S3 Ep88: The Bucolic One: Wednesday, May 13th, 2020

Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the morning toast.

It is a beautiful Wednesday here in New York City.

I hope it's beautiful wherever you are.

Hey, Claude, how you doing?

Good

morning, everyone.

Hope you're having a splendid, beautiful day.

I hope so too.

Well, the day is just starting for us.

So far, so good.

I have a nice view out my window.

It looks chipper.

I think I'm going to leave the house today.

It's been been about four days.

I was Zooming with my friends last night and I straight up looked like a mole woman, like so pale.

My eyes are just like in the back of my head.

I need some sunlight.

It's time.

You know, I haven't gotten that itch.

I haven't left my house in probably over a week.

I did walk Theo twice over the weekend, so I guess that counts.

But Ben's really been taking the brunt of the walks and I've just been really enjoying.

quarantine this week.

I have a whole new lease on life.

I'm being very productive.

I started a, you know, a home project.

I don't know if you saw my TikTok.

I'm going to be documenting the process on my TikTok if you want to follow me at Girl with No Job.

I'm just going to.

I saw you were like organizing makeup and stuff, but what's the project?

I'm spending a lot of time here at my desk, I guess you could call it, but it's really just my vanity for my makeup.

I don't work well on a desk.

my most work done when I'm laying in bed or like on the couch.

So, but this space has just been really cluttered up with just tons of like hair and makeup stuff.

And then also all my podcasting equipment.

So I ordered a brand new vanity from Impressions Vanity, which is like the best vanity company.

and i'm going to change out my desk but before that i needed to like clean up get rid of products i had a lot of expired makeup my um like bulbs on my vanity light were so dusty so i started phase one of a project my vanity doesn't come until next week so the project unfortunately has to be put on hold until then but it's just exciting to have something to look forward to which vanity did you get because i went through this a few months ago we used to have the same vanity the one that you have now is the one that i used to have it was teeny tiny so i went to impressions vanity and i ordered a big ass new vanity it's like way too big for the space and you you know what?

Like, it's still cluttered.

It's like more space, more problems.

Yeah.

So the desk that I got doesn't have that much more storage, but this one that I have, not only have I had it for too long, it's an actual piece of shit.

Like, you know, you had it.

It's made of.

Yeah.

It's like wobbly.

It's so thin.

Like, you could literally carry it on your index finger and spin it like a basketball.

That's how light it is.

It's just not really.

up to par with my needs.

So while the one that I got is literally the exact same shape, the exact same design, it just has a glass top.

That's what I have.

Oh, does it only have two drawers?

Yeah, it has one drawer.

Oh, with the, with the like loose site knobs.

Is that what you have?

Yep, one drawer, two knobs, glass top.

That's what I got.

That is so funny.

And I also got, because I needed more storage, I got the Impressions Vanity set of drawers that matches the vanity.

The whole

ordering, it won't come till June.

So I was like, I need more drawers, but more importantly, I need this to not look ugly and I'm very limited this corner of my bedroom has 32 inches of wall and the that vanity that we both got is 31.5 inches it's like the only vanity that works so even though it looks the same it's just like a much prettier version like this desk was actually $50 and it looks like it yeah oh voice cracked I'm emotional like saying goodbye to my old vanity um I will say that I went down the same journey as you.

This glass top one is much more massive than the other one.

And for me, it's like a little too massive.

And I did all the measurements.

So I don't know where I went wrong.

And it just like juts out.

It's so ugly.

But you know what?

That's actually a great idea to like reorganize.

I have all this storage and stuff for my makeup, but then all my makeup sits on top of my vanity and I don't go into the drawer.

So like, there's got to be a better way.

There's, you got to kick it up.

Cease pueda.

There's got, and honestly, doing a home project, TikTok really inspired me because, you know, what you watch on TikTok dictates the algorithm for your for you page.

So I've really been gravitating towards like a lot of people like turning their back patio into a summer oasis, cleaning out my pool.

And I love following along.

They do like eight part series and I got jealous.

So even though I don't like have a back patio, unfortunately, I'm limited to this corner of my bedroom, but it's the one that I like the least.

Like I really like how I decorated my bedroom.

I feel like it's really, I did a very good job.

I didn't spend a lot of money, but everything looks really like classy.

Everything's from Wayfair.

But this corner just looks like a different part, like a different house.

Someone else lives here.

So I'm excited to.

to get started on my project.

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to set up the vanity myself where I would normally get like a handy or a thumbtack to do it.

But I don't even know if those websites are like taking people and I don't really want to have someone come into the house.

So it's going to be me and Ben.

That's also a fun project.

I'm excited for you.

And now I'm feeling inspired.

I should have a big cleaning day because I don't really have like any other major plans.

Like I always do.

Actually, I think I'm going on a socially distant walk.

If you would like to come for a slice of pizza.

Hmm.

Sounds like a last-minute invitation, but I'll see what I can do.

I think you should come.

Let's Let's get a great slice of pizza.

I mean, you do make a compelling case when it comes to pizza, and I'm never one to turn down a meal, but I'm actually just very busy.

I have a lot of projects, you know.

Secret projects, special projects?

It's really annoying

to be that person, but I think a lot of people like already know what it is.

And I've been working in quarantine.

Like quarantine has actually been a blessing.

I don't know if I would have been able to devote so much time to this specific project.

And it's really turning out way better than I thought.

And I just think a lot of people are going to be excited about it and you don't want to share any additional information even though people might already know what it is no i can't i've been strictly uh ordered by the big man upstairs okay

well that's that on that then um what did i do yesterday since i last saw you guys i feel like i had such a busy day

but i guess i didn't Well, that's okay because we have a busy episode.

We have deer toasters.

We're going to recap Vanner Pump Rules and then all the other TV, which I finished never have I ever.

And I have so many thoughts.

Like my mind.

Okay, cool oh good you like it oh my god the second half of the show was spectacular like i got why people were obsessed with it i still don't like the main actress especially because she has a very emotional ending and she's just not equipped with the talents um to act in that way like she was just really giving me community theater vibes but it was good i did have one problem with the show that i know a lot of people did but we'll talk about it after we talk about banner from rules and then we'll do deer toasters so if if you want to i think we could just dive right in

yeah i think so i'm off the deep end watch Watch as I dive into the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

Love it.

Okay, first story is a very happy story.

It's a story that a lot of people have been following, but we haven't really discussed here on the toast.

And I've been like following it personally, but now we have some good news to share because Nick Cordero has woken up from his coma after his...

battle with coronavirus.

After battling coronavirus for more than a month in intensive care, Broadway actor Nick Cordero has woken up from a medically induced coma.

His wife, Amanda Clutes, made the announcement on her Instagram story while holding their son Elvis.

Quote, guys, we might have to change our hashtag to hashtag code Rocky because Nick Dadat is awake, she said.

Code Rocky is a term that medical professionals use to indicate when coronavirus patients are on their way to a full recovery.

Clutes had previously been using the hashtag wake up Nick to spread the word about Cordero's condition and show support for him via social media.

She also gave more updates regarding his condition in a separate post to her Instagram story stating that he is still weak but following verbal commands.

Quote, he's extremely weak, so weak that he can't close his mouth, but he is following commands, which means mental status is coming back.

That is so great.

This is such a great update to a story that has really captured a lot of people's hearts and interest.

And his wife, Amanda, has been like updating everyone along the way.

And I'm so happy for this positive turn of events.

I think this was like the good news that we all needed right now.

Yeah, like I've been following along as well with her Instagram stories.

And to be honest, like, I don't know if I would be as positive as she's been this entire time, like through the highs and the lows.

And she's really just like a beacon of hope.

And she's been so positive this whole time.

So I'm just really happy that she got a win because she needed it.

And I'm really, really happy.

This is just excellent news.

Yeah, this is excellent news.

And I feel like a lot of toasters and just people are very interested in this story.

So we just wanted to share a good update.

Obviously, he has a long road to recovery, but this is a major, major win.

So major.

Hopefully he can just be home soon and their family can be together because their kid is so cute and they're such a cute family.

And

well wishes.

This is revelationly mom.

This is wonderful.

Wonderful.

Okay.

Speaking of Broadway, this next story is like interesting and taking the

just taking the news world by storm.

It's really the big story of the day, I would think.

And it's really fucking random.

It's not a story, but I just wanted to put it out there in case that it's true.

There's like a major rumor going around that Chloe Kardashian is pregnant again.

She's trending on Twitter, but there's like one fake article written about it.

So it's not by any means confirmed.

I just want to put it out there in case people think it's true.

Like you heard it on the chest, you know?

Yeah.

I don't want to put it out there.

Like let her do her thing.

Yeah.

No, I'm just saying.

And like, why would there be any rumors?

Because she's at home quarantined.

So like, what would someone know or have seen

other than the lies that they've started on their fake website?

Just saying it's out there.

No, it's not out there.

We're putting it.

She's trying on Twitter.

She's trying on Twitter.

I think everyone just like wants that for her.

It's just wishful thinking, but let her do it on her own time.

If she is or she isn't.

Okay.

But here's the exciting story.

Hamilton has had a change of course.

Disney sets a July 3rd streaming release for $75 million Lynn Manuel Miranda musical.

Okay.

Hamilton, the musical, original cast on Broadway is coming to Disney Plus in July, July 3rd, right in time for Independence Day.

It was supposed to come out in over a year from now, but they bumped it up because they know that we need the content.

And I'm actually so excited because I never got to see Hamilton.

And

now I want to see it, but it's not the original cast anymore.

So it's like, it's not the same.

Now, like, I love a movie musical.

Like, this is just exactly the way that I needed to consume Hamilton.

There are so many good things about this.

Like, one, a streaming service is taking note and pushing up their content.

Thank you.

It only took you two months.

Second, I never saw Hamilton either.

People were telling me, like, you got to see it.

And I never got to see it.

And then by the time I had time to see it, it was not with the original cast.

And I just, like, wasn't interested.

So that's fabulous.

Too, this gives me hope that there could be similar projects in the works, like maybe a Ben Platt, DeRan Hanson.

It's the same type of vibe where it's like, you got to go see DeRin Hansen.

And it's good no matter what, but like it's really spectacular with Ben Platt.

So this is just giving me hope on all frontiers.

And I'm just glad that someone is listening to us.

Yeah.

Someone by the name of Robert Iger, actually, because

I thought he said he's still, he's Disney executive chairman.

And like his whole like taking a step back was like a long months long process so he's still the man in charge i think okay for now um but he and lynn manuel miranda just announced on good morning america um this bump in the schedule which is very exciting also when hamilton was on broadway with the original cast it was impossible to get tickets like you had to be like a broadway theater sleuth, you know, knowing people and they were so expensive.

So like this is just, this is a win for everyone.

And you know what?

This is especially a win for Broadway because Hamilton was amazing, but it was just like so inaccessible.

And like true Broadway lovers, like kids who love Broadway, like didn't even get to see it because it was just too unattainable.

So they're bringing it to the masses.

This is a win for Hamilton, but it's really a win for Broadway.

And this is fabulous.

I mean, I'll never forgive Lynn Manuel for not only stealing $200 from me, but also making the atrocity that was Mary Poppins.

But to me, this is a check in his column.

Like he, he's working his way back into my heart.

Yeah.

he definitely has a lot of pros and cons i would say and i feel like

because his biggest accomplishment yet is hamilton like that like he changed the world i will officially make my verdict after i've seen it you know yeah i've never even seen it i know that one song because they did a remix of a song from evan hansen where lim manuel marantha and ben platt sang together so i know one song apparently the music is phenomenal and i am definitely going to watch it i know a few of the songs one because kelly clarkson did did a cover of It's Quiet Downtown and It's So Fabulous.

And then also musical Monday every week.

Nick would play about one Hamilton song.

So I'm pretty familiar.

I like the one about

the one about the girl getting married.

I don't know.

Anyways.

Do you like seeing Broadway shows when you know the music before?

Or do you want to be like genuinely surprised?

No.

So if I same with like movie musicals, even when Greatest Showman came out and I knew I was so excited to see it, like it was going to change my life, I would not listen to the soundtrack before because first of all, it gives away like spoilers about the story and everything just makes sense in the context of the story.

Like even if I had listened to the dear Evan Hansen soundtrack before and like they're talking about raising like 18 million followers or whatever, like in the middle, like there's conversation in the middle of the songs.

Like

you need to see it in context, I think, aside from like the waving through the windows, like the big pop anthem from each show.

Like to listen to the soundtrack, it's like, it's like listening to an audiobook of the show.

I I um I listened to a few songs from Evan Hanson before I actually saw it, and the one that I really knew backwards and forwards was Waving Through a Window.

And it's such a powerful moment in this in the show.

And I was actually so glad that I knew it.

I just, that moment is like it's the culmination of everything.

I think it's right before intermission, and it was just so powerful.

And he did such a good job acting and singing that I was actually really glad that I knew it.

But normally, I tend to agree with you because if you listen to a Broadway soundtrack, they literally leave the monologue in and it totally spoils it.

Yeah, I also like when i know one of the big songs that's exciting but i i don't want to listen to the soundtrack is how i feel

so are we going to get like a new soundtrack with the same songs from

this version or it's going to be the same i think it'll be the same because it's still original cast and that's what the soundtrack is um

So I think it would be the same unless, I mean, you never know.

They probably will sell a different version.

Right.

Well, I hope for promo they do like kind of what the greatest showman did, like and have traditional pop stars and singers and artists do their own versions.

I love that.

They did that already.

And that's why Kelly Clarkson is on It's Quiet Downtown.

But then I'm excited after I see Hamilton to listen to that reimagined album.

I have so much content waiting for me.

Yeah.

No, this is just, this is great for music lovers, for Broadway lovers, for Disney lovers.

Oh, really a wonderful thing.

Thank you, Bob Iger, once again.

Hope your daughter is listening.

Okay, next story.

Cameron Eubanks is not returning to Southern Charm.

I heard this announcement is so strange because it happened on Instagram.

Yeah.

So she posted a photo standing with her co-star Patricia Aldschule and other friends with the caption, remember going out to you with friends, can't wait until we can do it again.

When a fan commented, missing the show, when are you returning?

She responded, I will not be returning.

So she didn't even make a dedicated Instagram post.

She just responded to a fan, which is kind of Weird.

Yeah.

Yeah, no, the way that it was announced was weird, but now just thinking about it, like I'm kind of down for her not to be on.

She was in just such a totally different place for the last two seasons, and it just didn't make sense that she was on the show anymore.

And she was like actually starting to bother me because I didn't agree with anything she was saying.

Yeah, she just kind of outgrew the show.

And last season was all about, you know, her getting her groove back and drinking, but that can't be every season.

And now the show has really become so much like tom foolery and drinking and single people.

And it's just like she's above it, honestly.

and so i understand this decision for her and i

i accept it yeah i think it's i think it's the right move but it is the first um except for thomas it's like a first major departure from southern charm for the most part most of the cast members have been there since the beginning um

obviously with the exception of thomas but that really wasn't much of a choice because he was you know like going to jail um

i think that this is interesting i wonder what we'll get i don't think no we lost we lost Landon.

Well, she was not from the first season.

She came in like three seasons in, right?

She came on her boat and then she was like living in LA and married to a producer.

Yeah, I think she came in the second season.

And I was just not even excited about her.

And then also, Whitney has dipped in and out.

Yes.

Yeah, because he's also a producer.

So he's like full-time in the show, but not really on the show.

Yeah.

And I think that's best for him.

Yeah.

He's not my favorite by any means.

I will miss Cameron.

I loved her.

But, you know, all good things must come to an end sometimes.

Do you think that

Eliza is coming back?

I liked her.

She's had like a lot of personal developments.

I think she's engaged, not to the guy she's on the show.

Ooh, I, when is it coming back?

It usually airs in the spring, but I haven't even seen a trailer.

No, everything is so delayed and weird.

But we didn't really talk about the Real House Does of Atlanta reunion.

We had spoken that they were going to do it via Zoom and we like said negative things about it.

I just have to say, it was very well done.

Like they obviously sent equipment to everyone because it was not Zoom.

It was not iPhone or MacBook.

It was like good enough for TV and everyone looked really fabulous and they still brought that level of glamour from like the tits up.

Yes, I saw clips.

It was, it was good.

It was good.

I'm glad because we're getting a lot of more.

virtual reunions, Vanner Pump Rules filmed.

I guess next week is the season finale, which means the reunion reunion is in two weeks, which is insane.

There was no season.

There was nothing that happened.

We'll get into it.

But also, I mean, I feel like Real Houses of New York and Beverly Hills

might still be in the realm of virtual reunions.

So

we'll see.

But I'm really glad that they were able to pull out all the stops.

That bodes well for every other show.

When they said that,

it was going to be the season finale of Vanderpump Rules next week.

I was genuinely like relieved having to turn it on 100%.

100%.

It's so unenjoyable.

And like having to even recap it, it's just like you're recapping like a farce, especially now, like what we know about Sheena.

And if you watched last night's episode through the lens of like rooting for Sheena, she was literally not on it.

You know, we'll talk about it in the recap, but I have a lot to say about Sheena, remind me.

Okay, next up, Zane Malik and Gigi Hadid are isolating in a bucolic Pennsylvania splendor.

The world's most beautiful parents to be are isolating together on Zane's farm farm in Pennsylvania.

Yolanda, Gigi's mom, also has a farm nearby where she's been busy making essential oils and gin, and he reportedly bought the farm on her advice.

The former One Direction Heartthrog revealed in 2018 that he grows crops of tomatoes, cucumbers, and cherries at the property, saying that he likes to do a lot of farm work and ride his ATV.

He added that he doesn't work well in group situations with people staring at him.

Oh, he doesn't work well in group situations.

So

I assume they were all isolating on Yolanda's farm.

But now to hear that they actually have their own farm chemon just down the road that Yolanda suggested they buy, like this is such a beautiful,

really bucolic setting for the quarantine for the Hadid Maliks.

Yeah.

And I actually love a bucolic setting.

Love.

What sounds a lot?

Bucolic.

It's like, you know, just a descriptive word of a setting.

It's a

relating to

Relating to the pleasant aspects of the countryside and country life.

That's what we need.

That's what we need.

This is lovely.

Honestly, it's a great way to spend quarantine, like

on a lot of property with like family right down the road, but it's also a really ideal way to spend your pregnancy, like out in the land with family nearby.

I'm kind of jealous.

I'm beyond jealous.

Like that's my new

personality trait is jealousy.

It's just like looking at everyone's homes and pools and farm chemons and backyards and patios and outdoor fire pits and being jealous.

On Watch Rapids Live last night, Andy was asking James and Raquel like how they were quarantined.

And she's like, I'm so jealous of all my friends who have pools.

Like we are stuck in our apartment and Tom and Ariana were on also and like they have the new house and then the pool.

And I was totally feeling Raquel.

I hate to be like the annoying person in asking this question, but it is kind of pertinent because of quarantine.

Did they mention anything about getting furniture in their house?

Do they have furniture?

So I really watched the first three minutes of the episode, but they were positioned, I believe, in their kitchen with their main living room in the background.

And it did look like there was a rug, a couch, an ottoman, a table.

So I don't know if the whole house is done.

And it's definitely been put on pause since quarantine.

But what we're watching now is over a year ago.

So I have to imagine it's for the most part furnished.

Yeah, because it doesn't bother me on the show that they don't have furniture.

But like if you were in quarantine in an empty house, like that would not be ideal.

It doesn't bother me either.

And I totally get when Ariana gets annoyed about it.

It's like that's the one thing you're going to come at her for like consistently.

Like please shut the fuck up.

Yeah, but you know what?

If you don't have furniture and your friends who have furniture are throwing a party, like don't throw a competing party where people don't have somewhere to sit.

I mean, that's a totally different conversation, which we'll talk to, but they did take care of me.

You know what?

And what Lala said was harsh, was way harsh, Ty, that she doesn't want to go to a frat house and sit on the floor in a house that doesn't have furniture.

But I felt it to my core.

When watching the two parties back and forth, like twerking asses in the air.

And then a lovely handmade burger by Brittany.

Yeah.

And they had the side and they had a bar and bartenders and like even though obviously Ariana and Tom's party won because it was cooler and more fun, like

Jackson Brittany like really wanted to do something nice for everyone and like make a nice party and they just all shat all over it and it just like made me sad.

Also like Jackson Brittany are married.

Jax is almost 40 like that was an appropriate party for them.

Right.

And like obviously they were a little more choosy about who they invited.

Yeah, we'll we'll get into it.

okay fifth and final story is a little biz biz

news because uber has reportedly been in talks with the food delivery giant grubhub about a potential takeover the negotiations are said to be continuing and not a done deal but if the two companies come to an agreement it would amount to a major consolidation of the delivery industry which has become essential to many people in the pandemic so grubhub is gonna acquire uber eats No, Uber is gonna acquire Grubhub.

Wait, that's crazy.

Grubhub's a huge company.

They also own Seamless.

But Uber's a bigger company.

Like Uber Eats seems small, but Uber itself is a massive company.

I guess.

Yeah, that's kind of crazy.

I mean, to me, it's so frustrating all the different apps because all of them have positives and negatives.

It's like sometimes the restaurant you want is on a different app, but you prefer to use the other app because it's quicker, you know?

So if they really, if all the wonderful platforms like Uber Eats, Seamless, Grubhub, DoorDash, like they were all like one big conglomerate, like that would actually be helpful for me.

I don't know.

They each have their own little pizzazz i really use like every single one of them for one thing or another um and i'm sure at the end of the day they all do the same thing but they have their own specialness yeah i like to be honest uber eats really changed the game because they were the first platform that really provided like high quality photos of all the food and now i see that like happening on almost every platform like i use caviar and and even seamless now has gotten into like the fancy photos but uber eats really was the first one to do it and it's still helpful yeah it is helpful but theirs also are a little misleading like everything looks fabulous even if you've seen the restaurant like in the street and you know that it's not a fabulous place yeah maybe i just like really have a soft spot in my heart for uber eats because of their partnership with mcdonald's oh no i absolutely love uber eats because everything looks fabulous but it's just misleading like seamless makes everything look like a pile of dog shit whether it is dog shit or it's five star like they just have a way about them that makes everything look like one star but they also have the most, the biggest database of restaurants.

Like, I don't know about other cities, but in New York, like if you're in a five-mile radius, like there are, let's say there's 20 restaurants on Uber Eats, there's 100 on Seamless.

Oh, I've never compared and contrasted, but there's like, I just have my favorite restaurants that I deliver from, and then I know which

place.

does it best.

But I will say now that we're on the topic, something that used to bother me, but I don't really order from there anymore right now, but I will probably eventually.

By Chloe, if anyone at By Chloe Corp is listening, like when you order a salad, it doesn't give you the option like to leave a note or to do no olives.

Like they let you do no chickpeas, no cucumbers, or like no feta or whatever.

But like, what about no olives?

Like that's a really controversial vegetable and like it's very flavorful.

And if you don't like it, it could ruin your salad potentially.

And also you need to make it easier to do add-ons of Italian meatballs in the specifically in the Greek salad.

That's what I like to order.

Or can I get a side of Italian meatballs?

Because otherwise I have to order an Italian sub just to eat the meatballs out of the sub and they're not even flavored the way that I like.

So that's just my personal gripe of the day.

If that could be arranged.

I'm glad you got that off your chest.

Hopefully this podcast lands on the right person's desk.

I mean, as believe receive, crazier things have happened.

We've asked for crazier things.

Like this isn't even that crazy.

No, I mean, and our podcast has reached the ears of crazier people.

Hello, my high school English teacher.

Right.

So like, I know for a fact that someone at Bi Chloe Corp listens to this and I'm just like, I'm just going to make the most of of my opportunities yeah i love like using this platform that we've built to my advantage like if you uh work at the lottery can you send me a winning ticket thanks

yeah i don't know i don't know if like that works that way but

but you know just keep shooting your shot i will never stop Never.

Okay, let's get into TV recaps, Vanderpump Rules.

Yeah, it was actually a better episode than usual.

My bar has really been lowered since this new season.

And I found myself just really rooting for the Jax and Brittany party.

Like, maybe that's just because I'm their friend and that's the vibe that I got.

I wonder, like, if I didn't know any of the cast, like, how would I choose sides?

But to be honest, like, I get that Jax is, everyone's mad at Jax and he's very clearly going through something that he.

can't really describe.

Like Sassy said it best when she said it looks like he's losing his mind.

Between all this like crazy Instagram stories, I do feel like editing was really pushing that narrative that like Jax is crazy.

Like maybe it wasn't as crazy in person.

Now that I know what I know about the editing, like I just am watching the show through a more critical eye.

I just like, I don't know, I really felt for Brittany.

I felt like the group was really like lumping her and Jax together.

And even though they're married, I just firmly believe like you should be held accountable for your own actions and your own actions only.

Like I don't feel like you should have to answer for anyone else, even if it is your husband.

And throwing a competing party, like that was mean.

And when Ariana and Brittany were folding clothes for Covenant House with Lisa vannerpalm i just felt like arianna was kind of being brood

yeah um

okay a bunch of things first of all them starting every

um

clip back from commercials with jax's stories about working out like i think they thought they were being like crafty and clever and like integrating social media in an interesting way but it was god-awful and not interesting and i don't give a flying fuck like you want to incorporate social media into the show show all the stories and videos from stasi's engagement party that kristen had to watch but wasn't there for like

there are so many different ways to do it.

And like us continuing to see Jax at the gym, like hammering this point home, I think they were trying to take a comedic angle with that.

It wasn't funny.

It was just annoying.

And they used one of the clips completely out of context.

Like when Jacks was like, I'm putting my ring back on.

They made it seem like that was a part of the conversation that like him and Brittany were having trouble and like she thought he might be cheating.

When in reality, I remember watching those Instagram stories and he was speaking about a paparazzi picture of him not wearing his ring.

And it was like, Jax Taylor spotted not wearing his ring.

And he was speaking directly to that being like, I'm actually putting my ring back on.

I was just working out.

And they just use that out of context to make it seem like him and Brittany were actually having those types of conversations.

Yeah.

And so when it comes to Jax and Brittany and like the friendships, and I understand that, like, when people are mad at Jax, like, obviously, you're a couple, you're a package duo, but like, Jax is probably the most controversial one of the group.

And Brittany is the most beloved.

So I do think that those two things should cancel each other out and people should just come to their party because you don't want to go because of Jax, but you want to go because of Brittany.

And like the fact that people aren't, the fact that like Katie wouldn't go for Britney and like Tom for Jax, like I thought that that was so egregious.

And then Katie in the tent, like pretending to give a shit about Dana's love life.

I'm like, what show am I watching?

I feel like I just like stepped into a different planet and there's like this crossover that nobody asked for.

Yeah.

I mean, in terms of the other people, half of them went to Tom and Ariana's because they were actually disinvited from Britney and Jax's.

So that I understand.

They were never invited to Britney and Jax's.

Like Danica and Charlie, like Jax does not know these people.

And I don't, it wasn't, even James and Raquel, like, they weren't initially invited to Jax's.

Like, that's fine.

The only people that I really felt should have been at Jax and Brittany's were Tom and Katie.

Completely agree.

I honestly, if I had to choose between, I probably would have went to Brittany and Jax's.

Like, all the people I, like, La La, Taffy, like, I would have wanted to be at that party, even though they made it seem like it was the losery party.

But.

Charlie was bothering me so much this episode.

Like, when she was at the party, she was like, Grandpa Jackson, I don't want to want to be at his party.

Like, good you were invited yeah she is annoying it's just like a classic case of freshmen versus seniors and like we are the seniors which is why we gravitate towards

saucy jacks the ogs and lala wherever lala goes is the place to be yeah and i thought it was interesting that brett went to the other party probably because he just like didn't want to run into max and i just wish dana was at the other party because i love her but i'm fucking done with brett like when they were sitting at that meal he was like i don't have feelings for her i'm like are you fucking kidding me?

First of all, if you don't have feelings for her, she's like shouting at the table is so embarrassing and rude.

First of all, second of all, you do, like, you just went on a date and made out.

Like, I don't understand the logic of a boy who's like, I took a girl out on two dates and we made out two times.

Why does she think I like her?

I don't know.

I have no idea.

Dana should have been at Jax's party.

That was the only thing missing.

Her comedy was funny.

Yeah, it was.

My dad's not all bad.

Like, that was funny.

Yeah, I liked it.

I mean, it takes massive cojones to perform in front of your new friends, your new reality TV cast members and have the cameras there.

And, you know, and we know editing does what they want.

They could have chosen her worst jokes and completely made her look like a fool, but she took that, that risk and I'm here for it.

And she looked so cute in her blazer.

I just like felt bad for her at that meal afterwards.

And when Sheena showed up,

it's hard because editing like makes you want to hate Sheena, but I was watching it through the suns.

I'm like, let's say someone has it out for Sheena.

Like the second she walks in, they play this like creepy music, but it's like, she didn't even do anything yet.

She just walked in.

And I saw, I saw them cutting a lot between like

things that she said that were obviously a different part of the conversation.

I'm just like more critical now.

And I just feel bad for him.

She like was totally cut out of last night's episode.

Like, whose party did she go to?

Yeah.

Also,

why didn't Sheena go to the comedy show, though?

Yes, that was strange.

I don't know.

Maybe she wasn't invited.

No, it seems like everyone was invited.

And why would she be invited to the after party?

Like, it seems like she was prioritizing other things and like dana was like that's

like that's not your friend she lives right down the street and she couldn't go i love how much stasi like respects dana yeah but it's like all of the ogs have just chosen to like raise dana up you know and it's like okay now it's not original for you to be nice to dana katie right and i think that like stasi in a way is like passing the baton on to dana

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't know what I, it'll be interesting what happens next season.

This just is like a weird limbo season.

And now, with all this stuff that's coming up out about production,

it's time for like a revamp.

Yeah, I'm,

I'm really just like, I'm excited about the new people.

Like, I'm really, and I don't even consider them new, but I really like James and Raquel.

And I love that everyone is like really seeing that he's changed.

On Watch Revolving's Live, he said he's 11 months sober.

Like, I love that.

But some of the new people rub me so the wrong way, like Danica and Charlie.

Like, Charlie, when she was waiting on Dana and Brett at their date, like, first of all, that was just weird to have a friend wait on you.

And she was just like really overstaying her welcome, like talking.

And it's like, they're on a date.

Yeah, it looks like next week is like a good episode.

Obviously, it's the season finale, but it looks like, you know, what we used to get in one episode from Vanderpump Worlds: like, everyone's fighting, Danica's coming for like Sheena from Vegas.

And I'm actually looking forward to that.

Um, but otherwise, this season has been a complete wash.

And I just want to say, like, I totally love James and Raquel.

Here I am saying it.

I love them.

I love, like, I just, I love them.

Yeah.

I was wondering when Brittany came for Katie saying that Ariana said the entire second party was Katie's idea.

We never got real clarity on whether or not that was true.

Okay.

30% of each episode these days is flashbacks.

And in that moment, I was like, where's my flashback?

I'll make my judgment right here, right now.

And they didn't give it to us.

And like, that was fucking, that was so annoying.

And you know what?

I'm not going to go back and watch the other episode, but then someone messaged me because I put this on my story.

And they said, basically, it was Tom's idea Tom Sandoval and Katie was like oh my god yes that would be hilarious whatever yeah if I remember correctly it wasn't necessarily her idea but she was really the one encouraging it 100%

and that is so fucked up also when Ariana was talking to Kristen and Carter, who I guess are back together and now like party B has to pretend like we sh we ship, whatever.

And Kristen said that Sheena said that Stasi was making fun of Ariana's house.

Maybe we missed that part, but from what I saw, that was Lala who said all that stuff.

By the way, I'm sure that Stasi said something about Tom and Ariana's house.

Like it's not the, it's not the most evil thing in the world, but fucking Ariana hopped the fuck off after that.

Like literally saying, snot-nose bitch, think she always want to pretends that she cares about me.

Like she literally went off and she was drunk, obviously, but that was a real window into how much Ariana hates Stasi.

And when she said that she like copied Sheena's shoe closet, I was just like, the teacher.

She was like, you're fucking making fun of my house in your two-bedroom apartment when you turn the other bedroom into a shoe closet because you want to copy Sheena.

Like Like that whole fucking like three seconds was fire, like literally fire breathing dragon.

I know, but it aired now and Stasi has like this massive new house that's stunning with furniture.

And I'm sure she gives two shits.

And a sponsorship from Bear Paint.

Like she's doing just fine.

Yeah.

But no, but here's the thing.

It's like, if Stasi was making fun of Ariana's house and they're going to show Kristen telling Ariana that, like, they should have showed us the part where Stasi made fun of Ariana's house.

And I was just reading another, a lot of stuff about this this editing is coming up.

Like I saw on page six today that also it was said that like Bravo wants Stasi and Bo to look like heroes in the season.

And so that would maybe explain why they didn't show Stasi making fun of Ariana's house.

But like just give us all of the story or none of or move on from the storyline.

But like these half stories, it's just not working.

Yeah.

And before we even found out about this production stuff, it just felt like the show was so overproduced and untrustworthy.

And now that we know all of this, it's even more not believable.

Yeah, I agree.

Okay.

Before we do Dear Toasters, I just want to talk about Never Have I Ever.

I finished the second half of it.

And I absolutely loved it.

It was so endearing.

And you, then there's going to be a second season because it left on like this kind of cliffhanger.

And I just like love that the boys are like loving Debbie.

And it's, it's a good show.

Oh, is that all you have to say?

Cause I was just about to turn my volume off.

Oh, no, I won't spoil anything.

It was, it was really good.

I do have one gripe that I saw.

Maybe I only felt that way because I I got a bunch of messages being like, you know, a lot of the episodes, especially episode seven, were like really fat phobic when the show is like

so

2020.

Do you know what I mean?

It's like, it just really checks a lot of boxes.

And that's why it's so popular, like Mindy Kaling making an Indian actress like the main character of a popular high school TV show.

Like that's never happened.

So it really, that's why a lot of people, I think, were drawn to it, just because it is so different.

And finally, like more representation.

And there's just like one fat character, and it just like really bothered me how it was like, he was just like a joke and like the butt of every scene.

And he like came into the big sale and was like, I heard you guys give away the free stuff.

Like, it was just really bothered me how, like,

like fat people are just like not protected from like those types of like sensitivities.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

He was just like this cute kid who was like always fat and eating and like a lazy piece of shit.

And it's like, are you kidding?

Like, it was just so disappointingly stereotypical.

And I get that like fat people aren't necessarily like a minority that, I don't know, it just, it really bothered me.

And I don't know if it only bothered me because people messaged me about it.

And then I watched this character, Eric, who was by no means even a main character.

He was just like some kid at school.

I don't know if I was so like rubbed the wrong way because somebody put that in my brain and I like wanted to see it that way.

But it was just like really disappointing.

Yeah, that sounds disappointing.

Yeah, it bothered me.

But other than that, it was a really good show.

Okay, cool.

I'm adding it to my list officially yes

getting longer and longer don't give up on it because in the beginning i was like ready to stop but last night and the episodes are 25 minutes so i needed something short like that okay cool are we ready for dear toasters yes dear toasters is brought to you by function of beauty we all know the frustration bottles on bottles of hop you's shampoo and conditioner piling up in your bathroom each one promised to be everything of the sort but they lied to you you deserve better so try function of beauty we don't all have the same hair so why should we all use the same shampoo and conditioner?

So I highly recommend function of beauty.

All right.

First up.

Let me just.

Hey, fam.

I'm writing about this to you guys because I know you and your sisters are so close and share special bonds.

My sisters and I are the same way.

We are best friends.

I'm younger, but one of my older sisters just entered her 30s and she has never been in a relationship.

I'm almost positive she's still a virgin.

She's so adamant about not needing a man, which I completely respect and admire.

Nobody should ever need a man, but I'm concerned she's not going to find love or a special connection because she's not open to it at all.

When someone asks her about her man status, she says she's just simply not dating.

Do I let her do this?

For potentially ever or should I encourage her to get out there get out there?

Obviously the queue is hard right now but after all this is over i don't see anything changing either this has been years building up and it's awkward that i'm so much younger than him than her with way more relationship experience i would be the best i would want her to find someone one day not to mention she would be the best mom ever what would you guys do if this was one of you guys love you xo xo a sister steam

um okay this is so

touchy

And if it was one of us, and I think for everyone, it's different.

And like, you know her better, but if this was one of us and I know my sisters well and I know that ultimately like all of us would want a relationship and to be a mom and to have all of those things and that even though we don't need a man, like it, you want a family and you just want that.

I would have like a sit down.

Yeah, I would have a sit down while also keeping in mind potential sensitivities

because just hearing this, I feel like it might be possible that she doesn't want a man.

She might, maybe she's gay.

Like I would just keep those types of possibilities in the back of your mind while having the conversation about that.

Like, maybe she just hasn't wanted to talk about dating or hasn't been dating because there's something like eating her up inside.

And you should lay the foundation of being like, if that's the case, like, we love you.

We accept you.

Like, just not that that's what's going on here, but it's a very possible scenario.

Yeah, I wouldn't sit down with her and be like, you need to get married, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

I would come from a place of love, obviously, with like the people.

I don't know how many other siblings you have or your parents, just like people who love her and be like, we love you.

We want the absolute best for you.

Like we are here for you.

But we also want to see you find love and happiness.

And what can we do to help you start on that journey?

And just coming, it's just the way the delivery is as important as the message.

But I think if it were us, which is what you're asking, I'm not like telling you what to do, but if it were us, that is what I would do.

I would organize like a family, sit down and just like a state of the union and be like, how are things?

What's going on?

Like, you know, what are, what, and if she's not focused on finding a relationship,

what is she focused on?

Like, where is she putting all of her eggs in what basket?

And just like, you know, moving some of those eggs around into different baskets.

Yeah.

Obviously, like what you say is so important, but how you really all come at it is also really important because it could feel like she's being ganged up on and you don't want that because then the conversation becomes about something else.

Yeah.

So just be really delicate.

Yeah, but sisters are sisters.

So sometimes you have to say stuff that's not always like the popular or easy thing to say, but you're all better off for it.

Yeah, and if you didn't care, you would just let her keep doing what she's doing and not ever like

having these hard conversations, but you do it because you love her and you care about her and like you want her to be happy.

Yeah.

Okay, this is our second and final dear toasters.

Again, if you ever want to write into dear toasters, the email is deartoasters at gmail.com.

We're talking everything from quarantine to my husband secretly donates to a sperm bank, anything.

Dear toasters, my roommate just doesn't understand this whole sharing space during her work from home days.

I typically work from my bedroom because I'm a teacher and my meetings are not nearly as often as her corporate job and she's constantly on the phone.

Lately, I've been trying to work out in our shared space at the counter and she has her desk set up.

Whenever I come out into the shared space, she immediately strikes up a conversation.

I will respond and then try to kind of make it obvious that I have to get back to work or that I'm busy and can't chat.

She was not getting the sign, so I've been putting headphones in.

Now she will just talk louder and get closer to me to make sure I can hear her.

Today she literally was asking me about baby names and how many kids I want.

I would put the headphones in and she would continue to strike up new conversation.

I literally have been typing emails while she talks and she would say, are you listening?

I'm so much less productive in my bedroom, but I have to start strictly working there because I can't take her constant conversations.

I want to use the counter and set up my own desk without having to dodge conversations all day.

Am I just being irritable or is this a valid problem?

Signs.

This is a productive toaster.

A valid problem.

What is she doing?

Honestly, like there's a million different ways you can go about this, but if this were me, like even reading this, I'm becoming irate.

And I would just snap at her.

Like, she's talking, you're working, working, she's talking to you, talking to you.

And you turn and you say, what is you doing?

You see, I'm trying to work.

I would never do this to you.

Baby names, can we have this conversation over dinner?

Like, why are you always trying to just

my workflow?

Like, working from home is hard enough.

Like, I think she just needs to be snapped the hell out of it.

Like, I, I don't really think like going in with kid gloves and being like, could you please respect my space?

Like, she's not a respectful person of space.

Like, I would just.

whip my head and be like, shut the fuck up.

Yeah, but I would be careful how you snap her back into shape because you have to live with her in quarantine.

You can't leave her house.

So you don't want to make a fight.

It's very possible that she thinks you're coming into the living room from your like quote unquote office of the bedroom because you don't have anything to do.

But people who don't respect headphones, like headphones are very much a communication device.

Like I'm wearing a headphone.

That means I'm not available for discussion.

So people who don't respect the headphone rule are social pariahs.

Yeah, I'm just like, I'm angry with her.

And honestly, if you do snap at her and she gets like, you know, miffed about it and doesn't talk to you for a few days, good.

Right.

Like that could be just what your friendship and relationship needs, like a few days off.

Yeah.

Like you could try and go to the please, you know, I'm working, but like, I feel like we're beyond this.

You put in the headphones, like you're very clearly working and she very clearly doesn't care.

And it's time to snappy O.

Yeah, you know, what's funny is we've spoken a lot about how difficult it might be to be in quarantine with, you know, a boyfriend or a fiancé that you're like uneasy about, or it could be great.

We haven't really even touched on the relationship between roommates.

Like a lot of people live with people just because they want someone who they're not super close with, so it doesn't get weird.

And now you're like stuck with the person.

Roommate situations are always like weird and iffy.

And I wonder how people are faring in quarantine.

Yeah, I think a lot of people who have roommates, or I mean, just a lot of people are have gone home to like their parents' house in general.

So there's not that many roommate situations in the queue, but there's clearly some.

And the roommates need to step off.

Step off.

In the words of Casey Muskridge.

Step off.

Yep.

um let us know how that goes with all your negativity just lay up

that's a quarantine anthem honestly yeah you should just keep playing it on repeat until she steps the fuck off

you could like create a playlist of like really um intentional songs maybe that would get to her and also like move bitch get out the way yes that's good Yeah.

So if you guys ever want to hear from us, please email deartoasters at gmail.com.
