S5 Ep4: From Iconic to Moronic: Thursday, January 6th, 2022

Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the morning toast.

Happy Thursday, the Thursday of the longest week of all time.

Hey, Claude, how are you doing?

Hello, Jacqueline.

This is literally the longest week of all time.

Thank you so much for pointing that out.

Yeah, no, I felt it to be important.

Last night, I was sitting in bed and I was like, it's only Wednesday.

This is criminal.

And then my night really took a turn for the worst.

And we are a little late on delivering today's podcast.

And I just need to own up to that and explain what happened here.

Starting at 4 a.m., my smoke detector alarm started going off, beeping once every 30 seconds.

I was like laying in bed up timing it, and it just stopped.

We had to change the battery, and it was atrocious.

I was up from 4 to 5 because I couldn't fall back asleep with...

it in the background.

It like it didn't keep me up after that, but like it was so annoying.

I had white noise on.

I had my noise canceling AirPods in.

I could still hear it.

And I was like, well, we definitely can't podcast if that's going to beep once every 30 seconds.

I will drive people insane.

No, that's a particular type of torture, especially if you're trying to sleep.

Yeah, and I was just like, so worried about Bruno, but I checked in on him and he was sleeping like a little baby.

I guess it was just me.

These days, I'm a light sleeper, it's the body's way of getting you ready for motherhood.

So, I've heard.

So, I wake up at anything and then I can't fall back asleep.

Tarch,

tarch,

but here we are, and

it's off, so I have peace in my home.

There's nothing like peace in your own home.

No, there is not.

How are you doing?

I am good.

We have a great episode for you guys.

Oh, I got a haircut.

You didn't really, like, say anything since we've been on this interface.

Well, I actually, I did notice it when you were combing your hair, which is like a new thing that you like to do while we podcast from home.

Well, okay, podcasting from home, I don't have a desk.

My desk, quote unquote, is my vacuum for all my makeup.

So I'm sitting in front of like, you know, combs, brushes, makeup, makeup brushes.

How am I not supposed to touch them and use them?

I know.

It's really, it's trying, but it's extremely trying.

I did see your new layers and I was like, I'll wait till the show to address the haircut in the room.

And it looks so fabulous.

Thank you.

It's like a very subtle haircut, but for me, it's like I feel like a completely different woman.

And it's like, is everyone looking at my hair?

I think that they are.

I actually knew that you were coming on here with your fresh haircut.

So I was like, okay, I have to do my hair today and I need something to cover my big fat face because yesterday was just a whole lot of face.

So I did my hair and I have you to thank for that.

It's a pleasure.

I have you to thank for making me so.

You know that song?

No.

Gavin DeGras.

Oh my God, you haven't lived.

No, I'm so sorry.

Where is Gavin?

We need new music.

Looking for Gavin.

Very low-key guy, constantly, you know, coming up for air and then going back down.

It's been a while since we got new music.

It always slaps.

He's one of my favorite artists, probably, of all time.

Like, he's like Kelly Clarkson level to me in that pantheon of just can do no wrong.

And I would like to put it out there.

I'd like to manifest in like the word, the buzzword of 2022.

I'd like to manifest some new Gavin deGras music.

It's not going to happen unless you say it out loud.

That's not how I roll, but that's what the kids are doing.

They're manifesting things.

And there's something to all of this.

I don't know.

They really think they're doing something and I'm not convinced.

But I don't want to yuck, I don't want to yuck someone's yums.

And what, and one member of the manifestation crew is the snatcher.

And so I just, I'm going to leave it at that.

Speaking of not doing something, I do have to let you know that I did not watch the Real Housewives of Orange County last night.

What happened?

I went out to dinner and it just like, it wasn't in the cards.

It wasn't in the curds.

Okay, well, I watched this week and last week, so I'm all caught up.

And I will give you my thoughts.

It's pretty good.

It's all over the place.

And I just

need to parse out how I'm feeling.

But I feel like it has the makings of like really good groundwork for a really good season.

Just this Noella girl is

confusing.

She's off the charts.

She's confusing.

I'm confused.

And

we will have to break it down.

So that's sad that you didn't watch, but everyone's entitled.

It wasn't, it wasn't

oh

what mad i have this handheld mirror and i remember last night when i was like doing my makeup the handheld mirror fell off my table and i just realized it's completely shattered is that seven years of bad luck it depends if you subscribe to those notions Okay, so I don't.

Yeah, no, I use a handheld mirror that is cracked.

That's been cracked for two years and I still use it every day.

So I guess that's technically bad luck.

I should throw it away, but I don't want to get it.

It still works.

I can still see myself.

oh that but now i'm just like looking at the mirror and it's haunting me throw it away i will now that i know about it not your problem

not my problem well we have a lot to talk about today and then we'll recap real house lives of orange county i also started a new book last night my eight months in i'm finally reading my first pregnancy book Oh, good.

It's called Expecting Better by Emily Oster.

My doctor recommended it.

And so far, I'm really enjoying it.

But like all of my dreams last night were like pregnancy statistics.

Yeah, and that's just not somewhere I want to be.

So I'm going to try and read it like more in the afternoon and not right before bed.

Otherwise, like my brain is going into like charts mode.

Yeah, no, you're consumed with the pregnancy.

Yeah, but and I'm every time I'm like reading a new chapter, I'm like, fuck, I should have read this in the beginning, but no one really like vehemently recommended any books to me.

And so far, like everything that she's saying that you should do, like I'm, there's nothing that was like, oh, fuck, I did that and I shouldn't have, except for the time I ate tuna fish.

I just, it was

it good,

you know what?

It wasn't once, it was twice, and um,

it was good, but I hope those mercury levels, I hope everything's okay.

I think you're okay, okay.

But if not, blame Ben, he forced it on me.

It's Ben's fault when in doubt, blame Ben.

100%.

How is Ben doing anything?

He's doing very, very well.

He's not here right now, which is why it's so quiet and just a perfect way

environment for podcasting because Ben's toxic energy is not here.

I understand completely.

And you have the piece.

We have Dew and

Brew in the background.

And we do have a live studio audience.

So that's really exciting.

Everyone's been asking us to get people.

Fan Fridays are back.

Fan Fridays are back.

Two seats.

Dew and Brew.

Sometimes, maybe if her mother will allow it.

Magoo.

Oh, I miss Magoo.

So yeah, I think we should dive in.

I have

nothing to say in the TV recap, but lots to say elsewhere.

Okay, so without further ado, do it do, it is time for the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

Wonderful.

So what do we got for the first story?

Oh, is it the picture of Kim and Pete?

It is.

I hate to lead with the same story like three days in a row, but this is just developing breaking news.

And we asked and we received pictures of Kim and Pete catching rays together in the Bahamas.

So, displaying different approaches to dressing for the region, Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson were snapped enjoying each other's company in the Bahamas on Wednesday.

Paparazzi caught the two walking on a dock together after disembarking from a boat for their daytime date.

Kim wore an all-black ensemble, a plunging black top that looked like a one-piece bathing suit,

with a black Louis Vuitton backpack and slip.

Oh, with um,

sorry, he was wearing that.

She was wearing a black, plunging black top and baggy distressed denim paired with matching shades.

And he was wearing a blue Letterman jacket with cream-colored sweats underneath and his Louis Vuitton backpack.

Okay.

I'm sorry, Kim's jeans were out of control.

Do you know how hot it is in the Bahamas?

Like, what are you doing?

I'm hesitant to comment on Kim's fashion because I feel like, you know, I'm commenting on Michelangelo painting the cispain chapel.

And for who am I?

But what?

Like, this was.

No, by the way, outside of the environment that she was in, the outfit is, you know, like objectively cute.

But what are you wearing big old jeans for on the beach?

I have no freaking clue.

That was really shocking.

They are so mismatched.

Neither of them, they don't look like they're going to the same place and neither of them look like they're in the Bahamas.

The jeans were really shocking.

But again, like, I really try to just

let go and like let Kim do her fashion thing.

And I'm sure, like, in two years, I'll be wearing baggy jeans on the beach because that's just how these things are.

I can actually assure you that I will never be doing that.

And like, looking at those pictures was giving me armpit sweat.

I'm like, do these people not get warm?

Yeah.

No, it was, it wasn't the aesthetic that I was looking for, but I'm still happy to have the pictures.

Well, it was a watershed moment.

It's the first photo of them that I've seen that's like somewhat visible.

Like the one that we have from, you know, Knott's Berry Farm or whatever it's called was blurry and dark.

Like for me, this is a real photo of them and it's high quality and it's like crazy.

Well, we have we have a few things.

Like we've had like fans like seeing them at the movie theaters in Staten Island where like they were together.

We had you know them with flavor flaves.

Flavor.

But yeah, these are like photos that should be iconic, but the outfits are making them iconic for the wrong reasons.

No, these are photos that should be iconic, but the outfits are making them moronic.

Yeah, yeah, and it and it pains me to

say that.

But I do believe this is the first paparazzi photo of them, correct?

Together.

I can't decipher what's paparazzi and what's like fans.

No, I'm not talking about fans.

But the fans have gotten some good stuff of them.

Yeah, but it's not like premium.

Like this is really premium.

Like I could see, you know, the pores on Kim's face.

Like it's really high quality.

Yeah, but the outfits are so low quality it it really took away from this really special moment i agree it's an extremely confusing photo because you would see those two people and you'd be like oh they're going to a winter wonderland themed party and then they're literally on the beach yeah also she posted a selfie like a bikini selfie today so it's like she's you know doing the vacation thing where was that picture where's that paparazzi photo she's posting in real time yeah no but it's like okay so you're wearing a bikini in the bahamas like can we see that right right right Like, where did the jeans go?

Where did the jeans go?

They need to go into the incinerator.

And that's just insane to me.

They were the biggest pair of jeans.

They probably take up so much space in her suitcase.

Like, how does she have space to pack other things?

Yeah, those are some big jeans.

They're enormous.

I hope that that trend just does not trickle down to me, honestly.

But I can't help.

You never know.

You really never know.

And I'm sure in two years, I will look back at this and be clowning on myself.

But I really don't think so.

I just want to say, like, I

dislike the jeans.

Like, I think objectively they look cute.

It's just an unnecessary place to be wearing them.

Beyond.

Beyond.

Okay, yeah.

Yeah.

It definitely took away from this really special moment, though it is still incredibly special.

Agreed.

Are you ready for our next story?

Some more Kardashian news.

These are the only people making news these days, and I was thinking about it, and I was like, you know what I think it is?

Because when I'm reading the stories, it's like either it's the Kardashians and like what their farts smell like, or it's like every celebrity has COVID right now.

No, you're right, they're the only people keeping it interesting in Hollywood, and they're putting the industry and the town on their back.

But it's because I think like everyone has COVID, so they're not, and I mean, like, so-and-so having COVID isn't news, so

they're all we're talking about.

Yeah, I thought of that yesterday, how like literally our whole show is always about the Kardashians.

It comes in waves, but I do feel like this week in particular, because everyone else is sort of out of commission.

100%.

But But Corey Gamble is showing off support for Tristan Thompson with a jersey with his name on it amid the paternity scandal.

Chris Jenner's boyfriend Corey Gamble made a surprising show of support for Tristan on Tuesday, holding up the NBA players' number 13 jersey for paparazzi in LA.

Gamble had attended Thompson's Sacramento Kings losing game against the LA Lakers, which came on the heels of him copying to the paternity suit against him.

Wait, Tristan plays for the Sacramento Kings?

Yeah, I learned that yesterday, too.

That's really sad.

Where was he last playing?

He was playing in Boston.

Yeah, and the Cavaliers at one point.

So Sacramento is, I mean, if they were still trying to work in New York.

It's in New York.

Yeah.

It's not New York.

I love Sacramento and New York this time of year.

So beautiful.

It's in California, yes, logistically.

I'm just talking about like his career.

I didn't know that.

Like, the way that I perceive the NBA, and again, that's just, this is just my own unique

POV.

It's like the Sacramento Kings, no shade to their fans, is like one of the most broke down,

unwell franchises.

It used to be owned by the Maloofs.

I never have spent time thinking about the Sacramento Kings.

And if you asked me two days ago what the Sacramento team name was, I don't know if I could have given you an answer.

Well, that was the other thing.

I was like, and maybe I'm actually just making this up.

I was pretty sure the Sacramento Kings changed their name, did they not?

Why would they change it?

They were in desperate need of a rebrand.

You're asking the wrong girl.

But I don't think.

But I guess if the article says the Sacramento Kings changes.

It doesn't.

I don't think that they did.

There's been a lot of changes with sports teams, but I think it's like more so like the LA Rams, the Chargers, like those football teams.

I haven't seen, not that I would see, but I haven't heard about...

basketball teams.

No, I just like, in my mind, I was living in a world where they changed their name But in the actual world I don't think that that happened I don't think it happened too but Tristan did join the team and Chloe and Corey seems to be supporting him.

What are your thoughts?

People are extremely pressed.

I'm extremely disappointed in Corey.

I'm not really sure what he was signaling like is it you know

what was he saying with the jersey like I

I can't imagine how someone can even defend Tristan.

That's why I'm like struggling with

I think what he's saying with the jersey is like, Tristan's my boy, and he's made mistakes, but like, he's still

family, yeah, or even friend.

And I have to be honest, I know people like are enraged about this sort of and expect like me to have that same energy, but this doesn't really bother me.

Like, if the whole family were like supporting him and having his name, sorry, it bothers me, I would be confused.

But like, if one member of the family wants to stand by Tristan or like be there for him,

okay.

Agreed, if it, if it comes, like, actually, like, in a personal on a personal sense like standing by them but you know like chloe has been so publicly embarrassed by this man so many fucking times that right now he doesn't really need anyone like publicly standing up for him like that actually pisses me off and i'm really disappointed in corey because he should know better yeah i don't know i mean i just would hope that like whatever like that if chloe that chloe is fine with this and i feel like she might be i feel like she doesn't want everyone to just up and leave him you know if he if him and corey are really good friends then maybe corey should be there for him and he just like showed off the jersey and like i don't know it didn't really like bother me so much maybe it should

no it's just and corey is a king so like i just trust his judgment well that's the thing corey is a king so it's like where is he going with this i think he's like going to be like a good friend you know

but it's just not adding up

But what if they were like really good friends before and now he's like obviously made this mistake?

What do you do?

It's tough, but you side with the family always.

Yeah, but maybe they're not requiring people to take sides.

I don't know.

It's just different because it's true, Dad.

He's never, he's not going anywhere, really.

Right, that's the thing.

This person's in their life forever.

Um, and I have to imagine Corey is very much like a peacemaker in the family, yes, and constantly bringing people together.

So, I imagine that that's this is his way of doing that, but it's too soon.

Okay, that's fair.

Yeah,

are you ready for our next story?

Yes, ma'am.

Chris Knoth is being cut from And Just Like That season finale.

He filmed in Paris and those scenes are now cut amid sexual assault allegations.

The upcoming season finale for And Just Like That will reportedly no longer feature Chris Noth.

His character, Mr.

Big, previously, spoiler alert, big spoiler, died in the first episode,

but they were screen, they were seen photographed filming in Paris, and he was supposed to be in the season finale, and now he will not be

a ghost.

Flashback, Not that I watch, but

maybe.

Now, no more.

I mean, this really doesn't disrupt a storyline at all if he's already dead.

So it's not really

that they're really doing anything or making any hard decisions.

100%.

They're so brave.

Like we're cutting a dead person out.

They're so brave.

Yeah, I agree.

I don't really care.

Like, now that he's dead, bye.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well.

We were curious to see what sort of position they would take on everything that happened.

They all put out some lukewarm statements, and now they're cutting him from a scene that was probably irrelevant to begin with.

So still doing the least.

You know, I was going to say the three of them did like pen a letter together supporting the women who spoke forward.

But yeah, very much not making a thing of this.

Yeah.

Okay, cool.

Have you still been watching the show?

I have.

A new episode came out today, so I obviously haven't seen that yet.

But the most recent episode was kind of crazy.

Really?

Yeah, I still stand by that.

Like, I

don't know if you, I honestly can't tell if you would like it because some episodes are really good and some episodes are really bad.

But for the most part, like, I really just am enjoying it.

It's a quality show, like, with quality writing, quality characters who you've known and loved for years.

And it's just like a fun thing to go on.

And honestly, the best part is when new episodes come out, like, people's hot takes on TikTok are really premium because so much of the shit that goes down in the show is so unbelievably stupid.

And it's fun to see people all over the world talking about it on TikTok.

That's fun.

And you do love to be a part of something.

Precisely.

Okay, so you're a part of this.

I still don't think I will watch it.

I came close to starting Emily in Paris last night, and I was just like, no.

No, seriously.

Like, I'm telling you, don't.

I would rather read a book by an economist about the statistics of pregnancy.

That's really where I went.

I was like, I do not have, I just, I'm on such a different wavelength than Emily.

Do you know what I mean?

And as you should be, because Emily is an unwell,

disturbed sociopath.

It's the worst fucking show.

And I really don't think you should bring that energy into your pregnancy right now.

Like you're at an extremely sensitive time in your life.

So I honestly don't know if I'm going to watch it because I had the opportunity.

I had the time.

I had the energy.

And I chose not to.

So it might have just removed itself from my content plate.

Seriously?

Don't do it.

Like, for real.

I wish I could get back those eight hours.

Oh, by the way, are you following this Jeopardy thing?

No, but I saw that you are, and and I want you to explain it to me.

Okay, so there's a contestant who is her name is Amy, and she, side note, was also recently just robbed, which was very bizarre.

That's what I saw.

Yeah, but beyond that, she had gained like some fame because she's on her way to, I think last night was her 26th win in a row.

She's almost at a million dollars one.

She's so smart.

Like I watched last night's episode, Jackie.

It wasn't even like a competition.

Like she was ahead by $30,000.

It is,

it's just like,

it's, oh, and Ken Jennings is hosting currently.

He's the person who currently holds the most wins.

Well, how many wins?

How many wins and how much money does Ken Jennings have?

I'm not entirely sure.

Let's Google Ken Jennings' win streak here.

And second question: was the robbery?

Oh my God.

What?

He won 74 shows and $2.5 million.

Damn.

And my next question.

Amy, what's her name?

Was the robbery related at all to this current Jeopardy streak?

No, it's just incredibly weird timing because she's in L.A.

filming these episodes.

Wow.

That's crazy.

And she's okay.

She's okay.

She's okay to the show?

She's okay.

She was okay.

Her name is Amy Schneider.

And she is,

I think, at her 20th win.

She's got a ways to go.

26th.

That's what you said.

She's got a ways to go if she's going to beat Ken Jennings at his own game.

But I feel like if he's the host now, he's going to try and trip her up.

But I'm telling you.

He's not going to let her.

This woman couldn't be stopped.

And you know what?

I knew a Jeopardy clue last night from like the crown.

What was it?

So the category was antonym.

And it was, the A was in quotes.

So they were giving definitions of words, and you had to guess the antonym of that definition that that starts with an A.

So it was to take the throne.

So the antonym of taking the throne,

abdicating the throne.

And they didn't get it.

I was literally screaming at my fucking TV.

I'm like, abdicate, bitch, abdicate.

Amy didn't get it.

No, it was Chantal, one of the girls.

Oh my god, stressful.

And by the way, Amy's so good.

She's not even just winning.

Like, they literally interrupted the game last night and was like, oh, you know, she guessed

for the same category, she guessed ambiguous when the answer was actually

another word that starts with A.

Arbitrary.

Oh, yes.

Oh my God, very good.

So she guessed ambiguous, which wasn't the correct answer.

And then like two minutes later, the judges were like, actually, your answer was technically correct, Amy, and they gave her the money.

Wow.

So she's changing.

She's changing.

She's smart.

She's changing the game.

Right, like she's creating answers that even the experts didn't even think of.

Damn, I hope she goes far, but I know that Ken's not going to let her beat him.

She already has gone far, and that is so funny.

No, but like, she, she has ways to go if she wants to, you know, come for Ken's throne.

No, but it's just been a really long time since I think someone has made this many, um,

this long of a run.

And what's her, what's her personal story?

What's her background?

What does she do?

She's, she's a trans woman, and she's an engineering manager.

I'm not sure what that means.

Like, does she have hobbies that have allowed her to know all this stuff?

I didn't read her autobiography.

I do wonder, people who are

well-versed in trivia, like, how do they know all of this?

Is it part of their job?

Is it just like for fun?

No, and some people definitely have like niche knowledge on random trivia, but like you to know everything from like architecture to

composers to pop culture, even like there's sometimes more often than not, like current events.

So I don't know.

I don't know what you do for a living or what your interests are that get you to to know that much stuff.

Yeah, okay.

Unless you work in academia.

Yes, but even still, you would have a specialized

subject

makes you think.

Unless you're like a homeroom teacher and you know, it's or your substitute

100%.

100%.

Our next story, the 2022 Grammy Awards have been postponed due to the uncertainty surrounded COVID-19 Omicron variant.

So the Grammys are postponed until further notice.

The Recording Academy and CBS announced in a joint statement on Wednesday that the award show would be postponed amid the ongoing COVID surge.

So does that mean they're not announcing like the nominees either?

I don't know.

I guess not.

I mean, I'm sure they're hoping that they can do it like a month later or something and just move on, but they're going to have to make some decisions soon.

Right, because it's like you're fucking with the timetable of like when

music released is considered for what years.

Yeah.

yeah and then eventually like if they put it on too long like then we're into the next year and i i mean maybe they should just do it without a show and just like announce the nominations and that just take me back to such dark times yeah yeah it's so upsetting and also like we're coming into awards season so if the grammys are already you know putting the brakes on then i'm sure a lot of first of all that and golden globes isn't even happening in any but that has nothing to do with covet that has to do with them being a fraudulent organization but then the other shows like who wants to be the one show that's, you know, they all sort of follow each other.

Super spreader.

So

this is crazy news for the Grammy World and also like a bummer for any big artists of this year who would have been, you know, super

Olivia Rodrigo.

Yeah.

Yeah, totally.

So we'll keep you posted on that.

And our fifth and final story,

if you're ready for it.

Why don't you sing it today and I'll play percussion, okay?

Okay.

It's the final story.

It's not.

It doesn't sync up.

We'll go acapella.

And that's a magic number.

No, that's the instrumental version.

Oh, that's what I meant.

Not a cappella moron.

Damn, it doesn't sync up.

Oh my god, it's like I don't even know music.

Truly.

Our fifth and final story is a little Coachella news.

Kanye West, Billie Eilish, will headline Coachella, and Swedish House Mafia has been added to the mix.

So we recently reported that Travis Scott, who was set to headline Coachella, is no longer headlining.

And instead, Billie Eilish, Billie Eilish, and Kanye are slated to headline the 2022 Coachella Festival.

And now, also, as an aside, Swedish House Mafia has been added to the bill.

So

also, this is another situation where it's like, who even knows if Coachella is going to happen at this point?

Oh, right.

But let's operate as if it is.

Oh my God, this is so depressing.

Like, I refuse to give in.

Like, for real, it's happening.

Just like, let it be.

Are you going to go to Coachella?

No.

I know you.

Well, I'm not saying I want it to happen because I care about the music.

I just, like, I cannot, I'm getting so many bad vibes this week.

Like, yeah, no, you just want to keep moving forward.

I just want to keep live events

on.

Yes.

But I mean, this is like, if assuming Coachella happens, this is great news for the fans.

I mean, Billie Eilish has performed a number of times, and Kanye will be a great headliner.

So I feel like

it all works out.

So if

I asked you, in your opinion,

who

what is Swedish house mafia?

What would you say to that?

It's a really interesting question.

I would say that they they are the original like house music guys.

I think it's

I think it's three people.

And do you know who any of them are?

That's my question.

I just know that like one of them, I believe at one point

had a wife who was on the show on E

about Europeans living in LA.

What?

That is not what I was expecting you to say.

That's what I think about.

I need to Google it.

Well, because I like wanted to tell you, the three people in Swedish House Mafia are already on their own, all three enormous DJs.

It's Axwell, Steve Angelo, and Sebastian Ngrosso.

And I just thought that was interesting.

Yeah, no, I'm 100% right.

I just Googled it.

Isabel Adrian, she was on Euros.

Who was the show?

Euros of Hollywood.

Damn, E has really tried a lot of crap over the years to like remain relevant after the Kardashians.

And she is married to Steve Angelo.

And so she was like, there were some of the other people in the cast either were DJs or, you know, had like DJ associations.

And she was the crème de la crime because she was married to Steve Angelo, Swedish house mafia.

You'd think like she'd be too good for that show.

Yeah.

Honestly, the show was pretty good.

Everything on E just like is so sad.

No, E has had some good shows, and I don't know why they get

why they can't get their shit together.

Yeah.

There were some really interesting cast members.

Oh, yeah, Bleona.

Have you heard of Bleona?

Do you ever watch a show?

Bleona is like a huge.

I've never even heard of it.

Bleona is a huge Albanian singer.

She's like the share of Albania.

Wow, it's like Caprice from Ladies of London.

Yeah.

No, it was a really good show.

Justice for Euros of Hollywood.

I didn't see myself going down that road today.

You know what's so weird?

Like, I don't think I can remember a time when you brought up like a cultural reference that I've never heard of.

I've never heard of the show.

It was only, I think it was a one-season wonder.

Your favorite.

I mean, that's the only shows I watch.

No, but there's something about E.

Like, someone, I don't understand, like, what goes on there,

but they are doing a new show.

I saw a commercial

relatively famous where it's like children of famous people are like going to a farm or something.

So it's trying to be like filthy rich cattle drive.

Yeah, it's giving like, I'm a celebrity, get me out of here.

Okay, who's on it?

Anyone we know?

The commercial was like

really poorly produced because they didn't tell me any of the famous people who were on.

Oh, well, we could also just Google it.

Relatively famous.

Relatively famous.

Ranch Rules, yeah.

Okay, I don't know any of these people.

Oh, really?

Like, in a very real way.

Well, that makes it, like, not fun, but it seems like a good idea.

Yeah, it does seem like a good idea.

But I mean, maybe when they explain who they are, like, but I mean, the only name I recognize there is one Hasselhoff.

But not the one from Rich Kids.

Was there a Hasselhoff in Rich Kids?

I think so.

Haley.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was actually thinking about Rich Kids of Beverly Hills yesterday.

Great show.

Great show.

Great launching platform for so many of my favorite people to follow on Instagram.

100% agreed.

So those are the fast five.

I feel as though you very much needed to know them.

And now we're going to get into the TV recap.

Yeah?

I wouldn't say very much needed to know the story.

It's like you kind of could know.

Yeah, no, that's just like what

you should could know.

Sure.

Right.

Yes, so you're going to tell me everything that happened on the Real Houses of Orange County so I don't have to watch it.

Now it is time for the TV recap.

So I watched both episodes of OC last night and I can't really, you know, piece together what was from last week or this week, which is fine.

So Noella, like, we're literally like one, two, three days out from her divorce and just like seeing how she's behaving and like what she's doing.

She goes to like lunch, you know, looks like a nice waterfront lunch.

Nicole.

With Nicole.

And she, at first, it seemed like Noella is kind of like getting really emotional.

And Nicole is like, let's get out of here because like, I guess Nicole like doesn't like public displays of emotion.

But then upon like watching the the flashbacks it's clear that like noella was just like drinking so much and was just like having a breakdown like emotionally and also just like being drunk and nicole was like being the sort of friend i guess she wasn't being like so coddly and like keeping and like comforting but it was just like we need to get the fuck out of here like you're they're already there it was such a crowded restaurant they're already showing up with cameras and like this girl is having an actual breakdown like i kind of really appreciated nicole's approach so i watched that episode, the one from two weeks ago, and I actually didn't see it that way.

I actually thought Nicole was being hella rude.

And that, like, knowing now that Noella was probably super drunk, I still think Nicole was fucking rude.

No, like, they showed flashbacks of like all the times Noella ordered a drink.

So it's clear that they were there for a very long time.

So it's not like she just started crying and she was like, let's, you know, let's split.

Right.

But she was just being quite emotional.

I find the whole Noella divorcing, I mean, it's really, first of all, it's bizarre to come onto a show and then episode two, like your husband's serving you.

But I went to Noella's Instagram because

I just wanted to see like how thirsty she is compared to, you know, she said Jen was really thirsty, which was one of the funniest reads of all time, like coming for her for tagging her in a photo of herself, which I actually, I would never say it to someone, but that is such a red flag as a, as a person.

Textbook thirst.

Textbook thirst.

Like, here's a picture of myself and I'm going to tag all of the like semi-influential people that I know.

Like I...

No, it's weird.

No, it's so weird.

But I would never actually let someone know know that's why I didn't like them.

So I, but I understood completely what Noella was saying.

Anyway, so I was like, I'll go to her Instagram and see, like, what she's about.

And it turns out that when her and her husband signed up for the show, they had to go through a background check.

And the background check exposed his tax issues.

And I guess that given that he wanted to pull out from the show and was like insisting that they pull out, and she felt like, and these are her words, that, you know, the show at that point was the only thing holding him accountable for all of his lies.

And, you know, everything was coming to light.

So then he splits and now she's like left picking up the pieces.

And I'm just finding it, I kind, I mean, I hate to agree with her, but I'm kind of with Jen, where it's like, this isn't adding up.

Like, the whole thing is so crazy.

And I feel like some of the women just want to be there for her.

And I appreciate that.

And that's a really sweet thing to do.

But like, there's something, we've seen so many housewives like go through it that at this point that like now I'm skeptical and I'm cynical and I'm just like, there's something weird here.

Jen says that they're not actually married.

I think that they, I don't think that that's true because like she did get served with papers, but like her just reactions to everything and like

I am just not fully buying it.

I think there's like so much more to this story.

I can't even fathom what the truth could be.

Also, it seems like a lot of the women are like slowly turning on Noella.

Like Heather is because Noella like, said, talked a little bit of crap about Heather.

If she, like, called her fake two times, and that got back to Heather.

Heather gets like is pretty chummy with Jen.

And obviously, Jen and Noella are like oil and water.

So I watched the episode, and you know, Heather went over to Jen's house.

And, like, I just find it so amusing how everyone acts around Heather, like, so desperate to be her friend, so desperate to make a connection, so desperate to be relevant.

And the Jen scene, like, was uncomfortable, I'm not going to lie.

Yeah, I didn't expect them to get along, but I guess anyone who like acts in deference to Heather is going to be a friend of Heather's.

Speaking of Gina, but I actually really like their friendship.

They went to the racetrack.

And I, I, considering I really like Gina and Emily, like, if they, I just,

I think they're friends with Heather more than just because she's like Heather Dubrow.

I think Gina and Heather like just are two people who naturally click and like you can't help who you click with.

So 100%.

The dynamics are interesting because they're like shifting and there's like a lot of cross-contamination.

Like, there's no clear sides or anything, but there's people who are just like aren't getting along with other people, but there are also some real friendships forming.

So

I think that that is a good

playing field for the rest of

the season.

But we need to figure out what's going on with Noella.

There's something about Noella.

Yeah, she

it's

something's off for sure with her story.

I will catch up on that because I actually am interested.

Also, her husband was like on TikTok, like making all these videos, like

addressing, confronting like shit that she said about him on the show.

Yep, and they're like going back and forth on Instagram, like putting out videos about like what's happening and who's been there for their kid and like how, you know, her credit cards are cut off and all she has is a credit card on Amazon and Instacart, and that's how she's gotten by.

And it's like, this is a lot of information for people who you didn't, like, for fans who have been around for four weeks.

It's a lot.

So,

I'm cautious.

I'm not, like, fully just like

feeling one way or another.

Yeah.
