Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the morning toast.

Happy Friday.

It's a gloomy Friday in New York, but the weather looks like how we feel.

Hey, Claude, how you doing?

I'm good.

I haven't looked outside yet, but you know what?

I don't need to know.

I don't need the weather to tell me how to feel because I'm depressed.

This is just actually one of my favorite types of weather days because it doesn't cast too much light into my apartment and I can catch a vibe like more easily than when the sun is reflecting on my mirrored dresser and then it's poking me in the eye.

And it's just problematic.

So I just love a good cloud.

I love when it rains in quarantine.

I wonder if I'm the only one.

I feel like

that was a dark statement.

I like the weather.

It doesn't bring any light into my apartment.

Why?

Like, who needs brightness when you're not trying to do anything?

I agree.

It's just, it's facts, man.

Also, like when you're sleeping in, who wants the sunshine peering through the shades?

Do you have blackout shades i do but they don't encompass my whole window still so i still get little slivers which i like i wouldn't want my room to be completely black or else i would never wake up yeah i used to have blackout shades and it was bomb but my apartment now like you could see in the back they're sheer um i like it for like a few reasons but i don't like it for a few reasons as well yeah i think being able to wake up like like with the natural light is ideal but sometimes you just want it to be dark as hell totally especially if you have a migraine

Yeah, totally.

So are you auditioning for Pretty Little Liars today?

Is that what we're going for?

Yes, I'm auditioning for the role of the girl who hasn't washed her hair since Monday and she

didn't want to put

any pomade in it to make it more oily.

So she decided to cover her flyaways with her hood.

Very cool.

So you're auditioning for the role of A, whoever A may be.

I just saw a funny Pretty Little Liars TikTok.

I don't know if A had flyaways because she never took her

hood off, but you know who did sever from flyaways was Troy and Belisario.

And people tell me that I look like her.

So maybe I'm auditioning for Spencer.

Perhaps.

Also, maybe A like resorted to the hood in the first place because of the flyaways.

Maybe she was embarrassed.

Maybe she was so embarrassed.

I never watch a show, and I'm sure this is a loaded question, but like who ended up being A?

So I actually just saw a really funny TikTok about it last night about how like most shows, it's like mystery solution.

And then they did this whole like funny thing with all these different um things that happened along the way of like spencer's a spencer's twin is a like mona's a uh ezra's a it was really funny so i guess everyone has a little bit of a in them inspiring story

beautiful it's beautiful well we have a great show for you today because we have a lot to recap we're recapping real households of beverly hills kardashians and too hot to handle I finished the show yesterday.

It was really enjoyable.

It's like exactly my kind of show.

And I liked that it was so short.

They said that they were filming for a month, but that was not a month.

There was no way because like for the first few episodes, they just got there.

And then the last few episodes, it's like, there's only a few days left.

Right.

And I wasn't complaining, but

that's just, it is what it is, you know?

Yeah.

You can't lie to me.

You can't lie to me.

Also, we did something so fun yesterday.

And I don't say this often.

I say it sometimes, but not every time.

I think our most favorite Patreon video ever dropped yesterday.

People are loving it.

We did an All Steens on Deck Zoom happy hour and filmed it.

We took a lot of your questions, which I moderated.

It was just so funny.

I re-watched the first 10 minutes and I was laughing so hard.

It was like painfully funny because it was like painful.

So if you are looking for some extra premium content today, check that out: patreon.com/slash the morning toast.

It's just going to open up a world of content for you.

And I'm jealous of the experience you're about to have.

Yeah, no, it was really fun and it was like very sisterly.

Very, very sisterly.

Those sisters, they're, they're really something, you know?

Those crazy kids.

Crazy kids.

Okay, well, I mean, I don't have much else to say.

You know what I watched a little bit last night of the draft, the NFL draft?

Did you catch it?

No, Ben watching it a little bit.

I happened to be making dinner when it was turning eight o'clock.

So I was like, you know what?

I want to see how they're doing it.

And I thought it was so well done.

It was not sad at all.

It was really cool um espn just did a great job of like roger goodell's basement to the all the players some of the players had the hats of the teams they were going to join already so i thought it was really um a lesson in how to do these things virtually because i did not find it to be sad i thought it i thought it was like really cool use of of technology i'm so happy for the players you know if I thought it was going to be sad.

And if it's not, you're telling me it's not, then that's great.

That means everyone had a good time.

And that means we're getting better as a society.

We are once again striding towards betterness to, you know, turn out premium content because in the beginning of this quarantine, some of the shit I was seeing was a disgrace.

Disgrace.

And I mean, it wasn't, I'm sure it wasn't as great for them as if they had been in Sin City sitting it up, but it wasn't sad.

I can't like watch the NFL draft without thinking about the movie Draft Day, which is like really one of my favorite movies.

And every time like a player got picked or didn't get picked, I was just like, it's because they didn't go to his birthday party.

Because, you know, Kevin Costner knew, like, in order to be a teammate, like, you've got to throw down with the team.

And if the team doesn't want to throw down with you, you're not going to be a good teammate.

Yeah.

If you haven't seen the movie draft day, you need to watch it.

Like, it tells you everything you need to know about the NFL draft.

When I watch the draft, I always think like, I can't tell if these people know that they're getting picked or they don't.

Cause they're like never really surprised.

But Ben says that they don't really know for sure.

Yeah, because anything can happen on draft day.

And that's the moral of the story of the movie draft day.

It's like you think you know, you think you could be the best quarterback like in in the league, but no one came to your birthday party.

And Kevin Costner figured that out.

And you don't know that that's like a red flag for him.

Devastating.

If that were the case, then I would lose because nobody ever comes to my birthday parties.

Yeah.

No, you would, I don't know if Kevin Costner would pick you, but congrats to all the players who were drafted.

Fabulousness.

Looking forward to an exciting change.

Looking forward to an exciting future of football for you.

Joe Burrow, congrats.

Number one pick.

Yeah, Ben was talking about him like all night and he's hot.

Oh my God, I did something so funny last night that I should have filmed, but I didn't even think of it.

When Zach was like washing up for bed and I was laying in the bed, I was on Twitter and I saw all these like trending topics about who was picked, who wasn't picked, some of like the controversies.

And I was just like.

oh my god can you believe that like green bay drafted a quarterback when they have aaron rogers i was just quoting these headlines verbatim is that true he would say yeah no it was true but i was just like trying to have um an intellectual sports conversation with him.

He thought I was live streaming him, but I wasn't.

And it was really funny.

Devastating news for Aaron Rodgers.

Well, I mean, it's just like a little shade.

But see, crazy things are happening in the draft.

Makes you think.

Makes you think.

Also,

speaking of virtual content, I saw that Saturday Night Live is doing another like Saturday Night from Home.

And I don't really know why.

Yeah, I watched Walk to Robins Live last night.

And I know I came on here yesterday and was like raving about the episode with erica and megan mccain and maybe it's because megan mccain does like a virtual show every day she like knows when to speak it's really only speak when spoken to that's like how our patreon was last night um but something about last night's episode was so messy like wendy mclinton had the worst wi-fi connection she looked so blurry kept talking over everyone like it and then her and anti would both try to talk and they would be like

no you go like it was really bad really not good well you know what we don't watch a lot of these virtual at home shows but apparently that's something that a lot of people are struggling with, like talking over each other.

I watched both episodes of Watch What Happens Live because you raved about the other one.

And I did want to see Leah McSweeney.

And I liked them both.

I agree.

The quality was better.

Megan McCain is a pro.

The view has actually, you know what?

I watched a clip of The View.

an episode from last week or something and it was actually more enjoyable because the women are not able to talk over each other and you just hear one person at a time and i thought it was really good for them i read in the hollywood reporter for the first time in eight years the view has outbeat ellen in ratings

wow yeah pretty cool it's pretty cool i also watched um what did i watch virtually that i wanted to oh somebody posted a clip of um the seth meier show having john mulaney on he liked john mulany during quarantine is like started to watch real house size of new york and i guess i thought that would be like a funny bit now i understand that i maybe not like john John Mulaney has a very specific brand of comedy and people like die for him and admittedly like I don't really get the whole shtick but I think he's funny obviously this was like and someone posted in the toasters and people were like living for it and I literally never been more bored in my whole life.

They also were having problems with that.

And then like John Mulany thought he was being so funny about how housewives like makes him miss 71st and 3rd.

Like it was not funny.

Like if a if a male comedian is watching season one, Real Housewives of New York, like that is comedy gold.

Like there's so much there and I just like didn't think it was funny.

Like maybe it was the format.

I just wasn't into it.

He was like sitting in his kid's bedroom.

It was not good.

Okay.

Like, I should check it out, but I know that I won't, especially since you're saying it's not good.

Um, I'm all set.

I'd rather just watch Real House-wise because last night's episode was some of the greatest of all time.

Yeah, this week between Beverly Hills, Kardashians, New York, I don't really include pump rules because it's like turning into a bad show, but it's been really premium, like three out of three.

Yeah, I completely agree.

Okay, but I think it's time to just get into the the fast life stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

And that's true, Jackie, but I think I have something to say.

Is that okay with you?

Sure.

First story.

We're just going to get right into it, into an argument this morning because Taylor Swift is back on the IG story,

letting everyone know that Scooter and Big Machine are

hosting an album of hers without her permission.

This is what she said.

Hey guys, I want to thank my fans for making me aware that my former record label is putting out a quote album of live performances of mine tonight.

This recording is from a 2008 radio show performance I did when I was 18.

Big Machine has listed the date as a 2017 release, but they're actually releasing it tonight at midnight.

I'm always honest with you guys about this stuff, so I just wanted to tell you that this release is not approved by me.

It looks to me like Scooter Braun and his financial backers, 23 Capital, Alex Soros, and the Soros family, and the Carlisle Group, have seen the latest balance sheets and have realized that paying $330 million for my music wasn't exactly a wise choice and they need money.

Crying face, crying, laughing face.

In my opinion, just another case of shameless greed in the time of coronavirus so tasteless but very transparent wait i don't know why we're going to disagree i think this is hilarious

um what's hilarious about it well i think that it's like whenever taylor releases something like obviously her fans listen to it because they love her and they listen to it but it's also like you're showing it an act of support like you support you buy albums you stream like and so if something came out that people just assumed was taylor's album like they would buy stream support because it's hers.

But she just wanted everyone to know, like, I had absolutely nothing to do with this.

But I think everybody does know that anything that was like before the lover era that she had to part with when she left Big Machine, we all know that like they were thinking of doing re-release it, like that this could be done.

Like that was part of the deal, of the business deal that was made between them.

In 2020, like a new album comes out, like with Taylor's name on it.

Like not everyone would assume that Taylor didn't approve it.

No, but I think at this point, like we very much know that there is a break in her work and some people own one piece of it and she owns the other piece and when it comes to all that earlier stuff like she does not own that if if i heard a record of her singing on a 2008 radio station show like i'm like oh this has big machine written all over it well that also begs the question like

who thought that this was a good idea like let's say they are trying to like make money like use the stuff that they bought to generate some sort of revenue to make back the 330 mil like what radio performance is going to break the bank yeah i have no idea also i went to Spotify this morning.

I didn't see anything that was like recorded, like a new album by Taylor Swift.

So I wonder if they just

like stopped the project.

Yeah.

I mean, it's obvious what the point of her Instagram story was, because I'm sure if she hadn't posted anything, like it would have performed better in streams, in sales, than it would now that people know that like she doesn't approve it.

And she's basically in no,

she's not mincing words.

She's saying, don't buy it, don't stream it.

Like I didn't approve this.

And I'm hit for it.

Yeah.

but there is no album unless oh i don't know it was supposed she said they're releasing it tonight at midnight and nothing i didn't see any unless it's not on spotify but yeah i i mean i hadn't even heard of it like i haven't and i'm like you know in i have a tumbler like i'm in the taylor circuit um and i didn't see any rumors about an alleged album but i'm sure she did some research she don't she doesn't of course

yeah no oh i'm sure like there there was something happening, but maybe it's just not happening anymore, or maybe it's like postponed.

Do you think that $330 million was too much money to pay for her six albums?

I don't know how like music money works.

Me neither.

That seems like what she, honestly, I feel like her catalog would be worth even more than that.

You know, like, how do you make your money back on $330 million of songs that you bought?

Just like hoping people stream it?

No, like also getting songs in in commercials getting songs in movies you know uh just

yeah people still are buying albums etc re-releasing songs from a live show in 2008 like

yeah and they've been doing like a few shady things like they released like a limited edition vinyl of taylor's you know first single tim mcgraw which a lot of like real fans would genuinely want but the die hards didn't buy it because it's a big machine.

And then they also, I've actually, I listened to a Spotify playlist called

the Taylor Swift catalog, and they have like every album ever put out.

And that includes like weird albums.

And there's like a big machine release of Speak Now, where like Taylor talks to some woman at the beginning.

It's really annoying.

I don't know if that's new from the Big Machine drama or it existed before, but I've only recently noticed it.

Yeah, you know what I noticed on the quarantines playlist?

I think it's like a Brett Young album.

It says on the cover, like a big machine release, like it was something

different than the initial album release.

So maybe that's just something that they do yeah i just don't know the timeline of it but i i assume that was an opportunity to make money i just the music industry is so confusing especially with streaming and there are so many artists who are so rich but like taylor's rich obviously from her music but like from merch from tour from so much other stuff like i don't know how songs generate revenue, especially when Taylor still makes money on them because she's the songwriter on almost every song or every song.

So songwriters always make money no matter who the label is.

So So, I don't know.

It's very confusing.

Yeah, it is confusing.

But honestly, that 2008 live album sounds like really great right now.

I know.

I will, I will pirate it for sure.

That's totally the vibe I'm going for.

You know, like those are actually the songs that I have.

Um, like for the quarantine, it's like it's not like I have reputation songs that I'm listening to.

It's really like fearless, speak now.

Oh, yeah, of course.

I actually, um, I don't know whether it was like Taylor's Instagram story that like pushed me into this spiral last night where I watched um

Miss Americana documentary again.

I haven't seen it since we all saw it in theaters, and I actually had like such an appreciation.

I don't think I ever said thank you to Margo, who like in advance like bought tickets.

Like we had such a good night.

Like we got to see Miss Americana in theaters at iPick.

Like it was only like a 30-person theater.

So I needed to text her, thank you.

And I watched a documentary again and I totally forgot about that song Only the Young that she like wrote for the documentary.

It's a good

song.

Only the young.

Okay.

Are you ready for our next story?

Mm-hmm.

Because Ariana Grande is lashing out at degrading TikTok impersonators.

Oh my God.

There's two.

They come up on my fucking, this girl, Gabby, and that's the girl that was in the breakup with your boyfriend video.

So Ariana kind of like

gave in a little bit.

And then this other girl, Paige.

No, she's not really talking about just like the two big culprits.

This is what she posted and then, of course, deleted it because that's the RE way.

She said, oh my God, can this please?

please also double as your impression of the ponytail TikTok girls who think doing the cat Valentine voice and that wearing winged eyeliner and a sweatshirt is doing a good impersonation of me?

Because this really,

because this really how it feels, crying, sad emoji, like not laughing, sad.

quote degrading its entire value, I screamed.

So she was replying or like going off of this other

meme that's called like impressions of a meme,

which

was by a creator named Jordan Furstman that like degrade, this is what it said.

The video where he calls out meme creators who recontextualize and assign quote a completely arbitrary meaning to a moment the original creator quote loves so much, kind of like degrading its entire value.

Got it.

Okay, so it really sounds like Ariana is speaking directly to this girl, Paige.

Like she wears her hair permanently and Ari's high pony and she wears eyeliner and she does like little um voiceovers to Kat Kat from Victorious.

Like,

I'm on the moon.

Like, it's so

good.

Yeah, I know.

I've been watching one too many page videos, and all the comments are like, get your own identity.

And they're like, being so mean to this girl, but it's so illusory.

Yeah.

And I think also for Ariana Grande, like when it's like everyone's about to do an impression of her, and I feel like she's had a good

attitude about the sweatshirt hand impressions, like Ariana Grande at Thanksgiving, Ariana Grande washing her hands.

Like she can make fun of herself.

But like when every time someone goes to do an Ariana Grande impression, it's from a character from like 12 years ago who I don't think she relates to at all.

She's so much more than that.

Like truly she's a global pop star icon.

So I do think it is quote degrading its entire value when you just are like, oh, I'm Ariana Grande.

I'm going to be cat.

No, totally.

And wear like red, fiery red hair.

Yeah.

Totally.

I respect, I respect.

I just think, and I, but I understand why she, I understand why she's weird.

i understand why she said that but then i also understand why she deleted it because she's really only talking to like two people and they're just not worth her time no she's talking to two people and one of them has like the ariana grande seal of approval because ariana put her in that music video so uh the other is just like washed up and it's obviously about her

yeah um

that's really funny though i'm sure it gets so annoying for her

she weirdly sees everything about herself on the internet like

she is so famous.

She's got to put her phone away.

She's got to put her phone away.

She's got to put her phone away.

Like, how do her wrists not hurt like mine?

I feel like she's a small wristed girl.

Well, so yesterday I watched, I've been talking about my YouTube channel,

YouTube app on my TV, and it's been really inspirational.

And they've been suggesting new stuff for me, which is so nice.

Like they know what I want.

And yesterday I actually watched a three-hour One Love Manchester concert, which was like a weird and dark thing to do, but I don't remember ever seeing it in full.

And I just have to say, it was fabulous.

Like, it was really inspiring.

And, like, Ariana really put that show on her shoulders.

And she's like, so letal in so many ways, like, obviously, physical, but I just feel like she's like lethal in general.

And it was like a really brave thing for her to do.

And like, she literally carried the show.

Like, she literally came out with every single person, like, sang their songs, did her songs, and then, like, at the beginning of the show, the middle of the show, the end of the show.

And it was really fabulous.

And I just like forget about that moment in time where so many people like dropped what they were doing within a week's notice, like, showed up for this concert.

And like, it wasn't sad.

Like, they had a lot of stars.

Yeah.

No, it was amazing.

Yeah.

she's a great gal you know she is a great gal and then i was remembering like how we talk about her so much on the show but i don't really feel like because she's done so much since that awful thing happened but like that's so much a part of who she is and i feel like i don't give her enough grace given what she went through you know

yeah

so i'm gonna be a little bit more graceful and like she's been through even like so much more than that you know with yeah like mac miller and she's just she's one tough cookie and mac miller came out and performed and they performed the way together and then this other song.

And like, it was just so cute.

Like the whole concert was making me cry, like for more than one reason.

Right.

Oh my God.

That's really sweet.

Okay.

Okay, Ricky Gervais is slamming celebs just like we needed him to do, just like he's best at.

British funny man Ricky Gervais again lashed out at multi-millionaire celebs in a new interview for lecturing, quote, normal nobodies during the coronavirus outbreak.

He targeted the Wonder Woman actress Gal Godot and a crew of of other A-listers such as Will Farrell and Mark Ruffalo for their viral cover of John Legends Imagine.

He said on BBC Radio, quote, that Imagine video, it's not that bad.

They're probably very nice people.

It was an awful rendition, but they might have been doing it for good reasons, to help these normal nobodies.

But they're going, quote, my film's coming out, but I'm not on telly.

I need to be in the public eye.

Not all of them, but some of them.

You can see in their eye, you could see it in their eye, quote, I could cry at the beauty of my personality.

I'm just so beautiful for doing this.

And everyone sees that.

We get it.

So true.

And I feel like this is exactly what we were saying yesterday.

Like, someone could see this, what Ricky Gervais said as like a little hypocritical because he himself is a celebrity.

But to me, there's such a delineation between celebrities and comedians.

And comedians really are able to comment and like critique what's going on in the world from like a third-party perspective.

They kind of forget that they're like rich and famous sometimes.

And I love Ricky Gervais.

And that's the kind of energy he brought when he hosted the Golden Globes.

And that's the kind of energy he's always bringing, like a self-aware celebrity.

And that's a rarity.

That's like seeing a, you know, an exotic tiger.

Yeah.

He said, for start, you won't hear me complain, not when there's United Kingdom National Health Service nurses doing 14-hour shifts and frontline workers carrying on and risking their health.

I'm fine.

Don't worry about me.

I go for walks on Hampstead Heath and we've got a garden.

Ooh, garden sounds nice.

He said that privileged superstars don't have a right to preach to the general public during the crisis.

Hear, here.

Hear, here.

I love him.

I've just been loving him more and more.

Um, except for the advent of lying, but yeah.

But it must be nice for him because he's kind of

created this like space for himself where he really like doesn't get backlash because his whole shtick is like about backlash.

Yeah.

Must be nice.

Yeah.

Must be nice.

Okay.

Next story is like really crazy because Peter Krauss is back in the news and he's like explaining the whole situation of what happened when he was not the bachelor.

He went on Ben and Ashley I's podcast and did a wide-ranging interview and it's just spilling the tea.

So here's, here it is.

Peter said he rejected producers three times before flying out to LA for a quote formal discussion about becoming the bachelor.

Quote, I told the producers I had started to talk to someone and they said, are you guys in a relationship?

I said no.

And they said, would you be willing to leave that or exit that?

I wasn't sure.

It was really hard for me and I couldn't say I would for sure get in an engagement at the end of the show.

It wasn't that I knew for a fact that I didn't want to, it was more that I couldn't promise them that I would and I didn't want to be forced to do it if I said yes to the show.

When the topic of compensation came up, Peter remembered telling producers, quote, well, I make considerably more than that already per year.

Why would I give up the rest of my life of being Peter the Bachelor and no longer just Peter for the amount of money that isn't life-changing?

We all agreed it wouldn't make sense to pay a lot of money because you're no longer doing it for the right reasons at that point, he said.

He denied that the paycheck played a major factor in his decision, instead outlining a number of more personal changes he wanted to see come to fruition on the show.

This is interesting.

This is what he wanted if he was the bachelor that he didn't get.

Quote, I wanted to be able to spend more time with people individually.

I wanted to be able to just go into the house and see people in their natural habitat.

So that way it didn't feel like they were putting on a show for me.

It was more like, this is who you actually are when you're unsuspecting of where I'm at.

He also requested relationship counseling for myself and the top four or five girls during the process so that we could work things out on a deep level.

Then I wanted continued support for myself and that person that I chose after the fact because I saw the pressure that Brian and Rachel were put under and I thought it was extremely unfair.

He said that in the end, the producers could not compromise, but he has no regrets about the experience.

He is, however, still looking for answers as to why just days before filming began for Bachelor Winter Games, producers texted him and said he was no longer part of the cast.

He never found out why.

He guessed that it was because Ari was the bachelor at the time and because I was the guy that could have been the bachelor.

Maybe they just didn't want the conversation to be had.

They just wanted to nip it in the bud, which I get.

He also said he would not go on bachelor in paradise because the women from, who are coming up are just too young.

And he's looking to date someone over 30 and really like find a partner.

Interesting.

Kelly.

Kelly.

I mean, like, you know, when you're going through something like this, like in real time, all we wanted was answers.

Like, why, Peter, Prince who has promised, like, we wanted so much.

And now we're like literally being, it's like served up on a platter, all the answers.

And like, part of me just doesn't care.

Like, it's too little, too late like we've had so many seasons since the Peter debacle it's like I can't even be bothered to care but if I were to care what I would say was like Peter sounded like he was being like way too demanding like relax with your couples counseling and um like restructuring the whole show like at the end of the day it was probably all about money Peter didn't really want it but if someone offers me 500 grand all right I'll do it and no shade to Peter like money is important and so is your livelihood that you're leaving behind like you built this gym like you built this life in Wisconsin I totally respect it but I'm sure it mostly had to do with the money

I think it was probably everything like it doesn't seem like they could agree on one point also what's funny is we wanted all these answers but now reading this it's like oh it's exactly kind of what I thought like the vibe of like not wanting to get engaged like not like not

being enough money like just not enough incentive to even do this um but all this stuff about like couples counseling and wanting to spend more time with the girls it was like that's kind of crazy that that's really why he didn't do it like that that would be so important to him that that's how seriously he took this It's also funny how far we've come in a sense where like when Peter wanted to be the bachelor, not getting engaged was like not an option.

And now we like went off two consecutive seasons where nobody got engaged.

Well, it's kind of three because of Hannah and Jed.

They got engaged, but like, oh, yeah,

now it's like getting engaged is a rarity.

So Peter actually could have been a great bachelor.

I feel like he could still, I mean, look at Ari, you know, look at Nick Vile.

I feel like they could call on him for, look at Claire Crawley.

He could be the bachelor eventually and they'll pick women who are appropriate for him and that like could still be in the cards it could be because claire crawley is almost 40 right and so is peter yeah peter's 35 i think claire's 35 or 36 cute

yeah cute i mean i just i still love him like of course he's he's just so great He's the prince who was promised.

I just like can't believe that he really just went back to life.

Like nothing ever happened he's like one of the few people who have like acted like fame wasn't what they want and they were just like nominated for the show by a friend and he's like the only person after bachelor fame like who has proven to me that he was really not there for the fame and was genuinely nominated by a friend yeah like

like everyone says that and then they're making tick tock house crews you know a hundred percent Yeah, or sometimes you can't help like, oh my God, I have all these Instagram followers.

I need to sell tea.

Like I need to sell this.

Like I'm going to make all this money.

Oh, wow.

I'm making all this money from Instagram.

Why would I keep my job where I work so hard and I don't make money?

So, like, you kind of stumble into it.

So, it's not even like you're a good or a bad person for doing that.

But he just said no to all of it.

All of it.

He's a cool dude.

Okay.

Fifth and final story.

Just like a little Kardashian news before we get into our recap.

Kanye West took his kids to Wyoming to let Kim Kardashian have a break, says a source.

So

they have been taking turns caring for the kids.

A source is telling People magazine about how the Kardashian Wests are going through quarantine.

If setting to become a lawyer and running multiple businesses wasn't already a full plate, KKW has also been raising her four kids while practicing social distancing indoors.

The reality star and her husband, Kanye, have been alternating family responsibilities for their children, according to a source who tells people, quote, it's a huge chaos with all their kids at home.

Quote, Kanye escapes to his office for a work break.

He also let Kim have a break last week when he took some of the kids to Wyoming.

They have been taking turns caring for the kids.

I feel like some people might think that this is weird, that they're not really all quarantined together as a family, but I think it's genius.

Yeah, I'm curious if they have live-in staff who they let go home.

Like I know they have multiple nannies.

Are they working?

I think that some families who have staff or nannies, like I don't think everyone is working, but they're definitely not doing it completely alone.

Like if they live in, if they're living in the house,

they might just still be working.

Yeah.

and I don't think that's against like protocol for social distancing.

Like if you have a live-in staff, like they can stay.

Yeah, as long as they hadn't left and came back.

But if everyone quarantined together, like then we're just quarantining as a family.

Right.

Yeah.

Hold on.

I need to yell at my husband to stop coughing.

Okay.

Sweet.

Is he a little bit?

Sorry about that.

Always with

all night last night.

It was just fucking drives me nuts.

I'm cracking.

Yeah.

I understand.

I understand.

Well, that's why, like, you could have been like him and Kanye and

quarantined separately in separate states, switching off with the kids.

Like, you take Theo for one week.

Oh, my God.

Precious angel man.

Love you, boy.

I miss him so much.

That's what the show has been missing.

He's in the love sack.

That's what the show has been missing.

Like our third co-host.

He used to be there every day, snoring through every story.

And now it's just the two of us.

Hi, Angel.

Hi, Theodora.

He turned around for the show.

He needs a bath.

That's what I'm going to do right after this.

He went out for the rain.

He looks a little.

He looks a little.

Ben texted me.

Sorry.

I was choking.

Don't do it again.

Come for you.

I just love the Kardashians.

Like, I just, I'm so happy for them.

Like, I just hope they're quarantining okay.

I thought last night's episode was great.

It's fabulous.

Yeah, I think it's, it's so, it's nice if you can get it, you know, like a farm gemin vibe and a calabasis vibe.

Keeping up with the Kardashians.

It was the birthday week.

I always forget there's like always like a month where like there's a cluster of events with like a million parties and it seems like the Kardashians are everywhere and then they like disappear and do it all again a year later.

And I guess that happens in November, the end of October, early November, because we started with Kendall's party and just they weren't like really filming.

They were just like showing all the rich people who were there.

But what I did find fascinating was that Kylie threw the whole party for Kendall, which I'm assuming means she paid for it.

Yeah, but also Kylie just has like an imagination about her where she's just capable of throwing fabulous parties that other people don't seem capable of doing.

Right, like having cocktail waitresses dressed as Kendall from the Met Gala, like inspired.

Inspired.

I like that they showed us like a little bit of the party.

I didn't expect, you know, to get like confessionals from Haley Bieber,

but.

It was cool to be there.

I loved this episode.

Like it had everything and very little Courtney, which was just what made it so great.

Like even Chloe's egg freezing journey, which feels like, you know, a contrived storyline, but I definitely do think she's freezing her eggs.

And this is something that's very top of mind for her.

And I love that like Tristan is her sperm donor.

I think they're like the way that they're communicating and co-parenting is so cute.

And I do have a little bit of a ship for them.

Yeah.

I didn't think it was a contrived storyline.

I just definitely felt like they put so much content about it in this episode, probably due to the fact that Chloe's like one of the only sisters who actually fucking films.

So like they had no choice but to include it.

But it was like a little, it was just a little much.

Like there was just a lot of it in the episode.

But I like Chloe and I'm happy for her.

And like, I'm glad she's getting her fertility health in check yeah and i'm glad that she has options and like that she can has can do what she want and make the choice that she wants to make that she thinks is best for her family um i love that they planned that birthday for corey i thought that that was so nice i love corey like he i think he's so great i think he's the perfect like step dad guy for them and i did did we ever see that fight at that restaurant where he said like i'm not your dad like i'm more of your peer so it's kind of yes yes that was so uncomfortable i barely remember it yeah there's always been there's been a few episodes with like weirdness with corey with like the kid smacking thing and they never really like come to a conclusion so i don't know if they don't like corey but i think there's definitely like a separation in chris's life like he doesn't come to every meal like most partners do so but i feel like

These days, I feel like right now in present time, I think things are really good.

Like remember before the queue, like Kylie was out with Corey and her friends all the time.

Like Corey was always taking them places.

I think Kylie really likes Corey.

I think the girls are probably just more skeptical of him because he's their age.

How would you feel if your mom was dating someone your age?

Yeah.

And do you feel my call?

Like when I was watching him on the plane, he, it's like, you know how like you start to look like the person you're dating?

He has like started to age himself.

Like he's a little bit of a dad bod, like a gray beard, and he was just like sitting with his tequila.

And I'm like, you know what?

You actually look like an age-appropriate man for Chris Jenner right now.

I thought the same thing at a different point when they were like in Napa.

I was just like, he's getting older and more like her age.

He's embracing it where I feel like maybe normally he would like shave his beard if it's turning gray.

But I think he just wants to look more Chris Jenner's speed and it's working.

Yeah.

No, I think everything about them is working.

Maybe there's like there must be if the girls don't like him, there's obviously stuff that we don't see.

But I just want Chris to be happy.

She deserves it like after her lifetime of everything that she's been through.

And this is it for her.

So I'm glad that the girls

did something and surprised him.

But it was like really sad when they weren't invited to the dinner because like Chris probably assumed that they wouldn't want to be there.

And then it was like too little, too late.

But it made me really want to go to Napa.

I mean, also, I think this show is so great.

Obviously, like we love them.

We love their family, blah, blah, blah.

Like it's so glamorous.

But I think like just the way that they spend their money, it like just makes everyone like so eager to just give them all of our money.

It's like, wow, you're living the life that you dream.

Yeah, that trip to Napa looked so fun.

And you could tell Chris was so happy.

Like, obviously she gets drunk at at any winery, but I just really felt like she was like, so happy that, like, it's obviously something that's like been an issue.

And it was like finally coming together.

And it was like her kids and her boyfriend.

Like, she just looked like she was happy and having so much fun.

I didn't really know why Courtney came.

She was going to like sulk the whole time, but I was glad that she was there because Kim doesn't drink.

And like, that's like the one thing I just like can't with Kim.

So I was glad Chloe had someone to drink with.

Yeah.

And Chris.

Yeah.

And Kim flew, I think, straight from Sonoma to Houston for the Rodney Reid meeting, meeting, which that whole thing, I can't believe they got so much of it on camera.

Like it's such a historic moment.

Like, I just, I thought it was fabulous.

I love the way Kim looked.

And when they went to McDonald's, oh my God, that was literally the best moment ever.

Like those girls behind the.

the window were so cute and like screaming.

And I love how they knew that there was someone famous in the back seat.

Well, so you could see like, first of all, I think the windows were very tinted.

I think in the two front seats were like security guard looking people.

I think it's really a quiet McDonald's in Houston.

They probably don't get escalades coming through.

And by the way, there was probably more than one escalate because you have the camera crew.

And like, they probably just saw this motorcade and were like, oh, there's definitely someone famous in there.

When the window rolled down, and there was like a pause, and then they freaked out.

I think that was the best moment of reality television I've ever seen in my life.

It was so pure.

And like him just wanting an Oreo McFlurry extra Oreos, like after coming off of like saving someone's life, it was just like the best thing I've ever seen.

Like my heart was full and warm.

That's the thing it really highlighted like the

what's the word like

the

the diversity not diversity but it's like kim does it all like she goes to mcdonald's she meets the fans she goes to court she goes to the white house she's in law school like it was just like a full circle moment of all things kim and she was like so cute and you know it says a lot about and that was like a lot of um the topic in armenia like how you interact with your fans like says a lot about you and i have now fallen into an algorithm on tick tock because i guess i like watched and liked a few videos of like celebrities being mean to fans and it's literally all that comes up on my TikTok now and I kind of love it because it's really interesting to see like who

takes the time to like stop talk and take a picture and who doesn't and I just thought Kim was so gracious like and I expected nothing less She is so gracious.

And I feel like, I'm sure sometimes like in Armenia, like it's not ideal to be meeting the fans all the time, but I think she got so much out of that exchange, like as much as those girls did who are like taking pictures.

That was so cute.

And I feel like another celebrity just might have been like, don't roll down the window, like say no one's in here you know like but she's just so sweet she's just sweet as sugar she's sweet as sugar and like that little high pony hair moment was so cute um then we get back to calabasis and what happens more fertility stuff it was actually feel like i was learning a lot like you can only see the fertility of an egg once it's made into an embryo but then i was thinking like obviously just make it into an embryo like you have tristan but then remember that whole court drama with sophia vergara where her and her ex-husband like had embryos and he literally like sued her for them and he was going to be able to like have a baby with her without her actual permission and then that made me think like you never know what's going to happen with Tristan like don't make an embryo no but it sounds like she's thought of all legal possibilities and she's making him sign paperwork that says these are not your eggs these are my embryos you are not the father you are a sperm donor and he's just like okay yeah it's like obvious that he's desperate to just get back with her like whether that means having to have another kid or just like do whatever and part of me really likes him and like thinks he's kind of pathetic in all the ways that he just tries so hard but then like once i'm thinking of him as pathetic, an image flashes into my mind of him trying to make out with Jordan Woods.

And then I feel like he's less pathetic.

Yeah, no, it's bad.

But you know what?

It's like, these are True's mom and dad.

And like, if True's going to have a sibling and Chloe needs sperm, like, and Chloe's not in a relationship with someone else, like, then I completely understand why she's doing what she's doing.

Yeah.

And I respect Chloe's decision to want True to have the same parents as her sibling or True's your sibling.

Yeah, but I think like that Sophia Vergara situation can happen because Chloe is making him sign all of the paperwork.

But it's a cautionary tale to women everywhere.

Yeah, that was really crazy.

Anything else that happened this episode?

We got a little bit of Rob.

Oh, yes.

He looked good.

Yeah, he's like really cute.

And you can tell like everyone is so happy.

Also, we got to see Kim plan Chris's birthday surprise.

And it was just the cutest thing.

It was the cutest thing when we saw it on Instagram.

And we didn't get much more than we already saw.

But we got a reminder that Kim is a precious gem and she's sweet as sugar.

And it was really such a great episode.

And I saw a headline this morning that was like so annoying that was like, Courtney makes her return to Kim Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

I was like, it was two episodes.

It's really interesting to see how Courtney acts when she's on camera, but not filming.

So she wasn't really

like mic'd or anything at Chris's birthday party.

And she just like has this like mug on her face.

Like Like she's always like disappointed.

And even when everyone was like crying and like joyful with the wallpaper, she literally just had this like smug.

Like she's just so unhappy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But I'm glad that we're just seeing less of it.

I thought it was such a good, good episode, like really so enjoyable.

Me too.

It had it all.

It had it all.

Speaking of enjoyable episodes,

Real House Eyes of New York.

Yes, Real House Eyes of New York.

We finished up the the night in the Hamptons with Ramona at Ramona's house.

And honestly, like for a housewives fan who's had to deal with like Ramona's abhorrent behavior, particularly in other people's houses for years.

And I realized like Ramona's had this house in the Hamptons forever, but she's never had all the women over.

Like she had Sonia come like a million times, like sometimes during the stays, but she's never had like a formal weekend at her house where the cameramen were always at, you know?

And I kind of know why, because she's such a poor house guest.

Like imagine how people would would be in her house.

And we got to see all the women, like be the worst version of themselves in Ramona's house.

And like, to be honest, like, it's retribution.

Like, I understand she was upset.

And if it was anyone else, I would have agreed with her.

Like, look what they did to her house.

Like, there's a champagne bottle in the pool.

But you know what?

Like, sorry.

Remember when you ripped the paint off of Dorinda's fucking sconces?

Yeah, but also they didn't like do permanent damage.

So there was a lot of dirty dishes.

There was tiki torches everywhere, champagne bottles in the pool, maybe some broken glasses.

But like you threw a party at your house.

That is what happens.

Like also also, you left.

So, you're just leaving people to do whatever they want.

She left when, after the girls were naked in the pool, like, she knew that it was becoming a frat house, and she just like left them to their own devices.

What, you think these girls who are so drunk and rowdy are going to start cleaning for you?

Yeah, and you know what?

Even if they weren't drunk and rowdy and like they were just having a nice evening, you left and there was like a whole dinner party to clean up.

Where was, didn't she hire help?

Yeah, or if it's everywhere.

If it's important for you to have a clean kitchen and and that the dishes are done in the morning, like then higher health, like Dorinda said.

Yeah, like Ramona's expectations of everyone and the way she was talking to everyone, specifically Leah, because she's like the new girl and she's younger than Ramona.

And I think Ramona feels like she can talk to her, like she talks to Avery.

Like it was just so disrespectful.

And I just didn't understand what her expectations were.

Like you put out this feast for 15 people and you didn't keep the housekeeper.

So like, who did you think was going to clean it up?

Yeah, she thought that the girls were, she thought that they work for her, like because they should be so grateful that they're staying in her house, that they're also like

housekeeping.

Gonna put in sweat equity.

Yeah.

I want to talk about the party at work.

It wasn't a party.

It was just a girl hangout where Leah showed us her drunk self and it was so fucking funny.

I was literally like shook, laughing.

Like, I couldn't believe that they, one, they all jumped in the pool butt naked.

I can't believe that Leah got Tinsley to be butt naked.

The throwing of the tiki torches,

the screaming in the kitchen.

Like it was so funny.

And obviously, like, I'm curious to see what happens next week, like, because, you know, some apologies are going to have to be made, but it was just crazy.

Like, Leah is so, like, I understand why she chooses not to drink sometimes.

I mean, in given the environment she was in, like, I didn't think she was being that crazy.

I guess there isn't that much she could have done.

just sitting in someone's house in the Hamptons, but like she was a little loud and annoying, but like, I didn't think it was that bad.

Like, she was on the same level as Sonia.

No, I didn't even think she was annoying.

Like, I thought she was genuinely hilarious.

The only thing that she'll have to apologize for is like she was really going in on like Sonia and Tinsley and Mortimer and Morgan.

And she said on Watch What Happens Live last night that like she was just getting to know these girls.

She didn't understand like all of that history stuff that there is with them.

So now she doesn't feel that way, but then she did.

So I just feel like the next day, like you're judging someone so hard based on their name, the way they, and she doesn't like to be judged either.

So that's the only thing she needs to apologize for.

Like everything else, it looked like the best night ever.

totally and like honestly i feel like her and sonia next week like get more and more further apart from being friends when i actually feel like they could be really good friends yeah but i think they're just like caught up on these like preconceived notions of one another that eventually they will knock down when they were juxtaposing between the conversation going on in the kitchen with dorinda and john and ramona and i was just like could not be less interested when outside there was like the best party ever happening it was just like

it was really frustrating to like what anytime you went back in the kitchen i I don't even know what was said because I was just like, do you not know what's going on outside?

Get in the pool.

Yeah, Ramona was basically saying that she knows many people who have gotten John to ask for their phone numbers, even though John's in a relationship and these girls weren't in a relationship.

And it's just annoying because now we know that Dorinda and John are not together.

So Ramona like probably feels vindicated.

But what she said was like fucked up and mean, especially when like Dorinda wasn't being combative at all.

Like it was literally just out of left field.

Yeah.

totally.

Luanne is just like getting less and less interesting.

I do think it'll be fascinating to see her journey back to drinking because I, and I've said this before this season, I didn't really think she was an alcoholic.

I think she was someone who got in trouble for alcohol and like gotten put in timeout and was like having, as I would too, I would have a hard time being in timeout also if all my job revolves around doing cabaret, filming a TV show where all the women drink.

So I don't think that she's an alcoholic, but I get what she means.

Like it's been a long time, like just, you don't know what the timing is supposed to be like.

Yeah.

And like she's doing so well in her, in her life.

It's like, do you want to bring in that variable?

It's probably, yeah, it's probably nerve-wracking, but eventually we know that she does.

Yeah, but she's boring right now.

So she, her, like, she's not cutting it.

Like, and not that I want to say like only drunk Luann used to cut it, but like she used to be like funny and dramatic.

And now she's just boring.

I just think she thinks maybe that she's like the new Bethany.

And Bethany used to, you know, come for the day, sleep at her own house, do her own thing.

And it wasn't like Bethany was getting crazy drunk.

So I think she just thinks she doesn't have to work as hard and that people will just want to see her because she's Luanne Deliseps and she's Cabaret and she all she needs to do is show up.

But that's just not the case for her.

No, I don't think that it is.

I just love Leah.

And we're, I feel like I'm learning so much about her.

Like last night's episode and then after watching Megan McCain talk about her, like it's obvious that she's like super woke.

So like her and the tiki torches, which is like obvious cultural appropriation, like she was not into.

I just

said on Watch What Happens Live, she was so mad about the tiki torches and she thought it was obvious.

And Wendy McClenn didn't, the boy agreed with her, but andy didn't know and i didn't know either that it's like a symbol of charlottesville and like the white supremacists were using tiki torches and so like that's why she like was so angry about them oh i just assumed it was like hawaiian cultural appropriation no it was about charlottesville oh that's not obvious at all

I mean, to two of them, it was, and then to other people, it wasn't.

But then I googled it immediately.

And it's like very much a prominent thing.

And I think also in like her drunk state, that's all she saw.

You know, that just sucks because tiki torches are a really effective way to like light up a backyard like just just outside the symbolism like when you think about it and like you're in a dark like backyard and you don't have electricity like it really is a fabulous way to like light up a spark yeah and i think that also when i was like doing some research about tiki torches i think they help with mosquito repelling so that's like another added bonus Yeah, that sucks.

I can't say that if I ever have a backyard, I won't be using tiki torches because they are just so effective, but I will know the symbolism behind it and I will disagree with that completely.

Yeah, totally.

Okay.

Anything else on Rahoni?

No, just fabulousness oozing.

It was good.

Like I had a lot of skepticism about the season, especially given the first episode and comparing it with the first episode of Beverly Hills, which was like stellar, but I'm feeling good.

Yeah, I'm feeling good too.

I loved this episode.

I thought it was like bat shit crazy.

It was.

It was great.

It was like now Leah's like full-blown housewife cast member.

I love her so much.

Me too.

We're going to talk about Two Out to Handle, Handle, which is brought to you by OKCupid very appropriately.

If you haven't heard about OK Cupid yet, we're here to tell you why you should give it a shot in 2020.

What a lot of people don't know about OKCupid is that they have really changed the game by asking you the most thoughtful questions so that they can learn more about who you are and what type of person you're looking for.

The more questions you answer, the better they are at finding you matches you have something in common with.

Some of my favorite questions from the OKCupid dating profile are about how long do you want your next relationship to last?

How do you feel about the 2020 election?

Are you a cat person, a dog person?

Do you listen to podcasts?

Are you a toaster?

toaster?

And OkiCupid actually works.

It's the most mentioned dating app in the New York Times wedding section, which is a fabulous statistic.

OkieCupid is the only app in the world that can match you on a range of issues that you care about, from whether or not you're a dog or a cat person to how you feel about climate change.

Stop the bindless time on dating apps and go to the app where you choose what matters.

OkeyCupid is free, so we don't have a code or URL for you guys.

Just download OkieCupid today, go on a great date this week, and then tell us about the great person you met.

We'll come to the wedding and I'll obviously sing and become ordained and officiate.

Two ought to handle.

So last we spoke, spoke, you were like hating Harry and you didn't feel any particular way about Chloe.

Now having finished, I would love to hear your thoughts on both those characters.

So I think that Harry really grew throughout the process.

He matured a little bit.

And I, by the end, obviously, I completely ship him and Francesca, but I would ship anyone with Francesca because I'm obsessed with her, her personality, her looks.

Like she is just one of, she's just an it girl, you know, she just has it.

Like the show, the entire show revolved around her.

And like she was, she wasn't even trying to be involved, you know?

No, I actually heard that she was right after the show.

She was put in the hospital for chronic back pain from putting the entire show on her back.

Yeah, exactly.

So when she like wanted to be with Harry, then I was fine with him.

And you could see that he grew.

And like, but the thing is, like, he really did throw her under the bus in that first episode.

Like, there was no, there was no, like, he said, she said, it was like.

He like, we have the footage.

It was completely him.

He threw her under the bus.

Like, nobody, that would have, nobody believed her.

That would have really pissed me off.

So like, I was kind of annoyed that, like, they just skimmed over it, you know, but I'm sure they dealt with it since.

And she has posted on Instagram.

They are still together.

So

there are a lot of people who think that they're married because this show was filmed in April 2019.

And there's like a picture going around of him and Francesca like eating lunch and he's wearing a wedding ring like on that finger and it's like a silver band.

I don't think that they're married, but it's not the craziest thing because, you know, I actually, when I, when the show ended, I'm like, he definitely like grew up a little bit, but like he'll go home and like go back to his fuckboy ways and like this eventually obviously won't work out because he lives in Australia.

But he moved to LA.

She still lives in Vancouver, but that's obviously like a better commute.

And I really feel like the show works for him because he's now been in a two-year relationship.

Oh, no, one-year relationship.

Also, like, she's the most beautiful girl like I've ever seen.

And it's cool to see like an Instagram girl on TV.

And it's like, wow, she really looks like that.

Like she, from every single angle, like no makeup, makeup.

Like she is just so stunning.

So I feel like once he's like dating her, like, and he goes out and say he's like tempted, like, what other girl is going to look any better than her, you know?

And I just love how much time she and Haley like just spent in that makeup room.

Like that's every time she was filming a scene, Francesca was in that room, like doing her makeup.

And I think that's the only room with air conditioning.

That was just the vibe that I got.

And I would have stayed in there the whole time.

I really liked Haley, even though she was totally grumpy cat.

Like she just like,

what?

Me too.

Yeah, I wish, but I was glad that she wanted to leave and then she left.

Like, obviously there was nothing there for her.

Someone who really took up time and space on the island was Matthew Jesus.

Like,

who were you going to say?

Nicole.

She made it till the end without ever kissing or having a single connection and not being funny or interesting at all.

She didn't deserve the money.

Like, that's bullshit.

Why,

why didn't she, like, have any sort of connection with anyone?

Because nobody, by the way, no one was interested in her.

And that's fine.

But like when the last, second to last episode, when Lana came on and sent home Corey Corey and Madison, she should have sent home Nicole and she should have sent home Bryce.

Yeah, but like, I guess they did, they did try in this process, but like it's not their fault that or their person wasn't there for them, you know?

And like, I feel like Nicole made a lot of really good, I think she was everyone's friend.

I think they would have been really sad.

Also, it's the difference of a few thousand dollars.

Like the whole thing at the end was so stupid.

It was a letdown.

Like the money was such a big deal in the beginning.

And then towards the end, when they got like less and less money and then were realizing more people were coming, they were splitting it.

Like, at the end of the day, it wasn't enough money to keep people from doing stuff.

And the attitude of everyone in the house went down.

Like, when fucking Chloe kissed Corey, like, they had no connection, like, he was brand new, and she just like kissed him because she was horny.

Like, everyone was like, It's fine, it's cute.

But, like, when Francesca is like actually dealing with real feelings between Kells and Harry, like, she's the devil.

Like, anytime she did something, people were so rude.

But then, like, Sharon and Rhonda did it, and they were like, Oh, it's so cute.

And I just want to say, sorry, Sharon, your name is Sharon.

No, here's the thing: When Sharon and Irana do it, it is cute.

But like, there was one kiss that Chloe had, I think it was with Bryce, that was never even mentioned by Lana.

Like, it was like, she's so irrelevant that she didn't even care to get like roasted by the group.

Chloe was annoying.

She didn't bother me as much as she bothers you for some reason.

She didn't bother me, but like the fact that she's everyone's favorite, like that's what bothers me.

And that would, that's what I know, she's not.

Look at the Instagram follower.

She's not everyone's favorite.

Oh, that's true, but Francesca did have a leg up because she said she had like 400,000 followers before she started.

But yes, I agree.

She's at 2 million.

Oh, but she's at 2 million.

And when you check Chloe, Chloe's at 500,000.

I just thought Chloe was so annoying.

Think of me, none.

Think of me.

Like, I just, I just thought she was so annoying.

And she was always on the wrong side of history.

Like when she was fucking coming for Francesca for going on a date with Corey, like, what the fuck does Francesca owe you, bitch?

Yeah, I mean, that guy, Corey, was like such a loser.

To be honest, that group of three people that that came on the boat was like, honestly, a boat straight from Loser Island.

They came on the loser cruiser.

Except Layla.

What was her name?

Lydia?

Lydia.

Lydia.

Yeah.

She was, I mean, I don't know much about her, but I just know she's a woman of taste because David is the finest catch on the island.

I couldn't believe David was having such a hard time.

Like Ronda turned him down.

Chloe turned him down.

I just couldn't believe like he's actually like.

Immediately, once he found out what the show was about, like he really pivoted into maybe trying to like dive deeper.

He didn't need any, you know, um, convincing to like start this journey like Harry did and Sharon did.

Like, he just immediately dove headfirst and like no one liked him, and like he couldn't catch a break.

And then he ends up with like Lydia massaging his ass, which was fine, but he didn't, he didn't find that deeper connection, and that made me sad.

Yeah, that made me sad too.

But I'm sure, I think he had a good time, and

I don't know.

Um, so overall, I liked the show.

I thought the premise was like a little stupid and not really fine-tuned enough.

And I don't know how they would do a season two because, like, everyone now knows the rules that it's like a sexless island.

But I really liked like the cat, the initial first cast.

But it was without Francesca, the show is nothing.

I totally agree.

Are Sharon and Rhonda still together?

They have been posted on Instagram.

I have no idea, but there was an embargo on everyone's social media since yesterday.

So last night at 12

a.m.

is when

Francesca and Harry first posted because they weren't allowed to post literally until Wednesday of this week.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Yeah.

I don't know, we still together.

And I liked that it was international too, because it added an element like in Love is Blind, like it made it so easy for everyone.

Like if we were to be together, we live down the street.

Like it added a level of like seriousness to it.

But justice for Kelse.

But I also don't think the show was meant to form like lasting relationships.

I don't think that's what they were interested in doing.

It was more so like putting temptation in front of people and seeing if they could go without it and then just like going home to their regular lives.

Like it's not like Love is Blind is like we want marriages.

Same with The Bachelor.

But this isn't a show about love.

It's just a show about like temptation.

I was curious how they were monitoring whether people were masturbating in the shower.

Yeah, I feel like there were definitely ways that people could get away with that.

Yeah.

Because like, I don't think it's believable that like not one person masturbated the entire time.

Um, cause Lana never called them out.

The sleeping arrangements were very strange, like how there was only one room for boys and girls and there wasn't even enough enough beds.

Like, people were double bunking.

I saw at one scene, Bryce was sleeping on the floor.

Yeah, that's kind of like in Love Island.

So, basically, I think a lot of the show is modeled after Love Island.

Um, but one of the things is that basically every week you pick your partner for the week.

Um, it's the person that you obviously have feelings for.

Um, sometimes it's just friendships, but you have to sleep in the bed with that person every night.

So, I think they just like did Love Island bunks, like one bed for every two people.

I think some people probably wanted to sleep alone, and therefore, Bryce was on the floor.

Also, at one point, there was more than 10 people there.

So

I don't know.

Interesting.

Okay.

I liked it.

I don't know if we'll get another season because it was like one of those social experiment vibe type things, but I thought it was good.

And now I follow Francesca on Instagram.

I follow her too.

And I thought it was good.

It was like I, it was yesterday was the first day in quarantine that I just like watched TV right after the toast and just spent the day watching TV.

And it was really enjoyable.

This weekend, I think I'm finally going to watch Money Heist season four.

I've been like saving it to have something to look forward to, but I think this weekend is the weekend.

Money Heist is really good.

If you've never watched, I'd recommend.

Not my vibe.

I'm just probably going to peruse YouTube for things I've already seen.

Yeah, no, I wasn't saying if you've never watched, I was saying to the toasters.

Sorry.

I know better.

Like, I would not suggest that for you.

You wouldn't like it.
