S3 Ep199: Doxing Through The Snow: Monday, December 7th, 2020

Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to I added a little extra, a little bit of spice.

Welcome back to the morning toast, everyone.

Happy Monday.

Hope you had an amazing weekend.

It's sadly come to an end, you know.

That's what I've learned as an adult.

It's that all good things, including the weekends, must come to an end at some point.

It's so sad when that happens.

It really is.

But in reflecting on this past weekend, I personally had a great one.

I feel like I got the most out of my weekend.

You know, I did so many different things, sort of.

I watched a lot of different stuff.

I saw some different people.

And I feel like it was a hearty, good-ass weekend.

Good balance.

Good balanced weekend, exactly.

I feel like that's also like one of the struggles of my adulthood is figuring out how to balance like...

wanting to do things on the weekend that like I want to do like catch up on stuff see people but also like not be hungover like how do you balance that no that is it's a it's a tricky thing it is so I think eventually you just start drinking on Fridays instead of Saturdays so that like you're you have more time so you have more time to heal.

Okay, like, I'm getting there, but I'm just, I'm struggling right now in the balancing act.

I'm so sorry for you.

And I feel like that's a common problem amongst us 26-year-olds.

It is.

I remember when I was 26,

I was struggling between wanting to watch stuff all day.

And this little sweet man,

sweetest thing.

Bruno's back from camp.

Bruno's back from camp.

We got him on Saturday, and he is just a joy.

And it was so nice to like bring him home to his new place, which like we really got for him.

And we designed with him in mind in every corner.

And I just, it's just been so nice having him.

Like I feel like when I didn't have him for the week, like I almost forgot that he existed in my life, you know, it was like a dream.

Yeah.

And now that he's back, we're just in heaven.

We watched Housewives together last night.

He's just the cutest, sweetest thing.

And we're, it was really a great weekend for because of the new apartment, getting Bruno back.

I finished Redhead's book.

We recorded Redhead's book.

I watched my new phone.

I watched so much content.

And it was really productive in that sense.

So for our TV recap, we're going to talk about Potomac and Real Housewives of Atlanta started last night.

But really quickly, just random things that I watched over the weekend, just like that aren't official enough for the official TV recap segment.

Yes, I have some as well.

I watched SNL with Morgan Wallen.

I watched most of it too.

I have to say, like, and this might be like a real

lightning rod when I say it, but like Jason Bateman.

It's like so averagely like everything.

Do you know what I mean?

Like he's just so unremarkable in so many ways and i was like just surprised that he even like got the gig you know yeah i mean i think he would even admit that himself when he said in his monologue like he was on 15 years ago and they never asked him

like i think that is who he is yeah no that's true and he plays characters that are like also so unremarkable but yeah but someone has to play that guy yeah i just yeah but that guy doesn't get on snl like that's why i just thought it was really i thought his monologue was like so subpar like fast forwarded through it once i realized that it stung he told one story about like the monkey yeah that was the whole monologue and then i started fast forwarding and i get that like certain people have longer monologues his was like four minutes like i think the average time is like six or seven it was just like so meh yeah i agree i was there for morgan wallen and he didn't disappoint though i do feel like they don't know how to do acoustics on country stars because like the music's always too loud and you can't hear their voice i thought the exact same thing even though that's not an snl problem that's like they bring all their own band like it's them i just i don't know I just don't feel like they're equipped for like country phenomenon.

I just have to say, like, of course it was really unfortunate the way things happened with Morgan Wallen the first time around, but I feel like it was almost better this way because he got his own skit and like he really made more of an impact than if he was just like any other performer.

Yeah, and it became like a joke in the culture and it's just a funny joke.

And I actually think that the skit that they did for him was like so funny.

I thought it was a funny idea, but the execution wasn't that funny.

So Morgan is obviously like not an actor and his timing was just off because he would like make the best jokes when the audience was laughing and like you couldn't hear him.

So he had like this funny Dave Chappelle joke that literally no one could hear because everyone was laughing from the previous joke said by wo and yang or something got it so it was um it was good i mean i had such a low bar for snl when they make me like but honestly last night's or saturday night's episode like i don't think reached the bar oh and the bar

so low no i i don't think it hit i watched a few of the sketches and they started out funny like the one with the girls sleepover and the period i was like this is gonna kill it like that was so funny the concept is hysterical also those two cabaret singers doing outdoor dining like i thought that was really funny i fast forwarded once i realized it wasn't funny oh i thought it it was funny.

So, I thought it had like moments.

I didn't think there was one.

Like, I literally think it was like the worst of the worst.

Kate McKinnon is just like, she

really must be so tired from just like carrying this entire franchise on her back.

Keenan 2.

Yeah, the period thing.

She was being sick.

But I thought maybe they didn't land the plane.

No, me, me.

And it was such a good concept.

It was such a good concept.

And then it was like, I am Spartacus.

Like, it was all of our periods.

But it actually would have been funny if it was just like not Kate McKinnon's, you know?

Like, yeah.

No, like, when she got up, she did have like period on her back.

butt.

Like,

it was such a funny sketch, like, and honestly, even though I was just like railing on him, Jason Maitman was the perfect dad, like, for that situation.

A hundred percent.

So, he's never gonna be like the star of a sketch because he's just so mediocre.

Yeah, I agree.

I also watched Happiest Season, the new Hulu Christmas movie with Kristen Stewart and Dan Levy, and I would totally recommend it.

Okay, it started out like a little corny Christmas movie, and I was

surprised, right?

My favorite, but I was surprised because because like kristen stewart is so artsy she's so elevated the fact that she even took this role i think she just wanted to do to like further you know diversity in like the christmas movie because there's not many like lesbian christmas movies 100 but as an actor she's like so above it no but like by the end of the movie as a whole like the end was so strong and like so good and there was so much and i feel like she really didn't she's such a great actress like you always forget I never forget.

No, like, you know, because of Twilight and I guess other things that she's in.

No, but you don't know because of Twilight.

You think someone who's in that movie is like a shitty actress, but then you watch it and you realize it's literally like the Sistine Chapel, like a true piece of art.

No, and she's just like, she was being a great actress.

Dan Levy was in it and he was really great too.

And Victor Garber's in it.

And, you know, he's only in like the most premium content.

What a cast.

Victor Garber.

Allison Bree is in it.

I'm sorry.

I,

anytime she's on my screen, like, I just, I hate the thing that I'm watching.

That's why it was hard in Mad mad men.

I didn't know she was in it.

And had I known, I might not have watched it.

Like, seriously.

I thought she was good in this movie.

I don't think she'll bother you in this movie.

Don't you think she has like just really annoying energy?

Yes, but like sometimes she plays a character who you're supposed to be annoyed by.

Right, like in how to be single.

It's like she was so annoying in this movie.

Oh my god.

Yeah.

Stop.

The girl with the laptop in the bar.

Stop.

Like obviously she ended up with the guy who owned the bar.

Like it was just so silly.

So yeah, that's like the pinnacle.

But this was good.

It was good.

You should watch it.

And it definitely gets you in the spirit of the season.

Well, I'm having no no trouble getting into the spirit of the season.

Anything else you watch before we dive in?

No, I feel like that's it.

And then Housewives, so yeah.

Yeah, it was a big Housewives night.

I have a lot to say.

Yes, so much to say.

And we'll get to it right after we deliver the past five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

Yes, Jackie, but as this morning when I was brooching my teeth, getting ready for the show, I thought to myself, man, I can't wait to get on and read my 60-second read about Bruce, one of my favorite products.

What is Bruce, you ask?

I'm so glad you did.

It is our favorite product here at the Morning Toast.

The best electric toothbrush on the market.

And the best part of it is that it doesn't cost a crazy amount of money.

And it's super cute and sleek looking.

So you don't mind like having it up on your counter.

It has like this magnetic holder that's just really sleek and fabulous.

Brushing your teeth can be a chore, but brooching them is fun and it's 100 times as effective.

Bruch cleans your teeth at 31,000 movements a minute.

Manual toothbrushes tap out at just 300 movements a minute, but many electric toothbrushes are barely barely a step up for manual ones.

And some of them do a good job, but they cost over $200.

Well, Bruch is different because they deliver premier sonic wave technology without the markups that big electric toothbrushes tack on.

So I've been using, I've been broching, excuse me, for, I want to say like six months now.

Yeah.

And it's just really elevated my...

obviously teeth situation, but also like my counter situation because I try really hard not to have like a lot of clutter on my counter, even though I use so many products.

And the brooch is just like, it's the perfect vibe.

It's so sleek.

it's magnetic.

I've seen ones that have like huge bases that you have to charge.

It's just everything of the sort.

So sleek.

And when you get the kit, it includes the electric toothbrush plus three brush heads, a magnetic charging station, and a sleek travel case.

The brush also has six modes of cleaning, which is daily, white, gentle, gum, max, and tongue.

Thank you, Jesus.

All the glory belongs to you.

All the glory.

I mean, literally, I was so happy.

Like, this was just such wonderful news.

I think, like, as a couple, I just like, I'm obsessed with them.

And they're so obsessed with each other.

They are.

And this is just such great news, them, like, growing their family.

And I just, I really, I have nothing other to say than just like smile.

Nope, then smiles all around.

Yeah.

And like, I don't know.

I just like love them.

I feel a really special way about them.

You know what I mean?

No, I do as well.

And I, I, I just want to smile.

Yeah.

It just makes me want to smile.

A lot of people had, um, like guessed this.

Yeah, because there was a picture posted around Thanksgiving that was making people speculate.

Right.

And someone like found, of course, online, like, their baby registry.

So like that really did give it away.

Um, but I don't think they like care.

I just think they wanted to, you know, time it right.

Yeah, wait until the time was right, which time was definitely right.

It's a very sweet announcement.

I know.

I'm just, I know they have some big, big plans.

They've got some big, big plans.

I wonder if there'll be a sequel to the song.

Oh, yes.

Because the song didn't, like, actually, I guess.

Oh, I got a good one.

It'll be called, I got some big, big hands, because you're like a baby's little hand on your palm and you're always like comparing sizes.

Yeah, that's good.

I got some big, I'll send it to him.

I'll send a voice note to Lauren and be like, pitch this to Chris.

I got some big, big hands.

She don't know.

She don't know.

Well, I don't don't know what they're having, but

maybe it's like Lauren don't know how big his hands are.

No, I think she does.

Okay, well, anyways, congrats to the happy couple.

We love some baben news.

We love some baben news.

Where's baby news?

And I'd love to know who's been getting it on during quarantine.

For sure.

Okay, this next story is such an interesting story.

Dion Warwick is going viral for her Twitter exchange with Chance the Rapper, also with Taylor Swift.

She's just on the weekend.

So Deion Warwick is just on Twitter this weekend.

So, I think we should start at the beginning.

So, yes.

Who is Deion Warwick?

Oh, at the way beginning.

Right.

Well, you and I were talking about this last night, and I actually sent you this story because I thought it was so funny.

Yeah, she sent me the story saying Deion Wick's Deion Warwick's story tomorrow.

So, I went and found out what you were talking about.

So, then we were FaceTiming a little bit later, and you were like, Well, why do you want to talk about it?

I'm like, I don't know.

I just think this woman's so funny.

Like, every time I see her, like, she just makes me laugh.

She's like, Oh, it's causing like some ruckus.

And she's like, she looks, I said to you, she looks like

Whitney's dad from

Real House Times of Salt Lake City.

And then you're like, Claudia, what are you talking about?

I said, Claudia, that's Diane Warren.

I said, Dionne Warwick is Titus Andromedon.

Right.

Okay, Schmidt.

So I, and I've known for a while that I could not tell the difference between Diane Warren and Deion Warwick.

I knew that forever because it's confusing because they're both like older women in music.

DW.

DW.

And like their names are so similar.

And to be honest, I was really only familiar with Diane Warren.

And so anytime someone would say like Diane Warren or Deion Warwick, like I just always assumed it was the singer-songwriter, the songwriter with the black hair.

Yes.

So even in Kimmy Schmidt, when he goes on tour with Deion Warwick, the whole time I thought he was on tour with Diane Warren, and I didn't really understand how he could be on tour with a songwriter.

It made no sense to me.

And so, of course, in this situation as well, I too thought that it was Whitney's dad dad from

Salt Lake City.

Got it.

Well, it's a legendary singer, Deion Warwick.

And I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to disrespect.

I just like really got confused.

No, and you know what?

As I was like thinking about it last night, and I was trying to sing it.

And

I was getting confused, too.

I was like, am I sure about this?

It's a Chris Prine, Chris Evans situation.

Yeah, no, their names are just very similar.

And I could see how your wires could get crossed.

But this is legendary singer Deion Warwick.

She took to Twitter.

She was being hilarious.

Hilarious.

So let everyone know her thoughts on certain things and some of the questions that run through her mind.

It was like someone finally gave her the password to her Twitter because she never has tweeted at any of these people and then she just started going off.

And the thing is, she's so well respected that like everyone responded to her.

Right.

So she said, hi, Chancellor rapper.

If you are very obviously a rapper, why did you put it in your stage name?

I cannot stop thinking about this.

And she does raise valid concerns.

She does.

And he said, sorry, I'm still freaking out that you know who I am.

This is amazing.

I'll be whatever you want to call me, Miss Warwick.

God bless you.

With my heart among you, the respect for Miss Warwick.

And because, like, someone could have interpreted this as like slight shade.

Yes, because when you said Deion Warwick's story tomorrow, I googled it, and the first thing that came up was Deion Warwick roasts Chance the Rapper in the weekend.

And I was like, ooh, interesting.

And then I read the tweets through a different lens from a different publication.

It's like, no, she's just like being a cutie.

No, and she's like, genuinely, like, like, this was not a roasting.

It was question and answer.

She's asking a genuine question.

Genuine question.

She also said that Holy by Justin Bieburn, Chancellor Rapper, is one of her favorite songs right now.

She did?

Yep, she did.

By the way, it's one of my favorite songs right now, too.

Holy.

I know.

I was actually singing in my head this morning.

Run into the altar like a track.

Jack Seth.

I just like, I really have a special place in my Jewish heart for Christian music.

Like, I just, I feel the glory.

Yeah.

You know?

The way you hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, holy.

Ho, ho, ho, holy.

Okay, also, speaking of things that we got confused and things we learned on the morning toast, I need to go back to Friday's episode, one of of the funniest episodes of 2020.

Okay, what did we get wrong?

No, we didn't get anything wrong.

We learned a lot, and we learned about the pronouncing of dachshund dachshund.

But then everyone's sending you this Christmas sweater, this Christmas sweater that has a picture of a dachshund, and then it says Dachshund through the snow.

Right.

And it's like, it's not dachshund through the snow.

No, dachshund through the snow.

Yeah.

And also,

dachshund

as the name of a dog is very triggering for me.

If you hang it out.

I totally agree.

I didn't even put that together on Friday.

Dachshund through the snow.

Yes.

On my way to ruin someone's life.

Yeah, but I agree.

The pronunciation, when we learned it on Friday as Dachshund, like I fully understood, digested, appreciated, respected.

I would literally, like, my mind was blown.

But then it's like, obviously, like, a popular Christmas sweater to like, or I saw it on mugs, on like different Etsy shops.

Oh, yeah.

It's just like a pop, it's like a popular phrase dashing through the snow, but dashing spelled as dachshund, dashund.

Yeah, but Dachshund through the snow doesn't sound right.

It sounds like you're like ruining lives through the snow.

Even though you're like on your, in the winter, and you're like on your way to ruin someone's life.

Right.

But Dachshund through the snow sounds like you're like German and you're.

No, it's Christmas time in Germany.

Dachshund through the snow.

On a one-horse open single.

Sorry, that's not funny.

But what else did Dion Warwick say?

She tweeted at the weekend saying the weekend is next.

Why?

It's not even spelled correctly.

She said, if you have the in your name, I'm coming for you.

I need answers today.

But by the way, very valid point.

And the weekend did respond?

Yeah,

it's not in here.

Well, I saw it, and he was like very similar energy to Chancellor Rapper.

Just like

so grateful and excited.

Yeah.

And then also, she tweeted at Taylor Swift.

Less questions, just like showing her love.

Love and support.

And Taylor sent it back as well.

So that's all you missed in Deion Warwick News this weekend.

And we will be sure to keep you updated on the Diane Warren, Deion Warwick, never-ending confusion.

Right now, I'm clear on who's who, but

if enough time passes and I don't end up talking about Deion Warwick or Diane Warren for like another like maybe two months, we'll start back at square one.

So I'm just warning you.

I feel like you'll talk about Diane Warren again with like Grammy's Oscars because she's always nominated for the best original song.

Yeah.

Well, so when Deion Warwick tweeted at Taylor Swift, she was like, I think she said like, I would love to like write or something.

So I thought it was the songwriter.

And I'm I'm like, oh man, these two are going to write the best, best score for a movie.

Like, but then it's Deion Warwick, and I'm sure her and Taylor can make magic as well.

Oh, for sure.

For sure.

Okay, next up, this news is really for you because Matthew Perry is promoting his friend's merch line.

What?

He has.

In his friends, as in his person.

Italicized.

Oh, italicized.

Okay.

Oh, no.

I thought you meant like one of his buddies.

Like a pal.

That would be the worst story.

Yeah.

I was confused.

Oh, my God.

that's so funny.

No.

Matthew Perry made a line of merchandise based off of friends, and he's using his fiancé to model some of the swag.

Which is also an update.

He is engaged to a 29-year-old.

Oh, update.

And she's wearing a shirt that said, could this be any more of a t-shirt?

Does that mean something to you?

It does, but that's like a really bad use of

the joke.

Oh, okay.

In a second.

Could this be any more of a t-shirt?

Like, what?

I don't know.

It's not like they said said it's a it's a spin on Perry's character.

It is.

No.

His catchphrase.

Yeah, his catchphrase was like, could I be wearing any more clothes?

Like, it was just, but, like,

and so I sometimes, I have started to use, like, I say sometimes, like, could I be any uglier?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And

could I be more obsessed with myself?

You know.

I don't understand the use on this t-shirt.

Obviously, it's a t-shirt.

Like, that's just a bad adaptation of the joke.

Okay.

In another post, she's wearing a black hat that has the phrase, what is this?

A baseball cap?

What do you think about that one?

I don't get it.

What is this?

A baseball cap?

Excuse me, I've seen every episode of Friends like 35 times.

I know, I know.

And this stupid merch line is like testing me.

Yeah.

I've never heard that joke in my life.

What is this?

A baseball cap?

No, no.

Well, look, I'm sure it's like, what is this?

Blank from Friends, and then he put in baseball cap because that's what it's on.

What is this?

A blank?

Okay.

Am I bringing anything up for you?

It's like so vague.

Like, what is this?

That's not a joke.

Okay, so suffice to say, like, you're not going to be buying.

Well, so his fiancé is a literary man.

Is the model.

No, she was just taking pictures on the bottom.

Oh, okay.

She was just supporting her fiancé.

And her fiancé knows this person how who made the line of merch?

It's Chandler's merch.

Oh, okay.

He's making friends merch.

That's pathetic.

And his fiancé is supporting his friends' merch.

Okay.

Okay.

This is all very confusing, but I'm seeing now Matthew Perry has a line of Friends merch.

Yes.

That's devastating.

And those are two of the pieces.

His fiancé is quote unquote modeling them on his Instagram.

It's like when you're, this is how People Magazine is.

No, they're modeling it like Margo models for our merch.

Yeah.

You know, I totally get it, but this article was confusing, I'm not going to lie.

I'm so sorry.

That's on me.

Yeah.

I'm really now more fixated on the fact that Matthew Perry has like a merch line from Friends.

Like you, they literally make, without moving a finger, between like all the streaming services and the syndication, they make like $20 million a year off of Friends.

And that's after working on Friends for eight years and making a million dollars an episode.

So it's like, just

sit and enjoy

your money.

Yeah, no, this is definitely like a strange move.

And now I'm seeing another shirt that he made that says, could this be any more of a t-shirt?

But above it, it has like three cartoons of Chandler Bing.

Yeah, I see.

Like Chandler's dancing.

That's just like honestly like dead ass, like not good merch.

And Friends has like done so many collabs.

Like the Friends of the See, I feel like Friends

I feel like this is like the worst piece of merch I've seen I've seen like official friends merch and unofficial like

and they've done makeup collabs we were just talking about and I feel like a lot of it is very good like the branding is always really strong I'm just like surprised because I'm not understanding these shirts yeah no I agree where can you buy them um you can buy them like at the Lincoln bio and what is the link in bio I'm just like curious if it's like I'm gonna go it's like a merch company is it like it's represent.com slash store slash matthew Perry?

Oh my gosh.

Question mark KW equals not found.

Okay, yeah, that's a merch company that I used for my tour.

Like, why are Matthew?

Oh, well, there's so many things.

I mean, they're pretty much like the same catchphrases.

But like on different items.

But on different items.

There's a mug, there's that hat, sweatshirt.

I wonder if it's like a part of his deal because usually you have to pay a licensing fee to use like the name and likeness of characters and like TV shows, but maybe he's allowed to make it.

Yeah, I mean, there's nothing here other than like knowing the joke.

A t-shirt that says, could this be any more of a t-shirt?

I guess, does he use a friends logo in here?

No.

Oh, so maybe this is like a social.

Oh man, that's so, like, lame.

Okay.

I'm not going to lie.

Are you ready for our next story?

Is it the next story brought to you by Everlane?

Yes.

Thank God.

You know what, Jackie?

Can I ask you a question?

Please ask me anything.

I'm an open book.

What makes a pair of jeans or a comfortable sweater perfect?

I mean, I would say there's a few things.

But I think when it fits just right, your clothes shouldn't just match your style or the shape of your body, but what you really care about.

And Everlane makes finding those perfect everyday pieces easy.

Everlane isn't like most clothing brands, and not just because they bypass traditional retail markups.

They partner with the world's most ethic factories.

to make quality clothing with radically transparent pricing.

Sustainability is literally woven into every piece of fabric Everlane uses, from natural fibers to recycled synthetics.

Simple, timeless pieces that are comfortable, durable, and flattering to all body types, from cashmere to cotton, from slim to curvy.

It's really just a fabulous place to find like your everyday uniform staples that like you can feel good about knowing they'll last you a long time because they're made really well and they come from ethical factories.

It's just like truly the best of both worlds.

If you're searching for the perfect pair of skinny jeans, the kind that you wear all week and hope no one notices, Everlane has that for you.

I literally ask.

Yep, dirty jeans five days in a row.

From skinny to relaxed, slim to athletic, you can find the perfect cut that fits your form just right.

And what's cool is that you can fit your uh choose your stretch stretch level like in your material.

So you know I'm getting the stretchiest.

They have vintage style with original original with just a hint of stretching or a body hugging authentic stretch, which is definitely the product for me.

Denim isn't the only essential that they carry because with winter on the way, cozy loungewear is another must-have.

And everyone's looking for like the coziest loungewear for quarantine.

We're going into another lockdown.

And Everlane like really is the products that you need because they have the perfect sweatshirts, cardigans, sweaters, tees, and comfy footwear to keep you cozy all season.

From alpaca and merino wool to terry knit and 100% recycled cashmere perfect for gifting or keep it all to yourself go to everlane.com slash toast and sign up for 10 off your first order plus free shipping and you can get easy returns within 60 days of your ship date so again if you go to everlane.com slash toast you can use uh 10 off your first order but only if you go to the link everlane.com slash toast and sign up love it okay next story some reality tv news jax and brittany are exiting van der Vanderpump rules this was quite shocking was it?

Like, just the fact that they actually left or got fired.

That's also like the other.

That's what's confusing.

I've seen a few people report that it was fired, but their social media posts make it seem like they are exiting it.

But they also said that it was very difficult to share.

They said, although this is difficult to share, Brittany and I will not be returning for another season of Vanderpump Rules.

We're excited to take this time to focus on our growing family and share with you our new endeavors.

Bravo, Evolution and our Vanderpump castmates will always remain close to our hearts.

Brittany posted a very similar statement.

TMZ used the word canned to describe their exit, but I don't know.

I saw Variety that said they were fired and variety is like really like TV.

Like industry oriented.

But I mean, who knows?

At the end of the day, like

in terms of programming and like the cast, like this isn't surprising because there was already like a big gap between like the new and the young people and now like more people over quarantine getting pregnant.

Stasi no longer being around, Kristen no longer being around.

Like there's just like, I feel as though there's too much of a divide now and Bravo's probably gonna stick with like the younger generation and like invest the show in them.

But now it's like

for who remains, like, Sheena and Lala remain, but they like always gave me young, young generation energy.

Like, they've always kind of been in the middle.

Sheena last season like made, opened up the path for her to be with the younger generation.

Lala is younger than the rest of them, but I don't know.

No, but I just meant like Lala was really on with those

older girls.

She was, but she came on in the middle.

Like, the argument could be made for her to lead.

With everyone, but also her and Jeff are both pregnant.

Yeah.

So I don't know if they will.

We need another, like, Vanderbump show.

Totally.

And then also, Tom and Tom, and Ariana and Katie, I think, will stay on the show as, like, the owners of Tom, Tom, and as, like, Lisa's.

Yes.

Yeah.

So I see the path to like how the show reiterates itself, but when are they going to start filming?

They still haven't.

Yeah.

And I just feel like I wouldn't be surprised if next we report like they're they're never going to film again.

No, there's something incredibly like spooky about the legacy of Vanderprump Rules as it stands right now.

Yeah.

Because like I feel in a lot of ways, it really set the bar for like unbelievable reality television.

And the people became so famous and it self-imploded a little bit because so much of why the show was so great is because these were like struggling actors and models.

And then over the course of a few years, they're best-selling authors.

They have successful companies.

And it's like, it just changed the balance of the show, not in a good way.

And the show was still good, but it was was never as good as it was when they were like struggling models, like doing photo shoots on rooftops and like fighting in between takes.

It'll never be that.

So it's like, part of me wants to just say like, let's just let it die.

That I feel the same way.

Like,

I feel like they won't.

No, networks don't know how to let things go.

No, and they don't know how to like

say no to something that's good.

And like where, you know,

there's still an audience, but

I don't know.

I'm just like.

It just, the whole thing feels tainted now.

Like actor Stasi and the whole drama.

Like it just feels like I don't really want to watch it.

No, and like the 2.0 cast, like the freshmen that came in last season, like nobody was really interested in them.

So all the seniors are gone.

We're stuck with this group of people that we didn't care about really when you introduced them to us.

So maybe let's let bygones be bygones.

I know, but it just like makes you think like

about all the people who like, not the new, not the people who came on this season, but the people who've been on for a while, who's like, their life is the show.

Like they're.

Like James.

Yeah, like what are they going to do?

They're influencers now.

I guess, yeah.

Just what have they been doing?

Right, for like this year.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No,

I wouldn't be surprised if they were all in a little bit of a way like struggling financially because the show for the people who've been on for a while pays very well.

Yeah.

Okay, well our fifth and final story, Miley Cyrus asks fan on a date in a TikTok comment.

This is so messy.

Did you see the follow-up?

No, I only saw, so I saw the trend of miley um this is like what has reached the grandparents that miley is like commenting on people's things yeah there's like a trend on tiktok if you use one of her songs from her new album and your video goes viral you in the video you can say like if miley comments like i'll tattoo my face and then like matt miley comments or like if miley comments we will get married right um

and like someone asked miley to comment and she said how about the time and place of our first date like the girl was really pretty yeah so like asking her out what happened from there So, then

some other girl duetted the original girl's video and was like, lol when this girl goes viral with Miley Cyrus, when she's the one that your man cheated on you with.

Like, so she, this girl knows her personally, and now she's like airing her dirty laundry.

Apparently, this second girl's boyfriend cheated on her with the first girl, and then like Miley deleted her comment on the girl's video.

I'm like, Miley, girl, why are you getting involved?

Like, just leave it alone.

Like, it was just so honestly like lame of Miley.

That's really lame, right?

Yeah, yeah.

So, and then this first girl had to make a video like, so there's a lot of people talking about me.

Oh my god.

It was so fucking messy.

It was so stupid.

Like the cycle of implosion was like 24 hours.

It was so fast.

Like literally

in the same day, I saw the first girl's video, the second girl's video, and then the first girl's apology like for like addressing what's happening.

Oh my god, that's crazy.

That's just really, I feel like indicative of like the culture we're living in right now.

Like you can't get a morsel of popularity or fame without like someone trying to bring you down 100 and not that even if this girl did let's say she cheated on

with she was the yeah the other woman let's say that's true like does that make her an evil person like who

it's her personal business yeah it's her personal business and like we don't know the circumstances maybe she didn't know maybe she didn't know and also like who cares oh my god that's so like that's how nitpicky we're getting with our with our influences wow that's like loser on loser

on loser i'm including miley in there too

because it's losery that that girl like had to like call out this girl who was having a moment her cloud chase her cracktails cloud chase her it was losery that Miley deleted her comment what because she it's like Miley you're a celebrity you're not supposed to know this stuff like just like I just it's too involved

and that's how these things go south so fast because I'm sure like Miley's team was like yes PR moment like comment on everything name this baby like

etc and now it's like I'm involved in personal messes.

No, I

honestly, I think this whole like Miley commenting on TikTok sing is like a little thirsty.

Yeah.

Because it's not like just one or two.

Like I've literally seen like 15.

Yeah.

She told one of this girl to name her baby California, another girl to cut her mullet.

Like there was a lot.

Yeah.

No, she's she's everywhere right now.

What she's doing the most for

her new album.

Yes, but I do have to say when I say something negative, I also have to say something positive.

That song Prisoner is excellent with Dualipa.

Oh, I haven't really listened yet, but I've heard like snippets of the album and it sounds amazing.

Yes, I agree.

And I think, you know, I don't want to jinx it, but I think Miley might have, this might be the real Miley.

Oh, I think it's definitely the Miley of right now.

Of right now, for sure.

Okay, the me of what we got, what I came here to do today is talk about Real Housewives of Atlanta and Potomac.

Which one do you want to do first?

I watched Atlanta first, but I kind of feel like Potomac, I'm bursting with things.

Oh, I was really going to say Atlanta first.

Okay, fine.

Fine.

Because, I mean, it was the

opening episode, so there wasn't like a lot going on.

Yeah, we're just like catching up with everyone.

And I feel like watching them like sort of, I guess, coming out of quarantine because it's August.

Yeah, it started in June.

No, it started in June.

When they're sitting down for dinner in Cynthia Bailey's driveway, it's June 3rd.

Oh, okay.

Good to know.

I don't know.

And I like that we skipped the coronavirus.

We also showed us the interviews.

Yes, but like the women talking about like the weight that they gained in quarantine

honestly was so

relatable.

Relatable, but like I just

No one's been talking about that yet.

Like, obviously there's so many like mental health side effects from like being at home and staying at home and like being like you know not having this socializing the way that we're used to but like i have gained so much weight and like it makes me so depressed and like watching kenya and cynthia talk about it like i felt so much less alone i felt so seen i couldn't agree more and i feel like people i agreed like that really um

like for me i i always love the women of atlanta but for me like that particular scene and them just like talking so openly about it like like not even like was a big deal like all right i'm on it i'll lose it whatever like i don't know there was something like refreshing about it yeah there was something very refreshing about it so I had a few thoughts from the initial the first episode the first is that like always and forever like honestly Portia Williams is the queen of this franchise and I have known it for a while and I feel like now everyone else is starting to realize it and I just am glad respect is being put on her name two I just like really can't believe that after all this time we're down to only five Atlanta housewives that Marlo Hampton is still not a fucking housewife and she's in the first scene of the entire show and she's being the funniest like

the funniest she must not want it I don't know that's so crazy.

And it's like when you see the cast photo in the opening credits, they're so few.

And we have a perfectly great housewife.

She's here already, friends with everyone.

Like, where is she?

I don't know.

That is so curious.

I think in every season, but it's.

But now, like, it's a glaring.

Yes, exactly.

I've always thought, like, you know what?

She stirs up hot so much.

She deserves like a platform to be able to like speak her side of things.

Like, she's always just coming in and appearing to be like the bone carrier.

And she is, but, like, maybe she has more to say.

But now it's almost like so obvious that I think that maybe she just doesn't want it I can't imagine that that's the case No, I know I can't imagine anyone not wanting to be like right, especially someone who's on it so frequently Yeah, who like doesn't mind filming comes to most reunions like it's really weird.

Yeah, now it's weird.

Um, I was also catching up on

episodes before and I just like forgot so much that had happened and like how it's so crazy how like The real houses of the land have like reinvented themselves individually like so many times when they were doing flashbacks to Peter and Cynthia's wedding, I was like, who is this woman?

No, I know.

She's just like a completely different person.

Oh, but she was being so funny when her tip kept popping out.

Like, that was just like, they're just so, they're so different from all the other housewives.

Like, they're just so calm.

No, they're just natural and funny and like fun and having a good time and having a laugh.

And I feel like I never feel like so many of them are like clawing their way to like stay on the show.

Like, they're all just very

certain of this.

Like, natural, like doing their own own thing.

And it just is genuinely entertaining.

Yeah.

I love the way they like integrated the, like, what's going on in the world at the time, because like Portia was really like everywhere

in June when George Floyd was murdered.

And I feel like they're doing a really good job of like blending like

life going back to normal, but then also like...

Portia getting arrested.

Yeah, that was crazy.

It was the way that they did.

I feel like they really captured the middle of

June between Black Lives Matter and quarantine and coming out of quarantine and trying to like have a lunch in your driveway with your friends, but like not really sure how to do that.

Right.

Marla with the tape measure.

It's not something I've seen yet from any of my friends, but it was hysterical.

No, she was being really funny.

And like, honestly, I was just, when Candy pulled up, I'm like, okay, Candy and Cynthia are having lunch.

And then when Marla pulled up, I'm like, I was almost like mad.

I'm like, are you kidding?

Like,

make this woman a housewife.

Give us one a peach.

Yeah.

Nothing else happened in the episode.

It was just

a little bit of a distance.

It was was really good.

Also, I just like

had such a soft spot in my heart for Kenya.

Like, I have always, I know, and I know I've missed

I know I've missed a lot of seasons, so like whatever bad things she has done, like I haven't seen them.

And I just remember like when I used to watch, I like really liked Kenya, and I'm watching again, and I really like Kenya.

That's just so crazy to me because I actually you didn't feel for her like in last night's episode?

No, and that's what's so crazy because it's like, even people I don't like on house-wise, like when they're going through stuff, like I always like have empathy for them.

and I have felt and I've just always I've always felt this way that like Kenya Moore is like not who she appears to be like I'm I just like I feel like she's the fakest person and it's like I feel like everything she's put out on television like it nothing none of it is true and like when she goes home I really feel like she takes off this mask and like I just don't believe anything she's saying.

You don't think that last night's episode, like she was being real?

Like I feel like this, the way she's feeling right now is the result of three years of fakeness and like the fake Megan and you know, maybe

like for every up, you have to deal with the down.

And so, when you marry, like, someone, I guess he was like a mystery man sort of stranger.

He was literally like a like an actor, right?

And now you deal with the consequences, and I feel like that's her being real.

I guess.

Just something about like the way that she's acted over the last few years and just treated everyone so poorly.

Like, I just, I don't have any space in my heart to like give her empathy.

I know it sounds terrible.

I just, she's one of the housewives, like, who I just

can't stand.

Got it.

Because she has has been so and every time she does anybody else do people like her.

I think that it's people are divided on Kenya, but like I think like

I just I can I cannot like get on board with her.

Okay.

And every time she does something like once every season she does something that's like just so mean and I'm like oh nail in the coffin But it's like no the one last season was a nail in the coffin like last season when she barged into Marlowe's wig party and like with her marching brand bringing her own products like I was done with her.

And it's like there was something before that.

Yeah.

okay.

And her and Portra don't get along.

And I feel like Portra is a very good judge of character.

And like, I just go with, I go where Portra goes.

I can understand that.

It'll be an interesting season.

Let's see if I still feel this way.

Yeah.

But honestly, the real star of last night on Bravo was the Real House by the Potomac hour and 15-minute finale.

Yeah.

Okay, Real Houses at Potomac finale.

We also got a sneak peek at the reunion where everyone just looks like unbelievable.

And I have to say, before we dive into the drama, I've been very hard on the Real Houses at Potomac this season for their atrocious outfits.

And I thought everyone, with the exception of Ashley Darby, looked very good at this party.

I thought Ashley looked adorable.

She took a figure skater.

She looked.

I did not like that dress.

She's so cute.

Stop.

I love her.

I did not like the dress.

I thought Wendy, who was really like lagging in outfits, looked awesome.

Robin looked great.

Giselle even looked good for Giselle.

It was good.

I don't remember her outfit just like her headband, hair situation was good.

She was wearing just like a white blouse and sparkly silver pants.

Okay, I think I remember the pants.

It was fine.

Like it was very good.

Karen Huger

always looks good.

I don't include her in the group of women who don't know how to dress.

And actually, Candace always does like

very cute in that outfit.

Yeah, agreed.

So it was a really bizarre.

evening.

The whole episode really consisted around this party where we knew like Juan was gonna propose, but then they like tried to make us think for a second that he wasn't.

But Michael Darby knows something.

Michael Darby knows something.

I look forward to finding out what that is.

Maybe that will be at the reunion.

But Michael Darby like was being so fucking two-faced, like talking shit with Giselle and Ashley about like something he knows, like alluding to it, and then going and like taking shots with Juan and being like, bachelor party in Vegas.

Okay, no, Michael Darby, like...

taking off the last 15 minutes, which we'll get to, like up until the point where things went sideways.

He was in the hallway, he was being so funny when he was like, bachelor party in Vegas, no cameras.

I was like, I was actually cracking up hysterical because I think him and Juan like are really such good friends.

And I love to see when-house husbands like have genuine friendships.

So,

and then also I thought Michael Darby was like really, I mean, as a Monique defender, I had to applaud the way that he handled the Chris situation because Chris put his hands on him and Michael Darby just like they just used to.

Michael Darby didn't literally did not touch him back and just like prove the point

of what they were doing to Monique.

Right.

Which, as a Monique stan, I was grateful for.

Then everything turned.

I don't know what happened in that hallway.

With the production room.

That was really bad.

But that was really bad.

I don't know what was going on, and I felt so bad for Ashley.

Like, nothing she was saying was getting through to Michael.

He was just like so drunk and so angry.

I think that's why.

I think he was like so drunk.

And you know how you can't even have an argument with someone who's drunk, let alone try to reason with someone.

So I just felt like there was nothing that any, I don't know what he did in the hallway, but he was just like not, he was beyond reason.

He was so incoherent.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I really felt for Ashley because she literally walked out of that room and saw the cameraman like filming that.

I'm like, no, like when you're in that production room, I guess you think that like the footage is not being used.

That's like a behind-the-scenes thing.

And when she turned the corner coming out of the room and the camera was like right there at her, like her life flashed in front of her eyes.

Right, but then also, like, we have no choice but to stand because she's literally the most amazing housewife.

And like, she'll even like turn on her husband.

Like, oh, yeah.

Like, not that she turned on him, but like, some women like would defend or like try and

smooth it over and be like sweetie, sweetie.

And she's like, shut the fuck up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She was being iconic.

Like, I really love her.

And I think what

even though that fight with Michael and Chris was messy, I think it really proved an important point.

And

Ashley said it so well.

It's like that you, first of all, you came at Monique the exact same way.

So it's like, there's now been two fights, and Candice is involved, and her family are involved in both of them.

Like, maybe you're not like the victim you're pretending to be.

Right.

Also, when Candace starts screaming at Michael, like, you want to come for me?

Like, again, like, you just got into a fight because that was started because it was like jab me.

You're provoking.

Right.

And so, and, but you were so upset by what had happened, yet the situation literally.

You're so traumatized.

You have post-its all over the house, but you literally do it again.

So the situation presents itself again and you behave in the exact same way.

Yeah, no, I'm just like, any sympathy I had for Candace is like so gone because she's just.

Oh, I had no sympathy to begin with.

She's really being like such a victim.

And it's like, you have to own your partner.

You can't be the victim and then also be provoking people.

The thing is, she had a little ground to stand on as the victim because she lost the fight.

Like physically, like Monique had her in, like, in her grasp.

But at the same time, like, when you watch the footage, like, they are both equally as guilty for starting that fight.

You just think that Monique is the aggressor because Monique won.

Right.

Physically.

Right.

The way the episode ended.

And the courts agree.

Right.

The way the episode ended with how it went down in court and Monique laughing was just and what's so crazy is like

saying it was because the lawyer was so messy.

No, Candace saying that like the courts decided to drop the charges because they just thought of it as like reality TV mess.

No, but also the judicial system.

She said because of Monique and all of the things that she was putting out and her messy lawyers, the courts didn't want to deal with it.

Like that's just not how it works.

That's just not how the courts work.

We're like, this is too messy for us.

We're not dealing with it.

And second of all, it's like, okay, so it sounds like she has an amazing legal team who got her out of a situation that you put her in.

Like, you're mad at at Monique for having lawyers who are good at their jobs.

Defending her.

Like,

no, it was the whole, Candace is so irrational.

Someone needs to speak to her and let her know, like, the way that if you want to sue someone, that's the same thing.

They are going to have to defend themselves.

But you have every right to.

Someone has every right to defend themselves, including suing you if needed.

Okay, also, I, like, Robin,

I just can't with.

Can't.

Because honestly, like, her having Candace perform at her party was, like, really losery behavior.

Yeah.

Because up until this season, like they weren't even friends.

I feel like the women are really trying to like make a group of themselves, not including Monique, so that like Bravo has no choice but to let go of Monique.

Right, but it's really worth it.

It's just Giselle, Robin,

Candice, and Wendy, and no thanks.

And by the way, so it's like Candace and Robin were never even friends.

So like the idea of Candace performing at Robin's holiday party makes no fucking thing.

Yeah, they're trying to like stand strong, but it's like, no, this group is weak as hell.

Also, I think the group thinks they're made stronger by giselle's presence because like she is a beloved housewife but not in this way no she's so wrong on this and even the way she's coming so hard for karen okay what am i misunderstanding karen told monique to come at four

then she told candace to come at 515 and then six

How is she trying to ambush them?

No, that is so crazy.

And watching Giselle describe the situation to Cherise, like what she knew happened when she was like, oh, she was trying to ambush

Candace with Monique.

And it's like, no, she wasn't.

And also, because this is a legal situation, Karen would never do that.

Like, to have two people in the same room who are actively engaged in lawsuits against each other, like, she would not.

And she did not.

Do you think also them like making it seem like her flight, she was lying about her flight being delayed?

And they were like, She's not coming because she doesn't want to handle the truth.

And then she came and it's like, oh, she like they don't want her there either.

It's like, she really can do nothing.

No, I totally agree.

Like, literally, she literally can't breathe without being like, you're lying.

You're just trying to dodge.

Yeah.

They were bothering me so much.

The core group, four of them.

Like, they were bothering me me so much.

Once again, Miss Karen Huger getting absolutely no respect, and it was just hard to watch.

It's hard to watch.

But then when, right before the fight broke out, it was really becoming the four against Ashley and Karen when we were really starting to see like the sides.

And

I just, I really am excited for the reunion because I really hope that the women, those four women have to answer for the fact that nobody agrees with them.

Yeah.

At least nobody that I've seen.

Yeah.

Do you think that the reunion is the first time Candace and Monique have seen each other?

For sure, right?

For sure.

Since that.

Even though it's been a full calendar year, which is crazy.

And I also did love watching like a Christmas theme party like this time of year.

Yes, it was very interesting.

But like obviously everything was on delay.

And in general, I don't want to have to wait a year for my housewives, but I just will say like it was a nice touch.

Yes, I agreed.

It was nice to see like the holiday season during the holiday season.

Yes.

And I guess like we should discuss the fact that Robin did get engaged, but I just think Karen just

eviscerated her with her one line.

No, Karen is.

I actually wrote it down because I thought it was so iconic.

I kind of like it.

She is a woman.

She doesn't waste a word.

Yeah, and it's just like everything that comes out of her mouth is just so perfectly set.

She said that she would have liked to have seen Robin get engaged.

She said, this is a moment for Robin.

Robin doesn't get a lot of moments.

I was screaming in my bed.

Like,

it's so true.

Like, I just think the way she said it, it was just so profound and so wise and so well said.

She started out as like a really nice thing.

No, I would have loved to see this moment of her getting engaged because she doesn't get a lot of moments.

No, and it's so true.

Like, I just, I knew exactly what she meant, you know?

No, like, a hundred percent.

I just love Karen.

Like, I just, it's so crazy.

This has really been a very transformative season for me.

And I think for a lot of people, where it's like the way I felt about certain housewives, in Potomac for a while, I really just like liked everyone and never took like a hard side.

Like, I feel like in New York and other franchises, like, I just, I have a hard line and I just like ride for people.

But in Potomac, I just really liked everyone and I saw everyone's side.

And I just feel like this year, there's like such a stark difference that it's like between wrong and right.

And it's like, I just don't land with this group.

Yeah, no, not at all.

And

if the fight had happened and everyone hadn't gone so hard against Monique, like I would have been more critical of Monique, you know?

But now it feels like the way that they're defending Candace as if she did nothing wrong and that Monique is like this horrible person when I don't think that she is, like I feel compelled to defend her at all costs.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

I agree.

And now I think I've just landed.

And I just think the way at the end of the episode where they had Monique and Candace both talking about like the court situation like the way that they both are like spoke speaks volumes about each of them.

Yeah, and we have no choice but to stand and I just feel like Candice really like even beyond this fight like she just does not fit in with this group like I just can't relate to her even at the end when they were like still talking about their family that they're gonna have like

not in any sort of real way and then but she's waiting till after fall because she doesn't want to have an Aquarius because her mom's like I cannot relate.

Yeah, it's just like so childish.

So childish.

And because her mom's an Aquarius, like, that's so fucking rude.

And this whole episode, you're literally talking about how your mom has been there for you so much that, like, it actually makes you want to have kids because you want to be there for someone in the way that your mom was there for you.

I actually thought that was very simple.

Right.

And then to turn around and be like, but she doesn't want a baby like her mom.

No, like, no matter like how tumultuous your relationship is, like, talking like mean things about your mom on TV, who like literally bought you a house, like, let's not.

Also, I just think the idea of revolving childbirth around horoscopes, no offense to anyone who's doing it, is

insane.

That's insane.

Like, it's insane.

and it's like it's already like so hard to get pregnant it's like now we're miracle no matter what no that's crazy it comes in that's crazy like yeah i i i do believe there's something to horoscopes like i'm not saying i'm not a scared no like it's interesting stuff but like my gosh literally create or not create life because of it i hope they were joking i don't know i actually love that like throughout housewives history in every franchise at every finale they still do that like freeze frame thing with the message it like it's like my favorite part, and it's like so sweet.

I always like almost cry.

Like, I love it.

Yeah, it's super cute.

It was a good season.

I mean, reunion is going to be so good.

It was a really, really good season.

And I'm glad we got out of the phase of next week.

Looks really good.

Yeah, even though next week does look really good.

And the binder.

The binder.

I mean, I just hope that the justice that needs to be delivered for Monique is thoroughly delivered.

You know, that there's no like question marks, if it's, ands, or buts.

No, like, I'm really, like, I'm putting a lot of pressure on this reunion to undo all that was done.

And like if I don't get what I want, like I'll be upset.

Yeah.

And I also love when the men come out.

I also think we're going to need, like, in order for the justice, even if it is served at the reunion, in order for it to be, like, fully served, we're going to need a cast change up.

Yeah.

And I would like to call for the removal of two people.

Candice and Wendy?

No.

Candace and Robin.

I mean.

And mostly because even though like I'm fine with Robin, I think she's fine and she has some funny moments.

Like she's become this sort of like crutch for Giselle.

Yes.

And Giselle just has like power in numbers because she always knows that Robin's on her side.

And I think Robin is uninteresting because of it, because she doesn't like form her own opinion.

She just takes what Giselle has to say.

And I don't think she's contributing really anything in that way.

Also, I'm so glad you brought up Robin because I had this thought the whole episode.

I'm like almost 100% sure that production paid for this party.

Because it was like nice.

Because it was open bar and they like kept saying like open bar.

And it's just like this season has been like a lot of Robin's financial issues.

Yeah.

And I just, like, I just looked, that was such a nice party.

Like, there's no way that party costs less with open bar than like $20,000.

Like, yeah, it was really expensive.

Does production usually pay for the parties at the Women Host?

No, but I've started to notice because they need a nice event at the end of the episode.

And I really feel like Bravo paid for Sonia's bingo drag party the end of this New York season because it was, it too was like a very expensive party.

And I,

excuse me, I just got the vibe that it was like paid for by production, like that was just the vibe that I got, and I got that vibe with Robin's party, too.

Oh, interesting, yeah, that wouldn't surprise me.

And they just kept like breaking it up.

It was glad for it.

It actually looked like a fun party, and everyone got really dressed up.

Yeah, and there were so many people there because Robin and Juan actually invited their friends and family because they were getting engaged, and so it wasn't just like eight women in a room fighting.

Yeah, and I actually thought the way that like everyone reacted, like screaming when Robin and Juan got engaged, was very sweet.

Oh my God, it was hilarious!

Yeah, like literally running up to her when it wasn't even over yet.

It was funny.

It sounded like a really nice way to get engaged.

Yes, I agree.

And you know, I'm happy for Robin that she had that moment because she doesn't have a lot of moments.

No, she doesn't.

So I'm very much looking forward to next week.

And hopefully Atlanta starts to pick up.

It's our first season without Nini Leaks, and I literally forgot.

Like, I didn't even realize that there was anything different.

Yeah, the cast is so small, but it doesn't, since their personalities are so big, like it really doesn't feel that small.

And we're going to get a new housewife that we're going to be introduced to.

So last night was really Four Women Plus Marlowe.

Yeah, even though like i said i was watching old episodes leading up to the season premiere and like nini is she's just like

she's undeniably like a force like and and i do think that

moving forward like we will feel her absence i didn't feel it last night because the season before this and maybe the one before that she wasn't even on the first episode because she was fighting with all the women so it's like her not being in an episode isn't uncommon anymore but her not being in the season like i do feel like we will miss her energy like she really is everything of the sort like memeable jiffable like she is that and i and i I do think there will be an absence.

Yeah, for sure.

But that's all we got.

Anything else you want to say before we wrap up?

No, that's all she wrote.

Got to get home to Bruno Sweets.

And new episode of The Redheads drops on Thursday.

We just recorded it.

It is honestly.

I heard it was.

It's such a good one.

Plus, we did our like year-end recap of all the books that we read this year for the Redheads, which were our favorites.

And other, we all shared what books we read on our own that were our favorites of this year.

So if you're just looking for good book recommendations to talk about the year in books, also 2020 being the year of the Redheads, it's like what everyone's saying.

Head over to the Redheads.

And also, the book we read this month is like it.

It's an extremely good book and well-written and smart.

And then you get to listen to the episode.

So make sure to do that.
