Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the Morning Toast.

Happy Tuesday.

Hope everyone's having an amazing day.

And I'm smiling on my face because I just realized, like, I think today is a day for chili.

You think, I mean, the weather is still in the corner.

It just starts to rain.

The weather, I did check the weather app and they said cloudy with a chance of chili.

Chili, yeah, which is my personal favorite weather forecast.

I agree.

It did start to rain as I was walking in.

I was getting some drops on my Fox, which was exciting.

I could see a chili happening today.

I really, really could.

I'm just saying, I'm putting it out there, not just for us, but for all of those who really kind of crave like a chili moment.

Yeah, no, you guys, this might be our day.

I don't have all the ingredients, mostly the meat.

I actually have the meat, and that's really for us, like being kosher.

If you have that, you can get everything else like at the grocery store, but you have to call the kosher butcher.

It won't come till eight.

You're saying we have the meats?

No, I'm saying done, done, done, done, da, da, da, da, da.

Two things.

One, I just want to say Ben drove drove me to work today because we still

have the car because yesterday we borrowed Ben's parents' car to film, I think, our best work yet.

I've watched it three times and it's almost an hour.

Okay, so I watched it while editing it.

Then before I exported it, I watched it again because I was like, I don't want to have to make cuts because it's going to take a while to export because it's so big.

And then I watched it once it was published.

And I have to agree with you.

And everybody who we've sent it to, and I mean, the toasters have and the Patreon members have seen it, like, are saying our best vlog yet.

I watched it again this morning while doing my makeup and I was just like hysterical laughing.

It's honestly such premium content.

Like we went finally on our year in the making.

A year in the making, we did our fast food mukbang vlog.

We took the car, we went to New Jersey, that means cream, and we went to three fast food restaurants, won't spoil, and we tried the menu items that we were craving and that we're able to try.

That we saw fit.

We stuffed our faces.

Stuffed.

I was having crazy belly problems the whole day after.

You know what?

I really wasn't.

And actually, the fullness was so fleeting.

Like two hours later, I was like, I wish I finished that.

By the way, when I was re-watching the vlog and I was looking at all the nuggets, I like put down because I'm like, oh, I don't want to get too full.

Moron.

I should have brought them home with me.

I was so upset.

Watching, by the way, we took two bites of everything.

Like two bites of the frosty.

I ate that burger.

Besides burger.

We had two bites of the frosty, two bites of the sundae.

Like we didn't even finish the McFurry.

Like, what were we doing?

No, you get so full so fast on that food, but it's not, it doesn't stick with you because it's not like good.

It's not sustainable, it's not nutritious.

There's not really like an integrity of the meat, would you say?

There's not an integrity of the calorie.

By the way, that's just like an inside joke from the vlog.

So it's up on our Patreon.

That was our fourth episode for this month.

It has been so long awaited, and honestly, I wouldn't have done it any other way.

Like, I think it's so premium.

Yeah.

And it's almost an hour, and it's just so fucking good.

So check it out.

It felt like filming a reality show, honestly, because we had like the dash cam camera and we were just like sitting there, like kim and chloe we were literally like in a range rover with gopros like i was feeling really feeling myself and i've never in my life like itched for a reality show it's actually something i promised i would never do but i don't know just like sitting in my car where like you know those mounted gopros are at such a flattering angle because they're like a high above plus you get like the natural light yes car lighting is so good i was thinking i'm like this might be for me yeah no i agree we will definitely i mean the move bong people were loving it i think eventually we should do another one going to the ones that are opening on the strip.

You, if you watch the vlog, you know, I don't want to spoil.

But there's so many more fast food chains out there waiting to be reviewed by us.

100%.

And then I think, like, well, you're pregnant now.

So, like, maybe after you're good and ready, like, we have to do a West Coast mukbang because there's like Carls Jr.

in and out, Del Taco.

Like, there are so many West Coast.

And then maybe we do like a Southern Regional, like, we do like a Whataburger.

There's just so many.

And this is something I can definitely, you know, franchise.

Exactly.

Yeah.

No, that's a really good idea.

But, and I agree we should wait till West Coast till I'm fit to travel.

Yeah.

But, um,

I do like doing it while pregnant because I'm doubly hungry.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know?

Yeah.

So I had extra room.

So the other thing I was going to say was like, Ben, I could not fall asleep last night.

I don't know.

I had so much on my mind.

I had so like, I'm now in the phase of my life where like a tour is coming up and I have nightmares every night about the tour.

Like last night, I had the craziest dream, ready?

I got to my show and like nobody told me that it was like actually a variety show and there was like all these different acts and like nobody told me how much time I had and like Dave Chappelle was there and like it was just like a nightmare.

And then so random in my dream, Bat Sheva from Unorthodox Life was like talking shit about me to all the other comedians and like I had to confront her.

It was a very bizarre dream.

So whatever.

I couldn't sleep and I was like a little grumpy this morning.

Like I'm entitled to be grumpy.

It's the morning.

What else are you supposed to be?

So Ben picked me up and I was like, I wasn't even being mean.

I was just being like quiet.

And he's like just on the car ride here, just like commenting on my temper.

You know, he's like, are you grumpy?

I'm like, it's the morning.

Like, can I just sit in silence?

Oh, Jesus.

And then, like, when he dropped me off, I was like being nice because I'm saying bye to my husband, who I love.

And I was like, giving him a kiss.

And then he was just like commenting on my temper again.

Like, oh, you're so positive.

Like, this, this is all wrong.

Jackie, I was like, so irrationally angry.

I got out of the car on the passenger side and I left the door open.

That's funny.

So Ben had to get out of the car, like in traffic and close my door.

I was just like wanting to,

I just want to feel justified, like in that he was being annoying.

That sounds annoying to me.

I really don't like, if nothing's like tangibly bothering me and I'm waiting for you to ask what's wrong so I can tell you what you did wrong.

Of course.

But, you know, there are other times where I'm just, it's called a mood.

It's not even a mood.

It's the morning.

I'm tired.

Like you fell asleep at 11, Ben.

I didn't fall asleep till 2.

I agree.

No, that would really bother me, like, just constantly being commented on my state of mind.

No, no, no.

It's nobody's business.

No.

Oh, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

It's nobody's business.

I guess that's why, you know, your husband shouldn't drive you to work.

I know, but it was so convenient, especially because the second I stepped out of my house, it started to rain and I would have walked.

And I was really grateful for the ride, so I put up with the with the commentary.

Yeah.

We have literally an amazing show for you guys today that's going to be six hours long because we've got the fast five stories, which are so important.

Nope.

And they're me.

Party.

Yeah.

Party.

And then we have a little TV recap because I watched so much cable television last night that I'm just dying to talk about.

And then it's Tuesday, so we have Dear Toasters, which is our advice segment, which is really a highlight of my week.

Yeah.

So that's what we're going to be doing today.

That's what we're going to be tackling.

I think we should get into it.

You know, the only thing that we really did yesterday was Mukbang.

So if you want to see what we were up to, head over to patreon.com/slash a morning toast.

Not only do you have the mukbang of a lifetime waiting for you, but if you join today, then you have so much content waiting for you.

Like it could get you to next year.

And also,

if you watch a mukbang from yesterday, you'll really see like, you know, behind the scenes of what it takes to film a successful mukbang it is stressful it is you never see that side of it you know on the other channels those youtubers like the those la youtubers who like sit in their car and eat and talk to the camera like that looks like a dream job it does and it was incredibly stressful there's so much trash that accumulates like the traffic finding a good parking spot it's a lot yeah it's a lot Plus you got to give it your all, you know?

Well, and I believe we did.

I believe that we did.

So patreon.com slash the morning toast, you will not regret it.

So much premium content there.

And then you can also request the videos and podcasts that you want to see from us.

That's true.

You know, we, everyone has a voice there at Patreon.

We, I think we kind of launch as Patreon with like as an initiative to give a voice to the voiceless.

And I think we've been successful in that.

We've achieved just that.

So without further ado,

moment of silence.

Dadoo.

Miss You Doo.

Miss You Brew.

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.

And today is brought to you by one of our favorite sponsors, making a return, Third Love.

We put our bodies through so much, pushing them to the limit for sport, family, fashion, or just plain fun.

And when you think about it, it's pretty incredible that our bodies keep up.

And third love is here to keep up with your body.

And third love, if you've been struggling

to find a bra that fits, a bra that supports, third love is the brand for you.

Like I'm not sure.

Finding a bra that fits can change your whole life.

Like it can change the way that your clothes look on you, the way that they fit, the way you feel, the support, the back pain, especially, you know, if you're a big-breasted woman, like many of us are, and especially in pregnancy, like these titties are changing.

And third love is keeping up with the changes.

So here's what's so great about third love.

First of all, their sizes.

They have bras available in exclusive half cups.

They have underwear, loungewear, activewear, and sizes extra small through 3x.

And for like most of my life up until I took the third love quiz, I did not know what size boob I actually was.

And they have a really, really detailed quiz.

It's like a personal shopper.

They focus on size, breast shape, current fit issues, and your personal style to find bras and underwear that are perfect for you.

They've helped almost...

18 million women find their true bra size.

And that's like the biggest value add of Third Love.

Like the size.

I never even knew my size existed.

Also, don't sleep on breast shape because you do your quiz, which you love.

You just feel so seen and heard.

And they have all these different breast shapes.

And you really feel so seen.

You're like, oh, yeah, that one looks very familiar.

Yeah, I know her.

Third Love is also the largest donor of undergarments in the U.S., partnering with organizations across the U.S.

They have donated over $40 million worth of bras to help people in need.

And there's just like not a reason that you shouldn't be shopping at Third Love.

And we also have a code, so that'll help.

So right now, you can get 20% off your first order at thirdlove.com/slash toast.

That's 20% off at thirdlove.com/slash toast.

I've been wearing Third Love bras since they became a sponsor, and it's truly a life-changing brand.

Like, this is why we do what we do.

100%.

First story, another reason why we do what we do.

Justice for the girls has been served.

R.

Kelly has been found guilty on all counts in sex trafficking trial.

Ooh, fly.

R.

Kelly was found guilty on Monday of sexually abusing women, boys, and girls for decades, capping the 90s RB superstar's stunning fall from grace.

The crooner was convicted on all nine counts against him, including racketeering and violations of the Mann Act, which prohibits the transport of any woman or girl across state lines for any immoral purpose.

Kelly, who was wearing a blue suit and white mask, sat stone-faced next to his lawyers as the verdict was read.

He faces 10 years to life in prison at his sentencing, which is scheduled for May 4th, 2022.

Oh, that's in a long time.

This May.

But, like, we know he's guilty.

Like, why can't we just sentence him today?

I never understand that.

Me neither.

Seven months.

Well, you know what?

This is just a fat.

You never know, you know?

Like,

with these types of situations, there's so much evidence.

And for some reason, like, nobody ever goes to jail, you know?

Like, I always think of Kevin, the Kevin Spacey situation.

Like, one day, like, boom, the trial was just over.

Like, so the fact that justice was served is so beautiful, stunning, and smart.

And I don't know, I just feel like we've all been along for the ride.

And you know what?

That documentary was I feel, like, I don't know how the legal system works, but I feel like the documentary was so instrumental in this happening.

Like, it brought so people were obsessed with that documentary, and it brought so much light to the R.

Kelly of it all.

Yeah, I agree.

I wonder how it did affect the proceedings, but it definitely also garnered a lot of interest, which puts more pressure on like

the judicial process.

Yeah, and what's so crazy is I remember when watching the documentary, like legal proceedings had like started, but he was stalling so much, which it is your right to a fair and speedy trial, but like if you and your lawyers want to slow it down, then like you can.

And I just feel like it's been such a long journey with such a wonderful result.

And

I am very much looking forward to justice being served.

And it has been served, and that is cause for celebration.

And it's a celebration.

Yes.

Are you ready for for our next story, which is just some really surprising, surprising news?

And I need you and myself to help dissect what I'm seeing.

Angeline and Jolie and the weekend are fueling dating rumors with another dinner in LA.

So

they were spotted together once.

In June.

And then they were spotted together again at an Italian restaurant, Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, which is a romantic restaurant.

It was a date.

And they arrived separately, but they left together after a couple hours inside.

Okay, I think this is so bizarre.

Like, for a million reasons.

To me, the weekend is like the coolest guy in Hollywood.

Like, he's like, just everyone wants to be his friend.

Everyone wants to make music with him.

He's like, cool, cool, cool.

Like, only dates, like, you know,

young models.

Like, he's just a very specific type.

And how I perceive Angelina Jolie is like, nobody in Hollywood really likes her.

And she kind of just gives me like,

what's the right word to use here?

She gives me like

she's a witch.

Do you know what I mean?

Not in like a

mystical sense, but I feel like she's a witch.

Like she's a wicked person.

I don't know why I just get that vibe from her.

And the weekend is like this cool guy everyone wants to be friends with.

Like, talk about opposites attracting.

Again, that's just how I perceive the situation.

Okay, interesting.

I also think this is a bit of a mismatch.

I never got witchy vibes necessarily.

And I feel like for so long we got like cool, sexy vibes.

And then there's been a real fall from Grace with her divorce.

The divorce, and like Brad is like the most lovable guy, and there's definitely bad blood.

Um,

and I just

they must be going into business together.

There has to be some sort of project Ben Nafflek.

There has to be some sort of project on the table for sure.

Yeah, I cannot wrap my head around this.

It seems so random.

Like, you just pick two celebrities who work like in different industries, have different friends.

Like, I could, how did these two even meet, like, for real?

I don't know.

I feel like Angelina just like lives in like a chateau in Italy and like never leaves.

It's beyond strange.

It's beyond weird.

Like, and I'm sorry, I do not chip.

No, I don't chip either.

And, but I do, I do always like to be surprised.

You know, I feel like everything is so calculated these days.

Nothing is really.

That's true.

I don't really see a headline and I'm like shocked.

I'm like, what are you guys writing about?

Right.

Like, this is nonsense.

So it is nice to feel like I saw something that like you didn't see coming.

It's nice to feel something is what you're saying.

And it's nice to be a part of something.

Well I just like got like a watery eye.

Are you getting emotional over this beautiful matchmaking?

I am because love is a beautiful thing.

Oh my god are you okay?

Are you actually crying?

No, I something went into my eye.

Oh, okay.

I feel like it might have been that fly that had been spawning.

Wait, also,

I just find it crazy that Selena Gomez will have dated the same person as Angelina and Jolie.

Sure.

Isn't that like a crazy part?

No, not for me.

Why?

Just isn't.

They're just like, first of all, like not to be, you know, rude, like the age.

Yeah, so for those wondering, she's 46, he's 31.

It's not that crazy.

But how old is he?

31.

15 years.

She is 46?

Oh, I thought she was much older.

Maybe because she's so mature.

Yeah, she's definitely mature.

She's like very involved in like the UN, you know, like

she was giving me like 55 vibes, but she's 46.

Yeah, no, she's 46.

Never knew.

The age difference isn't that crazy.

I just think they're

just weird.

The weekend is just so cool.

Like he has a song with Kanye, you know?

But I think for a lot of people,

Angelina Jolie is so cool.

You think?

Yeah, she's like, you know, Megan Fox.

She was.

Well, Megan Fox.

And I think for us who read like the tabloids every day, like we see her for what she really is, which is witchy.

Totally.

But for most people, like when you think of like sexiest woman alive, it's Angelina Jolie.

Really?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, mean, I used to think that, like, back in the Mr.

and Mrs.

Smith days, I just feel like she's so low-key, and then she just like,

I don't know, like, she stopped being like that girl, and then she was like, you know, philanthropist, humanitarian, world traveler.

I think for a lot of people, she's that woman now, and they look at this and they're like, go weekend, it's your birthday.

Got it.

She gives me, like,

Like for me, I don't know.

I can't really put into words what I think about this situation.

Like, I told you, it was, it was gonna baffle us.

Okay, because like for me, this is like

okay, when I

have been stumped.

Because when I think of Angelina, like she gives me a similar vibe to Amal.

But Amal doesn't have that witchiness.

Like, Amal is kind of like this ethereal, like

woman of the world.

Whereas, like, Angelina's that, but, like, with a cloak of darkness.

I can't explain.

Like, does anybody know what I mean?

I understand what you mean, because, like, she wore the blood and, like, made out with her boyfriend, her brother, but and she's just always like wearing like black frocks.

I don't know.

The difference between them is: Amal is a famous humanitarian, right?

And Angelina Julie is the famous person who became a humanitarian.

Yeah.

You know, it's like the activist.

Literally.

I don't know why.

Maybe I need more time to ruminate on this.

I haven't given much brain power, but I do need time to like come to a conclusion on why this feels so odd to me and like why

I could see like Angelina.

Okay, I could see this is gonna be mean, but I could see Angelina, like, you know, wanting to be with the weekend, but I can't really see the weekend wanting to be with Angelina.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, I, the words you said made sense, I don't see it for either of them, or I see it for both of them.

I think it's equal levels.

Oh my god, there's a fly!

There's that fly, and you know what I think?

I should have just killed it.

I think it's because McPlant.

You think if I turned around right now, there'd be some sort of infestation?

I'm looking

at the bottom.

There's definitely something going on.

We talked about what's been going on with McPlant and the Mook Bong.

If you guys want to check it out at patreon.com slash mornings.

There doesn't appear to be anything nefarious going on with the plant.

Well, there does appear to be something nefarious going on overall.

But I do think maybe after this show it's time to say goodbye.

Should we do a little funeral for McPlant and do a vlog?

I completely agree.

Okay.

McPlant, you were there for me when nobody else was.

You literally and figuratively had my back.

You gave us life, McPlant.

And we didn't do the same.

And we took it away.

Amen.

Rest in peace.

Men.

Are you ready for our next story?

Yeah, I would say that.

I think that you are.

You look ready.

You have your collar.

It's actually a dickie, but thank you.

Okay.

SNL announces who is and isn't leaving the cast.

Yeah, well, yeah.

So here's what's happening.

Everyone is staying except for Beck Bennett and Lauren Holt.

So when I read this, I did have to Google who Lauren Holt was, which is

which I feel like means it was her time.

She just did not leave a lasting impression.

Her debut was just last season.

That's so sad.

I guess it just wasn't a fit.

But it must be so hard to

make an impression.

First of all, in such a big ensemble cast,

she wasn't a featured cast member.

She was like, there's two tiers, like featured cast members, and then like the cast.

And she was on that.

And like, I'm sure you can write and pitch, but not every one of your sketches is going to get picked up.

Some of them get cut for time.

So it must be so hard to like

stand out.

And she just did not.

So I think that her

being let go was probably the best choice.

I was surprised by Beck Bennett.

I mean, I don't like die for him and I don't think he's that great, but he's in every sketch.

You know what?

Okay, I don't, I just, for to put some respect on his name, like he really

is

an important person on the show.

He plays like, he could do any impression.

He plays everything, and he's really in every sketch.

Yep.

He's never the star.

It's never like, what's Beck doing?

Not everyone can be the star.

No, and he is just like a really strong, solid

person.

And I think that his absence will be very much felt.

I agree.

I thought this was kind of weird.

Well, I mean, maybe he has some other opportunities.

I think that he's been on for a while.

I think that, you know, this isn't so crazy because people have to move on at certain points.

Sometimes you, you get so big at SNL that, you know, then when you move on, you're like Tina Fey.

Yeah.

But other times, like, it's just one step and then you're going to take your next step.

And he's been in some movies and stuff.

Has he?

Yeah, I've seen him around.

Let's find out his.

Well, the interesting thing about this news was like, I remember at the end of last season, we thought a lot of the cast members were leaving.

Like Cecily Strong at the final episode of last season was like very emotional.

I thought for sure her time was up.

And I do think her time is up.

A lot of people thought Kate McKinnon would be leaving and she was not, which is wonderful.

I think nobody really thought Keenan was going to leave because he's just like the stable figure that we all need.

And he really is in every single sketch.

So the big time people, nobody left.

Pete Davidson is still on.

Michael Che, Colin Joes.

No, only those two left.

So really, it's not, it could have been more.

I thought, I remember having a conversation at the end of last season that they were going to like clean house.

Yeah.

But they didn't.

And what they did do is promote Chloe Feynman and Bowen Yang are now series regulars, which as opposed to like that second tier that we were just talking about, which I think is fabulous.

Yeah, makes a lot of sense.

And now they brought on three new comedians, Aristotle Athari, James Austin Johnson, and Sarah Sherman.

Wonderful.

Can't wait to see what they have to offer.

I do think that Chloe Feynman and Bowen Yang are the future of

the franchise.

So love to see respect being put on their names and can't wait to see what they bring to the writer's table.

Yeah, I think overall it could have been a crazier shake-up.

It's not.

I think I will miss Beck Bennon.

I think he's really funny, and he always understands the assignment.

Always.

I feel like he's just like a very hard worker, like kept his head down, like did exactly.

Never was atrocious.

Never was the best, but like never really flopped.

Never.

No, I think I completely agree with your assessment of the situation.

So good luck, Beck Bennett.

Good luck out there.

Yeah, Godspeed.

Looking forward to seeing you.

I looked at his IMDb.

He's been in a lot of animated things, so maybe he's got some inbrew in.

He does have like that kind of voice.

Yeah.

No, he's very talented.

He is.

Are you ready for our next story?

Yeah.

Lisa Vanderpump is making headlines because she's not.

Because her show premieres tonight.

What show is it?

Is it the Vanderpump Rules?

Oh.

I know.

Somebody told me that yesterday.

Actually, you know what?

I keep telling people that.

I want to double check.

Somebody told me that yesterday because I was on live and they said, are you going to watch Pump Rules tomorrow night?

And is it just me or they've done no...

promoting yes today okay cool season nine episode one well that's exciting yes why aren't they promoting it at all?

I saw some stuff, but I just assumed that like when they announced that the show is coming, it's going to be in five months.

So

I didn't get excited.

I just saw a trailer like one or two weeks ago, but no commercials, like nothing.

Yeah, no commercials, just like from following Lala.

I've seen.

Okay, well, anyways, Lisa Vanderpump is drumming up some interest in herself by saying that Kyle Richards spread Erica Jane rumors at Andy Cohen's baby shower party.

So in a recent interview with Daily Mail TV, Lisa reluctantly claimed that it was former Bestie Kyle Richards who spread the rumors about Erica Jane's financial woes at Andy Cowarden's baby shower in 2019.

So Camille Grammer had previously claimed on Twitter that a West Coast-based housewife and good friend of Erica's circulated stories about Erica at Andy's star-studded party.

When asked who it was, Lisa said it could be the person that my that Ken kicked out of my house meeting Kyle.

I just don't believe this one because if something is coming from Camille Donatachi Grammer's Myers' mouth, I'm just I'm reluctant to believe it.

She is so thirsty.

And we know she has this like very weird alliance with Lisa Vanderpump.

So I just feel like this is something they concocted in their heads to maintain relevancy when both of them are so irrelevant now.

Interesting.

I don't know.

I agree.

Like, you definitely have to consider the source.

I think Lisa...

If she could take anyone down with her, it would be Kyle.

Like, I think she's mad at all the girls, but if she could really get only payback for one housewife, it would be Kyle because I think the betrayal is the deepest there for her.

So, yes, you have to consider that.

But then also,

when you say stuff publicly like this, like in an interview, like you don't necessarily lie.

I don't know.

Like, who's how do there's no proof that this is true?

Don't worry about it.

I don't know.

I could see some other housewife popping up.

There were so many women there.

No, I'm saying I heard that.

I overheard that.

She said that to me.

Someone to corroborate her story.

Yeah.

So I guess we'll wait for that.

I do like,

and also, what was she saying?

You know, she could have been saying something that wasn't nefarious, but just true, that, you know, Tom is in a lawsuit.

He was always in a lawsuit.

Kyle is not stupid.

Like, let's say Kyle knew.

I don't think Kyle would be running around this housewife Bravo event talking shit about a cat.

Like, I just don't think Kyle's stupid.

I think that's one extreme version of what happened.

They're giving us nothing about what she actually said or did.

I don't think she was running around saying anything.

Maybe she had a conversation with someone, one person, and she just mentioned Tom's legal woes because he had other, like, just like Doreen has.

I don't think Kyle knew about, you know, widows and orphans.

Yeah.

Oh, for sure.

And nobody did.

Yeah.

So

I don't think it was that extreme, but I think she might have mentioned something.

And now Camille is like making it bigger than a mouse.

By the way, that's a very good assessment of the situation.

I feel that.

So it's neither this, neither things are true, neither things are false.

Did you see that Andy went on Jimmy Fallon and said the Real Houses of Beverly Hills Reunion is going to be not one, not two, not three, but four parts?

Yes, and I know I'm supposed to be jazzed about it.

I am.

You're jazzed.

Jackie, first of all.

I just, they have to make up for those New York time slots that they didn't sell.

That's possible, but I think, first of all, there's like so many things going on.

There's the Erica Jane of it all, which really needs like two episodes.

Like, there's so much.

And then there's also the other shit going on, and it's a pretty good season.

Like, I think that four is definitely extreme, but I'm very, I mean, I have to see what they give us first.

Andy was on Watch Haven's Live with Sutton, and they were just talking about it.

Like, they both had this trauma that they like lived through going through the reunion.

And I think it's going to be premium.

And you know what?

I would rather watch a four-part drawn-out Beverly Hills reunion than one-part New York reunion.

Agreed.

And I'll be open-minded.

Just keep in mind that means we're going to be recapping Beverly Hills reunions for a month.

No, I know.

That's insane.

Insane.

And I better get.

the answers that we deserve and the justice that I'm looking for.

You know what?

You know, I should have screenshotted it.

I saw this post.

Like, Like, I just follow all these random Bravo accounts.

I saw this post that somebody posted on Reddit, and it was just like their thoughts on this whole situation.

And it was so well said.

Like, can you imagine if this situation was going on with a housewife in a different city?

Like, this person basically wrote, imagine if there was someone on Atlanta who went through this.

Like, Kenya would be chewing her out.

Nini would be inviting the victims to a dinner party.

If this happened in New York, Bethany would get to the bottom of it in 10 seconds.

Literally, Erica Chain is so lucky that she is with this group of, like, honestly, wussies, like who will not ask a question.

And the only one who asks literally even the most like

modest question is getting chewed out.

Like Erica has no clue how good she has it because if she was on another franchise with some of these other sleuth Megan King Edmonds,

imagine what these women would do to Erica, like if they knew the magnitude of what was going on and were filming with her.

Like, so the fact that she's having a fucking sissy fit temper tantrum over Sutton just saying, I don't want to be sued, like, she doesn't even know how good she has it.

Agreed.

It was such a well-said Reddit

comment comment which is so rare i was shook yeah no i agree completely so i hope someone fucking lays into her at the reunion yeah even if erica is completely innocent and has no blood on her hands we have to be asking hard questions and currently we're not and we're all like yes sutton when suddenly low-key doing nothing like she's not even asking hard questions No, but she's the only one, everyone else.

Right.

I agree.

I agree.

So if the reunion doesn't give us that, I'm going to be really fucking disappointed.

And you know what?

Like, Andy has given me little to no faith that he will actually take matters into his own hands.

When he's spoken on the Erica Jane case on Radio Andy and on Watch Rappin's Live, he's so like cautious and nice about it.

And

I just don't think, and then, you know, if the monique of it all is anything.

Yeah,

we're getting nothing.

He's not a man who serves justice.

Yeah, we're getting nothing.

Fuck.

And you know what?

I've been like on this Andy Cohen like downward spiral.

And if he fumbles the ball on this reunion, I'm letting you know like it is the nail in the coffin for me.

It's going to be a turning point for me.

If he fumbles the ball on, if the whole show fumbles the ball on this reunion and we don't get like the justice and the answers and the questions that we're looking for, like

next season of Beverly Hills for me is up in the air.

And you know what?

Like up in the air.

When I think of how hard everyone was, like the housewives and Andy at reunions on Teresa, when like Teresa definitely committed crimes that were victimless and that really were perpetrated by her husband.

And she's just like not the smartest.

Right.

But everyone like came for her so hard.

Like we need that energy times 11.

Right.

And I just don't, I don't have faith that we're going to get it, but I don't want to be negative.

I'm going to keep it open in mind, but I'm just letting you know if we don't get it, things are going to change around here.

I completely

agree.

Thank you, Claudia.

I just wanted to follow up on something I spoke about yesterday.

I have made the decision to go see Olivia.

I know.

I honestly, I think that was part of the reason that was keeping me up last night.

I'm so excited.

I'm so jealous.

She's like obviously planning.

And by the way,

you told me that you had to take off Friday, which really was like the thing that I was like, okay, well, now I have, I can go Thursday.

Yeah.

So I'm spending Thursday to Sunday with Olivia and Michaela and Zach.

And I'm just so excited.

Olivia's like, I'm going to make a nice Shabbat.

We're going to go to the club for dinner.

And I just don't even know.

I'm bringing my bathing suit.

Like, I just feel like.

You might not be coming back.

No, 100%.

Like, I'll make Olivia podcast with me like all week and next week.

Like, oh, and I think I'm going to vlog for the Patreon, like, my whole trip.

But I also want to enjoy.

So like I might forget, but I'm going to try.

I'm so fucking excited.

like that was what was keeping me up last night like I miss the Kayla Ashri Shapiro so much I'm so jealous I know like I'm seriously so jealous I have a nice weekend lined up for myself and brew but oh you're bringing brew yeah brew's invited so nice it's so

asked yeah

it's just more about the plane like I'm traveling by myself that's a lot yeah that's a lot he's a big boy big boy big boy and he's them boys and he's making noise on a plane and I'm sitting in coach because literally it was crazy.

No flights, everything sold out and so expensive.

Wow.

And the airlines have zero respect for human beings, let alone animals these days.

Good luck to you.

There are no animal rights on planes anymore.

It's actually disgusting.

It's so crazy how all the airlines got together and said, fuck these animals.

No, they literally were like, where's PETA on this?

Why is it?

Like, it's so crazy.

They just woke up one morning and decided, I think

I'll ban the animals.

We've been watching.

Like, at first, they tried to kill our pets, throwing them in the overhead bin, in the cargo space.

Oh, and and like that wasn't enough to get people to stop bringing their pets on planes.

Fine, we'll just ban it.

They tried to make it so that we didn't want to bring our pets anymore by making it unmanageable.

You know, you land, your dog's belly flipped, and your dog is dead.

Then they're like, oh, that didn't work.

People are still, all right, I guess we'll just ban it.

But they tried.

They really did.

If you've been watching the situation closely, it doesn't seem so.

Nefat.

I just don't know why it has to be this way.

Why one airline, just one, won't stand up and say, we will take your animals.

And I understand, I mean, they said there was a lot of incidents and accidents and biting happening on with people's dogs on the planes.

But what about for those of us who didn't have those incidents and accidents?

Yes.

Also?

Why must we all be punished?

I'm just waiting for one person, one wealthy person, to start an airline.

And it should just be called humane airlines, where we respect people.

We respect their property, we respect their feelings, we respect their pets, and their personal space.

So it's an airline where you pay slightly more, not anything crazy, slightly more for just really every row should be two decently sized recliners.

Like this three,

also like, we're living in America, like not everyone can fit in those seats.

Like I just think two big recliners per, I'm not even asking for anything so crazy.

I don't need a lay flat bed everywhere we go, but I just need an airline called Humane Airlines where you can bring your pets.

We won't be rude.

You can't be rude either, though.

That's a thing.

It's a social contract because some, some, don't get me wrong, some people.

Some people, but these days, but these days, like when you see the viral airline videos, it's the airlines.

No.

These days, when you see those viral, literally people, I saw the craziest video this guy had to be.

This guy had to be sedated and taped to his chair.

It's the passengers.

No, I don't agree with that at all.

Oh, no.

I think it's the airlines.

Like, your two-year-old can't keep their mask on and he has asthma and get kicked off the flight.

That's moronic.

I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking about like people literally like starting fights.

I see the craziest shit.

Like people.

I don't even know.

Like, I just see all over TikTok, like people acting like animals and like getting thrown off the plane.

And that's TikTok stuff, sure.

Delaying the flights, like people just trying to get home to see their family, delaying for three hours because like you are fighting with the person next to you because of like elbow room.

Like it's so stupid.

You, those people, we are separating them.

I don't want them here.

Okay.

I do not want them here.

Also, on Humane Airlines, might I suggest my very ergonomic theory for airplane seats?

Instead of three and three,

we get two, two, two.

That way, everybody's on an aisle.

Everybody's happy.

Nobody's in a middle seat.

Okay, I also saw on TikTok this rendering.

It was like a possible idea for how to lay out a plane and it was pretty genius.

So

I can't really explain it.

Okay, so it's two.

And then behind you, there's like a set of like three stairs and then another two above you so that you can lay flat on top, like a bunk bed almost.

It sounds like a concentration camp when I say it, but if I show you this rendering, like it actually looked pretty fabulous.

Okay, show me the rendering.

I want to look at the plans.

I've got to start saving my TikToks.

Like, I can't remember.

I'll find it.

But I agree, like, I'll start a GoFundMe for Humane Airlines.

Like, as long as we can get some Fortune 500 CEO to run it, I'm fucking done.

Yeah, no, I agree with you.

It's

gotten to be too much.

Too much.

Now, are you ready for our fifth and final story?

Oh my god, all ready?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, wait, sorry.

No, I'm not.

No, you're not ready.

I didn't know if you wanted a little musical performance.

It's the final story.

Wait, you can bring your push.

That's really good.

Okay, our fifth and final story.

Facebook is pausing work on the Instagram Kids app amid growing scrutiny.

Yeah, I think that's best.

I think that's best.

Facebook has announced that it's pausing its Instagram Kids project in order to, quote, work with parents, experts, and policymakers to demonstrate the value and need for this product.

The announcement follows criticism from 44 state attorneys general who asked Facebook to abandon the project and a request

request from Democratic lawmakers for more detail about the project.

You guys, this is such a weird idea.

Like, how about permanent pause, you know, dissolve the branch?

These kids are already not okay.

We've, as we've demonstrated on the show so many times.

No, and it's like we're already so worried about like what, for as long as I can remember, like, you know, be careful who you talk to on the internet and what we're going to make a platform just for kids so like people who are freaks like know exactly where to go.

Oh, I wasn't even thinking about that aspect, like how to catch a predator, go on Instagram kids.

Right.

But I'm thinking about like the social dilemma.

The campers aren't okay.

The campers have anxiety.

The campers don't know how to socialize.

And these kids need need to get off their phones, not have reasons to spend more time using technology.

Here's an idea.

Go outside.

Completely.

You're like, so Michelle Obama.

Like, get up, get out, get healthy.

100%.

No, 100%.

By the way, these kids are not well.

And I think that this is giving me very much vibes of like the activists.

Like, who thought producing this app, producing this television show, would be a good idea?

And then, like, I love when they announce it, like, we all have a normal human reaction.

We're like, what the fuck?

So problematic for so many reasons.

And I'm so here for the cancellation of Kidstagram.

I don't know what it was going to be called, but very much here for the cancellation.

Very.

And I don't believe in cancel culture.

But very much, it's a pause.

It's pause culture.

Permanent pause.

Permanent pause.

Let's just not forget the permanent pause.

I just really hope they don't come back to this.

Like, I just hope that they can find a dignified way to say, you know.

We fucked up.

We fucked up.

Let's just, you know what?

It's okay.

If they never bring it up.

It's okay to make mistakes.

If they never bring it up again, I will never bring it up again.

You know, like, I don't know.

I don't want to be embarrassed.

I will never talk about this again, pending that this pause is just like, we all just forget about it, it you know i totally agree we need to focus on what the kids actually need they need counselors

counselors they they need actual like guidance counselors counselors in bunks counselors and bunks we need to renovate the bunks and we need to get the kids out like the kids i really like

these kids are not well like i think they've all been cooped up inside their house for a year in addition to like all of what happened before like

social media being a kid

comparing yourself to kid things for for generations then they've been stuck with their parents for a year not seeing their friends, not going to school, not going to their soccer practice.

During these developmental years, it's not like I just didn't see my friends.

I'm 25 years old, like, and I'm, you know, living with myself.

And, like, fully developed, like,

the kids, you guys.

I'm really worried about the kids.

This cannot go forward.

No, this will be truly like the straw that breaks the kids' back.

Yeah.

And the campers cannot be walking around with broken backs.

The campers can't sustain much more.

They cannot.

So that's what's the latest with the campers.

So yeah, justice Justice for the Campers, Justice for the Girls, and those were our stories.

Those were our stories, feels though you needed to know them.

And now TV recap?

Yes, okay, so I watched so much cable television yesterday because we were talking about last week how we both wanted to start watching The Voice and then it was just on and I was flipping through the channels and so was Dancing with the Stars.

And the recap of Dancing with the Stars and The Voice is brought to you by Overland.

I'm excited.

Me too.

I love Overland.

You got to tell them what it is and then I got to share my experience.

There is, oh, you have a story?

Yeah, I've been living in my Overland.

There is nothing we do every day that is comfier or more luxurious than slipping into a pair of Overland Sheepskin Slippers.

They are a family-owned American heritage brand that puts comfort and quality first for nearly 15, 50, excuse me, years.

fluffy sheepskin you feel on the inside.

You're getting top quality material because it has to look and feel great to meet all of their standards.

So, I mean, you really cannot put a price on comfort.

And I actually wore my Overland slippers on the show last week and I got so many compliments.

I'm obsessed.

I have the same slippers that you have, and they're literally getting me so excited for for fall.

Like, I can't think of anything better than standing in those bad boys making it chili.

That's when you know that fall is here.

Chilly.

You guys, those slippers are so damn comfortable, and they have a nice grip at the bottom.

So, if you do find yourself being over and leaving the house in them, it will be okay.

Thank you, Claudia.

It's a pleasure.

Please share your experience.

I didn't watch much TV last time.

Okay.

So let me just quickly get through the voice because I'm obsessed.

So I feel like I've watched The Voice in the past and it's always about the contestants, of course.

But like for me, there's so much star power on the judging panel.

Like I didn't even care.

about the contestants.

Like I was just obsessed with watching them all like banter and they all really have their own

thing going on.

Like the dynamic is basically John Legend is really quiet.

Like it's actually crazy how shy he is.

Maybe not shy, maybe introverted.

Like he's so quiet.

It's so disarming.

It's just like not what I expected from him.

Then there's Ari, who was like obviously the most famous person there.

And like they're always just like joking.

Like if Ari turns around, like they're never going to get the person that they want because like.

who wouldn't want Ari.

But doesn't she have a maximum amount of people she can take?

Okay, so.

But she's also very selective.

So like once she turns around, like it's over for everyone everyone else and they all just like start crying and they're just like talking about how famous she is the whole time and she's like so humble.

She's like, oh my god, what are you guys talking about?

Like you're Kelly Clarkson like you're Blake Chaldean like you're John Legend.

Like she's so we stand a humble queen.

And then Blake is obviously like his like annoying self, but it's actually quite endearing and he's just very funny.

And then Kelly's a fucking queen and I just like love her so fucking much and she just wants to like help her her team like so bad.

And you just love to see people out here respecting Kelly Clarkson.

And for the most part, they really do.

I do wonder how it works because obviously like if people turn like,

you know, someone turns around and like you want them, but they need to even out like the teams, like you have to go with Kelly, even though you wanted Blake or something.

Like, I wonder how that works.

What do you mean?

Like,

because not everyone can go on one team.

So like you can't, like, they have to spread out like where people go.

No, but like Kelly wouldn't turn around if she didn't have any more spots left.

No, I know, but like, let's say Kelly has like, this fly is terrorizing me.

Let's say Kelly has like one person on her team and Ariana has like four out of five.

Like, they have to like spread it out.

Do you know what I mean?

Well, that's up to Ari.

If she doesn't want to fill her last spot with this singer, she's like,

it feels like they're spreading it out on the show.

That's all I'm saying.

Okay, but I feel like as a judge, you would want to spread it out yourself.

Like,

this singer better be the best thing you've ever heard if they're going to take my fifth spot.

It's easier to get Ari's first spot than her fifth spot.

I just feel like they're spreading it out.

And there was two people last night who got like all four chairs to turn.

One was this, like, cutie.

Okay, by the way, you would have loved him.

He's like from Tennessee.

He's obsessed with playing the fiddle.

He got like so famous playing the fiddle like in his town that Ricky Scriggs, who I think is like a really famous bluegrass singer, asked this kid to open for him at the Opry.

And it was like the highlight of his life.

His dad starts talking about watching his son play the Opry and they start crying.

Like I'm telling you I was hysterically crying, but he also loves to sing.

And he came out and sang this country song, which I didn't know.

It's called Tulsa Time, which was like annoying because whenever people don't sing songs, I know, like, it just makes it worse.

But everyone turned around for him.

And of course, he went with Blake and it was like so cute.

That's so cute.

And then this girl came out, she sang Rocket Man by Elton John, and everyone turned around.

It was

spectacular.

Like, I was, I had chills down my spine.

I have a question: Who do you think Ari is taking the most contestants from?

Because, like, I

oh, you think people who would normally go to Kelly are now choosing Ari.

Kelly are very similar.

They're like belty queens, like, with, oh, crazy vocal range.

And they're both like pop.

Interesting.

Like, tough.

Like, I don't feel like ari's taking people from blake like that fiddler wasn't choosing ari never like so blake is so country john legend is so r b soul ari and kelly are both pop queens and they're both known for their like unbelievable vocal range so for me like if i was going on like i would have a hard time choosing between kelly and ari who would you choose i think i would choose kelly and this is why I think Ari has the best voice ever, and I think that like she was just born with it.

And I think Kelly has an amazing voice, but has trained her voice over the years so much to like hit notes and work on her breathing.

And I feel like that's the kind of help I could use.

Like it's so like, maybe I don't know this to be a fact.

It just feels like it's so easy for Ari.

And I feel like Kelly like works at her talent.

Yes.

And also, I think Kelly has had to work harder to make a space for herself in the pop world.

I mean, there were so many albums that she did.

for labels that like just didn't understand her like

story brand person you know she always talks about like the some of the albums that she made that, like, she had no control over.

And I just feel like Ari was like born to be a pop star.

Exactly.

Like, and I feel like Kelly's just had a hard time, until recently, honestly, like, finding her space in this industry.

Yeah, no, it's extremely recent.

And so, I don't know, I just feel like I love someone who struggles.

Like, everything in Ari's life is just like it all happened so fast.

You know, she was Nickelodeon, then she was the biggest pop star in the world.

Like, I just feel like I would relate more to Kelly's musical and professional journey.

I agree with that.

Which would you you choose?

I would choose Kelly because, you know, I just want to get to know her, see what she's all about.

I do think that actually, like, Ari, like, she's literally our age and has all the same interests.

And, like, we would be best friends.

But in terms of a coach, like, Kelly gives me counselor energy.

Okay, but then there's also this thing where it's like, okay, if you're a country singer, yeah, of course, you want to be mentored by Blake, but then you're also like competing against

all the other country singers.

So when Ari and like Kelly were trying to persuade this fiddle kid, they're like, okay, obviously Blake is an obvious choice, but do do you really want to, but I don't have anyone country on my team.

Like you would be the country.

And when you go into the ring, the battle rounds.

Yeah.

It's not country on country.

Exactly.

So I actually kind of agree with that.

They make a lot of good points, it sounds like.

No, and it's so fucking funny.

Like,

basically, Blake Shelton says that he's like old enough to be Ariana Grande's grandfather, and they just keep calling him grandpa.

It's just, they have the best banter.

It's...

So premium.

And I just never really thought I would be like a girl who watches the voice.

I feel like I'm officially like an old person.

I feel like old people watch a voice.

Old and young.

I think they are now.

Yeah, no, she is earning her keep.

Like she said she would bring in a new demo and here you are.

And here I am and she's excellent.

She's so sweet to like everyone.

She's funny.

She's great.

Like I think that these four should be on the show forever.

Wow.

Like I don't ever and I remember I used to watch with Adam Levine.

I found him to be annoying.

I know people really liked him.

I'm I'm not glad he's gone, but like I wouldn't be watching if it was him.

Like these four are perfect.

Oh my God, I have to watch.

It's so good, Jackie.

You will love it.

And the singing, like this girl who sang Rocket Man, all four turned around, I believe she chose Ari.

She was, I never heard a voice like that in my life.

Like it was unbelievable.

I think I recorded them, so I'll watch them.

You should.

Also, you could just watch them all on YouTube.

True.

Then I watched.

Dancing with the Stars.

Dancing with the Stars.

So there was a lot to unpack.

And honestly, I got so bored by the end.

I didn't even watch Who Got Eliminated.

I believe Christine

Frimbling Empire went home.

no she didn't um the guy from cobrie kai oh okay martin rove martin cove i think um i was watching and i'm like obviously he's the one who goes home first only because like it's so hard to dance compete with everyone when you're that much older and i never heard of this man so it was his time i thought i saw christine went home okay never mind so here's what happened cheryl burke who is partners with Cody Rigsby, tested positive.

Yeah.

And they had just been together, so he couldn't go to the ballroom, but they are going to let him still compete.

I I don't know with who, but I'm sure he's quarantined for like a little while.

And we watched their performance that they had in dress rehearsal, which was like them in their studio.

And it was, it was dark.

Like it was not.

But with Shucks, it was such a well-choreographed routine.

And Cody's like so good.

I would have loved to have seen that on the ballroom.

Like it was so high energy.

They danced to,

I think they danced to Camilla Cabello.

Oh, yeah, don't go yet.

Don't go, which I really like that song.

So we did miss out on that, like for sure.

And everyone is just like getting really good.

I'm sorry, Olivia Jade is very good, and like her and her partner have amazing chemistry.

Is he married?

He's dating someone on the cast, or he's married to someone that's on the cast.

That's too bad because there's a lot of

chemistry between them.

Let me just.

I think her partner's Val, Val Chermakovsky, but there was someone else on the cast with Chermkovsky.

I know, that's why it's confusing.

So, I think he's married to Pacha.

No,

he's married to Jenna Johnson, whose partners with Jojo Siwa.

Okay.

JoJo Siwa was, okay, she was good.

She was fine.

She was good.

But she was just fine.

Like, for a dance mom, Amanda Clutes was unbelievably radiant and gorgeous.

Like, she did this gorgeous dance, like a Frank Sinatra song.

It was so elegant, so old Hollywood, so everything of the sort.

And she's such a good dancer.

It's like not fucking fair.

Who cut the best scores?

Oh, I don't know.

The scoring is so irrelevant to me.

Let me tell you why.

Because somebody will do like good if they're like a really bad dancer.

So it's like graded on a curve, you're saying.

It's graded for, no, not even on a curve, graded for the person.

Okay, so like if I'm like a bad dancer, but like Martin Rogue's 10 is different than Amanda Clutz's 10.

So, right, so I'm like someone who's a bad dancer, but this time I kept up with all the steps.

I didn't like drop anything, but I wasn't obviously like giving it, you know, the best technique ever.

I'll get a seven.

But then like Amanda Clutes, who's like very talented, like they'll point out her footwork problems and she'll get a six.

Yeah.

So it makes no fucking sense.

Okay.

But it also makes it a little bit more fair because otherwise Amanda's getting a 10 every time if we're all graded on the same scale.

Well,

it's dancing with the stars, not dancing with the scale.

Teaching with the stars.

Yeah.

Sorry.

I have to think about how I think, how, how I think it should go.

Christine from Bling Empire basically said she's obsessed with dancing with the stars.

She's every year, like since she moved to LA, like she used to enter in a lottery to win tickets.

She's been, they had footage of her sitting behind the judges like 10 years ago.

She was literally saying like, this is the dream of her life.

She is not great.

Like, she's just, I feel like she reminds me of someone she's coordinated but has no rhythm, which is so hard to learn, you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, she was just giving me like low energy, but she was having so much fun.

Like, I just want her to spend a good amount of time there because, like, I want her to have fun.

Jimmy Allen is so good, but again, it's so easy for a boy to be good.

Like, he's very much giving me like leading man energy where like his partner's doing all the dance where he's just like carrying her around.

Whereas, like, Cody and Cheryl, like, they're both like salsaing, like, going, giving it the most.

Like, he loves it, you know?

Yeah.

And who else was remarkable?

Oh, Malora Harden from the office.

Jacqueline.

She's so good.

I just like, I love her.

How was Matt James?

Not good.

He got bad scores and they like roasted him.

And I was reading on Twitter, people were like coming for him, like for his

Roomba, like whatever.

It just needs, it needs work.

It's still only week two.

And to be honest, like for a while, it's just a popularity contest.

Like there are a bunch bunch of people who need to go home before anyone who has like a substantial Instagram following is going to go home.

And then it really becomes about the scale.

Like for now, like we, you just and also for now, like you do want to see growth.

So having a bad week in the beginning like will ultimately make your final dance look better.

Oh, you know who I thought was good was Imon Schumbert.

He's like not the best dancer, but he was having so much fun and he remembered all the steps.

And I think that he was really surprising.

And then also, they're going to keep him on for a while because LeBron James watched Dancing with the Stars last night and tweeted and they like commented on it on air.

They're like, LeBron James is watching.

It was like crazy.

Oh, that's cool for them.

Yeah.

And Tyra was like out here wearing crazy fucking outfits, but doing much better than last season.

Like people are a little too hard on her.

Like I was, I wanted to see what people thought of like everything.

And I was on Twitter and people are just fucking hard on Tyra.

Like, yeah, she was wearing the craziest, stupidest dress you ever saw in your life.

But like leave her alone.

Like it's, it's a moment.

She's a model.

Yeah.

Cool.

Well, that sounds like very good.

It sounds very good.

Okay.

Did you watch any TV you want to recap?

I did.

And I just watched a little Outlander, but I I was mostly editing the Mookbong.

So I was just watching patreon.com/slash a morning toast all night.

And I have to say, it was premium content I would recommend to anyone.

All right, let's dive into Dear Toasters, our advice segment, which we do every Tuesday.

And if you ever want to write in, it's deartoasters at gmail.com, and we will always keep your shit anonymous.

Here's the first one: Hi, Claudia and Jackie.

I love you guys so much.

Congrats on your bibbit, Jacks.

And Claudia, congrats for simply being you, which is fabulous.

Wow, that's pathetic.

No, I thought that was pretty good.

Like, you've accomplished so much, and like, I'm just like over here.

It's fine.

This is about her.

her.

I don't want to make the deer toasters about me.

But, like, you obviously feel.

But it is.

I love deer toasters, and I never thought I'd need to write in, but I'm torn and I need your input on what to do.

For the past year, my best friends and I have gotten together to get group gifts for each other, with the idea being that putting our money together for one big gift would be better than giving each other small and expensive gifts, and it would likely be something that we would all like to have, like a designer piece of jewelry or accessory.

It was finally my turn, and I was so excited to get my gift.

My birthday comes around, and I get a hodgepodge of items from Amazon with a total value of half of what I've coordinated and gotten with everyone else.

I know this because your girl got gift receipts.

I naturally was bummed because I was excited to get a nice new item and instead I got items of significantly less value.

and things I've never even asked for nor wanted.

Having the money is definitely not the issue here, so I'm not quite sure why I didn't get a nice present when we've been putting in this gift giving trend for a year.

I know you should never expect anything in return, but

I just feel left out and I'm not sure why my friends didn't spend the money on me.

So here's my dilemma.

It's time for the next girly girl to get her gift.

Do I continue on and coordinate for her to get the same big ticket item I've coordinated for the rest of the girls in the past and be a good friend?

Or do I mention anything about my lackluster gift?

Please help, sincerely, a disappointed best friend who's trying really hard not to be petty.

Oh my god, this would bother the shit out of me.

This would bother me so much, especially because there's not that much that you can do without

looking like a slob.

Yeah, and like that you're like counting everyone and like, you know, they did get you a gift.

No, but like a designer piece of jewelry and things from Amazon, that's like a crazy difference.

Yeah, no, you

have to put your foot down.

You can't be a schmuck.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, you can't just be like steamrolled over.

No, and just like keep buying everyone all of these things.

And like, why didn't they?

Well, the reason actually why they didn't get it for you is because you coordinate it for everyone else.

So let someone else coordinate this time and see what happens.

I think that's why, because I don't want to say like they like you less and and, you know, I, cause.

That seems too obvious.

Yeah.

I think it's because someone else got put in charge.

They waited till the last minute and they sent you some shit from Prime overnight.

And they've been used to you like taking charge.

Yeah, I think that's what happened here.

Don't take charge.

That's the answer here.

Do not take charge.

Hello.

Hi.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, it's raining out there.

Yeah, a little bit.

Stay dry.

Have a good one.

We got a package.

Sorry, that was from the postman.

It says fragile on it.

And it has a photo of brew on it.

Should we do a live unboxing?

Yeah, because I think it's from this brand that had DM'd me.

They

put together some mock-ups of some things they wanted to send me, and it was some of the most incredible-looking stuff because it was like all brew merch.

This is not an ad.

It was all brew merch, and they really captured his likeness.

And so, I was like, I would love to receive these items.

Did it occur to you at any moment to get something for your nephew?

They didn't mock up do, and I didn't want to be

like a Haza.

So, I just accepted what they had for me.

Just watch out for the address.

Okay, first up, I hope you guys are watching on YouTube too.

Yeah, no, this is about to be some of the most premium shit we've ever seen.

Oh

my God.

Oh my God.

No, I know I don't even get anything.

It's for babies.

Okay, here are two bibs, ready.

It has a picture of Bruno on it, and it says Bruno.

Oh my god, give that to me.

And then there's also.

This is a onesie, not a bib.

Oh, sorry.

Then there's also this one that says best friends.

And there is a bib.

Sorry, that's why I got confused.

This bib, oh my god, it just has a picture of Bruno.

Look at this hand-drawn picture of Bruno.

They completely captured his likeness.

Completely captured his likeness.

There's so much more stuff.

By the way, this company is not an ad.

And there's some stuff for me in there too, like a crew neck, I remember.

Perky Prince.

It's called Perky Prince, and they will capture your pup's likeness.

Masks with Bruno on it.

I'm dying.

Do you want to be unboxing this?

I just felt like you didn't want to.

No, you're doing a great job.

Oh, my God, a gorgeous t-shirt with Bruno.

You guessed it.

Hold on, there's more.

This is the crew neck.

This is actually sick.

Hand-drawn Bruno Facemen.

Oh, my God.

This is sick.

That is fucking sick.

Thank you, Perky Prince.

Wait, there's one more big thing.

Oh, my God.

Is it?

This, I think, is going to be.

Where's my socks Cutter?

Oh my goodness.

Okay.

Oh.

Oh, my God.

This is the cutest fucking company.

Thank you, Johnny.

Oh,

my God.

Oh, my God, we finally have our first piece of brew art.

This is gorgeous.

That is gorgeous.

Oh, my God.

What a great time for the postman to come.

Hey, this is a good one.

Wait a minute, Mr.

Postman.

Brew.

Oh my god.

Oh my god, this is so beautiful.

It's like I want it hanging in the studio, you know, because we have so much Theo art here.

But this is Theo's place.

No, kid.

But you need it for your house.

I need, I don't, you like, you have a wall of Theo at home too.

So I just need to get started on my brew memorabilia.

I can't believe that's a hand like sketched sketch of Brew.

That's a good one.

And they even got like all of his little baby hairs.

And his little freckle on his nose.

And his numerous freckles.

And his just

the look of love in his eye.

They got that too.

You can get these at perkyprince.com at perky prince.

And then hashtag perky print.

Again, not an ad, just great timing.

Just great timing and a great product.

And they had the picture of Brew on the box.

Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have opened it live.

Okay, so back to this girl who

is getting like...

And sorry to like open all these gifts for me when your issue is.

Rubbing it in her face.

Okay, but here, I think that you need to drop the ball now.

You need to, because it hurts too much.

And fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice.

And just say, where do I send the Venmo?

Like, do not be in charge and see what happens.

Like, if they're now going back to designer duds, then you know it's not because you're not in charge.

There's another reason that we might have to face.

But let's not get, let's not jump to any conclusions.

Yeah, but I think it's time for you to relinquish your duties as you were not respected.

And you're not going to put up with that.

You're not a doormat.

I'm unfortunately in agreement.

All right, next up.

But I don't think it's because they don't like you.

So that's good news.

No, but we'll see like what happens next.

Like, yeah.

I don't don't want to bring that of course no after you relinquish then they'll get their shit together still i don't think it's because they didn't like you i think it's because they didn't have their shit together okay

next up dear claudia and jackie first off i could literally not survive the week without my daily dose of morning toast side note i took a road trip with my fiancé two weeks ago and he fell asleep and was abruptly woken up to it's the final story

Anyway, I'm currently planning my bachelorette party and I'm in a bit of a predicament surrounding the guest list.

I have 10 bridesmaids.

My three sisters and I are best friends and they make up much of the bridal party, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

The rest of my bridal party is some of my best friends, some of the best friends a girl could truly ask for.

On top of that, I plan on having my mom and a few other close relatives there.

I'm so sorry.

I wasn't listening at all.

Oh, God, okay.

I'm really sorry.

I was just thinking about the brew items we received.

I'm currently planning my bachelorette party, and I'm in a bit of a predicament.

I have 10 bridesmaids.

My three sisters and I are best friends, and they make up much of the bridal party, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Okay.

The rest of my bridal party is some of the best friends a girl could truly ask for.

And then on top of that, for the bachelorette party, I plan on on having my mom and a few other close relatives there.

Cute.

My issue is that I've had other people who are not in the wedding reach out asking me when the bachelorette party will be.

Some people.

Who are these people?

These people need to get together and have their own party.

No, and like we need to like send them, you know.

a presentation

as to how you behave in as a human being as a human being so when you get invited to a wedding these are friends that i may not see that often but we do speak every day or every week i do suffer from a bit of social anxiety so events like this already make me anxious I worry a lot about making sure everyone else is having a great time and I don't love everything being all about me.

I hate the idea of anyone being upset with me if they are not invited considering I do talk to these people often.

When they ask me what it is I usually just tell them we're still planning.

My question is will I regret not inviting everyone and just anyone to such a special event or should I just keep it to my close group of people?

If I don't invite them what's the best way of going about telling them since I already have a larger bridal party that I'm just gonna keep it small.

Sincerely, a social anxious who wants to please every bride and toaster.

Okay, um

If you weren't planning on inviting them, they didn't come across your mind, even though you said you were inviting people who aren't bridesmaids, then they shouldn't be there.

And you shouldn't just invite them because you feel pressure and because you don't want to be the awkward of saying no.

Like, you just need to put together a text that says what it needs to say, which is that in a polite way, you know, I'm so like honored that you would want to go on this trip for my bridal party, but I'm just keeping it to bridesmaids only and family members.

So

maybe these people don't know they're not bridesmaids.

Like, how do you say, so

not you?

So, here, I want to say one thing.

With bachelorette parties, I'm very much of the mind that truly the more the merrier.

I agree.

And so, I know that's not for everyone, but having done a bachelorette party where I had, I just invited everyone, even people who weren't bridesmaids, because it's really the more fun people, the better.

You wanted to, not because he reached out and made you feel uncomfortable.

No, but I just want to just say that.

Like, I think bachelorette parties, the more people, the more successful.

One, two,

if someone is willing, because sometimes with a bachelorette party, it's like people don't want to pay.

If somebody's willing to pay to join you to have fun, I'm more inclined to be like, sure, come.

So that's just what I want to say.

Think about that.

Like, if you, if you think that like, you actually really like these people and it's like tough for you not to invite them, like sometimes at a bachelorette party, like you'll be glad the more people you invite.

So I just want to put that out.

I do agree with you.

But if you decide that you don't want them,

then we must concoct a plan.

Yeah.

And I just think it's like just honesty is the best policy.

Yes.

I already

like have a a big group going.

And just like keep keeping to like delaying it is not helpful.

Yeah.

Say like thank you for like even wanting to come.

That's so sweet of you.

But I'm just keeping it to Bride's Amazon family.

You know, because my mom's coming, like, you can always, I love blaming things, like, blame it on your mom.

Like, my mom's coming, so it's only going to be, like, a couple girls.

No, but it's, she's going to see pictures.

She's 10 plus.

So just invite these girls.

No, because you didn't think about it.

She talks to them every day.

She said once a week, I thought.

She said she said.

She said,

These are friends that I may not see often, but we do speak every day or every week.

So we're both right.

That is what it looks like.

Okay, think about it.

If you think these girls would add value to your trip, just invite them and then you don't have to deal with the awkwardness of turning them down.

It's no expense to you.

But also, this is the time in your life to be selfish.

And

do, if you don't want them coming for whatever reason, just say, like, I'm keeping it to bridesmaids.

Thank you, though, for even like wanting to celebrate me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

Hope that was helpful.

Just invite them.

That's so cute.

Okay, you want to hear the third and final one?

Yes, I do.

I hope we this one is.

I hope we can do better for this one than we've done for the first two.

I'm not going to lie.

We've given some wishy-washy.

I think that the advice I gave in the last one was actually good.

Like just invite.

Like you'll never regret inviting like a bunch of friends somewhere.

You know what I mean?

Like you will regret not inviting if like, let's say in five years you end end up being really close with one of these.

You know what I mean?

Like, just invite.

I think that's actually good advice.

This one is actually not addressed to just us.

It's dear Jackie, Claudia, Dr.

Doo, and Brew.

I need your advoice, and I've included the boys because I would love a male perspective as well.

She needs our voice.

What?

She needs our voice.

She needs our voice?

Never mind.

You guys heard it.

Yeah, I know, but I guess let you out of it.

I guess let you out of it.

Literally, yes.

I'm like, what are you talking about?

She needs our advice, and she included the boys because she would have a male perspective.

I wish I thought of that.

She wants to include a male perspective.

Okay, okay.

When it comes to dating, I've always been super picky.

I usually know right away whether I can see a future with someone or not.

The problem is when I do find a guy I'm interested in, I fall fast and hard and get my heartbroken by someone I've known for a month.

It's pathetic, I know.

No, it's not.

Flashback to two years ago, I go on a date with a guy I met on Hinge.

I did not have that first initial obsessive all-in feeling that I usually get with guys that I'm interested in, but I figured I would give him a chance because he honestly looks good on paper and is super attractive.

And leaning into that initial intense spark I've had with guys in the past has only left me heartbroken.

I love you changing things up.

And talk about being self-fucking aware.

Yeah.

Like knowing what you're good at, what you're not good at, and enacting change.

Like I'm

seeing this course of action hurt you in the past.

I'm going to try something different, you know, good out of my comfort zone.

Exactly.

So we go on a few dates over the span of a month or so, and I really like him.

He's smart, has a great job, and has a wonderful group of friends and is the cutest dog in the world, other than Dew and Brew.

Okay.

We make the relationship official after two months, but I still don't feel that spark.

Flash forward to the present, we just celebrated our two-year anniversary and things are going great.

So I'm assuming you feel the spark.

Our lives fit perfectly.

No, I think the problem is that she doesn't.

Our lives fit perfectly.

I feel like sparkless for two years.

Why don't you let me finish and we can find out?

Our lives fit perfectly together and we talk about getting engaged and our future.

The only problem is I still don't feel that spark.

I even feel like we skipped the whole honeymoon phase because I wasn't head over heels for him.

I really love him and our life is great, but I'm just worried he's not the one.

Am I watching too many couples on TikTok and being overly critical of my own relationship?

Watch down to Nabby.

Or should I throw all of this away in the hopes of finding Mr.

Wright?

Please help and I'm sure toaster.

Okay.

This girl's so smart.

Like she knows what she's feeling might be irrational.

And you know what?

I'm here to tell you.

Like I do think it is.

I said I really love him.

I have some advice that I don't, that's probably going to sound like the wrong advice, but just hear me out, okay?

Because of course, like you should feel spark and love and honeymoon phase.

But really, most of the couples that have all of that, it doesn't equate to long-term success at all.

Or a successful marriage.

Yeah.

And so the things that you guys have in common, even though it did sound like a little superficial, but maybe I'm assuming there's more if there's two years worth of relationship here.

The things that you guys have in common are a really good foundation for a marriage, which is about more than spark.

Because as we've said, those butterflies up and leave in two fucking months.

And they change straight into gas.

And they don't come back.

And honestly, I think like if you're spending your whole life chasing a spark, like that's not a

realistic way of ending up in a long-term relationship relationships marriage commitment is about so much more than spark it's about partnership it's compatibility communication support belief in the same thing yeah same values

philosophical yep so when you say like that you don't have a spark but you respect this man and you've found a way to spend all your time with him for two days and you love him very much that's literally what she said i say that that's a pretty good foundation for marriage

And when you think about like Downton Abbey, you know, and all these marriages that were arranged arranged marriages like so many years ago, where, you know, at first there was no spark and there probably wasn't going to be spark for a long time, but eventually there was love.

Right.

And you fall so deeply in love with each other every day, every year.

And you know what?

That reminds me of Indian matchmaking.

Yes.

They started every episode of the show with this cup, with like a different couple who was, you know, really old school, arranged marriage.

And they were some of like the healthiest, funniest couples I ever saw in my life.

Not saying that this is an arranged marriage, but all I'm saying is like watching so many movies and books, like you're supposed to think that like you meet someone in that second, you get the spark and you just know.

And that's really like not how realistic marriages work.

So I do think we've become like fan, like we just fantasize and we've been like taught that a relationship is supposed to start and end in this one way.

When at the end of the day, that's just like not realistic.

Yeah.

And that's my opinion.

I agree.

I think you should marry this man.

I think you should marry this man.

And just to let us know, like, if we're right in our hypothesis, if like this could be the stuff of a really long-term successful marriage.

And I wish you honestly the best of luck with that because not many people have it.

But it really sounds all really fabulous.

And you sound like a great girl with like such a great head on her shoulders.

Yeah.

Love that for you.
