Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the toast.

Happy Thursday.

Welcome to the back latter half of the week.

Congratulations, girlies.

We did it.

Hey, Jax.

Hey, you darn.

I'm dern.

Great.

Thank you for asking.

So joyous that it's a Thursday, such as Simcha.

And I hope

everyone is celebrating accordingly as we gear up for the end of the week.

It's almost here, you guys.

Not only is it the end of the week, but next week is Thanksgiving.

So most people should have a nice short week next week.

We're really off.

officially have entered holiday season.

I mean, we know holiday season is being kicked off when toastmerch.com is lit up with the new holiday merch collection from the toast girlies.

Oh, yeah.

And we kicked off holiday holiday season early because we want to make sure everyone gets their holiday gifts in time for the holidays now speaking of holiday gifts i had a transformative evening because i got all of my holiday shopping done someone i need to thank this person sent me Patricia Aldschul's Instagram where she did a post about how you can order from Buckingham Palace gift shop online and they send it to you in the mail and it's like premium, premium stuff.

How much was shipping?

There wasn't like a crazy shipping cost.

They ship internationally, DHL.

So also like if it's good, like I know a gift shop could be like a little yikes, but if it's good enough for Patricia, it's good enough for your school.

No, I wouldn't assume Buckingham Palace gift shop to be like, you know, a Hudson News gift shop.

You just, you never know what kind of quality they're putting into their gift shop.

I was on the website for hours last night.

Like,

they have the most amazing gifts for everyone in your family, but also just things for yourself, things that you need.

Like I got an apron, which I've been feeling like I need.

I got my 2023 planner that's Buckingham Palace site.

I don't know.

Like it's so queeny.

I would have gotten something for you, but I just didn't feel like you would want that.

So why?

Because you're just really like anti-royal, really.

How is that the case?

How is that the case?

Don't be revisionist history because you're bitter because you took it a little too far.

I am an enormous fan of the family i've watched a crown in two days i'm just trying to reel you in a little bit for the sake of the business not for any other reason sure

well they have amazing things amazing things for kids like it was the highlight of my day and i just wanted to share that pass it along like things you could never dream of they have no that's a nice it's hard to find unique new gifts feels like everyone's getting the same thing that's why you got to shop our toast sponsors for your stocking stuffers

and shopbuckinghampalace.com.

Right.

And our toast approved holiday gift guide.

We do a holiday gift guide every year on the Patreon.

You know, we should do that for November, like this month, because we don't want to wait too long.

Yeah.

People love our gift guides and like Amazon gift guide, just like everything that we think would make great gifts.

I'm like not a good gift giver.

Also, like there's so many things that like stink about being Jewish during this time of year.

Like you just are so left out.

But whenever everyone's like, I got to do my holiday shopping, like you don't really have holiday shopping.

Like Hanukkah gifts when you're a kid or a thing, you get like a toy.

But like as an adult, it's like not really a thing.

So when everyone's like running around the mall last minute trying to get, you know, do my Christmas shopping, like we don't have to do that.

So that is kind of nice.

No, but I'm feeling like this year I just want to get people gifts for the holidays.

Who knows when they'll come, when you'll receive them.

There's no rhyme or reason.

It's just.

I'm feeling festive and generous.

Well, you have my address, so feel free.

I'm always thinking of you.

And anytime I see a Claudia, actually, I did see a gift.

No, I shouldn't have got it for you because I've gotten you one before and you didn't even like it.

But it was a puzzle.

A queen puzzle on the website.

You know, I actually probably would have liked that, but I just got to a place in my life where I was talking about like how much I loved puzzles.

And then literally I got like 18 puzzles from different people.

And I was like, all right, first of all, I don't like puzzles that much.

Second of all, I'm very specific when it comes to puzzles.

Like, if you're going to give me a landscape, like a green garden, and the whole thing is green, like, I'm not doing it.

I need an easy-ish puzzle.

Like, you know what I mean?

You know what else I got?

Like, so fucking cute.

They have a lot of kids' pajamas and they have footed onesie baby pajamas that are Buckingham Palace Guards costume.

Deceased.

Deceased.

Deceased.

I got some books.

They have some nice history books.

I got a Royal Line of Succession book because I just need a family tree that I can always reference or not reference.

Or, you know, throw it up, put it in a blender.

Exactly.

Well, it is Thursday.

So if I have this like pep in my step today, I would get watched.

Okay, no, it's so good to know.

It's important to always reference like why you're in a good or bad mood.

You know what I mean?

Totally.

And they have sweets, biscuits, so much good food stuff.

You can get a hamper.

I didn't know that's what it's called.

And it's like all these food gifts.

You can get something to throw your dirty undies in.

Well, and then I guess you could use it as a hamper.

The queen's hamper.

For when you buy her dirty undies for at auction.

Dirty undies at auction, yeah.

So it's Thursday, which means we have an amazing show because spirits are high here at the toast because it's Thursday and clearly somebody got their holiday shopping done early and she's on cloud nine.

So it means fabulousness for everyone.

Fabulous news, fabulous stories, fabulous sponsors, fabulous girls, lots of fabulosity.

Lots of fabulosity.

And then the rest of my week, it's time.

You guys, we're one week for the homemakers out there.

We're one week out from Thanksgiving.

And so it's time to start.

Prep.

I didn't realize if you're cooking your own Thanksgiving, like you don't cook everything the day of, not even close.

Like you cook

desserts a few days in advance because those can go straight in the freezer.

You do gravy beforehand, like a bunch of other stuff.

So on the day of, it's as easy as possible.

So I need to start like making my grocery list, getting everything.

I'm going to make my gravy and we'll take it from there.

But this is my first time hosting Thanksgiving and I'm not taking it lightly.

And it's a huge undertaking.

I commend you because one thing about me, I'm a permanent guest.

I'm not a host.

I'm a guest.

So for me, the prep really starts about an hour before some foundation, some concealer, some contour, and I'm ready to go.

Yeah, plus, you want to set your table whenever you have an opportunity to, because that can be done.

Yeah, that shouldn't be a day of thing because that can sit out for a month.

Yeah, just don't let it get dusty.

How many people are you having over?

Just

four adults, three children, one Bryce.

But it's that Bryce.

It changes everything.

It changes everything.

Yeah.

How is my Bryce?

He's good.

They also have some gifts for pets at the Buckingham gift shop, of course.

That's not surprising

by any means, because one thing about the queen is that she respected the Strice brothers.

Oh.

Indirectly, but.

Big time.

Except, did you see that scene in the crown when the Romanoffs were about to be murdered and there was a cavalier in the mix?

Yeah, I did.

It was really upsetting.

Just one, you know, in all the history that I've read, I never read that the Romanoffs had a cavalier because that's something I would have remembered.

So I'm pretty, like, I just don't want to get too upset.

But there were definitely dogs at a Patyev house that's for sure well the crown is fictional so

but it's like not

but there we're therein lies the proof we're in this in-between and and that's the problem like we don't know what's true and what's false no that's kind of like Danielle Staub I feel like the crown is really in their Danielle Staub era like there is no in-between with them no they're only in between they're the anti-Danielle Staub precisely precisely what I said Not at all.

It's exactly what I said.

I know that's one of your other favorite things to say.

It is because sometimes, like, the only thing that can really wrap up, like, whether we're having a debate or we're talking, sometimes the only way to perfectly wrap up a conversation is in

think looking at it through the lens of Danielle Staub's season one tagline.

You either love me or hate me.

There is no in-between with me.

It was a chapter title in one of my books.

I feel as though it is one of, if not the most important quote of our lifetime.

more important than the law is reason free from passion.

It's up there.

If I had to have a list of like maybe five or ten, those two would definitely both be on there.

Okay.

Another one would be: you either die the hero or live long enough to become the villain.

Ooh, that's good.

That's a very like a bone-chilling quote.

Yeah.

Sometimes, and I guess this is where like Instagram quote culture like comes into play because sometimes like a quote can really like

shift perspectives.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's beautiful.

Speaking of Danielle's stab, we've got some big Real Housewives news today, some drama in the New York reboot, which we're going to discuss and

get into.

And we have some other stories.

I know you threw a royal story in there.

It's okay.

I did.

Oh, you know what?

I actually didn't make the cut.

Maybe tomorrow.

Oh, maybe tomorrow.

Okay.

Oh, we can talk about it now.

No, I need the facts and the names and everything.

Maybe tomorrow.

Maybe I'll take another look while you're reading an ad.

So, no, no, no, no, it's okay.

Maybe I'll move some things around.

I shouldn't have brought it up.

I shouldn't have brought it up.

Without further ado,

where is Brew?

He doesn't come to work anymore.

Do it, did it, do, neither does Thu.

He's like, Mom, get off my back.

Do it, did it, do.

Bruce says the same.

He says, Do your own damn work.

Do it, do it, do, sounds like Thu.

He says, get the fuck out of my house.

They say, Dood did do, where's my food?

Go work and put some food on the table.

Did it do,

brass and stripes?

They hate their mom and auntie.

Damn, those Strice brethren, they can turn on a dime.

So true, bro, so true.

Now, without further ado, here are the fast five stories that you, yes, you, need to know.

And today's episode is brought to you by the iconic, the award-winning sparkling cocktail, Spritz Society.

If you haven't already heard, and you definitely should have heard, Spritz Society was named the best canned cocktail by USA Today.

If that isn't a reason to try these sparkling cocktails for the first time, then we don't know what is.

Spritz Society takes all natural, recognizable ingredients, packs them into a convenient sparkling canned cocktail that you can take anywhere.

They're low calorie, low sugar drinks with 6% ABV and five iconic flavors to choose from.

Grapefruit, blood orange, peach, pineapple, and lemon.

There's a little something to fit every vibe.

So it's like I could share with you my favorite flavors.

They're peach and grapefruit, but Sprint Society is so personal.

Like everyone has a different favorite.

Like there is a lemon cult.

There's a big pineapple community.

I'm a grapefruit and peach girly, but honestly, like

The longer I get into the night, I'll really take anyone.

They're so good.

It's the perfect thing to drink outside with family, perfect thing to bring to a dinner party.

One of the four packs has a bottle and a half of wine, so that's a lot of wine.

They're 6% ABV, and now we sell variety packs where you can get the four iconic flavors all in one.

If you don't know what to try first, get the Spritz Variety 8 pack.

It features all four of the original flavors, and then you can add peach to your cart and complete the whole set.

Of course, we always have a code for Spritz Society here at the Toast because we are founders of the brand.

Use code Toast, T-O-A-S-T, for 10% off at spritzsociety.com.

That's toast for 10% off at spritzsociety.com.

Great.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

First story, Lizzy Savetsky has exited Real House Eyes of New York reboot over anti-Semitism.

So page six has reported that Lizzie Savetsky has quit the Real House Eyes of NYC, the reboot before the new season has even wrapped.

Multiple sources told page six, the social media influencer who is Jewish received a wave of anti-Semitic comments when she was announced as a cast member.

As soon as she was announced, she was getting insane threats and anti-Semitism on social media.

A source familiar with the show told page six.

Another insider added that Lizzie was, quote, scared.

Then Lizzie posted yesterday on her Instagram saying, I will not be continuing on the Real Houses of NYC.

As a proud Orthodox Jewish woman, I thought participating in this series would be a great chance to represent people like me and share my experience.

Unfortunately, from the time of my announcement in the cast, I was on the receiving end of a torrent of anti-Semitic attacks.

As this continued, I realized that this path was no longer right for me and my family.

I'm looking forward to my next chapter.

Stay tuned.

Thank you for your love and support.

So I feel like there's two things going on here.

The first is like, I have no doubt that when she was announced, she's Orthodox Jewish.

She's very, you know, proudly pro-Israel.

She was going to get absolutely annihilated because being pro-Israel is like these days, like the worst thing you can do.

And it's actually quite a lovely thing to be.

So I feel like she was probably prepared for a decent amount because that's she's also, she's an influencer and full-time activist for Judaism, for against anti-Semitism, for Israel.

So I feel like she definitely deals with like a way like a huge amount of this on a daily basis.

And I'm sure when she was announced, it was a level that she didn't even think was possible.

But and there have been

like lots of rumors going around about there being more there.

So I don't want to discount the fact that like this definitely played a factor.

She has young kids.

I don't think really anyone wants to put their family through that.

And I actually do think in the end, she'll be really grateful she didn't do it because like we see this happen like Garcel on like really pre-established franchises with well-respected housewives who have like earned their credit.

Even they are not above the crazy Bravo fan attacks.

So I do think in the end she'll be happy she didn't do it.

But there is something else going on because I don't think you know, this is it.

Yeah, because from the, they announced that she was a cast member officially at BravoCon.

We've known for months that she was going to be a cast member.

I think she's received a lot of anti-Semitism.

Even a lot of some of the Bravo fan accounts that posted the news that she was leaving.

I was reading the comments and it's like, that's the kind of anti-Semitism that you need to worry about.

Saying that Bravo should have never cast her because she has the word Zionist in her bio.

Right.

All of these like horrible things that are.

It's so, it's so messed up.

And it's not even like necessarily quote unquote threatening or violent.

It's just like blanketly not accepting her because she's a Zionist and that's the worst thing you can do dismissing her existence entirely so I think that when she joined and she got this tarn of anti-Semitism which she's so online and she's so pro-Israel and that's just not they

don't blend well it's a scary place to be I imagine that at first she was like no I'm gonna stand firm in my spot because I'm gonna be on the show and I'm gonna show everyone like what it is to be an Orthodox Jewish woman what it is to be a Zionist and what I'm doing is important and then from what we understand something happened while they were filming i now we heard it like through the grapevine and page six also reported on their tick tock that there was an event and lizzie is a matchmaker jewish matchmaker and one of the women wanted lizzy to set her up to meet someone and we did some research there's only three single women on the show so it yes uh jenna lyons Uba Hassan and Bryn Whitfield.

I had heard that it was Bryn, but it could be any of the three women because they're the only single ones.

Single.

And so they asked like Lizzie like, oh, could you set me up?

And Lizzie said that she only sets up Jewish people with Jewish people.

And then the person said something to the effect of that's what Nazis do and called Lizzie a Nazi.

Right.

She said, like, I, my, the point of my matchmaking is to further the Jewish population.

So I actually only set up Jewish people with other Jewish people.

And the girl, I think Bryn, but any of those women said, well, that sounds like something a Nazi would say.

Right.

That's what the Nazis did.

That's what she said.

And that's.

Which is really

like not an okay thing to say.

And what's so weird to me is like, because this is so under wraps is like Lizzie's getting dragged right now on social media

By like the bravo fandom when in reality like She was literally called a Nazi and I just want to say like I guess to some people that saying like I would only set up Jewish people with Jewish people is like a crazy thing or offensive.

But let me tell you, I know a million girls from high school, people I'm still friends with, who run these like matchmaking groups.

The whole point is to marry off like young Jewish men with young Jewish women.

It's a very common thing.

Like we're just now getting back to pre-Holocaust numbers.

Like furthering the Jewish population and

ensuring the existence of the Jewish people for generations to come is a very common thing.

It's a very okay thing.

There's literally nothing wrong with it.

I feel like we've said multiple times on the show, like personally, like when I was dating, like I would only consider Jewish.

candidates.

And that's a personal preference and that's a preference of a lot of people.

I think it's a preference of a lot of people in different religions.

It's not an exclusively Jewish thing.

It's great to do others.

I empower everyone to do whatever they want.

But dating, you have preferences and everyone has their own preferences.

And that's okay.

No, and Jews are not the only minority community who want to

stick together.

And like, there's a number of reasons why I think for Lizzie, like her mission of being a Jewish matchmaker is, you know, the Jewish population was depleted after the Holocaust.

And as you said, like, we're just getting back to those numbers.

And.

That's an important mission of hers.

Also, like, a lot of Jewish people want to be with other Jewish people because you have a lot in common.

You have similar values, interests, taste in food, even.

Like, it's just, and a lot of minority communities are in the same, think the same way.

So it's not like a crazy, crazy thing.

No, and by the way, and that's not something that makes you a Nazi.

And the Nazis weren't like Nazis because they wouldn't marry outside of, the Nazis were Nazis because they were like murderous, genocidal monsters.

So I think Lizzie just wanting her Jewish brothers and sisters to marry each other, really, that's a stretch.

No, and I know like people on the internet like are constantly jumping to conclusions.

So it's important to also note like just because you want to marry someone from your own faith or you want to set up other people from your own faith doesn't mean you like hate interfaith or interracial marriages.

That's literally not what we're saying.

Like I think that shit is fabulous.

I think you should marry whoever the fuck you want.

I love that for you.

But personally, like when I was dating, I was only looking at a certain pool of people.

So just keep in mind, like just because you say one thing, that doesn't mean like you hate the other, you know, just because the internet is like so fucking crazy sometimes.

Yeah.

You can, two things can be true.

Yeah.

You can love all marriages.

Right.

But if you like want to be a matchmaker, you have your particular area of focus.

Like Patty Sanger.

Does she hate poor people because she's the millionaire matchmaker?

Actually, I do think Patty Sanger hated poor people.

So I just think this is like a really interesting thing going on because like Lizzie is being dragged by the fandom for being like Jewish and Zionist and all these things.

And it's like, where is the person who called the Jewish girl a Nazi?

Like where's the dragging for her?

Again, I don't know who confirmed it is.

Most people don't know the story of what happened and they're just seeing that Lizzie left because of anti-Semitism, which is not really.

It's not the whole story.

And therefore, it's like kind of weird because she was experiencing anti-Semitism the whole time.

So why now?

Why would you leave now?

And so I think people don't have the information, but they're just going off of like, well, good.

She should have never been on.

Her views are crazy.

She's a Zionist.

And it's like, and then it goes back to like Bravo needs to start vetting their candidates better.

And it's like, just because a housewife doesn't agree with everything you think doesn't mean that they shouldn't be a housewife.

Vetting their candidates like she's some kind of criminal.

Yeah.

No, I saw like read the comments on those Bravo Instagram.

No, I can't.

It's too upsetting.

It's really too upsetting.

Like being a Zionist and supporting Israel, the Jewish homeland is literally the most normal thing ever.

It's totally okay.

If you don't agree with it, okay, sure, whatever.

We are all complex human beings, but like, fuck off.

Stop making it out to be this thing where it's like, you'd be thrown in jail.

It's like, it's not even a job.

It's like someone should be written off, canceled.

It's a

controversial, unsavory view.

It's none of those things.

It's not.

It's not.

And I refuse to accept that narrative.

I really do.

Yeah.

So I can't read that shit.

It really upsets me.

Like, I just can't believe that you're not.

Literally, one tiny slice of land for the Jews.

Literally, we were murdered.

We didn't have anywhere to go.

We need our biblical homeland.

I can't.

People are dumb, ugly, stupid, and annoying, and I hate you all.

Funny, they can't have that one tiny slice of land.

They just can't.

It's too much.

It's too much.

It's too much land.

It's just one,

one country for the Jews.

How many Christian countries there are?

The size of New Jersey for reference.

It's too much.

New Jersey, they can't have it.

Well, I have reached out to Lizzie, offering her a platform here on the show.

I would love to hear what she has to say.

I have met her at like Jewish events.

She's like very involved in the community and she's a great spokesperson for the Jewish people.

And I was really looking forward to seeing her on the show.

Also, I thought it was really cool that production was like, really, they really wanted her on the show.

She's very, she's much more religious than we are.

So that means like there's a lot more restrictions for her for Shabbat.

She can't travel.

She can't use electronics.

All the holidays.

Like we're, you know, less religious than that.

So I loved that production was going to make all these, you know, things work for her logistically.

I thought it was really cool.

Like, you know, New York is the biggest, most dense population of Jews in America.

I thought it was great that we had a girly on there.

And I just think this reboot is not off to a great start.

No, and I have a few questions now because it's like, I don't know how much footage they have.

Are they going to take Lizzie out of everything?

I don't know.

Are they going to show what happened and then how Lizzie walked away?

Also, the page six thing said that this comment from the cast member happened.

And then I think production's response to it is what was the final nail for Lizzie and left.

Like, oh, like they didn't have her back.

Yeah, something to that effect.

Like, it wasn't just because someone said something.

It was the way it was handled.

Okay, well, that makes sense too, because it's a crazy ass thing to say.

Yeah.

Also, like, lest we not forget, Lizzie was supposed to be on Real House Eyes of Dallas and then they never got there last season.

Then she was moving to New York and they put her on legacy.

She was the first cast member that was rumored to be announced.

And I can't believe that she's not doing it.

No, because it seems like they like really wanted her in the franchise in one way or the other.

It seems like like she's was down, like extremely down to be on reality TV, to put herself out there.

So like how bad were things that she's not doing it?

And she's not even waiting till the end of the season to see how things go.

Like goodbye.

Yeah.

No, that's so true.

And I am really curious if this is going to be like completely written out or it's now like a big storyline.

I think it'll be.

I do imagine that.

I think it'll be in the show.

I'd love to see what this comment was that clearly set her off.

Yeah.

And maybe it was like following a bunch of other stuff that she experienced on the show.

And like, you never know what's going to be the thing.

That's like, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're done.

You never know what's the thing that's going to set you off.

No, exactly.

Taylor has a really good quote in one of her songs.

I think it's Dear Reader, which is like a little cringy, but

bend when you can, snap when you have to.

Yes.

If that ain't me.

If that ain't you.

Literally, not you quoting Taylor.

Oh, added to the quotes list.

Update to everyone from yesterday for the Capital One presale.

I was in the queue for three hours.

No tickets remaining.

I'm with the general on-sale public, whenever that is.

I've just resigned myself to the sheer fact that I will be a victim of the resale market.

And that's okay.

It's okay.

I'm going to pay a premium, but I'm happy to do it for my girly.

Now, let me ask you something.

How is any of that different from what you said yesterday when we decided that you were going to just...

well yesterday I still had the hopes of yesterday but today

it was the verified fan presale which me and Margo got and then it was Capital One cardholder presale I did get two of my friends to offer me their credit cards and I would pay them back and I didn't even get a chance to use them because so many people were in the queue

yeah it was very sad I'm sorry I'm laughing because someone like sent me a DM saying like tell Claudia and Margo that they can see what number they are in the queue if they go to, like, the

right-click on Safari

view page source, you'll see the back end HTML of the website.

And if you go down to line 222, it'll say exactly how many people are in front of you.

So I sent that to Claudia and Margo, like, oh my God, I saw the CM.

You guys probably like aren't looking at your DMs right now.

And then Claudia wrote back, yes, we are 28,000 and 22,000, respectfully,

respectively.

Respectively.

Yeah, I was 22,000 for two hours.

Like no, but not a single person moved in front of me for two hours.

And then quickly it dropped to like 14,000.

And then I was just, it was, I knew when it started dropping really quick.

I'm like, oh, great.

People are getting in, seeing that it's sold out and leaving.

Now, let me ask you something.

Are you looking to hear from Taylor about this debacle?

So there's like a lot of rhetoric and dialogue.

People are really angry and being like, can't believe Taylor's just left us out here, not saying anything.

I don't really know what she could say.

Like Taylor, people are mad at a few things.

One, that the pre-sale was such a fucocta mess.

Really, there's only so much she could do.

She got her verified pre-sale for fans.

She got them to do that first

before Capital One.

I think she advocated to Ticketmaster as much as she could.

I don't know, at some point it is out of her hands.

But what people are really upset about her is for opting into dynamic pricing.

Yes, this is what I saw.

So what that means is like Ticketmaster has an option when you're an artist to have dynamic pricing or not dynamic pricing.

And what dynamic pricing means is like if a lot of people are buying tickets all at once, you know, supply and demand,

cost will go up because there's so much demand.

Or you can opt in to have the tickets stay the same price the whole time, no matter what.

First come, first serve, everyone gets the same pricing.

Taylor, you know, our capitalist queen,

she opted in for dynamic pricing.

And, you know, you could be mad all you want, but like, you would do it too for a check.

So sorry, Taylor Swift is human.

Alert the press.

Yeah, but I mean, I think it was worth mentioning that Luke Combs has non-dynamic pricing.

No, of course, because Luke Combs, like, is the everybody man, you know?

Yeah.

I know.

But, and also a lot of people were saying,

no, a lot of people were also comparing to the Olivia Rodrigo sour tour.

She had similar like

rates of people showing up and not getting tickets.

Again, she was playing tiny venues.

But

her team,

there were so many bots who then bought tickets and put it on resale markets.

Her team bought back from the bots, from the ticket resale websites, bought them back and relisted them for like the normal price on Ticketmaster.

So the bots got their money?

Yes, but then the fans got their tickets for a normal price.

Nice, but I don't like the bots.

I just getting their body.

I just don't think it should be this hard.

Like, why can't a bunch of celebrities like who have been, like, Luke Homes and Taylor, like, they need to get together.

They have enough money between the two of them and start like a competitor to Ticketmaster that prioritizes fans, that works really well with artists.

And between Taylor and Luke Homes, they have so many friends in the industry.

They could get like a major amount of artists to leave Ticketmaster.

But the problem is, is that, and this is why what everyone's talking about, is that Ticketmaster is a monopoly because Ticketmaster owns Live Nation.

And Live Nation is the biggest promoter of concerts.

So if you're going to be out here doing concerts, there's Live Nation.

AEG and Outback, but Live Nation and AEG are two of the biggest ones.

You want one of those to be your promoter.

You're like, you can't really go on tour without them.

They do all the work for you.

So if you want Live Nation, which is the best promoter in the country, to promote your concert, you then also have to work with Ticketmaster.

So that's why a lot of people are, you know, complaining that that never, that merger should have never happened because it is a monopoly.

Yes.

But even if Taylor and Luke made their own ticket platform and prioritized fans, how could they actually make sure that fans got the tickets?

It sounds like she's trying to prioritize her fans through Ticketmaster.

Yeah.

How do you like, what could they do differently, really?

well i think um a lot of people were upset that taylor was allowing uh

six tickets to be bought at a time because that's what bots do they buy six and like set sell you know two sets of three no three sets of two excuse me um like that was one thing two also like for this verified pre-fan sale whatever you got a code and then you

when it was time you would click the link and you would wait on the queue for hours and then put in your code.

So there was like thousands and thousands of people who were waiting in the queue who didn't even have a code, like morons.

So like, why not put the code in in order to get in line for the queue, you know?

Yeah.

So just like logistical things, especially Capital One yesterday, you just basically had to check out with a Capital One credit card.

And if you didn't have a Capital One credit card, your purchase would be declined.

But it's like, so how come we all could get in line, even if you didn't have a Capital One credit card and like slow down the process and crash the website?

Moronic.

So there were like logistically things that could have been done better.

At the end of the day, there isn't a million things that like Taylor could have done to prioritize fans.

Like this is how ticketing works.

And I think the people complaining and crying on social media that they have survivor's guilt, the ones who got tickets, people really are not doing that.

I think they're not.

They're not saying it seriously, are they?

They are.

They are saying it dead seriously.

I saw a TikTok and I actually made it.

They had survivors guilt because they got tickets and they feel guilty for those that are out in the cold.

I made a response video and immediately deleted it because I knew people were going to call me out being like, it's easy for you to say like you can afford Steph Hub.

And they're not wrong.

So like I'm not the injured party here.

I think the injured party are people who really, really want to see Taylor and couldn't get face value tickets.

So, I don't know.

I would accept people who won't get to go to a concert that they wanted to go to.

I would categorize them as injured, too.

No, so it was this girl like laying in her bed.

She had like text all over the screen and there was just like music playing in the background.

She's like, I'm feeling so confused.

I know millions of people are hurting right now.

It was so serious.

And like, I just had to hop on there and be like, Kim, there's people that are dying.

Like, there are wars going on.

There are people with terminal illnesses.

Like, you need to calm down.

It's a motherfucking concert, bitch.

And it's important to remember, this isn't the end.

Like, resale tickets, yes, are more expensive, but like day of tickets, like there are all these apps.

You can get like $20 seats.

Like, there's a million ways to go to a concert if you want to go, especially one at a stadium that seats 80,000 people.

Calm the fuck down, bitch.

That's so crazy.

You need to calm down.

And I think Taylor, like.

Saying something would kind of validate people being nuts.

So I kind of am here for her silence.

Okay.

I don't have a thought on it.

There's a lot of toxicity and entitlement in the Swift fandom, I believe.

And I think like Taylor making a statement would then

enable that entitlement.

Okay.

Unless she was just like, stay patient.

We're doing our best.

Thanks for the support.

She doesn't have to like apologize or anything, but just be like, Shit's crazy.

Thanks for showing up.

Yeah, no, you know what?

She should make a statement that says, yes, I am that bitch, like breaking websites, breaking credit card companies.

And that's what you get when you're the biggest star in the world.

Like, I never heard Cold Play have this problem, you know?

Totally.

Okay, let's move on to

this.

To not to drag Cold Play.

Let's move on to our next story, which is Pete Davidson and M.

Rada have their first pics together and they're getting cozy.

So Pete and Emily are already looking like a picture-perfect couple in matching outfits.

Just days after sources reveal the two are dating.

In photos obtained by page six, the pair matched in black puffer jackets and white t-shirts and gray sweatpants while meeting to celebrate Pete's 29th birthday.

They were first spotted together

a few days ago.

Pete arrived at Emily's apartment in the West Village.

She was walking out to meet his car, but there was too many paparazzi, so she turned around.

But last night, she walked into a building and cameras caught them embracing with

a hug.

Forlorn building.

I'm like, these are two of the biggest stars.

Like, what is this dumb?

Yeah, biggest stars, and they're just like wearing sweatpants, and it could just be like anyone in the world.

And it looks like, you know, like a post-grad walk-up apartment that has roaches, you know?

Yeah, and that's his birthday celebration question mark.

That's Pete, the man of the people.

Yeah, I just want to say, I'm not going to be like a really like a denier, a Davidson rata denier because I don't care.

But I thought that that hug looked like really friendly.

Like, I mean, by the way, it's important to keep in mind this is like their second or third date.

That's true.

I guess that's how I would hug someone.

I'm on a second date.

That's how you would embrace someone who like you're into, but like you're not dating.

Yeah.

I thought the same thing too, but then I'm like, wait, this is blown up so much, but like they were spotted on Dumois like four days ago.

But you don't think that they saw each other privately a little bit before people were showing up at other people's apartments?

Maybe, maybe.

But if that's the case, that's still a relatively new relationship.

Yeah.

I thought the embrace was very like fratty.

Like I thought he was going to give her like a nugget.

No, it's like she's coming over to his frat house.

Like, here, let's take a look around.

I'll show you my room.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And, like, we'll play Xbox with the boys.

Yeah.

No, it was definitely, it was definitely giving like college embrace.

Yeah.

But again.

But maybe that's the Pete Davidson way.

I think that they are well suited and me too.

Age appropriate.

All good.

All good.

All good.

Just I love our first photo.

It's always a big milestone in a celebrity relationship.

It is.

It's the one you think of forever, them at Knottsbury Farm, you know?

Are you ready for our next story, which is a little more romance news?

Yes, but literally, ever since you brought up Dear Reader, like in my head, I'm like, Dear Reader, Carlin upon, I thought you should know.

I kind of like hate that song.

I kind of don't like the melody, but I think it might be one of the best written songs on the album.

Like, it's extremely profound.

Yeah, I mean, that one line.

Let's look at the lyrics.

Yeah.

Dear reader, lyrics.

dear reader lyrics dear reader if it feels like a track lyrics you're already in one true that dear reader get out your map pick somewhere and just run

okay

dear reader burn all the files desert all your past lives and if you don't recognize yourself that means you did it right

oh chilling never take advice from someone who's falling apart true ain't that the truth dear reader bend when you can, snap when you have to.

Facts.

Dear reader, you don't have to answer just because they asked you.

Trills.

Dear reader, the greatest of luxuries is your secrets.

I don't know.

I disagree.

Ever had a Birkin?

Ever had a nice bath, a massage.

A trip to an island.

Dear reader, when you aim at the devil, make sure you don't miss.

Agreed.

Agreed.

So I wander through these nights.

I prefer hiding in plain sight.

My fourth drink in my hand.

These desperate prayers of a cursed man.

Over my head.

Yeah, me too.

Billing out to you for free.

But darling, darling, please, you wouldn't take my word for it if you knew who was talking, if you knew where I was walking to a house, not a home, all alone.

Because nobody's there where I pace in my pen, and my friends found friends who care.

No one sees you when, no one sees when you lose when you're playing solitaire.

Okay, actually, I wanted to ask you, I needed a clarification on a Taylor lyric that I feel like nobody's kind of looked into.

It's from Karma.

Okay.

Supple it up.

No, it's just one line.

Put fingers down.

Karma takes all my friends to the summit.

Is there something after that?

No.

Well, taking something.

So what's the summit?

The summit is like the edge of a cliff, I think.

Oh, it's not like one of those.

I thought it was one of those like Bill Gates billionaires.

There are

called summits, too.

But isn't there one called the Summit?

It's like in Idaho when all the billionaires go?

It's not called the Summit.

G1 Summit or something?

But it's in like Sun Valley.

That is a summit where there's a meeting of the minds.

Oh, okay.

So what is the dictionary definition for summit?

It's like a cliff?

It is.

Hold on.

Let me just get that Sun Valley summit for you.

Karma's going to track you down step by step.

I think it's just

a conference, that Sun Valley thing.

The summit is the highest point of a hill or a mountain.

It's also a meeting between heads of government.

But I think it's the first one in her thing.

Karma takes all my friends to the sun.

And I think when you're at the highest point of a hill or a mountain, like you could either fall off of it.

No, no.

Or you're standing tall.

It's a choice.

karma too the summit is really like a not a choice but it could go either way sort of thing no and i think the way she's leaning into is like karma benefits her friends because all of her friends reach mountain peaks like they're all doing well oh true or karma and like takes her friends to the summit in which case like

when

karma could be like a negative or a positive thing and when it's right of course when it's a negative thing like her friends might fall if that's what they deserve as bad friends when it's a positive i think it's the previous when it's a positive thing, her friends are peaking because they're good friends.

Because they deserve it.

Yeah.

I think it's that.

I think, was that, do you feel like you have more clarity now?

I actually do.

And no, they don't.

Karma doesn't take all of her friends to the G10 summit.

That's what I thought.

I'm like, oh my God, I feel like more people should be talking about this.

Karma takes all her friends to Davos.

Right.

Literally.

That's really funny.

Okay.

Are you ready for our next story now?

A little more romance news.

Is it the romance news that's brought to you by Modern Fertility?

Mm-hmm.

Knowledge is power, and when you know more, you can make better decisions for your body, your health, and your future.

There aren't many decisions bigger than having a kid, but for many women, their fertility is a big question mark.

That's why Modern Fertility was created, an easy and affordable way to test your fertility hormones at home with a simple finger prick.

Mail it in with a prepaid label, and you'll get your personalized results within six days.

You'll get insight into your hormone levels, like your ovarian reserve, which is basically how many eggs, fewer or more on average, than the woman your age, or other important factors that can impact your fertility.

The results will go deep into what every hormone means, and you can also download the results to review with your doctor for next steps.

Traditional hormone testing at a fertility clinic can cost over $600, but for modern fertility, test the same general set of hormones at a fraction of the price.

And if you go to modernfertility.com/slash toast30, you can get an additional $30 off off your test.

Plus, you can get reimbursed for the rest through your FSA or your HSA.

Right now, Modern Fertility is offering our listeners that $30 off the test when you go to modernfertility.com slash toast30.

It's a limited time offer for the $30 off, and that means your test is going to come out to just $149.

Hormone testing at a fertility clinic can cost more than three times as that, as much as that.

So again, get $30 off your fertility test when you go to modernfertility.com slash toast30.

It is a limited time offer at modernfertility.com slash T-O-A-S-T number three, number zero.

Modernfertility.com slash toast three zero.

Thank you so much, McCard.

Yada, welcome.

I was just thinking about the summit thing because this book that I just read said a couple times that like falling in love is like being on the edge of a cliff, which say falling in love is like being at the taking it going to the summit.

And it's another thing, falling in love can be such a positive or such a negative, just like karma.

So.

oh, I learned a new word too.

I actually find like that little dictionary feature on the Kindle to be enormously helpful because I'm really not like good with the words.

And there was a word in my book yesterday that was like so obvious.

I'm like, how do I not know this word?

Compulsory?

What is it?

It's like it has to do with

mandatory.

That's a good word.

I didn't know that.

Yeah, I thought it was a good word.

I'm going to try and use it.

Like, I'm going to use it in a sentence.

Jackie.

Hold on.

So, is it a verb?

Like, what?

It's an adjective.

Yeah, like you describe something as being mandatory.

Jackie,

you look so stunning today.

I didn't know sickening was a compulsory

quality.

Was compulsory.

Quality of the morning toast.

You did know that, though.

Okay.

I didn't know that yet, but I was just being fictional for the sentence.

Yeah, I would say

delivering the next story is a compulsory act of mine as hosted of the morning toast.

I would say that as well.

Are you ready for it?

I feel like Aquila at the B.

We haven't been ready for this story.

No, because Aquila and the B is the best fucking movie of all time.

Like Lawrence Fishburne's best work, of course, Kiki Palmer.

You see Kiki Palmer's hosting SNL this week?

No, I didn't.

Who's the musical guest?

Siza.

So it'll be like a really good one.

And I feel like Kiki Palmer is the perfect person for SNL.

And I'm glad because like while she might not be like the most famous, they're putting talent first.

And that's where she's going to thrive.

And I feel like this is going to be a huge platform for her, and she's gonna become a huge star.

She is, but like, I feel like she's gonna become an even bigger star.

Like, so many people who don't know her are just gonna love her upon meeting her and just like find an enormous respect for her talent.

She sings, she dances, she acts, she does comedy.

Like, I hope she does it all.

Yeah, totally.

It's gonna be good.

Maybe the next story isn't one worth telling since we can't get to that.

No, tell it.

I'm ready.

I'm ready.

Brad Pitt has a new leading lady, Inez Duramone.

They've been together for a few months.

She is the ex-wife of vampire diaries star Paul Wellesley.

They separated earlier this year.

Yeah, so she's got great taste in men.

While Brad Pitt and Anesta Ramon were just spotted together for the first time at Bono's concert in L.A.

over the weekend, insiders say they've been getting to know each other for quite some time.

He being 58 and she is 32.

She's also a fine jewelry executive.

Have been dating for a few.

Oh, my wait, she's like so stunning.

She's like really classically beautiful.

Not like this Instagram model Thoughtlandia.

Like she has a real face and like a real nose.

She's a forehead

and she's quite stunning.

Like she's very striking.

And she has a real job.

I love, but you know, every time since Angelina, like Brad Pitt has been spotted with a woman, like remember that professor, that Israeli girl?

It's never like a model.

Like he's always looking.

I think he likes a good brain.

He does.

I feel like, well, at this point in his life, he is prioritizing conversations and people and stuff.

But I also think that because he's Brad Pitt, he gets the girls girls who are brainy and beautiful.

He doesn't have to choose.

He doesn't have to choose.

And I'm really happy for him.

And like, and this is kind of what I was saying.

Of course, it's different, but like when I was saying like Pete Davidson, like choosing Emrada, like it's so obvious.

You know, she's the hottest woman in the world.

And for me, like Pete, Brad Pitt, like choosing this rando, beautiful, like classically stunning, accomplished businesswoman, like different, like not celebrity, not model.

Like that's an inspired choice for me.

I just want to say like this week when i was saying like this feels uninspired about pete davidson this is an example of an inspired choice and this is not pitting women they're all great women i'm just saying yeah but i feel like that's what brad's been looking for i feel like we could have said that even when he was single like he's not

i think he wants someone who's like even though by the way

he was recently linked to emrata yeah but who said that Never confirmed.

Also, she is another one, brainy and beautiful.

Yeah.

But I think he's always been looking for someone who's industry adjacent, has their own thing going on, like someone who can teach him a thing or two.

Do you think Paul Wesley from Vampire Diaries like woke up today and he's like, oh my God, what the fuck?

My wife, ex-wife, is with Brad Pitt?

Yes, but if they're separated and divorcing, they probably hate each other.

And he's like, good luck to you.

No, this is going to add fuel to the fire.

Brad.

No,

yeah, totally.

But like, he's an actor.

I'm sure like every male actor looks up to Brad Pitt and then it's like your ex-wife is like, hang out.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's like when celebrities date lay people too.

At least Paul Wellesley is like, you know, he'll, he'll, he'll be fine.

But when celebrities date lay people and it's like the lay person's former ex, who's a fellow lay person,

is now dating Lady Gaga.

That's right, right.

That's, no, that's like inherently the problem with The Bachelor is that like they all become, it's lay people becoming unlay people, but their former lay partners are still laying

piece of the action yeah of course yes

anyways yeah happy for brad pitt and inex

no i like that too like she's honestly like i'm i'm she has a new fan like i think she's very beautiful and like i like yeah we should check out her jewelry

yeah what's it called no it's she's an executive so it's not her no but like she obviously like works for the company because she feels passionate about it and that it's good jewelry yeah i feel like she's probably like an execut like ticket tiffany or something if I had to guess.

Oh, no, I feel like it's

hold on, let me try and an indie brand.

Yeah, you know, like

jewelry.

Okay, she graduated from the University of Geneva with a bachelor's degree.

What?

The bachelor's degree in business administration.

Geneva is not Zenovia.

No.

How stupid do you think?

I don't know.

What were you about to say?

Geneva's like Switzerland, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So she's like a really like hoity toy.

Oh, wow.

According to her LinkedIn, she previously held roles in the jewelry department at Christie's and at a luxury Swiss jeweler, De Gros Sagano.

She now works as the head of wholesale for an LA-based brand, Anita Co.

Jewelry.

Oh,

that sounds like

what I would think.

Aside from the Christie's piece.

So she's fancy and smart and pretty.

Let me tell tell you, those women who work for Christie's,

I never saw a more fabulous bunch.

One of my friends, she works at Christie's, and I swear to God,

she's actually not like other girls.

She's fabulous.

My friend.

Caitlin, do you know her?

No.

I think you do.

I met her through Margot.

Not Ashre.

Okay.

Cool.

She's really like, she's something else.

And so I think that's, that's, I don't know what they're giving in the lunchroom at Christie's, but it's fabulosity on a platform.

The thing is, I think this is like a nature-burst nurture thing.

And I don't think it's what they're serving at Christie's.

I think it's who they're letting through the door.

I think Christie's does the vetting and finds those girls.

And then I think Brad Pitt goes to Christie's to look for something

to shop for some art and some art

and some art.

I got to get a job at Christie's.

You think they would let me in the door?

That would be the true test.

Yeah, like seriously.

I could do it.

I mean, I talk so fast.

Oh, I got a piece of art ready for 500, 500, 900, something in the video.

Oh, I got something today.

Oh, anyone got 1,000, 1,000, 1,000, I got 1200, 1200.

20,000.

So I think there's a difference between being an auctioneer and working at Christie's, but.

Oh, you're right, because it's very like this.

20,000?

Those are the clients.

Very civilized.

I think working.

It's civilized.

Working at Christie's, I feel like a few of the books that I've read have main characters who work at at Christie's or Sotheby's because it's a very

interesting job.

And it's a lot of like, yeah, actually.

It's a lot of knowledge about things like art, history, jewelry, fashion, whatever the category you're in is.

And then you like talk to clients and like explain why something is worth the value that it has.

Yeah, no, you're right.

I actually also read a book about a girl who was like dying to work at Christie's.

And she like conned her way into becoming friends with one of the Christie's girls.

And she like had the knowledge.

She was really smart, but she was just like a con woman.

It was a good book.

Yeah, I could see a con woman thriving at Christie's.

Anadelbee is perfection.

Okay, ready for our next story?

Your fave, Brendan Frazier, will be skipping the Golden Globes after accusing...

Because he's scrupled.

Because he scrupled.

I wrote Scrupled, and he had accused Philip Burke of sexual assault a few years ago.

He said in his GQ cover story that he will not participate in the award show after the former Hollywood Foreign Press Association president, Philip Burke, sexually assaulted him.

He said, quote, I have more history with the HFPA than I have respect for the HFPA.

It's because of the history that I have with them and my mother didn't raise a hypocrite.

You can call me a lot of things, but not that.

He had previously claimed in 2018 that Philip Burke sexually assaulted him during a luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel in 2003 and caused him to be blacklisted from Hollywood.

Now, even though Philip Burke is no longer at the HFPA, so you would think like, okay, maybe Brendan can come in.

There was no accountability.

There was no accountability.

They had even done an investigation when Brendan said what he said.

And they said, quote, although it was concluded that Mr.

Burke inappropriately touched Mr.

Frazier, the evidence supports that it was intended to be taken as a joke and not as a sexual advance.

I don't think it's a joke to put your finger up someone's butt.

Like, you're kidding, right?

No.

So that's, I think, like, why the beef runs so deep.

It's not just

about the institution.

The HFPA handled it and belittled what he experienced and still hasn't changed course

or even acknowledged like that's really painful.

And I I want to say like I think the world of Brendan Frazier and this article like I actually I actually could get emotional like I think you know Hollywood is like so

Like just full of people who'll do anything to get ahead and the fact that like he's had his comeback and he still won't he's not gonna like push his values or his trauma.

Like, he is gonna dig his heels in.

Like, at the top of his game, he's still gonna be talking about the injustice because it still hasn't been course corrected.

And I just love this man.

Like, I have so much respect for him, and I'm so, I'm so honored, like, to be a part of his comeback.

I really am.

So, are you gonna abstain from the Golden Globes in solidarity with Brendan?

I mean, I wasn't planning on watching because, like, genuinely, and I mean this like in a genuine way, like, who the fuck cares?

Um, and also, Brendan Frazier's not attending, not interested.

Um, I'll guess you don't just have to see where I am that evening, but I don't know.

I don't think I need to.

Would you take a stand with Brendan?

Sure, sure.

How about this?

I'm taking a stand with Brendan Frazier, and I encourage you all to do so.

Let's boycott the Golden Globes.

And I thought they were kicked off television for like not having enough money.

And not having enough interest.

They're back.

But also, it's like, okay, so even if it's Sunday night and you are looking for something to watch, you have to intentionally not watch the Globes to stand with Brendan.

Yeah, I'll read a book.

I'll get a snack.

I'll make a cake.

There's a million things.

I'm a very interesting

fan.

Sure.

Yum.

I stand with Brendan Frazier.

I'm assuming he's not going to win because...

He's out here dragging them to filth, which we love.

But I'm still holding out for an Oscar for Brandon.

Yeah, who cares about the Globes?

It's not even part of

that.

It's so true.

Like, nobody's

Irrelevant uglies.

Yeah.

Are we ready for our fifth and final story, which is a new trend amongst mamas and babies?

What is it?

Is it upsetting?

No.

Well, I mean, maybe.

It's really, really funny.

The Wall Street Journal just reported on it, but it's been like on Instagram and TikTok for a while.

And there's one account that really harnesses all of the sad beige content.

The Wall Street Journal says sad beige has taken over baby gear, clothing, and decor.

So

all of the baby gear these days, cribs, nurseries, if you look at, you know, Inspo, it's all beige.

And it's like, yeah, no baby's favorite color is beige.

And so true.

There's this Instagram and TikTok account that's like sad beige children, and they're sad beige toys for sad beige children.

Toys?

Oh, that's terrible.

Kids need color.

They're all going to end up colorblind if they're not exposed to many colors.

Yeah, but like you see these pictures of nurseries and they really look so gorgeous and so peaceful.

Right, but they're all beige and neutral.

They're all beige and neutral.

It's like kids like colors, primary colors.

I know they're not like aesthetically pleasing, but this.

No, but like the wackier the nursery, the happier.

You're more stimulated.

I think I was reading a bunch of quotes from people who think that like, you know, if you, your baby's in like a calm, beige environment, that they might just be calm and beige and listen to Mozart happily.

But no, babies like are babies as they've always been throughout time.

And now it's really.

stimulation.

It's really like beige is everywhere.

Market research shows that beige is picking up.

Baby Gap has a designated beige section.

A new line from Walmart, Easy Peasy, includes a lot of beige too.

According to Etsy, searches for beige kid clothes jumped 67% in the past 12 months compared with the previous period.

All right, well, let's test your beige meter, like how beige is Harry's room.

It's like so I want to talk about my experience with beige and babies.

A TikToker said, it seems to be marketing this fantasy that if I buy neutrals, my children will also be neutral, calm, and quiet.

But a pediatric psychologist said it's important to expose kids to learning colors and to help them with their visual perception.

Having variety is important for brain development.

So I think this is so interesting because so many of the like.

aesthetic nurseries that I see like really have so much beige and I actually buy a decent amount of beige for Harry.

I feel like it's my, it's the neutral that I go to in the same way when I'm looking for myself, I would buy like black or pink.

Like for Harry, I'm like, I want beige pay pen, beige chandelier, beige

rocking chair, beige curtains.

And now I'm like, oh my God, it's such a, it's a scheme.

And I'm just like another millennial mom who's falling into the trap.

No, you're not because, because you're not letting it like.

infiltrate Harry spends like his whole day in that playpen in the living room of like leisure price toys.

Right.

Also, the thing is, yes, I try to bring more beige into our world,

but I'm like an inherently colorful person.

And even though I try to, I'm trying to create like a neutral vibe in my house, like everything winds up colorful.

So his nursery is actually not, I don't, I actually can't think of a single beige item that's in there.

Try as I may, you know?

Yeah, no, like the big main pieces, like the rocking chair, the rug, the changing table, and the crib are like white beige, like normal.

But you got a big blue wallpaper.

You got toys everywhere.

It's beautiful.

It's beautiful.

But now I'm going to be aware of the fact that I was like subliminally being a follower of this like sad beige

toys for sad beige children trend.

No, that's actually so true.

Like now that I think about it, everyone I see on Instagram has like crazy ass.

Like, but you know, I went to Brian's nursery and his is like, it's like jungle themed.

It's actually, now that I think about it, it's a perfect combination of like being really pretty and aesthetic, but like hella colorful because it's jungle themed.

So like there's lion, there's like safari wallpaper, like animals everywhere, chalkboard.

And I did do quite a colorful drawing.

So it actually, it's perfect.

Yeah.

So I would just say like this, this was a wake-up call for me.

Thankfully, I'm not so, I hadn't fallen so deep into the sad-based trend, but I would have,

I would have, if no one like called out that I'm just being like marketed to as a millennial mom who's like.

just looking for a calm environment for myself, but that's not like what baby needs.

No, and what baby needs greater than what you need.

Yeah, especially in their room.

Like, go make your own sad beige.

Right.

Right.

And your room these days is like hello, totally

with your new wallpaper.

Harry comes in

while Harry is literally dying for some stimulation, some colors.

No, he comes in my room and looks at my wallpaper and he's like, oh my gosh.

I need so I actually am not done with his room and there will be no more beige

in there.

Good to know.

I'm going full primary colors, kids, fun,

playroom.

I think this was the first time that you told me about an internet channel.

Look it up.

I was watching her Instagram, Sad Base Children, but I think she's really big on TikTok, and it's fucking funny.

I will.

It's really, really funny.

Well, I thought those were some great, robust, dynamic stories.
