S4 Ep87: Shake It For The Birds and The Bees: Wednesday, May 12th, 2021

Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the Morning Toast Happy Hump Day!

It's Hump Day y'all.

Don't forget to hump someone you love.

And in the spirit of Hump Day, Doo Do Doo Do Doo is here.

We missed him so much.

I really did miss him seeing him.

This morning was such a sweet treat.

That's what he does.

Surprise and delight.

Surprise, delights, humps, period.

And you should do the same today on this glorious hump day here in Manhattan.

Yes, we have a great show for you today.

We actually have so much to cover.

Five, fast, five, of course.

Of course.

Real House Rise of New York episode last night and the Real House Rise of Dallas finale, which I'm pretty sure you didn't watch.

I didn't.

I tapped out.

It was so bad.

And then we also have Dear Toasters, which is our advice segment.

So I just feel like this is going to be almost,

if not longer, than an hour.

And I'm just grateful to be alive.

Grateful to be alive, though.

I just have a lot on my mind today and on my heart.

I'm so upset about what's going on in Israel.

Like, hundreds of rockets are being

thrown at Israel from Gaza.

It's so upsetting.

And what's maybe more upsetting is the response from the media and celebrities in America who think that they are political science experts.

Yeah.

I'm just, I'm in shock.

No, what's really upsetting to me is, honestly, at the end of the day, and I really do believe this, like everyone is entitled to their opinion.

And if you, if that's your opinion, like I do respect it, I really do.

But the vitriol coming my way, so deep-rooted in anti-Semitism, whether it's in an overt way or like in a subtle way, that's what's really scary.

And I feel like we've been saying this for a while.

Like, there is like, there's this pass for anti-Semitism in our media, in our country, in our rhetoric, and it's just really coming to light.

Lots of anti-Semites just showing their vibes in these past few days.

And I just really, I'm not going to tell anyone how to feel.

I feel very strongly on the side of Israel, and that's my prerogative.

I just really encourage you guys to look at legitimate sources.

Bella Hadid is not a legitimate source.

Influencers,

we're not legitimate sources.

We are not.

No.

So Instagram graphics are not legitimate sources.

This is a years, centuries-long conflict that can't be summed up in an Instagram graphic.

And you know what?

It's actually okay to be ignorant about it and not know really what's going on.

But what's not okay is just to post something because you missed something and spread misinformation, knowing that you don't really know what's going on.

So, Emily Radikowski, like we weren't waiting for your thoughts on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

No.

And actually, the conflict will go on despite your Instagram story, despite my Instagram story as well.

100%.

That I'm any different.

Typically, when it comes to posting Instagram stories about things that are going on,

my mentality is when I feel like no one is saying

something that I feel compelled to speak.

And before I posted, I had not seen one influencer who was standing with Israel.

Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East.

It is the only safe place for the LGBTQ plus community in the Middle East.

They have a pride parade.

It is, it's so

layered.

It's layered.

It's layered.

If you stand for human rights, if you stand for women's rights, if you stand for LGBTQ plus rights, I don't see how you don't stand with Israel.

No, 100%.

Your wokeness is contradicting itself.

Yeah.

Also, I watched a segment that Trevor Noah did on it, and his overall message I did not agree with, but he did make a really good point because this is, like I said, so layered.

And you could just pick up, you know any day and and want to take a side of the conflict and you could pick you can't just start three days ago and be like oh Israel is wrong like you can't you don't know what's unless you keep up with what's been going on you could just pick up any day and say one side is right and one side is wrong so just please stop like it's really it's offensive that's also the issue with the media where there are rockets being launched into Israel for days now and when Israel defends itself then it's a story Israel launches rockets into Gaza right what about the hundreds that preceded it?

Only retaliates.

Israel only defends itself.

And the way that I see it is that if Israel's enemies laid down their weapons, there would be peace.

If Israel laid down

their weapons, there would be peace.

If Israel laid down their weapons, there would be no Israel.

Yeah, I'm just seeing a lot of contradictory double standards, and it's really been difficult to be on social media in the last 48 hours.

But sorry, I'm not sorry.

And I support Israel.

We support Israel.

Don't get it twisted.

This is our show.

Yeah, this is not anyone else's show.

This is our show.

And I do.

I respect other people's opinions.

And all I ask is that my opinions are respected.

And I don't think that's asking a lot.

And calling me a white supremacist when I'm literally a Jewish person is so fucking offensive.

That's the funniest, like calling the Jews who stand with Israel Nazis.

Do you know what?

White supremacist thinks that history.

Look it up, sweetie.

Jaggie, do you know what the white supremacists think of Jews?

Not fondly.

Not just please.

Like, it's really annoying.

I respect your opinion.

Please respect mine and leave me the fuck alone, okay?

You're more than welcome to unfollow me.

Like, I can't stress that enough.

Right.

And it's okay to not be super informed.

Just don't go around posting graphics like you are.

Yeah, and the graphics are killing me.

Like, they're so stupid and they're so not based.

In fact, they don't have sources.

No, it's crazy.

The things that I've been seeing are so shocking to me, this idea that like Israel is like a colonial settler when Israel is a country that goes by the same name, that speaks the same language, that follows the same religion as it has has for thousands of years, since the literal Bible.

Bible.

Bible.

I don't want to get in my soapbox too much, but.

I don't either, but I really feel like, and I think especially for toasters and a lot of people listening, like they genuinely are like, how can Vanessa Hudgens be saying this and you guys are saying this?

Like,

how is it so different?

Different.

It's two different sets of facts.

Yeah, 100%.

So I just feel like because no one else, literally no one else is going to take up for Israel, it is our job yes i stand with you sis and i stand with israel oh therefore we both actually i think i'm sitting with you i'm not really much of a standard that works too claude um great show today fast five a good amount of stuff happened over the

the last 24 hours.

There was a businessman bo engagement.

There was, and we'll be talking about it.

We really will.

I just want to share with everyone that I did something this morning that I think is worthy of sharing.

Okay.

This morning, I rose and I groaned.

I woke up early and I worked out

because we're going on a trip.

I've been on a really good cadence of wellness and I just wanted one last like push before we have a great weekend.

And so I feel like really proud of myself because I'm not a morning person, let alone a workout in the morning person.

And I did it.

She rose and she groaned.

I did not rose or groan today.

I just kind of stumbled.

I didn't have time.

You just groaned.

I just didn't even get my coffee.

Like I'm just dead, you know?

Oh my God, that's so sad.

I've just been doing a lot getting ready for our trip.

We have a spray tan.

Like, I I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but it is a lot, the packing.

So I just, like, honestly, I couldn't take on any more trauma.

And the coffee is like starting to traumatize me.

The anxiety and the jitters, like that finger thing yesterday, that was crazy.

But I also think it's the pressure of this TikTok series.

Like, you had so much.

People are waiting.

You're taking on way too much.

I am.

And you know what?

Plus the toast in 60 seconds.

How does she do it all?

So I am going to take a brief pause, like for just a few days until we get back from Nashville

on the coffee series.

You're going to lay off the sauce?

I'm laying off the sauce temporarily.

Okay, well, I guess without further ado, do it do, where are you?

Right here because it's hump day.

Here are the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

And today's episode is brought to you by Siesta Key and the Hills New Beginnings.

Starting Wednesday, May 12th at 8 only on MTV.

That's tonight, Wednesday, May 12th on MTV.

Love it.

I am truly so excited.

Okay.

Are you ready for our first story?

Yeah.

Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo finally meet in person at the Brit Awards.

Last night were the Brit Awards and they looked fabulous.

They did look fabulous.

And they looked fun and popping and lit, and Little Mix was there with their two pregnant bellies.

And there was 2,500 people, I think there were frontline workers, in the audience, and I don't believe that they were wearing masks, so it was really just like a sight to see.

Yeah, I mean, it's it's very exciting.

It's crazy.

We're getting back.

Olivia Rodrigo meeting Taylor Swift finally, as you all know, the journey, like super fan.

Taylor really supported her from early days of driver's license, and now they're together, which is sort of confirming Snitch's theory that she has that when Taylor does go on tour, Olivia Rodrigo is going to open for her.

Yes, it was very exciting seeing the culmination of like a social media relationship finally hit the big time.

I hope it was like as good IRL for them as it was online.

Did you see that Olivia Rodrigo had like a bunch of handwritten notes that she gave to people?

Taylor got one, Harry Styles got one, and Harry Styles left his on the table when we left.

That is like really traumatizing instead.

I know.

But I feel like Olivia Rodrigo had the best night of her life and I'm just so happy for her because because she deserves it.

I agree with that.

And her album's coming out.

Oh, and

kind of like a supplemental story is

maybe like two days ago, Joshua Bassett came out, I believe, as bisexual or queer.

I'm not 100% sure

what he identifies as, but that was a big story too.

Just like another development in this very complex love triangle.

Once again, it's layered.

It is very layered, ongoing.

And are him and Sabrina still together?

See, I don't know.

And like, I just need to close this chapter.

And I don't think I can do that without getting like a final confirmation on their relationship.

Like, was it worth all of this?

I don't know.

I feel like they're not together.

I haven't seen a picture of that.

I don't know how they could be, unless it's true love.

Unless it's true love, which in which in that case, this whole saga would have been worth it for them and it would have been okay.

Yeah.

for sure.

But one never knows.

One never knows.

Next story is some really crazy TV news.

Ellen DeGeneres is ending her talk show.

She says it's just not a challenge anymore.

Ellen is signing off.

Yeah, that's why.

Daytime's most recognizable face has decided her upcoming season, the show's 19th, will be the last.

The decision, which fell to Ellen, is said to have been several years in the making.

She informed her staff on May 11th and will sit down with longtime pal and daytime predecessor, Oprah, to discuss the news on Ellen's May 13th show.

She said, when you're a creative person, you constantly need to be challenged.

And as great as the show is, and as fun as it is, it's just not a challenge anymore, she told the Hollywood reporter.

Yeah, so I'm just like not going to believe that.

I'm going to choose not to believe that.

I mean, this is,

there's been talks about Ellen like ending her show, but she always persevered on.

And I do think like this enormous scandal that she went through at the beginning of the year or last year

definitely contributed to it.

But I actually have a lot of respect for her for like not going out in a low.

She did do, I don't know what her ratings are like.

I don't watch her show, but she did come back.

She did recover.

She apologized.

And now she can go out with some dignity.

And I do respect that.

I do.

I agree.

And everything must come to an end at some point.

And 19 is a lot.

I imagine it's not challenging anymore and it's also not fun.

I imagine it's definitely not fun, but I don't know ever like how challenging it really was, you know?

Yeah, well, everything is a challenge

when you're starting out, you know?

Yeah.

And if you're doing like new things and you feel like you're really doing something, but I just, I'm sure, you know,

it's time for a change.

But with her new show that I was talking about earlier this week, Ellen's Next Big Designer.

The show's really good.

Yeah.

And I'm sure she has a lot of projects like that and she works on a lot of things behind the scenes.

Again, it's weird that it's like Ellen's next top designer, even though she's not even on the show that I've seen.

But that's the thing like with celebrities now, like why would Ellen go into a studio every day and like film for hours when literally she could attach her name to something and probably make just as much money?

Yeah.

And then she could go live in her mansion with Porsche and just like save animals.

Well, some people also like love the fame, like the forward-facing part.

Yes.

But I do think after, you know, so many years in the industry, like that's not, that's no longer a.

It loses its luster.

Yeah.

So this is really interesting.

I do think, and we were talking about this earlier, how I think Kelly Clarkson is going to be like the next Ellen.

Like to me, when I'm thinking who's thriving thriving in the daytime space, it's Kelly Clarkson.

I can't even think of anyone else.

And they are both on NBC, right?

I think so.

So I just think that like

one

small step for Ellen, one large late for Kelly Clarkson.

I guess so.

You know, it's big.

Like Ellen owned daytime for so long.

People came, people went, the Meredith Vieira show, the Chris show, the Bethany show, the Harry Connock Jr.

show.

Justice for that one.

Tyra, she was successful for a while, but Ellen kind of like owned owned it.

And now it's like there's going to be a new queen.

Is it going to be Kelly Clarkson?

Yes, it is.

Does she deserve it?

Yes, she does.

I put my money on Kelly every day.

Yeah.

Every way.

I'm not putting my money on Drew Barrymore.

Just not.

No, Kelly or Bust?

Kelly or Bust.

Kelly to the moon.

Kelly to the moon.

Are you ready for our next story?

A little happy couple news with the businessman, Bo.

It's a little happy couple news with the businessman, Bo.

Caitlin Bristow's Screams for Joy and proposal video shared by Jason Tardick.

He says, it was the reaction I was hoping for.

Caitlin let out a few happy screams when Jason asked her to marry him.

He surprised the former bachelorete by proposing to her Monday while recording an episode of her podcast Off the Vine.

I really hope she uses it as a podcast.

Of course she's going to get like a Neil Lane sponsorship or like a the not, you know, and make it like a wedding central.

Yeah, they don't even have to do that because so many people are going to tune in because also, it's crazy that like his engage, his proposal speech was recorded most people like you take the pictures after you never really hear what the person says during the proposal it's a very intimate moment and the person

usually forget so it's usually like a moment in time that's kind of lost so it's pretty cool that they have it recorded i love i mean i think we've all known that this was like otp forever and it was just a matter of them doing it on their own time and i'm so happy for them they are the true culmination of businessman bow and i'm just thrilled caitlin looked gorgeous she like recently dyed her hair back to dark and she she had like a sickening manicure.

And it was just like kind of a perfect moment.

You know, begs a question, like, did she know, you know?

No, I agree.

But then also, they came at us prepared.

Like, they didn't just post the minute it happened.

They got some.

tasteful shots done.

They had shots of the ring.

She had her sweet manicure.

She had like a look with like that was more bridal.

So I feel like this happened a few days ago and then they were getting their ducks in order for the announcement.

And I actually really appreciate the planning.

Me too.

The ring is so stunning.

And that's what happens when you have a businessman bow.

Just another reason to get a businessman bow.

It is huge.

It's gorgeous, not to be annoying, so much better than a first one.

And I'm just, I'm thrilled for them.

They really are like a great couple, and it's a beautiful story.

You know, they found love in a hopeless place.

Yeah, they really did.

It's a beautiful story.

I

agree.

Like, it was never a matter of like, are they going to get engaged?

It's just like, oh, when's going to be their time?

It wasn't a matter of if, but just a matter of when.

Yeah, so I'm really happy for them.

I'm so happy for Caitlin.

And this is just going to be an exciting next chapter.

Caitlin's just the kind of gal who like like deserves a happy ending, you know?

Yes.

Happy ending, I mean, not like the massage, but we all deserve happy endings.

I think we all deserve happy endings.

Yeah.

And said Denise Richards.

And Victoria Justice.

They collabed on that one.

Yeah, this is a very sweet story.

It's great.

I'm so happy for them.

Mazeltov.

Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Carrie Underwood land Las Vegas residencies.

Let's unpack these.

Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood are ready to call Las Vegas their new home.

So they have a deal with American Idol, clearly.

Yeah, or um, but Carrie.

It's just weird that all three of them, like.

Oh, I guess Carrie Underwood is American Idol.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The music superstars announced Wednesday that they will be founding headliners at the Theater Theater at Resorts World, a 5,000-seat venue on the Las Vegas Strip, where they will launch concert residences beginning in December.

So I have to say, even though Katy Perry's music over the last like five years has been pretty disgraceful,

she does have a sickening catalog of music that is perfect for Vegas.

I saw her Prism tour, and it was literally a traveling Vegas residency.

It was gorgeous.

The songs, the sets, the light up outfits, like it was a residency in the making.

And I do think she is going to kill it like she's perfect for it for sure i would definitely go and see her residency she has so much early music that's iconic incredible and then even the newer stuff so many so many misses but there's a few that like okay i could get down to this daisies daisies even you know what's grown on me because i think cody rigsby likes it he plays it sometimes is it chained to the rhythm no but that has grown on me because it's a good spinning song because when we're all like this we're chained to the rhythm we're literally chained to the rhythm that's That was really off gate.

Chained to the rhythm.

It's honestly the worst song.

Bonap the teeth, the worst.

Yeah, that's the one.

Cody plays it sometimes.

But what other song is growing on you?

That's the one, Bonapat.

It's growing on me.

It's not growing on me, but Cody sometimes plays it, and I have to listen to it.

That's it.

And I do listen to it.

No, Jaggy, no.

I know.

I know.

I know.

Daisy's is so good.

Like, for me, that was her redemption.

Are the Katie Sams gonna come after us?

I mean, once again, that's me.

Like, at at one point in my life, like, I was so

obsessed.

Actually, the first concert I ever went to was Katie Perry.

I was actually,

honestly, a die-hard number one fan.

And it was before she was playing.

It was a tiny theater.

It was Irving Plaza.

Yeah, it was like the hot and cold.

I think you went with Alex Persali.

I did, and she's a toaster.

We always talk about her.

It was honestly the best concert ever.

Like, we were dying, me and Alex, like, living our best fucking lives.

And it was like, she only had released like Hot and Cold and I Kissed a Girl.

Like, that was all we knew.

Yeah.

Plus, her Super Bowl halftime show was so fucking good that it's just like setting her up for fantastic residency.

I feel really good about this.

Me too.

In general, she's also cemented into like a pop icon hall of fame because of that Super Bowl halftime show.

Like, for us, I feel like, of course, the critics like it.

They like it?

I don't think so.

Well, the thing is, if you're not sure, I don't think it's if the critics don't like something, that means it's good.

It means it's creme de la creme, means creme.

No, some of you are still from New Jersey.

No, no, honestly, creme de la creme is what,

let's be real.

The critics love the creme de la creme, and that's like like the sophisticated shit nobody likes.

I like heavy cream.

That's what the mass

Americans like.

You like are you following my logic?

But are you following my logic?

Yes, yes.

Like the fancy elite creme de la creme that the critics love, like the lobster.

The critics love the movie lobster.

That is shit.

Like I like the shit that the critics hate, but that America loves.

Yeah.

That's kind of like what Kevin Hart was saying about his movie.

Yes.

Night School.

Yeah.

No, I know you didn't like that movie.

I didn't, but maybe it was me.

Like maybe I was just in a bad headspace.

I know I, every time we talk about this, we have the same conversation because I was in a really bad headspace when I saw Baby Boss 2.

And I just know it's a good movie.

And I walked out of the theater, but I should have given it a chance.

I never saw two, but I saw one and I really liked that one.

And also, Think Like a Man 2.

Think Like a Man 1 is one of my favorite movies.

Like, it's actually me and Olivia's like favorite movie together.

It is so good.

And I was just like in a mood in the theater when I saw the second one.

I'm like, this is trash, but it's like not.

Yeah.

It's stellar filmmaking.

Nice.

Just saying.

Okay, our next Vegas residency, Luke Bryan.

I know we talk mad shit about Luke Bryan on the show, but lest we not.

Yeah, we do.

We're always like titling this hack.

Like, it always goes to Luke Bryan.

Like, what about Luke Combs?

Like, he's like grouped in with like Jason Aldi.

We don't get it.

They're just like played out mainstream country stars.

Right.

But I recently saw my time hop us like going so hard for Luke Bryan at stagecoach.

And it was an amazing, he did an amazing set.

Like, and in that moment, I remember feeling like, okay, I get it.

So I just need to go back to there and be like, I get this.

Got a little boom in my big truck.

Gonna open up the doors and turn it up.

Got a mom joke in the Georgia mug.

Gonna watch me making you fall in love.

Get up on the hood of my daddy's tractor.

Up on the two gun.

It don't matter.

Down on the tailgate.

Girl, I can't wait to watch you do your thing.

Shaking for the young birds sicking in the hunk it tunk.

For the rednecks rocking till they rake it home.

The DJ cutting out sunshazon.

Come on, come on, come on.

Shake it for the birds.

Shake it for the bees.

Totally.

Shake it for the birds, birds.

Shake it for the bees.

Shake it for the catfish singing down deep in the trees.

Shake it for the crickets and the critters and the squirrels.

Shake it to the moon.

Shake it for me, girl.

Oh, country girls.

Shake it for me, girl.

We are ready for Nashville.

No, we're so ready.

That's

so fucking good.

It is so redeeming.

It makes up for sunrise, sunset, sunburn repeat.

That's so that is a disgrace to music making.

So I actually agree with you.

While I don't think he deserves to win, you know, Entertainer of the Year, Vegas is an interesting space, and I actually think he will thrive.

But I would argue that Vegas requires Entertainers of the Year.

Maybe.

Maybe.

But I would argue that Vegas...

Shut up.

Like, honestly, I hate arguing with you because you're so fucking annoying.

Just shut up, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

You know what I was trying to say.

Yes, I do know what you were trying to say.

And if maybe they just put some respect on Luke Hombs' name once in a while, we wouldn't be so pressed about this.

And maybe there would be a Luke Hombs fucking residency, and I would have to move to Vegas.

Move there.

Every night.

Imagine us seeing Luke Homes every single night.

That's like, you know how, like, you have a bar you go to every like weekend in the city?

Like, that would be our bar.

Like, nothing sounds better.

Nothing.

And then the other residency that was announced was Carrie Underwood.

Oh, did you not say Lionel Richie?

No, I didn't.

You made it about American Idol.

Yeah, I did.

I swear on my life, I heard you say Lionel Richie.

Maybe I did.

She never knows.

She's going to be amazing.

Amazing.

Even though the music she's putting out right now is of a different elk and it's very...

Yeah, it's very elky.

No, it's just like faith-based music and it's slow and it's like in her field.

But the thing is, as two Jewish queens, we stand

faith-based music.

Francesca Batelli, I can't say that.

Batastelli.

Batastelli is a queen.

And I know, I don't know if you know this, there's a trend going around on TikTok where people are sharing their trauma with like church camp and just like growing up in youth groups, but they're using a Francesca Battistelli song.

The one, it's your life.

I've got a couple dents in my bander, got a couple rips in my jeans.

And I didn't even know that song, but the trend made me listen to it.

That album is so fucking good.

And I do feel like you can apply it to your God, you know?

I believe that you can as well.

And I don't think it's blasphemous for us to listen to it.

No, I don't think so.

And some of it, it's just so like

self-assuring.

Like, it's your life.

What you gonna do?

What are you gonna do?

It's your life.

The world is watching you every day.

The choices you make.

Say what you are and who your heart beats for.

It's an open door.

It's your life.

What you gonna do?

The world is watching you.

Beautiful.

I agree.

Honestly, I think on the plane today I'm gonna listen.

I'm gonna

cry and listen to Francesca Battistelli.

That's just just awkward.

That album.

That's awkward because I'm gonna be like sitting next to you.

You're gonna be crying.

Why?

What seat are you in?

I'm in the first row.

I'm in the third row.

Okay, so you have your privacy.

Yeah.

No, but Margo flew home.

She was in Palm Springs.

She flew home on May 5th, which is the anniversary.

No, it's our dad's birthday, and it would have been his 65th birthday.

So it was just like a really hard day.

And she was on the plane.

In a window seat.

In a window seat.

And she texted me.

She's like, I haven't had like a, every kid who's lost a parent knows like there's a moment on like a special anniversary or on a birthday where you have a fucking breakdown and then you move on with your day.

And Margo hadn't had the breakdown yet because she was so busy in Palm Springs.

And then she got on the plane and she texted me.

She's like, I'm freaking out.

Like, I just got on the plane.

I'm in a window seat.

Haven't had the obligatory breakdown.

I said, just lean into it, put your hood on so nobody sees and takes a picture of you and you'll be fine.

Yeah, you know what?

Now that I think about it, I haven't had a breakdown in so long.

Like I'm due for a big one.

Okay, so.

And I don't know when it's going to hit me.

That's so scary.

It couldn't catch me off guard.

Part of my trauma is like there will be like days or weeks that go by where I like legit forget like I don't have a dad.

And it's like, I'm such an asshole.

Like, but I just have really.

That's called surviving.

Yes.

But it was May 4th, the day before our dad's, what would have been our dad's birthday.

And my friend Abe texted, FaceTimed me and he's like, oh my God, my dad just sent me the cutest text.

And he sent me a screenshot of what Abe's dad texted him.

And he was like, Claudia's dad's birthday is tomorrow.

And I, and like, I don't know why that set me off, but it's like,

you know, Ellis remembered, and he had never even met our dad, but like, it was just so thoughtful that, like, there are people around you who are like thinking of you and know that those days are hard for you.

And that like destroyed me.

Like, for hours, I couldn't even watch, I couldn't watch TV.

I was in the middle of Bull type.

No, this was before I started watching Bull type, which, by the way, I finished season three of, and we should get into.

But just know, you never know what's going to set you off.

And Godspeed to you.

Cause I cried and I'm good for like another year.

It's been like months, I think.

I don't, I can't remember.

I'm usually on like a like twice-a-year type of race.

Twice-a-year basis?

Yeah.

Interesting.

It's seasonal.

May is always tough.

Yeah, May and October, those are the big ones.

But I got through unscathed.

So somehow.

October's coming.

Maybe it's going to be Father's Day.

Oh, that's a tough one.

That could hit me like a ton of bricks.

That one really bothers me.

I'll keep you guys posted.

I agree.

But the bull type?

Yeah.

So I just finished season three.

I'm only at one season left.

They exposed Pamela Dolan.

They,

Jaclyn disappeared from the office after like her rogue fall issue.

Um, she lost, Kat lost city council, and Sutton is encouraging Richard to move to San Francisco.

So

it's been a lot.

It's been a lot.

Okay.

Well, I just, without giving too much away, like, you have a lot to look forward to.

Okay.

Okay.

What are Sutton and Richard doing otherwise?

Um, just like being rich, and it's amazing.

And he, like, he bought her a sewing machine and she, like, won't accept it.

But then it's like, that's what a partner's for.

Like, they lift you up.

And, like, Richard has all this money and he wants to spend it on you.

Sutton.

Just say okay.

Yeah.

I just couldn't relate.

I've actually found her to be the most relatable character, but the moment she like moved in with Richard, wouldn't use his housekeeper, kept splitting dinners on Venmo, and wouldn't accept a $2,500 gift from him, I've never related to her less.

Okay.

That was a big mistake.

Huge.

Huge.

Okay, fifth and final story, a little documentary news.

We're getting one from Pink.

Oh my God.

That's great.

A new Amazon Prime video documentary called Pink, All I Know So Far, offers a rare glimpse backstage as she toured the world in 2019 with her family in tow.

So I just want to say, like, a pink documentary, love to see it.

Also, she just put out a new song, also called All I Know So Far, that is so fucking good.

Chef's gifts, premium content.

Go listen to it.

I'll listen to it on the plane.

Maybe I'll cry.

You'll cry.

Oh, really?

Like, because it's upbeat, like, it's also like a running song, a workout song, but it's like, it's so, it's almost like the chorus of like, this is me, where it's just like chills, shivers.

Look out, Kasira.

I feel that.

You know, so it's like, so it's not down in, like, it's not a ballad, but it could still get you just as good in your feels.

I'm so excited and thrilled that she has a documentary.

I, there's a special place in my heart for celebrity documentaries.

Some of them have really changed how I see people.

They could change the course of history.

No, they really can.

And I really feel like 5'2, Lady Gaga has changed the course of history.

Like, I thought it was the best documentary I had ever seen.

I cannot watch Joan Rivers' piece of work enough times.

I own it on YouTube.

So on my phone, every time I'm on a plane, I watch it because, like, what else am I doing?

Who else's is really good?

I actually really liked the Justin Bieber YouTube, like, episodic one.

I just think they're, oh, the Jonas Brothers, happiness begins, happiness ends, whatever, the whole thing.

A beachy, a beachy.

Oh, I never saw that.

So, so good.

Hmm.

You should check it out.

Yeah.

I mean, Beyonce's, like, HBO one was amazing.

One of my favorite clips ever is from that documentary where she's just like practicing in the car really quick, like a quick vocal warm-up.

And she sings listen from Dream Girls.

And it's probably like the best vocal performance of her generation.

And she wasn't even crying.

She was in the car and her laptop was on her lap.

Like it was, it's the crazy.

I watch that clip like when I get drunk and like want to share things on YouTube with people.

And that's like one of my go-tos.

Lives rent free in your head along with your brain.

Lives rent motherfucking free.

And all of the Taylor Swift Miss Americana, all of her concert DVDs.

Oh, Katy Perry, part of me.

That is one of the greatest documentaries, celebrity or otherwise.

She's going through her divorce from Russell Brand.

She's on this like crazy world tour at the height of her fame, and you just really get to know her.

Also, One Direction.

Also, Black Pink.

I love when it's interspersed, like documentary, song, documentary, song.

Yeah.

Homecoming, Beyonce.

Documentary song, documentary song.

Well, in her Amazon, upcoming Amazon Prime video documentary, Pink All I Know So Far, streaming May 21st, set your calendars, she gives a rare backstage glimpse as she navigated her history making Beautiful Trauma World Tour, the second highest-grossing world tour of all time.

I love

by a solo female artist.

You know what?

I mumbled it because I couldn't believe what I was reading and then I didn't know this.

Oh, what is it?

Beautiful Trauma World Tour, the second highest grossing world tour of all time by a solo female artist.

And what was number one?

Reputation by Taylor Swift?

Was it?

I believe so.

How much did it gross?

Can you look this up actually?

Okay.

Highest grossing female tourism.

Highest grossing female world tour.

Yes, I do believe it is reputation or it might be Madonna.

Yeah, like just pink being number two, I didn't know.

That's what I'm saying about pink.

She is such a, here she is, she's a sniper from the side.

Like she just kills it subtly.

Okay, wow, yeah.

So here are all the tours by male, female, group, everything.

Number one tour

of all time.

Well, is it like the Beatles?

I have a few guesses.

Coldplay?

No.

Jay-Z and Beyonce together.

Taylor Swift?

No.

Ed Sheeran's.

Divided tour.

You know what?

I don't even, I don't want the stands coming for me, but I went to that tour.

Just leave it at that.

And that's all I'll say.

U2, the U2 360 tour.

Oh, did they, you know, slide free tickets into everyone's pockets?

Yep, that's the second biggest.

Then Guns N' Roses, not in this lifetime tour.

Then the Rolling Stones, a bigger bang tour, then Coldplay, Head Full of Dreams tour, Roger Waters, The Wall Live, ACDC, Black Ice Tour, Metallica, World Wired tour, Rolling Stones, No Filter tour, then Madonna, Sticky and Sweet Tour, and then Pink, Beautiful Trauma World Tour.

I would have never guessed that in a million years.

Then the next two are U2 tours, and then the next one is Bruno Marr's 24-Carrot Magic World Tour.

Women Reputation.

Then Garth Brooks and Tricia Yearwood's World Tour, then The Police, then Elton John, then Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, and then Taylor Swift's Reputation Tour.

That's 19 overall, but three.

Three

solo female.

All right, well, Evermore will be number one.

You know what I would call those?

Interesting factoids.

I know, like so much Metallica.

So much Metallica, so much U2.

Yeah.

I guess there's a reason why they were eligible to give everyone a free album, you know?

You have to have a lot of money to do that.

Yeah, or maybe those free albums really worked and everyone started showing up at the tours.

They couldn't get enough.

Do you think they're like so embarrassed by that?

Because they should be.

They don't look embarrassed.

No, not at all.

Who is

Bono?

Yeah.

Not Bon Jovi.

No, and not Bon Iver.

Don't get twisted.

Who the fuck is Bon Iver?

It's Boni Ver.

Bon Iver, Justin.

So Bon Jovi is a man.

Not a band.

John Bon Jovi.

And did you know?

Yeah.

And he's not a band.

Or he's Journey.

No, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, no.

So you got to hold on to what?

Who's that?

Bon Jovi.

Yeah.

And what does Journey sing?

Don't stop.

You see how that's confusing?

You see how that's confusing.

Sure.

So much glee music, you know?

Sure.

And then, like, not to make things crazy, but then there's Arrowsmith.

So similar.

No, but that's Liv Tyler's dad.

Yes.

American Idol.

Those were great years of American Idol, by the way.

When I was in high school and it was like Liv Tyler, J-Lo.

Yeah, Liv Tyler was American Idol judge.

Stephen Tyler, excuse me.

Those were good years.

And now Steven Tyler, all he is amounted to is being the punching bag for people who like always say about like middle-aged women who've had plastic surgery.

Like they look like Stephen Tyler.

Like leave Steven out of this.

100%.

He's a nice man.

He did not sign up for that.

He did not fucking sign up for that.

Yeah.

So in conclusion, celebrity documentaries are good.

Pink's is going to to be great.

Respect being put on Pink's name.

She's very private, which I love about her because I feel like she has a really good work-life balance and a very healthy, you know, view on the world.

But I am looking forward to getting a glimpse.

Same.

And I'm just really wrapping my head around the fact that Beautiful Trauma was the second highest-grossing female solo World Tour.

Like that, I just think doesn't get said enough.

No, she just keeps her head down and works fucking hard, and that's what happens.

That's just so crazy.

I'll be watching this documentary because I want to see what it looks like to be behind the scenes at the second highest grossing female solo world tour.

And, like, why didn't we go to that?

I remember trying to get tickets.

I think I had a scheduling conflict because

I remember being like, you know what?

I'm finally at a place where I can recognize my stand-em for pink and I want to go somewhere

where I can appreciate it.

No, I don't feel like I was shamed.

I just finally knew myself well enough to know that that's something that I would thoroughly enjoy.

And then, for one reason or another, I couldn't go.

What is like the one concert that you have the biggest like

FOMO from?

Because I have like a story,

The Life of Pablo Tour for Kanye.

Oh, yeah.

It's one of my favorite albums, like, of all time.

Like, sometimes I'll just randomly put it on.

And I said to Ben, I wanted to go.

I'm like, I'm gonna get tickets.

He's like, no, let me get them for you.

And then, you know, life happens.

And all of a sudden, we're laying in bed, and you're at the fucking concert, and everyone on my fucking Instagram is at Madison Square Garden.

And it wasn't Ben, it was Ben's fault, but like, I should have been more on top of it.

And I literally didn't talk to him for like a whole day.

I was so mad.

And I literally think about that all the time, how I miss that.

And I'm so upset.

Yeah, I went to that concert.

It was so good, but I also feel like I didn't appreciate it enough while I was there because I was mostly there because Zach really wanted to go, so I was just like being supportive and I enjoyed myself, and I knew some of the songs, but now I appreciate that album so much more than I did then.

And so, while I'm glad that I saw it, just know like I didn't even appreciate what I had.

Well, I've been there at concerts where like I didn't appreciate what was going on.

Underbradly, one of the best concerts I've ever been to was at Barclay Center.

It was John Mayer, and I've seen John Mayer a million times, but this one was particularly great because do you know who opened for him?

Phillip Phillips.

And that album Philip Phillips released after his win on American Idol is criminally underrated.

People should be put in jail for underrating it.

Yeah.

It's so good.

I agree.

Two other concerts that I wish I went to.

Obviously, Taylor Swift Red because that became one of my favorite albums of hers.

And the second, and I remember I watched it via Ben's Snapchat stories, wishing like I had gone, was Rihanna's anti-whore.

No, 100%.

And I watched, remember when we used to like go to concerts and put the whole thing on our Snapchat and it's like, who's watching this?

Nope, I was watching that

on Ben's Snapchat story.

Don't be ashamed to watch.

No, I watched the whole thing.

He didn't even have good seats.

Oh, shade.

No offense, but I watched it.

Let's dive into the TV recap segment, which is brought to you by Booty by Bra-Bands, your favorite brand.

My favorite brand.

And because I rose and groaned in the gym this morning, I really feel as though I can speak to the magic of Booty by Bra-Bands.

They're changing the athleisure game with their high-quality, durable leggings, and inclusive approach.

Booty by Bra-Bands leggings sculpt your body, highlight your curves, and will take your workouts to the next level with the perfect amount of compression and support.

They are a brand that prides themselves on their inclusive approach, eliminating numbers from the shopping experience because numbers should never define us.

You can experience the Booty by Bra-Bands signature croco skin material.

The black Crocco skin leggings are the perfect black leggings every woman needs in their life, designed to last a lifetime, and you can also shop black Crocco skin bike shorts, which are a spring-summer staple.

So you worked out this morning in your Booty by Bra-Bance?

Is that what I'm hearing?

I did, and I got some new Booty by Bra-Band sets that are in some sickening colors.

I'm bringing one set to Nashville because it's like this burnt orange, and I just feel like everyone's gonna be like, Oh my god, because every time I wear Booty by Bray Bands, I get the most compliments I've ever gotten in my entire life.

So, not only do I get a workout where like everything's being held together, but I'm also looking like the cutest snatchler.

What more could you want?

Um, well, I could tell you what more you could want: a code for 15% off using code toast at bootybybraebance.com.

That's booty, b-o-o-t-y by brabance b-r-a-b-a-n-t-s dot com code toast for 15 off let's dive into the tv recap there's really not much to say about the real housewise of new york because it was

it was an in-between episode like So much of it was the ladies just getting to the Hamptons.

Like they're really dragging things out.

But you know what?

I really enjoyed it.

Like Sonia and Lou riding out in a convertible.

Where was Sonia's luggage?

I don't know.

It was an enjoyable episode because I'm really liking the cast and I'm just enjoying seeing the women do whatever.

But it does feel really small.

Like when the five of them were sitting around that Reiki healer, I was like, damn, there's nobody there.

They really need one more card.

I know.

And you know, it's a slow episode when it's one episode, two different healers.

Yes, the dog healer and then the Sonia's healer and then the Burning Man healer.

Yeah, that Burning Man party did look really fun.

Amazing.

I loved so much about it.

First of all, like Ramona is having an amazing season so far, just on for so many different reasons.

And even when they were doing the healing and everyone was opening up like so deeply, I was getting like nervous for Ramona because like she's not always capable of that depth.

She's like 60 plus.

Like what is she doing?

Doing Reiki at Burning Matt.

Like I'm sorry.

Yeah.

But

I thought she did a pretty good job.

Lou was like making fun of her after like in her face.

Because her voice was being but at least she respected the process enough to like say something

semi constructive.

Yes, but I also really feel like that answer was good because I think it led me to understand Ramona a little bit more and why she's so obsessed.

I have 60 friends because she said it.

She's like, her only family is Avery.

Her and Mario are no longer married.

You know, she has like a really tumultuous relationship with her parents and then her mom died.

Her upbringing.

So I actually felt like even though Luanne was making fun of her, I did understand her a little bit more.

And I know that she doesn't usually say the right thing, but I do feel like for the most part, and I know I'm going to regret saying this, like she is well-intentioned.

I think we are usually wind up there.

And I would agree with that.

And so I was just like glad that she didn't like ruin.

I was just nervous that she was just gonna ruin the vibes because everybody was sharing so much, so deep.

And everyone really had, I had a new perspective and new respect for everyone and what they were sharing.

I actually, I loved everything about the party because I love that it like got them dressed up.

They were so excited to be in Ramona's backyard.

Julia looked

unbelievable.

Yeah.

Like unbelievable.

Yeah.

I thought it was really interesting to learn that Ebony's apartment is in Tribeca, which means it's so expensive, but that it's paid for by her ex-fiancé.

Yeah.

Nice.

Nice.

I love that apartment so much, and I love that she has a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel.

I know, and I just like, I need her to stay in that apartment because it's literally elevating the entire show.

I think she's moving.

She won't even sleep in the bed.

It doesn't matter.

I know.

She can sleep on the couch, but she has to stay in the apartment.

It's so nice.

It's so nice.

And the pups, Bruno was just like shook.

He also was looking at Marley and stuff last night, but he was like, bring me back to Ebony's place.

Yeah, Marley and Coco, like fucking on the bed in Ramona's house was so funny.

Ramona's house does look really good.

It looks so good.

When they were doing some aerial shots, like it was looking better than ever.

No, in the room that Luann got, I was like, that's a stunning guest bedroom.

Yeah.

So I actually really like Ramona's house in the Hamptons.

I always forget that she has it.

Yeah, no, everything about the episode so far was very, very good.

Yeah, it was just like kind of boring.

Yeah, they need to move the ball along, but it's only the second episode.

But they did kind of set the scene for Leah not getting along with Heather.

I didn't know it was because it's just Leah didn't like that Heather was talking shit about people on podcasts, but not Leah.

That's like not your battle.

Yeah, it's like if Luann can be okay with it, then why is Leah so upset with with it?

Also, like, I understand the premise of I don't like a girl who just runs around like sharing what we did behind the scenes, but like the Pirate St.

Barts episodes are from so long ago.

They're part of like Real House history.

Like talking about what happened then has really no bearing on life right now.

I agree.

So I don't totally get it.

I feel like there's more to the story.

I, because they're also so similar, Heather and Leah.

I would imagine that they've met other, like that they just have.

Maybe there's more to the story that just doesn't make sense for watching on tv yeah they definitely have met each other before and just like didn't like each other they met each other at the burke cheers they were sitting next to each other didn't look like they even looked at each other yeah i just feel like sometimes people might be too similar yeah but then a little too different 100

um and then real house noise of dallas honestly was it was really boring like they spent so much of their reunion like looking at bloopers you know like when people mispronounce things it honestly all could have been in one but the biggest bombshell was obviously brandy yeah talking about her pregnancy how she literally was you know drinking a ton for her the first three months of her pregnancy because she didn't realize she was pregnant.

They did a bunch of tests.

The baby is totally okay, but it was like a major concern.

That's so scary.

It was really scary.

And then this crazy accident that Brian's mom got into, where the way she described the accident, they were hit by an 18-wheeler semi-truck.

The truck dragged the car, then the car flipped, and then the truck fell on the car.

And Brinkley had like a broken arm and a couple scratches.

And the mom, the Brian's, Brandy's mother-in-law died.

Like, it's a crazy story.

She's literally said, by the grace of God, like, Brinkley was fine.

It was just a crazy story.

And then they brought up this video, which is really why I tuned into the reunion.

And I thought Brandy had a really interesting perspective.

I plan on watching.

I just knew I wanted to wake up early to work out, so I had to prioritize listening to my body.

Sorry.

After kind of like explaining the whole thing, she said, like, this video was real, this from 2018.

It was intentionally put out there to hurt me, and we all know who did it.

And everyone was like, Yeah.

And then Andy was like, Who?

Like, Randy, he had no idea what she was saying.

And they were like, Leanne, like, this is her go, this is her MO, like,

going after people's families.

And I thought that was an interesting take, but I don't, they said that she's so bitter, like, that she's not on the show anymore.

Like, this is her act of revenge.

I don't know.

I don't really see what

Leanne gets out of it.

I don't know.

I wouldn't purport to know what goes on in Leanne's head.

it's confirmed that the video is from 2018, though, and so her and Brian are fine.

So, she knew that the video was from 2018 because he was in Scottsdale on a joint bachelor bachelorette party for his sister and brother-in-law.

Um, and basically, what she had said, like, she's really struggling with it because she feels she's so broken.

And, like, Stephanie said, like, she was out of town when it happened, and like, she sent their friend over to go check on Brandy.

Brandy was sitting in her nursery in the pitch black, holding her baby hysterically crying, like, really sad.

Um, but what she said was that, like, it was three years ago.

She are they kissing in the video yes okay

and they look like they're dating like they like they know each other but it was just like a hookup um what she had said was that basically brian has been so there for her these last two years she would be you know remiss devastated and heartbroken if she didn't try and have the same kind of grace for him that you know he put out to her so it does seem like that she's gonna stay with him and I don't know.

I'm kind of a fan of them staying together.

I don't know why.

I feel relieved.

No, I know.

I just think like i married i don't know like if it was me like goodbye like i would literally kill then but she's already seen this video she knows about this video she made peace with the how do you know that isn't that what you said this video is from a while ago it's from i don't know if she had seen it three years ago they didn't make that clear oh okay sorry i thought that's what you meant no i think um she saw for the first time on social media which is really hard got it I don't know.

I'm just, I'm kind of rooting for them.

I feel like they, they have like a real marriage and it's always been like up and down.

And I don't know.

I think that they can get past it.

I really do.

I'm rooting for them too and I just thought I had a lot of respect for how she was very upfront with like everything and then like the baby started to cry and it was just like all so sad I was like do you know what I'm like how overwhelming yeah just it's a lot and then the COVID of it all and having to be in the hotel room I'm rooting for Brandy I really am I think she's Do you think she's going to come back?

I don't know.

I felt like she wasn't, but then after watching the reunion, her face everything head on.

I kind of feel like she could and she should.

She should.

Also,

I feel like.

And I think she has work to do on her relationship with Tiffany because they had an interesting conversation.

And I do feel like there could be like a sickening friendship there.

I really do.

But the Cameron of it all with Tiffany, like it was the same thing.

They just didn't stop.

And like, like Cameron's screen, like, I love her, but like, Cameron's screenshots, like, they were really cringy, like all of her paperwork.

Like, she was basically trying to say, like, that something Tiffany put up was like racist towards white people.

And it's like.

Twitter like took down the meme and she's like, I have a picture of Twitter taking it down.

It's like, girl, stop.

Like, it was just, it was nothing of the sort.

Do they come to any sort of understanding?

They hug.

Okay.

But then on Twitter, they were like being mean to each other again last night.

So it was just stupid.

Got it.

Okay, I'm going to watch that sounds like what I thought it was going to be.

It was boring, but honestly, it wasn't any more or any less boring than the Real House Size of New York.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

Okay, let's take it to Deer Toasters, our advice segment, where we give pretty good advice to people who ask for it and to those who don't.

The advice segment is brought to you by Brouch.

The best electric toothbrush on the market works great.

All right, let's dive into dear toasters.

I do believe we also have an update today, which I'm very excited about.

Hi, Claudia and Jackie.

Hi!

My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year, and we've been living together since August.

We're still figuring out the balance of combining our lives and having some independence.

My boyfriend's family has a lake house not too far from where we live, which we go to here and there throughout the year.

Anyways, his birthday is in June, and I also have a bachelorette party to attend in June near his birthday.

His birthday falls on Wednesday this year, so I asked if he would want to do the lake with his friends the weekend before so I could go.

He said no, he wants to do it the weekend of his birthday week i asked why he wouldn't want to pick a weekend where i can go and he said he shouldn't have to explain since it's his birthday oh my god diva he also said since i have plans already it shouldn't matter i expressed how i feel left out sorry i expressed how i feel left out and he said why

why we can celebrate together on his actual birthday am i being selfish or crazy uh okay this story just got weird because at first i thought he was just being like a big baby about his birthday like no i wanted that weekend but it sounds like he actually wants you to not come right like it's a boys thing you'll celebrate Wednesday and then you'll be at your bachelorette party.

He'll be at his boys' weekend.

Um, are there other girls going?

Are other girlfriends going?

Is it just going to be you and his friends?

In which case, like, I do understand him, but I just wish he would communicate that.

Like, it's not bad to say, I just want to be with the boys.

Yeah.

But communicate it.

Yeah.

And also, like, if that's what he wants and there's nothing like nefarious, that's my favorite word during Deer Toaster.

It is.

Is it nefarious or is it not nefarious?

My favorite word is during deer toaster.

Layered.

Because it is.

It's always layered.

And here's the thing: you need to evaluate everything.

Is it nefarious?

Of course, you've got an issue.

If it's not nefarious and he just wants a weekend with his boys, like, take the weekend off, enjoy it.

Like, why are you complaining?

But we need communication.

No, but we also need communication from her.

Like, what's the setup?

Is it just boys?

Is it girlfriends?

What goes down at the lake?

Is there like a local pub?

What goes down at the lake?

Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die.

You don't belong.

Are they going to see where the poets went to die?

Because that doesn't sound nefarious.

That sounds like a nice bonding experience experience amongst men.

100%.

But the way that he's acting like, I want my birthday on this weekend is not, is very childish.

So that to me is just a little annoying.

No, but just maybe you haven't thought yet that he just wants to be with his boys, in which case you should be supportive.

But if there are other girls going and he's making it impossible for you to come, like, that's fucking shysty.

Agreed.

Hi, Claude's Jackson, Dr.

for Champion.

Hi, yes.

Others would say shisty.

Others would say nefarious.

Some would say nefarious.

You're right.

Next up.

I'm writing to you with a unique predicament.

I feel totally stuck in my situation.

Bear with me as I break down the story of my strange neighbors.

My Strabers.

I made that up.

I just didn't want her getting credit for it.

I recently moved into an apartment and my unit is at the end of the hallway.

Across from me is an older couple who, by all means, seemed sweet when I first moved in.

This is like the movie The Duplex with Drew Barrymore and Ben Staylor.

Have you seen it?

No.

It is criminally underrated.

It is the fucking funniest movie.

Everyone should watch it.

They haven't gone outside their apartment since last year because of COVID.

They have every grocery item delivered, trash picked up up from the door, and even laundry delivered.

Because they're stuck inside the house, their doors are wide open.

But sorry.

Because they're stuck inside the house, their doors and windows are always open.

So when I come in and out of the hallway, they are always flagging me down to chat.

Because my unit is at the end of the hallway, I have no choice but to pass them every time I leave or enter.

Conversations seem to grow longer and longer every time I take one foot out my door, which drives me crazy.

I try to act rushed, but they always throw those crazy long stories on me, and I don't want to be mean by cutting them off.

I just don't have the backbone to say, hey, I really got to go now.

They clearly have no interaction with the outside world and they take it out, all out on me, when I honestly don't have the time for hallway chatter that can sometimes take up to 15 minutes every time I leave.

That's just the tip of the iceberg.

Since I moved in, I've noticed they've been weirdly copying things that I do.

First off, I drink celery juice every morning.

After a week of moving in, my neighbors started having celery juice delivered every morning.

When I first moved in, I noticed they liked a specific type of music.

As soon as I told them I liked Taylor Swift, all they play now is Taylor Swift loud enough so that I can hear.

When I sleep in past a certain hour and I haven't left my house yet, they text me, hey boo, are you okay?

I hate that they seem to monitor my every move.

One of the weirdest things is that I left my window open one day when it was really hot and my neighbor straight up told me that he took that opportunity to look inside my apartment and made all these comments about what he saw.

Every time I have a friend over, their music immediately turns off and I know it's because they're trying to eavesdrop.

They have even quoted things I've said in private conversations to people within my apartment.

They're not afraid to admit it.

I don't mean to be a bitch, but I hate these neighbors.

Oh, sorry.

You know, I hate that these neighbors seem obsessed with me and are constantly cornering me with lengthy conversations every time I step foot out of my apartment.

I can't ignore them.

Trust me, I've tried.

And what do I do about the obvious eavesdropping?

A toaster seeking privacy and peace.

I think there's a multitude of things going on here because at first I was about to be like, girl, you are a bitch.

Like, these people have not left their house in a year.

Yeah, I was just going to say, wear headphones when you leave.

No, and like, okay, give them five minutes.

Like, it's some, like, it's, it's a nice thing.

But the music and the eavesdropping.

Not being able to have a conversation in your own home.

Looking into your window, you got to move.

Yeah, that's, it's as simple as moving.

Yeah.

and whether or not you like love your apartment, there's a better one, and it doesn't include nosy neighbors.

I totally agree.

Because you can't tell off old people.

First of all, they won't even understand what you're saying and too.

It's so disrespectful.

Yeah.

You have to move.

It's as simple and as complicated as that.

It's not.

Yeah.

You know what?

This is not layered.

I don't see another path forward other than moving.

100%.

So pack your bags.

Hit, you know, apartments.com and check it out.

Yeah.

All right.

Final one is an update.

From the toaster writing in,

oh, so former toaster writing and following up about my boyfriend that's in the fbi and never posts pictures of me

first off i screamed when i heard claudia read my email and laughed so hard hearing the advice you ladies are exceptional it truly was the reality check i needed okay so for those who remember her boyfriend has like a really serious job in the fbi and he never posts her on social media because he's like just protected and that's just not what he does.

And because we gathered, he's probably like seen some shit and is like smarter than the rest of us to know not to put your personal life.

And she was just like all butthurt about it when we literally told her what a blessing this is.

Like thirsty, thirst traps on Instagram for men.

It's just like, you have no idea what a gift it is to have a boyfriend who hates social media.

100%.

So she said, you ladies are exceptional.

It was truly the reality check I needed.

My sober self was so appreciative and listened, and then my drunk self fucking let loose on him in the middle of a bar.

It was so bad.

Like truly embarrassing thinking back about it.

The next day, we talked things through and we were able to discuss reasons why me not being on his social media bothered me so much.

And it was super beneficial.

It's been a month since my blow up.

And without me even asking, he has created an Instagram handle under his middle name this past weekend.

Only his close friends know it's him, so you can't find him by searching his actual name.

Middle ground, I didn't even know existed.

And since creating the account, he has posted pictures of him and our dog.

It's fine, but where am I?

Just kidding.

I'm truly over it, and I don't care.

Plus, our dog is the most precious gem of a canine, so I understand.

Looking back, I can hear you both.

Snatchler, learn your lesson.

Fellow toasters, always follow the steed's advice.

Signed a dramatic drunk.

This girl's funny.

I'm glad that she can laugh at herself.

That's what is the beauty of deer toaster sometimes is that like it really does take a third-party perspective with no personal interest in the matter to give you like a fresh perspective.

And I felt like this was actually some of our best advice.

I totally agree.

It's nice to see things from someone else's point of view.

I'm glad that it all worked out.

And also, even though like our advice was just to like appreciate what you have, sometimes you, even if it's still bothering you, you know, feelings sometimes are illogical.

So if you have to share that, get it off your chest.

I'm glad you guys found a path forward.

Communication is key.

Again,

communication, make sure it's not nefarious, period.

Period.

Period.

Make sure it's not nefarious.

And you know what I hate?

When things are nefarious.

Oh, that's when the problems start.

So that was dear toasters.
