Good morning, Millennials.
Welcome back to the Morning Toast.
Happy Wednesday.
It is hump day.
So don't forget to hump someone you love, whether that is your partner, your dog.
No judgment here.
No judgment.
It's a beautiful hump day.
I personally feel like this week is going by slowly and that it should be Thursday.
That's how I feel.
Yeah, it's definitely feeling like a Thursday vibe on a Wednesday, which is really not great.
No, it's not great.
You never want that for your week, but hump day is always a reason to celebrate.
It is a little too hot to be out here humping.
Humping.
Oh my God, you guys.
The heat wave is reaching astronomical levels.
I do feel like it is causing people to go like a little bit crazy.
People in the street are just acting nuts.
More so than the average, you know, New York street walker.
Yeah, wow.
Nuts streetwalker.
Didn't think it could get crazier.
Walker on the streets.
Yeah, nuts.
Yeah, thank you.
It's so fucking hot.
I know a lot of places are just like, guys.
We're gonna get through this.
We fucking better.
Yeah, but if we get through it with a stormy weekend, I'll be annoyed.
Yeah, cuz we have a long weekend ahead of us.
Everybody has a long weekend ahead of them.
And that's always something to look forward to.
And life is all about having moments of things to look forward to.
And now Claudia and I finally have something to look forward to because as of like 11 o'clock last night, we planned our weekend.
Yeah.
I just want to say like we were going back and forth for the last week about like what to do, which house to choose.
Should we stay at a hotel?
Where should we go?
And it was honestly weighing really heavy on me.
Like when I woke up in the morning, it was the first thing I thought about because I'm like, I will not be stuck in the city for July 4th.
Like I just won't.
But at the rate we were going, like we were going to be stuck in the city for July 4th.
So you were feeling brighter?
I was was feeling brighter.
It's also just like such an expensive weekend, but we got such a good deal.
Like, I feel really good about our decision.
I feel really good.
And the boys will be there due and brew.
And I'm excited for the bonding they're going to share.
I think they're going to swim a little doggy paddle.
I think it's going to be so amazing for
their development.
So we hope you guys have your plans checked out.
And if you don't, this is your sign.
There's literally one more day.
Like, girl, like, get a share.
How do you get it?
I think we're the only people on earth who like didn't have a plan in 2010.
100%.
Everyone like has their shit together when it comes to July 4th.
Yeah, I know.
And it's like
we usually do, but we're fine.
We're fine.
I never do.
We have a good show for you guys today.
Not gonna lie.
Like, let's be upfront.
You know, the stories, they're not very good.
They're not.
But you know what?
We have gotten Monday and Tuesday, both two days with really good stories, like juiciness coming out
of the stories.
And so today is slightly mindless, just like nothing crazy.
But we do have deer toasters, which always makes the episode so good.
And we have have
TV recap, Real Housewise of New York, which is really turning into like not a very good show.
No, no, no, not good at all.
There's no drama.
No, not good at all.
Where is the drama?
I don't know.
Someone throw a glass.
I really was like...
Really thinking about how I could end my tenure of watching the show.
That's what I was thinking about while I was watching it.
Like, how could I get away with no longer watching the show?
And it's sex because like there are some franchises when the episodes like aren't juicy or anything.
Like I still enjoy.
But I just think this group is kind of like a rundown.
Look, with a lot of the women, and I, it's 100% time for a refresh.
I've said this once, I've said it again.
They're getting to OC levels of sadness, like, they really are.
I don't think we need a whole refresh, but five cast members on any show is just not enough.
I don't know why they don't add more people to the mix and then see what happens from there.
Like, I feel like Beverly Hills, we have eight women.
It's a lot, yeah.
No, but there's so much, there's so many dynamics happening.
Like, no, it's better.
Yeah.
So, anyways, we have your recap, but if this was a sneak peek, like we weren't thrilled.
Yeah.
But
I have nothing else to share.
Oh, actually, that's not true.
Yesterday was such a busy day.
Meetings, meetings, meetings, podcasts, podcasts, podcasts.
Meetings, meetings, meetings.
Literally for me, I did three podcasts yesterday plus a vlog.
Right.
So I posted yesterday my getting ready hair and makeup tutorial, how I get ready every day for the show.
Obviously, my hair is up today, but I show you how I blow it out every day.
And I think people are really enjoying it.
You know, it's just some some good beauty content I think you know when you watch a YouTube tutorial and it makes you like want to like redo your whole routine and like try new techniques and try new products.
That's what I felt watching the video.
What did you take away from it?
Well, I was really interested in how you do your eyeshadow because I just didn't know that you did that, you know, like you smoke out your under eye for the toast.
Like that was just a crazy thing I didn't know about you.
Very lightly.
I guess, is that what it's called, smoking out?
Yeah, and you're also like so self-conscious about your eyebrows.
Like you didn't stop touching them and talking about them.
And like, girl, they're really not that bad like you have to get over it so it's just like it's always going to plague me like ever since I was a youngin like my eyebrows just are my cross to bear and I feel like you were talking about them a lot just so like people wouldn't comment on them like you're aware because I've gotten so many comments like they've they beat me down about 10% like now this is the result do you know what I saw in that vlog a broken woman like literally like you were so fucking self-conscious about your eyebrows and I swear to God there was literally nothing wrong with them I was like she's like this one's so much better than the other I'm like they literally look the same same.
That is so funny.
Well, thank you for that.
And also, if you did feel like influenced to do anything that I do, I linked every single product.
Like I went out there, I got the links and I shared them with you.
So I got, I have some good products, I think.
That eyeshadow palette that I use, I just got.
And I just think the colors are stunning.
Tartlet juicy palette.
Because I saw a makeup artist had it and she used it on me.
And like, the colors just really worked for me.
And then I just went out and got it for myself.
She was actually going to give it to me, which was so nice.
Oh, that is so nice.
And I was just like, I can't accept, but I'll go get it for myself.
Speaking of Patreon, we have another episode dropping today.
It's the fifth of the month, and it's kind of like the one everyone's been waiting for.
You know, it is a sit-down interview one year later.
with Olivia Ashray, aka Michaela's mom.
And we really got deep into it.
She teared up at one point and so did I.
Like it was really beautiful.
Everyone got their questions answered about motherhood, about going back to work, about Michaela, about the podcast, maternity live, about Olivia choosing not to share pictures of Michaela on social media.
Like so much.
We really covered everything and it was a really, really, really like, honestly, like emotional episode.
Wow.
I am so excited to listen to it.
And then you have the pleasure of listening to the Redheads episode.
See, content, content, content, meetings, meetings, meetings, podcasts, podcasts, podcasts.
And also, like, with this long weekend ahead of us, like, we didn't want to leave you guys stranded.
There is so much content to get you from Thursday to Tuesday, though.
I hope you guys will be having so much fun that like, you know, the content can wait till the following week.
Yeah, so this is a good time to tell you guys like we're taking off Friday and Monday.
Yeah, because we were just feeling out like what the corporate world was doing and it seems as though like that's what people are doing.
Yeah.
And we're really looking forward to doing that as well we adhere to the morgan stanley like a holiday calendar so we really do so i'm excited to listen to olivia on the patreon redheads episode drops tomorrow we recorded last night and it is flames truly the girls are just like
the girls are on one we gave them pizza before we started recording i was gonna ask you if you think everyone was on one because usually you guys go to dinner afterwards and i'm sure you're just like hungry and kind of depleted when you do the podcast but we ordered two pies of pizza before the redheads arrived and then everyone had like two slices before do you think that made a difference you know i do but i don't want to say that like in any other episode we we are depleted and hungry because like once those mics turn on the girls turn on like we're so
we're so passionate honestly and i i think actually in last night's episode like the passion is jumping through the micropable it's palpable also because like we're all talking about this book that we all really like and then we're just talking about books that we like in general and you can really feel the passion i swear you know a book i really liked
girls in a job the crazy beautiful life of of an Instagram Thirst Monster.
A New York Times bestseller available really anywhere.
Audiobook, e-book, Amazon, Kindle, Barnes, and Noble Books a Million.
You get it in Canada.
It's really like people are kind of still quaking over it.
So it's the book of the summer, Reese Witherspoon said.
So check it out.
Check it out.
It's a great beach read and for your long weekend.
I couldn't recommend a better book.
And if you don't like reading,
there's pictures in the middle.
Is this book upside down?
Yes, it is.
Okay.
If you don't like reading, you can get the book on Audible.
That's pleased.
Yes, Jackie.
Make the sale.
Make the book.
And you know what?
You can actually go to audible.com slash redhead because we have a promo code for you.
You do?
We work with Audible.
Yeah.
Oh, so you can get a promo code on my book?
On any Audible.
No, on my book.
Sure, sure, sure.
Yeah, it's vertical integration.
Get Claudia's book on Audible if you don't like to read, but go to audible.com slash redheads.
Oh, didn't know we got a code.
How legit are you guys working with Audible?
No, totally.
Our sponsors for the episode guys were actually like really great and so booky.
You love to see your passion projects becoming like full-blown empires, you know?
You really do.
No, you really, really do.
That's how passionate I feel about the Redheads.
And I, you know, I see the numbers.
I see how many people listen to the toast.
I see how many people listen to the redheads.
And I'll say that there are some people that don't listen to the redheads, that listen to the toast.
And I just want to implore you.
You're missing out.
I agree.
You're missing out.
And then also yesterday I was on another TNN podcast that I'm pretty sure drops today, but just in case it doesn't, I will get back to you.
Get back.
No, but I'm pretty sure that does.
I just like, it does.
Okay, I'm on mood with Marlon Elizabeth today.
We're talking all about wellness, like the journey, where I'm at now, because I was like so hard on wellness when I got back.
And like, now I'm in a place where I'm, I'm, you know, um, well, I'm well, and I'm just maintaining wellness.
And we had such a good conversation.
I had so much fun talking to her.
I hadn't been on mood since pre-pandemic.
So I really think like if you were to listen to that episode and then this episode, she's a whole new two different gals.
Yeah, I was just talking about how like if you told me two years ago, like I was going to go on a wellness retreat and I was going to be into all of these things, I was gonna have a Peloton bike in my house I'd be like ish Am I okay?
Yeah, am I okay in two years?
But see like that's the thing like we're constantly growing we do it every day
We're growing in the evening and even when we play and if we grow a little
we can do more things because
such a good song and such a good message 100% to the kids growth.
We've got a great show.
I'm ready to dive into the I would would say, medium, slow, five stories today.
Dragged out,
unnecessary.
Oh, my God.
I'm kidding.
You know, we always pull through for you guys, but just some days hit different than others.
It's not her fault.
Like, nobody decided to, you know, announce a pregnancy.
But even that's like, that's not my favorite kind of news to talk about.
It's actually my least favorite news.
What's there to say?
Congrats.
Like, some stories are just, even though they might be super interesting, they're impossible to report on for more than 90 seconds.
Yeah, like, stories.
I'm so happy for her.
Yeah, it's like, great.
Stories that are like pregnancy news, like that, like sad news.
What is your favorite kind of story?
I'm so glad you asked.
I love a layered story.
That's just, that really sums you up as a person because you are a layered person.
No, I like something that like you don't really know about, but I'm an expert in, like, the frenemies drama.
I love
explaining things to you.
Anything having to do with like internet drama is like where I thrive.
Interesting.
And if anybody wants to start any internet internet drama with me,
I'm so down.
Just let me know where we meet up and I'll start talking shit about you on the podcast.
Tanamonjo, bitch.
Okay.
No, I'm kidding.
I love you.
But like if you want to start beef, I'll do it.
Okay, cool, cool.
I'm Jeffree Star.
Boom.
No, I'm kidding.
Okay.
Please don't go for me.
Yeah, you couldn't handle it for one fucking second.
Do I literally cry in my room?
Yeah.
Take a seat.
Okay, well, I guess.
What are your favorite kinds of stories?
I don't know.
I'm trying to think.
I'm trying.
Honestly, like, I really like the Suez Canal.
Like,
I miss those.
That is my favorite kind of story.
Suez news.
Global being a part of something.
Global being a part.
That is my favorite kind of news.
And also, like, you know, interesting, like, we're learning stuff here, news.
Maybe we're sharing with you.
We're giving you something to talk about at the dinner table on a date.
Like, that's really my favorite kind of news.
And you know what news I actually don't like is when our opinions like are not valued or like people like get mad at us for our opinions.
Like, I remember when we reported on
the call her daddy situation, a lot of people didn't agree with us, and they were like, Coming for us, it's like, yeah, girl, it's not that serious.
No, and I also like this isn't a type of story, but I really do like having um podcast news.
Oh, no, no, no, that I always like, yeah, for sure.
And I don't want to say like an unpopular opinion, but I really like presenting all different sorts of opinions.
Well, you are literally like the queen of
unpopular opinions land.
Like, you literally live there full-time.
Um, and I don't know if you believe those opinions, or you just want to be contrarian sometimes.
I don't know.
I don't think I'm a contrarian type of person.
I just really think it's important to look at something from like all different POVs.
I agree, especially with like internet stuff.
Everyone piles onto one side and just like takes a side because that's what they heard, not because like that's what they believe.
Right.
So, that's just something that's important to me.
It's so important to do things that are important to you.
So, I support you 100%.
100%.
And so, I think like we've circled the dreams.
Yeah, let's go now.
We've avoided the stories as long as we could.
So without further ado, did it do, where are you?
Right here being perfect on hump day, ready to be hummed by his mum.
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.
Oh.
Ooh.
My breath smells grut.
Great.
Thanks to Bruce.
I was going to say my breath smells group because it's like bruges.
Yeah.
Whatever.

First story, TLC officially cancels Counting On, drops the Duggar family after Josh Duggar's recent arrest we actually spoke this week about we were looking for a little dugger update I know but this is like the update that I thought was literally 10 years old I had no idea the duggers were still on TV and honestly shame on TLC because When the first Josh Duggar incident happened like years ago, they made a whole statement like we will not be working with the Duggars.
They canceled 19 Kids and Counting.
Okay.
And then they gave them a show called Fineteen Fins and Founting.
Like they just gave them a counting on.
So they just like kind of swerved on us.
and not that it's comparable, but like I'm still really upset that honey boo-boo got canceled when the reason they got canceled was because the woman that Mama June was sorry the man that Mama June was dating Sugar Bear had like gotten arrested for something fucking gross and
They like didn't even give them another chance but like the duggers got another chance and it's like bring back honey boo-boo literally the best show of all time sugar bear hair care
I heard he was the inspiration for that brand.
Like, he was all over the mood board.
Yeah, 100%.
So TLC put out a statement saying TLC will not be producing additional seasons of Counting On.
TLC feels it's important to give the Duggar family the opportunity to address their situation privately.
Okay, so first it was 19 kids and counting.
That got canceled.
Now it was Counting On, and now they got it canceled.
So what's next?
Counting?
Like 20 plus.
Yeah, literally.
Like...
Or no, because they have to get rid of Josh and his wife.
So it's like down to 17.
Yay.
Yeah.
So I'm just like, this is really shady of TLC because the same exact thing, they released a statement.
statement, the same exact thing happened the first time it happened with Josh Duggar, and that wasn't the end of the show.
So they're just like shady little liars.
Yeah, for sure.
You dirty little liar.
For sure.
What movie is that from?
I don't know.
But I.
What?
Okay, I'll do some context.
Okay, thank you.
You dirt.
I pop out of the sunroof of a car.
Mean girls.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Really good.
Trades.
You dirty little liar.
So honestly,
great.
This is like an update in in the case.
I heard that Josh Duggar's like hearing got pushed back to November.
So he's just like chilling until then.
And I don't know.
I have no peace from this story.
None whatsoever.
And TLC like claiming to do the right thing after they really should have and could have done it and pretended to do it 10 years ago or however many years ago his first incident was.
I don't know.
This is the morally corrupt TLC network, and I don't stand for it.
100%.
And also bring back honey boo-boo.
That is really the message here.
Yeah, I think that's it.
It was like her stepdad who was acting acting inappropriate.
So just like take him off the show.
Yeah.
The show's not even about him.
It's literally about Alana and literally called Honey Moo-Boo.
Was that what the show was called?
I think so.
I think so.
That was, can we just talk for a minute about how good of a show that was?
Like, they literally used subtitles, even though everyone was speaking English.
Like, it was the craziest fucking show.
Like, true.
I don't even, like, I don't even know.
It was just like family values.
Like, they were just so disgusting.
Like, they would have mayo eating contests and, like, literally, one of kids like had an extra toe.
Like it was just wild.
Like
here comes honey boo-boo.
That's what the show is called.
I bet you it's on like what's the TLC streaming platform?
Discovery Plus.
Ooh, gotta sign up.
Right.
That sounds right.
It actually doesn't sound right.
It sounds right.
Actually, it does sound right.
That's like married at first sight and everything.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I just think I know there's a small but mighty community of us who watched that show and who loved it.
And I do believe me and our sister Olivia like were the two biggest fans of the show.
And I was really devastated when it got canceled.
But apparently TLC has no morals, so they should just bring it back.
Yeah.
Honey Boo-Boo's been in the news recently, too.
They have no scruples.
About what?
I don't know.
I just feel like she's been doing interviews.
Good.
She's literally a star.
And the world refuses to recognize it just because she doesn't fit the prototype for what we think of a star.
But she's literally going to be the next.
Jojo SeaWa.
Like, she's a star.
But she was the first.
And I've been saying this for years.
She was the first.
Yeah, but she's not as kid-friendly as JoJo Jojosi was.
She like curses and shit.
Yeah.
I'm just saying, don't count out the boo-boo.
I fucking love her.
Okay, next story.
That's so Ravens Kyle Massey has been charged with felony for immoral communication with a teenage girl.
Corey?
Corey.
In the house?
Yep, Washington state prosecutors accused him of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes, according to a June 14th filing obtained by e-news.
The That's O'Raven actor, now 29, allegedly communicated with the young girl during a two-month period between December 1st, 2018 and January 31st, 2019.
The girl who e-news has chosen not to identify by name was 13 years old at the time and is now 16.
Like, honestly, what is with everyone?
We've got Drake Bell, Josh Duggar, Kyle Massey, Jerry from Cheer.
Like, everyone.
This is hard.
What the fuck is wrong with people?
I have no idea.
Texting a 13-year-old?
What are you doing, you freak?
Massey allegedly believed she was a minor when he electronically communicated with her for immoral purposes of a sexual nature.
Quote, you know, this is like becoming something we frequently report on.
Like, I just want to vomit, like, it's disgusting.
And I just want to add it to the list of things that I don't enjoy reporting on.
Oh, I'm so glad you said that 100% because it's really sick.
It's so
how many different ways can you say sick, disgusting, twisted?
Yeah.
And I guess the theme between all the people is like, they're all people who got famous when they were like kids, like Drake Bell, Kyle Massey, Josh Duggar.
Not so much Jerry, but.
Well, he's out at college.
Yeah.
It's just, it's so sick.
And I'm really, like, really over-reporting on this.
So, if everyone could just, like, start talking to people their own age, I would really appreciate that.
I think that's a really good message.
Yeah, just like, you know, stay in your lane.
Like, play with people your own age.
Talk to people your own age.
It's so twisted.
And I'm so sad because I loved Corey in the house.
Like, now, like, that whole part of my childhood is completely ruined.
Like, and I can never re-watch Atso Raven without thinking.
Yeah, so many parts of childhood have been ruined.
100%.
Seventh Heaven?
Ruined?
Absolutely ruined.
What else?
Oh, The Cosby Show.
Ruined.
Ruined.
We could make a whole list.
Let me think.
Hold on.
What was like, really, the Seventh Heaven one was like the big.
The big one.
The big one, yeah.
Drop it in the comments.
What's been ruined for you?
Yeah.
Are we ready for our next story?
Sure.
A little.
Age-appropriate news.
Thank God.
Yes.
Sex life co-stars Sarah Shahi and Adam Deimos are dating IRL.
Okay, we need to talk about sex life because I'm sure, like many of you, I went home,
put up Netflix, went to episode three, minute 20, and saw a big penis yesterday.
Big penis.
A very big penis.
And I was glad that I was a part of that moment, you know.
Culturally.
Culturally, then I saw the TikTok that everyone was experiencing this.
And I'm sure if you were just like, innocently watching this show on Netflix, that penis hits different.
Episode three, minute 20.
And I was prepared, you know?
Did you go back and watch some of the show?
No, I did not have the time.
Like I said, three podcasts, meetings, meetings, meetings yesterday.
But you made it a priority to go home and just watch the penis.
Of course, because like we said, research.
Research.
We are all in on research here.
Sorry, we're so devoted to our jobs.
Like, it's not our fault.
But I did feel like now I want to watch more of this show.
I would love to get your opinion on the actual show because it's like so stupid.
I know.
But I did find it really interesting that these two people are dating now.
And I read like an article that she kind of detailed how they met.
You know, we met the first day in the makeup trailer and it was just over, you know?
And it's like, girl, no.
Like, we know why.
We know when it was over.
Just be real with us.
Just about episode three minute 20.
Just be real with us, woman to woman.
Like, we know, it's fine.
Let's not make it something that's not.
Also, what I didn't realize, because I wasn't looking at his face when
he turned around, was that he is the actor from Unreal.
He plays like that, the Bachelor, the Australian Bachelor, and he's in your least favorite movie, Falling in Love, that
Christina.
Christina Million in Netflix.
Villain's Netflix movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is he the guy who fixes up the house?
Or is he like the villain?
No, I think he's the guy who fixes up the house.
And then they fall in love with him.
I'm so glad he's obviously like hitting a stride recently in his work.
Yeah, no.
And
I think it's cool.
Like those movies and shows are all very similar, that like Hallmark lifetime vibe.
And it's like, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
He's got a niche.
He does.
And I'm glad he's also found one.
Can I say that?
Like, when I put out my story yesterday, like, brand new episode of The Morning Toast is up.
I talk about the 15-inch penis I saw yesterday.
I got 1,000 messages from like my girlfriends and my like gay friends being like, where's this penis?
I'm like, episode three, minute 20.
That is so funny.
I, so I posted on my story, I'm sure you saw like me go
me going to the show, but until you got to the second story, like you didn't realize that I was going to something specific.
So one of my friends was like to me, oh my god, I've been looking for a new show.
Should I start this?
Yeah, until it started episode three minutes, 20 minutes.
Immediately responded, oh, okay.
So, so they're dating, yes, they are dating in real life.
Also, what I did watch last night, I watched the first episode of Too Hot to Handle.
Oh, what did you think?
I thought that everything that you said was totally on point.
Who do you like?
Who do you not like?
Um, Love Melinda,
I, okay, so as far as the guys, I they're so like, honestly, all unremarkable.
Like, I know, and I just kind of always feel that way.
Even like when I watch Love Island,
I just feel like they are kind of, I can't remember everyone's name, but I really like the French guy.
Oh, Martin.
He's so cute.
And really a nice guy.
And I like the stripper cowboy.
I think it's an Englishman.
Nathan?
No.
No.
I don't think so.
Gregory?
No.
Charles?
No.
David?
Matthew?
Yeah, whatever.
The blonde guy.
He, for some reason, like
just totally overlooked.
Yeah, and still is.
Like, literally, it's so sad.
Like, to me, he's the hottest one.
Yeah.
And no one can give less of a shit about it.
It's so funny, like, to hear, like, to see everyone come down.
You obviously form your own opinions of who you think is the best looking.
And then when they break off into groups and they talk about who everyone's interested in, like, I personally thought the girl who came in last.
Kayla.
Kayla.
I thought she was, like, so stunning and no one even mentioned her.
Jackie, she literally might as well not be on the show.
It's the most shocking thing because she's the prettiest one.
That's crazy.
But then it also goes to show you how much like, yes, all these people are so hot to the point of like, you can't even compare them.
Everyone's hot.
It's all about personality.
Like, that's really, like, it's really how you differentiate yourself.
How stunning is Emily?
Emily is British, like, really into that fuckboy cam.
Green bikini when she arrived.
Do you think I remember her?
Half up, half-down hair.
Still don't know.
British, yes.
Brunette.
Yeah.
British, really tall, really tan.
Yeah, yeah.
Stunning.
Yeah.
Stunning.
Everyone is stunning.
So you have to like be, have more to you than that.
100%.
Which I always find interesting.
I feel the same about Love Island.
It's like the hottest person can come down, but like they don't connect with anyone.
Like you have to also have a personality.
And they're boring.
And that's why I think Melinda is my favorite because she's literally like maybe one of the prettiest girls I've ever seen in my life.
But she's so funny.
She borders on like a little annoying, which I relate to because that is my personality.
But she's bubbly and she's effervescent and she's a great gal.
Yeah, she really is.
So I'm excited to keep watching that.
I'll miss Jeff Dye though.
I was looking forward to getting to know him.
Wasn't Wasn't that funny?
That was funny.
And wasn't it cool how people now knew the show?
Like, oh my God, we'ren't too out to handle not like what?
Yeah.
I like that.
For sure.

Thank you, Claudia.
Okay, give me that set of facts you were excited about.
Okay, cool.
The Devil wears Prada is turning 15 years old.
So here are eight facts you didn't know about the movie until now.
Can I guess?
Sure.
Ann Hathaway had to audition nine times for the role.
The first one, Ann Hathaway, wasn't the first choice for Andy, which we know.
Scarlett Johansson was, Rachel McAdams was.
I've heard that over the years.
And we spoke about that like literally last week.
So, but I think the other facts I personally didn't know.
Okay.
So I'm going to share with you.
Timmy.
Second one.
No designers wanted to lend clothes to the movie.
The iconic costume designer Patricia Field was in charge of the film's fashion, but despite her status, Couture Houses hesitated to lend pieces for fear of upsetting the powers that be at vogue.
Oh, that's actually really interesting.
Isn't that an interesting fact?
And you know what?
I was watching a TikTok yesterday about a girl who used to be be anna winter's assistant and it was like five things i learned here's how i got the job as anna winter's assistant and do you know her name is anna winter
no that's what the girl said it's literally winter like this season i feel like she like did that on purpose no so it's like spell it with an a yeah no i feel like she was like meant to be winter and then she liked how winter i'm just saying like that vibe that does make sense and also i will I challenge anyone to show me a movie that was designed by Patricia Field that wasn't an iconic classic.
Right.
Like if I were, you know, an editor and they were like, Patricia Field is doing a movie.
Do you want to land close?
I would be like, 150%.
And, like, for when, obviously, the movie About My Life does hit theaters, Patricia Field will be the costume designer.
You think so?
100%.
Okay, cool.
She just really knows how to like capture, in essence, the moment.
Yeah.
Okay, next one.
Fact we didn't know, but makes total sense.
Stanley Tucci was the secret weapon.
The score script was already pretty sharp, but Tucci took things to the next level, often improvising moments for his character that
made the cast crack up.
Gird Your Loins, as Miranda approaches, was one of them.
It was an improv?
Yep.
Gird your loins.
That's so interesting.
And he really is the best part of the movie.
Who would you say is your favorite character in the movie?
I really like.
Okay, I need to think about it.
I do like, I love Stanley Chu Chi, obviously, too.
Because also, like, when you sit next to him on a plane one time, and then you did not sit next to him on the plane.
You just sat next to a bald man.
And then you watch the movie, like, it does hit different.
No, it does.
Jackie, okay.
okay you did not
you were in coach i think i was in i was in economy plus
and i think i sat next to the guy from kingsman i do fine if we're being honest okay if we're yeah let's be honest because it's so important but there's nothing to say that it wasn't stanley tucci no there's facts to say i really had three witnesses me margo and olivia i think it was merlin from the kingsman i really do okay i actually could see that yeah
um
no okay so we can't decide who our favorite is but i think we can all decide who our least favorite is.
Three, two, one.
Adrian Grinier.
And he actually did an interview recently about how, like, how we've all grown up with this movie now, 15 years later, and we realized like her boyfriend was so not supportive and like kind of an asshole.
And she like bent over backwards for him.
And he did an interview, and he was like, Yeah, no, like, you know, what's his name in the movie?
Matt?
Nate.
Nate.
Wow.
Good memory.
Nate was like really immature.
He hadn't developed yet.
Like, they did this whole interview, like, on how the character was low-key, like the fucking worst.
Yeah, he thought he made a grilled cheese, so all is forgiven.
Yeah.
It's like $8 of Yarlsberg.
Like, okay, well, don't be wasteful.
You eat it.
She's watching her weight.
Like, don't be a dick.
Yes, be supportive.
Don't be temptation in my life.
Well, mystery.
No, like, yeah, I can literally write like a dissertation on Nate.
Hundreds.
So toxic.
But I do think if he had been played by someone else, he would have come off better.
I do think that.
Adrian Grigneer, like, and I've, I really have, I love Entourage.
He has such an annoying face.
I really like Entourage.
I hate Vinny Chase.
Hate.
Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.
Loathe entirely.
Like, literally fucking hate.
The worst character on planet Earth.
And I'm obsessed with Mark Wahlberg.
And Vinny Chase is, like, loosely based off of Mark Wahlberg.
Not even loosely.
And, like, it makes me think if I was ever in a room with Mark Wahlberg, like, we would not get along.
No.
And that obsesses.
Like, everything Adrian touches.
Ruins.
He ruins straws.
Ruins.
Welcome here with my plastic straw tumbler coming soon.
Are you ready for our next fact?
Miranda Priestley's office was a dead ringer for its inspiration.
Okay.
That makes sense.
He was able to recreate the office so authentically that the designer was told Anna redecorated hers immediately after the movie came out.
Do you think that like that's her cross to bear?
That's like that movie?
Well,
probably,
but I feel like she comes off in the movie.
Not bad.
Really, like, that's what you would expect from the editor.
A vogue.
She's like harsh, but she's not cruel.
And like, I feel like Miranda, because it is a movie, like, she has those moments of humanity.
Do you think Meryl Streep has ever been to the Met Gala or since that movie came out?
Or do you think she's like banned?
Because that was a brave thing to do, to play Anna Winter.
So brave.
I don't know if I could do it.
I'm Googling right now.
Like, do any pictures come up of her at the Met Gala?
Meryl Streep Met Gala.
She will attend her first ever Met Gala next May, and that was in November of 2019.
So she never got to go.
So yeah, she's never been to a Met Gala.
That's actually really interesting.
That is really interesting.
Wow.
I guess.
Anna doesn't seem like the type of person who, she does seem like the type of person who holds grudges.
Yes, but this next fact is that Anna Wintour had a sense of humor about it.
Despite the biting parody of her intimidating workplace persona, the cast and crew remembers her poking a little fun at herself during the premiere.
She sat right in front of me and David with her daughter and wore Prada.
I remember her daughter nudging her through the screen like, they got that right.
And years later, Meryl Street filmed a video for Vogue in Anna's office in which the two women made a few subtle nods to their shared history.
Oh, okay, okay, so it's all good.
So it's all good.
Okay.
So Anna went to the premiere.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, I didn't know that.
And she wore Prada.
Oh, because the Devil wears Prada.
Do you think that Anna and Lauren Weisberger, the girl who wrote the book, are cool?
Well, if you read When Life Gives You Lululemons, like Emily, who's based on her, no, she's Andy.
No, it's Emily.
Who wrote the book?
The Andy character?
No, Emily.
Wrote Devil Aware's Prada?
Oh, that's a good question.
Andy, I think.
Yeah, she was like a writer girl.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then she wrote a different book from Emily's perspective where Emily is in good graces with Anna.
Anna, but Lauren Weisberger is the Andy character.
Yeah, and there's no mention of Andy, really.
When Life Gives You Lululemons is a really good book.
It is a really good book.
And I think everyone should read it and not read
it.
The one after it.
She wrote Devil Arrows Prada, then an Emily P.O.V.
after Vogue, and it was really good called When Life Gives You Lily Lemons, and then some random fucking book that just came out, and it stinks.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Speaking of Emily, Emily Blunt says comfort was key.
The shoes had to be punishing in keeping with the high-fashion world of Vogue, which meant that Blunt and Streep were always excited for their close-up.
Any chance Meryl and I had, I know we were in Uggs in most of the shots from the waist up.
Cool.
I love Emily Blunt.
Oh, do you know the most best thing ever?
I feel like a lot of people don't know this.
Emily Blunt has a sister.
Yes.
Her sister is married to Stanley Chuce.
Yes.
Felicity Blunt or whatever.
That's such a fabulous little Hollywood what?
No, when I was sitting next to Stanley on the shut the fuck off.
He was going on and on about Felicity.
His sister-in-law.
Yeah.
His sister-in-law and her sister-in-law.
Yeah, no, for sure.
Yeah, so.
So I just feel like a lot of people didn't know that.
Do you think they met?
Not that I did.
Do you think they met 15 years ago, like on the set through Emily?
I actually do think.
I think it could be possible.
They did.
Okay, that should be a fact in this factory.
Yeah, this, oh, the shoes we wore us.
Who fucking cares?
It's like this person had two good facts about the movie, and then they had to put together a listicle, and they're like, what's the least we could do?
Eight facts?
Totally.
I'm going to give you the last two, which was Meryl Streep went method for the role and regretted it.
She, in an attempt to make herself more intimidating on screen, she removed herself from the cast's interaction.
She says it was horrible.
I was miserable in my trailer.
I can hear them all rocking and laughing.
I was so depressed.
That's the last time I ever attempted a method acting.
Oh, that's interesting.
That is interesting.
And then the last fact is that Adrian Grignet knows you think Nate is the villain.
And it's good what you just said.
I was just as immature as him at the time, so I couldn't see his shortcomings.
But after taking time to reflect and much deliberation online, I can realize the truth in that perspective.
Okay, good.
I'm so glad we're all on the same page.
Yeah, no, I mean, it's such a good movie.
It's so iconic.
I love fun facts about movies.
Me too.
You know, there weren't that many stories.
And you know what?
Devil Wears Prada is one of those E-movies we love that I actually can stand watching.
Like, E has the rights, like the license to four movies, and Devil Wears Prada is one of them.
And when it's on, I will never not watch it.
Yeah, I agree.
And they really do use the term love loosely, though I do love the Devil Wears Prada.
And you know what my favorite scene is, obviously?
When she finally gets her makeover and then she's like walking to work and like the subway passes and she's in a new outfit, she walks past a tree and there's a new outfit.
Oh, yeah, like that's always good.
And like whenever I hear that song, I can't think of anything other than Devil Wars Prada.
Suddenly, I, suddenly, I see, this is what I want to be.
Suddenly, I, suddenly, I see
why the hell it means so much to me.
Suddenly, and by the way, my whole life, I thought the guy, Christian, who like takes her to Paris and like tries to kiss her and she fucks or whatever.
I literally, my whole life, like you could not tell me differently, thought that was Billy Bush.
We know.
We know.
Okay.
And it's not.
But I could see how you
thought that.
Okay.
It is.
Yeah.
I was like, wow, good for that guy on Access Hollywood.
We've got a real job.
Are you ready for our fifth and final story?
I am.
Okay.
Me too.
Good.
We're both ready.
I love being ready.
Okay, fifth and final story.
Netflix acknowledges lazy viewers by allowing us to watch partially downloaded content offline.
So, you know, when you would try and download a show for your flight and not the whole thing downloads, and you're like, fuck, if only I started sooner and didn't wait till I was on airport Wi-Fi, now if something is partially downloaded, you will be able to watch it.
This is great, of course.
I just really need
there to be some sort of Netflix
airline partnership.
Like JetBlue has Amazon Prime Video, so if you have the Prime Video app and you connect to the JetBlue Wi-Fi, you can watch anything.
And it's the only airline that has that with a streaming service, and it's so stupid.
Like everyone should have it.
It's the best thing ever.
Yeah.
I don't know.
But I'm that girl.
Watching stuff on planes is like so
you miss so much.
Yes, but I just have to say, like, this applies to me.
Like, I'm that girl.
Like, I'm, I'm hotspotting my iPad to my phone while I'm boarding to try and download.
So this is helpful for sure.
For sure.
But it's not,
it's not the end.
Like, there's more that can be done to help travelers watch Netflix.
Maybe also like reducing download time.
Yes.
Things of that nature.
Figuring it out.
Yeah.
100%.
And also, what's with like if you download something three times, like you can't ever download it again?
Yes.
Fuck.
So too.
Yes.
On my iPad, it's so annoying.
Like you've already downloaded too many things today.
Like, what is this?
Parental controls?
No, no, no.
Or like sometimes I download something for a flight, it expires.
I don't watch it.
The next time I'll download it again.
And then like it says you've exceeded the downloads.
Like I can't download it again.
Yeah.
But why?
Yeah, who made up those rules?
That's kind of garbage.
Agreed.
Well, maybe they'll hear our cries.
Well, those are the best five stories, and you definitely did not need to know them, but I do hope you enjoyed your time with us.
I think that you probably did.
And the show's not even close to over because we've got the TV recap segment.
Real House House of New York was on last night.
The ladies went to Harlem.
Sonia got really drunk.
Ebony and Ramona had an insane conversation, but ended on weirdly good terms.
Yeah.
And we met Bernan Shaw, who I actually really appreciated her energy.
Like when she was talking to Leah about how she was literally diagnosed with cancer 13 years ago and was given four months to live, and now she's 13 years in remission and how she just has like this whole new Lease on life.
She's like, I do whatever the fuck I want.
Like, I don't care what anyone thinks about me.
I'm like, I live for your energy.
And is she friend of?
Because she goes on the trip.
Salem, yeah.
And Salem's next week?
Yeah.
Oh, so maybe she's like a friend of, maybe they're listening to our cries and bringing in more people.
There's such a desperate need for new people.
And I feel like she's an interesting gal.
Like, I did enjoy her.
I enjoyed her a lot.
I thought she was really funny.
And I'm glad that she's going on the trip because we need like new energy, new personalities, everything.
I really can't even remember what else happened.
Luanne had a a conversation with her daughter who's now also sober for a year and a half.
And I guess I didn't even realize that Luann's dad struggled with alcoholism and it definitely runs in her family.
Yeah, when she said like he's the river that runs through my life, I was like, that's deep.
And so now Victoria being sober is like...
I think really good for Luann.
I really, I just get the vibe from Luann for the last couple seasons.
Like she's sober on the show and then she's not sober.
But I don't think that's the case now.
I hope so.
But I, yeah, I get that vibe too, but I really feel like now she tried to, you know, do it surface level and just like for appearances.
And then she really had to learn on her own and in her own way that like, no, she needs to be sober permanently.
Yeah.
Well, I hope that she sticks with it because like, I do really feel like she's at her best when she's sober.
I agree.
I think she's really, like, she doesn't contribute that much this season, you know, because she's kind of like always quiet.
And I feel like when the other women are getting, are drinking, she gets like more anxious and like has to kind of remove herself.
But she's, you know, she's Lou.
That's why she was so quiet in Harlem.
And like Ebony, I think, brought it up to Leah.
I thought that conversation between Ebony and Leah was really interesting.
And I think like
Leah's the only person who
Ebony trusts her opinion, I think.
And because that dinner in Harlem was like fun, but like kind of a bust.
Like a lot of the women were like, were bored.
And I think that...
Ebony definitely has this like huge like burden to be the first black housewife and to just like use her platform and like be funny and interesting entertaining and also represent herself and like it's just a lot and I think that like she definitely is struggling with like the best way to do that yeah um and I thought Leah actually gave her really good advice like be yourself like do what's important to you but like also know how to like have fun with us like it's not it doesn't always have to be heavy and I think that was good advice and I think Ebony was like definitely struggling it must be like a lot of pressure to like be the first black housewife also with a bunch of women who are like not adept on really what's going on in the world.
Like they do really live in their own bubble.
So I think it's a lot of pressure.
And I think she was going, you know, like having a hard time finding the right balance, but I think she gets there.
Oh, for sure.
And I also think that overall, like, she's an awesome housewife.
Like, I genuinely, really enjoy everything that she brings to the show, like her commentary, confessionals, I think.
Her cavalier.
Brew was quaking.
She's a really cute dog.
Oh, my God.
Brew
was so excited to see a fellow Cav on the show.
And when she said at her election party that like Leah's dog misbehaving, like made her dog misbehave, like that actually is what happens.
Like, I 100% agree and support her.
That's going to be this weekend.
Yeah, like, Brew is such a bad influence.
But he's so sweet.
No, and Brew's not as bad as Angel.
No, Angel was on the table, like, biting Leah's nose.
No, Brew would never.
Brew would never.
No, he just gets excited and pieces pants.
Like, things happen.
Things happen.
He's young.
But yes, I agree.
I feel like there's so much to Ebony like we don't even know yet.
Like, and honestly, I've been saying this for a while.
Like, we need elegant, rich housewives.
And that's literally what Ebony is.
Like, her home is so stunning.
It looks like a hotel room.
Yeah.
Stunning.
So like, I think there's more to Ebony.
I think she feels a lot of pressure in the position that she's in.
And rightfully so.
But when Ramona, when they were taking a picture at the Harlem party, and Ramona was like, I don't like this.
We're just like white and black.
It was like, it was honestly so awkward.
And justice for
Ebony's friend Natalie, who like has been now at two of these events with these crazy fucking women and you could just see her face.
She's like, what is going on here?
Yeah.
No, when they first it they aired that and then it went right to commercial
i was like what did you just say i was like did you really just say that and then when they aired it again i guess it was like well received by the group yeah she does i was like how is everyone gonna receive this comment like it's very awkward and uncomfortable
but everyone was cool everyone was cool it was funny um also i just wanted to say one more thing i actually think um a cash trip even though they just got back from the hamptons i think a cash trip is exactly what they need and somewhere that's like not someone's home like maybe they're in a hotel or a house where it's not like, it's
not Ramona's turf.
It's not anyone's turf.
It's just like, we are going on a trip.
We're going to have fun.
You know, I don't have to like worry about doing things your way.
Like Leah can say whatever she wants at the Salem Hotel.
I think that that's actually what they need.
I did catch up because I was really behind.
And I just have to say, like, the way Leah treated Heather Thompson and the Hamptons was so vile and disgusting.
And I just, we breezed right past it because I think Heather went on that trip, realized she does not want to be friend of it.
It's not worth it.
I think she's done filming like literally for the rest of the season.
And I'm just annoyed because like Leah really owes her like a very deep apology.
I saw a headline this morning actually, page six, that Leah said like she might have been a little hard on Heather.
Especially because Ebony like did miscommunicate what Heather said.
Yeah.
And I felt awkward for Ebony because she started the whole thing when she like misunderstood what.
Heather had said and regurgitated it in a different way to Leah.
Yeah, I guess Leah was on Watch What Happens Live and she said, I was definitely hard on her.
she was like, Uh, when she watched the show back, she didn't actually hear the word dumb, so she was like, I was like, Oops.
Well, I think that like she really ran Leah off the show
as far as Heather, and that's as far as what I know, just from like reading tablets and stuff.
Like, I don't think Heather makes a return, and I don't think Heather even goes to the is gonna go to the reunion, and I wouldn't either, I wouldn't either, like, so she's never gonna get the apology she rightfully deserves.
I totally agree, and that's what's so confusing about Leah because sometimes she is so on the money, and then other times it's
lunacy.
Yeah.
No, and she was actually really in a good space on Watch Robins Live last night.
She wore a free Britney shirt.
Sony was literally the star of the show.
If anybody knows where her earrings are from, like, please, I need them.
And I really do get, enjoy her getting to like explain herself, but you're right.
Like, she's been so out of control, but she is going through something.
Her grandma did die like while she was in the Hamptons.
Like that fucking sucks.
Yeah, that really sucks.
And of course, like, I'm glad that they mentioned maybe she felt like she shouldn't have come, but not that that would have made any difference.
And also, like, this is Leah's job and she has to work.
And so I'm sure she would have just also felt anxiety.
And that's why she said I watched Rebenza because everyone's been saying, like, why'd you go to Hampton?
She's like, this is an obligation.
Like, we are an ensemble cast.
We're not that big.
Like, it is my job.
Yeah, okay.
I appreciate that she said that.
And so, and she has a family of 40 people.
So they couldn't, because of COVID, all be at the grandma's house.
They had to rotate anyway.
Pertinent information.
And so I want to be able to move on from her behavior in that Hampton towards Heather because I do think like she was at her absolute worst.
Um,
and I do think that sometimes, you know, I don't want to give anyone a pass, but like, yeah, no, things happen, and you're in a bad place, and you're in a bad place, but that can't happen without a major apology to Heather.
That I don't think the opportunity will present itself because Heather's done with this group, yeah.
So, moving forward, like, I do feel like there's a foundation for good stuff to happen, but like, it, there's just really been nothing meaty or juicy or even remotely interesting.
And I just like need
things to happen.
I feel like Ramona and Sonia are bubbling up.
I feel like they're not in a good place.
I think that Ebony and the new housewife burn in chaotic, I don't think they get along.
That's just the vibe that I got.
Like I need something.
I need
conflict.
Conflict, drama, fighting, sides.
Everyone's fighting to take a sides or a drink, like something.
I agree.
Also, I just want to say, because I think I said on the show that I thought the pageant was going to be like so stupid.
And I have to say, like, I was smiling from ear to ear.
I thought it was hysterical.
I thought it was funny too.
I didn't think Leah deserved to win.
I thought Sonia Morgan 100% deserved to win.
And I'm just, I'm glad that Lou Lou told us that like Leah won it on purpose.
And I just thought it was actually like a really fun activity.
And I was being a hater and it was, it was cute.
It was a cute idea.
Like you, that's what you had to do last year, like get fucking creative with your friends in a basement.
And that's what they did.
You do what you got to do.

Here's my predicament.
The other day, I was telling my boyfriend that I was feeling fat and insecure in a swimsuit around his friends, family, etc.
He responded by saying, no, you're just my tubbly bunny.
I think she meant to say tubby bunny.
Now, I would like to qualify that he often speaks in a joking voice and calls me nicknames when he's trying to be cute.
However, he proceeded to poke my stomach and call me tubbly over and over again.
While I managed to maintain my composure in the moment, I cried as soon as I got home because he made me feel fat.
Normally, I find this behavior cute, but this time it hurt my feelings and I don't know how to address it without damaging a fun dynamic in our relationship.
How would you proceed?
Should I just rub it off as a joke or chew him out?
Doesn't the adjective tubbly make me sound like a whale?
I appreciate you both.
A desperate toaster who fears swimsuit season.
What is Tuddly?
I don't know.
I thought she meant tubby.
Tubbly.
I don't know.
But she said tudbly twice, three times.
I'm gonna look it up.
Hold on.
Okay.
And I definitely think that there's um, let me see what she said again.
Can I read that?
Tubbly.
No, no, not that.
I just want to see what how she phrased her question.
Tubbly.
Should I rub it off as a joke or chew him out?
There is so much in between rubbing it off as a joke and and chewing him out.
By the way, Urban Dictionary says Tudley is an individual who is not fat, but has an unsymmetrically shaped stomach, creating the illusion that they are indeed a fat ass.
This website is so disgusting.
Like, I can't.
I can't.
That's, regardless, it's really hurtful, and I think you just need to tell him.
Yeah, it also depends what kind of relationship you have, because, like, if you...
are have the type of like conflict resolution where like something upsets you you bring it up and you resolve it then you should do that i get that there's like probably a little bit more like you feel embarrassed but you got to bring it up Yeah, no, this is your relationship.
This is your boyfriend.
This is a crossroads.
And this is a very good indicator how he receives this.
If he respects your feelings, like if that you should move forward in your relationship.
Not saying that necessarily you'll break up over this if you let him know, but like the way that he responds to you telling him that something hurts your feelings and like, can you please stop, I think is really important to know.
So I would just like sit him down, be like, I know you probably don't mean anything by it.
Like you don't have to chew him out.
Like, I know you probably don't mean anything by it, but it actually kind of hurts my feelings and doesn't make me feel any better about how I was already feeling.
So if you could please stop calling me that, I would appreciate it.
Because if you guys do have this like jokey kind of candor, he might not know that he crossed the line.
Yeah.
So unless you tell him, there's no way that he knows.
I feel like I've been that person before.
I'm always coming up with like nicknames and all these different things.
And I definitely, I feel like someone has said to me, please don't call me that.
I'm like, yeah.
Got it.
Definitely.
And I don't think it's like awkward or anything.
I think you just have to set boundaries.
And I also feel like the longer you let it go, the more ingrained it is and it's it's harder to correct.
Yeah.
You know?
And it's just going to eat away at you, so just get it out.
But don't, don't be mad at him because I don't think he did it with bad intentions.
I don't think so either.
All right, next up, this is a long one.
Dear Jackie and Claudia, let me start off by saying your podcast is one of the best parts of my day.
You two both...
You two both make me smile and are just so great.
Dear Toasters is also such premium content and it's kind of bittersweet that I'm now writing and asking for your advice.
Anyways, here's the situation.
My boyfriend and I have been dating for three years and started doing long distance over the past year as we both started university in different states.
The other day, I was on his laptop watching YouTube videos, snooping, and I came across a recently visited webpage, OnlyFans.
Of course, I couldn't ignore this and I clicked the link.
The user login was already signed in under a name, John Mitts, which is not the name of my boyfriend.
and was subscribed to six girls with only fans and had ongoing messages with the accounts.
I was originally shocked and disgusted with this uncovering.
It felt so personal because we have such a good sex relationship, even with the long distance, and it really hurt that he was seeking some this sort of thing from other girls.
I was so furious, and I left him a note on his laptop saying, nice OnlyFans account, while he was out of the house.
Since uncovering the account, I called him out and gave him a strong piece of my mind.
He was embarrassed and now feels extremely guilty, trying to make it up to me in any possible way.
He told me he only watches it when we are in an argument.
But I still feel,
I still feel
humiliated, and my self-worth has taken a hit.
I don't feel good enough for him now, and I'm questioning a lot of things.
He was aware of my insecurities, and I can't believe he would engage in this.
He's already sometimes controlling over what I wear, and he can get jealous when I have guy friends.
The thing is, I've never given him a reason to doubt my loyalty, and I am not a girl who puts herself out there.
What's your take on the situation?
Would you continue to brush things under the rug?
I'm looking for a non-biased opinion and would greatly appreciate any insight.
Signed a very bitter and confused toaster.
My unbiased opinion is this guy fucking sucks.
This is so layered because, first, if it was just the OnlyFans thing, I think this is like a very real
issue because I'm inclined to say, like, these girls are the OnlyFans.
Like, to them, like, your boyfriend is just one
million.
Like, there's no romantic thing happening.
Like, it's really akin to
watching porn.
But the messaging.
How would you feel if your husband had an OnlyFans account with like six girls that he was like messaging?
But the messaging is just like part of the
subscription.
No, it's not.
Like, that's the thing.
I think the subscribing to six, honestly, they say like OnlyFans is a really, really good alternative to free porn you're paying the people like creators 100 so i would actually
i say this now but like if i opened ben's laptop and he was subscribed to like supporting a couple only fans as opposed to creators a couple creators as opposed to watching free porn i would think he was a great guy and the messaging is what i really don't like because you pay for content and that's what the service is on only fans messaging is not included in that so building a relationship that's really where the betrayal is yeah i agree and then also
then you said some other stuff that was a red flag, more so than the OnlyFans, because I think a lot of couples.
It's a gray area.
It's a hurdle that a lot of couples are going to have.
He controls what you wear and jealous of your guy friends.
This guy sounds like bad fucking news, especially when he's philandering on his laptop all the time.
Yep.
I really don't like this man.
My unbiased opinion is like, each of the time, like, girl, find someone where you live.
You'll be so much happier not being in a long distance.
Also, I just want to say that.
And find someone who respects you.
Based on the way that you frame things, it sounds like this was a high school relationship that now is a college relationship because you said university.
And I do think that high school relationships, there's a time and a place, and it's in high school, and it's time to move on.
It's definitely time to move on.
And you need to expand your wings.
If the two of you are meant to be together, you'll get back together.
But like,
fly.
Yeah, also, I kind of feel like he's kind of manipulative.
Like, when you called him out on it,
he's just like trying to make it up.
Like, he just, I don't know, he's like, bad vibes.
Yeah, I'm sure you actually tried to make him sound good.
Yeah, 100%.
I think it's time to let it go.
Get on hit, hinge, or whatever.
No, just go to like your campus bulletin.
Oh, right, you're in college.
Oh, no, you don't even need a new boyfriend.
Like, go live.
Like, you're in college.
That's what I'm saying.
You've been in a long-distance relationship.
Like, girls got to get laid.
Like, it's time.
All right, third and final one.
Hey, Claude and Jax, hang it on.
Darn good.
So I have a bit of a dilemma.
One of my best friends is getting married next year.
And when we were hanging out the other day, she told me she wants to be a part of her wedding, but just not as a bridesmaid, but still do everything with them and wear the same color as them, which I was totally fine with, until she told me that she's having 10 bridesmaids and I'm the only one out of the friends that isn't in the wedding.
She tried explaining herself, but honestly, she made things worse as she would go on to say, I'm not as close, close with so-and-so, but they would be devastated if they weren't in my wedding.
And I know that you would be more understanding.
Honestly, at this point, I just don't want to be a part of it, especially not wear the same color as the bridesmaid.
I feel like that's really odd.
Should I talk to her about it or just stick it out and be the weird girl at the wedding that's trying to be a bridesmaid?
Help a toaster who doesn't want to be known as the one-to-be bridesmaid.
This is fucking,
I'm just like, these quantities are bothering me today because everyone just is out here acting so disrespectfully towards our precious toasters.
I would say eat my ass.
Okay.
I'm not spending money on your bachelorette party.
I'm not getting a dress in the color that you want just so I can be fucking disrespected.
One out of ten girls.
This is so, like, this is a chutzpodik thing to do.
Like, I think you say, I'm not interested.
I'm happy to come to the wedding as a guest, but I'm not interested in this weird alternative plan you have to make me feel bad and to make your losery friends.
feel good.
Like, I'm out of here.
Do not do this.
Like, that would make you the biggest fucking doormat of all time.
Do not do this.
stand up for yourself.
Have some self-respect.
Do not do this.
Don't do it.
If you write us an update and you tell us you did this, like I'll be so disappointed in you.
Don't do it.
Like it's so fucking rude.
Like it isn't a thing where like you have your bridesmates and then you have people who come on your back track who you're like close with and want to celebrate with, but like you're not that's there they're not that close.
Well, or you just have your group, your number is too big, but it's never just one person.
And that those people don't wear the color dress.
Yeah, I guess like at my wedding, I had a lot of people come on my bachelorette party just because like I wanted more of the merrier and they all came to the wedding.
They didn't walk down the aisle.
They didn't wear the color.
But I think that's fine.
No, that's what I did too.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, I think that that's fine.
I think that a bachelorette party like is really fun.
The more the merrier, truly.
The more the merrier.
But to ask them to wear a specific color dress and then be the only one not walking down the aisle, I would say go fuck yourself.
I actually like, and this is so hurtful, I wouldn't even go to the wedding.
No,
I would rip her a new one, but that's just like the mood I'm in right now.
Some girls just get so fucking wild when they're brides.
And then I'm sure she'll show the text to her friends and be like, could you believe she said this to me?
So by the way,
make sure to say it nice.
Be like, honestly, I really don't feel comfortable with this.
I'm happy just to come as a guest.
So you don't make, put it on her, so you don't have to make that hard decision.
So you don't, and put something in about the other friend so that if she shows it to the other friends, she's getting herself in trouble.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I know you don't want to let Emily, Cara, and Sarah.
Put them in by name so that when you, so that she can't screenshot it and and send it to other people without making herself looking at it.
I know you said Emily, Cara, and Sarah shouldn't be bridesmaids, but you don't want to hurt their feelings because they can't handle it because they're weak women, unlike you.
So and then make it seem like you're, I'll take the burden off of you.
Like, you're the hero here, you're the martyr.
And honestly, like, not being in someone's bridal party is such a gift.
Like, it's such torture to be a bridesmaid.
I would say, I would start off the text saying, no offense, but that's horseshit.
That's how I would start it.
And then list your reasons and make sure to reference Emily, Cara, and Sarah.
By name.
first and last, Emily Jones, so that she can send it to the group.
100% genius, genius.
