Good morning millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Monday. I hope everyone
had an amazing weekend. This is an exciting day here. It's a Monday. It's raining, but we're not
letting it get us down. No, you guys, today is such an exciting day. Obviously at the Morning
Toast it's always an exciting day and we find some reason to get excited. To feel happy to be alive.
But this morning the first shipments of a vaccine went out out of Michigan there's a video that was
on TikTok that just got me in my feelings like all these trucks leaving the facility the Pfizer
facility like shipping out all the vaccines so that the health care workers can get them
and it's all these different trucking companies like UPS FedEx and then the other trucking
companies yeah the other ones DHL it was just like so heartwarming it's been such a difficult year
and just like to see that the end is near like i can't explain the feeling so uh the video just
got me in my feels and i'm just feeling grateful and excited and optimistic and glory be the god
yeah i mean i'm not gonna get the vaccine till like apr April right no it's it's so I'm not excited
for me it's all on the horizon for us I'm excited for everyone who's been putting their life down
the line this entire time that will be getting a vaccine this week like they have times and dates
no it's so crazy and I'm so excited just like I think like now safely we can start just like
thinking about life returning to normal yeah and like maybe going to a concert next year.
Like at first it was so uncertain because like you really didn't know when the vaccine
would be like in people's arms.
But now it's like they're going to be in people's arms this week and for the next like six to
nine months.
And I just think we can now start seeing a world beyond COVID.
We're not there yet, but we can now safely, cautiously start thinking about it and envisioning
it.
And that is fucking exciting
that's just the sort of news and optimism we needed to end this year and that's why 2020 is
just going to be different because there is hope is in the air 100 and we were saying before like
you know 2021 2021 you know i don't want to get everyone's hopes up because it's yes technically
a different year but things could be just as shitty. But now I'm feeling like I feel like when the clock strikes midnight on December 31st,
like we are going to be a different planet.
Yes, but I also think that yes and no.
There's the optimism in the air, but like for a city like New York,
like now indoor dining is closed, like restaurants are going out of business,
ones that had survived up until this point.
So like it is still sad sad but we have a vision
on the on the horizon hope is all you need and I have hope today yeah no it's it's a good day even
though it's like so rainy oh by the way when it rains in our studio like it looks like it's 8 p.m
but yeah we're recording at the same time as always so just know that 30 in the morning
yeah well I'm feeling really annoying today yeah like nice and sing-songy but also like not singing any good songs. Okay Jackie your
negativity is not gonna get in my way. My way. My way. I want you to sing some good ass songs.
That's what I'm doing yeah. Um no I'm just like I got a lot of sleep over the weekend and I didn't really, like,
I've been drinking so much, like every weekend consistently that Monday morning I'm like,
oh, I have Corona. Like, I just don't feel good because I like didn't really relax on my weekend.
Yeah. And I actually just like had a really balanced weekend and I got a lot of sleep
and spent a lot of time with Theo. And like, it was just, I'm feeling like I should do this more
often. Yep. Except that we did like heavily drink on Saturday. Yeah. But see, like, but it was just, I'm feeling like I should do this more often. Yep, except that we did like heavily drink on Saturday.
Yeah, but see like.
But it was day drinking, which is the key.
Also for just like, you know, a vet like me, that like wasn't so crazy.
Except I did throw up at dinner.
But I don't think it had anything to do with the alcohol.
I think it was poisoned.
No, but like because you drink during the day, like the Sunday doesn't suffer as much.
And it was really nice.
I had a nice balanced weekend too because I drank.
We had a good time.
But I also read an amazing book that I started on Friday that I finished yesterday called
Luckiest Girl Alive.
Dana was telling me about it.
And it just, I didn't know anything about it when I read it.
And I absolutely loved it.
And Jackie just chatted it up so much on her Instagram when we were out together on Saturday.
Just like talk, talk, talking about the book that I was so heavily influenced.
I actually purchased the book. So she's going it on our vacation so exciting yeah um and speaking of
vacation this is our last week of shows for the year and we're gonna miss you guys but we're gonna
be having a good ass time yeah I know I am gonna miss you for sure but I will also definitely be
having a good ass time a GAT a GAT but last week of shows so enjoy them I mean last week I feel
like should have been the final week of shows because they were just five out of five premium ass shows like five stars all around
every episode more funnier than the next and that would have been a great way to go out yeah I guess
we'll just have to keep that energy up for this week yeah we're just gonna have to bring it it's
already been brought in that was like such a lame part of bring it on like it's not from bring it on
yes it is no so it's actually so she says bring
it obviously they never respond it's already been brought in that's from not another teen movie yeah
but no the whole concept of like bring it like what is it you know yeah no it's the energy like
i get it but it just it's like kind of cringy like you better bring it bring it oh we will
it's like you both know what the other is talking about. So vague. No, you it. I.T.
Everything of the sort.
Everything of the sort.
Yeah.
So it's been now four days since we've gotten the Evermore album.
And I'm still I'm taking my time.
I'm not 100 percent there in terms of like having lived with it.
But I did spend a significant amount of my weekend listening to it and studying it and just living with it.
And it's such a beautiful album. And honestly, some of the songs have just like really evolved into like totally different pieces
of music I think Willow which for Taylor I would say probably in all of her albums the songs that
she releases as her lead singles are almost always my least favorite like almost always I don't know
what it is but so that's why I didn't really have like a ton of hope for Willow I kind of just like
was like oh it's like a fine, but I'll like skip past it.
But my God, it's so good.
Like it's it's just so unlike her to put like one of her best songs as her single.
So I wasn't expecting it.
And I kind of like wrote it off almost.
But that's what I get for just judging before I know anything.
It's just such a beautiful album.
And I'm really happy with it.
Oh, good.
And there's a song on there about Theo, which is really was really cool.
That was my next question.
Like, what's Theo's favorite song?
Is it the one about him? Yeah, that was pretty cool of Taylor, that was my next question. Like, what's Theo's favorite song? Is it the one about him?
Yeah, that was pretty cool of Taylor to just, like, acknowledge him,
like a nod, you know, artist to artist.
A lot of celebrities have been acknowledging Theo these days.
Pete Davidson.
Pete Davidson and Ice Cream Chillin', Blackpink.
Oh, yeah.
Do-do-do-do-do.
Yeah, but when Taylor sings, hey, Dora, Theo, it's just, it warms my heart.
Because it's like she sees his beauty and his grace.
And just to clarify for those who might have been confused on our Instagram page,
that was not actually Theo the Cavalier in the picture with Pete Davidson outside of SNL.
But holy shit, did it look like him.
I just want to say, like, there's no proof that it wasn't Theo.
That's true, because I was out.
You were out.
Who knows what he got into.
Ben was out as well.
But I just know that he doesn't have that sweater.
But maybe he picked it up on the way.
Maybe it's a new sweater.
Maybe.
It wasn't him.
I'm not convinced.
I know what Theo looks like to a T.
So of course it looked a lot like him, but I knew it wasn't him.
No, same.
But to the average viewer who sees Theo on Instagram or on the show like it looks like him
so I agree I didn't expect so many people to think and then I dug myself into like this grave where
everyone was like is it him I can't tell and I was like I thought we all knew like this was a joke
I mean but still like it's unclear it could be him because no one was with him no one knew what
he got into a Saturday night right like remember that movie with Cynthia Nixon baby's day out where
like the baby goes to the museum in the gym? Yeah, I think Theo takes himself out.
He is a fan of comedy, obviously.
His mom and SNL is the only show in town right now.
So he went on down there and he met his friend Pete.
I don't think it's so far-fetched.
Me neither.
And if you don't know what we're talking about, look at our Instagram for the picture.
Educate yourselves.
Today we have a fabulous show, of course the Fast Five.
Lots to discuss because we had Real Housewives of Potomac reunion part one,
which was such unbelievable television.
Thank you for entertaining me.
Like it was so good.
Thank you, Monique Samuels.
I did not pick my phone up once.
Like I was just so intrigued.
And then we also had Real Housewives of Atlanta.
So we have a lot to discuss.
We have a lot to discuss.
So I think we should just jump right into the Fast Five stories that you need to know
before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.
Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.
But we can't.
We can't take a bite out of our morning toast yet.

Okay, first story.
Some big news of the weekend.
I just want to issue a trigger warning beforehand
because we're going to talk about an abusive relationship.
Oh, yes, I heard about this.
FKA Twigs is suing Shia LaBeouf over an alleged abusive relationship.
She has accused him of sexual battery, assault, and infliction of emotional distress,
the New York Times has reported. I didn't even know that they dated. I know. One incident
described in the lawsuit occurred just after Valentine's Day in 2019 and she claims that
Shia was driving recklessly, threatening to crash the car if she didn't profess her love for him as a passenger in the car she claimed she begged to
be let out of the car and he pulled over at a gas station followed her out of the car and assaulted
her throwing her against the car according to the lawsuit so there's a number of incidents that she
cites but also now Sia is coming out yes and calling Shia LaBeouf a pathological liar Sia is saying that Shia conned
her into an adulterous relationship she's warning women to stay away from the very sick star and
Shia LaBeouf did respond to the lawsuit from FKA twigs and was like yes this is all true like and
I'm very sick wow so it's first of all I didn't even know that any of these people.
Like were linked.
I didn't know Shia LaBeouf dated FKA Twigs.
I didn't know Shia LaBeouf had a relationship with Sia.
And then I didn't know that FKA Twigs is now dating Matt Healy.
From the 1975.
Because he like released a statement supporting her.
So I'm just like learning so much.
Learning so much.
But in regards to this story.
I feel like it's super.
I just love like Sia and FKA like.
Coming together.
Coming together and supporting one another. And just like speaking out when it's like so hard so hard and I'm sure FKA twigs like you know speaking out it's so brave to do and then to have someone in the industry like come and
back you up you like I'm sure means so much a hundred percent so I just I hope that justice
is served and I'm just really proud of them for speaking up against like and he's a major player in in the industry yeah so I mean it's hard I think everyone has
known for a long time that he's definitely unwell in a lot of ways and I think we all just like
watched it and he like becomes a meme but it's like not funny and this is like proof that it's
not yeah for sure I hope there's you know I didn't like I didn't know you could like sue someone yeah no I wasn't
but then I guess but then I think of like Amber Heard and Johnny Depp but they're like fighting
over like divorce no and libel right so I just didn't know that you could sue someone like
yeah in a relationship I didn't really know that either but I guess it totally makes sense like
you can yeah it's illegal yeah so we'll see how the suit plays out but I just think I think a lot
of this was to draw, raise awareness.
And then for Sia, it was like warning other women to stay away from him.
And I think that's important for women to know.
Yeah, me too.
This is a terrible story.
Terrible.
Hopefully, a road to justice.
Is on its way.
Okay, another really sad story.
Charlie Pryde, country music icon legend, has passed away from a COVID-
Charlie Pride, country music icon legend, an incredible PJOM.
PJOM, the pride of country music.
Literally.
Has passed away after a COVID-related death, now raising questions about whether or not
he might have contracted COVID at the CMA Awards, which were last month, and he was
honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award there.
The CMA Awards have put out a statement saying,
quote, everyone affiliated with the CMA Awards
followed strict testing protocols
outlined by the City Health Department and unions.
Charlie was tested prior to traveling to Nashville.
He was tested upon landing in Nashville.
And again on show day with all tests coming back negative
after returning to Texas following the CMA Awards,
Charlie again tested negative multiple times.
All of us in the country music community are heartbroken by Charlie's passing out of respect
for his family during their grieving period.
We'll be not commenting on this further.
Right.
So no one has actually confirmed whether or not the CMAs were the place where he got COVID.
I think a lot of people, including Maren Morris, who tweeted about it, were just like assuming
almost because of the timing.
Yeah, Maren Morris tweeted and deleted, but she said, I don't want to jump to conclusions because no family statement has been made but if
this was a result of the cmas being indoors we should all be outraged rest in power charlie so
i just want to say if this was a result of the cmas being indoors and just the cmas in general
i actually do think that people could have thought twice about inviting in person.
I didn't even think about it at the time because it really seemed like so well done.
And if that was the case that he had gotten it there, actually, now that I think about it,
like the Lifetime Achievement Award could have been received remotely and the rest of the thing could have gone on without him.
But at the same time, I don't think it's fair to assume that's where he got it, even though the timeline like does.
It could make sense.
It could make sense.
I just don't think it's fair to like jump to any conclusions yet.
And what's a COVID related injury?
A COVID related death would be so COVID,
like the disease itself, like caused harm to other parts of his body.
And then maybe I don't like it could have been heart failure.
Right.
From COVID.
COVID initially. Right. Or like because he was older, maybe he don't like it could have been heart failure right from COVID initially
right or like because he was older maybe he had some like pre-existing yeah yeah so I don't know
but I just think the way we you know address it both publicly and just like how like we should
just be careful because there's aside from the timing there's no proof that he had received it there. No, just speculation.
But at the same time, I didn't think it at the time.
But now that I'm thinking about it, I do feel like the CMAs were really well done.
And that's because most people in CMAs are young and healthy.
That the one person who was older and receiving his, maybe could have received it remotely.
Yeah.
Now that I think about it.
Yeah, I'm sure that people will continue to try and figure it out and also if it was a a super spreader event then other people would have
in the country music world would have gotten that's true I feel like maybe so I do feel like
there are ways that we'll find out yeah but I also definitely feel like celebrities in general
um like aren't telling people when they get COVID. Because like we knew Khloe Kardashian had COVID from keeping up with the Kardashians,
but she had it like a year ago or whenever.
Yeah, in March.
You know what I mean?
So I feel like not everyone is forthcoming.
No, I don't know.
I feel like every day I'm seeing a story or it's like so-and-so is telling us now that
they had COVID like four months ago.
And yeah, I agree.
They're definitely being strange about it.
So if there, if it was some type of super spreader event, like we might not know, but those things really don't stay quiet. No, they don't. They
don't. Okay. Next up, some Taylor Swift news. Of course. Like some Taylor Swift speculation that I
really want to talk about because I just think it's like so obvious, but I don't know. Okay.
Taylor Swift might release a surprise third album. Yes. Called Woodvale. Yes. So the signs of the
DeSwifty Code are pointing to a third album because she said veil yes so the signs of the de swiftie code are pointing to a third
album because she said the story continues there's wood veil written in the artwork for folklore
and they think that these are triplets not just twins you know it's very possible there are certain
like taylor swift theories that like i get really invested in um and sometimes they come to fruition
sometimes they don't this third album like okay i
see the points everyone is making i hope it's true but i'm not like you know tying up my ship and
getting on board you know i'm just i'm sitting around like waiting for it sure and if that
happens wonderful but i'm so i don't want to be greedy like i'm so grateful for the that's not
imagine you just put out like a second amazing work of art in one year, like record smashing,
chart topping.
And then everyone's just like, well, where's the third?
Yeah.
So I'm so grateful and I don't want to be greedy.
Like the two albums that we have are more than enough for me.
And if this is where the folklore era ends, it will have been not just good, but great.
You know?
I mean, beyond.
Beyond.
So.
Over and above.
It would have been enough to A new.
If we get the third album.
Okay.
I will be very appreciative, but I'm not expecting anything I Taylor Swift is very unpredictable and every
time we think we figured it out we usually don't I just I the three cardigans the three stars I'm
just feeling like like to me I always see these theories that um the Swifties put out and I'm like
okay this is far-fetched but I saw this one I was I was like, yeah, no, for sure, this is it.
Sometimes that happens.
But then it's like enough time goes by
where nothing happens that you just forget about it.
And like the theory goes unanswered.
Yeah, that's true.
That's the life of a Swifty.
It's like, I don't know.
I can't get so excited anymore
because so many of my theories are untrue.
Like, and just never come to life.
Yeah.
Like I really thought her and Joe
were definitely married
and maybe even had a baby after peace came out.
But.
Give you my wife.
Give you a child.
That's true.
But there's no nothing to say that they're not married.
That's true.
But I also just don't think Taylor Swift will ever legally be married.
That's true.
That is.
Financially.
I just don't think it makes sense.
That's very true.
Yeah.
I can relate.
You know.
Our next story is some more sad news.
This is just an SND.
A sad news day.
Lisa Vanderpump is devastated over the death of her beloved dog, Jiggy.
And so is the Bravo community, because this is wild.
Theo, cover your ears.
The Vanderpump Rural Star announced the news on social media Saturday,
saying she and her family are devastated.
Quote, he was truly loved, and we know many of you loved him too.
He inspired us to start our rescue rescue and we will always be grateful.
Jiggy's legacy lives on with every dog Vanderpump rules.
That's true.
Vanderpump dog saves.
Rip Jiggy, we love you.
Did you say rip?
I did.
That's weird.
R.I.P.
Did you say rip?
Not really.
I never.
It's like so disrespectful.
Like rip.
I don't give a rip.
Like rest in peace.
I'm sorry. She just said rip. Like, rest in peace is more appropriate.
I'm sorry.
She just said rip.
It's okay.
R-I-P.
And if it's like all lowercase, it's just like rip.
You know?
Rip, rip, rip.
I don't give a rip.
I'm actually really excited for the Real Housewives of Dallas, but I digress.
Back to Jiggy.
Jiggy is like the first lady dog-wise of Bravo.
Yeah.
And there's been so many, you know.
He's the first dog.
The first dog. Thank you. First lady dog-wise. Like, I And there's been so many, you know. He's the first dog. The first dog.
Thank you.
First lady dog wise.
Like, I don't know what that meant to say, but yes, first dog.
Yeah.
And this is just like crazy.
And I feel like a lot of people, like we've just been like, this is going to sound terrible,
but like, he's just been so old for so long that I feel like I've just been like waiting
for this announcement.
And it never came.
So I'm like, maybe he like drank from the Tuck Everlasting Fountain and he's going to
live forever.
Yeah.
No.
Now that like it's here, it's like, wow, he lived such a long life and he was sick like for a long time.
Yes, he had a lot of complications.
But he lived a very good life.
And it's just really sad because he's an icon.
And a meaningful life.
But his legacy is so meaningful.
Yeah.
And even though like I truly like in my soul despise Lisa Vanderpump, I actually like I
think the work that she does with Vanderpump Dogs and just like her love for dogs and the
Yulin Dog Festival is so admirable.
I just have something to say.
I'm like done despising Lisa Vanderpump.
Wait, that's like so crazy that you said that because like earlier and I just don't want
to like discredit all the work I've done over the last 10 years like into the gospel anti
Lisa Vanderpump. But watching this gospel anti-Lisa Vanderpump
but watching this most recent season without Lisa Vanderpump and then seeing Kyle just be like
really kind of weird and shady I was like hmm no it's like Kyle's Bobby Fisher maybe heavy is the
head that wears the crown and her neck was hurting no it's not even about the women it's like because
I've forgotten all the reasons why I dislike her and all the injustices I'm like she's a nice lady well yeah that's what
happens like out of sight out of mind I feel fondly but I don't even like her on Vanderpump
rules which is like where we see her more recently you know I and but it's been a while since
Vanderpump rules yeah like just the whole thing I think I'm still gonna stick to like spreading
the gospel of the Lisa Vanderpump hatred okay but I do I do agree. Part of me is like, part of me is like, who cares?
I don't feel as fervent about it.
I completely agree.
But I still,
just because I spent
so much of my young adulthood
like preaching to my friends
why like Lisa Vanderpump
was like really like
the most menacing potster.
I just don't think
I can go back on my word.
I know.
And also,
you know what I think?
But it does feel like.
You know what I think
endears us to her now?
Her to us?
She's a podcaster? She's a podcaster.
She's a podcaster.
And like there's just we have a warm spot in our heart for fellow podcasters.
That's fair, honestly.
You know?
Yeah.
So.
Plus she's having a tough week.
Something to think about.
Yeah.
OK.
Our fifth and final story.
We just breeze through these because all we want to do is talk about Honey's Finder.
It's such an interesting sports celebrity news story.
OK. Also also can I just
interject with like one story that I read that I thought was really interesting and I meant to send
to you sure so the um the founder of Cameo that app went on a podcast and was just talking about
like the success of Cameo and how like celebrities are making real money and he said that this year
the number one earner I want you to guess who made over a million dollars in in his
own sales like after commissions okay from cameo oh fuck yeah because i would have said a real
housewife it's so shocking number uh spencer pratt nope is even on cameo i don't know but like it's
not even in that realm not reality tv no um someone in the sports world then no i don't know what made me think of it okay i don't
know kevin from the office brian baumgartner i mean like i would never even know but does that
actually make a lot of sense like when you think about it yeah and on the podcast the founder was
like he takes like so much pride in his cameos like he like makes some real works of art and
he doesn't just like you know put a 10 second video together. And I thought that was really interesting.
That is really an interesting factoid.
Yeah.
Brian Baumgartner.
Yeah.
Made a million dollars on Cameo this year.
Congratulations.
Good for you.
Okay.
Our fifth and final story, a little sports celebrity news.
Cody Simpson says he qualified for the Olympic swimming trials.
He's going to the Olympics.
On behalf of Australia or America?
On behalf of Australia.
Damn it.
On Saturday, he said that he had qualified
for his first Olympic trials.
Sorry, trials.
Yeah, he's not going to the Olympics.
He's going to the Olympics.
He's going to the place.
He's going to the Olympics trials.
Yeah.
Olympic trials.
He said, I'd love to share this personal milestone
and let you in on my current journey as an athlete
that I've kept relatively low key until now.
He said he posted this on Instagram.
He said, I've had the chance to experience and learn so much as a musician and touring
around the world, releasing albums, performing as a leading man on Broadway, publishing a
work of poetry.
Oh, my God.
Humble brag.
This is a little obnoxious.
Yeah.
And now he's qualifying for the Olympics in 2021.
Wow.
I mean, I do wish it was for America.
So that sexy washboard ab could be like an American hero.
But I do understand that he's Australian and that's not how these things work.
Happy for him.
I mean, this does seem like, I don't know if you could just like wake up and decide
to be an Olympic swimmer.
I think these are things like you do since like you're nine.
I don't know.
Ask Michael Phelps.
But I appreciate his passion.
Yeah.
He said for years he'd been fueled by the silent fire in my stomach of returning to
my first love, the sport of swimming, with the idea that he's also promoting his poetry
book.
Well, you're right, of course, available on Amazon.
Speaking of.
With the idea that 2020.
Speaking of promoting a book, make sure to order my book, girlwithnojob.com slash book.
Comes out in just five weeks.
Don't miss out.
Pre-order it.
Audiobook, ebook, and paper print versions all available on Amazon and other retailers girlthrowjob.com book sorry so he's
promoting his poetry book with the idea that well no inadvertently just by using poetic language in
his instagram caption what the idea that 2020 would be the year he'd start trying again after
only five months back in the water with his incredible coach i was able to take out a win
and secure a spot at next year's australian. That's crazy. Some people just like, you know, those people who
just try something, try their hand, talent, try this, talent. But it's like, not really like,
that doesn't really happen in the Olympics. Like he's just being good. Seem like I woke up one day
and five months later I was going to the Olympics. And he actually makes it to the Olympics. I will
be incredibly impressed. No, but like for, oh, he won the Masked Singer.
Right.
He is a very talented celebrity.
Right.
That's true.
And for him to also be a super talented athlete, like Olympics, competing at an Olympic level.
Well, that means that you're the best of the best.
And I just don't, I'm not trying to be skeptical.
You don't think he can do it.
I don't think he can do it.
I don't think you just wake up and five months later you like okay maybe if you're lucky you make it to the
trial because you just have that like innate talent but these are it's like a disgrace to
the people who have literally been like swimming since they were nine just to get to the Olympics
and like this is their year and then speed is speed and you know he's not doing anything like
special or different like he's in that same pool with the same clock i'm saying if he really gets makes it to the the best of the best of the olympic team i will apologize okay but i'm saying even if he
doesn't the fact that he who like is so talented in other realms even made it to the olympic trials
like no he's a really good swimmer no he's a good swimmer for sure he's like a tall man in shape and
yeah so and so anyone can just make it to the olympic trials no but it's
not the olympics so i'm just saying like if we get to the olympics i will take back what i said but
i just think this is like this is like one of those things to impress i've been noticing like
celebrities just like keep doing things in other people's like the paul brothers like now becoming
ufc fighters when it's like no people who have literally been like waiting their whole life to fight Floyd Mayweather.
And now it's like Logan Paul gets to do it when he's been fighting.
It's just like celebrities.
And by the way, I do it myself as well.
Like I'm like categorizing myself as like a celebrity.
But like, you know, I just release music because I feel like it even though I'm not a singer.
Like it's just like a thing.
It's like celebrities just like keep like doing things and like getting to like the best of different industries just because they're celebrities.
And I agree with you on that point but i think based on talent but this is
just completely based on talent has nothing to do with the fact that he's a celebrity no
maybe no no i don't know how it works in australia but i'm just saying if he gets to the olympic
no trials i will take back what i said but But for now, it's just like Cody Simpson.
Sit down.
No, but like he's still remarkably skilled and nothing about being a celebrity like got him that time in that pool.
I don't know.
It got him like the like whatever.
No, I hear what you're saying.
Like him being a celebrity like he got a fancy coach.
Like you know what I mean?
He put in the work. but, like, I don't know.
I just, I don't really feel like I can really make a statement yet
until I know if he made the team.
Okay, but I just want to say, this becomes a trend of, like, celebrities.
Becoming Olympians?
Becoming Olympic athletes.
Like, I'm here for it.
Now that breakdancing is an Olympic sport.
Well, you know what's interesting about celebrities becoming Olympic athletes?
It's, like, because.
Olympic athletes are also celebrities.
That. And basketball is a winter or right summer summer olympic sport and like the best of um american nba players usually play for the american olympic team and actually sometimes
foreign nba players like play for their home countries and it's like weird to be playing
your teammates but that's also weird because those are celebrities like lebron james is a celebrity
like and him being an olympian it's like he's honestly too famous for
the Olympics no like it was crazy I remember when they all went to the last Olympics and I remember
when like Chloe and Lamar were together I think Lamar went to the Olympics I think he did as well
they were together and it is crazy to see your favorite celebrities in the Olympics and that's
what I'm saying 100% I'm just saying I'm not convinced that's all I'm saying. A hundred percent. I'm just saying I'm not convinced. That's all I'm saying.
Well, you know what?
We'll keep you posted.
I need to find out
when the Australian Olympic trials are.
We'll stream them.
Because you know what?
We'll know if he made it,
but we won't know if he didn't.
No, a hundred percent.
If you never hear from us again,
he didn't make it.
In regards to this story.
You know what?
But Cody, I just want to let you know,
like I'm rooting for you.
No, I'm rooting for America.
No, but like I would love to see Cody Simpson at the Olympics I will just like give us a level of Olympics coverage celebrity Olympics coverage that we need can I tell you how much I
love the Olympics I know and we were gypped this year yeah I'm sorry that's not a word I should
be using anymore no I just learned by the way I also just learned that too it's um it's offensive
to gypsies yeah so I'm sorry we were I feel like a lot of people don't know that yeah no I didn't know it until recently me too um what
I was gonna say about the Olympics it's like I never feel more like redneck I love America than
I do when the Olympics are on I'm like you know like running around with my shirt off like with
like American flag painted on my belly like yeah I just it's the best time of year like some people
love the holiday season and I do too but I love especially summer olympic season yeah I totally agree I mean to get
olympics this year which is cool too just as for the winter no winter's winter is like a really
close second but nothing beats summer and like Michael Phelps in the swimming no in the gymnastics
gymnastics but honestly I really actually enjoy like all those weird skiing sports. Yeah. Very cool.
Yeah.

real housewives of potomac reuni the rope reunion was on last night. The women really looked fabulous. You know,
collectively they looked really good. And then when you zoomed in a little bit more, everyone's
outfit was like a little fecocked. Like Wendy's dress like kept falling over on like her, her
right like breast, uh, like thing was just like falling over. I didn't notice Robin's hair until
her zoomed in thing. And it was very confusing. Ashley, love you.
The inside of your cape was just absolutely awful.
Best dressed is Queen Monique and Queen Karen Huger.
Yes.
And you know, I have to give her credit.
Candace did look pretty cute.
Candace actually always looks very good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I didn't think like the looks.
I thought again, I feel like if you look at all the Potomac reunions, it's just not great.
But I feel like this one.
And I don't like that they all wore the same color I think that's like such a weird like I like the
idea of it but then in practice it's like I don't know I feel like they could have worn the same
hue or like same well it's a family of colors yeah it is like they were like bridesmaids whereas I
feel like sometimes you know I feel like in New Jersey they all wear sparkles but there's silver
there's gold there's rose gold there's a million different things to all wear like this shade of yellow.
I thought was strange.
I actually liked it because first of all, I think when they took the photos and like
they all just looked like this like unit.
But then what I really liked is like, because they're really all given like the same exact
guidelines, we really get to see like who doesn't know how to dress and who knows how
to dress.
That's true.
And the fact that we spent almost half the reunion last night, like, diving in on Giselle's awful style in terms of fashion and awful home decor style, led by Karen Huger, like,
and the viewers.
And the viewers are really vocal about it.
Like, nothing gives me more joy than, like, five, what is it, six seasons now?
Like, we've just been, like, skirting around this issue.
And now, and now we said it.
And now we said it.
And really, like, Karen was being so funny.
And Giselle, like, really didn't have a defense and it and it is so weird and I think what Wendy said she's definitely
onto something that Giselle is like too pretty pretty she's pretty girl syndrome she doesn't
like she's never had to like work that hard in those other areas because like she's so stunning
she could wear whatever she wants yeah I personally relate to that I mean because I've just been like
so beautiful my whole whole life like people you just used to treat me so differently they still do um I relate to that like I really
don't have to try because I'm so stunning no but Karen was just so on point with all of her
comebacks and I thought that obviously the end of the episode Giselle had nothing to say for herself
but I even thought in the beginning when Karen and Giselle were doing their thing of just like
insulting each other and just doing that I thought Karen was so on point and Giselle were doing their thing of just like insulting each other and just doing that.
I thought Karen was so on point and Giselle like really had nothing to say.
And so she was just like saying the same thing over and over.
Just like sort of mocking Karen, but like wasn't actually contributing.
Like didn't have any like insults in her back pocket, except for like the Geritol comment.
But then like Karen turned it on her.
What is Geritol?
I'm assuming it's an old age medication.
This is why Karen Huger is the absolute queen.
Because she said that's ageist and she mispronounced ageist.
And so Wendy corrected her.
And Wendy was definitely being condescending when she corrected her.
But instead of like fighting with Wendy, she said, what was it, Wendy?
Ageist.
Thank you, honey.
Like it was just so smart.
Like she didn't get sidetracked.
She's an amazing fighter.
Like, you know what I mean?
And last night's episode really
for me like showed was like emblematic of how I've been feeling this whole season where it's
like Karen Huger's like the absolute queen gets no no respect and Giselle like has questions for
everybody but answers to nobody no and so we need to just talk about the best moment of the night
when Monique came with her binder and it's always
like when someone starts bringing up printed out text messages like it's like a joke but she came
prepared because she had this story of Jamal's girlfriend and if she had said it with nothing
to back it up people have been like oh Monique you're being crazy and you're just being spiteful
the look on everyone's faces everyone knew what she was talking about. This other female pastor. Who is it?
I don't know.
Like it's Jamal's real girlfriend, I guess.
And he's dating with Giselle for the show.
Right.
Which is just like such a crazy thing to say.
But then it also seems to be very true.
Then Monique read out the phone number.
Giselle had to confirm that that's his phone number.
That was crazy.
And then that made everything else true.
And at first, all the women were like Monique what are
you doing what are you doing but then Monique was just spitting fact after fact after fact
and everyone shut the fuck up because everyone knows that it's most likely true and like now
you can't even deny what Monique is saying and Giselle for the first time was just like
speechless and I hate to see a woman taken down and like a person's relationship like put into
question but after all Giselle has done over the years like questioning everyone's marriage baby like she's just so she's always stirring the pot and
like really putting people in uncomfortable situations and it's like you can't have this
very confusing relationship no matter what you believe like they he cheated on her he has the
her just Giselle's dad said he has children with like six other women like six to seven seven
most recent so it's like you can't help but question it so it's like Giselle's dad said he has children with like six other women. Six to seven. Seven is the most recent.
So it's like you can't help but question it.
So it's like, Giselle, when you are sitting on this,
like you should really be quiet about other people's things.
Yeah.
Just so nobody comes prying into your business.
No, it's the golden rule.
Don't dish it out if you can't take it.
Hundred percent.
So just to finally see like Giselle be like really just put in her place,
it felt so good. And I feel like everyone who's ever been like interrogated like Giselle be like really just put in her place it felt so good and I feel
like everyone who's ever been like interrogated by Giselle just like was living like I know Ashley
and Karen like they were just living for it living for it and I I can't believe Giselle allowed
herself to react like that like yeah she had nothing like she couldn't even retort she had
nothing to say like her silence was confirmation
she always has something to say she always yeah like she could have just gone back and forth and
she just like I don't know she had I that's why that's what I'm saying even with Karen like she
just didn't have like the the fight in her like I don't know I also thought that the way that
they're sitting is very strange because usually it's like side versus side so it would have been
like Wendy Giselle Robin andace, and then the other three.
But I feel like because they're so far apart,
they actually had to put people who are fighting like next to each other
because if Wendy is screaming at Karen,
they're literally like 30 feet apart because they're so separate because of COVID.
Yeah.
So I did think it was weird that Robin was sitting there.
I couldn't, when they were zooming in on people,
like I couldn't get a sense of like who's next to who.
A hundred percent.
But I didn't like mind it so much.
But yeah, it definitely, they're like taking some learnings from New York reunion where Andy was
all the way there like they tried to do the circle and I think it's I think it is going as best as it
possibly could um in regards to the conversation about um Wendy's degrees I did have a lot to say
because I've I kind of like agreed with Wendy because she's like that's just like so a part
of our culture and like I hate to blame it on like a cultural difference but I kind of like agreed with Wendy because she's like that's just like so a part of our culture and like
I hate to blame it on like a cultural difference but I kind of understood what she was saying and
I know like in certain like cultures like your education is everything so you keep bringing it
up so I kind of understood that but I wish she addressed Ashley's very well said claim that it's
like it's not about you bragging it's like you use it to put others down yeah and like you bring it
up when literally no she's like I feel like I bring Wendy said I have to bring it up because I need to
defend myself because people are talking about it but then as she's like wait when we were at
Candice's uh when we were at Monique's lake house like you just brought it up because like literally
nobody said anything so it's like I wish she just would have addressed the way that she uses it to
put other people down because I did appreciate her explaining why she brings it up so much
but that doesn't help me understand the rest of it she doesn't see it that way you know so I do
yeah uh it was an interesting conversation I'm glad that she talked about it because I feel like
that's when I've been like watching and then like looking on Twitter that's like how everyone feels
yeah and it's funny and it's funny but it it does make sense if it is a cultural difference
and also like she should be extremely proud yeah exactly like I would be did you think that Karen Huger really like spoke to Robin and Giselle on the plane home from
Portugal and said like we need Wendy off the show I don't think she said it like that and also from
what I've seen on the show I know that Giselle is not reliable in a game of telephone floozy
freelancer okay we need to talk about that right so like why would I say if Giselle said that Karen
said something I know for a fact that Giselle misremembers or misrepeats
or adds things that weren't there.
She adds color.
She paints a little bit.
Right.
So given that, no, I don't believe,
maybe the sentiment of like Wendy isn't a good cast member.
Or she's not like a, she's not jiving with the group.
Or like she's not contributing.
Like maybe she said something to that effect,
but not in the way that Giselle said it.
And so I'm going to Karen I agree I feel like literally this whole because we finally have
on camera like in sequence the floozy freelancer thing we saw what Karen said verbatim we saw what
Giselle then repeated to Wendy we this is like and she's and when they called her out on the
reunion she's like oh I just added one word and I'm so grateful and he was like no no you added the most important word because
otherwise she just called her a freelancer which is what she does for a living so it's like I that
that the whole thing bothered me so much and I remember watching and being like she didn't call
her a floozy freelancer and it never came to blow but now that we're sitting down at the reunion
like re-watching footage I was so glad and that is proof that like literally I don't think I could
ever believe anything Giselle ever said yeah if she says
someone said this I know for certain that they didn't and you know what Karen has not lied to
me and I feel like she definitely has lied to the other women I didn't invite Monique but then she
comes on her confessional she's like yeah she doesn't lie to us yeah she doesn't lie to us so
if Karen said she said this and not that I'm going with Karen and you know what Wendy is like
Wendy Giselle the four of them they're so obsessed with just like being against Monique that Wendy should actually be mad at Giselle. Giselle called her
a floozy freelancer. That means Giselle came up with the word floozy. That means in her brain,
because Karen didn't say it, Giselle thinks that Wendy is a floozy freelancer.
Yeah. That was not delved into enough for me. And like that required an apology to both Karen and Wendy which
I don't think that we got no but Wendy's just so obsessed with like being on this crew of four
women who like want to take Monique off the show that they can't fight in between themselves because
they're losing sight of the big picture which is Monique yeah um also I love Christian notice how
um Ashley's hair was straight and then curly? No.
So in the beginning, like the first 10, 15 minutes,
Ashley's hair was like blown out straight.
And then when they cut to her again, she has like ringlet curls.
And then again, it's like straight.
Like she changed her, like.
So it's my understanding that they couldn't get touch-ups at all.
So they did like a big chunk and then a long break
where they got lunch and hair and makeup touch-ups and then the rest.
Okay. So maybe they cut a piece from part two piece from the back end and put it in the middle yeah I was thinking that because I was noticing like a lot of them were shiny and I noticed that on Real
Houses of New York too and that's because usually when they take a break like their hair and makeup
people come to the set and just touch them up but because of COVID they're not even allowed on set
so they only got one big one and Ashley changed her hairstyle which like is crazy which is a crazy
thing to do yeah I love Chris Samuel so much
like when they were just like praying and I just like can't wait for him to come out oh my god
Candace when she was like and he was like I heard you moved out of your house she's like well we'll
have to wait for Chris to get here to talk about it so it's like okay I don't know why you need
your husband there to announce it but okay obviously there's something Chris needs to be
here for us so we'll wait but then she gave it up and then about a house yeah and then um and
then she was like and we're still thinking about having a baby like and he was like have you made
a decision she's like yeah we're still thinking about it maybe you'll hear something soon how is
no one gonna call her out on like the fact that she had a fake storyline like we literally need
you know who we need megan king edmunds no um jennifer aiden like she did to melissa yeah with
the sister and the baby you know what can? That's what Candace is doing.
That's so true.
By the way, that's so funny, because there's, like, brands of half, like, Megan King Edmonds
brand is, like, if there's a mystery to solve, like, you're getting Megan King Edmonds.
Detective Edmonds.
Detective Edmonds.
But you're right.
Like, if there's a fake storyline to be called out, it's Miss Jennifer Aiden.
Yeah.
Because that's what Candace is doing.
And, like, it's so transparent.
But, like, no one will call her out on it.
And honestly, I didn't even think that that was what Melissa Gorga might have been doing.
Until Jennifer called it.
And I'm like, oh, totally.
Yeah, because like I love Melissa Gorga.
But like that season was a little silly for her.
The sister, the psychic.
The mysterious sister.
And yeah.
Just like such a weird storyline.
Incredibly weird.
So all in all, part one reunions are usually never that good like
it was no and it's like I just feel like we're gearing up and I'm so happy for Monique because
obviously she's been totally sidelined during the season like even in the beginning she didn't even
chime in it's like she's a friend of like she's not even there and and the women just have
completely written her off but she's coming back better than ever and as a Monique stan this is
what I've been
waiting for this whole time one more thing like so good I thought Andy's question about like
colorism as it pertains to like the way some of the women described like Monique and just like
like the physical behavior I thought that was a really interesting conversation um and one that
I feel like we've been you know thinking about when discussing this fight and how like terms like
aggressive and um what was the other word they said well Monique had said no Wendy was saying
ferocious thank you ferocious and aggressive are just like not words and then and Andy was like
asking like questions that I was wondering too like what so what are appropriate words and when
he was like just use a dictionary like I thought that was a really interesting conversation and honestly I
never even really knew what colorism was and within the black community until Potomac because
they used to talk about it a lot yeah they used to talk about it a lot and I remember when I was
reading um Gabrielle Union's book it was something that came up a lot and I learned a lot about it
and so it was interesting to hear them comment on it and if they feel that it has played a part
in the way that the women talk about each other and or the viewers right talk about the women
also just really quickly the wendy slither is probably my favorite thing from the whole season
like yeah and honestly it's it's so funny to watch karen do it and then immediately watch
wendy do it because literally like the same energy same energy like she literally captured it so well
like I was crying like Karen's just so funny like and honestly it's upsetting that she like gets no
fucking respect no I know it the the Wendy Slither was so funny and only because like Karen did it
so well like the way she imitated it.
It's perfect.
It's like the same exact energy.
And honestly, I would have never thought twice about the way that Wendy walked down the stairs.
And like, I feel like Karen might have not even seen
the way she walked down the stairs
just that she was coming up.
But like the fact that she caught that,
it was just so funny.
No, it's literally like peak comedy.
Like it's hilarious.
So I just can't wait for part two and three
and we're not going to be podcasting, but i just can't wait for part two and three and we're not
gonna be podcasting but like just know but after part three i feel like we'll have a recap of
everything so we'll know where we're at it's so good binder are they gonna take a christmas break
maybe maybe okay um and then real houses of atlanta which i i'm having like a hard time
getting into the groove of because it's such a shift like Nini being gone like actually left like a seismic is that the right word it tends what you're gonna
say whole shift whole like a gap a sizable a sizable like there's an energy shift for sure
um and it's just not being made up for with like Marlo Latoya and Drew even though that final
conversation with Drew and her husband
was crazy. I'm like, damn, these people are really like opening up on reality television.
Yeah. And on the one hand, I'm like, it's kind of annoying when a couple goes on TV to fight or get
divorced, but I don't feel like that's where they're headed. I think this is just their
relationship and it's just really interesting and honest. I agree. Normally I hate that shit.
It was like, it got super personal. and then by the end I was just like sad
yeah and the cameras like that was just crazy yeah but I actually like Drew I feel like Latoya
was being really like unnecessarily mean to her and Drew is a full housewife Latoya I believe is
just a friend of and to me it's just like so clear Latoya is like bending over backwards to get
on a full-time cast member rotation yeah she. She's obviously like on a trial period. Yeah. And it could go either way. I think she's really cute, but she was just like giving
me such bad vibes. Like just like annoying energy. I feel that. I also feel like when there's like
two new people and then they start fighting, but it's like everyone else around them is like a vet.
It just felt like a season one sort of motif. It honestly felt like a season one party. Like
all the girls are getting to know each other and someone said something about their relationship that you
can poke fun at oh my god I've been getting like such crazy nosebleeds and I literally it's my
nose bleeding I heard you've been getting crazy nose jobs I know um no but like I'm smelling blood
in my nose but I don't see anything no I'm just being dramatic doesn't mean it's not there so um
yeah honestly what I find most interesting about Real Houses of Atlanta is their homes like I'm
obsessed with Cynthia's house.
Like Bailey, yeah.
And you know who, like, actually, for so many seasons in Atlanta, it was, like, this huge
conversation, like, everyone naming their homes, like, who could build a nicer home?
Chateau Chourette.
I love the idea of naming your home.
Yeah, but it's, like, they all used to come at each other being, like, you have no money,
like, and everyone came for Kenya when, like, her home literally popped up out of nowhere.
She built it in, like, a day.
And honestly, it really has stood the test of time.
It's really very well done.
Yeah.
But like whatever happened to Chateau Charest?
I don't know.
But I like how they all named their homes.
Yeah.
But Lake Bailey is like so nice.
It's the place to be.
Yeah.
And Latoya being like, it's a river.
No.
And yeah.
And like her insistence on river.
I'm like, no, it's a lake.
It's not that funny.
You're not going to insult Cynthia.
Yeah.
But to be honest, I felt like when they were all at the um wine tasting party and
marlo got up to get more wine with latoya i feel like she literally gave latoya like the best piece
of advice and latoya didn't hear it no and i feel like marlo really summed up what it is about kenya
that like makes her so toxic and it's so true like she cozies up to you learns things about you and then will use it again I always have felt that she has some weird
information on Cynthia because Cynthia is such a good friend to her for like no reason and Cynthia's
friendship with Nini was like a huge problem like I just I've always felt that like there's just
something off about Kenya and I can't put my finger on it and in two seconds Marlo completely
uh illustrated what it is right but when she said it and from what we got of Latoya's reaction,
I don't think she heard her because she was like,
oh, so I shouldn't take advice from her.
No, that's not it at all.
You should just like have your guard up and just keep some things to yourself.
And I don't think she got it.
Even though I do feel what you were saying last week,
there is like a little shift in the way I feel about Kenya.
I do think she's more humbled.
Hundred percent.
And she's like, I think a lot of people are confused
about like why she's like being so carefree with Latoya but I kind of understand that like when
you meet someone who just like changes your vibe like I don't think there's anything weird about
that I'm just so cautious of Kenya like she for sure she's just she's not who she says she is
like and I really believe that okay no I I hear what you're saying and I also feel like Latoya is in the exact same situation that she's in like separated and just like it's
nice to have a friend it's nice to have a friend yeah um so honestly nothing has been really
happening I feel like there's this like big blow-up moment which is the bachelorette party
and I just feel like the stage is being set yeah um but I actually thought it was like crazy seeing Riley uh graduate from college and that's like a thing with housewife
um kids is like you really can tell how long you've been watching the show like I remember
Avery Singer in middle school you know what I mean and I remember Riley when she was so young
and like reconnecting with her dad like it's actually just like a true testament because
like the housewives get so much plastic surgery they all look the same like since season one
and it's just crazy like when you see housewife kids like all grown up especially
ones that like started filming when they were like an awkward age like yeah that was ali shapiro
um avery and riley and now she's like all grown up going to nyu and like that's just crazy like
for me like how long i've been watching housewives yeah totally i loved she looked so cute at her
graduation yeah just such a cutie also candy was MIA from the whole episode. Oh yeah.
But speaking of Avery.
She posted on her Instagram story.
That she applied to go on The Bachelor.
Avery Singer.
Margot.
To go on The Bachelor.
Asheray sent.
Or maybe Olivia Asheray.
Sent it to me.
And then.
Someone else sent me.
That on Matt James' season.
There's like a socialite on it.
And she's Cynthia Rowley's daughter.
Yeah.
So now I just feel like.
What once was like a really embarrassing thing to do.
With a good payoff. Is now like was like a really embarrassing thing to do with a good payoff is now like becoming like a cool thing to do like go on The Bachelor like Cynthia Rowley what the hell do you need to be going on The Bachelorette for yeah no it's still
if not to promote your mother's clothing it was always like a cool thing to do but I feel like
there were some people like a few select people who would not see it that way like high society
yeah and now like society but we'll see we'll get to know society is calling society is calling but I think
Avery should go on The Bachelorette I actually think she's a good um contender yeah interesting
well those are the housewives recaps that you definitely need to know you definitely needed
to know them and honestly I feel like a lot of people who listen to our show like maybe don't
watch housewives and just like listen recaps for fun.
And sometimes people ask us like, how would, there's so many Housewives, like how should
I get started?
And to be honest, a really easy way to get started is watching Salt Lake City because
it's season one and there's only a few episodes.
But honestly, so many people I know have really picked up Potomac during quarantine because
it has like the fewest amount of seasons.
And I think this is the end of the sixth season or fifth?
I don't know. Fifth or sixth um and it's just like easy and it's really I was like re-evaluating everything last night like as it stands right now I would say Potomac and
Beverly Hills are my top two New York is no longer a part of it oh for sure no I picked up Potomac
in quarantine it was so much fun to watch and if you're looking for a place to start I would say
that's an amazing place
Potomac is definitely amongst my top three I'd have to think like actually yeah probably Potomac
Beverly Hills and we'll see about Dallas yeah oh but Salt Lake City but it's too soon to say
that's too soon yeah like you have to have history in order to get to the top three but I also love
New Jersey when it's on it depends on the the season. Yeah. And same with New York. And same with OC.
OC probably is my least favorite of all time.
Yeah.
Ever.
Of all time.
Bring back the Real Housewives of Miami.
That's all I have to say.
I just don't understand how Real Housewives of Miami got canceled.
Like, what was so bad about it that it got canceled and OC doesn't, you know?
Yeah, no, 100%.
It doesn't make sense.
Because to me, Real Housewives of Miami had the perfect combination of, like, you know,
thirst monsters, real money. Leah Black had know, Thirst Monsters, real money.
Leah Black had real money.
Lisa Hochstein had real money.
Thirst Monsters, like Adrian, was that her name?
Yeah.
Who got married and like was four hours late to her own wedding.
And then they did that.
Joanna Krupa.
Oh, Thirst Monster.
Then they did that live reunion, which was fucking crazy.
They recorded the whole thing live.
Like it was really a revolutionary franchise and
it was just like randomly canceled and nothing Larsa was on it Larsa was on it except the only
downfall was that woman Karen who was a dentist and had her name wasn't Karen it was Karen and
I just never understood why that was her name that's so funny when I was gonna text you last
night when we were talking about Potomac I was about to be like when Karen was like being
everything I'd be like Karen why like just cause like of Karen
no I know
she was literally
she was literally
like the worst
but then that girl
Alexia remember
she was great
and they all had
really nice houses
I just don't know
like I just want
an explanation
I want to see like
the Q scores
as to why
that was cancelled
and other franchises
aren't
wait like I understood
why the Real Housewives
of DC was cancelled
yes
even though it was
excellent when that couple like showed up to the White House uninv D.C. was canceled. Yes. Even though it was excellent when that
couple like showed up
to the White House
uninvited.
But did Bravo catch
that or they just
like started filming
after that had happened
and she happened to
be that person?
No, Bravo caught it.
Remember they were
like in the limo
like holding a fake
invitation.
Oh my God, stop.
I think.
I didn't watch it.
I just saw a clip
and Andy was talking
about it.
Yeah, no, they
literally caught it
on camera.
They pretended they
were invited to like
some inauguration.
Yeah.
I don't even know
who was president back then. Probably Obama,
right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they pretended they were invited
and they couldn't get through the gates of the
West Wing. I can't.
That was like a... It sounds like
a good show because of that one moment, but it wasn't
anything of the sort. No, I didn't watch
it, so I wouldn't know. Yeah.
I just remembered that
woman. So if you're looking for
something to do over Christmas break,
Potomac and Salt Lake City are a great place to start.
And that's our show.
Anything you want to say before you wrap?
By the way, every time I say before we wrap up,
you know what I think of?
Motor Mouth, Maybel, and Hairspray.
It's time to wrap this mother up.
Should I start saying that?
Honestly, yeah.
It is time to wrap this mother up.
No, I have nothing to say. Just we'll No, I have nothing. I have nothing to say.
