Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the morning toast.

Happy Tuesday.

Hope everyone's having an amazing day.

Spring has sprung in New York and we hope you're just living it up.

It is a beautiful day.

It's really feeling like it's shaping up to be a beautiful week, Claude.

Yeah, I mean,

I'm like,

I'm really having a hard time.

Like, my entire week consists around my sleep schedule.

Like, I take my sleep schedule so seriously.

And I just cannot get on like a good journey.

And it really affects like my mental health and just like my physical well-being the next day.

Like, last night, could not go to bed all fucking night.

The second I fall asleep, Ben wakes me up.

Why?

He goes, Theo keeps jumping off the bed.

I think he has to pee.

So I'm like, oh, fucking take him out.

What does it look like?

My problem?

And he didn't.

I just went back to sleep.

But like, I was just entering an REM cycle.

Like, and so then, like, Ben was like futzing with Theo the whole night, like, worried about him, like, he was going to die or something.

I'm like, he literally just had to pay.

So it was just like a journey and a half.

And I don't know why Theo had to pee at five in the morning because that's like not something he usually has to do.

But he had to pee.

Like when nature calls, she fucking calls.

And Theo answers when nature calls.

And Theo said, Yo, bitch, I got to pee.

He picked up the phone.

So my REM is like all off.

I feel like my face looks so puffy.

Like, I'm just unwell today.

Well, I'm I'm so sorry.

I'm on a journey to mental and physical wellness.

And I invite you to join me because I invited you last night.

I'm very much considering doing a wellness retreat.

Good for you.

And I'm really excited.

I was dreaming about the retreat last night, and I think I should do it.

I like so support it.

Just I think it's like a little overpriced.

That's my only kind of stipulation.

It is.

And why I won't personally be going.

Yeah, no, it is overpriced.

Like, they clearly know they can charge these crazy prices because like people are paying.

And you're missing a few.

We're like, we have some vacation time coming up at the end of the month.

And I think I'm going on a retreat, you guys.

Have the best time.

It's going to be like very eat-prey-love.

I think I should watch that movie before I go.

Have you ever watched it?

No, have you?

No.

It just like looks so stupid.

No, totally.

Actually, speaking of movies.

I feel like it's going to make me not want to go.

100%.

Speaking of movies that like I should have seen but never had, yesterday I decided to watch a movie that I can't believe I haven't seen.

But it just like came up on Netflix.

I'm like, you know, it actually looks good.

It was like country vibes i watched broke back mountain for the first time ever and everyone was like i remember when it came out and it was like getting oscar buzz it was like oh my god gay sex like everyone was like eh it was literally like the most

like now like there's so much sex on tv like it wasn't even that crazy like you didn't even see butt or anything like it was yeah totally fine but it was such a big deal at the time it was such a big deal at the time and the movie was amazing honestly it was so sad like i didn't know that's what i was signing up for like i was getting really choked up at the end Star studded.

Tell me if you knew this.

Ann Hathaway is like a major character in Brookback Mountain.

No, I don't think I knew that.

Obviously, you knew Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, and it was obviously sad to watch Heath Ledger.

Also, Michelle Williams.

I don't, maybe I knew that.

I think that's where they met and they like fell in love, right?

Yeah.

It was just like a really interesting kind of moment in history.

And it's an excellent movie.

I highly recommend on Netflix.

I just, I don't know what compelled me to watch it, but I really enjoyed the journey.

Wow.

I'm so happy for you.

Thank you.

I didn't watch any TV yesterday.

I just got so booked and busy, you know?

That's like, that happens when you're stars like us, like meetings, meetings, meetings.

Meetings, meetings, meetings.

Well, I also watched Caught Up on RuPaul's Drag Race, and we made it down to the final four.

And it's just like Redhead's Madness, semifinals.

Exactly.

Just like it.

Just like it.

So I just really feel like it's so crazy.

This season has been so good.

And I think for the first time, this season is a season where like my favorites, like I barely even noticed in the beginning.

And like the ones that I loved, like honestly, my girls are Candy and Simone.

And they both made it it to the finale.

But if I'm just being like a good drag race fan, like I don't think either of them really deserve to win.

Like definitely not Candy.

And like Simone has just disappointed me so much in the last few weeks when she was like so clearly the winner from day one.

Like I've been saying that that's the one Rihanna messaged.

Like she's been so clearly, but she's just kind of like falling off.

Whereas Gottmick and Rose, I literally could not stand Rose, but she's been like acknowledging how she was like weird in the beginning of the competition because she didn't want anyone to say anything bad about her.

And now like she's really like coming to her own.

She's so talented.

Her and Gottmick have like been killing every single challenge.

Like even if they don't win, they're in the top two.

They both are just like so robust.

They're looks queens.

They're comedy queens.

They're acting queens.

They're music queens.

Rose is an amazing dancer.

I think one of those two should win.

And I never thought I was going to say that because I was like a Simone writer fucking die.

And as much as I love Candy Muse, like she barely made it in the top four.

Like she's not making it all the way.

But.

I don't know, Gottmick or Rose, like I would be happy with.

Well, if I've been listening correctly, you have been concerned with Simone for a while now.

I have, right?

You've been saying, like, every week, yes, Rihanna messaged her, but like, she didn't, has not upheld like the, she started off strong, and it's been downhill from there.

And in her confessionals, like in the last episode, she really

bald because she's like, I don't want that to be my story, like, that I fizzled out.

But I'm like, that's literally exactly what's happening.

She made it to the top four, so like, she didn't really fizzle out because it's still like a huge accomplishment.

But

I know, like, last season, like, I love the looks queens.

Like, Gigi Good, I loved, but she did not deserve to win.

Like, she was just a looks queen.

She really didn't do anything else.

Um, and so now I'm really focused on finding a queen who, like, checks all the boxes, and Gottmick and Rose, like, really check all the boxes.

I mean, if I'm going to make a prediction based on your recaps, like based on what you say week to week of who's, like, coming in strong, Gottmick.

Yeah, I mean, Gottmick is everything.

Like, first of all, she won Snatch Game, which is such a big deal.

She's also the first openly transgender contestant, I think, on the show.

I remember there was one other contestant who came out as transgender during the reunion.

I think she's the first, and that's why they've been changing a lot of the vernacular around, like, Rue has like these phrases that he says, like at the beginning of every challenge, he always says, and may the best woman win.

Now he says, may the best drag queen win.

So I think like Gomik's influence is like really powerful.

And she's like this young,

she's just like exactly what drag race needs.

Like she's this young.

She was just on the cover of like Attitude Magazine.

Like the community lives for her.

Like I do think Gottmick is gonna win.

I think so too.

And I like live for Got Mick.

When are the finals?

I don't know.

I think they do like

a special and then got it.

I forget, but usually it's live like in a ballroom in LA and like it's filled with like drag race fans and celebrities like Miley Cyrus went one year.

Like but they obviously can't do that.

And last year it was peak quarantine and they like filmed it at home on Zoom and it was pathetic like pah fucking pathetic like the worst but it was also the beginning of quarantine.

Like, they didn't know.

Yeah.

Hopefully, this year they can do it, like, I don't know, maybe at the Drag Race studio, like, yeah, yeah, something crazy.

Just no fans, no fans.

But it's, it usually is the best night of the year because, like, they all lip-sync for their lives.

So, hopefully, like, they make it a production because last year was just completely unacceptable.

But it was extenuating circumstances, of course.

Of course.

Okay, I'm excited for you.

But speaking of the finals,

Redhead Madness finals are today.

The polls are still open for the semifinals, but it does look like it's coming down to Before We Were Strangers versus Girl with no job.

No way.

Yeah.

Oh my God.

This is so unexpected.

Like,

it's honor.

I checked the polls yesterday and I didn't want to keep checking because like I just didn't want to like, I was very tempted to obviously like influence the polls like with my Instagram, but I didn't.

And I checked and it was like 40-50.

Like it just started.

So like I wasn't,

wow.

I just want to, I want to thank the Redheads, first of all, for believing in me, the Redheads host.

And And I want to thank the Redheads community for really, you know, as a first-time author, just like opening up to me and just accepting me for the author that I am.

I'm like literally getting choked out.

Like, I think I'm going to cry.

No, like, this competition has been fierce.

Fierce.

Twists and turns at every round.

And may the best book win.

100%.

100%.

Well, I don't want to like now say it and have like people go and like vote against me.

No, no, I mean,

like, you guys,

we need to protect the integrity of Redheads Madness.

100%.

So, stay voting if you have read these books.

And I do think it's a sign that you should read Before We Were Strangers because it's obviously like girls

in the quality.

Okay, that's done.

That's my next book.

I haven't even had one up on queue yet.

Sweet.

Fabulous.

Oh, also an update from yesterday's show.

I have been, you know, I stand corrected.

And I'm not too, you know, big of a woman.

in more of a literal sense because I'm obviously physically a big woman, but I'm not too big of a person to admit that I was wrong.

And I was super wrong about the historical

journey that Jackie's on.

I thought people would not be interested in, but the feedback is fierce.

And I listened to the feedback and the feedback says, no, no, no, we live for the historical journey and dance moms.

Like, get you a girl who can do both.

They said, we live for the historical journey.

Take us on it.

And they also said, Jackie, you will love dance moms.

So I know you're like really hesitant.

I will get you.

But Jill Vertes commented on our Instagram yesterday.

Like, I don't know how you can disrespect the name of Jill Vertes.

I wouldn't dream of it.

And I'm telling you, I will watch dance moms when it is my time.

I understand.

Today is not my time.

Okay.

But the time will come, I promise you.

Okay.

For when I'm just like looking for some light-hearted, dancey fare.

And I know you didn't even like mean to, but you, like, dressed like a dance moms contesting today with the low bun and like the athleisure.

Maybe not the Louis Vuitton boots, but.

Yeah, no, like it's a very athleisure look.

So I wanted to wear this sweater.

I like it.

And so you just need to like dress around the sweater.

And also it's like, I'm on my last day of hair before I need to wash it.

Same.

So it was was a low bun, which I haven't done in so long because I've been like living for doing my hair like with my Dyson.

But today I was like, fuck it.

My Dyson's been acting up.

I think it needed a few days off.

I like one of my biggest regrets in life.

I always say, you know, there's three stories I always share.

Dennis's funeral.

Turkey Baster.

Turkey Baster.

And I think I have my new one because one of my biggest regrets is obviously not getting in that police car.

Oh, of course.

Everyone knows that story.

So are one of the three going to be bumped from

the rotor?

No, that's my third.

Oh, okay.

So you say you have a new one.

Yeah, but it's really really not that big of a deal.

But my biggest regret, like dead ass, is purchasing a Dyson Air Wrap.

Like I think I'm probably one of the only people who thinks it's like an actual piece of shit.

And even if it worked the way that it did and it cost $200, it's still too expensive.

So the fact that they're out here having the audacity, nerve, and gall to charge people $600,

it's crazy.

It's so stupid.

And I've used it four times.

So I would have said completely agree up until two months ago.

You guys have probably like noticed the day I learned how to use my Dyson.

And now that I've learned how to do it, it's made the biggest difference.

I know how to do it.

Like, I've watched videos.

I've done it.

I thought I knew.

And you need to, like, I found the one thing that just makes my hair look like I got it blown out or that I was capable of doing a round brush myself.

And for me, who's not capable of doing that?

Me neither.

It is now worth it.

But you have to find, you have to make the Dyson, you have to listen to your Dyson and make it work for you.

I know, but it's like, I paid $600.

Like, I don't need to listen to you.

I know, but you need to take the time to curate the experience.

I'd rather just go to dry bar.

Really?

I find that to be the most painful thing you could do to yourself.

100%.

I haven't been to a dry bar in like four years.

I'm so glad, like, you know, as a society, especially in New York, like we came to the conclusion that dry bar is terrible and a waste of money.

And like we've all kind of moved past that phase of our lives.

Guaranteed to hurt your feelings in some way or another.

Yeah.

Or like physically hurt you like pulling your hair so hard.

Or like leave purple shampoo residue on your forehead when you're not even a blonde.

What?

Did that happen to you?

Mm-hmm.

I came home after like my ugly ass blowout

and I looked in the mirror and there was like purple on my forehead, which is what they use for

blondes to like preserve the color.

I'm like, I don't have dye in my hair.

I'm not even blonde.

What is the reason for the purple shampoo?

What was the reason?

I have no idea.

They wound up like giving me a free blowout, but it's like, oh, great.

Now I have to go back.

Actually, one good thing.

The one good thing about Dry Bar was those little sugar cookies they had at the front, but now because of COVID, they probably don't have that.

Yeah, so it's like the one good thing.

Or maybe they're more now like individually wrapped or something.

Yeah.

Yeah, no, I'm so glad we're over that phase.

But we digress.

The Dyson Air wrap, yeah.

Dennis's funeral, Turkey Baster.

Dyson's joining the Dyson's joining.

But I feel like Dyson needs to work its way.

Like those three, they didn't just one day we decided.

I know.

And it was a natural progression of things.

So many things bring you back to that story.

Yes.

And I had not heard your Dyson story.

I saw it on your Instagram once, but that's just not a pattern, mate.

No, but that's like my classic unpopular opinion like I literally fucking hate the drugs I think that's a different category than stories that you can't help but no but I'm just letting you know like I'm going to be bringing it up a lot like just to kind of prove like I'm so this like this quirky girl who like has different opinions than other people yeah you're just like contrary you know I'm just like so crazy you're just different from other girls honestly I'm not like other girls like at all like you know I drink beer bro and like I'm just I don't know, I just prefer to hang out with dudes.

Like, I'm a guy's girl, you know?

I don't think people think you're like other girls.

I just want you to know that.

No, No, no.

If I was like anyone else, like the world wouldn't be flowing.

It's fabulous.

No, it would not be able to handle like the torture that is me.

Like, I'm truly one of a kind.

Yeah.

We all are.

I think we're all one of a kind.

Oh my God, that Victoria Justice clip like will literally live in my head run for a no.

Anytime I use the word all, I'm Victoria Justice.

Yeah.

I mean, I think we all sing a lot.

And anytime I use the phrase for me, but not

for me.

Or if I'm Renford saying, you you know, the ambulance industry, call an ambulance, call an ambulance, but not for me.

So we have a great show for you guys today.

No TV recap because thankfully the batser wasn't on last night.

But tonight we have Wheelhouses of Dallas and then we have Kardashians and there's a lot of to keep up with in the news this week, especially the Kardashian drama of it all.

We have Kardashians tonight?

No, no, Kardashian news today.

Oh yes, we have a lot to discuss.

And so I think without a further a dodit did it do.

Do-do-do-do-do.

What song am I singing when I sing that?

Do-do-do-do-do.

Where are you?

Is it Scooby-Doo?

You on some vanged and left it.

What are the lyrics?

Scooby-Dooy-Doo.

It's the one.

Where are you?

You are so annoying.

Like, what is it?

I've never watched Scooby-Doo.

I never know.

I know him.

I'm sorry to this man.

And honestly, like, Thelma looks annoying.

I said it.

I fucking said it.

Oh, I think she's silent wow and living it up in the city okay did we have nope we haven't crunched yet without further do it do do do

Thank you for that, Claudia.

Such a great company.

Such a great company.

Okay, first story.

Even though we've known that Kim Kardashian is a billionaire, Forbes has decided that they too agree that Kim Kardashian is officially a billionaire.

Okay, Forbes is like that ex-boyfriend who like pretends he doesn't like you, but then like always comes back.

No, it's like pretends he's not like following you on Instagram, but it's like there.

Like acknowledging.

They should, like, after the disgrace that they did, like not only with the Kylie thing, they like are embarrassed that they called her the first self-made billionaire, then they got shit for making Kim a billionaire when she like wasn't or whatever.

Like all these kind of mishaps when it comes to the Kardashians, like going into their tax reports and saying that they lie about all their money, like they need to never mention the Kardashians again.

No, I know.

And I feel like we reported a few months ago that Kim was officially a billionaire.

Not from Forbes, but from other

veritable financial sources.

And now Forbes has decided that she is a billionaire, which we knew, but we've been knowing.

So she must be like a super billionaire if Forbes has to come to the table.

No, honestly, I'm...

I'm embarrassed for Forbes.

I'm so embarrassed for Forbes.

Aren't you embarrassed to be so messy when it comes to the Kardashians' finances?

Like getting in fights with them on Twitter and stuff.

Like Forbes is like really in the last year, especially like when it comes to the Kardashians, but now overall, like I take take their word just like so much less seriously ever since that and I found out that like they actually don't choose Forbes under 30 like people have to apply yes I totally agree and also a little more Kim business news is that she is getting into skincare yes she filed a slew of applications to trademark the name skin by kim on march 30th according to documents i love that name yes but it's sk n skin by kim i don't know i'm always very cautious of you know putting lots of k's together you know i just think it's not a good like road to go down but we have to learn from history and I'm just I'm afraid Kim is not learning like I get it like Kim Kardashian I guess it's also a big side because if I mean she's like probably changing her name because it would have had to be squin by Kim if she was still Kim Kardashian West but why couldn't it just be skin no I don't know maybe she couldn't get that trademarked I don't know I don't know but judging by the filing it will have skincare hair care nail products perfumes candles and more oh candles

And she has perfume.

So I wonder if they'll fall under, if KKW Fragrance will now fall under skin by Kim.

I mean, that would make more sense because I don't think the fragrance industry is like that.

big where she needs her own company kkw fragrances like the fragrances can fall under like kkw beauty even and i wonder if this is just a rebrand from kkw because she's no longer kkw oh my god that's such a good call and so the kk in skin right is like to emphasize that she's she's KK now and she's dropped the W.

A very interesting idea, but did it say that they're going to be selling beauty products?

Skincare, yeah.

Oh, I guess next.

No, like makeup palettes?

Yeah.

So will KKW Beauty stay KKW Beauty?

Then maybe skin covers every other category.

And then maybe like once skin picks up, merch.

Merge.

Oh, yeah.

Merge.

Merge.

Merch.

Joggers.

Merge.

Maybe once skin picks up, then the beauty comes on skin.

They merge.

Yeah.

And then they could sell merch

um yeah this is you know

do we need another brand no do we support and purchase yes we do so and do we continually follow the various business ventures of the Kardashian women yes yeah I mean it does feel like in a certain way for the Kardashians at least like the beauty space is like oversaturated for them and I feel like

Why skims is like so successful and I don't know for sure but skims has to be more successful than KKW Beauty.

Um, and that's because it's like a it's an untapped market within the Kardashian Empire.

So, like, this is just like for me, like, and they also say Chris Jenner's starting a skincare line, which is obviously different.

Um, it's just like a lot, like maybe like create like something like totally new and random.

Like, I don't know, like kids' toys, like something stupid.

I would say, I'm sure it feels like to us, like, it's a lot, but if the sales are there, why wouldn't they keep, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Why not keep up with demand if the sales are there?

If the sales are there, yeah.

But so, I'm assuming since they keep putting out new beauty stuff, the sales are there.

Well, I think for Kylie, like Kylie's skin and Kylie cosmetics are like

booming.

Staples.

What's so crazy is when she launched Kylie's skin, I was like, oh, this feels like excessive, but sure, whatever.

It's different.

And now it's like, I feel like Kylie's skin is so big and necessary.

And I think the way they launch it, like the branding is perfect.

Like it's so Gen Z.

It's so cute.

I feel like soon it could eclipse Kylie Cosmetics.

Like I feel like now

I just feel like based on my perception, if I were the next Kylie product I'll probably buy will probably be skin and not cosmetics.

I haven't really bought Kylie cosmetics in a while.

Like I support and love and I I just like it's not my type of makeup It's like Instagram makeup which is which is why it's so popular, but I go for like a more you know natural dewy look.

Yeah, I'm actually wearing um Kylie on my lips today.

Passionate lips.

My favorite color.

Yeah.

So this is interesting.

What was the first Kim story?

Oh, the billionaire.

Billionaire.

Happy for her.

Congrats on all your success.

Like

who are you dating next?

Like that's where my head is kind of at.

You know, I'm like, so happy for Kravis that I think, like, we need Kim to have that.

Yeah.

But, but, Kravis was an unexpected choice for Courtney, I think.

And so I just, I don't even want to start thinking about who I want Kim to be with because I just wanted to be someone I wouldn't think.

Yeah, well, because Kim obviously has a type.

Like, football players, rappers, like, that is her type.

So maybe it's time for her to step out of her box, you know?

Maybe a businessman Bo or a baseball player.

I don't know.

It's just something new.

I think, well, she did date a baseball player.

Who?

I think his name was Austin.

Miles Austin plays football.

No.

No.

She dated a baseball player.

Miles Austin.

Hold on.

Baseball players truly make the most money.

Football wide receiver.

Fine.

Miles Austin, right?

Yeah, yeah.

He was hot.

Yeah, yeah.

Kim.

I don't think she ever dated a baseball player.

Yeah, that doesn't like

sound like something.

She was.

I think a businessman bow.

No, of course.

I mean, look at her.

She's literally a businessman.

What's the female beau?

Huh?

bitch no excuse me but okay also thank you for bringing that up i am reclaiming the word bitch i can't deal with all these people getting offended like who's getting offended okay like literally a few years ago this is like i had the journey i've been on like two years ago i got into a fight with olivia at the regency hotel do you remember we were having like lunch and i called her bitch and like we were like like we were like in like a fake fight but when i was like bitch it like escalated it to a real fight when like i was like still joking and i obviously had to apologize for calling her a bitch but like I didn't call her a bitch I called her bitch which is so fucking different and I would just like to reclaim the word as like like a sister type of okay well if I may if I may interject here I was there I'm remembering it it's not as if you use like you call everyone bitch all the time no but like you guys were having words and then you threw in the word bitch so like sure you decided that you meant it in an endearing way but oh my god my blood is literally boiling because that's just like not what happened and like it was so it was like literally a joke until Olivia made it like not a joke okay I'm just saying like

context is key you know I'm just saying like female to female like bitch is like a great word like I think that we should kind of reclaim it of course like a man calling a woman a bitch is never acceptable that's not what I'm talking about I'm just saying like like if Kim's like like a business what businesswoman bitch like you know like I think that's fine really you okay I'm that's fine I have no issue with the word bitch but like you really think the phrase like businesswoman bitch is like something that you would like no it doesn't even work but you know what I mean I'm just saying like hypothetically you literally can't can't even, like, you hate the word.

Like, if I call, if I say, like, about.

That's like boss bitch.

Like,

oh, no, I just don't think businesswoman bitch is like the right phrase.

That's not the word I'm looking.

That's not like what I mean here.

What I mean is just like the word bitch is ours for the taking.

And like, I have already started the journey, and I encourage everyone to come along with me.

Okay, that I'm totally here for.

Thank you.

And I'm just going to leave it there.

I'm going to leave it there.

And it's there.

Goodbye.

Good day, sir.

Are you ready for our next story?

Sure.

Kardashian team is working hard to remove an unwanted photo of Khloe from the internet.

This is twisted.

This is.

Team Kardashian is going into overdrive to erase a private photo showing a side of Khloe few outside of the family get to see.

The image shows the reality star's face and body as she appears in a bikini by a pool without

what Page 6 thinks is the heavy editing and airbrushing that are mainstays of photos Kardashian normally puts on Instagram.

The shot, which Page 6 has confirmed is authentic, soon spread around the internet, but many copies of the photo were taken down under legal threats from the Kardashian camp, which called the image beautiful, but said they wanted it gone because it was unauthorized.

Tracy Romulus, who's the chief marketing officer for KKW Brands, said the color-edited photo was taken of Khloe during a private family gathering and posted to social media without permission by mistake by an assistant.

Chloe looks beautiful, but

it is within the right of the copyright owner to not want an image not intended to be published taken down.

Okay, so before we dive into this,

they say it was as an assistant.

My sources are saying it was MJ.

Does MJ have Instagram?

Can we, before we do anything, just like have a moment of silence for MJ?

Because after this, you know, fiasco she caused, I don't think she'll be invited to Easter ever again.

I disagree.

So let's just take a moment of silence.

I think MJ will be fine.

I think that this was 100% MJ.

Like, I could still see this happening.

She doesn't understand.

She thinks Chloe's beautiful.

Like, she puts up the picture.

no, a lot of people are really like feclampt from this scenario because it really highlights like how all of Chloe's other pictures are so edited.

They're comparing them to other bikini photos, um, and especially her face because she looks like a teenager in the photo.

Like, she actually looks like the way she used to look on like season one of the Kardashians, like 15 years ago.

So, people are getting really bent out of shape, and like, what does this mean?

You know, like, what are we, what message are they sending?

And I have really tried very hard to find a shit to give in my soul, and I do not have one shit to give.

Like, I

want to care, like, about what this says for the beauty standard.

I do, but I just don't.

I, I, so I guess people are upset that, like, this is what, like, I don't, this story makes me sad.

Like, this picture, I think she looks so great, and it's clear.

And I mean, you see all these like Instagram pictures where people show how, like, with the right lighting and the right angle, like, you can literally look like a different person.

And I think she's backlit here.

Like, no one would ever post a picture, no one, Kardashian or otherwise, would ever post a picture with this sort of lighting because it's just not the most flattering.

But also it's like, yes, sometimes Chloe's pictures, she definitely uses an app that puts a little more makeup on her face, whatever it is.

But we see her every week on the show.

And even if like in her confessionals, I don't think that they have video filters that they put on the girls.

And then we see her like in the Spartan race.

Like we see her from every fucking angle.

Like we've seen her.

We know what she looks like.

Sure, she looks a little different in her Instagram pictures.

Who the fuck doesn't?

I just don't think that this is, people like are making this such a big deal in general not just this picture like chloe's changing face but we see her we see what you look like like it's not that crazy to me yeah no and like i just personally don't care like okay you want to inject your face live your life you want to uh look like a different person in your photos live your life like i've never been the type of person to like jump on the train of being like you should get the new face like yeah get your own face like i really don't care like live your life but like what makes you happy do what you got to do protect yourself people are so mean out there like oh i wonder why we're all photoshopping our photos have you ever read some of the instagram comments on like a natural photo yeah

we're all like shocked like everyone's face tuning like we live in literally the meanest country in the world like of course she is

i just feel like we know what she like we see every facet of what she looks like so

no to me the most shocking thing about this is that Chloe looks like that because that looks like literally a picture from 2009.

Yeah, it's like she's changed so much, but but she's exactly the same.

Yeah, so it's like you guys think she changed her whole fucking face.

Like, right, so which is it?

Now, right, now it's right.

Did she change her whole face or not?

And I know this is probably just an unpopular opinion, but like, I just, I can't seem to care like about the message of it all.

Cause people are like really bent out of shape that like this is just like indicative of like how much you edit their photos and how they influence the beauty standard.

And it's like, don't judge someone like until you know what it's like to be them.

Like, I'm sure it's impossible to like be churning off these thirsty photos.

Like your entire business depends on it.

And, like, every time you do, like, people are commenting on the size of your ass, the size of your thighs, the size of your arms, the size of your neck, the size of your chin.

So, it's like, if this is what she has to do to protect her self-worth, like, I can't be bothered to give a shit.

I agree with you, but that's not like my initial thought.

My initial thought is, like, we know what these girls look like.

They show us all the time.

So, even if in one picture, it's a little bit different.

Like, they post videos, they're on TV.

Like, we see them from every single angle.

We know what they look like.

They can't hide.

They literally can't.

They write.

They go on like talk shows.

Yeah, that's fair.

They're filmed from every angle on their their show.

Like,

if you want to know what they look like, it's there for you.

They're not hiding.

But the things that they can control and the pictures that they do post, they're putting their best foot forward, like all of us.

But I do think that their attempt to scrub it from the internet made people more obsessed with the photo.

And like, that was their mistake.

I never saw this photo until you told me that this was a story.

Yeah, no, I didn't see the photo, and then I saw the headlines, and then I'm like, let me go find what photo they're talking about.

And I found it on Reddit.

Like, I think that always, it's always the cover-up, not the crime, you know?

Yes.

And I think that is true.

Here, speaking of crimes, Bravo will continue to film Jen Shaw's legal drama after fraud arrests.

As they should.

I disagree.

Jen Shaw may be facing prison, but her Real Houses of Salt Lake City drama is not going anywhere soon.

The powers that be at Bravo are planning to make the federal fraud and money laundering charges she faces a central part of the reality show's second season, including exclusive footage of the embattled businesswoman's arrest, a source told page six.

Bravo knows full well that viewers are following every detail of this case and will continue to do so as it progresses.

So producers plan to follow it just as closely and use whatever footage they legally can.

So far, they have filmed the lead up and aftermath of Jen's arrest as well as her co-stars' reactions, of course.

Source says, it's rare that Bravo has a big hit like Salt Lake City on his hands right out of the gate, and the team hope to continue that momentum when production for season two began.

Now with the news of Jen's arrest, they are sure to have even more success than they imagined, especially since Jen hopes to continue shooting if Bravo and her lawyers allow it.

She can only say so much, however, as it remains an ongoing haze.

Ugh, I can just just imagine the episode.

I hate that.

I can't say, I can't speak.

Yeah, I mean, obviously, this is like a golden egg in the hand of Bravo.

Like, Salt Lake City was an amazing first season.

People really enjoyed it.

And this Jen Shaw thing is the biggest thing to ever happen to the Housewives franchise, like, since Teresa going to jail.

Like, it's literally so big.

So, of course, they're going to use the opportunity.

There is like an ethics question here.

It's like, why do we give a platform to someone who literally like abused her business and took advantage of the people who are

elderly people, vulnerable people, and stole from them.

Yeah.

So it is like an ethical question, but I think at the end of the day, like Bravo cares about one thing and one thing only, and that's ratings.

And like, this is going to be like probably one of the highest rated seasons in Housewives history.

I understand that they obviously are not going to drop the golden egg that they have in this storyline, but, um, and maybe we'll see how it plays out.

This is one insider speaking to page six, so you, so you never know what the plan is.

But Andy did break his silence on Radio Andy and said oeve, hoping and praying that none of it is true.

And that is true, that this has to go to trial and

innocent until proven guilty.

Yes, but

I just think.

But she did it.

Yeah, it's like, it's a federal investigation.

And so now it,

whatever.

I just, I hope that they follow the storyline, but at what point do we stop like making

glamorizing crimes and criminals and giving them a platform?

Yeah.

No, it's, it's an it's, we're at a fork in the road as Housewives stands.

Like, this is is a true question of moral and ethics.

And I don't know where we go from here.

And Brabo hasn't been shy in firing people who for ethical reasons.

For ethical reasons.

Phaedra, Leanne.

People cross lines and they get fired.

And Dorinda, turkey based.

I have been a proponent of that.

Like, I really have.

Even with people I like, like, I loved Phaedra, but like, she fucked up, like, big time.

And I am a supporter of Leanne deserved to be fired 100%.

I'm a supporter of Bravo kind of drawing a line in in the sand at some point.

And I feel like Jensha

was beyond the line like 35 years ago.

100%.

But with this latest slew of crimes, she's beyond the line 1,000%.

In the words of Joey Tibriani, she can't even see the line.

The line is just a dot to her.

Right.

But can Bravo still see the line?

I know.

But see, they're struggling with the same thing, like ethics versus ratings.

And at the end of the day, like Bravo only cares about money and ratings.

And this is

a golden opportunity.

I don't, I mean, I understand that that's true, like generally how businesses operate, money and ratings, but there is also like a compliance, like HR.

Yeah, you know, I don't know.

And if it was just money and ratings, then why not keep Phaedra?

Like, that

was a huge thing.

No, it's an interesting point.

I'm very curious to see where it goes and like what the conversations being had around it are.

Because right now it's like so sensationalized.

Like, no one's even realizing like that you are in a way like glamorizing this crime um but people are just so obsessed with knowing what happened like they of course want to see it on their televisions yes but i think there's a way that we can follow this storyline through the reactions of the women without giving Jen Shaw a platform any longer yeah

yeah I don't know so we

we'll have to see wait and see what happens and they better speed the season the fuck up yeah like get us the footage now yeah like prioritize everyone drop what you're doing get Get more cameramen.

Yeah.

Start making it.

And women.

Yeah.

Are you ready for our next story?

It's Little Big Movie News.

A little BMN.

BMN.

Godzilla vs.

Kong opens to $48.5 million at domestic box office, the biggest weekend of COVID era.

Everyone's talking about Godzilla vs.

Kong.

Have you seen?

No, that's crazy because $48 million would not have been a lot before COVID.

Yeah, but I think you can also watch it at home.

It debuted on HBO Max because Zach watched it over the weekend.

I did not join him.

No.

But he said it was really good, and everyone's talking about it.

So it's like the big box office of the moment.

But it's the first in a while.

Yeah, right.

I don't know anything about this movie.

Like, who's in it?

Okay.

That I don't know.

Who plays Godzilla?

I don't know.

And Wedwack King Kong.

I don't know.

Okay, well, happy for the movie theater industry.

I actually thought

the film stars.

Thank you.

Alexander Skarsgård.

Love of my life.

Millie Bobby Brown.

Rebecca Hall.

Brian Tyree Henry, Shun O'Oguri, Aza Gonzalez, love her, Julian Dennison, Lance Reddick, Jessica Henwick, Kyle Chandler, Love of My Lifetimes Two,

Demion Bashir, and newcomer Kaylee Hoddle.

I haven't heard of a lot of those people, but happy for them that like their first big movie is like this blockbuster sensation.

I totally agree.

No, I did not even know that there was a new movie coming out.

Like, that's how, like, in my own world I've been.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And also, but like, we're not huge on the action movies.

No, we ain't.

It's big news.

Oh, also, you want to hear something like kind of crazy?

Sure.

So, have you heard of this?

Well, you know this already, but just for the sake of the podcast, pretend like you're not.

Have you heard of BitCloud?

No.

Tell me more.

I actually don't really know what it is.

I actually don't know.

I've heard of it.

I don't know what it is.

It's like a social media platform where like followers are like Bitcoin currency and like you can like make money.

I have no idea.

Like Elon Musk is on it.

There's like a lot of legit people on it.

And someone has been impersonating me on there, like making money as me.

And literally, like I got so many DMs yesterday from people being like, is this you on BitCloud?

cloud like how can i follow you and i'm like i and the person you can like tweet it looks like twitter so you can like post like status updates status updates and this person like um

is obviously not me because they're not funny at all like their first joke was like am i a millionaire now like i would never say that like that's not funny you'd say billionaire right um

so just PSA if you're on BitCloud like that ain't me I wonder who it is

I know that's what I want to figure out too like what loser is spending their time like if you're gonna impersonate someone, like, impersonate someone actually famous and recognizable so you can like actually make money.

But maybe I'm just like the perfect level of like Z-less to go like under the radar on nobody.

Yeah, but then I saw the person's trying to get verified.

So that could be like really sticky.

You could have an identity crisis on your hands.

No, I know.

So like if anyone here like works at BitCloud, like I don't even know what that is.

Like please help me.

And also like maybe I want to join BitCloud and they have my username.

So can I get back to you?

I just want to go over their profile, take the followers, everything.

They literally have my they stole my bio from Instagram and they uploaded the picture of my book cover as.

Maybe it's you.

Maybe you did it when you were drunk.

No, I don't think so.

But like, it's definitely possible.

Think about it.

It's definitely like in the realm of possibility.

I will get you.

If you're listening at a party, everybody's like talking about BitCloud and you're like, hey, I should get on it.

And then you're like tweeting, am I a millionaire now?

LOO.

It's a good theory, but even in my most drunken state, I would never make that dumb joke.

Like, for real.

Okay.

Okay.

So that's like the.

That's how I know it really wasn't me.

But that was a good, interesting little journey we went on.

Okay.

Fifth and final story.

Something that I saw really is upsetting you.

One of the web's pioneers, Yahoo Answers.

I'm upset.

Will be wiped from the internet in May.

Yahoo Answers, a question and answer platform that launched more than 15 years ago and became one of the largest troves of information and misinformation on the internet is shutting down on May 4th.

Here's the thing.

I feel conflicted for a multitude of reasons.

When I think of Yahoo Answers, I think of nostalgia.

I think like of literally like Googling my homework answers and like every now and then like Yahoo Answers like literally explained it perfectly and like it it saved lives like it got me into college like for I will that for that I will always be grateful

but it's important

lest we not forget that Yahoo is the company that literally canceled our show and ruined our lives and like literally is the worst place on earth.

So bye

Peace out But no, in all seriousness, like Yahoo Answers was a safe haven for a lot of us at a young age.

And it's upsetting.

My

affinity towards Yahoo Answers was knowing that there was someone out there asking the exact same question as me.

Relatable, yes.

You know?

Yeah.

So whether you're looking for advice or just like a tactical response, like

someone else, you know, it's that feeling of universality and community and relation.

Community.

Community.

Universality, relations, and communities.

A hundred percent.

Yeah.

So like that is that I'll miss that.

Like

we're crazy for like asking this random question.

Like no, actually 30,000 people have also asked it.

Yeah, and others are answering and people are liking it.

And like you're not alone.

Yeah.

And I guess there is a new forum.

Like it's called Quara, Q-U-O-R-A, that has like kind of replaced Yahoo Answers.

They come up first in SEO, like when I search random questions.

So it's not like we're completely lost, but I just wanted to kind of pay homage to a community that really served me at my most vulnerable in high school.

Yeah.

And also, I feel like now it's like if you have a question, like there's a Facebook group for that.

Oh, a hundred percent.

You know, they'll dox you, but there is a Facebook group.

But you might get the answer you were looking for.

Worth it.

Well,

those are the five stories.

And I feel as though you needed to know them.

And I'm so excited because for the first time in a while, we've got a little

Kelly's mindless news.

Like the 4th of July.

Oh my God, I had no idea.

Well, Well, we didn't have a TV recap segment today, and I wanted to.

It's so long.

I know.

And this is kind of breaking news.

Kelly Rippa makes a revelation about her daughter, Lola, and it's so relatable.

Now, I just want to make it clear: we are in no way mocking Kelly.

We need to have like a disclaimer.

We are not mocking Kelly Rippa for any

for subsidiaries, companies, or party members.

No, we can't.

We have nothing but respect for Kelly Rippa, but sometimes her news can be mindless.

Yes.

Yes!

Wait, we need to record it on the soundboard.

Oh my god, that is good.

Do it again.

Okay.

We want you to know that this has no bearing on Kelly's family, businesses, or any of her subsidiaries.

We have nothing but respect for Kelly Ripa and her family, but sometimes her news can be mindless.

So good.

We'll perfect it afterwards.

Okay.

Kelly Rippa enjoyed some quality time off work during spring break, spending it with her husband, Mark and Suelos, and their three children.

The live with Kelly and Ryan stars kids have grown up in the public eye.

Meh.

And have appeared on the ABC morning show.

They've grown up on her Instagram.

Yeah, like they're not being hounded by paparazzis, and I'm sure they live a very normal life.

Except for the fact that they're like super rich.

The Live with Kelly and Ryan Stars kids have grown up in the public eye and have appeared on the ABC Morning Show over the years.

But now that they are older, they prefer to stay out of the spotlight, especially her daughter Lola.

So why are you writing an article about her?

But here we go, putting her in the spotlight.

The doting mum wanted to mark her family's Easter celebration.

Is it the sun?

Yeah, no, it's Hello Magazine, the number one offender in Kelly Myanlonus.

The doting mom wanted to mark her family's Easter celebrations on social media on Sunday, but told her Instagram followers that she's sharing a throwback picture of her kids instead, as it was the photo that Lola had approved.

This is so mindless.

I actually can't even follow it.

In the picture, Lola and her brothers, Michael and Joaquin, were posing...

Joaquin.

Sorry.

Lola and her brothers, Michael and Joaquin, were posing in the kitchen at their family home in New York, surrounded by extravagant chocolate eggs.

They literally look like the ones everyone has from like Dwayne Ray.

Fans were quick to react to the post with one writing, I love how prescriptive Lola is.

I love how prescriptive Lola is.

She's probably going to run a large corporation one day.

While another wrote, my 14-year-old daughter is exactly the same.

I can't post anything without her approval.

A third added, thank you, Lola, for approving.

Super cute.

Lola isn't the only one who prefers to keep a low profile.

In an interview with Glamour magazine recently, Kelly opened up about her son Michael's desire to stay out of the spotlight spotlight when he was younger.

She said, I was not allowed to discuss anything.

I couldn't talk about his life, his grades, even though they were great.

I couldn't talk about school.

I wasn't allowed to show his prom pictures on TV.

What?

Even though I may have, as long as I got the girl's permission from her parents, but like, still, like...

highly inappropriate.

The doting parent added that she would never discuss any of her children without their permission.

That's good.

Mark and that's good.

Kelly and Mark are doting parents to three children.

It would be very unfair to use my bullhorn to discuss somebody that did not want to be discussed.

I'm very mindful

of that being the boundary.

I feel like this is Kelly's mindful news.

That kind of seems like a direct response to us.

Wow.

The use of that word, Kelly and mindful, never thought I'd see them together.

Never thought I'd see it.

But I think the takeaway here is that

it's really speechless.

So like, what is the takeaway?

Like, what did I just read?

So it's like, her kids don't want to be talked about here.

We go talking about them, letting you know we're not going to talk about them.

Right, but we're going to talk about them and exploit them, just let you know that we're not talking about them.

Got it.

Well, thank you for keeping up with Kelly's Mindless News, like the 4th of July.

That's our show.

It is our show.

Don't turn it off yet because you never know.

Something might come to us.

I'm done.

I guess I'm done too, but we actually are not done because you are coming over later because we got our Krispy Kreme delivery.

It is here.

Thank you, Mike Tattersfield, and the whole cream family.

We got glazed and they happened to maybe see yesterday's episode because we got the Oreo that we discussed yesterday.

I think the fact that they sent the Oreo means they didn't see yesterday's episode.

No, or they're so good, they know we're going to love them.

Like we just judged a book by its cover.

Interesting.

I mean, it was their photo that they put out and they made it look bad.

But if you want to see the photo, it is on our Instagram.

Please share your thoughts and like if this wets your whistle.

So Jackie and I are going to be filming a Patreon mukbang for the Patreon channel.

It will be a feast of the Oreo donuts, the glazed donuts.

and we got in the mail today a pie, the tall house cookie pie we were raving about last week from Beverly Hills Cafe.

Beverly Hills Cafe, the last remaining location in Miami Lakes.

Thank you to the former employee slash toaster who like literally stole one and gave it to us.

We appreciate you doing lawyers work.

And I, on the one hand, like I'm so excited.

On the other hand, like this is, it has a really tall task to live up to of being like our favorite dessert.

Like what if.

What if it's gross?

Yeah.

Like we were kids.

Like you thought anything was good.

If we don't like it, we could always blame it on the fact that it was shipped.

We also need to purchase some vanilla ice cream.

Did you have any?

No, but I could definitely get some for the colour.

Okay, I can pick it up also.

Okay, maybe we'll both.

We all can see some of the cameras.

I think we can all pick up some ice cream.

So, yeah, be sure to look out for that.
