Smartless: Wednesday, September 20th, 2023

Good morning millennials and welcome back to the toast happy Wednesday.

Hope everybody's having a great day thus far.

I am.

You are?

My leg kind of hurts.

Oh, how hard for you.

Yeah, my leg really, really hurts.

Turdy's going through a tough time, you guys.

Yeah, just like turdy down.

Turdy down.

Turdy out.

Yeah.

And I'm actually not having a great day.

Today's the day I'm leaving.

I know.

There's a somber energy that's come over the house.

Dare I say a gray cloud?

So mentally mentally and physically.

Strained.

Strained.

Strained.

Yeah.

And I'm like racing home to get to my book club.

It's like going to be so chaotic.

But you finished your book.

I finished my book.

Yeah.

I haven't read it in so long because I'm still 50% through A Court of Thorns and Roses.

Akatar?

Akatar?

Yeah, because I can't remember what it stands for.

And I don't know if I'm going to be able to finish it because soon I have to start reading for the Redheads.

And we're reading the Fourth Wing, which is similar to Akatar, but I think better because I haven't heard one foul word about fourth wing.

So I don't know what's going to happen between Akatar and I.

Yikes.

But I really just want to finish it just to finish it.

Just to like, you know, check it off the good.

Yeah, swears your count.

Like I put 50%

in.

No, you have to finish it.

I have to get 50% out.

Get to work.

I guess so.

I just haven't picked up my Kindle since I gave birth.

I hadn't picked up my Kindle all month, like until I had to read for Book Club.

It just like wasn't a big reading month.

Maybe I need to switch to a smaller Kindle right now.

maybe it's like the idea of holding Charles and my big ass Kindle scribe yeah they're two heavy items yeah no it's definitely a Sophie's choice it's very much not yeah it's very much not who had a choice oh irina's choice that's a good that's when you have two good choices oh irina's shake yeah yeah yeah yeah that's when you have two good choices okay so that's like kind of the opposite of a deandra's choice yeah irina's choice like a an embarrassment of riches exactly so i guess between a Kindle and a baby, I have an Irena's choice.

Oh.

And for me, between, you know, being here with you and Bruno and being home with Theo, that's also an Irina's choice.

It is.

If you look at the world through the lens of a child.

Irena.

Laughs about joy.

Laughs about pain.

Speaking of Bruno, he's here today.

Speaking of Bruno, he is here today.

And he is providing his mommy with some very necessary body heat.

Let's talk about what's going on in your studio.

Like the icicles forming on the edge of my nipples are real.

It's one degree in this place.

It's so cold.

It's colder than it's ever been.

And it's been cold all week.

It's always cold because as we discussed, podcasting is a physical sport.

100%.

Not an Olympic sport, but it should be.

So when people ask, Claudia, do you work out?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I podcast daily.

Sometimes twice.

Sometimes thrice.

Sometimes vlog.

Sometimes vlog.

Sometimes,

yeah.

Actually, this is a vlog too, technically.

We vlog every day.

We're so, like, we're on-camera correspondence.

we're literally like famous we're just famous you know we're just constantly on camera we're famous so is brew so what i was gonna say yeah was that brew is providing his mommy with some really necessary how nice for you i mean you're the one wearing a big old sweatshirt like i'm over here freezing well i could bestow upon you something that i know that you want where i i looked before there was a blanket i didn't see it you guys it's one degree give me that why have you been hiding it i just didn't want to lean over oh having a cramp Oh,

oh, thank you.

You're welcome.

We had such a gorgeous night last night.

Like, it's really fun living in a house.

Isn't it?

Because, like, of course, you could do the same things that you do in an apartment.

In an apartment, like read, spend time with family, eat, watch TV.

But in a house, we're like, should we read outside?

You know, there's just like different places

to do your favorite activities.

So last night we decided to eat ice cream and watch TV in Jackie's room.

It was delightful.

It was.

It was really cozy and sweet.

And Bruno was there, of course.

Of course, and Charles.

And Charles.

Harry was already sleeping.

That's why I like it was like, what's the point?

But we were watching Magnolia Table and it was thundering and lightning like crazy.

Such a good vibe.

It was such a good vibe.

And I'm loving watching Magnolia Table.

Like that's my content vibe right now, cooking shows.

But as we've discovered over the last few days, there's really a gap in the market for cooking shows.

They kind of all suck.

Well, this is what we've been talking about for decades.

This is what we've been talking about for decades, like this shift at the food network to competition shows, baking, bake-offs.

Like they don't make just classic woman on camera in her kitchen type of shows anymore.

Yeah.

It's always got an edge.

Of course, we could go back and watch the old episodes because they used to make a million of them.

But now watching content from like 15 years ago, it's not premium.

Yeah, let me tell you what's wrong with all of them.

Barefoot Contessa, her camera's blurry.

Like literally, from a million years.

It's 20 years ago at this point.

And honestly, the recipes are like too fast-paced.

It's like, I want to relax.

I want to watch you do the whole process.

They're not fast-paced, in my opinion.

They're not good.

Like, it's just not what I would want to eat.

That's also a problem.

Because Joanna Gaines mostly cooks for her kids.

I find myself like every episode, there's something I would eat there, you know?

Yeah.

And then we watched Rachel Ray last night.

And I hate to speak ill of Queen Rachel Ray because she's actually someone I deeply admire and respect, but her cooking show is chaos.

Like it's, and I understand why she, you know, she's under the gun.

It's 30 minute meals.

She's making making a meal for her family.

We are

gun to her head.

And you know what?

She hasn't hit that 30-minute.

She's not hiding it well.

Like, she's panicked.

Everything is running, jumping, scraping.

Like, it's not relaxing to watch whatsoever.

And Jackie warned me, she's like, you're not going to like Rachel Wright.

She's a chaos machine.

And I'm like, you don't know Rachel like I know her.

Claudia, I'm having deja vu because literally years ago on the toast.

Did we have this conversation?

I had this conversation.

I was telling you about how Rachel Wright is chaotic.

And you're like, no, no, because you love her and you like i have like a weird you speak so highly of her i think i like have fond memories of like watching her i think she had 30 minutes meal minute meals was always on at grammy's house okay like and i just remember like laying in those big leather chairs like i feel a a nostalgia to rachel and i do i'm not ashamed of that okay but you just are constantly defending her and it's funny because you literally sound like me for bait verbatim if someone could go and find that clip or if you just watched it recently while we were on hiatus like i literally am talking about how Rachel Wright is chaotic and her 30-minute meals.

Congratulations.

No, it's just like we're Sympatiko.

Congrats.

We're Simpati.

It's me saying.

You said it first.

Add it to the less.

That's not what I was saying.

Add it to the less.

I certainly will, but that's not what I was saying.

Well, it doesn't change the fact that Rachel Wright, like, is chaos.

No, it doesn't.

But that's just like, you missed my whole point.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Oh, she's annoying today.

Congratulations.

She's annoying.

This mama got up nursed three times to sit with.

I got up too.

I got up too.

I'm not in my own home.

I'm using like trash, CBS makeup.

Like, I'm I'm here too.

What happened to your makeup that I got from Olivia's?

I, my, you know, what's, do you notice this in the, like, the different temperatures here?

Does your makeup, like,

in Florida, like, feel different when you put it on than in New York?

No.

Like, everything I have in my makeup kit, like, my foundation's like chunky.

Everything feels like it's, like, separating.

It just feels like different different climate like is affecting how the makeup sits in its tubes.

Do you not think it's because it's old?

Like it's six months to a year old?

It's all my makeup is like old.

Like I don't buy like everything new.

Like I use things forever.

Yeah.

And it's not like that old.

And especially like I keep buying new stuff.

I just feel like when I put on makeup here, it's different.

That's interesting.

I haven't had that experience.

And I had like my New York makeup and my Florida makeup when I came back.

I've been using both and I haven't noticed a difference.

So I, on that, we're not simpatico.

I just feel like it's like chunky.

Is it possible?

Like with the climate, but like your house is so cold.

Like this is so cold.

I'm surprised my makeup doesn't have like icicles on it.

You can't blame the climate.

No, I can't.

I just feel like, I don't know, something's amiss.

I think maybe it's old.

But it's not.

Like I, every time I'm here, I go buy new makeup.

Like from where?

From everywhere.

Like whenever I went, when I went to the mall, like I'm always like, you know, keeping my kit fresh.

Okay.

Yeah.

I'm sorry you're going through that.

It's been tough and Rachel Ray has been no help.

But Joanna has that was the point.

We landed like Joanna Gaines is is really kind of the only cooking show worth watching.

Like, we've done the research, yeah.

So, you don't have to.

We kind of need more new cooking shows, we need more women in the kitchen,

and that's back into the kitchen.

That's what I've been saying for years.

Like, women belong in the kitchen.

Could you imagine Mark teaching a cooking show by a man?

Yeah, like Emeril.

Mario.

It's not the vibe.

What's his name?

Mario?

Badali.

Bodescu.

No.

He's canceled.

Mario Bodescu is makeup scandal.

But he's canceled.

And Mario Batali, yeah, he had some scandal at his restaurant.

I thought on his show.

No, I think it was like Staff from His Restaurant.

Yeah, it was Staff from His Restaurant.

But he was also on a show, like a morning show about food, like taking

a day.

The chew or something.

And he was doing stuff.

Damn.

But I have no idea what that stuff is.

I'm just saying.

Because I haven't followed.

There have been men chefs.

No, no, I can recognize you.

But we both, I know what we're both saying.

The kitchen is a place for a woman.

And I don't want to watch a man on TV in the kitchen.

Yeah, I just think if you have hairy knuckles, like you really shouldn't, you shouldn't be kneading my dough.

You get your hands out of my food.

Like get your hands out of my food with your hairy knuckles.

I totally agree.

So writing and cooking are for the girls.

Leave it to the women.

Yeah.

And we'll see what else is for the women as we continue on with today's show.

Yes, we shall.

This has been a rough week for stories.

Has it?

I mean, I chose them like two days and I maybe i i actually just don't like choosing the stories it's a lot of pressure maybe that's it heavy is the head that chooses the stories yeah but i feel like for me i'm always concerned like i want our episodes to be long and like full of good tangents and stuff so if i'm choosing the stories that usually means you're not here and if i'm choosing the stories like if you're choosing the stories the other person like doesn't know like the story is like a launch pad like we don't have to talk about the story like let's talk about ourselves right so if they don't recognize that like i'm just left with this crop story Yeah.

And you have to treat it like a real story.

Right.

But if it's like a gorgeous story, me and the co-host could talk about it endlessly.

But I just like, I need people to like get the, with the program.

Like the stories are just like a merely a launching pad for us to dive into other topics, like, you know, whatever that may be.

So that's why I personally hate choosing the stories.

Like, if you choose a bad story, like we're going to find a way to talk about whatever.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't affect the lane.

You know.

that it's not about the stories here.

And it's never been about the stories here.

Never.

It's why they're the fast five.

We're trying to get them over.

I can't get through them quick enough sometimes.

Like yesterday, like dark times, really dark times.

But I'm not concerned with the length so much.

I get concerned with the length of the show just because of ad placement.

Like it's a formula in my diet.

But it is on your plate.

Right.

And so when both things are on my plate, I'm panicked.

It's a lot for one plate.

That's why when I'm back at the studio in New York, I pre-record my ads.

Yeah, that's fun.

Just so I can place them and really just be in the moment with my co-hosts.

Also, I'm heading to- Carpe DM.

Carpe DM.

Season of the fucking day.

I'm headed back to New York today, and I have literally nothing scheduled because I canceled everyone and everything for Thursday and Friday, except that I would be here forever.

So I've rescheduled everyone, and we have a really good couple of weeks coming up, but Thursday, Friday, this week, I'm not sure.

Well, I'll do Friday.

Okay.

So Thursday.

Taylor Strucker.

What if I just called Taylor up?

What if you just called Taylor up?

And that's exactly what I'm going to do.

Love that.

So we've got a great show because it's Wednesday, which means it's Dear Toasters Day.

Dear Toasters is our weekly advice segment.

On Wednesdays, we how about the girlies?

We tell them, get back in the kitchen, girl.

What are you doing out here in the conference room?

Life is just so much simpler if we stay in the kitchen.

You know what?

Like, I'm joking, but I'm dead serious.

No, when I watch these cooking shows, it's like, why did we ever leave?

Yeah, it's like the fact that Joanna, even though it's unrealistic at this point in her life, that she's like making gourmet dinners for her kids every day.

Every night.

Appetizer, entree, and dessert.

Like she's literally making taco night and a cake.

And a tresleches cake.

But like there was a time when like, you know, if the kids are off at school, what am I doing this afternoon?

I'm making a three-course meal.

Yeah.

But no, instead.

I'm working.

I'm podcasting.

No, and the thing is, when I look at like a woman in the kitchen on TV, it's like idyllic.

But like Joanna Gaines, like is like the opposite of a woman in a kitchen.

She runs like a billion dollar business.

Right.

Yeah.

Here she is in the kitchen.

Right.

Makes you think.

It's like no matter how far we come.

We're always just going to be back in the kitchen.

But it's a nice place place to be it is it is but watching her was making my back hurt mostly because my my back hurts but there is an expiration on how long i can stand in the kitchen of course

same and i didn't just give birth like yeah i can't i'm really like i was just telling you my legs hurt like i can't be like that active i look forward to the day when i'm not like

on a

clock of like when until my back breaks.

Yeah.

Like I got 10 standing minutes, 20 standing minutes.

You'll get there.

Yeah.

It's just painful.

And I want to get back in the kitchen.

Of course.

Where I belong.

Where are you?

Literally go.

I know.

Well, Joanna made this lasagna.

Yeah.

And, you know, she did it in a Dutch oven.

So she didn't have to like, the torture of lasagna is like making your noodles, layering.

She just threw it all in this pot.

Well, that's the beauty of a lasagna.

It really is a one-pot dish.

But it requires a lot of work before it's in one pot.

Right.

But I love a one-pot dish.

And a lasagna is a casserole, they say.

Yep, but not the way she made it because she she made it in a Dutch oven.

Instead of a casserole dish?

True, but could you make a casserole in a Dutch oven?

Yum.

But then it wouldn't be a casserole.

Really?

What makes a casserole dish?

The dish.

But what's, what are the specs of a casserole dish?

What would you say is your favorite dish?

Um, a mug?

That's like one of my favorite moments to cite in pop culture history.

And I wonder if Dimitria Lovato truly knows.

Like, was she in on the joke when she said that

like this i can't imagine like someone who's so talented and singing wise could be like that funny yeah but the thing is like the person interviewing her i think she was doing like foreign television so maybe demi was just like lost in like i think she was lost in there's no way because it's literally so funny yeah and she said like she was spitting facts like she loves a bug like it keeps your drinks hot and she was not wrong for that what's your favorite dish which kind of dish

kitchenware kitchenware And like, I guess dish like for eating.

Wait, so wait.

As opposed to like for cooking, because that feels like two different questions.

My favorite dish.

Like, I don't know.

I don't cook, but I guess the dish I make chili in, which is my Dutch oven.

Oh, okay.

And dish for, like, eating.

Like a fork.

That's your go-to vessel.

A fork?

Like, a bowl?

You don't have a bowl.

Oh, I see your question.

I don't know.

Really?

Did you dip isn't a dish?

No, you know what it is?

Yeah, it is.

What do you mean?

A fork?

It's a dish.

My brain hurts.

To answer your question, my favorite dish is a paper plate.

Like, that's my favorite way to consume like a sandwich or something.

Factual.

That was one of the more like brain-numbing conversations we've had.

I hope you guys actually made it through that to hear the rest of this episode.

Because there's going to be a lot of smart things that happen in this episode and you won't want to miss them.

This episode is, you know what it it should be titled?

Smartless.

Because like we're being dumb.

We're less smart.

And maybe it'll like confuse people who are looking for the, by the way, we're naming today's episode Smartless.

And maybe it'll get the attention of the Smartless guys.

I'm like, we're over here.

Oh, but I don't want to get their attention on this episode.

Yeah, they're going to be like, wow, those two girls are morons.

And they complain they're not number one.

Okay, but we are going to call today's episode Smartless.

Like, just because I think Wednesday's episodes always do really well for us.

If there wasn't another another podcast called Smartless, like that should be the tale of this episode.

It's appropriate because we're being dumb.

I would say less smart.

Equals dumb.

So glad we settled that.

Should we dive in, girlfriend?

Yes.

Without further ado, to do to do about our favorite dishes, it is time for the fast five stories that you maybe or maybe not need to know.

I'm going to go with maybe not today.

No, I think you.

No, they're not actually not bad.

Because you never know what else you'll find out in between the stories.

Also, like, if you made it through yesterday's stories, like, you'll be fine.

Life is about reading between the stories.

I love that.

Could your finger be closer to my face?

I mean, get a bigger studio, bitch.

Like, I'm going to go cross side.

Am I that close?

Do it to me.

Oh, yeah.

Like, I can see your whole nail.

Okay.

More dumb.

Wow.

Today's episode really is dumb.

Okay.

Well, this is a dumbass episode.

Maybe it's time for us to go back to the kitchen.

Maybe the working world.

Maybe our work here is done.

Well,

this dumbass episode.

I keep reaching for my iPad.

No, it's a new tactic.

Let's see how it works.

You know, we've graduated from jingles.

Right.

That went over amazingly.

Yeah.

Are you ready for the stories now?

I guess.

Joe Jonas' exes, Sophie Turner and Taylor Swift, step out for a girls' night amid

divorce and diverse.

The diverse divorcing.

Sophie Turner stepped out for a girls' night with Joe's ex and, you know, her friend, Taylor Swift, in New York City on Tuesday night.

They grabbed dinner at Via Caroda.

Turner, who split from Joe earlier this month after four years of marriage, showed off her stomach in a plunging halter top, matching pants, and sneakers.

They both wore ponytails.

Okay, so nobody cares about their ponytails.

Everybody was like, freaking.

I hate that that like we're referring, like Taylor Swift is like not Joe Jonas's ex.

Like, that's literally someone she did in a middle school.

Yeah, it's at this point,

it's a coincidence, really, because they are just friends, right?

And they're just like Hollywood starlets who are hanging out, really having nothing to do.

It might be that like they only know each other because at one point in time, or maybe they're as close as they are because at one point in time, Taylor and Joe knew each other, but like they're really not exes.

Like, let's calm down.

Or do you think that they actually would have been closer if it wasn't like they had this mutual

at the time?

Because even like they probably would have been friends regardless of Joe, but when it's technically your man's ex, how close are you going to get?

No, it's really not your man's ex.

They dated when they were like literally 17.

It doesn't count.

But it counts for Taylor.

Everything counts for Taylor.

No, and I actually think like her being married to Taylor's like a high school boyfriend.

is the reason they are so close because like Taylor Obviously has made amends with Joe.

Now I send their babies presents and she leaned on Sophie during like the fearless era.

Fearless, she was like promoting a bunch of Mr.

Perfectly Fine.

So I think like they're close because she's a Swifty, but they have this like connection.

And it's not weird because.

No, it's not weird.

And I don't think they spent dinner like trashing Joe.

No, I actually don't even think they spoke about it.

Like I think she was just trying to get her girly like out on the town, you know, positive vibes, divorce party.

I'm sure they spoke about it because it's like the biggest thing going on in Sophie's life, but Taylor wasn't coming from a place of experience.

Like, no, like he did the same thing to me.

Right.

No, like, I bet she doesn't even remember.

We're not the same.

They don't, she doesn't even remember the time they spent together.

Like, seriously.

But you know, she does because she remembers everything.

Yeah.

Oh, I remember.

She remembers.

Well, this was fabulous.

And it did make me a little annoyed because I was supposed to go home on Sunday and Taylor has been out and about.

She was at Zerobon via Corota.

Like, I could have been.

I probably would have been laying in bed, but I could have been.

Yeah.

Maybe Zerobon, probably not via Corota.

no i don't know you to go there i don't really but now i need to start

but this looks fun it does and it feels like a choice you know it is it is and the um paparazzi photos of them leaving the restaurant are really cute but then when you watch like the actual walking out of the restaurant take place on video it's apocalyptic there are 5 000 people like girls just and there's not even like a barricade or anything they're just standing outside the door of the restaurant giving taylor and sophie like room to walk nobody like attacked them or anything.

It was the weirdest thing to watch, like the actual video.

Yeah, they usually are.

It's like kind of awkward.

Yeah.

And they, and really, but the pictures wind up like being fabulous.

Because, and I've noticed this, like, they walk really slow.

Taylor and Sophie were walking really slow, like hand in hand in unison.

Cause like, this is a fabulous photo.

This is a great press moment for both of them, especially when the press has been like really mean to Sophie recently.

So

They're walking like literal zombies like so slow and intentional.

Yeah, it is Well, I hope they had fun.

Me too.

What do you like?

What do you think they did afterwards?

Like bake cookies and drink wine?

Yeah, but then why'd they go out to dinner?

Well, maybe for this picture.

To be spotted and like, you know, they're both women in the media.

Like, they got to be seen.

And what do you think about the outfits?

Oh, let me see.

Oh, I thought Taylor looked very cool.

Like, I would literally never wear this jacket, but like, she looked fabulous.

And it's giving, you know, Sophie's outfit is giving like the big pants trend we were talking about recently.

It's not my favorite.

I think it's actually terrible.

I think Taylor looks amazing.

What do you think?

I think there's elements of each outfit that I appreciate, but as a whole, not my favorite.

Okay.

But there's elements.

Taylor has never been, like, I love my queen would literally lay my life hat on the line for her.

She has never been, been, been, she has never been like the best dressed celebrity at any moment in time.

Yeah.

She always does a good job.

It's never life-changing.

It's never, you know, edgy or daring.

It's just fine.

I wonder why she doesn't go all the way.

Right.

Like with like the best stylist.

Don't have to think about it.

I don't know, but I also think like her outfits like actually really are a reflection of her personal style.

And I just don't think her personal style is like that crazy or amazing.

Yeah, because like, which is fine, which is so fine.

I actually, the more I think about it, I appreciate it.

She can't be the best at everything.

No, and all of her creativity like it's channeled into her music songwriting.

And I do wish like more celebrities would.

dress normalselves.

No, and it's like everybody all the time.

Like there are some celebrities who like just crush it and street style is like and have like a natural

ability to like style themselves.

They also have stylists, but they also have a natural ability to just like carry the latest trends.

Yeah.

Not talking about them.

But like it is fun to see what people would pick out their own outfit.

To go to dinner with a friend.

Right.

Yeah.

I agree.

Like it doesn't have to be like the most at the airport all the time.

Yeah.

Like it's setting unrealistic expectations for women who are supposed to be in the kitchen.

Right.

Do less.

Put on your apron.

Call it a day.

Put on your apron and your oven mitts.

Like that's all you're going to need to wear today.

are you ready for our next story yeah kim kardashian has been quote hanging out with odell beckham jr

so page six is reporting that kim and odell have been spending some time quality time together in recent weeks an insider told page six that kim and the baltimore ravens wide receiver oh i thought he was on the giants that was like a million years ago have been hanging out casually following his split from his girlfriend lolo wood however sources to both kim and odell tell page six the pair are friends and have been mostly hanging out in groups as they share a lot of mutual acquaintances.

They insisted that Kim is not seriously dating anyone at the moment, but is open to finding love again if she meets the right person.

However, right now, her main footo case is her kids and her business.

I do think that he's actually like probably a good match for her.

He's like a really well-respected football player and I feel like he's like a cool person too.

Like a lot of celebrities like him and hang out with him, so he must be like a great guy.

I'm just kind of in like my I don't care about Kim era.

You feel like I actually actually yawned when you said this story?

You chose it.

I did.

Oh my God, I did.

Thank you.

Because like I like people care, I guess.

But I just maybe I maybe I chose it so I could, you know, get on my soapbox and be like, Kim's not doing it for me recently.

Okay.

Yeah.

I kind of feel like it's still in that low

of quietness.

And also this to me feels really obvious.

Like

maybe they are dating.

Great.

Maybe they're just friends.

Great.

Right.

Don't care either way.

Great.

It's not like an inspired, different, like we could talk about it for hours.

and like kim's in a new era and trying like new things like pete davidson we spoke about at length because it was so crazy and i really expected that like the next person she dates would be like a private person yeah not a celebrity so for her to be dating like a charming single celebrity who everybody loves right who's like a eligible bachelor yeah it's

obvious yeah

So,

and then also the same sources who say they're dating are also saying they're not dating and they're just hanging out as friends.

Okay, well, that also is a good launching pad for me to ask you.

Like, what do you think is going on truly with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey?

Because there's been like a few updates, no confirmation of any sorts, but like it kind of feels like they're not dating and Travis is like excited to let people think that they are.

That's exactly what it feels like.

Also, did you see that Jason Kelsey like said they're dating?

And then said he doesn't know what goes on in Travis's life personal life, but he hopes he ends up with someone great, you know?

Yeah.

They're so not dating.

I know, I think they're literally not dating, but she'll never come out and say that they're not dating she just lets people say whatever they want about her so he's like basking in the fame and the press i really feel like these two people have never met yeah it was like when harry jousey was dating chloe kardashian like he's gonna milk it of course eat it up these people and i would expect that from like a reality star and influencer and podcaster i wouldn't expect that from travis kelsey but he i i had said at the end of last football season where it was like kelse this kelsey that like travis is a little thirsty Yeah, he's he's silly.

And he doesn't take himself seriously, which I appreciate.

So he'll have fun with rumors like this.

Yeah.

I don't think he's really trying to convince people that he's dating Taylor, but it's like, oh, that's funny.

Let me go with it.

And then Taylor was wearing like a necklace.

She was like going to record music and the paparazzi got her and it was a necklace and it happened to be like his birthstone.

Which is what?

I don't know.

Google his birthstone.

It's probably like diamond.

Like it's right.

That's what I'm saying.

Ruby.

Right.

Like necklaces are made with different types of stones all the time.

It's not a coincidence.

No, but there are some like my birthstone.

Nobody's just casually walking around with it yellow topaz.

Oh, I agree.

So he celebrates his birthday on October 5th.

Making it.

He's a Libra and Opal.

It's giving yellow Topaz.

It's a little niche.

What's my birthstone?

Ruby, I think.

I think so.

I was about to search Claudia Ashri birthstone.

I'm sure it would come up.

July birthstone

is ruby.

Look at these ruby items.

Give me something.

I like this ring.

Even when she's working, she can't stop investing back to the kitchen from grown brilliance that's a nice ring

hold on sorry my 100

my 100 gift that is a nice ring i don't love my birthstone like what am i gonna wear red jewelry like just be glad it's not yellow topaz yeah show me what i don't even know what a yellow topaz looks like me neither

definitely one of the worst ones which one is diamond like that's not fair Margo, I think.

Oh, Margo's Emerald.

Oh, that's nice.

Which is a really nice one.

Oh, it's yellow.

It's just yellow.

It's Topaz and Citrie.

Can you diamond birthstone?

Pull up a list of all the birthstones.

That's a good call.

Instead of each one, we'll be here for 12 hours.

But I just have to say, like, birthstones?

Get a life.

Random.

No, I agree.

Like, birthstones, people who, like, I mean, that's literally us right now.

I was going to be like, people who talk about birthstones, like, get a life.

No, but seriously, get a life.

Like, whoever noticed that Taylor Swift was wearing a topaz or whatever it was, opal.

Like, why do you know that?

Okay.

January, okay, garnet.

Ooh, that might be worse than yellow topaz.

Agreed.

It's just red and it's not ruby.

Right.

February, amethyst.

Not bad.

Fun to say.

Amethyst.

Amethyst.

March, aquamarine.

That movie saved that birthstone.

100%.

April, diamond.

Fuck, that's been.

May, emerald.

Now, let me ask you a a question.

Are these like horoscope dates or is it all of April?

Month.

Okay.

Month, which is much more palatable for me.

What did you say May was?

Emerald.

That was beautiful.

June, Pearl.

Beautiful.

That's nice.

And Alexandrite.

Oh, they get two.

I guess November has two also.

We'll get to it.

July, ruby.

August, Peridot.

But it's pretty.

It's like a lime green.

I just feel like July should have gotten diamond.

Like if our horoscope sign is going to be cancer.

But I don't think the people who invented birthstones and horoscopes were chatting i just think somebody should have been you know thinking about the people born in july yeah

and they weren't they weren't september sapphire gorgeous gorgeous october opal and tourmaline which is pink cute tourmaline yeah you know that yeah how i don't know i never heard of it i have

What do you like when I congratulate?

Mimi Mimi Moon.

Keep going.

Congrats.

November.

Congrats.

Congrats.

November.

Oh, my God.

Our camera's not recording.

Yes, it is.

Gotcha.

Gotcha.

November, yellow topaz and citrine.

Citrine?

Sounds like someone you clean your sink with.

We have two yellowstones.

Yellowstone.

Yellowstone.

That's my birthstone.

Yellowstone.

And December, blue topaz and blue zircon.

Not the zirconia.

They have two blue stones.

So

it definitely feels like the distribution.

Oh, excuse me.

It definitely feels like the distribution of good

birthstones like is not fair.

Yeah, but it's just like there's only a handful of great stones.

Diamond, emerald, sapphire, ruby, pearl, pearl, aquamarine.

Earl.

Now you like pearls, right?

Do I?

I feel like you do.

I feel like you've been wearing pearls recently.

I haven't.

I know what conversation we're talking about.

Like you and I were, but no.

You were like looking for a set of pearls.

No, I bought a necklace that was made of pearl.

Remember?

No.

I'm picking it up next week.

Remember, I made a big investment I told you about.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that's actually not what I'm talking about.

No, you were looking for a set of pearls.

No, I really.

To complete your like classy look.

No, I think like a pearl necklace is like the weirdest thing.

Oh, you're still on that.

Yeah.

Okay, so I won't add it to the list yet.

Yeah, no, not yet.

Are you ready for our next story?

What number?

Three.

Trisleches.

Tresletches cake.

Yeah.

Thana White extends her Wheel of Fortune contract through the 2025-2026 season.

Thana White has extended her contract on Wheel of Fortune by two years as the show begins its farewell season with longtime host Pat Sajak.

Thana has inked a contract extension that keeps her revealing letters on the durable syndicated game show through 2025 to 2026.

Pat announced earlier this year his plans to retire.

Ryan Seacrest will be taking on

that it was Ryan Seacrust.

And then there were a lot of questions about will Vanna upshot him into the new era.

It should really be, have we said this that it should be

Julianne Huff and Ryan Seacrest?

No, it should be like she'll sachet her way across that thing to the letters and they could fall in love again.

Yeah, it's like a will they, won't they?

Right.

And that's what it's really always been like for, you think Vanna and Pat ever fucked?

For sure.

It's Hollywood.

It's Hollywood, baby.

Like, definitely.

But this is interesting because there were a lot of questions.

Like, and I think also people felt like Vanna, maybe Vanna should have Pat's job.

Like, no, I think people were also feeling like, Vanna, give it up.

Ooh.

Because also, I had heard that, like, Pat Sajak's daughter was like a pageant queen who was like in the running for the next Vanna position.

Well, she'll just have to wait till 2026.

But Vanna said, hold my letters, bitch.

I'm going back.

But I also feel like Vanna drove a hard bargain because she brings a lot of the old time legitimacy to the show.

Yep.

And if

everything is all new, then it will be ruined, like everything else that's all new.

Yes, but also like rip off the bandaid, you know, we're changing hat, like just switch it up.

I'm, I don't think so.

I feel like they do that all the time where they're like, we want young and fresh and everybody, you're fired.

Gen Z, yeah.

And it turns to shit.

So I think like this slow rollout and eventually Vanna can go, but I think her being there to show Ryan the ropes and let viewers know like the show's not changing too much because you have to think of the viewers of the show and they're not Jen Z.

No, they're not.

They're not watching in between renegades.

I

feel like people look at Vanaway and they're like, that's such an easy job.

I, you know, anyone could do it.

And to be honest, I can't think of a job I'd like less.

Like standing in heels for hours.

Like we see 30 minutes, but they shoot so many episodes back to back.

We don't see them cutting.

We don't see them resetting the lights.

She has to be like perfect posture perfect smile on her face my god like that actually sounds horrible yeah what about when vanna's having a hard day what about what vanna wants what about what vanna needs well she definitely got a nice hefty contract and we'll see her through 2025 to 2026 she's like a really good level of celebrity in the sense that she has like household recognition like she's

Like she's a household name.

Everybody knows her name.

And like, if I saw her at the grocery store, I probably wouldn't wouldn't recognize her and i certainly wouldn't ask for a picture if i did recognize her yeah but you wouldn't would you ask for a picture with like taylor if you saw her well that's like you i can't answer that question in just like a simple yes or no it's like

use someone else kim yeah like i would ask him for a picture okay like i'm hell-bent on becoming friends with taylor swift which is why like i don't think i could really ask her for a picture Okay, also, Maggie Sajak, the daughter, will continue being a social media correspondent for the show.

Okay, so that's like a good, you know, you have to start somewhere.

Yeah, and you have to work your way up.

Yeah, you do.

Just because you're Pat's daughter doesn't mean

you get to turn the letters.

Nepotism is unless it's bring your daughter to work day.

Is so, Hollywood is so rife with nepotism, like it's even taking on Wheel of Fortune.

Yeah, for sure.

I mean, she is a social media correspondent.

No, and I just want to say, like, I'm here for it.

That's nepotism that doesn't bother me.

As long as she's good at the job.

Yeah.

Speaking of job, get to work.

Oh, so now I can speak.

Yep.

Okay.

Well, today's episode is brought to you by Poise, you guys, because here at the Toast, we love Poise Ultra Thins.

Becoming a mom has come with a lot of big changes, and especially with baby number two, I'm experiencing some of that all over again.

You know, the joys of postpartum life, everything from my water breaking to post-birth recovery to, you know, this sneeze here and there.

Oh, poise ultrathins gets me through.

Something super common that we don't always talk about when it comes to the postpartum life is bladder leaks.

One in two women over 20 experience bladder leaks and most young moms try to use period pads to solve the problem.

But I bet you didn't know this, period pads aren't designed for P and the absorption is different for

period tings and P tings.

Interesting.

And that's just something I know as a woman in STEM.

Thankfully, poise ultra thins are specifically designed for bladder leaks and they keep you 10 times drier than the leading pad.

The clean, dry, and fresh protection these pads provide is a lifesaver, and they're shaped to fit and flex with your body so you can stay comfortable and live without compromise.

Poise Ultra Thins offer with and without wings so you can live worry-free.

Claudia is an anti-wing person.

I don't like wings.

I like wings, and personally, I have enough on my plate as a mom, so I love the idea of taking one worry off the list.

It takes poise.

I like to share with my girl.

True, like more connected.

On the same page.

Our next story.

Bijou Phillips requests spousal support from Danny Masterson in prison as divorce docs indicate the exes had no prenup.

So Bijou.

Bijou filed for divorce and she's asking for spousal support in her divorce from her husband, Danny Masterson after he was recently sentenced to 30 years to life in prison in his rape retrial.

The actress filed for divorce on Monday after nearly 12 years of marriage and requested to terminate the court's ability to grant support to Masterson with whom she shares a nine-year-old daughter.

She requested that she be granted full legal and physical custody of the daughter while Masterson be given visitation rights.

She also asked that their assets be divided up by the court as separate property with no indication in the papers that the exes had a preamp in place.

She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.

Well, that's putting it mildly.

I just wonder why you would like stick with your man during the trial, if only just to get divorced.

Well, maybe it's like, okay, you're spending the next 30 years to life in prison.

Like there's no more marriage here.

You know, what if I want to like move on with my life, get remarried?

Like I'll still come and visit you.

Who knows?

I have no idea what's actually going on.

But like if your man's going to be behind bars,

forever.

Zach's behind bars for 30 years.

And let's say like, let's take the crime out of it.

Cause of course, like, if somebody did something if zach did something abhorrent right you would leave him because of that right but let's take the crime out of it like zach is going to prison for 30 years 30 to life i thought let's say 30 okay 30 so in 30 years and but also these people are older than us right right they're like 40 right so what are you doing

But I'm talking about at this current moment, I really couldn't say.

I really couldn't say either.

I would like to think like Ben would want me to move on, you know?

Like, just to make the decision easier for me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Or or I'd be like, listen, I will come visit you.

I will like write to you.

Bring you care packages.

Fill up your commissary.

Like I will be there for you.

We could stay married.

Yeah.

But like a girl's got to eat.

No, no, no.

Like

you will never know.

Like

what I'm doing on the outside will never affect how I'm treating you on the inside.

Yeah.

We need to be able to be able to have a life.

Like I need to go out on dates and like

you're legally married to someone.

Cause that's like a lot of baggage for the person that you're dating.

No, but like, I would stay legally married.

Oh.

And be like, listen, this could work out.

We, we can only be together for 30 years.

That's what I, and what's bad.

Yeah, that's longer than most marriages.

Right.

So I'm feeling like maybe it's to do with that.

Like, she's really, they're never going to be able to be married again.

Right.

Hence, divorce.

I just like.

I don't understand.

Like, he was really, he was accused of such heinous crimes.

Like, to stand by your man man like that, like is.

She obviously like believed that he did not do such things.

Right.

So she thinks he's an innocent man in prison and she's going to divorce him.

Like it's just not adding up.

One plus one is equaling sock.

Yeah.

Also, what doesn't, what confuses me is she's requesting full legal and physical custody of their daughter.

What, no, the daughter's going to live in the prison?

Like, duh.

Duh, right?

I'm so not a lawyer.

No, but this seems...

It just definitely seems like superfluous language.

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

For sure.

Tough stuff.

Do you know Biju Phillips?

I don't.

I mean, I only know her now as like.

They both have fun names to say.

I love saying Danny Masterson.

Do you?

Yeah.

Say it like that.

Danny Masterson.

It's kind of nice.

I didn't know her before.

I know her now as like the Looney Tune who stood by Danny Masterson.

But I don't know if she was like a star before.

She might have been.

Yeah, she's here on like a step and repeat in front of a Netflix like step and repeat.

Let me see.

I don't even know what she looks like, really

okay is it just me or do they look like brother and sister like they literally they actually do no no they look like brother and sister no they seriously do maybe that's like kind of another element of what we claudia can't understand they look exactly alike exactly except for hair facial hair but like if you swapped it if you look past like his beard they're twins i wouldn't be surprised if they seriously were from the same womb claudia the more you look no i know the more it is

And like, they say that people who are married start to like look alike, but only to people who know them.

Right, right.

You have to like know them for a long time and then you see them.

Yeah, and maybe it's just because they're smiling the exact same way in this photo.

No, they have the same eyes.

They're related.

They're literally twins.

Oh.

Bye.

Next story.

Yeah.

Our fifth and final.

Our fifth and final.

Because there's a new doc series out on Apple TV Plus called The Supermodels.

Have you heard about this?

No.

Following Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, and Chrissy Turlington.

And they reflect on how they came to dominate the fashion industry.

So a lot of headlines coming out about some of the tidbits of the show.

Oh, I saw today Cindy Crawford said something about Oprah.

Yeah, she called out Oprah for treating her like chattel by demanding she show off her body on camera at age 20 to prove that she was worthy of fame.

But there's a lot of different headlines from the show that are coming forward about like, I mean, these girls like came of age very young,

90s, crazy.

Is it a reality show or like a documentary?

Documentary.

Got it.

Where I think everyone's like sitting down and telling their story.

I don't know what the, you know, thesis is of the show, but it's definitely fascinating.

Yeah, no, actually, I like that idea.

It kind of reminds me of that iconic e-show with Olivia Colpo.

Mod Squad.

And Mod Squad, yeah.

And bring it back.

Similar, but different.

But different.

Yeah.

But bring it back.

What are the other headlines that are coming out about it?

I have seen the Oprah one.

There was Linda Evangelista shared how she was like made to take pictures at the age of 16, like inappropriate photos and just some of the pressure that they

face as young women in the industry.

Linda Vangelista, the one who coined the term won't get out of bed for less than $10,000.

Yes.

She's my queen because I relate to that.

Like, I'm not getting out of bed unless I'm being paid.

I'm sure she's addressing that comment.

I do want to watch this series.

I know.

Look at Apple, like, making waves.

They're like kind of the most irrelevant streamer, in my opinion.

Like, they're behind Discovery Plus.

They're the only good like thank god someone at apple should seriously give their firstborn child to jason sudekis yeah that's the only reason people buy apple tv and then once they get it they're like oh there are other shows that are like decent shrinking there's some other shit people like but like they came for ted lasso and maybe they stayed so and then the billie eilish documentary which was like the only other thing they ever did and that was a few years ago um so good for them for like actually doing something people give a shit about i think that's really cool and it's never too late yeah linda evangelista recalled being pressured and taking nude photos when she was just 16 years old as she also really disgusting.

Which almost made her give up on modeling.

These women, like, I feel like every fashion week, somebody like brings them out.

They're kind of like a squad.

I wonder if there's like beef between any of them.

Maybe they'll talk about that in the documentary.

Yeah.

I'm sure back in the day there was, but now they're all like mature.

Because Naomi Campbell has said like she was like the worst when she was younger.

But imagine being like

one of the most beautiful women in the world for all of these people, like so successful.

How do you not become a monster?

A monster.

Yeah.

No, I'm like one of the ugliest people in the world and I am a monster.

So I totally get it.

Me and Naomi Campbell are like definitely on the same page.

Yeah, especially with everything they're going through.

It just makes you put your walls up.

Yeah.

Even though had they just, you know, all leaned on each other, it would have been easier, most likely.

Yeah, but no, it's like

you kind of go into survival mode.

Yeah, that does sound good.

That does sound good.

Yeah.

So those are the fast five stories.

And I feel good about them.

I think you were kind of hard on them.

You do?

But I also can recognize like when you choose the stories, you're hardest on yourself.

Like I feel that way all the time, you know, when I choose them.

Yeah.

I just feel like there's a couple of days a year where it's so exciting, where it's like, I cannot wait to get into the fast five.

And I just haven't had one of those days.

Well, there was a story that we actually didn't recount in the fast five big news that happened yesterday.

What?

That Shannon got engaged.

Oh my God.

I meant to bring it up at the beginning of the show.

Thank you so much.

Everyone knows our favorite girlie here, Shannon Ford, host of the probably a podcast show on TNN,

got engaged yesterday.

She called us.

We were like laying in bed watching Joanna and she's like, look what I'm wearing.

And she just put her finger up and like, it took me a second to register.

I'm like, what is she showing me?

Like, cool, you got new jewelry?

Like, I was literally so confused.

And then I put two and two together.

And it's so exciting.

Excuse me.

So exciting.

We're so happy for Shannon.

So everybody go with Shannon a big Mazeltov from the toast community.

What a good day.

What a good day.

And she's posting so much content.

Like, we need more.

Premium.

And people are like shy about like their big like life moments.

Like share.

Share.

Okay.

So like I did, I do a Q ⁇ A on my Instagram.

Like I try and do it like every couple of weeks, like keep up with peeps.

And all the questions are about Ozempic.

And I don't want to answer every single one about Ozempic, but like some of them are good questions.

And yesterday, literally, page six like ran the question somebody asked about like how I'm showing my arms now.

And I used to only wear like short sleeves or long sleeves.

I would never show my arms before in like a tank top.

And if I had I known like it would be written up, maybe I would have like worded it differently, but it was just like a stupid QA, like who's fucking reading these things?

I have to be much more careful.

Now you know how celebs feel.

Everything is great, except for one huge problem.

Our animals do not get along whatsoever.

I have a cat.

He has two dogs.

The one time we tried to get them together to meet, it ended horribly.

His dog attacked my cat so bad to the point where I had to take an emergency vet trip at two in the morning.

Needless to say, the idea of them living together seems pretty far-fetched.

Getting rid of either pets is pretty much out of the question as we both have had them for multiple years.

I genuinely don't know what to do.

The idea of obedience training has been brought up, but as an eight-year-old dog, I'm not sure it would go over well.

Our relationship is truly amazing and we want to take the next step, but this is turning into a huge issue.

Okay, I'm not a dog behavioral specialist, so I don't know what can be done, but I just think like you have to get rid of the cat.

It's so simple.

Cats are gross.

Well, that's always an option to re-home one of these animals.

She said it's actually really not an option.

Like, would you ever re-home

to you if it wasn't working out in my home?

Like, really?

I mean, I, I would need to have a really, really good reason, but it's not out of the question.

Well, yeah, you're just lucky that you have me.

Yeah, but do you have a loved one?

But that's the last response.

Yeah.

That will be if nothing else works.

But you said they meant one time and it didn't go well.

Now, I don't want to put your cat, continue to put your cat in harm's way, but like maybe it takes some time, time and practice, and them being around each other.

And maybe a dog behavioral specialist, which I am not one, so this is not based in anything.

But like, maybe it's like they spend five minutes together.

Then the next day it's 10 minutes.

Like maybe they have to, you know, you have to try work together.

You definitely have to try a few different things before you make any big decisions because, like you said, you only did did it once and it ended poorly.

So like, maybe to try.

Was the environment not calm?

Like, I know, you know, trainers have all of these different tactics.

I don't know exactly what they are, but I imagine that there are slow ways to bring them together.

You definitely need to consult some sort of trainer.

I don't think you can do this on your own.

And you need to try.

Like, these are.

two really important three because he has two dogs three really important animals in your life like you have to try but you shouldn't stall your life like your progress with your boyfriend moving in together like being happy You need to get to work.

Yeah.

Also, if those things don't work or don't exist, then think about rehoming the cat to a loved one where you can visit the cat all of the time.

The thing is, like, you got to make it work because if someone's going to go, it's going to be the cat because he has two dogs who get along together.

So what, are we going to rehome?

Two dogs or one cat?

Yeah, cats are easier to pass off on to a loved one.

Definitely.

So that's.

Your cat's on the chopping box.

So it's like up to you.

I feel like Jackie from Dog Friendly Living might have some tips.

She has a really great Instagram account if you want to check it out at dog friendly living.

She might have, you know, solutions for this very problem.

Like, do cats and dogs historically not get along?

They fight like cats and dogs.

Right.

Yikes.

Yikes.

Your cat is on the shopping block just letting you know.

So like it's up to you.

Because your man is sitting pretty being like, I'm not going to get rid of two dogs.

No.

So let's let her figure it out.

And I think that there could be solutions.

I'm not hopeless, but I'm also a realist.

Yeah, like it's not looking good.

But I think there's ways.

Yeah.

Ways.

All right, ready for our next one?

I love this question because I literally, like, I experienced this firsthand.

Hi, queens.

Love the show, and I could use some advice.

We have a friend in our friend group that always insists on taking pictures on her phone when we go out.

She then severely edits the photos with FaceTune and other apps before sharing them back to us.

All the fun memories we have captured in various pictures are now completely altered with skinny filters, glam makeup, etc.

I'm all for her doing whatever she wants to make herself feel comfortable and confident on her personal social medias, but I don't want my social media and personal memories to be flawed and disingenuous.

I've even had other friends outside of our group say that she looks absolutely nothing like the pictures and that it's misleading.

I want to say something, but I also don't want to be an asshole.

Please send help.

What's your experience?

Oh my God, I used to be friends with this girl who like literally would not take a singular photo on anyone's phone but hers.

And like she would literally like be so strict about whoever was taking the photo.

Stand up, get on your knees, move to the left, move to the right.

We'd take a million photos, group photos, and then like later that week, we would get the one approved photo that we could all post.

It's like, girl, give me the photos.

Like, I don't like this one.

Yeah.

Like, it's, it's just, it's really annoying.

Um, you have to stop taking pictures with that girl.

That's the end of, or stop being friends with her.

Start taking pictures on your own phone.

Yeah.

And if she doesn't want unfiltered pictures of herself out there, which she's entitled, then she shouldn't be in the picture.

Yeah.

Period.

Just start, like, what does she, she's a boss of you?

Take a picture on your phone.

Take a picture on your phone and she gets out.

Like, she'll be out of the photos.

Be like, literally, just call.

It's like, these people who do this, they think they're so subtle.

Like no one will notice if I'm always using my phone and I send them this.

I'm sure nobody's ever called her out, but next time there's a group photo, how many times has the person taking a group photo, whether it's a stranger or person in the group, been given more than one phone?

A million times.

I want your phone.

And if she says that me, like, get out of the picture.

Get out of the picture.

You don't have to be in the picture.

Quote, I want this on my phone.

People say that all the time for their own reasons.

And then she'll be like, I'll send it to you.

No, I want this on my phone.

Yeah.

I want this on my phone.

You need to be a little bit more aggressive.

Like she's conquered your group successfully because you've all laid down your arms.

You laid, you rolled over and you're just.

Where's the resistance?

Put up up resistance.

It really shouldn't be that hard, but just know that you can.

And the solution, because I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable.

I don't want someone having pictures of themselves on the internet that they aren't happy with.

So she just needs to leave the photos.

She's aside or maybe put her on the end where we can crop her.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But you need to put up resistance.

Yeah.

Like, come on, toughen up.

Yeah.

I want this on my phone.

Luckily for me, the situation remedied itself where like I just happened to stop being friends with that person.

Like nothing happened.

Was that person an influencer?

No.

Yes.

I'm just saying, influencers have their own reasons.

Yeah, no, this is their business.

And by the way, I was like new to like the influencer world.

So I was like, well, I guess this is what we're doing.

But then I was like, just like with my friends, and I was like, I have no pictures.

I'm like, this is fucking annoying.

Yeah.

Or you could, if you really like want to get crafty,

you could get like a cool new camera and be like, we have to take this on the camera.

Oh, now she's burdening.

She hasn't the expense on her back.

Yeah, if you have to spend money.

If you want this girl's a mental patient, you won't go toe-to-toe with her.

Right.

No, you have to be brave.

You have to be brave.

I want to see you be brave.

I want to see you.

I just want to see you.

I want to see you.

I want to see you be brave.

Done.

All right.

Third and final.

Dear Trudy, Trudy, and Jax, want to start off by saying,

as a religious YouTube watcher, Deer Toasters is my favorite thing ever.

As in, she watches YouTube religiously or she's a religious woman.

I'm going to go with a religious woman.

She says, I love dear toasters.

It is my favorite thing ever.

It's what gets me through my hump days.

I need your advice.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for basically a year at this point, and I haven't had a good night's sleep since.

We don't live together, but he really likes sleeping together.

So we go to bed together basically every night.

I wouldn't mind, except he's the...

Oh yeah, definitely not religious.

I wouldn't mind, except he's the loudest, most disruptive sleeper I've ever experienced.

He snores every night and when he isn't snoring, he's a mouth breather, which is just as bad.

He also wakes up in the middle of the night.

We'll go on his phone with the brightness full-on bright.

I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I want to know how he can politely say I want to start sleeping apart more so that I can actually get some rest during the week.

Also, I'm low-key worried that his mouth

breathing is affecting his facial structure.

Thanks for the help.

Love ya.

A sleepless toaster.

Well, this is a question for turdy because I don't sleep with a snoring man.

I do a mouth breather and a wheezer and everything else that Ben does.

So I feel like there's a lot of things going on here.

Like, yes, if you started sleeping apart, it would fix your problem, but like temporarily.

In the future, this is the person you're hopefully going to be sleeping with every night for the rest of your life so i think that's just putting the ball down the field and i don't think that actually is helpful i agree it's not about saying i want nights to myself it's about fixing these things him being a disruptive sleeper on his phone that's something you very clearly just say like listen you're on your phone with full brightness in the middle of the night it wakes me up either put your brightness down go into the other room that's non-negotiable like that's easy to fix that's easy you just say how you feel and you're right in how you're feeling the snoring Now, I have been there.

Ben is both a snorer and a mouth breather.

And last night is a perfect example.

He has a runny nose.

Oh my God, he was so loud.

Like,

like, I wanted to kill him.

So here's what we do.

For the snoring, Ben uses breathe right strips.

They actually really work.

Then he started to complain because he used them so much.

He started to get like a little irritation on his nose.

I'm like, you're fine.

I put aquaphor on it.

Breathe right strips really work for the snoring.

But also what really helps is, and I was not a believer in like white noise or like background noise.

I was not a believer, but we have a humidifier that's so loud.

it drowns everything out like the city noise when we're here we don't have our humidifier ben always puts on his white noise machine it's not not even white noise.

Actually, I don't like white noise.

It's the white noise app and it's the air conditioning one.

Like I like a really loud air conditioner, like I'm sleeping in a vent or something.

You need a hatch, honestly.

It drowns everything out.

Like there are ways to either fix the snoring or fix your ability to hear it.

Do both.

Yeah.

Like we, now when we go to sleep, we have so many sound things on, like the big humidifier, Ben's thing.

And honestly, I really like it.

That's great.

Yeah.

I've been using my hatch, which I love.

And I like to listen to the light rain.

Yeah.

They also have brown noise because sometimes white noise can be like a lot.

Brown noise is really nice.

So incorporate all these things into your life.

There are ways.

This is not like a deal breaker.

It's not the end of the world.

You're not going to have to sleep in separate beds.

Like millions of women sleep with men who are loud.

And we're finding ways around it.

Also, maybe if you get a noise machine, your boyfriend will sleep deeper and he won't wake up in the middle of the night and be on his phone.

That too.

And there are also things you can do in your everyday life, like snoring.

You're not really supposed to snore.

And Ben has lost a lot of weight.

He's on his own big too and he snores significantly i would say 70 less so

take a shot and shoot up your boyfriend no don't shoot give your boyfriend ozemic but i'm saying like certain lifestyle changes can help snoring yes like ben used to exclusively sleep on his back and that's when you snore now he sleeps on his side sometimes his stomach because he's just like smaller smaller so there are things you could do I think those are a lot of really helpful tools.

Yeah, I feel like I helped the third girl the most.

Yeah.

Like the pet girl, we were basically like figured out.

No.

And the girl with the photos, we actually gave good advice to.

Yeah, I think we helped everyone.

Yeah.

I think we all got great advice.

I think we're all really helpful.

I think we're all pretty smartless.

I think we're all smartless.

So we're going to wrap this up.

Tomorrow's episode.

Stay tuned.

Who knows what will be of tomorrow.

Oh, actually, I think I said Taylor Streker.

I have to text her and see if she's available.
