He chose to sit with Yeranti.

I'm fucking sick of this shit.

I haul ass here.

I get sweaty every day walking over here and I walk because I bring Theo.

And every fucking day, he sits next to you and you know what?

I'm fucking fed up.

Theo.

Theo, you know what?

I used to feel bad because you didn't have a dog.

Now you do.

Theo, come here.

I've got brew and do.

Come here.

Yes.

Come on.

Come on.

The reason why he came and sat with me was because I was eating a cliff bar.

So what?

Okay.

Yeah.

There he goes.

Yes, come here.

It's really...

It's a good mom.

It's not that deep.

I feel like I'm literally like, you know, like the hard-working mom and then the cool auntie comes over and like the kid loves the auntie and i'm just like the mean mom who enforces the rules you know yeah who just taunted him with an empty cliff bar jackie i'm a joan cusack in raising helen and you i'm helen you're helen that's very true i mean du and i have a special bond he usually does sit with you but now he's torn he's literally this is like that tick tock challenge theo come here angel

Okay, we need to move on.

He'll make his choice in due time.

In due time.

Well, it's Thursday, everyone.

Hope you had a great week so far.

I'm so excited to, even though it was like only a three-day week, four-day week for us.

I'm so excited that Friday is almost upon us.

I hope everyone has their weekend plans.

Settling in, getting excited.

Looks like he made his choice.

Wow, Theo just jumped back on Jackie's couch.

Choices were made.

It's fine.

You know why I think he's sitting next to me, honestly?

Because I am wearing new Morning Toast Fall merch.

Drops next week.

We'll give you the detes in a second.

That's why.

And I just feel like he knows that in order to sell this merch and make it look amazing,

presence needs to accompany it.

So look, I have a new merch here, too.

This is a new sweatshirt design.

It says the morning toast.

This color is green.

I'm wearing a size medium.

And we're dropping some sickening styles on Tuesday, this coming Tuesday.

So gird your loins, prepare yourselves.

We'll be showing you all of the different styles that we have.

New phone cases.

New phone cases.

We've got sweatshirts.

We've got t-shirts.

We've got like some cute sets.

So stay tuned for all of that.

But I think that dude just wants to make sure that my frame where I'm showcasing the new merch looks as good as possible.

I'm trying to move past this.

I really am.

But like my feelings are really hurt.

Like I can't lie.

Like what?

I should just, I should just not say how I'm feeling.

You should just move the fuck on, yeah.

No, Theo.

Are you for real?

I love him.

Just come sit with me.

I'm your mom.

I'm just craving Theo and like he's literally just abandoning me for his auntie.

You gotta get a grip.

No, come.

I love you.

He has autonomy.

He has rights and he made his choice.

But I just don't think he was in the right headspace.

That's what it is.

You think his tea was under the influence?

100% by the new sickening merch.

And that's how sickening the merch is.

We're foolishly much of the warehouse because everything

is just sickening.

Sickening the warehouse down, as per usual.

Anyway, stay tuned for all of the styles we'll be showing you over the next few days.

It's really cute stuff.

And it's the first of many sickening warehouse drops that are coming towards the end of the year.

Like, I would just, I would just quake in your boots, okay?

If I were you.

No, like, fall, winter, FW fw 2021 that's the year yeah is really our season also spring summer joggers for sure but like we really thrive oh in fall winter it's crazy how long it takes me to get dressed in warm weather and how like literally i got ready today in five minutes yeah it's a beautiful thing and i'm not sweating in my sleep so i don't really have to like run a blow dryer through my hair like it's just i need to live in antarctica Yeah, those are my peeps.

I have two things to say.

One, there's a new episode up on the Patreon, and I'm just saying, people are saying.

People are saying that it's the best vlog ever.

That's what they're saying.

And you know what?

I literally put my heart and soul into the recording of it, the editing of it.

It took me all day yesterday.

And I'm so proud of the fruits of my labor.

And it's a vlog.

It's the second episode for the month of October.

And it was supposed to be a vlog of my trip to visit Olivia in Florida.

But

I like dropped the ball a little bit and like I forgot.

Like I was doing really good.

And then I literally forgot to vlog for two days.

So then I decided I wasn't going to let that footage go to waste because we got pieces of K in that footage.

Yeah.

So I'm like, you know what?

I'm going on another trip.

Let me make this a two-parter.

So I vlogged my bender in Puerto Rico with Brian.

And I don't know, there's kind of like a triumphant, unexpected ending.

Do you agree?

Yeah, I watched it last night.

I enjoyed it so immensely.

It felt like for me the closest I'll come to going on vacation anytime soon.

Now, I agree.

It was an amazing vlog.

And I really like it.

It was 30 minutes.

I put it on my TV and I just was living life.

But it does hurt when we've done over 100 vlogs.

We're both in them.

And then the one I'm not in, best vlog ever.

Okay, by the way, no, by the way, I feel that 100%.

Because that's like how I felt when, like, you were pregnant, you know, and like, I grew up.

I'm like, what about me?

So, you know what?

Like, let the little people get something, okay?

Okay.

The Patreon is like quaking for your pregnancy, and I'm like over here having a bender.

Like, we couldn't be on more different levels.

And you know, that's why I'm either in Jack.

There's something for everyone.

That's what's so beautiful about the Patreon.

There's something for everyone.

There are so many vlogs.

There are so many episodes.

So head over there because we have some great stuff coming up for October too.

And that vlog was really a treat to watch.

I felt like, and we really didn't catch up a lot while you were on your trip.

We didn't FaceTime like we normally do.

So I really felt like I was experiencing your trip.

I feel all caught up.

I feel really good about it.

I'm so glad.

And I just know how much I love the Patreon, that like literally I'm in a bathing suit for half the vlog.

Yeah, no, you are giving us everything that you have.

I'm giving you chest.

I'm giving you legs.

I'm giving you it all.

You are.

In my heart and soul.

And I get deep.

She does get deep.

About, you know, some personal struggles.

Some personal struggles.

Yeah.

So check it out.

Enjoy.

And there's just so many perks to being a Patreon member these days.

Like,

I just couldn't see why not.

You know, presale season.

Pre-sale season.

You guys, yesterday was the craziest day.

It's kind of a day I've been dreading, like, literally since the pandemic started.

I like low-key love the pandemic because, you know, My first tour was so big and like so great and we broke so many barriers.

And then you just become like old news, you know, like and you like, I don't know.

I was just like dreading it.

I'm like, do people still want to come i didn't know so yesterday was a great day and i wanted to thank everyone for showing up during the presale there was a couple sold out shows boston has been added a second show Presale continues today into tomorrow morning.

And then if you're not a Patreon member on my Instagram will be all the links.

Everything will be completely open to all the shows.

And I hope that everyone can come.

So yeah, yesterday was just like the busiest day of my fucking life.

And I had to leave my house at night, which you know I hate doing on the weekdays.

Busy, busy.

Meetings, meetings, meetings.

Tickets, tickets, tickets.

Podcast, podcast, podcast, merch, drop, merch, drop, merch, drop.

Merch, merch, merch, merch, merch.

Ow.

By the way, we got so many positive comments about our gorgeous rendition of the final story song yesterday.

Yeah, so I think that we'll use that feedback and we'll take that into today's episode

and in every endeavor that we do.

In every endeavor that we do.

Yeah.

I feel feel really good about that.

What also I feel good about is that we have the Real Hot Sucks of Beverly Hills part 1 reunion recap today.

And you know what?

For part one, it was pretty good.

Yeah, we have a lot to talk about.

And I do feel like they were giving us like splashes of Erica tea just to keep us satiated until part four.

And that works for me.

Did you watch Garcelle and Watch Rapids Live?

I didn't.

Okay, I did with Amber Tamlin, who like

it was like just the Garcelle show, you know?

But that's good.

And like Amber's here too.

It was just like weird for Amber.

anytime.

Okay, we'll talk about it when we recap Beverly Hills.

It was a good episode, and she looked sickening the boots down.

Well, I started, I, it, when I record Beverly Hills now, they just record Watch What Happens Live and give themselves the view.

It took me to cheat the race.

How nice for them.

And so I saw the beginning, but then I was like, you know what?

It's getting late and I should start reading.

I should transition to reading.

So I started the new Sophie Kinsella book, Party Crasher.

It's really cute.

She can do no wrong, Sophie Kinsella, but it's definitely not my favorite.

Got it.

Well, that Watch What Happens Live was was filled with juicy tidbits.

You know, her garcel doesn't hold back.

Great.

Can't wait to hear all about it.

So I think we should just jump right in.

Without further ado, did it do to do?

Where are you sitting by yet ante?

It is time for the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

You really didn't have to bring that up again.

Rub it in my face.

Sorry.

Our first story, Casey Musgraves is responding to the Grammys excluding her new new album, Star-Cross, from the country category.

So we briefly mentioned this yesterday as just like a passing tidbit that we thought was an interesting factoid, but it turns out it's actually a lot deeper.

Casey Musgraves is making her feelings known about the recent decision that has excluded her new album, Star Cross, from the country music category at the Grammys.

Her fifth studio album has reportedly been deemed ineligible for the country album category and will instead compete in the pop category at next year's awards ceremony.

On Wednesday, Casey posted a series of pictures to her Instagram story in response to the move that was made public in a letter written to the Recording Academy by Cindy Mabe, who's the president of her record company, Universal Music Group.

So the president of Casey's record company wrote a letter to the Grammys, and Casey posted on her Instagram a series of stories saying you can take the girl out of the country genre, but you can't take the country out of the girl.

Which is a famous line from my favorite Casey Musgrave song, Dime Store Cowgirl.

You can take me out of the country,

but you can take the country out of me.

No.

Well, she could have just said that.

No, or like played a clip or something.

And used the music feature on Instagram.

And you could see the lyrics.

And then she also did a slideshow of her with like country icons saying, Ain't that right?

At Loretta Lynn Official.

She also tagged Shania Twain, George Strait, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, and Reba McIntyre.

And then at the end, she posted a picture of her, you know, head to toe in one of her country looks with the middle fingers.

So then I was like, oh, I can't say that.

She wants to be country.

She's not pleased with, she wants to be considered country.

She's not pleased that they moved her to the pop category.

So in this letter that the president of the record company, she asked the Grammys to, quote, fully understand the importance of Casey Musgraves to country music.

The idea that a handful of people, including competitors who would benefit from Casey not being in the country category, are deciding what is country only exacerbates the problem.

So they're saying that a handful of people, like the recording academy decided this, including competitors.

I don't know who that would be, would benefit from Casey not being in in the country category or deciding what is country only exacerbates the problem.

Okay, I do have to say, I do think, first of all, Casey Musgraves with all these pictures of her, she's country, bona fide country gal.

I don't think anyone can take that away from her.

But I've listened to Casey Musgrave since day one.

It's something I pride myself on.

And I think Golden Hour was even a little bit of a stretch as being country.

And Star Crossed is not country.

Like it's not.

And you can be a country person and live in Nashville and write your songs in Nashville and want to be country.

But at the end of the day,

I guess like a genre is a social construct.

Like what is country?

But it's not country.

Yeah.

You know what this reminds me of?

Red.

Yes.

Because Red was considered a country album, even though it is completely a pop album.

It's just like Taylor had it billed it as a pop album.

So of course it won all the country categories.

And then her next album, which she's like, now this is pop, it's like, you don't, the music is what it is.

Right, no.

And this also reminds me when Justin Bieber was upset because he wrote like a full RB album, and the Grammys have categorized it as like Christian music or something.

So, or vice versa, I don't remember.

He was really, he was pop when he wanted to be RB.

So, like, I don't know, at the end of the day, a genre is a social construct.

Like, how do you decide like what's pop?

It's like a sound.

But, as you know, I think someone who's very well read in country music, like Star-Cross is not at all country.

Yeah.

And like Golden Hour, which I even thought was like her poppiest work yet, like had twinges of country.

So like

ready?

I can't speak, sorry.

Golden Hour was her red.

Yes,

but no, because that would make this her 1989, which like Taylor said it was pop.

Yeah, no, I just mean in the sense of like the transitional work of art.

Yeah, you know, it's all true, like, they're all transition from from each other.

Yeah, but no, they usually they transition and stay within genre.

Like, for me, Starcross, and this is what we spoke about last week,

I don't, like, love it.

Like, it's so different.

You know, Golden Hour was different than her previous works, but still, like, was so Casey.

Yeah.

This is like such a departure.

Yeah.

Honestly, I mean, it's kind of like a silly thing to be like so oppressed about.

It's just.

It is what it is.

I mean, it's pop.

And I don't, I don't know what the big deal.

Like, and that should be an achievement for her that she's crossed categories and the Grammys recognizes that.

Yeah, I think like when it comes to winning, it's probably way easier to win in the country category than it is to win in the pop category up against like Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish, Liz Ola.

Yeah, yeah.

It's harder to be in that category for sure.

So I think like probably like a little life hack is like release a country album.

But

sorry, like it's just not country.

Like that's and it's very simple.

Yeah.

And I thought she was doing it on purpose.

So to hear that she's upset about it, I'm like, oh, this whole time I thought like you were fully changing on purpose.

Yeah, you were transitioning in and out of genres.

That's like the biggest thing an artist.

Yeah, the biggest flex for an artist is like, I'm not a one-trick pony.

I can win in country.

I can win in pop.

I can, and you know what?

I don't even think actually that star-crossed is pop.

I think it's like alternative.

It's very

different.

So I don't know if there's a category for alternative.

But that's like what pop is now.

Like Billie Eilish.

Yeah, I guess.

It's very Billie Eilish.

Yeah.

Interesting stuff.

Interesting stuff, man.

Yeah.

Well, we still support, but I would love like a true country Casey album next.

Like, that's just kind of what I'm craving.

I do worry that this will push her further away from country, even though the recording academy is not country.

It's not a part of country music.

But I think what that letter from her president said was that like people in country

organize this, which I don't think they have the power to.

Like who?

I don't know.

But like literally this morning I listened to like old ass Casey like album one like those random songs like finally got a flashing light.

They put it in last year.

I forgot what that song's called, but like it's so good.

Like I just love that music.

And so I'm all for growth.

I'm all supportive of it.

But I would love like a very Casey country album.

I think I'll be waiting a while.

I know.

I've been saying the same thing with Taylor Swift.

Yeah.

But we got Betty.

Yeah, but now we get like new, like as they transition to different genres, we get new country artists.

that's true for putting out some really great stuff that's literally how we got casey the lauren alena album is sickening lauren elena

must be recognized for being literally like someone who cannot write a bad song who refuses to release anything less than something stellar yeah no it's really true there's so many good you're right like up-and-coming country artists Okay, our next story.

Kim Kardashian says her daughter North tells her your house is so ugly when she's upset with mom.

Kim shares that her eldest daughter will sometimes criticize her home decor when upset over a disagreement.

On a new installment of Ellen's digital mom confessions web series, the Keeping Up alum reveals that eight-year-old North, whom she shares with Kanye, will tell her that their house is ugly during an argument.

She said, every time I get into some kind of disagreement with my daughter North, she thinks this is a dig to me.

She'll say, your house is so ugly.

It's all white.

Who lives like this?

First of all, North, it's your house, too.

She just thinks it like gets to her and is kind of also kind of mean because Kim likes her house.

No, for an eight-year-old, it's a very creative insult.

Like,

who lives like this?

Who lives like this?

And then also, like,

I don't know.

When I used to say things, I'd be like, I hate you.

Like, normal.

No, but North is just on another level for mall campers.

No, so, like, psychologically, North is supreme.

That's what I'm hearing here.

We've known, I feel, and, but every time we get like a little snippet of North, it's just like, like, North is, it's really like Nori's black book, you know?

Literally.

It's literally that.

What is up with like Kim and Ellen?

Like, why are the Kardashians obsessed with Ellen?

It's like the one thing I don't understand.

I don't know.

But maybe Ellen was someone who

embraced them from the beginning and has always had them on and taken them seriously.

I can't see that actually have happening.

Like Ellen taking them seriously.

Like Ellen is mean to everyone.

There's obviously some good

blood there.

Yeah, I think Chris and Ellen are like really good friends.

Like,

I don't know.

Like, would Kim ever do a sh a web series series for like a motherhood.com like so fucking random but like ellen okay no but i yes but you know what we really at the end of the day we benefit from this of course of course we got this cute fucking factoid yeah which is so hysterical and

it's just it's so funny but oh i saw yesterday that kim like won the house in the divorce yes but like it's very much kanye aesthetic aesthetic so i wonder if she'll be you know putting out any family photos on the mantle anytime soon.

Yeah, because like as much as I really, really respect like the whole vibe, you know, the arches and like the not one piece of dust or clutter, you know, it is a home with five children.

And like, I don't know.

Four.

Four children.

Like, I don't know.

I just think like there should be like pillows and stuff.

It's like,

I actually, the more I

live, the more I strive for a home like Kim's where there's nothing in sight.

But like, where do they keep their things?

Like, they obviously have to have a room that's stuff with stuff.

Like, where's your stuff?

Where are your chargers?

Yeah, so I'm very much of the same mindset.

Like, declutter your life, but like, you can leave like a picture frame or like a pillow.

I don't know.

Maybe now that Kanye is gone, like, there will be a throw pillow.

So, she got the Hidden Hills home, and he put his Idaho place, Wyoming, yeah, on the market, which is crazy.

I wonder why.

I wonder why, also.

But then he also bought that place in Malibu.

Oh, yeah, the garage for $60 million.

Yeah.

So

interesting, really.

also I feel like North should know like she's insulting her father when she says that right, it's not so much Kim.

That's very true.

Though Kim does like it, and it is really nice looking, it is, and I feel like it's actually made her like so famous.

Like people are obsessed with her sinks.

Yeah.

She's like the most recognizable bathroom in the world.

Yeah.

So like, of course she loves that.

But like, doesn't she ever just want to like, I don't know, do a puzzle?

Like, where are the puzzles?

When the kids want to like play cards, like, where are the cards?

I don't know.

What if she wants to light a candle?

Where are the matches?

That's a great question.

Where are the candles?

No, it's such a good good question.

It's crazy.

These are the things that I think about.

That I want.

No, I do.

I would like to see the room where they keep their things.

Yeah, like the...

It's probably scary, like, hoarders.

Yeah, like, everyone has like a junk drawer.

They have like a junk wink.

Okay, like, even her closet where she films all those like skims things is literally like a rod with three items of clothing.

So she has a closet where she actually keeps her things, where she doesn't film.

Yeah.

I would love to see it.

Have they done a spread about their home?

Like an arch?

Yes.

And they did a video.

It was really cute.

Gotta re-watch that.

Look for any hidden doors

to where all the clutter hangs.

Okay, ready for our next story.

Okay.

The NFL is taking the Super Bowl halftime sponsorship rights to market as their deal with Pepsi is set to expire.

Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift.

Pepsi owns the sponsorship rights for the Super Bowl halftime show in a deal that's set to expire after 2022.

One expert estimates the value of the halftime show to the NFL is in the range of the $25 million to $50 million per year.

Oh, per year?

Yes.

So Pepsi obtained the show rights in 2012 as part of a more significant marketing deal valued at over $2 billion.

Before that, auto parts manufacturer Bridgestone held the show's rights and paid up to $10 million annually.

So it's not clear how much a brand would pay, but using just estimates like for a 30-second ad at the Super Bowl, it's $6.5 million.

Applying that to a 12-minute halftime show would make it about $150 million.

But CNBC says it's unlikely that that's what a brand will pay.

Okay.

So obviously, the first thing I think of here is Taylor Swift.

And for those who don't know, here's a little backstory: is that Taylor Swift was a Diet Coke ambassador for many, many years during her red era.

Honestly, they're some of the most iconic commercials and photos.

Like, just go watch them.

They're so cute.

And like, I've never related to Taylor Swift more than like her drinking Die Coke writing songs.

Like, that's literally me, except I don't write songs.

So, when it comes time every year for the halftime show, show, a lot of people are always like, where's Taylor Swift?

And so for a while, she was contractually not allowed to do it because she was the face of Diet Coke.

But then even years after that, like there is a non-compete.

It has been so long that I actually don't think now the reason why she's never done the Super Bowl halftime show is because of that.

I feel like there's other reasons, but like she literally...

At the start of the 1989 era, like the night before the Super Bowl had like the biggest concert ever, like right outside the stadium.

Like direct TV.

Yeah, or yeah, maybe it was AT ⁇ T, something like that.

Yeah.

So there's always that.

There's always that.

I don't know what the reason is why she's never done it when it seems like a perfect fit.

Like when we're always thinking of people like pink, people who have endless categories of music that people from all different walks of life enjoy, Taylor Schrift is really that bitch.

Like blank space, there's so many songs.

So I don't really even know if they do change sponsors to like

the Morning Toast.

If she would do the Morning Toast halftime show, which sounds so good.

By the way, we should really go.

Sorry to go fun making it.

And it would be the best halftime show.

It would be like we have taste.

Like, it would be like Kelly Clarkson opens a show, Pink shows up, maybe Beyonce shows up, and then like Taylor Shrift closes it out.

Like, it would be, we would literally, you know, what we would do?

We would recreate that Pepsi commercial with Pink, Beyonce, and who was the third one?

Christy Naguila.

Yes.

Was it?

I think so.

I feel like I remember.

Oh, Brittany Spears.

Sorry.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's what I would do.

And I would have everyone in the stadium be a part of it.

Because you know how in the commercial, they're all like, like, yeah.

I would make everyone do that.

By the way, they should free idea.

Free idea.

No, I.

Pepsi buys it again.

That's what they should do.

I look forward to seeing who comes in, what they do with the space.

I wonder if they have influence over the performers.

I imagine they do.

Or they at least have to approve it.

Yeah, I imagine that they do.

So I think, you know, this could be a big opportunity for someone.

But it's also possible that Pepsi will just buy it again.

If they were happy with their investment.

I mean, honestly, for me, I actually love Diet Pepsi, but I understand, you know, the landscape that is the soda industry.

Like, Pepsi is so, like, lame compared to Coke.

Like, sorry.

But I actually think Pepsi having this halftime show is like the coolest thing about the brand.

Like, they should really keep it.

Yeah.

They're always losing to Coke.

I don't know, but you're saying they're still, they've been, they've had this spot for now 10 years after this year, and like, they're still losers.

It didn't work.

Okay, hear me.

Sorry, I would like to offer a different perspective.

I'm glad you brought that up.

I think they were way losery before the halftime show, and now they're like, they compete.

The The thing is you'll never be better than Coke, so you just got to be different.

And the halftime show I really believe set them apart.

It was like such a big deal.

Yeah.

I could I would be down to see someone else come you know.

Like who has that much money?

I don't know maybe like a tech company.

Oh, please no.

The Uber halftime show.

Enough.

Honestly, you know what it's going to be?

Like the Facebook halftime show.

That's that's like the only company that has any money because they're like, I don't know, like stealing all our data and shit.

Yeah, and selling it.

Yeah.

It's literally going to be the Facebook halftime show.

Mark my words.

Because you know that.

That sounds fucking miserable.

I actually wouldn't watch, like, even if Taylor Swift, like, in my soul, I couldn't do it.

No, me neither.

Okay, we'll keep you posted.

This is some interesting news.

Shaking it up.

What if it was like the Netflix halftime show?

Even though that wouldn't make any sense because it's just like a streaming service.

Yes.

Yes.

Cable.

They wouldn't do it.

Yeah.

No, I think it's going to be like a...

I think it'll be a tangible brand.

Probably not a tech brand because like the tech companies, they don't need this

platform.

And like the Super Bowl is so honestly, you know what would be a good one?

Like Doritos.

So that would be like Frito Lay.

Yeah, it is owned by Pepsi.

Yeah.

Pepsi.

Literally.

Frito-Lay is Pepsi, so it would be the same.

Yeah.

But like who kills it at the Super Bowl with their commercials?

Doritos is always really good.

Yeah.

But they should stick to that.

Yeah.

Oh my God.

My fingers are unbelievably swollen.

Are you okay?

Am I going?

Like, look, I almost had to get my rings off.

Should I put them back on?

No.

Yeah.

Let it breathe.

What about these?

Oh, my God.

What is going on?

Do you have a lot of salt?

I did have like a whole pizza for dinner last night, but that's not salty.

That's not salty.

Okay.

Are you ready for our next story?

Yeah, I'm just like concerned, but it'll be okay.

Some exciting Hallmark news that I think you're reading.

EHN, finally.

EHN, you know, tis the season.

Desperate Housewives alums Terry Hatcher and James Denton, aka Mike Delfino and Susan Meyer are reuniting in Hallmark Channel movie A Kiss Before Christmas.

Oh, that's cute.

That's so cute.

It will be a Desperate Housewives reunion on the Hallmark Channel.

Two former stars of the ABC drama will headline A Kiss Before Christmas, a holiday movie that will premiere during the Cable Channel's annual Countdown to Christmas programming event.

It's the first time the pairs work together since Desperate Housewives ended in 2012.

As you know, their characters had an on-again, off-again relationship during the series.

So Mike Delfino, aka the man, has actually been in quite a few.

I've seen him in like a lot of these like...

He's so hallmarky.

Hallmarky movies.

I

do not hold a place in my heart for Terry Hatcher.

But that's just because of Susan.

No, it's also because of Terry.

The beef.

She like started all the beef on the set.

And I think part of the reason why they like ended it maybe sooner than it would have was because of her.

Like no one could get along with her.

Yeah, it was like a toxic workplace.

Due large in part to Terry.

Allegedly.

Allegedly.

You sound like Erica Jane.

I know, but it's such a great word.

It just gets you off the fucking hook.

Allegedly it does.

The movie,

a real estate development executive, Mike Calfino, is married for a moment.

Obviously, why would the woman in a Hallmark movie be the real estate executive?

Yeah, I'm trying to see what her backstory is, but she's just the key to him being able to reclaim his.

Oh, right.

Yeah.

So fucking twist it.

Anyways, he's a real estate development executive and he's married father with two teens.

On Christmas Eve, he is disappointed to learn he's losing out on a promotion and laments that his nice guy way of doing business has held him back his career.

So he's a failed real estate mogul.

Thanks to some Christmas magic, Ethan's casual wish that his life had taken a different course becomes reality.

He wakes up the next morning and is shocked to find everything is different.

He isn't married to Joyce, Terry Hatcher.

He doesn't have two teenage kids, and he's CEO of his company.

So it's, you know, a real, a real choice.

What would you rather, the love or the success?

Joyce is the key to Ethan being able to reclaim his original life and the family he loves.

They're always asking the tough questions at Hallmark.

They are.

They are.

And it's good to see he'll probably make the choice of family.

I mean, I assume it's on the Hallmark channel.

I have to say, like, you know,

364 days a year, like, I'm a card-carrying feminist.

Like, equality for all.

I don't know.

When those Hallmark movies start to play, I'm like, you in the kitchen.

Man, back to work.

Like, I don't know.

There's something about like the traditional.

I'm like, yeah, make that pie, bitch.

Make it.

Get the tree while your husband works.

Your husband gets the tree.

You pick it out.

No, you know what I mean.

Like, I become so, like,

traditional.

Yeah, you're just a traditional girly.

But don't at me because the other days of the year, like,

women in the boardroom.

Uh-huh.

But, hallmark, women in the bedroom.

That's hysterical.

Anyway, so that's really exciting.

I love when people who have acted together, like, act together again.

I always hope that it'll be, you know, in some way like a sequel.

Like, maybe

James was a plumber.

Ethan, sorry.

Yeah, well, I don't want to spoil anything, but it's not possible.

What do you mean?

That this would be a sequel.

Oh, someone goes.

Do you know what I'm saying?

I don't want to spoil.

Because if you haven't watched Jesper at Housewives, you're cheating yourself out of one of the life's greatest luxuries.

Like, one of the greatest pleasures.

So I'm not going to spoil anything, even though I feel like I already did.

I don't even know what you're talking about.

Okay, so I'll tell you later.

But treat yourself.

It's on Netflix or Hulu.

It's on there.

Yeah, it's amazing.

Amazing stuff.

I think it's on Hulu.

Okay, are we ready for our fifth and final story?

Allow me just to move my microphone back slightly.

It's really like someone said this in one of the comments.

It's from Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen when the nutty drama teacher is like,

press your bars.

Yeah, that's how we feel before we sing.

One, two, three.

It's the final story.

Theo's like, you woke me for that.

Good morning, Theo.

It's your mother.

He's like going through this like

teenage like angsty phase.

Yeah.

At least in his rebellion, he's going to his auntie.

He's not going to, you know,

turning to drugs.

Turning to drugs, hanging out with bad kids, bad influences.

Like Bruno.

Don't bring Bruno into this.

Bruce, precious.

No, like Magnolia.

Yeah, she's trouble.

Magnolia grew up on the wrong side of the tracks.

Magnolia just, she just has that spirit in her that you can't break.

Can I tell you something?

So I went to an event last night for Simon.

And Magnolia was there.

I wish.

No, so I went to an event for my friend Simon and Phil.

They started a candle company.

And by the way, I took home two gift bags.

You will love the candles.

Actually, Ben took home two.

And you know what Ben did, by the way?

He literally walked into the bedroom.

He's like, I love this candle, lit it and left.

Like, the first rule of candle etiquette, you can't just leave a candle.

Like, you have to watch it.

Like, well, you were in there?

No.

Like, you just left it.

Whatever.

That's not what I was saying.

So, you know, it was like this, you know, event, like, there were influencers there, and they're like, all these, like, influencers.

And they were like, oh my God, we're obsessed with Margo.

Like, we saw her last weekend.

Like, I literally became Margo's sister.

Like, I think I'm so great.

I launched my tour.

I walk into a party.

Like, you're Margo's sister.

I'm like, yeah, who are you?

And they're like, we're best friends with Margo.

We fucking love Margo.

I'm like, yeah, she's the coolest, but like, I'm Claudia.

They're like, yeah, we know.

Like, Margo's the best.

I'm like, yeah, she's fine.

Margo's sister.

What a beautiful thing to be known as.

Yeah.

And then I told Margo, and she was like,

why wasn't I invited to the event?

And I'm like, that's a good question.

I don't know.

Sorry.

Well, everyone was talking about her.

Yeah, it's better to be missed, you know?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, our fifth and final story is like a little interesting tech health news.

Apple is studying the potential of AirPods as a health device.

So this is pretty interesting.

It's like take your pulse.

Seems to make sense to do a lot of things.

Apple Inc.

is studying ways to make AirPods into a health device, including for enhancing hearing, like a hearing aid, reading body temperature, you know how you do a thermometer in your ear, and monitoring your posture, according to documents reviewed by the Wall Street Journal and people familiar with the plans.

The plans further demonstrate Apple's ambition to add health and wellness features to devices beyond the Apple Watch, where most of the company's health functions exist today.

Apple is also working on technology that aims to use iPhones to help diagnose depression and cognitive decline.

Well, the iPhones are causing depression and cognitive decline.

It seems a little twisted.

But the earpod thing is actually really smart.

First of all, it should totally be a hearing aid.

Yeah.

To amplify the sounds around you if need be.

Right.

And then it's like, you know, if you're a person who needs a hearing aid, everyone's just wearing earpods.

You're just like everyone else.

Like it's normalizing hearing devices.

Yeah.

And the temperature is a no-brainer.

A no-brainer.

Love this.

Yeah.

Isn't that pretty cool?

I mean, already, I'm pretty sure that if you wear your AirPods

while you're working out, because when I used to run on the treadmill all the time, like if I wore my AirPods, it would count towards my steps in my health app.

Oh, so they're like feeling it already.

I think so.

And if they're not, they should be.

And so other things like that, you know, pulse, whatnot, I think it would be great to use those as a health device.

Totally.

Do you think they know how to take your pulse?

Um, yeah, well,

when I was at my retreat, we would have to take our pulse while we were working out to make sure we were hitting our goals.

Like, I'm literally a vampire.

I swear to God, I don't have a pulse.

Like, I've never felt it in my life.

Oh, but I was like, thinking, I was like, I'm gonna feel it.

I was like, why did I never do it?

Because on all the workout machines, you can just put your hands on the metal and they'll give you your pulse and they'll give you your heart rate.

Is that your pulse?

Unclear.

Unclear.

No, actually, but this is just a really pertinent story to me because I was on the Apple website literally yesterday.

I have AirPods in my cart because I need new AirPods because when we podcast, they die.

We can't do more than 55 minutes because they die.

No, they released like the version two of the AirPods, so all of a sudden everybody's version ones went beep beep.

Yeah.

So I was about to buy new AirPods.

I still think that I should because this seems like it'll take a while.

It's just kind of an ideation phase, but I just want to let you guys know that they're working on technology that might actually be beneficial to our lives.

And that's exciting news.

You don't really hear very often.

No, that's fabulous news.

I love that.

Okay, well, let's dive into the TV recap because part one of The Real House Wise of Beverly Hills four-part reunion started last night and it was very good.

And you know what?

Seeing the ladies up close and personal really kind of highlighted for me how close they were sitting together.

if that was me, like I could never.

It's really hard to know where to start when you are embarking on a fitness journey.

And Noom has all of the tools, like educational tools and also the

tools to help you track everything that you're doing.

It's a wonderful resource and platform.

All right, let's dive in.

So we got part one.

Everyone was there.

Kathy joined us for the part one.

So do you think she's there for all four now?

No.

Still no.

No.

I think she'll be on for next and I she'll probably leave eventually.

I actually cackled when Andy asked her if she knew where she was.

I know.

I was like, I didn't think it looked that similar.

Not at all.

Does she have a million statues like that?

No, and they can't.

And they showed them.

So it's a brick.

I didn't understand it at all.

Yeah.

So part one, we didn't really tackle, obviously, like the big major stuff.

They did give us like bits and pieces of the the Erica stuff, but it was really like Garcelle versus the world.

Yeah, and I feel very torn on the Garcelle thing.

Let me say why.

Because like I thought, I don't ever want to side with Lisa Reyna and I think Lisa Reyna was just siding with Darit because she just like fucking hates Garcelle.

But when it comes to the Erica stuff, I think Garcelle is like so on the money.

Like I really like side with her completely.

But when it comes to her being a housewife, I did think Darit was making some like decent points.

Like she is very jab, jab, jab, especially in her confessionals.

And yes, everyone is, but Garcelle does it the most and I think the worst.

And then like really says nothing to the women face to face.

And that must be frustrating to like really feel like you're hanging out with someone and you know like zero about what they're thinking.

Yeah.

So I didn't feel like it was fair for Rina and Dorit to keep ganging up on

Garcelle, especially when like, first of all, it's between Garcelle and Darit.

Like, I need Rina to shut up.

Like,

but Dorit like was making some decent points about like Garcelle as a friend.

I hear that.

I do.

I think that, and also Garcelle is a housewife.

Like, I think Dorit had said that she was checked out and Garcelle was like, I I always show up.

And I think it, but it's like a chicken and egg situation because I feel like Dorit feels like Garcelle isn't involved in the group, but Garcelle feels like she's not in the inner circle.

So which is true.

So if, right, which is true, because there is this fab five without Teddy there, it's four.

And they are real friends.

And so when they're doing the show, they're very invested in it because these are their friends.

These are their lives.

For Garcel, it's more so like, these are my coworkers and I'm not going to give them every piece of myself.

That's very true.

And because like those relationships, like they need to be earned.

So I feel like what Darit's feeling is is true.

But what Garcelle's feeling is true.

You don't just like get my love and friendship when you guys kind of keep me at an arm's length.

That's so fucking true.

Like that five, fab five is so toxic.

And the thing is, these things just take time, but like no one's giving it any time.

And yes, it must be frustrating.

The reason why I don't have an issue with the fact that Garcelle, you know, is shady in her confessionals is because she's saying what everyone's thinking.

Yeah.

So, you know, because it's facts, I'm like, well, where's the lie?

And you know what really bothered me in the conversation with Rina and Garcel amongst a million things was like Rinna was just so annoyed that like Denise kept getting brought up.

And then she kept asking Garcel, like, what is it about me that you don't like?

Like, what is it that we can't get past?

And she doesn't want Garcel to keep bringing up the Denise thing, but of course it's the Denise thing.

Look what you did to your friend of 20 years on a public.

Why the fuck would I be friends with you?

We've been friends for just as long and obviously means nothing to you.

Right.

So like the the fact that Rina like kind of cornered Garcel into not bringing it up, like, get over it already.

It was a year ago, so then Garcel didn't say anything, but at the end of the day, of course, it's about Denise.

Yeah, no, and I think you know, it's not like she's upset on Denise's behalf waiting for an apology, but it is like this is how you treat your lifelong friends in fit, and you discard them, you know, at embarrass them, embarrass them in order to, you know, be closer with these women or for the show, or just to like

for the political world of real housewives.

and who wants to be collateral damage in that i i mean this the issue between the two of them is that they really don't like each other as people and so when rinna came over to garcel was like i love you and it's like but you don't but you don't like you don't even like her and then we were talking last night on face time so i just wanted to remember to say this again because i said this to you which was that so garcel say at the beginning of the season garcel and rena had a detente and it's like i'm open to moving forward let's see if we can get there which i think is a very fair place to start and then throughout the season, Garcel felt like Rinna didn't have her back.

And then Rina says, it's because I didn't agree with you.

So Rinna never agrees with what Garcel is thinking or feeling.

When you are friends with someone, yes, of course, sometimes you don't agree with them.

You call them out, sure.

But generally speaking, you agree with their basic premise.

And their line of thinking.

Right.

So the fact that in every argument that Garcel was in the season, and there were many, Rina never thought Garcel was right.

You clearly don't agree with, you're fundamentally like not aligned as friends.

Yeah.

You know what what else I really liked about last night's episode was kind of just pointing out how there's so many double standards in the group.

Like literally nobody comes after Erica.

Like if anyone else spoke to Sutton the way that Erica was like threatening her like or what?

Everyone would be shocked.

And it's like Erica just gets this pass and it's like so unfair.

Yeah.

Poor Sutton.

Yeah.

Well, I'm sure we will get to all of that.

Also, Sutton's boyfriend broke up with her.

That was really sad.

And valid.

But she has a really great outlook about it.

She looked great too.

Yeah.

No, she's Sutton's a cutie.

Like, she's quirky.

She's misunderstood for sure.

She's misunderstood.

She's emotional, but she really owns it all.

And I think that she's a really good friend to everyone.

And I feel like, and I said this when Crystal was fighting with her in the beginning of the season, like, she just takes a minute to figure out.

But I feel like they got there.

I feel like they got there.

They have mutual friends who tell them that they're so similar, like, they would actually love each other.

Like, they're fine.

And I knew that they would be fine.

It's not that deep.

Like, Sutton really doesn't have conflict.

She's a very, like, caring person.

She's just quirky.

She's just weird.

Yeah.

So, like, you get a a weird read on her.

Yeah.

What else happened?

Kathy showed up and was just like giving me life.

I just love her.

Andy did press Erica on a bunch of stuff.

She's coming out like,

I'm innocent.

These women have doubted me and it's unacceptable and I'm here to clear my name.

And on Watch Happens Live, they did a poll like part one, like, do you feel like you're going to feel differently about Erica's situation?

At the end, it was like 80-20, no.

Yeah, I mean, Erica, she's made some decent points, which is that, like, there's no need for her to be fired just yet.

And I think that we said that, like, let the

justice system, like, do its thing.

You are innocent until proven guilty.

And if, if,

I think that that's pretty fair.

It's just very damning.

Yeah, of course.

You know.

And Andy said, like, even by the time we record this till when it airs, like, more stuff is going to come out.

And literally, you saw yesterday, Bravo's been subpoenaed to hand over unaired footage about.

I keep seeing that headline is like new.

I feel like we report, like.

Yeah, it does feel like it's been repetitive.

Yeah.

The other thing I wanted to say was this conversation between Rina and Garcel, like Rina getting up and like hugging her and like literally forcing her, giving her no choice but to say like, okay, is so fraudulent.

Like Rina's just, I'm sorry, she's.

100% my least favorite person on the cast.

And I was like, so into her for so long.

She's so performative, like in everything she does.

Do you think she said that thing about race?

I don't know.

And perhaps she said a version of it.

So it's not exactly what Garcelle said she said.

So that way she could sit there and say, I never said that.

But what Garcell was feeling, what someone relayed to Garcelle isn't untrue either.

Yeah, for sure.

So I'm sure somewhere, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

And on Watch Happens Live, like

Garcelle basically said, like, yeah, we left the reunion fine, but like, I know who Rinna is.

Like, and like, it's almost like they've made no progress.

Like, yeah.

No, it, it,

it is what it is.

Like, I don't expect them to ever move forward because they do have so much history.

And you see the way that Rina blindly supports her friends, Erica.

Like, she doesn't give that to Garcelle.

I mean, that's

a good point.

Her friend of 20 years.

Like, Garcelle knows...

Garcel has eyes.

Like, she can see this.

Like, look what you do for her.

She's not treating me like a friend, yet you want to sit there and come over to my couch and tell me that you love me.

Like, but you don't.

Oh, my God.

That's the best point you've ever fucking made.

Thank you.

Like, how she blindly supports Erica, but then she's like, well, I didn't agree with you in your fight with Dariet about nothing.

About fucking

nonsense.

So you won't back her up, but you'll back your friend up who's like probably guilty of fraud.

Yeah.

Damn.

Okay.

And then when Kathy came, I'm like, why is Kathy like Lurie sitting on Garcell and Kyle's lap?

Like just for Kathy, who's like this regal woman.

Oh, on Wild Chapman's Live, they said there was a question, who do you think is richer?

Kathy or Crystal?

Sutton.

And they were like, Kathy.

Like, Kathy's so rich.

Yeah.

So for her just to be sitting like wedged between like all these housewives, I'm like, that is not right.

It's not right.

Oh, we got a package.

We got a package.

What do we think it is?

It's chocolates.

Oh, wow.

Thank you so much.

Can you just pop it on the table?

Thank you so much.

Lynch.

No, you're good.

I know people didn't like when we opened the package, but that's a package of

from the Lynch Chocolatiers.

That was something in the reviews that they didn't like that we opened a package on the show and that we ordered lunch.

And, you know, if I'm going to concede anything, maybe it was annoying to order lunch on the show, but we only did it so that we would have the stamina to record a Patreon after, anyways.

Claudia is about to open this package from Lynch.

Just be careful with the address, ma'am.

Yes, ma'am.

Okay,

I'm here, and I'm sorry, like I couldn't just let this box

lint chocolatiers.

Wow, this is exciting.

I thought maybe at first it was just someone using a lint box, but I checked the return address.

And it's from the Lynch chocolate.

It's from Belgium.

It's from Belgium.

No, Swiss.

Swiss.

Whatever.

Okay.

This whole big box.

Oh, God.

We have three, six.

Look at this.

Oh, my God.

That's so annoying.

I thought we were going to get like...

Ooh, okay.

Ooh.

First up, again, this is not an ad.

This is the Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffle Bar.

Oh.

Should we try?

Yeah, Mookbong.

No, they hate when we eat on the podcast.

Put it down.

Put it down, Claude.

We'll do this later.

Okay, we're also, the show, we were about to be done.

Double chocolate milk chocolate truffles.

We're about to be done.

Are you telling me to stop?

I'm telling you to stop, I think.

Yeah.

I'm just saying.

You got to be a bitch.

That inside of that box, like, smells like duty.

So, like, I don't know how the chocolate's going to taste, but, like, it smells like the box has been sitting in the cardboard, like, wet.

I feel like I'm about to smoke a cigar.

This smells fine.

This is what people do.

I'm definitely eating this.

This is what people do before they have cigar.

Literally.

Theo, don't eat it.

Okay, well, that was going to be a wrap on Beverly Hills anyway.

Anything else you watch?

I'm still watching Maid.

It's very, it's very, very good, but it's very pit-inducing.

And I'm realizing I'm only going to be watching it while the sun is out.

Oh,

shows like that can

give you trauma.

But it's not even that traumatic or graphic or anything.

It's just like a lot to sit with.

So,

also, thank you to Lint for finally getting Theo back over to Claudia's couch.

Yes.

I love you, my angel.

Everyone, thank you so much for listening.
