Good morning millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy hump day! It is thrilling. It is exciting because it is a Jackson Claude original recipe back in the freaking freaking studio. Back in the studio. This week was so long yet so short. I feel like we were just here. I know. We were just doing breaking bread. You look so different. What's different? Is it because you moat and groat? Excuse me? You moat and groat.

Met and grat. Yeah. Yes, I met and greeted. Meet and greeted. Meet and greeted. So I was going to get to that. Yeah. I was going to.

I was like, I actually woke up and was like thinking of like a good joke for the show today. And that's what I came up with. And that's what you landed on? So it's going to be a good episode. Really good. Okay. I was going to get to everything, but I was just going to say that we have Breaking Bread

tonight, Spotify Live. And like last we spoke, we were doing Breaking Bread and we literally have not spoken since. I know. That's how busy this weekend was for both of us. I got back from Dallas last night. I was in town for the Spritz meet and greet at Specs. And you guys, it was my first solo meet and greet. And like, not only did I kill kill it but everyone who came was just

so amazing wonderful like I could have spoken to everyone for so much longer than I even did there were so many new mamas there were so many just like people who have been around for so long so many people brought wonderful gifts it was really just a pleasure it's a pleasure and I just feel like everyone who was there like we're just just, like, so simpatico. No, there was, like, a vibe. I feel like we all, right, does that ever happen at a meet and greet? Where it's, like, we were all. We were all in this together.

Like, we'll always have Dallas. It was electric. I know what you mean. We'll always have Dallas, you guys. And if you know, you know. If you were there, like, you know. No, it looked amazing. I was, like, watching on Instagram.

And the content was premium. The toasters were premium. And it looked like a extravagant affair it really was I got to meet and greet so many people signing autographs I had never really signed an autograph before but my fire penmanship came like this was the role I was born to play you need to write a book because like you you sign your name so many times when you write a book yeah and like if you don't have a good signature like it's actually embarrassing yeah um and like you need to do that just so you can really flex your penmanship yeah because I was signing boxes and canvas bags and it wasn't as much it wasn't the best seamless yeah the pen to paper they weren't it wasn't perfection yeah so

yeah I would love to do that like put my John Hancock over everything yeah I remember like when I literally practiced my signature before my book came out and I was like looking at I think it was Stassi she's such yeah a cool signature but also her name like the s and the s it's just not fair like I'm literally co like they're just two ugly blocky round letters you know well actually you could make the c and O very similar and it would look like S and S, you know? Yeah, I guess. But it's just like being,

like people think being famous is so easy and like it's literally so hard, you know? That's like when people do logos, like the Netflix logo. Yeah. It stands for never pause. Can you believe that? Claudia, I don't think I've ever laughed so hard

at something you've ever made in my whole life. It only took, what, nine years on the internet? But thank you. No, but before that, it was something else. Yeah. But this made me laugh harder. I think I watched it 10 times, and I laughed every time. No, literally. Like, can we just talk about how, like, I'm really coming into my own on TikTok? Did it go viral, that one? No, of course not. But I also posted it. I couldn't sleep before my flight to Toronto. It was literally, like, viral that one? No, of course not. But I also posted it. I couldn't sleep before my flight to Toronto. It was literally like three in the morning. It's like the worst timing. So it did fine. It got like maybe like 150 views, but like I could, it could have done better. That's premium. It got a million views on Reels. Because Reels people are real people.

Powerful words. Make it a Canva pro. Jot it down. Reels people are real people and we like good comedy. Jackie, like good comedy. Jackie, that's beautiful. Thank you so much. How are we doing on TikTok since we last spoke? Also, I needed to let everyone know, at the meet and greet was a girl who's been a toaster for three weeks because she found us on TikTok. It's working.

It's working. That is what I love to hear. And she was so toasty. I would have never known she was so new. So it's reaching the intended audience. Are you trying to make me cry? That's literally what we set out to do, and we're doing it. We're doing it.

Oh, that is such a relief. Well, we've got a great show. It's Wednesday, so we have Dear Toasters. We're just going to jump right in, even though we've been off for like six days. No, no, no. I'm not saying it's time to jump in. I was just giving everyone like a rundown of what was going on is that okay yeah I'm gonna call you out though every time there's a lull in conversation yep yep yep every time there's a lull in conversation

between me and Claudia she says well we have a great show well you want to know why one we do have a great show and two somebody's got to say something no no like conversation, like, conversation. We never not have something to say. No, but, like, before, like, the croonch and before the stories and everything, sometimes there's, like, a dip, and I always think a great way to pick back up, because then we don't go into the stories when I say that. Then we think of something else to say, you know?

Sure, but I have so many other things I could have said. Like, how was your weekend? I could have talked about the rest of my weekend. How was Ben on the toast yesterday? It was good you didn't watch it um no I didn't when I saw notification like I was so in a time warp this weekend especially since I was supposed to leave for Dallas on Thursday and due to um the fact that nothing works yeah I didn't get to go until Saturday yeah my flight on Thursday was canceled all flights that day were canceled because there was some rain in the morning and then they blame everything on weather the rest of the day is beautiful at the

destination it's beautiful and it's like people have been flying now for almost a century like you really want to say you can't fly in the weather no they blame it on rain they say weather because that is like an acceptable way to cancel and that way they don't have to like reimburse you for all of your trouble if they cancel you for no reason then like you are entitled to like a credit and all these things from the airline but when they say weather because there's a drop of rain that's them like not having to pay you it was so crazy it was thunderstorming when I woke up but I never even left my house my flight was canceled I tried to get on any other flight they wanted to route me through Pittsburgh and I just wasn't in the mood for a divine diversion no like I just didn't see that for me you have to be in the mood there was nothing divine about it

and also traveling with a baby like we're not gonna get no that's just not gonna happen so then I was like you know what clearly there was some rain today the airlines are fakakta we'll go Friday booked a flight for Friday before I left the house it was canceled every other flight from that route was canceled I looked at every other airport there was not a nary a flight like nothing works it was so crazy you Olivia and I all went to different airports on the same morning to go to different places I bought four tickets and thankfully one of them took off and then I got a refund for the other three Olivia sat on the plane for six hours until she was forced to go home and you never even left your house never even left my house

for 48 hours because your flight was canceled and all other flights were canceled it was a crazy travel weekend I hope it was like a moment in time no it's been getting really bad since Memorial Day and then the New York Post like wrote up that day and I was thankfully they did because I was like looking for other travelers to talk to or like, you know, or like an article that's like Delta canceled 1500 flights today. Like so that I knew it wasn't just like, what's going on? There's no one to talk to. There's no community when your flight gets canceled.

And it's like, I guess if I was at the airport, I could commiserate with other travelers. Yes. I love to do that, by the way. But I was just like, I was looking on Twitter, like Delta canceled to see like if other people were having the same experience and like what was going on. And New York Post wrote it up and they said it was the worst travel day of the summer. You guys, the summer hasn't even started. Oh, it's true.

It's still technically spring. Summer hasn't even started. Wait, what date does summer start? June 21st? I think it started yesterday. Oh, so it still wasn't summer on Thursday. It still wasn't summer when they said it. I think it's going to be really bad and continue to be bad because like Friday was a beautiful day and your flight was

canceled and all flights were canceled from that route yeah so me and Ben are trying to plan a trip to Italy in July and honestly part of me like doesn't even want to go even though I have to say flying back from Canada I got to use my global entry for the first time and I swear to god like I am elite I am better than everyone. It felt so good. Like, it was worth the journey to JFK in the middle of a Wednesday. And it was worth all the trouble. Highly recommend getting global entry.

And I didn't have to take my shoes off. That is nice. I have, in general, I don't have a desire for travel. I'm not going anywhere ever again. You don't want her to be lost? I don't want her to be lost. But, like, for people who have to travel, like what do you do?

And it just made me realize like, what is something that you absolutely have to go do that like you couldn't just, like I had to go for the meet and greet. Like a funeral. A funeral, like to say goodbye to a loved one. A wedding. But anything else, if I was going through that,

I would just cancel my trip. Like it was like an optional affair. And really everything is optional. I just don't know how people are living like this. will I go on my trip who knows yeah no it's um it's crazy so I'm so happy to be home Ben wanted to go visit Olivia this weekend I'm like I love Olivia with every five like there is not my heart is filled with love for my sister Olivia and her husband no one doubts it and Michaela like of course I would take a bullet three but not a plane but not a plane like so I'm like Ben we can't go like my mental health like I can't take it no I can't

it's really really bad no I know so I'm glad our travel weekend is behind us and we can be here to give everyone the show that they deserve yeah back to the show back to the show but like is anyone else shook no it was shook worthy but it's it happened in a vacuum so if you weren't traveling this weekend like you don't get shit you'll all see you'll all see enjoy your trips to you and like you'll just be looking for a community and for people to talk to and for people who are talking about it so this is for the people who need to feel seen because they didn't get to their place where they were going on time this is for all of you. Because I was just like,

I was, it was shook. Okay, at least you had to experience the whole thing from your house. You weren't sitting at LaGuardia Airport for 12 hours. If I was, then it would have made the news. I literally woke up at eight.

Flight was canceled. Flight was canceled. I'm like, you know what? Let me get my ass to the airport. I'll hop on. Oh yeah, and you went without a flight. By the way, that was something I couldn't miss. I had a work engagement.

I know, I know, I know. I went without a flight. I bought three tickets. One something I couldn't miss. I had a work engagement. I know, I know, I know. I went without a flight. I bought three tickets. One of them took off. Canceled the other two. Love that whole 24-hour cancellation thing. I got my money back immediately. Did my event.

I still haven't gotten my money back for my Friday flight. I still haven't gotten my money back from this. Delta. I haven't gotten my money back for my Friday flight that never took off. And there was never any other route I could have taken. You guys didn't even tell me, hey, jump on this flight. You guys just said, good luck. Also, they never even sent a notification that the flight was canceled. This was the craziest thing. So I woke up that morning, I looked on FlightAware,

and it said canceled. And I was like, what? I didn't get a notification. I have the app, you know, they let me know when everything's happening. So I went to my app, still says boarding on time. I click boarding on time, and it says canceled. And so all morning, I was also like trying to get on the phone with Delta to confirm that it's canceled. Ooh. And so all morning I was also like trying to get on the phone with Delta to confirm that it's canceled. Tried to call Delta, nine hour wait time. Okay. So I made it to Toronto. I was in Toronto for approximately four hours, ran for my event in full glam. I'm sweating in the back of this Uber. My flight's at 1030. I get to the airport, literally 955. Breeze is sure to run. He took my settings, but I said, sorry, you can keep

it. I run, get to the gate five minutes before boarding. My phone starts buzzing. I'm like, oh, it's probably Ben checking on me. Your flight has been canceled. As I'm literally standing at the gate. We booked you on a flight. This was Thursday. They said, we booked you on a flight Saturday 6 p.m. Thanks, guys. I'm like, what? We called. Not only did they say

we have a long wait time. They said, you can't get on the line. Bye, bitch. Yeah, they gave me like a number to text instead and it was an hour to get a text back it was so psychotic and when you think about the travel industry at a glance it's like we are first of all travel is so expensive like it's more expensive than it's ever been and we are being treated like worse than we've ever been treated it's a scam it's literally a scam that we're all just okay with because like how else are we gonna get there when you look around the airport it's just full of miserable people and I don't blame them and it's like the people who you're able to talk to like the gate agents

like they they can't do anything they didn't cause this no and who can we talk to no and really justice for the gate agents because airlines are so understaffed people are so miserable and cranky and they take it on out on the gate agent. When the gate agent is just trying to get through their shift and get home. Of course. And that's going to force the gate agent to seek different employment. Of course. That's why they're understaffed.

And everyone is just miserable. Yeah. Period. It's just so unhappy. And everything is so unpleasant. You try to take a vacation with your family to have a nice weekend off. You work hard and can't even fucking get there. How are we supposed to get to a better place it ain't right it ain't right there's no accountability in the airline culture who can who can we talk to and

really we need tpg to take up the mantle and fight for us well you know what i was actually watching this tiktok so i i forget what the date was but people on tiktok are trying to organize a gas strike so for like two days, nobody buys gas. I think they've done it in the past. And it's like it's in they're trying to seek the gas prices be brought down because no one can afford gas anymore. So and people were like making fun of the guy trying to start it. But he's like, it actually works like 50 years ago. And like, why don't we just try like two days? Nobody buys gas.

I actually thought it was kind of smart. And I know people need to travel, but we need to go on strike. I agree. But also the pilots are on strike too yeah no and Delta is like begging retired pilots to come back to work no one wants it seems like nobody wants to work these days yeah but because the like they're overworked the pilots are underpaid but they also fired so many employees in the aviation field who didn't get vaccinated like maybe you could bring those people back now too and it's like who, who were the, the travelers need to strike. The pilots are striking. I think air traffic control is striking. That happened like in Florida a few weeks ago, they said it was weather, but really everyone was on strike. And who are we, the T who are we

striking against? I think the FAA. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. But like the secretary of transportation, there's someone who's in charge here. 100%. And it's not us. And it's not us. And we need TPG to really bring everyone together. He's gallivanting around Europe, but when he comes back... This is his time.

Yeah. It's true. This is his time. This is his time. Okay. So travel rant complete. Don't go anywhere unless you have to. And without further ado, if you are traveling and

you're delayed and you need some girls to get you through, here we are with the fast side stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

Luke Combs welcomed his first child with his wife, Nicole Hocking, and they revealed his name, baby boy, Tex Lawrence

Combs entered the world on Father's Day and they were kind enough to share name, photo, everything with us. Kylie, take notes. And warm the cockles of our hearts. So I feel like the pressure for Luke and Nico Holmes to have like the best country name was really high because like, you know, we've interviewed Luke so many times. And he really, and I think he knows like he embodies, he always says it's like his songs are redneck imagery. Like, he embodies country culture. And his child's name, like, I don't even know if he knows, like, the amount of pressure, like, the suspense. And he passed with flying colors.

I hadn't thought about what they would name their son or what I expected them to name their son. Plus, Luke and Nicole have very classic names. Yeah. You know, Luke is, like, one of the most popular boys. Lucas, 1218. Lucas, 1285. son or what I expected them to name their son plus Luke and Nicole have very classic names yeah you know Luke is like one of the most popular boys Lucas 12 Lucas 1285. don't forget it be kind to others um but yeah there is a lot of pressure to have like a a country a country kid yeah and I love this name I love Tex and also he's Texan Luke Texan I don't know he loves the cowboys no he loves the Carolina he's from North Carolina I don't know. He loves the Cowboys. No, he loves the Carolina.

He's from North Carolina. Because he went to college. Sorry, he loves the Cowboys and then he bet on every game. Yeah. No, Luke is from North Carolina. And I think Nico's from Florida. Yeah. But Texan.

And then Lawrence is a classic name. And it's probably a family name. Gorgeous. Love this name. So happy for them. I'm like, this is really just like a country fairy tale. It's a country fairy tale. I love them so much is really just like a a country fairy tale it's a country fairy tale I love them so much I was like screaming um you know being on Nico's close friends story like is

amazing are you on it yeah and so I think a lot of people thought she already had the baby but she was on the close friends being like nope not yet and so I didn't think it was coming so soon no I think it was imminent and also I I remember when she announced her, when they announced that they were pregnant, they were like coming spring 2022. And people were like to them, where's the baby? Like it's spring. And she was like, no, it's still spring. I think he literally came on the last day of spring. June 21st. Yeah, exactly. So happy for them, wishing them well, love them. And this is beautiful. Jackie, that's beautiful. That is beautiful. And the early days are just so special and so chaotic and crazy. Wishing them well.

So sweet. So sweet. Also, the American Academy of Pediatrics just put out new guidelines for healthy baby sleep, which everyone was sending me yesterday. If you're on mom Instagram, all of your accounts are posting graphics today. And it's really just obvious stuff. What does it say? Like, baby should sleep on on his back baby shouldn't have anything else in the crib but like this is now they they're saying it officially yeah you know no weighted blankets

swaddles or like who the fuck would put a weighted blanket on a baby a weighted swaddle might make them feel you know in theory might make them feel like yeah or crush them toasty uh no incline more than 10 inches in the crib like a pillow sort of thing got it anyways so check that out even though i'm sure you were all doing that already i'm sure you've heard it all before there was nothing that i was like oh crap i've been doing right right right crap crap crap even though sometimes i do check harry's camera and i do see like you know a stuffed animal no in the corner stuffed animal in the corner of his crib yeah the lies no there is there's not a stuffed animal there's like some shit you know no there's not not since he's been like since he reached two months oh okay yeah

Take your time. I think it was going to be good when I said it. We've got nowhere to be and all night to get there. Actually, we do have somewhere to be. We're recording an interview after this.

I know, and I need to pump in between. Okay, sorry. I think my thought is just going to get left. It has to go. By the side of the road. Collateral. Oh, got it back. I have to stop cursing.

I curse so much and I need to stop now because I can't curse like this around my son so now when I curse I need you to call me out okay that'll be hard for me just because for me the word fuck is like the word the

Yeah. Cool. Maybe we'll donate it to, you know, a cause that helps babies in need oh love baby to baby baby to baby love our next story philanthropic queens like that just took such a great turn no i know that's you know what that is turning a negi into a posse our next story hayley bieber is sued for trademark infringement over Rode skincare line. Hailey Bieber and her new beauty brand are in hot water. The model who launched her Rode skincare line on June 15th is being sued for trademark infringement by an eight-year-old fashion brand of the same name as first reported by TMZ.

In a statement to Page Six Style, the latter Rode's legal team claims Bieber tried to acquire the trademark from a design duo in 2018. When they refused, she allegedly went forward with launching her own brand anyway. They posted a statement to their Instagram saying, you know, they're very disheartened that Hailey would do this. Loser. I think you should read the statement. I have, like, really harsh thoughts on this. Me too, me too.

And I just want to say I have bought a dress from Shoproad that was in XL and I swear to god I couldn't get it over my thigh. So maybe they should focus on that instead of loser-y ass statements like this. But nevertheless I digress. Was that the loser sneeze? Yeah literally. What's the movie? I mean it's in everything in the 90s. No no no. But it's from like like a classic when he was like you have been doing the loser sneeze since loser is it bring it on yeah yeah and who put them in their place oh missy's brother of course yeah of course he did okay here's the statement from shop road nine years ago we quit our jobs and founded road out of our apartment creating a fashion company from nothing where two women entrepreneurs who met in college, built the road brand, and put years of hard work

into our minority co-owned company. Today, we were forced to file a lawsuit against Hailey Bieber and her new skincare line that launched last week, and that is using the brand Road. We didn't want to file this lawsuit, but we had to in order to protect our business. We admire Hailey. She's worked hard and earned the ability

to create her own skincare line. We don't want to sue Hailey. We want to celebrate her. As fellow women entrepreneurs, we wish her every success. Do you? Definitely. Haley could choose any brand for her skincare line. We have only the brand name Rode that we've built.

That's why we didn't sell her our brand when she asked four years ago and why we ask her now to change her skincare line's brand. Her using our brand is hurting our company, our employees, our customers, and our partners. Okay. I just want to say I have been a customer and I'm not hurt by this no and to be honest like this is the best thing that could happen to their company because now they put out this statement right everyone's reading it I personally had never heard of shop road I had and by the way they're fancy they sell at sacks their dresses are expensive yeah I bought a dress that was literally expensive and I was like first of

all it didn't fit and second of all it was like so like not made well so maybe I'm just biased because oh yeah it's cute stuff and now they have and now I'm seeing stuff I wouldn't have seen maybe I'll check out their brand I have so many thoughts thanks Haley the first thing is that it's not like the way that this set uh statement makes it seem it's like Haley saw the company road thought it was a cool word and stole it it's literally her name first of all so it's like it's not like she had it was a cool word and stole it. It's literally her name, first of all. So it's like, it's not like she had, it was their creative idea that she stole. Like literally she was born with this name, first of all. Second of all, they say when she tried to buy our company four years ago. Now I don't know this for a fact, but I would literally bet my entire life that she

didn't want to buy their clothing company. She probably wanted to buy like shoprode.com or the at username. People buy usernames all the time. I've bought usernames. We bought the Spritz username. So I think it's intentionally misleading. She's been watching us. She wanted to buy our whole company and then she decided to do it better. I think the wording there is very intentionally misleading. And two, first of all, one is a skincare brand. One is a clothing brand. So there's no way anyone is going to confuse, oh no, I bought the serum from ShopRode

when I thought it was Rode Hailey Bieber. Like literally you can't even buy one similar product. Does Rode sell ChapStick? Like it's so stupid, first of all. Second of all, things are allowed to have the same name legally in this country if they're different brands. Yeah, that's the thing for me with all of these cases. and I do feel like this one is the biggest reach of them all. Yeah. You know the last one was the Skakin and it was the facial services. But they were all skincare based so I

think everyone in a court of law might have ground to stand on. Lori Harvey, the facialist. Okay the facialist versus Kim I actually don't think she had ground to stand on because Kim wouldn't have been able to trademark it in her field if she had ground to stand on and she would have gone with a different name. But it is a little similar. So they're all in skincare. So there's a conversation to be had. Sure, sure. But is everyone, is anyone talking about how like Delta Airlines, there's also like a faucet company named Delta? Right. Magnolia Bakery, Magnolia, uh. Right. That's what this is. Joe Gaines. And when these things happen, I really defer to the trademark office because if it was a conflict, you wouldn't be able to trademark it. So if Haley, and I don't

think Haley Bieber would launch a brand that she couldn't have trademarked. That's like the first thing you do in business. So she's able to trademark her products with ease. Then she's not violating any laws. I think this lawsuit is a complete waste of their time and money. And this whole thing is thirsty and losers fees. And I'm getting tired of it. No, this thing, this is like such a reach. Like my arm is killing me. Um, and I felt like their statement was so like victim mentality and I think it was full of lies. Like I don't, and I don't know for this for a fact, but I would just bet anything that Haley Bieber did not try and buy their clothing company four years ago. I think they, their wording was intentionally confusing

because I do think she probably tried to buy some of the website donate domains or something else like I don't think she was out here buying clothing companies yeah so I just feel like this is like like people are seeing like even we were talking about before I had no idea Lori Harvey had a um skincare line and Lori Harvey never even posted anything it was other people pointing out skin by LH versus skin by Kim and it was great press for her I thought her website was gorgeous like I'd never heard of it now I'm like maybe I need to get something right so I think this is like a trend people are seeing and like if they position themselves as the victim against a big bad celebrity they're gonna get tons of press tons of sales tons of attention they are getting those

things but I think it's also like the discourse I've seen around this particular story is not similar to the ones I've seen about like Kim and Skin by LH like why do you think that is because people are seeing this and it's a reach. It's not the same category. Not even close. So it has literally, I can think of a million, Thrive Cosmetics, Thrive Market. I could think of a thousand companies in this country that are in different sectors that literally Swift Trucking, Taylor Swift. Like I could think of a thousand cross category brands that have this similar or same or even

just one word. Right. And at least this is her name. It's just, this is such a reach and it's giving like loser energy. Sorry, I don't want to be mean, but like I just feel like this is like taking advantage of like a movement. Right. When you really don't have a leg to stand on.

And like most things, it started in earnest. Yeah. And now people are really just reaching here. Like I was reading the comments on a, actually they were, they were actually extreme. A lot of our toasters are like extremely smart legal girlies. And so people were just having conversations in our Facebook group about. And I also want to read the comments on the post. Yeah.

I'm sure it's like, stay strong. Right. But hold on, let me find it. Because I thought it was very astute. You know? Smart girlies doing their legal tang. Let's see. Let's see.

Road, road, road. Oh, here. Oh, my God. Literally stay strong. Okay. Are people saying stay strong? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

Okay. Some people are saying they're signing with the business. Some people said this is definitely a PR move. It's not illegal to use the same name in different industries. They probably asked four years ago to avoid this exact same thing, not to steal her name. Right. A lot of people said she also didn't ask if she could use their name.

She asked if she could buy their name, probably for domain purposes, not for trademarking. Someone else said Haley is not going to change the name, nor should she really. As I gather, wrote as a clothing brand, is trademarked as it is a clothing brand if they were working in skincare this would be a different story Haley using the name in a completely different space and market isn't wrong of her also her team asking to buy the name four years ago isn't that odd it would have been odd if they hadn't reached out in hopes of buying the name if anything I would imagine

this would be a pop would be positive for their brand not causing them any Someone else, I basically live in trademarks for my job. I thought I'd share what actually exists and what is currently live and active. This is Haley's trademark filing. I will attach the other two for the same names. Hers is filed first out of all three. That's interesting. And of the other two are claiming both clothing and retail. So Haley did it first and it's in a different category.

Also, none of them were filed even close to four years ago, like this company is claiming. I feel like it's easy for people to pretend to be mad with celebrities for made-up reasons with no substance, and this is what it feels like. And she has screenshots. So that's actually really interesting. Hailey's road skincare was trademarked before any of the others, and they're in different categories,

which is really what this whole conversation is about. Oh, well, that's that on that then yeah I just don't like um like people using like a movement to like of course it's like it's weird to get it doesn't feel genuine I don't think victim pr victim pr especially when I literally know for a fact this hasn't affected their business one ounce no it's the complete opposite I personally never heard of shop road these are nice dresses I'll check them out. Yeah, so it's like Hailey. And they know that. Saying Hailey's hurting our employees, our customers, our partners.

Drama. Hailey's hurting your customers? No, we're fine. We are literally fine. Hailey's hurting their customers. Yeah, no. It's crazy. No, but this is like a trend now.

And at first it was like crazy. And now I'm like, all right, relax. No, it's just, it needs to be called out. Yeah. And that's that. Yeah. On that. On that.

More fashion news from your fashion girlies. From your fascists. That's a joke from friends. I was going to say more fashion news from your fashion girlies who wear the same thing every day and keep matching. More fashion girlies from your Maxinistas. Yeah. From Shop Amazon. Yeah. From Missy Empire. Has anybody heard of this website Missy Empire? I saw an Instagram ad from a girl that I follow and she was wearing a set collared

and shorts and that's all I've been wearing obviously and I went. Sweat collared and shorts are all that fits me right now. No collared shirts and shorts are all that fits me right now and they look nice and and proper and professional And so I was influenced by her. And I went to Missy Empire. And it looks just like Missguided. The whole website. And it's Missy, Missguided. I Googled to see if they're related.

I didn't find anything. No, but those Instagram ads are getting better. It used to be like a scam. If you ever in your life. No, it was a girl. It was an influencer. Grand deal. Well, if you ever in your life see an ad for a website called Z Crave.

Don't buy their ski suits. Don't buy it. First of all for a website called Z Crave, don't buy their ski suits. Don't buy it. First of all, they don't let you return. Don't buy their ski suits, you guys. That was the biggest scam I'd ever in my life, and it made me so wary of Instagram. That was Facebook, actually. Yeah, Snitch and I once got matching cool ski suits

from one of those websites, and it was like, hers was pink and mine was blue, and mine was pink and hers was blue, and it was like furry, and we would have been like two snow buddies on the slopes couldn't have been cuter yeah they might as well have sent a hot bag of garbage because it was crap crap yeah you have to be so careful these days you we would have been so cute i know okay our fashion news harry styles and gucci are teaming up for a playful 1970s inspired collection called Ha Ha Ha Collection and it's inspired by Harry's friendship with the Briann, Briann's, with the Briann of Tarth.

With the brand's creative director Alessandro Michele. Oh so H and A. Ha ha. H, oh Harry and Alessandro. I didn't understand the Ha Ha Ha Collection ha collection me neither i was like is it funny are you comic um this is cute honestly i don't know if like harry's fans are out here buying gucci suits because i think they're really young but for harry's brand this is great um the stuff looks cute he's so like he's so fashion he's so fashion and a fellow fascist. Even though his fans aren't, you know, probably buying Gucci men's suits. He is like an icon in the fashion world.

And this is really like good for his brand. And he's Gucci. And Gucci is him. And it's perfect. And he's known for like 70s retro. 70s patterned suits. It's a no brainer. Yeah.

I think this is really smart. And it just makes me think about like like, celebrity collabs with, like, major fashion houses. Remember Ariana Grande for, what was it, Givenchy? Givenchy, yeah. That was, like, random. What did she do for them? What was the collection? What did they do for her?

I don't remember. I don't know. Obviously, there's Kim and Balenciaga, which I can visualize what that looks like. You know, long leggings over your feet and gloves. And the bags. Yeah, and the bags yeah and the bags so I don't really um I like that Ariana Grande collab was weird but what's different is like those were like um we're gonna be the face of this brand this is a collaboration collection yes yes yes

that's true um also the brand said the phrase ha ha ha is how much uh Alessandra Michelle and Harry have ended their messages to each other for years since uh meeting i just feel like that's like a little personal no so that's why it's called that but it's also like harry it's their initials it's their initials yeah this stuff is really cute harry styles is like really killing it like i know with the music with his personal life he seems happy his nail polish uh company is like doing so well, pleasing. Like Harry is that bitch. Like he's really like kind of like the biggest rock star in the world. No, for real.

The way like. And what's nice about it is that he really is worthy and he's so talented. You know, it's not like everybody's just obsessed with someone who stinks. No, and it's like this. Not that they stink, but it's like, it's not confusing. Like, and this is not me railing on BTS, but like when you, when they first came on the scene, we were like confused. Like, how are there literally a million people at a stadium?

And now I understand it. But with Harry, it's like, we've watched his progress. And honestly, now that I've known BTS for a few years, I can say they are extremely worthy. Oh, by the way, we never made it a story. You know, they're going on hiatus. I see that is that crazy it is crazy but you know me holding out hope as always no but hiatus and I just don't think like even though this is gonna hurt me to say like Little Mix is not BTS like I don't I guess they're like the Beatles you know

yes and all good things must come to an end because I was gonna say how do you walk away from that but like people do it every day no I know and I wanted to get your take on something me and Ben were arguing about yesterday you know Marcus Mumford is leaving Mumford and Sons he's going solo okay and me and Ben were going back and forth on like whether he would be successful or not and Ben like didn't even know his first name and Ben was like this is the worst idea ever he's gonna flop and I'm like I think he's gonna be huge I think it's gonna be the same right because why like why can't he just like go solo and bring the rest of the band with him? Isn't it him singing anyway? And it's literally Mumford and Sons. Like they

could just call Mumford. No, I know. And, um, why does things have to be this way? Why does everything have to be so extreme? But the band had already started falling apart. Like last year, one of the band members left. Um, so I feel like it was only a matter of time but like how do you perceive Mumford and Sons like me and Ben were on two different pages I said like they're not at the same level but they remind me similarly to like Coldplay that's what I thought you were gonna say agreed just like Ben thought I was crazy for saying that they're just such a well-respected band they're not like the thirstiest but like they draw huge crowds thank you oh my god I feel so validated Ben thought I was crazy I'm like they literally play stadiums I went to one of their concerts

it was like in college it was literally the biggest place I've ever been I'm sure it was an amazing show it was incredible I used to be such a mumford and what's crazy about mumford and sons you would think and this is how you know the power of mumford you would think that we wouldn't like them because they're so not us. They're indie. They're not sceney. No. They're alternative yet they are for everyone. Okay I'm so glad you agree. I feel so validated because I'm like am I crazy or like I literally the clips I see like on social media from some of their concerts they don't go on tour a lot but when I do it's like hundreds of thousands of people. Okay I feel so validated. Thank you. Yeah. And by the way you know Marcus Mumford wrote the theme song for Ted Lasso. It's his song.

Yes, yes. Yeah, and it's really good. So he's been doing like his own thing, him and Carey Mulligan. Are they together? Married. Yeah, I was trying to think who he's married to because I remembered as someone famous, which is so exciting. No, and then Ben was like, who's Carey Mulligan?

And that's when I knew I couldn't talk to him anymore. It can be frustrating. Carey Mulligan, okay? Okay, are you ready for our next story? No. Okay, good. ready for our next story? No. Okay, good. Is it hot in here today? Um, yeah.

It's been like freezing in here every day, so we come in in our shorts for the summer, and now I'm sweating. Today's episode is brought to you by Thuma.

So Garcelle is sitting down with People Magazine to talk about her struggle with the painful skin condition of eczema. So I saw this yesterday on social media. It was like a digital cover. It was a beautiful picture of Garcelle, literally my queen, because I am going to rail on her. So I just want to say, like, I love this woman. Love Adore Stan. Respect.

Like, she's turning out to be one of my favorite housewives in history. So before, so it was this digital cover. And it was it was like you know people is always like breaking news about you know my life with some and it said Garcelle Bouvet opening up about my life with eczema and I was like oh um okay because like eczema is extremely common i had it when i was a kid like it's extremely common it affects more than 31 million americans right and it's just like it's i didn't know it was something that you had like an article written about you know yeah yeah that you have to and i'm not you know doubting her journey or her trauma but it's this this is just like classic celeb like you need when you get pressed as a celebrity like

you need like a something a hook and like this is just kind of like a like a light hook extremely light hook I think that's a kind way of putting it right um I don't know why she even like needs extra press she gets so much just from like the show her like the real I would just want to hear Garcelle talk about my life as Garcelle no so true that's a cover I would read and I was just like really confused by this because to me having eczema is like definitely an inconvenience but it's not like a life-altering thing unless you have like the worst case of eczema ever and it's all over your face for the most part people who struggle with eczema get like especially in the winter like patches on their legs and arms yeah

she said she started getting patches behind her knees. Right. So it's definitely inconvenient to me. Like the equivalent is like having to wear contact lenses. Like there's something slightly off, but it doesn't change your life. So this to me, I was like, Garcelle Bouvet, my life with glasses. Like it just, it seemed like a lot. I was confused.

Yeah. Yeah. But literally love, respect the fuck out of Garcelle. I was just like, but I also, I did see a TikTok about Garcelle. It was GMN, Garcelle's Mindless News. Thank you. I was looking for like the perfect way to wrap it up and you just did it. Yeah.

I did see this TikTok of Garcelle. Like no one putting enough respect on Garcelle's name for being like the absolute 90s style icon. If you go and look at her red carpet photos from the 90s when she was like up and coming, she was in Coming to America. Like she's literally like everyone's always posting like, you know, Johnny Depp and Winona. Like she's that bitch. Like on my way.

Her little glasses and her like maxi bodycon dresses. Like she's so sickening. I'm on my way. Here I am. And just like look up like a 90s red carpet 90s that's all you need yeah everything of the sort it like she's like a tumblr account like it's so sickening that's what she should have done a interview on yeah my life as a 90s fashion icon yeah that's extremely interesting to me yeah wow take a trip down memory lane on

google you guys like you will die because garcelle obviously we know her now she's like very glamorous but she was like doing like the perfect understate understated 90s glam like a little makeup little glasses little purse little choker little dress yeah it was kind of everything of the sort okay i'll go down a rabbit hole at a later date and you're making like a 90s mood board make sure to include garcelle yeah our fifth and final story are you ready for it is it um is it the final story it's the 90s

Our fifth and final story, Brad Pitt is on the cover of GQ talking about his acting career. He said he considers himself on his last leg. He said this last semester or trimester, what is this section going to be? And how do I want to design that? That's kind of crazy. He is 58.

So I guess if we're going in tries, I mean, this would be the third trimester. It's like low key dramatic. Yeah. What is with everyone today in the drama? Yeah. Our customers,

my eczema, my last, I'm dying. My last act last act at 58 no this is like saying like like does he have an illness it sounds like he's on his way out yeah this is a quote that will speak to you I'm one of those creatures that speaks through art I just always want to make if I'm not making sounds like you should go to the bathroom who was it I think it was like Kristen our friend who said like one of her ics is like when someone says they have to make or like about a dog having to go to that ew who the fuck says that you say that to kids like you have to make that like not we're adults you have to go to the bathroom take a dump or even make a duty piss like you have to make yeah it's agreed and that's what it sounds like so I just want to

always make if I'm not making I'm dying in some way honestly um now that just makes me think of like Brad Pitt sweating crying screaming for help on the toilet yeah because he's making um I think this is hella dramatic I do wonder what he will do next. But I don't care because he's like so handsome that he could literally work until he's 100. Yeah. He also said that he's quit cigarettes. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. Cigarettes are like so big in Hollywood. People don't talk about that a lot. Yeah. And so is vaping, especially for some people who have quit. I wonder if he's vaping. I wonder if he's vaping, too. But I just feel like when we were kids, like in tablo like the Nicole Richie Paris Lindsay era like we they were

always smoking cigarettes yeah and now it's like taboo so we think that they don't do it anymore they just don't do it in public like whenever I've been around celebrities they're literally chain smoking cigarettes that's so interesting yeah and you know what it makes me think of um when the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills went to Dubai and like literally Lisa Vanderpump finally got called out and Jake went back to her room with Ken crying. She started chain smoking cigarettes. And it's like she probably does smoke cigarettes,

but we've never seen it on the show. Yeah, I think it's like now how a lot of reality stars vape and hide it. Yes, but in the early days of Vanderpump rules, they were chain smoking outside. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So interesting. Suck a dick, Diana.

She had a cigarette in her mouth. And it's funny how like everyone hides smoking cigarettes or even vaping but they don't hide smoking weed yeah well because I think like you know one could argue the list of benefits from smoking weed and I don't think there's literally one benefit from ripping a cigarette cool forgot about that so true so those are the fast five stories Brad Pittis quit cigarettes how cool is she oh my god I'm so cool if you've seen the not like other girls tour none of this is a surprise to you and if you haven't seen it I do feel sorry for you but I won't in a few weeks and that's me being subtle we love subtle let's leave it at that I know you're dying no I was gonna leave it at that you're keep going oh sorry anyways be cool smoke a cig just kidding I'm kidding no today's okay let me I feel like I have to say this now everything you've heard here today is a joke we are not fascists we don't think smoking cigarettes is cool kind of um and eczema is a big deal should we continue on to dear toasters

If you ever want to write in, you're having any trouble, you know, at home with your relationship, with your friends, with your boss, deartoasters at gmail.com. Hey, girly girls. I'm a huge fan, and I love you both so much.

P.S. Jackie, I just had a baby boy two weeks after you, and I've been on this crazy motherhood journey right along with you, sis. Thank you. Oh, man, you're welcome. I'm so curious to hear what you have to say. And now thinking of it through the lens of a new mama, I got you.

Thank you for, like, the pertinent context. Extremely. Now on to my dilemma. My husband's parents have been happily married for almost 30 years, and they live out of town. Recently, my father-in-law came to visit my husband and I by himself for a father-son golf outing. On our way home from dinner that evening, I was seated in the back seat behind my father-in-law while my husband was driving. Without intending to, I looked up and oversaw my father-in-law's phone screen while he was texting.

I saw a message from him saying we had just left dinner and he wanted her for dessert, along with other messages that said something about kissing. I immediately looked away and my first thought was how sweet that he still sends flirty text messages to his wife. But then something in me made me look at his phone again and that's when I saw the name at the top of the text thread was not his wife. Then to solidify the pit I was feeling when we got home he announced that he hadn't heard from his wife all evening and she must have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to be texting on our couch for the rest of the night. What would you do with this information?

Do I tell my husband what I saw or do I continue to mind my own damn business and not worry about it? Please help a toaster with a pit. This is so tough. This is so tough. Because you don't want to be like a snitch and you do want to mind your own business. But like. And like how can you even keep this like from your husband?

Even if you both decide not to do anything of it about it like wouldn't he want to know just even if you're just gonna like be shook together yeah but then also like you're a woman who supports other women like would you want to know 30 years later he wants someone else for dessert like have her no um I would say to dump this burden on your husband and let him decide what to do with it. Yeah. It's his parents. No, but, like, they've been together 30 years. His whole life is, and he just had a new baby, and, like, he's gonna, his whole premise is going to be off if he finds out that his dad.

Well, he'll have to grow up. He's about to be a father. I don't. Oh, he is a father. He is a father. I think you just swallow it and let these people, let the chips fall to where they may. It feels wrong. And, like, what if down the

line something happens and like your husband says like you you didn't tell me like he wanted I don't think you'll ever regret telling him but I do think you might regret not telling him just your husband yeah it would be really hard to not tell your husband and like to one to keep something from him but also like something so big and no and then it's like someone else's lie becomes your lie and like now you're becoming implicated in this web of lies dump it on him it's his parents it's not your fucking problem well you were on snooping just kidding no no I'm kidding I'm kidding uh yeah if you can't live with it keeping it to yourself no if you can't die with it yeah then you got to tell someone yeah and you could tell your husband to make it his problem and ruin his life sure yeah ruin everything he thought to be good and true in this world but at least you'll feel good yeah yeah no this is

about you you just had a baby like keeping the secret is like in a lot of ways very selfless yes but also I just I don't think anyone really ever regrets telling the truth like of course not that's like the real lesson but also no good deed goes unpunished true so these are conflicting ideologies there's also the route you could take like directly directly to your father-in-law but like that's extremely brave what that's that's extremely brave not your job no it's not your job so here you have two paths which one sounds more appealing to you? What kind of person are you? Can you live? Can you die with it? Do you want to? Do you think your husband could handle it? Does he think his parents relationship is perfect? And this will

literally send him into a midlife crisis, right? That's the thing. Like what is his perception of his parents? Cause like some people, especially those elite few whose parents have been married for 30 years, like put their parents on a pedestalal maybe he like puts his dad on a pedestal so like if this actually would like shake the foundation of the earth in which he walks like you might want a second guess telling him but if he's like a rational human being who's like oh it's nice my parents are still married I wonder how they do it then I think he might be able to take it right right some people especially like the older you get you think you get more mature but the older you get and the older like you're the longer your parents have been married like it gives you like a superiority complex yeah so what kind of

man is your husband that's on you to decide but either keep it to yourself or just tell your husband depending on all of these things good luck to you girl best wishes best wishes hey girlies long time listener first time caller my son has become really good friends with a kid named maverick and they've been hanging out all summer break. Your son sounds awesome. Awesome. So does your son's friend. I really like Maverick and I've always treat my kids friends to dinner, ice cream, etc. if they're in my home. Recently, whenever my son goes to Maverick's, he's been asking me for money because Maverick's parents don't treat. Personally, I would be mortified as a parent to ask a 12-year-old for money, but I just let it go. The other day while picking up my son,

I got to talking to Maverick's mother, and she asked me about some money my son owed her. I thought this was incredibly weird, but I just promised to Venmo her. Do you guys think it's weird? Should I say something to her because I pay for her son? Please help. Sincerely, a confused toaster.

That's so weird. I mean, this isn't something I've experienced yet. Me neither. But just the idea of a grown woman saying your son owns me money is really weird yeah and so it does just make me this there's always a difference between cheap between being cheap and being poor and I'm not sure which scenario this is but if she's like a mom and she's busy and she needs the money like part of me is like just give her the money um but then like the petty part of me is like okay well you also have to start Venmoing her.

I think the concept of asking the kid for money is very weird, but asking like later on in the week, like for the mom to reimburse is less weird. Yeah, but it's framing it as your kid owes me money. No, it's bizarre. I took the kids to get ice cream, like it was this much.

No, this is really weird, but like you really never know what like someone's financial situation is like of course like you know for someone like you who sounds financially stable enough to treat the kids you think this is crazy but if like someone's in a different scenario than you but they don't have to be going out for ice cream they could just play like in the house right it costs zero dollars to ride a bike right and have snacks at home and snacks at home yeah this is so uncomfortable and honestly I have not one piece of advice i don't know i literally don't know how to navigate this maybe some fellow mamas could share in the youtube comments what's

typically done here because it's not something i've ever thought about because you know what if the situation is like we're not going to pay for our kids friends then fine no one's paying and then we'll all reimburse each other later on but then it's this it goes against this woman's principles to ask a 12 year old for money no she wouldn't be asking the 12 year old she'd be asking the mom like when when she came to pick up her son got it but it can't be one way it can't be i'm paying for your kid and i'm paying for my kid too yeah yeah i think people with kids need to weigh in lead it lead the right charge i never i never thought about it. Me neither. So.

Good luck. I'm sorry. What's done. This is like literally horrifying. I have nothing to add. No, me neither. This is our third and final one. Okay.

Hey, Claudia and Jackie. Just want to start off by saying congratulations on the new Bebe. Claudia, congratulations on your second tour. I saw you in Chicago and you were the highlight of my trip. Now let's get into it. To give you a brief background on my situation, I'm 32 years old and I just broke up with my boyfriend of three years. I was heartbroken to say the least.

But because of that, I moved out of our place together and now I'm temporary living at home with my mom. Since being home, whenever I need help with some things around the house that require some heavy lifting, I always call my neighbor to see if he can help. His name is Maverick. It's such a popular boy name. And I just want to say, you guys, we're not changing these names. People are writing in exclusively using Maverick. It's such a popular boy name. And I just want to say, you guys, we're not changing these names. People are writing in exclusively using Maverick. So she

calls her neighbor Maverick to help her out. Okay. I love it. Hallmark movie. Well, Maverick, who I literally used to babysit as a kid, grew up to be the hottest man. Of course he did. We've recently started exchanging some flirty DMs back and forth. And let's just say there's a lot of sexual tension there. Okay. The only issue is he's 23 and I'm 32. And my question for you is, do I just go for it?

A part of me thinks that hooking up with his old babysitter would be his wet dream. But another part of me is like, what the fuck am I doing? These people have been my neighbors for 30 plus years. So I don't want to get into anything awkward. But at the same time, I'm kind of in a, I don't give a fuck mood right now.

Please help. Signed, A Slightly Cougary Toaster. I read this book last night. Okay. First of all, really recommend it. Part of your world.

Okay. And she's 37 and he's 28 and like at first she can't get over it because it's like so disgusting but then like it really doesn't matter. Yeah,

but also 37, 28 is different. A 28 year old male is very different from a 23 year old male. Those five years are critical. Yeah, and as much as I,

I'm usually like throw caution to the wind like just fucking do it 23 is like a little young and that plus like you need the help around the house like you don't want to make things awkward and like this is a 30-year neighborly friendship like is it worth all the benefit losing those benefits if things get awkward yeah I'm thinking no I'm thinking no even though I'm always like yeah just fucking I know people are gonna be like just do it YOLO you know caution to the wind and you're in this season of your life but like there's a handyman is really hard to come by no and there are like 25 year olds who don't live next door to you yeah like if you're feeling cougary that I'm like yeah fucking do it if not now when because he's 23 it's because like

you have no intention of anything serious with him and like you need his help no but it's also a little because he's 23 like it's just a little too young if he were older i'd be like we'll get married no he's 25 something about 23 is like a little too close to college yeah yeah and there's no potential for a relationship because he's so young i was ready for this to be like the Hallmark movie. The happy ending end of your story. But I'm going to say no. I'm going to say no too. I think you'll regret doing it.

You actually might regret also not doing it. But just if you're looking to go fuck someone else who's like young, go. Go love that journey for you. I'm sure there's an app for that.
