Good morning, Millennials. Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Friday, Friday. Gotta get down on Friday. And happy birthday, birthday. Gotta get down on my birthday. I just feel so old and so depressed and this is gonna be the worst birthday yet and I'm okay with that I just I was having this conversation last night at least you have a good attitude about it yeah you know life is all about having a good attitude I'm just like I have no plans for the future I have no plans for my 26th year I'm just I am now at the point in my life where if somebody asks me how old I am I will take that as an insult like and I will no longer be saying my age and if I'm forced

to I will say 23 okay do what you have to do I understand now like women who get offended like how old are you no that's literally me yeah well I mean hopefully things will turn around soon and you'll have plans for your 26th year yeah all your big dreams and your big goals yeah no for sure all the fabulosity will be in store for you we We'll see. I hope that you have a happy birthday. Thank you. I don't know how we can turn the frown upside down today, but we're going to try. Well, I apologize for being so pessimistic. I'm incredibly hungover from, you know, I had a few.

Well, that's good news. Yes, it's a little good news. I had like a small, you know, a few drinks, a couple shots shots you know um with some friends last night which was nice like I was gonna ring in my birthday like sad and in my bed watching the crown I started the crown you guys that's a very sad show to watch while ringing into your birthday so Ben was like do you want to like have a drink and I was like sure and then the night just kind of took itself from there um and it was fun I'm glad that I'm hungover but like I'm just I'm miserable right now like I'm so nauseous and I'm so old and like

the combo was really hitting me well you look quite fabulous today in your windbreaker I was like coming down the hall I was like is that wind breaking broken right and it was you and thank you for your service but also you really do look great and you should feel great. And you know, since you're hungover, I guess I'll have to be like extra funny, perky and exciting today. But you know what? That is my birthday gift to you along with the gift that I got you,

which I think you'll really like. I'm excited for gifts. And you know what? I'm really excited for cake. And to be honest, if I know you and like you didn't send some sort of sweet treat to my house today, like consider yourself disowned.

Consider yourself unknown. Yeah, like I I really like look forward to like the bake by Melissa's that I'm assuming are going to be waiting for me when I get home but like if I get home and there's no cupcakes like I just want to say like I will be upset you guys I I mean I believe in in the people around you to do those things for you but like now if anyone watching is someone who's close enough to know Claudia can you please send some shit and I'll give you my credit card number you know I'll Venmo you please send it also like if I work with you, flowers are nice,

but cupcakes are appreciated. I can't stress that enough. I feel like I should have said that earlier. It's not too late. Maybe last week so that people could have prepared to send me. She won't be home for an hour at least. So if you know her well enough to know her address, please send something. I'll Venmo you. We got you covered. We got you covered. The only thing that can make me, you know, happy on this terrible birthday is sweets. Sweets can cheer up any day. And Olivia, when we went over to Olivia's house, she had so many sweets. She had so many sweets. So if I don't get just as many or more than Olivia, like I'm going to cry. Okay. We will get on the sweets train for you okay um I'm actually gonna be home in maybe a little bit more than an hour because I'm thinking of after this treating

myself to a pedicure well speaking of I'm so glad you brought that up because I treated myself yesterday to a pedicure it was really the one skill I was unable to master in quarantine and let me just tell you it was phenomenal tip though I didn't know you have to make an appointment before you go oh no so I showed up and they were like you have to make an appointment so I like made an appointment for 30 minutes later yeah so I just came back worth it um it was so fabulous I didn't get a manicure because I do find manicures to be a little stressful and I've been enjoying that doing them on my own also because all of my nails are broken and I don't want to show up until they're back to their healthy state so they could be like wow your nails are proud yeah right now

I'm not proud of them no I'm like I really need a manicure but to me that is something that is like so so much in exchange of germs you sit so close to no I mean where the artist where I went it was so it was so well done I think every place is like that they take your temperature they make you sign in say if you've been near anyone who's been exposed to COVID each pedicure seat has a plastic partition in between and the manicure table has a plastic partition in between the manicurist and the manicuree and you just show them your hands and they have hand sanitizer everywhere it's it i really felt quite safe i brought my book i was very relaxed it was very nice okay that would be a fun thing for you to do today.

Yeah, because I am going to get like an extra 10 minute foot massage. Like I have been dying for a massage in quarantine. Like that has been the one thing that like I just can't live without. And I don't even get massages that often, but I just some, I guess some tents or something. Yeah. And I'm going to get like a little foot rub and that's what I'm really excited about. That will be like the creme on top of my creme pie. The cherry on top? Yeah that's what I was gonna say. Thank you. No worries. Um before we get into everything how are you feeling about The Crown? Should we wait for TV recap segment? Um no because I'm like barely I've really not made enough progress. I think I'm on like episode seven of the first season and here are my thoughts. My thoughts are I'm really not like into history nor do I have like

an extensive knowledge of let alone American but British history like I'm just not that smart you know so I do find myself lost many times but do you find yourself interested and curious yes of course like the glamour honestly I don't really care about like the parliament and like the prime minister stuff but i do like live for like the royalty and the gossip of course and the brother who had to abdicate the throne like that little shit like i like the drama um and it's actually really smart like like they need a tv show like a drama about a tv show like what's more dramatic than the royal family like it's funny how it's like a show, but like it's real, you know? Um,

and I like it. It's fine. Like, um, Prince Philip is a pussy and I can't stand him and he does not support women. Like you could get that vibe from him immediately. A hundred percent. But you know,

like he comes around, but the first two seasons are really rough for him. The first season is really slow in general. So if you're able to stick with it, you'll only like it more and more. I don't dislike it. It starts to move even faster and every episode is really like a cultural moment that you probably know about. Not all of them but then the ones that I didn't know about like the

landslide um the you'll see um was just like devastating and an interesting piece of history so I quite found it all quite interesting. Yeah it it's good. I mean, literally the girl, Claire Foy, looks just like Queen Elizabeth did when she was a child. I'm like, you know what I find so interesting? I get like, I have a weird sense of time. So it's like, this is the 50s. And to me, like the 50s is forever ago. But like, it's really not.

And like, they were able to televise her coronation and like they get paparazzi everywhere they go. But it's like, I literally thought paparazzis were like a 20 year old thing. Yeah, well, itation, and they get paparazzi'd everywhere they go. But I literally thought paparazzis were a 20-year-old thing. Yeah, well, it's a different sort of paparazzi, but it's the modern age. Yeah. And she really ushered us into the modern era. She did.

And for that, she's a queen. We have no choice but to stan. Queenie vibes. She's so little. Even in the show, her little vibe is really perfectly portrayed. But she's such a great queen and you'll continue to see that yeah and then you'll understand why some of us royalists were just so upset by what harry and megan did i understand one thing it's like i was really sad when her dad

died but like i couldn't deal with the coughing anymore like it was bothering me it was so gross like and having to watch him like cough up blood and like put those dirty napkins like in his bedside box like it was so nasty so even though I was sad to see him go I was not sad for like the coughing to stop I don't recall there being so oh my god there was so much coughing and like literally it was the kind of cough where like you literally think the person's gonna die like have you ever seen the king's speech no oh I thought maybe that you had. But The King's Speech is about her dad. Oh, Colin Firth is her dad. Yes. And it's about his transition into power when his brother abdicated.

Got it, got it, got it, got it. So if you ever, like, really get into it, that would be a good thing to watch next. Got it, okay. Like, I can only think of people as how they're related to Queen Elizabeth. Like, all the other, other like I can't the familial relations and like the family tree and the ancestry is too complicated I'm like who are you to Elizabeth yeah I mean that's how it works though like who are you to Elizabeth and the further you get like the less relevant you are yeah and also like it's no wonder why like nobody

likes Charles you know because like he was really raised by Philip, who was also like a man who didn't support women. Um, you'll see. It's it's interesting. Charles is upbringing. And has he been born yet? Yeah. Is he in school? I'm sure he is, but I haven't seen him at school.

His school. But I assume he is the best education in all of London. His school becomes a big topic for discussion. And you're going to see a different side to Charles. OK. And at first, at first he's sweet, and then he's sour. Okay, well, actually, I do

like it, and that's what I'll be doing today, if you wanna feel bad for me. Yes, cupcakes. Honestly, now that we're going back down Memorally Lane, it sounds like a great day. Yeah. No, it's not so bad. And Theo's there, and he's just looking so cute. Theo is here. He's here. And Theo's there and he's just looking so cute. Theo is here. He's here.

And he's asleep. He decided to fall asleep off camera, which is so fucking rude. Which is so rude. But I guess he just kind of wanted to be out of the limelight today. He's like, let's focus on mom. It's her day. By the way, that's actually very sweet of him. Yeah.

No, he knows like obviously everyone's going to stare at him when he's in frame. Yeah, it's so true. But he was like, mom put on her fancy windbreaker. She did. Everyone look at her. It's a big day for mom okay is that all she wrote before she started writing the next paragraph no by the way it's not at all all she wrote because we literally have a whole show to do before she started writing the next paragraph which i guess she's pressing enter she's pressing enter tab because now it's time for the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up

Very, very sad.

An update on Naya Rivera. Police say they, quote, don't know if they will find her body. It's a complicated search. As the search for Naya Rivera continues, police say they don't know if the actress's body will be recovered. During a press conference on Thursday addressing Rivera's disappearance, Ventura County Sheriff's Office Sergeant Kevin Donahue said quote if the body is entangled in something underneath the water it may never come up. We don't know he added. Due to the conditions of Lake Piru Donahue said the search for Rivera is complicated. He explained that at this time the visibility of the lake is not very good it's terrible. Quote there's a lot of trees and plants and such that are under the water that can cause entanglement,

makes it unsafe for divers and a complicated search, he said. Ahead of the press conference, police told People magazine that they are confident that Rivera is still in the water, because at this time there's no evidence that she made it to shore. Holy shit. I mean, I literally, I feel like this story

is just like shaking the world because everyone's, whether you're like a mom or you're just like, you're sympathetic. It's just such a freak accident. Um, and it's just so sad. I mean, I'm such a glee fan and it's just devastating.

Yeah. It's really sad. So she has been presumed dead. Yes. It's, it's a recovery mission, not a rescue mission. Yes. So we can still pray, not a rescue mission. Yes.

So. Very sad. We can still pray and hope for a miracle. Yeah. But this is just extremely sad. I feel like it happened so fast. Like all the information like came out so fast too. Well, I think it's because it happened like in the late, in the very early morning.

So it was all day yesterday. And. Crazy. They're was all day yesterday and crazy. Just keeping us updated. But her son has been reunited with his father, which is great. I'm just that kid. Oh my God. Just can you imagine like what he saw?

No, I can't. I can't really, really sad. And I just, I'm so, I'm so sad. I'm so sad. I'm so sad.

We're still thinking and praying for her family at this time. And praying for a miracle. A miracle. That's what we need. Next story is some happy news. Okay. Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Justin Mikita welcome their first child together. Welcome to the modern family, baby Beckett.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson and lawyer hubby. That's a cute name. Yeah. Justin Mikita welcomed their first child together. The actor's rep confirmed to Page Six on Thursday. Quote, Jesse and Justin welcome their lindle bundle of joy, Beckett, Mercer, Ferguson, Makita, on July 7th, 2020. Ooh, Olivia has a new birthday buddy. Beckett, Mercer, Ferguson, Makita.

Okay. The new parents are overjoyed and excited for this new journey as a family of three. Beautiful. Beautiful. Happy for them. Even though they're a little thirsty on Instagram, but like I'll allow it because it's cute. And like who isn't these days? So true.

You know, and I feel like. Who am I to judge? Now that obviously a lot of industries are on pause, everyone's taking to Instagram to thirst out and welcome. To thirst out and honestly just to like occupy their time. Of course.ett is a very cute name though it is a cute name i've been like very in tune with celebrity names now i feel like for the last year just like thinking because now like you know there's babies happening and so i'm like what are good names you know what are you thinking um you don't want to share shayla? Oh, no, I will not share. Shayla.

I will not share. Shayla walked so we could run. Yeah. She taught us a lesson. That was an important lesson from Sex and the City. I mean, I feel like I could have figured that out, but it was good that everyone learned it. Agreed.

You know? Okay, next story. Something that we've been talking about, and I don't know if this was already news, but it's the first time I'm hearing about it. Victims are sharing horror stories in the first look at Surviving Jeffrey Epstein show. A trailer for Lifetime's two-night special Surviving Jeffrey Epstein

has been exclusively shared with The Post. Much like the network special Surviving R. Kelly, the documentary will feature several in-depth interviews with women who claim to have been trafficked by Epstein. The four-hour special will air Sunday, August 9th at 8 p.m. and Monday, August 10th at 9 p.m., exactly one year after the pedophile was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell. Thank you for not saying that he killed himself.

Right. Quote, being abused by Jeffrey Epstein is a life sentence, one woman says in the video clip. He was enjoying violating me. I'm going to fight back, says another. So this is what we were just saying. A came out on Netflix and we were hopeful that another one would come out because you felt as though justice was not served I felt like we were robbed in a lot of ways as it pertained to the real connections Jeffrey Epstein made in Hollywood

in politics in business in global affairs so obviously this sounds good but this is also not really what I was missing but who knows what they'll do Lifetime does a good job honestly normally I roll my eyes at Lifetime because like everything they do like that weird Harry and Meghan movie like is so tacky but they did a phenomenal job with R. Kelly and I think that I trust them to to do justice for these girls I agree I think um this will be a very powerful documentary. I look forward to watching it. And Lifetime. I'm here for Lifetime.

Yeah. No. It's good stuff. And oh. I'm part of the Lifetime movie club. It's so fabulous. Is it? The dramas.

Ooh. It's chilling stuff. I mean. Lifetime. When I was a kid. Lifetime was like. These like. Overdramatized.

Like. Murder thrillers. Spoiler alert. Still is. Really? I thought now. It's like Hallmark vibes. So okay they kind of get their dip their toe in a lot of different fields and I think their bread and butter is always those like lifetime murder mysteries you know woman gone girl situation like you know watered down gone girl. So they that they've been doing that for a while during the Christmas season they do try to come for Hallmark's crown and you know what I am just appreciative of more Christmas movies so I'm not going to say anything and then no actually I know I've spoken about it many times

on the show but was it on Lifetime I saw a Lifetime Christmas movie starring Mayim Bialik that literally ruined my life yeah no it clearly it clearly caused some devastation for you because I don't know if you're able to go like a month without talking about it. I'm not. I'm literally so triggered by it. I'm not. I'm not able to go a month. Thank you Lifetime for ruining Christmas movies for her.

Yeah. And then also they do this serious work like the one that they did with Surviving R. Kelly. And so I. No, then they also have the other layer of weird celebrity biopics where like they did the Britney it's so strange they did Adam Nicole Smith I caught that one um that's like the Megan and Harry thing yeah that it's like community theater it's so bad yeah it's definitely community theater vibes yeah it's so strange no it's such a weird and like they're widely reported like casting has been set for and like nobody cares no it's like you're always hearing about it

yeah that's really true they need to pick a lane or two lanes you know because Hallmark does have um movies and mysteries as well and they have tv shows yeah no they so they do two different things because they do their like classic love story but then they also do a little spooky stuff on the movies and mysteries channel yeah well now they have a separate channel for it yeah i mean because it was big business big business um so anyways august 9th and 10th surviving jeffrey epstein will be on lifetime check it out i'm always i'm always happy to support something that furthers the Jeffrey Epstein narrative. Like, I just don't want it to ever be forgotten. I completely agree.

Next story, very sad. Robert De Niro says coronavirus has decimated his finances. Robert De Niro says he's running out of dinero. The coronavirus dealt with. That's funny. That is funny. The Post, oh, this page six is funny. Wow, that page six is funny. No, the Post is funny. The coronavirus dealt a massive blow to the actor's finances, he revealed in court, as his estranged wife asked for an emergency order to raise her monthly American Express

card credit limit from $50,000 to $100,000. The Irishman actor appeared on a Skype call in his Manhattan divorce case with Grace Hightower as her lawyer told a judge that De Niro unfairly cut her monthly Amex allowance from $100,000 to $50,000 and said she and their children had been banned from an upstate compound where De Niro was staying during the pandemic. But lawyers for De Niro said he cut Hightower's credit card limit because he's taken a huge financial hit as the restaurant chain Nobu and Greenwich Hotel, both of which he has stakes in, have been closed or partially closed for months with barely any business. Wait, I didn't know he owned a piece of Nobu. Yeah, no, this is really interesting. De Niro's lawyer told the judge that Nobu lost $3 million in April and

another $1.87 million in May. And he had to pay investors $500,000 on a capital call, which he borrowed money from his business partners to make because he doesn't have the cash, his lawyer said. I'm sorry, Robert De Niro doesn't have $500,000. He's doing something wrong. Well, I mean, keep listening because it is interesting. No, but even though in a divorce proceeding, he's obviously trying to make it look like he has way less money than he does because he doesn't want to fork it over. Yes but this is an old divorce like he had to cut his um checks to his ex-wife and now the ex-wife is like why you cut it and it's because he's not making the money that he used to make he shouldn't necessarily be paying what he used to pay okay but like he definitely has like a nice sum of money from all the movies over the years you

don't think his lawyer also explained that under the terms of their 2004 prenuptial agreement robert de niro is only required to pay high tower one million dollars a year as long as he's making 15 million dollars or more in income and if his income declines his payments to her proportionally do so too his accounts and business managers say that the best case for mr de niro is if everything starts to turn around this year he's going to be lucky if he makes 7.5 million this year which is less but it's less than the 15 million that she's used to we're totally gonna make seven and a half million dollars this is such a dumb story like i'm sorry i don't feel bad for you robert de niro like like if you're gonna to be in this,

Robert De Niro is one of the most successful actors of all time, has been in some of the highest grossing movies of all time, and, like, he can't figure out how to pay child support? Please. His lawyer said that these people, in spite of his robust earnings, have always spent more than he has earned. So the 76-year-old robust man couldn't retire even if he wanted to because he can't afford to keep up with his lifestyle expenses. Oh, the poor old rich man couldn't retire even if he wanted to because he can't afford to keep up with his lifestyle expenses oh the poor old rich man can't retire why am i not sad like at all sorry

we're in an economic crisis and this is so out of touch like i can't even begin to scratch a surface on what's wrong with this story like sorry i i literally like Here's the thing. This is me not feeling bad for Robert De Niro. No sympathy for Mr. De Niro from you. No. To the man who's making $7.5 million this year, no. There is none. None for me. You can search elsewhere.

Check out another morning show. Look for a little sympathy from them. Because it ain't gonna be me. Okay. I think that's fair. Yeah really robert now like read the room robert okay well like we're in a national economic crisis proceedings millions of people unemployed to his instagram and was like feel sorry for him like this is just what we know i know from the courts you know and obviously he's having a rough go of it right now i just i hope to be in in a place in my life when i'm 97 or however old he is um i 76 i really hope to be in a place where

like on a bad year i make seven and a half million dollars that's truly all one can hope for um there was also an interesting factoid in the article that he already got paid for the irishman um and likely to be just get paid 2.5 million dollars from that in 2020 and 2021. That's kind of low. Yeah that is kind of low. I thought so too. Yeah maybe like I feel like certain movies you do as like prestige not for the money whereas like he did the intern for the money you know. Yeah. Even though it was a fabulous movie. One of his best. One of his best. I couldn't agree more. Okay fifth and final story. Shannon Bedore's ex-husband, David Bedore, is expecting a baby with his fiance.

And we need a wellness check on Shannon. Yeah, we do. The ex-husband of Real Housewives of Orange County star, Shannon Bedore, is expecting a child with his fiance, Leslie Cook. Cook revealed the news on her private Instagram story with footage of a bun in the oven and Ed Sheeran's small bump playing in the background. She also posted a TikTok video.

That's not what that song is about, small bump. I just want to let you know. She also posted a TikTok video. That's not what that song is about, Small Bump. I just want to let you know. She also posted a TikTok video telling her daughter the news. Wow, she sounds quite young. She said she's going to be a big sister. Can you believe it? Are you excited? Are you excited?

Show me how excited you are. I can't believe I missed that TikTok. It sounds amazing. Whatever, happy for them. I just think Shannon's going to be really unwell from this and I really need her because it's one thing for like your ex-husband and the father of your children to move on with another woman but it really changes the game when that person has a child and yeah eek yeah eek eek also David Bedore is hot yeah but he's so mean no like his his insides aren't hot but his outside's

hot yeah but so at a certain point the insides aren't hot, but his outside's hot. Yeah, but at a certain point, the insides start to affect the outsides. Of course, in both, no, in a good and a bad way. Like if you have a fabulous inside, like it really makes you hot. A hundred percent. A hundred percent. Also, did you see Francesca Farago from Too Hot to Handle? I don't know why I just thought of this.

She flew to Dallas for like some work stuff and she was having lunch or dinner with Damien like a bunch of people but Damien from Love is Blind was there like the two Netflix shows. Oh interesting but is he still with Giannina? She might have been there but I couldn't say I I don't know they Giannina and Damien and just like a lot of those people from Love is Blind became so famous and so relevant just like in the blink of an eye. Yeah. Now that Francesca's single, I've been like wondering what her next move is going to be. Diplo comments on her Instagram. She comments on his. I think that there could be something brewing there.

And I'm sure she's just been like sitting while she was in a relationship. And I think she was really committed to her relationship and never really like looked elsewhere. But I'm sure she like had the thought like, oh, wow, I'm a big star now. Who could I date? Right. Five million followers. Diplo's commenting on my Instagram she like the most beautiful woman in the world no now she's also hanging out with Tana Mongeau in LA like she's really she's getting

places and I'm like loving it also they made like such a cute TikTok they've been hanging out Tana Mongeau and Francesca and they made out in one and I kind of ship them now so we'll see cute yeah um that's funny that you said the Diplo thing too but now makes me feel like there's definitely a ship like being built in the harbor. Because it's every photo. It's not just one that he comments. Like consistently he's commenting on every single one of her photos. Wow. Okay.

That's a couple to me, honestly. That's a people who are DMing and have something funny going on. And like. The comments are like, you know, nods back to inside jokes that they made via DM. Yeah. No. I really ship it. I guess they're engaged.

Wow. Do you think we'll be invited to the wedding? No. Okay. TV recap segment. We're going to talk about Real Housewives of New York, which was back again after,

oh no, it was back last week, but we didn't recap last week. So we'll just talk about the whole thing in general. I mean, let's talk about the Halloween party first

because that was last week. Yeah. What happened to the Halloween party? Sonia showed up so drunk. Dorinda made that awful toast. And Dorinda did something amazing she actually managed to make me feel bad for ramona singer which has literally

never happened in my life i felt so bad for her it was so uncomfortable i don't know how these women continue to forgive each other how sonia ramona and dorinda are like the best of friends yet they hurt each other in the most egregious egregious ways every week that fucking behavior from sonia morgan i hadn't seen ever like it was insane i never saw someone so drunk in my life yeah no it was wild she was being funny leah looked amazing at least oh i mean she always looks amazing but yeah she looked in stellar in stellar at least when sonia um gets drunk and like is at her at her most drunk like she's still so sweet and funny and love harmless harmless other people venom that fucking speech to be so triggered by ramona being like are you drunk like

was someone saying and honestly i don't agree with dorinda at all of course ramona's problematic in her own ways but like you're all bent out of shape because she made you because you don't because Ramona doesn't want to share her birthday party with Sonia yeah like I know it's trivial because like they're 60 year old women fighting about birthday parties but like Ramona's planning a party for her birthday like why does it have to include Sonia also when I re-watch the scene and Ramona says are you drunk it's right when Dorina's like really up in her face and I'm sure Ramona just smelled alcohol and was like oh are you drunk that's why you're talking to me. I'm sorry like someone thinking Dorinda's drunk at a party is not the craziest thing ever she always is. Also it's like Halloween it's a big soiree why wouldn't you be drunk? Yeah. You know I just and

also Dorinda is two different people when she's drunk or when she's sober so asking that question like really does change the tone of the conversation do I need to take this seriously or not right we got a Jill Zarin cameo which was nice we did I like her yeah I like her too it's always nice to see I don't know if I want like her to make a return like I wouldn't be opposed to it but I just I like seeing her yeah it's a nod back to like when simple things were simpler I don't think it makes sense right now because I do think we need to head in the direction of like more Leah's yes then and and less uh Dorinda and Ramona what were your thoughts Ramona what were your thoughts on the uh zoom confessionals okay so you had really got me um hyped up about it that they were terrible I thought Leah's was nearly perfect in terms of um the echo of her

audio working with just confessional. What about the background? Oh, I didn't care about the background. I really cared about the audio. Because it just went. I felt like I was watching a YouTube video. When you're watching all these different clips put together in a vlog. And the audio was different every time. And then someone puts music over it. And I'm like, I have to keep changing my volume.

Luann's audio was atrocious. Like worse than anything I've ever heard. I thought that Ramona and Sonia's was pretty good and I also liked the fact that they were able to give good interviews despite the fact that it's not as like glamorous as it once was Sonia looked amazing Sonia looked amazing um so it didn't totally I got I got kind of used to it but every time Luann's came on because sometimes the confessionals play in the background while we're watching the scene and it's and it's like you almost don't know what you're listening to and so some of the women had really good confessionals and I mean Luann's

really brought down the group average Elise has a confessional what is going on with her I don't know why she's sitting in her foyer like in front of her front door it's the weirdest thing she's not a housewife I think she had a similar experience journey barbara k where it's like we think you're interesting let's give you a camera we gave you a camera there's nothing interesting about you even though she is really involved in the drama she's just so lame like every time she does something I just cringe and want to die like even her fighting with Ramona it was just so kind of like she was acting and then she said let me sit on your lap. No and it's like she's fighting with Ramona and it seems like Elise is really in the right she's probably a very good

friend to Ramona this her telling about Ramona like taking off her cover up in front of her husband's back like I can't even tell you how much that grinds my gears like I I just do not fuck with people like that with people like that at all so she's totally in the right but when they're fighting in the Berkshires I'm like leave Ramona alone no totally because to me it's just like Elise might be upset about what's going on but she's just really like gnawing for a storyline. And it's too obvious for me. No, but even if you are in the right, like if you can't drive your point home

and make your argument like succinctly and correctly, you've lost me. I only have so much time for like this nonsense. Pitter patter. I agree. I think that Dorinda's house looks amazing. Stunning. I mean, maybe it's because I I have

quarantine eyes also in addition to all of the revamps that she did but you know what when we saw the first scene of her there and then like three minutes later she says she talks about how she got Richard's stuff out and the energy feels lighter I was like I could feel the energy from my tv like yeah it's so much lighter and brighter it It's so beautiful there. She did such a beautiful job with it. The bedrooms are beautiful. I'm really happy for her that she got it all in check and that she's feeling lighter about everything because it was obviously weighing her down and that affected her relationships with everyone and everything. And so I was very happy to see all of that come to fruition.

And you know what else was interesting about last night's episode? For the first time in a while, I think Luann was drunk. Yes. Because she was being insane at the end. Okay, but also she must be, I haven't been watching whether or not she's drinking when the women were having rosé with those amazing balls of ice.

Yes. We need to get some of those. I wasn't sure, I didn't look to see if she was drinking, but then when she talks to Sonia, like she's a drunk person. And when she was talking to Ramona at the end. Oh, and she's just like looking,

like it just, no. So I wonder if she's drinking with the women or, like. Secretly. Secretly. I feel like she's drinking with the women. Okay. That was really sad to watch. Yeah, because so much of me wants to believe

and really did think that, like, she really didn't have a problem with alcohol. It was just, like, she got herself in a bad situation oh no not even that because I feel like maybe she's just drunk there in the Berkshires like it's safe in the same way that Doreen gets up and starts talking and like is speaking nonsense so everyone's drunk so like she's allowed to be drunk but like what she was saying to Sonia who is so sweet and so supportive and like really only ever been a good friend to her it doesn't have a mean bone in her body was so rude and also at the end of the day she should be paying Sonia of course and Sonia gets a higher like unfortunately this is the world that we live in where yes she's not trained on Broadway if you're a reality tv star and you're showing up to perform

somewhere like you are going to be paid more than someone who's a Broadway trained actor or comedian or dancer. It's the industry. It's true. It's the industry. And it's, I think that Luann in a lot of ways thinks she's doing Sonia a favor by letting her come on the show. And I could see how she would think that. Luann really has built something really impressive.

Her show was very successful. It got picked up by Live Nation. But to just disregard Sonia and like not even acknowledge the fact that like she's actually doing you a favor too. It was disappointing. Yeah. And it was, it was very disappointing.

The women were shocked to hear. And I think that's kind of, we even had this discussion when they were rehearsing together. I was like, is she paying her? I hope she's paying her. And then it came, you said that she was paying her $250,

which doesn't even cover hair and makeup. I'm sure amongst the women, they had these questions like, what is she paying her? Should be $5,000, should be $10,000. When she was like $250 and Ramona's like, you mean $2,250? And she's like, no, $250. Like, I think it was very interesting for the women to hear that because she is being taken advantage of.

And the fact that she even needs to ask her to be paid more, like just then you should pay her more. I agree. She's being taken advantage of. Well said. Yeah. And so that was sad to watch, especially like watching Luann dig in,

like call everyone these mean names. But that is probably because she's drunk. Hopefully next week she'll wake up and she'll feel differently about it. Yeah. I just like honestly really enjoyed watching them in the Berkshires. It just looked like such a fun cozy weekend. Like I really wanted to be there. Yeah.

Farm Chemin vibes like watching it in quarantine makes it all the more sweet. So sad. And jealous. But the house really it did look stellar. And what else? Was that pretty much it? Yeah. It was a boring episode otherwise.

But I didn't watch anything else last night because I was drunk. Oh, I'm almost done with my book. It's called The Second Home, and it's really good. So if you're looking for a nice read, I'd recommend it. I'm always looking for a nice read.
