Toast, 26, provided one of the most memorable early posts on this blog. Last week he got in touch by calling me from the Reef and exclaiming that it was “crucially important” that we meet up. So i met him at Millie and Als for what he assured me was the “dankest pitcher deal.” It was absolutely true.
Casual Men: So, Toast, what’s the big news?
Toast: Dawg, i’m sayin, i saw the piece about me on the blog and i think it’s tight, foreal, my picture looks dope and i got the champagne. Its tight. But, i was lunchin a little bit because we did that joint like weeks ago and shit has HAPPENED man. Like i got a girl and shit.
CM: I mean, do you think that your character is different since then? I feel like we covered things that were essential to YOU, like your un-tucked shirt, your favorite chipotle…
Toast: Yo, i was not kidding about the Chipotle in Dupont Circle, IT IS THE MOST CRUCIAL ONE. Dawg, they straight double my barbacoa last time just cuz i asked them to. Nah man, foreal, like all that stuff about me deucing when i sublet my apartment, i dont do shit like that now.
CM: Ok, so do you find yourself in a relationship and not being so casual? I wonder if you’re saying that being a casual man has for you been an experience of a single man.
Toast: I just dont act without considering HER and shit. Like, if i have to deuce, i’d be like ‘baby wait up for a minute i gotta drop a hot deuce. if i tried some shit like breaking into my own place while i’m subletting cuz i have a fear of public toilets she’d be like COMMON BUDDY, USE THE STARBUCKS JAM.”
CM: Toast you have not changed a bit i’m sorry.
Toast: I’m sayin, i’m always essentially the TOAST, but im more responsible and shit.
CM: like dry toast.
Toast: dry as Steinbeck, dawg.
casual man, u r killin it foreal
