Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the morning toast. I have extra energy this morning because it is the earliest we've ever recorded the toast. So, Claude, HYD. It's so early where we are. We have a very busy day, which is why we had to get started on this early. But I'm excited to dive in, chit chat, do all the things I gotta do and say. Hey. We have never recorded the toast this early in our lives. So let's see if we're really morning people. I know for a fact that I'm not, but I feel like, I don't know. I feel like I'm going to the airport, which is an exciting phenomenon in the queue. Ben, like I've never in my life woken up before Ben,

like ever. And I have a feeling he's going to come out any minute because I'm like being loud, but I'm sorry. You're working. Yeah. I'm on the clock. I clocked in. So where is Theodore Pachemin? He's roaming around the dining room table. Yes, I'm not in my living room for those watching on Zoom. I'm now in my living room because I don't want like Ben sleeping in the back of my Zoom. I just thought that would be like ugly. So Theo's up. He's working early as well. He's working the room. He's walking around the hallways, you know, just taking inventory of what's going on. Nice. Very nice. It wasn't as bad waking up early as I thought it was going to be, but I went to sleep a little bit early. I was reading all night, reading the Redheads book.

It is such a good book. I'm almost done with it. I'm going to be sad and excited when it's over, but I'm excited to record the episode because I think this was a real quality book. If you haven't read it yet, I think this might be my favorite Redheads book we've done so far. So exciting. Well, I was actually thinking last night about how I started the Redheads book we've done so far. So exciting. Well, I was actually thinking last night about how I started the Redheads book and I don't know how you guys do a book a month. Like I've been reading for two days and I read 25 pages. Like I don't know how you guys read so fast. Like I would like not be able to keep up with the Redheads grueling schedule. No, the schedule is grueling regardless, but in quarantine, we were doing two books a month.

We were doing episodes every two weeks and we're done doing that now because, um, you know, things are getting back to normal a little bit, but, um, it was, it was a lot. Yeah. No, I feel like I will finish my Angelou book like by the summer. Yeah. Well, our next episode drops like the first Thursday of July. So I think- Oh, I'm sorry. It is the summer. I thought it was like March for a second. I mean the winter or maybe the fall. The weirdest thing ever is like we went into this thing in March and it still feels like the world is on pause and we're waiting to unpause. Yet like we are very much in June. Like you could be wearing all white if you wanted to. I think the most unfair thing

about quarantine was that it happened like during the strictly during the spring months, which are like the best months for a million different reasons. Like we had to suffer through winter and now we're going to suffer through like a steamy hot New York and we never got spring. Yeah, I agree. My allergies are all right with that, but it was cruel. It was cruel. It was a cruel summer with you. Wow, that was not good. That was not your best. Oh my gosh. I went on TikTok for the first time in one whole month yesterday. I do not remember the last time I was on TikTok. I was scrolling on my For You page and I hear the voice of an angel.

You singing Defying Gravity. I tried to tell you. I literally tried to tell you on this show. I had no idea what you were talking about. You said this guy, he does a video and sings. But I didn't know that you were singing and he was accompanying.

That's what I'm saying. And by the way, I'm just trying to give you a compliment. I'm trying to say something nice. I just don't think you should be so surprised by my talent. You know, I've literally been singing for you every day of my life, like since we were born. Never said I was surprised by your talent. I was surprised to see you on my For You page

when I clearly had so much content to catch up on from my month's hiatus. Wasn't that beautiful? Claudia, that was beautiful. Yes, comedy special coming at you June 30th, available for pre-order on iTunes. Check it out, Claudia Oshry, disgraced queen. Yes.

Okay, well, we have a great show for you today. Not much to recap because I didn't watch a lot of TV yesterday. I just was trying to read. I was weirdly so busy. This week is crazy busy for us. We have a lot going on outside of the queue, which is crazy. So do you want to just get right into it? Yeah. We have some mindless news, which I'm excited about. And I want to recap something I watched on Instagram yesterday, not on TV. I literally did not turn my TV on. Okay. I will happily recap something I watched on Instagram yesterday, not on TV. I literally did not turn my TV on. Okay.

I will happily recap what you watched on Instagram because when I called you, you were watching it and you told me to watch it, so I watched it. So I'm happy to recap right alongside you. But before that. Before that, it is time for the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast. And that's true, Jax, but I just need a minute.

Bachelor fans create a petition to cast the first Black Bachelor. Tyler Cameron and more alums share a support. In its 18-year history, the Bachelor franchise has only ever featured one Black lead.

Bachelor Nation is ready to see some change. Franchise alums like Tyler Cameron, Rachel Lindsay, Lauren Burnham, Sian Fleming, Nicole Lopez-Alvar, Nick Vial, Diggy Moreland, and more have signed a Change.org petition titled a campaign for anti-racism in the bachelor franchise, demanding more diversity and representation amid the black lives matter movement. Over 20,000 people have signed the petition so far. I mean, this is just like insane. I didn't even realize I knew that the, the, um, the show had been on forever, but the petition, like the social card that was going around, it said 18 years, 40 seasons, one black lead. That's insane. And I feel like, especially in the last few weeks, like we've seen how important it is for the platform Rachel Lindsay has. Like she's just doing amazing things, and the fact that there's only one of her is a real shame.

Yes. This is just, it's been a long time coming for so long now. Now it's up to the fans to make a petition. I hope that the Bachelor franchise listens, because this is what people want. Yeah, and you know what? It seems so strange. Like, they almost go out of their way not to choose

because they had Mike Johnson, like, in the running most recently, and, like, they just went out of their way to give it to Peter. And after the season we got with Peter, like, I don't know if anyone could have been a worse choice. That's true. They went out of their way to not give it to Mike Johnson, even though, like, the audience was very vocal about wanting him to have it. So it's very strange.

And I read a quote, E! News posted about this, and they posted a quote from Rachel Lindsay talking about this. And Rachel was like, 40 seasons, like that's almost as many presidencies. Like you now have just as much of a chance as becoming the president as a black person than you do as becoming the lead of the Bachelor franchise.

And honestly, it was like a hilarious and really weird metaphor. Yeah. Yeah. Not metaphor. Sorry. Comparison. I think,

yeah, I think that was a good word choice. It's just like, it's really late. It's really late. So, I mean, who even knows what's going on with the bachelor now?

Like when it came to Claire season and paradise, and usually they start filming The Bachelor in September. So they really have an opportunity right now to just switch it up. You know, Claire's season, it doesn't have to happen the way, you know, like they could make this change now and let their audience know that they hear them. What are your theories? Well, that's true. My theory is that, like, first of all, this is not a theory. I think that in their own weird way, Bachelor Corporation

thought they were being inclusive by giving it to an older woman so as not to be ageist, but that's not really the inclusivity people are demanding. So I was just going to say that, but that's not my theory. My theory is that I feel like Claire Crawley is just the type of person who's, like, unlucky, you know? Like, and I think that, like, they might actually take this away from her just to give it to a more diverse lead. And that would just be, like, so Claire Crawley. Do you know what I mean? 100.

100%. Like, so close. And, like, if it weren't for the pandemic, like, she would have already filmed it. Yes. It's, like, so many things happened and she couldn't become the lead. I completely agree with both of your points, but I just, I have another one. Oh, you, but you shared two, two wonderful points. No, I said the first one wasn't a point. It was just an anecdote.

It was an aside. Okay. It was an aside. It was the mashed potatoes. side. It was the mashed potatoes. Or I feel like Tyler Cameron's friend, Matt James, could start being groomed to be on the next season and then ultimately be chosen as the Bachelor. Yeah, that could happen. I could see that happening too. Or if there's no Bachelor at the season, there's no Bachelor in Paradise, and they just want to get right on track with their usual scheduling programming and film The Bachelor in September, they could choose Mike Johnson for once and for all, you know? And it's not like we have to get to know someone new and we could just kind of like pick up where we left off sort of. That's the redo of Peter's season that we deserve. Oh my God. Like what a waste

of time. It would be one thing if they, like, you know, like, so obviously didn't choose Mike Johnson, and we got, like, an incredible season out of it, but we got, like, a terrible Bachelor. Yeah. But at least Mike Johnson got a date with Demi Lovato. That's true. No, I'm happy for him.

Know that you are. Also, I just remember when they announced rachel lindsey as the first black lead like it felt like this new frontier you know like it was like a new better bachelor but it just never really um got there no they thought like their work was done when in reality it was just starting yeah it's just it's actually crazy how long they've gotten away with it. Yeah, I agree. But now the fans are demanding change.

Yeah. I hope that they actually listen to Bachelor Nation. I hope so too. Anna de Armas has a life-size cutout of herself outside of her home. Anna de Armas appears to be having some fun with the paparazzi who regularly swarm outside her house, parentheses, after she calls them. She calls them. The Knives Out star who is dating Ben Affleck now has a life-size cardboard cutout of herself

on the lawn, and she apparently had a little help schlepping it there. Bolcher reports that Affleck's three kids with ex-Jennifer Garner, daughters Violet, Serafina, and Samuel pitched in with carrying it. The Cuban-born actress and Ben Affleck have been dating since meeting on the set of their film Deepwater in 2019. Since then, the actors have enjoyed Johns to Havana and Costa Rica. So I guess this is like a little prank on the paparazzi. And I just wanted to let you know, like, there are some people who are getting off this ship. Yeah, no, like before quarantine, like the way I reported on them was just like ship, ship, ship, ship, ship.

And now it's been a little while since we spoke about them. And I'm officially here to say, like, they are a joke. Like, this is really disappointing. Like how many, you know, steps they've taken down from like A-list. They're really reminding me of like, like a sad version of Camilla and Sean. A hundred percent. And it's like, they were in my eyes so A-list when they stepped on the scene together and it looked like someone truly caught them stepping on the scene. But now in quarantine, like they clearly had this whole PR rollout for their relationship. They had to amend

it with masks and dog walks and like social distancing. And it's just so corny. And my shipdom has definitely shrunk in size since the last time we spoke about these two. It's so corny and so disappointing from what should have been like two A-list megastars. Like this is tacky as hell. Yeah. Like this is real C-list behavior. Totally. Or like teeny bopper behavior. Yeah. Or fake relationship behavior, PR stunt for our movie behavior when it's like, I actually think they're in a real relationship. Like you don't have your kids log a picture, a life-size picture of your girlfriend if, you know, she's not in their lives in a real way.

Or if she's like your work girlfriend, you know? Yeah, totally. But I'm just like looking at this picture of them and like they are so cute. I just don't know why they keep doing this. Like why do they feel the need to keep doing this? Like, I think a really brilliant narrative would have been, like, if before quarantine we saw those pictures of them on the beach.

Like, those looked very candid. Like, I don't think that those were set up. Like, we got that, and then we found out that they spent all of quarantine together, and then boom, awards season. Like, they're on every red carpet. Like, to me, that would make it seem so much more authentic. This is just, like, making me hate both of them. Yeah. I guess people are getting impatient because they don't know when award season is going to be. That's true. I mean, it's really putting like a halt in like a lot of

the major celebrities like press schedules. Yeah. So I think celebrities are kind of just like doing what they want in this time. It must be like a nice time for them to sort of fly under the radar. Yeah. Well, it depends what kind of celebrity you are. Like some celebrities literally cannot live without like the celebrity life, like the press, the fans, the adoration. Like they literally need that in their veins. And then some people I genuinely crave are like, they're like down to earth. They crave just like real like life. Yeah. And they are really love the art of acting and that's why they happen to also be celebrities, but really they're just, they're passionate about their craft. Right. That's why they got into this line of work,

you know, for the art. Yes. And they just happen to like become a big star. Who do you think of as someone like that? I feel like when I think of that, I think of like Charlize Theron. Oh really? I think, I always think about like Jennifer I think of that, I think of like Charlize Theron. Oh, really? I think – I always think about like Jennifer Lawrence. You know, the fact that she's not even on social media. She's just not interested in the whole game. I think when she goes to award shows, she's into it and it's fun and like it's just exciting. But generally speaking, I think she just likes the craft.

Did I tell you on this show that I watched Bombshell? I don't think on this show. I think off the show. I haven't seen it yet, but I really want to. And you know what I liked about it most is that me and Ben watched it together. And afterwards, we had like a very, we like talk about nothing. Like we literally get in bed and like we, we talk like in baby talk to Theo. Like we don't have real conversations real conversations anymore and after that movie like it just spawned a really like mature in-depth conversation just about like the me too movement and like that's what i enjoyed like we got to talk like adults instead of being like i'm a crunchy angel boy yes you are so cute oh you love your crunchy mama you love your mama. Yes, you do.

You love me and I love you. Yes, my boy, I love you. Good boy. Yes, crunchy angel. So we spoke like human beings. It's so tempting just to do that all the time. That's literally what I do when I'm around. Do-do-do to Theodora.

Do-do-do to Theodora. Do-do-do to Theodora. Perfect champion. Crunchy angel Dora. Theodora. Theodora. Perfect chairman Dora. Beautiful, precious Dora. One and only Dora. Lovey boy Dora. Special angel Dora.

Favorite nephew Dora. This is literally like Jackie and I made up this song. Like, because we would call him Theodore, Theodora, Dora the Explorer. Like, and this song just, we go on forever. We go back and forth. Soft and lovely Dora. Favorite man, Dora.

Cheeks and lips, Dora. I love you, Dora. So delicious, Dora. And nutritious, Dora. I love you, Dora. So delicious, Dora. And nutritious, Dora. Swirly twirly Dora. Precious angel Dora. Beautiful chairman Dora. Yeah, no, I guess we've never shared that song, but we sing it every single time. And we just go on and every day we're in the studio for some reason we always start singing it when you're putting his leash on to go out and we sing it all the way down until we have to walk separately yeah it's a good time um no you didn't tell everyone that you watch bombshell but you know what else i didn't tell everyone that i

watched a few weeks ago board versus ferrari, you told me about it. Yeah. I understand why, like at the end when they give you the true facts of the people that they, the stories about, like I understand why it felt like a story that needed to be told, but ultimately I don't think they did a great job. Well, I watched, speaking of stories that didn't need to be told, Ben made me watch his favorite movie. And like Ben has the worst taste in movies. Like if it's Ben's favorite movie, just like know that it's a piece of shit. So he made me watch Kicking and Screaming, the Will Ferrell movie where like he's a soccer coach. Yeah. It was actually pretty funny. I'm sure it was. I remember it as being quite funny. I feel like it would age well. What a random selection for your favorite movie. Beyond random, but very Ben.

Oh, yeah. He's nothing if not consistent. No, no, not at all. Okay, ready for our next story? Kind of sad switching gears. Vanessa Bryan seeks extensive damages over the helicopter crash that killed Kobe and Gianna. The basketball legend and his

13-year-old daughter died in January alongside the six other occupants of the helicopter, and now Vanessa Bryant is seeking extensive damages from a California helicopter company after their deaths. On Monday, Vanessa Bryant submitted a case summary statement to LA Superior Court that details the extensive damages she is pursuing from her wrongful death lawsuit against Island Express helicopters, whose pilot was flying a helicopter carrying Kobe, Gianna, and six others when it crashed on a foggy morning on January 26th. While the documents obtained by People do not specify the exact amount Bryant is seeking, it estimates the family has lost, quote, hundreds of millions in future earnings due to Kobe's

untimely death. Quote, as a result of Kobe Bryant's and GB's deaths, Vanessa Bryant seeks economic damages, non-economic damages, prejudgment interests, punitive damages, and other relief as the court deems just and proper, the document says. Although the total specific amount of personal injury damages that plaintiff seeks is TBD. Kobe Bryant's future lost earnings equal hundreds of millions of dollars. It continues. Attorneys representing everyone did not respond to a request for comment. Get it, get it, get it, get it. My only concern is that there's such a big lawsuit here. Of course they're going to win. I don't know if this helicopter company like sometimes you

can get sued and when you don't have the money like you just file for bankruptcy and like vanessa william vanessa bryant could hypothetically not get the money like that's what i'm worried about like i want her and the other families like to get the cash yeah i i want that for them as well i haven't heard anything about um you know, the company filing for bankruptcy yet, but she just filed these papers on Monday. So I'm sure it's going to be quite a road to get to what they deserve. But do you think that like a California-based helicopter company like has $100 million in the bank?

Maybe. No, but like with insurance policies, you know know i don't know how all of that works but um yeah who knows well i hope they get every penny the bryants and all the families that were involved um this is just like the story that keeps like being um updated and it's just like such a pit yeah like last week would have been um gg's graduation it's just so sad the pit like never gets smaller no and ben is like still like mourning yeah it's crazy like i can't like can't believe so much has already happened this year like what a fucking year this i know that poem went viral like what if 2020 is not canceled but like honestly this year fucking sucks like i would very much like to cancel it but i like how people are being

optimistic and i see you and i appreciate you and keep doing it but i'm canceling this year yeah no i mean, everyone was like getting so down on 2020 that I'm glad that that poem went around because we do need like some optimism and just like to be thinking positively because if the year's truly canceled, then that means that the next six months like don't matter, period. And we need like some positivity, You know? So I like the poem. Positivity. I liked the poem. Positivity.

Positivity. Was that our fourth story? No. Our fourth story is some sweet, mindless news because Christian McCaffrey's quarantine birthday had Olivia Culpo and the unicorn cake. Olivia Culpo and boyfriend Christian McCaffrey are still in quarantine together with his family and her sister,

which is just a remarkable feat, may I say. Truly. And on Sunday, they celebrated his 24th birthday. Oh, he's young. And they showered the Panthers running back with plenty of love and a colorful unicorn cake. She posted on Instagram, happy birthday to my best friend in the whole world.

Unicorns really do exist. I love you, baby. She posted a really cute picture of them with a really cute cake. I didn't know Christian McCaffrey was into unicorns, but I'm here for it. I mean, I saw this picture and I thought that they got engaged. They haven't even been dating for so long, but in the quarantine, to be quarantined with someone else's family, like to me, they're now at the stage like of intimacy. Like they've been married for five years, you know? A hundred percent. Even people who are married for five years, I don't know if they could have done quarantine. I think they're truly in three months with his whole family and her sister, which is like, no, not, it's one thing to be there with someone's family and like be on your best behavior and just, like, I feel like she's very, you know, I could see her being a good guest in your home, you know, because she, like, she cooks and she's fun and she's nice, whatever.

But, like, to have your sister, too, and, like, to have to, like, you know, just bring her into the fold, like, that's a lot of pressure. Yeah. I feel like people who have been married for five years haven't actually even spent a cumulative three months, like every day, like just time-wise. Like, I mean, I see my in-laws all the time, but like, I don't know if like, if you added it all up, would it add up to more than three months? Actually, it definitely would because we've been on vacation together. Maybe with all the trips. Yeah. I think maybe I just, I just about hit it, but still it's so different when you have breaks in between. Like, it's not even the same.

She is on another level. I know. And, like, do you think they want her out? Or, like, they're, like, living for it. I can't tell. Like, I'm living for it. And so, from the outside, I don't know. I feel like Christian's mom is, like, living for it.

But, like, maybe the dad is, like, I wish all these people would get the fuck out of my house. Yeah, that was, like, a rumor that i read that was like completely unfounded um but you know like yeah i think i think it's it's nice to have just a bunch of different people i just can't believe they're still there because like i feel so shocking i feel like they could have gone home if they wanted to by now. Yeah. I mean, people are flying commercially and you could definitely fly private. And I also can't believe that he's turning 24. Yeah, he's so young. That was really surprising. I did not know that he was such a bebe. Yeah. He's like a bebe, but also like a beef patty. He's just so meat like. So meaty. So meaty.

Oh, wait. What was that thing from The Soup? Yeah, from The Soup. So meaty. Yeah. That show was so good back in the day. Yeah. No, and it's back now, and it was pretty good, too.

And it was on. Yeah. What happened to it? It was, like, four episodes. I think, like, they had to stop filming because of quarantine. And so. But it was good. But I feel like if any show could be shot remotely it's the soup so there's literally one person in front of a green screen that's true i don't know whatever unfortunately i don't have the answers so those are our four um mindful stories and then for our fifth story we've got ourselves a little kelly's mindless news like the fourth of

july okay ready it's i mean i don't know how i lived my life without knowing this and thankfully as always people magazine is at the forefront of delivering mindless news to the american people kelly rippa says josh dumel would play with her son for hours on the set of All My Children. Shocking. Chilling. Wait, so for hours? Hours. Not minutes.

Hours. Kelly Ripa is sharing a sweet memory of Josh Duhamel. During Monday's episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan, Rippa, 49, opened up about the first time her son Michael, now 23, met Duhamel on the set of All My Children. I'm going to tell you a story about Josh Duhamel, Rippa began, before she and Ryan Seacrest welcomed the actor as a guest on their show. This morning when we were setting up and he was doing a sound check, I had to grab Michael and I said, I want you to see somebody.

When we both worked at All My Children together, Josh, there's a handful of people who were born to be parents that I've known in my life, Josh being one of them. He was like a young kid. He was in his early 20s when we had Michael. He would sit and play with Michael who was a toddler for hours. And Michael used to call him the Iron Giant. I can't. Is that it that it i mean there's more but but i literally you want me to please no please no oh i thought you were like please read more

please i mean i just am so glad this segment exists because it's like been this thing in my brain where i'm like why are there's always like dumb news stories by Kelly Ripa and now that we're like pointing it out I'm hoping the American people will see the light and okay I just want to share something because I had seen it like a few weeks ago when we started KMN like the 4th of July and um someone had said like it's like we don't get these stories about like Hoda or Jenna Bush Hager because they like do news stories they don't have that segment at the beginning of their show where they like share mindless things that they did this week or whatever which is fine but i my problem is like why is it written up every single day

what you like whatever she shared in the beginning of the show that was like truly fucking mindless you know i understand why there's so much mindless news because she is a daily host like she's putting daily content in the daily. Daily mindlessness out there. Yeah. And I get that. But like, there are a lot of people with daily shows like that are not news-based like Kelly Clarkson. Like there's a million. I just want to say like Kelly Ripa is on another level. And I just, I think it's worth noting. That's it. It's definitely worth noting. And like, even Ryan Seacrest, like I don't see Ryan's mindless news every day, whatever he shares about like what happened to him that morning you know what when we were looking for

stories yesterday I actually did see a piece of mindless news he's thinking of moving to LA full time like oh yeah I saw that too and I only found it to be interesting and I wasn't I was almost like but not really gonna choose it as a story because remember like he's like flies back and forth like he does a show in LA every He hosts a live morning show in New York. He literally lives on an airplane. And I think that's just crazy. His schedule is so crazy. So when I saw he was going to move to LA permanently, I was like, good.

That schedule, that life was unsustainable. It is unsustainable. And even when he made that decision, he was like, he hosts Kiss FM, the number one radio show in California. And then you're going to host a morning show in New York. Like it's just too far. No, like you, you actually can't be both people. You can't be a live morning host on a show in New York.

And then also the most popular radio in California, even though I think most of the time he does his California radio from the iHeartRadio station in New York, which is just like, honestly, like such a betrayal. No, it's just not the same. So, and also I feel like I'm always seeing videos of him like in the studio with Tanya Rad, like in LA. That's true, actually. I just don't understand how it works, for real.

It's just, it seems exhausting. I'm exhausted for him. Yeah. Whew. I'm exhausted for him. Yeah. Whew. I'm tired. Let's dive into TV recap. And I forgot that I do have one thing I want to recap before we dive into the Instagram live we're going to talk about.

Okay. RuPaul's All Stars new season started on Friday and I watched it last night. First of all, I can't believe they don't call it RuPaul stars. Interesting. It just sounds weird to say RuPaul all-stars. So I just call it all-stars, but it should be RuPaul stars. Love that. I agree. I think that everyone knows like I am a Shea Coulee stan and I just want to put out into the universe. Like I do believe she's going to win. She's, I mean, honestly, in the first challenge first challenge she was like a little disappointing but she's just getting her feet wet like she's gonna figure it out um she's just like was meant to win in season nine and like the

fact that she didn't is just a disgrace so i think she's gonna have her moment um blair st claire was like someone i really honestly like in the, she was you as a drag queen. Okay. Really? She had a very, um, like soft face, like cherubic, like you, like she looked like a child. Um, she usually had red hair and she was very like pale skin, very porcelain. Um, but now, and she was like always dressing like she was in the fifties, like bless St. Clair. Like that was her, her like drag aesthetic. But now it's like, she went through like puberty in the 50s like bless saint claire like that was her her like drag aesthetic but now it's like she went through like puberty and now she's like a kardashian like she wears like short dresses and like she's just like she went through a real um like genesis but

i don't know i liked that even though she annoyed me before like she had something specific like now she's just like everyone else yeah i feel that so she just like annoys me um whatever um ricky martin was the guest uh judge and like it was just everything of the sort like he obviously watches drag race like i love when you could tell someone watches drag race like sometimes they come on like for the press or just like to be you know a part of the vibe but like when you when you know someone watches it like it's just so much better and ricky martin was an amazing guest judge. Like all the queens were like gagging the house when he came in.

Like it was because he's like so fucking cute. And then spoiler alert, if you didn't watch it, Derrick Barry got sent home. And this is like an interesting element of drag race. Like a lot of the queens are impersonators because that's what like a big part of being a drag queen is. Like people want to go see in Vegas, like a Britney of the queens are impersonators um because that's what like a big part of being a drag queen is like people want to go see in vegas like a britney drag impersonator so derrick berry has been on um like a few seasons ago and now he's on all stars and like all stars is the creme de la creme of the real seasons and like he's just not creamy like i don't know why he was i don't know why he was chosen like he stunk um and he's a

britney impersonator he's a britney impersonator which is like it's tough because the judges want you to see want to see you do like different looks they don't want to see you being britney every single time like then that's like yeah one one trait and he was just like always fucking doing britney like literally he showed him britney like all he did was britney like it was so annoying and it's like he didn't listen to any of the critiques when he was on his season because they didn't want Brittany and he came in and the challenge and gave them Brittany and that was just not creamy no not creamy except very interestingly enough like one season an impersonator actually won um she was a Cher impersonator but she was so much more dynamic it was just like a part of her

repertoire. Whereas like Derrick Barry is defined by his Britney aesthetic. And that's just not the type of queen you can be if you want to win all stars. Understood. By the way, speaking of Britney, I was watching TikTok last night and I just saw like such an incredibly interesting talk. I'm not sure if you've seen it and if this is old news, but there's this TikTok like of this girl discovering like, you know how Britney Spears has this song, my loneliness is killing me. I've heard of it. Later in her career, she releases a song called Stronger.

And it's, my loneliness ain't killing me no more. I am stronger so it's just a little interesting character development that i discovered on the talk shout out to the girl who realized that very interesting um okay and our final thing we want to recap is the instagram live that um bravo put on yesterday, hosted by Justin Sylvester with Kandi Burress, Giselle Bryant, and Portia Williams. It was to amplify Black voices, talk about what's going on. A lot of the housewives that I just mentioned have been super involved. They've been going to protests. And I just thought it was so fabulous. For a million reasons, I feel like they reached a whole new audience of people who like might not have

tuned into something like that if it were on TV. Portia went first and I'm not gonna lie. I watched Portia and Giselle. My sushi came and then I had to go eat and it was really long. Like it was like, I think it was like 90 minutes. Yeah. My food came in the middle also. And I like took my phone in my pocket with me. Like it was like ampl. I thought it was so well done. And Portia and Giselle, both Giselle's father and Portia Williams' grandfather were both very well-known civil rights activists. And it's clear that they take their legacy so seriously because they were just speaking truth, truth bombs left, right, and center. Like Justin was living for it.

It was just like, so it was everything that like someone like me needed, you know, like a combination of everything that I love. And it was just, I really wanted to commend Bravo because I thought it was like a great platform to do it on. A ton of people were watching. Um, and it was just, they were being like funny and powerful and inspiring. And I just, Portia and Giselle, um, are my favorites from either franchise. So I thought they did a great job at choosing those two and I did miss Candy. So I don't know what she said. I don't want to speak on it because I didn't see, but, um, I just wanted to share it's available on their IGTV and I really thought it

was fabulous. Yeah, it really was fabulous. Um, you should definitely go watch it. I didn't see. But I just wanted to share. It's available on their IGTV, and I really thought it was fabulous. Yeah, it really was fabulous. You should definitely go watch it. I didn't realize it was on IGTV. That's great, because it was a great conversation, and also funny, and just empowering, and fabulous. And then tonight, Portia's back. Watched Reppin's Live, I think, is doing a two-hour special. I don't know if it's pre-recorded or live on the Black Lives Matter movement. So she's going to be on again tonight on TV, which it starts at 11 and two hours. That's like 11 to 1, which is really late for Bravo. I don't know why they're doing that, but I will record it because I will definitely be asleep.

Oh, yeah, especially since we woke up so early today, but that sounds so exciting. Yeah, it was good. I really enjoyed it. I mean, it was just bad. I don't know if I just like loved it because I love the lady sitter and I just like love everything that he does, but it was really good. No, it was really good. And even all of the comments, like everyone was just like, it was really impactful. Yeah. A lot of the comments. And I saw actually Olivia sent me, um, there was like this statement signed by a lot of like well-known podcasters, Bravo fan accounts, like Bravo related creators, um, asking them to put the conversation that they were having on Instagram live, like asking them to air it and that like they weren't

doing enough, um, putting it on social media. Like they really wanted it to be on TV and all the comments were, were flooded with like, you should have put this on TV. You should have put this on TV. And while I agree, like a bigger platform might've been, um, better. I just felt like the, the format was so well done. I don't know if you could have emulated that on TV. And I don't know, you reach such a different group of people on social media and there were tons of people watching. I don't know. I didn't have a problem with it being on Instagram, but a lot of people found it to be very controversial that like maybe Bravo wasn't doing enough, but they are having this two hour special tonight. But I just thought that was interesting and worth

sharing that like this petition had kind of gone around. Oh, I haven't seen it yet. Share it with me. I will. Okay, cool. Well, I think that is maybe all that she wrote. She looks like she's getting a little tired. Are you talking about me? No, she who's writing. Oh, yeah. Her wrist is like really cramping.
