Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the morning toast.

Happy Thursday.

Hope everyone's having an amazing day here in New York.

It is blizzard season.

It is so snowy.

I think it's like so blown out behind us.

It's been snowing all through the night.

Still snowing this morning.

It really is a winter wonderland.

Except it's nothing like the Hallmark movies because what they don't show you in the Hallmark movies is the duty brown snow that collects in the street when you don't plow the streets.

Mr.

Mayor, where are the snow plows?

Yeah, no, these snow plows should be working around the clock and they're just not doing that.

Well, I actually I do love like a winter wonderland in New York because I don't really like leave my house that much.

So it's not like that much of an inconvenience, especially in COVID.

So I was just enjoying being all like snuggled up on my bed last night.

I was snuggled up.

Last night I was really enjoying it.

This morning, that was another story.

But I've got my moon boots on, my snow boots.

So I was just tearing down the streets.

I've got my snow boots on as well.

Had to literally pull them out of the back of my closet.

Like could not find them.

But I actually don't mind the snow boot look.

No, I love my moon boots.

And I just got another pair of moon boots that are like even, these ones are just like functional.

Like I actually wear them to go ski and I don't care so much about them.

But I just got like a chic pair of moon boots that I'm really excited about.

Shoon boots.

Shoon boots.

But I've been wearing moon boots since college.

I think they're like the cutest boots ever.

I think so too.

And this season they are the cutest boots ever, but I'll be wearing them long into my range.

Like I love them so much.

And they're so functional.

Like I actually own snow boots and I'm always so excited to wear them.

Mine are from UGG and they are reasonably priced and I think still really cute.

Yeah, they're cute too.

I wouldn't have snow boots if we never like went to Utah.

Like I use when it snows in New York like twice a year, you just figure it out.

Like you wear sandals and it just works.

That would be me if moon boots didn't exist.

Like I only have have snow boots because I love moon boots.

So we've been here in the studio for about 20 minutes and you have not said one word about my haircut.

Well, because I noticed it on your Instagram yesterday.

And honestly, I just haven't mentioned it because I don't know how to tell you this.

But you're triggered by it because you're jealous?

I'm so jealous.

That's good, you know, because I'm triggered by your apartment.

Okay.

Because I want an apartment that nice.

And now you're triggered by my hair because you want hair this nice.

Yeah, no, like that's like my ideal haircut.

Like that's exactly what I would have asked for.

Yeah.

I went like just like layered.

Well, we go to the same hairstylist mahogany.

So you could say, just give give me the Claudia.

Yeah.

This is actually like the Rachel, kind of.

It's like layered.

But it's so much longer than the Rachel.

Yeah, yeah, but it's like the same kind of aesthetic for my certain hair length.

And I think we should change it officially to the Claudia.

Yeah, we could.

Yeah.

Or we could just say like keep it long with layers.

Long with layers.

But these are like, you know, I'm very specific about my layers because some people like the front pieces like to go up to their nose.

And because I have this like really terrible disease called fat face, I cannot have the front pieces go anywhere like higher than.

The front pieces are short though.

Yeah, but they're still, they cannot go

above my chin.

Like that's unacceptable.

So it's a whole like mathematic, we had to get like the

protractor.

It was like a whole thing, but we figured it out because of my very serious illness.

It looks great.

I'm going to get a haircut in the new year and I'm, I'm so excited.

My hair is so long.

I can do anything.

Nothing like a haircut.

I could do anything with my hair right now because I have so much like length.

Then we're new to Bob.

I know.

One day I'm going to go back to the Bob life.

There's just nothing like a haircut to give you like a renewed sense of self.

100%.

A new outlook on life.

So what are you looking like?

What are you seeing in your new outlook?

So I'm seeing that things are, you know, still pretty much the same, but I'm looking at it with fresh eyes.

I'm sore from Live Method.

And when I laugh, my chest hurts.

And it's like, it feels like a pain that should be concerning.

It's just so sad that you're hanging out with the funniest girl alive.

Stop.

Also, it's coming from my right side, so like I'm not concerned.

And I know it's like, it's soreness because I'm really sore, but it's like a new thing.

I guess we're doing like too much.

Chest pains are never good.

We're doing too much chest work, man.

And so it's really painful.

You're going to be broad as fuck.

I'm going to be broad.

Yes.

We have an amazing show for you guys today.

Of course, the fast five, two hours of housewives last night, OC and Salt Lake City.

And I have a very hot take.

Did you watch OC?

Yeah, I watched both.

I have a very hot take.

I actually think that the OC episode was better than the Salt Lake City episode.

Really?

Yeah.

I still liked the Salt Lake City, like ladies better and the vibe.

But in terms of like drama and movement and plot, I actually had like...

thought the OC episode was really super interesting.

It was pretty interesting, but I just loved also watching Salt Lake City last night as it snowed and there at Sundance.

And I'm just like, this is the vibe.

I got to get to Sundance.

Yeah.

I hate going to things where like it's the thing and everyone's there.

That's so funny.

We couldn't be more different.

Like I love that.

Yeah.

No, it's like, no, I chill up.

I want to go to Park City when no one's there.

Oh, but I like to see it.

When I can get a reservation at any restaurant, it's not like everyone from Hollywood is in town.

It's like, if I wanted to go to Hollywood,

I would take a flight to LA.

Okay, I feel that.

I do.

And I like that as well.

Like, I actually prefer to go to Montauk in the winter as opposed to the summer.

you know what I mean?

Yeah, but that doesn't mean I'm still not going to like the hotspot weekends in, you know, Park City because I just love to like flex and be a star fucker.

And I'm like such a social climber, and that's like where I thrive.

Yeah, and no, and I don't need it to be like desolate, but it's like I don't need to go to Montauk on July 4th.

I can go the following weekend.

Oh, that's so funny.

No, I will go the following weekend, but then I also must be there the weekend of, like, how is anyone gonna know that, like, I'm girl with no job, you know?

Speaking of girl with no job, we are now super close.

Well, not super close, we're getting closer to the release of my book, Girl With No Job, The Crazy Beautiful Life of an Instagram Thirst Monster.

It is available for pre-order if you go to girlwithnojob.com slash book.

Very simple to remember.

All the retailers are there.

Plus, all the versions are available for pre-order.

So that's audio book, e-book, and of course, hardcover.

book.

And it's just a fabulous book.

There's some fabulous blurbs on the back written by a couple fabulous people, including my sister Jackie.

And if you want to support Jackie, buy this book.

If you want to support me.

It would mean a lot to me, you guys.

Thank you.

You know, this is what I did it, like, for you, you know

um yeah so girl with no job.com slash book if you're on my instagram live last night i played a little game where people were commenting page numbers and then i would just find the page and read the first sentence on the page and i think it got everyone like i think pre-sale numbers were really up and if your question is should i wait till the week of or should i pre-order Either works as long as you're buying my book.

But pre-sale would be really helpful seeing as how I'm trying to get into bookstores and more importantly, airport bookstores.

And you need to have like high concentration of order numbers in order to do that.

So girlwithnojob.com slash book.

And I really, you can buy it from anywhere, of course, local bookstores if you use bookshop.com.

But if you're looking to save some money this holiday season, Amazon keeps putting my book on sale like without my permission.

So it's good for you.

Yeah, that is good.

Competition benefits the consumer.

And, you know, there's a picture of Theon the back.

So on days like today, when he's not on the show, like you could just look at it.

I couldn't bring him in today.

No, I, when I, I don't, when I rolled up and I saw he wasn't here, I was like, oh, of course.

No, it's so cold.

He walks for 45 minutes, did not poop, and he came back freezing.

And like, it's when I was laying in the living room, it's 79 degrees, and he's just, like, sweating.

Sweating bullets.

Sweating bullets.

Bruno hasn't been outside in like 24 hours now.

It's so hard to be a dog mom when it snows.

Like, we are just such an underappreciated group of people.

I know, but then I saw, like, Knowles was thriving in the snow, and I was like, oh, am I, am I...

Well, I don't want to out Knowles, but Knowles...

Doesn't really go out, you know.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

She has like a nice little place that she goes.

Yeah.

That's true.

She doesn't go to like salted streets and stuff.

No, and the salt is really scary.

It gets like stuck in their paws.

Yeah.

Theo was like limping yesterday because there was a piece of salt stuck between his paw pads.

Like it was so sad.

Stop.

That's why he needs the boots.

No, I know.

Do you see those boots Knowles was wearing?

Yeah.

Really cute.

Theo, we've tried boots, like the balloon boots and regular boots from the middle.

I just got a pair of balloon boots.

And it's like, he has four legs.

Like every time I go out, I have to put on four shoes.

Like it's insane.

It's insane.

No, okay, I'm glad you're.

It's like they had like a little zipper.

Hers looked better.

Yeah, but like with the little strap, I'm like, I'm going to buckle you in four times, four times a day.

Okay, well, well, at least it's better than Bruno, who literally pees every 45 minutes.

That's crazy.

Crazy.

So yes, we have a fabulous show for you guys.

I think we should, you know.

Just jump right in.

Right?

We actually have some really good stories.

So without further ado, it's time for the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

My chest.

Uh-oh.

Oh, snap!

I had a vision.

Raven Simone came to me and she said, Claudia, you must tell the world about the power of Bruch or else you will suffer from a very severe and deadly case of R-A-D-H.

Thank you, Raven.

I shall deliver your message to the people of the morning toast with honor.

Today's episode is brought to you by Bruch, which we talk about all the time and people keep asking for the code.

So here it is.

Don't forget, Bruch is the most amazing electric toothbrush on the market.

I went to the dentist two days ago and she literally was like, oh my God, what kind of toothbrush do you use?

You brush so well.

And I'm like, thanks, Doc.

It's a Bruch.

And if you want to know what Bruch is, they clean your teeth at 31,000 movements a minute, whereas manual toothbrushes tap out at just 300.

Many electric toothbrushes are barely a step up for manuals, and some of the electric toothbrushes on the market that do a good job can cost over $200.

But Bruch is here.

They deliver premier sonic wave technology without the markups that big electric toothbrushes tack on.

You get the brooche kit, which is what Jackie and I both have.

We got it in the Millennial Pink, which is it's so cute on your counter and has this like magnetic, very sleek charging station.

You get in the kit, it features the toothbrush, three electric brush heads, magnetic charging station, and a sleek travel case.

And the brooche itself has six cleaning modes, daily, white, gentle, gum, max, and tongue.

It has a smart timer with a quad pacer, and the battery life lasts four weeks.

So if you are going to travel, you don't need to bring a charger unless you're traveling for more than four weeks, in which case I'm jealous.

And if you want to get 15% off plus express

free shipping December 16th through December 20th.

So if you want to get it as a gift for someone and you might think it's too late, it's not because that 15% off in free express shipping is still valid when you use promo code toast at brooch.com.

It's guaranteed arrival before Christmas and you can try it 90 days risk-free and get a two-year warranty.

So the website to get your brooche and the code is bruush.com promo code toast.

And honestly, my doctor said I had amazing teeth.

So like if you want amazing teeth, brush.

I used to think that brushing your teeth like didn't make a difference like at the dentist.

You know what I mean?

And she straight up was like, your teeth look so good.

You're a good brusher.

What do you use?

And she's like, electric.

And I'm like, ma'am, it's a brooch.

It's a brooche.

Get your brooch.

Get your brooch.

Okay, first story.

The biggest news of the day, strangely enough, the planned Lizzie Maguire revival is officially dead at Disney Plus.

Hillary stuff made the...

Hillary stuff.

Oh, I'm like...

Hillary Stephanie Duff?

I didn't know she had a middle name.

Hillary Duff made the announcement on Instagram on Wednesday saying, quote, I've been so honored to have the character of Lizzie in my life.

I know the efforts and conversations have been everywhere trying to make a reboot work, but sadly and despite everyone's best efforts, it isn't going to happen.

I want any reboot of Lizzie to be honest and authentic to who Lizzie would be today.

It's what the character deserves.

Okay, I have two thoughts on this reboot.

One, am I necessarily like devastated that I won't be watching it?

No, because I probably like wouldn't have watched it in full anyway.

Reboots are just like so pathetic.

Second, I just find it shocking that this particular reboot did not get rebooted because there are so many like shitty reboots.

And of all the ideas I've heard for a reboot, like this is not the worst one.

No, it's really not.

But this is not surprising.

I mean, it wasn't very long ago where she like posted on social media to ask Hulu to pick it up.

So there was obviously like

sad element there, yeah.

Drama at the Lizzie McGuire reboot.

And also like I'm so anti-reboot that like to me, this was good news.

It's like, oh, great, another show that's not going to be ruined and can just live in our memory is like a perfect thing.

You know when like, have you heard of the Mandela effect?

No.

It's a thing on TikTok where, I mean, it's a thing in like psychology, but I learned about it on TikTok where it's like, you have these preconceived notions in your head and like of what things look like or what things appear to be or what you experience, but it's actually not at all like if I were to tell you, you know what the fruit of the loom logo looks like?

Yeah.

What does it look like?

Like fruit in the basket.

There's no basket.

There's no cornucopia.

Oh, wow.

That's the Mandela effect.

It's like everyone just assumed there was like a cornucopia, but there wasn't.

And I think one of those things is like, we think that Liz McGuire was like this amazing transformative show.

There were literally two seasons.

Yeah.

Like that's crazy.

Yeah.

And when I heard that like my mind was blown.

I think of it as like the

Hannah Montana, which was like seven seasons.

Like I just, I assume, I looped it in with all those other Disney shows, but it had two seasons.

Yeah, but even if this was Hannah Montana we were talking about, like Hannah Montana is that perfect thing.

And like, I just don't think you need to touch perfection or work it to the bone so that it's no longer perfect.

Well, that's an interesting.

thing you say because

I obviously would definitely be interested in discussing a Hannah Montada reboot, but it would only be if Miley was like so fully on board.

And I think she's made it very clear.

She's like, no, no, no, I think she's like into Hannah these days.

And I think she would be on board, but like, I don't want that reboot.

I think she's into Hannah now because Hannah's music outperforms Miley's music.

Yeah.

Back then and now.

Yeah, I just, I don't want it.

I don't want these reboots.

But you know what is looking pretty good?

Those gossip girl cast photos that are coming out of the gossip girl reboot.

But like, but that's also different because it's a whole new cast.

So it's like, that was like when 90210, we had this.

Shaylene Woodley.

That was so good.

Amazon Shaylene Woodley.

Shaylene Maguire.

What's her name?

The other Shaylene.

Grimes.

Shanae Grimes.

Shanae Grimes.

They're literally the same person.

I'm sorry.

I agree.

They look exactly alike and their names are the same.

I completely agree.

I think my favorite fact about 90210 is that Sarah Foster was in it.

Yeah, no, and Megan Markle was in it.

Oh, yes, but Sarah Foster was like actually in it.

And Megan Markle was in it for like one second.

Sarah Foster had like from Schitt's Creek was in it.

Oh yeah, Sarah Foster was everything.

Naomi's sister.

Yeah.

I can't believe like that's Sarah Foster.

Did we talk to Sarah Foster about that when she was on the podcast?

I don't know.

We must have.

There's just so many fun facts.

But anyway, so what I'm saying is if there was a Lizzie McGuire reboot where it was like,

I don't know, like Lisa McGuire, and it was just like a different girl.

But is it the same age, like same premise?

Same premise, but like new casts, like us, a girl, like 90210.

I could be more here for that, but to like bring these characters into their old age, like...

it's a little sad.

It's a little sad.

But there are like very few examples of super successful reboots.

I think Fuller House is probably the most successful one.

Like people love it.

I've watched a few episodes.

It's actual trash, but people seem to, I don't know what's going to be without Lori Lachlan, but people seem to love it.

And it's on like their fourth season now.

And that's because like they didn't bother having all the people.

They took the ones who were kids on the show and they grew up.

And now it's like, I think it was well done in the sense that it's really full circle.

It's like now DJ is a mom.

you know Yeah, I mean I can speak to whether or not it's well done because I haven't watched it well It's successful because it hasn't been canceled and it's on its like fourth

Oh, it's ending.

Okay.

Great.

Great.

Great.

Great.

Great.

No, I'm trying to think of reboots that I do watch.

I don't watch any.

I don't think that I watch any.

It's a novelty.

So them having like six seasons is unnecessary because it's like you watch it once like to see your characters back together.

But then to watch them like go back to work, it's just sad.

It's just sad.

And also like, I just feel as though Lizzie Maguire would grow up to be Kelsey from younger.

And that shows already being made.

Redundant.

If they want to go into Kelsey's backstory and her real name is Lizzie and she, like, went to Italy and she dressed and like and she was a pop star.

Yes.

Sure.

Yes.

Sure.

Yes.

I'll take that.

Because, you know, the whole younger storyline is getting kind of older.

By the way, 100%.

Yeah.

So I don't know.

I just don't think this is like very sad news.

Or shocking because there was so much drama on the set and then Lizzie pleading on Instagram.

It was just messy from the moment it started.

Yeah.

I'm just like, I'm okay with this.

But I know a lot of people aren't.

And

I'm sure you're going through it right now.

And I know that.

No, I think you're okay.

I think you're okay.

Trying to disrespect that people might have wanted the reboot.

No, like, I'm sure people wanted the reboot, but you know what, you guys, it's going to be okay.

Like, it was only on for two years anyway, and we were like 11 years old.

Yeah, the Mandela effect is like something I'm currently obsessed with.

Nice.

Current obsessions.

Okay, next up, a little food news.

Allison Roman won't return to the New York Times after the Chrissy Teigen drama.

Allison Roman announced she will not return to the the New York Times after taking a break from the gig following her controversial comments on Chrissy Teigen.

She wrote on Instagram on Wednesday, quote, feels like a good time to formally mention I won't be returning to New York Times cooking.

I'm proud of the work we made together, but excited for this new chapter, which includes more recipes, videos, and writing over on a newsletter and beyond.

Writing over at where?

A newsletter that's called A Newsletter, I believe.

Got it.

Because the A is capitalized.

There has been.

And the N is capitalized.

Got it.

This year, there has been so much food drama, like this, and then there was like all this drama with bone appetite, and I don't follow, but I just like saw people talking about it.

And it's like the food world is, for lack of a better word, crumbling.

My chest.

That was a good pun.

My chest.

I don't care.

Like, I don't care.

I'm not like big into the food world, but she posted this news alongside a recipe of like this anchovy shallot pasta.

Disgusting.

That was, no, but like, that's the point.

It's the number one recipe from like New York Times food for the whole year.

So like that's really what people are making this year at home.

And apparently it's like you use the whole can of anchovies.

And it's still good.

That's so sick.

But like that's the point.

People are so disgusting.

Anyways, I just

feel like I wish I tried that pasta this year.

I just still can.

I know.

I just feel like I wasted so much of quarantine like just making chili.

Making jelly?

Chili.

No, we only started making chili like a month ago.

No, I started making chili well in the beginning of quarantine.

I feel like I could have stepped outside my comfort zone a little bit.

And I feel like everyone was making like shallot pasta.

And I was just like heating up, you know, chicken, plant-based chicken nuggets.

Yeah, no, I have no regrets about what I decided to cook in quarantine because I didn't go for the sardine pasta.

But I did really

cultivate my craft of spaghetti bolognese and taco.

And that's like my two favorite meals.

So I have no regrets.

No, I mean...

I just said that pasta looked really good and I would like to like do something other than pasta and cottage cheese or Rayos.

Oh, I love Rayos.

Sorry for Allison Roman that she's

such a household name at this point, which I learned like because through her controversy.

To this drama.

And so I feel like she, you know, could become like an extremely, she already is, but on her own, a very influential food news.

They're always looking for new folks over at Food Network.

Yeah, I feel like

there's so many opportunities in the food world and I think her brand is on point and people love her recipes.

And a bunch of people left Bone Appetite this year.

Right.

So I think like

the food world is really being shaken up.

Yeah.

Just like your salad.

But I feel like I've actually been in the mood, this is weird, to watch like cooking shows, like traditional cooking shows.

I'm so glad.

I am so, so glad you brought that up.

And so every once in a while when I'm like just wanting to watch live TV, like I don't want to have to go to one of the streaming services.

And I'm like, I want to watch the Food Network.

Like I want to watch like Sandra Lee Two Shops.

Like I want to watch Rachel Wright.

And every single time I turn on the Food Network, it's a competition cooking show.

I was just having this conversation with someone.

They don't fucking put on cooking shows anymore.

It is all competition.

Guys, grocery games, cupcake wars.

There is no more 30-minute meals at home with Sandra Lee, Artie's party.

Like, where are those shows of people just standing in their kitchen cooking?

I could not agree more.

Those were iconic.

And even though you were never going to make the recipes, there was something so soothing about just like watching people cook.

And also, like, I just want to watch other people cook to learn like small techniques that I don't already know.

Like,

I'm not going to like write down the whole recipe and copy it on the TV, Mrs.

Dowfire style.

No, they put it on the blogs though.

Right, but like she was watching TV and doing the recipe at the same time.

I don't think I would do that, but like watching how they do like chop certain things might just give me a skill that I didn't already have.

And I feel like I would find it really soothing.

Also, they always have these like holiday cupcake things on.

I'm like, oh, I'll watch it because I like the grapefruit.

The competition.

Yeah, I like the great British bake-off.

So it must not be that dissimilar.

But like no shade to these bakers.

Like it's really bad.

Yeah, I know.

The stuff that they do, it's like...

It's real amateur hour.

And I feel like

I feel like they've ran out of like talented bakers.

Yeah, because it's been on for so long.

When they first started, they got the best in the country.

And then they like started to lower their bar.

And now it's like, honestly, I could do it.

Yeah, no, it's just like not that impressive.

No, I know.

It's like mean to say.

I do like those like Halloween cake wars where you're like, we make the scariest ghost house.

And that's cool.

But I agree.

I'm really upset with the programming shift.

They, I don't think, I don't even know one.

I think they still put on barefoot contestas sometimes.

I would love to watch her.

Yeah, controversially, she's not my absolute favorite in terms of watching them cook.

My least favorite was always Giata De Laurentes, but I would even take that.

I really loved 30-minute meals with Rachel.

Rachel Ray's iconic.

I'm finally at a point in my life where I can appreciate this content, and I never watched it before.

And it's like, now I'm finally here, and the train has left the station.

Yeah, no, we're so late.

Like, it's so crazy.

I'm sure it's because like competition shows just perform so much better.

Yeah.

But I don't know.

I just, I feel like there's a gap in the market.

Iron Chef.

Like, I'm so over these competition shows.

Beat Bobby Flay.

There's so many.

I just feel like throughout the daytime, there should be like the shows that you watch at home.

Yeah.

And then at night, like we could spice it up with some competition.

Well, so there's also the cooking channel, which I believe is owned by Food Network because they like share a lot of talent.

And Debbie Mazar has her show on there, Bitch and Kitchen.

I wonder if that maybe is like where that programming went.

I've never watched.

I know it's one channel up for me from Food Network.

Maybe.

I don't know.

I just, all I know is I've been disappointed too many times.

And so I had to bring it up.

I'm so glad you brought that up because I've been talking about it.

And that's crazy that you had the same thought i don't know who i was just with but i was literally talking about how it's like so frustrating that every time i go i like get the itch i go and it's like never what i want it's always guys grocery game supermarket sweep like yeah Maybe they're on like a streaming service, but again, it's like not, I don't want to have to like commit to it.

I just want to like background the week.

Yeah, I'll even watch commercials.

Like I just, I want the relaxed Rachel Ray.

And I loved that kitchen she used to work out of.

It was like very retro.

Do you remember?

Yeah.

It was like all kind of like smeg inspired.

Yeah.

That was my favorite show.

I remember like watching that growing up.

I love Rachel Ray.

I should watch her daytime talk show.

You should.

She's a queen.

I think she's really successful with it.

She's so rich.

I have her baking trays.

They're wonderful.

I know I burned my finger on it.

Yeah, well, that was on you.

100%.

I don't blame Rachel.

Rachel literally said, don't touch it right out of the house.

I'm not suing.

I'm not a.

I wouldn't have a case.

No, I mean, I would.

I did suffer, you know.

Three-degree burns.

Third-degree burns.

Anyways, if anyone's listening, please.

Please help us.

Where can we find those shows?

Yeah.

Okay, ready for our next story?

Yes.

It's a little New Year's Eve news because the plans have been announced for New Year's Eve in Times Square, and it's the first time since 1907 that the ball will drop without spectators.

And I'm just curious, what happened in 1907 that there were no spectators?

None of the articles have influenza?

Coming?

I don't know.

Spanish flu?

They haven't said.

Wow.

They're just like saying 1907.

Depression?

No, that was the 20s.

Yeah, no.

So.

World War I?

No.

That's like the teens.

Oh, it is?

Yeah.

So, anyways, just that's a fun fact about 1907.

But also, no spectators at the New Year's Rock and Eve, and Gloria Gaynor will be performing I Will Survive.

I just have to, okay, that's like in poor taste.

No, I feel like it's meant to be inspirational.

No, it is, but like the year that people, so many people died from a disease and we're like, I will survive.

It just seems like

and the year that so many people survived from the disease.

Okay.

And the accompanying.

Okay, Gloria, whatever.

I just seem, it just seems like we're living in such sensitive times.

I'm just shocked that didn't get tabled immediately.

Yeah, no, really.

And I just have to say,

they can try to keep people out of Times Square, just like they tried to keep people out of the Rockefeller Christmas tree lighting.

Did you see what happened?

Oh my God, they literally put up huge like 18-wheeler trucks around Rockefeller Center.

So even if you were standing, like you couldn't see inside,

there was like one gap between two trucks.

A million people like came just to take pictures.

So and New York, I mean, Times Square is so much bigger.

So they can try, but I have a feeling people will, who want to, will will make their way over there.

Oh, wow.

I didn't even think that people would like want to go.

You cannot stop a drunk New Yorker.

Like, pandemic, come, come, hell or high water.

Like, they're going.

Yeah.

Oh, wow.

That'll be interesting.

And then, of course, you can watch it on TV.

So

1907 was the first ball drop.

Oh.

1907 was the first ball drop and they didn't let people come see it.

Like, that seems like kind of selfish.

No, they're saying since 1907.

Well, then

the headlights should be: Times Square ball drop will drop without spectators for the first time ever.

Right.

Not since 1907.

Right.

You know what I mean?

100%.

100%.

100%.

Because I had that thought.

I was like, maybe that was the year it started, but then it should say first time ever.

100%.

100%.

You know?

100%.

So balls have been dropping since 1907.

This is like sad.

You know, this is another thing, dick and rock and clock and rock and eve.

That's like a memory from like the time that I was born.

And you see the people and you're always like, I want to go there.

And then you grow up and it's like, why the fuck would I want to go there?

Yeah.

I always wanted to like be in Times Square and then it's like you grow up and you realize what it actually entails.

And then you're like, I want to perform there.

Oh, yes.

Just kidding.

I have no talents.

You could,

I could do that.

We could do like everyone else.

We could be like Andy and Anderson.

100%.

That's a good dream.

Actually, I happen to think that Andy and Anderson's

New Year's Eve is like maybe one of the best one out there.

Like they're so funny.

And I meant to bring this up yesterday because two nights ago I watched Anderson on Watch Trappins Live with Kaylee Cuoco talking about the flight attendant.

And it was just so funny.

And he was so relaxed.

And Andy's always, I feel like very uptight on Watch Trapins Live, like about time, people getting their answers, like it all running smoothly.

And I think it actually affects his performance.

Yeah, like he doesn't listen to the answer because he's like, is this answer going on?

He's on his car.

Yes.

Yep.

But he was so relaxed with Anderson.

And it was like such a good vibe.

I loved seeing Andy in that way.

And that's what they do on New Year's Eve.

And I feel like they're so funny.

I remember a few years ago, it was raining and they're like on these, they're like in sky boxes.

So they're like kind of in the air um it was raining and they were wearing umbrellas and like um they were you holding umbrellas and they like the tv association like called them when they were on commercial break was like you can't use an umbrella it's like a fire hazard if it falls off the thing it'll hit someone in the face and andy and anderson took their umbrellas down and were getting like poured on and they're looking around all the other sky boxes of all the other broadcasts going on and like Everyone is using an umbrella and it was just so funny.

I feel like they do a really good job.

And I haven't watched Dick Clark rock Ryan Seacrest in so long.

Um, I just feel like it's not it.

It's time to bring in the big guns, Anderson and Andy.

I think.

Oh, I watched a little bit of them and I had the opposite thought.

Really?

I thought it was like so.

What you thought was like candid about it, I thought was like super messy.

Oh, that's what I love though.

Yeah, I don't know.

They like conferenced in like Lindsey Lohan and that's what the no, no, no, but like there was like the Wi-Fi was horrible.

Like it was is this how much I'm flying you're saying on New Year's Year's Eve, but I don't know.

Maybe I'm just misremembering.

Also, I think that the historical significance of it being Kathy Griffin and then like Kathy Griffin coming for Andy Cohen's neck and all those videos, that to me as a pop culture enthusiast, I have no choice but to put it in.

It's exciting.

Okay, well, next up, speaking of celebs, we have the highest paid celebrities of 2020, according to Forbes.

Judge Shudy?

No.

Okay, let me think.

Number one, highest paid celeb of.

He's very

has a hand in everything.

Ryan Seacrest?

Roger Federer, Christian Ronaldo, Lionel Messi.

Okay.

Number six, Kim.

And Mars.

Okay, billionaire.

We announced this year that this man became a billionaire.

And we were so happy for him.

Yes.

It's all coming back.

We were so happy for him.

And why were we happy for him?

Because he's a precious gem of a man, like always doing the best,

good work, lifting people up.

Remind me.

Tyler Perry.

Oh, yes.

So happy for him.

And I'm glad that he's using those funds to pay Carl Lunz's rent.

Yes, exactly.

Seven, Neymar, another athlete.

Eight, okay, the eight is big for the

broadcasting hosting world.

Joe Rogan?

No, but that's a good guess.

Similar, but more established.

Who's more established than Joe Rogan?

It's right there.

It's right there.

Alex Cooper.

Who?

Howard Stern.

Oh, duh, duh, duh, duh.

I got so fixated on podcasting, I forgot about radio.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, my God.

Nine,

arnold schwarzenegger no that's a good guess the rock oh my god are you okay with your chest no i'm really not because you're like not laughing at any of my jokes it is so hurtful no if i touch my chest it means it's funny okay okay it's like sign american sign language yeah so those are your top 10 highest paid celebrities of 2020.

who was number 10 um the rock oh right do you want some more i could just like i'll just rattle them off instead of this guessing game.

I was having fun, but sure.

11, Rush Limbaugh.

12, Ellen, 13, Bill Simmons.

Also, Ellen, sorry, really.

Bill Simmons, podcasting.

Yeah, love that.

Podcasting.

Love that because he sold his network.

The ringer.

Yeah.

And to Spotify.

Who do you sell it to?

Spotify.

So Ellen put out this video just updating everyone on how she's doing.

And honestly,

I really felt bad for her.

Like, she's just, she's a woman defeated.

Like, she's,

she was just so down.

Like, yes, because she had COVID, but like, I just think she knows, like,

like

her time is up.

You know what I mean?

Like, everyone's just, like, over her.

It was just, like, such a sad video to see her, like, this powerful woman just be.

I feel like if she thought everyone was over her, she wouldn't put out a video talking about her COVID symptoms.

And I feel like she had to, you know,

because like that's just the world we live in now.

She was, and she was like, I'm totally fine 100%.

They don't tell you about the excruciating back pain.

She was just like, they tell you about it on OC, real hot size of OC.

That's true.

She was just like trying to be funny and like relatable.

And it was just, it was so flat.

And the video, like for the first time in this whole Ellen debacle, like, I felt a lot of sympathy for Ellen.

And not so much because she had COVID, but just because her spirit was, was crushed.

I understand.

And then she was like trying to be funny, like playing Connect 4 with Portia.

And it was just,

it was soul crushing.

It really was.

Chest touch.

14, Elton John.

Happy for him.

15, James Patterson, the novelist, but you might know him from the Jeffrey Epstein documentary, which is underrated.

So weird.

I thought you were going to say, you might know him from his commercials.

Like every book he makes has a commercial for some reason.

I know he's.

Or James Patterson.

Yeah.

And then he's like walking the beach in the Epstein documentary because he was his neighbor.

Yeah, because he lived in Palm Beach.

Yeah.

Well, that's actually, you know what that reminds me of?

And I think it was, I'm so glad he put it in his stand-up routine when Dave Chappelle did the whole thing on R.

Kelly.

And he was like, I'm not a betting man, but if I were, like, R.

Kelly definitely did that shit.

And then he was like, and I have this friend, Dream, who's a documentary filmmaker, and she made the Lifetime Documentary.

And she was like, Chappelle, do you want to be in it?

And he was like, No.

And then Dream, when she was doing press, was like,

Dave Chappelle said no to being in the documentary.

And of course, like, everyone picked that up.

And Dave Chappelle was like, I only said no, because I don't know this man at all.

Never met him.

And now it's like a trend of like celebrities being put in documentaries when they've literally never met the person they know nothing about, but it's like because they're a celebrity.

No, and they have an opinion on the matter.

Like they're an expert.

James Patterson.

Yeah.

No, but he lived.

So and he's, I don't, I don't think it's the the same thing.

So?

16, Steph Curry.

17, Ariana Grande.

18, Ryan Reynolds.

Wait, where's Taylor Swift on this list?

She's not here.

What year is this?

2020, the one that we're in.

I guess she really.

I mean,

she might be later down.

19, Gordon Ramsey.

20.

I think this is the most shocking one.

The Jonas Brothers.

Wow.

$68.5 million.

But

how did musicians make money in 2020?

Get into

album sales, merchandise, licensing deals.

I guess.

Taylor's number 25 on the list at 63.5 million.

But like

the chain smokers are 21.

How much?

68 million.

Wow, the chain smokes.

Dr.

Phil is 22.

Happy for him.

Ed Sheeran's 23.

Kevin Durant's 24.

Taylor's 25.

Tiger Woods, 26.

Kirk Cousins, 27.

Post Malone, 28.

J.K.

Rowling, 28.

Also.

Ryan Seacrest, 28, also.

They all made 60 million.

Fabulous.

I'm happy for all these people.

Slightly jealous, but still happy.

Yeah, still happy.

Jealous, though.

Very.

Very.

So jealous.

So just interesting what the slubs were up to, who was making money in 2020.

Wow, this list is really interesting.

Like Sean Mendez, $54.5 million.

Well, he had a Netflix documentary, so I'm sure that was like at least 20 mil.

You think so?

Yeah.

And I think his tour is.

And he grossed $87 million on tour in 2019.

And that's how the Jonas Brothers made a lot of money, too, to their tour in 2019.

So, this is the list from money they made in 2019?

You know, I don't know how it goes.

Okay.

You know, because it's the 2020 list, but like, some, you know, maybe you cashed the check in 2020.

Yeah, I feel that.

I find it interesting, though, that like everyone's been suffering this year, but it seems like celebrity culture is like alive and well and they're still making lots of money.

And I'm happy for them.

Yeah.

I mean, this is like a list of like literally the biggest people on earth and so like smart and respected intellectuals.

And Kylie is number one.

And that's just everything to me.

And I know that's like why people hate her but that's why I personally stand for life.

Like stand for life.

She's not just on the list like number one.

Above Kanye.

Like that's crazy.

Crazy.

Above James Patterson.

So prestigious.

All right now.

Wait, that's not the fifth and final.

I know we have one more story.

Yeah, that's not the fifth and final story because the fifth and final story is the fact that Dorinda Medley is selling Sonia by Sonia Morgan dresses on Poshmark.

Dress.

A used.

One dress.

A used Sonya by Sonia Morgan dress yes Roney fans might be dying to get their hands on a dress designed by Sonia Morgan but now they can get it straight from Dorinda's closet Dorinda recently added a black balloon sleeve dress from the Sonya by Sonia Morgan line to your Poshmark page and is selling the $200 style for $175.

That's not enough of a discount for a used dress.

Yeah.

Normally, like I don't really report on former housewives doing stuff.

Oh, is that like a

personal preference, but you wanted to talk about this?

Because I saw also somebody left a comment on our Instagram that in addition to selling a Sonia by Sonia Morgan used dress, Dorinda is also selling a used lady gang piece of merch.

Yeah.

So justice for the lady gangers,

I always feel like when we get to appointment, the former housewife shelling things on Poshmark, it's always dark, you know?

And this reminds me of when Carol Radswell was let go from housewives.

She was selling used underwear on lingerie.

Which is stuff that you put on your body.

It's fancy underwear yeah yeah she was selling it on poshmark and i just feel like i i i agree i don't necessarily need to keep up with former housewives but i was really interested especially in new york as it pertains to like the women's finances related to the show and that's why like they're so dependent on it and i think dorinda was a prime example of that she moved out of her apartment she's now fully in the bookshelves

And her Instagram is just getting weirder and weirder.

Oh, I don't follow her, but she's fully in the Berkshires.

I really like that for her.

Me too.

Her house in the Berkshire is so nice.

Did you see

this video that I sent you about?

I started to watch it, but then I couldn't give it more time than I did.

Okay, because I thought it was a joke, but then it wasn't.

And if you haven't watched it, Dorinda put up this video on her Instagram that Hannah, her daughter, did like this fashion styling video.

And I just think everyone should see it.

And that's all I'll say.

Okay.

I think that's really like.

That's good advice.

Thank you.

All right.

Housewives recap.

Let's start in order.

OC.

I thought it was a great episode.

I'm not going to lie.

I need to go to Lake Arrowhead.

I know.

And that house was cute at first, but I agreed with Kelly.

Like, the longer I looked at it,

serial killer vibes.

It was nice from the outside.

And the big decks over the lake are like the nicest part, but the house inside was like a little scary.

I mean, and then the bugs and the spiders, like, I'm out.

That was insane.

And of course, it's like literally the one time Gina gets the master.

Like, I thought that was so funny.

And I know I'm very hard on Gina.

She's been good.

I have to say two things.

She was great this episode.

She had the most incredible moment, which I'm going to get to in a second.

And two, her hair looked awesome.

Yeah.

It was her natural hair blown out, and I was just happy to see it.

Yeah.

And I have to give her credit because they had that, you know, kind of awkward, uncomfortable conversation between Bronwyn and Kelly, just talking about like the state of the world and the Black Lives Matter movement and some of those like historical statues coming down.

And it was getting really tense.

And I kind of wish that they had like had a more civil discussion about it because it might have been like more interesting.

But then they were just like being messy.

But then Gina just stepped in and first of all,

simmered the argument and said the most poignant thing that I just was like so so impressed by because she was talking about how she got arrested.

Yes.

What was it, like a year ago?

And of course, she was like terrified because she was like scared about her kids, but never once did she think that the police officer was ever going to hurt her.

She was never afraid of the police officer.

She was afraid of her own actions and the consequences.

And that if she were a black woman or a black man, like that would have been so different.

Maybe it would have been different.

And the fact that if it's a maybe is exactly, like, I just thought, I never expected, you know, and all of the shows we're watching now covering the Black Lives Matter movement, I never expected Gina to say what I thought like to be like the most poignant thing.

Like, she just didn't expect it from her, and she really shut the conversation down.

And

I can't believe that I'm about to say, but like, Gina's a queen.

Yep, she, she has queenie vibes.

Queenie vibes are emulating all around.

Yes, I agree.

I just, I liked that moment.

But she said that in her confessional, and I just thought it was a very profound moment.

She said the second thing in her confessional, saying if it would have been different if she was like, she talked about her experience getting rest.

And I loved, you know, when people pull on personal experiences, especially ones that might have been traumatic.

And I just thought it was brilliant, like really brilliant.

And speaking of queenie vibes, as it pertains to Gina, Elizabeth Vargas is my queen and I absolutely love her.

And I feel like

she and Kelly and Gina are like having the best time on this trip.

And Bronwyn, Bronwyn shouldn't have been on this trip.

And to be honest, like Bronwyn's presence on this season in a lot of different scenarios is kind of like polarizing.

Yeah, but here's what I don't like about Bronwyn.

Like last week when everyone was getting together to talk shit about Elizabeth, she's like the big dog on campus.

Like,

she's literally hosting the gatherings.

She's like, talking the most shit, you know, like laughing, haha, when is my season, this, that.

And then she goes to this weekend, and I don't know, her like sidekicks aren't there to back her up.

And all of a sudden, she's like cowering and has nothing to do with her.

I don't want to talk about Shannon when she's not here.

No, and it's like she's one person when she has like people behind her, and then she's another when she has to stand on her own.

Yeah.

And I just thought that was like a really fucking lame thing.

That was season one, spineless.

Yeah, like this.

Ron Manny.

She was so lame when she literally did what I did.

She talks like big shit when everybody's around echoing her, but then like she can't have those same thoughts and feelings when the odds aren't in her favor.

I know, and I felt like badly because I was very sympathetic to her.

Like, she shouldn't have put her, she shouldn't have gone on that trip.

Like, with Kelly and Elizabeth, like, they weren't even trying.

But if she didn't go on that trip, then like she's even even bigger coward.

It's like, wow, you can't even be in the same room as the people that you talk mad shit about.

I know, I know.

Without like Shannon there to back you up.

Yeah, I feel like Bronman got herself in a really bad position because she is being so open about her journey on sobriety and her marriage.

And it's just like, it's really hard for her.

But then she's also starting so much drama and she's really being such a little potster that she has to show up to everything.

Whereas like if she was just, you know, taking her journey to sobriety, taking it easy this season.

We, I wouldn't have cared.

She didn't need to go, but she needs to answer for her sins to Elizabeth.

Yeah, like if you're going to start digging up paperwork, which like you didn't have to do that, then you got to show up and you have to answer.

Nobody asked you to do that.

But I also really liked how Elizabeth and I feel like housewives never do this where she was like, we were having a good time, so I just didn't mention it.

Like, I feel like that's something that I would do.

It's like, not everything needs to be confrontation.

On the show, it does, and I'm sure she will bring it up eventually.

But it's like, it didn't need to be the first thing out of her mouth.

I agree, but I'm eagerly waiting for her to take the medoras down, take Broadwin down.

Like, it really bothered me that she did that.

Elizabeth has been nothing but nice to all of these women, and the fact that like they just don't understand her personal situation required them to like go and investigate.

Like, that's fucked up, and I didn't like that.

And that's mean girl shit.

Yeah, it really is.

And the trip, like, when they were on the beach, like, paddleboarding was pathetic.

It literally looked like the worst housewives trip of all time.

I couldn't agree more.

A group of women, like, who did not want to be together in the middle of a pandemic when like everyone should just be home with their families?

Like, it was so like random.

Yeah, Kelly is like the worst for so many reasons, especially as it pertains to Bronwyn's sobriety.

Like, she just can't help herself, and she's just being awful.

But Kelly is reality television gold, and here's why.

She is on FaceTime with Shannon Medor talking incredible shit about Bronwyn and has absolutely no idea that Bronwyn is standing right in front of her.

No, like, I was so like, I was like, look up, look up.

No, no, stop, make it stop.

Please stop.

It was fucking terrible.

Like, but that's why she's hilarious.

Hilarious.

And it's not like when that happened, she wasn't like, oh my God, I'm so sorry.

She's like, oh, Bronwyn's here.

She walked away.

Gotta go.

Gotta go.

Like, I was so shook.

Whenever they kept going back to OC, I was like depressed.

and like I really wanted to stay in like arrowhead But I thought was what Emily was going through was so interesting

First of all, like I felt so bad for her like even before they took Shane to the hospital like she has COVID She's exhausted.

Her husband is really really sick.

She's taking care of him all while taking care of how many kids did you have three or two Three three little kids like I felt really bad for her and then it's like and you have to think of the time like now It's like COVID.

We've lived with it for so long.

We know more about it.

It's not as scary.

But like when this is happening, like this is peak, you know, confusion, peak pandemic.

And she has to drop her husband off at the hospital.

He's like texting her.

Like, he's like, it's like an every hour is like a fight to survive.

I felt so bad for her.

And Emily's my queen.

And I was sad that she couldn't go on the trip.

And then things just went downhill so fast.

Yeah.

My queen.

Yeah.

I was praying for her.

No, it was very sad, but knowing that it turns out okay

is okay.

Yeah.

And I do think it's crazy that Shannon like didn't get it.

So far, no.

Right, so far.

I don't know if she ends up getting it, but at this moment in time, she doesn't, her and John don't have it.

Yeah, also, I guess next week, like, she's starting to, like, she's now mad at her kids because they got it and made her go quarantine with John and they're like annoying each other and she thinks she's going to lose her relationship because like John's tired of her.

Yeah.

Which is like, one, don't blame your kids for that, but two, that's like a very real like issue.

And I was actually thinking the same thing.

They were like sitting around all day, just like not, you know, just, it's not like the best.

situation like you never want to feel that way when you're like and the house looks small yeah yeah so I was like wow don't these people like get sick of their new boyfriend no i don't know how people do it so it's it looks like she'll be talking about that next week but shannon like should be mad at her kids for like if you if if i if ben or someone in my home had like an autoimmune disorder it was like very high risk you take incredibly different precautions than you do when you're two young people who are knock on wood like relatively healthy so the fact that like her kids were like running out and partying while living home with their mom like was irresponsible and she should be mad at them for that not for john yeah she's mad about the wrong thing yeah no I think she was mad about that like last week.

And now next week, it looks like she's like mad that she's in this situation because of them where she has to spend so much time in close quarters with him.

And like it might put a damper on their relationship.

Yeah.

But all in all, I thought it was actually a pretty interesting episode, especially as it pertains to like covering what was going on in the world at the time when with COVID.

Like sometimes I find those like flashbacks like in Southern Charm and all these shows to be like a little traumatizing.

I just don't want to go back to that place.

But I thought how they did it this week was super interesting because there was a lot going on.

Yeah.

Also when they're wearing those face shields and they forgot to take the film.

I did that.

I did the same thing.

And when Gina was like, I thought it was frosty.

I literally thought the same thing.

I like, I didn't even question.

I was like, okay, so it's a little blurry.

Yeah.

By the way, I literally did the same thing.

And then you came to the office wearing it.

I'm like, Jackie, there is a peel thing that you have to do.

No, I was like, I love this thing so much.

Like, I don't care if I can't see.

Right.

No, totally.

That was so funny.

So much of it was like.

like funny and relatable in a sense.

And I didn't find it so triggering this time.

Yes, it was funny and relatable.

Now for Real House Wise of of Salt Lake City, honestly, nothing happened.

It seems like we're gearing up for like a big Sundance week next week.

But I did find it really interesting how they keep saying Lisa is like the queen of Sundance.

And I wanted to see her actually at Sundance like in her element.

And to be honest, I thought it was going to be a joke, but she was like doing real parties.

That was millionaires.

Maybe.

I know.

That was cool.

That wall of like PO.

That was cool.

That's like a big ass documentary that came out.

WME talent agency party.

Like she was legit.

Yeah, she was legit.

And a lot of times.

I'm unclear on what she does.

Is she a party planner oh that part i don't know because she described it and then i realized i had tuned it out and then i oh my god and then i was like i don't want to rewind because it came back right after commercials because then i'll wind up watching more commercials and so i was like maybe i'll catch it next time i just think she's like one of those and baby was like branded event managers yeah like event coordinator yeah i don't think she's a party planner but yeah

she does like the brand integration at events she's like an event coordinator a brand integration coordinator lifestyle yeah um events so i have i'm struggling with Salt Lake City, and maybe you can help me understand.

I love Meredith.

Like, I think she's a queen.

But

I can't really put into words, like, how much I don't care about her son, period.

Her son's clothing line with his name written on it when his name literally carries no weight.

And three, her son's fashion show.

Like, and to be honest, at first, like, I think her son Brooks got a little ahead of himself because at first he was like funny and sassy and now he's just straight up annoying and thirsty.

No, annoying, thirsty, and just annoying, like when he's crying because his dad's not there.

And it's like, come on.

And I do feel bad.

I don't want to like

when Meredith, oh, yes, but no, he has

inserted himself.

But also, he is confessional.

Like, he is holding a snowflake.

Like, he is, has put himself in the ring and wants to be talked about on the podcast.

Well, he's thirsty.

And yes, he is thirsty.

And I think that he's very much interested in everything that comes along with being a housewife, including this part.

I agree.

And I just, I was not, I was not here for any of it last night.

Except when they were getting ready, I really wanted to like kill the kid because he was like, I'm late.

I'm like, you have this opportunity.

Get up and go.

Pack your suitcase.

Mom, where's my slippers?

Mom, what are you?

Five years old?

You're 19 years old.

Find your own fucking shoes.

But then when the alarm went off and the toilet overflowed, like that was actually funny.

Oh my God.

No, to me, it was so annoying.

Like, because Bruno was like up because he was barking.

I literally had to lower my volume to like three because Bruno was like, what the fuck's going on?

No, no but that was so funny and that is something that would happen in my house like oh got a big work opportunity toilet overflows yeah no i felt stressed for meredith but i just felt like he was just

not being helpful like not taking advantage of the opportunity and also like him crying because his dad missed his first park city fashion show and it's really just track suits with his name on it like any like uh no and it's like you help me no i don't want that

no this is what i was trying to say before i felt worse for meredith when she was describing it because she felt so she was yeah she felt so guilty that she even put her son in a situation where her his dad wouldn't be able to be there for him but it's like this situation just isn't it.

But Brooks is like a little bit of a brat because Brooks, hi, you have the privilege of dropping out of college, living at home, and starting your own fashion line with like your parents' money because your dad has to go to Ohio and start this company.

So it's like,

either take take the

take it all or none of it.

So it's like, it was just so, I'm like, he's like crying.

I'm like, oh, all the money you poured into my fashion line.

I'm like, no, you can't come.

It's like, well, it can't come because he's working to pour more money into your fashion line.

But it's like, if you're so concerned about your dad seeing your fashion line, like have a show in the living room.

Like, this is about everyone else.

This is about like the world, the city seeing it, the exposure.

Like it's not about mommy and daddy.

No, 100%.

Like and that's and that's like a telltale sign.

Like maybe you're not ready for a fashion line because all you care about is your chest, okay?

All you care about is like your dad, not like the buyers.

Yeah.

No, he's not caring about the buyers.

No, no.

I don't work in fashion, but I actually briefly did.

And I know that it's all about the buyers.

It is.

And it's like, yeah, I don't want to go too hard on him.

No, me too.

Because he's cute and funny.

Where he's like gluing on the like labels and he's like sad about his dad i'm like get to fucking work no park city fashion week no and i have to say we always rail on like obscure cities having like their first annual fashion week like oc when it was on a boat was like so pathetic like i literally could have cried myself to sleep and who was it that started yelling at the drink that random woman kathy kelly kelly got into it because this this woman kathy who's like a mom she was like coming for the kids yeah she was coming for the kids that was crazy um but i have to say like of all the sad fashion weeks we saw even like at new york fashion week when some of the new york housewives and beverly hills housewives go and it's really sad park city's fashion week didn't look so terrible i have to say it didn't compare to some of the other things that we've seen but it actually compared to kyle and chahita actually got me thinking about fashion weeks in general and i think that like the real house eyes fashion the real house eyes franchise is absolutely destroying fashion weeks around the world globally i couldn't agree more because now the phrase fashion week is just it's so cringy it's tacky because it's like it's kyle and chahida Yeah, no, it's, it's everything.

It's the boat.

It's Brooks.

And now it's like housewives' kids.

Like, Bronwyn's kid was a designer.

Now they're all modeling.

They're all designers.

Like, it's pathetic.

It's pathetic.

But back to like the other 95% of the episode.

It was kind of boring.

Like, honestly, nothing happened.

Winnie had that party for her kids.

And so fun.

Me too.

Like, she's so sweet.

She is so sweet.

She loves her husband.

She's so fun.

She's so positive.

She, like, will

be a good friend to Jen while also not talking shit about Mary.

Like, get you a friend who can do both.

She might do over for like a tequila and hot tub night.

Like, is that what they do in Utah?

It was just, it was beautiful.

It was beautiful.

I really think that Whitney was like the MVP of the episode.

Yeah, Heather is really good.

She's so fucked up.

But also getting together, like, when they went to get drinks, and like, Whitney was just like being the biggest cheerleader, and Heather was being so honest.

And Heather was like, every time I go for it, like, my hand gets slapped.

And Whitney's like, keep going.

Like, it was just so cute.

But Jen Shot was on Watch Opens Live, and she said the next morning Heather showed up with the dude.

So they obviously got it on.

And I was just so happy for Heather.

Oh my God, that's really great.

I love Heather.

The introduction of the Vanna Prump Rules cast was like weird.

And I'm not sure why they were there.

Like there was no drama, but they were just there.

I enjoyed it.

Yeah, I think they were just like at Sundance actually.

Right.

And then there was maybe like one of the producers works on Prump Rules and they just went to the party and I enjoyed it.

Yeah, me too.

Yeah.

Jen Shaw like has to start throwing parties at other places.

Yeah,

but the parties that were in last night's episode like were legit.

The party for Whitney's Whitney's husband, like that house was so fucking nice, stunning, stunning.

Shen Shaw's party looked lit as hell.

Like these are real parties, not like sad house.

Like what we've gotten to in like New York of what a party looks like is like the eight people in a room.

And like Mindy, Miss, what's her name?

Misty.

Misty, like the housewives, like of friends of housewives, like Barbara.

Like, it's always like the same ragtag and then like a bunch of gays.

Like it's always the same group of people.

And it's never like an organized event.

It's always like an empty event space with like a balloon.

100%.

So I agree.

This was like a dynamic party with different people from different walks of life.

Lots of men, women, like there was just a lot of people.

It was just like people who were straight men, straight women to be there and don't work for the cast members.

Totally.

It was just, yeah, they're not on the payroll.

Like, exactly.

And they haven't been to every event on the season so far.

Yeah.

This was just like people in town.

Start looking closely at New York.

Like, everyone who's in the background of every party is at the end of the day.

They're paid extras.

No, they're at this, like, no, they're like the publicist and the

house.

Yeah, no, I know what you mean.

Yeah.

It's like literally the housewives and their crews and their crews.

So it's all the crews in one.

Yeah.

It's sad.

Yeah, but these parties are not sad.

Like they're very legitimate.

And yes.

And Heather found a man.

And Heather, yeah.

And that's why it's like at these New York parties, they can never find a man because, first of all, the only guys that are there are their gay friends and the straight guys that are.

And they're a scarf guy.

And it's the same two guys, that guy and Harry Dubin.

Yeah.

So it's like, why do all the New York women only fuck the same guys?

It's like, because they're the only guys who show up to the parties.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I was so happy for Heather.

So happy for her.

No, it's still just, it's so enjoyable.

And in terms of Jen Cha and Mary,

I'm turning more towards Jensha.

I think there was a few things that Mary Lake didn't said this episode that I just found to be unreasonable.

And I like.

She said her grandfather's brother's daughter works for her.

So they're related.

She's worked for her for years, but she doesn't know what she does.

in her personal life outside the tasks she does for her at home.

Yeah, that was weird.

That was so weird.

And but I did think the conversation that Mary and Jen had at

Whitney's husband's party was productive.

And I hope that it's like we can actually move on from this.

I know.

But I thought we were going to move on from it at the hospital, and to the hospital.

I know, I know.

I'm just holding out hope, like, once again, that we can really move on.

Yeah, me too.

All in all, it was a great episode.

Yeah, it was.

And it was a great week of Housewise.

Yeah, tonight we have Southern Charm.

Yeah, that's it, right?

Yeah, I think so.

Okay, good.

I'm like on back to back to back.

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week, we all, we had

shows.

And 30.

Two hours.

Oh, wow.

So

Two Bachelors, Atlanta and Potomac, OC and SLC.

So, now we have just Southern Charm Tonight.

We'll be recapping it tomorrow for our last show of 2020, you guys.

So sad.

That's so crazy.

We'll see you next year.

We hope you have an amazing die.

Die.

We hope you have an amazing die.

I plan on having an amazing die, but you just never know what can happen with the snow and like my chest, and I'm a little sore.
