    Good morning, Millennials.

    Welcome back to the toast.

    Happy Thursday.

    Hope everyone's having a great day.

    Today is a very special, unexpected episode of Course Jackie's in New York.

    You would expect me and Jax in studio.

    But Harry takes priority, and Harry is sick.

    Harry needs to go to the doctor.

    Yes.

    So, of course, our number one priority here at the toast is protecting Raldini.

    Of course.

    So, that's why God gave me so many sisters.

    I could just rotate them in when I needed one.

    So, the Sacheler is here.

    The Sachela is here.

    Snatch.

    Hi.

    How are you doing?

    I'm good.

    How are you?

    Thanks for having me.

    Thank you so much for being here on such short notice.

    I appreciate it.

    Jackie appreciates it.

    Harry appreciates it.

    The toasters appreciate it.

    Of course.

    And I feel like, you know, it's actually been a minute since the Sacheler gave us some of her time.

    I know.

    I was thinking about it on my way here when the last time I did it was and I don't know.

    Coming maternity leave.

    Oh, oh, yeah.

    I was thinking it was obviously before Jackie moved.

    Right.

    But I don't know when.

    So thanks for being here.

    How are you doing?

    I'm great.

    Are you nervous?

    No, like literally not at all.

    I am because for some reason, like, I don't know what the fuck your interests are.

    Like, that was so not true.

    No, I was trying to pick story when it comes to pop culture, not in like life.

    No, I'm interested in everything pop culture besides housewives.

    I know.

    I just don't know why I can't see you sitting down having a conversation about like the Royals or Whoopi Goldberg, you know, putting the kibosh on any future biopics about her life.

    Well, yeah, I don't really care about that.

    Like, I feel like

    the youngins, like the young stuff.

    I know.

    I was looking for like TikTok drama, but there really wasn't a lot.

    So I tried to cater the stories to your interests today.

    You know what should be a story was the way that Addison Rae looked at that event.

    She looked stunning.

    Yeah,

    that should be a story.

    Is Addison Rae your favorite young person of the moment?

    Oh, that's such a good question.

    No, because I feel like she's just been like doing her own thing.

    I don't really know what she's up to.

    What about Jenna Ortega?

    She's having a moment.

    I haven't watched Wednesday yet.

    Me neither.

    But I want to, though.

    I want to learn the dance.

    Yeah.

    Oh, I have to think about that.

    Who have I been like?

    You're a resonant young person.

    I know.

    She's getting old, though.

    I know, by the way.

    I used to be the resident young person.

    Yeah.

    It's like so sad.

    There's so much to discuss.

    The first is that yesterday's episode, bombshell interview with Jumois.

    People were obsessed.

    I listened.

    My friends were texting me about it.

    No, it was like kind of a big deal.

    Yeah.

    And it did then fuel a lot of the conspiracy theories that I am Dumois because I wasn't here.

    I mean, did you even think about that?

    I didn't, but then when Dumois came on and was saying how she thinks I'm so funny, like, that does sound like something I would say about myself.

    Right, but you don't have the same voice.

    No, no.

    And a lot of people were shook by her voice.

    I don't know why.

    I've listened to content of hers where I thought she was using like a voice disguising as that's what Entie.

    Right.

    But she was using her real voice, and a lot of people said she sounded like Olivia.

    And she did.

    Olivia, if anyone in this family could be Dumois, it would be Olivia.

    You guys are looking at the wrong sister.

    Yeah, a two-year-old.

    A thousand percent.

    Like, she, you guys don't even know.

    Like, Olivia.

    What she's capable of.

    Olivia is Dumois.

    No, I know.

    Yeah.

    But obviously she's not.

    But yesterday's episode did not help stop the theories about our family being connected to Dumois.

    Were we trying to even stop them, though?

    Really?

    No, and honestly, it was just fortuitous timing because I, next week, I haven't even said this yet.

    I'm

    moderating

    like an interview for Dumois.

    Her book is coming, or it came out.

    And so I was like already in communication with her.

    And then we had this opening.

    So it is fortuitous timing, but again, people are just not going to believe me.

    Like, people are just sitting here convinced thinking I'm Dumont.

    You know what?

    I'm down for it because I'm ready for some conspiracy theories about me.

    A thousand percent.

    If like that, if that's what people are thinking about you, I'm obsessed.

    Fabulous.

    Obsessed.

    Amazing.

    I mean, also need to recap just like, A, what's going on in this Snatcheler's life because it's, it's a lot.

    And last night night we went to the tbg awards yeah we did and it was a fabulous evening we looked stunning we really we turned out i know because like i was not feeling stunning like when i was beginning my journey of glamour and then i arrived at the destination and i was shocked so the tpg awards is a fabulous event that happens every year except obviously we've missed the last two because of covid um and let's talk about the last time you were at the tpg awards Why do we have to bring this up?

    Oh, you don't want to?

    No, we can't.

    I think it's a funny story.

    And like, you've come so far in your journey as a woman.

    No, in my journey as a woman of caring.

    Yes.

    As I stand by the fact that it was a cute ass outfit.

    Okay, so the last TPG Awards was, what, 2019?

    Yes.

    Or maybe 2018.

    No, 2019.

    2019.

    And Counselor did not have a good time.

    No, because the theme of the event was like space cadet something, space something, whatever.

    No one decided to go in theme, but it didn't matter because I had this dress.

    It was like so cute and it was like definitely out there.

    And I paired it with a pair of like

    silver like boots that were like giving xenon.

    You took a risk.

    I took a fashion risk.

    And that's what young people should do, especially young people with perfect bodies.

    Thank you.

    That's go for it.

    And like, honestly, like, in the grand scheme of things, like, wasn't like that fucking crazy of an outfit.

    It wasn't.

    Like, I feel like if I wore that now, like, no one would fly.

    Yeah.

    But anyway, so I like Wore and like, you know, was getting ready to go, like, posted, like, you know, I always post like a singing story on Instagram with my outfit.

    And like, and usually the comment, like, my DMs in like seconds is flooded with like oh my god you look amazing link link the dead no that's just not what happened they read you to filth they read me to filth um and like then I'm so and also by the way this is my first time I think like walking any sort of carpet like it was like Getty like it was my first Getty image so like I have that and then I'm going into it and I'm just like obviously feeling like disgusting because why wouldn't I right

    and then like I it just ruined my night like I couldn't have fun like I couldn't tear myself away from my phone

    so I left you turned around and this bitch is gone Yeah, I just, and then I went home crying in the Uber.

    And

    you can't let anyone attack your piece like that.

    I don't think I would let it get to me like that now.

    No, me neither.

    I was young and impressionable then.

    I'm a bitch now.

    Yeah, no.

    And also, like, then when you don't feel confident in your look, whether it's because you just don't like it or

    people have made you feel bad about it, there's really nothing that will ruin your peace and like destroy your self-worth in seconds more than that.

    Seconds.

    And Jackie once said to me when we were younger, I was crying crying over something like stupid.

    And she was like, and people were, I think you guys were like, it was something so dumb, but you guys were just like trying to cheer me up, whatever.

    And she was like, it's not very easy to go from to in seconds.

    It's not very easy to go from sad to happy.

    Like, it's incredibly difficult.

    It's very easy to go from happy to sad.

    Of course, in a second.

    Yeah.

    Well, you looked fabulous last night.

    We really both did.

    Yeah, we did.

    For me, like, the major takeaway of the event was I have to see Betty Who in concert again.

    Yeah.

    And listen to her new album.

    I was not prepared for the level of stanhood.

    I followed her on Instagram last night.

    Like, I'm obsessed.

    She fell back?

    No.

    She's busy.

    She's busy.

    No.

    By the way, I didn't follow her so that she would follow me back.

    I followed her so like I wouldn't forget about her.

    And that you would be like targeted when you wouldn't know about like new music and stuff.

    Right.

    Like, did you know she was opening up for Panic at the Disco this year?

    Like, that would have been a fabulous concert.

    Oh, my God.

    I didn't know that.

    Right.

    And also, like, I do actually, like, Betty Hoo is on Snatchler Songs.

    Like, she does come up on my release radar.

    But yeah, I guess I'm not as invested as I should be.

    She's such a performer.

    I mean, she's the best dancer I've ever seen.

    She's such an incredible dancer.

    And I feel like that happens.

    They have amazing performances every year at that event.

    And I always leave with like a newfound respect.

    Like BB Rexa, I was shook at A, she was, Brian let us meet her.

    She was so cool and nice.

    Yeah.

    And two, I was really shook because this was like four years ago at how many songs I knew.

    Like she really had this like great catalog.

    True.

    Then Carly Ray Jepson, I was like pop queen icon.

    Like I left with like a newfound respect.

    And the same happened with Betty Who.

    When Brian said she was coming, I was like, great, I'll know like one song, but like I...

    So this this was the third TBG Awards.

    Yeah.

    It's the fifth year that they do it, but two years in a row was virtual because of COVID.

    Did I not go to the first one or something?

    No, I was at all three.

    BB Rexa.

    I'm trying to remember what I wore.

    BB Rexa.

    Space Cadet was car two.

    Year two.

    Yeah.

    Okay.

    What did I wear year one?

    I need to know.

    Something obviously that was not memorable in a good or a bad way.

    Yeah, probably like a black dress.

    Yeah, but that is how I remember moments in life.

    Yeah.

    What I wore.

    Or like what I just like looked like at the time, what kind of haircut I had.

    How much I hated myself.

    Yeah.

    Yeah.

    Level of self-hatred.

    Just real.

    So I just love Betty Who and I just, I want good things for her.

    Me too.

    And she's cool and nice.

    She was so cool and nice.

    And like, it can't be easy to like do a corporate event, you know?

    No, and by the way, we were talking about how like she's so tall.

    Yeah.

    And so her album is called Big.

    And the lead single is like a song about how like it's called Big.

    It's so good.

    And the lead out song is a

    big.

    Yeah.

    It's about finishing my sentence.

    Yeah.

    And it's about being tall and how like her whole life it was like the worst thing like and it plagued her and now she's so proud of it.

    It was like kind of beautiful.

    No, I know.

    And it's also a bop bat song.

    And she is really tall.

    Yeah.

    And she's just like, she carried herself with this cool energy.

    Like I'm obsessed.

    Yeah, yeah.

    She's just like a cool girl.

    Like she definitely is like funny and like can hang.

    Totally.

    Yeah.

    Totally.

    So it was a fabulous night, a fabulous event.

    Very prestigious, you know?

    It was very prestigious.

    Yeah.

    It was very legit.

    I always forget because Brian's like our friend and he's like a brother.

    I was thinking the same thing.

    I forget he runs and started like a multi-million dollar company.

    Same.

    Like they kept talking about like the things that they've accomplished in like their sizzle videos of like all the shit that they've done.

    And I'm like, when?

    No, it's like they like like they had all these videos, like these packages about like the charitable things they've done this year, the milestones they've reached, the number of people who've clicked on their website.

    And it's like Brian's Brian, but he's also literally the founder of the biggest travel company in the world.

    It's crazy.

    I always forget.

    I know.

    Because he's just...

    Brianna.

    Yeah.

    It's crazy.

    It's crazy.

    Right before, we're going to dive into the stories and we're also doing Dear Toaster.

    So we'll get a young person's advice on, you know, what the toasters are going we do ask the snatch on snatchler so like we you have experience have experience and i don't want to be repetitive because i know so many of the people here listen to your podcast the snatchler available anywhere you get your podcast new episode dropped today um

    but you were talking about a story on your podcast that you were just telling me about i haven't listened to your episode yet and i absolutely need you to say it again because it's like margo went on was it the worst date i think it might have been i think it topped the list of the worst date i've ever been on even the guy who was like judging you for having drinks oh

    yeah, because like that guy was like at least like kind of obsessed with me.

    Like this guy was just me.

    Yeah.

    Okay.

    So Margo said she went on this date with the guy and they fought the whole time.

    And I'm like, how do you fight with someone you don't know?

    No, like it was crazy.

    When I got home, I couldn't sleep because my blood was boiling.

    I was so aggravated.

    I tell like the full story on the Snatcher, but I'll just like give like a little bit, like, because like I literally, I took notes as to why it was like the worst date ever.

    Like as I was.

    I was throughout the date.

    No, no, no.

    I was just like doing a mental thing.

    And then I call my friend on the way home and was re like regurgitating everything that happened and wrote it down as that happened because I didn't want to forget.

    But no, so I went on a date with this guy.

    And I mean, just to start, which

    Lox Club.

    An app.

    Locke.

    I have to say, all my Lox Club dates have been terrible.

    Ooh, shots fired.

    Shots fired at Lox Club.

    No, not actually.

    But

    what are your thoughts on this?

    So we went for drinks.

    It was like a Tuesday night.

    And we got, it's like a nice place.

    We went to Monkey Bar.

    Ooh, nice.

    Yeah.

    And no reservation.

    Oh,

    I hate.

    Okay.

    It is worth mentioning, like when it comes to- If that was the only bad thing that happened, then I wouldn't care.

    But no, that's not like a deal breaker or anything.

    One, it just shows like a lack of like drive and like excitement about our date that really would annoy me, but mostly because, and I've only been on one date in my life, and the entire time leading up to the date, I was so worried about like the logistics of like getting to the table because standing around waiting for a table is not ideal when I'm like with you, but like when you're with a stranger, it's so awkward, like people bumping you and like you have to talk and like stand and look at each other.

    And also like you cover a lot of the small talk then that once you do finally sit down, it's like, what the fuck do you talk about?

    No, totally.

    So that would bother me for that reason.

    Not because I don't like waiting, but because logistically, like the logistics of dates are the worst part.

    It gets like the more you go on them.

    Like, now I don't really, I used to like worry about logistics all the time.

    Like, do I motion?

    Like, all the stuff.

    Like, the more I go on it, like, no.

    Like, do you motion for your wallet?

    Never.

    No.

    If you're asking to take me out for drinks, I will never offer.

    And here's a question I think I know the answer to.

    Have you ever asked anyone out on a date?

    Like a man?

    No.

    No, yeah, I didn't think so.

    No.

    No, I, I, again, I say this all the time on the toast.

    I'm like a big time, I empower women.

    Yeah.

    Except when it comes to the Hallmark channel, like I don't want women CEOs.

    I want women in the kitchen.

    And when it comes to dating too, like court me.

    Court me.

    Yeah.

    Also, I think it was 50 Cent who was on,

    he was on like a late night interview when he was talking about a date.

    And I think it was Stephen Colbert.

    He was like, who pays when you go out on a date?

    And he's like, whoever asked for the date?

    And I actually think that's a great policy.

    Only because the men are going to ask out.

    Yeah.

    exactly.

    That's why I just said that.

    I was like, you asked me out.

    Like, you asked me for drinks.

    You should pay for it.

    Okay, so he didn't make a reservation.

    Okay.

    So then, like, everything that I said, like, he was like fighting me on and like questioning me on, like, just listen to the snatcher.

    I'm not going to go into the whole thing.

    But the one specific one that I was telling Claudia about was he kept talking about like credit cards and like points and miles and like whatever.

    And I was like, oh, like, do you know who the points guy is?

    Like, you should follow him.

    Would be a great resource.

    Did you say, like, were you being like a name dropper?

    No, I didn't say, I was like, no, Brian Kelly.

    No, I said, do you know the points guy?

    And he was like, yeah, of course I know who the points guy is.

    And I was like, well, then I wanted to be an asshole.

    So that was like, you wanted to one help him.

    So then I was like, oh, like, I was just at his house in PA this weekend, like, we're very good friends with him.

    And he was like, did you just say PA?

    And I was like, yeah.

    And he was like, well, I was born in PA and people who are from PA don't call it PA.

    He just did.

    And I was like, well, Brian's from PA and he calls it PA, which is why I call it PA.

    So like clearly people in PA call it PA.

    He's like, you're so New York.

    Like, let's go to FL.

    And I was like, so fucking rude.

    No one calls it FL.

    No one calls it.

    People call it PA.

    Yeah.

    And also, like, even if they don't, shut up.

    No, that's not like a thing.

    That, no.

    Like, so nitpicky.

    No, no.

    I hate this math.

    No.

    Oh, I mean, beyond.

    There were so many other things.

    I just was like.

    So obviously you're not going out with him again.

    No.

    He texts me after he's like, nice meeting you.

    And I'm on to be like, was it?

    Was it?

    And so how do you end something like that?

    Like, you just don't respond to him or he didn't ask you out again?

    Like, do you think he hated you as much as you hated him?

    I don't know if he hated me as much

    Because also I have feeling as though I feel as though this is him as a like this is his personality like that's not my personality, right?

    So like for him he might not have thought much of it.

    Uh-huh.

    Um

    however, no, I mean he didn't ask again like but I also like I responded and I was like I think I was like you too or something like I'm not gonna be a bitch, but I wasn't it wasn't like

    does he know about the Snatcher podcast?

    Like do you ever get nervous that people you go on dates with I actually hope he listens so I hope he learned something.

    No sometimes you know to to hear someone's like unbiased POV of like your personality, it can be quite jarring, but sometimes it's what you need.

    It's the kick in the ass.

    Yeah, no, totally.

    And I talk about dating a lot on The Snatcher, like my like experiences and just like how guys are.

    But like, if it's someone that like I'm actually seeing or like that we're going like on multiple dates, like I won't say a word.

    Yeah.

    Yeah.

    No, of course not.

    Like that's terrible.

    And so how do you explain to people what you do for a living on a date?

    So easy because I have a corporate job.

    So you just reflect on it.

    You can talk about that.

    Yeah, that's smart.

    And then it's like, and then eventually if we keep like seeing each other, then they look you up on Instagram.

    You're like that guy from the summer.

    Like, did he know about the Snatcher?

    Yes, and he started listening to it.

    No.

    Yeah.

    That's really a problem.

    Yeah.

    No, no, no.

    Yeah.

    That's terrible.

    Yeah, but I didn't, I never spoke about him, so I didn't mind.

    Oh, okay.

    And I don't really mind it because I talk about other dates.

    And then if they listen and they're like, oh, she's seeing other people, like, good, put a fire under your ass.

    Yes.

    Counts.

    The thing about Counts is she's got a plan.

    And Missouri is great.

    And all the cool girls wear Missouri.

    Like I see it on Instagram, like Lauren Elizabeth.

    She introduced me like years ago.

    She had a collab with them.

    It's really just stunning, high-quality pieces.

    All right, counts.

    You ready for the past five?

    I'm ready.

    First is not like a story, but just an update to like what's been going on.

    Everyone is creaming their pants.

    It's really like...

    I want to talk about it.

    It's an interesting study.

    Yeah.

    Hold on, the sirens.

    Shut the fuck up, bitch, like for real.

    Okay, listen.

    So the something navy drama, which is so crazy to me because there's no drama yet.

    Like, this is all based on like a Reddit thread.

    Yeah, like claims.

    So there are claims of like things going on in their marriage, claims of things going on in her business, him embezzling, and there has not been one article yet not one article also like no one has found as far as I know like any sort of like document like from the government like they say he's been arrested.

    There's just like no actual tangible evidence for anyone to actually be like talking about it and like the way that everyone is turned upside down like is everyone just like dying for a scandal or it's like no she's really interesting People and and I talk about it all the time when we discuss like different cancellations.

    Hers is so interesting to me because her cancellation like she got fucking annihilated for getting COVID.

    Yeah, that was fun.

    And she got COVID like March.

    People are probably, this is going to be added to one of my favorite stories that I never stop talking about, but it's really interesting to me.

    She got COVID March 4th.

    Nobody fucking knew anything.

    Like, she was living with her life.

    Like, she had a cold, but she's a mom.

    So she went to school.

    It's like, she went to school.

    Like, she didn't know it was this biological weather.

    You were going to be in lockdown for two years.

    So then, like, she just got fucking annihilated for being like irresponsible, but it was like, nobody knew.

    We didn't know.

    It was really, she got COVID before like a week, the week of of lockdown.

    Yeah.

    So I just always find that situation really interesting.

    And I think the reason why people, you know, bandwagon hate her so much is because she's fabulous.

    Fabulous.

    She's gorgeous.

    She's naturally thin.

    Like

    you want to hate her.

    Like

    she lives this gorgeous life.

    Her kids are beautiful and

    she's just like, she really is that bitch.

    Yeah, she's that bitch.

    She has three kids.

    I remember on her like 30th birthday, she posted, she's like, I can't believe I have three kids under three.

    When I'm 30, like yeah and she has also a thriving business like i'm sorry like who wouldn't hate this bitch like yeah i hate her yeah she's everything i want to be yeah like successful business kids out of the way um gorgeous apartment rich like yeah so and people she gets comments like eat a cheeseburger literally nobody's ever said that if someone said that to me i'd be like i would frame it so you think i'm

    like who honestly like who wouldn't hate her so the fact that now people have a thread i know and they're pulling it and people are really exposing themselves for being so vicious.

    Like Schotten Freud.

    It's so crazy.

    And we don't even know.

    We have no proof that he embezzled.

    We have no proof that there's literally anything going on except for people saying shit on social media.

    Based off of nothing.

    So, and I'm sure there is an article coming out.

    As of today, we're recording at 11 a.m.

    on Thursday morning.

    There is no article.

    So I don't know what we could possibly speculate about.

    The only article I actually saw was them categorically denying.

    So yeah.

    So the rumors are that he has, you know, been embezzling money from her company and her investors and that they're having marital problems.

    A spokesperson for Something Navy Company

    said categorically untrue, Brendan Chardis doesn't even have access to company funds.

    He couldn't possibly

    embezzle because I don't know how he would get his hands on the bank account.

    And then a rep for Arielle privately responded to the post saying they're very happily married.

    And then the update that I was going to share is as of this morning, she shared a selfie of them saying coffee date.

    Now, I want to say how much of a sleigh her handling this is.

    Like, I love that the internet has their bragas in a twist.

    Yeah.

    And Homegirl is over here unbothered in her Chanel rain boots and her iced coffee date with her husband.

    And the world has turned itself upside down.

    And she's playing with them.

    And I'm kind of obsessed.

    No, and like, I don't want to give us credit for anything, but I just have a feeling if, like, this were happening to us, like, we would do the same thing.

    I don't know.

    I don't really handle public scandal well.

    Like, we wouldn't let you do anything.

    No, I know you guys are good, but like, for me, I'm like, I have to be checked into an institution immediately.

    Like, I'm not okay.

    You men wouldn't be composing coffee date.

    No, no,

    I'm not okay when that shit happens.

    So like I have so much respect.

    Yes.

    And I feel like that, that sort of not give a fuck energy comes from like being a mom.

    Like that's her priority.

    A thousand percent.

    But also like this ain't her first rodeo.

    No, I know.

    And I feel like she handled her COVID thing like I would handle it.

    Like she was like panicked.

    Yeah.

    And you learn from that.

    You learn from that.

    So until we have something to talk about, like I don't know what else we could say.

    Yeah, besides speculating, which doesn't help anyone.

    No, for me, I think a lot of people, like the most interesting parts of this is like digging into Arielle's like life and her family and her money.

    For me, I think what's been most interesting is the way people on the internet are clearly like

    vicious when it comes to certain people.

    Yes.

    And I don't know what Arielle Charnis has done to give people a reason to despise her in the way that they do.

    Like, did I miss the part where she killed someone?

    No, right.

    So I was sending you TikToks that like, were really so

    mean.

    So mean.

    And also,

    like, it's one thing to think things like that are like, like, I've had like crazy thoughts.

    Oh, girl, nobody has more evil thoughts than me.

    Like, I'm literally the nastiest bitch you'll ever meet.

    But it's another thing to pick up your phone,

    verbalize it, record it, you saying it, and post it to the internet.

    Snatch your speech.

    Everyone to see.

    This, the TikTok that I was referring to that I saw and I sent it to you, I was like, holy shit, this is fucking evil.

    Evil.

    Because as far as what everyone thinks is that her husband was embezzling money from her company, we have no proof of that, and the company has denied it.

    And that Arielle had absolutely no idea.

    So, Arielle, in this hypothetical story that hasn't even come out yet, Arielle's not even the villain.

    She's really a victim of her husband's

    alleged infidelity and alleged embezzlement.

    But then people are like, no, she definitely knew.

    Like, but

    why?

    So, because TikTok is like, I want to see Arielle Charnas sell every item she owns, and I want the paparazzi to record her going down to Saks Fifth Avenue and returning all of her belongings.

    And I want her to record it and post it.

    I'm like, Jesus Christ, calm down.

    Like, there is this general sentiment, especially on the internet, of like,

    if you're rich, we hate you.

    100%.

    Whether you're a good person or not, like, we just hate you.

    So I get that that's where I think a lot of it stems from is her being.

    It all stems from jealousy.

    Is her being really successful financially in her business.

    And then also her family and her husband's family being very wealthy.

    Like people on the internet.

    internet culture, like you just hate rich people.

    So I get it to a point because I am to my core like an internet troll.

    Like I am.

    I get it.

    But I'm also a human being.

    And this is like a family with three young kids.

    And like, again, no article has come out.

    So it's like, we're all, and I just feel like when this article comes out, like, it's going to be maybe like because we've built it up so much.

    Like, it's.

    It's a nothing burger.

    Yeah.

    Because they've denied.

    And I do kind of believe that

    Brandon did not, is his name Brandon or Brendan?

    I don't know.

    Is her name Arielle or Arielle?

    Like, I cannot pronounce.

    I think it's Arielle Charnon.

    And Brandon.

    And Brandon.

    Arielle and Brandon.

    That's a good idea.

    That doesn't sound right.

    Okay, but

    I do believe that he was not embezzling because it's not so easy to embezzle.

    He's not an employee of the company.

    He is his own company.

    If he was embezzling money from his own company, that is entirely possible.

    But I don't understand how, like, that would be like Ben embezzling money from the toast.

    Like, you can't, bitch.

    Like, you don't even have the credit card.

    Yeah.

    So I'm just curious.

    Like, and maybe

    it's true.

    Like, I want to know logistics.

    How he got that money.

    So maybe the article comes out today or tomorrow and I'll be wrong but I have to say that they're dragging their feet on the article I know and so Dumois said on the episode yesterday that like they're dragging their feet on the article because the article the concept of the article got leaked and now people are coming forward

    So you think they're building there's more research to do because now people know the article's coming out.

    I mean, because Dumois was saying, I got a million DMs and I'm not even a journalist from people like in New York who know them, who had things to say.

    But like, are they just talking about like

    gossip?

    Yeah, right.

    I don't know.

    Right, because there's an an element of here that's just gossip like you know marital problems Which really is none of our business and then there's the element of like criminal right and so people saying he got arrested in Miami two nights ago.

    He was at the polar bar got arrested.

    Um no he didn't no he didn't like I literally

    I can't say what I like somebody saw him just he's not okay.

    Someone I know saw him like literally

    He's not

    So, and also if he was arrested, there would be some sort of record.

    Obviously.

    And you know those internet trolls, they went to, you know, Miami Dade

    Policereport.com.

    And if there was a mug shot or like a record, oh, yeah, it would be, it would be posted on TMZ.

    Like, so I just, oh, and then

    allegedly yesterday, there was this thing that came out that said Arielle had sent a letter, a note to her subscribers on like her something navy email list or whatever.

    And it was this long thing about, you know, there's been a lot of allegations about my husband.

    I'm going to be keeping this private, protect my girls.

    I actually thought it was a very well, well-written statement.

    It was a very well-written statement if Brandon did something wrong.

    It was a very well-written statement if Arielle wrote it.

    It was somebody on some freak.

    This is supposed to be a

    mother.

    The people on the internet are really showing themselves to be psychotic.

    Somebody fake released a statement on Arielle's behalf.

    People are not fucking okay.

    No, no, no, no.

    Martino, the article hasn't even come out yet.

    I know.

    Everyone really needs to take a step back.

    Once the article comes out, we can all wild out as much as we fucking want.

    Yeah.

    But until then.

    Calm the fuck down.

    We are not okay.

    We're not okay.

    And this is just like a story that I think people are like getting excited about.

    And you know me, I get excited about stuff.

    I'm just not.

    Maybe it's because she's like a Jewish girl in the city and like I, on some level, relate to her.

    Like I just, I've met her a few times.

    I really don't know her people.

    Oh, I met her.

    I met her and Brandon too in the Hamptons.

    And I was like, I went up to her.

    I was like, hi, like, I'm Claudia's sister.

    They literally couldn't have been nicer.

    She came up to me at dinner.

    And I think a lot of the girls who work for her are toasters.

    And she was like, she knows like one of my favorite stories is defending her COVID thing because I don't feel like she did anything wrong.

    And she was like, thank you so much.

    And she couldn't have been kinder.

    And she she was like, all the girls in my office read your book and they were like reading me passages.

    She could not have been nicer.

    So maybe that's why I feel, but also I think I, we're also

    like empathetic.

    No, but I, I, I do often come on this show, Jackie, too, like in defense of influencers.

    I think influencers is such a bad rap.

    And the way people are acting like this, like she's an A-list celebrity.

    She's not.

    No.

    She's an influencer with, you know, with three kids and, and no full-time security like, like celebrities do.

    Like, we need to calm down.

    So I think that's my, where my empathetic approach from comes from because I don't have an empathetic approach with everyone like I'm I'm gonna get in and conspiracy theorize with the best of them yeah but this I don't know why I'm not getting maybe it's because I've met her and she's been really lovely but also because I on some level I feel similar to her she's like a colleague she's a New York City influencer and she's a mom I don't know I'm not like dancing on her grave for her demise yeah yeah no

    but you know And I don't do this on purpose, but like I somehow find myself at the middle of like all these controversies.

    Somehow?

    No, I swear, okay, because

    the Reddit thread that like blew up, and I just want to say, like, I didn't look at it, I haven't.

    I have read some of the most factually incorrect things about myself and you on Reddit.

    Okay, don't tell me that.

    You told me.

    What?

    Like, people making stuff up about us.

    Oh.

    You know what I'm talking about.

    I have no idea.

    Recently.

    On Reddit, a story about you.

    Oh, oh.

    Okay.

    Oh.

    I have read some straight up fucking lies.

    Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    So I'm not inclined to believe something because it's on Reddit.

    But the thread that like went viral and started this whole thing, somebody was like, wait, on the toast last week, Claudia Oshre said she heard the craziest thing about a New York City influencer and that we'd soon find out.

    That's not what I said.

    I said I heard the craziest thing about a New York City influencer and I can't say it, but it was the craziest fucking thing.

    It was not about Ariel Tarnas.

    I do see how someone could think that, but it wasn't.

    And I didn't say that people would soon find out.

    I just heard something about like the way someone behaved and it was the craziest thing.

    I told you.

    Yeah, yeah.

    It was the craziest thing I'd ever heard and I just like wanted to be a gossip girl and like make stuff up on the toes, but it wasn't this.

    I really, I don't know, I know what everyone else knows.

    I didn't find out about this until like very until everyone else.

    No, apparently this had been brewing and then like

    shit hit the fan.

    I don't like troll, you know,

    threads like that because I love myself and well not even just that.

    Like

    I have to protect my peas.

    I have a life.

    And that too.

    So I just, let's all be conscious of what we're reading.

    Like just because it's unread, once it's in an article, even though I still think an article can be wrong.

    Yellow journalism.

    Right, but once it's in an article, it has way more believability.

    These are just random anonymous people on social media.

    Literally.

    We must be cautious, you guys.

    Use

    your monocle, okay?

    Look, question every grain of salt.

    Grain of salt until there's an article.

    But even then.

    But even then, I know, because I've had some really fucking libelous articles written about me, and I'll say that, and I'll leave it at that.

    So, that's why I think that's why my own experience also contributes to me being more empathetic from this storyline and not being like, Yes, let's ruin it and let's, you know, like

    hocus pocus, right?

    You know?

    So, I guess, like, maybe by tomorrow's episode, and if the article drops while we're sitting here, lizard, you know, just to just to wave a white flag, um, because that would be matter saying, I'm like, all over here, like, yeah, yeah, there's this article.

    Um,

    but that was our first story.

    Okay, what's next?

    Hit me.

    It's really sad, counts.

    It's It's about one of our favorite girlies.

    I know.

    Slindion.

    Yeah.

    Slind Dion has been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome.

    It's a neurological disorder, and she has canceled her European tour again.

    Slind Dion announced on Thursday morning that she has been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome and will be postponing or canceling her shows.

    Here's what she said in a video that was posted to social media, a teary-eyed video.

    I've been dealing with problems with my health for a long time, and it's been really difficult for me to face these challenges and talk about everything that I've been going through.

    Recently, I've been diagnosed with a very rare neurological syndrome, which affects something like one in a million people.

    She continued explaining that this is the condition that has been causing all of the spasms she's been having.

    Stiff person syndrome causes rigidity and spasms in the trunk and limbs, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

    Over time, leg muscles become stiff, followed by other muscles, including arms and face.

    The Power of Love singer 54 said that the condition has made it difficult to walk and has prevented her from singing the way that she's used to.

    All I know is singing, she said.

    It's what I've done almost all my life, and it's what I love to do the most.

    She concluded her video by saying she will not be ready to restart her European tour in February.

    It's been a struggle.

    She said she hopes of recovery with the help of ongoing treatment.

    Now, this is so sad, but like.

    Is she ever going to be able to tour again?

    That's the vibe I'm getting.

    And that was like the energy she was putting out.

    Like, it was almost final.

    How old is she?

    She's 54.

    She's pretty, like, and not that old.

    No, and if you saw her perform, you would think she was 44.

    Yeah.

    She's endlessly energized.

    She sings, she dances.

    She just, she's wild.

    She does comedy.

    Like, she's really a jack of all trades.

    I feel like if you're a fan and you've been following, this is like the third time she's postponed this one specific tour.

    And at first we were like, okay, a little COVID, maybe.

    Right.

    Then it was just like there were rumors.

    And now it turns out like there was something going on.

    And at this time, I'm thinking of Brian Kelly.

    Same.

    I was going to put it in the chat today, but I was like, you know what?

    No.

    No, he sent in my chat with me, him and John, and he sent like a whole like lengthy explanation of what this disease is.

    And he was like, fuck, fuck, fuck, three times, fuck.

    I was like, are you okay?

    He's like, no.

    He is Celine Dion's number one fan.

    A thousand percent.

    And this is really hard for him.

    So obviously I'm taking this tough, but like I'm thinking of my

    dear friend.

    I'm thinking of my dear friend and honestly all the gays around the world because I think this is going to be particularly tough for the community.

    I agree.

    That's really, really upsetting.

    I know, because it did feel like kind of final, like the energy she was putting forth in the video.

    Like I didn't watch the video, but I read the article.

    What to do?

    Yeah, I mean, there's nothing she can't, and it's incurable.

    Well, it's like a very rare.

    I don't think it's one of these things that there's like a million cures for

    it.

    It's very rare.

    It said one in a million people.

    That's crazy odds.

    No, I know.

    And if you know, what's so crazy is because the last time I saw her, I actually saw her the week that something Navy got COVID.

    I got her the week, but I saw her at Barclay Center the week of COVID.

    And you would never, you would think she had the energy of a 25-year-old.

    Like, yeah.

    So, this is someone who's clearly in amazing physical health.

    I mean, takes priority.

    Her body's insane.

    Her body's insane.

    She prioritizes like her health and wellness because you can't be 55 running around like that if you're not constantly working out.

    And so this is someone who's obviously prioritized health and still ends up with this fucked.

    Right.

    So like that just

    is a donut.

    Yeah.

    I had two donuts yesterday.

    I was, somebody sent me donuts.

    Oh, somebody dunked it.

    Dunkin' donuts sent me donuts.

    Do they send them like as a congratulations?

    They sent them as a congratulations.

    And then I guess I forgot like a week ago, I was talking about how like I wanted one of those sprinkly little fuckers so badly.

    And they sent me them to like congratulate me on the end of tour.

    They sent me two dozen.

    That's so nice.

    They sent me munchkins and a box of Joe.

    The box of Joe is so good.

    Did Ben drink it?

    It was a field day for the staff in my building because I gave them everything.

    I'm not going to eat two dozen donuts, a box of munchkins, and I don't even drink coffee.

    So I gave them all but one box of donuts.

    Yeah.

    And then me and my housekeeper had a field day.

    We just really went ham like on the donuts.

    And then when I got home from the TBG awards last night, I had an eye at dinner, so I had another donut.

    But I am starving when I got it.

    I was so hungry.

    Tell me if this is okay.

    I had ordered pizza maybe about three weeks ago.

    And I finally arrived?

    No.

    And I put it in the freezer.

    Okay.

    And then I had a slice last night.

    I think that's fine.

    How did you heat it up, microwave?

    Yeah.

    It's like kind of gross.

    It's also still like a little icy.

    Ew!

    I think it's totally fine.

    Okay.

    My stomach feels fine this morning.

    No, I think it's fine.

    Frozen food is fine.

    All right, next story.

    Everyone is talking about Prince Harry and Megan Markle's documentary.

    Now, I haven't seen it, so I don't feel like I wanted to do like number one story bomb show.

    But I did think it was interesting that we finally found out how they met.

    Oh, did we not?

    No, I thought they were introduced.

    I had thought that they were introduced by Pierce Morgan.

    Or no, she had went to dinner and drinks with Pierce Morgan the day of their date.

    First date.

    I don't know.

    There was definitely something.

    Well, it turns out that they met on Instagram.

    So page six says, it's a love story for the digital age.

    And when I I went to choose stories for today, there must have been 15 on the homepage things from the article, things from the documentary, articles from the documentary.

    So, they revealed their romance started thanks to the power of social media.

    In their Netflix docu series, Harry and Megan, which was released today, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex explained how their relationship came about in the summer of 2016.

    Wow, it's already been so long.

    I was scrolling through my feed, and one of my friends and one of my friends and someone who was a friend had this video of the two of them, like a Snapchat.

    Wait, this makes no fucking sense.

    This is what Harry says.

    I was scrolling through my feed, and one of my friends and someone who was a friend had this video of the two of them.

    So I guess Megan and this person.

    It's like a Snapchat video.

    After seeing the snap of Markle with the dog filter, the British prince was curious to know more.

    I was like, who is that?

    He shared.

    And here they have the video in question.

    She's using the classic 2016 dog filter.

    Markle said her friend later told her that the prince has, was interested in meeting her, but the nickname didn't ring a bell for the American actress.

    I said, who is that?

    I asked if I could see his feed that to me was the best barometer.

    So I went through and it was just through this beautiful photography and all these environmental shots, and this time he was spending in Africa.

    I feel like they're talking really weird.

    Whatever.

    Pleased with his feed, the pair exchanged phone numbers the very next day, kicking off a royal love story.

    And Harry said the pair were constantly in touch from then on, even though Markle initially wanted to be free and enjoy the summer as a single woman, according to her friend Lindsay Jill Roth.

    Markle had planned a single girl summer and she had a lot of plans to go around Europe.

    Another friend Lucy Fraser added in the docuseries.

    Even Markle herself confirmed that she was really intent on being single and just having a fun girl time.

    Can we just pause for a sec?

    Yeah.

    I don't know one girl who, sure, you can go into the summer wanting a single girl summer, but if a prince,

    second heir to the throne, or whatever he is, is trying to pursue you, like you just throw that single girl summer.

    That's what she's saying.

    But like you real, like the second you realize that they're interested, like, oh, Margo, that's exactly what she did.

    She said, it was supposed to be a single girl summer, but like I gave him my number and we didn't stop texting.

    No, it sounds like she really tried to do the single girl summer.

    Keep going.

    No, no, no.

    No, no.

    They literally said she was supposed to, but nah.

    Like literally, relatable, that's exactly what you would do.

    Margo.

    That's what I was saying.

    No, I know.

    So you and Megan Markle have a lot in common.

    That's what I'm saying.

    We both like suits.

    So then they got engaged, yada, yada.

    We know.

    But she said, I had a career.

    I had my life.

    I had my path.

    And then along came H.

    That's what she calls him.

    Talk about a plot twist.

    So, I want to talk about for me the most interesting part.

    Cool, they didn't meet on Instagram.

    That's very misleading.

    Like, he saw a picture of her for the first time on Instagram, which is just a consequence of being alive in this day and age.

    But I think it's really interesting that she calls him H.

    That's

    I actually think it's beyond cringe when people call anyone

    like the letter like it's gossip girl.

    Oh, okay, B S.

    So, I hate it.

    If anyone called me M C,

    don't.

    No, I agree, but I also hate when girls, like,

    okay, let's say everyone on the planet called Ben

    Sopher.

    Yeah.

    Like, some of his friends do, but it's not like his go-to nickname.

    And like, literally, his name was Sopher.

    You know, like, I'm trying to think of like a person I know who.

    Oh, okay.

    Like, for some reason, one of Ben's really, really good friends from high school, they call him Luch.

    Okay.

    His name is Michael, but I don't know.

    I've never called him Mikey in my life.

    His name is Luch.

    Now B, like, so if he started dating someone and then she's like, Michael, Michael,

    I hate when girls do that.

    All girls do that.

    Like I have that in mind.

    Also, yeah, especially like, I'm not naming names because like I hate him, but like someone that I used to date, everyone called them by their last name, by his last name.

    Okay, I'm trying to think of who.

    You know who.

    Okay.

    And then like the, like his subsequent girlfriends, I think I did it too, like called him by his first name.

    Oh my God, I just like call the person what everyone calls them.

    I hate when girls are like, that would would be like me calling Benjamin.

    Yeah, no, that's.

    And like the full name.

    No, it's like calling Ben Benjamin and everyone calls him Ben.

    No, like.

    It says why?

    Just like for what?

    To like prove you're different?

    Like we get it.

    We're not fucking him.

    You are, but like you can call him Ben.

    That's exactly what it is.

    No, it's like marking your territory.

    I hate when girls do that.

    Like

    I'm trying to think of like a perfect example.

    Like it's really like Ben Benjamin.

    Yeah, Ben Benjamin.

    Or like if everybody calls someone a nickname and then like the girlfriend does it's like why?

    We get it.

    You're not like us.

    You're different.

    You're on a different level.

    You're closer with him.

    Like you're fucking him.

    we don't care right i hate so the h doesn't bother me the h is cringe for sure it's giving gossip girl like h whenever i see it anywhere like if it's like someone like it's their anniversary and someone's like i love you b yeah i completely agree except for my friend beatrice we call her b but it's not like b-e-a-e-a totally totally it's a nickname for beatrice yeah different yeah the letter is cringe and then when people say like that would be like if she called him harold if that's not his name but you know what i mean harrison or whatever but like that wouldn't even be as bad, Harold.

    No, it would.

    Like, I hate when girls do, like, the full name.

    It's like, stop.

    No, I get it.

    I do.

    You get why they do it?

    No, no, I get why that's bothersome.

    To me.

    Yes.

    Okay, so you're defending me.

    I'm on your side.

    Okay.

    It's so hard to know with you.

    You're always attacking me.

    That's.

    Kettle, pot, black.

    Well, I haven't watched a documentary yet, so.

    And there's part two, so maybe I'll just like recap it in full.

    But what I have heard is that it was not nearly as damaging as a lot of people thought to them, to to the royal family.

    It's really like their version of events with very little.

    I did see like a clip where she, I'm trying not to watch clips, but there's so many on TikTok.

    Yeah.

    Where she said like she's just like a very warm American and she's a hugger.

    Yeah.

    And like the formality of the royal family publicly is the same energy they have privately.

    Like they're still very formal.

    They're British.

    Yeah,

    I'm not shocked by that.

    That makes sense.

    I think that's like an accurate description of like probably how they immediately like got off on the wrong side.

    I also feel like that's any like American in the the UK.

    Like I feel like all they're all very like none of them are super huggy.

    So like if we were to go in with like our you know like big tits

    like

    I think everyone would be like oh man.

    They talked about that in downtown a lot since Cora was American and whenever she would be even remotely sentimental they'd be like don't be so American mother.

    Yeah exactly.

    So it's just a different cultural thing.

    So I think that was a pretty accurate

    reaction from them.

    Next story is a little Instagram news.

    Pete Davidson has officially returned to Instagram in the most bizarre way ever.

    He's laying in bed.

    He's looking looking actually really cute.

    He looked like five years old.

    Yes.

    Okay, because he finally got rid of the platinum hair.

    And when he goes back and forth between the platinum, the platinum is not a good look for him.

    No.

    And I didn't realize it until he put up this video of him just like in his house with his brown hair and he looked like he was 17.

    100%.

    And he's laying in bed with Eli Manning.

    Yeah.

    So I don't know where we go from here.

    His account name is it's a joint account.

    With Eli?

    Pete underscore Eli 10.

    They've started an Instagram account together.

    That's interesting.

    He said, hello, Instagram.

    I've decided to come back, but only with the goat.

    Eli Manning is lying next to bed, next to Pete in bed.

    And then he says, What's up?

    Your bed is so comfortable.

    And then Pete responds, oh, thanks.

    We've been having a good time on my bed.

    Stay tuned for more photos on the gram.

    It was like, obviously, satirical.

    Yeah.

    Let me tell you, like, Eli Manning is so hot.

    Oh, so hot.

    And like, I'm actually.

    Okay, so you're a young person.

    Yeah.

    You're single.

    Yes.

    Honestly, I feel like

    I could see a world in which like you're spotted out with Pete Davidson because you're like young people.

    I would like love.

    So, my question for you is: Do you think he's cute?

    I do.

    I don't.

    I do.

    I think he's like got like swag.

    For sure.

    If he was not Pete Davidson and he was just a random man on the street or he was like, had you know, a job at like a like a law firm.

    Yeah, like, and I imagine if I saw him like on a dating app, like, I don't know how I would swipe.

    You would probably swipe right because he was like tall and Jewish.

    Like, if he was Jewish, yeah, like, if he met your criteria, right.

    And, like, had a good job.

    Like, yeah, yeah.

    Totally.

    He definitely swipe right.

    Yes.

    But the fame helps.

    And also just like his like energy.

    So it's like I watched that video and I was like, damn, Eli Manning is hot.

    Like that was my takeaway.

    I think they're both hot.

    There's room for everybody.

    No, for sure.

    But it's like, I feel like nobody watched that video and even looked at Eli Manning.

    They're like, put the camera back on Pete.

    That's fair.

    And I was sitting here being like.

    That's also because we like get nothing from Pete.

    So like once you get like a little bit.

    I know.

    I'm just kind of over it.

    I know.

    I feel exhausted by the Pete Davidson and the dating of it all.

    Like I can't tell you how much I actually don't care about him and Emrata.

    No, but it's like so cliche and it's so obvious like, oh, two like amazingly famous, gorgeous people.

    No, and like how many times has he done that?

    I know.

    Like find somebody like

    an ugly girl.

    Okay.

    Please, just so I can feel like, you know, close to you.

    Yeah, I agree.

    I'm just like over it.

    So I don't really care.

    I know.

    I kind of agree too.

    Also, like, after the relevancy that you get in dating Kim Kardashian, like nothing's going to match that.

    So, and no one you date after is ever going to top it.

    So like the interest is just not, it's just lacking.

    No, it's true.

    Like, even after Ari, I was like, where can he go from here?

    And he still did.

    Like, Kim totally topped it.

    And he would have to date fucking Taylor Swift.

    Like, oh, my God.

    I mean, it's not happening, but you know.

    No, or

    Giselle.

    Yeah, okay.

    Yeah.

    And I want Kim to date Tom.

    I know.

    Same.

    It's working.

    It's working.

    Our fifth of Bible story is another, you know, it's that time of year.

    We're getting yearly recaps.

    Google has released their top searches of 2022.

    Oh, I love it.

    And a bunch of pop culture moments made the

    made the list.

    So the most searched events, Queen Elizabeth's death was obviously up there.

    The election, Ukraine, the Powerball numbers.

    Okay, that makes sense.

    I love the Powerball numbers.

    Yeah, I know you do.

    Will Smith.

    Was that 2022?

    That's my reaction was the same.

    Same with Johnny Depp.

    That was on the list, too, for most top searched events.

    That feels...

    Johnny Depp feels 2022.

    It feels like another lifetime, especially the Oscars thing.

    Yeah.

    Especially because, like, this week on the Toast, we were talking about the upcoming Oscars.

    So it's like, enough.

    Oh, I guess those were probably technically the big moments of pop culture.

    Guess what the most searched movie was?

    Don't Worry, Darling?

    No.

    Oh.

    Did it even make the list?

    No.

    Wait, wait, wait.

    Wait, I feel like I know.

    No, you have to think about like not, like, think about movies that like Top Gun.

    Top Gun is number three.

    Oh, what was bigger than Top Gun?

    Think about

    like Marvel shit.

    Kayler.

    Oh.

    Oh, I'm thinking.

    Encanto?

    Yes.

    Number one.

    Two, Thor.

    Three, Top Gun.

    Okay, that makes sense.

    Four, the Batman.

    Yeah.

    And then a bunch, like, you know, random.

    Random.

    What about celebrities?

    Most search TV shows.

    Okay, I have to think about that.

    That's number one.

    Is it a Netflix show?

    No.

    Is it like cable?

    Yes.

    Do I watch it?

    I'll give you a clue.

    I think so.

    You dumb fucking bitch.

    I'm going to fuck you up.

    Euphoria.

    Yep.

    That is not cable.

    That's HBO.

    Oh, I guess it goes to the- I'm streaming service.

    Okay, like, I don't know, is HBO cable?

    I'm like, I watch it on my cable box.

    Like, can you go to like the HBO channel and watch it when it comes out?

    No, of course, it premieres there.

    Oh.

    I just watch it on HBO Max.

    No, I guess that's so true, but like, it's on TV.

    Okay.

    All right.

    Number two, Stranger Things.

    Okay.

    Three is that show, The Watcher, which only recently came out, which is kind of crazy.

    I didn't watch it.

    Me neither.

    Inventing Anna.

    Okay.

    House of the Dragon.

    I'm shocked House of the Dragon is so low.

    Okay, wait.

    Moon night.

    I don't know what that is.

    Seven, Yellowstone.

    Love.

    Wait, where are you at?

    Oh my god.

    I've had the busiest week of my life, so I haven't made a lot of progress.

    But last night I watched one episode, and it was like a pretty terrible episode.

    It was like an episode where everyone goes camping, so no one's at the ranch, and they're just whatever.

    It's like boring, and it's like the episode takes course over one night.

    Yeah.

    But the most amazing thing happened, and it made the whole thing worth it because Beth and Rip find themselves alone at the ranch.

    And they're like, what's something like we can do that we've wanted to do at the ranch that we've never been able to do because we've never been alone?

    And Rip turns the lights on and the music on, and him and Beth dance in the horse thing to Lady May by Tyler Childers.

    And let me tell you how Tyler Childers.

    Okay, I've been dragged to filth on this show for saying Tyler Childers.

    It's Childers.

    This is the first time I've actually said it correctly.

    So it's Childers.

    Sorry.

    The way Chris Tableton's music and Chris Childers.

    Tyler Childers.

    Tyler Childers.

    Music, like have Yellowstone in a chokehold, and it comes on at the perfect time.

    So like him and Beth are dancing in the middle of the night to this song.

    I was like sobbing.

    No, Yellowstone has such a good soundtrack.

    I like Shazam so many.

    They have this one band that I found called Shane and Shane.

    So random.

    So good.

    Wow.

    But yeah, they love a Tyler Childers.

    And Tim McGraw also wrote a song for Yellowstone.

    Oh, it's just, it's really, it's the vibe.

    No, it's actually amazing.

    Okay.

    I'm so fucking glad you're here.

    No, I know.

    And you don't listen to the toast because you don't support me, but you would know.

    Why is the last time you listen to this natural?

    That's a really good question.

    That's no, that's totally fair too.

    Yeah.

    One of the recurring themes on this show is like, I'm so stubborn.

    I mean, high.

    No, yeah, you're definitely worse because I can at least acknowledge like

    when I'm being stubborn, I know I'm being stubborn.

    I'm not going to justify.

    I'm just being like, so Jackie's like Yellowstone.

    I'm like, no, I'm not in the mood.

    I'm just whatever.

    Yeah.

    And so same with Downtown Abbey.

    Same with reading, you know, like, I'm just a few years delayed, you know?

    It's fine.

    Do you know what the most searched songs were?

    And think back to

    the most searched movie.

    The most...

    So Encanto.

    We don't talk about Bernardo.

    Yeah.

    Number one most song in the movie.

    Wow, that's crazy.

    Yeah.

    Jiggle, jiggle.

    Man, don't jiggle, jiggle.

    It folds.

    It's crazy how this like whole thing is

    TikTok because on this list is also Unholy.

    Wow, already?

    I know, which is a song that came out a month ago, and it's not that good.

    But also, he started teasing it in June.

    Yeah.

    Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush, which is a song from the 90s.

    Yeah, crazy.

    About damn time, Lizzo, Anti-Hero, Taylor Swift, yada yada.

    There isn't a list for most searched.

    There is.

    Open run?

    Yeah.

    Everyone Kendall was going in her bottega earrings.

    Yeah, yeah, U.S.

    Open.

    Because most of these people went through like a thing.

    Yeah, of course.

    They're not like random selections.

    And then I forgot about Serena Williams' retirement.

    And then the most popular search is overall.

    The number one most search of all time this year.

    Has it been said?

    No.

    And I'll give you a clue.

    It's like something we all were obsessed with for five minutes.

    I like can't remember things, so I'm not going to be able to answer this quickly.

    Okay, but like think.

    I don't want people at home to guess.

    I need hints.

    Some people still do it, but it was like a thing on our phones that we were obsessed with all tomorrow.

    Britle.

    Yes.

    Okay.

    Then the election results.

    Okay.

    Then Betty White.

    Oh.

    Okay, but that was in December.

    And then Queen Elizabeth.

    Okay.

    Well, I'm in defense of Queen Elizabeth.

    Betty White died last December, so there was more time for people to search.

    True.

    Ukraine, mega millions, Powerballs number, Powerball numbers.

    Ann Haish.

    Who's that?

    She is a celebrity.

    Who's dying?

    Yeah.

    I actually just saw an article about her recently.

    And then Jeffrey Dahmer, because obviously that

    turns

    TV shattering.

    So those were the top Google searches.

    And I feel like, honestly, I couldn't have guessed it.

    Me neither.

    A lot of it just doesn't apply to me and my interests.

    Right.

    But not everything's about me.

    No, that's what's a really kind of hard thing about growing up.

    You learn like actually nothing's about you.

    Nada.

    And I'm not interested in a world that's not about me.

    So.

    Counts, did I do a good job like tailoring stories to your desires?

    Yeah, I think so.

    Okay, I think so too.

    All right, you ready, counts?

    I'm ready.

    Here we go.

    Hey, girlies.

    I'm a new Patreon member here.

    So thanks, girly.

    My boyfriend and I have been together for three years now and have lived together for almost a year.

    It's the first year we are spending the holidays together with each other's families.

    We just spent Thanksgiving with his family and now we will be spending Christmas with my family.

    About six months ago, he started bringing up that he wanted a nose piercing.

    He'll mention it every so often and ask for my opinion.

    I've been honest and I've told him that I don't really find nose piercings attractive and that if he did get it, I would at least ask him to take it out around my super traditional family.

    Fair.

    Fast forward to right now, he's insisting that he has to get the nose piercing this month while there's a sale and it's become a huge fight between us.

    Am I being the brat for being upset that he would deliberately go to the piercing right before seeing my family when he knows that the piercing would be too fresh to remove?

    His argument is that he's upset because even if he gets it later on, I'm going to make him hide it from my family for about six months.

    But honestly, I'm just hoping he hates it and takes it out prematurely on his own.

    Thank you so much.

    Honestly, the thing with this is like,

    if I wanted to get a nose piercing, like Ben has absolutely no say.

    True.

    If Ben wanted to get a nose piercing, like that's a family decision.

    I agree.

    So you're totally like justified in having an opinion on the situation.

    And the fact that you don't even want him to get it, but you're happy to let him get it, but only just taking it out around your family, just to avoid any unnecessary, you're not hiding who he is.

    You're just avoiding like unnecessary tarch.

    He's being a baby.

    I couldn't agree more.

    Like

    you not even putting your foot down, like saying you can't get it.

    Like that is so big of you.

    So like the least relationships I've heard are all about

    compromise.

    Yeah.

    So you're letting him get it.

    He can at least do you a solid and not create animosity over the holidays for you and wait a month.

    No, you're right.

    And like, he will hate it.

    Like, he will.

    I have faith for you.

    I'm praying for it.

    For you too.

    But even if he doesn't, he can still wait three weeks.

    You're not being a brat at all.

    Like, honestly, why does he have to get it this month?

    How much is the sale going to?

    Also, like, he knows, he knows that it's going to bother you and bother your family.

    So why make your life harder?

    Like, he should be making your life easier.

    Like, why is he going to go out of his way to make your life more difficult and put you in like a bad spot?

    A thousand percent.

    You know, this is like not good boyfriend material and needs to start acting right.

    Maybe you should play this episode for him.

    Maybe.

    All right, that was easy.

    This one is crazy.

    Okay, yeah.

    And I think I know what I would do.

    Hey, Jackson Claude, I love you both.

    I need some advice about my crunchy angel.

    While I was scrolling Instagram the other day, I saw a tagged photo of a dog who looks just like my unique looking dog.

    It was such a crazy look-alike that I clicked on the profile for more.

    I quickly deduced that it was my dog that I adopted just over a year ago.

    Okay.

    And speaking of dog, Theo has just entered the studio.

    Come here, my love.

    Come here, my love.

    Oh, mommy loves you so.

    Oh, mommy loves you so.

    Oh, you could sense we were reading a story about one of your brethren.

    Come here.

    We were reading a story about one of your brethren.

    Come here.

    You're going to have to be quiet.

    Okay.

    This is crazy.

    Oh my, my foot's asleep.

    Shit.

    Okay.

    Let me go back because it's important.

    I quickly deduced that this was my dog that I adopted just over a year ago.

    The other girl had my dog, let's call him Theo, for about four months, lost him.

    He was with the rescue rescue for about two months, and I've had him for the past 14 months.

    I adopted Theo from a totally reputable rescue and I spent thousands of dollars on his medical bills and training within the first few months of having him.

    So I know that he's mine, but still I have a pit.

    Should I reach out to the previous owner?

    Am I just opening up a door that doesn't need to be?

    I kind of feel like if I were the other way around, I would want to know that Theo was okay.

    What would you do?

    Michael, does she know the previous owner that the dog was like found and given to this rescue?

    No.

    So she just thinks nothing.

    This, her dog was lost and so i understand wanting to give peace of mind but also she doesn't want to open a door and be like well this is my dog i want him back so it's time you know what it's time for an anonymous letter or or ron when you sam when you and ron went to bed literally it's time for an anonymous letter or why can't the current owner go to the rescue and be like yo can you let this woman know that you found her dog and it's been adopted and all is well i don't think the rescue wants to get involved Like, I can understand like them wanting to wash their hands of it.

    Like they did their job.

    So I understand this girl like not wanting this other human being like this.

    She sounds like a great dog mom.

    Like she trained.

    She paid for all the medical bills.

    Like she sounds like she really cares.

    So Theo is in good hands.

    Yeah.

    So I think it's time for, I think you need to make a fence down.

    Be like, I'm not revealing my identity because I don't want to open up any doors.

    But like I just washed your dog.

    Your dog is in amazing care.

    I'm so sorry that this happened the way that it did, but like I've had your dog for over a year now.

    Possession is nine tenths the law.

    Legally, she totally

    Yeah, and also the previous owner only had the dog for four months.

    Yeah, and like I understand that like things happen, but like you're the one who lost the dog.

    So I was gonna say that, but then I was like, is that rude?

    I don't know.

    Like what if that?

    No, because shit does happen.

    You're right.

    No, actually, I'm not gonna blame.

    I'm not victim blaming here.

    I'm like, it was, things happen.

    But it is nice that you want to give her peace of mind, but you have to protect your peace first.

    100%.

    The theme of today's episode is protecting your peace.

    It's protecting your peace.

    And anonymous letter.

    So if you know where she lives, maybe drop off off an...

    No, actually, don't drop it off.

    No, no, no.

    I think a fake Finsta.

    A fake Finsta or like send a letter in the mail, but put gloves on.

    She's going to find out where she lives.

    It's social media.

    It's so easy.

    Okay, I think a Finsta.

    Like, if this happened to me, I would be so devastated.

    But the nights I would spend awake wondering

    if he's running through the woods, getting beaten by wolves.

    Like, you're doing her a favor.

    So yeah.

    Yeah.

    I think

    anonymous letter never hurt anyone.

    Okay.

    All right, our third and and final one is a little bit longer, but it requires attention.

    Okay, I must.

    Dear Jackson Claude, how you darn?

    My best friend and fellow toaster and I are in need of some serious advice regarding another friend, Wendy.

    We've all been friends since we were in preschool and have grown up together, and we are now all recently graduated from college, but we live in different cities.

    Our friend Wendy broke up with her long-term college boyfriend Philip slightly unexpectedly soon after graduating.

    We all thought they were going to be engaged within the year, so it came as a bit of a shock to us all.

    Soon after the breakup news hit, we come to find that Wendy met someone, Jeremy, while being a camp counselor.

    He sparked sparks the reason for the breakup.

    Why are you laughing?

    No, it's just like the name.

    It's funny what names people choose.

    Here's the kicker.

    Jeremy's a senior in high school.

    What?

    And she's graduated.

    He's at the age of consent in a state that we live in, so it's perfectly legal, but it feels a bit icky.

    She's been hanging out with him for several months now and even took his virginity.

    No.

    The high school he attends is the same small private school we attended almost five years ago.

    And we've told her that people are talking talking about it, but she doesn't really seem to care.

    She seems really happy with him, but we also feel like it could backfire.

    There's even been a few times she's talked about missing Phillips, so we're really not sure what she's thinking.

    We obviously want her to be happy and we want what's best for her, but we're not sure how to go about it.

    Personally, we think Wendy needs a reality check because this situation feels wrong, but we really don't know what to say.

    Sincerely, two very confused toasters.

    That is quite the debacle.

    So, I mean, it's not even so much the years, because when you graduate college, you're 21.

    When you're a high school senior, what, you're like 17.

    But, okay, I do want to say, like, so, yeah, the technically the age gap is fine.

    The number is five years, but it's the

    place you're at.

    A girl dating a guy five years younger than her, because I always say, like, men have the maturity of a two-year-old.

    So, like, a 25-year-old guy and a 25-year-old girl is equivalent to a 28-year-old girl and a 21-year-old guy.

    I agree.

    I think men are developmentally behind about five years.

    So that's why 20-year-old girls need to date 25-year-old boys.

    A thousand percent.

    So she's technically dating a 12-year-old.

    I'm crying.

    No, totally.

    It's even more inappropriate.

    Especially.

    He's like a pie.

    He's taking that SATs.

    He's plying to college.

    No, right.

    It's like, it's different when you're like 40 and 35, but you're so fragile and you're so immature.

    Yeah.

    And college is where you really grow up a lot.

    So the age gap, it's not even about the four years.

    It's about all the experience and the maturity.

    It's really fucking inappropriate.

    He still lives with his parents.

    It's really fucking inappropriate.

    And this girl, I think she's gross.

    I think she's gross.

    I think this is hella inappropriate.

    And I would think it was the same a guy who just graduated college dating a 17-year-old girl.

    That's

    7%.

    I think all around this is so fucking weird.

    Agreed.

    Also, it sounds like she...

    blew up her whole fucking life because clearly she had a really great boyfriend.

    They were going to get married.

    And she threw it away for a summer romance at camp.

    Yeah.

    First rule of camp is never bring it home.

    Camp relationships, stay in camp.

    Never bring it home.

    Everyone knows that.

    My God, Wendy.

    But what do the friends do?

    Oh, right.

    That's the people.

    That's the problem.

    Honestly, like,

    where are her parents?

    Yeah.

    Not to bring them into it, but.

    No, like, you definitely, this is like a serious situation.

    Like,

    it's fucking weird.

    You have to do something.

    What's Philip up to?

    You know, like, is he pining for her?

    You know what?

    Because Philip deserves better.

    I'm not saying.

    Philip deserves better.

    I hope Philip goes on to meet a lovely queen named Elizabeth and they live happily ever after.

    Yeah.

    This is

    like if he, if, if Wendy was willing to throw, Wendy's obviously going through something.

    Like, if Wendy was willing to throw away like a real relationship, like adult relationship, a college, like people thought they were going to get engaged for a teenager, like it's giving.

    It's, you know what's reminding me of?

    That show, The Teacher.

    Yeah, I was thinking that.

    Like, she had a nice relationship and she like literally like would not talk to her boyfriend because she was like fucking her student.

    Like it it was disgusting.

    Obviously it's not as bad as that, but it's still, it's gross.

    Like I don't

    and just because it's legal doesn't mean it's right.

    I agree.

    I also think that

    the friends, like I don't know if they've had like a conversation with her.

    If they have, then sorry, but if they haven't, like, I think it's worth it to like sit her down, have a conversation, voice your concerns.

    But then if she doesn't listen and after that, it's like, there's nothing you can do besides let it run its course.

    No, that's what we say here at the toast because a lot of people write in like, what do I do for my friend?

    Um, and while we all want to be good friends, and I do think you should sit her down and, like, don't come at it from like a combative way.

    At some point, like, people's lives are their own responsibilities and choices they make as fully formed adults, even though, like, out of college, like, you're not even that fully formed.

    So, like, this is definitely still like her, you know,

    making mistakes era.

    People have to learn things on their own.

    Yeah.

    So, you can help someone as much as you want.

    And you love Wendy and you're a good friend, and you both sound like really wonderful people.

    You can try, but then at some point, we're all on our own in this life.

    Yeah.

    You're on your own, kid.

    You always have been.

    Yeah.

    So I think you give it a go, say something once.

    Yeah.

    And then.

    And don't talk so much about let bygones be bygones.

    I would take it from the angle of like, what's going on with you?

    Because, like, there's been a lot of change.

    And, like, is there something going on in your life?

    Because if you come at it, and also you can be like, it seems out of character.

    Yeah.

    If you come at it and being like, you know, everyone in town is talking about you, like, that's rude and that'll make her defensive.

    You have to be so careful.

    Like, when people, when you confront someone, like, it's literally an art.

    Yeah.

    And you can't fuck it up.

    No.

    So good luck with that.

    Yeah.

    Good luck with that.

    Keep us posted.

    Keep us posted.

    And thank you to everyone who wrote in to Dear Toasters.

    Again, deartoas at gmail.com.

    This is the second to last episode of the week.

    I'm hoping Jackie will be back tomorrow.

    I think she will.

    Just this morning was like crazy how we had to get to the doctor.

    And you know what?

    What?

    I'm trying to think.

    Hold on.

    Okay.

    What's the phrase?

    But like, someone's loss is our gain.

    But whose loss is it in this situation?

    Jackie's loss is our gain?

    Yeah, but like, it's not even her loss.

    Like she's literally being a mother.

    Right.

    Bitch, I'm a mother.

    No drama.

    Counts, thank you so much for being here.

    I know you're the busiest woman alive between, you know, working a full-time job, being a full-time content creator, being a full-time podcaster.

    That you would give up like an hour and 10 minutes of your life, it means the world.

    Don't tell my boss.

    I will not.

    But since you're here, let's make it worth your while.

    Everyone listen to Margo's podcast, The Snatcher, which is available anywhere you get your podcast.

    Episodes drop what, which day?

    Thursdays.

    Thursdays.

    Hear all about it.

    It's not about The Bachelor anymore.

    So we all gave up on that.

    So you can go back to listening.

    Margo's talking about her fabulous life, date she's been on.

    Her bestie, Nicole, joins her.

    And it's just like, if you want to know what it's like to be young and fabulous, which I really never was when I was young, I was...

    You're still young.

    No, when I was like actually young, I had like two moles on my face.

    I wasn't fabulous.

    So it's nice to, you know, see the lens.

    Follow her on Instagram at Margoshray.
