Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Monday that does not feel like a Monday because we have things to do. We have to rise. We have to grind. We have to chit-chat with one another because Jackie's finally back in New York, back in studio, back at it again. I'm so excited. With the white man. With the white loafers that trigger everybody. And that's how you know I'm back because the white loafers are back and you know what? Damn, Jackie. Back at it again with the white loafers are back and you know what damn Jackie back at it again with the white loafers yep that's me I can't believe you said it doesn't feel like a Monday because to me of all the Mondays that have ever that have ever come across my desk today is the Mondayest Monday of all Mondays you know what this is gonna be like an opposite day kind of episode. I'm feeling so positive.

Like maybe it's because you went to that wedding. So like I had literally off from Thursday. Yeah. So I'm so well rested. I actually didn't do anything that crazy this weekend. I was very civilized. I got tons of sleep. I did like took really good care of my skin and my hair.

And like I got a new hairstyle. You didn't even comment on it. I was waiting for a gap in the, I was waiting for a space in which I could speak this is a safe space always to give compliments I was going to and I was saving it because you have this cute little cute new little look going on and I don't want to um I don't want to say anything offensive but the time that I last most recently saw it was yesterday on my tv watching love island okay so a lot of people have been commenting on my new hairstyle being like, are you inspired by Olivia? Okay. And so while she might be wearing this haircut, I did, I didn't notice it. I saw this TikTok thing where

one of my favorite makeup artists is artists. Well, she does hair too. Her name is Erin. She did this thing where she did this and then she took them and twisted and I started to do it and I couldn't do the twisty thing, but this was the first step. And I'm like, this is cute. It's really cute. You're looking so cute today. I just want to say like, I did't do the twisty thing but this was the first step and I'm like this is cute it's really cute you're looking so cute today I just want to say like I did not take it from Olivia like I'm I just I really need that to go on the record I knew that you didn't I just wanted to let you know that I did see it on her no you're not the only person like I got millions of messages people being like oh my god inspired by Olivia like no if you watched my stories last night you know that I do not stand with Olivia yeah I understand and I agree and I'm pretty much caught

up on Love Island I'm one episode behind you didn't watch last night no but I was catching up I know skip it skip it it was two hours long I'll tell you who went home it was not even exciting the whole episode it was really like one of those Paramount Plus specials like they were playing they played a game the whole time. Each of the girls got like an undercover operation to do. Whatever. We have a really big TV recap. We have so much to talk about.

Like where do I even begin? I don't even know. I don't know either. Like it's been so long since we podcasted, first of all. Well, we podcasted on Wednesday. So I guess that's like. And it's been so long since we've been in studio. Right. And I just, I feel like I have to catch you guys all up on.

How was your weekend? Where did you go? What did you do? Okay, so my weekend was so wonderful. I was at Blackberry Farm for a wedding. My friend Jess. And it was such an amazing, beautiful weekend. Beautiful couple.

Like everything was just so beautiful. And I was with Dana because we met Jess on Birthright. And Dana and I went on Birthright together. Oh, I didn't realize. It was one of your Birthright friends. Right? Isn't that so fun? Wow. Gotta go on Birthright so somebody I know can get married at Blackberry Farm and I went on birthright together. Oh I didn't realize it was one of your birthright friends. Right isn't that so fun. Wow gotta go on birthright so somebody I know can get married at Blackberry Farm so I can spend the weekend there. Booking a trip. Literally

also like this is your sign to go on birthright because it's literally lifelong friends and Dana and I were just like reminiscing on birthright the whole time and it just it was so much fun. It really was. Birthright is like a rite of passage. It's a birthright. Literally. For like, you know, Jews who grew up on Long Island. But actually, that's not true. No, it's all Jews. Everyone from all around the world. It's all Jews. And even, I don't know what the minimum amount of Jewishness you have to have.

I think you could meet a quarter Jewish. Yeah. But the thing is, is like, just the kind of makeup of the trip is. Torture. It's really like the antithesis of who I am as a person. It's lots of hikes and bus rides and early mornings and museums museums and like you know boxed food and personally I just I think it's so important to know your body and more importantly to know your limits and I

drew a line in the sand I'm not even eligible but like at a point in my life I was eligible but I just knew it's something I would deeply regret not the experience or the knowledge but the the journey yes everything about birth right like the schedule you are jam-packed and we Dana and I actually went on a trip um with the oldest group possible we went when we were 24 which is actually old for birth right most people go in high school and it is weird to have so much structure when you're an adult and it's like you're on a field trip and it's like but I'm 24 you know and like you get these pockets of free time and it's just like why aren't I just in Israel doing my thing but like you know what you it's so worthwhile and you do things that you would not bring yourself to go and do but you learn so much and it's just such a great experience and they

they really have it like down pat you know and you made friends to last a lifetime and we made friends to last a lifetime and you got invited to blackberry farm so i think it's a win-win-win and so it was so nice to celebrate how was the facility the grounds facilities were so sickening they were so amazing they were it was camp by the way you say it was bucolic bucolic farm chem in it was sickening the barns down the barn it was so campy like ac was peaking it was camp as in nature not camp as in high fashion right but actually some of us that would have been a good caption some of us brought the camp to camp some of us did um ben literally we in the car and i was like do you see jackie she looks amazing he's like yeah how did she pack that dress i'm like actually i'm so glad you asked we have a patreon blog she did her entire packing journey on our patreon like you should check it out if you're really curious

you should check it out and took up like my whole luggage which is why i didn't have any clothes for the rest of the trip which is why i barely posted on instagram because i was wearing the same thing over and over again but i will say i didn't check luggage because our flights, we had a connecting flight and there was just a lot going on. We flew an airline I never flew before and I was just like I don't want to leave anything to chance. What airline have you never flown? Allegiant from Florida to Knoxville. It's like a regional airline. Right you probably never even heard of it. So I was just like I don't know how Allegiant does. How their bag carrying skills are. Right so I was like I don't want to leave anything to chance. I don't want to lose this dress and

like ruin my weekend. So we're not going to check luggage. And when I tell you about my travel day yesterday, I don't know how we would have gotten home. If you had checked a bag. Because we would have been stuck. And I'll tell you about it in one second, but I just want to say Blackberry Farm was so amazing. And it was all, it was so camp, but it was also so wellness focused. Like Friday we did like massages. Did you find yourself going back to your pritikin best self i i really did it was like a mini retreat which i always can use always and i was so relaxed dana and i we just like love to like sit in pretty places and read so we were in actual heaven it was such a wonderful weekend i was you know so excited to come home just because of brew only for brew honestly being away from brew really threatened

to ruin my entire trip I was like low-key depressed the whole time welcome to the mom life it was so so hard I couldn't think about him too much because I would get emotional but I couldn't stop thinking about him of course it was so difficult like oh my goodness it's a true deandre's choice to think or not to think to vacate or to be with brew so true be with brew anyways yesterday so we blackberry farm is in knoxville so yesterday we had a connecting flight knoxville to atlanta atlanta to newark we took the 8 50 a.m flight because we're like that gets us that gets us home by 12 so we left the premises at 6 45 to make our flight we get on the plane everything seems to be going smoothly there's there's

something broken always we're sitting on the plane i fall asleep on the plane i wake up on the plane we're still on the ground that's the fucking worst and like you can see in the front like everyone pretending to do stuff like talking about it with the maintenance guy they keep saying you know we're gonna try to reset the system like you're gonna unplug it and plug it back in no also it's like in those situations you really want to get off the ground, but then it's like you're working with a rebooted plane. It's like you don't know what you want to get in the air and probably go down or just sit on the tarmac. I truly don't know what's worse.

No, and I said they should let us know what's wrong with the plane, and we can vote. We should decide. We should vote. And if you're not comfortable, fine. Is it something we can live with? Right. Is it an air conditioning issue?

Right. Or is it one of the wheels won't go down? Right, or like an engine's not comfortable, bye. Is it something we can live with? Right. Is it an air conditioning issue? Right. You know, or is it, you know, one of the wheels won't go down. Right. Or like an engine's not on. Right. How, I agree, like how dramatic is it? Because I've been on flights before where you get delayed because the bathroom, the toilet's not working.

Someone's seatbelt doesn't work. It's like, just get off the plane. Like take, take one for the team. No, I agree. Sometimes it's like minutiae that delays a plane and it's like are this is what we've been sitting around for yeah so unclear what the issue was they kept saying it's a control issue they were giving us nothing and I'm pretty sure they were just going through the motions and they knew this plane was never taking off so after about two hours on

the plane where we already like would have been in Atlanta whatever they deplane us. Ooh. And we realize. What's worse than the shame of reverse planing? Like, oh my God, you're like, you're so lost and you're so hopeless. Yeah. We realize we're not getting anywhere on this plane because they can't figure this out. Like, it's just not happening. Our best chance is getting a new plane, but we're in Knoxville. Like, nobody's respecting this little flight from Knoxville to Atlanta. And there's not just like a million flights.

You go, oh, let me just hop on this United. Like, no, it's not a major hub. The plane that we need, like is coming from Atlanta. Yeah. So we were,

it was, I was with Zach, Dana and her fiance, Josh. And we were just like, we need a plan. We had booked backup flights because we were already missed our connecting, but there was no,

there was no plan in place for this flight. Hate a planless flight. And it's a really small airport with not a lot of options. Did they have good food? No, but it was still really early. Actually, they had like no food because then we decided to rent a car to drive to Nashville and take a flight from Nashville to JFK. Who drove?

Josh drove. Thank God for Josh. And that's when I got hungry. We stopped at Dunkin'. And you know, Dunkin' sometimes is, I love Dunkin' in general, but sometimes it's hit or miss. They do have a quality control issue. They do.

It's like each franchisee like just decides whether they want to take a shit in the food or they don't. Totally. Like, do they want to use yesterday's donuts or make fresh ones today? Like there's such quality control issues. I couldn't agree more. Like you can get the same thing at four different Dunkin's and there'll be different colors. No, I got, I got my Dunkin' order.

Like I love Dunkin' when I need a breakfast fast food item because I get those egg and cheese wraps, maybe a few assorted munchkins, a coffee. Oh, assorted munchkins. And when we were coming back from the Hamptons a few weeks ago, we stopped at a Dunkin that was poison, literal poison. And you know what? I was, I was feeling kind of like PTSD when we pulled up to this Dunkin. I was like, what am I going to get? I ordered so much stuff. Cause I was like, it like PTSD when we pulled up to this Dunkin'. I was like, what am I going to get? I ordered so much stuff because I was like, so hit or miss. Rolling up to a Dunkin' is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get.

It's like a box of Munchkins. But you do know what you're going to get because they all look different. Yeah, I guess. Unless you just put your hand in. Oh, yes. Unless you're blind, for sure. Anyways, we roll up to Dunkin'. We order the feast and it was delicious.

It was just what we need. It fueled us up. Even the coffee was good, which is, you know, that was so surprising. So we fueled up. Egg and cheese wraps were so good. I did ask for assorted munchkins and they definitely gave me the least popular flavors. They didn't even give me a glazed. Okay, here's a great question.

I asked for 10 assorted munchkins. I asked for 10. They gave me, because I was like, do your thing. The guys seemed nice. What are you, like keeping an Excel spreadsheet of the donuts? I had to recount it to the group and you know I have a good memory. There was four blueberry. Oh, what nerve.

Four chocolate. So good. The most, and then two powdered. Nobody even touched a powdered. In your opinion, of the traditional, I'm not talking about, like, the new blueberry, the traditional munchkins, what is the best flavor? Glazed. And then?

Chocolate, I guess. guess yeah me too but like that wasn't an assortment when you just give me three and one of them is like your special flavor but also do not write off the jelly filled I don't even know if it was jelly filled we didn't even get to it no not powdered jelly filled glazed jelly filled oh interesting interesting so Duncan fueled us up we drove to Nashville we realized on the way that we're driving through a time difference and we were like oh my god do we gain or lose an hour that wait because Nashville is So Duncan fueled us up. We drove to Nashville. We realized on the way that we're driving through a time difference. And we were like, oh my God, do we gain or lose an hour? Wait.

Because Nashville is central time and Knoxville was eastern time. You're kidding me. You know when we go to Nashville, it goes one hour back. Yeah, of course I know that. But you're saying in the same state? In the same state. So in Knoxville, it was eastern time and we drove west towards Nashville and we entered a new time zone.

Wait, I'm sorry I'm just really struggling I really want you to get to the end of your story but like I'm really struggling with this new piece of information I'm just learning there's two different time zones in one state I think in a lot of states they have different twisted twisted what who thought that would be helpful no and it's like we had to do quick math and it turned out that we gained an hour of travel time which was good but if it had been like the other way we would have missed the flight and we wouldn't have realized we'd be driving towards nothing oh my god stop i would have been so confused like

yeah it was really confusing in the car clock didn't change i had to like manually change it because we were getting like so mixed up that's turnt so we get to nashville honestly the drive was like pretty pleasant like tenn Tennessee is just like so stunning. I know. And luckily like no one had to pee or anything. We were just like all enjoying our Dunkin. And we made it and we got to Nashville and we got to the gate. We had like about an hour before we boarded and we boarded and the plane took off.

And did you shed a tear? It was so beautiful. Can you believe? Yes. I mean, I actually, I don't think I ever. That is why I did not want to check a bag because if we were waiting for our Knoxville flight, how do you get your bags off to check bags? You can't.

This is the thing. We would have had no agency in the situation and we kept checking that Knoxville flight and I don't know if it ever took off. When we landed, it still hadn't taken off. The thing is, is that I personally would never have found myself in that particular situation because I'm always the one to opt to fly into the major airport and take a longer car ride. Like I went to Morocco and we were going to Marrakesh. But you fly into Casablanca and then you drive three hours to Marrakesh. Now some people took the connecting flight. We were all going to the same wedding.

Everyone on the flight was like going on the same wedding. Yeah. So some people took the one hour flight and some people took the three hour drive and we all got there at the same time. And I just had to sit in a car for three hours. So I just have to say, this is your sign. Like always go to the bigger airport and then take a car. Like flying into Nashville and driving was not an option for anyone because there was like a perfectly good airport, 30 minutes from Blackberry farm. And I will say when we booked our flights a few months ago for this trip, New York to Knoxville was a one-way trip and then Delta you know when all their shortages and all these airlines by the way the airlines are out of control what's going on there I know but Delta said this is no longer

a route you're now flying through Detroit next day you're flying through Atlanta every every day they kept changing the flights so we got what we got and And I had been dreading this two-stop flight ever since they moved the flights to two-stops. And it was worse than I could have imagined. No, I'm actually nervous because I have like a similar venture coming up. I'm going to Tully Ride, which in the winter is very easy to get to. In the summer, it's a one-stop. There's less flights? Yeah, because it's a ski destination.

Are there any days of the week? No. Are you sure? It's a winter. Trust me. There's not one day of the week no no are you sure it's a winter and trust me there's not one day of the week where there's one where there's non-stop there might be there might be but I can't go like what I'm gonna go on Monday the wedding's not till Sunday I have a work to do bring your microphone but like bring your microphone I worked so hard to find like I embraced my inner points girl and I found a flight with lay flat beds on the way

there and then there's like the 30 minute flight like two montros but you don't want to drive from the major airport it's six hours that's where I draw the line that's why I'm saying I'm like in a similar predicament it's like an hour flight no not 30 minutes um it's just really long like trust me I looked into all all possible journeys and I'm just now I mean, obviously things aren't back to normal, but like people are traveling again. And it's like, I kind of didn't miss this part, you know? No, no, no.

I'm cured for life. I'll be sitting in this chair for the next 10 years, never going anywhere again. Every time I travel, I'm like mostly have a negative experience, like pretty much all the time. Like I swear to myself, I'm like, I'm never traveling again. But then it's like the thirst for adventure, the wanderlust,

just gets to me. That's so you. So me. I'm a points girl at heart. You can't, I had a dream I killed the points guy. Murdered,

like hardcore. It wasn't an accident. Like murder and buried his body. And then like the, First degree. Yeah, the investigation was like getting really close to me

and like I knew my time was up. And I just like felt so sad that like I killed my friend. I was like so sad for his parents. Like so sad like for my social life. Like there was just so many elements to it was really a terrible dream so you must have been glad to wake up no wonder you're in a good mood today oh and part of the reason I wanted to say I was in a good mood today is I changed my alarm and moved back 30 more minutes just to give myself a little bit more grace snooze time no not even

to snooze just to like move slower moved it back okay okay just to like move slower and like take my time like I fucked up my makeup on my foundation I just started over because like I had time and I think I'm gonna keep that I was really inspired by Margo like she wakes up at 6 30 to work out I'm not that extreme I just needed to wake up like a little bit earlier just to like enjoy my morning instead of like literally looking in the mirror and like hating myself you know yeah I did have a long morning too I woke up like way before my alarm because I went to sleep like an hour earlier due to the long day she fell asleep early yeah but I actually feel more rested the other way when I sleep as long as I possibly can but you know what no I don't like you gotta switch it up you would think like more time equals

more energy but no I think like just being rushed and like hating the way you look like that ruins my day yeah you know what I mean yeah like I had time to do my tiktok inspired not Olivia inspired hair and like I'm just feeling myself you know yeah and I want to radiate that energy for everyone feel yourselves on these but it's Monday feel it even though like it literally looks like it's midnight here in our studio because the sun just like is gone and the scaffolding is just enclosing us in darkness. We're still here to be bright and shiny. It is technically morning.

We didn't just record at night. It's not the midnight toast. And pass it off. Yeah, no, no. It's fully August 10th. I have no idea. Yeah, I think it is. That's crazy.

That doesn't sound right. No, it is. August 9th. Okay. Oh my God. Single digits. Single digits. There's a difference. For sure. There's a difference. crazy that doesn't sound right no it is august 9th okay oh my god single digits single day there's a difference for sure there's a difference though i was i just like got randomly so excited for fall

this morning oh my that's so weird that you said that because you know how like your phone does like on this day and like i clicked it and one of the pictures was just me in like a sickening fall look and i was just like yes they don't it's not on this day by the way just so you know my on this day is just like oh on your photos app yeah yes it's not on this day it's not on this day it's random pics you might want to see totally I thought you meant time hop which is very accurate very to the minute no on literally so the picture that came up today was just like you know one of my sickening fall Fendi looks and I'm just really excited to getting back to being her because August Jackie O is nothing of the sort.

That's so funny. I was having a similar conversation with Ben yesterday because like I'm so looking forward to the holidays. And I remember last Christmas being, it was snowing and I'm like, last Christmas. I remember saying to Ben or like, no, I actually said it to myself. I said next Christmas, like I want to be in a different apartment because like I live in a bunker with no windows and I can't see the snow. And I'm like, and now I'm like, it's August

and I'm like still in the apartment. Like I'm making, like I will not be in this apartment by Christmas. I want to see the snow. Like I just like, I need, I need a shift in energy, you know? Like even the best apartments after a while just become somehow like toxic places.

I completely agree. And I've reached my toxicity limit. Like I'm so ready to move you know what we should do we should apartment swap for like a week what do you think sure except I mean like I have to bring all my shit no but like I feel like you you know you just need to like get outside new perspective like I love your apartment I think you like mine yeah of course no I just think like when you're in a space that no longer serves you it can be very mentally taxing I'm being dead fucking serious I completely it can really contribute to like anxieties like I

really believe that it has a true impact on your mental state and I feel like I'm now at a place where my apartment no longer serves me mentally or physically and if I don't see the snow this Christmas like I I know it's like sounds weird it sounds like a Hallmark movie thing but like if I don't see the snow this Christmas like I'm done it does sound like a good plot for a Hallmark movie like will she move before Christmas no I know and then she like moves in and the snow's falling down and it's not for lack of trying mom this is beautiful. Exactly.

Like, that's what I want. Like, I'm going to get my ass a Christmas tree. Like, for sure. Like, that's how, that's how convinced I am. That's still the line. But I just want to say it's not for lack of trying. Like, I'm, the fact that I didn't move during the pandemic, like literally haunts me at night because everyone thought like this was an apocalyptic state and like rent was literally

down by 50%. It was so cheap. And there was one in my building and it was just like a little too much money and now I'm like you dumb fucking bitch I just spend the money you fat ugly whore like I'm so mad at myself like not a day goes by that I don't think about like not taking that apartment in my own building like and everyone moved who like stayed in the city and like got such great deals and now it's literally like highest rent since the dawn of time and it's not for like there's no inventory like I check every day and it's just like what I want, I can't afford. And it's like until then, I just need to work harder.

Is the apartment in your building still available? No, I literally email the realtor every day. Hey, I'm still here if you're looking for a tenant. Damn. Yeah, it's so upsetting. Sometimes you have to learn the hard way and it's so hard. I know, but sometimes I still think about the apartment and like it was too much money.

Like I stand by that. Really? It was more than like you would put into your search criteria now? No, but like the thing is, and I was talking about with Ben, like I am so fiscally responsible when it comes to my rent and nothing else. Like in my life. Also you need, like you should loosen up a little bit because your apartment is where you spend all of your time. It's where work it's where ben works it's where theo

works yeah and like it's not just like you're one of those new york city people it's like it's just a place to sleep no it's not it's a place to literally exist yeah no no i know so i'm like why am i so and i just have like a really good apartment right now for like so little it's like i can't believe how little i pay it's's like so fabulous. But like I think I need to like like I'm constantly like spending money like it's nobody's business but like not on the thing that matters most my home. That matters most where you spend I would say 95% of your time. 97. Yeah. So that's what I'm currently working with and just like keep me on track. I need you guys to keep me accountable like I will see the snow at Christmas like I will.

Okay. I will. That's exciting. I mean I guys to keep me accountable. Like, I will see the snow at Christmas. Like, I will. Okay. I will. That's exciting. I mean, I think moving is just so much fun and so exciting. And I think changes. I still just want, like, outdoor space. Like, I just, I need to elevate my. Well, now you're crazy. Really?

I don't know. I mean, you don't get it all. I know. And, like, I just don't want a balcony. Like, I want a full-blown, like, terrace. Yeah. No. Out of control.

Like, a wrap-around. Like, no, I'm fully out of control. Okay, cool. Well, I'll look for you. That's, like, a fun task. Please. Like, I know Zach'm fully out of control. Um, okay, cool. Well, I'll look for you. That's like a fun task. Like I know Zach is always on street easy. Like he's been sending me links. None of them are working currently, but like keep it coming. Okay, cool. Cool. That's exciting. Yeah. So that's the journey. Like I'm currently on nice. Well, now that in addition to watching literally every single piece of television that ever existed that

I can't wait to talk about in the TV recap, I don't know how you do it. Oh my god. No like that's why I was excited to like that's why I'm not dreading this Monday. I have so much to talk about. Love is Blind after the altar. Love Island. OBX. I won't spoil it but like White Lotus. Like I just watched everything on Planeter.

What did you think about White Lotus? I'm like two episodes behind so don't spoil anything. Hate. Right? Okay no I'm only on like episode two. I'm not even gonna finish it. Me and Ben cannot get through it. We're just like looking looking at each other we're like why isn't this show good it's so slow but like Connie Britton's amazing the cast is aesthetically pleasing interesting premise

it's like murder on the orient like what happened it's atrocious yeah I said the same thing I really we're so in the minority I couldn't put my finger on it but I will say so I think I watched three episodes and I haven't watched last night or the week before and I'm kind of like looking forward to just to watching it more just because it's it's not unenjoyable um and maybe it just goes to like show the state the low state of content these days that's what you know there's not there's so much good tv on so I'm like this is what everyone's raving about. When I first started, I'm like, oh my God, stunning. This Connie Britton moment. The cast is really great. The cast. I was like, this is great. And then it just, Jennifer Coolidge, you saw his testicles. I know. Crazy. I can't believe that didn't go viral on TikTok. No, totally. And I was just like,

Jennifer Coolidge, but like, what is she doing? I don't know. Like she's being such a freak. I just, I couldn't believe that. And that's maybe an unpopular opinion. But I just couldn't believe that this was the show everyone was like felling over. Yeah. No I agree with you. That was my takeaway also. But I am going to keep watching it.

Thank you for that, Claudia. Now our first story is actually our final Olympics recap. Thelympic games of 2020 held in 2021 are officially a wrap they had the closing ceremonies they passed the baton to paris for

the 2024 games i love how like no one watches the closing ceremonies yeah and they said that's that on that but the uh nbc olympics did have a Jonas Brothers performance of Remember This, which is the official song of the Olympics. And it was unbelievably stunning. It wasn't live or anything, but it was still gorgeous. I'm going to have to check that out. That's like a, that's a song. Yeah. It's definitely a song.

I'm really looking forward to checking that out. It was really good. Also, the final medal count is in and the U.S. has eked out their win. 39. Slim, slim, slim. By the hair on our chinny chin chin. 39 gold medals for the U.S. to China's 38. Japan 27.

Great Britain 22. ROC 20. And in the overall medal count, the U.S. had 113. China had 88. Japan had 58. Great Britain had 65, and the ROC had 71. I mean, it was touch and go there for a minute because China was really ahead of us in the gold medals.

We were never going to lose the overall. We were ahead the whole time. But the gold medals is equally as important. And we were really behind. And a couple people pulled it out. And I just think they deserve a shout out. The indoor women's volleyball team for the first time

I think ever won. Of course men's basketball won and of course women's basketball won. And I just found out that like the queen of the women's basketball team, Sue Bird, who I thought Ben might be in love with, she is married or dating to Meg Rapinoe from the soccer team. No way. So there's no way Ben can get in there. Thank God.

And then also the women's beach volleyball duo team the a team filled with toasters won thank god so like that's when we really started to like ramp up on China like the basketball the indoor sports like we really just like cinched it and it was I'm so grateful like to every single gold medal winner for taking us there yes really exciting and also I'm just curious so clearly like the U.S. won the Olympics because we won in both categories but say China won gold medal count and we won overall who won the Olympics the person who wins overall I think I mean there's no winner like there's no I mean the whole thing is about gold

silver and bronze and then you're gonna say there's no winner yeah I do feel like it's weird that there's not an official winner by country in terms of medal count just because it is such a competitive competition um but there's not so like there really is no considered there's no winner considered I think that that is a mistake like there should be of all the olympics like you know 2014 the winner was actually that wasn't in no kind of how like there's all these international competitions like eurovision there's a winner um World Cup World Cup yeah no for sure it's kind of weird it's like they they brought it all the way to the end zone but it's not across the line no that's a really good point but like in my mind I've always like tallied up the winner in my head

but it's not an official winner yeah interesting really interesting but I'm glad to know that again there's no you know confusion and we don't have to duke it out oh my god Ilona Marr follow me on TikTok she's like this woman's rugby player who went like she has like millions of TikTok followers because she was like TikToking through the Olympic village and one of her videos came up on my for you page and it said follows you and I was like what Ilona Marr follows me so yeah I'm just like kind of like an Olympic influencer that's really cool but we already knew that yeah no like not me facetiming drunk with Olympians in my bathroom I actually spoke to Emma Coburn I forgot to mention um about our FaceTime because

the last time we podcasted I don't know if you guys listened I was really kind of anxious about like getting blackout drunk and facetiming an Olympian and I wasn't even sure she like knew I was drunk or she thought this was like I was just like a weird person sober and she said she definitely knew and that she loved it so like thank god oh my god I told you you know I had nothing to worry about that's so exciting it really is so that's that on that on the Olympics this has been really fun uh the good news is is that the next Olympics are in less than six months so we have that to look forward to and you know what I can't remember I don't think I've ever watched the winter Olympics since being a very proficient skier and so now I'm really excited to watch because I think I'll have more skin in the game you know what once I said like once the

Olympics are over I will be like depressed and I thought I was gonna be but I have I can't lie I'm curious if other people felt this way. I felt very overwhelmed. Between just like all the TV that's already on, like Love Island being on every night, all the Real Housewives, like there was so much TV to watch. And then the Olympics, which were on 24-7. Yeah. I felt very overwhelmed and not in a fun way. Like in the beginning, I was like, this is fun.

I'm overwhelmed. But then I'm like, this is not fun. I'm not overwhelmed. So now that the Olympics are over, I just want to say I'm not as devastated as I thought I would be. Like, I don't have FOMO. Like, I'm actually relieved. Yeah.

I think you got your Olympics fix. Yeah. And the fact that there's another one six months away, like, I'm already feeling, like, choked. Overwhelmed. Yeah. No, but it's so exciting. You'll be in your new apartment.

I better be. With the snow falling, watching the ice skating. I better be. So when is the, what is it, January? What's six months? It's August. February. Eight plus six, 14, february cool see you in february yeah i'll definitely be in my in my new digs yeah that's exciting yeah new spot come through i'll be there okay so we're officially we're officially putting

Written by me, it's about 240 pages. And if you buy the hard copy, you get pictures in the middle. So pictures are great. Thank you for that, Claudia. Speaking of books oh my god i'm so sorry that's like dropping the bible no i'm kidding that was a joke speaking of books um new redheads episode is coming out on thursday i've been reading the book i'm almost done with it it's so good and so cute and like it really has a camper counselor vibe if you really look into it um read between

the lines uh clara and the sun by kazuo ishiguro and it's really read. And I'm just, I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens. I have no idea where it's taking me. But I'm enjoying the ride. It kind of has like a Black Mirror vibe. Oh, stay away. But nothing spooky. Stay away, I don't want it. Nothing spooky.

I will never. It reminds me of the episode, the Ashley O episode most. I will never, ever watch that show again. I mean, it's really good. You guys know why. You guys know why. Oh, stop. Go away.

Don't make me say it. We're not even on story two. You're not going to ruin the show. Go to story two. Are you ready for story two? Mm-hmm. Is it about the prime minister? Who is the fucking president?

I was literally about to make a joke, but I was like, I can't even speak it. I can't speak it into. Next story. but I was like I can't even speak it I can't speak it into next story Jessie J apologizes to Nicki Minaj over Bang Bang mix up seven years after the song's release this is something it is seven years after the Jessie J Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj collab Bang Bang popped on the charts the trio song is making and changed the world and changed the world and just gave us so much that we didn't even deserve at the time. And I feel like now, seven years later, it's just like, I can't believe we even had that. No, and now it's like finding out that literally everyone involved in the song hates it.

I don't know. It's just like, it's crushing. It is. It turns out that Jessie J and Nicki Minaj remember the beginnings of the single a little differently. And Minaj called out Jessie J's version of the story, which the singer had discussed in a recent interview with Glamour on Friday.

As Jessie J recalled, she said, quote, Nikki was plated in the studio and was like, I've got to jump on this. We didn't go to her and ask. She wanted to do it. But according to Nikki, who responded to Jessie's- And by the way, Jessie J was like, and that was like the honor of a lifetime.

Like I remember being in my apartment, hearing her verse and thinking like, how was this my life? It was a very complimentary conversation in the interview. But according to Nikki, who responded to Jesse's quotes on Thursday with a correction, I didn't hear the song and asked to get on it. The label asked me to get on it and paid me.

She tweeted, how would I have heard the song? Sorry, this billboard is just all ads everywhere. So she said that they paid it, paid her for the song and she didn't hear the song before and she like kind of took it as an insult that like Nikki would hear a song and want to jump on it she was very defensive yeah she but for what it's worth she did want to get on Jessie J's song do it like a dude after catching it on the radio she said but the worst part about

this no one ever asked me she tweeted with laughing face emojis. I have been obsessed with that song since the minute I heard it. Because then in Jessie J's follow-up, she's talking about do it like a dude. And I was like, where does that come into play? Okay, well, I'm just focused on the bang bang of it all. Because I just feel like, oh wait,

and then Jessie J responded and like. She, on Friday, she apologized to Nikki over the confusion about bang bang. She came to be with a meme filled lengthy post on Instagram writing I respect you publicly being yourself at Nikki so here I am being myself this is a video of me back in 2015 on stage shaking the piss out of myself which is basically an hour of my set it was made into a meme about two weeks ago is that what this is really about and where this weird energy began between us began I don't understand Jesse's essay at all. No, okay, so there's this video of Jesse J,

like while the song is playing, it's Nikki's part, and it seems she's like mouthing it, but not really. She's just kind of like, I guess, quote, taking the piss out of herself. I don't know. Jesse's response made no fucking sense. Maybe Nikki saw that video and got offended by it, and then she said, or maybe it was when he used me

as a stair rail at the AMAs. So there's like a meme of Nicki walking down the stairs and holding onto Jessie's arm. Yeah. I really did not understand Jessie J's response, but all I know was that

she was hella overcompensating for like something that she thought she did wrong. Right. And I don't know if I'm unique in this, but like this is just like a prime example of like

why I don't stand Nicki Minaj. Like I feel like she's always taking an opportunity to like start a fight with someone. And this was just like a prime example of like why I don't stand Nicki Minaj. Like I feel like she's always taking an opportunity to like start a fight with someone. And this was just like so unnecessary. Like okay if you really felt that strongly that you needed to correct the narrative. Which is like not a big deal. Like if people thought but I understand you want your story out there. I just felt like she came like so hard at Jessie J.

Like for literally no reason. Yeah. And it just makes it hard to be like a Nicki Minaj fan. When she's just like she's really not a woman who supports other women yeah I agree with you though knowing that she's team Monique like I definitely want it changes things I I just want to you know keep that in mind no it's true because it really proves that you have like a very strong logical reasonable head on your shoulders right but I don't understand like okay so say Jessie got the timeline wrong or someone told her something to make her feel better

about the song that she wrote. I am sure that both of the way that these two women experienced it are both true. Like, there's a label involved. They want to keep artists happy. Nothing that Jessie said was in any way

disrespectful to Nicki Minaj. So she could have, like, cleared up, she could have cleared the air and been like, oh my God, that's not how it even happened. Like, the label said this and that.

Just so funny how, you know, this all came to be. Right. It didn't, unless they just, unless Nicki Minaj just didn't like Jessie J and that's a possibility also it is kind of crazy that like this song was so big Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande are so big and they've collabed so many times and it is it was like a little bit random that Jessie J was on the song 100% and I thought oh for sure Jessie J wrote the song Ariana wrote the song and Ariana's done an interview basically being like, I can never sing that song again. She has like sang it so many times because it was so popular.

So just knowing that like this iconic, literally one of the best songs of the last 10 years is so deeply despised by everyone who has been a part of it. And now it's like riddled with controversy. That makes me sad. And I just really felt like this was so unnecessary of Nicki Minaj. And it's just like, I feel like she doesn't really make music a lot anymore. So every time I'm hearing about her, she's just like starting a fight with someone. And it's like, leave Jessie J alone.

You are the queen of rap and Jessie J is barely hanging on to her relevancy by a thread. Leave her alone. I don't know. It just felt so unnecessarily mean girl. I agree. I totally agree. Even though I think Jessie J. And this is probably the highlight of Jessie J's career. Whereas Nikki and Ariana have many highlights and this is just one of them but so to take to take away from like the one big one for her. Agreed. It's just a little sad. Totally. And Jessie I don't know why it never really happened for Jessie J. That's what I was about to say. I think that she is is so talented I love a lot of her music she doesn't

really put oh actually she just put out a song called I Want Love and it's so fucking good she obviously has like bad management like she there's something about Jessie J that like the world refuses to like accept yeah but like she didn't really help herself when she like performed at like an award show with an she like sat the whole time because she had a broken foot and like she bedazzled her cast. And like, for me, that's really all I remember about Jessie J. Actually, if you're ever wondering like, why do Jackie and Claudia think that Jessie J is so underrated? You must go watch the videos of her on YouTube in that really big Chinese talent show. Yeah. It's like this show in China that like people who are already famous go on, but it's like great to go on to like expand your Chinese audience. And she won first of all, and she has like four or five performances. She did a bunch of Whitney Houston. I'm trying to

remember which song she did. Whatever. Literally, you've never heard vocals like that in your life. It's so spectacular. She's so talented and she writes amazing songs, but there's something like about her that just won't take off. That doesn't hit and doesn't stick. I know. Even like she's super relevant like with her relationship with Channing Tatum. Like she really has all the makings of like what should be a huge pop star, but there's something about it that just doesn't work. Yeah and that makes me sad because I'm a big fan of hers. Same. And I just like with this whole drama I do stand with Jessie J. Like you're right this is the highlight of her career. I'm like Ariana and Nikki like couldn't care less about it, which I get because they're accomplished in their own way. But like it just really felt like

really unnecessary of Nikki to come at her like this. Yeah, I agree. Like it's been how many years and she's still doing interviews about it. Like oh my god, stop. I'm gonna cry. You know what I mean? It's like Nikki's not like. No. So it was just kind of sad. Yeah yeah the whole thing was really sad and then like the saddest part was jesse's jay's response to nikki's like yeah unnecessary should we get dinner lol no you know like all these like a whole essay on instagram with like memes like she was just overcompensating so hard because like she obviously doesn't want to mess up this one great thing like in her career yeah. And it makes me really sad. Yeah, I felt sad after just the whole synopsis.

It was honestly, like, a really emotional journey, this whole thing. Yeah, and it ruins, like, what is a really great iconic song. She might have let you hold her hand at school, but I'm going to show you how to graduate. Now I don't need to hear you talk the talk, just show me what your mama gave you. Dee da da, dee da da, ooh! Don't, don't wanna say your bad, ooh!

Santa, but, like so good. So fucking good. It's six piece gotta, six piece gotta, six piece gotta, it's ooh, ooh, it's Swoopin' in the gatta wee, chitterlin' in the gatta wee, Dippin' in the potty woo, fo, cho, She's so good, it's turnin' on, we're gettin' rotten, And that could, oh, Bang bang ramada, bang bang ramada, Queen niggity damina, ramina, It's me, Jessie and Ari. If they test me, they sorry.

Ride us up like a Harley and roll us in this Ferrari. If he hanging, we banging. Phone ringing, we slaying. If that karaoke might take him from my cousin's saying. Oh, B to the A to the N to the G to the hey. And then Jessie J hits, oh no, Ariana hits that note. Wait, who hits the note? I mean, the G to the A. And then Jessie J hits. Oh, no. Ariana hits that note.

Wait, who hits the note? I mean, they're all hitting notes. They're hitting everything. No, I think it's Jessie J. It's so good. Yeah. I will actually will not let this story overtake the legacy of that song. I will not.

I will not. Will I? No. No, she will not. I'm not will I am. I'm will I not. So I think we should move on before it does. Yes.

No, I'm getting like sweaty. Sorry. Are you ready for our next story? Yeah. Rihanna reacts to becoming a billionaire with the best three word response. So last week Forbes revealed that Rihanna's estimated net worth is about $1.7 billion. She's almost a two time billionaire. Yeah, right?

Like you're a little late then. Seriously. You're about 7.7. I understand not wanting. 700 million late. I understand not wanting to make the announcement at like 1.0 because like, you know, it's still touch and go. Maybe the stock market has a bad day.

But like 1.1, 1.2, like why they wait till 1.7? Yeah. She is now the richest female musician in the world and the second richest female entertainer only behind Oprah Winfrey. That's crazy because like I don't even think of her as a musician anymore. I know. When paparazzi approached her and asked her what it meant to her to be a self-made billionaire she only had three words to capture how blessed she

is. She said quote God is good. Oh I mean this is obviously not shocking at all because Fenty Beauty is so popular so is Savage X Fenty. Like she's a million endeavors that are just so sickening and I just feel like this is happy and sad news because it's happy we're so happy for Rihanna I just feel like this sets us back even more you know music in the music department and I actually think it's inherently possible like we will never get new music and like I think we as a society like have to come to grips with that and if we get one great but I just think our expectations should be really low just when it comes to music yeah our expectations should be zero really yeah so we'll only be pleasantly surprised if it happens but not disappointed if it doesn't yeah I agree so when I heard this news I'm like that's amazing

but we're one step further from new music exactly I feel like but it's so impressive always like doing collabs still you know yeah always lending her talents seconds from while in that is also I think one of the most underrated songs like ever so fucking good and it's like what does Paul McCartney do unclear because you don't really hear him but happy that he got to hang out with Rihanna and Kanye yeah speaking of Kanye Don is still not out. Yeah. But Kim went back to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, so all is right in the world. Right, right.

And the kids were there and she was all dressed up. Yeah, her outfit wasn't as sickening this time. But it was Kanye-ified. Yeah. Oh, you know, I liked it just as much as I liked the other one in the sense that, like, it was, she was doing something.

She was wearing a ski mask. Yeah, no, but she was doing something. It wasn't for me. Okay. Until, like, you'll be wearing it in two years for sure that's how the world works for sure so i was just glad to see them all together like even if donda you know whenever it comes i'm just they're giving us like co-parenting modern family vibes you know yeah and they're giving us hope you know what i recently i feel like they could get back together i feel like they might be single I feel like they could too I feel like they might realize that really there's no one on their level and that it's not the grass isn't greener I actually

think that's entirely possible as well you know what I recently re-watched as in recently I meant yesterday um airplane karaoke with Kanye and James Corden it's so good so good it's so impressive like i always forget about sunday service because they haven't done in a while or maybe they have but like kim's not storing it it's literally the most impressive thing yeah so good if you're ever feeling down like i just really make a youtube playlist of like things i watch when i'm down that includes jesse j and all of her chinese talent show performances it includes that video of beyonce singing in the back of the car. It includes a couple Fifth Harmony covers before they were famous,

before they started releasing music. Lego House, so good. Red Taylor Swift, so good. The making of Getaway Car, The Bridge. Like, there's just so many YouTube videos I could list off. Caitlyn and Sean's Engagement. I don't watch that anymore, just out of respect. But I used to watch it all the time. One of my favorites but you know she's in a better place and maybe if we

get a televised version of their engagement I'll have something to replace it with on my playlist. We actually have one. Televised? Not televised. Like we have a video of Jason and Caitlin's engagement because remember they were like recording for the podcast. Yeah I'm pretty sure it is. Okay. Are you ready for our next story which is about relationships so it's a great segue. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is. Okay. Are you ready for our next story, which is about relationships? So it's a great segue. It's a great segue into my best relationship.

The one with my dog, Theo. Oh my goodness. And if you guys listen to the show, you know that our dogs are a huge part of our family.

A bit of relationship news. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tyler Cameron and girlfriend Camila kendra split after eight months tyler is crazy c and his girlfriend have split after eight months of dating and only one week after he called her his soulmate pitch six has learned that's what i was thinking he literally just said she's his soulmate i'm watching do you think that the timing is like at all suspicious like what is this 10 days after he sat down with me for an hour? And he sat down with Theo. I think he saw like what his life could be.

And he was like, I don't know if I could have this with Camilla. Yeah. Because Theo belongs to Claudia. I just think, I think the timing, it's worth pointing out. Yeah. A source told Page Six that things took a turn, which is a weird thing. I really want to know what happened. Which is a weird thing to say.

Which, that's a weird thing. Because literally they were on Watched Happens Live together one week ago. Soulmate. The word soulmate was used. Though he also said. And if we're finding out now it must have it couldn't have been yesterday. It must have been a few days ago. Yeah. But he also it couldn't have been that much different if he like they were together a week ago. But he also said it must have been really abrupt though. You know like there's no. No but I'm saying if this article is out today there's no way they broke up this morning like this must be a few days old yeah and he was on Watch What Happens Live a week ago so this literally must have broken up three days after Watch What Happens Live he was also spotted in Jacksonville

Dumois posted with a blonde girl all over him so it looks like he had a single weekend so they probably broke up late last week but I will say just like maybe he used the word soulmate he also called Matt James his soulmate so like maybe he could still say like Camilla is a soulmate maybe he thinks you can have a lot of soulmates yeah maybe he's one of those people who thinks like your friends are your soulmates yeah maybe they're friends but things took a turn just quickly that usually we don't get that we get scheduling we get this we get that yeah no and it's like over the course of time, like we're questioning like, did they break up? They unlike this photo.

Yeah, they unfollowed each other. But like they are broken up. Like 100% hard. It's over. I wonder why. Like when you're both so stunning, what is there to fight about? I don't know.

I'll ask Ben. Oh, also? I think he might need some emotional support. So if you wanted to send Theo down to his place. Yeah Dr. Jacksonville. That would be so sweet. I just kind of want to put some of the rumors to rest. Okay. I'm not wearing my ring today because I forgot so just I know everyone's like constantly thinking like me and Ben. Thinking stuff. I'm the queen of forgetting to wear my ring. And it's just so crazy how like when I don't wear my ring which is probably 50% of the time

people are like Jackie's not wearing her ring right do you watch a show no but like what about the other 50% when I am right right I'm usually pretty good but like I genuinely forgot today also my nails are so disgusting I just don't think it's right to put diamonds on these fingers my nails are disgusting brittle cracked I have had not one opportunity I haven't gotten a manicure in so long my nails are I might have to go today because I just it will it will improve my mental health if I stop looking at these hands no I mean I literally left the house yesterday and walked around the block went to two different places to try and get my nails done closed that's really upsetting you know I was saying to bed this used to be the city that never slept recently everyone's sleeping

I just, whenever I think of Lion Air, i think of the orphans and children and widows of course um they unveiled their new coach built what sports car whatever okay other important factoid in photos shared by real housewives of orange county alum lydia mclaughlin and her husband doug the pair smiled along zell weger and anstead in formal attire for the big night so unclear i mean clearly Lydia and her husband were at this event unclear if this is you know a dynamic foursome definitely not or Lydia is a fan and asked to take a picture and now it just looks like they were hanging out

Ant is going to be on the cover of the next seasonal issue of Nobleman yeah that the hottest magazine in all of Orange County that really could happen. I'm just really in shock over the whole thing. Like, first of all, Renee Zellweger dating a reality star, it's shocking and it never becomes less shocking. He's actually not a reality star. He's a British TV host. Okay, that's, what does he host? Reality shows?

No, like these car shows. Like, I don't know. He's not a reality star. Okay, reality star Jason? Yes, because he was married to Christina for 11 seconds yeah so just Renee Zellweger dating him like when you get such an a-lister and it's kind of reminding me of like Zooey Deschanel and the Property Brothers yes oh my god that's gorgeous which at its time was shocking and now it's just a fact of life no not for me I'll still never be surprised by it.

They're so, like they've been together for so long, I don't think there's any, you know, issues there. So it's just like a fact of life. Like Zooey Deschanel dates the Property Brothers. And married? No. Okay. The other one got married.

Like this to me is, you know, like Nick Vile dating January Jones. Like it's shocking stuff. Gia Dee dating Tyler Cameron. It's shocking stuff. So I haven dating Tyler Cameron. It's shocking stuff. So I haven't had a chance to just come here and say that. Well, I have more layered information for you if you're ready for it. So obviously this whole thing is so weird because how you go, like this is, this is connecting Heather Rae Young to Renee Zellweger. We know that it's just a crazy turn of events, but what's even crazier. i saw it on tiktok this girl did a huge deep dive because she too was like obsessed with the layeredness of it all did you know that aunt anstead has a sister correct me i might be getting this wrong but it's somewhat of the same

je ne sais quoi elk or or it's either his sister or his sister-in-law started a podcast a little while ago with Heather Rae Young. No. And then one of them dropped off and they obviously don't do the podcast together anymore. I think it's Heather dropped off. That can't be. Yeah. Yeah. Like it's twisted.

That can't be right. Hold on. Let me find the TikTok. That just can't be right. She did like a huge in-depth. I don't know, you and your TikTok theories, like no offense, I read a fucking book about the Titanic because of your TikTok theories. And they literally squashed that rumor that you said of like with the.

Oh, they did? In one fucking second. What'd they say? Which rumor were you, there's a lot of like. The one that I was saying was that it was like a conspiracy because the Federal Reserve or something. Okay, they didn't even mention that. That's how, of like. The one that I was saying was that it was like a conspiracy because the Federal Reserve or something. Okay, they didn't even mention that. That's how low level that theory is.

But the one where they swapped out the Olympic for the Titanic to get the insurance money for the Olympic. I didn't say that. And the guy was just like, why wouldn't you just start a fire if you want to sink the ship as opposed to killing a thousand people? Okay, I can't find the TikTok, but I will. And it's full of pertinent information. You really need to start questioning these TikToks.

Oh, I disagree wholeheartedly. Oh my God, no. I think they're incredibly... No, and I feel like what also comes to mind is that guy who started that rumor about Kanye. Yeah, but he was... That guy's just like a shit-starting YouTuber who does that for fame. I just, we really need to start questioning these TikToks,

so I'm questioning it. Is this it? I'll find it, but. Okay. And I'll post it on our reels. Okay, cool. It's worth, it's worth going down. And Sneetch's Anstead.

Okay, let's head into TV Recap. And T. Anstead. Because there's so much TV Recap that like it's oozing out of me. Let's just start plain and simple with the Real Housewives of Potomac from last night. How does that work? Oh yes, that's a great idea. Our TV recap segment is brought to you by Purple. Doesn't

it seem like the world's against us from getting a good sleep, good night's sleep this time of year? Talk about the warm weather like literally setting me up for failure. It's just not working. But when you have a Purple mattress, you can sleep cool and comfortable no matter what the world throws at you. That's because only purple mattresses have the grid. It's a unique ventilated design that allows air to flow through to help you sleep cool, even when it feels like a thousand degrees out. And the grid is amazingly supportive for your

back and legs while cushioning your shoulders, neck, and hips, no matter how you sleep. Unlike memory foam, which remembers everything, the grid bounces back as you move and shift. So you never get that I'm stuck feeling like you do with a memory foam. It's true. There's like a visible difference in not only how you move in a purple mattress, but also the cooling technology. Like basically everything I pair just for my bed

from the mattress, the pillows, the sheets, everything, it's just with the cooling technology in mind. And I didn't think I'd be able to find a mattress that had that technology available. But your girl who sweats at night is being taken care of. I just got a new purple mattress pillow and it's so delicious and i thought i had like decent pillows happening no i have to had to switch over all my pillows it was so fantastic perfect firm to softness ratio you can try your purple mattress risk-free with free shipping and returns and they also offer

Literally that house is so sickening. I actually looked it up because I'm like we should spend the weekend at the estate. Okay. Real Housewives of Potomac. Literally that house is so sickening. I actually looked it up because I'm like, we should spend the weekend at the estate. Okay. It's literally, the website's broken. Like I could not find a rate if my life depended on it. Like it's, the website's been down. Maybe so many people were looking it up because of last night. Oh, maybe.

Then it crashed. I have so many grievances with this episode, but the one that I literally cannot get over is Robin Dixon shoving Mia out of her room, not asking, but just telling. If anyone did that, it's so disrespectful, but Robin Dixon, like you don't carry that much weight in this show. Like you're barely hanging on to this cast by a thread. Don't be disrespectful. She was so, and the fact that Mia just took it because she finally got on a good place with Rob with Robin and Giselle and I think she saw what it could be like to be on the bad side and she wanted nothing to do with it so she just said okay no but it's

like Robin and Giselle literally can't help themselves when they were having cocktails with me and they were all really having a nice time and like they came to an understanding and they have an appreciation for Mia I was like wow how bad can Robin and Giselle really be like if you're friends with them it's probably fun and they're probably funny and you know it's a good time but like not even in the next scene they're just like they can't help but be so mean about even like this like she walked in in the gown she's like and Giselle in her commentary it's like is that the gown you wore to the strip club because she said it they literally can't get over there's a stripper pole and they're like, wow, you've obviously done that before. She's been so honest

about everything. Her clit, her meeting her husband at a strip club. She's literally not been lied about one single thing and they're just so nasty. Like I literally,

this episode, I didn't think it was possible to hate Giselle and Robin even more but I hate them so much and I cannot wait for Wendy, Zen Wen,

to rip the fuck into Giselle. Somebody has to do it. I can't believe that it's going to be Wendy who is the one who all of our hopes and dreams are relying on, you know? Because, I mean, after this episode, and Wendy really is just like all over the place this season. I have no idea, like, who is she? And it's like, if this were her first season,

I'd be like, oh, she's a great woman. But just in the context of last season, I'm just like, who just like who are you and I like even though I hate Giselle she is justified in her confusion about Wendy because like literally Wendy showed up on that bus looking snatched like that bodysuit that like showed her hips amazing who is this woman like she really is acting so different that it is confusing for everyone I wonder if it's the fame of the show I don't think it's because there's a rumor about Eddie so she had her whole body redone I think I don't know the timing is weird I think it's the show like I think she'd had one season I think she thought she got good reviews and now she's like

I'm gonna be the next Martha Stewart like really I don't think that people used those that those things used to happen more often like in the earlier days of Real Housewives where like you know you do one season and then all of a sudden you're true faith you know and like you have a big brand that you're gonna launch I don't think her first season was you know acclaimed enough for her to have that sort of takeaway and I also think it's the fame is like getting to her a little bit. I actually think that like this season I'm liking her more just because she's less up Robin and Giselle's ass. But this candle thing, like,

I'm sorry, I cannot get on board. Like I'm with your mom, like throwing away your doctorate and your political commentating career to start a candle line that your husband finances. Like that's just so cliche. And I just, I'm sorry.

Like I, I can't get on board. No, not at all. I don't even think it's cliche I think it's outrageous it's outrageous I've never heard of it before and she doesn't even have a passion for like owning her own business she didn't even know you like you needed a trademark like it's not like this is a huge dream of hers it's like every decision she's making in her personal life recently makes no fucking sense yeah and it's so contrary to who I thought she was so was she lying last season is she lying this season like who is the real Wendy so Giselle is asking a valid question there also the moment that really bothered me the most was when Candace was telling everyone what rooms

they would be in on the bus like into the microphone like I can't stand her can't diss like I she's so oh my god i i fast forward through her personal scenes because i do i do have to protect my mental health she just had so much like she was so excited to like tell karen you plan the trip what do you mean like the producers put your name on it so totally she was so excited to tell karen and wendy and um the other girl with who the other new girl oh she actually was bothering me last they're going to form an alliance and the main house girls are going to turn on each other the thing is that escala is a friend of robin not for long which is a huge red flag yeah yeah yeah next episode seems to be good because they

are finally having like a dinner all of them where they're going to talk about some stuff so over and ash Ashley finally shows up Ashley has no the fiery baton no but it's like it's she she just had a baton and she set it on fire because Giselle is the one who's supposed to bring up the Eddie rumors and so Ashley gave her one minute to do so before she's gonna tell Wendy and that's why I fucking love Ashley I love Ashley so much she is literally and even when and like I it's fucking Candace who's like you gave birth two minutes ago you're gonna come on the trip it's like you're coochie she's just so disrespectful like so your coochie's ripped open like are you kidding me like that's how we're talking about childbirth it's like that's how much Ashley takes

her job seriously like and you can see how attached she is to her baby she's wearing glam literally her newborn baby's three days old Giselle's coming over to look at her baby she hates Giselle and it's like she's literally putting her child near Giselle even though she probably doesn't want to in full glam literally her coochie ripped open and she that she's such a good housewife she's such a good housewife she never stops and she's such a good mom and she she'll probably bring the new baby with her and like she will do it fucking all and she will throw that fiery baton into the house and she showed up for one fucking day no i agree like i just and maybe it wouldn't be if like i didn't dislike

candace so much but like everything she does bothers me like oh i forgot to invite ashley to the girls night oh i forgot to invite ashley on the girls trip like just if you don't like like just be honest like no that i hate when people are like nasty and then they're like who me it's like no at least be nasty and fucking own it own it lisa a hundred percent so it was just like a really frustrating episode because i'm like i feel like i'm on this island alone with karen and you like and ashley yeah and they're just they don't have enough people on their side no but wendy is coming to the island and she's going to karen's hometown and if jell makes fun that was really smart if giselle makes fun of, that was really smart of Karen. If Giselle makes fun of Karen and her hometown one more time,

like, I can't. It's so disrespectful. You blink and you might miss it. Like, so rude. Everything that comes out of Giselle's mouth

is so judgmental. And then she's like, genuinely confused why people don't like her. Yeah. Oh my God, that was so rude. Everything is just a dig,

a dig, a dig. Yeah. So, I want Ray to live. I want Ray to pay his bills. Shut up. Shut up. up like she's literally holding on to this one thing that karen did at the reunion which was talking about things everybody already knew when giselle has literally built her housewife's career off the bones of other people's

personal business she brings up all the rumors she brings up all the cheating she brings up everyone's personal life everyone's husbands everyone's children that is literally who she is and karen did it once. Rightfully so. Rightfully so. Karen did it one fucking time. And Giselle thinks that like literally she's owed an apology for the rest of her life. With a fact. With receipts.

And Giselle lives in a glass house. She throws stones every fucking episode. She gets one stone in her window. And it's World War III. It's so hypocritical. How could she not like see herself? It's, you know, it's world war three it's so hypocritical like how could she not like see herself i it's she know it's reminding me of dorinda where it's like i'm having a hard time even watching this person be so for dorinda it was like so misbehaved and for giselle it's so

hypocritical it's the true definition of hypocrisy it's infuriating and last night was no exception like just the way they were sitting there does anybody want to apologize shut up yeah i want you to apologize and karen is just so mature and she's a queen her answers are perfect are you talking to me so good she's so composed like she doesn't like giselle get to her she's really a queen it affects her you know because they are so fucking mean to her so mean mean. But I'm sorry. Karen Huger is a role model. When Karen walked onto the bus in her stunning coat. Pink coat. Stunning.

Like she looked amazing. And Giselle and Robin were like, now that's like, what are you talking about, poncho? Poncho. One word. Poncho. Her coat was so pretty. Like, okay, first of all, even if it wasn't like

to make fun of someone in front of their face, but like, again, look in the mirror, pon poncho for Giselle to even make the slightest remark grimace about someone else's style whether that be interior design whether that be personal style fashion choices is literally the definition of hypocrisy no it's it's. It's the pot calling the kettle black. It's madness. And you know what I also find like crazy, but I don't mind it. It's like Giselle has gotten ripped apart for her style. Like every single season after season.

Like I think even when she thinks it's getting better, like it's actually just getting worse. Getting worse. And I just can't believe that she hasn't just like brought someone in to fix the problem. Yeah. Maybe like she just can't hide bad taste. Like you just can't. Yeah.

Or maybe she brings in someone who she thinks has good taste. Or maybe like, you know, she just writes that off as like, you know, haters. But like the haters actually have a really valid point. Like you need a stylist. Yeah. No, but like she would hire the wrong one still. Totally. Yeah.

So that's it. It's actually turning out to be a very good season. And I feel like this Wendy stuff is really going to blow shit up. Like I can't wait. Yeah. I'm like sad for Wendy's family has to be a very good season and I feel like this Wendy stuff is really gonna blow shit up like I can't wait yeah I'm like sad for that Wendy's family has to be drugged through the mud but like if that's what it took for her to see like who Giselle really is then it had to happen yeah and I'm sorry I'm sorry too okay let's talk about Love Island let's I have literally nothing happened last night there was a recoupling but basically one couple went home and it was just the America voted who their three favorite couples were Andre and Trina who like are actually like both open to delving more into whatever this

might be even though there's only like a week left um Olivia and Corey obviously and who was a Will and Kira boring Will and Kira that's a lie Will and Kira by the way because ever they were in the bottom and they haven't done anything to come out of the bottom. I think they got less votes. I think it's rigged. 100%. They got less votes because did you see their faces? I'm, I guess, two episodes behind me. They were shocked.

Because Cash still hasn't gone home. Oh. And I don't know who Andre is, I don't think. Is he new? Oh, he's a new Brazilian guy who came in for Olivia. Oh, okay. I met him. Yeah.

And also one other thing. Oh, I thought that Corey was going to choose Bailey. Let me guess. Jeremy got her? Yeah. And Jeremy one other thing. Oh, I thought that Corey was going to choose Bailey. Let me guess. Jeremy got her? Yeah. And Jeremy was in the bottom. With literally no fucking effort whatsoever. Jeremy was in the bottom with this other, these two other couples.

And literally like, we're like, we're saving Jeremy again. But this other couple full of new people who you like literally don't even need to meet because they left. She basically was, she like very outright said like, I'm not feeling a connection with this guy. So Ariel was like, who do you think has the least potential as here as a couple and they had to say this couple because she literally said she didn't like him like okay so of course Jeremy got saved and so did um Charlie and Alana who I love Alana oh my gosh oh and they're a couple now yeah

okay because I saw them on their way to coupledom so people just think that like Charlie's really toxic and like he used cash to get from Casa Amor into the house but I don't really see it that way like I actually think he's a genuine guy I don't like I've been reading a lot of like Reddit and like tweets and people just like are not here for Charlie they think he's like you know a user I don't really get that vibe like he's allowed to explore like he was really into Cash when they got back to the house Cash was so clearly caught up with Cinco like of course it would turn him off and I think he was justified in exploring other things and he was into Alana and he chose Alana and by the way Cash wasn't even mad the second she got

sent home she's packing her thing she's like I can't wait to see Cinco like it was always Cinco so why are we mad at Charlie for sending her home when Cash is literally here saying it was always Cinco yeah I agree I watched the breakup or the attempted breakup go down I and I felt like he was pretty honest like and I don't you know I don't really know what he I don't know what more people want from him yeah so but what's so funny is like the girls are so hypocritical and like nobody fucking calls him out like first of all Olivia with Corey like I watching her try and talk about like how she wants to salvage their you know their love when there's nothing there whatever fine she can say what she wants but wait so he's into Bailey and

he's talking to Bailey and having a lot of conversations with Bailey and they're like how do I know if he's disrespecting me and Cash was like if he um kisses her or if he like lies about something and then literally Olivia and he she's like is Corey's head turning is Corey's head turning then those two new guys come in and Olivia goes into the confessional she's like my head is turned and it's like imagine if Corey acted like that when Bailey showed up and she like she kisses him like so quickly and like just everything she's saying is like if Corey did those things it would be like over a lot of these girls are literally the definition you either die the hero or live long enough to become the villain because towards the end of Cash's time they're like she was starting to be like a little hypocritical just

in like the way she did with charlie and like she literally did things with charlie that she was mad at cinco for doing like it was just becoming like a little obvious so charlie tries to communicate and charlie said this he's like you're all about communication but i tried to communicate with you that you got up and walked away and walked away and like so charlie says like i don't want to continue further and cash can't And Cash can't handle it. And then literally the next day is like, Charlie says, I mean, Cash says to Charlie, you can tell me anything. Yeah, no, she was unraveling in the Charlie thing.

Most, I think probably because she was like still just like upset about Cinco. But I actually think that's why I think it's perfect timing that she left because she's beloved. She, they booked her flight home. She had a layover in DC. Cinco met her in DC they met up she missed her connecting flight she went home with him and had family dinner with his family like that ended the way it was supposed to end she got a storybook ending and I think like people were

really sad that she left but I think literally a perfect time could not have come faster like it was starting to sour it was starting to just be like you're saying things and doing things that are miscan like misaligned like yeah it was a perfect time and now you're saying that so and so can go talk to so and so but then like you're so upset and then things that are misaligned. Yeah. It was a perfect time. And now you're saying that so-and-so can go talk to so-and-so, but then like you're so upset. And then like you were just like saying and doing like the exact opposite things. And I think a lot of the girls are guilty of that. So now it's like Olivia's kind of the last OG who's like still relevant.

Like Trina's OG, but she's so quiet and she's like so stunning and perfect. Like I can't, I don't have a bad word to say about her. Like she should win even though she has no connection with this guy, just because like they deserve it. Like she has been through a lot on this show like she should win even though she has no connection with this guy just because like they deserve it like she's been through a lot on this show and she should have

went home like a thousand times but she's sticking it out and she has such a positive attitude and she's such a good friend like I just love her no I love her but Olivia is like

see what's happening to Olivia is what would have happened to Cash if Cash hadn't gone home I'm just starting to really like resent her and I think everything

she says is fake and now that all the fan favorites literally 11 people had to leave for Olivia to become the main character and she's just like talking and she's just like so annoying like like she just like is feeling the main character energy but it's like shannon had to go home josh had to go home sinka had to go home cash had to go home literally a million people had to go home

in order for you to like get this position for you to shine she's like not me in a love triangle like shut up like she's talking like cash like like someone dm this to me and i really started to notice it like and i guess it's like it used to happen to me at camp like when i would be with my friends and like there was this one girl who was latin and she would like always say these latin things and i started to like pick up on it and you definitely when you are with people a lot start to talk like them but she's literally cloning catch's persona not me being in a love triangle oh like that's what she said she says ew ew not me catching feelings oh

that's 500 times a day oh my god so she's like literally skinning cash and wearing her like it's crazy and so i'm just starting to really dislike her still won't win like i'm really concerned now about who's gonna win and i cannot it cannot be Kira. There was no way to know that Josh and Shannon would have to leave. And for a million, like of course for personal reasons, like it's so devastating. It's the most sad story of like imagine being away. And like it's just horrible. Horrible. But also for the continuity of the show, it kind of really fucked things up.

Because I think their biggest mistake, there was like this, the episode that I was like, that I played out for you where Florida went home Amy and Wes went home and someone else over oh um Isaiah yeah so randomly they sent four people home when Amy and Wes are still together and she like did a story that she's moving to Denver like they're legit Florida had hard connections with two guys in the villa and Isaiah was like a man about town. I don't understand why they did that. Because ever since then, I just feel like the composition of the group was never the same.

And then they just kept sending people home. And they keep sending people home who are at the dawn of connection. And it's like, okay, we can't say we're connected because we met yesterday. Yeah. But how about the people who have been here for like 30 days who are still single Trina Jeremy Olivia up until yesterday yeah no I agree that's like a kind of fault in the show that it's like it's built and it's designed to keep the OGs and most of the OGs they're like this season they haven't been able to they had their time and they've had a million connections Jeremy had Trina he had um Amy he had Flo yeah he had Bailey

he had everyone like he had um the other girl from Jenny Genevieve oh my god yeah like he had oh my god Genevieve dm'd me like starting a fight like it was twisted I didn't respond because I'm like why am I fighting with this like 22 year old but she like I'm always just recapping Love Island on my story and she put up this like picture with her and Cash I like, I'm always just recapping Love Island on my story. And she put up this like picture with her and Cash. I mean with her and Cinco. And I was just like, it was just like a confusing photo.

And you just posted a question mark. I just posted it with a question mark. Cause I'm like, what does this mean? Like, are they friends? Why are they, where are they together?

Or are they together? Like asking questions. Like she put up a misleading photo and she, I'm going to read it. Like it was so like, she was like attacking me. And I'm like, no,

it was out of control. I didn't even tag her. Like like I don't even know how she found it it was out of control because you didn't say anything you just asked a question oh here she said we got voted off together we're like brother and sister don't try to make it seem like something it's not bestie I want cash to get her mans too I'm like you're the one making it seem like something it's not like you're the one who posted the photo that's misleading first of all second of all like don't call me bestie like I've never met you no I totally agree and also I cannot like why are you starting beef with me like another pet peeve of mine which Love Island had brought to light and I just want to say oh no not even that but I want to say Shannon and Josh when they went on their one-on-one Shannon called him a man and I

just want to thank oh my god I noticed that too I want to thank Shannon for that because I noticed that too it meant so much to me but another pet peeve of mine and just life in general is when people are like we're like brother and sister especially when you met two fucking weeks ago like brother and sister have spent their whole like no so anyone who says we're like brother and sister like a girl when it's like what's going on between you and jared oh he's like my brother, is he your brother or can you fuck him? It's clear as day. So especially since they met two weeks ago, like that my pet peeve radar is off the charts.

Off the charts. Yeah. We're like brothers. We met two weeks ago. Oh my God, I can't. So who went home last night was Casey and Ellie. Like there's, and you can really skip last night's episode. It was like, and it was two hours.

I was shocked. So I think that finale's coming up. I don't know who's going to win. I feel like they're going to have this, they're going to try and make it Olivia and Corey because for some reason people don't like Will and Kira. Oh, Will and Kira had a date last night and everyone was like, are you going to ask her to be your girlfriend? Are you going to ask her to be your girlfriend?

He was like, no. And he didn't. He's like, I'm not into labels. Like I want to see what happens on the outside before I ask her to be my girlfriend. Which is so easy because I'm falling for you. It's just like, like, being someone's girlfriend, it's not that big of a deal. It's not like an engagement. Yeah.

She was like really weird. Kira was literally trying so hard to pretend like she wasn't upset about it. But all the girls were like, before the date, they were like, do you think, do you think, do you think? And she was like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. And then when she left, Olivia was like, I actually just spoke to Will and he said he's

not going to ask her. So they were like, eek. So then when she came back, they were like tiptoeing around it. And she was like, no, it's fine. Like she's obviously upset. But like she's just, she's just like a pick me girl. Like she's like. They're the weirdest couple.

When Shannon and Josh. People don't like them. When Shannon and Josh got back from their one-on-one and they panned to Will and Kira's faces, it was such sour grapes from them. Like they can't win. No. And now that Shannon and Josh are gone, like they think that it's the Will and Kira show. Like they're trying so hard to be extra cute.

Like, they don't know how to be cute. I don't know who can win, because here's the thing. Olivia and Kory, I don't think people like them. I think people see through, like, the charade. Excuse me. And Will and Kira, for some reason, like, they've done nothing wrong. Like, people just don't like them. They're extremely unlikable.

So, honestly, when Ariel said America's couples have voted, and the first person that came out of her mouth was andre and trina this like random couple he just chose her because he was going to choose olivia and olivia chose cory and or cory chose olivia and it was like two girls left and he just chose trina i guess like he thought she was nice like for no other reason but like i just want trina's actually now that if you look at it like from a glance like she's been through the most on this show and she's really held her head up high with dignity and she's a good friend and she was I think she deserves to win like not even with Andre. I agree. We should be able to vote for a solo player. We should be able to vote for Shannon

and Josh. Because up until this point they put the entire show on their back. I agree. I was thinking that too but I don't think they'll do it. I just think they should. I think so too. I think so too. And the show has a visible difference without them yeah now the other things I watched over the weekend was love is blind after the altar reunion okay and it was so atrocious like you really don't need to watch it but it was funny just to like see everyone back in the saddle it's so scripted like update is like Amber and Barnett are still engaged Amber literally I'm sorry they're still married. He sold his house to pay off,

they made it seem like her student debts and now they're living in Amber's apartment with her roommate. But, Lauren Hamilton's husband, Cameron Hamilton,

said on Instagram Q&A, like the editing made it seem like it was for her student loans but it was actually for his. So I was like, okay, because I'm like, what is this man doing?

They keep doing that to her. They did that to her during the show and she spoke out about it. Yeah, they did it again. And it's really wrong. They did it again because Cameron was like okay because I'm like what is this man doing they keep doing that to her they did that to her during the show and she spoke out about it like they did it again really wrong they did it again because Cameron was like it was for his student loans um they just like kind of have this miserable life where like she had a seizure she was diagnosed with epilepsy so she's really concerned about her health and she wants to have babies Barnett has like a checklist of things he wants to be out of this apartment he wants to make enough money he wants to have their

own house before they start having kids so they're having dinner at their in-laws and she pulls um the her mother-in-law barnett's mom's mom aside and they're talking about this timeline how it's like really bothering her like she's ready and like he's not and like it's never going to be perfect like we should just like start having kids and basically the mom was like you know he's the breadwinner and in the bible you know he's in charge and being a woman sucks like that's literally what she said to Amber. And Amber didn't even like flinch. It was the weirdest conversation.

So I do feel like at first I'm like, you know what? This is such a weird couple that ended up being cute. The more I got to know them, they're super toxic. And she is so scary. Like she is, he, Amber's not, Barnett is not allowed to talk to Jessica. I like her so much. No, you won't like her after the special she's really toxic like but can i ask you something don't these people don't

aren't they famous don't they get instagram ads it makes no sense amber has 1.5 million followers and i looked at barnett's instagram he's doing a million ads like that shit pays there's no reason you should be living as a married couple in an apartment with a roommate yeah and that like you have to feel like your husband is the breadwinner. Like, she can work. No, but, like, for the anniversary, he, like, made this video. Like, because Cameron Hamilton made a speech for Lauren. And it was a, the whole premise of the show is that they're throwing a two-year anniversary party for the two couples that got married. So, Cameron made a speech for Lauren. They're literally the best couple on planet Earth.

And it all was good? Perfect. You could cry. Like, his speech, he was crying. It was just stunning. And everyone was like, we want what they have. And then Barnett put together this little video of like how he goes to work every day he kisses Amber because she's still asleep and it was like supposed to be a cute video but I'm like

oh she doesn't work like that's literally what I took away from the video I need to go see if she's there they're just their whole money thing like it just feels really toxic like and Jessica like the show ruined her life like it did and she's like literally I was the most hated person on reality tv she moved to LA she has a boyfriend who's a surgeon he obviously did not come because like she was not going to subject him to this toxic environment why did she come um she must have gotten paid or she must have really wanted to clear the air because like she must not be this crazy person maybe the show got her at a bad time she is still 34 and Mark is still 24 I just wanted to update everyone on that even though two years have passed they're still 34 and Mark is still 24. I just wanted to update everyone on that. Even though two years have passed, they're still 34 and 24.

Is that Ben? Oh my God, that's Ben. What are you doing here? Come in. You can come in and sit. We have to finish podcasting. What a stalker. Oh my God, showing up to the studio.

Hi, we're in the middle of podcasting. So what was I saying before I was interrupted by my husband? Oh, it's 12 o'clock. That's why this is the longest podcast episode. You were saying he's 24, she's 34. Oh, yeah. So she probably came back on to clear her name. And she brought Tiffany gifts for both of the couples.

And she was, like, avoiding Amber and Barnett the whole time because she was, like, afraid. And then she goes up to Barnett to give it to him. She's like, I just want to say, like, sorry for everything. Like, I'm really happy for you guys. He, like, literally could not speak. He was like, I'm sorry. Like, I'm not allowed to talk to you. Like, and ran away. So Amber is definitely, like like very controlling. Do you remember that girl, Elsie?

Yeah. She like had an initial connection with Barnett, but he said he didn't want to choose her just like he didn't want to choose Jessica. Turns out she dated Mark. I think I knew that. And like literally for six weeks. And then he got a girl pregnant and he was dating like 11 other girls at the time. So Amber's best friends with Mark. And Amber's just like taking up for Mark, being mean to Elsie. And it's just like showing like everyone who had a connection with Barnett, Amber is going to find a reason to hate. Now, yes, what Jessica did was inappropriate.

But like they were on a TV show. It was two years ago. Like, can we move past it? She apologized at the reunion. Amber got her say. Amber had her moment. Like, you're so disingenuous. Remember?

Like, she had her moment. She won't let it go. And it's just like I actually, she started crying. Like, after Barnett like walked away from her and like Amber had her moment, like, you're so disingenuous, remember? Like, she had her moment, she won't let it go, and it's just, like, I actually, she started crying, like, after Barnett, like, walked away from her, and, like, really embarrassed her. She started crying there with her Tiffany bag of gifts, and, like, didn't have, I just, I did feel bad for her. Then the whole drama with Giannina, she said, what's going on? Damien's her person, like, Giannina's so cringy, like, when she talks, like, she's crying, like, in lunch, like, he's in lunch and her mom refers to him as her son i'm like oh my god they're so going strong they've been together for two years they got through him leaving her at the altar so apparently when he was in la he went to dinner with like a bunch of

influencers left a restaurant holding hands with francesca farrago they said they're just friends like why are we holding hands like we saw those pictures yes we reported on them because we thought it was weird then she's in atlanta for a photo shoot the same weekend of this party and he invited her because he was telling us and like that he wanted to invite her because she's a friend like why wouldn't his friend come and you know he wanted to clear the air between her and giannina he kind of made it seem like to francesca like they had a future and he didn't tell her what to wear to the party because she showed up in a crop top. Why would Francesca want a future with him?

He's so beta. Like I couldn't figure out. I'm like, he's handsome, whatever. What's wrong with him? He drives a porch. He's the definition of a beta fucking loser. Like I could not stand him. No, like Francesca's like on top of the world.

No, no. She was obviously paid to do the show. Like it was so scripted. I don't think she's like sitting home waiting for Damien to call. No. Literally, it was so stupid. And then like Giannina was totally blindsided she's like why is this girl who like caused a huge problem in our relationship being invited and he was like walking around the party with her like didn't even like if Giannina ever gets back with him

she has literally no self-respect it was so disrespectful but it was also staged like I don't know what to believe like right it was good that's what I'm saying it was like not a real reunion it was like a waste of your time but it was funny to like to see everyone back together especially like the people like that girl um honestly I can't remember any of their names like the besides oh but Diamond she was the star of the entire show she was just giving the best commentary she's friends with a lot of the people um Carlton did not show up the guy who left her after she just expressed a little frustration that he didn't tell her he was bi after getting engaged her so like it was just misleading she wasn't mad that he was bi she was

mad that he lied and he was gonna go to the reunion and had a conversation with Lauren Hamilton and blew up at her and then just decided not to participate in the special anymore it was really weird and I felt bad for Lauren because Lauren was like there as a friend Lauren could understand what he was going through he's talking about like a lot of biphobia in their community and then he just like attacked Lauren and Lauren was like don't degrade me like because you're upset like and then he just disappeared so he never got to say his piece and honestly he may have made himself look worse than before right and maybe if he came he'd make himself look even worse yeah he's yeah he should have never just agreed to participate because I had forgotten about him, you know?

Right. Right. And so that's all. I also watched OBX, but I want you to watch it so we can talk about it in depth. Is it pertinent that I watch it? It's really good. Oh, wow. That's exciting.

Except the last episode is the longest episode and it just like is so stupid. Like I can't. That's exciting. It's really good though. Like I think you'll enjoy it. So I just watched so much TV this weekend and I really enjoyed it. Now I feel like I'm really fully caught up on everything. I'm so happy for you.
