Good morning, millennials. Welcome back to the Morning Toast and happy hump day. Sorry. Happy Wednesday, everyone. Hope everyone's having a great day. I'm having a great day because I'm joined by my roses, my husband, Ben Soffer. Hi. Hump day. Do you love that commercial? There are just a few commercials that really stick in your head. What's the other ones?

Liberty Mutual with the emu. Liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty. Don't be wise, I'll take Zizal. That's a good one also. IDK, my BFF Jill. Yeah, that's a good one. I agree. Oh, of course, you can't.

Flo. No. Progresso. No. Progressive? No. Progressive's the soup. No.

No, Progressive's the soup? Yes. Which one is the insurance company and which one is the soup? Progressive Insurance, Progressive's the soup. But in terms of iconic commercials insurance company and which one is the soup? Progressive Insurance, Progressive Soup. But in terms of iconic commercials, I don't know how we're sitting here not talking about working for an hourly wage.

I went to high school. Didn't do great. Still, I got to make more cash. Glad we got that. Education Connection's a good one. You know what? And maybe the reason why I didn't have a good college experience is because I didn't use Education Connection.

It's possible. It's possible. It also could be the reason that you're smart. Welcome back to the show, Ben. How you doing? I'm good. I'm really excited you're here. I'm really excited to be here as well. For those confused, we did mention that you would be switching days with Jackie, but then we needed to switch it back. We're just juggling a busy life, new mom, and just bear with us. So today is Ben. He's going to do Dear Toasters with me. Tomorrow is a very special episode. It's not me. It's Jackie because I have to go travel. We're heading

to Austin tomorrow. We're doing a meet and greet at Specs and we're going to be selling spritz and having a good time taking pictures, signing stuff so it'll be fun. So I can't do tomorrow's show but Jackie's going to hold it down with an episode with someone special. Are you telling people or you're not telling

people yet? I don't know. I kind of want to be a drama queen about it. Okay. Yeah, but if you do live in Austin Thursday night, Specs, it's going to be lit. It's going to be lit. So join us there and don't forget to tune in to tomorrow's episode. And yeah, I'm so excited to be here, Ben. There's been so much going on with you with Spritz. I think we should talk about the major

milestone that Spritz recently achieved. Yes. Spritz Society is now on United Airlines. Yes. Crazy. Which is really crazy. Unbelievable partnership. The people at United are unbelievable. And it is a great airline. And nobody's holding a gun to my head saying that. No, it's true. I've actually been talking about that journey recently with Brian, how I've really become like a United girly.

It's a premium airline. We're on their routes to Italy this summer. We're in some of the lounges. It's very exciting. If you need, if you're looking for all the details, they're on our Instagram. If you want to catch Spritz in the wild at which lounges and on which routes. So I'm so proud of you, Ben. Thank you, darling. I'll actually, let me just quickly say that there's only two from May 6th to August 6th if you are a Chicago toaster

you can fly from Chicago O'Hare to Milan and if you are a New York toaster from May 6th to August 26th you can fly from Newark, New Jersey to Roma and it's available in the lounges

in Chicago and Newark oh my god where are we flying out of tomorrow no we're not we can't see, it's just so cool. In Chicago and Newark? Yeah. Oh, my God. Where are we flying out of tomorrow? No, we're not. We can't see it. It's also not until the 26th in New York. It's just so cool. Like, nobody's on planes. Like, we got on a plane.

No, it's so crazy. Like, we've been in business for, like, eight months, and we got on a plane. Like, it's really cool. And the variety pack yesterday. Thanks for talking about it. Yeah, we launched our variety pack. It's a great success. So, if you're looking for spreads and you want to try all four flavors,

this variety pack has eight cans, two cans per box, and you can try all of them for fun. I actually have a custom code. Eight Pack Season SZN. Eight Pack Season SZN. So, Ben, how have you been since we last had you on the toast? When was the last time? A couple weeks?

A couple weeks. I've been good, you know? Just doing my thing. Trying to survive. It's tough in these streets. Every day you walk outside, you're like, am I going to get stabbed? Totally. And every day that you come home not stabbed is a win.

Is a win. And then you come home to me, which is just like for you so special. It is. And you come home to Theo and the beautiful home I've made for us. It is so special. It must be so nice to be you. And the home is amazing. Thank you.

Yes, I love the home. You do? Yes, and isn't it amazing when your butler returns? I left yesterday. I want you guys to know. Oh, but now do not do this. I want you guys to know. Do not do this. Seriously, because you're wrong. I want you guys to know. Don't god, do not do this. I want you guys to know. Do not do this, seriously, because you're wrong.

I want you guys to know. Don't do it. Theo has walked at 2pm. I went out to play Monopoly at 7. I said, I'll be back at 9. I'll walk him when we get back. Just hang on. But Monopoly ran over, as Monopoly always does. You are literally, like, leaving out such important facts. Ready?

Okay. Ben says, can I play Monopoly with my friends? Ben is in this like, loser-y ass Monopoly league. Like, they made their own rules. They have like a Google Doc. It is loser central, okay? No, the Google Doc was COVID.

You're literally living in like, nine years ago. Did you not make up your own rules? No, they're great rules. I said yesterday, like, why don't you invite this person to come play with you in Monopoly? He's like, no, he doesn't know the rules.

Like, it's a loser-y. It's a a different it's a way to make Monopoly more real sure so he was going out at seven and when I when he goes to play Monopoly I know it's like a four or five hour thing so he always has to like you know ask nicely because it's a Tuesday night we should be together and because I have no control over my own life or schedule so he's like can I play Monopoly and I said yes you can but you have to make these returns at zara for me along the way that way i'm getting something out of this and you have to walk theo so then you were like oh i'm running late like i know you threw in theo literally at the last minute so and i said look just it's fine i'll be home in two hours But when I wasn't home for four hours, you couldn't just walk him?

I got into the kitchen. The water bowl was bare, not a drop of water. I reject that as well. There wasn't a drop of water because Theo, while he was under my care, drank all of the water. He was drinking water. Don't, don't, don't. How do you know he drank the water? I watched him.

Do you have a camera from the bed? I watched him because I went to go find him. He was sitting in the laundry. And then he went up to get water and I escorted him there. But you literally said, it's totally fine. I'll walk him when I get home. So, okay, I was just listening to you. It's totally fine.

I'll walk him when I get home at nine. I wasn't timing you. Okay. By the way, Theo is totally fine. He's a bladder king. I think it's really your fault. No, I don't think so. And you lost Monopoly.

So it wasn't even worth. It was such a good game too. No, I don't think so. And you lost Monopoly, so it wasn't even worth. It was such a good game, too. Oh, went really deep. The problem is I invested all my money in the Browns. What are the Browns? Mediterranean and Baltic. They're secretly... Those are purple.

What did I say? Brown. It depends on the board that you have. We play on a more premium board, and they're brown. I have to say... Purple's an old game. I don't know exactly your rules, but in a historic game of monopoly that i once played i owned those cheap ones at the front i had hotels on all of them because it's so cheap and i fucking won because every time and people dismiss it because it's like 60 dollars correct

every time i somebody lands on that i was getting like a thousand bucks because it cost me like $300 to put a hotel on it. Correct. You actually get $450 for Baltic and $200 for Mediterranean, $250 with hotels. And yes, cheap builds, big hits, no one's ever out of cash because they just passed go. So even if they're on their way out, great property. Next would be the blues, but yet people really overrate the side of the board. I don't think the blues are valuable.

The thing is, people get sent to jail so many times that the ones between jail and free parking, the purples and the oranges, the pinks and the oranges, are the most high traffic zones because people are always being sent to jail and then getting out. Are you implying that you want to join the league? No, no. You feel quite strategic. No, honestly. That's the whole part of the league. We take Monopoly seriously. Monopoly is fun every once in a while and you have to be playing with fun people.

I'll tell you why this version is fun. This version is fun because there's no luck. Every time you land on a property, it goes up for auction. That is why Jackie hates Monopoly. It's a game of luck. This game is not of luck at all It's 100% of skill It's fantastic I'm so happy Wow Should we play? I'm so happy that you found something

That you're passionate about Yeah it's a great game I There was a time where We were playing Oof All the time Right in COVID

When like you couldn't really do anything But now it's like I don't know Now it's sparse Because life is back to normal Sparse Well I'm so happy for you It's so important to have hobbies.

Yeah, and if you go on Hasbro.com slash Monopoly. Hasbro? Isn't that what they do? Hasbro? Hasbro. Hasbro. Hasbro.

Hasbro. Hasbro. Yeah, not Hasbro. Hasbro. Hasbro. You're saying it wrong again. Okay. Hasbro.

Okay. It's H-A-S-B-R-O. Like you're adding like an O-U-G-H. Hasbro You're saying it wrong again Hasbro It's H-A-S-B-R-O Hasbro Hasbro I think you're wrong Am I saying it weird? Hasbro No, you're saying it wrong Hasbro Okay, sue me

Okay If you go on Hasbro.com No Sue me. Okay. If you go on Hasbro.com. No, I was making a terrible joke that you could use code toast, but you didn't even pick up. Oh, good joke. I was sending them to the manual for Monopoly. I thought that you were going to show them a way to make your own rules or something. Oh, God. I'm not that big of a loser.

No, I think it's really sweet. Thank you, darling. Some guys get together, you know, they do drugs, they gamble. Not you. No. You're playing Monopoly. Do you guys even drink? No, of think it's really sweet. Thank you, darling. Some guys get together, you know, they do drugs, they gamble. Not you. No. You're playing Monopoly. Do you guys even drink? No, of course not.

Sober. I love it. Yeah, it's great. I love that. Yeah. It's good. It flexes the mind. I personally, I don't know why everything you like to do without me takes five hours.

If you, like, I don't mind you playing golf, but it's eight hours. Monopoly is four hours. I know you think it's two hours. It's never two hours. It's always four. So, like, the fact that everything you like to do without me takes so long, like, that hurts my feelings. I'm sorry. It just means that they're good games as opposed to, like, short games.

Like, sorry I'm not playing checkers on the street. That would be fun, too. That also could take four hours. Yeah, depending if you get a really good opponent. Depending on the game. Well, Ben's going to join me here today for the Fast Five Stories, and he's also going to do Dear Toasters with us, because nobody gives advice quite like Ben's offer.

No. I would agree. I give great advice. I also don't ever get, like, two on one side or the other. I'm very even-keeled. I can see somebody get hit by a bus right in front of me. Straight face. Oh, please.

And then cries. Do you remember that time somebody once pulled a knife in Duane Reade? That was terrifying. Yeah. I didn't say that if it happened to me I would be straight faced. Okay because like I was pretty calm and you were like we should leave. By the way you were like let's stay. No I wasn't. Like what?

There's somebody with a knife. First of all we were online for a long time. We were finally at the front. I was not giving up my spot online. Why? Why wouldn't you give up your spot? Leave. Second of all if us leaving were finally at the front. I was not giving up my spot online. Why? Why wouldn't you give up your spot? Leave. Second of all, if us leaving draws attention to us, he was standing by the door. So what? We should get closer to the man with a knife? No, we should leave the store. In order to leave the store, we have to get closer to him.

He was standing right by the sliding door. I don't know. And we got to check out and everything was fine. When you hear the word closer, what do you think? Closer? So baby, pull me closer. No, but this is like our game. What?

Yeah. No, I'm thinking Neo. Closer. I don't even know that song. But me and Ben have started to play this game before bed. Let's play it right now, okay? Okay, yeah. I'll start.

So. So. So. So. Pull me closer. So. I don't know. Sing us a song of the piano man. The so is just like, it doesn't even relate.

You do it now. It's impossible. It's word association, by the way. Yeah, you sing the first word of a song, and the other person has to guess it. Love. Do it again. Love.

Oh, wait, I did it wrong. L. L. Ooh, let me guess. Is for the way you look at me. That was fucking hilarious. And a great place to dive into the past five stories that you need to know before you wake up

And I was like, what the fuck is this?

Bush. It was bush. It was the 90s, man. Bushes. Actually, it this? It was bush. It was the 90s man. Bushes. Actually it wasn't the 90s. It was the early 2000s. All right ready for the past five? Yeah. First up you know Kim Kardashian is getting backlash again for something moronic.

Fans are slamming controlling Kim Kardashian for telling Pete Davidson to remove his hat. Pete Davidson's fans have taken issue with Kim Kardashian telling him to remove a hat while shooting behind the scenes footage of their time prepping for the Met Gala. In a clip uploaded to the Kardashian social Instagram page, Kim is telling the SNL star to take the double hats off as he wore a purple cap over a navy one while filming. He said, I don't know where to put my hat. And then Kim said, she points to her assistant, she'll hold it just in case because if it works

and we want to use this somewhere, just if I want to post any behind-the-scenes content. So it's like, it's so dumb. Like, they're holding hands, and, like, she's trying on the Marilyn Monroe dress. He's wearing a baseball cap and then a baseball cap on top of it. And she's like, wait, take the hat off

because, like, in case this is cute, like, I don't want you to look stupid. And he was like, oh, you don't want me to have a double hat? I appreciate that, thank you. And she's like, no, I don't want you to look stupid. And he was like, oh, you don't want me to have a double hat? I appreciate that. Thank you. And she's like, no, I'm just looking out for you. It's such an irrelevant clip. There's, like, nothing there.

And fans are like, she's controlling. Now, as someone who frequently gets controlled, how does this make you feel? It's, like, a really stupid story. Right. By the way, today, it's bleak no i know just like why are people upset why are people talking about this why is this news because people have literally no lives but from the perspective of myself uh yes as one that is controlled i would never even dare a double hat i get get controlled on my t-shirt or my button down.

I don't really feel like I control your t-shirts. Like if you're wearing something with a hole, like I'm doing you a favor. No, it's not a hole. You'll just say like, oh yeah, you can leave the house if you want to look ugly. Okay, that's the thing. Okay. Oh yeah, I support what you're wearing. Hideous beast.

Ben always comes and is like, do you like this outfit? I'm like, no. You ask for my opinion and I say no. Why? I need to explain to you. I just don't like it. Because you have no taste. Yeah, okay, Bozo. Whatever you say. That's the line. Bozo the clown.

Anytime I put on even a drop of color, if I'm not wearing black, I wear a light shade of pink. Bozo. It's not a light shade of pink. Bozo. It's not a light shade of pink. Okay. You're wearing a nice pink shirt. You gotta wear a yellow pants and a cowboy hat. Like you're always taking it to the next level. So you ask my opinion. If you didn't ask, I wouldn't say anything. You say, do you like what I'm wearing? No, you look like Bozo. So the thing is, I've said, I want you to stop asking my opinion because you don't like my opinion. It's true.

Because your opinion is wrong. Right. Okay. So stop asking. Okay. Bozo. Deal. Enjoy.

Okay. You working a party this afternoon? This is like a big nothing burger from Kim and Pete. Like they're totally fine. Let's stop reading into everything. And like if Kim, like Kim approved this video going out. So like if she thought it was bad, she wouldn't post it, you know? Totally.

It's fine. It's fine. There's nothing there. But it was a really bleak day for stories. So sorry about that. Next up is a Hollywood Reporter story. So, story. Take Me Out, which is a Broadway show.

The theater is pursuing takedown requests. They're going to add additional staff after the nude photo of Jesse Williams has circulated. So they said, it is deeply unfortunate that one audience member chose to disrespect the production, their fellow audience members, and most importantly the cast in this manner. So let me give you the backstory. There is a Broadway show going on now called Take Me Out, and Jesse Williams, who's an actor from Grey's Anatomy, is in it. And he has like a full frontal scene like a penis and everything. And somebody snapped a photo of it and it's gone absolutely viral because allegedly his penis is quite large. And all the fanfare has been you know very... what's the word I'm looking for? Has been in his

favor. It's all been very complimentary, but it's still like an enormous invasion of privacy. And you're really not supposed to film anything at a Broadway show, let alone someone being completely naked. So now the theater and the production company has spoken out. They're going to be adding all these different levels of security. And they really should have a no-phone policy. Yeah, but you're nude in front of an audience.

Yeah, but it's in front of an audience. It's a controlled yeah but it's gonna happen anyways i don't think so like if people had a modicum of respect i don't think it would interesting and i did see like reactions from jesse williams like he doesn't really seem to care yeah because he's full frontally nude in front of people every day yeah but like still that's not that doesn't make it an excuse i just like to know if he's upset or if somebody else is upset for him. Honestly, I'm a little upset. Like, I think it's a huge invasion of privacy. And, like, imagine.

Do you think it's a huge... Imagine if it was a woman. Do you think it's a huge invasion of privacy, even if it's a woman, if they don't care? No, that's a good call, because, like, Jesse Williams doesn't seem to be bothered. But, like, I just think on think on principle like it's fucked up. On principle this is the exact problem we have. People caring too much about other people who don't care. No, I still think it's wrong.

Sorry. Why? It's not you. I'm allowed to have an opinion. That's literally what the show is for. No, I get it. But like if you were nude on Broadway and they did it, you can be upset.

No, for sure. Why are we upset about it? I just think conceptually it ain't right. Okay. I think it's right. It's not a movie that's getting played everywhere. It's a controlled environment where like you have to buy tickets. There's something a little a little weird about it. A little off. I think that it's definitely a fucked up move by the person who did it. Yeah. But if he is unbothered, I think he's probably happy with the press because I've never heard of Mr. Williams. Well, he's a really big actor, so that's on you. Okay, well.

He's on like the number one show of all time, Grey's Anatomy. And you mentioned that he has apparently quite the hog, according to social media. Yeah, people are quaking. And do you think that's like Joey Tribbiani where he took,

what did he take to put on to make his penis look... Uncircumcised. It was like bologna loaf or whatever. Yeah. Yes. Do you think it's his real penis or you think it's like a clay mold? The thing is, we really don't know who to trust anymore.

Do you remember when I made you watch that one scene in Sex Life? Oh my God. That big penis scene. I made Ben watch it for my TikTok. That turned out to be a prosthetic. Shocking. So yes, that's totally a thing, but that's also movie magic. I don't know if you can really get away with a prosthetic on stage in real life, you know?

Interesting, yeah. But that's a good question. I think it was real. Crazy. Yeah. Cool. Yeah, I did see it. Sorry, I don't know why I'm lying.

Was it big? Yeah, I searched it on Twitter Sorry, I don't know why I'm lying. Was it big? Yeah, I searched it on Twitter because I was just like, what is everyone talking about? It was enormous, yeah. Really big. Not as big as yours. See, it's not all about size. It's about love. Girth.

It's all about love. I agree. I totally agree. I love you. I love you, too. So, yes, I did see it. I don I agree. I totally agree. I love you. I love you too. So yes, I did see it. I don't know why I was lying. I was just like ashamed of my actions.

Like, you know, I'm a part of the problem. I am 100% and I own that and I really, I apologize. It's okay. But yes, I agree with your sentiment as long as Jesse Williams isn't bothered than like nobody else should be. Yeah. Is this one? You're having microphone trouble.

Just like push that down. Oh. And pull else should be. Yeah. Is this fun? You're having microphone trouble. Just like push that down. Oh. And pull it towards you. Yeah. I didn't see that the thing, the little mushroom cap was popping up. Yeah. No, I remember my first podcast. Oh, man.

You remember my first podcast. Oh, man. You're being funny today. Yeah. It's that love. Yeah, I am. So where did we land on the story

we landed that people need to stop getting upset for other people by the way I don't think there's like a you're upset

no there's not he's not upset there's not a wave of backlash I just want to let you know I just like had a weird feeling about it stop touching your microphone

no it's good no just stop touching it you're making sounds and torturing the podcasters it's good now just put it up closer and then we go. You literally just adjusted.

I'm just trying to show you. Okay. Just no more touching. Give him. You good? Yeah, you no more touching. So I just wanted to say, I don't think there's like a big backlash movement. I personally was just like, we're all quaking over this moment and it is an invasion of privacy.

That's all I was saying. I understand. There isn't backlash. Got it. But the theater doesn't want this to happen again because they want people to buy tickets. They don't want people to get it for free. You know, I hate Broadway shows, but I just might have to see this one. Yeah, it's their clickbait.

Totally. I wonder if it helps ticket sales. Of course it does. For sure. This hurt their paywall. Now nobody's going to go see it. Right. It's like putting something on Patreon into the real world.

Exactly. Well, I guess I'll just have to see the play and let everyone know if I think it's a prosthetic. You can. So that's what I do for the job that I love. You'll see a show. Bet you a million dollars you won't go to that show. I hate Broadway shows. Like, I hate Broadway shows.

Okay, next up is a little movie news from The Hollywood Reporter. Avatar, The New Way of Water. quarter. Avatar, The New Way of Water, the teaser has dropped, the trailer, and it has gotten 150 million views on its first day out. So James Cameron's long-awaited sequel launched

online Monday after debuting exclusively in... Oh! You ever see Avatar? Yeah, of course. I didn't. Really dark story. I feel like it's something I would really like. When I was in the 12th grade we took a trip to Poland to visit all all the concentration camps, and that morning of our flight it was delayed. So we were all like at our high school like ready to get on the bus, but we didn't like have to go because it was delayed like six

hours. So they just like said come back. So I went to see Avatar. Oh nice. In theaters? In theaters, yeah. So the first teaser trailer for James Cameron's sequel The Way of Water, wrote a huge wave of interest when debuting online early Monday after playing exclusively in cinemas over the weekend. The teaser finished its first 24-hour online window with 149 million views,

including 23 million from China, according to Disney and 20th Century. That's ahead of the Star Wars films, Rise of Luke Skywalker, like it's breaking all these records. The teaser trailer for that played exclusively in theaters first. I didn't realize that, oh, you mean like the premieres before, the trailers before the movies. That's what they're saying. The movie didn't premiere, but like, you know when you go to see a movie and then they have the trailers? that people like went to go see it and then online it got 150 million views

you okay i'm confused what are you confused about it got 150 million views yeah and what do you mean like what about the trailer the trailer the trailer got 150 million views. Great. And it's now playing before movies, like the commercials, the previews. Oh, okay. Yeah. I got it. Okay. Is there more to get? No, that's it.

Okay. Now, the question is, how long is too long to drop a sequel? Because I saw the movie in 2012. I was in the 12th grade. So it's 10 years. Do we care? Yeah. The only reason we care is because the movie market is so bad. Right. Maybe this is the thing to bring it back to life. There haven't been nobody's cared about movies in quite some time. That's actually not true. The most recent Spider-Man broke like every single record. And sorry, I'm just saying. No,

I mean, as a Spider-Man fan, I don't see Spider-Man's without Tobey Maguire. No, I mean, as a Spider-Man fan, I don't see Spider-Mans without Tobey Maguire. Well, then you're not a Spider-Man fan because there's been like four movies since then. That's my Spider-Man. Yeah, for sure. Tobey. Nothing but respect for my Spider-Man. However, you could not, I saw the movie,

I think I actually even saw it twice. You couldn't pay me. If you had a gun to my head, you'd say, tell me what Avatar's about. I couldn't tell you. It's about these little blue people who live in a fake universe. But then there's also people in the real world.

It's been too long, honestly. I'm curious if it'll be as big or bigger than the original. I'll see it. But I've got to see the first. How long is the first? Three hours? Three and a half? It's so long.

And I saw it in IMAX. I had a migraine. In IMAX? I know. I always hated an IMAX because you can't possibly look at the whole screen. I'm not into 3D movies. Like it's fun. Oh, hate 3D.

It's fun for a second. It's not fun at all. Hurts your head. It hurts your head. Yeah. I have to bring like Advil and Excedrin. It's the glasses are the problem. The glasses.

Yeah. They need to find a way to do 3D without glasses. Hundred percent. Can't they just instead of like putting the thing in front of your eye, just put a screen in front of the entire screen so that the entire thing to the entire audience looks like 3D? It's an amazing call. Why do I have to put it here?

Just put it there. It's 100%. Great call. Great call. I'm a genius. You're a genius. Wow. So yeah, people are excited about it, I guess.

And I'm curious to see if it helps, you know, helps revive the movie industry, the theater industry. But I just feel like at some point it's like, who cares? It's so late. Yeah. But maybe, I don't know. I mean, I guess when you have to just like flip these quick sequels, it's also like shitty. They didn't spend any time on it.

That's true. They've been refining this script, this cast, locations. It should be a great movie. If it takes you 10 years, it better be a great movie. And it's James Cameron

who did the Titanic. What was the budget over 10 years? No, but also, like, now that I think about it, the way that, like, we keep talking about

how there's allegedly a Legally Blonde 3 in the making. There is? Yeah, like, Mindy Kaling is writing it. It should be really good. Cool.

With Reese? I don't know. Like, there's very few details coming out about it. I do believe Reese is in it. And, like, I am excited about that. And Jennifer Coolidge? Yeah, so it's been 10 years. Same way that I'm excited about that.

I guess someone really could be excited about this. I just want to share. If Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Coolidge aren't in that movie, boycott. What is your favorite Legally Blonde movie, the first or the second? Oh. Because they're both really good. The first overall is definitely a better movie.

But Bruiser's Bill. I know. It hits home. Bruiser's fucking Bill. Don't animal test. Don't test on animals. And just fight for what you believe in. A hundred percent.

It's a beautiful message. She took her, are you crying? No. You're choking up? No. Are you? Yes. She took her law degree and put it to work for those that mattered most to her.

For those who couldn't speak for themselves. The people who had no voice. The people who couldn't speak for themselves. It's really beautiful. It is. Bruiser's Bill. Bruiser's Bill. And what's her name for Mrs. Doubtfire?

Such a bitch. Sally Field. Yeah. Yeah. She was all, like, she's a great actress, but that bitch. Does she have any endearing roles? She's Forrest Gump's mom. Was she nice in Forrest Gump?

I think so. I don't even remember that movie. I've seen it, but I don't remember it. It's a beautiful film. Yeah. Beautiful film. Cool. Getting choked up.

Anna Wintour appears shocked when asked to show her ID outside a public event. So this video has gone viral. Anna Wintour appeared momentarily stunned when she was asked to show ID at an off-Broadway show in New York City Monday night. Upon arrival at the Cherry Lane Theater, Vogue's editor-in-chief, who was rocking her signature pair of sunglasses, had to present proof of vaccination in order to enter the venue. While Anna Wintour, 72, had no problem showing her vaccine card, a health compliance worker then asked for a photo ID, a protocol for all attendees. The Devil Wears Prada inspiration, who was only carrying her phone at the time, was seemingly flummoxed by the requestxed by the request as seen in footage captured by page

six the video is so awkward the video shows a publicist quickly jumping in to let the health care worker know that it was fine and that this legendary editor could be let in without proof of identification winter then made her way into the theater for opening night of allison levy's oh god a show about abortion she attended the one woman show with her 34 year old daughter and a rep for vogue did not respond to Page Six's requests for comment. So in the video she's the woman was too stunned to speak. Quickly I am sure that show is amazing. What's worse than a one-woman show? I'm sorry.

By the way we know nothing about it but I agree like one I'm sure that show is awesome. Yeah. One-woman shows in general. Would you feel that way about a one man show? Yes. Okay. Horrible.

No, I think I have a stigma about one woman shows from that one episode of Friends. Me too. Chapter one, my first period. Yeah, it's funny. Agreed. I think one woman shows, except for, excuse me, my one woman show. No, that's not a one woman show. That's not the same thing.

One is comedy and one is- Not like other girls? Yeah, that's a good show. Wow, not the same thing. One is comedy and one is... Not like other girls? Yeah, that's a good show. Wow, I just caught you. Do you think my show is terrible? It's not a one-woman show. It is. No.

It's a show with one woman. It technically is a one-woman show. It's a show with one woman. Yeah. Okay, so what do you think about Anna Wintour not walking around with an identification? I think that it's... God, which way should I play this? I don't know. I have two sides. I think that it's... God, I... Which way should I play this? I don't know.

I can fight both. If this was the debate team, I could argue both sides. It's like, who the fuck do you think you are? Bring your fucking ID with you. But also, you don't know who this bitch is. No, so I'm going to fight the side of who do you think you are. Okay. Because... Then I guess I'll just take the other side. In this climate,

people's jobs, there's literally somebody whose job it is to make sure that a vaccine card matches an ID. It's a terrible inconvenience that every single person must endure. It's terrible. But you have to and it's pretty odd to me for Anna Wintour to assume that the person that checks IDs at the theater

knows who she is totally I would say that 90 and again this is just Hollywood elite thinking

yes everyone knows their shit don't stink and everyone knows who they are I bet you 95% of the world

if they looked Anna Wintour in the face would say who the fuck is this woman? That's actually a really good call. I wasn't sure where I wanted to land on this, but you've actually convinced me because, yes, Anna Wintour is definitely someone you know, like, if you're heavily invested in, like, fashion and pop culture.

And that's not everyone. So, like, she's not, you know, Kim Kardashian. Like, not everyone knows your face. She's not Dolly Parton, like, Beyonce. Like, she's definitely a niche celebrity. And I would argue she's much more of a socialite than she is a celebrity. So the fact, like the idea that someone, you know, checking IDs doesn't know who she is, is not the craziest thing in the world. And I think, you know, you're right. I think like the level of entitlement would be like to not walk around with an ID. When, if you live in New

York for the last year, you have to walk around everywhere with an ID. If you live in New York for the last year, you have to walk around everywhere with your ID and your Vax card. It is literally the most annoying thing ever. People I know started taking a picture

of their Vax card and their ID together and then making it the background of their phone just so that when they would walk in places they could flip their phone. It's so inconvenient.

Everyone knows that. Everyone knows that. So what are you doing leaving your house without your ID? No, it's just weird. And then also the end of the story, oh, the public ID? No, it's just weird. It's dumb. And then also like the end of the story like, oh, the publicist swooped in to save the day.

It's like, why does the publicist have any power over this guy checking IDs? Right. No, totally. Rules are rules. Rules are rules. Whether you agree with them or not, it's a rule. It's a terrible rule. No, like literally like you are still having to wear masks in a Broadway play and that's

literally why I won't go. It's also just like so different. Like it's like a public health rule. It's not like a, oh, like let's get this kid in underage. He's a celebrity. Right. Like that's a him problem. Yeah.

But the reason why these things still exist is because Broadway like needs to make sure that COVID never ends. Broadway is still doing like the most, even though New York has dropped. I literally just sat on a- The planes have dropped. No, no one wears masks anymore. Right. Except for Broadway.

Totally. I went to a Broadway show. I had to wear my mask the entire time. I did, of course, sneak it down a little bit during, and then the lights went up and there's this woman with another, she's employed to do this. Not her fault. No. Oh, actually, no.

Sorry. Volunteer. Her fault. Holding a big fucking sign. Mask up! Mask up! It's like my mask and everyone's masks

were down for the hour and 30 minutes that the lights were off. Right, of course. But for the 15 minutes that the lights are on, mask up! That's fucking funny.

Volunteer. Sorry, the only thing worse than a one-woman show is a volunteer. Volunteers. Why? Because volunteers. And I'm not talking about a volunteer that, like, volunteers at the aquarium. Animal shelter.

Or, oh, I guess, yeah. No, like, volunteers are amazing. Like, volunteers go out. Exactly. Volunteers at the botanical gardens are amazing. What the botanical Gardens? What about Soup Kitchens? Sure

Soup Kitchens Shelters All these are wonderful volunteers So what volunteers are you talking about? The volunteer Who wants to say Mask up! Okay

At the Broadway show Just that one No there are a lot of volunteers like that Okay And I'll think of more I don't know if you're right about this call, but... I am.

One woman show. Volunteers. No, listen, volunteers are selfless people by nature. They don't get paid. Yeah, and some of them take it too far.

I agree. I do think sometimes becoming a volunteer will give you a power trip for sure. Oh, okay. What about the volunteers for the safety patrol?

Those, the people in their towns. Yeah, yeah. Stop speeding! Citizens arrests people in their towns. Yeah, yeah. Stop speeding! Citizens arrests and shit like that. Yeah, no. Volunteers. Yeah, but they're trying to better the neighborhood.

They are because they're bored. No. How about you better the neighborhood from home? No, I do think that like those volunteers that you're talking about, like they come from a good place, but they, no matter what, like they will end up on some sort of power trip. They're terrible. They're not terrible, Ben. They're trying to save lives save lives and you should slow down you're always fucking speeding they're talking to you very interesting you want to tell them about the time

that you scratched your car i've never scratched your car remember long beach yeah okay 2012 yeah i remember um i never said i was a good driver like I literally would be the first to tell you I'm not a good driver. And I just can't be bothered to look both ways. It's exhausting. I have a question. But you, you are a good driver, but you will die on the hill that you're an amazing driver. But you're actually pretty reckless. One woman show.

Volunteers. Traffic cops. Traffic cops are a special breed of moron and like i feel bad for them in the sense that it's like not their fault because like they're given routes but like you'll find a traffic cop on the least busy street in the world making traffic and then on an incredibly busy street like 34th street there won't be a traffic cop in sight like i'll never understand that I also no longer like one I don't feel bad they're getting paid

hourly to my life changed when I realized they had no power you thought oh you're oh you're telling me not to make a left fuck you I make a left right in front of them what are they gonna do

they have no ticket booklet yeah they can't give you a ticket give me a ticket I don't think you should be flipping people off but you volunteer by the way you know it's so fun they're not volunteers first of all they're paid city Yeah, they can't give you a ticket. They can't give me a ticket. I don't think you should be flipping people off. Fuck you, volunteer. By the way, you know what's so funny?

They're not volunteers, first of all. They're paid city employees. And two, you talk such a big game, you've literally never flipped anyone off. And when we're in the car and I want to start yelling at people, you are literally the always one holding me back. You're like, Claudia, don't start a fight. Let's just go. Totally.

So you're talking a big game. You're a big strong man. No, I'm just saying. You never do that. I'm just saying. You literally, everything you're saying right now game you're a big strong man no i'm just saying you never do that i'm just saying you literally everything you're saying right now you're incredibly respectful to volunteers no you don't start fights no by the way fuck the volunteers agreed but like you fuck the volunteers what are you talking that's true what are you talking about that's true okay um can I go to the next story? You can, but I'm also realizing now a pattern, which is, so there's a man yelling at us in the car, and you want to yell back at him the same way that you wanted to stay when there was a guy with a knife in Duane Reade.

You want to wait for problems. Yes, no, I thrive on adrenaline and violence, for sure. Do the toasters know the story of the bank robbery? Of course, I tell it all the time. Jackie actually told me. I can't say it anymore because I say it all the time. Okay. Well, she wanted to stay.

Yeah, of course. I fled. I want nothing to do with that paperwork. All you had to do was stay. Ready? We can move on. A little human interest story to wrap up the day. A passenger with no idea how to fly an airplane lands safely after the pilot gets sick.

Volunteer? Would you say it's a volunteer? It's a good kind of volunteer. This is a great volunteer. A passenger with no flying experience successfully landed a small plane in Florida Tuesday afternoon after his pilot suffered a medical emergency. The incredible aviation accomplishment happened at Palm Beach International Airport with the help of air traffic controllers.

So he said, I've got a serious situation here. The Cessna Caravan passenger was reportedly heard telling air traffic control about 70 miles north of his final destination my pilot has gone incoherent i have no idea how to fly a plane the dispatcher said roger what's your position i have no idea the passenger reportedly said i can see the coast of florida in front of me and i have no idea the dispatch said maintain wings level and just try to follow the coast either north or southbound we're trying to locate you. Controllers helped the plane descend and finally located it about 25 miles north of Palm Beach in Boca Raton. From there air traffic control coached the man down to the ground in what is considered a safe and steady landing the station

reported. The controller said you just witnessed a couple passengers land a plane, he said over the radio. And the other radio guy was like, did you just say the passengers landed the plane? That's correct. Oh my gosh. Great job. Wow. That's amazing.

That's an amazing story. That's like literally my worst fucking nightmare. Good for them. I can barely drive a car. Yeah. Good for them. By the way, it's funny. You think you can't fly a plane.

I bet you could. It's very frightening. But there are a lot of people that can fly planes. Someone's coaching me over, even though, like, when the guy said, I'm literally a passenger. I have no idea how to fly a plane. Then the air traffic control says, maintain wings level and follow the coast. Normal people, what the fuck does that mean? Well, maintain wings level would be just like,

don't go down or up. Maintain wings level. I guess. And the coast, you're looking at it. Stay on the coast. I just feel like he could have been more

like layman's terms. Yeah, for sure, but his job is the anti-layman's terms. I would literally just be like, tell me what buttons to press. Yeah. I would start FaceTiming them

so they could see what was going on. The part of the story that I don't understand, I wouldn't even know how to get in contact with air traffic patrol. They're always on. They're always on. Like that headset.

They're always on. Oh, it's on. I think so. You don't think it's like a button you need to press to get them? I follow this girl on TikTok who's like a pilot. She has like this really cute tiny plane. She's always flying like one to two hour flights. Oh, I've seen that.

Yeah, she's like, Charlie, air traffic to Charlie traffic to Charlie like whatever and seems like they're always available. By the way that girl seems to fly like 50 miles at a time. It's a really small plane so she can't like fly cross country but you can fly like you know Illinois to Milwaukee you know. Yeah yeah. I like her I learn a lot. Yeah I know that girl. Yeah. Cool. 21 Charlie that's always what she's saying. 21 Charlie to lift off? Okay, let's say you're in an emergency. Are you volunteering? Let's say there's like 10 people on a plane.

They need someone of sound mind to get in the seat and replace the pilot and talk to air traffic control. Are you volunteering? Is there nobody else that's volunteering? No, no. I don't know, but are you volunteering? I will volunteer if there isn't somebody. Like, if there's a doctor on board, I'm trusting him.

A surgeon, great hands. Yeah, that's true. Like, do I think I could do it? Sure. Do I think that there are probably people on board that could do it better than me? I would at least like to check. Yeah, I don't think I'm volunteering. I think I would be a great person to decide who would be best at landing the plane.

I love that. We could start a coalition. Isn't that good? Yeah, like we'll unionize. I will tell you what's best for you. I love that idea. That is such a crazy story and honestly like makes me never want to fly. It's just problems always happen in small planes. That's just the truth. No, but you know what? You always hear about the accidents are never with these large planes. In times. Except that flight.

In times of. Was it Malaysia? In times of. Very good. Very good. Okay. We're going to move on to gear co good. Okay. We're going to move on to gear coasters,

your favorite segment? Sure, yep. Where we give advice to people who need it. If you ever want to write in, it's deartoasters at gmail.com. Try and keep it brief, but give us all the information we need. Ready? Hello, Claudia and Ben. Love it brief, but give us all the, you know, information we need. Ready? Mm-hmm. Hello,

Claudia and Ben. Love you guys, but I need help. My roommates and I are splitting up after two years together, and I noticed that one of them was posting furniture

we all purchased together on Facebook Marketplace. Should I say something? None of us have really spoken to each other for the last six months because we went from friends to enemies

after about a year of living together. I'm just not sure it's worth ending the silence over for less than 100 bucks. Sincerely, a broke but bitter toaster. That is so weird.

Like, on principle, like, I'm a principled person. So I'm like, I paid for this furniture. I'm not necessarily agreeing to sell it on Facebook Marketplace. And even if I am, I want my money. But that's a conversation that you have the day you part ways. But they hate the, no, not the day. You need to prepare. No, if you they hate the, no, not the day. You need to prepare.

No, if you leave an apartment, it sounds like this girl. They haven't left yet. Oh, they all live there together. No, it says we are splitting up after two years together. Like they're not split up yet. And then it says after six months. Keep reading. They haven't spoken to each other for the last six months. Oh, but they still live together.

That was the bye-bye guy. Okay, if you live together and somebody put it on Facebook Marketplace, very odd. Yeah, like they're living together and they currently hate each other and they're almost out. And one of the girls started selling all their shit. Very weird, because I was going to say cardinal rule. If you leave the apartment, if you leave a dresser in the apartment, it's not your dresser anymore. Yeah, once you leave shit behind. It's the apartment's dresser.

Unless you say, like, I'm leaving this here once I can find space for it. Like, I want it back. Great. So then do you pay a storage fee? No. Once you leave it, it's the apartment's. But do you think it's worth her actually saying something? It's like $100 and they all split it three ways.

It's $3. Yes. She said she wants the money, but like she doesn't want to end the silence. Yes. She lives in the apartment. She paid for the thing. This girl can't sell it. Maybe the girl is...

What kind of furniture is it? I don't know, but maybe the girl is selling it with the intentions of splitting up the money. I don't know. I think you should

say something. Just say like, hey, notice this was on Facebook Marketplace. Be like, is this ours? I really think we could have gotten a little more money. Is this ours?

No, not ours. Maybe she thinks you don't know and you don't care that she can just pocket the money. So you have to let her know, I'm onto you, bitch. I agree. Nicely. I see you. Nicely. We see each other.

Yeah, nicely. Nicely. Definitely say something. Next up. Love you guys so much. I went to NLOG in Detroit and I love the show. I'm writing because I've been dating my boyfriend, Maverick, for six years now. I moved to the States to be closer to him and I absolutely love and adore him.

The issue is he has super religious parents that really control him. The other issue is that when we first started dating, I sent him nudes on Snapchat and he screenshotted them and it synced with his family's iPad via iCloud. And long story short, his dad saw my full breastises. We were mortified. For reference, his dad is practicing Muslim and his dad is a Southern, his mom is a Southern Baptist. We are obviously way more serious now contemplating marriage, but we do not live together because his parents don't want us to. And he has not proposed to me yet, despite saying if I had a normal relationship with my parents, we would already be married years ago. Basically, I think he hasn't proposed because he's scared of what

his parents will do or say. I'm basically at my wits end wanting the relationship to progress and so does he but his parents are in the way. What should we do? What should I do? Oh that's tough. Because like you know what it sounds like you're going to end up like asking him to choose between his parents and you and like you never want to be that girl. I still can't get over the breasts on the family iCloud.

Even if his parents weren't super religious like that's horrible no matter what way you slice it. That's terrible. But also, like, the dad is that tech savvy to go through the family iCloud? It also sounds like he was a snoop. No, it sounds like it really was, like, a terrible accident where, like, nobody won. Very weird.

Okay. Yeah. But moving on from that piece. What would you do? Like, you know, let's say your parents fucking hated me then you wouldn't be the person you are though okay that's very sweet but like no no no we need a real example no like there's something going on there that's like so you think there's something wrong with this girl no i think that there might be either something wrong

with this guy or he's using his parents as an excuse to not commit. That's a good call. Like there's not, like if you love someone, you convince your family that like, unless the girl, unless the girl is a monster, which she sounds very lovely.

And she's a toaster, so she's not. She sounds lovely, so obviously this can work, but the guy is using this as an excuse. Yeah, I actually think that's a good call.

Like, oh, we would, I actually think that's a good call. Like, oh, I would have proposed three years ago, but my dad. Like, nope, not true. No, and he's failed. How old are they? He has failed to represent this girl in a way that's meaningful to his parents. Totally. You know, like we're all responsible for managing communication between your partner and your parents.

I'm sure you're so right. I'm sure he downplays it all the time. He's probably like, oh, yeah, like we're friends. Yeah. You got to meet these parents, show them that you're lovely. Right. Show up in a nice, if that's what you want, like if you want to impress them, like show up in a nice conservative dress,

bring, you know, halal cookies, like be thoughtful. But it seems like this guy's not giving you the opportunity. It sounds like he is the one that is stopping this from happening it sounds like a conversation needs to be had with him about how he's talking about you to his parents and then telling him to man the fuck up right like how was he presenting this relationship to his parents behind closed doors yeah clearly not well i'm just saying this is good advice that was good advice he's totally he's the problem he's the problem all right first and third and final sorry thank you for reading my submission you two add so much joy to my week i'm getting married in a week and a few days ago my dad let me know that he'd like both him and my mom to walk me down the aisle as is customary in the jewish faith we are an

interfaith couple my fiancee is catholic so we are weaving jewish traditions our day and ceremony, but we aren't being married by a rabbi or having a traditional Jewish ceremony. We're also getting married in the South near my fiance's parents, which was a bit to my parents' dismay. My mom and I are close, but also have a pretty tumultuous relationship and have for most of my teenage and adult life. The idea of walking down the aisle with my dad feels so special and having my mom on my other arm, unfortunately, just isn't what I envision. My mom doesn't seem to care strongly about this, but I don't want to disappoint my dad,

especially because of the no rabbi southern wedding thing. Do I suck this up and make my dad happy, or do I figure out a way to tell them both that I'd prefer to walk with dad only? Many thanks, toasters and a pickle. It's not a pickle. Your wedding day is not about you. Your wedding day is about everyone. No, that's not what I was going to say.

Well, that's my thought i i actually your parents raised you it's a jewish wedding for them they're flying give them something across the country put your mom on your arm you won't remember it anyways so here's what i have to say i don't agree about the first thing you said like it's literally about nobody but you And anyone who makes it about themselves is selfish. I'm sorry. Then why don't you just get married alone? Let me finish my thought. But, but. Your parents are probably conceding a lot in the sense that, like, you're not having a Jewish wedding.

And, like, for, you know, Jewish parents, that's, like, it's, like, the worst thing ever. So, like, I happen to really like, there's so many things I love about Jewish traditions and Jewish weddings, but I love that it's not just the dad walking the bride down the aisle. First of all, that's like so old school, like fuck the patriarchy. And two, it's like, bitch, your mom also raised you too. Arguably like your mom shoved you out of her puss. Like moms do the most, moms are doing everything. And then like the dad gets to be like, I'm giving you away. Bitch, you're not hers to give away like your mom fucking does everything that always pisses me off about like traditional weddings and I love that in Jewish weddings it's the mom and it's the dad for me it was just the mom and I loved it so like I that happens to be a tradition I really like and value and I think it's like

it's the great equalizer so I'm all for you doing this tradition also like relationships with parents they are high they're low but they're always your parents and you never know where you could be at your relationship with your mom in 20 years and you'll always regret you I don't think you'll really ever regret having her do it but I do think you will regret not having her do it that's my piece agreed you were interrupting me you had something you wanted to say no I was I said the same exact thing as you except in a different way. No, we said two totally different things.

We're on the same page. No, we were completely different pages. We're on the same page. Different chapters. Different books. We're on the same page. For sure, for sure. So it is your wedding day.

You can choose whatever you want. But I would insist that you just pause and think about what we said. Because at the end of the day, you're allowed to make whatever decision you want. It is your day. But I don't know. Maybe we're biased because we're Jewish. Definitely.

But like I think you should do it. No, we're biased because we're parent loving people. That's true too. Respect your damn mom. I know. And even though she maybe makes it hard

sometimes she is your mom. And as Jews it's one of our core commandments respect honor thy mother and thy father and sometimes

they make it hard but you have to do it you must that's a good call too love bringing in the commandments that's our show cool love you
