube? That's crazy. Oh, and the teaser, it appears as though love is blind's Matt Barnett hits the ground running um and Amber is there too I mean I love the OG cast of love is blind so I actually don't watch the show but my wife weirdly does because she refuses to watch anything Bravo right so. So she's a huge fan. But I will say this. My boy, do you know Chris Burns, Fat Carrie Bradshaw? He's, you need to meet him.

He's amazing. He just started a podcast with Netflix with one of the girls from Love is Blind season one. Oh, who? Like if I could, well, it's called, we have the receipts. I pulled it up while I was watching here. And I think her name's Lauren.

Lauren Speed Hamilton? I'm looking at right now oh my god yes lauren speed hamilton i fucking love her she was like the best she's married now she's been married to someone she met on the show for like a couple years now it's really cute so but i feel like so the whole show is about reality tv shows on netflix right so i feel like they're starting to kind of do this like MTV real world rules challenge thing. It's feeling like the Disney Channel games. I like it. Where everyone is like getting on different teams and wearing the same colors and competing

and it feels a little stupid and childish, but we'll see. I mean, it's a YouTube show. I didn't realize. I thought it was going to be on the streaming service. So I actually will never see this. I wonder why they're doing that. I mean, they've got some serious slop on there.

So just throw that on. No, it does. They have such shit on fucking Netflix and they're still not going to renew the society for a season two did you ever watch a society uh-uh it was one season of the literally the greatest piece of television I've probably ever watched in my life apocalyptic thingamajiggers yeah yeah yeah apocalyptic thingamajiggers yeah um I won't spoil it for you but it's about like this cast of high school kids who end up in like the most twisted parallel universe. And it's like really crazy.

Okay. And we got left on such a cliffhanger and the fucking Netflix canceled it. It's like the OA. I don't know what that is. What? I'm jealous. Actually, but then I feel sad because it's just like. Don't watch The Society.

And don't watch the OA. But if you did, like, you know what I'm talking about. No, it's so good. And they have such trash on there. No offense. circle give me a break give me a fucking break I know but society season two so give me this don't put this on YouTube give me this on Netflix yeah totally like Netflix has such weird priorities even though that did you see they announced they're doing a um like a real in-person comedy festival how How so? They're doing in LA like three days of comedy.

It's like a comedy festival like Just for Laughs. Oh shit, really? Is that smart? That's very smart. Because they're really at the helm of comedy. If you get a Netflix special

your career is made. I know. On Netflix? Yeah. I know, it's crazy. Gotta get me one of those. We'll get you one of those. Working on it.

Yeah. Okay, well that was with Fast Five. Taylor, thank you for breaking that down. Thank you for sharing some inside scoop from the Vanderpump Rules of it all and Ocean's birthday Yeah. Okay, well, that was with Fast Five. Taylor, thank you for breaking that down. Thank you for sharing some inside scoop from the Vanderpump Rules

of it all and Ocean's birthday party. Ocean is Lala's baby, right? Yes. I get confused between Ocean and Summer because their names are like natural elements

and they were born like on the same day. Is that fair? That's totally fair. When I was a kid, I used to be like hella confused by Julia Roberts

and Sandra Bullock. Like, they were the same person. No, they're so not. They're literally the the same person they're like brunette white ladies were there ever two celebrities julia wait julia roberts and she has red hair like all the time wait i'm sorry lizzie did you hear what taylor just said julia roberts has red hair pretty woman that was like her breakout role she has red hairs what the fuck has red hairs. What the fuck are you talking about? What the fuck are you talking about?

You know what? This is going to be the thing that ends our friendship. Literally. Julia Roberts has red hair? Yeah, like not all the time, but a lot. And Sandra Bullock has like super dark brown hair. Okay, I'm not going to- Maybe Julia has light brown at times.

The thing is- I'm livid. I can't even look at you right now. I'm not going to defend like me as a child being confused by these two ladies because like, sure, it was confusing.

But I will not back down on Julia Roberts having red hair. What the fuck are you talking about? That's red. That's, okay,

first of all, we're looking at one picture where she looks blonde. Well that, yeah, she's ombre. And by the way, when I was a kid,

she had like curly red. That's not red. It's not dark brown. You guys, let us know in the comments, does Julia Roberts have red hair? Now we're going to dive into Dear Toasters, which is our advice segment. If you ever want to write in,

Rude. I'm going to cut right to it. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost five years now and we've been living together for the past two years. He's 30 and I'm 25. Up until I would say a year and a half ago I started to notice that my brothers who are 31 and 27 feel some type of way about

my boyfriend. Didn't think too much into it but then one of my brothers pulled me aside and asked me if everything was okay. I was taken aback because yeah everything was totally fine. He laid out his concerns about my boyfriend saying he's controlling and I don't come around much anymore. Keep in mind, I have a full-time job. I live about 45 minutes outside of the city with no car. And my one brother lives close to my parents and the other brother lives with my parents still.

So, of course, they're all seeing each other. Right. I told my brother it's not as easy for me to come back to the suburbs every time that a random plan pops up. We moved on from the convo. And then about a year later, we were at my brother's wedding overseas, and I know my boyfriend was beyond drunk and stupid and very annoying, but all of a sudden,

my parents also mention how they've had enough of my boyfriend. Let's call him Bob. So now I'm an emotional wreck. One moment, I'm annoyed with how my boyfriend is acting. I'm annoyed with how my boyfriend is acting drunk to finding out all my friends and family feel like they don't like my boyfriend anymore. Now, this is my dilemma to finding out all my friends and family feel like

they don't like my boyfriend anymore now this is my dilemma I love my family and I take what they say seriously but I feel like it has affected my relationship I feel like I cannot move on without both sides being happy and all getting along but I also do not want him out of my life if some sort of understanding does not happen please help what side do you take when family and boyfriends don't get along sincerely a confused and saddened toaster. I mean, this is tough because you're obviously, like, in the relationship. So are you saying your relationship's totally fine because it is or because you're delusional and you're being controlled? Like, you know?

Right, exactly. Like, I have to assume that your family's never coming from a bad place. Yeah, but not a bad place, but maybe a selfish place. And a lot of times it's easier to blame the new partner or even the long-term partner than it is to actually like blame the person in the relationship right like you're not coming around because you live 45 minutes away and everyone lives on the same block like that has nothing to do with your boyfriend nothing but it's easy to point the finger right and then like if he gets drunk once and it's like he's the drunk

one it's like they can't let it go I also hate when people make just like blanket statements like he's controlling really when how just give me an example so like how I was with Meredith Meredith Marks they hate his outfits right exactly it's like give me something concrete you know what I feel like as much as you probably are avoiding these conversations like why don't you sit down with them and be like okay what are you talking about because I'm not seeing what you're seeing so give me some examples of how he's controlling when you felt like I was being controlled right when he wasn't being a good partner you can't just say these blanket statements without proof I've been every not surprisingly I've been in every single role that we just heard in that one scenario so like I have had okay so I was married to husband the partner I've definitely been the partner that was

disliked by the family with husband great taste um I wonder why they didn't like me um I mean we were everybody had skin in the game on that one but my parents started to not like him in addition to like the fighting with his family but he would always do this thing where we would because we're from New York right so we would be around Boston visiting my parents and it's like a six hour drive back so we would leave and he'd be talking about our dinner reservations on a Sunday night and my mom felt like he was excited to go home yeah and I was like no he's just excited about dinner that's like our life is food and then we fight and then we eat food and that's like how we survive and but she felt like he was being rude because she was so sad that we were leaving I mean

it is like it is but she was like before him you'd stay till like late at night and I was like well that's because I was I was like you decide for me right'd stay till like late at night. And I was like, well, that's because I was like, you decide for me. Right. And now after him, I still like want to leave at a certain time. And I still want to eat food on Sunday night. Yeah. So that's the thing. It's that I can't fully blame him.

Like my mom thought my now wife was a seductress when we first got together. And was taking advantage of me in my like new divorcee. So like that's the thing is families can be well-intentioned but fucking wrong. That's true. That's definitely true. So don't like, and especially if you like your partner a lot and it's really good just between the two of you, there's really no need to,

like just don't end it because of your family. Like you also, there's a role that you have to play in like sticking up for your partner. Like sometimes like with Tay's like friends, oh my God, she had this big friend group and I love them. But they're in like now but in the beginning Tay was like everybody's closeted lesbian like girlfriend right so when I came around she was like no longer available to them and they resented me for it but like it

wasn't me but I'm sure they were like Taylor Strecker's controlling she's never around anymore it's her fault right so when you're in a relationship like I don't know it depends on on who it is and what it is but like you're supposed to spend the majority of your time, like, with that person. Yeah. It's, like, healthy and normal. Right, right. Yeah. So I would definitely continue asking questions.

Never stop asking questions. But don't, unless they really give you a good reason. Sounds like you haven't gotten a good reason to doubt your relationship at all. No. And getting drunk one night doesn't count. I agree. Like, we've all been the person. Haven't we all been there?

We've all been the person at a wedding who needed to be carried upstairs by the mayor of a major city. Yeah, that happened to me. I mean, I nearly like took Jackie's wedding down. Oh, you did? I threw a Chanel bag.

Karl Lagerfeld died two days later. You literally left like in an Uber. No, my wife left me at the wedding. I sat at a table with Heather McMahon

and her mans and cried and flirted with your male cousins. Oh, good, good. I was a shit show. Oh, my God. You know what's so funny? Like, there was so much going on at the wedding. Like, nobody even noticed.

You're fine. I harassed a pop icon. We'll leave it at that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, good, good, good, good. Moving on. Hello, Claudia and Taylor. Long-time listener, first-time writer.

I don't even know how to start this so the dear toaster from before the maternity leave made me brave enough and I decided to write in for context I'm married and absolutely in love with my husband

for the last year we've been exploring our sexual fantasies and we both expressed wanting a threesome oh so before sorry before we went

on maternity leave somebody had written in being like this you know she's a crush at this guy at work and like he asked if she would have a threesome with he asked if he if she would have a threesome with him and his wife okay and so she was she was the um the extra yes and so i was all for it i'm like girl you're young just like you might have to leave your job afterwards

but like if you don't like your job it's fine right and jackie was like don't do it don't mix business with pleasure jackie was just being like conservative queen but i was like go for it so that's what she's referring to okay um me more so than my husband we're into the idea he is more into the watching game but will participate if that's what i want the conundrum is that i'm terrified of my public presence we're not famous by any means but oh my gosh what if someone i know was on one of those apps we recently joined one and even paid for a membership getting a lot of likes on our photos with our faces blurred and i'm still too chick and shit to message people back we don't want a relationship with anyone purely just a night of fun i trust my partner and he trusts me so why am i freaking out even though

i initiated this i know it's not something y'all partake in but any advice for a wannabe wild woman i just feel like this would be so fun but i'm so anxious for some reason sincerely i want to be a wild one okay so i am a conservative queen as well yeah shockingly I know conservative queen in practice but like I really encourage other people to live their best most wild lives I'm just so jealous I can't even like begin to think about sharing in the bedroom so like I don't even understand how it would even go right well you also have a different dynamic because this girl's in a hetero relationship right but I mean like when she's saying I mean if I would take a straight man into our relationship if he paid the bills

and wanted to watch us have sex but that's where it ends Brian Kelly but um I mean listen she's curious enough to like take those steps so obviously there's a desire there the only reason she hasn't followed through this because she's nervous she'll see someone that she knows on this app but guess what That person's also on the app. Yeah. So you have nothing to be ashamed of. No. Just do it. Or you know what? Drive like an hour outside your city. Like go to a bar.

Like do it the real, like the you know. The old fashion way? The old fashion way. If you're nervous. If you're nervous about seeing someone on the app. Even though I didn't know they made apps for that. I didn't either. What's it called? Well the thing though is. Really? Maybe you'll find Claudia on there. Literally.

No, by the way, the thing is like, I could never have a threesome. No. No. First of all, I'm like so unbelievably jealous. And I'm so unbelievably famous. Like everyone would be talking about it. So see, I'm so unbelievably jealous. And so unbelievably insecure.

Like nobody can see me naked if you had oh by the way that's the real reason I will never have a threesome if by some Matt like if if I wake up one day it's like freaky Friday and I wake up in the body of like a sickening model sure I'll have a million threesomes until that day absolutely not um if you had to like gun to your head if you had to bring someone into your relationship for one night like a bet in the bed would you bring a man or a woman oh a man for sure both a man for sure you'd be okay with that um I would bring in a man because I'm so competitive right so like we have to bring in the ding-a-ling so that way there's like I'm not comparing my bod right

um I I have a really good friend from kindergarten. Is that who you want to bring in? And he just got married this past like fall. And after the wedding, he married a man. And we played spin the bottle. And I was so jealous. There weren't even words. What happened? They were just like, I've never played spin the bottle in my entire life.

Like, you guys, I could barely handle gay guys and gay women playing Spin the Bottle right so did you have to kiss anyone yeah but I got to kiss my friend Chris was it passionate

and it was kind of like everything because we knew each other since we were in kindergarten and we were in love in kindergarten but we were not

allowed to kiss in kindergarten tongue no tongue I don't do tongue and I said Tay no fucking tongue who did Tay kiss

she got to kiss Chris's husband Zenon was it just the four of you he's gonna fucking kill me that I'mris's husband zenon was it just the four of you he's gonna fucking kill me that i'm saying their names on there just the four of you no it was like a lot of people from the morning oh my that actually sounds so fun it was fun but also not do you know what i'm saying i would leave crying like if ben kissed anyone i would seriously like die but so afterwards tay was like well because we want to have kids and we're gonna look at sperm donors yeah and she was like well if we want to have kids and we're going to look at sperm donors. Yeah. And she was like, well, if we want to have kids with Chris and Zenon, we could do it

the old fashioned way. Right. Biggest fight of our life. Why? So, that's because I say a man, even a gay man, I could get in a fight with.

That is so funny. And I saw Chris recently and I was like, if we come, they're going to be like in France. I was like, if we come to France with you, like no,

no joke, like don't even joke about an orgy. Right. And he was like, no, after Spend the Bottle, I understand like you're psychotic.

Because then the both of you could get pregnant and then you could both have babies for both of you I know right it'd be so cute I know but I can't handle it no of course not but anyway

live your best life girl yeah I think just like if it's something you really want to do like just do it and if you're worried about seeing someone else on the app

just remember that person's also on the app they're worried about seeing other people they're not gonna be looking at you they're gonna be like is anyone looking at me

it's fine just do it it's obviously a fantasy of yours and I feel like you'll be really excited after it's done yeah do it also if you do do it can you let us know how yeah so we always encourage people to write in with updates they never do and it's so fucking annoying they just leave us hanging please write us in with an update all right here's our third and final one I'm seeking some friendship advice I've met my friend over almost

two years ago out drinking one night for some background I'm in my mid-twenties and my friend Anna is in her early thirties. Anna recently broke up with her toxic boyfriend and moved out of his apartment to live by herself. Before moving out we probably saw each other every other weekend. Now that she lives by herself all of her free time isn't consumed by him. She's been up my ass and I cannot handle it. She texts me every

single day and sometimes multiple times a day. I'm not the biggest texter. You? The look look i have a long distance boyfriend and we don't even text as frequently as she texts me the texts have uh have started to give me the friendship ick it's really the only way i can describe it i got this term from watching too much love island every little thing is starting to annoy me with her now and i don't know what to do do i just start ignoring her texts i've tried this before and she then she thinks i'm mad at her i don't think i feel comfortable telling her because I don't want her to think that I'm not

there for her I attached a recent text thread so you can see what I mean any advice is appreciated okay the girl wrote hope you had a good night wish you guys were here tomorrow night love you sleep well that's at Thursday 950 okay Friday 520 p.m. hi baby Saturday 913 hope you're having a good weekend my babe sunday 11 56 love you yeah that's like that's like a guy who like wants that's really look like that's oh wow in this life there's two kinds of people. People who have overwhelmingly blue text messages and people who have overwhelmingly gray text messages.

If your message threads with your friends and family are all blue, meaning you're the one who sent them, you need to reevaluate your life and spend less time on your phone and maybe realize that people in your life don't fuck with you. And if you have so many gray messages, that's like, oh my God, I'm so popular. Maybe I should respond to more people in a timely fashion. How many unopened text messages do you have on your phone right now today yeah

want to take a guess yeah guess 764 more 1212 oh my god that's psychotic you want to know how many i have 11 because they've acquired while i've been sitting here and i'll open them after and respond to them accordingly. Um, listen, a lot of that's from like Drizzly. I order a lot of alcohol. Yeah, I know. But why don't you just open them and then like, why do you have to leave them unopened? I don't know. I feel like they're like, somehow they're going to hack my identity.

Oh my God. You are showing your age here at the morning toast. Oh man. Well, let's have this girl. Like the thing is, do you want to be friends with this girl in perpetuity? Or you've seen what you've seen and you're good? Because if you're done with her, just stop answering. But it is kind of rude to leave someone when they're going through a hard time.

I know. You could be next. It's always easy to be high and mighty when things are going well for you. But we're all minutes away from an impending something. Losing our job, breakup, mental breakdown. And so if you're not there for the people in your life who are going through a hard time, they're not going to fucking be there for you either. And karma's a bitch.

And nothing, I always think when things are going well for me, I'm like, oh, something bad's about to happen. I know. And you know, like something bad like went on in my personal life, like, like, like eight months ago. And now I feel like, oh my God, it's only been eight months since like something bad has happened to me. Like I'm ready for my next bad thing. Oh God, I know, I get it. It's a terrible way to live. I feel like oh my god it's only been eight months since like something bad has happened to me like I'm ready for my next bad thing oh god I know I get it it's a terrible way

to live I feel like maybe develop some sort of a system like you can take the weekends off but then like give her like a phone date like I don't know on a god like a Wednesday or something yeah give her maybe something because she's going through it right now but like I also understand like especially on the weekends yeah just know she's reaching out because she like needs someone to talk to like isn't that sad? Yes, it's sad, but it's also responsibility and obligation. It's like, nothing triggers me more than obligation. A burden.

Like, I love a bitch that's like, hey, let's do something, but also, we also don't have to. Yeah, I also love a friendship, and I feel like our friendship is like this. Totally. We never need to talk. We really don't talk. Never. But then it's like, we'll have to go for, like, you know, a bi-monthly meal to catch up on everything. Yes, but then we do.

Yeah, and I just don't really believe like friendships. If you live in the same city as the person, friendships should be maintained via text message. Like you don't need to be texting your friends all that much unless there's like something going on. It's like let's go out to eat. We'll catch up on everything we could have texted about for a week. Yep. I had a friend from college. We're not friends anymore.

I asked her to please downgrade me because she required too much. Yeah. And there was a point where she was going through something hard, genuinely hard. A parent was passing away. It was awful, horrible, horrible. And one of our mutual friends, like, said to me, hey, something just happened. There was, like, addiction involved. So that's, like, why it was, like, such a long, drawn-out thing.

And our friend was like, oh, something bad happened with so-and-so's parent. Just text her. So I texted her. I said, hey, so-and-so told me about something that happened how are you and she said to me you know that's really annoying that someone had to tell you and I said why I'm like I didn't know like if you need me please let me know and I will be there for you and she was like no I need friends that check in so frequently that they know what's what I'm going through and I said well girl like I I want to be there for you but I can't like

change my complete genetic makeup right yeah so some people are like that like and I have a lot of friends who I actually feel bad who like text all the time like they're so good and like if it weren't for them like maybe we'd never keep in touch but like for me I'm just not that girl like text me we'll go to lunch and we'll catch up on everything yeah if you need me you need to let me know you need me yeah me too and I and I'm never shy about, like, telling my friends, like, I need you to show up to this. Exactly. So with this girl, like, I guess just evaluate where you want to have this friendship be at. But also don't be a bitch because she's obviously going through something.

Yeah, exactly. Would it kill you to have a little compassion? Maybe give her, like, I don't know. What should she give her? Once a week? Xanax? She should give her Xanax. Like, in-person hang once a week?

That's a lot. We don't even hang out that much. And you're, like, one of my best friends. I know. So what should she give? Once a week that's a lot we don't even hang out that much i know i know so what should she give once a week phone call fine for like the next two months facetime yeah facetime because you could like you know answer emails while also like still being a you know exactly and you don't have to like walk out your front door right right right which is the worst the hardest part um well that was dear toasters and if you guys ever want to write in, the email is deartoasters at gmail dot com.
