Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the morning toast.

Happy Monday.

Hey, Claude, over there in the PNW.

How are you?

PNWs.

I hate when, like, okay, so we had a false start.

Jackie and I were recording already for like four minutes, but then we decided like our interface wasn't great.

And I hate just being fraudulent with you, you know, like having a conversation.

We are sisters.

That's like what's so great about our brand.

We're so authentic.

And now I'm out here just like lying.

What do you need to lie about?

Like, I just asked you how you're doing.

No, I know.

I just knew we were going to go back into like, how's the money?

No, no, all the stuff that happened those four minutes, gone, never to be seen again, like not meant to be.

Just look inward and let me know how you're doing.

Looking inward, I'm doing well.

You sound like you're not doing well.

You sound like you're doing worse.

Yeah, so I've been sick all week.

I'm very nasly right now.

Like now I'm just like in a sneezy phase, which is annoying and annoying for, you know, my podcasting business.

But I am feeling much better than I was like Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

Like I had a really high fever.

But now I'm pretty much okay aside from like these residual sniffles, which.

Yeah, let's talk about last week, which was so crazy.

You know, we had this whole week planned,

and it was blown to smithereens.

No, let's talk about the fact that we're both sick as dogs with pretty much the same thing, I think.

Yeah, miles and miles apart, even though we're miles apart.

Like, that's literally.

We're literally contained.

We're digitally contagious.

I hope the listeners aren't sick.

Jackie, huh?

We're viral.

We're very, very viral.

So thanks to everyone for being patient with us last week.

Jackie turned it out on Tuesday, even though she was on death's door.

Wednesday, we made it work with Shannon.

Thursday, we had planned on taking off for personal reasons.

And then Friday, we just both like were on death's door.

Yeah, we were both unwell.

And what's really annoying for me is that, so I am feeling better today-ish.

Like, I've been on the men the last few days.

Now I've thrown my neck out in such a way.

Like I actually am in so much pain.

When I take Advil, it's a little better, but like I was giving Harry lunch and it was the most painful experience of my life, just like sitting there trying to give him a spoon.

Like it was horrible.

No, and that's like what that's a crazy thing about motherhood.

It's like, okay, so I'm, let's say I have strep.

I'm not going to go into work today.

But like, as you can't take a day off.

No, there's no days off.

And what's crazy is like I'm sick and my back is out yet.

I'm still cooking like three meals a day, technically it's also so funny how I make Harry like as gourmet as I can for every meal I always like do three

Three food groups, you know, right like because that's also how the plate looks so I do three things for each meal One of them is always a pouch because they're wonderful from Once Upon a Farm, but the other two are always like semi-homemade Sandra Lee style

And it's crazy how like he eats more gourmet than I do like last night.

I made him fresh blended avocado with freshly pureed carrots that like required boiling and everything in a pouch.

And for myself, I made like frozen fake chicken nuggets.

Stop note.

But by the way, I feel like that's parenthood.

Like Theo is in the best shape of his life, eats organic, and like I'm a slob.

Yeah.

And I just feel like that's how it's done.

Yeah.

No, it's really crazy.

Like back in the day, if my back was out, like you couldn't catch me getting out of bed making even like a bowl of chips.

Like chili.

Now I'm like cooking, cleaning, just with like with my back out.

What can you do?

Right, no, that's so that's wild.

Um, and the annoying thing about being sick like this is like I went to the doctor, like, she's like, thinks I'm faking, you know, like, yeah, there's technically nothing wrong.

She's like, it's just, you know, it's viral, like, it's going around.

Yeah, that's like very, you know, nurse's office back in the day, like showing up.

My head hurts.

You're fine.

No, go back to class.

But by the way, I was faking anyway.

Of course, you were.

Of course, you were.

I wonder how school school nurses suss out the fakes from the reals.

No, and it must be really tough because like you don't want that on your hands.

Like a kid who's actually sick is like miserable getting all the other kids sick.

But I guess if the kid really has like no fever, like not swollen tonsils, like there's a million, like,

I mean, I guess though, if the kid like

has the notovirus.

Yeah, you know.

Or you don't, because

true, but I also feel like,

I don't know,

it's really true what you said.

I feel like back in the day, though, like you have no symptoms, you know, you're a big fat fake.

But today, like, I do feel like there's more invisible illnesses.

For sure.

So, like, I think being a nurse today is much more complicated than it was back in the day, like in a school nurse sense.

Yeah, yeah, I think so, too.

Shout out to the school nurses who are.

who are like really ciphering the real ones from the fake ones.

No, so true.

And I actually feel like being a school nurse is like a super fun job.

Like the school nurse always had snacks.

Like if you had a bellyache, she'd give you saltines.

Okay, she had saltines.

Delicious snack.

If you bring your own peanut butter.

Also, like other members of staff can have snacks and they don't have to be in a room that smells like antiseptic that makes them not want to eat their delicious food.

No, that's an extremely valid point.

I'm so glad you brought that up.

No, and then like you're probably always getting sick.

That too.

You have like

a nice steal.

No, but these kids are disgusting.

I mean, the illness you have totally came from like Michaela, right?

I don't know how it traveled here.

There's like, it's possible it came from Kayla.

There's many theories.

There's many theories.

I don't want to blame it on the Kay.

She's a sweet girl.

What is her?

She's a sweet girl.

She's a good kid.

She is a good kid.

These kids are good.

The other good news about me being sick all week is that I have watched so much TV.

I have caught up on everything that everyone has wanted me to watch.

And I just want to run through it really quickly because I feel really passionately about a lot of the things that I watched.

First, I caught up on Real House.

I was at Beverly Hills, and I'm so glad that I did.

I watched from in the beginning of the season, I skipped episodes while we were still doing recaps.

So, like, I don't know why Crystal was crying in Mexico and like what else happened in Mexico.

So irrelevant.

Okay, great.

But starting around like Thanksgiving Christmas, I picked back up and I'm all caught up and I have so many thoughts and I'm really glad that we'll be able to recap it because it's about to get really interesting.

So okay, so it sounds like they're going to have a heavy TV recap today, which is good because we've kind of been neglecting the TV recap.

So perhaps they'll shift Unburden Yourselves to Tuesday's episode when we're back together on video.

How does that sound?

I love that.

Honestly, I'm not ready to shoulder the burden.

today.

So and by the way, today's TV recap, unfortunately, will not have House of the Dragon.

We are recording this on Sunday because I'm in Seattle.

I have a show tonight.

So we'll take, we are pretty good about House of the Dragon.

Like, we'll get you your recap.

We will.

I'm really excited to watch it.

Then after Real House Eyes at Beverly Hills, I caught up on

Only Murders in the Building.

I watched the whole second season.

I hadn't started the second season, watched it all, loved it.

So many thoughts.

Whenever we do recap it, I also watched, and I'm dying for you to watch, Manta Teo Untold, The Girlfriend Who Never Existed.

I'm so not okay over this story.

Like, it was one of those documentaries that just had immense power, sticks with you, and I, and I hope has a really positive outcome and like changes Mantai's life in the reverse way that this situation changed his life 10 years ago.

Because it's like, stop, I'm going to cry.

So fucking fucked, Claudia.

You have to watch it.

Okay, I will.

Olivia's been like ragging on me.

Like she's like, you have to watch it.

So it's on my list of things to do.

Okay.

Then I also watched Tell Me Lies, which is this new Hulu show that's based on a book.

And it's so good.

There's only four episodes, so that was a little frustrating, but I'm glad to be in it, to be a part of something like we'll be watching every Wednesday at midnight when the episodes drop.

If you haven't started it and you were thinking about it, it's so good.

Like it's just good shit.

Good college.

Love that.

Romantic stuff.

Then I weirdly watched The Queen with Harolyn Miran because I was missing my girl.

I love Harolyn Miran.

You know what I noticed?

Like all of this sickness for us like started on the day that the queen passed.

And I don't think that's a coincidence.

It's sympathy.

Sympathy illness.

Yeah, sympathy pains.

Did you see Matt Smith did an interview on the Today Show?

I did.

And he said that he knows someone who sat next to Prince Philip at a meal and surmised that Prince Philip did not watch the crown, but the queen used to set up a projector on Sunday nights to watch it.

Yeah, but it's like they bulk dropped the episodes.

Why is she only giving herself one?

You know I was thinking that too that that might be like a fault in his story because it's not an episodic show.

Yeah, but she's not like a binge watcher.

She's busy, too.

She's busy and I don't see her like binging anything.

She's very regimented.

So maybe she spliced it up for herself in a very responsible way.

Put herself out of schedule.

That would be like, you know, really on brand for Queen to be like organized and even with her content.

Yeah.

Have you ever seen the movie The Queen with Helen Marin?

No.

It's about like the day, the week after Diana dies.

And I just feel like everything that happens in the movie is exactly what happened in real life.

Like, they had fucking ring cameras around the property because.

Okay, I'm gonna watch it.

Yeah, it was really good.

It also made me really miss Prince Philip, but he's so funny.

I've been on like a Matt Smith tear because I've just become obsessed with him from Game of Thrones.

And of course, I know that he was Prince Philip, but like he didn't do it for me as Prince Philip.

But I still went down this like little rabbit hole.

Did you know he dated Lily James for five years?

I knew that because I follow you on Instagram and I was very grateful to have seen that.

I was shocked.

I mean apparently he's been like way famous since before we knew him because he was in Doctor Who, which is like this show with a cult following that I've never watched.

But for me, like I really became invested in the Game of Thrones era of his career.

And I just didn't know that he dated Lily James, Lady Rose, for five years.

That's, I'm here for that.

It's funny.

I'm here for that too.

When you're in Downtown Abbey or the Crown, like those actors, they just like recycle through.

They exist in the same universe.

Yeah, there's a few big roles that you can get.

And Game of Thrones, actually, I feel like most of the Game of Thrones actors and actresses are like not new, but unknown to us American swine.

Girlies.

If you watch a lot of British stuff, like maybe you know them.

But if you just watch, you know, the usual shit, you probably don't yet.

So that's why it's cool that he's from the crown.

Even when I was watching The Queen, the guy who plays Prince Charles plays

King David, Edward, you know, Wallace, Simpson, and Edward,

plays him in the crown.

So they're just like, and then he played Charles later in life.

No, it's actually nice that they pool, like they pick from the same pool of actors.

It just feels consistent.

It feels like it actually is royal.

They're actually related.

And they're growing up, you know, like Charles then played Edward, you know?

Yes, they're growing up.

And it's like, he does look like his grandpa.

Right, because they're the same actor.

Right.

So we'll do a full like real house-wise recap after the fast five, correct?

And we have a lot to catch up on because we didn't do a show Thursday or Friday.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We could, we could get into some stuff.

My mind is just like, I've so, I'm so caught up.

Like, it's crazy.

Who is she?

You just want to like vomit it out.

yeah but now i'm feeling shy about my thoughts oh she's shy she's so shy but it's a monday i haven't been on the show since tuesday and i promised you we're giving you queen news till the end of september and i've got a lot to catch you guys up on so

okay excuse me how many stories are queen related It's only one story a day with maybe a couple subsets.

Okay, I am getting over it.

Like, I have to let you know.

Deal with it.

Like, unless there's actually something.

Yeah, there is.

Okay.

There's the rudeness towards the queen.

And that doesn't mean I don't still respect and honor the queen, but like, it's a little like overkill.

I haven't done a show since Tuesday, so people have no idea what's going on.

Oh, that's true.

And also, by the time you're listening to this, the funeral will have happened.

So we will recap that tomorrow.

Great.

Are you going to try and watch still or are you reneging on that too?

I'm not reneging.

My God, it's going to be two in the morning here.

I've been working non-fucking stop.

I'm sick.

Like, can I live?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Should we jump right in?

Yeah.

Unless you have more that you want to update us with.

No, I've just been like busy, busy, working, traveling, driving, flying planes, trains, automobiles.

Great show in Portland last night.

I'm really excited.

We're like big in Seattle.

I don't know if you know that.

That's, I love that for us.

They have like

chill weather.

Totally.

Even though I have not stepped foot outside because I'm just like seeing the PNW from the inside of my hotel room.

I'm just, I'm too sick and I don't have like, if I have any energy, I need to preserve it for my show.

You know what the official food of Seattle should be?

Chili.

I couldn't agree more.

Because

it's always chilly weather there.

No, No, because it's chilly outside.

Oh, and because the rain makes you want to make a chili.

No, and like the weather is chilly.

But like you look outside and you're like, oh my God, I want to cultivate a vibe.

Make a chill.

Where's my le cre?

Where are my beans?

I'm going to have red beans for dinner.

How was Thrice when you left him back in New York?

Oh my God.

I had a dream that I came home and Theo was stabbed in my bathtub.

You know, Bruno's here today and he really didn't need to hear that.

It was so upsetting.

I woke up so early, even though I'm like totally sleep deprived.

I like I didn't have to wake up.

I got to Seattle at like one o'clock last night.

So I went to bed at like two and I'm like, great, I don't have to do anything till sound check at like five o'clock.

I could sleep till noon.

Like, of course I woke up at 830 because I had a fucking nightmare.

Damn.

I'm sorry.

It was devastating, but it turns out like whoever stabbed Theo, I never found out who it was because I woke up.

They were just playing with my mind because it was a very shallow stab, and he was totally fine, even though, like, I got into the bathtub and like grabbed him because I thought he was dead and I was gonna like say my goodbyes.

But he's literally like,

That's so Theo.

He lives.

That's so Theo.

He's a survivor.

He's a survivor.

That is so Theo.

That's so Theo.

Okay, well, I'm glad he's doing well

in real life.

And without further ado, did it do,

here are the questions.

Bruno's with his mommy.

Stunning, yep, Bruno's in the studio today.

It's been about two weeks since he I actually tricked him because it's like not normal time that we're recording, so he didn't know he was about to get stuck in the room with me.

Um, and I'm so glad for it, and I'm feeling really grateful.

And Bruno Mommy loves you so, even though you don't want to be.

He was an ambush, you're like the Bobby Flay of South Florida.

Yeah, I'm ambushing Bruno into pot into a podcast off.

You're Jackie Flo,

Okay.

Without further ado, to do to do, here are the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

How?

And today's episode is brought to you by Fashion Pass.

So we know a lot of toasters already know and love Fashion Pass, but it is truly the steeniest clothing rental service out there.

You're going to get unlimited rentals for one flat price.

Their clothes are everything of the sort, to put it simply, and you save so much money because you're not buying clothes all the time.

What I think really separates Fashion Pass from the other rental services is like their clothes are actually cute.

Like they're not grandma selects, you know, overstock items from other stores.

They're good stuff, stuff that's being sold right now.

They have for Love and Lemons.

You know, you, you guys know we love Show Me Your Moo Moo, Free People, Amanda Uprichard.

So if you hate spending $200 on one outfit that you take a picture of and really can never wear again, you should definitely look into clothing rental and you should definitely look into Fashion Pass.

They have a bunch of different plans.

We're on the trendsetter plan where you get to pick three clothing items and two accessories on every order.

And then you can switch out your items as many times a month as you want.

So once you wear something, send it back and get something new so you can be stunning 24-7.

It can be anywhere from 30 to 60% off.

It's a totally better option than constantly shopping.

It's unlimited rentals for just $39 with code Toast when you go to fashionpass.com.

Don't miss out on that.

Today's episode is also brought to you by Peak.

Did you know that most moisturizers don't actually hydrate your skin?

They simply seal the outer layer of your skin to prevent your internal moisture from leaking out.

So if you don't already have enough hydration inside your skin, topical creams are not going to help you a whole lot.

And that's why Peak's BT Fountain is the first skincare that you can drink.

It actually makes so much sense when you think about it.

When I first tried peak, I'm like, oh, this is unique.

Peak is unique New York.

But it actually makes a ton of sense because the best way to hydrate is really from the inside out.

It enhances and boosts your internal moisture production and preservation for results in less than 30 days.

I have been on peak for a few weeks.

I've definitely noticed a huge boost in hydration.

I did it before I went on tour because when I spend a lot of time on planes, my skin is really prone to getting like crusty and flaky and it just sucks and there's not a lot I can do about it and my makeup doesn't sit well on my skin.

But I love peak.

I think the ceramides that visibly reduce fine lines and increase skin elasticity really set it apart from other products.

The hyaluronic acid increases skin moisture content and the electrolytes provide deep cellular hydration.

It can also help dispel brain fog because the electrolytes are an essential part of your nutrient process.

They're severely depleted of electrolytes and that's why we have brain fog and we can make we can become irritable in the afternoons.

It's of course non-GMO, it's gluten-free and it's vegan and they have a delicious yuzuberry flavor.

You cannot stop drinking it.

Neither can I.

great thank you so much claudia you're welcome our first story queen elizabeth's top secret letter is locked in a vault until 2085

i need to know i know but here's the thing it's like not what you think it is at all but it gets you thinking about what you think it is two things let's just talk about this one letter queen elizabeth penned a top secret letter to residents of sydney australia and it won't be opened until the year 2085.

wait what

I thought it was literally going to be like, of course, think Charles is a moron, Megan, justice for Megan Markle.

Like, I'm

no, of course that's what you think it is.

But no, she composed the letter back in 1986 to celebrate the restoration of the city's Queen Victoria building that same year.

The building which

no, this is fraudulence and clickbait.

Like, I saw this thing going around and I was like, oh, I wonder what's in it.

I didn't read the article.

I was just like, oh, that's so classic then.

Like, we'll find out what she really thought of everything when we're 80.

I know.

And that's really what I thought.

And I actually was like kept up at night thinking, like, ready to live until 2085.

I need to know what the queen thought.

Like, I thought it was going to be a letter that's like, here's what I actually thought about Harry and Megan leaving.

Here's what I think about Charles.

I've literally been going to the gym since I heard about this to try and increase my longevity.

Like, that's, I'm shocked.

No, or it's like if I was passing away, like, I would beg them to show me.

I was literally going to reach out to Nicholas Cage and have him steal the Declaration of Independence.

Like, I'm shocked.

I know.

And then it got me thinking because, obviously, like, this Queen Victoria building letter, isn't it?

But do you think that there is anywhere with the Queen's real thoughts and feelings?

Or did she take that shit to the grave?

No, I'm sure it's in the hearts and minds of her loved ones.

Like, I'm sure, you know, her close confidants, like, know what she thought about people and things and and the world.

I think that she, like, writes diaries.

I think that it's on paper somewhere because you have to, like, I think she thinks of herself as just like a piece of history.

And if you think back to all the kings and queens that like came before her, we do have their diaries.

We know, like, a lot of their personal thing, like, life.

We know about their personal life, not in the way that their contemporaries did, but only because we found out later on, you know?

I mean, that's like such an invasion of privacy.

But, no, but I think she like writes everything with the intention of it becoming public once.

No, like

I've read so many, you know, snippets of Queen Victoria's letters.

The time that she was writing them, her constituents didn't know what she was writing, but now like little old me does a hundred

and I get it for the purpose of history, but just the sheer concept that like when you go to museums, not even the royals, just historical figures in general, when you go to museums, they have like letters, love letters, diary entries.

It's like

historians deserve privacy too.

Yeah, but don't you think some people, like the queen, write it with

the knowledge that it will one day be read?

For sure, but like that knowledge wasn't afforded to the first people who had their diary entries revealed.

Yeah, that's true.

Anyways, it just, I

really do hope that she left a little something for

the crown writers when they get up to modern day.

She didn't.

I don't think she did because that's the whole point of the queen.

It's like, you're not supposed to know what she thinks.

She's not a political person.

Like, she's supposed to be this neutral girly, and that's what she was.

And I don't think she's going to change that.

Yes, but I think in like many, many years, when it no longer matters what is happening today, like we will get information about stuff just based on diaries, you know, NDA is expiring, palace officials.

Like, just recently, something came out

from the diary of the doctor who was her dad's doctor

That he

that the king was like

euthanized.

Like he did when he passed away, like he was, no, intentionally.

Like he was given a lethal shot.

Right, right, right.

That just came out.

But at the time, no one knew that.

Because the doctor's diaries are now out.

I'm sure we'll learn more about her.

I'm sure it will not be for an extremely long time.

I hope we're still alive.

I hope I'm still alive.

Like, really.

That crushes me.

Like I don't have FOMO, but like future generations like knowing intimate insights into what's going on with the royal family today like kills me.

No, Jax, because then like you'll be in heaven chilling with the queen.

Like you'll not be in the middle of the day.

And I can just ask for myself.

Right.

Like straight up, straight from the source, straight from the horse's mouth.

No, I'll probably still be standing in line, like in our next story subset B, David Beckham, who gets emotional after waiting in line for 12 hours to mourn Queen Elizabeth II.

This was really sweet.

David Beckham got emotional saying goodbye to the queen after waiting in line for over 12 hours to pay his respects to the late monarch.

The British soccer star was snapped wiping away tears inside Westminster Hall on Friday.

He was also seen burying his head in his hands as he stood with other mourners.

He appeared to have lined up without his famous family at 2 a.m.

on Friday morning and waited over 12 hours to see the queen lying in state.

He didn't seem to have mind the intention he got in line and allegedly even brought a bunch of lucky fans doughnuts to keep them energized as they waited in line.

This was really, really cute because

can he also just, you know, skip the line?

I'm sure he could have called someone up and like gotten special treatment, but like the fact that like he wasn't making it about him makes me like him so much.

And, you know, I think of David Beckham as a lot of things, like stud, soccer player, Mr.

Victoria.

Um, but I always like, not that I forget, but I'm like, think of him first and foremost as a dad.

And this is like so something someone's dad does.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

It's like PJOM dad energy.

It really is.

And it's just like he's such a Brit, like just standing there with his compatriots.

Yeah, I mean,

when we were talking last week about like the group of celebrities in the UK that always get invited to royal functions, it's literally the Beckhams and Elton John.

Like they're up there.

So if he wanted to just like walk in, cut the line, they would have arranged it for him.

And it just makes me think of him as like this nice, hamish, down-to-earth, salt-of-the-earth kind of guy.

Totally.

totally and there is going to be like a really big reception

for

heads of state big wigs medium wigs everyone and they're calling it the reception of the century daily mail and i have to imagine like david and victoria would be invited to that right but it's just nice to know that like even if they weren't like they still they're just like they're just citizens you know they're just uk citizens They really are.

I thought it was a really, really cute story.

And it's one more point.

It was very sweet.

Not that we're keeping score, but it's one more point in the David and Victoria versus Brooklyn and Nicola column.

Right.

Even though, like, you know, Nicola claims there's nothing there, I'm just not believing her.

No, everything that Nicola and Brooklyn do, I'm just like, there's drama.

They walk down the aisle.

They walk down the runway for like Vogue World or whatever.

Drama.

Like.

Vogue World actually looked really sick.

Yeah, it looked pretty like fun, considering it's about right.

Yeah.

You know, like Serena Williams was iconic.

Lil Maz X was iconic.

I feel like they did a pretty good job when Vogue, for some reason, like, especially in the last couple of years, like, I don't even associate Vogue with Fashion Week, even though they're like the number one fashion magazine in the world, you know?

Yeah, no, it was giving like Fashion Tonight out a little bit.

Yeah.

But like in a cute way, I feel like for so long, Vogue was like so anti-like digital, anti-influencer.

Like, and now they're like finally catching up and like.

inviting like young people to their events, like even like mech alibibes.

And I feel like it's, it's, it's working for them.

I thought that was like a cool event.

Good for them.

It's hard to stand out when like every brand is like doing the most during fashion week.

It's also Claude hard to stand out when you were born to fit in.

To fit in.

Yeah, I couldn't agree more.

That's not the quote.

Anyways, that's your queen news for the day.

Well, it depends who you're talking to.

This is true.

It could be the quote.

That's your queen news for the day.

I hope it was handleable for you.

No, it was good.

It was good.

And I do hope one day we get the queenie ladders.

You don't touch the queeny ladders.

Love, that was a good reference.

Really

top-notch.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

I'll leave it at that for the day.

You're welcome.

Next up, hot new couple alert.

Kanye West and Candice Swanipole are dating.

Page six is told that Kanye is indeed dating Candice Swanpole, but sources also tell page six it's not exactly true love.

In fact, they say it's BS to shill sunglasses.

Conveniently, Candice is the, they say that it's the PR thing for his sunglasses.

Oh, his sunglasses, right, right, right.

Conveniently, Candace is the face of Yeezy Gap sunglasses and the pair party together at a New York Fashion Week event, and it's not lost in the marketing savvy, Kanye, that a well-publicized romance would do wonders for the brand's profile.

That's page six's words, and I and I disagree with them.

So do I.

Kanye is like, he's nuts, but he's not, he doesn't do that.

And he doesn't need Candace Swannopole to make him like

famous or relevant.

Or to sell his sunglasses.

And there's backlash.

No, and he puts out like literal rags and people like can't stop buying it.

I don't think he needs help selling his sunglasses.

I don't think he needs to be in a PR relationship.

Me neither.

Though now I'm thinking back to Julia Fox, and that wasn't a PR relationship, but it also wasn't like true love either.

No, but it was just like a relationship.

I don't think,

I think Kanye is definitely like a business-focused person, and, you know,

he wants to sell and he's a marketer, but I don't think he really takes that to his relationships, honestly.

I think his relationships sometimes, and especially these days, just become about like.

Like someone being his muse and it's just like them spending all their time together and it's not necessarily like they're dating or what or in love but it's just like a it's bubbling over from his creative process like i feel like she's his muse right now

yeah i don't know i just i don't see that as something he does like and i'm always skeptical of relationships because i think like so many celebrities are always being fraudulent but i don't know i don't see this i don't agree with page six's take at all

so do you think they're um OTP?

Actually, no.

No, I don't, but I'm very much here for this.

Like, I think they're.

probably, like, hooked up.

It's fashion week, you know, shit's wild.

People are tired.

They're probably hooked up.

Maybe they're going out, like, a fling.

I don't think it's the end-all, be-all.

I think it's great for her.

I think it's great for him.

And it's fun.

Anything can happen during fashion week.

So true.

It's just like draft day.

A hundred percent.

Ugh, draft day.

I was triggered watching.

Mantaiteo.

He had a really not.

He had a hard draft day?

He had a hard draft day.

And it's because anything could happen.

And that's like, you think of it.

Anything could happen.

Anything could happen.

You think when you think anything could happen, you think it's obviously like positive, but

there's negatives too.

So, I mean, for sure.

For sure.

Are you ready for

our next story?

A little legal news?

Yes.

Kim Kardashian and Scott Distick have been sued for over $40 million over alleged Instagram scam.

I want to get your thoughts on this.

Kim and Scott are being sued for $40 million for promoting Lux prizes on Instagram that are allegedly part of a fake lottery scam.

People who entered the contests were allegedly promised a chance at winning items such as a first-class ticket to LA or a three-night stay in Beverly Hills and even $100,000.

Sources close to the company that organizes these lotteries called Curated Businesses, which sounds like an extremely fake business, told TMZ on Thursday that there have been legitimate winners and that they have the paperwork to prove it.

However, the plaintiffs claim in the lawsuit that Kim and Scott and curated businesses organized the contest to allegedly sell their personal information to advertisers, according to TMZ.

They claim they have been invaded by hundreds of advertisers, some of which are soliciting the plaintiffs with potentially offensive and unwanted

content.

Scott is allegedly the main organizer of the lotteries, and celebrities like Kim, her family members Chloe, Courtney, Chris, and Kylie have helped promote it to their millions of followers on Instagram.

But do they own the company?

I don't know what their relationship is, but I do feel like it's Scott's relationship.

And he was like going to them for like a long time probably about it.

And eventually the money was right.

And so they did it.

But this is one of those things.

It's like now that it's in writing like this, I'm like, oh, yeah, duh.

Like, what the fuck is that shit?

No, for, by the way, we've always known that those giveaways were fucking weird.

No, I knew that.

And like kind of like beneath them.

Yes, and like a janky way to make money

and that they didn't need to resort to those things.

But never did I think like it would be like an illegal scam and now that you think about it it's like they do so many of them we've never heard from anyone being like oh my god i won like you know i was watching i think it was heather mcdonald's saying like you know someone could have won and like made a tick tock video like i won a hundred thousand dollars from kim kardashian's giveaway here's what i got like

it's reminding me of that mcdonald's scam mcmillions Yeah, but also what's fucked about it.

And I think part of the reason why like a lot of people have had like a bad taste in their mouth about it is like because of the tax positioning it puts the person in.

Like you have to pay tax, even if you get something for free and not even on the money, on the bags.

So it's like you're winning something that's going to cost you money that you don't have.

Okay, but like if you even won it, I want to hear from anyone who's in this tax situation because they won something.

Okay, I remember like a few years ago, like some Instagram account did a deep dive and I remember them perhaps finding at least one person who won.

But you're right.

Like if they're doing it as frequently as they are, like there aren't more people like posting that they won, making TikToks totally.

And it's always been like, this was the least shocking thing, by the way.

No, it's, it's so obvious, but I, I, I always like, when I watch American Greed, I'm like, I wonder what's like the next sort of thing, like, or what's something that's like hiding in plain sight that's like fraudulent, such these things.

These things.

Yeah, no, this, and this is just so bizarre.

And I'm sure they're all like fucking annoyed at Scott because like he begged him to, they begged him,

he begged them to do it.

And now they're like being dragged and like have a fucking lawsuit on their hands and like I get them being justifiably annoyed yeah so we'll see maybe it's not fraudulent but it just it feels like the thing is and people have I was never under the assumption that they owned the company I thought it was like definitely something Scott like helped them with and like maybe he knew the guy who owned it I thought that they didn't own the company and if they don't like they bear no responsibility like if you did a partnership with you know skims I don't know why like if you did a partnership with LG and LG got sued by by someone, like, that has no bearing on you.

Yeah.

Well, it reminds me of Fire Festival and all the people who posted about it, who, like, you know, they're

that's true.

I don't know if they were held liable in any way, but just

when you're advertising something and it's false advertising.

Yeah, no, that's definitely a big question.

Why the Kardashians won't suffer and perhaps why they might not be caring about this is like celebrities of all kinds, even most influencers, you have insurance for all of your brand deals.

Like if you're a touring comedian, you have insurance.

If somebody trips and breaks their neck at a show,

they can't sue you.

You have a brand deal, you get insurance, you have like general liability insurance.

So they won't be hit financially, even if they lose.

They have insurance for sure.

Yeah.

And I don't think that they're part of the, they own this business like in any way.

I just, I think it's Kim, Scott, and the business are named in the suit.

Also, from what I've seen, Scott might, might own the business, like a part of it.

What I've seen from people who have entered is that like

you get so much spam afterwards and it's giving Jen Shaw not illegal it's giving Jen Shah

that's not illegal selling information I mean yeah like data harvesting that's an industry right like you it's unethical but like you sign up for Nordstroms Nordstrom sends your sells your data they give your first name last name location birthday gender all that stuff That's just the world we live in.

Selling information is annoying, but it's not illegal.

Someone sold the Redheads an email address and I tell everyone.

It's unusable and now I have to start

you have to make a new email the redheads at gmail.com is like not gonna work yeah yeah because like the inbox is like all this spam from like naughtychats.com and like the AARP at first I thought someone was fucking with me because I started getting emails from the AARP and I was like oh someone like put our email address in for this but then there was a first name that everything was addressed to so I was like oh whoever it is like they just spelled their email address wrong so now I'm on this one email list where they put their address in wrong and I felt bad I I unsubscribed as much as I could but now it's like floods of clear-cut spam and like someone made a profile and like naughty chats or what I don't know but I think it's the end of the redhead's email address so I'll have to make something devastating it's devastating so I feel for these people whose

email addresses like at one point but like all of my email addresses not all some to more than others but like really a lot of them get so much fucking spam like yeah how much spam do you you get until you start a new email address?

Like, why do I have hundreds of like emails a day in my phone inbox that like are I'm not looking at?

You know, I mean, I guess, I guess it's just like, how attached to the email account are you?

Are you waiting for an email from a long lost lover?

Like, then you're never going to give it up.

But if, if eventually like less and less important shit is coming through to this account, you're happy to give it up.

Yeah,

that's so true.

Speaking of a letter from a long-lost lover, did you see this TikTok about

Camilla and Charles' relationship being the same as the notebook?

Yes, I did.

I thought that was a brilliant take.

I thought so too.

Very compelling.

And it's actually exactly what we were saying last week, that Camilla and Charles, though they're not for everyone, when you boil it down, it's quite a romantic story, much like the notebook.

Yeah.

No, and like.

You can acknowledge that with while still having sympathy for what Diana had to go through because she was really just a pawn and she got used and thrown out like yesterday's trash.

Like, you can still think that, like, they should have been married and they are OTP and like they have a beautiful love story while also acknowledging all the people's lives they ruined on their way to each other.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I really believe partially it wasn't their fault.

Definitely Charles could have handled it better and not been a four-year-old about it.

But no, there are a lot of similarities.

I saw that TikTok of the girl making the comparison.

Like if you're going to romanticize and glorify Noah and Allie, then you have to do the same to Charles and Camilla because it's literally the same thing.

Yeah.

Damn.

Mic drop.

Mic drop.

Are you ready for our next story?

I am.

You're just ready, just like that.

Yeah, I'm ready just like that.

I have a plan.

Okay, cool.

Um, next story.

Blake Lively is pregnant and she's slamming the paparazzi while sharing her pregnancy news alongside some Canon photos.

So Blake Lively posted to Instagram.

Here are photos of me pregnant in real life.

So the 11 guys waiting outside my home for a sighting will leave me alone.

You freak me and my kids out.

Thanks to everyone else for all the love and respect and for continuing to unfollow accounts and publications who share photos of children.

You all have the power against them.

And thank you to the media who have a no kids policy.

You make all the difference.

Much love.

XXB.

And she posted a carousel of all these very sweet.

pregnant images, including an image with Taylor Swift

for the Swifty in the room.

I love Blake Lively, but I do sometimes forget she exists, which I think is really nice for her.

I think that is nice.

I think that's really ideal, especially for someone like her who clearly wants her privacy, literally just said that.

And, you know, you do a movie, you do press, everyone loves you, remembers you, and then you can go and do your thing for a little bit.

And I'm not sure how far along she is, but so far she has been enjoying her pregnancy and privacy.

Yeah, no, it's nice.

She looks beautiful.

She's so stunning.

Like, it's actually not fair that like a human being like her exists.

And she's like, she's so stunning.

And she's looked like that since she was 16.

Like, that's actually how she was born, which makes me feel worse.

Cause like, remember when they named Bella Hadid the most beautiful woman in the world?

And it's like, well, that makes me feel great because that's not what Bella Hadid looks like.

So not even the most beautiful woman in the world looks like the most beautiful woman in the world.

Right.

But like Bella Thorne.

I mean, not Bella Thorne.

Bella.

What's her name?

Who are we talking about?

Blake Lively.

Have a stroke.

I'm having a stroke.

Wait.

Blake Lively.

Oh, my God.

You were stuck in the middle.

But like Blake Lively, like, she literally looks at how she looked in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Like, it ain't right.

Yeah, she does.

And

I'm happy, but it's nice to have like

aspirational people, too.

Yeah, but it's it sucks.

Yeah, I'm happy for her, though, and her mans and their family.

And she was, she's like, she's sweet.

Did you watch

the episode with Shannon?

Most of it.

So, did you see the Ryan Reynolds thing?

No,

so like he had this, um,

like

story come out.

He basically, like, had a colonoscopy, and there's a video to prove it.

And before I read the story, I was like going off about it.

He's just like a thirst monster, and like, I'm kind of over him, and he's like desperate.

And then I read the story, and it's like this amazing thing he did for like colonoscopy awareness with like a charity.

Like, I literally felt like such a bitch.

So, you don't think that anymore?

Like that he's annoying?

No, I do, actually, but not as it pertains to that particular story because that was a nice thing.

It wasn't the right time to drag her.

It wasn't the time or the space for the conversation.

Okay.

What about him now?

Yeah, I mean, I just feel like he's weirdly so A-list, but he also does stuff sometimes that is like giving desperado vibes.

And I'm not talking about the colonoscopy thing because that was really nice, like using his platform.

I feel like he's stuck sometimes in like this cycle of like clickbait buzz feed, like I'm gonna do it.

Chrissy Teigen vibes.

Yeah, yeah.

He's like still on that like PR track.

He can't get off.

Like now like the thing is, you know, posting funny TikToks or like he could be dancing with his kids and instead he's like doing like prankster shit.

Yeah, like he just gives like

he gives like low budget energy sometimes when he's so A-less, like him and his wife.

Yeah.

That's what I was trying to say, but I chose the wrong moment.

It's It's okay.

And I apologize.

It's okay.

It happens.

It happens to the best of us.

Mm-hmm.

Are you ready for our fifth and final story?

Wow, time like truly flies by when you're being hilarious with your sister and best friend.

Our fifth and final story, some heartwarming heartwarming news for this Monday morning.

Mantai Teo gets a hero's welcome at Notre Dame as ex-football star makes his first public appearance at a game since the Netflix release documentary on him being catfished 10 years ago.

I don't want to spoil anything about the documentary.

I mean, Olivia gave me like the gist, like his grandma died and some woman catfished him pretending to be his grandma's reincarnated spirit.

No, not even close.

Oh.

Olivia didn't say that.

No, maybe I misunderstood.

I'm sorry, not even close.

Like, it's pretty close, but like, not the reincarnated.

Not the reincarnated spirit.

He was catfished when he was a junior and senior playing football for Notre Dame by this man who now identifies as a woman.

It's confused.

Like at the time, 10 years ago, it was a man pretending to be a woman online.

Now

she goes as a woman.

By she.

By she.

So, but at the time of they filmed the documentary, nobody knew that Renia, who was the person who

was catfishing mantai that now ranaya identifies as a woman so the pronouns are just kind of out the window at this point because of the catfish situation right um

but he was catfished by ranaya like they were in a relationship um online and ranaya like couldn't get out of it also renaya is like an insane fucking narcissist like is ranaya in the documentary yes and that's what makes it but so that makes it really interesting and between the two of them telling the story and they really have you know with a similar story of how everything happened um between them telling the story and us hearing from naya is what she goes by now and seeing like really how insane this person is like really delusional and

cruel

And then I think actually the thing that makes the documentary is Mantaiteo.

What a man.

What a, the world was so not worthy.

Like, and what a thing to happen to him.

He was literally up for the Heisman Trophy, like one of the best football players in the country, ready to get drafted to the NFL.

He actually, like, when he was a junior, after his junior year, they were like, he could have gone to the draft, but he decided he wanted to play his senior year at Notre Dame.

And like the school loved him so much.

He was like this huge role model for the whole community.

And it was just, it's an amazing story.

And after this thing, this thing like took him down.

This thing took him down.

He must have lost millions and millions of dollars in, like, because he should have been in the first round of the draft pick when he did draft, and he wasn't.

And, like, one of his,

because this whole thing, like, and no one knew really for sure, like, was he a part of this?

Because he played his senior year for his grandma and his girlfriend who passed away on the same day.

And it was this amazing story.

And then it came out a few months later, like, there was no girlfriend.

And so it was like, did Mantai make this up as like this story for himself to like get some, you know, maybe he wouldn't have been nominated for the Heisman if he didn't have such a great story about him.

So it kind of sullied his name.

And I think a lot of teams and people like maybe didn't think he was involved, but just didn't want the drama.

He didn't get drafted till the second round, and which takes your contract from like

huge dollars, much less.

If I were Mantai, like I would fucking sue the shit out of this woman every million dollar that I did not make.

And the thing about Mantai is like, he forgives her.

He, and he's like, and he just could never be me.

Like, I would never if I always

shocked when, like, the perpetrator agrees to sit down for the documentary.

One, because, like, you're never going to come off the hero.

And two, like, you're probably just better off, like, having people not really know what you look like.

Yeah.

Well, I think when it all happened, like, Renaya said that, um,

He like she then like what couldn't get jobs or anything.

Um, I maybe she thinks thinks now this is like clearing her name and hearing from her was like good for us to see like how twisted this person could be and like you know it makes for great entertainment really thinking that she was like helping mantai like at one point she was like i would like tell him you know things about the game that he was because uh oh my god

like really thinking that she was responsible for his success just delusion mental illness

and it also shows like just the role of the media and like bringing someone up Like everyone was like all in a for Mantai and then they just fucking

chew you up and spit you out.

And even like his football game changed after the whole scandal because he like couldn't trust himself anymore because he's like, no, of course.

Like his therapist said, he was like, have you forgiven Renaya?

And Mantai's like, yeah, yeah.

And his therapist's like, have you forgiven yourself?

No.

And he like hadn't.

It was just an amazing documentary.

I know everybody watched it like two months ago and I'm like so fucking behind, but let me live.

And I just like justice for, I don't know what we can do for Mantai.

He now is married and has a baby girl.

And so I think he's thriving.

And he did play some years in the NFL, but obviously not to the.

degree that everyone thought that he would.

And it's just like this person out of nowhere, like came into his life and fucking ruined it.

And nothing that he did, like, deserved it.

Like, nothing that he didn't like seek this person out.

Like,

just so messed up.

And it was so, and I'm sure at the time too, people were like, how could this big, you know, college player have a girlfriend that he's never met?

And it's like he, when you hear the circumstances, it actually makes a lot of sense.

He was from Hawaii.

He played football for Notre Dame, which is a Catholic school, but he's Polynesian Mormon.

So at like at.

Notre Dame, he definitely was a bit of a fish out of water.

And like this person reaches out to him on Facebook who's part of his community and feels, you know, like home.

And they create this relate, relate, like they start talking.

And I think it was just like someone he could open up to.

I'm literally going to cry, like taking advantage of a vulnerable person.

Claudia, like I could, I literally could cry.

And I just don't know how we can support Mantai now, but we absolutely have to.

Now, I think for him, he should be a motivational speaker because he's literally the most positive, like precious gem of a Mantai that I've ever

pressed Jenner to manage him.

Yeah.

And I, Olivia was telling me that like when the documentary came out, like there's been this whole Mantai renaissance, which I'm so happy for.

And I just let me know how we can support Mantai and all of his endeavors because I fully intend to.

Well, I think we can all start by just following him on Instagram.

I think that's a currency these days and it can't hurt.

Yeah, so true.

So anyways, he went back to Notre Dame for the first time in 10 years to a hero's welcome.

He's like choking up and like scary-eyed.

And the whole stadium is like going crazy.

Like Mantai was like their

hero.

Their hero.

So if you haven't watched it you should watch it claudia okay by the way i'm literally i have to eat lunch after this and i have like two hours to do nothing i'll put it up on my computer can't wait and then watch tell me lies but let's do tv recap Yes, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

I'm so curious to know your thoughts because we finally got down to like the 818 drama.

I think the big blow up that everyone has been talking about since before the season even premiered with Kathy happens next week.

Lisa Rinna is the

perpetrator of it.

But before that, like I really want to talk talk about like this break in the group, how like everyone's leaving Kyle's house.

And Kyle looked a little crazy, but like, I thought she was totally justified in like being so upset.

Like, Dorit's her best friend.

Like, I think sometimes Dorit like wants to be married to her and Mauricio.

And for her to leave, I totally understood, like, wanting to feel safe.

I totally get feeling safer in a hotel than in a house.

I get that.

But like...

I don't know, like running around with Erica, like it, it would hurt.

And obviously for some reason, this whole Kimo Sabe affair, like was a really big deal to Kyle for whatever reason.

Either it's the fact that like she spends a lot of time there with her family or just her getting the store to agree to film and close down was a big deal.

And the way like nobody came, like that would have upset me too.

No, it would have upset me, but I did not feel sympathy for Kyle.

I thought she was acting like a child and a loser, honestly.

And the whole like, you know what, you can't.

You can't predict like what event is going to slap, what event is going to be like, you know, you can't even on a trip of lay people, you know, sometimes it's the best nights are like when you didn't really have much plan and sometimes you go to the extent of planning so deeply and like it just doesn't people aren't in a good mood like people don't want to be there like trips are just funny especially girls trips you can't plan what the best moment is going to be and like kyle just kept trying to like manufacture this moment at kimo sabe and it's like I don't feel sorry for you.

If you cared about people being there and having fun, like you would have had them drinking Kathy's tequila.

You saw how upset that that made her.

And so like I was so upset for Kathy on behalf of kathy the whole episode and like kyle is really the perpetrator in that instance and it's like okay so you want to read there but you don't give a shit if your sister's there so by the way true and they did have kyle's i mean kathy's tequila but they like weren't it's like it's like they were told they have to have it and put it out but they forgot they just had it and they didn't do anything with it and like lisa rin is so intentional like the way she's like my friend kendall

okay she if you're so close first of all if you're so close to her you would have already tried it no it's been out for like a year

it's been out for like a year year.

And like, stop, and it's like awkward at her being like my friend Kendall Jenner when like Kyle is actually best friends with Chris Jenner.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I,

and as much as, yes, Kyle and Doreet are very close and Dorit happened to be off with Erica all day, like Kyle, Darit, and Erica are, and Lisa are really close.

I do think all four of them are kind of interchangeable.

And Erica just happened to be like in the room with Doreed and Doreet happened to be there to, you know, she was going to be a friend to Erica just because that's the friend that she woke up next to.

I don't think it was really about picking sides or anything, but just like trying to be there for Erica.

It's so weird because Erica has lost her fucking mind.

She has.

She has.

But I felt like for the first time, I was understanding what she was trying to say.

No, by the way, of course.

And you know what?

If I'm in her position and like I've just been dragged for over a year into being called like some terrible things that I'm definitely close to, but I'm not responsible for.

I understand the frustration, but like the lack of self-awareness to the fact that she's filming a TV show.

Um

like it's like she's really just decided she doesn't give a fuck what the audience thinks of her, even if it gets her fired.

Yeah, she doesn't care what the audience thinks of her, but there were two things that I felt like fell slip through the cracks of like what she was trying to say, which was one, that she, you know, everything with her has to be like allege this, allege that.

Even the victims, like until it is proven, like, she has to say alleged victims.

Now, I, I think that there are victims 100%, but from what I understand, when there's like a big class action situation like this, there are nefarious actors who come in like ambulance chaser vibes who come in and try and like get something too.

So she can't, like, if she just sweepingly is like, yes, they're all victims, like, she's actually might be giving credence to people who don't have an actual

grievance to handle.

So

I do think that that is sort of prudent of her.

And then also, like her saying with the earrings, like if she just gives over the earrings because that's admitting by the way, no, no, no, not even mooding.

Not even that it's admitting guilt, but just because it feels like the right thing to do.

Again, like that money, whatever earring money could go to some of those claimants who are not legitimate.

As we just established, there are people who come out of the woodwork who try.

Like, that's just not the way that things are done.

So when she's yelling at Crystal and it's like, you, you're just doing that out of the court of public opinion, but like there is a law and I will follow the law like

i i i understood what she was saying it's like

you can't just like operate based on feeling especially when you don't know which of the big group of people which are the legitimate victims which there are and who are people who are just who are trying to further victimize those people right so

She didn't get her point across in any good way, but that was like

the first time where I feel like I actually understood her frame of mind.

No, for sure.

And by the way, I'm like sympathetic to the fact that like what she's going through fucking sucks.

But I think just the way that she acts towards the women, like, and unevenly, like, yeah, the way she got so mad at Kyle, when like Kyle really didn't do anything, like calm down.

The way she's just so unrelenting on Sutton.

And I thought it was so manipulative how she was like.

to Crystal, like, I've been such a good friend with you.

I sat with you while you cried in Mexico.

So basically in Mexico, Crystal and Sutton had gotten to like a dumb fight and Crystal started crying.

And Erica was so like, like hating Sutton, like to the 10th degree.

She doesn't even like Crystal, but she went over to Crystal to be like, look, we're all victims of Sutton.

It was so calculating and so manipulative.

It actually like it looked pathetic.

It looked so desperate on Erica's part that I wish Crystal had been like, please, you didn't come over to me for me.

You came over to me to like make this group against Sutton.

It was so obviously like manipulative.

Oh, of course.

I can't believe.

Sorry.

Sorry, my phone dropped.

I can't believe Crystal didn't see that.

Like, you're just telling me and I can tell you that it's like, she didn't care.

Like, she didn't even look at Crystal twice before that.

And now she's like, I get it, girl.

Like, I get it.

Like, it was so fraudulent.

Yeah.

Also,

I had mostly been hearing about all this Diana stuff, like, from you and, like, from like Instagram or, you know, people just talking about, oh, Diana's, like, so evil, whatever.

And that moment, the first night that they got to Aspen was like really nasty.

The C word.

The C word, like, so nasty.

But taking that out of it, like up until that point, I actually, am I the only one who like kind of understood where Diana was coming from about the miscarriage thing?

Like, for sure, by the way, like that was a weird thing

at Garcelle's party.

Yeah, first she comes in being like, you can be here, but you're bleeding, but you're miscarrying.

It's like, shut up.

Like,

this really happened to this person.

And, like,

and then in order to say like, oh, no, I do care.

She's like.

telling her something that she hasn't like and expecting a warm reaction.

No, so that's where I disagree.

I think like no one's really talking about, because like Diana's the worst, but no one's really talking about how like it all started.

Like Sutton, that was really fucked up, what she said.

Like even if there was inconsistencies in like you're on bed rest, but you're here, like shut up.

But everything that happened after that, in that conversation, and then just afterwards, like is so insane.

Like Diana's so out of pocket on so many things.

She's such a mean girl, like beyond.

And I think like Sutton, like for the one time in her life, like decided to be on the offense.

And she like handled it like in an extremely unethical manner.

Like that was not cool, what she said to Diana about the miscarriage.

But then every like it's just incessant.

It's non-stop.

And like she just, she could have decided she doesn't like Sutton and like moved on from it.

But like she just keeps going lower and lower.

And like when they're all just like sitting there and everyone's being mean to Sutton, like not just Diana.

And the way that Garcelle's like the only one with a heart is so beyond surprising to me.

And I, I don't know how Sutton pretends to be friends with Kyle.

Kyle is the worst fucking friend.

No, anyway.

She's a terrible sister, a terrible friend.

Kyle is like doing this thing this season where it's like, I'm just going to be fucking lazy and just talk about everybody else's beef, not get involved in anything and just like continue to bring shit up when people are on the mend or like just constantly.

She is stirring the pot.

Like it's so crazy.

So she's not an obvious way.

She's not even being subtle.

And it's like.

She did it to Sutton all last season, like bringing up any awkwardness Sutton was experiencing.

It's like, let things just happen.

And then this season, she's doing it all the time.

And it's so weird.

I don't know how, like, someone doesn't call her out and just like that whole conversation in Aspen was because of Kyle starting it.

Yeah.

Oh, by the way, Kyle brings everything up.

And she's gotten like lazy over the years.

You're right.

Like, she used to have like a really good way of being subtly bringing stuff up.

This time, she's like, so let's talk about Sutton.

Yeah.

And she's not even good at hiding it anymore.

No, she'd be like, thanks, everyone, for coming, but it feels like Sutton and Diana don't like each other.

Let's talk about that.

But, but, but when Kyle and Erica are having a fight and Kyle's really torn up about it, she wants to speak to Erica privately, but she insists that everyone else air their shit out in the whole group.

So last week when I was telling you about like her and Kathy, like her just kind of blowing up Kathy's spot at every chance with the purse and the slippers and you thought maybe it was her way of like getting in on the fanfare.

What are your thoughts now that you've actually seen it?

I think it's a little bit of both still.

I do think it's her still like just trying to

you know, be in on Kathy's moments because everything Kathy does is like accidentally iconic.

Viral.

But I also think it's like her wanting to just like put her down.

But I mean, if Kathy does snap next week, it's shocking that she didn't snap sooner.

Like she's so disrespected by Kyle and Rinna too.

And she's in a house.

I'm like, why is Kathy in a bunk bed?

She's your sister.

She's like,

she's your older sister.

I would never put Olivia in a bunk bed when there's other rooms that I put my friends in.

Oh my God, totally.

The accommodations is weird.

When I saw Kathy laying in the bunk bed, I'm like, wow, she's a real trooper.

Like, even though she's like this hoity-toity Hilton, the richest one of the group, like she's laying in a bunk bed.

Also, everyone's like, oh my God, this thing next week, it's so big.

Like, it's so crazy.

But if Lisa Rinna is our only witness and narrow-I'm going to go ahead and say it's a big, fat, nothing burger, honestly.

I don't think it's anything.

I totally agree.

I don't think it's anything.

And I think if we're going on the word of Lisa, like I'm, this is a nothing.

It's a nothing.

100%.

And by the way,

justice for Kathy, like the way Lisa had the absolute gall

to say in her, in her confessionals, like, all right, Kathy, like promoting the tequila, like it's a lot.

We get, like, you're kidding me, right?

Yeah.

You're kidding.

Rina Beauty, Rina Rose.

And that's just this season.

QVC.

Yeah.

DNA clothing for your kids.

Like every season.

It's another low-budget affair.

At least this tequila, by the way, they sent me a bottle because I was firmly Team Kathy.

They reached out.

Thank you, Casa del Sol.

It's backed by Eva Longoria, a ton of celebrities.

It's extremely legitimate.

Like jealous wench much, Lisa.

And it's not like they don't drink tequila.

Yeah, like it's not like she's literally bringing them yoga mats.

Okay, like and they're all partying like let's do yoga.

It's not a big deal.

And Kathy's just, Kathy's not a professional thirst monster like the others.

So yeah, are her overtures like a little over the top?

Like, whoars the tequila?

Because she's just a normal human being.

She doesn't think, how can I subtly like have an advantage in this scene?

She doesn't think the way the other women think in order to like promote themselves without being obvious.

She doesn't care.

She's on the show.

She's famous.

Oh, this is a great platform.

I just invested in this thing.

Let me put it on the show.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I really felt for feel for her on this trip.

And I, I,

I'm, it's going to take a lot of convincing and some real fucking footage for me to turn.

Real footage.

So they filmed the reunion this week.

It's, I think, the only reunion in history that doesn't have a cast photo.

Andy said, like, it was so, they could not speak.

Like, nobody got up for a photo.

They all just left.

They didn't even realize till afterwards that they forgot the cast photo.

That's, I wonder what the beef is, like, and if long-standing friendships are being challenged.

Cause if it's just the usual, like...

Garcel versus everyone who's so fucking mean.

And yeah, and Garcelle having to put all morality on her back.

No, it's, but thank God we have her.

Thank God we have her.

She is just, is she not?

Like, do you, like, do you understand what I've been saying?

Like, is she your favorite housewife of all time?

She really is because, like, she's so on the money.

And she's still funny and entertaining and all that.

And like, she sticks up with her, for her friends, like, even when it's not popular.

Like, she's, she's that saying, like, what's popular isn't always right.

And what's right isn't always popular.

Bruno.

Sorry, Bruno loves herself.

So we'll get back on track with the recaps this week.
