Good morning Millennials! Welcome back to The Morning Toast. Happy Monday. Hope everyone had an amazing weekend. I am thrilled, overjoyed, and humbled to be sitting here with icon Jew, author, former slash current Real Housewives of New York, hello Leah McSweeney. Thank you so much for being here finally. I'm so happy to be here. Overjoyed doesn't even begin to express it. Thank you. It doesn't. Thank you. Well, your timing couldn't be better because we spent much of last week talking about Real Housewives of New York and the drama and the two shows. And I'm curious if you know currently what that means for you.

I don't think any of us know what that means for us. Right. Yeah. Well, because you, I could see you being eligible technically for both shows. Right. That's true. The new crew. I am eligible for both. Right. Because you're like young and hot. But where do you think I could see you being eligible technically for both shows. Right. That's true. The new crew. I am eligible for both.

Right. Because you're like young and hot. But where do you think I'm going to end up? Where would you want to see me? I'm curious. I think I would want to see you on the new show. The reboot. Not the legacy.

Yeah, because it's always felt like two different groups. Like since you're so much younger and you're really so different than the other women. Yeah. And I do think that like if the show was built around you your friends people your age people you know socially I do think it would just be like a fresher dynamic got you that's just my I all no no I I like your opinion um I also I'm like oh my god though if like Dorinda's coming back and if it's then it's like I know you feel left out because I felt I had so much fun on season 12 with them. I personally feel like Dorinda is not the vibe.

And I do think I really believe that you would be the star of the new reboot. Do you have a preference? I don't. Honestly, I don't. I found out the news. Obviously, I was surprised, but I'm just kind of like, I'll see what happens.

I'm very like, I don't, you know. Laissez-faire. It's just not in my control, so I'll just see what happens. Do you love being a Real Housewife? It has so many perks, and it has also some downsides, like everything. That's true. But overall, definitely, it's been a positive thing. Net-net.

For sure. Yeah. Well, you now wrote a book, and obviously that's a huge platform for you to promote your book. Exactly. It's called Chaos Theory. Yes. Tell us a little bit about it. Chaos Theory, Finding Meaning in the Madness, One Bad Decision at a Time.

It's a memoir. Like, I'm not going to say it's not prescriptive. It's maybe there's some part prescriptive in there. But it really chronicles, like my, from teenage delinquency to like now basically. And I touch on a lot of subjects. Have you been told that you're too young to write a memoir? No. Oh, I feel like that's something people say. Really? Yeah. I mean, I'm almost 40. No, but you look like what? 11? Oh, okay. You look great. Oh yeah. Okay. Okay. I'm just bettering you up because honestly, I'm so excited that you're here.

Your timing couldn't be better coming off the heels of the Real Housewives drama and also your recent conversion to Judaism, which I'm just obsessed with, obviously, because I'm a very proud Jew. Yes. And, you know, being a Jew is not easy. Like, I should just tell you, like, we are extremely disliked by a lot of people. I'm finding that out. And I'm curious, like, who the fuck would make that make that decision to like willingly join a group of people with so much

trauma i know i you know i'm realizing that you guys i don't know i didn't understand how much you guys were disliked until i started telling people i was converting oh really not that i hadn't been aware of anti-seemitism and things like that, obviously. But telling people, like sometimes I get a, why? And I'm like, why not? What if I said I was going to be born again Christian or Buddhist? I don't think I'd get those kinds of like, why? Same responses. Yeah, exactly.

And of course, when I first said I was converting Orthodox, people were like, ah. Which I didn't. I converted conservative at a conservative shul. But also the confusion, like people think Orthodox is like scary. And meanwhile, my Orthodox rabbi is like the chillest, coolest dude I'm still friends with. People have it all backwards and they just are not informed. And you know who I blame? Netflix.

Oh my God. I know. Of course. I just think like every time they highlight a Jewish community, it's like the worst outskirt part of it. And people who've never met a Jew in their life, that's all they see. They're like, oh, it's, you know, anti-women. Women are right, exactly.

It's beyond melodic. I can't. I'm so glad you're joining the tribe. I just feel like we're really lacking in the cool celebrity, proud Jew department. I'm a proud Jew. I'm obsessed with celebrities, and I'm constantly finding out celebrities are Jewish because they never talk about it. So lame and so embarrassing for them.

So weird. Why would you not? So it's been less than a week since you've been full? Yes. I had my mikvah on wednesday of last week i believe did you enjoy the mikvah experience i loved it which one did you go to uh upper west side okay i've been to the one on the upper east side it's literally like a stunning spa experience yeah this one was very nice for those who don't know mikvah is the in sex in the city when charlotte

goes into the the bath so you do it to convert you also do it um before you get married which is when i did it and it was like a very, like it's not what I expected. But you could still keep doing it now that you're married. I was planning on keeping like doing NIDA, which is like, I'm not going to get into it, but it's like a monthly thing for your period, like when you are married. But I just like never found the time and I'm like upset with myself that I never like continued on with it. It's just so like the bath was so warm.

And it's just, I was like, is this real? It was surreal. Yeah. Because I've been thinking about this moment for so long. Yes, I've been working towards it for two years, but it's actually been a lifetime. Yeah. And it's been since my early 20s

that I've played with the idea of converting to Judaism. So it was just finally like doing something for myself and like actually taking steps to create a life I want for myself. And it was, you know, it's a pretty big deal. No, it was, it's so cool. Are you going to raise your daughter Jewish? So, she's Catholic. She goes to Catholic school.

Oh. But, yeah, exactly. But I'm getting her DNA done because I have a feeling her paternal great-grandmother was a French Jew that was hiding, like, the Jewish test. I don't know until I get her DNA tested, and I literally just, I'm sending it out today. Oh, that's so interesting. Yeah, I did mine. I'm just Irish and Italian. That's it.

I did mine. I'm 99.9% Ashkenazi Jewish, and my husband was 100. Isn't that crazy? That is crazy. Like, we are so boring. Okay, I'm so excited that you're here to join. We're gonna talk all things lots of drama obviously. Everyone is talking about what went down in the Oscars last night. And honestly the Oscars were like some of the most boring pieces of shit

I've ever watched until that moment obviously. I was gonna turn it off too, but something in my brain was like, well let's just watch it. We have to do the show tomorrow. And the world is honestly never going to be the same after what happened. Like, everyone's talking about the Will Smith, Chris Rock drama. We're obviously going to talk about it. And just other news that went down over the weekend.

So without further ado, I think it's time that we dive into the past five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

And I think a lot of the things we hold inside, once we let them go and just say them, speak them, it makes us feel so much better.

And that's what we try to do here at The Morning Toast. You know what they say, you're only as sick as your secrets. So fucking true. Okay, so let's just obviously talk about the first story of the day, which is the Will Smith of it all. So if you were watching the Oscars, like this is how it went down. You were watching and you were bored and you were like, hmm, should I turn this off? No, let's keep watching. And then Chris Rock were watching and you were bored and you were like, hmm, should I turn this off?

No, let's keep watching. And then Chris Rock came out and you're like, oh my God, finally someone funny. Love him. Love, love, love, love. Yeah. So he's talking. He makes a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith. She is bald.

And he said he's looking forward to the G.I. Jane 2 movie because G.I. Jane has a shaved head. They cut to Will and Jada. Will is laughing and Jada. Will is laughing, and Jada is rolling her eyes, like, obviously annoyed. And then, seemingly out of nowhere,

Will Smith is on stage. And he slaps Chris Rock. So I was confused. It was a slap or a punch? In the pictures being circulated, his hand is flat. But it looked like a punch, right? And Chris Rock was, like,

taken aback physically. Yes, but you know what? Also, Will Smith looks much bigger than Chris Rock. And Chris Rock could fucking handle it. Like he did not. He just, you know, kind of went back. And then he. A hundred percent.

And I think the viewers at home were like, oh my God, the Oscars and their moronic like fake comedy. I thought it was a hundred percent staged. Because really, you're right. Chris Rock like didn't Rock like did not move. It was, yeah, no, he didn't really,

didn't rock him. And then my TV went silent for 15 minutes and I was like, what the fuck? And I'm like rewinding. I thought I was broken and then they cut

to Will Smith and the volume was off but you can hear him saying, keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth. Yeah. And then the volume finally comes back

and Chris Rock is like, oh my God, I just got bitch slapped by Will Smith on TV. And he continued on with his monologue but he was like visibly and then the volume finally comes back and chris rock is like oh my god i just got bitch slapped by will smith on tv and he continued on with his monologue but he was like visibly um shaken chris rock is not one to mince words and he was like fumbling over the teleprompter obviously but at that point i think a lot of us didn't know that it was real we were all just collectively like what the fuck and then i guess the telecastcast here in America was muted for about 10 or 15 seconds.

But they were airing it in Japan and Australia. And then people started to share on social media. It wasn't muted in those countries. And the real story came out, which was it was 100% real. He got up and slapped him and then walked off stage and screamed at the top of his lungs twice. Keep my wife's name out of your fucking mouth. So I haven't want, I haven't watched

the Oscars in years. I haven't really watched, I can't deal with the celebrities giving their speeches. I couldn't agree more. It's like extra woke, like annoying, virtuous, like bullshit.

Hypocritical. Like I just can't deal with it. I like seeing the outfits, of course, but they're just not fun anymore. So I just don't watch it. But, like I went to a comedy show

and said last night. So, but I did see the clip of course and I mean Chris Rock's a comedian yeah he is there to make jokes and make fun of people like get a fucking life Will Smith I don't know I'm not into it at all obviously the backlash for those who don't know is uh if it wasn't listen if it wasn't a comedian and someone just randomly said that, then I get it. But in this context, that was like a total oversensitive bitch move. And you know what?

I don't even think like debating back and forth about whether the joke was appropriate or not is worth it. Because once you put hands on someone like you're wrong, you're a hundred percent wrong. You're done. You're done. He's a comedian. He's a comedian.

And you know, what's so funny is that like Will Smith, like actually did laugh at the joke. Like, and then he saw Jada and was like oh shit so i guess the only redeeming quality in my opinion is like we love a man who stands up for his wife of course but i'm sorry like being violent is never the answer doing it on tv this is like a family-friendly telecast there was kids in the audience like it's so not appropriate it's so not cool and like it's making me like hate will hate Will Smith. Yeah.

If I was, listen, if I was at a bar with my man and someone said something to me and he punched him, I'd be like, I'm sucking your dick all night tonight. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like, we're, yeah, that's happening. But this was just, this was immature. Yeah. It seemed just like a very fragile man that like couldn't handle himself well.

Yeah. That's what it seemed like. And then. And I love Chris Rock. I know. And he's a legend. He didn't deserve that. And he was poking fun at everyone.

And, you know, she's been open about her. She has alopecia. And so that's why she has a shaved head. And yes, of course, if you want to get into the nitty gritty, maybe it wasn't sensitive. I'm almost 100% sure he didn't know she had a helipesia. I didn't even know that. I didn't know either. And I do this for a living.

So if there was an issue with the joke, a conversation is the perfect place for that off camera. It was not the place. And then I found myself rooting for Will Smith because I'm like, I need to hear from this man. And the only way I'm going to hear from him is if he wins. And he did win. Oh my God.

And he made a speech. Yeah, I watched part of that too he was extremely emotional and I just really felt like we were watching like the man in the midst of a breakdown like he was it looked like that you know what you got to go to Keith McNally's Instagram and see his breakdown of Will Smith's speech Keith McNally's like the best Instagram he's you know I'm talking about right I do not he owns Balthazar and Pastis. Oh, okay. Yes, but his Instagram is wild.

Oh my God, gotta follow. It's, you have to follow him. You're going to love it. Okay. Love it. And what did he say? He said that it was the most self-indulgent, self-important speech. He's like, you know, cries on cue anyway, so you can't trust him.

I mean, he was not, he didn't mince his words. So the speech was weird because he obviously like, he was not he didn't mince his words so the speech was weird because he obviously like he was circling the drain like talking about how richard williams who he plays in the movie king richard venus and serena sister and then they cut to venus and serena and venus's nipple was hanging out like it was so chaotic it was chaos um he said you know richard williams was a fierce defender of his family so he's like he never really addressed he apologized he apologized to everyone except for chris, he never really addressed. He apologized. He apologized to everyone except for Chris Rock.

He apologized to the Academy. He apologized to everyone in the room. And it was just so messy. Honestly, I wasn't able to follow the speech at all. I wasn't sure like what the overall message was. I just feel like Will Smith like might be going through it right now because he was acting like a fool. Yeah, he's going through it. Not an excuse, but he's going through it right now because he was acting like a fool yeah he's the whole night not an excuse but he's going through it 100 yeah to have that much rage and anger in you like to get up and punch someone over a joke that i mean that's what they're there to do right you know unsafe

no and i do have to say i thought the three hosts regina wanda and amy schumer were hilarious isn't it crazy how like think about will smith and jada pickett like how much money they have like will smith has everything and he's still like angry yeah like or it can get that angry right and you know what i was thinking um oh fuck what was i gonna say that oh oh i imagine that the discourse we would all be having around this conversation would be enormously different if it was a girl who got up there and slapped someone like she would be psychotic she would have been thrown out like oh yeah you know and it's just like yes she would have been unhinged right a mad woman oh yeah completely so the whole and and i don't know that everyone then giving him a standing ovation and it wasn't like it was nothing the police were there and they asked

chris rock if he wanted to press charges and he he said no. Of course. Pete Diddy has at the after party. He was like doing interviews. He said that the two of them have settled it. But it's just like it's like the craziest thing. It is pretty crazy. And then their son, Jaden, took to Twitter and just tweeted, that's how you do it. But unclear if he was referring to his dad's speech or his dad's slap. Unclear. It was the slap heard around the world it was so crazy he's talking about this slap i think so too

yeah um and then the academy had to release a statement a lot of people are saying he might have his oscar taken away they say they don't they do not condone violence they released something on twitter just being like we're here to celebrate all the nominees, et cetera, et cetera. And we don't condone violence. I don't think they should take his Oscar away. Me neither. But I also think it's just like, it doesn't make him look good. No, it doesn't. And like, I'm curious if this is like going to be a thing for him.

Like he's going to have to take a year off, you know, like release a documentary or something. Right. Like how, you know, every time you go through a scandal, it's like silenced and documentary. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like there's a lot of people. What's that cannibal guy? Also, that's exactly what Kevin Hart did, you know every time you go through a scandal it's like silence then documentary yeah um i don't know i feel like there's a lot of people what's that cannibal guy or also that's exactly like kevin hart did you know right and then the guy who said he was like wanted to eat women no oh yeah yeah army hammer yeah it's always silence then documentary he's been gone yeah he's working

on himself but he's also in a movie in an upcoming movie so it's like no one actually cares like that you know yeah that's what it's been a year and now he's back and he doesn't want to eat women anymore 100% 100% yeah um so this was just like the craziest thing I like really can't get over it I honestly couldn't sleep like not to be dramatic I was just like what the fuck just happened like nothing interesting really ever happens at the Oscars I feel like this is just as crazy maybe crazier than like the whole La La Land Moonlight thing oh god I did watch that yeah that was. And in real time we were all like what the fuck. That was weird. And like no one was able to talk about anything else for like years. Yeah.

So honestly as a pop culture junkie I was just like not gonna lie living for every moment and the Oscars in my opinion have never been more relevant. Did you see a lot of the movies? I haven't seen any of those movies I haven't even heard of them. Same. I'm like where am I Same. But I started googling some of them and I want to see

Coda. That sounds cool. That's the What I Took Away is the movie that I have to see. I have to see that too. I did see Tammy Faye with Jessica Chastain. I need to watch that. I need to watch it. I'm obsessed with her. It was unreal. Like it was, she was amazing. The movie was good, but she was incredible which takes us to the next story, which is the list of

winners. In the main categories, Jessica Chastain did win and she beat out like a sickening group of ladies. Wait, is Jessica Chastain playing Tammy? Tammy Faye, yeah. Oh my God. Wow.

I need to watch it now. She's irrecognizable. And also, Tammy Faye won for like her hair and makeup and costume because you will not recognize Jessica Chastain.

I mean, I saw the like pictures and stuff and I had no idea it was Jessica Chastain who I love. No, because she's like a goddess and she did not look anything like herself. It was crazy.

She's a ginger goddess. She's a ginger goddess. She's Jackie's like idol. Like your sister. Yeah. So the big categories, Will Smith obviously won for best actor. Best actress was Jessica Chastain.

Best original song where Beyonce was nominated and Billie Eilish. Billie Eilish won and her and her brother were like super cute, like accepting the award. How nice to be able to go. You're really close with your sister. Like I was thinking that when I was watching the red carpet with like Chloe and Halle,

like they get to go everywhere together. Like how nice is that? That's fun. Like you just have like a friend everywhere you go who's like just as famous as you. Like you get invited to all the cool parties. You don't have to get like a plus one, you know, because they're already invited. I mean, I know I'm actually trying to think about imagining that with my sister. We are close, but sometimes we need our space.

Does your sister live in New York? Yeah, she does. How often do you see your sister? Like a couple times a week. Okay. Yeah. It's the best, right? I mean, she's my everything.

She's great on the show. Oh, yeah, I know. Does she like filming? Well, she, I mean, it's funny because she's so herself. I mean, she literally doesn't change at all. Like in front of all the cameras. I think that, I don't, I don't know if she loves it. Do you, when you wrote your book, I'm sure you talked a lot about your family.

And did you give them like a copy of the manuscript? I gave them a, yeah, we discussed beforehand. And did they get a veto? There was a couple of things my mom had me change. Oh my God. Speaking of your mom, you went viral on TikTok recently and I was cracking up because I honestly didn't know if you were serious or not. Yeah, you made this TikTok saying, oh, I just flew my whole family out.

I paid for this amazing vacation. They think we're here to have fun, but I'm actually going to stage an intervention on our generational trauma and like all the problems in our family. And you went so viral. It was so funny. What did you end up doing? So I was joking. But at the same time, my mom's a therapist.

And anytime our whole family's together, it's therapeutic. I mean, we talk about our dysfunctionality and our feelings and our issues. And we can't help it. We're all very over the top or whatever, eccentric, I guess. I don't know. So I made that. It was a joke. I didn't just bring them there for that, obviously. It was actually supposed to be kind of a healing trip for my mom losing my

grandmother. And yeah, my mother said something like, I don't know how many more Christmases I have left. And I was like, oh God. And I gutted. So I normally don't even spend Christmas with my family. I always go to Jamaica alone with Kiki. So this was like a big special trip to be together. And it was a joke. Yeah. But then I ended up kind of talking to them and then putting that up. Well, TikTok was like lit aflame. They were like, what was the overwhelming consensus from the comments? I think some, it was like 50-50. Like some people were like, you're the biggest narcissist for doing that. Meanwhile, I actually like went out of my way to do something nice for my family and I was joking.

But then other people were like, good, but but you're never probably gonna get what you need from them you know um and then I ended up talking to them about some stuff yeah and I didn't get what I needed was no it was not productive you know what it was fine that it it was good it was productive but that kind of work you have to do on your own anyway right so what was it like growing up with a mom as a therapist it was um I mean I like started doing drugs at age 14 oh right I forgot about that so it was that's all you know like I don't yeah I don't I wouldn't blame it I'm not blaming on her being a therapist or anything like that but for whatever reason I was like really rebellious and really had a huge appetite for self-destruction you know it's so crazy because on the show last week we had Josh Peck who was obviously like a

child actor and now he's like a successful influencer and he went through four years of crazy addiction um and it's just so crazy when you meet someone like our only impression of you is like you on the other side of your addiction yeah well I mean but you saw me drinking on season oh that's true but like it was like fun and you were amongst like so many alcoholics like you on the other side of your addiction yeah well I mean but you saw me drinking on season oh that's true but like it was like fun drinking you were amongst like so many alcoholics like you were just one of the girls you know it wasn't like well when you're surrounded by other people getting blackout you weren't even crazy right so it's just so weird because for me like you're so like just calm and you have this like very um serene aura about you so I honestly can't picture it was the same with Josh that's all the med. I can't picture you in that delinquent space you described.

I was, I was, if my daughter did 10% of what I was doing, I would be in a grave. Right. I don't know how my parents did it. And how old is your daughter now? 14.

Oh damn. Yeah. And she's a great, she's great. Yeah. She's great. What, so when you say an addict, were you daughter now? 14. Oh, damn. Yeah, and she's a great kid. She's great, yeah. She's great. So when you say an addict, were you doing drugs? Yeah.

What kind of drugs? Crystal meth, PCP, acid, ecstasy. Because I was a raver. I was a club kid. Right, club kid, yeah. So that's what you were doing at the clubs. It was normal. That is so crazy, crystal meth.

Special K. Like ketamine? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like K-holes. Yeah. No, when Crystal meth. Special K. Like ketamine? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like K-holes. Yeah. No, when you go out in New York, like everyone's doing drugs, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone do crystal meth.

Yeah. Well now it's very popular in the gay community. Oh, is it? Very, very, very. But back in the day it was like, like have people do like Coke, like it's nothing kind of, even though they should really be careful because the fentanyl is crazy left and right but back then it was just a club drug because you know you'd have to dance for hours 10 a.m how else are you gonna do that how does one do crystal meth you do it i mean you inject it no i didn't but you can yeah like you would just sniff it some people smoke it i

didn't do that interesting yeah wow that's so so how long? Because you're at the club. I mean, so I guess you could go into the bathroom and shoot up. But bringing your needles is like very laborious. Yeah. So how long have you been off drugs? Oh, I've been like off drugs for a long time. God. And you are now totally sober when it comes to alcohol.

I'm totally sober. I don't even smoke weed. Which I actually in my book at that time was like, I'm still, I smoke weed, but I'm completely sober now. And in your mind, like what, what is different? I mean, I'm sure it's a lot of, but like what's different about day to day life as a totally sober person? I mean, I, it's like, I mean, like, look, I converted to Judaism. I'm on a different crazy thing. It's like, yeah, you know, mine crazy now is much different than what it used to be. But the issue is I do have to like check myself because somehow I'm still like maybe have this need for excitement and chaos. Like I talk about, right. But I have to

like fill it up with other things. Right. You know, a lot of hobbies. Uh, I do have a lot of hobbies and there, and it's kind of crazy how many different things I've taken up since I got sober years ago. Like ice skating, I became like an adult things I've taken up since I got sober years ago. Like ice skating. I became like an adult ice skater. Not like, I'm not like professional. I can do like a little waltz jump.

I was going, no, I was going and taking lessons. Where? At Chelsea Piers. I'm shook. Yeah. And I would always see,

um, Jonathan Van Ness there because he would be taking the lessons in the morning at the same time. And I was like, Oh shit. Um, but it's amazing. Like really,

you know, listen, drugs are fun if you're not an addict and an alcoholic, you know, and if you can do them recreationally, I totally believe like, listen, like taking acid.

I was like, I had spiritual experiences. Like I'm, I'm not against it, you know, um, for people, if it works for them,

but, but have, but being an addict is like fucking dark. And it's like a lifelong thing. It never goes away. Right. I can't like just start. I can't have a glass of wine. Really?

Yeah. No, never. Did you find being amongst the women at the beginning of your journey on Real Housewives of New York to be really testing your... So it was interesting because I had relapsed a few months before I got casted or knew I was going to be on the show. And then I was like, oh my God, I'm going to be on a reality show and I'm drinking again. I know that that's a disaster waiting to happen, but I just couldn't stop.

I wasn't ready. But I'm... I can't lie. I'm happy that the year I did drink, I was drinking with like Dorinda and Sonia and Ramona. That's kind of fucking awesome. It's them. It's them. It is them. When we see the women,

like in some of the States, we've seen them in like late at night. How many drinks are we having? Oh my God. Like 20. Yeah. Like it's just all night. They're not, they're like tanks.

It's there. I've never seen anything like it. Like I remember one night, like me and Luann went out and after filming we were out to like four in the morning and we had to we had to fucking show up at nine a.m i took her she took me to some place on the upper east side i took her to one oak like oh it was at one oak it was it was awesome and then like the next morning we had to show up at like nine a.m for us you know to film and it was when Ramona I said bitch I elevate the shit it was

that I think it was it was that I had to show up that day I was so hung over I show up and like oh I'm sorry no it was after Halloween Halloween Luann shows up and is like bright as a daisy like nothing like no issues and I'm like like

no makeup like one of my producers is like what the fuck like you look like shit you know and I'm like how do they do this no she's next level i don't know how they do it that's and especially at their age because really the older you get the worse your hangovers get you would think so you would think but no they're machines no machines ramona is the best though because she never even gets drunk sloppy no she sloppy. No, she gets drunk, but like she doesn't, it's different. Like she doesn't like get like in trouble. Yeah, that's true. I mean, she shits all over.

What are you? Yes, she is known. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if one. I mean, that's pretty bad. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the people who writes in on Unburden Yourselves is Ramona because people are always talking about getting drunk and shitting their pants. Apparently, it's like a big thing. Thank God that never happened to me.

I mean, it came close. I just recovered from the stomach flu. So I can no longer say that that hasn't happened to me, but, um, it wasn't out of my control. It was. No, it's happened to me with stomach flu. It's not drunk. Yeah. There is a stomach flu going around.

I don't know if you know that. And I just want to encourage you because I didn't know that it was going around. I just want to encourage you to like be really safe. Okay. Like it's, it's no fucking joke. I know. No, I know.

I saw you like laid up in bed, but I have an eye. By the way, I have an IV vitamin guy for you. That is. Oh yeah. You were telling me. He's the best.

Okay. Let me know. He's like my little secret. Like he's, there's really nothing an IV can't fix. Yeah. I love it. But I said I was getting them so much when I had COVID and I think it like made me crazy.

When did you have COVID? What strain? I had the, um, I think I got it at Bill Bouquet much when I had COVID. And I think it made me crazy. When did you have COVID? Which strain? I had the, I think I got it at Bill Bouquet. So I had the Upper East Side Bill Bouquet strain. Oh, so it was like the really snobby strain. Yeah, it's like that really rich strain. Oh, man, that's so funny. Okay, well, we're going to get into more news.

Some people are like really against it. Oh, I would fucking do it in a heartbeat. I just don't change it. What is your policy on eating in bed? Some people are like really against it. Oh I would fucking do it in a heartbeat. I just don't do it like I haven't been doing it but like I'm totally with that. Yeah me too. I think there's literally nothing better than posting up in bed eating. Yeah. But if I have a dog and I know you have pets. I don't have a TV in my bedroom. What? I know.

So. Is that an intentional like thing? Yeah I think just like one. My daughter has one in her room that she uses for video games, but I feel like two is enough. I can't have one in my room or maybe I'd be watching it too much. I've been all about, I'm really trying to do sleep hygiene lately. What's that? It's really turning your lights down after sunset,

making sure everything is, so your circadian clock can be like a caveman's. Interesting. Yeah. Is it working? I think so. I've been sleeping well, like not being on your phone. I know.

It's all about that blue light. Yes, that actually is a real thing. It's a real thing. I know. Trying to read before bed maybe instead of watching TV. I haven't been great at it the last couple nights. What's the last book you read? The Anatomy of Anxiety.

Ooh, dark. It's great. Yeah. No, it's so good. I'm not into like, I just like to read like fictional books about rich people.

Now I'm reading a fictional book called Lucky. Cute. Yeah. Do you have a Kindle or are you a hardcover girl? Hardcover.

Yeah, no. It's just like, who has a space? We live in New York, you know? Yeah, exactly. I don't have space for books. That's true. Oh, I love, I know, I have so many books.

I know. And it's like, what do you do with them? I know they're right now on my TV media console. Me too. That's like where they are. Like, they're all there. Literally same. Okay, let's keep going with the stories because Kim Kardashian's on Good Morning America this

morning and Robin Roberts is asking the tough questions. She's asking her to clarify her get your fucking ass up and work comments. Obviously, that little soundbite went so viral on TikTok and all other platforms, but TikTok as well. And people were like really hella pissed at Kim being like, you're so privileged. What are you telling us to work? Like, you're a billionaire. You grew up with a maid. And then Robin Roberts asked her about it.

And I feel like it's crazy. Like, I can't recall a time in recent memory where Kim was, like, addressing a controversy. But what she said was, well, that statement that I said was without questions and the conversation around it. It became a soundbite really with no context. And that soundbite came off the notion and the question right before, which was, after 20 years of being in the business, you're famous for being famous. And my whole tone and attitude changed with that previous question that went into that question about what advice I would give to women so I guess she's basically saying she still said no one wants to work right she said it wasn't a blanket statement towards women or to feel like I don't respect the hard work or think that they don't work hard I know

that they do it was taken out of context but I'm really sorry that it was received that way I mean maybe she just said something and like people shouldn't take it as gospel. No, I know. You know what I mean? It's not that serious. It's not that serious. It's just not that serious. And maybe Kim isn't perfect

and she has some like problematic fucking or whatever. Like no one, like we're human. It's not that deep. It's not that deep. I agree completely. It's just not that deep. The other thing is like, yes, okay, they grew up, you you know with a maid

and in beverly hills and blah blah they still like i mean i know a lot of people grow up like that yeah they're not able to turn that into right exactly they like you know so i i'm not even i'm not a fan or a hater of hers i'm pretty like neutral with her i've never watched one of the i've never even seen one of those what i know i haven't that's insane yeah but you're also a julia fox girly right you're friends with julia yeah so what does that mean for you oh that's right right um even though i don't julia and kim are cool yeah i don't think there was any static between them when that whole thing was going down and like you're like i know this girl and she's now like becoming this major deal like what was going through your mind i was like if anyone can handle this Julia can

really like she's built for it like I'm just like if anyone can handle this and turn it into something good for her right and not have it be like she she just she killed I mean she did a great job yeah like she went from like dating him only for like three weeks and then by Kanye. And now she's like at, you know, the Versace show with fucking Donatella. Yeah. No,

you know what I mean? That's crazy. Like there's no, no one else is doing that. Did you get a Birkin? I didn't get a Birkin. Fuck. I wasn't invited.

I know. Yeah. That's a problem. That's a bummer. That's a bummer. Yeah. Um, that was just like such a crazy time in pop culture history like it was pretty cool it was crazy and were you communicating

with her while it was going on no but i was just watching and how do you know her um and i'm saying this because me and her spoke about it on her podcast i'm i'm was her sponsor in aa years ago and we just stayed friends she was in some of my Married to the Mob campaigns. Oh, cool. Yeah, actually, Jerry Saltz just posted a photo from it. And I don't even know if he knows that it's her in the T-shirt. Oh, that is so interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're so like New York. Downtown stuff.

I guess I am. Where'd you grow up? In Chelsea on 24th and 8th. But then I moved to Connecticut when I was 14. Got it. And then I moved back when I was 18. Got it, got it, got it. Oh, my, that's so interesting interesting the Julia Fox of it all so yeah Kim um like honestly Kim could do no wrong

like I just love her so much right and while I like people are taking yes I think I do believe it was taken out of context and people are just like so pressed over it when at the end of the day like the overall message was just like if you you want to be successful, you have to work hard. And that's true. That is true. Um, I often wonder though, if Kim is,

she's either like Buddha or like a total sociopath. She's extremely calm. It's wild. Yeah. Like how she said, I always referenced this moment on like the last episode of the old E show. When like the Kanye stuff was like starting, she said said calmness

is her superpower like that's really how she gets through life and i was like never been more jealous of anyone in my life because i'm like what is calm i've never been calm in my life i'm calm when i'm sleeping and like that's it maybe she has really strong faith or something maybe they are i think they are pretty religious yeah but it's like scary with her it's like either very sociopath she either like doesn't have feelings or she literally is like buddha like i don't know no that's a really good call i also think like the kim that we know like i don't think we know like 80 of kim's actual personality yeah that's just what i think that's interesting i could see that which kardashian do you feel like most like do you associate with um you're giving Kendall really yeah like supermodel I don't know if I really you don't you don't play that game at your family dinner yeah no I'm trying to think I'm like I

don't know like my like sister's so hot so like maybe like Chloe because I felt like the ugly sister for a long time. And I know she said that she feels that way. I'm not calling her the ugly sister. Um, but then I also like, you know, Courtney just seems like she's doing her own thing and like,

doesn't care about being famous that much. So I'm kind of into that. And she feels like she's in like the season of her life where she's extremely at peace. Yeah. Content with her life and her family and she's in love and there's nothing better than that. I'm definitely not in love love do you want to get married again I was never married uh what yeah but we were together right right oh I didn't know that yeah do you want to

be in a partnership or a relationship you know what I um I haven't really wanted to so I haven't been looking for that you on the apps I'm not on apps. I'm not doing anything. I've only had sex once this year. And I think I jinxed myself with my tagline from last season. Which was? I'm sex positive and BS negative. And then it was like boom there's no dick anywhere. I was like okay

I'm still sex positive I just am not having it. That is beyond funny. Well speaking of the Rob of it all our next story actually is not that big of a deal but i did want to get your take on just like co-parenting in general because i feel like we see a lot of people on tv co-parenting when i think of like the healthy ones i think of you um and kim and kanye were just spotted they were at a saint soccer game oh good there was like paparazzi pictures they didn't appear to be like loving or embracing

one another but they were both there. That's a good thing. Yeah. I imagine like co-parenting is literally the hardest thing in the world, especially if you fucking hate your partner. Yeah. Like luckily I don't hate Rob, you know, and I don't think like it doesn't seem like Kim hates Kanye. I think she kind of probably feels for him a bit.

I feel like she's definitely annoyed by him. Annoyed maybe. Yeah. But I, you know, if you're a good parent, you put your kid first. Right. And that's what you have to do. You can't really like think about your own ego. You have to just do it.

But as again, I'm in a fortunate situation where he never did anything horrible to me or I probably wouldn't be good at co-parenting. Were you guys like from the start, like once you decided to not be together, were you always in like a good spot no no there was a period it was like the first couple years was like rough yeah yeah and then we kind of it's been an it's been an evolution you know as we've both gotten older and like more mature and just like chilled out it gets better yeah I feel like having a good like positive healthy co-parenting space is like, A, the hardest thing to do. And B, it's like, in my opinion, the most admirable because you have to be so mature. And that's just something I'm not. Well, I'm mature in that way, but maybe not in other ways.

Totally. Well, honestly, I'm happy for Kim and Kanye. I feel like we beat this horse dead. Like, I'm just so over talking about these two, which is crazy for me. I'm really done with like talking about Kanye he's really annoying me and like all of his tweets I mean his Instagram it's so toxic and like I I'm really not a principled person like I'm just kind of toxic but like I feel like talking about family publicly on social media like that is a lot and that's something I hate and like just I imagine how unsettling it is for Kim to, like, have this person be a loose cannon who you were married to who knows, like, all your deepest, darkest secrets.

Oh, my God. Seeing you at your worst. Terrifying. What's scarier than that? That is terrifying. And so, like, I feel for her. But I'm like, is he saying, like, sometimes I'm like, is he trying to, like, are these calls for help? Is he, is it true?

Like, was she really keeping him away? But then she said no stop she's like that you were literally here this morning like stop yeah so if that's the case then yeah he's completely in the wrong well and he has been like very open about his struggles with mental health and it's clear yeah that's why i have a soft spot i know so it's clear for me like this whole thing is him spiraling in that sense but also at the at the end of the day it's like it's still like he's still harassing Kim. So it's like,

where do we, I don't know where to fall. This is the difference. I think, uh, you know, success and wealth has not been good for his soul. And Kim,

it's a different story. Yeah. Like she's thriving in it. And I don't think that it's been great for him. Yeah. And I think, especially since he became a father, it's been like more taxing for him and I think for her she's entered like a

season of her life where she's so much more secure with the fame and everything. Yeah. No that's actually a really good point. Well I just love to see you know families coming together because of course it's a family show you know? Yeah absolutely. Our fifth and final story is some sad news. Sadly over the weekend the Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins had passed away and an autopsy revealed he had 10 substances in his system when he died. So the Colombian authorities on Saturday said that the Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins had 10 substances when he was found dead in his Bogota, in Bogota on Friday.

So the office of the attorney general, Columbia, tweeted the update, which is just like so bizarre, saying that a preliminary toxicology test found substances including opioids, benzodiazepines, tricylic antidepressants, NTHC and psychoactive compound in marijuana. They didn't rule it as the

official cause of death and said that the investigation is ongoing and results will be released after they obtained. I wonder if there was Fenton. I know. So sad. So sad. And a lot celebrities have like spoken out about this and miley cyrus was actually performing over the weekend and she broke down crying i think she sang a food fighter song um so sad so crazy and yeah new update 10 substances in the system when he died addiction is really real And it's very real. Yeah.

Like, with stories like this, it's just, like, impossible. It's just so sad, especially, like, when someone's at the height of their career. Like, Foo Fighters is huge. And he has, like, three kids, I think. Oh, that's terrible. It's horrible. Horrible. You just hate to see it. And, yeah, I mean, I'm sure in your experience with drugs,

I'm sure you've seen a lot of things like that. I had a lot of friends die of overdoses. Yeah. So sad. It sucks. It's terrible. Well, we're sending his family the best, and we're just going to pivot a little bit to something slightly happier,

which is unburden ourselves. So let me tell you how this segment came to be. I fell. Hmm. Yeah. I fell at a party. Hmm. At a cool party. Mary-Kate and Ashley. Hmm. Yeah. I fell at a party. Hmm. At a cool party.

Mary-Kate and Ashley were there. Yeah. And I was wearing these like big dino stomper shoes. Did they see? So the thing was, is that, um, I don't know. And it's kind of the unknown that keeps me up at night. Yeah. And so it was like a Friday or a Saturday night

and just the whole weekend it plagued me. And I asked my friend Gabe who was with me, I'm like, did you see? And he said no, and like I knew he was lying. And then on Monday I came here on the show and I talked it through with Jackie and I really did feel better. And Jackie let me know that's called unburdening yourself.

Oh, unburdening. And then I thought, you know, why should I keep this to myself? Let's open it up to everyone to be able to unburden themselves you care about people right I'm really just like an empath and I sense other people's trauma yeah and so what I wanted to do was open the floodgates for other people so every week on Monday we let three people unburden themselves they tell us what they did this weekend that's been plaguing them and then they can officially let it go love that we try really hard not to judge them, but again, some people do crazy things and it's not always that easy. So we are going to unburden

No never. Please if you have something to say Leah this is an open space. Okay. Anything else? No. Okay you let me know. This Monday, I had a huge exam coming up. It wasn't a big deal because it was my best subject and I studied a ton for it. My roommates and I walk into the exam and we sit down in the lecture hall along with 230 other kids. We get the test and begin. The first few answers are going well. I knew the material and I felt really good about my knowledge. I start to feel my stomach churn and I make some noises.

Oh, God. Noises that are so loud around me everyone can hear. I run out of the room of 230 kids and I sprint to the restroom where I basically had an accident in my pants. I had to dispose of my underwear

in the school bathroom. I pull myself together and go find the professor and I'm shaking explaining to him what happened and I'm crying because I think I stink. Oh my God.

I try to continue the rest of the exam feeling so embarrassed and disgusted and for the entire rest of the exam I'm sweating and feeling like it's happening again. I had no idea what I put on the exam and I never really finished it. I left and I told my roommates a bit of what happened.

They had no idea what was happening during the exam. I'm scared to go back to class to check my exam. Turns out I had food poisoning and I was in the bathroom for the next two days. Of course it had to hit me during my exam. Oh my God. That's terrible. She should be able to take her exam again. That's completely, I mean that's a medical thing that happens. Emergency. Yeah, emergency. I agree and I think when you spoke to the professor like he should have been like bitch go home and we'll take care of this later. Especially if you smell like

shit. The thing is like with college professors like they act sometimes like the exams are life or death. Like you could be bleeding out. It's like well you have professors, like, they act sometimes like the exams are life or death. Like, you could be bleeding out. It's like, well, you have to finish your exam. It's like they're so serious. Like, you can't miss a moment. Like, your life is going to end. It's like if you're shitting your pants, you should be able to go home.

You should be able to go home and sit on a toilet. Yeah. And that's, like, the human thing to let someone. It's a basic human right. Basic human right is to shit in a toilet. 100%. Yep. I'm so sorry that happened to you.

I hope you can unburden yourself and know it was out of your control. Trust me, I'm recovering from the stomach flu. Like you guys know I went into extreme detail about what happened to me. Like sometimes our bodies betray us and this is one of those moments. And I'm so sorry that happened to you. Yeah. It happened to me too, but not in public. But yeah, in the beginning of the pandemic, I had a stomach issue.

I don't know. It was bad. There's literally nothing more embarrassing because it's so out of your control. Then you have to like clean pandemic. I had a stomach issue. I don't know. It was bad. There's literally nothing more embarrassing because it's so out of your control. Then you have to clean it. No, it's horrible. And then you have to walk around without underwear on because you crapped your pants like a toddler.

It's horrible. Yeah. I'm so sorry that happened to you. I hope you can let this go. And you know what? I really would talk to your professor about getting a new test because that ain't right. Absolutely.

How can you focus on algebra when you're literally crapping your pants? At least it wasn't on TV. Exactly. Have you ever crapped your pants on TV? No. Just Ramona. Hell no.

Not me. That was horrifying. Like the skid marks on the floor. All right. Next up. Thank you for sharing, by the way. This is an open safe space. Good morning, Jackie.

Good morning, Claudia and Jackie slash to be named co-hosts. Leah, thank you for being here. My husband thinks it's really funny to annoy the shit out of me. It's like his love language. It might turn me into a murderer someday. So after a shower on days that he's being extra annoying or we're fighting, I take his towel to dry my butt crack.

It's my way of getting back at him without him ever knowing. Is that unsanitary? Probably. But does it bring me instant relief when I'm very pissed? Absolutely. Love you. Honestly, I'm very pissed? Absolutely. Love you. Honestly, I love that for you. But I do feel like there's a problem in your marriage, like, maybe you guys should talk

about. Yeah. That's a big problem. Well, that's funny. You shouldn't enjoy, like, him drying off with butt crack towel. Yeah, I know. Like, and if it's a consistent thing you're doing, like, I don't want to be in naysayer, but, like, I do feel like there might be a problem in your marriage.

You sound like you hate him. Yeah. And he sounds like he hates you, like being annoying get a divorce yeah being annoying is not a love language it's not a personality trait it's just you're fucking annoying and no one wants to be around you yeah yeah i love this for you i do um but i would maybe explore therapy couples therapy yep definitely because it sounds like you two are but probably don't ever admit that you did that i know it's so beyond embarrassing like and it makes you look fucking crazy nuts i agree do not ever tell anyone you did that

but just know like next time you're wiping your ass with this towel like think like is this what marriage is no it's not like it's supposed to be fun and better so yeah i would i know that might not be the answer you were looking for here but there's definitely sounds like there's a problem in your marriage. Sorry. All right. Here's our third and final one. And it's beyond. Hey,

girly girls. This weekend, I was out having a good time with my girlfriend and we ended up closing down the bars. We were drunkenly wandering around the streets, waiting to call an Uber to go home because the prices were so high and we were just hoping to wait it out and that they would eventually get lower because it was 2 a.m. Everything was, was closed and my bladder was about to explode. I was asking all these strangers on the street who would listen where can i go pee and one man finally said you can use my hotel room and i did i'm not proud and i literally don't

trust any man ever but i really could not hold it in any longer so i decided to take the risk of getting murdered and go on in luckily he was very normal and after we pd asked if we wanted a drink we said no thank you anyways i just felt the need to unburden myself because anytime i think about this i want to die i can't believe i trusted my drunken self to a strange man off the street next time just pop a squat between two cars a hundred percent you don't need to go to anyone's hotel room or a restaurant or anything just pee on the street it's totally fine I don't want to make you feel worse because like you do feel bad but like I just want to reiterate how dumb this was um like beyond stupid and trust me I've been there like I sometimes think about some of the things I did like when I've had like a couple drinks and I'm mortified and like beyond shook like how am I still alive so I know

the feeling and I'm not trying to make you look bad same we just want you to like not get murdered yeah and like what's i i think like you know maybe getting a ticket for like public urination is better than getting murdered in a man's hotel room like i just think it's important that we weigh our options absolutely so again not trying to make you feel bad but don't ever fucking do that again that is so dumb and moronic um well i hope everyone feels better i feel better anything you want to unburden um well you're sober now so you probably don't have anything yeah there's not that you know there's not that much that's like I'm so jealous of that I know I'm kidding there's so much but I have professionals yeah right and
