Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Tuesday. Happy Disgraced Queen Day. Happy June 30th. Happy Everything Day. What an amazing day to be alive! It's Disgraced Queen Day. It's DQ Day, not to be confused with Dairy Queen Day, which is also my favorite day. I think that in honor of DQ Day, we should all head to DQ, get a blizzard, and watch Disgraced Queen, available now to stream where streaming services are. I absolutely love that idea. Like, I know you're not serious, but I am, about the Dairy Queen part.
Starting point is 00:00:31 I could so go for a Blizzard. So my special came out last night at midnight. If you pre-ordered it on iTunes, it automatically downloaded it, and I watched it on my Apple TV. And it was just, I can't explain what it's like to see yourself on TV. It's everything of the sort. And I also, like, was, I worked't explain what it's like to see yourself on TV it's everything of the sort
Starting point is 00:00:45 um and I also like was I worked so hard on like my glam and my snatchness for that day and I'm like so proud of the payoff because I watch it and like of course my double chin like bothers me a little bit but like I'm really pleased with the way that I look which doesn't always happen for me so that's literally all I care about I've watched a special so many times I watched it again last night and I'm just loving everyone tagging me in it. Thank you guys so much for watching it. Thank you guys so much for purchasing it. I really, really appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:01:09 I'm like so proud of it. Like I have a comedy special, bitch. Bye. It's so exciting. I haven't watched it yet. I'm saving it maybe tonight, maybe this weekend. We'll see. I mean, it's just so sad.
Starting point is 00:01:23 I had all these plans like for what I was going to do for the release. I wanted to rent out a movie theater at iPic and like invite invite literally everyone and their mothers but that unfortunately didn't happen for me even though I'm not that upset about it because I had the hardest time staying up till midnight last night I had such a bad migraine literally like in my eyebrow it was all day so annoying and all I wanted to do was go to sleep to make it go away but I couldn't um and I was like yawning falling asleep I did a live at 12 to like celebrate it was literally the most boring live I was so tired but now I'm like I've slept eight hours and I'm reinvigorated with a disgraced queen spirit and nobody can stop me reinvigorated with the disgraced queen spirit also I'm wearing my disgraced queen merch which is available at
Starting point is 00:02:00 shopmorningtoast.com in sizes like small through 3xl so there's tons of sizing sizing options available. I'm wearing an XL. Honestly, it's a little oversized. I think I could also wear a large, but you know me, I'm an oversized queen in addition to being a disgraced queen. Exactly. In addition to just shelling the shit out of my special, we have a fabulous show and some construction behind us. Oh my God. Feel free to, construction has resumed in phase one in New York and like people, the construction companies are going wild the construction is out to play everywhere you go in the city not just in our studio in our ear there's construction happening it is so loud and so noisy but you know what like it means life is being breathed back into New York but that was really crazy I thought they were going to come through the window unfortunately like we are literally next to a construction site
Starting point is 00:02:43 like some people like you know they fix potholes there's you know a little bump in the road some some scaling a building window washing no there's a full-blown building being built next to us that's going to be like a four-year project right in the building next to us there is level it's a it's a lot it's a lot so um it'll it'll be exciting to watch them progress over time. Yeah. Maybe we'll move in there after they're done. Yeah. So we now, we do have a soundtrack of the construction sounds. And it's fabulous. Because if you're listening to the show and somewhere not New York,
Starting point is 00:03:14 you can feel like you're in New York. The energy. That's what's so amazing about the morning toast. Aside from being a premium morning show, giving you all your news that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite of your morning toast. It is also kind of like a transporter. You know, you feel like you're in New York.
Starting point is 00:03:30 You almost smell it. You hear the sirens and the construction. You could smell the dog shit on the street. It's really a... It's a transformative experience. It's an interactive experience. It is. So, you know what?
Starting point is 00:03:41 I don't think many other podcasts can offer you that kind of quality. That's what I'm saying. I don't think so either. So offer you that kind of quality. That's what I'm saying. I don't think so either. So here we are ready to do that. Oh, also, we've been working on our audio because we saw that people were having an issue with one ear bud working, the other one not. So hopefully it's fixed today. If it's not, let us know.
Starting point is 00:03:58 We are striving towards getting that right for you. So keep us posted. But we tried something different today. Yes, and it's fabulous. So let us know if you know what. Here let me do a little audio test. Pre-order my comedy special. Well not pre-order. It's out. Oh fuck. Oh my god. I got so used to that. Order my comedy special Disgraced Queen on iTunes. It's also available on Amazon and a couple other places that I keep forgetting to remember. But something about Dish Network. I'll post all the details on my Instagram. Well it's just like we were saying last week, if you have an Apple TV,
Starting point is 00:04:28 you can just use the overall search, which is just an incredible feature that changes the game. It's an incredible feature. And speaking of TV, in our TV recap segment, I'm dying to talk about Athlete A, which is the Larry Nassar documentary that I just have so many thoughts on. So we will do that at the end of the document, at the end of the episode. So many people were asking me to recap it and I didn't know what it was about because Athlete A doesn't exactly scream like Larry Nassar. But I stumbled upon it on Netflix and it was very good. And I have many thoughts. Many thoughts. Can't wait to hear. I didn't watch anything yesterday because I was reading for the Redheads, our Maya Angelou book, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. I literally read it all day yesterday. I finished it last night at like 1 a.m. because I just couldn't put it down.
Starting point is 00:05:09 So I'm excited to talk about that on the Redheads. But no, I cannot contribute to the TV recap. When does the Redheads episode come out? First Thursday of every month. So it's dropping on Thursday, right before you head out for the holiday weekend. Fabulous. Okay, should we get right into it? I have some great stories actually I'm looking forward to discussing
Starting point is 00:05:26 The fast five stories that you need to know Before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast Fabulous Let's do it We should have a button Fabulous Oh my god, wait We need to record the Kelly's Mindless News bit
Starting point is 00:05:39 And we also need to record a fabulous bit Okay, let's add it to the to-do list We have a soundboard here That's like when you hear the crunch. We're very high tech. Yeah. It's premium. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:48 First story. Obviously, the news that dropped while we were recording yesterday. Cody is paying $200 million for 20% stake in Kim Kardashian brand KKW. Cosmetics giant Cody Inc. is doubling down on its investment in the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Shares of the Big Apple company jumped by more than 14% in early trading on Monday after it announced plans to sink $200 million into a 20% stake in Kim Kardashian's four-year-old KKW makeup brand. The deal calls for Kody to develop new products with Kardashian, including skincare, hair, and nail brands, and follows Kody's $600 million investment last year in the fledgling makeup
Starting point is 00:06:26 company of Kardashian's half-sister. Is it fledgling? Is that a negative word? Fledgling is a negative word, right? How dare they? Like that sounds like struggling, right? Let me just confirm that. Fledgling. But it's obviously not because if they're deciding to invest in Kim, that means that Kylie's investment went well. No, no, I think it's fine. I thinkgling is a good word I think it's a fine word a weird word for the choice it's about a bird I don't know um makeup company of Kardashians half sister Kylie Jenner where it now owns a majority stake so Cody bought over 50 percent of Kylie for what 600 yes so does this technically value Kim's at less or more? It values Kim at a billion. And now people are saying like,
Starting point is 00:07:08 she's the real billionaire in the family. Because like people are just continuing to pit these sisters against each other. What is that? I don't know exactly what goes on in their home, but I do know that they are so happy for one another. They're not like comparing their wallets. I agree with that.
Starting point is 00:07:22 But I do think part, like a small, very, very small part of Kim died a little bit when like her sister Kylie just like waltzed in with a billion dollar company after Kim like has been breaking her back,
Starting point is 00:07:33 putting the entire family on her back for the last 10 years. So I don't think they're competitive. I don't think a small part of her died. I think she's been working
Starting point is 00:07:40 and doing all these deals for like 10 years and I think when Kylie did it, it said that, like on the one hand, yeah, it was frustrating. She hit it out of the gate on the first try. But it said the template for what the rest of them were going to do in terms of direct to consumer makeup companies. For sure.
Starting point is 00:07:53 But I'm just saying, I think I don't know if we would even have KKW if it weren't for Kylie Cosmetics. I don't think that they're competitive. But I just think like with the billionaire thing, I think Kim cares a little bit. And like she just wanted to have it, you know, her own. Yeah. Well, now she's a billionaire and they're saying Kylie's not a billionaire and I just don't think either of them care whether or not Forbes considers them a billionaire no but I do think they care whether I consider them a billionaire and I do yeah oh they'll always be billionaires in my heart to me it's just like if you're rich you're a billionaire like there's a certain level of wealth it's like 500 million or a billion. It really doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Yeah. But like to those people, it matters. Financial people. And like to the people who are between 500 and a billion, like they just want to get to that. I think it's like the billionaire's club, you know. Yeah. It's a place to be. Kanye posted a very strange but lovely tribute to Kim on his Twitter.
Starting point is 00:08:46 There was some pictures of fruit and I didn't understand the whole fruit mentality. are you laughing no I'm not why I'm not I'm not laughing what's funny what did I miss nothing you're both like staring at each other did I say something did I say something bad with the fruit no you literally gave me that look like when I say something like bad no no no I'm sorry we can clear this up later like I swear okay so he posted a picture of fruit and like I didn't understand like the whole fruit metaphor but it was actually a lovely tweet even though some people were calling it insensitive like giving given the current climate like people are losing their jobs like you're bragging about your wife becoming a billionaire which I did agree with but he's really proud of his wife and it was so sweet he was like you've weathered so many storms like
Starting point is 00:09:21 nobody deserves us more than you and it was really really sweet we stand and we ship that's really sweet he also has new music coming out today yeah and he announced like a new album called god's country excuse me blake shelton blake shelton coming out with the trademark dispute yeah he's so weird about his music in the sense that like there's no like press or promo for it like it just comes i don't know i think think when Jesus is King was coming out, remember he was doing all of those really long interviews. Well, he did airplane karaoke. Yeah. No, he did. He did like beats one.
Starting point is 00:09:53 But then the album didn't even come out. There were always like one hour long Kanye interviews promoting Jesus is King. But then the album didn't come out. It was delayed three times. Yeah. But then it came out. Yeah. And we promoted it here on the morning test.
Starting point is 00:10:04 It was a really great album. Also, I think what's so interesting about this deal just from a consumer perspective is that they're going to be expanding into Kim Kardashian West hair and nails. You know, she does always have
Starting point is 00:10:15 like nice hands and nails. Yeah, and she doesn't do like long stiletto nails. She has like very like mom hands. But you know what's so interesting when you think about the cycle of the Kardashian and like the evolution of their businesses is that like where they are now is actually really where they started like they used to have that Kardashian beauty hairstyle and all of those brands that used to sell in like Kmart and of course what
Starting point is 00:10:37 they're doing now is more elevated and more streamlined but they really have always been um doing this in some way shape or form yeah but that's why it's successful I think everyone I don't think there's ever a question like does Kylie wear Kylie cosmetics right or does Kim wear KKW or does Kim wear Skims or does Khloe wear Good American right and so that is what they call authentic authenticity you know we know a lot about that here at the Morning Trusting is how we are two organic podcast interviewers organic and authentic and authentic. Organic and authentic. I'm so happy for Kim, you know. I just, money's always good, you know. It can't hurt.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Yeah, it can't hurt. And I really was like wondering, curious, excited for when she would hit that billion dollar valuation. And it's here. And she works hard. And congrats. Congrats, exactly. Honestly, I have a lot of,
Starting point is 00:11:21 in terms of like what I thought was going to make Kim a billionaire, I thought it was going to be Skims first, because to me Skims is just churning out sales and right sales sales drops drops drops sell out sell out sell out wow we did that together that was crazy that's how much it's happening yeah no and I thought that was probably going to be her billion dollar company and it was going to happen like just as fast as Kylie because like when Kylie came out with Kylie Cosmetics it was just like you knew it was right yeah the branding was right the idea was right Kylie everything was perfect and when Kim came out with KKW Beauty I was like yeah this is good but I didn't think it was going to be a billion dollar company but the second Skims launched and we got the product and it was just
Starting point is 00:11:54 good and everyone was loving it like I thought like that made sense that's going to be the billion dollar idea I still think that it could be another billion dollar idea and I hope that she keeps working at it yes um especially because I love this stuff I think it's the place I've ordered from most during quarantine well now they're moving into like not just shapewear but like pajamas and I have a set the pajamas are heavy I have like the modal light gray pajamas from like a few drops ago and they're literally the most comfortable pajamas I own I got those in cream they're the most comfortable pajamas I own I'm always looking for them on the site and I couldn't find them. But then she just did the summer pajama drop. And so I did get a pair of pajamas from the summer pajama drop. Summer pajamas are so important. I've been waking up with such fucking like sweat behind my
Starting point is 00:12:34 neck, even though I sleep, I have a, my air conditioning in my apartment is commercial. Like what you would use to cool down a Dwayne Reed is what I have in my house because the person who owns my apartment, like I guess is obsessed with air conditioning and I'm not complaining. So I sleep in 59 degrees. 59 degree air conditioning and I wake up sweating. Is that normal? No.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Hmm. And it's not like I'm having night terrors or anything. I just wake up with like this misty vibe on my skin. Yeah. That happened to me like a few nights in the last week where I just like woke up with like neck sweat. Right. And when you blot your hair and then you wake up with neck sweat it's literally one of the most annoying things ever.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Yeah it is quite annoying. These are my problems. I'm sorry. Claudia that's annoying. Oh my god yes it is. Pre-order comedy special. No order. I know but it's more fun to say pre-order. I know it sounds so legit. And it's also just like that's the joke that we've made and we're gonna continue on i'm so glad you agree okay next story someone is eclipsing kelly's mindless news who ryan seacrest and shana taylor split for the third time though they remain good friends like who in the hell knew ryan seacrest had a girlfriend i feel like we all knew he had a girlfriend no clue we ever since things dissolved between him and one julianne huff we just never put so much stock into his next relationship to me the last girl he dated is julianne huff and i mean they're both single now so really anything
Starting point is 00:13:59 can happen um but ryan secrets secrets and his girlfriend shayna taylor have split once again on monday representative for the longtime host confirmed that the couple have gone their separate ways um also concurrently secrets is currently vacationing in mexico with friends and is newly dating someone in that what yeah so he has a new flame which makes me feel like this breakup happened a while ago yeah um but maybe someone got pictures of him with someone else and they thought he was cheating so he had to like explain that he's no longer in a relationship and now he's in a new one yeah this is pr 101 and very handled very well by his representatives yeah um i just have a thought he definitely used like the same
Starting point is 00:14:39 people that kelly likes over at people magazine yeah they were like don't worry we got you we got kelly's like i got the girl just don't worry me text her. I'll put you all in a group chat. When it comes to Ryan Seacrest dating life, for some reason, I'm incapable of like seeing Ryan Seacrest like have a game. Like the idea, like trying to imagine him like picking up a girl. Like, I just feel like it's not he's not good at it. No, I just feel like he thinks that being Ryan Seacrest is enough. Right. And he like goes on a date and it's like, hey, it's me, Ryan Seacrest. Like, I'm not going to put on a date and it's like, hey, it's me, Ryan Seacrest. Like, I'm not going to put forth any further effort.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Take it or leave it. Do you want to be dating Ryan Seacrest or not? And that's where they go from there. And for most girls in Hollywood, I think that's enough. Yeah. That'd be enough for me. That would be, that would be a really great starting point. Yeah. I feel like if I were to ever, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:21 date someone in Hollywood, I'm very strategic. Like I'm not looking to fall in love with a celebrity because it's not realistic like they just they they all move on so fast so I would really be looking for more of like a strategic business partner a strategic partnership and Ryan Seacrest would be the perfect person for me to date like he has so many ends in media in reality tv and production and cable like he's really like a business mogul in in my industry and I would totally date him for like yeah some roles or something some jobs for sure I think that that would be a match made in heaven yeah no we're like we're the same height and I'm a little like the problem with dating someone short
Starting point is 00:16:00 is that like I'm so fat that like it just it brings you down it brings like the whole like we would just look so weird together but again I'd be getting all these new jobs that I wouldn't really care he would look very weird I would just look stout like and he maybe he would look tall I don't know I just I can't really picture us together but I do feel as though it's a match made in heaven yeah assuming things don't work out between him and Julianne oh actually things already haven't worked out because he's already in a new relationship. Right, allegedly. He's also, like, always in a relationship, that one.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Yeah, some guys, you know, I respect that. Some guys just like to be, you know, committed. That's beautiful. Ryan, that's beautiful. Ryan, that's beautiful. Okay, next up, a little entertainment news. Quibi is remaking The Princess Bride with Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Oh my god, I was literally about to write this story off. A bit of a misleading headline. Oh. But exciting nonetheless. Oh, what's the real story? Beloved 1987 film The Princess Bride is getting a DIY makeover for some of Hollywood's biggest names. Though the project is helmed by Juno director Jason Reitman,
Starting point is 00:17:02 who has previously staged live readings of the film's script, the remake was shot entirely at home by each cast member using their phones. Beginning June 29th, Quibi will release chapters of the fan-made movie every day for two weeks. The star-studded cast includes couples Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, Common and Tiffany Haddish, Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, Chris Pine and Annabelle Wallace, as well as Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Garner, Elijah Wood, Jon Hamm, Beanie Feldstein, Lucas Hedges, Jenna Ortega, Jack Black. Okay, so it's not hosted by Joe and Sophie.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Right. So it's an ensemble cast. And are they the Princess Bride? Also, I've never seen the whole movie. I saw the beginning of it and I saw those little animals. Is that the one where there's like those creatures? I've never seen it.. I've never seen the whole movie. I saw the beginning of it, and I saw those little animals. Is that the one where there's, like, those creatures? I've never seen it. It's before our time.
Starting point is 00:17:49 And they terrified me. Oh, really? Those creatures that are, like, in some sort of tunnel. I think I'm thinking of the right movie. And I just couldn't bring myself to watch such a horror flick. I've never seen it. Is Steve Martin in it? No, that's Father of the Bride.
Starting point is 00:18:03 I always confused the two also what's the princess bride the princess bride it's like um spooky a little bit right no I don't think so okay I found it to be quite spooky the first time well you know movies are universal so like you could have had a spooky experience and it's a fantasy adventure movie okay comedy film it's an American fantasy adventure comedy film directed and co-produced by rob reiner i feel like this is gonna be one of those things people who are listening are like you've never seen like when we hadn't seen um women's club what was that oh first wives club first wives club yeah well can we just go back to quibby for a second um because quibby is kind
Starting point is 00:18:40 of testing the model like if we throw enough celebrity talent at a wall, will it stick? And so far it's not sticking. And I think largely due to the fact that it's quarantine and most people are still working from home, even if their cities are reentering new phases and people aren't necessarily watching content on their phone. They're looking for TV to watch like bigger plot, bigger, literally bigger screens. And I've seen a lot of articles kind of regarding it as like a failure Quibi. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:08 I think it's also, it could still, you know, bounce back. It definitely was made for people on the go and no one's going anywhere. So that's definitely a setback, but some of the content just sounds exciting. I mean,
Starting point is 00:19:20 this Joe, Joe and I'll watch anything that would be Joe Jonas instead of Reed Turner, especially if they're like in a scripted love story like that. So incredible. So I like that they're thinking outside the box. I think maybe eventually something will stick. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Yeah. Chrissy's court is coming back for season two, even though I did watch it. I didn't love it. I just thought like I didn't agree with some of the judges rulings and it was a little silly at points. But Chrissy was like funny and cute and beautiful. And I love that she brought her sister in or her mom is her bailiff.
Starting point is 00:19:48 There was like cute elements to it, even though I had some notes. Okay. I'll send them over. We love notes. Yeah. Okay. Next story.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Exciting, interesting, curious. Rahoni stars debut new taglines for second half of season 12. The Real Housewives of New York ladies are back with new taglines for the second half of season 12, The Real Housewives of New York ladies are back with new taglines for the second half of season 12, which is something that's never been done before. Mid-season, we're getting new taglines and like a change to the intro,
Starting point is 00:20:13 which makes sense kind of on the heels of Tinsley's departure, but they always could have cropped her out. No, it makes no sense. It was like they literally just could have taken Tinsley out of the theme song and like nobody would have really noticed, but they made it this whole press moment it was like a people exclusive maybe they're having ratings problems and they wanted to like get some press I don't know maybe they had heard the cries of the people absolutely hating this season's taglines and gave us like
Starting point is 00:20:36 just as mediocre ones I don't know I kind of like them and I love reading taglines as if I'm a house wife me too Ramona's tagline so what if I'm self-involved? Who else should I be involved with? Six out of ten. I'll give her a seven. I'll give her a seven. Leah's new tagline. I'll say sorry for what I've done, but never for who I am.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Eight out of ten. I'm going to give her a nine. Luann's. I rise above the drama and won't settle for the lower level. Seven. Six. I understand like it's a hark back to the
Starting point is 00:21:06 lower level but like whatever she's trying to sell t-shirts dorinda mendley a zero i know it it's so terrible like a mint in my mouth i can be a bit fresh like actually a two i'm gonna give it a six i liked it i thought it was clever and like she can be fresh i don't like it um sonja morgan i think coming in with the win i'm no one's arm candy I'm the whole bowl of sugar they're all like making jokes based on this season you know what I kind of like that like but it wasn't that good of a season so far but like it's I mean it is a good season I think maybe we haven't been enjoying it maybe we're just like cynical cynical and have been watching for so long and just like tired and really missing
Starting point is 00:21:45 Bethany and I think it's like the Bethany stand within us that won't allow us to like a show without her but she chose to leave so yeah so you know she wanted us to move on no I know that and I love Leah and I but I can't ignore the fact that the show is not nearly as good of course it's not nearly as good because there isn't that like everyone's just getting away with everything um but there's no accountability police yeah and like sometimes it goes so off the rails like i'm not even sure what i'm watching and like and i feel weird for watching it because it's like this shouldn't be like entertainment right um but i think overall it's been it's been pretty good and i like that these taglines are so niche and very relevant to the season at hand. And I like a switch up.
Starting point is 00:22:29 I wonder if this is something they'll continue to do. It's just like a strange new thing for Bravo to change up the taglines. I don't mind. It gives me something to talk about and new content to watch. I'm just like, maybe it's the cynic in me. Just like everything the Real Houses of New York
Starting point is 00:22:43 do this season, I'm just like, meh, meh meh meh everything is just giving me meh vibes yeah I I'm not sure if it's you or if it's them like is it the quarantine speaking or does this show suck I don't know how do you feel about Beverly Hills fabulous so that's in quarantine too excellence at its finest did you see Brandon Glanville posted something salacious on Instagram yesterday? I saw a headline. She like allegedly posted a picture of her and Denise like kissing on the lips. I saw that. She's trying to make it very clear that her and Denise had some sort of affair
Starting point is 00:23:13 where I think Denise is going to deny it in the coming episodes. And Brandy wanted to make it very clear. And you know what? Brandy has a lot of things, but she doesn't really lie. She's just like a pot stirrer, but she never doesn't tell the truth. Right. But i think at a certain point i mean we'll see what how it plays out on the show but it's not about whether it's true or false it's whether like she should be sharing this information it's Denise's private
Starting point is 00:23:34 business agreed fifth and final story are you ready for it not not if it's not a little business it's not i'm not ready it's not a little bit of news. What is it? It's inside Rob Kardashian's transformation. Inside literally the greatest thing to ever. This year is a total wash, except for Rob Kardashian being so happy and healthy. He takes care of himself and works out. He wants people to know that he is doing well, a source tells People magazine, about Rob Kardashian, who attended Khloe's 36th birthday over the weekend. Rob Kardashian is focused on being the best version of himself. Though he has purposefully remained private and out of the spotlight in recent years,
Starting point is 00:24:10 a source tells people that he has been intentional about improving his overall well-being. Rob is doing well. He takes care of himself, works out, and eats better, the source says about Rob. For a long time, he was unhappy and embarrassed about the way he looked, but now he knows he looks better. He's comfortable enough to be photographed. He wants people to know that he is doing well. I mean, I'm so glad to hear he's doing well. And I feel like, I mean, it's not even about, maybe for him, it's about how he looks, you know, but for us, like, it's just so nice to see him like smiling and present and wanting to take photos. And just knowing that
Starting point is 00:24:43 like within himself, he's in a good enough place to be doing that yeah and you know I feel like Rob Kardashian is a testament to like first of all the fact that he really did disappear like people think celebrities have no privacy but like he did it like he disappeared it is possible if you wanted to and two I don't know what I just find it so interesting that he had like the whole world in his feet like remember those seasons where it's like Chris was like what do you want to do like we literally can make anything happen for you and he wanted to start Arthur George and he just really decided like that he didn't really want any of this and I find that so admirable in a lot of ways while I would literally never do it
Starting point is 00:25:12 I find it very admirable and I just love him and I have this like soft spot spot in my heart for him because he just those early seasons of like him and Adrian and like he was such an integral part of the family and I miss him but I'm like so happy for him yeah and I'm not sure that his comeback or being in photos includes him being on the show and and changing his way of life from what he's been doing for the past few years but it's just for the fans like it's nice to know that Rob's at the birthday Rob's doing well the birthday looked amazing sickening there have been like some sickening Kardashian parties and soirees during what's left of the queue. Kylie did her Kendall Kylie.
Starting point is 00:25:50 We never talked about how. They did a collab. They did a collab, which is actually big news because she was the only sister who hadn't done a collab with Kylie yet. And it was because she had a makeup contract. I think I said that, but like I wasn't sure. That made more sense than anything else ever. And so I really liked the. Did you get anything?
Starting point is 00:26:06 I didn't get anything because I wasn't at a computer and I hadn't like thought about what I would have wanted. I didn't really like investigate it. But it looks like really great stuff. Not that I'm ever going to get this type of information. But I would be so curious to see like some sales numbers for like which sister collabs do the best. I'm sure that the Kendall and Kylie one was up there. It was really good. There were like new products themselves.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Oh, cool. And it looked really on brand, on point, like stuff that you could really see yourself wearing as well as Kendall and Kylie. Her party in her basement was like sickening with the... That's the official word from Kylie Cosmetics spokesperson. That party she threw with the movie theater, it was so sickening.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Really like they're taking quarantine parties to a whole new level. They are. And they all have like branded masks. It was so sickening really like they're taking quarantine parties to a whole new level they are and they all have like branded masks it was so cute it was really cute same for Chloe's birthday party um I always love when it's Chloe's birthday she's just a light she is a light you see it when like everyone writes her birthday captions like it really encompasses everything that she is and I don't know I always like take stock of the fact when it's her birthday like on Instagram and the parties and the captions and the you know words of appreciation and it's always nice to see I don't know it's just always something that resonates with me back to Rob really quickly I'm so glad we're in this place and I know we've been in like a lot of different stages with Rob but I have to say my least favorite stage was like when he was technically on the outs with a lot of
Starting point is 00:27:22 his sisters because of the whole Black China thing like that made me really sad i feel like he was like so depressed and isolated for a while and when he like was even more isolated from his family like that was a really hard time for him even though like he was welcoming a child which is always a blessing um i'm just so happy like we are back together like i can't explain like how that makes me feel yeah no it makes me feel really fabulous I'm happy for everyone I feel like the Kardashians are doing well the kids are all right um North just turned seven she had a fabulous birthday party in Wyoming which was like country themed and it was just like so not her but I loved it yeah I loved it too she's like where's my Beverly Hills party for sure but like she can do it all she's been humbled yeah um time for recap. I'm dying to talk about the Athlete A documentary,
Starting point is 00:28:06 which for those who don't know, is the Larry Nassar USA Gymnastics documentary about the awful atrocities that were committed by Larry Nassar. But of course, as with all these documentaries, you really see how it was the system that failed the girls, not only Larry Nassar. Larry Nassar was disgusting. He would pretend that these were, like, medical processes
Starting point is 00:28:26 where he had to, like, ungloved, had to penetrate young girls without gloves. Like, it was so disgusting, and he was doing it all under the guise of medicine. And he's evil, and he's horrible. But what the documentary really focuses on is, like, how Maggie Nichols, justice for motherfucking Maggie Nichols, she was supposed to be on the 2016 team and she was like at the trials. She came in sixth.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Gabby Douglas had come in seventh, but they gave the spot to Gabby Douglas. But then there's always three alternates and she didn't get it. So there was like 12 girls total. Maggie Nichols was like six and they totally like didn't even let her go to the Olympics because when she was at that ranch, you those two old people marta and bali i think his name is they're like this older couple from romania and the documentary really shows how they totally transformed usa gymnastics because they were like big in romania and america wanted that and they came to america and it's like gymnasts used to be like full-grown women yeah
Starting point is 00:29:19 but in recent years like most gymnasts are like in their teens and 20s. And that's largely because of Marta and her husband. They like, they said it was for like, you know, gymnasts to be smaller and more compact and aerodynamic. But mostly it was because they could control younger girls more about like their body and about their weight and about their training. And it goes into like how abusive USA Gymnastics is, aside from Larry Nassar and the sexual abuse, like just abusive, like these ungodly hours like in Romania Marta and her husband like used to physically like beat the the girls like it was just so crazy and so they have this ranch where
Starting point is 00:29:55 they go like for the training before the Olympic trials and that's where a lot of Larry Nassar's um indiscretions went down and it happened to Maggie Nichols. And she reported it immediately. And she said to Ali Raisin, she was like, Larry Nassar just and Ali was like, yeah, me too. And so Maggie reported it. She did everything right. She reported it. And Steve Penny, who was the head of USA Gymnastics, was working with her family, with FBI involved. We're all over it.
Starting point is 00:30:23 For a year, nothing happened, and Larry Nassar went on assaulting more and more girls, like dozens of girls in the year since he was already reported. Then, thanks to the Indiana Star, a local newspaper, that's not those documentaries, it's always a local newspaper and just some good reporters just who stumble into it,
Starting point is 00:30:40 and once they heard one story, there was another and another and another, and they got so, but if it wasn't for Maggie Nichols in the beginning, they wouldn't have been able to tie all these stories together. But the real crime here is fucking Steve Penny, who has daughters. He is the head of USA Gymnastics. He allowed for all of this to happen. There were so many like alleged issues of misconduct that were just swept under the rug. So many people just ignoring it where it's like these girls are bringing pride to our country like they're
Starting point is 00:31:08 working so fucking hard to bring home medals for our country and like you can't even protect them it was just so disappointing how many victims there were like there was a hearing and you know the the judge who was fabulous yeah at the the trial of larry nassar i want to say her name was uh judge aqua l Lena that sounds familiar from when we reported it she allowed all the victims who wanted to to show up and make witness testimonies to plead to the judge like why he should get the full sentence and say something to Larry Nassar if she wanted and they just had so much footage and they interviewed for the documentary like the lead investigator in the ADA and there were two women and they were like literally just talking
Starting point is 00:31:44 about the witness testimonies and they were like both crying and it was like so powerful and it was just such a well-done documentary and just like such an upsetting story because what you find out at the end which is classic documentary the FBI like quote-unquote investigated it and now the FBI is being investigated for how they handled the investigation but it's like once again the FBI what you take from every documentary on Netflix, whether it's Trials of Gabriel Fernandez, Jeffrey Epstein, Waco, Athlete A, like the FBI knows about everything
Starting point is 00:32:14 and does nothing about it. And it's so disappointing. And there's no accountability because they're the FBI. But that's what I learned from Athlete A. Justice for fucking Maggie Nichols, who didn't give up on her dreams of gymnastics, even though it was literally just torturous for her. Now she's at Oklahoma University
Starting point is 00:32:27 and she's a back-to-back NCAA champion. She's like, it's like so fun. They had so much gymnastics footage in the documentary, which I loved. And they had footage of her. She won in 2017 and defended her title in 2018. And like,
Starting point is 00:32:39 she was just like doing the gymnastics. But like this girl went to the Olympics. Like honestly, it looked so easy for her when she was on the floor at the NCAA tournament. It was just kind of funny um but she is the real hero like justice for her yeah wow okay i'm gonna watch it that sounds even i just spoiled it yeah but no but it's still an important story and larry nassar got the full sentence back to back 60 year sentences by you ugly like you know he's like people who just their face like
Starting point is 00:33:05 you just cringe and you know what was so fucked up about the whole thing is that like all the girls were just like when they were in training they were just like abused so badly and they like wouldn't let them eat and they would call them fat and Larry Nassar used to like sneak them snacks and like leave them under their pillows so like they all really trusted him before and like that's why so many girls I mean it was literally hundreds of girls and it took them a while to speak up because they like literally didn't even know what was happening to them because to them like larry was their friend like he really protected them and like when they were injured and the coaches were just like berating them like he was the one helping them and saving them and giving them snacks and it
Starting point is 00:33:40 was just like so fucked up yeah it was It was a really good documentary. Jeez. Okay. Fuck Larry Nassar and Steve Penny and all the people who knew about the abuse. There was just the sheer amount of people who knew about it. They had like this whole timeline. Like that's what's so disturbing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Like and women too. They knew and did nothing. That's so disturbing. Yeah. Justice for Maggie Nichols. Really great documentary on Netflix. Highly recommend it. And is that it?
