Well here's an update, and an interesting one, I think -- I have no idea what it means though.

So I just discovered while I was out that the squeaking noise does NOT happen if I have parking brake engaged! Huh...

I tried this a couple times to make sure I wasn't going crazy (lol)

So yea, if I have the parking brake is pulled up, there is no squeaking noise when i push on and off my breaks. Wierd...

Does this give anyone any insight maybe?

Your rear shoes are shot, and now, probably the drums too.

Sorry could you (or someone else) please explain the meaning of that to me in more layman terms? (sounds quite bad though)

And what's the significance? Get repaired ASAP bc my yaris may not stop the next time I need it too at a light or stop sign?

It means you need to go get your back brakes fixed, ASAP.
