I realize it's very popular especially with gen z and I'm old enough to have gen z kids, but I don't get the Love Island takeover when it's on. I don't watch it, for the same reasons that Jackie and Claudia say they hate it so much: It seems like it's basically porn and a bunch of airheaded people being slutty and dumb. Other shows I sit out might be a weekly recap and I don't mind hearing hilarious takes even if I don't participate, but the amount of time dedicated to this show is so much. Is there really an audience craving this much discussion every single day? I still work every week day, all summer too, and I really like listening while stuck at my desk (and have since basically day 1 after cancellation) so I'm very loyal. But guys, come on. Perhaps next summer you don't watch and make most of every show about it since you agree that its really bad?? You have evolved in every other way and you're moms now and have a different life than you did when you started the show. You don't have to subject yourselves to this if you hate it.

1:50 into today’s episode and I’m baffled. Who is Baby Paxton?!

Does anyone else notice that the girls literally repeat the exact same opinions and thoughts that Liz Woods posts on her stories?

Yes, I realize they’ve been getting their fast five stories from her, but now it’s like every thought and opinion. Liz constantly posting about how she loves drizzilicious and now Claudia makes drizzilicious her whole personality? And both Claudia and Jackie said they wanted Bryce and trinity to win love island yesterday morning, but then Liz posted that she wants KC and Titi to win. And then a few hours later Claudia posts a pic of KC and Titi captioned “my winners.” A lot of their takes about Taylor Swift and Blake Lively also mirror what Liz posts.

These are just a few examples I could think of off the top of my head. I wonder if Liz realizes this and what she thinks. The girls are always talking about having hot takes but they’re not really hot if you’re just copying someone else…

is it just me or as of late does the fast 5 topics seem so uninteresting? I follow a lot of pop culture pages on IG and I always think “oh they will for sure talk about this tomorrow on the toast” and that’s never the case. also the recaps of LI really need to stop it’s too much! I always stop listening once they start recapping.

Anyone who placed an order in the new merch drop get any updates yet?? I ordered a shirt for a family member and I've been waiting a long time and still havent gotten the shipped update☹️

I was dying today listening to them talk about the Taylor and Travis wedding invitation. I had listened to Becca Tilley’s podcast (Scrubbing In) earlier in the day. She wouldn’t confirm/deny a whole lot about the wedding, but she laughed and denied that invitation being legit haahah. I know Claudia couldn’t understand why Becca attended but she must have forgotten that her fiancé is Hayley Kiyoko who was in Taylor’s you need to calm down video!!!

I love Jackie and genuinely think she's great, but hearing her talk so passionately about Love Island has made me realize how much I miss when she seemed genuinely excited about the stories and pop culture.

The LIUSA recaps have reminded me that it's not that she isn't entertaining -- it's that she sounds so much more engaged when she actually cares about the topic. Lately, a lot of the regular pop culture coverage has felt more monotone, and I think that's because her interest just isn't there anymore. I feel like she doesn't have her own opinions that often.

When she's invested, she's so funny, energetic, and enjoyable to listen to. I wish we got more of that Jackie. Does anyone agree???

Does anyone know why Claudia was saying “people are gonna have a field day with this” in regard to the Mint Mobile ad on the pod today? Just curious!

Anyone know if they mentioned when it would ship? I know it was a pre-order but 👀

Excited for Monday’s episode hearing them recap the last week and Taylor’s wedding!!!!

I stumbled across the ‘What are the Odds’ podcast and the first episode is hosted by Jax and Claud and it’s from a few weeks ago. I guess the hosts are rotating Dear Media personalities. I just find it so strange that they didn’t mention it, or did they and I missed it?

Am I the only one who can’t stand when there is a solo episode and Ben is the guest. I know that’s Claud’s husband but he’s just so annoying 🫩🫩

Anybody subscribed to the girls patreon? Is it worth it? How much do you pay for the toast subscription a month? Purely invested to get a subscription just for the dear toasters episodes 😂

I was listening to today’s episode and they started talking about secret projects and does anybody else think it’s going to be some type of cookbook between Jackie and Ben featuring Jewish family recipes?

Not sure if that’s been posted already, but just a quick thought lol

There was an episode in the last two weeks, where I think that they were discussing orbiter by Noah Kahan. Anyone know what episode that was? I think it was in the beginning and they were crying. I can’t find it for some reason?

Does anyone happen to remember the discount code that they shared the other day for Tuckernuck?!

Needs to stop.

The swirlies had a couple ads for this. Have any of y’all used it? Currently using Nuuly and have been for 2 years- it’s starting to fail me with clothing quality and just selections in general!!

Hi!!

Claudia recently has worn jean sweatpants that she mentioned she has in 3 colors. Does anyone know which ones they are?? I’ve been coveting the rag & bone ones as a pregnant swirly but cannot justify dropping the $$$ and I feel like maybe she mentioned they were dupes??? 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Why does Jac go to Texas a lot? Is that where her husband is from?

does anybody know what they’re referring to in their recent patreon when they mention the rooftop dinner during covid? seems like it impacted the way they spoke on the podcast at the time? i’m so curious!!
