A Referendum on Ick Culture: Wednesday, March 27th, 2024

Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the toast and happy Wednesday that like yesterday I would have really appreciated, but right now it feels like it should be Thursday, you know?

Yeah, I won't argue with that.

Yeah, like I feel angry and I feel misled and I feel hoodwinked, actually.

So you're feeling like it should be a Thursday.

Maybe what if we just pretended it was Thursday?

I'm all about like actually living in delusional fairyland.

I think people, I'm actually jealous when I see like really dumb delusional people because they frustrate me, but I'm jealous that they're probably happier than I am.

I'm like, what if we just told ourselves it's Thursday?

Bear with me.

Told ourselves it's Thursday.

And then like tomorrow it will be Thursday and then we're like, hey, it's Thursday.

We get to do it all over again.

No, but if today, like all day, I thought it was Thursday, I would expect tomorrow to be Friday.

And if it wasn't, I'd be fucking pissed.

Okay.

I didn't mean to start out the show like on such a negative note.

I just felt like yesterday when we sat here, I had a realization that, you know, the next time I'd be doing the show, it was Wednesday.

And like, I'd be halfway through.

I had such a busy day like yesterday felt like two days and today two days shout out in the comments should today be thursday yes or no

you know why it's because we did a podcast episode last night so like that felt like wednesday thus making today thursday but speaking of which we did a patreon episode last night for our patreon and it was an episode of the toast because we felt like there were so many stories this week that some of the stories that would have been chosen weren't chosen like the jv squad so we did another episode of toast and that's available for you to listen to on the patreon right now but that's why we feel like yesterday was two days we picked those stories up off the cutting room floor and let me tell you they needed to be spoken about they did and needed to be broken down i feel like actually after yesterday's episode on the toast like i learned like it's this kind of thread that's been happening to me so on yesterday's episode we talked extensively about taylor and travis's trip to the bahamas and i was telling jackie that there's this hilarious and cute video uh somebody took on the property of taylor and travis like getting on this swing that's like it's like a hanging from a tree and it's above the ocean and they get on it and they fall and it's so cute.

The video went viral and apparently it's not them.

And I really can't live anymore like in this age of misinformation.

I'm, and I'm like a really smart internet user.

I'm not an idiot.

You know, I'm not, I see people, literally there was like this clearly AI fake TMZ article being shared, not even from TMZ, saying Josh Peck's wife is leaving him because she found out he took hush money from Dan Schneider.

Like so absurdly stupid.

And somebody had the nerve to send it to me and be like, is this real?

Are you real?

Like, you're actually dumb.

And so I'm not dumb.

I'm actually really smart.

And I feel like I'm kind of a sort of jaded internet user.

And I constantly find myself being hoodwinked online.

And it's, it makes me think for the people who aren't as smart and internet friendly as me, I'm getting hoodwinked every day.

Yeah, I shudder for them, but I also think

you are online a lot.

Okay, I didn't.

I didn't intend for this conversation.

referendum.

I did not intend for this conversation to become a referendum on my internet usage.

Yes.

But I think that you see everything that's online and you've kind of cycled through so much, they start showing you fake shit.

So you say, I'm too good at my job.

My job is to know what's going on.

No, but now you're muddying, now you're reporting fake news.

No, I know.

It happens to me a lot.

People are always like, Turdy, that's not real.

And thankfully, it's nothing like monumental, you know, it's Taylor and Travis in the Bahamas.

But I.

Now I want to see the video.

So it's other people.

It was a very cute video of two people.

Well, I'm happy for those people that they had a cute, sweet time.

I just, I think honestly, like the AI, like I,

I get hoodwinked all the time and I'm not stupid.

And it's like these things like the Pope.

Okay, I always use this example and it's meaningless, but the Pope wearing the puffer jacket.

Remember, that was like the first AI piece of content that was created by AI that like went super viral and it was like so funny.

And these things go viral like the Taylor and Travis video.

And then the fact that they're not true don't go viral as much as the video did.

Yeah, but also at the moment, all those things are pretty harmless.

Yes.

But one day it will be harmful, full of harm.

I mean, we were even saying this yesterday about the P.

Diddy situation.

Like when I was on Twitter, like there were so many random things being said.

I'm like, that's actually harmful.

It's serious.

Yeah, but that's different.

Like theories are different than like manipulation of assets and passing something off as true.

That's not.

Like someone saying, I think this, you're allowed to think whatever you want.

Yes, yes, yes.

But like fake headlines and stuff, I can't do it anymore.

Like, I am feeling dumb and I'm not.

I went to college, which means nothing, but I did.

I think

you're not gonna like what I have to say.

So I'm not gonna say it.

What are you gonna say?

But I already said it, but I already, I've already said it.

I need to stop it.

You know, to touch grass.

Scale back.

Yeah.

Touch grass.

I agree.

I like that phrase.

I love that phrase because nothing will humble a mentally ill internet user more than telling them to seriously like, go to sleep.

Go to sleep.

Step outside.

Touch grass.

Yeah.

Okay, so that's one lesson today.

Hopefully today's episode will be full of lessons, life lessons.

Oh, but it's important that you touch grass after you finish listening to the episode of the test.

Oh, yeah, no, no.

Stay online to listen to our podcast and follow our social media accounts.

Follow our social.

What are you, 90?

Like, don't forget to like us on Facebook.

And subscribe wherever you listen.

You know, I'm drinking touch grass.

This protein shake that I love, but it's like got a hole in the bottom.

There's protein shake all over my sweater.

There's a song for that.

There's a hole in the bottom.

Drinking on

the bottom.

Still applies.

Still applies.

Oh, and I've been getting a lot of outreach, like a lot of community outreach, people wanting updates like.

on my Weight Watchers journey.

Yeah, I lost a pound.

And I talked a lot about it on our Patreon episode last night.

So I'm not going to, you know, double dip.

So if you're interested, it's in that episode.

It's all there.

All said to say, like, I'm loving life on, sorry, WW.

Do you see last night?

It's funny that WW is meant to be a shortened version of Weight Watchers, yet it's actually kind of more syllables.

And I do think as a company, WW

Weight Watchers.

I do think as a company, they also backtracked on that rebrand.

I think they're okay being called Weight Watchers now.

Wait, that's so funny.

WW is six syllables and Weight Watchers is two to three.

It's impossible.

WW never caught on because it's literally a tongue twister.

And then of course you want to add the third w no and something about like weight watchers it's so like

you know it's like

www dot all of a sudden you got the dot right right what were you gonna say

i was gonna say that last night i sent you a www creator i was very interested that shared ww tips for ww girls see it's a tongue twister it's giving world jur I sent you a Weight Watchers creator who posts Weight Watchers tips for Weight Watchers girls.

Yeah, I appreciated that.

I need to dive deep.

I said, I kind of feel like I don't have a community.

The Toasters group for Weight Watchers, which has like 5,000 people in it, is like inactive.

Like nobody posts in it.

Can we bring that group back?

Maybe that you need to post.

I need tips and tricks from the girlies.

Like, I'm just loving it.

I just did.

That was me.

Bring the group back.

That was me calling it out.

Oh, no, no.

Post in the group.

Yeah.

Get that algorithm moving.

Because there is like a

open to the public group.

I think Weight Watchers like started it.

There's like millions of people in there.

And it's just like, it's a bunch of grandmas and I love them.

But like their problems are not my problems you know sure like i need the girlies to be like how are we cocktailing like i need you know yeah yeah yeah well i saw this creator was having some applesauce with cinnamon for zero points does that sound of interest to you i happen to love applesauce but good tracks like baby food yeah motto right like i don't have to go get organic i think motts count because i had some crap organic shit i think at your house it was not the same When did you have applesauce at my house?

Maybe it was like Rosh Hashanah or no, Hanukkah.

yeah i make my own applesauce exactly it's just apples that's why it's zero points i want the chemicals for motts

might not be zero points if it has added sugar right that's why i asked mots is so good to me like mots smuckers those like kid like i love those brands yeah

they're delicious who doesn't nobody they're filled with good stuff oh my god Do we have any food news today?

No.

Okay, there's like big food news.

I don't know if you, people are really upset at Chick-fil-A.

Oh, I didn't see, but I'm already at six stories whittling down to five during the ad break.

So feel free to share it now.

Yeah, well, I was going to say, you know, part of their, they made a pledge in 2014 that all of their chicken, which is like their number one sold item, is going to be antibiotic.

Antibiotic-free.

As of like yesterday, they're like NVM antibiotics in.

Yeah, they're bringing back antibiotics.

Did they say why?

Big pharma.

I'm okay.

I don't know.

I have to assume it has something to do with their business model.

Like maybe they can't get access.

Or the chickens were sick.

Maybe they like can't get access to like that much antibiotic-free chicken anymore.

I don't know.

It's giving supply chain.

Yeah.

It's poisoning the food is what it's giving.

Yeah, no, they want to, like, it's there's like giving, poisoning the food and then yelling at us for being fat.

Yeah, no,

that's food in America like is disgusting.

Everybody knows that.

That's why people go to Europe and eat pasta for a week and end up losing weight because their food is real and ours is fraudulent.

And this is just another like part of that.

Yeah, fraudulent food.

That's why, no wonder why people are growing their own like veggies and chickens, chickens like for real she's seen the light no i get it i'm too lazy but i get it and i just

saw the light inside so shine right

i do want to say like i know the light and i want to eat the light like i love all of our chemically like disgusting foods i really do

just wait you guys on turdies like you know the the wheel of turdy She moves slowly.

She moves slow.

By the way, the wheels of turdy move slow.

What's that thing about Justice?

They move slow, but they grind just fine.

Literally.

Yeah, no, like she's here on the journey.

She's on her health journey, too.

Like, she's a hop, skip, and a jump from chickens.

Don't worry.

Yeah, I'll keep them on my terrace.

For itching for chickens.

Totally.

Romeo would love chickens.

You're going to have one of those like lettuce growers soon.

Let us grow, I think it's called.

That's so funny.

Ben was actually just talking about starting like some sort of growing his own herbs because he's been cooking so much on our, on our balcony that we don't know what we're going to do with yet.

And I was like, Uh, no, you're not, but you can get one of those white tall tower things.

Is that let us grow?

Yeah, something like that.

Yeah, I'm like, you can do that, even though, like, I know he'll just, it's another thing he'll start and not finish.

And I'm not in the mood to pick up the pieces, honestly.

It's so true.

I know Shannon just got one.

We were supposed to be sisters in gardening, but then she went that route.

Yeah.

And that's not the route I see for myself.

Oh, you're kind of calling her out for being like a fraudulent gardener and you want to be like real, like, hands in the dirt.

Well, first of all, I can't call her out for being a fraudulent gardener.

I've not done shit for gardening.

So, like, Olivia has.

At least she's taking steps and making change and she thoroughly researched it.

I support her, but I just like don't want that.

That's not what I see for myself.

I, there is like a perfect part of your backyard that's like made for a garden.

Ready to be as a garden.

It's just sort of like secluded patch of dirt.

That I, I have set aside and not done anything with because I know that one day it will be something and it will be a garden, a cold plunge.

And every day I'm getting closer to breaking ground on that, honestly.

I love that for you.

Yeah.

so I'm so Hubermeister approved.

Oh my God.

Speaking of Huberman, so

I would love to do it.

I would literally love to.

We would love to.

So you said yesterday that Hubert tip was to wait 10 minutes after you woke up to drink your coffee, which I said made no fucking sense.

But then someone in the comments clarified to wait 90 minutes is what he's saying.

Oh, somebody, I saw somebody in the comments say an hour.

People keep lying.

Okay.

So, and they said, like, because it messes with your hormone.

So don't tell me twice.

Yeah.

So this morning I woke up and usually I have a million things to do before I can get to my coffee.

But like this morning I was trying to be intentional about waiting 90 minutes.

I couldn't do it.

90 is wrong.

I think an hour is fine.

I think I made it to an hour before.

I was like, fuck this.

Also,

yesterday's episode was truly one of my favorites.

Like this Huberman story, like I couldn't listen to us recap it enough.

I just, I think I watched it twice.

Well, once while I was on the treadmill, it got me through my 5k training.

Like I didn't even listen to any music.

I was just cackling.

I honestly, I need to thank the writer of this article.

It has brought me such joy.

Like people's takes on it, the recaps of it, our recap.

It is truly, um,

and then there was like, you know, a couple people like who were taking it seriously, being like, as a woman, I was like, okay, stop.

You lost me.

Yeah, like taking, like, just stop.

Like, so don't listen to his podcast anymore if you're so offended.

Like, don't, we don't care.

Like, this isn't an airport.

You don't have to announce your departure.

But the, I have just been giggling nonstop.

And I want to thank Andrew.

I want to thank the writer of the article.

I'd like to thank Sarah, even though I have found my, did you see?

I saw what you sent me.

I saw what you sent me, you guys, Sarah's credibility.

Now, I don't want to be slanderous, but because I didn't.

Don't say who I am.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I just got this like random email, some girl being like, listen, I have information on Sarah.

And they're like, she told me Sarah's name.

And apparently Sarah was like the founder of like some sort of like well company, a company about wellness.

I don't know if it was food or medicine.

I don't care.

And it turned out to be like a total scam.

She was like lying to all of her customers.

So she herself has like a questionable past.

She has a credibility issue.

And that was obviously left out of the article.

If Sarah is who this person said she is.

Nobody came forward with, you know, any information on Eve, which I would have been more into.

I need to know who Eve is.

Also, people were saying the article is John Tucker Must Die.

Yes, of course.

She should have called it Andrew Huberman Must Die.

I mean, in the Andrew, it tracks, honestly.

I could see Jesse Metcalfe playing Andrew Huberman in the biopic of his life.

Yeah.

Actually, Jesse Metcalfe was just making headlines today

about John Tucker Must Die, like talking about how he wasn't eating for the role.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, because he was getting like John Tuckerified.

It was giving Huberman, honestly.

It was giving Huberman.

I have to say,

there are

few people who had more of an impact on me as a young woman than Jesse Metcalfe.

John Tucker Must Die, and then more importantly, his role as the gardener, whose name is escaping me, John.

Oh, his name is John and both.

Yeah.

In Desperate Housewives.

Like, I've, like, there was a time where I seriously, like, was so in love with Jesse Metcalfe.

And he still is hot.

Like, I want to thank him for like aging respectfully and like not being creepy, making TikToks like about his former youth.

Like, he's really aging.

Taking his talents to the Hallmark channel.

As that's where he should go.

Okay.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Handsome leading man.

That's what he has been and what he always will be on the Hallmark Network.

Yeah.

Handsome leading man.

Honestly, he should play Bruce Springsteen in Bruce Springsteen's biopic, which is a story we recapped on the Patreon yesterday.

You guys, the person in talks to play Bruce Springsteen, I don't want to spoil it for the episode, is so perfect.

And I'm just excited about it.

I can't believe that's a true testament to how good the stories have been this week because biopic casting news is some of our favorite news.

We wouldn't miss it.

For the world.

But just so you know, like nothing's signed yet.

So you haven't like missed anything.

But this is what's conflating yeah rumors had a rumor started i'm sick of being followed literally me after like a successful episode of the the toast

literally you after starting a rumor about yourself

that's literally you after telling people you want them to think you're on ozempic has that been sufficiently because now like i know you don't have tick tock when all the comments are like oh my god is shaggy on ozempic they're trying to like help you oh um

How do you feel?

Like that was, we successfully started a rumor about ourselves.

Yeah, no, I feel good because it was so funny.

That's what I feel good about.

Totally.

I feel good about the funny content that was made.

As you should.

Based on a joke I made.

Yeah, based on like an original thought of yours.

Hashtag proud podcaster.

Hashtag job well done.

Hashtag employee of the month.

Okay, calm down.

I think there's literally two employees here.

Karen, we should do a segment at the end of every month.

I love it.

Employee of the month where like who shined?

Yeah, like no, no, and like we have to quote the other.

And actually, I don't think we should be competing every month because like that'll create resentment.

Okay, that's right.

I think we should be nominating the other

and explaining like why you were an employee of the month.

And every month we have two employees of the month.

So it's me and you.

Yeah, of course.

Okay.

We need to just be conscious of like the last day.

By the way, it's literally coming up.

It's coming up.

Okay.

So if we can...

Can we write this down?

It's a Sunday, so maybe we'll do it on Monday.

No, no, it has to be like the last episode of the month.

so it would be friday okay oh fuck but oh but friday's leading me but it won't always be friday okay fine or the first of the month which is more well the first of the month is april fool so we've got to be on guard so true because i would be like jokingly nominating you right right mean you know let's just we need to like map out the next couple of months and like set reminders for the segment yeah I'm obsessed.

Are we calling it employee of the month?

That's just so regular.

I know, I love it.

Okay, okay.

i you know i literally would die for a segment segments are my favorite things and we've been slaying the segment department yeah there was a lull you know unburden yourselves but

rip by the way i just want to say like we didn't like it there there is a very small niche stanhood for

unburdening yourselves found a new home

unburdening yourselves has been rehomed yeah to patreon yeah and that's where it shall reside i love love, love, love.

Patreon is a home for a lot of segments that have gone out to pasture, like to pasture

husbands that annoy us.

Six man award.

Oh, what did you say?

Which is our husband.

Our crossed over.

Things our husbands do that annoy us.

Yes, yes.

Patreon in like a good way.

That doesn't make sense for the show because we do pop culture.

Yeah.

Yeah, we're pop culture experts.

Oh my God.

Are you a crack?

Oh my God.

By the way, your hormones.

Is there anything more cringe than calling yourself a pop culture expert?

No, I mean, what do you mean?

I feel like we say that we are.

No, I exactly are.

In earnest, we are, but like, cringe.

No, I mean, as your job title, it's like, yeah, get in line for unemployment.

But, but, like, we actually are.

Like, as an actor, most pop culture podcasts, but still, like, cringe.

I hear what you're saying.

So, like, if you know, someone's on TV and there it says, like, you know, Jada

Smith.

I don't know why she gets in this.

I don't know why I said Jada Smith.

Okay.

Jane Doe.

And it said instead, you know, instead of like whatever their title was, it said pop culture expert.

I agree.

It's giving sadness.

But, you know, we technically could do that, but I would never.

It would say author, entrepreneur, podcaster, comedian.

There would be so many things before a pop culture expert.

For sure.

But at the end of the day, like you're all of those things because you are a pop culture expert.

And I think, you know, as kind of stated earlier on in the show, I'm not even a pop culture expert because half the things I think are fake.

True.

Because AI.

No, but you're an expert.

You're an expert because you come, you eventually you learn.

Yeah.

And then you share your wisdom with others as experts do.

Very huberman of me.

Huberman, what's Huberman doing today?

Do you think he's like freaking?

Let me check his podcast, like if he has episodes due, if he's taking a break.

I feel like taking a break would be a huge mistake.

This article was a big nothing burger and like taking a vow of silence.

It would be a huge mistake.

It would be a huge mistake.

Is that what you said?

Yet two days ago he posted an episode.

So like he has a few days off.

So I think he'll come back.

It's he weekly?

He'll be like, Huber what?

Huber who?

Huber you?

Does he do once a week or he does more than that?

You know, here's one from five days ago that says bonus, whatever the fuck that means.

Then March 18th, March 11th, March 4th.

Okay, it's giving weekly.

Plus, giving weekly.

And then February 29th, bonus.

So like, I don't know.

I just look at people with weekly podcasts and I think to myself, like, get a job, you know?

But not Huberman because he has his lab and he has his girlfriends and he has his dog.

He's very busy.

All he cares about is his friends and his teammates and his mom.

And his dog.

Yesterday, I was like looking at myself zoomed out every time I was talking to Bruno.

Oh, oh.

And thinking of how someone could spin it in an article to make me look and smell

crazy.

Yeah.

And it's so easy to do so i actually like i have a lot of grace for huberman in that department huber grace i'm giving huberman grace at the moment as it pertains to treating his dog like a human being a child correct so that's what i was doing yesterday and that's why today should be thursday to bring it back around yeah

But it's not.

How are the stories today?

We have Deer Toasters, which is our weekly advice segment, which I'm just, you know, juiced for.

Same on opposite day.

You guys know Jackie hates deer deer toasters, but I want the community to know I will never let deer toasters die.

Deer toasters is the best.

Everybody loves it.

I don't know why you hate it so much.

You have to do nothing except listen.

Here's why.

Not why, but let me just explain where I'm coming from.

To me, dear toasters, it's kind of like games.

The idea of games, it's like, I don't like the idea of it.

I find the idea very overwhelming.

However, when I'm in it, I am in it to win it.

I think you can't.

When I play a game, once I get into a game, like, oh, I'm winning.

There was one time, time,

literally one time in recent memory where Jackie really got into a game.

And I'm not talking about like quiplash.

I'm talking about like board games and such.

Do you remember that game of Monopoly?

Oh, and I was cracking you up.

Now, in, you know, it's important for context.

Like, I did smoke pot, which I never do.

And then we played Monopoly and Jackie was the banker.

And she was like, literally like robbing everyone, including herself.

She was living below the poverty line.

She was being so funny.

I swear to God, there are a few moments in my life I would love to relive or like watch, you know?

Yeah, watch.

And if I could watch a tape, not even, I don't want to be a tape.

I want to be like an invisible woman in the corner just watching us so happy.

We were on vacation.

It was just the four of us, right?

The sisters?

The boys weren't playing with us?

No, it was literally just like sister of Monopoly.

And I'm so glad I brought this up because I often wondered if anybody like remembers that game of Monopoly as a core memory as much as I do.

Like it was probably like that to be a loser, like the happiest I've ever been.

Oh.

Like we can't play games on vacation anymore.

anymore everyone's kids are like crying and screaming and throwing up and we only had one kid at that time it was michaela she was sleeping really good and shapiro was watching her and we had a living we had everyone's full attention and it was seriously the happiest i've ever been oh that's a beautiful memory i know i know the time that you're talking about but no i don't think of it like you do because you know when we go on vacation like my dream is for us to play a game together and it's like even if i can convince everyone which is the hardest thing to do even if we make a plan some kids starting a tantrum sick cough sleep, breast, like there's something.

And I just want the attention of my fellow sisters on Monopoly.

And I haven't gotten it since that very day.

Well, all that to say, that's how I feel about dear toasters.

But when I'm in it, you have my full attention.

Good.

100%.

I'm going to win.

I'm going to give you the best advice.

But the idea of it is overwhelming to me.

And I think that's a fair assessment.

It might be a fair assessment, but I think I speak for the entire community when I say get over it.

Like grow up.

You know, I'm like, I'm over it.

I'm not actively resisting deer toasters, except when like, you know, I try and make you forget about it or try and push it for one reason or another.

Police arrest her.

She's resisting.

Resistance.

Another word that's been meaningless.

Yeah.

Sad.

So speaking of keywords go.

That means we have a lot to do today.

So perhaps we should dive in.

Perhaps.

Okay, without further ado, do it do, here are the fast size stories that you need to know.

Now, if you're listening to this show, it is highly likely that you are a millennial.

And what's fabulous about that is it's time to add Clarence multi-active cream into your daily routine.

We are getting older ladies, and it's time, it's just preventative, okay?

As a millennial, like it's just important that we do preventative things, and Clarence understands that.

If you've been adulting for a while, the daily stress, you know, binging gossip girl and listening to the toast can really get to you.

And sometimes we're not getting our recommended eight hours of sleep because we're up so late, you know, watching toast clips on tick tock

the good news is that europe's number one skincare line has a solution that you can trust it's rooted in nature and innovated with science clarens has a long legacy of creating industry first plant forward products using a skin charger complex made of two percent niacinamide and sea holly bio extract clarence multi-active cream has been clinically proven to target the first visible signs of aging by smoothing lines and wrinkles refining pores and evening tone and texture and strengthening the skin's moisture barrier um every time i use a clarence product i immediately repurchase it if it comes into my life, either through PR or I buy it myself, I've never disliked a Clarence product and this one is no different.

So I love their lip oils.

Thank you, Claudia.

You fell asleep?

No, sorry.

I was reading.

I was going, running through my stories.

I told you I had to get from six to five.

Right.

We're so blessed.

Yes, but we made it to five.

Our first story, Rebel Wilson's book excerpt has come out.

Oh, this is such good PR for her book.

Yes, she's describing the onset humiliation by Sasha Baron Cohen in a shocking memoir excerpt.

Let's hear it.

So Reba Wilson describes feeling scared of her Grimsby co-star Sasha Baron Cohen in a shocking excerpt from her forthcoming memoir.

She said in the book, quote, it felt like every time I'd speak to SBC, he'd mention that he wanted me to go naked in a future scene.

I was like, ha, I don't do nudity, Sasha.

She goes on to recall that he subsequently summoned her, quote, via a production assistant to say she needed to film an additional scene for their 2016 movie, again, again that was um

grim uh grim's grimy

uh he said she said quote then he pulls his pants down sbc says very matter-of-factly okay now i want you to stick your finger up my ass and i'm like what no

She says she finally compromised by slapping his backside and improvising a few lines so she could, quote, get out of there.

However, she later needed to film an intimate scene with the comedian.

She said, quote, I still had to stimulate having, simulate having sex with this guy.

I still had to kiss him repeatedly.

Months later, it really sank in that all this wasn't something that could be laughed off.

I relayed to the producers that I would not be doing any promotion for the film.

After calling it.

No wonder I never heard of it.

Well, she called the film's lack of box office success karma enough.

She insists she was not about canceling anybody by sharing her story.

She said, I'm sharing now because the more women talk about things like this, hopefully the less it happens.

Oh my God, these are really like, that's not what I thought.

her like allegations were gonna be.

I thought it was just like him being a dick, not him like whooping out his dick.

Disgusting, if true.

Yeah, this is more than asshole.

This is different than like what you would expect asshole behavior to be.

That's why I thought he was just running around set yelling at everybody, you know?

Yeah.

Well, he, as we know, is not taking these allegations lying down.

I'm sure he will in some way respond to these charges because he had put out that really strong statement the other day when she called him and named him as the asshole.

So.

Yeah, and he like, not only did he, his rep like vehemently deny, he said he had proof.

Yeah, I'll say that.

So I don't know how you, yeah.

He said, his rep told page six the claims are demonstrably false and directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during, after the production.

Well, not the contemporaneous documents.

Yeah, like it sounds like he has evidentiary support, as El Woods would say, and he's taken the dog.

So I don't know.

like, these are such specific, like, I really do, I do believe Rebel Wilson.

Like, this is really.

For sure, I didn't even, I didn't see Grimsby, but the movies that I did see, like, a finger up the butt, it seems like very classic SBC content.

But I assumed in movies, like, you're not actually putting your finger up someone's, but I thought, like, you know, the way you could stage it and prosthetic fingers.

Yeah, like something.

And of course, like, you don't have to go all the way up.

You could just, like, curl your finger and it looks, you know, like.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Maybe it's a sleight of the hand.

Yeah, like you name magician.

I really didn't think that.

Well, maybe he'll come back with like, you know, with the prosthetic finger he wanted to wear.

Like.

Yeah, we'll hear his side, but this for the prosthetic finger on the body.

This is really like atrocious behavior.

It's, yeah.

Gross.

Yeah, I have a feeling this story will be coming back.

Oh, for sure.

It'll be a developing story.

It's a developing story.

Are you ready for our next story?

Also a developing story that had been developing and I think will develop further.

And will continue to develop?

The developing nature of this story will develop accordingly.

Okay.

Christine Quinn's husband files for a restraining order against her and denies hitting their son.

Okay, giving victim.

Christine Quinn's husband, Christian Richard, filed for a restraining order against the former reality star after he was arrested for domestic violence last week.

According to court documents obtained by page six, he requested that the

settling sunset alum be ordered to stay at least 100 yards from his L.A.

home, which he also asked her to move out of.

He also requested that she not travel with their 10-year-old son, their two-year-old son, Christian, outside of L.A.

without his permission.

He claims in the documents that she is capable of abducting their child.

He further claims that she has a history of threatening to take away or hide their son from him and has not been cooperative in co-parenting.

No, I would abduct my child too if you threw a glass bottle at him.

Like, yeah.

Obviously, she's abducting him for a reason, you know?

Obviously, she's threatened to like keep the kid away from him.

Taking away or hide him from

you.

It's giving victim energy when you're not the victim.

And hashtag, I stand with Christine Quinn.

Yeah.

It's as simple and as complicated as that.

Yeah.

Just who would have thought, like, this, the way this whole marriage happened, she just showed up to season two with a fiancé, ended season two with like her, you know, funeral-themed wedding, which was like all black.

Yeah.

Um, and then they just like kind of lived quietly.

I, you know, when they first started dating, I think everybody was like, okay, this is weird.

Like the way it happened was weird.

And, you know, she was so much more attractive than him.

Um, but he was very wealthy.

So, you know, the scales were tipped.

And then they just kind of like sat, they moved moved in silence, you know?

Yeah.

She had a baby.

They were married for a while.

And you were like, okay, maybe this isn't weird.

Maybe this is the real deal.

And now I just have more questions than ever.

Yeah.

Me too.

Sad.

Really sad.

Always sad when it's like a child.

Yeah.

But I fully support the abduction and abdication of this child.

And, you know.

Bring him across state lines.

Like, love that for you.

Yeah.

He thinks that she's going to take him to Texas because that's where her parents are and she's close to them.

How nice to be with their grandparents.

It's so funny how like you can manipulate the law to be like, she's abducting my child when like the reality is like the child.

She's going to take it to his grandparents.

She was just with him.

Because the father is a domestic abuser.

Yeah.

Like

don't manipulate.

That's not what the law is for, sir.

No.

Oh, our next story is some more domestic violence news.

This is just a heavy morning.

Oh, no.

I know the story.

But it's really disturbing.

Shahs of Sunset alum Mike Shoehead's ex-fiancé is suing him for vicious and brutal domestic violence attacks.

And what's more shocking is there are images of.

Yes, she

probably had to provide some sort of proof.

Well, also, she had it.

Like, she has cameras in the house.

She's baby cameras.

No, in every room in her house.

There's living room, there's this nursery, and there looks to be her clot, his closet, actually.

They just have cameras in every room in the house.

No, and the photos are jarring, but the one of, you know, him literally trying to suffocate her in the nursery is particularly upsetting.

Yeah.

So Mike Shoehead from Shaz of Sunset, his ex-fiancé, Paulina Ben Cohen, reveals for the first time the alleged horrifying abuse she experienced at the hands of the disgraced Bravo star in a bombshell lawsuit obtained by Page Six.

The influencer claims in the complaint filed on Friday that she and Mike got into a heated argument over a hookah on March 27, 2022, which ultimately led to his domestic violence arrest.

She says the alleged abuse reportedly began in verbal form with her then-fiancé yelling that she was a horrible mother, a fucking whore, and a piece of shit.

Oh my God.

When she asked him to leave their home, which they reportedly shared with her children from a previous relationship and began to pack his things, he allegedly became physically violent.

She claims in the suit that

Mike ran into the room,

forcefully grabbed her hair and shoulder and violently threw her to the ground.

The complaint includes screenshots of security footage that appears to substantiate all of her claims.

Page six has reached out to him for comment, but did not immediately hear back.

Mike allegedly told her that he would never leave their California property until she paid him for half of it.

He then allegedly continued to physically abuse her by putting his hand over her face and trying to suffocate her several times as she struggled to breathe.

Oh my God, that's so scary.

Yeah, like there's a lot of details here.

And also, so there are still images that corroborate exactly what she's saying, but I imagine these are part of larger videos that also have sound.

And what he's saying is probably recorded.

Oh my God, I have such a pit.

I didn't even know these two were still together because Shaws of Sunset has been off the air.

And by the, when the show was ending, she was like this great girl in his life.

And he was just this like douchebag LA guy who like wouldn't settle down.

And she loved him so much.

And he loved her, but like not enough to stop being a prick.

And she also was very mature.

You know, she has kids from a previous relationship.

She's looking to settle down.

She's not looking to like run around LA and be like a reality star.

Yeah.

And so the fact that they were still together, I didn't know that.

And I don't even know if I knew that they got engaged.

I can't remember if that was on the show.

So this was just like a reminder to me that these two people were still together.

And I loved Paulina in the show.

Like she was really

if they were together past this incident, which was two years ago.

Oh.

Because that's when he was arrested for domestic violence.

Oh, but now it's making news because she, the proof is like public

information.

Got it.

Okay, so they're not together.

I don't think.

No.

Yeah.

I mean, I hope not.

Ex-fiancé, it says.

Yeah, yes.

Got it.

Okay, now everything's making more sense to me.

Thank you so much.

Horrifying.

And the thing is, I was reading a lot of commentary on this and people are like, oh, like I always knew like he was.

I I did not.

Like, he was a dick loser reality star douchebag.

Like, LA douchebag, but that's a far cry.

And really rude to the girls he dated.

But, like, he was so family-oriented and he loved his mom so much.

And you know what?

It's always the assholes who love their mom, okay?

Like, like, they use that as some sort of shield.

Like, I love my mom.

I won't hurt women.

A shield.

And, you know, now I'm like, maybe I think you like your mom too much.

No, I hate that.

No, I'm,

I don't blame the mothers.

I don't.

I do not.

Yeah.

I I do not.

But something went seriously wrong if you're suffocating.

Yeah, see, I agree.

I agree with that.

So I don't blame the mom, but I have questions.

Yeah.

I blame the man.

Every grown man is responsible for their own behavior.

Yeah.

But like, where are we picking up on that sort of behavior?

Yeah.

And, you know,

very upsetting footage.

Very upsetting.

Very upsetting story.

Yeah.

Exactly.

I hope for swift justice for her.

Me too.

I feel like the fact that this case has gone on for two years, like, how long must she live in this misery, you know, and keep reliving it every time, like, the lawyer calls?

Yeah.

Just get it done.

Yeah.

Are you ready for our next story?

Yeah.

Quiet on Set will launch a fifth episode called Breaking the Silence with a new Drake Bell interview and more.

So a surprise fifth episode of the docu series Quiet on Set, The Dark Side of Kids TV, will air on April 7th on ID and then stream on Max.

So the new episode of the unscripted series detailing the alleged onset treatment of child actors will include

interviews from earlier subjects including Drake Bell, all that cast members Giovanni Samuels and Brian Hearn, Brian Hearn's mother Tracy Brown, as well as

a new interviewee, All That Cast member Shane Lyons, who will be interviewed by journalist Soledad O'Brien for an important discussion about the industry then and now.

Episode five will be building off revelations explored in the first four episodes and include a conversation led by O'Brien on where the industry can go from here.

What's also just interesting factoid is that according to ID, the first four episodes of Quiet Onset have been watched by 16 million viewers across cable network ID and streamers Max and Discovery Plus since the episodes premiered.

The show has reached the largest audience of an unscripted series since the launch of Max in May.

Oh, so this was like huge for Max.

Huge for Max.

A lot of people are watching this.

I think a lot of people needed to watch this, so I'm glad to hear that.

But I also felt, I don't know if I said this on the show or just to you, but like when the documentary ended, I was like, I feel like more people, now after seeing this and seeing like we're busting it open, like I feel like more people might share their story.

So I had felt like by the middle of the fourth episode, they should have really ended it at the third.

I thought the fourth episode was like really,

like especially the last 20 minutes, like they just had a hard time like landing the plane.

I felt like it was too long, honestly.

And so, a fifth episode makes no sense to me, unless, you know, the response to people,

people's response to like Drake Bell speaking out and, you know, being so brave inspired someone else to then share their story.

So, if they're just going to have this sort of referendum on the industry, like, I felt like they kind of beat the horse dead in the first four episodes.

But if there's new information, and I think maybe the success of the documentary could inspire somebody to, and how everybody sort of treated Drake afterwards with like, you know, real love and care.

Maybe that inspired somebody else to share their story.

But if not, I feel like they're just kind of milking it.

I don't think, I'm not getting

milking it.

I feel like there's more stories out there and the hugeness of this documentary and how everyone is running scared, all of these

criminals and just bad faith actors and bad faith producers and bad faith creators.

Like, I feel like people might feel safe to come and share more.

I think that would be great.

Yeah.

So that will air, what did I say?

April 7th.

April 7th.

Yeah.

I um

I agree if like new information is coming to light and Sola Dad.

Bring in the big guns.

Bring in the big guns.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So stay tuned for that.

Our fifth and final story is a little more content legal news.

I think that really sums up the episode.

Content legal news, I love.

Netflix has lost a bid to dismiss the Inventing Anna defamation lawsuit.

Oh.

So a former friend of

con artist Anna Sorkin was allowed on Tuesday to proceed with a defamation lawsuit against Netflix over the Shonda Rhimes miniseries, Inventing Anna.

Netflix had argued that Rhimes and the other show creators have a literary license to give their interpretation of events.

In rejecting that argument, the judge found that at least some of the characterations in the show could cross the line into defamation.

That's like so crazy.

Yeah, the plaintiff, Rachel, you would like think that they would be concerned about these things as they're making a show.

Right.

And I feel like a million real-life scenarios are made into movies and TV shows.

And I can't recall

one where I know people have sued over whatever, where defamation was found.

So, defamation hasn't been found here, but so it was Rachel Deloach Williams who was depicted as abandoning Anna in Morocco and ultimately betraying her to the Rachel is the defendant?

Rachel.

Not Anna?

Not Anna.

Well, I will say, after watching the documentary, I thought Rachel was a big old loser.

Right.

Well, she's claimed that 16 separate sets of statements in the series falsely portray her as snobbish, unethical, and greedy.

She's suing suing her defamation.

I didn't think she was any of those.

I thought she was the biggest loser on the planet and who could like so easily be manipulated by this obvious con woman.

That's what I got from the show.

Well, she's suing for defamation.

Netflix tried to dismiss the suit and the judge said, no, the suit goes forward.

Like there could be defamation.

I'm in shock that it's Rachel.

Miss Rachel.

Miss Rachel.

No, to me, that's so shocking.

I thought it was like Anna Delvey, like looking to have a moment.

And yes, she wasn't a con woman because she's delusional.

You know, she still maintains her innocence.

I thought it was going to be that.

No.

I didn't think she was unethical at all.

Like,

what she left, what's her face in Morocco?

Like, she had to go.

Yeah.

Oh, my goodness.

I don't think she'll win, but you're right.

Like, them not dismissing it is pretty major.

Like, she does have somewhat of a case.

Yeah.

So TBD.

That would be

a precedent.

It would.

Like, I think it might scare Netflix and other, like, production companies and streamers into how they document real life events.

Yeah.

Or recreate real life events.

Yeah, but don't they usually say in the beginning, like, this is what they're doing.

Things have been changed.

Yeah.

And that kind of covers them.

Legally.

But now I'm thinking, was there that with Anna?

I feel like they would say, like, you know, these conversations, like how with the crown.

Yeah.

Like these conversations weren't had, but like overall it's based on true events.

Yeah, but the crown is always like we're fiction Even though yeah, they need to stop even though they're real everything real everything fiction and like the crown is real.

It's just a coincidence.

The queen is Elizabeth and the king is Philip and the son is Charles.

Stop it.

They live at Buckingham Palace.

No, literally, it's so stupid and like uh

Diana died.

Everything.

It's real.

Yeah.

It's real.

So sort of fast size stories.

You needed to know them.

We can help you.

We might not if your prompt is boring, but we can.

First up, dear Jackson Claude, my fiancé and I travel often, and I always take the middle seat on planes so that he can have the aisle due to his height and his back problems.

He is 6'1, and I'm 5'5 for reference.

He recently got airline status, and when we were talking about an upcoming trip, he said he hopes he gets upgraded to business class.

I was immediately mad and asked if he thought it was okay to leave me in the economy middle seat between two strangers if he gets upgraded.

And he didn't see any issue with it.

Am I crazy for being angry?

If I was flying alone, I would never choose the middle seat, but is it similar to any other seat?

And am I overreacting?

Thanks for your guidance.

You're not overreacting.

That's too far.

It's like, if one of you can get upgraded, then you go to business and he takes the aisle.

Like, he doesn't leave you in the dust, especially while you've been in the middle for him all these years.

Which is generous.

Can we talk about that?

Like, me and Ben, because Ben is really tall and I'm really short and you're really short too.

When we fly, we will.

literally never take a middle seat.

We will always do two aisles.

Like we'd rather be further back in two aisles than close, even down to comfort, like with a middle seat.

Oh, that's insane.

I've never heard of that.

Like if Zach and I were both, if we were flying together, or like when we used to fly the two of us, if we were in a

three and three.

Yeah, no, I would be in the middle and he would get the window.

Oh, that's so crazy.

I'm so against middles.

Like I think middles are the most devious, disgusting places that what's wrong with sitting on two aisles?

I think that's so nice.

Or I would get the window and he would get the middle.

But if it was an aisle, he would get the aisle.

I would get the the middle.

But yeah, no, I definitely took one for the team like a couple times.

And I'm in the, but we never, we never thought to do aisle, aisle.

I don't love the aisle.

Oh, but I think aisle, aisle, and I shouldn't have even said that because I feel like I'm giving people a hack that me and Ben like love and it's protected.

We always do aisle aisle.

Interesting.

Anyways, also had to say, like, your man is so wrong for this that he wouldn't be.

He shouldn't be, first of all, giving you the upgraded seat.

Of course.

Like, I like how that wasn't even a part of the conversation.

She's just mad that he's leaving her in the middle seat.

And if he, like, honestly, then he shouldn't upgrade if you have to stay in the middle seat.

Like, if he can't move that seat to an aisle or a window, he can't leave you.

I'm sorry.

That's so wrong.

He can't.

But

I think like you have to take the upgrade.

That's how you build status.

That's just a part of having status.

First of all, you need to start building up your status too.

Like, go to the points guy.com and figure it out, bitch.

Like, he can't be the only one.

But, you know, my husband is 6'1, and maybe I'm just like exposing myself as like a bitch here.

But, like, if I get upgraded, like, bye.

No, but the problem is there's an upgraded seat and a middle seat.

and he won't sit in the middle because of his back well he needs to

all of a sudden because there's a chance from having to take it out he went from having an aisle

and business class to the middle

because he has the middle with a chance of business class so he might leave you and that's fine because you're in the aisle no what she's saying is he was in the aisle and she was in the middle aisle man got upgraded to business they lost the seat

no i get it i'm saying in the future oh in the future but in this instance they by the way now that he gets like a 50 chance of getting upgraded he no longer has the privilege of sitting in the aisle you have the aisle and you're allowed to be mad at that about this book his seat as the middle book your seat as the aisle if one of you gets upgraded then

if he gets upgraded then you take business and he can keep his aisle yep yep but i think a conversation needs to be had about the fact that you know if me and ben were in coach and he got upgraded like that seat is mine i'm i'm a woman you're not gonna leave me in the dust yeah like like, bye.

Bye, thank you.

And also, it's so funny because Ben and I have like different quirks about certain things.

And I feel like you have quirks too.

Like, you're very particular about hotel rooms.

Me, like, I don't really give a fuck.

Ben will move a hotel room 45 times.

Ben will sit on the last seat next to the toilet and not give a flying fuck.

Whereas if I'm not in the first row, like, I can't go.

So, everybody has their own travel quirks.

So, if there is one first-class seat, like, we're taking it and I'm taking it.

But if we get to the hotel and the room is not sufficient, like, oh, yes, I'll follow Ben around around the hotel room moving until we find the right one.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So everybody has their own travel quirks.

Some people don't mind middle seats and stuff.

Not everything can be important to you.

And in a relationship, you need to know like what's for the other person.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

Our next one is a little legal news.

I'm in need of major advice.

My fiancé and I are planning on signing a prenup.

I requested that we have one as I have family money and properties.

Okay, queen.

He is totally fine with it.

Here's the issue.

I am a lawyer, so I'm going to be the one drafting the document.

My fiancé wants to have his parents look it over.

They're both lawyers.

Something about that doesn't sit right with me.

I don't want it to be in my in-laws knowing the intimate details of my family's financial situation.

Am I being a wench?

Would you guys be okay with your in-laws reading your prenup?

I would expect that they would know some version of it.

Like, I don't think that's so crazy.

I don't know.

I agree with the weirdness.

Yeah, it is a little weird, but like you're not paying legal fees.

So like now he doesn't have to pay legal fees.

What else?

Like his parents are lawyers?

Like what else is he?

Does he even know another lawyer then?

So I think like if you're really uncomfortable with it, you then have to bring in your own counsel and ask your husband.

Be like, honestly, this feels like a little intimate.

Why don't we both just get separate lawyers to like make things less weird?

Yeah.

Like if you want to request that they take a step back, you do too.

Yeah, I think that's fair.

But then you're paying like through the nose for lawyers.

Well, she's got properties and his parents are lawyers.

It doesn't sound like money is an issue here.

Love.

True.

But I agree with the weirdness.

Yeah, no, that's like weird.

I like

post-separate separation of churches and documents.

And they have really, I think, like a lot of information about you in those documents.

Yeah, no, but like, at the end of the day, you have every right.

Depending on how close he is with them, like everything that's in there, he would probably be sharing with them anyway.

But it is,

it's a little close for comfort.

And you're entitled to feel weird.

And if you're gonna ask that they not be involved, you also can't be involved.

Yeah.

And I think that's a good solve.

I think so.

Yeah.

Our third and final is like really light and funny and stupid.

Hey, girly swirlies.

Love and adore you.

Thank you for the years of entertainment.

I started talking to this guy for like three weeks.

We're all green flags across the board, PJOM potential.

But I have a really big ick.

He keeps using the catchphrase, booyah.

He uses it daily.

I haven't heard it used in real life, but over text constantly.

Some examples would be, yeah, my interview went well.

Thanks for asking.

Booyah.

Yeah, plane landed safely.

Booyah.

He uses the phrase so often, I cannot tell if it's a joke or if he's completely serious.

Is this enough of an ick to never speak to this man again?

Or should I bring up the conversation of putting a halt to this shit?

Hell.

Okay, I have so many things to say.

First of all, I do not find the word booyah icky at all.

I think it's hysterical and an underused term.

I kind of agree.

Second of all.

But by the way, we can't help what gives someone the icky.

No, here's the thing.

You guys have gotten crazy about your icks and TikTok has made you feel validated.

That's icky.

Like it was funny when it started, but a man whose green flags across the board, he's excited that he's in his fatherland.

He's positive.

If Booyah and you want to say I'd never speak to him again?

Like, what are you just drowning in eligible men?

Oh my God.

Jackie's dragging this generation to filth.

You're right, by the way.

Like, ick culture has gotten too out of control where we're actually writing people off for being human.

And it was a human and what?

Having a personality?

It's funny at first, like these small niche things that like give you the ick ha ha ha ha, but like you seriously are going to end things with an otherwise perfectly great man because he uses a word that you don't like.

And by the way, there's nothing wrong with that word.

Yeah, maybe if he was using the C word all the time, I'd say, ooh, that's icky.

By the way, she's not saying that she's going to leave him.

She said, like, Claudia, she said, never speak to him again.

Read it.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

No.

Oh, yeah.

Is this a big enough ick to never speak to this man again, or should I bring up the conversation?

You should do neither.

If you bring up the conversation, you will look so nitpicky.

Crazy.

You've been doing it for three years.

Like controlling.

No, but like controlling.

Like he'll be like, God, this woman's a cunt.

Like, I can't just be happy.

No, and also if he's anything like me, I get attached to words for a period of time.

And then I'm referendum.

I'm

not going to have to do the next word nefarious, even though that that one is here to stay.

But like

low-key.

It's forever.

There was a time Chloe was saying hella all the time.

Yeah.

No, we both really become like obsessed with the words.

Not everyone's like that.

And this might be a permanent thing.

And if it is, like, oh, his biggest crime is he's happy.

He says, boo, yeah, which is hysterical.

It's a, it's a, it's also a celebratory word, which means this man has a lot to celebrate in his life, and we should be happy and grateful.

You had a flip of the break.

Jackie Oak just gave these bitches perspective.

You're right, by the way, about the ick thing.

Yeah, it's gotten too far.

I was like, funny.

It's not meant to be something that you break up with someone over.

It's just like you just kind of like clench your butt cheeks and pretend like you didn't see it and move on.

And by the way, like icks, you're right, aren't supposed to be deal breakers because I love my husband so much and he is icks.

Like he does something.

Not to be like, sorry, he got a haircut this morning.

He came back and he was like, it's a little short.

I was like, no, no, it's totally fine.

And good thing he never listens to this podcast.

It is so short.

I have to say that.

He looks like he's about to jacket.

He looks like he's about to join the army.

Stop.

That's, I I like.

I said, you kind of have a buzz cut, which Ben, you know, like, Ben never goes short.

He, like, loves his long, curly hair.

Oh, damn, it's not on his story.

He must really not like that.

That's how bad it is.

I'll take a picture and send it to you.

He has a full-blown bust cut.

That is.

I'm like, it's an ick, but what should I do?

Divorce him?

No, you just got to close your eyes until it grows back.

Exactly.

And thank God it'll be back by the weekend.

Like, Ben, boy's hair grows so fast.

Right.

Zach always sometimes gets like a super short haircut.

And I'm like, okay, tomorrow it will be back.

I'm not worrying.

I'm like, take a prenatal.

You'll be fine.

Icks are not red flags.

I don't know when they became those, but you don't have to run for an ick.

You just have to cringe and clench your butt cheeks and move on.

Yeah, you don't run.

You clench.

Yeah.

Booyah.

See, Jackie, I know you hate dear toasters, but the generation, they need to be.

I know they do.

And like I said, like, I get in it.

Like, I don't half ask my advice.

I don't say, oh, yeah, break up with your boyfriend.

Like, I will take the time, but it's emotionally taxing on me.

It is.

Yeah.
