Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Thursday. I hope everyone had an amazing hump day. They successfully humped someone they love, and they're currently acknowledging the space that they're in, which is one day away from Friday. Friday. Gotta get down on Friday. Are you gonna get down? Uh, yeah, for sure. I never miss a Friday to get down. It's a beautiful thing that it's Thursday. I'm really looking forward to this Friday, you know? Me too. And for more days of alarm-free living. But what's so crazy for me is I have been waking up earlier and earlier. This morning I woke up just on my own at 8 a.m. like way before like I needed to be up. And it's just, and now I'm waking up at those times on the weekends too. And it's just like, what's the
Starting point is 00:00:38 point of alarm-free living if we're not sleeping in? No, I completely agree. I'm on a different trajectory. Like I'm alone this whole week, which means like so much responsibility like in the home at work Theo like I just I want to take a moment to acknowledge all the single dog moms out there like Margo Bosch right I actually have so much respect for her like I would do anything for this man like literally lay down in oncoming traffic like would do anything take a bullet you would rather lay down in oncoming traffic like would do anything take a bullet you would rather lay down in oncoming traffic than walk in 100 um it's just at least i'm laying down yeah but it's just a lot of work and like me and ben really do equally share the burden so no not a burden that's not the right word share the brunt responsibility yeah but doing it all by myself since ben's away has been a
Starting point is 00:01:23 challenge so i've just been like non-stop like go, go, go, you know? And then I'm also making all these plans every night because I'm like afraid to be home alone. Like at night, like I was up at one in the morning, like thinking there was a murderer in my house last night because I'm like a freak like that. And I watched too much SVU. So it's just like a lot for me to bear. Yeah, no, I understand. Well, Theo seems to be doing so well in great spirits, like obviously loving mommy and me
Starting point is 00:01:43 time. You said in great spirits, but it sounds like it sounded like you say in great spirits like he's an ingrate you know like your spirit is ungrateful spirit yeah right yeah no he's so grateful you can tell yeah no and actually I do really appreciate this time just him and I because he definitely likes Ben more than me um because when I said me and Ben split the responsibilities it's really like 60 40 you know maybe like 70-30. Yeah. So he's always going to love the person who's taking care of him more.
Starting point is 00:02:09 And that's me these days. Like I give him both meals. I do the walks. And I don't know. It's just been nice like having him like literally curl up in my belly like for the night. That's so nice. That's me and Brute Dudu who, by the way, is just doing so amazingly.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Thank you, everyone, who's always asking about Brute, wanting rep dates. We never get to see him. I know. I'll bring him him soon he's just like such a rambunctious little boy and to come to a new place like it just becomes stressful because he's so excited mcplant is here and he just doesn't realize like just sit the fuck down also i'm really proud of us for how we've kind of you know handled this mcplant mcplant and well. Yeah, we really can't take any credit for it. You did the whole thing. But it's still here. Theo's eaten it.
Starting point is 00:02:49 We've just like knocked it around and it's green and it's alive. And I think that just says such a wonderful thing about Bloomscape, which is that you can be even like a mediocre plant mom and McPlant is here for you. Today's episode is not even sponsored.
Starting point is 00:03:01 I just wanted to point out like how positive of an environment we foster with our steamy vibes that the plant is like literally dancing in the corner. The plant is thriving. Thriving. Speaking of plants it reminds me of something from last night's episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Which was the biggest waste of time in the history of television but yes we'll get into it in the tv recap. Biggest waste of time they have no respect for our time, our integrity, our brain cells integrity our brain cells our brain cells our intelligence they literally said to us last night you're dumb as fuck and i'm gonna waste your time which is meaningless and our time is worth more than your time that's what
Starting point is 00:03:33 they said to us we need to watch lisa rena and harry hamlin garden which i know you weren't here for but i actually found really interesting first of, like I thought that the fact that Harry Hamlin is like the, this like paranoid survivalist was kind of relatable. I guess, yes. And the fact that one, he's created this whole garden in their backyard so that they can like live off the land. And he had these big white things that are from this company that I can't remember the name.
Starting point is 00:03:59 It's like Farm something. Chemin. Farm Chemin is the name where like they are these orbs that you have in your home that grow like dozens of herbs and vegetables. Yes I've seen um Kelty Knight from Lady Gang Has One that's where I've seen it. I saw it on Kristen S's Instagram and I sent it to Rebecca because she's so into gardening and all of these things but like even for a girl like me I'm like fresh herbs I feel like every time. Doesn't it need to be outside? No, that's the beauty of it. You can have it in an apartment and it is like indoor mini greenhouse for your life.
Starting point is 00:04:30 You want that big ugly thing in your house? No, I mean, I'm not getting one, but just the idea of like having fresh herbs when I feel like anytime I buy an herb from the grocery store, I never use it when I need it. And I'm always throwing out my herbs. It's so hard to get the timing right when it comes to herbs. Yeah, no. And Herb Ertlinger says like, get some fresh fucking herbs. So I don't know. I just, I really like those machines. And for people
Starting point is 00:04:50 who have them, like I'm really jealous. Curious. And you have fresh lettuce. Again, every time I buy lettuce, it turns out to be the week that salads are not happening for me. Lettuce in the bin. That is why I just steer clear of vegetables and I go more towards like the bagged items, the candies and the chips and the snacks. Yeah. Also, frozen vegetables are helpful in that regard. But anyway, so I did find the Harry's segment interesting. Again, like Lisa didn't really need to be there,
Starting point is 00:05:15 like wearing slippers to do a fire drill that she has to do in one minute, like put on a pair of sneakers. No, the whole thing was just bothering me. We'll get into it because there was like a lot to unpack, but also literally nothing to unpack. Literally nothing. At the end of today's show, after Fast Five after the TV recap I also want to talk about the Younger series finale. I won't spoil it because I don't know if you're ever going to watch it but I just have like a lot of thoughts because I'm angry. I'm upset and I'm
Starting point is 00:05:36 hurt. Here's the thing. The thing is I plan on watching it. I do. I've given it so many seasons but I could just see myself watching it and being like I don't want to watch this anymore. It was so bad. Like it was so confusing. I'll get into it but I do want to let you know I do. I've given it so many seasons, but I could just see myself watching it and being like, I don't want to watch this anymore. It was so bad. Like it was so confusing. I'll get into it, but I do want to let you know, I do have a little surprise for you and for the audience at the end of today's show. And it goes a little something like this. Kelly's mindless snooze like the 4th of July. And not only is it the standard mindlessness that we've come to love and adore about Kelly Ripa, but there's a twist to the KMN segment today. And I'm really excited to getting your take on it. I'm really looking forward to it because I think, one, we haven't done KMN in a while.
Starting point is 00:06:12 And it's important that we keep everyone abreast. And we keep the mindlessness alive. And that we're constantly calling out this mindlessness. Because I feel like, as a consumer, the mindlessness from publications regarding all celebrities is gotten to is reaching a fever pitch do you think that's a result of the pandemic because like I do I do I think that there's not that much celebrity news and so they make stuff out of nothing and I understand like that's these people's jobs is to write articles but I'm just like when you're reading it you feel your brain cells like getting up and walking out the door.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Right. And I just think we need to call it out. And you know what? Normalize writing fewer articles if there's not that much to say. Normalize writing less articles. And I've noticed, actually, somebody pointed this out to me in my DMs. And I thought it was such an astute observation. Because this mindlessness trend that really is spotlighted on Kelly Ripa.
Starting point is 00:07:00 But like a lot of other celebrities get that MN treatment. And someone has recently kind of risen the ranks in the mindless news category. And they're coming for Kelly Ripa, but like a lot of other celebrities get that MN treatment. And someone has recently kind of risen the ranks in the mindless news category and they're coming for Kelly Ripa's throat. And that person is Rebel Wilson. I could see that. It's like I have Rebel Wilson wears a dress and it's a story like she's just been getting this mindless news treatment. I don't know if she hired the same PR firm as Kelly Ripa, but there's something going on in the world of Rebel Wilson. And now that I've pointed it out, that's the magic of mindless news. Now that I've pointed it out, and thank you to the person who actually pointed it out to me, you will notice it in your everyday
Starting point is 00:07:31 life. When you're searching for stories, you will notice the RMN, Rebels Mindless News. Interesting. Gonna keep an eye out for it. And just keep an eye out, read these headlines like that are so mindless and insult to your intelligence because it's wild and out here. And I actually read such a fucking mindless article the other day, which was like all the celebrities who have come to Chrissy Teigen's defense. Oh, and it was literally, yeah. It was six celebrities who, the six celebrities who commented hearts on her Instagram. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:01 As if we all don't have the feature to view top comments and just see this for ourselves. Like, that's not news. No, of course. And anytime a celebrity, like, apologizes or does anything, I always go to see, like, what other celebrities liked it
Starting point is 00:08:13 and commented on it. So, like, we knew this. That was, like, a BuzzFeed News article that literally that person should be fired and literally demoted to an intern because that is not journalism. Like, wrapping up Instagram comments
Starting point is 00:08:23 and putting it in an article, does it make you a journalist? No no and when the comments are emojis like and it actually highlighted that I guess like not that many celebrities are coming to Chrissy Teigen's defense because there were six who left hearts like couldn't really say much beyond that except her husband maybe I think her husband was I think like paparazzi recently like yesterday and he was responding to questions you know like when paparazzi recently, like yesterday. And he was responding to questions. You know, like when paparazzi ask you a question, nobody answers them. John Legend was answering them.
Starting point is 00:08:48 They were like, how was Chrissy? And he said she was doing great. Okay, cool. Anyways, just I want to highlight the mindlessness, you guys. Like I see it. We hear it. Like we're all in this together. And I just feel like we need to start pushing back.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Yeah. And saying we're not interested. And don't give them your clicks. Like if they, because there't give them your clicks like if they because there's power in your clicks and if their mindlessness moronic idiotic content gets clicks they'll keep perpetuating moronic idiotic content like that there is power use your clicks to your advantage click on meaningful articles okay yeah click on meaningful articles it's just crazy how like as a society we're so advanced technologically and like all of
Starting point is 00:09:26 these self-driving cars, all of these interesting things are happening yet. Like people magazine is right. Let me just go to their homepage today. See what they're up to. Because there's like no news today. It was so offensive. Bleak out here. So bleak.
Starting point is 00:09:42 What's the first article on the homepage? Paula Abdul recalls how straight up began in the shower i guess that her song straight up she said it changed my life the life-changing shower oh oh wait here's number two chills blake shelton and gwen stefani are ecstatic about their wedding says a source they can't wait that's so that's surprising that they would be ecstatic about their wedding and that they don't think anyone's ever kind of like had that feeling before. That's so rare, you know, to be excited about your wedding. Ooh, chills. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:12 So that's just like what you need to know today. That's the briefing of your mindlessness. But there's more mindlessness to come after the Fast Five. So I think. I think without further ado, do-do-do-do, it is time for the Fast Five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.
Starting point is 00:10:27 And we've gone out of our way to make sure that they are as least mindless as possible. But again, slim pickings out here. We have a great show and today's episode is brought to you by Pura Vida.

Victoria's Secret is getting a makeover. The company announced on Wednesday that it has rebranded by launching two new initiatives, the VS Collective and the Victoria's Secret Global Fund for Women's Cancers. So the angels are out. The VS Collective is in. It features Priyanka Chopra, Megan Rapinoe, and many other accomplished women who share a common passion to drive positive change. Victoria's Secret announced in a press release? I think it's Megan Rapinoe, first of all. Oh, sorry. Second of all, in the words of JoJo, it's just a little too late, a little too long, and I can't wait. You know all the right things to say, but you know it's just too little too late.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Like, literally, this is that TikTok sound. I'm gonna be honest with you. We really don't give a fuck. Like we have so moved on from you. Like we're on Sports Illustrated. We're wearing third love. Like we're so done with you. And these like half-baked attempts, like leave us alone. And honestly, I don't need Priyanka Chopra.
Starting point is 00:13:17 I don't need all these peep celebrities. I need a big titted bra. And you're literally never going to give me that. Like, so just, we're done. Like we are over. We need a new word for bra and you're literally never going to give me that. Like, so just we're done. Like we are over. We need a new word for over. Yeah. What's that from?
Starting point is 00:13:29 We're so over. Like we need a new word for over. Oh, that's a good quote. Yeah. What's it from? I don't know. It's not going to come to me. In the meantime, the Victoria's Secret Global Fund for Women's Cancers will donate at least
Starting point is 00:13:39 $5 million annually to examine and address racial and gender inequities and unlock new innovations that improve cancer outcomes for all women. million annually to examine and address racial and gender inequities and unlock new innovations that improve cancer outcomes for all women. Meanwhile, the VS Collective promises to work with their new brand ambassadors to create new associate programs, revolutionary product collections, compelling and inspiring content, and rally support for causes vital to women. In another article that I read yesterday, I saw something in there about a podcast. Oh, the thing is is that well that all sounds really lovely like it does it just everything from Victoria's Secret
Starting point is 00:14:11 like seems so disingenuous and like it's just like okay 2021 is the year like you want to like lift up women when you've literally been at the core of like women's the female like industry for the last 15 years like I just I don't buy it no I don't buy it either also like I feel like it's just so it's so inauthentic and I feel like there's a way that they could have attempted to do this while still like not trying to be something that they're clearly not like right like why did they they why'd they get rid of the angels why'd they get rid of that's literally what I was gonna say the fashion show and the angels were like one of the things that at least made them distinct and so like why used to be diverse so they just ended it why can't the
Starting point is 00:14:51 angels include these women yeah no like that's to me that's like so inauthentic like what everyone loved about it was this fantasy and you refuse to make that fantasy inclusive so now in an attempt to rebrand you're still refusing to do that. Right, right. You haven't changed at all. Right, you're saying that the fantasy can't be inclusive still. Right, they said they wouldn't have size-inclusive models or transgender models because it doesn't fit the fantasy. And they're obviously standing by that. Totally.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Like, this is so inauthentic. What movie is that quote from? Oh, yes, Carrie says it too big in the hospital when Natasha broke her teeth and they were like having an affair I wish it was from something else me too I just thought it was like gonna be from like Laguna Beach I thought it was gonna be from like another Cinderella story or something yeah damn but anyways back to Victoria's Secret I've also this is one of like the most intensive rebrand attempts in a while that ever perhaps to literally do a complete 180 so it will be interesting from a branding perspective to see if they have success with this if people will buy
Starting point is 00:15:51 into it literally buy into it like they're they're almost they're like close to bankruptcy i don't know how they're hiring all these fancy celebrities yeah i i don't know either and i just like need to know more about this podcast and of course like if any brand wants to, you know, start being more, it's really, it's wonderful. But there's just something about Victoria's Secret. Maybe it's because I've never been the target demo. Like no matter what my weight, like I've always had enormous jugs that are not going to be in like a frou-frou lace.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Like I need a big crane. We need military grade. We need a bra. We need military grade equipment. Bra's. We need military grade. We need a bra. We need military grade equipment. Bra's. We need bra's. And so maybe that's why I just like hate this brand because I've never felt represented by them.
Starting point is 00:16:31 But I've always loved that fantasy. I was like, yes, I want to walk into Victoria's Secret Fashion Show one day. And I don't know, the fact that they're just like not keeping that alive because they didn't want to diversify who walks in it is like so lame. So lame. And just like. And now they're like totally pivoting like their brand, even like this VS Collective imagery is just like the anti-Victoria's Secret,
Starting point is 00:16:52 which was like colorful and all these different things. And now they're like taking themselves so seriously. And it's like there's a way to just amend your original. Plan. Plan. To make it. Just open it up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Without just like copy and pasting from another brand campaign. I just think it's important that we all remember when Barbara Palvin was the plus size model at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
Starting point is 00:17:14 and they thought they were being inclusive when literally she had the most sickening body, like so model-y and she was the plus size one. Yeah. That was their way
Starting point is 00:17:24 of being inclusive. I think she was literally a size four, maybe a their way of being inclusive I think she was literally a size four maybe a six that's insane insane especially when you think of like the target demo for Victoria's Secret Victoria's Secret is like the most American brand there's one in every mall in America and the average American woman is a size 16 like how they're so dumb will never just like sit well with me no and business is business to me this is a miss uh we're calling bullshit it's a hit and a miss yeah but they're going forth with it so we'll see what happens a swing maybe we're wrong i would i would love to be wrong like i
Starting point is 00:17:57 really would but like we're just like not buying this phony ass bullshit you know yeah bring back the angels and just like throw some people in there bring Lizzo Ashley Graham like let's change it up yeah some queens from drag race like they could have made it so sickening so amazing I that was like a really good idea like I should be on the board a hundred percent like this is just a missed opportunity and I know they think they're doing something but I really don't think that they are it's so inauthentic and it's like really them thinking like they're gonna change people's minds because it's like really them thinking like they're going to change people's minds because it's like such a 180 from what they used to.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Whereas like we were never asking for anything like other than just a little bit of inclusivity. Like that's it. Just like, you know, make bigger sizes, feature women from different backgrounds. Like that's really all we were asking. And then you like were so steadfast in your rejection of that idea
Starting point is 00:18:43 that like now we're left with this, which just seems very fake to me. Yeah, I agree. Speaking of platforms that are just a little too late, podcasts are starting to come to Facebook next week. Oh, my God. You're kidding me. What? Facebook is planning to start rolling out its podcast product next week on June 22nd and eventually add a feature that will allow listeners to create clips from their favorite shows. Okay, that's a cute idea. According to an email sent to podcast page owners and viewed by The Verge, I'm pretty sure we got this. I did get a notification.
Starting point is 00:19:12 I got this email. I got the notification on Facebook like, add your podcast to your page. I mean like we will, but like no one's gonna listen to it. Yeah, no. Hosts can link their show's RSS feed up to Facebook, which will then automatically generate newsfeed posts for all episodes published moving forward. You know what? This isn't the worst idea. It's just too late. It's very late, but everyone keeps saying for different podcasts, like it's so late, it's so late. But like podcasting is just like nonstop burgeoning industry. So like it might feel too late, but like, I don't know, this kind of actually seems like a good idea for people who spend a lot of time on Facebook, which is older people.
Starting point is 00:19:45 And older people do listen to podcasts. Yeah. Honestly, we should sync up our podcast. Yeah. Make sure to follow The Morning Toast on Facebook. Well, Instagram too, but our Facebook page in case you want to start getting your episodes in Facebook. No, but I think like the people who are listening right now, like they know us, they know where
Starting point is 00:19:58 to find us, but like maybe we'll show up for some Facebook Karens, like who want to just consume content. Honestly, though. Mindless news. I feel like a year ago, like we had a high saturation of Karenhood in our audience. for some Facebook Karens like who want to just consume content. Honestly though mindless news. I feel like a year ago like we had a high saturation of Karenhood in our audience
Starting point is 00:20:09 and I'm kind of all set on the Karens. Oh yeah sorry I was just like using and I would have been begging you to listen. It's okay. No I understand.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Anyways these episodes will show up on a podcast tab that doesn't appear to be live yet but the company teased in a wider announcement about audio initiatives
Starting point is 00:20:24 in April. Speaking of audio initiatives it's looking like this episode is going to be audio only today are we okay and we're just gonna power through okay so that's pretty exciting podcast news I just feel like right now there's a big spotlight on podcasts like and I'm excited about it but it's like a little nerve-wracking no I know like it just feels like a lot of change like things were things were going well I know but feels like a lot of change. Like things were, things were going well. I know, but there is a lot of changing. We recently announced, I think on an episode that Apple was launching their own subscription service.
Starting point is 00:20:54 So was Spotify. So was Spotify. Spotify is snatching up all these podcasts. Like the streaming wars have now ended and the podcast wars are beginning. Yeah, so like we're on this ride. We'll be wherever things go. But it's just crazy to think about in a year from now,
Starting point is 00:21:12 like maybe the Apple charts like won't really mean that much. They don't really mean that much right now. I always think they're an interesting indicator because they can't be that far off from actual figures. From actual figures. And I think the reason why I find Apple charts interesting is because like pretty much everyone's job on social media, if you're an influential person, is to make it seem like you're so influential.
Starting point is 00:21:33 And podcast numbers are not public. So like people are promoting their podcast like it's, you know, the greatest thing since sliced bread. And then they don't crack the top 200 charts. I'm like, okay, great. You're just like faking it. But you really can't hide from the podcast charts no you can't so i find them interesting because podcast numbers are private like you don't know how many streams and episodes
Starting point is 00:21:52 gets how many listens the only it's the only indicator indicator of like what's going on in this space which is interesting so we'll see you on facebook podcasts you know i'm totally setting this up when i get home. Yeah, totally. You know, and that's like, we can change our mind about a story upon learning new information. Normalize changing your mind upon learning new information. That is my favorite quote of all time. Definitely. Are you ready for our next story?
Starting point is 00:22:14 Yeah. It's pretty funny. Okay. You might have seen this. Luann de Lesseps confuses special ed for phys ed. Oh my God. I did see. It's a cameo, correct? It it's a cameo I saw it on TikTok
Starting point is 00:22:26 and honestly like if it weren't so sad it would be funny but it's like not it's like she's insane it's so sad and funny the Real Housewives of New York City star appeared to confuse special education with physical education aka gym class in an undated video she made for a fan that is definitely a cameo yeah i saw it i saw it with the cameo logo on the bottom right she said you teach special ed that's fabulous i love special ed because i'm a jock at heart i love i love sport oh my god i lost my mind when i saw this video she's like so nuts like how honestly I get confused about things all the time like I thought rascal was a name like we know that yeah things happen I don't understand how someone could
Starting point is 00:23:13 mess up special education and physical education yeah I don't know either but it is done and then literally coming off the heels where Luann is claiming to be the most educated person right it's just like not a good it's not good timing for Lu. It's not a good look, but you know what? It's very like Rahoney. It's very Lu. This is honestly something like Ramona would say. Yeah. But you know what? Like don't bring Ramona into this. She did not make this mistake. No, she did not. Oh my God. This is so funny. And honestly, one of my favorite types of celebrities, like viral stories is when a cameo goes viral. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Like, um, happy Chinooka. Smokey Robinson. Chinooka, is that what he said? Chinooka, yeah. And he'd never heard of Hanukkah before in his life. Or the way that it was spelled was just not what he was used to seeing. So I just love these particular stories. And this is an insane one.
Starting point is 00:23:58 So thank you for bringing this up. And just thank you. Also, speaking of cameo, we were talking about it last week or was it this week? I don't know. This week seems like forever because Dave Portnoy just... Oh, we were hysterically laughing. When decided, woke up and decided to go in on... Choose violence.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Decided to go in on Cameo and said that Cameo is for losers. And if you ever see him on Cameo, just know that he's bankrupt. And I thought that was really fucking funny. I mean, as someone who's dabbled in cameo, it wasn't entirely incorrect. No, and it's like, I've been on cameo. I've received cameos. Like, cameo is really fun. But, like, I think a lot of people feel that way about celebrities.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Like, if you're on cameo, like, things aren't looking good. No, but cameo really does have a very, very great feature if you want to do it for charity. Yeah, no, for sure. So, like, Andy Cohen did it. I was like, what? But he was doing it for charity. We're not slamming Cameo. We actually are big fans of Cameo.

He loves that she's laid back.
Starting point is 00:26:48 A source says that- Wait, are you saying she's not like other girls? I think that's what- Is that what Us Weekly's saying? They're saying that he said about her. And Kanye loves a girl who's not like other girls. Kim is really not like other girls. No, no. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I just didn't know me and Irina Shaikh had so much in common. Oh, I did. We're both so laid back, not like other girls. I knew. When I think of Irina Shayk, I'm like, it just reminds me of my sister. Yeah, I could see that, actually. Okay, source says they've been dating for a couple months now, from talking to meeting and now taking a trip for his birthday.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Kanye loves that Irina is very easygoing and a laid back person to be with. The source exclusively reveals that he was the first one to reach out. He thinks that they could be a very chic power couple. He loves that she carries clout in the fashion world. That's like a really loser thing to say. I don't think Kanye said that. No, not for one fucking second. That she carries clout in the fashion world.
Starting point is 00:27:39 She's a chic? He thinks they could be a very chic power couple. I just want to say, I don't even know Kanye I just know he would never say that no that's like such a fucking that's something that a loser says like not someone who's a powerful person right like a power someone I would say that like no like someone who's not chic and has no clout would say that not someone who's literally the definition of power elegance chicness and clout like both of them kanye would never fucking say that this honestly i'm calling bullshit on this mindless article i completely agree i could just see kanye
Starting point is 00:28:11 in his ranch in wyoming being like i think i'm gonna date irena shake like we could be like a chic power couple like what no i totally agree that's like this person projecting from their basement yes just like mindless news added spinous we have nothing to say so we're gonna make shit up projection that's what it is yeah that's what you think oh my god like that quote just rubbed me the wrong way but what was the point of the article there's no news today so let's talk about kanye and irena no but like what was the message supposed to be that he loves that she's laid back and that they've been dating for a few months and then he made the first move you know it's so funny when i think of irena shake like i don't necessarily like the word laid back
Starting point is 00:28:51 does not come to mind again i don't know her we've all seen the pictures of them like fighting and fighting on the beach okay literally i cannot think of irena shake without thinking of wimbledon yeah that because honestly i've i have nothing in common with Irina Shayk. No, you have so much. She's skinny. I'm fat. She's tall. I'm short. She's stunning. And I have my days, but I have never related to a woman more than those pictures of her and Bradley Cooper, like fighting and being miserable with each other at Wimbledon. Because honestly, if you've been in a relationship for a while, like you've been there, you've been out in public and you literally want to like slit your fucking partner's throat and you can't even look at him and like your face is so fucking miserable.
Starting point is 00:29:28 And there just happened to be paparazzi around like that is horrible. Sometimes I actually was out to dinner with my friends last night and I said this, I'm like, cause someone was saying how they ran into like a couple and they just like looked so miserable together. I'm like, honestly, like they're probably fine. Cause like you could run into me in bed together and like you would tell everyone we're getting divorced. Like when you're with someone so long you just like don't be like
Starting point is 00:29:46 smiling all the time you just want to like be on your phone honestly normalized looking miserable 100 because like that's really what we look like most of the time that is life and the couples who are like at wimbledon and just like smiling the entire time even though they are probably internally miserable like that's fake that's not real no and you know what i think it was uh no never mind yes agreed great i'm glad that you agree no like honestly i hate when people say that like oh my god i saw so-and-so out there girlfriend they looked miserable i'm like okay well what do you say about me behind my back because like me and ben always look miserable then you're obviously not in a relationship and we're not miserable but like you know what it feels like to sit at a table and be like hey I
Starting point is 00:30:26 kind of look miserable like I hope no one like sees me looking this way you know maybe if you had a boyfriend that you were miserable with you would know what it's like yeah but you don't like you're not gonna be happy at every dinner all the time no not even I think that about myself all the time I'm like damn like I look miserable but like I think pretending not to look the way that you feel like then you're fake ass itch I think that all the time I'm like damn like I look miserable but like I think pretending not to look the way that you feel like then you're fake ass itch I think that all the time I'm like you know I have such a thirst for fame and then I'm like sometimes some days when I'm walking around with Ben I'm like I'm so glad I'm not even remotely famous because like literally my nasty mug like if Ben says something that pisses me off and like I just like woke up on the wrong side of
Starting point is 00:31:01 the bed like I am literally like gonna murder him and it's just for the best because if we were paparazzi like there would be rumors about us all the time yeah for sure we're fine just like miserable you know which is how most people such is life such is life no one's happy 100% of the time and the people who that pretend that they are are fake as fuck um I saw a really interesting quote on tiktok that like really struck me oh it was a friend Leibovitz quote I love a quote and I ran I not ran into I don't know her I saw a really interesting quote on TikTok that like really struck me. Oh, please share. It was a Fran Lebowitz quote. I love a quote. And I ran, I not ran into, I don't know her. I saw Fran Lebowitz on the street the other day.
Starting point is 00:31:31 And it was like an iconic moment. Can you share the quote? Yes. Because I forget what the interview was, but you know, she's like from a different era and they were talking about like trigger warnings and she had never heard that phrase before. And she was like like being offended is just a consequence of getting out of bed and it's like such a good call because she like didn't believe in trigger warnings and like I have my own opinions about trigger warnings like of course
Starting point is 00:31:53 I don't want to trigger anyone but like a part of life is like seeing things that trigger you um and I just thought it was a really like funny elegant way of saying like why she doesn't agree with trigger warnings that's really funny and elegant yeah funny and elegant way of saying like why she doesn't agree with trigger warnings that's really funny and elegant yeah funny and elegant speaking of people that you spotted yesterday on my way to work i saw matt james and rachel walking down the street very cool it was early in the morning and they were like well like should i share where i saw them i don't think so i don't think so but um nothing like crazy or anything like that we just just don't want to give away our location. Giving away my location. Our super fans.
Starting point is 00:32:28 I wouldn't want you guys to show up and get. Former toaster energy. I wouldn't want you guys to show up and get a picture of me looking miserable. So I just saw them on the street. Like they're in New York and they're like doing things early in the morning. Just wanted to tell you guys. I think that's like the craziest like ending of a story I've ever experienced. Because we were on the journey
Starting point is 00:32:45 for the whole thing. Yeah. No, now they are just like back together, moving in together. Couldn't be more serious. Couldn't be more in love. Also, we said we would update you
Starting point is 00:32:51 on Bachelor ratings because we gave you the ratings from the season premiere was 3.6. This week's episode dipped down to 3.2, which I didn't think was so terrible
Starting point is 00:32:59 from like premiere to episode two. No, just keep, just wait. Keep your breast. Yep. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Finally. That's No, just keep, just wait. Keep your breast. Yep. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Finally.
Starting point is 00:33:07 That's our, you know, interesting news of the day. Something not so mindless. Something that we can really sink our teeth into. It's the final story. Do-do-do-do-do-do. Bum-bum.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Do-do-do-do-do-do. Cha-cha. Do-do-do-do-do-do. Bum-bum. Do-do-do-do-do-do. Cha-cha. Do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do-do. La-la. Cha-cha. yeah i'm ready now i feel ready i'm really looking forward to getting your thoughts on this
Starting point is 00:33:33 human composting a new end of life choice turns bodies into soil you can rejoin the natural cycle isn't that what like burying your body does no well you have a casket yeah but it all like degrades eventually and you do become one with the earth it's not the point eventually spiritually you become one with the earth but here you are becoming one with the earth you will become some fertilizer when is this story from this story is from today okay because i swear to god we had before. Like on the morning breath. Like literally so long ago. I'm having deja vu.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Yeah. Do you get deja vu? So this story is about a woman who heard about this new end of life process and said she was really moved by the idea. It just felt right. You know who I feel like is going to do this next? Harry. Yes!
Starting point is 00:34:21 Oh my God, how did you know I was going to say that? Because it all comes back to the top of the episode. She said she loves the idea of helping other people is it a tree a flower whatever go thrive i'll have had my turn after my death it's their turn see i understand wanting to help people when you pass away um giving organs 100 you know limbs whatever you can do i'm not really understanding how turning your ashes into a tree helps people. It's not your ashes. It's your body. Because, okay, turning your body into a tree. Because, like, trees can grow without your soil. Like, okay, organs cannot get donated without your body. Like, that is a meaningful way to end your life. I do hope that becoming human compost,
Starting point is 00:35:01 like, automatically means that you're donating your organs. You better. Like for real. For real. You better. Yeah. But here's why this story sounds familiar. Last year, recompost began transforming bodies to soil after Washington became the first state to legalize the practice of human composting. And I think that's the story we reported that it was legal.
Starting point is 00:35:21 More formally known as natural organic reduction. Before that, end of life options in the u.s were were limited to burial or cremation yeah both of which come with environmental costs or freezing if you're walt disney so i feel like this is good for people whose like mission in life is to like leave the smallest possible imprint on the environment do you want to hear for me for personal reasons i just love using this as an excuse like i'm jewish i have to be buried it's like i can't participate do you want to hear an interesting fact For me, for personal reasons, I just love using this as an excuse. Like, I'm Jewish. I have to be buried. It's like, I can't participate. Do you want to hear an interesting factoid?
Starting point is 00:35:47 U.S. cremations alone dump 1.7 billion pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year. Is it more environmentally friendly to be buried or to be cremated? According to that stat, it's better to be buried. Interesting. And then also, like, if you put your, you know, ashes in the ocean, is that pollution? Well, I don't know. Polluting the ocean?
Starting point is 00:36:09 No, but you're polluting the air with your carbon dioxide. Yeah, just something to think about. Just something to think about. Like, there are people
Starting point is 00:36:15 who really dedicate their lives to leaving, like, the least, like, no waste. Some people don't have children because they say,
Starting point is 00:36:20 like, we're overpopulating the earth. Like, they, and so this is a nice way for them to go out. Yeah. I personally won't be partaking,aking like bury me with my plastic straws
Starting point is 00:36:27 but this is good for some people yeah no for sure it reminds me of the episode of the politician like if you're yes yes if you're showering and using your shower or water to make coffee like this is a really good option and by the way the more i learn about people who have different life experiences in me especially through tiktok the more i realize like there are a lot of people who would do this yeah and i love that because we should all have options you could find me at mount sinai in the ground yeah not in 120 years knock on wood sounds like a lot um okay let's dive into the tv recap segment and then a little mindlessness oh okay that's gonna be the order we're gonna save the mindlessness. Oh, okay. That's going to be the order. We're going to save the mindlessness. Oh, you, this is your show.
Starting point is 00:37:06 I'm in a newsy mood still. Okay. Okay. So the mindlessness. So I, I'm glad you brought it up. I'm really excited because I am on the war path against mindlessness today. I feel so insulted this morning. I can't even explain to you.
Starting point is 00:37:22 So when I search for mindless news, I literally just go to Kelly Ripa and then I click news on Google. And I noticed something very interesting today. Oh, sorry. Kelly's mindless news like the 4th of July. Kelly's mindless news has very little to do with Kelly's family, friends, and Kelly herself because there's pretty much no news that goes along with it. We apologize to anyone we offend.
Starting point is 00:37:42 But honestly, being offended is just a consequence of getting out of bed in the morning wow stunning okay and then i noticed literally every fucking thing on the page was the exact same thing okay people magazine kelly rippa wishes daughter lola consuelos a happy 20th birthday pick with a quote approved instagram pick i saw that this morning entertainment tonight kelly rippa shares lola approved instagram pick in honor of her daughter's 20th birthday yahoo kelly rippa posted a quote approved 20th birthday post for daughter lola consuelos access hollywood kelly rippa celebrates daughter lola consuelos 20th birthday with an quote approved instagram pic in style kelly rippa posted a 20th birthday post approved for daughter lola consuelos this You know what? This isn't right.
Starting point is 00:38:25 She really should have got her daughter's approval. And now I haven't even read the story, but I'm sure there's so much to unpack. Okay. No embarrassing mom here. Before posting a birthday tribute for daughter Lola Consuelos on Instagram, Kelly Ripa had to make sure to get her 20-year-old stamp of approval. The Live with Kelly and Ryan host 50. Wow, I always forget she's 50.
Starting point is 00:38:44 She looks great. Selected a black and white image of her daughter sitting on a towel with her knees curled up to her chest as she casually looked over her shoulder. Even though Consuelos approved the pretty pic set in a tropical locale, Ripa couldn't help but poke a little fun at the size of her daughter's feet in the photo. Oh, good. We're kink shaming. Not kink shaming.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Sorry. We're body shaming. We're body shaming our children now. Disgusting. She couldn't help but poke a little fun at the size of her daughter's feet in the photo, which appeared larger thanks to the scale of the shot. Happy 20th birthday to the little lady with the big feet at the youngest young. She captioned the Instagram post.
Starting point is 00:39:22 It's just worth noting, like, the kid's feet look so averagely sized. Yeah, no, it just looks like, like, due to perspective and angles, the feet would look bigger than the rest since they're in the foreground. Then she continued, we love you so much. You are our favorite daughter, no doubt. This was the approved photo. Oh, my God, that's's crazy that's really crazy no like crazy i just i can't and so that like literal useless mindless piece of information was written up in one two three and you know what four five six at least six major publications for the writers
Starting point is 00:40:03 who traffic in keld Kelly's mindless news, like I'm sure this was such a great day for them because they didn't even have to scrape the bottom of the barrel. Like they had something to write about, you know, but it's still so deeply and offensively mindless that I just thought it would be bringing up. But again, no hate or offense to Kelly, her family.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Just more like, more, it's a stunning indictment of the state of our media. Of the state of journalism and it actually has nothing to do with Kelly. No, no. I'm going to start

Starting point is 00:41:53 nothing happened there was a quick snafu with dorit and kyle and honestly it was so mindless and stupid i didn't even decide to like take a side like i couldn't care less no i couldn't care less mindless and stupid though i am on Dorit's side because I hate being interrupted actually I get interrupted all the time no I I am the Kyle to your Dorit I was actually I thought the same thing but it doesn't it bothers me once for every hundred interruptions I think one bothers me if I'm conditioned if I'm really I just interrupted if I'm doing it if I'm really on a rant and I feel like I don't know but sometimes when some people interrupt me it really bothers me and I think that's how Dorit feels about Kyle there's also a difference like they weren't talking to Kyle
Starting point is 00:42:35 they weren't talking to her like she was not in the conversation and then she like wanted to be the center of the conversation like I could see how that's annoying yes and Kyle crying like are you kidding me no it was so silly but also I could see the that's annoying yes and Kyle crying like are you kidding me it was so silly but also I could see the last time they had this argument where she said to Dorit you talk too much like you talk too slow like blah blah blah I could see why Dorit now has like a thing up with Kyle about this so like sometimes yeah maybe if someone else said it Dorit wouldn't take offense to it because they know that she knows that they don't feel that way about her but I understand why Dorit was annoyed like that's something that would just make probably annoy me if it wasn't Claudia
Starting point is 00:43:08 and I really thought Dorit made a great point and I'm glad that she left because Kyle like literally is making such a big deal out of this being like are you my friend and but and Dorit was like I didn't say any of that shit to you last year when you said fuck you like three times in a row like she's making such a big deal like this is possibly the end of their friendship where it's like come on we all go tit for tat and like you're gonna make this into a whole thing you've done worse to me and i don't make it into a whole big shebang a hundred percent i was so glad during reference that because i had forgotten about it and she was just making great points and i'm glad that she left making kyle's sad party even sadder and i think kyle was really upset that dureek left
Starting point is 00:43:39 because like her party just became incredibly irrelevant sad irrelevant and it was just like a such a weird evening. Nobody dressed up. Nobody dressed up. It was anticlimactic. The whole episode was anticlimactic. And literally that party was just like a mere, like a microcosm of the anticlimacticism. Like, oh, the election.
Starting point is 00:43:59 Nobody won that night. Oh, the episode Erica. We never even got to see her. Like it was just all this like hype and no. No substance. Yeah. oh the episode erica we never even got to see her like it was just all this like hype and no what no substance yeah what's that line all talk no action yeah what's that from clueless no but i know someone who said it yeah it's a thing i know it's like whatever i know what you mean like someone's inflection is memorable. Yeah. Oh, I got it. It's totally different and it makes no sense. Long pause, no answer. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:28 From Confessions of a Shabaholic. Yes. And she's not supposed to repeat it, but then she goes, long pause, no answer. Amazing. So yeah, what else to discuss about the episode? Also, I felt like, so Crystal and Rob came to the party and it was nice to see like Rob meet the guys, but I really felt like he was not meshing with them and thought they were like annoying and weird and yeah he's like a little mature and like I think he's just feeling very new to this and PK and Mauricio know
Starting point is 00:44:55 like you're just supposed to be silly like that's what the husbands on Beverly Hills bring like the silliness Mauricio smokes pot like yeah it's not that serious whereas like Rob hasn't figured that out yet and he seems like a very serious guy and he was just like not jiving with them whatsoever yeah definitely and then Crystal shared um a personal story about her struggle with eating disorder which I thought was really brave of her to share with the women especially so early on and I thought that was a really nice moment yeah I thought so too and I think her husband was even surprised that she brought it up. Because, and I feel like it wasn't something they really even talk about a lot. But it like started that conversation in their household.
Starting point is 00:45:33 Yeah, definitely. Yeah, which was nice to see. Kathy Hilton was honestly like a nice reprieve from everything. But she's really giving me, everyone's like obsessed with her. And I get it. But she's giving me nothing. But she but she is friend of yeah she's not there to give you that much that's true yeah nothing like Kyle crying on the pj was so like embarrassing for her like it was so stupid and that conversation in her house I felt was embarrassing for her with Dorit because Dorit just like owned her and that's not really what Dorit's known for yeah so it must have been like a really weak argument that's so true also the brunch taking place in Sutton's house
Starting point is 00:46:11 is so weird to me and it looks like so bad like yeah and those mannequins like that was a haunted house like it was turned so strange I really feel like Sutton is getting like got a lot of placement this episode yeah her store I literally forgot that she had a store I know it was just like the party was so lame and honestly like Lisa Rinna is just bothering me so much like I can't explain like she has to like make the biggest deal okay they wore the same dress and now I'm just like okay Lisa Rinna is so unoriginal she's now shown up twice in the same dresses like whatever the dress of the season is I had one thought just relating back to Housewife and the Hustler because in the same dress as like whatever the dress of the season is I had one thought just relating back to Housewife and the Hustler because in the last two minutes when the women start to have a
Starting point is 00:46:48 conversation of the divorce and everyone is saying they never saw this coming they were so in love it's the sort of relationship that you aspire to and um Garcelle said why wouldn't she just wait and in my head I thought they were talking about like wait till the lawsuits die down because no she was saying wait till he just drops dead wait till he dies and given that his now defense is that he has alzheimer's it it negates erica's filing for divorce because if her husband was really the love of her life 20 years all of a sudden his health is going south she would not file for divorce no jackie there's so much going on that like i know it just gave me another like window into like us trying to get information no and we got literally not one fucking ounce of anything yeah so either the divorce is fake or he doesn't have alzheimer's
Starting point is 00:47:33 that's all which we knew but it was just another he definitely doesn't have alzheimer's like yeah which is it's just like more proof proof but like lines of thinking. Yeah, so we got literally nothing. And if we get nothing next week, I'm going to be so annoyed. That To Be Continued was so fucking unnecessary. And we didn't get a preview for next week. Yes! So what's to know what we're going to get? I'm really annoyed.
Starting point is 00:47:54 I'm really annoyed today. Yeah, I feel like maybe because of the documentary, like they're changing next week's episode. I know that sounds like really paranoid of me, but like they've never not given us a premiere. That's literally how Housewives work. You know what? I hope that if that's what they're doing i i hope that that's the case because it's
Starting point is 00:48:09 really frustrating when the view when there's so much going on in real life and they don't change the show accordingly so maybe they have footage that maybe you know what i hope that that's the case the what the preview aired during watch what happens live i didn't make it to watch what also i just think it's worth mentioning, Andy Cohen spoke about it on his radio show, The Housewife and the Hustler. Yeah. He dismissed the Erica Girardi documentary as questionable.
Starting point is 00:48:31 So I think he had some good points, but also not. He said, I will say that Danielle Staub and Dana Wilkie are the experts in this documentary about Erica, is questionable at best. So I kind of realized I wasn't going to learn anything, any news from them about Erica. The Tom Girardi stories continue to be deeply disturbing
Starting point is 00:48:49 and we have to see how this plays out. I don't think that documentary will affect her future on the show. I agree with him pretty much on all counts. If it's just the documentary, we never got another shred of information. It's not enough to prove that she knew and that she was like committing criminal activity right but like he said we have to see how it plays out and my
Starting point is 00:49:09 theory based on what we do know so far is i don't see it ending well well she doesn't even have a lawyer right now right so you never know but as of right now like there's no reason why she should be fired because we have to see how it plays out yeah I just want to talk about younger and I just I want to know how vague I should be like with you be pretty vague okay but like it was so rushed and so stupid and I literally was so confused at the end I went on Instagram live yesterday because I was like someone explains to me what just happened and it's not Game of Thrones it's not like a complicated show like I shouldn't have had a hard time understanding what went down and it's not that I even care about like how it ended like because you just hate Liza so much like you literally don't give a shit but like it was like
Starting point is 00:49:49 in the last 10 minutes everyone's life plans just changed and like happy ending for everyone like it was just so stupid yeah and so confusing like I didn't understand that last scene with Liza I just didn't get it and I'm like I felt like the show like there was just no thought put into the ending and it's sad because like I feel like I've invested a lot I'm like, I felt like the show, like there was just no thought put into the ending. And it's sad because like I feel like I've invested a lot of my time. And I feel like the show actually for a while was really, really good. And they just decided to like give this careless ending. And I wanted to see like them in five years.
Starting point is 00:50:16 Like there was just like nothing. I'm sorry. Yeah. I probably won't watch because I think the best episodes are behind us. So can I tell you? No. No, because also for the viewers. It was on like three nights ago. Everyone already watched it. No they didn't. A lot of people are saving it. You know we're busy watching Why Women Kill which I just finished the first season.
Starting point is 00:50:35 I'm saving the next season until there's more out there and it's just such a good show. Really treat. They wrapped it up so nicely. It got better as it went on. It's like a mini series the first season and it was so fucking good. Like'm so glad story ended up being your favorite oh probably Simone it just had the most is that Lucy Liu Lucy Liu it had the most heart oh my god it was so sad when he was just like getting sicker and sicker it was it was really really sad but like I thought that that was like the most The other stories were a little more like parody of different genres. Where you know like the. Murderer.
Starting point is 00:51:08 Jennifer Goodwin. But that was good too. It was real. No I liked it so much. And even the modern day couple. Like it just became like this like thriller. SVU. All of a sudden like horror film.
Starting point is 00:51:19 So I just thought that there was like so much love in Lucy Liu's story. I agree. Like I actually got choked up. Yeah it was really beautiful. So it was an amazing season. And she was like so much love um in Lucy Liu's story I agree like I actually got choked up yeah it was really beautiful so it was an amazing season and she was like so humbled like by the whole experience like it was just a great ending transformative and so I would highly highly recommend it also um oh and then I started reading Lala's book oh how was it it's really good I'm really enjoying it like the Vanderpump rules, just like from her POV. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:47 Is just. Well, she got, had a rough go around when she. In the beginning. Walked onto the show. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:52 So just knowing everything that led to there and like how she goes from like those relationships, like specifically with Katie. Yeah. To being best friends. Where they are now.
Starting point is 00:52:00 Like I'm really, I'm halfway through the book. So like I'm excited to get to that part where things change. Yeah. That sounds good. Yeah. That's our show. Like things change yeah that sounds good yeah um that's our show like we did it we did it that's our show don't get it fucking twisted no and I don't think that you really could because I think a lot of
