Mr. and Mr. Maldonado: Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025

I sound amazing. Welcome back to The Toast and happy.
Hope everybody's having a pargelicious definition. And of course, Fergalicious Tuesday.
I'm having a brutalicious Tuesday. Because that's a good way to spend.
Bruno is here. He heard that rodeo had started coming to work, pulling his weight.
He started to feel guilty and he's back back. You're having a, what did you say, a brutalicious? Brutalicious.
I'm having a Q-delicious. What's that? It's kind of a celebratory day in my community.
Sorry, Q-munity. Because it's Tuesday.
And that means that the DTQ. Oh, so it's a Q-delicious.
Yeah, it's a Q, Q-U-E. I thought it was like C-U-T-E.
I mean, every day when you're turning to Freebush is a cutesy-licious day. Every day on this show.
We're such cuties. So it's Tuesday after the vitriol that was sent my way for prioritizing my physical health last week.
And yeah, skipping deer toasters. I'm back with a vengeance.
I just want to say to the DTQ, I was not only I not only heard, but was extremely hurt by your words last week. I don't know why we have to attack other segments when we're defending the DTQ.
Like, that's really hurtful. I'm sorry.
Like I said, like I was having a really tough day yesterday, last Tuesday. This Tuesdayuesday i got like nine hours of uninterrupted sleep like i'm good we will cue we will dtq but i just want to say some of you were acting really fucking out of control last week some of you should be ashamed of yourselves not even the attacking of other segments which i understand you're lashing out but that's where i draw the line personally.
But that you would make Claudia feel any sort of way.

Yeah.

You could tell she wasn't okay.

And that Dear Toasters is more important to you than your girl's health.

Because guess what?

Say she powers through that Dear Toasters and you get what you want.

At what cost?

But then what if she couldn't do the next day?

And we missed a whole episode.

Because of Dear Toasters.

Like you guys really need to put things into perspective and be glad.

And be glad that she quit while she was ahead.

Where I drew the line was like people coming for Weenieie of the week like let's not let's not go there okay just because you love one segment doesn't mean you have to put another segment down but like if you want to come for weenie of the week like you're not hurting anyone right except for claudia you're hurting me yeah but i just think coming for the fact that we didn't do deer toasters on and we're not moving it to another day like we have a schedule we have things to do sorry if you didn't watch real houses beverly hills and you'd rather have deer toasters like there's a lot of people who listen to this show it's yeah it's a community and while i love the dtq i'm always defending them you guys turned on me last week and i've been like the like your advocate and so i didn't think that that was cool not the was not the one. No, but having said that, we are back today with a vengeance.
The submissions are amazing. It's gonna be great.
Can't wait to hear everyone's thoughts. But look in the mirror.
But go easy on me, okay? I am kind of the last standing DTQA, DTQ advocate and it's just- It's a teachable moment. People throw rocks at things that shine.
It's a teachable moment. Just next time, zoom out a little bit.
Yeah. Go to Patreon.
We have like whole episodes dedicated to your toasters. Speaking of Patreon, Jackie and I did something yesterday.
We literally made ourselves so sick sitting in these chairs, nor Jackie, Jackie, nor I, we talked about this last week. Have I ever really tried crumble cookies? I have had a bite of a chocolate chip cookie from crumble once like I have to I feel like I have to say that because people are gonna be like no you didn't but we've never like eaten the menu items we've never participated in crumble culture and so we did yesterday and of course we filmed the entire thing we tried all seven menu items in these chairs we had them delivered it was such a journey of journey of unexpected results.
I don't want to spoil it, so I won't. But if you're looking for our thoughts on crumble as a concept, but also their individual cookies, we did a taste test of this week's menu items on the Patreon.
It was hysterical. It was hysterical.
We felt so sick afterwards. Yeah, I don't want to spoil anything.
So I'll just say, like, head over to patreon.com slash the toast when you're done listening to this episode probably go over on desktop not the app otherwise they'll charge you more yeah just a reminder we have not raised our patreon prices seven dollars and 99 cents as always that's what we made it when we started it's like the costco hot dog it is seven dollars and 99 cents it is interviewing us like how are you keeping Patreon prices down in this economy? Just like the Arizona tea guy.

Always.

Right.

Stories about him and his $1 tea.

So true.

99 cents.

With his $4 billion company.

So he's so generous with his $1 tea.

Right.

Right.

Why don't you give it away for free?

Nobody's asking us.

If you're that generous.

Yeah.

Well, if you were to ask us, we haven't changed our prices.

Although it appears as though we have because if you download the Patreon app on like iOS

on your phone and subscribe, Apple has started charging a 30% fee.

Like, we don't even get that money.

That shit blows.

that you're going to be Although it appears as though we have, because if you download the Patreon app on, like, iOS on your phone and subscribe, Apple has started charging a 30% fee. Like, we don't even get that money.
That shit blows. That shit goes to Tim Cook's pocket, okay? So, honestly, like, go to Patreon.com on your computer if you want to sign up.
Don't go on. Actually, if you, like, whatever's easier for you.
I don't know your financial situations. If you want to, like, pay the extra few dollars for the convenience of the app, that's also fine.
But just know, like, those extra few dollars do not line my pockets. They don't line my pockets.
Patreon.com slash a toast.

Yeah.

So that was a really fun thing we did yesterday.

And then after that, I got an at-home prenatal massage, which like I just, I planned the day poorly.

My stomach was rumbling. Like I felt so sick after eating all those cookies.

I couldn't even relax.

Yeah.

I understand.

It was not a good sequence of events.

No.

I had to like burn off all the sugar.

Went grocery shopping, cooked a healthy dinner.

I had taco salad.

You know, I just needed health.

I had chicken rocks.

Yum.

We're so south of the border.

Literally.

What's that Ed Sheeran song, South of the Border, with Camila Cabello?

It was actually a good song, but I don't know how it goes.

I don't know either.

And there's a part where they go, south of the border. Like us having dinner last night.
Literally. Just have that energy.
And then I was forced to watch the Knicks game, which I do obviously like watching sports, especially when there's like a cultural, pop cultural connection. And basketball, I will say, of all the sports, I feel has the least pop cultural connections, except last night, and I'm learning a lot about the Knicks.
Like I haven't really watched them in a couple of years. Jordan Woods is like the number one wag.
Do you know her man is like the best player on the Knicks? I think you told us that. Oh, did I? Well, he's really shining.
It's playoffs. So it's like a big deal.
And it's Carla Anthony Towns this, Carla Anthony Towns that. And then the other night we watched the game and he went over when they won, They lost last night.
When they won, they followed him like when the buzzer buzzed. And he ran over to Jordan.
She looked gorgy and sitting courtside. You know, wags are usually sit courtside.
Well, celebrity wags do. Yeah.
Did Ben go to the game? No. So I bet it's only the first round.
And it was the first and second games of the first round like okay if it's a chance that like they win the game to go to the next round like he can go but I'm like please don't waste your time like leaving me home alone wasting money like come on we'll watch it together we'll have so much fun we'll have so much fun so we watched the first one together I think it was on Saturday night and like I just kind of got lost in my phone I was not being like an active participant and I was like fuck like I felt myself I felt the game ending and night. And like, I just kind of got lost in my phone.
I was not being like an active participant. And I was like, fuck, like I felt myself, I felt the game ending.
And I was just like, seriously, not paying attention. And he was like, you weren't really like watching and like talking with me.
And I'm like, you're so right. You are so right.
So if you were looking for me last night between the hours of like seven to 930, I was so fucking active. I was like, really trying to make, I'm like, that is amazing that they can do that.
Like it's so, and that's Sh that's, that's Jalen Brunson, right? I was so fucking chatty and active and I feel like it really made him happy. And like, I, I got him to stay home for one more game, you know? But like, was that worth, that sounds like a lot of work.
Like maybe you should just let him go to the game so you can relax. It was definitely a lot of work, but it wasn't worse than being alone.
It wasn't. And is there maybe someone you could invite over, like a mutual friend of both of yours who could take on some of this work and talk to Ben about the game while them both stay home? But then we're not in bed.
And if we're not in bed, we might as well be out of the house. You know what I mean? Someone who could be in your bed.
Satchel or Romeo? But Satchi wouldn't be a good pal. Not an active participant.
And you wouldn't watch on your couch? I have such a love-hate relationship with my couch. I mean, you have to get out your binoculars.
No, not a... Okay, don't be fucking rude.
That's not true. I have a very nice, expensive TV in there.
I know. You know it was expensive because it was the frame.
Yeah, and then you have to buy the frame separately, okay? Like, nobody talks about that. I know.
I just... I'm in my house.
I'm in my pajamas. I'm laying down...
not on my couch. I mean, not on my bed.
You're preaching to the choir. I feel like maybe before I got pregnant, I was more open to the couch.
But seriously, what am I doing on my couch? No, I'm trying to find solutions for you. But I understand it's an imperfect situation.
Yeah. And so our building has like this this outdoor area it's been so beautiful in the city and there's like an outdoor tv couch set up and like we keep saying like we'll have some people over like well like it's not happening it's not happening rather do that than just let them go to the game yeah have some people over and watch outside you don't you guys don't understand i fucking hate being alone and, like, kudos to that.
I can't remember the last time I was alone. I've been really supported throughout this journey.
And so, yeah, I'll do whatever it takes in my home. Okay.
Do what you got to do, Coach. That's what I'm doing.
I watched Paul American last night. I know you did.
So good. The fight with Floyd Mayweather was postponed because Floyd had an ulcer, which we knew, you know, in real time.
So he's trying to find another person to fight him. And it's actually funny because Tommy Fury came up.
And that's what I was thinking. I was like, just fight Tommy again.
Everybody loved that the first time. Yeah, that was.
I wish like I had been more conscious of the Paul Fury. Like I wasn't.
Claudia. At the time of the fight, it was such a big deal.
And I didn't really know a lot about. I'm why do we care about these people one of my life's regrets oh you too okay what it was not being conscious for the Jake Paul Tommy Fury fight yeah like to have I would have stayed up for it I would have hosted people I just watched outside a video of like a girl named Molly Mae cheering when she found out because she couldn't watch it and she was home with her baby and I was like oh I'm happy for her that looks nice yeah it was very much like I watched it as an like outsider so they were trying to think like who could sub in for Mike Tyson they were like Floyd Mayweather but he won't fight on seven weeks notice Tommy Fury and then they were like Netflix said that'd be a big disappointment it's like damn not Tommy Fury catching strays but I understood what they meant like to go from Mike Tyson prize winning fighter.
And to a rematch. Because he wound up fighting a guy named Mike Perry who's just like some fighter who's really good.
Jake's never fought him before so they were able to be billet like you know the violence king or whatever. But I feel like a rematch almost.
Why would that denigrate? And maybe I'm just offensive of Tommy Fury but like why would that make it worse? If anything it's higher stakes's history especially because Tommy beat Jake correct he's like the only person who has right maybe that's why maybe that's why no he would have done anything like to make this fight he like a good fight he has a lot of money riding on it a lot of money the fans like to like he I don't think he's scared of anyone I don't think so and I think at some point he will refight Tommy Fury and he will win. And we will be there.
Like maybe we'll go. Like we'll be so conscious.
Let's go. Unless it's like across the world.
But hopefully it's in Tampa with the rest of us. Oh yeah, was the last one in Dubai? I think so.
Or Saudi Arabia. Okay, what about Miami? What about Miami? Yeah, Tampa.
They do a lot of stuff in Tampa. No, that they were in Logan Logan yeah because Logan is WWE and the name of WWE is headquartered the name of the arena was something like the Emily Arena Tampa yeah that's WWE Jake Paul was fighting oh okay so wow they they hit up Tampa I'm gonna Vegas I feel like maybe they would win like Phoenix I would go to Vegas.
I feel like maybe they would do it like Phoenix.

I would go.

I will go.

If the next Jake Paul Tommy Fury flight is in the U.S.

In the States.

I will go.

What about Puerto Rico?

I will consider it.

You don't need a passport.

My passport's expired.

I need to take care of that.

Isn't it kind of crazy feeling like I can't flee the country if I need to?

It feels very like I'm living on the edge.

It is a weird feeling.

It is, right?

Yeah.

Okay, I need to do that.

But they said I need a new picture.

And so – a crazy feeling like I can't flee the country if I need to. It feels very like I'm living on the edge.
It is a weird feeling. It is, right?

Yeah.

Okay, I need to do that.

But they said I need a new picture.

And so obviously now I'm going to have to delay that.

You're going to wait until you're on Olympic.

Correct.

And then Logan and Nina are planning a wedding in Italy.

They're looking at all these venues.

They're so funny.

They're like, this one's $1 million.

This one is $3.6 million.

They talk about the price of everything.

I really appreciate that, honestly, as somebody who planned planned a wedding he's like obsessed with buying collectibles he bought like wayne gretzky's championship hockey stick for 336 000 and he buys a good price does it but like they're having a baby and he's like you have to stop okay but so obviously 336 000 sounds like a lot of money but like relative to his wealth they're so like it's unbelievable how much money these two make so I feel like when you said three I thought you were gonna say three million dollars no money 300 grand object for them it's actually so fun to watch and then they're also like having conversations like our daughter will have anything in this world she can go anywhere and do anything like how do we make sure she's a good person right and then they're like she'll have to fly commercial and logan's like you'll take her i'll meet you well i do feel like they are oddly even though they're like very extravagant whatever i feel like they're oddly fiscally responsible they've been making a lot of money for a really long time and they're always like investing in new businesses yes like obviously they do crazy cars and things planes but i don't worry about them the way like i used to worry about the zolciak beermans and i was right for that they weren't making a lot of money like the paul brothers there was a brief stint where they were doing very well making paul money no but i don't look at them and think that the pauls are living beyond their means no at all no not they live extraordinarily. They live extraordinarily, but well within their, it's all relative.
Yeah, no. And they're saving all those taxes being in Puerto Rico.
That's why I can't watch the show because I'll be too jealous of all the money they're saving on taxes. Yeah.
But once again, I just want to recommend Paul American to the all American viewer viewer because it's really an interesting show. And I want to dive in, but I do want to give a quick brief but honorable shout out to our Catholic community who thought everything we said about the Pope was so fucking funny yesterday.
Even though we didn't make any jokes because we would never. No, we didn't, but we were like giggling about stuff.
And they were like, no, you guys should totally come up with your Pope names because it's kind of how like we have hebrew names and when i was like oh yeah like duh it's so appropriate like when everybody goes through mass like they come up with a name um and they loved turdy's version the papacy well that's beautiful beauty is beauty right and catholics respect beauty there was nothing funny about that nothing funny about I've been seeing a lot of names being thrown around. Me too.
Different cardinals. I've seen six.
You've seen six. I saw four, but like two people were like blocked out because the other two are the shiners.
Yeah. Stars.
I think it'll be a while. They go into a state of mourning with like an interim.
There is an interim pope. Right.
And I think that's actually who Ralph Fiennes was in the movie, if I'm remembering correctly. So it'll be a while before they've elected a new pope.
Yeah, hopefully there's no controversy. I could see one of these candidates.
Old tweets. Liking Instagram models.
Classic tale. Photos on Instagram.
Yeah. So they'll be on their best behavior.
How are the stories today? Good. There are things we have to talk about, you know? Oh, well, let's talk about them.
So let's dive into the Fast Five stories that you.do need to know. And the Fast Five stories that you need to know are brought to you by Quince.
Mother's Day is actually a really difficult holiday to shop for. You know, mothers love to be like, oh, don't get me anything.
I have everything I need. And then they low-key get mad when you don't get them anything.
So if you want to give something that feels really special, Quince has totally solved it. Everything is high quality, it feels super thoughtful, and is actually affordable.
So don't overthink it. Just go straight to Quince on Mother's Day.
So they have cashmere sweaters starting at $50. They have 14-karat gold jewelry, Italian leather bags, fragrances, and more.
The best part is that all of Quince's items are priced 50% to 80% less than similar brands. They do that by partnering directly with top factories.
Quince cuts the cost of the middleman and passes the savings on to us. Quince, of course, only works with factories that use safe, ethical, and responsible manufacturing practices, plus premium fabrics and finishes, which we love.
I picked up so many items from Quince that really blend in to my wardrobe as a luxury item, and they're so affordable. That's the best part.
I have a fabulous cashmere sweater that I get so many compliments on. I have a really good solid pair of black trousers that are just good businesswoman pants that I wear for long hours, and I kind kind of sweat and they've really worn very well.
That's the difference with quince. Everything is

made really well, but you're not paying an absorbent amount of money for it, which I really

appreciate. So it's thoughtful, it's timeless, and it's totally her.

Our first story, People's World's Most Beautiful Woman is here and announced. And it is Demi Moore.
I think that's a great selection. She had a good big year.
She's a beautiful woman, of course.

I can't really get into my annual speech about people's most beautiful woman and sexiest man alive and like how different and strange they are. So I'll just say this.
Good selection. I'm happy for Demi.
I think she's very beautiful. She is very beautiful.
considering people's usual thresholds for this election.

And what I appreciate is that they always go with an older woman. It's not like Maxim, not 100.
Even though to me, more could be on that list too. Like I like their commitment to, you know, appreciating, respecting older women and not just like always young girls.
No, it would be likelex earl right right so i think given that like that's their parameters usually like this is the perfect choice like they gave julia roberts the year off because to me had a big year and everything about demisier was like about her beauty about her aging process about redemption to age with grace and And they couldn't have written it better.

A better candidate couldn't have come across their desk.

No, and I don't think we did predictions.

I never would have predicted this,

although it is like, so it's right in front of us.

It's such a great choice.

Obvious.

Much more obvious than her being time's most influential.

Correct.

Although it's clearly list time.

A lot of lists coming out this year.

What?

It's only April.

I know. Maybe there's like a mid-season list.
Maybe it's like end time. A lot of lists coming out this year.
It's only April. I know.

Maybe there's like a mid-season list.

Obviously the lists.

Maybe it's like end of Q1 list.

The lists that, you know, we love come out at the end of the year.

But it does feel like we've been doing a lot of lists.

I love lists.

I love lists.

Our listeners don't love lists.

I know they don't.

But the good thing about this is it's not like one through 100.

It's just to me more world's most beautiful, decided by people.

The photos are really beautiful.

She's talking about the last year, her experience with the substance

and the way the movie was received and aging and motherhood.

And it's just exactly when you look up people's most beautiful in the dictionary,

like you will find this.

Has to me ever been before?

Because it's a title you can hold multiple times.

Just ask Julia Roberts.

That's where things go in the rabbit hole. We got to look at the history.
Well, I can also just ask AI. People's most.
How many times has Demi Moore been people's most beautiful woman? Beautiful. I also read that you shouldn't tell chat GBT.
Thank you. Or please.
It takes up like a lot of energy for them to process those words. Just once 2025.
Julia Roberts holds the record with five appearances on the cover honor as the cover honoree. Yeah, no, that feels right.
So I saw that you're not supposed to like say please and thank you to AI. I always say please like, Hey, like please recommend a book for my book club.

Cause I'm not like a Neander.

I don't know why please would.

It's just another word that they have to process.

And then like,

apparently AI like takes a lot of energy to process it.

Those servers get really hot and it just contributes to global warming.

I had read a little while ago,

like every time you ask AI a question,

it burns like one double a battery. Oh, it's more than that.
I had read a little while ago, like every time you ask AI a question, it burns like one AA battery.

Oh, it's more than that, I think.

Like every time you ask AI a question,

like you kill a polar bear.

No, and I know that these are real problems.

Like they're just not my problems.

No, I need information for my podcast

and you, Sam Altman, whoever, like figure it out.

No, and like you guys create,

like it's so not our problem whatsoever,

but I will say-

It's so not our,

you foisted this mechanism onto us.

I understand that please and thank you,

like, take up energy,

but I think if people get used to, like,

asking for things without saying please and thank you,

it's gonna have a trickle-down effect

to, like, the rest of society,

and I think it's worth the expenditure.

I do.

I actually think that's a really brilliant analysis, because I was just gonna cut out please and thank you. And then it's like, what kind of monster am I? I don't say thank you.
I've moved on because also most of the time they haven't given me what I've really needed. Oh, are you talking about you don't say thank you in real life or just to AI? To AI.
Oh my God. Yeah, me neither.
Like, no, I got what I needed. Bye.
Yeah, like I'm not sticking around. TGYL.
I have a life. 1000%.
Who's like sitting, having pleasantries with AI? But I always say please. Yeah, of course.
That's really funny. It's a funny anecdote.
Yeah, it is. But you're right.
We shouldn't forego the pleasantries. I think it's worth it.
Sorry, polar bears. Sorry, penguins.
Manners come first. Siri.
The thing is, you can't blame me. I didn't invent AI.
I'm just like a prop in the machine. Yeah.
But to get back to our question, the previous sexiest beautiful women, last year. I wasn't asking, but okay.
Last year, Sofia Vergara feels right. Did I tell you I saw her at a restaurant the other day? No, I don't think you did.
That's surprising. Pardilish.
Most beautiful beautiful would you say yeah i i was like actually really taken by her and also at the same facility the same evening i saw reese witherspoon wow has she been most beautiful she's next by the way definitely she's definitely next then the thing is you have to agree to sit for it and there's like an interview that's associated and not everyone wants to do a people magazine interview in promotion mode Reese would 100% do it if she had something coming out 100% I don't know I don't think that she would why because when I think of the tier of press that she would do for any like promotional whether it's like a new book or whatever um i just think it exceeds people even though people

is like literally the largest magazine in this country i think you're wrong i think she i don't

think that i am she was on a press tour and it was most beautiful she would do this in a heartbeat

it's so like her brand and i disagree audience i disagree the year before melissa mccarthy i don't

remember that me neither then he helen mirin 2022 okay christy tegan 2021 i don't like that like not because she doesn't fit the mold like sorry a bikini model please like agreed get out of here go back to sports illustrated bitch we're respecting like older women okay yeah aging gracefully yeah um then but the year before that i actually think it was it was three

people was goldie hawn kate hudson and ronnie hudson fujikawa which is so cute daughter so three generations of beautiful women so cute so cute so cute the year before jennifer garner like a perfect selection yeah jennifer garner is like of the julia roberts elk you know who going to have her chance at this soon, I think? Kelly Clarkson. She's coming up.
Her time is coming. I completely agree.
She's extremely beautiful. And she's the elk of people's most beautiful.
I mean, she's like so American. So accomplished.
It's a great call. Confident.
A list of predictions that are definitely going to come true.

Our next story is some very exciting product news because Khloe Kardashian is launching cloud protein popcorn that snackers don't have to feel guilty about. Yes, she's been teasing this for like a little while.
Yeah, but in the last like 24, 48 hours, more teasers have come out and now the official announcement, the Easter baskets of the kardashian children at chris's palm springs easter celebration had so much stuff in them including popcorn that said cloud k-h-l-o-u-d and it's protein popcorn so eagle eye viewer saw that and now it has been officially announced that she is launching cloud protein popcorn popcorn a seed oil free snack that contains more than three times the amount of protein she's such a podcaster i'm sorry her seed oil free popcorn she's one of us she's like a you know you're like really entering the podcast sphere when you launch a protein product yeah no and you're talking about seed oils even though of course like seed oils are bad i've seen it like i've seen it all about seed oils and i will hopefully stay away from them. But I'm not as passionate about seed oils as a usual podcaster and mother.
I can't really be that like emphatic about seed oils because apparently my beloved I can't believe it's not butter spray is like just exclusively seed oils. And I can't give that up.
Therefore, I can't give up seed oils. Yeah, that's why like I like to shop at Thrive Market because like they don't have seed oil like I don't but I'm not always looking you know and I can't give that up.
Therefore, I can't give up seed oils. Yeah, that's why I like to shop at Thrive Market because they don't have seed oil.
But I'm not always looking, you know? And I'm sure seed oils get into my everyday. 1,000%.
But down with seed oils, like down. But that's the big marketing thing of the moment.
So Chloe launching a product that's obviously like a protein-packed snack, which is great, seed oil-free. Like that's what the peeps are looking for, the health-conscious folk.
Yeah, so, and it's a's a popcorn and she said I'm at this stage in my health journey for the past few years that I've been really trying to up my protein intake I'm all about muscle definition and being strong and healthy not just skinny the skinny is nice too she didn't say that yeah no for me like I'm okay just being skinny no it's like you can say that when you're skinny like she is like she is skinny you know yeah no and I just no. And I just, like I want to say like that's enough for me, Diana.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's actually not for her because she works out so much like she does need protein. Yes, 1,000%.
But it's like nice to say that like when you're already skinny. She said, protein-wise, I'm not someone that's going to sit down and have steak and eggs all day long.
And I need to consume protein. I was going to fitness stores to get protein, grab and go.
And they don't taste very well in my opinion. And they're filled with so much filler and artificial stuff.
And I really just wanted something selfishly that tasted great, that didn't have a ton of ingredients in it, that I could fill my protein intake with. I have to say, she's going to be a billionaire.
You think? Oh my God. I'm going to, as long as it's tasty, I would eat this all day long.
And then assuming it it does well which popcorn is a huge category weirdly

like there's some like boom chicka pop lesser evil like people love healthy popcorns it's an easy thing to have be healthy it's not that fattening um then so to take it to like the quest chips level is she's the first to do it and then she can do all sorts of protein snacks She could be the next quest.

She could.

She could.

I.

I'm not so sure.

Really?

What are your, what did you think when you saw it? Well, I don't know. I just was like, I actually, I don't have clear thoughts on it.
I didn't think immediately like this is brilliant or this is stupid. I was like, as a concept, yes.
Like we're all snacking all the time. So like if your snacks could be a little bit more, you know, protein filled, like that's great.
And the fact that there really hasn't been that when you when you think of like protein snacks, you think of quests, you think of like real like meathead snacks, you know what I mean? Like, so this is like a pargy lesser evil. I don't know.
I don't know. I'm not sure.
And the thing is, for me, I don't like getting my protein from like non protein sources. Like I do if I want protein, I'm going to have chicken.
I'm going to have eggs. Like I don't want a protein chip.
Like actually I don't. I don't feel like, okay, I got my protein.
It just feels like very phony. So even if this popcorn didn't have protein, if it was just like healthy, if it was lesser evil type popcorn, like, and it was tasty, just like puff corn that we love.
the uh what's like air like air I would be so down I'm always looking to expand a good snack for portfolio but like the fact that it has non-artificial added protein however you can get protein into popcorn please someone explain to me one day not today I don't care um is a bonus I think it's brilliant I need to try it and then I'll give more thoughts. I think it has potential, but I'm not 100% sure.
I think this could be big business. I mean, the food category, look at Siete.
It's also a category that the girls haven't infiltrated yet. I feel like a lot of their brands sort of like overlap with one another and they're like all in the same category.
This is totally new and different.

I feel like the only thing I can think of similar

is weirdly the Jonas Brothers have a popcorn company.

I didn't know that.

But it's more like artisanal.

You know, it's like delicious because they're boys.

Like it doesn't need to be healthy.

And it sells, it does pretty well, I think.

I think it's called Rob's.

Okay.

Yeah, something really random like that.

So this is a totally new,

I don't have like clear thoughts because I don't like I don't have a good example to reference as like somebody who did it right you know I think and also there's so many brands like this like new age health brands started by moms who are on a mission right I'm on a mission you know to seed oils and get protein for my kids and they're so this isn't for kids it's not not for kids oh really i feel like it's not for kids no i feel like it could be for kids i don't know if you need like giving your kids like protein popcorn but maybe not like babies well actually you can't even have popcorn until a certain age it's a choking hazard but like i'm sure true takes down some cloud i don't know why not i don't know it just feels weird like you're giving your kids like a protein shake i think some people give their kids protein shakes you really yeah like in a non-judgmental maybe i don't know when i make a little when i make a protein shake, I'll give my kids a sip. They love it.
They would love it. They would love it.
What was I? So anyways, she has like the right background. Mom on a mission to make snacking better.
It's a good name too. Mom on a mission to make snacking better.
I can see her on Shark Tank. It has her name.
I would love to see her as a guest shark. Like her name is obviously a part of the title, but it's also like Cloud Popcorn.
Like that's just a good name. And then she could just be like Cloud Foods.
Correct. Cloud Incorporated.
And all of a sudden she's Kraft. Cloud Incorporated.
She's Marjorie Post. Yeah, that's a better example.
So watch out. You guys better watch out for Chloeloe we're watching we're flying coco air soon up in the clouds cloud air do you think they feel like competitive at all with one another the sisters i don't think so i really don't like if you if we all like had businesses and everyone's living well and enjoying life and like you had a plane and I didn't.
Like I just want to ride, you know? Yeah, as long as you're generous with the plane. Yeah, and I think it seems as though the sisters are.
Yeah. So will we fly in cloud air soon? Can't wait.
Mazel tov, Chloe. You love to see a podcaster doing big things.
And doing big business. Yeah.
Are you ready for our next story?

I am.

I don't even need to ask what number it is.

I just know it's number three.

The Academy sets a new Oscars rule for 2025.

You need to watch all nominated... And suddenly things make sense.

You need to watch all nominated films

in order to vote in a category.

So apparently this was not the case

up until today.

The Academy of Motion Picture...

And now I understand

like how films like Amelia Perez, Anora made it this far. Nobody actually saw them.
Yeah. They were like voting based on vibes.
Vibes. How it felt and how it looked.
Judging a book by its cover, literally. Literally.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has approved new awards rules, updated campaign promotional regulations, and key dates for the upcoming 98th Oscars. The nominations voting period will run from January 12th to January 16th.
Among the most notable changes are revised voting requirements, the introduction of an achievement in casting award. Oh, I love that.
Perfectly cast movies. I love that too.
Hairspray. Give it posthumously to Hairspray.
Give it posthumously to Hairspray. Give it to Sleepover.
Yes, Jane Lynch. And clarified guidance on the use of general artificial intelligence in film production.
The updated rules also include expanded eligibility for international filmmakers and new submission deadlines across several categories. In a key procedural shift, Academy members are now required to view all nominated films within a category to be eligible to vote in the final round while it's surprising this wasn't already a formal requirement questions remain about how the academy plans to verify compliance and enforce the rule so basically they have like a streaming service that they send to all the members where you watch right so they'll be able to see who watch the movies but say you saw the movie at a festival or at the movie theater you'll have to i don't know like submit your ticket like yeah well there are ways first of all and second of all i obviously didn't know a little quiz about the movie i obviously didn't know that like you didn't need to watch the films i just assumed that you did right and i obviously like this should be the rule but the fact that it wasn't and now they're making it one like we're talking about it they almost should have left it as it is because now we all know that for literally what's this coming up on the 90th oscars like now we know that the 98 then we know the 97 before this were genuinely like fraudulent yeah it calls into question every oscar ever given out i think there was a time when like the best movies of the year were nominated for the oscars know in the golden age of Hollywood Wizard of Oz Titanic like where they saw the movies because they wanted to see them the movies that get nominated now nobody wants to watch and that's why they're not watching them but also it's easy to assume like everybody in the academy saw the Wizard of Oz right because it was like the biggest because everybody in the world saw the Wizard of Oz right and now they're just like choosing these random indie films like nobody saw it.
No, exactly. And that goes back to the original issue that they're like choosing the wrong shit.
Yeah. I mean, I obviously have my issues with the Oscars as somebody who really got invested this year.
I saw kind of an ugly side of it. And this doesn't shock me.
Gross mismanagement. Yeah.
Really, really crazy. Makes a lot of sense.
Do better, Oscars. Do better.
She said it. She said it.
Eh. Are you ready for our next story? Four? Yeah, I think I'm ready.
I don't know if you're ready. You don't think so? No, no.
You're ready in the sense that you don't need to read an ad. Thank you.
But I don't know if you're ready in the sense of what I heard today.

Oh, okay, wait, hold on.

Let me prepare myself.

Kevin Costner stepping out for lunch with a mystery woman, whatever.

Not Luandela Costner?

After Jennifer Lopez dating rumors.

Did you know that he was rumored to be linked to J-Lo at the moment?

I feel as though I did know that because what you just said didn't shock me.

Interesting. Kevin Costner was spotted stepping out for lunch with a mystery woman in la on monday he was seen just out and about months after he sparked dating rumors with jennifer lopez he opted for a casual ensemble and um was spotted with this woman and i am looking at the pictures of him and the woman and if it's the woman in the picture like they're not on a date because she's carrying a backpack.
But. Oh, oh, they should have put that in the headline.
Yeah, big backpack too. Okay, now I have to see how big is it.
Go to page six. No, no, Claudia, it's a non-date backpack.
Okay, no, obviously. There's no such thing as a date backpack.
It's so true. Unless it's like a little, you know, little Louis Vuitton.
Oh, like, oh yeah. Prada backpack, yeah.
Yeah. Steps up for lunch with Mystery Woman.
Oh, she's got a huge backpack. That's not a date.
1,000% not. They're working on something.
Also, lunch with a backpack. Lunch is so casual.
Backpack is so casual. These two people are genuine coworkers.
No, but it's bringing up the fact that he was spotted with j-lo it looks like they were oh they were at kimosabe in aspen in december okay so i just feel like a lot of famous people were at kimosabe and aspen in december okay but like i'm looking at a picture of j-lo someone's hat and kevin costner like in the same room in the same table okay let me see, that also just happens with famous people, you know? But let me see. But then do you think, when J-Lo met Kevin, what happened next? To be clear, in this photo, like, and this is obviously the best photo they got, they're not even addressing one another.
She's talking to her son, and he's showing somebody something on his phone. Yeah, but they're, like, they're at the same table.
You don't know that to be true children and i feel like kimosabe is just like that type of place like okay but okay so say he's seated next to jennifer lopez coincidentally when kevin meets j-lo like don't you think real recognizes real age-appropriate handsome recognizes age-appropriate beautiful that's the thing i'm not sure because i actually don't know what kevin costner is looking for after his divorce because i don't think he dated j-lo and i don't think he's dating the woman with the backpack so like what is his type i actually don't know who is he actually wasn't he connected to jewel okay so he does like an age-appropriate musician j-lo could be the next one for him that's what i'm saying she's very beautiful and enchanting so i just feel like even if he met her, which he did meet her in this Kimo Sabe, whether or not they went home together, he met her. They obviously said hello to one another.
Yeah. Bare minimum.
I feel like things could escalate. I don't hate that.
I don't hate it either. It's kind of just what she needs.
He is someone that she would date and she is someone he would date. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
And I feel like they both enjoy the finer things in life.

They both live well.

They both like Kimo Sabe in December.

Yeah, I think all famous people do.

It's sort of a requirement to get into Hollywood.

In December.

It's actually crazy that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills film there.

Yeah, because it's so cool.

Because it's so cool.

It's so highbrow.

During the season of, people go to Aspen pretty much twice a year, right like during new years and then ski week is like a thing in la um and you always see like literally it's not even just celebrities i don't think like anyone could just get in it's such an upper echelon a-list like politicians like it's so high class and they also filmed real housewives of beverly hills there like they must have gone in the off season for sure it wasn't december they don't even film in december was it snowing like I don't even think it was Aspen season it was frigid maybe fall did they even ski no the more you know the more you know anyways just now holding out hope for Kevin Costner that's really interesting thank you for sharing that I I didn't I don't know consciously knew that, but I feel like maybe we made it a story. I feel like I would remember, but maybe I didn't.
But also Jennifer Lopez could be a world's most beautiful woman one day. Has she not been? I didn't read her name, did I? Well, maybe.
No, you didn't. And I do feel like the time, her time is also coming.
To be it. Yeah.
Like I think she could also use that sort of blanket positive kind of mindless press PR in a good way. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's not been a good year. Yeah.
Well, never stop dreaming. Never stop dreaming.
I love that. Before you keep on the dream, let me just let you know that the remainder of the show, specifically the DTQ, is brought to you by Huggies Little Snugglers.
Huggies is the only leading brand with all around blowout protection for sizes one and two. So all parents out there know that there's nothing worse than a blowout.
Like seriously, I have actually as a really involved auntie, I've experienced a blowout or two. Obviously, that's when I turn the child back over to the parent.
But it's devastating to see a cute outfit get completely destroyed in a matter of moments. But it's all about being prepared.
And I think Huggies understands that. I think so, too.
You shouldn't have to live your life worrying about how you'll deal with the next inevitable blowout. Ease your blowout anxiety by switching to Huggies Little Snugglers.
And Jake, if there's any people listening who aren't parents yet who don't know or involved aunties like myself who don't know what a blowout is why don't you tell everyone what it is so a blowout is when the youngin makes a duty that is so large and so vast that it exceeds the parameters of the diaper it penetrates the clothing up the back down the legs and so it's not confined to the confines of the diaper. It penetrates the clothing.
Up the back, down the legs. And so it's not confined to the confines of the diaper.
It takes up more surface area. Well, Huggies Little Snugglers are up to 100% leak proof with blowout protection in the front and back on sizes one and two.
So you can feel confident relying on them for your little ones. Huggies Little Snugglers are now with blowout protection in every direction.
Size is one and two. Huggies, we got you, baby.
Today's episode is also brought to you by David Protein. Introducing David, packed with 28 grams of protein, just 150 calories and zero sugar, David gives you everything you need without all the junk.
This is 40% more protein and 57% fewer calories than the bars you've seen for years. It's truly the most efficient portable protein bar on the planet.
So whether you're trying to lose weight, you know, beef up in the gym, we were just talking about how important protein is and protein bars are so popular, but I find like some of them, A, just taste wise are absolutely disgusting. And B, while maybe they taste good, they're so caloric.
Like you feel like there's a trade off. You're either getting something gross or something that's not really amazing calorie wise.
So if you try to keep your calories down, your protein up, but also eat something like actually good. David Protein, they're like the gold protein bars.
I feel like everybody's talking about them right now. I'm talking about protein.

No, actually, I disagree with you. So I think this story is going to be great.
Tiger King star Joe Exotic gets married in prison. Jackie, skip.
To an inmate doing time for immigration crimes. Jackie, I'm sorry.
I didn't realize that's what we were talking about. I would have agreed with you the whole time.
I feel as a podcaster, as a comedian, as an influencer and as a content creator, there are some lines I won't cross. And talking about Joe Exotic is a personal boundary of mine.
I agree. I'm so not interested in this person.
However, when I saw he got married in prison, I was like, you could do that. And there's like wedding photos and they're both in prison.
So I think in certain facilities, I think if you're like in max for, you know, murder, you're not out here having ceremonies. But based on my book, The Many Lives of Mama Love, which I highly recommend if you want looking to learn about the prison system, there are different tiers of prisons and a lot of them are in the spirit of rehabilitation, right? Like they want leave with a better life and so they encourage classes and gd and whatever gardening they give you a job um and maybe he's at a facility such as that where they encourage people to find love right i didn't know i guess i guess i thought that like you can marry like your girlfriend on the outside i didn't know like two inmates inside could get married And then it's like, are there co-ed prisons where people could fall in love with people of the other gender? Because a lot of prisons are single gender.
So you could only fall in love. Well, even there are, I feel, co-ed, because in the book there was.
But they're in completely different buildings. Like it's the same prison, but different wings you never see.
Because that is like a recipe for disaster. Yes, it is.
It is. So no, I don't think that you can meet an opposite sex inmate and fall in love right so it could only happen with same sex right it could happen that's a good point like i never and and it's feeling familiar to me but i don't know if i knew that joe exotic was engaged no gay um it's feeling familiar to me yeah know.
I think that it was like talked about in the documentary,

but like that was an eye on a go.

Well, he shared a picture of him and his new husband

posing together in tuxedos and plain white hats

with boutonnieres to match.

He said never been more proud of someone.

He's here for, he's in jail for immigration crimes.

And so I think now that they're married, maybe he could say, but Joe has said said like even if he has to go back to mexico like i will go with him oh i didn't think about the potential like green card but he's like maybe maybe that's not real he said we're working on getting him asylum or we will be leaving america when we both get out i just feel like the immigration like police whose job it is like in in chuck and larry right when they had to pretend and they have to go through all these steps to like prove that they're a real marriage. I just feel like they're going to take one look at this couple.
They met in prison. It's like too convenient.
And I think I think it's they're not going to they're not going to pass any sort of litmus test for American immigration. I just that's how I feel.
OK, but then he will go back to Mexico with with him. And if he does that, like, that's love.
No, it is. I'm definitely down to be rid of Joe Exotic in this country.
But he's also serving, like, a 21-year sentence. Oh, no, the husband is serving a 21-year sentence for plotting to hire a hitman to murder.
I'm sorry. Who's Maldonado? Joe? Oh, you're asking me what joe exotic's real last name is i'm sorry that's beyond my no no maldonado is for hey flores maldonado is the husband yeah but wait so he was he's in prison for hiring a hitman to murder big cat arch rival carol baskin no no that's joe exotic okay so this is a typo in this oh okay okay okay

maldonado what's the other guy in prison for what's an immigration crime is that being here illegally they put you in prison i thought they just deport you um for immigration issues according to cbs news let's dig deeper maybe he's like maybe he's a citizen who's like smuggling people in He submitted a

Aiding and abetting

He was convicted in 2019

On 21 counts

In

Maldonado was convicted. We're confused.
Maybe Joe already took his last name because listen to this. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Joe Exotic's real name is Joseph Maldonado. Jorge is now Jorge Maldonado.
Oh, so how are we supposed to know which Maldonado they're referring to? But Jorge May Flores is originally from Mexico. He's serving time for immigration related issues, according to Joe's news release.
OK, and no one wants to let us know what those are. Yeah, because if you correct me if I'm wrong, if you are arrested for an immigration crime and your crime is being here illegally, they don't throw you in an American prison.
They send you back. Joe Giudice.
You pay, you do the time, and then you leave. No, but Joe wasn't here illegally.
That's what I'm saying. True.
But another slap on his wrist, and you're deported. Yeah, that's true.
Like if you're not living here illegally. So maybe he's in a similar situation as Joe Judiche, this guy Flores.
Like maybe he committed a crime and after he serves his time as another added punishment they're sending him back to Mexico. Yeah.
They're hoping to be really... This is why I didn't want to talk about this.
Like these people are a drain on... I'm learning so much.
I'm having so much fun. Yeah, they're a drain on society's resources.
And my brain. And your tax dollars.
And don't get me started on my tax dollars. But Joe Exotic has also requested a presidential pardon for both he and Flores, as well as asylum for Flores.
I have also requested a presidential pardon from ever paying taxes again, and I haven't heard back. So get in line, Joe Exotic.
Yeah. I let's see if that comes through for him.
Yeah. I don't think so.
In the meantime, while we wait, we'll wait with the DTQ every Tuesday, except for last week. Jack and I do Dear Toasters, our weekly advice segment where we try to help the swirlies in need.

Hi, girlies. My boyfriend and I are both 25 years old and we've been dating for three years.
He lives in a studio. I live in a house with roommates, but we are planning on moving in together next lease cycle.
I'm ready. Hi, girlies.
My boyfriend and I are both 25 years old and we've been dating for three years. He lives in a studio.
I live in a house with roommates, but we are planning on moving in together next lease cycle. I'm writing because my boyfriend keeps asking me to do what I consider wifey status favors for him.
For example, I was doing some work from home from his apartment while he went to the gym and before he left, he asked me if I could switch his laundry to the dryer since the washer cycle would end while he was out. He also wanted me to hang dry his jeans.
I did it to be nice because I am a natural caretaker, but I told him that these are not girlfriend chores and it probably won't happen again. I feel like volunteering is one thing, but he asked me to do it, which annoyed me.
He accepted it, but definitely did not comprehend why it was a big deal to me. Am I being overdramatic? And is this a normal nice thing to do for someone I care about? If not, how do I get him to understand wife versus girlfriend status? I have to say.
What am I missing? No. She sounds insane.
I chose this one. I chose this one because it was important that we tell you you're absolutely crazy.
Like, first of all, it's your boyfriend. So even like you just, you, as a human being, if somebody asks you for a favor, like, yeah, you just do it because they're like, this is your boyfriend.
So you're in his house. Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.
So you clearly want to be promoted. You have been promoted.
you want to be promoted to girlfriend and let me to wife let me tell you this is not the way to do it you're coming off so naggy and like unhelpful asking somebody to just flip the wash like i would do that to a friend like it's so like in their house apartment yeah you i understand your goals and i'm aligned i want to get you there your method is so off because this is not making him think oh this is a person I want to marry oh damn I hope she hangs dries my jeans I should propose so she'll do so it's like no you have to ingratiate yourself into his life that he can't live without you so of course he's gonna propose no and if you're just like at every turn with him asking you to flip the washer is like literally the least big deal. You're making a mountain out of a molehill.
Like maybe that doesn't endear him to be like, oh, I want to marry this person. It's more like, oh, this person is kind of like naggy.
Yeah, you've got to walk the walk. And if you had cited a lot of examples, like he's treating you like, you know, already a maid.
Yeah, like a maid and asking him to you to cook for him and like already like assigning these roles like i could maybe see how it's not exactly what you want because these things could cut him naturally but like asking you to flip the laundry while he's out like that's a very natural way to start and it's not even about wife first girlfriend it's just like a human being thing if your roommate was out being like hey i have to run to class can you just flip my stuff into the dryer? It's such a normal thing to ask.

You could ask the same of him.

He's not just asking you because you're a woman.

He's asking you because you're home.

You're there.

His clothes are wet sitting in the washing machine.

I'm so sorry.

I hate when we get a submission where we can't root for the girl.

And I really do always try,

because I know that's a criticism that we've gotten,

is that we're always bashing the toaster.

No, that's so untrue.

I feel like it's our last resort. And we really don't indulge you guys at all but sometimes it's really important to let you know that's how soon sees it and by the way you did ask am i being over dramatic and this is a nice normal thing to do for someone yes to answer your question you are being over dramatic and yes this is a nice normal thing to do for someone to be his wife you better change be his wife, you better change your attitude.
Yeah, because we're selling, right? We are selling you. And right now you're being, right, right now you're putting forward like kind of naggy energy.
Whereas if you were putting together like generous, lovely, easygoing, that's someone you want to marry. This woman makes my life easier.
I can't imagine her not being around. My life without her.
Yeah. A little bit of a strand.
You got a strand, Claudia. Oh, my hair looks weird.
It's okay. Just a strand.
Very. How's that? Perfect.
Beautiful. As ever.
Next up. Hey, Jackson Lettert.
I'm wondering if my father-in-law has gone too far this time. My PGM husband and I live in a big city, but we grew up in a small city where our families still live.
For years my husband's family has been on our backs about moving back, while my family's happy for us being where we are. The other day we got a phone call from my father-in-law that he's bought us a fixer-upper home in our hometown as a gift.
My husband is so excited while I could not be less enthused. While the gift is so generous, I can't help but feel like the decision was made for me without my input, which does bother me.
I love where I live. I love my career.
What's a girl to do? girl to do yeah I mean it's a really generous gift but it's obviously like also a threat yeah but like your family's also there so it's not just like them trying to shoehorn you into their life like to me this sounds so beautiful and lovely like go back to the small time where you have both of your families and you're gonna raise your family and maybe you I don't know if you have kids you didn't say. And so maybe you want to stay in the big city and then eventually move to the small town.
So take the next few years to fix up the house. It could be like a part-time house, but like don't look a gift horse in the mouth, my friend.
A free house is a free house. Yeah, I feel like it's important to know if you never want to move back to this small town or just not yet.
Because if not yet, Jackie's right. Fixer-uppers take forever.
You could rent it out. And then when you're ready, you feel like your career's at a place where you can move a little bit out of town or you want to start having kids.
Yeah. But if you never want to live there and it's, like, not even an option, which it doesn't sound like it is because your family also lives there.
It sounds like a dream. It does.
But obviously this is all about perspective. And like I know I have to respect the fact that like you want to stay in the big city and you might never want to move back to your small city.
But I just can't relate to you. I know.
I know. So we have to like – it's perspective, right? You could maybe relate more.
No, if somebody bought me a house, like I would move. Where your family is and their family is.
Right. Free babysitting for life.
Yeah. Someone bought you a goddamn house.
if somebody bought me a house, like I would move. Where your family is and their family is.
Right. Like free babysitting for life.
Yeah. Yeah, no.
Someone bought you a goddamn house. If somebody bought me a house in the place in which both Ben and I's families lived, like I'm there already.
I'm there. But listen, she has different worries.
I'm already there. Yeah, like I'm putting up sconces.
I got crown molding.

I'm the sunshine in your hair.

And you know what?

Maybe you're going to start a fixer upper project,

start sharing it on social media,

then you become a famous influencer

and it would never have happened

had it not been for this gift.

And you can influence from your small town

and you can quit your big city job

that's bringing you no joy.

But that's not what she said.

She loves her big city job.

What did she say about the big city?

She says, I love my career and I love where I live. She said those exact words.
So we're projecting, we're not being helpful because we are projecting. Yeah.
And it's like, I love my career too. And, and it doesn't tie me to a big city.
So that's not fair of me to like put that on you. Right.
Right. No, like we could do our jobs from anywhere.
So like we would be like, well, just go home and be a big career woman from your house. But that's probably not the case.
So in terms of actual tangible, helpful advice, you need to decide if you never want to live in this place, which I feel like you don't.

But what if it's your second home then? And that's where you stay when you go back and visit your family?

Love that. It's a gift.
So like you don't have to pay for it. That's a great idea.

Yeah, I think this is like really so, so fantastic. It's doable.
It's doable. I think it's so fantastic.
And you can make it what you want and you can go as much or as little as you want. But it's overall a really nice thing.
Yeah. And just make it work for you.
Look at it as a – I feel like you're looking at it as a burden.

Whereas look at it, get creative.

Jackie's right, second home.

Maybe eventually.

Some people are just like getting a house and they're complaining.

Give it to me.

Give it to me.

I'll show you how to do it.

Give it to me.

All right, next up.

And our third and final.

Hello, swirls.

I'm in need of some advice from the gals. I'm five months pregnant, and my husband and I have had sex once since we found out I was pregnant.
I had a really rough first trimester. I had HG.
I was hospitalized. But thankfully, I'm well past that now, and I'm feeling pretty good.
This is my first pregnancy and first within my family and friends, so I don't have anyone to really ask. Is it weird to not be having sex? I have not initiated anything, and to be honest, I'm not really in the mood as I'm trying to accept all these lovely bodily changes for the first time my husband has not made me feel bad or even brought it up I think he knows that I'm really not loving this journey I guess I'm asking if this is normal weird or should I bring it up are we just not gonna have sex for like a year and no sorry Claudia my husband is not gay he's not having an affair and I think he's I think he's genuinely just a good guy who can read the room Thank you for that.
Signed, a content but guilty feeling toaster. Now, let me say this.
I totally feel you because he's 1,000% gay and having an affair with a man. Multiple.
No, when I first got pregnant, Ben, like the first one, I was so nauseous. Like I would say it ended like three and a half months.
I like oh my god I will never kiss my husband again like I think he's the most revolting man on the planet like everything he does sends a chill of rage down my spine his breath could kill someone like I I was kind of making peace with like I will I will seriously never be attracted to this person ever again but let me tell you it really goes away goes away. And I feel like yours is just taking a little bit longer.
Because I feel eventually, I've heard like both things. I've heard from people like, one, hated my husband the entire pregnancy, like wanted to kill him, thought he was disgusting, couldn't believe I was having kids with him.
And then the second being like, never loved my husband more, so obsessed with him, so attracted to him. Like my body like craved his smell, pheromheromones and I feel like both are totally normal some people have both in one pregnancy that's what I feel like I had some people have one in one pregnancy and I feel like it's totally fine like there's nothing wrong with this like pregnancy makes women hornier sometimes yes sometimes not especially if you've had a really hard time I feel like women who have been through hg like deserve the world and whatever you want you get is yours um so if you're not feeling it don't do it and it's not always what's best for your body like it it it can be painful like i think if you go your entire pregnancy without having sex it's not like an awful thing not at all no i completely agree a lot of people are on pelvic rest after i had my circlage oh get away from it no some people definitely um i think sex helps them helps them feel beautiful feel connected to their partner um you can feel kind of distant from your vagina because you're literally getting physically further away from it so it feels you feel connected feel connected to your body.
And then some people it's like a strain. Like not only does it hurt physically, it doesn't make you feel good.
So just lead with your own feelings. But literally neither of them are wrong.
Neither are wrong. If you're not wanting it, don't do it.
If you are, then do it. And the fact that your husband's not saying anything, like it's not weird.
Don't feel like, oh my God, I'm the only person in the world who didn't have sex when they're pregnant and my marriage is over. Stop counting, even if it winds up being a year.
Even if, stop counting, it's really not a big deal. There's a time in life for everything and sex will always be there.
No, and gratitude is so important because I feel like we need to be grateful to your man. Some people's husbands are such assholes.
This was a trend on TikTok. It made me actually really sick um people sharing like their abusive husband stories and like how you know showing up to your six-week post-op post labor appointment pregnant because like your husband pressured you into having sex like some men are such animals about it like the fact that your husband's not even bringing it up because he doesn't want to make you feel uncomfortable like p-jom that's when you say my husband's a p-jom like that's fucking p-j so i want to worry about it no don't do not worry about it for one second take care of you this is not a cause for concern at all no not at all and i feel like it's very normal that was mostly her question very normal i feel like if you do it and you don't want to do it like you will really regret it no like it won't make you feel good you don't have yeah it's up to you very normal no i feel like she was thinking like oh my god everyone's having sex when they're pregnant and i'm not like no they're not wrong with us no no you're very normal did you talk no did you fuck no you always talk i know i thought but you were in the middle of a sentence I finished normal okay

whatever
