Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the shows, and happy Wednesday.

Hope everybody's having a great Wednesday.

It's Wednesday.

It's hump day.

Don't forget to hump someone you love.

Speaking of someone I love, find me somebody to love.

Find me, Jacqueline Folet.

Hey, Jax, how you doing?

During better now that I plug my headphones in.

Hi, La Tour De Lou.

I'm doing well.

Happy to be celebrating the day of the hump.

with my favorite swirly.

Would you say with someone you want to hump?

Would you say that?

No.

I hate to start off the show on such like a negative, sad note, but I did want to share a story that just like was reminded, I was reminded of because like humping, like who do I love to hump?

Theo.

Doo, dado.

And I've actually been really good with my like Theo grief journey, but like yesterday was like a really hard day for me.

And I was on the Peloton and I did a Jen Sherman class and we were just talking about her.

She's the instructor who had that beef with Christopher Nolan.

Like so funny.

And she's a toaster.

And I've been wanting to take one of her classes.

And for me, like I'm really not partial to different

instructors, just the playlists.

Right.

No, but sometimes the instructors, like if they're super chatty, no, thank you.

But if the chat is good, I actually, instructors matter.

Yeah, of course, of course.

But for me, music is primary.

Cause if there's a song I don't know, it ruins the class.

Like I'll leave.

Like, yeah.

So I found this Jen Sherman class.

It had, you know, John Mayer.

It was a low impact ride.

And I was just like recovering from being sick.

I'm like, let me ease into it.

John Mayer, Andy Grammer, Vanessa Carlton.

And this Vanessa Carlton song comes on.

And I was like hit with a a memory I had totally blocked this out when Ben and I when Theo was like literally dying It was like a week out It was Thanksgiving weekend We had found out the week before and Ben's parents offered to watch Theo for the afternoon.

They were like go do something.

So we went to the jet game We ended up like being miserable and like not being able to think about anything else and left after five minutes But on the way there like in the car ride It was just like dead silent and we were like miserable looking at each other and Ben wanted to put on the radio and I'm like, please do not put on music.

I feel like it's gonna make me cry.

He's like, no, we'll put on like something good.

And so this Vanessa Carlton song came out.

I'm like, okay, Vanessa Carlton, harmless, right?

It was the song Ordinary Boy.

Now, if you listen to the song, Ordinary Boy, through the lens of someone whose dog is dying, like you will seriously kill yourself.

Even just the title.

Anything with boy.

Just a boy, just an ordinary boy, but he was looking to the sky and like Jackie.

So I totally forgot that like the song made me cry in the car and like I turned it off and I haven't listened like heard that song since then and it came out in in the peloton i'm literally in the gym like it's like a full gym like with people in it like sobbing on the bike like so cliche like exercising and crying but oh my god it just hit me and then like my whole day was ruined i couldn't stop thinking about the other whole day dude well it's good to get the grief out and it's also good when you have days where you're able to push past it but sometimes you just have to let it wash over you because if you suppress it too much it'll come out at in weird ways at weird times.

No, of course, but like I'm also low-key annoyed like that that song is ruined for me.

That's such a good song.

If it makes you feel better, I haven't heard that song in so long.

It's giving like, what's that effect?

Mandela effect?

Where

you keep showing up, but for me, I get through.

That's not the Mandela effect, but I get through life without ever hearing that song.

I know, but now I'm going to have to actively avoid it.

At least for the time being.

Okay.

One day you'll be able to listen to that song and smile.

And I wanted to do the class again.

And it will remind you of Theo in a positive way.

Yeah.

You know, and you'll be glad to be reminded of the do.

Yeah.

So that's what I've been dealing with.

How are you?

I'm good.

Super busy day yesterday, and we ended it with Freaking Fred, which is our monthly Patreon live show.

Yeah, everyone's like, Jackson Claude, you ever going to do a live show?

We do now.

A monthly live show.

We hadn't done it since last winter due to a lot of things, but now it's back.

It's monthly and it's on Patreon.

So we went live on YouTube last night.

Everybody was live with us in the comments, having fun.

We do like an hour-long show and it's a jolly good show.

It's a jolly good show and it's very different from the toast.

Like we have different segments, different games.

Like it's really fun.

It's giving like Watch Robins live energy.

It's just like chaotic.

Yeah.

And I loved it.

I had so much fun.

And you can also like you tune in live at 8 p.m.

But if you miss it, like you have to work or something, the link is still live.

You can go watch it if you're a Patreon member.

So it's just fabulous, fabulous, fabulous.

Yeah.

So that took up my evening and that was really it for me.

So no content, updates, not, I haven't watched anything, haven't read anything.

Oh, we watched a little bit more of the OC, maybe like two episodes last night.

Now we're at the part where Seth is like stuck between Anna and Summer.

And it's just unrealistic.

Like he's been in love with Summer his entire life.

And Summer finally likes him back.

And he's like, maybe I should date Anna now, who's like kind of desperate.

Like, even though I remember growing up watching the show hating Anna, she was the villain.

She was the villain.

Because of her haircut.

Of course.

What kind of 16-year-old was walking around with a pixie cut?

Like, seriously, she was just, she was not for me.

Now, watching back, she really is a nice girl.

At the end of last night's episode, we finally are introduced to Oliver.

And I'm like, I don't even like Ben is not ready for the journey he's about to go on with Oliver.

No, he's not.

One of the worst characters in TV history.

He's like the Juliet of

Gossip Girl.

He's the Juliet of the OC.

He's worse.

Who do you think was the worst villain in Gossip Girl?

Juliet, Georgina?

Georgina wasn't bad.

But Juliet, Georgina, or Ivy?

I think Georgina is the most iconic villain of Gossip Girl.

No, who bothered you, like, crawl, made your skin crawl the most?

Georgina didn't make my skin crawl.

Oliver doesn't make my skin crawl.

He's like a great villain.

He is.

Juliet and Ivy are just like weenies of the week, just trying, like, trying so hard, so desperate.

It's like Georgina and Oliver are actually like exact parallels.

They're already in that world.

Like they're not pretending to, like, and they're just like disturbed people.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's so true.

Actually, great parallel.

Yeah.

But actually, you know, the creator of Gossip Girl is the creator of the OC, this guy, Josh Schwartz.

And you can tell like when you watch a show back to back, like how the same person made this show.

Like there's a lot of the same formats and structures, but just like East Coast and West Coast.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like they, I think they use like a lot of the real places around the OC, like the South Coast Plaza.

Like these are real places.

Same with Gossip Girl.

Like they would go to.

The Empire Hotel.

Like that's a real place.

Right.

Right.

I like that.

Yeah, I like it too.

It's a great show.

I'm glad you guys are enjoying it.

I want to know Ben's thoughts on Oliver when Oliver does Oliver Tings.

When Oliver does the thing that he does.

The things.

Yeah, but mostly like the one thing.

What's the one thing?

Pew, pew, pew.

Oh, my God.

Yeah.

Yeah, like crazy.

Crazy.

That's Marissa, though.

Great judge of character.

That's in my future, and I'm looking forward to it.

That's really fun.

Why does today feel like a Friday?

Riddle me that.

I'll tell you why.

Because when you're your own boss, every day is a Friday.

Yeah, I don't know why.

I was just like, oh, you could watch OC this weekend.

It's Friday.

That's like the vibe I'm getting.

But you know what?

Why not treat every day like Friday if you can?

So funny how like personal the days are.

You know what I mean?

Because for me, like I'm having Monday energy today because I have been sick for a whole last week and today is like the first day I actually feel 100% better.

Like I don't have to wake up in the middle of the night and take Advil.

Like I feel so much better.

So I'm like, and I got dressed and I got my hair cut yesterday.

So I just feel like I'm getting my personality back, you know like i'm feeling like myself again and i like was walking to work with my music and like yes popping pussy like i just it feels like a monday like i'm ready and i woke up extra early made myself eggs i'm like yes pop off this pussy girl yes oh that's interesting my last two days have been so jam-packed like truly working until 11 p.m that it feels like that was a whole week those two days So now I'm like, Friday, Friday.

Gotta get down on Friday.

You know what?

I'm just gonna like live my life as if today is Friday.

Okay, wait.

I totally forgot to tell you this because Ben forgot to tell me this.

We get in bed last night.

He's like, oh my God, I forgot to tell you.

I was robbed yesterday.

I'm like, excuse me.

Now, there is this, and I want to share the story because I need to warn the girlies.

There's like a new scam going around.

And it happened to me like a few months ago.

Me and Ben were walking in the West Village at night.

And this young girl came up to us.

And me and Ben were together.

We were two people.

She was one.

She was like a young girl.

She like wasn't threatening at all.

So it didn't register at the time that this was like, It was like a scheme that was becoming popular within the schemer community.

She was like, you guys, like, I lost my license.

Like, I need need to get back.

She named like a random, but a town I had heard of, like, Ron Conkaba.

She's like, I need to get back to Ronkona.

Like, can you have $20?

And I was like, no.

Then

Ben said, he gets in bed yesterday and he's like,

I was robbed.

And I'm like, excuse me.

He's like, I was kind of like emotionally robbed.

I'm like, what are you talking about?

So Ben's walking to the subway.

He's almost at the subway and he's passing a bank.

And as he passes a bank, this guy, and this is like a bigger guy, just Ben alone, comes up to him and like is very, very close to him.

Ben said his chest was like touching his shoulder and was like, oh, I lost my license.

I need to get back to Tom's River, which is a real city in New Jersey.

It's like my wife's waiting for me.

Like, look, you can show, I'll show you a picture.

Like, I just like, I need some money.

And he like wouldn't let Ben walk.

And he was like, I just need the money.

And like, Ben was cornered.

And Ben was like kind of freaking out.

And he was like, Ben was like, sorry, I don't have any cash.

And the guy was like, oh, there's an ATM right there.

Like, so it was a very kind of smart scheme.

They stopped you in front of the bank.

And Ben was like, all right, you know what?

The bank is actually like full.

There are people in there.

Like, nothing bad can happen to me in there.

So Ben was like, you stay here.

I'll go to the bank.

He went into the bank.

He took out $40 and he gave it to this guy and left.

And I was like, wait, what?

Ben was telling me the story.

He was like, honestly, I thought it was the best way to get out of the scenario.

Like, I don't know what would have happened if I said no.

And I'm like, yeah, I guess.

And I'm like, happy that you're safe, but I'm like mad on your behalf that you got swindled.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He wasn't just robbed emotionally.

He was also robbed.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But he was like manipulated into, it wasn't like there was a gun or a knife yet,

but like he was emotionally manipulated into being robbed.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, well, considering like the actual robberties and thefts that go on in the city, like this was light, you know, a light.

And I was just happy that he was okay.

Like people now are riding around on scooters, swiping people's handbags.

You have to be so careful.

This is a new scheme.

That's why I wanted to bring it up.

Like if somebody tells you that they're lost and they just need to get home, like they're fine.

Right, but how do you get out of that situation?

Like, I know.

I was trying to think.

I'm like, okay, so what could we have done better next time for this not to happen?

And I said, Ben, like, how do you walk?

Because how you walk in the city, like, they're obviously choosing targets.

And I'm sure Ben was like on his phone, like looking around.

I walk like a linebacker.

Like, I've got something to protect.

I'm like, I walk fast and hard.

Yeah.

Or you go into the bank.

Now that you know this is a scheme, you go into the bank and you like go to a teller and you tell them to call the cops.

So that's what I told Ben to do, but he was like, you don't understand.

Like I had to get to a meeting.

Like I had the whole day.

Like I'm like, I would have gone to the teller and been like, hi, can you just pretend you're talking to me?

There's a man outside trying to rob me.

I'm going to stay in here.

They have a button.

You know, they have the button under the desk.

Like, call the cops.

Yeah.

Or ask them if there's like a side exit.

I know Ben just wanted to like get out, get clean.

And you know what?

He did the right thing because he's safe and unharmed.

And the only thing he lost was $40, which like just killed me.

But it is what it is.

Interesting.

Well, thank you for that PSA, Turdy.

Yeah, if somebody comes up to you in the street, because it happened to me and the girl looked pretty innocent.

I actually felt bad for a second.

I was like, wait, she's really lost.

And she just got back to Ron Kakama.

Like, I can give her $20.

But she just looked like there was a little something shady about her.

And that's like the new thing.

The new scam is like, I'm lost.

I need to get back.

And they name like an outer borough.

And they're always, and now that I think about it, the girl in the West Village was standing in front of this like bodega with an ATM.

They stand in front of an ATM.

It's actually pretty smart.

I thought he was going to say, I have Venmo.

Oh, my God.

It's like, if you have Venmo, then like, don't you have Apple Pay?

A Metro card to get on the train?

Yeah.

But I personally, I have Venmo and no Apple Pay.

I don't use Apple Pay.

That's insane.

Isn't it?

I mean, mean, okay, so yesterday I got my hair cut.

I don't know if I told everyone.

Last night I got my hair cut and before my haircut, because my hair cut was kind of late, I got myself a manicure.

So I didn't want to bring a bag.

These are like girly errands.

I don't need like a big tote.

So I shove all my shit in my pockets.

I get to the nail place and I don't have my wallet.

I'm like, oh, do you guys take Apple Pay?

And they're like, yeah.

And then I realized, and I like this nail place because they let you tip on the credit card.

So I'm like, okay, I'm all set here.

I texted my hairstylist.

I'm like, do you take Apple Pay?

She said, yeah.

Like, How great is that?

I didn't have to go home.

You need to get Apple Pay.

You need to get one card, especially, I mean, you don't live in New York.

And like in New York, when you get in a taxi, you can pay with Apple Pay.

And instead of like going through your bag looking for a $5 bill or a credit card to like swipe and sit there like an asshole, like it's really kind of, I can't believe you don't use Apple Pay.

I was just talking about this on the Patreon episode with Olivia about Disney, which I need to listen to.

I'm saving it for my flight tomorrow.

Because I was saying how she just like understood the Disney app and like we were paying for merch through the app.

Lickety split.

She taught me how.

And then of course the two stores where I'm buying, the merch's store isn't on the app.

And they were like, do you have Apple Pay?

And I'm like, no.

And I'm the only fool like with a physical credit card at Disney, like rummaging through my bag looking for my credit card.

You're giving Tradwife, like you're giving old school.

Turdy, you know the way to my heart is to say that.

You have to have one credit card on your phone.

I know Ballerina Farm doesn't have Apple Pay, so I don't have Apple Pay.

I don't know.

She's like extremely tech savvy with her 10 million followers.

She is.

Okay.

Maybe I'll do it.

Just one.

It's also really good in case of an emergency.

No, I will.

Also, I'm going through something right now where...

What are you going through?

I got a new phone.

How thrilling.

It took me about a week and a half to find the time to set it up.

It is an hours-long journey.

I start to set it up.

I'm moving everything over, and then I move over my cell phone number, and they say, can't complete Call Verizon.

Well, you just put in the SIM card.

There's no SIM card.

It's like a metaphysical SIM card.

Come again?

Like, I don't have a SIM card.

Every phone does.

You just have to.

It's a digital SIM.

Like, you just have to, like, confirm, confirm on both phones, which I did.

Denied.

Access denied.

They said like

to call Verizon.

No, I didn't try the Sim.

So then I'm like between two phones and I'm still using my old phone because the new phone doesn't have my phone number.

I could do everything on my new phone with Wi-Fi, but I don't have cell service.

Now, do me a favor after the toast.

Try switching SIM cards and tell me if it works, okay?

How do you get your SIM card out of your phone?

A safety pin.

You just pin it in and then you flip the cards, the old one to the new one and the new one to the old one.

Okay.

actually the new one probably doesn't have a sim card.

It's on the side of your phone.

Like take your case off.

Okay, I'm taking my case off.

Take your high contrast baby.

I know.

And now that like Charlie's getting older, I don't need this case anymore.

It's a beautiful thing.

I have like a really nice pleny one waiting for me.

Do you see like the little hole?

Yeah.

You stick a safety pin in it.

I have never done that before in my life.

I've never physically changed my SIM card.

That's insane.

That's literally how you get a new phone.

Like, what are you talking about?

No, like transfers.

My number.

Trad wife.

Trad wife.

What are you calling Verizon?

Me?

Like, hey, I got a new phone.

I never had to call.

This was the first time that things went awry.

And I feel like it's because I waited too long to set up my new phone.

No.

Because when I order my new phone, I order it for my phone number.

Like, they know.

They just know.

They know, of course.

And that's why, like, the SIM card makes it so easy.

Like, you just switch it in.

I'm just like, I've never had, I've never done it.

I kind of want you to do it right now on the, on the podcast, like, just so I can prove my point.

I mean, if Zach would bring up my new phone, it's been charging.

And a safety pin.

And it's, okay, that's going to be a little harder.

Or you could use your earring.

I don't have one in it's what I love about these headphones.

What I love about these headphones is I don't have to wear earrings.

And I actually put on earrings for Disney because I wanted to like, you know, enhance my face and be cute.

And like, they're so I find earrings so painful and like annoying.

And I'm so aware of them.

I can't wait to take them off.

That's so funny.

I'm like a big earrings girl.

I always have been.

And I feel like maybe I talked about this on the Patreon.

I think I used to wear like big earrings all the time when I was really insecure about my weight because you felt like it would like distract and like dazzle up.

And now that I've like toned back on so much, I wear like so much less makeup and I actually don't really wear big earrings anymore.

Also, like I invested in one really nice pair of diamond stud earrings and I keep them in 24-7.

So like I never

wear my base studs all the time, but now with these headphones and also when I wear headphones and I'm wearing an earring, it like digs into me.

No, you need surgery out there.

So I just decided I'm taking out my earrings for my the sake of my work.

But when you want to dress up an outfit I put on an earring and I just hate it like I wish I never got my ears parsed How about that?

Why don't you seal them up?

I did and then I got them parsed again on the breath live remember a live parsing with Alice and Lou?

Yeah, so why did you reparse because I was going to a wedding no a wedding your friend Margo's wedding and my outfit really needed earrings and I was like trying to like re-pierce it So funny that you bring that up because my friend Margo, whose wedding you went to when you got your ears pierced like a fun fact about her and her sisters is that they never got their ears pierced.

I wish.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Parsed.

Excuse me.

Oh, my gosh.

You're like me and Niku.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I,

it's not for me.

Also, my ear piercings are lopsided.

Oh.

From where we got our ears parsed back in the day.

And then when Alice and Lou pierced my ears live on the breath, I asked her to go over my same holes, like to reinforce the lopsidedness.

Oh, that was smart of you.

Was it?

I should have gotten you.

Duh.

Because I didn't really realize till after, like, I forgot because I got them pierced so long ago, I forgot that they were lopsided.

And then when they were rear pierced, I'm like, oh, they're lopsided.

Cool.

Thanks.

Cool.

I'm wearing this enormous jacket.

If you're watching on the video, you can probably see.

Like, that makes me look like a linebacker.

It's 500 degrees.

You really want to be a linebacker today.

I mean, I'm literally a sports analyst.

Okay, by the way, you sent me this clip and then a lot of other people sent me this clip.

Of that guy fucking going in on Brock Purdy.

So there was a segment on ESPN, I want to say.

Yeah.

I want to get first take

first take.

The guy who went off is named.

Oh, God.

Like, not me being your grandma.

Yeah, for real.

After going in on me and I Sim card.

I should have saved it like a big moron.

Yeah, and I didn't send it to you because I think I listened to it while we were still on the phone.

But this sports analyst is going in on Brock Purdy.

And like,

I don't think anything he he said was anti-factional it wasn't anti-facts but it was his name is Ryan Clark and he's an ESPN like talking head and he basically went on this thing being like I'm it's like been the struggle of my life this season to like talk about Brock Purdy in the same sentences as Lamar Jackson as Josh Allen as Patrick Mahomes and he was just going off so he was basically like in a more harsh way saying what we were saying earlier in the week and actually listening to his take and then reading the comments made me want to um take back what I said like I actually listening listening to him say it, I disagreed with it.

Oh, listening to him say it, I was like, way harsh, Ty, but I feel you.

Like you're not wrong, but like, what do you want from Brock?

Like, Jackie, it's his literal like second year in the league, and it's the second time he made it to the NFC championships.

Like, and he's five years old.

Right.

Okay.

Give the man a break.

It's not his fault.

Jimmy Garoppolo got injured.

Okay.

This is why I was talking to Zach about this yesterday because I was like, do you agree with this take that like Brock isn't good?

And Zach said that he is a product of the team that he's on.

Like the Niners have the best players and a not great quarterback because they invest in really good players and they use that money that they're not spending on the quarterback on the rest of the team.

On the Kyle Yuschecks, the George Kittles, the Debo Samuels.

Yeah, okay.

Because Zach was watching his show and the guy was talking about Debo Samuels, how Debo Samuels is the X factor of the 49ers.

He gave this statistic and I just want to say why I find it like a little problematic, if I may.

Also, Debo Samuels is like injured and they don't know if he's going to play with him.

Right, that's why they were talking about him.

They said with Debo Samuels, they win 70% of their games.

Without Debo Samuels, they are eight and nine.

And I just like need, if you're going to give me a stat.

Wow.

If you're going to give me a stat, no, I need percentage and percentage because like what's eight and nine in percentage?

How far off is that from 70?

Eight and nine.

So you win one, you win eight and you lose nine?

I feel like that's like 60-40.

40 being the wins.

Right.

I just I need a percentage percentage.

Okay, wait, hold on.

So it's 17.

If you win eight out of 17 games, what percentage is that?

Okay, eight over 17 equals X over 100.

So

eight times 100.

800 divided by 17.

47.

47.

That's a significant drop.

Versus 70%.

Okay, so thank you.

That would have been really more impactful.

That's funny.

No, I agree.

Like, I think when we're talking about the Niners, like as a society, we need to be speaking more about Debo Samuel.

Yeah.

So

Zach was saying that

Brock is a function of the team.

And so I say, he's a byproduct.

So I say, why don't they invest in a quarterback?

He said, well, one, they're spending the money elsewhere.

And two, like, they're investing in Brock.

Like, they think that he could be their franchise quarterback in time.

I kind of love that.

I like it too.

And look what he's done.

By the way, look what he's done in the first two years.

It seems to work.

Yeah, no, you're right.

And so I just want to say, though, kudos to us because everybody keeps making fun of us.

Like we know nothing about sports, yada, yada, yada.

We had a take that was then regurgitated.

Not that they stole it from us.

Like obviously he came to the conclusion on his own that like Brock is not at the same caliber, yada, yada.

He kind of like said what we said in a much more harsh way on a real ESPN show.

So the next time you want to say that the toast is in a sports cast, grab a spoon and eat my ass.

I just want to say, I didn't know Brock wasn't at the same caliber.

I learned that from you.

I would have thought like Brock on, I was still living in last year where he was Jeremy Lynn.

Right, the thing is, last year it was a fluke because he wasn't supposed to be playing last year.

The real quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, got injured, and then it was like, oh, the season's over.

But then this kid had his Jeremy Lynn moment, made it all the way to the NFC championships, and it was like this fun thing.

And I guess you're right.

They decided to invest invest in him instead of going to the draft and getting another, you know, great quarterback and trying to, they, or trade for someone like an Aaron Rodgers, they are investing in Brock.

And it's nice.

Oh, except apparently the head coach of the 49ers tried to get Tom Brady to come and play for them.

Well, he's the exception, of course.

And he's from the Bay Area.

Yeah, no, no, no.

I don't think that's a slight against Brock.

No, no, no.

But then they'd be Super Bowl slingers.

Yeah, but I don't know.

I just feel like winning a Super Bowl with Tom Brady, it's like, it doesn't matter.

It means less.

I completely agree.

No, I want these guys to prove it for them.

Like, and I feel like they would feel the same.

Like, cause everyone would think they won because of Tom Brady when I think that they could win on their own.

I know.

I just, I really need, like, I feel like Brock is so young.

And when he messes up, it's not for like lack of skill or lack of talent.

It's like nerves and anxiety and like mental stuff.

I really, I don't know.

I wonder if Brock has a woman in his life, but I actually do think if he doesn't, a good woman would really,

I think settle his brain a little bit, you know?

And a good, I'd like a good toaster woman, I think.

Yeah, of course.

No, of course.

And we have a lot of, you know, really religious Christian toasters, and that's what Brock is definitely looking for.

And so I can recommend a bunch of girls that I know.

But also, like, you know, he lives with roommates.

Like, he's like young.

I feel like he's not in his sort of like serious settle-down area.

I think that's what he needs, for real.

Like, I think he needs to go on Christian Mingle, like, dead serious, find like a really nice girl who's not in it for the fame, not in it for the money.

Well, actually, it's probably hard to be a Christian and a football player because like your games are on Sunday and like so is church.

But I'm sure he has like, you know, a pastor.

There's like satellite Zoom church.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Those mega churches, like, they have these amazing streams.

Yeah.

Just kind of like freaking Fred.

Right, right.

Ours is a little more high quality than like, you know,

Hillstone.

Hill's Hillsong.

But, you know, similar, similar.

And we kind of do the same thing.

We like sing and preach.

But I do think a woman.

Singing and preaching, preaching and singing.

I do think Purdy needs a girly.

We need a girly for Purdy.

Okay.

And by the way, he's like extremely handsome.

No, like you'd be lucky to have him.

Yeah, he's on his way to getting like a $500 million contract.

Like, maybe not 500, maybe 300, but like, he'll be fine.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Well, I'm so excited for this weekend.

Like, football is life.

I know what Danny Reyjos was saying now.

Like, football is life.

Yeah, we're going to have like a big BBQ here.

Shapiro was texting.

I think he likes my grill.

So we're going to grill here.

Okay, wait.

Also.

I saw like, because now I'm on conspiracy theory NFL talk.

And, you know, the NFL is like really doing everything they can to make make sure the Chiefs win this weekend against the Ravens.

And I heard that they hired like the ref that was assigned to this game is like notorious for going really easy on the away team, which is the Chiefs.

That's like his thing, this guy.

Now, I don't know if that's true because again, I'm new here and I was just reading this conspiracy theory on TikTok, but it'll be interesting because like based on records and based on everything, like the Ravens should win this game.

It'll be tight, but they should win.

I don't know.

I feel like the Chiefs, when they're at their best, they win everything.

Yeah, but like their record isn't amazing this year and they've lost like a big, like a good amount of games.

Yeah.

Okay, let's get into the stories because we do have some like football adjacent stuff and

we have dear toasters because it's Wednesday.

True.

Our first story,

Trailer News.

That's their couple name, right?

Travis and Taylor.

Trailer, like, does sound like

a mobile home.

Yeah.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I don't know if that's a good thing.

It's not like the most like romantic

game.

I've heard Tavis.

Tavis.

Both really not giving romance.

Okay, let's think about like Swift and Kelsey.

Swellsey, Kift.

Not great.

It's not great.

Taylor and Travis.

Anyways, New Heights dropped and...

Oh, I meant to watch it this morning.

I forgot.

Jason and Trav are talking about the big game.

What's so crazy is that not only are the biggest stars in the world having a romance on the biggest stage in the world, but that there's also a podcast component where he does a podcast every week and like talks about these things.

No, no, he's like, we're getting the tailored love story in first person.

In real time.

It's really crazy.

And honestly, I love it.

I think it's so great for the podcasting medium.

I think it so legitimizes us.

I love that like they blew up and what they decided to do with their, you know, fame and time was start a podcast.

Like I love it.

No, but it's also wild that he talks about his relationship.

Well, of course.

And it's wild that like she lets him.

And I think it really,

I think for a lot of people, it makes them think about her previous relationship and how private it was and how that maybe wasn't her

choice.

But she's always been really private with relationships, even before Joe.

I feel like she always was that person, but this one just feels different because he's just like America.

Like America feels like they own him.

Like they own him.

No, and also you can't like put him in a box.

You can't tell him to like be cool.

Like he's not coy.

No.

But Travis Kelsey, what's the symbol for equals with a slash between?

Does not equal coy.

Travis Kelsey does not equal Joe Koi.

That's true.

Yeah.

Anyways, they're talking about Bill's Chiefs game.

Travis said that Taylor absolutely loved meeting Jason after Kylie told Jason to be on his best behavior.

So in a new new episode, it was confirmation that those two had never met, which is kind of crazy.

Jason and Kylie had never met Taylor.

I assumed Kylie had it, but I thought maybe Jason had.

Right.

But no, in a new episode of their podcast, I guess he's been working all season, you know, not traveling, taking stuff seriously.

They reviewed the game where the Chiefs beat the Bills and debriefed Jason's multiple viral moments from the evening.

So Jason said, quote, I wanted to take everything off and be out there with the fans.

He said he had been wanting to go outside and, quote, take my shirt off and be out there.

i feel like taking your shirt off is a buffalo bills thing i wanted to take everything off and be out there with the fans it is a buffalo bills thing like those fans are insane as for what kind of impression it made on taylor who joined jason and his wife kelsey in the suite uh jason uh travis said that tay said she absolutely loved you he said your best first impression is the worst impression ever They also, the shirtless antics had been discussed between Jason and Kylie before the game took place.

He said, I'm not going to lie, I gave Kylie a heads up.

The moment we get into the suite, I said, I'm taking my shirt off and jumping out of that suite.

And she said, Jason, don't you dare.

But Travis said, once a Kelsey man's determined, there's no fucking stopping him.

Jason said, she was already telling me to be on my best behavior because we were meeting Taylor.

So she's like, do not be on your best behavior.

I was like, Kylie, the first day I met you, I was blackout drunk and fell asleep at the bar.

And then he said, this is part of the charm.

This is part of the Jason Kelsey charm.

I want to make my best first impression.

And then Travis also said that he wanted to see more Kylie content from the game.

He said there was not enough cameras on the suite where you can see Kylie.

I wanted to see her reaction to all of that so bad.

No, it's true.

Like I needed like a full 360 camera.

Everyone kept moving around.

Like that's the thing about a suite.

It's like your seat is not really your seat.

You get up, you get a drink, you get a snack, someone takes your seat, you take another one.

Like it's low-key annoying because even though everyone complains like, oh, they only showed Taylor so many times, like it wasn't enough.

Yeah, and I think Kylie was wanting to be low-key.

So we didn't get all the reactions.

She stayed in the back.

But Jason said, I don't think she was happy about it, to to be honest with you but i think for kylie that's just a day in the life of mrs kelsey i agree like i don't think she's actually mad she married a football player like that's what they do no and it's also always the wife everyone else like thinks the husband's behavior is like so funny la ha ha ha it's always the wife who's gonna be like oh my gosh my husband You just said a mouthful there, sister.

That's true.

Everyone's like, oh, how charming is he?

And the wife is like, can we go home now?

I'm going to kill you.

No, it's like not charming when you do it every single day.

You know?

Yeah.

When it's your reality.

It's like a once-in-a-fun time thing.

No, it's also like low-key funny.

Now we're like pulling the veil back.

Like I saw that moment and I thought to myself, oh, how funny.

He just got like caught up in the moment.

You know, so much energy, so proud of his brother.

He's in Buffalo.

It's like so many high-stakes tailors here.

Now knowing like he planned on doing it and like it wasn't this sporadic thing, it's like, oh no, I know why Kylie thinks he's annoying.

Like

he thought this out, Loserville.

Like, not that he thought, I think he's a very genuine person, but it's like, of course, when this sort of thing happens in her like every single single day it's always the wife who's trying to rein in her husband you know everyone else can enjoy it i'm sure ben does things where it's like everyone's like ben so funny and you're like can you stop no actually i

but like ben is funny but he's not like the funny one in the relationship like if you were to say like oh they would say like claudia no no even like zach when he like tells all his jokes like everyone's like ha this is so funny and i'm like oh by the way

You're a better example because your husband like makes so many jokes.

Yeah.

And for everyone, it's like, it's so fun jokes all the time and you've heard this joke a thousand times no for me it's like it's so not fun jokes all the time

jackie there's literally an episode of friends like that yeah they they meet this let me tell you please but even for you it's like ben's cooking it's like how amazing like ben cooks for us and you're and we're like oh my gosh ben cooked and for you it's like can you stop cooking no it's the most annoying thing on the planet only because he doesn't know how to clean like at the cooking yeah it's nice to get a meal do you know how much work i have to do afterwards you don't even like the cooking no it's fine it's good like Tuna salad, chicken salad.

No, but he did make me that Crunch Rap Supreme.

Oh, right.

And you didn't talk about it on the toast.

I didn't.

No, because you did so much content like on IG.

I'm sure you put it to bed, but you didn't even tell me like, was it everything you hoped for?

It was really good.

Like really good.

You need to have him make it.

I'm going to.

We've been sending like a lot of content back and forth of things that he and I are going to be collabing on.

And I'm actually really glad that he did a test run on the Crunch Trap Supreme because he learned a lot.

The hard part, the really hard part is wrapping it.

that looked hard and it wasn't an amazing wrap but we now know we need like smaller tostadas and the biggest fucking tortilla you could find got it so we're gonna have to do like a major publix haul

ring it up We're gonna be together so soon.

I was actually thinking about that the other day because I was thinking that you have a dog, which is so crazy because I don't.

And I was thinking that when I come to your house, I think I'm gonna like kind of pretend Bruno's my dog.

Like, I think Bruno should sleep with me and everything.

i i would love that i know brew would love that and i'll of course walk him and i'll feed him like i think he should be my dog for for the time being that's totally fine bruno would love that he loves anyone who's going to give him extra love and extra scratchies yeah and i haven't i hadn't you know thought about where i was going to stay because you know you and olivia both run a uh a good hostel a good bargain you know

and

why it's free for me and i get treated like a queen oh okay okay understood and there's just so many good options now it's of course, easier to stay with you because the studio's right there and we podcast together.

But, like, okay, I could take the five-minute walk and, you know, take a golf cart.

And stay at Liv's.

And I'm not going to lie, like, Livia does have better snacks than you.

She does.

I'm just going to say that.

But then I remembered the Bruno factor.

And I think I need to be near a dog.

Like, I really do.

Like, I think living with a dog will bring me like immense joy.

And I'm going to stay with you for like two weeks.

So.

Which whatever works for you.

Because if not, then Satchel stays with me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

las gnolias it's it's overwhelming the amount of like really good options i have all combinations and permutations work for me so you

what if somebody that olivia and then like took bruno with me is that an option or that's like too crazy it's like i'll see him yeah yeah yeah okay and bruno loves adventure bruno loves being over there the kids like michael and levi love brew so

all good okay even though brew and michaela like do have like ancient beef oh because the one time that he pushed her down like Like, Michaela was what, one and a half.

She was like newly walking, and Olivia and her family walked into the house.

We were already there.

We were so excited.

Bruno, we ran to the door to give them all hugs.

And Michaela walked in, and Bruno like jumped up on her to give her love, but they literally weighed the same amount.

And he pushed her down.

It was low-key so funny.

No, Bruno loves testing like new child walkers.

Like, really?

How good is your balance?

Not, actually.

I never said it was.

I don't know how we got so far from the story, but, oh, Super Bowl.

Food.

Of course.

Always.

It all comes back to food.

So it went well.

The meeting of the in-laws went well.

I need to, I'm going to watch this episode.

They do this actually pretty smart thing where they release the podcast episode whatever, Wednesdays, whenever it is.

Like early in the morning, so you can listen to it on your commute or whatever.

But if you want to watch it, they do like a live YouTube premiere.

It's always at like 9.30, which is a little late.

So I had had meant to watch it today so I could talk about it, but who has the time?

I know.

And I'd so much prefer to watch it.

Like I need to see Travis's face when he says Tay.

I need to see everything.

He also talked about why he calls her Tay.

He also talked about why he did this.

The heart.

Yes.

Like he was pretty vague, but he was like, I was spreading love because

the Bills fan had booed Tail Her.

Tail Her.

Oh, yeah, they had, but.

So he said this was about spreading love.

No fucking way.

Like, that's fearless.

Everyone knows that.

Of course.

No.

And by the way, there is literal footage of Taylor Swift at the, of Travis Kelsey at the Errors tour when she sings Fearless and then she does that little spin thing and puts her hands up and everybody else does the heart hands.

He's literally like in the booth with the dad putting his hands up in heart hands.

Like, please.

Of course, it's tailored inspired, but he also just made it like a bigger message of spreading love.

Yeah, always a good message.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Next story, still part one of trailer news, which is that Taylor had a GNO last night with the sweet crew, including Car Delavine and Brittany Mahomes.

They went out for dinner, and I just have to say, best dressed.

Brittany Mahomes stepped her pussy up.

Brittany Mahomes, best dressed.

That hair.

The hair, the fit, the bag, the everything.

She looks like...

A star.

A million bucks.

She looks.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That was my takeaway as well.

She stole the show, and there's like a paparazzi video of them walking.

We saw all the pictures, but it's always fun to watch the actual walk from the restaurant to the car and then like seeing how the photos end up.

And her hair is just bobbing in the wind.

I don't know who the fuck did her hair, but it is this magnificent blowout that's just moves in the wind.

It was so gorgeous.

She stole the show.

Who makes the fit?

Like, we need all the details.

I was not expecting that.

No.

10 out of 10.

10s across the board.

I love this outfit for anyone.

And for her, I love so much.

No notes.

I wouldn't change a thing.

Not one thing.

And I think it's interesting that they came back to New York.

I guess they like can't, this week, like they won't be like spending a lot of time with the guys because they're obviously like in major training mode.

And the game is in Baltimore.

So I guess it kind of makes sense that they would stay in New York.

Patrick and Travis definitely went back to Kansas City.

Yeah.

And they didn't go with them.

Yeah, so no, that's nice that like Taylor's looking after Brittany.

I wonder if she stay, if they're all staying together.

They're definitely not.

Maybe she lent that Tri-Back apartment that Sophie Turner was using to Britney and the kids.

Right.

Oh, Brittany has multiple kids?

Two.

Two.

How nice.

Yeah.

The more I learn about Brittany Mahomes, she's like this weirdly polarizing figure.

The more I learn, the more I like.

I'm sorry.

No, I like her.

She and she's really like a regular girl.

And that's why I think this outfit was so jarring for so many people because she really always dresses like a really cute girl that you knew in college.

Yeah.

She dresses really young and fresh, not ever like super cheery.

Not like celebrity stylist.

She just dresses like a cool girl who shops at Aritzia.

It's like kind of relatable, even though her husband makes $500 million.

Yeah.

And this was like a, she got a stylist.

And you know what?

Like her life has changed.

She's allowed.

And honestly, I respect like getting a glam squad, like a different, like an elite glam squad.

I'm sure she got the hookup from Taylor.

She's never been paparazzi like this in her life.

She needed new clothes.

She went to Bergdorf's.

It's a lot.

Like, I'm okay with it.

No, and she's still the everyday girl because this is what the everyday girl would do if in this situation.

She got paparazzi'd enough times, like in her usual wear.

And she's like, you know what?

I'm treating myself.

And it's Britney's turn now.

Yeah, no, I mean, she was in those paparazzi photos with like, Gigi Adid, Selena Gomez, like, sorry, you need a stylist at some point.

And she didn't look.

No, but she didn't.

No, no, but it's okay to ask for help.

No, and it's like, no, I never saw those pictures.

So I was like, and I thought Brittany needed help.

I actually thought she held her own, especially because all those girls, especially Taylor, I don't think Taylor has a stylist.

They dress, they wear like, it's not like Taylor does have a stylist.

Oh.

Yeah.

And it's.

I feel like, why do you know that?

And Liz Haidt is always posting, like...

Oh, that she does have a stylist?

Yeah, it's this guy.

And I think you really, I don't like to blame stylists because stylists work off of a person's aesthetic.

And like, you know, no one's really going to get into something they don't like.

Their own personal style is always infused with the stylist's work.

And it's like the one thing about Taylor's like recent...

renaissance and like shot shot to you know this level of stardom i don't think she ever dreamed of that hasn't changed.

And it really needs to.

Like her, her stylist, like the one thing about her entire brand that's not perfect.

Everything else is perfect.

The music is perfect.

That's why I thought she didn't have a stylist.

And I should, I actually thought it was like, I thought it was kind of commendable.

Yeah, that like she doesn't think so hard about those things.

No, she has a stylist.

I'm going to tell you his name.

Because I was going to say that group, even though they're like the biggest stars in the world, Blake Lively, the notoriously does not have a stylist.

Yeah, but you know what, Blake Lively has a sense of style.

Right.

Selena Gomez probably has a stylist, but I wouldn't say she's incredibly stylish.

So it's like Brittany was

totally meshing with the group and then she just decided like, I'm going to be the number one girl in this group.

Taylor's stylist is named Joseph Castle Falconer and he posts like every picture of Taylor, everything, his entire work.

Oh, I need to go look.

He has other clients too, like this girl.

I don't know her, but every other, literally every single photo is Taylor Swift, and that's it.

Joseph Castle.

Yeah, but he did do the Aristotour costumes because he seems to be posting those like as if they're his own work.

And the Aristotour outfits were amazing.

Okay, no, no, no.

Okay, so this, I'm glad I looked this up.

So she has a stylist when she does like big red carpet events, clearly.

Yes.

Yeah.

Does she have a stylist when she goes out to dinner?

That's what I thought she doesn't have a stylist for.

That's actually a very good distinction because none of the photos are like her street style photos.

Her street style seems to be chosen by her.

But by the way, he has photos with Taylor.

You know, I'm down in 2021.

So he really is like a lifelong partner of hers.

And she's never had exceptional style.

Really, I think there are minute sleighs here and there, but there's nothing that comes to mind that's like jaw-dropping.

Yeah.

And there's no reason.

I liked her most recent Golden Globes.

That's like one of my favorites.

Yeah.

Loved.

Yeah, here he is in 2020.

Like, I think this is her OG stylist.

And I kind of love that she like sticks with the the person who she likes her style

yeah but it it should be and it could be better but she's happy with it i i really respect that like not everyone has to be like

walking the catwalk high fashion at all times and that's why i like that it seems as though and i'm going to continue to choose to believe that like for dinners and street styles she picks out her own clothes I think that would be commendable too, but I don't think that it's

pictures of her in the streets.

I don't know.

I don't know.

But I think someone helps her get ready.

Because even the outfits that I don't love when she goes out to dinner and stuff, they're still like styled.

Like a normal person can put on clothes and like look cute, but they can't really style an outfit to perfection in terms of like jewelry and everything.

Like

top to bottom.

Yeah.

But back to Brittany, Slade, the house down.

Slade the house down.

That's the headline here.

They went out to dinner, Brittany Slade.

Yep.

Our next story.

And they went to Nobu.

Oh, is that where they went?

I was, which one?

Downtown.

Cool.

Our next story.

Ryan Gosling calls out the Oscars over Greta Gerwig and Margo Robbie Barbie snubs, saying there's no Ken without Barbie.

So as we reported yesterday, Ryan Gosling was nominated for best supporting actor for his work on Barbie, and Greta Gerwig was not nominated as best director, and Margo Robbie was not nominated as best actress.

Yeah.

So he said, he put out a statement thanking for the nomination.

It's an honor to be nominated, but he said there is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margo Robbie, the two two people most responsible for this history making globally celebrated film.

No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit, and genius.

He explained to say that he's disappointed that they're not nominated in their respective categories.

He said that would be an understatement.

Against all odds and nothing but a couple soulless, scantily clad, and thankfully crotchless dolls, they made us laugh, they broke our hearts, they pushed the culture and they made history.

Their work should be recognized along with their other deserving nominees.

I just want to say, before we get into the statement, statement, like against all odds and with nothing but a couple hundred million dollars.

Yeah.

Just like, let's just clear that up.

Simu Liu also tweeted, like, everyone's being, you know, ally.

I saw a tweet that I actually thought

was really poignant

because

Barbie was nominated for best picture.

And this tweet says, you know, Barbie getting a nomination for best picture, but not best director is weird because like no one walked away from that movie thinking that was the best movie of the year.

But everyone walked away thinking that was so fun.

They should let women direct big budget movies more often.

So it's like actually making the case, like, why would Barbie, and sorry, that tweet is from Show Me the Yams.

Why would Barbie really ever be best picture?

Like, it's not.

Oh.

It wasn't thought-provoking.

Actually, I agree with the second half of the tweet in the sense that everyone thought like women should get more big director.

But I don't agree with the first part of the tweet.

I feel like a lot of people walked away from that that movie being like that was the best movie ever like

not you and not ben

people like it changed them

i mean yeah i mean let's not get into it because i'm not let's not get into it and just the other thought that i had i saw someone like commented this under ryan's statement they were like okay so who in the best actress category shouldn't be nominated then right and so a lot of people saying this is like a snub to women it wasn't like you know margo robbie didn't get nominated and a man did instead it's a women's category there are are some people who are two separate issues.

Like, Margot Robbie not being nominated for best actress isn't a snub for women because another woman got that nomination.

So, if Margot Robbie shouldn't have been nominated, then who shouldn't have been?

Right.

Who would you take the nomination away from who didn't deserve it?

Right, because her movie wasn't about like Barbie feminism.

Not even that.

Like, which of those actresses wasn't good enough?

And Margot Robbie was better than them.

Like, name names.

Yeah, name names.

We can't all be nominated.

It's true.

Also, like, no one from Killers of the Flower Moon is putting a statement out like this about Leo.

Right, right, right.

But there's like such like long-winded beef between Leo and, because you know what's so funny to me is I forget, you know, on TikTok, they do this thing where they cut up a movie and post it in 50 parts, three minutes each, and you'll watch a whole movie on TikTok.

And I guess the recent movie that went viral was What's Eating Gilbert Grape?

Classic.

Which, if you don't know, is this old, old movie with Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio.

And it's about this really poor family who lives with their mom it's like a bunch of siblings the mom is like 600 pounds and all the kids just pretty much spend their days trying to take care of her and the eldest son who's played by Leonardo DiCaprio has autism and he's like always getting himselves in these situations and they don't really know how to like handle him it's like a it's an amazing movie and LeonardoCaprio pays this like autistic teenager and I remember I was watching this clip of him at the dinner table and the Leonardo's character starts to like have a breakdown and it was the most really like amazing act I've ever seen in my life.

I was like, like wow he didn't even win an oscar for that no what's crazy is he's only won one oscar and it was probably from his most forgettable movie it was the revenant when he has been in so i mean titanic titanic wolf of wall street django

shall we count catch me if you can oh yeah um aviator

really like blockbuster hits that like people will watch for years and years inception it's my favorite movie shutter Island.

Inception is my favorite movie to reference that I've never seen.

Same.

Shutter Island.

No, your favorite one is

Sliding Doors.

Yes.

So much so that I thought you saw it, so I watched it.

He doesn't deserve an Oscar for this, but let's me not forget, Great Gatsby.

He does not deserve an Oscar for that.

I agree.

Gangs of New York.

OG.

No, really.

Like, if you've never seen What's Eating Gilbert Rape, I think it's Leonardo DiCaprio's best work.

Yeah.

And it's just like weirdly star-studded with johnny depp he's so young and so hot like you never saw someone so hot as like 20 year old johnny depp in this movie it's actually a really sad movie like be prepared yeah so you're right there is some sort of beef between leo and the oscars right which is why no one's like releasing a statement and also he's a man so like who cares but right right no no no nobody cares um

But Ryan Gosling, I feel like he kind of had to do.

Yeah, of course.

Something that I'm sure he wanted to

also.

Yeah, everyone's like, it's literally the plot of the movie coming true.

But it's like, it's really not because seven other extremely talented women were nominated.

And like, you making it about Margot Robbie does take it away the accomplishment from those women.

So like.

And it was nominated, if it was snubbed for Best Picture, like that would be crazy.

It is kind of crazy she wasn't nominated for Best Director.

I agree, by the way, because Greta Gerwig is an amazing director.

And I think she directed the movie to perfection.

She also then directed all the affiliate music videos.

And it all had this really cohesive look.

I agree.

I think Greta Gerwig was snubbed more than than margo rabbi yes um

i agree best picture it's like

you know

yeah it's not like a full snubbing it's still one of the most nominated

but i don't know what it is about the barbie movie like it is a polarized like the way the oscars can't release their nominations without it becoming about the barbie movie like people the barbie movie stands need to shut the fuck up they're pissing me off and they're being insanely dramatic oh and i said this on the patreon last night and i actually thought it was like one of my best points yet and i'd like to repeat it if that's okay with you, because I saw this trending TikTok sound that was like a mix of different audios, but it was basically the music instrumentally from the Billie Eilish Barbie song.

So it's like, when did it end?

And then they start playing America Ferreira's like millennial woman feminist monologue that everybody loved from the movie.

And then they start mixing it with Joe Coi's joke about a plastic Barbie doll with boobies.

And everybody's making these videos about how hard it is to be a woman.

And they're like doing their makeup and like crying.

And I just just really can't get over the way like women have reacted to a joke and the joke was bad and it was offensive like i agree like it was a bad joke that was my first thought you're not going to hear me defending this joke but like our reaction to it and i'm sorry not our because i would never your reaction to it like really makes you look so weak and you're like mad at this joke that is like making women look weak and then your reaction is making you look like the biggest fucking loser like it's like almost justifying the joke like stop like you don't if you want people to respect women like stop acting like that yeah no and to be honest and that's not even like my usual reflex when i heard that joke that was like the first thing i said it's yikes yikes misogynistic like the movie is so much more than that like that's really you can write any joke about the biggest movie and that's the joke you write like no yeah but we're like okay it's two weeks later that's no and like we're still we're making trending sounds and like crying and like taking off our makeup and like this is me it's just it's so luxury and it's such a bad way to respond to like, to a joke that everyone agreed, like Joe Kwei got punished.

Like Joe Kui will never work in this town again.

I saw Joe Kwe like doing an interview.

It was so awkward.

I wanted to die for him.

Like he has been handled.

The world handled him.

And so our reaction is now to like, just stay down.

I'm like, look, stay down.

Like, stop, stop.

I can't with some of these bitches.

Send me one of those next time you see it.

No.

I just need to see it.

Okay.

Our next story.

Are you ready for it?

Megan Markle and Prince Harry stepped out last night.

They made a surprise red carpet appearance in Jamaica.

Wait, I see.

I feel like every time they leave the house, I see it.

Right.

They went to the Bob Marley movie premiere in Jamaica.

So there's a new movie about Bob Marley called Bob Marley One Love, and they walk the red carpet hand in hand with Megan in a black ensemble while Harry went for a suit without a tie.

She looked amazing.

I'm looking.

Hold on.

And

she looks gorgeous.

Yeah, truly, truly.

The movie celebrates the life and music of an icon who's inspired generations through his message of love and unity.

Also, Megan and Prince Harry posed with the CEO of Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon at the first time.

Oh, they got a big deal coming through.

It was giving like that Lion King premiere where they're talking to Bob Iger.

I feel like the deal, you know, Disney, I think, ran its course, Spotify and Netflix, and now they're taking their talents to Paramount.

Like it felt exactly like that because really otherwise like what are they doing at a movie premiere across the hemisphere when there's movie premieres in their backyard every day?

No, it's true.

There's definitely like some big partnership going on.

Or Megan is like really close with some of the Marley family relatives.

Maybe.

That's the only thing I can think of.

No, I think it's not business related.

Maybe she's there to support her friends.

I think they've brought attention to this movie that I previously hadn't heard of.

Okay.

And in exchange for some goodwill on that deal coming through with Paramount Plus.

So I'm glad you brought this up because I actually want to talk about this movie because I've seen like five commercials for it.

And at first, I was like, oh, they're making like a Rocket Man type of movie.

It's like the same exact, remember, they copy and pasted Rocket Man to Bohemian Rhapsody.

Bohemian Rhapsody, and now they're drinking it for Bob Marley.

I'm like, oh, this will be good.

I saw this commercial.

I swear to God, it was giving parody.

Like, it looks so fake.

I can't explain why.

Like, community theater vibes.

Like, I was like, let me look really quick.

I was so confused.

Like, the the accent was almost like patronizing and like cliché.

Tell me if you have the same reaction while watching the theater.

Are you getting the gist?

I'm getting the gist.

Yeah, it does look like that same sort of template, but you could tell.

It's made for T V.

It kind of looks like a lifetime biopic.

Yeah, you could tell the scale of a movie like this by how big of a crowd they can get for like those theater scenes.

Like

you only see like maybe like 100 people in the crowd.

It's meant to be like a bigger arena, but like when they did Wembley Stadium for a Bohemian Rhapsody, like they were able to get to match the scale of it.

There's not a lot of scale here, I would say.

Yeah, no, the movie looks like oddly low budget.

And so I was kind of just like chalking it up to being a TV movie, but knowing that it's like Paramount and that Megan and Harry went to support, it's obviously like this big budget film.

And I just thought based on the trailer, I was like, what is this?

It looked like crap.

No, I was like, honestly, Bob Marley's rolling over in his grave.

Give him the Elton John treatment.

Like, he deserves a better movie than this.

Yeah.

I wonder if it'll be in the theaters or just.

No, it's like literally, it's a movie.

That's a Power Mountain Player.

No, I think it's like in the theaters.

It's a real movie.

Well, real movies go onto streamers these days.

Do they?

Maestro.

But we decided that's not a real movie.

Right.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, I just thought that was interesting that they were

out and about, and that's that's where they were.

And I just feel like we'll be seeing them on Power Mount Plus soon.

That's what I think.

I agree.

Are you ready for our next story, A Little Jonas family drama?

Oh, Noah.

Priyanka Chopra

posted and quickly deleted a picture from a double date with Joe Jonas and his new flame Stormy Brie.

What picture?

Priyanka posted and then quickly deleted a photo from what appeared to be a double date with her brother-in-law Joe and his new flame Stormy Brie.

The snapshot, which quickly appeared on her Instagram story on Monday, showed four hands clinking champagne flutes at a restaurant.

One hand in the picture had the same tattoo that the model has on her right hand, which was enough to convince fans that Nick and Priyanka were spending time with the rumored couple.

Like these four hanging out is like not shocking.

No, sorry.

Wait, I want to restart my sentence.

Reset.

Joe having like a new girlfriend, like we know it's not like a big secret.

It's not a big deal.

For me, the most shocking part of this story is that like Nick and Joe are hanging out in their private time like with their girlies.

Like I am like a conspiracy theorist and I feel like these two hate each other right

so my biggest takeaway from this story is like oh no they're actually on a double date like you wouldn't do that with someone you like are dying to get away from oh no I feel like they just have like classic sibling especially when it comes to the business like just like sibling rivalry stuff but it makes me feel like

maybe there was I feel like if Priyanka loves Sophie like she wouldn't be like so Yeah, quick with it.

It's honestly, I was thinking about that too.

It's actually a really tough spot for Priyanka to be in because I think she did love Sophie and I think they're good friends.

But, like, at the end of the day, like,

Nick is her family.

No, Nick's family.

She's not going to be.

She's got to move on with them.

Like, she's got to stay with them.

Like, that's family.

And you can stay in touch, of course, but you're not going to be best friends.

I know, but like, Sophie is also family still.

Like, that's her daughter's auntie.

And are you still an aunt?

I think so.

Okay.

And

she is the mother of Priyanka's nieces.

Right, yeah.

That one, they're still Priyanka's nieces because Joe is still her brother.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, the other actually.

The other one is a little more tenuous.

Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

She's still the mother of Priyanka's nieces.

So she's still family.

Yeah.

Like, I think if Priyanka, like, wanted to hang out with Sophie still, like that.

It would be fine.

It'd be okay.

And I think it would be kind of nice.

Me too.

And she can still get the kids together.

And by the way, I've never been like divorced, but I do think for a lot of people who marry into like big families and everyone's married, part like you stay.

And if you love that family, it keeps you married for longer.

Like you don't want to leave the family and the in-laws.

The Jay sisters.

Exactly.

It makes the whole marriage more fun.

Yeah.

A lot of people write into deer toasters that like they miss their

in-laws.

Yeah.

So I think it's not so quick to remove it.

But the fact that she would post this,

maybe she just thought she was posting like a cute picture and was looking for content.

And like, didn't want to make herself the center of like something when it was just not.

Yeah, like she didn't even realize what she was doing.

I could see that for Prie because she doesn't seem like

so zeroed in on social media.

Like, what does everything mean all the time?

Yeah, no, she's like an older woman with kids and a life.

Yeah, and she just like posts and doesn't think too much about it.

So I don't think this like means that much.

Like she's anti-Sophie or that like

Joe or

super serious I think she just made a guffaw so funny actually like ever since stormy breeze what's her name Brie Stormy Bree came into my life now on my tick tock I guess like a lot of people went searching for her ex Lucky Blue and now Lucky Blue's with this new girl the new Lucky Blue's like new wife they make a lot of content together she's all over my tick tock now she basically is in her kitchen in full glam, like looking so gorgeous, making the most delicious food you've ever seen in her life.

Homestead style.

She makes her own bread she makes her own peanut butter and she makes her own jelly yeah yeah i saw that yeah yeah yeah she's homesteader love we love a trad wife yeah

yeah and she's pregnant right yes it's giving ballerina farm yep

Our fifth and final story, Kathy Hilton and her husband Rick have a once-a-week date at the Cheesecake Factory.

I thought you were going to say divorce.

Oh, no, that wouldn't be a fifth story.

You know it's going to be like some tabloid nonsense.

Yeah.

Kathy and Rick's go-to date spot is surprisingly low-key.

She told Page 6 that we go to the Cheesecake Factory once a week.

He really likes the chicken fettuccine Alfredo and then also the one that you dip with the sauce.

She said all their food is good food and she likes to order the meatloaf.

She said, where else can you get a meatloaf?

Okay, order the worst thing on the menu.

Go off, queen.

She loves their meatloaf.

They go there once a week for the meatloaf.

She said she doesn't indulge in any of their famed cheesecakes and but she does enjoy their dessert offerings okay by the way when she said we like those little things that you dip she's definitely talking about those avocado wraps you know that everybody loves oh is that it for sure what else would it be i'm gonna need to i haven't been to a cheesecake factory in so long i don't think you know what i like the one by your house is i'm looking if there's one by my house and it's so kid friendly though like you i could not say one bad thing about the cheesecake factory like they have crayons high chairs like sippy cups.

It's so kid-friendly.

I think I have to go.

Take the family.

And you know who loves Cheesecake Factory?

Our brother-in-law, Zach Shapiro.

He'll go with you anytime.

Zach Shapiro just texted us.

You didn't check your phone, or did you?

No.

Something really funny.

He said, Taylor Swift just met Jason Kelsey last weekend.

That feels fishy.

Oh my God.

Totally agree.

No, I love Shapiro.

Like Shapiro, us getting into sports is the best thing to ever happen to Shapiro.

Like him and I are always sending each other now like sports stuff.

But also like Taylor Swift getting into football like is also the best thing to happen to you

for Shapiro.

He's in your sphere and you're in his.

I think.

I'm dying.

I saw a headline that actually Taylor Swift like being in the football world has brought a lot of fathers and daughters together.

I saw that too.

Because they now like want to watch the game

that their dads are watching and they like talk about it.

That is really cute and really beautiful.

So sweet.

Wait, back to Cheesecake Factory.

I couldn't really say anything negative about Cheesecake Factory, even if I wanted to.

I think it's the most beautiful.

You think Disney's the most magical place on earth?

Go to the Cheesecake Factory.

Like, you're going to love it.

The food is never, never fast.

It's been in my life, but just not in a long time.

No, I know.

I just feel like we had this conversation about the girl who was mad about the

guy who was going to take her on a date to the Cheesecake Factory.

Remember?

Yeah.

You know what I'm talking about?

Sort of.

She went viral.

She went viral for saying, like,

right.

Like, that's not a date place.

Right.

Was taking her on a first date to the Cheesecake Factory.

And she's like, absolutely not.

And it sparked this debate online.

Like, is the Cheesecake Factory an acceptable?

What's not acceptable?

Yeah.

Full bar, romantic lighting, you know, Mediterranean style decor, delicious food, a skinny,licious menu, amazing staff, like delicious dessert, even though I never partake in dessert ever because I don't like cheesecake.

You don't like cheesecake.

That is not surprising.

Even though they have like a regular dessert menu too, like a brownie.

But the thing with the

successful restaurant, like you should be full.

And you want to make a dessert.

The food is so nourishing and delicious.

Like by the time I'm done, I don't need more.

For sure.

Perfect.

I don't always order dessert, but like I do need a little something sweet after my meal.

Even if it's just a sucker from my bag, like I need need to cap it off.

Yeah.

So me and my friends, like from high school, we try to do dinner like once a month and we always go to the same restaurant.

And they for dessert obviously offer like berries and fruit, but it comes with cream, like whipped cream.

And let me tell you, it's the perfect apertif.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, sometimes like the dessert from, I don't need a cake.

I don't need like a whole dessert plate, but like I need a Werthers.

But sometimes I do need a cake.

I need a Hershey's kiss.

Sometimes I do need a whole cake.

And places like the Cheesecake Factory, I just will never forget.

You know BJ's Brew House?

I feel like it's a really underrated.

Or was it Yard House?

No, it was BJ's Brew House.

It's kind of like a smaller chain, similar to like Applebee's kind of, but a little bit more refined.

They have this dessert.

It's like a cookie in a pan, you know, with an ice cream on top.

Skill it.

10 out of 10.

So good.

That I need every time.

I'm also new to Yard House.

Yard House is not huge in New York, but I discovered it when I was on tour.

For a lot of people, it's like their Cheesecake Factory.

I do think it's kind of better.

just because Cheesecake Factory is like such a big company, like they have a little bit quality control issue.

Just yeah, the things get lost, the details.

Yard House, I think, is like still at the level where like they're maintaining some sort of quality control.

And Ben and I went after my ski lesson.

Right.

And you order on iPads.

And let me tell you, and we happened to be there at five o'clock, so it was happy hour.

Our food came in 30 seconds.

We had like two drinks, two appetizers, and two entrees for actually $25.

Like it was really, and they're known for their beer.

They do these like yards.

Was it actually $25?

Yes.

Maybe $30.

Because everything, the appetizers and drinks were all half off for happy hours.

So we literally ended up only paying for our entrees.

It was just like Yard House doesn't get enough love.

No glove, no love.

Well, that's what we're here to do.

And we're also here to do Deer Toasters, our weekly advice segment.

Wait, we're done with the stories?

Yeah, yeah, all done.

Time to move on.

Our weekly advice segment where you can write it to us to people who you look up to, and we could literally give you advice on what's going on in your life.

So you can submit at deartoasters at gmail.com.

That's the email account deartoasters at gmail.com.

We'll keep your shit anonymous, don't worry.

And you could write in about anything from work stuff to relationship stuff to finance stuff.

We actually recently had a lot of finance ones.

I guess it's Q1 people are trying to get organized for the year.

So here are our submissions.

You ready?

Mm-hmm.

Hi, ladies.

Here's the thing.

My boyfriend is 36 and he's been getting Botox in his forehead for several years.

Is it just me or does this seem a little self-involved for a guy?

The men in my family couldn't be further from the Botox type.

so it is a little strange to me that my boyfriend gets shot up more than I do.

He also tries to hide it from me, along with a lot of other things he has hidden from me over the years.

Thoughts?

Well, we can get into the Botox thing, but I just want to say, based on your inquiry, I feel like you don't trust your boyfriend.

Like, what else is he hiding from you?

And the lying is weird, by the way.

Yeah, lying is always weird.

Yep, because Botox is not like the biggest thing in the world.

Your face relatively looks the same.

Oh, yeah, but it is like a little self-indulged for a man to do.

Not like

Tom Sandoval.

Yeah, that's exactly what it's giving.

Like shaving your forehead, taking more time to get ready than your girlfriend.

Like there are metrosexual men who are very concerned with their appearance.

It doesn't bother me.

I don't know if I would find it attractive, but that's like a personal thing.

Right.

But there seems to be like an underlying issue here with this dude that like he hides stuff from you.

Yeah.

But I could see getting the ick from a man getting Botox.

No, for sure.

Especially at 36, where it's like those lines are like, that's a good age.

You know, maybe later in life, I could,

it would be more understandable, but like 36-year-old man getting Botox, like, is it yeah, and it's so different because, like, honestly, we live in a world where like the older a man gets, if he's like good-looking, like, he just gets more and more good-looking.

Like, I really believe that.

So, what are you doing?

Yeah, like you've been given a gift.

And honestly, this makes me my red flag here.

It's not that he gets Botox, it's that he obviously has very poor judgment.

Like, you've been given a gift and you're taking a dump on it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't like it.

I don't like it either.

Honestly, break up with your boyfriend.

Yeah, yeah, because I'm bored.

Okay, next up, I actually really like this one, another, a little finance.

Hey, sisters, I'm having a major SOS.

I got married a little over a year ago, and I've started to realize that my husband's mother watches over every financial move we make.

My husband's family is pretty well off, and I'm the luckiest of the lucky to say that I get to be a stay-at-home mom because of that.

But my mother-in-law apparently has all of our financial information at hand.

I'm really starting to have an issue with the lack of, shall I say, privacy.

We can barely buy new furniture or a weekend trip without myself or my husband getting a text or call asking what we bought.

I know I should be grateful for the money that we have, but am I wrong for feeling weird about the fact that she knows everything about my life financially?

You're not wrong for like feeling weird.

That's a tough spot to be in, but like money comes with strings.

This is the price you pay.

This is the price you pay.

Would you rather have complete privacy and no furniture or a lack of privacy and gorgeous furniture?

Yeah, and it's not like she's stopping you from buying these things.

She just like wants full transparency and like she wants to give you a pit and because she wants you to know that she's watching money like that's what it means.

Yeah, people are not.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

No, and also like marrying into a wealthy family like could go many different ways.

This isn't the worst one.

Like they're generous, but they're cautious.

No, it doesn't even sound like cautious.

She's just curious.

Yeah, she's like annoying about it, but you still are getting

the things that you want and you're living the life that you want in your stay-at-home mom.

So like that's what it means.

I think maybe work on like you can't control her so maybe control how you are going to react to it just like try not to let it bother you yeah if you just like accept it and me and and

be like this is how it's going to be does it change what you buy like is she putting like limitations on what you can buy or you just have to like run them by just you have to justify it yeah but like okay that's your job you know yeah and i think it's it's really like the price of

gold like yeah that's the job that's how you earn the money.

Yeah, that's the job.

Like you feel uncomfortable, but you know what?

How's that new couch?

You loving it?

Yeah.

Just take the call from your new couch.

There's no such thing as a free couch.

So in terms of what you'd have to be giving up for that couch, this isn't the worst thing in the world.

I know there are definitely in-laws who do worse things.

There's no such thing as a free anything.

Yeah.

So,

because think about it, is it bothering you so much to the point where you don't want to accept the money anymore?

Right.

Until you get to that point.

Because it might.

And at that point, you do what's best for you and your family.

But until that point, like, ride that gravy train.

Totally.

Send those emojis.

Ha ha, new couch.

Send the pic of you on the couch.

Thanks, Gran.

Love the couch.

It's not the worst thing in the world.

No, it's not.

And nothing in life is just like perfect and easy.

And if this is what's going on,

you'll be fine.

This is another third and final submission that's also finance, and I thought it was interesting.

Last year, my boyfriend of five years gave me his credit card information.

And during my solo trip to Europe this year, I used it without his knowledge to book tours and dinners.

I should note, he is a millionaire.

Love that for you.

It sounds like one of my novels.

I later went too far by booking a flight, resulting in his team reporting fraud to the bank.

Should I confess or continue without admitting my actions?

I am seeking advice on how to handle the situation.

The thing is, I'm like all for like running a man for every penny he has, but like this, like Loki is stealing.

Like he gave you his credit card information out of the goodness of his heart and like you a year later using it for something that you he that you just didn't even run by him like it's not cool no it's not stealing like the question is should you be honest that oh that wasn't fraud that was me but it might jeopardize your use of the card or continue on your merry way

and there's other charges like his team sees those other things so like there's an awareness that you're using the card.

Is there?

Because he gave it to her a year ago.

And she used it when he gave it to her and now a year later used it on her trip.

No, but I think, yeah, but just the one thing got flagged.

Yeah, the book tour, the tours and the dinners went unnoticed by his team.

Yeah.

So his team could think like he's going to dinner, but I guess the flight, maybe she flew herself first class.

I think.

It was a little too much.

And that they reported to the bank as fraud.

I think that you should be honest.

One, so that he doesn't like go and change all of his cards, but also like so that he knows that you're using his card and you want to feel good about it.

Like you don't know what he's doing.

No, but he's obviously he's generous.

So why don't you just like learn what's okay and what's not okay?

Yeah, learn where the limit is.

Yeah, like learn because, you know, you used it last year and then you waited a whole year.

Maybe he's okay with you like going out to dinner with your friends and using it.

Like,

what are his limitations?

Also, you don't want to run this man dry.

Like, maybe he doesn't have as much money as you think he does.

Like, find out what he's comfortable with.

Like, this was long overdue.

When he gave you the information, you should have had a conversation about what exactly you're allowed to do with it.

Yeah, no, but you could also trial, find out, try uh, trial by fire, yeah, learn on the job.

I think that if you want the relationship to be successful, like you have to be honest, and like you can't have this much like deception, and you aren't trying to like swindle him, so you should tell him, oh, that wasn't fraud, that was me.

See his reaction.

No, and you do want this relationship to be successful, he's a millionaire, and it's you've been together five years, so you should have honesty.

Yeah, and I, I, I think you'll be more surprised with his generosity if you're honest.

Like getting caught in the lie, like that's going to make him like be like, Icky, she's like, she uses me.

Yeah, but you just being totally upfront, be like, no, I used the credit card you gave me last year.

What's the problem?

Like you being more upfront about it will make you look more normal, first of all.

And second of all, I do think you'll end up with more money from him.

I think it will engender trust.

I agree.

Good.

But getting caught in a lie about money, you're in trouble.

Yeah, no, it's a bad path to go down where you're just like being shady with someone else's money.

Like, and this is the person that you love.

Don't do it.

Don't do it.

Don't drop the ball here.

I'm rooting for you.

Yeah.

I'm rooting for you.

Don't sign a prenup.
