Good morning, millennials.
Welcome back to the Toast and Happy The Hurs Day.
That feels like a real Thursday.
You know what I'm saying?
No, that's not been my experience.
Oh my god, just once, like, just agree, like for the sake of agreeing, like, nobody cares.
My, excuse me?
Like, it's not that deep.
Like, yeah, it feels like a Thursday.
Oh, because it is.
Like, it's not that deep.
Okay, it feels like a Thursday.
Yes, I'm so glad you agree.
Yeah, I couldn't have said it better myself.
You look gorgeous.
We're both wearing just kind of like comfy, cozy energy today.
We're giving Jim.
I'm wearing sometimes there's nothing cuter than a gray, like zip-up hoodie.
I stole this from Olivia, and she's not getting it back.
Sorry.
Gray is tough for me.
Now that I've discovered that I think I'm a winter.
Okay.
So like, I don't know, is gray a winter or a spring?
Definitely not a spring.
It might be an autumn.
You You should just get your colors done.
I know for the amount that I talk about it.
Yeah, I think I have some an email in my inbox.
I need to read it and see if the person's in Florida because then we should do it while you're here.
Patreon.
Oh, speaking of Patreon, probably up today, I started the editing process last night.
I vlogged my whole evening last night, which was my book club with my private chef, catered affair.
It was so good.
The book club, like everyone's talking about it.
Everyone said it was like one of our best meetings yet.
The food was so good.
The conversation was so good.
It's really a great book club book.
Everyone liked the book, had a lot of very strong critiques of the book.
Did you hear about Kitty Carr?
It was the name of the book.
Really just kind of like a textbook, perfect evening.
And a great book club book, you would say?
Yeah, I have a, I'm like very frustrated.
It was the author's first like debut novel, which is so major.
I almost wish she had waited to tell the story.
She had a little bit more experience under her belt because she tried to do a little too much.
And by the end of the book, it's like she ruined the magic she had created in the middle.
And it was on its way to being like one of my favorite books ever.
Wow.
And I like was so frustrated with it.
Like I kind of hate it now.
It's, it's very confusing.
And everybody was feeling the same way.
Got it.
Interesting.
What are you guys reading next?
We'll find out today.
Very cool.
Well, Redheads, speaking of book clubs, we are reading, actually, this is kind of exciting, big Redheads news.
Oh, my God.
Hold your, gird your loins.
We're reading The Frozen River by Arielle Laughin, who wrote code name Helene.
Okay.
Which makes this our first time that we're doing an author twice on the Redheads.
And she's our, I didn't, I didn't think it would be her, but it's her.
Yeah.
But like, who else would it be?
Like, it could be, you know, one of the classics, Sally Hepworth.
Yeah.
Jessica Knoll.
Yeah, yeah.
Kristen Hannah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's Arielle Laughin, which I love that for her.
I loved code name Helene.
So I'm really excited for Frozen River.
It's a historical fiction book.
It's like based on a true story, which I love.
We haven't done historical fiction at the Redheads in a while.
And in my personal life, I've kind of been slipping on my historical fiction.
We caught Jack slipping.
We caught me slipping.
So I kind of need to get back into the history books.
And I think that's a good way to dip my toe into the frozen river.
I am so excited to see you in just a mere, you know, two days.
Hours, technically.
Hours at this point.
I'm giddy with excitement.
I can't wait to see my family.
And it's just, it's the end of the week.
I'm seeing my family.
It's the Super Bowl.
I have my health.
No, it's I.
Everything's kind of coming up.
Excitement, joyousness,
positivity.
Fun, fun, fun.
I'm going to leave it at the.
I couldn't agree more.
So important, like, when you're at,
you know, the summit of something.
Is that the right use of the word?
Is the summit at the top or the way up?
Like, it's like you're at the edge of the cliff.
Like, you're like there.
You're there.
Okay, so, okay.
I guess maybe no, maybe that wouldn't be.
I feel like this is.
All I'm trying to say is like, I feel like a huge part of like maintaining a healthy mindset in life is like to acknowledge like exciting things coming.
And like, I, in this moment, I just want to be very present saying I'm so excited for what's to come for me in the next couple of days.
The summit is the highest point.
Okay, so I guess I'm like about to reach the summit and I'm sitting here like taking a moment of gratitude.
Yeah, and I think the way to the summit, the on the way to the summit in, is in some ways better than the summit.
I would agree.
Because you have what to look forward to.
That's really the message of the climb.
Yeah.
So
once again, the climb,
it's always relevant.
Once again, everything comes back to the climb.
Well, that's the truth.
I've been in such a Miley Renaissance since the Grammys.
I've been listening to Endless Summer Vacation because I was like, I want more of this girl.
Of that energy.
What I didn't realize is the song Used to Be Young, which is one of my favorite songs of last year.
We talked about it on the Patreon of 2023 recap, is from that album.
Yeah.
I thought it was like a new single.
She was doing new things.
So I'm like, okay, so there are two songs that are kind of like life-changing for me from that album.
Yeah.
I need to listen to the whole album.
And
I only got into four songs before I was forced to play Happy Song.
Oh, my book club was talking about Happy Song.
Is it really life-saving for them as well?
Some of the mothers in book club, they were familiar with the happy song.
And then some of the newer mothers hadn't heard of it yet.
And this was like kind of the passing of the torch.
Yeah, so I feel like there's someone out here there who needs to hear this.
If you have a fussy baby, there's a song by Imogen Heap, who is a great talent.
She sings Good Night and Go, other bops, but she wrote a song for children called The Happy Song that is like melodically and chemically
written to cheer up your baby.
Give it a try.
It's like designed to ease the mind.
Yeah, give it a try.
Next time baby is like fussy and it's not because they're hungry or they're pooped or need a burp or this or that, like try the happy song.
It works for us.
Not all the time, but enough of the time.
It worked magically.
Oh my gosh, Jackie, I forgot to, I mean, I did tell you this, but I need to talk about it on the podcast.
I'm going insanely viral.
I heard.
Okay.
So I was looking through my TikTok drafts, like just to see like things I haven't posted.
And I forgot that I had made this TikTok while we were on our family vacation And I never posted it.
It was just this funny moment where we all got up from the dinner table and we realized that our sister Margo had eaten her dinner off of the charger, not the actual plate.
And it was like this funny, stupid thing.
I literally went to bed and I was like, oh my God, it's at 700,000 views.
I woke up this morning.
Now, 6.3 million.
Claudia, the universal no-deal TikTok kerfuffle is great for you.
No music.
Okay, for a second, for a second, I was like, are you speaking English?
The universal no-deal kerfuffle?
Now it makes sense, though.
No, you're totally right.
Now the comments are really split.
People being like, you are just like rich.
This is such like a privileged first world problem.
Even though like a charger, like you can literally get like at the dollar store for 65 cents.
Like if you've never been to a wedding.
And then most people also being like, what is a charger?
People like don't know what chargers are.
I learned about chargers late in life, too.
I think a lot of people learn about chargers when they get married.
Yeah, when did I learn about chargers?
I don't even think it was when I got married because I didn't register for chargers, but I no, not registered.
Oh, for decor at your actual wedding.
That's, I think, really when I learned what a charger was.
Yeah, so it's like a plate that's just decorative.
It's a
placemat made out of plate.
But it's like really not made out of plate.
It's not food safe.
No, but it's it's very akin to a plate.
It's of the plate elk.
Oh, it looks like a plate, but I'm talking about material-wise.
Sometimes they're like made of wood.
They're not really safe to eat off of.
No, no, but you could get confused.
It looks like a plate, and unless it's, especially when it's like
whatever this is.
It looks really, it's the same shape.
The shape, but even the material of the one that she ate off of
was a little confusing, except for the fact that like it was a charger.
Yeah, so I'm just like kind of going majorly viral.
Like all these, you know, like
like BuzzFeed type like accounts being like, we'd love to share your video.
Please submit content and consent and approval here.
Like, no, bitch, you think you're taking away my views?
Eat my ass.
You don't think it's going to help raise your rising tide, raise your shide?
Do you think I should do it?
No, no, no.
I want all the clicks.
You want all the clicks, but you don't,
like, you might need the distribution to get more clicks.
Well, you know, we'll get there.
Maybe I'll sign a distribution deal later on.
But right now, I'm just like kind of enjoying my moment.
For sure, but don't overplay your hand.
So true.
And you only have like minutes left
the world moves out.
Should I send it out?
What was the publications?
Anything legit?
Yeah, like Lad Bible, you know, like all those big Facebook page type ones.
Yeah, that's really how you get your name out there.
Should I do it?
I think Lad Bible you could do.
I don't know.
Maybe, yeah, like maybe then we could do like, I don't know, the Toast UK tour or something.
I think it should be publication dependent, not just like all publications can have the video, but like worthy ones.
Yeah, yeah.
I feel like Barstill Swords is like about to knock on my door.
Like, they love to do that.
Would you let them?
But that's how you go viral because then.
Jackie,
what have they said about Israel?
That's my litmus test.
No, like, if one
Annie Lennox wanted to repost my video, you know what I would say?
Turdy says no.
That's what I would say.
Nope, Barstool is marked safe.
Dave is good.
Yeah, yeah, I would, I would give it to Barstool.
I'll have to check what Lad Bible's been saying about the war in Israel.
When Barstool, like, then distributes it, then so many more people see it.
And that's how you end up on GMA, Today's Show.
Oh, my God.
By the way, what if I have to postpone my trip to UCU because they want me on the Today Show?
But
what if they want Margo?
That's interesting.
You're not in the video.
I sound like Madison Beer, but I'm supposed to be in the video.
No, I am in the video.
You just have
the star.
So by the way, so is Shapiro.
He's like in the reflection of the window, like cracking up at Margo.
What if they want Margo and Shapiro on GMA?
Oh, then I won't sign over any rights and everybody can stay less famous.
I just, when I think about examples that are akin to what you're experiencing, it's the person on camera who Hoda wants to talk to.
Of course, of course.
Not the sister who posted it.
Unless sometimes the person could bring their sister and maybe she would bring you.
Maybe she would bring me.
Maybe I just won't forward the email that I get from the today's show producers asking to be connected with my sister.
Also, you and Marco look alike.
You could impersonate her.
So true.
Okay.
You're going to steal the shine.
Yeah, or maybe I'll just let this thing die.
You know, no one else, if I can't get famous, no one else can.
Not rising tides, raise all shines for the sisters.
No, no.
No.
Not since you're distant from your family.
Yeah.
Oh, and that's the other element.
Like, I am Aaron Rodgers, so no, yeah.
Cut it.
That's a round.
You don't even have her email.
Exactly.
I couldn't forward it to her if I wanted to.
Sorry, Oda.
We, by the way, have an amazing show today because we have the stories.
And tell me about them.
How are they?
Like
I love them.
There's a couple that feel like that just tickled my fancy.
You know what I mean?
And not because they're about Royal Caribbean or the Royal Family.
I think it's just like things that say royal.
No,
don't say that.
I'm going to look into this.
And then there's also the obvious, you know, what you've maybe seen in the headlines.
I don't know what I've seen in the headlines, but what I do know is that with our new schedule, today we also have Dear Toasters, we have some very interesting, sort of different ones, you know?
I love different.
We have a
write-in about stand-up comedy.
We have a story about stand-up comedy.
Wait, also,
this next thing has nothing to do with stand-up comedy.
I just remembered that I wanted to say it.
So, I guess who I spoke to yesterday?
Tinks.
Well, I did, yes, but that's not what I was going to say.
I spoke to my trainer, Hillary.
She listens to the toast
and she's going to, she's going to get us into 5k shape.
She has like a whole plan.
She found us a running coach.
Like, we're done.
We're good.
We're done.
We're done.
That's, I'll be, I'll be able to like train in person, but she's going to make a plan like for all of us.
Okay.
Make a plan.
Stay alert.
Bring a snack.
Yeah.
Stop drop and roll.
Love that.
Okay, great.
Yeah.
Also, I think what I've surmised is that maybe the 5K doesn't have a location because they're like not serious about it.
And I think like maybe we took it really seriously.
Oh my god, not me getting a running coach and this whole thing's a joke?
That's what I was like getting from the comments.
Like, I think
I think they just like say
they just like say stuff and they're not kind of like doing it.
There's no 5K.
Oh my god, Jackie, we named our episode title about the 5K and there isn't even a 5k.
I don't know that there isn't a 5k.
Oh, no, Jackie.
Jackie, I was talking about it at my book club.
I was like,
I was like, I think Joe Rogan's gonna come.
Jackie, there is no 5K.
There's no 5K.
There ever was a 5K.
And that's why we were divided.
And that's why,
yeah, that's why he can't tell us the location.
Oh, Jackie,
there is no 5K.
That's
not confirmed, but it's kind of the vibe I'm sensing.
But I got a running coach.
Maybe we do a toast 5K.
Ugh, no.
Like, I would never choose to do it, you know?
Yeah, how do you do it?
And I was only doing it.
I was only doing it for like the thirsty element that I would get to meet other more famous, successful people that, like, who could prop me up and give me attention and like followers and stuff.
Like, let's be real, I don't want a 5K for fun.
Yeah.
I had a goal in mind.
Charity?
No, sorry.
Like, I'll just donate.
I'll write a check.
Awareness.
I'll post on Instagram.
So we'll stay tuned.
I mean, you never know.
They could decide to take us seriously, but I'm just feeling like
wait, wait, no, now that I'm thinking about it, like,
Burt never answered my DM like after he, like, I was like, oh.
like we never connected like it was just the story there was nothing to connect over
because there's no 5k
cool cool cool yeah there is no 5k okay cool cool that's so awesome me thinks and like this was just like this little joke on their podcast that like and they didn't even mean to but like
An unintended consequence of this like funny joke from their podcast was like these two enormous losers showing how desperate and thirsting they are.
I just want to say this all started because Jelly Roll said he was running a 5k.
Oh, I forgot Jelly Roll was going to be there.
Yeah.
And so
People Magazine was fooled too because that's where I saw it.
But they are fools.
So I don't know why I'm looping myself in with them.
I like how like we're, yeah, we're not fools.
We didn't fall for it.
You just can't believe everything you read on the internet, I guess.
It's just so crazy when you like find out a piece of information that just re-jiggers the way you look at the world, you know?
And it like, and it all makes sense.
I have, like,
and why I really relate to this one particular Taylor Swift lyric, like, in this moment, I've never been a natural.
All I do is try, try, try.
Like, I am genuinely, like, at my core, like a desperate person.
Like, I don't really have any need to be.
Like, I have a very full life.
I'm very successful.
Thank God, knockwood.
And this desperation, like this deeply uncool thing about me, I can't sort of shake.
And now I've just been exposed
for who I truly am.
Maybe exposing it and showing it to the light
is a way to kill it.
You know, sunlight kills.
Right.
I'm kind of like Edward.
You're Edward.
Wow.
Okay.
So that sort of shook the foundation on which I walk.
Yeah, but you should still trade in for the 5K with your running coach.
I don't know about that.
Let's get into the stories because as Turdy stated, we have a lot to do today and best not waste time, best to make haste.
Without further ado, here are the fast five stories that you need to know.
Today's episode of Toast Hurstry is brought to you by Clean Simple Eats.
If you're looking for a newest protein powder obsession, cannot recommend Clean Simple Eats enough.
We personally love their protein powder because it's grass-fed.
It has no seed oils or artificial ingredients.
It's third-party tested, non-GMO, and gluten-free.
Each serving has 20 grams of protein.
It's really cream and smoothie, so it's perfect if you want to make a smoothie or if you want to bake it into a recipe.
We've really been on a protein journey and Clean Simple Eats has come in clutch for this journey.
It's really the greatest, most delicious way to get protein every single day, and it's not boring like in a bar.
They have so many different flavors to choose from.
I personally love the vanilla because I'm simple like that.
I don't like to complicate things.
I'm really just sort of the simple individual.
That's what everybody says about me.
They even have protein powder variety packs.
You can try individual servings of multiple flavors.
So in addition to their best-selling protein powders, they also have clear protein powder.
Clear protein is all the hype right now, and Clean Simple Eats has the best one out there.
The pink burst flavor is life-changing.
It tastes like melted pink starburst.
And Clean Simple Eats can't keep it in stock because it's so popular and delicious.
You just mix the clear protein powder with water, and you're going to get a super refreshing and light drink with 20 grams of protein.

our first story a little comedy drama Pete Davidson ditches a Radio City warm-up gig for Matt Reif at the last minute so what Matt Rife is performing a three-night stand at Radio City Music Hall okay on my way here I passed like a billboard to those billboards that get like put on construction sites yeah and it was like congrats Matt Rife six sold out shows so two shows a night for three nights I was that's huge.
Yeah, and Pete Davidson had agreed to open for him, warm up the crowd.
But
they're friends.
Okay.
According to Radio City Insiders, he backed out just two hours before showtime.
Backstage sources at the Rockefeller Center Institution say that Matt Reif's team had to scramble to find a backup and eventually got someone lined up
within a matter of minutes before the curtain went up.
According to a social media post from the show, John Campanelli ended up filling in for Davidson.
Yeah, I mean, I don't think like finding someone new would have been a problem.
Like any comic would be honored to do it.
But
if they sold the tickets being like with special guests, Pete Davidson, you know, it's kind of a letdown.
Oh, did that?
I don't know if they sold it.
I don't know.
But I'm sure he was like really excited.
It's his big night.
The crowd would be so hyped for Pete.
His friend is coming through for him.
And then for two hours before for Pete to cancel, that's a little.
I also think it's like crazy that that Matt Reif got Pete Davidson to do something for him.
Like, I don't know why I think that's crazy.
I feel like Pete Davidson, I would have said,
like, has good friends and is a good friend because he's always, like, they're always showing up for him.
I feel like he has good friendships, but this isn't what a friend does.
And of course, like, because Matt Rife is kind of rife with scandal right now,
your first thought is like, is he disassociating from Matt?
But I don't think that's what it is.
I'm sure it's just something came up.
Comics don't do that.
Comics aren't losers who are like, oh, there's a little bit of like backlash on TikTok.
I should stay away.
like comics don't give a i don't think it has to do with that either i also think yes pete has like a lot of friends but i also think it's like the nature of like comedy like everybody just like supports one another you need your friends in that business or shall i say in this business oh right in our business our business as comedians who run 5ks who are top of the charts comedians we need friends luckily turdy and i have each other that's why we don't know anyone else we no we have burton tom until further notice and you have tanks
i I will always have Tinks.
We actually have a lot of friends, not in the comedy space, but in the influencer space.
Like, we're friendly influencers.
A lot of, because you want to know what it is, like, most comedy podcasters come from the comedy world.
We are comedy podcasters who weirdly came from the influencer world.
Yeah.
So we're just different in that way.
And that's why we're not like other shows.
And we're probably better than everyone else, if I had to guess.
Yeah.
Sounds right.
Speaking of comedy news, something that wasn't a story, but I find to be newsworthy is Shane Gillis hosting.
I've been meaning to talk about it.
I'm so glad you brought that up because I saw it and I sent it to you and I was shook because for anyone who doesn't understand why it's a big deal, the first time I had ever heard of Shane Gillis was many years ago when he was announced as one of the new SNL cast members.
And obviously for any comic, that's like the job of the century and it's like the biggest deal.
Then they had announced that he was the
one of the new cast members.
Of course, you know, the internet did their thing, found some old clips of him saying some unsavory things on a podcast, specifically using a slur.
And he was immediately, you know, the offer was withdrawn.
And I think for like any comic who, you know, gets to SNL, I don't know if there's anything worse.
Like, I don't, I like, I think what happened to Shane Gillis is like so many people's worst nightmare.
Yeah.
It was, it was
to reach the summit, to reach the summit and then follow.
And then have it taken away.
And what was so interesting about what happened to Shane Gillis is that he kind of took, you know, this lemon and made it into lemonade.
And his career really blew up after that.
He just just like pounded the pavement, podcast, podcast, podcast.
He put his, he produced his own comedy special, put it out for free on YouTube.
It blew up so much so that the next time he recorded a special, Netflix bought it and it was like the number one special a few months ago.
It was really popular.
Yeah.
And he kind of made himself someone who's like a little too famous to even be a cast member on SNL.
He's kind of someone who's, you know, the guest host on SNL.
And they did it, which I think is so crazy.
Like, I don't know if I was Shane Gillis, would I be like butthurt and like bitter and not accept?
I don't know.
Not for host to come back in that way.
Like, if they had asked him to be a cast member now, I'm sure he would be like, oh, you can go fuck yourself.
No, and he wakes makes he has a huge podcast.
He's like below us sometimes, but
above us.
Yeah, yeah.
He's makes
the first SNL job.
Like everything that he's doing now is what he was doing before the first SNL job.
And that's why he got the job.
And then he
was taken away from him.
And then he's continued to to just like do Shane, do his podcast, do his comedy.
And as we say, the cream rises.
And now he will be hosting SNL, which is completely full circle and a really crazy thing.
And I absolutely have to watch his monologue just to see how this is like, to me, this is historic.
Like,
I
need to see how they're going to address it.
Like, and they're going to.
I mean, how could they not?
It's really the elephant in the room, but also.
It's so interesting.
I think that when he was, if you watch his special, and I've seen a lot of clips, I think I watched the special, but I also see clips.
He does like an insanely funny and good Trump impression.
And I think that's why he was booked to begin with for that impression.
Because if you think of who they've had play him in the last few years, after Alec Baldwin, or even maybe Alec Baldwin included, it's like not great.
And no, and the guy who they currently have for Trump isn't a cast member.
He just is the Trump guy.
He comes in to do drugs.
He's like not even a good one.
Agreed.
So I'm sure they'll utilize that.
I think they'll have him do that impression, but I think that's why he initially got the job.
It would make sense because when you audition for SNL, you like audition with impressions.
Yeah, no.
And when I read Keenan's book, Natalie's, you know, I'll be bringing up Keenan, it is very impressions-based.
Yeah.
It's like very, it's like old school, like sketch comedy.
It's not
a lot of people who I think try out for SNL, maybe even get on SNL, like, aren't like stand-up comics.
They do this sort of like improv.
They're from like those improv groups.
So
Shane Gillis is very much like a multi-talented comic because he does the impressions, but he also writes like really good stand-up.
I'm fascinated by this.
And of course, people are like up in arms on the internet being like, you know, he's not sorry.
But I think this is like such an interesting life cycle of a cancellation.
And we haven't seen it before.
This, to me, this sets a precedent and I'm beyond interested.
I also just think it's like kind of crazy.
Like to have let him go, like SNL was making a statement.
Yeah.
Like they were, they were making, which was very uncommon.
The comedy world, like they don't do that, you know?
So it was very sort of out of character and bizarre.
But of course, like when the mob comes, like you just buckle, like that's what people do.
So
the fact that they did cancel it was such like a strong move.
And booking him is like a strong move in the total opposite direction.
I find it very confusing.
Yeah.
We'll see how it plays out
and what sort of message they're going to send and what they're going to say about it.
I'm like, I will be tuning in, maybe perhaps even live.
Yeah, I just
want to see my musical guest is 21 Savage.
great great february 24th see you there
oh it's not this weekend no oh who on godscreen diddy dally earth knows where i'm gonna be on february 24th what is this weekend let's see i don't think there is oh because it's also the super bowl yeah there is none and they just kind of make up their own schedule i kind of love like and respect that you know yeah Like maybe we'll do a show.
Maybe we won't.
Maybe it'll be a rewrite.
Yeah.
Maybe not.
They're just like always keeping us on our toes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because we're just waiting with bated breath.
Are you ready for our next story?
Yeah.
Some really lovely news.
40 mega stars have come together for one magnificent image on British Vogue as they say a farewell to Edward Enifel, the editor-in-chief of British Vogue.
Who I didn't even know was leaving.
He's leaving.
The cover of his final magazine is 40 huge stars, one class picture.
They all.
And they're like his girlies.
Like, they're not not random they all had like been on the cover at one point in his career they all signify like the past the present and the future for him uh they all came to new york on the same day for a photo shoot and these are some of like the biggest stars ever it's a really
what it's giving it's giving jenna rink
Yes, 13 going on 30, like the graduation prom scene when they all are like in the park and there's leaves and it's like the best scene on television history.
It is, but those were like regular deglers.
No, and by the way, I'm sure like the vibe on this set was like so toxic and like rude.
They were like eating cupcakes in Jenna Rink's version and there was like, you know, snow in the air.
Well, this one was probably just like
the story they're telling is like, it was just such a beautiful, harmonious day.
So many, I think it was like a mega factory of getting all the girls ready and styled.
And
everyone comes with teams.
I think there were probably so many people there.
They shot it at like a warehouse in the city.
But the final image is beautiful.
I mean, read me some of the names.
I mean, I saw it, but.
Naomi Campbell, Kaya Gerber, and Cindy Crawford.
Oh, I didn't put that together because they weren't seated next to each other.
There are a couple like interesting dynamics where it's like, oh, I placements.
I wonder how these two got along.
Cara Delavine, Miley Cyrus, Victoria Beckham, Oprah,
Serena Williams, Anya Taylor Joy, Carly Clos.
There were some like major randoms in there, Jamila Jamil.
Jamila Jamil, Ariana DeBose.
Yeah, like really random.
Yeah, there were a couple randoms.
I'm sure they like mean something to Edward and Victoria Beckham.
Yeah, I said her.
Love her.
Sorry.
Amber Valley.
I give a lot of love.
Oh, I actually just met Amber Valletta.
Nice lady and very gorgeous in person.
What I wanted to say before I had to be annoying and name drop and now forgot what I was going to say.
Shall I continue?
You know, British Vogue is so, all the vogues, but like British Vogue is really, I feel, highlights like how much like better American Vogue could be doing.
I feel like American Vogue never does anything iconic.
They're always like getting in trouble these days.
Yeah, no, always.
For something or other.
It's like Joe Coy and then Trevor Noah.
It's like it shouldn't be so hard.
Here you have someone who shows you how you can do your job.
No, and it's literally Vogue.
Like do better.
They act like, oh, we, you know, it's hard to get a great cover and to
be on the polls.
But like British Vogue is always showing it up.
I remembered what I was going to say.
Have you been seeing the like pre-commercial Super Bowl commercials for Uber Eats with the Beckhams?
Obsessed.
I thought it was 10 out of 10 perfectly executed.
I loved that they let her wear her Victoria Beckham shirt that she sells.
People are mad.
It's like $100 because it's literally like a piece of merch.
Obsessed.
What did they call her?
Not Jennifer.
Jessica.
Jessica.
It's a funny commercial.
She is.
And I'm sure we get like more commercial at the Super Bowl.
For sure.
Yeah, all all the Super Bowl commercials are rolling out slowly.
I also know that Edward was like a
close friend of Taylor Swift.
So I'm sure she's busy and she just couldn't make it, but it would have been cool if she was in there.
It would have been.
It was in December.
So
she wasn't.
She was free.
She was free.
And it was in New York.
Do you think anyone got this email and like didn't?
Taylor Swift.
You think?
I could see like someone getting this and not realizing how iconic it was going to be and just kind of being like, oh, they wanted me to do some like celebratory thing for British folks.
Right.
I can't make it.
No, but like Oprah's there, you know?
Yeah.
But then when you see the picture, it's like if anybody didn't participate who was invited, like you're.
You know what?
You know who I actually think probably did that?
Madison Beer.
She was supposed to be in the video, but.
Yeah.
I love that reference.
I'm sorry.
Because like that would happen to me.
No, what would happen to me is like to to get an email and like not really register the significance of it and be like, oh,
I don't really want to do that.
And then you see the picture and you're like, I should have done that.
Right.
Things I should have done.
Things I didn't do.
That.
So, yeah, Hugh James, Salma Hayek, Linda Vangelista.
They had a sleepover the night before the article said Salma stayed at Linda's place.
Oh, not all of the women.
No, just these two.
But like, is it why you're saying Salma?
Selma?
Sorry.
Wait, who are we talking talking about?
Selma Hayek.
Oh, sorry.
I thought you were talking about Selma Blair.
Selma Blair's here, too.
Salma.
Sorry.
I wasn't listening to you.
Salma Hayek and who?
Linda Evangelist had a sleepover.
That's weird.
And isn't Salma Hayek married to that guy?
The richest lady.
Yeah, like she stayed at Linda's place in New York.
Like, he can't get a hotel.
Stayed at Linda's dump?
Like, that's a little weird.
For sure.
That's like Elon too.
He's the richest man in the world and whenever he travels, he stays at a friend's place.
And the way that just would never, ever be me.
Like, not in a million years.
Really?
It's a coach surfer.
It's so crazy.
And the way I travel, I act like I have Elon Musk as his finance.
Like, imagine if I actually did.
Yeah.
This would never be me.
You guys know how I feel about that.
Like, rich people, cosplaying as poor people.
I, you know, marry you with paper rings type of things.
Like, no.
Don't.
Yeah.
Don't.
Kate Moss on the cover with Lottie Moss.
Another duo.
Yeah, cute.
It was really beautifully done, and it was 1,000% giving Jen a rank.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And everyone looks great individually and together.
Like, it probably took a lot of styling.
Yeah.
So
great execution.
Bon voyage, Edward.
I didn't even know he was leaving.
Yeah.
Are you ready for our next story?
Yeah.
Podcaster Bobby Altoff calls her estranged husband, Corey, incredible after he files from for divorce from her.
No, I need, and I know people tune into this podcast to hear us explain stuff.
I need someone to explain to me what the hell is going on.
Okay, so Bobby Altoff, for those of you who don't know, she is the one who had that viral podcast interview with Drake.
Her show is called,
she was the girl who like, she was like a mom on TikTok with like a
decently big platform.
She started a podcast and literally, it took over the world.
People thought she was an industry plant.
She had guests like Mark Cuban, Drake.
Like, it was so weird.
It was so random.
It was like overnight.
Overnight.
And then it was gone.
And then there were at the time like rumors about her husband and rumors about like her like sleeping with Drake.
Like it was just so crazy.
And I was like, okay, whatever.
But then now they actually are getting divorced.
So now I'm like, wait, what the fuck?
Yeah, her podcast is called The Really Good Podcast.
And months ago, there were rumors that she like hooked up with Drake after their viral interview or whatever.
She totally denied it and she went on BFF's pod.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That drama with Dave.
But now her nerves were getting divorced.
She posted, as most of you have heard, Corey and I have filed for divorce.
As sad as I am right now, I'm so thankful for the time I got to be his wife.
Our girls are so lucky to have him as a father, and I'm so lucky to be able to co-parent with such an incredible father in person.
Now, I don't know anything, and I'm not saying that she cheated on her man, but if she did, this would be the type of caption you would write when you're really sorry.
You know, it's like a really nice caption.
Yeah, like I fucked up.
He's good.
Amazing, perfect man, perfect husband.
Anyone's lucky to have him.
Like, all right, calm down.
Don't be mad at me, please.
Right, like S-R-Y.
Because when you write that, when you feel this way about someone, like you would write these nice things about them, like you should be married to them.
Right.
And why aren't we?
You're a great man, you're a great parent.
Like, okay, so stay married.
Totally random.
Totally, like, random sidebar.
So, you know, Toby Keith, the
country singer, he passed away from stomach cancer.
So sad.
I,
and I'm sure he was just, you know, like really upset about it, but like Luke Holmes posted on his story like rip Toby.
Just that
like legend or something, but it was like it was really short.
And what was a picture of?
Nothing, just black.
Black rip Toby.
Yeah, it was all caps, R, capital I, capital P, not, so it was more like rip Toby, not rip Toby, which is better.
It's still a rip.
I know.
And I think, you know, Luke was probably just like acting out of grief.
And I can't be mad, but like, I just, I wanted to note that our king, our king ripped.
You wanted to rip him a new one?
No, I didn't.
Also,
should we talk about the backlash?
We didn't do Toby Keith.
We got a lot of backlash for not choosing Toby Keith as a story because we're big country music fans.
And Jackie and I have said this repeatedly, and we actually spoke about it offline.
Like, I, we, unless it's like, you know, Queen Elizabeth dying, like, I really don't, like, like talking about death as a story.
It's like not interesting conversation because what else are we going to say?
Like, oh, we're happy someone died?
No, like, we're gonna say, Rip,
yeah, no, especially when it's not like um, a shock, like
there's some that are stories because it's like, oh my gosh, but you know, when it's just like rest in peace, great talent, legend, and it's not someone that we've really spoken about, there's not that much to say, that's why it wasn't a story.
But we have the utmost respect for Toby Keith, and we hope that he Alan Jackson as well.
We hope that he rests in peace, legend, icon,
like
I pick you up.
Let's have a party.
Thanks for clearing that up.
It's not a big conspiracy, you guys.
Like, we just didn't choose a story.
Yeah, because it's just,
I'm not going to say what I was going to say.
It would have been a pun.
Oh.
That wasn't.
Like, it wasn't intentionally be a pun, but it would sound like a pun.
You know what I mean?
So good you caught it.
So good I caught it.
Are you ready for our next story?
No, I kind of love the name Toby.
For
people.
Girl or boy?
Boy.
Okay.
Toby soffer.
Wait.
Kind of love.
It's cute.
It is, right?
I feel like Toby is always a kid, like a grown Toby.
I also do feel like for a man, like, I don't know if I've ever like met like a Toby who was in really good shape.
Like Toby is a fat boy's name, like 1,000%.
It's one letter away from Toby.
Also?
Because
it sounds and looks like Tuba, which is like this huge instrument.
That's what I thought of.
Oh, I think of Tubby.
Yeah, Tubby.
No, for sure.
Maybe it's like a curse of a name, especially with my jeans and Ben's jeans.
Never mind.
But maybe he was meant to be a Toby.
I don't know.
I just kind of like the name.
I also like the name Keith, by the way.
People with last names that are first names.
Firsty, lastie.
That's not a firsty lastie.
Okay, there is a lot of controversy and conversation about what a firstie lastie is.
Some people think a firstie lastie is someone who has a first name for a first and last name.
Like Toby Keith is a first name, a firsty lastie because...
No, we don't think that.
But then other people say that being a firstie lastie means like you're the type of person who you can't just say Jackie.
Like it's Jackie Ashra.
You have to say the first and the last lastie.
I'm not a firstie lastie.
No, no, but I was using you as like an example.
Who's an example of a firstie lastie?
Like, honestly, like Drew Barrymore, like no one would say Drew.
Right, except her show is like, oh no, it's a Drew Barrymore show.
Right, because she's a firstie lastie.
Yeah, that's a firstie lastie.
Shout off in the comments.
What do you think a first E Lastie is?
Or have you never heard that phrase before?
Is that an Australian family thing?
No, I feel like it's from the clickbooks.
It's giving clickbooks.
It's giving idiotic clickbooks.
And so I feel like we can determine what the definition is.
It's in writing.
It's in the text.
It's in the scripture.
We can go to the source.
Should we reread the clickbooks?
No, I think it would just like make us like
feel really like old and be like, what were we reading?
You're like, no wonder, like, I was such a nasty little child.
Like, I was reading the clickbooks.
Like, and who did I idolize in the clickbooks?
Like, the meanest cunt of all.
Of course.
She was the best.
She was like the prettiest, the richest.
Like, of course, we're just
stylish, like, trendsetter.
Massey's What is Massey doing this weekend?
Oh, can we get invited to Massey's BBQ?
You know,
she had her in-and-out list.
She was doing it before 2024.
Right.
Like, no wonder, like, girls our age, like, we, we grew up, like, watching mean girls and reading the clicks.
Like, no wonder we're nasty, nasty women.
The books, too.
That's what we read.
A thousand percent.
Yeah.
Now are you ready for our next story?
What number is it?
It's number four.
So New York City was blessed with a rare sister sighting on Tuesday, and it wasn't us.
Me and you?
No.
Okay.
It was the Olson sisters.
Ashley, Mary Kate, and Elizabeth stepped out for a sister's night out as photographers captured the trio strolling the streets while braving the chilly weather.
Oh, I need to see these photos.
I can't believe.
I always forget that third one's related to that.
I know.
And I just feel like they must be distant because we don't see them together, but they're not.
And they are together.
And they literally name their clothing line after her, Elizabeth and James.
Oh my God.
By the way, seeing them all together is so crazy because Elizabeth also does that like smile.
They're twins, literally.
Can you tell Mary, Kate, and Ashley apart?
Yes.
Can you?
No.
Also, did you know that Ashley welcomed a baby secretly last year?
No.
A baby boy named Otto.
Wow, seeing them all three just like being regular girls walking around.
And now this article has photos of them like together throughout the years there aren't a lot it's the craziest thing also how that elizabeth the youngest one like towers over them she's a giant she's not a giant she's probably like margo's height and they're our height
i just like love them love like and they're so sisterly done
is so impressive i feel like not enough people talk about the row enough as it pertains to mary kate and ashley people know the row is like this like you know amazing fashion house but like i think a lot of people don't even put together that it's mary categories and ashley we just need like more from them and i know they don't want to give us anything but like just something please a documentary, a memoir.
Like, we need you.
The culture needs you.
I guess they're giving us clothes and they like constantly
inspire the generation and are leading by example with their fashion statements, but we still need more.
I don't know if I want a memoir.
Really?
Like, I'm trying to think format-wise.
I mean, if they did do a memoir, first of all, we need a title.
Second of all, would it be one book?
Right.
I feel like they're 37 years old, like they want their own book.
Yeah.
It's like so crazy.
They're only 37.
wait is it wait they're 37 yeah
how on god's green diddly dally earth does that make sense like
which part they're too old or too young
too old not that they're too old like they were always like a couple years older than us
No, no, I feel like when we were like watching Full House and stuff, they were like younger than us.
No, when we were watching like their teen movies, they were like older.
A few years older.
No, you're right.
You're right.
Like New York Minute, we were like in the eighth grade and they were like in high school.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
That's fair.
Yeah.
And then, and I love that sister.
How old is Elizabeth?
Oh, she's 34.
And what about James?
Brother.
Like, what about him?
What does he do?
I think he does brother Tings.
I think he does
brother for sale.
I think they sold him 25 cents.
Brother for sale.
He's not a a big excuse.
Checking
Jackie.
Wow, there's a lot of siblings.
There's Mary Kiden Ashley and Elizabeth.
There is Jake
Courtney.
Trent.
Courtney?
Chaggie, Chaggie.
Wait.
I don't see
James.
Oh, Jake.
I guess that would be his birth name.
Courtney.
Who is Courtney?
Courtney Taylor Olson is an American actress.
She is popularly known as the half-sister of the Olson sisters, Elizabeth and Mary Kate.
Courtney.
Elizabeth is an actress.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Courtney.
Half.
Okay.
So
there's also Trent.
Must be another half if he didn't get named on the label.
Sorry.
Older brother, no.
He has played himself in a few of his sisters' video series.
He's brother for sale, I guess.
Brother for sale, only 50 cents.
What a tangled web that these siblings need.
Now I'm getting parents.
These parents who had like six children, two of them being such successful child starters.
So the dad, David, and the stepmom.
So there are five children, some step, I believe.
Cool.
Yeah, this is very, very interesting.
Like I said, documentary memoirs of an Olson.
And when the Olsons got their Hollywood Walk of Fame star,
they brought all their siblings.
I'm like on this Giddy image to search right now.
Very interesting.
So they had an SNO last night.
I love that.
I wonder where they went.
We need a little.
I was going to say, where did they go?
SNO In SPO.
Right, because where they would go, like we would would go.
That's probably a good place that's good for sisters and would foster like sisterly dialogue, sisterly love,
sisterly closeness,
love.
So we'll have to make a reservation.
Our fifth and final story, a little
Disney news, because Moana 2 is set at Disney with a surprise 2024 release date.
The line where the sky meets the sea is calling Moana once again.
Disney announced the sequel to Moana will be released theatrically on November 27th.
That's very exciting.
The second Moana was originally developed as a TV series, but became a feature film because Bob Iger was impressed with the footage.
So Moana 2 comes to theaters this November.
Also, Moana is getting like the live action treatment.
So there's just like a lot going on in the world of Moana.
And let me tell you another part of this story that I find so interesting.
I feel like I told you this story.
Do you remember?
I think it was during COVID when those two girls on TikTok, one of them is like a pop star, singer-songwriter, the other is like this musical composer.
They started making all these videos.
Like, what if Bridgerton wasn't musical?
And they ended up writing a whole album that got like millions of streams.
They got nominated for a Grammy and won.
It was like this amazing thing that happened on TikTok.
They have been tapped to write the music for Moana 2.
Oh, that's so great.
Which does mean Lynn Manuel Miranda's out of a job, which people are both celebrating, but also being like, but he did slap the first time.
Yeah, I feel two ways because obviously, like, I don't ever want someone to not have a job, but Lynn Manuel has many, so let's open up the field to other people.
But he, as much as we clown on Lynn, like, he's responsible for so many hits, hit after hit.
And like, how far I'll go and yad welcome.
I mean, if not for Lynn Manuel, we wouldn't have Yad Welcome.
Like, we love to joke.
Except Yad Welcome.
Yad welcome.
We love to joke, but like at the end of the day, like we always say, the cream rises.
And that shit, that soundtrack from Moana One, like, was that bitch?
Like, it was top tier.
Lynn is the cream, question mark.
Lynn is the cream exclamation point.
Lynn is cream, period.
That's kind of like something for me to wrap my head around.
Like, I don't appreciate Lynn Manuel in his time.
No, and it's because, like, his personality gets in the way of his talent.
Yeah, but I feel a lot of people.
But again, is that even true?
Do we even know him?
Yeah, Lynn is appreciated in his time.
Like, everyone is obsessed with him.
He gets every job that's remotely Lynn-like.
Lynn is a multi-multi-millionaire.
Like, Lynn is hashtag Lynn is fine.
Yeah, but this is a lot of pressure for those girls because, one, a sequel is a lot of pressure.
Even if Lynn were doing it, he has to out Lynn the Lynn.
Disney has a very high bar.
But like, if these songs, like, what, oh, no, I just got confused for a second, but still, how far I'll go,
major.
Yeah.
But I like, I find, I follow, have followed these, like, these two girls' stories just because I thought it was so cool that they won a Grammy.
And I feel like they literally could win an Oscar now now or like a Golden Globe.
Like they could be Egots and they're just, you know, two girls.
Two girls, Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear.
Yeah.
And
they're like a writing duo, Barlow and Bear.
It's giving like Passek and Paul, you know?
Pasick and Paul.
Like it's giving iconic writing duo.
Yeah.
I'd rather see Pasick and Paul out there shaking that thing.
I wouldn't mind it.
I love me some Passek and Paul.
Me too.
Except what's crazy is Pasick and Paul did La La Land.
Mm-hmm.
And I don't give a rip about La La Land.
I didn't like La La Land.
Maybe I should probably like watch it again.
But I would probably still not give a rip.
I just don't give a rip.
No, I know.
And when people think Pasic and Paul, they think La La Land.
We think Pasic and Paul, greatest showman.
Or Evan Hansen.
Yeah.
Huh, La La Land.
That's like
I feel like that's like a glitch in my matrix.
It's like something I should like that I don't like.
There's a couple things like that.
That's such a good point.
It's such a good point.
Yeah.
I guess I just can't be pinned down.
You can't put me in a box.
Well, that's for damn sure.
You can't like make a movie for me and expect me to like it.
You just know.

Ready?

Good morning to the wonderful, stunning turdy and the beautiful wives, Jackieo.
I am writing in because I am having a predicament.
My hilarious husband has recently started doing stand-up comedy and is starting to climb the comedy ladder where we live.
When he first started doing comedy, I told him that I didn't want him to joke about me during his sets because I didn't want to feel disrespected.
Now he's getting invited to host shows and when I go to his shows that feature other comics, I've noticed that every single comic but my husband tirelessly jokes about their wives, significant others during their sets.
Am I being an insecure loser?
Should I just let him joke about me to help his comedy career?
Turdy, have you had this combo with Ben?
Help.
That's such a great question and an interesting predicament.
And I feel like you're being very self-aware, but I think the boundary that you set is really nice.
And if I were you, I wouldn't reconsider it unless he comes to you and says, like, listen, I have this joke and having this boundary is like holding me back a little bit or having him, you approve a joke.
I would just like wait till he mentions it.
But if he's having success not joking about his relationship, I think that's like really respectable and totally fine.
That's so funny.
I was going to say something different, even though like I do agree with you.
The thing thing is, is like, I do feel like it's most likely limiting his
potential because so much of comedy is like about your own life.
And if obviously you're married, like, a huge part of your life is your marriage and there's so much comedy.
It's not to be a better comedian because if everybody's making relationship jokes and like he has to think outside of that box, like he might eventually be like one of a kind in making different kinds of jokes.
It's possible.
I guess I wouldn't, you know, say anything unless he says something.
Yeah.
And it's very sweet that he hasn't.
I never ran it by Ben, but I also know there's a line.
Like I'm not looking to be out here embarrassing my husband.
Like I want to do a show that's like relatable and funny and that people can relate to, but also like I have a norm, I'm not the type of person who they have respect for my husband.
So as long as your partner loves you and has respect for you, they really,
they won't say something awful, you know?
Yeah.
Even in the name of a joke.
Yeah.
I think that if it's weighing on you, you could ask him and be like, hey, is this kind of holding you back?
Do you ever wish that you could make these jokes and you guys could have a conversation about it?
You don't even have to like wait for him to bring it up because maybe he doesn't bring it up because he knows that you would say no.
So I think you should broach the subject and ask him, see how he feels about it.
And if this is something he's been feeling like, oh, I have these jokes, like maybe you guys could start somewhere where like he just like runs them by you and not forever, but just to get you comfortable with it.
I think that like, I,
I think it's awesome that he's gotten so far while respecting your boundaries, but if you're starting to feel like you're holding him back, then just ask him about it.
I think this is nice.
Yeah, you both sound like normal, level-headed people who can have a conversation, which is amazing.
Isn't always the case with your toasters.
Or comedians.
Facts.
Was that a Burt Kreischer dig?
No, I'm kidding.
All right, ready for our next one?
Yeah.
Hey, Jackson Turd, this one sounds like a novel, like a thriller.
My maternal grandmother called me yesterday for a very casual conversation, but towards the end, she mentioned that she and my grandfather were going to get their will made later this week.
She explained that their cumulative assets total over $4 million
and that the inheritance would be split between my younger sibling and I.
This was completely unexpected.
She told me not to tell anyone besides my boyfriend.
I know this will be so awkward when the time comes and my mom finds out.
Both she and my dad will be shocked and hurt.
She encouraged me to be transparent with my boyfriend.
We've been together for over five years, lived together, and plan to get engaged within the year.
Can I make him promise not to tell anyone?
I don't really want his family to know.
What do I tell?
Who do I tell?
What do I buy?
Do I need a lawyer?
This is so weird.
Grammy's causing drama.
Not even the fact that she wants to give it to you guys, which is, you know, her right to do, but that she wants you to tell your boyfriend, doesn't want you to tell your mom.
Like, why is she playing games this Grammy?
Whatever you do, do not tell your boyfriend.
Like, sorry, I, like, to me, we'll get into your mom in a second because that's fucking awkward.
And, like, you'll have to figure out whatever, but, like, literally don't tell your boyfriend.
Like, I think you can, like, keep this close to the desk.
I don't think you need a lawyer, yeah.
And
even if she wants to leave the money to you, why is she telling you now and causing drama between you and your mom?
Like, Granny's causing trouble.
It would have been better for her to just like, you know, when the time comes, like, pass away and then, like, mic drop with the, with the reading of the will.
Very, you know, very gossip girl.
But she's like, but putting this thing between you and your mom, by one, the inheritance and two, like, the secret of it.
What's Granny up to?
Yeah.
And also, like, is your mom like waiting on this money?
Like,
yeah.
I just,
I like to respect yacht elders.
And typically, if there's a grandma, like, in a deer toasters, I'm always gonna
take Granny's side.
But, like,
what's Granny got up her sleeve?
Yeah, there was kind of no reason for her to drop this bomb.
Like, it should have been posthumously.
Also, why?
She's only doing her will now.
People have wills like throughout their lives.
Yeah, maybe she's rejiggering it because she's like having an argument with her daughter and she's like trying to get you on her side by giving you two mil.
Right, right, right.
Granny is being petty.
Do not tell your boyfriend.
Like, I feel like that's the more important
conversation.
That's so let it be like a nice thing once you guys get married.
Like then you really can share.
But like this is private and boyfriends, I'm sorry.
They come and go.
By the way.
They've been together for five years.
Yada yada.
No.
The money isn't yours yet, even.
So there's nothing to say.
She could blow it all before she goes.
She does sound also like a little bit like a reckless kind of woman.
Reckless Granny.
Maybe she changed her mind.
She's giving reckless Granny.
I wouldn't count this money as your own just yet.
It's so true.
Maybe just sit quiet.
And it's nice.
I guess the only person you can really talk to is your sister.
Yeah.
So
kind of the
sister.
I wonder if Granny told her something different.
I think Granny's playing games.
Or did Granny not even tell the other sister?
It's giving like
what's that movie?
yes
it's giving knives out like everyone thinks they are getting the inheritance
oh my god and granny wants to see what they all do keep it to yourself someone's gonna kill granny
don't play this game i wouldn't get caught up in it i agree it's a trap it's a trap go about your life as if granny never told you because you're not getting that money i'm sorry to tell you yeah It's giving diabolical granny.
It's giving diabolical granny.
our third and final deer toasters is looking for a little bit more of um like tactical advice okay i love tactical i like like i think we can actually give this girl a good plan advice i've heard this actionable i've heard this marriage tip recently that when like uh your partner is complaining that you should say do you want comfort or do you want solutions and i feel like that's what you would say to like a kid no no it's like when you're complaining about show me wait I love that.
Right.
When you're complaining about something, like, do you want me to actually tell you, like, help you or just like commiserate with you?
Oh, my God.
That happened to me the other day.
Like, I,
oh my God, Ben was, oh my God, because I go straight for solutions.
I'm solution-oriented, which is why I like this deer toasters.
That's why I brought this up.
But it's a great question to ask: do you want comfort or you want solutions?
Oh my God, because no, Ben was coming at me with solutions, and it felt like an attack.
Like, like I, like, I was doing something wrong, and that's why I was in this position.
And honestly, like, I got so bad at him, and I was so wrong, and I took my anger out on him because I was angry about something else.
Oh, my God, I love that.
Can you like text that to Ben?
Yeah, oh, he, I, I was thinking like, I need it.
That's so funny.
I think Ben and I are really similar.
Are we?
Yeah.
But then Ben definitely like takes on in terms of like emotions, like sometimes a little bit more of like the traditionally feminine role.
Like
it's very emotional.
No, I'm not emotional.
Like if any.
You're not, yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Anyways, I just thought it was.
It was good because also when you just want comfort, you don't want solutions, my friend.
No, no, and it's like, stop.
And I'm always.
Yeah.
And it also forces a person who's struggling to be like, what do I want?
You know, to
be like, huh, that's a good question.
It's good.
Marriage tip of the day.
So speaking of actionable advice.
I am a 30-something mother of two, and since having children, I feel as if my vocabulary is embarrassing and limited.
I find myself struggling for simple words and synonyms in my workplace.
I was an advertising and marketing major in college, and my written communication far exceeds my verbal, mostly because I have time to compose my words.
I'm worried when I actually meet people for work, they think I am dumb.
You both have such a colorful spoken vocabulary.
Would you attribute it to being avid readers or something else?
Please help.
Please be the sharehorrow.
It's to my tie.
I hope it's not sporadically.
That is such a good question.
I just have to say, if I didn't do this podcast every day, that would be me.
Like my, your brain, it's so easy for your brain to become mush.
Like you're talking baby talk all day, like one word, and you're trying to find the simplest word.
for what you're trying to convey to your child.
So it's totally normal and natural.
Literally doing the show like forces me to exercise my brain, which I'm grateful for, but I do find it harder these days than it used to be for me to like reach for words.
What was the word the other day I couldn't find?
Recreationally.
Yeah.
So this is so real.
And I do feel like I have a very colorful vocabulary, but it's because I practice every single day by doing this show.
So I don't know if it's enough for you to just listen to shows like this or other shows where there's a lot of colorful language because maybe you can absorb some of it.
But
reading, of course.
Right, no, but she really said, like, she has, it's not so much her like knowledge because she's like, I can write really well.
Like, she has the words.
She has a hard time bringing them brain-mouth, you know, like connecting your brain to your mouth.
And I feel like it kind of sounds like she needs Brain Camp.
Yeah, but what is Brain Camp?
In text?
I don't know.
What is Brain Camp?
I mean, there are like a bunch of apps and games.
Like, I play this game.
It's a board game.
It's called Anemia.
And anemia, like, the definition of that word is like when you, when you can't think of, like, you know the word, but you can't say it.
It's like the brain-mouth connection.
It's actually a really fun game, but I also think it's actually like a challenge that would perhaps put you on the spot.
So a board game.
Yeah, a board game.
Also, I think maybe even just calling a friend, having more adult conversations, maybe a friend who's like your funny, lively friend, and it's just going to be like an upbeat conversation.
That can help you just like exercise your mouth.
You can practice, because when I go back and listen to like old episodes of The Toast, my God, I sound so stupid.
I say sentences like filled with nothing, like, um, yeah, totally.
And I'm still not great, but I say much more substance in sentences now.
Yeah.
It's a skill that you have to like fine-tune.
And when you spend so much time talking to children, of course.
Of course.
It's so natural.
But yeah, trying to find more time for adult conversation.
Maybe a word of the day.
I've never really stuck to a word of the day, but the few times I've done it, like I've gotten something out of it.
But I don't know really where I get my new words from.
We were having this conversation when I did Shannon's podcast.
She was asking about my vocabulary.
Like, how do I have such a big, vast, colorful vocabulary?
And I do not know the answer.
Reading definitely helps.
But I've had it since before reading.
No, but the thing for me is like I have to see and interact with a word like 10 times before I start to even want to know what it means.
Like mercurial is a new word of mine.
And it's because it was in illicit affairs by Taylor Swift.
And like, I was like, okay, that's a word.
I just learned that word.
Then it started showing up in books a lot.
And I'm like, Kindle, I would highlight it, look at the definition.
It means like sort of like unpredictable, mysterious, if you will.
And words like that.
I learned words so randomly.
Like, even one of my favorite words, acrimonious,
I learned from friends.
So I just pick up words randomly, but it takes a lot for a word to stick with me.
Yeah.
Unless you start using it all the time.
Because then we share, we word share.
Yeah.
Nefarious, of course.
Elk.
Classic.
That's a big one.
Big.
Low-key.
No, but don't feel bad about this.
And it'll come back.
It comes and goes.
It's hard.
It's a total life change.
And also, it's physical and mental.
Like you literally,
it happens whether or not you start talking baby talk.
And it also happens because you start talking baby talk.
So go easy on yourself, girly swirly.
Go ahead.
That's our show.
And tomorrow will be our last one of the week.
And then next week, when we are back, Jackie and I will be together podcasting.
So
exciting fun times.
I realize that next week is a short week because it's President's Day
on Monday.
That's not next week.
That's the week after next.
President's Day isn't like after the Super Bowl.
It's the following week.
True.
Sorry.
True.
And of course, you know, let's give everyone fair warning.
We will be taking off President's Day.
Of course, we respect the presidents.
I mean, God bless
America,
you know?
Land
that I love.
You know?
I stand beside her.
Yeah.
And guide her
through the
night from above.
Yes.
I love that song.
They're all bops.
Also, like this land is your land i love
all of those songs of the american elk the elk yeah the stars bangle banner like like the betsy ross vibes hits the hits start coming and they don't stop coming and like chilling no and it's like they were written a couple hundred years ago and they still slay the house down boots a song that i put in that category that's like kind of not and it's modern and like it has no semblance, but I just consider them all the same type of song is,
and I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free.
Yeah, Lee Greenwood slayed the house down boots.
Also, like, this land is your land,
this land is my land.
That's right, from California
to the New York Islands,
from the Redwood Forest
to the Gulf Stream waters.
This land was made for you and me.
With that,
and you and you.
