Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Monday. We hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and is feeling refreshed, maybe hungover. That's okay. Welcome back to the Morning Toast. I'm so excited. Hi, Jax. Hi. How are you doing? I'm great. I'm so great because I'm with Theo. Of course. And I didn't want to just like jump into something so negative so early on in the show. I literally knew what you were going to do. And I think it has to be done because something so devastating happened this weekend. You and I were hanging out on Saturday. We had a fabulous day. We were having such a fabulous day.

And luckily for me, you had made some plans that evening and you asked if I could take Theodora. And I was overjoyed. You know, he came over. You told me he was going to sleep by me. And we started watching Yellowstone together. I took him out for a late night walk. I watched his pause. We got into bed. I moved the love sack from my living room to my bed. And if you have a movie size love sack,

you know, that's a big thing to do. It's huge. It's huge. And we're in bed. It's 1230. And my sister texts me and she says, Hey, are you up? And it's like, I knew what you were texting me for, but I'm not going to ignore your text because you're my sister like you know I'm gonna be there for you of course yes I was up uh she calls me and says that her and Ben are coming to take Theo like we were literally in bed together perched watching Yellowstone cleaned happy boys and girls and it was all just it was ripped away from me I just feel like I'm not gonna lie like it was so hurtful I think you are intentionally leaving out an integral part of the story. Yeah.

To fit your own narrative. It was part of the story when you asked me to watch him and have him sleep over. Yes. When I asked you to watch him, it was never fully clear whether or not he was sleeping over. Like we were going to figure it out. And I would have let you keep him literally for the whole weekend, but you don't have any of his food at your house.

I know. So he wasn't going to eat breakfast because and like only because you wanted him. Like that's just so selfish. No, he had just had dinner when he came over so we would have woken up and I would have taken him home he would have done a little intermittent fast like a mini no I didn't fast I didn't think it was good for him and and he had a carrot and I got home earlier than expected like if it was four in the morning I would have just left him there but I got home at a reasonable hour at 1 a.m I I'm a reasonable mom. Like, sorry. I'm sorry that that happened to you.

Obviously. It's okay. I mean, I understand. Like, I understand. Here's the thing. I understand. It just, it just hurt. Are you like Snatchler? Will you learn your lesson and buy some food for your house?

Oh, for sure. For sure. Except like when you don't have a dog and you just have dog food, like the food does smell, but. No, it's called like a Ziploc. Just like you'll zip it up. No, no. I can like, I know I don't

have food for the end of my house because I don't smell it well you obviously don't care enough that's what I'm saying no I will have food next time I will learn my lesson I just you know when you give him a bath and he got so riled up like and he like runs around and like scrapes his head on the ground like barking in my apartment at midnight and we got past that stage you know calmed him down he was liking Yellowstone too because of all the horses and the animals which by the way I'm like knee balls deep in Yellowstone and it's so fucking good and I need for you to watch it we'll recap it we have so much to recap in our TV segment I watched so much TV this weekend so did you we have our twist movie of

the week recap so that'll obviously as always be at the end of the show. But yes, we have a heavy, a fat recap section today. Very, very fat. We also have the Fast Five, obviously. Lots of things did happen over the weekend. You know, stones were unturned. Yes, stones were turning. They were turning stones. And so it's going to be a great show.

I just had to get that off my chest. But other than that, I had a really nice, relaxing weekend where I feel like I consumed a lot of content and participated, you know, in the content consummation of our nation. I, too, consumed a lot of content and participated you know in the content consummation of our nation I too consumed a lot of content but I also made a fabulous piece of content last night you were a content creator and the reviews are in and they're pretty spectacular um you know Olivia our sister is a new mom and she's been really offline and she talks a lot about why she made that decision um her podcast maternity Live has been on pause and she spoke a lot about she's like struggling with whether or not she should

come back because you know once you have a kid like your priorities are so different not only like time management wise but like you just want to protect your child and she got you know a really unnecessary amount of hate towards the end of her pregnancy and I think that kind of like scarred her and we talk a lot about that on the podcast episode, in addition to her birth story. And for those wondering why she didn't do it on maternity live, you'll hear why on the podcast. She's just unsure. And I think doing things on Patreon

makes everyone feel a little safer because it is behind this wall. It was really funny. I mean, we literally recorded the whole episode while she was pumping and like her nipples were straight up in my face. That's so funny. You love that. You love that.

I love that. I'm just like constantly marveled by the spectacular nature of the female form. Like it just, like what was happening in front of me was a miracle. Yeah. It was crazy. It's a miracle, but it happens every day in every way. It's no, it's just so common. It's like, yep, my boobs make milk. And it's just crazy.

To feed my baby. And it's the only thing baby can eat. No, it makes so much sense. Like, you know, evolution is fantastic. So we did her birth story. We were just talking about like new mom, all the like the funny gadgets she has. She has a special machine to pick Michaela's nose. It was really great. It's a podcast episode.

It's up on the Patreon. Patreon.com slash The Morning Toast. If you want to check it out. People are loving it. And I had so much fun doing it like any excuse to go over to olivia's house now yeah now that she's got that baby i mean always just hanging out with mick it's she's the coolest chick in the world it's life-changing it is life-changing and it's like really it's so funny leaving her department her apartment is really like an emotional roller coaster because when you're sitting on her couch just like holding mikaela like truly nothing else in the matter world matters there's no instagram drama there's really like there's no coaster. Because when you're sitting on her couch, just like holding Mikayla, like truly nothing else in the world matters.

There's no Instagram drama. There's really like, there's no pandemic. It's like, you're just looking at this fresh life. And like the second you close her door behind you, it's like back to the terrible real world. Stark contrast. It's so stark. And it's like, you really never want to leave her house.

No, I feel you. That's why she doesn't leave her house. And we spoke about that too. Oh, perfect. Well, I'm really excited to listen. I've been getting into podcasts. Well, on Friday night, I spent the majority of my night watching Joe Rogan because he too films his show and it's on YouTube. He does three hour episodes. I know everyone knows everything about Joe Rogan. How many times a week? I think he does like multiple episodes a week. Wow. That's a long time. Yeah.

And he, he's just like so great at the job. And it was a pleasure to watch him. And I just feel like I have a renewed podcasting energy. I would love to hear it. Due to watching Joe Rogan. I just, I'm feeling more emboldened than ever, you know, to do the job. We love an emboldened Steen. Yeah.

He's just so, like he is the real deal. Mecca, like of podcasting. Even though like I didn't know that much about him before watching the show. Like he was everything I thought he was even though I had limited information, you know? I feel that. So it was just really enjoyable. I know it's the number one podcast in the world. So I don't have to tell you guys to listen to it because you probably already do.

But it's crazy how long the episodes are. Because sometimes I feel like our episodes are long and people don't even have that much time. But like millions of people sit down and listen to these three-hour intellectual conversations on the daily. No, when you really think about what Joe Rogan has done, like for the medium and just like the business he's carved out for himself, like you can't think about it too long because it's so impressive.

Like just the sheer volume of people who have watched his show for so long and how many new people watch just like you, like every day just discovering it. It's really the most incredible thing. And he weirdly has like legs in a million different things. Like he does sports, right? Yeah.

Well, he started as an MMA fighter and now he does sports commentary. I was on his Wikipedia. He used to be the host of Fear Factor. Oh, I listened to an episode and he was like, when we were filming Fear Factor, I was like, what? Yeah. Interesting. Very interesting.

I thought maybe he was a contestant, but no, he was the host. Fear Factor is, well, I don't, I don't know know if it's still on but like when it was at its heyday i think it was on like mtv or something it was the craziest show i know we weirdly used to watch it it was so popular i would that's like the last reality show i would ever go on yeah i would rather go on the bachelor and like have to be in a bikini all day then lay in a bathtub of roaches yeah and then eat them disgusting Oof. Disgusting. Sickening. The things they used to make people do,

like, oof, oof, oof. Yeah, sick. I don't know what the prize was, but it wasn't enough. The presence of Joe Rogan is the prize. So yes, anything else we want to talk about? Recap from the weekend before we dive in? No, I think that's all she wrote.

I started the Redheads book last night because we're recording this week. The episode drops the first Thursday of every month, so the first Thursday of August. And it's actually really, really good. I'm not that far into it yet, but I really like the writing style. It makes me feel like it's a quote-unquote easy way to read it. And I'm really looking forward to the discussion and the episode.

So if you want to become a Redhead, you know that it's never too late. It really is. Just pick up a book and start. Never. Never too late. Never too late, Claude. Oh, me? Yeah.

I don't know how you guys read the book so fast. Like, that's what, I know you give everyone a month and, like, you read a book in a day, but, like, I literally need three months to read a book. Yeah. No, I. Well, the Jessica Simpson book was really long, but it still took me, like, more than a month. Yeah.

I don't like to be rushed and you know what it is it's like I don't want to feel like I have homework you know no I know sometimes it does start to feel like homework but then we do the homework and we're so much better off for it and I'm like oh I'm so glad you know I hadn't read a book in like a week and if it wasn't for the redheads I wouldn't be reading right now I just would have like finished watching Yellowstone and it really it forces you to get back and read these books that are also different from one another and I think it's just a great passion that I'm passionate about I have to say even though you know Facebook groups are a thing of the past the Redheads group is going strong and it's so cute

it's literally the nicest group and it's just like filled with people who want to share things that they love and recommend things to other people yeah no it really is the nicest group I don't want to jinx it but like everyone in the Redheads is a sweetie. Yeah. Don't jinx it. The jinx is fucking real. Okay. So I guess without further ado, because there has been much ado about kind of nothing, we could get into the fast five stories that you, yes, you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast. And that's true. And you know, as always, today's episode is brought to you by our Patreon. Patreon.com slash the morning toast the month of july has four episodes already there will be one more coming this week and then we start again august five fresh new videos or podcasts i think you guys will really

Yes quite fabulous. Are you ready for our first story? I'm so ready. It's a sad one because Regis Philbin has died. The iconic TV host, actor, singer, and all-around media personality who was once dubbed the hardest working man in showbiz passed away this weekend. This is according to a statement from his family. They told People, quote, his family and friends are forever grateful for the time we got to spend with him,

for his warmth, his legendary sense of humor, and his singular ability to make every day into something worth talking about. That's really beautiful. We thank his fans and admirers for their incredible support over his 60-year career. A source tells TMZ that Regis died early Saturday after suffering a heart attack at his home, possibly the one in Connecticut, although they have not confirmed that with the family. How old was he? At that point, he was 88 years old. I mean, what a life, what a legacy. When I think of Regis Philbin,

I think of his very small cameo in Miss Congeniality. I don't know why. Yeah. That's literally all I can think about. Maybe because I didn't really grow up watching live with Regis and Kelly. You know, that's so funny because when I was thinking about him this morning, I was like, I associate him with Miss Congeniality, but that's William Shatner. But no, they're both in it and they're both very similar. Same exact person. And I'm so glad to understand why I assumed Regis was in that movie. That was him.

And he asks the iconic question. If you, what is your idea of the perfect date? Oh yes, that was him. Yes, yes, yes. April 25th. Because it's not too hot and it's not too cold. All you need is a light jacket. I mean, this is, of course death is sad, but sometimes we report on death like when it's a tragedy. And to me, like Regis Philbin lived such, I mean, I didn't know him, but what a powerful, meaningful legacy he leaves behind. 88 is a long time. And I think that people in the industry were forever impacted.

I mean, when you think of Regis, what do you think? Live with Regis and Kelly. Right. And so I actually didn't see it, but I got so many DMs of people sending me Kelly's post about Regis, like really disappointed in her response because she posted a picture from like a million years ago of her, Regis and Ryan and Mickey Mouse I see it here with a statement that Ryan also posted like so it was just like I see this is a statement yeah we are beyond saddened to learn about the loss of Regis Philbin he was the ultimate class act bringing his laughter and joy into our homes

every day on live for more than 23 years we were beyond lucky to have him as a mentor in our careers and aspire every day to fill his shoes on the show. We send our deepest love and condolences to his family and hope they can find some comfort in knowing he left the world a better place. Which is obviously lovely but when it's copy and pasted on both Ryan and Kelly's Instagram I think a lot of people took that as disingenuous. Well also because Kelly worked with him for so many years whereas Ryan was never hosted the show with him like permanently. No now Ryan takes over his legacy of the hardest working man in Hollywood oh for sure which is actually perfect that Ryan filled his shoes totally uh so I agree that people might have wanted something more personal from for help from Kelly but you know what how people grieve

is just true no business of ours I mean I literally saw two Instagram posts from Snooki who was like devastated because when they used to do press for Jersey Shore I guess they went on and she had some sort of connection with him and I thought her post was literally so sweet and more genuine than Kelly who worked with him for years again you obviously don't know how people are grieving I just thought a lot of people I thought it was interesting how many people like sent it to me and thought it was just interesting yeah I guess so I just I'm I'm remiss to criticize the way that's what someone posts on social media because so many times like it's social media is nonsense it's not indicative of how anyone feels about anything and if someone doesn't want to bear their soul on their Instagram account

they don't have to that works for me I agree but Kathy Lee Gifford also posted something really sweet um it's just he was a loved man and he lived a large and long life and that's really all you can ask for in this world it's but it's still all you can ask for it's still a loss for sure yeah I mean now I'll never be able to watch that movie again without just being sad Miss Congeniality yeah an iconic cameo okay next story is some exciting EGOT news because the daytime Emmy 2020 winners they did a virtual show etc etc I just have to say they did a virtual show and one of the hosts was Tabitha Brown my favorite TikToker getting the respect that she deserves she's like the vegan yes yes yes oh my god I fucking love her and she

was just in Vanity Fair and now she's hosting the virtual Emmys and it's just a great year for Tabitha Brown yes um the second round of winners for the 47th annual daytime Emmy Awards were unveiled on Sunday night as the ceremony handed out trophies honoring children's lifestyle and animation programming. The ceremony also paid tribute to Regis Philbin, who passed away this weekend by sharing his acceptance speech for the Lifetime Achievement Award he received in 2008. Oh, wow. So the winners of the Daytime Emmys are out, which is interesting, sure. But we have a new EGOT in our midst.

Who? Alan Menken the composer he's composed everything fabulous he did Beauty and the Beast Aladdin the Little Mermaid if he did Beauty and the Beast he's obviously a world-renowned talent everything of the sort Little Shop of Horrors Newsies Hunchback of Notre Dame what did he win now oh my god he composed Enchanted which is the most underrated film of all time I don't think I've ever seen it yes you have with Amy Adams where she goes from being a cartoon all time. I don't think I've ever seen it. Yes you have with Amy Adams where she goes from being a cartoon. I know I really don't think I've ever seen it.

Claudia it's beautiful. I know. It's so good and James Marsden is in it and the music is so good. Anything James Marsden is in is fabulous. Ever ever after. That's Alan Menken y'all. Wow how interesting. So what did he win the Emmy for this round Oh Interessant Let me scroll down the list He became the 16th person To achieve an EGOT Which is Interessant We only have 16 Hopefully 17 soon

David Foster we're pulling for you Or 18 Lady Gaga She's kind of close Is she? She has the Oscar She has the Grammy She needs the Emmy She didn't win that time.

No, but she does do TV. So it's like it's not so far off. She already has her toe in the pond. Yeah, I agree. The Emmy could happen. I'm not sure what Alan Menken just won for. Whatever. Another interesting thing that I saw who won an Emmy very randomly was Allie Brooke from Fifth Harmony.

Ooh. She had co-written or written a theme song for like a children's tv show that won an emmy so he won for best original song um with along with glenn slater for rapunzel's tangled adventure fabulous so fabulous i mean i don't like i'm so familiar with his work and not the man and he just seems so deserving because he's a part of everything that's fabulous so who were egots i know um john legend is an ego whoopi goldberg that's fabulous. So who are EGOTs? I know John Legend is an EGOT. Whoopi Goldberg is an EGOT. That's literally the only one I know.

Whoopi Goldberg. And I only know that from that episode of 30 Rock where Tracy wants to become an EGOT. So he calls Whoopi Goldberg. Okay, here are the EGOTs. I feel like we probably won't know the names. Yeah, no, we're not going to know a lot of these people. Richard Rogers, who's a composer.

I believe that's Rogers and Hammerstein you know the Roger I think do not quote me on that even if it's not like I like that narrative it might as well but you know even if it's not like I'm going to pretend like it is Helen Hayes so she was an actress don't know her uh Rita Moreno don know her. John Gilgud. Don't know him. Audrey Hepburn. Wow. Fabulous. Fabulous.

Marvin Hamlick. Unclear. Jonathan Tunick. Who? A lot of these people are composers and conductors. Yes. Mel Brooks. Oh, I mean, if you think about it, like, who really can transcend four totally, entirely

different industries? And it's really the music. It's really the music. So it makes sense that like John Legend has one. Mike Nichols, Whoopi Goldberg. Love. Yeah. Oh, they mentioned this article from mentalfloss.com mentions the episode of 30 Rock.

That's the only reason I know it. She walks around with the EGOT necklace. Scott Rudin, Robert Lopez, Andrew Lloyd Webber, John Legend, and Tim Rice. I have heard of Andrew Lloyd Webber. Oh and there are some she gots. Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli, James Earl Jones. Oh oh I'm sorry these were people who are um... Close? Sorry it's worth there are a handful other other famous faces who have also earned all four awards but because at least one of them is a special or honorary award only not a competitive one, their inclusion in the club is questionable right like

a lifetime achievement emmy okay so that's barbara streisand liza manelli james earl jones alan mankin but now he's legit legit harry belafonte quincy jones and then we have almost egots are you do you want to hear those sure i'm so obsessed so obsessed with EGOT, dumb. It's fascinating. Okay, almost EGOTs. Julie Andrews. Lin-Manuel Miranda. Oh, he'll get it. Martin Scorsese. Oh, that's interesting.

He needs a Tony. Frances McDormand. Oh, she'll get it. Viola Davis. She'll get it. Randy Newman. Don't know him. Al Pacino.

I think I've heard of him. John Williams. Unclear. Cher needs a Tony. Cher, I mean, their Cher the musical just came out. Did it not win any Tonys? Oh my God, that's so true. They got to step it up.

Elton John. Oh, I thought he wasn't EGOT. For sure. He needs an Emmy. I feel like he could get one in his sleep. Like, no, literally give one of your old songs that you threw in the trash to Ryan Murphy or something. Ron Howard and Brian Grazer and Trey Parker and Matt Stone also I

think it's worth mentioning you know who I think is going to get one in their lifetime but they're pretty new on the scene Ben Platt those guys uh Pasek and Paul yes from um from Greatest Showman and from D'Arvin Hanson but can I also just um get recognized for my fabulous answer Ben Platt already has a Tony he was nominated for a couple Emm. He might have won one. He has a very long career ahead of him. And he does so much musical theater, which is the key because it's the music that you really need to get an EGOT. Yeah, but he has the Tony.

So I think he could get a Grammy. What do you think is the hardest one to get? It depends on who you are. I think for a lot of people, it's that Tony. David Foster. Yeah. You know, but for Ben Platt, it's the first one he got. Or it would probably be the

hardest for him to get an Oscar because he's transitioning from musical theater to TV and then into movies, which is the hardest jump to make. But he's so talented, I have no doubt. Yeah. It's tough. I wonder if when they're like granting the awards, if they take into consideration. I wonder if they want more EGOTs or they want to keep it like so

competitive. I'm sure they want to keep it like prestigious. Yeah, but it sounds super prestigious already. Not as prestigious. Like that is only the creme de la creme. Speaking of creme de la creme, when it comes to my eyes, I only prefer the cream. Of course. And that's why Felix Grey is better. There are a lot of blue light glasses on the market, but they are not all created equal. Many blue light glasses don't filter enough blue light, especially in the range that matters. Most screens produce blue light at a certain point in the spectrum of 455 nanometers, and most clear blue light lenses only filter about two to three percent in that range. Felix Grey uses a proprietary filtering technology to filter 15 times more blue light in the same

range. They filter out 90 percent of the blue light in most damaging range and eliminates 99 percent of glare through a proprietary industry-leading technology only available with felix gray glare is real i never realized that because i'm new to the glasses front i've gotten glasses of stigmatism for like the last maybe two three years when i watch tv and in the dark like glass glare is so real it gives me and i'm prone to migraines it gives me the worst headache when i'm looking at like a blurry screen it really doesn't even help and then i watch so much tv and scroll on tiktok before bed so much that I didn't even know blue light is like a very real thing and it can keep you up if you're

not wearing it makes your brain think that it's daytime oh so that's why blue light blocking glasses are so fabulous because then it's like what do you want glare that should be their slogan felix gray what do you want glare um felix gray frames are hand finished from durable super lightweight italian acetate if you order online the glasses ship directly to you with a hard case and a lens cloth included oh my god lens cloths are so fabulous like you think you could clean your glasses on like your dirty t-shirt you cannot i don't know what it is about the specific cloth, but it's like this proprietary fabulous technology. It's like lens cloths

over loin cloths. So true. Every day. And that's the magic of Felix Grey. Try them for 30 days risk-free. If your screens aren't

easier on the eyes, send them back for a full refund, but I'm pretty sure you won't want to do that. Go to FelixGreyGlasses.com slash toast

No, no, I just, I was trying to like, you were throwing me a ball. I know, I understand. A lob, and I was trying to dunk it, and I just totally failed.

I understand, I'm sorry. It's my fault, don't be sorry. No, but like, it was my fault, I set up the shot, and you missed. 100%. It's on both players. No, I think it's on you. Blake Lively praises Taylor Swift's folklore after Singer reveals the name of actress's baby girl. Blake Lively has nothing but wonderful words to say

about Taylor Swift's latest release. The actress shared a supportive message to the musician whose new album Folklore, which was released on Friday, included a track that confirmed the name of Lively and Ryan Reynolds' third daughter, who was born last year. In her note, Lively extended her gratitude to Swift, album producers Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff, as well as singers Bon Iver. Now that I know how to pronounce Bon Iver, like, I can't be stopped. Bon Iver, Bon Iver, Bon Iver.

But that's not how I pronounce it. Bon Iver. No, that's not how I pronounce it either. Bon Iver. Oh, fuck. I don't even know how to pronounce it right. I'm not sure. I mean, my friend Jason Abramson is Bon Iver's number one fan. Like, he was talking about Bon Iver when I was in high school. I'm like, oh, you think you're so cool? Now he has a song with Taylor Swift. I'm not sure I mean my friend Jason Abramson is Bon Iver's number one fan like he was talking about Bon Iver when I was in high school I'm like oh you think you're so cool now he has a song with Taylor Swift I'm like oh my god Bon Iver and he says Bon Iver and high school everyone was like Bon Iver so I'm gonna go with Jason on this one up until recently I think that he it's a he yeah like it's not a group no no it's a he um Coachella, and that was when I learned that it's Bon Iver. You know, I could see how, you know, a jaded American such as yourself would think it's Bon Iver, but as Phoebe Buffay once said,

you Americans always butcher the French language. Okay, so this is what Blake Liley had to say. Can we all please crawl inside that piano with you and live in this album? Like you, folklore is full of heart, soul, humor, passion, intelligence, wit, whimsy, reality, imagination, strength, vulnerability, and above all things, love. That's really sweet. After the album dropped, the singer's fans, who are pros at picking up on the clues, were quick to note that the track Betty appeared to drop some major news about their nine month old. They said that the lyrics to the song featured three names, Betty, Inez, and James, the latter two being the names of Reynolds and Lively's three and a half and five-year-old

daughters. Right, so everyone thinks that Inez, I mean, the thing is, is like there are three songs on the album, True Swifties know, that they're all... Please, break it down for the people who just listen to music and enjoy it. Okay, and I want to go through all the songs really quickly, but there are three songs on the album, August, Cardigan, and Betty, that are supposedly about a love triangle from three different perspectives. And all the characters in the love triangles have names, and she references them. Betty is obviously one of them. James is one. And what's the third?

Inez. Inez, thank you. Well, no, she's not in the love story. She's just the girl who's constantly saying rumors. You heard the rumors from Inez. You can't believe a word she says but this time it was true. So she's not a main character. Do you think she just used the baby's names as like inspiration? It's totally possible. Or is Inez really starting stuff at three and a half years old?

I don't think so. Okay. Again unclear because Taylor is very overt sometimes but it's always so subtle. It's like we could be making this all up in our heads you never know and I feel like if she's writing about three people and it's like that and this is kind of what she did when she had the the kid on the song that was like gorgeous where it's like a fun fact for this kid who gets their name in like an iconic piece of art writing totally so I think she probably just borrowed the names yeah no I don't think it has like any you know weird meaning yeah yeah i'm not saying that the baby's starting stuff no and the word i mean the word um the name inez is so fabulous for songwriting because it rhymes

yeah it's not like claudia what the fuck rhymes with claudia dottia thank you um and just quickly back to the album it's been really fabulous to see so many people like coming out and supporting the album like celebrities people who aren't traditional Taylor Swift stans. I mean, of course, as an OG, like, you know, you feel a little bit of resentment. It's like everyone's like this album's amazing. Like, yeah, I know. Like, of course it is. But I'm ultimately happy that like everyone's getting on board because everyone.

Who are the people who are some of the standout people who spoke about it who aren't in her usual circle? Angie Cohen was listening to it all weekend on his Instagram stories, and he tweeted about it. Like, I can't stop listening to it. Oh, that's really cool. Yeah, no, and it's just been, like, even my friend, I don't know why I'm talking about him so much,

but Jason Abramson, who, like, loves Bon Iver, I'm always trying to get him to listen to Taylor because he, like, loves music, and he, like, gets it and appreciates it from afar. But, like, I was like, you have to listen to this album. Listen to X, Y, and Z. And he's like, I already listened to it. The song with Bon Iver is so good. Beautiful.

It's called Exile. It's a collab between the two. I think it's, you know, the two of them talking about a relationship and a breakup from like two totally different perspectives. And it's funny how like you could literally go through something with someone and you do see it so differently. Yeah. You have two completely different stories.

I learned that that's what the song was about from Snatchler's Folklore Reaction video, which you should definitely check out after you finish this episode. So again, I don't think I've even had enough time to come up with a couple favorites because it's such a, first of all, it's 16 songs. It's a big album and it's filled with just so many nuggets. Like I can't even begin to tell you what my top three are, but here are some standouts immediately. The Last Great American Dynasty. I mean the fact that taylor can write a bop about a woman who lived in the house before she lived in it is just songwriting at its finest exile i love my tears ricochet is is a favorite for a lot of people i'm obsessed with the story and the lyrics i'm not obsessed with the song i just i can i think that the song

is about scott borchetta and the whole drama of like her losing her art and losing Scott Borchetta who was like a part of her family for like the last 12 years and there's a line in it that it's like when you can't sleep at night do you hear my stolen lullabies which is like definitely about Scott Borchetta and it's just really beautifully done although it's not like my favorite melodically okay um I love the song August I feel like it's just really beautifully done, although it's not like my favorite melodically. Okay. I love the song August. I feel like it should have been like the ending credits of a 90s rom-com. Like a bottle of wine, cause you were never mine.

It's just so, it's so 90s. It's so credits, right? I hope she does a music video for it. And she, I mean, she would never do this, cause it's like too simple. But do like what Ariana Grande did, and do like a recreation of a fabulous 90s movie. Or like make your own rom-com

and have the song. Like the song, I just can't hear the song without literally thinking I'm watching the credits. Yeah, she needs to call up Hannah Lux Davis and make it happen. She needs to call up Hannah Lux Davis. And probably my favorite song on the album right now is Illicit Affairs.

I just think it's so good. And anytime Taylor talks about like something adolescent and anytime taylor talks about um like something adolescent like when she talks about the high school or like frames a song in like a school scene it just it tugs at my heartstrings because that's how she started writing about like high school um and illicit affairs she has a fabulous line about meeting someone behind the mall and it's just so like og taylor and that's what i love about it and illicit affairs has a little bit of a beat you know it's a slow album but you can dance to Illicit Affairs. Nice. And I love Peace and Betty. Those are my tops. Peace is just really, really beautiful. And Betty is an actual country

song. Like there's a harmonica on it. It's so good. I feel like that is the one that is sort of rising from, from the others. The creme de la creme, even though it's all so creme-y. You know what they say about cream? It rises to the top. Yeah. Creme creme even though it's all so creamy you know what they say about cream it rises to the top yeah creme i don't that means cream i know you guys are from new jersey quote for my comedy special disgrace queen line killed me and you want to hear a little fun fact that was improv like that was i didn't have that joke written no it was it was so good it was so funny i remember like now i remember that while i was at the show it killed me it was like one of the things i was hearing for the first time and then when I watched the

special that is just so fabulous and life-changing it killed me once again thank you so much again disgraced queen now streaming I can't believe you know I know I'm being so annoying like talking about it so much but you know when you release a project there's like a couple days where there's so much buzz about it and then like everyone forgets about it what's on with their life I can't what is it especially in the influencer world. And especially in the pandemic. It's like everyone's just on to bigger and better things. Yeah. It's kind of like everyone's just trying to get it over with.

Like they have something that they need to launch and like, they're like, please just let it pass. Yeah. And so, I mean, what are we three weeks out now? It came out June 30th. Almost a month. A month. Literally I got tagged in so many stories over the weekend.

Like people who hadn't found the time to watch it yet. And like, it really just means so much to me that like people like it because I've done a lot of things in my career most of which I'm not proud of but like I am so proud of this one because like I think it's so good speaking of things that you've done in your career I watched say yes to the dress oh I watched well our friend Kristen was just on I need to watch her episode she's so fabulous and Liz is in it and her friend Chelsea from from Dynasty Fallon is our friend Kristen's best friend from like she's her maid of honor and so she that's just like such a treat and it's such a sweet episode but it got me in the spirit

of say us to the dress and I don't think I've watched our episode in full other than the clips that people send me on Instagram and Snapchat I haven't watched the whole thing in full since it came out for sure I don't think I've ever even actually seen it in full. Like it's so crazy. I'm so ashamed of it. It's so crazy. I understand why you don't, why it's not your favorite thing. Because like it really was so crazy how the woman was like, this might be the first bride I've ever been afraid of.

When you legit said. She said that? Yeah. When you legit said like, I just want long sleeves. The rest I'm open. And then she was like so constricted. You know like running around the store. Like I asked for the most The rest I'm open. And then she was like so constricted. Like running around the store. Like I asked for the most complicated black snake skin dress.

You were so particular. She said when you had one criteria, like honestly, you didn't have enough specification. People come in. I want a sweetheart neckline mermaid tail. I'm like, I don't care. I just want long sleeves because it's a religious wedding and I don't like my arms. So it's like, therefore, me being insecure about my arms is me being difficult. It's also just I think it's just the trope of the show.

I hold nothing against the consultant. was lovely she was lovely but it was just so funny to like see us also the sisters I guess it's four years ago more more I think it doesn't it feels like 10 years ago okay but I think in reality it's four years ago my hair is so short well yeah I got married it was before I started using a full coverage foundation it was 2016 okay four years ago like legit almost to the day literally to the day it was fall of 2016 um and it's just like the way that we were all talking we're like totes like gorgina but they like made us do that they did i couldn't maybe you know what you know that's a fabulous patreon episode me and us watching it and we'll tell you the stuff that they made us do like

that's a good idea and all the social media stuff stop like seriously stop I know I know they they just forced us to be so cringy but like I was so excited to be on the show but the episode came out really really cute I mean obviously we're our own worst critics and it's your episode, so you probably look at it the most harshly, but I think other people really enjoy it. Like we look, we're cute. You know, I think I would have loved to have been there for you as a bride.

Like I think being like a sister or a bridesmaid is like the best part. You don't have to try on dresses. You just get to sit and enjoy like being on TV. Yeah, it's exciting. Yeah, and it's like you're not, they're not trying to make you out to look bad, even though sometimes they really pit like bridesmaid against bridesmaid in certain

episodes that didn't happen with us. But I do really want to see Kristen's episode. Yeah you should watch it. Okay next story a little update on a story from last week but Kanye is apologizing to Kim on Twitter saying please forgive me. He tweeted I would like to apologize to my wife Kim for going public with something that was a private matter I did not cover her like she has covered me to Kim I want to say I know I hurt you please forgive me thank you for always being there for me I mean the irony is that he's publicly apologizing for being public yeah I'm sure they've spoken about it privately and that he's apologized privately but I think he needs to close the loop with the public you know because we still haven't heard him you know I think they were just closing the book on this chapter I also heard I also heard that he like checked himself into

the hospital in coding did you hear that no I didn't hear that there were paparazzi pictures of him um like it's unclear if it was like for him and for his mental health but there are pictures of him at cody whatever the hospital is called cody international general cody jenner cody general yes yes yes yes um there are pictures of him i'm sure i don't fucking know um cody sinai i don't know um c Cody Hill okay I'm done um I don't know if it was for him or if it was maybe he broke his wrist I don't know but there are photos of him walking into a hospital which is a good sign that is a good sign yeah no I'm glad that things are quieting down and he's he has apologized on Twitter which I think is good for the world even though I personally like

didn't need it and I think they had you you know, their husband and wife, and they communicate, and I'm, I think it's okay. But I look forward to, you know, putting this in the rear view. Me too. I'm, like, over talking about it. I'm not going to lie. Yeah. So I know you want to talk about our fifth and final story.

I do. I'm going to jump right in. Riverdale star Vanessa Morgan is pregnant, and Claudia Asher has a lot of thoughts. Well, here's why. It's so. Let me read. Let me just read the announcement, okay? It's multifaceted, my interest in this story, but please. Riverdale actress Vanessa Morgan is pregnant and expecting a baby boy with her husband,

Michael Kopech. She wrote on Instagram, quote, was debating keeping this part of my life hidden, but I knew people would want to see pictures eventually with my belly and I wanted you guys to hear it from me. I do want to keep this chapter of my life private, but did want to be the first to share the news. She said, it's almost like everything I thought mattered in this life

has completely changed. We're here for such a greater purpose, and life is so precious. I can't believe how much growth and strength you've already given me as your mom. It's like God knew I needed you, my angel. She added a few more sweet notes. But overall, she's so excited and so happy. So here's why the story really piqued my interest. One, I always forget that Vanessa Morgan from Riverdale, Tony Topaz, got married to Michael

Kopech, who you might think is just like a low level MLB player, which he is. But it's very important to not forget that he was on one season of Don't Be Tardy for the party with the Beermans because he himself was dating Brielle Bierman when he was in the minor leagues. And like there was talk about him getting to the major leagues. And she like kind of like found him and like started dating him. And then they were together for so long and they were like really going strong. And a lot of people shipped them.

And then one day he broke up with or I don't know who broke up with him. But one day they broke up. And five minutes later, he was with Vanessa Morgan, and then they got married, and it's like, oh, damn, like, this is so real. Yeah. So, of course, anytime we speak about Vanessa Morgan, I'm always interested because the Bierman connection is so fascinating. A reality star and a TV star, like, it's just so rare, you know?

Yeah, no, it is quite rare. It's an interesting little young Hollywood... Moment. ...triangle, but it's not a triangle because because like no there was never seemed to be any beef but it's just an interesting factoid you know we do like to just remember where everyone came from it's so important to remember where you come from in order to understand where you're going thousand percent so another reason why I thought this photo was so interesting and when we posted it on our Instagram, people were very quick to point out in the Instagram caption, she pretty much only uses I as a pronoun,

not like we're so excited, we are keeping this private. It's like, I'm so excited. I feel like this is meant to happen to me. It was just all very first person, which begs the question, are her and Michael Kopech not together anymore? She still has their wedding pictures

and their wedding was kind of recently. So she still has the wedding pictures up on her Instagram he is not tagged in them but he deleted his Instagram as far as I know like a while ago okay um and there's just like confusion got it I I hear I hear why that's weird you know typically people say we I mean maybe there is something going on or maybe you know he doesn't want to be they don't want their relationship to be out in the public anymore because everybody has an opinion and that's actually something that I can respect. I mean, that's something we spoke about

on the Patreon with Olivia yesterday because we were talking about Maren Morris, how like she's decided to no longer share pictures of her son on social media because she got backlash literally for the dumbest thing ever. And she was like just over it and people were just so mean and quick to judge.

Like, and Olivia's like, honestly, like I totally get that and I respect that. Olivia's probably gonna do the same so um I totally respect people's need for privacy and also maybe it's like he doesn't want to be he doesn't want to be on Instagram he doesn't want to be on social media she like she says she thought about keeping this private that's probably what they maybe both wanted at first but now this is like her journey and she's gonna share just her piece of it she might not but like he might not be down for that right she's just sharing her experience it's very possible but I do think that is an interesting factoid yeah that you pointed out also um I just want to update everyone because

Kanye did visit the hospital after his apology um the source said that Kanye has been experiencing a lot of anxiety lately he has been surrounded by a lot of people and started to feel really overwhelmed. He decided to go to the hospital to get checked out. Upon his arrival, Kanye decided he'd rather be seen at home. He headed back to his home. An ambulance followed. Kanye was treated and his doctor says his vitals are normal and he's feeling much better. Oh, good.

Okay. So that's the update on that. Love to hear it. We're going to jump into our TV recap segment.

Thank you, stamps.com. Let's do it. Black Panther, what were your thoughts? Okay, so I love to just watch a movie that has completely just taken over the world. So exciting to see what all the hype was about. Now, I'm not so into superhero movies, is what I've learned.

I haven't seen that many. The last one I watched was Aquaman. I wasn't crazy about it. Because all of the fighting and the technology, and then you have to understand the technology in order to understand how they're going to be defeated with the fighting like that's just not really like my genre but i thought so much about it was so cool i thought some of the casting was so great and one of my favorite um things about it was that the villain claw you know who he is right no Richard from 13 going on 30 Richard the boss the boss oh Jackie at first I was like who is this guy he's so familiar he's

so right there and I couldn't put my finger on it and I googled him and once I saw his face outside of being a superhero I was like it's Richard I'm so glad he's still working that brings me so much joy he was a really good villain and Zach always says like um a great like superhero movie is only as good as the villain so I try and like watch everything through that lens sometimes and I think the fact that we had like two villains yep was so great but I wasn't totally like against Michael B Jordan you know I think he had some valid points I I think he did too. And so I didn't like the way that whole thing played out. I feel like it could have been solved in a kind of better way as far as just like storylines go, you know? You know, I feel like they couldn't decide

whether they wanted Michael B. Jordan to be like all bad because while yes, he was irrational with like the burning of the Black Panther liquid and he was like, he was the mad king. Like he was crazy. Yeah, he literally said burn them all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was really driven by this concept

that I kind of agreed with. It's like, yes, what's happening in Wakanda is amazing, but to not share the resources outside of their own community with their black community that is suffering in other places, isn't that wrong? Yeah.

So I feel like they stole his idea and then let him die. Yeah, so at first I was like, well, he kind of has a good idea. Why do they have to make him take it so far far but I guess that's like a commentary on just human beings like nobody is perfect even if you have the right idea people get carried away with power yeah you know but I didn't think that he had to die no I didn't think he was gonna die yeah I didn't think he was gonna die and even when he said like come on we'll we'll we'll help you and

he was like I don't want to be in chains I thought that um Chadwick was going to be like no I want you to you know be on my council no they like let him die I thought that was weird too like I wasn't fully satisfied with the ending I thought Chadwick Bozeman was amazing like a really fabulous actor I had one major problem with the movie and it was Sterling K Brown because to me like he is just so cemented in my brain as like a suburban dad i don't know why like prop partially from his character and this is us but just like seeing him on red carpets he's like kind of nerdy and like i was just not buying that he was like a traitorous villain for one minute like i was not buying anything he was selling me and i'm like is that sterling k brown i just i wasn't buying it at all and it was like he was like acting and it was like making me laugh

like it just I wasn't I wasn't into his casting at all I I hear that but I also think maybe it was good because he was kind of like undercover in the U.S. yes it's like you would never suspect so you would yeah so it didn't that didn't bother me necessarily but I hear what you're saying I thought Lupita Nyong'o was fabulous and it could have really dealt with like more airtime for her love story because the love story seemed kind of random yeah and kind of rushed you know at the end they like get back they get back together I think they had been together in the past because like of everything that they had been through but like it would have been nice to see them like fall in love more along the way yeah there were two things that I thought the movie was really important. And I think why it resonated with so many people.

The first is like clearly the metaphor of like Wakanda being like, everyone thinks they know what Wakanda is, but like, it's actually like this flourishing community I think is like a metaphor for, you know, the black community. It's like, everyone thinks that they know and everyone has like kind of judgments,

but it's like, you really don't know what the black community, like it's thriving, you know? So I think it was like, I think, I think if I'm reading it correctly, it was like you really don't know what the black community like it's thriving you know so I think it was like I think I think if I'm reading it correctly it was like a metaphor and um and Ben watched with me because Ben's I don't I'm not really into superhero movies like at all and Ben was just like excited that I had to watch one so he was watching with me and he was really pointing out it's like can you just believe like this movie was made in 2019 it's like why is there

such a lack of diversity in Marvel which is like this there's not five Marvel movies there's five Marvel movies a year like it's not that hard so it was this kind of like cultural reset and for that I think the movie is spectacular yes you know I agree with that and it shouldn't have taken so long yeah and there were like funny bits throughout where it's like when she says about this she's like what are those and it's like oh it's it's still it's like when she says about this she's like what are those and it's like oh it's it's still it's like so culturally relevant even though it's taking place in like a you know a far-off world well so that was the other thing it's like as far as I knew I thought it was about like a made-up place so then it's like the movie opens in Oakland California and I was so confused

I'm like I thought this was like a fantasy yeah and then they kept going to the real world yeah whereas like sometimes it takes like a superhero movie like takes place like in a different time yeah future yeah right right but then I guess like Ben made me watch Batman and like it takes place in New York and like it's very like I just I get confused between like superhero movies and then like cartoons you know and like like sci-fi like fan fiction like Star Wars totally totally oh it's hot in here Yeah, but that's also like Wonder Woman takes place during World War II. So I never saw Wonder Woman. Like, I really don't like superhero movies. Yeah, but I actually, I do like the aspect where it's kind of, it kind of is like historical

fiction. They're re, they're telling a story about a certain time in history and the outcome of these superhero events affects the course of history. Again, not my genre but I totally like I got the hype and the music was so good in Black Panther. That was like a great element that really elevated the movie. So good. Two things. One the whole storyline with the CIA guy who they brought and healed and then he was like part of the crew. I just like I didn't understand his purpose. And it was never really made clear whether or not he like ran back to America and told them like

because he was like a foreign spy so it's like did they tell the CIA back at home like all about the gadgets and gizmos aplenty and the who's this and what's it's galore I don't think that he did because he seemed maybe he even stayed like he was like a true ally yeah he was he really was maybe he was there so that they could have information about Michael B Jordan but it just it was kind of strange and then the second part was that um the tribe what are they called Jabari I just I love them so much me too the king was everything of the sort that so hot literally I loved them and it's like at first I was like are these guys bad or good because they wanted to overthrow um Chadwick Boseman but when they lost they didn't rebel like they just they took it they took they took the

loss and then it was like they went back and and needed the Jabari's help and they they really reminded me of the Dothraki when they like came in on horseback with their like feather yeah no it actually did remind me of Game of Thrones a little bit when they're having that battle uh outside the castle I guess yes and they're all being circled in which literally happened in the Battle of the Bastards and then the from the side comes um Jabari Jabari but also that's literally what happened with the Battle of the Bastards when from the side came Littlefinger's Peeps yeah um it was it was good you know I don't think it was my favorite that we've watched yet but I get it now yeah I get it and I'm glad I saw it and it was really cool um our next film is If

Beale Street Could Talk which has come very highly recommended was nominated and won a bunch of Oscars maybe last year or the year before that um so yeah make sure to watch it and we'll be recapping a week from today can't wait I also really want to talk about the kissing booth, um, and Indian matchmaking, which are two things that I watched this weekend. Well, I can't say watched for the kissing booth because I barely made it through 45 minutes. But you're, you've been so hard on the kissing booth. Like, well, you know what?

You're right. You, I have, you have it. Cause this is what happened for people who are just tuning in, you know, recently you loved kissing booth one. You loved it so much. I watched it so many times and I felt like it transported me to like a time in my life Because this is what happened. For people who are just tuning in, you know, recently, you loved Kissing Booth 1. You loved it so much. I watched it so many times, and I felt like it transported me to, like, a time in my life when, like, I was in high school, and, like, I just, I thought it was the most amazing movie.

You thought it was so well done. Obviously, like, the, you know, Bella and Edward style of real-life love between Joey and Jacob really transports the movie, makes it extremely believable, and it is really well done in terms of how they portray high school events, and you loved loved it you loved it so much I did and it also like created an entirely new genre on Netflix 100% that then all these movies came to follow like to all the boys I loved before so then what happened was you saw to all the boys I loved before and you turned

on kissing booth because you want to know why the kissing booth really had to walk so that to all the boys could run and when I went back and watched the kissing booth really had to walk so that to all the boys could run and when I went back and watched the kissing booth after seeing to all the boys I love before I'm like this movie's a piece of shit like it's it's just it's cubic zirconium versus diamonds like it's just it's it's not even the same and so with the sequel I feel like it's so strange what's going on because the sequel took 100 years to come out. We got To All the Boys I Loved Before 1 after The Kissing Booth. And the To All the Boys sequel came out before The Kissing Booth sequel.

I don't know why it took so long. I had so many problems with the sequel. I mean, what made The Kissing Booth great was that, like, you knew that Jacob Elordi and Joey King were dating and that, like, it was so cute that they met on set. And now we know not only are they not dating, he's dating Zend and they do not get along like Joey and Jacob yeah it is so palpable in the movie Jackie stop Jacob Elordi feels like he just would be anywhere else besides this movie sadly he's just dying to go back to euphoria it's just there's this palpable weirdness Joey King is wearing a wig the whole time and it's just very ill-fitting and I'm I just was so

disinterested it just the magic was so lost yeah that's really rough I feel like even when they were dating post kissing booth one I wasn't feeling the need for a kissing booth two because all that's left to do is to break up this couple because he goes to college right and now that the magic is lost like I understand they're gonna make a lot of money from the movie and something did good so let's keep doing it again until we beat it into the ground there's a third one already filmed but like the what we had the magic of kissing booth one was so special like sometimes you just have to leave it at that because it can't be recreated especially because these two broke up no sometimes you gotta leave well enough alone I totally agree and I haven't even watched kissing booth two and I don't know

if I will because I have like so much on my list right now it's just. I totally agree. And I haven't even watched Kissing Booth 2. And I don't know if I will. Because I have like so much on my list right now. It's just. Like I keep saying. I mean I didn't even finish it. But to me there were just so many things that made no fucking sense. Like Elle's like. She was always going to go to UC Berkeley.

And then she's like going to apply to some Boston schools. So she could be near Noah. And I don't know what ended up happening. But she's like applying to Harvard. It's like you can't just apply to Harvard. Because you decided to. It's like she was applying to Boston College. BU. And it's like you can't just apply to Harvard because you decided to it's like she was applying to Boston College um BU and it's like you don't apply to BU and Harvard they were talking about Harvard like it was community college like like anyone

could just apply and get in it was bothering me so much that's so funny and then there's this girl at college that like Joey King is obviously jealous of because she's like so beautiful and worldly and she like walks into the restaurant and is speaking French and Joey just feels like a true high schooler in front of this girl who's been hanging out with Jacob Elordi and her his new friends and literally in no world is this a college student she's 100 years old like no she's like 25 but like yeah she's just the least college college student ever got it wow you know what I'm just thinking about now like there I just saw that the next one's gonna to come out in 2021 and like I'm assuming Elle will be in college but like college is so different right now like we

the students didn't really have a spring semester fall is pretty much going to be virtual yeah I wonder if like I mean probably Kissing Booth won't do it a virtual college session but some of these shows are going to have to like incorporate what the quarantine into if it's a show about you know a crime like i'm watching billions right now and what's crazy is it must have been filmed in january or february because um in the last episode that they put out wags mentions coronavirus oh so now it's like obviously coronavirus would affect bobby axelrod's entire business like is is bobby axelrod in quarantine is the next season just Bobby Axelrod in quarantine right I mean we know for sure Carbureth Enthusiasm is going to be acknowledging

the pandemic this has now gone on far too long for for any show to really just skip over it because like what were their characters doing and but the thing is I don't want to watch about people in quarantine I know especially once we're out of here it's depressing but like this you know that is the situation. So it's just interesting. The other thing I watch, me and Ben. How will the coronavirus affect Yellowstone, the Dutton Ranch? Who knows? Who knows?

Me and Ben fell in love with Indian matchmaking on Netflix this weekend. I just heard good things about it. Like some people had like negative things to say about it in terms of like its cultural meaning. But to be honest honest I absolutely loved it and I loved learning about Indian culture especially as it pertains to marriage because so much of it reminded me of Jewish culture it's just like every mom nagging their son like when are you getting married when are you getting married it's literally all they talk about um and I mean I just I loved it first of all it was so interesting because when you think of arranged marriage you think of kind of like a traditional version of it which I don't think has existed for a while

where it's like forced by the parents no she's really I don't even I don't even think they should be using the word arranged marriage because she's a matchmaker through and through she's like a virtual dating app like she finds you matches she sends you the bio data which is like name picture age job fun facts about you you get choices of course and you go on a date if you don't like them you you say bye like it's really not an arranged marriage but they talk about two types of marriages in India even though the matchmaker is very prominent in India but she comes to the states for American Indians she said there's two types of marriages there's an arranged marriage and a love marriage and a love marriage is like you just meet someone but then it implies that

the arranged marriage like doesn't have love which it really does because it's not an arranged marriage it's a setup I understand honestly from what I understand some arranged marriages or setup marriages are the most successful well so they started every episode with an arranged marriage um couple who are have been married for 40 50 60 years it was so funny they're like so hilarious and so cute and just and of course there are bad marriages whether you get married via arranged marriage or love love marriage and i don't know i just think that like the show aimed to you're right it doesn't feel right to call it a love marriage because it you're there needs i feel like the word needs to be like a felon like a marriage where you fell right so like i just feel like the show was meant to deconstruct some of

the things you might think about like modern arranged marriages in India and I feel like it did a good job of that and I mean the some of the characters that were on the show were just true characters Aparna the woe like she was bothering me so much she was from but whatever I don't want to get into it because like towards the end like the show really did lose me they just like kept changing they were like three singles here three singles there you, spoiler alert, none of the couples are together now. Like not a single one. So at the end, it started to feel like a waste of time. But in the beginning.

You need at least one to root for. To rally. That's like any show. Love is Blind. Even The Bachelor. Like without those successful couples in the past, this show doesn't have a leg to stand on. So like it ended kind of weirdly. But like the first six out of eight episodes I was living for it and the best part of the whole show was this matchmaker she's like very world-renowned like her she flies all around the

world meets with clients is in airports if she sees an Indian person she's like hi I'm Seema blah blah and she walks into someone's house and she comes to the house she meets the family it's really Indian marriages are not between really a man and a woman it's between two families so it's like when they meet for the first time, the families come and then they go out on a date by themselves. But so she walks into the house and she's like, hi, I'm Seema from Mumbai. She literally, everywhere she goes,

hi, I'm Seema from Mumbai. Seema from, she always says she's from Mumbai. It is so funny. I'm like, is she keep saying, is that her last name? Or she keeps saying Seema from Mumbai. She just says, hi, I'm Seema from Mumbai. She herself was an absolute legend.

Like just giving some of these singles like the cold hard truth like you gotta get get it together you gotta stop being so negative like some of these people like had you know walls within themselves that she had to break down um but again like what you learned about indian culture was so fascinating like literally if you make a match she would take their pictures to a face reader and he would be able to tell within minutes if they're a match he's like he showed a picture of a parna and he was like this girl's very stubborn yeah she is like he could just really know so much about them look for i don't he didn't say he didn't reveal the method okay but it was just crazy like the different

methods and then they they really believe in astrology so they give the charts of two people that are really getting along and show it to like a world famous astrologer and it's like what does it mean and there was a couple you know Vyasar who was starting to get along with this girl and they did not match like at all and he was right because literally like they were FaceTime dating for two weeks and they couldn't stop fighting like there really is so much to it and they believed so firmly in these things and it was really cool like I really really enjoyed it. It sounds really good. It was. I'm going to add it to my list because you're making it sound really good.

And then you just learn so much about the region. Like there was Nadia who was like everyone's favorite. She was just like this sweet, sweet, sweet girl who just like couldn't find the right guy. And she was Guyanese. And I honestly had never, I didn't know what that meant. And it's like this region in Southeast Asia, I think, where a lot of Indians were transported or something. So it's like a lot of people in the Indian community

don't consider her to be Indian because she's Guyanese. Got it. And then Seema ended up finding her a Guyanese guy in New York. It was just, it was beautiful. And of course, none of the couples ended up together. Not even those two? No. And she didn't even like, the Guyanese guy in New York it was just it was beautiful it was and of course none of the couples ended up together but not even those two no and she didn't even like the Guyanese guy didn't work out she ended up with this cutie from Chicago Shaker his name was and they like went off into the sunset and you just assumed that they were together forever and um they're not damn it's hard to watch now knowing that it doesn't work out. But it was just, there were funny moments.

It was just really, really good. Okay. Wow. Great rec. Thank you. Yeah. Anything else you watched this weekend? Well, just Yellowstone,

which a lot of people have been suggesting. It is on Peacock, originally on Paramount Network. And it's like Kevin Costner and other people who, so many actors who look like other actors. Like the son Casey to me looks like a mixture of Garrett Hedlund and um Tim Riggins oh sounds hot and Avery from Nashville no it's really good it starts off really slow and it's really kind of brutal and intense and at first I was like this is not suitable for campers um but I think it tells like a real story of what goes on in, in Montana. Um, and like, cause there's so much like forestry and animals out there and livestock. And it's really, really interesting.

I think the show is really well done. It's so beautiful. It's the farm chem, like it's the farm chem in life you've been dreaming of. Some TV shows like impact your mental health in the sense like when I, when I watch Vanderpump Rules, like I always want to go out and get drunk with my friends and i feel like if i watch montana like i would just want to retire on a farm yeah well like that's always what i want for myself if i watch yellowstone not if i watch montana sorry it's always what i want so it's just like in like reaffirms that in me so hopefully i can find like a yellowstone

rock scenic ride on peloton oh yeah over but i think that you should watch it okay because right now i'm in the middle of season two i'm not sure if there's a season three i hope that there is because it's one of those shows where it's like it's not like everything's popping off left and right but like when you're in it it transports you're in a whole new world kind of like the crown it's exactly like the crown it's like it not everything's moving if you if you don't understand what someone said in one line like you don't need to rewind yeah but overall you're just in another place fabulous yeah um also over the weekend shea coulee was announced the drag queen all-stars winner um of course this was the least shocking news i've heard all day the season was literally made so that she could get justice because she deserved to win on

her season and that's that on that i said it from day one she's toasty as hell and we in this house we fucking stan shea Coulee. And I'm just, look at me. Do I look surprised? No, because I'm not. You don't. I'm not. You don't look surprised.

Because I'm not. No, you don't look it. Actually, I look a little surprised right now. My eyebrows are kind of high. But I was just, it was her time, you know? Yeah. Like the San Francisco 49ers. Oh, speaking of eyebrows, watching Say Yes to the Dress made me feel so good about my

decision to get Botox and to continue to get Botox because the frown line like was crazy. And it's like I'm so much younger there. And my my forehead's all over the place. And it wasn't even like I wasn't even on the show. But you could see my frown line. You were on the show. Yeah. But like not even.

Anything else? It got really hot in here and I'm ready to go. We've talked about so much. I think, I really think this is an episode where we've talked about the most we've ever talked about. I hope so. Every story had like a sub story. We talked about like a million different shows.

So I believe that is all she wrote. Her hand must be hurting. I mean, my thighs are chafing, so her hand must be hurting. Okay.
