Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the Morning Toast.

Happy Monday.

Hope everyone had a fabulous, fantabulous, wonderful weekend.

We did, of course, because we celebrated my birthday and I actually re-watched our show from Friday and I was like such a Debbie Downer.

I was trying.

But the birthday blues are very real.

I think the birthday blues exist even when your birthday is outside of quarantine and like a national pandemic.

I agree.

Did you wind up having a good birthday?

Because I feel as though that you did.

So I had like such a fabulous evening.

Like we just had low-key dinner at home, but it was so nice and we got to see baby Mick, which like honestly, it's all that matters.

Like she was so fabulous and she really made my birthday.

And because it was my birthday, like I got to hold her for the longest when usually like we have to share.

So it was really fabulous.

And I ended up having, yes, a fabulous birthday.

And I was really,

glad.

You know, it's like, that's what we've been saying.

It's like the pandemic and the quarantine has really taught us like what's important.

And even though, yes, I would have loved to have like taken a trip to Vegas and like spent lots of money.

At the end of the day, like I feel like I had a great birthday because of what's important.

That's family.

And that's unfortunately not material items.

But I made a huge mistake on my last week.

You did.

And I think that you should clarify.

I made such a big mistake.

Jackie and I were talking,

I don't even remember what we were talking about, but we were just saying how like I'm really a person who values like experiences over material items.

Like if I have $500 and I could book a plane ticket or like buy a purse, I'll probably book a plane ticket.

Like I'm much more,

I put value on like memories and stuff.

And I realized that saying that the week of my birthday when like the ones I love are shopping for a present for me was really not probably the best thing to say or the best timing because Ben had bought me a gift and thought about returning it to like book me a safari, you know, in a year.

And also your friend Margo was like, I literally was going to get you a piece of jewelry, but like I heard you say it on the toast.

And like, I was thinking maybe I should like return it.

I'm like, I don't know why the fuck I said that.

Like, it's true, but like, obviously I still like gifts.

No, it's also like right now, experiential things like aren't really an option.

Right.

And I definitely don't want a gift that's like, in a year, we'll go here.

Like, I want to know exactly what I'm doing and when.

So unfortunately, like, material items are all we have in the queue.

It's so true.

It's all we have.

So

speaking of clarifications and purses,

we were just discussing something that I think I would like to share with the class because there are some people.

But it's such an old thing.

Like, I feel like there are people who watch our show now who might not have even heard you say this.

You know what?

I want to bring it up because there have been a few times since I said it that it's like, I should have, that I felt like I should have expanded on it.

And I don't even know if I can really articulate what I'm trying to say because it's more of a vibe.

But it haunts you.

And I just hope that maybe you guys will get some clarifications.

Let me just get right to it.

A few weeks ago, I said on the show.

It was really like months ago.

No, it was Zoom.

It was during the Zoom era.

We were watching Real Houses of New York.

It's when they went to that big fancy house and they're wearing Joe Farrell.

Joe Farrell, they're wearing like their nice dresses, maxi dresses, etc.

And a lot of the women were wearing crossbody bags.

And I said, I made a really,

I took a stance.

I really took a stance.

And I said, there's a time and a place.

I don't know if this is what I said, but this is what I feel.

There's a time and a place for crossbody bags.

And at Joe Farrell's house in a maxi dress,

at a certain age, that's not the time.

Um, and then people like were like posting all these photos of me in crossbody bags and like, that's what I'm saying.

There's a time and a place, like sometimes you need to be hands-free, you need a crossbody.

It's more of an athletic look, you need a crossbody.

When you're college hitting up the bars, you need a crossbody.

Like there are certain types of cross bodies.

When you're wearing jeans and a leather jacket, you wear a crossbody.

Like there's a time and a place for a crossbody and it's not in the Hamptons with the maxi dress at Joe Farrell's house.

And that's all I was saying.

Okay, well, you said what you said.

I said what I said.

And now you must live with it.

Yeah.

No, I just wanted to clear it up.

If you're thinking about buying a crossbody, you definitely should.

I have a few that I love.

It's a great hands-free option.

And there are some really nice ones out there.

But just, it's a time and a place thing, she says.

It's a time and a place thing.

Do you disagree?

No, not at all.

You're the one who was out here calling it a bomb itzfa bag.

Yes.

It is a bomb it's for bag.

It's a fabulous call.

Like you're a little kid, you got to keep your things on you.

Yeah.

You know, you need like your hairspray.

It's a very practical option.

Very, very practical.

Sometimes, like when you're at an event, a clutch.

Such as one of the biggest developers' houses in the Hamptons.

Yes.

I just like the look of a maxi dress and the crossbody just wasn't doing it for me.

By the way, that guy, Joe Farrell, has been in the news recently because he had like a party in the Hamptons where like a bunch of people got coronavirus.

Oh, no.

And Ramona was there, but she claims her and Avery of antibodies.

Oh.

According to Ramona, must be nice.

I'm actually going to get tested again for antibodies after this because I'm just like, one, I'm bored and I have nothing to do.

And two, like, I'm just hoping I'm one of those people.

Like, that's not how life works out for me.

I'm not just one of those people who like had it but didn't know and they had no symptoms.

Like, no, if I were to get it, like, I would get it hard.

That's just like my life.

And I just keep praying that I'll go to the doctor and they'll be like, you had it for a day.

You're cured.

Yeah.

But probably not.

But it's worth a shot.

It's worth a shot.

Good to keep tabs.

Always good to keep tabs.

So yeah, I guess now we can get into the news.

I had a really great relaxing weekend.

I read a lot and I finished Real House Eyes of Potomac.

I am

for the season five premiere.

Is it?

When does it premiere?

August 3rd.

Oh, wow.

That's like soon-ish.

Soonish.

Yeah, soon.

Yeah, pretty weeks.

Well, that's fabulous.

I mean, I had a fabulous weekend as as well because I watched The Crown.

And

Ben was like, during the week, like, I can watch by myself, but Ben like wants to hang out on the weekends and he doesn't watch The Crown.

I made him watch one episode last night and he was literally like so bored.

It's so not his thing.

It does like kind of slow down in season two.

It's like a little boring.

And I just.

You get so invested.

Like Prince Philip, like sometimes I just love him and I really want him and the queen to like have this fabulous marriage.

And sometimes I'm like, you are such a pussy.

Like you cannot,

you don't support women.

Like you're so insecure.

And same with princess margaret sometimes i'm like you know what she just wants love and then sometimes i'm like this girl is so out of control and has absolutely no grip on reality um and i agree with you you were you were saying how it's like it's just so crazy that like all these things actually happened and um

like no one knows about it but like if you watch a crown obviously you know about it like i just finished the episode where like that guy wrote like a scathing critique of her and she invited him to the yeah palace and like took his advice which is like so something i would do um and i actually loved that and um like that's just a crazy thing that happened happened, you know?

Yeah.

And how do they know all this stuff?

I think from account, like, royal biographers,

like private secretaries, like people writing tell-alls.

And I think also eventually, like, when it comes to things that happened so far in the past, I think the crown is kind of open about it.

So.

I'm glad that you're watching it and that you're enjoying it.

It's very educational.

I feel very small.

And I keep walking around the house talking like this.

And it's impossible to stop.

Is Theo liking it?

No.

No.

He's jealous of the other queen in the house.

You know, he's like the number one queen.

He is.

Oh my God.

I also, by the way, I got Jackie.

This is not an ad, but I talk about it so much.

I got Jackie and Zach hooked on the beverage that I take before bed, some sleep.

You did.

I took one last night.

I had literally the most amazing dreams and I slept so good.

I'm obsessed with this product.

It's so genius because I've been having so much trouble sleeping in quarantine.

And

it's really helped.

You've made my husband addicted.

No, I know.

He literally called me at 11 p.m.

He's like itching.

He's like, he said, can I get that song?

Can I get some cans?

Can I come over?

I'm like, yeah, sure, come.

And he literally went to my house and got some sleep cans.

Yeah, no, he's truly addicted, but it's good stuff.

It's good stuff.

So I've been sleeping actually really well.

I slept a lot this weekend, which was fabulous.

Love to hear it.

And I have been really overusing the word fabulous.

Like,

I just can't stop.

I mean, it's pertinent to the situation, so what else are you expected to say?

Exactly.

I'm reluctant to jump into the fast five because some of the stories are so fucking sad.

I agree.

But we are going to recap our movie of the week, which was The Color of Friendship, and we're going to sign our new movie.

So that'll be at the TV recap segment, which I'm really excited to talk about.

Really excited to talk about The Color of Friendship.

So, yeah, I guess.

I guess

the sooner we jump in, the sooner we can jump out.

Yeah.

We have obviously some very sad news, but we also have some exciting news.

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

Fabulous.

Fabulous.

Okay, first story, very sad news to wake up to this morning.

Kelly Preston dies of breast cancer at 57.

Quote, she was a bright, beautiful, and loving soul.

Quote, on the morning of July 12, 2020, Kelly Preston, adored wife and mother, passed away following a two-year battle with breast cancer, a family representative tells People Exclusively.

Choosing to keep her fight private, she had been undergoing medical treatment for some time, supported by her closest family and friends, the family rep says.

She was a bright, beautiful, and loving soul who cared deeply about others and who brought life to everything she touched.

Her family asks for your understanding of their need for privacy during this time.

Preston is survived by her husband, John Travolta, and their children, daughter Ella, 20, and nine-year-old son, Benjamin.

Their son, Jet, died at age 16 in January 2009.

But that story was so crazy.

And like, you just think like this family can't possibly go through any more like Sirus.

And here we are.

I mean, I can't, I had no idea she was sick.

And I just, I like love her.

She's

in like every movie that I love.

Yeah.

And to be honest, like I rolled over this morning at like 7 and I wasn't supposed to wake up till like 8.30.

And I saw the notification on my phone and it jolted me and I was up for the morning.

It was just, it's such, it's so sad.

It's such a sad story.

And shocking.

Yeah, shocking.

I guess they had been keeping all of this private for two years.

I just,

it's so sad.

It's so sad.

Cancer's a little bitch.

But she was in the last song.

Oh, yeah, she was Miley's mom.

Yeah.

She's in everything.

What a girl wants is the iconic role that I can recall.

Oh, what I recall is that fabulous Gwyneth Poucher movie where they're flight attendants up in the air.

But she plays the nice friend, right?

Well, yeah, she plays the one who like doesn't,

she like gives up on the flight attendant stuff in like the beginning of the movie.

Yeah, she's not the cheater.

No, that's Christina Applegate.

Yeah.

An iconic film.

Wow.

No, she just has like a really...

accomplished, fabulous career, and she has two beautiful children who it's just so sad.

And I'm like really just this is devastating and this is just something like just like death sometimes just like blindsides you you know yeah definitely I haven't thought about Kelly Preston in so long that she's been going through this difficult time yeah terrible terrible well we're thinking of her family yeah praying for them um also an update in the Naya Rivera story.

Naya Rivera's text to a relative may provide crucial clue about her final moments.

The missing glee actress Naya Rivera sent a photo to a relative shortly before vanishing on a southern California lake that may provide an important clue about her final moments, according to a report.

Rivera took a photo of her four-year-old son, Josie, near a cove on Lake Pirou about 90 minutes to two hours before he was found alone on a rented boat, Us Weekly reported.

Oh, damn.

Quote, we found where that cove was, Robert Inglis of the Ventura County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue Team told the Outlet.

Search crews used the background of the photo and the place where the boat was located to help zero in on where the actress might have gone missing, Inglis said.

Quote, we did send our dive members to those two locations and search those extensively, he told the outlet.

He added that in many cases, there are witnesses who see someone jumping off a boat, so we know which area to search and we can find the body more quickly.

But authorities said there are no witnesses in Rivera's case.

There's so many things about this story that are freaking me out.

The first is like, it's a lake.

I mean, I guess it's big, but I feel like it shouldn't be that hard to find her if she's in there.

You know what I mean?

Well, from what we said, what we reported on last week, there's a lot of matter in the lake.

I think like probably, I don't know, nature stuff, where it's hard even for the divers.

They can't just like

swim through.

They have to be really careful.

And I think it slows down the process.

And then the other thing that's so devastating about this whole story, aside from the fact that like it's just like the craziest thing ever, is I feel like...

The media is so out of control.

Like I have seen the most invasive paparazzi pictures of her husband and her mom.

Like literally.

it's so fucking rude and disrespectful.

And it really like blows my mind.

Like just when you think like the media can't get any lower and like less caring of humanity, like I just see these pictures of her mom on a dock sobbing.

Like leave this fucking woman alone.

She's not famous.

She's going through such a hard time.

I saw her ex-husband is being paparazzied in like private moments.

It's so fucking rude.

And the kid too, it's like, stop.

Where do we draw the line?

This is so sick.

It reminds me of when Bethany was burying Dennis and literally a few paparazzi followed her her to the burial, which was a private burial and they have these pictures of her sobbing.

And it's just, it's awful.

And it makes it like an already tough situation, like even more tough.

And it's such an invasion of privacy.

And it's so, so disrespectful.

It's so disrespectful.

I really would have hoped that as a society we were like powerful.

That's that.

I haven't seen those photos.

That's so disappointing to hear.

And not acceptable.

We're not evolved.

We're not evolved.

But and like people like just fans of Glee and just fans of Naya are like trying to organize like search parties themselves on foot, which is so dangerous because it's obviously like a

tumultuous lake and like you don't want to make it more difficult for first responders.

So if you are thinking about going, I would suggest not.

Oh, I didn't realize that that was being discouraged.

Well, and now like

like the local sheriff's departments are encouraging people to please stay home like because it makes it worse.

Okay.

Wow.

Yeah.

Damn.

Okay.

Well, we'll keep you posted on the story.

Still praying.

Still praying for a miracle.

Praying for a miracle.

Okay.

Into some exciting news.

The new Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue 2020 is here,

and we have our cover girls.

Are you ready for it?

I'm ready.

Kate Bach, Jasmine Sanders, a.k.a.

Golden Barbie, who we stan and love.

Stan.

And

Olivia Culpo.

You guys, she did it.

She did it.

She did it.

She did it.

I mean, this is so, this is like a very Instagram-friendly

cover, and I feel like that was the vibe.

These are like, this is the Sports Illustrated digital like Instagram edition, and it's so fabulous.

And I think it's, I'm like so happy for Olivia Culpo and these other girls.

I just think, I mean, they look sickening.

So they each have their own individual covers.

And then there's a cover of the three of them, which is kind of like the one that's going around.

But it's just, it's so exciting.

I mean, devastating and shocked that it wasn't me, but again.

There's always next year.

There's always next year.

You said it, sick.

You know?

If you haven't seen the cover yet, Google it, check it out, because it's really like these are the snatchers.

I also weirdly love the bathing suits that they're wearing.

I feel like Sports Illustrated isn't usually about the bathing suits themselves, but I just love every cut of each of them.

I love how they work together, and I love, I really like the cover.

You know, Sports Illustrated.

I haven't heard other people's opinions yet, so I don't know if it's like a good cover.

I didn't even hear about it.

I know.

I just, when I was looking for stories, I saw it, and they were like, Olivia Kolbo shares the cover.

And then I went to her Instagram.

And there's nothing there.

I have push notifications that I'm getting.

But there was nothing there.

So I can't believe I didn't see it, but I'm glad that we're seeing it because it's always exciting.

The cover is always exciting.

No, and there's so much Sports Illustrated news happening this weekend because they announced one of their first transgender models, Valentina Sampeo, which I don't know if she's related to the other two Sampeos, but there's so many Sampeos.

I'm not sure if you're not in the industry.

Yeah.

And I don't think any of them are related, which is so funny.

And I just, I love Sports Illustrated.

I honestly only have good things to say about them as a brand.

And, you know, it's not the same, but I always, I can't help but compare them to Victoria's Secret, which is literally doing like the least at all times.

And it's just like the least empowering place for women.

And I feel like Sports Illustrated does everything right.

And this is a fabulous cover, fabulous things coming out of Sports Illustrated.

And we have absolutely no choice but to stand, respect, and support.

Yes.

So a few of the details.

Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue just revealed their 2020 cover starring Olivia Culpo, Jasmine Sanders, and Kate Bach, former Miss Universe Culpo, who's been shacked up with her boyfriend, Carolina Panthers, running back Christian McCaffrey in Colorado, but now they moved back to L.A.

And at one point his mom was there, but now she went back home because she posted yesterday that she missed her quarantine crew.

Also, Christian and Olivia got a dog, so like

they're in this for the long haul.

She said she popped champagne and got a little emotional when she heard the news that she landed the cover.

Quote, this is still so exciting for me, the 28-year-old influencer who's been in the mag three years in a row.

tells the post, I created a vision board years ago to get into the magazine.

Scoring a spot on the cover, which was shot shot in Bali by photographer Yutsai back in November, is likely also a dream come true for Sanders.

Also, if you saw Model Squad, you knew that like Olivia's first time shooting with Yutsai was just not

it was quite traumatic, so she's really come so far.

I mean, you know, I really hope that they do one of those reveal videos where we get to see like Olivia, Jasmine, everyone's reaction to them getting on the cover, because honestly, like that video of Camille Kostic finding out that she was on the cover is like one of my favorite things.

I could watch it like a million times and it's so cute.

And it's like so many of these girls' like biggest dreams coming true.

And I love those like reveal videos.

So even though we're in quarantine, I really hope we get reveal videos.

I hope so too.

Also interesting factoid, Jasmine Sanders, who goes by Golden Barbie,

she said that she didn't make the cut for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2018.

Big mistake.

But she was 2019 SI swimsuit rookie of the year and now she graces the front page.

So it goes back to what you said, like one of these things is it and the other ain't.

And I'm happy to see it.

One of these things is

whatever you just said was perfect.

I thought it was actually like not eloquent at all.

One of these things is it and the other isn't.

So true.

I mean, that like put it on my tombstone, bury me.

Yeah.

So this is just like, this is always exciting.

No, that's, that's really cute.

I really like all these girls and I'm really happy for them.

Yeah, and I, I, I feel as though like being on the cover of Sports Illustrated is a big deal and, you know, will open a lot of doors.

So I'm excited to see where these three go, like how they can take their stars to even new heights, you know?

What is your favorite Sports Illustrated cover like in recent memory?

I love the Kate Upton cover because I just love those titties.

I love those titties.

Like not to objectify her.

I know she's so much more than that.

She is a model.

She's a mom.

She's an entrepreneur.

But like she like.

Well, it's also because like she has very large natural breasts like which we both do.

I see myself in her breasts.

Yeah.

I mean I love this cover.

I don't see myself in this cover.

in 2020, but like I saw a bit of myself in that cover.

And she did it not once but twice.

Yeah.

But that one where like her boobs are like literally falling out of the bathing suit, like that's the best one.

Yeah.

Those are.

I also like that Hannah Davis Jeter one where like her vagina's out.

Yeah.

Also fabulous.

Yeah.

I mean it's always a good cover.

Always.

This is no exception.

Oh also the Chrissy Tegan, Nina Ogdahl one is also fabulous.

Yeah.

There's a third person in there, but I can't remember.

Yeah.

But it's like everyone in their like tushies.

True.

Perhaps like this is like the 2020 version of that.

Right.

And now these girls will just be casual.

Skyrocketing.

Even though to me like these are the biggest stars in the world.

Olivia Colbo and Jasmine Sanders.

But I'm really happy for her.

I'm happy for all of them.

Before we dive into the fifth and final, is that what we're up to?

Okay, fourth story: a little happy couple news.

Brooklyn Beckham is engaged to girlfriend, now fiancé, Nicola Pelt.

This is crazy.

The happy couple confirmed their exciting news in a pair of matching social media posts on Saturday, hours after reports about their engagement first began circulating online.

Quote: Two weeks ago, I asked my soulmate to marry me and she said yes, Brooklyn wrote alongside a romantic engagement snap of the pair, which also showed off the Transformers actress's stunning diamond sparkler.

He said,

I'm the luckiest man in the world.

I promise to be the best husband and the best daddy one day.

I love you, baby.

XX.

How old are they?

I know.

That's exactly what I was looking for.

Oh, he's 21.

Okay.

And she is

25.

Okay.

I mean, I guess that's not that crazy.

Like, Ben and I were 21 and 25.

I thought they were like 18 years old.

But to me, like, they are.

Yeah, but they're not.

And you know what?

I saw this and then I really went down a rabbit hole of stalking them because they were a couple couple I honestly did wasn't aware that they were even dating Yeah, um to be quite honest the only real thought I have about her is like when Bella Thorne said that like she was a mean girl and did that whole interview about her and like yes, I can't get that out of my head.

Yes, but then I started to go down this rabbit hole and like they live a very like fabulous happy life together.

Well, that's the thing.

It's like they're so fabulous and I think the reason why Everyone ourselves included like regards them as such children.

It's because they're both just like famous kids, famous people's kids.

Yeah.

So obviously just like professional kids.

Brooklyn is Victoria and David Beckham's kid, and Nicole Appeltz's dad is like some rich man who...

Oh my god, there is a fire alarm.

Do you think there's a fire in the building?

Oh my gosh.

This is bringing me back to the morning breath days.

Remember when this used to happen all the time?

No, and this also used to happen at the beginning of the toast when we were burned toast.

Yeah.

I mean, I think we're fine.

Nobody seems to be alarmed in the hallway.

We'll let you know if we start to smell something or smell something.

But I think we're fine.

Nobody, like, everyone else would be running out of their...

Right.

Right?

Right.

I don't know.

This is like a new building for us.

I don't know if like these are things that happen all the time.

Yeah.

This is something something to be taken seriously.

I feel like it's fine.

Okay.

So they're both like professional kids.

Like they're just like

stars of hot.

Like of course, yes, I guess you could say they're accomplished in their own way.

But at the end of the day, they're just like famous people's kids.

And that's why I think of them as like just like permanent 15-year-olds.

Yes, but

they are older.

And the stalking that I did was really enjoyable.

I think I even gave her a follow because

it's premium content, great flow.

She has like, they're just like very, the words not really tumbler-y anymore, but they are very like, they have a like aesthetic about them.

Boho vibe.

You know, I just feel like,

oh my God, they're there's an announcement.

Like, don't you know that Brooklyn and Nicola just got engaged?

What are they saying?

Oh, God.

What are they saying?

I feel like he's saying it's a test.

Yeah, that doesn't sound like an emergency.

He doesn't have real urgency in his voice.

He's quite relaxed.

Yeah, no, I feel like it's fine.

He honestly sounds kind of cute.

I wonder if he's single for snitch.

Oh, my God.

Okay, well, this engagement suite.

I can't wait.

The dress that she was wearing, by the way, the picture that they posted is just like so stunning.

I believe the dress is Victoria Beckham, which gives me hope that her wedding dress will be by Victoria Beck.

Oh, my God, that's so crazy.

Which just like, I love.

Yeah, that's just like a fabulous family to marry into.

The whole thing is beyond fabulous.

It oozes fabulosity.

It's honestly like too fabulous for us.

Yeah, agreed.

Agreed.

Fifth and final story, a little sad couple news.

A couple I'd forgotten about, but I did have a ship and them for the port, and now I have to break it down.

Bill Hayter and Rachel Wilson have reportedly split.

I wasn't like dying for them, I'm not going to lie.

I just, like, I liked it.

I didn't think about it again.

I,

I didn't, I don't think I felt like so confident that, like, they were going to go the distance, but I was hopeful.

Like, to me, Bill Hayter's just not like

it.

Then you obviously haven't seen Training Rack enough.

No, no.

I haven't.

That movie did wonders for him, but it didn't take him all the way for me.

I just like, she's so cute and cool and everything of the sort.

So I just liked, you know, it's this mismatched pair.

It's just cute.

He's obviously funny.

He's attractive.

He's attractive.

I really, I would not say that.

I don't know.

His insights are attractive.

Yes, of course.

Though they just made their red carpet debut a couple as a couple just seven months ago.

They

are now Splitsville.

They're telling people magazine.

Multiple resources told people that the split was amicable, though reps are remaining mum on the issue.

Oh, well, I read in another.

I read in I'm tongue-tied.

I'm so devastated over this.

I read in a different article that she was devastated by the name.

Really?

Yeah, I did, actually.

Is he a heartbreaker?

I don't, I kind of feel like he could be

a breaker.

I kind of feel like he could be.

Don't you feel that?

No.

I feel that.

I don't see him in the way that you do.

No, I don't see him at all.

Even though him in that movie Train Rack really was sensational.

Like he was so cute.

He was so clear, you know, and he was like the cat.

He was like brawn.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Okay, those were the fast five stories.

And you did need to know them.

And they were pretty fast.

They were pretty fast.

We were pretty expeditious about it.

Now, our TV recap segment.

We are going to be recapping The Color of Friendship, which was our toast movie of the week.

And boy am I glad that we chose it.

Boy am I glad that we chose it, that we watched it.

It was so much better than I remember.

I barely remember it.

It came out in the year 2000, so 20 years ago, I saw it.

I was six years old.

I was eight years old.

And better than I,

so much better than I expected when I was like, like, oh, I'm going to watch like the Disney Channel movie that's about race.

You know, DCOMs really don't age well.

Like I recently watched Smart House and it was a piece of shit.

I'm sure, yeah, Smart House, like now it's like, that's actually a dumb house.

No, it's like Pat is nothing compared to Siri.

Right.

But I had forgotten really that, aside from that they were exchange students living together, I forgot the premise of the movie where it's like set in 1977.

Where this like crisis apartheid in South Africa is happening.

Right.

I didn't realize like the political context surrounding it.

And then I also must have forgotten that's a true story.

Of course, I also must have forgotten to me, which was the most shocking moment of the entire movie, is that they say the N-word.

Twice.

On Disney Channel?

There's no way that that played like during our time.

But like that's the movie that was made and was made for Disney.

I honestly couldn't believe it.

I was really shocked.

They went there.

They went.

Like, you know what?

There was a few times when I was watching it.

I was like, wow, they're going there.

They're going there.

I mean, that girl, Maury, who came from South Africa, like, she was out of control and she was insane.

And, like, when she hopped off the plane and she thought that the people picking her up was like, with like the staff, and she like ordered them to go get her bags, like, my jaw hit the floor.

But you know what?

I feel like it's actually, it was a perfect movie to watch because I think it hits on exactly what we've been saying.

Like, even though that girl Maury was like cringy and stuff, like, she wasn't evil.

She was just like a victim of circumstance.

Like, that's just how she was raised.

And it's like, it was like, I almost felt bad for her.

Yeah.

And also,

I mean,

the best character in the movie is the mom.

The mom, agreed.

She's fabulous.

And, like, she's not giving up on anyone.

And, like, I feel like for maybe Piper and the Congressman, when they met Mari, they would have just sent her packing, like, this girl is a lost cause.

But the mother really, like, recognized that, you know, she's merely a victim.

Like, exactly.

Well, I wouldn't go that far.

Not a victim, but like.

She's just a kid, you know, and she gives her the grace.

Like, she doesn't just cancel her.

No, she gives her the benefit of the doubt.

She gives her the benefit of the doubt.

And she's like, we're going to show you, like, that you're wrong about about some of the things that you think and that you think that you know.

And she's completely right about that.

Yeah.

Totally.

No, I 100% agree that the mom was the most fabulous character.

She was just like warm and inviting and gracious.

And the congressman was all about business.

And he didn't really have time to invest in Maury, which I understand.

No.

He was busy.

But then that pivotal scene with the books, and he's just like being such a dad.

Yeah.

And it was so cute.

And by the way, that book, Roots, sounds really good.

There was a lot of like good books, recommendations in the movie.

The whole movie just felt so timely.

I couldn't believe it was a Disney Channel movie.

I watched it not realizing it was a true story.

And at the end, they talk about the real congressman.

So I did some research.

Piper, really, this is the story of Piper's a part of her life.

I had no idea that it was a true story, which is even better.

Which is so crazy.

And I always say, like, part of the reason I've loved the movies that we've been watching during Trust Movie of the Week is like, if a movie ends with like black and white text, like that is the true benchmark of a fabulous movie.

And I wasn't expecting to see text on a DCOM.

No, but

when it all said in that it was real, like I knew the apartheid, like that was obviously real.

I thought it was just like a creative take on how to explain like apartheid to kids, but it really was a true story.

And like I was shook.

Yeah, I was really shook.

I thought it was so, so good.

I really hope that you guys watched it along with us because it was so powerful.

I hope if you have kids or younger siblings, like it really is very accessible.

Like I feel like it was so well done.

But yes, by the way, like there were a few moments when I'm like, did she really just say that?

Like when they were still in South Africa and Flora was talking about

the birds.

Flora, the housekeeper was talking about the bird and she was like, it was like, why can't people be like that?

And then Maury was like, because they're birds, not people.

The things you say sometimes, Flora, like so fucking nasty, so nasty and so rude.

Like Maury,

I'm sorry, I don't know how to pronounce her name.

Maury.

Maury, like, she really needed a reality check.

And like, the movie couldn't have come at a better time for her.

No, it couldn't happen.

Like, when she comes home and she has the flag sewn into her vest, like, beautiful.

And Flora knew that, like, this trip changed everything for her.

Yeah.

Flora was the only one who knew what was about to happen because, like, she knew the recognized congressman's name.

Yeah.

It was a really, really good movie.

I loved it.

And, like, parts of it were like, honestly, like, really uncomfortable.

Yeah.

But I think that's a benchmark of a good movie when talking about racism.

Yeah.

It's, it, it's going to get uncomfortable.

It's going to get uncomfortable.

It was, it was like, it was fabulous.

It was really, really good.

I was really so impressed.

Impressed and surprised because I

didn't remember it being like such, like the historical context everything about it was so well done and totally agreed I mean it was meant to be in the 70s and I don't know when it was actually filmed but it was 2000 2000 2000 it was at points like the acting was so bad and it was very like

school after school special like PSA like it was cringy at times like with some of the outfits and like the movie montage of them in the mall dancing yeah but I was able to like pass that because it was just a fabulous movie and it's on Disney Plus.

Like, it's so easy.

I really encourage everyone to watch it if you haven't watched it yet.

Yes, I agree.

And I agree.

There were some, like, you know, cringy Disney moments.

Yeah.

But we stand.

Thus far, what has been your favorite movie that we watched?

Ooh, great question.

I think it has to be Just Mercy.

I was going to say,

there's two.

Like, either the one that I think impacted me the most and like will forever have changed how I see the world is Just Mercy.

But entertainment-wise, like I loved hidden figures.

Oh, I mean, of course.

Yeah, of course.

But I had already seen it and hadn't, so I probably would have said that,

but that's just like in my catalog of favorite movies ever.

And then with our next movie, I think that, I think I actually have seen this movie like maybe 20 years ago.

I don't know if I've seen it.

If I saw it, it was at a time when I was like too young to remember what I was watching.

So it will be like I'm watching a new movie.

Right.

We're going to watch Remember the Titans,

which I'm excited about.

It's a nice football-themed movie.

So maybe your husbands will want to watch it with you if you have a husband.

Um, and that's all she wrote.

That's all she wrote.

Yeah, her hand's tired.

I guess it's like Monday, and she's feeling

some type of way.

Well, I'm gonna go get tested for COVID anybody's like, everyone, cross your fingers and just, like, pray that I have them.

I mean, we're praying, thank you.

Um, and that's all she wrote.

And thank you so much for all the kind words so far.

It really, it truly, like, nothing feels as good than when someone compliments your comedy.

And you know what?

When people like diss your comedy, it really doesn't hurt.

Yeah, because it's like Jerry Seinfeld says, comedy is more personal than food, um, which took me a few years to understand, but now that I do, I'm gonna reference it all the time.

No, it's so true, and like, honestly, like, someone like wrote me a nasty tweet, like, this special was so dumb, like, really, like, like, saying was so offensive, which is so crazy because, like, my comedy is literally like the least offensive sub ever.

Um, and I was like, you know what?

It really, it did bother me.

Whereas, like criticism usually like literally like kills me.

I was like, that's fine.

Comedy is more personal than food.

Comedy is more personal than food.

But if you're like funny and cool and like normal, you'll love the special.
