S4 Ep191: Bits on Bits: Tuesday, November 2nd, 2021

Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the Morning Toast.

Happy Tuesday post Toastaween.

We're still riding that high.

Hello, Ryan.

Oh, oops.

I mean, Jackie.

It's hard to tell the difference.

We're so sympatico.

And iratico.

And hypnotico.

But the Ryan energy is so underrated because he's really like, you know, he's like that loyal brother, but he's also a shit starter.

He's like very crafty.

Gaslighter.

And I really enjoyed my time as Ryan.

You know, I give it all to Toast and Will.

You do.

Once a year, every year, I leave it all on these couches with my method acting.

And it's not something that I have any desire to do more than once a year.

But I do love to give my all to the show.

And everybody loved the episode.

Everybody loved High School Musical 4.

They should definitely reboot that one.

Ryan and Sharpe start a podcast.

I feel very relieved.

Like, Halloween is like a big thing for us.

We always want to top the year before.

I feel so at peace with our decision to do Ryan and Sharpe.

You know, you never know what's going to play.

Uh-huh.

And I feel like this huge weight.

And now I really feel like we're in the holiday season.

Like, it's fucking freezing today.

And yesterday, like, I know everybody else was celebrating November 1st.

Like, Rachel Carcell got her tree up.

I watched her whole lives.

Mariah was smashing pumpkins.

But yesterday for me was still Halloween because we were in toast-a-ween mood because of like, you know, the scheduling.

And now today is my November 1st.

Like, I'm...

If we had trees, we would put them up today.

Bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, so excited for the holiday season.

I feel like I can really let it start to sink in.

And that's how you all probably felt yesterday.

And it's never too late to feel like it's November 1st.

Do you think that it's an appropriate time to start listening to the Jackie Ho-Ho-Ho playlist?

I do.

I would say November 1st is the appropriate time.

And actually, I know that I said I would be listening to Hallie Clarkson's album when it came out on October 15th, but I haven't listened yet because it just didn't start.

It wasn't the right time.

It wasn't the right time.

And you don't want to force these things.

No, no, no.

But now you can start.

Now I can start.

I need need to, you know, make a plan.

I want to, you know what I want to do?

Maybe this is part of like my nesting, and maybe I've graduated from Chili.

How many chilies can you make in one month?

I mean, I literally made a vat of chili and I was forced to eat it for lunch and dinner every single day.

I had it for dinner last night, too.

Like, it's like enough.

I had chili for lunch yesterday.

No, and like, it's a fun process, but like, then I have all this chili.

Totally.

And I have to eat it.

No, totally.

So I think I want to try and bake something.

That's good.

So I need to get like baking tins.

I don't have baking tins.

Even if it's just like peel and stick or whatever they call it.

No.

No.

I'm going to.

Scratchy O.

Scratchy O.

And you know what I'm in the mood to bake?

You're going to like yuck my yums, of course.

Carrot cake.

Carrot cake.

You're kidding.

That's sick and twisted.

So unsupportive.

Why would anyone put vegetables in a dessert?

Like, really?

I don't understand.

I guess if you didn't want to be supportive, then you would.

Oh, for sure.

Yeah, no, I'm not supportive at all.

Like, I was going to come over and eat your delicious treats, but not that.

Okay.

Well, that's.

Can you make like a, I don't know, like a pie or like literally anything else.

That's like the one pastry I refuse to eat.

I don't know.

I want to

also I don't fuck with banana bread.

I've never made a banana bread.

I just am having the itch for carrot cake to make carrot cake.

Like I don't want to make a pie necessarily.

Seems like a lot of you know cutting of apples.

I feel like okay fine.

Why don't you make like homemade cookies like from scratch?

You could just do slice and bake.

They're so delicious.

Okay, I just feel like there are other things you can make.

We'll take suggestions.

I'm feeling like so good about my decision.

So, Dew will come over.

You guys, Dew is here today.

I haven't seen him in so long.

I know.

He was literally yelping as we left the door.

Like, he knew exactly where he was going.

I couldn't even get his leash on.

He was like,

It's been a long few weeks for Dew, but now he's back in the saddle.

He's back to work.

He's going to help Yankee make a carrot cake.

And

that's, that's my plan.

You'll be fine.

Walk it off.

Oh, my God.

Choked up my own saliva.

I'm sorry, what were you saying?

I wasn't listening.

I was gasping for air.

Just talking about my excitement for my plans of making a carrot cake, nesting.

Now I'm kind of like, maybe I should bake something.

The great British bake-off.

Yeah, what are you going to bake?

Like something fattening and delicious.

Yeah, maybe make like a chocolate cake.

Or like maybe like, maybe that, like...

We would like layer, like a real cake.

No, sorry, I'm like excited.

Not just like

from the box in a pan.

Yeah.

No, like, I'd make two different cakes, layer them, frost them.

That's what the catter cake is.

But yes, for your cake.

Honestly, I just really don't feel like I can do any of this while I'm still in my apartment.

I can't explain it.

Like, and I have no plans to actually get out.

But you know, when you reach the end of your time in an apartment and you refuse to do anything, that's where I'm at.

I refuse to put my clothes away.

Olivia came over and she's like, what the fuck happened to your apartment?

And I'm like, it was...

No bueno.

It was outgrown.

Yeah, and she's like, everything's broken.

I'm like, I know.

Like, why would I fix it?

I don't plan on living here for much longer.

But you'll be living there for a long time.

You won't be seeing the snow by Christmas.

Stop.

I know.

Sparring some Christmas miracle.

You're going to be seeing the snow by Christmas.

I actually saw Brian last night and he was asking me.

And actually, seeing Brian's apartment, he just got a new place in the city, really invigorated my, he will not only see the snow, he will see it.

She's just like the girl who cried, new apartment.

So I think we're all just sort of

at the end of our road.

So I was telling Brian why I was having...

You're not a serious person.

By the way, I check, I look every day.

You're not a serious person.

No, but what Brian said to me, he's like, I told him exactly what I was looking for.

He was like, you literally need to double your rent.

And he's like, just do it.

I'm like, it's not about what you can spend.

It's about what you're willing to spend on rent.

Like, it's just, it's such silliness, you know?

Yes, it is because you're like flushing money down the drain.

You'll never get that money back.

But your home is also the most important part of your life.

So both arguments could be made.

I already thought my budget was way high.

And he was like, I was like embarrassed to tell him.

You're just not a serious girl.

Can you stop saying that?

Come back when you're serious.

I'm fucking serious.

Just because like I don't don't haven't found anything doesn't mean I'm not literally I spend every waking moment of my life on street easy okay I do I think I found a building I want to live in okay that's a good start yeah it seems reasonably priced there's not a lot of outdoor space but of all the things I'm will I want in my apartment that's one I'm willing to give up it's cold now like yeah I got all hot and excited during the warm warm months but you're never gonna use it ever ever because most people don't I had a balcony at my and you as a previous apartment won't yeah no never so I think you can say goodbye to that yeah no there's certain things of non-negotiable, but that's definitely one I could just toss aside.

Great.

That's progress.

That's getting serious.

By the way, I'm also willing to toss aside a second bedroom.

Like, that's how fucking nuts I am, okay?

Okay.

I'm serious.

I'm committed.

And I really am upset that you don't think I'm committed.

I need you to prove your commitment.

How?

By getting an apartment?

I would love to.

Yep.

No, I, okay.

You seem serious now.

You were really dilly dallying there.

Two days, I don't have COVID.

I'm like still choking from that experience, but I think I'm okay now.

Okay, let us know.

Keep us posted.

100%.

So we have a great show for you today.

We have Dear Toasters.

It's Tuesday.

We've got the stories.

Nothing was on TV last night for our show, but I did watch the new episode of Succession.

And after binge-watching everything,

it really is frustrating to watch them episodically.

I don't know if I'm going to go on because I'm not invested anymore.

Like, I'm just, you know, it was a good episode, though.

It was a good episode because Kendall was such a fucking idea.

Kendall was an embarrassment and absolutely love to see him getting his ass handed to him, but it's a bet of his own making.

Oh my god, I'm still

girly, girl.

I'm really sorry.

If you can just move my mic for one second so I can just like let it out.

Oh, let it out over there.

So if you watch Succession, I am still Team Logan.

Don't come for me.

I mean, you maybe if you had a fucking company that you built, you would know what it's like to run a company and not just try and steal one when you get a little bored.

No, Kendall is the biggest fucking loser of all time.

I cannot believe, not only are like there are people out there who are team Kendall, I'd say the majority of viewers are team Kendall.

i the 75 of my audience is team kendall which is shocking i did a poll yesterday too and it was similar results and i'm just like what because like you i i just can't like honestly like it's first of all lest we not forget spoiler alert

he's a murderer second of all he's just like such a loser like he's not even he's not innovative he's not smart he's not a killer he doesn't have instincts anytime he's ever fucked something up for the family it's because he had to go to someone to ask them what to do and he couldn't keep something private because he couldn't make the decision for himself.

He is not a leader.

He is nothing of the sort.

No, and he doesn't actually like want to make a change.

That's what Siobhan is like the one who I think has like the strongest moral compass and like she's the one who's just really going to do the thing that best serves society and like the victims and when she went to Kendall to be like you know we could really make a change from the inside like he doesn't care like that's not why he's doing this no and like he's not like a whistleblower for the right reasons in the beginning of the show when he talks about like his plans for the company in the five minutes where he had control and he talks about like all the lifeboats and how they're gonna be like disruptors and innovators, and he's using like all these buzzwords that don't mean anything.

I'm like, you are a phony.

He is Aussie media.

That's him.

That's him.

He has no real ideas, like nothing that generates income.

Like the one acquisition that he brought in was like such an epic failure.

No, it's a no for me, dog.

Totally.

We also have deer toasters today, which is just always an exciting day to give out delicious advice.

And the fast five.

And I think that's it, right?

No TV, no nothing else.

Nope.

Just Theo's presence radiating positive energy throughout all of our bones.

Yeah, happy to see the dew here.

And so I think without further ado, it is time for the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

Okay, our first story: a little young Hollywood flame has fizzled.

Outer bank stars Chase Stokes and Madeline Klein break up after one year together.

Page six can confirm that the couple has broken up.

Chase and Madeline are not together anymore, a source shared.

It's no secret among those who know them that they broke up.

A second insider revealed that things got rocky between Chase and Madeline in September, and they were openly talking to friends about the breakup in October.

Yes.

It's like if you're a sleuth, you've known this.

Yeah, they both star on Outer Banks, which up until now was a great show because the two main characters were in love on the show and in real life.

And now, like everything else, I expect the show to go downhill because John B and Sarah's

relationship, like love for each other is what holds the show together.

Otherwise, it's just two warring tribes, really.

And so, if we don't sense that deep connection anymore, the show, I'm sorry, it's not going to be the same.

No, you know what?

Like, this isn't good.

Like, not to be like a downer or a pessimist, but like the show will ultimately be affected by this.

But again, like, how many great seasons do you get out of a show?

You know, we got two really great seasons.

Maybe we should just be grateful for that.

And not that the show's going to end.

You know what?

Maybe they already filmed the third one before the breakup.

That would be great, but I don't think so.

It's possible because it's a very like summery show.

So I think they do have to film in the warm weather.

That is true.

And season two came out a while ago.

It was good.

Tish.

And they probably knew they were going to.

I think there's a chance.

So you're saying there's a chance?

There's a chance.

We got one more good season.

Well, so she has been like gallivanting, being a gal about town, going to like Paris Fashion Week.

I saw she was spotted like dancing with Ross Butler from

like everything teeny bopper.

So I think that's a cute couple.

I mean, it will be really interesting because, you know, those two got famous so fast and were dating each other the whole time.

So they've never been out in like the celebrity dating pool.

And there's so many fabulous young men and women in Hollywood for them to choose from.

And honestly, we could get down about this or we could also get excited about the prospective partners of both of them.

They're both so good looking, so famous, young Hollywood.

No, that is exciting.

I just feel like they were a couple that it's like that I get more excited about them as a couple than their potential ships that they could sail off into because, you know, they could wind up with people we don't know.

People we don't like.

People we don't know for sure.

You know?

That's worse.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, so I mean, we'll see.

Like, I mean, I don't watch anymore, but the thing that feels most similar to me is like Betty and Jughead.

Like, are they still dating?

Once they broke up in real life, were they still dating on Riverdale?

I haven't watched the new season yet because it's so fucking spooky.

I will let you know.

Okay, because like that's interesting to me.

I think that they have to still be dating on Riverdale.

The show really doesn't work without Bughead because the writers made the decision that Bughead was going to be endgame for the show.

Not Betty and Archie, not even Varchie.

Like, it's going to be Bughead.

You can't go back on that five seasons later.

So, like, I'm just trying to think, like, in, like, in recent history, like, what other shows, I mean, high school musical, the the musical the series also comes to mind but they did stay together dating in the show while also not being together in real life olivia rodrigo and joshua bassett and also and there's weirdness you could feel it the show is like not that big of a deal right so i think it'll be very interesting to see what happens hope like if they really did break up amicably i don't know how amicable amicably you could break up with someone when you have to like go to work and kiss them like it's weird it's so weird hollywood is such a weird place when stuff like that happens and you know what i always think about do you remember that guy from desperate housewives who played edie's Edie's husband, Dave?

He had like the icy blue eyes.

He's like this random soap actor and he will not kiss women.

Like that's why he's like not that famous.

He's only gotten so many roles where people have agreed to not let him, not make him kiss his fellow actors or actresses because he's married and I think he's like kind of religious and he our son went out.

Oh my god.

No, he like doesn't want to, because it is like a weird, it's a weird situation when you're married and then you go to set and you're kissing other, other people, most actors and actresses just do it, but he he had drew a line in the sand and said that he wouldn't, which I really respect.

But I was watching the Britney Murphy documentary and like her whole career is like rom-coms, et cetera.

And one of the last movies that she did, her husband, Crazy Pants,

wouldn't let her kiss anyone on set.

And like when she got the part, that was obviously part of the part.

And then she like told the director, no, I'm not going to be kissing this actor.

She gave him a long hug or something.

And the director then went to Crazy Pants' husband and was like, we're going to recast it.

You guys continue this nonsense.

So Crazy Pants allowed it.

So obviously, like you would never want your husband to like not tell you to do something.

But if it's a personal choice, I think it's a nice choice to make.

Yeah, of course, of course.

But when I hear people in Hollywood like talk about it, because they get asked all the time, like, it's a very natural question.

Like, you're in a loving relationship and you're literally filming like naked titty sex scenes.

Like, is it not weird?

Is it not cheating?

And every response I've heard from celebrities, like, they normalize it so much.

And I guess if you do it enough, it does become normalized.

But I'm sorry.

Like, there are just some things that are not normal.

And that's one of them.

Like, literally consistently making out with the same person, you're on a soap opera, you know what I'm saying?

And then, literally, going home and having sex with your husband.

Like, sorry, there's something weird about it.

I agree.

I agree.

They're going to tell you it's not weird, but it's just weird.

And there's also this new thing where, like, in more like art films during sex scenes, the people will actually have sex just to really get

it's very, very, very rare and it's very niche art.

I could see it becoming more popular in Hollywood.

And I'm just saying, like, things are fucking weird.

Most sex scenes, like, they're wearing bits on their bits, and it's like, you know, it's more mechanical.

It's more of like a a staged thing but still like your bits are on their bits like it's bitsy central it's bitsy von muffling it's bit on bit crying it's nuts okay

yes i guess it's like hopefully they don't have too many bits in outer bangs where they got to be bits on bits oh totally but it's not really that raunchy of a show it's for kids um it the relationship is steamy yeah but we've never seen them have sex like we haven't no Okay, that's that's good.

Never.

Yeah, it's like really a kids show with a lot of violence.

Yeah, and like a lot of storylines that don't fucking make sense.

And a lot of people acted like morons.

Morons.

Are you ready for our next story?

Really just wanting to take one moment to acknowledge I'm very sad about this couple.

Like,

yeah, me too.

They were like so cute and they seemed so in love.

So it's sad.

On to the next.

No, and you know what?

It really makes you think, it really makes you think, like, you shouldn't date your co-stars.

Or at least until like after the show.

No, you know what?

I think, yes, obviously this is a possibility.

You go two seasons hot and heavy and then the breakup is gut-wrenching.

But it's worth it for, I think, like the time that they must have had together, getting famous together, on this show together, playing romantic partners in real life.

They went to the Bahamas.

I think that that was probably like an amazing two years that you can't, you know.

You have to live.

You can't let the fear of heartbreak stop you from following your heart.

But when you think about like the greatest shows, like most successful, there was none of that.

Like nobody on Friends dated, nobody on Gossip Girl dated, like nobody on.

Serena and Dan dated in life?

Yeah.

Okay.

For a very long time.

Okay, so nothing.

OC, Summer, and Seth dated.

Yeah, but like the OC.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, it's the opposite.

No, I don't think it's the opposite.

I think that there's something to not, like, I think Riverdale like is trash.

That's just because you don't like the show.

No, but like ever since like all of that fizzled out, it's like trash.

All of what fizzled out?

Bughead.

You stopped watching a long time.

before that for sure but i just think like i think there's a weirdness that you can sense and like i think it does i think it does like affect overall shows like not even that one specific example i think that for sure so it's okay for movies but not for shows yeah movies end like shows go off

a

series of movies that's a difficult that's a different question i mean were

Kristen Stewart and Edward together for all five movies?

I think so.

Because that's like the perfect example of like it working out

for the best.

And most of the time, it's probably not going to work out, but I think it's worth it for those moments of magic.

You can't just say, you can't just live in fear, Claude.

No, of course not, but I'm just talking about like

a TV watcher.

Would it be best if like everyone you just let sleeping dogs lie?

No, as a TV watcher, it's worth it for the good times.

And then, yeah, you know, but all shows get bad no matter what happens in the relationship.

That's also true.

So at least we had those special moments.

I'm really here for it.

And for these kids, like this was a lot once in a lifetime.

You know, I'm sure they'll be telling their grandkids about this time in their life.

You know what show had like a lot of weird shit going on?

I mean, obviously, and still to this day, like glee.

People were dating.

There was also just like weird shit going around on that show, like in general, outside of the relationships.

Yeah.

So

I think I stand by, I really do stand by my statement.

Like, please don't take your co-stars.

But I agree, like, it is this like once in a lifetime, like,

thing.

And I stand by my statement.

And I'm happy for them.

I'm happy for them for the time that they had.

Don't be sad that's over.

Smile because it happened, Madeline and Chase.

I'm just like trying to think of one example where like a couple stayed together the whole show, you know?

Mm-hmm.

But I can't.

We'll figure it out.

Someone will let us know.

Okay, next story.

Cardi B will be hosting the 2021 American Music Awards, and she is so excited.

On Tuesday, the rapper was announced as the host of the upcoming AMAs producers and ABC confirmed in a statement shared with people.

She said, when I received the invite to host the AMAs, I was so excited.

I'm ready to bring my personality to the AMAs stage.

I think that she'll be great.

Yeah, me too.

She's very funny, very personable.

The AMAs are not like a serious award show in terms of like no one like, oh, I won an AMA.

Like, exactly, the Grammys.

So it's all just like a fun

thing.

And she's going to be.

excellent at it.

It reminds me of like Kelly Clarkson hosting the two board awards.

It's like a good award show.

It's a great place to, you know, see if you got the chops.

And I think Cardi will have the chops.

That's why I'm

here for this.

She's a star.

She earn three.

But she also has such a great personality that I think it's going to radiate.

I think this is a really, really strong choice.

It's just crazy that, like, she probably is among the most nominated.

And she's also working the room.

So, this is what I was going to say, and I would love to hear your take on this.

Do you think it's a step down for like a celebrity

to host?

Like, I was always under the impression that the host is always less famous than the people in the room, the nominees.

But that hasn't been the case as of recent.

Like, Jojo Cat hosted the BMAs, obviously, Kelly Clarkson.

So, I don't know.

It's like this weird new thing i don't know if i like it i don't know if i like it either and it is weird when it's like you're supposed to be the person that's celebrated and you're hosting it's not a step down if like you're very much choosing like cardi there's no question it's not like she's gonna have to climb like this just seems like a fun project for her so in that light it's not sad yeah but it is weird don't you think i like i prefer the days when like comedians or people on the up or on the down would take the job and like they're significantly less famous than the people they're they're discussing.

Yeah, but Cardi B is going to be like introducing and just talking about her peers, right?

But that also makes it fun.

It's

cool.

I'm not, I'm not here for it.

I don't think I'm here for it.

But the idea that like these celebrities are just taking over the hosting jobs when it's like there are hosts, there are comedians, there are people who are like, this is their job.

Right, well, that's the other thing.

It's like, I feel like we talk about that a long time.

Like, if you're a trained host or like you go to school for journalism, like you want to be an on-air correspondent, like the eligible jobs for you are just getting fewer and fewer because they're really being taken by influencers, celebrities, people who don't have traditional hosting experience or training.

Yeah, I wouldn't even be offended by influencers doing it because some influencers, like, it's their dream too to be Juliana, you know?

No, not offended.

I'm just, I'm just, it's interesting to point out that like the job, like when I was in communications classes, like every girl, like, what's your dream job?

The next Juliana rancic.

Everyone.

And now it's like, good luck.

Yeah.

Whatever happened to Laverne Cox?

She was doing.

She was the next Juliana, right?

Yeah, but Red Carpenter Season hasn't started.

I feel like we report on that a long time ago, no?

We reported on it like at the end of last Red Carpet Season, and now it hasn't.

Like it comes back in January, February.

So we'll see her then.

Cool.

Are you excited?

For Laverne?

Oh, yeah.

I don't really like...

I like watching red carpet shows,

but I don't really notice the interviewers.

And actually, I think that's good.

They're not meant to be noticed.

They're not meant to to be noticed.

So we'll see how Laverne does.

Yes.

Okay, next story: a little bravo lebrity romance news.

Summerhouse stars Carl and Lindsay are sparking dating rumors.

I mean, this is just weird because, like, if you're watching the show now, it's like, who?

She's like obsessed with Austin.

Yeah, Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radfield had fans in a Tizzy on social media over the weekend after posting an intimate Halloween photo dressed as Baby and Johnny Castle from Dirty Dancing.

They held each other close while mimicking the iconic movie poster.

So there's like like

whispers that these two are dating.

I don't, I saw a video of someone from Entertainment Tonight like fully asking them and they like, they said like, no, we don't have anything to say, but like they're obviously dating.

Okay, I don't know the history.

I don't think there is, I mean, I don't know the history.

Did they ever date on Summerhouse?

No.

But I think people have just been like rooting for them like quietly.

Like she's, she's, okay, you know what?

I actually, when I was watching Winter House, I had this thought.

She's like the type of girl who says like she's not like other girls.

Like she loves hanging out with the guys.

Like her guys guys are her best friends And so she's really been best friends with really every guy forever and that includes Carl but Carl's in this like new place

He's sober.

You know his brother passed away last season.

He's been through a lot and he's in this like new I think really fresh good headspace and the thing with Lindsay and I I actually really like her when I first started watching a show I didn't get her.

She's a lot and I fully get her now and I think she's hilarious, but I don't know if she's the best person for Carl right now because she's still this like crazy gal.

I mean, you see her on Winter House.

She loves to drink.

And that's why we love her and she's hilarious.

I don't know if it's the best match for him in the current headspace that he's in.

Interesting.

Interesting.

Do you think like she could be in a different headspace than where she was on Winter House?

Of course.

We never know.

Yeah, because it was filmed.

A while ago.

Yeah.

So, I don't know.

I mean, I think it's really interesting.

I think it's great for the show.

I think with the absence of Vanner Pump rules, I think Summerhouse is really turning into like the young show on Bravo.

And I think what they're doing with Winterhouse is great.

I think all of them dating within their group is only even better for the show.

Yeah.

All rise, ships, think tides.

Yeah, agreed.

Okay, so we ship.

I need to know more.

I do.

But also, I don't know these people personally.

Like, sometimes when we talk about reality stars, like I know them in real life, I don't know these two at all.

I've met Carl.

I don't think I've met Lindsay.

But you know what?

I'm cautiously optimistic.

Okay, cool.

So maybe like a little canoe that might take us, like maybe

what's it called?

The The boat that takes the dinghy.

No, there's a more official name.

Fricker.

The boat that takes you to a yacht?

Yeah.

A dinghy.

No.

Okay, hold on.

What's the name of the segment

that takes you to the yacht?

Tender.

Tender.

And by the way, it didn't even come up.

I just remembered it.

Yes.

From Below Deck.

Exactly.

I hear that that...

And you probably wouldn't know him, but the captain from the very first season of Below Deck, I think his name was Mark.

He passed away.

I saw that.

Next story, our queen, Jessica Simpson, is celebrating four years of sobriety with a candid photo showing an unrecognized, unrecognizable version of herself.

So on Monday, Jessica Simpson shared a photo of herself from four years ago, her first day without alcohol, and detailed the way she felt the day she decided to begin her sobriety journey.

Now, if you read her book, then you are familiar with this day because you are.

It's where the books, it's the center of the book.

It's the center of the book.

You know, she goes to the kids' school thing, and with the

triggered.

Yeah, and so you know where she was at.

And she said, This person in the early morning on November 1st, 2017 is a recognizable version of myself.

I had so much self-discovery to unlock and explore.

I knew in this very moment, I would allow myself to take back my light, show victory over my internal battle of self-respect, and brave this world with piercing clarity.

It was really like a heartbreaking post and that picture.

I mean,

when you read the book, basically the whole book starts at this day, the day she decided to get sober, and then she goes back in time and forward in time.

But the main kind of hook of the book is this day.

And you picture it in your head, of course, when you're reading the book.

And to be honest, that's exactly what I pictured it looking like.

Yeah, no, me too.

I can't believe it's been four years.

That's amazing.

I'm so happy that she's like

still in this wonderful place.

And I just want to use this as a reminder.

If you haven't read her book yet, you absolutely have to.

Absolutely have to.

One of my biggest regrets is rushing through it because it was just like so big and long and I wanted to talk to you about it.

And I remember just like rushing through the end.

Take your time.

It's a long book.

So like, you don't have to read it all in one sitting.

It's so good.

It's full of so much.

First of all, if you love pop culture, there's so many John Mayer, Nicolas Shea, A-list celebrity stuff.

That's just like gorgeous.

But it's also this like really honest and like deep book about trauma.

Her childhood is so interesting.

Honestly, when celebrities write about their childhood, like sometimes I skip right through it.

Oh my god, she grew up in like the Bible Belt.

She had these crazy stories about her dad's church.

Like it was really good.

Like I loved every part of it.

The John Mayer stuff and the Bible Belt stuff.

Yeah, I loved every part of it.

I read it in like one or two sittings and I loved it.

Crazy.

But I loved reading it that way.

Like I couldn't put it down.

Like I was so immersed in it.

Yeah.

And

it was a very long and like, it's a very well-written book.

So it's not like something you just breeze through.

It's like every page is

there's a lot of meat to it, but it was so, so good.

And I would say before her book came out, I wouldn't have called myself like a Jessica Simpson stand.

She was just like, you know, one of the pop stars.

So she's my birthday buddy, so I probably don't know.

Right, you had a different connection, but you don't have to have a pre-existing connection with her.

You will feel connected through her journey.

And I just want to say, I often think about how like one of the pivotal

moments of her career was a chili cook-off.

Yes, but in a really negative way.

No, no, in a very negative way, but like chili was there for her.

Yeah, no, that's true.

And she talks about that moment.

I'm sure you guys have all, you know, what's so funny?

It's like you remember certain things.

So, like, there was this picture of her wearing these high-waisted jeans.

She had gained a little bit of weight, and they plattered it everywhere, like, big fat girl, chili cook-off.

They were so fucking mean to her.

And you remember, and you're like, oh, yeah, she was, like, big.

And then I remember, like, after I read the book, I went and looked at the picture.

I'm like, she's so normal looking.

Like, it's not, it's so crazy how you remember things and how everything was sensationalized.

And she was a part of that group.

Like, we're seeing it play out with britney and those young uh mickey mouse club mousca mousca mickey mouse how like they were all just like pitted against each other and i thought one of the most interesting parts of the book is like how jessica simpson during her time as like a pop star compared herself to the Britneys and the Christinas and like had to do things differently because they were all like the same.

They came from similar backgrounds.

They were all blonde.

They were all pop stars.

It's really such a good book and I loved it.

Loved.

So that's your daily reminder.

Oh, and you know, we didn't talk about yesterday how when Andy went on the Today Show to announce the Real Housewives of Dubai, he was actually doing press.

He has a new book coming out, but it's not like one of his Andy Cohen diaries.

It's the quotes.

Yeah, it's quotes from, it's like 100 quotes, 365 days for 365 quotes of woman I love or whatever.

I'm good.

Yeah, I

loved Andy's books.

Like all three of them are on my top, I gave them all five stars.

I would have loved another book.

Yeah, no, this is not that.

No, this is like a coffee table book.

Yeah, for like real house, like true, true real house size fans.

But it's not coffee table book-sized.

It's kind of lethal.

Oh, so it's like,

they sell it like urban outfitters.

I saw it on Watch What Happens Live.

No, but you could have books on your coffee table or like display books that aren't massive as Suline books.

Yeah.

I don't know if I'm going to get this one.

Yeah.

Are you ready for our fifth and final story?

Yes.

It's the final story.

is the final story

for the morning tour.

That actually just reminded me, I spent, I was so busy yesterday, like writing out so much material for my show, tickets available at girlhnodrop.com/slash tour, and working on a project that I think I can just tell everyone.

Like, I have a new song coming out pretty soon.

So when?

I don't know yet but soon and it's so good like it's just we really leveled up this time like i'm really excited everyone's gonna love it obviously it's like riddled with toast inside jokes and it's so good and i'm really proud of it so it's so exciting have you recorded it no so it's just been completely written and like built out and i'm recording it next week so i'm really excited exciting are you recording it here in new york no i'm oh in new york yes i think you meant in this studio no not unless you want the jackhammer on the ones and twos you know it sounds pretty good um no like a full-fledged studio.

In New York.

But last time, like, you had to go to LA.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I am going to LA next week for a wedding.

So maybe you'll hit up the studio there.

I asked the producers, I'm like, is it easier?

They're like, it doesn't matter because with COVID, everyone recorded songs remotely.

That it's actually easier to record a song remotely with a producer in your ear.

That's what I'll be doing.

Okay, cool.

Yeah.

Very exciting.

Well, our fifth story is some more epic music news that everybody's looking forward to.

The track list for Adele's album 30 is here, and it includes a duet with Chris Stapleton.

Chris Tapleton is having the year of collaborations.

Literally, the two biggest albums of the year are coming out like this and next week, Adele and Taylor Swift, and they both have Chris Tapleton on them.

Yeah, okay, so here are the names of the songs, which just like, if it were anyone else, I wouldn't care, but because it's Adele, I just need every nugget.

Or I guess if it was Taylor Swift, you would care.

Yeah, of course.

Yeah, and if it was Kelly Clarkson, I would care.

For sure.

We actually did this for Kelly Clarkson.

We went song by song.

And we did it for Taylor Swift.

Okay, cool.

When she did love her.

At least we're consistent.

Yeah.

One, Strangers by Nature.

Ooh, Ooh, that sounds like a

stranger's banning.

You know, you tell me the song lyric and I'll tell you what I think it sounds like.

Okay.

And then, and then in a week, we'll go back and listen, okay?

Okay, too, easy on me, obviously.

Let me think.

I think it'll probably sound like, you know,

easy

on me, baby.

Just a guess.

I don't think so.

That doesn't sound like her.

Three, my little love.

Little love, love,

love bug, yeah.

Something like that.

Cool.

Four, cry your heart out.

Cry your heart out.

That was good.

Five, oh my god.

Ooh, that's tough.

Oh my god.

Oh my god, oh my god.

Got you guys.

That's it for sure.

Six, can I get it?

Okay, I think it would be like, no, actually, I can't.

I can't see this one in my head.

You know, I'm a very visual person.

I can't see it.

Seven, I drink wine.

Oh, I could see it being like a very British book.

Like, I drink wine, wine, wine, wine.

Something like that.

Yeah.

Very Amy Winehouse vibes.

Okay.

That's what that was, by the way.

Amy Winehouse.

Yeah, no, you guys, so that was still closer.

Don't get it twisted.

We didn't just cut to Amy Winehouse.

Eight, all-night parking with Errol Garner interlude.

Okay, so.

I don't even know what any of that means.

I think it means no lyrics.

It's an interlude.

Oh.

That's cool.

So you're off.

You can get this one off.

Oh, like, oh, wait, all instruments?

Oh, yeah.

That's probably what it sounds like.

Nine, woman like me, not to be confused with the Little Mix song.

No, but by the way, that sounds like it's going to be the best song on the album.

I'm a woman.

No, no, no.

A woman like me.

Yeah.

That's what I think.

And I hope someone doesn't mash up with woman like me.

Are you following at all any of this little mix drama?

Because I'm on Little Mix Talk.

So I was following yet.

It's crazy.

It is crazy.

It's kind of quieted down.

Yes, it was like two weeks, or maybe a week or two ago.

The girls obviously broke up.

Jesse Nelson released.

Every time I talk about Little Mix drama, like everyone comments like, who?

What?

Yeah.

So I was like, okay.

Hey, let's educate the people.

Okay, so Little Mix is the most epic girl band on the planet right now.

Yeah, they really are.

They're literally the best band ever.

They're so great.

They're from X Factor.

They're from X Factor.

There were four girls.

We have Perry, Leanne, Jade, Jade, and Jesse.

A year ago, you might remember when you commented who on our posts that Jesse left the band.

And Claudia will tell you she saw it coming.

I did.

The other three seemed to be coming.

I did see it.

Don't frisk breeze past that.

I did see it coming.

Okay, but that's not the point.

We have to get to the point.

The other three seemed to have like a really great sisterhood.

Two of them were pregnant at the same time.

Two of them just gave birth.

And so the other three carried forward without Jesse.

They never looked back.

It was giving very much Zane energy.

Like the band was unaffected by the departure.

Yes, and also just a fun fact, Perry and Zane did used to date for a very long time.

Right before he started dating Gigi.

And that's just something that you should know.

Yeah, no, that was actually like, but it's not Jermaine.

She was the biggest girl band on X Factor UK and then in the UK.

He was the biggest boy band, X Factor UK, and then in the UK, and then they were dating, and it was actually like perfect.

Yeah, but it's not the big, it's not Jermaine to the story.

No.

Just a fun fact.

So then.

So the three girls are Little Mix.

They've put out an album since.

They're not letting this slow them down, nor are they letting Pregnance.

They're doing the fucking most.

And they even have like a new album coming out out that's like I think it's been how like 10 years of little mix or something and the album is like old hits new hits greatest hits it's so fucking good so but by the way part there were a lot of rumors when she left and before she left that there was a big divide between Jesse the girl who left and Leanne who is the one woman of color in the group okay and Jesse had been accused a lot of times on social media of blackfishing of appropriating black culture and apparently they had you know spoken about it within the group and they really kind of tried to speak to Jesse in a

polite and calm manner about this whole thing and Jesse was like having none of it.

So then her new song, she just released her first single.

Yes.

Bad, Bad Boy.

Nikki Minaj is on it.

Yes, it's Jesse Nelson, her first single, and the music video came out and it was kind of like everything that people had been upset with about Jesse Nelson about coming to fruition in this music video.

Like it's very

provocative in the sense where she's, you know, really dressing, acting, looking like she's blackfishing.

And so it just kind of blew up on social media, especially on TikTok.

That's where I learned about everything.

And it's like,

I didn't know it was such a big story on TikTok.

Oh, because I like was seeing it because I'm a Little Mix fan, but it wasn't everywhere.

No, Little Mix Talk, like, it's everywhere.

I've seen the whole music video.

That sounds better than Little Mix Talk.

It's so good.

And now they're doing like performances, like comparing with Jesse without like how much better it is without Jesse.

Like the Little Mix fans are shitty as fuck.

And it's really like been a wild story.

Back to the story, though.

So then the the girls who are still in Little Mix, like unfollowed Jesse.

Then Jesse and Nikki Minaj.

Nikki Minaj has had Jesse's back through this.

Through and through.

They went on live together.

Yeah, there were tweets.

And Nikki was just like going after Leanne, who is the woman of color in Little Mix.

And it was actually like really not cool of Nikki Minaj.

I didn't like that.

They were being mean to Leanne.

Because

wherever you land on this, Leanne's a really nice girl.

She's a PJO.

She is.

Precious gem of woman.

She's a precious gem of woman.

She's a P Jalum.

Precious Gem of Women.

Little Mix.

So it's just been like this crazy thing.

Because when she broke broke up, when she left the band, it wasn't like the biggest thing.

It wasn't contentious.

They were like Jesse.

And she was citing like mental health concerns and like that the band was no longer good for her mindset.

And all the women were like, so bad Jesse.

Yeah.

The fans were supportive.

We were like, as long as this means continued little mix, you won't hear peep.

So like when a person leaves a girl band, like it's either destructive, Camilla Cabello, or not Zane and Jesse.

Like you can always tell when the person's leaving if it's going to ruin the band.

Zane was like 50-50 because Zane was like a lot of people's favorites.

but the band, I think, was better without him.

Yeah, um, Camilla, obviously, like, there was gonna be no Fifth Harmony without Camilla, um, but Jesse, I think, I think we could have predicted that the band would remain intact, yeah, if not better.

Sometimes you get better when you trim the fat, yeah, and also, like, if you don't want to be here,

we don't want you, yeah, yeah, we only want people who are interested in Little Mix, like right.

So, if I, if I think if Perry or Leanne left, it would have been destructive, yes, yes.

So, that's the latest on Little Mix.

Yeah.

10, hold on.

Oh, we're still doing this.

Hold on.

No, that was very giving me very much Broadway.

That was giving me like Hodor.

Don't be rude.

Hodor?

Don't be rude.

That was that rude.

I think it was more Broadway.

It was very Adina Menzel.

It was my lower register, and it was really hard to do.

11.

To be loved.

Oh,

to be loved.

I'm thinking very like, you know,

Tony Bennett.

Okay.

12, love is a game.

Love is a game.

I don't know.

I'm just making shit up at this point, but I mean, what were you doing at the beginning?

No, at the beginning, I was really kind of like connecting with my internal musical spirit.

Okay.

I'm just making shit up.

Bonus tracks.

Bonus tracks.

Wild, Wild West.

Ooh, that sounds good.

Sounds so good.

Yeah.

Can't be together.

I'm done guessing, by the way.

Okay, and that's fine.

And then the last one is Easy on Me with Chris Stapleton.

Oh, you're lying.

Rise, everyone.

Oh, I didn't realize that's where he was.

Everyone.

Also, I'm sure you saw that

the special, Adele's, like, One Night Only, is being filmed at the Griffith Observatory.

So not Kensington Palace.

And I can't even tell you, like, how disappointed I am.

I'm sorry, but it's not my fault.

Like, it was a really good guess.

Something was filmed at Kensington Palace.

People are saying it's Taylor Swift now.

I'm just saying.

That's what people on the internet are saying, so listen to none of it.

I just, like, I,

even if this special is like the best thing I've ever seen, like it won't be good enough because it wasn't what I thought I hoped.

But I am very much looking forward to it,

I guess.

But still, like the disappointment.

I had no expectations before, and

it's a lot.

So, yeah, he's on Easy on Me, so we already know what that song sounds like, so it'll be cool to hear a different version.

And with the red re-recording, obviously, we know the song's on red already, but there are bonus tracks that she's never released.

And Chris Stapleton is on one of the bonus tracks, so we don't know what song is, what it's going to sound like.

Interesting.

We know Easy on Me already.

Very, very cool.

Easy on Me is aging gorgeously.

Like, it's just getting better and better with every listen.

This is going to be a great month for music, everyone.

Yeah.

Both holiday and non-holiday.

Holiday and miscellaneous.

And I think we have a lot to look forward to.

Yeah, especially because we're about to do Dear Toasters, which is our advice segment, you guys.

Are you okay?

I just snuck off really quickly because I have my glucose test.

Oh, diabetes?

Yeah, pregnancy.

And I have my drink with me, like the sugar drink that you have to drink, but it needs to be refrigerated.

And I just remembered.

When's the test?

After this.

I drink it like when we wrap, and then an hour later, I get the test.

What is it, like a needle?

Blood.

But you have to drink like this sugary drink that should be chilled, but I forgot to chill it.

Are Are you going by yourself?

Yeah, on the wrong time.

You want to have time with you?

Yeah.

What time?

One.

Okay, I have a call at one.

I'm with it.

Okay.

Should we get lunch first?

No, I can't eat.

No.

You're lying.

No, I can't eat for an hour.

I don't think I can come.

Okay.

Hey, Claude and Jack.

Hope you guys had a spooky Halloween.

It was so spooky.

It was.

It was beyond spooky.

I wanted to write in about this very first, very first world problem I've encountered.

I want to preface this by saying I've never been one to split.

I've never been one to split a plate at dinner or swap clothes with my girlfriends or sister.

So, what I'm about to tell you guys is very triggering for me.

Okay.

One of the wives, okay, a month ago, sorry, I'm like having a hard time reading and swinging.

A month ago, we got a party bus for my husband's birthday.

One of the wives got soaked on the bus, I'm assuming from spilled beer.

But it was never disclosed.

Just soaked was like a new word for drunk.

Drunk, yeah.

But it was never disclosed what the wetness was from.

She could have peed her pants for all we know.

The couple lived five minutes from us, and rather than going home, it was nearly 1 a.m., they wanted to continue hanging out with us.

So this wife wife demanded i give her some pants to wear so i found some spandex workout shorts for her to wear they stayed too long ended up getting in a huge fight with each other and leaving

without her shoes lol this girl got into an uber without her shoes The next morning, they had to pick up their car and the shoes and didn't bring my shorts back, which I was thankful for.

Like, please wash them before you bring them back.

But here we are a month later and still no shorts.

Her husband and my husband are very close and they see each other every week.

She and I are not close and I only see her on holidays and outings.

What does one do?

Her husband literally comes to my house every week.

She didn't want to send them over with him anytime this past month.

I can't help but wonder, where are my shorts?

Is she regularly wearing them as if they are her own?

Are they being stashed in a drawer somewhere?

Have you girls ever encountered something like this?

Will I ever see these shorts again?

It's not even shorts season anymore, so I feel like I would come off petty if I just texted her and was like, hey, can I have my shorts back?

Clearly, I am not wearing them anytime soon, but truly, where are they?

Sincerely, a shortless toaster.

Okay, I mean, if this were me, I really can't relate because if she had like unidentified liquid all over her and she borrowed my shorts like and she was borrowing anything I would have given her something that I actually didn't want back something I'd been looking to get rid of so I wouldn't have to go hounding her down even when I let people borrow stuff like like I never would give away like my nicest things if you come to my house and like you need a sweatshirt and you leave with it I am assuming I'm not getting it back, especially if it's like a crotchety pair of biker shorts.

Like, please keep your crotchets and leave.

She had those unidentified fluids on them.

Plus, I just want to say she is obviously very drunk.

There's a chance she got home shoeless, woke up the next morning in these shorts, no shoes, has no idea where these shorts are from, and is just moving on with her life.

Yeah, I think we need to, you in particular, need to part ways with the shorts.

And it's a lesson.

Like if someone's ever at your house, you offer them up a sweatshirt, shorts, anything, like you are giving someone something, and at least this is how I perceive it, without the intention of getting it back.

Yeah.

I'm giving it to you permanently.

Like, it's yours now.

Yeah.

I mean, you could, if you really want them back, you could ask for them back.

I just wouldn't want them back.

Like, are you dying for them?

Can you just get another pair?

Like, what would you really wear and spandex shorts, you know, that touches a lot of

material?

It goes in places and stuff.

And I, would you really wear them again?

Like, is it worth asking for them back?

Honestly, I think sharing biker shorts is like sharing underwear.

Just I totally agree.

Do you even know if she was wearing underwear?

Such a good question.

She was so drunk.

Maybe she should.

If she was soaked, wouldn't she have taken off her underwear?

You could run a pair of underwear through washing machines six times, and I still wouldn't put them them on if somebody else had put them on.

Yeah.

Yeah.

There's just some things that we don't touch.

Yes.

We don't share.

Maybe this perspective will like make you realize like you don't even want them back.

That's what I'm hoping for.

If you still want them back because of the principal, because you're not a sharer, which I also understand.

Send a text.

Yeah, just ask for them back.

There's a chance she doesn't know where she got them.

But I would recommend just

say a prayer, say goodbye to the shorts.

They're not yours anymore.

Yeah, goodbye, shorts.

Have a good day.

All right, next up.

Hello, Jackson, Claude.

Love you both and seeing the growth of the toast.

Also, congrats, Jackie, on Little Camper.

Long time listener, first time writing in.

I need your advice.

I broke up with my boyfriend of two and a half years in August.

It was mutual and we ended on good terms.

We still talk every now and then, but we've established that there's no future for us as partners.

Back in January of 2020, he bought us these...

Sorry.

In 2020 of Jan, January 2020, he bought us these pretty leather and gold Tiffany matching bracelets as a promise to spend our lives together.

Classy.

He lost his towards the end of our relationship, but I still have mine.

Here's where I need advice.

Do I keep the bracelet, give it back to him, or sell it?

It's a nice $1,400 bracelet.

I still love the receipt and the box.

To be honest, I'm leaning towards selling it because I will never wear it again due to it representing a promise that no longer exists, and it's not super stylish, LOL.

I don't want to come across as ungrateful or disrespectful, as that's not my intention.

So what would y'all do?

With love, a toaster who kind of wants to cash in on heartbreak.

I mean, if you don't love the bracelet and you're not going to wear it, then definitely sell it.

If it just is a matter of like, do you want to keep it or not?

I don't know.

I think that there's two things.

I would love to, like, with this $1,400, if you sold it secondhand, you maybe would get like $800, you get like about half.

And then it depends where you're selling it.

They might take a cut.

Right.

Like, once you boil it down, whatever the final number is, let's say, $600, like, I don't know your financial situation.

Like, would that really, really help?

Or would you remain on like $600?

Great.

Because I don't know.

I know right now it's like fresh, but I think it's nice to like collect things from former lovers.

Like, you know, when you're 80, you're telling your grandkids, like, yeah, I used to be this hot bitch.

Look, this man bought me a $1,500 bracelet.

If you don't need to sell it, I know it's kind of tough right now, but like, throw it in a box full of mementos.

And I just think it's like nice to keep things that

once meant something to you.

Yeah, I agree with that.

I do agree.

I was just going to say, like, if you enjoyed the bracelet, I would say keep wearing it, even though it doesn't mean what it once did.

I don't think she enjoys it.

She does it.

She doesn't.

She said it was unfashionable, which is quite hard.

But I agree.

If you don't need to sell it, you could always sell it down the line if you need to.

But it is nice to keep mementos from relationships past, especially since this seemed like it was a very serious one.

Yeah, and it just, I feel like maybe you're thinking about this now because the feelings are still fresh and you just want to get rid of all mementos.

But I don't know.

There's something to be said about just keeping, burying it in your closet, keeping a box of things that remind you of people who used to love you.

Yeah.

It's not like he, you know, cheated on you.

You broke up amicably.

I would keep it.

Yeah, I agree.

But you don't have to wear it.

And you could always then sell it if your decision to keep it is bothering you.

Or you need the cash.

Yeah.

All right, this third one is an update.

Finally, we are hearing from a girl.

She said, I wrote in earlier this summer regarding my friends constantly talking about babies anytime we're together.

Well, here's the update.

I confronted my friends on day one of the girls' weekend, which was a terrible idea.

I don't remember this one, do you?

No.

Okay, maybe she'll remind us.

My friends felt personally attached, started crying, and couldn't understand why I was feeling this way.

So needless to say, I slept with one eye open and I was afraid they would murder me with a breast pump or something of the sort.

The next morning, I heard all the girls in the dining room eating breakfast, and I went up to apologize.

As soon as I started, one of the girls interrupted me and apologized.

Smash, we talked about what you said last night, and we agree with what you said.

We never realized how constantly talking about our kids would impact you.

I was shocked, long story short, after a few mimosas and wine tours, the gal pals were back together and reminiscing about the good old days.

And to everyone's shock, our friend announced that she was pregnant.

Can't wait to listen to this, can't wait to listen to this birth story and her baby's milestones for the next year.

Signed the best auntie who has her friends back.

So I guess if I recall it correctly, like this girl is one of the only girls in the group who doesn't have kids, and it's like fucking in a way.

Like we talk about something else.

So she told everyone, of course, the mamas were offended at first, but you know what?

They mold it over.

And this is the lesson here.

And this is what we're always saying.

Communication is the key.

Saying how you're feeling if you feel like it's worth it.

Get it off your chest.

But sometimes it's not worth it.

Sometimes, yeah, it's knowing whether or not it's worth it.

And that's where the magic lies.

That's where we do hear.

And sometimes, like, you think you're so right and then you hear it from another perspective.

I remember this, the last time we did dear toasters, a girl wrote in like thinking she was 100% right.

But when we are totally unbiased, third-party, non-affiliates.

And it's like we probably are leaning towards taking your side.

Just know that.

Like we're ready to take your side.

So if we are saying like you're wrong, we're saving you all the trouble of like making a big stink about something and your friends are like, no, but you're wrong.

Yeah.

But you know what?

This girl was right.

She was entitled to her feelings and everyone worked out in the end.

And that's what we call a happy ending here at the Morning Toast.

You love to see it.

And speaking of happy endings, that is the end of our show.

That is the end of our show.

Also, it is election day, so make sure you get out in the show.

What is it?

Primary?

No,

mayoral in November.

It's in November.

Oh, my God.

It's so funny.

It's legit election day.

It's so weird.

Like, election day or something.

It's Tuesday in November.

Oh, my God.

I literally thought this was like a midterm.

We're going to have a new mayor.

We're going to have a new mayor.

Oh, my God.

I'm going out to vote.

When Ben was here, we were talking about it.

By the way, I just got like so, like, I just had an existential crisis.

Like, I did not realize it was November.

We've been talking about a new mayor for so long.

You guys, please go out and vote.

Like,

regardless of whether they go out and vote or not, we're still getting a new mayor.

So stay home.

No, I'm kidding.

I'm kidding, though.

Get out and vote.

There's a lot of local things up on your ballot.

So get out the vote.

That's our show.
