Good morning, millennials, and welcome back to the toast. Happy Hump day. Today's Hump day extravaganza is brought to you by Maidenform. Thank you, maidenform, for sponsoring today's episode. We are excited. It's Hump day. We've got lots to do. Final episode of the week. Sadness there comes in that, you know, emotional roller coaster again.

Every episode of the Toast is a roller coaster, an emotional one at that. We made such a hullabaloo yesterday about the fact that it was our last episode, even though right now was technically our last episode. So it's just giving lasty vibes.

You look gorgeous. That shade of pink is stunning on you.

Why, thank you so much.

Whoever said orange was a new pink was seriously disturbed.

We are both wearing the pale pink crew neck set, but we styled it differently from each other, which is so different for us because we're so sympathetic.

Are you a Jackson or a turtie? Are you wearing a crew neck with leggings? Are you wearing the whole set?

Whole set. Maybe a little tie around the shoulders.

Because it is a little string of pearls.

A string of pearls. It is a little warm in here.

It is a little warm in here. And it's not just Bruno, you know?

No, it's turdy.

Too turdy. Jackson Brew. Final episode of the Wonderful. I don't even know what to call it. Sabbatical? Well, no, you don't work on sabbatical. I've been working so fucking hard. Kind of like a company offsite.

Company offsite destination toast.

But you're home. It's not a destination.

That's true. Toast. Down south.

Something tds, something like that. Final episode is today. I don't want to harp too much on the negative, but I just want to say it's been amazing. I have loved being here. I love you. I love Brew. I love your whole family. I love my whole family. And it's a devastating loss.

It is. And there are so many things I'm going to miss about this special time that we've had together.

What will you miss most?

Well, something that I'm going to miss. I'm not going to say miss most because obviously I'm going to miss you most. Just the fabulosity of being together, of having lunch together. What are we doing today? Even though Tesla. When I'm looking on the bright side, I look forward to getting back to full productivity because I feel like a lot of the things that I usually do during the day are falling by the wayside and have to do them at night. And so I'm just like, I haven't checked my email and Lord knows how long. So looking forward to that. Something that I'm going to miss, in addition to you, who I love so much, is Bruno, because Bruno never joins the show, but he only joined because of you.

Let's see how he acts moving forward.

I'll hold out hope that he still wants to podcast with me. Right now, he's just sitting by the lights. It must be really warm and toasty there.

That's interesting. I thought you were going to say, I'm going to miss all the laughter. I thought you were going to say something nice about me.

No, that's why at first, that, of course I'm going to miss you the most.

But just, like, what about me? Will you miss? What about my presence? I'm just curious, what do you think I've added that you will miss, like, a value?

Well, I mean, where do I begin? For the show or for my whole life?

Anything?

It's easier to say for my whole life because the show is fabulous no matter where we do it. Just positivity. Like, just such a nice around the house. When the turdy is here, she brings a great energy, an energy that will be missed sorely. You make doing errands more fun.

We have so much fun when we.

Do errands and we make just everything into an hour and we're hilarious. You make lunch more fun.

Lunch is always fun. Unless it was the lunch we had during that Patreon vlog that'll be out tomorrow.

Right.

The disgusting discussion.

The disgusting discussion.

This is devastating.

It is. But are you looking forward to going back to being Internet friends? Because I know you love doing the podcast.

I'm glad you brought this up. Days of we're weird.

The show was fun.

I couldn't even look at you in the eyes. I was like, we got over it.

Really quickly, and I don't think anybody knew except for the fact that we addressed it. But we are weirdly Internet friends. Yeah.

I happen to love doing the show remotely. I feel like I do my best work remotely, which is good, because I don't feel like when I leave, the show suffers at all. So I'm looking forward to getting back to my little square and your little square. I happen to really like it. I feel comfortable now.

I've gotten used to this.

Me, too. Me, too. And, like, making eye contact. I felt really in pain.

I felt like a stranger in my own house.

I felt like a stranger in my own family. It was just weird. I'm glad we both felt it and we can address it and move on. We so squashed it so quick.

No, it's natural. Like, we were pen pals, and now we're meeting in real life.

We really are. You're, like, right to me in.

Cat.

You're Ryan, and I'm gypsy.

Yeah.

I heard a rumor, and it's so unfounded. And it was a TikTok that gypsy Rose was pregnant.

Why would it be so crazy?

Well, that means she would just be telling us when she's one month pregnant, which is just like, maybe she's not a superstitious girl.

Yeah. Okay, then for that reason, unless they.

But I have no proof that's true. Like, I literally read it in a TikTok comment section. Like, it was so, so extremely fake.

That's really. But then it got that you would even give it a perpetuate.

But it got me thinking. Like, I do think we could see a gypsy rose pregnancy sometime soon because she's very vocal about, like, how much she's fucking bed Jip Lil jip.

Actually, her name is gypsy.

Yeah. I feel like we always have this discussion about the word.

Well, now you're making it weird.

Yeah, I am. When we should be quiet. Just move on.

Okay.

So we've got a great show today. It's just going to be two gorgeous girls being absolutely gorgeous, talking to gorgeous boys and girls. You know what? It's giving gorgeous.

It's giving gorgeousness. As is our new merch, which you can get now@shoptosmerch.com. Still available. Some things are sold out.

Trucker hat gone. T shirt gone. We brought the mug back. The green set and the pink set were good.

So that was a little confusing.

Really.

I feel like you and I on the back end of it. Perfect. Is there a mug?

Yeah. Okay.

Because you said, we brought the mug.

Back, meaning it's back. Are you okay?

No. Okay. I just found it to be a little confusing. Green set and things set are available. Go get yar merch.

And I feel like we're just, like, dillydallying because getting into the stories means the end of summer is approaching. It's the last day of camp.

Yeah. And also getting into the stories means that we have to deal with the stories. I know.

And it's like, when did that become our problem?

The year was 2018.

Let's talk about the last day of camp. What type of girl were you on the last day of camp?

It's hard for me to be without my stuff because you pack a few days before camp, they take your stuff. Camp trucking. They ship it.

Camp trucking.

Trucking. And so, like, you're sleeping in a sleeping bag and you don't have your bedding, and that's, like, little. That's a little. I like to have my thing.

So when we talk about last day of camp, the first thing that comes to mind to you is, like, not having your perfume and stuff, not having my bedding.

But then when it came to toiletries, we wouldn't throw away or we wouldn't ship them back home, so we got to use them in abundance, and you could use other people's toiletries. And so the way I remember last day of camp is just kind of like using new shampoos and conditioners and sleeping in this.

That is so weird.

And waking up at the crack of.

Dawn, that is so weird that that's your association. Because for me, the last day of camp signified the beginning of a really dark period for me, like, a week or two. I was so depressed, I would hysterically cry, leaving my friends long, long, hugs, like, shoulder shaking sobs. Then I would get home, and the sadness would not go away. I was not happy to see my family. I was not happy to see my room. I was not happy to see my school friends. I would wake up for a few days after camp. Waking up alone versus waking up in a bunk with so many people, it was so stark and so different. I was really depressed.

I don't think that I cried on the last day of camp. I'll have to ask Margot Lewin. She would remember, but that just doesn't feel like me. I feel like when I would get.

It does not seem like something you would do.

I feel like when I would get home from camp, I felt renewed and brand new and so many new things I learned at camp, whether it was, like, new music or just new ways to style my hair, and I was, like, excited to take that to the streets when I got home.

That's true. Like, new way of talking.

It was like a new beginning for me. Like, I'm brand new. I'm sitting in my room, and I'm just different.

It. You know what's so interesting? I'm about to say something I've never, like, I've had a thought that I've never thought before. I feel like every time I say something on the podcast, I've said it three times before, but this is, like, a totally new, original thought that just popped into my mind. Okay.

Exciting.

I feel like since doing the toast, we've always been sisters, and I've always known everything about you. But since working with you full time, I know more about you than all the other sisters. I just do. Not that it's a competition. I'm just like saying facts. Okay, it's not a competition because they would lose.

I don't talk to them nearly as much. I'm not on hour three of podcasting for the day with.

However. I feel like. Because when you were just telling me that story, I'm like. I feel like I'm learning things about me. I kind of forgot what I was going to say. My original creative thought.

You feel like you know me really well and you know me better than anyone. Yeah.

But I think maybe what I was. Fuck. I had an original thought. Maybe what I was trying to say. You know what? It's gone.

Literally. So weird. I want to know what you were going to say.

I think maybe I was going to say I feel like I'm having a stroke. Like I can't even talk.

Are you going to. FYI, for hip hop, let's talk about that.

You know what? I'm going to call out Taylor Farms.

Okay. Jackie, you made me feel so small.

In the ad copy yesterday.

I thought I was having a struggle.

Because this is English I was saying. And by the way, I read it every time. You've never said anything in their copy. It says Taylor Farms chopped salad kits. A phi. Boring. And I thought a phi was a word meaning like they reject boring. But apparently somebody made me realize in a comment section, perhaps it's been a typo all this time. Somebody forgot to put the d. It defies boring. And that probably makes a lot more sense, right?

So when I called you out for a fying boring. That's not English.

Yeah, but when we're doing ads, just shut you.

I know. I never call out your flubs during the ads because this is a place of business. It's a place of business and it's a certain amount of time that they get. And I don't want to spend it slandering you, even though that's all you do to me when I read anything. But I'm sorry, it's just a five warrior.

You couldn't let it go.

I didn't comprehend.

You couldn't let it go. I understand that. I could not comprehend to let things go. I get that.

I literally let it go in 2 seconds and you shut me down.

Because I was literally keeping the lights on here. Like Lana. Really?

By speaking wrong, by misspeaking no, I.

Think what I was trying to say back to this thesis of mine that's becoming so painful to talk about. I think what I was trying to say was like, you think you know me because of the toast.

You know me better than anyone.

Yes, but that's not what I was trying to say. And I was trying to say, as kids we were tight, but not as tight as we are now. And I really don't know what I was.

When I come home, I'm brand new. I learn all these things at camp.

No, it's not going to happen. Like, move on. I'm sorry. I'm really like, rat. I know. It was going to be really sweet, too. You would have loved it.

Darn dog.

Okay, let me try. I think what I was trying to say was, like, I'm learning about things, like, you experience and things you think thought, like your thought processes as a young person. And I think I maybe would have never known those things had it not been for the toast. Maybe that's what I was trying to.

I understand that and I feel the same for you. It's like we went through the same thing. We both went to the same camp, we came home on the same bus, we plopped our asses down at the same house, but internally, and we never.

Shared what we were feeling. Right.

But we process it so differently.

It's not know. Even after we were done processing, we sat down and had conversations about those thoughts and feelings.

Right.

And we're doing that now.

Until today. We're unpacking a lot, turdy. And we're holding space for our former selves.

We are holding space for our former selves. And, you know, you can hold space for two things at once. You can if you're annoying as fuck.

Yeah.

By the way, it's actually only possible to hold space for two things at once. If you are annoying and ugly. We don't make the rules.

If you could talk to your younger self, what would you tell her?

People ask me this question all the time and I always have the same answer and they think I'm joking and I'm being dead fucking serious. Like, delete your old tweets, you ugly bitch. Like, what are you doing? You're not funny.

By the way, we talk about this in the vlog that's dropping tomorrow on the Patreon. So I'm going to leave that there. I'm going to set that aside and hold.

You're going to hold space for something else?

Which is like, no. You know, Kendall Jenner and Jay, Shetty when they, like, you have to look.

At a picture of don't slender Jay Shetty. I love.

No, like, it's a popular exercise.

Oh, that clip of Kendall on Jay.

Shetty's podcast of your little girl self.

And when you do negative self talk, just imagine that you're talking negatively to that little girl. Okay. That little girl needed it.

No, what I was going to say, so obviously I'm disappointed in the exercise. I was going to say, what would.

You say to her?

And not, like, buy Tesla stock because she doesn't know what that means. What would you say to her?

Calm down. You're annoying everyone around you.

You're going to bully her.

You're giving yourself, like, a really bad reputation. Just calm down. If you read my book, you know, I was like a really annoying, rambunctious, like, energetic, angry little kid.

Imagine if someone had stifled your energy at that age. You would not be sitting in this chair laturd.

Imagine if somebody. I don't care if it was me in ten years. Imagine if anybody came up to me while I was, like, having a temper tantrum and told me, like, calm down. Oh, my God, I would have literally choked them to death.

Yeah. All that to say you missed the point of, like, the jay Shetty exercise.

No, I get it, I get it, I get it. But some people, no matter how young you are, need to hear hard truth.

You're still wrong. No, you're still annoying because you're little and cute. Like, you still did the wrong thing.

I mean, isn't that parenthood in a nutshell? Wanting to yell at your kids, but they're so cute.

Yeah, it's true. And holding space for both truths is.

Of the utmost importance.

Constantly.

What am I doing holding space for two breast guys. Next time I play charades, I'm going to be like this. She's holding space for two things that are true at once. I'm holding space for both things. So let's hold space for one thing. The fast five stories. I know. I mean, is there anything else you want to talk about? I'm wearing this clip. That was, by the way, did we get into the clip conversation on yesterday's podcast that ended up on the cutting room floor?

Take one or take two?

Did you guys hear about this clip saga? I'm not going to go into it.

But just in case you heard about it, because it really wasn't that. In case you did hear about it.

I'm wearing the clip right now and loving it.

Thanks. You're welcome. What? I'm holding space for right now is the toast.

I mean, are you ever not toast at a glance? My favorite thing. Should we take a step back and look at the toast? At a glance right now? I'm always down to, by the way, like, take a step back.

Yeah, take several.

Several. Okay. What do you want to say about.

The toast at a glance? Flamingos three week adventure.

Oh, no, I meant us. Is it like, our business?

Oh, business is booming.

Booming. Our biggest merch. I almost. Almost say lurch monch.

I did that on my stories today.

Our biggest lurchmonch yet. Honestly. So whatever. I thought our last one was going to be our biggest yet. That gray one, they love that. But now they're loving pink and green. This is like og coloring. I'm not surprised.

No, this is my favorite one.

Me, too.

That I say that about everyone. I would hope that's the way a.

Creator kind of like lurch munches are. Like our children.

I would hope that's the way a creator felt about their lurch munches.

We're such creators. We are.

No, I know we joke, but literally nobody creates more than us.

Wait. I actually saw a TikTok that was so smart. I loved it and I saved it. Can I play it for you?

Of course.

And I learned a word that I had never learned before. It was such a smart TikTok. Oh, here. Okay. Talking about how influencers like an insult makes it seem like you think you're better than everyone.

I don't know.

I just don't vibe with the word. So she was responding to someone who said that with big platform.

Is that person an influencer?

Yes, a huge one.

So she's saying, I don't identify as an influencer, even though I technically am an influencer. I don't like the word.

Yeah, right? And so this girl's response word bitch.

Originally just meant female dog. It was a neutral word, but eventually went through a language evolution process called peduration.

Are you familiar with the word peduration?

No.

Me neither.

Meaning, it picked up negative connotations over time that weren't a part of the original definition. What's interesting about peduration as a language process is that it's very gendered. A lot of words that are originally neutral in their meaning but have something to do with femininity end up pediating over time and becoming insults. Meanwhile, the reverse happens to masculine words. But all of that to say, I can't help noticing now the disdain with which we all spit out the word influencer. And mind you, I think there are very valid criticism of both influencers and influencing as a job, but it is predominantly women in this space, and I can't help but wonder if that has anything to do with why we now want to distance ourselves from that word so much. Think Allah. Well, I'm not feminist, but I believe in.

She lost me there.

No, but she's right.

The word duration, first of all, I didn't know that was a thing.

A lot of female words like bitch, pussy. Right. And douche.

Douche. Oh, my God, it's so funny because I think of douche as, like, something we call men.

No, but it's like, it's a female word. It's a female take.

Yeah. And first of all, I didn't know about pedgeration. I just love that word. I need to learn more about it and start using it in everyday life. Probably using it incorrectly, but it was a good take on why influencer has become a bad word. Because when you think about influencers, you do not think about men.

No.

You think about women, mostly, like, moms who do it as a job in addition to being a mom.

Yeah.

Like the OG influencers that I think about. That's what I think about.

Yeah. I do think in that TikTok. I don't know that influencers. I mean, I could be wrong, but that it will go the way of, like, bitch, where it turns into something that it's, like a slur. Yeah. And I also don't relate to the original person. Like, I'm a proud influencer.

I saw that original video, and I thought it was, like, such an extreme take. Like, I don't want to be associated. I think a lot of people don't want to call themselves influencers because they'd rather be, like, I don't want to be called an influencer because I'd rather be referred to as a comedian or a podcaster.

The thing is, I don't mind if someone calls me an influencer. I just don't want to call myself an influencer because it's, like, a little bit, hey, look at me. I am so influential. That's like calling yourself a celebrity. It's just a little immodest, but it's not unaccurate. And if someone was, like, writing something about me and they said, influencer, jackass, I'd be like, hey, I have no problem when someone calls me it. It's just a little presumptuous when you say it, because it's like, oh, you think you're so influential.

Yeah, but the word influencer, it comes with an eye roll.

Well, not for me.

Yeah, but you're unique in that. Like, for everyone else, it does.

They're just jealous.

Well, they are jealous, by the way. Right.

Because also all kids want to be influencers. No.

And it's like, if you can do it right, it's the best job in the world.

We could wax poetic on this debate, whether it's the best or the worst.

That's true.

But it is a desirable job. Like when they poll kids about what they want to be when they grow up, a lot of them say, most of them say they want to be influencers, which is just a little sad. But it is, as two influencers, it's a larger conversation. It's not just the pediguration of the word. It's bigger than that.

Our aspirations are no longer like academia or science or medicine.

It's also like the peduration of just like, the profession in general. Certainly it's gendered. There's a lot there. But I am grateful for being introduced.

To the word peduration.

Yeah.

And let me just shout out the creator who made that video, because not us, stealing her whole thesis, her name is Audra.

Thank you, Audra. Thank you for that vocabulary lesson. Vocabulary lesson and thought provoking stuff. I was looking for a better word than stuff, but it's just a pile of stuff.

By the way, I've been saying, because there weirdly in my room have been so many different piles of stuff. Because I'm packing and I'm cleaning and I'm moving and I'm leaving and I'm this and I'm that shopping yada. I've been saying the three words pile of stuff, like probably 50 times over the last week. And I can't say it without saying pile of stuff. Tough if you know. You know.

Yeah.

So I think we should dive into the fast five stories. What do you think about that?

I think so. I think that eventually we have to.

Right. Might as well just do it. Just do it.

Rip off the band aid. Who knows where it'll take us. The fast five are always a journey. A journey through time. Without further ado, here are the fast five stories that you need to know.

The fast five stories that you need.

To know are brought to you by.

Maidenform, which I'm really excited about. We actually have some of the pieces here in studio. Our gorgeous model jacks. We were thinking about putting them on and modeling for you guys. We're wearing them under our clothes and I just think, taking our clothes off, we're not that kind of show. But we really do want to show you how fabulous these pieces are. Jackie and I are very specific about what underwear bras we want to promote, but also that we want to wear. And m by Maidenform is a collection, and Maidenform is a brand with 100 years of innovation and category leadership. They basically wrote the book on bras, and M is the juicy next chapter. So Jackie's holding one of the sets.

That is so cute.

I really want to talk about the underwear jacks. Can you show them, like a little bit of the stretch?

Oh, yeah.

I like underwear that's going to mold to my body. And I like underwear with a couple of inches in the waistband.

I need a couple inches.

I need a little bit not so like high waisted, but I just need some coverage. Coverage on the belly. I happen to love those undies. I think they're super comfortable. Love.

I wish you guys could feel how soft they are. It's like butter.

Yeah. So it's yummy. Buttery soft fabrics. It's a great style that won't break the bank. Their on trend designs are made from stretchy, comfy fabrics in incredible colors. It's gorgeous blue.

Gorgeous blue.

So you wear it just for yourself. Nobody needs to see it. But if somebody does happen to see it, a lover, a partner, whatever, you.

Don'T have to be embarrassed.

Also, pull up the bra. I want to say one thing about this bra that I really like. There is a band underneath the cups because I get like rolls under my underwire sometimes. And there's, I would say, like five inches of material that's really stretchy and comfortable under the cups. That smooths out that under boob roll that I have. And I think a lot of people might have that problem. So I just happen to really like both of these items. And I love the whole line. It's called m by maidenform.

Love the whole line. They have tons of colors.

Yes. Super cute. So whether it's just for you or for millions to see, check it out. Visit maidenform.com and use code toast 20 at checkout for 20% off your first purchase. That's maidenform.com.

And I feel like on certain topics, like, you can trust us and we're the big titty committee and you could trust your girls.

Things for your nether regions.

Trust things for your nether regions trust.

Our first story, a little royal news. Prince William has bailed out an event with Queen Camilla for personal reasons while Kate Middleton is doing well after surgery. So Prince William was a no show at a memorial service for the late King Constantine II of Greece at Windsor Castle on Tuesday amid his wife Kate Middleton's recovery from abdominal surgery. Now, we don't know if these two things are related, but he was supposed to go to this event. The late king was his godfather.

Oh, wow.

He did not attend. And also holding space for two things to be true. He didn't attend. While also Kate is out of surgery. Out of surgery. Are they related?

I feel like something's really, like, I feel like the royals don't cancel on stuff. They work them to the bone over there. They don't take time off. The fact that Kate is taking time off, he's now excusing himself from an event that looks like it's really important. Like, this is somebody he was supposed.

To give a reading, too.

So I don't know. And I feel like they've been very nondescript about what's going on with Kate while we have so much information on.

Oh, my God. I feel like next we're going to see a colonial.

Yeah. And that's great. They've been so. And transparent with details, but with Kate, they've kind of given us nothing and then never brought it up again.

Yeah, but she's out till Easter. But let's we not forget Easter is coming early this year, March 31. So she should be back in about a month.

It's just suspicious.

Yeah. I think people are quizzical about no.

And now when anything comes to the royals. But also, this is, like, very strange and out of character. People have conspiracy theorized. Like, what's the theory on? I don't know, but a lot of people are just not buying what the palace is feeding them.

They didn't give us anything. They said personal reasons that could run the gap.

They said abdominal.

Oh, for Kate. Kate.

Yeah, for Kate.

Prince William backed out of this for personal reasons.

Oh, to, like, his personal reasons are Kate. Oh, you think if they're not, he needs to reprioritize. His wife just got out of surgery.

But his wife got out of surgery and he's still planning on intending this.

So what? Yeah. Maybe she's not recovering well. Yeah, it's confusing.

Yeah, it is.

I hope all's well and hope it's nothing nefarious.

Yeah, nothing nefarious.

Of course. People are just so quick to think it's nefarious with the royals because they think they're, like, this all consuming the firm.

Sometimes.

They are, actually. So I feel that.

Yeah, I feel that, too. But I don't know. I'm going to wait and see.

I'm going to ask you a question, and I want you to just don't answer me quickly. Like, think about it. Take a second. Really think. Okay.

Okay.

What would you say if I asked you for a sip of your water?

I would say yes, because we've had a hard morning.

And would you let me waterfall it or you would let me put.

I would let you put your lips on it. Because we've been through a lot together today.

Yeah.

More than you guys have seen.

Yeah. Like, a lot of behind the scenes, off camera sort of thing.

Like, things aren't going our way today. So I wouldn't be one more thing to stand in your way and make things harder for you.

Shannon Ford said, like, I need to be drinking a lot of water to keep up with my sunburn, to make sure I don't, like, blister or crack. Can I actually just keep this water?

Can I have one more sip?

Because it looks so good. Did I. Well, I waterfalled it because I was being respectful, but then I was like, I need this. I actually have not drank enough water today. I had a soda. There she goes. Is she going to drink the whole thing before. Now it's mine.

I'm good.

We're so hydrated.

We're so lovely in sharing. Sharing is caring. And I care deeply for my sister.

I feel like you've gotten a lot better. Maybe. At least it's just with me about crazy germ, like, won't share drinks. Ben's, like, weird about sharing drinks, and that's just not going to work for me. So we share drinks whether he likes it or not. But even with other members of his family, he wouldn't share a drink with you.

I don't love sharing drinks. I share drinks with my husband because my rose is my husband. And when he does manage. Put the drinks away. We will share one. Of course we'll share a beverage. Cheers to that.

Cheers to that.

But I don't jump at the chance to give someone a sip of my beverage. However, I know you need it and you're struggling, so I jump to help. I do.

I so appreciate that. I really, really do. You're such a good friend and sister and lover. Ew.

Okay, how about ew?

What if I just. Ew?

Are you ready for our next story? Yeah. A little reality tv news says love is blind stars Jessica and Johnny were seen together at the airport.

This is really upsetting.

So Jessica and Johnny from love is blind linked up in the real life at the airport, which may prove to be a big twist because they never really crossed paths on the show. TMZ has a video that shows the two stars who did not interact on the reality series, as far as we know, walking through a terminal at LAX on Sunday morning where they were shoulder to shoulder.

The thing is that everything about love is blind is so top secret that this would just never fly. If they were a like, now that they're all famous, they're doing a lot of work. Netflix is flying them out to LA, I'm sure New York, to do all the shows, podcasts. I'm sure that they were put on the same flight to go do a work thing.

And we all know they live in the same town, right? Shoulder to shoulder. I don't think this is a smoking gun, though. It could be that. So let's discuss the potential of them, Kate.

I mean, he is so concerned about children. She's got a ten year old, right? He would literally run scared out of her house screaming. He's so afraid of kids.

Fundamentally, this isn't going to work. I feel like that's probably why they never spoke in the pods. He was like, I don't want to have kids. And she said, I have a kid.

And that's that also on a personality level, in my opinion, and this might be mean to me, he's so beta. And we've been saying all along, like, jess needs, like, a man.

Are there any alphas on the show?

I feel like going on the show is the antithesis of being an alpha. Like, not to be so mean, but that's true. And I feel like a lot of the guys who go on and why they're so toxic is because they think they're alphas and they're really. Yeah, I honestly, I'm going to say me crazy. I would say the only alpha that I can think of in history of love is blind. Is like, people are going to think this is crazy. Is like Barnett.

I was thinking the same, but see.

But then I think about, like, Cameron Hamilton.

I wouldn't say he's an alpha. He's a great.

Not an alpha, but I wouldn't say he's a beta. He's kind of like neither.

He's not interested in your game.

Greek.

Yeah, he's not interested in your greek labeling games. And that's what makes him cool.

Yeah.

But as far as Alpha, I can't think of any other season other than one and the one we're watching now. No. Okay.

I can think of the one full of losers, the worst one. That's the shake. Deep tea. Natalie.

Shane. Shane.

That was the biggest group of losers on the planet.

That was a really hard time. We went through a lot.

We deserve compensation for what we went.

Through for having watched that season.

Yeah.

And I think we recapped it.

Yeah. Oh, loserville.

What was last?

Oh, that was, like, Jared and Ayanna too. They were actually cute, but they ended up getting divorced. Nick and Danielle. Danielle, yeah.

Then there's last, like, two seasons ago, which was, like, Kwame and Chelsea. Oh, that was also Irina.

Yeah. Oh, actually, I kind of like that one. And by the way, Kwame and Chelsea, I check up on them once a month. I actually was looking at her instagram two days ago. They're still so.

And two other couples stayed together. Who was it?

Google it. That was a weird season. Hold on. Chelsea. Kwame. Love is blind. Yeah. That was the Portland and Seattle season. I won't get into it.

Your favorite.

Okay. Oh, Zach and bliss, they're expecting a baby. You were obsessed with them.

I'm obsessed with them. So I would say Zach is an alpha.

What you would do you know what alpha means?

You don't think?

No, I don't think. Do you? I can't tell if you're joking. Okay, that was season four. Let me just look it up. Season four. Love is blind couples. I just want to make sure I'm not forgetting anyone, even though I know I am. Bret and Tiffany. Who the hell is that?

Let me see.

I've never seen these in my life.

I think I remember Tiffany. She was a great gal. She was, like, super serious. And I think they were in a really solid. I think Bret had a sneaker collection.

Tiffany and Bret are still married. I've never seen these people in my life, but they're cute. They're both, like, really good.

You know, they were great couple. I think he had cool sneakers, because.

I remember I watched Micah and Paul broken up.

Right.

Chelsea and Kwame married. Zach and bliss married baby on the way. Oh, Marshall and Jackie, they were broken up. That was it. That was actually a good season.

Yeah, that was a good season.

So do I think Jess and Johnny are dating? No one, because Netflix would never allow this photo to get out. It's so avoidable that they both would just take separate flights. And two, talk about two less compatible people on the planet. They don't exist.

Agreed. And I think that Jess is about to bloom. Yeah, no, she's going to start dating athlete. Anyone she wants. I think she's like the most eligible bachelorete on the planet right now.

I think so, too.

Right? That's like the zeitgeist. People love her.

We definitely like her more than other people. I think a lot of people think she's like, catty, mean girl.

I didn't get that.

I didn't get that either. I think a lot of people just will assume that about a girl who's really pretty. Like, for real. That's how I feel.

Yeah. I think I saw some people thinking that she was kind of made mean remarks about Chelsea's looks, but that's not what I got. I think she was more so hyping herself up.

I did not think she said. And she had said, what's his name?

James.

What's Jimmy? Well, I guess his name might be James. When Jimmy is breaking up with her. She was basically like, when you get out of the pods, you're going to vomit over what you say. Epipen. And maybe people took that as, like, being like, well, I'm gorgeous and Chelsea's ugly, but she was really just talking about herself.

She was just talking about herself.

Yeah. I like her, so don't know if everybody else does, but I like her. And by the way, I'm not going to be able to watch the love is blind episodes because I'm going to be partying in St. Bart's, like, tomorrow.

Oh, my God. I can finally watch and you're not here.

I will watch. By the time the next episode of the toast comes out Tuesday, I will be caught up.

Okay, great. Me, too.

I'll get the Netflix app on my phone or something. I'll watch it on the plane.

Yeah, you'll use your VPN, ExpressVPn.

I think you could probably watch it, like, not in America.

I think it's just cooler to watch with ExpressVpn. I agree. And just make it feel like you're doing something wrong. But don't get locked up abroad, okay?

I promise.

Are you ready for our next story? Which was one of the crazier stories I've seen in a little bit?

Well, with an intro like that, I certainly am ready.

Madonna removes Luther Vandross from celebration tour AIDS tribute following an ask from his estate.

I had heard about Luther Vandross wanting nothing to do with Madonna. I read that this morning.

Madonna has made an adjustment to her celebration tour. The queen of pop removed an image of him from the section of her tour that pays tribute to AIDS victims after his estate requested it be taken down. Her rep confers to people, not me.

Learning for the first time ever that that's how luther Vandross passed away. That's so sad, Claudia.

The estate put out a statement that said Luther Vandross passed away in 2005 due to complications from a stroke suffered two years earlier. While we appreciate Madonna's recognition of those lives lost to AIDS, Luther was never diagnosed with AIDS or the HIV virus. We're not sure where she or her production team received false medical information claiming otherwise. We're currently in contract with her management to remove Luther Vanderos from the tribute.

There is nothing funny about HIV, but this is funny. How does a mishap like this happen?

How does this happen? I feel like it's a quick. I'm sure whoever was in charge, like, just did a Google search, like, notable because other people who are in the tribute include names like Keith Haring, Herbert and Freddie Mercury.

I was going to say he's probably, like, the most famous person.

So probably there was a Google in there.

Oh, my God. Do you think that they were looking for an image of someone else and accidentally put a picture of Luther Vandross, or they really thought Luther Vandross died of HIV?

Ooh. Could be either. I think the second one.

This is humiliating for absolutely everyone involved. And it just reminds me how much I love Luther Bandros when I actually know nothing about him other than that one song.

That one song is enough. It's enough. Love a person forever.

Dance with my father again. Like, so beautiful. I used to listen to that song before my dad was dead and tear up. And now it's just, like, so appropriate.

It's like a song that you actually can't listen to. No. You just want be able to carry on with your day.

It's a song that you can't listen to. If you just want to be able.

To carry on with your things to do. I can't be bogged.

Lives to lead, businesses to run, that song will cripple you.

It's like your day just comes to a screeching halt.

No, it's kind of like your life comes to a screeching halt. We feel that way. About what? Ben Platt song. I haven't listened to it in forever.

I literally can.

In case you don't live forever, let me tell you now I love you more than you'll ever wrap your head around.

I'm disassociating in case you don't live forever.

Let me tell you the truth. I'm everything that I am because of you.

My body accepted a small chill. That's as far as we'll go.

We should start a list of songs that we can't listen to if we want to move on with our days. Because right now it's those two.

Okay. I like that.

Is there any other song that comes to mind as, like, we'll just cry?

I'll just call it cry songs. But I'll know if I search Luther Vandross. It'll come up.

I actually like the title we had coming.

It's too long and I'm trying to move on with my day.

Oh, my God.

You know who probably has a list of all these songs? Who? Margot Oshre.

Yeah.

She loves listening to these songs. It's a form of self harm.

It definitely is. But she casts a wide net. I'm thinking like she does.

She also listens to some that are just like sad emo in your feels. Not like I have to sit in a dark room today. No.

I love that Ben Platt song.

It's really good.

It's really good. It's really beautiful. Just know, like, I feel that way about you.

Stop. I'm not having this conversation. You're trying to bring me to a place we can't come.

Like, it's sad. Like. No, I feel that way about you, too.

Stop.

Move on. Stop.

Our next story is something that's really going to cause waves.

What is it?

And it's story number four.

Cool.

Which is exciting and irrelevant because today's episode is brought to you by m. No.

And we love maidenform. Like, go use the code. What was it? Let me just remind the peeps. Oh, yeah, that's right. Toast 20.

At maidenform.com, Wendy's announces dynamic pricing with increased menu ticketmaster during busy hours. It's like uber surge.

Wait, I'm sorry. I don't like this.

Wendy's customers may face different prices depending on what time of day they go to the burger joint. The fast food spot announced a plan to roll out dynamic pricing in 2025 during an earnings call in February. Wendy's's new price model will be similar to how ride sharing apps like Uber or Lyft bump up their prices during increased. Customers could be paying as much as $1 for a baconator during peak time, like the lunch rush, according to GMA segment that aired on Tuesday. But other times they could be spend like $10. No.

Okay. I just want to say the recession has taken this has gone too far. For real. We need someone to save us. This is insane. First of all, I like the idea if it's never going to go up. If you're going to a wendy's at four in the morning and nobody's there, sure. Give me that burger for fifty cents. I actually like that.

Okay, sure.

But if they're inverse going to make it expensive when it's busy, no, I'm sorry. And I think this sets a really bad precedent.

It's really crazy. And I'm surprised nobody's thought to do it sooner because I'm sure it makes a lot of sense. Economically. You can charge more than supply and demand, baby. But this could disrupt the entire restaurant industry in a way that I don't like.

Yeah, no, it's actually really scary to think about how any restaurant, when they're busier, they have their just peak menu prices and then their regular menu prices. I really don't like that. And I think especially like a small, like wendy's doing this, I'm sorry. It's unforgivable. I could see a small business wanting to do this. How can you even blame them during these dark economic times? But this has gone too far. For real. I need an economist to come in and fix things because this is not okay.

Yeah, it's crafty as hell, though. The more I think about it, the more I'm like, this makes so much sense because also at peak times, like you hire more people, things cost more. Like you need more workers. Whereas in the middle of the night you could just have one person and you can charge less. But this would change everything.

It would change the course of her story.

I think it would change things so much. Like if every restaurant, I think it would actually change human behavior to the point that people would stop eating at.

Regular times, like the meal times, and.

Maybe people would start being awake in the middle of the night and sleep during the day to save money. It could be one of these actual cultural shifts.

If it catches on, like Wendy's doesn't have that impact. If it just Wendy's is the one to do it. But if it's successful for Wendy's and then other chains and then it trickles down to small mom and pop restaurants, it becomes like the norm. I will die, first of all. Like, seriously, I'll be so mad. And it would be a seismic shift in humanity.

Yeah. In human behavior, though, I will say I feel like I eat at weird times of day.

So you think you could skirt this?

And as an influencer it's kind of my duty to do popular things at off hours. Like, we get manicures in the middle of the day to make room for.

The girls who are done working at 06:00 and go right after. So the boom at 630 we're not a part of.

Right. And we want to make space for them and hold space for them. And so it's our duty to not show up when, during, like, a rush hour, of course, because we don't have to. Because we can make our own schedule.

Right. It's kind of like us being martyrs.

Yeah. And maybe if more influencers did things such as that, the peduration, they wouldn't have such a bad rap.

Totally. This is crazy. I don't like it and I don't support it.

Okay, let's stay tuned. Let's follow this story.

It's a developing story.

Another developing story is our fifth and final. Kind of, like, zapped through those stories.

They were, like, kind of bad.

No, but actually, I've enjoyed our discussion on each of them.

I have had the time of my life fighting dragons with you. This episode has been so much fun. And I have nothing negative to say about the episode, just the stories.

Well, our fifth story is extremely negative, love. Norovirus cases are surging in the US, especially in the northeast. So, you guys, cases of norovirus are surging in the US, particularly in the northeast, where CDC data has shown a steady increase in people with the illness.

Now, if you're new here and you don't know the importance of this specific virus to us and our family, please go listen to the episode. Actually, me and Ben hosted it. I think you were on maternity leave. It's called questioning every fart with Ben Zoffer. Just to give yourself a little bit of context of how this particular virus penetrated my home and affected my family.

Affected your family? Affected my family.

Oh, right, I forgot about you. Oh, yeah, you were there.

Oh, my God. The girl brought me norovirus when she.

Was nine months pregnant.

No, I was like, one month postpartum.

Oh, my God.

So, first, norovirus is a very contagious virus that causes vomiting and diarrhea. Parentheses at the same time.

I can't talk about it.

Anyone can get infected and sick with norovirus. It's sometimes called the stomach flu or a stomach bug. However, norovirus illness is not related to the flu, which is caused by influenza. So let me just say one thing about norovirus. At this time of year, you will know if you have it. There's no mistaking it.

And if you've never had it before, you'll know that you had it because it's unlike anything any human has ever experienced. You can't even compare it to the stomach flu. You can't even compare it to food poisoning. It is 36 hours of hell.

And if you've never had it before, just know that if you feel like you're about to throw up, sit on the toilet.

Yeah, by the way. So Ben and I did this episode, and it is quite vulgar, but it's important because this is, like, a public health issue. And when I said this on the podcast, the virus was running rampant in the northeast, and so many people messaged me, being like, thank you for this helpful tip.

So I'm going to say it again. If you feel like you're about to throw up and you're on the toilet. No. If you feel like you're about to throw up, like. And you're standing, and you could be standing. Throwing up anywhere at the toilet. Sit on the toilet.

Sit on the toilet and throw up into a bag or the garbage bin. Do not hover over the toilet, leaving your ass exposed. Like, you will regret it. You will regret it because just because you're about to throw up, it means you're also about to shit your pants. So just keep that in mind for two things at one. Two things can be tricked. You are going to vomit, but you're also going to shit your pants. So sit your ass down on the toilet and get a garbage bin.

Yeah. That's what will leave you with re norovirus. But I just, like, I can't go through that again.

That article, it said it was running rampant in the northeast. Yeah.

So that's why you're saying that.

By the way, when I saw that story, I was, like, thanking heavens because I would catch it. That just happens to me. I was thinking the heavens that I decided to extend my trip and then go to St. Barth.

But here's the thing. If I've had it once, am I immune?

No, it's a seasonal thing. It's like the flu. You get the flu every year. Yeah.

You can get the flu every year.

You are not immune to it.

No way. But that's also because the flu keeps changing. Is norovirus changing?

Definitely. By the way. And doesn't it make you happy to think about. Norovirus is the great equalizer. Like, celebrities get it. So just think about Austin Butler, like, going to vomit and then accidentally pooping on the floor.

I could see it.

I feel like, by the way, it's funny to me that people associate notovirus with me. Do you know, anytime it's in the news, people set, like, a thousand people tag me in TikToks. They send it to me in DMS. It's like, that's kind of my legacy.

Yeah, that's part of your brand.

It's beautiful.

Turdy starter kit.

Yeah.

Norovirus claw.

Cliff, I really love how we brought Diet Coke, how we brought the holding two things at once. Space for two things. You couldn't have written a podcast better than that. And I think it was the perfect way to end our time together.

I totally agree. Just the invisible string of holding two things.

Holding space for two things at once.

Holding space for two true things at once.

That's obviously going to be our title. Holding space for two things at once. I'll allow it.

You'll allow it? Wow.

I only allow podcast titles to be. They really shouldn't be more than four words. And if they are, they have to be stellar. And that one was.

Yeah, I think that's all she wrote.

The next time you hear from us, I'll probably be so bright red, but I'll be so happy that I took my trip to St. Bart's because I'm so excited. Feel like when I get home from St. Bart's, I'm really going to be sad right now. I have so much to look forward to, and I'm just really excited about it. So bittersweet. So sad to be leaving. You do Fru and Lou, but so excited for my trip. So thank you for your hospitality.

Thank you for being here.

Toasters.

Thank.

It's just been. It's an amazing time. And I don't even want to wrap up the show because that means, like, it's well and truly over.

Yeah. And that's sad. Yeah. Well, there's always Patreon. You guys. If you're missing us, we'll be over there doing our thing, having fun, letting loose. Thank you, Rip.
