Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the Morning Toast.

Happy Friday.

Hey, Claude, I just watched your Instagram story, so I know the answer to this question.

But how are you doing?

Jackie, I appreciate the question.

I really do.

You've always been so supportive, but

I'm so unwell.

You guys, I legit got home one minute ago.

Like, I just got home.

And the next thing I know, my alarm is going off.

I've gotten home like super late in my life but I've never gotten home and to the to the point where the the newspaper is still sitting outside your building and they haven't picked it up yet like that's how late I got home then there was a huge bundle of newspapers and I wanted to be helpful so like I brought it in and I was literally home with the newspaper what time did they deliver the paper you think

Really early, like five or six.

Yeah, that's when I got home.

And like for no good reason at all.

Like Claudia, what did you do?

Nothing.

Like, I just slowly.

So, I do want to know what you did, but I think it's also because, like, knowing that you were doing at-home recording, like, you could stay up till the break of dawn.

It gave me this, like, this freedom.

Joie de Vive.

Joie de Viv.

Yes.

It gave me a joie de viv.

You're right.

Like, that's why I was able to let go.

Yeah, just let go and let God.

And I'm glad that you had a great night.

Tell us about it so we can live vicariously through you.

Some of us are on like day five of, you know, isolating quarantine and have had very polar opposite evenings.

No, I mean, it's really the thing about my evening was that it's so achievable.

You know, there was really nothing, I didn't like do anything fabulous.

I sat in someone's apartment.

We're living in COVID, I was with three of my friends, but you know, we haven't seen each other in a while.

We were catching up, listening to show tunes, drinking.

And next thing I know, I look at my phone, it says four.

I'm like, what?

But also, do you want to die?

So, Ben was home and I was having a hard time.

I was at my friend's apartment.

They have a Sonos.

I'm trying to connect my stupid fucking phone to the Sonos.

And my Spotify is like being all weird, and it ends up not working, whatever.

Ben sends me a text message, and he's like, What the fuck did you just do?

Literally, I was dead asleep, and the Spotify in my bedroom went on because I was like futzing with the Spotify.

And he was like, It scared the shit out of me.

Like, I was fast asleep.

Spotify comes blasting out of the TV.

He was so mad at me.

Understandably, like, I was wrong.

and it was, I was like, that's like the level of fucked up I was.

Like, I had no idea what was going on around me.

Well, that's like really crazy, and that would really piss me off, too.

But yeah, also, Sonos, like, let's just take a moment and brag on Sonos because Sonos is like the only game in town, apparently, just to play music from your phone to a speaker.

Really shouldn't be that hard.

Like, we're living in the future.

Um, and it's garbage.

No, you literally woke up this morning and you could speak any language, anyone, and you decide to speak facts.

yeah did you lie no no the fact that sonos is like the only game in town and people are gonna message and be like no but there's both no like my house has a great so everyone thinks their house is sonos is like the best everywhere you go like it's if you want to play music from your phone like it's sonos and it sucks

Sucks.

I've never met a Sonos that didn't have some problem.

Like whether it's a connectivity issue, it's all these fucking issues.

You're so right.

You literally have to be Elon Musk Musk to set it up.

I remember that.

So I am in, like,

I am in rare form today.

And, well, it's not that rare because it happens all the time, but I'm in rare form.

And, like,

I'm...

The second this podcast is over, like, I'm a dead woman, like, dead.

But I got up for that.

Like, I should be asleep right now.

This is a crime against humanity.

Yeah, no, it is so crazy that you got up.

I mean, we had to do a show today, so you you really didn't have a choice.

I don't know what I actually know, I would have been fine if you just never called me back.

Well, I was thinking, I'm like, what if I just didn't, you know, show up

at a certain point?

I would just have,

like, I really wouldn't have tried that art.

Wait, you guys want to hear something stunning?

Hmm.

Well, you might not hear it, but the people on my mic will.

Okay.

Oh,

and that's stunning.

You do that every morning.

It's a La Croix studio.

Lemon?

Yeah, but I never do it on the show.

No, I know, but I've heard the sound and I find it irritating.

Lemon.

Wow.

Okay.

You find it irritating?

Yeah.

So, like, I don't know.

I'm just, like, not ASMR at all.

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed that.

The sounds of LaCroix.

Lemon naturally essence sparkling water.

Beautiful.

You should chug that.

Okay, give me one second.

Talk.

Oh, God.

And then you're going to have so so many burps.

Great.

Well, we have a good enough show for you today.

You're right.

I have to stop.

They're already coming.

Oh, my God.

Oh, God.

Don't you dare.

I didn't.

I burped away from the mic.

I burped away from the mic.

Right before we started recording, I was like, three, two, bitch burps.

Wait, also,

I'm sitting at my dining room table, which, you know, in the past year has become like everyone's office.

And I guess Ben was working here last night and he has like a little piece of paper with notes from his meeting.

Yeah, it has little notes from his meeting and it says,

he's so cute.

Like, I love him.

Presentation notes.

Communicate passion.

Those are four words that literally aren't English.

Like,

wait, like, I seriously, maybe I'm just drunk still, but like, that don't make sense.

Like.

Okay, no, no, no.

So he, he either took notes for from a presentation or for a presentation.

And then I guess like the highlight and the only thing that he needed to note was that he needs to communicate passion.

The thing, by the way, and we have a lot of passions and we are very

encouraging for people to follow their passions.

And I feel like maybe Ben has been listening to the toast.

I agree.

Or maybe you could show him how to communicate his passion or he could just listen to an episode of The Redheads.

I agree.

Because that's all about communicating your passions.

And speaking of which, we have a new episode dropping next

in a week on Thursday.

What's the book?

The Four Winds by Kristen Hanna.

It is like the book of the moment, historical fiction, depression era.

And

Kristen Hanna is just like the author of the moment.

So everyone, check it out.

I think it's going to be a really great read.

I was just really feeling like her name was Christine Hanna.

I don't know why.

Yeah.

I mean, it could have been.

Just

one E missing.

You're so right.

It could have been.

Anything could happen.

Thank God there was no television on last night, so we don't have a TV recap, but we are going to recap our toast movie of the week, which was Coming to America, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Yeah, me too.

I really enjoyed it.

So yesterday I was watching Victoria still, and then I switched to Coming to America, and then I went back to Victoria.

So it was like a very royal day for me.

And there were so many similarities, honestly, between the two.

Like, I'm not even shitting you.

By the way, I read somewhere, and by read somewhere, I mean, I saw it in the Facebook group,

that the stars, Victoria and the man, are actually dating in real life.

Do you know that?

I know.

And even more interesting than that is that the star, whose name is Jenna Coleman, was like once linked to Prince Harry.

And Prince Harry was like very sweet on her, but she chose the castmate who plays Prince Albert instead of him.

And her last long-term boyfriend was Richard Madden from Game of Thrones.

So this is a woman.

She is hot.

He's a hot hot.

She's a woman of taste.

Oh, we live for, she's also a woman with choices.

Like, no, with choices, like, she could have, like, she could be with anyone, it seems.

And I like, I like her choice.

Also, it would be crazy if, like, she played a queen on a TV show and then became like a princess if she stayed with Harry.

But I also feel like maybe

imitating life.

I know, but I also feel like maybe playing Victoria, like, made her realize how treacherous it is to be a royal.

Oh, that's possible.

You know?

By the way, is it a story or did you see Prince Harry

doing like a James Corden bullshit?

Yep, don't worry.

I have that for you.

Okay, because I have things to say.

I knew that you would, and I figured today would be the day that we would want to hear about it.

I'm embarrassed for him.

I know, but I'm also like

happy for him because I feel like this, like things like this.

That's what he wanted.

Things like this are why they mexited.

Yeah, no, you're totally right.

And it's worth mentioning, I didn't even watch the video, but.

Of course, not me neither.

I only needed to see the thumbnail.

I saw still images.

Yes.

Same.

Okay, well, you know what?

I'm going to bump that up to story number one, and we're going to get into the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

Okay, honestly, I don't feel like I am in any sort of shape to be reading these sponsors.

Like, seriously, I think you need to go into your email and read them.

Could you mind?

Oh, shit.

Okay.

Yeah.

Wow.

Like, I really, I wanted to do it.

Like, I have them pulled up.

But yeah, no, I know that you

know that you want to do it.

They're just blurring in front of me.

And we owe Curtsy more than that.

We really do.

Oh, we really do.

So today's episode is brought to you by Curtsy.

I love Curtsy because when you're shopping and you're a real woman like Claudia and I, it's easy to do.

We are real women.

Like we're so real.

Yeah, no, Curtsy is the coolest pieces.

And I've been going on there so much to find like cool pieces for spring.

After sitting in the same sweatpants all year, we've decided to freshen up our wardrobes and have been shopping and selling on Curtsy.

We love it because they have sickening pieces at thrift store prices delivered to you.

So I actually was on Curtsy and I was like, you know, me looking for like a designer fan.

A new investment, of course.

I was just on the stock market.

Of course.

And they had such cool items.

You guys have to check out Curtsy.

I think you would absolutely love it.

And as much as I love investing, I also love selling my investments and curtsy is a wonderful place for that too so curtsy is just the perfect marketplace for fashionistas like us the app has all of our favorite brands like urban outfitters princess poly poly free people levi's like all of these different brands at great prices up to 70 off selling clothes can be such a pain in the arse which is my which is why my closet is always overflowing yeah but curtsy has actually made the selling process so easy literally anyone can do it and sometimes it's hard to know how to price your items but curtsy suggests a price, which is so helpful.

If you don't have a printer, they'll mail you a shipping label for free, which I also love because I never know how to use my printer.

And the coolest part is when you get...

is when you get to instantly cash out to your debit card.

So Claude and I have shopped on Curtsy.

We absolutely love it.

We highly recommend it.

It is like, especially as we're really getting into like spring cleaning right now.

Well, you know what?

Curtsy is a perfect segue into our sad royal news of the day.

Before the SRN, I have to tell you something.

Oh, what?

Jackie, I have a confession.

Oh, goodness gracious.

Whatever could it be?

I don't think I'm a fashionista.

I know.

I know what you are.

I'm a Maxinista.

I see right through you.

I'm a Maxinista, and I'm proud.

You are a Maxinista.

And honestly, but Curtsy also caters towards Maxinistas.

And that's good about it.

That's good because I just wanted to make sure I was being seen as a Maxinista.

Yeah, no, I'm sorry that I put you in the Fashionista category.

When I'm so clearly a Maxinista.

yeah no it's true it's true i feel like

you know i hope at least tj max won some sort of award for that campaign because it was brilliant you know like that ad campaign lives in your mind rent free and by the way i don't think i'm unique in that i think people

I think people our age use the word Maxinista like more than you would think.

Like I think it's a part of their everyday vernacular.

Yeah, no, I agree.

I definitely could see that.

But you're not a Maxinista.

No, unfortunately, not.

You're a fashionista for sure.

Thank you.

Or as Kyron Westcott would say, a fashionista.

Do you ever notice how she says fashionista?

She does say things weirdly.

Yeah, well, she has an accent.

Does she?

But I think it's...

Yeah, she's Texan.

I guess.

But also, like, Montecedent.

Yeah, she's from California.

Okay, speaking of Montecedins and curtsy, Prince Harry vows he will never walk away from the royal family despite stepping back from the role.

Prince Harry is speaking out about his decision to leave his royal life in Britain behind.

A candid Harry laid bare some of the reasons he and wife Megan Markle made the move to California during an appearance on the late-late show with James Corden on Thursday night.

Airing just days after it was announced that the couple would not officially return as working royals, the prince made it clear that he will never walk away from his family or waver in his dedication to helping others.

Quote, it was never walking away, it was stepping back rather than stepping down.

It was really a difficult environment, as I think a lot of people saw.

We all know what the British press can be like.

It was destroying my mental health.

This is so this is toxic.

So I did what any husband and what any father would do, which is I need to get my family out of here, but we never walked away.

Okay, like, I don't really care

about like the the Megsit stuff.

Like I'm full, I'm with you.

Yeah, like I'm with the same thing over again.

Yeah, you got me.

I know it's toxic.

I'm here for you.

I support your decision.

I just like can't get past like Prince Harry being on James Corden.

And don't get me wrong, like I'm a big James Corden fan, but something about this is so losery and like tacky.

I can't explain it.

I don't know why it's bothering me.

Yeah, no, I mean,

it's

But this is what they wanted.

Like, this is just like celeb stuff to do.

To like be on a double-decker and space, time your wife.

Like, it's very, you know, Kelly Rippa.

Yes, yes, yes.

And, you know, like, if I were a royal, like, I think I would want to stay, I would want to be a royal, but some people just want to be like Kelly Rippa.

And, and.

No, and I, I understand it.

I can't stress enough, you know, I'm on their side to the best for your family, for your mental health.

But something, uh, something about their rollout so far has been really

elegant.

You know, they're only doing, you know, Spotify partnership, Netflix, like they're so premium.

And I don't mean this in any bad way.

Like I love James Corden, but something about like hearing about the royal news on a YouTube video from James Corden, like that's where I watch like Carpole Karaoke.

It's just like,

it's too much.

Yeah, no, I agree with that.

And also, I feel like if their first press engagement was this Oprah interview coming out in March, like that would whatever they say there, I'm sure like they'll kind of segue into opening the door for like more of them being celebrities.

And then it would feel

just like a natural progression of things.

But for the first time we're seeing him to be on James Corden and like not Oprah and not in like a very serious capacity.

I think it's weird.

I think they kind of they should have like just flipped that order of things because I think once Oprah happens, like they are going to tell their story and I think a lot of people are going to understand where they're coming from and, you know, make peace with the fact that they are just celebrities now.

And then we're going to start seeing them everywhere.

Yeah.

And by the way, I think that we haven't seen them in that way yet because we're still in a pandemic.

And I think if we weren't, if we weren't, like, they would just be regular A-list celebrities hanging out with, you know, Beyonce and the Obamas.

Like.

Yes, no, I think if we weren't in a pandemic, they would have already been at the Met Gala.

They would have been at the Oscars.

Like they would have been everywhere.

Like we would be one year into the rollout, but we're still at like day zero, sort of.

Yeah.

So I agree.

Like, I think when I heard they were doing an interview, it was with Oprah, like it tracked for everything they've been doing, which is like super refined, not a lot of press, very elegant, you know, choosing specifically, being very strategic about, and

I'm surprised that he spoke out before that interview because it just felt weird.

Yeah, I agree.

I, something went, something went wrong there.

Someone's getting fired.

Yeah.

But other than that, once again, like, happy.

They're doing what's best for their family.

Of course.

And their growing family at that.

Yes, of course, of course.

People think, you know, Megan Markle was like sending a message.

She's having a girl because she wore a pink ring.

Like, where do these people have the time?

She also wore a blue dress.

I can't.

I can't.

I can't.

No, I truly can't.

No, you can't?

I can't.

Okay, next story.

A little more celeb behind the scenes.

Billie Eilish has a new documentary where she reveals a secret boyfriend and past self-harm.

Oh, she's forgetting a boyfriend.

Yes, she has a boyfriend.

That's so she has a new documentary on Apple TV Plus called Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry.

She talks about being obsessed with Justin Bieber and crying into her pillow because she was like so obsessed with him.

She also talks about meeting him at Coachella.

She talks about her connection with her fans and other big things in her life.

So I think that will be actually very interesting.

yeah I don't have Apple TV

and I don't see myself getting the so how are you gonna watch WandaVision that's on Disney plus

oh

but yeah no I mean I probably like I won't watch this because like I don't have the the streaming platform and I'm not gonna get the streaming platform just to stream this documentary but love Billy live your life girl make your coin but I um unfortunately will not be participating

Yeah, I feel that as well.

Like, but I think that for those who do watch, and like for her fans, like, I think it will probably wind up being an amazing documentary.

She's extremely fascinating.

I just, my plate runneth over, and now I am, like, so in a historical era.

Like, I think it'll be months before I come out of it.

Oh, you are never watching Billie Eilish.

No.

And now it's like, I'm watching these shows, and I'm like, wait, but now I want to read a book about Queen Victoria.

Right.

And there's so many other monarchs.

Like,

I could be here for a very long time.

So I think that's wonderful.

We have nothing but time.

We have nothing but time.

Also, in the documentary, she reveals a relationship with Brandon Q.

Adams, which ended in 2019.

So I guess now she's single.

But at one point, she's singing.

Wait, so she is dating Brandon Quincy Adams?

Yes, she is.

Cute.

Cute.

Oh, she froze.

Can you see me?

Now I can see you.

Now, this might be a hot take.

You know what?

I'm not in the mood to start fights with people.

Like, I'm already getting so much shit for my hot takes on adults who go to Disney.

And I'm just like, oh my God,

I saw

what's going on.

They came for me.

What did they say to you?

A lot of them, like, really, they said, go fuck yourself.

Respectable.

You know, honestly, it wasn't anything too bad.

Nothing I couldn't handle, but they just, they didn't like what I had to say.

And, you know, we live in a world where,

well, sorry, we live in a country where you can really say whatever you want.

And I feel like I'm really like pushing the limit on that

freedom.

And it might soon be taken away from me.

Yeah, I feel like they're just scratching the surface.

Oh, of course.

And I stand by what I said about adults who go to Disney.

It's fucking weird.

Okay, well, our next story is some really, really exciting news.

Is it the really, really exciting news that's brought to you by Bruce?

Oh, yes.

But you know what?

You don't have to worry about the segues today.

And also, because like I'm doing the stories, I could just like do well.

I didn't want you to forget.

No, I wasn't.

I was actually just like going to, I was working on my segue.

Exciting news for me.

Exciting news.

Actually, my segue was going to be short.

No, that's fine.

I'll just sit here quietly.

Okay, well, you know what?

It is a very exciting story brought to you by a very exciting brand, Bruch.

Bruch, as you guys know, is our one true tooth Bruch.

He absolutely

Okay, are you ready for our next story?

I don't know if I am, honestly.

If I'm being honest, which I like to be honest with our audience.

I don't know.

I think you're about to be because we're going from Brush to Bruno Mars.

Announcing a new single and an album on the way.

You guys, this is so exciting.

Like, you know how much I love Bruno Mars.

I named my fucking dog after him.

And now he is back.

After an almost two-year hiatus, the 35-year-old singer announced that he is releasing a new song and album.

On his Instagram on Thursday, he shared that he teamed up with Anderson Pack for a new band called Silk Sonic.

He said, we locked in and made an album.

The band's called Silk Sonic.

First song drops next Friday, March 5th, with special guest host, Bootsy Collins.

It sounds amazing.

How Bruno Mars is like really always wanting to be a part of an ensemble.

Yeah, I mean, he's just like a man who respects like other talented musicians, and we absolutely love to see that.

Yeah, I mean, Bruno Mars could literally release a track that's like a sound, like a recording of his farts, and I would think it was brilliant.

Like, whatever he was doing.

It would be brilliant.

It would be brilliant.

It's not just like us blindly standing.

Like, it would be redefining music.

I feel like if we were to look at this, you know, these last 10, 15 years at a glance, I think Bruno Mars is probably the most influential, talented music artist of our generation.

Like, I think he's up there with like the Adele's and the Beyoncés.

Yeah, no, but I also think in so many ways, like, Bruno Mars, you could not find one person who does not like like Bruno Mars's music.

Not one.

Right.

Of different generations.

Of everyone walking the earth.

I really don't.

I really think so.

I'm sure someone's going to comment.

Well, I don't.

I met Bruno Mars once and he was really red.

Yeah, no, his music is so amazing.

I'm so happy that he's coming back.

That's exactly what we need right now to carry us into like the final phase of quarantine and to get us excited for a summer to remember.

Oh, yeah.

Like if I'm not out at a club this summer banging my head against a wall to the beat of Bruno Mars and his new band, then I don't want it.

No, I don't want it.

Send it back.

Send it back.

Return to sender.

And as much as I'm so excited about this new music, let me tell you who's more excited.

Bruno Sweets.

He is.

I haven't seen that one.

He's been walking around the apartment like, hey, mom, pop, pop, it's showtime.

Showtime.

Showtime.

I'm like, Bruce, you're so sweet.

Oh, my God.

Bruno Sweets is so sweet.

She's so sweet.

I've seen it.

No, I know.

He misses you so much.

He misses everyone.

Like, he always is like grabbing my phone and calling Knowles.

And I'm like, listen, she's not going to pick up.

Like, she doesn't want to talk to you.

Yeah, no, she's like kind of a bitch.

No, it's, it's, like, so hurtful.

We just like sit in bed, like, getting our calls declined from snitching Knowles.

Okay, well, like, I'm literally having like so many problems over here.

Oh, because you want to keep it moving?

No, I just want to talk about my problems.

Like, I can't stop burping.

And by the way, this happened last time we were on the toast toast and I was hungover.

Like, my nose when I'm hungover gets so, like, I get a cold.

I sound nasally as fuck right now.

Yeah.

Hmm.

But those are just some of my problems, not to, you know, make it about me.

Yeah, no.

I mean, I guess some of my problems right now are like, I get really sweaty when we do the podcast from home.

Because we have to turn our air conditioning off because the sound fucks up.

I don't even turn my air conditioning on because my apartment is just like naturally cold.

If anything, I turn my heat on, but I always start with like a sweater.

I take the sweater off and I'm like still sweating.

So that's what's new with me.

Where do you get sweaty?

I get sweat behind my knees when we podcast, always.

Oh, no, it's my arm.

It's the armpits for me.

That's so vintage.

Yeah, it's like so typical.

Okay, this next story.

That's what I meant.

Not vintage.

Like basic.

Yeah.

It's like OG.

Typical.

That was the perfect word.

That was exactly what I was thinking.

Great.

Great.

Should I head to thesaurus.com for more?

Sure.

I've got a lot of things.

Are you ready for our next story?

I'm curious to get your thoughts on it.

Yes.

Twitter has launched Super Follow.

Did you hear about this?

Yeah.

Like, Twitter seriously.

Which is

OnlyFans.

Borrowing OnlyFans' strategy to charge for tweets.

Twitter is preparing to launch paid tweets with a new Super Follow system, which will work a little like Patreon or OnlyFans.

Announced during the company's investor presentation, Super Follow will offer a new way for those with followings on Twitter to monetize that audience with everything from exclusive content to special badging.

Yeah, here's the thing, and this might be a hot take.

If you have like a lot of followers on Twitter, I just feel like

I just feel like you're the worst.

You're the worst.

The more followers you have on Twitter, the worse you are.

And the more scared I am of you.

It's like, how many people's necks did you fucking step on to get those followers?

Like, I just think it's crazy.

And I think Twitter is the most evil platform.

And can you imagine paying, like, I don't even want to see your tweets for free.

Let alone

need a look at that.

Yeah, you could.

Right.

Exactly.

So anyone who thinks, any creator, whether, whatever space you're in, if you think this is something you might be interested in, just know I hate you.

Yeah, no, like, here's the thing.

I don't think anyone who's like looking to monetize their audience is going to like now move to Twitter and like try and build it there.

But I do think people with existing big audiences on Twitter will try and do this.

I don't know how successful it's going to be, but I don't think like, you know, the people of OnlyFans or Patreon, like, I have no plans in moving our business over.

No, no, no one's going to move their business.

So the people who would do this are people on Twitter with big followings.

And either that's celebrities.

Celebrities are not going to charge people for content.

They make way more money doing other things.

And it's, it's honestly like a losery thing to do.

So celebrities aren't doing it.

But the people on social on Twitter with big platforms are like reporters.

No one wants to fucking pay.

There's a million free news sources.

Who the fuck would pay to see someone's some special reporters' special tweets?

Like, who cares?

No, or if they're really like even that interested, they'll subscribe to the newspaper.

Like, of course.

No, like Twitter has become this, this stagnant platform that really will never evolve, but will also never go away.

It's like a weird part of the social media ecosystem that has literally no future, but it will be here in the future.

It's like a necessary, it just existed in this weird way.

And it's become the worst fucking platform of all time.

And honestly, I hope it fails.

Yeah, no, so do I.

I think if they had launched this a few years ago, which they wouldn't have because they stole the idea from like OnlyFans, but if they had launched it like before all these other platforms, if they thought it themselves, then it might have been successful.

But, you know, it's like reels.

You know, and they're also now doing

Twitter Voices, which is a ripoff of Clubhouse.

Oh.

By the way, do you find that like your phone gets so dead?

And it's not even like yesterday, we didn't even chat on Clubhouse.

So it's just like Clubhouse running.

The notification.

Notifications are insane.

Okay, the notifications, I need to like unfollow most people because like unless it's you launch in a chat room, like I genuinely don't care.

I don't know.

There's a few people who like, when they join, I do want to hear what they have to say, like that they're like really smart people.

Yeah, but for the most part, it's like all these fucking like random ass people I followed when I first signed up.

And now it's like every time they're in a room, my phone is like lighting the fuck up.

It's so, like, it's draining my battery and my mental like strength.

Yeah, but I also just think even if you turned off notifications, like.

Well, first of all, you should be able to just have notifications on for like some people that you follow.

That way you don't only follow four people.

But even if you turn off notifications, I think the app just like being on your phone uses so much battery.

And that's just like something they're going to have to work on.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how I feel like I said something like really, really smart?

And I'm like, so like, I'm so brain dead right now.

But I feel like my point about Twitter like being stagnant, but like never evolving, but always existing.

I feel like I'm literally a professor.

Yeah, no, you're, you're completely on point.

Like Twitter won't go anywhere because it's like the place for like breaking news and sports.

But it also is not going to become anything more than that, like anytime soon and but also it is a big it's a part of like the big of like big tech it's like Facebook Google it's one of the big companies but it's literally like the biggest loser out of all of them yeah

I agree

so

if you plan on monetizing your tweets good luck no seriously like godspeed

but you're also a loser no but also like why not only fans or patreon i think those are two amazing platforms right and like expand girlfriend like go fly

Yeah.

Okay, this next fifth and final story, I just like didn't really like know what to pick.

And so I thought this was an interesting.

At least you're honest.

It's a little ad news.

Oh, God.

The first commercial showing lactating breasts will air during the Golden Globes.

This advertisement is a small step for one brand and a big step for women everywhere.

Parenthood brand Freedom Mom is set to air what is believed the first commercial ever to show lactating breasts on television.

It will run during the 2021 Golden Globe Awards on NBC this Sunday.

Oh, wait, also just want to talk about the fact that the Golden Globes are on Sunday and we need to decide, like, are we watching them?

Okay, honestly, the fact that there is a commercial with breasts during the Golden Globes is like great.

It's great synergy.

Yeah, I hope that the commercial like references that, but I don't know.

Right, like her taking out her Golden Globes.

Yeah, be like, you're watching the Golden Globes here.

By the way,

I don't know if you remember this, but like back in the day, like my first

brush with controversy.

Do you remember?

You know what I'm talking about?

I do.

Like, I think we all know, like, I used to have like a really problematic Twitter.

And like, when I was like 16, I tweeted something that, like, I was in the doctor's office, and there was a woman breastfeeding.

And, like, you know, me, I'm like 16.

I'm like, boobies.

Like, I couldn't believe it.

And I wrote this tweet that was like, like, breastfeeding in public should be a crime

and it it got like put in some like reddit mom like thread or like it got picked up by like the breastfeeding association of america and they fucking roasted the shit out of me do you think i knew what i was talking about i was 16 talking about breastfeeding like it was so fucking random

and now like when i see um

you know like the movement furthering because really breastfeeding is a natural beautiful thing like you should be able to do wherever the fuck you want when i see the movement being furthered i get like a little bit of a pit because i was part of the problem

so i'm happy that i didn't stop them

i'm happy for you too i'm assuming your opinions have drastically changed look i saw olivia do it i couldn't it's a miracle it's beautiful right and every time your child go for it my opinion was obviously with olivia every time we're with olivia and she like needs to breastfeed and she's like you know, feeling like a little

bit of a room.

We're like, whip it out.

Of course.

Whip it out.

Whip it out.

I'm going to be one of those moms too.

Like you will not be able to stop looking at my titty.

Like I will, I'm going to titty feed on the toast.

Like legit.

Yeah, no, there's, there's so much that like goes into the complexities of breastfeeding that if we also like shame women for it, like they just don't need one more thing to worry about when it comes to breastfeeding.

I was 100% part of the problem.

And

obviously, just like growing up, like becoming older, I realized like how wrong I was, but then also really seeing Olivia, like it's so gorgeously miraculous.

And like when she would like want to go to another room, I'm like, no, stay.

Like it really should be like you should be able to be to be at a blackjack table, you know, feeding your kid.

Like that's what it should be that natural.

So I'm all for the movement.

I just thought it was an interesting anecdote to remember my roots.

Yes, definitely.

Well, if you are watching the Golden Globes, which we still need to decide if you are,

you'll see this commercial, which it's a very big deal.

Are they going to have a red carpet?

Are they all going to be like wearing masks, walking on the carpet?

I don't know.

It might be too depressing to watch.

Because masks really don't go with, you know, kachia.

Yeah.

And we went through the nominees a few while ago.

I just, like, I personally don't care.

It's hosted by Amy Poehler and

Santa Fe.

That makes me happy.

Which I'm sure will be good.

I just, like,

I don't know.

This whole year, like, I've really,

I mean, it's hard because this is like our whole show is just like talking about celebrities, but also mostly ourselves.

Yeah.

I just, I can't with celebrities.

No, and there is something about like these enormously like famous and wealthy people like getting into a room to congratulate one another, which is always like very out of touch.

But after the year that America has been through, it's more out of touch than ever.

Yeah.

No, I was actually thinking about that because I was like, I think I was doing a Peloton ride and it was Robin.

She was like, this year has made everyday, like heroes out of everyday people.

And I was, and like, of course, like our frontline workers, our nurses, like, like, there should be an award show for like best nurse of the year, but also like the other people who were essential workers, who were essential in keeping us all like fed.

Truck drivers.

Truck drivers, delivery men and women who deliver your postmates and allow you to stay at home and like isolate for six months because you're not worried about who's going to bring you your food.

Like, I want to see an award show for the delivery men and women of the world.

You are so 100%

on the nose.

And that's why it's just like, oh, great.

All these celebrities like complimenting each other and giving each other awards.

Like, you guys didn't fucking do anything this year.

You deserve nothing.

Yeah, I'm just like, I'm good.

So I don't think that I'm going to watch me.

And then we'll just like, we'll watch the highlights.

It's the same night as Real House Was of Atlanta.

And that kind of takes Bolo takes precedent.

Bolo does take precedent.

Well, you know what else takes precedent?

Our movie recap, Toast Movie of the Week.

Oh, this is

It's our last one.

Our recap is brought to you by Snow.

Not with Snow.

I also get complimented on my body like all the time.

Yeah, as you should.

Body yaddy yaddy.

Okay, ready for our movie recap.

Toast movie of the week.

We watched Coming to America, a movie that neither of us had seen, correct?

Yep.

And you know what?

I had a million thoughts about the movie, but my first was like, damn, I thought Garcelle was the star.

She didn't even say one word.

I know.

I thought the same thing too.

And then just because the way that, like, on Housewives, they talked about it, like, oh, she's.

And so I thought she was going to be the love interest or at least like a royal

yeah no I thought the same thing and then I realized like close towards the end um her role was pretty small but still like a treat just to see her she was so the cast was the cast was so star studded that it was but the cast was also very small because as I found out in the credits Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall played like a million different characters between the two of them

Yes, I didn't realize that when I was watching it.

So

on Amazon Prime, which I actually really like, if you pause, like I went to get a snack or something,

it actually gives you like a little bubble of who's in this specific scene.

So as I'm about to press play, it said Eddie Murphy twice when they were in the barbershop.

And it said Clarence Eddie Murphy

Akeem Eddie Murphy.

And I'm like, Clarence?

And I realized that's the guy who's always talking about like how he met Martin Luther King and he met

Muhammad Ali.

So I'm like, that was Eddie Murphy.

I'm like, oh, damn.

And then I realized that Eddie Murphy was playing other characters.

I didn't know till the credits that Arsenio Hall was that singer at the

pageant.

Me neither.

I had no idea.

And I did, I could not, my jaw literally hit the floor when they showed that old Jewish man from the barbershop and it said

Eddie Murphy.

Like I was shocked because I was thinking, I'm like, I'm going to come on the toast and say, I don't think I've ever seen such an accurate representation of like an old man from Queens, an old Jewish man from Queens.

Like I thought it was so on the nose.

And I'm like, this guy is a great actor.

Like I wonder if he's actually Jewish.

It turns out it's Eddie Murphy.

Like I had no idea.

Yeah, no, they did such a good job.

I think there were so many elements of the movie that were so well done.

And one of my favorite parts was like, I really feel like it captured the essence of like New York.

At the time.

At the time, yes.

And also like New York, you know, like as we know, New York, not New York of February 2021.

Right.

It was just so good.

When he walked home from his date and he was singing and there were all those people yelling out their windows for him to shut the fuck up.

Like, that's me.

I'm like, and that's you.

Wait, are you like, are you the person singing?

Are you the person yelling?

I'm the person yelling.

Like, when there's construction in the apartment next door and you start like screaming at the top of your lungs, but then you also know they can't hear you.

Yeah.

Been there.

Like, I just felt like everything about it was so on point.

And that scene where, like, everybody's yelling at him, like, I literally was cracking up.

I was like, that would be me.

I was cracking up because I know the movie, He Comes to America, obviously, and I assumed it was New York, but when they're deciding where to go and they choose queens because he's looking for

a kid, it was so funny.

It was just like really like smart, funny humor.

And, but it was also like a beautiful love story.

Like when they started dancing on that date, I was like going to cry.

I'm like, this is so sweet.

No, so sweet.

I loved the character of Akeem.

Like, he was such.

a great man.

Everything he said was like a pearl of wisdom.

No, 100%.

And you would think like most of the movies that we we watch about like royalty and then like this, the sun comes up and you know, usually it's like he's spoiled and he would just want a woman who's going to do whatever he wants.

But like he was so wise and I just like even the scene when the

McDowells, which by the way was so funny.

So funny.

McDowell's got, there was a shooter in there and like he just was so valiant and brave.

The shooter was a very young Samuel L.

Jackson.

I know.

I almost didn't recognize him.

I know.

I actually did recognize recognize him and I saw his name in the opening credits.

So I was like waiting for him and I was like, here's his moment.

Me too.

I saw his name in the opening credits and I'm like, where is he?

Yeah.

So it was

a joy to watch.

A joy to watch.

And the sequel is coming out imminently.

So we're like so ready to watch it.

Oh, actually, I just saw a story.

I don't know what the movie's about.

I have a feeling it's like him and

his wife have a son.

That's what I feel like it is.

And then the son goes to America.

Oh, you think so?

Yeah, because

the news story was that they nixed Michael Jordan.

He was supposed to be, Michael B.

Jordan was supposed to be in it, and he ended up just, it just didn't work out.

And that would have made sense, like Michael B.

Jordan as Eddie Murphy's son.

Yes, but I saw that story too.

And, but I feel like they nixed like just the whole story idea of doing the same movie.

Like, again, like, we're at the sun.

And yeah.

You know?

No, for me, what I, what I got out of the movie was like, I always knew how talented Eddie Murphy was in terms of comedy.

But I feel like this movie and probably why it was like his biggest movie and launched him to like a whole other stratosphere's fame is because it highlighted his talents beyond comedy, like acting, impressions.

Like he just, he's saying like he was so

good as an actor, as a comedian.

Like he was just,

the movie.

Just highlighted like his best talents and I thought it was like and I had so much more respect for Eddie Murphy after the movie beyond just being a comedian because it was really like what he did in that movie, playing a million different roles.

When he's in the barbershop as himself, he's talking to himself as Clarence.

He's talking to himself as the old Jewish man.

Like, it's just, it's a crazy level of talent.

Yeah, I agree.

I enjoyed it very much.

Me too.

So

I enjoyed

our whole journey on Trust Movie of the Week.

I do too.

I think we picked such fabulous movies.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching.

What was your favorite one of them?

Ooh, my favorite was

hmm.

Mine was The Butler.

The Butler.

The Butler.

Yeah.

What was your least favorite?

Oh.

What did we watch?

The Butler, Cinderella, Coming to America, and

I can't remember what the second week was.

Let me

on my phone.

What was it?

Wait, like my brain is farting.

Hold on.

We'll find out.

It obviously wasn't memorable.

No, obviously.

Hold on.

Wait, it's bothering me so much.

Like,

going to our brain.

I know people listening to the podcast are like screaming it into their phones.

Screaming.

What the hell did we watch?

Hold on.

Little.

Oh, actually, I really liked that.

Little, but it.

I really liked Little.

So actually,

I really liked it.

I'm going to say something crazy.

Like, I actually think my least favorite was Cinderella.

I know I'm going to say the same thing.

Which is crazy because I remembered it so differently than it actually was.

And, like, we had a great conversation about it, and it was like super funny.

But aside from seeing Whitney and Brandy together and just like seeing Whitney,

it was just like this incredible experience.

It was, I don't think it was as well done as it could have been.

Yeah, but that's also because it was a TV movie.

So it's like you're

like, it's the butler, which was like a motion picture, like sickening, stunning.

Studio budget.

Yeah, I just think we watched some really great movies.

And so the one that was made for TV was just like not the best one.

Yeah, but no, like The Butler is one of those movies that like changed my life and like changed how I saw the world.

And it was the like,

so I can't believe I had never seen it.

And that's on me.

And I'm like, so grateful to have seen that movie.

And even though like

his story wasn't like, it wasn't 100% accurate, like it was based off of someone, but it was highly fabricated.

I like, it was just such a stunning movie.

I loved it so much.

Like, I can't, if you watch, if you haven't been keeping up and there's one movie you want want to watch, watch The Butler.

It was incredible.

And it's on Netflix.

Yeah.

I totally, totally agree.

This has been like a wonderful month of content due to all these movies, but The Butler was definitely my favorite.

Yeah.

So, oh my God, Jackie, you know what we forgot to do?

Hmm.

Friday, Friday.

Friday.

Gotta get down on Friday.

Friday.

Well, I mean, our singing is garbage when we're remote.

So I think everyone was probably grateful for that and was probably glad they didn't hear it and then now just heard it and is upset.

I don't know.

I feel like it's the highlight of people's days.

I like to think it is.

Yeah,

I believe in sensible rules.

Oh, so fucking good.

So fucking good.

And by the way, when I say it was my least favorite, it was not bad by any means.

And the soundtrack was at fucking 10 out of 10.

I know.

And like, I don't think the soundtrack is on Spotify.

And that's something that

should be corrected.

Yeah.

Someone has to answer for that.

Yeah.

No, it's not right.

Remember that time we did a musical Monday soul Cycle and the instructor.

We played it from like a janky ass YouTube video.

Yes, and the quality was so bad, but we were still out on the bikes, like, impossible.

Yeah, and he, and he was literally on the bike, and he was like, He was literally saying what we're saying right now.

He's like, whoever didn't put this on on Spotify, I'm literally, he literally pulled it out from YouTube.

It was the most scratchy ass, like low-quality shit I've ever heard in my life, but we were living for it.

Yeah,

good time to see it.

Good times.

I know you're so excited to get back to Soul Cycle.

I'm so excited to get back in bed.
