Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to The Toast, and happy Wednesday! It's hump day! Don't forget to hump someone you love, and speaking of girlies that I love, with every fiber of my being, it's Jacqueline Follet! Hey, Turt-a-loo! Happy hump day!
Starting point is 00:00:17 We've made it to the hump of the week. Yeah, we have. Make sure to get that hump in. Before I get that hump inumping i have a question for you i ask away because i fire away because i can't find mine so do you happen to have that swirlitude well i always have like a little stash of it just in case i lose my primary and i have an air tag on it too so i certainly have my swirlitude that's huge I have an air tag on it too so I certainly have my swirlitude that's huge et tu turte et tu turte you're looking cute and comfy and cozy thank you wearing a new boys lie set now that I have um
Starting point is 00:00:53 a tailor in my life like I'm just sort of tailoring your sweatpants well I got these boys like sweatpants that aren't cinched at the ankle so usually that's just a hard pass for me. But I had just got them when the tailor arrived. So I was like, do your worst. Okay, she's made of money. That's crazy. I just wanted to be a tall girl for once and wear tall girl pants. Having a pair of pants.
Starting point is 00:01:18 Tall privilege. When you're short like us and on the rare occasion you have a pair of pants that are perfectly hemmed for your height, the difference it makes, and this is my reminder, I still have not signed up for a sewing lesson. I will do it today. Yeah. So now that I got them tailored, I absolutely had to wear them. And that's what's new with me. There's actually a lot going on in my life, thank you for asking. Not only am I on day three of my coccidinia journey, I have to, and I think, I know I've said this, but I just want to reiterate this pillow that I'm currently sitting on has changed my life. I ordered another one. I'm
Starting point is 00:01:52 going to leave it in my car. I can't say enough good things about this pillow for real. First of all, how has your coccidinia journey been? Well, the community has been very, very open with me, which has been huge. I think that at first it was shocking for a lot of people to finally have a role model to look up to, you know, someone so famous finally talking about this invisible illness. That's sort of been the reception I've gotten from the community. You know, they said that. It's been great. I've pretty much gotten no tangible advice. People are like, yeah, it sucks. Like we just live with it, you know? Right, right. So you may see me and you see this glamorous celebrity, obviously, but what you don't know is I'm really suffering. Okay. Well, we're always here for you.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Coxedinia Strong. What more can I say? C-S. Coxedinia Strong. Now other major things happening in my life, and I feel like it's so perfect. You know, we're, we are now 100 days away from Christmas. So it's all really starting. Is that the official 100 day countdown? Yeah, you know, Mariah Carey posted like a, she actually didn't post because she's actually going through. Did you see, like, she lost her mother and her sister on the same exact day. Like, she's really going through it.
Starting point is 00:02:59 But the internet is now posting that picture of her frozen. It's like, Mariah Carey is starting to thaw. 100 days away from Christmas. Wow. And what that means is like our homes are becoming homeier. And so I was gone all summer. I am now taking many steps into making my home a little bit homeier and cozier for the holidays.
Starting point is 00:03:14 I'm limited, obviously, in what I could do because I can't have a Christmas tree. So I got two other things. Instead of a Christmas tree. But even if you could, it's only September. Oh, bitch. I'm all for the extension of the holiday. I was having this conversation of the holiday okay I was having this conversation with Ben because we were driving some or we were going golfing and on
Starting point is 00:03:28 the way we were like driving through the suburban neighborhood and I saw somebody with their Halloween decorations up and it's it's honestly an appropriate time it's not that crazy but we were literally outside all day we were playing pickleball it was almost 100 degrees that day I'm like while the timing is fine the weather isn't Like to have pumpkins and shit out when it's seriously over 80 degrees, not acceptable. Here are my thoughts. If you are like an extreme holiday celebrator, like you want to get the most out of the season, I think you can put up Halloween fall decor after Labor Day. And I think you can put up Christmas decor after Halloween, like November 1st.
Starting point is 00:04:04 The fact that there are people and they're just used to it. They don't realize how special it is to be able to put up Christmas decor after Halloween, like November 1st. The fact that there are people, and they're just used to it. They don't realize how special it is to be able to put up a Christmas tree. That there are people, like the Streckers for the last two, three years, I have gone over to their house and done Christmas with them,
Starting point is 00:04:13 like putting up their tree. It's like so nice that they include me. And it's like always in December. I think it used to be like after Thanksgiving. That was really like when everyone would put up their Christmas trees. But I just think we need a little more holiday cheer in the year and November 1st is the holiday season it just is November 1st is the holiday season if I said to Ben I'm like
Starting point is 00:04:34 that's so crazy but if I was Christian or any denomination where I could put up a Christmas tree like November 1st comes it's Christmas time in this house we're playing Christmas music so I can't participate. I did get a Crock-Pot. Now, the devil works hard, but Crock-Pot Incorporated works harder. TM. Because by end of day yesterday, there was a Crock-Pot at the studio. It literally arrived in this gorgeous box. I got like new state of the art. Seriously, that was very generous. Crock-Pot, thank you. And I'm already collecting recipes. Great. And how did the Crock-Pot look? Was it everything that you hoped for?
Starting point is 00:05:06 Is it different from mine? I asked you to tell me that. I haven't opened it yet. Like it's a big, it's a big responsibility to find counter space or cabinet space for it. I'm not there yet. Understood. Well, speaking of crock pots, I've embarked on a really fun personal project. And I feel like in your adult life, you don't get a lot of opportunities to do personal projects, like just for the fun of it. Like I love, by the way, I totally agree. And I want to say I've been meaning to tell you this in the spirit of the project you're embarking on, which she will share momentarily. The spirit of this project is preserving, you know, family, not heirlooms, but like
Starting point is 00:05:37 family recipes. But I meant to tell you like what you're doing is so important for our family because, you know, we're such lazy slobs and no one else is going to do it but you. And I need you to know like this is now your responsibility, not just recipes. Like all family things that need to be preserved, whether it's recipes, whether it's memories, whether it's like a family tree or some shit. Like that is your job now. You are like the family historian. The family historian.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Okay. And I love what you're doing with the recipes. Tell everyone. But just so you know, like we need to do more of this for other things. I can't think of the things, but you know what I'm talking about. Like family vibes need to be preserved and it's you. Okay. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:06:12 But I do have a co-chair in this, which is Olivia, because she already has the family tree. She actually does a lot of like extensive family research. So I think together, when we put our minds together, we can create a full library. The project that I'm working on right now is a personal cookbook like for my own life it started as just wanting to jot down all the recipes that I make every single night that I like get from random websites I've printed them I add stuff to them like I take I just change them a little bit and I always have to go and look at the page like what temperature do I cook it at and like I have
Starting point is 00:06:42 all these random pages around my kitchen and I'm like I want to make a little cookbook for myself of like my nightly recipes and then in doing that I realized like how many recipes I do have but then also I got a bunch of recipes from my mom of things that we grew up a lot growing up or like actual family history recipes that like came right from Russia yeah the. The cabbage soup recipe, hundreds of years old. But then also like things we ate for weeknight dinner growing up. The Wickel de Kroi. Like our cabbage, our cassoulet recipe. We love cassoulet in our house.
Starting point is 00:07:13 And I've never made it in my house. And then my mom sent the recipe. And like now at the level of cook that I am, like easy peasy. Can't wait. Yeah. That recipe had no measurements. I need you to get to work. I will. I'll get in the lab, Elizabeth Zott style That recipe had no measurements. I need you to get to work. I will.
Starting point is 00:07:25 I'll get in the lab, Elizabeth Zott style, like trying different measurements. Because I wanted to make that chicken on Friday for Shabbat. So like if you could work a little faster. I will. I'm going to do the rest of my writing today. I'm going to do my chili recipe. I also have a bunch of recipes like in my notes, like chicken soup. I've developed my chicken soup recipe over the years, like every time we get sick.
Starting point is 00:07:44 And I do feel a little tickle in my throat. So just like putting it all of it down on these recipe pages. And you have such gorgeous handwriting. And I got a really cute recipe book that's going to be here tomorrow. And even last night I used one of my recipes. It made cooking like so much swifter. I wasn't like shuffling through pages. Like also I've whittled down the directions, like the need to know information for me. And it's been such a fun project for myself, but also it's now having this greater purpose. And then someone messaged me saying like, this is something that I then can pass, then the family will have it. I could pass it down. And like, I don't know, some recipes are more eternal than others, but as far as the everyday cooking, just like the baked chicken, I'm not recreating the wheel here,
Starting point is 00:08:28 but it's just like making cooking so much easier, more fun and aesthetically pleasing. Yeah, and it's given me an opportunity to remind you, like you have officially been nominated and won. Like this is your responsibility. I need you to like write down, either digitally or analog, everything. You know, things, I can't explain it, but like you down either digitally or analog everything, you know, things.
Starting point is 00:08:50 I can't explain it, but like you are now like the family secretary, if that makes sense. Okay. And I take this very seriously, this role. And then I guess when my book is done, I'll like make photocopies for you. Oh, 1000%. Although I do think I could see a really sweet gift in the future being like you making it again, like handwritten, not like some Xerox piece of shit, like you making it again like handwritten not like some xerox piece of shit like you making like by hand again for someone like I could see Olivia loving that as a gift yeah just an idea okay no no I know one step out of time but right now I'm
Starting point is 00:09:17 having like a lot of fun with it it's really nice like flex your creative muscles like not for work not for arts and crafts with the kids but just like for your own self I I can't remember the last time I did something like this for Jack's self for Jack's self and it will help me get my house in order like it's a win-win no it's that time of the air the season like you could feel the shift in the air like we need to get our houses in order I got a Dyson vacuum like you bitches could never good luck finding one piece of fucking dust in my house classic and I mounted it to the wall like am I grown up or well I didn't mount it I had a handyman come because obviously my husband mounted it to the wall. Like, am I grown up? Well, I didn't mount it. I had a handyman come
Starting point is 00:09:46 because obviously my husband doesn't know how to use a drill. Am I grown the fuck up or what? I actually am thinking about building a bookshelf today because I ordered this bookshelf for the play area. We have the bookshelf in Harry's room. It's so cute. And Zach was like, do you want the handyman to come this weekend?
Starting point is 00:10:00 I was like, for one kid's bookshelf? Like, no, I really think that either we need to wait months till we have more tasks around the house or we should give it a shot no the thing is and I don't know this to be true because I haven't learned yet but I think there comes a time in your life where you learn how to use a power drill and there's just before power drill and after power drill although you know Zach Shapiro knows how to use a power drill. Like he could do that too. I don't even think you need a power drill.
Starting point is 00:10:28 I think you just need like just I think you could probably use regular screws. Screwdriver. You definitely need a power drill. No it doesn't go into the wall. Oh. It's a standing. Yeah no power drill. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Yeah Jackie you could do that. I know so I think I'm gonna do it today like Bob the builder. Can she build it? Yes she can. Yeah on the list of things like I need to learn it today. Like Bob the builder, can she build it? Yes, she can. Yeah, on the list of things like I need to learn, it goes sewing and then power drill. Okay, for me, it goes haircuts.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Yeah. And then sewing and then home renovation. No, that's so funny. Haircuts, yeah, number one. I feel like learning is not hard, actually. I think I could get really good at haircuts, so much so like when your husband came down here, like I could just give him a crop.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Or like all the boys in the neighborhood lining up for like that lady's haircuts. Haircuts by Jax. And like the boys who walk Bruno for you, in lieu of payment one week, you'll give him a haircut. Totally. Also, my husband likes a tight fade. Yeah. Like he thinks he's on The Bachelor or something.
Starting point is 00:11:23 So I would have to learn that too. That. If I really want to be competing. I feel like you already have the tools like that manscaped trimmer. That's what they use. Yeah. I actually think it's not that hard tactically. It's more so like getting your mind around it and learning how to use that equipment
Starting point is 00:11:38 and not be worried about like cutting someone. Oh, so you know how we were talking yesterday? Like, was my husband going to give me a gift? Right. So we come from recording good guys with a gift. gift like did I feel like a piece of shit or what now in all fairness the gift is being returned like I actually don't need it and it's like sweet but just like silly you know I'm not I'm not an extravagant person you know I know you see this glamorous celebrity you think extravagance but I'm actually not um it's the dichotomy of Claude's self exactly but he did come home with another gift because yesterday Ben was in this here studio,
Starting point is 00:12:07 sitting in this here chair, recording a podcast for Good Guys. And this is going to be a spoiler. He's going to kill me. But they're having Mike the Situation on. And I was telling Ben like all my questions I had because you know I read his book and I absolutely loved it.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Ben came home with a signed copy. And he said it's not. That is so sweet. And it was like personalized. It was like,udia it's not about the setback it's about the comeback which was like one of the major motifs if you will from mike the situation's memoir and he also left a bunch of signed copies here so if you want one i have one for you too oh wow well thank you so much thanks sitch we're kind of like doing big
Starting point is 00:12:41 things here at toast hq oh i'm also going to see a potential new toast hq space today you know i need to move out of the space i know you do but i know you don't like change and because i'm not there to push you along and it's really it's been a year it's totally up to you like that's it it's like has to be close to where you live like it has to be what you like you know i'm just coming into your space when I come. I am excited about this potential space. Like I would, and by the way, I don't even like this current studio that I'm in so much. Like from an audio standpoint, the ceilings are too high.
Starting point is 00:13:12 There's too much natural light. I don't have enough wall space. There's too much street noise. Yeah, I would love to have two separate setups so that when you come to town, I don't have to move so much furniture when Ben uses it as a guest. And I think when I move, my life will become better.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Like the next studio will be better even though I'm so against moving. I'm really excited about this one I'm seeing today. The thing is, is like when you're looking for office space, and I don't, you know, frequently look for office space, it's not the same as like looking for an apartment. When you're looking for an apartment, you get like a million pictures, a video. So by the time you actually decide you want to go see it, you pretty much know what you're walking into. They don't have like listings for office space and they certainly don't have videos they said floor plans and like pictures of the building from the outside who fucking cares so this one i'm seeing today i'm like super excited about i have no idea what it looks like on the inside i just like the location right right and i like that it's like big you know and it's a good price which means it's probably
Starting point is 00:14:00 going to be ugly well i know you can beautify it the beautification committee will come in the beautification is based the beautification committee is based in Florida like seriously I need you to come I can be I can do remote beautification work and I actually am coming so if you do like it I'll see you soon oh yeah Jax is coming to town next week we've got like a fun influencer event like kind of like influencer event we'll tell you more about it when it happens and then we're also recording a guest interview with someone beloved. So that's fabulous. It's actually going to be
Starting point is 00:14:28 a really fun... 24 hours. A fun jaunt. That is a jaunt. That is a jaunt. We'll just kind of be traversing through New York City being fabulous,
Starting point is 00:14:36 glamorous celebrities, if you will. Totally. Normalize referring to yourself as a glamorous celebrity more. Like, my confidence since we've started the show, and this wasn't something
Starting point is 00:14:44 I planned on doing. It just naturally came out three times. I already feel like I'm glowing. Like a glamorous celebrity. Correct. Speaking of glamorous celebrities, I don't know if you saw my story because I posted it like three seconds before I called you,
Starting point is 00:14:55 but I'm like scrolling the news this morning for stories. And who's in my face? Ben Soffer. I too was scrolling for stories. I sent you a bunch of stories, by the way. Did you include? Yeah, I have them. There was two in total.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Yes, yes, yes. But I was looking this morning. I woke up so early. So I was like, I guess I'll get to work. And I too saw Ben Soffer's face. It was very jarring to be like looking for stories for work on page6.com. And then your husband's big face is right there.
Starting point is 00:15:18 And like, to be honest, I'm used to it from you in a good way. Like I- Because I'm a glamorous celebrity. No, I see it like so frequently. Like it doesn't shock me anymore. It's just another celebrity. Glamorous celebrity thing.
Starting point is 00:15:30 But Ben, this was actually a first. I don't know if I've seen good guys in the wild. Like Hilary Duff says on good guys. But like to just see like Ben's face in the headline, like all about Ben. It was it was a very proud sissy in law moment. A thousand percent. Hashtag proud sissy in law. Hashtag proud sissy-in-law. Hashtag proud sissy-in-law.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Now, we do have a great show. There actually are very good stories, updates in the Diddy case. We also have Dear Toasters today. The Swirlies are in need in a desperate sort of sense. Oh, and I wanted to hop on and let everybody know that we- I love hopping on. We are taking new submissions for Dear Toasters. We've sort of hit a dead end. So deartoasters at gmail.com if you want to write us an email. Or our website, thetoastpodcast.com.
Starting point is 00:16:13 If you're going through something, you want help from us, we'll keep it totally anonymous. And, you know, the weirder the better. Head over to deartoasters at gmail.com or thetoastpodcast.com. Love that. It also just makes me think that maybe we've solved the world's issues. If like, if there are no dear toaster submissions, like there are no problems in the world.
Starting point is 00:16:31 there are, let me just be honest and level with you. We had a mishap with the email and some of the submissions just are gone. So, uh, dear toasters at gmail.com. We didn't cure the world. No.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Tomorrow's another day. Turdy. Oh my God. You know, I was watching Olivia Jade this morning. You know, she has an aura ring. She wears it on her ring finger.
Starting point is 00:16:50 And I, Oh wait, I saw her video. I need to see how she's styling it. Well, it was a morning routine. I feel like it wasn't styled yet. She was just like doing her skincare.
Starting point is 00:16:58 So no, but I saw her. Okay. But, but she was wearing it on her ring finger. And I meant to like send her a message and be like you know you're not supposed to wear it on your ring finger but I didn't want to be like an or a no at all. Turdy so listen I messaged or a ring remember I posted on my story the other
Starting point is 00:17:13 day like whoever was the person at or a ring who helped us get our or rings like can you message me turns out it was at or a ring I don't know why I thought it was like some fancy email yeah right so they messaged me I was like so Turdy and, like we actually sized for the wrong fingers and we know you're supposed to wear it on their index finger. And she was like, it works on any finger. But if you do want new ones for your index finger, let me know. But like you, it's totally fine. Thank God I didn't message Olivia Jade.
Starting point is 00:17:35 How embarrassing would that have been? Well, it's so funny that you bring that up because I and I need to put this out into the ether. You know, I was at ring concierge yesterday, like, like you know playing with jewelry and hanging out with the girls there and they're like we're really trying to get in contact with aura ring we want to do like a collab of either like a special edition ring that's not like so fucking ugly or like a ring that they can make that goes hand in hand with aura ring that like you slide over to make it look more stylish and they're like we haven't been able to get in contact with anyone so if you work at aura ring and you're a
Starting point is 00:18:03 toaster like go respond to the email from ring concierge we need that the girlies need that we need that you don't understand i have like so much jewelry coming that i've ordered and i'm like thinking of looking for things to buy both like fancy and non-fancy um because i need to like all of a sudden i'm gonna be wearing rings on all 10 fingers just because of this one or okay it's getting janice ian but okay just to camouflage like the one big ring thousand percent but i actually have like some cute stuff coming cutesy i got like targeted ads on instagram for like fake jewelry wish me luck oh god she's literally gonna go to the hospital with jackie's very sensitive skin oh my god i didn't even think about that like i could wear like you give me a ring made of like duty and my skin won't react.
Starting point is 00:18:45 I have very tough, you know, celebrity glamorous type of skin. You have very, very sensitive. I need to wear like all real gold titanium. You're literally a Victorian child. Like if a Victorian child wore like Amazon earrings, they would seriously, they would probably die of tuberculosis. Consumption. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:01 You are very similar. No, I didn't even think about that for my rings i'm very aware of it of my ears but rings darn them have like a green thumb literally literally and not in the good way no um oh speaking of personal projects my herb garden i haven't started it so speaking of personal projects there's no update like i have like a a huge upcoming personal project of like zen garden cold plunge garden oh yeah yeah yeah yeah and I I don't know how to take the first step but I do have a cold plunge on the way from sun home sauna shout out I'm so excited that's huge so soon I'm gonna be cold plunging and then it's over for you bitches it's over for you bitches even though
Starting point is 00:19:46 oh you know uh kourtney kardashian was on skinny confidential podcast i feel like no him and her sorry i always call it that well they asked her like what's it's both it's a skinny confidential him and her podcast okay so i said all right yeah they asked her like what's a wellness hack like you just like never got into or a wellness trend that you are not into? And she said cold plunging. She's like, I just don't like it. Okay. It's not push approved. Well, I don't think it's disapproved.
Starting point is 00:20:12 I just don't like it. You can't do everything and you have to like, if it's not enjoyable to you and it's not worth what you get out of it, then what's the point? I feel like Travis probably cold plunges. A thousand percent. You know?
Starting point is 00:20:26 I mean, we'll see how it goes for me. I would love to know, you know how you're always sharing like the baby names of the year, Olivia, Noah, you know? The name Travis is everywhere. Like at first it was really with the Kardashians. I think they were all born in the same year.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Travis Scott, Travis Barker, Travis Kelsey. Like since when is everybody named Travis and they're all famous? I think probably like the year 1989 was a good year for Travis and Taylor. So true. Oh my God. And on my way to work today, I was getting so excited that we're going to Eras. Like I was listening to Cardigan, which like isn't even my favorite song,
Starting point is 00:20:59 but she plays it at Eras. And I was just like, we're going to have the best time. We still don't have outfits, but it's fine. No, but we're actually are going to have the best time. We still don't have outfits, but it's fine. No, but we actually are going to have the best time. I have like a full house that weekend. It's going to be bussing. It's going to be bussing. I'm so excited.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Sweet. I think we need to take a party bus. Like, even though it's only three of us going to the concert, like, we need a party bus. Okay. I love a party bus. I love a party bus. And we do need wheels.
Starting point is 00:21:24 1,000% because you can't drive us actually I have been making major strides in my driving like I will not be held back anymore oh my god I love that yeah so I also did something to help further my my driving and that is I've changed the settings on my Tesla to be rolling all the time so right now with my Tesla like it drives like a golf cart if your feet is if your foot's not on the gas it doesn't move versus like a a regular car once your foot is off the brake even if you're not on the gas yet you're rolling yeah rolling so I put my Tesla on rolling settings so it drives like a regular car that way if I'm ever in a regular car I feel much more comfortable and you know what
Starting point is 00:22:03 it's been fine already acclimated to it good step one yeah I am so happy for you and I think like you're living life half-mast yeah no I'm really been getting out there and getting after it and now like really when Zach and I are going somewhere like even though I don't want to like I insist that I drive because I need to do it with him first before I can do it on my own so it's better if we do it when we actually have somewhere to go. Like the only way out is through. Like you just have to do it. And you know who's really been a source of inspiration for me? Me?
Starting point is 00:22:32 Margo. Yeah, because Margo like really started her driving journey like two years after you. Margo's like driving on the highways of Wyoming. Margo drove from the city to the Hamptons, which is arguably like one of the scariest drives. She just like is getting after it. And I feel like she's leaving you in the dust.
Starting point is 00:22:48 She's you're eating her dust. No she is more advanced than me now even though she got her license like more recently. The only difference is that she gets to practice all the time and do these drives like without kids in the car. The reason why I don't go further is because I often have the kids I'm not like practicing with them. So she's really been a source of inspiration. Like thank you, Satchel.
Starting point is 00:23:06 And that's what a counselor does. Pushes you. Pass your limits. Pushes you past your limits and shows you that you're capable of anything and your potential is endless. It's so true, by the way. Yeah. I feel ready to dive in.

You and I are always saying how we like, we'll start talking about something either on Instagram or on the podcast. And then it's like the only thing we get tagged in like thousands of comments for you, obviously sourdough for me, anything having to do with Tariq El Moussa.

Starting point is 00:28:13 Thank you, T-U-R-T. You're welcome. Our first story and update in the Diddy case, Sean Diddy Combs will be held without bail after sex trafficking and racketeering arrest. Okay, I take back what I said, like about him getting special treatment. Obviously, that's not the case. Thank God. Police Sean Diddy Combs will be held without bail after sex trafficking and racketeering arrest. Okay, I take back what I said, like about him getting special treatment. Obviously, that's not the case. Thank God.
Starting point is 00:28:29 Yeah. Diddy was not granted bond following his bombshell arrest this week. A judge ordered that the rapper turned mogul be held without bail pending trial in his ongoing sex trafficking case in federal court in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday. During a press conference, his attorney shared that he's planning to appeal the bail decision, saying Mr. Combs is a fighter. He's not afraid of the charges. He's been looking forward to this day.
Starting point is 00:28:51 He's been looking forward to clearing his name. He didn't do these things. He's been looking forward to this day? Yeah. They said this was a 10-year relationship. There was no coercion. There was no crime, I think, in regards to Cassie. But that doesn't even talk about the things
Starting point is 00:29:06 that they found in his house. Like even just the AR-15s that had like defaced serial numbers, that's a crime in itself. Like I think everything that they found. Oh, I mean, it's of course Sade, but everything that they found in his house, like in total, like carries a sentence of about 20 years. And that's before anyone's personal testimony or anything.
Starting point is 00:29:23 And I personally like love the idea, the visual of him sitting in a prison cell, right? This is a person who's been famous and wealthy for a really long time. He's definitely like a little bit of like, you know, a diva. He probably like has his nice things, his furry blankets and his skincare routine. And I love the idea of him rotting in a prison cell. Now, I feel like we talked a lot about Diddy yesterday. And over the course of this journey, we've talked about it a lot. But we haven't really talked about 50 Cent.
Starting point is 00:29:46 And I love what 50 Cent is doing here. He made news yesterday because he made an Instagram caption referencing the thousand bottles of lubricant. Yeah, he posted a picture with Drew Barrymore and said, here I am keeping good company with Drew Barrymore, and I don't have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house. So I think, first of all, that's funny. And second of all, I love't have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house. So I think first of all that's funny and second of all I love that 50 Cent obviously it's easy to like talk out speak out against
Starting point is 00:30:10 P. Diddy now knowing what we know right and everyone's like yeah P. Diddy sucks but there are a lot of people in Hollywood who weren't complicit but obviously knew about this right it was like a big operation and he had a reputation for it so P. Diddy like talking I'm sorry excuse me 50 Cent talking about this like before it all came out he's been rag. So P. Diddy like talking, I'm sorry, excuse me, 50 Cent talking about this like before it all came out. He's been ragging on P. Diddy and like referencing and inferring and leaving subtle hints for many years. And I just feel like he doesn't get enough credit because that's like a brave thing to do.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Now it's out. And now everyone who thinks they say something are like brave and saying something new. But you know what? But to say it before, yeah. Especially when like he is so powerful and and everyone is on his side everyone's going to his circles and I think you know at his peak did he was more successful than 50 cent not even at his peak like in like a thousand ions more
Starting point is 00:30:58 successful than 50 cent and they're both in the music game so like it's not even like there's any distance like one is an actor no 50 cent like in a in an odd So like, it's not even like there's any distance. Like one is an actor. No. 50 Cent, like in a, in an odd sense, like risked a lot by being outwardly vocal and outwardly like hateful of P. Diddy. And now of course we know why.
Starting point is 00:31:14 And it always felt like silly beef, right? Like his captions, things like that, where I was like jokey, but no, knowing what we know now, it's like, okay,
Starting point is 00:31:19 50 Cent, like the moral compass of Hollywood? Question mark? Right. Question mark. Like I love him. Like I literally love him. Like, I literally love him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:28 So, the wheels of justice, Turdy. Yeah, and I take back what I said. Like, I do still find it strange we haven't seen a mugshot. But being held without bail is like a really extreme thing. It's always, you know, you're innocent until proven guilty. And if you can make bail, you can make bail. But when they don't let you have bail, that's because they think you're dangerous. They think you're innocent until proven guilty and if you can make bail you can make bail but when they don't let you have bail that's because they think you're dangerous they think you're likely to flee um sometimes they'll take your passport but I don't know like really violent
Starting point is 00:31:53 criminals don't get bail like that's I feel like everybody gets bail yeah so I guess dog the bounty hunter will not be involved here because there is no bail. We'll see what happens next and they're going to appeal the decision. But hopefully that does not yield the result that they want. Okay, so you get arrested. Who are you calling to, and let's say geography, like let's say you're in New York or whatever. It's not about location.
Starting point is 00:32:19 It's not about location. Like it's the middle of the night. You get your phone call. You need someone to come down six in the morning and bail you out. Who are you calling? I mean, technically, I would call my husband, right? Yeah, yeah. Like, what am I doing out in the middle of the night?
Starting point is 00:32:35 So true. Arrested. Okay. Who would you call? Yeah, I would call Ben. Right? Yeah. I'm not going to inconvenience any of you.
Starting point is 00:32:43 I've done something wrong. I'm not proud. Right? Yeah. I'm not going to inconvenience any of you. I've done something wrong. I'm not proud. She's ashamed. Okay. Hiding heads on my husband. Okay. That's fair. Are you ready for our next story?
Starting point is 00:32:54 Not me, like, making it a competition. Like, who are you going to call? I know you wanted me to say you, but, like, do you even want me to call you in the middle of the night to come down to the station? Don't wake me up. Don't wake me up. Uh, middle of the night to come down to the station. Don't wake me up. Don't wake me up. And like Chris Brown is disgusting and I will never support. And it's like really crazy.
Starting point is 00:33:12 I ended up on Chris Brown talk a couple of weeks ago. Like he plays these huge arenas. Like he has millions of fans. I'm not one of them, but I'm holding space for two truths. Don't Wake Me Up by Chris Brown is one of the best songs ever made. Yeah. I don't make the rules. Don't Wake Me Up by Chris Brown is one of the best songs ever made.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Yeah. I don't make the rules. And it always reminds me of Come Wake Me Up by Rascal Flatts, which is also an amazing song. I mean, everything by Rascal Flatts is an amazing song. I am having a Rascal Flatts renaissance. Like two mornings in a row I got ready to Rascal Flatts. And obviously when we think of Rascal Flatts, we think of the hits, right? Life is a Highway, Bless the Broken Road.
Starting point is 00:33:46 And I've always liked their less popular songs more. But I'm having a renaissance with a couple of really random songs. Tell me what's better than How They Remember You by Rascal Flatts. Pirate G. Nothing. Nothing. And then, oh my God, today I was listening to that song. They had low-key covered a lot of sensitive topics in their songs.
Starting point is 00:34:06 Obviously, Sarah Beth is scared to death, the song about cancer. I forgot they also have a song about trigger warning, suicide. They, it must have been, and I was literally crying. It was like, it's really beautiful. It must have been a place so dark you couldn't see the light. Like, seriously chilling. then there's here comes goodbye really really tough like they're covering heavy subjects they are everything they are we are on rascal flats watch and as soon as we know what that vague post was about like you will hear it
Starting point is 00:34:40 first from us what kind of like the breaking news source. Jackie, what am I doing? Every time something happens in the world, people are like, do a breaking, like a toast emergency podcast. Like, no, not unless Rascal Flatts announces a reunion tour, are we doing a toast emergency podcast? Jackie, what am I doing? Watching out for Rascal Flatts' announcement.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Exactly. Our next story, Danny Amendola might have someone to call in the middle of the night if he gets arrested because Zandra Pohl is fueling the Danny Amendola dating ruiners at the Dancing with the Stars taping. So as the official Zandra and Danny watch podcast, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Zandra fueled speculation that she's dating NFL star Danny Amendola By attending the Dancing with the Stars Season 33 premiere to support
Starting point is 00:35:27 His debut as a celebrity contestant During the episode she was spotted sitting In the audience next to Danny's mom Rose At one point she's 23 The 23 year old smiled Wide as she applauded one of the dance performances Just a reminder Danny is 38
Starting point is 00:35:44 This is not the first time they've sparked dating rumors. Yeah, we just need to put that in context. Back in June, they were photographed sitting together at Tom Brady's Patriots Hall of Fame induction at Gillette Stadium. So, if you are a Zandra watchdog like I am, before
Starting point is 00:35:59 she was even on screen at Dancing with the Stars, we knew she was there because when you live in dancing, I mean, when you are on Dancing with the Stars, you have to live in this apartment complex. And it's like very recognizable to anyone who is familiar with the show because a lot of the people like do Instagram content from there. You just know it looks, it's like a very recognizable look. And Zandra went to LA a couple of days ago. So, you know, when you're a TikToker like that, you make vlogs about everything. So we knew she traveled because she made her travel vlog.
Starting point is 00:36:28 And then she's making, you know, her regular content about like food. She's trying Erewhon. And she's clearly in a Dancing with the Stars apartment. So we knew we're obsessed. Are they nice? They're like classic, like modern apartments. You look like model homes, kind of. Like they're like classic high rise apartments.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Do you think that's like a romantic nice place for a new relationship or somewhere where a relationship like goes to die? Well I think it depends right? Danny Amendola is independently wealthy as is Zandra. They're used to the finer things in life. Yes I do think this apartment is a step down for them. I think you know Anna Delvey who spent time in prison and then lives in like a scary apartment, I think this apartment is fabulous. And I want to talk about Anna Delvey, right? Everybody's like, Anna Delvey on Dancing with the Stars.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Did you see they made a sequin ankle monitor? Her ankle monitor matches her outfit. Why is she wearing an ankle monitor? She's on probation. Right, okay. No, you're on house arrest when you wear an ankle monitor and she wore it all through her house arrest. She lives in LA now. She's not home.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Wouldn't her monitor be going off the whole time oh so you think it's fake I don't know but like why is she wearing a monitor you don't wear a monitor when you're on probation do you I have no idea that's her house arrest and she's not right arrest her or she's wearing an ankle monitor a fake one to like get people talking. And it's a bit. I think it's for schtick. And in which case, I'm so over the schtick in general. And now knowing that it's not even a functional ankle monitor. It's such a funny schtick to be a criminal comm woman. Ha, ha, ha.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Yeah. Get people's money. I'm laughing so hard. Right. And Anna Delvey stole from big banks and stuff. So nobody really cared. But if she had stolen from people's retirement funds like you know teachers pensions and things we would be singing a different tune a crime is a cry bitch and she stole from her friends who were like
Starting point is 00:38:12 working in hotels and we're just trying to get by and she stole thousands to go like to Morocco oh yeah from that girl Rachel yeah that honestly theft is theft I agree and so I am not like keeping up with dancing with the stars but like I'm not voting and if I was I wouldn't be voting for her uh coming out of dancing with the stars there was a lot of news last night apparently like pommel horse Steven is obviously gonna win like he was the best oh really yeah well how did Danny dance he danced pretty good actually people really liked him and he can move so that's like half the battle but also to be a man celebrity on dancing with the stars like to be the star and you're a man requires way less effort to get better scores like those types of ballroom dancing like the woman is the fixture right like and the man just sort of carries physically the girl yes it's
Starting point is 00:39:01 easier like you have to do less as a man to get a better score but I think like it's easier to be a woman dancing like I don't know about that I think it is well Pommel Horse Steven did really well Danny did really well Phaedra did really well which I don't think people were surprised by but I was really happy to see I love Phaedra I'm really rooting for her oh that's so great so it looks like Xandra and Danny are dating and as the official like you know I'm so happy you are you ship I don't ship it's not that I ship like obviously him being 38 and her 23 like is concerning for sure it's giving no frontal lobe um the reason and what I've always said when we talk about Zandra's like I just want good things for her I feel like she is always being compared to Alex and like she carved out this one little place for herself and she was doing Sports Illustrated and it was amazing boom Alex does Sports Illustrated she gets the cover it's like I fear that Zandra like constantly is living in the shadow of Alex
Starting point is 00:39:54 and people always wondering like what happened between them and the internet very much took Alex side they said like Zandra's mean girl even though the internet didn't even know what happened they've never actually said what happened so I just feel like I want Zandra to have something for herself you know I thought it was Sports Illustrated it wasn't yeah but she could have like any boyfriend yeah and I like this one like in terms of fame level I don't like it enough yeah and I think what we learned from Olivia Culpo was like Danny Amendola is like maybe not like the best guy maybe not the best boyfriend boyfriend. He cheated on her. Yeah. So there's that, of course. There's an age gap.
Starting point is 00:40:29 There's also the fact that he's like, aside from dancing for a living, he's not working in as a football player anymore. Like she's on her way. Like, I just think, I think the timing's not great. I agree. He's like unemployed. There was a time where she was rumored to be linked
Starting point is 00:40:44 to a Kansas City Chiefs player. And there was seriously one piece of evidence. They went on a roller coaster together at like a Six Flags. And there was a picture of them sitting next to each other on the, like when the roller coaster takes a picture of you. Yeah. Yeah. And that was it.
Starting point is 00:40:55 And I, when I heard that, I was so excited because it's like, okay, obviously Zandra, like everything she gets, Alex gets bigger and better. But like, you know, Braxton like plays on the Dolphins and this guy plays on the Chiefs and the Chiefs are obviously like this hot young thing right now. So I was like, okay, maybe she could get one thing over Alex. Like, you know, not me pitting these two girls against each other when I'm sure they don't even think about each other. But that's not true.
Starting point is 00:41:16 They do. So I liked that. I liked when she was having a moment with the Chiefs. Like that's exciting. Maybe she would be in the box with Taylor. Like that's fun. Yeah. Well, that's not what's happening here. I know. Taylor like that's that's fun yeah well that's not
Starting point is 00:41:25 what's happening here I know no the more I talk and think about it like she's had like a hall of fame ceremonies retire retire AARP she's 23 years old yeah it's giving grandpa for sure I don't like it you you definitely like made me see it differently I kind of forgot that Danny Amandola like she's not going to games. No, she's not going to games. And like, what's the point in dating an athlete? She's going to alumni conventions. Yeah, yeah. She's going to physical therapy.
Starting point is 00:41:52 So I just want more for her. I agree. At least now she's dancing with the stars and she's on TV. But like, yeah, that's huge. That's huge. It's something. Maybe when Danny gets eliminated,
Starting point is 00:42:03 like it's time to break up. When he gets eliminated from the show, he also gets eliminated from her heart. He's dancing for his life. It's so much more than a dance competition. Like his life is on the line. And if he gets the mirror ball trophy, she gives him an extra six months. Yeah, because then he'll be doing press and stuff. And so it gives like the relationship a little bit more life.
Starting point is 00:42:23 But I agree. I need her to date someone like a little bit more relevant. Maybe add her to our list. Is there anyone on our list? We need to break it up into two lists. I know. Our list. This list sucks.
Starting point is 00:42:32 No, it's just there's like men on this list like Xander and Bill Hader. I don't think so. Honestly? No, I'm kidding. He's much older. I don't even know. The list is just a mess. I know.
Starting point is 00:42:44 We need this list. the list needs a reorg it does we need like subsets based on and there are people on that agenda and based on age and also based on eligibility have those people are not even single we just keep them on because they're not and also like based on status oh yeah like it needs to be ranked in order like a famous to least famous because they're not married based on status oh yeah like it needs to be ranked in order like a famous to least famous because they're a glamorous celebrity on there number one yeah like harry styles shouldn't be the same as like noah centennial agreed sandra and shack my work is done sandra and I love it. Even though he's seriously 40 years older than her. Yeah. Shaq and Chloe. I'll never give it up. Never going to give you up. Literally. Never
Starting point is 00:43:34 going to give you down. Classic Kayla. Never going to give you up. Never going to give you down. She added like a little riff too. Pargy. Pargy. I'm so happy for Zandra. Just like being on TV, you know? Yeah. Yeah. And being like talked about.
Starting point is 00:43:53 I want a W for her. She looked really beautiful on TV. She is. She's a timeless beauty. Yeah, but I felt like she was looking like very natural glam. Yeah, I agree. Very much like sitting with my boyfriend's mom look. Yeah, it's giving Donna taylor in a smaller capacity yes it is you know are you ready for our next story number four number three oh yeah really okay chugging along slowly today i like it i got nowhere to be except i gotta go see that new
Starting point is 00:44:23 office space. Office space. But I have time. Sometimes, sometimes a Long Island just creeps out. It happens to me all the time. It happened to me
Starting point is 00:44:34 the other day. I was like, put it away. Yeah, I was like, we're going out. No, I don't even remember
Starting point is 00:44:41 what I said, but it really just sort of creeps up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Snuck out. Get, I don't even remember what I said, but it really just sort of creeps up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Snuck out. Get back a mole. Are you ready for our next story? Mm-hmm. Pharrell Williams did an interview with The Hollywood Reporter and has some things to say about celebrities who endorse political candidates. So Pharrell wants celebs to zip it when it comes to politics he told the Hollywood Reporter I don't
Starting point is 00:45:06 do politics in fact I get annoyed sometimes when I see celebrities trying to tell you who to vote for there are celebrities that I respect that have an opinion but not all of them I'm one of them people who says what the heck shut up nobody asked you I do think a lot of like lay people say that when celebrities give their opinions this is what I was thinking and I have a thought like on celebrity endorsements that I'll get into but it's like everybody like hates celebrity endorsers until they endorse the person that they like like it's just I feel like it's half and half like if the person if a celebrity you like is endorsing someone you like you're like thank you for using your platform this is so important right but if a celebrity endorses someone you don't like you're like well what do celebrities know anyway they didn't even go to college like right um well he
Starting point is 00:45:48 didn't endorse anyone in this he said when people get out there and get self-righteous and they roll up their sleeves and shit and they're out there walking around with a placard it's like shut up um this is an interesting take I feel like we don't get this a lot from actual celebrities we get it more from like lay people um but I do think he has like a pretty decent point I think that's how a lot of people feel when celebrities make political endorsements mostly because like the level the way that celebrities live like is not akin to the way that most people live so like when they're going to tell you who to vote for it's like you don't know my life you don't know my struggles like we are very different and we're all very different as people and I think that's why it's politics used to be like a very
Starting point is 00:46:28 personal thing I just also think like the concept of telling someone who to vote for feels so odd to me and I feel like it like it's this almost awkward like unethical line because everybody and no matter you you know, people might lie and say that they don't, but everybody's voting for their own self-interest, right? Whether you're like a woman, whether you're a Jew, whether you're black, like you're looking for your, for your, like who's looking out for your best interest, right? Right. And so to be told who to vote for, I've always found it's like a little icky and it's like, if you're going to share who you're voting for, it's like, okay. But if you're going to like say that this is the right one you know regardless it especially if you're a celebrity
Starting point is 00:47:11 who lives so disconnected from like how normal people like everyone has their issues right like if you're voting because you want to buy a house or you can't pay your bills or you're like whatever your your issue of choice is those don't really apply to celebrities right like so it does feel I get what he's saying but then there's the other side of the coin and I feel like people like will just say one of these two things based on who what their personal political preference is but like there is the other thing it's like you feel so passionate right like so even a celebrity they might come off out of touch and like who cares you like don't know what it's like down here. There is that also, like, this person feels this calling, almost, to use their platform.
Starting point is 00:47:48 Yeah, no, they feel like they're saving the world. Yeah, so, but again, I think you're just going to say one of those two things based on if you agree with what that person's saying, right? Right, but I think if you look at it, like, as a whole, not talk about, like, one person or another, and I think this is something that we felt really frustrated on for, like, years now in the celebrity entertainment world is that it does become like so political and it's I it's our philosophy in general that like those things should stay apolitical like for most of time
Starting point is 00:48:16 they were and like only recently has everything become like it just makes everything so polarizing and I think as a general rule like it's not like oh when one person does it or another person does it you don't like it but like as a general rule it's a good one yeah because it's like something should be fun and like not so serious all the time like life is hard I think any person who's grown up and who's just trying to like either feed their family pay their bills get a job go to college like it's hard right and so there should be things that we can enjoy that are fun and light and for moments just let us forget and I feel like for so long celebrities pop culture was that and it definitely has gotten really tangled and I also think it's like a case by case so like with the with who's like who the celebrity is like do you hate the celebrity yeah but also like a case by
Starting point is 00:49:00 case on the based on who the celebrity is like some celebrities are like really stupid right but and like other celebrities like are smarter more educated or just like more well thought out and some of them are just like are not are not that you know right like I think this is obviously coming on the heels of the Taylor endorsement which I also think is different because some celebrities could endorse and doesn't move the needle right like okay and who cares Taylor there's a difference between being like a famous person being an influential person yeah so I think that's why there were all these eyes on Taylor because I think she does move the needle and people really do care what she thinks yeah I think he's obviously was asked this question like because now it's
Starting point is 00:49:43 being spoken about well I think also like everybody's jumping in to them like it's true I guess it gets on Taylor because when she does something she's the biggest person to do it but like everybody's doing it it it's it's the season I'm sure that the Hollywood Reporter like wanted him to give his take on politics and instead he said this right which is an interesting take it's a take and it's kind of not a take we hear a lot and I think a lot of people would say, well, you're saying this from a point of privilege. But, you know, Pharrell is a black man. Like he, this is his point of view. But I think every celebrity who's giving their opinion on politics is saying it from a point of privilege.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Like the privilege is there. I'm curious, like, you know, people who are celebrity obsessed, pop culture obsessed, people who listen to the show. Like do you prefer that your celebrities share their politics or you prefer that they don't yeah it's a good question I guess it just depends on what your politics are right because there are like one percent of celebrities who are republican and the rest are democrats so if you're a democrat you love it but if you're a republican you don't right that's like the thing that's like the unspoken thing right they're like I can literally count on like it's like no in this literally count on like, it's like Kid Rock. No, in this article, at the bottom, it's like all the celebrities who have endorsed Kamala. And then for the ones who are endorsed Trump, it's like Savannah Chrisley, Roseanne, Kid Rock, Hulk Hogan, Elon.
Starting point is 00:50:55 Right. So I think at the end of the day, your take on this, as it pertains to celebrities, is really going to be colored by your political preference. Because if you love Kamala, you love that your favorite celebs love her too. Yeah. If you love Trump, it's hard because everybody's like disagreeing with you. So at the end of the day, this conversation really is mute. It really just depends on your preference. Right.
Starting point is 00:51:18 So like if we could roll it back, you know, and make it so that it was an apolitical sphere, I think that would be nice for everyone right but that's not where we're at no it's not so however it does feel like and I saw in like Pharrell got some heat for this and then people were saying in 2016 like he endorsed Hillary so it actually feels like he's walking back on that of like having of having once like gotten into politics and now being like celebrity should stay out of it. Right. It's not like he's never gotten involved. Maybe the pendulum is like swinging a little bit.
Starting point is 00:51:49 Yeah. Of people realizing, hey, we like stepped into this thing and it's gotten really messy. Like maybe. I just feel. I guess in the party. The party of fun. You know? It's like why can't some things just be fun?
Starting point is 00:52:01 Yeah. We're trying. Desperately. Yeah. So that's that on that. that's what Pharrell's up to I haven't heard for from Pharrell in a while I feel like he doesn't like do interviews I was watching something about Pharrell recently what was your husband loves Pharrell yeah Pharrell is like he was like singing us or a music video or something maybe a documentary oh we were talking about his documentary is gonna be in in legos classic for all classic for all i guess are you ready for our next story i guess it's like legos adjacent sure okay margot robbie and her husband margot robbie and her husband tom
Starting point is 00:52:40 ackerley are set to produce the sims movie as they aim to have an impact similar to her hit Barbie. So six months after it was first reported that Margot Robbie and her husband Tom Ackerley were producing the Sims movie the news has been confirmed. EA the company that has published the long-running video game franchise formally announced the project on Tuesday. They are both producing through their Lucky Chat production company and Kate Herron will set to direct the film. The Sims world is like a part, a core part of millennial childhood that completely bypassed us.
Starting point is 00:53:14 I have never played Sims in my life. I don't even know what the hell it is. But it's like a part of culture, the way people talk, oh, you look like a Sims. Like it's so big. I guess because it's like the simulation. And I think that actually this is going to be an amazing movie.
Starting point is 00:53:29 If done right. Well, Margot Robbie is a track record of doing it right. Living in a simulation. Right, which is also very relevant. Yeah. Do you think we're living in a simulation? No, I think, like, not to be, like, lame, but I think, like, believing you living in a simulation, No, I think like not to be like lame, but I think like believing you living in a simulation
Starting point is 00:53:47 like goes against God. I do think that. No, I believe Hashem is not simulating. I believe we live in God's version of a simulation. Like, and he's the only one playing the game. Like, but he also gives us free will to make choices, but he knows what choices we're going to make. Right.
Starting point is 00:54:02 So yeah, it's definitely like an atheist thing yeah no no I I think if you like not to sound so like like faith biblically yeah but like if you really believe in God you can't believe we're living in a simulation yeah like how would you now say 10 hail marys how would you explain yellowstone like that's not a simulation. That's the beauty of God. Yeah. Oh, for sure. Oh, I thought you were going to say, how can you explain simulation if we're, how can you explain Yellowstone if we're not living in a sim?
Starting point is 00:54:32 No, if we are, whatever. Yeah, of course. There are certain things that are so. Like, look around. The birds chirping. Even something as small as an apple is simple and somehow complex. Exactly. Like, that's not sims.
Starting point is 00:54:44 Sorry. Not even that. Not even Like that's not Sims. Sorry. Not even that. Not even if you believe in God. If you believe in science, you can't believe we're living in a simulation. Because I think a lot of the things that we think of like as something even as small as an apple
Starting point is 00:54:54 is other people would see it as like science and nature. We see it as God. We see it as God invented science. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like I don't think that you can believe we're living in a simulation
Starting point is 00:55:04 if you believe in science, if you believe in nature, if you believe in God. think that you can believe we're living in a simulation if you believe in science if you believe in nature if you believe in God and the people who think we're living in a simulation and I said to the Lord unto thee there shall be simulation the people who think we're living in a simulation like who's controlling the simulation okay I also have a hot take ready and it's not even hot people who like talk about simulations like we're living in a simulation like you're not funny interesting or cool um talk about something new it's stupid and we're obviously not living in a simulation like why don't you like go be original and think of something funny to say that's not about simulations and go then cook it in your crock pot liner no I think seriously when people are like and we're not living in a simulation. Like, shut up. It's getting moist.
Starting point is 00:55:45 No, and it's, yeah, when something crazy happens, it's like you can't think of anything intellectually interesting to say. So you say, we're living in a simulation. You know, it's like literally just an earthquake. There's an actual scientific reason for why it happened. Not a glitch in the matrix. Yeah. Like, I just, I hate that sort of dumb humor, honestly.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Well, anyways, The Sims movie is coming, is coming at you. I'm not like highly anticipated for it, but I do know that there are people that are. Like, some people's childhoods are like defined by Sims. I could see the aesthetic of this movie, like being very like, kind of like almost Stepford Wives-y, like robots on a big, on a street,
Starting point is 00:56:23 like cat in the hat, every house is the same, like hi, hi. And then something like blows up the Sims. No, and there's like a woman who like lives in one of the houses and one day she like defects. Yeah, yeah. And that's played by Margot Robbie.
Starting point is 00:56:37 And I would see that, 100%. I love the metaphor to Stepford Wives, that comparison, I love. I would see it one year after it comes out 100% yeah of course we're almost due to see It Ends With Us you know we'll see it in a couple of months did you see that It Ends With Us like has broken the record for the biggest um box office for a mid-size movie like it's not a blockbuster budget but um they made over like 300 million dollars no the movie was incredibly
Starting point is 00:57:05 successful and Justin Baldoni being like a not a first-time director but a very um inexperienced director having a movie cross that kind of sale line is huge like he's going to become a huge director because of it like that's a major accomplishment for him I feel like I did that okay not to like sound crazy didn't see the movie clowned on him for months I did that. Okay. Not to like sound crazy. Didn't see the movie, clowned on him for months. I did that shit. Do you feel, and correct me if I'm wrong, do you feel like I started the Justin Baldoni stuff?
Starting point is 00:57:32 Like people were whispering about it and there was a couple of TikToks that really made it like major, but I feel like I played a major part in that conversation. For me, in my world, like in my life,
Starting point is 00:57:42 yes. But no, I'm saying in the landscape of culture like am I am I patting myself on the back too much because I really feel like I can't say because it only came to me through you so I I you you started it for me yes but I don't know how much it was out there before and maybe like us talking about it like maybe you saw these niche rabbit holes but like we have this like massive global audience and us like putting a spotlight on it like I'm sorry Blake I thought we were helping we tried like we actually like didn't even come into it trying to help like
Starting point is 00:58:11 we actually had our preconceived notions about her but the more that we saw and the more she like it really was becoming so wronged the more we tried to help and I think the more we hurt the situation I completely agree like I made you we stepped in it and I apologize. I'm sorry. Everyone that we root for, like everyone hates. And that's just so true. Like we're always somehow on the,
Starting point is 00:58:33 choosing the wrong side, choosing the wrong side in terms of popular opinion, but not in terms of ethics. And I stand by that. We're hella ethical.

Our fifth and final story, a news story that has captured the world. An eight-year-old girl takes her mother's car on a 25-minute joyride to Target.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Literally, if you thought Margo motivated you to start driving, this eight year old girl. When I saw this, an eight year old girl drove 25 minutes. Did you feel shame? And she only hit one mailbox on her way to Target. She parked in the parking lot and then got a Frappuccino. Like I've not even treated myself to such an indulgence. No, the parking was actually really what impressed me
Starting point is 01:03:41 because those parks, the only accident I've actually ever gotten into was in a supermarket parking lot. Like it wasn't even a crazy parking lot. I just felt very nervous. It was, there was a lot going on. It was like a beach town. It was, yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:53 Jackie was playing shower by Becky G, like being loud and in a way making Snapchat videos. Yeah. I mean, there's all sorts of threats on the road and you have to be aware for all of them. It's so true. Dancing in the mirror singing in the shower so an eight-year-old ohio girl is home safe after she took her mother's eight-year-old
Starting point is 01:04:15 ohio queen after she took her mother's car and drove to target 25 minutes away as her family and police searched for her according to the Bedford Police Department service report obtained by Today.com, officers responded to a 911 call on September 15th, just before 9 a.m. after the family discovered the girl was missing. They reported that the eight-year-old was last seen by the family nearly two hours earlier. So they posted to their Facebook, the police department, well, I finally found a woman who's in more of a hurry to shop at Target than my wife. More of a hurry by eight years. That's right. An eight-year-old took mommy's car this morning and drove to Target and Bainbridge to shop.
Starting point is 01:04:50 Thankfully, she made it and was immediately located by Bainbridge police. She's now home safe. Not sure what she bought or if she was even able to use her Target app to save 5%. We did let her finish her frappuccino. We're not mean. These like local police department social media accounts like always have like a sassy tone. No, and you like, and you know, they didn't know that this was about to become like the biggest story in the country.
Starting point is 01:05:14 That would capture the hearts and minds. Everyone is talking about this because obviously like it's extremely relatable. Like everybody just wants to go to Target. And you know what? I didn't even realize like the scary part of this. Like her family must have been so relieved. Like your child goes missing. That's like every parent's worst fucking nightmare right and the car was missing so no but someone could have taken the car and the kid right your
Starting point is 01:05:33 logical assumption is not that the kid drove unless like you know something about her and she's been asking to drive for a while she's like you've been starting them young yeah she got like halfway to the car she grabs the keys so many questions I actually do think like we need an interview if Ellen were around like she would be interviewing this girl and that's definitely a loss for society because agreed to know like how did she know how to get there 25 minutes away like did she put it into navigation so true or had she had it down pat like is she kind of a genius now my thought was also you're telling me like I can't drive three minutes in this city without
Starting point is 01:06:05 getting a ticket this queen was able to drive 25 minutes like undetected she probably couldn't even see over the steering wheel and not get pulled over like this is actually a very poor reflection on the traffic department of this police department yeah the police department that's having their moment it's like well now we're asking questions but it also makes me curious like what skilled level of driver she was I'm finally finishing this book that I'm reading bad therapy and towards the end they're talking about how like in different cultures um they give kids like tasks to do on their own independently from a very young age and it's like really good for children
Starting point is 01:06:38 developing like confidence independence and overall that's good for their mental health and how like in Japan they'll send a three-year-old to the supermarket half a mile away with the shopping list like and some money and like as a one it's a i'm in a series called netflix called like old enough and there are these like things that they do to like acclimate their children to society eight-year-olds like take the bus in japan and they all like you'll see groups of kids in japan like doing things together and it's like really good for them to become like functioning adults. Meanwhile, like kids in America, like they're delaying getting their license. They don't want to go to college.
Starting point is 01:07:11 They can't function when they get there. And it's like actually doing small, not small, actually big things where you feel like you have agency over your life. Like this girl is going to grow up to be the president of the United States. Like the way that she has agency over her life. She probably felt so accomplished, which not saying that anyone should do this or that I would ever but like this is Queenie behavior this is someone who's ready to get after it I'm in agreement that it's definitely Queenie behavior so many things could have gone wrong and I'm so glad that she's safe like from
Starting point is 01:07:38 you know she wasn't abducted and that she actually made it and she didn't crash like so many things could have gone wrong somebody Somebody could have seen her alone at Target, scooped her right up. So I have a pit for like the potential of what could have gone wrong. Yeah, they could have scooped her. It's such a crazy story. I have so many questions and you're right.
Starting point is 01:07:55 We need a sit down interview with this girl. I'm sure she'll be like with Hoda. I need to know what kind of car it was because that sounds like a pretty easy car for like a small person to drive. Myself. Like I just am. I'm very curious about the logistics.
Starting point is 01:08:09 Like Toyota Camry sales just went way up. Where in the parking lot did she park? Did she not park between two cars? That's a classic move of a novice driver. Yeah. Or maybe it was just like a really empty parking lot. Or she kind of like ditched the car. Right.
Starting point is 01:08:21 Like she was done with it. Like she got to her destination. She like left it running. Is there even a photo of the girl? No, I haven't seen anything. I'm having a hard time visualizing. I need to see what she looks like. That would be immensely helpful.
Starting point is 01:08:34 Maybe she's like a big eight, you know? Right, right. She could be my size, like five foot at eight. She could. Right? It would be crazy, but anything's possible. Or she could be a small like eight, and did she bring bring her booster seat maybe she did throw like her booster seat and but then how about her feet reach yeah I also sometimes see videos of kids and it's always it's like other countries where
Starting point is 01:08:54 like they literally drive and they drive at like eight years old and it's and that also gives me inspiration like if they can do it they're driving on the highway. Like I can do this. You can. And I shall. There's no way that this girl had to drive on the highway. Like there's no way she would have been able to figure out exits. I don't think she had to. And I don't think that that would,
Starting point is 01:09:16 like your local target usually don't need to get on the highway. Where does she live? In Bedford, Ohio. She was at the Bainbridge Target. Is that your local Target? Grab the security footage. Yeah, literally. I'm not super familiar with like the typography,
Starting point is 01:09:31 geography of Ohio. So I'm not sure if you have to take a highway, but I have to imagine that she didn't. No, I feel like you should be able to get to your target without the highway in general, right? No. In suburbia? Like, no.
Starting point is 01:09:48 Like when you take one exit off the highway like it's not a big deal i guess yeah maybe you can take the back roads maybe yeah maybe she did map quest no highways map quest what are you a hundred well she had to get the directions and you could do no highways you could also do it on tesla you could do it on maybe she did self-drive on tesla you know i was thinking that too but i don't think so because you want to know what if it was that would be in the article because anytime a tesla does anything wrong or someone in a tesla gets in an accident it is always in the story that it was a tesla it's like thanks but i don't hear about the toyota corolla getting in an accident well because they're not safest cars on the road.
Starting point is 01:10:25 No, I'm kidding. Yeah, like every car gets into accidents. But when it's a Tesla, they always tell you because like they're trying to take down Tesla. No, and they're like the new hot thing that are supposed to be like better and different. Yeah, they're trying to take down Tesla even though they want us all to be driving electric cars.
Starting point is 01:10:39 Like, make it make sense. Dear Toasters, our weekly advice segment. Every Wednesday, Jackie and I will help out three swirlies in need. And there are three swirlies three swirlies in need. And there are three swirlies and they are in need. So if you want to write in deartoasters at gmail.com is the email account that you can send to or head over to our website, thetoastpodcast.com. There's a submission box when you scroll down a little bit.
Starting point is 01:10:54 They're both totally anonymous. Hello, swirlies. I got a new job in sales and the team I'm a part of is all men. My new manager asked me if I wanted to be part of the team's fantasy football league. I told my fiance and he was annoyed that I said yes. I asked why and he said out of respect all men. My new manager asked me if I wanted to be a part of the team's fantasy football league. I told my fiance and he was annoyed that I said yes. I asked why and he said out of respect for him, I should have declined because it's all men. Okay, Zach from Secret Lives.
Starting point is 01:11:15 Literally. I told my fiance that he was being ridiculous. Am I in the wrong? Should I get out of this league that I already committed to? Sincerely, a confused and annoyed toaster. No, no, you're literally being gaslit. There's nothing weird about this. Is it a a nude fantasy league like no no and you're ready you work with all men it's not like you went over to the men's corner you only hang out with
Starting point is 01:11:33 the men in the office like this is just the demographic of the office I feel like it speaks like serious insecurities within him and points to like larger issues down the road that he either needs to nip in the bud and get a hold of. But this is not something that you should give on because that sets the stage for like going forward that this is how things are going to be. And you need to put your foot down now before like things get worse and you do get married.
Starting point is 01:11:56 This is one of these like really hard situations where I just want to like press that button, break up. Like, I know. Like technically he didn't do anything crazy, right? Like you're not in danger. This to me is so deal breakerbreaker worthy like I hate this man that's really crazy that's giving possessive that's giving narcissist like it's you're right it's so Zach from Secret Lives and Mormon Lives which is like the worst comparison if anybody ever committed compared my husband to
Starting point is 01:12:21 Zach I'd be like get out of here yeah but you know if everything else that he does in his life and in the day is perfect then like this is a man that you should make it work with he had one like I'm in a like I feel like as I get older and we do these you're gonna make it work phase yeah I'm in like I just I feel like that's growing up is realizing like human beings are complex it's never going to be perfect and like if you love someone and you have this shared values, which you're engaged, like I'm assuming that you have these like important things in common.
Starting point is 01:12:51 And yes, if this were an issue that continued to get worse until he's Zach from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, like I too would lean for that button. But before that button, like I really think that things are workable. Yeah, of course. But now let me ask you a question, dear reader.
Starting point is 01:13:05 Is your husband like Zach from Sex Lives of Mormon Wives in other ways? Or is this the first time he's ever really resembled him? Yeah, and maybe he thought it was cool and macho to say this, but the minute you put him in his place, he's going to go with his tail between his legs like, ooh, sorry. Yeah, embarrassed. What's his personality
Starting point is 01:13:25 really like so that's why I'm not quick to hit the button but I do think you put your foot down now so that this is not a precedent that you set in your marriage she's 100 because if that's not the kind of marriage that you want then you need to make sure that's not the kind of marriage that you will have precedent is everything here swir here, Swirly. Precedent is everything. All right, next up. Hey, Jackson Turdy. Love you guys. Since last year, I have lived with my boyfriend,
Starting point is 01:13:50 his sister, and her boyfriend. The sister and her boyfriend were living in the master suite of the house, but a few months ago, they broke up, and he has since moved out. We start again. Hey, Jackson Turdy. Love you guys.
Starting point is 01:14:00 You are glamorous. I just wanted to hear that. I love you, too. Love you, too. Since last year, I have lived with my boyfriend, his sister, and the sister's boyfriend. Okay. The sister and her boyfriend were living in the master room, master suite of the house, but a few months ago, they broke up and he has moved out. Now, me and my boyfriend have asked if we can switch rooms so we can have the master. I am so tired of sharing a tiny bathroom, a one-person closet. She is refusing though and she gets mad when we bring it up. We just don't think it's fair to all pay the same amount for rent but she gets way more room than us.
Starting point is 01:14:33 Are we the crazy ones for thinking that we deserve the master? You should have never been paying the same amount of rent to begin with if one person had a bigger room than another person. Like that's in every apartment even when I had an apartment with some girlfriends like we all paid a little bit more or less depending on who had the biggest room who had better bathrooms that's just you set a bad precedent I'm sorry to tell you of course and that's shocking to me that's so unfair and I think that if she won't switch rooms with you guys then you guys should move out or you guys should start paying way less rent and by the way now that she's single not to like you, you know, add insult to injury, she's not able to afford more rent, most likely.
Starting point is 01:15:07 So being like, we have felt that this was unfair for a while, so we are prepared to leave. Yeah. Unless you want to give us the master, and you shouldn't pay more for the master, because she wasn't. Right, right, right, right. Because now it's even.
Starting point is 01:15:19 This is very complicated. No, you need to do a proper sit down, and say, we would like the master, if you do not want to give it to us like we are moving out. And that's just that's what's that's on what's fair. Or because like maybe they don't want to move. It's a pain in the ass. You say, we want the master and we want to pay the same amount that you're paying.
Starting point is 01:15:38 If you are not prepared to move, we are either prepared to move out or have you start paying a third more of the rent. You have a much bigger room square footage wise you have a bigger bathroom bigger closet like you in in any realistic any realistic person would say that the master bedroom versus a regular guest room gets separate yeah rents and be prepared to walk you've got to have to be prepared to walk away yeah I feel like that's like what they say is like key to negotiation. Yes. The person who's able to walk away has the power. I am not a good negotiator, but I am always prepared to walk.
Starting point is 01:16:10 So maybe I am. That's true. You know, I'm definitely always prepared to sit. Not these days with your cocks. So true. So true. I feel bad for you.
Starting point is 01:16:21 Like this sucks. Yeah. But you kind of got yourself into a bad situation, but I understand you can take it for a ride when you're the girlfriend like you just want to like get along oh yeah we'll pay the same yeah it's absurd but you've gotten yourself to a bad place all being the yes man look where it got you yeah agreed all right our third and final hey swirlies huge toaster here with a huge dilemma I've been dating my boyfriend for five years and things are great except I have a slight problem with his mother. Every time we go out to dinner with his family,
Starting point is 01:16:48 his mom tells the waiter that it's my birthday. At the beginning, I understood she was trying to be funny, but anyone who knows me well knows that I hate attention. So I just find it odd that she's still doing this five years in. I also feel weird scamming these restaurants for a free dessert when we have plenty of money and we don't need to do something like this. Should I do something about it or should I just put up with how uncomfortable it makes me feel? Please help a girl out. This is a nightmare. Nightmare.
Starting point is 01:17:10 It's also like a really weird thing, like personality-wise, for your mother-in-law to be doing. Like, she should be embarrassed. I agree with all of your reasonings. And I almost think, though, like asking her to stop, like, makes it even more weird, you know? Because it's like, it makes you look like a baby almost, but you're 100 hundred percent right.
Starting point is 01:17:26 Yeah. Your husband has to say something. Yeah. Or she should do it. Or like your boyfriend should say something. And if she really needs to get like a free cake at every meal, like have it be your boyfriend's birthday. To me, I think the worst part is like sitting there
Starting point is 01:17:37 while people sing happy birthday to me. It's hard enough when it's your actual birthday, but at least like you're working on your wish. Like you're, you're feeling excited. It's once a year. You're trying to be grateful. Um, I also, how often are you going to dinner with her but say it's even a couple times a year at minimum like that's too many times there's a reason why it's only once a year no that's like really low-key lame of this lady like she needs hobbies this is so illusory
Starting point is 01:17:58 and you know what if it bothers you like normalize speaking out against things that make you uncomfortable okay but like she's still the girlfriend, Claudia. What have we learned? Like I feel like you have to behave. I like the idea of you telling the waiter like, listen, my mother-in-law, like she has a bad memory. It's not my birthday. Like don't worry about the cake. She's got the old dementia.
Starting point is 01:18:16 And then she's like sitting there anticipating it. And then you guys just walk out. Crazy gran again. I love that. Yeah. No, I like hate this for you you're right the idea of sitting even on your real birthday is like uncomfortable even if you like attention which I do like it's always like everyone like hey like stop and now like going through that knowing you're scamming this
Starting point is 01:18:38 restaurant it's not your birthday you kind of hate your future mother-in-law like there's a lot more for you to think about in that awkward moment. So you're totally justified in disliking it. Jackie's take of like you being the girlfriend and just putting up with it is valid. But like five years, like. Also, where's your ring? Yeah, you need to get engaged. Unless you're like against, not against, but like you don't want to get married and you're happy being a girlfriend forever.
Starting point is 01:19:01 Or unless you guys are like 19. Right. Been together since we were 14 12 yeah I guess barring those exceptions but I think like you know the majority it's like right you know if you get engaged this would solve your problem I don't know I think you you keep a lid on it till you're the wife like yeah you know what I mean no I'm saying if you become like if you focus all your energy now not on the cake but on getting engaged the the cake thing then by the time you energy now, not on the cake, but on getting engaged, the cake thing would remedy itself. Then by the time you're married,
Starting point is 01:19:27 you could take the cake and throw it at the wall. Correct. Yeah. Don't do that since someone has to clean it up. All right. Thank you guys for writing in,
