Welcome back to the Morning Chest.

Happy Monday.

Don't let the Mondays get you down, you guys.

Rise and grind.

Rise and grind.

It's a very Monday, Monday, Monday.

Ugh.

But I have rose.

I have groaned.

And that's truly all that matters.

Yeah, it's really the first step towards getting through the day.

Yeah.

But you know, we actually have a lot to cover today.

And so for that, I'm excited to get so much off my chest.

Do you ever like have trouble sleeping?

Because you have so much to say the next morning and like you're not going to be able to be at peace until you get things off your chest only when what i have to say is either like addressing something controversial or like i need where i'm about to like have such a hot take that i need to get all my words in order do you have a hot take today no no no no i'm just like we i watched so much content this weekend i literally did not leave my bed um so i just have so many many thoughts to share yeah jackie and i both watched the first episode of the gossip girl reboot we both watched the real housewives of potomac season premiere last night and we're gonna be talking about it in the tv recap because we caught up on long island yes we did you're gonna be you're more caught up than i am so we're just gonna like talk about our initial thoughts and i read it ends with us oh my god you did i did because okay this is a book segment what are your thoughts what were your thoughts you know what i really really liked it like i was ready to be like colleen hoover like you know they're losing their virginities they're 15 but like it wasn't that book that we both read that Margo recommended about like the teenagers losing their virginity finding Carter it's the worst book And it's crazy because I would say maybe, I don't know how many five-star books I have that aren't like celebrity memoirs.

Most of them are by Colleen Hoover.

Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover is also a great one that you might like.

It Ends With Us is premium.

And Margo recommended my first Colleen Hoover book.

What was that one called?

Hopeless.

Hopeless.

Atrocious.

Yeah.

Atrocious.

There was like a nice little twist at the end, but it didn't matter because like what got us there was just so unsettling.

Yeah, I totally agree, but this was not that.

This was very good.

I read it in, you know, less than 24 hours and I really enjoyed it.

I was like, look, when I woke up on Saturday morning, I was like excited to finish it.

Yeah, so I really appreciated your recommendation.

That's my first book I've ever recommended.

And it was nice to just breeze through something,

but it had a lot of heart.

Yes.

And so I really enjoyed it.

And then I went to watching TV like just the rest of the weekend.

My weekend was really sort of,

I mean, not.

Can we talk about the book?

Oh, I mean, what else is there to say?

Okay, so like, there's a few things to say.

One, like, when she actually in the book said, it ends with us, like, did you get chills?

Because I did.

Yes, but I had realized previously what she was meant like I when I first picked up the book I thought it ends with us means like oh we're end game like we it it ends with us and then once I realized she was breaking the cycle of abuse I was like spoiler alert

I was like it ends with them.

I didn't get it until she said

once I realized that that's what it was.

I was like, I wonder if she's going to say the title in the book.

So when it came, I was like, perfect.

Okay.

And also, I really felt like the book was really well done.

Maybe I'm like looking too much into it, but like it was a journey like for me because like you're so shipping her and this first guy and then this like first night happens.

You're like, well, was it an accident?

You feel like you're actually going through the cycle of emotions of like what it's like to be in that situation.

Because I'm like, there's no way.

Like it was definitely an accident.

Like everything's their life is perfect.

Yeah.

So I just loved it.

Like,

she really did a good job.

And I was reading her like author's notes at the end of like what she was.

Like, did you read the author's notes?

No, but Jillian was telling me it's inspired by her mom.

Yeah.

So

she she really did a good job of like trying to get you into that perspective and like have the same thoughts that Lily might have had.

And I'm sure that was like hard to achieve.

But it was really, really well done.

I agree.

That first night I was like, no way.

No, yeah.

Also,

it has been purchased by Hollywood.

Justin Baldoni is involved in the project in some way.

I don't know like if that means it's actually coming, but I have heard and read articles that it is.

Is Theo eating something?

He's eating a bone.

Like the perfect boy that he is.

Who's a perfect man?

So perfect, so wonderful.

I'm so glad you like the book.

Like, that makes me so happy.

Yeah, and so for my next book choice, for my next trick, I don't know what path I'm gonna go down.

You know, I feel like I'm at a crossroads.

I've kind of tied up all these tunnels and now I'm ready for a new tunnel.

So I don't know where I'm gonna go from here.

It'll be interesting.

I heard Girl With No Job, The Crazy Beautiful Life of an Instagram Thirst Monster available on Amazon and all platforms where you can get audio, print, or digital books.

I heard that was a great one.

Yeah.

It has like a lot of reviews on amazon and a lot of them are nice it does i was actually looking at that recently the thing is i've read it three times so um i don't think i'm gonna read it again yeah but i've heard i have heard that the fourth time is like really kind of this transformative experience that is what i've heard okay that's good to know i'm glad you've read it as many times as i have yeah it's so good like on my goodreads it says read three times yes um Okay, well, I'm so glad you liked my recommendation.

Yes, thank you so much.

And then I spent the rest of my weekend watching the show Medici on Netflix.

It's a historical show based in truth, but you know, they have to put their lies in there too, like to make drama, even though it's like such a dramatic period of time and like they're still making shit up.

Like Sully.

Like Sully.

And they're still making shit up.

But even though like Sully, at the end of the day, like wasn't really a story that required a movie.

Yeah, because there was no like adversity or no plot.

Like it was just a true heroic moment.

Yeah.

But then they threw in this whole like conference diagra about this like committee.

I don't know.

Yeah, but all the committee stuff, if you guys are curious, the stuff about in Sully about the committee, like like nobody was pressing Sully about whether he should or shouldn't have landed in the Hudson.

Also, like the way they fetishize the Hudson was like really fucking weird.

Do you think that there is a single soul on this earth who knows more about the Sully movie and the Sully story than you?

It might be Brian Kelly, but I was going to say, I think there has to be because I'm not even like an aviation person.

But I don't know if there's anyone on this earth who like thinks.

Stans Sully?

No, who like Sully, the movie, the man, and the story live rent-free in your mind.

You know?

As they should.

As they should.

It's really a beautiful story except for those pesky birds those were villains totally yeah they should have had like the sky an animated an animated like prequel about the birds and their plan and they like woke up on the wrong side of the bed and like and like what led them to that decision yeah i think that would have been great that would be crazy um

so anyways medici is really good i've just finished season two it's like honestly really stressful and like the medicis were like so powerful but of course the show only like focuses on like their trials and tribulations and never the success which is just bothersome about shows in general like can't we like enjoy the good times too it was i was just like stressed out but then season two ended in a really crazy way so i'm gonna watch season three um it has so many actors from game of thrones in it it was really crazy like richard madden is the star in the first season so handsome and crazily enough he is like in a scene with walter fray and he winds up marrying her daughter's daughter his daughter his daughter right so it's like that's crazy it's really crazy because you know that's why he died.

Spoiler alert.

And then also Ned Stark is in it.

He is, spoiler alert, the villain in a big, major way.

And it's really, it's interesting.

So.

I started Manifest.

I saw your story, but I didn't watch it.

Because I was tapping through to see Ben's reaction about Gossip Girl.

Are you trying to hurt my feelings?

I'm trying to be honest.

I'm trying to keep it real with you.

Okay, well, I start, everyone's talking about the show, right?

So I'm like, me and Ben were looking for something, you know, to start together.

We liked Lost, kind of.

so we were just looking for to go on a journey together and i swear i thought i thought i started watching the wrong show because

this thing that i was watching was actual community theater it was an insult to hallmark like the acting i was shook i'm like i was sure sure that i put on the wrong show so then there was the plane well yeah so then i looked it up it's like the plane the five years like that's not a spoiler it's the no like i've never watched and i know that so i'm like what this cannot be it so i'm like you know let me give give it.

Pilots are always weird.

Let me give it like three episodes.

And it's just getting like worse and worse.

And what's troublesome is that it's actually like a decent premise for a show.

Right.

Adjusting to life when you've been missing for five years, but for you, it only feels like you've been missing for a day.

And I'm just like frustrated that they.

did what they did because it's so bad when it's like a decent premise, even though a lot of it is definitely lifted from lost.

So there's like this number, the number of the plane is following them around.

And like, that's literally what lost was.

Like, whatever.

It's atrocious.

I did stop watching it and went on to other things that we're going to talk about in the TV recap.

We are going to talk about in the TV recap.

Really excited to talk about Gossip Girl, talk about community theater, some of the worst acting I've ever seen.

I can't, I, let's just, I cannot wait to talk about it.

Okay, so do you think that without further ado-to-do-do-do, are you all caught up?

How was your birthday?

Yeah.

Thanks for remembering.

It was great.

You know, I really was not like other girls on my birthday.

Like, I feel like I was so chill.

You know, I just woke up and like me and Ben, I went to return, you know, a couple of the gifts that I had gotten, which were so thoughtful, but just not for me.

I'm so excited to announce that she did not return my gift.

I actually wore it

on Saturday.

I'm obsessed.

I made it.

I'm safe.

Yes.

I did good.

But some of the other gifts, mostly from Ben, one from Margo.

Sorry, Margo.

Signed she returned your gift.

Yeah, so it's just at this point, it's just an exchange of credits, you know?

Yes.

So then we did that.

We had like a lovely lunch.

I went over to Michaela's house.

And then we went to a baseball game, which, like I said, I'm not like other girls spending my day at a baseball game, but it was like so fun.

First of all, like

gorgeous night, you know, like not too hot, not too cold, even though it did start to rain like a little bit at the end, but then we left.

Um, and it was just fabulous.

Like,

I don't know, there was just something about the energy at the Mets game, you know, so much alcohol, so much food.

It was just really fun.

Like, I highly recommend going to a baseball game on your birthday.

It's just like hours of sitting, drinking fun, which is really my personal aesthetic.

Plus, if you like baseball, there's that too.

Oh, yeah, which I do like baseball.

Ben's friend plays on the Mets.

He hit a home run, and it was just like a homer?

It was such a thrill, you know.

Like, Mets fans are nuts, though, like, truly nuts.

It was just thrilling, you know, like I've never been so excited to see a home run before, and it was fun.

And then we watched the fight.

I know you didn't watch, I didn't watch, but we're gonna talk about the fight.

Okay, because I got some thoughts.

Yeah, we have one story about the fight, and then you can share all your fight thoughts.

But those are my birthday thoughts.

It was just like really chill, you know, like not like other girls.

Like, I don't like to make a big deal on my birthday after having two parties.

Yeah, so, so chill.

I really don't like to make it a big deal.

Um, well, we're so glad that you turned 27 in an extremely chill way.

Claude, getting older is only sad if you are living in a state of denial.

Therefore, I am sad.

I'm in denial about a lot of things.

Claude,

I keep calling you Claude.

I don't know.

It's just upsetting.

Like,

like, I'm so far away from high school.

Doesn't that, does that make sense?

Don't be like that.

Like, who wants me in high school?

Look at gossip girl.

No, I know, but, like, I actually had a good time in high school.

And, like, I'm just getting, like, further and further away.

And I'm like, oh my God, I'm like so old.

But you're getting closer.

Like, you should look for, you have to have things to look forward to.

You can't only just like look at the past like aren't you excited to like you know be a lady who lunches one day and like yeah, you know I am I am but also like I think what lies ahead for the future like also gives me anxiety because some people like run into the future like ready to have kids like I'm not yeah, so now I just feel like now with each year that I get closer.

It's like less acceptable for me to say that Okay, that's fair, but you know what?

Normalize doing what feels right for you.

Yeah, no, I'm working on it.

I really am working on the normalization, but it's not easy.

No, no, it's not.

It ain't.

Okay, well, thank you for opening up to us.

Sure, it's my pleasure.

And now I think without further ado to do to do, where are you being here, right, perfect, eating a bone.

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.

No.

Oh, no.

Okay, first story, a little UFC fight news, and then we'll talk about the rest of the fight.

But Addison Ray is responding to backlash over her UFC gig, saying, y'all got me fired.

The influencer said she got fired after sports fans took issue with her recent gig conducting a red carpet interview for UFC and her quip that she, quote, studied broadcast journalism in college for three whole months to prepare for this moment.

Then she tweeted a few hours later, never mind, y'all got me fired.

She covered a preliminary event for Saturday's big UFC 264 where Dustin Poirier, spoiler alert, beat Connor McGregor.

She was conducting the interview with him because they are apparently from the same hometown.

Yes, he's from Louisiana.

But people took issue with her tweet that said, an Instagram post, I study broadcast journalism in college for three whole months to prepare for this moment.

Which was obviously a joke.

I don't think she got fired.

I think like it was.

It was a one-off.

It was a joke.

It was a one-off gig.

Yeah.

But I don't think she was like the next Joe Rogan.

No.

i have a lot of thoughts on this because i feel like we were just talking about this when laverne cox got the job at juliana rancic's job yeah because it really is like this new world we're living in where people with platforms are becoming eligible for jobs that you once had to study for and it's like this new world we're living in and of course like it it's great in some ways but it's difficult for other people trying to break into the business and i really do totally get that um at some point it's just like I don't think this is like a real interviewee type of job.

It's just like a press thing.

I do think them choosing Addison Ray was an interesting choice, like for sports fans, anyways.

But, like, look, it's making news.

People are talking about the fight that probably weren't even talking about it.

So, I don't know.

I think it's fine.

Like, the joke was funny.

It's not the joke was funny, and I think what she was trying to say is actually most people, most celebrities who go on to do like talking head stuff, which there are so many, have no experience in journalism.

They probably didn't study it, right?

But, like, she studied journalism for three months.

It was a joke, haha, lol, like, really not that serious.

Haha, laugh funny.

Ha ha, laugh, funny.

People just will be upset about anything.

Depending on the person.

Like some people can get away with everything, but Addison's one of those people where people are like, really?

No talent.

I'm sorry.

Like a homegirl, say what you want.

There's some talent there.

You have to have some ounce of talent to get from where she was to where she is.

Like in so many different ways, not only to just be like a successful influencer, but to be Addison, right?

Who's actually the creme de la creme of influencing

and finding a mainstream career from it?

100%.

So I don't know.

I just like hate hate these pylons.

And I think that, again, I always just come on here,

always trying to advocate on behalf of the influencer because we're just like constantly getting shit on as like illegitimate business people.

And it's just like annoying, you know?

Yeah.

No, I agree.

If you're bothered by Addison Ray's success, you are.

And it's time you look in the mirror and accept that because she's literally 11 years old and has multi-million dollars.

So I'm upset too.

It's fine.

But like, but it is what it is.

Life isn't fair, you guys.

You know what it is?

Yes.

Yes.

Life isn't fair.

And it's not Addison Ray's job to not take a job so it doesn't upset you.

Life isn't fair.

Right.

And just because you go to school for how many years for something, like, still doesn't mean that you necessarily are going to get that job, especially when there's only a handful of jobs and it's based on like talent, knowledge, and a million other things.

And a million other things, yeah.

No, but like life is just not fair.

It's so true.

And I think we need to remember that more.

More people have forgotten.

No, because I think like our generation.

Life to be fair.

Our generation like expects the world to like cater to them when so, so much of the human experience is getting out and getting upset and getting rejection.

Yeah, and it's like we have forgotten that.

Yeah.

And Addison Ray is here to remind us.

Yes, it's an important lesson.

Yeah, it is.

It really is.

But the fight, by the way, I watched like the last three fights.

Oh, right.

On the card.

So like the third to last one, like the guy got knocked out in a minute and 30 seconds.

Like it was actually sad.

And I was was like, damn, I wanted to see like more fight.

Then the second to last one, they went all five rounds.

And holy shit, I've never been so born in my whole life.

So I'm like, which one do I like better?

Than the Conor McGregor.

So I was like rooting for Conor McGregor because he's like funny and like, he kind of like is like an Instagrammer.

I don't know, like what he does.

Even though the other guy was from America and like I should have been supporting America.

The guy from America.

Were they billing it as like...

Yes, UFC, everyone like holds their flag and their pictures have their flags.

And it's like an international competition.

It's like an international affair.

Yeah.

It's an international lifestyle.

And I can't believe Sonia Morgan wasn't in attendance.

Yeah, okay.

I didn't even know that.

I wish I had watched.

Honestly, I had no clue it was on, like, because Zach was busy.

And so, usually he's like, oh, you got to come see this.

Like, because he'll be like Travis and Courtney, just like stuck each other's tongues at each other.

Right.

So I really watched because it's like a huge stadium, but the seats around the ring are so close to the ring.

So you could see every celebrity.

I saw.

Miles and Kelly Teller.

I saw Machine Gun Me Gun Kelly.

I saw Travis and Courtney.

Jonathan Chaibon.

Like, it was really a a star-studded event.

And that's why I tuned in.

But then that last fight, I have to say, like, I actually have chills coming down my spine.

So here's what happened.

Connor McGregor is just like a shit talker.

Like, he talks shit about everyone.

And he's lost like three fights in a row now.

So it's like, you got to stop talking shit.

So he's losing like really bad.

This guy's just, and UFC is different than like Floyd Mayweather boxing.

Like, there's, it's no holds bar.

You could technically die in the ring.

Like, it's blood.

I just learned that recently: that if you were to kill someone in the ring, it's legal manslaughter it's legal killing no it's crazy and so like people they get bloody there's blood all over the ring it's nuts and so connor mcgregor is getting his ass beat his ear is like falling off he's so bloody he gets back up there's not a lot of time left in this particular round and the other guy portier punches him connor dodges it but loses his footing at the same time and literally snaps his ankle in half.

They kept replaying it in slow motion.

I wanted to vomit.

Oh, he couldn't get up.

You know how at the end, sometimes they call it like if you're not going to finish the whole round, like it's clear that there's a winner.

And like, ethically, the doctors don't want, you know, that person competing anymore.

They stand up and, you know, you do the hand thing.

Yeah.

Connor couldn't even get up for the hand thing.

He literally sat in the corner, like getting his ankle wrapped, like screaming, like, your wife is in my DMs.

Like, he's insane.

But the ankle snapping was so chilling, bone-chilling.

And honestly, shame on you, ESPN.

Played it a thousand times.

I was going to puke.

It was putrid.

He like slipped and it cracked and it was just so disgusting.

But it was a wild ride.

He literally left the arena in a stretcher and was like, oh, fuck you.

Like he was being crazy.

That sounds really entertaining.

It was.

That's really sad that he snapped his ankle.

I hope no one stole his compari on top of it.

I really hope so for him.

Jackie,

you're a conspiracy theorist because you have claimed for years that when we were on Olivia's bachelorette party, literally in the middle of the night, your wrist was in the middle of the night.

My wrist was hurting.

We hadn't gone to bed yet.

You said somebody snapped my wrist and then you couldn't find your chapstick and you said they also stole your Kopari.

And I just want to let you know, you did not sit next to Stanley Tucci on the plane ride home from LA and nobody snapped your wrist or stole your Kropari.

Wow.

See, the memory of you,

you know where the Kopari was found.

In Margo's makeup case.

In your makeup case.

Oh, please.

You know I don't even like the Kopari chapstick.

Yes, you do.

And And I was like, it's too tinted.

Like I, if you don't know, like, you end up looking like dirty.

And here's the thing.

Like, I can give you the benefit of the doubt and say, like, it was probably an accident.

Or you probably dropped it in.

Like, why would it be on me?

I did not steal your Kopari.

I didn't help you.

I'm trying to say, like, I have no, I need help.

I didn't steal your.

I don't think you forgive this.

I didn't steal your Kopari.

And Margo snapped your wrist.

So I'm not crazy.

My Kopari was missing and my wrist was snapped.

So you want to take back what you said?

I don't know.

Why don't you just go over to Floyd Mayweather's house?

Oh, no.

Conor McGregor's house.

You guys can just credit it.

We can talk about it together.

Yeah, he can relate.

Two Irish redheads.

Anyways, thank you for proving my point, though.

No, I did no such thing.

No, you literally.

Nothing of the sort.

You did, so thank you.

It was a great fight.

It was exciting, thrilling.

Celebs were out.

Everyone was in Vegas.

Dave Chappelle was there.

Well, and Joe Rogan is the

man.

He literally was like, he always does, like, you know, he wears the headsets and like.

I mean, he came up from UFC.

Yeah, but I don't know if he always did this.

After each fight, he got in the ring with the winner.

He He saw the pictures.

And he had to get down on the floor to sit next to Conor McGregor and give him an interview.

It was hilarious.

I saw it.

Really funny.

He just loved to see like a small indie podcaster, you know, getting out there and getting opportunities.

We're so happy for him.

So happy for him.

No, that makes sense.

Yeah.

I bet he didn't go to journalism school.

So if you guys are going to be able to do that, so true.

If you want to take that up with him,

I'm sure he'll put you in your mind.

And you know what?

Now that I think about it, in sports a lot, it's like a thing.

Once you graduate from being sports,

doing sports, you become a broadcaster.

Right, like Ben's favorite show, NBA, NTNT, is like half, like, I guess, like traditional journalists and half former basketball players.

Yeah.

That's just like the cycle of life in sports.

And Addison Rae has literally won the championship of TikTok dances, and now she's retiring and doing sports broadcasting.

But also in defense of influencers, a lot of being an influencer is showcasing your personality.

Not for everyone, but for a lot of people.

And Addison Rae, I think, has gotten to where she is, because she's a really good dancer and like all of these things, and she's so cute and whatnot, but because her, like, people like her personality.

And that's what interviewing people is about.

Yeah, and it's like, I just can't explain.

It's not, you know, a Diane Sawyer sit-down interview.

It's like a red carpet.

Like Instagram live, like, it's really not that deep.

It's not that deep.

It's just making a joke.

Like, I

just can't understand everyone who's really so, so upset.

Yeah, and I just like, I hate this world that we're living in.

We're like, someone just can't make a joke.

Someone just can't make a joke.

Like, don't, it's not a big deal.

Yeah.

Okay, well, are you ready for our next story?

It's a little happy couple news.

I like am, but I'm really distracted by, there appears to be something in Theo's coat.

Will you just...

Oh, I saw it this morning.

It looks like not something I want to touch.

Like, it's like grease.

What is it?

Do you know what happened?

I don't know, but it appears to be like...

tacky like tar

or grease or gum i'll get it out after i just thought maybe it was like something i could pull out i when he walked in, I thought it was a twig, and then I quickly realized it wasn't.

Poor angel.

Thank you so much.

Maybe some happy couple news to cheer you up.

Oh, definitely.

Adele shops at Outlet Mall with rumored boyfriend Skepta.

Okay, I'm more interested in the Outlet Mall.

Okay, yes, I know that you are.

Page six is told that shoppers at the Cabazone Outlets, a discount mall just outside San Bernardino, California, were stunned to see the rolling and the deep singer in the discount product store there.

Oh, and by the way, she seems to be dating that rapper she said she wasn't dating.

What's his name?

Skepta.

I don't think I've ever heard of him, and I didn't know that there were any rumors.

There were.

I feel like I remember seeing rumors, but then she also said she was single on SNL.

So people are like, okay, maybe not.

She's living her best life.

As though they were spotted together at the Prada outlet.

I just want to say, like, couldn't be me, you know?

Most profound singer of a generation shopping in a discount store.

Like, that would just not be me.

Like, if I was like a true celebrity with access to true celebrity wealth, like

you could not pull me off of, like, the true Rodeo drive.

Like, I don't know if they're like driving through San Bernardino.

Maybe like this is a renowned outlet store.

You can find things that you wouldn't ordinarily be able to find.

There are renowned outlet stores.

I actually have been to one in Florence, and it was heaven.

And I was like, having the time of my life.

But I just like, I guess that's just me, you know, like being greedy.

But to me, the real story here is Adele discount shopping.

Yeah, no, I agree.

It's like two big stories put together.

Yeah, yeah.

And I'm happy for her made investments.

I wonder if she got anything.

Anything good?

Yeah.

I'm happy for her in this new relationship.

I'm not going to put all my eggs in a basket.

I know nothing about it.

It's early.

Again, just looking, hopefully he makes her feel a wide range of emotions that inspire ballads, you know?

Of course, we wish for her happiness, but we also wish for a journey to get there so that we can go on that journey with her.

Yes, I agree.

And I think that's important just for like

the world.

Yeah, I also think it's worth mentioning that some of the greatest songwriters of our generation have written their best music like while also in a happy place.

Like I think that's possible.

possible Casey Musgraves like has written some of her best work like in good times and in bad times happy and sad at the same time literally so I'm not worried about Adele's ability to produce I just you know a little heartbreak never hurt the heart songwriting process I agree just emotions period yeah I want all the emotions I want like excessive happiness profound sadness like not that I'm wishing sadness on Adele because she's my girl but like you know Girls go eat we need a new album.

Yeah.

It's been quite a long time.

It has been, but it will be worth the wait.

It always is.

It always is.

I actually remember when that second album came out, 25.

It's crazy.

See, she's only at two, right?

21 and 25?

No.

She's at 19.

She's 23, yeah.

Well, she wasn't really famous when she had 19, but yeah, sure.

That was like the chasing pavements.

Sure, sure, sure.

When 25 came out, it was like now, like a really long time ago,

I got it illegally downloaded.

Somebody sent it around.

Yeah.

I think you got it too.

But I don't know if you can see it.

Not to implicate you in my internet crime.

I don't think I listen to it because even sometimes I get, you know, album samplers from the industry, and I don't like to listen to them before they're out because, like, I feel like I can't enjoy it.

I can't explain it.

Oh, I definitely downloaded the illegal version and listened to it on repeat.

Yeah, no, that's not for me, but I'm not sure.

Which is one of the fun facts about myself is that I had 25 before anyone else did because, like, someone at work when we were interns.

Yeah, shared it with you.

Yeah.

That's pretty cool.

It was exciting.

Exciting excites you.

It does excite me.

Do you want some more happy couple news that is just so cute and sweet?

Sure.

Eddie Murphy's son, Eric, is dating Martin Lawrence's daughter, Jasmine.

Daughter?

That is Lawrence.

Sorry, that's really cute.

Lawrence's daughter.

Okay, that's so cute because you know, like, the kids will be behaving, they will be treating each other right because their parents are involved.

Yeah, and they're like, they'll always make each other laugh, says page six.

Eddie Murphy's son, Eric Murphy, is dating Martin Lawrence's daughter, Jasmine Lawrence.

You know, it's funny.

She revealed their relationship in a sweet Instagram post celebrating his 32nd birthday on Saturday.

Eric Murphy is the name of E from Entourage.

So I just thought that was funny.

Oh, that's hysterical.

No, it's, I'm dying laughing.

It's the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life.

I'm going to write that into my next show.

I know.

It's a joke, people.

This is so cute.

This is so cute and so sweet.

Like, love to see it.

I love just like celebrity kid news.

We should have like a weekly segment, the CKN, because there's nothing I love more than celebrity offspring.

Oh, I completely disagree.

There's actually like, I can't, it depends what the news is, but when it's like two people whose parents are friends and funny and they get together and it's like such a cute relationship, I'm so here for that.

But like generally speaking, I'm not here for celebrity kids news because you're a celebrity kid.

Well, you know what?

I think that actually is a really interesting conversation speaking about Addison Rae.

Like, okay, so everyone's all upset opportunities are going to Addison Ray, even though like she works, you know,

hard to create a platform and she is not undeserving of the role.

Are there other people who are deserving?

Yes.

I think an interesting conversation that we like almost never have is like the celebrity nepotism and the offspring.

Like, she's very talented.

Kaya Gerber, like overnight, becoming the biggest model in the world because her mom is Cindy Crawford.

Yeah.

There's so many examples I can think of of like people directing TV shows or just like acting because they wanted to one day, you know?

Right.

But also like what I see more of just because like this is what we do every day is just like the headlines about like these kids as if they're like celebrities themselves and like we should care that they took a shit.

I don't care.

Like if your parent took a shit, call me.

Yeah, of course.

Like we want the scoop.

But, like, I really don't, just because you're someone's kid, like, I really don't care what you're up to.

No, of course not.

But I do think that, like, see, maybe it's just because I'm an influencer and I'm always like really feeling on the defense about being an influencer.

Like, I really don't understand the backlash that, like, an Addison Ray would get for something like that.

And again, maybe that's just because I'm biased.

But I feel like I actually could understand, like, maybe we reserve some of that, some of that upsetness for, like, celebrity offsprings getting.

things literally out of nowhere just because like they decided to one day.

Right, I agree.

That I could understand.

Right, I could understand that too.

I don't think there's, you know, there's no outrage.

There's not a lot of noise about that.

No, I'm saying, like, there's no outrage on the celebrity nepotism when actually, that seems like a very reasonable thing to be outraged about.

Yeah, I agree.

Yeah, here we are.

I completely agree.

Even though, see, I feel two ways because sometimes I'm like, with the celebrity offsprings, like, they just decide to become successful and they just get it.

It's like kind of not fair.

But also, I do live for it.

Like, some of my favorite people to follow on TikTok are celebrity offsprings.

Not enough people know that Sandy Cohen from

the OC's daughter has a TikTok, and it's pretty much just like her and Sandy.

They're Swifties, like, well, his name is Peter, but it's premium content.

Courtney Cox's daughter has a TikTok.

Laura Dern's daughter has a TikTok.

So many famous people's kids have TikToks, and the parents slide in and out, and it's some of the best contests.

Iris Apatow, amazing TikTok.

Just something worth mentioning.

So I,

yeah.

When I was on TikTok, and I was like, oh, you're like an old person now.

Back when I was on TikTok.

No, but I would see like,

you know, the celebrity kids and then their parents would come in and it's like oh my god yeah no i but i was not here for it oh i love it no i was not here

okay so you know we just have different interests because we are not like other girls and we're so different from one another no we couldn't have had more different life experiences up until this point that led us to have different opinions we actually are really different from each other we know we actually are considering like we're so similar no considering we've lived like the same lives we couldn't be more different like i feel like to the outside eye like we're the same person so similar we talk the same do the same blah blah blah but like once you know us you really see how different we are no no we're so different

And you know what excites me?

Excitement.

And nuts.com.

We are so different.

Okay, our next story.

I'm so sorry to do this to you.

I apologize.

Is this Chloe and Tristan?

Yes.

But is it the comments?

Of course.

And I'm only doing it because, like, really, everyone's talking about it.

And I want to, you know, we have to join the conversation.

And in case you were wondering what loser on loser crime looks like, this is it.

Okay.

So Tristan Thompson seems to threaten Lamar Odom on Chloe Kardashian's Instagram.

The trouble in Paradise started when Odom commented hottie and a string of emojis under a snap of Chloe being a hottie.

And then Tristan took issue with that, writing, quote, God brought you back the first time.

Play if you want.

Different results.

He followed it up with a more restrained heart, heart, drool, drool emoji.

LOL.

Okay, here's the thing.

Neither one, as far as I know, neither one of these men are currently linked to Chloe in a romantic way, which makes this the loseriest thing ever.

It's like, she doesn't want either of you, and you're still fighting over her.

Like, go to sleep, you know, like, just get off your phone.

Yeah.

In terms of the actual fight, I am Team Lamar.

And here's why.

Because it's always nice to be called a hottie.

Like, there's, it doesn't have to be romantic.

And honestly, for Tristan to respond in such a condescending way about like a very traumatic time, a traumatizing event in Lamar's life and in Chloe's life.

And in all of our lives.

Yeah.

I actually am personally offended by that.

And I think, and I know he's made mistakes, but I do think we need to protect Lamar Odom at all costs.

And Tristan Thompson is not doing that.

And therefore, I am Team Lamar.

Okay, and here's, I agree with you.

And I also think, like, when you really think about his comment, like, it's really upsetting.

Like, it's just so wrong.

It's so disrespectful.

Yeah.

Also, like, what are you saying?

Like, are you going to kill him?

No, it's so true.

Like, what is under the surface here?

No, so, like, it's just really a crazy thing to say.

But I don't know.

I'm just, I'm with, like, think about from Chloe's POV.

Like, both of these men she loves so much would have done anything for, like,

really put her eggs in their baskets and they both disrespected her.

They both constantly disappointed her, disrespected her.

She gave them chances.

Nope, nope, nope.

And now, like, you're on Instagram, like, just being so extra and thirsty when it's like you couldn't belly up to the bar.

Fuck off.

Yeah, no, and it's like in a public sphere, you're gonna pretend like to be supportive and defend me when it's not.

I'm allowing that energy to the personal

relationship.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So I'm like, I'm loser.

I'm feeling for her.

Like, don't talk the talk when you couldn't walk the walk.

Oh, my God, that is so true.

For both of them.

Both.

They're both in timeout.

And Tristan Nook, ever since it was announced that they did break up, has been like trying to fight that narrative on Instagram.

And Chloe's like not participating in it.

So I'm led to believe that they are not together.

I honestly think that Chloe needs to restrict Tristan from commenting on her photos.

Block.

And Lamar Tree because it constantly puts her in the news cycle, like attached to him.

I don't think that's what she wants.

You see from the show that like she just wants people to stop talking about them.

Right.

Like he should think he's able to write these comments, but then they actually don't post them.

Restrict.

Restrict.

It's my favorite thing.

She doesn't need to block them because he'll know.

And then he'll start, you know, posting stuff.

Just like, restrict.

Do you know what?

You're right.

Like, every time, like, when that episode happened, where Scott left a weird comment on Chloe's Instagram and it made news, it gave her anxiety because her relationship becomes a part of a narrative now in the media.

And that really bothered her.

And so you're right.

Like, they're actually both doing her a disservice because she doesn't want to be talked about.

100%.

She doesn't want to be talked about with them.

And at one point in her life, she did, and they couldn't hack it.

No, and they embarrassed her, for real.

Multiple times.

She had to get her LO tattoo removed on her finger.

Multiple times.

Do you know how painful that was?

She had Chloe Lamar, the show.

Like, there were so many people who had embarrassed.

She didn't do all of that just to be, you know, commenting on Instagram, fake fighting.

Yeah.

Loser.

Loser.

Talk the talk.

Walk the walk.

So true.

Are we ready for our fifth and final story?

A little space news.

Yes.

Virgin Galactica.

Yeah, you guys.

This was a big weekend for space travel.

For billionaires.

Billionaire Richard Branson soars to space aboard the Virgin Galactic Flight.

British billionaire Richard Branson on Sunday soared more than 50 miles above the New Mexico desert aboard his Virgin Galactic rocket plane and safely returned in the vehicle's first fully crewed test flight to a space, a symbolic milestone for a venture he started 17 years ago.

Yeah, it was really cool, honestly.

Like, I don't really know what the point of the mission was because they just like floated, right?

It's just like recreational space travel.

Right.

Is he back down now?

He's back down.

Yeah, it was just like a quick flight, like, you know, an amusement park.

You know, you go up, you come down.

And I think that's going to become a trend.

Yeah, me too.

We just weren't talking about.

Tarzos, I think, is going today.

Shut up.

Yeah, one day later.

It's today or tomorrow that is his flight.

That's crazy.

And so, like, these billionaires are just like spending money on chilling in space.

Not even chilling, just like seeing it.

Feeling the zero gravity.

And then, well, I saw a video of when they actually got up there and all the people in the spaceship like took off their seatbelts because they were experiencing no gravity and it was like so cool.

And like Richard Branson was making this like weird speech and didn't get out of his seat.

So I wonder if he actually did eventually unbuckle his seatbelt because the content that I saw, he was still sitting.

And like, what's the point in going to space if you're not going to float?

That's so interesting.

He got up there next time.

He has to work his way up.

He got up there and he was like, to all the kids watching.

And it's like, no, no, no.

He was really trying to make it.

Neil Armstrong, like, he paid for this.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

He was really trying to make it like this inspirational historic moment for billionaires.

And like, I don't know, I just wasn't feeling the emotion behind it because it's like,

you didn't like become an astronaut.

You just, By the way, he's incredibly impressive and successful in all the things that he did, but he didn't like, you know, become an astronaut by trade.

Like, he just bought a ticket.

Sort of like Addison Rae.

You're so right.

Yeah, but like, Addison Ray made a joke about herself, like, instead of being like, to all the kids who thought you could never

be a journalist.

So, no, it's true.

I guess.

And also, like.

And you're right.

What he did is not inspirational.

It's just really cool that like it's setting like, and for Jeff Bezos too.

And like eventually like if you have enough money, like you can pay to go to space.

Like that's cool.

That's not inspiring.

And I also want to say in this life, no matter how much money I ever have, you can count on me to stay firmly on the ground.

I have literally no interest.

First of all, imagine how hot it is in that little container and there's fire coming out the back.

Oh my God, I'd be spun my ass.

No, I'm sure they have like crazy AC.

I don't think so at all.

I think so.

I don't think that's a priority.

I think it is.

I think like astronaut, like, well, they're not astronauts again.

Travelers, like

space travelers?

The space travelers, like physical comfort is a priority.

Oh, you think?

Okay.

If they have the spacesuits, like it's, I mean, literally, they're going to the moon.

They can put an AC system.

No, but our studio.

I personally

just like run really warm.

And so I just feel like the standard air conditioning on whatever aircraft I might board would just not be enough for me.

And so for that reason, I would say no.

Also, the seats look very small.

Is there a bathroom?

Can I have a drink or a snack?

Like, I just don't think that space travel is for me.

But that means there's more seats open for other billionaires.

Yeah, that's true.

I don't think space travel is for you either.

You know, Richard Branson's actually like a cool guy, you know?

Yeah.

I feel like he's a lot of people's like idols.

And he's also the first shark to go to space.

And I feel like not enough people are talking about that.

That is, well, first guest shark to go to space.

But when you're a guest shark, you are one of the sharks.

You know, when I was in the British Virgin Islands, which I've always been confused about Virgin Company and then like the British Virgin Islands, because like Richard Branson owns like multiple islands in the British Virgin Islands, like, are they named the British Virgin Islands because of Richard Virgin Branson?

Like, I didn't understand that.

You know, that's a really good question.

And I think there's literally no affiliation whatsoever, but he just, like, he owns multiple islands.

Like, I'm just confused.

It's gotta be.

The Virgin Islands owned by Richard Branson.

But there's also the U.S.

Virgin Islands.

Like, maybe he took Virgin for his brand from the islands?

But then he's also, okay, so I went to Virgin Gorda, which is one of the British Virgin Islands, and I was in a cab, and the guy was telling me about how, like, the island was completely ravaged by a hurricane like years ago and they got like no aid and like literally Richard Ranson paid for all the schools to be rebuilt like he came he rides his bike around the island and like he didn't want any recognition for it like so he really cares about the virgin islands don't you think he would like care because they're like his like I don't get it yeah there has to be a connection it's just I've always wondered unless he's just obsessed with virgins

no I know I'm telling you I there's no there's no correlation but like I've always thought that someone out there knows and you're gonna let us know.

I just feel like there is a correlation.

Now,

he has three islands.

He's got his one,

Necker,

Mosquito.

Yes, I've actually been to Mosquito.

And what was the third one?

Make Peace.

Okay, so he doesn't.

So they're in the British Virgin Islands.

It's very confusing.

That is really confusing.

I'm sorry that we don't have answers for you just yet.

It's disgusting, like the lack of research at this show.

What's the show, isn't it?

Anyways,

would you go to space?

You know, I'm not into heights.

Yeah, why would you test God like that?

So, and I like Earth.

I really do.

I'm happy here for the most part.

So, I don't know.

I don't know what's out there for me.

Yeah, I'm going to say I'm like so happy here on Earth, but I don't think I would be happier in Space.

I don't think I'd be happier on Mars.

It's very hot.

Definitely not.

Maybe Pluto.

We're both like misunderstood.

The moon for sure.

The moon's.

Do you know what year we went to the moon?

In 1969.

Not 1968, but the year after.

Such a good song.

You need a remix.

Informative, too.

So, no, I don't think I'll be going to space anytime soon, but I guess that's like what happens when you've conquered the world.

You literally need to go find a new one.

I just feel like we solve like tons of problems here on Earth that I think we should focus our energy and finances on.

For me personally, like

I'm just not done.

Like, I haven't,

I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of Earth.

Yeah, and don't get me wrong.

Like, I think space research and exploration is such an important part of our existence.

Like, NASA, I just don't think it's on like the private citizen billionaires.

Like, it's our job, like, to figure that out.

Like, leave it.

But no, but then, but then, like, what about Elon Musk?

He works with NASA, correct?

SpaceX does work with NASA, but like, that is a private citizen billionaire, like, really making waves in space travel.

Yeah, I guess what I'm trying to say here is my opinion on certain things just depends on who's involved.

Just depends on who we're talking about.

And as long as I'm open about that, I feel like I can't be really blamed.

I would say Elon Musk is everything's positive.

Jeff Bezos, everything's negative.

Richard Branson, neutral.

No, I agree.

And Richard Branson's also British.

And I think that's important because, like, we have like our own weird things in America, like everyone, like different social issues.

And I don't really feel like that applies in Britain.

Maybe I'm wrong.

No, I mean, people were upset that that's what he used his like billions.

Oh, really?

Yeah, I think it's like that.

I feel like he's also very philanthropic.

But also, like, whenever anything happens, anything, just could be Theo chewing on this bone, like people will be upset about it.

So I don't know how what percentage of people are upset.

Yeah, I guess like when anything happens, you can expect a 15% backlash.

And if it's anything more than that, then it's something to respond to.

I mean, no, I feel like when anything happens, you can expect like even like 0.001% backlash.

But if you want to focus on that, sure.

But it also could be 99%.

So I don't know what percent of his space travel was backlash.

I hadn't seen the backlash, but

I think space exploration is fabulous.

I don't know if I- I was gonna say they didn't explore.

That's what I was gonna say.

I don't know if I would categorize this particular adventure as space exploration.

But again, it's like if I had a billion dollars and I wanted to explore the inside of your butthole, like let me do that, you know?

You don't need a billion to do that.

Yes, I do, because I would have to shrink us all down.

That's how much you would have to pay me to get in there.

Okay, fine, but I would also need the technology to shrink my spaceship and myself down to like literally the size of a

technology for colonoscopies.

So you could actually see inside of my asshole, probably like for free with insurance.

No, but I would want to go in myself as an explorer, like Richard Branson did.

So I think instead of making you smaller, we need to make me bigger.

Oh yeah, we'll give you the biggest asshole this world has ever seen.

How does that sound?

I'm good.

Okay, good.

I'm really good.

So all in all, those were the fast five stories.

Lots of things going on in the world and

the Earth.

No, the solar system.

Yes.

And the orbits.

The planetarium.

Yeah.

All right, let's dive into the TV recap because I have so much to say about Real House Size of Potomac.

All right, let's start with the Railhouses of Potomac because it's just like bursting out of me.

The ladies are back.

Monique is gone.

Unfortunately, Candace is not.

And we have Mia.

And I just have to say,

I think first episodes are usually kind of boring because everyone's just kind of like getting their bearings.

There's very rarely a fight.

There was a fight and it was so layered.

I was shocked.

Here's why.

And you know I don't like Wendy.

Yeah.

That's just a fact.

I just wanted to put that in there.

Please.

What was the fight?

Like what was outbreaking between Giselle and Karen?

And the most shocking thing, Wendy inviting everyone over to her house to basically show off her breasts, talk about her plastic surgery.

Nude interlude and then had a cake with boobs, cupcakes, literally wore a sexy dress, told, made an announcement that was three hours long about my boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, plastic surgery.

I was living for my kids.

I was breastfeeding all day, pumping all day.

Three hours.

What else did you get done?

What else have you had done?

No, like literally, I am all about like whatever you want to get done.

You don't have to tell anyone.

Same.

But if you're going to make me drive two hours to celebrate your new plastic surgery, I want to hear everything you got.

And by the way, no, no, I don't want, I need to.

What are we doing there?

And she's an interlude.

She looks amazing.

Unbelievable.

She definitely got some sort of like tummy tuck because they showed the.

They showed them playing with her stomach.

Yeah.

I think she got some.

She definitely got like fillers and stuff.

I think she also might have found a nose job.

Whatever it is, she's never looked better.

I was literally like going to write down that doctor's name and drive to Baton.

Literally safe.

She looks unbelievable.

And so like, wouldn't you want to share that?

And it's like, all right, I guess you want to maybe say like, all right, I naturally look this way, but then you wouldn't have a whole party about your boobs.

So she was just being really weird and like hypocritical in inviting the women in to talk about plastic surgery and then like not sharing the full story and getting offended when Mia was like, What else have you had done?

And then she's like, Well, what else have you had done?

And Mia's response, and not even, she said, What else have you had done?

Because you look like you've had one.

So rude to a new person who's in your home who's literally just asking a very fair question when you're having a plastic surgery party.

Right.

Such a rude response.

Mia has the best answer.

She just started listing off everything she's ever had done, which is a lot.

She had her clit done.

Like, I just loved her honesty because if you're going to ask a question like that, you have to be prepared to answer it yourself.

Agreed.

I just have to say, so far, I know it's only episode one.

I really like Mia.

I'm sorry I laughed at her tagline.

I take it back.

I'm so glad she's there.

A friend for Karen, like someone.

An ally.

And also, like, she seems like a great woman.

She has her stuff together, sure of herself, confident.

Like, we'd love to see it.

And also, like, we just need more people on Team Karen Ashley.

100%.

And also with interesting backgrounds.

Like, her husband's 30 years older than her.

She has grandkids, but she's 32.

It's just, it's so interesting.

36.

Whatever.

And like people's live life choices, even though they're not my life choices, I find them fascinating.

Yeah.

And I thought a lot of the women were being like a little judgmental, but maybe that was just like the editing because they didn't say anything.

They were just like making faces.

But Giselle's just going to hate anyone who comes in with Karen.

And honestly.

And Giselle like really is rude to everyone who comes in.

Period.

Period.

Literally, the hypocrisy that is Giselle is so frustrating.

She refuses to acknowledge Karen because Karen was talking about Jamal's infidelity at the reunion.

Basically, Giselle feels like that is an affront to her family, to her kids, disrespect.

And while that, that could potentially be true, has Giselle been blind to what she's been doing to every single housewife since Giselle is the bone collector.

She exposes things going on in people's family.

She was the one who brought up the rumors last season that Monique's kid wasn't Chris's dad.

Like, she has literally exposed things going on in people's personal lives, their families, their husbands, their kids.

And now she's a story of the century, and you're mad at someone for bringing it up.

Also,

she brings up like unverified rumors, like conspiracy theories about her castmates because she thinks that that the Jamal story was everywhere.

Like it wasn't just like, oh, I know this.

It's fact.

Yeah.

So for her to be so upset at Karen, like she really can't even see her own self.

And it looks like later in the season she brings up some unverified rumors about Eddie.

And it's just like.

That is you.

What would you, I would want to see the energy Giselle brings to what Giselle and Jamal have going on if it were someone else.

Exactly.

And honestly, I believe it's Wendy who says to Giselle, I'm not sure if it's pointed to Giselle.

You had turned out to be everything and everyone said you were.

And it has to be the Giselle.

100%.

And I just want to let you know, like, that will be the redeeming moment for me and Wendy.

I felt the same way.

Like, I actually

remember, even in just watching that preview, like, it made me like Wendy more in this episode.

Because it's the perfect thing to say.

And, you know, of course, Wendy's new to the group.

She's not going to come in and just like hate Giselle because of what people said about her.

A nice person would give Giselle the benefit of the doubt until they've wronged her.

And it appears that Giselle does.

I hope that's, it has to be pointed towards Giselle.

I agree.

I'm so excited for that.

Giselle and Candace, Candace, like having fruit and mimosas.

Like, I've never seen anything more fake in my life.

Like,

even when Giselle was just like touring her house, just like everything was just like, there's no genuine friendship.

They're like united in hatred against Monique and Karen.

And then they were juxtaposing the scene of Giselle and Candace talking shit about Karen and Ray with Karen and Ray in their home.

And they've literally never looked happier, like laughing so much, just like having such a good time.

And it's like, Giselle is so bitter.

So bitter.

And also, like, she just, you know, what I really don't like, one of my least favorite things when people do, like, in friendships, is

I open up to you about something that's going on in my life, whether it's something I'm vulnerable about, my marriage.

And when we're in a bad place, you throw that back at me.

So last season, Karen was very open about like her and Ray sexually, like, just we're not connecting.

And twice this episode, she's like, your husband dick is broke.

Like, it's so disrespectful to throw the thing that Karen was like open and vulnerable about.

And Giselle's new thing this season, which is just like so corny.

She's like, I'm going to bring out all the truths.

Like she said to Candice, and then like she literally repeated at the table.

And it's like, that's not that strong of a line that, like, you know, it's worth repeating, whatever.

Um, and everything that she's saying are all things that, like, Karen has been pretty open about.

So it's like, what truth did you uncover?

Yeah.

Nothing.

We knew that she was broke.

All right.

I don't know if I knew that she struggled with alcohol, but like, again, that doesn't make you a bad person.

Like when she got drunk last season and told them all these things that she wouldn't have, and then she really stopped drinking.

And then they were like mad at her for not drinking at every occasion.

Like,

there's like, no.

No, there's nothing there.

Being, struggling with alcohol doesn't make you a bad person.

It makes you just human.

Right.

Like something about cheating.

They had already said that about Karen.

Yeah, nothing that she was like, I know.

I'm like, oh, okay, what are you finally going to say?

Apparently, you've been holding, which, by the way, Giselle and Karen have been hating each other for so long.

There's no way that this is her breaking point.

Like, she's had all these things she's been sitting on and protecting Karen from because she has hated Karen for so long.

She would have thrown it, if there was an actual big ass secret, she would have thrown it out there years ago.

She has no self-control when it comes to gossip.

Karen is everything.

She was looking amazing.

I just like, I need this season to provide justice.

And yes, at the end of the day, it is justice for Monique and everything that happened last season, but it's justice team,

Karen, and Ashley.

And Ashley is just so cute and so pregnant.

I know.

I'm like, she was obviously not going to get involved in a lot, but I look forward to when she comes back.

Yeah, with Ashley, especially like with some of the home stuff, it's just like, I don't like Michael and I find their scenes to be like annoying because there's just like always so much drama so it's like he's such a great dad but it's like he was also like running around with strippers when you were pregnant like yeah it's frustrating but there is and I was watching the reunion from last season it aired right before there is something admirable about the way literally Ashley will defend her husband even when he's so guilty you know what I mean like that's a true marriage like

like literally so fiercely believes in him and believes him to be a good person and will literally go down for him.

It's shocking.

Yeah, I think a lot of things, first of all, it's crazy how every season like Michael Darby does something.

It's so fucking crazy.

It's like, how is he going to come back from this?

And then the next season, I'm not going to be able to do it.

It's nothing.

I like forget what happened with him.

He needs to just seriously stay off the show.

No, I know he can't, but I think for Ashley, like, and I feel like she kind of says this at some point, like, she knows what her marriage is.

Like, she is.

in it like for the things that make her happy like she has her kids like i think that they just have a different sort of relationship and she's not trying to make it something that it isn't right and she's happy with that It's like a different approach to marriage a hundred percent.

Yeah, I agree um

I do like like I do wish justice for her as well like I'm hoping and I don't know where the where do are we unique in taking the side of the minority or does everyone feel like Monique was kind of wronged and bravo choosing like Candace and Giselle as like the

like I do does it do people agree with us?

I don't know.

I used to sometimes like look at Twitter after each episode.

I didn't do that last night, so I don't know where people stand

that were unique.

No, people agree with us.

Justice for Moody.

Okay, 50-50.

Yeah, because like I don't know how you could side.

Like Robin Dixon, even though I have to say, I've actually never related more to Robin Dixon when she was talking about how like she just shut the fuck down in COVID.

Like she doesn't get out of bed.

Like I don't even have kids and I did that.

And like I can imagine how overwhelming it must have been.

So I actually found her oddly,

I found myself having empathy for her because that is actually a very real thing.

I felt the exact same thing.

It's a very real thing.

I think later in the season, it becomes more

concerning.

And I think that sometimes that can be a red flag when, like, someone can't get out of bed, doesn't want to get out of bed.

It's no.

It's the first sign of depression.

Yes.

And so,

although we have our heart on her issues with Robin,

I found that to be very relatable as well.

And

in the preview, now I don't know if this actually happens.

They do make it seem like there is a break between Giselle and Robin, which would really throw this entire season through a loop.

I don't know the phrase, through a loop,

do la peep.

Like,

it's a TikTok joke.

Um,

that would be like a groundbreaking shift that would give, I think, like the next couple seasons of Potomac some of their best yet.

I agree.

And also, it looks like in the previews that Mia has issues with Candace.

Yes, which everyone has issues with Candace.

So that was not shocking.

I'm just looking forward to that.

I was really not looking forward to watching last night because I was, I'm just, I'm still upset.

I'm still upset.

And even when they were flashing back to previews, and I remember like, I think it was around Christmas time that those episodes aired and like we watched a reunion together.

And it was just so upsetting.

And like, I really didn't want to watch a show because like the outcome was not one that I thought was fair.

Yeah.

But now I feel excited once more because I do feel like there is a path to justice.

No, I know.

And like we're actually living.

It's a great time of year.

Like, Beverly Hills, and I, I was actually thinking about this last night.

So much has changed in the Bravo universe in these last couple years.

I would say that the best two Real Housewife franchises are Beverly Hills and Potomac.

And they're both on right now.

Yeah.

So it's a good time.

It is a good time.

To be a Bravo fan.

We went through some dark times.

Like, we were watching OC in New York at the same time.

Like, we deserve justice, you know?

Yeah, justice for us.

And Dallas, no offense.

Like,

it's a good time.

Yeah.

And I just, I can't tell you how excited I am for like the next seasons of Real Housewives.

And I actually feel like these have been some of the worst seasons because of like all the COVID stuff.

And like just to like watch these dinner parties with the masks and like I just, I'm so past it.

But also some franchises have deep-rooted casting problems that are not going to be solved because of COVID.

Oh, yes, yes.

But even the best of shows, like it's just like, it's every, obviously everything.

It wasn't great this time.

Everything's being held back because of COVID.

And now like we're living in a post-pandemic world and we're watching pandemic shit.

And like that, I really, it's bothersome.

Yes.

But we're going to push forward yes but I just want to say like it's really annoying a hundred percent especially because like tonight or tomorrow night on Real Houses Beverly Hills like I'm pretty sure they get COVID yes when we were having so much momentum like with Eric so much momentum no it's so true um but Botomic I I agree like I have a lot of high hopes for yes all right let's talk about gossip girl let's first season of the re first episode of the reboot dropped on HBO Max I do want to preface by saying I don't really think I've ever watched a reboot no I feel like we talk about them all the time but I've never like actually done it.

I had seen like a little bit of Fuller House because I was like curious, but that doesn't really count.

Like, so I don't think I generally even like reboots.

I just want to say that because I did not like this, honestly.

I did not like this, but I didn't.

I thought I wasn't going to like it based on just like the previews, but I wound up not liking it just for other reasons, not why I thought I wasn't going to like it.

Let's start with the positives.

Okay.

I do think that

the group of cool kids is cast very well.

I think that that girl Zoya, the younger sister, is like the prettiest girl I've ever seen in my life.

The boys are handsome.

I love that it's a diverse cast.

I actually think they did great on the casting and the social

scene of New York, like Dumbo House is obviously Dumbo Hall.

Then why are these Upper Eastside kids going to Dumbo?

Because

the cool kids are like Brooklyn.

Like that, that actually is.

I guess it also might

be with it is like, I don't know what the Upper East Side high school or 16-year-olds are doing today.

I really don't.

So, I don't know, like, if I think they could be going to Dumbo House for sure.

Okay, like, don't you have to be 21 to be a member?

Like, oh, true, but like, I guess that the vibe is like, they're too rich and powerful.

They don't need IDs.

Like, I guess.

Okay, cool.

I agree.

The casting is on point.

There are some people who are early favorites.

I don't know if I'm going to keep watching, so I don't know if they're like going to be also my last favorites as well.

But the casting was good.

What made the original show, so many thoughts.

Okay.

What made the original show so good were, I think, a number of things.

Like, obviously, the story and whatnot, but the fashion, the music, and the New York elements.

And I feel like this reboot did not have those things.

I feel like the fashion was fine, but they're not setting any new trends.

Some of what they were wearing, it's like no one would fucking wear that.

Yeah.

Like, when Gossip Girl first came out, like, everybody started to dress like that.

And I feel like, like I said, I don't know what 16-year-olds on the Upper East Side are wearing these days, but I do feel like it's more akin to like what we see on TikTok than what we saw on Gossip Girl.

Like those big jeans and yeah and like the dino stompers and like I just I don't feel like they nailed it on the fashion like there are some cute fashion moments

but overall like they don't dress they don't have like a vibe the orange dress was cute but like even that blonde girl what she wore to Dumbo House is literally like what a 40 year old woman would wear to a conference yeah no you're right and it's just like no she's probably 15 in the show like she's not wearing a dress below her knees and pumps yeah no and I guess this is a problem with the original gossip girl too they're juniors in high school and don't get me wrong kids who grew up in the city, go to private school, have enormous wealth, they grow up fast.

Not that fast.

Like, it's not that crazy.

No, but it's a cheap.

But actually, it is.

Like, they go to clubs and they really act like they are 21-year-old adults because they don't dress like that.

No.

So I felt like the fashion, which was like literally probably one of the most important tenets of the original show, was not there, not yet.

Two, the music I did not think was good either.

There was nothing from the show I wanted to Shazam.

Like all the songs were just like so.

Elevator music.

Exactly, Elevator music.

And three, New York, we literally got like nothing.

We got the Mets.

And I know they filmed during COVID, but like I'm sorry, that's not an excuse.

You'd want to bring back an amazing show 20 years later, then maybe you should wait until you can film the city.

I agree.

There was no New York

fabulousness.

None.

Also.

Okay.

Okay.

And then, oh, wait.

Let's talk about the plot.

Should I just say one more thing?

Because Snitch said this, and I actually totally agreed with her.

If this was a show, and I think she probably saw this take on TikTok, if this was a show that was not a reboot and it was just like this show, period, called New York City Prep, whatever, it would be better than the fact that it's a legacy that it would be better than it being a gossip girl reboot because you're always going to compare it to the original and it's just not as good.

And it's not fair.

And it should just be called something else.

Yes, because I do have to say,

one pro is I actually do like how they regard the original gossip girl.

They're like, yeah, Nate Archibald went here.

It's like a funny, unique way, but most kids actually today like don't haven't haven't even seen Gossip Girl.

So like I do think it was a nice homage and a good way of like addressing the elephant in the room.

But

the show completely lost me.

Like when they made the horrendous choice to make those four loser ass teachers gossip girl.

You're telling me, you are going to sit here and tell me in my face that these four grown ass adults went to college, grad school, probably got their master's in education, worked their way up to one of the best private schools in Manhattan just to start a blog.

And

I'm not sure if you're an Instagram account.

That's what they're telling you.

There's no fucking way.

First of all, so inappropriate teacher-like conduct.

Standing outside the window while the girl is changing, taking a picture of her.

Like, are you fucking serious?

It wasn't until I could get behind the teacher element.

Like, the kids make their lives miserable, and like, these are just like some pressed teachers, and they want to get back at them.

But once.

That wasn't even the promise that they wanted to get back.

They wanted to steer them in the righteous direction.

That's not going to do that.

But once the grown man took the peeping Tom photo of Tomasina freshman, I'm going to say 14-year-old in her bra and underwear.

That was where you lost me.

Yeah.

And so I didn't, like, honestly, I think the premise of knowing who Gossip Girl was, like, does add another element.

But, like, the fact that it was the teachers, like, I was like, this show is a joke.

They're not taking the legacy of Gossip Girl seriously.

Like, this is disgusting.

Also, I agree completely.

Agreed.

Nothing more to say about the teachers because I'm just shocking.

It's so upsetting.

What also was awesome.

Sorry, can I say one more thing about the teachers?

Yeah.

Okay, so at the end of the episode, they're like,

they hark back to the first minute when, you know,

Julian, I think her name is, knocks the coffee out of the blonde teachers.

Tavi Gevinson.

Tavi Gevinson.

I sent you that.

Who is that?

She's like a blogger, a kid blogger back in the day, and I thought she looked familiar, but also she like also looks like Scarlett Johansson.

She talks like her.

I never heard of her.

Okay, I sent it to you.

Yeah, I know.

I remember.

She was just like a fashion kid.

Okay, whatever.

So she spills coffee on the teacher in the first episode and is so mean to her.

Well, Julian wasn't so mean to her.

It was the other girls.

Oh, was she?

Right?

Because Julian really wasn't mean to anyone.

Right.

So then I was like, is Julian supposed to be mean?

Because when that scene when she embraced her sister in the bathroom, I was like, so cute.

I couldn't get a read on anything.

The show was very...

What the fuck did she airdrop to everyone at the fashion show?

They never showed us.

Literally, the show had so many continuity issues.

I was like,

what?

It was so, no, it was her plan, and then it was her plan, and then she co-plan.

What the fuck happened?

This was my next comment, which was like the original gossip girl, the scheming was so on point.

And in the first major scheme of the episode, I couldn't even tell you what happened.

What did she airdrop?

I think a picture of Thomas Jordy's penis.

Who?

Max, I think his name is.

But I know him because he's from Descendants.

Whose penis?

Is that her boyfriend?

No,

guy who's doing drugs the whole time.

And having a friend's life with Chuck Bass.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What would that have to do with...

Who used to date Dove Cameron?

He's from Descendants.

Oh, cute.

What would that have to do with the sisters?

Okay, so I guess, like, this is me really trying to, like, play devil's advocate and try and understand what happened.

And how do you know what was a penis shot?

Because she was, like, unbuttoning his pants, styling him for the shot.

I know!

So I think she took a picture of his penis.

I think she airdropped it to everyone in the room.

From Zoya's phone.

From Zoya's phone.

I guess she airdropped it to the security guards, too.

Because they kicked her out for airdropping a picture of a penis.

They never said that you couldn't do that.

So

Julian was supposed to, from her perch on the runway, say leave her.

And the security guards would listen to the model.

Right.

Even though they were escorting her because she broke this penis rule.

So I guess like the scheme was supposed to be like Zoya tried to ruin her sister's moment at the fashion show, but instead got kicked out embarrassingly.

Yeah.

So that's

my biggest issue.

Like, it's the first episode, like, there are schemes of plenty.

Yeah.

And that's what you came up with.

Like, Blair Waldorf is rolling over in her grave.

Also, the script, trash.

One-liners,

the insults in the original gossip girl, like, the Blair-isms, like, iconic.

Nothing.

I needed to see more wealth as well.

Like, we saw the entryway to all of their homes.

Like, show me the house.

Yeah.

Show me the house.

Where do they live?

Uptown, downtown?

Townhouse?

penthouse like there was nothing there was no new york there was no real estate yeah there was nothing also one final thought that i had which i'm just forgetting give me one second

take your time oh fuck i can't remember no you'll remember it was um

the teachers again it was always the teachers i can't remember it was just like i really did want to like it but

maybe it's because covid but it just should have been way better.

It was just really not good for how much time, energy, resources, etc.

Like

every time I watch an Instagram story, the next one is for gossip girl.

Like, it's everywhere, and it's just like not that strong.

And I feel like if you want to bring back an iconic show, it has to be all of those things.

And it really missed the mark on so many.

But I really thought it was going to be like that show because there's been so much marketing for it, like such a big push.

I'm like, oh, this is going to be like the HBO Max thing.

It's going to be huge.

Yeah.

And just like wasn't.

It's already been renewed for season two I'm probably not gonna make it there but that but again maybe I just don't like reboots I don't like reboots I also don't like you know 15 year old drama so I maybe we're just too old for it but I like I don't I don't think it was beloved by by most I was looking on Twitter I was sending me like some of the funny it was so funny to me

because it was just like so outlandish yeah and the teacher was like it's just unacceptable there there could have been a way to get a photo where you weren't taking a picture of an underage girl in her like somebody like a sent it as a tip Somebody sent it as a tip, or like they were just in the window, like talking closely to each other, not taking their clothes off, right?

And so they were leaving Dumbo House, and he lived right around the corner, but they all apparently live on the Upper East Side.

But not him.

Okay.

Yeah, because that Brooklyn Bridge was in the background.

And asked me if I followed anything that was going on with the rest of the group, like the blonde girl and her boyfriend, like thinking about the other guy.

They're both in love with Chuck Bass.

Like, I couldn't remember anyone's name.

I'm sorry.

Is that,

am I following that correctly?

Like, they're like in a loveless relationship because they're both in love with that other guy and they're going to end up having a threesome?

I think that they should be a thruple.

Yeah.

I don't know.

And something's different.

Like, everything was just like so implied.

And we're like, what the fuck are you talking about?

And also, they didn't introduce us to anyone.

Like, we were just supposed to follow along who everyone is, where they're from, what their name is.

Like, I got no introduction to anyone.

Like, we showed the blonde girl fucking her boyfriend.

I'm like, well, are they in a relationship?

Are they having like a secret affair?

They gave us nothing.

There was no narrator.

Yeah.

Well, there was eventually, but it was just not good.

It was not good.

I'm really sorry.

It's a mess.

Yeah.

But there might be potential.

It needs work, though.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They need like new writers and

things.

But also, the original was Holglix was based on the books, which were bestsellers for a reason.

Yeah.

Like, there's just no plot.

There's no more story because the books are over.

Yeah.

It was an easy show to make because it was already written.

Yeah.

And like,

so.

But Cecily von Zigsler is just rolling in it.

I know.

It did make me want to re-watch the original Gossip Girl.

I have not done that.

I did it like, I think in college.

Yeah.

I don't even know if it was over yet.

Definitely not.

But it was just so good.

So maybe I'll do that.

But like, I can't, this is my thing with like watching TV.

Like, I get so sucked in.

Like, last night I was up like way later than I should have been because I needed to finish Medici and like I need to go to the next episode.

And it's like addicting.

Yeah, of course.

And you have to break the cycle.

You do.

So I don't know that I want to get engrossed in another television show.

I won't leave my room for like four days.

That sounds amazing.

No, it's not amazing.

It does not feel good.

It does, no, because this weekend I was so excited because I was like, I'm going to sleep in.

I'm just going to, I haven't had like a weekend like that.

We were supposed to get our Patreon vlog up.

Right.

But then we like didn't have the, we never airdropped it to each other.

That is coming soon.

It's coming today.

I'm really sorry.

We felt really bad about it.

Yeah, it was 100% like our fault.

We were like FaceTiming, both having pits.

Yeah, because I had some of the videos on my phone, Jackie, some of them on her phone.

Like, we can't send them because they're too big, so we have to be together to airdrop them.

We weren't together all weekend.

Like, we're really sorry.

We're just stuck in by my television.

Right.

It's basically the television's haul.

No, it's just, it's really toxic.

Like, sure, there's a lot of entertaining content, but it's really hard to wean yourself off.

Yeah.

And I spent most of the weekend just like watching tv and like i did not feel good i actually felt quite bad i i hear you i can't really relate to that particular sentiment but i i have a lot of empathy for what you're going through no now i i've broken the cycle because i got here too okay that's so good um but i do need to watch the third season of bedici so who knows girls got to do what she's got to do and now that just means we're gonna have a really robust tv recap segment also i don't want to do like a whole love island recap because i want you to catch up but um it was getting a little slow i'm not gonna lie but last night's episode was two hours it was actually pretty good like because there was a recoupling ceremony.

Did things like pop off?

Yes.

So they had a challenge.

Can I tell you what happened?

I don't care.

I'll just, I'll skip the episode.

So the new girl came.

I've watched everything except last night.

New girl came.

And she took out Josh.

She took out Josh.

I saw that.

And it looked like they were hitting it off.

And I was like, then she got two more dates.

And she asked Jeremy out.

And Jeremy was also like having a lot of cold feet expressing to the women.

To the men.

He was saying one thing to the men and Trina was saying something to the other.

Yes.

So like it made Trina look so sad and desperate, but he really did not communicate.

They went on a date and he was like, I'm happy with where we are.

And then he goes home and says, like, I told her.

And she had a completely different experience.

He was gaslighting her for sure.

And she was heartbroken when he ended it with her.

And he ended it with her at the same time he was like starting to buy with Amy and she got a date and she took him.

And Trina, Trina was just like left in the dust.

So in the recoupling ceremony, like she just chose Corey, who like no one has spoken to because she had no one else to talk to.

And she thinks like maybe there could be something there.

She's also like having regrets about Cinco, as she should, because Cinco is the best guy on the show.

I love him.

He's honestly, I was thinking like, if if I was on the show, I would go for Cinco.

He's so sweet.

He's our player.

He chose Cachet and he was like, we really built a friendship.

And like, every night now, they're making out and they're actually really cute.

And like, they had to do this challenge where like they would like do a sexy walk on the beach and then like pick a girl to kiss.

And they had like the cute, he was walking, so cute.

They had the cutest kiss.

Like,

Trina is living a life of regret because Cachet is living the life that she thinks she should have.

And it's really hard for her.

So she just chose Corey in a moment of desperation.

Amy went on the date with Jeremy, really vibed.

And then Amy got another date and chose Will,

the new Colombian guy.

And so he was told Kira, Kira is like so fragile.

She's so fragile.

He told Kira, he was like, I'm going to go.

Like, I want to like, you know, be open.

And she was devastated.

He went on the date.

They like vibed really well.

He came back and he told her like, you know, I'm going to explore it with her and with you, you know, and she was.

Unwell, like so frazzled.

Then like later that night, he just went back and was like, I'm sorry, actually, I changed my mind.

Like, I want to stick with you.

And she was like, happy about it, but like, now, like, a little, you know, on edge.

So, basically, that really left Amy with Jeremy.

I don't know if she would have chosen Will, but Amy and Jeremy were cute, but like, it leaves.

And I was like, I don't know how to feel because I love Trina, I love Jeremy, and I loved them as a couple.

And I don't know if I love Jeremy with this girl.

Like, it's, I don't know if she's the one for him.

Like, I had a lot of like love for him and Trina.

So, in the recoupling ceremony,

Trina chose Corey, that girl, Livia, who's like stuck in a love triangle with two nobodies, chose the one that she was already with, Giovanni.

Okay.

In the challenge.

Oh, okay, wait.

Sorry.

So when they got back from the hot tub date, Amy and Josh, Shannon, I mean, she might have been drunk, but she was just like pissed.

And so she was.

I don't think they can get that drunk.

I don't think they get that much out of it.

I was thinking the same thing.

Because it was CBS, they give you a limited amount.

So she was just being irrational.

She was like, obviously, jealous.

And I thought that actually would have made Josh like happy because he likes her so much more than she likes him.

Yeah.

She's finally showing like she cares.

And he was like, this is a red flag.

Like, you're acting crazy.

So the next morning, morning, she was like, I'm sorry.

I was just like jealous.

I'm really happy with where we are.

And he was like, it's fine.

It was just like a red flag, like a little bit of a turnoff.

But they made up.

Honestly, Shannon deserves that.

Like, she was so rude to him and about him the first night.

I don't know what changed for her, but she did not appreciate him.

And I actually like, don't like her.

Oh, I like her.

But wait, listen.

Then in the challenge, they all do their sexy walks.

He, Josh, does a sexy walk and pulls Amy to kiss.

But he like threw his hat to

Shannon when he was like taking off his sexy outfit.

and so everyone obviously like she like stepped forward for the kiss and he went in for Amy and it was honestly so awkward and she was furious and then it was like girls you're in charge of the recoupling session so he was like off of clamps he made the worst mistake ever it was like the morning of the recoupling matching ceremony and he's dissing the only girl he has a chance with right and she was basically like if you wanted to explore other people like that's sign but like you embarrass me like so hard like everyone was like like feeling bad for me i i hate that you disrespect me in front of front of everyone you obviously just don't have respect for me and you embarrass me.

Like it's not about you kissing Amy.

That's fine.

Like it really is.

It's the way you did it like that really, really hurt my feelings.

So she was basically saying she was going to choose Christian or Giovanni who have like nothing going on right now.

Yeah.

To save because they deserve to be there more than Josh.

And then in the recoupling ceremony, she chose Josh.

Like it was just so stupid.

And then I'm like, okay, girl, I have no respect for you because he was being a fuckboy.

He did disrespect her.

And if you want to have some respect from yourself, send him home.

And then that guy Christian went home, who honestly should have went home because he doesn't have a connection with the plants, let alone another person in the house.

But right, I mean, I don't think it would make sense for Josh to go home.

He seems to be like intentional to the drama.

And maybe Shannon and Josh can get on good footing from here.

I just like really didn't like how she treated him in the first episode, not to like judge her so prematurely.

And maybe I'll feel differently after I watch last.

They're on even, they're even now.

Honestly, Josh is indebted to her, but now it's like she, and when it's the guy's coupling ceremony, she has a lot to worry about because he's a fuckboy and he's obviously not like ride or die for her.

It's that's so weird because everything that I've seen, he's basically

a total shift last night's episode of who he is.

Cinco and Cachet chose each other.

And like when they were like choosing each other in the ceremony, Trina looked like she literally wanted to jump off the cliff.

Like, I actually felt so bad for her because she has exactly what they want.

She's made it very clear now.

Like, she is here for a relationship.

She's talking to Jeremy about doing long distance when they get home on their date.

And he's just not into it at all.

I know.

I saw that.

So it's like.

I feel bad for Trina, but she did put all of her eggs in one basket.

Jeremy did mislead her 100%, but now she's kind of left with nothing.

Damn.

Okay, so maybe I should watch last night's episode.

It was good.

It was so low.

It was pivotal.

It was.

Like it was finally a coupling season.

Like really not a lot happened.

Nothing.

And it really didn't feel like there were strong connections.

You know, they were just sort of like trying to make stuff happen.

I felt like actually Kiera and Will were becoming the strongest.

But the waters were tested this week between Kiera and Will.

The waters are always going to be tested.

And next week, or sorry, tonight, new guys are going to come in.

No, so then...

In the preview, tonight's episode is streaming.

Sorry.

Tonight's episode is streaming on Paramount Plus.

It's like a bonus episode.

I don't don't think we need to watch it no you don't then the new people come on tuesday back on cbs okay and there's gonna be new girls yes there's three new girls and one new guy and a lot of the new girls they said they want to go on a date with sinko

so that's going to be interesting because i really like cachay and him i think like i they've really i didn't think they were a match at first but they've really just like started out as friends and now every night they're just like grabbing each other's asses like it's actually really cute that is really cute and now a lot of the new girls are gonna come for it i'm glad things are picking up just wait i heard that this season they're bringing back Casa Moore.

What's that?

Oh, my God.

It was this thing that happened last season where basically

the

guys leave the house, all the guys, and they go to another house called Casa Moore, where there's five new girls there.

And the girls stay at the house and five new guys come in.

Oh, and so they see if they want to stay in the relationship or pursue anything new with new people.

That's crazy.

And at last season, the strongest couple, Johnny and Selly, Johnny went into Casa Moore and like.

I remember you telling me this, and he ditched his day one girl for some random new girl and just like lost his mind in casa more and then came back and like thought he could like not tell anyone but all the people by the way when new people come on to the show they've been watching everything so all the new people would come on and be like selly you need to ask johnny about casa more and it was just like the craziest thing casa more anyways they're they're doing it again that's good yeah no it was just like really fun it's definitely starting slow and i think that like

it being on for six weeks like it could be on for three and they could just like do more each episode but whatever i'm having fun yeah no and it's nice they really switch up the cast a lot so it's like it's good yes it was really sad can i tell you when i went home yes please christian oh you already said that the guy with the blonde you already said that because he couldn't connect with the plan he couldn't connect with anyone but like he was so sad to be leaving he's like when you guys leave here i want to be the first person you see like it's like he's gonna have so much fomo like not even from being famous around the show because i didn't get that vibe from him just because

he's friends with everyone and he was actually an integral part of this episode he's he's the biggest shit talker because the guys talk and the girls talk and the only way to know about what the guys are talking about is because Christian runs and tells everyone.

Like, he's a sitch.

And you actually need a person like that.

Or else there's no, because he was the one who gave a heads up to Cachet and was like, Jeremy is not into Trina.

Like, you've got to tell your girl.

And Cachet was like giving her a pep talk.

Like, maybe you shouldn't put all your eggs in his basket.

Like, I don't know.

Yeah.

And that wouldn't have happened without the snitch, Christian.

Interesting.

Yeah.

So you're going to need a new person like that.

Okay.

Well, I'm sure they'll make a new person like that.

Like, that's what producers are for.

Yeah.

So that was the longest TV recap segment we've ever had on our show,

and that's it.

Yep, anything else you want to say?

We'll be back tomorrow for another wonderful show.
