S4 Ep202: Crypto.com Stadium: Wednesday, November 17th, 2021

Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the Morning Toast.

Happy Hump Day!

Hope everyone's having an amazing day humping someone they love.

That you truly, truly love.

That you love and trust and believe.

I guess you could hump someone without those things.

But it wouldn't be the same.

But it hits different when you love, trust, and believe.

How do I merge that?

How do I burn that?

How are you doing today, Miss Clardia?

Let me.

I'm doing great.

Jack and I are both wearing probably what will be the best-selling item from our new merch drop.

We didn't even plan to twin.

We each like were just going to wear merch today because the holiday merch drops tomorrow.

And we are twinning.

It's the Toasty Lights sweatshirt.

Every year, we renew it, upgrade it.

This has to be my favorite.

I don't know if you guys can see on YouTube, but the T and the O have like sparkles in them and you can like feel the sparkles.

Yeah.

So it's a really special sweatshirt.

It comes in pink.

It comes in white.

I'm wearing XL.

What are you wearing?

This is an XL as well, and it's really comfortable.

So shopmorningchoast.com tomorrow, 10 a.m.

Eastern Time.

Usually I wear a medium.

These crew necks are like the same as we usually do.

I do wear a medium in them.

I just was wearing yours because, you know, I got a lot going on under here these days.

You have nothing to explain.

But they are very true to size.

You don't like, I'm not typically an XL.

Yeah.

So Clerdia is doing well.

I like passed.

out at 1030 and I accidentally slept through my alarm by 40 minutes.

I got 11 hours of sleep like so unintentionally.

How nice for you.

My brain was really, like, I have been reciting my show back and forth in my bedroom for four days straight.

And it is exhausting.

Like, and I'm doing it at full energy.

Like, I'm even doing it from the beginning.

Hello.

You're not giving 5%.

No, no, I'm giving 100%.

100%.

Yeah.

So it's mentally exhausting to be like talking so much.

And I'm just really trying to memorize it, like, down pat.

Yeah.

And my first kind of dress rehearsal show is tomorrow, City Winery.

I'm so excited to see everyone.

And like, I

haven't been this nervous like in years, like, for real.

It's exciting.

Yes.

I go through stages.

Like, right before I got in the shower, before like finishing my final rehearsal last night, I was like just feeling defeated.

I was like, I don't know how I'm going to memorize this.

And then I played Taylor's version and I got in the shower.

And by the time I got out, I was like, I'm going back on tour.

Like, I was invigorated with this zest for life.

It's going to be so fantastic.

Obviously, you're having pre-show jitters.

That is so so natural but I'm just so excited for everyone for tomorrow night because you're gonna you're such a star and the world has been you know starved

of your talent on the road for the last two years and now they will feast.

And I'm just telling you like after I do I feel like for me, there's when you launch a tour, I mean I've only done it twice, but there's two enormous hurdles.

Okay.

The first is selling tickets.

Like especially after COVID, you never know like

am I still able to sell tickets?

Like are people going to come?

Do people even still like me when you're on the internet?

Like, you really never know.

You really never know, though we do get a good gauge, like, yeah, from this podcast.

So, but sure, but sure.

The first hurdle, we'll go along with your delusion.

No, even, even if, like, things are going great, like, you never just assume you're gonna sell out.

Like, that's just a terrible hurdle.

And the nature of live events has changed.

It's, it's a different ballgame.

It's a different ballgame.

So, for me, my biggest hurdle always was, like, I don't think I'm gonna be able to sell tickets.

Like, the first time I did it, it was like a

fluke.

Like, so then the ticket sales went great, and I was like incredibly incredibly relieved.

And then the second big hurdle is just the first show.

Like, every show after that gets easier and better and stronger and tighter.

But the first show, I'm so nervous.

I'm telling you, like, this weekend, I'm going to rage my face off.

Like, I will be celebrating the fact that I just did one show because the first is just the hardest.

Yeah.

But I'm excited.

No, it's really going to be great.

I'm excited for you.

And tomorrow is an even more exciting day because our holiday merch collection drops at 10 a.m.

Eastern Time at shopmorning toast.com.

We posted our sickening photo shoot at the sickening plaza.

Who am I?

You're the plaza, you're the warehouse, and our Instagram feed.

You're the Instagram feed and your soon-to-be people's mailboxes.

Literally.

Because when you guys get these sickening merch items, it's just going to really, you know, start the holiday season on such a positive note.

So if you want to know what we're selling, head over to the Morning Toast Instagram account.

We have a nine-minute grid.

Yes, we fucked up the flow.

And I wouldn't even call it like the flow's never been worth it.

The flow's never been so

sickening.

So you can see all of the products that we're selling.

And also in our Instagram story, it's broken out piece by piece.

So you can see what is available.

We have ornaments sold in a set of three.

We have beanies.

We have a Sherpa set.

We have robes.

Blankets.

We've never done a blanket before.

Blanket.

I actually was thinking

today might be a blanket day for me.

There's an extra one right there.

I might just go snug.

I love it.

Yeah.

It's really, really comfortable.

The robe is so sickening.

And I just can't believe the holidays are back.

Like we're now, what is this?

Like our third holiday launch?

Yeah, it's so exciting.

You know how much we love the holidays over here at the Morning Toast.

And this collection is

more wintery.

Than holiday.

Cause it ain't right to, we're non-denominational here at the Morning Toast.

Yeah, no, and we've done, you know, this is the TMT blanket, which is so comfortable.

It's heavy.

Like, first of all, it's a delicious blanket to snuggle up with.

Brew loves his, but it's also, like, so pretty and pleny that if you just want to like drape it over your couch, it really adds a nice pop of plen to the room.

Yeah, so it's if you look on the inside, obviously the outside says TMT, but the inside is like a Sherpa, warm cuddle hug from your grandmother.

Yeah, no, it really, the inspo for the inside was brew.

Yeah.

And do.

And do was the inspo for the outside.

He designed this blanket.

He said, mom, we need this in the house.

Mom, let's do a capsule collection.

Mom, let's do a capsule collection.

We have such a great show for you guys today.

The Fast Vibe, Pump Rules, was on last night.

And I watched Real House Eyes Ultimate Girls trip.

I watched the first three episodes that dropped.

Okay, I'm like so behind on TV.

I know, and you know what?

Here's the thing.

I know you're not going to watch anytime soon because you have a lot on your plate right now.

So I will give you guys the high-level recap.

No spoilers or anything.

Just my initial thoughts on the concept, on the group, what's happening, etc.

So that will be in the TV recap.

Sound good?

Yeah, I'm just like feeling really overwhelmed.

Like because of LA, I was behind on shows and I haven't even turned on my TV this week.

Like I'm just so focused on my craft that I'm starting to feel like overwhelmed.

Yeah, I know that you are dying to watch Ultimate Girls Trip because it's just like a cultural moment, though I do think my ultimate conclusion is that you don't have to.

Really?

Yeah.

I don't know if that's a hot take.

It is.

People are loving it.

It's good.

We'll talk about it.

I'll share all of my thoughts and we will discuss.

Okay.

And other than that, I started a new book last night.

I'm, you know, floundering for book recommendations.

Are you?

Yeah, I just.

What about Goodreads?

I went to all of the descriptions of all of the books that were nominated for Fiction Book of the Year, and nothing really pulled me in.

And some of them were just, like, too

wild in.

Well, are you looking?

Well, what are you looking for?

Just like a great.

I'll do any genre, really.

You know, I love.

What about like another Tessa Bailey?

Like, because I read another one that was so good.

By Tessa Bailey?

Yeah.

Which one?

I don't know.

Their names are so obscure.

Yeah, and they never fit the book.

No, I think it's

the one about the TV, the fixer-upper.

No, the one about the baseball player.

Oh, I haven't even heard of it.

But I actually, Tessa Bailey has a new like romance book that's Christmassy.

She does?

Yes, and it's on my Want to Read.

It's called

It is called Window Shopping.

Oh, wait, let me write that down.

Mm-hmm.

And it just came out October 19th, but I'm not in the Christmas spirit yet, so I'm not ready to read it.

That was my want to read.

Marked it.

The Tessa Bailey one I was talking about was not, was it Fix Her Up?

Yeah.

Did you read Fix Her Up?

No.

It was really cute.

Yeah, he's like a baseball player, and she's like a nerd.

It's really cute.

Okay, fine.

Anyway, so I started Rock, Paper, Scissors by Alice Feeney.

And so far, I'm in it.

I'm good.

You know.

But it's just, I don't know why I'm like struggling so to find book recommendations.

It's going to be okay.

I like how you won't touch my hands.

I know.

I literally watched them when I came in from the outside today.

Oh, did you?

Yeah, but does that make a difference?

I noticed that.

Does that make a difference?

It does make a difference.

Okay, like when you're being sweet with Zach, like will you ever like hold his hand and kiss it?

Like, you know how people do that?

I will, yeah, I will hold his hand, but never thought.

No, you don't kiss it, right?

No, I never thought of it.

That's like a thing people do.

Like, that's so sweet.

Yeah, you don't do it.

No, but he does that to me.

But of course.

Like, you kiss the hand of a lady.

You know why sometimes?

I kiss Ben's hand.

And then I think about it, like, maybe I should stop.

He's absolutely disgusting.

That's so funny.

But you know what?

Love is immune.

Love is immune.

To nerve drugs, like feces and germs, bacteria.

Yeah, all the above.

That is so beautiful.

Anyway, I feel like let's dive in.

Yeah, let's dive in.

Our first story, some exciting news.

Kanye West and Drake bury their beef at Dave Chappelle show.

Kanye and Drake appeared to end their long simmering beef on Tuesday night when they showed up for laughs at a Dave Chappelle comedy show in Toronto.

I forgot the day.

Yeah, yeah.

They have major beef.

Kiki.

Do you love me?

The two artists who have thrown lyrical shots at each other in the past could be seen mugging for the camera together on Drake's Instagram account.

And then Kanye also posted a photo of himself, Drake, and music promoter Jay Prince on Instagram with a dove emoji to emphasize the peace made between them.

Kanye's on this like peacemaking journey.

He also made peace with Soldier Boy.

That's so beautiful.

You love to see people bury the hatchet.

No, like,

that just reminds me, like, you've ever been in a place where, like, you have, like, so many people to apologize to, like, you just make the rounds?

Yeah.

That's what Connie's doing right now.

It's giving like Ramona apology tour.

I was just about to say that, and the apology tour continues, and she takes her talents to Turks and Caicos.

Oh, and she apologizes to people?

She's such a big apologizer.

It's crazy.

But you know what?

It's better than her being, like, you know, the person that she is and not apologizing for it.

Like, at least, like, she has.

apologized.

Yeah.

You know?

Yeah.

So everyone's like, they're like the apologies, but it's like, doesn't everyone always want an apology?

But now it's too much.

No, totally.

Is there so much of a, too much of a good thing?

Yeah, there is.

But I think this is so exciting.

You know,

the world, nature is healing.

Yeah, for sure.

I mean, it definitely has crossed my mind that like Kim's single state, like maybe she would date Drake.

I don't think so.

I don't know.

Like, he's a powerful man.

She's a powerful woman.

They could be a powerful couple.

I think that that would be just too close to home.

Yes.

And I think it would really hurt.

It would hurt her relationship with Kanye.

You You know, she can, Pete Davidson poses, like, they don't run in the same circles or anything.

So,

yeah.

And also, like, Drake, Drake is just, like, a funny one when it comes to relationships.

Like, nobody wants to date him.

Like, everybody loves him.

Every girl, like, would love to, but nobody, when it comes down to it, like, nobody wants to date him.

No, I don't think that's it.

I think, like, everyone wants to date him, and he's just been, like, scarred, humiliated.

I mean, I would be too if I acted the way that he did publicly with Rihanna and then Rihanna like ghosted him and was never to be heard from again.

I think that definitely scarred him from like really public relationships.

I mean it was mortifying.

I don't know.

I just feel like the women he wants to date don't want to date.

Like who?

Just like me like celebrities.

Like who?

Rihanna.

Kim.

Kim besides Rihanna.

Do you think he wants to date Kim?

Who wouldn't?

I mean that's so true.

Who wouldn't?

No, I feel like he does just fine, you know?

No, I'm sure he does like fine, like, but you're right, he doesn't really date celebrities.

I mean, was he dating Serena Williams for like 45 seconds?

You remember that?

But then like it just turned out they had like the same manager and were friends, and they went to like a tennis match together.

Was it a business?

Yeah, that was like a rumor, but I don't think it was ever truly confirmed.

You're right.

He doesn't really date a lot of celebrities.

Yeah.

Like, he has a child.

I feel like he like dates his fans.

That's kind of toxic.

I'm not going to lie.

No, yeah.

That's actually really toxic.

That's what I'm saying.

Well, wishing him the best.

And I heard there was a big party at his house.

And by heard, I mean I saw on Instagram.

And, you know, his house in Toronto is like the sickest thing on the planet.

Oh, yes.

Toronto.

So

I'm not sure, but it sounds like the Dave Chappelle show made it somewhere to Toronto.

Yes.

And they had an after-party.

Yes.

Because I follow Jeff Ross on Instagram and Jeff Ross is on tour.

This was in Toronto.

It was.

Where Kanye and

he had reprochmois.

Yeah.

And you love to see it.

You do.

You really do.

Nature is healing.

Nature is healing.

Are you ready for our next story?

Which is kind of crazy.

I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Page six is reporting that W Magazine is trying to pull the Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner cover after Astro World.

W Magazine is desperately trying to pull its upcoming edition after putting Travis Scott and Kylie on the cover, page six has learned.

Editors are in a tizzy over the issue following the Astrow World Festival tragedy in which 10 people died and more than 300 were injured.

The Scott Jenner cover, which also featured a big interview in the issue, was shot and printed before the November 5th concert, but had not yet been shipped, prompting the scramble to recall the magazine before it hit store shelves.

Is it too late?

W Editors have cleared any planned coverage of Travis and Kylie Kylie from their website, but the magazine was already printed and now they are trying to stop the delivery.

On the trucks?

Oh my gosh.

They're way too late.

I think so too.

They said in light of what happened at Astrow World, the interview and cover lines seem inappropriate to say the least.

100%.

I mean, yeah, I wonder what's on the cover.

No, it's so wrong.

It's so wrong, but like, obviously, this is just...

terrible timing for the magazine.

I mean, we've known about

this Astrow World thing for like almost a week, over a week now.

Like, Yeah.

Have they been working on it this entire time?

Perhaps.

Maybe this is just making it to this is what they've been doing since then.

That's crazy.

I mean, I have to imagine it's going to hit the stands.

I know.

Otherwise, they just wouldn't have an issue for next month.

Right.

And the thing is, is like, I definitely think if they're able to, they should pull the cover.

But I won't hold W Magazine like, you know, responsible.

Like, there was no way they could have known.

Obviously, the timing is just horrible.

And

it honestly looks bad for Kylie and Travis.

I don't think it looks bad for W Magazine.

And maybe they planted this story being like, oh, now it's over.

We, there's nothing we can do, but we want to let you know we tried.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, it's just unfortunate.

I don't think it's going to be like.

It's unfortunate.

The only way they could pull the cover would

not have

a magazine that month.

How much money is lost there?

And do you just

let it rip?

No, I don't think companies like that can do that.

That what?

Not have a magazine.

No, no, no.

Right.

So do you just let the cover play out and just deal with the awkwardness?

I think after you've tried tried to do every single thing, yeah, there's like nothing you can do.

Yeah.

But even if they do stop the trucks, like they need another magazine.

Yeah.

They can't just not have an issue.

Yeah, this sounds like

a double bull type.

Yes.

Oh my God.

Yes.

Yeah.

Okay, well, I do think we'll probably end up seeing the cover, and it's really unfortunate.

Not that I like want people to be canceled.

I just think it's like hella inappropriate.

It's really bad timing.

And

now I shudder to think like what the cover, you know,

what's on the cover, like

very outrageous.

Yeah.

America's hottest couple.

Like, yeah.

Hopefully they chose their words wisely and it wasn't like, you know, it's a killer couple, you know?

That's what I was thinking.

Yeah.

Oh my God.

That would be really bad.

I mean,

you know,

they've been like silent.

Yeah.

I think they'll be silent.

For a while.

That's crazy and like kind of disappointing.

Like

well aside from like doing what they can to help, I don't think they're going to be going back to posting like the cars and the.

No, no, that's not what I mean when I mean silent.

I mean like vocal about the situation.

Yeah.

Well now it's a legal issue and there's

there's not much that they I don't know what they can do or say other than lay low and try and help the families and victims as much as possible.

I hope that they are.

Yeah, me as well.

Well, that's a crazy story.

We'll see.

When is Debbie Magazine hit the sands?

I've never in my life purchased one.

I have no idea.

Magazine timing month, like, so next week the january issue drops yeah no it's so stupid it makes no sense like i really spring summer it's really confusing spring summer so i don't know when i don't know where but if you see it just know i guess they tried to stop it okay well the intention was i mean the the the idea that they're trying to stop the trucks in transit like is a little dramatic

it's an episode of the bull type like you couldn't have said it perfectly right but um

It's, that's really unfortunate.

Yeah.

Are we ready for our next story?

Sure.

Bradley Cooper is finally addressing his past romance rumors with co-star Lady Gaga from A Star is Born.

Oh.

Remember when Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper had us wondering every day if they were in a relationship?

Yeah.

It was really just...

And also the timing was just really bad because like Bradley and Irina Shake like couldn't fucking stand each other.

Yeah, it was just a really weird time and like we all kind of believed that they were in love.

But then nothing ever came to it.

And they weren't in love.

And now Bradley is confirming that.

Lady Gaga has already said this.

But now in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, he's addressing the rumors himself.

When discussing the Oscar performance of Shallow, Bradley confirmed that they were definitely acting.

So that was really the performance.

Like, it looked like they were falling in love on stage, right?

Yeah.

He said there's a simple reason why it looks so steamy.

He said, quote, he had conceived the performance to unfold like a scene from the movie in part to help manage his own fears about singing live.

He shared, just from a personal standpoint, it reduces the anxiety level.

He noted they kind of fall in love in that scene in the film.

It's that explosive moment that happens to them on a stage in front of thousands of people.

It would have been so weird if we were both on stools facing the audience, especially since he's not a singer.

Not a singer.

If you tell him, get up on the stage and act,

that he can do.

What interview is this?

Is he who is he talking to?

A Hollywood reporter.

Got it.

And then also, Lady Gaga has doubled down on her denial.

I like how when Lady Gaga said it, like nobody believed it.

And then Brother Cooper said it, and we're like, oh, okay.

You know, because it did feel like.

She was being coy.

She was, or yeah, but it's also like he was the one in a relationship.

Yeah.

So she was broken up with with her fiancé.

She needed him to buy into it in order for it to work.

Yeah, that's like a crazy time.

You're right.

I totally forgot that that even happened.

Yeah.

Lady Gaga had said, quite frankly, I think the press is very silly.

I mean, we made a love story.

For me as a performer and as an actress, of course, we wanted people to believe that we were in love.

Well, they did a very good job.

They did.

You know, you could chalk it up to her acting skills.

And the...

press around the movie like really

was

great marketing and had everyone wondering if they were in love.

Well, I just saw an interview Lady Gaga's done recently for House of Gucci and with Michael Strahan and he was like, well, what's the best thing that's happened to you this year?

She's like, I found love.

So she might be in a relationship as well.

Yeah, isn't she?

She's with that Normie.

Who?

The guy.

She's dating someone.

I thought maybe they were late.

She has a boyfriend who's just like a literal businessman Bo.

What?

Yes.

Unless they broke up and she's with someone else.

But she is dating.

I remember she was like spotted and dating like the sound engineer.

No, she's like dating this guy.

What's his name?

Michael?

Michael Polanski.

Yeah, he's like a sound engineer.

He like he does like audio, something.

He does audio.

He works in like a recording studio.

I think that's a good idea.

He's an entrepreneur.

You remember this picture?

This will take you back.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, so they're still together?

I'm assuming.

I never heard anything to the contrary.

Oh, I mean, I just.

Okay, that's great.

Yeah, in August 2021, Lady Gaga and Michael Polanski are in love.

Okay, I think they're still together.

I feel like this could be it.

You ever like find something out like that everyone knows that like blows your mind?

That literally happened to me yesterday.

Like I never even thought about it, like who Beanie Feldstein was like dating.

But I don't know what occurred to me to like Google it.

And she's dating a woman named Bonnie.

Beanie and Bonnie.

Oh, that's so cute.

Beanie and Bonnie.

They should.

I don't think everyone knew that.

No, sorry, I didn't know she was a lesbian.

Okay.

So I was talking about it with someone, and I'm like, who did she date?

And they were like, she meant this product, whatever.

Like, it was like, they're like, you didn't know, like, because I'm supposed to know everything.

So when I don't know anything, something about pop culture, people feel like they've like turned one out on me.

And I'm like, fuck off.

I can only retain so much information.

Yeah.

So then I'm like, oh, let me Google this to see if it's true.

And then I found out her girlfriend's name is Bonnie.

And I was like, cracking up me and Bonnie.

That's so cute.

How long have they been together?

A while.

Do you think it's the real deal?

Yeah, she's Bonnie is a producer and they fell in love on set.

So like, you know, that'll do it.

That'll do it.

Because it's almost like she found like a businesswoman.

No, it's, it's this, obviously, the businessman or the businesswoman is ideal because a business savvy is something, you know, most people, money can't buy sometimes.

No, that acumen.

That acumen.

And when you're a star and you're successful, you know, you want love and you also want acumen.

Yeah.

But in general, the formula still works when it's one person who's a star in front of the camera.

And then the other person just has to be like a behind, happy to be behind the camera person.

And when it's a producer, it's like they chose to go into the industry and not be a star that's beanie and bonnie that works too i agree that's actually let's keep our eyes on them because that could be the potential blueprint for a like a next great the next great chip no well yes but also like the next great like archetype for a relationship like i don't know i wouldn't call it a businessman but like i would call it like a behind the scenes front scenes like we have to come up with a good word for it yeah but but I can think of that's like Reese Witherspoon.

Okay, I was just about to say, I can think of instances where it's successful and I can think of instances where it's not.

That's like Reese Witherspoon, yes.

Right.

Her husband is like a talent agent yeah he's in the industry behind the scenes yeah but lady gaga christian carino okay i just want to say like christian carino was giving major thirst monster vibes like he was dying to get out from behind the camera you know what i mean

but how can that's why it's the i don't know the perfect formula is someone who's very comfortable being behind the camera know these people well enough to say i don't know i think jim witherspoon has proof but that's just because he's the proof in the pudding like when at the outset i wouldn't know whether or not well you could say the the same thing about a businessman.

Like, he that he was dating a celebrity because he wants to be.

Like, we have to.

But if he was so thirsty, he wouldn't have gone into business.

Why?

There are plenty of businessmen.

There's a handful.

But that's not the fast track to fame.

No, but I think that we can give people the benefit of the doubt.

Like, people who work as like producers, directors.

Like, the thing is, I love giving people the benefit of the doubt.

Do you?

Always.

Okay.

I feel like I'm always giving people the benefit of the doubt.

Okay.

Like, truly.

Okay.

But there's something about when people get a taste of fame that they just fucking lose their minds.

Yes, you can't get any doubts.

Nobody fits.

Everybody fails to like does not rise to the challenge every single time.

I agree with you that it really does change people.

You know?

Yeah.

So that's where it gets dicey.

If I may just interrupt you briefly to let everyone know that today's episode is brought to you by Pure Bach.

Don't you love the dewy look of your skin after a facial or that glow after wearing a good face mask?

Wouldn't you love to have that look all day?

Yeah.

Well, enter Purebach, a revolutionary hybrid of skincare and makeup that creates a natural dewy look to your skin and helps blur imperfections.

That's why they named it Cover Up spelled backwards because Purebach is literally the reverse of covering up.

So it's the next hot beauty trend.

They're one of the hottest beauty launches of 2021.

It's already been covered by a ton of magazines.

And what their products include are an all-day glow multi-corrective serum, a face cream, and an eye cream for a total skin transformation.

I got the products, and I have to say, it's one of the best ideas on the planet because like when your skin is in a bad spot, but like you have to go to work or you have to go on a date and like you make your skin worse by like clogging your pores.

The fact that Purebach is literal skincare, but that also lessens the look of redness.

Like it really, really helps.

It's just a genius idea and I can't believe somebody hasn't thought of it sooner.

They also really have long-term results because you won't just get immediate results.

It's real skincare packed with over 11 active ingredients that will deliver long-term results like radiance, even skin tone, and hydration.

It's different than any other skincare product, honestly, I've ever used, and I've used a lot.

I noticed a real difference after the first application, and it lasted all day.

You're able to leave your house without it without makeup, but also like with makeup, and still feel confident in the look of your skin.

So, now if you want to reverse the cover-up to with PureVach, you can go to wonderskin.com.

Next story.

iHeartRadio pledges to only play Taylor Swift's re-records on its stations.

Wow.

On Tuesday, iHeartRadio, the largest radio station owner in the country, announced that it will only play Taylor's Taylor version recordings on its stations.

Whenever Taylor re-records a new track, we immediately replace the old versions.

Our stations will always deliver songs that artists are eager to share and fans want to hear, said the chief programming officer for iHeartMedia.

Listeners have made it known that they cannot wait to hear Taylor's version of each track.

Wait, that's like so crazy because I feel like radio is like very much a part of like the music industry, like not like ever really like advocating on behalf of artists.

So this is very cool.

I mean, I hear radio owns like most of the radio stations in the country.

That's a really big deal.

They're the biggest owner.

So that's pretty cool.

I mean, I wonder what that actually means for, other than like, you know, the respect and the kindness.

What does it mean for like the masters?

And what does it mean for dollars and cents, you know?

Yeah, a radio, I don't think, means anything, but it's just a step in the right direction.

Yeah, and then I guess like when it is playing on the radio and it comes up on your gallery.

It'll say Taylor's version.

It'll say Taylor's version.

And if you Shazam it, it'll say Taylor's version.

And you'll go to Spotify.

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, this whole thing has got me really, really wondering about what the value of her old masters is.

I feel like with every album she releases, the value of her old masters goes down.

And with things like this, like it really brings it down.

And I'm curious what her goal is.

Like, is her goal to make it so that like scooter's making no money or that scooter wants to dump them for like a small price?

And like, she picks it up.

Like, what's the goal with the old ones?

Or do you think she's just completely moved past them, like, forgotten about them?

I think the goal, well, the ultimate, the first and foremost goal was like for her to have ownership over her own music.

And now she owns Fearless and she owns Red, and she can feel good about like...

having those songs out there.

I don't know, but now it's just like the way that Scooter can make money on her old stuff is like put it in commercials, put it in movies, but I don't feel, you know, put it on Peloton, but I don't feel like they're doing anything with them.

I know.

Do you think that in order for, let's say he wanted to put it in a movie, does Taylor have to approve that?

Like, it is still technically like she's

published.

She's a part of the ownership.

Right.

I don't know.

And I feel like they can't like sell her catalog.

But no, but if she had to approve what they did with it, she could have just never approved anything and they wouldn't make money on it.

Right.

So no, maybe she doesn't have any say.

Yeah, that'd be crazy.

Like,

I wonder what, I mean, he's been so quiet because he's like going through a divorce, but

I forgot about that.

Is that for real?

Yeah, like, what is his plan now, like, with these masters?

I don't know.

And what are they worth?

They were worth 300 million.

I have to imagine they go down quite a bunch with every album she releases.

Yeah, but there's still, she has like, how many more that she needs to do?

Like, three?

Yeah.

Debut, Speak Now, 1989.

And I I don't think she can re-record reputation for a while.

Got it.

But she owns Lover, Evermore, Folklore, Fearless, and Red Now.

She owns five out of nine.

Pretty good.

Pretty good.

Pretty good.

Pretty good.

Fifth and final story.

Speaking of ownership.

Wait, sorry, what?

I feel like let's do like a strip down.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

It's the final story.

Thank you, iHeartRadio, for doing what's right.

I think the listeners will like that.

Me too.

Fifth and final story: speaking of ownership, Los Angeles's staples center will now be called Crypto.com Arena.

You're lying.

As part of a $700 million naming rights deal.

Jackie, I swear to God, I felt like for a second I was being pranked.

Like, this is literally an SNL sketch.

Yep, as part of a 20-year naming rights deal, the iconic downtown LA Arena.

known as the Staple Center is being rebranded.

Beginning Christmas Day, its name will be changed to Crypto.com Arena, according to a press release.

I can't think of a worse name.

During the arena's Christmas Day game, the new logo and indoor signage will be revealed.

All external venue signage will be replaced by June 2022.

The cryptocurrency exchange headquartered in Singapore reportedly paid $700 million for the name change.

Just to give you guys some context, 20 years ago when Staples bought it, they bought it for $100 million

for 20 years.

I don't know.

It's so iconic.

It's so iconic.

I mean, this happens all the time with stadiums.

And Staples is like such an old school brand.

They don't have that kind of money anymore.

Sometimes I hear the name of a stadium.

I'm like, Smoothie King Arena?

In Vegas.

That's so crazy.

I think people will just call this crypto arena, and I think that will stick.

I mean, this is the fact that they had to say crypto.com, like, it's so

cracky.

But it's like, good, if it was called crypto arena, I'd be like, who paid for this?

What are we promoting?

But now I know crypto.com.

And you know what?

If I'm ever getting into crypto, like, I'm going to head to crypto.com.

Yeah.

$700 million well spent.

No, there is, there are like so many weird stadium names.

I know.

I want to.

I want to find a list.

To me, like the good ones are like American Airlines Arena, MetLife Stadium sounds good to me.

Um, I don't know that many.

Um, oh, oh, oh, oh, Gillette Stadium is a great name.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I know it ain't, I know it ain't

good.

The first time I heard Gillette Stadium, I thought that was kind of funny because it's like such a consumer brand, but it really works.

Gillette is like a cool, like, Gillette, yeah.

Also, Barclays is a great name, yeah, because it's the name of a bank, right?

Yeah, okay, there are some real-the 10 weirdest stadium names in football:

Dick Sporting Goods Park,

where is is that?

In Colorado.

Okay.

Hunky Dory's Park.

Gotta go.

Middlefart Stadium.

Okay, these are like, oh, these are soccer stadiums, I guess.

Oh, no, like, I'm talking about branded ones.

Yeah, Pizza Hut Park.

Oh, my God.

Jobbing.com Arena.

Easy Credit St.

Oh, no, that's in Germany.

Hold on.

That is...

So funny.

I still think the best one is Smoothie King.

Quick and Loans Arena.

Yeah, stuff like that.

But see, when you say it so many times, like I've watched like TV or I forget what Quick and Loans is, I've watched so much sports with Ben.

Oh, we're back at Quick and Loans Arena.

It doesn't sound weird anymore.

San Diego Pet Co Park.

I've heard of it.

And actually, it sounds iconic.

Fucking cute.

I've never heard of that one.

Yeah, no, it's a really funny thing that like you can buy

names.

Yeah, and it just got me thinking about like Goal Morning Toast Arena.

Obviously.

Obviously.

Okay.

KFC Yum is a stadium.

I had heard that one.

I hadn't.

Okay, these are the 12 strangest guaranteed rate fields.

Smoothie King Center.

Oh, it's Center.

KFC Yum Center.

That's so crazy.

Why couldn't they just call it KFC Stadium?

No, I don't know.

Do you think they serve KFC?

Yeah.

Tony Macaroni Arena.

I can't.

Talking Stick Resort Arena.

That's where the Phoenix Suns play.

Hold on.

Welcome Stadium.

That's not a bad name.

No.

No.

I still, I stand by my original choice of Smoothie King Center, whatever you said it was called, being the weirdest one.

No, that's just like a perfect example of like weird brands.

Like, how does Smoothie King have enough money for naming rights?

Obviously, not every arena is going to be as valuable as Staple Center, but still.

Yeah, because like the celebs are always at Staple Center.

Like if you're a touring artist, like you're the coolest ones, most popular ones play at Staple Center.

So that's great for crypto.com.

You know, Ariana Grande spotted at crypto.com center.

Same.

Stadium center.

So that, like, if it's here for the next 20 years, like, I guess, like, crypto is going to be around for 20 years.

Yeah, at least.

I think it's, I think it's here to stay, personally.

But what do I know?

Nothing.

But that's also like the NASDAQ buying.

Because it's a currency exchange, crypto.com.

No, I guess that's like

SoFi Stadium.

Is the,

like, I'm not even going to pretend to know.

You know what SoFi?

No.

The financial, like, it's an app?

Yes, you do.

I'm just not saying it right, probably.

S-O-F-I.

Sophie?

Yeah.

No, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Okay.

It would be like Robin Hood Stadium.

I use Robin Hood.

Robin Hood Stadium.

Yeah.

Which was probably in our future.

Yeah.

But these opportunities only come up once in a while because when people buy naming rights, they buy it for, like we said, 20 years.

Yeah.

So.

So that's exciting.

It is exciting.

I thought that was.

I literally thought you were pranking me.

Like, I couldn't believe what was coming out of your mouth.

Yeah.

It's just wild.

All right.

Let's do the TV recap.

Jackie wants to talk talk about Ultimate Girls Trip, which I have not seen, and then we're going to talk about last night's Vanner Pump Rules, which is brought to you by Bolin Branch.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh, yeah.

Need to hide those and be all good.

Like, I'm trying to, like, run an advertisement.

I waited till the end, and you said tice first, and that opened up the floodgates.

Okay.

Pump rules last night, I have to say.

MVP of the episode, say it on three.

No.

Lisa Venterpohm.

She was being so funny When Tom came in and was like, you know, that thing like from TGI Fridays?

And she's like, I don't have anything in my house from TGI Fridays.

She was being funny.

Oh, she's funny.

I must be funny.

When she's not being like the worst ever, she's actually kind of funny.

No, I'm telling you, Tabula Rasa with Lisa Vannerpom.

Tabula Rasa, yes.

Also, like her reaction to the Tom sitting there in their glasses, like pitching nonsense was how I felt.

Having to watch that scene, this show is really becoming, I feel like, a personal attack on me.

Yeah, I can't.

And it's like, I feel like I'm in some like social experiment where it's like, How long will this girl watch something that makes her skin crawl?

Yeah, until she turns it off.

No, totally.

But it's hard because while there are things that make my skin crawl, there's also things that I love.

Like Lala.

I think Katie Maloney was being so funny.

But when they went to like their restaurant with that guy, like reading their mission statement, like a funkadelic space where you and they're like, This is a mission statement for our employees.

You guys, their night at the Roxbury, these two.

Like, I actually

cannot.

And like, Tom Sandoval is trying, he's on my nerve.

He's trying me.

And I don't know how I watch this week after week.

Like, no, I can't recall the last time a person on my TV like got under my skin in this way.

Like, I, it is infuriating.

Every word that comes out of his mouth.

Like, I'm in pain.

I'm in pain.

I hear you.

But I do have to say, I actually did really think like what Tom Schwartz is going through, like, with his family.

I think a lot of people can relate to that.

Like, during the pandemic, like, your family members losing their jobs and like wanting to help, wanting to do your own, like, growing your business.

It just makes everything Tom Sandoval is doing even more out of touch

tom sandoval is like spending all of this money he has not a care in the world 1700 sconces and like tom schwartz is really struggling and like this is a business for him like the it just highlights how frivolous and out of touch tom sandoval is especially as it pertains to like starting a business you don't just start with the fancy 1700 sconces you know and so and the fact that

either Tom Sandoval knows that Schwartz is going through it and is still buying the sconces or Schwartz doesn't feel like he can tell his best friend like what's really weighing on him.

That was it was really sad for me.

Like I felt like I felt like I understood what he was saying and it made this whole restaurant endeavor seem so stupid.

Like you're on a hit show.

You're making a lot of money per episode.

You have a steak in a restaurant that you don't have to do anything for.

Like just enjoy that.

Like send money back to your family.

Like that's more than enough money.

Like I feel like this mortgage or loan, like it's such a bad idea.

Like, and I know we're happening watching something that happened a year ago, so I don't know where they ended up, but I'm like screaming at him.

Like, shut down this restaurant before you get yourself into a hole that you cannot get out of.

Yeah, like, and just the fact that it's called Schwartz and Sandy's and Tom Sandoval is at the helm, like, this is a recipe for disaster.

He's not a business person.

Like, he's not, he has no business.

And now he's focusing on his music career, as we reported yesterday.

Like, what about the restaurant?

If anything, if, if Tom Schwartz wants to expand his business, like, talk to Lisa about Tom Tom in Vegas, you know, like Tom Tom in New York.

No, I think Tom Sandoval, and you have to imagine every decision that they make as a duo is Tom Sandoval's decision.

I think he's like so desperate to get out from under like the helm of Lisa, like really own his own restaurant, which I'm like, who the fuck would want to do that?

You know how hard it is to own and run a restaurant?

And like Lisa's got a down pat and she just forked over 10%.

Like that's the dream.

And yeah, take one to Vegas.

100%.

Take one to Atlantic City.

100%.

And also like restaurants are mostly unprofitable.

Like it's not just about like turning the lights on and the money's going to roll in.

Like you pour so much money into it and knowing that Schwartz already has so much on his plate and so many people that he's worried about and taken care care of.

It's like,

it makes me really sad.

I was like feeling so sad.

I was hurting for him.

And Katie is an amazing wife.

Amazing.

And I just want to say, if my

partner

had

a partnership, friendship, et cetera, with someone like Tom Sanderson

who took up really like 90% of his life, like, I don't know if I could stick around, honestly.

And the thing is, Katie's really smart.

And like, Katie runs multiple businesses.

And I think, first of all, they're just so fucking stupid for not letting her in.

Like, if there's someone who wants to work for free, like, why are you not, like, you're so power hungry, you can't let someone write your mission statement?

Like, that's not even that important.

Like, they should let her help.

She is much smarter than both of them put together.

And she should really step in.

Like, I just don't think she knows how bad it is.

Cause like, I think.

She's so annoyed by Tom Sandoval.

She, every time he walks in the room, she leaves.

And therefore, she doesn't really know that, like, he's running them into the ground because who could stand to be near him for

five minutes, let alone he's in your house.

Yeah.

No, it's, it was upsetting.

Yeah.

I was upset.

upset, but I really do love Schwartz and Katie, and it's just, I don't know.

Oh, I want to talk about Sheena.

So, when they were talking about Femme Fatale, and I told you this because I FaceTimed you, Sheena was like, Oh my god, why are people talking about the fact that I was on a show called Femme Fataling?

Now they're gonna go Google it and see my boobs.

Obviously, I had to Google it.

See my boobs was really a conservative statement, Sheena.

She's in a porno.

She's doing sex.

She's doing sex.

Yeah, like in multiple positions.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

I didn't see it.

Well, you don't have to because I did, and I just want to say, like,

just don't lie.

There's nothing wrong with it, but don't lie.

Yeah, we're not seeing your boobs, like, we're seeing everything.

Sex, acts of sex, acts of sex, like front, back, dog, all of it.

Oh, wow.

Yes.

Wow.

And then she turns out to be this killer.

I watched the whole thing.

It was a good.

No, it was like 30 seconds.

She's like playing with this knife and like rewinding all these tapes of her having sex.

It was bizarre.

But yeah, I just thought that was an interesting factoid.

Also, Brock and Sheena are just like

when they were doing that workout with Charlie, like, I was just looking at them and I'm like, how did these two people find each other?

Like, they're so bizarre.

Yeah.

And he's just so big.

Like, I cannot get over his size.

Yeah.

No, it's, I guess, like, she still seems happy with him.

And I don't know.

I don't have any thoughts yet.

Well, I just thought it was, like, really weird of Brock to like be so nasty to Lala and then be like, I'm going to go apologize to her.

Like, why don't you just bury the hatchet when she came to bury the hatchet?

Because he, like, it's not a, like.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I told you that ever since you planted in my head that Brock watched Van and Prump Worlds.

When he's sewing, he obviously watches Southern Charm, too.

Yeah.

He's like, wants to be quirky and funny.

And now he's going to make a line of baby clothes from his old shirts.

Literally.

I'm good, by the way.

All set.

I will get you one, though, for your baby shower.

Thank you so much.

That is really so sweet.

Anyways, per usual for me,

Lala was the star of the episode just coming in.

Like, everybody just wants to try and freeze her out.

And it's like, you know what?

You should have a show without Lala.

Yeah, good luck.

I'm just letting you know: if Lala leaves the show, I'm done.

She's the last straw for me.

And I really feel like she, it's crazy how, like, Tom Sandoval is like to her, you need to grow.

But, like, in last week's episode, she spelled it out so clearly, like, how much growth she's done in the last few years, like

becoming sober, losing her dad, having a baby, becoming a stepmom.

Like, she's a whole new Lala.

Even the way that she- And Tom Sandoval is still doing the same moronic shit, and he has the absolute gall to tell someone else to grow up.

Right.

The way she, like, walks into the event and just immediately starts,

making amends with the people who she's having beef with.

Like, I, I really, I just respect her so much.

I love her so much.

And I know I'm also biased, but like, she is that girl.

I'm sorry.

Every week like.

And Tom Sandoval thinks he's that girl, but he is not, nor will he ever be that girl.

Not at all.

But you know who is also that girl?

A little bit.

Who?

You're not going to, you don't know where I'm going with this.

Raquel

and her femme fital look.

Yeah.

Sickening.

Sickening.

Like,

so many, like, I'm on a new level with Raquel.

I've already been really liking her this season.

I'm she's finding her voice.

She's so sweet.

She's so patient, but then she showed up with that look and that hair, and I was just like, oh, yes.

The nose job storyline, like, I could live without, but

she's, I agree.

She's stepping up.

Also, the friendship between Lala and James, though, no one ever understands it.

is actually really sweet like yeah when she came over with the nordstrom bag and the uggs yeah and they were like talking about the night before and the nose and everything and she was they're just like they really just get along no i never understood it for sure.

But I think they're like, they are both, and they were both acting in a way that was like harmful to the other.

But like, at the end of the day, there were just like two people whose personalities just really mesh.

Like, they can have a conversation.

It just goes on and on.

Yeah.

It was enjoyable to watch.

Yeah.

And like Lala at home, like, I just

need a reality show called Lala.

Look at me.

I got Lala at home, and everybody knows it.

Everybody knows it.

Anyways, each week is just getting more and more

difficult.

And like, Charlie's so fake.

Like, she's sitting there every time Sandina will be like talking so much shit about Lala.

And like, obviously, she's like afraid of Lala.

Cause then Lala comes over.

She's like, hi, like, are you having fun?

No, and also, like, so Charlie was like not pleased to hear that Sheena meet up with Lala because she's worried that Sheena's gonna, you know, go back to Lala.

What is the beef with Charlie and Lala?

Like, there's really nothing.

What, because Lala like didn't understand the food stuff and

And talks about it.

I mean, like last season about the pasta when she said like people are fat because they eat pasta.

Yeah, I don't know.

I really don't pretend to understand Charlie.

And I feel like I've allotted like too many brain cells to the show.

I have none to give to Charlie.

Okay, I think that's really.

Like, I really act like she's not on the show, and it really makes it more enjoyable.

Okay.

All right, tell me about Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.

Okay, so the premise, Ultimate Girls trip, seven Real Housewives All-Stars, seven days in Turks and Cacos.

It's only seven days, which I didn't really know.

They're in like a really nice villa.

Obviously, you know, in the beginning, beginning, the first few minutes, like it was a little cringe because they're getting on the plane and stuff.

They're getting on the plane, but also they have their confessionals.

And like it's interesting, it's so different from Real House-wise because they talk about the fact that they are stars, which I like.

Teresa's comparing her Instagram followers to Ramona's.

Ramona's saying, My fans want me to get the best room.

I have to get the best room.

And it's like really a little bit cringe.

The egos are just out of control.

And it's like,

it's uncomfortable at times.

No, you could have predicted like putting Teresa, Ramona in the same room.

Teresa is on her absolute best behavior.

You would think she's the sweetest.

You're lying.

You would think she's a

candy.

So sweet.

No, you know what?

So sweet.

It's easy for her to be like this big bad wolf in her franchise, but like, you can't go up against Ramona.

You can't go up against Kenya.

Like,

Kyle, like, no one's going to put up with your whole shit.

Everyone is taking a different route to how they're playing it out on this show.

And I'm just going to explain it really quickly.

Teresa's sweetest that's insane to me.

Sweet as pie.

Except in the third episode, she does get into a fight with Melissa because they start talking about the origins of how Melissa got on the show and they do not agree on the story whatsoever.

And Teresa's still so mean saying that like Melissa was like constantly DMing Andy Cohen.

And Melissa was like, no, I wasn't.

Oh my God.

And they can't, and it's like, this is like the

their it's the crux of their biggest.

And they can like they they're fine with each other as much as they can be, but they will never agree agree.

And they just, like, can't address these issues.

And all the other women were like, and even Cynthia was like, these two are sisters.

They are not friends.

Like, they do not like each other.

They do not get along.

They don't vibe.

And it's so true.

And it's what we've been saying.

They respect each other.

And they both love Joe enough to like stop the nonsense.

But they don't.

I don't know how Melissa puts up with it.

They really don't like each other.

Okay, so Teresa comes in.

She's deciding to be sweet as sugar.

And also, she's also...

Definitely happier in her life with Louis.

Yeah.

He wrote her a card for every day that she opens every morning.

Like,

she's so wrapped up in love and like this love cocoon that maybe she really is feeling sweet right now.

It's also funny how she leads with that she is a six-time author, four-time New York Times bestseller.

Like

the other women who talk about like their accolades, like I, Ramona's like, I brought this, like, you guys have a show because of New York.

Everyone thought that was a crazy thing to say, but it's not borderline true.

Everyone has like their things that they tout.

And for Teresa, it's being an author, which I did.

I mean, her books were really popular.

It's just interesting that that's what she leads with.

Like, and it's also facts.

I'm fine with that.

So she's coming in, just she's playing it low-key.

Melissa and Kyle are kind of coming in on the same wavelength, and they, which is like, we just want to get along, have fun, and we want people to like us.

Oh, I would be hanging out with them for sure.

Yeah, they're going about it in a really good way.

Like, we're going to be low maintenance.

We knew each other before.

They have...

hung out before and then I'll talk about the room situation.

But ultimately,

there's one room that has like a queen bed and a bunk bed the bunk is kind of big like those queen bunks but two people two people have to share a room on the first floor and it winds up being melissa and kyle because they just don't want to deal with room drama and also like they are like super fun and they get along and they like stay out late like yes so that worked for me now ramona is coming in on full ramona turbocharge you know i'm such a ramona like defender but when she goes on about the rooms like i okay turn on her immediately okay i have a hot take that I think I'm the only person on the planet who's gonna say this.

So on the plane, there, Cynthia does this, like really, and by the way, I mean to talk about Cynthia.

She came in on that whole mother.

I'm really like, my heart is with Cynthia.

Oh, really?

Yes, yes, yes.

So she comes in, like,

I think Kenya was really worried about like how she was going to be on the trip.

And they were like, we'd have each other's back.

On the plane, Cynthia does this whole presentation about.

Are they all on the same flight?

I think they all flew from like Miami.

They all like met and then they're on one.

So it's seven women on one plane.

Yes.

Okay.

Cynthia does this whole presentation about Brooklyn and how this is Kenya's first time away from Brooklyn.

Oh my God.

I thought you were going to say she brought Brooklyn.

No, no, no, no, no.

And so like we need to help Kenya cut the cord.

It was like so sweet.

And she was like, and Kenya has a lot going on in her personal life.

The divorce.

She has a court date while they're in Turks and Caicos.

And Cynthia says, and so for that reason, I think Kenya should have the master.

Oh my God.

And all of the women had been talking like in their confessionals over like even like Mauricio before Kyle left was like, Kyle, you should tell them that I set up the house so you have to have the master.

Like everybody had their own plans for the master.

And then they get to the house and they're all like doing a tour.

And Ramona, you know, wants the best room in the house.

And instead of doing that, she found a sub-par room.

So smart.

A nondescript room.

But like has its own bathroom, has everything you need.

Has everything you need.

Not the best room by any means.

And it might not even be the second best.

Just a room that's alone, not the bunk room.

Yeah.

And she gets in the bed and she gets in the shower and everyone, they literally all come in while she's in the bed.

They're like, get up.

And she's like, no.

And so, and then she, they leave and she hops in the shower.

So who wants that room?

No, by the way, that is so smart.

No, but they're livid with her.

Like, that she's not being a team player.

And at one point, I heard someone say while they were touring all the rooms that Ramona should be in the bunk room.

And that's where I am just like.

She is the oldest one.

This woman is 64 years old.

Why should she be in the bunk room?

Yeah.

And I actually think her being the animal that she is and taking like a sub-par single room is the best you're going to get from Ramona.

And you should just be grateful.

I 100% agree.

They were were giving her so much grief over it.

Like, for the whole day, she, like, they went to a dinner that night.

She'd also offended other people at the same time.

But that was, they were, like, so disrespected that she did that.

And it's like, she keeps saying that she deserves the first, like, a room because of seniority.

And I think she keeps bringing it back to, like, she's been on the show the longest.

But for me, it's like.

A 64-year-old woman deserves to be comfortable in her room.

I'm sorry.

Like, Melissa is

35.

Like,

Ramona shouldn't be in a room with a a bunk bed.

That's so fucking disrespectful.

No, I agree.

Like, it is like an age thing.

And Melissa, I probably is the youngest on that trip.

And, like, she can handle it.

And they're totally fine in there.

But when I need to find who said, like, Ramona should be in the bunk room because that just like rubbed it.

So wrong.

So the wrong way.

Elder abuse.

I'm sorry.

Literally.

Literally.

So, anyways, Ramona is just.

So who gets the primary bedroom?

And you know, they never addressed who got the master.

And then in the second or third episode, you just see the master, and it's Kenya.

Kenya got it.

Okay.

And also, Kenya is the one giving Ramona the most grief about the way she handled the rooms.

And it's like, wait, you just want snuck into the best you can.

You're in the castle.

You can't.

And it's just really, like, I know everyone thinks Ramona's, like, in the wrong, but I really don't.

Like, sure, she could have waited, but no one, like, everybody is so mean to her.

They were going to put her in the bunk room.

No, totally.

That's not right.

She's an old woman.

She deserved a decent room.

Like, so.

Anyways, that's my spiel.

And yes, she did.

But then also, so before they left, she's FaceTiming with Kyle.

And she's like, I don't really know Teresa.

Ramona says this.

I don't really know Teresa's, but I think she's a bit bit of a scarecrow if I only had a brain.

Oh my god.

Kyle tells that to Melissa.

Melissa tells that to Teresa.

And so like now Ramona's apologizing for something that like it was a joke.

It was a joke and like it was before this all started.

She's just coming in like negative 20 points.

That's so Ramona.

But then that night they go to

dinner and Cynthia, who I just I love so dearly, she sees Ramona.

Like the whole group is bonding over how awful Ramona is.

And Ramona's really on the odds, but like it's sad, but like Ramona just can't even see herself.

So it's like, she's not a sympathetic character, but just like everybody is like,

they're so like gleeful in that they have this thing to unite over.

So Cynthia pulls Ramona aside and like explains to her why all the things that she did wrong, how she could have done them right.

And Ramona gets it.

And she's like, thank you, Cynthia.

And she comes back to the table and she goes on her apology tour.

And I think she does some great apologies.

I don't know if you're making me want to watch it or not, but I really want to watch it now.

Okay, well, that's good.

I'm glad.

I'm sharing the highlights, and it's still pretty good, but there's just something about it that's just

a little awkward for me.

I can't explain it.

Maybe it gets better.

So there's the three episodes.

Anyways, Cynthia gets through to Ramona like no one else can.

Ramona apologizes and everybody.

Tabula Rasa, we have seven women in the house who are, you know, getting on.

Throughout the other episodes, Ramona still does her Ramona things, but they're starting to understand her more.

And they're also seeing the soft side of Ramona, who is like this girl's girl, you know, like Kyle's talking a lot about like her body image issues and Ramona's just like pumping her up.

And like Kyle's like...

I'm telling you, there's a soft side to Ramona.

No, I, I know.

Other people are so hard on Ramona.

And like, it's just, it's frustrating.

She does herself no favor.

She does herself no favor.

She's also an easy target.

Yeah.

Anyways,

now there's

beef between Cynthia and Kenya.

Oh, wow.

Because Cynthia is really...

You're supposed to really stick with the person from your sitting.

I know.

The people from each other's cities are like first of all when Ramona was going through it Luanne was nowhere to be found.

Also on the boat one day Luann everyone's starting to share their like their story and they're like you probably heard it as this but like this is what it was and everyone has like preconceived notions about each other and so Luanne was talking about Tom and Ramona gets from the table and she's like I can't hear this again and all of the women are like Why are you gonna get up your friends opening up like blah blah blah and you know Luanne is about to like sugarcoat what Ramona knows no totally like and it's just like she's just.

She can't lie in front of Ramona.

Right.

So Ramona excuses herself to like get a drink and all the women are like, Ramona's an animal.

And it's like,

I don't know.

Like to hear Luann tell like the Tom story from a vantage point of like, he was my drinking buddy.

I thought I could change him.

Oh, God.

Is that what she said?

Yes.

I thought I could love the bad out of him.

And it's like, we all told you.

No, literally.

So I understood why Ramona had to leave.

And like, all these girls are really acting like Mother Teresa.

And it's like, it would be like everyone, you know, having sympathy for Teresa on something that like Melissa,

on the issue of even them, like how they started on the show.

Everyone is turning on the person from their cities because everybody is like putting themselves in this like really glamorous

light.

And it's like not 100% true.

It's not false, but it's like obfuscating the other stuff.

Honestly, it sounds good.

Like I'm going to watch it.

I'm just like preoccupied, but I will.

Okay.

You're like in no rush and only three episodes dropped.

And it is like good.

And the editing, it's like kind of giving me like Love Island vibes.

I actually saw some clips that I had the same feeling about.

Yeah, like every time they get home from dinner, it's like housewives after dark.

And it's just like them like dancing around and drinking, like whatever.

So

Kyle and Melissa are getting along really well.

Melissa and Kenya are getting along really, really well.

Which is also like, and Cynthia and Teresa are getting along really well.

Cynthia and Teresa.

They have the same energy, they say.

Okay.

And so Cynthia's now having a tough time because Kenny is kind of really bonding with everyone.

Kenny was like on our show in Atlanta, like I'm always the outlier.

And like Cynthia's bringing me in.

But this time, like everybody wants to hang out with me and really likes me.

And like, I think it's just like a different dynamic for the two of them.

And Cynthia's, like, something happened.

She did one of her Bailey cues.

And you know, when like you just, you just flip a switch and you're just like.

upset and emotional and offended by everything of course and you can't get out of it of course cynthia can't come get out of it And she's just like,

but like, I just have so much love for her.

And

it's just,

I don't know, it's tough.

She needs to like

put it behind her, but she can't.

And I understand.

She's silly, taking a nap.

Yeah, no.

And I understand not being able.

Of course.

Yeah.

Well, it sounds really good.

I'm going to watch it.

Okay.

So those are my thoughts.

There were moments of cringe, but ultimately, you know, I wasn't on my phone as much as I could have been.

And it's a pretty good setup.

And the women, you know,

it's good stuff.

It's just really interesting to see how they like

show themselves in front of, you know, just, it was interesting.

Present themselves.

Yeah.

Because it's different dynamics than them on their own shows.

Like the egos are just unchecked.

Especially Teresa.

No, Teresa has checked herself in at the doors.

On her previous show.

Yes,

no, but like on this show.

Ramona has is running unchecked.

Kenya is being Kenya.

And everyone else is like just trying to not be the villain.

Yeah, so hard.

Okay, cool.

Well, that is our show, right?
