Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to The Toast. Happy Monday. Hope everyone's having a fabulous day. Fabulous, fabulous. And speaking of fabulous, it's the most glamorous show-stopping girl I know, my co-host who was holding it down here in the States for me this last week.

Hey, Jax, how you doing? Doing good, thank you. Speaking of fabulous, it's Turdy's sister because Turdy and her other sister, there are so many, it's so confusing. We're so fabulous this weekend. We are all dying to hear about your weekend in Lisbon. By the way, so it's worth mentioning, I could not this weekend pronounce Lisbon because.

Because. Same for me because Jackie and I you know as a part of our business we use a lot of different platforms to upload podcast things one of the platforms we use and we actually recently started using them is called Libsyn and when we first started using this platform we couldn't say it because it's obviously Lisbon but now we're so customed it's obviously Lisbon but now we're so custom to to saying Libsyn that when I got to Lisbon I could not say it correctly it was a culture shock for a podcaster it was a culture shock for a podcaster so pardon while I you know I kept just saying Portugal because I could not say Lisbon of course how was Portugal I went to Portugal on Wednesday I for those who don't know my friend Brian who's

been on this show many times it was his 40th birthday and he was selling like celebrating like this big milestone honestly I didn't know how big he was going until we got there is that because he didn't tell anyone or just because you just assumed it was going to be something and then it was something else? He did say, he's like, I'm going all out. I'm going all out. But it went above and beyond what I could have imagined. It was, it was basically, it was four days, three nights

and every night was a wedding. Like it was insane. The first day was like a big welcome reception, this big dinner. He took over this beautiful restaurant that was like a palace. And then the second night was, he rented out this castle and it was, it was literally a wedding. It was a dance floor, a stage, he had performances. The third night he took over this club where we

did like a roast. And then it was just like this rave. It was so beyond my expectations. It was amazing. And I have to say my expectations, I've never been to Lisbon and it really wasn't a place I ever planned on going. Um, so my expectations were low for like the city itself. It was amazing. First of all, like Lisbon itself is so cute. It's like so quintessential Europe, the cobblestone streets, the cute little shops. Like it was really beautiful. Like this, these hills, these, the hills I could have, my god I could have died uh but it was so beautiful um so I was already like overcome with she's on it it's true sounds like you picked up a little something something no no I'm fine um I was already like you know my expectations were

I know what's the word like beat oh exceeded exceeded before anything even started because I was really so blown away with how cute Lisbon is like people don't talk about it now I understand Brian is like a he has a visa he's becoming a permanent resident there like I totally get it it's so cute that's so awesome tell me about the roast who was the best okay on the left did him so he had a one of the nights like it was a roast which is such a good idea such a good idea he told you like nothing was off limits really he said you could say anything you want tell any story but just don't talk about dean his son which is so fair fair i'm like you don't even have to tell us that like we're not we to start talking about your son. So the third night he took over this, it was a gay club, but they had this really great stage for drag queens.

So we used that stage for the roast. Brian sat up on stage. I hosted the roast. I roasted Brian. And then he had five people roast. It was his best friend from high school, his college roommate, Taylor Strecker, John, me. And then at the 11th hour, like the night before, Brian's former business manager, Adam, was like, can I please roast Brian? I'm like, it's not John, me. And then at the 11th hour, like the night before Brian's former business manager, Adam was like, can I please roast Brian? I'm like, it's not up to me. It's up to Brian.

So Brian was like, yeah, of course. And they worked together. He just retired, but they, I think they worked together for 15 years. And Adam has been waiting for this day, his entire life. He, his was so long. Everyone got five minutes. He must have been up there for 15 minutes but he said everything that he needed to say he went so hard he went so deep it was he was far and away the best like and he was so unexpected too like he wasn't even supposed to do it that's so funny it was hysterical it was actually a great idea for a birthday you have to be really strong like I could never yeah no I could never you could never but he must have been really good for you to admit that he was the best and better than you oh he was better than me yeah yeah I know he was amazing amazing and then the night before that was like the main event which was Brian took over this castle that was so beautiful on the beach

was like a 30-40 minute drive you pull up it literally it was Game of Thrones like it was this it was King's Landing it was this huge castle You pull up. It literally, it was Game of Thrones. Like it was this, it was King's Landing. It was this huge castle. He took over the whole thing. And it was this beautiful sit down dinner with performances scattered throughout. Because all, the entire party was seated at like this big, it was about 100 people. And the tables were set up in like a semicircle around this big stage. So first came out the star of this Broadway show that's on, I told you that you would love it, Titanic. She's really like this world-class Celine Dion impersonator. And so she

sang Celine Dion and she did like little standup. It was so funny. Great. That was appetizers. Then entree was Shangela, who, if you don't know, she's like one of the biggest stars come out of RuPaul's Drag Race. She was just on Dancing with the Stars. And she was so crazy. She went home so early on an old season, but she just stayed in the franchise and then she came back on All Stars. And she's really, she's amazing. And she did a bunch of Beyonce. And then we had dessert and then came the main event, which nobody knew. I didn't know, but nobody knew. So when they announced next performance is going to be Kim Petras. Like when I tell you the room, which was mostly gay men, Jackie, they were not okay.

They were not fucking okay. Screaming, screaming. Kim Petras came out and gave such an unbelievable performance. I am obsessed with Kim Petras and I've been doing like my homework since I found out like a month ago that she was going to be the performer, just making sure I knew all the words to all the songs. She was incredible. going to be the performer just making sure I knew all the words to all the songs um she was incredible her voice she's like she is going to be like an it girl pop star like she was so amazing

her songs are so good her vocals were so good and she was so cool afterwards like you know she could have left but she stayed for the party and I just have to say like major shout out to the toaster nation that is everywhere because Kim Petras's assistant was the biggest toaster so like I got to meet Kim we took pictures we hung out at the party and like I like to think it's because like Kim knows my work but mostly it was because her assistant like was like she's the toast like she's a big deal and it was like shout out toaster nation like saving lives everywhere they go. I spent literally the whole night with Kim Petras. Like I peaked. I literally peaked.

And headline news. Not one, but two of your arms were out. Oh, yeah. By the way, this was like a crazy weekend for me because one of the nights I literally wore a strapless dress. My arms have not seen the light of day, probably since the sixth grade. They were looking really good.

I felt good. I got a spray tan, which always helps. Did you have more fun because like you weren't as hot? Jackie that's what I wanted to come on here and say because on Saturday night I wore my arms out and on Sunday oh no Friday night I wore my arms out and on Saturday night I wore my hair in a bun. It's liberating. And those are two things I vowed to never do but it's you know the year of yes we're saying yes and the way my night was so different because of it my arms were free I was dancing dancing dancing non-stop dancing DJ dancing performance dancing screaming and I wasn't

sweating and I'm always sweating but because my arms were free like I was just lighter and then the night that I wore my hair up was the night of the roast. And the roast was in this like really like small, like hot club. My hair was up. I didn't even, not one, I didn't have to take a shower. Not one drip of sweat. I am obsessed with wearing my hair up now. I can't believe those words are coming out of my mouth.

Like, yeah, I saw some pictures that made me like want to jump off a bridge, but you know what? I wasn't sweating. And I feel like that's the payoff. Like sometimes I'll see pictures of myself with my hair down down but I'm sweating so much that I hate the picture so now it's like all right I have my hair up from the side I got like you know three necks but I'm not sweating so like it's a it's a give and a take no and like when your hair is down and you're sweating like your hair doesn't look good no and you put your hair up anyway no it's

not looking it's not good hair it's stuck you. It's not doing anything for anyone. Okay, so add it to the list. Downton, reading, Yellowstone succession, wearing your hair up, which I've been trying to tell everyone. Have you? Yeah, like I wore my hair up at my wedding reception. Oh yeah, yeah you did. And it was the key to having a great night.

It's the key to having a great night. I know I brought my little wax stick with me. And it's a little facelift too. Like you will look more snatched in the face when your hair is up because you have to pull back. Especially if you do like a hardcore slick bun. I had my wax stick. I was waxing all over the place. And people are like, oh my God, she got plastic surgery.

She looks so different. I literally have not gotten plastic surgery. I haven't even got my lips done in a while. Like I only get Botox in my forehead, whatever. I have no plastic. I looked so snatched. It's the bun, the bun life. It's the bun. The wax stick is the key to the bun though.

Yeah. And just like, you know, not having postpartum regrowth. Yeah, no, the hair. I'm not postpartum and I don't have regrowth, but I got the craziest little fucking hairs around my ears. Oh, I have those too. I've always had those. Like little payas.

Yeah, they just. They are what they are. They are what they are. I have those too I've always had little payas yeah they just they are what they are they are what they are have a bobby pin on hand so you know what it was an amazing trip I'm exhausted I really never got on Lisbon time because we were out so late every night and I don't even know what time it is I'm so disoriented I slept through my alarm today I'm working on getting back onto American time. I'm happy to be back in the States because there's no Diet Coke in Lisbon. That's like my one note for the country.

But again, that's just a European thing. I'm grateful. I had the best time. Like it was, and I felt really good about like my outfits and I got such good pictures and I made so many good TikToks. Like I had like three or four TikToks that went viral. Like I had one that got a million.

Damn, right before the shutdown. That's like a big, that's like a successful weekend. Yeah, no, that, that really is. And how was our little sister? I got to spend time with our little sister, which it was definitely giving cool crowd. It was giving cool, like we were the cool girls, you know, I felt like, you know, a bitchy, mean, skinny girl. That you are now. a bitchy mean skinny girl that you are now I know it's such a good feeling it's the life um it was it was amazing like I feel like pictures didn't even do it justice Brian did such a good job like every detail I will say though Portuguese food is not for me I know that probably shocks nobody um I literally had McDonald's four times because it was McDonald's and they have Uber Eats in Lisbon.

Oh my God. Obsessed. Um, I had McDonald's pretty much every day of actually, I'm not the type of person who like eats poorly and then it's like, oh, I feel gross. I'm like, no, give me more. But it was like back to back of literally only eating McDonald's. I feel like, like I feel lethargic. I feel like a gorilla.

I feel terrible. I know. It's so real how eating healthy makes you feel good and eating poorly. Like that's what. It just shouldn't be that way. Everyone's been trying to tell us all this time. I know. And until you experience it.

Like Zach and I were driving. I was really hungry. And there was McDonald's. He was like, do you want to go? I was like, no, because then I will feel so awful. Oh my God. Like a slob. I feel like I've got this.

Like I need to like make a big duty. I was in duty once while I was in Lisbon. Like I've got this, like I need to like make a big duty. I was in duty once while I was in Lisbon. Like that's so me. You need your seed. I need a lot of things. Maybe if you had your seed and you were taking your seed, you would know what it's like to make a big duty. But you don't.

But you don't. No, yeah, that's definitely coming my way this week, which I'm excited about. It was amazing. I'm so happy to be back home because traveling is so hard you know eight hour flight but so worth it like really such Brian really out like it was next level it was beyond what I was expecting yeah and I expect a lot from him it looked amazing and then I came home just in time last night to catch the second half of the Oscars which is like where everything good happened

oh great because that's what by the time I turned it off so together we watch the whole thing two halves make a whole two halves make a whole we'll be recapping the Oscars story number one so I guess we could get into it well before we do major shout out so while there was no toast episodes on Thursday and Friday Jackie and I pre-recorded an episode for Thursday so if you were missing out on content you got to hear Jackie and I do a podcast episode on Thursday. And then on Friday, we were supposed to record, but like I never got on New York time. I could not make time to podcast. So I brought my mic with me, but Jackie ended up recording an episode at home with her and Zach. And Zach hasn't been on the podcast in many years. Two years. We did the math.

So they did a major update with May Mamerson's and people were loving it. Like, I feel like I'm about to be replaced. You know, they were just loving the, like, I feel like we gave some good advice. Like, it was just very realistic for, like, postpartum relationship. Yeah. And yeah, no, it was fun to have him back on. It was so different from all the other episodes that we've done because, like, everything's changed in our lives. Of course.

So it was good to catch him back on it was so different from all the other episodes that we've done because like everything's changed in our lives of course so it was good to catch up with him everyone you know was able to hear where he's at and where we're at and it was really fun actually we it was a positive podcasting experience with your husband like really just so rare I wasn't irritated at all like really nothing bothered me which is crazy because it always does no like podcasting with Ben is full-blown panic yeah what's he gonna say what's he gonna say yeah or he just is like you know they do things that are just they don't work for podcasting like they'll nod instead of saying yes it's like this is an audio show no totally state your answer sir so if you were a patreon member this last weekend i hope that came in clutch for you while i was gone thank you guys for giving me the space to take two days off.

So you'll always get the perfect fit, which means you'll always look and feel great.

When I first started using Honey like four years ago now, I realized what had been my problem this whole time. And it was, I didn't know my correct bra size because I feel like I got measured once in a mall like 15 years ago. And I've just been using that as a reference point ever since. And their Fit Finder quiz is so accurate.

It's crazy. They ask really detailed questions. And because they invented those half cup sizes, like you will get the most specific size for your bra. Because we all got different tits, okay? Why would we all use the same sizes? So if you're looking for an everyday bra, something with more coverage and online style,

a little extra lift, all of the above, check out Third Love's bestselling bras.

third love thanks third love turd love love hearts first story oscars recap we have the list of winners we have our personal thoughts on the proceedings i turned it off right after rihanna's performance when did you turn it on a little bit before Rihanna's performance. When did you turn it on? A little bit before Rihanna's performance. So we got the whole gamut covered. Okay, cool. So here's the winner's list in the categories that you care about

because they literally announced every single dreadful category last night and it was so fucking boring. Yeah, no, there was like a real lull when they were like, you know, of course, you know, people behind the scenes in the movies deserve all the recognition but like maybe that's like you know the pre-show awards because you know we're tuning in for the stars no it was so much adapted

screenplay original screenplay cinematography editing like it was yeah it was a lot visual effects best picture the big award of the night went to everything everywhere all at once that really was the sweeper of awards except when I turned it off I was getting the vibe that um all quiet on the western front was sweeping no when I turned it on it was like literally supporting actress supporting actor uh lead actress lead actor it was literally director everything yeah no like they wound up sweeping but from what I saw like I thought All Quiet on the Western Front was winning everything and then I guess they stopped winning once I turned it off like so they were nominated for 12 Oscars and I believe they won seven which is crazy best actor Brendan

Fraser the whale that was really that was emotional for everyone in the room. And it's just a beautiful, I know I did say if he didn't win the Oscar, I would get a Bob. But you know me, I'm always saying crazy things and I'm not getting a Bob. So don't fucking try me. I honestly thought it was like so not possible that he would win. That's why I said it. But with each award, he won the SAG.

Like he kept winning them. And I felt like the Oscars, you know, was always trying to be different. So he actually wasn't going to win. But he did. And Claudia, that's beautiful. I felt like he was going to win. It's worth noting neither of us have seen the movie still. No, no.

But I did see last week that it's available to rent on YouTube, which means that it's like on demand everywhere. And you could watch it at home. Yeah, last weekend, me and Ben stayed in on Saturday night. And like I put the trailer on on iTunes. I'm like, let's watch this. And we watched the trailer and honestly it looks so fucking sad and depressing.

I'm like, I stayed in tonight. Like I want to enjoy my night, not ruin it. You need to be in a very specific headspace to watch a film that sad. Yeah. I just feel like if we didn't watch it before last night, like now our odds are even lower. A hundred percent.

But I do want to watch it still. I know, I know. Best actress, Michelle Yeoh, everything, everywhere, all at once. Obsessed. Like she's so the moment right now. Yeah. She looked beautiful.

Her and Jamie Lee Curtis's friendship is really cute. And I just feel like everyone who worked on that movie was crying the whole night. Like cry, cry, cry. I know, it was really sweet. Made me want to watch the movie because like I'll watch a sweep. Me too.

Except when I went on my journey to start watching Oscars movies, which I did watch a few, I watched the trailer for that one. And it so looked like something I'd never want to watch. It's very Matrix parallel universe. That's not my cup of tea. I know. But a sweep, it's worth taking a look at. A sweep is an endorsement.

And you're the sweeper. So you should watch a sweeper. I am the sweeper. A hundred percent. Best supporting actor, key high Quan, everything, everywhere,

all at once. Every time this guy makes a speech, it's like more beautiful than the last one, which isn't even possible. Cause he brings a tear to every eye in the room. And I'm just so here for the elders winning Oscars. Like I just have. Oh my God.

It was the evening of the elders. I was so thrilled people who's like you know who either got like really late starts in the business or have been like really like even Jamie Lee Curtis she's been in this business for 40 years and she finally won like I feel like last night was kind of like delayed gratification for a lot of people yeah best supporting actress Jamie Lee Curtis you are all of us. Everything, everywhere, all at once. I could not stop Jamie Lee Curtis. You are all of us. No, but what was so crazy was Ariana DeBose

presented for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress. And she had to announce all of the nominees. And I was like, Angela Bassett did the thing. I really thought she was going to reference, self-reference the rap. She did not, which was disappointing but she still brought her Ariana DeBose flair to the presentation they did not kill her spirit you guys no they didn't but she did do something that like kind of like annoyed

me which was when she announced Ki Hai Kwan had won um she like opened the envelope and started sobbing and it's like okay it's not about you like just had won. She like opened the envelope and started sobbing. And it's like, okay, it's not about you. Like just say the name and like let the person get on stage. She was like, Ki-Hai Kwon. Like stop. Like it's so dramatic. You're not his mother.

No, I agree. And I don't know of one, but I'm not sure there's a clear like personal relationship established. Like have they worked together in a movie? I don't think so. Aside from just like, you know, having admiration for a great actor. I think that's what it is. Like the enormous. Aside from just like, you know, having admiration for a great actor. I think that's what it is. Like the enormous respect people have for like,

you know, he spent time in a refugee camp and to make it all the way to the Oscars. And he said in his speech, like that stuff only happens in movies.

And you know what? It doesn't even happen in movies. Like it's so wild. And I just, I don't know, that kind of like read me the wrong way.

It's like being a presenter, it's like you're really supposed to be like very, it's not about you. I really feel that. Okay. agree so I just like I found that annoying best animated film Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio it made me want to see that any sometime in my life um skipping the next few categories to best original score which is always an interesting category because there were some

really good composers nominated but all quiet on the western front one war tings best original song so let's talk about all the performances because we wait no no before we talk about the performances we have did you see his speech no I didn't oh my god Jackie you would have cried I know I would have Jackie he said the cutest thing. He was like, you don't understand. Like growing up, I loved the Carpenters and the Carpenters sing that song. I'm on the top of the world. Jackie, he started to sing that song on top of the world, but he made his own lyrics about

how he's, you know, so proud to be here and he's doing this for all the Indians and he ended it and he's like, now I'm on the top of the world it was so cute me and Ben were crying like in that moment I wanted Lady Gaga to win but once I heard that speech I was so grateful that she didn't because his speech was the cutest thing I'd ever seen in my entire fucking life so I was feeling really conflicted at the beginning of the night I wanted Lady Gaga to win because hold my hand has be has is my favorite song out of all of these songs when I saw the performance for not to not to did you see it no it was amazing it was it felt like I was on a Broadway 42nd street show like glamour glamour glamour dancing everything it was ensemble cast it like was a taste of a movie that I now want to see like it had everything the song was so good and upbeat

and I was like I understand now why this song keeps winning. And I hope that they win again because the performance was so amazing and it was a history-making win. And then I also saw Rihanna's performance, and I loved the song even more when she sang it last night. Agreed. And I was like, oh, this could win the Oscar too. So it was so interesting how, the performances kind of um changed my perception

of who should and shouldn't win because at first I was like honestly I don't think Rihanna's really a contender I didn't think the song was that powerful but then like seeing her perform and I was like damn like she was amazing her vocals were on point she looked fucking she looked amazing and then like I have not stopped talking about how this Lady Gaga song is the best song literary of the year um movie or otherwise and that performance was not for me like not at all I do I love a stripped down acoustic no makeup chap lips version like I love but what the fuck was that like that was not the vibe. She literally changed the entire song like there weren't even like hints of a similar melody really like hate by the end of it I I came away saying like, that was really good.

I thought she sounded really good. And I, either she was going through something or she was, you know, putting on an emotional performance, which she does. Yeah. That's her like artist thing.

Yeah. But like, if I didn't know better, I would say, Oh, Lady Gaga is kind of like going through it because she seemed so sad. She was grasping to the song. And when she talked about how it's about like having a role model or a hero it was very ac american camper talking about

counselor snitch like i don't know yeah it was not for me like by any stretch i was like actually disappointed and lady gaga like you can't be turdy lou i'm gonna change your perspective because she wasn't supposed to perform until like literally yesterday and so she got together with her peeps and she put on something she obviously wasn't gonna have you know oh my god I literally like I'm about to reference something what so a line from like and I'm like what's that from it's from like one of Harry's books oh what is it brass bands play balloons float high the city looks so grand I know you mean like glamour yeah like the all the um instruments and stuff that like Rihanna had you know yeah put it together with her peeps from the basement and she gave us a performance and I'm grateful for that and she

sounded really good it wasn't the performance I would have wanted to hear but I thought it was still really amazing yeah not for me and her red carpet look was maybe my favorite. Oh, stunning. Maybe my favorite. Loved Rihanna's red carpet look too, but her stage look was so... Even better. Dripping in jewels.

Like, it was so seconding. So, neither of them won, and instead, Natu Natu won, which, between the performance and the speech, I'm so I'm so happy performance and the speech I'm very happy about that yeah like I wouldn't have had it any other way yeah and then a bunch of other stuff won congrats to everyone congrats everyone there was a lot of stars there who um like Miles Teller and Kelly Teller were there which was so nice you know supporting the Top Gun even though he wasn't nominated they looked there are no words that visionary yeah visions um and there was also like

some drama that came out of the night first was you know I don't know if you saw Angela Bassett's um reaction when Jamie Lee Curtis won I did and now I'm seeing all the recaps right I don't think it's really fair to judge like what she's thinking based on that moment. Because, of course, everyone wants to win. That doesn't mean you're not happy for someone else. But it was almost like her look was like she knew and expect to win. Like she knew, you know? I thought she was going to win. I thought she was going to win, too.

But I also feel like the Oscars are like very anti. And I think this year more than ever, they included a lot of like those big budget, not not Marvely but like blockbuster like Black Panther like Top Gun popular I feel like that you know oh you're you did well in the box office can't talk to you like they're very artist-y um and I feel like this year more than ever they really included a lot of those like big budget movies so I just feel like they have something against those types of movies which is why Angela Bassett didn't win yeah that's very possible I feel like you're it's less of an Oscar-y role right I also feel like Angela Bassett's reaction to like not winning like she doesn't need to stand up and cry that Jamie Lee Curtis won like to me that is a sign

of someone who's not happy as opposed to someone else who's just like okay I didn't win okay yeah moving on moving on yeah let's get this camera out of my face i don't need to now act again like i'm happy like i'm so over the moon for this person when like of course i'd rather be me duh that should be me and like you don't need to stand for everything i'm sorry i know it should be it should mean something when there's a standing ovation facts facts and that when everybody stands when one person wins it's because like the whole room is rooting for this person like if we're just going to stand for everyone why don't we just all sit. So true and it's like everyone's wearing big gowns

and big shoes it's like we have to get up every 10 seconds. Right and now I have to get up when I lost like no and so I actually kind of appreciate her just like. Just like sitting say literally relatable. What did you think about Jimmy Kimmel as a host oh I had a lot of thoughts I missed the first few minutes of his monologue but I came in for the rest of it and I thought that actually some of the jokes were really funny same but the way that he delivered them felt like amateur night like he would just do like one joke at a time like and then look around like it really felt like an amateur comedian who was actually delivering decent jokes yes I agree I don't know what he

would have joked about if not for Will Smith and like it's so funny how this year it's like the slap the slap the step when like when it actually happened like you all just sat there you all did nothing and you all gave him an Oscar right afterwards. And that was actually like a fire point from Jimmy Kimmel. It was, but it's like, you guys, like it. You're talking to like. Yeah. Yeah, I know what you mean. So it was like, I guess, good that he made light of it,

but it was also felt like a crutch for every single joke. But there were some other jokes in the beginning that were just like throwaway jokes that I thought were really, that were really well-written and funny. Just he was delivering them like a noob. I agree. I thought a lot of the jokes were really funny

when he made the joke about, I forget who it was. I think it was the director. No, I forget who it was. Somebody I didn't know how he, you know, he actually didn't get into filmmaking until he was in his late 40s. And before that, he was a civil engineer

and basically built the roads of LA. And he's like, it's so amazing that you're one of the greatest directors of all time and one of the worst civil engineers of all time because the roads in LA are abysmal. I'm butchering the joke, but it was very funny. I agree, a lot of the jokes were like really smart and funny and I enjoyed a lot of them.

He was better than I thought and I was like a big hater before. Yeah, people are roasting him because he like joked around with Malala oh by the way I agree I watched it it was fucking weird Malala was not down she was not down but like I don't think that he's like a horrible person for trying to like make jokes with Malala she came to the Oscars like we're gonna have a laugh. We're gonna attempt one. I know. I agree. Like it was definitely awkward but she like made it awkward and it's like well what are you doing at the Oscars anyway? Like it was like uh you went like you have to dive in. Yeah yeah this isn't like the Nobel Peace Awards. Like this is the Oscars. It's entertainment. We're

on TV here. Like right I'm gonna make a joke.'m gonna throw to Malala do with that what you will it was definitely like weird that they wrote a thing to like you know joke with Malala because she's literally like an activist who was shot in the face like I don't know if that's like you know the vibe but she she should have leaned in but I don't think she like culturally like I don't think she knows what the fuck no like I don't think so either but I actually thought her answer was like culturally, like I don't think she knows what the fuck. No, I don't think so either, but I actually thought her answer was like perfect for the question and perfect for Malala because he was like, do you think Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine? And she was like, I only talk about peace.

Peace. Perfection. But like she looked uncomfortable and everyone around looked uncomfortable and he did this shtick where he would like give the microphone and then he did Colin Farrell and then he did Jessica Chastain and these, you know, actors are going to make it a moment, say the funniest thing they could think of and Malala's like I don't know I just talk about peas yeah no I I it didn't it the execution wasn't like a plus but I think the ideation like oh

Malala's here let's have a laugh with Malala like why not get Malala involved yeah no Malala likes to joke too she came to the Oscars like she's not completely anti she looked glamorous she did I loved what she was wearing so I I think Malala thought it was funny I I hope I yeah I hope she like wasn't offended but I I don't think he I think he was just like you know being silly and I I think it's a funny concept like let's joke with Malala 100% about like nonsensical Hollywood tings right I'm sure Malala could actually use a reprieve from her kind of from her serious work yeah just some you know let's lighten it up with lighten it up with Malala new podcast literally um and then the other big drama everyone's talking about that actually have a lot of thoughts on is the Hugh Grant yes

I've got that here so on a major uh network, which was ABC, right? Yep. They had Ashley Graham, Vanessa Hudgens and Lilly Singh as their three correspondents. And they would go back and forth. Everyone got a new person. And Ashley Graham had the great displeasure of interviewing Hugh Grant, who I presume wanted to be anywhere else but that podium. Because, you know, and I'm going to be totally honest, was Ashley Graham asking like the most, you know, thought-provoking genius questions? No.

Was Hugh Grant being a fucking prick? Yes. So if you watch the clip, he's so disinterested. He thinks, he literally is standing there thinking that Ashley Graham is dumb. Like, I know, like, that's literally what's going through his mind. He rolled his eyes at the end.'s giving one word answers she's so desperately trying to claw like a four word answer out of him and she just ends up being like well what are you wearing like there was just she got through all of her questions that should have taken five minutes and it took 25 seconds because he was like yeah oh no I enjoyed it cool yeah he definitely was not an easy subject to be interviewing but I just wonder like if this

if the person doing the interviewing was like an actual host how they would have pivoted the conversation you know because she really asked one question like are you so excited to be here and he was like pretty much no and then she said so what are you excited about tonight like and it's like well he's not fucking excited so ask a different question and so and then she went to literally the lowest question on the red carpet which is who and what are you wearing and it's like when the con when you're clearly talking to someone you need to match their energy and like yeah he was being an asshole but like that's the job of the host is to like find some common ground and like the hosts of your like would do extensive okay research on everybody who's coming through also like I mean maybe it's not on her to

see every single movie but he wasn't glass onion for literally two seconds he opened the door yeah so my thoughts are very similar like half of me is like he was a prick but then the other half of me is like what the fuck is going on at ABC? This is the biggest night in cinema. This isn't like a pop award show where you can get away with like surface level questions. Like this is all about art and film. And what the fuck do you have three non-journalist celebrities doing as your correspondents? Like what happened to the Ryan Seacrest, Jason Kennedy, Kat Sadler, professional interviewees? Like we have a YouTuber, a Disney actress, and a model being red carpet interviews for the Oscars. Okay. It was the People's Choice Awards. I love it. But like, I kind of understand Hugh Grant's like this Oscars, like it feels like a farce. Like

it's like, these aren't thought provoking questions. These aren't people who know a lot about the film, the cinematography, like, or who aren't well-researched. So I did feel bad for Ashley Graham because she was just doing her job. But it's like, on a higher level, what the fuck is the thought process behind these three people being chosen as the official ABC on TV correspondents?

Agreed. And I think she did as best a job as she could because she was really sweet and she kept her positivity and she was smiley and then she just ushered him off when she got through best a job as she could because she was really sweet and she kept her positivity and like she was smiley. And then she just like ushered him off when she like got through the four questions that she had for him. But like the problem is that she only had four questions for him in her like Rolodex of questions.

And they were extremely surface level, nonsensical questions when you're talking to like, this is the serious actors award show. No, this is like a really legit thing. And so two things can be true. Like Hugh Grant can be a dick, but I'm, you know, his point wasn't lost on me. Like it's a kind of like a circus. What's going on here?

Yeah. I want to go back to the days and I feel like E is experiencing this because they've gotten a lot of really negative feedback about Laverne Cox. And I love Laverne Cox as an actress and just as like a human being. But her questions are like so moronic and everything's like what's the story behind your outfit that's what she says to

everyone it's like what happened to the days of right like what happened to the days of you know every award show like every network having their people yeah like and I feel like yeah in the digital age like we've moved into like more influencey type people yeah like and I feel like yeah in the digital age like we've moved into like more influencey type people but there's a lot like I feel like Kelty's such a great like Kelty's one of those OG interview entertainment tonight like she knows everything about everyone she reads those binders for weeks on end he's gonna study day and night but when you have someone who's like a model or an actress or has other jobs like it's not their primary job to like know all of this

stuff so then they show up they have probably the thing in their ear and they have you know they have the briefs but you need like extensive knowledge to be able to pull questions out of thin air with people who don't want to give you anything it's not an easy job I think people think it's so easy let's put our favorite celebrity in there because they have fun conversations but like there's a reason why this is a profession and yes most of the time people are able to conversate and you can have fun and like a celebrity is you know giving you more open and giving you more than you expected but like you're trained for moments like this and they're not trained agreed hashtag bring back the journalists like I don't know whatever it's happened on every network and I I don't know what every it's happened on every network. And I, I don't really having a person who is the interviewee interviewer be a celebrity

themselves. Like makes no sense. Yeah. Like the, the interviewer is supposed to be like representative of the people, you know, a nobody. We need a commoner, a professional journalist, an entertainment journalist. Like there should be those. There's so many. That's everyone's dream's dream job yeah so I agree with that I will say

though I only saw this clip I don't know how the rest of the carpet went for her she might have been amazing she was fine she wasn't amazing everyone was fine but it's like I just think on a whole we've taken this like you know this thing a little far where we've actually literally totally excluded actual celebrity entertainment journalists right and also like what about someone with a comedy background because like when like who these questions are bombing they have experience in bombing and like being on stage and like getting the audience back shifting and yeah yeah it's a miss for me I think we need to actually go back in time because there was a time where red carpets especially on e like they were killing it like Joan I mean that's the gold standard Joan

is the gold standard obviously not everyone's going to be Joan but like we should aspire to Joan Joan of course but then also even after Joan it was like the the staples Ryan Seacrest Juliana say what you want about her she was good and she fucking studied yeah no I I've not like she had some awkward moments but she always had like a question up her sleeve and she always knew everything about everyone and their projects and what they had going on and I don't know if that was something in her ear but she did a good job and I feel like E is now doing like that next generation with like Justin Sylvester, Adrian Bailon, um Kelty and I don't know why you know they wouldn't put the Tanya Rad I don't know why, you know, they wouldn't put a Tanya Rad. I don't know why they wouldn't put those people on the carpet.

Instead, they have Laverne Cox. And I'm not trying to say I love Laverne Cox, but it's not her strongest quality. Who did the E! Red carpet last night? I didn't watch E! I don't know. Oh, you didn't see any clips or anything? No. TikTok hasn't caught up? I'm not sure.

Anyways, I do feel bad for Ashley Graham but it's same it's a really hard position to be put in and that's why people's job is this 100% so any other Oscars thoughts no overall it was it was good it was fine it was it wasn't like the most amazing thing i'd ever seen no it was positively dreadful honestly and the all the categories they brought back all the categories because i guess last year some of them were offline and people were upset i don't know who um so they brought all the categories and like every 30 minutes there was like an ad for abc w warner brothers 100 anniversary did you i don't think you saw this stuff but it was an ad for the little mermaid like a trailer which by the way looked

really good but um excuse me that's what commercial breaks are for it's like they wanted to make the show as long as possible said we are in no rush yeah well they're on la time so they wouldn't be in any rush but for us it's almost midnight wrap.

Thank you, Claudia. You're welcome. Our next story, a little rumor that could be true, could be not. The 2023 Met Gala could be Kardashian-free. The Met Gala could be Kardashian-free this year after the whole family of reality stars attended in mass for the first time in 2022. Sources tell Page Six that Vogue boss Anna Wintour

is cracking down on the guest list at the annual fashion fete and that no Kardashians will make the cut. Vogue wouldn't comment on the event's guest list when they reached out, but a source familiar with the Kardashian-Jenner clan says that it's not true that they weren't invited to the big ball. So some people saying they're not invited other people saying they're invited. Still this story

is kind of weird and out of nowhere and it just is making me consider the veracity. Yeah I feel like I feel like there actually is a world in which a lot of the Kardashians don't go to the Met Gala this year. It's in like two months, right? It's March and it's in May. So I don't know, because they're in like this weird space right now, like they're being very like low key and quiet because they're kind of like coming off the heels of a lot of like negativity. And people are just like not feeling them right now. feeling them right now. I don't really see a world in which Anna Wintour like banned the Kardashians because to be honest for the last few years a lot of people have exclusively only cared because that because they were there and I think that wouldn't be smart but I do see a world in

which she's like you know getting really strict on who they allow in because I feel like the last year or two it's kind of like a free-for-all like some of the people I'm like how the fuck did you get here it didn't seem all that exclusive., I think that they should crack down on the list the last few years. It hasn't been that cool seeming. But I think the Kardashians are not the problem with that. They're actually kind of the solution. They have so many friends in Hollywood. All of their friends are like fellow A-listers,

like Hailey Bieber, like, you know, their network. They should be there. I think they make the party really fun. And I think that they're all going to be there. Kim is definitely going to be there with Dolce and Gabbana. Like, they're all, like, Kendall is an actual model. She all going to be there. Kim is definitely going to be there with Dolce and Gabbana. Like they're all, like Kendall is an actual model. She's going to be there. I think Kylie was just like fashion girly in Milan.

I think. And Kendall and Kylie last night went to Vanity Fair. Right. And they're like in there, like going out fashion girlies era. They're a hundred percent going. Now maybe Khloe isn't dying to go again maybe Courtney I could see that like her being like oh I it I went it was okay I don't need to go back I could see actually Courtney not being invited back I felt like the last time she was remember on the carpet she was like kind

of rude yeah Chris always goes with Tommy Hilfiger who was still her friend so unless Anna literally says to Tommy you can't invite Chris like Chris will be there I don't think this is true I mean we'll have to wait and see um I don't think it's true that none of them because you're right like definitely Kim and Kendall I feel like are always 100% guaranteed to go one because Kim is so fashion and Kendall is obviously like a very high fashion supermodel Kylie like sometimes doesn't leave her house so like I could see her not going and then Kylie is in her leaving her house era she's literally so snatched right now she's oh wait she she's like stepping out in all these fashion looks recently like yeah Pirelli and all that stuff she was wearing like she's loving it she like is so skinny right now for lack of a better word and she's gonna go to fucking

Met Gala yeah I mean but she also like does you know sometimes not go to things so I'm saying like her not going isn't like she wasn't invited but like I see sometimes she doesn't fucking go like remember like she had a sore throat so she didn't go to Balmain like she she sometimes skips stuff so I could see whether she's skinny or not I can see her not going yeah but I don't think I'm saying I don't think that would mean that she wasn't invited by Anna got it okay fine but now that this rumor is out there, I feel like now they're going to go, all of them, you know?

No, but I feel like even only one or two have to go to dispel the rumor because the rumor is that none of them are invited to Kardashian-free affairs. So that's either true or false. Because minimum, we really always get Kendall, Kim, and Kris. Yes, and I think we will again.

And I really think Kylie will be there. Me too. I don't know about Khloe and Kourtney. I hope Khloe's there. I hope Khloe's there. I hope she had fun last time. But I didn't get the vibe that she did. Because she said she had a lot of anxiety about those things.

Yeah. I don't think she had a bad time. I think it was very nerve wracking. I think Kourtney had a bad time. When she was being interviewed, she was like, this is weird. Yeah. Yeah. I could see her being like, she was like, this is weird. Yeah. Yeah. I could see her being like,

I don't need to go again. And I could see her not being invited because she didn't like appear to be grateful to be there. And her outfit kind of stunk. Big brown skirt. Yeah. But do you think, I feel like Anna would weirdly like not care about someone who's like

acting too cool for the event. That's like better than someone who's acting like desperate for it. True. You know what I mean? True. True I mean honestly I hope that this rumor is not true but maybe it's like a misconstrued rumor about how they're just you know becoming way more strict about who can come because it should be that should be that there are all of these like random like what's like young Hollywood people who are yes in today but they're not like a list it's really not an a-list event anymore no it became like a little mainstream but I also understand like the last few years were confusing with COVID and people who could come and couldn't come and like the vaccine

thing so then I think a lot of people didn't go that year so they had to bring in the B team and the C or by the way that is true and you know there were a lot of people didn't go that year, so they had to bring in the B team and the C team. By the way, that is true. And, you know, there were a lot of blind items about celebs making, like, fake vaccine cards just to get into the Met Gala. Yeah, there were, like, I think there were probably a few who did fake vaccines, but I think a lot of celebrities also didn't get vaccinated because they're, like...

By the way, nobody talks about how, like, definitely half of Hollywood is not vaccinated. They're so green and, like... Yeah, like, they're not putting stuff in their body. Right, there's no fucking way. I know for a fact nobody in Hollywood is not vaccinated they're so green and like they're not putting stuff in their body right there's no fucking way I know for a fact nobody in Hollywood is vaccinated like it's literally logic hello yeah so I think um are they still is it you have to be vaccinated there's not that law in New York anymore oh right oh right it wasn't Met Gala it was it was just events in general events events I want to go to events, but I have to have a vaccination. Events, events.

I want to go to events. Invite me to your events. Oh, you're right. So maybe it'll be less B-list. I think even last May, you didn't need a vaccine because you didn't in New York then. So anyways, the last few years have been a hodgepodge. Plus, there was like two in one year because there was September and May. Yep.

I think this year,umza fresh i think anna like she's like okay the nonsense covid you know the tabula rasa yeah everyone like had an excuse then then you have to get tested and all this stuff like tabula rasa let's get back to the a-list i think that's good yeah maybe that that policy got misconstrued to page six as the Kardashians aren't invited yeah like or maybe yeah they were probably like they're you know taking out the trash and maybe page six interpreted that as the Kardashians but I don't know because you know whether you want to admit it or not and I feel like a lot of really like high fashion people who are like into art and fashion and culture like hate on the Kardashians but to deny their influence on

American fashion it would be is moronic like you it's you literally can't ignore them no and like Anna tried it it didn't work out I don't think she's gonna go back to ignoring them and they've only become more even though they become a little less beloved they've only become more fashion yeah yeah you're right you're right maybe maybe and this is like why Kim didn't like do a big thing about Balenciaga like maybe this would be her punishment for not standing by them because remember we said like what does she have to lose by dissing Balenciaga she doesn't need the money but you said that like it could be an industry thing where it's like yeah because really no one Anna never said anything about it no nobody wants to be known as like the whistleblower

and so Kim like speaking out like she's what we know about her is like for as long as she's been famous she's been dying to get into the inner circle of fashion and she's there now she's gonna make some big stink and have everyone think oh like oh she rattled on us she didn't even make a big stink she just stopped working with them but maybe that would be enough no I don't think it's enough. No, enough for them to like kick her out. But she's now with Dolce & Gabbana. She's still fashion. And they usually have a table.

Question mark? I don't know. Anyways, if she goes with them, she'll look amazing. Those looks are much nicer looking. Agreed. Then Balenciaga,

like leggings. Ugly. Yeah. Okay, cool. Well, that makes me a little excited for oh and the theme is so good it's Carl Carl yeah oh and Kendall was so close with Carl she'll be there

yeah she was a Carl girly let's just let's chalk this up to you know game of telephone yeah are you ready for our next story some Some actually shocking news. Sammy Sweetheart is returning to the Jersey Shore after a decade-long hiatus and after saying she would never come back to the show. Over 10 years after she left the original series, Sammy Sweetheart Giancola has reunited with her castmates to film Jersey Shore Family Vacation MTV announced Saturday. The network revealed the news via social media

by sharing a photo of the reality star sitting on a chair with a boom mic and a camera in frame, seemingly filming a confessional. Sammy also confirmed the exciting comeback by reposting the same pic to her Instagram stories and Twitter. Fans were quick to express their thoughts on social media, writing things like, oh my God, stop. This is iconic. Run!

Stop! So it's been over a decade since fans have seen her on the show with her castmates. She had said she wasn't coming back to the reunion because she was like newly married and wasn't going to go be around her toxic ex, Ronnie Magro. No. And if you watched Jersey Shore recently as an adult and you saw what went down in their relationship, like you understand. We chalked it up as kids like oh they're crazy watching it now as an adult like you realize how

fucking abusive and manipulative manipulative Ronnie was as a boyfriend and like why anyone would return to that now that they're happily married like I have so much respect for her not returning but I love this like it feels like she's in a really good place well what two things one beyond he's a was a horrible boyfriend and extremely toxic person like when you are married you don't not enter a situation and a share house with your ex of five years five years yeah that's insane so I really appreciate her just like putting her actual reality above reality television because we talk about this all the time. How are you ever supposed to get over someone when you are with them?

Like if I would never allow my spouse to go and like do that. I don't care that it's for a TV show. Like this is our life. Yeah, no, it's the way you just said it is perfect. Like putting your own reality before reality TV and like actually having boundaries and not letting like money influence that is something I have enormous respect for. But as somebody who's like a huge fan of the show

I'm very excited to see her come back and I feel like I'm glad she took time and like she got married and maybe she's feeling really settled and really secure and like good enough to go. And Ronnie's not on the season he is taking a break amid mental health issues and legal woes he said after talking to the team at mtv we have mutually agreed that i will step away from the show while i seek medical treatment for my mental health issues that i've ignored for too long my number one goal is facing my struggles head on because we've reported over the years like he has these domestic um oh my god in like insane legal with that woman he had a baby with like really insane stuff so he's not on which is why

she's coming oh okay that makes a lot of sense I've been like waiting to add that detail because it's germane to the story it's germane it's germane okay that's great and you know what Sammy's like such a cute little influencer now she has like a little boutique like I feel like she's a really nice happy like healthy like balanced life so I'd love to hear from her and see where she's at with all the girls. Yeah, I think it's going to that's going to be a theme of the season is her kind of making amends with the girls because I think she kind of blew them off when family vacation started. They really want her to come back.

And then Snooki said like Sammy blocked her even maybe she just like couldn't handle deal with all of it. So I think repression but honestly if they can get to a good place with angelina anyone can get to a good place with anyone i mean how much do you think mtv paid sammy sweetheart like a shit ton i hope so me too because this is really exciting no this is like major and she's not even like the best cast member no it's like they're a family complete family and that's what the cast has said over the years like it's it's not who said this um snooki she said she's a part of the show i feel like it's not full unless all of us are there it's true like they're a family. It's been incomplete. I feel like the new show, Family Vacation, is great and stuff,

but, like, it's definitely been missing. And they tried to fix it with Angelina. And, like, try as she may, Angelina is not a part of this show. No, I mean, she is now, and she definitely filled a part of the hole, but there was still more hole. Yeah, and I think Ronnie should really get off of TV for good like he's he is such a toxic person he is like he's more toxic now than he was back then like he is so honestly atrocious and I'm so glad that she doesn't have to be in the same house as him

yeah well she wouldn't but I'm glad that we can have her and not him right now me too I love this like if you follow her on social media like you know she's like really cute she's like a really cute life and I'm excited to see what she's been up to same are you ready for our next story is this number four number four is it the fourth story that's brought to you by it's a four story bro that's brought to you by droplet did you know that 90% of your skincare goes to waste because it gets wiped or sweated off before fully absorbing into your skin? That's why we're so excited to introduce you to this new product we've been using, the Droplet. Because when we heard this statistic, we were shook. That is shook-worthy. It's shook-worthy. And you know what? It kind of

makes sense because whenever I used to do my skincare and just get into bed, it would literally rub off on my pillow. It's not that difficult to understand. And that's why I've been loving using the Droplet. So their award-winning handheld device transforms your serums into high velocity micro mist that absorbs into the skin 20 times deeper than topicals where the ingredients can actually do some good. So the device also pairs with their Droplet mobile app to unleash the most powerful, deeply penetrating results. And it lets you personalize your skincare routine with targeted treatment modes. So here's how it works. Choose the serum that best meets your skincare needs

and start misting. So for me, my skincare needs are always, especially this time of year, my skin is really dry, and putting on a bunch of serums and moisturizers and then going to bed, I understand now why the results weren't so great because they really were not absorbing into my skin. So Droplet is fun and easy to use,

and it delivers powerful treatments in under 60 seconds, morning and night, right from the comfort of your own home. It feels like a mist, but it offers an injectable alternative without needles, pain, or recovery time. It's the ultimate self-care experience from the comfort of your home. The device works like with formulation capsules, kind of like an espresso pod. So you can use it to infuse the treatments that are right for you, not just onto your skin, but into your skin. So if you want to try it out for a limited time, listeners can get 50% off your Droplet device at droplet.io and use code TOAST. That's D-R-O-P-L-E-T-T-E dot I-O code TOAST.

Thank you, Claudia. You're welcome. Our next story bumped to number four this week. Scandival continues. Tom Schwartz was seen at the airport speaking to TMZ, commenting on Scandival and how he's spoken to Tom and that there's a profound sadness. He said that Tom is a piece of shit.

Not in a way that it's like he was actually scolding him. He said, I haven't spoken to Tom today. I think, you know, they're very much aligned. He talked about how he was very sad about the effect that it's having on his business. He's very sad for. That's all they care about. I know, but like. I get it on a personal level, but like stop telling me.

I know. And then he said, well, he said before that hit about like he was so sad for Ariana. Then he said, I'm worried about hit about like he was so sad for Ariana then he said I'm worried about my business and I'm worried about Ariana um Ariana meanwhile was at a friend's wedding in Mexico this weekend looking like she was having fun uh and on Thursday night or Wednesday night Vanderpump Rules was on last week and Lisa Vanderpump was on Watch What Happens Live have you had a chance to watch I watched some of the clips and I watched the new episode on the plane last night of Pump Rules.

You don't understand. I actually am shocked at the way this season is still giving, even though we're so behind because listening to everything that Raquel says and seeing everything that she does, like knowing what she's capable of and knowing that like right around now,

I need an official start date. I know. But according to the seven months, like we're in the affair. I literally don't believe that. But what's interesting is Tom in his statement said that he didn't tell Ariana because he was worried about her mental health which actually does coincide with the loss of her dog and how right after that would not be a good time and then like you know time goes on and on Lisa actually had a really good theory as to why Tom and Raquel didn't come forward she

said that she thought that they were trying to make it through the reunion of this season have the season be what it was then he would break up with Ariana off camera and start dating Raquel and by the time and that would be crazy but they wouldn't be airing and by the time the new season started people would have had a chance to get used to it. Yeah, no, that's a really good call. They were so close. Two weeks away. By the way, anyone else like sobbed during like the dog stuff? I was like literally not okay.

Oh, no, but it was really sad. And it was just even sadder knowing like. Yes, knowing what we know. Knowing what we know. And I can't even. No, it was so sad. And you're right. Like I do see that like maybe he tried to tell her

right then but then her dog died so she needed some time and like life just gets away and like you try to tell someone something so many times but like it's just never the right time else have the theory that maybe Tom Sandoval forgot to give the medication that she had told him to give of course I thought that that's like Cameron and um yeah from Real Housewives of Dallas at least they were like honest about it though yeah no I could totally see a world in which Tom Sandoval was not listening did not he had to pick up more medication and give it to the dog no he was like half listening I need by the way when Andy does like a call out on Twitter and Facebook for questions for the reunion somebody can you guys all like ask him that?

Like if we all ask, he can't ignore it. It's a good question. It's a good question. I will, you will forget to ask it, but like. It was my first thought. Yeah, it was. But then I forgot about it because I was just like sad for Ariana and she didn't seem to think about it.

So I literally forgot until right now, but it's possible. And then also that whole Oliver, Raquel thing was really weird. And so I don't know what I would have been thinking about Raquel this season if I didn't know what I already know about her um because she's acting fucking crazy like Lala made it explicitly clear like she was interested in Oliver and so and then Raquel just like sneaks her way in so honestly watching this footage I'm actually not surprised knowing what she did with Tom Sandoval because she's kind of being like a Jezebel a Jeze, like a sleuth. Yeah, no, I would have chalked it,

if I didn't know what I know, I would have watched this and chalked it all up to Raquel being dumb and like not understanding like social cues and... Yeah. But not her literally being like insidious and just like this Jezebel of a woman. By the way, I like really,

I cannot watch James's mom. like I think she is like the worst yeah like I've never had moments uh wishing Kristen Doty to be barren remember that like she has said some of the most vile things and she's literally been on the show four times I can't watch her like I think she's horrendous. I'm so glad you guys met organically. And then Allie in her interview was like, my friend dragged me to a show. I'm so confused about Allie because it actually seems like for one of James's ladies,

she actually has like some smarts. Yeah. Which is making me think now that like maybe this is her foray into television. You know, because like really all you have to be is James's girlfriend and look you could be on the cover of a star New York Post yeah I I can't get a good read on her either but like I do like her I like her too because like I think she makes sense and she gets mad at James appropriately but she's also not dating Raquel and like what

James did to Raquel is like she can't act like it happened to her but she could still like you know proceed with caution no I'm sorry Raquel like trying to weigh whether or not she should like go for Tom and being like well Katie didn't come to my puppy party I actually like I felt like serious like shame and embarrassment just like having to hear her say that yeah my puppy party yeah uh yeah and then next week or this week looks crazy when they're in bed and I guess Raquel is wasted and Lala says like um you know I would not trust drunk you around my man and Raquel said well good thing you don't have a man to bring around no honestly I don't know what we would be thinking like watching this season if we didn't know what we know maybe we would just be thinking like Raquel is spiraling.

Yes. Oh, for sure the drinking is not helping her. But a seven-month affair isn't because you're drunk all the time. No, no, no. But now knowing what she's really like, none of this is really all that shocking. Yeah. Knowing what she's capable of.

It is shocking though because it's just like she's so duplicitous. And the fact that she could sit at a table, and I think she's so shy. She couldn't even make a toast, but she could sit at a table and I think she's so shy she couldn't even make a toast but she could sit at a table and tell Katie's mother that she wants to hook up with her daughter that she has a crush on her daughter's ex-husband and they're not even final divorce I'm like you got a big brass set of balls yeah no that's like fucking delusional loved Katie's mom yeah like someone needed to like bring the emotion into this and just explain why what you're doing is fucking wrong but like that's not a shy little girl

no who do you think's gonna be on watch rapids live well i feel like like i feel like moving forward whoever's gonna be on watch rapids live after random pump rules like that's actually more interesting than actually because now we're finally getting real-time commentary of course lisa's episode was so interesting i think she was a little wasted because she was being crazy she was very loose she was being loose crazy which I love that for her um I also felt like Andy dropped the ball a little bit and Zach said the same thing when we were watching that like it just even though I think Scandival has like you know pumped new blood through his veins like Lisa would say something and he's just like

constantly looking through the cards for the next question it's like don't you have all the questions in your head this like this is the craziest thing of all time the cards also that last week's episode of Vanderpump Rules was the highest rated episode in the last two years which is not shocking no I'm surprised it's not in the last like 10 years 10 years no it's the craziest thing yeah and by the way I had to buy the episode on iTunes because I was watching it on the plane yesterday and Vanderpump Rules all the different seasons are all over the iTunes charts like number one two three four good also I feel like maybe Tom Schwartz will be on this week because he was at the airport coming I I want to say coming to New York but

but also Jax was tweeting oh yeah Jax said he's coming yeah well actually no Schwartz was interviewed by TMZ it could have been in New York but probably was LA it was probably I don't know but that was a thought I had when I saw him in the airport that like it's watch what happens live oh I'm sorry watch what happens live I just saw they released their schedule I apologize give me one second what night is Vanderpump Rules on Wednesday uh okay wait here I have the schedule Wednesday is Katie Maloney and Danny Pellegrino okay that's good yeah oh my god Katie's gonna be so good yeah but we need to hear from everyone honestly Watch Robbins Live's ratings are about to go through

the roof and he really needs to like start caring again like put the cards down have a conversation it's gonna be okay he's McCurdia yeah no he's like addicted to the cards to the cards yeah no i've always felt that way it's like he doesn't really listen for people's answers because he's looking for his next question whereas the next question could come organically if you just listen right and like you can't listen to the answer if you're looking for your next question but i understand how with some people it's like you know a like an actor or something it's like you need 20 minutes to ask them every question from all the fans that and the fans are going to give you questions from a to z like I understand fine yeah but this is

scant of all what's to look I know this is your like super bowl who has more questions than Andy you're like the Tom Brady get it together yeah yeah so I'm just living for absolutely everything that's coming out of everyone was spotted filming yes Kristen is filming but also Kristen doesn't have a Vanderpump Rules contract so it's my understanding that a lot of the cast mates who have podcasts are limited in what they can say um but Kristen is not so Kristen released an episode that everyone was like eating up so if you want like some real BTSts check out kristen's podcast yeah i heard a clip but i forgot what i heard now but it was good yeah are you ready for our fifth and final story the news you've been waiting for sure the 2023 razzie winners are here

oh wow okay yeah big day yep big day worst I forget. I forget that the Razzies released the same time as the Oscars. They're so funny. They're so funny. Worst picture. Blonde. I agree. And I didn't see it. Worst actor.

Jared Leto. Morbius. I didn't see it, but I feel like that's pretty accurate. Worst actress. They forgot to update the winner, but I'm using that's pretty accurate worst actress they forgot to update the winner but I'm using deductive reasoning that it's Anna de Armas blonde yeah by the way total sidetrack but like Elvis literally didn't win one Oscar uh there were a few where I thought that they might win like for um costumes like effects yeah and set design because they really

recreated but to recreate something is different than creating something out of nothing even though all quiet on the western front one and they recreated world war one but like that's to create like you know a battlefield it's kind of harder than like a a set that already existed you're just recreating like a stage in vegas like i just thought it was like kind of crazy how like it was like such a big movie but like when you really boil it down like it was like low-key not good like he was amazing and the music like the movie itself was like kind of bad I liked the movie a lot but it wasn't an Oscars movie no there was something a little too corny about it and I would say the corniness came from Austinler yeah cheesy yeah but i'm happy that he had his moment

me too worst remake ripoff or sequel that's a funny category pinocchio wow even though it won worst supporting actor tom hanks elvis oh my god thank you i finally feel seen from the razzie's thank you worst screen couple who's that tom hanks and his latex laden face and ludicrous accent elvis agreed thank you razzie's finally doing something important that is so funny how they um just make up like couples that's not yeah no they're so funny so funny we're screenplay blonde worst director Machine Gun Kelly and Mod Sun in Good Morning I don't even know what that is either so the Razzy's have spoken the Razzy's have spoken and you know what did they lie no lies were told.

And that's what's just so funny about, like, the Oscars and just, like, this, you know, very upper echelon filmmaking community is, like, they're giving out awards for best, when, like, the people, like, the Razzies, like, there are movies that are on both lists. Yeah. Gotta keep them humble. But you know who wasn't there?

Brendan Fraser. No, of course not. The Razzies would never. Everything everywhere all at once wasn't there either. Right. They must have liked it. Like actual good performances. They liked it.

So that's the end of awards season. I feel like we've been getting a lot of news out of like those, you know, core people. Ariana DeBose, Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, Angela Bassett. Austin Butler. Austin Butler. We'll see what next year's circuit brings and like I feel like this year's circuit was like not super a-list no and and that's what I was saying

like every year it's like the same people who are nominated for all the big award shows because they're in the big movies and so we just see them a million times and like I'm just tired of this bunch yeah this but because I don't think this bunch was very fabulous, honestly. Yeah. It had its key stars, Michelle Yeoh, but like, I don't know, overall it wasn't like the coolest crowd. No, it wasn't. You know?

It was not, but there was some really good stories in there. Brendan Fraser, Kim Hai Kwan, and that's better than some of the fabulosity of, you know, like Jessica Chastain winning again. Right. Even though, you know, Jessica Chastain really never disappoints. Uh, I just,

like, huh. Like, she's been out recently. I've heard she's really good in George and Tammy, which I've been meaning to watch, but like, you know how I felt about Tammy Faye.

Oh, I loved Tammy Faye. And then she won an Oscar for it. Oh, I liked it. I actually loved it. And by the way, know she's your like I love her and I love and she always looks amazing I thought she looked great last night why was she wearing a mask in the audience and then took it off like to talk like as if oh I'm talking the virus can't get me like if you're wearing a mask you have covid oh my god no way like has covid honestly fire call um no i thought that was weird too only like okay if you're gonna wear a mask like and someone's talking to you like you taking it off like literally defeats

the purpose of you putting it on so like you're either being performative defeats the purpose of you putting it like you're being performative or you don't fucking care which one is it uh i have or you have covid or you have covid and you really wanted to go no actually like now i'm gonna need there's no reason why she needs to be wearing a mask unless she has covid and like he still has a cloth mask right like sitting wearing a mask like bumper to bumper with 50 people around you it's so dumb because you're not helping anyone no no and then she literally took it off to talk like question mark she took it off her in the shared mic right with Malala and Colin Farrell yeah so that's our show that's your Oscars recap your pump rules recap your libs in recap And we've got a great week coming up

You know we've got Tuesday We've got Wednesday And then we also actually We have Thursday and Friday It's so true we do And not every other show has that No I would say I would argue none of them do

I heard Anne Heche was left out. Oh, you know what? She was. But then they did, for all the rest of the people who you know, who aren't famous enough to make the TV, go to this website. It was kind of like really fucking tacky. Like either include everyone or don't like, don't send people to a website to remember them,

you know? Yeah. It was really, really like tacky. Do you think she wasn't famous enough? I don't think so. Like people know her. No,

but like what would be the criteria for getting on TV and then getting on the website? Obviously like fame, Oscar winner winner nah fame fame i wanna live forever is that what they say i don't know let me look i know i know it goes like something like yeah i wanna live do they say fame yeah because the show's name is fame wait Wait, that's from Fame?
