S3 Ep120: Claudia's Birthday!: Friday, July 10th, 2020

Good morning millennials.

Welcome back to the morning toast.

Happy Friday, Friday.

Gotta get down on Friday.

And happy birthday, birthday.

Gotta get down on my birthday.

I just feel so old and so depressed and this is gonna be the worst birthday yet and I'm okay with that.

I just, I was having this conversation last night.

Well, at least you have a good attitude about it.

Yeah, you know, life is all about having a good attitude.

I'm just like, I have no plans for the future.

I have no plans for my 26th year.

I'm just, I am now at the point in my life where if somebody asks me how old I am, I will take that as an insult.

Like, and I will no longer be saying my age.

And if I'm forced to, I will say 23.

Okay.

Do what you have to do.

I understand now, like, women who get offended.

Like, how old are you?

No, that's literally me.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, hopefully things will turn around soon and you'll have plans for your 26th year, all your big dreams and your big goals yeah no for sure all the fabulosity will be in store for you so hope that you have a happy birthday um i don't know how we can turn the frown upside down today but we're gonna try well i i apologize for being so pessimistic i am incredibly hungover from you know i had a few well that's good news yes it's it's it's a little good news i had a like a small you know

A few drinks, a couple shots, you know,

with some friends last night, which was nice.

Like, I was going to ring in my birthday, like, sad and in my bed, watching the the crown.

I started the crown, you guys.

That's a very sad show to watch while ringing in your birthday.

So Ben was like, do you want to like

have a drink?

And I was like, sure.

And then the night just kind of took itself from there.

And it was fun.

I'm glad that I'm hungover, but like I'm just, I'm miserable right now.

Like I'm so nauseous and I'm so old.

And like the combo is really hitting me.

Well, you look quite fabulous today in your Windbreaker.

I was like coming down the hall.

I was like, is that Windbreak?

Being broken, right?

And it was you.

And thank you for your service.

But also, you really do look great.

And you should feel great.

And, you know, since you're hungover, I guess I'll have to be like extra funny, perky, and excited today.

But you know what?

That is my birthday gift to you, along with the gift that I got you, which I think you'll really like.

I'm excited for gifts.

And you know what?

I'm really excited for cake.

And to be honest, if I know you and like you didn't send some sort of speed treat to my house today, like consider yourself disowned.

Consider yourself unknown.

Yeah, like I really like look forward to like the baked by Melissas that I'm assuming are going to be waiting for me when I get home But like if I get home and there's no cupcakes like I just want to say like I will be obsessed you guys I I mean I believe in in the people around you to do those things for you But like now if anyone watching is someone who's close enough to know Claudia's hydrograph, can you please send some shit and I'll give you my credit card number.

Yeah, no, I'll Venmo you please send it.

Also like if I work with you, like, you know, flowers are nice, but like cupcakes are appreciated.

I just, I can't stress that enough.

I feel like I should have said that earlier.

It's not too late.

Maybe last week so that people could have prepared.

She won't be home for like an hour at least.

So if you know her well enough to know her address, please send something.

I'll then mo you.

We got you covered.

We got you covered.

The only thing that can make me, you know, happy on this terrible birthday is Svetz.

Sveets can cheer up any day.

And Olivia,

when we went over to Olivia's house, she had so many Sveets.

So many Svets.

So if I don't get just as many or more than Olivia, like I'm going to cry.

Okay, we will get on the Sveets train for you.

Okay.

I'm actually going to be home in maybe a little bit more than an hour because I'm thinking of after this treating myself to a pedicure.

Well, speaking of, I'm so glad you brought that up because I treated myself yesterday to a pedicure.

It was really the one skill I was unable to master in quarantine.

And let me just tell you, it was phenomenal.

Tip though, I didn't know.

You have to make an appointment before you go.

Oh, no.

So I showed up and they were like, you have to make an appointment.

So I like made an appointment for three minutes later.

Yeah, so I just came back.

Worth it.

It was so fabulous.

I didn't get a manicure because I do find manicures to be a little stressful.

And I've been enjoying doing them on my own.

Also, because all of my nails are broken and I don't don't want to show up until they're back to their healthy state, so they could be like, Wow, your nails are proud.

Yeah, right now I'm not proud of them.

No, I'm like, I really need a manicure, but to me, that is something that is like so, so much an exchange of germs.

You sit so close to

the artist.

Where I went, it was so

well done.

I think every place is like that.

They take your temperature, they make you sign in, say if you've been near anyone who's been exposed to COVID.

Each pedicure seat has a plastic partition in between, and the manicure table has a plastic partition in between the manicurist and the manicuree, and you just show them your hands.

And then you can sanitizer everywhere.

It's, it, I really felt quite safe.

I brought my book.

I was very relaxed.

It was very nice.

Okay.

That would be a fun thing for you to do today.

Yeah, because I am going to get like an extra 10-minute foot massage.

Like, I have been dying for a massage in quarantine.

Like, that has been the one thing that I just can't live without.

And I don't even get massages that often, but I just, I guess I'm tense or something.

Yeah.

And I'm going to get like a little foot rub, and that's what I'm really excited about.

That will be like the creme on top of my creme pie.

The cherry on top.

Yeah, that's what I was gonna say.

Thank you.

No worries.

Um, before we get into everything, how are you feeling about the crown?

Should we wait for TV recap segment?

Um, no, because I'm like barely, I've really not made enough progress.

I think I'm on like episode seven of the first season.

And here are my thoughts:

My thoughts are: I'm really not like into history, nor do I have like an extensive knowledge of let alone American, but British history like I'm just not that smart you know so I do find myself lost many times but do you find yourself interested and curious yes of course like the glamour honestly I don't really care about like the parliament and like the prime minister stuff but I do like live for like the royalty and the gossip of course and the brother who had to abdicate the throne like that little shit like I like the drama um and it's actually really smart like

like they need a TV show like, a drama about a TV show.

Like, what's more dramatic than the Royal Family?

Like, it's funny how it's like a show, but like, it's real, you know?

And I like it.

It's fine.

Like, Prince Philip is a pussy, and I can't stand him.

And he does not support women.

Like, you could get that vibe from him immediately.

100%.

But, you know, like...

He comes around, but the first two seasons are really rough for him.

The first season is really slow in general.

So if you're able to stick with it, you'll only like it more and more.

I don't dislike it.

It starts to move even faster.

And every episode is really like a cultural moment that you probably know about.

Not all of them, but then the ones that I didn't know about, like the landslide,

you'll see,

was just like devastating and an interesting piece of history.

So I quite found it all quite interesting.

Yeah, it's good.

I mean, literally, the girl, Claire Foy, looks just like Queen Elizabeth did when she was a child.

I'm like, you know what?

You know what I find so interesting?

I get like, I have a weird sense of time.

So it's like, this is the 50s.

And to me, like, the 50s is forever ago.

But, like, it's really not.

And, like, like they were able to televise her coronation and like they get paparazzied everywhere they go but it's like i literally thought paparazzis were like a 20 year old thing yeah well it's a different sort of paparazzi but yeah it's it is it's the modern age yeah and she really ushered us into the modern era and for that she's a queen we have no choice but to stand queenie vibes she's so little like even in the show like her little vibe is really perfectly uh portrayed but she's such a great queen and you'll continue to see that yeah and then you'll understand why some of us royalists were just so upset by what Harry and Megan did.

I understand.

One thing, it's like I was really sad when her dad died, but like I couldn't deal with the coughing anymore.

Like it was bothering me.

It was so gross.

Like, and having to watch him like cough up blood and like put those dirty napkins like in his bedside box, like it was so nasty.

So even though I was sad to see him go, I was not sad for like the coughing to stop.

I don't recall there being so.

Oh my god, there was so much coughing.

And like literally, it was the kind of cough where like you literally think the person's gonna die.

Like,

have you ever seen the king speech?

No.

Oh, I thought maybe that you had, but the king's speech is about her dad.

Oh, Colin Firth is her dad.

Yes.

Yeah.

And it's in, and it's about his

transition into power when his brother abdicated.

Got it, got it, got it, got it.

So if you ever like really get into it, that would be a good thing to watch next.

Got it.

Okay.

Like, I can only think of people as how they're related to Queen Elizabeth.

Like, all the other, like, I can't, the familial relations and like the family tree and the ancestry is too complicated.

I'm like, who are you to Elizabeth?

Yeah, I mean, that's how it works, though.

Like, who are you to Elizabeth?

And the further you get, like, the less relevant you are.

Yeah.

And also, like, it's no wonder why, like, nobody likes Charles, you know, because like he was really raised by Philip, who was also like a man who didn't support women.

Um, you'll see, it's, it's interesting, Charles's upbringing.

And has he been born yet, you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Is he in school?

Um, I'm sure he is, but I haven't seen him at school.

His school becomes a school.

But I assume he has the best education in all of us.

Okay, his school becomes a big topic for discussion, and you're going to see a different side to Charles.

Okay.

And at first, at first he's sweet, and then he's sour.

Okay, well, actually, I do like it, and that's what I'll be doing today, if you want to feel bad for me.

Yes, come on.

Honestly, now that we're going back down memory lane, it sounds like a great day.

Yeah.

No, it's not so bad.

And Theo's there, and he's just looking so cute.

Theo is here.

He's here.

And he's asleep.

He decided to fall asleep off camera, which is so fucking rude.

Which is so rude.

I guess he just kind of wanted to be out of the limelight today.

He's like, let's focus on mom.

It's her day.

By the way, that's actually very sweet of him.

Yeah, no, he knows, like, obviously everyone's going to stare at him when he's in frame.

Yeah, it's so true.

But he was like, mom put on her fancy windbreaker.

She did.

Everyone look at her.

It's a big day for mom.

Okay.

Is that all she wrote before she started writing the next paragraph?

No, by the way, it's not at all.

all she wrote because we literally have a whole show to do.

No, no, before she started writing the next paragraph, which is.

I guess she's pressing enter.

She's pressing enter tab because now it's time for the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

And as promised, today is Friday, which means we are going to be highlighting a black-owned business.

And I am really excited about today's because it is True Nude.

Founded by Deny Pointer, True Nude is a personalized, sustainable undergarment brand that women can wear comfortably and confidently.

As a black woman, it was always impossible for Denai to find her shade of nude, but also with a 32 double G bra, she needed to be able to find her size on the rack.

Deny was always self-conscious about her body, and she always wanted to find a way to reclaim her body and help other women who felt the same way to feel confident in their own skin.

Deny found True Nude and moved to LA from Brooklyn.

in 2017 to be closer to the production.

True nude is made of luxurious bamboo fabric sourced locally in LA and made by a badass team of women.

True nude offers a variety of undergarments and has a simple three-step process.

Select your garment, pick your skin tone, and finalize your order.

Once you select a style of your choice, you can upload a photo of yourself to find your own shade of nude.

Deny has founded a brand where every shade of nude exists and where every woman can feel comfortable and confident in their body.

They are currently selling out of shades but are working on restocking as quickly as possible.

To shop all styles,

find your own shade of nude and to receive 15% off your first order, visit mytrue nude.com and use the code Welcome15.

So the link is mytrue nude, M-Y-T-R-U-N-U-D-E dot com and use code welcome15.

That's welcome15.

You can also find them on Instagram at TrueNude.

Fabulous.

Love it.

Okay, let's get into the stories.

Our first stories,

an ongoing story from yesterday, very, very sad.

An update on Naya Rivera.

Police say they, quote, don't know if they will find her body.

It's a complicated search.

As the search for Naya Rivera continues, police say they don't know if the actress's body will be recovered.

During a press conference on Thursday Thursday addressing Rivera's disappearance, Ventura County Sheriff's Office Sergeant Kevin Donahue said, quote, if the body is entangled in something underneath the water, it may never come up.

We don't know, he added.

Due to the conditions of Lake Pirou, Donahue said the search for Rivera is complicated.

He explained that at this time, the visibility of the lake is not very good.

It's terrible.

Quote, there's a lot of trees and plants and such that are under the water that can cause entanglement.

Makes it unsafe for divers and a complicated search, he said.

Ahead of the press conference, police told People Magazine that they are confident that Rivera is still in the water as because at this time there's no evidence that she made it to shore.

Holy shit.

I mean, I literally, I feel like this story is just like shaking the world because everyone's, whether you're like a mom or you're just like, you're sympathetic, it's just such a freak accident.

And it's just so sad.

I mean,

I'm such a glee fan and it's just devastating.

Yeah, it's really sad.

So she has been presumed dead.

Yes.

And it's a recovery mission, not a rescue mission.

Yes.

So

we can still pray and hope for a miracle.

But this is just extremely sad.

And I feel like it happened so fast.

Like all the information came out so fast too.

Well, I think it's because it happened like in the late, in the very early morning.

So it was all day yesterday.

And

crazy.

They're just keeping us updated.

But

her son has been reunited with his father, which is great.

I'm just

that kid.

Oh, my God.

Just, can you imagine like

what he saw?

No, I can't.

I can't.

Really, really sad.

And

I just, I'm so, I'm so sad.

I'm so sad.

We're still thinking and praying for her family at this time and praying for a miracle.

A miracle.

That's what we need.

Next story, some happy news.

Okay.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Justin Makita welcome their first child together.

Welcome to the modern family baby Beckett.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson and lawyer hubby.

Yeah, Justin Makita welcome their first child together.

The actor's rep confirmed to page six on Thursday.

Quote, Jesse and Justin welcome their little bundle of joy, Beckett Mercer, Ferguson, Makita.

On July 7th, 2020.

Ooh, Olivia has a new birthday buddy.

Beckett Mercer Ferguson Makita.

Okay.

The new parents are overjoyed and excited for this new journey as a family of three.

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

Happy for them.

Even though they're a little thirsty on Instagram, but like I'll allow it.

Yeah.

And like who isn't these days?

So true.

You know, and I can't.

Who am I to judge?

Now that obviously a lot of industries are on pause.

Everyone's taken to Instagram to thirst out.

To thirst out and honestly just to like occupy their time.

Of course.

Beckett is a very cute name though.

It is a cute name.

I've been like very in tune with celebrity names now.

I feel like for the last year, just like thinking, because now like, you know, there's babies happening.

And so I'm like,

what are good names?

You know?

what are you thinking?

Um, you don't want to share Shayla.

Oh, no, I wouldn't, I will not share.

Shayla, I will not share.

Shayla walked so we could run.

Yeah, see, she taught us a lesson.

That was an important lesson from Sex in the City.

I mean, I feel like I could have figured that out, but it was good that everyone learned it.

Agreed, you know.

Um, okay, next story, something that we've been talking about, and I don't know if this was already news, but it's the first time I'm hearing about it.

Victims are sharing horror stories in the first look at Surviving Jeffrey Epstein show.

A trailer for Lifetime's two-night special surviving Jeffrey Epstein has been exclusively shared with the Post.

Much like the network special Surviving R.

Kelly, the documentary will feature several in-depth interviews with women who claim to have been trafficked by Epstein.

The four-hour special will air Sunday, August 9th at 8 p.m.

and Monday, August 10th at 9 p.m., exactly one year after the pedophile was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell.

Thank you for not saying that he killed himself.

Right.

Quote, being abused by Jeffrey Epstein is a life sentence.

One woman woman says in the video clip, he was enjoying violating me.

I'm going to fight back, says another.

So this is what we were just saying.

A documentary came out on Netflix, and we were hopeful that another one would come out because you felt as though justice was not served.

I felt like we were robbed in a lot of ways as it pertained to the real connections Jeffrey Epstein made in Hollywood, in politics, in business, in global affairs.

So obviously this sounds good, but this is also not really what I was.

missing.

But who knows what they'll do.

Lifetime does a good job, honestly.

Normally I roll my eyes at Lifetime because like, everything they do, like that weird Harry and Megan movie, like is so tacky, but they did a phenomenal job with R.

Kelly, and I think that I trust them to

do justice for these girls.

I agree.

I think this will be a very powerful documentary.

I look forward to watching it.

And Lifetime, I'm here for Lifetime.

Yeah, no, it's good stuff.

And oh, I'm part of the Lifetime Movie Club.

It's so fabulous.

Like, the dramas, ooh, it's chilling stuff.

I mean, Lifetime,

when I was a kid, Lifetime Lifetime was like these like over-dramatized like murder thrillers.

Spoiler alert still is.

Really?

I thought now it's like Hallmark vibes.

So okay, they kind of get their dip their toe in a lot of different fields.

And I think their bread and butter is always those like lifetime murder mysteries, you know, woman, gone girl situation, like, you know, watered down, gone girl.

So they, that, they've been doing that for a while.

During the Christmas season, they do try to come for Hallmark's crown.

And you know what?

I am just appreciative of more Christmas movies so I'm not gonna say anything and then also actually I know I've spoken about it many times on the show but was it on lifetime I saw a lifetime Christmas movie starring Maim Bialik that literally ruined my life yeah no it clearly it clearly caused some devastation for you because I don't know if you're able to go like a month without talking about it.

I'm not.

I'm literally so triggered by it.

I'm not.

I'm not able to go a month.

So thank you, Lifetime, for ruining Christmas movies for her.

Yeah.

And then also they do this serious work like the one that they did with Surviving R.

Kelly.

And so I.

No, then they also have the other layer of weird celebrity biopics where like they did the Britney.

And it's so strange.

They did Adam Nicole Smith.

I caught that one.

That's like the Megan and Harry thing.

Yeah, that it's like community theater.

It's so bad.

Yeah, it's definitely community theater vibes.

Yeah.

It's so strange.

No, it's such a weird, and like they're widely reported, like casting has been set for, and like nobody cares.

No, it's like, but you're always hearing about it.

Yeah, that's really true.

They need to pick a lane.

Yeah.

Two lanes, you know, because Hallmark does have

movies and mysteries as well.

I love TV shows.

Yeah, no, they so they do two different things because they do their like classic love story, but then they also do a little spooky stuff on the movies and mysteries channel.

Yeah.

Well, now they have a separate channel for it.

Yeah, interesting.

Because it was big business.

Big business.

So, anyways, August 9th and 10th, Surviving Jeffrey Epstein will be on Lifetime.

Check it out.

I'm always happy to support something that furthers the Jeffrey Epstein narrative.

Like, I just don't want it to ever be forgotten.

I completely agree.

Next story, very sad.

Robert De Niro says coronavirus has decimated his finances.

Robert De Niro says he's running out of De Niro.

The coronavirus dealt.

That's funny.

That is funny.

The post, this page six, funny.

Oh, that was page six, funny.

The post is funny.

Sure.

The coronavirus.

No, they are.

They have like their headlines for stuff.

The coronavirus dealt a massive blow to the actor's finances, he revealed in court as his estranged wife asked for an emergency order to raise her monthly American Express card card credit limit from $50,000 to $100,000.

The Irishman actor appeared on a Skype call in his Manhattan divorce case with Grace Hightower as her lawyer told a judge that De Niro unfairly cut her monthly Amex allowance from $100,000 to $50,000 and said she and their children had been banned from an upstate compound where De De Niro is staying during the pandemic.

But lawyers for De Niro said he cut Hightower's credit card limit because he's taken a huge financial hit as the restaurant chain Nobu and Greenwich Hotel, both of which he has stakes in, have been closed or partially closed for months with barely any business.

Wait, I didn't know he owned a piece of Nobu.

Yeah, no, this is really interesting.

De Niro's lawyer told the judge that Nobu lost $3 million in April and another $1.87 million in May, and he had to pay investors $500,000 on a capital call, which he borrowed money from his business partners to make because he doesn't have the cash, his lawyer said.

I'm sorry.

Robert De Niro doesn't have $500,000.

He's doing something wrong.

Well, I mean,

keep listening because it is interesting.

No, but even though in a divorce proceeding, he's obviously trying to make it look like he has way less money than he does because he doesn't want to fork it over.

Yes, but this is an old divorce.

Like, he had to cut his

checks to his ex-wife, and now the ex-wife is like, why are you cutting it?

And it's because he's not making the the money that he used to make.

He shouldn't necessarily be paying what he used to pay.

Okay, but like he definitely has like a nice sum of money from all the movies over the years, you don't think his lawyer also explained that under the terms of their 2004 prenuptial agreement, Robert De Niro is only required to pay High Tower $1 million a year as long as he's making $15 million

or more in income.

And if his income declines, his payments to her proportionally do so too.

His accounts and business managers say that the best case for Mr.

De Niro is if everything starts to turn around this year, he's going to be lucky if he makes $7.5 million this year, which is less, but it's less than the $15 million that she's used to.

Poor Robert's only going to make $7.5 million.

This is such a dumb story.

Like, I'm sorry.

I don't feel bad for you, Robert De Niro.

Like,

if you're going to be in this business, Robert De Niro is one of the most successful actors of all time, has been in some of the highest curtains movies of all time, and like he can't figure out how to pay child support.

Please.

His lawyer said that these people, in spite of his robust earnings, have always spent more than he has earned.

So the 76-year-old robust man couldn't retire even if he wanted to because he can't afford to keep up with his lifestyle expenses.

Oh, the poor old rich man can't retire.

Why am I not sad?

Like at all?

Sorry, we're in an economic crisis and this is so out of touch.

Like I can't even begin to scratch a surface on what's wrong with this story.

Like,

sorry.

I literally.

Wow.

Like, here's the thing.

This is me not feeling bad for Robert De Niro.

No, no sympathy for Mr.

De Niro from you.

No.

to the man who's making seven and a half million dollars this year, no, there's none.

None from me.

You can search elsewhere.

Check out another morning show.

Look for a little sympathy from them.

Because it ain't gonna be me.

Okay.

I think that's fair.

Yeah.

Like, really, Robert?

Now?

Like, read the room, Robert.

Okay, well, like, we're in a national economic crisis.

Millions of people.

Not like he talked to his Instagram and was like, feel sorry for him.

Like, this is just what we know.

From the courts, you know.

And obviously, he's having a rough go of it right now.

I just, I hope to be

in a place in my life when I'm 97 or however old he is.

76.

76.

I really hope to be in a place where, like, on a bad year, I make $7.5 million.

That's truly all one can hope for.

There was also an interesting factoid in the article that he already got paid for The Irishman and he's likely to just get paid $2.5 million from that in 2020 and 2021.

That's kind of low.

Yeah.

That is kind of low.

I thought so, so, too.

Yeah.

Maybe, like, I feel like certain movies you do as like prestige, not for the money.

Whereas like he did the intern for the money, you know?

Yeah.

Even though it was a fabulous movie.

One of his best.

One of his best.

I couldn't agree more.

Okay, fifth and final story.

Shannon Bedor's ex-husband, David Bedor, is expecting a baby with his fiancé.

And we need a wellness check on Shannon.

Yeah, we do.

The ex-husband of Real House Rise of Orange County star Shannon Bedour is expecting a child with his fiancée Leslie Cook.

Cook revealed the news on her private Instagram story with footage of a bun in the oven and Ed Sheeran's small bump playing in the background.

She also posted a TikTok video.

That's not what that song is about, Small Bump.

I just want to let you know.

She also posted a TikTok video telling her daughter the news.

Wow, she sounds

quite young.

She said, she's going to be a big sister.

Can you believe it?

Are you excited?

Are you excited?

Show me how excited you are.

I can't believe I missed that TikTok.

It sounds amazing.

Whatever.

Happy for them.

I just think Shannon's going to be really unwell from this, and I really need her.

Because it's one thing for your ex-husband and the father of your children to move on with another woman, but it really changes the game when that person has a child.

And

eek.

Yeah.

Eek, eeek.

Also, Davidori's hot.

Yeah, but he's so mean.

No, like his, his insides aren't hot, but his outsides hot.

Yeah, but at a certain point, the insides start to affect the outside.

Of course, in both, in a good and a bad way.

Like, if you have a fabulous inside, like, it really makes you hot.

100%.

100%.

Also, did you see Francesca Farrago from Too Hot to Handle?

I don't know why I just thought of this.

She flew to Dallas for like some work stuff, and she was having lunch or dinner with Damien, like a bunch of people, but Damien from Love is Blind was there, like the two Netflix shows.

Oh, interesting.

But is he still with Giannina?

She might have been there, but I couldn't say.

I

don't know.

They, Giannina and Damien, and just like a lot of those people from Love is Blind became so famous and so relevant in the blink of an eye.

Yeah, now that Francesca's single, I've been like wondering what her next move is going to be.

Diablo comments on her Instagram.

She comments on his.

I think that that could be something there could be something brewing there.

And I was, I'm sure she's just been like sitting while she was in a relationship.

And I think she was really committed to her relationship and never really like looked

elsewhere.

But I'm sure she had the thought, like, oh wow, I'm a big star now.

Who could I date?

Right, five million followers.

Diplo's commenting on my Instagram.

She like the most beautiful woman in the world.

No, now she's also hanging out with Tana Mongeau in LA.

Like she's really, she's getting places and I'm like loving it.

Also, they made like such a cute TikTok.

They've been hanging out with Tana Mongeau and Francesca and they made out in one and I kind of ship them now.

So we'll see.

Cute.

Yeah.

That's funny that you said the Diplo thing too.

It now makes me feel like there's definitely a ship like

every photo.

It's not just one that he comments.

Like consistently he's commenting on every single one of her photos.

Wow.

Okay.

That's a couple to me, honestly.

That's a people who are DMing and have something funny going on and like the comments are like, you know, nods back to inside jokes that they made via DM.

Yeah.

No.

I really ship it.

I guess they're engaged.

Wow.

Do you think we'll be invited to the wedding?

No.

Okay.

TV recap segment.

We're going to talk about Real House Was of New York, which was back again after, oh no, it was back last week, but we didn't recap last week.

So we'll just talk about the whole thing in general.

Let's talk about the Halloween party first because that was last week.

Oh yeah, what happened to the Halloween party?

Sonia

showed up so drunk.

Dorinda made that awful toast.

And she, Dorinda did something amazing.

She actually managed to make me feel bad for Ramona Singer, which has literally never happened in my life.

I felt so...

bad for her.

It was so uncomfortable.

I don't know how these women continue to forgive each other.

How Sonia, Ramona, and Dorinda are like the best of friends, yet they hurt each other in the most

egregious ways every week.

That fucking behavior from Sonia Morgan, I hadn't seen ever.

Like, it was insane.

I never saw someone so drunk in my life.

Yeah, no, it was wild.

She was being funny.

Leah looked amazing.

At least, oh, I mean, she always looks amazing, but yeah, she looked in stellar.

Instellar.

At least when Sonia

gets drunk and like is at her most drunk, like, she's still so sweet and funny and lovely.

Harmless.

Harmless.

Other people,

venom.

That fucking speech, to be so triggered by Ramona being like, Are you drunk?

Like, was so insane.

And honestly, I don't agree with Dorinda at all.

Of course, Ramona's problematic in her own ways, but like, you're all bent out of shape because she made you, because you don't, because Ramona doesn't want to share her birthday party with Sonia.

Yeah.

Like, I know it's trivial because, like, they're 60-year-old women fighting about birthday parties, but like, Ramona's planning a party for her birthday.

Like, why does it have to include Sonia?

Also, when I rewatch the scene and Ramona says, are you drunk?

It's right when Dorina's like really up in her face.

And I'm sure Ramona just smelled alcohol.

I'm just like, oh, are you drunk?

That's why you're talking about it.

I'm sorry.

Like, someone thinking Dorinda's drunk at a party is not the craziest thing ever.

She always is.

Also, it's like Halloween.

It's a big soiree.

Why wouldn't you be drunk?

Yeah.

You know, I just, and also, Dorinda is two different people when she's drunk or when she's sober.

So asking that question, like, really does change the tone of the conversation.

Do I need to take this seriously or not?

Right.

We got a Jill Zarin cameo, which was nice.

We did.

I like her.

Yeah, I like her too.

It's always nice to see.

I don't know if I want like her to make a return.

Like I wouldn't be opposed to it, but I just, I like seeing her.

Yeah.

It's a nod back to like when simpler, things were simpler.

I don't think it makes sense right now because I do think we need to head in the direction of like more Leah's

and less

Durundan Ramonia.

What were your thoughts?

Ramonia.

What were your thoughts on the Zoom confessionals?

Okay, so you had really got me.

Hyped up that they were terrible.

I thought Leah's was nearly perfect in in terms of the echo of her audio working with just confessional and

background.

Oh, I didn't care about the background.

I really cared about the audio because it just went.

I felt like I was watching a YouTube video when you're watching all these different clips put together in a vlog and the audio is different every time and then someone puts music over it.

I'm like, I have to keep changing my volume.

Luann's audio was atrocious, like worse than anything I've ever heard.

I thought that Ramona and Sonia's was pretty good.

And I also liked the fact that they were able to give good interviews, despite the fact that it's not as glamorous as it once was.

Sonia looked amazing.

Sonia looked amazing.

So it didn't totally, I got kind of used to it, but every time Luann's came on, because sometimes the confessionals play in the background while we're watching the scene, and it's like you almost don't know what you're listening to.

And so some of the women had really good confessionals.

And I mean, Luann's really brought down the group average.

Elise has a confessional.

What is going on with her?

I know why she's sitting in her foyer, like in front of her front door.

It's the weirdest thing.

She's not a housewife.

I think she had a similar experience, Jeremy Barbara Kay, where it's like, we think you're interesting.

Let's give you a camera.

We gave you a camera.

There's nothing interesting about you.

Even though she is really involved in the drama, she's just so lame.

Like every time she does something, I just cringe and want to die.

Like even her fighting with Ramona, it was just so kind of like she was acting and then she's like, let me sit on your lap.

No, and it's like she's fighting with Ramona and it seems like Elise is really in the right.

She's probably a very good friend, Ramona.

Her telling about Ramona like taking off her cover-up and massaging her husband's back, like, I can't even tell you how much that grinds my gears.

Like, I just do not

fuck with people like that at all.

So, she's totally in the right.

But when they're fighting in the Berkshires, I'm like, leave Ramona alone.

No, totally, because to me, it's just like Elise might be upset about what's going on, but she's just really like gnawing for a storyline.

And it's too obvious for me.

No, but even if you are in the right, like if you can't drive your point home and make your argument like succinctly and correctly, you've lost me.

I only have so much time for like this.

Nonsense.

I agree.

I think that Dorinda's house looks amazing.

Stunning.

I mean, maybe it's because I have quarantine eyes also, in addition to all of the revamps that she did.

But you know what?

When we saw the first scene of her there, and then like three minutes later, she says, she talks about how she got Richard's stuff out and the energy feels lighter.

I was like, I can feel the energy from my TV.

Like,

it's so much lighter and brighter.

It's so beautiful there.

She did such a beautiful thing.

The bedrooms are beautiful.

I'm really happy for her that she got it all in check and that she's feeling lighter about everything because it was obviously weighing her down and that affected her relationships with everyone and everything.

And so I was very happy to see all of that come to fruition.

And you know what else was interesting about last night's episode?

For the first time in a while, I think LuMann was drunk.

Yeah.

Because she was being insane at the end.

Okay, but also she must be drink.

I haven't been watching whether or not she's drinking when the women were having rose with those amazing balls of ice.

Yeah.

I need to get some of those.

I wasn't sure.

I didn't look to see if she was drinking, but then when she talks to Sonia, like, she's a drunk person.

And when she was talking to Ramona at the end.

Oh, and she's just like looking like it's just, no.

So I wonder if she's drinking with the women or like...

Secretly.

Secretly.

I feel like she's drinking with the women.

Okay.

That was really sad to watch.

Yeah, because

so much of me wants to believe and really did think that like she really didn't have a problem with alcohol.

It was just like she got herself in a bad situation.

Oh, no, not even that.

Because I feel like maybe she's just drunk.

They're in the Berkshire is like

in the same way that Duranda gets up and starts talking and like is speaking nonsense.

Sonia's having everyone's drunk.

So like she's allowed to be drunk, but like what she was saying to Sonia, who is so sweet and so supportive and like really only ever been a good friend to her, doesn't have a mean bone in her body, was so rude.

And also, at the end of the day, she should be paying Sonia.

Of course.

And Sonia gets a higher, like, unfortunately, this is the world that we live in where it can be.

Yes, she's not trained on Broadway.

If you're a reality TV star and you're showing up to perform somewhere, like, you are going to be paid more than someone who's a Broadway trained actor or comedian or dancer.

It's the industry.

It's true.

It's the industry.

And it's, it's, I think that Luenn, in a lot of ways, thinks she's doing Sonia a favor by letting her come on the show.

And I could see how she would think that.

Like Luenn really has built something really impressive.

Like her show was very successful.

It got picked up by Live Nation.

But

to just disregard Sonia and like not even acknowledge the fact that like she's actually doing you a favor too, it was disappointing.

Yeah.

And

it was very disappointing.

The women were shocked to hear.

And I think that's kind of, we even had this discussion when they were rehearsing together.

I was like, is she paying her?

I hope she's paying her.

And then it came, you said that she was paying her $250, which doesn't even cover hair and makeup.

I'm sure amongst the women they had these questions like, what is she paying her?

Should be $5,000, should be $10,000.

When she was like $250, and Ramona's like, you mean $2,250?

And she's like, no, $250.

Like, I think it was very interesting for the women to hear that because she is being taken advantage of.

So again, and the fact that she even needs to ask her to be paid more, like, just then you should pay her more.

I agree.

She's being taken advantage of.

Well said.

Yeah.

And so that was sad to watch, especially like watching Luanne dig in, like call everyone these mean names.

But that is probably because she's drunk.

Hopefully next week she'll wake up and she'll feel differently about it.

Yeah.

I just like honestly really enjoyed watching them in the Berkshires.

It just looked like such a fun, cozy weekend.

Like I really wanted to be there.

Yeah, Farm chemon vibes, like, watching it in quarantine makes it all the more sweet.

So sad.

And jealous.

Um, but the house really, it did look stellar.

And what else?

Was that pretty much it?

Yeah, it was a boring episode otherwise, but I didn't watch anything else last night because I was drunk.

Oh, I'm almost done with my book.

It's called The Second Home, and it's really good.

So if you're looking for a nice, a nice read, I'd recommend that.

We're always looking for a nice read.

I think you might like it.

Okay.

Anything else before we wrap and I go throw up?

Well, I think you have to sing happy birthday.

Of course.

I'll sing it, but I just don't want to hurt your head anymore than I might.

But before you do that, we're just going to wait for a sweet treat for you.

Sweet here.

A sweet.

A sweet is here for you.
