It's Jackson, Claude, and we're your favorite show. The best five things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly. It's The Toast. They sound amazing. Welcome back to The Toast and happy Tuesday. I hope everybody's having a pargy Tuesday. And yeah. And I choose to have a pargy day as well. The thing about living a pargy life is that it's a conscious choice. It is. But I take most things that are beautiful.
It's a choice. I'm going to butcher this quote I heard on TikTok. But it was all about how, like, in life, you could be the thermometer or the thermostat. Like, you could tell people your temperature or you could, like, you could set the temperature or you could just, like, let other people tell you how hot you are. You know what I mean? Like, something like that. Like, you could create the environment or you could just be subject to it. Correct. I like that. I liked it, too. So we are setting the temperature. We are the temperature. We're the thermostat. But aren't thermostat and thermometer the same thing? Same thing. No, and, like, we're the temperature. No, sorry. Thermometer just tells you what temperature it is. That's not us. We're the thermostat, bitch. We set the temperature. Correct. And then the swirlitude is the temperature? Yes.
So it is swirly degrees outside today. That's definitely true. Yeah. For a swirly summer. Be the thermostat, not the thermometer. That's actually really cute. I know. I just wish that thermometer and thermostat weren't so similar and confusing. Dude, I don't even call it the thermostat. What do I call it? That thing right there. I just say, can you turn that down? Well, you guys know my personal trigger. If you want to see the worst side of me ever is being hot. It's not even being hungry. It's being hot. So I'm probably like, get that nasty rat fuck over here. That's what I call it. Can you turn the air down? Can you turn the air up? That's really all I said. The AC, yeah. The AC. I call it the AC. Yeah.
Be the AC. I didn't even realize that it's called the thermostat. So old school. And that's different from a thermometer. But also, I feel like these new age, like, Nest digital, that ain't a thermostat. That's a computer, okay? Be the Nest. But yes, if you have, like, an old school, like, Honeywell, like, that's a thermostat. Yeah, be the Nest. Be the Nest. That's beautiful. That really is. Well, it's an exciting day. It is. It's Tuesday. We're not seeing the Odyssey. I keep forgetting. I have to go to fantago.org. It might be too late for you to get a refund. Same day. Same day. You don't think they'll let me just switch to, like, a different day? Sincere says same day. Sincere says no. Sincere says same day.
Survey says? Oh, you might be able to exchange. Like, I'm not trying to return. I'm trying to exchange. Okay. I wake up every morning. I'm like, today's the day I'm going to refund on my Fandango. But I didn't do it. That's a classic thing. Do you hear that? There's band practice going on somewhere here. Oh, there's live music. You guys probably can't hear it. But let me tell you, it's like swing music. I feel like we're at a wedding. We're at like cocktail hour. Yeah. I wonder if that's going to stop. I hope you guys can hear it.
I hope you guys could hear it when we were dancing and then, like, actually can hear it because we have a show to do. We do have a show to do. And it's Tuesday, which means we have to your toasters. It also means there are stories. It also means that my big episode of Storytime with the Second Lady is coming out today. Secret Project Reveal. Secret Project Reveal. One of many. But back in June, actually, I can kind of close the loop on something because that was the day I said, I'm taking a Cojourna Fred today. And you also, did you miss the show that day? I missed the show the next day. And who was it, Ben? Ben. And I never, like, followed up on the Cojourna Fred I was taking. I was, like, pleased that people weren't impressing me. But then, of course, it was a little hurtful that people weren't more curious where I was. But I do, like,
And it was a Nick game. So like we were so happy to have Ben. Yeah. And I do want to. Like, be able to just, like, have a day if I need a day without explanation. Of course. But I'm so glad that I got to close the loop and let you know that that cojourn of read was to Washington, D.C. And I was on the Second Lady, Mrs. Vance's children's podcast. She has a podcast called Storytime with the Second Lady. It is a reading of children's books with prominent people, such as myself. And she asked me to come on to talk about The Camber and The Counselor. And, you guys, it was the honor of a lifetime. I'm personally thrilled that childhood illiteracy is pretty much solved now. Yeah. So thank you for doing that. It's a huge issue. Well, it's not yet because it comes out, like, today. Oh, right, right. So we haven't solved it yet. So I'm looking forward to childhood illiteracy just kind of being a thing of the past and completely eradicated.
I didn't know that was going to happen. It's one step closer. One small step for children. Yes. One giant leap for children's literacy. For children kind. So the podcast is meant for kids. So if you have kids, you can play it for them. It's on YouTube and it's a video. And it's so cute. We do a reading of The Camper and Counselor. We talk about, you know, some of the themes, some of our summer faves. And it's just really, really cute for the kids. And it was so cool. I actually vlogged while I went on my co-journified. I also vlogged, like, my journey to finding an outfit. So challenging. Six months postpartum. So challenging. Like, not for the faint of heart. No, you looked great. I saw, like, I saw the episode. I got it earlier. Yeah, we got it. It's so cute. And so the vlog will go up today. And it takes you a little bit behind the scenes of, like, what I was doing, how it went. The West Wing.
West Wing. I have, like, a lot of photos that I need to share. Did you put some, like, patriotic music? Of course. Over the blog? Over my... What's it called when you get a continental... Breakfast? Not a continental... Like, the one with eggs.
What? Because like continental breakfast does not include eggs. Did you know that? Continental breakfast is just like hotel breakfast. I know. Well, I, it's actually a funny story because I stayed at a hotel. So the morning I was like, I wanted my eggs and my coffee and I ordered a continental breakfast with a coffee. No, continental breakfast is probably like a pastry basket, right? Yeah. And like fruit and there were no eggs. Heaven. And I had to like call it and request eggs. So was it just on the menu that said continental breakfast? No, I just like assumed, I assumed and I made an arse. And you know what happens when you assume. You make an arse out of you and me. And so what is it actually called when you want like the full breakfast? Oh, it's hide like the eggs, please. No, but I want eggs and toast and fruit. I want. You have to order eggs. Like eggs is an entree.
It's not part of like a larger breakfast motif. No, I think that the art of hotel breakfast is completely lost. It might be like called a Western breakfast. You have to order the eggs. I think there's another fancy. Or you have to go down to the buffet. I love breakfast buffet. I was getting my hair and makeup done. I love breakfast buffet. Like at a hotel. Such a special time.
But why? You don't even like breakfast. Oh my god, no. It's just like, first of all, everyone's in a good mood because we're all on vacation. And there's waffles and pancakes and fruit. I like that. Bagels. And it's just like, it's all very exciting that you can eat whatever you want, you know? I don't get a lot of a phase in my day-to-day. It's very much a vacation thing. I'm sorry for that. Also, I see that you're supporting mine better with your futuristic sweatshirt. I guess I am, yes. Me and Ralph Lauren. So cute. God bless America. Do they have any singing podcasts? Right, they should have a podcast for iconic American songs. Stand beside her and guide her with the light from the night.
What's above? Through the night. This is so Hannah Montana when she messes up the anthem. Yeah. From the mountains to the prairies to the ocean wide without. I should have sang that with Mass Singer. Like they had a patriotic night. So where can everybody watch it? It will be on YouTube. I'll share the links on my story so like get ready and just Cameron Counselor. Our camper is thriving. TCATC. Also what's so funny is the other night we went to dinner at the restaurant where you got the call. Oh my god. We went to dinner at the restaurant where Claudia got the call that she.
was offered to be on Mass Singer. Yeah, last summer. We all remember where we were. We remember the table. We obviously couldn't sit at the same table. Of course not. I saw a family, like a lovely family with children going to sit there and I said something bad about that too. No, I was like, don't sit there. You might get the opportunity of a lifetime. That you like should turn down. Yeah, I haven't been there this summer, but last summer when we were there, we were all eating and Ben starts filming me and then my agent's calling me and I'm like, what is going on? Like, I was so confused. And I just remember like when he told me, he's like, you're going to be on the next season on Mass Singer. And I was like, no, I'm not because I'm not doing that. And like, that was such a lesson in like listening to your gut. I was very triggered at the restaurant, but thankfully I had some chicken fingers and I felt better.
Yes, yes. Now we can create new memories. Yeah, of course. We did. We had such a good time. Yeah, we did. The corn chowder. Haha, so many jokes about Ben's diarrhea. Yeah, yeah. Like Ben, eating corn chowder is insane. Yeah. Corn chowder as a dish is insane. But it's the one-year anniversary of you accepting the Mass Singer. Well, I shouldn't accept it until like a month later. But yes, it's the one-year anniversary of that Cajuna Fred beginning. Yes. It's crazy how much happens in a year. It is. You did the Mass Singer. Literally. Sort of. I went to the White House. Literally. Like we're both like groundbreaking journeys that we're on. The toast takes Washington. And Hollywood.
As we always do. As we always do. Oh, and we recorded the Red Heads yesterday. Great episode. So excited for everyone to hear it. The gals were online. When does it come out? Thursday. So I guess I'm just like podcast, podcast, podcast. Major fixture in the literary world per usual. And that's the latest. Like so many podcasts this week for me. Vlog. Another vlog. It's pretty much like Vlogmas. It is. Every day in the absence is Vlogmas for us. It's true. Vlogmas. So my vlog is coming out today and that was a really fun one. I'll take you a little bit behind the scenes. I also like did some things. Like I went somewhere in D.C. Okay. Like I went out. Do you remember where I went? No. Let me think. Hold on.
You went, like what, to like the Washington Monument? No, no, no. Lincoln Memorial? No, I went to the congressional baseball game. I'm cracking up. Like, seriously, you're so funny. I forgot about the baseball game. Yeah, I got invited like on my way to the airport, so like I didn't have anything to wear, but I felt like I had to go. It's like, you know, it's a cool thing that they do. So what, it's like the Democrats play the Republicans? Exactly, the congressmen. Democrat Republicans play the Republican Congress people. That's really cute. Democrat Republicans, as I said. And then like everyone in the stands wears red or blue. So cute. And it's just like a funny thing. I wore pink. That feels right. I'm in the swirly party. A thousand percent, the cocktail party. That's really cute. And who won?
You didn't say long enough? I think I heard the Republicans, like, have been winning the last few years straight. Well, that's nice. Happy for all the players. Yeah. Did you see Luke Holmes is in the UK? No, but he's big there. He's huge. He did, like, three, I think, like, record-breaking shows at one of the big stadiums. Oh, two? Wembley. Wembley. Like, huge. Wembley's huge. Yeah, and I thought, I saw he brought Nico out for one of, like, the shotguns. He also brought Niall Horan. Oh, cool. And Thomas Rhett. Like, so cute. Yeah. It's always weird, like, when country goes big in... Well, actually, it's so crazy because I didn't choose this as a story because I could just, like, hear you guys making fun of me for choosing it. Why? I thought it's a good story about the top five songs. Yes, but the conversation
organically gone there, so I think I should let you guys know that country has taken all five slots in the Billboard Hot 100s for the first time in charts history. That's so cute. Like, first of all, that's never happened. And it's, you know, obviously, not to make everything about us, but it does feel good to sort of have your music choices validated when you just get told all the time, like, country music songs. And Ella Langley, Morgan Wallen. It's funny, Taylor Swift is on there with her Toy Story song, which I guess is country, but she's not really a country artist. Who are the others? Stella Lefty, Boston. Oh, you know what? I have something to say about Stella Lefty.
Do you know about her? I do know. You're not going to say something negative. No. She's a generational talent. No, she's so cute. And I've been watching her whole rise on TikTok. Her music is so good. She happens to have a very wealthy father. I think her father started Groupon. There's a net worth of roughly six billion. Yeah, people can't get over the fact. And they assume that all of her success is because she has a billionaire dad. I do understand why people might think that if you're not paying attention. But I've watched the whole thing. It's super organic. And she definitely has an advantage with knowing how to get an agent. Once you're eligible, you can just get an agent. You have to have something. But I love to talk about our competitors over at the New York Times and Poplicast or whatever it's called.
And this is why you really should not have, like, two grown men talking about pop culture. Because I just saw one of their clips talking about Still Lefty. It was genuinely, like, one of the most misogynistic clips I'd ever seen in my life. And I'm not even, like, sensitive to misogyny. Like, it was so... You are a misogynist. Yeah, I like to consider myself a misogynist. They were just talking about this, like, young girl who's really just, like, bootstrapping. And, yeah, okay, her dad's a billionaire. Like, sure. But, like, if you're watching, she's just talented. She writes her own music. She's a great voice. She's utilizing social media. No, like, your billionaire dad, like, can't make you a successful pop star with a top five song on the Billboard charts. Like, they can't do that. No, it can't. And so, like, if you're watching, she's really,
Her social media marketing is insane. It seems to be all her. Like, I don't know, this clip was just so derogatory. I couldn't get over it. It was just like, are we going to talk about, like, Stella? Like, it was just, and she's like. But what were they saying? She's like, oh, were you going to talk about that? Like, it was so loose. We had these two, like, old-ass grown men talking about, like, a 19-year-old. It was, I'll have to find the clip. I'll post it on my Instagram. I was just like, oh, the toast would never. No. I just think it's, like, a cool fun fact, and I don't really think it has anything to do with her. I don't either. We were talking about it, and we were like, really, like, him starting Groupon, like, doesn't really give him pull in the music world. It's just nice for her that when she wanted to
being a billionaire and it's like we're just very sensitive like people are very sensitive to billionaires right now it's like a tough time to be a billionaire they're facing a lot of discrimination that's why i'm not one oh um i'm not one for other reasons and if that were me i wouldn't let the discrimination get me down i'd just wipe my tears with my money you'd be a courageous billionaire absolutely i would be a billionaire who in the face of adversity like never falters in her well pride yeah that's just a little bit about me yeah yeah people don't like the b word no We did a toaster today, so I personally am.

Thank you, clear turt. You're welcome. I feel very clear. Turt. Clean and clear. And under control. And under turt. Beautiful. Our first story, obligatory mention. I feel like I'm walking right into a trap. Pete Davidson spotted on a date with Sarah Jane Nader from Hulu's Love Thy Nader series. So here's why I feel like I'm walking into a trap. Because she's gay? One, I know you hate this.
you don't care about who he's dating. I don't. Like Pete Davidson's dating life stories to me are like bottom of the barrel podcast. I think as a podcast we're just better than that. But of course. Nader happenings are important news here. But then the story came out like through Dumois last night. They posted a video of the two of them like getting into a car saying they saw them out last night together in Brooklyn. And I just feel like it was Grace Ann and Brooks recording her like getting in the car with Pete. Oh my God. Send it to Dumois. Like they're just like starting stuff. Well Brooks is in LA. It's Grace Ann. It's by the way 1000% Grace Ann. Because we all watch Love That Nader. We saw like the whole journey of Sarah Nader like coming out. She's a lesbian. First of all. She's bisexual. Oh.
Never mind. Are you sure? Yeah. On season one, she revealed that she's bisexual and she started dating someone named Alexis Williams. Is that the girl from the show? No. Totally take that back. My bad. It was the girl that she used just to bring home to her family and see how they reacted. Oh, yeah. She used that girl big time. Usery. That was a painful storyline. That was usery. I just, okay. So I thought for, I thought she was just like straight lesbian and that made this like really PR. So I guess like they could be dating. Yeah, no. They definitely went on a date. If you have an infant, like what are you going to first date for? Like go home. I'm such a Pete Davidson hater. Like I really believe the deadbeat allegations. But I think he was also like acting really weird. So I'm kind of like taking, but I could see, like, I don't know. The stage photos of him and up at Baby Vista like in the park. I'm
Go home. I really had enough of Pete Davidson. Yeah, we actually, in the book that we just read, do you think you'll read it? No. Okay, because one of the storylines is this couple who like always, they weren't a couple, they're friends. They're in a big friend group and two of them like always hooked up throughout the years. They're like maybe in their late 20s, early 30s. And he starts dating a new girl who like came to town and they're like perfect for each other, really. And then the girl he used to hook up with, sometimes the friend, turns out she's pregnant. And she doesn't want to be with him. She like wants to do it on her own and they go through the whole pregnancy and really, and he stays with his like new girl. And then when like the girl's pregnant, when she finally gives birth, it's like really hard for him to be in a new relationship when he has a new baby because he wants to be there every night, wants to be there every day.
She feels so lonely. And they wind up breaking up because he's like, I want to be with the baby. And that means, like, being with her at her house. And, like, I can't be here with you. And so, eventually, like, it gets to a place where, like, you can have, you know, a life outside of a baby. But, like, with a newborn baby, you just can't. So, like, why are you going on a first date, second date? No, I totally agree. Like, there's a time and a place to have a boyfriend or a girlfriend or go on a first date. And having, like, the newborn phase ain't it. No. It ain't motherfucking it. Like, unless you're a single mom and somebody, like, comes in and, like, wants to co-parent with you. Like, sure. But this is not that. I think this is so weird.
Like, I get why Sarah Jane Nader is, like, doing what she has to do. Like, one thing about the Nader sisters, like, they will be famous. Like, whether you like it or not. Like, they work so hard to maintain their celebrity. And, like, Brooks is obviously, like, doing the most. But the other girls are, like, always with their campaigns and paparazzi. Like, so, this is that. This is that. They get dressed to the nines. They always look great. Yeah. Their place looks great. It always does. This is that. This is that. This is an easy way to generate a headline. And I just know, like, Grace Ann is snickering behind that camera. It's 1,000%. So, that's why I feel, like, I feel used. Like, that girl who went to Louisiana. Yeah. That girl who went to Louisiana with Sarah Jane was, like, really painful. Grace Ann took that video, posted it to watch, like, generate a headline for Sarah
Her and whoever Pete dates gets pressed. Of course, of course. And I am talking about it because I walked into a trap. You did walk into a trap, although we did need to talk about it. And I'm actually glad because I thought really low of Pete before, but I didn't think low of Sarah Jane. And I was like, well, you're a lesbian and this is obviously fake. But I didn't realize she was bisexual. So I'm glad we talked about that just so I could have cleared that up for myself. Yeah. I don't think this is a great love. I don't think it's a great like even. No, it's a joke. Like for real. It is a joke. And ha ha ha. Yeah. And I think Pete was used too, which doesn't bother me. I think Pete actually gets used a lot by like different celebrities. That's like probably a hang up of his. He talks about therapy.
Has to be a bad guy. Oh, I can't stand him. Yeah. I've turned into such a hater. And I'm proud to say, I was never, like, one of, because people were obsessed with him. Big dick energy. Like, when he was doing Kim. Like, everyone was just obsessed with him. I never was. I liked him and Kim together, but I never thought he was hot. I'm so glad I never changed my mind on that. Because, like, I was able to slip into my hater era very, very easily. I didn't have to do a lot of, like, self-work to get there. That's good. Yeah. That's good. So, there you go. They wanted us to talk about it, and we did. Great. Our next story. Aaron Rodgers is subtly shading his brother Jordan after reconciling with his parents. What? Yes. So.
Is it on the Pat McAfee show? No, actually, it was on the Pat McAfee show. He was on Pat McAfee ranting, I think, the other day. And that's where he came for Travis. But what is this? What does he say about Travis?
He called him Mr. Pfizer, remember? Oh, that's... Okay, sorry. I thought you meant came for Travis this week. No, no, no, no. Anytime we're talking about it, that's where he goes to say crazy stuff. Yeah. So you're saying he said this elsewhere? He said this to the athletic. Very different. Very different. So he addressed reconciling with his parents, explaining that they managed to keep the details of their feud under wraps while other unnamed family members publicly aired the dirty laundry. That is true. He said, I've been really staunch going back to when there was a schism that I feel like stuff should be off limits. Now, not everybody in the family adhered to the same thing. He's alluding to when Jordan went on The Bachelorette and told viewers about their estrangement. He said, but there are different things, situations, experiences, and people that actually change your life. He shied away from saying Jordan's name.
But obviously made it clear that they're still not reunited. When an entire family is close and one person is not, I'm always going to side with the family. So I do think in the great schism of the Rogers family, Aaron was definitely wrong because everyone's close and you're not. You're wrong. But I do agree with him that he can reconcile with everyone. But I think the thing that even with family you don't talk to, there's still an unspoken rule. We would never tell anyone. And the fact that Jordan went on TV and publicized it really is so trashy and gross. I can see why Aaron, who's clearly crazy, is not over it. Yeah.
that is like no matter what happened in the family and we don't know they haven't really shared like what the actual estrangement was caused by but no matter what it is like you just don't tell people like I'm of that from that I'm sure the estrangement was caused more so by like vibes and dynamics and a little bit of jealousy and money and celebrity and like things that like you can't really verbalize but also like things that can heal over time but like what you can't undo is something like putting it on blast it's really true it's so low around Aaron Rodgers is like so principled to like his principles that like he'll never get it over and he's so like rigid that I just think when something's like done for him it's done yeah and so I'm inclined to take his family side overall, but with Jordan v. Aaron, I kind of agree with Aaron. Jackie, if you and I ever had a falling out, would I tell you the world would never know why? Even if you did the worst thing ever to me. No, no, not never know why, but never know.
Well, they could figure it out. Maybe we stop liking each other's posts or whatever. But I would never confirm it and they would never know why. But we still don't know why with Jordan and Aaron, just to say. That's true. What did they say on The Bachelor? This is what he said. Me and Aaron don't really have that much of a relationship. It's just kind of the way he's chosen to do life. And I've chosen to stay close with my family and my parents and my brother. Yeah, it's not ideal and I love him. I can't imagine what it's like to be in his shoes and have the pressure he has, the demands from people that he has. I don't have hard feelings against him. It's just how things are right now. Then when they went to the hometowns and Jojo met Jordan's family, they left like two empty chairs at the dinner table. And then Aaron talked about that in his documentary. And he said they go.
on a bullshit show and leave two empty chairs, they all agree that this is a good thing to do, to leave two empty chairs at a stupid dating show that my brother just went on to get famous. His words, not mine. Yeah. Like, I stand with Aaron there. In Aaron B. Jordan, like... And so I'm just gonna press you because, like, the people who could do that... I know, I know. They all got into that. Like, maybe...
Maybe Aaron's not the wrong party. I don't know. Like, someone who just, like, you know, everybody these days is, like, no contact, whatever. And, like, the person who leaves their family is, like, the hero, according to, like, whenever I see people talking about it online. I'm just not like that. I'm not like that. I'm sorry I'm not. No, I'm not like that either. So I am inclined to, like, think the Rogerses are, like, decent people. But, yeah, like, going on TV and outing, like, your very famous brother and, like, embarrassing him. Like, yeah, like, I hate that. Like, I think that's disgusting. And also, like, we never expected Aaron Rogers to be on the hometown for The Bachelor. They could have just said Aaron's busy. He's in Wisconsin. Yeah.
Yeah. That's all they could have said. Yeah. No, it made it a huge thing, and it made them even more famous. When it does something that follows him to this day, I understand why he's pissed. Yeah, of course. And he's not someone who takes piss, being pissed lightly. No, no, he'll be pissed forever. But now they have a baby. I know, I know. Maybe it's time for healing. Uncle Aaron. Uncle Aaron. Are you ready for our next story? Mm-hmm. I hate to do it. You know I do, but the good guys have made the fast five. I feel like vomiting. Because Craig went on the good guys, and as you tease. I did. They disgust.
Craig and Kyle's reunion and them being friends now. So Ben asked him, so you and Kyle are friends? And Ben goes, you didn't tell me we're friends with Kyle? Craig goes, I forgot to call you. Although I will say, not to make everything about me, and thanks for not bringing this up, Craig did tell me the night before that he was seeing Kyle that next day. And I told Ben. We were together. I forget where we were. Oh, I think we were in L.A. So this is what Craig said. He said, I'm on this motivational side of TikTok, and I didn't realize that I only related forgiving people to those that I thought deserved forgiveness. And Kyle was the first person who was a huge challenge to me who I thought I'd never speak to again because I thought that there were things that happened that were unforgivable.
And so the next day he came to my store, like, during a pillow party and took pictures with the fans. And the joy that it brought the fans to see me and him not hate each other for some reason just triggered something in my head. I was like, wow, it didn't cost anything. I feel lighter. You could instantly see the reaction of people that support us. Now, I've seen a lot of reactions to Craig's statements here. And I think people don't really understand that, like, Craig is really emotional. Like, obviously we know him from TV, but, like, he's really like that in real life. And, like, he takes things very, like, personally and hard. And so, like, I could see him, like, yeah, being inspired by a TikTok to forgive his friend. Like, honestly. And it's in an earnest way, for real. Because I saw people in the comments being like, this is so, like, eye roll. And it's like, no, like, he's really. He's genuine. He
like this beautiful event in his store which he takes so much pride in his store and you know Kyle bringing all this joy to people I could see him like being deeply moved by that I really could yes and like inspired by the way that people feel about them do you ever have that where like you hate someone you're so mad at someone and like you feel like you'll never get over it and then like you're with them or around them and just something just like changes disappears and it lifts and it's like you do feel better and yeah like why can't we all get along yeah no but it's like before that at home like the idea is like it's impossible I would never forget this person it's just something in the air yes I do where it's just like you know what this is better than how it felt before to not yeah So I understand that. I do too. And you know, like, I like forgiveness. It's a beautiful thing. And healing. Yes. And then as Craig said, let's just hope nothing happens further. Correct. Yeah. I think that's fair. Yeah. Although I'm not really into like this whole like renaissance of Kyle Cook and like rewriting of his history. Like. Well, it's a separate, it could be a separate combo. Yeah. I'm just like, this also adds to it. Cause like, you know, Craig, who everyone loves is like endorsing Kyle now. And it's like, I just want to go out on a record and say like, I still think he's a bad guy. Yeah. There was a conversation a little bit about that in the city reunion. Good.
Someone like just acknowledges that almost like he should be thanking Amanda because he was about to be canceled. Absolutely. And he said something so stupid like God forbid I'd be a man and get divorced. Like the man is always going to get the hate on the side of a divorce. God forbid you curse out your wife and act like a degenerate for 10 years. Correct. God forbid that. Correct. So I'm not like loving that journey that everyone seems to be on of like amnesia. Like completely forgetting who Kyle Cook is and has been for 10 years. And I think that this only like furthers that narrative. But I'm happy for that. Yeah. And I guess like Ben has his own separate beef with Kyle. It's kind of like the same beef. It is the same but like he called Ben a liar. Yeah. He called them both liars. Yeah. But like Craig.
He's forgiven. Yeah. And, like, Ben is a forgiving guy. Well, I've said literally countless times, you can't forgive someone who hasn't apologized. And the window of us, like, because I keep saying if Kyle ever apologized, like, yeah, sure, I don't need to. But the window, the window's, like, pretty much closed. How long do you have to wait for an apology? Two years? I guess. So, you have about 30 days. Somebody remind me in 30 days that the window's over. Someone tell him he has 30 days to make amends. Sure.
Are you ready for our fourth story? I'm actually so excited about this. I just saw this this morning. There's a lot here. It's about the It Happened One Summer movie adaptation. It Happened One Summer. It's the best smut book of all time. It Happened One Summer is a book by Tessa Bailey. It's the best smut book of all time. Top three for sure. I think that for what Evelyn Hugo did for readers, It Happened One Summer did for smut. I think it's the first smut book a lot of people read.
Makes him obsessed with the category. Yes. It's an amazing, adorable book. It's an amazing, adorable book. And it was bought the rights to make a movie a while ago. And it just sort of sat there and I expected nothing was happening. But things are happening. Not only has another casting happened, but this casting has shown me who the other players are. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because there's another casting. Okay, so there's like the two sisters. Yes. Did you ever read the sisters sequel? No. It's sunk. No, Bridge Too Far. So we have Piper. And we've had our... Piper, that was her name. Piper is being played by Nina Dobrev. Oh, I hate that. Oh, no. That's so bad. It's not good. It's not the worst it could be. No, no. It is the worst. It's not great.
Also, not to be like a pedophile, but like it's like a porny type of thing. And I feel like she don't do porn. Like, oh, you're going to want to see some ass and titties. Yeah. And she don't do that, right? I don't know what she does. She doesn't do that. I don't know what she does. With respect, I want to say like tenfold. Yeah. So she is Piper. They've actually already started filming. Oh my God. I'm so upset. And then Tyler Hoechlin. Oh, you know what? We've had this conversation because I've seen this. Tyler Hoechlin is Brendan. Is Brendan. And I think that looks like a really bad photo. It does look like a bad photo, but like he's supposed to be like. He has Brendan Potench.
Yeah, he does, he does, he does. That picture on the bottom left. He's got to put on a few pounds, but he's supposed to be this like really sort of like rugged fisherman. I know that doesn't sound like much. Like an angry fisherman. But it's, that scene when she realizes that he's rich. It's the best book, sorry. It's the best book. I'm so upset. No, I know, because like the character of Piper, it's very akin to like,
What's the name of David Rose's sister? Alexis Rose. Alexis Rose. She's like this wealthy heiress who gets plopped out of her mansion and put to Seattle. Who gets cut off and sent to the Pacific Northwest. And she's like funny and ditzy but with so much heart. And it's very Alexis Rose. Yeah, this is such a bad casting. And Nina Dobrev doesn't have that energy. Not only does Nina Dobrev not have that energy. This is going to be mean and I'm not going to Nina Dobrev hate her at all. But she's just kind of like a fake actress. I know she was in the Vampire Diaries and I never saw that. But after that, everything she does is like a fake Hallmark movie. And I was hoping for more from this. Honestly, I would love to be wrong. And like please play this episode for me in a year when I'm like loving the show. I really think that this is such a bad casting. I'm so upset. Yeah. You know who would have been good
Oh my god, you're obsessed with her. I'm obsessed with her. Literally anyone. And yeah, a lot of people. Oh, and then like the reason that this news came out today is because Gavin Leatherwood will be playing Fox Thornton. That's the friend. That's the, who ends up being the romantic interest for the sister. Who gets his sequel. He's the Dean De Laurentiis. Okay, show me a picture. Gavin Thornton. And he's from something. Is it Gavin from, um, The Summer Turn Pretty? I know his name is Gavin. Sorry, Gavin Leatherwood. Let's see. Gavin Leatherwood. What a name. And where is the show going to be? Netflix. This is Gavin Leatherwood.
Do you know him? I don't think so. He looks like Darren Criss. I'm hating all of this, I just want to say. Like, so far, I have a zero hope. He was in Sex Lives of College Girls, yes. Oh, who was he? Who was he? Wait, wait, zoom in. Show me another picture of him. I will, I will. Hold on. We just have to figure out who he was from Sex Wives.
Nico. Oh, the brother. The mysterious brother. Oh, he's actually very cute. Yeah, and then he didn't come back for season two. Why didn't he come back? I don't know, but here you go. That's a picture of what he looks like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Acceptable. Acceptable. Yeah, I agree. Passes muster, but honestly, barely. There's like so many potential here, and this isn't like so exciting. No, it's not. But it is exciting that the movie will come. Oh, it's a movie. Yes. And they're already filming right now in New York City, so maybe she's like a city girl who gets cast out. Also fine. These types of books, I do feel are better suited for series than movies. Yeah, I guess so. A movie feels like weird. Yeah, I'm confirming that it's a movie, but.
It's all the same, honestly. No, but like a series, it's like, I don't know, movies just kind of go so quickly these days. Film adaptation. Film adaptation. Film. And you know, I think Netflix stinks at book adaptations. But also like this is your sign to read It Happened One Summer. It's so good. Before the movie ruins it. I feel like everyone listening has read it. I know. We have new listeners. I write a passage. Before the movie ruins the book, you should read it. Yeah. Maybe I won't even see it because I think back so fondly to that book. I agree.
And the main character, she's just so, she really is the whole book. Because the second book stinks because she's not in it. Like, she has this great, funny personality. She's really sweet, but, like, she's funny. And she's, like, a little mean. It's really good. Yeah, and, like, a little shallow, but so deep. Of course. And it takes her, of course, like, this great love to find that depth. And it's beautiful. Are you ready for our final story? Yeah. A little more relationship news, because Traders' Rob Roush has hard-launched his relationship with a glimpse into his Japan vacation with his girlfriend, Chloe Chen. Hearts are breaking everywhere. Yes. People, like, knew he had a girlfriend because he did say that at the reunion and just, like, no one listens. You know, and he, like, keeps saying it because he's, like, I don't want to share my relationship, but I want you guys to think I'm keeping a secret
It's kind of an inconvenient truth. Because they don't know her and he's not exploiting his relationship. But he did confirm it in a series of photos. They took a trip to Japan. They're very serious. Which is really nice. He's an interesting cat. He's very smart. Aside from winning traders, the way he just goes about his business. Agreed. He's very savvy. He's interesting to me. And smart enough to know not to air his personal life. Yes. And I think that for someone who came from Love Island, you do not see that a lot. No. You see the total opposite. Yeah. Just exploitation of every area of your life. Correct. If you actually want to protect something, you should keep it as private as you can. Of course.
So that was interesting. Yeah. And so this is just another reminder. Rob Roush does have a girlfriend. And I'm sorry. I know that's hard for a lot of people to hear. Yeah. And they seem really happy. And I think we can chip. But he's not giving us anything to even chip. No, he's just keep reminding. I'm not single. But this is a hard one. So maybe it's the beginning of more. No, but I like keep it yourself. Yeah, I agree. I will never dislike someone for keeping something personal to themselves. I think it's a sign of intelligence. I agree.

you ever want to write in we would love to hear from you deartoasters.gmail.com that's the email or head over to our website thetoastpodcast.com there's a little submission box totally anonymous you don't have to worry about any of that ready which one should i start oh hey spirlies this weekend i noticed something was off with my boyfriend i got on instagram later in the day and i saw that his friend got engaged this friend is a girl who's been friends with since college and they currently work together they work in finance and in a heavy drinking work culture so they're together all the time the whole weekend he was so miserable to be around and so snappy we've been together for almost five years we're talking about getting engaged But we haven't even looked at rings or anything. Am I wrong to be concerned at how weird he was being and think that it correlates to her engagement? Hell, I'm spiraling. Yeah. If it is, like, if he's, we don't know why he's in a mood. Like, it could be something else. But if he is in a mood because his friend got engaged, like, that's really weird. Yeah, and I would just bring up the engagement to him and see if he flinches. Because, like, yeah, we also could just be, like, making this up. Like, that's why he's upset. Then see how he reacts. But you could also, like, have a conversation if he seems to, like, have a poor reaction and be like, how does that make you feel? Like, you know. And I don't know how old you are, but, like, five years and, like, you haven't looked at rings yet. Like, I would start putting pressure. Oh, for sure. That's
I mean, I think it is. She says, we're talking about getting engaged, but have not looked at rings or anything. Yeah, you know, but like some people have different wants. So, if that's what you want. Yeah, some people have different wants, that's true. So, like, I'm just assuming, like, that she wants to be engaged. To be engaged in a timely manner. Yeah, I think like most women do. Not everyone, of course. It's okay if you don't. It's okay if you don't. Not everyone. But some of us do. So, if you're some of those people. Put pressure. You deadass, like, could be making this up. And for that, like, you need to move on. But it's also not a great idea to, like, put pressure when he's, like, in the mood. Right. And he's, like, pining over another girl. Question mark? Yeah, this sucks. You have to bring it up to him and just, like, study
because either like yes either like this man everyone's allowed to be in a mood it happens to me all the time but either like he's in love with another girl and then you're just what the girl who wasted five years like you kind of need to hop on this asap figure this out have you ever had a feeling about them before this like is there any history or weird behavior or text us just like anything do you know that they like hooked up in college like is there anything or you're just straight up pulling this out of thin air because sometimes like when you're someone's in a bad mood like sometimes there's no reason yeah like maybe some period you know like But sometimes there is a reason. If he is confirmed in a bad mood because she got engaged, like, you have a problem. Yeah, that's really weird. But that's not necessarily the case. And also, like, you could have a crush or whatever, but, like, to be, like, so upset for a few days. No, and, like, not be happy for your friend. No, no, but let's say, like, he, like, likes her a lot. To be so upset by someone's engagement, like, that it affects your mood for multiple days, like, you're in love with her. Like, it's not just a crush. Like, you love her, bro. Yeah. I kind of shit, but no, I'm kidding. I'm totally kidding. You have to find out. Yeah, but then you can tell her. Her fiance would be single. I love a little partner swap. Oh, very Shania Twain. I love that. Shania Twain's husband left for her for her best friend, and
There was someone else recently. I don't know. Can I look it up? I don't know if you'll be able to get, like, a succinct answer. What are famous celebrity spouse swaps like Shania Twain? The Shania one is really crazy. Yeah. I think each other will know what I'm saying. The Shania Twain is probably the most famous example of the spouse swap. And then, oh, Reba and Laura Stroud. Reba's ex-husband, Black Sock, later married Laura, who had been one of Reba's close friends. Reba did not marry Laura's ex, though. Yet. Not the same. Yet. Not the same. Only you can tell us, like, if you think this man, like, you might just be drama queen or you might be, like, dead on balls. Good luck with that.
Okay, I need to just wrap my head around this because... They had an investment that was doing really well. Right. And I think she wanted to be like, let's call it. Like, let's take it out. This money can continue to let me stay at home. And like, let's just take our W and leave. And he was like, no. Well, I'm glad they took out the money that they did along the way. Well, yeah, but they didn't really. Well, you know, she said bigger house. They pulled out over the little amounts. Yeah, thank God. But like, you had this good investment, but like, he still has a job. The investment doesn't pay your day-to-day bill. So it was like a nice thing. No, I'm with this girl. No, I'm sick over the loss of a million dollars. But like, how does it change your day-to-day right this minute if it was just sitting there? I don't think she's worried so much about like how her day-to-day is going to change. It's like,
marriage and like she wanted to take it out and she just got ignored. And look, she ended up being right. And if she ended up being wrong, like we wouldn't be talking about it. But like, honestly, you have to make your point because you lost a million dollars. Yeah. I'm sick for you. I am sick for you. It's a cardboard nightmare. And then like when you lose, when the investment goes to zero, like you still own those stocks, right? Yeah. So I'm thinking it's like an investment portfolio. And so yes, while the stocks are worth zero right now, it can always go up. Yeah. Or the company is worth zero. You technically don't like own nothing. You own the companies, right? Yeah. Something like that. Yeah. So not all is lost.
But if it was always like this nest egg like for the future and like we have this like pot of gold waiting for us that wouldn't have affected your day to day. No. So you should be okay. I think she's going to be like fine in terms of. You're just frustrated that you weren't listened to and you lost a million dollars. I mean that is frustrating.
But you had a million dollars to lose. No, that seems like it's your whole nest egg, like your savings and everything. I'm really sorry. That's terrible. I would obviously use this as a teachable moment because he wasn't listening to you regardless. And if things ended up going well, he'd be like, see. But the fact that it went wrong only sort of proves for the next time you should be listened to. So I would obviously lament over the million dollars but be secretly happy that you get to say you were right. You get to win the argument and hold it over him. Right. And hopefully this informs future decisions. Like that one time I didn't listen to Katie. Should we lost a million dollars? Maybe I should listen to Katie now. It was his investment? Their investment.
I don't understand. My husband has an investment that's very profitable. Yeah. I'm sorry. Your husband doesn't have anything. Like you all have stuff. No, you all do. But like it's.
It was initially, like, his. No. So if he wants to steer the ship on his investment. No. I'm sorry. Like, once you have kids, like, it becomes a joint decision. Of course. But, like, so say he doesn't want to sell the stock, and she does. We're at an impasse. We're at a standstill, yes. Like, who has more weight? Well, now you can say that you were right, and a big fat, I told you so. And that's a very small silver lining. All the things that she was saying at the end, she's, like, worried about she can't trust. She's feeling angry, undervalued, and, like, our partnership is a sham. That's drama. That's drama. Your partnership is not a sham. He did what he wanted to do, but now we're both hurting. And he took some out along the way. I hope it was a lot. I hope you have a gorgeous house, and just, like, live there, and I
But they weren't taking it out? No, they were. We pulled out money to help us build our life together. Okay. I'm really sorry. Like, obviously, this is... I feel like I've lost my life. I feel like throwing up for you. And I know that, like, is not what you want to hear. But just so you know, like... Listen, money's a social construct. Okay? I just am very glad that they've taken it out along the way. They didn't lose all of the money. Yeah, but I don't think they took out, like, a ton. I'm just, like, not getting that vibe. I just, like, tell myself they did.
All right. Third and final. Hey, Skitty Swirlies. I need advice on whether or not I should keep a secret from my husband. I think, while I'm almost positive, that he used the same cup I pee in to test my LH to clean his retainers. The other morning, I grabbed a plastic cup from this decorative set that we have. We never drink from them. Really only use them for arts and crafts and other non-drinking needs. I peed in it to test my LH, rinsed it out quickly with water, and then set it to the side to be washed that evening. Well, I clearly forgot. This morning, I washed it to the bathroom, and I noticed the cup has been moved over to his side of the sink and had his retainer cleaning solution in it. This is not the kind of cup we throw away in the dishwasher and sink. We're empty, too. My husband is a level 10 germaphobe. If he found out, I think he would throw up. Do you think I should tell
Pee is sterile. It's not a big deal. Yeah, although, obviously, don't tell him. Like, seriously, what doesn't kill him makes him stronger. And it will make him stronger. They, like, need to come up with a better solution. Like, I remember when I was, like, testing my LH for Foo, like, you wake up, you have to do it first thing in the morning. So if you're sitting on the toilet and you're like, wait, you can't get up. Like, it has to be your first pee. I literally, like, many times, I have this huge can of hairspray, big sexy hair, you know, the big red one. And I took the cap off and I just peed in the cap. Like, desperate times. Wow. Can I take the strip and put it in the water of the bowl? No. I, like, use a red Solo cup. Yeah, that you leave.
Yeah, swap it out here and there. So I used a red Solo cup that I would like rinse and leave. But then when I had like a housekeeper come once or twice, because she always threw it out. So like the day after, I didn't know. And I would be like, all right, time for the hairspray bottle. Yeah, you gotta keep a stack of Solo cups. Just like you keep a stack of, like with your strips. They need to come up with like a better. They need to come up with like a bowl that goes in your toilet that catches your pee that you can test it and just like put it into the bottom of the toilet. Yeah, now when you like would have a red cup, would you ever reuse it or no? Because I feel like I would reuse it for like many days. Yeah, I think I would reuse it. And you rinse it like with just hot water. Do you rinse it with soap? No, no, no, because I don't want the soap to contaminate. No, of course, of
don't tell him because you're fine and like sometimes it's like he's fine so there's nothing that he needs to know and we just make him sick so like why do you want me to try to hurt him and it's like you're just saying it's like alleviate your burden when it's like actually the nicest thing you could do for him is to carry the burden you should carry the burden and really it's not a big deal like seriously yeah today's segment is burden yourself really like you're trying to get pregnant like you can drink a little pee it's so fucking true you're gonna endure it god willing god willing be cracked open so true and your husband can't drink a little pee I don't think so grow up so true grow up thank you for writing in good luck on your journey good luck on your journey and thank you everybody who wrote in and shared their vulnerable truths with us it's something we never take for granted and we appreciate your openness more than you know And if you can update for us on how things turned out with our advice, you can send us an email with a little update just right in the subject line update. DearTrusters.gmats.com. Thank you for a beautiful show. How does a million dollars go to zero? Just disappear. Unless it was like a fraud, you know? Yeah. I'll be thinking about that one for a while. Some people still think about the guy who was collecting water. You should take your money out because this is a fraudulent thing. She would have said that. Even if the company starts to like go south.
A million to zero. That's not just like, oh, we had businesses down. A lot of people have deer choasters that stick with them forever. Like the guy who's collecting water in the basement or the girl whose husbands were sending pictures of them. For me, the million dollar loss will go down as something I'll lose sleepover. Yeah. I'm wishing you the best. Me too. I would like to know how much you took out over the years. Yeah, we need a bit of a financial report. Was it a million? Right. If you had earned a million on it and enjoyed a million, I could.
I would guess like 100,000. Like over the years you would take like 10,000, 20, like a house or I don't know. Here's more of the story. I'll watch it on American Greed.
