Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the Morning Toast.

Happy Monday.

Hope everyone had an amazing, refreshing, delightful, and brilliant weekend.

I really had an amazing, refreshing, delightful, and brilliant weekend.

I really did.

It was so relaxing.

Caught up on my Z's, got some good sleep in, despite the big belly.

Watched a lot of great TV, read a horrible book.

So it was really all over the place, a little bit of everything.

And I saw my friends.

So I really felt like I did it all.

Had a nice blend

of activities.

Well, you love a blended moment.

You do.

I had an amazing weekend with one major...

Snafu.

I wouldn't say snafu.

I would say like

ruiner, one big ruiner.

Okay.

Do you know what it is?

No.

On Friday night, I was out at a restaurant and I saw Cuba Gunning Jr.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

So I'm in this restaurant that has like a bunch of different rooms.

So like I'm sitting in this one particular room called the Grill and he like pops his head in and I'm sitting by like the entrance and I guess he was looking for someone.

So he pops his head in and like looks around and like fully makes eye contact with me.

But you know, I'm just like one of millions so that he doesn't even recognize me.

Yeah, like I'm not even a

like a thought process.

And then I was like, I was getting really drunk and I was like, I think I'm going to say something.

Obviously, I didn't, but like I did go to the bathroom.

And then as I was like, making my way through the crowd, I got like stopped because like these people were just like

mobbing and I couldn't get through.

And who am I standing directly next to?

Cuba Gooding Jr.

Wow.

So it was a great weekend full of laughs, loves, friends, you guys actually have like very similar tastes in restaurants.

I saw him everywhere.

I saw him in the Hamptons recently.

That's crazy.

No, I know.

It's very jarring.

Are you okay?

Yeah, no, I'm fine.

But it did like rattle me like for a minute when I was in the restaurant.

That's rattling.

Yeah, it was just like

very like a disassociative, is that the right word?

Moment.

Yeah.

And And fuck him.

So

damn.

Sorry.

Other than that, I had a really nice weekend.

I'm so glad.

I too read a book that I hated.

I can't believe you hated.

She read One Day in December, which, if you're a reader and you like, you know, a Snitch's Choice, it's a classic.

It was so corny and it was hella long for a while where nothing happened.

It is pretty long, but if you like the book, then it's, you know, not long enough.

Didn't love the characters.

Like, I'm like, why is everyone obsessed with this guy, Jack?

Like, he sounds ugly.

Like, the way they keep describing him, like, he's messy i'm like who the fuck wants to meet with someone messy it was just not my favorite book but it did get me one book closer to my goal of 20 to my goal of 30 because i'm at 26 now so i am almost done with this book that i started and i did i would have finished it if it were good but you know i was avoiding it all weekend wish you were here by jodi picolt and it is so bad it's all about covid like i thought no no no it's more about covid than i could have ever even dreamed like first i was like okay it's about you know, she gets stuck on this island because there's, you know, like the travel bans and COVID is in the background, which is like, okay, kind of interesting, whatever.

Then it turns, it just like completely turns.

I don't wanna spoil it, but it's, it couldn't be more about COVID.

It could not be more about COVID.

That sounds awful.

And I'm gonna finish it because like I need to get to my Goodreads goals and because I do want to finish it before I make a judgment, but I'm at 70% and I would not recommend this to someone that I love.

Okay, but you would recommend it to someone that you despise.

Yes.

Got it.

Okay, I've got a few people I got to email the link to.

Well, yes, it was a great weekend.

Like, I had a good balance.

Like, Saturday, I was drinking all day.

We went to the pier 17 rooftop where they have those, like, cabins.

And it was just, I'm sorry you weren't there.

And I hate to like talk about it because I know.

No, I'm so glad you guys went and had a good time.

It was so nice.

It was just a great way to spend the day like in New York.

It was gorgeous out.

We played games.

We were drinking in this little cabin.

It was just a great Saturday.

And I feel like if I were going, you wouldn't have have felt as comfortable bringing games because you would have known.

No, in our group chat where you said, I'm too tired.

I'm not coming.

I then was like, oh, great.

Let me bring some games.

But then when I brought the games, Becky from the Redheads did let me know she also despises games.

But she put her different situations.

We totally won her over.

Like the camaraderie, the sportsmanship, and the sheer joy of the games was contagious.

Okay, I'm so happy for you guys.

That's a great way to spend the day.

It really was nice.

And then I got to spend all Sunday like cultivating a vibe and relaxing.

So I think that's called balance.

That is balance.

And you do love to see it.

You do definitely love to.

You do do.

Dude was here today and he's being like extra cute and like really attached to me.

So we have been alone since like Thursday, me and Theo, because

his father flew south.

And it's really just connected us in this like deep way.

And I think that's kind of what you're feeling, like that energy.

Yeah, no, he's just being very emotionally supportive.

You can always,

you can't count on Theo for a lot, but you can count on him to be extremely emotionally supportive.

Yeah, and you can count on Brew to be so handsome and charming.

So delicious and gorgeous.

So lovely.

Everybody loves Brew.

We have an amazing show because, of course, we've got the past five that we got to talk about.

You got some good shit in there.

Okay, good.

That's, it's always a toss-up.

So it's so great.

Never know.

Never know.

We're going to talk about the real housewise of Salt Lake City at the end of the TV recap.

And I heard you had some other things you wanted to throw in the TV recap.

Yes, here's what I watch.

I watched Sex Lives of College Girls.

Did you love it?

Love.

Good.

Oh my god, it was just like this beautiful little nugget of a show and it was so spot on in terms of capturing the culture of college, especially like small liberal arts school in the Northeast, which is where I went.

So I did feel very akin to it.

And

the like awkwardness and dynamics of freshman year.

Or it was palpable.

Yeah, it was really, really good.

So, I mean, we can talk about it more in the TV recap.

And And then I caught up on Yellowstone on the new season.

I had been saving it for a rainy day.

And when it rained, it poured.

And I watched the new season, and it is so fucking good.

It is the best show on television.

I got to get into it.

I'm just not going to be able to do it.

So good.

It's so, oh my God.

It was.

And then the new episode was on last night.

And so I just rolled into the new episode.

And I just, I love it so much.

Well, you rolled into the new episode, thus missing the season finale of succession.

I knew it was the season finale.

Actually, you want to blame someone?

Blame Blame Zach because I knew you were going to say that.

Because we had like a date to watch it together at a certain time and he just never showed up.

Well, to be honest, I watched the whole episode not

realizing it was the finale because it was episode nine and like most HBO episodes have 10 episodes.

Like it was just randomly nine, but it was incredible.

Did something finally fucking happen?

Something huge.

Thank you.

And something so unexpected.

Like you're thinking like what?

Like it's just, it's not even remotely what I was thinking was going to happen.

Okay, well, I'm really excited to watch something happen on the show where nothing happened.

Can you just plug yours for one second?

Uh,

I don't know.

Just plug your ears for one second.

I want to say one thing to do.

But then we have to put in spoilers in the

thing.

And, you know, I think people really appreciated that on the Sex in the City, even though they're like, All right, find spoilers.

You know, we're about to spoil Sex in the City again today.

And at this point, if you have avoided spoilers, like you're out of control.

You obviously don't spend a lot of time on the internet and you're not listening to this podcast.

Oh, and you're not watching Sex in the City because it's been out for four days.

So yeah, no, but like it's everywhere now.

So I'm sorry.

We're going to just

get into it without further ado.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I'll try.

I'm gonna watch Succession Today.

Does that work for you?

Or like it just takes away the fun.

No, it's just like everyone's talking about it today, and we're not because you couldn't do it.

I didn't realize it was a season finale.

Neither did I, but also the show is really bad.

It doesn't deserve my live viewing.

It's still pretty good.

No, it's really, really bad.

Not every episode.

So for a show that should be spectacular, it has everything, the storyline, the characters, the scenery, the HBO budget.

It's not good.

What I think about a succession is like, yes, not every episode is like a bang-out, like amazing thing.

And some of the characters are so unlikable that when it's one of those kind of low-key episodes, they're like laying groundwork for what comes next, you're just left with the characters.

And like, I can't even find someone even remotely sympathetic.

Like, I think the person I probably like best is Roman, and like, he's a freak, you know?

Yeah, so you're not left with much on the episodes when there's not crazy, high-intense drama.

Yeah, I guess, but it shouldn't, like, it doesn't always need to be such drama.

I'm trying to think if like Yellowstone is super dramatic this season, but it's always like crazy.

But they also are doing like a lot of more cowboy stuff and like a lot of, I don't know if it was always like this, but like a lot of music and like just scenes of ranching.

And I think like just people love

ranch life.

Ranch life.

Did you see the interview with the actor who plays Kendall Roy that went like completely viral?

Where he like is talking about how serious he takes it and playing it like a comedy, but also like Hamlet.

Right, but also like people then thinking like literally he was in Kendall Roy while he was doing this interview because he's being so serious.

Yeah.

I haven't read it, but.

It's a written interview, right?

I don't know.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And not a video.

Okay, then I saw a clip.

Yeah, I have to watch it because people are like obsessing over this interview, like how the guy, what's his name who plays Kendall?

Like is Kendall.

Got it.

Which makes sense because I don't think anyone's that good of an actor.

Yeah.

That makes sense.

Okay.

So now without further ado,

Wonderful.

Our first story, spoiler alert, but it's time that you found out.

We're talking about sex of the city, so.

Peloton responds to, and just like that, death with a new ad.

And just like that, Mr.

Big is alive.

Well, at least in a new ad for Peloton, the fitness company released a commercial featuring Chris Knoth on Sunday, just days after his beloved Sex in the City character was pronounced dead in HBO Max's revival series.

So the new commercial shows Chris Knoth and Jess King, who's a Peloton instructor.

Snowflake I mean, it depends.

Okay.

Where you're from.

Yeah.

And Jess King, who plays Allegra on the show, but she's a real Peloton instructor, sitting across from each other on a couch in front of a crackling fire.

He says, to new beginnings.

And then she says, should we take another ride?

Life's too short not to.

Then they say, and just like that, the world was reminded that regular cycling stimulates and improves your heart, lungs, and circulation, reducing your risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Cycling strengthens your heart, muscles, lowers resting pulse, and reduces blood fat levels.

He's alive.

So, you know, that was Ryan Reynolds' voice.

I just found that out while he was reading this.

I was shook by that.

I didn't really understand why.

I don't know either.

And

I also saw that he posted the clip.

Me too.

And so I was like, oh, that's where maybe he's an investor in Peloton.

That's what I was thinking.

But then remember when two or three years ago, I guess it was three years ago, when Peloton had that cringy Christmas commercial and then like Ryan Reynolds like parodied it for his gin company.

Oh yeah.

That was a weird time.

Yeah.

And so I'm like, what is Ryan Reynolds' connection?

He's now two for two on vibrant Peloton commercials.

No, there's something going on between Ryan Reynolds and Peloton.

Yeah.

But we need to discuss this.

Obviously, genius marketing.

Well, you know what?

Soul Cycle snapped back first and put out like a

tweet.

Like, maybe Mr.

Biggs should have gone to Soul Cycle.

Yeah.

And so, like, that was cute and funny, and it got like a lot of likes and it was very widely shared.

No, I'm sure social media managers across the world were quick

as to how to make the most of this opportunity.

No, millennials with like social media, with marketing degrees, like were

fully working this weekend.

Yeah, but no one got it better than Peloton.

But this begs the question, like, was this filmed in the last four days?

Or like, has Peloton been in on this the whole time, had this plan?

And maybe like HBO was like, hey, listen, we're about to like be slanderous as fuck if you want to get in front of it.

Right.

And so that was Chris Noath in the, he like looked kind of different.

I was like, is that someone pretending to be Chris Noath?

Because I'm like, his features just looked off, and I wasn't 100% sure.

By all accounts, it's him.

Yeah, no, I believe that.

So

I definitely felt like, it felt like they filmed it in the last four days but not only do they have to produce edit everything they also have to negotiate a deal with chris knowath for he obviously got paid to be like in this peloton ad so that takes months like i just i'm not sure i'm starting to feel like it was pre-planned yes but didn't peloton post something like on friday they had a statement yes that was very like backtracky

right so it seemed like they like freaked out put something out, and then like had a few days and kind of came up with something better.

Like it did feel like it was all happening in real time.

I don't know, but like to execute these contracts to get Chris to the studio to get commercial, get Ryan's voice.

So I guess he could have sent in a voice note, but you know, get a video person sound.

Like, you know, I mean, I guess it was just one shot and they literally like zoomed out.

But it's high quality.

Like, these things weirdly take a long time to do.

I hope that we get clarity, but if I had to guess, I would say that this was filmed before Thursday.

I don't know

I don't know

I kind of don't think so

that would be crazy no that would be crazy and it would be very unlikely but it did feel all very thrown together like with their initial like panicky statement and now this like funny lighthearted version yeah no I feel like with this Peloton is complete not that like it even should really have real

world think my Peloton's gonna kill me like you need to stop watching TV right or you were just not gonna get on the Peloton to begin with and now you you have an excuse totally but I do think that with this like Peloton I hope the stock levels because they don't deserve they didn't do anything wrong yeah yeah and it really it is good to work out and exercise those cardiovascular muscles but you know what's so funny like out of any brand like I feel like we're always talking about the Peloton stock here on the show like it's always a topic of conversation maybe because they're you know a newer brand that's like has relevance that is public and they're also just like really part of like the cultural like zeitgeist and And I feel like, especially with COVID, like Peloton is a real indicator of where we're at.

It's just like such a big part of people's lives.

Yeah.

And like, it's a bigger part when you're staying home more.

So it's just like, I do feel like it's kind of a decent barometer for what's going on in the world.

Yeah, no, I agree.

Like, the more we're talking about Peloton, like, the more we're staying inside.

Right.

The higher Peloton stock is, the less we're going out.

Right, right.

Down with Peloton.

No, I love it.

I miss my Peloton.

It's been so long.

You can't do it?

Or you just don't want to do it?

No, I can, but like, why would I?

I'm like a sloth on there.

Totally.

I might as well just be listening to music and sitting.

No, no.

You're getting something done.

You're getting your heart rate up.

No, but like

when I did it, I did it maybe like four months pregnant.

I only did it once during pregnancy and like it was just pathetic.

And now I'm like...

Triple the size.

It's just, I don't know what I would accomplish other than a bit of fun.

But just even like putting on a sports bra is like not going to happen for me.

And I don't even think I have one that would comfortably fit.

I fucking hate sports bras.

Can I just say?

I like, I mean, they're a great tool, but um, I would have to buy if I like it would just be a whole thing.

Yeah, also, if you're listening to this as a podcast, please know you are not getting pulled over.

There's an incredibly loud, annoying siren behind us, but you're good.

I've heard louder.

We're gonna continue on.

I've heard louder.

I just want to know you don't have to look in your rearview mirror.

No one's coming behind you.

Yeah.

Or maybe, I mean, I'm not sure.

Or maybe they are.

Yes.

You hear two sirens.

Have you broken a law recently?

Maybe you should pause and make sure that there's not another siren coming for you.

Are you ready for our next story?

Sure.

The Golden Globe nominations are here.

We have a full

this.

Oh.

I'm rolling my eyes.

I fucking hate like

these types of award shows, you know?

Oh, more than any.

I hate the shows, but I do find interest in the nominations.

Yeah.

And also, everyone else hates the shows because Golden Globes will no longer be streamed on NBC.

They will no longer be lively broadcasted.

I don't know if they're going to be televised at all.

I think that's for the best because you know what?

We really don't care.

Yeah, no,

we said we didn't care, and they now,

yeah, they know.

But they're still going to, you know, go ahead with, I guess, having the show.

Okay.

So this year's event won't be televised.

The 2022 Golden Globes are pushing forward.

On Monday morning, the Hollywood Farm Press Association announced the movies and television shows nominated for the 79th annual Golden Globes Awards.

Snoop Dogg helped announce the nominees.

So even though they

will not be aired on NBC, it's unclear if and where they would be aired.

Maybe they're still working that out.

We have our nominations.

Are you ready?

Yeah, I just want to say that I do feel like this is like the beginning of the end for the Golden Globes, correct?

Like, I mean, God willing.

Yeah, from our mouth to God's.

Like, and I just feel this way about Award shows.

I do think that between the Grammys, I mean, the Emmys are just like.

Grammys are great.

No, between Grammys, Oscars, Golden Globes, like, I would think the Golden Globes would go first.

Yeah.

And then I do I don't see the Oscars or Grammys going anywhere.

And see, the Emmys are unique in the sense that, like, they cover exclusively TV.

So, like, they really are kind of, like, a necessary thing.

Whereas, like, Golden Globes, like, TV, and, like, get out of here.

No, they're extremely redundant, and it's like a seated dinner, and it just always comes off as so

tone-deaf.

Yeah.

So.

It's interesting to hear what they think are the top shows.

So let's get into it.

Best TV series, musical, or comedy.

The Great, Hacks, Only Murders in the Building, Reservation Dogs, Ted Lasso.

Only Murders in the Building should win.

Yeah, honestly, those are all good shows, except, and

a lot of people ask me if I watch The Great because it's about Catherine the Great and it stars L Fanning and it's like a comedy about like,

you know,

Catherine the Great in Russia.

And I actually watch a ton of episodes and I really didn't like it.

And that was surprising for me.

And I think other people would be surprised by that because you would think that that's a show that we like.

And I found it to be so goddamn annoying and stupid.

And like, now I do want to watch a show about Catherine the Great, just not that one.

Got it.

Best motion picture musical or comedy.

Serrano, Don't Look Up, Licorice Pizza, Tic Tick Boom, Westside Story.

Couldn't care less.

Haven't seen any of those yet, but you never know.

Don't Look Up is that new one.

It's like a satire.

It's on Netflix with like

everyone's in it.

Yeah.

Jonah Hill, Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio.

I will be watching that.

Tic Tick Boom, I heard was good.

Andrew Garfield, Netflix.

Yes.

And Westside Story, which we have a story about Westside Story, so we'll talk about it.

Okay, because I also want to talk about Westside Story.

Okay, we're going to, we actually will be talking about the NCL board of it all.

Like, we will be talking about it.

Okay.

Best actor in a TV series drama.

Brian Cox, Succession.

That's Logan.

Oh.

Lee Jung-jae, Squid Game.

Okay.

Billy Porter, Pose.

Okay.

Jeremy Strong, Succession.

That's Ken.

Kendall.

Omar Sai, Lupin.

I haven't heard of that show, but

great.

Yeah.

Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture.

Katriona Balf, Belfast.

Ariana DeBose, Westside Story.

Kirsten Dunce, The Power of the Dog.

Anu J.

Ellis, King Richard.

Ruth Nega, Passing.

Unfamiliar with all of those movies.

Yeah.

Best actress in a mini-series or television film.

Jessica Chastain, Scenes from a Marriage.

Cynthia.

Oh, I do want to see that.

It's out.

It's out, right?

Cynthia Rivo, Genius, Aretha.

Elizabeth Olson, WandaVision.

I always mean to watch WandaVision.

And then whenever I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel, it doesn't even cross my mind.

No, and like, we're just too late.

Yeah.

Margaret Qualey, Maid.

Kate Winslet, Mariby's Town.

Best actor in a mini-series or television film.

Paul Bettany, WandaVision.

Oscar Isaac, Scenes from a Marriage.

Michael Keaton, Dope Sick.

Ewan McGregor, Halston.

Tahar Rahim, the Serpent.

The only one I've seen is Halston, and I didn't think it was Golden Globe Award worthy.

Whatever that means.

Best

actor in a motion picture musical or comedy: Leonardo DiCaprio, Don't Look Up, Peter Dinklage, Serrano, Andrew Garfield, Tic Tick Boom, Cooper Hoffman, Licorice Pizza, Anthony Ramos, in the Heights.

So Ansel Elgore did not get nominated.

No, he did not.

Best.

I don't know if he deserves to haven't seen it.

I'm just remarking.

Best TV series drama.

Lupin, The Morning Show, Pose, Squid Game, Succession.

Did Rachel Zegler get lead actress in a comedy or musical?

Uh, nope.

Nope, she did not.

So, Rachel Zegler plays Marie.

Oh, yeah, she did.

She did?

They have it out of order, yes.

Oh, good for her.

So, she, if you guys don't know, she plays Rachel in the new Steven Spielberg West Side story, which is why I think there's all this kind of like hoopla for it, obviously, because it's Steven Spielberg, but also because she's like this unknown.

She went viral in this like gorgeous rendition of her singing Shallow by Lady Gaga, and literally she got the part from that.

This is like her first major role.

And I'm actually looking forward to seeing her in it.

Like, I'm going to watch it definitely at some point.

Yeah.

She's nominated in Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical, or Comedy, along with Marion Cotillard.

Cotillard, and who's in Annette?

Alana Haim, Licorice Pizza.

I'm assuming that's one of the Haim girls.

What's Licorice Pizza?

I'd never heard of it.

No, and why is a Haim sister in it?

It sounds delicious.

It sounds vile, actually.

Jennifer Lawrence, don't look up.

Emma Stone Cruella.

Well deserved.

Well deserved.

And then Rachel Zegler.

Oh, Rachel Zegler must be so excited.

Like, she literally was like, the video of her went viral.

She was in a high school auditorium.

She's like super young.

Yeah.

This must have just been like the most thrilling last year.

Yeah, very exciting.

Honestly, there are so many fucking categories.

I really can't continue to go through them.

Especially when we've seen like none of the films they're referring to.

Yeah, but I would say the biggest, most important category typically is best motion picture drama.

Those are like the ones you can expect to see at the Oscars.

And this is what we have.

Belfast, Belfast, Coda, Dune, King Richard, The Power of the Dog.

I heard Dune was literally one of the worst movies ever made.

Yeah, I didn't hear good things.

Zach watched it.

Like, I just haven't, like, I've been saving.

We have been saving all these, like,

critically acclaimed movies to watch while we're on vacation at the end of the month.

And so, I really can't offer very much insight because I will only have seen them come the new year.

I'll be full of insight.

But three of those I hadn't heard of.

Which Belfast, Coda, and The Power of the Dog.

Me neither.

So, I mean, that's, you know, enlightening.

Extremely enlightening.

Yeah.

Well, congratulations to all the nominees.

Good luck getting your award at a show.

Nobody's watching.

Yeah.

I wonder if they'll still do the red carpet and stuff.

Yeah, I'm sure we'll get pictures and all.

But not, like, live for me.

Probably not.

If it's like, if the show's not worthy of a broadcast.

But I really, I feel like this show might wind up being broadcasted on like.

GoldenGlobes.com.

It's Power Mount Plus.

No, they're, yeah.

First of all, there's literally no reason.

So let's say whatever, they lost their licensing deal with NBC, like it ran out.

Let's say that's the case.

There's literally endless possibilities.

Like a million streaming services would love the exclusive.

You could stream it for free on your website.

You could have a sponsor.

Like, what's going on with the Golden Globes?

Yeah, maybe they just haven't figured it out yet, but I think it will be available to stream somewhere.

You do?

I do.

Okay, we'll see.

Yeah.

Next up, a little more in movie news.

Westside story falls flat at the box office with a disappointing $10 million debut.

Ooh.

Yeah, they were expecting.

In the weekend.

In the weekend.

They were expecting like $100 million, and it came in at $10 million.

They spent $100 million on the movie, and audiences didn't open their wallets to see the infamous rivalry between the sharks and the jets play out on the big screen.

Westside Stories, Steven Spielberg's remake of the classic musical, fell flat in its box office debut, collecting a paltry $10.5 million from 2,820 theaters.

Despite its first-place finish, the film's inaugural ticket sales are cause for concern because Disney and 20th Century Studios spent $100 million to revive the Shakespearean love story for modern times and stand to lose millions unless Westside Story endures at the box office through the holidays and Oscar season.

Okay, but like are movie ticket figures back up post-COVID.

It's been up.

There have been some big movies that really

it's possible.

I think that people thought that this would be one of those movies because it's, you know, Steven Spielberg, it's a musical, it's the holidays.

Yeah.

And even though, you know, there's more weeks to be counted, this is a really sad debut.

It is, but I'm not surprised at all because I really did not feel like lots of promotion was put into

the, like, we, I know because I'm like such a

pop culture TikTok freak, but like the story of Rachel Zeggler like should have been hella public.

I just feel like it was like actually this the movie had a great story behind it about Rachel and I feel like there was like nothing really done with that.

People don't really, I think, know the whole Rachel Zegler story.

I think the promo was bad, and I think a lot of it had to do with Ansel Elgore.

Like, I think, I don't know whether this movie was filmed before he was accused of rape or they consciously cast him in it after he was accused, but they like refused to promote the fact that he was in it.

So, like, how can you promote a movie without the main character?

Yes.

Oh, wow.

I saw him, so I saw some commercials for him, and I thought that it did look really good.

I think that the they flashed his face, like, once.

Like, they're not proud of the fact that they cast him.

So, why did you?

I mean, what if it was already filmed?

Right, that's, but was it?

I don't know.

I don't think so.

I feel like we've been talking about this for so long, but also

trying to figure out when the Ansel Elgort stuff happened.

It was, I think it was like June 2020.

It was like a while ago.

Yeah, or July 2020.

Yeah, so I can imagine maybe people just didn't want to open up their pockets for Ansel Elgort.

You think?

I just think that

I actually don't know what to think, and I think that this is where Hollywood is too.

And also because like, yes, the story of Rachel Zegler is beautiful.

You know, Westside Story is a classic tale.

It's a holiday musical.

It's a big budget production.

But it's also Steven Spielberg.

And usually he puts asses in seats.

Right.

And so I think that's what people are really having a hard time wrapping their head around.

Do you think Steven Spielberg is like quaking this morning?

I don't think he is.

I think he already got paid.

Yeah, for sure.

No, actually,

you get a piece of...

Actually, most like big actors, and I don't know about directors, like you get a huge chunk of whatever the movie does.

The better the movie does, like, the better for you.

But, like, okay, so it's not doing well, like, big whoop.

Also, I'm sure that everyone there is just blaming COVID and not really looking inwards and saying, why aren't we reaching people?

Why don't people want to come see us?

Well, why?

I don't know.

I don't know either.

Well, that's a problem they have to figure out, not us.

Yeah, because even though, like, movies are down, there have been some good numbers recently, and things have been, you know, up.

And you would have thought that something like this would have brought people out.

Well, I just want to say, I definitely think it has something to do with the bizarre promotion of this film having to do with Ancel Elgord.

That's what I want to say.

Okay, that's like I don't remember seeing a big commercial.

I don't remember, like, if this, if this wasn't the case with Ansel Elgord, I feel like we've gotten like really, we would have gotten like really cute pictures of like maybe him and Rachel Zegler, and everyone's like, oh yeah, like, we got nothing, yeah,

yeah.

I only found out that Rachel Zegler was playing Maria like a week ago.

Yeah, but also, she, I mean, for people who aren't like well-versed in the, you know, TikTok viral videos, she's an unknown actress.

So the only name that they have to lead with is Anstein.

And they're not using it.

So it's just like Westside's Story with Steven Spielberg.

Yes.

It's like every part.

No, and you know what?

I want to say something hella, hella controversial.

Is Westside's story a story that needs to be retold many times and like in different iterations?

I can't lie.

I've seen it like once a million years ago.

I'm not entirely sure what it's even about.

I've never seen it, I don't think.

It's one of those movies that they always redo.

Yeah, but it reminds me of that, you know, Bring It On iteration, The Sharks vs.

The Jets.

100%.

And maybe this weekend, spending your time watching that.

Such a good movie.

If you want a modern retelling of West High Story in an impeccable way,

I would watch.

I think it's Bring It On All or Nothing.

Two.

No, no, two is Hayden Panettier and Solange Nolls.

No, no, no, that's not even two.

Two is

All or Nothing is Hayden Penetir.

Wait till it comes up.

Okay, and that's Bring It On Sharks first jets.

This is like four or five.

It's so twisted.

In it to win it.

Yes.

Yes.

You guys.

That's the one.

I have to say, I think the Hayden Panette or Solange Knowles one might be better than the original.

No, it's so fucking good.

There are so many good ones.

Bring it on again is number two.

And you've seen it, but it's not incredibly memorable.

I don't think I actually have seen it.

If I showed you, if I,

yeah, like it's about a sorority, and

I've never seen that.

No, you would, you have.

I know that you have because I've seen everything you've seen.

But I'm just telling you, I haven't seen it.

You fell asleep because, like, you saw it.

I'm telling you, no, that was a bad picture that I showed you.

I've never been in the presence of that film.

No, no, I know that you have.

Okay, what's the premise of the movie?

Like, they're in their college cheerleaders

competing for I'm telling you, I've never seen it.

Okay, fine.

Um, anyways, bringing on in it to win it, like Steel Vin Spielberg.

Maybe you should watch that.

Maybe you should revive that,

Steven.

Um, so yeah, I am surprised by this, but like, not really.

It's just been like a weird movie that seems like cursed.

Do you want to see it?

Like, when you saw the promos and stuff, were you like, ooh, I'm itching to see that?

Kind of.

Me to that song.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'd like to see it as well.

Yeah.

Hopefully I'll be streaming somewhere soon.

Yeah, it's on my side.

I feel like that's also like people just want to watch from home.

I know.

It's like, I do love going to the movies.

I can't remember the last time I've been.

Yeah.

It's one one of my favorite activities.

I never go.

Yeah.

Maybe it's because my particular movie theater is just like sad.

Like no one's there.

I'm like always the only one in the theater and it's like boring.

And like they don't even have a working soda machine.

They have a bottle of soda, which is just unacceptable.

I do prefer a bottle, so

it's just like low budget because like they haven't been open in six years.

So it's like it's there's tumbleweeds across the floor.

I'm like, what is going on?

Yeah.

Well, if any of you have watched it or saw it, let us know what you thought.

Yeah, and let us know why you think it didn't do well at the box office.

Yes.

But you know what is doing well at the box office?

My skin.

Our next story, some exciting legal news.

Kim Kardashian passes the baby bar exam.

She's one step closer to becoming an attorney.

This morning, Kim announced that she, OMF, GGGGG, I passed the baby bar exam.

Kim had previously failed the exam three times, but had COVID during one of those attempts.

And now she has passed and is on her way to becoming an attorney.

I'm so proud of her.

Honestly, and I hate to like even admit that, you know, I was a doubter,

non-believer,

but I was starting to think that it just wasn't going to happen.

I know, because I remember reading somewhere like some lie that said this particular route she's taking, you're only allowed to try to take the baby bar twice.

Like, if you don't pass it either time, like, you're out.

Well, that was clearly a lie.

That was clearly a lie.

So, she passed on the fourth time.

We love a queen who doesn't give up, who perseveres beyond challenges, which is like really so admirable.

But, you know what?

Like, and I think Kim probably feels this way too.

Like, she's been so public about this whole journey.

And, like, in order to get there, she has to pass this test.

And there was no way this bitch was not passing this test.

Like, the world was watching.

People made so much fun of Kim.

Like, oh, you can just buy your way into being a lawyer.

She took the harder route and she's doing it.

And I think she was not going to give up until she did it she was not gonna let like everyone who doubted her be right right but i think also ever since you know like the first time that she failed when we were all you know so excited and then the second time she did have covid i think you know these last two times like she's really been working in silence and she was like you know what i'll share good news when i have it but like and i think that's the best way to go about things because it puts even more pressure on an extremely pressure-filled situation you know what there's all these things happening with the kardashians that i'm like actually really looking forward to the hulu show but they had said they promised, I heard them say in an interview, like this time we're going to have much faster turnaround times.

So when there's something going on in the public eye, it's not going to be a year before we're able to address it.

But like, you know, shit has gone on in the last six months and like there's still no fucking show, but they're technically filming.

Yeah, I heard somewhere like Chloe say early 2022, we can expect.

Okay, so, but then we're going to be talking about like Kim and Pete, because I know they've been filming like the Kim's, the Pete stuff, and that's going to be like six months more.

Six months is, I mean, it's better than what it, what it's like.

If Love Island can do it, Hulu can do it.

Yeah.

I think they like having a little buffer.

Yeah.

Because it makes it less of a big deal.

Yeah.

And by then, we're also

kind of checked out and on to the next thing.

And it's like, oh, we cared so much about that.

Then it wasn't a big deal.

And like, we're over it.

Yeah.

So, anyways, I'm excited to watch this

journey for Kim.

I'm really happy and proud of her.

And like, that's really fucking hard.

So, role models.

Role model.

Role model.

And speaking of role models, our fifth and final story, Times 2021 person of the year

is

Dr.

Theodore Fichemin.

And to celebrate, we've prepared a song.

It's the final story.

Yes, it's Elon Musk, Musk, isn't it?

No, it's really Dr.

Theodore Frichemin.

Thanks to his major contributions to the medical field this year, Dr.

Theodore Frichemin has been named as Times 2021 Person of the Year.

We couldn't be prouder.

Everyone, he sleeps his way to the top.

And he's just an example.

To us all.

To us all.

But the runner-up was Elon Musk.

the world's richest person and Tesla CEO, has been chosen as Times 2021 Person of the Year runner-up.

The publication announced on Monday, December 13th.

So, this is a big deal,

Elon.

I mean, it is.

There are only like so many people in the running for like Times Person of the Year.

I would say he's probably like one of like 15 people, you know?

Because you think of like businessmen, politicians, activists, like there's not that many who are all the way up there.

So, Elon was definitely, if you had asked me, like, who would have, he was definitely in the circle of people, but I still am very shocked by this.

Yeah, I'm shocked that they're giving him like the credit that he's people hate him.

People do hate him, like, haters gonna hate Yeah, but I I mean he's my person of the year.

He's my person every year.

Can I tell you not to be mean?

Like I'm not loving the photo they chose I don't really feel like it does him justice

I think he's cuter than that.

I agree and it's like extremely serious and he's like kind of goofy.

No, and it has this like really unflattering spotlight on him that's like showing all his fine lines and wrinkles.

Like it's just rude.

Yeah, no, like he needs curology.

No, he needs curology and he just needs like airbrush like everyone else.

Like yeah.

What's with this really like the harsh.

It's harsh.

It's harsh.

Suddenly they're like aeropastel or like one of those brands like you know we don't airbrush Yeah, no, I agree.

It's definitely harsh, but I don't think Elon is cares.

I mean he's probably not even seen the picture.

He's you know, he sat down for an interview, which I'm excited to read.

And I think he's probably, you know, I don't think he gets

too in the weeds about stuff like this.

But I'm sure it's nice to be recognized, you know?

Yeah.

I mean, like, I know he's this.

for like this controversial figure because he's the richest man alive but when you really think about what he's contributed to society, especially through Tesla and then all the space stuff, it's very impressive.

Like you have to, you have to recognize that you do.

No, he's out here being a genius.

Go, Elon.

Go, Elon.

It's your birthday.

Go, Elon.

He's Albert Einstein of our generation.

And I would hope that Albert Einstein would be on the cover of time.

I completely agree.

That's how I feel about that.

I completely agree.

So, anyways, speaking of Teslas,

and this will be a nice pivot into our TV recap,

when Jenny.

I knew

Carlin.

When Carlin pulled, like, rolled out of the Tesla Lamborghini.

Like the jars open, I was just like, this is all my favorite thing.

No, I literally knew exactly what you were going to say.

Okay, but let's launch into the TV recap.

Ooh, breaking news, Miss India has won Miss Universe.

Oh, amazing.

Congratulations.

Okay.

Salt Lake City was like such a messy episode because these women just can't fucking stay on track for one goddamn thing.

Like suddenly we're all just so invested in Mary.

And okay, maybe that's a conversation worth having, but like, can we just hear from Jen first?

She just got out of jail.

Yeah, it was, I don't know if it was just because I'd spent the whole day watching Yellowstone and then it was just like such a stark difference.

It's possible.

But like it was just all over the place.

And I felt that way last week too, where it's like, I don't know where my loyalties lie.

Like so many people like half the time make sense, half the time make no sense.

And I just, there's no one that I can really

ride with.

And when it comes to I think the person I can ride with is Meredith.

Yes, but she's pretty disengaged from the situation.

But when it comes to the Jen situation, I'm feeling so conflicted about all of these like legal things airing out on reality television.

And I just want to talk about it because when, so I watched a little bit of Watch It On Slive, just until the first time

break, Jeff Lewis and Lisa.

And it's like, if this were your actual friend, so I guess if you're one of the women, but it's hard to tell like to what degree they're actually friends.

Friends or coworkers.

Right.

So that's weird.

But in general, like if this were your friend and they were going through something like this, like

what do you, what is the moral thing to do?

Is it to stand by them or is it to not?

I mean, because really you are innocent until proven guilty, but it's like, I'm not, I don't know, Jen, so it's, I, I'm not in that position, but as a viewer, it's like, I don't know what I expect these women to do.

And then Jeff Lewis was talking about how when Todd Christley was going through some legal dramas,

which I don't know what the drama was.

Okay, me neither.

But he said, oh, they had some tax stuff.

Okay.

So

he said when Todd Christley like was going through it, like Jeff reached out and Todd was like, you know what, you were actually one of two people who have reached out to me.

Like all of his celebrity friends turned his back on him.

And it turned out that Todd Christley was proven innocent, and like, that wasn't, you know, he made the right move in reaching out.

But, like,

what if he was guilty?

Did then should you have not reached out?

Like, you, how do you preempt these things?

I don't know why.

Can't you just really gauge it based on like how well you know the person?

Like, if this was my friend, let's say, like, one of someone I really had a friendship with, and they said, I didn't do this, like, I would, of course, believe them.

Yeah, I don't think Jen has given a single woman in this group the right, the

reason to believe her.

Yeah, she's been manipulative to them about like dumb shit before this.

She's been mean to them.

She's spread lies about them.

Like, so why would they have any cause to believe you now when the FBI is at your door?

Yeah.

I don't know.

I'm just like,

and I don't, like, it's just too much, too much for just casual Sunday night viewing on Bravo.

Yes, but you know what?

It really did make me think?

Like, I had a lot of problems with how Erica addressed everything, but she fucking addressed it.

Like, this delusional conversation she's having with Sharif, like, I didn't do it.

Like, what?

Like,

you have absolutely no idea in the entire world why a SWAT team showed up at your house.

Like, I just find that very hard to believe.

So, like, this la la land, like, oh, what?

I saw my business partner, Stuart, and they're pretending like she don't even know Stuart.

Right.

I'm like, this whole fairy tale, delusional story she's telling, it's actually making me extremely grateful for the directness we had from Erica, honestly.

Right.

And also, we know in present day that Stuart like has pled guilty and that he is like working giving them everything.

So there was nefarious business transactions going on obviously and she's literally just trying to dump this whole thing on stewart yeah well she's just trying to distance herself from him and it's like wait what we just watched you put a banana in his mouth yeah like so i'm just frustrated with that because

these like if the women in beverly hills didn't do it these women are certainly not going to be able to No, instead, they're focusing their efforts to Mary.

Like, because Jen has been proven to potentially allegedly be a fraud, let's look at Mary.

Yeah, and don't get me wrong.

I definitely think there's something worth like talking about like i could see mary's church being in a documentary on amazon in a few years like there's something there for sure yeah but can we just take things one step at a time there's no need to rush yeah i agree it's it's a lot and it's a lot to keep up with and and i feel like i can't get behind anyone you're right like with heather i'm like you're the biggest loser i've ever met in my life like oh jen is now being accused of heinous crimes so she'll she'll finally have time for you and like you're the first person to show up at her door like get a life like she's heather's just taking l after l this season i agree and then lisa like i really do want to get behind because i actually agree with her like she's the only one who's being honest like she's talking to her husband like what do i do my friend just got like how do i be a good friend while also being a good person she's having a normal reaction but this mary stuff like she's so fucking delusional like the what heather and whitney are saying she did she 100 did she brought camera around she dropped these crumbs she let other people pick it up and then she flipped on them Also, Whitney, like going and calling Cameron and thinking that she is like doing something.

Stealth of the century.

It's like you literally just fell even further than she could have ever dreamed you did exactly what lisa wanted you to do no no no but i don't think lisa ever dreamed that she would call cameron i mean that's a best case scenario take this all up as her own know the exact same amount of information as lisa and lisa doesn't have to like continue to put it out there like i know she thinks she was doing something but i think she was actually doing exactly what lisa could only have dreamed of no she thought she was like taking her power back and she was giving every ounce of it up like it was the worst call ever no i agree and now she's in the same position as lisa like and there's and she just keeps thinking she's, like, owned.

And like, and I do think, Lisa, like, there is a manipulative thing happening where she wants to talk about it.

She doesn't want to be the one to bring it up.

We see it all the fucking time, Shanna Medora.

And she's being called out on it.

But, like, Whitney is, like, thinks she's doing something and she's not.

And I'm having a really hard time, like.

Writing for Whitney in other aspects when what we saw last night.

Let's talk about Iris and Bo.

Let's talk about Iris and Bo, Wild Rose, a million dollar line of credit, $250,000 of their savings.

$20,000 for a party at your house with one photographer.

$20,000 for a photo shoot where there's no product and no updated branding.

And as Jenny said, you know, a white wall and white flowers.

It was making me very anxious.

Like, I think we should shut this whole operation down.

No, but it's like, it's too late.

And also, that is so much money to put into a business.

Like, I think at this point, I would say they've at least put in, say, half a million of their own dollars, like into Whitney's skincare.

Is that what it is?

It's a skincare line.

And that's just too much

money.

Start your own business, but like in this day and age with like Shopify and all these platforms, like you really don't need to spend more than like $30,000 to launch a skincare brand.

No, but like start small.

Like what did you spend all that money on?

I mean, now seeing that she does a $20,000 photo shoot.

Right.

You know, oh, she did 30 photo shoots.

She's being taken for a ride.

She should start small, make sure that there's proof of concept that people even want her new skincare.

Like you've been a housewife for one season.

Like it's, it's not a guarantee.

No, and like this is what Andy talked about in one of his books: like the curse of housewives is when you think that like your whole life is gonna change forever and like you have all this financial stability and you make such bad financial decisions, and it's even worse when your husband gets involved.

So, I really hope her husband just like keeps her on track because she admitted like she's not good with money.

And when literally someone asked how much it cost for her to put on that event at her house with a bunch of influencers who just wanted to be on TV, like they did not have to pay any of those models, her brand ambassadors.

She had some champagne, some fruit, and one woman with a camera.

How that's $20,000 is beyond me.

She could have done that party for $1,500.

Yeah, so I'm really concerned, and

it just doesn't have to be this way.

A million-dollar line of credit.

I'm not saying, like, she shouldn't start a business, but like you, you have to start smaller, you know?

No,

anyone should start a business that they want without ruining the financial standings of their families.

And without 100% of your savings, you know?

Yeah.

Sure, dip into savings.

That's what they're there for.

But not all of it.

There's no way that's very frustrating.

I'm really like, it was, it was upsetting.

Yeah, especially because I can't really imagine how you spend 500 grand on the launch of a skincare line that has no products.

No, but I'm assuming $500,000 for the products.

From the, from the beginning.

Oh, really?

Yeah, yeah, for like bottles and

loud.

How much are you fucking ordering?

In fact, no, but that's what I'm saying.

Like, she should have been ordering far less.

You know, Kylie started with 10,000 lip kits.

Right.

Which, like, for Kylie was a small amount.

Right.

But I, I imagine, like, to start a brand, like, you do need capital.

It's not like

a business with no overhead.

So I'm assuming she bought bottles, she did lab testing, she has products, she has employees, this and that.

Frightening.

But the photo shoot would say otherwise.

Right.

There are no products.

There's a rebrand photo shoot with the old branding.

Make it make sense.

No, it's literally, it's hurting me.

It was painful.

And like, I really appreciated Jenny for calling it out.

But you know what the thing is about Jenny?

She has some of the worst takes of all time, like as it pertains to the ladies' drama.

And like she does have a few things going for her, but she also has a lot working against her because everything that comes out of her mouth, I completely disagree with.

I completely agree with you.

She's just not cutting it.

No, she's like, she's, she does have this Vietnamese party next week that I think becomes the breeding ground for a lot of stuff.

And she seems like she starts yelling and like, she needs to step her pussy up.

And that's from

Sex and City.

She needs to step her pussy up

because it's really not cutting in.

She can only ride the coattails of Carlin for so long.

i need 10 minutes dedicated to carlyn at the end of this episode but um

i saw that she gets up and starts screaming but like i'm just praying for her that she's screaming in the right direction yeah she's always on the screen that like she's screaming about like you know someone doing something irrelevant to the situation next week's episode she's gonna bring up like what happened between her and mary at tubing a month ago like yeah no next week looks really chaotic and like not in a good way you know yeah because they're all at dinner and like i think the the blow up was about mary not even about jen

yeah and they're all like turning on each other, like Lisa and Meredith.

What they literally said is the opposite of what they were going to do.

When they got to Vale, they had this like big plan, and I was all on board, and nobody has followed the plan.

It's so crazy and chaotic, and we need to talk about Carlin because she saved the episode with her sophisticated taste buds.

This, I mean, all of Jenny's kids are so cute, but like Carlin is just everything of the sort.

Can I say, I don't really have like a personal connection to Carlin like you do, so I'll just let you take the floor.

But I was looking on Twitter, and like a lot of people feel this way about Carlin, that she is like the unsung hero of this season, which is she's just like so, she's so mature, which, you know, Jenny said she's a 45-year-old woman.

She is.

The sophisticated taste, but the thing is like hysterical.

No, and you know, you sent me a tweet that really summed it up perfectly.

Like, Carlin is exactly who Brooks Marks thought he was last season.

Thought he was going to be.

Yeah.

But no.

And

life had other plans.

Yeah, man, plans.

God laughs.

God laughs.

And it's just always a joy to see Jenny's wonderful children like.

I'm glad they're using her as the asset that she is.

No, like, and for that reason, I hope she stays on the show.

So Jenny might, might get a second season, and it's all because of Carlin.

No, but it's really just nice to see, like, well-behaved, respectful children on real house-wise, because typically, I would say 80% of the time, like, they really are, but maybe because they're also mostly like teenagers and they're just in this rebellious phase with

right, and it's just like it's hard to watch, but it's such a joy to watch like these kids who are so into science and food and just like living their best lives.

Yeah, I agree.

It's really just sweet.

Do you want a spin-off cruising with Carlin?

I would love a spin-off, like, where maybe like Carlin goes out.

She has like science experiments, like Bill Nye, like Carlin's a science guy.

Yeah, or like, I need to come up with a better, like, Carlin's corner, where, like, she teaches you something new every day.

Right, but also, she has this, like, sophisticated palette.

Like, maybe we get her on the road with Guy Fieri, divers, driving, and dives with Carlin.

That's not a bad idea.

Dynamic duo.

Free idea.

So cute.

So, all in all, it was like a chaotic episode, but it's good.

Like, things are moving, and it's better than, you know, some of the franchises we'd had recently where, like, nothing moved.

Agreed.

And then he watched.

I'm considering this is like the the biggest drama to hit housewives in a long time.

A lot of them, they're dropping the ball.

It's not giving me what I need it.

They are dropping the ball by like thinking they're doing something with Mary, but they're really just like letting Jen off the hook.

Yeah.

They've got to stop like for real.

Yeah.

I want to shake them and be like, wake up.

This is like an historic moment and you're fucking

dropped you're fucking it up.

Yeah.

And also I felt like even with in Beverly Hills even though they didn't like really hold Erica to account that much like they've talked a lot about the nature of the crimes whereas here questions.

Yeah, and like they had the LA Times article, and they were like, okay, we have the $20 million loan.

This is a Ponzi scheme.

What about the Byrne victims?

What about the, you know, Boeing crash victims?

And here it's like,

aside from that one conversation in the van, like,

talk more about what's

going on.

Yeah.

Because, like, for just like the lay people,

we don't know what's going on.

And we're just listening to Jen.

It's like she just got picked up out of nowhere.

Literally.

So that would be my notes.

You also watched Sex Lives of College Girls.

Tell me what you thought.

I did.

And I loved it so much.

Did you realize that that girl Kimberly is Tamita Chalamet's sister?

I had seen your story.

So I already knew that.

And that was already a fun fact.

It was like a life-changing fact for me.

Yeah, if I've discovered it after the show, I would have been life-changed.

But

I already knew it.

Who is your favorite character?

Honestly, I think it's Kimber.

She really, okay, so I hate and despise her in the beginning, but she really grew on me.

But someone who I think was like consistently funny and like the best the whole time was Bella.

Yeah, she just had like such a great attitude attitude, and you look and like she was always getting the girls up and at them.

And she's really the reason why they're going to become this like unstoppable force.

So I appreciated that about her because you always need like a friend like that in college.

And maybe it's because from the beginning, like you told me, Kimberly was like Dana, so I just had a soft spot in my heart for her.

Do you agree that she's Dana?

In many ways, she is, but in other ways, she isn't.

But, you know, no one's anyone to a T.

That's true.

And I just thought she was so, so funny.

And I really liked her character development.

Me too.

I have have recently like become obsessed with Renee

Layton.

You know she's from Mean Girls on Broadway.

I found that out last year.

Me too and I followed her on TikTok and she has the most incredible voice.

Like all she does is sing in her car, in her house.

She plays the piano.

She's like one of the most talented singers of all time.

I hope she does like a number next season or something.

Maybe like joins, you know, the talent show or something.

Yeah.

And she's a lesbian in real life.

So it's just like this great culmination of her in her character.

And like I really can't choose a favorite, honestly.

Yeah.

And I just, every time we spend more time on one person than another, like, I just, I really like all of the girls.

And I feel like so many of their personalities are very real to.

And also the way that they even like look.

I'm sure they're actually like a little bit older than college-age girls, but like the way that they dress, it's all very

college-y and real.

And like the parties and the and the themes, like it's, it's pretty on the nose.

And the social media stuff, I think they like nailed pretty nicely.

Yeah.

They did.

I thought it was such a good show.

I'm excited for season two.

I mean, I can't.

I know.

Don't you wish you had like a bank of seasons like you could just watch?

Of course, because it was just like snackable episodes.

And it was a great, it was just a great show.

And you know what that is?

It's the Mindy Kaling effect.

Like, she just makes good shit, like, period.

Yeah.

Like, she gets the current, like, she gets the culture.

Yeah.

She's almost like a, like, a night, like a 12-year-old stuck in the body of, like, a mature woman.

Cause she, like, gets it.

Yeah.

I feel that way with that other show she does, um, Never Have I Ever, which I don't think you would like.

No, I didn't watch it.

They're like in high school.

They're like really young.

Got it.

No, it just, like, it was great.

It was great fun watching it, honestly.

I would recommend it to all the toasters.

I think you guys would like it.

Me too.

I would recommend it to everyone.

Yeah.

And then Yellowstone New Season.

It's just giving me everything and more.

Plus, they've been pushing hard the prequel in the commercial.

Like every commercial,

they're showing us 1883 previews with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Sam Elliott.

And that also looks really good.

It actually premieres next week.

And I'm excited.

I'm excited to watch that too.

It looks like a lot.

And it's also like 1883.

So, you know, it's a lot.

It better be good.

Yeah.

You know?

Okay.

Well, I watch Succession, but I'm forbidden from speaking about it.

So that's our show.

That's our show.

Plus, like, to spoil it, like, I'm not the only one who didn't watch last night.

Are you going to watch it tonight?

Yeah.

Okay.
