S4 Ep1: New World, Who Dis?: Monday, January 4th, 2021

Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the Morning Toast.

Happy New Year, everyone.

First episode, season four of the Morning Toast.

Hope you're ready for it.

Hope you're ready for it.

Happy 2021.

The most shocking thing of all time is that this is season four of the toast.

Yes, I was making a little graphic for our Instagram last night and I'm like, season three.

And then it kind of sounded familiar.

Like I've already said season three, so I had to double check with you.

And much to my

surprise, it was season four.

Because it's not like a bad thing.

No, no, no.

It's so exciting.

I mean, four seasons of the toast.

I mean, we're really aging ourselves.

And despite all the popular demand, we are back with another season, bigger and better than ever.

Yes, I'm so excited for the new year, even though the new year starting like on a Thursday and then waiting to Monday to like officially start the new year because obviously you're not gonna start mentally again on a Friday.

No.

It's it's interesting.

It's interesting.

It's weird.

I definitely feel like we're in this like limbo type period.

And I think collectively, like the world has never had a Monday like so Monday, you know?

Because it's like everyone's back from vacation.

The first Monday of the year is really the Mondayest Monday of all time.

But the fact that the new year really started on a Friday and so we got like four extra days, like it's just so Monday.

Yeah, no, it's so Monday.

But we're all in this together.

And the toast is back to help you get through it all.

We had a wonderful, much needed, so appreciated break.

So much inner peace, so much, so little anxiety.

It was really great, great, you know, experience to have under our belts as we head into the new year.

Right.

I think it's a great tone to set, you know, bringing it, ushering in more inner peace.

And, you know, actually, over the course of our vacation and kind of like the world's vacation, so much really did happen that Jackie and I actually had to stop and record an episode for our Patreon just to kind of, you know, talk about the Bacherette finale, the Potomac finale.

Ilaria.

Sorry, Hillary.

So much that needed to be discussed.

And we didn't want to wait till a new year because some of it's old news.

A lot of news about Ariana Grande and John Mulaney.

So if you are looking for all of that, we've already covered it all, even though I will probably be talking about Hillary Hayward Thomas till the end of time because it's like the craziest thing ever.

But if you're really looking for a recap on all that stuff, head over to the Patreon, patreon.com/slash morning toast, because our fifth episode of the month was just like an update in pop culture.

Right.

And that has all the stories that you might have been hoping to hear today because today's stories are all a new year news stories.

In the words of our Yiddish ancestors, kumza fresh.

Kumza fresha.

Fresh slate.

Fresh cakes.

Fresh cakes.

All of our stories have happened in 2020 and 20, I'm sorry, 2021.

And it's already been a bustling year.

Like all of the stories are top stories.

Wow, and they're all occurring in 2021 is what you're saying?

Yes, 2021 is a mouthful.

Oh my God, I cannot say it.

I guess we're supposed to say 21.

Oh.

Like apostrophe 2-1.

That works for me.

I'm just not going to talk about it.

Yeah.

Because you know what?

We were saying like before the new year when we had so much hope, we were like, I just know, or at least I was putting like all my eggs in one basket.

Like when I wake up on January 1st, like new world, who diss.

And now as someone who's living in 21, I can let you know it's same world, same me, same garbage.

Yeah, but you know what?

It's kind of familiar and I like it.

Even though I'm someone who really does like change,

I'm really liking how 21 feels just like 2020.

Great.

You know?

Yeah, no, it's great.

It's great.

No, it's so good.

It's going, it's only going to get better.

And I do think it's because like of this weird in-between days that we've had.

And so like Monday, January, what's the date?

Fourth.

Fourth.

This is really the start of the new year.

I feel like I'm getting so many emails today.

That's when you know it's like a real productive day.

How many emails you get from like companies and, you know,

emails backup.

Marketing managers who are like, let's send out our new year promo.

No one's OOO anymore.

No one is OOO.

And you know what?

You know what I really feel like things are going to turn around for the world?

When?

January 26th, 2021.

which is completely agree you you do right

i actually think that my book obviously everyone knows girls no job the crazy beautiful life of an instagram thirst monster and if you've already been getting annoyed with my promo like i just suggest you maybe sit this month out because like i'm going to be so fucking annoying i already got i just um like maybe a week ago got the first official copies of my book so if you've been watching our podcast you're like claudia what are you talking about you have a copy of your book right next to you no i Went through the various books we have in our studio, which are all former Redheads book at books and just found one that my cover fit on.

Now I have my actual book and there is a insert in the middle middle with like 20 pictures that I wanted to include in the paper copy.

Jackie's holding it right now.

I literally forgot about this.

I'm going to the pictures I haven't seen.

So that's why I was really excited to get the physical copy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh my god,

damn.

This is an unseen pic.

No, I know.

I wanted to.

I referenced so many moments in the book that I wanted you to have visual aids for.

So there's 20 pictures in the middle of the book.

Oh my God, move-in day at NYU.

How funny is that?

I'm showing.

No, I went to the depths of my Facebook.

My friend Jason, who I was talking about like a month ago, because I had dinner dinner with him.

I told you he has pictures on his phone from 2012.

Yeah.

Like he really helped me curate these photos.

So I got the physical copies, which I'm so excited about.

And

in exchange, I'm offering a barter to all the people who have been pestered by my constant promotion.

I know that I'm really annoying, but like I'm a first-time author and like I'm just not going to stop.

But I did want to do something nice because the toasters have really been so nice about the book.

Like so supportive, getting excited, ordering on their Kindles, pre-ordering.

And I wanted to do

a little giveaway.

So for everyone who ordered the book, all you have to do is forward your proof of purchase to book at girlwithinojob.com and I'm going to pick five people to give like a huge merch bundle, like a big basket of merch to.

So all you have to do is forward your proof of purchase or your receipt to book at girlwithonojob.com.

And I'm going to choose five people to give big ass merch baskets to.

You're staring at the pictures in my book.

What are you looking at?

I'm looking at everything.

First of all, I just want to say you posted that, you put in the before and after.

Jackie, please don't spoil it.

I'm sorry.

Yes, I did.

Like that is a reason to buy the book.

I'm so brave.

Do you agree?

No, because you look great before and after.

No, I don't look great before.

But this is a ringing endorsement

of what year before and after ring.

I won't tell you guys.

Yes.

I'll leave that.

But there's a before and after in here that is shocking.

It's interesting.

Yeah.

So many fabulous photos.

I was just looking at the photo of the beacon, just looking for myself, obviously.

So yes, girlwithnojob.com/slash book is where you can pre-order all versions, Kindle, audiobook, and hardcover.

And I promise that's enough for the book promo today.

But speaking of books, there's something that we need to talk about.

You guys might have noticed that Claudia is officially, but not officially, because I don't want to confuse people because it's really confusing that we call the hosts of the podcast the Redheads and the listeners the Redheads.

Very confusing.

But Claudia is officially a Redhead.

As in a host, as in a listener.

As a reader.

Yes.

Jackie really got me into the Kindle.

I bought, I always say, like, I really always read on vacation.

I just can't get behind like reading in my bed.

It just seems so weird.

Like, why am I not watching TV?

You know?

Yeah.

And we were on vacation and I brought a big book that you recommended to The Luckiest Girl Alive, like 400 pages.

And I'm like, I'm going to read this the whole trip.

And within the first two days, I was done with it.

And I'm like, damn, I wish I had another book.

And that's the magic of the Kindle.

Jackie was very generous and offered me her second Kindle to where I read another seven books.

Wow.

Yeah.

And you put out your official ranking.

The literary world was quaking.

Quaking in their boots.

I could feel reverberations.

No, you're the literary world.

You could feel the library.

She shook us.

There were aftershocks, too.

No, it was quaking.

Quaking.

It was an earth motherfucking quake.

But you read some really great books.

I did.

I read some fucking terrible books, too.

And what's so interesting, and I feel like this is how you can see like we're evolving new year, new us.

Like, we did not watch any TV on break aside from Potomac Reunions.

And so all of the content recaps we have today are book recaps.

No, I know.

We're like such nerds.

Such nerds.

We're so nerdy.

Well, you know what?

Like TV is obviously my happy place, but it's also where a lot of my work stems from.

It's your homework.

So sometimes I do find TV to be like a little bit anxiety inducing.

And now I haven't watched a lick of TV in the last three weeks and it's been such a joy.

Obviously today I'm going to watch Bridgerton and this week all of our recaps, we're going to catch up every day.

So I'm not, we're both behind on like OC and Salt Lake City, but each day when we recap the new episode of whatever's on the night before, we'll be caught up on everything else.

Of whatever sauce, yeah.

And Dallas Housewives is now on.

Matt, Machelor is now

very excited for that.

Yes, and tomorrow I'm going to be recapping Machelor the Bachelor with Ben, who's going to be co-hosting with me tomorrow and Wednesday.

Yes, I will be be out of the show for a personal matter Tuesday and Wednesday, which is sad, but Ben will be here.

And I feel like we haven't had a be on the tea in over a year.

I know, and I'm going to make him watch a bachelorette with me tonight.

Oh my God, that's going to be so fun.

Because

it's like fresh.

He can just jump in.

And nobody knows Matt.

So like he knows just as much as you do.

And maybe it'll be nice for once to have like a straight male perspective on The Bachelor.

Yes, definitely.

That's going to be really fun.

Be on the T, but bum bum.

Be on the T.

Ooh.

So we have an amazing episode for you guys.

Yeah, I think we could jump right in.

I know.

Do you?

I don't know.

It feels so rushed, even though I've just been circling the dream.

Well, we were still, we were in the middle of talking about books before I cut you off.

So my official ranking did kind of change things in the literary space 100%.

And I did recap a lot of the books that I read on the Patreon episode, but since then I've read two books that were both absolutely atrocious.

And I just think I want to warn people so they don't waste their time.

Because in both books, like towards the end, does this happen to you where you get angry, like at the end of a book for wasting your goddamn time?

Like I was literally fucking furious at the end of the unfortunate importance of beauty.

I get that way sometimes in the middle.

I forget which book.

I mean just look at my Goodreads.

I was reading something and it really started to lag in the middle and I was like getting annoyed.

And I never do the thing where you like just skim through and like only read

only read like quotes.

No, I don't only read quotes.

I just definitely speed read.

Like not everything registers and then like I'll see where something important.

I read this book Una Out of Order, which was cute, but there was like one chapter.

If you read the book, or if you read the book, basically, the premise is this, she doesn't age chronologically.

Like, every new year is her birthday, and she skips to a different age, like skips forward, skips back.

And there was one age that, like, I just couldn't deal with.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, I finished The Unfortunate Importance of Beauty, which is impossible to say.

And I have to say, it was one of the worst books I've literally ever read.

And Jackie told me it was her favorite book that she read last year.

One of my favorite books that I read this year.

Dana had recommended it, and I loved it.

I thought it was so cute.

And you love nothing to see here.

So I was like, oh, she can live with a little magical realism.

The magical realism was so stupid and like so not believable.

I could only suspend disbelief for so long.

I loved nothing to see here.

And at the beginning of The Unfortunate Importance of Bione, I actually really, really liked it.

And I liked the premise, spoiler alert, of her like, you know, living in this disguise.

And it showed up so interesting, like just an interesting topic about like mainstream beauty standards.

But then with Lily and the piano, I was like, this book is so stupid.

Got it.

And the mask.

Oh, my God.

So stupid.

Okay, I'm sorry.

No offense to you.

I'm glad you became such a Redhead.

Yes, I know.

So I'm curious.

Like I said, I've always read on vacation, but I don't know if it's going to stick.

I just read way, way more than I ever have.

I read eight books in two.

I read the Power of the Kindle.

Power of the Kindle, 100%.

You just want to read fast.

Right.

And so I gave you my Kindle.

We're going to see if it sticks.

If not, I'll give it back.

Sweet.

Works for me.

But I'll definitely be reading Girl With No Job, The Crazy, Beautiful Life on Instagram, Thursday.

On January 26th.

Well, I'll be reading it a little before that because we are going to be recording a very special Redheads episode with the author.

So everyone, make sure you pre-order it so that you can read it within the first week and get your questions in for the author.

100%, you guys.

This is like a never before seen.

Gwunch like you've never seen her.

Gwunch like you've never seen her.

And the Redheads like you've never seen them because we've never had an author on the podcast.

I'm going to wear a turtleneck and my glasses.

Okay, but it's podcast only.

Oh, right.

But we do take a photo at the end.

Definitely be wearing my turtleneck.

Speaking of Redheads, new episode drops on Thursday, we're going to be recapping Layla, which Snitch and I read together.

We just finished.

You guys, it's really good.

It's unlike anything we've read before.

And it's our first foray into Colleen Hoover on the Redheads.

And I just, I don't want to spoil anything, but the other two Redheads who are much more literary are really liking it too.

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

And by the way, if you're struggling to get through the book, I saw some comments that people were.

It lags in the middle, but picks up at the end.

So power through, you guys.

Even if you have to only read the quotes, which is what some people do, apparently.

Counselor told us that she quotations.

Counselor told us.

Only when people are speaking.

I'm not going to lie.

I really feel that though.

Like 100%.

No, now that you've said it, like, that's going to be

my backup.

If I'm ever struggling to get through a book, maybe I'll pick up anxious people again and only read the quotes yeah no 100 oh another book another book that i started that i actually really liked in the beginning and then it was like okay we get it like you take a lot of pills was this book called how to murder your life by kat marnell and dana recommended it to me and she was like honestly it was like so quirky and different and i was like living for it at first and then it was just like so repetitive like literally over 200 pages where it's like partying i was like okay we get it you partied what happened after that yeah because obviously something happens right but you didn't finish it i didn't finish it but she had like a crazy interesting childhood and childhoods are usually my least favorite part of people's books but it was my she like she just had this crazy life in the northeast like it was so good and then it just really did not turn for you no got it well you downloaded it to my kindle so i might read it now oh yeah sorry i did waste your money it's okay no i like using someone else's kindle i like having some books on my Kindle that I haven't read and that I don't intend to read just in case I get stuck on a desert island and like now I have these books on my Kindle.

Or like a plane.

Right, right.

Or that.

Yeah.

all right, so I think we could jump in now.

I feel like, well, I feel like I'm caught up.

Those are, that's what's on my mind.

And now let's talk about others.

For the first time in 2020, I'm going to say it 100%.

I'm sure if we rewind myself, I definitely said it.

We've already said it.

But 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.

And Jackie, it is the first episode.

Uh-oh.

Oh, no.

Are you okay?

Call an ambulance.

Call an ambulance.

But not for me,

because I have something to say.

It is January 4th, you guys, and you know that today's episode needs to be brought to you by Noom.

New year, new me, new resolutions.

Think about everything you've ever learned about getting healthy.

There's a lot of contradictory information out there, and things like that old-fashioned food pyramid aren't much help.

It's not about what you just ate, but how you eat in general.

Noom teaches you about your eatings, your cravings, and how to build build new habits so you can ditch your misconceptions and get smart about food and the choices you make.

Noom is based in psychology.

They teach you why you make the choices you do and they give you the tools to replace your habits with healthier ones.

Their cognitive behavioral approach means you're not just losing weight, you're building the habits that you need to keep it off.

So you can have tons of specific goals.

or things you want to improve on in Noom.

If you want to eat better, you want to feel better, you want to have more energy, you want to fit better into your clothes, you can just want to feel more confident in general or physically more confident.

And Noom is here to help because everyone is busy and they just want you to take 10 minutes a day.

I don't think that's a lot.

Over 80% of people who sign up for Noom finish the program and over 60% of them have stuck with their goals for at least one year.

Because sometimes, and I'm the queen of this, like losing weight and then it's just like, poof, never happened.

There's a science to getting healthier.

It's called Noom.

Today's the day.

Now is the time.

New year is a totally clean slate.

And if you don't know where to start, Noom is the perfect place to start.

I've recommended it to so many people.

Okay, first story.

It's two stories.

Two big breakups already in 2021.

The first one, Kelly and Peter have broken up, and now she is sharing her thoughts on what happened.

He broke the news on Instagram.

He broke the news three days ago, and it was really shocking.

Yeah.

Like, I'm shocked.

I'm still shocked.

And I want to talk about it because there were rumors that they were like even engaged.

I know.

And they were moving in together in New York, and now they're broken up.

So she said, quote, I know a lot of you have already heard the news, but I wanted to take some time to process it for myself before sharing.

It saddens me to say this, but Peter and I have decided to go our separate ways.

Peter and I had some unbelievable times together and they will definitely be missed.

She said, unfortunately, him and I are in two different stages of our lives and saw our future paths differently.

I wish Peter the absolute best and want to thank everyone for your continued support as I move on to my next chapter.

So I think the interesting nugget here is they broke up because they're in two different stages of their lives and saw their future future paths differently.

And who's in what stage?

Zoom in on that, like what happened.

Yeah, I mean, honestly, like, Kelly is an absolute motherfucking queen.

And like Peter like disgraced her on national television.

So I'm sure that's like hard to get past.

But what's going to be still about?

No, no, no, no, no.

But all I'm saying is that like they're, yes, I agree, Kelly.

You're on two different planes.

Like, Peter's a child and you're a woman.

And you are just everything of the sort.

And unfortunately, even though I tried to like see it for Kelly, Peter is the definition of nothing of the sort.

And honestly, I might even say he was one of the worst bachelors we've ever had in our entire lives.

And I never felt so frustrated watching television as I did when Peter, what's his last name?

What?

Pilot was on my screen.

So I'm like, of course, Kelly's too good for this.

Like, she's an absolute radiant queen.

And Peter is just the sorry people.

I'm sorry.

Okay, I agree.

And I would have said that like eight months ago.

And I haven't like shipped them for one fucking second.

I really shipped them.

And like this, to me, considering everything that you just said, but they were making it work.

And now that they're broken up, like,

I guess it just goes back to everything you just said.

Oh, no, it's like at the end of the day.

What were in the last seven months about?

Quarantine.

And at the end of the day, like...

No, but like they were like golfing and with barb.

Jenny, at the end of the day, like you can, you know, try and make it work.

But a queen is a queen and a sorry person is a sorry person.

I agree with that.

And someone who's everything of the sort is EOTS and someone who's nothing of the sort is N-O-TS.

And that's just the way of the world.

And literally nothing, not even the pandemic can change that.

I guess.

So you're saying like at the end of the day, it was those initial things that broke them up.

And she was just like,

no, I'm not saying that's the reason I'm just saying like as a viewer I'm like obviously these two people didn't work out one of them is a queen and one of them is a sorry person I know but like this queen took this sorry person in so what she's guess the times we're living in a pandemic

then hold being a sorry person against him but you're not listening to me I'm not saying that's why she broke up with him I'm just saying everyone's like all shocked I'm not queens don't hang out with sorry people but she did

maybe he wasn't as sorry as you thought extenuating circumstances we were living in a pandemic and you know what you do crazy things when you think the world is gonna end okay and I understand Kelly and this man is just not the man for you.

I guess.

It's like, in no way is he the man for her at all.

Like, just,

this is the least shocking news I've ever heard.

And everyone, like, what?

You know what I'm more shocked by?

That Kelly ever took him back after what he did to her on television.

I know.

That was like really so crazy.

But like I said, desperate times call for desperate measures.

Yeah, I mean at the end of the day like I truly stand Kelly and like she made me like Peter and she made me even care about what happens to him and so I'm just gonna go with her on this one and like unfortunately Peter and I are going our separate ways once again.

And you know what?

I was a little annoyed with Kelly for like making me like see Peter because I was so fucking done with him after a season and you know the bachelorettes like legitimized

once again and the bachelorettes like they turn over so fast you really never get time to like decompress after each season and I was so unbelievably like furious at like ABC production and Peter specifically for wasting my goddamn time with his whole bullshit love story like Madison Hannah Ann Kelly like there was literally uh Kelsey like four really top four who like were just like all winners at one point.

And it was just like such a sickening waste of my time.

And I was really ready to just like put him in like the bachelor graveyard, like never wanting to see him again.

And then Kelly up and does this.

And now here I am, January 2021.

I know.

Still talking about Peter Pilot.

No, it's like the first Monday of January last year.

It was Peter Pilot's big day and the first Monday of this year.

And it's like, we need to leave Peter the Pilot in 2020 in 2020.

And I think that's what Kelly was trying to do.

And Peter Pilot picked a pack of pickled peppers.

100%.

100%.

Okay, so I guess I've made sense of this a little bit more.

You know, I'm overjoyed.

Like, Kelly is a queen with like an amazing job.

And I just think that, like,

Peter's a boy.

I also think Kelly is the sort of person who, if the bachelor producers ever need to, like, go into the archives and choose someone to be the bachelorette, like, she should be at the top of their list.

Yes, 100%.

Okay, and our next Splitsville news is that Zoe Kravitz and Carl Glessman have split after less than two years of marriage?

Crazy.

Crazy.

Isn't that crazy?

Remember when she got married, and it was like the same weekend as Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas?

And I think it was in that same town in France.

They all got married.

Right?

And then it was like, which one was Jason Momoa going to go to?

His Game of Thrones cast member or his stepdaughter?

Obviously, stepdaughter, step.

But I feel like he went to the Game of Thrones after party.

100% because that's where it was at.

But no, this is sad because now they're filing for a divorce.

Oh, I mean, like, this is so Hollywood and so quarantined.

So, like, sad for them, obviously.

A love lost.

But,

yeah, like, again, I'm not going to, this isn't one of the ships that I was like building

that I like need to now go home, you know?

Yeah, but now we have like two very eligible bachelorettes on the market.

And I think for future ships, that's exciting.

Yeah.

For my shipbuilding enterprise.

Yes, no, for business.

It's good for business.

But yes, I agree.

It'll be really interesting to see Zori Kravitz dates because she's like the belle of the ball in Hollywood right now.

She's like the bell of the ball.

And she's like gorgeous.

Maybe honestly, like Jason Momoa could step in and like set her up with a former castmate from Game of Thrones.

There's so many good looking guys.

Richard Madden is so handsome.

So handsome.

Is he single even?

I don't know.

I feel like they're all sort of wiped up.

Yeah, that's also like what I love about them.

It's such like a, like they have such family values over at the Game of Thrones cast, you know?

I totally agree.

Okay, well, our next story is a little bit of happy couple news.

Finally.

I know.

I just wanted to give you.

Bad news, then the good news.

Though I do think in general, we should deliver the good news first.

But ladies of London alum, Caroline Stanberry is engaged to her boyfriend, Sergio Corallo.

This is crazy.

This is crazy because it was a mere few months ago that we reported that she was divorced.

Which is shocking.

Shocking.

Few months later, she was dating someone very exciting.

Now she's engaged.

Like this got so serious so fast and Caroline Stanberry is an actual queen.

No, literally like queeny.

She's the queen of London and now she's like the princess of Dubai.

No, 100%.

And so whatever Caroline Stanberry wants, she gets.

Clearly.

And now she's engaged.

Even though her life has changed so much since I first discovered the queen that she was.

And honestly, like, I know you're not supposed to like envy other people's lives and like you really never know what's going on behind closed doors.

But like.

Just for like a month, I would love to be the Caroline Stanbury that was like, had that office that was like the gift guide company and was like the most fabulous woman in London and like in charge of this like fabulous group of people.

I would like to be that girl for just like a week.

No, I totally agree.

Or this girl now because it's fabulous no matter how you slice it.

Yeah, but there was like a special level of fabulosity to that Luged in life.

I know.

So this is just really exciting.

What does the man do?

I hope he has a lot of money.

Caroline needs that.

So we reported on this a while ago and he's a former professional soccer player.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, and he's good.

Extremely good looking.

And there's a lot of money in soccer.

Hopefully he's good.

Hopefully he was like, you know, first string.

Ronaldo.

He was first string for Illyria.

Actually, I heard he was really more of a Cornwall guy.

No.

Yeah.

No, that's just what I heard though.

Again, you can never trust these rumors.

No, I mean, the rumors are flying.

No, the rumor mill is an overdrive.

Overdrive, especially in 2021.

But I just think this is some happy couple news.

And again, just holding out hope that Ladies of London somehow makes it.

But she lives in Dubai, so she needs to be in like a show of like dams of Dubai.

Oh, that actually sounds good.

It does.

And I also think that if she ever did move back to London, like Ladies of London would pick up again.

I think they're just like waiting for her.

I also think Dubai makes a really interesting setting for a reality show, just like separately.

There's so much wealth there.

I agree.

Have you heard these rumors that Real House of League

is coming back?

Yes, I have.

And there's like substantial,

what's the word in svu circumstantial evidence circumstantial evidence like they're substantial but it's only circumstantial yeah no it can either happen or not which is really two of the only possibilities which is where we were a year ago but we always say like of all in the ecosystem of housewives it's so strange that miami left in the way that it did because it really was a perfect show.

They had Larsa Pippen on there for a minute, Leah Black, who was so wealthy and a part of American history.

American.

americana like it was it was excellent the hochsteins are favorite yeah so much money yeah we're ready if it decides to come back i mean i don't know how we'll do another househives on our plate but we'll manage we'll yeah that's so true i mean my plate has so full i need a bigger plate which i mean i'm like i'm used to having a really full plate

i need one of those plates that's lazy susan no um a charger a charger yeah you were like literally just make a circle with your finger but i knew exactly where you're going yeah no i need a charger it's not even a real plate, but it's big.

No, I know.

Really quickly, I want to talk about Everlane.

Okay, well, speaking of new year, new goals, James Corden is talking about his weight loss goals.

He says, Quote, I'm fed up with being unhealthy.

I feel that.

In an emotional clip, late night host James Corden details his decade-plus struggle to reach his ideal weight, emotionally confessing that he's fed up with his repeated attempts to get in shape.

He said, Quote, I've realized that every year for the past decade, probably even 15 years, on January the 1st, I've told myself and anyone that would listen that I'm going on a diet, I'm going to lose a load of weight.

He said in a clip uploaded to the WW WW Weight Watchers YouTube page.

Oh, so this is a sponsorship.

Yes, he said, I'm fed up with the way I look.

I'm fed up with being unhealthy.

This is the year I'm doing it.

Because of that, over Christmas, I've eaten everything that's in the fridge because in my head, in January, I'm starting at this diet and it'll be a success.

And as you can see, it hasn't.

It's starting to get me down in a way, he added.

I've never been able to stick to anything like that.

I've spent a long time accepting that this is my body and that's it, but I really am sick and tired of just doing the same thing every year.

He says that he reached out to WW this time around in hopes of fulfilling his resolution.

So I think, yeah, this is clearly like a partnership.

But it is really interesting because I feel like one of the one of the things I've been following like since I was a kid, whenever Weight Watchers had commercials, was like the celebrities who became

spokespeople.

And in order to be a successful spokesperson, you have to commit to losing the weight.

So it's like, you know that once they sign that contract, like they will be.

Right.

And now like.

It is obviously a lot of pressure to tell everyone you intend to lose this weight, but it also holds you more accountable that, you know, all of these people and this company is behind you and you know you're doing it so publicly i feel like there hasn't been like a big celebrity public face of weight watchers in such a long time like i literally remember the last one was like kirsty alley yeah

oprah oh well yeah but now she owns the company so that doesn't count yeah so i think this is really exciting for him me too and and i totally relate to like just being sick of like your body like i feel that a hundred percent no and being sick of like and i feel like i do the same thing it's like you know oh i know i'm gonna start a diet so i'm gonna eat what i want now because i'm not gonna be able to and then it's even more disheartening when you don't follow through on that yeah and i can only imagine like being in the public sphere like and i actually talk about this a lot in my book like being a famous fat person like it's so taxing like you have no idea and james cordon is on like is so famous he's on tv every night and i can only imagine like what he has to deal with from the public yeah so i think that this is an exciting partnership an exciting i'm excited to watch adventure and i i always appreciate when someone is so open about their journey to getting getting healthy.

And also, it's been a while since we, like, someone, a lot of people like lose weight and then they talk about it in hindsight.

They're like, this is what I did.

And it's easy.

It's, you know, you see the results.

And so,

but to go

from the outset and be so public about it, like, everyone's going to be watching him now.

It's very brave.

And it's very, very brave.

And I wish him the best.

Me too.

Good luck, James.

Good luck, James.

Okay, next story, some really funny news.

Andy Cohen drunkenly rips Mayor Bill de Blasio on CNN's Times Square holiday coverage.

This video has gone like totally viral.

By the way, so was it after 12 o'clock or did this news still happen in 2020?

This is 2021 news.

It was after midnight?

It was after midnight and

Anderson was taking a shot of tequila.

I guess he famously does not like tequila and he started to like

wince.

Wince a bit.

And he said, that's how I felt when I saw Mayor de Blasio dancing just now.

I just don't need to see that in the beginning of 2021.

Then he started to yell, get it together, do something.

or do something with this city.

It was so funny.

And I feel like every person from New York watching that was like, oh man, finally.

And you know, it actually carries a lot of weight having said that on CNN.

Yes.

It's not like, you know, on Bravo, you could say whatever you want.

Or like we're on the internet.

Yeah.

But like to say it on CNN, you could see like Anderson Cooper was like, oh no.

And then Andy, Andy was so drunk.

And he's like, all right, that's what I'm saying.

I'll be tiptoeing back to Bravo now.

It was just like a perfect moment for like New Yorkers who have been so frustrated

with like the lack of leadership and the lack of organization.

And like there's just so much to be

like confused and angry about.

And I just like really appreciated this moment of like drunk honesty from Andy Cohen.

And it was hysterical.

Hysterical.

And of course like Mayor de Blasio, he responded.

He did.

Yeah, it stinks.

What did he say?

He's so lame.

Claudia, this response is worse.

Ugh.

Not the first time I've heard a drunk person complain about someone's dance moves.

Like, so you missed a point.

Oh, that's so, we're not complaining about your dance moves.

You're coming, sir.

Oh, my God.

That is such, oh, my God.

Honestly, like, if only like politicians had a representative of his, right, had cool, young, like, forward-thinking representatives.

Because, you know what?

Mayor de Blasio should go and watch Ravens live.

Like, if really, if he's looking to rehabilitate his image, which I can't imagine that he's not, he needs to get out ahead of it.

And like, Andy's the perfect person to have in your corner.

Yeah.

Or like, Andy, like, why don't you come to Gracie Mansion?

Tell me what, uh, what I need to improve on.

Like, these politicians, they're so, so much pride.

Yeah.

No, that's such a good point but like he couldn't go out and watch it happen but also mayor bill debasio i think has already um been two terms like he can't even win again maybe he doesn't even care like he's just like i'm done with this job

i'm going home that's what it feels like yeah no 100 even though he still has like a full calendar year until he's out i don't think he can run again so maybe he's just like done yeah but you don't think he has other like hopes and dreams.

Well, he did run for president.

I know everyone forgets about that because like there was like so many people running for president.

But like I just think it's important that we don't forget like Mayor Bill de DiBasio literally thought he was doing such a good job that like the whole country needed his plan.

When people in New York are like starving and dying, like poverty, crime, he's like, yeah, this is good.

Like I should do this everywhere.

More, yeah, more of it.

Like so more.

I forgot that he ran for president.

Like honestly, he should be embarrassed.

The thing is, like, I don't think he's embarrassed.

No, no, no, no.

And that's what's embarrassing.

100%.

I mean, he thinks he's like so fabulous that he should like go out into Times Square and dance for us on New Year's Eve.

Like, no, no, okay.

We've had a hard enough year.

Dance, Mayor.

Dance.

Like, just dance for us.

Like, no.

Go home.

We're tired of you.

We are.

Oh, that's funny.

Are you ready for a fifth investment?

And you know what?

I usually don't talk about, we don't talk about like politics here, but like to me, what I love most about Mayor Bill de Blasio is that he's completely apolitical.

Like everyone hates him.

Yeah.

And that is just like in a year that's been so divisive.

At least we can all agree on that.

I find comfort in that.

I really, really do.

I agree.

Are you ready for it?

And I wonder if, like, Bill de Blasio has like a number one fan.

You know what I mean?

You know what?

I was thinking about that.

Like, I kind of want to go to his Instagram comments and like see who comments like.

De Blasio fan one, like star eyes.

Yeah, no.

I just, like, I'm curious if there actually are people who, like, adore him, you know?

Yeah.

Because he has to have like certain people around him who tell him, like, I mean, this man ran for president.

Like, he obviously thinks that the president likes him.

That's a good idea.

Somebody lied to him several times.

Oh, so funny.

So funny.

And speaking of Bill de Blasio, Ben will be co-hosting tomorrow.

And you'll be sure to get his thoughts on this.

Oh, 100%.

But Ben, like, I feel like there are people who disagree with the mayor, like, politically, based on like agenda, like bills.

Like, Ben just doesn't like his.

Like, his rat best.

Like, Ben never gives an answer.

I'm like, so what's anything like about his policies?

And Ben's like, I saw a chicken bone on the floor.

Like,

he doesn't give like, like, I can actually write out a list of, like, what I think the mayor has done wrong, like, politically.

Yes.

But Ben is just like,

there's a chicken bone on the floor.

You know what I mean?

Like, but that's why we love him.

That's why we love him.

There's a chicken bone on the floor.

You know what I mean?

I know exactly what you mean.

Okay, fifth and final story.

Some very sad news.

Country star Tyler Rich details finding a dead man's body on a New Year's Eve run.

This is so crazy.

We were just talking about this because his picture looked so familiar and I couldn't remember because I'm not familiar with his music, but at the CMA Red Carpets, we 100% spoke to him and his beautiful fiancé.

Yes, and now Tyler Rich is detailing the harrowing moment he discovered a dead man's body while out on a New Year's Eve run.

The singer shared a series of posts on Instagram in which he described finding a young man's body in the woods while running at Chicopee Memorial State Park in Massachusetts.

He said, not the way I planned on closing out 2020.

I guess my last day of the year made sense, he wrote of the incident.

My heart breaks for this poor young man.

This will be an image and moment of my life I will never forget.

He said that he was about two and a half miles into his run when he saw what he thought was a young homeless man sleeping in a heavily wooded area at the state park.

He said that he passed him a few times and just assumed he was sleeping, but then after running around him, he felt bad for him.

He was sleeping face down and just looked like he was in a bad place.

So he turned around and went back to check on him.

Then he realized that he wasn't breathing and as he got around to the front of him He saw a lifeless face covered in blood everywhere.

It looked like maybe he was shot or there was a blunt force that's so traumatizing yeah so he ran to find someone who had a phone so we could call the police and then he gave statements i mean state truth this is like at the beginning of an episode of svu like that's literally how it happens like a jogger but oh my god this is so scary and i feel like oh my god like that's so sad for the person who was shot or whatever or i don't know and also for tyler like so traumatizing so traumatizing and what a crazy story a crazy very terrible story yeah i can't imagine how traumatizing that is.

And like on the last day of the year, you're like, what does this mean?

Yeah, definitely.

It's really sad.

Oh, my God.

Very, very sad.

So.

Well, those are the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite at your moment.

Can we feel as though you needed to know them?

I mean, I don't want to.

I don't want to make any generalizations or overhype or overestimate or, you know, be too optimistic about 2020.

Please don't.

Just take it one day at a time.

One day at a time.

Oh, I'm doing a smoothie cleanse.

Thanks to Lizzie.

So that's my new year new me.

I um

thanks to Lizzo, I have been preparing to do the cleanse that she did.

I think I'm gonna like do a little vlog, you know, and take people with me.

I mean, I had to buy like a smoothie machine and everything, and I'm really excited.

When she talked about, Lizzo talked about the fact like this, the cleanse made her feel so much better, like the whites of her eyes were even brighter.

Like that just like struck a chord with me.

I was like, that's how I want to feel.

Yeah, well, I whiten the whites of my eyes in FaceTune, so I don't need to do a juice cleanse.

Stop.

I mean, I just want to see how it feels.

No, no, no, what my resolution is.

And I'll report back and I'll just like let you guys know if this is something that we need to be doing.

Yeah, I mean, I think I pretty much said I'm like never doing a cleanse like ever in my life.

But do let me know.

And best of luck to you.

No, and like for others, you know, I am an influencer.

And so I must influence.

You intend to influence.

I intend to.

My resolutions are pretty much keeping the bad bitch that I am and don't let your emails pile up.

Like I'm literally dreading how many emails I have, but like they just, if you don't take care of them, they just, they'll bury you.

They will.

That's a good resolution.

I shared on the Patreon episode.

We did an all sneeze on deck episode with the four sisters, and honestly, it's so funny.

We're like such on vacation mode, and we're just like laughing a ton.

And Mise Kaler at Michaela even made an appearance and she sneezed for us on the podcast.

She sneezed on the pod, and the pod got sicker.

And

you can head over to patreon.com slash morning toast to hear that.

But I was sharing one of my resolutions, which is just like something easy that I think will make me feel, you know, nicer in my body, which is I'm going to start, try to start shaving my legs once a week.

Oh, yeah, maybe every Sunday night.

Good luck.

Thank you.

No, good luck, seriously.

Thank you.

Um, also, so unrelated, but since you brought up Michaela, because Michaela was with us for two weeks, we

more than we cared to, you know, indulge in.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse was playing like in the house at 24-7.
