Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Tuesday that feels like a Monday, but it's not because it's actually a Tuesday, which is so great for us. So great for us. So sensational. We absolutely love to see it. How was your long weekend? Well, thank you so much for asking. Thank you guys for giving me the space that I needed. I needed this Monday off because, like I said, I had a wedding on Sunday night. And I was actually thinking at the wedding how I want to talk about this on the toast because you guys know I hate weddings like and I'll honestly RSVP no to most weddings but this might have been without the exception of like family weddings because of course that's like always the best night I think it was my favorite wedding I'd ever been to do you think it's because it was the first in so long and everyone was so excited to be there and that helped the the vibes were just so excited that definitely helped because it was the first wedding like back.
Starting point is 00:00:46 But I always say like a wedding is not so much about like the decor and the ambience as it is about the couple. And this was just like a great couple who like really loved each other, been together forever. Their friends are best friends with each other. So it was just like great energy.
Starting point is 00:00:59 And the wedding itself was also like stunning and elegant, which didn't hurt. So it was just like my favorite wedding I've been to in a while. I always find myself like so bored at weddings like counting down the clock like to when it's not rude to leave that's so funny weddings are so fun it's like one it's an excuse to get so dressed up which we never ever get that dressed up to like the music's always amazing like live music all your friends there's just so much fun yeah like I guess like it should be something I enjoy maybe
Starting point is 00:01:25 it's just because I'm such a narcissist like I just can't they can only spend a certain amount of time like it being about someone else like maybe that's actually it if I was a therapist like that is what I might suggest to myself I don't think that's what it is I do think that all of the activities are not Claudia friendly no it's like so much standing and like you'll get your food until like four hours until you're actually there. It's like we have to get all dressed up. Yeah, right. I have to listen to a singer who's not me. Yeah, actually, they had amazing music too that definitely contributed to the positive vibes.
Starting point is 00:01:52 And it was just like a wonderful evening. And I just, I don't know if my opinion on weddings has changed completely. Post-pandemic, you mean? Post-pandemic. But I really am now even more kind of cemented in my belief. Like I'm very particular about where I RSVP, you okay okay it was a great time it was a great weekend stunning weather I couldn't have been luckier oh and that's the other thing it was like kind of chilly which like I was living for you know yeah yeah and it really just kind of I didn't sweat at all and that's
Starting point is 00:02:17 always with the weddings inside the sweating and the heels like it just gets to a point where I'm like I have had enough of being tortured by this couple. Happy for you. I have to leave. Also, I've noticed that post-pandemic, my heel tolerance is back at zero. Like I can't wear heels for more than 30 minutes. Like all of the blisters and the muscles that I had built up in my feet wearing heels over the years. Like when I put on a pair of heels after the year and a half, like my feet can't handle it. That's why I'm always wearing flats.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Also, our first sponsor of the day is the brand that I wore to the wedding and I got literally so many compliments and I was so proud of myself. I usually make it to the dance floor for 30 minutes before I'm that girl who's like walking around in the flip-flops. Oh I hate that. I hate being that girl. I hate the look of like your dress and the flip-flops and like I. See it's tough. It's tough. I made it not only to the car I made it all the way up to my home. We drove back. It was like an hour and a half drive. Literally, I made it to my front door.
Starting point is 00:03:10 They were the most comfortable shoes I'd ever worn. Oh, my God. From today's sponsor. Just wait until you find out who it is. I think you should share the sponsor now because I need to know. I mean, I know, but you need to know. It's Shoe Dazzle. Okay, first of all, they sent over their looks.
Starting point is 00:03:22 They have some of the most sickening shoes. I was obsessed with the ones that I got. I wore them to the wedding. So comfortable. Never got more compliments on anything in my entire life. Wow. They're so affordable. My dress, I spent so much money on.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Nobody looked at me twice. My shoes, shoe dazzle. Everyone was quaking. I got three pairs of shoe dazzle shoes a few weeks ago. Their looks for this season are so goddamn cute. So pleeny. So on trend. So on trend so on trend so comfortable so affordable tell them where they can get their shoe dazzle okay take a quick style survey for personalized outfit recommendations on shoe dazzle.com and you can shop from hundreds
Starting point is 00:03:56 of styles that are curated just for you you can choose to check out as a guest or become a vip member which honestly given how many sickening styles there are, I would recommend becoming a VIP member just because why have to choose, you know, just get all the shoes. And the perks of becoming a VIP member are you can save up to 30% all day, every day, and you get early and exclusive access to new styles, collections, collaborations, VIP executive sales, and promotions. They do sickening collabs with different people, but like the stuff that they have up now, like seriously, perfect for summer, so affordable. And it's just like I was I was shook not gonna lie
Starting point is 00:04:28 like when I got these pair of shoes I'm like these are perfect for the wedding and they're so affordable so go to shoe dazzle.com slash toast if you want to get started become a VIP member or shop um as a guest but I think VIP is the way to go. ShoeDazzle.com slash toast. Sorry, I didn't mean to just like push the sponsor in there, but it was so appropriate. I miss the days when like we would talk about the sponsor and then just like share the sponsor. It's just so organic.
Starting point is 00:04:54 We're so naturally and like stunningly authentic. So since you were already talking about it, I think that like everyone else would have been RDH if you didn't share. I got so many comments like, where are the shoes from? Yeah, ShoeDazzle. ShoeDazzle. Become a VIP member member i had such a productive great weekend like so much fun was had so much content was consumed tv read so much like i have so much to share with you that i watch and i read are you ready for it 100 friday night i watch in the heights yes i know i need to
Starting point is 00:05:21 see it so good i think you'll really like it I never saw the play but Zach hadn't he loved the play so he was so excited to watch it the music is so good the dancing everything the only thing is it was really long and so I don't know how I might be out you might be out or maybe you'll have to like break it up that's like the one thing that you could have said like because like a musical I'm so down it was longer than anything I've ever watched in my life that's really annoying I think it was as long as the Titanic, I swear. No. Okay, then I finished the book, A Woman Before Wallace. I would not recommend it.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Then I read another book, The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth, who also wrote Mother-in-Law, which Claudia loved Mother-in-Law. I did. I liked it, and I loved The Good Sister, and I would recommend it to everyone. If you liked Verity, I think you're really going to like The Good Sister. Wow, our lights just went out over here. Oh, our sign? It's okay. The neon sign. It's fine. Or were they never on? Oh, we have a remote. Oh, wow. We are living in the future. We are Xenon, the 21st century gal.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Let there be light. Okay, so I finished two books. I started Why Women Kill. Oh, do you love it? Loving it. Loving it so much and like I'm watching before bed and I missed having a show that I like so much. There's not that much on the streaming service. One season and then two seasons of the new episode. Two episodes of the new season. That's more than enough for me because I don't want to like be watching tv all day. Oh can't relate. And then I watched Housewife and the Hustler which we're going to talk about today as a story because it's actual news what's going on with this story. And I'm so beyond shocked.
Starting point is 00:06:47 I watched it as well. My perspective has changed now that I actually understand what happened. Yes. And I'm so disgusted. Me too. Disgusted. Yeah. So I'm really looking forward to talk about that.
Starting point is 00:06:58 We have so much to talk about today. Yeah, I mean, I don't really have any content recap because I was just basically like you know being social the whole weekend which is new for me you were putting out a lot of content and it's like Claude with no job only wakes up when you're out of the city on vacation what the hell am I gonna take a picture of me in my bed that's where I am all the time no I know but it's just like it's so funny no I know I'm not like a consistent poster on Claude with no job which is my personal Instagram account make sure to follow it only when she's on vacation only when I look pretty like I'm not gonna torture everyone i seriously like monday to friday i i'm here and i work from and then i work from home all my photos on my instagram page are from
Starting point is 00:07:35 here like i can't do anything i understand like this is the struggle for us i came alive you come alive once i hit that midtown tunnel or the the Holland Tunnel Claude with no job starts levitating like she comes to life yeah we love to see her we really do she was churning out some premium content yeah she works like she's so fabulous I think I might do like a photo dump that's like my new favorite trend I love it on Instagram because first of all I'm not gonna post 10 times but you do have like 10 pictures and I feel like it's a really cute thing to do at the end of a long weekend you have all these photos you don't have to edit every single one of them like with a preset you just the first one yeah so I actually really like this trend
Starting point is 00:08:10 I hope we keep doing it no I like it a lot and I agree okay good I'm so glad we're on the same dump page yeah we've never talked about it but I just love taking a photo dump no taking dumps is like literally one of my favorite activities I could do it multiple times a day. I'm sure that you do. I wish I would. Okay, well, are you ready to get into everything? Yes. Because there's so much to discuss. The Chrissy Teigen.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Like, we have literally mountains to climb. Mountains to climb. And so I think we should just jump right in. The water's warm. I think we should dive off the deep end. Oh, that's a thing. You know, I'm over a spoiler. What, from TikTok?
Starting point is 00:08:44 No, from A Quiet Place. Oh, I'm not going to watch it, so that's fine. Okay, if you saw A Quiet Place, thing you know I'm over a spoiler from TikTok no from A Quiet Place oh I'm not gonna watch it so that's fine okay if you saw A Quiet Place then you know this wow yeah if you were listening as a podcast I did a hand gesture I can't um you can't replicate it yeah okay without further ado where are you not here because we're doing something really fun after this that's just like do would be way too chaotic oh yes I think maybe maybe you guys know because we've just kind of been like you know so subtle in our promotion but there are big things coming this week big things yeah and we're we're shooting something really fun today so we're excited so you probably know what it is yeah but whatever we're just so subtle like by the way it's

Starting point is 00:09:46 Like we've been designed, we've been working on this project for like literally this particular one for like eight months. And I've been wanting to talk about it since the day we started. No, I know. I think we could just share what it is. Yeah, we're dropping merch. We are dropping merch this week that is literally our favorite stuff that we've ever dropped. And we're going to take some really cute pictures today.
Starting point is 00:10:03 If you've been following us on social, we've been doing like a little you know oh just me just like a little you know you know a little Claudia loves a teaser I do I just love to be the one to like you know drop the news yeah and I'm happy for you so that'll be coming in a few days so yeah so just stay tuned for that also speaking of amazing things Patreon is popping off yes yesterday we posted a general Q&A where we answered all of your guys's questions or as many as we can get to about like you know our show our lives the show the future just like random questions that you guys have for us which was really fun and we posted a vlog of getting snitch ready for a date which everyone thought
Starting point is 00:10:39 was so funny. It was so I loved it like I wasn't there you filmed it I watched it it was like the highlight of my day. It was so funny. And didn't she look amazing? Well, maybe that's why it was so enjoyable to watch because like the last vlog we did together, like you were getting me ready and I was like so chaotic and I looked so fat and ugly. And like Margot's just like, oh, I just got this like new, you know, little body suit. Let me just put it on. Stunning model. Oh, let me just run some blush through my cheeks. Stunning model. Oh, let me just grab my purple shoes from Zara. Stunning model. Like it was just so some blush through my cheeks, stunning model. Oh let me just grab my purple shoes from Zara, stunning model. Like it was just so easy and she wore the first thing she picked out. Like who does that? It was a
Starting point is 00:11:10 joy. A dream! Yeah I looked like the ugly troll. Okay now without further ado where are you? Not here because we're doing something. Oh my god. That's how that all started. Yeah thanks for bringing it back. Here are the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast. And as we already said today's episode is brought to you by ShoeDazzle.com. ShoeDazzle.com slash toast. Check it out. Do not sleep on Shoe Dazzle. I've been upping my shoe game and Shoe Dazzle has come in the clutch. And I just want to say I'm very pro sleep. Like I think you should sleep on most things not not shoe dazzle. I agree. Okay, first story, big news of the weekend. Chrissy Teigen drama continues to unfold. She put out an apology blog post on Medium yesterday where she apologized for the past things that she had
Starting point is 00:11:57 tweeted and messaged to young girls many years ago. Right, we haven't spoken about this yet. We honestly just don't care about her, but it become like such a big story that like we should talk about it and for those who don't like know she had tweets they're still up and I think people have known about them for a while but like this kind of um story gained a lot of momentum recently where she was just like saying some really horrible things to Courtney Stodden mostly also Lindsay Lohan at the time who were just like, you know, young girls in the spotlight saying like really aggressively vile things.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Like not really so much even as jokes, just like basically telling them to work, meaning telling them to kill themselves. Some of them were disguised as jokes, like one about Lindsay Lohan. Every time she sees Emma Stone on a red carpet, she puts another slit in her wrist, which is so disgusting. Um, she told Courtney Stodden to like take a dirt nap, go to sleep forever.
Starting point is 00:12:54 So people were really, really upset by this. And, you know, as it goes, things started to happen. The cancellation of Chrissy Teigen, brands pulling out her cookware line, it was pulled out of Target. She's been radio silent for a while. Yeah, for about a month. And then yesterday she wrote a blog post on Medium where she apologized for her actions and her past tweets. And that's, you thought, would be the end of it. But before we dive into the end of it, can we just talk about her post quickly? Yeah, sure. Because, you know, I actually relate to this story. I have
Starting point is 00:13:25 tweeted things that I deeply regret. And I actually think part of her essay was really well said. And I just related to it a lot. Like she'll like be in the middle of the night, get like a stabbing pain in her back, remembering something horrible she said. Like I actually really related to that. But I think what I did not like about the apology is it felt at times like very lighthearted, like making jokes. Like it felt like my own very lighthearted like making jokes like it felt like my own episode of my name is Earl like this is not the time for jokes Chrissy like this is actually serious like I just felt like it teetered between being genuine and then like almost like being too lighthearted and like making a mockery of it yeah I can I can see that well then what happened last
Starting point is 00:13:59 night was Michael Costello posted on his Instagram he is a designer if you don't know him he was on Project Runway and now he has a line at Revolve and he claims that Chrissy Teigen bullying him left him suicidal. So he shared a story saying, for the past seven years, I've lived with a deep unhealed trauma. He said that in 2014, Teigen, quote, apparently formed her own opinion of me based on a photoshopped comment floating around the internet, which has now been proven to be false by Instagram and since taken down he said he attempted to explain the mix-up which apparently made it seem as if he'd used a racial slur to Teagan who claims who he claims quote told me that my career was over and that all doors would be shut from there on so he shares DMs where he's like Chrissy please call me like I need to explain this is not this is by a
Starting point is 00:14:42 disgruntled employee like I never said that when this like thing happened to Michael Costello's in 2014 Chrissy Teigen commented on his post racist and it kind of blew up this like little story that like one of his employees was sending around like a fake Instagram comment of his so Chrissy Teigen like blew it up and so he reached out to her and was like wait please let me explain like it's not what it looks like and she responded read what exactly what she responded. She responded racist people like you deserve to suffer and die. You might as well be dead. Your career is over. Just watch.
Starting point is 00:15:11 So he goes on to claim that the fashion industry colleagues and friends told him that Tegan and her stylist Monica Rose, I'm sure you remember that name. The thief, remember? She was stealing from the Kardashians and then the Kardashians fired her. And Kris sent out an email to everyone. And everyone in their circle like fired Monica Rose except Chrissy Teigen. So he said that they
Starting point is 00:15:27 had allegedly gone out of their way to threaten people and brands that if they were in any shape or form associated with me they would not work with any of them.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Each time I have pleaded with Chrissy Teigen or Monica Rose to see the whole story before believing a false narrative a former disgruntled employee cast upon me
Starting point is 00:15:41 they don't give me the time of day. He said after that I didn't see the point of living there was no way I can ever escape from being the target of the powerful elites in Hollywood he said I am not okay I may never be okay but today I am choosing to speak my truth so when you and I we were together when we saw this yeah and we were actually saying because I mean there's no way to prove that Monica Rose and Chrissy Teigen were blackballing him like he says
Starting point is 00:16:04 that I mean but I believe him but I understand what you're about to say. So like, because he said like, you know, so many opportunities that were supposed to come his way never came. He was pulled from shoots last minute. There was just so many things that made it seem like he was being blackballed and he believes it to be from Chrissy Teigen and Monica Rose. There's really no way to know that. But I do have to say, we were talking about Michael Costello. Cause I'm like, you know know what this actually really makes sense this happened in 2014 and I remember first hearing about Michael Costello when Beyonce popped up at the Grammys like unannounced in this sickening white gown and it was by like a no-name designer and it was Michael Costello and he had been on
Starting point is 00:16:37 Project Runway he had been on Project Runway and it was like the biggest deal ever and then I was that was the first time I heard of him and you would think someone like that would become like the next Christian Siriano 100% and now I'm like I hear Michael Costello like I own a bunch of his things because he does do size inclusive thank you Michael um because they sell on Revolve which is cool but it's not where someone who designed for Beyonce at the Grammys would be and so then we were like what year did that Beyonce Grammys outfit happen 2014 what year is he saying he was blackballed? 2014. So honestly like the career trajectory of Michael Costello like really does track with this story because he had
Starting point is 00:17:10 so much momentum and then like kind of like nothing. Yeah and this story just really changed the way I looked at the bigger story because like what Chrissy and Monica did to him that's cancel culture. Yeah. Like saying you'll never work again and then continuing. Going out of your way. Going out of your way to make sure that that happens. And also then to say, you know, that you might as well be dead. Like it takes it to such a disgusting level. And this is like a pattern clearly of hers telling other people to kill themselves. What is that?
Starting point is 00:17:36 What is that? That's a really fucking like weird thing. That's not like a joke. That's not like cute and quirky. Like that's fucking dark. Like you need help. And so I feel like this is a really interesting. We love talk about cancel culture here and I feel like this is like a really interesting crossroads and now it feels like the canceler is being canceled right so this is a
Starting point is 00:17:53 really interesting crossroads because I feel like as a society even though it doesn't always feel that way most normal people are very against cancel culture most normal people think if you said something in 2014 and you are now you you know, living a completely different life, like we're not going to hold you, like we don't think that you actually think that anymore. I think for the most part, people really feel that way and they want to fight against cancel culture. But there's something about Chrissy Teigen that like people don't want to apply that line of thinking to. And I was trying to think of like why that is. Most normal people feel that way, but that's still not what happens when someone gets canceled. So right.
Starting point is 00:18:27 But so I think that like why people don't want to apply that line of thinking to Chrissy Teigen is because like, honestly, when I think of like the type of people who perpetuate cancel culture, I like include Chrissy Teigen in that. Like she's always on Twitter, like with reporters and like all the people on Twitter, like with the blue, they call them like blue check mark, like freaks. Like those are the people who like dig up with the blue, they call them like blue check mark, like freaks. Like those are the people who like dig up your past to like try and prove a point.
Starting point is 00:18:49 And those are the people that Chrissy Teigen like knows and tweets with and hangs out with. So like I just kind of include her in this group of people who do perpetuate cancel culture. And that's why I've always said like, it's so stupid to get involved and like start canceling people because like, I don't care who you are, like it's coming you and this is the exact perfect example like Chrissy Teigen yeah like you have been parts of you know other people's cancellations and like of course it came for you yeah it always does and honestly yours might be the worst I've ever seen well I don't know because I do feel like and it's the way that Michael Hassell said it like she is like that powerful Hollywood elite she is in that circle like those are her friends I don't think that they'll keep her down long
Starting point is 00:19:30 yeah well so that's the thing like Hollywood protects its own like I do think at the end of the day like she will be fine because the thing is with Chrissy Teigen she's always just been a celebrity period like she does never it always helped that she had all these fans and followers but she's a famous model and she's John Legend's wife like she'll be famous forever you were like she's uncancellable really but she did build this brand herself of like her cookware and her cravings books and people like on the end like consumers are done with her but like Hollywood loves her yeah but I think that's the difference between like what you said most normal people are against cancel culture but then people still get canceled like yeah I don't it's confusing this one was it's a doozy
Starting point is 00:20:10 this one's a doozy and I think that I after her apology post last night I would have thought that that was going to be you know like a new cycle turning a new page for her and then we'll see what happens from there but this story just this is the worst thing to come out about her yet and it's after her apology I agree so I don't know where we go from here like as a society yeah or for for her where she goes from there yeah and honestly this just like and honestly justice for Michael Costello he's a really talented designer I completely agree and amongst the many things I'm like taking away from this like Monica Rose is the biggest loser I've ever met in my life now she's like oh for two on time on public scandal like yeah first she was like what did happen with her the Kardashians she was charging them for items she was getting for free and like saying
Starting point is 00:20:54 it was like something all stylists do but like it's not yeah and for years they didn't notice until like one Chloe decided to like check her credit card one time um and she was doing it to all the sisters so they let her go and chris like chris told pretty much everyone and chris atikim was the only one who stood by her and now this is the second thing i'm learning about monica rose and i just want to go on record she's going on my list of losers yeah okay you ready for our next story yeah it's some big podcasting news oh yes spotify clinches a deal with Alex Cooper for Call Her Daddy podcast, yanking it away from Barstool. Alex Cooper and her sex-positive podcast, Call Her Daddy,
Starting point is 00:21:30 are leaving Barstool Sports, coming to Spotify exclusively, starting next month under a multi-year deal. All existing and new episodes of Call Her Daddy will remain free, and starting July 21st will be available only on Spotify. In addition to bringing the podcast to Spotify exclusively, the deal also covers all future episodes and additional exclusive new projects in development with Cooper. The important part, the multi-year agreement between Cooper and Spotify is worth more than $20 million per the Wall Street Journal, which first reported on the talks last week. So we report on every time Spotify like picks up a podcast because it's super interesting
Starting point is 00:22:04 and I think the podcasting world is just like constantly evolving. But this is even more week so we report on every time spotify like picks up a podcast because it's super interesting and i think the podcasting world is just like constantly evolving but this is even more interesting because it's really like a part of a developing story over the last year when we were all literally the entire world was invested in the call her daddy drama and you and i said and a lot of people did not agree with us because they i mean we didn't take sides but i always said like if i was one of those girls i would have done exactly what soph Sophia did and I would have ended up getting fucked because I knew everyone knew the show was worth more than what Barstool was offering them and they thought everyone called Sophia greedy for wanting what like $500,000 salary when literally if they were just like a
Starting point is 00:22:36 normal podcast at a normal network they would be worth $20 million right so now it's like and that like if imagine if they had shopped the show like together as a team after barstool like they would have been so I mean it's still huge and it's so interesting but like I do think this is like what Sophia was trying to do with suit man right and they were villainized for it man saw for them the only thing is their contract wasn't up so it just wasn't their time oh their contract wasn't no so it just wasn't their time oh their contract wasn't no they had one more year on it but they didn't want to do well at the time they didn't want to do that one more year like being paid not little when the show was worth clearly
Starting point is 00:23:13 when the show was worth millions so I was really curious to see what would happen because I feel like everyone knew they had one more year everything happened a year ago like what's gonna happen and they were like is Dave gonna give them the IP like are they gonna get the name is she gonna stay with Barstool? Is she going to go elsewhere? But I think when, you know, there's $20 million on the table, even if she likes her time at Barstool, you got to go to Spotify. And she is still slightly partnered with Barstool.
Starting point is 00:23:36 They are doing her merch and her newsletter. Yeah. So she kept them involved, which is nice. Yeah. Because they did, you know, give her the platform at first. Yeah. So this is just really interesting Spotify they also we didn't report on this because like we wouldn't but they also
Starting point is 00:23:49 scooped up armchair expert yes your favorite yes I am so excited to listen to armchair expert on Spotify I just find Dak Shepard so annoying like I know people are obsessed with him but like my god like be more annoying Adario yeah the only thing is I don't know how much he got for that deal. I haven't seen that anywhere. Because like, honestly, nobody cares. Like, we all just want to know how much Alex Cooper got. Yeah, and Joe Rogan. She's more interesting.
Starting point is 00:24:12 We all know got $100 million. Right. That's just so crazy. Because like, Joe Rogan was podcasting for years. And like, Call Her Daddy, it's so crazy. We've been through so much with them. It's two years old, correct? No, it's three years old.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Oh. That's, wait. No, two years. I think it's three years. Time goes. That's, wait. No, two years. I think it's three years. Time goes by. It does go by so fast. Okay, they did it since 2018. Now it's 2021.
Starting point is 00:24:31 That's three years. Okay, so that's still pretty long. No, it's just like such crazy news. Yeah. And I just love all this money being invested in podcasting. You just absolutely love to see the medium just growing. You really, really do. And I'm such a fan of different mediums, you know?
Starting point is 00:24:44 I am a fan of different mediums. I really like the Long Island medium, but I also like Henry. What's his name? Tyler. Tyler, the medium. Tyler Henry. Tyler Henry.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Also, I feel like this story... Sorry, there's a male coming through. What is he saying? Does the word... Oh, sorry. My throat is tightening. Somebody died of asphyxiation. It's coming through and he's saying? Does the word, oh sorry, my throat is tightening. Somebody died of asphyxiation. It's coming through and he's saying, oh wow, he's saying Epstein didn't kill himself. Yeah. It's
Starting point is 00:25:13 Jeffrey Epstein. I've been, I've been taken over the body of Jeffrey Epstein. Claudia has been possessed by Jeffrey Epstein. Um, I just want to say, I just feel like this story has been like an open case for a year. Like Kate, I now case closed. Yes. The mystery is solved of like what they were worth and blah, blah, blah. And where they would go and who got the IP. And now I would say case closed. And Sophia has her own show that does pretty well. And I'm sure she makes a lot of money, but like not $20 million. I know know and I'm sure so many people are like Sophia I'm sure is like vomiting vomiting but I think that it was clearly a toxic work situation for both of them that eventually was going to end badly no matter what happened and it seems like
Starting point is 00:25:55 each girl is doing great on their own I listen to both shows sometimes I think I like Sophia with an F so much you know I'm always telling you I'm laughing out loud I know Sophia is really funny I'm just on the side of female friendship and I would have loved to see this work out, you know, for the, for the female friendship. I'm on the side of comedic duos as well. We'd love to just support fellow comedic duos. But I'm also on the side of just, you know, everyone doing what's best for them and their mental health. Yeah. A hundred percent. So I think this is like a happy ending to. It's also just like such an interesting case study, like for podcasting. Yeah. But I also am glad to see like them or her getting paid what she deserves when
Starting point is 00:26:30 like this what we were trying to say a year ago was like even though five hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money it's not nearly enough for what they bring to the table yes exactly like and so wouldn't it have been great if they could have gotten it together yes but it's still like an amazing feat for women and asking for five hundred thousand dollars now in hindsight is like are you fucking kidding me like and and they were being labeled as greedy for asking for that when it's like no no for not for not accepting that right and like just knowing the market like knowing what you know our podcast brings in and knowing that podcast is so much bigger like no no 20 million is a fair price yeah and everyone's like it's so much money that's what the market is that's the going right yeah yeah so interesting
Starting point is 00:27:11 congratulations okay relations are you ready for our next story yes Tom Girardi's alleged victims detail Erica Jane's husband's snake behavior in the housewife and the hustler okay ABC News Originals documentary housewife and the hustler detailed the allegations against Tom Girardi and his firm Girardi Keys and featured interviews with his alleged victims, including Joe Rigomez, who was severely burned and scarred
Starting point is 00:27:34 in 2010 San Bruno gas pipeline explosion. By the way, the most interesting part of that documentary was that story. I did not know that. That was fucking crazy ass footage. I know. They had so much footage
Starting point is 00:27:45 and the fact that at one point they said that the firm had 900 cases that they were doing so like 900 incidents like that like that's how they made their money first of all in all the years that we've known Eric and Tom maybe I just wasn't paying attention or I just didn't understand it I didn't know that's what Tom's firm did like I understand Aaron Brockovich by the way gotta admit I never saw the movie me neither so like I like, I know, I've heard of it, but I knew it was like a water contamination. But I didn't put all together that his firm does cases on behalf of victims who have been wronged.
Starting point is 00:28:15 And that's how they make their money. Harshly wronged by big corporations. And that's how they make their money. People like Joe Rigomez don't pay Tom Girardi. He takes on the case for free because he knows he's gonna win and he gets a piece of the settlement right which is how it works also let's just take a back really quick backstrap and in case you don't watch Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Erika Jayne came on the show a few years ago rich ass big ass husband lawyer like
Starting point is 00:28:36 one of the biggest lawyers in LA his name is Tom Girardi and he's the lawyer from Aaron Brockovich he got you know that company to pay what was it, like a billion dollars to Erin and the crew. I don't know. I never saw the movie. And recently they filed for divorce. And all these things came out about Tom and the law firm. And if you know Tom, he's been on the show a little bit. He's literally a P-jomb.
Starting point is 00:28:57 It's the last person you would expect. Or so you thought he was a P-jomb. Now there's a documentary on ABC. It's on Hulu, too. It's called The Housewife and the Hustler, detailing what tom did and what erica knew no what they think erica knew you can never really know what someone knows i did think it was a little early for a documentary because no it was the perfect time because they are trying like i it couldn't have come at a better time because on this week's episode she announced she's divorced what did she know what didn't she know
Starting point is 00:29:22 and unless you understood the gravity of what he's being accused of you wouldn't you can't watch the episodes I'm so glad that we got this right now because we've been seeing all these stories and I think we've even reported on some of them and like still I didn't I understand I understood that like at Lion Air he was accused of not giving the settlement money but I had no idea this was a pattern of behavior for him for over 40 years by the way the California Bar Association shame disgusting shame shame shame shame like let it get away with it shouldn't even want to pass 100 here's the other thing so basically when you and I didn't know this like if you are suing like a big company, whether it's an airline or a manufacturer, your lawyer receives the funds for you.
Starting point is 00:30:11 They take their legal fees, which they are owed because you're not paying them because that's the agreement. And then the rest of the settlement is given to you. And Tom would like prey on these seemingly innocent people who had never come into that much wealth before. And you know, he's this big rich lawyer. He knows what to do with a lot of money. And he would say, I could give you this settlement,
Starting point is 00:30:26 but I have a great investment opportunity, 6% interest. You literally cannot lose money. You will make money every year. And I'll send you disbursements every month. So these people are like, oh my God, of course, I'm coming into $12 million. Why not make it 20? And Tom would sometimes send payments, sometimes not.
Starting point is 00:30:39 And then eventually stopped paying altogether. Yeah. So it's not just the Lion Air case, which in watching the documentary, I like was the absolute saddest part. They had all this footage from, you guys probably remember when this happened. It was a flight from Indonesia. The flight went down and he was representing some of the victims' families, orphans and widows.
Starting point is 00:31:01 And they had the footage of like the airlock, the passenger, like the shoes and the backpacks. It's so sad. It was just so sad. And they had the footage of like the airlock, the passenger, like the shoes and the backpacks. It was just so sad. And they had, they spoke to one of the children. His mom died in the crash and he is one of four children. And they were representing by Tom and they're waiting on their money. And it's like now watching Real Housewives and like knowing that that's
Starting point is 00:31:20 probably what's funding Erica Jane's head to toe Louis Vuitton when there's like a family in Indonesia who doesn't have parents and like it's so terrible one tragedy like it's so terrible and seeing it like spelled out like that I was in shock and also and so what I was just gonna say is we I feel like we understood that lion air piece of it but just this documentary explains how he did this to so many people that he represented and who have been through horrible unspeakable tragedies not only did he do that then he was taking money out of the firm and funneling it into his own pocket and put in 20 million dollars from the key the Girardi Keys firm which is the firm is stealing money from victims then Tom is stealing money from the firm and put $20 million into EJ Global,
Starting point is 00:32:07 which is Erika Jayne's company, which it puts on her tours and all of her real housewife functions. And I'm sure pays for her glam. Like, so did she know that that investment from Tom was literally money that belonged to widows, orphans and burn victims? I don't know, but there's no way to know that. But also just this idea of like, I mean, when you make your money money it's up to you how you want to spend it and how you want to show it but the idea that like his wealth but even before he committed a crime his wealth comes from these victims who have been through such like and he gets paid for these tragedies really and then you see on Real Housewives like the life that they lead in like they can lead that life but to put it out there like that like knowing where the money comes from
Starting point is 00:32:47 it just there's something about it that just felt a little wrong there's definitely something like borderline unethical about it what some of his colleagues were saying it's like this is money that comes from people who have suffered and then you go and you flaunt it on tv in that way it's weird but it's their choice and if you're doing everything legally like i don't have a problem with that no i don't i don't have a problem with that but, but it's their choice. And if you're doing everything legally, like I don't have a problem with that. I don't have a problem with that, but it, but it's a little insensitive. Yeah. Well, isn't that what they call like ambulance chasers? Yeah. So he's just a really successful one, but like he's basically a Salino and Barnes. Well now they're just Barnes. Yeah. No. Are they just Salino? They're just Salino. Yeah. Barnes died. Damn. Don't bring
Starting point is 00:33:22 Salino and Barnes into this. 100%. Don't disgrace them. Don't disgrace them. Because they are by the book. So I thought the documentary was really excellent in explaining to what, Heather McDonald, who was amazing in the documentary, said this so well. She was like, even when the questions were asked on Watch What Happens Live about these lawsuits, Erica sort of shut it down. I can't talk about it.
Starting point is 00:33:40 And it was just a little too complicated for people to, in Heather's words, sink their teeth into. And I feel the same way. This was just like a mess I'm not a lawyer I don't understand lawyers get sued so like I'm not gonna busy myself with it but like no this is so and they actually said on a reunion a few years ago because Mauricio like had a thing and Kyle's like this is just what happens when you're successful like people see you and that is true like I do believe like whatever level you're at like you have lawsuits going around all the time so when Kyle brushed it off I was like yeah like it's so true like and I do believe that but also I did have one problem with the documentary
Starting point is 00:34:14 and I do feel like um it was so well done in certain aspects and then including people like Danielle Staub and Dana 25,000 like literally ruined it so much. A hundred percent. First of all, they're just so thirsty for the fame, first of all. Second of all, they're just so obviously, like, they're so intentional and bitter. Yeah, especially Dana. Like, so I just felt like it really discredited the, and I did think for a second that it actually was better to have Danielle Staub than Dana, because Danielle Staube worked at that strip club. That was an interesting tie-in. But still, overall, they're so, bitter is the perfect word.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Like, I did not appreciate seeing either of them. I think it ruined the seriousness and the credibility of the documentary because they're both, like, has-been jokes, you know? No, I totally agree. And it's not even like they know Erica. And Danielle being like, I was on Watch What Happens Live with her once and, like, she wasn't nice. Like, that doesn't mean anything towards what her and her husband doesn't
Starting point is 00:35:07 mean you know her and Dana who was like yeah well we heard rumors that they were getting divorced and they were like can you elaborate on it and she's like no well why are you on the fucking documentary like you're allowed to share rumors you don't bring anything to the table but the one thing you might have you don't say no and also like their their hypothesis that when you go on the show you feel compelled to spend more money to show it off because like the bar is just raised like Dana is the epitome of that like 20 you spend 25,000 on bare sunglasses like yeah and you didn't even you weren't even a full-time cast mate you were a friend of you should be embarrassed and they were ugly yeah no that's so true but but they did um kind of explain for people who might have watched a documentary who don't understand like housewives culture there is now this category of like Teresa Jen Shah um is that it and Erica and Luann Luann yeah
Starting point is 00:35:51 yeah um also I saw the craziest clip of Luann on um on TikTok from like season two I remember over quarantine when I watched I totally forgot about this clip and it actually was like very bone chilling what do you remember after she got divorced from the count she dated jock who's jewish and during a scene she said that her ex would die if she knew that luanne was with someone jewish and so andy on the reunion was like you said that your husband alex account would die if you were dating someone jewish like does he not like Jews and Luann's response was like well it's not that he doesn't like Jews but he just you know he would
Starting point is 00:36:32 um he would like um just be very shocked and I was like this is the weirdest conversation ever and I was just reminded of that because I think I saw it on TikTok this morning or last night um but I digress from the documentary I just thought that was an interesting moment you have to watch it jackie it's literally the cringiest thing you'll ever see in your life send it to me yes so back to housewives who have been in legal trouble and i feel this way about jen shaw and erica as well like we need to stop rewarding these people like after we know what they've done like i will give erica the season and maybe she can explain herself in a way that will allow us to believe that she didn't know about this but my takeaway is like Erica is one of the smartest
Starting point is 00:37:09 most clug girls that has ever come on this show and like you're married to a lying sociopath and you don't know yeah see the thing is I feel like all of these housewife criminal cases are so case by case because I really believe in my soul that like Teresa Giudice had absolutely no idea what her husband was doing and not to be mean Teresa's really not that smart and like she's proven that to us time and time again and so if Joe comes in is like hey sign this check she's like okay like I I fully in my soul believe that I don't even like Teresa so I would love to say she knew I really don't think she knew and she paid the fucking price like and and it's very different
Starting point is 00:37:45 to steal from the government than to steal from widows and orphans I'm not saying it's okay but it is a victimless crime I'm sorry it is yeah no I I agree then with Jen Shah I thought she was so deplorable like preying on innocent old people awful couldn't get worse than that Tom and Erica said hold my beer because what they did is ten times worse I'm sorry the only difference is like in the Jen Shah case like she's the one picking up the phone making the calls where Erica does have like this she could have an alibi by saying that it was Tom but I think also the fact that she filed for divorce in November when the cases started to come out and like be deposed in September and October like
Starting point is 00:38:24 and she knew that there was shit going down and people think that she filed for divorce to like hide money like that to me would indicate that she knew and that that divorce after watching the documentary it felt like the divorce was had nothing to do with their relationship and everything to do with Tom's legal trouble. Yeah and so I feel like the documentary's main question that they posed was what did Erica know and of course they had no answers for us because no one can ever really know but the evidence of the 20 million dollars going into EJ Global from Girardi Keys is very bizarre the divorce raises a lot of eyebrows and just uh what was the other part well maybe it was just those two things they didn't really tell us what to think I think they wanted you to guess it yourself but you said said it perfectly. Like, Erika Jayne is so smart.
Starting point is 00:39:06 That's why we love her. She's, like, so quick. No one can get anything by her. She called Lisa Vanderpump out in.5 seconds. She had her number. She can read anyone so quickly. Like, she is very just smart. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:21 So I would have a hard time believing that she didn't know. But, again, there's literally no way for us to know. erica has not been named in any lawsuits erica has not been deposed yet she she's but she has been named in a lawsuit and she her depositions have been delayed but she hasn't been sued herself she's just like a part of it because she's the secretary on all of tom's companies she herself has not been like indicted or charged with anything so nobody knows if she's gonna be but like that 20 million dollars once all the public records once all the records become public they will be able to find out if the 20 million dollars put in to erica jane's company from gerardi keys was settlement
Starting point is 00:39:55 money and if that's the case she has like blood on her hands figuratively speaking but i just want to say whatever happens in the legal space that's's fine. But Bravo continuing to employ these criminals, I mean, really, like, it really, really bothers me. We have to draw a line. I agree. Which pains me because I have been an Erika Jayne number one fan. We had the same birthday. Like, we've been obsessed with her since the moment she called this event.
Starting point is 00:40:22 I'm probably going to snap her on the side. We're like, oh, my God, this bitch is smart. Like, and, but you're right. I think we do have to like have some ethics here yeah when it comes to the Jen Shahs and I don't include Teresa in that maybe that's wrong of me but I don't even like Teresa but I don't believe Teresa is a criminal bad person like I think Teresa was married to an animal and would do anything for him and just like did what he said well the Teresa thing it's like it's case closed it's you know and I think the fact that she served her time on the show and I mean I don't think anyone really like we've all moved on from that um but these are totally different levels of fraud yeah and just immoral
Starting point is 00:40:58 so now it's like an ethics question like where do we go from here with with these two particular housewives because it's so and that's what one of the girls on the documentary said. She was like, when we hear about these cases, the first thing we think is, like, our camera's rolling. So it's like, we want to and we indulge and, like, we fuel that kind of, like, salacious gossip. But at the end of the day, it's, like, so unethical to, like, give these people a platform. No, and, like, Bravo cancels people for much less. Right. Like, you know, Max and Brett both had like really bad old tweets.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Fired. Fired. So it's like, what do we do when someone actually commits a crime? And this is actually, you know, always harks back to my book, Girl with No Job, available on Amazon. Talked about this a lot, like cancel culture. People who do bad things versus people who say bad things. I feel like in this day and age, we like punish people who say bad things
Starting point is 00:41:43 worse than we punish people who do bad things. Yeah. No. And these are just like completely too extreme. Like what you're a criminal. Yeah. I mean, but I am going to watch the rest of the season, like really trying to understand Erica's position. Like I'm going to try and keep an open mind. I think the documentary was really damning, but there's two sides to every story you don't know what Erica you don't know what Tom brought home but I just want to say that was my gut instinct was she's a smart girl yeah 20 years she doesn't know and by the way the documentary ended basically saying like they're still doing all these depositions and stuff obviously it's been delayed because of COVID but Tom is 81 and now they have a psychiatrist saying he has Alzheimer's
Starting point is 00:42:22 so he might not even be able to stand trial. But they also have his friend saying we've seen Tom around town. We saw him right before COVID, like at events. He was speaking very clearly. Yeah, so that's that on that. I'm ready to move on, but looking forward to the developing news. Are you ready for our next story?

Starting point is 00:44:01 when you're celebrating your one-year anniversary just like Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker were this weekend. Okay this was really surprising to me. Kendall Jenner and Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker marked a major relationship milestone over the weekend their one-year anniversary. Taking to Instagram on Saturday the couple posted tributes to one another including a cozy snap of Kendall wrapping her arms around Devin on the plane and you know they had a sunset photo where it captioned one they're tagging each other this is like the most we've ever gotten from them and I was really surprised one I didn't know that it was been a year of like them being linked yeah I also don't think those were recent photos because he's playing in the NBA playoffs and she was in Mexico this weekend with Hailey Baldwin
Starting point is 00:44:38 they had like a sickening girls weekend drinking it when 818 it looked so fucking fun it did look really fun I like went to all the people they tagged just to like see more literally it looked so fun i was like why am i not there oh these are just like you know when you post like a photo dump they took a photo dump yeah okay good to know i'm sad they couldn't celebrate together but i'm happy for kendall that she's like in a long-ass relationship i know i kind of feel like you know i've been i feel like he could be the one i actually don't really keep a lot of tabs on Kendall Jenner's relationships because she usually dates people I don't know. Like, I don't know Devin Booker, but like now I do.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Ben Simmons, I didn't know, but like now I do. And I just feel like she dates the same person, like just in different cities. So I just never really like, and she always dates people who she's more famous than. So like, I really don't care. Well, she's, there's not that many people that are more famous than her. That's also true. So I don't really keep up. But this one is now it's like, there's more famous than so like I really don't care there's not that many people that are more famous that's also true so I don't really keep up but this one is now it's like there's proof in the pudding I'm alert I'm alerted to this and also I've been watching so much basketball with Ben that like I'm fully you know keeping up with the bookers Phoenix Suns
Starting point is 00:45:38 point guard super cute like very good player so I'm like now learning more information um and I think it's super cute these pictures were very player. So I'm like now learning more information. And I think it's super cute. These pictures were very cute. And always, I think there's real credibility in a relationship based on like how, you know, private it is. And this is very private. Yeah. No, this, all signs were looking good. I was really surprised to see it. I didn't really even realize she was in a relationship. Well, I remember that at the beginning of the pandemic, they took like a car, a road trip in a convertible from L.A. to Phoenix because that's where he plays. And people were like, you were in a convertible without a mask.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Like that was the worst time of the fucking year. Like Kendall Jenner got in trouble for being in a convertible without a mask. It's like, oh, shut the fuck up. Like I can't. Now knowing what we know, like that makes no fucking sense. She's outside and the wind is blowing. Like it's so stupid. And she's in a car with just her boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:46:23 Like so stupid. But so now I know like that was over a year ago. And so I guess they made it official this time last year. Yeah. Oh, very, very cute. All makes sense. I'm happy for her. But the pictures from the convertible road trip were so cute.
Starting point is 00:46:37 And the pictures from this dump are really cute. I love. It just shows that they've had, like, a really cute, cozy year. Like, obviously them being cuddling on the PJs, like extra sweet. So cute. Yeah. Wouldn't be as cute if it was commercial. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Oh no. I also feel like girls or just people who have date basketball players or professional athletes have had like the best time this year because so many games are canceled. And if they weren't canceled, they were in a bubble. So they didn't have to travel. They were just like all in Orlando. Yeah. So I just feel like it was a great time to be a wag.
Starting point is 00:47:05 Yeah. I would agree with that. And maybe the only time we really ever needed wags back on the air was this year. Oh, I miss wags. Bring back wags. You never watch? I watch like a couple episodes. No, you didn't.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Because you would have been hooked. No, no. I did. I definitely saw like the first episode. It's clear you didn't watch. I loved the premise, Wags and Girlfriends. No, it was so good. Like, bring back wags.

The prequel will star Luke Evans and Josh Gad. They'll reprise the roles of Gaston and LeFou. LeFou's name is Louis.
Starting point is 00:48:11 That's interesting. No, it's LeFou. And there will be a newcomer, Brianna Middleton, who will join the show as Tilly, who is LeFou's stepsister. The prequel series was first announced as being in development in March 2020. But I'm sure with all the other news, this probably slipped through the cracks. cracks or we reported on it but it's just been such a long year that we forgot wait I'm like quaking one that this is happening and two that we're getting the band back together because honestly no one will ever be Gaston better than Luke Evans I'm obsessed with him
Starting point is 00:48:37 uh-huh Josh Gad is an amazing lefou amazing and this is just the feel good story, the good news that I needed today. No, a hundred percent. I actually was just watching Beauty and the Beast on Friday and I was watching Gaston and I was remarking how like Luke Evans is so good and so is Josh Gad. And I was actually thinking Hugh Jackman, I think, played Gaston on Broadway, London's Broadway, Westway, West End. Westway works. And he also, like, is the only other person who I think would be, like, such an amazing Gaston.
Starting point is 00:49:10 But these two, Luke and Josh, are just the dream team. I also feel like, you know, not to be ageist, but I do think, like, you know, Yeah, no, I hear you. Hugh Jackman has aged out of the role of Gaston.
Starting point is 00:49:20 You don't have to say it. He could be Gaston's dad in the prequel. Or he could play Gaston in the sequel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, after Beauty in the sequel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like after Beauty and the Beast. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:27 A hundred percent. What happens to Gaston? There's the French Revolution. I'm sure he was a big hero. So we're going to see. He comes back to the little town. It's a quiet village with like all this respect for being a war hero, correct? Yes, but it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Based on the timeline, it was like not the. It was pre-French Revolution wars. So it's just like a hypothetical war yeah he's like no no I'm sure they were real it's rooted in history it's definitely rooted in history
Starting point is 00:49:51 Disney does not mess around they don't fuck around so I'm just really excited little prequel news I wonder what they'll call it me too maybe they'll call it Gaston
Starting point is 00:49:59 that was not our best we haven't done it in so long. Feels good. It feels good anyway. I hope they reprise that song in one way or another. Like, maybe it's a theme song of the show. No, but I'm sure that song actually gives the whole story of Gaston. Like, when he was a boy, he ate five dozen eggs.
Starting point is 00:50:16 So we'll see, like, an episode of the series Five Dozen Eggs to help him get large. Him hunting animals from the back. Oh, that's not cool. That's not cool. That's true. Maybe that song from the back. Oh, that's not cool. That's not cool. That's true. Maybe that song was the inspiration for the prequel. No, it tells him everything you need to know about Gaston. Truly.
Starting point is 00:50:32 So, and now he's the size of a barge. Anyways. He is the size of a barge.

Starting point is 00:53:57 And look so good. I'm so excited. We also have Real Housewives of Beverly Hills now. First episode, talking about the divorce and the lawsuits. Garcelle asking the hard questions. Thank youcelle and I just want to reiterate I'm just so glad that I've now watched this and now I can go in like with the full picture yeah it's called The Hustler and the Housewife and it's on Hulu so if you want to watch that before Wednesday I recommend it and then my third critique of the of the documentary is just that title I agree makes it so like not serious even though it was
Starting point is 00:54:28 a really well done documentary and it covers really serious issues and they opened it with Danielle Staub in her shoes and I was like this is a joke yeah then it turned out not to be a joke so I just feel like they couldn't decide if they wanted to make it serious or not yeah no Danielle Staub in her shoes and it's like oh wait does Danielle Staub like know something and have the tea right it's like no she doesn't I thought Heather McDonald was a great person to have at it I thought Sunny Hauston even though I do find her a little annoying I did think she was a great person to like dumb down a lot of the legal stuff for me and I appreciated that I thought a lot of the reporters were very smart I just and I think they needed someone from the housewives like
Starting point is 00:54:59 the two people they chose like was just a no for me. Yeah I totally agree. But it's still a good documentary. Yeah. That's our show. That's our show and we'll be back tomorrow. I'm really excited for you know our little project this afternoon but also to watch Why Women Kill thoroughly enjoying it if you're looking for like a good pick you up show. For me it reminds me so much of obviously Desperate Housewives like the music and everything but also She-Devil the movie with Meryl Streep and Roseanne. We watched it on
Starting point is 00:55:25 toast movie of the week last year during um the pandemic when we were all watching movies oh my god we did that movie is so chaotic it's it's a chaotic iconic and reminds me of why women kill I don't think anyone would dislike it I'm really enjoying the show also it's like a little like um campy you know that yes but that's like that's the Mark Cherry effect I don't know something about Desperate Housewives is more soapy like well you know what this isn't like a soap opera you know who makes it very campy with her bad acting is Jennifer Goodwin I think there's a lot of bad acting Lucy Liu too but she gets a lot better she's a really good actress it's like she's just in these um like crazy extraordinary but I think like the modern day, some of the modern day actors are not it. It gets better.
Starting point is 00:56:10 Also, the show also reminds me of Mad Men. Just the Jennifer Goodwin parts. Yeah. I love the premise of the house. Me too. I think it's really, really good. Need that house. Also, is that the house from the politician when he's growing up in Santa Barbara?
Starting point is 00:56:23 No way. No, that house is, the Santa Barbara house is like palatial. Okay okay it looks very similar. Oh I didn't get the vibe.
