Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Toast. Happy Monday. Hope everyone had a fabulous, stunning, beautiful, and smart weekend. Hey, Jax, how you durn? I'm durn good. Happy to be back in studio. It was great weekend, busy weekend, tiring weekend. And now it's just another glorious Monday. Could you believe it? No, because it feels like a Friday.

I have the longest weekend. Like I'm ready to now relax, but it's Monday. We haven't been in studio since Thursday. Well, actually since Wednesday, because Thursday we recorded remotely from Nashville. I feel like I've been to the edge of the earth and back since that last show. Like I'm a different person.

What's changed for you? Just the experiences I've experienced, you know. They've changed you? They've changed me. I mean, first of all, my show in Nashville was life changing. Like the way I would literally move to Nashville is not normal. It was so fun. First of all, like the show was incredible.

It was such a nice theater. Shout out to the Teapack. It was beautiful. And I was amazing. And then I hit the town afterwards, obviously, because Shannon was in town. My friend Abe came with me and it was Nashville. So like I did what I had to do. I do what you do. Yeah. I went honky tonking on Broadway. It was incredible. Like the way I don't think I've ever had more fun in my life than when I go out in Nashville. Like why don't I live there? You should move there. Well, way I don't think I've ever had more fun in my life than when I go out in Nashville. Like, why don't I live there? You should move there. Well, if I lived there, like I wouldn't go to Broadway. That's the thing. It's like truly for tourists, but I don't care. You would find somewhere else and you would, I think you would still love it. I support you moving there. It was

amazing. Like I love it there so much. The weather was perfect. The people were so nice. I had so much fun. I was like out till the break of dawn, came home, ate McDonald's, like things I do in New York, you know? It was really just stunning. Like if you were there to experience it, I'm so glad for you because it was wonderful. Like, oh, just love.

You love to hear that. Claudia always embarks on her tour. She doesn't know what it's going to be. She's always a little shy even through her confidence you can see that there's like a shyness you know like you know what how you always say like will people love like I'm like funny blah blah blah and then she comes back on a Monday to let us know that she crushed it that I crushed I'm literally the most talented comedian on the planet like nobody can write material better than me I am the voice of my generation like that's how I feel when I get off stage which is good it's better than feeling like oh my god I'm in the wrong line of work like

do I actually think I'm the most talented comedian yes um you know what I mean it's just yeah you're right like the difference between like the podcast before a show and after is so different before a show it's like hope you guys come and have a good time. Like, we're going to have a lot of fun. Yeah, like, I think you guys are going to like it. Fucking lit that shit to the ground. We did. We burned that mother down.

Like, if you were there, you know. Like, we burned that to the ground. You experienced greatness. I experienced greatness. Like, let's do it again. Where are we doing it again next time? So I hate to disappoint everyone, but my last three remaining shows,

Durham, Charlotte, and Birmingham are at 100% capacity. I just got the numbers the other day. So there's literally not a ticket to be sold. So you will not catch me promoting girlwithnojob.com slash tour. You won't. Oh my gosh.

The show is about to be like 15 minutes shorter every day now. No, the show is about to be like 15 minutes shorter every day. No, the show is about to be 15 minutes long. Period. Yeah. I'm so sorry to like be the bearer of bad news. You know, I'm sold out nationwide. I'm sure we could find something else to promote while we have this dearth.

I mean, if we had to, you know, it's never too late to become a redhead. Girlwithnojob.com slash bookjackioflow.com. I mean, the list of mogul tings is endless. TNN. Yes, et cetera, et cetera. Speaking of it being never too late to become a redhead, you are a redhead right now as you are currently reading our newest book. Can you share your thoughts as you progress?

I'm reading Lessons in Chemistry. I'm taking it slow. I haven't had like a ton of time to read. I think I'm about like 50, 60% now. If you read the book, like you know the thing that happened like crushed me and like I really did not want to continue reading the book. Like why? Why did they have to do that?

That was Snatchler's POV too. That was so unnecessary. Like these two miserable people who had like the only source of joy taken from them. Like whatever. I don't want to spoil it for anyone. I am enjoying it. It's a lot of science. Like chill with the scientific analogies. Like, whatever. I don't want to spoil it for anyone. I am enjoying it. It's a lot of science. Like, chill with the scientific analogies.

Like, we get it. Are you a scientist? We get it. But I am really enjoying it. I'm just doing it slowly. I don't know why. Because you had a busy weekend. Yeah, so then I came back Friday, headed to the New York Wine and Food Festival, spritzed

through a bash. It was truly, like, I had nothing to do with the planning so Ben was just like show up here wear this like you know and it was so much fun all the girlies came out the influencers Sophia LaCorte and it was super fun like the face of spritz the face of spritz the gorgeous face of spritz she is a spritz can personified 1000 One thousand percent. Bubbly, red, stunning. Yeah. I love when you and Margo hang out with her because I just feel like it's I feel seen. Through osmosis, like you're hanging out with her.

Yeah. So you guys still choose to hang out with redheads only. And then I ran into Matt Peterson. So he is a TikToker who I've known is a toaster. He's like literally 10 million followers on TikTok. It's crazy. What's his shtick? Okay, I'll do it for you. He's like, he does like this food, these food challenges. So someone will be like, eat only purple foods for a day. So he'll choose someone's challenge and be like, challenge accepted. And then I'll take you through the day of like eating only purple foods. And he just moved to New York. So he came to this party, obviously, because it was the New York Wine and Food Festival.

Of course, Matt Peterson had to be there. And I knew he was a toaster. I didn't realize how big of a toaster he was, Jackie. He was saying the nicest things. And he said something that like truly stuck with me that I was like using all weekend because I was like I was really nervous about BravoCon. He was like, I need to tell you something like you guys have to stop talking about like your haters because you don't realize like there are so tell you something like you guys have to stop talking about like your haters

because you don't realize like there are so many people who love you guys we like literally would take a bullet for you you're such an important part of our day like stop talking about the four haters you have so many lovers and I'm like you're so right like I was like it's just human nature you know like you focus on the negative like there could be a hundred people in a room it's, it's just human nature. You know, like you focus on the negative. Like there could be a hundred people in a room. It's yes. It's human nature. And there's a million people in the room. I think like we are particularly traumatized. Yes.

But that is such amazing advice. And that's literally the advice. Like we always give other people, but we can't take ourselves. And I've really never thought about it like that. Jackie. And he was like literally screaming at me, but he was totally right. He's like, stop, stop. And I'm like, okay, okay, I'll stop.

He was totally right. Oh my God. I'm obsessed. Obsessed. Obsessed with this change of perspective. So that was kind of the shift in my weekend. You know, like that was like a whole new me. That's what I'm saying.

A new girl, new experiences. Oh my God. I'm loving where you're taking us. So then Saturday I woke up and I finally went to Pennsylvania to meet Brian's son, Dean. It was literally the nicest day. First of all, like fall is in full effect. And as much as I'm like, there's so many aspects of your new life that I'm jealous of. Of course, you know, having a pool, Harry, like a lot of different things. You not having the seasons like it sucks. Like were driving up it was so sick it's so sick and when I was moving to Florida people are like oh my gosh the weather's

so amazing I'm like that's actually my least favorite part about thinking about moving to Florida it's like I I love the seasons I even like the cold and I'll suffer through those two miserable months you know I'm living literally two months for 10 and no you're living yeah yeah it's worth oh I love it all and so to me like the weather in Florida is actually a negative not a positive for most people it's a positive you know it's summer 24 7 you can always swim I still haven't been in my pool since you were here in August I'm coming back maybe sometime this week so I probably won't be in my pool again until you come back. Well, I'll make sure to pack my trunks.

Bring your swimsuit. So we just drove up to Pennsylvania and it was so beautiful. Like I literally was like sobbing on the way there. It's just like you only get like a month, maybe less of like that transitional. Of the transition. So it's still a little green, yellow. It was so beautiful. It was like such a peaceful drive.

And then we got up to Brian's farm, which he's done like so much renovation and construction on. And the trees were just, it was so red by Taylor Swift. And I met baby Dean and he was so fucking cute. And Brian had the nursery and it was just like so amazing. And we had lunch, you know, John grilled. And it was just like a stunning day. We walked around the property, saw the horses. And then right before we left, we watched Brian's birth video. So Brian's surrogate's wife kind of like filmed the whole thing on an iPhone, like nothing crazy. But we put it on airplane. We watched it. And it wasn't like super. Graphic? Graphic.

Thank you. She was standing, you know, at like a normal angle. But I think Ben was like, I have seen a birth before. Like I once ran into a toaster and she showed me her water birth. And that was honestly fucking traumatizing. I've never, I've given birth and I've never seen, I don't know what it looks like. I've never watched a video of it. I didn't know what, like I only saw what I could see.

And I think that's how it's supposed to be did you look at your coochie I did as much as I could um but I couldn't I'm not an acrobat like no no I'm pregnant yeah like I can't like right you're pregnant oh there's a the baby is in my way right um so there was like twice where she was like come and look so I did as much as I couldn't it was like cool stuff nothing crazy but like Zach was like that's so crazy so we watch a video as the baby's coming out they like you know immediately bring baby to Brian's second skin we're all like sobbing it was really like you could totally in the video that captured like the specialness of that moment and Brian was saying how like a lot of you know it wasn't in Cedars-Sinai it was kind of outside LA and so you know they don't have a lot of surrogacy there and so um everyone like the nurses and that everyone was crying like it was

like so emo it was so beautiful so right after that we left we drove back to the city and Ben was like dead fucking silent in the car I'm like what, what is wrong? That's so not Ben. He's so chatty. He's so chatty, especially in a moving vehicle. He was like, I just, I can't talk. Like, I need to process what I just saw. I'm like, oh my God, it wasn't even that crazy. Like, I don't even have a particularly strong stomach. It just, it wasn't that crazy.

He was dead silent for the first 45 minutes of the car ride. Like, he could not speak. Yeah, I don't, I don't feel like people need to watch birth videos I feel like by the like by the time you give birth like every your body has done such like incredible amazing things it's like what's pushing out a human and even like for your husband so like if Ben saw you give birth like he also had seen you like create a child for 10 months it's like it's it's very stark to go from being a lay person to watching a birth yeah I don't think you need to watch a

birth to like prepare yourself for it but it was like a nice moment I'm glad I got to see from Brian's life you know not everyone's cut out for it is what that's what I was taking away I wasn't looking for like you know anatomical right like blood no I was just like oh my god this is so special I actually wish I could have been there but now I got a video you know yeah so it was anatomical assistance. Right, like blood. No, I was just like, oh my God, this is so special. I actually wish I could have been there, but now I got a video, you know? Yeah. So it was such a nice day. And then me and Ben just came home and chilled because the next day I was doing BravoCon. So we drove home. We got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic going into the Lincoln Tunnel. And Ben had a moonstruck moment, which if you listen to the toast, you know that means he thought he was

going to shit his pants. We pulled off and like we were driving around, you know, like right before you get into the tunnel, there's nothing there. Like we were driving around. We were Ben was screaming like we finally ended up at some random like it was called Bonefish Grill. Ben got to poo and that was the end of our day. Then we went to bed, woke up super early yesterday for BravoCon. So I knew I was moderating this panel at BravoCon and I was like really fucking nervous. Like honestly, it kind of ruined my weekend knowing that I had to do it because I had this pit. Like I was really nervous about it the whole time.

And I wasn't sure why. But then once I got there, like I realized why. The magnitude, like the event, it's 10,000 people. It's at the Javits Center. It's huge. It's like this huge undertaking. And the second you walk in, I saw literally within four steps, I saw Naomi, Craig, Austin, Kyle Richards, so many different people, Patricia Altschul.

Like it was really overwhelming and it was kind of crazy to be there because, you know, everyone who's becomes a Bravo Liberty like immediately gets like this big ego I think and they all think they're like the biggest star on their show so then to be in a room with all these other big stars it was kind of like a dick measuring contest yeah yeah exactly like and I saw a lot of people being nice to one another I saw a lot of people ignoring one another for a Bravo fan it was incredibly overwhelming like you I couldn't go to the bathroom without seeing 45 people it was crazy I saw Reza I can't even Jackie Goldschneider like I can't even count the people Lee Metrini um and then I got to meet everyone for my panel so my panel was all about the iconic

vacations that they've taken so we heard from Candice Dillard-Bissett, Kyle Richards, Kenya Moore, and Luann de Lesseps. And then also four producers from each of their shows talking about like how they plan and how they film those trips. Did they talk about who pays for it? No, but we did talk about like why Beverly Hills seems to always be flying private when everyone's flying commercial. And Kyle was like, because we pay for it. So the ladies pay for it. Okay, fair is fair. And I think that really settled the rest of the group. Kenya was like because we pay for it so the ladies pay for it okay fair is fair and I think that really settled the rest of the group Kenya was like yeah why and they were like well we pay

for it and everyone was like oh okay well that makes sense at least you're not getting special treatment right um so the panel went great we had great conversations it was so interesting to see how like the crowd receives different housewives I mean mean, I could have told you this, but seeing it in person, like the way the room lost their mind over Luann. Like she's such a star. And I think in the context of this conversation, vacations, she really comes to mind as, you know, is that a buffalo coming down the stairs? Excella Francais, the pirate, don't be all uncool.

Like she has all these iconic moments falling into the bush. So everyone was really lit to see her and for me I've met Kyle and I've met Luann I had never met Candice and I never met Kenya and you know I watch Potomac religiously and I'm not a particular like Candice fan but after meeting her I have to say like obsessed she was of all the ladies the nicest to me like chatting taking pictures like so kind so lovely and then when I was watching last night's Potomac like I found myself being like drawn to her but that happens all the time

when we meet people from the show yep like when they come on the toast and you you get a really good feeling from them it influences how you see them on the show because you're able to just like put them into context and like I think it's a good thing when that happens. It humanizes them. Yeah, no, and to have more of like a picture of this person. So I'm so here for changing hearts and minds. Yeah, Kenya was incredible. Like I'm obsessed.

The way that like, you know, it really showed me, and I think it's so important to always remember, like you don't know the people that you're watching on tv like you literally know nothing about them yeah it's it was awesome it was so cool to be asked like honestly like I was really honored um I'm glad it's behind me because I was like so nervous about it and there were so many toasters there which just made like it was a very welcoming environment which I really appreciated that's so nice it was a fabulous weekend jam-packed weekend for you jam-packed weekend for you how was your weekend I'm tired of talking my weekend

was a little different you know it was very home focused whenever Harry was napping I was either just reading or cooking but a few exciting updates from the weekend that I'll share one on Friday morning we took Harry to get his passport which was just like the cutest when I tell you I've showed every single picture people that picture every single person that picture sorry I'm like having a seizure of his passport picture it he's literally a lump of potatoes like he's just skin in the picture it's just like a potato uh dress like acting like a big man you know totally cos. Cosplaying. Also something really exciting that happened this weekend was that Harry said mama. Oh my god yes and I've also

showed one million people that video sorry. So on Saturday morning when I when he woke up and I went to get him from his crib like I'm pretty I thought I heard him say mama but like no one was around and you know I didn't have it on video. So I was like, oh, maybe his mouth just made mama, whatever. I didn't think too much of it. But then later, I've also been noticing that when he plays with Brew or sees Brew, and I'm always saying, brother Bruno, brother Bruno. I'm always like, there's Brew, where's Brew? I just say Bruno all the time.

I've been noticing that he's trying to say Bruno. It's obviously not going to be a baby's first word. It's kind of hard. But he's like, boo. It is. He'll say boo. Yeah. And not going to be a baby's first word. It's kind of hard, but he's like, it is. He'll say boo. Yeah. And so like we were eating and just like playing.

And Zach and I were like, Bruno, he's like, boo, Bruno, boom. We were doing that for a while. And then Zach decided to switch it up.

And he was like, dad, dad. And I was like, please. And Harry goes, mama, you guys,

the video like, like changed my life. Like not only was it like you know a lot of kids say mama now i'm not saying harry's special but i think he might be because he literally had such enunciation he basically said mother no and not even that like he swerved on his father he was like you think you think i'm gonna say dada before mama when this woman birthed me? Did you see a birthing video yet, father? You think? It was literally so perfectly enunciated.

It wasn't like, it was ma, ma. Literally like Jason Momoa. Even he couldn't ruin the moment. So that was really sweet. Like when I say, when I tell you I've watched a video no less than 45,000 times I'm obsessed literal genius it was really really cute and then really exciting was last night the snatchler came over because she was in town for work she requested I make a chili which you know I'm never going to turn down I did a different chili than the one from last week because the

Shapiros did come over and I don't want them to get sick of my cooking so I did um a beef chili from Half Baked Harvest love her recipes and it was a big hit like Kayla literally is obsessed with my cooking like there could be chips on the plate I made a corn muffin her plate is full of like yummy carbs only eating the chili that's our carnivorous girly and she is like the only critic that I care about their opinion. She's the only voice that matters in the culinary industry. The only voice that matters. And I think it was Friday night. Oh, I cooked Friday night too.

See, a lot of cooking this weekend. I made stuffed peppers. Tacos stuffed peppers. So good. I was the only one who ate the stuffed peppers. Everyone else just had tacos. But I really enjoyed. And I'll be having stuffed peppers for lunch today. For months. No, I have two more. I'll be having stuffed peppers for lunch for months no I

have two more I'll be having it for lunch and dinner it sounds like we had such different weekends and like I'm like so jealous of your weekend just because like family food and fun you know you were missed though because you know the sissies were together last night having chili and you you would have loved it that's that's sweet and just on a reading update I finished my book tomorrow tomorrow and tomorrow I could say objectively it's a good book but I personally didn't love it um but it was it's a good book it's obviously amazingly well written it just I was saying this to Claudia just fill me with like existential dread and I don't feel that way when I read a lot of books but I was just feeling

like dreadful that's how I feel honestly about every new episode I watch of tell me lies yeah it's positively dreadful it's just like it was so pessimistic and like just like sad and just like never really got really to be great even though these were kids who were having like so much success and they just like couldn't enjoy life. And I just love a little joie de vivre, you know? It's so important that every book I read has a certain element of joie de vivre. And just leaves me with a bit of joie de vivre. But then I'm also reading, I'm almost done with,

The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict. It's historical fiction and it's the story of Hedy Lamarr who is an iconic queen but her backstory is so interesting she's an Austrian Jewess who escapes right before the breakout of World War II and goes on to Hollywood to become a huge actress and inventor she's like the most gorgeous woman and the smartest woman get you a woman who could do both and her story is amazing is that she's beautiful stunning and smart literally beautiful stunning and smart and I haven't finished reading it yet so I don't want to google yet but a quick google because I wanted to see a picture of her because I'm like this beautiful woman let me see uh showed me that Gal Gadot will be playing her in a series on Showtime of course she will our Jewish queen

Gal Gadot coming in to preserve history and to play a fellow Jewish queen I also love reading books about like the time before like between 1933 and 1939 so like the war hadn't broken out yet but like the Nazis are on the move and like you know Nuremberg laws are going into place anti-semitism is like crazy on the rise and like I know in hindsight everyone like thinks that they would do the right thing and like stand up for like people who are being oppressed oppressed but like it's so interesting to but they didn't to hear to like see what actually happened during that time and how like everyone just like went along with it cheered for it like when Austria when Germany invaded Austria they didn't even have to invade everyone was cheering cheering in the streets. There was no military presence. They just absorbed Austria.

And it's just crazy to hear it from like what actually happened. If you ever do one of those trips like to Poland, like a March of the Living, there are all these trips you can go on and like learn about the Holocaust, visit concentration camps. Auschwitz is obviously like a museum now. And one of the craziest parts of that trip is they'll show you how like all these there's so many different facilities that were used to like kill and you know enslave jews and so many of them are like literally in the middle of a suburb

like you're standing in what used to be like a gas chamber and right across the street is like a nice suburban, you know, street with five homes on it. And people used to just chill while all that was going on. Yeah. Also like the last count, I think it was like the New York Times discovered that there were 40,000 concentration in death camps across Europe during World War II.

Like that's not something that like a few crazy people cook up. No, and it's not like this is like mass production. People are okay with it. Like it's, it's wild to think about. And also like, you don't just go from like Hitler being elected to death camps. Like there's an almost 10 year period where like, it's all of these small things that happen along the way that nobody stops or nobody speaks out against that allow for you to get to that final solution well we've got bravo con concentration camps here for you today and that's what you can expect at the morning toast the unexpected the unexpected but that's what happens when you're

a reader like you're just expanding your horizons constantly expanding your horizons so there was a lot of news that came out of that book what was it called again the only woman in the room marie benedict fabulous uh historical fiction writer also wrote personal librarian chef's kiss there was a ton of news that came out of bravo con so we're going to talk about all of that and just uh the general musings from the weekend, lots going on. And then we also have House of the Dragon recap at the end of today's episode, and a little Potomac. There's really nothing going on in Potomac, so it'll be a 40-second recap.

But House of the Dragon, second to last, the penultimate. I love that word. The penultimate is always fucking snatched. We had the ninth out of 10th episode of House of the Dragon last night, so of course your girlies are going to be recapping that for you. At the end of today's episode, you truly don't want to miss it.

No, you don't. So without further ado. Where are you? Bruno misses his auntie. Where is Doo? What did he do all weekend? Do do do do do, I love you. Theo was at his grandparents. Do do do do do, I'm happy for Doo. Can't wait till he's with his auntie. Do-do-do-do-do, I need brew. We need to discuss when I'm coming to you. Do-do-do-do-do, brew loves you. He said, where's my auntie?

Okay, I know this is probably like not podcast fodder, but I don't need to pack any food for Theo, right? You still have that big bag or did Bruno eat all of it? He ate some of it, but you don't need to pack. Also, I meant to send you a picture this week and I forget why I don't need to pack any food for Theo right you still have that big bag or did Bruno eat all of it he had some of it but uh you don't need to pack also I meant to send you a picture this weekend I forget why I didn't Bruno went into your bed like I I caught him there it was like pitch black you're kidding he like ran out I turned on the lights he was like getting into the pillows it's like unmade because brew was looking for you leave it yeah I'm shook I know I I meant to send you the picture also speaking of I'm shook

there's a new episode of good guys which there is every Monday but today Ben was in LA last week so they recorded a bunch of episodes together and the one they recorded today has Cody Co on it which is like look at them getting premium like a-list guests one month into podcasting I guess it's the power of Josh Peck probably probably. So check that out. It's anywhere you get your podcast. It's up right now. I listened to it last night. I was cracking up because they're all like, well, Cody is engaged, but they're all like, you know, married guys. Yeah. And Ben was saying the funniest thing. He was like, I am so grateful to be married because like I was the biggest loser before I got married. Like my wife totally saved me. And Josh was like,

well, why do you think you were a loser? And Ben was like, because I had no confidence. Like I couldn't get any girls. Like I literally thought I was like an ugly, like I had no confidence. And he's like, well now,

like I have so much confidence. Like my wife gives me so much confidence. Like if I was single, I'd be slaying. It was a really good conversation. And Cody's just the best. So check that out. That's really sweet.

It was sweet. They're like, cause you know what? They really are like the good guys. They were just talking about how like married life is awesome. Like they're so cute. That's really cute.

I'm going to listen to it but I feel like that's a really good message to get out there. I feel like the good guys are good role models for men. And it's not what you typically hear. You know, all we hear is like about

how monogamy is not natural from all these like celebrities. No, I'm going to go get some pussy this weekend. And they all have like open marriages and like. Yeah. No, they're making monogamy cool. I love that. And if there's like a guy that you're talking to and like you want him to like start kind

of settling down, maybe maturing, suggest good guys. I think it'll really help like that, you know, late 20s guy bachelor who's like maybe close to transitioning into like a settling down period of his life. I think it could help. Send them the good guys pod. Oh my God. I love, I love the work that they're doing. So now without further ado, here are the fast five stories that you need to know on this glorious Monday. I like that. Today's episode is brought to you by Clinique. Thank you Clinique for sponsoring today's episode. Their first foundation is designed to be the last step in your skincare

routine. It's the even better clinical serum foundation. It is formulated with three serum technologies and it visibly reduces dark spots, it brightens and it hydrates your skin. So Clinique is obviously like a skincare brand that you can trust. And I love when makeup and skincare collide because they really should. If you're going to be putting all the schmutz on your face all day, it might as well be working in your favor. And that's why the Clinique Clinical Serum Foundation is fabulous because it's built with skincare technology inside of it. And in as little as eight weeks, a lot of people had even more toned skin, radiant skin,

and smoother after their makeup is removed. Calling it a foundation doesn't really do it justice because it's a clinical foundation built with three serum technologies, and it doesn't just cover your skin. It completes your regimen by visibly correcting, hydrating, and smoothing the look of skin with every wear. Also, the packaging is really sustainable because it is made of glass. So the glass bottle can be recycled. You just remove the cap and the pump and then the glass bottle goes in the recycling bin. It's also just stunning. Like if you have a vanity, my thing is, you know, see-through. So I don't like to buy ugly makeup products. And the Clinique foundation is like this stunning glass bottle. It's giving like

rich coastal grandmother. And it's something you could be really proud to have on your vanity. You don't have to tuck it away like some of those ugly other foundations. So the hydrating formula is buildable. It has a medium to full coverage with a satin finish. It has a feather light weight texture, 24-hour color true wear, and it is oil-free, waterproof, sweat and humidity resistant. It's non-acnegenic, non-caking, non-settling and creasing, non-pouring and non-streaking. One of the best parts is that it comes in 42 shades, which is obviously a huge range

so you can find a shade for yourself. Also, they've got this great technology online. Me and Jackie both did it. It took like four seconds. You can find your shade using the Clinique Clinical Reality Shade Match Science. So it's a virtual try-on. It was hella easy. Like I thought it was one of the best shade matches I've gotten without being in the store. And it was fabulous. Don't call it makeup. It is skincare just in your shade. Find your shade today at Clinique.com. Today's episode is also sponsored by Away.

I feel like I get a new one every couple of months because I just need more. I got one for Ben recently. Then I actually left one at Olivia's house because I just feel like when I go down to Florida, I'm always going to the mall. And then I just need a suitcase. So I have one in Olivia's garage. It's fabulous. I also think they've been using it behind my back, which is fine.

I'm not upset. God forbid they ask, but it's garage. It's fabulous. I also think they've been using it behind my back, which is fine. I'm not upset. God forbid they ask, but it's fine.

in the middle that has like a little zipper. And I feel like that's a great place to put your dirty undies, but to each their own. Obviously they have four wheels that are 360 degree spinner wheels. It guarantees a smooth roll, even through the most hectic of airports like LaGuardia, which is now covered front to back in carpet, which is a disgrace.

That's awaytravel.com slash toast. story is a big bravo con recap the biggest headlines moments exclusives etc in no particular order here's an article from in touch weekly with some of the biggest moments that we'll break down first the new roni cast was revealed real houses pleasantly surprised yeah real houses of new york not legacy this is the new reboot with fresh cast has been revealed uh cast members are Uba Hassan, Giselle Tank, Erin Leachie, Jenna Lyons, Cy Da Silva, and Britt Whitfield as well as Lizzy Sivetsky but she wasn't at BravoCon because of the Jewish holiday so I obviously I feel like a lot of people have known that Lizzy Sivetsky is going to be on Roni I feel like she was one of the first people cast and I think maybe some of these girls are her friends.

I think the big shocker for everyone was Jenna Lyons, former president of J.Crew. She's like kind of like a fashion icon. Yeah. And that's like a pretty good get, honestly. Like a pretty good get. That was the only name that I knew personally. But I think a lot.

Besides Lizzy. Besides Lizzy. I checked out a lot of the other women. I think all of them, some of them have followings. They all have premium content. Yeah I feel I have I feel optimistic me too because even though I hadn't heard of them I did like a little deep dive on what they all do for a living their husbands and it was giving rich and it was giving young and it was giving social media and I feel like that's kind of a show people have been like begging for from Bravo. And, you know, the Bravo fandom, like I was reading the comments on Bravo's Instagram,

like people are so negative because they're used to the OGs. They're like, bring Sonya back. Well, Sonya probably is going to be on Legacy. So like, let's not forget that. What I did find interesting about this was this was an official, you know, statement that Leah McSweeney is not a part of the new show I feel like there was still some question as to whether because she's young and hip and cool well she said on the toast that she wants to be on Legacy of course those are her friends and like that's

gonna be it's gonna take a while for this show to get its legs a new show is always hard to get off the ground so she wants to be with the established girlies. Yeah, what I also like about this cast is like, I feel like there were so many names throwing out, so many obvious choices for people who are New York, social media, young housewives. But these, for most of us, are all fresh faces. And I like that they're doing something different

and not just like going with like a safe person because they have followers or what. I would have been happy with some of those choices, but like I'm here for the fact that they didn't go down that route. Yeah, but I also like that they have like a big name, you know, like they need that. Yeah, gentle lines.

I think that's really cool. I also think it's so admirable that like, you know, obviously they all went to BravoCon. They had a picture with Andy. It was like a big thing. And Lizzie Sivetsky didn't go because it's... Chach. She's meeting out Sarah.

Yeah. I forget which holiday it is. It's, like, kind of a niche one that I don't really participate in. But that's, like, hella admirable because, like, it could be Yom Kippur, but, like, they want me to be the star of a show. Like, gotta go, you know? Like, yeah. It's cool.

She seems scrupled. I've actually met her. She's a lovely, lovely girl. Scrupled. For sure. She uh scrupled I've actually met her she's lovely lovely girl scrupled for sure scrupled so that's very cool um I honestly I was ready to like come and be a hater but it seems like they did a pretty good job honestly yeah no I'm optimistic as stated I've ever Bravo has needed for a while I feel like and we are always the type who are like wipe the slate clean, need fresh. This is bad, bad, bad.

So like they're trying something new. They actually answered some of the cries of some of the fans. And so let's give them the opportunity for to see how it is. You know, you can't just complain all the time. No. And Andy did one of the events yesterday was it was actually at the same time as mine. So I was like kind of like sad because I'm like, no, it's going to come to mind. It was Ask Andy where basically he just was like free free-for-all like whatever you want to know

um and they were talking about Roni and you know all the people who are at BravoCon are like fans of the OG show and they're like complaining and Andy was like I hear you but like the numbers don't lie this was the lowest rated season in Housewives history not just New York of all franchises like something had to be done and I feel like Bravo's been on in Housewives history, not just New York, of all franchises. Like something had to be done. And I feel like Bravo's been on this Housewives journey for like 15 years. And the people who started watching it, like everyone's aging up in the last 15 years. And if they want to continue to get new younger audience members, like they have to evolve a little bit, you know?

Right. At the end of the day, this is still a business, you know? And it's not just like what a handful of people want to see on their TV. Like there's advertisers. You need to bring in people who are watching. You know, a lot of advertisers want to advertise to a certain demographic of people. So if all of your audience is a bit older, that's not going to bring in the premium dollars. Like this is a business and the numbers don't lie.

And I like that he said like, pretty much what he's saying is you guys are the reasons why there's no Roni as it is anymore because you guys didn't watch. By the way, you know what I thought was so interesting? How Ramona was non-existent in BravoCon. Was she there? I don't think so.

Maybe she was celebrating Shemini Atzeret. No, like a good one um let me just check because I was thinking yesterday I'm like where is Ramona I feel like oh no she was at one day ago she went to like a party oh she went to I'm sorry I'm totally wrong I'm sorry she was there just didn't make it feel like she wasn't it looked like she wasn't participating I was like consuming content all weekend and I didn't see her even once oh that's so interesting that's so not like Ramona okay here's some more news that we got some spinoff news Luann and Sonya are getting their own spinoff series called Welcome to Crappy Lake which is set to premiere in 2023 we knew that they were doing a simple life type show cool uh Teresa and Louie are having a wedding special following the show's

next season. Lala Kent spilled on her sex life saying I'm having the best sex of my life which I mean compared to my old relationship. Oh, I thought you were

talking about a spinoff. No, no, no. Oh, sorry. Leva's spinoff too about Republic. Yeah, and they aired the trailer for Leva's spinoff

during the last part of the Southern Charm reunion which I did watch. Oh, so it was already out spinoff during the last part of the Southern Charm reunion, which I did watch. Oh, so it was already out. I feel like the last BravoCon, like the big announcements were like kind of huge. Yeah. And like these announcements were like kind of like. A lot of them, there was already like whispers.

We kind of already knew the Roni cast. We knew about Luann and Sona. We knew Leva. We knew that Louis and Teresa were having a show. I mean, that's just common sense. But I do feel like this BravoCon was so much bigger than the last one. Especially in terms of the breadth of people they invited from Bravo. Who wasn't invited?

I feel like it was a little bit more selective, but Reza was there. You thought it was selective? No, the prior year, I felt like it was way more selective. Whereas this year, Reza and MJ who I adore and I'm not complaining but their show was literally canceled you know like every cast member of Southern Charm even if they're not main cast members were there every single person was there and I wonder like does Bravo pay for all of them to come yes I think they pay for everyone's flight and hotel I don't think you get paid yeah to participate but you if you have a

business you get to have a booth there and you make I mean it's 10,000 people who bought tickets so 10,000 people who are obsessed with you wanting to buy whatever you know your robin's hats or you know like yeah it's a it's a they really it's a very smart business idea yes then also that I think one of the biggest news uh from the weekend was Luke from Summer House and Ashley Darby like flirting and holding hands and leaving together out the door. Like even if it's just for the night, like Ashley Darby deserves to have some fun. Yeah. Really cute.

Really cute. And of course, like everyone is talking about Teresa and Melissa because they are fully on the outs. They had to split up the Jersey panels. They did not see each other. And then everyone, like everyone was staying pretty much at like the same hotel and late night,

Melissa, no, no. What's her name? Jennifer Aiden threw a drink at Joe Gorga. They weren't even filming like real life. So like, shit's bad.

Shit's bad. But I gotta be honest, like that's not gonna work um when you have two cast members who actually can't be in the same room together won't even do a panel and by the way like this is like the head the networks event like and they can't do a panel together how are they gonna film the next season together we can't have a disjointed season where there's like two groups it doesn't work like they're gonna have for the sake of like their jobs they're gonna have to

figure out a way to talk. Yeah. Which is also a nice thing about the show because it will force them eventually to talk. Whereas like if they were both off the show starting from now, they would never speak again. Yeah. And that reminds me of Kathy and Kyle. I saw a couple interviews.

Kyle said, you know, we're sisters. Like we're we're we're fine. Like we're working on it. Like we're going to be fine. Kathy said I I will she literally said point blank to an interviewer I will not be returning next season if it's the exact same cast and he was like I assume you mean Lisa she said yes so she's literally making an ultimatum between the network and I feel like the network is gonna choose Kathy like I think the network is gonna choose Kathy especially Kathy was being so reasonable she was like by the way and I know like I'm just a friend of so like it

doesn't matter right but people like it's unprecedented how much they love her they love her so much included Lisa Rinna got booed when she was walking on stage but I feel like that's you know Rinna kind of like she doesn't mind that's like. No, I thought she handled it beautifully. She did. And she gave everyone the finger and she's laughing it off. I'm sure somewhere down, like it does hurt her. Oh my God, that's my worst nightmare. I think for her, like she'd rather be booed vehemently

than be like Paul Reilly clapping. You know what I mean? Like she likes to have an impact, but it is kind of like sad. And so you could see Lisa Rinna is not beloved right now. And Kathy Hilton is unprecedented. They did the conga line for her at the DirecTV party. Obsessed. No, Kathy.

And by the way, the thing I love most about Kathy Hilton, it happened to me this morning. Like every couple of days, she like stalks me. And she likes every single one of the posts that she missed since the last time. She's so supportive. It's so amazing. And another tidbit.

I have to shout out to Bryce Sander, who works at Entertainment Tonight. Like, he was the correspondent on the carpet. And every clip that I saw that was, like, full of pertinent information, he was talking to this person. He was asking pertinent questions. Yeah, because on the first night, he was like, you know, Andy, there's, like, a million conspiracy theories that, like, the big announcement this year is, like, you're retiring

and Craig Conover is taking over for you. I saw that. And Andy was like, you know, Andy, there's like a million conspiracy theories that like the big announcement this year is like you're retiring and Craig Conover is taking over for you. I saw that. And Andy was like, um, no. And even if I was like, why Craig? Like, I love Craig, but he's not one of our, you know, he's not known as one of our best correspondents. Right.

And he's like, no, I'm not retiring. And honestly, I have felt like in the last couple of years, Andy's enthusiasm for his job has gone down a little bit. But I felt like he was like he had the best weekend of his life like everything I saw he was having so much fun he really did like he did the most this weekend I felt like his he has a reinvigorated love for what he does yeah that's nice to see he also Andy said that there's no Kathy Hilton meltdown footage um he said you know that I'm a shade assassin I'm going to want to show it if I was having a producer if it was if the footage was on a producer phone we would show it trust me yeah no I believe that

they don't have any footage but that's unacceptable yeah also Kyle Cook revealed his Bravo Hall pass he said I'm gonna go super controversial on this one maybe Naomi from Southern Charm that's like a little too close I still yeah I agree I agree. But you know what? Her and Amanda kind of look like so. Amanda can take that as a compliment is that he still wants Amanda. I guess. You know? But still, that's like kind of weird.

They ask some like really weird questions. I just saw a clip of Erika Jayne. Someone, they asked like who's going to be the next couple to split up. And she said, first she didn't want to answer. And then she said Dorit and PK. But you also have to think of who are the couples on the show? Kyle and Mauricio, Crystal and Rob, Dorit and PK. Here's a personal anecdote.

Are there any others? Of Dorit. Let me tell you. I went over to Kyle right before the panel. I was like, hey, girly, I'm your moderator. And she was like, oh, hi. And then Dorit was there and Dorit's hoop earring fell out. And Kyle was like, Dorit, she was wearing like this huge poofy skirt.

She's like, Dorit, your earring's on the floor. You're about to step on it. So, you know, I'm a young, able-bodied girly and she was wearing like this huge ball gown. So I bent down. I didn't, she didn't ask. I just bent down, picked up her earring and gave it to her. When I tell you she did not even look me in the eyes or say thank you I'm like oh my god it was like but it wasn't rude she was like like thank you are the words you're looking for wench

I did see Karen Huger too and I was like just about to defend her I was just about to defend her marriage no i'm sure her marriage is fine but uh rude rude yeah thank you like i just bent down you didn't even ask me i don't even know you i picked up your earring that's rude rude uh and i'm guessing that erica and dureet aren't chummy currently based on i didn't see them together I saw them both separately um Dorit and Kyle like are totally best friends like you can tell they were together even though they weren't like on the same panel they were walking around together um but it's just like everyone came with like their own posse and it was like literally like standoffs like it was so interesting

it's so interesting even like there was that one night where everyone was on stage and it just like turns into like this big, like Jerry's ego. It was like Jerry Springer. Like they're all just like, Oh, and it's like, but everyone there like thinks that they're the star of this show. And yes.

And like, everyone's like so dressed to the nines. It's so intense. Like the stakes are so high and they're also like shading each other. And it's like nonsense shade. It's like a circus. It like a circus it's a circus it is I am looking forward to the Watched Reppin's live specials that they taped because I think those episodes are really good and fun yeah Caroline Manzo was there that's like another example of like how why they cast the net yeah so it was a you know a very eventful

weekend I think Bravo put on a great oh event I think people had a lot of fun story was that like the people who had bought tickets were complaining about um the way that it was run there was like some footage that was out and then people were comparing it to Fyre Festival which is one of my least favorite comparisons because like Blink-182 never took the stage at Fyre Festival, yet all of these panels did go off. But there were really long lines for the bathroom. There was a lot of chaos, I think, for people who bought tickets. So that's also been circulating. A long line for the bathroom, that's not something to complain about.

It's annoying, for sure. Anytime I go to a Broadway play, anytime I go to a sports game, it's really annoying. It's not inhumane, and that's not Fyre Festival at all. And I walked around yesterday and it seemed like they really like they had a million people working there. I didn't experience it for three days, so I don't know for a fact, but it looked like it was pretty well put together. Yeah. It was just like people said, quote, waiting in lines for panels only for there to be stampedes in no chairs, people camping out all day to not let

others in no use of the RFID bands it's a shit show in a video okay users sounds like hordes of Bravo fans racing forward and ducking under barriers at the entrance on Friday that sounds like the chaos is because of the

attendees not because of Bravo right like it's it said Bravo had stanchions and a line and nobody followed it that's like Bravo can't make people act behave right yeah they had stanchions right there was a line for a reason like they knew there was going to be a lot of people so that's like kind of not their fault I will never remember the word stanchion I know I can't believe I just did no you said it I know I said it's believe I just did. No, you said it. I know.

I said I can't believe I just did. It's like not in my vocabulary and it like refuses to enter. Stay there. I understand. Like you could ask me tomorrow like what are the things that they had to snake the line. I'll ask you tomorrow. Ask me tomorrow and I won't know the word. Fab.

See you tomorrow. See you tomorrow. Okay, so that's your BravoCon recap. Hope everyone had a great weekend. Yeah, truly. truly next up the big news of the weekend hayley bieber poses with selena gomez weeks after addressing rumors that she quote stole justin bieber so hayley bieber is keeping an eye out for selena at the academy museum museum of motion pictures is second museum yeah. Second annual gala on Saturday night in LA.

So not only did they take this one picture together, there's like multiple pictures. There's a hug. There's a hug. The way that like, it's not just one staged photo. It's like once they're sitting, once they're standing, one, Selena has her hand around Hailey's thigh. Yep.

Like the way that it's multiple photos, like I'm so overjoyed. And what's so funny, do you remember this event from last year? We have to watch this episode from last year because we were like, what the fuck is this? And that was where Kaya Gerber went with Jacob Elordi.

Jacob Elordi. We were like, what is this random event? Why is it literally the Met Gala? Why is it so A-list? Why is everyone looking so fashionable and stylish? And now this year, everyone again again is like what is this event it's the second annual fabulous event for fabulous people and a fabulous press up for Kaya Gerber I think the Gerbers put on the event

so that Kaya can always have an amazing moment because like a moment she's two for two 100% it looked so fabulous of course the Selina thing eclipsed the entire event. And I'm so glad. And I really hope that like anyone who's ever said the words Jelena in the last five years officially shuts the fuck up. Yeah. And I hope this is the thing to do. And I don't know what more could be done aside from like Selena, you know, saying a whole thing.

But I think that would also just like stir it up and make it more real so I think them just like being girls taking pictures they clearly had more than just that one moment they had a conversation and they seem to be happy and enjoying each other's company and you love to see that I'm so happy about this like I really can't put into words like I know it's not plausible that they would ever become like really good friends but like they're just like making peace. But I just I love these two so much. And I think it's in their like, you know, what's the word?

Setting a fabulous example for young women. I love these two with my whole heart and I'm I'm thrilled. I'm overjoyed. Yes. Nature is healing. Nature is healing. And they both looked absolutely stunning. Just really gorgeous.

Really, really gorgeous. So hopefully we'll be seeing Selena and Hailey Bieber's bathroom. Oh. Et cetera, et cetera. Totally. Not anytime soon, but you never know. You got to start somewhere. And you know where I'm going to start?

Megan Thee Stallion says she's got to take a break following her home burglary. So Megan Thee Stallion performed on SNL this weekend

and while she was in New York, her home was burglarized. What the fuck thieves took off with 300 to 400 thousand dollars in cash electronics and jewelry police have not made an arrest yet but they do have video footage of the incident so she wrote on Twitter saying material things can be replaced but I'm glad everyone is safe hottiesotties, I'm really sorry, but after SNL, I really got to take a break. I'm so tired physically and emotionally. Oh my God, what the fuck? Like, because I was just watching the Bling Ring documentary,

it just feels like very prevalent in my mind right now. Like, what the fuck? Like, why can't people stop robbing other people? Like, go leave everyone fucking alone. Yeah, yeah. That is so sad because it's not about the material about the material item celebrities have insurance and of course whatever the sense of peace that gets robbed from you when someone invades your home and the fear it instills in you is so crippling and nobody feels bad for you because you're a celebrity but like I do because I'm a human being and I think like if you're

if you're ever inclined to rob someone's house like you're fucking delusional stop. Stop. Stop. Right. And also, I feel like, you know, we talk about this. The news cycle moves on. But this person like lives with this trauma for a very long time. And nobody cares to acknowledge it because like, you know, you think celebrities don't deserve rights because they're rich. Like that's the culture like, oh, they're fine. They'll just, you know, get more security and buy another thing. And it's not about that. No, it's not about that. Anyways, I'm glad she's taking a break if she needs one. Normalize taking breaks when you're at the height of your career. Like it's okay. We will all still be here waiting and be fans when you come back. I know. I just feel like when you're part of that hustle culture, you get such bad anxiety because like staying relevant is the key to your success. And so like taking time off

and stepping back from the spotlight is literally like the scariest thing you can do, I think, when you're building your career. Oh, for sure. But if you are like supremely talented, the cream always rises and like you'll be back doing your thing in no time. And you just have to like trust in yourself that you could do that. But you also like can't get to where you need to be

if you are running on no fuel. No, and Meg Thee Stallion, I think, is like like a mainstay I think she'll be like in history right one of the biggest female rappers of all time exactly so she could take a break she can take a break and we will all still be here ready and waiting when she's ready to come back I was asleep during her SNL so I didn't get to watch but I heard rave reviews and she did both I think people who can do both are so it's like such a flex it's such a flex those are like the coolest episodes it's like 100% yours yeah no it's just like cool like yeah I'm known for my singing but like I can be funny and act and read off a cue card like it's such a why and reading off a cue card is hard I was saying that seriously okay

it is hard it would be easier to memorize it honestly like cue cards you have to like look at the camera but then also at your cue card. That's true. That was not me being shady. I'm sorry. No, I was not knocking that. It is a true talent to like act while reading a cue card. I just think it's like such a flex on all the other hosts. Like it's the coolest thing.

Yeah. But I think that moment is ruined a bit when your home is burglarized because you left town. Just a tad. Just a tad. Just a tad. But I'm glad she's taking a break and more people should take breaks. Maybe she could call Harry Styles and let him know that we're taking breaks.

He's got to take a break. My policeman, HSLOT. You know who finally took a break after? Ariana Grande. Yeah. She took a very nice long break. And look, we're so ready for her whenever she's there was there was a two three year process where like she would not take a break and she was

going through so much in her personal life and it was really sad to watch and she was breaking down on stage and she just would not stop it's like someone let this girl take a nap she got married and finally took a nap and i feel like she's been like off the radar for like over a year and I feel like it's so good for her and she does REM beauty she does and she's doing nothing but yeah but it's like low-key stuff that lets her sleep in her own bed at night right and that's also different than doing like an album and a tour at the same time and I feel like it's been so good for I feel like she's also working on Wicked rehearsals right now which is in LA and she gets to still be at home with her husband she has like a really good work-life balance. Yeah. I can't talk about Wicked because it's coming out in far, four years, way too far and in two parts. So like, I don't even want to get my hopes up.

Okay. We don't have to talk about that. But something I just wanted to say is, you know, once every year I am reminded that Ariana Grande is married. Like it's so random and I always forget. I always remember. It's like always one of the first things I remember about her I don't know why I think it's hard because he's like a nobody you know which is great which is great you love a businessman though speaking of marriage are you ready for our next story yes Robert Kraft marries Dana Blumberg in star-studded surprise wedding he's added another ring New England Patriotsots owner robert craft married dr dana blumberg in a star-studded surprise wedding in new york city on friday night page six has learned uh

the billionaire and 47 81 year old billionaire and 47 year old doctor invited guests to a kickoff and a touchdown party at the hall de lumiere in lower manhattan and told them to dress festively but did not disclose that they'd be tying the knot so people came to this party not knowing what to expect turns out it is a wedding they had it like being rich is so sick yeah a few fun facts one Elton John performed and they had met Elton John a few years ago and like Elton had said like whenever you guys do get married I would like to perform for you as a gift and so then Elton gave them a few dates that like worked for him and that's how they chose not them planning their whole wedding around Elton John

right they also had it at the Hall de Lumiere which right now is showing the Gustav Klimt exhibition which is the woman in gold you know her is that supposed to mean something to me yeah you haven't seen the movie the woman in gold no one thing about me is like I know nothing about art like do you know the story about the woman in gold I'm assuming it was a woman who wore gold okay let me connect let me give you just a brief synopsis because it's a it's a good story so uh Klimt is an artist and the woman in gold is one of his pieces he won a prominent jewish family commissioned it in the uh like over 100 years ago and it passed down through their family but then when the nazis took over they stole that piece of art after the war the family like took like took the trial to

try and get their art back that's a picture of literally their aunt adele and it's theirs they bought it. Oh, you know what? This does sound familiar. Helen Mirren plays the surviving daughter. And so Klimt is the artist who made that piece and his exhibition is displaying right now in Lower New York.

So the whole, they rented out the exhibition for five days. So then the whole wedding like was surrounded in Klimt's stuff. That's beautiful. Beautiful. It's beautiful. Beautiful. It's a great movie. Check it out.

You know what's so funny about this wedding is like obviously you see them. He's like 1,000 years old and she's like this vivacious blonde. Like she is almost 50. Like it's like not that crazy. No, it's not that crazy. And she's a doctor. She's like New York's top ophthalmologist. She's not like a harlot.

Right. It's not what you think you're looking at. It's kind of like a really appropriate marriage. And romantic. When you look at them, you don't see it because she's like blonde and like really fit

and like she looks 25. Right. But no, they're... It's kind of romantic, yeah. It's really sweet. If I wanted to do a surprise wedding, I'd be like, hi guys, I'm throwing a party.

Like no one would come. That's the thing. I'd be like, wait, no, it's my wedding. And then they'd be like, oh yeah, sure, I'll come. You know what I mean? Right, no, but he must throw a great party right Tom Brady was there no Giselle yeah so low it's like it's real like I know I'm accepting it in my own time I've just yeah I've just entered the stage of acceptance yeah

which is good and I think this I don't think they intentionally did it this way but like this slow rollout is giving me time to process as opposed to if they just all of a sudden one day put out a statement I would be like what yeah yeah yeah like shock yeah shock and awe yeah so really sweet wedding news happy for you know that I am are you ready for a fifth and final story which is like some confusing divorce news yes so people put out a story yesterday that uh it wasn't just people but there was like an official report it went to every outlet Monique Samuels and her husband Chris Samuels are divorcing period like no questions asked I was so upset when I saw it like I literally wanted to cry for the Samuels is but then Monique and Chris went on Instagram and appeared to hit back at rumors that they were splitting after 10 years of marriage she flashed their wedding bands in the video that she posted um she said that she had just gotten back from hiking all day

and then turned to Chris and asked Chris what do you have to say about all this and he said shop Mila Eve in response referring to Monique's store then Monique flashes her wedding ring directly. Shop Mila Eve that's funny. That is funny directly in front of the camera. That's literally Jackie that's so us. No so us but then she says no better source than the actual source y'all already know how I roll I give my own damn exclusives and then she prompted fans to tune into her YouTube show Monday evening okay I'm like glad they're not divorced but like I do feel like they might have been like poking us like like this is giving PR I feel like they might be trying to just save the announcement till their show tonight on YouTube because oh I mean I guess we'll find out tonight

we'll find out tonight I feel like I'll be so upset they're not like they're just flashing their rings like and they're saying they're kind of like joking about it but they didn't say explicitly like where yeah but they're together in their house chilling like married people do yeah divorce people don't act like that most of the time right I I mean I'll be so upset I will be heartbroken I will be so upset the way that like I feel like they are literally picture perfect American family like please no please no first T'Challa and now this no no we can't handle it I hope that tonight's Monday um YouTube is just a fun nothing meaning Literally like mindless episode of whatever it is that they do on their YouTube channel.

Yeah. Not them just pushing off the news till they can announce it themselves. Because she said, I give my own damn exclusives. Oh, I didn't see it like that. But like. It's just an alternative way of thinking about it. I feel like it's fine. Like, I feel like they're totally fine.

Like, I believe in love. Me too. Me too. Me too. And that's just a little bit about me. Well, those are the past five stories. Feel as though you needed to know them. You certainly needed to know them, but you also need to know our thoughts on the penultimate,

I can't stop saying that word, episode of The House of the Dragon, which premiered on HBO last night and is brought to you by Figs. I have to tell you, the day of my show in Nashville, I went to the cheesecake factory for lunch, of course, you know, eating the local cuisine. And I ran into like a million toasters on their lunch breaks and they were all wearing figs. I'm

like, did you use code? They're like toast. Yeah, I did. It was so funny every cause they all work in like medical sales and you know, uh, med spas. So like they all are wearing like medical sales and, you know, med spas. So like they all are wearing scrubs. And like it's the Hermes of the medical industry. Obsessed. So everybody has something they look forward to in the fall. If you're in healthcare, there's something extra exciting on the horizon for you because the brand new fall colors and styles from Figs just dropped.

If you haven't heard, Figs makes the comfiest scrubs around, and they are toaster tested, toaster approved. They're engineered with innovative technical comfort technology to be ridiculously soft and incredibly durable. So you're always ready to take on the day in style. So their scrubs are 100% awesome because they focus on design, function, and comfort. So they're super, super soft. They have a proprietary four-way stretch fabric. So if you've got to do a lunge, you know, bend over to the cabinet, bend over to hear a patient's heartbeat, you're being taken care of in your FIGS. The material is moisture-wicking and anti-wrinkle and anti-odor, thanks to the Silvador antimicrobial

technology. So you know part of being in healthcare is working super long shifts, and sometimes after those shifts, like, you're not going to smell the best. But FIGS is out here protecting you and those pits pits they have up to 20 pockets on some of their styles stethoscope in band-aid in I don't know any other like medical supplies um ointment ointment yes and you can also customize your figs with text and icon embroidery if you don't know where to start you can pick up a set in one of their new fall colors that are super great and will look awesome all season long their popular core scrubs never go out of style and are easy to mix

and match I'm pretty sure that's what I saw all the toasters at the Cheesecake Factory wearing very kind of slimming black on most of them and it was the core scrub figs believes that the awesome humans in health care deserve awesome scrubs to match head to wear figs.com use code toast to get 15 off your first order that's w-e-a-r-f-i-g-s.com promo code toast great okay so the morning after the king dies and it's like all hell has broken loose they're being so fucking evil the high tower is like locking everyone in their rooms trying to come up with a plan so that Rhaenyra doesn't find out that he's dead and they can successfully usurp the throne before sunrise yes only problem the king cannot be found right what did the little boy run and tell his mom. I believe that the king was dead. But Alicent knew. No. He didn't tell his mom. He told

the snitch Talia. And then Talia went to go tell him. Got it. Got it. That's what I think. Or maybe that like his, uh, that Aegon wasn't there. Like where's dad? You know? Oh, that's good too. I don't think it really matters. I was just like waiting. I thought it was like Aegon wasn't there. Like, where's dad? You know? Oh, that's good too. I don't think it really matters. I was just like waiting. I thought it was like Aegon did something horrible. Or I thought maybe it was a flashback to a young Aegon. Like I didn't know because the episode just started with that little kid.

Yeah, it was a little confusing. I don't think there's anything more to it, but I just didn't know like what was being told. So no, you know what it was? You're right. Your first thing was right. He told Talia that the king is dead because then talia told alicent and the spy master wormwood a whore bad actress

bad actress worse than ever last night worse than ever even though i did appreciate her mission that oh my gosh ring of child fighters sharpening their teeth and their fingernails that was horrible and Agon is really really sick really really and he has bastards all over town I so agree in one moment I was like oh my god what are these like child abusers doing in King's Landing and then in the next moment like she's advocating for them and I was like thank you queen queen queen no and it's- And if Otto goes back on it, like not that I have anything left to give to him, but like-

His word means nothing, honestly. Yeah. The way that Aegon does not want to be king would be a horrible king and everyone knows how sick, twisted, unethical and disgusting he is. Yet we're all bending over backwards like killing all these nice people

just so Aegon could take the throne. It's so stupid to me. I hate the fucking high towers. Alison, at least like expresses. She has a conscience. Yeah. She's not all evil.

I actually think she's like struggling with all of this. Yeah. I think that here's what I, regardless of if the Sarah's wasis was uh said what he said before he died the hot uh otto and his crew was doing it anyway anyway so that's good to know it didn't change that much the only thing it changed was allison's participation because if he hadn't said that she would have been going to bat for rain era but since he said that she's on the fence you know i know it's episode nine and

we should have done this from the beginning but I'd like to um crown a weenie of the week every week because last night it was Sir Kristen the way I hate this fucking loser the way he killed that guy for speaking facts speaking motherfucking facts and being the only person in the room with ethics and morals I hate Sir Christian Cole so much. He's obsessed with Allison. He's such a follower loser. First it was Rainiera. No scribbles.

He's fucking pussy whipped. He definitely has some like mommy issues. Yes. Because he doesn't have a mind of his own and he's so fucking fanatic and extreme. Like get a life, loser. So extreme. It's like calm down.

It's not that deep. It's just a show, man. Yeah, no, he's such a fucking loser. Like it's like calm down it's not that deep it's just a show man yeah no he's such a fucking loser like even the way like a couple episodes ago he started that fight um with the harrenhal guy in the yard over the prince like he's such a loser i'm so glad also they recast agon again right this is our first time meeting this agon no he was there last week yeah i remember i had the other agon though like two episodes ago the one who was jerking off two episodes ago into the window yes yes that's why i think we saw this guy last that's what i was expecting to see under the table no i that guy looked like kind of familiar like i'd seen him before okay okay good

um the only the good news is, though, about Aegon is like, he's the only one keeping us from Aemond on the throne. I know. I thought Aemond was going to kill Aegon when he had the chance.

Aemond would be worse than Aegon. Aemond is a Joffrey. Yeah, I think Aemond is evil and I think Aegon is stupid. I also know, I like that Viserys is being called Viserys the Peaceful.

Because that is what he was. That is what he was. Even though I did feel like the second he got crowned, me and Ben were like guessing. I thought he was like going to kill himself. Because like this is his worst nightmare come true. But then when he heard people cheering for him. Oh, it's literally addictive.

Yeah. I just don't believe that the people in King's Landing give a fuck about who the king is. Like they're all like, I felt like when they were cheering, like they don't believe that the people in King's Landing give a fuck about who the king is. No. Like, they're all, like, I felt like when they were cheering, like, they don't care. No, they do not care. And they say this all the time in Game of Thrones that, like, they don't care. Like, it's all these, like, seven kingdoms who are warring with each other for a seat that doesn't change the lives of the people whatsoever. But, you know, I think they, like, were forced into this place.

Hall. It turns into a pretty good concert. Hey, we have a new king. Rah, rah. He seems excited. We're excited. And I was like, damn, this is addictive. Like, what's his face is about to have, like, a power trip.

And then Yadanti came through. Yadanti! Ben, we were dying. The way I take back every negative thing I've ever said about her. Because now, obviously, she's hopping on her dragon to go alert Rhaenyra about what's gone down. The only thing that was missing was a little Dracarys on these hoes. I know. She could have ended it all right there.

But you know what? That would have been exactly what she was advocating against because she's not evil. No, but she told Alicent, like, obviously, you can't kill Rhaenyra and her children. If she killed Alicent and her children, she's just as bad as what she was trying to avoid. So she would never have done that. It was a really good episode, given the fact that Rainier and Damon were not even in it. And I didn't even get to see my boyfriend last night. Like, that was upsetting.

But it was good nonetheless. It was really good. Only because yet auntie came through. No, that's the thing about aunties. Like, you can always count on them yeah and you might count them out but they're always count out the countess they're always going to be with there for you I wasn't entirely sure whether I think they wanted us to guess for a second if it was going to be Rainice or Rhaenyra um I don't know how Rhaenyra would have found out no but

they showed her hustling down the stairs. Right. And when she looks up when she's in the crowd, I think she realized they're going to the dragon pit. And she was like, thank you. You're taking me exactly where I wanted to go to get my baby boy. Like, remember when she's being like with the mob and she looks up to see the street that they're on?

I didn't know why she was smiling. But she knew right then and there. I thought maybe she finally found her handler. She knew right then and there, they're going to the dragon pit. I can get my dragon. Okay, and let's talk about those two brothers. Like the one that bailed out Rayneese and the two. Obsessed, but like, my God, do they suck at their job?

Like literally he lost Rayneese in the first four seconds of getting her out of the castle. Oh, yeah. But in the previews for next week, which is not a spoiler because they're at war now and Rhaenyra and Daemon are in the episode. The brother who refused to save Aegon

goes to Rhaenyra's side. Pudge is fealty. No, and like when they hanged that man who was trying to escape and go tell rainiera like it was giving like north korea uh yeah that was quite upsetting that was upsetting especially because it's like when the other guys like they stood their ground and they were like we're we stand with rain, the two people who did. And it's like, well, what if one of you just like pretended to and then went back to the other side? And it's like, oh, that's what he did.

That's what would happen. Okay, now we know. Literally. Laris is literally fucking disgusting little finger. I hate him. He needs to be the first to die. The feet. That was new.

That was new. But you had to It makes sense He's giving He's doing all this shit for her Why? Right Right No he's a fucking freak

He's a fucking freak Such a good episode But like Need my girly back Like Rhaenyra Daemon Where are you? Also

The daughter wife Is like a prophet You know You see that She said there's A beast Beneath the boards Yes Apparently in the other episodes wife is like a prophet you know you see that she said there's a beneath a beast beneath the board yes apparently in the other episodes that she was in she was like saying a bunch of stuff that didn't make sense to us but they were all like prophecies she like knows shit what is there's

a beast beneath the floor mean rainies rainies and her beast got it got it like when he was literally beneath the boards oh so pay attention to whatever she's saying got it okay sister slash wife um also the Real Housewives of Potomac was on last night quite literally nothing happened except the way that Ashley and Giselle are being so fucking dramatic I definitely thought it was weird that he sent the message and then once I found out he worked there I'm'm like, that's not weird. I've got to be honest. I didn't watch because I was immensely enjoying my book. And I was like, this is.

You missed nothing. I'm sure it'll be a great season, but like it's a super slow build. Basically, Ashley was posting that she was out all night. And when she woke up the next morning, she had a message from Chris Bassett. Wait, is it Bassett? Bassett? Bassett, right. Because when I say Chris Bassett, and then I say Candice Dillard Bassett? Bassett? Bassett right because when I say

Chris Bassett and then I say Candice Dillard Bassett right good call and when I introduced her at BravoCon last night I said Candice Dillard Bassett Potomac Barbie

she looked so cute I saw whatever he had sent a message like you should have come to the W and that's like a weird message to send your

wife's friend at 3 in the morning but he just took over as the general manager of like their club there. He's trying to make it like cool. And he's trying to get all of Candace's friends to come. So like it's not weird. So Ashley like brought it up and was trying to make it a thing.

And then Giselle was like, you know, last year at the reunion when we broke for like snack, he came into my dressing room and I was all alone and I was really uncomfortable. And he was just complaining about his wife. And Robin was like, did he touch you or do anything? She's like, no. And Robin was like, so he touch you or do anything? She's like, no. And Robin was like, so you're just being dramatic. Like, I was actually proud of Robin for getting her head out of Giselle's ass for two seconds

to being like, you're being so fucking dramatic. Like, they're trying to make it a thing. It's not a thing. And this is not my newfound Candace Dillard beset Stanhood. It's just facts. Like, stop being dramatic. Yeah. That was the only thing that happened.

Then they went and did a dance class with Sharice. And I just fucking hate Sharice. Sharice is back. Yeah. And they, like, she keeps trying to, like, have lunch with Karen Huger. And Karen Huger's not interested. And all the ladies are saying it's because, like, Sharice has, like, some big tea on Karen. And I'm just not interested.

I'm not looking for anyone to expose Karen like she's America's sweetheart like leave her alone yeah leave her alone everyone tries to come for Karen it's like people who come into Beverly Hills and they just go for Sutton like it's not gonna work it's not gonna work for the fans and it's just not gonna work for you um so those were the TV recaps. Right? Yeah. You caught up on Tell Me Lies. I did. I did. I found this episode to be particularly dreadful.

Yes, my patience with the show is wearing thin, honestly. And there's only two more episodes left. How are we going to wrap it all up? I'm glad we got like a villain origin story from Pippa a little bit. Because she was pissing me the fuck off by being such a loser wannabe like pick me girl yeah like when she was like ironically like about the movie she's just like kind of like a loser and yeah that's it that's her truth she is yeah I like her truth and I um I understand I'm team Pippa as opposed to Lucy I mean Lucy's like my least favorite person aside from Steven I know I know I'm just like so over the show. I'm team Pippa as opposed to Lucy. I mean, Lucy's like my least favorite person aside from Steven.

I know, I know. I'm just like so over the show. Like I'm not invested in anyone's relationship except for Brie and Evan and we didn't even get Brie and Evan content. What do we want Brevin? When do we want it? Now.

And we know that they get married. So great. Everyone else can like fuck off. Fuck off. Yeah. I do hope Wrigley could find love too because he really loves Pippa. And I hope.

I know. She needs to like find herself too because he really loves Pippa and I hope I know she needs like find herself is the thing like maybe yeah I think she struggles with her sexuality a little bit yeah and like just knowing like who she is and what she wants but Wrigley like loves so purely and so passionately and he deserves a nice girl I love love him. Yeah. Me too. And he's like not, he doesn't have a mean bonus in his body whereas everyone around him is like plotting. He's just living his life, doing football with the bros.

Trying his best, trying to look after his brother. Trying to look after his brother. So another episode of that this week, part two of the Beverly Hills reunion, which we will talk about on Wednesday and Kardashians. And Winterhouse premiered.
