S4 Ep108: Intro To Mindlessness: Thursday, June 17th, 2021

Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the morning toast.

Happy Thursday.

Hope everyone had an amazing hump day.

They successfully humped someone they love, and they're currently acknowledging the space that they're in, which is one day away from Friday.

Friday.

Gotta get down on Friday.

Somebody.

Are you gonna get down?

Uh, yeah, for sure.

I never miss a Friday to get down.

It's a beautiful thing that it's Thursday.

I'm really looking forward to this Friday, you know?

Me too.

And for more days of alarm-free living.

But what's so crazy for me is I have been waking up earlier and earlier.

This morning, I woke up just on my own at 8 a.m., like way before I needed to be up.

And it's just, and now I'm waking up with those times on the weekends too.

And it's just like, what's the point of alarm-free living if we're not sleeping in?

No, I completely agree.

I'm on a different trajectory.

Like, I'm alone this whole week, which means like so much responsibility, like in the home, at work, Theo.

Like, I just, I want to take a moment to acknowledge all the single dog moms out there, like, Marga Washre.

I actually have so much respect for her.

Like,

I would do anything for this man.

Like, literally lay down in oncoming traffic, like would do anything.

He would take a bulk.

You would rather lay down in oncoming traffic than walking.

I would take him for a walk.

100%.

It's just like, at least I'm laying down.

Yeah.

But it's just a lot of work.

And like me and Ben really do equally share the burden.

So no, not a burden.

That's not the right word.

Share the brunt.

Responsibility.

Yeah.

But doing it all by myself since Ben's away has been a challenge.

So I've just been like, non-stop, like, go, go, go, you know?

And then I'm also making all these plans every night because I'm like afraid to be home alone.

like at night like i i was up at one in the morning like thinking there was a murderer in my house last night because i'm like a freak like that and i watched too much svu so it's just like a lot for me to bear yeah no i understand well theo seems to be doing so well in great spirits like obviously loving mommy and me time

you said in great spirits but it sounds like it sounded like you say in great spirits like he's an ingrate you know like your spirit is he has

a grateful spirit yeah right yeah no he's so grateful you can tell yeah no and actually i do really appreciate this time just him and i because he definitely likes ben more than me.

Um, because when I said me and Ben's both the responsibilities, it's really like 60-40, you know, maybe like 70-30.

Yeah, so he's always gonna love the person who's taking care of him more.

And that's me these days.

Like, I give him both meals, I do the walks, and I don't know, it's just been nice, like, having him, like, literally curl up in my belly, like for the night.

That's so nice.

That's me and Brute Didoo, who, by the way, is just doing so amazingly.

Thank you, everyone, who's always asking about Brew wanting to do it.

We never get to see him.

I know.

I'll bring him soon.

He's just like such a rampunctious little boy.

And to come to a new place like it just becomes stressful because he's so excited McPlant is here and he just doesn't realize like just sit the fuck down.

Also I'm really proud of us for how we've kind of you know handled this McPlant.

McPlant is alive and well.

Yeah we really can't take any credit for it.

You did the whole thing but it's still here.

Theo's eaten it.

We've just like knocked it around and it's green and it's alive.

And I think that just says such a wonderful thing about Bloomscape, which is that you can be even like a mediocre plant mom and McPlant is here here for you.

Today's episode is not even sponsored.

I just wanted to point out like how positive of an environment we foster with our Stevie vibes, that the plant is like literally dancing in the corner.

The plant is thriving.

Thriving.

Speaking of plants, it reminds me of something from last night's episode of Real House Wise of Beverly Hills.

Which was the biggest waste of time in the history of television.

But yes, we'll get into it in the TV recap.

Biggest waste of time.

They have no respect for our time, our integrity.

Our brain cells.

Our brain cells, our intelligence.

They literally said to us last night, you're dumb as fuck and I'm going to waste your time, which is meaningless.

And our time is worth more than your time.

That's what they said to us.

We need to watch Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin garden.

Which I know you weren't here for, but I actually found really interesting.

First of all, like I thought that the fact that Harry Hamlin is like this like paranoid survivalist was kind of relatable.

I guess, yes.

And the fact that, one, he's created this whole garden in their backyard so that they can like live off the land.

And he had these big white things that are from this company that I can't remember the name.

It's like Farm Something.

Chemin?

Farm Chemin is the name where like they are these orbs that you have in your home that grow like dozens of herbs and vegetables.

Yes, I've seen

Kelty Knight from Lady Gang has one.

That's where I've seen it.

I saw it on Kristen S's Instagram and I sent it to Rebecca because she's so into gardening and all of these things.

But like even for a girl like me, I'm like, fresh herbs, I feel like everybody.

Wait, doesn't it need to be outside?

No, that's the beauty of it.

You can have it in an apartment and it is like indoor mini greenhouse for your life.

There's a big ugly thing in your house.

No, I mean I'm not getting one, but just the idea of like having fresh herbs when I feel like anytime I buy an herb from the grocery store, I never use it when I need it.

And I'm always throwing out my herbs.

It's so hard to get the timing right when it comes to herbs.

Yeah, no, and Herb Ertlinger says like, get some fresh fucking herbs.

So I don't know.

I just...

I really like those machines.

And for people who have them, like, I'm really jealous.

Curious.

And you have fresh lettuce.

Again, every time I buy lettuce, it turns out to be the week that salads are not happening for me.

Lettuce in the bin.

That is why I just steer clear of vegetables and I go more towards like the bagged items, the candies and the chips and the snacks.

Yeah, also frozen vegetables are helpful in that regard.

But anyway, so I did find the

Harry's segment interesting.

Again, like Lisa didn't really need to be there like wearing slippers to do a fire drill that she has to do in one minute, like put on a pair of sneakers.

No, the whole thing was just bothering me.

We'll get into it because there was like a lot to unpack, but also literally nothing to unpack.

Literally nothing.

At the end of today's show, after the Fast Five, after the TV recap, I also want to talk about the younger series finale.

I won't spoil it because I don't know if you're ever going to watch it, but I just have like a lot of thoughts because I'm angry.

I'm upset and I'm hurt.

Here's the thing.

The thing is, I plan on watching it.

I do.

I've given it so many seasons, but I could just see myself watching it and being like, I don't want to watch this anymore.

It was so bad.

Like, it was so confusing.

I'll get into it.

But I do want to let you know I do have a little surprise for you and for the audience at the end of today's show.

And it goes a little something like this.

Kelly's mindless snooze like the 4th of July.

And not only is it the standard mindlessness that we've come to love and adore about Kelly Rippa, but there's a twist to the KMN segment today, and I'm really excited to get your take on it.

I'm really looking forward to it because I think, one, we haven't done KMN in a while, and it's important that we keep everyone abreast.

And we keep the mindlessness alive.

And that we're constantly calling out this mindlessness because I feel like as a consumer, the mindlessness from publications regarding all celebrities is gotten to, is reaching a fever pitch.

Do you think that's a result of the pandemic?

Because like I do.

I do.

I think that there's not that much celebrity news and so they make stuff out of nothing.

And I understand like that's these people's jobs is to write articles.

But I'm just like, when you're reading it, you feel your brain cells like getting up and walking out the door.

Right.

And I just think we need to call it out.

And you know what?

Normalize writing fewer articles if there's not that much to say.

Normalize writing less articles.

And I've noticed, actually, somebody pointed this out to me in my DMs and I thought it was such an astute observation because this mindlessness trend that really is spotlighted on Kelly Rippa, but like a lot of other celebrities get that MN treatment.

And someone has recently kind of risen the ranks in the mindless news category and they're coming for Kelly Rippa's throat.

And that person is Rebel Wilson.

I could see that.

It's like I have Rebel Wilson wears a dress and it's a story.

Like she's just been getting this mindless news treatment.

I don't know if she hired the same PR firm as Kelly Rippa, but there's something going on in the world of Rebel Wilson.

And now that I've pointed it out, that's the magic of mindless news.

Now that I've pointed it out, and thank you to the person who actually pointed it out to me, you will notice it in your everyday life.

When you're searching for stories, you will notice the RMN, Rebels, Mindless News.

Interesting.

Gonna keep an eye out for it and just keep an eye out.

Read these headlines that are so mindless, an insult to your intelligence, because it's wilding out here.

And I actually read such a fucking mindless article the other day, which was like all the celebrities who have come to Chrissy Teigen's defense.

Oh, and it was literally a

six celebrities who, the six celebrities who commented hearts hearts on her Instagram.

Okay, that's it.

As if we all don't have the feature to view top comments and just see this for ourselves.

Like, that's not news.

No, of course.

And anytime a celebrity like apologizes or does anything, I always go to see like what other celebrities liked it and commented on.

It's like, we knew this.

That was like a BuzzFeed news article that literally that person should be fired and literally demoted to an intern because that is not journalism.

Like wrapping up Instagram comments and putting it in an article doesn't make you a journalist.

No, and when the comments are emojis, like, and it actually highlighted that I guess like not that many celebrities are coming to Chrissy Teigen's defense because there were six who left hearts, like couldn't really say much beyond that, except her husband, maybe, I think.

Her husband was, I think, like paparazzi recently, like yesterday, and he was responding to questions.

You know, like when paparazzi's ask you a question, nobody answers them.

John Legend was answering them.

They were like, how was Chrissy?

And he said she was doing great.

Okay.

Cool.

Anyways, just, I want to highlight the mindlessness, you guys.

Like, I, I see it.

We hear, like, we're all in this together.

And I just feel like we need to start pushing pushing back.

Yeah.

And saying we're not interested.

And don't give them your clicks.

Like, if they, because there's power in your clicks.

And if their mindlessness, moronic,

idiotic content gets clicks, they'll keep perpetuating moronic, idiotic content like that.

There is power.

Use your clicks to your advantage.

Click on meaningful articles, okay?

Yeah.

Click on meaningful articles.

It's just crazy how, like, as a society, we're so advanced technologically.

And like all of these interesting things.

Self-driving cars.

All of these interesting things are happening.

Yet like people magazine is right let me just go to their homepage today see what they're up to because there's like no news today it was so offensive bleak out here

so bleak

what's the like first article on the homepage paula abdul recalls how straight up began in a shower i guess that her song straight up she said it changed my life

the life-changing shower

oh oh wait here's number two

blake shelton and gwen stefani are ecstatic about their wedding says a source they can't wait.

That's so unique.

That's surprising that they would be ecstatic about their wedding.

And I don't think anyone's ever kind of like had that feeling before.

That's so rare, you know, to be excited about your wedding.

Ooh, chills.

Yeah.

So that's just like what you need to know today.

That's your mind.

That's the briefing of your mindlessness.

But there's more mindlessness to come after the Fast Five.

So I think...

I think without further ado, do, do, do, do, it is time for the Fast Five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

And we've gone out of our way to make sure that they are as least mindless as possible.

But again, Slim Piggins out here.

Okay, first story.

Victoria's Secret is getting a makeover.

The company announced on Wednesday that it has rebranded by launching two new initiatives, the VS Collective and the Victoria's Secret Global Fund for Women's Cancers.

So the Angels are out.

The VS Collective is in.

It features Priyanka Chopra, Megan Rapinoe, and many other accomplished women who share a common passion to drive positive change, Victoria's Secret announced in a press release.

I think it's Megan Rapino, first of all.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Second of all, in the words of Jojo.

It's just a little too late, a little too long, and I can't wait.

You know all the right things to say, but you know it's just too little, too late.

Like, literally, this is that TikTok sound.

I'm going to be honest with you.

We really don't give a fuck.

Like, we have so moved on from you.

Like, we're on Sports Illustrated.

We're wearing third love.

Like, we're so done with you and these, like, half-baked attempts.

Like, leave us alone.

And honestly, I don't need Priyanka Chopra.

I don't need all these peep celebrities.

I need a big titted bra.

And you're literally never going to give me that.

Like, so just, we're done.

Like, we are over.

We need a new word for over.

Where's it from?

We're so over.

Like, we need a new word for over.

Oh, that's a good quote.

Yeah, what's it from?

Can you go to the next one?

I don't know.

It's not going to come to me.

In the meantime, the Victoria Seeker Global Fund for Women's Cancers will donate at least $5 million annually to examine and address racial and gender inequities and unlock

new innovations that improve cancer outcomes for all women.

Meanwhile, the VS Collective promises to work with their new brand ambassadors to create new associate programs, revolutionary product collections, compelling and inspiring content, and rally support for causes vital to women.

In another

article that I read yesterday, I saw something in there about a podcast.

Oh,

the thing is, is that while that all sounds really lovely, like it does, it just, everything from Victoria's Secret

seems so disingenuous.

And like, it's just

like, okay, 2021 is the year like you want to like lift up women when you've literally been at the core of like women's.

the the female like industry for the last 15 years.

Like I just, I don't buy it.

No, I don't buy it either.

Also, like I feel like it's just so,

it's so inauthentic.

And I feel like there's a way that they could have attempted to do this while still like

not trying to be something that they're clearly not like.

Even like, why did they, they can't.

Why'd they get rid of the angels?

Why'd they get rid of it?

That's literally what I was going to say.

The fashion show and the angels were like one of the things that at least made them distinct.

And so like.

So they refused to be diverse, so they just ended it.

Why can't the angels include these women?

Yeah, no, like that's, to me, that's like so inauthentic.

Like what everyone loved about it was this fantasy and you refused to make that fantasy inclusive.

so now in an attempt to rebrand you're still refusing to do that like right right you haven't changed at all right you're saying that the fantasy can't be inclusive still right so they said like you know they wouldn't have you know size inclusive uh models or transgender models because it doesn't fit the fantasy and they're they're obviously standing by that

totally like this is so inauthentic what movie is that quote from

the city carrier oh

yes carrie says it's too big in the hospital

when natasha broke her teeth and they were like having an affair i wish it was from something else me too i just thought it was like gonna be from like laguna beach i thought it was gonna be from like another cinderella story or something yeah damn but anyways back to victoria's secret i've also this is one of like the most intensive rebrand attempts in a while that ever perhaps to literally do a complete 180.

so it will be interesting from a branding perspective to see if they have success with this if people will buy into it literally buy into it like they're they're almost they're like close to bankruptcy i don't know how they're hiring all these fancy celebrities yeah i I don't know either.

And I just like need to know more about this podcast.

And of course, like if any brand wants to, you know, start being more, it's really, it's wonderful.

But there's just something about Victoria's Secret.

Maybe it's because I've never been the target demo.

Like I've, no matter what my weight, like I've always had enormous jugs that are not going to be in like a froufrou lace.

Like I need a big crane.

We need military.

We need a bra.

We need military create a brand.

Bras.

We need brands.

And so maybe that's why I just like hate this brand because I've never felt represented by them but i've always loved that fantasy i was like yes i want to walk into victorious fashion show one day and i don't know the fact that they're just like not keeping that alive because they didn't want to diversify who walks in it is like so lame so lame and just like and now they're like totally pivoting like their brand even like this vs collective um imagery is just like the anti-victoria secret which was like colorful and all these different things and now they're like taking themselves so seriously and it's like there's a way to just amend your original plan to make it just add it up, yeah, without just like copy and pasting, yeah, from another brand campaign.

I just think it's important that we all remember when Barbara Palvin was the plus-size model at the Victoria Secret fashion show and they thought they were being inclusive.

When literally she had the most sickening body, like so modely, and she was the plus-size one.

Yeah, that was their way of being inclusive.

I think she was literally a size four, maybe a six.

That's insane.

Insane, Especially when you think of like the target demo for Victoria's Secret.

Victoria's Secret is like the most American brand.

There's one in every mall in America, and the average American woman is a size 16.

Like, how they're so dumb will never just like sit well with me.

No, and to me.

Business is business.

To me, this is a miss.

We're calling bullshit.

It's a hit and a miss, yeah.

But they're going forth with it, so we'll see what happens.

A swing in a moment.

Maybe we're wrong.

I would love to be wrong.

Like, I really would.

But, like, we're just like not buying this phony ass bullshit, you know?

Yeah.

Bring back the angels and just like throw some people in there.

Bring Lizzo, Ashley Graham.

Like, let's change it up.

Yeah.

Some queens from Drag Race.

Like, they could have made it so sickening.

So amazing.

That was like a really good idea.

Like, I should be on the board.

100%.

Like, this is just a missed opportunity.

And I know they think they're doing something, but I really don't think that they are.

It's so inauthentic.

And it's like really them thinking like they're going to...

change people's minds because it's like such a 180 from what they used to where it's like we were never asking for anything like other than just a little bit of inclusivity.

Like, like, that's it.

Just like, you know, make bigger sizes, feature women from different backgrounds.

Like, that's really all we were asking.

And then you like, were so steadfast in your rejection of that idea that like now we're left with this, which just seems very fake to me.

Yeah, I agree.

Speaking of platforms that are just a little too late, podcasts are starting to come to Facebook next week.

Oh my God, you're kidding me.

What?

Facebook is planning to start rolling out its podcast product next week on June 22nd and eventually add a feature that'll allow listeners to create clips from their favorite shows.

Okay, that's a cute idea.

According to an email sent to podcast page owners and viewed by The Verge, I'm pretty sure we got this.

I did get a notification.

Got this email.

I got the notification on Facebook, like add your podcast to your page.

I mean, like, we will, but, like, no one's gonna listen to it.

Yeah, no.

Hosts can link their show's RSS feed up to Facebook, which will then automatically generate newsfeed posts for all episodes published moving forward.

You know what?

This isn't the worst idea.

It's just too late.

It's very late, but everyone keeps saying for different podcasts, like it's so late, it's so late.

But like podcasting is just like non-stop burgeoning industry.

So like it might feel too late, but like, I don't know.

This kind of actually seems like a good idea for people who spend a lot of time on Facebook, which is older people.

And older people do listen to podcasts.

Yeah, honestly, we should sync up our podcast.

Yeah, make sure to follow the Morning Toast on Instagram on Facebook.

Well, Instagram too, but our Facebook page in case you want to start getting your episodes in the video.

No, but I think like the people who are listening right now, like they know us, they know where to find us, but like maybe we'll show up for some Facebook Karens, like who want to just consume content.

Honestly, though, mindless news.

I feel like a year ago, like we had a high saturation of Karenhood in our audience, and I'm kind of all set on the Karens.

Oh, yeah, sorry.

I was just like using an I would have been begging a snake.

It's okay.

No, I understand.

Anyways, these episodes will show up on a podcast tab that doesn't appear to be live yet, but the company teased in a wider announcement about audio initiatives in April.

Speaking of audio initiatives, it's looking like this episode is going to be audio only.

What's the the matter?

Are we okay?

And we're just going to power through.

Okay.

So that's pretty exciting podcast news.

I just feel like right now there's a big spotlight on podcasts.

Like, and I'm excited about it, but it's like a little nerve-wracking.

No, I like it.

Like, it just feels like a lot of change.

Like, things were,

things were going well.

I know, but there is a lot of change.

We recently announced, I think, on an episode that Apple was launching their own subscription pro like service.

So with Spotify.

So Spotify, Spotify's snatching up all these podcasts.

Like the streaming wars have now ended and the podcast wars are beginning.

Yeah, so like I'm, I'm, we're on this ride.

We'll be wherever things go, but it's just crazy to think about in a year from now, like maybe the Apple charts like won't really mean that much.

They don't really mean that much right now.

I always think they're an interesting indicator because they're not, they can't be that far off from

actual figures.

From actual figures.

And I think the reason why I find Apple charts interesting is because like pretty much everyone's job on social media, if you're an influential person is to make it seem like you're so influential and podcast numbers are not public so like people are promoting their podcast like it's you know the greatest thing since sliced bread and then they don't crack the top 200 charts I'm like okay great you're just like faking it but you really can't hide from the podcast charts no you can't so I find them interesting because Podcast numbers are private.

Like, you don't know how many streams and episodes gets, how many listeners.

It's the only

indicator of like what's going on in this space, which is interesting.

So, we'll see you on Facebook podcasts.

You know, I'm totally setting this up when I get home.

Yeah, totally.

You know, and that's like we can change our mind about a story upon learning new information.

Normalize changing your mind upon learning new information.

That is my favorite quote of all time.

Definitely.

Are you ready for our next story?

Yeah.

It's pretty funny.

Okay.

You might have seen this.

Luann de la Seps confuses special ed for phys ed.

Oh my god.

I did see it's a cameo, correct?

It's a cameo.

I saw it on TikTok.

And honestly, like,

if it weren't so sad, it would be funny, but it's like not.

It's like, she's insane.

It's so sad and funny.

The Real Houses of New York City star appeared to confuse special education with physical education, aka gym class, in an undated video she made for a fan that is definitely a cameo.

Yeah, I saw it with the cameo logo on the bottom right.

She said, You teach special ed.

That's fabulous.

I love special ed because I'm a jock at heart.

I love sport.

I love sport.

Oh my god, I lost my mind when I saw saw this video.

She's like

so nuts.

Like

how, honestly, I get confused about things all the time.

Like I thought Rascal was a name.

Like we know that.

Yeah, things happen.

I don't understand how someone could

mess up special education and physical education.

Yeah.

I don't know either, but it is done.

And then literally coming off the heels where Luann is claiming to be the most educated person.

Right.

It's just like not a good, it's not good timing for Lou.

It's not a good look, but you know what?

It's very like Rahoni.

It's very Lou.

This is honestly something like Ramona would say.

Yeah, but you know what?

Like, don't bring Ramona into this.

She did not make this mistake.

No, she did not.

Oh, my God.

This is so funny.

And honestly, one of my favorite types of celebrity viral stories is when a cameo goes viral.

Oh, my God.

Like Happy Manukau.

Chickie Robinson.

Chinuca, is that what she said?

Chinuka, yeah.

And he'd never heard of Hanukkah before in his life.

Or the way that it was spelled was just not what he was used to seeing.

So I just love these particular stories.

And this is an insane one.

So thank you for bringing this up.

and just thank you.

Also, speaking of cameo, we were talking about it last week or was it this week?

I don't know.

This week seems like forever because Dave Portnoy just

decided, woke up and decided to go in on

cameo

and said that cameo is for losers.

And if you ever see him on cameo, just know that he's bankrupt.

And I thought that was really fucking funny.

I mean, as someone who's...

dabbled in cameo, it wasn't entirely incorrect.

No, and it's like, I've been on cameo.

I've received cameos.

like cameo is really fun, but like, I think a lot of people feel that way about celebrities.

Like,

if you're on cameo, like, things aren't looking good.

No, but cameo really does have a very, very great feature.

Um, if you want to do it for charity, yeah, no, for sure.

Like, Andy Cohen did it, I was like, what?

But he was doing it for charity.

Okay, next story, a little Kanye and Irena news.

Us magazine is reporting that Kanye West made the first move with Irena Shake.

He loves that she's laid back.

A source says that.

Wait, are you saying she's not like other girls?

I is that what us was saying?

They're saying that he said about her.

And Kanye loves a girl who's not like other girls.

Kim is really not like other girls.

No, no.

Oh, no.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

I just didn't know me and Irina Shake had so much in common.

Like, we're

so laid-back, not like other girls.

I knew.

When I think of Irina Shake, I'm like, it just reminds me of my sister.

Yeah, I could see that actually.

Okay, source says they've been dating for a couple months now, from talking to meeting and now taking a trip for his birthday.

Kanye loves that Irina is very easygoing and a laid-back person to be with.

The source exclusively reveals that he was the first one to reach out.

He thinks that they could be a very chic power couple.

He loves that she carries clout in the fashion world.

That's like a really losery thing to say.

I don't think Kanye said that.

No, he's not going to be a little bit more.

He loves that she was.

She's

that she carries clout in the fashion.

But what was the first thing?

She's a chic.

He thinks they could be a very chic power couple.

I just want to say, I don't even know Kanye.

I just know he would never say that.

No, that's like such a fucking, that's something that a loser says.

Like, not someone who's a powerful person.

Right.

Like, a power.

I would say that.

Like, no.

Like, someone who's not chic and has no clout would say that.

Not someone who's literally the definition of power, elegance, chicness, and clout.

Like both of them.

Kanye would never fucking say that.

This, honestly, I'm calling bullshit on this mindless article.

I completely agree.

I could just see Kanye in his ranch in Wyoming being like, I think I'm going to jade Irena Shake.

Like, we could be like a chic power couple.

Like, what?

No, I totally agree.

That's like this person projecting from their basement.

Yes.

Just like mindless news, added spiness.

We have nothing to say, so we're going to make shit up.

Projection.

That's what it is.

Yeah.

That's what you think.

My God, like that quote just rubbed me the wrong way.

But what was the point of the article?

There's no news today, so let's talk about Kanye and Irina.

No, but like, what was the message that's supposed to be that he loves that she's laid back and that they've been dating for a few months and that he made the first move.

You know what's so funny when I think of Irina Shake, like I don't necessarily like the word laid back does not come to mind.

Again, I don't know her.

We've all seen the pictures of them like fighting on the beach.

Wimbledon.

And fighting on the beach.

Okay, literally, I cannot think of Irina Shake without thinking of Wimbledon.

Yeah.

That, because honestly,

I have nothing in common with Irita Shake.

You have so much.

She's skinny.

I'm fat.

She's tall.

I'm short.

She's stunning.

And I have my days.

But I have never related to a woman more than those pictures of her and Bradley Cooper like fighting and being miserable with each other at Wimbledon.

Because honestly, if you've been in a relationship for a while, like you have been there.

You have been out in public and you literally want to like slit your fucking partner's throat and you can't even look at him and like your face is so fucking miserable.

And there just happened to be paparazzi around, like, that is horrible.

Sometimes,

I actually was at to dinner with my friends last night, and I said this.

I'm like, because someone was saying how they ran into like a couple and they just like looked so miserable together.

I'm like, honestly, like, they're probably fine because, like, you could run into me and bed together, and like, you would tell everyone we're getting divorced.

Like, so when you're with someone so long, you just like don't feel like smiling all the time.

You just want to be on your phone.

Honestly, normalized looking miserable.

100%.

Because, like, that's really

what we look like most of the time.

And the couples who are like at Wimbledon and just like smiling the entire time, even though they are probably internally miserable, like that's fake.

That's not real.

No, and you know what?

I think it was,

no, never mind.

Yes, agreed.

Great.

I'm glad that you agree.

No, like, honestly, I hate when people say that, like, oh my God, I saw so-and-so out with their girlfriend.

They looked miserable.

I'm like, okay, well, what do you say about me behind my back?

Because like me and Ben always look miserable.

Ben, you're obviously not in a relationship.

And we're not miserable.

But you wouldn't know what it feels like to sit at a table and be like, hey, I kind of look miserable.

Like, I hope no one like sees me looking this way.

Maybe if you had a boyfriend that you were miserable with, you would know what it's like.

Yeah.

But you don't.

Like, you're not going to be happy at every dinner all the time.

No,

I think that about myself all the time.

I'm like, damn, like, I look miserable, but like, I think pretending not to look the way that you feel, like, you're fake ass itch.

I think that all the time.

I'm like, you know, I have such a thirst for fame.

And then I'm like, sometimes, some days when I'm walking around with Ben, I'm like, I am so glad I'm not even remotely famous because like literally my nasty mug, like if Ben says something that pisses me me off and like I just like woke up on the wrong side of the bed like I am literally like gonna murder him and it's just for the best because if we were paparazzi like there would be rumors about us all the time yeah for sure so we're fine just like miserable you know which is how most people

such is life such as life no one's happy 100% of the time and the people who that pretend that they are are fake as fuck um I saw a really interesting quote on tick tock that like really struck me oh please Fran Leibowitz quote I love a quote and I ran I not ran into I don't know her I saw Fran Leibowitz on on the street the other day and it was like an iconic moment.

Can you share the quote?

Yes, because I forget what the interview was, but you know, she's like from a different era and they were talking about like trigger warnings and she had never heard that phrase before.

And she was like, being offended is just a consequence of getting out of bed.

And it's like such a good call because she like didn't believe in trigger warnings.

And like I have my own opinions about trigger warnings.

Like of course, I don't want to trigger anyone, but like a part of life is like seeing things that trigger you.

And I just thought it was a really like funny, elegant way of saying why she doesn't agree with trigger warnings.

That's really funny and elegant.

Yeah, funny and elegant.

Speaking of people that you spotted, yesterday on my way to work, I saw Matt, James, and Rachel walking down the street.

Very cool.

It was early in the morning, and they were like,

well, should I share where I saw them?

I don't think so.

I don't think so, but nothing like crazy or anything like that.

We just don't want to give away a local.

Giving away shit.

Giving away my location.

Arshan, super fans.

I wouldn't want you guys to show up and get a former toaster energy.

I wouldn't want you guys to show up and get a picture of me looking miserable.

Um, so I just saw them on the street, like they're in New York and they're like doing things early in the morning.

Just want to tell you guys.

I think that's like the craziest

ending of a story I've ever experienced because we were on the journey for the whole thing.

Yeah, no, now they are just like back together, moving in together.

Couldn't be more serious, couldn't be more in love.

Also, we said we would update you on bachelor ratings because we gave you the ratings from the season premiere was 3.6.

This week's episode dipped down to 3.2, which I didn't think was so terrible from like premiere to episode two.

No, just keep, just wait.

Keep your breast.

Yep.

Are we ready for our fifth and final story?

That's our final day.

Finally.

That's our, you know, interesting news of the day.

Something not so mindless, something that we can really sink our teeth into.

It's the final story.

Yeah, I'm ready.

Now I feel ready.

I'm really looking forward to getting your thoughts on this.

Human composting, a new end-of-life choice, turns bodies into soil.

You can rejoin the natural cycle.

Isn't that what like burying your body does?

Well, you have a casket.

Yeah, but it all like degrades eventually.

And you do become one with the earth.

Isn't that the point?

Eventually, spiritually, you become one with the earth, but here you are becoming one with the earth.

You will become some fertilizer.

When is this story from?

This story is from today.

Okay, because I swear to God.

We've had this conversation before.

Like on the morning breath.

Like literally so long ago.

I'm having deja vu.

Yeah.

Do you get deja vu?

So this story is about a woman who heard about this new end of life process and said she was really moved by the idea.

It just felt right.

You know who I feel like is going to do this next?

Harry.

Yes.

Oh my god.

How did you know I was going to say that?

Because it all comes back to the top of the episode.

Yeah.

She said she loves the idea of helping other people.

Is it a tree, a flower?

Whatever.

Go thrive.

I'll have had my turn.

After my death, it's their turn.

See, I understand wanting to help people when you pass away, giving organs.

You know, limbs, whatever you can do.

I'm not really understanding how turning your ashes into a tree helps people.

It's not your ashes.

It's your body.

Because, okay, turning your body into a tree.

Trees can grow without your soil.

Like, okay, organs cannot get donated without your body.

Like, that is a meaningful way to activate your own.

I do hope that becoming human compost like automatically means that you're donating your organs.

You better.

Like for real.

For real.

You better.

Yeah.

But here's why this story sounds familiar.

Last year, recompost began transforming bodies to soil after Washington became the first state to legalize the practice of human composting.

And I think that's the story we reported that it was legal.

More formally known as natural organic reduction.

Before that, end-of-life options in the U.S.

were limited to burial or cremation.

Yeah.

Both of which come with environmental costs.

Or for yes, if you're Walt Disney.

So I feel like this is good for people whose like mission in life is to like leave the smallest possible imprint on the environment.

Do you want to hear an interesting fact?

For me, for personal reasons, I just love using this as an excuse.

Like I'm Jewish.

I have to be buried.

So I can't participate.

Do you want to hear an interesting fact?

Width U.S.

cremations alone dump 1.7 billion pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year.

Is it more environmentally friendly to be buried or to be cremated?

According to that stat, it's better to be buried.

Interesting.

And then also, like, if you put your, you know, ashes in the ocean, is that pollution?

Uh, well,

polluting the ocean.

No, but you're polluting the air with your carbon dioxide.

Yeah, just something to think about.

Just something to think about.

Like, there are people who really dedicate their lives to leaving like the least, like, no waste.

Some people don't have children because they say, like, we're overpopulating the earth.

Like, they, and so, this is a nice way for them to go out.

Yeah.

I personally won't be partaking, like, burying me with my plastic straws, but this is good for some people.

Yeah, no, for sure.

It reminds me of the episode of Politician.

Like, if you're showering,

if you're showering and using your shadow or water to make coffee, like, this is a really good option.

And by the way, the more I learn about people who have different life experiences than me, especially through TikTok, the more I realize, like, there are a lot of people who would do this.

Yeah.

And I love that because we should all have options.

You could find me at Mount Sinai in the ground.

Yeah.

Not in the wood.

In 120 years, knock on wood.

Sounds like a lot.

Okay, let's dive into the TV recap segment and then a little mindlessness.

Oh, okay.

That's going to be the order.

We're going to save the mindlessness.

Oh, you.

I'm just your show.

I'm in a newsy mood still.

Okay, okay.

So the mindlessness.

So I'm glad you brought it up.

I'm really excited because I am on the warpath against mindlessness.

Okay.

I feel so insulted this morning.

I can't even explain to you.

So when I search for mindless news, I literally just go to Kelly Rippa and then I click news on Google.

And I noticed something very interesting today.

Oh,

Kelly's mindless news, like the 4th of July.

Kelly's Mindless News has very little to do with Kelly's family, friends, and Kelly herself because there's pretty much no news that goes along with it.

We apologize to anyone we offend, but honestly, being offended is just a consequence of getting out of bed in the morning.

Wow.

Stunning.

Okay.

And then I noticed literally every fucking thing on the page was the exact same thing, okay?

People magazine.

Kelly Rippa wishes daughter Lola Consuelos a happy 20th birthday pick with a quote approved Instagram pick.

I saw that this morning.

Entertainment Tonight.

Kelly Rippa shares Lola approved Instagram pic in honor of her daughter's 20th birthday.

Yahoo.

Kelly Rippa posted a quote approved 20th birthday post for daughter Lola Consuelos.

Access Hollywood.

Kelly Rippa celebrates daughter Lola Consuelos' 20th birthday with an quote approved Instagram pic.

In style.

Kelly Rippa posted a 20th birthday post approved for daughter Lola Consuelos.

No, this isn't right.

She really should have got her daughter.

Daughter's approval.

And now I haven't even read the story, but I'm sure there's so much to unpack.

Okay.

No embarrassing mom here.

Before posting a birthday tribute for daughter Lola Consuelos on Instagram, Kelly Rippa had to make sure to get her 20-year-old stamp of approval.

The Live with Kelly and Ryan host 50.

Wow, I always forget she's 50.

She looks great.

Selected a black and white image of her daughter sitting on a towel with her knees curled up to her chest as she casually looked over her shoulder.

Even though Consuelos approved the pretty pick set in a tropical locale, Rippa couldn't help but poke a little fun at the sides of her daughter's feet in the photo.

Oh good, we're kink shaming.

Not kink shaming.

Sorry.

We're body shaming.

We're body shaming our children now.

Disgusting.

She couldn't help but poke a little fun at the size of her daughter's feet in the photo, which appeared larger thanks to the scale of the shot.

Happy 20th birthday to the little lady with the big feet at the youngest young.

She captioned the Instagram post.

It's just worth noting, like, the kids' feet look so averagely sized.

Yeah, no, it just looks like like due to perspective and angles the feet would look bigger than the rest since they're in the foreground then she continued we love you so much you are our favorite daughter no doubt this was the approved photo

oh you know it's crazy that's really crazy no like

crazy i just i can't and so that like literal useless mindless piece of information was written up in one two three

and you know what four five six, at least six major publications.

For the writers who traffic in Kelly's Mindless News, like I'm sure this was such a great day for them because they didn't even have to scrape the bottom of the barrel, like they had something to write about.

Yeah.

You know, but it's still so deeply and offensively mindless.

Mindless that I just thought it would be bringing up.

But again, no hate or offense to Kelly, her family.

Just more mindless.

It's a stunning indictment of the state of our media.

Of the state of journalism, and it actually has nothing to do with Kelly.

No, no.

I'm going to start a new section.

Rebels, mindless news.

Like the 4th of July.

Let's dive into our TV recap.

We're going to talk about Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and the series finale of Younger, brought to you by Hair Food.

So I love that Hair Food is just like doing it for you.

You don't have to go to the grocery store.

So the apple cider vinegar Herons is perfect for days when your hair needs a gentle cleanse before conditioning.

Thank you so much.

Feed your hair.

It's so important.

Your hair is hungry.

So important.

Okay, let's start with Real Houses at Beverly Hills.

We started with Erica.

I was like, wow, they wasted no time, like giving us everything we needed.

Boom, 24 hours before.

The longest episode of all time, literally nothing happened.

There was a quick snafu with Doreet and Kyle, and honestly, it was so mindless and stupid.

I didn't even decide to like take a side.

Like, I couldn't care less.

No, I couldn't care less, mindless and stupid, though I am on Doreet's side, because I hate being interrupted.

Actually, I get interrupted all the time.

No, I,

I am the Kyle tier, Doreen.

I was actually, I thought the same thing, but it doesn't, it bothers me once.

For every hundred interruptions, I think one bothers me.

Even condition.

If I'm really.

I just interrupted.

And I'm drinking it.

If I'm really on a rant and I feel like,

I don't know.

But sometimes when some people interrupt you, it really bothers me and I think that's how Darit feels about Kyle there's also a difference like they weren't talking to Kyle they weren't talking to her like she was not in the conversation and then she like wanted to be the center of the conversation and like I could see how that's annoying yes and then Kyle crying like are you kidding me it was so silly but also I could see the last time they had this argument where she said to Doreet you talk too much like you talk too slow like blah blah blah I could see why Darit now has like a thing up with Kyle about this.

So like sometimes, yeah, maybe if someone else said it, Darit wouldn't take offense offense to it because they know that she knows that they don't feel that way about her.

But I understand why Darit was annoyed.

Like that's something that would just make probably annoy me if it wasn't Claudia.

And I really thought Doreet made a great point.

And I'm glad that she left because Kyle like literally is making such a big deal out of this being like, are you my friend?

And

Darit was like, I didn't say any of that shit to you last year when you said fuck you like three times in a row.

Like she's making it such a big deal.

Like this is possibly the end of their friendship.

Where it's like, come on, we all go tit for tat and like you're going to make this into a whole thing.

You've done worse to me and I don't make it into a whole big chibang.

100%.

I was so glad Darit referenced that because I had forgotten about it, and she was just making great points.

I'm glad that she left, making Kyle's sad party even sadder.

And I think Kyle was really upset that Darit left because, like, her party just became incredibly

sad, irrelevant, and it was just like a such a weird evening.

Nobody dressed up, nobody dressed up, it was anticlimactic.

The whole episode was anticlimactic, and literally, that party was just like a mere um example, like a microcosm of the anticlimacticism.

Like,

oh, the election, nobody won that night.

Oh, the episode Erica.

We never even got to see her.

Like, it was just all this hype and no.

No substance.

Yeah.

What's that line?

All talk.

No action.

Yeah, what's that from?

Clueless?

That's just like that.

No, but I know someone's infection.

It's a thing.

Yeah, it's a thing.

No, it's like, oh, whatever.

I know what you mean.

Like, someone's inflection is terrible.

Yeah.

Oh, I got it.

It's totally different and it makes no sense.

Long pause, no answer.

Yeah.

From confessions of a shalbaholic.

Yes.

And she's not supposed to repeat it, but then she goes, long pause, no answer.

Amazing.

So yeah, what else to discuss about the episode?

Also, I felt like, um, so Crystal and Rob came to the party and it was nice to see like Rob meet the guys, but I really felt like he was not meshing with them and thought they were like annoying and weird.

And yeah, he's like a little mature.

And like, I think he's just feeling very new to this.

And PK and Mauricio know like you're just supposed to be silly.

Like that's what the husbands on Beverly Hills bring, like the silliness.

Mauricio smokes pot.

pot.

Like, it's not that serious.

Whereas, like, Rob hasn't figured that out yet.

And he seems like a very serious guy.

And he was just, like, not jiving with them whatsoever.

Yeah, definitely.

And then Crystal shared a personal story about her struggle with eating disorder, which I thought was really brave of her to share with the women, especially so early on.

And I thought that was a really nice moment.

Yeah, I thought so too.

And

I

think her husband was even surprised that she brought it up because, and I feel like it wasn't something they really even talk about a lot but it like started that conversation in their household yeah which is which yeah which was nice to see um Kathy Hilton was honestly like a nice

reprieve from everything but she's really giving me everyone's like obsessed with her and I and I get it but she's giving me nothing but she is friend of yeah she's not there to give you that much that's true yeah

no Kyle crying on the PJ was so Like embarrassing for her.

Yeah.

It was so stupid.

No, and that conversation in her house I felt was embarrassing for her with Dorit because Darit just like owned her.

And that's not really what Darit's known for.

Yeah.

So it must have been like a really weak argument.

That's so true.

Also, the brunch taking place in

Sutton's house is so weird to me.

And it looks like so bad.

Like, yeah.

And those mannequins, like, that was a haunted house.

Like, it was turned.

So strange.

I really feel like Sutton is getting, like, got a lot of...

placement this episode.

Yeah, her store.

I literally forgot that she had a store.

I know.

It was just like the party was so lame.

And honestly, like, Lisa Rinna is just bothering me so much.

Like, I can't explain.

Like, she has to, like, make the biggest deal.

Okay, they wore the same dress.

And now I'm just like, okay, Lisa Rinna is so unoriginal.

She's now shown up twice in the same dresses.

Like, whatever the dress of the season is.

I had one thought.

Just relating back to Housewife and the Hustler, because in the last few minutes, when the women start to have a conversation of the divorce, and everyone is saying they never saw this coming.

They were so in love.

It's the sort of relationship that you aspire to.

And

Garcel said, why wouldn't she just wait?

And in my head, I thought they were talking about like wait till the lawsuits die down.

Because she was saying, wait till he just drops dead.

Wait till he dies.

And

given that his now defense is that he has Alzheimer's,

it negates Erica's filing for divorce.

Because if her husband was really the love of her life 20 years, all of a sudden his health is going south, she would not file for divorce.

No, Jackie, there's so much going on.

It just gave me another window into us trying to get information.

No, and we got literally not one fucking ounce of anything.

Yeah, so either the divorce is fake or he doesn't have Alzheimer's.

That's what I'm which we knew, but it was just another.

He definitely doesn't have Alzheimer's.

Yeah, which is, it's just like more

proof.

Proof, but like lines of thinking.

Yeah, so we got literally nothing.

And if we get nothing next week, I'm going to be so annoyed.

That to be continued was so fucking unnecessary.

We're going to get a preview for next week.

Yes!

So what's to know what we're going to get?

I'm really annoyed.

I'm really annoyed today.

Yeah, I feel like maybe because of the documentary, like they're changing next week's episode.

I know that sounds like really paranoid paranoid of me, but like they've never not given us a premiere.

That's literally how housewives work.

You know what?

I hope that if that's what they're doing, I hope that that's the case because it's really frustrating when the view when there's so much going on in real life and you don't change the show accordingly.

So, maybe they have footage that maybe, you know what?

I hope that that's the case.

Watch what happens live.

The what?

I think the preview.

The preview aired during Watch What Happens Live.

I didn't make it to Watch What Happens Live.

Also, I just think it's worth mentioning, Andy Cohen spoke about it on his radio show, The Housewife and the Hustler.

Yeah.

He dismissed the Erica Girardi documentary as questionable.

So I think he had some good points, but also not.

He said,

I will say that Danielle Staub and Dana Wilkie are the experts in this documentary about Erica is questionable at best.

So I kind of realized I wasn't going to learn anything, any news from them about Erica.

The Tom Girardi stories continue to be deeply disturbing, and we have to see how this plays out.

I don't think that documentary will affect her future on the show.

I agree with him pretty much on all counts.

If it's just the documentary and we never got another shred of information,

it's not enough to prove that she knew and that she was like committing criminal activity.

But like he said, we have to see how it plays out.

And my theory based on what we do know so far is I don't see it ending well.

Well, she's not.

She doesn't even have a lawyer right now.

Right.

So you never know.

But as of right now, like there's no reason why she should be fired because we have to see how it plays out.

Yeah.

I also want to talk about younger.

And I just, I want to know how vague I should be like with you.

Be pretty vague.

Okay.

But like.

It it was so rushed and so stupid.

And I literally was so confused at the end.

I went on Instagram live yesterday because I was like, someone explain to me what just happened.

And it's not Game of Thrones.

It's not like a complicated show.

Like, I shouldn't have had a hard time understanding what went down.

And it's not that I even care about like how it ended.

Like.

Because you just hate Liza so much.

Like you literally don't give a shit.

But like, it was like in the last 10 minutes, everyone's life plans just changed.

And like, happy ending forever.

I'm like, it was just so stupid.

Yeah.

And so confusing.

Like, I didn't understand that last scene with Liza.

I just didn't get it.

And I'm like, I felt like the show, like, there was just no thought put into the ending.

And it's sad because like I feel like I've invested a lot of my time.

And I feel like the show actually for a while was really, really good.

And they just decided to like give this careless ending.

And I wanted to see like them in five years.

Like, there was just like nothing.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

I probably won't watch because I think the best episodes are behind us.

So can I tell you?

No.

No, because also for the viewers.

It was only three nights ago.

Everyone already watched it.

No, they didn't.

A lot of people are saving it.

You know, we're busy watching Why Women Kill, which I just finished the first season.

I'm saving the next season until there's more out there.

And it was just such a good show.

Really treat.

They wrapped it up so nicely.

It got better as it went on, right?

It's like a mini-series the first season, and it was so fucking good.

Like, I'm so glad.

Which story ended up being your favorite?

Oh, probably Simone.

It just had the most.

Is that Lucy Lou?

Lucy Lou.

It had the most heart.

Oh, my God.

It was so sad when he was just like getting sicker and sicker.

It was really, really sad.

But But like, I thought that that was like the most, the other stories were a little more like parody of different genres where, you know, like the murderer, Jennifer Goodwin.

But that was good too.

It was real.

No, I liked it so much.

And even the modern day couple, like, it just became like this like thriller

all of a sudden like horror film.

So I just thought that there was like so much love

in Lucy Lou's story.

I agree.

Like I actually got choked up.

Yeah, it was really beautiful.

So it was an amazing season.

And she was like so humbled like by the whole experience.

Like it was just a great thing.

It was transformative.

And so I would highly, highly recommend it.

Also,

oh, and then I started reading Lala's book.

Oh, how was it?

It's really good.

I'm really enjoying it.

Like the Vanderpump rules, just like from her POV.

Yeah.

just well she got a had a rough go around when she in the beginning walked onto the show yeah yeah so just knowing everything that led to there and like how she goes from like those relationships like specifically with katie like yeah to me to where best friends where they are now Like, I'm really, I'm halfway through the book, so like, I'm excited to get to that part where things change.

Yeah, that sounds good.

Yeah.

Um, that's our show.

Like, we did it.

We did it.

That's our show.

Um, don't get it fucking twisted.

No, and I don't think that you really could because I think a lot of people are gonna go with the mindlessness that's circulating.

No, today's episode is mindlessness 101.

Yeah,

intro to mindlessness to mindlessness.

That was weird.

History of mindlessness.

Like, we're literally teaching college courses.

Mindlessness 101, intro to mindlessness, history of Mindlessness, Mindlessness and Culture.

Yeah, Mindlessness in Culture.
