Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the morning toast.

Happy hump day.

It is Wednesday.

Theo is here.

We have deer toasters.

It is the most Wednesday, Wednesday that ever Wednesday.

Is it though?

Because we took off Monday, so it's a Tuesday-y, Wednesday, but I woke up today thinking it was Thursday.

Yeah.

So we got a problem.

Yeah, I'm back to that part of quarantine.

We're like, I don't know what day it is.

I don't really care as long as it's not Monday.

Yeah, I don't.

I don't know.

I don't care.

Theo's here to celebrate hump day.

Of course he is because he is our hump mascot.

He's the crunchy angel humper.

Before we dive in, must issue a correction from yesterday's show.

I was hoaxed, you guys.

She was hoaxed.

I hate when people do this.

So as I shared that BBC News accidentally published a July 11th article saying Ghelaine Maxwell was was moved to ICU for coronavirus complications.

That was a hoax.

Like someone on 4chan started it.

And I just didn't, I don't think they started it to be a hoax.

I think they made like it was like a funny meme, like, this is what's coming, guys.

Oh, well.

People took it at face value.

You know, I feel like Americans already have a hard time trusting the media and these hoaxes just don't help.

Yeah.

And I fell prey to the hoax.

I'm sorry for spreading misinformation.

It is not the first time that has happened here.

And it most certainly won't be the last, but I must issue a correction.

It was not real.

And that's really upsetting because the conspiracy theory that I have in my brain, like something like that would happen.

Yeah, but you know what?

It's actually positive news because it allows us to

believe in the system a little bit more and not just believe that like it's not going to happen for us.

Right.

So I'm going back to my faith in the system that justice

potentially

might be served.

Potentially is when something is pertinent and potential.

And it perhaps could happen.

So sorry about that, you guys.

My mistake.

But other than that happy Wednesday everyone hope everyone had a fabulous day yesterday.

We had a fabulous evening.

We had a fabulous evening celebrating Olivia's birthday.

You know quarantine birthdays are kind of depressing but something about being at Olivia's little dinner last night was not depressing at all because

it was the power of the Prush Kayla.

And I don't think we would have done anything even if Olivia we weren't in quarantine because Olivia is a new mom and she just wanted to be with Prescella.

And we got to be with Prushcella.

And honestly, I think that like last night

like cemented a new bond in my relationship with Michaela like she was living for me yeah she was living for you when you left she was living for Zach was she yeah it was really sweet and so it was just such a great night and now we're it's the road to your birthday I know um this is just so depressing honestly because I had so many plans for my birthday and I was like laughing scoffing at other people who had quarantined birthdays and I'm like that's not gonna be me in July and the joke is on me because here I am I guess like technically with all the phases like I could have like a small get-together but one I'm not really interested in doing that two Nobody I know is in the city and three like it would just be too sad.

I'm really an all-or-nothing birthday kind of gal.

I understand.

I'm not like a middle middle kind of gal.

So it'll just be a small dinner at home, but whatever.

I'm like over it.

I'm 26.

Those are my favorite kind of birthdays and that's like, I don't know.

It'll be interesting to see if we're still in quarantine for my birthday.

I mean, that's fucking depressing.

Jackie's birthday's in November.

Yes, you should know.

I mean, it might be second wave season by then.

Who knows?

Who the hell knows?

Not me.

Not me.

We're just taking it one day at a time here at the Morning Toast.

One day at a time.

So aside from that, it was a great day.

Lots to discuss today.

Not as much as yesterday.

There was so much to discuss.

So much news yesterday.

I hope everyone headed over to our Instagram at the Morning Toast and saw those fabulous pictures of Morgan McGraw and Jordan McGraw's new house, $10 million, bought by Daddy Phil.

Daddy Phil.

Yeah.

And like, I just, I keep thinking about her life there and I like dream about it for her and I'm just so excited about it.

So excited about it.

Should we get right into it?

We have a lot to cover today.

We have Deer Toasters.

We have Deer Toasters, which is, of course, our advice segment.

So if you guys want to write in, you can email deertoasters at gmail.com.

We always keep it anonymous and you can really write in about anything.

We got some weird ones today.

And I love Wednesdays and I love Deer Toaster so much.

Me too.

But before we do that, we have to get into the Fast Five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

Thank you, Jackie.

That's beautiful.

My morning burp at the end there.

Here's your daily reminder to check out my comedy special, Disgraced Queen, available on Amazon, iTunes,

Google Play.

There's really no excuse.

It's on all the platforms, both audio and video.

Check it out.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks.

Speaking of comedy, first story, Charlemagne the God inks a deal with Comedy Central for a talk show.

New York Radio superstar, Charlemagne the God, has inked a deal with Comedy Central to make his own talk show, Vulture Reports.

The news comes amid speculation that he won't re-up his contract for 105.1's The Breakfast Club, when it ends at the end of the year, quite interressant.

Back in March, a source told Page 6, there are a lot of potential deals in the air, and he just wants to keep his options open and think strategically.

The weekly half-hour talk show could air as soon as November.

I mean, I don't know why you can't do a weekly talk show for a half-hour and then also a radio show, but I'm assuming it has something to do with contractual obligations.

And is the Breakfast Club a New York show or it's like a national show?

It's nationally syndicated.

Serious or

it's iHeartRadio.

This is so crazy because I feel like so many people, like, this would be like Howard Stern.

Like, he's a part of people's days' routines.

He's been on the Breakfast Club forever.

But I do think Charlemagne is onto bigger and better things.

Yeah, the way they're positioning this sounds kind of like a late-night talk show.

And I think Charlemagne would be fabulous at that.

I hope he starts it once a week and goes up to five nights a week if things go well.

I think this is really exciting.

And I absolutely love Charlemagne.

So I love to hear some good news.

I'm not in love with the Comedy Central selection

because that's just like a random network, and I honestly don't know if many people really watch Comedy Central anymore.

It's not really what it used to be.

Did you ever watch Comedy Central?

Literally never in my life.

Actually, I watched some of the roasts, which are pretty fabulous.

I watched the Amy Schumer show.

Oh, inside Amy Schumer.

Yeah.

So good.

I just feel like what's on Comedy Central now?

Like, what do people go there to watch?

Trevor Noah.

Trevor Noah.

Thank you.

I thought maybe.

So, oh, actually,

yeah, the Trevor Noah vibe actually is perfect for Charlemagne.

I could see them both like doing funny talk shows, but it just seems random.

I don't think it's random.

He's a comedy guy.

Comedy Central's clearly, you know, making moves.

And I think

it's a good place to be.

Where did you first learn about Charlemagne the God?

On Guy Code.

Yes, me too.

Yeah, of course.

Was that like for him his launching pad or just for us?

I think probably for us.

Yeah.

That was a great show.

Such a good show.

They need to bring that back.

Yeah.

Girl code and guy code.

And honestly, Girl Code really launched a lot of stars.

Carly Aquilino.

Nicole Bayer.

Nicole Bayer, Nessa.

Fabulous.

Fabulous.

Some other exciting news.

Bethany Frankl just launched her self-made mogul podcast called Just Be.

Bethany Frankl posted her Instagram yesterday that she is starting a podcast called Just Be.

She is teamed with Endeavor Content for the podcast.

It's devoted to being a self-made mogul in business, lifestyle, and beyond.

I want to read what she posted yesterday because it honestly sounded really interesting, like a good ass podcast.

I love this move for Bethany.

I love this move.

She said, This just in the be is back, and I'm going to mention it all on my new podcast coming soon.

Just Be with Bethany Frankel will be an unfiltered, polarizing conversation with self-made moguls who have started from the bottom and are here.

These fearless game changers will engage in interesting conversations about the unconventional journey to success.

Guests include entrepreneur Mark Cuban, Cuban, newly named Netflix CMO Bazoma St.

John, entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk, etc.

We are in a moment in time where people are afraid to express themselves and only present filtered or watered-down versions of the truth.

If this is what you're interested in, then this podcast is not for you.

I'm going to hold her to that because

it's so much easier said than done, Bethany.

I'm sure I'll get in some trouble.

I may say something inappropriate or politically incorrect, but I am always open to being educated.

Good luck with that, Bethany.

Have fun.

This will be an honest place for a real conversation.

If you can't handle the truth, you can't handle this podcast.

You can't handle the truth.

I mean, I love this.

I feel like everyone with a podcast sets out with this mentality, like unfiltered, say whatever you want.

And then you get like literally so much backlash that like it cripples your life and your self-worth.

And you just do and say what other people want you to say because it's the easier thing to do.

But I implore you to do that, Bethany.

Good luck.

I'm just a little disappointed and just be.

I'm not like living for the name and it really should have been mentioned it all I think okay mention it all obviously is an amazing name for a housewife podcast but that's not what this is and I think she's trying to move away from that which I get yes but honestly it would have been just an iconic nod to her past while walking into her future but then it's gonna be the thing that's always

mentioned with her and it's it's going I understand why why it's not it but what's always made her so fabulous is her ability to be on Shark Tank and the Real Housewives like it's this the two stratospheres that she stratifies.

She's no longer on The Real Housewives.

So, but that's where everyone knows her from.

I just would have appreciated a little bit more of a creative.

If she were a housewife who was done on Housewives and was going to start a podcast, like, because that's what you do next, she could call it mention it all.

But, like, this is something completely different.

No, but what she just described is people mentioning it all.

Like, it's literally a perfect name.

No, it's like a great tagline.

Maybe they'll have like a segment or something.

But I think she needed like a more elevated business name.

If this is really going to, if like Mark Cuban's going on and this is really going to be the business podcast to the stars i just think it was a missed iconic opportunity that's all she obviously she saw the opportunity and she she went around it because she used it in her caption missed you guys no and just be like it's just meh just be

i like it well i will i will be listening just to make sure she's you know got her levels right and really being unfiltered you know no i think this is a great idea i think she's a born podcaster i agree um as per usual we always welcome everyone into the space with open arms yes please bethany come on.

I'm so excited to have you, especially when I feel as though it's a person who was made for this medium.

Yeah, and it just feels good to like, I feel like when you're a podcaster, when huge like stars or people you really respect join the podcasting world, it just kind of like reinforces like that what we're doing is cool, you know?

Yeah, it solidifies the space for sure.

And makes it legit.

Yeah, but we were making it legit.

A,

I'm really excited about this.

I think this is a great next venture for her.

Did that show ever come out?

No, not yet.

Was it HBO Max?

I think so.

She had inked a new show with Mark Burnett.

It was like a Shark Tank type.

It was like Project Runway for Entrepreneurs.

Yeah.

Right.

I don't think it ever came out.

No, I know.

Did you ever subscribe to HBO Max?

Everything's on pause.

Did I ever subscribe to HBO Max?

Depends if I went to watch something and it was only available.

Yeah, I think I did.

I think I have it.

Yeah.

I don't think I've watched anything yet.

I'm ready for Gary Giannetti's show.

Me too.

I heard that the launch was successful, but I don't know anyone who's really like using it or talking about any of the original programming.

But according to, you know, statistics, they say that it was a great launch.

Here's what happened.

The HBO Now app, and you know what?

They're so messy over there.

And they're clearly cleaning up, but I used to have HBO Go and HBO Now.

I never know which one did the thing I needed to do.

I'd always try both, but I always had both.

Literally same.

HBO Now turned into HBO Max.

So it's already on my TV.

If I click it, I might have to make a login of some sort.

There's HBO on demand.

HBO Go, HBO Now, HBO Max.

Like, it's so confusing.

HBO Now, I think is gone.

Okay.

Goodbye, good riddance.

Goodbye, Kyle.

Like, it never did anything in the first place.

Agreed.

There's an HBO app.

HBO, period.

I believe.

I believe that I have it.

HBO question mark?

You know, HBO exclamation point.

Um, yeah.

No, but it's clear that they're getting their shit together, and I will be watching HBO Max when the programming I've been waiting for comes out.

Which is the Gary Giannetti show, which is a cartoon based off of Prince George, which is just going to be so fabulous.

Even so, so fabulous.

The trailer they released for it, which was just like a minute, was so entertaining.

That's the type of content.

That's the type of ingenuity we need at these big networks.

Like some genius who said, let's work with Gary Giannetti on a cartoon about Prince George.

That is the type of thinking we need in this current climate.

I agree.

I totally agree.

And then Bethany's show, but she's not really going to be on camera that much.

So we'll see how I feel about it.

But, anyways,

another podcast to add to our repertoire.

The repertoire.

I am a little offended she didn't go with Toast News Network, but it was such a tough call at the end.

And, you know, I trust Bethany.

She had to do what was right for her business, and I totally respect and understand that.

But just know you always have a home here at Toast News Network, Bethany Frankl.

I heard she was just like fielding offers left and right, and TNN came really close allegedly, but it just

didn't pan out.

We are also 100% kidding for those who may be not understanding our campaign.

For those who are ready to email Bethany.

oh that was funny love that okay oh i'm sorry um i have something to say do you yeah is that okay you think now is the time yeah

okay

i've been wanting to get this off my chest for a while and i've always said that um I'm gonna be open and honest and transparent on this show and today is no different.

So

having said that, I have an announcement.

Okay.

Okay, next story.

The kids are not all right.

There is some major TikTok drama brewing, and we're going to try and get to the bottom of it.

The kids are not all right.

You said, that's the name of today's episode.

They are so unwell.

I've been seeing some of the craziest, and I guess, I guess for me, it feels so crazy, but

it's kind of the equivalent, like for teenagers who like look up to these kids and like these are their biggest celebrities.

It's very very similar to the Hills.

So like I'm really shocked that these kids are getting paparazzi, but it's actually not that shocking.

You know, it's just like a different, it's really a different generation.

Yeah, it's a different generation.

They have different like ways of spilling the tea.

And here's the team.

TikTok's Nessa Barrett denounces slut shaming amid Charlie D'Amilio and Chase Hudson drama.

Drama has erupted amongst some of TikTok's biggest names.

According to 17, fans began real.

I think this is the first time we've ever reported on something from 17.

Yeah according to 17 fans began realizing on Monday that several stars from the platform had unfollowed each other on Instagram that included included Josh Richards Bryce Hall and more former and current Sway House members unfollowing Chase Hudson aka Lil Huddy Then Hudson's ex-girlfriend Charlie D'Amilio you guys know her waded into the drama seemingly lashing out at him in a tweet that read I hope she was worth it smiley dad this is so like music video do you know what I mean like it's just so all like so contrived and like so high school.

The tweet has been deleted.

That makes sense considering these are high schoolers.

Yeah.

But a TikTok fan account, the TikTok room, captured a screenshot.

According to the account, D'Amilio also deleted all of her Instagram pictures with Lil Huddy.

Hudson, aka Lil Huddy, in a since-deleted tweet, claiming that all of this drama is going on because I kissed Nessa when we were both single.

As fans know, Nessa is Richards's ex-girlfriend, and Hudson is rumored to have sent her an inappropriate photo while dating D'Amilio, which he denied.

Then D'Amilio replied, quote, Then you shouldn't have come to my house after without telling me.

Then Hudson decided to air out more drama for the TikTok community in a lengthy tweet he later deleted, prompting a scathing response from Charlie.

She said, Stop deflecting your actions onto others because you can't take responsibility, Chase.

Want me to talk about how you treated me throughout our relationship, or do you just want to continue to play the victim?

She wrote, guys, this is honestly like, I never say this, but like, this is too much.

Like, I'm overwhelmed with information.

I'm pretty sure I follow what's going on, but in case you can't follow, all you really need to know is that these young group of kids, like, some of them are dating, some of them are hooking up, and there's some drama.

And it was just like a kiss that sent the world aflame.

And this girl, Nessa, is like not really, she's not a part of the high pass, and she's not really as popular as the other girls.

Like, I'm surprised she even got to hang out with this crew.

And to be honest, the only stuff I've really heard about her is very negative.

So I'm like shocked that she's even included in this conversation.

And to me, like, this is a lesson for a young, burgeoning Charlie D'Amelio.

Like, you hang out with trash, like, you start to smell.

Like, I, this is like, Charlie D'Amelio was at the Super Bowl, she met JL.

She's one of the biggest stars in the world right now.

Like, what is she doing getting involved with Lil Hootie?

Like, he is the definition of nothing of the sort.

And look what happened.

Like, you'd lie with dogs, you get fleas.

The hype house is nothing of the sort.

Nothing of the sort.

It's so trashy.

I'm Team Sway House.

I'm Team D'Amelio and Addison, who live at home with their parents, like normal 17-year-olds.

Like, I'm team stability.

Yeah.

I'm house stability.

I agree.

So, this is just

like, I don't really feel the need to get into like the inner workings of he kissed Nessa.

To be honest, like Charlie D'Amelio is better than this, and she shouldn't really have ever been with Chase just on a looks level.

But, like, she can't help how she felt.

On a looks level, it's not really equal, and just on a personality star level, it's not equal either.

So, this is a lesson.

Like, you are who you hang out with, you are who you associate with.

And Charlie is now being like dragged through this like trashy, tacky ass drama where, like, the hype house kids are literally calling paparazzi to their garage and like filming fake fights.

It's so fake.

It's so stupid.

I can't like Charlie's so much better than this like justice for Charlie.

Also little husbandy tweeted this

statement.

Statement like spilling in the tea about everyone else about how Anthony got with Sophia a week after we broke up on tour, how Jaden actively tried to hook up with Dixie at our Jaden actively tried to hook up with Dixie at our house on the 4th of July in front of me while she was dating Griffin.

So I think that Dixie is still dating Griffin, and I kind of ship.

Like, I'm really actually slowly turning into a Dixie D'Amelio stan after just thinking she was like dead weight in the D'Amelio family.

She's not.

That song is fucking good.

It's slaps.

It's good.

Because honestly, sometimes I don't want to be happy.

But do you know while Jaden was actively trying to hook up with Dixie on the 4th of July, even though she was dating Griffin, Griffin cheated on Dixie with Taylor's ex, Kaylin, and Bryce's ex-L.

Oh man, this is so fucking messy, you guys.

Like,

I'm not even going to spend my time trying to trace like who's who, but it is my understanding that, like,

I don't know.

I can't tell if this is like a genius marketing move because everyone's talking about this, like, literally old, young, everyone is talking about this.

People who don't get it, people who get it.

And it's really, I imagine for like the 16-year-olds who, like, these are their favorite celebrities, this is such an exciting time.

This is like the best episode of The Hills ever.

But for an adult, like, I'm seeing, I'm seeing it.

It's just like sad.

Why are all these people cheating on each other?

Totally.

This is what happens when like really young kids from the middle of nowhere just like rise to fame, you know?

They like lose all sense of self.

It's so sad.

Also, this is really sad, like crazy.

He said, the only person who has a right to be upset with me is Charlie, and I'm sorry I hurt her.

We broke up and I messed up by kissing Nessa.

I'm not sorry to Josh.

We are not boys and we haven't been boys since he lied to Charlie saying

I had an STD six months ago trying to get her to stop seeing me.

I'm not going to let these hypocrites try and ruin my life without their lives being out on the internet too.

You know, they fucking brought everyone down with it.

So what's the point?

Like screenshots live forever.

So don't, if you're going to go out and say something crazy, like you need to stand by it because screenshots exist forever.

Otherwise, it makes me think that it's a lying true.

Yeah.

Yeah, totally.

So this is so crazy, y'all.

Like, I truly can't even comprehend really all the intricacies, but all you need to know is that it's crazy.

And justice for Charlie, in my opinion.

Yeah.

And the ones who like we love, Charlie, Addison,

they're all right.

They're good girls.

I actually feel like they are like decent role models.

I agree.

I think that they're not the worst people for young girls to look up to.

They don't get Botox.

They're like normal looking girls and they're nice and they live with their parents.

They're just having fun and dancing.

Yeah, I can't, I feel like we really need to separate like the trash in terms of the TikTok crew.

We need to take out the trash.

Yeah, I agree.

So that's what's up with the kids.

Yeah, in case you need something to talk to your like younger sibling or daughter about at dinner tonight, tonight tell them about the Sway House drama.

Yeah, tell them that you stand with Charlie.

Yeah, and that you know when you hang out with trash you start to smell.

Yeah, that's it.

It's honestly an important lesson for young people.

For the children.

Yeah.

You are who you associate with and you lay with dogs.

Yes, please.

Scratch, scratch.

Ooh, eeek eeek.

Okay, next story.

Really

tough news for Teddy Mellencamp and her husband, who are pushing forward after their daughter's diagnosis.

So Teddy Mellencamp's husband opened up about their four-month-old daughter, Dove's upcoming neurosurgery.

Teddy had shared with her social media that her daughter

has,

her doctors caught her early diagnosis of lamboid craniosyntosis, which is a very rare type of non-syndromatic craniosynd oscosis and occurs when one of the lamboid sutures at the back of the head fuses before birth.

So they're preparing preparing for surgery.

And Edwin wrote on his

Instagram that life is always going to punch you in the face.

Teddy Mellencamp and I got some difficult news about our sweet baby girl.

Dove was diagnosed with lamboid craniosynotosis and has to undergo neurosurgery at the end of the month.

It happens every time, right when you're about to experience blessing and fulfillment in life, something comes along that threatens to bring you down.

So true.

He said that challenges can shape us into who we're meant to be or they can scare us into going back to who we used to be.

Also, so true.

He said he feels the most tested when the people he loves are experiencing hardship.

However, he's feeling stronger in his faith following Dove's diagnosis, explaining that more than ever, God has a plan.

I'm going to get through this and stay the course, push forward with unwavering faith, and focus on the things you can control.

Don't quit.

It's actually a beautifully written statement.

And this, you know, like brain surgery is so scary and it's so real and especially for a young child.

And

I was having this conversation with Olivia last night because, you know, Teddy's a new mom, Olivia's a new mom.

And it's like, you see things on social media and it really makes you question, like, am I doing, like, this person's life is so perfect.

They're like, question everything that you're doing.

Yeah.

And it's like, it looks like everything's so great.

And, you know, we say this all the time.

And it's so true.

It's like, you really just never know what's going on in someone's life.

And you really should never judge them because you just have no fucking idea.

And I think it's very brave that they're, you know, sharing because this is very personal.

And obviously, no one would falter if she wanted to keep this private.

But I just love Teddy Mellencamp and I love her family, and I love how, like, they're so faith-based, you know?

It's like everything they do is like rooted in their faith in God.

It's really inspiring.

It is really inspiring.

And we'll all be thinking of her and praying for her and her little Bebe.

And I love the name Dove.

I love the name Dove as well.

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

Also, very biblical, almost spiritual.

Yes.

Fifth and final story.

Mary Kayla Turno has died of cancer at the age of 58.

The ex-teacher was a controversial figure who gained national

notoriety after being jailed for sexually abusing her student, then later marrying him.

Mary Kay Later Turno, the controversial Washington middle school teacher, has died of stage four cancer.

People confirmed.

Was she in jail at the time of her death?

No.

She's been out for a little while.

I would think so.

Okay.

This is a tough story to report on because I respect the dead.

I do.

But I don't respect child predators, and this leaves me at a crossroads.

Yeah.

Because honestly, I wish her well.

Bye.

Yeah.

Bye.

She's like the

go-to person.

Yeah, she's an adjective now.

Yes, you got Mary Kayla Turna.

Like when there is a scandal involving usually a female teacher, but a teacher in general and a student, which is like such an abuse of power.

And it's honestly so abhorrently disgusting.

She was really like the first one.

So now she becomes like she's the face of child predatorism.

Yeah, she is.

So I guess that's her legacy.

It's just so weird when people like people like this die.

Do you know what I mean?

It's like, what do you say?

Yeah.

I have nothing to say.

I guess you just reflect on her life and her legacy and that is it.

Just being like a teacher predator

who also married her student.

Right.

Just

crazy.

No, it's crazy.

It's just, I

bye.

Bye.

Okay, so those are the five stories.

And they were pretty fast.

What?

They were pretty fast.

They were pretty fast.

We are always pretty fast here at the Morning Toast.

And Wednesday means dear toasters.

So we are going to jump into our advice segment, which is truly my favorite part of the week.

Again, email us, dear toasters at gmail.com.

Let's dive in.

Dear Jackie and Claudia,

I caught my boyfriend of two and a half years sexting an 18-year-old.

I'm 25.

He's 26.

Let me start by saying that before all this went down, he was literally the perfect boyfriend.

He treated me so well and he really loved me.

Everyone was shook when they found out what he was hiding.

Here's where it gets weird.

About six weeks ago, I received a DM from a family friend of my boyfriend's telling me that my boyfriend had been sexting with her 18-year-old daughter.

She sent screenshots.

I knew immediately it was true.

I confronted him about it and he admitted to it, but that's not all.

He also admitted to meeting other random girls on online chat rooms where he would sext and exchange nudes and that he's been doing this throughout our entire relationship.

Apparently, he's been doing this since he was a teenager.

It's like a weird secret sexting fetish that I never knew about.

And then he goes on to tell me that the same thing ended his last serious relationship.

He claims to have never physically cheated on me, and I believe him, but the girl's age is really concerning to me.

I know that she's 18, so it's technically legal, but it's like really fucking weird, right?

It's weird.

It's been six weeks, seeks since we

six weeks, and we haven't seen each other, but we left things more on a break than a breakup.

What do you think?

Is sexting cheating?

Would it be different if she wasn't fucking 18 years old?

I sometimes think that if she were older, I wouldn't be as mad.

Do I stay or do I go on on

the fucking out?

Get the fuck out of his face.

I mean, all of the elements of this are concerning.

Sexting is 100% cheating.

There's a difference between like flirty rapport that could be concerning and just like blatant sexting.

Like, I want to put my penis in your vagina.

Like, that is totally cheating.

There's no doubt in my mind.

And yes, the age is concerning.

I understand that it is like technically legal, but it's still fucking weird.

It's beyond weird.

Also, so he has this addiction to sexting.

So it's like he can't help it and it's just who he is.

So what he's going to be doing doing this for the rest of his life, he's going to be 50 years old, sexting 18-year-olds on the internet.

He's going to get himself

on Nightline.

Like, you do not want to be associated with this person.

He needs to correct himself.

Catch a predator.

Like, just because you like doing something and you're addicted to it, doesn't mean that you can't stop doing it or that you shouldn't stop doing it.

Like, he needs to learn at some point in his life.

If he cares enough about your relationship, now will be the time where he like realizes the error of his ways.

And that's on you to forgive him and see if you can move past it.

But like, if he's going with this bullshit, it's like, I need it to live.

Oh, God.

What?

Also,

the fact that it was covered up so well, because you said like the relationship was perfect before, means like he's a very good liar.

And you just don't want to be with someone who is, has so much experience and is so good at covering things up and hiding parts of their lives, because that's not what a true relationship is built on.

So I'm really sorry, but this break is, is, must be a breakup.

This, he's, yeah, no.

But sometimes, like, obviously to me, I'm like, this is so obvious, like, get the fuck out of there.

But when you're so in it, sometimes you can't see out of it in your own situation.

when the person that you're talking to is like normalizing it and being like look i know that it's weird trust me i know they're gaslighting you know what like this is who i am and they know they're kind of like trying to say face and trying to coax you into bringing that bringing you into their bucket of weird with them and we're here to tell you that no get out of the bucket because it's weird get out of the bucket it's really fucking weird thank you for writing and i hope i hope you got some clarity from that i feel like that was actually good advice yeah um next up hijacking claudia first i want to to say I loved the special.

It was truly everything and more.

Thank you guys.

My comedy special is available on iTunes, Apple TV, and so many other platforms.

It's called Disgrace Queen.

I hope you enjoy it.

I just need advice on what to do.

My cousin hooked up with my best friend's boyfriend.

I'm super close with my cousin, and our family dynamic is definitely ride or die.

I don't know if I should tell my friend or not.

My friend is like a sister to me and was there for me when my grandpa died and has always had my back.

I don't want to throw my cousin under the bus, but I feel like my friend deserves to know.

Thanks in advance from a stressed out toaster.

I mean, that's horrible, especially you're talking to two girls who are like family over everything.

And part of me

wants to tell you just to stay out of it.

But like having those types of secrets, like those types of,

those are the things that like eat you up inside, you know?

Yeah.

So

I think I have a plan because you can't rat on your cousin.

You just can't be the snitch, but your best friend does need to know if her man.

And also, what sort of relationship is this?

Like, are they going to get engaged soon?

Do you think they'll get married?

Like, she needs to know.

You need to catch him in the act.

If he's a cheater, he'll cheat again.

And so you need to find the next person or the person before that he cheated with and tell your friend about that person, not about the cousin.

Or you can go directly to the source and tell the boyfriend I know, and I'm going to tell, but I'm going to give you the opportunity to do it and just hope he does it first.

Like snitching, and it will the boyfriend is then going to tell her, Oh, I hooked up with so-and-so's cousin.

And then she's going to say, Wait, why didn't you tell me that it was your cousin?

And then the cousin's going to be like, Wait, why'd you get in the middle here?

So you have to find someone else to pin it on.

You know what?

Sorry, I changed my mind.

I have such a better piece of advice.

I'm not going to get the hell out of it.

No, definitely not.

Jersey Shore right in the letter write a letter dear Sam when you went to bed Ron put his head between a cocktail waitress's breasts it's perfect yeah Jaywa walked so you could run some it'll work out really well just like it did in the Jersey Shore it did work out well because you want to but you know what

this is where like cheating gets dicey because some girls like don't want to know and that was like Sam it's like everything in that letter was true but like she was more fixated on who wrote it than what was actually detailed in the letter where it's like your boyfriend just cheated on you shouldn't you be mad at him instead of trying to figure out which girl in the house like tried to help you so you know i feel like reporting incidents of infidelity is a is a fruitless act like it's just it's a thankless job it is it somehow becomes your fault when you're just trying to do the right thing and toe the line between being a good friend and a good cousin and a good humanitarian and being able to sleep with yourself at night it is a thankless fucking job Yeah, you're really just trying to be a good humanitarian.

Yeah, and just do what's right.

And people make it so difficult for you.

And I feel for you, girlfriend.

So, again, I don't know where we landed here.

My advice is to try to find someone else to pin it on.

You might have to wait a little bit.

But if he is a cheater, maybe, because maybe like if the cousin was just the one time and there was a mistake and he's not going to do it again, maybe she doesn't need to know.

But if he's a cheater, she needs to know.

And so you can find another instance to share with her.

Well, I have another,

I have another question.

The cousin, did she know that this guy wasn't single?

Like, did she know that this was her cousin's best friend's boyfriend?

I'm going to say she didn't make it clear, but I'm going to say yes, because she's close with her cousin Her cousin's close with the best friend and so people have a way of knowing each other

now

Okay, I guess so then the girl the cousin just being upfront with the friend is not an option, right?

No, because she's I don't think she's interested in that she the cousin clearly she's like

This is not my relationship.

I don't want to get me out of here for sure.

Okay, well I get that too.

I hope we've given you something to think about

Next up final one.

Sorry, I can't speak.

Hi, Jackie and Claudia.

Love you gals.

Thanks for keeping me entertained during quarantine.

Anyways, I'd love your input on this situation.

I have a best friend who I love so much, but when we go out to drink, specifically travel and go on group vacations, she turns into the exorcist.

I've known her since we were kids, and we relatively have the same large friend group that's been together since we were teens.

That sounds so fun.

So we're constantly doing activities in groups.

Now we're in our 20s, and 90% of the time when she's drinking a lot, she takes a turn and fucking loses her mind and embarrasses herself and then never wants to talk about it again when someone brings it up.

Our friends now think this is a normal trait of hers and we all talk about it separately.

When I tell you she loses her mind, she will just start yelling and trying to pick a fight with anyone inside and looks nuts.

For reference, she turns into Kelly Bensimone when she was on Scary Island in Real Housewives of New York.

Honestly, it's very entertaining, but I feel bad and I don't know how to dress it.

I've tried talking to her before, telling her not to drink as much, but that didn't work.

Anyways, love you gals.

You're so skinny, smart, and beautiful.

XOXO, girl who needs to give her friend an exorcism.

Oh, this is why I don't have friends, y'all.

Like, it's just not worth a burden.

Well, clearly, you're a fabulous friend if you're saying we're skinny, smart, and beautiful.

Um, so you're not in the wrong, clearly.

Clearly, you obviously have like a really good head on your shoulders because you see me for the beautiful woman that I am.

And you obviously, no matter what advice we give you, like, you're going to do the right thing and everything's going to work out great because you are have a great head on your shoulders.

Yeah.

Um, this is really tough because it's like clearly your friend and alcohol do not mix well.

She needs to stop drinking, period.

Period.

It is not on any person to be responsible for getting someone else sober, especially when that person isn't asking for help, isn't looking for help, doesn't think there's a problem, not accepting help at this current junction in time.

I think, unfortunately, she is just going to have to learn this the hard way.

And I think

the only way that maybe you could have an impact on her is like when these things happen, if she starts to feel like the consequences of her actions, like sometimes someone says something when they're drunk, and it's something you would ordinarily get mad at, but you you forgive it because they're drunk and they didn't mean it.

They don't even really have to apologize because we're all just going to move on.

But if she starts waking up the next day and it's like those issues are still there.

Right.

And she has to start to deal with some of her drunk actions and her drunk self, she might not be so

capricious about drinking the way that she does.

Right.

And it's clear that she has no self-awareness.

So I feel like it's on you guys to make her aware of herself.

And to be honest, I feel like, like you said, some people need to learn the hard way.

And And if she wakes up thinking that's that nothing's wrong, like make her think that's like, stop inviting her.

Like, like, make there be like tangible consequences for her actions.

And maybe that'll open her up to be like, wow, I'm annoying.

Like, people don't like to hang out with me when I'm drunk.

Like, maybe I need to change something.

The fact that like she goes on these tirades and doesn't wake up with a pit, like, I just personally can't relate.

Can't relate on any sort of human level.

The only thing that can really stop and make you think about like your drinking habits is that pit and the way you feel the next day.

And like, like just feeling like I would do anything not to feel this way or to take back what I said and if you don't have that then of course you're never gonna stop like so It's up to you to place that pit in her stomach.

I know but then you know at the end of the day like this is where I always land with our dear toasters It's like, you know, you're in your late 20s you're an independent woman like Other people's problems like sometimes it's just not your fucking problem.

She's making it her problem.

Right.

But you have to stop inviting her.

I think that's the solution.

I think that is the solution too.

Just be like last time on the trip, like you said to Jenny, X, Y, and Z, and we just can't have that sort of energy when we're all drinking and we're all trying to have a good time.

Right.

Just come up with like a list of things that she's done.

And I think she'll start to take it seriously.

But when there aren't consequences for your actions, how are you even supposed to know that you messed up?

Or that you're doing something wrong?

And if she's getting as drunk as you say she is, she probably doesn't even remember.

Yeah.

So it's on you to paint a picture for her.

She probably thinks like we're all cool with it.

Like everyone's getting drunk.

We're all just forgiving the next thing.

Everyone's being as crazy as me.

Yeah.

I just like, what must it be like to like drink,

be insane, and not have a pit about it in the morning?

That is a level of insanity I cannot even relate to.

I can't relate.

No, I wouldn't.

Honestly, like, I'm jealous.

You know, I live to be that carefree and obnoxious.

I'm not jealous because now I know, like, because of that pit that I have and that self-awareness, like, my friends aren't writing into a podcast asking, how do we get me to stop drinking?

No, like, this girl's desperate.

Like, she, like, she needs help.

And.

I just think you really need to start like making it more obvious that you're all annoyed with her, that she's doing things that are unacceptable and that there should be consequences.

And then you're also hurt by her actions because what kind of friend would want to hurt another friend?

Like, it seems like during the regular daytime sobriety, she's a good friend, and she's, she knows what's up.

So, I think trying to talk to that person and trying to make that person understand

what this person did could be helpful.

Agreed.

Hope that was helpful for you.
