Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the Morning Toast.

Happy Hump Day!

You know, it's a special day here at the Morning Toast.

Wednesdays mean two things.

Three things, actually.

One, hump day.

So make sure to hump someone you love.

Theo's almost always here on Wednesdays, so that's why it's special.

And dear toasters.

So there's so much to be excited about, so much to be grateful for here on this Wednesday.

We've made it through the storm.

It is now bright and beautiful and a slight...

chill breeze in New York this morning.

The stormy vibe that passed through yesterday was so crazy and I was watching it from my window and you could really feel, at least in my building, I could feel the wind because the wind speeds were so high.

And what's so beautiful about New York City is all the trash that was in the street just got swept up into the air and there's flying napkins and garbage Yeah, literally, do you ever feel like a palastic bag floating through the window like in the middle of a hurricane?

Yeah, that's how I felt yesterday.

It was super crazy, but it was also slightly anticlimactic.

The hurricane lasted all of 30 minutes.

And it happened to have been the 30 minutes where I was outside.

It was about two to three hours.

So fast.

But I mean, it's pretty big for New York City, and we don't really get winds that strong here.

So you really see how the city isn't built for it, or else maybe, you know, it would, there wouldn't be trash in the streets.

But

it was it was crazy a lot of people lost power they did like yeah in new jersey like down the shore i had no idea and so um

hope everyone's okay i hope everyone's okay coned like just couldn't keep up with the power they never can they never can it's always something with coned always something with coned always and you know if you're ever looking to blame someone for like something it's always coned's fault yes scapegoat i i totally agree so um i hope everyone's doing okay post-hurricane yes hope everyone is safe at home.

Safe at home.

And yes, now it is a beautiful day.

The storm has passed.

And you know what?

The sky has finally opened.

Right.

The rain and wind stop blowing.

I was going to sing a different song, but I like that one too.

Okay, I'll go.

The sky has finally opened.

The rain and wind stop blowing.

But you're stuck out in the same old storm again.

Storm again.

Does that sound nice?

Hold tight to your umbrella, darling.

I'm just trying to tell ya that there's always been a rainbow hanging over

your head.

It'll all be all right.

I think that was beautiful.

I think that sounded really good together.

I think that if you were having this stressful morning, that either just really fucking bothered you or,

you know, brought you some calm.

Or we were the rainbow in your day.

You know, that life is all about how you see things.

I mean, we hope to be the rainbow in your day.

This show is the rainbow in my day.

Me too.

For damn sure.

The show gives me endorphins.

Yeah, there's also

there's really not much competition in my day for things like to do.

So this is my favorite part of my day because it's literally the only time of day where I see other humans.

It's the only part of day.

Right.

It is the only day.

Yeah.

I do understand.

I understand that.

But no, definitely saying good morning, millennials, is like a power motto.

And if you're ever needing to rev yourself up for something, like look in the mirror, do a power pose and say, good morning, millennials.

You know, the power pose has largely been discredited as like an ineffective method psychologically.

And I just want to let you know, I've been using the power pose for like the last five years and I think it is so beneficial and there's no way it doesn't work.

Like I am living proof that the power pose and its benefits are real.

Interesting.

I haven't, I didn't have like as much success with it, but I'm glad that you have.

It so works.

Even if it's placebo, getting yourself in that powerful kind of position and like hiking yourself up is such a fabulous way to get yourself together before a meeting before a show anything yeah I did it once before asking for a raise and I was just a mess did you get the raise yeah I got a teeny little raise okay so it worked yeah effective I guess but I think if I I don't know.

No, all I'm saying is like scientists, like because it was such a popular, like remember that woman who created like the TED Talk like went viral?

And because it had like such, um, it made such waves, when it was discredited, like the discreditation had to have made such big waves and like scientists were like all over it saying that it was ineffective and like there's no proven psychological connection and i just i just don't buy it because i'm living walking breathing proof got it well i mean what different strokes for different folks totally that's and that's the kind of science i subscribe to me too my favorite kind of science um we have such a great show for you today yesterday we recorded the redheads was a really great episode and so i'm so excited to share that with you tomorrow last night, I was so exhausted mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

So I wanted to watch something like that would be an upper.

And I made the best choice of all time.

I watched She's the Man, lights off, no phone.

Yeah.

And I, it was so amazing.

Pure comedy.

It's the funniest movie.

Even when everything was going down at the soccer game and like they were about to expose Sebastian, I was like, my hand was in the air like this.

Like I was like freaking out like I had never seen it before.

Yeah.

It's just the best movie.

And I think what makes it so good, aside from the obvious Channing Tatum, Amanda Bynes, like, I got a lifetime of knowledge, my favorite scooter, is that it's loosely based on a Shakespearean story, right?

12th Night, and that gives the movie so much gravitas.

Like, all of the characters' names, the names of the schools, they hark back to Shakespearean times.

Like, they go eat at Cesarios, like, Elyria and Cornwall are not what the schools would have been named if it was just like to all the boys I love.

Welcome to Elyria.

Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome to Elyria.

Wow, you made me actually really, that is, I've never regretted sitting down and watching that movie.

And when you watch it, you really realize how many like popular phrases originated in some form.

I got a lifetime of knowledge from she's the man.

Let the chips fall where they may.

Bro, brother, brethren?

There's so many.

She's such a good actress.

You know, it's it's also slightly devastating to watch the movie.

It is, but I was able to watch it like through the lens of just straight-up appreciation.

I even watched all of the credits because I was just like, who are these people involved in this masterpiece?

Chew, like, you have a secret.

It's literally such a good movie.

And whatever happened to that girl who played Olivia, she was like so cute.

She was so cute.

I was thinking about that for a lot of the characters, but I didn't recognize most of the names in the credits, so I don't think they went very far.

Fabulous movie.

I could actually do an entire episode on Amanda Vines and that movie because it's so good.

It's so good.

It's on HBO Max.

And so if you...

Oh, and incredibly progressive here at Elyria.

We don't discriminate based on gender.

So good.

It's on HBO Max if you want to treat yourself.

I bought HBO Max yesterday because I wanted, you told me to watch this episode of Bill Maher.

And literally, I couldn't find it on YouTube.

So I bought...

A fucking subscription.

I was getting so fucking frustrated.

But like this clip, I didn't even need to watch the whole episode.

I needed to watch this interview on Bill Maher.

Couldn't find it on YouTube.

And literally for this seven-minute clip, I bought an HBO Max subscription.

I did the same thing, and then last night I put it to good use.

And so far, I'm getting my money's worth.

Now that I know that She's the Man is on there, I will be keeping the subscription past my seven-day free trial.

I was looking for a movie to watch for like 10 minutes, and I just was like, I don't know what I want to watch, but I'll know it when I see it.

Wait, I'm literally going home after this, turning the lights off, and watching She's the Man.

Put your phone down, like, absorb every element of it.

There was like a brief moment in history where she did like two or three absolutely sensational movies.

What a Girl Wants.

She's the Man.

And what was the the other one?

Sydney White?

Sidney White.

That's a fabulous movie, except the wig that she wears.

Wig.

I don't understand the reason.

It should have been called Sydney wig because

it's so obvious.

Yeah, I didn't understand the reason for the wig.

It's so strange.

Maybe it's not even a wig.

It's like a toupee headpiece for her hairline.

No, like she wanted to cover her ears the whole movie.

I don't know.

Maybe she had like ear surgery.

Right, right, right.

That's the only thing that could possibly be.

It could make sense.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, I could literally talk about Amanda Bides for hours, but we digress.

Yeah, we digress.

I just wanted to share that with everyone in case anyone was looking for a pick-me-up film.

That is so, like, I don't even want to waste it because I want to maybe hold on to it for when I'm having a really bad day.

Not having a terrible day today, you know.

I'm pleased with the way that my

makeup is.

It's very cute.

Thank you.

I'm like pleased with how everything came out.

I had a lovely time last night seeing you and the Redheads.

I met up with the Redheads after they recorded their episode and we had a nice alfresco dinner.

And I'm feeling in high spirits.

Yeah, very high spirits.

So maybe I'll hold on to the movie.

Yeah, hold hold on to the movie, but you never know where the day could take you, you know?

Truly.

Roller coaster, quarantine is, we're not even in quarantine, but like I still refer to my life as quarantine because I basically, I am quarantined.

But New York is in like phase 11 now.

Yeah, we're just in like

a social and economic depression.

Yes.

And emotional.

Emotional, mental.

That's the social element.

Spiritual.

Inside and outside, we are depressed.

Actually, you know what?

I take it back.

I am actually not in a spiritual depression.

I feel as though I've been very connected to my spirituality in in these dark times because like when you're feeling so low, like what else is there to do except cry before bed and pray, you know?

Yeah, and pray gets better.

No, literally, like all like, and it's actually a nice feeling when it's like literally things can't get anywhere.

It's like, what do I do?

Lucy has something to do.

I pray.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So my spirits to God have never been higher, but my spirits socially, pretty low.

Pretty, pretty low.

But that's what we're here for to turn things around for the day.

So I guess we could get right into it if there's not anything else we want to cover.

No, you?

No, I feel, I feel covered.

So worthwhile.

So worthwhile.

Did you hear Doreen on Railhouse Rise of Beverly Hill?

Yes, call it an investment.

When they were shopping and she was rationalizing to ourselves, she's like, it's an investment.

No, totally.

She was trying to get Garcelle to buy the $30,000 fur coat.

Yeah, that coat was not worth that.

No, not at all.

No, okay.

Yeah.

I didn't think so for one second.

No, me neither.

And I thought it was going to be like $10,000.

Yeah.

Okay, the first story of the day is really the big news of the day that is very exciting.

Kristen Cavallari and ex-Steven Coletti reunite for a photo after her split from Jay Cutler.

So I'm sure the photo has been heard around the world, even though the quality is nothing but

on Tuesday, she shared a selfie of herself cuddled up to Stephen Coletti on Instagram, captioning it, 2004 or 2020.

It shows the two smiling softly.

I mean this

obviously, like for the pop culture fanatic who we literally grew up on Laguna Beach.

And Steve then.

And the hills, like this is so unbelievably full circle and it's beautiful.

Even if you weren't team Kristen, like, we've evolved past that.

And, like, it would be fabulous if these two got together.

But it really reminds me of

kind of like Morgan Stewart.

Now, allow me to.

Okay, go on your journey.

Go on my journey.

So.

Kristen Cavalier, I'm trying to remember.

Okay.

Kristen Cavalier and Stephen Claudia obviously dated way before she was married.

In high school.

In high school.

But like it was, it was on TV.

So it was.

It was her first love.

It was her first love.

And

to go back to him immediately after, I don't know if they're together, but like if they are together, to go back to him after

immediately getting divorced, it's like, oh, is Jay Cutler thinking, like, oh my God, was he thinking, was Christine Cattaleri thinking about Stephen Cledty the whole time we were married?

And that's like now Jordan is,

fuck, so many names, sorry.

Morgan Stewart is engaged to Jordan McGraw.

And a lot of people don't know.

She actually dated Jordan McGraw before Brendan.

So it's like now she's back with Jordan McGraw, and it's like the guy she told you not to worry about.

Yeah, okay.

So do you see the parallel?

Do you see the parallel, but I just need to add one comment because obviously I ship so hard and this is beautiful.

But Justin Anderson commented on her post and he's her best friend and he said, Oh Lord, here come the internet rumors.

You two haven't aged a day, making it seem like they're friends, they caught up and they posted this picture just to fuck with everyone.

But in no world are they dating?

I don't know.

It's just.

In no world are they dating.

I, I, it's too good to be true, but also like she is not the person that she was in 2004.

She's so annoying in 2005.

And so I, to me, it's like too much time has passed and it's just a fun novelty thing at this point.

When I saw it, I didn't have like, like my ship wasn't coming into the port or anything.

Like everyone, the port was clear.

I wonder if I like started watching Laguna Beach again, would I still be like so hard team Elsie?

Like I hated Kristen Cavalier because she was just like

like showing up places like that she wasn't meant to be at.

Yeah.

But now I feel like if I watch it, like I might be a Kristen stan.

Well, watching it as a Kristen Stan, you might just automatically start on Kristen's side, but we all started on LC's side because she was the narrator and like she was our girl.

And it was her show.

And Kristen was getting in the way of her love story.

Yeah, totally.

Also, I do think like Kristen has her mean moments on the show.

And so you can,

you might like those or you might not like those.

I remember I watched Laguna Beach.

Within the last five years, I watched a few episodes.

And what I realized was that they're drunk the whole time.

Wow.

Like when I was growing up watching it, like when they were drinking out of red cups, like I didn't know what I was watching.

But now, like, the way that they talk and their talk so slow and slurred, it's like, oh, they're just drunk.

That's so interesting.

Yeah.

But they're so young that, like, they're hiding that they're drinking.

Of course, because they could never do it on TV.

That's like even CSTK.

Some of the kids weren't even 21 until recently.

Also, do you guys do you remember that like spin-off show, Newport Beach?

Yes.

That never really went anywhere.

I liked that too.

And when the two people kissed and they played Bubbly by Colby Calla.

Oh, that's cute.

I mean, those types of shows used to be like literally like AR ⁇ R for me.

Like, if your song was on that show, like you made it, you know?

And they used to play like the best, like, early 2000s, like Simple Plan type of stuff.

It was fabulous.

It was a

mixture of papa culture, music, love.

It was great for music discovery.

That was a great day to be, a great time to be like a kid.

Yeah, like I'm happy that that's when, that's the era we were in.

And I think that, like, when kids who are now that age, like, what is their ticket?

The Laguna Beach.

That's what I was going to say.

And they get their music from tick tock yeah and they're people that they love to follow from tick tock i much prefer the laguna beach childhood years over the tick tock years yeah i think they're both good but i i liked i mean everything that was popping during in pop culture when we were growing up like we consumed so heavily so hard we stay we stand so hard like we watch so much tv we it was like really a golden age of television reality television and we were right there consuming it all and it was like the disney channel change it for the world i wouldn't either like the disney channel literally wasn't like, I guess it was like a kids' network, but there was like a few years where it was like hot teenagers before they got like a little too old, like Hannah Montana, Selena Gomez, Jonas Brothers.

And that was really like the golden years of Disney Channel and of our childhood.

Yeah.

It was a good time to grow up.

I'm not going to lie.

Good time.

It was a good, good time to be alive.

I have no regrets about growing up in that time.

No, I have no regrets either.

Except,

you know, when you were a kid, like going to a concert was such a big deal.

Like, I think, like, by the time I was 15, I maybe went to one, maybe two concerts because it was just like, I don't know if it was like this for everyone, but it was like such a big deal and it was so special.

And they were like, they never came to your town.

And when they did, you had to beg your parents.

And now I just feel like kids go to concerts all the time.

No, I still feel like for kids going to concerts are a big deal because your parents have to take you.

Concerts can be like really, they're funny people and it can be dangerous.

No, and you need to be supervised.

And so if your parents are taking you to a concert and you also don't have your own money, like

you only get to go to the biggest and ones.

They're not going to take you every week to a show.

Well, that was the worst.

Like JoJo Siwa.

Not having the financial freedom to make your own choices.

Yeah.

That's my favorite part about being an adult.

Yeah.

Financial freedom is fabulous.

You can make all the investments that you want.

Yeah.

Go to all the concerts.

And just use honey and justify it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, well, I look forward to see where these two go.

I mean, I'm holding out hope.

You know, I'm an eternal optimist.

Eternal.

But that's not how I saw it when I saw it.

Yeah, no, she's, you know, wanting, she's wanting to change her Google search because right now it's not in her favor.

Yeah, and I think like maybe there was a little high school reunion.

Maybe they're still friends.

They grew up in the same town.

Maybe she's home and they saw each other and they're like, let's break the internet today.

Why not?

Why not?

You know, give Claudia and Jackie something to talk about.

Thank you, by the way, because it's been a dry week out here.

Yeah.

Okay, next up, such another cute love story.

Tiffany Haddish confirms her romance with Common.

She says, I love him.

Oh, my God, you guys.

I love this so much.

She ready.

Tiffany Haddish has confirmed her relationship with Common.

The girls' trip star revealed the romance on Steve-O's podcast, Wild Ride, calling it, quote, the best relationship I've ever been in.

This is hands down the best relationship I've ever been in, knock on wood.

I've lost 20 pounds since I've been in this relationship.

That's when you know it's good, where you're so happy and you're so busy and entwined with the other person that you actually forget to eat.

Or, sorry, on the other hand, then you gain it back when you get into the comfort stage of laying in bed.

Right.

There's also a stage where it's like you're so happy, you don't really care about what you look like because somebody loves you so much for you.

And like you're just not thinking about things that you normally would think about and you just like eat to eat and you eat to live and sometimes you gain weight and like you don't really care.

That comes eventually, but in a new, new relationship,

I found that I'm just like so busy and we're just doing things and we're dating and we're talking so much and so we're not eating the food on the date.

I've personally never experienced that, but I do have limited dating experience.

Maybe that's why I just never lost weight because I was so happy.

When I started dating Zach, I had just like lost a good amount of weight, but you know, I always have those last four pounds.

And then like in the first month that we started dating, like I took off those last four pounds and I was just in like the best shape of my life.

Never experience, but it sounds nice.

Yeah, it was, it was exciting.

And now I'm in the worst shape of my life.

She continued, quote, I feel more confident in me and it's not him that's doing it.

I'm just way happier.

And it's like knowing I got somebody that cares about me that really has my back.

It seems like he does anyways, and I love it.

I love him.

Stop.

By the way, I never would have paired these two together, but I think that Common is such an eligible bachelor.

And I've thought so ever since he was in my favorite movie just right with queen latifah such a good movie if you've never seen it also very feel-good um

and this is just like a a pairing i didn't know that i needed and now that i see it and she really describes like how happy they are together they have to get married i'm sorry Yeah, no, hearing her describe how happy they are together and also just I love the idea of them and then knowing that it is that good is everything of the sort.

And I'm so happy for them.

And I feel like it's been a while.

I mean, I guess we've gotten some really good couples in in the queue.

Well, so I was going to say top of the list.

This is a quarantine couple that spending all this time together has helped instead of sorry, Kelly Clarkson hurt their relationship.

And for that, we need to be grateful to the queue.

They gave us Tiffany Haddish in common.

Like, I can't.

She said they've both been tested for COVID and are clear.

So, quote, yeah, we've been fucking.

I don't know if that's just so funny because you said it or it's just she's so funny.

And actually, I loved her Netflix special.

She, did you watch it?

It was a good Netflix special, but the best thing was that she broke the fourth wall because she was filming in front of a live studio audience and

her mic pack fell down her pants from her

back of her jeans.

And she literally stopped the comedy show

mid-show and they kept it in the special where like someone had to come out and fix her her pants and she literally kept doing like improv stand-up while there was like a woman rewiring her mic pack and it was very funny and very impressive and I really liked it.

Oh, that's so interesting.

Yeah, it was good.

Well, this is just great news.

Like a little

news to start your day, you know?

Yeah.

And it's very rare that like celebrities are this open about a relationship in terms of like, he makes me feel like you never get that.

Right.

But also they had like popped up together a few times in the last few months, but not confirming that they were in a relationship or anything.

I didn't see that.

Yeah, like they came onto someone's like Zoom party and flaunted their romance at Questlove's Instagram live birthday celebration.

So I feel like I was just like seeing like headlines, but not any confirmation.

So any confirmation straight from her with all the tea about how great it is is fabulous.

Yeah, she's like making single girls jealous.

Like she's describing exactly what everyone wants.

Yeah.

Totally.

Okay, next story: some exciting news for the talkers.

TikTok star Addison Ray is launching Item Beauty Makeup Line.

Let's take a pause for the sirens.

Okay, sorry, that was dramatic.

It did drive the other way.

I just didn't want anyone to think they were getting pulled over.

Totally.

The 19-year-old TikTok star announced on Tuesday that she has partnered with incubator company Made by Collective to launch her own makeup brand, Item Beauty.

The line will launch with six products on August 11th, including eyeshadow, brightening powder, brow definer, lip oil, a contour duo, and mascara, with Addison serving as the company's co-founder and chief innovation officer.

I mean, this is a conversation we had last week with Dixie and Charlie D'Amelio being the faces of Morphe 2.

And I actually really like this route for Addison.

I don't know, I'm not like that familiar with her to know if like makeup is like an integral part of her brand and like if this should be the first company that she launches.

But regardless, as an influencer, and you only really learn this until you've been doing it for a while, it's so much better to spend your time like investing in a brand that you own as opposed to brands who are just going to pay you for your time.

Because while that's great money, there's no like stability or longevity in it and you get canceled and that is gone in an instant so um

i think this is great i think whoever is advising addison is doing a fabulous job yeah i totally agree i think this is great i think as far as like her makeup um

look goes i think her eyelashes are kind of iconic they're extremely long and she always i think she She's always wearing makeup.

Like she has like a light beat at all times.

And so I do think that this makes sense and it's exciting.

It's exciting.

It's fabulous.

I wish her success.

It is always exciting, at least for me and for you, to see

the trajectory that influencers go on and the choices that they make.

Like some people become big influencers and then they put out a song.

Right, like what do they want to do?

Yeah.

And so I agree that I think everything that Addison has done has been extremely shrewd in terms of business.

And I think she has great advisors.

And also, I think she's just...

a good girl who knows what she likes and knows what she wants and is and is there therefore it's easy to merchandise yourself when you have a lot of great things going on for you and i think she's a good role model and i think that that'll take her really far and you're right like watching especially on tick tock because it's like breaking so many like records in a lot of ways it's so interesting to like watch just like like this is like an incubator like where can how far can social media take people this is the biggest app in the world they have the biggest platforms like it's just really cool and interesting to see like what they do and what they are successful at what doesn't work out like It's just very cool to watch and I enjoy reporting on it because I find it fascinating.

Yeah, I enjoy reporting on it too because

it is really fascinating.

I'm not in love with the name of her company.

Meaning, there it doesn't feel super personal to her.

Item Beauty.

I feel like it could have been called Pouty Face.

That is such a good thing.

Because that's her thing.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But maybe she wants it to be less like about her.

Yeah.

And maybe she's just like serving on the board of this company.

Right.

It's not, she doesn't own it.

Right.

Maybe they're paying her a salary even.

Who knows?

Very interesting.

I will be following up on this story and maybe even purchasing some products.

Doing a review?

Ooh.

Maybe a beauty review on our Patreon.

Okay, next story.

Some big movie news that I find quite interesting.

Mulan will skip theaters and premiere on Disney Plus.

I mean, they're having so much success with that.

Yeah, but they had dropped some premieres on Disney Plus, but they were always saying like Mulan will be in theaters.

Right.

But now in another major blow to movie theaters, Disney announced Mulan will forego its planned theater.

I'm sorry, its planned theatrical release.

Instead, the movie will premiere on Disney Plus on September 4th for a rental price of $29.99.

Wow.

Wait, that's crazy.

That is crazy.

Sorry, if you pay for a subscription, you still have to pay for the movie?

You know what?

I mean,

sure, it would have been nice if it came with your Disney Plus subscription, but they're making up the cost of movie tickets.

But is it only available to purchase on Disney Plus, or can you also purchase it on Apple TV?

I'm sure you'll be able to purchase it on Apple TV eventually.

Maybe it's Disney Plus first.

Maybe Disney Plus is a better price.

Like maybe on Apple TV, it'll be $35.

I mean, that's crazy for a movie, but if you think about it, like you watch a movie with your family, and that's four people.

And this is a family movie.

Right, and a movie ticket is $15 per person.

So technically, yeah, but you're not getting the experience.

And honestly, I thought they had such success with Trolls.

It wasn't on Disney Plus, but it was like straight to VOD, video on.

Right.

Like, it was trending on the Apple store because I literally, with my comedy special, I did make it to number two overall on movies.

And I did never get past trolls.

Like, I never beat number one.

Just like, as big as you are, you can never beat the influence of Stormy Webster.

No, that's not it.

And it was a real metaphor for my career.

As big as I get, like, I'll never beat the trolls.

Oh, my God.

It was really beautiful, actually.

And it was a humbling moment.

But yeah, by the way, I don't know if I mentioned this, but I came out with a comedy special.

It's called Disgraced Queen, and it is so funny.

The reviews are in, and they're just absolutely sensational.

And if you want to watch it,

it's called Disgraced Queen.

It's available on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, iTunes, a bunch of places.

You can also stream the audio.

Like if you listen to this podcast and you have a long car ride coming up, you can listen to like the whole 75 minutes on Spotify, Amazon music, Apple Music, all the places.

So there's a highlight on my Instagram story.

It's Girl With No Job, it's my Instagram.

There's a highlight called Disgrace Queen and it has links to all the places you could purchase.

And if you're an international toaster and you're having trouble, I suggest using the Vimeo link because you can purchase or rent for cheaper on Vimeo.

And it's just according to my international, my huge international following.

It's a good product.

Great.

Love to see it.

Spend a night, you know, invite some friends over.

Have some wine.

I would add that to my list of like, she's the man, of things.

No, I'm not even like blowing smoke up your ass or whatever.

Um, of things that are uppers, content uppers.

Content uppers.

And it's so hard to find.

I find myself, maybe it's just I'm like very vulnerable in quarantine and like my emotional state is like not at its best.

But I have a hard time watching movies or TV shows that have like

some sort of like

disruption.

Do you know what I mean?

It's like things are going great in the movie and then like something happens, and like it's plot twists, you know.

I find it like very hard to watch emotionally.

Yeah, like I get real-life anxiety from stupid shit happening in movies, yeah, so I can't watch TV anymore.

I feel like that's all you do.

No, but I only watch TV that I've seen, like, because it because I'm comfortable.

No, but then you started watching The Crown and you liked that.

Oh, that's true, that's true.

And I still have two episodes left, but that's really the only thing I've started in quarantine.

Like, until you start Yellowstone, I'm gonna make you.

But I have a feeling that's gonna be real anxiety-inducing.

I don't think so.

I think it's quite mellowing.

Like, the bucolicness of it, it just trumps all.

Okay.

Okay, well, here's more information on Mulan.

It was originally scheduled to open on March 27th.

It was meant to be one of Disney's major theatrical releases for the year.

I remember.

The studio mounted a lavish red carpet premiere at the Dolby, but just three days later, the cascade of industry closures caused by COVID forced them to postpone Mulan's release to July 24th.

Then in late June, as you know, nothing changed, Disney pushed the film again to August

21st before indefinitely removing it from the calendar.

So now they have settled on this Disney Plus release and I actually think that this is a great idea.

I'm so excited to see this movie and I think it's exactly the sort of content that we need right now, you know?

Yeah.

And they have the movie in the can ready to go and what's the point in continuing to push it off?

You might agree, we're going to wait another year to see this movie.

People like need stuff to watch and honestly, I think that I don't know.

if this is an actual statistic, but movies and TV shows that are being released during quarantine are definitely performing well.

Yeah, like I know, I think with my special, like I got way more people watching than if it was a regular summer June Tuesday, you know what I mean?

Yeah, I think, I don't know, I feel like in the beginning that's how it was.

Now, I'm not so sure, and it's weird because some of like the Netflix content I think is doing really well.

Like, I don't think Tiger King would have been anything of the sort without quarantine, right?

But then, like, other TV shows, I think, are having like record low numbers.

Oh, interesting.

You mean like cable shows?

Yeah, probably it's like the things that are being filmed from home.

Yeah.

Oh, I mean, of course.

Yeah.

I can't.

Even when you wanted me to watch Bill Maher, his segments from home are actually very, very well done.

They obviously set up like an HBO studio in his house, but the guests and Zoom and the Wi-Fi, like at the end of the episode, Jim Carrey was on, and they kept talking over each other.

And when you talk over, it mutes.

So it was literally a silent interview.

It was so frustrating.

That's really frustrating.

And that's HBO.

Like, come on.

Yeah,

that's rough.

But the segment I made you watch, which was the segment with Barry Weiss, which you guys should watch.

On Cancel Culture, it was fascinating.

It's fascinating.

She's fabulous.

And I thought that the way that it was done via Zoom still was fine.

Yeah, no, Barry's connection was good.

There was another guy whose connection was not so good.

And it was really bothering me.

Like, I can't, that really triggers me.

Like, it's the Zoom content.

That's why I was so nervous about virtual reunions on Bravo, but they didn't use Zoom.

Like, they literally sent everyone equipment and was like a manual on how to do it.

And even the first one, which was Atlanta, was very well done and it's gotten better and better since.

So I don't have a problem.

I don't take umbrage with that, but I have major umbrage with like these interview shows that like even Watch Rappin's Live with Kiki Palmer and Giselle.

Kiki Palmer's Wi-Fi was so bad.

Yeah.

And it just, it ruins it.

Yeah, I agree.

But that's all

we got.

Okay, fifth and final story, big update on something we've been talking a lot about.

Instagram launches TikTok competitor Reels today.

By the way, my content is like so overperforming.

They gave it to like a bunch of verified people

before to like bank content so that when it rolled out to everyone, there was stuff for people to watch.

And I just uploaded like a bunch of my, maybe my, three of my best TikToks.

And I guess today it literally rolled out because like they had like 50 views because only people who could see it are people.

Fellow verified accounts.

But it got rolled out to a bunch of people.

And my videos are just truly taking off.

And I've said it once, I've said it again.

I couldn't make make it on TikTok, but I will make it on Reels.

Like, I will make it, okay?

You will hear me cry.

I will make it.

Okay, you're going to make it.

Thank you.

I'm excited.

I excited, but I didn't post anything.

You should.

I know.

I feel like it could be, like, they're definitely probably like pushing that content.

It can be just like a great growth moment, I think.

Okay, I'll think so.

You had a good,

you made a great TikTok once that was like how you edited this photo to have this guy.

You should just

because that's what people like.

You are a lifestyle, but you're really like

here, you're like the behind-the-scenes lifestyle.

Like, here's how I do this, you know?

Like, here's what it looks like, but here's what's going on in the background.

Right.

And that was a, and I actually used that technique.

It was very helpful.

Okay, I'm going to post that video.

And you should make more like that.

Okay, cool.

I'll show you guys how I edit my photos.

Right.

Oh, and then you also have a product, so that's like so your brand.

That is so my brand.

You're so right.

JackieoFlow.com.

Get your summer presets, y'all.

I mean, if you're literally uploading a picture without preset, it's like you're an actual beast.

Like, it's just, it's disgusting.

It's, it's not great.

It's bad.

It's just so simple to add a preset to it.

You know, even like Ben is just now like on out of control.

And he also got his sister Maddie and they're sending each other pictures of how to lightroom because Ben cannot figure out for the life of him.

Yeah, Ben just texts me his photos and I and I send them back.

Right, but everyone's on the flow, you guys.

Everyone's on the tackio flow.

Okay, the app's 1 billion users on Instagram can now shoot, edit, and post 15-second video clips.

They need to make that up to a minute in order to fully compete with TikTok.

15 seconds is way too short.

We've always been able, like for the longest time, they already did this when they rolled out Instagram videos.

First it was 15 seconds and people like it was too long and too short at the same time and then eventually they made it one minute but by then like it was over videos like it was just nothing of the sort.

It really should have been 30 seconds.

Yeah.

But they have launched their new video feature called Reels as it looks to take on the fast-growing upstart TikTok.

The feature which Instagram tested for months in countries including Brazil and India allows users to shoot, edit, and post 15 second video clips set to snippets of music or audio.

The videos can be viewed via a new portal on Instagram's Explorer page, which curates and personalizes posts based on a user's preferences.

Oh, I guess that's why my videos got a ton of views because it was on the Explorer page.

Yeah.

Interesting.

No, I think it's good.

The interface itself is not my favorite, and I'm still pretty much just making the content on TikTok and uploading it to stories.

Just like I received with Snapchat?

Yeah, because I can't figure it out yet, and it's not that user-friendly.

Like, you can't add music to one segment, but not the other.

It's just, it's not there yet.

so i think it'll get there but um i'm not actually using the interface right now can you post on reels without it going into your feed okay so that was my question i'm pretty sure when you post on reels it goes to like your timeline

but on your profile it's not on your grid okay okay that's good there's a separate thing right next to your grid that is now your reels.

Yes, like where IGTV has been buried.

Yes, exactly.

It's a burial ground for all of TikToks, all of Instagram's bad stolen ideas.

But we'll see.

I'm excited, honestly.

This is very exciting.

I'm excited too.

It sounds like a solution to the problem to a problem.

Oh, I have like a hair in my eye.

Yes, well, it definitely sounds like a solution to my problem, which is not being able to make it on TikTok.

Yeah, but you were doing well.

Like, it wasn't that

80,000 followers is pretty good.

I'm actually at 90, but it's what's upsetting is like how much time and effort I put into it, like for that result.

And it's no, like, TikTok was known why people loved it so much.

It was like, anyone can do it, and anyone can go viral.

And a viral video can literally, you can build a brand around it.

So it's like, I did have a few viral videos, and it's just like, it never got to the place where i needed it to which was like 500 000 followers yeah i mean realism i'm here

i'm ready she's ready she ready okay wednesday means dear toasters which is becoming the best part of my week dear toasters is our advice segment if you ever want to write in we will always keep it anonymous and the email account is dear toasters at gmail.com again deartoasters at gmail.com you can write in about anything we'll always keep it anonymous and it's great.

So let's do it.

I'm excited.

By the way, I don't read them before because like last week's was so good and I had not read it.

Yeah, no, it's important.

Dear Claude and Jack, how you dern?

Good to see you.

I need advice.

My fiancé and I have been together for seven years since we met in college.

I've always wanted to get married in St.

Thomas because it was my family's favorite vacation spot growing up.

Before me and my boyfriend got engaged, I talked to my best friend all about my dream wedding in St.

Thomas.

Oh, I know where this is going.

My best friend has been dating her boyfriend for only a year and they got engaged one month before we did.

After she got engaged, she told me she was planning a wedding in St.

Thomas.

This was so annoying considering that neither her or her fiancé have ever even been to St.

Thomas.

My best friend.

Oh, this is annoying.

My best friend has a lot more money than I do and has been planning on having her wedding at the best five-star resort in St.

Thomas a month after mine.

I've never been jealous or competitive with my friends, but I can help feel like she stole.

I can't help but feel like she stole my wedding and is just now going to do it better.

I feel like such a brat to be even upset about this, but I can't help how I'm feeling.

Should I change my wedding location, talk to my friend about how upset I am, or just get over it?

Sincerely, a hurt friend.

A hurt friend, you have a legitimate gripe.

This is, and you know what?

I went through something similar.

This is strange.

It's weird to choose a location to make, they've crossover to make all these people go back to St.

Thomas again.

And that they've never been to.

Honestly, like, for me, this is so, this is so weird.

And it's, it's also so,

you could make, like, if you said something to her, like, you could also sound crazy, even though in my heart, like, I know that this is so weird.

I'm understanding exactly how you feel.

It's, and you're not crazy.

Uncategorically weird.

And you know what would be the best case scenario for this girl?

Is if the bride who's planning the wedding in St.

Thomas is a toaster and she's like feeling like the story could be about her.

And I want you to know, like, the girl who copied the idea, like, this is really, really weird of you.

And I think you should move your location.

Yeah.

But also, when are these weddings supposed to be?

Are they even going to happen?

Maybe you push yours up.

I don't know.

Like, maybe you could use COVID like as an excuse to sort of like reorganize your plans.

Yeah, but like, it's been this girl's dream.

Like, she shouldn't have to move.

No, but like.

But you know what?

At the end of the day, really, like, a wedding is really not about how much money you spend.

Like, it's so much.

I've been to some fucking expensive weddings that were boring as hell.

And I've been to some reasonably priced weddings that were so much more fun.

Like, it's really about the people and the couple and the music and the alcohol.

So, like, that's really it.

Nobody cares about your fucking centerpieces.

Like, it's such a waste of money.

So, I want to worry.

I'm going to sit her wedding first.

Yes.

Okay.

I think the first wedding, like, people for the second wedding, it's like, oh, we have to go back.

And if the other girl's wedding was first, I would say that would be much worse, especially if she's going to have it like bigger than yours.

Right.

But since you're the first wedding, like, you'll, it'll be the better wedding, and maybe people won't even go back for the second one.

But honestly,

if I had a friend, it's just like such a a specific thing you know oh yes so if this if i had a friend honestly who wasn't i i don't know how close they are like if it was a best best friend like i think i maybe would feel comfortable saying something but if it was just like a friend who

is a decent friend i don't know i think i would like really reevaluate my friendship with them i mean i i just can't stand a copycat same who

who doesn't acknowledge it overt about it by the way also it's one thing like if you can own the fact that you don't really have creative ideas and like you're saying like i'm gonna going to steal this from you, that's pretty admirable in a sense.

Like, not everyone's going to have the best ideas, but if you're going to steal something and pretend like it's your own, like, that is the true crime.

Right.

And also to steal something so personal.

Like, I understand if you, you know, you don't have great taste, so this person gets a bag, you get the bag.

This person gets this coat, you get the coat.

But for something so personal, like a wedding, to steal really someone's idea for a wedding is...

It ain't right.

Well, yes,

this did happen to me.

I don't know if you remember.

I had planned, I wasn't engaged yet, but I had planned on getting married at this venue, which was very specific and

not necessarily personal to me, but it was like a really, I don't really have original creative ideas and like it was my own idea.

And I made the mistake of telling someone and that person

literally texted me the next week that they were gonna, that they visited and that they're gonna get married there.

And I was, we didn't have a lot of crossovers, so like I wasn't upset, but it was just like, okay, steal my idea.

And then I actually went to tour the place, and I really did not like the rain option.

Like if it was an outdoor venue, and it's like it's so beautiful outdoor, but if it happens to rain, if there's a cloud on the radar, you're getting married in a recall, so it wasn't gonna work.

Got it.

Yeah, that's like one level of, but this bitch is.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say this bitch.

You're hanging out with me too much.

No, no, no, but like, that's literally not the word I meant to say.

That's so crazy.

I don't know, whatever.

This situation, it just seems way more personal.

St.

Thomas is, you know, it's not just 20 minutes away.

Like, right.

It's so much more orchestrated and so this is where it this seems more similar to stealing someone's baby name yeah because it's so personal i would i would talk to her and i would

write out before like what you want to say why it makes you feel this way and be prepared to lose a friendship and also just make your wedding fun and a fun wedding is not incumbent on money like i can't stress that enough oh it really is so much about the alcohol and the people and the people alcohol banned people like as long as you make sure that like the bar is stocked and the dance floor doesn't end and like you have an after party and like invite fun people, like you'll be fine.

It's not about money.

Like literally nobody cares about like your programs are made of ivory.

Like no one fucking cares.

Nobody cares.

Okay, next up.

And I wish I knew that when I planned a wedding because I waste money on so much stuff.

Dear Jackie and Claudia, first off, I want to thank you guys for the amazing shows throughout the queue.

They have been a lifesaver.

Thank you.

Here's my situation.

My boyfriend and I have been dating three years.

He's the sweetest, nicest, and most easygoing boyfriend.

We get along so well and hardly fight.

Before the queue started, after a long day of drinking, I I hit up this girl who I knew was kind of into me.

We went out that night and then things went further.

You can use your imagination.

I guess I identify as straight, but my friends who really know me know that I tend to have crushers on girls and make out with my friends when I am drunk.

Sexuality is a spectrum.

Whatever.

The following morning, I woke up with the biggest pit I've ever had.

I told my closest friends and they all advised me that I tell my boyfriend what happened.

I saw him the next day thinking that I would not tell him, but the guilt was overwhelming.

I broke down and I told him what had happened.

He asked for details, but I told him I wasn't ready to share just yet.

I think I was just scared to say it out loud.

He was pissed, but not nearly as mad as he could have been.

He did admit it feels a little different because this happened with a girl rather than a guy.

After this quick, fairly calm chat, he said he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

It's been about five months and we haven't spoken about it since that day.

Mind you, I've been quarantining with my boyfriend the entire time.

I was obviously relieved that he wasn't mad and wanted to drop it right away, but should I be worried that he didn't care more?

It's not like this girl is the one, but I clearly have some figuring out to do in terms of my sexuality.

I'm in my early 20s and I feel like this is the time in my life I should be figuring this stuff out.

But I do love my boyfriend, and I can't imagine breaking up with him.

Any advice?

Love a confused toaster.

You know, I feel like this is one of these things where it's not either or.

I think you can

be open and like, why should you break up with your boyfriend?

Sounds like you have a good relationship.

Like, I think you can stay with your boyfriend, but you do need to talk about this like with yourself and with him.

And he can be a part of this journey or not, you know?

Yeah, like.

I think I agree with you.

It doesn't have to be either or, but whatever you decide to do, like your boyfriend needs to be included in the decision and just like know what's going on.

I also feel like a lot of guys would like this.

Yeah.

But

it seems like he is conflicted about it because he forgave you, but doesn't want to talk about it.

Maybe it's painful for him.

So I would, I think communication is the answer here.

I initially think a threesome is the answer here, but maybe we're a few steps behind that.

Just let him know how you're feeling like and go through your thought process with him and maybe he might have some insights that will make you feel or like ideas that might make things more clear to you so we're not i definitely think it's important to like if you're feeling this way you should pay attention to that yeah and not just be like i don't know don't ignore it yeah don't ignore it don't ignore it i mean we're not exactly caller daddy but we're trying you know threesome so but like communication i think is is really what's best here agreed but don't um like

sweep it under the rug because this is something that'll keep coming up because it's who you are.

So I would get in your feelings.

That's what the queue is for.

What else are we doing?

That is what the queue is for.

All right, next up and final, dear Jackie and Claudia, my boyfriend, John, and I have been dating for almost three years.

This year, I was invited on John's family vacation in Rhode Island with his parents, grandma, sister, and her boyfriend.

Torture!

John and I had been fighting a lot leading up to the trip, and it really came to a head on the Saturday before we were leaving on Sunday.

He said a lot of horrible things along with the fact that he wanted to break up.

Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence, and I didn't know how much stake to put in those words as we've always worked things out and carried on the relationship.

I asked John if I should go on vacation with his family and he said to go.

He then later said he wasn't coming.

Again, didn't know if I should believe those words.

Oh man, he sounds like such a drama queen.

He was originally supposed to come for the day Sunday, return home to work Monday, Tuesday, and rejoin us Tuesday night for the rest of the trip.

He didn't come Sunday at all.

I gave him.

This is his family.

Yeah, so she's out with his family.

I gave him two days alone and tried to talk to him yesterday and he read my texts and didn't respond.

Upon

John's mom asking me what's wrong, I completely broke down and told them everything and how I felt so guilty that I was on this vacation when we maybe were actually broken up.

His parents brushed it off, said not to worry.

John's dad has a very similar personality, so it's kind of a normal thing for the men in the family to have these long day mood swings.

Sounds like a tough family.

Because of the tropical storm yesterday, he wasn't able to get here.

Now it's Wednesday morning being today.

Wow, she's really writing us in real time.

And John still hasn't talked to me at all.

I feel like we can actually be helpful for you.

Yeah, Wait, let's finish.

Wait, I feel sad, lonely, and awful being here and don't know how to proceed.

I don't want to leave and disrespect his parents who have been so generous, but is it wrong to stay?

What do I do if he doesn't come at all?

Signed, a toaster need of advice.

You're like literally on vacation, technically with strangers, and you need to get out of there.

And your boyfriend sounds honestly like a nightmare.

Like a piece of work, honestly.

If you...

I think if you want to make the relationship work and like you don't plan on breaking up with him, you should stay and stick it out.

Actually, I mean, do whatever you want.

You don't have to stay, but like it might make the thing bigger.

But I don't even know what that is.

But it doesn't sound like, but also maybe just enjoy like the free vacation.

It's hard though.

It is hard.

It is hard.

But it doesn't sound like this is a great relationship.

Like he obviously has communication issues and doesn't know how to handle his emotions.

And you seem extremely mature and like you deserve better.

And so I think it shouldn't be on him to decide, are we broken up or are we not?

Like you should make that decision.

And if you want to be broken up, then make that call.

And if you don't, then have a really like hard conversation with him where it's like, I see, I understand that maybe this is how your family does things, where you just go off the grid and you let people on vacation with strangers, but that's not going to work for me.

And if you want to be in, in this relationship, things are going to have to change.

I mean, I feel like there is potentially two things going on here.

Like, one, he could just be really immature and learn from his dad to like take a break for three days when something upsets you.

But that's not like a normal way of handling things.

I feel like, and if his dad has it too, like, it might be like some sort of condition, like mental, mental health-wise.

No, I'm serious.

Like, you go off the grid for three days, nobody hears from you.

I think it could be that, and that's a conversation worth having because this is not an adult way of handling things, you know?

It's really not, especially when you going off the grid for three days means you being left alone with his dad.

He's left alone with his family.

Like, that makes no sense.

If you guys were together and maybe not living together, and you took, like, two days off just to cool off, that's a little more decent.

But to leave you alone with his family, it's honestly extremely selfish.

Yeah.

And I think you need to start evaluating things not from like what you did wrong and what you should do.

But like, look at this person.

They're not treating you the way that you deserve to be treated.

Right.

And you're probably in that mindset because that's how he makes you feel.

But it's like, at the end of the day, he's the upset one.

Right.

You sound very rational, according to my notes, and you sound like a mature, lovely person.

You obviously have great taste in podcasts, and you seem nice because you're sticking around with someone's family who, when your boyfriend's not even there, you seem great.

It's not you,

according to my paperwork.

according to the paperwork it is not you and you have the paper by the way the paperwork does not lie no it does not lie so you have a choice to make and i think that you should really think about it because

this isn't a normal situation no he sounds like a real piece of work yeah all right that was dear toasters again if you ever want to write in please email us deartoasters at gmail.com always keep it anonymous always keeping it real always keeping it fresh we need you we got you and that's all she wrote anything else you want to say before we wrap this baby up no i think that that is all that she had written.
