Good afternoon, millennials.

Welcome back to the Morning Toast Patreon.

This is such a special, exciting episode because I am sitting down/slash laying down with Olivia Ashre, our big sis, who just had her second Bebe.

We are all in bed chilling.

Claudia is here, but if you're wondering why you haven't heard her smooth sounds yet,

it's because she is holding baby Levi and so she can't really project because we don't want to wake him up.

So I'm sure she'll find a way to be heard during this episode, but she's restraining herself.

Was I silent or silenced?

I think just silenced.

Are you making merch with that?

Because that's literally the second time in 24 hours I've heard you say that again.

Oprah owns it.

It's from Oprah's Meghan Markle Sit Down.

No, no, I know, but like, did it?

You can't make merch with something like that.

I mean, people do stuff like that, but I think that's so fragile.

I think it is so.

I think it is so tacky.

I've seen people do that a lot recently, like popular quotes from music or TV TV and like selling it as their own merch.

I'm like, have you no scruples?

Like from TV shows?

Yes.

I guess, like, I guess I didn't realize that it's from Oprah, Megan, Markle.

I would not, because I think I would be annoyed if I saw somebody take like a toast quote and make merch off it.

So yeah, 100%.

I take it back.

Hi, Olivia.

Welcome.

Hi.

Thank you so much for having me.

I mean.

And thank you for coming into my bed, of which I haven't really left in the last week.

I really appreciate like having you come into my space, you know?

Of course, if you're going to podcast for us nine days after giving birth like we come to you 100% no I love that on-demand service yes so let's recap for everyone you gave birth to your second child a son named Levi Ashre Shapiro

on October 18th correct amundo 2022 and No one aside from your friends and family and coworkers knew that you were pregnant.

Correct.

But a lot of people did know, but you never like did an Instagram announcement or anything.

I never announced on social media and I just called it like the biggest open secret.

Like it wasn't really like a secret that I was pregnant.

It was just like not something that I was broadcasting on social media.

And it's funny because like obviously like I run into people at like Publix or otherwise.

And even like in the Patreon that we did at Publix, like I think if people go back and see, like I'm very deliberate in like how I'm in it because I'm like seven plus months pregnant in that video.

So it was just like, there's a lot of reasons why I chose to not broadcast my pregnancy, which I will of course share the reasons why.

And then I kind of just pulled a Kylie on everybody.

Like here I am.

Yeah.

So why did you choose not to post about your pregnancy?

Yeah.
