Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the morning toast.

That's right.

Yes, that is the show that you're watching.

Don't get it twisted.

You were confused.

This is the morning toast, and it is Thursday.

And it is a very warm Thursday in the city, a very cold Thursday Thursday in our studio.

They're trying to freeze us out.

We're just a couple of working gals.

I know that this is a real issue amongst the corporate steens, and we're just like a couple gals, you know, who can't decide what to wear to work.

And we're just so

like that.

Yeah.

No, it's actually, this isn't normal amount of air conditioning.

Like, I'm going to put the blanket on soon.

I just wanted you guys to see my cute outfit wearing Toastmarch.

It's a Toastmarch kind of day.

You know, I just woke up tired.

Yeah, which is really shocking because I usually wake up so sprightly and fresh and energized, but today was different.

Different.

Well, honestly, I just want to put it out there, like how not mad I am at this current situation.

Like, yes, traveling to work in this big old sweater, not ideal, not gonna lie, but showing up and sitting in this ice box is so heavenly.

Like, if you run warm like I do, like, you know how much you're living for this dilemma.

It's, it's so crazy.

I think it's a conspiracy against us.

Against you, because I'm so pleased.

It's just, it's so cold.

Well,

sorry for you.

I'm loving life.

Usually the show warms us up.

All the hot news and hot takes of the morning toast.

And hot gossip.

Oh, the gossip.

It's so hot.

100%.

Yeah, no, today's gossip is, I would say it's lukewarm.

Definitely some interesting stories that I'm excited to have you yell at me about.

You know, excuse me.

You know, like, you know,

just like get fed up with.

Oh, for sure.

A lot of China ink going on today.

No, no, no.

I did not choose the fact that Kristen commented.

Kristen.

Tristan.

Tristan commented on Chloe's Instagram.

I was this, this, almost this desperate, and I almost chose it, but I just knew you would never forgive me, so I didn't.

Ever.

I'm like two days before my birthday.

I know you wouldn't do that to me.

No, but let's talk about your birthday.

How are you feeling about everything?

I'm feeling good.

Today

is the day of my parte.

So tomorrow's episode will be in studio.

It'll probably just be up like a little bit later, just so some of us can nurse our hangovers.

I'm feeling good.

I'm feeling excited, you know?

Nervous, of course.

There's always a little bit of doubt when you throw a party.

Or maybe there's not and I just have like crippling anxiety, but I'm feeling good.

I'm feeling strong.

I have my glam look picked out.

I've kind of doing something crazy.

You know, my makeup artist Courtney, she knows, like, bring the same tools every time.

Like, we're never changing it up.

And I texted her like an Inspo pick last night and it's like purple, which like I never do.

And she was like shook to her core, but she's so down for the adventure.

I might just scrap it and then go back to the regular thing, but I think I'm going to try something new.

What color is your dress?

Also, a good question.

The reason why Theo is not here today is I have to go buy one.

This was really thrown together last minute, this party.

And actually, nothing brings me more joy than running around a store hot looking for a last minute outfit when nothing fits me.

Like I can't explain how much joy that brings me.

It's such an exciting adventure.

So I'm really looking forward to doing that after this in my sweatshirt.

So you know I'll be even hotter than I need to be.

Yeah, I made it about three minutes and 50 seconds before I had to go for the blanket.

Why don't you wear one of your retrofree dresses?

Just like call it a day, wear the retro feet.

I think we should talk about it.

Okay.

Let's talk about the retro feet.

Okay, everyone knows the retrofree dress, not just from Claudia, but from the whole world.

It's the dress that everybody wears to every party, bachelorette party.

Can I talk about my experience with it?

Sure, sure.

So it was 2019.

The year was 2019.

I think.

What year was I?

2019.

It was when we were so fabulous.

Was it before or after my wedding?

Before.

BW.

So that's 2019.

You got married?

In early 2019.

This was January 2019, yes.

Okay.

So just to paint the picture, like I was the thinnest I'd ever been in like 10 years.

Not that it matters, just interesting for context.

And I, you know, I've never been the type of gal who just like there's like a dress going around.

Every season there's a dress that everyone wears.

And I've just never been the type of gal to purchase it

because that's just not the life that I have led up until that point.

And because you're not like other girls.

100%.

And because usually the other girls are just wearing something that is not trendy.

It's trendy, but also like not friendly towards people who aren't skinny.

Yeah.

Or like with fake titties.

With big titties, 100%.

Fake ones.

So 2014, I'm going to Mexico for my friend Ana's wedding, and she is Ashkenaz, but she was marrying someone.

Um,

he's Yemenite and Moroccan, so they had a henna.

And a henna is like this big thing in certain Middle Eastern cultures, Jewish weddings, and it's like this big party, and you really need to wear like sparkles.

Like, it's like it's not the rule, but it's like unwritten, like, you need a sparkly dress.

So, I had just started shopping at Revolve because they finally let me in.

You know, I had finally lost enough weight to be acceptable to Revolve.

And I had ordered a bunch of stuff, and I got good stuff for the wedding.

and I had bought this like gold sparkly dress for the henna and it was really perfect because it was really flattering.

Like it was like loose.

So it was flattering.

And I was just like excited about it.

I didn't know that I had purchased like the it dress of the moment and I was one of like the first people to wear it.

And honestly, I don't have fashion moments like that.

So I ref, like I regard that moment and that dress like with really high regard.

Okay.

I looked amazing, like unbelievably stunning.

Like the pictures from Anna's Henna, like literally, I go back and look at them all the time.

So then I had this dress and I had worn, I wore it again to a friend's birthday party, Paris Sultan.

I don't know if you guys know her.

And it was like the perfect dress because like no one at Paris Sultan's party was going to be at Anna's wedding.

No one would have seen.

And like it was perfect and it was enough time in between.

And then it was like every time I had like somewhere to go where I needed to look nice, like I had to wear the dress.

And I started wearing it so much.

And then I was like, you know what?

I should really, it is expensive, but I was like, I'm wearing it so much.

Like I shouldn't invest in another color.

100%.

So I did.

Pink.

And where did I wear it?

To the BBMAs when we were escorted off the red carpet because we didn't have the proper wristbands.

Yes.

And I looked amazing.

And then I wore the the pink one again to another event.

And I was like, as of like a month ago, I'm like, I think I need a third one.

Yep.

I bought a third one in purple.

Where did I wear it?

To a hotel opening in Las Vegas with my good friend Paris.

I'm not sure if you guys know her.

And it looked unbelievable.

And I've gained like a lot of weight since that first initial dress, but the size still fits me.

And I still look amazing in it.

Like, I looked a little bit better in it when I was like skinnier, but whatever.

Like, the dress still fits.

So now I'm like at this point in my life where are people noticing that I'm wearing the same dress to every event?

No, they're not.

And I'll tell you why.

First of all, you don't post pictures when you walk out.

Like you story, but you don't like do outfit of the night pictures on your whole Instagram isn't like every single time you wore that dress.

I mean, I sorry, I forgot one more event I wore the gold one to when we were in LA and we went to that fabulous fundraiser for breast cancer research and the Jonas brothers played and like we were looking so fabulous, so sickening.

Literally the day COVID started had like just hit the scene.

Yeah, but we still got in that last party.

So that's another one.

Okay, no, I hear you.

And no, they have no idea.

They really have no idea.

And if I were you, I would go online right now and get the dress in every color that they still make it in.

Yeah.

And then that's just your dress.

Also, you're always like in situations where you're with different groups of people.

And again, you don't post outfit looks on your Instagram.

So your whole feed isn't just like what you wore.

And it turns out it was the same thing every time.

And if it looks good on you, you get one in every color.

Like that's just the rule.

Do you think us currently shedding light on it is working against me?

Well, yes, because now everyone's onto you, you, but I don't know.

I'm going to start the episode.

No, I feel like you needed some transparency because you were feeling weird about it.

And now that it's out there, like everyone can be in on it.

And like every time you wear it, everyone will be like, it's a dress.

Also wore to Ben's birthday party.

It's all coming back to me.

Ben's like 26th birthday party a few years ago.

It's the best thing.

It's the Tiffany Haddish dress.

Yes, except like Tiffany Haddish has one dress and I have like three now.

Yeah, but also like hers was much more expensive.

So it's actually all adds up.

Yeah, so I'm still going to go look for an outfit.

If I don't find anything, it's so nice to know that I have those three retrophyte dresses and I take really good care of them, that they're in a safe space, and if I need them, that they are totally there for me.

But I should try and like switch it up, you know?

I think if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I just feel like I literally wore it two weeks ago.

Like I have to start with it.

With no one who is going to your party.

That's true as well.

That is definitely not untrue.

So that's the truth.

I'm still going to hit on

one store.

Okay, waste your time, sure.

I won't stop you.

Do you want to come with me?

No, I actually thought about it, but I think I'm just going to, you know, rummage through my closet and find something.

Yeah.

Pray for me.

I will.

It's so rough.

It is so rough.

It's like I have plans to spend my whole day like glamming up.

I'm going to do my own hair and makeup, but like put in rollers and everything.

And just knowing what I'll probably wind up looking like, it just makes me sad.

That happens to me all the time.

Like whenever I go out, I have so much fun doing my hair and makeup.

I'm listening to music.

Sometimes I go live on Instagram, but I'm just like feeling myself.

I experiment.

And then when the time comes to put on clothes, I actually might as well be going to the gym.

No, and then I wear like the same bodysuit and jeans and like that's it.

And it's like not special.

And I was like, what did I do all of this for?

for it's so demoralizing it's so demoralizing there's a taylor swift lyric that i've actually never related to more i dress to kill my time

like you know when you're like it's a saturday you're so worried you just start doing your makeup four hours early yeah that's me yeah but no but still no matter how like snatched the face is like i really should pick out my outfit like way before i get ready that way it doesn't all collapse yeah but sometimes what happens is like you have you think you're like so good you have an outfit picked out so you time everything perfectly and then it's like 15 minutes before you're supposed to leave the house you put your clothes on and it's like disgusting no of course and you're you're a slob i have a dress in mind that i want to wear that like

just the last time i wore it i was just a different girl and like i don't even want to see what it's going to look like but i don't know why i think that that's what i'm going to wear well maybe you should get a retrofeet dress because honestly i'm i've been eight different girls since i first bought that dress over two no over

over two years ago yeah and

It constantly just like brings me back to my center.

Maybe I should.

You should get one.

You would look so good in it.

And they have one.

Well, they make two styles.

One that's a boneck, which is great for big-titted broads like us, and one that's like so sickening and probably cuter.

That's like a wrap V-neck kind of.

Oh, I don't fuck.

You can't wear V-necks.

No, no, no.

That's fine by me.

Boneck.

Boat.

I love a bone neck.

I ship.

Ship.

So that's the long-winded discussion on what we are wearing tonight.

Okay, but I'm really excited for your party.

And

to kick off your birthday celebrations.

Yeah, but you know, I'm just chill about my birthday, you know?

Yes, so chill.

So it's just a three-day celebration.

So chill.

For like a what number?

It's significant.

Here's why.

I know it just seems like I'm only turning 27.

Like, what's special about 27?

I am now.

Wait, is this all right?

No, it's not.

Am I closer to 30 than I am to 25?

When I'm 27?

No.

No, when you're 27 and a half in one day.

Okay, so this is kind of like the last birthday where I can say I'm equidistant to 25 and 30.

And that's why it's an important birthday.

Okay.

Whatever you need to tell yourself.

Thank you.

So yeah, other than that, great show.

I guess we should get it moving so you can go shopping fruitlessly.

Don't worry, I'm in absolutely no rush to go try on dresses.

Like, I think that if you

could dream up the worst day, like, if you were my enemy and you had to schedule a day for me, the whole day would be spent trying on dresses that don't fit in a really hot dressing room when I haven't eaten all day.

Like, that is my personal hell.

And that's why I say yes to the dress was such a terrible experience for me.

Totally, but you're subjecting yourself to that, even though you have the right dress sitting in your closet.

And that's on you.

100%.

Well, we have a great show for you guys today.

Yeah, we do.

Because not only do we have like a pretty decent mixed bag of fast five stories, we also have a mixed bag.

It's what?

Mixed bag.

Mixed bag, yeah.

We also have a juicy TV recap because Real House was at Beverly Hills was on last night.

And even though, like, not that much happened, I have so much to say.

And two, Love Island started last night.

I've never watched it before.

Jackie's always the one giving recaps.

And I watch it and I feel like such a part of a community.

And I'm so- You're really a part of something with Love Island because it's five nights a week.

and that's what i crave but did she say six weeks

six weeks it goes on for six weeks yeah i guess so she did say that she said that she did and i'm like is it six weeks your time or like does it air six weeks but then i realized it's all in real time like what we watched last night like it like filmed two or three days ago yeah so um

i don't know if i'm gonna make it all the way just because like i'm really not good with like committing to things but i'm really gonna try yeah whatever whatever works for you especially like it's a hot girl summer i don't know if i'm gonna be home every night watching love island Island.

No, but like it's nice to have content waiting for you and to be a part of something.

And I really am excited for you to have that feeling.

And I'm excited to recap it in the TV recap segment.

Can't wait.

Okay, so I guess without further ado, to do, where are you?

Not here, but it's fine because it's way too cold.

Here are the fast-time stories that you probably could stand to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

Oh.

Shit.

Sorry, it's just my RTH flaring up.

That was good acting.

Did I get anyone?

Yeah, it did.

I did.

Yeah.

It looked like you were like making duty.

No, I was, I don't know what I was like pointing at, but I think I was like, I really laid the groundwork.

Like I started like a thing like 45 seconds ago.

Oh my god.

Okay.

Was the camera on me?

I think it was everybody with a bus.

Yeah, yeah.

Today's episode is brought to you by Olive and June, and my RTH is cured by telling you that.

You cannot possibly do your nails yourself, and it's time that you come to grips with that.

Like stop walking around with crusty nails that aren't being done by Olive and June, because unless you're using the Olive and June manicure set, your nails are going to look crusty.

And do you want to be crusty?

No, it's hot girl summer.

And then they always chip and that's just like so sad.

Do not be the girl with chip nails.

Like don't.

Olive and June Mani system is the best way to do a DIY Manny.

You can do it at home and they last over seven days.

It is possible to do a manicure at home that lasts over seven days.

I know you didn't think so, but that's because you haven't heard of Olive and June yet.

The system comes with all the tools that you need in one box.

They've got a buffer, a nail file, cuticle oil, this great little rubber topper that you put on top of a bottle of polish.

So when you're using it in your hand, it really helps steady your hand.

And financially, it just makes a lot more sense because the Mani system comes with six polishes, breaks down to just $2 a manicure.

So if you're used to spending $35 for one gel manicure, it really makes sense fiscally.

And we care about your fiscal responsibility here at the Morning Toast.

Our nails have never looked as good at home as they do with Olive and June.

And Jackie was like obsessed with doing her nails in quarantine.

And the Olive and June, like the whole toolkit, you really cannot

compare like an at-home manicure.

I'm like, I'm like, a nice tool kit and caboodle.

Like not only do they make it so easy for you to paint your nails, but they give you everything you need to do.

Like, the whole works, the cuticle oil, the filing, the buffing, everything that you need, and you do need to do those things.

The Olive and June Mani system is a secret behind Salon Perfect Nails at Home, all in one, no guessing, no messy nails, and no salon price tag.

And now you can get 20% off your first Manny system with code Toast.

Your new nail life is here.

Get 20% off your first Manning system when you use the promo code Toast at oliveandjune.com.

We're done with expensive bad manicures.

This is the new US.

Thank you for that, Claudia.

You are so welcome.

Now, our first story, a little love triangle news, sort of, but not really.

Brian Austin Green says he and Megan Fox are getting along great after, quote, petty digs.

Brian Austin Green refuted claims that he was shading estranged wife, Megan Fox, in a loved-up Instagram post with current girlfriend, Sharna Burgess.

The former Beverly Hills 90210 star spoke out on Wednesday after many fans felt he was being rude towards Fox when he wrote of Burgess.

He said, It's been a really long time since I've been with someone I can truly share life with.

He said, For people that need or want clarification, Megan and I get along great.

Neither of us are sending petty digs to each other.

Well, forgive us for being confused because you sent petty digs to each other for so many years.

Yeah, no.

And then like Megan commented on that post of him and she's like, Sharna loves Sharna.

She said, I'm grateful for Sharna.

So like, no offense.

That's sociopathic behavior.

And it's weird, even if you are like really good.

Like, I think of who are like the two most healthy co-parents in Hollywood.

Like, honestly, Courtney and Scott.

Like, they co-parent really well.

And let's say Scott put up a picture with a girl Amelia, for instance, and was like, so glad to have found someone who I can share my life with.

And Courtney commented, love Amelia.

Like, that is weird.

So, of course, we're going to be confused because you're guys are acting like freaks after you've been so fucking mussy.

Right.

For years.

That's important, that they've been so messy about everything for so long.

Also,

I thought for a second, Sharna Burgess.

I didn't know who she was, and I thought she was Travis Barker's ex.

Shanna Moechler.

It's very confusing.

Very confusing.

Then I googled her.

She's from Dancing with the Stars.

Sharna.

Shanna

is Travis's ex.

Because then I was like, oh my gosh, this goes even deeper because Megan, Machine, Travis, Sharna.

100%.

But no, Sharna and Shanna

are different.

But they honestly.

But have you seen them in the same room together?

No.

No.

And until you have, you can't tell me otherwise.

No, it is like an uncommon name.

So

it's possible.

It is an uncommon name that only one of them has it's the same yeah it's the same sharna burgess soon to be green shanra burgess green i i actually like did feel bad for a while for brian austin green because megan fox rebounded in such a shipworthy way and like the whole world just kind of rallied behind megan fox and megan king edmunds

they have megan kell

machine gun kelly machine gun megan fox okay it's a mouthful megan kelly the couple they rebounded well she rebounded with him and like it was this global story.

Like everyone from like the rock world, everyone was like obsessed because they're so stunning and it kind of never went away.

Like I'm still obsessed.

It still has that sparkle.

It didn't fizzle and like the music videos, like there was just so much content for us to absorb.

And that must have been really hard for Brian Austin Green, who is like already known for being a hasbin.

Like he hasn't worked since 90210.

So he was like a husband.

And now he's a hasbin in his personal life.

So like I did feel bad for him.

But then like when it got all messy on Instagram, I was like not here for that.

Like he was using the kids to like say that Megan Fox was like fucking her boyfriend too much that she couldn't like be with the kids, which I really didn't appreciate that.

Like the kids have two parents.

Fuck off.

I'm glad that they're in a good place now.

And I did feel bad for Brian Austin Green.

And I do hope he finds someone he can share his life with.

And it's a wonderful thing.

And it seems that he has in Sharna.

Sharna to the rescue.

Okay, well, that's the latest with them.

Love to see some happy co-parents.

Yeah, I didn't appreciate his tone in the stories.

Like, guys, like, it's not petty.

Like, sorry that you two have led us to believe this entire time.

That everything you do is petty.

So it's not really on us.

I think you need to take some responsibility for yourself and the pattern you've set.

Thank you.

I agree.

Are you ready for our next story, which is an exciting list to go through?

No.

No, it's really a good one.

Give me a chance.

Okay.

28 books that are being made into movies and TV series that you should read ahead of their release.

What do you think?

Okay, you've gotten me on the Kindle train, but like, don't test me, okay?

Okay, no, but like, sometimes it's, you want to know what books are being made.

Have I read any of these you've read or heard of some of them but also i do think that the toasters might want to know because sometimes if something's being made into a movie you want to read the water first yeah so here the last letter from your lover by jojo moise illegal send my love to your new lover

if that's not like the intro of the movie i'm not finishing it okay i think that's fair honestly i just gave you a million dollar fucking idea run with it i think that's your fair stipulation i haven't read this book but i did read one book by jojo moise i think i chose the wrong book but jojo moise also wrote wrote Me Before You.

That atrocious movie, yeah.

Also, I do feel like we speak about this a lot, how so many books get bought, but never get made by certain ideas.

This one is a list of ones that are confirmed making it.

Yeah, this is from Variety.

Like, I think these things are in the production.

Okay.

The Reincarnationist Papers by Eric McCranz.

I think that's like not our vibe, but it stars Mark Wahlberg.

Honestly, I would watch Mark Wahlberg, like, brush his teeth for two hours, like die for him, and really just want to support him after he gave us the gift of Ted.

You know, I feel like he doesn't get enough respect for that.

And for that, I will always be a fan because he really kind of, first of all, he strengthened the bond between me and my sisters.

Like that movie really gave us so much.

And it's premium, premium comedy.

And not enough people talk about it.

And I think it's disgusting.

I really do.

The book description actually sounds good.

So if you're into the reincarnationist papers, you have a lot to look forward to.

American Rust by Philip Meyer.

Nah, didn't read it.

Dune by Frank Herbert.

No.

Do.

Dune.

D.

That's the one that's going to be with Lady Gaga and Adam Dryland.

Can we also talk about how Lady Gaga has just been like

so stunning recently?

Like, have you seen these press photos of her?

She was in Italy and now she's at the plaza.

And she's just like, her hair is brown and she's looking truly like like a house of Gucci like deadass like she looks stunning she really takes on the role I feel like when she was doing press for or just like around the time where Star is Born was coming out she was giving me like alley vibes and now she's really giving me like Gucci vibes I don't know who she plays but also the film also stars Jared Leto and Al Pacino I feel like they've kind of gotten shafted in all the press that's what happens when Lady Gaga when there are 99 people in a room yeah and Lady Gaga is one of them next one that you've heard of the Nightingale by Kristen Hanna it's gonna be starring Elle and Dakota Fanning um because the book is about two sisters.

Oh my God.

Love two sisters actually playing sisters.

This book is amazing.

Really?

If you've read it, you love it.

If you haven't, you should.

It's so fucking good.

It's like a World War II

book.

I really need to start keeping a list because I haven't been in the mood to read.

Okay.

But when I do get there, what was that one called?

The Nightingale by Kristen Hanna.

The Nightingale by Kristen Hanna.

And Nine Perfect Strangers is about Nine Strangers at a Wellness Retreat.

Oh, you told me about this.

Starr Nicole Kidman.

Oh, Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I've heard about this.

This book's so good.

I'm actually, oh, and Luke Evans and Melissa McCarthy.

And Gaston.

Among others.

Gaston?

So, it's going to be a Hulu series.

I'm so excited about this that I'm actually not reading the book because I don't want my perception of the show to suffer.

Three, two, one.

Gaston.

That wasn't our best.

I thought it was good.

I went low.

My nodes kicked it.

Jackie, when they go low, you go high.

No, I went low.

When they they go high, yeah,

Where are the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens?

I just want to know, like, when someone's going to make It Ends With Us.

Like, it's literally, Gen Z is obsessed with that book.

It's all over TikTok.

It's become, like, the biggest thing.

It's like a coming-of-age thing.

Like, you become a woman when you read that book.

Like, they should make you read it before you bought my spell.

I haven't read it.

What?

I haven't read it.

Are you for real?

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

You think I should?

Oh, my God.

You have to read it.

Okay.

I'll add it to my list.

Oh, you'll finish it in one day.

Like, it's literally the most stunning book.

It has it all.

It has, like, are you ready to receive my wrath, though, if, like, recommending a book to someone.

Yeah, no, this is a full, it's like recommending the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

Okay.

Okay.

I think we've never read it.

These are big things that you're reading.

Oh, my God, you guys.

It's literally, I know everyone has read it.

So it's so stunning.

And it's all over TikTok now.

It's finally hit Gen Z.

And I can't believe nobody has like purchased it.

It's the best story ever.

Okay.

Well, I'll keep you posted.

Yeah, and you know Colleen Hoover loves to throw a little porn in there.

So there's plenty of that.

Nice.

Then Lord of the Rings, I'm pretty sure that was made, but been there, done that.

Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney.

You're probably like, why do I care?

But Sally Rooney wrote.

Normal people, which is the best Sean Hulu and literally the craziest sex scene.

So if you haven't seen it.

I did not like the show.

And

I didn't finish the show because I didn't like it.

And I didn't love the book either.

I think I gave it a three.

You didn't like the show?

No, it just.

It made me, I found it to be really depressing.

Well, yes, they were both just so annoying.

It was too dark.

I loved it.

And it was a dark time.

I couldn't, I was like, I need uppers.

Obsessed with Paul Mezcow?

And his penis was in it.

So you should watch it again.

No, I it's okay.

I read the book, so I know what happens.

I feel okay about that.

I hated the ending.

Daisy Jones and the Six.

I don't want to trigger you, but that is coming soon.

Triggered.

A 13-episode miniseries on Amazon Prime.

Can't wait to not literally cancel my Prime subscription just so I don't have to see the commercials.

The Vanishing Half by Britt Bennett, which is a hugely popular book, will now be on HBO.

That's exciting.

And then

Malibu Rising.

Oh.

But they don't say who is going to be in it, but it's going to be in Hulu.

Well, I literally

just

started it.

Like, I haven't even.

Take your time because it seems like they haven't cast it yet.

Okay, goddamn.

We actually, we did a mini Malibu Rising recap on the Redheads where, because three of us had read it, and where we talked about, like, who we would cast.

I don't think anybody answered my question, but I really saw, which is so weird, for young Nina.

I don't even know that there's young Nina.

Like, please don't spoil it.

Okay.

So I won't.

Is there an old Nina?

Sort of.

It's like Nina that I know.

Don't.

I don't want to hear.

So I shouldn't say who I know I saw it as.

No, because then it'll like go in my mind and I want to come up with someone myself.

Okay, but then we'll circle back on.

Yes.

Okay.

Okay.

Cool.

Speaking of circling back, our next story is some exciting Suez news.

We are circling back on the drama, the crisis.

in the Suez that we were really kind of thought leaders.

Raptured by.

And now Evergiven.

evergreen yeah but it says evergven on BBC the ship that blocked the Suez Canal is setting sail after a deal has been signed so the ship has still been right people don't know like there it unblocked it and then I had to chill because it had to pay like a billion dollars and like yeah the ship was impounded for three months near the canal city of Ismailia

and by the way people

who were working on the cargo ship like had to stay on the boat.

Yeah, so now

the ship has left the port and there is footage showing the captain and the the crew being presented with flowers and a plaque on board the ship, which seems a little like extra considering like they got stuck.

Wait, no, I'm confused now because so they couldn't leave because they were in trouble, right?

Like they had to be punished, right?

I guess so.

They had to come to a deal with Egypt.

I mean, anyone...

And the terms of the deal have not been shared.

Anyone who was on that boat and first of all got stuck and then had to stay on that smelly boat for three more months deserves medals and flowers.

But like who gave it to them?

I'm just confused.

Like the people of Egypt?

and maybe the yeah maybe people who have been like if I lived in Egypt like I would literally be at the Suez every day like talking to people on the boat getting facts negotiating deal and just kind of being like a liaison yeah which I would go down to the Suez all the time and just like wave to the ships no the suz and I would also just kind of like swim in it and pretend I was Loland de la Seps well then you would cause like some dramas what I you can't swim in the suze you cannot swim in the suze why not I I don't know and I don't know that for for sure, but I know for sure you can't.

Can't you just like dip your toes in?

No, you can't take a dip in the Suez.

A dip in the Suez, a tripod.

True TV.

And Leste is in my chaise.

The whole world, according to Mua.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Okay, well, that's their latest Suez news.

The ship is leaving.

Lifeguards imported from Egypt.

Cargo imported from Suez.

Not your best.

No, okay.

I'll work on it.

There's something there for sure.

100%.

Like, if somebody wants to write the lyrics to a cover of that song, just all about the Suez, I actually think it could be like a viral sensation.

I think you could be the one to do it.

You just need to take the time.

I just need to try.

It's not going to be improv.

Nah.

Yeah, you need to try.

You cannot swim in the sea.

Don't swim.

There are poisonous and venomous things we are hearing from.

There's confirmation that that you can't swim in the Suez, so please don't try it and then say you heard about it on the morning toast because they're saying that you can't swim in the Suez.

Swim in the sea.

Literally.

Don't take risks on treacherous canals.

And this is a treacherous one.

Anyways, Misty Suez.

They should really clean that up.

What?

The Suez is as important as meant to be swam in.

Well, then why is it there?

I just think, like, if it's what I've learned through this whole journey is that the Suez is such an important

geographical trade route.

and literally any problem with it can cause billions and dollars of dollars and millions of people trouble.

Yeah.

So don't you think the water should be clean?

No.

Why?

The ships are just going to muck it up again.

No.

I think that they should work.

I would like to talk to someone from

the Suez panel.

You're wasting your time.

I don't think so.

I think so.

I don't think so.

Are we ready for our next story?

Mm-hmm.

Sometimes self-care looks like chicken tenders.

I couldn't agree more.

Beyond Meat launches, new meat-free chicken tenders in U.S.

restaurants.

Beyond Meat unveiled an improved meat-free chicken recipe that uses a mix.

I don't want to tell you what's in it because then you won't want to eat it.

I mean, I don't need to eat it because I eat chicken, but you should eat it.

I will be eating it.

I'll be making you eat it because what's in it?

You want to know?

Yeah.

I mean, whatever.

What is it, duty?

Yes?

So what's in it?

Fava beans and peas.

It's going to be a no for me.

For a total of 14 grams of protein per serving, the new tenders will debut in nearly 400 U.S.

restaurants on Thursday.

Which restaurants?

Didn't say.

Beyond me needs a fucking website store locator.

100%.

Yeah, or they should start opening their own franchises because, okay, great, you're coming out with this product.

Where can I get it?

150% they need store locators because I want these tenders today.

You know, of course, like, let's post-mates them and do like a mukbang.

Look how fucking delicious that looks.

God, that actually does look really good.

And you would be getting all the fava beans and peas that you need in your daily diet.

Thank God.

I've actually really pretty much usually hit my limit for fava beans and peas because that's what I have every day.

So I actually don't really need this.

Oh, okay.

Well, just in case there's a deficit.

I really want this for you because honestly, I know how much joy, happiness, and just overall peace I get when biting into a chicken tender.

And you're really not able to experience that because you don't eat chicken.

So

I need you to have this just so you can experience the joy that I've experienced so many times.

Yeah, I really do need this in my rotation of food.

Because, like, yeah, we have the McPlant out there, but sometimes you don't want a McPlant.

Like, it's a lot of different flavors.

And didn't you send me an article that, like, I forget which chain, or it was a few chains, are reporting very low sales for certain McPlant.

Not the McPlant.

At Duncan, they're like beyond breath.

They're walking back on it.

Sandwiches are not performing well and so they're like taking them off the menu.

And I mean, I never ordered one, so and you're the person who should have ordered one.

But I don't order a breakfast sandwich.

Like I just feel like

they're not good.

We have a source that says they're not good.

No, I'm curious.

I think

out of all the veggie options we've gotten in the last couple of years, I have to assume that the most successful one is the Impossible Whopper.

One, because it was the first one out.

Two, they did so much marketing for it.

And three,

you've tried it.

You said it's amazing.

Yeah, you know, I still haven't tried McPlanned.

Because we haven't done our Mukbang.

No, we have to do our Mukbang.

I've been saying it literally since last summer.

I know.

Okay, we'll do it this summer.

Let's try and do it this month.

You know, you never have to convince me to get into a car and drive to McDonald's.

Like, ever.

Okay.

You know what we should do on our mukbang?

Subway.

Oh, my God.

But only if it could be drive-through.

Well, then we can't.

Well, then we can't.

No, we have to find the one intense store.

No, I think that's a good idea.

I think so, too.

Well, anyways,

false meat eaters, you can get excited.

We have more alternatives.

More

alternatives.

Alternatations?

Alternatives.

Yeah.

I also would just like to implore anyone who works on the marketing team at Beyond Meat Company, like store locator.

Restaurant locator.

Grocery store locator.

I really don't feel like it's that hard.

No, no, no.

You're really onto something.

Yeah, I know.

I think that's also, I'm just giving out every, all these companies, million-dollar ideas today.

Yeah, I mean, you're just generous.

Crazy generous.

Crazy generous.

Are you ready for our fifth and final story that's going to lead into our TV recap?

Mm-hmm.

Because it's a little, you know, Girardi gate news.

Wait, is it the final story?

Someone's in a singing mood today.

Today?

No, like you've been singing a lot today.

Yes, I have.

Okay, you guys, here's the latest in the Girardi legal.

It's really bad.

Tom Girardi's embezzlement victims can collect payments from Erica Girardi.

A drudge rules.

A judge rules.

A judge ruled Tuesday that some former clients.

I love when judges rule.

The rural juror ruled Tuesday that some former clients of Tom Girardi can pursue collections lawsuit against his estranged wife, Erica.

The Rogomez family, who we learned about in that documentary, The Housewife and the Hustler, are eligible to sue Erica Jane for the $11 $11 million that they are owed.

Yep, exactly.

And after seeing, you know, Erica's small home, I don't think she's got it.

I don't know if she has $11 million, but it's like

she got, we know she got $20 million from

Tom.

Tom took money out of his company, which is illegal, gave it to his wife, put it in her LLC company, which makes no sense, as a loan.

Unclear if Erica knew where that money was coming from.

Say that 20 million was blown through and like it doesn't exist anymore.

They can still get the money like from her other

shoe-azzle ventures.

You know, now it's not just that $20 million, it's Erica Jane as a whole.

Yeah, this is really

bad.

Yeah, and so now it begs the question, because we've been talking about this recently, like Jen Shaw, Erica Jane, where do we go from here as

housewives fans

when it comes to keeping these people on the show?

Because yeah, it's super entertaining, but it is some sort of like ethical dilemma.

And now I feel feel like we're at the point where Erica Jane, whether or not like they want to keep her on for the drama, like it's a show about rich women, and it seems like she is no longer that.

Yeah, and if she is, like, she has some bills to pay.

Like, the eligibility requirement for being on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is

living in Beverly Hills and having money.

Yeah.

And Erica Jane, as far as I know, lives in West Hollywood now and doesn't appear to have a lot of money.

Yeah.

Also, I think as far as like taking her off the show for

ethical reasons, it's still too early to call because the case is ongoing.

And I think if Andy said that from the documentary, Housewife and the Hustler, that if there's not enough there to jeopardize her standing on the show, I still think that nothing has really come out that would jeopardize her standing, but it's still early on.

Yes.

So this is just like a bad development.

for Erica Jane.

Like it's not looking good.

Which leads into our TV recap, which we have a lot to talk about about the episode, and I hate to skip to like what they showed us for next week, but that scene of like Erica crying her makeup off,

I guess that's the week where like the lionaire stuff comes out well so honestly like even though this was a fine episode we are all waiting for the other shoe to drop and so it's just kind of frustrating to get none of it and so I have a feeling whenever we see of Erica crying will be like the last two minutes of next week's episode of course and it's just frustrating because that's really what this season is all about and as much as like I could really talk about this crystal and Sutton drama forever because it's so fucking stupid I've expired it's not what we came here for yeah so I liked last night's episode I thought there was a lot of really interesting things and we always say this, like a bad episode of Real House Diesel Beverly Hills this season is literally better than the best episode of Real House Disciples of New York this season.

Like it's just not even comparable.

So I don't even not enjoy.

I enjoy the bad episodes, but I'm really waiting for,

we've non-stopped talking about Erica Jane, and the show has not given us one thing to talk about.

Yeah.

The only thing is like if next week is about a lot of this stuff coming to light, the orphans and widows and what Tom was actually doing.

This week showed us that she was about to like be on her feet from the divorce.

Like we saw her house.

It looks super cute.

She's all set up, like, the rooms are really nice.

She had the girls over, like, she was in a good place.

I don't know if she knew that more was coming, but it will make like what happens next from the show's narrative standpoint, like a lot worse.

Yeah, and we're also like, it's also difficult to know, like, what Erica Jay knew and, like, is this, is she just like acting, you know?

Yeah, she is an actress.

She was on the Worlds of the Beautiful with Eileen Davidson.

No, and she's a theater

person.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, there's, it's very possible that like she's just showing showing us some sort of calculated, manipulated storyline of what actually happened.

Yeah, we'll get to that next week, but let's talk about what happened this week, which is just mostly housewives.

It was a hard episode for me because it was so much like Serena, and I've gotten to a place where I literally cannot stand her.

And even Harry Hamlin, who really, I think for a lot of the show has kind of grounded Erica.

groundedly since so many people love Harry and so many of the it wasn't enough for me it was not enough okay I feel I totally agree with you and it was like it pains me to say something nice, but like that afternoon, the lunch in their backyard was so stunning.

And like to have your husband cook a home-cooked meal for your friends from the vegetables in his garden was just like such a lovely touch.

And also to do all of that for Garcel, and I'm with Garcelle 100%.

Like, we are mad at Reyna, but to have someone throw you a birthday party, not just like, oh, I rented out this room at this hotel and I called the Kato.

In your home.

In your home, like homemade meal.

I agree.

The cake and the everything, like

she really, and but Lisa Greno will stop at nothing for forgiveness and for just like everyone to like her and for continuation on the show.

So if it means like, you know, going full stop for Garcelle, that's what she's gonna do.

And I think Garcelle knows that.

And I think Garcelle was kind of going between like being touched, but also like knowing what was really going on.

Yeah, but I think like you can be touched.

I think that you should be touched because what she did was

a really lovely afternoon.

The grounds of her home are so stunning.

It's so beautiful.

And it was a really lovely setting.

I agree.

I thought it was.

And I would love to try Harry's Bolognese.

I really would.

It was really bothering me when they kept calling it Bolognese.

Like, you're in Malbo's Bolognese.

Yeah.

It was really annoying me.

I agree.

It was really a lovely afternoon and like a perfect COVID.

Like, if I had lived in a home during COVID, like, I would have had everyone over for Bolognese and Tequila every night.

Yeah.

Outside.

Like, that, it looked lovely.

But here's where I feel like for the last couple of weeks, every time we talk about the Sutton and Crystal drama, like I am back and forth.

I was first, first with Crystal, then I was with Sutton.

And now I'm kind of back with Crystal.

Like, what breakdown, like that random breakdown she had when everyone got, it seemed, Sutton is triggered by being left out.

We noticed that in Tahoe when like she thought everyone was in on a joke about her.

It wasn't about her, but she did feel left out and that triggered her.

Seeing Kathy, Kyle, and Crystal go in on a gift together, that's what triggered Sutton.

She's very weird.

She had such an overreaction to whatever the hell was going on.

Like, I don't know why she, that whole birthday thing, like, started to bother her, and she got up and started crying.

She slightly unhinged and that's why we love her but like it's very hard to defend her like I didn't really know no one was talking about the peeping tom thing I mean she walks into the party for a sensitive woman she walks into the party and the first thing she's called is Thomasina it was funny I don't know who that is but no no me neither but I think it's like a joke like yeah like peeping tom sort of thing no I know but so it's like okay so that's who she is in the group and not everyone's still over it and there's no resolution between her and Crystal and some people can just move on and it's like I think for me I would just want to avoid confrontation that it's like okay we're not gonna we are gonna agree to disagree Let's let's try again.

But for Sutton, it's not resolved, and she feels really awkward, and she's an awkward person, so it's like doubly awkward.

What do you think Crystal meant by like you're jealous?

Um, I think she meant that, like, Sutton is like newly divorced, and I think she lives a like or and with her husband had lived like a life at the same level as Crystal.

Like, I think they run in like a similar sphere, and Crystal's life is intact, and she's

if that's the case, that's a really mean thing to say.

Yeah, that's just the vibe that I got, me too, Like, very Jackie Goldschneider.

Like, I win.

No, but, like, Teresa is jealous of Jackie.

Like, literally she wants to stop flirting with her husband.

And I don't think that's true of Sutton.

First of all, I think when you're fighting with someone and you say, we're only fighting because you're jealous of me, it's like so

cop-out.

Yeah, like...

It's just, it's just a lame thing to say.

And also, all the women in the group, a lot of them are happily.

Like, Kathy Hilton came out in the same time as Crystal.

She has the same things.

And Sutton's not beefing with her.

So, like,

it's just a lame thing to say.

And I understood why Sutton was

more upset.

And then she hit us with ugly leather pants.

So funny.

So funny.

Sorry.

Great comeback.

Yeah.

It took her a minute, though.

Yeah.

It took her all the way to get up the hill to come up with something to say.

Also, I did absolutely love getting to see Kathy Hilton's house.

It was everything I dreamed of and more.

It was so stunning.

And she lives right near Crystal, which means it's like a sickening area.

The backyard was so gorgeous.

And then they went inside for like tea or whatever.

It was glorious.

Like exactly what I expected when we signed up for Kathy Hilton.

Yeah.

Also her not knowing what Hunky Dory means.

That was really funny.

That was funny.

And like,

is that possible that she doesn't know what Hunky Dory is?

I mean, I don't know what Tomasina is.

That's so true, Tomasina.

You know, some people just have different references.

So true.

Other than that, what else happened?

You know what I've actually been realizing in these last couple episodes?

Dore.

is irrelevant.

Yeah.

And honestly, the one thing we got from her last night's episode is talking about like her designing bridal, which is, I'm sure the dresses are beautiful, but like, this is what we keep saying.

Like, the franchise in the last couple of years has elevated so much.

And it's like Kathy Hilton, like, just sitting in her palace drinking tea.

And like, Doret's talking about, like, designing a bridal collection.

Like,

it's just a little,

it's just not going to work for me.

I understand.

I, I have way more patience than you do.

And I think that it's just because Doreet's not involved in the drama right now, but I think she can still hold her own.

I think Doret also put a lot of the drama on her back for the last couple seasons.

Like she and Kyle were the ones who started that holy Savannah pump thing.

Like the dog.

So I actually think maybe she just wants a break from like being from like having to like be the bad guy.

Yeah, I agree.

Me too.

It was a good episode.

Again, nothing like crazy happened, but I still enjoyed it.

And I really just love seeing the gals get together.

Yeah, same.

And I'm really over the Crystal and Sutton drama, but until like Crystal's not going to be able to move on from it until there's a resolution.

But like, I'm sorry, Sutton won't be able to move on.

but Crystal is not changing her tune.

So, where do you go from there?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Yeah, and like, honestly, I know, I kind of relate to Crystal because

when you really don't feel like you did something wrong, like, you don't want to apologize.

And, like, I'm very stubborn like that, too.

Like, if I feel like I did something wrong, or like, I really will apologize.

But if I don't find wrong in what I did, like, go fuck yourself.

But sometimes just like saying an apology for someone who's like so clearly upset by something makes it so much easier, but she's not going to give that to her.

So, we're going to be talking about this for a long time.

Which is really annoying when like, literally Erica is like,

maybe when the Erica bombshell drops, like, everyone will just kind of get in line.

Yeah.

Hopefully.

Yeah.

But I thought like the bombshell was dropping.

But I guess right now, to them, it's just like Erica decides to get a divorce, period.

Right, well, think about it.

They're talking about Thanksgiving, and then Erica filed on election day.

So when did the lionaire stuff come out?

Because it's not even Thanksgiving yet.

Yeah.

So we can track the timeline.

Probably in December, but then they get COVID.

Oh, so that's why I'm talking about the data.

And that's why Garcelle is talking to Kyle Kyle on her balcony.

Oh, no.

On the balcony, too.

Oh, my God.

You're 100% right.

That's so annoying that, like, the juiciest time is when they have to stop down filming for COVID.

It was December, January.

December slash January.

Okay, so maybe, maybe we'll get.

Yeah.

Well, that'll be interesting to see.

I know you've had a lot of success with Noom.

Can you tell me a little bit about that?

Yes, I love Noom.

My favorite thing about it is probably just like the support that you feel knowing that there is this like platform that has your back and that you can go to turn to if you have questions or you slip up or you just want that consistency.

So, my favorite thing about Noom is probably the calorie tracker just because sometimes you don't realize like what you're eating and what's in it.

And also, they like let you know like grams of fat, protein, and it all adds up.

And so to see your day at a glance with Noom is everything of the sort.

All right, Love Island.

I've never watched it before and I had a few initial thoughts.

Please share.

One, I've never watched a reality show on CBS.

I just thought that was interesting.

Two, Ariel Vandenberg is the host.

Yes.

Ben is like 100% in love with her because really?

Okay, so I told you Ben had become like really into Are You the One?

And last night he wanted to watch.

I'm like, I'm actually starting this new show that it's like a similar premise to these dumb shows we've been watching.

Like, I think you'll enjoy it.

So he was like on his phone, and then he was like, Ariel Vandenberg?

And he's like, he's just like always showing me her videos.

And I,

I think he's in love with her.

Do you think he's like in love with her content?

No, and like her face.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

So

that's kind of trickery.

He's going to have to stop.

So I just thought that was really interesting and a great selection.

She's like super funny.

We love to see like a digital personality thriving.

Yeah, and she's been hosting since season one of the US.

So happy for her.

The house, sickening.

Like that slide was everything.

I just, and that harked back to my point number one, the budget that comes with being on CBS.

The house was so nice.

The music.

The music is everything.

And then a new song for every contestant.

what a man gotta do like they were just killing it the music is the best part of love island you will also find new songs that you don't already know it's so good and sometimes like when it comes to too hot to handle i thought that like lana and the voiceover girl were first of all way

too frequently like speaking like shut the fuck up it's really not about you and their jokes were so corny and lame but they had like a narrator on to on love island that really didn't chime in much and when he did it was actually funny yeah so i really enjoyed that yeah no he's a big part of the show and his and his crazy jokes so i so again i never went

sometimes we don't even see arielle in the whole episode like which i love like it's not about her yeah so here's was some of my initial reactions like so that whole thing where you have to like step forward for the guy like literally traumatizing trauma and of course like it has to be that the guys because if it were a girl like that would just be too sad like i know we're we're equal but like we're not we can't handle that we can't handle that So, I was cringing to death when three of the guys got nobody to step forward for them.

Like, it was really, truly, honestly painful.

Yeah.

Of course, like, Shannon and it's so hard to remember everyone's names.

Yes.

Shannon and Josh Goldstein.

I remember his name because I'm like, are you Jewish?

Got to look into that.

They were like the only couple who like.

Yeah.

Did Olivia step forward for

the guy who became obsessed with her?

Giovanni?

Yeah, it's so hard to remember.

I know.

Even the narrator said, I don't know their names yet.

So

I don't think she stepped forward for anyone.

So most of the couple of people.

I think they all did for Jeremy.

Jeremy.

You guys.

Most of the couples were forced together, which is just so awkward.

So awkward.

But it really doesn't really matter who you're coupled up with.

There's going to be like a recoupling in the next episode.

It just means that you sleep in a bed with, but they all spend all their time together.

And I guess if there's a challenge like that, it'd be your partner.

Right.

But the first coupling really, really doesn't matter.

Well, it's sad because Josh Goldstein thinks that he has found the one that he's going to win because they're going to be like the strong couple.

And she's just one of those girls, which I...

I just can't relate to people who are always looking for someone better when literally the best guy is standing in front of her and he's so obsessed with her and like they could just win together like if they just like gave into each other.

And she's like, I like the chase.

It's like, grow the fuck up.

No, yeah, I had no time for her.

I had no time for that time.

I told her last past episode.

She's not into him.

I hope he like meets someone worthy of his commitment because he seems like he wants to go all in.

He's so cute.

Yeah.

Jeremy.

You guys.

Jeremy.

And when he picked Trina, she was like so excited.

And Trina's like so sweet.

So sweet.

And like, I think they're actually like, could be like a cute couple, but when Trina was like getting emotional in her confessionals, like Trina just has to like dial down like a little bit of her desperation.

Like it's showing a little bit too much.

And it's coming, it might be a sincerity that's coming off as desperate, but whatever it is, like she just got to reel it in a tiny bit because she's so lovely and angelic.

And I think that like a lot of the guys are into her, but she's coming off a little desperate.

Yeah, I hear you, but I also feel like she's, I mean, who wouldn't be so into Jeremy

at first glance?

And you have to realize that the fifth person that comes in is going to be so handsome because it's going to make all these girls

get away.

Like, you know, it's going to be exciting.

Maybe they knew that, and that's why a lot of people didn't step forward till the last one.

But he is just something else.

I really

seen anyone who looks like him.

I was so struck by him.

Especially because, like, that's not my usual.

Like, I don't love the

hair.

But he is just, like, so pretty.

He's really really striking like the narrator said something so funny world's luckiest hairbrush that i texted claudia um when we were watching together via text he said jeremy owner of the world's luckiest hairbrush so funny also so true i thought that the moment between that platinum blonde guy christian and cachay who like took her wig off said she like shaped her head before she came here and she was like so nervous because like she loves the way it is but like she doesn't know how other people are gonna react i thought that was like literally the sweetest moment like i was actually gonna cry like yeah and honestly i think that is the bravest thing you can do like i there's been many times when i've just wanted to shave my head because like i can't deal with having hair anymore um and she just like did it right before she was supposed to go on like this tv show that's all about like looks and hair and makeup and i just think that was like an incredibly brave thing to do i totally agree it was a really nice moment and also i feel like all the cast members are just like really nice people like even and this always happens with love island like whenever really someone new comes into the house like everyone is so welcoming like oh my god you're so beautiful Like when they all fight, like it's not

chatty and competitive, which is really nice.

That is nice.

Like they're, I don't know if they're told to be like that.

Or I mean, you should want to be like that because who wants to come off like an asshole on television?

But I feel like with Too Hot to Handle, when there was like new people, they were like, ooh, even though when I'm watching a TV show and I'm just starting to get to know types of show like these or like The Bachelor, I'm just starting to get to know people, remember everyone's names, and then they like throw in more contestants.

I'm always like, ew, fuck these contestants.

Because I just started to get to know these people.

I can't bother remembering two people's names.

I've started to shit people.

And I get, I get that it really does like mix up the show.

And some shows can't move forward without bringing in new people because if everyone's coupled off, but as a viewer, I'm like, get the fuck out of here.

No, but last night's episode and casting, well, then we got two new people, but before we did, like, it definitely left me wanting more.

I was like, who's next?

No, bring it up next.

When they were sitting on the couch playing those games, like, I dare you to kiss her.

Passionate kiss.

Like, so stupid.

I was like, oh, something needs to happen.

So I didn't feel.

Also, then the two new guys came in.

And Cinco is so handsome.

I think he's really going to shake things up.

Me too.

And I'm really excited about that.

Me too.

I thought, I really like it.

My first impressions were like,

I don't know what the point of the game is yet because I've never watched it, but I kind of just want to like roll with it.

Okay, and I'll just try and explain to you.

So like every, the, the match.

In order to stay in the house, you have to be in a couple.

You have to be in a couple.

So like.

There's always, it switches off every week and there's always more guys than girls or girls than guys.

And at like every other episode or so, there's a recoupling ceremony where the five girls will choose from the seven guys.

Everyone chooses who they want to couple up with for the next week.

And then there's two, like seven

people who go home.

Oh, every week.

If someone doesn't choose you, you go home.

Yeah, every week there's people leaving and coming in, which makes it nice.

But usually in the two seasons that I've watched, the end people who are there, it's a lot of the original cast still.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

I mean, we'll see with this, but if there's not strong connections like from the jump, and like when new guys come in and new girls come in, like they're all going to like have their eyes open.

Yeah, right.

Like looking.

I mean, half the girls, Kira, like couldn't get away from her partner fast enough.

Like, I think that a lot of the girls are in couples that they're not super happy with.

Yeah, but it's, it's still so early that they don't, they don't have to be like so love.

My only other issue with the show that I realized last night is like, I hate that the show calls them the girls and the boys.

Like these people aren't boys.

Oh, I never realized that.

I realize it because they're like, which boy do you want to couple up with?

And then in every recoupling ceremony, like, I want to couple with this boy because, and everything's like the boys.

And I just think like boys are 12.

I completely agree.

It's inappropriate.

Men, or who could call them guys?

Guys.

You can call them guys.

I think boys is just like the wrong word.

I also really liked how they have two separate dressing areas because like in Too Hot Tandel, it gives me so much anxiety.

There's one shower that like everyone shares and there's like one bathroom that everyone uses and one mirror.

And it's just like no way to live.

Yeah.

So I was just grateful for the accommodation.

Yeah, it's definitely spacious.

Yeah, it is.

I'm like, the girl, like.

The girls get to talk, the guys get to talk.

I enjoyed that very much.

There's a lot of places to fall in love.

When they were talking about their dance moves, and that guy Josh was like, I really like to throw stuff up and catch it.

And then they were all like throwing an invisible ball to each other, pretending to catch it.

That was very funny.

Oh, that's funny.

I must have been on my phone.

Oh, my God.

Really?

It was such a cute moment.

Oh, I enjoyed it.

That's really funny.

But all in all, I'm a big fan.

Like, I think tonight, obviously, it's my birthday party.

I don't know if I mentioned that, so I'm not going to be able to watch, but I'll probably watch and we'll recap it like maybe once or twice a week.

I agree.

I'm not going to be able to do every single night.

But I think that's a good thing.

And I don't like a cliffhanger.

Like, I want to batch the episodes like four at a time.

So we'll talk about it.

So Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday nights.

Or Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday?

I think it's Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

So basically the Watch Drapons live schedule.

Yeah, so maybe we recap on Fridays.

No, maybe we recap on, I don't know.

I don't know.

We'll think about that.

We'll figure it out.

Yeah.

And that is our show.

Yes, it is.

Tomorrow's show will be in studio and podcast as usual, but it will be up a little bit later just because I plan on getting lit tonight.

I'll repeat that.
