Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the morning toast.

Happy Thursday.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week.

We are.

You smell that?

We're so close to Friday.

Yeah,

I'm feeling good about the rest of the week.

I feel like it's really downhill from here.

We are belatedly celebrating hump day because T-H-E-O is in the building.

He chose to sit with his auntie just for a little bit.

I know he's going to leave me soon, but it means so much to me that he is up here right now.

Like, it's been a while.

I don't know if you guys

pay attention to who he sits with, but he's really been choosing you over me like every single day.

Well, I think he knows that mama's tired because I was up all night consuming so much television.

oh Oh my god you don't even know three hours of the cma awards premiere of real housewise of salt lake city and then a very subpar below average mediocre episode of real housewise of orange county plus five hours i watched watch what happens live because the cast of salt lake city was on and it hindered my so let me i heard it was wild and i was so tired you didn't really miss that much but i just wanted to see how they like were on watch what happens live because you know it's like when the it's it's they're not pretending like they're just being and in salt lake city like they're in charge but like at watch what happens live like andy's in charge and i really just it didn't change my opinion on anyone i just um actually maybe a little bit on lisa like we'll discuss okay we we'll discuss because who the fuck is lisa um

but no last night i was up till 12 30 watching tv and i hadn't even started Orange County and I had to watch Orange County this morning.

Also, so weird, I go to turn on the CMAs last night at 8 p.m.

and I can't get it on my YouTube TV.

And I finally realized on Twitter that YouTube TV was down for like

40 minutes from 8 to 8.40.

So it was like prime TV watching time that I got backed up on.

And I wasn't planning on watching the whole CMAs.

Me neither.

But they started.

I was captivated.

And they were such a pleasure to watch.

It was a real award show.

It was a breath of fresh air.

It was a real award show.

Like there were people there.

It obviously wasn't like a packed stadium or arena like it usually is.

It was like a dinner party for I would say about 50 people.

But not only was it a real award show, but they don't waste time.

Like the CMA awards, they go from award to performance, commercial award, performance.

Like I feel like other award shows, there's so much wasted time with like people trying to make jokes and monologues and all these like pre-packaged like packages.

And I just, I did not plan on watching the whole thing either, but it was truly captivating.

It was just, I, it was the first normal feeling thing that I've watched in a very long time.

And I was like, not only am I enjoying this, but I want to encourage this.

Like they found a way to have everyone in the room.

We got celebrity actions.

And really, because no one's booked and busy, everyone showed up.

Everyone.

Except for Casey Musgraves, but everybody who was nominated in the big categories was there.

And like, it was just a star-studded affair.

And the performances were on point.

And I was really just thoroughly enjoying myself.

So I was like, I'm not going to stop here to go watch OCD, then come back during a commercial.

Like, I was like, I'm going to enjoy this.

Well, I definitely wasn't going to leave the CMAs, which I was really enjoying for the Real Housewives of Orange County because it was just like, in general, a trash franchise.

And last night was, in particular, like a really bad episode.

So I did leave a little bit to go watch Salt Lake City because I was really excited about just the prospect of a new city, a new franchise for housewives.

And it really did not disappoint.

It did not disappoint.

I have many thoughts on that and Orange County, which we will be recapping in our TV recap segment as usual.

But it was just, it was a busy night for us pop culture folk.

And tonight is not different.

We have Kardashians and Southern Charm.

Yeah.

So it's not terrible, but it's just a lot.

No, but that I can manage.

But we had three hours of CMAs, two of

five, and then watch what happens five.

So five and a half hours of television.

Oh, no.

Five hours and 45 minutes because the Real Houses of Salt Lake City was an hour and 15 minutes last night.

I didn't even notice that it was extra long because I was just enjoying every minute of it.

It was an extra 15 minutes long.

Also, yesterday, I did something so fun.

I did a Peloton class with the Pellet Toasters.

We did a six o'clock, one of the new Beyoncé rides that we were talking about.

And

I rode with 25 East Coast Pellet Toasters.

We we were all on the leaderboard together.

And honestly, like we were all in the group after like talking about how we, I didn't PR, but a lot of people did because like we're competing with each other and like someone like goes ahead of you and then you want to get back.

And it was really motivating and really fun.

So if you like the toast and you like to Peloton, head over to the Pelletoas Facebook group because they do these group rides all the time.

All the time.

Yeah.

Well, I don't have a Peloton, so I guess I'll just have, I guess I'll just have to sit in bed all day.

Always come over and use mine.

No, actually, sorry, sit on the couch all day.

I got to start changing my verbal.

I was on the couch till till 1230 last night.

Oh, wow.

Oh, well, so I only got home at like six o'clock yesterday because I was recording my audiobook, which was, honestly, I'm not going to lie.

When before I left here yesterday, I was like really dreading it because it just sounds like boring.

But my God, I had so much fun.

The five hours just flew by and my book is so funny, you guys.

Pre-order now, girlwithnojob.com slash book or tap the link in my bio on my Instagram.

I have all the links now for Canadian retailers.

But it really would mean a lot to me if you guys could pre-order it.

It just like makes a difference.

Like if I'm trying to get into bookstores, like I'm just, my goal is to get to the airport.

Like I feel like you have made it when your book is sold at the airport.

So in order to get there, I just need lots of pre-sales.

So Amazon, Barnes ⁇ Noble, indie bookstores.

It's been a tough time for your local bookstore.

So maybe go in there and ask if they can order it for you.

Ooh, that's a nice idea.

But yes, it was very fun.

Like I...

I didn't know what kind of vibe I wanted to go for.

And I was really nervous in the beginning.

So I'm actually going to redo the introduction because I was sounding like a freak, like just trying to be like all like presidential.

But then I realized, like, I'm like, I need to lean lean into this.

Like I need to talk like my normal self.

But my God, every 10 seconds they would like buzz me and be like, you got to slow down.

And it was just really hard.

But I have to go back two more times.

And it was really fun.

That is really fun.

And also, oh, yesterday I posted podcast episode with Dana.

Yes, I heard the reviews are in.

I was listening to some of it, some of it, and it's just so funny.

Like I actually, I never make you listen to like, should I do without you, but I think you should listen to it.

Do you know when the last time you said that was?

What?

The first Patreon with Dana, and I did listen to it on a plane.

Wow.

Yeah.

So here we go again.

I feel like we have a lot to cover.

We have the CNAs to recap.

I think like we have so much TV to recap.

I think we should.

Not Daily Dally.

Not Daily Dally.

I do think we should dive right into the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

And Jackie, can you just remind me what day it is?

It is Thursday.

Okay, wait, before I dive into my little skit, in my book, in the intro, there's a use of remiss, devastated, and heartbroken.

And I was reading the sentence and they kept making me redo it.

And I had to explain to them.

I'm like, no, I'm saying it weird on purpose.

Like, it's a podcast thing.

And they were like, why are you pronouncing remiss, devastated, and heartbroken so weirdly?

I'm like, I really don't have time to explain it, but just like, let me do my thing.

Yeah, and like, so offensive that they didn't listen to your podcast.

I know.

Also, are you able to like ad lib at all while you're reading your book?

So I asked before if I was like the publisher, if I was allowed to, because like, you you know, that's so me.

Right, like to throw in a laugh, a parentheses.

Laugh, yes.

Okay.

But like hardcore, like me doing stand-up.

No, no, but like if you wrote something in the book, but then you have like an additional thought about it.

Yeah, so I did that twice yesterday.

They said like don't push it because it really needs to remain true to the script, like the text.

But

I talk a lot about writing my book, like the process of it.

And just like, I break down the fourth wall, like the fact that I'm talking and writing in a book.

And in an audiobook, you're not supposed to do that because it's not a book.

it's an audiobook so it's like very confusing having to like change a few things but for the most part they really recommend that you stick to the the text of the book but you know that's hard for me i don't know i just feel like that's so fun like there are like like little treats in an audiobook that you can't get from the text oh no and like in my um book like i reference a few songs that just like made me the woman i am today of course you're gonna sing them and um i literally walk in and i'm like she's like do you have any questions i'm like no but like i'm allowed to sing right and she's like no but mariah carrie sings on her audio they're her own songs So it's a copyright infringement.

I have this secondhand serenade lyric that just really molded me as a woman.

You should reach out to Second Hand Serenade because I feel like that's a good idea.

Do you know how hard it was for me to say the lyric instead of like, but what is it?

Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you over again.

And there's a whole story about it really shaped me as a woman.

Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you over again.

Don't make me in the like fifth, seventh grade just like with my black eyeliner.

Like that song was my life.

If I had to like guess the one song lyric that you're going to fight for in your book, I would have never guessed it'd be that one.

Well it's the one that shaped me most as a woman and if you wanna know why you'll have to read my book coming out January 26th 2021.

I guess I have to read it again.

Yeah

but I do yeah so that was really really upsetting for me that like I could not belt.

That is upsetting.

I literally said I'm like but Mariah Carrie did.

She was like yeah, they're her songs.

But sorry, I was asking you, do you know what day it is?

It is Thursday.

Which means that today's episode is, of course, brought to you by Thursday Boots.

Okay, first up, country music took center stage at last night's 2020 CMA Awards.

Longtime CMA's MC Carrie Underwood passed the baton to Reba and Darius Rucker, who teamed up to co-host the live ceremony for Music City Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

The CMA awards honored and showcased the biggest names in country music, as well as emerging talent dominating the country music airwaves.

So I'm going to go through all of the categories and share the winners, then we'll talk about our favorite performances.

How does that sound?

It sounds great.

I just want to say, like, it was so good.

And I want everyone to know that they all did a good job.

Like, Reba and Darius were amazing.

The producers were amazing.

Like, the whole show was amazing.

Please keep doing it.

Like, I feel like we went from having no award shows to having virtual award shows to now having like small audiences.

Having no audience.

And now we have like the audience is the stars which is really all we need like yeah I didn't need one more thing than what I got and I just like want the country music association and everyone who was a part of us

a big round of applause to know that like we appreciated it so much and it was literally the highlight of my week and I wasn't expecting it I wasn't even gonna watch the whole thing I was just gonna watch until Real House Size of Orange County started 100% and then I couldn't take my eyes off of it it was just brilliant performances everyone gave it their all people in country music are so talented musically like they don't have any like backup dancers like it's just so real and it was so good.

No, like I didn't think we could become bigger country music fans, but like last night just solidified like everything that I love about country music.

And I will stand forever.

Me too.

And you know what it really made me realize?

It's like not only do I like love music and country music, it's like I think if I had to ever choose like between watching the Grammys or the CMAs, like I would want to watch the CMAs.

Totally.

And I think if I ever had the opportunity to go to like the biggest pop music festival or the biggest country music.

Like to be backstage at one of them sipping out of red cups, I would want to be at the CMAs.

100%.

Like, and that's what I realized last night.

Like, I've always been into country in addition to everything else, but I think in the last like two years, like my love of country has, and I'm only now realizing it has become like my main interest in music.

Yes.

I only listen to country music.

Yeah.

I agree.

Okay.

So Entertainer of the Year, which is the big prize, went to Eric Church.

Yeah, so.

Here's the thing.

I have a lot of respect and I and I understand Eric Church.

I'm not a big follower, but I get, I get it.

I did feel like it was Luke Hombs' year.

And of course, everyone's just going to say, Claudia, you're saying that because you're obsessed with him and his wife.

And while that may be true, I do think it was his year.

Well, he did win album of the year, Luke Homes, what you see is what you get and one male vocalist of the year.

So how do you win those against Eric Church?

But somehow he was the Entertainer of the Year.

But if your vocals and your album technically were better.

Well, I just want to say, Eric Church has won Entertainer of the Year before, right?

Many times.

And Luke Hombs has never won it.

And I think one day he will win it.

And if I were him, I wouldn't want to win it it for the first time in 2020 because like it doesn't mean as much.

There wasn't as much to entertain.

You know when it's like and when Eric Church won Luke Hombs was so happy for him and I also think it's like he didn't want to win this year.

Yeah.

You know, so he still went home with two awards.

So like let him have his big award like on a year where he's touring and he is the entertainer of the year not just like on this throwaway of a year.

That's fine and fair, but

okay.

Single of the year, The Bones, Marin Morris, and she also won Song of the Year for that song.

And I believe she also won Female Vocalist of the Year.

Yes.

Now, The Bones was, first of all, Marin Morris's most recent album is so stellar.

And it's for everyone.

Even if you don't like country music, my friends don't like country music and they love girl.

If I can just suggest some songs, a song for everything, and all my favorite people do, which is with one of the brothers from Brothers Osborne, whom I just think he's so hot.

Her album is so good.

And I kind of forget because it was a little bit like a long time ago, but in terms of this year, but The Bones like really took over like pop and country.

So she was sweeping all these awards and I'm like, oh, right.

Like The Bones was like such a big song.

Like my friends who don't know country knew it.

And even she performed it last night too.

And I was listening to it and like the lyrics are so beautiful.

And for me, it really resonates because I always sing, when the bunk is good, the counts don't matter.

And I feel like that's so true.

Like when you have a good bunk, the counts don't matter.

And also when the counts is good, the bunk don't matter.

Cause then you're just hanging with your counselor all day.

For sure.

And so that's why I really love that song.

No, I totally agree.

Vocal Group of of the Year went to Old Dominion.

So happy for them.

And it would have been a disgrace if they went to anyone else.

Only because like Old Dominion has released literally 10 amazing songs back to back in the last year.

And they had an amazing year and you just can't deny it.

But sadly, Rascal Flats was nominated in that category.

And Rascal Flats was also supposed to perform last night, but someone in their band tested positive for COVID.

Literally the most unlucky band in the history of country music was supposed to go, they broke up, not broke up, they retired, supposed to go on their farewell tour last summer, COVID hit.

Now, finally, they get to come back, perform at the CMAs, someone gets COVID.

So, they're just like, it's not their year.

Yeah, I know.

I didn't know that.

I know.

I didn't know they were supposed to perform.

I did it on their Instagram.

I didn't know that something was taken from me.

I know.

I'm so sorry to be the one to tell you.

Oh my God.

And like, while we're filming, like, I don't have time to like deal with this.

No, I know.

I have to just move on.

Very upsetting.

And so, like, of course, I wanted them to win because they really did release an amazing album, but Old Dominion was so like clearly the winner.

For sure.

I just want to say, justice for lady a i know um they put out an album this year that is so stunningly beautiful i feel like they don't really win a lot of awards anymore i feel like when they first came on the scene like they swept yeah and now they're just like in the background charles kelly did perform last night but i don't know why this last album didn't get a lot of play i do also feel like because of all the controversy with their name yeah like they're just like no one wants i know about that let's talk about charles kelly yeah the performance he gave with um

carly parcel i love that song i hope You're Happy Now, written by Lou Combs.

Because Lee Bryce tested positive for COVID.

I saw it yesterday.

I think he was supposed to perform at her.

With her, of course.

With her, and then last minute she had to find someone else in his register.

Oh, I thought it was weird that it was him.

I'm pretty sure because I saw yesterday morning that he wasn't going to be at the CMAs because of COVID, and then Charles Kelly sang, so I was like, okay, definitely make sense.

So then that makes sense that it was a last minute performance because Charles Kelly, like, he is always incredible, and he was just like not doing a good job on the stage.

And I'm like, are you okay?

And then now I realize it's probably because he got one day's notice and he never heard of this song before.

Yeah.

Okay.

Then vocal duo of the year was Dan and Shea, which

there are so many great country vocal duos like Florida George Line, Maddie and Tay, Brothers Osborne, Brooks and Dunn.

But I feel like Dan and Shea can win any year.

They are, they do great things for country music in general.

Like they brought Justin Bieber to the CMAs.

They're the publicists for country music.

Like they go out into the world and they do amazing collaborations with Tori Kelly, Justin Bieber, and they do a good job.

But it really comes back around to Scooter Braun.

Always.

Because he manages them, and like he manages Justin, and he makes those things happen.

And I thought that performance was beautiful, like the three-part harmony.

And honestly, Justin Bieber looked like so hot and handsome.

And I never really think he's cute, but his harmonies were just like speaking to my soul.

And I thought they all did a great job.

That was a really good performance.

Also, I don't know if our husbands have been hanging out, but this morning my husband was singing low.

They haven't been hanging out.

And I was just like, what?

I'm so low.

Lonely.

Okay, now let's talk about performances.

Oh, also.

Were those all the awards?

No, because, oh, here, sorry.

Musical event of the year went to I Hope You're Happy Now, Carly Parse and Lee Bryce.

Music video of the year went to Bluebird by Miranda Lambert.

I'm glad she finally won something because she was nominated for everything.

She didn't win.

And that song, Bluebird,

is just spectacular.

Miranda, that's beautiful.

I have to, once again, and I've said it a few times already, like, I do have to apologize for sleeping, not only sleeping so hard on Miranda Lambert, but like actually not liking her and thinking she was like messy.

No one liked coming for her.

She was a little messy in my defense.

Like, she did give me some material to work with, but I take it all back.

And she's such a queen.

And that song, Blue Bird, is so good.

And they kept on showing clips for the music video where she's like in a cage in blue feathers.

And I thought it was really beautiful.

So I'm glad that she won for that.

Me too.

And the new artist of the year, a very competitive category.

The nominees were Jimmy Allen, Ingrid Andres, Gabby Barrett, Carly Parse, and the winner, Morgan Wallen.

Honestly, any of them could have won, and I would have been so happy.

But like, as

Morgan Wallin's number one fan, it feels like I'm so happy for him.

It was so funny that they made a joke about him quarantining.

He finally performed more than my hometown and stopped performing whiskey glasses.

And it was just a beautiful sight to behold.

So I'm just, I'm always confused about the CMA new artist of the year category because you could be

nominated multiple times.

Carly Parks was nominated last year too.

Morgan Wallen has been nominated before.

And Lauren Atkins, Thomas Rhett's wife, presented and she said, my husband has been nominated in in this category twice.

So, yeah, I guess you can be nominated until you win.

Yeah, I guess.

But I agree.

I could have made an argument that any of them deserved to win.

And I am just like, since two days ago, like so in love with Jimmy Allen and he's so handsome.

And I didn't realize that the song he performed, that that was his song.

Like I've heard it on the radio.

He is a PJOM nation.

And the whole tribute to Charlie Pride was so cute.

And Charlie Pride being so nervous, like, I don't know why, like, watching him, like, made me want to cry.

Like, he was just like a true old man PJOM.

And it was just precious.

Precious.

I was also thinking about Jimmy Allen.

I feel like if we were living in a normal world right now, like, he would have been performing that song on The Bachelor this season.

Yes.

And then that song, like, you know what I mean?

I feel like it was just like a super bachelor-y song.

That's a really, really good call.

So, I feel like he was robbed of that opportunity.

I also feel like it could have been Jordan Davis slow dance in a parking lot.

Oh, yeah.

I feel like he might have already played that while they slow danced in a parking lot.

Um, so I have recently become obsessed with that song, and I think I already told this story.

I texted my friend Jordan.

Yes, you told me, but I don't think you told me.

Oh, so my friend Jordan is like always wanting to know like good country music.

So I'm sending him music all the time.

And I've been obsessed with Jordan Davis slow dance in a parking lot.

And my friend's name is Jordan Davis.

And I sent him this song.

I'm like, do you sing this song?

And he was like, oh my God, I've been listening to the song on Spotify so much.

I didn't realize, but that's not why I wanted to tell the story.

I wanted to tell the story because I'd become obsessed with him.

And somebody messaged me and they were like, oh my God, you love that Jordan Davis song.

I don't know if you know.

You guys interviewed him at the CMA Red Carpet.

I'm unfamiliar.

But you stubbed him.

So, of course, I had to go back and see the atrocity that we committed.

This was last year.

So, what had happened, what had happened was it was the beginning.

So, it was like kind of slow, and we were just like talking to anyone.

And he came over and he was eating candy, and like two minutes into his interview, Carly Parse came over.

So, you know, the red carpets are cutthroat.

And at the time, I didn't know who Jordan Davis was.

And Carly Pars was nominated for Northist of the Year, and it was just like a lot going on.

So, we literally just like turned our backs on him.

But we gave him two minutes.

Were we nice?

Like, what did we say?

We said,

what's your name?

He said, what's your name?

Okay.

But I just want an apology to George Allen.

You got to start somewhere.

100%.

And I just, now I'm obsessed with him.

But I agree.

Jimmy Allen is a great call for someone who could have performed on The Bachelor.

And his performance was amazing.

Luke Holmes performed his new song, Cold as You, which was sensational.

Sensational.

We had like Nico in the front row being a fangirl.

So supporting it.

It was like the closest we got to a concert.

Like, I I felt like I was watching a concert.

Morgan Wallen was excellent.

I just love him so much.

Yes.

I thought the opening was really interesting, like not what I would have expected.

And I didn't recognize Darks.

Long-haired Darks.

It wasn't until the middle of the show when he came back to present something and his name was there again that I saw it was Darks.

No, you know who he is?

He's Lox Bentley.

He also performed with the other, the Osborne brothers.

The brothers Osborne.

The brothers Osborne, who always, there's the one who doesn't look like the other one.

No, so there is like a

trend in country music with duos where it's like one of the duos does all the vocals and then the other guy does everything else.

Dan and Shea, Shay sings.

Dan literally does everything else.

He writes a song.

He writes music.

Florida, Georgia line, Tyler Hubbard sings mostly and Brian Kelly writes all the songs.

I can't believe his name is Brian Kelly.

Same with Maddie.

Maddie and Tay.

Brothers Osborne.

It's like a trend, but it really works very well.

But it's like you complement one another.

It's like you and I.

You do all the vocals.

I do do all the vocals and you do all the story picking.

What other performances?

Don't, in the world.

Full of hate, be like.

Beautiful.

Reba was just literally performing 400 times.

Like, she killed it.

There's someone that we need to call out.

We've spoken about her a little bit on the show before, but last night was really her debut, Ingrid Andres.

Yes.

Performing

More Hearts Than Mine, which is such.

A beautiful song.

An amazing song.

Like, it makes me so emotional, even though, like, I don't relate to any of it, you know?

Yeah, I did have a problem with the crying.

I'm sorry.

I just want to know why she was crying.

Me too.

I hope everything's okay.

I hope everything's okay, too, but maybe she was just like excited and overwhelmed and cracked tears of joy.

Yeah, I just, I don't know.

It didn't strike me as I didn't mind it.

I didn't like it.

It was a little, like, that song is really emotional.

Like, maybe she has her heart broken right now and she's crying.

And Darius Rucker is just like a wonderful host.

Him and Reba did a great job.

I did like them better than past hosts.

I think they're like funny and old, and that's like a good combination.

What did you think about Gabby Barrett's performance?

I thought her and Charlie Pooth were excellent.

Gabby Barrett is very talented like vocally.

Also, I realized when I got here, I'm wearing my pants inside out, but whatever.

Gabby Barrett is very talented and Charlie Pooth like really is a wonderful musician and he like added great harmonies.

I thought that was a great pairing.

I loved that.

And her husband was on guitar and she's just like a supportive wife.

Yeah, I love, I love that song.

I love her and I'm glad that you're coming around.

Yeah, I don't think that was I ever like not not around?

I feel like you've been hard on her.

Well, I just think like when we've interviewed her on the red carpet, like she never wants to talk to us.

So it's like, okay.

We're not for everyone.

She's so cherry-jacking.

You know?

Any other standout performances that you wanted to discuss before we move on?

Who did we miss?

Kelsey Ballerini performed Pole in the Bottle.

And I finally realized while I was watching her, well, also because she had a middle part, she was giving me look-alike vibes.

Of.

And I feel like you need to watch a performance again in order to see it.

But it was someone who was actually asking for us to share our lookalike with her, Tanya Radd.

Okay, I definitely see that.

Yeah, there were like certain angles last night, and I was like, oh my God, I was getting major Tanya Radi, especially with the middle part.

And so I was glad I was able to button that one up.

Interesting.

You know what I felt was interesting, maybe a shift in last night's CMA awards.

I feel like for so long, like every award was being like given to and nominated to like Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, and Luke Bryan.

And honestly, like the three of them were not there.

And I kind of liked that.

I feel like they're great, but

they're not the best country music has to offer.

And I feel like forever, it was like literally the Luke Jason Blake show.

Yeah, but it was Jason Aldean singing Devil Went Down to Georgia, right?

Yes, he was excellent.

He was excellent.

And that fiddler, ooh,

you know what?

We got to get him on the roof.

The fiddler was everything of the sort.

And when Reba said, give it up for brothers, I was went, well, and she didn't even mention the fiddler.

Maybe the fiddler is part of one of their bands.

Of course, but still, you stole the show.

Yeah, that was a great little fiddle we got.

It was an amazing fiddler moment.

Yeah, we love a fiddler.

We do.

Put him on the roof.

Particularly on the roof.

Okay.

Now, with that, I think that is our official CMA recap.

It was an amazing show.

Thank you to everyone who made it happen for us.

It was really wonderful.

It was Bruno's first time watching a country award show, and he was just really catching a vibe.

I mean, I literally caught the biggest vibe.

I was just not expecting to get so much serotonin from this award show.

Like, it was just making me happy.

No, I just thought I was like going to do my job and watch it and talk about it.

And instead, like, I got so much out of it.

100%.

Okay, next story switching gears.

Nikki Bella says her ex John Cena called her after the birth of their of her child not their child.

Something about like their entire relationship just like gives me a pit.

Really?

Yeah, I just don't think that it's

No, I just it makes me mad because if I ever really sit down and think about it, I'm like mad at what he did to her.

I know.

But Nikki Bella told us weekly this week that John and I will be tied forever.

All I've ever wanted was for him to be happy.

She said, so with the baby, he reached out to Bri and I both.

We haven't had an individual conversation in gosh, I don't know how long, but it was very short and sweet.

That's sweet.

Yeah, I mean, I don't think John Cena's a bad guy, but like, it just makes me mad for Brie.

No, Nikki, and for women.

Like, he just...

I'm just mad at him.

Like, and I'm not over the breakup, and I took it really hard.

Yeah, I took it really hard too.

I'm getting over it.

And like, the more that they find like real love and joy and happiness, I'm able to move on.

I think I know why I took it so hard.

Because if I really think about it, Nikki Bella and John Cena were perfect for each other.

Like compatibility-wise, looks-wise, like they were just really like a perfect pairing.

And the fact that he went out of his way to not make it work made me mad and wasted so much of her time.

Yeah.

That's what it is.

Yeah.

I guess, but she wouldn't be where she is now.

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

Everything happens for a reason.

Yada, yada, yada.

Yada, yada, yada.

But I'm just upset on her behalf.

And I think we should all be.

Yeah, I know.

I can't believe they still talk, though.

I feel like that's just like a function of the fact that they were in each other's lives for five years, but then like five years from now, like it sometimes, and this is how I used to feel about going to camp.

Sometimes you need to spend the exact amount of time like without something as you spent with it in order to like undo the time.

I feel that.

You know, so in like five years, so after two months at camp,

you need two months at least.

You need at least two months at home.

After two months at home, like you can no longer be camp sick.

Got it.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, I feel that.

It's like you've been here longer than you were at camp.

What are you doing?

Right.

I feel that.

Thank you.

Okay, next story.

Wow, this one was a stunner.

Pregnant Emma Roberts bears her baby bump on the cover of Cosmo, and it was just

beautiful, stunning, and smart.

Beautiful.

Emma Roberts is one hot mama, the pregnant star of Netflix's holiday, covers Cosmo's December 2020 issue with her baby bump on full display in a stunning pink set from Frankie's Bikinis that I'm sure is totally sold out by now.

Totally.

It's not the only belly bearing look that she is modeled for the magazine.

She also posed with a croquet mallet and a cream colored Prada crop top and hot pants and shredded her stuffed poolside in a black cut bra and Wolford underwear.

Oh, I didn't see those additional photos.

I mean, this is so fabulous.

Like, I just love that we're celebrating pregnant women on the covers of magazines, which I feel like hasn't really been done that much.

And this is just absolutely wonderful.

I'm just like, we were just talking about this with Emily Radikowski and her digital Vogue cover.

Oh, you're like, I would love to see a pregnant belly young vogue on the cover of Vogue.

No, I think this is so excellent.

I think the photo shoot was like fun and fresh and young.

And Emma Roberts is just like all of those things.

And I feel like I'm, I didn't really expect in 2020 for like this to be where she's at, but I feel like she's just living her best life.

Living her best life.

I'm really happy for her.

And I think this is a great move by Cosmo.

And recently, there's actually been some stuff in the news about Garrett Hedlund, who is my favorite actor and her boyfriend slash father of the baby.

And it was actually revealed, I think, in January, he had a DUI.

Yeah, so he's been like struggling with his sobriety.

And I think he's in a better place now.

And I think a baby definitely does that too.

And

I don't know, it's just very exciting to be in that little family.

Yeah, I

like such a talented family too.

Wait, speaking of Emma Roberts, Julia Roberts, I was just gonna say, so that makes Julia Roberts the baby's great aunt.

Great.

Oh, that sounds like an old

woman, yeah.

Wouldn't she be like a grand aunt?

Okay, I've always wondered that great is like double.

You know, aunt

and then great aunt doesn't make sense because it's mother, grandmother, great-grandmother.

Yeah, so I think she's like

the grand aunt.

The grandante.

I love that.

Last night before the CMAs came on and I realized my YouTube TV wasn't working, I went to Netflix just to like put on a movie for Bruno and I.

And I started to watch my best friend's wedding, which I realized is a movie I had never seen.

I saw it a really long time ago.

Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, and Dermot Mulroney, like a Hallmark King.

No, it's Hallmark King, Georgia Rule King.

Hello.

Oh my god, totally.

And

something else, King.

Was he in Murder on the Orient Express?

No.

Oh, well, anyways, it was so fantastic, and I was just starting to really get into it because I really love the two of them.

But I was really like, am I the only one who's rooting for Cameron Diaz and Dermot Mulroney?

Like, Julia Roberts, I know she's the protagonist, but like, she's really being mean.

I love Cameron Diaz.

So, anyways, I have to finish that movie.

But I was just treating myself.

Content upper?

It's feeling like one, but it's like.

Finish it and then let us know.

I will.

I will.

It was definitely like a movie that we would have watched for Toast Movie of the Day.

Yeah.

Wow.

Toast Movie of the Day is

so long ago.

No, those words trigger.

Yeah, no, they bring me back to like a really dark lockdown place.

Yeah, like, and don't even say the words.

What are the words?

What was the first one?

The first what?

Ricky Gervais.

Invention of lying.

Don't say it.

Don't say it.

Okay, next story.

Some legal news.

Selena's family and Netflix are being sued for over $1 million over a new series about the late singer's life.

By who?

So, by the man who produced the 1997 Selena movie.

There's a new Selena TV series coming to Netflix.

It's called Selena the Series.

Is it dramatized or like a documentary?

Dramatized.

Oh, interesting.

And I think we reported some of the casting news a while back, but the show is set to premiere in December.

Now, Moctezuma S.

Parza, who produced the 1997 Selena movie about the late singer that starred Jennifer Lopez, filed a $1 million lawsuit last week against her father and sister, Abraham and Suzette Quintanilia, as well as the streaming platform claiming that he owns the rights to her life story, but was shut out of the new show, according to TMZ and E-News.

Okay, now explain something to me because I don't really understand like life rights.

Okay, you own...

How do you, where do you purchase the rights to someone's life?

I don't know.

Like, I would think that this would be the family.

Right.

So it's like the dad and the sister are on board

with this new TV show.

And they cut and I guess they cut him out of it and he has some sort of like ownership over her life rights, which is how can you own someone's legacy

perpetuity?

I have no idea.

It just seems so unfair.

I mean, who knows?

He's just suing.

And honestly, it's like he probably thinks he's going to get something out of this, but really, he's just like

garnering so much press for this show.

Like, I had forgotten about it, and I didn't realize it was premiering in December, and now I'm really excited.

And honestly, hasn't selena's family been through enough like now we're suing her come on totally this is really low class yeah so that's the latest legal news i don't understand how someone who's not a family member could own her life rights and i just am hoping that justice does its thing no and i feel like you can definitely like purchase the life rights like for a movie but i don't think that gives you like ownership over this person's legacy like in perpetuity for the rest of the

till time is over like that makes no sense he's suing for damages from an alleged breach of contract, claiming he developed an idea for a television treatment of Selena's younger years back in the late 90s, but it was never fully realized.

Okay, so you had an idea 20 years ago, and like, more actually 30 years ago, and now we're just supposed to, like, remember that?

Yeah.

This guy sounds like a little bit like a narcissist, if you're asking me.

Yeah, no, it's like, oh, goodbye.

Hi, Theo.

Come to mama.

Come to mama.

We had a really nice run.

I got him like way longer than I thought I would.

And with my RLS, I keep crossing and uncrossing my legs and disturbing his peace.

By the way, we haven't heard an update in your RLS journey.

Yeah, my journey through RLS.

You know what?

It's been better.

And I did get the magnesium pills, but I really have been forgetting to take them.

Like, does anyone else just like

for vitamins?

No, and honestly, it's like a whole thing because if you take it in the morning before you eat anything, you can get like nauseous and throw up.

So then you have to eat, but then by that time, like you're on your way with your day.

Like, who is remembering to take vitamins?

Yeah, but I also think it was like the first

in the beginning, I was probably like low iron or whatever.

And I think I'm just like eating better.

I don't know.

I think it comes and goes.

It flares up.

By the the way, I do think that as well.

Flare.

Seasonal.

Super flarey.

Okay, our fifth and final story is someone who I know you don't like discussing on this show, but she's talking about a relationship and spilling a little tea.

So.

Okay, who is it?

Chloe Karnachian?

No.

No, you love Chloe.

You know, I do.

I thought it was going to be like more Tristan bullshit.

Julianne Huff alludes to feeling lost.

You don't like her lost.

You don't like her and Bruxleis.

There's definitely a thirstiness, a palpable desperation in the Bruxleis of it all.

And I know better than to update you with like details of their relationship, but she's alluding to feeling lost after her high-profile relationship with Ryan Seacrest.

Oh.

And now she's talking about those times.

I mean, those were crazy times because say what you want.

People have been saying things about Ryan Seacrest forever, but I don't think he's gay.

I mean, and that's not where she's going with this at all.

And she talks about why they broke up and it ends.

I'm sorry, I just took a liberty.

No, and at the time, they said they broke up during due to scheduling conflicts, which we always know isn't true.

But during during an Instagram live conversation, she talked about how living the high life with an ex, believed to be Ryan Seacrest, shaped what she wanted out of life and a career.

She said, it was 2013, and I had just gotten out of a relationship that was very high profile.

I was on private planes and yachts and living in a very, very well-off house, and my life was pretty different from where I grew up.

She shared that she didn't feel like she had earned the luxuries she was enjoying, adding, I had just gotten out of that relationship because I wanted to create that for myself

because I kind of felt like I didn't deserve it.

That's interesting.

I mean, sounds like a dream, you know, flying in planes and living in houses that you didn't pay for.

But I also feel like

I feel like Ryan Seacrest is kind of like a two-year relationship kind of guy.

Like he's a little Leo like that.

He doesn't go for like all the like models like he does.

He goes for the less obvious choice.

Yeah, but he goes for like hot young things.

Yeah.

Who's he dating now?

Like a hot young thing that he probably didn't like a no-name hot young thing.

Yeah.

Let me Google that.

It's kind of smart because nobody, people are always talking about Leo being this like, you know, bachelor and dating such young girls.

And the girls are always super high-profile and famous.

And it's pretty smart, Ryan Seagrass.

Nobody's talking about like him being, you know, a bachelor or dating young girls because we don't know who the hell they are.

Shana Taylor is who he is.

That sounds familiar.

But oh, he's his girlfriend.

She's his girlfriend of seven years now.

Oh.

Hmm.

Interescente.

That is a long time.

That is a long time.

I'll give it to him.

Julianne Huff, I just would say, you know, I want to go complaining about all the private jets you're applying for.

No, she was just saying that she didn't feel like she deserved it, but it inspired her to create it for herself, to get it on her own, to earn it on her own.

Okay, can we get Orange County out of the way?

No, can we start with Salt Lake City?

Like, I want to give it my, like, I have everything.

I literally have nothing to say about Orange County.

So me neither.

Like, I actually could not recap it just because it doesn't deserve our airtime.

If I'm like, honestly, if I'm being honest.

Yeah.

I'm fine with that.

Let's just start with Salt Lake City, see where it takes us.

So my notes, like, I was really just trying to remember everyone's name.

And here's where I landed at the end of the episode.

Live for Jen.

Yeah.

Live for Jen Shaw.

Live for her Shaw Shelley.

A little confused and sort of trepidatious about like her wealth and her clothing and her house when her husband is a football coach, like at a university.

I don't know how much that pays, but it just seemed like they might be living beyond their means.

My other favorite is Heather, because she's just everything of the sort.

She drinks, but she's Mormon, and she's like one foot in, one foot out.

I thought the whole like religion conversation was just fascinating.

I mean, I don't know.

anything about Mormonism, except I did see Book of Mormon, but I don't think that was really meant to educate.

And I just think like the whole show being centered around LDS, as they call it, is really interesting.

It's like a totally new format.

Totally.

And also all of the women have such interesting backgrounds.

They all, I mean, there are a lot of different religions in the mix.

It's not all Mormonism.

And then we also have like Whitney who was excommunicated from the Mormon church.

So like, does that mean she's no longer a Mormon or she just like can't go to the church?

I'm sure that.

I think that means she's no longer a Mormon.

But like she gets to choose what she wants to

believe.

So I'm sure all of that will play out on Watch What Happens Live last night.

Andy said that Heather throughout the season is like extremely open about her struggles with certain parts of the Mormon faith.

And I think that that is a very interesting

element to add to an already interesting group of women.

So many of the women, like they obviously married well, but they also have like really interesting and successful sounding businesses.

And I, every time they were explaining, like, you know, my husband does this, and so we, and then I also do this, I was like, wow, there's just so much going on here.

I agree.

There's so much fodder.

And I was really impressed by all of them.

I'm also so impressed that pretty much all of them have very long-term marriages.

Yes.

And I, we've gotten used to real housewives being women who are single, but all of the women are very in very committed relationships, except Heather, I think, is the only single one.

And I think that that also gives the show like a lot of meat.

Yeah.

Like to me, what I heard, had heard about the show was that there was a housewife on there who was married to her step-grandfather.

And that's really what I was looking forward to when you know getting involved and i what's her name mary mary mary um did not disappoint she's going to be like the the hot mess of the season i mean i don't know what was more shocking the fact that she married her step grandfather which is pretty shocking or the fact that like everyone was talking about her clothing and the two times i saw her show up like she literally looked insane with the yellow tights and the fringe boots and then that green dress and she's so like sutton strack like i love your dress valentino runway like so annoying and it's so ugly.

Like, I honestly, I could have found a dress at H ⁇ M that was cuter.

No, it's like she has very eclectic style, but it's all designer stuff.

And I

like it.

I really liked her.

I think the what?

Oh my God.

I did not like her.

Oh my God.

I liked her.

I think she's so interesting.

I love that she can't help but say what she thinks.

I think not only is it interesting that she married her step-grandfather, but she's also a pastor.

Like first lady, she doesn't like the word pastor.

But when she said first lady, I was like, oh, so your husband's a pastor.

But then she explained that, like, she does the pastoring, but she calls herself a first lady.

Yeah.

And that is so interesting no she's very interesting and also like but i did not like her the fact that the central fight in this episode was about the fact that she said that someone smelled like hospital is one of the funniest things i've ever heard it's so funny and i just have to say saying someone smells like hospital i i know exactly

this smell the smell was in my nose yes when she said it saying someone smells like that is literally So fucking rude.

Like, it's the meanest thing you could say.

Like, it's a horrible smell.

It's the smell of death like that's what it is it's the smell of rotting flesh yeah no i know and like air conditioning but like that just is is a new is a new insult it's so low it's so

she didn't even mean it to be mean she was just stating matter of factly like the fact that she couldn't even like not say that right i just think that she's like so interesting she is interesting she was just like bothering me like i she was like a little too like unapologetic in the first episode and it's like, Jen Shaw was saying, like, you hurt my feelings.

Just like, she's a pastor.

You would think she'd be like, oh, I'm so sorry.

Get over it.

But she starts cursing.

And then that other blonde woman came over.

Yeah, that other blonde woman.

So this is what I think happened.

The other blonde woman was Thursday.

This is what I think happened.

Are you ready for my theory of how television works?

They had that footage of Jen Shaw and Mary getting along from six months ago.

Yeah.

I think that six months ago, they filmed some sort of pilot for Salt Lake City.

Yes.

They got all these women together and people were getting along.

I think that blonde woman was maybe up to be in the cast and she was starting stuff by repeating that it's she said it smelled like hospital.

Totally, totally, totally.

Six months later,

they get the green light.

Mary's like, oh, Jen and I, like, we're getting along, but someone told her what I said.

And so that's why I think that blonde woman comes in.

I think when someone invited her into the conversation, she was like, okay, it's my time to be on the show.

No, you're so.

And Mary shut her down, was like, you're not a part of this.

By the way, I thought her husband slash step grandfather would be much older looking.

Yeah.

She looks older than him.

No, they look like.

An age-appropriate couple.

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to hearing more about what happened there.

Also, because the grandmother said that, like, if you want to inherit the business, you have to marry the step-grandfather.

But what's the business?

Because is that the church?

The church.

Okay.

It's like a very, I think, lucrative church.

I also fell down like a small rabbit hole on her on TikTok.

There's a girl on TikTok, The Talk of Shame.

She does like all Bravo content.

She's everything of the sort.

I just sent you one of her videos about Candace.

Oh, I didn't watch it yet.

Oh, you should watch it.

And she's like, there's, she was alluding to to like there being some like weird foul play between, you know,

Mary, her step-grandfather, and like the grandma, like kind of alluding to like the fact like maybe they killed her so they could get married and like take on the church.

It was very dark, but like it's, it is worth, it's just a crazy story.

And it, and just, it opens you up to like people like

conjecture.

Like these are deeply interesting people

who, you know,

live lives that we will all be like learning from.

from and and i think that that is so interesting i thought it's a subculture it is and i but also there are so many like we have meredith who is jewish and she's a jewish family we have jen was born muslim mormon and converted to muslim yes and i actually thought that her um reason for leaving mormonism like her husband was like i'm black and we were only allowed into the mormon church in like the 70s like i actually really respected that decision yeah and like her thought process like made a lot of sense yeah 100 um lisa who we haven't spoken about yet, but she is Mormon, born Jewish, converted to Mormonism.

And

got proselytized.

Yeah, I guess they like never felt akin to the Jewish faith and were just like looking for a different religion.

Is Jewish.

Yeah, that's what I said.

I immediately did not like her.

That's what I wrote down in my notes.

You know what?

I didn't like her on the show, but I liked her on Watch What Happens Live.

Oh, okay, I'll watch it.

Whitney, I just think it was, you know, really like strong coming out episode one, getting married, but okay.

But it was a vow renewal, and I really liked her.

Yeah, she seems like she's really smart in her interviews.

Like she's very clugged.

Like she knows what's going on everywhere, but in person, she's kind of quiet.

And I like that her and Heather are cousins because they'll have their backs, hopefully.

And I like them both.

Who was she cousins with?

Heather.

Oh, yeah, Heather was at the wedding.

Yeah.

And it's so interesting that Heather and Whitney have like deep roots.

to like the origins of Mormonism.

So

their fourth great grandfather was the bodyguard for Joseph Smith and Bringer Young.

No, I'm learning so much about Mormon, like BYU, bringing you the fact that you you have to decide like on code of conduct.

Yeah, no, it's just super interesting.

Like I feel actually like whenever there's like Mormon representation in media, it's like negative, like always.

Like Book of Mormon, it's like, it's not fair.

So I'm actually looking forward to like getting to know.

I also thought it was interesting, like the whole premise of being a good Mormon is like perfection, like on every level, like fit, perfect family, perfect fodge.

Like I thought that was super interesting, and that makes for like a great premise of a housewives show because like nobody's perfect.

No, I mean, of course.

And also it's like you can't drink, you can't swear, you can't, you know, if you're gonna be perfect, like you're not gonna be talking about someone like that.

But I didn't know that you could like bend the rules.

Like, I thought if you were Mormon, like you could not drink, but Heather drinks.

They're calling it Mormon 2.0, Lisa calls that, because she's a tequila company.

I think, so after watching Watch What Happens Live, I liked Lisa in the episode, but then on watching.

I never heard of any of her tequila companies, did you?

I think that, no, I think that she is like the thirstiest one.

Like, I think that she's watched every single Real House Lives is like studying the playbook and like wants to be like, yeah, I think this is like her absolute dream come true.

I am Team Jen Shaw.

I'm just worried about her finances.

And Team Heather.

I'm also a little worried about her finances because she's the only one whose house we didn't see.

We, yeah, we didn't see her.

We saw her business.

We saw Mary's house.

We saw everyone.

And here's what I wrote: I, Jen had an amazing chalet.

No, like, that is the dream house.

Also, at Meredith's birthday party at Jen Shaw's house when Jen had a cake come out, I totally thought her husband was going to be in there.

Did you?

Oh, no.

Oh, okay.

Heather, we didn't get a house.

Meredith's house was very meh.

But Heather said that her ex-husband is a billionaire and that her business is worth $20 million.

People say things.

I feel like we're going to have a Leigh Anne Lockin moment with Heather.

Like, I'm just, I'm really feeling that way.

Meredith, I don't know if you remember her house.

It's like very 70s triangle.

Yeah, yeah.

Very meh.

Lisa has a nice house.

She had nice views, though.

Yeah.

Well, they live in Utah.

They all have nice views.

Lisa had a great, very nice, like McMansion.

Like, it looked like a real model home.

You know, it had like all the columns.

Whitney, we didn't see her house, but is that where she was getting married?

Was that her house?

I don't know.

It looked like it was close to the houses next to her, but I'm not judging.

And Mary, did we see her house?

Yes, it looked actually like a house in Potomac.

Like, it was like brick.

It wasn't super Utah-y.

Okay.

But it was, it was big.

I think you would be okay with it, but it did look like

it did look like it was next to the neighbors.

Oh, fuck.

But I did see Porsches.

I did see Range Rovers.

I saw lots of wealth.

I saw lots of nice clothes.

I sang lots of Louis Vuitton on Genshin.

She wore a scarf.

Jensha, everything.

She wore a scarf that just like changed my life.

Jensha Shaw and

Mary both dress very, very well.

Another indicator that Heather might be in a Lee Unlocking situation is that purse that she showed up to Jen Shaw's house in was just a disgrace.

Also, on Watch What Happens Live, Andy asked if, like, he was playing a game with them, and it was like, is wearing a fake bag, like fake designer stuff, worse than having no designer stuff at all?

And everyone agreed with that except for Heather.

Okay, so I'm telling you,

I think it's really suspect that we saw everyone's house except for her.

And I think we're going to have a Leon Locken moment.

Okay.

But I really liked Heather.

And also, I think that she's the one who's doing the voiceovers in all the previews.

Like, in the show.

Oh, that means she's important.

I think that she is maybe the backbone of the season.

I liked her and Jen Shaw immediately.

And also, I was like...

kind of liking Lisa because I didn't see a reason not to.

Can you tell Lisa and Meredith apart?

I can, but it takes a minute.

I can't.

And everyone's name, I like need to pause and then I'll.

Because we have a Meredith and a Mary.

Yeah.

It's so hard to learn these women's names.

Yes, but we're we're doing it.

And I didn't like that Lisa was like being weird about Heather.

It's one thing to not remember someone from college, fine, but then like to not remember them, but then like say that she like flushed her titties.

Like what?

No, and like in Mormonism.

And also like that's like she either did that or she didn't.

Like there's no in-between.

Right.

Also.

It's just a little midriff.

No, it was, it was rude.

Like she's definitely nervous, but I thought it was interesting.

I think they said this about her or Meredith.

I can't tell them apart.

They're like, if you want to go to a party at Sundance, like Lisa.

That's, you have to know Lisa.

I forgot that Sundance is in Utah.

Yeah.

It was just very, very interesting.

I never would have chosen Utah for the next like city, but I think it's an excellent choice.

An excellent choice.

And the way that it's even being filmed and the new

soundtrack or the score, the score.

It's so good.

It's so good.

It's like in Beverly Hills, you have like, do, do, do, do, like, and I was just loving the whole vibe that they curated over there.

I think it's, it's going to be excellent.

The taglines were very meh, but it's season one.

I will give a.

And I just, I think that they found a great group of women with already established relationships, deeply interesting people on so many different levels.

And I really am.

I'm all in.

Me too.

No, I think it's very good.

I'm very much looking forward to the rest of the season.

Speaking of things I'm not looking forward to, Real Housewives of Orange County, like I honestly don't even want to recap it.

Like I don't even know what I would say.

Honestly, the only part worth recapping is Bronwyn helping her son get ready for drag because that was so inspiring and she's such a good mom and her husband too.

Like they didn't make it weird at all and like they made him feel so comfortable, and like to put that on TV was so brave, and to be that open with him, I just thought it was so amazing.

And that was literally the only part of the episode that was even remotely interesting.

Like, worth mentioning.

I don't even know what else.

They're setting a great example.

You know, what I did another thing was Gina giving a victim statement.

I didn't even realize that, like, he could potentially go to jail.

Yeah.

There's just like so much.

I feel like, well, we'll see what she decides to do, but there's just so much going on like in her personal life like it's just so layered she also like still can't drive yeah no I forgot and also we said last week that you know if I were Gina I'd be annoyed the bronze moon is making me go to AA like I would have skipped that part but Gina actually has to go and Gina had right Gina had offered I didn't know that yeah and it's like court ordered that she go so I think that is actually a perfect activity for them to do together the only um super interesting part was Elizabeth versus Shannon no and she oh yes that was interesting and I'm glad like I think that Shannon has been at like the top of the group doesn't have to impress everyone for like years now.

And good, someone is going to, you know, give her a taste of her own medicine.

I agree.

That was really funny when Gina was like, it's literally like OC housewife versus OC housewife.

Like, who's the richest bitch?

Yeah, but they were being like very, you know,

very Carol and Luann, like one-uppie.

Yes.

But when Elizabeth was saying how she loves her nieces and they like fulfill her maternal instinct, and I was like, she's just an aunt sneak chest all the way.

Like, we love, we love a loving aunt.

But she said that she set up $1 million trust trust funds for them, but she hasn't told them yet because she doesn't want them to murder her.

But that was on TV.

No, I know, but I thought that was hysterical.

No, I actually really like her, except I did come to the conclusion last night, and you know, I'm very focused on the material things.

I do think her beach house is her only house.

No.

Because they keep saying Elizabeth's beach house, but does she go anywhere else?

Give her a chance.

I think it's her house.

It's still nice.

I'm just saying.

She's coming.

I think that she has another home.

I feel like she does.

I feel like she said that.

I don't.

Okay, we'll see.

I mean, but even if it's her only house, like, it's the nicest beach house that we have right now.

But it's like actually beachfront.

Wait, no, no, but it's also the.

No, because I think Emily's house is nicer.

No.

Emily lives in the nicest house out of Animon.

Yes, but like it's not on the next to the neighbors and it's not on the beach and it's like in a suburb.

It's like what you described.

It's a big.

It's big, but it's a big mansion.

It's how you describe just someone from Utah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like one of the kids went that pulled up and they're like, where are we?

Oh, yeah, we're in Luna.

Other than that, like, I genuinely have nothing to say.

Like, nothing happened.

I can't believe we're not even at the vow renewal yet.

No, I know.

I'm sure they're like building up to it.

It was fine.

The season's fine, but that was just like a filler episode.

Yeah.

But it was fine because we had like a really busy night of TV, so I couldn't have like taken on too much more.

No, I really couldn't.

Like, I'm truly overwhelmed.

But that's it.

Anything else you want to say, add, jump in, recap?

No, tomorrow's Friday.
