Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the morning toast.

That feels so good to say.

As does, hey, Claude, how you dern?

It feels so close to you right now.

Welcome back to the morning toast for you, Jackie.

I've been here for a while, but it's so great to have you back.

I mean, I did love Friends and Family Week at the Morning Toast.

I did, but there's nothing like, you know, podcasting with a gal.

No, there's nothing like it.

When I first left for my retreat, I was very much looking forward to getting a break from the toast, but I have to be honest, I'm so happy to be back.

I need to give a little update why it's podcast only and where we're at right now.

There's just been a crazy turn of events.

You guys, the wellness retreat was so fabulous that I decided to extend a few days because I just felt like I had more wellness.

Your work

was not done.

My work was not done.

And so I vlogged my entire first week of the wellness retreat.

It's pretty detailed and I just posted it to Patreon.

So if you watch the vlog, you'll understand like sort of the genesis of emotions.

You know, I got there.

I was so like nervous and awkward.

I barely remember that girl.

First day jitters.

First day jitters.

But then over the week, like I really blossomed like a flower.

And I'm just really having a great time.

I feel very well.

I feel like I'm doing everything that I wanted to do.

And I just wanted to do a little bit more of it.

So we will be doing remote audio this week while I just finish out my time here.

And the program is really meant to be two weeks.

I learned once I got here.

So there's still more things for me to do while I'm here.

And I'm able to work and do the toast with this like newfound perspective.

Would you say you have a newfound joie de viv?

I would say it's exactly that.

Like I have so much energy and I'm working out so much and I'm eating well and I just, I feel really good.

And I also, I want to do the toast while being here so that I can bring that to the show.

Okay, well, I did have a programming update that I actually forgot to update you on as well, is that Ben is free tomorrow to come in studio with me.

So we will have a YouTube episode tomorrow with Ben because Ben was supposed to do every episode with me last week.

And then just like his schedule changed, and then Taylor Strecker, like, was available.

So it ended up being great.

I had a robust lineup of co-hosts, but the people wanted more Ben because we promised them more Ben.

So he is committing to the craft and he is coming to studio with me tomorrow.

So, YouTube, we're going to play it, you know, by ear, day by day.

But tomorrow we will have a YouTube episode with the one and only Ben's offer.

That's good.

I'm excited for everyone because everybody loves a blunge episode so much.

I'm like a little sad for me because he's coming for my job.

Big time.

He's coming for your couch.

He is coming for my couch, but you know what?

This week, I'm happy to share it and I'm happy to come at you audio only.

Like, I really have unplugged so much last week.

This week, I'm plugging back in, but everything that went down last week, like in the pop culture, in the pop culture, I like haven't watched, I haven't even turned my TV on once since I've been here.

So I've really been out of the loop.

I spent the morning catching up on what's been going down.

So I'm really looking forward to getting into these stories.

Like I've, I've truly missed taking a bite of the morning toast.

I'm not going to lie.

And I'm also just excited to like start this Monday off with you so we can just like catch everyone up.

I mean, I was out of studio Thursday and Friday.

You've been gone for a week.

Like

the people, honestly, like, I know you were unplugged.

I was not.

And the people were like, Where is Jackie?

Like, you kind of just like bounced with no kind of, you know,

explanation.

Like, there will be no explanation, there will only be wellness retreat, pretty much.

Like, that's how you bounced.

And I don't think people thought, like, you were going to be unplugging.

You didn't just give us like an update or anything.

So, I was kind of, you know, not to make it about me, but I was really like the vessel in which people were communicating, you know, through you.

And I just like, can you update everyone?

Like, you did not end up, you know, getting, you know,

brought into a cult.

Like, no, it's all good.

It's all good.

And there were a few times like where I wanted to like update people, but I didn't really have anything to say.

Like, hey, guys, I'm here.

All's well.

So I did need you to be my spokesperson and let everyone know that like things were going really well for me, like so well that I didn't feel the need to be on my phone.

My screen time was down 30% last week.

Wow.

I just got, I just got those numbers in.

Those figures are astounding.

Those figures are astounding.

My iPad screen time, 0%.

Well, yeah, of course, because your iPad is for the toast.

No, I know, but if I had like wanted to watch a movie or something, I probably would have used my iPad.

So, anyways, just screens were down.

And I feel like I did give everyone warning.

Like, the weeks leading up to the, to the retreat, I was like, I'm going away.

I'm unplugging.

Like,

and then I did it.

And I just don't think people expected that I would do it in such a serious, that I would take it so seriously.

You know, like, I always say I'm going to unplug, but like, I literally never take the cord out of the wall, you know?

No, I do know.

It's just, I'm weirdly so busy here and productive.

And when I have free time, I've been trying to read, but even this, like, I started a new book on the plane here and I still haven't finished it.

That's how little free time I've had.

It's never taken me so long to read a book in my life.

Speaking of books, I decided to take the Redheads' recommendation for the best book of 2020.

And on my trip, I started on the plane and I finished it like two days later.

I started Before We Were Strangers by Renee Carlino, which was the Redheads' top pick.

It beat me out in the bracket for Redhead's Madness.

Yes, you had to see what it was all about.

What were your thoughts?

You know, it was really good.

I loved the story.

It was very sweet and easy to read.

I was surprised that it was the top choice

just because, have you read any Colleen Hoover books for

Redheads?

Yes, we read Layla, but it's not your typical Colleen Hoover.

Oh, you also read Verity, right?

No?

No, not for Redheads.

Oh, no, it was really good.

I was a little read it.

It was really good.

I was surprised that it was the top pick, but I gave it five stars.

Like, it was was really good.

I was just surprised.

Yeah, because you were expecting like your world to be like totally rocked.

Yeah.

You have to remember, like, where we came at it from was like, this was Snitch's first choice.

Like, she chose this sort of random book that no one, it wasn't really, I don't think any of the Redheads had already read it.

And so, we were just like so pleasantly surprised by it.

Whereas you're coming in from the opposite angle where there's so much hype around it.

Yeah, that's true.

And then I started another Renee Carlino book that I'm hating.

Which book?

I don't know what it's called, but it's about an author who reads a book about her own life or whatever, you know?

That sounds good.

It's so confusing.

Like I can't even explain how much I'm not liking it.

I understand.

Well, I'm glad that you're keeping abreast with the Redheads.

You know, it's never too late to keep abreast.

It's so never too late.

Like, I can't stress that enough, you know?

Because like, look at me.

I'm so late.

But I'm so.

You're like a year late, but I'm right on time.

Right on time.

Did you have any inclination to listen to the Redheads episode after you read the book?

Oh, you know, I should do that, duh.

You should.

And you know, sometimes that might make you like the book more.

Not with Before We Were Strangers, but some of the other like more dense books that we've read after like discussing it and debriefing it, and especially hearing Dana's perspective where she pretty much like explains what the book actually meant to do.

You tend to like it more.

Have you read It Ends With Us?

No, should I?

Oh my God.

Okay, so I read it because Counselor obviously forced me to read it.

And now I've been like recommending it to everyone.

And I think I've ended up on Book Talk because, like, I'm such a reader now.

Um, and it's like the TikTok community has like regarded it as like the number one book to make you cry.

It's like in everyone's, you know, here are the five books that made me cry this month.

And it's always, it's so stunning, Jackie.

And I think a lot of the toasters have read it because it's like an old, like, I'm like way behind on the trends, obviously, yet again.

Okay, I will add it to my list.

I don't know when I'll read it.

It won't be like today, but you know, I'll get around to it eventually.

Of course.

I try to get around when someone profusely recommends a book.

I try to respect them by reading it.

And also it tells you it tells you a lot about a person when they insist that you read a certain book.

Well, okay, if I'm going to like insist, well, you recommend every book to me.

So every book that I love, you've already read.

So this is like the only one I have over you, you know?

No, but like that's just, then it's just an exchange of books.

And that's like so fun.

We're just like two bookworms exchanging knowledge.

100%.

Like this is turning into an episode of the Redheads.

Oh my God, no, please.

Excuse me.

No, I just don't like want to be like, cause I know what it feels like to like not be into reading and then having people talk about it.

And like, this is like a pop culture show and people who don't read are like, oh my God, fast forward, 15 seconds ahead, 15 seconds ahead, 15 seconds ahead.

Okay, but if I may, conversely, like you were one of those people, like you actually were the team captain.

And it's like, if the captain could be converted, like maybe, maybe there's something there.

No, I don't know.

If you guys haven't learned this about me yet, like I'm constantly evolving and changing my opinions based on new information.

And I feel like that is really, I think, one of our core principles of our brand here at the Morning Toast.

Like, normalize just like saying things and then like disagreeing with them two days later, you know?

No, a hundred percent.

Like, did you ever think, like, when we started this show that it would take me to a wellness retreat?

I definitely don't think that that's the craziest thing ever.

Like, you've been on this,

in one way or another, you've been on this like journey of slowing down for the last like four years, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, I I guess.

I guess I do.

I don't know.

I just feel like a wellness retreat is like such an extreme measure.

Oh, it is, but you are so extreme.

I'm so, thank you.

I'm so extreme.

You are an extremist.

Like you're crazy.

I don't do anything halfway.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

Oh my God, your face is so red.

I know this like light that's in front of me is already making my face red.

And now like I'm laughing and blushing and I'm a tomato.

Well, you might be on a wellness retreat and have like a day of like wellness ahead of you, but like I have a day of opening all the boxes that have arrived in my house since I left on Wednesday and unpacking me and Ben's stuff.

Like I have the worst day ahead of me.

So like if you want like we could podcast for seven hours just so I don't have to go run my errands.

Yeah, no, but you know, sometimes self-care looks like hard work because imagine how you'll feel at the end of the day.

That is so true.

And I'm actually like looking forward to like having a clean, full home.

And like I actually have so many products that I ordered

that like are in those boxes that I'm really looking forward to.

I'm not like dreading it that much, but the unpacking is like really giving me ajada, especially because I already have a full hamper of laundry like from before when I left, you know?

Oh, I do know.

That's a, it's a big day, but you had a great weekend.

So that's the price you pay.

I did.

Just like for neglecting your responsibilities.

100%.

But it was worth it because I really had a fabulous, I had the anti, obviously, wellness weekend.

I had a weekend just like full of bender-like activities.

I was just like drinking a lot.

But it was great.

Like I got to see one of Ben's best friends got engaged.

So they had like a very small celebration, but it was so nice just to like dance in the moonlight.

Like I was literally dancing under a full moon and it was like stunning.

And I don't think I ever would have had like an appreciation for the fact, like I just so appreciated like a dance floor.

Do you know what I mean?

Oh, I do know what you mean.

And also like, shout out to the full moon that's happening right now.

Shout out to me.

That's been a really beautiful moon.

And what's crazy about a full moon, it's like it's not specific to just us like on the east coast like the whole world experienced that fullness no that's like literally yeah no wait that doesn't sound right because half the world like looks another way no i i that's like that scene in sex in the city when like steve and miranda are fighting but he calls her from a payphone and he's like hey just look out the window right now and it's a full moon and that's when miranda knows like she's like hey come by after work and then it's like you know the beginning of the end.

That's like this movie that I watched.

It's probably where I got the idea where it's like, I forget what movie, but it was like a mother and son.

It's like, if you look at the moon, like, just know I'm looking at the same moon.

It connects.

If it's the same moon, it must be full for everyone.

It connects people.

Yes, it connects people.

So tonight, take a look at your full moon and then say, I love the morning toast.

Yeah, no, just remember, and then like go subscribe and leave a five-star review about how beautiful, stunning, and smart we are.

Yeah, and then check out our Patreon channel because I just dropped my wellness retreat vlog.

It really has like so much information about where I am, what I'm doing.

And you do see the evolution of my expectations.

Yeah.

And you know what?

As a viewer, I felt calm watching it.

You know, like looking at that stunning sunset on your way home from dinner, stunning.

Stunning.

And I just brought peace, like you and your cafe, like there was just like so much wellness oozing out that like, I think it affected me.

I'm so glad to hear that.

But also, I just wanted to say to you, like, you had a weekend where you said like you weren't, you were unwell, whatever, but like wellness also looks different for everyone else.

And I do think for you, like a weekend of like fun in the sun, dancing in the moonlight, taking shots, like that's your version of wellness.

100%.

And I actually don't even feel that bad right now, which is shocking given like I flew in at midnight last night on a plane that was just riddled with torture.

Like I can't, I never fly JetBlue ever.

But TBG actually says when he's asked, like, what do you think is the best domestic airline in the States?

He always says, JetBlue.

And he has good reasons.

They have free Wi-Fi.

They have that little snack cabinet.

It's just like a modern airline.

And I just did not have that experience last night.

Like, first of all,

I think they decided to put all the most annoying people on one plane.

Do you know what I mean?

Like the plane was just filled with annoying people.

Like

everyone was talking so loud and every single person was on the phone till the second we hit 10,000 feet.

Like everyone was just talking.

Like the woman behind me, her kids, Mayor and Esther, had to go to bed at nine with the babysitter.

Literally, the guy on the right just bought a new property for $1.5 million.

He thinks they'll sell it for a year, collect rent, and then sell it at the top of the market.

Like I knew what was going on in everyone's life.

There was just such yentas on the plane.

Like everyone just chat, chat, chat, chat, chat.

And it was just so fucking annoying.

And it was, I can't explain why it was riddled with torture this whole journey home, but me, Ben, and Margo like wanted to die.

Like when we got off the plane, Ben was like,

I literally feel we just like we just landed like a 13 hour flight from Israel when it was a two and a half hour flight from Fort Lauderdale.

Like it was not even crazy.

It was just torture.

I will never fly JetBlue again.

And I cannot explain why to you.

I really, I can't put it into words.

Okay.

I really like JetBlue, so I'm going to wait till I have my own torturous experience.

But I will say, flying on a Sunday night from Florida to New York is going to be jam-packed.

And it's going to be like Yenta Central, you know?

Yenta Central.

Yeah.

And if you don't know what a Yenta is, it's a Yiddish word for just like a gabbing gossip girl.

Like I'm a Yenta, but like in public, I know how to tone it down.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, this is the morning yentas.

Like that's what we do, but not on an airplane.

We don't post an episode of the morning toast on an airplane.

I was literally just being bombarded by audio and it was just killing me because it was also 10 o'clock.

Like I was so tired.

I'm like, go to sleep.

Go to sleep.

Do you think that Mayor and Esther went to sleep?

I hope so.

And you know, I was actually listening and I'm like, did she say Mayor and Esther?

Because those are like, that's my best friend's parents' names.

And then I realized she was talking about their bedtime.

So she wasn't talking about Mayer and Esther, like my friend's parents.

That's hysterical, but maybe she was.

You never know.

Yeah.

So that was my journey home.

And I'm just looking forward to a great week.

I'm feeling good on this Monday.

I feel like we're going to have great episodes this week.

And there's so much to catch up.

And I cannot wait to talk to you about all the drams.

I can't wait to talk to you.

There's so much to catch up.

And I'll just give one more just like quick plug because I don't want to spend the whole time talking about the retreat.

So you and I are going to do a Patreon episode Q ⁇ A where everyone, if you have a question about the retreat, put in Toast After Dark.

We'll do a master post so I can answer all of your questions if you still have more, which I'm assuming that you do.

There's just so much to discuss.

So that's patreon.com slash a morning toast.

New vlog is already up.

Wellness Q ⁇ A coming soon.

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

How?

And today's episode is brought to you by a new sponsor.

So all of our ladies, listen up because today's episode is brought to you by Hair Food.

They offer simple, super food-inspired products that will make your hair look and feel amazing.

Whatever hair texture or hair type you have, Hair Food has a recipe for you.

In addition to their beloved nourishing coconut milk and chai spice collection, you have to try some of their new recipes.

They have the apple cider vinegar hair rinse, which is perfect for days when your hair needs a gentle cleanse before conditioning.

No shampoo needed.

They also have a turmeric and almond oil detangling milk, which takes care of the most stubborn kinds of knots and reduces frizz.

I needed that in Florida.

I forgot it at home.

The Shea Butter and Pear Color Repair Concentrate makes overprocessed hair look vibrant and healthy.

All their products smell amazing and every hair food product is free of sulfates, power bands, dyes, mineral oils, and it is certified by PETA as cruelty-free.

I've used a lot of their products.

The vinegar hair rinse is probably my favorite because I've heard that apple cider vinegar is so good for your hair.

And I've done the hair rinse now from Hair Food twice.

And I just think, like, some days your hair, after having so many products in it, hot tools, like you just need a reset.

And the apple cider vinegar hair rinse is perfect for that.

I've been really getting into just like rinses and like masks.

And this one I really, really recommend.

And a detangling milk.

You know, detanglers are not just for children, adults get knots too.

So the turmeric and almond oil detangling milk, first of all, smells amazing, but also really helps if you have stubborn knots and frizzy hair like me.

So if you're looking for nourished, healthy hair, it's got to be hair food.

Look for it at Amazon, Walmart, and Target.

Again, hair food is sold at Amazon, Walmart, and Target.

If you're looking for nourished, healthy hair, check out hair food.

Love that.

Sign on, feed your hair.

Okay, first story, big story of the weekend.

The Real Housewives All-Star cast has jetted off to start filming.

The Real Housewives are getting ready for a wild ride.

The upcoming all-star crossover series is set to feature fan favorites Ramona Singer and Luanne Dela Seps for Real Housewives of New York City, Teresa and Melissa of Real Housewives of New Jersey, Kenya and Cynthia from Real Housewives of Atlanta, and Kyle Richards from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

The ladies started teasing the season over the weekend and posting photos in preparation for their adventures after they reportedly all met in Atlanta to jet off to Turks and Caicos.

So we've been hearing about this potentially happening for a while.

Now it's happening.

We have the cast.

It's a little bit...

smaller and more pared down than I had expected.

And apparently that's because they were having a hard time finding a house in Turks and Caicos.

The ones that they found, the biggest one had seven bedrooms, so they could only invite seven women.

And this is who they chose.

I want to hear your thoughts.

I mean, I just think it's so funny how, like,

this is a show.

It's allegedly a show about like rich women, you know?

And I've never seen more people take photos on a private plane than I have Melissa, Luann, and Ramona, because they flew together from Teterboro to Atlanta, which is where they all met.

And then they all flew together.

And it's like Kyle Richards, who like takes a private plane like every day.

It's like, so not a big deal.

She goes to work in her private plane, like took like one selfie, and that's how people knew she was on her way.

Like it just, the whole travel thing did make me laugh.

But besides that, I am excited.

I'm not, there's, I'm conflicted on the cast, honestly, but I do think, regardless, this is going to be iconically hysterical.

Like, we know Ramona Singer does not play well with others when literally the premise of the show is to play with others.

So, it's going to be very, very interesting.

And they've never done something like this.

So, I'm very interested to see how it pans out and if this is something they could do more.

I just, I wouldn't have chosen a lot of the people they chose.

Yeah, but I don't know who's missing.

I don't know what I would have added, but it does feel-I mean, if we have to stick with seven people, I do think that they chose a very strong seven, but it would have been nice to have like kind of some less OGs because when everyone is such an icon, exactly.

It's kind of like, you know, I don't know, it's hard to explain.

It's like you need people who are different personalities.

Not everyone can be the star.

No, and people who are icons feel as though, especially people who are OGs, feel as though, like, this franchise is theirs.

Ramona feels that way.

We know Teresa Judas feels that way.

Nini Leaks felt that way.

So it makes the dynamic difficult because they all think that they're better than each other.

And that's like kind of what we saw almost at like Andy's baby shower.

Like so many of the women who like Lisa Vannerpump didn't go.

Bethany Frankel didn't go because they think it's like their franchise and they're too good to hang out with other housewives.

And so I think a lot of these women think they're too good to hang out with other housewives.

Yeah, I feel like that's don't sign up for, don't sign up for a special that makes you hang out with other housewives.

Right.

No, but they're, but, okay, so say you take seven icons and put them in a house together, like

what is it's iconic, what is gonna happen?

I don't really know.

People are just like

waiting with bated breath for every detail that emerges from this.

Like, I don't know why.

I'm not like that excited, as excited as like I should be for like a housewives watcher.

I don't know why.

Sometimes it just feels like some of these things, it's too much of a good thing.

And I do think that's how things get ruined.

But I'm like, I, of course, will be watching this.

I don't know.

I just, I do feel like it's, it's overload.

I agree and I'm excited.

I think that we need to see how it pans out.

I don't think we can judge whether it's going to be amazing or whether it's going to be too much of a good thing until we see like a piece of footage.

I, oh, I totally agree.

And I'll be watching the whole show.

I'm just saying that's like my initial thought.

Thought and just a little bit of concern.

I, I hear that completely.

I'm.

I actually am quaking to just see how they choose rooms because we know it's a huge point of contention in New York with Ramona.

And I just know that that she bombarded her ass into that house and took the best room.

I just know it.

Yeah, but like, is Kyle going to stand for that?

Is Kenya going to stand for that?

No, that's why.

Like, this is going to be a really interesting dynamic.

It's just like seven alpha females in a room.

What can go wrong?

Yeah.

So

I don't know how that dynamic, how that plays out.

Thanks a lot, Ramona.

Thanks a lot.

Yeah.

Apparently they're also not filming for very long.

So I think this will be over soon.

Hopefully they'll be watching watching it shortly.

And

if it's really good, I'm assuming they'll do it again.

Hopefully, yeah, with like a different group.

Yeah.

So we'll keep it.

Is no one from Potomac?

No, no one from Potomac, no one from Dallas, no one from Salt Lake City.

And

it's kind of like

OC.

No one from OC.

Okay, I don't need a single person from OC.

I know, but like OC, I thought it was, there wasn't Potomac, Dallas, Salt Lake City because they're newer, they're not as established.

But the fact that there's no OC is actually really crazy because they could have thrown Shannon Medor in there.

She's

she's like been, she's not an OG, but she's been on for a very long time.

Yeah, it's starting to feel like the hunger games, like everyone sends a representative, you know?

No, it's the literal hunger games.

I think it's great.

I'm excited.

Until I do, I share your concern as well because it's just like an a sensory overload.

It's a housewife overload and it could be like torturous, but I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt.

I will definitely be watching it, and I just have been really enjoying the content.

Yes, me too.

We shall see.

We shall see.

Okay, next story: a new clip of Zach Efron sparks plastic surgery rumors.

We posted this photo to our Instagram.

Zach Efron was on Bill Nye's Earth Day musical special with Facebook Watch, and immediately fans are talking about his jaws and lips as soon as they saw his face, and screenshots soon percolated the internet.

I'm well, here's the thing: like Zach Efron has like weirdly been MIA.

Like, he moved to Australia, and even before that, he like hasn't worked a lot since The Greatest Showman.

He had that Netflix show where, like, he almost, you know, died climbing that rock or whatever, but he's been like very MIA.

He's kind of been on a similar journey as you, Jackie, like a wellness health journey.

And he's just kind of putting himself first.

So, no one has really seen him.

He's not like super active on like TikTok or anything.

He just like kind of lives this more like private, smaller life.

So this is like the first picture we've seen of him in a really fucking long time.

And it is a crazy photo.

Like let's just call a spade a spade.

It looks like he is wearing a filter.

Like he looks crazy.

And of course, he's a celebrity.

He lives in Hollywood.

People are like plastic surgery, facelift, lip filler, cheek filler, jaw filler.

Like, of course, that's where the mind goes.

But I did see a very convincing TikTok from a doctor who said, based on the swollenness that he's seeing, he believes it's very possible that Zach Efron had a dental surgery because his jawline is very swollen and his lips are very swollen and it looks like he's recovering from some sort of dental surgery.

So I'm choosing to believe that doctor, whom I'm not even entirely sure is an accredited doctor.

I just followed him on TikTok, but it was very convincing.

Okay, I agree with you.

I think that that could be a very reasonable explanation.

I'm just going to say, like, like you said, he hasn't been working.

He's pretty low-key.

So you're going to say he scheduled a dental surgery like the same week that he's doing this like one appearance.

One thing.

Yeah, for sure.

Just something to think about.

But honestly, like, I think he's so cute.

And

it kind of bums me out like every when these things happen and like everyone just starts like talking about the way someone looks when they've had a transformation.

It's so hard not to, especially with like celebrities who, that's what we do.

We talk about them.

Yeah.

Um, it's just like imagine being Zach Efron and it's like you thought like say he did get filler and he thinks he's looking like better than ever.

And then all of a sudden, like, these pics are going viral.

And the tweets, you know, they're not nice.

I saw some really mean ones.

I have to say, like, you're 100%

right.

100%.

But

the fact that Zach Efron is a man, like, I truly don't care.

Like, if we were having this conversation and we've just spoke about Chloe Kardashian's kind of transformation and people really did not like what we had to say, but I definitely agree with you.

Like, when we talk about plastic surgery on women, I'm much more, like, I do not get involved like for real but i just feel like i i honestly like welcome to the club zach ephron this is what women deal with all the time doesn't it suck oh wow that's an interesting p of i never thought of it between like how we talk about male plastic surgery versus female but that's an that's an interesting point well it's like women get and that's what what i was saying with chloe kardashian like okay let's

She claims she hasn't had surgery.

People think that she has.

Let's say she has, for argument's sake.

Like,

do you know how hard it is to be a woman in this day and age?

Not even a famous person, but a regular woman, and then a famous one who's just like constantly being scrutinized and just like wants to be perfect.

Like, I can see how Chloe Kardashian got to the place that she's at.

I really, really can.

A man, it's so fucking easy to be a man.

You fart and you roll out of bed and you brush your hair and you go to the Oscars.

And the older you get, the more handsome you get, according to society.

And the older you get, the more jobs you get.

And it's just like great to be a big man and old.

And it's like a woman, you're 31 31 and like you're considered disgusting like i just i can't feel bad for zach efron i'm really sorry and i like him a lot okay okay i think you're i think i think you've made some really fair points thank you i just i have a soft spot in my um in my heart for zach efron because for philip carlisle of course

right because of grady showman and like hairspray and of course high school musical

and so i don't know and also i feel like he's kind of been through a lot you know because he like went into rehab a few years ago.

He did?

Yeah, and we like barely remember it.

And then he's just been on this journey and the journey led him here.

No, I know.

And, you know, I agree with you.

Maybe I'm being a little harsh.

It's just like,

like, this is what women deal with all the time.

Yeah, that's fair.

That is fair.

Yeah.

Okay.

Are you ready for our next story?

Um, sure.

I think you look ready.

They can't see you, but you do look ready.

Okay, let's fucking do it.

The Janet Jackson Super Bowl incident will be getting the framing Britney Spears treatment.

Janet Jackson is getting the Britney Spears treatment.

Page 6 has learned.

Left Right TV, the production company behind the blockbuster Framing Britney Spears documentary, is working on a documentary about Jackson's infamous 2004 Super Bowl halftime show, We're Told.

It is time, but also like the Justin Timberlake overlap is interesting.

Left right.

Justin Timberlake woke up this morning, read this article, and is just vomiting.

And went back to sleep.

Yeah, no, like

he needs a major break from the public eye because the public needs a major break from Justin Timberlake.

And it appears from this news article, things are about to get a lot worse for him.

Yep, the Spears film shocked audiences when it premiered in February by retracing the steps that her ex, Justin Timberlake, took to spin a misogynistic narrative about their breakup with the help of the media and laying out the disturbing circumstances of the conservatorship that she has been under since 2008.

Timberlake may well find himself playing defense once more, defense once more, more, with the release of the Jackson Dock as the fallout from her NFL wardrobe malfunction is

wardrobe malfunction is widely believed to have boosted his career wise and career.

I did like a lot of messed up words and I just powered through.

You just powered through and I thought we were out of the woods.

Me too, but then it got worse.

Okay, start again.

Boost, okay.

Boost this because this is an interesting point.

Timberlake may well find himself playing defense once more with the release of the Jackson Dock as the fallout from her NFL wardrobe malfunction is widely believed to have boosted his career while stunting hers.

Oh, I mean, of course, like that's the culture.

That's literally what we were just saying.

Like bad woman, good man.

Like it's so primitive and stupid.

And you know, this is really the morning

hate Justin Timberlake fan club.

So I just love to see like a mediocre, like Justin Timberlake is so mediocre, like in everything that he does.

But like remember, do you remember when he performed and he won the Vanguard award at the VMAs and people were actually saying like he was the next Michael Jackson like literally like saying he was so talented and like I just like couldn't believe like the bar we have is like so low for our pop stars especially our male pop stars so As someone who's just kind of been like woke to the whole Justin Timberlake thing, like I'm so glad that the rest of the world joined me.

Yes, they're starting to join me at my table because we've been knowing this for years.

No, I know.

And it reminds me of Cody Brigsby because he loves Britney, the Peloton instructor.

And when Framing Britney Spears came out, everyone wanted him to talk about it.

And he was just like, I've been telling you about Justin Timmer, like,

this changes nothing for me.

No, and honestly, like, part of the reason I hated Justin Timmerlake doesn't really have to do with the Britney stuff and the Janet stuff because that's like stuff I've only recently learned.

I've just been like a spectator.

We both have.

And like, I just will remember that Vanguard performance like forever because people were like quaking, like literally like the greatest talent of our generation and i'm like this mediocre dancer slash singer i was just shocked so i'm really very much looking forward to justice being served yeah i don't remember when it started for me the hatred yeah you can't pinpoint a moment in time but maybe and this and this brings me back to your book what an amazing book that was and i do think you really

You really summed up the

divide at the time between Backsheet Boys and Insane.

And And so, as a like day one Backsheet Boys stand, I just think I was never really interested.

You know what?

Even as a young girl, like you had taste.

Yeah, thank you.

And that is the takeaway here.

That is the takeaway.

But I'm very much looking forward to this documentary and very much looking forward once again to justice being served.

Yeah, and honestly, I don't know what I'm looking forward to most, like justice, you know, for Janet Jackson or the justice on Justin Timberlake.

Like, I'm equally excited by both prospects.

Justice Timberlake.

Honey is a a companion that you absolutely need honey

okay next story is a two-parter um a little bachelor nation news that i feel as though we need to talk about first up the first promo for katie thurston's bachelorette season has been released and claudia and i were in the car together is getting fired

Someone is getting fired.

Claudia and I were in the car together when I saw it for the first time.

And there's just a lot to unpack, even though there's really not that much content there.

But fans get a sneak peek at the upcoming season starring Katie Thurston, a fan favorite from Matt James' season, in a teaser release by ABC on Sunday.

In the clips, she's heard saying, I am who I am, and I want to meet someone who knows who they are.

She is also wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the words, be a Katie.

She's also wearing a lot of other criminally offensive summer.

I'm gonna call the fashion police because I'm making a citizen's arrest.

Yeah, no,

they

these promos are actually usually really good exciting.

Seconding.

You get the vibe of like what that bachelorette is going to be all about.

They choose a great song.

They have a great red dress.

Sometimes you're not even excited for the season, but they really nail the promos.

Like everyone looks gorgeous.

The song is like so empowering.

And you get like some really good takeaways and quotes, if you will.

Right.

And from this bachelor promo, what we got was like some really terrible fashion choices.

And I feel like, I honestly feel defensive of Katie that they put her in that.

It was not right.

They did her wrong.

And honestly, I don't even really like die for her, but if they did this to Michelle, like there would be hell to pay.

Because first of all, there's so much to unpack because let's just talk about the pink dress that goes underneath the shirt for some reason, which I'll get into in one minute.

The purple dress is ugly.

It's purple.

I thought we had like a red motif.

Remember the roses?

Like I thought we had like a theme here.

So that just got thrown out the window.

The dress was literally like

prom 2007.

And then for some ungodly reason, they decided to tie a shirt on top of a poofy dress, which made no sense to me.

And

not only did the styling make no sense, but the messaging of the shirt made even less sense.

Be a Katie.

Okay.

As opposed to what?

Because I'm just Claudia.

No, I know.

I think if I may, just like try and, I didn't even realize she was wearing a t-shirt over the dress.

Like, wow.

You know, it wasn't a t-shirt and a skirt No, but then I was the dress from before

I saw another photo where she's wearing the t-shirt and a pencil skirt

Oh the the big purple zipper

Yeah, you could see you could see that skirt from a mile away.

How could I miss it?

Right.

So just all wardrobe options were really bad.

I think when they say be a Katie, they meant like, you know, in that moment where she

was against all the bullies.

And yes, in the world of bullies, stand up to them, sure.

Okay, but you could also take that message as be a snitch.

Well, I mean, I believe everyone, if everyone were like snitch, we'd be all right.

I just can't explain what this promo did for me.

And it gave me peace of mind.

It gave me peace of mind in my decision.

But I really think like some, while I got peace of mind, someone over there lost their mind because this was just so, so bad.

Disgraceful.

So, so bad that it had to be a story today.

Yeah, of course.

Have we ever made the only other time where we have made a bachelorette promo video, a fast five story, is when Becca Kufrin and the ABC team had the audacity to make their song Independent Woman by Kesha, when literally

we just had to point out the hypocrisy of choosing that song when you're literally like going on a show because you don't want to be an independent woman, like you want a boyfriend.

Right, totally.

So this is just on that level.

I just like,

I was shocked when I say shocked.

It was the Nene Leaks TikTok audio.

I was shocked, honey.

I mean, a white refrigerator.

Like, that's what I want.

It was, it was honestly offensive to fashion.

And honestly, it was offensive to women.

I completely agree.

And it was especially offensive to my community, the Maxinistas.

That ain't right.

That ain't right.

Okay, but our next piece of the Bachelor puzzle, Reality Steve is coming under fire.

Bachelor star Demi Burnett says Reality Steve made an unwanted and unprompted sexual advance towards her.

So Reality Steve has been in the news all week.

It started last week when a podcast called Chatty Broads with Becca from REC.

Martinez.

Yes.

Her and her co-hosts were talking about Reality Steve's past and the way that he wrote about a lot of female contestants when they were on the show, namely Jade Roper Tolbert.

Yes.

Oh my God.

Okay.

So I also was doing research because I asked, because I knew we were going to talk about this story.

And so I wanted to see like what he was talking about.

And I read some excerpts from his previous work.

And Jade Roper Tolbert, like, wasn't that long ago?

Like, I had heard that he was writing about like Chantal, but like, Jade Roper Tolbert, like, was really not that long ago.

And what he wrote about her was honestly one of the worst things I've ever, like when we go back and people's like tweets get researched.

It was one of the worst I've seen.

No, but it was like, it's not just he wrote about her once.

Like the way that he came for her, like during Crystal's season, like she couldn't be on, she couldn't be in a scene on the show without him like mentioning her entire past, everything she's ever done.

Like it was so creepy and so weird.

And I guess there are other examples where he's talked about women in that way throughout his career.

So Becca and her co-hosts brought that to light.

Um, and he apologized, and he said that he has apologized to Jade and Taysha and another contestant.

What do you say about Tayshia?

I don't know.

Because I was looking on Twitter, like, for like screenshots, and I saw stuff about Chantal and a lot about Jade.

Yes.

Oh, I didn't see this Chantal stuff.

It was like just disgusting, like, talking about her boobs and like how she's gained weight.

Like, are you fucking serious?

Do you know what you look like, sir?

Like, seriously.

Well, then he made his apologies, and then bachelor star Demi Burnett accused him of making unwanted and unprompted sexual advances towards her.

She wrote on Twitter that he had called her last August to tell her about a graphic sex dream he'd had about her.

She said, I was always friendly to you, and you took my friendliness as an excuse to trick me into listening to your sexual fantasies about me.

It felt gross.

I don't think I deserve to have you make me feel this way.

I was afraid to say anything out of fear of retribution, but then I thought of the many other future women to come on the show, and I don't think they deserve it either.

So, the bachelor contestants, all of them have like this really weird relationship with Reality Steve because it's like

he talks so much crap about them.

That's literally his job, and they have to also like hope that he likes them.

But he also uses them for content, like he uses a lot of them for podcast interviews and like website interviews.

So, I thought Demi did a really good job of like

because her statement was super long and it detailed the atrocious, like this disgusting dream sequence, but also how it's just like a really fucked up dynamic because, like, it's almost like all these girls live in fear of Reality Steve and his powerful platform.

And I didn't even know that he had outed Demi as bisexual before she even had a chance to like tell her family.

So he just, he's just like, I'm actually surprised, like, in this day and age, like

people,

conversations about Reality Steve beyond just like his basic, like this very strange dynamic he has with these women.

I'm surprised it hasn't been spoken about before.

And now that it is, I'm like, yeah, like that's actually really fucking weird.

Yeah, I agree.

And I mean, I think he obviously has a lot of people who read his site.

I try to avoid the spoiler, so I'm never seeing like the detailed stuff, but he's always just like putting every single piece of information he gets about someone.

And people like go to him when you find out someone from your town is going on the show.

So he just like has all of this.

It's such a weird dynamic that they, that they like live in fear of his this site.

So you're like nice to him.

And that's why Demi was like, he said he wanted to call me.

And like, this is a person who you just please.

This is a very scary person, an influential person.

So of course I'm like, oh, sure.

Like, let me get on the phone.

And he's like being a fucking freak, telling her about this like sexy dream he had about her.

And she's just like, uh-huh, uh-huh.

Cool.

Like, what?

Okay, ew, first of all.

Second of all, I really have a lot of respect for Demi because this is exactly what we're saying.

Like, nobody wants to be the first person to out the powerful person because at this, at a certain moment in time, like you, they still have that power.

So I have a lot of respect for Demi.

And I just like, I, I just always got like a weird vibe about reality, Steve.

Do you know what I mean?

Like, it's just like weird.

Like, what are you doing?

Yeah, I agree.

So

we'll keep you posted if there's anything else, but that's, I mean, we said we wouldn't talk about the batcher anymore, but this is.

I'm sorry.

Like with that promo, they were making it too hard not to.

I totally agree, but You know what?

Maybe they did it in the future.

Maybe that's the strategy.

Maybe that's the strategy.

That's a pretty good

strategy.

We fell right into it.

I also saw that Caitlin, Bristow, and Tayshia have been together at some destination.

I have to assume that they're filming.

Yes, they're in the bubble.

In the bubble, but they left yesterday because Caitlin was on a plane.

But I'm just like confused.

Is Chris Harrison coming back or no?

I don't think for

these seasons.

Because I heard they announced Tayshia and Caitlin like as the the hosts, but then it was like, no, they're actually more like mentors.

Like, Chris might be back, but is he not?

I don't think that he is.

I don't think that they would need two mentors if there wasn't a Chris Harrison-sized hole.

I just can't believe how in the last year, like, the bachelor franchise has fallen apart.

Cause like there were, if in this lifetime, like, there was very few things you could count on.

And you could always count on Chris Harrison to like show up and just do his job.

And we are now living in a Chris Harrison-free universe.

And I find that really just crazy.

Yeah, crazy.

So I guess they finished filming Katie's season and then they decided to like tease it and they gave us that.

Cool.

Are you ready for our fifth and final story?

It's the final story.

Yeah.

Okay, Get the Panel Story is technically a little biz news, something that we report on the Morning Toast Instagram.

I'm sorry, it's a little biz news,

but it's a little, like it's a little bit biz, a lot of bit entertainment, and a little bit SpaceX because Elon Musk is it and is it a little bit country?

You know what?

It's honestly not.

Like, I swear.

Why, Miley Cyrus?

I guess, but who knows what she'll be doing?

So true.

Guys, Elon Musk is hosting SNL on May 8th with musical guest Miley Cyrus.

And I'm not going to lie, like, I'm

excited.

It's crazy.

I'm excited.

I'll be watching.

You know, technically, I guess there are worse musical guests than Miley.

And I like, I know her music, so that's kind of cool.

It's pretty cool.

Yeah, but like, she hasn't come out with a new song in a while.

Like, was she just gonna do like prisoner and

you know night sky?

Yeah, I was born around.

Actually, that song has really grown on me.

No, and you know, I'm very hard on Miley on this show, and I have every right to be because it's my show.

And if you don't like it, get the fuck out of here.

But it's such a good song.

I was born around, I don't belong to anyone.

Oh, no,

don't need to to be loved by you.

Yeah, I agree with you.

I guess she will be performing those songs.

Maybe she has new music, maybe it's a new album.

Um, so I think it's actually good pairing her and Elon.

I could see her in some sketches.

I think it's gonna get like super, you know, freaky, like

in UFO.

I don't know.

I'm honestly really excited.

I'm a big fan of Elon's.

Like, me too.

I keep up with Elon.

You keep up with the Musks?

I keep up with the Musks.

Mae Musk is actually out here like killing it.

No, she is literal, like, maybe it's Maybelline, maybe it's Mae Musk.

No, maybe it's Mae Musky.

Maybe I have to work on that.

Maybe it's Elon's mom.

No,

but also, like, I keep up with XAE12.

I keep up with Grimes.

I keep up with the whole Musk family.

But you know what's crazy?

So do I, but you know what's crazy and why I'm really looking forward to this SNL moment?

Because I don't think I've actually ever heard Elon Musk talk.

Claudia, he has an accent.

From what country?

I'm not sure where he's from originally, but he has a very thick accent.

And I don't think that's it.

No way.

I feel like he's German.

Like that's the vibe I get.

Let's see.

He's from South Africa.

Oh, I totally see that.

Like 100%.

That just makes him like even hotter.

Okay, so like, that's what I'm saying.

Like, I feel like I know so much about Elon because I too keep up with the Musks, but I really have never heard the man speak.

So I'm just like looking forward to like, what is his personality like?

What does his voice sound like?

How does he pronounce his child's name?

Like these are the questions that I have.

And I do think they will all be answered for me on May 8th.

I think so too.

Like I think that his monologue will definitely address, you know, everyone's fascination with his child's name.

And I think that he clearly has a sense of humor if he's taking this on.

We were talking about this privately and I just, I would like to know how this happened.

Like, does Elon have representation?

Like, did SNL reach out to him?

Is this like a lifelong dream of his?

And I also think those are questions that will be answered somehow on the show because it's, it's, it's not unheard of for them to have like a business person and not a celebrity host, but it's not common.

Right.

No, that my first thought was like, who booked this?

Because Elon Musk, yes, is very famous, but he's not a traditional celebrity in the sense that he has like a, you know, a musical or an acting talent.

So I don't know if he necessarily even has like a talent agent.

Like he might have like a business manager.

I don't know.

So I'm just curious how how they got in touch with him.

Like did he book it himself?

Like he responded to the email.

Like I'm just really curious on the back end.

And if anybody like who works,

like he's a CEO.

CEOs don't have talent agents, but he's also really famous.

So it's just like really confusing.

So I'm really curious like on the logistical elements of it all, but also there, there are questions I need answered.

And I do think that I will get all that I'm looking for.

I do have plans May 8th.

Like, so I'm like kind of nervous that I'm going to have to watch it the next morning and I'm just going to be like so out of the loop.

I know, but you'll record it and it will be there for you.

Elon will be waiting for you.

Also, I was reading some of like the biz journals, well, just like one headline, and they were like, This is an interesting thing because, like, the host of SNL could actually like affect, it could affect the markets.

Like, depending on what he says, like, Tesla's stock could go up or down.

And he's been known to like say things, and then the stock go wild.

Well, you know what?

I wonder.

Remember when he went on Joe Rogan and he was the talk of the town, and there was like a million memes smoking?

Right.

I wonder if that made the stock go up or down it definitely made it go up and Elon Musk because I follow him on Twitter he's actually oh that was weird sorry

he's actually like very

in the know like he's always tweeting about like funny memes like about what's going on in the world so it's it's actually like not the craziest thing that he's hosting it it's just like crazy because it's never been done yeah no it's not that crazy but it's sad but it's crazy and I'm really excited to watch.

And also, I was just going to say.

I'm going to need like a 30-minute monologue, by the way.

Like the, like the four-minute one's not going to cut it.

Yeah, I agree.

And it better be like detailed.

Like, we want to know everything about you, Elon.

And say the name.

Say the child's name.

Because we need addressers.

Angel.

I heard the kid's name is Angel.

It's XAE.

No, because I saw an interview where some reporter was like, how's X-A-E double 12 degree?

Whatever.

And he's like, What?

And she's like, How's XAE?

And he's like, What are you saying?

And she's like, How's your son?

And he's like, Oh, he's good.

So they obviously don't call him that.

Okay.

Like, Elon was shook by this woman.

Okay, that's so crazy.

And also, we really should have had Grimes as the musical guest.

Like, really make it a family affair.

We should have.

She's a singer.

I'm sure you could have arranged that.

Like, you want me?

You got to take my singer wife.

But, like, they would have, have Grimes on SNL.

I'm sure she's been on SNL.

No, I don't think so.

I know you don't respect her music.

I did not, you said that, not me.

I don't, but I do respect her music.

I have one of her songs in my, like, in my, in one of my playlists, so I know one.

I just would have loved like a family affair.

And that way, it's like for quarantine.

Like, it's just they're all coming from one household.

It would have been so much easier.

Yeah, I agree, but I'm sure like Miley will.

No, no, this is the best thing to happen to Miley ever.

I agree.

I agree.

I'm happy for her.

Know that I am.

Yeah, so those were the fast size stories.

And I feel as though you actually desperately needed to know those stories.

I think you needed to know everything that was said today.

Like we've just been so all over the place, well, me mostly.

And so now we are all caught up.

I really feel like it's hard when I'm not keeping everyone abreast.

When it's so in your DNA to keep people abreast.

And now I feel I feel kept abreast.

I feel like I'm keeping others abreast.

And that's where I like to be abreast.

You are breastio.

Breastio problems.

So, what do you got planned for the rest of the day at the retreat?

So, I already did my morning workout, and I feel so fabulous.

And because I only have a few days here, I really am going to try and make the most of it.

And I might, well, I guess I have lunch soon.

We're going to upload this, and then I'll have lunch, and then I'm going to work out again in the afternoon.

Also, we'll be recording some Patreon episodes, so it's going to be like a nice mix of like working hard and working out hard.

You're mixing work, work with pleasure.

Yeah, this, like, last year I was like on a full self-care unplug, but now it's like self-care looks like hard work this week.

I could,

yes, like this week is going to be filled with like difficult conversations, difficult tasks, but I think that at the end of the week, I'm going to feel so accomplished.

And that is a good feeling, especially like so much of my anxiety is like, oh, you're not doing anything, you lazy piece of shit, get the fuck up, like go for a walk, go do your work, answer your emails.

And so I just, I feel like tackling this week, like head fucking on, not to sound like one of those podcasters podcasters who talks about like, you know, Monday motivation, but like, let's fucking, let's fucking do it.

No, like, you know what?

What's wrong with a little Monday motivation?

No, this is the Monday motivation you need.

Like get your ass up and go fucking do your dishes and then answer those emails and then organize your makeup drawer and just fucking do what you have to do.

Rise and grind, baby.

Rise and grind.

Oh yeah, rub some dirt in it.

Rise and grind.

And then, and then you can take a bath and pour a glass of usual wines and use your hair food and then shop a little bit and use honey it'll feel so good because like you deserve it like like taking like you know drinking a glass of wine in a bathtub is great but it feels so much better when like you fucking are exhausted because you haven't sat on your couch all day like you have been fucking you know grinding and rising rising and grinding

I completely agree.

I'm so glad we all have like our marching orders for the week.

It's going to be a great day, everyone.

If you want to feel well and feel excited, check out my vlog on Patreon.

Get into a great headspace.

Sometimes, and today, today, self-care looks like hard work.

Don't you forget it.

You know what?

Write that down somewhere.

Put it on your fridge.

Put it on your mirror.

Self-care looks like hard work.

That's

a Robin.

That's a Robin Ars on original.

So if you also have a Peloton, grab it.

That's Robin NYC.

Robin NYC.

Yeah, that's hers.

Totally thought you made that up.

No, I told you like the first time I said it, I said, I heard something on Peloton that really resonated with me.

And now we've just been saying it a a lot, but I just want you to know that's Robin NYC.

So if you have a ton, get on that thing.
