Good morning, millennials. Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Monday. It has finally stopped raining here in New York. The skies are clear, or so are our minds from our fabulous, relaxing, hopefully relaxing everyone that had a relaxing weekend. Good morning, brother. Good morning.

Oh my God, that was our last episode. My God, what positive feedback we got. I know, you guys. That was so much fun, but I literally needed the whole weekend to decompress because I left it all on this couch. You left everything on the couch. We had to have a cleaning crew come in and clean up all the things that you left. Like, once a year, I give it all. I give every comedic instinct I have to the show.

Brain cell. I leave it all on this couch. And I need the rest of the year to recoup. And recharge for next Halloween. Right. But it was so amazing. That was hands down my favorite one we've ever done. Same.

I mean, we, what I loved about it is that nobody guessed it. So many people thought we were going to be David and Alexis. Okay. Let's talk about our plans initially and what we were saying and what I wanted to be versus what you wanted to be. Because. I thought that I had had the idea like three months ago and like we, we didn't need to, but you didn't like it. I wanted to be versus what you wanted to be. So I thought that I had had the idea like three months ago and like we, we didn't need to, but you didn't like it.

I want it to be Viola and Sebastian Hastings. And I just thought like, while I love, she's the man, you know how I feel about that film. I thought it was a confusing costume one, because if one of us is Sebastian, like as he is like that person. No, I know. We were both going to be Amanda Bynes. Yeah. Amanda Bynes as Viola and Amanda Bynes as Sebastian.

But like that's one, that's two people playing one person. It's just a little confusing. I think you're looking too much into it. And I think it would have been absolutely stellar. But I'll keep it in my back pocket if I have, you know, maybe I'll do it with Ben next year. I would love to see that. It's a premier idea and I won't let you shit on it. I wanted to be David and Alexis Rose from Schitt's Creek, which would have been great.

And I think a lot of people guessed it. I would have been David and you would have been Alexis yeah you weren't excited about playing Alexis and it requires everyone having watched Schitt's Creek which like even though it feels like it not everyone does no also why I didn't like it well one it's so much more fun to be David than it is to be Alexis and like it's never good when one is better than the other I mean I would have been Alexis I just think that would have been more expected yeah and it's also like kind of she's like like lame. Like she's great, but she doesn't except for David, like there's not a lot. And literally everyone in the world did some like Schitt's Creek variation. So I'm glad we were like unique. Yeah. I mean, I did wind up being

Schitt's Creek on Saturday night. Zach and I were Moira and Johnny Rose. And once I knew that I was going to do that with Zach, I didn't really care about doing it here for the show. By the way, you did Schitt's Creek probably better than I've seen anyone do it. Wow. And it's so much better to dress up as Moira and Johnny than it is to dress up as David and Alexis. Like if you wanted to do Moira and Johnny, like I would have put on the eyebrows, like no brainer, but we do siblings. We try to do siblings. Every year it'll probably be different. We always want to be family members, but it's so much fun when we're siblings. And the Royal family was just like the perfect, I had so much fun. I mean, crazy Harry. He's fucking nuts.

I'll never look at him the same again. Knucking futz. I took, I had to get my work bag out this morning and I opened it. I'm like, why does it feel like a little bulkier? And like my wig was in there and I was just like harking back. Oh, I don't know if this made the fast five. I don't believe that it did, but I think we should talk about the fact that I had coronavirus as of April this year. Oh, yeah. And I was having a very hard time breathing, brother.

William, Prince William had COVID in April, not Claudia Oshry. Just want to set that for a minute. Oh, yeah. Not Claudia Oshry with a British accent. No, and Claudia Oshry with a British accent still has not had COVID. No, neither has Jackie Oshry. Even though I have nary a time been charged with being a COVID denier by some of my haters. Or a COVID spreader.

Yeah, super spreader. You can't spread COVID if you don't get COVID. And at this point, I feel like now I'm actually in the worst position ever. I'm the most vulnerable member of society. Right, because you haven't had it. I haven't had it. And most people I know have had it either super bad, or they didn't even know, and then they have antibodies.

I'm never going to be that person. But as I feel like we're heading towards another lockdown, like I still have not gotten it. No, I mean, same. I mean, cause if you had it, then I would have it and vice versa. And it's like weird to be annoyed about it, but like, I kind of wished like I had gone through it already. Right. Yeah. It would be like more immune. Right. I think a lot of people feel that way. So it was a great hollow weekend. Yes, it was. Hope everyone had a fun and you dressed up as well. A little Amy polar action. Well, it was. Hope everyone had a fun, safe. And you dressed up as well. Yes.

A little Amy Poehler action. Well, I wasn't planning on dressing up because I really, like, I give it all to the toast. And because we do it all on the toast, I don't feel pressure to dress up after the fact. Like, I love the fact that we are always celebrating Halloween on the toast. And I don't have to, like, go get, like, a slutty costume for a party on Saturday night. Yeah, and I didn't have, like, a party to go to. I was just hanging out with like five friends, but I literally happened to have in my bag, this juicy track suit. And I was like, what can I do with this? So I found a

wig. It wasn't the right wig, but I went as Amy Poehler from Mean Girls and actually ended up being hilarious. You know, when you wear a wig, some, I mean, you know, from Harry, some wigs have like supernatural powers that like seep from your hair follicles into your brain cells and transform you into like a truly different person. And you have this alter ego, this Amy Poehler wig, like even though it was more of like an Anna Nicole Smith wig, it made me nuts. Yeah, no, I am very aware of the power of wigs. And I feel like that is something that Moira Rose is always saying, like each wig, those

are her girls, like they're different people. And I, so I think that I actually love the feeling of Halloween when you just get this new persona. And I feel like in regular time, a lot of times like people go all out for Halloween, you know, hard on makeup, hard on outfit. And like, everyone's just really feels themselves. And then everyone said that Halloween's over because like you're, you don't get to be that person anymore, but it's like, be that person more often. Yeah, of course. Take on new personalities. Take on new personalities, go balls to the walls, do full glam. Like it's really fun. And I feel like actually every Halloween when I have to do like my makeup as someone else, I learned something new about makeup. And I actually, for the first time I did like black eyeshadow to be Moira. And I kind of

liked how it looked when I took my wig off later. And like, I feel like now I'll be experimenting with darker eyeshadows. Thanks to the power of Maria Rose. That's she's, she's so powerful. Yeah. Um, also I feel like there's really two types of girls on Halloween. Like girls who just like wear so much makeup feathers, like with no real like costume, it's just like sexy.

Angel. Like it's just like arbitrary, like sexiness where it's like, or you go like balls to the wall, like you put on a bald cap and like, you don't care you look sexy you just like want to nail the costume and that's me and I think what a Halloween costume means in 2020 and like last year too is really transforming because now like it's so much about getting the picture that looks like a picture that you're resembling and then you just like post the two photos or like doing a TikTok like impersonation so like now it's not enough just to have a costume and go to a party. Like you have to like create a short feature film, like a stylized photo in the same vein of your character.

This is what they're saying on the social dilemma. But I think that that is actually like ultimately a good thing. Like where everyone's being more creative, like the creative juices are flowing. I saw like a lot of cool content on my feed and it was actually great for COVID times so I think a lot of people did dress up to take pictures and sit in their house I mean that's what I did and I had a great time doing it of course it's actually better yeah so it was good for this year but in general I just think it's a cool thing that people are doing um so yes also on Friday night I dressed up as an author oh Oh. Yeah, it was really powerful.

But you didn't have to wear anything, did you? No, I didn't because I am an author. My book comes out January 26, 2021. If you'd like to pre-order it as an e-book, a regular hardcover book, an audio book, girlwithnojob.com slash book. Or you can just go to my Instagram, girlwithnojob, and check it out. All the pre-order links are now available. So now if you want to pre-order my audiobook on Audible or on Google Play,

it is available. Also, if you want to support local bookstores, which I feel like in these unprecedented times, we should all be supporting local bookstores, my book is available at tons of indie bookstores, and you can check it all out at girlwithnojob.com slash book. Book. Book. So yes, hope everyone had a happy Halloween. Yeah, it was a very, I had a great

weekend because it was my first weekend home with my little man, Bruno, and he is just like the most special thing in the world. And actually daylight savings. Thank you to the farmers. It worked perfectly for me this year because I ignored the extra hour yesterday and I took it this morning and now I have to get up an hour earlier to do all the things I need to do and make sure Bruno is all good to go. So I just incorporated it into this morning. And I think actually this growing pain of having to get up earlier, I might've just avoided it completely with Daylight Savings. Well, at first I was so lit up about Daylight Savings,

like an extra hour. And I woke up at 9.45, which was really 10.45. I felt so well rested. And then by last night, I was waiting for Real Housewives of Potomac to start and I could not keep my eyes open. I felt so dramatic. You know when people go to Dallas, and they're like, an hour time, and they're like, I'm so jet lagged. It's like, relax, Gina, go to Europe. But that was me last night.

The one hour just fucking killed me. Yeah. It was a trippy sort of day, and it was raining. And you know what's so interesting? Ever since I've gotten Bruno, it has rained every single day. And it reminds me of that Bruno Mars song. Every day it will rain rain rain by the way that is that bruno's namesake yes bruno mars yeah that makes a lot of sense oh that is oh

by the way and for a lot of reasons we named him Bruno, but one of the biggest ones is that Zach and I's favorite artist is Bruno Mars. He's a classic talent. Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Can I just stay here? Spend the rest of my days here? Bruno Mars is truly a world-renowned talent. Yeah. And it's been three million years since he got released new music,

and I just think it's time. No, I think it's time, too. And because it's been so long, that makes me feel like it's coming. Yeah, I also feel like he went so hard, like balls to the wall on the most recent album, won all the Grammys, went on two tours. I saw him twice at Barclays Center, like a year apart. He went so hard.

He needs a break. Yeah. Normalize taking breaks. And I think that he is taking that break. And so I'm happy for him. I'm happy for my little Bruno. Yesterday it was raining and he and I took a nap in bed together and it was just heavenly.

And it makes picking up all that poop just so much worth it. Like nothing. It's like nothing really. It's nothing. Water off a duck's back. Exactly. Duty off of Bruno's butthole. We have a great show for you guys today. Of course, we have the Fast Five Stories.

I had some more anecdotes I wanted to share about my weekend. Oh, I'm so sorry. Because I watched a lot of stuff. Well, that's what I was just about to say, is in our TV recap segment,

we will of course be recapping because it's Monday, Real Housewives of the Potomac, but Jackie and I both finished The Queen's Gambit on Netflix and I just need to discuss. And I watched, yes, need to discuss,

I watched American Murder Family Next Door. Yeah. Have you watched that, Chris Watts? You guys. Disturbing. I'll recap. So disturbing. And I also watched The Holiday with Emma Roberts.

Oh, okay. I've been curious to hear. It has a lot of steam. People are talking about it. I haven't seen any of the steam, and I won't recap it because you'll watch it, but I just want to say it was so good and cute, and she is just so funny, and I won't recap it because you'll watch it, but I just want to say it was so good and cute. And she is just so funny. Yeah.

And I love her. And I probably laughed out loud three or four times. Wow. And that is the mark of a good movie. It was really cute. I mean, it's not going to change your life or anything, but if you're just looking, it's really long, so I don't know if you can handle it.

Like, I thought I was in the middle, and then I still had an hour left. Yeah, it's like an hour 40 so but I just I feel like everything even if the script wasn't good I wouldn't have known because everything she does like she's just like stellar stellar yeah I agree and I thought it was really cute so love love love if you were on the fence definitely go for it you know actually you know because it's now November 1st, we're officially in holiday season. But it's also not just a Christmas movie. It's a year round.

Well, I was really almost feeling compelled to turn on the Hallmark channel last night. And actually, you could tell the air is different, especially here in New York. It's definitely holiday season. And I actually have been really feeling like I want to move apartments just because I want to have a holiday. I don't know. My apartment is not giving me holiday vibes do you know what that means yeah I mean there's a few things easy things you could do to give it the holiday vibe candles yeah I mean I guess it's like dramatic to like move for a holiday vibe like why don't you at least attempt to get the holiday vibe like I think I need a Christmas tree

and I know we like always talk about how Jews who have Christmas trees are such frauds um and I stand by that statement but like I really understand those people because like I really want to be one. Yeah. No, I think you can have everything but a Christmas tree. It's just like where. It's the only one I want. What about a wreath? Is that like so like non-Jewish?

Not Jewish. Yeah. Okay, so what? A candle. What else? Like you could have scented candles, like whichever Christmas scents you love the most. Maybe a little mistletoe. Garland. You could also like. But a little mistletoe. Garland.

But I don't have a mantle or anything. Put up lights, fairy lights. Love that. Yeah, it's just like a little. And Hanukkah is the festival of lights. I would go with the lights motif. Oh, maybe I'll go like hard with the Hanukkah designs. A little gilt.

Yeah. I forgot Hanukkah. Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made you out of tips. All right. Well, it's just like, it's that seasonal depression for Jewish people. Like, it's coming up, you know? That's why we have to go hard with what we do have. And that's what I always strive to do.

Yeah, that's a really good attitude. I just feel like in these unprecedented times, like, I'm so unmotivated to do, like, anything. Like, my work, my hobbies. Like, I can barely watch TV. I'm just so unmotivated. So when it comes to, like, holiday decor, I'm just, like, real. It's, like, so low on my list. I think if you prioritized it, it would pay off in droves. Maybe.

Get some nice candles. I'll get to Amazon. I have a lot of candles in my house. I'm going to bring you some tomorrow. Okay. Are you coming over tomorrow? No, I'll bring them here. Oh, okay.

Fabulous. Because I have a lot of, like, spare candles. And I could spare a candle to a friend. Yeah. I also think, like, I have truly been hibernating in my bedroom specifically. You got to switch it up, move to the living room. I think I need to start investing in my living room. Like it's so unhealthy to literally get into bed at when we get home from the trust, it's like one o'clock and literally like not leave till the next morning. Like, and don't get me wrong. I'm so productive. I literally wrote my whole book for my bed, but like, I, I think like

my mental health is like so severely declining. Like I think I need to move into the living room. Wow. You know what's crazy? It literally took you like nine months of quarantine to get to this state. No, my threshold is really high. Your threshold is really high. Because I remember when we did the Allsteens on Dex Zoom and we were like, who's suffering the most? And everyone was like, Jackie.

Yeah. I was like, I had no idea. But you would be, you would have been like the last one. Yeah. So to hear you get to this point, like that's really sad. And I do think it has to do with the weather. Yes. And the fact that like there is another lockdown like looming don't say it also every

time I say like how long we've been in quarantine I was just like I'm like it's been 12 years it's been 30 years no totally like I keep like exaggerating you know like now that it's November 1st it's nine months I don't know if that's true but that's how it goes in my head my living room also still has a fire stick because I never sit in there and I don't give a shit about it. So I just don't really, I can't really hang out in there until I get another Apple TV. It's like so toxic with the fire stick. Oh, so toxic. And like the delayed remote, it's just like, it's living in another century. Like my bedroom is a 21st century Xenon and my living room is like truly colonial times. Damn. Well, that's another thing you could do to turn your phone upside down. I think phone maybe I should like redecorate

okay like because we've all been living in our houses for so long and everyone on TikTok is doing like DIY like new furniture and I think that like I need to redecorate I think that would be like fun yeah I mean I'm moving which is why I'm not in the same boat as you otherwise I would be like what can I do I'm gonna paint my walls but since I'm moving soon I I'm looking forward to like a literal change of scenery see I think that's I'm just that's why you're saying you want to move and Olivia just moved you're moving like I'm jealous of like everyone moving and like I'm still staying in my bed yeah but you also have a great apartment and I love my apartment I think if I moved like it would be so hasty it would be the extremely hasty move and I would regret it yeah I think you would come to come to regret it as well. Okay. So I'll just like,

I'll spruce it up. Yeah. I think we could do some really fun stuff. You guys like spam her with like ideas. I'm thinking maybe like of a wallpaper moment. Love it. Is that crazy? No,

I think that's so exciting. What kind of wall? Kind of like this, but like also I love the whole vibe of like one wall having wallpaper and like the rest being white, you know? Do it. Okay. I love that. Okay. Jackie approves. I and like the rest being white, you know? Do it. Okay.

I love that. Okay. Jackie approves. I think that's so exciting. You know who else would enjoy that? The little man. I mean, he's the big man now because I have a little man at home and now seeing him come in here, he's like a lion.

He's a Labrador, like a huge fucking golden retriever. A hundred percent. Um, so now do you think? So now I do think it's time now that I got that all off my chest, it is time for the Fast Five Stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast. And I'm thrilled, humbled, and honored. T-H-H.

Thrilled, humbled, and honored to let everyone know that today's episode is brought to you by probably, I'm going to say it, my favorite sponsor, TheraBreath. Oh, it's winning. I mean, we literally keep a pack of their gum right behind our little flower pot, if you're watching on YouTube, because it is like a, their whole mission is to just help get rid of bad breath. And as someone who not only suffers from toxic breath, but also has a very special nose and

can smell it on other people before other people can smell it, it's really interesting that I have these powers. I'm so living for the power of TheraBreath, the world's fastest growing oral healthcare solution because it really works. Their products are just effective. They're clean and ethical too. All of their products, so they make mouthwash, mints, gum. I've been using all of them. I bring them all home. I mean, we have a ton at the studio, but I brought them all home because Ben also suffers from the breath. They're all kosher, vegan, and gluten-free, and we keep a kosher household, which is fabulous. None of their oral rinses are tested on animals, so Theo approves, and they're all made in the USA with

the most ethically sourced ingredients. All TheraBreath products are alcohol-free, so the mouthwash has no burn, and none of the products contain artificial flavors or colors. So they are able to help fresh breath. They're able to help bleeding gums and gingivitis. They help anti-activity and teeth straightening and improvement. And they help dry mouth, which I also am a sufferer of dry mouth. And there's truly nothing worse than licking your lips 400 times a day. And TheraBreath just helps with it all. They're sold everywhere at Target, Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid. So wherever you're listening from, you should be able to get some TheraBreath.

And you can find their products on Amazon, where they have close to 40,000 reviews, and a majority of them are five-star ratings. Can't relate. TheraBreath is a social media giant, and they've been dubbed the TikTok mouthwash because they've gone viral multiple times and generated over 30 million views on their tagged videos. So if you're looking to just take care of your breath and maybe your partner's breath, it's holiday season, maybe subtly give the gift of TheraBreath.

Like, my breath makes me sick sometimes. Me too. Nauseous. First story, Halloween 2020, the best celeb costumes. Let's go through the biggest and the best. I, and then we'll talk about our favorites. I mean, my winner was The Weeknd as the Nutty Professor. Just absolutely brilliant. Amazing. Also, Kelsey Ballerini as a Karen. Karen

Ballerini. Yes, she made a video that was like so cute and funny with like real comedic chops. Yeah. One of my favorites. Okay. Like really made me laugh. But we have Kylie as a King Cobra Snake. It's like a full Mugler outfit. Yeah. See, Kylie's one of the girls who just goes for an arbitrary costume, looking the most sexy as she can, and I thought she looked great. But my favorites are always going to be something a little bit more pop culture oriented. Topical. Topical, or just more specific than a snake. Yeah, she was also the Power Rangers with her group of friends.

Cute. Very cute. Do you still think she's pregnant? Yes. Oh, wow, okay. And I'm honestly more convinced than ever, because people keep sending me, like she did the James Charles video. Do you still think she's pregnant? Yes. Oh, wow. Okay. And I'm honestly more convinced than ever because people keep sending me like she did the James Charles video. They're like, she's drinking. And it's like, how do you know that? First of all, and people on

social media are always like pretending not to be pregnant and like drinking alcohol to like trick everyone. So I'm just, I'm more convinced than ever. Just, just know I haven't let up on my conspiracy theory. Oh, wow. Okay, cool. Haley Bieber dressed as a Nurse Ratched. You've seen the show on Netflix. Oh, Ratched. Ratched. Yeah, she did a great job. Yeah, no, but it's not that popular of a show. Right. I agree. That'd be like dressing up as Beth Harmon right now. Yeah. It's just like it's a little too niche.

It's a little too soon. Kim Kardashian dressed as Carole Baskin, and Food God was Joe Exotic, and the babies were tigers. And I'm not going to lie. I thought it was a little disappointing of a costume. Of course. By the way, they did it very well. A lot of people did it. Tana Mongeau and Jake Paul also did it. Honestly, they did a good job too. And I forgot to say, when people were guessing our costumes,

everyone thought we were going to be Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin. And honestly, not to be mean, but that idea lacks so much originality and creativity. The most basic costume idea of 2020. There's nothing wrong with it but it's like what I think everyone would think of first. Right. It's just too basic and too like easy. Too many people guessed it. So like for Kim who goes all out

every year like when she was Selena and then Sunny and Cher. Legally blonde. Yeah. I was just like really? Like this is it? Okay. Like it was just like meh. Kendall dressed as like Pamela Anderson. From like an iconic photo shoot. Which I wasn't familiar with but I thought the look was amazing. The brows.. Kendall dressed as, like, Pamela Anderson. From, like, an iconic photo shoot. Which I wasn't familiar with, but I thought the look was amazing. The brows.

The brows. She should, like, keep them. She went all out with the brows. I thought she looked great. I mean, she is not having a good week, weekend, because she is under some fire from people on social media for throwing up. She had a, is it her birthday? Yeah, it's her birthday.

Birthday, Halloween party, like, about 100 people. And, like, the, I guess they had passed around flyers at the party saying like please don't post on social media like take all the pictures you want but don't post and like the party was posted everywhere because it was like star studded the weekend was there justin bieber was there all of her sisters were there kylie was the one like posting the most and like kendall was posing for all these pictures so it was like confusing like did you want people not to be on social media or did you yeah janet smith was also there and he's um getting a lot of shit because people think he dressed as a covid patient but it turned out i read somewhere that he was dressed as uh someone's character from this new movie tenant

tenant oh i don't know i don't know um also sweetie was there she looked amazing oh my god she fucking killed did you see also sweetie two nights ago dressed up as rupaul just for a photo shoot yes yes oh my God, she looked amazing. Amazing. Also, Christine Quinn dressed as Christina Aguilera. That's always an amazing costume when it's done well. Dirty. The dirty era.

And I thought she hit it out of the park. Me too. Christina Aguilera herself dressed as an alien. Cute. Arbitrary. Yeah, arbitrary. Christian Siriano dressed as Sia. Really, really good.

I love when celebrities dress as other celebrities like sierra dressed as cardi b um and she recreated like her iconic uh album cover and she dresses two other artists who i can't remember right now but lil nas dressed as um nikki minaj so good so good see a lot a lot of celebrities pretty much just like dressed up and did photo shoots and like didn't go anywhere that's what like lil nas did and that's what sierra did or if they went somewhere like we're just not privy to it right right right um and then also or they like took their kids trick-or-treating or whatever speaking of Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade were um s'mores so cute so cute and Gabrielle Union um did like a

whole collage on her Instagram I have to say following Gabrielle Union on Instagram is like I can't recommend it enough it's just it's so like her content is so diverse. Like it's bring it on. And it's, it's just like a million things. And she did a collage of like all the girls who dressed up as bring it on. I'm like, how much it means to her that like this movie still means so much to people. And she dressed up as the Clovers last year. And it's just, it's the best. Like the fact that she embraces like her Clovers um role so proudly is like the best thing ever wow that's really sweet um so those were some of my highlights anyone else that you saw that you wanted to share who do you think was best dressed JLo and A-Rod dressed as Madonna

and I think that's who that is it was okay I mean like I said for me I go for like the the concept more than like the sexiness yeah no the concept more than the sexiness. Yeah, the concept plus the execution. Yeah, so really, honestly, The Weeknd won Halloween for me. Yeah, I agree. He was a nutty professor. And we used to love those movies. And he looked just like Eddie Murphy.

And it was such a unique idea. I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that. And I love a pop culture moment. So all of those things wrapped up. I think he was my winner. What about you? I, I, I'm going to agree with you. Execution plus idea, A plus. Yeah. And he looked great. Like the pictures were good. And then he was like walking around like his party, like dressed as the nutty professor. It was hilarious. Really good stuff. I'm glad everyone had fun with it. And had a, had a good safe time.

Happy Halloween, everyone. Yes. It's just like such a bummer Halloween was on a Saturday. That was like the meme of 2020. Yeah. Halloween's going to be on a Saturday night. Like all the other holidays are like on the perfect days and like we couldn't even celebrate.

Yeah. Well, I feel like everyone made the most of their situations because to be honest, like staying at home with a few friends, like that is not my idea of a bad time. Like that's fabulous. Me neither. the most may do of their situations. Because to be honest, like staying at home with a few friends, like that is not my idea of a bad time. Like that's fabulous.

Me neither. Like, and for me, like getting dressed up and then taking like some cute pictures and content. And then like the Shapiros came over like such a great night. Happy Halloween to me. And I feel like the people who like really like missed out the most are like kids in college. Cause like,

that's so fun when you're in college. Um, so like that sucks to them. Yeah. Okay. Next story. Speaking of ourlloween costumes this is actually really crazy not confirmed but the royal biographer says that queen elizabeth will pass the throne to charles next year the eldest son of queen elizabeth would ascend to the throne in just six months if his mother steps down on her next birthday as the royal biographer predicts he said i still

firmly believe that when the queen becomes 95 that she will step down. Elizabeth marks another year on April 21st. She was all of 27 when she was crowned in 1952 on the death of her father. Charles turned 72 in two weeks. First of all, like what a legacy like for Queen Elizabeth. She was queen when she was 27. Longest reigning monarch. How old is she now? 94. Wow and do most monarchs give up the throne or just die? Die. Got it and she would intentionally give it up? Yeah she would like retire. This is what he's predicting. This is what he's predicting and he's the royal biographer so I guess his prediction holds some weight. Yeah I mean it's just also crazy to me that Prince Charles would become king when he's 72. It's like, you're so old.

Like, what's the point? Yeah. And I totally am like a supporter of them just like skipping him because he seems like such a loser. But I guess that's not how it works over in London. But I don't know something about this. Like the queen, she has done her duty. Like she is more than entitled

to like resigning and like retiring and enjoying the rest of her life but she's so good at it like I feel like we should get as many years of QE as we can I agree and so I'm gonna go on the record and say I don't think this is gonna happen me neither I think she will serve out her reign she's an amazing monarch. She's an institution. Why? Just because she turns a certain number, does that mean that she should or shouldn't be the queen?

Yeah, and also, I feel like what I gather from the crown is that her priority is always protecting the crown, protecting the monarchy. And I think she knows that the best way to do that is to if charles is going to be king like give him the least amount of time that he possibly can and as long as she's queen like the crown is safe and like she's the best at it so like she knows like low key she has to keep herself in the throne for as long as possible yeah i totally agree um i i mean i hope this isn't true and i want to i'm going to put it out there that i don't think this

is going to happen especially maybe maybe that was don't think this is going to happen. Especially maybe, maybe that was going to happen at one point in time, but like with this year, like she just lost out on a year of being Queenie. Like she needs another year. And the royal family has had so much like tabloid drama in the last year, two years, that I feel like she's looking for some stability. And that's not going to come from Charles. I'm sorry. And another shakeup isn't what they need right right now they need a few good quiet years I agree and I think the way we do that is by QE just staying on and then William me did you see Gary

Janetti posted his show Prince George had like he posted Princess Charlotte is voiced by Sophie Turner. Yes. I haven't seen, did the show come out yet? No, I don't think so. Okay. Cause I'm so looking forward to it and I pay for HBO Max, but I haven't seen it yet. I love the casting being Sophie Turner for Charlotte. It's so good.

So good. Excellent. Five stars to whosoever idea that was. Yeah. Agreed. And Gary is the voice of George. Yes. Got it. Okay. Very exciting. Very. We need to keep tabs on when that was. Yeah. Agreed. And Gary is the voice of George. Yes. Got it. Okay. Very exciting. I need to keep tabs on when that's coming out. Speaking of keeping tabs, the crown comes out November 15th. Exciting day after Charles's birthday. Happy birthday. Oh, that's so soon.

It's already November. Oh, chilling, chilling. My birthday's this week. Wow. I haven't mentioned it yet. You haven't. I know. I even did this little birthday manicure for myself. Um, so that's exciting. Can you believe that? How old are you turning? I'm, I'm turning 21. I'm excited to have my first sip of alcohol. Um, can you believe that my, my birthday is in November and it's still going to be like a quarantine birthday? No, I know. And we were like literally thinking like, okay, Ben's was in April, probably be quarantined, but mine in July would never be. And like, here we are. So that's exciting. Yeah. So you're going to tell us how old you're turning in? Sure. I mean, I'm not ashamed of my age. I'm going to be 28. Oh, I thought you were going to be 29. That's fine.

Okay. Thanks. You're totally fine. Okay. Thanks. Next story. Some little young love news. Noah Centennial and Stass, Stassie baby, hold hands while celebrating Halloween together. There have been rumors about them for a while. There were rumors that they got married and like eloped in Vegas and then I never heard any follow-up to that. Yeah, but they're confirming that they are together. They stepped out. Stas, dressed as Chucky, held his hand as they

walked into a party together. He appeared to be dressed up as one of her victims with a bloody slash across his t-shirt. Oh, that's very original. Like, so, like, it's so, I saw a TikTok about this because I redownloaded a TikTok to make my Moyra video, and it's, like, the amount of effort and, like, glamour that women put into their Halloween costumes.

It's, like, the men, you are unworthy. Just, like, showing up in a jersey. Yeah. It ain't right. It ain't right, but these two are together and it's cute. I'm here for it. Well, so I don't even remember formally dealing with his breakup with Alexis Wren. I feel like maybe that just like fizzled out. Yeah. We didn't formally deal with it at all. There was no formal statement or like formality, formal formalness. If there was, it wasn't formal

enough for like us to report to formally report on it in a formal sort of way. Right. And that formality is so necessary during these unprecedented times but it seems as though these two are formally announcing the yeah together that's cute no i actually think this is a good like young hollywood couple yeah i think it's and like noah centennial like being on you know in in in a close group of friends with kylie like that works for me yeah and like it's like reality tv young hollywood and like why movies young hollywood like we're all hanging out how do you pronounce his last name Yeah, and it's like reality TV, Young Hollywood, and YA movies, Young Hollywood. We're all hanging out. How do you pronounce his last name?

Noah Centineo, even though I know it's Centineo. Centineo, but I think I like Noah Centineo. Me too. It works for me. That's how I grew up. Not grew up, like the last two years, but that's how I believed it was, and that's how a child would be. Yeah.

No, I feel you. So happy for these cuties. Yeah, that's a cute couple. I actually really like that. Very good looking, I feel you. So happy for these cuties. Yeah, that's a cute couple. I actually really like that. Like very good looking. Very good looking. Well, speaking of half of a cute couple, Megan Fox claims ex Brian Austin Green is so intoxicated with portraying her as an absent mother. This is shook worthy. Megan Fox took to the comments section of her ex Brian Austin Green's Halloween social media post to call him out about publicly sharing pictures of their child.

She said she took notice of his post that featured their youngest son. She said, why does Journey have to be in this picture? It's not hard to crop them out or choose photos that they aren't in. I had a great Halloween with them yesterday and yet notice how absent they are from my social media. I know you love your kids, but I don't know why you can't stop using them to posture via Instagram. You're so intoxicated with feeding the pervasive narrative that I'm an absent mother and you

are the perennial eternally dedicated dad of the year. You have them half the time. Congratulations. You are truly a remarkable human. Why do you need the internet to echo back to you what should be inexhaustibly evident in the way your children love you? Okay. I just have to say I'm so team Megan Fox here because first of all, people all over social media, especially with Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly's relationship are like, where are your kids?

It's like she takes one picture with her boyfriend and everyone's like, oh, you're never with your kids. And it's like this narrative that's just been created about her. And I'm sure he's aware of it. And I know she's aware of it because it has to be hurtful for people

to just be like saying shit like that, even though they have no clue what actually goes on in her life. And yes, in a lot of ways, like he definitely feeds into it. And there's so much we don't know. And he definitely and if they have 50 50 custody, like she's hanging out with her boyfriend, like, OK, the kids are with him. Like, it's not a big deal. Yeah.

Plenty of people. Because you post something on social media like doesn't mean jack shit. Yeah. No, it's so frustrating and it must be really frustrating for her. And so I know a lot of people were like, is this the place to air your dirty laundry? But it's like, this is a part of being a celebrity.

And I'm sure Megan Fox over the last couple of months has gotten like so many like DMS and comments and like just negativity about the fact that like it appears like she's not with her children when it's like, fuck off. They have a dad. First of all, second of all, leave her alone.

Like she's a mom. She knows what she's doing. Fuck off. Yeah. And instead of posting in his comments what you want her, what she could have done is, like, taken to her Instagram and posted pictures of the kids. Like, why would she use kids as pawns in this situation? And just instead, like, just publicly say to him. We know what you're doing.

We know what you're doing. I don't know. I kind of lived for this. I'm not going to lie. I didn't, I didn't never really thought that, about this, like, because I don't follow either of them. So like, it's not on my radar, but I have mad respect for her doing this. And I loved what she said. And I, and I think that actually, you know what? Haters going to motherfucking hate. Yeah. I was watching this documentary, American murder, and it's like the craziest, saddest, most tragic, senseless story. and somehow on social media like this woman and her

two girls were murdered by their husband and on social media like they were talking shit about the woman what like after she had died like based on stuff she had posted on her facebook and stuff oh my god i can't i was in shock that's crazy crazy so just when you think like there's nothing negative someone could say about something it's like no no they're there and they'll say of course no people are the fucking worse and like especially when it comes to parenting like every like i hate to use the word karen because it's like so overused but like that's exactly what they are like why don't you focus and fix your hair and stop worrying about other people's lives okay yeah i just can't with everyone like i've gotten so like triggered by people like not even on my comment section but like on other

people's comments like over the weekend um i guess Brittany Cartwright dressed up as the Grinch and she looks so cute she's like pregnant and he had that like belly belly and it was such a cute original costume and I guess she I guess she got like so much hate for her body and like she's fucking pregnant and body shaming yeah and like that she didn't look right for 16 weeks and she like had to put up this whole thing on her Instagram history and like i got so mad on her behalf i like was literally writing her message in all caps i'm just like so sensitive now it's like if somebody literally comments like all right maybe it's not the nicest but it's like you didn't do this like like it's not i'm so i'm like what the fuck did you just say like we all collectively we need to start minding our own

goddamn business like it is so imperative to our health, our safety, and the safety of our country that everybody just minds their own goddamn business. It's so important. And honestly, if you cannot mind your own business, which I understand some people cannot, you must throw your phone in a river and just move to an island because you're undeserving of having a cell phone and access to social media. I think that's so on point. It's so on point.

We have reached peak public shaming. Yep. And we've got to come back down. Having a cell phone and access to social media. I think that's so on point. It's so on point. We have reached peak public shaming. Yep. And we've got to come back down. We just like, I can't say it in any other words, like we have got to start minding our own business. Yeah. Got. Got to.

Unless you have something nice to say, you know. But you don't. But you don't. You don't. So fuck off. Yeah. Just shut the fuck up already. My God, everyone's so tired of hearing you. Well, fifth and final story, I think is some news that will cheer you up.

Oh. Because Taylor Swift fans, including Patti Asher, are celebrating as the singer is now free to re-record her original music. No, it's like November 1st rolls around. Everyone's like, yeah, it's holiday season. And like November 1st rolls around for me. And the Swifties are like. Re-recording season.

Beginning November 1st, Taylor Swift can now legally re-record new versions of her first five albums, which Scooter Braun gained ownership of last year following his $300 million deal with Big Machine Label Group. After news of the acquisition broke in June 2019, Swift received support when she publicly called him out and Scott Borchetta. However, it was said that she was allowed to re-record her music in November 2020, and her fans are celebrating accordingly on social media and even got Taylor's free to begin trending on Twitter. No, it's so fabulous. Like, one, because I'm happy for Taylor and, like, her financials. Like, she'll be able to, like, re-record.

But for me, it's, like, so many of my favorite, favorite, favorite Taylor Swift songs are, like, super early songs before she was really big. And, like, they're kind of old now, like 15 years. And it's, like, the production is, like, maybe not as, you know, keeping up with the times. And for me, I'm just, like, really looking. And she does so many different renditions. Like, some of my favorite songs, like, Out of the Woods, when it first came out, I'm, like, oh, my God, love know, keeping up with the times. And for me, I'm just like really look, and she does so many different renditions. Like some of my favorite songs, like out of the woods, when it first came out, I'm like, oh my God, love you Taylor. But like this song is like actually trash. And then she like re, um, structured it. And she did this tour version that like, I ascend to heaven when

I hear it. Like, it's so powerful. And first of all, that's just the power of Taylor Swift. And second of all, like that version is so good and it's never been properly recorded. Like I would love to hear that version. I would love to hear like a whole, um, version of her, uh, her Holy ground, uh, not remix, but she does like a new version of it. And it's just so different. And like, there's her songs are just so like simple that like they can be made into anything. Cause they're all just written on a guitar. Then they're made into like a pop song. They're made into a country song. They're made into a country song they're made into a dance song so like there's just so many possibilities and like as a swifty i'm just i'm truly overjoyed it's the season of joy so do you think she's gonna re-record all five or choose like the greatest

from the five and put together like a reimagined right early era album it seems like it would be easier for her to do like a greatest hits because like some of the songs like i mean they're all amazing but some of them just aren't as popular i would love for her to do like a greatest hits. Cause like some of the songs, like, I mean, they're all amazing, but some of them are just aren't as popular. I would love for her to do like album by album rerecord. Cause then we get like five new albums, but I do think it would make more sense for her time, even though we have so much time these days.

Like, yeah. But if she did like a 20 song greatest hits, like from her first five albums, like the most popular, the most iconic, like reimagined, reimagined.

And then also it's like so many of her songs that like, her fans love so much like all too well is like a fan favorite she doesn't own that master and i feel like since she's lost her masters she hasn't been playing it that much because she doesn't want to give money to the people who she feels stole from her so there's also so many iconic songs that don't need to be reimagined but need to be re-recorded so she can start playing them again and she can own them. Yeah. I agree with that. So just like, like her number ones, like Love Story, you know? Right. No, it's so sad.

Like Blank Space. Like those are the songs that like made her career. And now it's like. But Blank Space isn't one of the first five, is it? Yeah. Shake it off. Yeah. I mean, what's it?

1989. No, it went. She only started. She only owns Lover and Folklore. No, but her first one was Taylor Swift. Then Fearless, Speak Now, Red. I guess it's six albums. Sorry, it's six. Okay. It's Taylor Swift debut,

Fearless. It's all of the other albums. It's not just some of them? It's everything except for Lover and Folklore. No, Reputation was not Scott Borchetta? She can't do it, though. It's not ready yet. It's just the first five. Got it. Okay, it's not ready yet. Is 1989 TS5? Yes. Okay, okay it's not ready yet is 1989 ts5

yes okay so that's it 1989 is truly like if you're ever looking like oh you realize like you hated taylor swift just because it's like internalized misogyny and like you just think like you think it was cool because you were like like a follower and now you're like oh it's not cool to like to hate taylor swift it's not a personality trait and like you're on this journey i really implore you to take a dive into 1989 i think it's one of the best pop albums of all time. It's so brilliant. And the deluxe songs are like even better. It's just,

and then watch the concert DVD. It's just spectacular. Ooh, that's a treat. I watched it actually last week in celebration today. I'll do a Peloton scenic ride with my Taylor Swift, best of Taylor. Oh,

that sounds so nice. Yeah. It's a really, it's on my Spotify, the playlist. It's just like some of her, my, all of Taylor playlist on Shuffles. Yeah. It's a really, it's on my Spotify, the playlist. It's just like some of her, my, all of her best songs, like no skips and I'll just do a scenic ride to it. And I let the song dictate my pace. It's so exciting. Like I feel like music's not on Peloton. Really? Yeah. Oh, also I never shared with this group, but I actually hit my 100th Peloton ride, which I know like you don't really care about,

this group, but I actually hit my 100th Peloton ride, which I know like you don't really care about, but I just think it's an interesting factoid about coronavirus. I got my Peloton two weeks into quarantine. So I've done a hundred cycling rides. I think I've done like 30 strength rides, but it's crazy. And I get a free t-shirt. So that's exciting. Wow. That is exciting. And your Peloton toaster use the hashtag Pella toasters. So when we're all riding, we can see each other. I heard we were trending. I heard we were trending. We were trending. a Peloton toaster, use the hashtag Pelotoasters so when we're all riding, we can see each other. I heard we were trending. I heard we were trending. We were trending.

The Peloton community is wild. It's strong. It's strong. But yeah, so it's just like an amazing time to be a Taylor Swift fan. And again, I can't recommend enough that you drop the internalized misogyny and just figure out where to start. Where to start. Because there's so much.

And now there's about to be more. So it's like, are we getting one big album? Are we getting five new ones? I don't fucking know. I'm team, I don't know, this isn't a prediction, it's just like my personal preference. I'm team one big one. Me too. I just think it's like a lot of work for her when at the end of the day there's probably,

what do you think is the most amount of songs you could put on an album? Is there like a limit? No, not with streaming. Right, so I would do like a 25 album song, 25 song album. But she likes to put out the albums. So I'm sure on a CD, there might be a limit. Do you think she's like already started? Yes, that's what I was going to say.

Like, yes, it would take time, but I'm sure she's been, like she has all of these. She probably wouldn't even need to sit in a booth and just has all these other versions of songs. Yeah, and she has like all, she definitely has like a full blown studio. Where do you think she's quarantined? She has so many houses. If you were her, where would you be? Nashville. No, she has like all, she definitely has like a full blown studio. Where do you think she's quarantined? She has so many houses. If you were her, where would you be? Nashville. No, she has a condo.

Oh, no. Never mind. I think. Maybe she has a house too, but she also has like a huge ass condo. I think that would be in Rhode Island. Oh, yeah. She also has an amazing house in LA. I would not be in New York, even though she has a sickening house in New York.

And I feel like that's like her, maybe her favorite home. Do you think she has a studio in her New York house no because then she'd run into these problems right she got a little way away on her new song but like if I could think of like the perfect place to be quarantined like it would be Rhode Island yeah it's so secluded she loves that house and it's powerful like yeah we went there just to see what it was all about and it was worth it. We lived 14 days for three. Yeah. Newport, even though she's not in Newport, she's in Watch something.

It's so... So, Sunny, I actually wore this sweater there. It has some Rhode Island air on it. Yeah, I feel like if I needed to write a powerful ballad, I would just drive up the coast, sit at the beach, and it would just all come to me. Would you ride up on the afternoon train? Yeah. And it's sunny? And I would fly in all my bitch pack friends from the city. That's me, bitch. Hey. Where are we going? All right. So those were the past five stories. And I definitely feel as though you

needed to know them. You did. It was a big weekend like for celebs doing their celeb thangs. And now you know what they were up to. Let's talk about TV recap. I really need to talk about The Queen's Gambit. Like I, it was only seven episodes and I feel like I could have watched it in a day but I was enjoying it so much like I limited myself to like one or two episodes over the course of a week me too we kept on saying it was like a treat just like sit down and treat myself and it really ended up being much more different than I thought it would be because at first I was like loving Beth and then towards the end I'm like you bitch like yeah you idiot like so gifted and like just kept making fucking bad choices like and she really lost me as like a fan when mr scheibel died which was so sad and we found out

that she never paid him back the ten dollars i i didn't even pick up on that i don't know how i missed it until you told me that she never paid him back and i just assumed that she did and like i'm so upset by that and i'm also so upset that like she never went back while he was alive just to be like, thank you. Thank you for the $10. Thank you for teaching me chess. And like, it was clear like when you saw that collage that he was so proud of her and like so invested in her career.

Honestly, like I could cry. Like it was so sad. Like when she pulled up to that school and there was that whole corkboard and not even she'd have to go back and visit him. She never even fucking called him. She wrote him once when she needed the five dollars to enter the thing she never paid him back and then she never even turned back to say thank you for the money thank you for teaching me like it's so upsetting and i know it's a fictional story because beth harman was not a real player i looked it up yeah but like i'm still mad because mr

schiebel deserved more yeah and he was a beth har time. And even if she didn't want to say thank you or pay him back, he deserved to see her thriving. It's so upsetting. And she weaseled her way. And they think that giving him a mention in the press posthumously is going to make up for all the shit. No, and I was really down on Beth. But then when Jolene showed up and saved her,

I was so grateful because I missed Jolene from the orphanage. And she had her life together, unlike Beth. And she loaned her the money, even though she'd been saving up for law school, which really upset me. Really upset me. For years, Beth was just making money, spending it on all of these clothes. Clothes, redesigning the house, buying a house. Some of the clothes, yes, they were investments. That white coat at the end, sickening the house down. I can't and I shan't but like she was literally just like farting money for so many years and then the only way and she literally denied the Christian right that's the thing just because she couldn't declare her but she's fine to take it from a friend who's been working so hard to save up for something that's so important to her yeah and we know that since she won in Moscow that she will be paying

yeah of course hopefully well she didn't pay Mr. Scheibel back ten dollars how do we know she's gonna pay Jolene back three thousand dollars right But it just was like really upsetting that that's how she had to get the money. Yeah. I wanted the story to be real so badly because now it's just like, okay, what was the point? But I just loved learning about the world of chess. Yeah. It was really interesting. We actually know how to play chess.

So like I felt like I had a leg up on watching it because I understood what they were saying. But to me, it's like you're just like when we used to play it was just like you're moving pieces hoping for it to be over no and I think that like when you become like a grandmaster it's like when you were a kid like you you totally like get like the whole like we used to play as kids we used to take lessons as kids and like I never really like cared or like got the point yeah and I never saw like the big picture not smart were just like not smart enough. Right. And so like I feel like when she learned and she like literally learned how to play

just like by watching and then like looking up and taking drugs and like, oh my God. The drugs. The scene where she broke into the infirmary in the school and was like shoving those green pills. That was insane.

Insane. They were drugging the campers. At first when I turned it on, I was like, what the fuck? What is going on? Like they're drugging campers. This is too much for me. And I didn't really know what the show was going to be about and it was going to be

like you know the whole trajectory of her I guess it started in Paris which another major disappointment where she completely botches oh the match against Borgov when she's in Paris because like she goes hung over drink hung over and that girl totally sabotaged her. Cleo. That was just really disappointing. Yeah, and the other thing that really bothered me is that she was kind of just a shitty friend to everyone. And all these people like Henry and Billy, they all looked out for her. The chess community in Kentucky,

they just, towns, they just cared about her even though she was the worst fucking friend, never answered the phone or opened the door. And then like the morning of her competition, like she wakes up and they're all together on the phone giving her all the plays. And it's like you didn't deserve that type of friendship from those people because you were a horrible friend to them. Yes. But in her defense, like the trauma that she had gone through in her life. Yes.

You know, isn't conducive for her to being a team player. Yes. And so when they did all show up for her and all of those guys got together like I think she realized in this moment oh I do have a family yeah no I know oh speaking of family also her mom heard the one her adopted mom was just a hero like a hero I was worried at first and I said on the show I was like hopefully she doesn't steal from her but eventually like they she was so weird at first like with the piano and we're like is she a good person like is she looking out for beth's best interest took her to the store to shop and just

like wouldn't let her buy the chess thing yeah it was bizarre but then she turned into a true supporter a great team and it was nice that beth had someone in her corner yeah and and then when she passed away it was just devastating it was really sad it was a really good show if you guys haven't watched it definitely watch it it's there's nothing not to like and the fashion oh my god sickening so so good it gets better every episode like as beth becomes more herself and like earns more money and like her the last scene her outfit like my i my jaw hit the floor oh and then there was this just wonderful message at the end that it was like, we're all just people, and we all just love chess, and yes, you live in Russia, but, like, we're all,

because this was, like, at a, the 60s, it was, like, heightened political times between Russia and America, and she had to go with a security guard, and she couldn't go anywhere without the security guard, and then she just walks through the park, and all these guys just love chess, and they love her, and it was like, we're all just people, you know? It was beautiful. It was a great message of unity during these

divisive times yes it was really really good really well done show that actress is spectacular i don't know do you ever see the movie thoroughbreds no she was in it i looked her up after because i was like who is this fabulous girl well billy the friend is from game of thrones and he's the voice of phineas and ferb ferb and he is the little kid from love actually the one who was like the cutest kid remember how last week i made an announcement on the show that i'm the girl who's never seen the big lebowski yeah i am also the girl who's never seen love actually which is crazy yeah and i actually think you would like it no i know but at this point i just like that it's like a thing about me that i've never seen it and i'm like i'm so invested in pop culture. Like I know everything

about it, but like, I'm just too good for love actually, you know? Yeah. And I feel like for you, it makes you feel young. Cause it's kind of like an old movie. You are just so smart. Yeah. You're like, I'm too young to have seen that. You know, I was just like a baby. Um, so yes, Queen's Gambit, I would give it five out of five, like just highly recommend during these unprecedented times. You need something that's going to take you to another world. Well done. It's all of those things. Yeah.

And then Real Housewives of Potomac was on last night. And I just, you know, really, I boarded the ship last week, and now we have set sail because I'm so in love with Karen Huger. And after the whole Wendy slithering thing, like, she has just got me as a lifelong fan. And when Wendy sat her down

and was, like, ready to tear her a new one about how she came for her education, I was like, ooh, this is a tough corner, like, that Karen's backed into, and then Karen just popped off. I literally was in my bed like, go, Karen. Well, there were two things going on this episode. One, it's that Giselle is the shadiest bitch alive.

Like, first of all, I'm done. Because you want to know why? She was being shady when she told Wendy this episode one it's that giselle is the shadiest bitch alive like i'm done i'm done because you want to know why she was being shady when she told wendy that karen called her a floozy freelancer which she didn't all she said was that she was a freelance correspondent for cnn that's all she said so she was stirring the pot there then she was stirring the pot going to karen saying wendy said that you wanted your money back from ray when they replayed that clip she was drunk and she was making a joke about wanting the money back okay that. That was not serious. And then when they had Karen come to tea and Giselle was like, you know, I heard this from Wendy and I want to be there for Karen. It's

clearly weighing on her. Like I want to be a friend to her. So they sit down and have that conversation. And Karen then says about the conversation with Wendy and Giselle immediately goes to Wendy and like reenacts everything that Karen said. And it's like, what happened to wanting to be a friend to her? Part of being a friend is just like, like absorbing information and conversations and not running and telling everyone. And then also with her like mean joke to Robin about her hat company being called embezzled when like she's going through this financial crisis.

Like that was so obviously just shady. And I live for the shadiness, but you can't play every fucking side. Like you have to choose a few. Not one. But like she was just being so obviously like a pot stirrer. And she's really making like a fight between two powerful women. And where they had some tension in the beginning, but it could have been resolved. Now it's like so much worse.

Literally because of Giselle. For sure. And at the end of the episode when Karen was like, yeah, I have this thing with Wendy, whatever. But I'm looking at you, Giselle. Like I know that it's the way that you said looking at you Giselle like I like I know that it's the way that you said it to her I was like thank you like this isn't sure her and Wendy for looking beyond yeah her and Wendy need to like just figure this small thing out but the bigger issue is that no one can trust Giselle not only will she tell everyone everything you say about

anyone else she will do it with a spin that makes it even more negative and just causing strife in the group and and i i just am not interested in that like yeah i agree it's just petty and it it's not real drama and yeah part of being a great cast member is like being a good friend to someone and like just being a trustworthy person and also being on a a side whether it's the right side or the wrong side but just to like be in the middle and just make everyone around you like feel like they are always going to have to defend themselves. Like why would anyone want to go to lunch with you? But like dead ass, like Karen imitating and then all the women getting in the train.

Hilarious. No, but Karen turned that situation. That is why she is an icon. Like she literally got backed into a corner and managed to turn the entire situation where everybody is doing like the sleuth out the door. But okay. I have a really big problem with Wendy because I feel really conflicted because when we're in her home scenes and like, she's talking to her kids and her kids are like, integrity is doing the right thing when no one's looking. I'm like, oh my God, she's literally the most

amazing mom. Like it was just, I'm like, these kids are in such good hands. And then in her professional life, I'm like, oh my God, this woman's so accomplished for degrees and CNN and MSNBC. And you're like yes this doctor this is what we need and then when she gets with the women she's so irrational and she's always wrong like i'm always disagreeing with her always wrong and sorry it's an amazing thing to have four degrees and it's such an accomplishment but it can't be your answer for everything agreed and i wouldn't have thought that but they showed that flashback where in every fight that she's been in she she throws out four degrees. It's Dr. Wendy, address me properly. You don't get four degrees so that you can come on Real Housewives and let everyone know you had four

degrees at every turn. It's also, it's, it's literally never part of the conversation. In this particular fight, it was because Karen was like saying, you're not a medical doctor, but in most of the fights, like literally it's like, nobody, Wendy, I have four degrees. Like we get it. It's just not applicable here. But it is applicable in other situations, just not here. And it's starting to annoy me. And I like her in every scene when she's not with the other women. Yeah, I don't like her in the group context.

Also because, like, she will always have Candace's back. They came in as friends. It's a crutch. And so, and I'm just, like, completely out on Candace. What was crazy, though, is seeing the scene where Monique, like, files charges against Cand out on Candace. What was crazy though is seeing the scene where Monique like files charges against Candace. And- Candace is so delusional.

The amount- You don't just sue someone and nothing happens and you just win because you think you're right. Right. And like Candace, when she was in her house talking to Chris and she was so bothered by what Monique had done, but also saying that it was like a bad legal move, but like it clearly got under your skin.

The thing is, is that, and what Candace knows is first of all whoever you think is right or wrong now in the legal sense everyone does what they have to do to protect themselves whether nobody wants to go to jail nobody wants to get arrested nobody wants to have this like on their file forever so now it's like every person is lawyered up and when it comes to lawyers and like means to pay lawyers monique has way more means to do that she could fight this longer than Candace because we know that Candace has financial instability because her mom is super rich, but she doesn't always get money from her mom. She doesn't want to take money from her mom.

We've been talking about it for five years, we know. So it's like, now it's like, in a battle of lawyers and money, Monique wins. And to just assume that you're going to sue someone and nothing's going to happen, they're not going to fight back, and you're just going to win because you're not going to fight back and you're just going to win because you think you're right. And because you have post-it notes all over your

house. What an irrational thing to think and to get so mad at someone else for counter suing is a level of delusion that I can't relate to. Like once you take it to like the legal, she took it there first. 100%. Candace filed the charges. She was the one who made it a legal matter. Now you're mad that someone else is protecting themselves and their family like that makes no fucking sense

no sense whatsoever she would be so rational yeah and I'm happy that Monique is standing up for herself especially in light

of the fact when you slow down the footage Candace put her hands on Monique's body not hair first well so Monique then posted

a screenshot of an email from the whole thing where they decided to drop the charges because the Maryland district attorney was like, we've reviewed all the paperwork, the counter, Sue, the Sue, the Bravo footage, Bravo literally had to get footage, and we've decided we're dropping the charges. So it's like the law actually decided that both of you are wrong. Right.

So the group should be- Follow suit. Should follow suit. Yes, I agree. I mean, so also, Monique is not going on the trip. Yeah. I thought she might be because it was Ashley's trip. You know what?

I'm glad because if Monique went on the trip, everything would be about Monique. Monique would be the villain and it would- But now that the women will be together and you're going to take out Monique, who you think is the problem. Toxic. Let's find out who the problem really is. That always happens. Also, one more thing Giselle did really bothered me when Ashley came over to

her house and she was like being such like a baby about breastfeeding it's like you three kids and Ashley is like who look people who are like babies like who cares and your mom you've literally had three kids like let her breastfeed and like stop make her feel weird about it yeah oh you're gonna you're gonna whip it out right now like who fucking cares yeah that was bothering me I'm just I'm just like a little turnt on Giselle no I'm extremely and like I always like even though I've never agreed with her in like group situations I just love her so I was like I don't really care but I I now care because now she's coming for Karen yeah she's coming for Karen she's come for Monique and I I'm with Karen and Monique and I know they're not a team technically but like Karen

Monique and Ashley like are my ride or dies currently. A hundred percent. I actually think that we are in the popular opinion. I hope so. I do. So tough. I actually don't know, actually. Like when I look at Twitter,

that's what I didn't look last night, but I tend to agree. But I don't know. I feel like sometimes podcast listeners don't agree. Yeah. But it was actually a pretty good episode. And of course, next week looks great, which is what we say here every week about the Real Housewives of Potomac. But it was actually a pretty good episode. And of course, next week looks great, which is what we say here every week about The Real Housewives of Potomac. But this was

pretty good. Yeah, pretty good. So the other thing that I watch, American Murder, do you think you're going to watch it? No. It's a documentary that's an hour and a half, which I loved. Oh, just one episode. One episode. And after having watched Wild Wild Country, like I just I'm so here for it. What is so crazy is they usually documentary they have interviews with people you know they do this whole thing they used all footage from um shannon's social media like because she posted so many videos of her life and her daughters like we have literally a whole documentary of like home videos from her facebook um police footage and like news real footage like they didn't have to do any in sit down

interviews and nothing. It's all like there. So ring doorbell footage, like you get the whole picture, neighbors, camera footage, like that's crazy. And like everyone in their own words at the time, not people like, uh, recalling it. So the husband killed his wife and two kids? Yeah, two girls. And why did he do it? So, I mean, there's never a reason why. But I thought this, when I first heard this, I'm like, why? What is his motive?

Wait, did this happen recently? 2018. Was it the woman who was pregnant? Yes. Oh my God, I remember that story. It is so crazy. Oh, maybe I will watch it, actually. You should watch it.

I was very struck by that story. It's extremely well done. There was, like, one part where he, like, explains, he's, like, confessing to his dad what he did and, like, where they are. How did they have that tape? Police, it was in the police room. Oh. Like, he took a lie detector test, and then he asked for, like,

it's all just being recorded. And when he says where the girls are. Okay, wait, you know what? I'm definitely going to watch this now. I just. I'm definitely going to watch it, don'm definitely gonna watch it okay okay what's it called american murder family next door i didn't know i remember that story it was like the biggest news story and it was so shocking yeah it's just a really well done documentary it's a it's a horrible horrible story oh i definitely i'm gonna watch it yeah okay thanks.
