Good morning, millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Friday. We made it to another weekend in the queue. Hey, Claude. H-Y-D. Hey, Jax. How you doing? Claudia here, live in New York. So excited to be here. It's Friday, Friday. Gotta get down on Friday. Honestly, I haven't been singing that much in the queue in terms of Zoom, but something about having this microphone makes me feel like I'm in a studio. 100%. I think that you should continue to sing. I haven't heard anything negative about your singing. Anytime you do sing, whether it was that Dear Toasters Patreon episode, people really enjoy it. I think everyone's really been enjoying our jingles, our custom jingles for each segment. I feel like we need to bring more music into the show. I think that's a good note for us.

I'm so glad you brought that up because I'm having this moment on TikTok where I found this amazing TikToker who, he's like a pianist. He's like a broad, I don't, he's obsessed with Broadway. He's an amazing piano player and singer. And he's been doing these TikTok videos of like famous requested show tunes in different keys. And it's like, I'm very musically talented, but I don't know anything about like music keys or anything. So I just know that like some songs are too high for me and some songs are too low. So learning what my keys are and all these different songs has been so helpful. And I duetted one of his songs.

His name is Dewey. And he DM'd me and he was like, loved your video. I used to love the morning breath. And I was like, what? The morning breath, Dewey? That that's crazy and i put in a request so if you see the wizard and i on dewey's piano page like it's me he's got the keys keys keys i got the keys keys keys so yeah check out my tiktok job that's awesome also if you're wondering why claudia and i look like a little extra snatch today it's because we just recorded a Zoom get ready with us for our Patreon

channel where we like woke up, rolled out of bed and did what our makeup and what we do to get ready for the toast together. And honestly, it was like a little toast pregame. It's going to be up by the time this episode goes up. And I think it was just what we needed today. So if you're a Patreon subscriber, I would recommend watching the Zoom first and then this episode think it was just what we needed today. So if you're a Patreon subscriber, I would recommend watching the Zoom first and then this episode because it's just like so in life. Okay, so I'll post the Patreon. I'll do like a note saying if you should watch this before you watch today's episode because it's like chronological.

Yes, we hope that you do.

We have a great show for you today. We have some interesting stories. Today's a very big day for music and we will get into that. But before we get into like the lighthearted, fun, Kelly's Mindless News stuff, there's something that we wanted to discuss on the show because we feel like it is important and it is our job to raise awareness and advocate for what is going on in the world right now in terms of the murder of George Floyd. Yeah, totally. I've just been consumed with this story for the last few days. It's really been weighing heavy on my heart,

as I'm sure it is with everyone in the country. So we just wanted to take a minute to let our Black toasters know, our toasters in Minneapolis, just know that we are here for you. We don't stand for racial inequality, especially murder. Like this is flat out murder. The police officers involved, not just the sociopath with his knee on a man's neck, but the police officers standing around watching, they're all complicit. They all should be held to the highest standard of the law, probably higher because they're police officers. Definitely. And we just would be remiss if we didn't mention it because it's been weighing on us. As I'm sure it, I mean, I'm in the seasoned toasters group and I feel like no one can even begin to imagine what it's like to be a black person in America right now. But

the seasoned toasters, it's just a window into what it's like and people just saying things like I've never even thought about like someone saying she's just hesitant to go out for a walk where it's like I've never thought twice about going out and getting some fresh air and that's my own privilege and it's just really like eye-opening to read the experiences of people who don't look like you and if you're ignoring the situation or you think that it doesn't apply to you you are wrong and you are complicit as well so we just felt like we like we don't do serious stuff on this show, but this is something beyond anything else. It's not political.

Like this is a human rights issue and we all need to be there for the black community, for our seasoned toasters. We see you, we love you, and we are here for you. And if you feel like we do and you want to do your part and help and get justice for George Floyd and have those officers arrested and charged with murder, a few places you can go to do that would be justiceforbigfloyd.com. Or you can text

Floyd to 55156 to put pressure on the district attorney, Mike Freeman, to charge and arrest the officers immediately because justice must be served. Yeah. And I'm just thinking of his family, thinking of every person. I mean, I listened last night, Rachel Lindsay launched a new podcast with Ringer called Higher Learning, which I think is like, it's less bachelor, more intellect. And she's a great co-host. I don't know where he's from, but he's so smart. And they don't really agree on much, which is so interesting. And I listened to the first 25 minutes, which is their segment on George Floyd. And I just feel like, and I sent Rachel Lindsay a message because I just feel like she's one of the most important women in America right now. And you can't help

but think if there were more representation within Bachelor Nation, there would be 20 Rachel Lindsays, but there's only one. That's such a good point. And that's what i said to her i'm like i'm sure you deal with the most negativity like i can't even imagine what your dms look like i just want you to know like what you're doing is impacting me like i grew up in a bubble and you make me see the world outside of my own privilege and like i just i i'm sure you don't get any messages like this but i just want you to know you're making a difference. And please don't let people DMing you negative things stop you because I'm sure she gets the worst. That's such, that's, that's so true. I feel the exact same way about what she's doing. And it's important for her to know that she's making a difference. Yeah. And to anyone who

might have anything negative to say about us talking about this on the show, like while we don't cover serious things and we don't cover politics, this is a not political issue to me. Like, this is just straight-up murder. Yeah, I would agree. And it felt like I wouldn't feel good about the job that we do here if we don't use our platform to speak on important issues and let everyone in our community know that we see them

and we are here for them and we want to help. And we will not stand for this. Yeah. So we just wanted our seasoned toast to know we are here. We support you. We see you and we're here for you. And I'm really terribly sorry that this is happening. Yeah. Me too. Wow. Okay. But on a lighter note. On a lighter note, what we do try and do here is cheer people up, get them, you know,

just in a lighter mood, thinking about nothing, just laughing, having a good old time. And so that's what we're going to try and do today. Even though it feels like the world, even the weather, it's like cloudy. There is a cloud over this country today. But we're going to do the best that we can to lift you guys up today. And if that involves me singing, I'll do it. Like, I will do it. I think it might involve you singing. I think it might, too.

I'm excited because we have a fabulous segment of Kelly's Mindless News today, and we're going to recap Real Housewives of New York, which was an amazing episode, but there is so much to unpack on social media afterwards, and I am all caught up on the drama, and I'm here to brief everyone. I took like a big poop this morning, and I was watching everyone's Instagram stories, and I did my research, and I'm here to speak. Okay, wow. I'm really excited about that. So without further ado, let's get into the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast. And Jax, you know what? I don't have anything to say today. And it's actually really sad. Do you want to know why I don't have anything to say today?

I know why, but why don't you let them know why it's sad? Starting today was supposed to be our summer Fridays because Jackie and I thought we were going to be spending our summer gallivanting around this country, like partying and sweating and tanning. We had all these plans for ourselves. Obviously, quarantine got in the way of that, and we have absolutely no plans for the summer. So we were planning on taking every Friday off this summer to do a little Summer Friday, and therefore, we have no ads on Fridays. So instead of, you know, making money and instead of going out and

gallivanting around this great nation, we are doing this show with no ads today. Yeah, we had big, big plans for this summer, and a lot of them included you, not even Camp Toast, like other things that we were going to do. And it would have involved us. Yeah, it would have involved us not being in the office on Fridays. And instead, we're here just like not having the ads. I forgot that's why we took the summer Fridays. We had a whole thing planned for you guys this summer, and now we're here. I'm so glad.

That's why we took the summer Fridays. We had a whole thing planned for you guys this summer, and now we're here. I'm so glad. Okay, but the first story is very exciting music news. Lady Gaga releases her new album, Chromatica. The 16-track album marks the singer's return to pop seven years after her third studio album, Art Pop, hit the music world.

Okay, this is very exciting. I feel like we've been talking about this story for three months, and to me, it gets no less exciting because the album is here. She just wants the world to dance. And I love this energy that she is putting forth. It's just so crazy to think about because she was one of the first people to delay her album release. And we reported it on it months ago, but like kind of before quarantine, but like in the middle of quarantine of it was like the very beginning of quarantine yeah and we thought like when we got the lady gaga album like we would be out and we got the lady gaga album and we're in we're in some people are out though so i'm happy for those who are able to you know go on a boat

and listen to chromatica um but for us i'll be listening to it in but but I am excited. Like I, I'm grateful for the new music. Like even when rain on me came out last week and I spoke to you soon on the show saying, I didn't know how I felt because I guess I didn't say much other than I didn't know. But like, I now know how I feel about that song and it, I fucking love it. It gets something going in me. And I don't care what the actual lyrics are. They are to me, I'd rather be drunk, but at least I'm alive. They totally are. That is a mood. Jackie, they totally are, I'd rather be drunk, but at least I'm alive.

Because even if you want to argue that it's I'd rather be dry, whoever is singing it says, I'd rather be dry. Like there's a K in there. Yeah. They'd rather be drunk. And maybe it was a Freudian slip, but that's how I heard it. And the song is amazing. And so far,

every single she's put forth is amazing. I have not had time to live with this album yet, but I am so looking forward to spending my weekend with it, giving you a full recap on Monday, but I'm just excited. Um, LG six, we've been waiting for this for a long time,

especially since before this, we had, um, don't, uh, a star is born soundtrack so like that was a mood and before that was joanne so we haven't had this like anthemic lady gaga in quite some time you know what you know what the sign of a great artist is or maybe i'm just such a big fan

but i really like love every genre she releases like some people only stand like the pop lady gaga but i loved the stripped down star is born joanne eras and i love the pop eras too like she really is so multi-talented like she could fucking remember she did tony bennett like she could do anything she can do anything she's everything of the sort and um i'm just really i'm more excited about this than maybe i normally would have been but it's just because like things are exciting in quarantine that like when I have so many sensations going on, I'm so distracted in my real life, I might have not noticed. Do you think now that we're, now that we're like living in quarantine, it's not like a new sensation anymore. We reported a while ago that like Spotify reported like less data in terms of streaming. But now that like quarantine is so much a part of us,

do you think that people releasing albums during quarantine are benefiting from the quarantine or not? Like, I think people releasing TV shows are. I think it depends on the album. Okay. Like it depends on the, well, it always depends. Like if it's a good album, it'll do well. But I think it depends on the mood of the album. Yeah, if Lewis Capaldi came out with an album today, I think it would be phenomenal.

Oh my God, it would be phenomenal. If Kacey Musgraves came out with an album, it would be phenomenal. I have a few of these sad singers who I've just been really enjoying on the Quarantine's playlist. But like the Sam Hunt album came out and I guess he's kind of like a country like summer vibe singer. But like I think his album, at least for me, benefited in quarantine because I've listened to 2016 probably 1,000 times. Me too because it's the first song on your Quarantine's playlist. So it always plays first and that's the only reason like I never would have selected it, but it just always starts the playlist.

So I'm just like going with it. And like Morgan Wallen has been releasing some new songs during quarantine I've just been soaking them up I mean I think the perfect example of a person whose music couldn't have come out at a better time is Brett Eldridge like his album should be called quarantine vibes like it's just so mellow but there's a little like jazz in there so if you're sipping a cocktail on your couch like it really gets the shoulders moving yeah it does i love to talk like a radio host from the 50s gets you moving i know we should do toast radio of the 50s i'm kidding i'm kidding honestly like um that's really like a patreon joke you know because i feel like not everyone knows the joke, but there's just like a lot of stuff going on with Toast Radio. A lot of drama.

Are you ready for our next story? Halsey reveals she's studying for the bar exam while social distancing. Can Kate get that? Yeah. Halsey revealed on Instagram that she's been studying constitutional law while in isolation amid the pandemic. On Instagram, the singer revealed she might be working towards a new career goal when she posted a series of photos from her time spent in isolation amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, including a close-up

of a book on Erwin Chermanisky's constitutional law studies. When a follower asked why she was studying constitutional law in the comments section of the photo, she replied, I'm studying for the bar exam. I just love her. She's so cute. She's recently become like one of my favorite human beings. And this is so cute. Like, I love her, like, following in Kim Kardashian's footsteps. And this is great.

Like, I don't know. I just love it. I just love her. I just only have positive things to say. She's so multi-talented. just love her i just only have positive she's so multi-talented and the next time she performs on snl she's gonna be painting singing dancing and like accusing someone totally that was her snl performance was like crazy and like she was i feel like she for a while like was struggling to be taken seriously as an artist like as a songwriter and when she went on snl she was like just trying

to prove that and they totally like empathize but it was a little bit of a weird performance, but I still liked it. Um, and I just love her. Like, good for her. Keep going, sis. Do what you got to do. Yeah. I love this for her. I actually had such a funny idea. Do you remember when like legit two years ago I was saying I wanted to go to business school? Yeah. So I never like pursued it. I forget what happened. Something just like made me realize that I just wouldn't be a good fit, but I still have this GMAT book right here and I never took a test and I think I should like just take a GMAT test and see where I stand like this weekend. That would just be like hilarious. Yeah. Can you open up the book and just like read me a question?

Sure. Oh my God. Should we do a Patreon episode? Yes. I'm just curious, like what do they ask you in business school? Like how to shake hands? Like here's the book. Oh, it's, it's outdated. It's 2019, but this is for people who haven't gone to business school yet. So it's like the questions should be sort of just like, are you business savvy questions, you know? Right. All right. If you're putting a blender. No, no, no. Okay. I don't even understand the question formats. You have to like read some stuff. Wait, hold on. Those like huge test prep books give me like flashbacks to the worst time in my life. Like waking up at 4am on a Sunday to take the SATs. Like I actually have traumatic like flashbacks. Oh, wow. So many of the SATs. Like, I actually have traumatic, like, flashbacks.

Oh, wow. So many of these things are, like, based on you have to read a passage and then answer questions. Oh, my God. And now there's, like, algebra. Maybe I'm just not cut out for business school. No, part of, like, one of the major benefits from graduating from college is that you never have to go back to school. Like, I refuse. Like, people who go to law school, medical school, like, I respect you, but I don't understand you. Like, I hated school so much. I can't imagine choosing to go to an optional school. Like, there's all these, like, Pythagorean theorems. Pythagorean theorems.

And I just, maybe I was right the second time. Like, business school is not for me. But I think maybe it would just be funny to take a pre-test and, see where I'm at totally she was coughing by the way thank you for not doing that into the microphone okay well I'm muted queen oh nice I'm so proud of Halsey palsy like go get that degree um fabulous i want fabulous that is my sample best all things fabulous bigger and better i need something inspiring to help me get along i need a little fabulous is that so wrong nice okay. Okay. Oh, wait. Are we about to get a chem look?

Oh, sack chemming. That's a good one. He looks so happy. I was loving the sack last night and the night before. Like, he went missing, and we were looking for him, and he had jumped into the sack to go to sleep. I mean, he just loves a romp in the sack. Who doesn't?

Okay, this next story is really crazy, and I feel like you might have not heard it yet because I didn't hear it until this morning. And it's crazy. Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson had an affair and just discovered he has an adult daughter. Honestly, the Robertson family is, like, so controversial. I know, but this is just, like, something from a movie.

The Duck Dynasty family is bigger than they thought. Phil Robertson and his children revealed during the Unashamed podcast on Thursday that the family recently discovered the deeply religious patriarch has an adult daughter. During the podcast, Al, his child, explained that he received a letter from a woman named Phyllis who was 45 and claiming to be his sister. Quote, so basically, it was from a woman who said that by a DNA search, she thinks that dad might be her dad, Al said, adding that he had dismissed the letters at first because the woman's birthday was after the time Phil had become a Christian in the 70s. Phil has previously admitted to being a philanderer prior to finding Jesus. However, it appears his daughter was conceived just before

he devoted himself to the church. Phil married his wife Kay, known as Miss Kay, in 1966. The pair remained married. This is like major drama in the Christian community. Yeah, major drama. I used to watch Duck Dynasty like way before they got famous. I just thought they were so interesting and weird. And then they became this like polarizing family. And I honestly can't believe that this happened and be that they

didn't try and cover it up. Honestly, respect. Yeah. At this point, like when she's a 45 year old woman, like it's, and she found them probably like through 23andMe. It's just like interesting, you know, the kind of like the scandal of it is like taken away when it was 45 years ago. And you're more just like, oh, wow, there's this person on the planet who is, you know, my sibling. Let's talk to them. It depends on how you feel about it. But I feel like that's how they feel about it if they're talking about it on a podcast. Yeah.

This is just so shocking. You're right. I did not hear about this but i'm so glad you brought it up i don't think we talked about the robertson family enough on the show no i mean i never watched struck dynasty so who am i to say but we did have i think it was maybe phil or the older one not phil phil's dad when we had him on the cma red carpet what oh my god no jackie we spoke to phil we did no we didn't i think we spoke to this no willie is the like the he's not the oldest one but he's like the most famous one i think he's like the thirstiest for fame he has he's like a little heavier and he has

curly like shoulder length hair okay we spoke to sadie's grandpa sigh sigh okay yes because we were telling him about so much alike yeah i we were telling him about sadie's i keep kicking the trash can right and he didn't know about it but it makes sense he's just the grandpa like he's not her dad oh my god honestly my memory's so bad like the fact that i don't know that we spoke to a member of the Robertson family is bad. Like I, that's why we can never get into a fight. Like we need to be sisters forever because you need to remind me of the life we lived. I'm here to do it. Like I'm, I'm here. Like we'll be on our deathbed and you'll be like, remember when we spoke to Robertson? And I'm like, no, we didn't Jackie. But we did. We were talking last night and I, like, told you a memory of maybe something someone said or did or you, I forget.

But it was just like you had no, like, it was news to you. Something like crazy that happened. My life is so exciting because people, like, tell me things that happen or that I said or I did. And it's brand new news to me. Like, I'm genuinely, like, shocked. Like, I've never heard it before. So it's like I get to live my life multiple times that I said or I did. And it's brand new news to me. Like I'm genuinely like shocked. Like I've never heard it before. So it's like,

I get to live my life multiple times. I think that's fabulous. Oh, I remember what it was. What? It was something to do. It was like a business thing about advice that someone gave you two years ago. Someone who should have been giving you good advice,

gave you like the worst advice. And you were like, it was news to you that someone could give you such a terrible one yeah that's funny yeah that was funny okay next up um new couple alert and i need to get your thoughts on it because nina dobrev and sean white have made their instagram debut with a quarantine hair crud i saw this and they were like they confirmed their relationship but i didn't even know there was questions like i didn't even know it was a Quarantine hair crud. I saw this and they were like, they confirmed their relationship, but I didn't even know there was questions.

Like I didn't even know it was a possibility. Me neither. And it's like, where's the rumor mill when there's something interesting like this? You know, the rumor mill is just constantly churning. Like are Cole and Lily together? Are they not together? But like Nina Doberman and Sean White were maybe dating this whole time they're quarantining together and like no one thought to tell us. Totally. All right. Hit me with the news. The couple made

their debut on social media together on Thursday with posts showing the Vampire Diaries actress giving the Olympic gold medalist a haircut. Adding to resume hairdresser she wrote in the caption of her photo with white in the snap she holds up a pair of scissors i mean the things they'll do for word count just like describing a photo i can't i'm just kidding um he posted his own photo saying my hairstylist said he wouldn't so she did um so it's basically they just did a haircut it looks actually pretty good the duo first sparked dating rumors back in march when they were spotted riding bikes together in malibu i guess like maybe we took that day off and we missed it i don't know yes okay i feel so many different ways about this because i'm gonna say something crazy i don't know if this is like a popular opinion or not popular opinion but like i think nina dobra is so annoying

okay i don't really think about nina doro because all of her things that like made her famous are just things that I don't watch, just really vampire diaries. But then I see her like on Instagram all the time and I feel like she's a really good friend because she's always like on people's bachelorette parties. And like, I feel like she has a really good friend of people in Hollywood and that's not something that you see all the time. So I actually think that she's like a real one, but I could see how she comes off as annoying on Instagram. But like, I think that her, her friendships like speak volumes. That's a good point. Maybe I'm just so like still hung up on that terrible costume she did at the Casamigos party where she was a star is born, like searching for an Oscar. Like that was so not funny. And if you're going to do

something like kind of outrageous at a Hollywood costume party and have your costume be about Hollywood, like if you're going to take that risk, it has to nail, it just has to be perfect. And it was far from that. Maybe I'm still upset about that. Yeah. Now that you mentioned it, like, yes, I have a bad taste in my mouth, but I'm going to, I'm going to choose to like, push that down, suppress that, and focus on the friendships.

And the fact that, like, this is a really interesting coupling for her, one that I am tempted to build a little ship for. Oh, I have absolutely no temptation to do that. Like, I'll see where it goes. I have heard that Sean White is, like, so scary and mean. So, like, I don't know. You have? Mm-hmm. He just, like, seems intense. So, like, I don't know. You have? Mm-hmm. He just, like, seems intense, but, like, I don't know.

I like that she's just, like, thinking outside the box in terms of people to date. Well, I'm also happy that, like, maybe this will catapult her out of, like, the only Hollywood storyline she's ever had, which is that the guy she was dating from Vampire Diaries, like, ran away with someone else. And, like, she still gets dragged into that drama. Nikki Reed.

Yeah, and Ian Somerhalder. Yeah, so it's like, they're so in love, they've been married forever. And it's like, he was dating Nina right before he was married to Nikki. And she's, like, the Jen Aniston. Like, it's, like, it's her whole life. Like, all she does is get dragged back into this love triangle, which I'm sure she doesn't, like, actually care about anymore. So I'm glad that we're talking about her about something else.

Like for that, I'm happy for her. I'm sure this is like a huge weight off her shoulders. Yeah, I guess. I don't know. I'm just here for it. It just wasn't what I was expecting this morning. And I love like being surprised in like a not harmful way. Yeah, exactly.

Okay. Fifth and final story. A little not like stuff news I don't even know what to call it anymore it's like what it's just like news about stuff miscellaneous news miscellaneous news miss a lady is news oh I like that miscellaneous news news okay you need to start recording these missile Miscellaneous news. I'm going to do a voice note really quickly so that we have it. We don't forget the jingle.

A little miscellaneous news. I just have the worst voice. And, like, when I listen to that back, my ears are going to bleed. Miscellaneous news. This is beautiful, Claudia. This is beautiful claudia that's beautiful okay cvs health tell tests self-driving vehicle prescription delivery i actually think this is a great idea which is why i chose it cvs health will try delivering prescriptions with self-driving vehicles in a test that begins next month the drugstore chain said thursday that it will partner

with the silicon valley robotics company neuro to deliver medicines and other products to customers near a Houston area store. A CVX spokesperson said the prescriptions will routinely be delivered within an hour of being ordered. Customers will have to confirm their identity in order to unlock their delivery after the vehicle arrives. Neuro has previously started partnerships to test the delivery of pizzas for Domino's or groceries for Kroger, also in the Houston area. This is the company's first venture into healthcare. To me, this is just the future. I'm reading about the future, and I'm here for the future.

Yeah, I mean, delivery is everything of the sort, but going and picking up prescriptions is notoriously one of the worst things. It's like going to the DMV. It's never ready. There's always a line. It's just a really unpleasant experience. Even when it goes smoothly, there's always something they can't find your insurance. Like there's just so much drama. And then it's like in the bin for, Oh, for Ashley, but she can't find it. Like there's always some drama. No. And like get, I actually have to pick up a prescription for Zach today. And it's just like a thorn in my side, but also like getting

your prescription is usually a days-long process because you have to call it in then they won't have it ready till tomorrow morning but turns out they have it ready that night but like if you knew that i guess in quarantine it's different because like if you knew you could go that night like you would have planned to leave the house um so you go the next day but then something comes up so then go in the next day and they keep calling you leaving messages your prescriptions ready you're and you're like i fucking know i'm just trying to like find the time to come and sometimes like doctors take a very sweet amount of time to call it in when it's like you're dying you just

need your antibiotics and they're just like moseying down to the phone like it's on their list of things to do it's not a priority and i'm like ready to pick it up and they're like we didn't get anything yet it's just so dramatic yeah and there needs to be like two types of prescriptions like sometimes i need to call in my headache pills, but like I have a few days before I'm going to need them. But sometimes like you're sick and you need your medicine, like ASAP, there needs to be like the Evergreen prescription and the ASAP prescription, you know? There needs to be an urgent line and a not urgent line because I will never forget the last time I had strep throat was probably the worst case of strep throat, probably in the history of medicine. I'm telling you, it was

horrible. Literally, I couldn't even get to the doctor for a few days because I couldn't move. I literally thought I was going to die. And at one point I wanted to be dead just so the pain would stop. And I finally get my ass to the doctor and I'm in line at the pharmacy, like holding a few things. Like I bought a heating pad and like a bunch of random shit. And there was such a long line and I'm literally at the back of the line, sobbing, screaming, like literally in my head. I'm like, move. I was miserable. There needs to be. And there was just people there like picking up refills. Like not every prescription pickup is like the most urgent thing. There should be an urgent line. is like the most urgent thing.

There should be an urgent line. Yeah, I agree. Well, this seems like the future, and I'm here for it, and I'm also here for self-driving cars, because that means one day I could get in the front seat of a car. So, very excited about that. Those are the past five stories that you needed to know this morning, and now I need to hear kelly's mindless news i'm so glad you asked jackie in today's segment of kelly's mindless news like the fourth of july

by the way okay when you sing it i don't hear the correlation to shower but then i had it it's kel fuck let me know kelly's mindless news like the 4th of July. Whenever you're around. Yeah, yeah, I got it. So you were wrong is what you're saying. No, it was just like you were confusing me. But so you get it. So I was right.

I'm just double checking. You had a point, but you weren't properly making it. Listen, multiple times a day on the show, I always tell you you're right. Just, like, give me this one. Okay. You were right. You were right. You were right.

Okay. Inside, like, this was just like. In today's segment, Kelly's Mindless News, I don't know how you could go into your weekend without knowing that Kelly Ripa recalled hilarious 7-Up hair mishap before her high school prom. According to E! News, Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest just won Throwback Thursday. The Live with Kelly and Ryan co-hosts are celebrating prom this year

with a very special treat. In recent months, many students had had their proms canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, and now Kelly and Ryan want to make it up to them. And let me just say, they're so grateful. So the co-hosts are throwing a Lives at Home prom. That is a terrible name. Yeah.

It's airing tomorrow, well, today. On Friday's episode, Kelly and Ryan will be joined by Jersey Shore star Pauly D, who will provide the music for the celebration. TikTok star Addison Rae will also join in on the fun and share a special dance for the occasion. And the pop band AJR, never heard of them, will perform their new single. And in celebration of the occasion, Kelly and Ryan are also sharing personal stories from their own high school prom. This is Kelly's high school prom memory. My memory of my prom, Rye, you will appreciate this. I was setting my hair and I really, really, really wanted curly hair for the prom. It was the 80s after all, so it was like

big New Jersey hair. And I was setting my hair with these spongy pink rollers for extra curl, and I was dipping my comb in water because I like to set it at night so that when I woke up in the morning it was super curly. But it turns out Kelly wasn't dipping her comb in water because I like to set it at night so that when I woke up in the morning it was super curly. But it turns out Kelly wasn't dipping her hair in the water. What I didn't realize was I was dipping my comb into a cup of 7-Up. I didn't realize that it was a cup of 7-Up. I thought it was a cup of water. And so when I took my hair out of the pink foamy sponge rollers and went to comb through it, the proof is in the pudding.

Listen, I couldn't get a comb through it for days. I'm like, wow. I just want to say, if you sleep with soda in your hair, like, obviously it's not ideal, but you take a shower and, like, it's fine. It's soda. Also, like, it's good. Your hair doesn't move. Isn't that what you wanted?

Right. No, totally. I just, like, I just, I I want the point of Kelly's Mindless News is to just point out the sheer volume of idiotic stories that are written about Kelly Ripa every day. And I guess it's, maybe I can't blame her. Maybe it's due largely to the fact that she does a show every day and she like always is like sharing. So when you're a journalist, like looking for things to write about celebrities like it's easy to go to the person who's talking for an hour a day. But no. There are so many people who do daily shows who share like tidbits

about their life every single day. Like that's literally the point of like these morning shows. I'm not getting like Jenna Bush Hager's mindless news. That's true.

I'm not getting Hoda Coppy's mindless news. Yeah, it's true. Not even getting Ryan Seacrest's mindless news. Yeah, he was like his ryan seacrest mindless news yeah he was like his prom story was like shoved to the bottom of the article i didn't even get to it i wonder

what it was i feel like it was probably like and by the way if you're gonna give us a prom story like give us something juicy what happened at the actual prom um can we talk about rahoni because it was i have a lot to say yes please let's first of all i just need to give a shout out to the setting because for me oh that's what i was gonna say being in my cage looking out at the beautiful vistas of the rhode island cliffs um somewhere that i absolutely must go to the castle hill inn um if they would you know have us i would love to be there those girls behind the desk seemed like toasters and if you are like the way they were like trying to smile and not smile when dorinda and everyone walked in um i just felt like they obviously like are fans of the show and therefore I feel like

they're twisters and um I would love to be a guest at the Castle Hill Inn um invite me I'll be there um it just looked so beautiful and like there's nowhere else in the world that I would rather be more right now than the Castle Hill Inn. Yeah. It was really like rubbing in my face, like a life that I'll never have. And that was really hard on my stomach. It was stunning. Who even knew there were such beautiful coastlines like that on the East Coast? No, it's, it was really beautiful. And I'll probably take a trip there. Even, I think I would have like been jealous of it, even if it wasn't quarantine, but obviously quarantine heightened my jealousy but let's get into it because the big

story of the episode was Leah and her sister and to me like I totally respected that like if I was in a group of new women and I was like can I bring my sister like obviously that just makes me feel more comfortable like for a million reasons I would have wanted to bring my sister and I I guess it is in the housewife setting like a non-traditional thing to do. Like, it's cast trips. So I get why Ramona was hesitant. But at the end of the day, like, it was obviously important enough to Leah to, like, ask more than once. Like, just let it go.

Yeah. And Leah brings a lot to this show already, like, just being six episodes in. And I think that, like, it's like if Tinsley had asked to bring her sister, it would have been a hard no. But, like, when it's Leah, it's just different. And I understood, like, where the women were coming from because like that is really uncharted

territory like this is a cast trip not a sister's trip but like yeah I don't know it's like to me as someone who like my sister is just like an extension of my body like I would be the same way like whenever we go on friend trips I'm, my sisters are just like invited if they felt like coming, you know? So I'm like, I am. My friends trips are my sisters. Right.

So like I am Malia in that situation. Like if my friends were planning a trip, like it would be obvious that like, maybe my sisters might be coming, but I also understand like how the women were like, wait, what? But when it comes to. It wasn't that weird.

You can continue. It wasn't that weird because honestly elise feels like a stranger so it's like there's one stranger there already like what's two right agreed i haven't seen her apartment like i don't know anything about this woman why is she the last one to be giving relationship advice like tell me something about her i don't fucking know yeah when she was making sonia and ramona laugh in the back of the car like doing an impersonation of dorinda like she thought she was going to be the most famous Bravo person ever.

She was going to sell merch. I could see it in her eyes. Like she thought that this was the funniest piece of comedy ever written. And she's going to be a star after this. And after tonight's episode, I just hate her so much for so many reasons. The whole episode to me was so hypocritical

because of all the franchises in all the cities. Like the real houses in New York have been embarrassments in social settings for years and leah like got way too drunk at a private party like who fucking cares like honestly the way dorinda acted at that billionaire's house in the hamptons was so abhorrent the way dorinda acted at that dinner with bethany in miami last season like nobody blinks an eye but it's like leah gets drunk and like puts her leg in the air at a private party and all of a sudden we're just shocked and embarrassed and clutching our pearls yeah i totally agree when you're in a private setting like you can do whatever you want honestly her drunk antics were a pleasure to watch like she was just like a hilarious like

having fun obviously like expending energy and like getting her emotions out. Um, but nothing worse than what any of the women have done. Also, it's so funny how like when she is drunk, like everyone has like a drunk alter ego, but she just goes into like destruction mode, like the flowers, the drapes, like she just claws at everything. And, um, I understand why she paused on her drinking for a few years, but the women are no one to even bat an eye. No, it's so hypocritical. And part of me is so torn because last week I sat here and I just really went in on Dorinda because she's such a hypocrite

and she really goes for the jugular, but she was being the only one who was being like, she was just being logical and she was really taking Leah's side. And even Tinsley, who was her friend, like wasn't really sticking up for her. But Tinsley's just not that type of girl. Dorinda was like really being defensive of Leah. And I was really appreciative of it because these girls are so hypocritical. I saw it a little differently. I thought Tinsley was a good friend because she was not embarrassed by Leah whatsoever. She was having fun with her and she did not like add to the drama at all.

I felt like Dorinda was living for what Leah was doing because it's typically Dorinda who's that person. And the more she can like justify and make excuses for Leah's behavior, the more whatever she does seems okay. Also, that's a Dorinda said the most hypocritical thing I've ever heard when she was like, Dorinda, sorry, Leah is 20 years younger than us. Like, we shouldn't be condemning her. We should be lifting her up and guiding her and not being judgmental. Take exactly what you said and apply it to Tinsley. Totally. That's such a good point.

That's actually a great point. But I was just glad someone was being outspoken for leah because like she was just get when she woke up the next morning like the judgment was elise is out of control and then bringing up her daughter like well what would you do if your daughter your daughter your daughter your daughter and it didn't it wasn't before she said the daughter thing like four times that leah finally got upset like what an unreasonable and disgusting thing to say and i just dislike elise so much I agree and also I will say for Dorinda I was grateful that she was defending Leah also because if Tinsley's the only

one defending Leah like Tinsley like can barely defend herself and stand on her own two feet like she's no one to be advocating for anybody else but like Dorinda is a heavy hitter in this group and like if Dorinda says you're okay then Ramona and Sonia will respect that also my desk is like so dusty like I have to wipe it down because I have like dust flying like my nose has been itching like I think it's getting into my mouth right now like it's just like this dusty city I can't um also I'm loving Luann's positioning on these episodes because she's really like

staying above everything. But you can tell that she likes Leah and has like a warm place in her heart for her and is always, and is like gonna have her back

if push comes to shove. Yeah, Luann has found a way to not be in the nitty gritty but not be boring, which is very hard to do because if you're not really involved in the drama, like I'm not really interested, but I actually look forward to what Luann has to say.

And she's so funny, like in her own weird countess way that, that she, it works for her. It doesn't work for everyone. Yeah, I agree. And I mean,

she's not really got up from the table and was wanting to tell Leah that her sister couldn't come. And she saw that Leah was like so drunk and emotional. She was like so excited. Like her and Sonia were like, let's go tell her. Like to me, that's evil. Yeah. And also like whether, however you feel about Leah's sister coming or not coming, like whenever

Ramona said she can come, like you just can't go back on that. And even if you regret what you said, like what's the big deal? If you don't want to talk to this girl, then just don't talk to her. Like, there's plenty of other women there. It doesn't really matter if she comes or not. And, like, I don't get it. So the social media drama afterwards was between Ramona, Avery, and Leah. Leah was just going in on Ramona last night just for being so hypocritical.

Like, honestly, if Leah wasn't, like, drunk and and running around what would the episode have been about yeah so Avery was Instagram storing her and her mom on the couch watching and Avery was like showing the videos of Leah like on the grass like with her legs in the air and was like mom I cannot believe you're associated with this this is so embarrassing oh my god mom you're like the voice of reason. Like really being super judgmental and making it seem like Leah's behavior is somehow, you know, a disadvantage to the life of a child. Because Avery's 25, but she's like a kid and kids are supposed to be off limits. But it's like, look, you're embarrassing Ramona's children. What embarrassing about Leah's behavior like she was just like jumping around laying on the floor like it's not I don't think she was doing anything particularly inappropriate

like it was a lot it was it was crazy but I don't I mean and a 25 year old like I'm sure that you drink as well like things get crazy and if you're just like clawing at the flowers like and like doing somersaults on the floor I don't get the big deal in the grand scheme of like what you can do when you're drunk so Leah responded and she's like Avery's 25 she's not a child she's fair game so Ramona if you really want to go at it let's fucking go it was crazy oh that's crazy it seems like in irl leah and ramona are just not yeah it maybe gets worse throughout the season because right now in real life they are not friends yeah i feel that i mean like ramona her drinking like i'm your mom i'm your no you're not no you're not. I agree. It was, it's just like, it's coming from her. It's, no.

Sorry, I had to sneeze. Agreed. But it was a good episode. It was better than ones that we've seen in the past. And they're still in Newport next week. And there's more drama. Leah said on her Instagram that Ramona shits her pants next week. So I'm looking forward to seeing that.

Wow, that is exciting. It was a good episode. It was really chaotic. I loved the setting. Maybe like I've been hard on the Real Housewives of New York because they're in New York City and I just like don't even want to hear myself. Yeah. And I'm just like everything that's going on, like that goes on in the city. Like I'm just not interested. But when the minute they left the city, I'm just not interested but when the minute they left the city I'm like oh who are these women fabulous they were looking fabulous like their fall Newport attire was everything of the sort like honestly Dorinda in that oversized cashmere v-neck sweater with the matching scarf like that was eleganza extravaganza I agree I thought the same thing about Dorinda's look. It was perfectly situated for the situation. And I also love that Leah brings a young style to the show. Yeah, I loved all of her outfits. I loved her hat. I loved everything that she was wearing. I think she looked really great.

And Dorinda was actually my style icon of the episode. Never thought I'd hear you say that, but I completely concur. That's funny that you noticed that too, that cream sweater with the white. I love like a winter white on white. I never have done it in my life, but I like when other people do it. Me too. It was great. Speaking of TV, the season finale of RuPaul's Drag Race is on tonight, and I will definitely

be discussing on Monday. So make sure to tune in. I was just reminded of that when i started to scream eleganza extravaganza um justice for gg good i hope that she wins but i have a feeling she won't and that's it anything else you want to say before we wrap up sis no that's all she wrote if you want more content this weekend head over to patreon.com slash the morning toast we have five episodes up for the month of may but if you're a new patron you get access to a whole gamut of them.
