Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to The Toast and happy Thursday. Hope everybody's having a great day. Rip, Theo. How are you? Rippity, rip, rip, rippity, rip. Wait, can we talk about something? Rip, rip, rip, rip, rip, rip, rip. That? That first.

Literally, this show is all about us talking about some things. So kick us off. Like, Theo died. I I know it hits me like that sometimes too like where it's like of course I know Theo's no longer with us but then sometimes I realize like Theo's no longer with us right like he's not at his grandparents like he's literally dead like what the fuck he just like vanished poof unless who am I who am i poof theo allegedly yeah unless he's a sex slave in someone's basement sex slave dora sex slave dora now i've i've made peace like i i realized like those were hallucinations like those that was my denial phase totally yeah but actually a lot of people

messaged me like people who have lost someone like humans dogs and they're like we have this running joke in my family because we never saw you know our grandmother's body that like she's literally still alive like that okay I'm glad I'm glad I wasn't the only one who had that insane irrational fear yeah no I think that's real you've got to see the body you've got to get confirmation I know you've got to literally do a pulse check so now I know the next time you know god forbid god forbid like I lose someone I got to do triple checks yeah just a little you know and actually I learned how to take someone's pulse I feel like people just like put their fingers on their necks and I'm like you're not feeling

like I never could figure it out and then I recently not recently like a couple years ago I went to a wedding um it was like in a ski town so we were on this gondola and I was on the gondola with another wedding guest who was a cardiologist and he just like I told him I was like freaking out like about the gondola and he took my pulse I'm like hey how do you do that and I figured it out now it's actually much easier on the wrist let's take my pulse oh wait I lost it out now. It's actually much easier on the wrist. Let's take my pulse. Oh, wait. I lost it. I always forget.

I forget to breathe when I take my pulse. So then I can't find it. You should have a pulse even when you're holding your breath. Okay. I feel it. I feel it. Oh, it's kind of weird. I don't like it.

It is weird. I don't feel mine. Uh-oh. Two fingers on your wrist, like a little bit lower than you would think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got some. Turdy. She's deaf. on your wrist like a little bit lower than you would think yeah yeah i've got some dirty she's dead oh no call an ambulance call an ambulance call an ambulance you find it it's also hard to like listen to someone talking a fun fact about me is that I have a very low pulse like yeah when I go to the doctor like it's it's low when Dr. Fox called it a runner's pulse

are you a runner she's a runner she's a track runner but I feel that way I feel like I don't breathe unless it's completely necessary you know you don't breathe unless told to I don't take extraneous breaths like Ben takes extraneous breaths. I mean, that's putting it mildly. Like I think Ben like breathes double the amount that I breathe. It's like one of the meanest things you could say to someone. Really? I know what you're saying, but like the implication is that it's just like this gorilla.

Like the thing is, though, he's like svelte now and it's still true. So it's really not a weight thing. Wait, speaking of Ben, I had my ski lesson yesterday. I know. And speaking of Ben, it's because if you watch my vlog on Patreon, I really could not find anyone to come with me. And I was just like nervous about driving there by myself, parking, filming, vlogging and learning to ski all at the same time. So Ben did take me and he waited in the car, which was so nice. The vlog was amazing. I don't want to spoil anything, but I vlogged my whole experience yesterday driving out to New Jersey for a ski lesson. It's on Patreon at patreon.com slash toast.

But I want to talk about the ski lesson because what I did was shred some gnar. It was, I was incredible. Now, let me tell you skiing is so hard yeah and I didn't they just kind of like the best way to learn it's sort of like baptism by fire like they just kind of send you down yeah and I didn't really know and it's like you learn slowly like I thought you just ski you like squat and you go like you just go straight but if you do that like you go so fucking fast yeah that's like what ski racers do if you want to slow it down you got to cut it up it's like boom boom boom boom so I was learning that slowly over time but there was one minute you know one there was one run where they just

essentially throw you down I would pay 10 million dollars to have watched myself on that thing like Jackie I was screaming the fact that I didn thing. Like Jackie, I was screaming. The fact that I didn't fall is a miracle. I was screaming, Ethan, Ethan. He was my instructor. He was amazing. Ethan greater than. Ethan greater than.

I got the best possible instructor and he was so down to be in my vlog, which was so nice. And he was kind of the star. And he had like charisma, personality, and he was a really great instructor as seen in Turdy's new skills. Also, I feel like other people should go take ski lessons at this mall. So what's so funny is one of my best friends, Margo,

she's not a skier, but she went skiing like a couple of years ago with her in-laws and she also took a lesson before. And she was, she texted me, she's like, wait, are you going to the American Dream Mall? That's what I did. I'm like, oh, yeah. Honestly, everyone should do it before going on a trip. Because I have taken a lesson on a mountain. It's such chaos. And if you're going with a group of people like I was, like, nobody wants to wait with me with my lesson. And then I'm all alone.

Like, it kind of sucks. So preparing before. Now, of course, indoor skiing is not the same as outdoor skiing. And the big run quote that I did is, I think, probably one-tenth of an an actual. Yeah. Trail whatever you call it. Yeah. But and that's kind of what's freaking me out is like OK I would go down this run and it would take like 30 seconds but a real run is what 10 minutes. Yeah. Well the thing is the hardest part of skiing I think once you know how to ski is when you're not on a run it's walking over to the chairlift it's waiting on line and shuffling up

and using your sticks and navigating and then getting on the chairlift, which I don't want to spoil your video, but the chairlift, imagine a chairlift going up an actual mountain. Jackie, the chairlift is the most horrible place on the planet. No, I know.

It's really not pleasant. But there are some chairlifts, a lot of them, especially the runs that we do, are bare bones chairlifts, like what you did, one bar. Great. But there are some chairlifts, especially when're gonna ski where it's enclosed and it's a

little more Ethan was telling me about that and then he was showing me pictures of the gondola he went on in Alaska he's kind of like a like a big time skier you have to be if you're teaching ski lessons yeah so do I feel prepared no am prepared? Yes. I might still do one more lesson when we get there. Yeah, you should. Or take the instructor with us. That's the thing. I just want to have someone with me because I felt so much peace. I'm like, Ethan, please just stay close to me.

Yeah. Because there was one time when I literally almost died and he helped me slow down. Having a professional nearby, even if I don't touch them, just knowing that they're there, I think would bring me a lot of peace. Yeah, you should and that way we can all meet like at the bottom of we're not all having to go at the same speed but we actually meet incrementally throughout the run we don't all just meet at the bottom like we'll stop well I told Ben like he's not allowed to leave my side I think being alone on the mountain is the scariest part of course you're we've never when I see with Ben and Margo none of us are ever alone on the mountain for more than like three minutes and then like there's at the end of a a hill like we

wait for each other and then we continue going we should just like kind of be tethered to each other which I know is like so dangerous also so unsafe yeah yeah that's no but then you know you just think about like skiing is so unnecessary like people die skiing like why are we doing this for the thrill of it. I know, but we're not thrill-seeking individuals. No, and the way that we ski is not that thrilling. We only do green runs and we take it at our own pace. It's very leisurely, but it's pleasant.

It's to be out in nature, you know, to be working your body. It's like working out while also taking in the great outdoors. So we don't really do it for the thrill, but we also don't really ski in a way that's like really unsafe competitive ben did say it's like the one thing you were missing that skiing is all about is like you were inside so there's no you know beautiful trees and mountains and vistas to look at so i am looking forward to that also the run that i did ethan said is like it's like a it's considered a blue it's like an easy blue but it's a blue so i'm not gonna do a blue i It's like an easy blue, but it's a blue. So I'm not going to do a blue. I'm going to do the easy one, which is a green, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So that's just like more flat kind of? Yeah, less steep, less twists and turns. It's just the easiest one. Okay, so I feel like I overprepared in a sense. Yeah, for sure. I'm excited. I saw your footage. You're ready.

You do? You think? Yeah, you're ready for your first day of skiing. 100%. Yeah. Honestly, it's a great place to learn I think if I was like an avid skier I wouldn't find those facilities so much fun because and this is what I was saying to Ethan and Ethan was like that's the essence of skiing it's a lot of work for a little bit of fun like getting on the chair lift with the skis and the boots like it's a lot of torture for like a small thrill. It is. But at least for me, the thrill and the fun of it outweighs the torture.

That's why we continue to do it. That's how fun it is because we know the torture threshold is high. Yeah. So I was like dreading it all day, but I ended up having a blast. I feel like I was, it was very successful. And then I got to eat at Yardhouse afterwards, which is honestly so much better than Cheesecake Factory. Like not enough people talk about that. What's Yard House?

I know. So I only discovered Yard House when I was on tour because pretty much every venue, like when you would like order dinner, Yard House was always an option. I'm like, all right, Yard House, Yard. And then I just realized it's kind of like a BJ's Brewhouse. It's a chain,

but it's not as well known as Cheesecake Factory. It is so much better. Nice. What'd you get aside from fries? I got chicken lettuce wraps they were so good they were so and Ben got ahi tuna taco nachos like yeah it was so good and it was happy hours we got like so many appetizers some diet cokes and it was like 33 dollars yum well I was also watching your vlog and it was making me a little bit sad about this mall because it's like someone

somewhere decided we're gonna spend all this money so that people like get out there and have fun and do activities and like live and nobody small was built outside it's like they built it they built it and they did not come and it's sad it's like okay so you could what sit on your phone all day like go to the mall go yeah ski go to the water park like they're trying to make real fun activities for people. And the people said, no, thank you. There is a mall that's a few years old. Some company spent a billion dollars building this mall.

It's like Mr. Beast filmed a video there. It's like this insane mall, water parks, indoor skiing, luxury shopping, food court. Like it's huge. It's right by MetLife Stadium. And it was built for the people of New York and New Jersey. And I mean, a mall at Christmas time is pandemonium. Not the one I was at last night. Like people like just don't go to this mall.

Yeah, I guess at the time, you know, it's not peak mall hours, like between three and five on a Wednesday. During the holidays. We'll give them a pass there. But it's like we, no one I know really goes, you know, it's not like we see tons of stuff happening there. I know Kim went once. She took her kids skiing.

Yep. Yep. No, and that's how I knew about it. And hopefully this Patreon gives them a boost because from what I saw in the vlog, I saw successful indoor skiing. I saw great instructors. I saw a beautiful ceiling that you were constantly filming in front of. I heard Kelly Clarkson underneath the tree on the soundtrack,

and I saw a gorgeous meal, and I can't even imagine what other offerings there are there. So get out there and go to the Mall of Dreams. American Dream Mall. American Dream Mall. And a gorgeous name. I had a blast. Like, no complaints.

Parking was $5 for a couple of hours, which was pretty reasonable. Like, it was good stuff. And what town is it in? East Rutherford. It's right next to MetLife Stadium where the Jets Giants and Taylor Swift play. It's not that far. If you can get to a Jets game, you can get to the mall.

Aaron Rodgers should go to the mall. If you can see the Nidge, you could see the ad. Adam. You could see the Adam for sure. Adam? So greater than Nidge? Yes. Something to think about. Something to think Adam. So greater than Nidge? Yes. Something to think about. Something to think about.

Everyone go check out that vlog. I hope you all enjoyed it. It's also just some great like Ben Sopper celebrity footage. You know listening to Lionel Richie in the car. It's a lot of Turdy and Ben. Oh we did a little mukbang too. Because we went to Mrs. Fields. I was so hungry after skiing.

Like it's really just so physical. I know. You really. You work up an appetite. It's fun. And then you eat on the mountain. They have like such good food. They better. Yeah. They've got, I mean, they have it all. And then you get a little hot cocoa, but we always, they have like fried foods. It's tasty, tasty. And the only thing is sometimes there's restaurants at the top of

the mountain, middle of the mountain, bottom of the mountain usually. And so sometimes it's fun to eat at the top of the mountain because it's really nice views and everything, but then you have to ski down. Then you go down with a full belly it's the hardest run no I would never um a lot of people like ski in the morning eat lunch and then ski in the afternoon I've never successfully skied post lunch like I need to be I need to be empty I feel I feel that yeah but I'm also a little nervous to ski this year I haven't skied in two years which not even that but I'm carrying a little extra weight and I just hope that I'm able to to get around but you're carrying extra weight because you gave birth to two human beings and that gives you like more superpowers like for real true and that's true I'm not worried okay okay I should be okay but it's just like it won't

be the same exact like weight and good so maybe we're on the same level now. Perhaps, yeah. And it's, you'll get onto our level pretty quickly because Snitch and I, we don't really advance to the next level because we don't challenge ourselves, but we're happy with that. Like it's enough for us dying. And then sometimes if we're on a ski trip

and like we've been doing the greens for a few days, maybe we'll try one blue for like we're feeling crazy. And that's also enough for us dying now. Ben told me he went to Vail like before the pandemic and he went skiing with his friends and one of his friends is a very good skier and they were on the chairlift and one of his friends like tricked him saying that they were going to a blue and they went to a double black diamond and i said ben that is literally like the nastiest prank like i would not be friends with that person no ben needs a new friend and ben saw it ben's Ben's like a like a victim. He saw it like, no, he was really trying to challenge me. I'm like, he's trying to hurt you. He's trying to kill you. Oh, that reminds me, speaking of victims, I watched the dumbest

fucking movie last night. What movie? Everyone's talking about it. May, December. It's that Netflix original with Natalie Portman, Julianne Moore and Charles Melton from Riverdale. And it's loosely based off Mary Kay Leturdia. You know, the famous school teacher who had an affair with her seventh grader and then ended up marrying him and having a bunch of kids with him. She just actually recently passed. And so it's loosely based off of that. But like the events of the movie aren't based on true events. It's just like the concept.

May, December. I don't understand why the movie was made. I didn't understand the point of the movie. Everyone was honestly terrible, except Charles Melton. He was fabulous. And for that, I was happy that they made the movie. Like Netflix, you know,

giving Charles Melton a chance in like an Oscar, what should be like an Oscar contender. He was excellent. He played the young student, but now everyone's all grown up. So it's like they go back. So they're making a movie about Mary Kay Letourneau in the movie.

And Natalie Portman is the actress who's going to play Mary Kay. So she goes and spends like some time with Mary Kay, her husband, her family. And you know, things get crazy. Sounds like a good concept. That's why I watched it but it wasn't if you ask me what happened in the movie I don't think I could tell you or like what the

plot of the movie was they love making movies like that where it's just like here's a bunch of footage do with it what you will and then I of course went down like a Mary Kay Letourneau rabbit hole and that was interesting but it was creepy as fuck. Like, Ben was so disturbed. He was like, why the fuck did you put this on? I'm 0 for 2 with Ben. First was that documentary, Love Has Won, and now Mary Kay Letourne. Like, I gotta stop. I gotta stop taking recommendations from Instagram.

Well, yeah. That's your first problem. Yeah. Why don't you watch the new Lifetime Christmas movie with Janna Kramer that has a sex scene? I think I would prefer to watch the Hallmark Hanukkah movie with Louis Lit. It's called Round and Round. It might be Lifetime, actually.

I can't remember which one. Two great options. Two great options. And we have a great show today because there's stories, but there's also Dear Toasters, which we pushed off from yesterday. We have an update from somebody who wrote in for a very polarizing one a couple

First story, Taylor Swift celebrated her 34th birthday last night at a little party alongside Blake Lively and friends. They did not go to Zero Bond, as expected.

They were at a restaurant called... No, we had said that we think Travis's party for her could be at Zero Bond. But he wasn't there last night. No, he didn't go to the party last night. So maybe he's throwing a party for her this weekend. No, I'm so crazy. Like when I drive around, I drove past Nobu uptown. And there's like a big tent outside.

I just want to put it out there. Like maybe it's there. Or do you think there's a chance that it's going to be in Kansas City and he's going to fly everyone out? That would be so cute. And probably cheaper. No, but also because he might not be able to leave. Right. Kansas City. Or will it be? That would also just be so cute and probably cheaper. No, but also because he might not be able to leave. Right.

Kansas City. That would also just be so cute. Will it be at Holiday House after he plays the Patriots? I don't know. Holiday House is like not private. But it's also like how do you play the Patriots and not stop over at Holiday House? It would be a crime.

Holiday House like is the New England Patriots. I agree. So, I don't know. I feel like this weekend, something's a-brewin'. Yeah, will it be before the game or after the game? We don't know. This looked nice, like a fun night with friends, and she was wearing her birthday sparkles,

but it wasn't, like, the thing, right? No, it wasn't the thing, but it was like a dinner with close friends. Like, Blake Lively was there. Sabrina Carpenter was there. I love Sabrina Carpenter being brought into this fold. I love Sabrina Carpenter. Yeah.

I also love a shorty being brought into the fold because everyone in this group is tall. And representation matters. And Sabrina Carpenter is out here like representing us. And it's really crazy how I feel like short people stay friends with short people. And tall people stay friends with tall people. Maybe it's a logistical thing. You know, like I can't hear you up there. Yeah, right. But I love to see Sabrina crossing over I love and she's

really short like your friends are not tall you don't have no I have one super tall friend and I feel like we're always having to who passed it Kristen oh Kristen is and she's like but she's like normal height but just compared to us. She's pretty she's like average tall girl. She's a tall girl like when we would take pictures. She found a tall husband good for her. When we take pictures together like it's a problem. Yeah I mean I have Brian but that's just like I can't even talk about that like that's just not normal. No but like your girl crew is average. Yeah. Like my friends, we're all 5'1 and under, which is crazy.

That is crazy. And Dana, for those of you who don't know this about Dana, and sometimes people will see like a video of her and they'll be like, is Dana really short? Dana's 4'8". Wow. And she makes me look tall. And when I wear heels and I'm with Dana, I'm like, I'm a monster on the hill.

It's very rare that like I feel tall or that I give someone a hug. I'm like, oh my God. But I experienced that every time I see Dana. She's tiny. And just so you know, I don't like the feeling of being tall. Me neither. But maybe that's because it's just unfamiliar to us. I just want to say like we are very short.

Whenever people meet us, they're like, you're so much shorter than I thought you'd be we're so short we're five foot like I'm five foot zero I'm five foot three quarters maybe with the bone I'm five one I just want to say I'd have it no other way I love being short me too me too I feel like are you worried are you worried about your sons being short maybe no I don't worry about things that are completely out of my control that's so smart like what's the point and also like Ben is six whatever one and both of his parents are like very average borderline short like I don't think it has anything to do with it no it does but you know you could always like something well errant gene comes in and you just literally can't do anything about it you can't do anything about it except just be like a great person.

Right. A successful person, a happy person, a charismatic person. And then no one will give a shit about how tall or short you are. Right. Look at Napoleon. So focus on yourself. Focus on your insides. It's so true.

It's so true. So that's what, those are the things I can control and that's what I focus on that's so smart you're so wise I'm trying I'm trying and soon I'll be homesteading you know what I was so many people sent me homesteader accounts yesterday you know who's a homesteader homesteader like flex sort of because I did see Some consumer goods Magnolia Joanna Gaines Magnolia Oshrey No Joanna Gaines I forgot her name

For a second Is Magnolia's Last name Oshrey Yeah Yeah Theo's Last name was Soffer Bruno Is a wine reb

But I call him Theo Oshrey Soffer And I call him Bruno Oshrey Of course But I've never done Magnolia's first and last name She's just not a Firsty lasty No she's a one-name wonder okay but who's a homesteader

Becca Martinez from The Bachelor Becca Ari season short hair excitement excites me yes short hair yeah yeah okay she's a very successful influencer podcaster and homesteader she really does it all I was on a wormhole of her Instagram yesterday I followed her because like I was so so what is she said like she's making her own bread she did this like she did this first bath making your own bread doesn't make you a homesteader okay fine but she made this bath for her baby and like her her older children are like cutting flowers and so she put her baby she just had a newborn baby, Ernesto. And she got like a caraway pot pretty much, but it wasn't caraway. It was probably like, looked more like crusade.

And that's what she used to bathe her baby. But she picked all these like flowers from her garden and put it in. It was like natural rose water bath. It was quite beautiful. And she had the older kids like clipping the flowers for the bath. Okay, I just want to say like nothing you've described though is giving homesteading that's like so sufficient that's like homemade soap with the flower soap okay I guess but like bread and flowers there was just someone with a garden in the kitchen the vibes were homesteading vibes that's probably true yeah no it was a

beautiful content I'm so glad yeah so you love to see a homesteading podcaster. Jackie's going to be out here like any minute turning butter. I don't. I really don't think I will because I do not have the time to make my own bread. And we don't even eat bread. No. And like bread from the store is so good. But like I don't even buy bread from the store.

Really. I have like, you know, a loaf in my fridge for a rainy grilled cheese day. But it's not like we utilize bread all the time. Yeah I'm not like you're like making sandwiches. I live with Ben Soffer so we do often have bread. And I made a banana bread the other week to make use of some old bananas. And like we didn't really eat it because we don't eat banana bread. I have such a problem with banana bread.

I really can't get into it because I know I'll trigger a nation, but we need to stop. There's nothing better than a good banana bread. Dana brings me this one from Breads in the city and it's so fucking good. Dana and this bakery Breads. She came over to my house a little while ago and she brought me like a little home. Housewarming gift. Housewarming gift. And she brought me stuff from Breads bakery. She brought me a from breads bakery she brought me a rugelach and my favorite palmier cookies i don't know if i'm saying that right p-a-l-m-i-e-r like i call them the elephant ears and everyone else there was like you don't know breads you don't know breads i'm like no no because you live uptown no but there's a bunch no it's a

downtown thing i didn't know it oh is it it feels that way because I didn't know it and you didn't know it well I am obsessed I it was the best workbook I'd ever had it was so fucking good try their banana bread and then maybe maybe you'll sing a different tune well banana bread is how I feel about carrot cake like get your fucking fruits and vegetables out of my desserts it can't be a dessert if there's a fruit or a vegetable in it. I support that thinking. But I love carrot cake and I love banana bread. And I'm sorry to you. So why don't you go eat like a broccoli brownie? Like it makes no fucking sense.

If it were good, I would. But it isn't. Who knows? Maybe someone out there makes a good one. Drop the recipe. I just don't like it. Okay, well, Taylor had her birthday. Oh, wow. Well, we. Okay, well, Taylor had her birthday. Oh, wow, wow.

We took that really far. Taylor had her birthday. She looked gorgina-vagina. Loved seeing, oh, we were talking about Serena Carpenter. That's how we got here. I loved all the girlies being out and about. I saw a video of her getting out of the car with Blake Lively and the Tellers, and the paparazzi flash was so insane.

Like, I just wonder what Miles Teller was thinking, you know? Yeah. Because he's like an extremely famous person. And I doubt anything really phases him. But I was thinking, I'm like, even this must be wild. Yeah. I'm surprised he didn't wear more sunglasses. Because that would really hurt my eyes.

But I have sensitive eyes. Yeah. No, I was just like, how do you see what's in front of you? No, you like don't. It's a lot. Yeah. Okay, well, I'm just like, how do you see what's in front of you? No, you like don't. It's a lot. Yeah. Okay, well, I'm waiting for the big party. Also, are you seeing all this drama with Taylor in the comedy show?

I'm sure you're getting tagged in it incessantly. I am, and I'm choosing to ignore it. Like, I really can't. I can't. Yeah, I just. And I have thoughts. It's just upsetting. So like sometimes we have to pick.

Sometimes you have to choose your battles. Like I would just. So okay. So Taylor went to a comedy show where all the proceeds were going to Gaza. And there's like nothing wrong with that in its essence. However, we all like after learning like a lot of the aid that gets sent to Gaza actually gets nowhere near the civilians there and it actually ends up in the hands of Hamas and in turn creates weapons and just aid for a

terrorist organization. So that's a concern, obviously. But I don't know if you're just, if you're going to get involved now and not mention the atrocities of October 7th and not mention all the Jews who died and not mention the terrorist organization. Not mention the hostages, which is ongoing. Like that's just disappointing. It really is. And Taylor is very intentional. And I'm not saying that in a bad way at all. She's like a very meticulous person.

She cares a lot about what people think. So this was obviously like a move because, you know, people on both sides have been disappointed in her for not speaking out. And so this was her way of speaking out in a way that I think she felt comfortable and that she felt was safe. And, yeah, it was a tough blow. It was. But I don't know. I don't know how to feel yeah yeah so but you also have to keep in mind you know like who she is super close with yeah I don't think she has a Zionist

friend I don't think so either you know Gigi Hadid you know Selena Gomez you know these are not people who have favorable opinions about Israel or the Jews yeah so it's been it's that's something I I deeply struggle with yeah so I guess that's why it hasn't been a story like what's there to say disappointing are we at a point where it hasn't been like it hasn't been like big mainstream news but like okay so are we at a point where are you disappointed enough to hasn't been. Like, it hasn't been, like, mainstream news. But, like, okay, so are we at a point where. Are you disappointed enough to, like, stop being a fan of hers and stop talking about her? Honestly, like, talking about her every single day, like, is good for our business. So, sure. Why should we be punished?

Right. I do, like. But also, like, this is a person I love. Like, I. I don't know. I'm sure. I don't know. Now you know.

So. Yeah. In case you were wondering. Yeah. And I don't know. Now you know. So, in case you were wondering. Yeah. And I was. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story, in case you were wondering? Yes.

Oprah Winfrey has admitted to using weight loss medication. She says she was blamed and shamed for her body for 25 years before deciding to use a weight loss drug. So, a slimmed down Oprah is looking back on the emotion. Oprah? Oprah. Okay. Is looking back on the emotional turmoil she faced during her decades-long struggle with her weight she said it was a public sport to make fun of me for 25 years and she was often blamed and shamed on her journey she said

the things that were said about me said to me around me the jokes that were made you could not get away with today she talked about that landing on Mr. Blackwell's fashion critic list early in her career crushed her emotionally. She said, I was on the cover of some magazine and it said, dumpy, frumpy, and downright lumpy. I just accepted that as that's what it is. And I didn't feel angry. I felt sad. I felt hurt. I felt shame, but it didn't occur to me that I could even feel angry. She said, I swallowed the shame and I accepted that it was my fault. Now in her people cover story, she's admitting to using a weight loss drug, not only to help her lose weight, but also to assist in maintaining her figure. She said the fact that there's a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier in my

lifetime feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift and not something to hide behind. And once again, be ridiculed for. I'm absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself. That's my queen right there. We were talking about this. I think you weren't on the episode. I think I hosted with Taylor Strecker and Oprah was asked about these medications and she gave just sort of like an evasive answer. I mean we're saying how like we need like a face of Ozempic. Like we need and Oprah being like the spokesperson obsessed. of Ozempic like we need and Oprah being like the spokesperson obsessed like we needed Oprah yeah but I feel like she didn't say which drug she's on whether like that's okay oh when I say Ozempic I'm sorry I mean just the needles like in general she didn't even say like she didn't say that that's what it is I mean we can all glean that that is what it is but someone had said that like

Weight Watchers bought so yes this is also like a business thing for Oprah Oprah is like a majority owner of Weight Watchers and maybe a year or two ago um Weight Watchers bought like a telehealth company that prescribes weight loss drugs so it's all you know synergy well which I I love that and maybe she's like waiting to drop the name until the ink is signed. But I do think these drugs should be more accessible for people, more affordable for people. And I hope that's what her MO is here. Me too.

I completely agree. There was a lot of people being like, duh, Oprah, we knew. Like, why didn't you tell us? Shut the fuck up. Like, everybody comes to this admission on their own. Everyone's journey is their own. I'm sure Oprah wanted to be like, will this even work for me?

Like it takes time. I respect her journey. I'm like a big, big fan of her sharing. And I love this. And I agree. Like hopefully her getting involved with it from a business sense, like really does make it more accessible for people, more affordable. It shouldn't be as expensive as it is it should be covered by insurance because

weight is a health concern right and hopefully that's her mission here like if there's anyone who can do it it's Oprah it's Oprah yeah combined with Weight Watchers I think there's major potential so I hope that's what this is. Me too. And she looks great. She's like, looks more confident and happy. Like obviously her body looks different, but there's just like an aura about her. I was watching her on,

I forget what it was. Maybe TikTok. She made a TikTok with Gail and they were just like walking through the office and she's only been wearing purple because she's out here promoting the Color Purple movie. And she just looked so different, not even in a physical sense,

but just like the way she carried herself. Like it was fabulous. I'm really happy for her. Yeah, same. And she just looked so different, not even in a physical sense, but just like the way she carried herself. Like it was fabulous. I'm really happy for her. Yeah, same. And she's really someone who has been through it. Like not only in terms of like weight fluctuations, but like she's been in the public eye for what, 40 years? And it was at a time where like you could say shit that you can't say now.

And like I'm sure like that cover story that she just referred to is just like a one of many yeah yeah yeah well our next story is some mama news pregnant Sienna Miller flaunts her baby bump and poses with her 11 year old daughter Marlo for a Vogue photo shoot so she's got the new mom glow Sienna Miller showed off her growing baby bump on the cover of Vogue's winter issue released Wednesday revealing her bare tummy in a relaxed beach shot. Seriously gorgeous photo. I feel like we were just saying that some that, oh, maybe it was about Sports Illustrated, how they should like, you know, they had a bunch of people on the cover and they really covered the gamut of everyone. And they

should have had a pregnant woman, too. Like they should have. And I love that Vogue did it. And the picture is truly beautiful. Also her loving girl daughters in the photos. This was a pregnancy announcement. Oh, I guess. I mean, I don't follow her closely, so I don't know if she had announced. But if it is, that's great. Also, her boyfriend is Ollie Green,

who stars in the new season of The Crown. So that's good. Oh, that's good. Sienna Miller is so chic. Yeah. Like there's not even a word. I feel like she's this generation's like Carolyn Bessette, you know? She's just like on another level.

And she's so not like a fame whore. She just gets attention because she's that cool. Yeah, it's so true. Every movie she's in, it's like, also she to me is such a chameleon that she'll be in a movie and I don't even realize that it's Sienna Miller. Like the fact that she played Chris Kyle's wife. Yep. What? Yeah I didn't even recognize her. She was like a redhead in that movie. Brunette? Something. Yeah. Yeah no she's really like a very talented actress and she got

known for her like talent and then she just happens to be this like really stylish. She doesn't like, she's not like gaudy. She doesn't wear like a big Chanel purse. Like she's just so understated and so simple and chic. She's really goals. Like she's, she's iconic.

And everything she does is just iconic and chic. And elegant and refined. Yeah. But I really love this color and I think it's a, it's a great look for, for mamas. is just iconic and chic. And elegant and refined. Yeah. But I really love this color and I think it's a great look for mamas. And I can't believe there was a time where Jude Law and Sienna Miller were together. And then what?

He slept with the nanny. Yeah. Because to me, that coupling, they might as well be brother and sister. That's how perfect and similar they are. Yeah, but I I also just like they don't shock me that they were together because like I associate that I didn't think I knew them separately until I knew them together but the way that you feel about that is like how I feel about like now Victoria Beckham and David Beckham yes yes wow couldn't have written it any better right well it's a story oldest time happy for her and her daughter's name is Marlo

which I'm sure you've seen everyone is saying to you that's the slits middle name in suits and you should name your future pup Marlo as opposed to Shelly no I still like Shelly also like I know someone Jessica Marlo and like that's just what I think of when I think Marlo so I feel like I don't like it for a name for a puppy I also think of the Marlowe pillow what's that oh it's um a pillow I guess you don't watch my Instagram stories I've done a few ads for them and it's a pillow where it's like there's what it's a one size fits all pillow you can like zip both sides to make it firmer or plusher oh that's smart yeah you don't need to go like pressing around on pillows like it's just the one pillow the marlo pillow right now uh i'm enjoying i i'm i'm stuck on shelly but i don't know

if that's the name okay i also haven't brought it up to ben i could see him being like i hate that name i don't see that for ben he'll support whatever you want yeah because he doesn't really have a choice you know are you ready for our next story a little more mama news is this number four number four yeah i'm ready paris hilton says she was joking about not changing her son's diaper for the first month of his life so paris hilton had to issue an apology she didn't have to she could do whatever she wants but i guess on her show they're airing the season now where oh yeah she has her son and she goes to change his diaper and she said um she made a joke like this is the first diaper

that she's changed in the whole month of his life and I guess people were very upset about there so she put out an extremely long statement um oh read it about how it was a joke and I firmly believe her she said hey there it's Paris just wanted to clear the air about something on my show. Parents in love. I joked about changing a diaper for the first time, which let's be honest, was just me having a bit of fun. As you can see, I changed his diaper the night I brought him home. But in all seriousness, when it comes to being a mom, I'm fully involved in loving every moment of it. It's interesting how a playful comment can be taken so seriously, even though this seems to them was the most real authentic and raw I've ever been with my fans. Sometimes I play into the whimsical character character i portrayed on the simple life it's a

role that's hard to shake off completely while i love a good laugh i also believe in being real and responsible especially as a parent let's remember to find the humor in life but also to cherish and respect the real moments thanks for understanding i actually like totally understand her explanation like of this like she has this like character that she's really shed over the last few years like we've gotten to know the real Paris through her book and her documentary um but it was this like character she played for so many years and I'm sure when the camera's in front of her it's hard not to be like that's hot and so I totally get it yeah I also find like in the first month of baby's life, like the diaper, the dad's doing the diapers like that.

Well, that was another thing I wanted to say, but I can't speak because I'm not a mom. But like, OK, let's say it was she didn't change a diaper for the first month because the kid has a dad and I'm sure a nanny. Like, is that so bad? No, like I feel like whenever like I would be with maybe all the time and whenever it was time to change. OK, like now I can get up and go to the bathroom or brush my teeth or wash my face and I feel like I would have made the same joke like oh my gosh I have to change a diaper in two weeks because like right that was just like not my responsibility so I also don't feel like it's that crazy of a thing to say and I do think she was also joking like even when I say oh I haven't changed diaper in two weeks like yes I have changed a diaper but like

not a ton of them because that's daddy duty literally I also think it's so important to remember like if you're gonna like critique you know on the internet someone's parenting it's so important to remember that fathers exist and it's a very real thing you know yeah yeah so don't forget about the fathers yeah no that's like one I feel like between diapers and also baths baby baths that's like daddy duty yeah because like the baby's really on the mom so much so that like when the daily things need to get done it's like oh great now mom can get out of bed for the first time today right that's what we're saying and also not the case in Paris's situation because she had a

surrogate but for a lot of women like we are healing so my back is broken I don't want to stand over the changing table your back your vagina but like to change the first few weeks of changing diapers like my back also that's from giving birth but also from breastfeeding like an epidural right yeah but I think it's more so like the the it's the whole thing so painful to stand over and change to stand and do the bath like daddy duty daddy literal duty literal duty yeah no don't forget about the dads yeah don't they are real don't sleep on them yeah and i have a feeling her husband's like very involved so yeah but i mean i literally don't know that but i just have a feeling but also i read an article from them when she was doing that press about her book right when like phoenix was born the the i forget which cover she did maybe it was like w magazine

they were talking about how the first few weeks of phoenix is like they did not have any help they did it all themselves like where is that right so but i totally i respect her explanation because it actually makes sense yeah and i'm sure like her seeing like people clowning on her for being like she doesn't she's not a present mother like that hurts and it's like oh shit okay let me explain to you yeah yeah let me explain to you fools fools are you ready for our fifth and final story that is brought to you by the state farm personal price plan perchance yes the state farm personal price plan helps you create an affordable price just for you the plan's all about being personal to you and your needs.

We are two girls who couldn't be more similar. We've essentially had

the same life experience, but even our insurance needs could not be more different. You know, we live in different states. That's a big thing. Jackie's a home owner. She has dependents. She has currs. I just have a curr. She has currs. We're so different and our insurance should reflect that. And clearly personalization just makes everything that much better.

So Drake and Camila Cabello were spotted flirtatiously chatting while vacationing in Turks and Caicos, according to videos obtained and posted on Dumois. They were seen giggling and standing close as they let loose on a rickety boat

that was tagged at the No Frills Outdoor Dive Bar. Not the rickety boat. Outdoor Dive Bar, Noah's Ark Beach Club. The songstress was dressed in a black one-piece bathing suit while he opted for a blue tie-dye muscle tee and shorts there was also a picture of them on jet skis separate skis but like next to each other so they're on vacation together um there's no pictures of them kissing or touching but they're on a trip together which is kind of crazy the source says she was with a friend and he was only paying Camilla attention. I know, but like these pictures are so platonic.

Yeah, no, there's no sexiness. And maybe like the sexiness just hasn't been captured or they're kind of like courting each other and they're not doing PDA right now. You court someone by taking them on vacation? Celebrities are just different from us. They are, but like I feel like for any human being, like when you're on vacation, it's because like you already have a connection with someone, you know?

Yeah. I'm going to need a little more to believe this is what I'm saying. Even though, yes, technically it's like right in front of me and they're together on vacation. I know. But historically, like celebrities on yachts, like that's where we've gotten like iconic sexy photos. Of course, who remembers Harry and Kendall laying on that yacht? Like we always I feel like a vacation is where you're very sexy and touchy and in the ocean and kendall laying on that yacht like we always i

feel like a vacation is where you're very sexy and touchy and in the ocean and you're in a bathing suit and you're naked like i don't know for sure but it's giving friends as stated it was a rickety boat that they were on like i'm watching the video and it's not like a yacht we're lounging and we're just like lost in each other luxurious like on a a party boat sort of thing that's not the vibe cruise it's a booze cruise literally so they're just like talking and having you know doing their courtship I think if there's touchy-feelyness if there is it's happening later or before I just need more that's all I'll say I agree but let's talk about the potential coupling and what our thoughts would be I feel like she's how old is she she's 26 and he's 37 appropriate I like somewhat like I like it I feel like he dates younger I feel like he

doesn't really date like famous people of course we know Rihanna but I feel like every girl he's like spotted with or um it's always like someone on like an Instagram model or not a star per se. Yeah. So I like this. I like it too. I hope it's true. He deserves love. But also, can we talk about Camila Cabello's friendship with Taylor Swift?

Like where did that go? I'm sure it's just lying dormant. I don't think there's beef. I think just Camilla, it's, you know, hard to pin down. Really?

Yeah. I don't. Like, where does she live? LA. Does she? For sure. I don't know.

I feel like she just kind of does her own thing. I know she lives in LA, but her, half her heart is in Havana. Ooh, na, na. Yeah.

I just feel like she's taking some Camilla time. Okay. And she's not like in New York City. I mean, but Drake and Taylor Swift. Pounding the pavement with Taylor. But Drake and Taylor like are close. So like this, maybe she set them up. Yeah, I think it's all good.

Like I think just Camilla like sometimes makes herself scarce. And then other times like she's inescapable. She has every song on the radio is Camilla Cabello. Like I think she comes in waves. She does come in waves. There was a time where like you could not get away from Camilla Cabello. And her music is just pervasive. Like when she chooses to engage with the world.

And I feel like sometimes she just likes to, honestly, I feel like she kind of has a healthy balance. I feel like maybe she's Meredith Marksing and disengaging. For now. For now. For now. So I would ship if there is a ship that's not a rickety boat. It's also just so interesting the highs and lows almost.

Because I was thinking the other day about Shawn Mendes. How like there was a time where he was like the biggest star in the world. And he's still super famous. But like where in the world is Shawn Mendes? Maybe like his aforementioned love, he comes in waves. Yeah. Which I think is good. Take time for yourself.

Don't always be like promoting, touring, writing, singing. Like take your time. That's how you burn out. Enjoy your life. Enjoy the spoils of everything that you've worked for. Yeah. I actually just was watching this video of Sia she did Zane Lowe and she he was like what else do you want to do and she was like

honestly like nothing like I've won Grammys I've met Beyonce like I've worked with everyone like what's with this like insatiable hunger like I'm good my I've gotten to take my parents all around the world it was so refreshingly healthy yeah and I was like yeah and you know what that's what I see like Sia's not always doing the most everywhere number one but she just is popular because of her talent and like that's enough for her and it was honestly so refreshing like outside of this like insane hustle culture yeah and she's another one when she puts out an album like all her songs are everywhere on the radio and that's great and then sometimes we don't hear from her because she's enjoying that success when she puts out music she's not like on the Today Show, GMA,

like she just puts it out, promotes it a little bit. Well, she's different from any other artist because she's in it for like the love of the music. Like she could just write songs, put them out, and we literally don't even see her. She's Hannah Montana. So she's not like everyone else, but I do think it's a really healthy mentality that others should try

and emulate. But I also think that's something that's innate you know you can't teach someone that and some people who are always hungry and striving for the next thing will always feel that way and it will never be enough for them and it's sad sometimes but sometimes you learn that lesson the hard way yeah because then you look back on the times when you thought you didn't have enough and you're like if only I could get back to that. Exactly. But then the people who are always like striving and wanting to achieve can accomplish really great things that maybe the people who are like, this is enough for me, Diane, don't. Yes.

There's two sides to every coin is what we're saying. And what we're also saying is that those were the fast five, but we're far from done because we have Dear Toasters, our weekly advice segment. So once a week, we will take three submissions from the girlies who need help from us. And if you want to submit, you can do so in one of two ways. You can go to thetoastpodcast.com, scroll down a little bit. There's a little submission box. It's totally anonymous.

Try and keep it brief. If you've written us in and we haven't read it, it might be too long. And then you can also email us, deartoasters at gmail.com. We'll keep it anonymous, of course. So our first one, I am writing in, oh, sorry, hi, Jackson Claude. I am writing in, oh, sorry. Hi, Jackson. I am writing in because I recently lost a ton of a weight, a ton of weight. Thanks.

Before starting Ozempic, I gave all my cute designer clothes that didn't fit me anymore to my best friend because they were too good to go to waste. And I never thought I'd lose the weight or be able to get on Ozempic. The clothes are not things I can just rebuy for myself. They were all high end designer that I've collected over the years. Now that I'm back to my way smaller size, I really want those clothes back. I recently saw her and she was wearing a pair of my expensive pants and I mentioned how those probably would fit me now. She said, hmm, and then moved on from the conversation.

Should I just flat out ask for my closet back? Yeah. Send like a really sweet text being like, hey, I was so like happy to give you those things when I thought they would no longer fit me. But I've lost the weight and I would love to get back into some of them. If you still have them, could I, how do you say, can I get it back? You could just say it, honestly.

If this is a true friend, she'll be happy for you. And we'll be grateful for the year she got with clothes she didn't have to pay for. Like, I'm sorry. If she says no, she's psychotic. And just be like, hey like hey Christian I don't know I was just thinking about all the clothes I gave you like last year and how they probably fit me now and I'm so excited about that possibility and I'm wondering if you'd be able if I can come pick them up like make it easy for her don't be like can you drop them off be like can I come

pick them up like I really want to try them on and see if any of them fit me because I've been dying to wear them for so long yeah like just make it about you and then of course make the picking up process easy because don't give her a job. Be like, can you drop it off at my building? Yeah, yeah. Do it though. Do it.

I mean, the worst thing that happens is she says no and you've lost a friend. But I think it's worth, you should do it. I mean, and it's literally like money and clothes. Like it's yours. Snatch it. Snatch it. This next one is so interesting.

Dear Jackson Letourne, I became a toaster over a year ago and my life is forever changed. I'm writing in for some wedding planning advice. I'm getting married in June to a PJOM and we are so excited. We're in the thick of wedding planning and we recently found out that another couple from the town we grew up in is getting married at our venue the night before our wedding. I went to high school with the bride, but I wasn't friendly with her and she's a few years younger than me. She DM'd me very nicely talking about how we're both getting married at the same venue, let alone the same weekend. She then inquired if we wanted to go in on flowers together for the tables at the venue since we're going to have

back-to-back weddings. Is this weird that she wants to share some of the flowers 50-50 or is this financially responsible considering while planning a wedding in this day and age? Thanks so much for booing me daily. Forever, sincerely, a forever toaster. That's not the worst idea I've ever heard. It's not. My only concern was that like the flowers might get like destroyed or wilted at her event. People are drunk. People take flowers home. Yeah. So like from weddings. She'll get like the best of the flowers and but sometimes like they sit on the centerpiece of the table. Nobody touches them and they're still good the next day sometimes I think she should pay 60% I was just gonna say that I think there's nothing wrong do you think there'll be a lot of crossover at your wedding even if there is there's a way to like have the same flowers but dress up other

things differently like if you're doing your different linens and like it just you could have different lighting it just would look different people aren't going to be that eagle-eyed no and the money you would spend you can either save it or you can spend on more decor i like this i this premise honestly and i want you guys i think it's kind of genius yeah and if you don't want to do it then you just say no but like i think it's worth inquiring and seeing if she'll pay a little more because they will be fresher for her. Yeah. No, but it's also kind of like amazing. I feel like nobody gets this.

Yeah. That's not what I thought the predicament was going to be. But it's so true. Like wedding venues on Saturday, they bring in all this stuff. Gone by Saturday night. Sunday, all this stuff. It's so wasteful. So if you happen to know the person, it's kind of. No, you guys are kind of turning the industry on its head.

Yeah. This could be like a really good business idea for like people who connect people in towns who are having like weddings back to back. Yeah. But I agree that you should pay a little bit less because you're getting it second and you never know. I mean, I see like, you know, always at weddings, like the old lady leaving with three centerpieces in her car.

Like, okay. Yeah. You never know. And you have to be prepared for that. But if you just save 60% on your flowers, then okay, I could live with that. I think this is major. Yeah.

I think you should do it. Innovative. I have one more and then I'll do a, because this one's just like a short to your toasters and it's so funny. Long-time listener, first-time emailer. Important question for you both. What position are we reading in?

Is there some sort of magic reading pillow or couch that I am missing? I know you're both slaying the Goodreads goals, so you must have found a comfortable position. Signed, a toaster with a sore neck. It's a good question. Oh, my neck isn't sore, it's my hands. It definitely is hard to get a good position. What I've recently been doing because I have a big

kindle is I lay in bed on my back with my pillows like up on my neck I put my legs up my knees are like this and then I lay the kindle on my knees oh that's okay I sometimes if I'm reading like not under the covers I'll sit up I actually sometimes put my nursing pillow on my lap so it's like a rest for my kindle in my hands. It's my wrists that hurt the most, not my neck. And then a lot of times I read like with the lights off under the covers and I'm on my side and then I switch sides. I'm on my side a lot too when I read. And I think that's helpful.

But can we talk about how unbelievably torturous it is to read a physical book? Especially if you're at the way beginning or the way end, like with the way the pages lay flat. I'm always like breaking the neck of my book so it like lays even it's so annoying. Kindle. Kindle because when you're reading a book there's always like the right side is always comfortable. Modern solutions for an archaic problem. You said it. That would be funny if that was our title today. Invert. Inverse, yeah. Of two days ago.

Our third and final Dear Trosters is an update. So I'm going to read her original submission. Found you guys on TikTok. I need advice in a bad way. I was going through my boyfriend's phone and came across a picture I took of one of my friends in a bathing suit that was on my camera roll. It was never on a social media platform. The photo even said live in the top corner. I asked him about it and he claimed he screenshotted it off of Instagram, which I debunked immediately because it was never on a social media platform the photo even said live in the top corner I asked him about it and he claimed he screenshotted it off of Instagram which I debunked immediately because it was never posted he gave no further explanation for himself and denied it

that he denied that he saved it for my camera roll which was the only place that the picture I don't think I was here this day that this was submitted because I'm in shock really this yeah oh so I'm not sure how to move forward with this information xoxo a turned off toaster I feel like I have like a memory of reading this no I've never heard this before so isn't it crazy like the live photo like he literally went on her phone and clearly sent it to himself I'm in shock what I don't know what you advised but read the update ready hey girls I'm the one that wrote in about her boyfriend sending himself a picture of uh off my phone of my friend in a bikini. I just wanted to let you know that I found out they had been sleeping together the entire time.

Girlfriend intuition to go through the phone never fails. You were correct. Yeah, what we said was like, why were you going through his phone in the first place? You know, what came first, the chicken or the egg? You obviously had a reason for snooping. I always hate for my response or my advice to be like, this is the reddest of flags. And you can't be with this person if he's like looking up a bikini photos of your friend I'm glad that solved itself

yeah damn double homicide losing a friend and a boyfriend no you saved yourself time friendship that you don't have to get drinks with this lying cheating whore you don't have to talk to you know think about a future with him time equals saved no but you're right like when we read these things like the inclination is always to be like this is a big red flag get rid of this loser i know but it's like you can't tell everyone to break up with their boyfriends sometimes like people do things that are bad but like you have to work through it and like i feel like we see this all the time on shows and stuff where like someone will cheat and it's like yeah you need to break up with a cheater but like they work through it and it's better and it's good so like sometimes the advice isn't to break up I know also somebody I think posted this in one of our Facebook groups and it's so funny like

literally every time we do a dear toaster it's about someone's boyfriend they write in like I've been with my fiance for three years total p-jump they-jump. And then they continue to write like the most violatricious thing that this person did. And it's like so funny. And when I hear that at the beginning of a Dear Toaster, it's like my fiance, total p-jump. He's the best. Then whatever the thing that's going to come after is,

I'm like, oh, well, he's a p-jump. He's the best. So that thing after, like we're going to, I'm going to clean it up for you because he's obviously a good person. But maybe I need to be questioning that initial judgment never stop asking why yeah that always complicates things like oh it's a p-jump but he has a picture of your friend in a bikini but he's a p-jump but he's but he's maybe he's gonna like buy you that bikini because he thought it was did she call him a p-jump

no she didn't call him a p-jum in this one. What did she say? How long were they together? Just called him her boyfriend. That's also relevant information. If you've been together six months or a year, I will more likely advise break up with him. If it's like a seven year, this is your long-term partner

and you guys are in a common law marriage, I might want to work through some things. Yeah, of course. We'll give it more effort. We'll save it. Yeah, but when I hear boyfriend, I'm like, he could go. Yeah, boyfriend? Not anymore.
