Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the toast.

I am so excited.

It is hump day, which is kind of like an amazing day here at the toast.

And I feel like it's extremely appropriate that I'm joined by Cody Rigsby on this very special hump day.

We love to hump on hump day.

We do.

I hope everyone out there gets to hump a little bit today.

Yeah, someone they love.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I am so excited to talk to you.

I know you've been making the rounds.

Yes.

Your book has come out.

Yes.

XOXO Cody.

And I'm halfway through it.

It's amazing.

Thank you so much.

And of course, like you have this fabulous life.

I think everyone knows you from Peloton.

You were on Dancing with the Stars, and you're kind of just like...

like a celebrity now.

Isn't that so crazy?

It is a little bit crazy.

So when people say it, I'm like,

but you are.

Yeah, no, I'm fully embracing it.

You're a star.

You were on Dancing with the stars.

You know, but some of the stars on that show are questionable, you know.

They definitely, you know, play fast and loose with words.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

You know.

Not you.

We're pivoting the way we define star.

Yeah.

Yes.

I find so much about you so interesting, and I have to give credit where credit is due.

Jackie has really been obsessed with you.

She is a Peloton girl.

Yes, yes, I've heard.

I live in a small apartment, so like I just don't have that luxury, but she lives in a house.

She's a little bit app, you know.

You can, you know, there's body weight classes.

You know, I love a shameless plug.

You You know, we're always gonna find a way to pivot.

You got me there.

Okay.

Um, so she has loved you, and honestly, I was late to the game, and I'm obsessed.

Your book is so good.

I'm only halfway through it, but there's so many interesting stories, and I feel like, of course, you led this fabulous life.

Like we just said, you're a celebrity, but you had this kind of crazy life up until that point, just filled with-I can't believe you worked at the box.

I did, I did.

I'm gonna say, I'm glad that you enjoyed my book because I heard that you think that men can't write books.

I do.

Let me say two things.

So I hope to be the exception to that rule.

Okay, wow, you really got me.

I know, I got you, girl.

Okay, let me say two things.

Uh-huh.

I was really talking about fiction.

Okay.

Okay.

Like, they're not good storytellers.

That's fair.

And, like, let's be real, I was talking about straight men.

Like, fair, double fair.

Like, your writing style.

Forget, forgiven.

Yes!

Your writing style is so funny and quick, and it's like the exact type of book I want to read.

And I love celebrity memoirs.

It's one of my favorite genres.

And I totally give yours my stamp of approval.

Good, good.

Excellent.

And I I really feel like you've learned so much about you and for me like when I look at your life I see so many interesting things like of course I don't I can't even remember like a similar someone to compare you to who really got so famous off of exercise like yeah maybe like a Richard Simmons and I talk about it later in the book yes like a Richard Simmons he really created this platform where he was silly he didn't take himself so seriously he was fun he brought levity to this like kind of scary space i think when people think of fitness or starting a fitness journey, they're like, I don't know what I'm doing.

I'm going to look stupid.

And Richard was like, okay, ladies, get back.

We're going to pump it to the oldies and I'm going to look a fool for you.

So I do kind of pay homage to him in the book and give him credit where credit's due.

It's giving Richard Simmons.

It's also giving Lisa Rinna and her tape.

Yes.

Before or after the filler, you know?

Before.

Okay, good, good, good, good, good.

No, it's so interesting.

And I just, I've loved reading about and about your journey.

But what's so interesting about it, too, is I I feel like you get on every day and there's seven million homes, right?

And you talk.

You talk and talk.

And talk and talk and talk and talk.

And I have so many thoughts on that because, you know, the couple of handful of times I've worked out in my life, like I am not okay.

I have to literally go to the hospital for two hours afterwards.

Seriously, like, how are you?

doing it all in terms of like physical fitness and and were you in this kind of shape before you did your Peloton training?

Okay, so as a kid growing up, I wasn't very athletic.

I've said it before, like I was the tetherball champion of Guilford Middle School.

So that was like the extent of my physical abilities.

I became a dancer, so that is obviously very physical.

And you have to hold a lot of stamina doing that.

But I had never taught a fitness class before.

So like talking, teaching a class, knowing the programming was all foreign to me.

So it took me a lot of time to figure out how to build that stamina.

But also, I was a very eccentric child so i've always been someone that just talks and talks and talks and talks so it wasn't until i realized that like i could be myself and do this little fitness gig and like infuse the two together that i was really able to like find who i was yeah and like kind of do it in a really singular way that i don't see really anyone else

yeah you know yeah and i i really love i was that's what i was shocked to find out in your book is that like you didn't have this crazy fitness background peloton really trained you they saw something in you and i think that's so cool and not what i would have expected I would have expected you were like making waves in the fitness scene,

which I wouldn't have heard about.

Yeah, yeah, no, but like, that's the thing is I, I've been at the company for nine years.

So back then it was just a startup and they were just like trying to find talent and they're like, you're cute, you'll do, you know, so they were willing to take a chance on someone who didn't know what they were doing.

And I also was like, okay, I've got to just figure it out.

Yeah.

And I figured it out.

That was part of your book that really resonated with me.

That's when I knew I liked the book.

It was literally on like page four when you were just like, I'm not going to, you know, be shy.

I knew when I was a a young kid, like, I knew I was a star.

Yeah.

And not to make everything about me, like, I related to that on a deep level.

Like, I really, and I think it's okay to say that.

I absolutely like, I'm special.

Because no one, if you don't say it, other people are not going to.

No one else will.

Yes.

It's so true.

You got to, you got to know that you're a star, baby.

So you talk while you're working out, which to me is just unbelievable.

And you have this unbelievable personality and immediately connected with people.

And you do, and you became known for like a lot of your pop culture tastes.

Yes.

Now, you and I differ

on certain things, and we'll get into that.

I love a healthy debate, especially on pop stars, on pop culture.

Yes, I think it like it just keeps friendships, you know, going.

And it's not that deep.

It's not that deep.

It can get a little nasty, but it all is forgiven.

But you know, I know that you and I will meet in the middle when it comes to Kelly Clarkson.

Okay, all right, all right.

For that, I think we're safe.

Everybody loves Kelly.

The original American Idol.

Literally, America sweetheart.

And this is my hot take on that: is like our country was the most united when we elected Kelly Clarkson as an American.

I was calling.

I was voting.

We picked up the phone on Singular Wireless.

Right.

We dialed up the number and we called 10 times.

I was an Optimum girl.

Okay, Optimum.

Yay.

Did you grow up in the Northeast?

Yeah.

Okay, that's why.

I was in the South.

I was in the South Carolina.

Oh, right.

North Carolina.

But we were doing the work.

We were doing the work.

And I feel good about what we did.

But I do feel like as a nation, we have sort of let Kelly Clarkson down in recent weeks.

I don't feel like she gets nearly the amount of hype that she really deserves as a vocalist, as talent.

Wow.

Like she, she should, and she's huge.

She should be bigger.

I think the gays do.

I agree.

Her and Kelly Ray.

Yes, the gays will give Kelly her flowers and then some.

It's true.

She's also just made this like great pivot where she is like a talk show host.

She's on the, she's on.

on the voice like she is really keeping the NBC network like she's holding it on her back.

I know.

No wonder she's like always tired like she's literally has the whole world on her shoulders yeah and I got to be on her show and was able to tell me everything she was she was amazing it was very quick it was like I arrived

behind her pick she like has a massive pickup truck in the lot so like I got dropped off in front of course

they like whisked me to the green room 10 minutes later they're like you're on and like the doors open and I'm meeting Kelly Clarkson and she's asking me about my life and I'm sure she was a doll but oh amazing incredible but just quick yeah she has no time

going she's a mother She's a singer.

She's a businesswoman.

She's a mogul.

She doesn't have time.

She doesn't have time.

And so you have gotten, you know, so popular and people really tune in because they love your classes, but they really want to hear what you have to say on what's going on in the world.

And I know you've experienced some of your hot takes not being received so well.

And I'm going to ask you a question, and then I'm also going to ask you to move your mic a little closer to your mouth.

Okay.

You can pull it.

Yeah, yeah.

There we go.

How does that make you feel?

Like, does that give you anxiety like when you say something and people like humbling?

Because it does for me.

But people please.

This is fair.

Like,

I think it comes back to, yeah, I'll say yes.

So most of the time, like, my hot text, I'm just like throwing them out there and I don't care.

And I'm just like, you know what?

Like, let's have fun.

Yeah.

I think in the era that we're in,

sometimes really people take things to heart and they're not understanding the tone that you're saying, the sarcasm, the levity, the fun.

Like, we're just trying to have fun and people take it very seriously and then tend to like throw some nastiness at you.

And for the most part, I can take it.

I'm fine.

But yeah, I think once it starts to compile, it kind of gets you.

It gets to you.

And you have to disconnect.

It's so normal.

You have to disconnect and be like, I need, like, let this pass and like, we'll keep pumping.

But yeah.

And I feel like for you, like at the end of the day, your goal is just to like get everyone through their workouts, right?

Yeah, and be silly, be fun.

And it's like, it would be the same conversation like we just talked about.

If we're debating something or being stupid with friends,

it's not going to have any weight.

It's not that deep.

It's not that deep.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I agree with that so I'm really excited to get your takes on a lot of the stories

I know by the way I was cackling when you dedicated your book to Britney Spears.

Yes, the one and only so funny We have a Britney story today I was gonna talk about it anyway, but I would love to hear your

cuz it's an interesting time to be a to be a BJS stan

would you say

Yeah, it's it's getting really challenging for us to like stand for our girl and also be very adamant about the like still hashtag free Britney.

Right.

Because she's free.

Where were you during the Free Britney movement?

I was letting the girls know that like she was under conservatorship.

Like it's been way too long.

People are taking her money.

All true.

Relatives are not treating her well.

Certain Dancy with the Stars contestants name to be named.

Yes.

Wait, was that your season?

No, no, she's on it right now.

Oh, you're right.

Oh my God.

Yeah.

We also have a Dancy with the Stars story.

Well, we'll get to that.

So it's getting hard, but here's my take: is that like, and I hate to use the word like crazy, so i'm not going to use it just like

everyone has the right to be as unhinged as they possibly want yes um

just and as long as like you're not hurting yourself or others then like be as unhinged as you want everyone has the right to be a mess um

so let britney be a mess i will also say this and this is kind of on a more serious note like I take care of my mom and there was a point where I moved her from North Carolina to

Brooklyn and her doctor was prescribing her lithium.

Oh my gosh.

Yeah, and like she became lithium toxic and it really had kind of irreversible effects on her.

And I've been able to like, things are better, but there's definitely like, you know, things that are irreversible within my mom that I've witnessed.

And so, you know, the stories are is that they were prescribing Britney lithium.

And so part of me in a way feels like

where she's at right now isn't necessarily her fault.

No, of course not.

And we need to have a little bit more grace and understanding and compassion.

That being said, like,

I would love to see her stop like shopping at stripper store.

Like, I feel like she gets all her attire that she wears from like the mall.

The mall, like, sex store.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And, like, she got the stripper pole.

Yeah, like, not even.

And, like, honey, I don't, the knives concerned me.

We have a story about the knives.

The knives concerned me.

That actually, I think, like was a,

and she actually gives an explanation and we'll talk about it.

But to me, like, I see her videos.

I'm like, you know what?

It's not what I would do.

No.

But she's enjoying her life.

Yes.

The knives, I think, to me.

Were concerning.

They were.

And I do want to, like, I guess, not that I'm worried about the kids, but like, I know.

If that was my mom, I'd be like,

well, you talk a lot about your family in the book.

And what's so interesting to me is like, I think the first word most people would use to describe you is like out there.

Funny, epithetic.

I'll take it.

Outgoing.

And you've dealt with so much.

And I think a lot of people probably really, I lost my dad too.

So hearing about you experiencing that was really

relatable.

And I think, I think a lot of people would wonder how you maintain that level of outgoing, like we were just saying, effervescent, when you've dealt with what you've dealt with.

I think for me, like life has been hard.

Like I've dealt with homelessness.

My father died when I was young.

My mom had addiction issues.

So life was heavy, but like I embraced that and

forgave a lot of that.

Like forgave my mom for her mistakes.

Also came to kind of understand, and you might not relate to this, like my dad also died of an overdose.

And I kind of

growing up, like was resentful or sad that I didn't have a dad.

But as I grew up, I was like, it was probably for the better that this person wasn't in my life.

It would have made it so much more chaotic.

And how can I really have an attachment to someone that I didn't necessarily know?

So I've kind of like processed that, let it go, and really just tried to find the joy in life.

I think also as a kid growing up with a lot of trauma, I used like comedy and fun

to kind of cope and get through.

And that's been like a defense mechanism, but I think I've also embraced that and just known that that's who I am.

Yeah, I think people, and you know, through no fault of their own, it swallows them up, like especially truth.

And you can either choose to laugh at life and move past it, but sometimes it's hard.

And I think people really look at you and find it very inspiring.

Thank you.

I really do appreciate it.

I always say like, yes, life is hard, but like laugh at it so you can laugh at yourself and you don't give shame or guilt power.

You like, you embrace your own power.

Yeah.

So now that you're an author,

do you have, because this happened to me, like, I had this kind of like, I don't want to use the word like, like, I thought I was better than everyone.

Like, I'm an author.

Are you experiencing that?

Um, no.

Your team is nodding.

Your team is not.

I wanted noted.

Your team is nodding.

I don't think I'm better than anybody.

I think I've elevated and evolved and I think it's a new thing for me era.

Sure, yes.

I mean, I was really excited about being a New York Times best-selling author.

Yes.

Thank you.

Yes.

That really popped off for me and made like all the hard work feel really good.

And that's something nobody can take away from you.

Exactly.

Like that's so legit.

My colleague Toonday was like, it's like getting a doctorate degree.

Like they can't take that.

And anytime you do anything, like if you're going to speak on a panel or something like that.

Yeah, they're going to say that.

They're going to say, fitness enthusiast, New York Times best-selling author, opinionated homosexual, Cody Rigsby.

It's just, it's so silly.

Now, can we just get it on my Amex?

Like, can it just, you know, how they have Doctor on the Amex?

I might know a guy.

Okay, thank you.

You know, Brian Kelly?

Yes.

I feel like he could get away.

Okay, good, good, good, good.

So you're going to join me for all the hot stories of the day.

And then we're going to do, you're very well known for giving advice.

Your book is called XOXO Cody.

You actually give advice in the book.

And you do a segment on Peloton, which I love, called XOXO Cody, where your writers will write in.

So you're going to help me out with that.

And we have a lot of stories that I just want to issue, you know, a bit of a trigger warning.

Our first story is about Taylor Swift.

Okay, here we go.

And one of the things I think a lot of people know about you is you made waves, just kind of, you know, giving your thoughts.

They weren't overwhelmingly positive.

No.

Taylor's just not my girl.

Okay, just kind of set the scene for everyone who might not be familiar with your stance.

Oh, wow.

I just like, Taylor's not my girl.

I don't really react to her music.

I don't really react to like

things that she does in pop culture.

She's just not for me.

Have you tried?

I have.

Okay.

I have.

So I had a boyfriend in college who loved Taylor Swift.

And for the record, like I really did enjoy like the country era.

Like Teardrops on My Guitar,

Tim McGraw.

I really loved that.

I really did.

I love those two songs.

And I will admit here, like, I love Tim McGraw, Teardrops on My Guitar, and for the 1989 girlies, like,

I will say this, like, bad blood does slap.

100%.

It slaps.

I do love that song.

I hate to admit it.

And that's about the extent of my

love for Taylor's music.

I will try and you seem like a smart person.

Like, I can't change your mind.

No, no, no, it's not.

And I'm like that too.

Like, I feel the same way about ACDC and Led Zeppelin.

Like, it's not for me.

You know what I'm saying?

All right, you're taking it a little far.

Okay, okay, there we go.

No, but like, okay, so I'm not going to try and convince you of anything.

I just, I find it so surprising because you clearly like love and ride for so many pop girlies.

Yes.

So who would you say is your number one?

Brittany?

Brittany's my number one, but you know, like she's not putting anything out.

So true.

So like a lot of it's nostalgic.

Yes.

But I think Beyonce at this point is like my number one.

Like she's putting out relevant music.

The last album was really for the girls, gays, and they's.

The Renaissance tour was the best thing I've ever seen.

She's still giving 110%.

Like there's just nobody else out there like her.

I'm going to rattle off some of the pop girlies and you give me like your immediate thoughts.

So we did Beyonce.

Okay, we did Taylor.

Kim Petrus.

Kim Petrus.

Um,

uh, Trailblazer.

Um, I love that I think that's the sound that I want to hear from pop music, but the world doesn't want to hear that.

The world doesn't like pop music.

By the way, that's an amazing take.

Like, she makes great music, but the world doesn't want that.

She makes the best music, like so fun.

She's her vocals are so good.

Yes, that's an amazing call.

Yeah, okay, Lady Gaga, Lady Gaga.

Um,

Like, she, my thing is, like, she really changed the pop stars' fashions.

Yeah.

Before Lady Gaga, everybody was wearing like a dress over a jean, and then Lady Gaga popped off, and everyone was in a bodysuit,

including Beyonce.

Yeah.

Like, go back.

No, I love that.

Like, Beyonce was wearing some choices that Tina Knowles made for her.

And then Lady Gaga said, I'm going to get the girls together.

And everyone was in like

a shoulder pad,

a bodysuit, a platform,

a ba-bang.

Like, it was giving.

You know what I'm saying?

It's an amazing call.

Yeah.

Katie Perry.

Katy Perry,

the queen of corny.

I think she makes the most amazing

corny songs that like everybody loves to sing and they just make you feel girly and fun.

Yeah.

Ari.

Ariana.

Ooh.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Messy.

Not messy.

Like, such a great musician.

One of the better vocalists of our time.

Agreed.

Like, no one's singing like her right now.

Like,

you know what I'm saying?

Like, nobody can sing like her.

The choices in men is unique.

It's unique.

It's unique.

I want to, like, unpack that.

Yeah, it's definitely bizarre.

It definitely, I think, is indicative of growing up.

A child star?

Yeah, like in musical theater.

Okay, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

But they're not the choices I would make.

If I was this young hot thing in Hollywood.

Yeah, it's like she's at theater camp and she's only, she's finding the one heterosexual.

Exactly.

No,

like, right?

Yeah.

And that one heterosexual has definitely gotten their dick sucked by a man.

Because he's a victim of circumstance.

Yeah, yeah.

He was there.

He wanted to try.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

I'm glad he tried.

He tried and he knew he didn't like it.

Yeah.

You know?

And I respect him for that.

Have you ever guest judged on drag race?

No, it's my dream job and they will not call me.

Really?

I know.

We're gonna make it.

We're gonna manifest it.

Let's manifest it.

I would love to see you on there.

Thank you.

Who's your number one drag queen?

Ooh, number one.

From the show, contestants-wise.

Oh, that's a hard one.

But who I really respect is like Chandler, Bob the Drag Queen.

I love Eureka, Trixie, of course.

I love Eureka.

Eureka is probably one of my favorites just because she was so herself.

Yeah.

Kind of annoying like me.

Yeah, and it can be a lot for some people.

It can be a lot.

But she embraced it.

And what I also like is from her season, well, she was on one season.

She kind of

hurt herself.

Oh, she's a fan.

Okay.

Oh, yeah.

No, she, and I was very upset because I do feel like I love drag race, but I feel like the plus-size queens get no love.

No love.

It's hard for the big girls.

I know.

But from her first season to her comeback season, I feel like she really did some work and changed as a person and was like, hey, I'm being annoying and abrasive.

And I'm going to like, I'm going to work on myself a little bit.

Can I ask you a question?

Yeah, yeah.

Because I feel like we have similar personalities and big personalities.

Very big.

And I think sometimes people with big personalities, like I'm self-aware enough to know, like, I'm not for everyone.

And sometimes I could be annoying.

Is that something you deal with like self-consciously?

Like, am I too much?

And should I pull back?

No.

No.

No, I think I've always just known, I'm like, I'm a lot.

I think when I was a kid, of course, I wanted to be liked by everybody.

But I think I was like, I'm a lot.

I'm loud, I'm opinionated.

And once I accepted that, I really found my voice, especially like within the public eye and a Peloton, and people embrace it and they love that.

And like, you're not going to be everybody's cup of tea.

So true.

And that's okay.

That's okay.

Yeah.

Okay, Cody Griggs, we have a question for you.

Today's episode is brought to you by Lululemon because we are celebrating the fact that leggings season is upon us.

We don't have to wear shorts and shave our legs anymore.

It's It's leggings season.

It's comfy sweater season.

And Lululemon is the place to shop if you need leggings.

I love all of my Lululemon leggings.

I think they make the best leggings.

I really, I'm very particular about leggings.

I don't like to be constricted.

I don't like to not be able to breathe.

And Lululemon has it all this season.

So they have a ton of different leggings.

The fast and free leggings, which are powered by their New Lux fabric.

They're really weightless.

They have incredible coverage.

And they're designed for those looking for a legging that gives them complete freedom from distractions while running or jogging.

They also have the Wonder Train legging, which is designed with one of their most innovative fabrics, which is Everlux.

It is their fastest drying fabric.

So that legging allows you to work hard and feel dry so you can effortly transition from sweat to street.

If you're working out, but you also want to run errands, like you're not going to be in your soggy clothes all day, and you can actually get sick that way.

So don't do that.

It's great for any activities.

And then the aligned leggings, which are personally my favorite ones.

They're powered by the Nulu fabric.

So it's really for the person who wants a lightweight, low-compression yoga solution that is also versatile enough for casual wear.

Because say with me, you don't have to work out to wear workout clothing.

It gives the wearer a next-to-nothing body sensation it has full freedom of movement and it doesn't restrict or compress whoever's wearing it it's great for low-intensity workouts like yoga or just casual wear pair it with a sweater maybe a pair of boots you know it's autumn girl it's girl fall girl autumn what are they calling it Christian girl autumn whatever get into the lululemon leggings at lululemon.com that's l-u-l-u-l-e-m-o-n dot com okay so our first story is about taylor okay now i'm gonna give everyone the update but what are your thoughts on her dating travis kelsey this you you know, monumental moment?

Yeah, he's hot.

First of all, first of all, very hot.

Love the mustache.

He's a little bit like,

you know,

goofy.

Corn-fed, trashy.

I'm here for.

I love a corn fed.

I agree.

So he's hot.

Also, like, she definitely needs someone tall.

She's a tall gal.

It's hard out there for tall girls, especially if you're wearing heels.

These men are very intimidated by a tall girl.

So like she needs a tall man.

He's tall.

She also needs someone that is successful.

She's one of, if not the most successful woman in music and in the world right now.

So she needs someone successful, but like adjacent or like on a different lane.

They're not sharing the same space.

Like, he's not a musician.

He's not going to get intimidated.

Like, he's at the game.

He's throwing the ball or catching the ball.

I'm not catching the ball.

He's a bottom.

Great.

Wonderful.

Okay.

So he's out there catching the ball.

And, you know, he looks great in red.

And so I think it's good.

But like,

I'm really interested to see, like, I saw like his jerseys, like number five.

87.

Oh, number 87?

No, no, no.

I'm saying like of purchases on the NFL website.

Yeah, they went like 400%.

Yeah, it's 400%.

So the girls, the Swifties are buying the jerseys.

I just like can't wait to see like when they break up.

Like

he's going to, they are going to let him have it.

He's going to literally never want to leave his house again.

The girls say that that Taylor doesn't write songs about exes anymore.

I can't say yay or nay to that.

By the way, she does.

I think what the Swifties have a problem with, if I could be a representative for the Swifties, is when people minimize Taylor's all of her success, being like, oh, she just writes songs about her ex-boyfriend.

No, I won't say that.

I won't say that.

But she does write a lot of things.

It's about her life.

She writes her love.

Yes, yes, and that encompasses men.

Yes, it does.

Like our lives.

And

I think it's worth mentioning that pretty much everyone writes about love.

Every song ever is written about love.

But when Taylor does it, it's like an issue.

Okay, yep.

Fair, fair, fair, fair, fair, fair take.

I just just am gonna really look forward to that man.

That I pray for that boy when, in a year, there are football analogies in one of her songs and they are like leaving snakes all over his Instagram.

Yeah, so brace this man for impact.

Keep him in your prayers right now.

What the swifties giveth, the swifties.

Oh, they will take it.

Yes, he got 400,000 Instagram followers.

Yes, his jerseys went up in sales by 400%.

Yes, there were 25 million people watching that game.

What the Swifties giveth, the Swifties will take away.

Okay, here's also, here's like, because I love pop culture zeitgeist.

let's like manifest though like

him

a

a year and so from here so super bowl 2025 okay taylor's performing and he's in the game oh what are your thoughts on what are your thoughts on usher usher being the super bowl one of the only men that i would allow to be the super bowl like headliner because A take that I have is like, get men off that stage.

Oh my God, you are making the best calls today.

Get men off that stage immediately.

I really agree.

Like, why are they on that stage doing nothing?

Except, I don't think that applies to Bruno Mars.

Oh my God, we are so in alignment.

That is the one that he,

his Super Bowl performance, I was not a fan.

I was like, okay, whatever.

I watched that and I was like, oh, this boy's turning it.

Yeah.

He was incredible.

No, I have gone back and watched it.

It's like one of my favorite activities.

Like on a Saturday night when I'm drunk, I'm like, guys, let's watch Bruno Mars.

What if we just watch Bruno Mars at the Super Bowl?

Okay, I agree with you.

Usher is, I think, and he has a catalog.

He's my favorite male artist of all time.

Really?

Yeah, because he's a slut, but he also loves being in love.

Okay, I love it.

And I relate to that.

Like, I'm assuming, I don't want to make assumptions.

Like, I'm assuming you're familiar with Mr.

G.

Yes, yes.

She's a slut and she knows him.

Yes, yes, yes.

That's literally Usher.

That show would not

go these days.

When I was in college, it was wildly inappropriate.

It was beyond inappropriate.

When I was in college, I was an intern at the Huffington Post.

Okay.

And they had a Halloween party.

Okay, great.

So I was in my Jimmy obsession and I dressed up as Jimmy Privates.

When I tell you, not one person knew how I was, I looked so fucking stupid, but it was the best costume of all time.

I wasn't appreciated in my own time.

You should have been.

What's the best Halloween costume you've ever done?

Ooh, wow.

Best Halloween costume that I've ever done.

Do you do a lot of pop culture?

No, I'm actually like kind of a more nerdy girl.

Like I did like video games and like Marvel growing up.

Last year I was rogue and my ass looked really good.

Rogue from the X-Men.

Rogue from the X-Men.

So, you know, I'm not picky enough.

Uh-huh.

Wow, you really have so many interests.

I know.

Me and my friend we me and my best friend we we dressed up as Cami and Chun Lee from Street Fighter and it was really great because like I was like I know it's fine but it's so important to have hobbies

anything I do I just have to be a slut because that's the rule I love that yep okay so the update from the Travis Kelsey thing I don't know if you guys Travis and his brother have a podcast oh wonderful it launched last year when they became really popular because they were both playing in the Super Bowl and it was the first time two brothers had ever been oh that was them yes oh wow I had no no idea.

So they launched a podcast and people, they're just, America has fallen in love with them.

They're hot.

They're hot.

They're hot.

And they're so different.

Like, Jason is a family man.

He has three kids.

He lives in Pennsylvania.

He's been on the same team for a million years.

He's kind of like the steady one.

And Travis is more of like the...

He's a little bit more of the starry, flashy one.

He won the Super Bowl against his brother.

Oh, right.

He has a ring, and he probably brings it up every time.

He's too.

Oh, for sure.

Oh, too.

I'm so sorry.

Okay.

So on their podcast this week, it came out this morning.

He's talking about Taylor.

So they really turned that around quickly because she was at the game on Sunday or something.

Maybe she was the press.

Yeah.

It's not going to last.

It might not last forever.

The number one podcast in the world.

They talked about it for 35 seconds, and it's literally number one on you.

It's number one everywhere.

But here's basically what he said.

I want to respect both of our lives.

She's not in the media as much as I am doing this show every single week and having fun during the NFL season, but I'm enjoying life and I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend.

Everything's moving forward.

I think me talking about sports will just have to be where I keep it.

So he's basically saying like, yes, this is real, but but I'm not going to be talking about it.

I don't think that's through a choice of his own.

He has a great publicist.

Yeah.

I mean, I can't remember a time where some.

Are you as publicist?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Obsessed.

I'll talk later, but we'll get to thanks.

No, I can't remember a time where an athlete has become so famous so quickly.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He's always, people know him.

In the sports world, he's always been a very good player.

And I was going to say,

is he good?

But he's got two rings.

He's like the best at what he does.

And that is?

I'm going to say tight end, correct?

Tight end.

I'm so into sport.

The football.

I'm not like other girls.

The girls are so gay, but okay, great.

Totally.

Yeah, yeah.

He's a tight end.

And my most favorite thing about him, which I think you would really find interesting, is that I want to say in like 2011, I can't remember right here, he was obviously like experiencing a lull in his career.

I think he's actually said recently that he did it because he was

in financial straits and he had blown through his rookie money.

He did a dating show on Eve called Catching Kelsey.

What website?

What website was he on?

Okay, he did a dating show.

Called Catching Kelsey.

Catching Kelsey.

What network was it on?

It was actually Eve.

That's very Eve.

I recently went back and watched it.

It was hysterical.

And the girl who won, they ended up dating for four or five months.

Okay.

She's now speaking out.

And she said, it was the funniest thing.

She goes, I'm a girl's girl.

So I want to tell Taylor, like, once a cheater, always a cheater.

Oh, gosh.

I don't know if a girl's girl would go to the Daily Mail.

I think a girl's girl would go to Taylor, had that been the truth.

I don't know if she has access to Taylor Swift, but you know, it's okay.

Such a good point.

it was just very hypocritical.

Like, you know,

2011

years ago, like, let a man change.

Yeah.

That's a little rude.

Oh, yeah.

In your book, you talked about how you cheated on an

damn read, drag me, bitch.

Sorry, no, but I thought that was very honest of you.

Yeah, yeah, no.

I definitely cheated on a lot of boyfriends, but I was also like young and dumb, and like, I didn't go to it.

And then I finally went to therapy and was like, hey, bitch, like, that's why.

Stop.

Yeah.

Stop being a dumbass.

Yeah, that was interesting.

So I don't think that like a person from 12 years ago had some has had some time to change and also like They've gone on a few dates.

He can fuck other people right now.

It's so true.

He can fuck other people right now.

They're not exclusive.

They're not exclusive.

That's very true.

They're not going to steady.

They weren't even holding hands in that like they were standing next to each other.

They weren't even holding hands.

That's an amazing point.

So like he can fuck who he wants.

She can fuck whoever she wants.

I agree.

I agree.

So

so overall, are you here for the relationship?

I'm here for it.

For both of them, I think it's like good.

Like I said, Taylor needs a tall man.

Is this a painful conversation for you?

Okay, I feel like...

Plus, I she's not my taste, but I wish her well.

And like you respect her.

I respect the hustle, yes.

Okay.

Well, our next story is about your queen.

Okay.

So Brittany Jean is

causing waves.

Always.

And yesterday she posted really an alarming video.

Alarming.

At first, it seemed like every other video.

A little blurry, Vaseline on the lens, in the living room with the stripper pole, the low-rise shorts, the sexy dance moves.

But this time.

The cap sleeve top.

The cap sleeve top, yes.

With the elastic.

yeah yeah yeah but this time she was holding two knives and i think that really when i saw it i was like oh no

she has offered an explanation which i do feel like makes it a little better yeah what was the explanation that they were fake right no so she tells fans to lighten up about the knives and she claimed that she was copying shakira yeah no no no that's i knew that was the reference i didn't knew she was referencing a former work of art which does make not even former shakira whipped out knives at the vmas i believe this year so that i understood the reference immediately Oh, that's so funny.

I didn't.

Oh, I did.

And I didn't even watch the VMAs.

And I did.

So her referencing something like makes it a little less scary.

Yeah.

But I just don't think she's at a place in her life where she should be just messing around with knives.

I don't know if anybody should really ever.

No, no, no, no, no.

Knife safety is real.

I

cut myself cutting cucumbers in the kitchen, you know?

You cut a bagel after young cucumber.

Thank you.

I mean, remember when Lindsay had that knife out?

Lindsay Lohan with the knife, and she was like holding it in a picture.

It was Lindsay Lohan in the salon with the knife.

With the knife, yes.

Oh my God, that's so Lindsay.

It's just, it's a little, yeah, and like whipping them around and dancing with it was quick movement.

I know, like nunchucks.

But part of me feels like I thought there was a, my friend sent me a comment on Britney's thing that said they were fake.

Oh.

But they were Halloween fake.

Well, if they were fake, then that's different.

But they didn't look fake, is what I'm going to say.

She wrote, I started playing in the kitchen with knives today.

Oh, she went, you're right.

She went on to clarify that she edited the caption,

that they are not real.

Halloween is soon.

Yep, yep, yep, yep.

Do you think that was someone from her team?

Does she have a team?

That's a good question.

I don't think that she has a team.

But other Twitter users expressed concern, one writing that the knives were 100% real because an audible clang could be heard.

That's a good point, too.

But, you know, sometimes they have like

plastic that clangs.

Yeah.

I feel like it's a different clang, but I respect respect you wanting to protect your queen.

No, it's just like, I don't know.

Yeah, the knives are choice.

The knives are a choice.

And I felt uncomfortable.

I did too.

And

it wouldn't be my thing.

I just don't think that

as much as I love her unhingedness, I don't think that she's unhinged enough to dance that frantically with knives.

Yeah.

And I honestly don't think that she's that skilled enough to dance with knives and not injure herself.

So maybe that does conclude that they were, in fact, fake.

Perhaps.

I just, you know, she's no, she's not with Sam anymore.

So So, like, who is in the house to tell her, like, don't play British.

Can she get a new assistant?

I don't know.

I'm not, like, a Britney stan.

I thought I read something where she was in the car with her new assistant.

Interesting.

Her assistants, except for Felicia, if we remember the good old Felicia days,

she was a good assistant.

The assistants past 2006, debatable.

I feel like I could see you on one of those documentaries about Britney just as like a super fan giving insight into like you like read the legal documents like you just know a lot about the legal documents.

I'm not I don't have the attention span to do that i like my book's only 220 pages so

a legal document no i want to thank you for that i love short books thank you i think short books are

vastly underrated yeah yeah i love that thank you so we're wishing brittany well as usual as always oh i wanted to get your take on something because last week we reported you know she has to promote her book coming up you know you're doing a lot of podcasts talk daytime talk

she's not really in the space to do that so they're getting creative and i don't know if you saw they're re-releasing crossroads in theaters work do you love that I didn't even see that.

You know, I don't need to go to the theaters to see it.

I'd just rather stream it.

And to be honest, I think my favorite part of that movie is Kim Cottrell at the end.

Of course.

Like, down.

When Brittany travels all the way, and Kim Rutttrell's like, get the fuck out of my house.

Get out of my home.

Away.

Away, peasant.

I was actually just watching, you know, when they would release VHSs, they would do like bonus features.

They had like a scene with Kim Cottrell and Brittany.

And I guess I didn't realize it at the time, but it was filmed during like the peak of Sex in the City.

This was just like an extra.

And she was like begging Britney to come to the set.

You would love the girls.

It's honestly an amazing movie.

Oh, to Sex in the City?

Yes.

That would have been a great cameo.

I know.

Sex in the City did Sex in the City and Will and Grace did the best cameos.

And Brittany did do a cameo on

one of the best cameos on Will and Grace ever.

Let me say, you know what else has great cameos?

Because I'm re-watching it right now.

The Nanny.

Oh, yes.

And some of the best fashions.

The best fashion you've ever seen.

The best fashions you've ever seen.

She had Elizabeth Taylor on.

Work.

It was, it's like much older, so I feel like people don't consider it as like one of those binge-watching shows.

Everybody's re-watching.

It's so good.

it's and like and like Fran Tresher still looks everything hot do you know she's a cancer survivor did not she's everything she's my Jewish queen although I did read she converted to Buddhism but we still claim her we still claim her like as like uh as a people you know

once a Jew always yeah yeah all right our next story is a little dancing with the stars news

now What overall, describe your Dancing with the Stars experience in one word.

Oh,

um,

grueling.

yes grueling okay because obviously mentally physically and emotionally it really and you had the physical but some people go on who aren't you know in their peak physical fitness and i think it's such a tough transition i think jamie lynn will have a hard time we'll see if she gets past episode one there's this popularity contest it is well it is a popularity contest and like they will

they've got elements that they can play with as far as like the scoring to keep certain people around and listen to me if there's a britney night this entire season she's staying on i don't care if if

it's the semifinal.

They're keeping her ass on till Britney night, and then she's getting the boot.

By the way, I didn't even think of that.

And that's an amazing call.

But if there's a Britney night, she's staying until there.

And if there's not a Britney night,

the time that she does a Britney Spears song, she's going home.

That's a beautiful, like, if that's how it plays out, you just told a beautiful story.

Thank you.

Now, are you a Bravo girly?

Here and there.

Okay.

Are you keeping up with kyla mauricio oh well are they separated are they together we don't fucking know we don't know they're like is she a lesbian is she on a lesbian journey is she not they're being really unclear i think they're just kind of waiting for the season to premiere where they tell the story but their their narrative thus far is like we've had we're having a rough year but we're not separated and we're not divorced and we're not lesbian oh like but but there's evidence of the uh contrary maybe they just have an open marriage and that's the gag that's the gag maybe that's the gag so mauricio's on dancing with the stars yes mauricio is extremely good looking.

I think

they are a very hot couple.

Yes, they both look very good.

And it's making waves that Kyle was there supporting him.

Oh, good for him.

And his little package, you know, they do his little packages before the show.

He like just weirdly blurts out this like scripted line about his wife.

He's like, yeah, we're having a rough year.

Like nobody asked.

It was so weird.

But I think the housewives community was...

was really gagged by it because there's so much uncertainty.

And I think he is, he pretty much is regarded as the hottest house husband.

Wow.

Although I think I'm not sure.

I don't think of anybody who would you say is hotter.

I would say Evan Goldschneider, but I'm biased because he's Jewish.

He's from Jersey.

And actually, his wife has been demoted to friend of.

Ooh, not friend of.

He's really not a friend of mine.

Wait, what's the New Jersey?

Like, what's the New Jersey apple or peach?

What is it?

That's a great question.

What the fuck do they hold on?

French.

Barbara Harrisburg, can you look it up?

What do they hold?

What do they hold?

They hold diamonds in Beverly Hills, peaches in Atlanta.

New Jersey.

New York, they hold apples.

Apples.

Yeah, what the hell do they hold?

What's Beverly Hills?

A diamond?

A diamond.

Yeah, yeah.

They just put their hand on it.

They just put their hand on.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

That's so funny.

I never realized that.

Oh, not a hand on the head.

Not a hand on the head.

That is so B-list right there.

No, it's giving like second tier.

Yeah, very much.

But it's a real one.

They're all friend of.

But by the way, that's so interesting because I think in the like tiers of housewives, Jersey is very high up there.

It's consistently good since the very beginning.

Okay, fair.

So it's highly.

I was always like an Atlanta girl.

Yep.

And then Beverly Hills I got into, but I've fallen off.

It's hard to keep up with it.

It's just for me, it's like, it's too much like, we're about to fight.

And what are we fighting about?

And like, it's just like, I see it coming and it doesn't feel authentic.

Like, if y'all are, like, fuck fight.

I want to see y'all knuck and buck.

It's formulaic at this point, which is why I think when Potomac came out, it was so refreshing because like they did it differently and they didn't give a fuck and they weren't like out here.

And now it's like.

What about a housewife that's like, you know, like supportive, like no drama.

Like, let's just, okay, never mind.

No.

What's your favorite unscripted reality show?

Oh,

that's hard.

Does drag race count?

It's more of a competition.

That's a competition.

Like the voice?

I don't know.

I'm not like.

Are you not big into reality?

No, or if I've, I, okay, I did like the first two seasons of Selling Sunset.

I mean, it was some of the best selling.

So good.

Were you team Christine Quinn?

I'm not, like, okay, remember in the second season where like at the finale, they're like, girl, you're being a mess.

Like, you keep doing nasty things.

And she's like, I don't know what you're talking about.

It just, like, was like, at that point, I was like, you're getting confronted.

Like, be a cool human being.

But, you know what, guys, yes, I am.

And I'm going to try to do better.

Or like, yes, I am.

Fuck you.

And I'm going to keep being a bitch.

I feel like you would do great on reality.

I don't know.

I'm very, I would like diffuse confrontation.

I don't like confrontation.

People think, because like, and maybe you too, because like we're very loud.

Yeah.

People think I'm like a fighter and I'm so conflict averse.

I will run for the hills.

Like I will clench my butt.

I hate, I'll never say anything.

I'll have a conversation, but I'm not going to fight you.

I will, I won't be afraid of you.

I'm too pretty.

I'm too pretty, especially physical.

Like, no, ma'am.

So it's nice to see that Kyle and Mauricio are supporting one another, but do you think that the Dancing with the Stars lifestyle is good for a marriage in crisis?

I feel like you're very busy.

Yeah, it was,

I would say, no.

Maybe it's a good distraction.

Maybe it's a good time to be apart because we're both focused.

In my book, I read about how Cheryl Burke was like

about to, she, at our season finale, she was like, this has been a great distraction, but I've got to go figure out if I'm going to be with my husband.

Yeah.

And they're not.

And they're not.

And he's he's with someone else now right well I think he was dating the girl TLC TLC or 3LW excuse me no TLC TLC TLC no chat chili chili yeah yeah that was like the craziest saga for the 90s kids yeah yeah I enjoyed it and with the brothers and they do a podcast with the brothers that's the thing everything in pop culture comes back to a podcast

which is why I love what I do

Our next story, what are your thoughts?

Before I like keep saying the story,

I just want like your take on the person.

Okay.

What are your thoughts on the Kardashians?

Oh,

um,

Like Iris

Iris it's kind of like Taylor like I respect the hustle

not necessarily for me.

I also like like I risk I respect how family oriented they are.

Yes.

I respect the hustle.

Yes.

But I also think that they've been really toxic for like pop culture and the way that we

especially women view themselves.

Like I think it's y'all there's a lot of surgeries going on there.

nothing wrong with that.

If you want the surgeries, go for it.

I don't care, but like, don't act like they aren't there.

No, I will say, like, I ride hard for the Kardashians, similar to Taylor, but I feel like there's a lot of really valid criticisms of the Kardashians.

Like anybody.

And the difference is, like, when I think people criticize Taylor, like, I think it's invalid.

Like, I think it's dumb.

Like, but with the Kardashians, like, I agree.

Like, there's a lot of things about them that I could, you know, agree with you on if you were going to criticize them.

Get your coin, but like.

Get your coin responsibly.

Yeah, yeah.

So, Corner Kardashian had had a baby shower, and it appears as though she's got a baby number.

I think it's her fourth, but it's her first with Travis Barker.

Courtney has four kids, yeah.

She had three with Scott, three Penelope, Mason, and Rain.

Oh,

and now she's having one with Travis Barker from Blinkin82.

Okay,

so they had a baby shower, and they were like posting a bunch of content.

I think they spilled the beans on the baby's name because it was a deleted Instagram story where they were like all writing notes to the baby, and it said Dear Baby Rocky, R-O-C-K-Y.

R-O-C-K-Y.

What are your thoughts?

I think it's trying a little hard.

Because he's like a rocker.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And just like...

It's thematic.

What happened to Joshua?

What happened to Matthew?

What happened to biblical names?

Like, just bring it back.

Why do we have to be so creative?

What is like, do you want to have kids?

Like, 95% no.

I like my time off.

I like my money.

90%.

I still haven't unpacked all my trauma, so I'm like not trying to put that on.

But anyway,

what's what's like your baby name you love oh I know this is really weird and like and it all stems from a movie but I've always I've always loved the name Vincent from what movie is that I think it's uh Ethan Hawk and like Gattaca or something like that interesting I know that's so random do you think Vince Vaughn is hot Vince Bond no you don't no no my mom does

not like

maybe like he's not attractive to gays because I feel like a lot of women think he's hot but I don't see like the gays he was like he was in like wedding Crash or something.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, no, no.

He's not attractive.

Oh, my God.

I find him so cute.

Yeah, yeah, no.

So who do you think is like the hottest

straight male celebrity?

The hottest straight male celebrity of all time or like current?

Current.

Oof, fuck.

I'm just trying to gauge your type.

Wow.

I have a lot of varied types.

Maluma's really hot.

Agreed.

But like also a bad bunny, but like in a different way.

I agreed.

Chris Evans is hot.

Dog.

The Hemsworth is hot.

Chris Hemsworth is hot.

I think you got Liam Hemsworth, Miles Harris's ex-husband.

He's fine.

He's fine.

He's fine.

I agree.

He's hot, but like, I'm not gagging.

So who do you think is the hottest gay male celebrity?

Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow.

Because there's only one answer.

Oh.

It's Luke Evans.

Oh, Gaston.

Oh, my God.

It might just be that I like want to fuck Gaston.

Oh,

he is very hot.

And he's an amazing voice.

He has an amazing voice, and he's definitely like,

I could see him having a good time.

He He keeps it on the low, but like, I think he.

He does.

I think he likes to party.

I think he's

definitely a slut, but I think he keeps it on the low.

I have nothing to back that up.

It's just on intuition.

No, but he has been criticized by the geek community for not being so public and out with his sexuality.

And he's just said, I'm a private person.

Yeah.

What are your thoughts on that?

That's fair.

That's fair.

That's fair.

Like,

could he do more?

Sure.

We could all do more.

Could he do more?

Sure, but like...

Right.

It's his life.

It's his live.

Let him live.

Do you think about ever ever like when you get on the bike,

who's watching?

Because I feel like everyone has a Peloton, especially Pelotons are expensive.

So like celebrities definitely have.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Are you ever thinking like, maybe Barbara Treisan's watching my Peloton?

Do you think that?

Cabs?

Not her specifically.

But like, do you think?

No, I guess I'm not thinking about it.

I'm just like trying to get through.

I'm not really worried about what celebrity is taking my.

That's so funny.

That's literally all I would be thinking about.

Yeah, because it would be the only thing to get me through.

I'd be like, girl, stop sweating.

Like, get it together.

I'm always red kids watching.

Here's my thing.

And, like,

I went to the vice president's house, and I tried to ask all the staffers who Joe Biden's favorite Peloton instructor was just because I'm curious.

For a fact that he Toms?

He has a bike.

I know he has a bike.

Wow.

Because it was like, there was an article that was like, is he going to take it to the White House?

Because

there might be.

Security.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's national security risk.

National security risk.

So

I just want to know.

I don't even care if it's me.

I just want to know.

I feel like it really could be you.

Maybe.

Is there any like drama like between the different writers?

I mean the different instructors.

Yeah.

Everyone tries to ask that and like honestly, no, I wish, I wish there was.

We're pretty like all supportive of each other.

Like we're all doing our own thing, but like we all like support each other the best we can.

I think the most drama is like I get really annoyed with the girls because like we have two dressing, two like changing rooms in the green room and there's like sometimes like eight of us in there or like five or six.

And I'm like, I don't even go in there.

Yeah, it's a lot.

Like I want to, I just, it's like living with your sisters and I don't have sisters and like trying to share two bathrooms.

Right.

So that's the most tea I can give you.

Is the Peloton HQ Studio in New York?

Yeah, it's on 31st and 10th.

That's so interesting.

Yeah, yeah.

Do you go every day?

Not every day, like three to five days a week.

It depends on the week.

And this might be a dumb question.

Are the classes live or the pre-recorded?

So majority of the classes are live and then go on demand.

Right.

We have people in the classes, like a live studio audience.

I've seen that.

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, like one on Thursday, one on Monday, and then all day, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

And if somebody wanted to sign up for that, how would they do it?

You have to, like, go online and find tickets.

And I'm not trying to compare myself, but so many of the girlies have just been like, it's easier to get Taylor Swift tickets than to get a bike in my class.

I believe it.

How many bikes are there like?

There's only 40.

So like, you know.

I'm not selling out MetLife, but like, you know,

it's hard to get a ticket.

It counts.

And if they could be on StubHub, they might.

They might.

They might.

I love that.

That's so cool.

It's like a concert.

yeah a little bit but you couldn't do it during covid right no oh my god i was careful

people people in the thing people yeah no absolutely not we didn't have people back in the studio until like last summer when you were i didn't know this but when you were talking about you getting covered during dancing with the stars and you have to dance in your house on zoom yes was that one of the lower points of your life i almost quit no i legitimately almost quit it was like week two i called my boss and i was like listen I don't, I don't know.

I don't know.

Can I just like quit?

Right.

She was like, no, you're not quitting.

And also Cheryl Brooke was like, bitch, you're not quitting.

I was like,

okay, we'll figure it out.

So I had to set up my whole living room and dance to Britney Spears in my living room.

I'm sorry.

That was hysteric.

I know.

It was, I just wanted to get through the night.

And the thing is, like, I was like, I did all this hard work and they still gave me shit scores.

You know what?

You should have gotten tens, tens, tens across the board.

Just for that.

Just given the circumstances.

Thank you.

Give me a little pity here.

This is so funny.

All right.

Our fifth story before we dive into some advice is major news in the world of Airbnb.

Oh.

You can now spend the night in Shrek's Swamp.

Oh, I saw that.

It's in Ireland.

It's in Scotland.

So the mud-laden, moss-covered, murky-watered swamp is situated among the rolling hills of Scotland where guests can stay up late, swap stories, and eat like an ogre because in the morning, donkey's making waffles.

So they have really recreated, here, I'll show you a picture.

But I also need a man that looks like Human Shrek

to greet me with breakfast.

I agree.

Because Human Shrek was hot.

You think?

Yeah.

You tap that.

I tap it.

What about donkey?

Smash your pass.

I am an ass man, so smash!

Good answer.

Did we use that one?

Okay, we did.

Okay, sorry.

That was in a ride.

Oh, that's funny.

I love it.

I think Airbnb is getting so creative.

You know, you could stay in Gwyneth Paltrow's guest cottage.

That's rich.

How much is it?

I mean, and is she there?

It was like a sweepstakes.

So only one person's going to do it.

And yes, you attempt dinner with her and her husband.

Oh, that sounds.

I would be so hungry after that meal.

We would be Uber Eating, hostmates

all the way.

Just double up on that Ozen bit girl, okay?

I literally am obsessed with you.

I think that this is a fabulous idea.

I think, you know, it's hard in this day and age.

Every media company is so thirsty.

You can't even get an Airbnb in New York anymore, but you can be at Shrek's house.

I'm the Rolling Hills of Scotland.

Is Universal not coming for these people?

I'm sure it's a partnership between whoever owns the Shrek and Universal.

I think it's Pixar.

No, no, no, no, no.

It's Universal.

It's Universal because they have a Shrek ride ride at Universal Studios.

Are you a Disney adult?

Okay, I have a Mickey Mouse tattoo, but

I do not identify as a Disney adult.

I just love Mickey.

Okay, let's read me for all that.

Let's get one thing straight.

You came for the Swifties when you're a full-blown Disney adult.

Read me, Rich.

Read me, Rich.

That is rich.

That is rich.

It is.

It is.

How many times a year you go to Disney?

Okay, okay, okay.

Here's the thing: I went twice this year.

Twice this year.

You're only halfway through the year.

I know.

I hadn't been since 2018.

okay and me and my friends were like let's go and my friend corey is definitely a disney adult and he planned the whole trip so i was like work beautiful amazing which disney world is that orlando yeah orlando with all the parks yeah so we went we had a great time fantastic

Two months later, Disney calls me and asked me to do an event there.

And they were like, we will fly you out.

We'll give you a hotel and we'll give you and your friends access to the park.

I'm not going to say no to that.

You're a businessman.

I'm not going to say no to that.

I agree.

So I said yes to it.

So that is why I've been twice in.

Second time doesn't count.

You were working on it.

Thank you so much.

Okay.

The tattoo is a little misleading.

I know.

Which was your first tattoo?

I'm so interested by tattoos.

I have this one right here.

It's a heart on the top of my hand.

And I have it with my best friend.

So when we shake hands, it's right there.

That's cool.

I also, this is the first one I got, and I got it drunk at a party because I worked for this, I freelanced for this experiential marketing company.

Okay.

And they had a tattoo artist at their holiday company at their holiday company.

It's very experiential.

Yep.

And so my friend was like, you're drunk enough.

I always, he'd always been pressuring me to get a tattoo.

And so we got a tattoo.

So how many did you have?

Because it's four.

And then I'm done.

Four.

I'm done.

All on one arm.

All on one arm.

Keep it.

Keep it right here.

And I honestly don't want to get any more because there have been so many photo shoots that I've done that they have to cover them up.

Because this artist, they can never get a hold of her to like copyright.

To like sign off on it.

Right.

And I'm just like, enough.

No, and the Disney one is a big issue.

Yeah.

Interesting.

Interesting.

All right.

Well, thank you for doing the stories with me.

You and I love hot topics.

Great.

And we have three submissions.

So we do a weekly segment.

It's called Dear Toaster.

So if you guys ever want to submit to you, you know, get some advice from two unhinged girlies.

Feel free to head to the toastpodcast.com.

Submission is totally anonymous.

And we picked some raunchy ones for you.

You know, we're kind of a traditional married girlies, but I figured you'd be married?

Yes.

Oh, congratulations.

For like 100 years.

Oh, wonderful.

Beautiful ring.

Thank you so much.

I just got it resized because it was Empic.

It didn't fit anymore.

Oh, how what?

And that's a good problem to have.

I can't lie.

Like, I went to pick it up at the jewelry yesterday, and like, I am so skinny.

Like, I just couldn't get it.

Did you love going to the jeweler?

Like, guys, I've lost a lot of weight, and I really need to resize this ring.

I did, but like the size of my ring before was like actually embarrassing.

Oh, okay.

Let me tell you, my sister, her engagement ring is a size three and a half.

Okay.

Mine was a seven and a half.

Oh, my God.

So I just had these like big sausage fingers.

And so, yes, it was a win, but I'm glad to have those fingers.

Worth every penny you spent.

Worth every penny.

Okay, ready?

Hey, guys, I found you guys on TikTok.

I need advice in a bad way.

I love what people find us on TikTok.

Are you obsessed with TikTok?

I was stalking your stickers.

That's kind of where I've found you guys before, too.

Oh my God, I love.

Okay.

So I was going through my boyfriend's phone, and I came across.

Wait, baby.

Baby.

You don't need to go any further.

This is the problem.

You were going through your man's phone.

That's true.

You have no trust.

Like, you don't trust me.

I'm going to tell you, just break up now.

Yeah.

You don't you don't trust this man It gets worse the the The relationship is in turmoil, but keep going.

And it's so true.

Jackie always says, like, if you're going to go snooping, you're going to find something you don't want to see.

So, like, and

it's going to re-solidify whatever thoughts or insecurities that you're going to have.

So, no matter what you see, you're going to see it through the lens that you want to see it through.

But go keep going.

So, I was going through my boyfriend's phone, and I came across a picture I took of one of my friends in her bathing suit that was on my camera roll.

It was never on a social media platform.

The photo even said in the top corner, live, because because she had taken the live photo.

I asked him about it and he claimed he screenshotted it off of Instagram, which I debunked immediately.

This was never posted.

He gave no further explanation for himself and denied that he saved it from my camera roll, which was the only place that that picture was.

I'm just not sure how to move forward with this information.

Well, he obviously has access to your phone.

Right.

You two are both zooming through each other's phones.

You're both zooming through each other's phone.

I do want to offer one potential.

Like, I don't think that this is what happened, but I could see, I love to airdrop.

I'm always airdropping things.

And, you know, sometimes when you select a bunch of photos, so you also pick like a random one.

So, have you recently airdropped your boyfriend something?

It's probably not.

Probably not.

And also, he said he, but he also said he clicked it from Instagram.

So, like,

he already told on himself.

It's clear that you guys have like major trust issues.

You guys have major trust issues.

He needed some content to jack off to.

Unfortunately, it's of your best friend or your friend in a bikini.

It's weird.

I think you guys have trust issues.

You might want to just like go ahead and

call it quits on this one.

I'm sorry.

I kind of agree.

First of all, it's just weird because now you can never hang out with this friend and your boyfriend.

Two, he's scrolling through your phone.

You're scrolling through his phone.

This just sounds like red flag alert everywhere.

I just don't think this is like a great relationship.

Yeah, or yeah.

How would you like salvage this?

That's the thing.

Like I think

you're beyond a point where like communication because you you confront him good on you like you saw something that bothered you and you confront him him and he just lied So you're making no progress Yeah, he's gaslighting you like you literally saw the photo.

It's live like us tech girlies like we know we work in IT like we know you can't screenshot a live photo

right here.

Thank you.

And we know.

I hate when people like like I'm speaking facts and you're not.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's frustrating.

I agree with Cody.

I don't think that this is like right for you.

Nope.

All right, ready for our next one?

Yes.

This one's weird.

Hey, girl.

And the first one wasn't.

No, this one's like, actually,

it's not weird.

It's, I actually don't know how to help this girl.

Oh, okay.

I'm a fairly new listener, but I have a dilemma and I think that that you can help.

My fiancé and I have been together for almost four years.

We have a wonderful relationship and a great sex life.

Okay.

A few months ago, I tried calling him daddy in bed, and he really liked it.

Yes.

It didn't do much for me, but I didn't dislike it, and he did like it, so I started using it every now and then.

Okay.

The issue is when he started calling himself daddy

all the time, I find it so cringy and icky.

I don't want to embarrass him by telling him it's cringy.

So I just, do I stop using it and hope that he does and it fades?

Or do I find a nice way to tell him to stop much love and thank you for your input I feel like you're a quick to answer this.

Oh, I loved this.

I loved where the story was going.

I know like

every other straight man they ruined.

They took it too far.

I know like you can't really call yourself daddy.

No, no, no, no, no.

Especially like in the third person.

I'm sure it's in the third like daddy likes that.

And also like over breakfast.

Do that for daddy.

Yeah.

Oh, it's over breakfast.

She's saying not even in sex anymore.

Oh, just

around the house.

Like, daddy needs to do his laundry.

Like, stop.

Stop.

Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

You might have to lie a little bit here.

Okay.

Here's my solve.

Okay.

Hey, babe,

it really fucking turns me on when

I call you daddy in bed,

but like,

I really want it to be in the bedroom and special.

So, can you save it?

And can I, because you're so hot and like you have all the power, can I be the one that only calls you daddy i love that that kind of works right like men are so moronic yeah you have to hype them up being like i'm doing it for you yeah i'm doing it for you it's like i want you to feel special and i want to be kind of like submissive and be the one that does it right and also like if you just come out and tell him like he will be embarrassed and like yeah yeah yeah it does it is something that started in the bedroom and you just don't want to cause anything yeah so like just say like you really want to keep it in the bedroom like it's my thing like it only works when i do it yeah yeah yeah yeah without embarrassing That's pretty good advice.

I actually think that's excellent advice.

I will add nothing further.

Okay, great.

Our third and final one.

My boyfriend just broke up with me.

Okay.

Pre-breakup, he gave me a 10-karat diamond tennis necklace from the ring concierge as a commitment to me for Valentine's Day.

It's not the ring concierge.

A ring concierge?

Use code toast.

It feels weird to keep it now that he has broken up with me and he's broken that commitment, but it's also 10 carats.

Do I keep it?

Do I sell it?

Give it to my mom?

Give it back to him.

Love you both so much.

Definitely don't give it back to him.

Definitely.

If he has a ring concierge, he has money.

He has money.

He's not worried about this 10K bracelet.

Here's the thing.

In the state of New York, like an engagement ring or any sort of jewelry, it's considered a gift.

You don't have to give it back.

Wonderful.

So the law is on your side.

The law is on your side.

And he has money.

Isn't that part of the female experience?

When you're 80, you have this box of things and you're like, oh, my first boyfriend gave me this.

Oh, this was my first engagement.

Like, you collect mementos of your love life and this is just one of them.

Keep it.

If you fall upon hard times, sell that.

Honestly, I say sell it.

Oh.

Because here's the thing.

I read an article how like, you know, millennials, Gen Z, like they're moving away from real diamonds.

No offense to your ring over there.

Right, Earthmine diamonds.

They're moving into like synthetics that like really look well.

So I think the value of diamonds is going to drop.

This is coming from the business side of me.

So sell it now, cash out, and like invest it in something else.

Okay, that's interesting.

Could one make the argument that because everyone's moving away from Earthmine diamonds, diamonds, they're going to become more rare and therefore more valuable?

I think that's, you know.

It's possible.

You're just being hopeful, but that's fine.

No, it's like,

what have I been doing all this time?

I don't think we're going to run out of diamonds.

That's fair.

I don't think we're going to run out of diamonds.

I think that the market will be there.

And, like, I don't think you need to, like, what?

Are you going to keep on to the, like, when you get to your new man, like, are you going to wear this necklace?

I just want to say, like, I think you should keep it.

Okay.

We're in a disagreement.

We're in disagreement.

I think both offer.

neither scenario is bad or good.

You sell it, you get money.

Sell, sell, sell, baby.

You're investing in yourself.

Yes.

And you keep it, you always have diamonds on you.

Like, you know, you never know when you could have to flip it.

From the ring concierge.

From the ring concierge.

Cody, you give amazing advice.

Thank you so much.

You give amazing hot takes.

I'm so happy to have met you.

That's disgusting.

It's okay.

I'm the, you know, the one with the check mark.

No, you're the one.
