Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the morning toast.

Happy Thursday that feels like a Friday day because this is our last show of the week.

Jack and I are both heading out of town for some events that we must partake in.

It's very exciting.

It's a Thursday that feels like a Friday.

And that's the sort of energy that we're going to bring to you today.

Like a little gotta get down on Thursday energy.

We've got to get down on Thursday.

We've got to free Brittany.

There's so much to do on the docket today that I'm actually feeling overwhelmed.

I know.

And I'm looking forward to it because there's been a dearth.

There has been a dearth in things to talk about.

And there's been a surplus of mindlessness.

But we've been making do with it.

We have been.

And it's always so fun.

And like, I personally like, you know, the challenge of finding stories outside of the news.

I know you do.

But there's a lot to talk about today.

One, the Britney stuff is just

mind-blowing.

Like, it's crazy how much we now know.

Yes.

You know, she speaks.

She spoke.

And so we're going to talk all about that.

But also, Real House-wise at Beverly Hills, I really need to unpack how I'm feeling.

Yeah, because I had a major shift of heart.

I had, I was going back and forth.

Like, really, at one point, I was like, oh my God, I take back everything I said.

Like, yes, are you talking about Crystal and Sutton?

No.

What are you talking about?

Erica.

Oh, my God.

No, that was community theater at its finest.

I didn't even really give any, like, I wasn't even listening because whatever you're telling me, it's a fucking lie.

You didn't leave him because he didn't say, love you back when you dropped him off at work.

You left him because he stole money from widows and orphans and you quite possibly knew about it.

Like, that was literally acting.

I'm talking about Crystal and Sutton.

Like, I was so team crystal.

And, like, now I just feel like.

She's like light like lighting the attention of like all this drama So she's like prolonging it while saying she doesn't want to be prolonging it Yeah, whatever we'll get into it

no I had a lot to say about it and then I also watched CSTK which is just like such a good show right now because they made the most of COVID and they're still in the Grenadines.

And every week, like new people come to the island.

And it's Bachelor in Paradise.

No, literally, it's Bachelor in Paradise, but it's all like former enemies

of theirs.

And Cara, do you remember Cara?

No's job?

Nose job?

Cara.

Who never got a fair shake on the show to begin with?

Agreed.

Who, like, she showed up and everyone decided to be mean to her without even giving her a chance.

Just because she was with Garrett.

Because she was with Garrett and she was like friends with Alex.

And then Chloe was like, like, kind of egging her on to like being mean to the other girls.

And I just felt like she never got a fair chance.

And I always felt RDH about the way it went down for her.

And now she's back.

And

I'm so glad.

I'm so behind on CSTK.

So I will very much look forward to.

I only watch the first two episodes this season.

I've got to get my shit together.

So I'm looking forward to hearing the recap from your mouth to Juliet's ears.

Yeah, to God's ears.

Same thing.

God loves CSTK.

God loves Juliet.

So we have a lot to do today, and I'm just feeling excited, you know.

I'm heading to Vegas.

That's so exciting.

And I'm just like actually so excited to like be in a casino, like smell the cigarettes.

Like I'm just, I can't wait.

Are you going to gamble?

Of course.

I mean, I don't have a lot of time.

I'm literally in Vegas for like 17 hours, but I have a feeling I'll find some time.

Yeah.

Leave it to me to find time.

That's exciting for you.

Yeah.

I love gambling.

You really do.

I do.

You do, you do.

So I feel like we should jump right in because there's actually a lot to cover.

Like must and dilly dally.

And we've dilly dallied long enough.

I'll just give one update, which is that I finished Malibu Rising.

So good, five stars.

Oh, it's really great.

I just bought it on the Kindle

for my plane today.

It was so good.

I also bought the new Sally Hepworth book, Good Sister, is that what it's called?

So if I have time, maybe one on the flight there, one on the flight back.

I don't know.

Yeah, you could, if you, Good Sister is a shorter read.

Malibu Rising like felt long, but I didn't want it to end.

Also, it's two totally different books, the first half and the second half.

Oh, I hate that.

No, no, no.

Like, it's the same book, but she just like turned it around.

Okay, okay.

Yeah.

No, it's.

Oh, I understand what you mean okay you know yeah okay so i think without further ado to do to do going back to saying it because it's our show and these things make us happy me at least and make us special we are nothing if not special right so without further ado

Oh, she's a laptop girly today?

I'm on my laptop today because I forgot to charge my iPad.

I figured it was charge and it wasn't.

It just didn't have, it didn't have the strength for the show.

We talk about this like every few months.

Like I don't understand why you don't leave your iPad here and just charge it like every time you leave.

You take it with you and of course you're not going to charge it at home.

I do charge it at home.

I don't know.

It just

feels, I guess I could.

Maybe I'll try to start doing that, but I have a system.

System works, you know.

But the system does fail like today.

Yes, but I had my computer, which I also always have.

I always have a backup plan.

And if for some reason my computer was dead, I would use my phone.

Yeah, when you are gone and I have to like be in charge of the show with the co-host I do all the stories from my phone and first of all like chaos literally like my eyes get so tired.

It's like tiny little font and it just looks like if you're watching on YouTube like I'm on my phone the whole time 100% It's like I couldn't be interested in what like Taylor Streker has to say because I'm just like reading text.

No, 100% and I think the laptop looks pretty serious.

Like doot doot doo-doo.

What is she working on?

Doot doot doo doo.

It's Mr.

McCorky.

What's his name?

Mr.

McCorky.

Doot doot doo doo.

Pick it up, Kim.

Doot doot doo doo.

Hi, Mr.

McCorky.

Kim, where are you?

I'm about to do my show.

Kim, fuck your little passion project.

We've got villains to slay.

Mr.

McCorky, I'm so passionate.

Okay, are you ready for our first story?

Like, no more daily dialogue.

Not unless we're freeing Britney.

Of course we are.

It's our first, second, third, fourth, and fifth story.

Okay.

Just kidding, but it's the big one.

Britney Spears

conservatorship case.

Her full statement is here.

Britney Spears spoke before a Los Angeles court on Wednesday, giving a fervent speech on the details of her 13-year conservatorship.

In her nearly 30-minute virtual address before an LA court court and judge Brenda Penny, the singer spoke out against her father, Jamie Spears, and her management team, saying that she is, quote, traumatized.

And her family.

She kept referring to her family, kind of implying that like she lumps in her dad with her mom and her sisters.

Like, I was shook by that.

I really was.

I was as well.

Quote, I've lied and told the whole world I'm okay and I'm happy.

I'm not happy.

I can't sleep.

I'm depressed.

I cry every day.

Shortly after, the singer ended, asked to end the 13-year conservatorship, saying, I just want my life back.

It's been 13 years and it's been enough there were so many takeaways from this speech like so many bombshells came out so many like shocking tidbits about what she's been going through and I think the most shocking thing at least for me was the way that she spoke because we're used to this voice she puts on on Instagram it's actually concerning when you see it because it's like oh this person is maybe struggling because she's like talking very strange.

She was so coherent, so articulate.

Like she was not at all like that weird kind of persona she puts on on instagram and like for me these were the craziest bombshells one that they put an iud in her and she can't get pregnant because she said i just want to live my life i want to marry my boyfriend and i want to have babies and i currently can't because someone put an iud in me that's insane two they put her on lithium which is like the strongest drug in the world that she says she does not need yeah three is that um

oh

And this was like actually really crazy to me because she has all these meetings every week with like managers and therapists and nurses who she's paying, but she didn't approve.

she's like you have to meet with the therapist you have to like them they just make her go to therapy and if she doesn't she gets punished and they make her go to therapy in downtown la and then they call the paparazzi so of course she leaves a forced therapy session very emotional the paparazzi gets pictures of her crying in the middle of downtown la and it continues this narrative that brittany's unwell she needs the conservatorship look she's struggling when she's like just can i have the therapist come to my house and can i get it to be a therapist that i like yeah and can i meet the therapist once a week instead of three times a week.

Like she's not even asking for anything so crazy.

I just can imagine like how powerless it is to to make all this money.

And not only do you not have access to it, but other people are spending it on your behalf.

Yeah, that's infuriating.

In horrible, awful ways.

Yeah.

Making you look crazy.

Yeah.

I can't, I can't even imagine.

There were so many like stories that she shared, even like when she was rehearsing for her tour.

And there was one dance move that she didn't want to do.

And by the way, she said that she choreographs like her whole tour, she does the whole thing.

There was one dance move that she didn't want to do, and they were like, Britney's being difficult.

She won't comply with what we need her to do.

And they use that as an excuse to put her on more medication.

Right.

And with the dance thing, they said that like all the dancers and all the people at the choreography like session were like, Brittany's so unwell, like she can't.

And then a video, I think maybe Sam took it.

It's a video of Brittany at that choreography session where she's leading it.

She's choreographing the dance and she's showing it to everyone and she's so with it and she looks like she's actually like having a good time.

Like there's just like the conservatorship is problematic for a million reasons, but also what I realized yesterday is like part of the

conservatorship's like biggest mission is to make Brittany look bad publicly so that the judge and just the world doesn't think that she needs to get out of the conservatorship like it's the best thing for her.

Yeah, I will I mean this has re like reached a critical mass

spotlight.

I really hope that the judge and and the court system do right by her like we really like she needs freedom.

She's not a free person.

No, and she's proven that she's very capable of living in charge of her life.

Yeah.

And like the other thing I took away from her whole speech is like I love Sam Ashkari.

Like he's literally a hero.

She can't drive alone with him in a car.

Like, she's legally, we're conservatorship-wise, not allowed to get in a car with him alone.

And I just feel like I kind of wrote off their relationship because, like, I don't know, like, I just didn't think much of it.

But I actually feel like we've gotten to the place that we're at with the help of Sam Ashkari.

Like, I think he's really good for her.

Yeah, definitely.

Also, they would like use her kids as

sort of like bait.

Yeah, bait to like make her do stuff.

Like, if you don't do this, you won't be able to see your kids.

But then they would put her somewhere and she wouldn't be able to see her kids.

And also, like, where's hashtag?

Where is Kevin Federlein?

I would absolutely love to hear from him.

Yeah.

Do you think he's part of the conservatorship?

Like, because you have to imagine all these people who are wanting to keep Brittany in this conservatorship are benefiting from it financially.

Of course, her dad is.

There's no doubt about that.

What it seemed like is like her whole family is.

Maybe Kevin Federlein is too.

Like, why?

Why would Kevin Federline participate in that?

I don't know.

I can't imagine he has that much power in a situation.

Unless he's getting, you know, benefited from the conservatorship, so he just does what they say.

Yeah.

Which I could see being a possibility.

Yeah, probably.

So it was crazy to hear her speak like in a real voice.

Yeah.

It was that.

That was like the first big shock.

And I think what's even crazier is like this whole free Britney thing up until really yesterday, it's been sort of like a conspiracy idea.

And, you know, there was the case that like, no, she needs the conservatorship.

Britney's okay.

Like, everyone is blowing his hat.

They're protecting her.

But then what she shared yesterday, it's actually so much worse than I think anybody thought.

Yeah, me too.

At first, I was like, I mean, that sucks, but like, she's, you know, locked up in her mansion doing art and trying on clothes.

Like, how bad could it be?

But it's really abuse.

Like, abuse.

It's physical abuse, putting like drugs in her body that she doesn't consent to, putting an IUD in her body.

It's control.

It's literally like hostage.

Yeah.

It's crazy.

It's actually like the craziest pop culture

development, I feel like, of our generation.

Like, cause it literally all started with the podcast.

Yeah.

The movement.

Yeah.

The movement has been very grassroots.

But I also feel like the movement and the momentum and the documentary, that gave Britney like the strength to speak on it.

Like, I feel like if there wasn't this outcry from her fans and from the community, she might have just stayed silent.

Yeah, or like if there wasn't this

huge interest, you know, she would have spoken to the court, but like this was a like a virtual statement that, you know, everyone was sharing through the internet.

Like, this wasn't like a broadcasted thing.

No, I thought that it was going to be broadcast.

I was literally on YouTube looking for the live stream, but it was not.

I read the transcript.

I watched a video.

Like, the free Britney, like, stands were outside the courthouse, and there's like a speaker outside the courthouse that lets you hear what's going on inside, and somebody recorded that and put it on Twitter.

Wow.

But that's where the movement is so important, because if there was less interest in it, then she just would have given her speech to the court.

And the judge, like the judge did two years ago, would have shut her down.

But now they can't.

It was a 30-minute speech.

Yeah.

And I wonder what is the timeline?

Like, when do we hear?

the verdict.

I do have like a small amount of faith that the judge is a woman.

I just feel like women are more sympathetic.

But didn't, wasn't she saying in the speech that like this was the the same she pleaded with this judge two years ago did she and shared so much of this and and nothing changed do you think the judge has seen like the free britany documentary she probably can't like she has to remain completely impartial I don't know if she's seen the documentary, but I think she's seen the headlines this morning.

Yeah, I mean, it was powerful.

Like, I don't know how you could be in the room.

Like, I watched it, a video of a speaker, and I was impacted by it.

So I don't know how you could be in the room and not, like, have just enormous sympathy for her.

And she's like, what her lawyers are asking is not for, you know, a new conservator, because that's what happened.

This woman, Jodi, who replaced her dad, ended up being worse.

And she's working with the dad.

And that's what Brittany said in her speech.

She was like, Jodi, like, you were, that was a good development the last time we reported on it.

Like, all right, the conservatorship is still in place, but at least it's not the dad anymore.

It's a court-appointed Jodi.

And what Brittany said is like, Jodi's worse than anyone else.

She's like, my life is hell.

So

a new conservator wouldn't even help.

Like, the conservatorship just got to go.

Yes.

No, like,

it's time.

It's time.

I agree.

It's been 13 years.

Like, and you know what?

A conservatorship is basically like when you don't think a person is able to take care of themselves,

someone comes in and you know, controls it for them.

First of all, Britney seems fine.

And I know people way worse off who are literally in control of their own lives.

So it's so stupid.

So stupid.

And also like the fact it makes no sense.

One plus one equals sock that she can go on these tours and

support all these people.

She said this too, like tours, trucks, buses,

residencies, like all these things that she's doing, but she can't even take care of herself, but she takes care of thousands of people.

Sure.

You know, she does all of that.

Sure, Jodie.

Yeah.

Sure, Jodi.

Exactly.

Like, that's the thing.

It's like, well, if she's so unwell, how is she literally like the most successful Vegas residency pop star?

Like, it actually doesn't make sense.

No.

That's such a good point, too.

And she made that point.

I just would have loved a little bit of clarification on who runs the Instagram.

Because I feel like it's not her.

If she doesn't have control of her life, she doesn't have control of her Instagram.

So she might film content and have to like submit it.

And they post it like, La Dida, like, like, thinking they're tricking us, but like, we're not.

No, not at all.

Interesting.

It's a crazy development.

We'll keep you abreast.

I don't know when like a judgment is coming, but I think we're all just really hopeful.

And honestly, if we don't get like the answer we're looking for, like

it's just going to be, it's taken us 13 years to get to this point.

And I feel like Britney is going to be broken.

I don't see how we don't get.

the verdict.

But I mean, I know, but like.

I don't know what will happen because I really think that now everybody even people who like weren't interested in this like aren't are now hearing no human being deserves to be treated this way no it's really awful and honestly like I just feel like everyone in the all the lawyers I just feel like everyone's paid off and that's what Britney said she's like they oh no I was watching Rose McGowan did a segment on Fox News about it and I actually learned a lot from her they paid off doctors in the beginning of the conservatorship to say that Brittany had dementia

so can someone in dementia sing literally for two hours straight songs from 10 years ago?

Remember all their lyrics?

And that's how they got the conservatorship.

So, everyone's been paid off.

So, like, if it doesn't go the way that it should, it's because like it's so corrupt.

Yeah.

But I think that the spotlight on this

puts pressure.

And all those like evil forces that work in the dark are now have come to light.

Yeah.

Well, we are rooting for Britney constantly.

And you know what?

Got my gavel.

Justice for Chris Crocker.

Who?

Leave Britney alone.

He's been talking about the Free Britney movement before it was popular.

Yeah.

He's literally the first Free Britney stan.

True justice for Brittany.

Well, of course, yes.

And if that judge, Brenda, doesn't use her gavel to sway in the cause of justice like this,

I'll be very upset.

Yeah.

And she doesn't deserve to hold this sacred mallard.

No.

Mallard or mallet?

Sacred mallet.

Right?

Well, I have my computer too.

Mallard is that thing from Sex in the City that are all over trey and um mallet is what we are and a mallard is like those duck things that are you know in charlotte and tray's apartment i'm lucky decorates it with all those ducks oh yeah

it's a duck yeah it's a kind of duck that's really funny yeah i actually just watched an episode of sex in the city about the mallards so that's why it's i said mallard yesterday too Got it.

You were close.

I'm so smart.

Like, it's disgusting.

Okay, are you ready for our next story?

Semantic?

I mean, no, I honestly, like, I feel like once we stop talking about Free Brittany, like, we lose our momentum, but we do have to move on.

I just want to say, like, we support the Free Brittany movement and what's going on in our justice system is a disgrace.

Disgrace.

Towards the judicial branch of this government.

Disgrace towards the word justice.

Literally.

Okay, but our next story is also some big news of the day.

Scooter Braun did a profile in variety talking about his illustrious career from, you know, his beginnings till now.

And he was asked a question about Taylor Swift.

And that's every headline in the news today.

Because I read the article.

And honestly, like, if you can separate the Scooter Braun from the Taylor Swift, like what Scooter Braun has built business-wise is arguably one of the most impressive businesses in Hollywood.

He just got acquired for a billion dollars by a Japanese company.

His company is not even just talent management, it's merch, it's art of virtual reality.

It's actually so impressive.

And like the only thing people care about from this article is the Taylor Swift of it all, because honestly, they're just contradicting each other.

Like, how can it be one plus one equals sock?

Like, Scooter never reached out to me.

I reached out to Taylor multiple times.

Which is it?

Yeah.

So, in a new profile for Variety, the 40-year-old music mogul maintained that he offered Swift every opportunity to buy back his masters, her masters, and said that he's sad about how his acquisition of Taylor Swift's masters recordings went over with the singer.

He said, I regret and it makes me sad that Taylor had that reaction to the deal.

All of what happened has been very confusing and not based on anything factual.

I don't know what story she was told.

I asked for her to sit down with me several times, but she refused.

I offered to sell her the catalog back and went under NDA, but her team refused.

It all seems very unfortunate.

I feel like this is like a little bit of like gaslighting.

Like, I'm sorry that it went that way.

And he said, like, you know, me and Taylor had only met a few times before this, and it was like very civil.

Well, that's like really gaslighting because, like, let's talk about like the public thing, like, you know, the screenshot with Kanye, Justin Bieber.

Like, there was more than

the FaceTime, yeah.

There was more than just like a few casual meetings.

Like, you can't understand, you might not agree, but you can't understand why Taylor doesn't like you.

Yeah, he, but when he said the thing, like, offered to go sell her the catalog and wanted to go under NDA, because that's what you do when like you're going into an agreement, it harks back to when she said in November 2020 that he requested she sign an NDA that would silence her forever.

Yeah.

And that's where two things can be true, just from two different people's point of view.

There was an NDA on the table.

Taylor saw it as silencing her forever.

Scooter saw it as the introduction to a business deal.

That's true, actually.

Like perspective.

So I think both of their POVs can be rooted rooted in what actually happened, but like anything else, they see it differently.

Yeah.

Honestly, like I didn't really care about this,

the Taylor parts of the article because like I stand with my girl Taylor, like whatever she tells me, I believe.

Like I really do.

But I think what people are missing from this article is like his business is so impressive.

And he got acquired for a billion dollars, to which he profited about 400 million.

And he gave over 40 people like millions of dollars dollars from the deal in stock.

One, he gave it to like Justin Bieber and Ariana, who like really built the company.

Like, if it weren't for them, he wouldn't have much credibility.

He gave it to like certain people at the company who started with him, people who like were early employees.

I thought that was really cool.

Yeah, really cool.

I think if you read the article, you'll have it.

If you've only heard about Scooter Braun, like from the Taylor Swift Masters drama, I think you'll have a whole new world of context around him as a business person.

And I think in the saga between him and Taylor, I think that it was a feather feather in his cap.

You know,

one point for Scooter.

Yeah, I mean, Taylor's obviously, like, in the public narrative, has won this argument.

Scooter is the villain.

He stole her masters.

And I think that the article as a whole is just one small win for Scooter.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, I do think this is all part of, and he says, like.

The journalist asked him, like, you became like this villain.

Like, does it bother you what people think about you?

And his answer was very generic.

Like, with, you know, with success comes, you know, all different types of perceptions about you and controversy, which is true.

But I do think he's deeply bothered by like the

narrative that's been said about him because he probably believes it to not be true.

Yeah.

Also, I think for like up until the Taylor Swift stuff, like he was very like a B2B guy.

Like if you're in the industry, you know Scooter Braun, like you have so much respect for him.

And like the Taylor Swift stuff made him like so B2C.

Like everyone

is a celebrity.

And his like public-facing self now is just associated with this like massive.

People don't even think about like the business, like what he did for the 10 years before Taylor swept her.

Yeah.

And also, I mean, I do think it's interesting how so many of his clients have such wonderful things to say about him.

When I read the story yesterday, and then I read the Britney transcript and her talking about like her

shitty management team, and I was like, I think she needs to be managed by Scooter.

Well, that's what Scooter said about the Taylor thing.

He was like, it meant a lot to me that all the people, like Demi and Ariana, Justin, they all stood by him.

And he feels like that was validation for him that he was right.

And honestly, honestly like that's that's fair but i stand with taylor

but i still have respect for the business yeah it's it's actually if the article is super interesting if you like if you hate scooter like you're just gonna hate it but if you're interested in the business of hollywood it's super interesting yeah and how he got acquired and this i forget his name but like the the ceo of the japanese company that acquired him like became his mentor to him and gave him like such great pieces of advice and it was actually an interesting article from that i didn't even care about the taylor stuff because honestly I'm really not interested in hearing any other side than Taylor's like I just stammered Taylor like I believe what she said happened and I believe Taylor okay

also I thought another interesting thing that he said because they asked about Justin Bieber going back on tour because like his last his

two tours ago he canceled 14 shows the year before didn't sell got canceled because of COVID also

they said literally it was arenas and then they like downgraded to stadiums and then thankfully like COVID was a good excuse for them.

They're like, oh, we just have to cancel all them.

That like doesn't make sense to me because Justin Bieber is like.

But think about before the pandemic.

Like, he was in a weird place.

And literally during the pandemic, it was bop after bop after bop.

And I would not miss a Justin Bieber concert right now.

Yeah.

A year ago, like, you couldn't pay me.

Yeah, that's true.

Anyways, he talks about how like him being with Haley on tour.

Oh.

Like, cause they were like, I don't get any of the whole arguments.

Because he doesn't, because Justin doesn't have a good experience with touring, really.

So they were like, what will be different for the next tour?

Like, how do, what makes you sure that, like, it's going to go well?

And he was like, well, he has Haley by his side now, like someone who really has his back.

And he's going to be with him at every single stop.

And like, she's just a really good partner for him.

So I thought that was really nice.

I saw the purpose tour with like the trampolines.

I mean, it was stunning, but like he was jumping around on a trampoline and like was not singing.

I saw the one, I think it was probably purpose.

It's the Christian, like, is that his first like Christian-ish album?

Yeah.

I loved that album.

Yeah, I saw it recently, like five years ago, so I think it was purpose.

It was good, but he wasn't singing.

Yeah, no, he was jumping around.

on a trampoline.

Yeah.

Okay, ready for our next story?

Only if it's the next story that's brought to you by Noom.

It is.

When it comes to losing weight, there's a lot of pressure to find out.

Sorry, there's a lot.

Let me start again.

I had a little burp.

When it comes to losing weight, there's a lot of pressure out there to label foods as good or bad, but that just creates unnecessary dilemmas.

Noom is here to change how we see food with a psychology-based approach that looks at what you eat, but also how you eat.

Instead of making you feel guilt or regret, Noom empowers you to keep going.

You don't need rules to lose weight, just the knowledge and wisdom to help you build smarter, more sustainable habits.

Noom's cognitive behavioral approach helps you unlearn bad habits and better understand your relationship with food.

One size does not fits all.

One size does not fit all.

Choose your goals and Noom will personalize a weight loss program just for you.

80% of Noom users finish the program and over 60% have stuck with their goals for at least a year.

You have been on the Noom

life for a really long time now.

Yeah, for a few years now.

What's your favorite part?

My favorite part is just the consistency of it.

It just really feels like even no matter how far you stray, like Noom is always there.

It's never too late to get back on Noom and to let them know what you've been up to.

Like Noom, and Noom doesn't judge, which is my favorite thing.

Unlike me.

Like they know that you're living too.

Yeah.

Girls gotta

start building better habits for healthier long-term results.

Thank you for that, Claudia.

You are unbelievably welcome.

Okay, next story.

Netflix gives a two-season order to the dating show Sexy Beasts with catastrophe star Rob Delaney as the narrator.

Great.

like literally moronic shows left, right, and center.

No season two of The Society.

I will never stop bringing it up.

Right, we get two seasons of Sexy Beasts, which is actually just like the masked dater.

It's the masked singer meets love is blind.

Yeah, where these people are going on dates in elaborate masks, like not just like, you know, a face mask.

No, it's the masked singer.

They look like mask offs.

It's like prosthetics and everything.

If you watch the trailer, it's like so ridiculous.

It actually looks like that commercial for that

is where that girl is.

Match.com.

The girl is going on dates with 2020, the devil.

And Satan and 2020 are going on a date together.

That's what it is.

Yes, exactly.

That's what the trailer for the show looks like.

And now it's coming to Netflix.

It has two seasons, which sees singles heading into blind age transformed into various animals and mythical creatures through the use of Hollywood movie prosthetics.

The show is based on Lion TV's original British series for the digital BBC3 in 2014.

Can I tell you why?

it sounds stupid because love is blind for me why we loved it so much and the whole world loved it One, because it was quarantined and we had nothing to do.

No, actually, it was not quarantined.

It was before.

I take that back.

Why we liked it so much was because it was finally like a serious dating show.

Like the bachelors become so like, like

kitschy.

Like Love is Blind was so real.

We got Amber and Barnett.

Like we really developed real relationships from it.

And it was a journey and it was like a crazy experiment, but it was still very serious.

Lauren and Cameron, like there were, and this just feels like it's doing the Love is Blind template, but taking the seriousness out of it.

It's so ridiculous.

I mean,

I'm sure they'll have like real couples from it.

And I think because it's Netflix, they have the time to really like develop these relationships.

And based on the trailer, like it looks like people maybe fall in love.

But just like, how can you watch this with a straight face?

No, I know.

And like, honestly, what's really getting me like all bent out of shape about it is

how they just like kind of with this dumb idea like strolled into two seasons and we couldn't even I'm sorry I'm never gonna stop bringing it up like why we couldn't get a second season of The Society.

It's so disgraceful.

Like, The Society was literally,

I want to say, like, one of the smartest, best, most compelling shows of our generation.

For young, for the young sect, yes.

Yeah, no, I think old people like it too.

It's fascinating.

Such an interesting concept.

Great acting.

Yeah, no, it was so good.

And I just, I agree.

We can confirm two seasons of this, but we couldn't confirm two seasons of this.

And I think they actually did confirm two seasons of The Society.

And then, like, after it launched, everyone loved it.

They decided to take the second one away.

Like, I just want to know what happened.

Like, COVID.

Why did Catherine Newton piss off?

Like, what happened?

It was one of the COVID casualties.

And I think that, like, Netflix, I think they made the wrong choice.

And I'm still holding out hope that they will correct what they did.

Or like someone pick it up.

Like, it's just, it's really not okay.

And what if they left up?

Netflix is what picks up shows that were like unrightfully canceled.

And if they had said it was just a one-season kind of thing, like Queen's Gambit, and like the end was left up to interpretation, like we could have, you know, lived with that.

But the fact that they give it and then take it away, that's what most hurt me.

No, it hurts so bad.

And then it hurts more when you see this idiot

like this yeah moronic i'll probably watch it but still maybe no honestly the only thing is that netflix actually does a really good job at reality shows right and like i don't even watch the circle because i watched first episode and i thought it was like kind of silly people love it like People really do love these like stupid, and even I thought the math singer was such a dumb fucking idea the first time I saw it.

I'm like, this is not going to last.

It is a cultural phenomenon.

So like maybe we're wrong, but it looks so stupid.

Like I really can't do this today.

Like it's a lot.

It's a lot.

I agree.

I'm dealing with Britney.

Like I'm dealing with a lot and then you have to see like this moronic lunacy yeah I agree and actually if you watch a trailer which you should like it really looks like an SNL parody of the show yeah like the mask dater like a joke when is hailing sunset coming back I hopefully soon do you see Crochelle bought a three million dollar house like yes Crochelle no I didn't where is it it's so nice honestly looks nicer than like one Justin Hartley might be able to afford you know Where is it?

Plus, they were living in the valley before.

Is it in the valley?

I'm really not clear on the geography of LA.

Like, to me, the whole thing is Beverly Hills, but like, that's just not true.

I'm not clear on it either, but selling Sunset got me to a clearer place, which is like, there are the hills, which like wrap around a million times.

I know the hills.

They're literally.

And then, also, like, if you're just thinking of geography, like, where there is a hill, there's most likely a valley.

Oh, man, that's such a good call.

But, like, what I used to watch TV shows, like, okay, Cher, when her dad called her and she was at a party in the valley, he was like, are you in the valley?

Like, the valley's in the house.

I was like, great.

Literally.

And and then like in entourage they had to like go down to the valley and it was um a power outage and they were so hot and they went to that party like the valley's always like considered bad but now like all the vanner pump rules kids live in valley village i'm just confused that's why if you watch selling sunset and chris became their like valley ambassador the valley's really coming up and you can get a little bit more land i think it's great for family so she probably moved to the valley if you want to just google chris staff's house it's so nice like the backyard looks like a farm chairman dream like so much open air like views that's like very valley-ish yeah she probably does live in the valley she She couldn't be like the valley spokesperson for the Oppenheim group and not live in the Valley.

100%.

And I think she was really passionate about the Valley.

I don't think she was putting on.

And who better than us understands passions?

Hollywood Hills.

Disgrace.

Absolute disgrace.

That's really upsetting.

Oh my God, this house is fucking stunning.

I know, right?

And she did it all by herself.

Like, I'm actually really happy for her.

Wow.

She got that dancing with the stars money.

That's selling Sunset and Netflix money.

I'm really excited for the next season of Selling Sunset because Christine is just

the most interesting woman.

I'm going gonna need Marion Roman not to return in order to make the show watchable.

I agree.

What the show giveth?

Christine.

Christine.

Yeah, they taketh away Mary.

I totally agree.

Okay, are you ready for our next story?

It's like some random news.

Sure.

Wow, way to sell it.

Yeah, sorry.

Jerry Seinfeld is doing a Pop-Tarts origin movie for Netflix, but we still don't get Society Season 2.

Wait, what?

Jerry Seinfeld.

What's Pop-Tarts?

Or Origin story?

It's not a cartoon, it's a snack.

He's doing like a show about how they got their star.

Jerry Seinfeld is set to star, write, direct, and produce a Pop-Tarts origin story inspired by one of his routines.

Okay, now, Netflix.

Is it animated?

Netflix has acquired the rights to the comedy feature film Unfrosted, which will tell the story of the invention of the sugary breakfast pastry.

Story, the invention of Pop-Tarts.

I don't think my father, the inventor of Toaster Strudel, would be too happy to hear about this.

Yeah.

Okay.

I just want to say, it sounds incredibly stupid, but like, so did B-Movie.

And that movie was so compelling, I literally cried.

B-Movie sounded stupid?

I don't think so.

A movie about bees?

Yeah, it did.

And Jerry Seinfeld literally knocked that shit out of the park better than any episode of Seinfeld I've ever seen in my life.

Sorry, I said it.

And I'm honestly not going to knock this until I at least see a trailer.

I don't know how many people like need to hear the story of like how the Pop-Tart was invented, but like I really, I think it could be cool.

If it's like scripted,

like a show that sounds cool.

If it's gonna be like all those shows on Food Network, which is like how you know, they on Food Network, they're always doing like little documentary episodes about like how unwrapped, unwrapped.

Yeah, that's the best show ever.

If this is gonna be unwrapped, like I'm good, but if it's gonna be like a scripted fiction show, I think it is, that's what it sounded like.

That sounds cool, yeah.

I mean, I mean, is this story worth telling?

I don't know the origin of pop-tart, but you know what story is worth telling?

The second season of the society.

Um, wait, I had one more thing to say about this moronic idea.

And that was, what were we talking about?

Pop Tarts.

Jerry Seinfeld.

A little bit earlier.

Unwrapped.

Yeah, right before that.

Society.

Right before that.

Big movie.

B movie.

Seinfeld.

Comedians in Cars.

No.

When are we getting another season of that?

I don't know.

I don't know.

It looks like they could use some French comedians.

I need another season of that because sometimes I forget that comedy is more personal than food.

And it's so important that Jerry reminds you that all the time.

All the the time.

Honestly, I don't think this is such a bad idea.

Like, I might watch this.

Yeah, who knows?

I mean,

you never know.

I've watched worse things, you know?

Yeah.

I watched The Big Shop with Bethany.

Like, I can handle anything.

Justice for that show was so good.

Well, speaking of comedians in cars getting coffee, our fifth and final story is a news study that's great news for coffee lovers.

Oh, you know me.

Obsessed.

Yeah, coffee lovers are almost 50% less likely to die from chronic liver disease.

A news study says.

So dark.

Turns out that extra coffee might end up saving your life.

So it's good that you're on the coffee grind now, Claudia.

I feel like since, oh, I remember what I was going to say.

I remember.

It's so random.

Like, it honestly makes no sense.

I don't even want to say it.

But now you have to.

So, like, in the fifth grade, do you remember like having to do a project where like everyone had to do like a whole origin story on how something was invented?

You know, everyone like did the light bulb or like something like the microwave.

I chose, and this has to do with Pop-Tarts.

I chose, and I don't know why, I chose the

waffle cone.

Like, I wanted to figure out like who invented the waffle cone.

And what made it so difficult is, like, there's actually a really kind of confusing origin story on the waffle cone.

And it's actually not even clear.

Like, there's rumors that it happened at a world fair, like, somebody took a waffle, put it in a cone.

There's really no confirmation on how it actually started, but the whole point of the project is to detail the origin story of a certain product.

um and then my teacher called my parents and i got in trouble for choosing the um

waffle cone and i had to go with the light bulb so i just think i hope jerry doesn't run into that problem with the pop-tarts it i think that he probably has it down pat hopefully it's clear like yeah but i can imagine that you should have just gone with who invented the waffle

Yeah, no, I just like wanted to, I'm not like other girls, so I just wanted to be creative and like everyone was doing like such obvious, like the kite, like we know, is Benjamin Franklin, you know, like, no,

he didn't meant the kite, he invented the electricity with the kite you know what i mean like everyone was just doing like textbook idiocy like the phone alexander grand bell duh like we knew that i just wanted to be different because i've never been like other girls and i chose the waffle cone and it literally this project like tortured me in the fifth grade like for months I could see why.

You should have either chosen like the waffle or the ice cream cone.

I just wish that there was an episode of Unwrapped that would have detailed how the waffle cone got started so I could have just plagiarized it from my paper.

Yeah.

Well, if you had figured it out and you enjoyed a waffle cone, you you should have had a cup of coffee with it.

Well, so that's else what I was going to say.

I just feel like there's all these studies.

Like, I've been reading, I've been hearing about studies, it's always on the local news, and they, like, never come true.

Like, it's like projection.

No, it's like, I agree.

Don't live your life based on this one study.

But if you're currently a coffee drinker, like, that's good news for you.

Like, don't...

Don't be so worried about your habit.

No, I'm not worried at all.

I just, I refuse to live my life by these studies.

Like, I really do.

And they're just constantly.

You have to live your life for you.

Yeah.

And not for the scientists.

No, and no.

You like, if you want a cup of coffee, have one.

If you don't, don't.

Chars.

But now that you're joining the coffee club, I figured you'd want to hear this bit of good news that you're doing something for your health.

It's good because pretty much everything else I do in my life

chips away at my health.

Like I'm 26 with the body of definitely like a 97-year-old based on just like how much I drink and like don't sleep and eat like an animal.

So that's good.

Yeah.

It's always good to hear you're taking care of yourself.

Yeah, so congrats, Claude.

Thank you.

The scientists really did this one for me, I feel like.

Yeah, the scientists and their studies, you know?

So that was the fifth and final story, and I definitely feel as though you needed to know most of them.

Yeah, no, you needed to know most of them.

You're welcome.

Let's talk about Real Housewives at Beverly Hills because we finally got to hear from Erica exactly what's been going on.

I agreed with the women that she definitely had like a much lighter spirit to her.

But if I didn't know all that I know now, I would have thought last night's episode was so interesting, so sad.

She's so brave.

She's so courageous.

Oh, her new house is so sad.

I know what I knowing what I know now from the housewife and the hustler and just like what's been going on in the news, like I couldn't even watch this performance.

Like

acting like they got divorced for any other reason besides the lawsuits is so inauthentic and it's such a lie but i do feel like for her own court appearances like she has to keep it up the story that she they got divorced and i like if she admitted that she actually released it on election day to try and bury it like i appreciate the transparency

i appreciate that too i don't know like i feel like we said this season like she needs to explain to us what happened there's still some like There's still some wiggle room for her to let us know that she didn't know.

But I feel like until the lawsuits become become a subject on the show she's not going to bring them up so until we get there like i still can't believe fully but i felt like we got way more last night than i expected to considering it's erica and how much like legality is going on behind it and i'm really really curious is all and also like

I don't know, just some things weren't really adding up because like she, I feel like every time, I mean, obviously, of course, if you're in a marriage and like you guys are together, you're not going to always talk about like the negative things, but I felt like for so

it seemed like they had the best marriage like Tom was her biggest cheerleader well and so for now her to say that like he treated her like an employee

I can like

it just is so incongruous with everything that we that we saw well I had forgotten about Erica's first season where Tom was actually pretty active on the show and they gave us a few clips he used to like snap at everybody I forgot about that oh my god I I don't know I completely I hadn't I had never chilling I had never seen that before when they played the footage of like him snapping at Lisa Vanderpump's.

I remember that, but I don't remember him snapping at Erica.

I was like, what?

Did we ever see that?

Because that's not the Tom that ever came through on the show.

He has been rehabilitated image-wise on the last few seasons.

After his first season, they took him out and only showed him like once a season, and he was so supportive of helping her sign her Broadway contract, inviting the ladies over to their parlor and giving them drinks and telling funny stories about Eric Rock and the mother.

I never knew that his image on the show needed to be rehabilitated.

I remember that first season.

No, I don't remember him ever coming off badly.

Oh, I do.

And when he snapped at them, I'm like, oh, that's the man on the phone.

That's the voicemail guy.

Yes.

That's sociopath Tom.

I remember, I remember it happening, but I had completely forgotten about it until they flashed back.

And it was a gentle reminder that, like, he's actually a bad person.

Yeah.

That was crazy.

I had completely forgotten about that.

Her new house is

nice for someone, but like going from the palace to the palisades or whatever, like it is

a huge shift.

And honestly, her assistant and Mickey or Mikey, whatever his name is,

being like, oh my God, it's gorgeous.

Like, they're being very supportive and nice.

Like, oh my God, it's going to be stunning.

It's like, girl, it's a rental.

No, I thought the house was really cute.

And also, like,

given, if this were just, you know, she's leaving her super wealthy husband

and this is her new house.

Like, that's not what it is.

It's like she's leaving the fucking scandal of the century.

Like, she'd rather be in this house than in a prison cell.

She's fleeing, and this is like supposed to be a temporary thing.

And I think that if it weren't for the lawsuits, this would be the place that she would chill at until she gets her settlement, Camille Graham or

Tusaisle, and then gets to spend her money how she pleases.

But there's no money to get.

Like she would, she'd, if they just got divorced, Thomas said, he had at one point he had $80 million and now he doesn't have anything.

Yeah.

So I don't know what Erica's going to do financially if she gets out of this.

I think that, I think she, well, if she gets out of it, one, like legally, and also, I don't know, there's so much that has to happen before

the judgment is made.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

So I'm just like taking every piece of information, like adding it to the puzzle, the board of trying to understand the housewife and the hustler.

And I felt like more information for sure.

Yeah, we need more information.

I just,

I don't know, because it's like if for 20 years like their relationship was this way of like him treating her like an employee and like

so condescending, even though that's not what it seemed like, but then why leave now?

Right.

You say you were going to hold this man's hand till he died died, and it's always been this way.

And

why did you leave today?

That moment could potentially be around the corner.

He's very old.

Well, and apparently, according to the courts, he has.

He has dementia or Alzheimer's.

Yeah.

So it's just all very confusing, and there's so many lies, and all the women...

Are believing what Erica says because they don't know what we know yet.

So it's like frustrating.

It's like, ask more questions.

No, but that's why I'm waiting for the lionaire suit to become public in real time because we do have that scene of Duri talking about the orphans and widows.

And we do have the scene of Garcel asking Erica, like, is that why you got divorced?

I think we'll get there in time.

It's just moving a little slowly for me.

Okay.

And then for me, for the rest of the episode, I actually found that to be like slightly more interesting just because like this Erica stuff, knowing what I know now, it's like, girl, you could lie and say, like, he didn't tell you he loved you.

Like, that's not why.

But I found this Sutton and...

Crystal thing to be so interesting because I really sided with Crystal and Tahoe because like Sutton is weird and I can imagine her coming into a group and like Sutton's just being weird.

Crystal's dragging it out so much and then like complaining that it's still happening when it's like literally still happening because he won't stop talking about it.

And I really feel like I disagreed a lot with Garcelle last week, but I thought this week, Garcelle was really very poignant.

Like, okay, Sutton was acting weird.

She wasn't being mean to anyone in Tahoe.

She was just having like a few off days.

And so for Crystal Cook to call her manic and crazy is like so dramatic.

And you just shouldn't be calling other women that.

And then when Sutton pointed out, like, those words are so triggering for her because her dad committed suicide, which she had conveyed to Crystal.

I'm like, you know what?

You're actually right.

Like, Crystal's being way dramatic.

No, I was glad to see Sutton standing up for herself because I think in Tahoe, she like realized, like, oh, her crazy is showing.

Like, I'm just going to apologize and we're going to try and smooth this over.

But then, like, when the word violated started being thrown around, it became like so much bigger than it needed to be.

And then Sutton, like, really stood her ground.

I was happy to see her do that because

it was so unnecessary, the whole thing.

And I agree, the whole time I was like on Crystal's side, because I feel like in that situation, like, I can imagine feeling like herself.

You would be the crystal.

I really, really would.

And I would 100%.

And I would feel so fucking awkward.

But they need to move on.

Yeah.

And I really feel like Sutton has.

Like, Sutton has not, she was glad that she accepted her apology.

Sutton hasn't been speaking about it to anyone.

And there's just like a million clips of like Crystal.

She said, well, I'm going to ask, I'm going to answer.

Well, if you really wanted to get past it, if somebody asked you, you would say, honestly, we've gone past it and I don't want to rehash it.

Like, that's a very normal thing to say.

And like, it wasn't a big deal.

But, like, I can imagine if Dorit, the way she described what happened to Darit,

what happened while she was talking to Darit, if Dorit Doreet were to watch the scene, like, that's not the

same thing.

She dramatized.

She dramatized.

And she, like, Sutton said one thing, but Crystal was like, she said something, she made me feel weird, as if these two were all separate things.

But it's just the one thing that she said that made her feel weird that was like awkward.

Yeah, and Crystal was definitely, you know, completely valid in her feelings the next morning.

And I sided with Crystal because Sutton was being weird, but Sutton apologized immediately, is doing her best to move forward.

And Crystal, like, won't let it go.

Yeah.

And she keeps complaining that everyone's still talking about it.

It's like, you, you are still talking about it.

yeah so that's where my focus for the episode was um i thought the evening at crystals looked so lovely and it was so nice to see all the women devouring food because i feel like this group really doesn't eat and they were like living for the dumplings and they looked so good they look they looked really good i was starving watching the episode like so hungry um but other than that like nothing else really happened this whole kyle and debris thing i honestly don't even want to talk about because it's so stupid and Kyle's so wrong.

Yeah, and I'm glad she changed her tone.

Yeah.

From, if you want to be my friend, you can't speak to me like that shut up like seriously i hate when people say that like don't talk to me that way it's like i'm bitch i'm gonna talk to you however the fuck i want like i hate when people say that especially when dore like literally didn't say anything crazy no not at all so that's that on that cs to key cs to key okay so people are coming to the island and what i mean i'm really enjoying the cowra stuff i need some more people to forgive her juliet has forgiven her because also like juliet can fight this war on so many fronts juliet needs allies and i can like i really appreciate that she knows that.

And so I'm really enjoying the friendship between Cara, Juliet, and Madison is also cool with Cara too.

Kelsey had her swimwear photo shoot and it just like got really sad because

like everyone was like fighting and the sun was going down and like she wasn't getting all the shots.

Did you get your JMP label bathing suit?

I got my JMP the label bathing suit.

I sent Claudia a picture.

Sexy bikini photo.

I sent Claudia like a sexy bikini shot and it is so good.

Really?

And the material is really good and it like holds everything.

I was really impressed.

I'm going to wear it this weekend.

And I just felt like it was really, it could work for anybody.

It really, really do.

So I was really impressed with JMP the label.

And I'll like post pictures this weekend.

Myself, you know, like a bikini pick is a scary thing.

Scary, scary thing.

Don't commit.

Don't commit to the bikini pick.

No, but like maybe I can finesse something.

Thanks, dude.

A srong.

What else happened?

Julianne and Sam are really cute.

And again, he's like so unnatural on camera, which we love to see.

We love to see a humble man.

Yeah, we really do.

And

I guess it's like, I'm trying to think what else happened.

Juliette's upset that, like, Kelsey is, like, using the trip to do her photo.

She's like, that is annoying.

For her bathing suit.

And, like, the more that I think about it, I really wish that Juliette and Kelsey could have gotten along and launched just one swim suit line together because it would have been like the Siesta Key swimmer.

Like, it would have been amazing.

But they just, you know.

Maybe there'll be a merger in the future.

I don't think so.

They're like so against each other.

But also Kelsey really, like, I feel like for so many seasons, she was just sort of like happy to be the supporting act.

And like she just woke up and is like, I am the main character.

I actually really see that and I completely agree.

And that's always the worst type of reality star, the one who thinks that they're the star when they're so clearly not.

But she's like,

she's doing everything.

Like she's, she's taking it on.

Sure, sure.

She could be pop, like.

She's never going to be Juliet.

Well, Juliet is the full-time narrator now.

Like, remember in the beginning, every episode it was someone else.

And now it's totally Juliet.

Also, Chloe has quit the show,

which I haven't really noticed her absence.

I feel like she was always scanning the flames of drama, which is why she wanted to quit because she didn't know how to stop doing that.

It was making her like a drop

person.

And it is for the best because, like,

I just want to see these things develop the way that they normally would.

Because these things are so crazy and interesting.

They don't need to manufacture drama.

So glad to see Kara back.

I hope that she can make amends with more people.

She's doing like a pretty good job so far.

And And like every time she goes to apologize to someone, she's like, so, you know, like kind of humbling herself in earnest, but like the minute she gets pushback, she just turns into such a bitch.

I feel that 100%.

No, it's like, okay, I tried.

No, and it's like, listen, don't mistake my humility for weakness.

Like, I'm just trying to move on.

And if you can't, like, fuck you.

Yeah.

I fully respect that.

All right, so good.

I really need to catch up on that.

Maybe I'll download it on my iPad.

It's really, it's really good this season.

And this island situation is just such a good idea.

Yeah.
