S3 Ep68: The Fast Four: Thursday, April 16th, 2020

Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the morning toast, the morning Zoom.

We are here virtually live with you in spirit and in audio and video.

Hey, Claude.

Hey, guys.

Hope everyone's doing well.

Happy Thursday.

Happy last day of Passover.

I went on a majeure shopping spree yesterday in anticipation of all the delicious snacks that have leavened bread that I'm going to eat today.

First up, cookie dough.

Do I have an oven?

No, but I have a toaster oven.

And I read on the internet that you can make um cookies in the toaster oven and then i also got pizza bagels and then i got tacos i'm just like having a fiesta tonight amid us cheetahs friends for life

oh my god that sounds so so fabulous i'm so excited for passover to break i have a home chef meal that i was about to make the night before passover started um but then i i forgot to make it and then it was passover it's like a deconstructed lasagna you were making fun of me for it um and i hope the ingredients are still i hope the ingredients are still fresh because I'm going to be making that tonight.

And I'm also recording a Patreon Day in the Life of Quarantine with me.

So you guys will get to see whatever I decide to break my Passover fast on.

The whole point of a lasagna is to be constructed.

So

the sense of a deconstructed lasagna makes no sense today.

I mean, here you are just like yucking my yums and I'm excited about it and you just can't be excited for me and that hurts.

No, I'm excited for you.

I just like can't get behind who's ever like like whatever somalier like chef that hello fresh hired to like come up with these like brand new like young fresh ingredients like i just can't get behind his idea like thinking that deconstructed lasagna was like a smart choice you know what it is actually they try and make dishes that you can make with like they expect that you don't have every single pan and casserole dish in your thing and lasagna you need that dish that i don't have you what is it called where it's like a clear casserole dish casserole dish i don't have that so if they gave me a lasagna i wouldn't be able to make it They made it so that I can make it in my pans, which is very thoughtful because it's for the amateur chef.

Jackie, that's beautiful.

Thank you, Claudia.

I put my heart into it.

Okay, if anyone ever gets to see my comedy special, you will understand all these weird references.

You know what's so funny is I was reading, I was up all night.

This quarantine, like I cannot fucking sleep.

You were reading?

No.

Oh, sorry.

I was reading Facebook posts

in the group and in Tipsy toasters.

Someone commented like a day ago, and like literally there was one comment, but she was like, Does anyone else feel like Claudia and Jackie have changed?

And like in the past few weeks,

some girl was like, What do you mean?

She's like, I just feel like there's a level to the show that, like, I don't understand anymore.

Like, so many inside jokes.

And I feel like a lot of that has to do with us quoting my comedy special because nobody's seen it, but like, we know

that's beautiful.

Um, so, and I've actually been getting a lot of questions like about Steeny Lexicon.

And I think maybe it might behoove us to do like a podcast segment where we take questions like explaining what people aren't understanding.

Okay, I could do that.

Maybe we'll do that.

No, tomorrow we have like so much to recap.

Maybe we'll do that on like a Tuesday, you know, Tuesday.

A mundane Wednesday.

Well, Wednesday's steer toasters and yesterday's steer toasters

had me crying.

I literally was up in bed putting it on my TV, making Ben watch the Carlos Santana thing.

Oh my God, it's so funny.

It's so funny.

I feel that.

Well, I'm glad that that's how we changed just because we're getting even more like into our own inside jokes and not just like, you know, the fame has gone to our heads, like all this.

You would love to say that too.

Well, literally, I was up all night just like reading stuff about myself.

That's what I do when I can't sleep.

And then like anxiety.

And then like, I can't sleep anymore.

I almost got to a point, almost, where I was on Reddit.

Okay.

Oh my God.

Why were you doing that?

I just couldn't sleep.

And like.

there was like it was such it was dry on the internet like there was nothing for me to really look at on instagram and ben was asleep So I couldn't watch TikToks.

And then I was just like searching like Twitter and stuff.

And then I was like, oh,

maybe if I just press this,

I was just looking for something stimulating and I wasn't finding it.

And like talk, like hearing what people have to say about me

is often quite stimulating.

Interesting.

Well, did anyone say anything about me?

No, I didn't go there.

Oh, okay.

Cool.

But it's actually been a year since I've like went down that rabbit hole.

And it's like really hard for me like to come out of it.

So I really purposely like try not to let myself go to places like that.

And I almost like had a slip up, but I didn't.

I'm good.

Oh my God, that's so dark.

I was so stimulated last night because we recorded our episode of The Redheads.

It was so good.

It's like an hour and 30 minutes almost of us just like talking about this book that we all loved.

But I put together our four audio files.

So it really, the audio was like such premium quality.

It was really a labor of love.

I we recorded the episode at five o'clock and I finished editing it at 11:30.

So I was literally working on it for like six hours straight.

So please listen to it.

Oh, and for those who are wondering why Jackie and I are back to Zoom, we have made the very difficult but necessary decision to temporarily stop filming.

It just is what's best for everyone.

And while we are sad, because we know a lot of people like live for the live stream and really have come to rely on it in these quarantine times, we just have to do what's best for our company, for us, and that's doing Zoom.

So we will let you know when we're back in studio, but it won't be for a little bit yeah zoom's not that bad i feel like the episode on monday people enjoyed um we'll get better with our audio hopefully i mean now that i'm using a microphone that should be good and if it's not good enough we'll try something else so this is not good enough i did a podcast with taylor strecker i don't know if it came out yet but it was literally like sensational audio but that's also because you were in our studio and you had

she wasn't so like we could be using our podcast equipment the key is to record your podcast if anyone's like a podcaster looking for how to make quality content in these quarantine times is to face time with the person that you're um podcasting with both you have to wear headphones and then you have to use your own podcast equipment to record on a totally separate um device so like a zoom or your computer um

and and it's okay so if this doesn't work out i have good ideas for tomorrow and next week but i think this should be okay well then it would be a good podcast but how would we get a video for youtube oh we wouldn't or we could record the screen the facetime but i don't know i don't know about that okay so we're gonna try and make this work um without further ado it is a very slow news day but we did not want to leave you without a show so let's just get right into the fast forward stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast

okay quickly i'm feeling very vulnerable like having my bedroom on display do you know what i mean like i i had to make my bed and stuff

No, I moved to the bedroom as well because I was filming in our quote unquote home office and the lighting was just not good.

I have so much white noise coming from my AC unit, which I've never even turned on in my life and it's just always roaring.

Yeah, you got to turn it off.

That's the life of a podcaster.

You always start sweating when you podcast.

I don't turn it off.

I've never turned it on.

It just makes noise.

It sits there and like hums.

So I came to the bedroom so I can be in front of my vanity.

Yeah, it does.

It does.

I don't use it.

I even Peloton in that room and I don't turn the AC on because I want it to feel like soul cycle.

So like, oh my God, you're insane.

I've literally never turned the air conditioning on in that room, yet the machine is finding a way to be heard that's cool but i think my lighting is better in here i'm further away from zach so i'm not like you know embarrassing him on his work calls talking about

santana

does it i don't know my bedroom is just like not it i think i need to move

Okay, let's get into the first story because Michael Che is paying rent for the New York City neighbors of his grandmother who died of coronavirus.

This is such a sweet story.

Michael Che is paying homage to his grandmother, Martha, who recently died of coronavirus complications in the kindest way possible.

The SNL star will pay one month's rent for 160 residents in his grandmother's public housing complex in New York City.

Quote: It's crazy to me that residents of public housing are still expected to pay their rent when so many New Yorkers can't even work, he wrote on Instagram.

Obviously, I can't offer much help by myself, but in the spirit and memory of my late grandmother, I'm paying one month's rent for all 160 apartments in the NYCHA building she lived in.

That's so sweet, but really shedding light on a much larger issue

that public housing residents should not have to pay

rent during the quarantine.

And to be honest, like, you know, I'm not one for politics.

And I think that Governor Cuomo is doing such a fabulous job really taking New York, you know, and making it into a livable place again.

But this is falling on the hands of Bill de Blasio, the mayor, because this is a mayoral thing.

And this is a New York City thing.

Right.

It's not a New York state thing.

Like Governor cuomo's in albany like for the state like there are things outside manhattan and bill debasio is supposed to be in charge of manhattan and he has been totally useless in trying to help governor cuomo and like just trying to like alleviate new york city as one of the biggest hubs in the world of coronavirus um and to me this is just like such an easy thing that should be taken care of and here yet again being disappointed by deblasio cannot wait for him to be out of office i'll literally take no it's

It's so crazy.

Like he doesn't even have to do anything or come up with any ideas on his own during the pandemic.

Just like listen listen to the people, follow Governor Cuomo, and just like follow what people are doing that people like, you know?

Yeah.

And you know what?

If I was a politician, I would actually use this quarantine and whole pandemic to my advantage because people are really, really struggling.

Like they're looking for the first time ever.

Like I've literally never thought in my life, like I need to turn to my governor or I need to turn to my mayor, but people are really turning to like their leaders.

And Bill Debasio is like a disgrace towards politics.

He's a disgrace towards leaders everywhere.

Like those shoes were meant for a beautiful woman.

And if that's the case, like, he shouldn't have had them.

He shouldn't be wearing them because he is nothing of the sort.

It's so fucking crazy.

This city is in shambles.

I can't believe we're the greatest city in the world.

I just, I can't even get into it.

It's, it's

people who say New York is the greatest city in the world haven't been here.

I've never been here.

No, but it used to be like fabulous.

Like, when you watch Breakfast at Tiffany's, yeah, fabulous.

It's not that anymore.

It's rather

pure.

And it's

in the last 10, it goes in and out.

I feel like New york is always like up and down just like anything else it's a ramona coaster but i feel like in the last 10 years it's really gone to like even when it was like gossip girl when we were in high school like things were popping you know

maybe just because we were we like it was a nice place to be and there were so many restaurants and it was clean like you can tell where new york is at in terms of like leadership and just based on the cleanliness Of course.

Just take a walk down a street.

Like you'll know what's good.

Okay.

This next story is so crazy.

I didn't see anyone writing about it except for, of course, Pop Crave News.

But Fashion Nova is trending on Twitter after the retail company sent a mass text to their customers promoting the spending of stimulus checks on their products.

So they sent a push notification to people who opt in for Fashion Nova push notifications that said, when the stimulus deposit hits, save up to 80% off-site-wide use code, stay in 80%.

Okay, like, no,

this is not what the the government intended no but i do have to say three things one this is incredibly out of touch and like borderline incentive to people who are like waiting on this check to like pay their rent put food on the table like it's just so out of touch i can't even but it is my understanding that the whole concept of stimulus checks is to stimulate the economy and like you know invest in businesses and therefore fashion nova would be considered a business like i get it but the third thing is like i just want to know like how many people had to like approve this this for it to go through.

Like Fashion Nova is actually a pretty big company.

Like they, they're fast fashion.

They make a lot of money.

Like they definitely hire a lot of people.

I would just love to know like how many people thought this was a good idea.

You know what?

I don't even think it's sad.

I think that whoever does their social and whoever does their push notifications does a really good job.

I think that person has pretty much absolute power when it comes to what goes out.

I think that that person spends a lot of time on the internet on TikTok and got like just assumed this was a good idea because this is the zeitgeist, but it just really misses the mark in terms of people who need that money, not to spend it on like fast fashion that employs slave laborers

and instead to put food on their table and take care of their families.

Yeah, like they should be putting food on the table, not buying a spandex dress that literally will rip the second you put it around one thigh.

Yeah, it's just, it's not it.

It's like, it's honestly a really funny fuck up.

But yeah, I mean, they're they, but fashion nova is so controversial in general.

Like

I don't even think this even scratches scratches the surface of what's wrong with them as a company you read that that article that they literally pay their workers like two dollars an hour like below minimum wage it's like slave labor

in america or like in a sweatshop in calif in california oh

not that it makes it any problem

abroad but it's just a lot of companies um i watched in um

in one of my classes in college, you made us watch this documentary about how they took like five European, like young bloggers who were like really spoiled and took them to a sweatshop in Cambodia that makes clothing for Zara, HM, and they made them work in the sweatshop for one day.

And these kids were like dying from the circumstances.

And it was a total expose on the whole fast fashion industry.

That's crazy.

Yeah, no, I'm not.

This is not going to affect Fashion Nova.

I agree.

Like, they're not at all.

They're used to controversy.

Honestly, this probably boosted sales for them.

So, whatever works.

Yeah, well, I don't think this will affect them at all.

It's honestly just kind of funny.

But whatever.

Okay.

Another brand with a faux palette making it right is Rhys Witherspoon, who's donating to teacher aid organization after Draper James Flapp.

So I didn't hear about this, but it turns out Draper James this week caught flack for a giveaway that backfired when it's underestimated demand.

I guess it was a giveaway for a free dress for teachers.

A million teachers entered the contest for a free dress and the company was only offering 250.

So I guess they caught some backlash.

I mean, how could they a million?

That's crazy.

I had no idea that this brand was so popular.

Was the premise of the giveaway to give one away to everyone who entered or just like a contest?

I think just a contest, but.

So, what's the problem?

And how does everyone know how many people entered?

That's how giveaways work: 10 people enter, one of them wins.

Education professionals were directed to an online application form with a deadline and told that winners would be notified the following week and sent their dresses while supplies last.

But while Draper James' initial announcement was well-intentioned and met with much fanfare,

they seem to underestimate how many teachers would take them up on the offer.

There are more than 3 million public school teachers in the U.S.

alone.

So maybe it was like if you

entered,

teachers who assumed they were entering a giveaway rather than a raffle are sharing their frustration on social media.

So I thought, I'm sorry, a giveaway is different than a raffle, though, because it's not just like, oh, a few.

It's like, we're giving it away.

I don't know.

250 is a giveaway.

I'm sorry.

In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with this contest.

That's how contests and giveaways and sweepstakes work.

It wouldn't be exciting if everyone won.

Of course.

Well, anyways,

could get a dress, but that's not how the company, that's not how the giveaway works.

Why are they apologizing?

This makes no sense.

I must be this.

Well, she's Rhys Witherswood made a donation to the nonprofit donors.

Choose to support three southern cities, support teachers in three southern cities.

The donation from Rhys and her fashion line drapery James will support all of our highest need teachers in New Orleans, Atlanta, and Nashville, and many more throughout the country.

That's fabulous.

I love a donation.

I just need to know what controversy was really there that spiraled.

She didn't just donate for no reason.

You go through controversy and you donate.

That's how being a celebrity works.

I feel like there's something about, I'll read the article again.

I feel like there's something we are missing as to why this is so.

If they're guilty of something, every brand, including the toast, is guilty of doing a giveaway.

Giveaways are meant to be where winners are selected.

I'm not understanding.

And if this is like the level of heightened cancel culture, we've got to, then I'm shook.

Okay, this is what the angry teachers were tweeting.

Out of 535 teachers on a social media page on Facebook, not even one got a free draper Draper James dress.

What in the what?

They all received codes for either 20 to 30% off discount codes.

They said, can't even afford the dresses with a discount.

Great marketing ploy.

Another one.

Wow.

Draper James clearly doesn't know how much teachers make.

We love teachers.

Here's 30% off our ridiculously expensive dresses.

If I'm spending $100 on an everyday dress, it better also grade essays.

Okay, I'm still not understanding.

So the teachers intercept.

We got to protect the teachers.

You have to protect the teachers.

But so are they mad that they didn't win the contest or that they never were able to win the contest?

There's a difference.

But if you didn't win,

that's how it works.

I'm very confused.

I'm sure it's frustrating to them to have not won, but like

just because, does entering this specific contest guarantee winning it?

I don't know.

I don't know.

And just because this one Facebook group got mad, Louis Witherspoon had to make a donation.

It sounds like

a subgroup of people who hate the toast.

No, totally.

I have no idea.

That's a really crazy story.

So,

anyway, you know what?

At the end of the day, more money for charity.

The teachers are benefiting and we love to benefit the teachers.

A thousand percent taking the load off of them.

So whatever weird turn of events got Reese Witherspoon to make a sizable donation to donor's choice, like here for it.

I love exploiting a celebrity

like controversy just to to make some money for charity.

The charity world, man, it's just crazy.

It is really crazy.

Our fourth and final story is that Kanye West is on the cover of GQ.

Oh my God.

So I haven't read the article yet and I want to read it because I hate when people try and sum up what Kanye said.

And it's like, that's not what he had said, you know?

But so I read Kanye West is on the cover of GQ and then Tank.

And I was like, oh, like, he's wearing a tank top.

Like, who cares?

And then I was like, I saw the cover.

I'm like, that's not a tank top.

I was like, but it's a tank.

It's literally like a tiny tank.

He loves a tank moment.

Yeah, I didn't read the article either.

I'm just like happy for him and whatever like he's spewing.

Sometimes I just can't, literally can't keep up with the Kardashians.

Like there's too much.

I know, but it's just like.

He's sharing his in the article.

It's called Inside Kanye West's Vision for the Future.

First, he changed the sound of popular music, then he revolutionized fashion and sneakers.

Now Kanye West is redesigning the very building blocks of family life, food, clothing, and shelter, and he's claimed thousands of acres in Wyoming as a test site for his ideas.

G Hugh followed Kanye from Cody to Calabasas, from Cabo San Lucas to Paris to see it all firsthand and to talk to him about his next album, His Altered Ego.

Oh, that's interesting as opposed to alter ego.

Altered ego, because he changed his ego.

And his renewed faith in God.

Sounds interesting.

Sounds just like, yeah, honestly, it must have been super fun for whatever like intern journalist got to travel with Kanye from Cabo St.

Lucas to Paris, you know, like, do you think that they put him on the plane or they made him fly commercial?

I think they put him on the plane.

They're pretty good about putting people on the plane, unless Courtney's coming and then the trainers and the security have to fly commercial.

Totally.

Kardashians on tonight.

Oh, yes.

I was real housewives of New York.

I'm hoping we're going to get better episodes of both because this past week just didn't do it for me in terms of New York Housewives or keeping up with the Kardashians.

I have a high bar, especially after after watching this stellar, sensational, inspired, and fabulous premiere of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Like, that's my level now, and I don't feel like I should watch anything less than that.

Yeah, so I feel like that's a great segue to recap Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which is really like the reason for the season.

The reason we did an episode today, because it was oozing fabulosity.

I just, I've never been so excited.

Every time Beverly Hills comes back, like I get chills, like I'm excited.

But this, in my opinion, was one of the best season premieres of any franchise ever.

Okay, here's the thing.

I like kind of agree with you,

but

I feel like it was just the best because we were so excited.

But when you break it down to its essential bits, and because we love all the women, like it all revolved around this Kyle Richards New York Fashion Week fashion show that was like so season one.

I feel like anytime a housewife does a fashion show, it's like so janky and so like season one, season two housewives.

And I just couldn't believe that's season 10 of Real Housewives at Beverly Hills.

Like Kyle is taking us back there with some janky fashion show where her daughters and her castmates are walking.

Okay.

Yes, I agree.

Like, we are so above just in Beverly Hills and the fact that we're on season 10.

Like, we're above a fashion show put together with scotch tape.

I totally agree.

But in Kyle's defense, like, it was as good as

it could have been.

Like, she did get Pier 59 at New York Fashion Week.

She had a full production.

Like, Kyle, Paris, and Nikki were there.

Like, it was the highest level housewives fashion show by a mile.

And I didn't think it was so janky.

Yes, I'm like over a fashion show in a housewives like franchise because it's so silly.

Like it's never been real.

But it was, it was at the level that I expected it to be at.

I don't know.

It was just, and even seeing the behind the scenes, and it's like, she hasn't even seen the garments.

It was like, what is going on?

Why is Kyle Richards like putting her name on this?

Why is she always doing these collaborations?

Like, there's something that I'm not understanding.

And she was like talking with Dore, like, I'm not just going to put my name on something like that I don't believe in.

And it's like, why are you even in this position?

Like, you used to have a clothing store.

I, I just, I didn't understand.

I actually, I did, I do agree that the fashion show came out as best as it possibly could.

Um,

but there was something so season one out of it.

I can't explain it.

I didn't, until you mentioned it, like, I didn't really get like all bent out of shape over it.

Like, you're right.

Like, it is.

It is below them for sure, but like, it didn't impact the way that I felt or like the, the episode, because to me, there was so much to the episode, including the fashion show but i just i don't even know where to start let's start with our two new ladies because

i absolutely like even saying the words fashion show like i feel so corny like i'm i can't and you know who it's the only person i'll take a fashion show from now from now on on real housewives honestly like the only one who makes me feel something with their fashion show who doreet melissa gorga No, Melissa Gorga.

I love her fashion show.

It's like family.

She is who she is.

She's like running down the runway, like being herself.

She actually owns a clothing store.

Like, I like her version of a fashion show, but when anyone else is like bringing it to New York Fashion Week, like, oh my God, maybe I just don't go to enough fashion week stuff.

And that's actually how it's done, but just I can't with a fashion show.

Okay.

I really didn't think it was that big of a show.

It makes me feel like, it makes me feel like when we were like eight years old and we used to walk down our hallway and be like, fashion show.

See what's what Melissa Gorgas was.

Like Kyle's had a production.

Like it had, there was a lot of press there.

I was actually invited and couldn't make it and like was lamenting the whole episode that I wasn't there.

And i couldn't you make it i had someone do it like i was i was i had another commitment what could have been like more popping than that honestly something i remember like being upset that i wasn't able to go because i knew they were filming damn that sucks um okay let's talk about the two new women because garcel bouvier was just

everything.

Like I, she very seamlessly, like even though it was obvious she didn't really know anyone except for Denise, everyone was super welcoming.

I just, I have such a good feeling about her.

Like she's funny.

She didn't like sometimes when somebody joins, and I think this happened a little bit with Teddy Mellencamp, like they're just so eager to like be a part of the group that they're very much like a people pleaser.

They don't really add much to conversation until they get comfortable.

But Garcelle is very much like a force.

And I think a lot of the women like respected her vibe, especially Erica Jane.

And I could see a very powerful friendship between the two.

I totally agree.

I loved her energy.

I love that she like didn't pretend like she didn't know who these people are, but she's still getting to know them.

She's not just like making assumptions about them based on what they wear like some other people.

Sutton is like the woatiest woat I've ever woated.

You know what?

I have to, I have to say, I thoroughly disliked Sutton, but not for the reasons that one might think.

Like I just, I'm 100% sure that like production was asking her questions, like, what do you think of Teddy's outfit?

Like, I don't think she's generally like that, like just going around and being mean about people's outfits.

I'm sure what she said was her truth, but I just think she was provoked saying that.

What I really disliked about her was that like, I don't know, if she's as rich as everyone says she is, like, that's just not how rich people act.

Like, even when, when she got to go to Dolche and Gabbana's house and get dressed by them, like, and it was obviously like a very prestigious thing that happens to her a lot, she was just being so braggy about it, like, and so ostentatious, like not, not gracious and not like.

I just, I just felt like if that was something that happens for her regularly, like, and she was a really, really rich person,

people like that would act differently.

Like, they would act with more grace.

She was just being so show-offy and so braggy to Lisa Reyna and for the cameras.

Like it was just giving me like a really bad vibe that she's like the worst type of rich person.

Interesting.

Yeah.

I'm going to reserve actual like judgment of her until we get to know her a little better because right now we're only like we haven't really had, oh no, we did have a confessional with her, but I want to see her home life and like I want to get to know her.

Maybe there's more to her like, but this was just not a good debut episode, considering like Garcell was there and just like showed you how it's done.

It was just a little clunky.

And you know what?

Maybe like this explains why she doesn't have a diamond.

Maybe she's not getting one because it seems like with all the drama about to take off, like if she doesn't ingratiate herself in the group quickly, she's going to get left behind because like we're turning to Denise soon.

Yeah.

Also, I was getting the vibe that she like knew the housewife's formula and was just like saying and doing things because she wants to be a housewife, which is the worst type of mentality you can come in with.

And I do think that like she starts petty fights and like is a little nuts and it it comes off inauthentic.

And I think that she might end up not being a housewife just because she's not good at it.

Yeah.

And the other women, like she might have been able to be a housewife in another city, but the real housewives of Beverly Hills are just on another level.

Like my girl, Dore, like, was she extra precious this episode or was it just me?

She was a little bitchy about the fashion show.

Like she literally went to one meeting and claimed that the show wouldn't have gone on without her.

No, she was a little bitchy in her confessional, but not at the,

not in real time, which makes me feel like something might happen between her and Kyle to like make her talk like so negatively.

Also, Kyle was like tweeting shady, like she was live tweeting the episode and just like being shady, especially about the things that Doreen said, like taking credit for all of Kyle and like the production Tracy's team's work.

I know, but like

with it.

I know, but the fact that Kyle was like beefing with her production team, it was just very season one.

And you know what?

That was funny.

That was funny.

It was very, it was very real households of Orange County when they had the fashion show on the boat.

I happened to think that was hilarious when she got a phone call and they were like, Tracy said she wants to stay away from you today.

I thought that was hilarious because that woman, Tracy, was like being so angry at the meeting at Shahida's before.

I didn't have like that reaction to the fashion show that you did, but I totally understand and respect why you did.

Yeah, but I will say,

ultimately, I really liked a lot of the clothes.

I completely agreed with Garcel that Erica was in the wrong outfit.

I loved when Doreet went to the

showroom or whatever, the closet, when she put on that

trench, that like trench, but it kind of looks like your pajamas vibe.

I absolutely loved it.

So I really do like a lot of the clothes.

I'm excited to see where this goes for Kyle because that really is her signature style.

I just wish there was a way to showcase your new fashion line without having a fashion show.

Yeah, I agree.

I thought the fashion line was actually pretty cute.

While not everything was for me, I could see Kyle Richards wearing everything.

And so for her to put her her face, her name to that, I understood why she was like alpha clemped when like Shahida was out making ugly yellow mustard tops.

Yeah, yeah, I agree.

And also Sutton like respected the

clothes as well.

And so did Garcelle.

And I feel like it actually was good stuff.

I wonder where it's sold.

I wonder where you could get it.

I feel like you would actually look like really good in a lot of that stuff.

Thank you.

Also, really quickly, I did a little research on

Sutton Strack's husband because Lisa was like, he's a hedge fund, money, money, money, baseball teams.

And I found his like net worth being $690,000.

So,

no, it's obviously not real, but like, just makes you think.

I thought you were going to say $690 million.

And then I was...

When I read it, when I read it, I assumed it said $690 million.

Then it said $690,000.

Interesting.

But like, if they own two baseball teams, then shouldn't they be billionaires?

Yeah, no, by the way, if you own a baseball team, like you are rich before, because you have to buy the baseball team.

Like, nobody

starts small with their baseball team and then gets rich.

No, she's then gets two of them.

Right.

No, she's up there, but I don't know.

And then the baseball teams are worth something.

So their net worth would have to be at least a billion dollars.

And, you know, if she's a billionaire,

if she's a billionaire, like, we'll give her a few more episodes.

Yeah, but I just have to say, like, for all the trouble we went to to go to Delta and Gabbana's house, that atrocity of an outfit she ended up walking out in was really a disgrace to fashion, a disgrace to women, and a disgrace to life.

Well, you know what?

Like, here's the thing.

It really didn't suit her, but I feel like it would have been really cute on me.

Actually, it would have been cute on like Kyle Richards.

Like, I could see her wearing something like that.

Doritt.

Yeah.

Dorit.

Garcelle on Watchtrappins Live, when she was asked which of the ladies have the biggest ego, she said Kyle Richards.

I feel that.

I also feel like it's warranted because she's the last OG, like Tracy Morgan, you know?

And look how she's acting versus like Teresa Judice, who's the last OG too.

Like Teresa Judice is a monster.

All right, Kyle has a bit of an ego.

We'll give it to her.

We'll give it to her.

Yeah, I totally agree with that.

Okay.

I mean, the most incredible part was the last minute of like teasing and showing and foreshadowing this huge, what's the word?

I don't know.

Oh, yeah, like this big thing that we've been hearing about.

I wasn't entirely sure of the validity of it, but they didn't pretend like it hadn't gotten leaked, which I really appreciated.

Like they acknowledge that people are talking about how Brandy Glandel exposed that allegedly her and Denise Richards had an affair.

And that seems to be the thing that kills the group for Denise.

And they're...

It looks like they come at it from a place of like, we all come on this show, like, no skeletons.

Like, we have to be completely honest.

Lisa Rena is like, I'm talking about my daughter's eating disorder.

And I, I agree with that, but something about the way, like, who Denise was before the show makes me think like she didn't come on this show to like bear her all.

She came on the show for a paycheck.

Yeah.

Um,

I'm gonna, I don't, I feel like when we see it all unravel, we'll have different thoughts because right now, like, yes, I agree.

You're supposed to put your life out there, but there's a lot that these women don't show or don't talk about and the other women respect it.

So, if Denise is having an extramarital relationship and either it is because she's in an open marriage or not like that seems like the type of thing that the other women for each other would have ordinarily protected you know and yeah even with dorit and her lawsuits or like kyle and maurizio have been through a lot and erica and her like there's all there's a lot of stuff that comes up all the time and the women like actually draw a very hard line um

that's why last season when camille came for dorit's finances it was like such a big deal and so while they yes they are very authentic and they share a lot of their lives i wouldn't call them the castmates that bear all no i agree i agree um i i do think that and i'm sure we'll find out i don't think denise richers was running around having an affair like i'm she she's been very open about her and aaron's like sexual you know rendezvous rumps in the sack and i just think like having somewhat of an open relationship as when it comes to like being with a woman is a part of that and like who cares well we'll see we'll see i'm i'm i'm remaining open-minded about it because i feel like watching it play out we might feel a certain type of way that we couldn't possibly feel right now because we don't know anything yeah but overall i just thought it was like such a good episode such a good premiere i love having these back every outfit was just stellar stellar stellar like eric and jane at b-files like they really have become because of the show like so famous and i love that they're leaning into that i love that the first episode they went to new york i feel like normally they maybe would have had like one or two episodes like getting ready for new York.

And like, I just don't need that.

Like, they just dove right in, which makes me think they have a lot of footage and like they don't need a lot of filler episodes, which is very exciting.

And I'm just so pleased with where the cast is at.

I love how famous they are.

Like, I love how Lisa Reina was famous before, but is now more famous than ever for being a housewife.

Erica Jane is so famous.

Kyle is so famous.

Like, they're leaning into the housewives' fame.

And it's not like the traditional housewives fame that has a little bit of a want

to it.

It's like, it's, that's what I'm, I forget where I read it, but it's like, Beverly Hills is the crown jewel of the Real Housewives franchise.

And it's so true.

Yeah, it's so true.

It's such a pleasure to have them back on TV.

I'm so excited.

I didn't realize how much I missed all of them and having like their fashion inspiration in my life.

And also, like, they make me realize how much the other housewives and franchises, like the fashion is just like really bad.

Some would say a disgrace.

Yeah.

Some would say that.

Okay, so here's an update on Toast Movie of the Day.

I didn't have time to finish Hannah Montana, in the movie because I was up until 1130 doing the Redheads and then I had to watch Beverly Hills.

So then I started Han Montana movie, but then it was 2 a.m.

and I had to go to sleep.

So I'm going to give one more day for Han Montana the movie because I'm still going to watch it because I was just like loving it already.

And plus we have to watch Rahoni and Kardashians tonight.

Yeah, so there'll be a lot of stuff to recap on tomorrow's show.

Hopefully some more celebrity news because today was a little, little thin like me.
