Good morning, millennials. And welcome back to The Toast. Happy Wednesday. It is Humpday here at The Toast, a gorgeous, beautiful, fine day. We love Humpday. Humpday. Humpday. I am joined in studio by, very appropriately, someone whom I wouldn't mind.

I take advantage of Humpday. Exactly. Every day is Humpday in our home.

Every day is hump-day. I'm joined in studio by Ben Sofer. Jacqueline Follay has fallen ill, and she trudged. She got through two shows this week, but we gave her today off. She's really not doing well. So Ben is here instead, which is honestly so appropriate.

Why is that?

Okay, so you don't listen to the show, thanks. Yesterday on the show, we had a conversation about free will.

Let me.

Just ask you, Ben. Do you think we have free will?

I do. You do? I do, yes.

So I was saying, What's stopping one of us from just quitting?

That's a great question. Letting others down.

Of course, the consequences.

Yeah, but all these things are emotional. You could.

Easily quit. So what we had said was that if one of us quit, who would we replace the other with? And so my answer was obviously you. Yes. Jackie had said she'd hold auditions between Olivia and Margo, who cut it.

Interesting. So she didn't say me.

No, she didn't say you. Why would you expect.

Her to? No, I mean, I just won't be filling in for her anymore. So, Jackie, if you'd like Olivia and Margo, then whenever you fall ill, fall ill, you can call them. You can arrange.

Their travel. It's so funny how you took that as an insult because it was really a nice conversation. It was? Yeah.

I don't see it that way.

Oh, my God. You're such a victim mentality. I don't see it that way.

I chose you. I know, as you should, because I am the obvious choice. But it's fine. It is.

What it is. Wow. You're getting like a bit of a.

Big head. You're looking pretty great in that hat, speaking of big head.

Thank you. We're both wearing hats. I mean, you always wear a hat on the Toast. No, you.

Say I don't listen, but I know that we're.

In our hat era. Okay. So you watch the clips on Instagram. We talked about hats on the clips. That's why. It's true. I can always tell when somebody references Toast moments that only were made into clips. I'm like, Oh, so you don't listen to podcasts. You just watch the clips, which totally counts. We appreciate the engagement in any way.

It is a great hat. I got it at a great concert.

I know. And you're wearing a hat, too.

I am wearing a hat. But you always wear a hat. It's our new Good Guys merch. So let's.

Talk about that. Yeah. So you're like... Oh, my God. Did anybody hear that? Yeah. I thought literally we were robbed. I think somebody like UPS just dropped off a package, but they must have thrown it at our door. Yeah, that was crazy. No, my heart just stopped.

Are we just still running? Yeah, we're still running. Okay, so UPS definitely took an entire box and chucked it at the door. They didn't place it on the floor. They like, One, two, let's do what we can break. Three. Yeah, that was terrifying.

Because that's the sound of somebody coming to kill you.

No, that was very scary. We're fine. We're all good. We're all good and good. Settle yourself. Merch.

Well, yeah, I wanted to talk to you because clearly you have a big head. Yeah. And I think that comes from the success of your personal podcast.

It.

Does. Every time you're here, the podcast gets bigger and bigger. You and Josh have just been killing it.

Thank you, darling.

So yeah, go off.

I love it. It's just so fun. And to any toasters that aren't listening, I think you're just being a little stubborn. It's a really great.

Funny, good show. Maybe they're.

Just being loyal. No, you can listen to both. You can listen to both. It's once a week. We're just basically giving you a bonus ep. It's true.

It should be part of patron.

Yeah, it's a bonus app. It's just extra. We have so.

Many amazing guests. Oh, you call it ep now?

Yeah, bonus app. I'm such amazing guests. You do. Josh and I, we do the solo episodes. Those are amazing. But then the guests this week or in two weeks, Chris Di Stefano.

Yeah, it's because your co-host is an actual celebrity who knows- By the way.

I take the handouts. I'm not saying we-.

I wasn't attacking you. I'm just saying that's why you have an amazing guest.

No, we have amazing guests because we have an amazing show.

Yeah, of course. Now, there's a controversy in your community- Is there? -that I think we should address.

Tell me.

Where in the world is Miranda Cosgrove's episode?

Yes, it's coming. So because of.

Sag- You guys recorded an episode with Mirandas and Mark Rove, who, of course, played Megan in Drake and Josh. That's like an iconic moment in pop culture. It's going to break the internet when it comes out. You don't stop talking about this episode. You recorded it, and it never came out.

I know. Because of SAG. Sag ruined everybody's lives. And the fact is, as a member of.

Sag- You're not a member of SAG.

I'm really happy that I fought with my brothers and sisters to get us the right contract.

By the way, you're not a member of SAG, but you were a SAG-compliant podcast.

I was. We were completely.

You followed.

All the rules. We were completely. We followed all the rules, and we spoke too much about future projects, current projects, past projects- With Miranda. -with Miranda that we couldn't air it. But Miranda's episode will be a Christmas gift. It will definitely air sometime in December.

Okay, famous last words. It's like, give the people what they want. I promise. Where's the Miranda Costco episode?

I promise. It's coming.

There's a conspiracy theory that maybe you never recorded it. Is there really? Maybe you guys.

Were lying. Are people really talking? No, no, no. Oh, you're making it up. But every.

Time the good guys gets talked about in our comment section, people are like, Where is Miranda Cosgrove?

Got it. It's coming. It was Sag. I'm sorry. Also, that episode was recorded so long ago, and I know that the podcast is just better. I hope the episode.

Is still good. It is. Don't be so hard on yourself. Let's say you know your true podcast are constantly striving for greatness. It's true. We are. Well, I'm so proud of you.

And Josh. Thank you, darling. We need to have you back on the show.

I'm on all the time.

You were on once, and the episode was amazing.

Excuse me, I was on twice.

When was the first time?

When you first launched.

This doesn't count. You were on once, and it was amazing. By the way, do you see how blue my shoe is here? Yeah. So Nike, I found out, has a 30-day return policy. We're on day 29. I'm going to take these puppies in, shop them out. One thing.

About Ben Sofer, he will be reading the fine print of the return policy. I've never seen anyone make returns quite like that. I saw him return a pair of pants. I'm not going to say the store because I don't want to get you in trouble. That literally you were, like the entire time we dated for years and they had a hole in the crotch, and you literally returned them. And did it work? Yeah. What's your secret?

What's my secret. -and where did you learn? If you don't try- It's true. -they could say no.

-what's the worst they could say?

What's the worst thing they.

Can happen? And where did you get that tenacity?

I once watched my father return 25-year-old Gucci loavers. What? I once watched him return them.

How?

I don't know. And the person took them, and he got new ones now.

Were they worn?

Were they worn? They were worn for 25 years. These are old shoes. These are like his.

Grandfather's shoes. That's so bruising.

Yeah. I'm making it seem like I make returns. Or we're making it seem like I make returns quite often.

All the time.

You never do. I don't. I never do just because I'm too lazy. But when I do- When you put your mind to something. When I put my mind to something, I can do it. So I'm going to return these bad boys because this is also just staining.

No, that's a crap pair of shoes.

It's just staining.

They didn't age well in the 25 days.

They didn't age well, 29 days. Let me.

Ask you another question. Was it difficult growing up with a father named Bruce?

Why? Because of Matilda? Yes. Oh, my God. How did you know I was going to say that? Because it's iconic. Bruce is such an iconic name between- I agree. -bruce, Bruce Springsteen, Bruce Sofer.

Bruce Willis.

Bruce Willis. Totally.

Strong name.

Bruce is a great name.

And even though the people you just named aren't, it's a very Jewish name. Yes. Is Bruce Springsteen Jewish? He's just from New Jersey.

What a question. I don't think.

He is. I don't know. The last name, Stein?

Yeah, but I don't.

Think so. No, I don't think so either. Because nothing about him is Jewish, except the fact that he's from New Jersey and his name is Bruce. Speaking of Jewish, there was a fabulous event in DC yesterday. Fabulous. Almost 300,000 people showed up in DC to march against anti-Semitism. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life. And I had so much fucking FOMO. It looked incredible. I just want to say to everybody who went, it was a beautiful, just sea of blue. It was stunning. And I was very.

Proud to be Jewish. Yes, me too. Always proud to be Jewish. But yesterday was a great day. And I do wish that we went. And just from the videos, it looked like there was such a great concert. Omar Adam, who just has been unbelievable.

Omar Adam is basically like the Taylor Swift of Israel. He's the biggest star ever. You probably have actually heard some of his music here in America because it gets so popular. Yeah. You wouldn't know that you.

Know him. He was there, but you should look him up if you.

Don't know. He sang the national anthem. Oh, my.

God, it was chilling. Matiasu was there. A legend. Love him. One day. One day.

One.

Day. One day. One day. One day.

You should become like a Jewish, Orthodox rapper.

I.

Could do it. I know you love Niesim Black. Love him. He's amazing. And he does music, right?

Yeah. You should do it. He's great. I'm down. Why not? Just add it to my repertoire. Totally. Add it to my Rolodex.

Well, your repertoire today and your Rolodex today is very busy because we have five stories that are all very good. Let's go. We have some sad news. We have some TV news. We have some cheek-crack-hole news. And then we have Dear Toaster, which you always crush.

Excellent. Yeah. We also have a similar segment on my podcast, Speak Pipe for good guys. So in case you ever have a... Maybe they're not answering you. You're submitting, Dear Toaster's wife, Claudia, ignoring me. We won't ignore you. We will respond.

Because you get so few submissions.

We will respond. We have the time.

Right, because you get so few submissions that you can answer every single one that comes in. Meanwhile, we get thousands of people dying to help us. We can only help so many. So go.

To speakpipe. Com/goodguides to submit, and your voices will be heard.

If.

You keep.

Over-promoting me, you're not going to be us back. You won't be my fill-in co-host when Jackie quits one day. What? No, I'm kidding.

I have to.

Speaking of promotion, I do want to say one thing. We are closing pre-orders for the Chile season merch tonight. So every size is available, but we're going to close it tonight so we can start shipping out orders and getting the sweaters made. So shoptoastmerch. Com for the Chile season hoodies, crew necks, and hats. It's closing tonight. Thank you to everyone who purchased. I can't wait for you all to get it. So we can just cuddle up on a Sunday with our Chile and our Chile Season merch. That's shoptoastmerch. Com.

And the merch is actually unbelievable. Thank you. Unreal. So soft, delicious, pillowy.

Oh, so now you're taking my advice where I said you were overpromoting yourself too much, and now you're channeling that energy towards promoting my stuff.

Wait, I don't overprom myself too much. I over promote.

Everything too much.

Your projects. No, I over promote you. You do. Nobody over promotes you more than me. It's true. No one over promotes you more than me. Always remember that. You don't want me to promote myself? You don't want me to promote myself? I'll just stop promoting in general. I'll just stop promoting in general. I'll stop promoting. I'll stop promoting. What do you think of this sweater?

I think it's nice. I think you look great.

Thank you.

So much. Do you want to tell everyone? Have you spoken on Good Guys about how you're off of Zempik?

We might have briefly. I have been off of Zempik, though, for- Couple of weeks. -six weeks now. A couple of weeks. How's that going? It's going well. I've recently started a fitness journey, I will say. And this is not a plug. I'm taking athletic greens every morning, and it's really... I'm so.

Freaking awake. I told everyone on the toes yesterday because AG1 was a sponsor.

I'm loving it. I'm loving it. And I think that that's really helping. I'm going to the gym. That said, what Ozenpik is really good at doing is quieting the brain at night where it's like, Hey, Tubby, stop eating. Stop eating. So that thought is now gone. So I'm having trouble again from the 09:00 PM to 12:00 AM time slot, which many of you may be able to relate to.

You know shit is off the rails when Ben walks into the room with his nerd's robe. No, what? Nerd's clusters. That's Ben's. Everybody has their thing. For me, it's an Entomint's chocolate chip cookie. I don't care if I'm on Death's Door. If you offer me an Entomint's chocolate chip cookie, I will eat the whole box. That's my thing. Your thing, very weirdly, because it's not even savory or good, is nerd clusters.

Yeah, the nerds clusters are really good. Ice cream is really good. And the problem is I can't have a spoon of ice cream. No, you can't. I have a pint. And I can't have a gummy cluster. I have a bag. So I need to stop bringing this stuff into the home.

That's what I told you.

I.

Know. Every time Ben orders a Go-Puff, we know we're.

In trouble. I know. I order 9,000 things on Go Puff, shut up.

Go Puff. So all in all, how would you describe the post-Ozempic? Because that's what everybody wants to know.

It's great. Look, it's completely doable. I'm up one pound in six weeks, and that's only because I'm just not being mentally strong enough, but I can do it. And I will continue to lose weight post Ozempic. I'm in the gym. I'm feeling so much better.

What everybody knows my fitness journey is the Soto method. I'm very loyal to the Soto method. I don't try a bunch of different... I'm not the type of girl like I need to do one manageable workout and I really like the Soto method. What are you doing?

I'm doing the live method. Oh, of course, right. Same as Margo. Matt owns the gym. He's my trainer, and he's the best. He explains it to me in ways that I really like to understand it. He tells me the chemistry behind it and why we're doing certain things over other things. And we're working on stretching me out, making me longer because I'm so tight. We're also strengthening my big toe. I didn't know I had a weak big toe, but that's why I'm a little bit pigeon-toed because I.

Have a lot- Oh, my God. If this trainer can fix your pigeon-toed, and I am not always tripping over your fucking feet, I swear to God, I will get that man a key to the city. If he can fix that, I will do anything he wants.

How are you going to get a key to the city?

That's the thing. I'll be so passionate. Don't make promises.

You make promises.

You can't keep it. Oh, please, honey, Dijon Bath?

Like a decade old. Who brings you back up?

Okay, let's talk about that. Anybody who listens to the show. I know we always have so many new listeners, so you might not know some of the history, but today we're going to explain. But OG, Girlies will remember that Ben made a promise on the internet. What was the goal you.

Needed to achieve?

One decade ago. You needed to achieve?

It was 100,000 likes on this post.

Ben said if you got 100,000 likes on this post.

He would- A different Instagram.

He would take a bath, but instead of water, it would be honey mustard.

Feasibly, it just doesn't... There was no way to do it. I never intended not to do it. I just want to let you all know. That does not... I would do it.

Right, so no, by the way- Where the hell- I would give a key to.

The city. Okay, fine. Totally. If I could do it. God, I can't throw bullets. I can't shoot bullets if I'm not ready to take them.

Those in glass houses. I shouldn't throw stones.

My God. Okay, you're right. You're 100 % right. Thank you. Give him the key to the city.

No, I'm just saying I didn't know that your toe thing had anything to do with you maybe not being in the best shape.

Yeah. I'm relying too much on the front pad of my foot, not enough on the toe. The toe is what keeps it in a straight line, balanced. I love that. So working on my balance. We're doing some dead lifts. We're really strength training, so watch out, folks. No, I love that. I'm hoping to get a little ripped.

I really like, I think, for both of us, some people get into fitness early on, and it's a huge part of their life. Fitnessance becomes so exclusive, and it's very hard. It's inaccessible. And I think it's really hard to find trainers or programs that feel like they're good for beginners, because it's almost just like an inner circle, and it's like you have to work hard to get in.

I think that the key is, and not enough people talk about this, when you're fat, you don't have the mental motivation to go to the gym.

No, and there's also so many elements, especially as a girl. You don't want to be in tight clothes in front of people. You don't want to do a class because you can't keep up and you feel embarrassed.

But what everybody wants you to do is go hard in the gym and eat really well. I'm telling you the key, eat really well for six months. Go on Ozemic. Don't go on Ozemic. Whatever you want to do. Lose 30 pounds, just eating and then try going to the gym and it will be so much easier mentally, physically, emotionally. The idea of going to the gym when you're at your fattest is not the right way to get somebody to stay in the gym.

It would be great. And sometimes I think, Damn, I wish I started going to the gym when I started my whole health journey, which was a year ago and I only started going to the gym four months ago. But I know that was never... That's not a possibility for me. I was so unhappy in my body, and I was so embarrassed. I don't think I would have been able to do five minutes on the treadmill. It's also just hard. It would have been disheartening and discouraging.

The moves would have been much harder too. Of course. That's what I'm saying.

Okay, so we actually have a lot to do today. We need to stop dilly-dally-ing. Ben, I have one question for you. Are you ready for the first five stories that you need to know?

I'm ready, but can we beat the crunch?

Okay. Wait, let's get... Okay. Are you ready for the Fast Five stories that you need to know?

Why aren't you going? Oh, take a bite out of your... That's why.

We do crunch. Oh, wait. What are we saying? Oh, here are the Fast Five stories that you need to know before you take a bite out of your morning toast. I let.

You in. I definitely beat it. What do you mean you let me win?

I let you in.

By the way. By the way, I'm sorry. Removing that, it was like removing a piece of the toast soul.

I know, but we aren't the morning toast anymore.

And because the toast soul has been removed, listen to good guys. We wouldn't do that to you if we had.

A staple. By the way, talk to me when you've been around for seven years.

True.

I'm trying to tell you the truth. This show that is rooted in history is brought to you by State Farm. The State Farm personal price plan helps you create an affordable price just for you. The plan is all about being personal to you and your needs. And that means you're getting the coverage you want, a policy that helps cover what's important to you, and an affordable price just for you. Because, after all, life is just better when you can personalize your experiences. So think about it like this. From your go-to-coffee order to your favorite pair of sweatpants, we know you love to personalize your entire day. We're always saying here at The Toast, so many things are so personal. Comedy, food, poetry, insurance. I mean, what's more personal than insurance?

Nothing.

Speaking of, I know you saw me hanging out with Jake from State Farm. I did. Did you feel threatened in.

Any way? I did, especially because he only comes at 3:00 in the morning.

He's really like a celebrity. I know we joke that you are, but he.

Really is. Did you feel- I don't have to joke that I am.

Did you feel threatened?

No, I didn't feel threatened. I'm a legitimate celebrity. We hobnob. Me and him, me and Jake.

Are you worried?

Yeah. About me.

And Jake? No, I'm worried about me and Jake.

I'm very taken by him. I'm going to come to me at 3:00 in the morning, and then you'll feel left out.

Personalization just makes everything that much better. State Farm believes insurance should work the same way. Your plan, your coverage, your selections can all be personalized by you. Because think about all the things in your life that you care about: your home, your car, your family, flooding, wherever you live. So many things are so detailed and personal to you and your life situation in State Farm understands that. So like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. Price is vary by state. Options selected by customer availability and eligibility may vary. Let me try that one more time. Like a good neighbor.

State Farm is there.

Oh my, that's stunk. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

Let me clear. No, do it again.

Go. Okay. Today's episode is also brought to you by ZocDoc. Have you ever been on the hunt for a new doctor? And you ask literally everyone you know for the recommendation? You know a doctor who actually listens to you, listens, who understands you and makes you feel very comfortable? Well, after finally weeks of searching, you find the one. So you call their office, make an appointment, but then the receptionists tell you that the doctor doesn't take your insurance. So ZocDoc is getting rid of all the torture of finding a new doctor. That's a weird part of being older, nobody talks about it. You need so many different doctors for different things. And where do you find doctors? Especially doctors that don't have a six-month waiting list or doctors that don't take your insurance. That's where ZocDoc comes in. It's a free app where you can find amazing doctors and book appointments online. We're talking about booking appointments with thousands of top rated patient review doctors and specialists. You can filter specifically for ones who take your insurance, who are located near you, and treat almost any condition you're searching for. These doctors have all verified reviews from actual, real patients.

They are not bots. And the average wait time to see a doctor booked on ZocDoc is between just 24 and 48 hours. Because sometimes for me, when my tendinitis is acting up, I can't be wasting time waiting for a doctor's appointment. You can even score same day appointments. So once you find the doctor you want, you can book them immediately with just a few taps in their app. No more waiting awkwardly on hold with the receptionist. Zocdoc was a great resource when Jackie moved. That's one of the things you don't think about when you move. It's like, I got to find all new doctors. So go to zacdoc. Com/toast and download the Zacdoc app for free. Then find and book a top rated doctor today. That's zocdoc. Com. Zocdoc. Com/toast. Zacdoc. Com/toast. Zocdoc. Com/toast. Today's episode is also brought to you by Modern Fertility. Think back to sex ed for a moment. You probably learned all about how to prevent pregnancy, but what about how to plan for it? We've always been big fans of planning ahead, scheduling trips months in advance, plotting our next career moves, figuring out what we're doing for dinner while we're having breakfast.

But if you've never given much thought to planning for kids, that's what modern fertility is all about. It's an easy and affordable way to test your fertility hormones at home with a simple finger prick. Mail it in with a prepaid label, and you'll get your personalized results within six business days. You'll get insight into your hormone levels like your ovarian reserve and other important factors that can impact your fertility. The results go very deep into what every hormone means, and you can also download the results to review with your doctor for next steps. Traditional hormone testing at a fertility clinic can cost over $600 most of the time even more than that. But modern fertility tests the same general set of hormones for only $179. And when you go to modernferility. Com/toast, you can get $20 off your test. Also, another great benefit is that you can get reimbursed for the test through your FSA or your HSA. So if you want kids today or maybe one day in the future, clinically sound information about your body can help you make the decision that's right for you. So right now, Modern Fertility is offering our listeners $20 off the test when you go to modernferility.

Com/toast. That means your test will cost $159. It is a fraction of the cost of what it would be at a fertility clinic. So get $20 off your fertility test when you go to modernferility. Com/toast. That's modernfertility. Com/toast. Modernfertility. Com/toast. All right, Benny, are you ready for these stories?

I am quickly. You'll notice that I'm wearing my glasses and not wearing my contacts. Would you like to know why?

No, but.

Go off, King. I ran out of contacts. They gave me a sample pack, right? I went to 1-800 contacts to order them. Thought that they were ordered last week. Canceled my order this morning out of the blue. It's disgusting. I didn't.

Even know why.

They don't want you to say- And now I have no contacts and there's no way. Why can't I walk into a store and get contacts? Why is it so hard? You can walk into a glasses store. Where the fuck do.

People buy contacts? That's actually an amazing call. The purchasing of contacts is so needlessly laborious.

You need to have a guy. It's like drugs. Totally. I need my contact dealer. What are.

You nuts? It's a great call. It's a great What are you nuts?

Terrible.

Okay, ready for our stories? In no particular order. There's no one big story today, but they're all very impactful. Hit me with them. This first one is devastating news.

Tell me.

Young Sheldon will end with season seven at CBS. The series finale date has been set. Fuck. So Young Sheldon will end its run at CBS with its upcoming season seven. The Big Bang Theory prequel series is set to return on February 15th with a one hour series finale set to air on May 16th. The season will be shorter than those before due to the truncated nature of the 2023-2024 because of the sag strike.

So it's ending and we get a short season?

So here's what the CBS person said. As a prequels to one of the biggest comedies, Young Sheldon proved lightning can strike twice. It set itself apart with a remarkable cast that felt like a family from the first moment we saw them on screen and brought characters to life with unique, heartfelt stories that drew audiences in from the start. We extend a sincere thank you to the executive producers Chuck Loar, Steve Melarow and Steve Holland, and the entire writing and producing teams for six wonderful seasons. We look forward to seeing their final season unfold and giving a proper send-off with the best episodes yet for their fans to enjoy.

Is it.

Lore or Laurie?

I don't know. I only asked because this person saying we prove that we can strike lightning in a battle twice on the same show? No. Chuck Loar or.

Laurie, genius. You know, when his name is on something like, you know everyone on the show is getting rich. So good. I mean, you're right. We're being robbed because not only is this precious show ending, it's a shorter season due to a strike. So we're just screwed.

We're screwed. And if you don't watch Young Sheldon, and I'll go as far as to say you don't watch The Big Bang Theory.

I don't watch.

The Big Bang Theory. She doesn't. And that's because you, for whatever reason, have this preconceived notion that these aren't.

Cool shows. No, The Big Bang Theory is a show for Losers.

No.

It's not. And it's a losery show, and it's horrible. Even after I got into Young Sheldon, I gave Big Bang Theory another try. I can't believe it's one of the... It's bigger than.

Modern family. You never got into it. It's like the people that are writing comments to us saying, I watched because we recently started Gospel Girl. I'm sure you've been talking about that with them, rewatching Gospel Girl. People are like, I couldn't get through the first three episodes. They're so cringe. Like, Yeah, have you watched The Friends, Pilot? Have you watched Seinfeld's first episode? You need to give these iconic shows at least a season or two just to let them... There's a reason these shows are so popular.

No, for sure. But saying you need to give a show two seasons before it gets good, well, then we can all disagree. It's a bad show. Two seasons are unbearable.

So then not before it gets good. Maybe start on season two and Wikipedia what happened in season one just because the acting gets better. These people get closer. I just.

Have no interest in Big Bang Theory. None of the characters speak to me. None of the actors speak to me. I don't like.

Big Bang Theory. Fine. Young Sheldon, which really is-.

Which is better?

They're very different. I think Young Sheldon is a more well-rounded show.

It's such a.

Pure show. Big Bang Theory is funnier. Young Sheldon, it's actually an amazing show.

It's one of the best shows I've seen, and the fact that it is ending is obviously devastating. But the whole concept of the show is that it's a prequels. So it couldn't go on forever because there's another show at some point, and it's about Young Sheldon. And in the beginning, the first couple of seasons are the best because the kid who plays Young Sheldon is maybe eight years old. He's the cutest kid ever. And he grows up and he gets to high school and kids go through that awkward stage. And it's not like this cute little young Sheldon anymore. It's like a grown, prepubescent teen. And it definitely changes the vibe of.

The show. It definitely does. But it's about so much more than Sheldon. His grandma, his dad.

Who would you say is your favorite character? For me, it's the dad, George Cooper, hands down.

Yeah, between Mima and George Cooper.

I don't know who though.

Mima's great too. I can tell you emphatically that my least favorite character is Mary Cooper.

I disagree. My least favorite character is actually Sheldon.

Oh, no. Look, the show is here because of him.

But he's still... That happens a lot though.

With big shows. Right now it's not great.

That is always what happens with big shows. The person who the show is about, Carrie Bradshaw, is the worst, most insufferable character, Susan from.

Desperate Housewives. No, you're right.

That always happens.

You're absolutely right.

I tend to be.

Absolutely.

Right. I forgot to put on underwear today.

You forgot to.

Put on underwear? Yes, wearing sweatpants without underwear is weird.

Just.

Sharing. So this is devastating. Yes. Rip, young Sheldon. But I'm looking forward to the final season. I'm sure it'll be great.

I too am looking forward. And if you haven't watched it, you should.

Really give it a try. It was probably... Well, we also just got off The Nanny, and we're doing Gossip Girl. These have been great rewatches. And I did tell everyone on The Toast yesterday that you've never seen The OC.

I haven't, no.

And that you absolutely must. Oh, somebody told me, because we were talking about yesterday how we think about the OC, and we forget that... Because it's a show about these rich kids who live in OC in Orange County. And the show is actually very Jewish because the family that it follows, the Coens, are Jewish. But you don't think of it as a Jewish show like you would think that Annie. And somebody pointed out that the creator or writer, I think his name is Josh Horowitz, of the OC, actually eventually left the OC and went to Gossip Girl. Because we were watching Gossip Girl and there's so many Jewish references and Israel references in a positive way. And we were like, This is so random. Even though it's a show about New York and all the Jews live in New York. But I think that's why, because of that guy.

Interesting. By the way, we need to talk to him.

He's great. He's a good show. Give everyone a quick what are your thoughts on.

Gossip Girl? I love it. I've always loved it, though. I loved the original watch. And the rewatch, though, you're looking at this and you're like, I was really allowed to watch this when I was 14.

Yeah.

With Cocaine. They're like blowing lines.

It's.

Nuts. It's insane. And it's like following these kids as they're supposed to be 16.

If we were the same age.

As them. Yeah, it definitely was crazy to watch Gossip Girl in high school thinking that this is what kids did in high school. Crazy. That said, such a good show. They're all really great actors. And Blaire Waldof is the best character.

By far. Was it a part of your high school experience? Because for me, where I went to high school is where they filmed Gossip Girl. They filmed in the city all around the Upper East Side. And during our free periods or during lunch on our BlackBerrys, there would be people on New York, if they were filming, you would find out instantly and you could take your free period. And literally, part of my life was following them around and hoping to see one of them coming out of their trailer.

Did you do that? Not to the same extent, but I do remember.

That, yes. It was just like a part of everyday life when we were in high school.

It was, and it definitely fed into BlackBerry BBM culture. Yes. Big time.

Did you have your BBM pin memorized?

I did, yes. I don't remember it anymore though. Me neither. But I did.

It'd be crazy if you remembered it. I did. All right, we have a little bit more TV news. Tell me. Shocking. Bobby Burke is leaving Queer Eye after season eight. So a member of the Fab Five is saying goodbye. Bobby Burke is officially leaving the Netflix series after season eight. The designer who stars on the show alongside Carammo, Tan, Anthony, and Jonathan, announced on November 13th, he said it's not been an easy decision to be at peace with, but it's a necessary one. Although my journey with Queer Eye is over, my journey with you is not. You will be seeing more of me very soon. The love that I've received from you all over the last six years has been absolutely surreal. You have tuned in and been dedicated fans, and together we were able to share the healing powers of design. I learned from you all about kindness, love, and acceptance, and that has changed my life for the better. Basically just being like, Love you. I'm out. Now there's a multitude of things going on here. I think everybody is curious. What's the T?

I mean, Young Sheldon only gets seven seasons, but Queer Eye gets eight.

By the way, it's also crazy because when Queer Eye came out, seasons one and two, do you remember the chokehold it had us in? We were laying in bed crying.

Yeah.

And I feel like nobody watches it anymore.

I definitely have not watched it since season two.

Right. And I'm surprised that they're on season eight. Me too. But also what I'm surprised by is there have been rumors about some of the guys not getting along. It's pretty much known that Carama and Anthony really didn't get along in the beginning. They just did not. They were just different guys. So the fact that Bobby is the one leaving is shocking. Now, of course, everybody's making jokes. Bobby was the chef? No, Bobby is the one who literally builds them houses.

Why did I.

Think he was a chef? Anthony is the chef. Anthony is the chef, I'm sorry. Bobby is the blonde one who literally, on the episode, Carama takes him.

Oh, yeah, he's the one I remember. -does all the work. -he does all the work, but they don't ever.

Show him. No, and then they all just come up and take a brand new house.

Yeah. By the way, I would leave if I.

Was Bobby, too. Yeah, maybe.

He's tired. Totally. Of doing everything, but getting none of the air time.

So true. But also, I feel like I could see Netflix giving him his own design job. Totally, yeah. That's what he deserves. And I have to say, I met Bobby, literally the nicest guy. I don't think he's like a diva who can't get along with people because I met him at E-news. We were just in the same green room, and he was so nice, and he had no idea who or what I was. He just thought I probably was some assistant. Really nice.

Love it. Yeah, he should get his own show.

But I do wonder if they're going to replace him. Because I remember when they were casting for Queer Eye, a friend of mine who's gay and a hairdresser in LA was talking about the casting. It is the role of a lifetime. Every gay, hairstylist, interior designer, chef, it's like the dream job because you become really a cultural icon. And the fact that anyone would walk away from it is shocking to me, unless he had a bigger opportunity, because it is one of the best jobs in Hollywood. You just become so famous. So I wonder if this means they're going to replace him or they're no longer going to be doing houses. But the thing about Queer Eye in the original show, it's a Fab Five. There's always five of them. So I do think they're going to replace him. So who is like a Fab gay interior designer? But the thing.

Is-are the Scott Brothers?

Are either of them gay? No. Good guess, though. But the thing is about the show is that nobody knew these guys before the show, so they don't plot famous people.

True.

But maybe an Instagram designer. I'm trying to think. Sound off in the comments who you think would be a good replacement. But this is shocking news. And I wonder if he'll be the first to fall.

Yeah. Oh, true. It could be a domino effect. Down goes Queer Eye.

Down goes Queer Eye. Wow. All right, are you ready for our next story? This is a story I've been keeping up with a lot, and I'm shook by. We talked about it maybe two weeks ago. The hockey incident in the UK.

This has a chokehold on you. To me, it's the craziest thing. Every night. No, it's definitely crazy. But every single night, Claudia is like, There's a new development in this guy who flung his skate. I mean, a guy died on the ice. Nut. It was in the UK?

It was in the UK. And what was so crazy is that... I guess nobody really... Me, at least, I never put together that there are blades on your skates and you're not wearing a protector of your neck. I never put that together. I just assumed the hockey leads would have figured it out, neckguards.

It's not a neck guard, but your helmet does come down. There isn't a lot of room. It's a very, very bad freak accident. But the skate easily could have hit him in the face.

Right, the fact that there was in the neck. But there are neck guards. That's like a part of hockey equipment, but they're optional, and they shouldn't be.

Yeah.

Really dumb. Really dumb. Yeah. So a man has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after the ice hockey player's death. Authorities have released new details on their investigation into the death of Adam Johnson. Two weeks after, the ice hockey player was fatally injured during a game. A man has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. The South Yorkshire police announced on November 14th, The unnamed person remains in custody. Wait, who else would it be? Why are they saying the man, unnamed?

I don't know. Also the South Yorkshire-.

This happened in the UK.

Yeah, I'm saying it sounds so cool.

Johnson, a member of the British professional club of the Nottingham Panthas, was playing in the Challenge Cup match at Utilitiya Arena, Sheffield. On October 28th, when he collided with a member of the opposing team, appearing to suffer an injury to the neck. The following day, Johnson's team shared that he passed away. According to a November 14th press release from authorities, a post-mortem examination confirmed that the 29-year-old died as a result of the fatal neck injury. Our investigation launched immediately following this tragedy, and we have been carrying out our extensive inquiries ever since to piece together the events which led to the loss of Adam in these unprecedented circumstances. The detective chief superintendent said in the press release, We've been speaking with a highly specialized expert in their field to assist in our inquiries and continue to work closely with the Health and Safety Department of the Sheffield City Council, which is supporting our ongoing investigation. I guess they haven't commented on who was arrested, but I think we can all assume it's the other player.

The one who put his skate in the guy's neck?

Yeah, this is like so crazy. I was reading tweets and a lot of people think this was intentional.

I don't. I saw the video you showed it to me this morning. Google the video.

Yeah.

Because it's really not that gruesome.

It's not graphic, but it's just crazy to see like-.

You see what's happening? You see that he.

Went- He lifted his leg above.

The head. For sure. -above his head. He went to kick him, which is fucked up when you're literally wearing a knife on your foot. That said, if you kick him in the chest, the padding is nothing. You kick him in the helmet, the padding is nothing. It's fucked up. It's not manslaughter.

No. So a lot of people do think it's intentional, and I don't agree with that. I do think this was a really reckless accident. I think he wanted to kick him or hurt him, but not kill him, obviously. But how do you reconcile that with the fact that somebody just lost their son? No, it's terrible. And his family's been very public there distraught over this. It shouldn't have happened.

Of course they are. But not to victim blame. You got to wear the neck guard.

But the thing is, when it's not made optional, it's not like he wears it.

Totally, but now they need to.

But so now this should be for the NHL, for everybody. This really needs to.

Be a way of- You have a blade on your foot.

It's.

Insane that it was optional. Or your.

Helmet should literally be attached to your shoulders. It should be one whole thing.

Or some better tech. It doesn't need to be so bulky. There's definitely, if you think about... What's that? Wiring? Not like chicken wire, but like something, right? It's thin where if you kick through it, it doesn't break the seal. It's a terrible story.

It is. It's a terrible story. He had a life partner.

It's a.

Terrible story. So sad. Honestly, just crazy. I didn't know something like this could happen.

Yeah, it's funny. I remember we all go ice skating as kids. You do think about that with the blade. It's like a knife. It's like a knife. And if it's not like a knife, you can't skate. It needs to be as sharp as humanly.

Possible for you to.

Glide on the ice.

Why are we sliding on knives? What's wrong with roller blades?

You can't put roller blades on ice.

Yeah, you would just have the floor.

Yeah, I understand.

Floor hockey, I remember that.

Now, but instead of taking away the blade, I think you take away, like what.

We said. No, but the fact that this was even a sheer possibility is such a shanda.

It has to have happened before.

I don't.

Think so. I do.

And if immediate change does it, like for all leagues, I know hockey is really big in Canada, in the NHL, everybody should be looking towards this as a huge red flag.

And they now need to show Blades of Glory in schools. Remember Blades of Glory?

I never.

Seen it. The reason why I forget the name of the trick, You've never seen Blades of Glory with Will Ferrell? You're lying. Okay, figure skating movie. Unbelievable. He makes it to the finals, whatever. And this incredible trick that nobody has tried since this guy had his head chopped off by a blade.

Oh, my God.

They literally- Yeah, because he spins in the air, his blade is up. He flips him.

It's.

Dead. But obviously, Will Ferrell does it- Crashes it. -un-saved. -of course. I don't remember the name of the.

Trick, but- Will Ferrell is so funny.

Probably the funniest guy of all time.

That's such a crazy movie. He's a figure skater.

No, he's unbelievable. Yeah, you're unbelievable. Another movie that everybody should see. It's so funny. I don't see the classics.

-no, Ben had never.

Seen my cousin.

-these are my classics. Ben had never seen my cousin Vinny up until recently.

Okay, I had never seen my cousin Vinny up until like six years ago.

Yeah, when I found that out and made you watch.

It that day. Yeah, great movie. No, but it's a glory.

Okay, you ready for our next story? It's a little.

Sad news. Ready for it? By the way, more sad than the person dying on the ice.

Well, somebody did die. Oh, wow.

Morbid show.

Well, he didn't... Recently did. Well, he did... It's not news, Matthew Perry. And now some of the friends have come out with their tributes, and of course, everybody's just heartbroken. So Courtney Cox has shared a poignant tribute to Matthew Perry after his death. She shared a tribute to her friend's co-star two weeks after his shocking death. She wrote, I'm so grateful for every moment I had with you, Maddie, and I miss you every day. She included a clip of one of her favorite friend scenes with Matthew Perry from the season four finale, in which Ross finds Monica and Chanler in bed together. To give a little backstory, Chanler and Monica were supposed to have a one-night fling in London, but because of the audience's reaction, it became the beginning of their love story. In this scene, before we started rolling, he whispered a funny line for me to say, He often did things like that. He was funny and he was kind. The actress, who noted that there are thousands of moments she could revisit, uploaded her post just hours after Matt Le Blanc became the first Friends star to take to social media since the loss.

So we've now gotten tributes from Monica and from Joey. This is just like- Stinks.

This is just one of the saddest stories.

Yeah, it is.

And I don't believe it's fully been confirmed how he passed, which is crazy.

It is. And we spoke about this on Good Guys. I was one of those people that definitely jumped the gun into the force. Me too. Like an addict.

No, I said.

He lost his battle with addiction. Must have lost his battle with addiction. I don't even know if that's true.

No, by the way, it's not. I felt so bad after saying that because it was just like a dumb assumption. For sure. I'm actually reading his book for my book club. I haven't started it yet, but I know a lot of it is about, of course, his journey to sobriety, but also the work that he did after he became sober. He opened up with his own money, like all these facilities for men struggling with addiction. And so I hate that I assumed.

Yeah, especially not thinking through... Again, I don't want to guess his cause of death. That's not a good use of- Game to play. Yeah, exactly. But everybody knows that hot tubs are low key dangerous. I know. You're cooking your body. And if you had an Olympic size hot tub in your own house, you'd probably spend a lot of time in it. Of course. And you're and you don't realize how hot you're getting and you overheat. You can faint. I've gotten out of hot tubs and felt light headed.

I have gotten out of a hot tub, remember? Yeah, of course I do. And I literally threw up, fainted.

Yeah, because you're cooking your body at 104 degrees for an extended period of time. And it is very plausible for one to pass out and drown.

No, and thank God right. I was in a house full of people, and you threw me in the pool. The cold pool.

I did, yeah.

And I instantly felt better. But he was probably.

Alone, I think. Yeah, and when I think about that, it makes the story 10 times sadder, because if he battled addiction his entire life, overcame it, and then died in a freak accident. Regardless, it's terrible, but it's very- I know. -very, very, very, very sad and hard and stinks.

I know. I'm actually really excited to read his book because I think it's a really good combo. Of course, he was at one point in time, the most famous person in the country. He dated Julia Roberts, and I'm sure he has all these amazing friend stories and Hollywood stories. Then there's also this really dark side of it where he said he used to pretend to be a prospective buyer and go to open houses and go to people's houses and steal their prescription pills. That's how bad his addiction was. So I think it's probably a really good combo in terms of a book.

Yeah. It's definitely... I would read it, but- If you knew how to. -i can't read it, so. Yeah, that's so sad. I can't read.

Are you ready for our fifth and final story? A little crack-hole news.

Ready, Freddie.

So Courtney, potassium and Travis Bark are making waves because she was wishing Travis a happy birthday on Instagram, and she shared pictures of this photoshoot that I did. I believe it was some pregnancy shoot, and it's very NSFW. He's holding her titties. That's not really NSFW because she's pregnant. It was really just meant to be very rockery, but also pregnant. And there are a few pictures that I think caught the attention of a lot of people. And for me, it was this one. Let me show it to you. And I'll show it to the YouTube as well. Oh. Yeah. So if you haven't seen it, it's Travis and Courtney. They're hugging each other. So we see Courtney's back and we see Travis hugging her from the front. And as he's hugging her, we see him with his hands basically in her ass. So this is a conversation we actually had last week about butt touching. And we came up with this little limerick called cheek crack hole. Because if you're going to be grabbing someone's ass in a photo, hand on the cheek is obviously the best. Totally. Yeah. Crack, because we saw a video of Leonard DiCapiro's girlfriend literally putting her fingers in his crack.

It's a little dirtier, but it's not as bad as whole. Now, would you categorize this photo of Travis and Courtney as cheek, crack, or whole?

The problem is, I'm sure it was cheek. That said, you cannot see his entire hand. It's giving hole. So I have nothing to say but whole.

It's giving a whole. Yeah, it has to be. Which, according to the toast, is the worst type. It goes cheek.

Crack, hole. Yeah, and I don't think that hole is reserved for a.

Private place.

I would agree. Hole is reserved for a.

Private place. Between two consenting adults.

Yes. So yes, that is an intense photograph.

Now.

Should we- And I wish them well.

-should we recreate these photos, in your opinion? Sure. But it's my hand.

Yeah, your hand. Okay, so we'll be going cheek. We'll be.

Going cheek.

Yeah, we'll be going cheek. Yeah. Cheek is nice. Unless we can get like Charming sponsorship or like a... Oh, dude wipes.

Call me. Yeah, that's a good idea. Right? Cheek.

Crack. Crack. Oh, hole.

It's like a song if you want it to be. Yeah, it's pretty good.

Cheek, crack, hole. It sounds like Jimmy Crack Corn.

Cheek, crack, hole, and I don't care. I love that.

Cheek crack-hole and I don't care. Cheek crack hole and I don't care. Cheek crack hole and I don't... Cheek crack hole and I don't care.

Say cheek crack hole five times fast.

Cheek crack hole, cheek crack hole, cheek crack hole, cheek crack hole. You pretty much did it. It's really not that hard. And those were the.

Fast five. And the absolutely amazing news is that we still have a little bit of show left because it is Dear Toasters, our weekly advice segment where people write in and we do our best to get through as many as we can. Today we'll do three submissions. And let me let you know.

Are you ready for Deer Toasters?

Ready.

All right, so if you guys ever want to write in, it's deertoaster@gmail. Com, or you can head to thetoastpodcast. Com. It's all anonymous, and we can help you. This one's funny. Hi, Swirlies. I love my girlies and the advice that you give others. So when this was brought to my attention, I knew I needed to turn to the turt and the Jacks for help. Sad for her, she didn't get turty and Jacks. She got turty and BSC. So let me just say this straight. I cannot eat leftovers. It's a long-term phobia that I just can't explain. This year, I'm hosting Thanksgiving and my in-laws are driving six hours to visit. I recently learned that my mother-in-law has already made stuffed an apple pie over two weeks before Thanksgiving. Who knows what else she'll bring into? A whole ass cooked turkey? I've been really looking forward to both Thanksgiving staples and not to mention that I'm pregnant, but now I simply can't and I simply shant. Is it rude to make or buy my own day of, or do I just not eat it? What would Jacks and Claude do? Girl, just buy an extra pie, because Thanksgiving is one of those things you can never have too much.

Also look, my mother-in-law bought a pie? Oh, but I also got one from Publics. It's so not a big deal.

True. Thanksgiving is buffet.

That's true. You always have.

Extra food. And by the way, I don't like leftovers either, but sometimes I will have them. You do like leftovers. I like chili leftovers, certain things. You like all leftovers. No, certain things. I never take food from a restaurant.

No, you like leftovers. If we ordered something in, you will eat it.

The next day. It depends on what it is. I'm very particular. But I don't think this has anything to do with leftovers. Is somebody cooking something two weeks in advance?

That's disgusting. I thought about it, it's actually not disgusting. It's the same exact way that you can freeze anything. And what she probably did, because it's a six-hour drive, she probably made the pie, right? Froze it immediately, and then took the pie, and the pie will still be frozen by the time she gets there. It's definitely not... It's not going to be a gray pie, I'm not going to lie. The real problem here is that your mother-in-law is cooking you shit food. If you're making it two weeks in advance, it's just unnecessary.

What pie is worth all that... I'm in trouble. When literally, a store bought pie and not even like a fancy bakery, Publix pie, like so good. You heat it up in the oven. There's literally no reason you should ever make a pie. I stand by what I said.

No, so you can make a pie. That I totally disagree with, especially as a celebrity chef, we need to make our own pies. That said, the amount of grief that you are going to get from this mother-in-law, not only driving six hours, but making you a two-week pie and you're not going to like the pie. Good fricking luck, lady.

By the way, know how many people are coming to your Thanksgiving? Is she going to be watching what you eat? Also, you're pregnant. Anybody who attacks a pregnant woman, period. I missed that part. Or for what she eats, straight to hell.

Totally. Straight to hell. And just figure out what type of pie it is and say that it's just revolting you as a pregnant woman. You can't do apples anymore, right? That's like an easy excuse.

I'm sorry, I was reading The Steer Toasters, and it's really crazy. Go. Hey, girlies. I need your help. Oh, just back to that girl. Eat whatever the fuck you want. I need your help. I've been dating a guy for six months. He has been a total hijom. We are in love and things have been getting really serious. But I Snoop through his phone recently and I'm shook. Fuck around and find out. Early in our relationship, he bought me five sets of laundry, which I thought was so sweet and a very sexy gesture. Well, after looking through the photos in his phone, I found out that a girl he dated shortly before me was the one he bought those for. Tons of picks of her in the exact same laundry. I'm assuming he didn't repurchase these for me, and I've been wearing her stuff, but either way, I got the irk. Also, why are these photos still on his phone? What do I do? I'm a nut you like sharing vagina pads with this girl. That's so unsanitary. I doubt he washed them.

By the way, it's impossible that the same. He didn't break up with a girl and say, Give me my lingerie back. Oh, that's true. I'm confident that it's different. He just is a creep for sure, but not the level of creep that maybe you think he is. This is new lingerie.

It has to be. By the way, that's a very good point. He wouldn't ask for the laundry.

Right back. No, that's disgusting.

Yeah, but maybe he went over so well with the.

First girl. Yeah, maybe it was just she really liked it. She found it sexy. He thought that you would really like it. You'd find it sexy. Why does he still have it on his phone?

Right, the fact that he copied the same gift isn't a crime. It's just men being unoriginal. But where I think the problem lies within the photos still being on the phone.

Yeah, but also how old are these photos? How recent is this? We're again missing information. How old is this? How did you find them? To be honest, if you're Snooping back seven years and you find something, that's on you. I'm sorry.

That's why you shouldn't Snoop. You're never going to find something that's going to make.

You happy. You shouldn't Snoop. You shouldn't Snoop.

Agreed. But you did. So now what do we do with this information? That's the lesson here for next time. But to.

Address this current situation- Now you certainly confront and you make sure that, yes, you're not sharing vagina to vagina laundromé just to make sure that you're not getting some disease from this X.

You have to admit that you Snooped. Yeah.

Sorry I Snooped. That said, what I found trumps the punishment for Snooping, and you need to.

Explain yourself. Yeah, now I've made myself sick, so you don't even have to punish me because I know I was wrong. But do confirm that these aren't the same exact panties, because that's literally one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard in my life. And then also just be like, Oh, and why do you still have these photos? Yeah. You've got yourself into this situation, and I'm afraid you're going to have to get yourself out because you really can't ignore this.

Yeah, no, it's definitelystrange. Yeah. It's definitely strange.

But I feel like he could explain... This doesn't sound like a crazy red flag to me. I think he could explain his way out of this where it would make sense, and he's not a bad guy.

Yeah, it's just like, I don't know, maybe I'm just so not the lingerie buying type.

No, you've never bought me lingerie.

You've never bought me underwear?

Actually, not true.

You have. Yeah. You want me to buy you undies?

No, undies are very personal.

That's what I'm saying. How do you buy somebody... It's just.

Strange to me. Because lingerie is not like underwear you.

Wear at work. Oh, you're saying that if I bought you laundry, that's not like buying undies.

No, it's different. That's what you wear for sexy time.

Yeah, but that's why I bought you your original skeleton pajamas from Target.

And that's why.

I love you. Isn't that our version of lingerie? Yes. Yeah, see? And that way, like... By the way, I would never, ever, ever, hypothetically speaking, if I had dated somebody else, I would never buy the same pair of pajamas for the two. It's personal. Thank you. By the way, this.

Guy, serial killer. Please stop talking about you dating other people. I know, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

-in Pittsburgh, USA. I know, I'm sorry.

Are you ready for our third and final of your toaster? Yes, yes, yes. Hey, gorgeous, girlies. I'm a long-time toaster, OG, brother. I live in New York City with my fiancé. He is a total pre-job. My parents still live in the childhood home in Connecticut that I grew up in. And while having lunch with them this past week, and they told me that they are leaving me the house and they plan to move in the next five years. The house is totally paid off, everything like that. Obviously, this may be so excited. The idea of living in my childhood home is so cozy to me. But also a house in this economy? No brainer. But my fiancé says he would feel weird about living in the house because it won't feel like ours. He thinks we should buy our own house when the moment comes. Am I crazy to be annoyed at this and think, What are you, nuts? Please help a girl convince him it's an amazing thing and get excited. Your fiancé, unless he's a Rockefeller, is a fucking moron. Yeah. Do you know how many young couples starting out in their life would literally kill to get a house.

Paid off in Connecticut? I'm not.

Starting on their life.

Paid off in Connecticut? I'll take the house. No, at any- Let me take the house.

What a gift your parents have given you.

My God. No, exactly. Your fiancé is an idiot. Yeah, he's definitely an idiot. Huge red flag. Yeah.

Unless he comes from major money, and money isn't an option here.

No, it doesn't sound that way. No. And what I can say as a stubborn man who has moved begrugingly before, you'll fall in love with the house because men-.

When did you.

Move begrugingly? Not begrugingly, but there have been... Our last house, I didn't love as much as you. It's true. And then when we got there and we got into it and we made it ours, I loved it. This current apartment we both felt was unbelievable from the second we got there. I understand what you're saying. But that's rare, right? It's rare. Take the house. The guy is going to end up loving it. He's a moron. He's going to make it his own. And if you don't love it, in five years, you can always sell the house. No, of course.

But first of all, you should not sell a house that's completely paid off. Oh, I'm with you. Then you have to go and move to another house. And by the way, this is the house that your parents lived in their whole lives, so it's not a starter house. No. It's probably a big house. They raised all their kids there. And think of all the money you would put down on a down payment, on real estate taxes, fees. All right, so it's not your own? You'll make it your own. Put some renovations in, spend the money. Are you okay? No, he's not okay. Or honestly, maybe he just needs to hear an outside perspective. Maybe play this episode for him, and let me speak directly to him. Hey, fiancé, love you. You're a moron. Take this house. What a gift you've been given. Do you know many people buying a house, the mortgage every month, it weighs on them so heavily it affects their daily lives? You've been given a gift.

And yet- And probably conservatively knowing that it's in Connecticut, it can't be less than a few million dollar gift.

I would say the average home in Connecticut, a million dollars. -probably two million dollars. -depends on the neighborhood.

Probably two million dollars, regardless. If somebody came and gave you 700 grand.

Right. No, and let me speak directly to the girl. You're going to say no? Let me speak directly to the girl who wrote in. Do not let your fiancé sway this decision.

This is a non-swayable decision.

Honestly, take the house over the.

Man, always. It's a non-swayable decision.
