Good morning millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Monday. Hope everyone had a splendid weekend. Jackie, was your weekend splendid? It was splendid. It was very busy being a TV junkie. What does resplendent mean? Something else. I watched so much TV this weekend so I feel like you and I- You finished OBX? I finished OBX. I have so much to talk about. I mean we have so much to talk about because because like last night was the night of television. Oh my God. And I didn't even get to everything because I've also forgot that the season finale

of Shots of Sunset was last night. I couldn't get to it. I was dead. No, we had four hours plus because White Lotus was more than an hour of content to watch. And it was just overwhelming. Plus I watched season two of OBX this weekend.

So many thoughts. Mostly I just want to read all the texts that I sent you throughout my journey of watching it. Totally. All of the plot holes that just, I can't, I can't not see. The moronic nature of so many characters was really infuriating. Really infuriating. But other than that, my weekend was good.

It was Bruce's birthday yesterday and we had a little celebration for him. Some of the nibs came over. Claudia came over and it was just, he was feeling really special and feeling really special and loved good and i'm just so proud of him i realized this morning that i said i was going to bring him today but thank god i didn't because it is sweltering in here we're always complaining that it's too cold the ac broke i'm literally like this is my worst nightmare realized it's so hot and there's no air circulation i feel like you know how they say you can't leave like a person in a hot car i feel like we're currently in a hot car it's so hot and there's no air circulation I feel like you know how they say you can't leave like a person in a hot car I feel like we're currently in a hot car it's so hot in here I actually did feel something coming out of the bed I was just gonna say that it's just like not super cold so I

of course you know lodged a complaint like an official maintenance request and I do kind of feel like there's air anyone else maybe I'm literally having a mirage no I think there's something coming out of there but it's just not doing what it usually does we could always open a window if need be like you're not in a car but no I'm in a car is my face really red I feel like I'm actually gonna faint not to be dramatic water yeah right here okay yeah I have a bottle of water to help us get through the show. I'm wearing like a gray long sleeve. I'm going to have pit stains by the end. I'm fucked.

I'm actually really excited to be back here on the shows more level-headed than I was on Friday because, you know, I got some negative feedback from my episode on Friday. Like, because I think that like I was too hungover. Like I was not functioning, you know? Okay. And like you really were just like babysitting me and I really apologize for that. Did you get negative feedback like one-to-one like in your DMs or like in comments? Like a lot everywhere, you know? Like because I just wasn't even speaking English. I wasn't functioning as a human being. So I understand the frustration I do and like

hangovers are funny until they really impact. Like I wasn't even speaking. Like I don't even know what I was saying honestly. So I just I'm really impact. Like I wasn't even speaking. Like I don't even know what I was saying, honestly. So I just, I'm really excited to be back here, like fully alive. I'm excited to have you back fully alive. I do miss those skeleton pants though. I just had kept looking at pictures of them on my phone over the weekend and laughing. I tried to get you a pair as like a present. Can't find them.

They're literally a collector's item. Or maybe they're not going to be back until the Halloween season. I don't really want to hear about the gifts that I didn't get. And I just ordered you a new gift. Oh my God, so did I. For you or for me? For you. Oh my God, I wonder what it is.

It's really good. I think yours is really good, but it's custom. So is mine. Don't tell me. Do you think we ordered the same thing? No, stop. Okay. Stop.

That would be crazy. That would be crazy. But don't say. Tell me what website you ordered it from. I't know oh okay like funkadelics.com okay okay no like it was I I can't tell you because I will give it away no I don't want to know okay what website did you order it from I'm gonna tell you that would be so crazy we're just out gifting each other I read the craziest thing last week speaking of halloween that i need to share with the class which is that you know it's almost halloween spirit halloween will be popping up all over the city once again including in former barney's you're kidding isn't that insane okay so for those who don't know in the city there's not really any year-round

costume stores because it's well yeah like ricky's their costume stores ricky's there haven't been a ricky's in the city in like 10 years there might be one last one on the upper east side there are no rickies is the go-to jackie rickies is the spot there haven't been there's also a costume store in um okay there's like two in astor place yeah eighth street yeah okay but there's not like a million whatever so what they do is like there's this company called Spirit Halloween and they do pop-ups for like two months. Three months because I saw my local Spirit Halloween is opening. Getting started.

It's getting started. It's revving up. So they do pop-ups and they just use like all these pop-up locations. So you're telling me that the former department store to the stars, home of Fred Siegel, is doing a pop-up? The Barney's storefront will be used as a spare at Halloween if you wanted to understand the state of New York City. That's so sad.

It was so sad when I saw it. But, you know, girls got to eat. Yeah. Damn, that's depressing. Yeah, I thought you would think so. Well, what are you going to be for Halloween? Oh, we actually? We actually just settled on our Halloween costume for the toast.

It's pretty fucking spectacular. It's pretty genius. And I just, because I'm so annoying, have to say, like, I did come up with it. It was Claudia's idea. So if you don't like it, you know who to talk to. And if you do like it, you know who to talk to. You know what's so crazy is, like, every year we're like, oh, my God, we're never going to be able to top what we did last year.

And every year, like, we really kind of hit it out of the park we're due for like a flop you know. Yeah I don't think this is it also like it's not even about what we're dressed up as it's what we bring to the table. And how like our spin on the characters. Right so. Like your kind of teenage angsty spin on Prince Harry was you know acting genius yeah I think it was like a bit of a revelation for some people and also now knowing like what we know about Harry it was pretty on the money pretty brother gran gran um so get excited for our toast Halloween 2021 our fourth Halloween right fifth fifth if you include the breath you have to include the breath it was the best episode of all time. Yeah.

And since that footage no longer exists, one of these days we should redo it. No, it was like, it didn't end well. Oh yeah. I mean, like we were both offending each other, but the content was supreme. I will never. You'll never?

I'll never. Okay. I will never step back into your shoes. Okay. Okay. We have a great show. Literally just have so much TV to talk about. Not much happened in the pop culture world over the weekend, but that's fine because we have a great show literally just have so much tv to talk about not much happened in the pop culture world over the weekend but that's fine because we have obx we have love

island you guys it's not love island it's love island with a grimace on my face i don't even have the words for how i'm feeling about what transpired last night i feel defrauded yeah I feel like taken advantage of I I feel angry yeah I don't know I just I have so much anger bottled up in me over what happened on the show we'll get to it but I I don't even know like I just feel I don't even have the words do you know what I mean so you're speechless no yeah it's like usually I'm so angry and so I'm just going to like let him know my thoughts. I will let you know my thoughts

but like this sort of anger just has me silent. And this is your official spoiler alert for the entire episode where we're recapping Outer Banks, Real Housewives of Potomac,

the White Lotus season finale that aired last night and the Love Island season finale that aired last night. If you haven't watched any of those things do not come crying to me that we spoiled it. Okay. Literally on the aired last night. If you haven't watched any of those things, do not come crying to me that we spoiled it.

Okay. Literally on the Instagram last night, I was very particular not to spoil anything, but I wanted to announce, you know, I wanted to get people's thoughts on White Lotus. And you needed to get the pictures in order for today's feed. And so for Love Island, I posted the Love Island, I posted a carousel.

The first picture was just like the poster for the show. And then I said, swipe to see the winner. And the amount of people who were like, you spoiled it. You swiped. You spoiled it. I will say Instagram has a glitch where sometimes like when you're scrolling through your feed, it brings you to the second photo. I've never seen that in my life.

Like if you were on someone else's carousel and you left it on like the second photo, you didn't scroll back to number one. Like sometimes when you scroll through the rest of your feed, if there's another carousel, it starts on number two it's a really bad glitch so I understand how that happened for people but you know what like it's not like it was a big um suspenseful evening and we saved you two hours I just want to say I've never heard or seen that glitch oh okay I I have that glitch sometimes but we saved you two hours so actually you're welcome I'm having this new glitch where like if I want to upload something store something to my story

for my camera roll like one in every five will not post it just goes automatically red oh interesting and then like you have to delete it re-upload it will not go like the file is corrupt and instagram will not recognize it yeah that happens to me too sometimes so annoying so annoying but usually when there's a glitch i guess you have to vocalize it someone's got to say something and then they fix it really quickly yeah i don't think anyone's ever mentioned that carousel glitch though until now watch it's gonna go away also like remember when we were standing by the elevator here in our studio um like a couple weeks ago and you were just like being funny and I was filming you and you were like send me that tag me that was a corrupt file I never got to upload it I don't even remember

like what it was but that's disgusting it was disgusting yeah it was I was being so funny yeah yeah do you know what I'm talking about yeah I forgot what i was doing but me too hysterical but i was like in the uber trying to upload it's like red red red it's like fuck off oh that's so annoying so annoying all right wait i just wanted to ask you of everything that we watched last night what was your favorite most enjoyable thing honestly the real housewives of potomac it was really it was really good for me it was white lotus okay i mean i really let's just breeze through the stories i have so much to say and i don't want to spoil it and the stories are breathable we need to get like a stop clock because we should give three minutes to each story that's how nothing they are yeah but you know sometimes the nothingness comes to an amazing tangent i know and like when we wanted

to it always can but i want to get to the motherfucking tv recap me too because like today's episode's literally just going to be called the tv recap show yeah so without further ado to do to do miss you it is time for the moment of silence moment of silence for dues absence and bruise absence i lied again it is time for the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast and today's episode is brought to you by skylight frame staying in touch with those we love is more important than ever and the easiest way to do it is with a Skylight Frame, a photo frame you can email photos to anytime from anywhere. It's a great gift for someone with a birthday coming up, someone who just had a baby, or even for yourself. Basically, anyone can send photos to the frame in

just seconds, so it's a great way to keep in touch with friends and family, keep them up to date on how you're looking, how the kids are growing. It's really thoughtful, and it's very effortless to use. The setup can take less than 60 seconds, and even least tech savvy person can use it. It looks like a real photo frame and it adds a beautiful touch to your home. It has a gorgeous 10 inch touchscreen where you can swipe through photos with your finger and even tap to thank the person who sent a photo. The skylight frame has 100% satisfaction guaranteed. If you don't love it, they will offer you a full refund. You can tap the heart button and let the sender know you loved your photo. So it's just great for someone, especially it's really not that hard technologically to set up. So like for a mom or a grandma, grandpa,

it's really, really thoughtful. And even a non-tech savvy person can set it up and use it. So when you go to skylightframe.com, use the code toast. If you want to get $10 off of your purchase of a Skylight Frame. So that's skylightframe.com, code TOAST, S-K-Y-L-I-G-H-T-F-R-A-M-E.com, code TOAST. This is a great solution because we were just talking about how like if you walked into my house, you would literally never know who lived there because like for so long I didn't have like any pictures of my friends or family. And now instead of buying like 30 frames, I just have one. Yeah. A little slideshow. It's such a great gift too. So think about that if you want to get me something, Claude. Oh, okay.

For the gift that didn't arrive. Okay, first story, which I found to be like the most interesting story of the day in the celebrity world. Travis Barker flies for the first time since his deadly plane crash. Travis Barker has gotten on a plane for the first time since his deadly 2008 plane crash. According to photos obtained by TMZ, the Blink-182 rocker and his girlfriend, Kourtney Kardashian, flew to Cabo on Saturday. Photos show the hot and heavy couple leaving LA in Kylie Jenner's private jet, also known as Kylie Air, and also deplaning once they landed safely in Mexico.

The outlet reports that Mama Jerk, Kris, and Corey Gamble were also on board. So this is really, really big. A lot of Travis fans know that due to the accident he got into in 2008, he has not flown since. Him and Kourtney are always on the bus. Tour bus. And like when he goes to Europe, he does the QE2. Like he will go out of his way not to travel on a plane because in 2008, he was in the plane crash that killed. DJ AM. No. Two other people, him and DJ AM survived.

And a year later, DJ AM died of an overdose. Right, right. But he was in the hospital for like years doing skin grafts. His skin was super burned. It was like an incredibly traumatizing moment for him. And of course, he's never been on a plane again. Right. But you got to go to Cabo.

So I guess Courtney gave him the strength to try again and you know I just feel like there's so many things about this story that are so great like anyone overcoming their fears is a beautiful thing it really is um but just the little details are so heartwarming one that they flew Kylie air because you know that's like the most premium fucking plane right and like you know Kylie definitely made it so special for them. Yeah. Do you think they had to pay for it? I'm just curious.

I think they had to pay for like the gas and the hangar fees. Like she's not just like giving away free rides, but not as much as they would pay to charter from like charter.com. Right. Their own charter. Yeah. And first of all, I love that Kory and Kris were there. I just feel like they're the exact type of person, people I would want to overcome a

fear with. Like so supportive. Yeah. And two, this article is from TMZ. So I feel like it's straight from Kris Jenner's mouth um and they had a lot of really interesting details like Travis was two hours late for the flight unclear whether that's delays or he was just like having second guesses yeah second thoughts or you know maybe he's a late person yeah so it was just like also it's just like crazy to see Travis and like his vibe next to the Kylie Air pleaney pink plane totally it's just really like beautiful and knowing that it's like this major moment and them as a couple like

are overcoming so much together it just brings a tear to the eye I know I'm curious how he can really enjoy his trip because he has to fly back home as well unless he's taking the tour bus but i don't know like i just feel like he wouldn't really be able to enjoy himself because he has like this big hurdle coming up at the end of the trip right where he has to get back on the plane but maybe he has a plan in place for if he did say like the way there he didn't feel good about it he definitely has like a plan uber yeah yeah an uber rental hertz car to drive can you drive from cabo i believe that you can because it's like you drive up the strip and then you just keep driving to california going from california to mexico no from la to cabo is like going from new york to florida

so i guess you could drive it would take like a day yeah but you could do it so i wonder why he didn't just take the tour bus. Um. I don't know. Maybe it was time. Maybe it was time. Yeah. So I just think that that's such a beautiful story. I hope they're having an amazing trip.

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall inside of that plane. Like what was going on? No, I would have. Were they doing like breathing exercises? Was he freaking out the whole time? Was he able to relax? Did they have a drink? Like what went on?

I don't know. I'm sure there were good snacks. You know, Kylie always provides. Only the best for Kylie air yeah that plane is so sick so sick also news Kourtney cut her hair yeah not my favorite I love when the girls have short hair I really like I just love short hair and I'm just like waiting for the day where I go back to mine but I love when Kim has it I love when Kylie has it I love when Chloe has it I don't and now Courtney has it and so I'm digging it I'm such a staunch long hair girl I know that it really just goes against everything I believe in but I feel like whatever they're you always say for me you

always tell me to go back to my Bob I just want to say I haven't said that in a while and I have changed my thoughts on it what change when I like look back at pictures I'm like it was so cute back then but like you just look better now makes you think are you sweating because like i'm moments from fainting no i haven't broken the perspire yet you're kidding i'm staying dry but i'm every fiber of my being yo like lid the back of my hair do you see it's glistening oh my god no you don't look like you're sweating. Okay. Like this is where we have literally been left to podcast in a hot car. Yeah.

So we're going to just have to move faster. I don't want to rush. Cause you know, I really had such a pain about Friday's episode, like not leaving it all out on the table. We're not rushing till we like just for TV recap. Okay. What? We both need a second to pause to drink some water because we're overheating.

You know when people get hot and they have white crusties on their lip? Go away. Okay. Go away with your crusties. Sorry. Okay, next up, cute reunion news. Jason Momoa and Emilia Clarke get together for a Game of Thrones reunion. They posted an adorable series of photos

while celebrating Game of Thrones creator David Benioff's birthday a month early. It's so nice they were celebrating his birthday. It is nice that they were celebrating. It's really, really nice. This picture of the two of them is really cute. I know. She looks so teeny tiny.

She looks so teeny tiny. I love their love for each other. Obviously, if you watch Game of Thrones, here we have Khaleesi and Khal Drogo. were OTP until you know they weren't they weren't and it does look like she's wearing my flats I just wanted everyone to know that oh my god she's wearing your white used flats she looks like no she looks like she has them in a lighter like a pale pink pale pink um so I believe that they're Nicholas Kirkwood like the heel looks the same and I just feel extremely vindicated because even if they're not exactly the same shoe.

The style. It's the same style. And she chose it. And it's good enough for Khal Drogo. Wow. That's actually a really interesting thing you pointed out. I didn't notice that. I noticed it, but I didn't want to like comment on the picture and like draw attention to my flats, you know.

Why? Because everyone's just like. No. Everyone has like knocked me down so then stop wearing them i can't they should go with everything they go with everything let me ask you another question i thought you got a new pair it's not that the flats are ugly they're just a little worn out okay i didn't get a new pair of white versions but i got them in um like a nudie pink i had so sometimes when white doesn't match I can wear that color and

why won't you just get a new pair of white um they're expensive honestly they're like a really fancy shoe they're still sold at Bergdorf's I bought them like three years ago and they're still in style so tell it to Linda who's Linda oh curator at Bergdorf's um okay I just think there's nothing wrong with the shoes. Just that they're, like, take them to a shoemaker. They're just, like, black at the top and, like, dirty. Okay, but that's not what people are complaining about. I just want you to know.

They don't like the style. They don't like the vibe. And they just, I don't know, want to see me wearing dino stompers or something. It's not going to happen. I don't know how you deal with the backlash. It's really hurtful when something's so important to you. Back to Khal Drogo and Khalisi, every time these two are together,

like, I literally just want to, like, die of happiness. It's just so joyous. Yeah. And it kind of, like, even though I know he and his mama are in love, I do ship, like, an IRL.

No, I agree, even though I know there's, like, no hope for any of this, but, like, they really do give us everything that we could ask for. Like, even these captions, like, when your sun and stars rolls into town, you check that he can still bench press a Khaleesi and then he said moon of my life

you are wonderful love you forever no they literally talk on Instagram like cosplaying as Khal Drogo and Khaleesi and they give the fans what they want they give the fans everything yeah and I I say this all the time but like when people who reject the thing that made them famous yes it bothers me so much like they just try and act thing that made them famous yes it bothers me so much like they just try and act like that thing didn't exist and they just want to and I understand probably wanting to move on with your life but it's so annoying and I just love that Khal Drogo and Khalisi are giving us everything and literally anytime I see two people from Game of Thrones like no matter who they are in the same room it's like the best day of my life yeah also when you see two

of them in the same show in the same room like when i was watching medici and we had rob stark in the same room as walter fray and he was marrying his daughter shook that's crazy really yeah really crazy and also seeing game of thrones characters like acting and other things or even just like out in the real world none of them look like themselves like the way that they were like in hair and makeup and the outfits in game of thrones is so bizarre looking because you see them on a red carpet gwendolyn christie like two different people yeah it's really shocking even calise she's probably like the biggest when now we're used to her being like calise versus amelia clark but like the wig and like the everything yeah it's just it was crazy it was a crazy time honestly

the person who probably looks the exact same is Sansa. Yeah, but also. Sophie Turner looks just like Sansa. Yeah, but she has blonde hair now. Sansa's red hair. Yeah, but like for a while, like even outside of the show, she still had red hair. Yeah. No, I would say Jason Momoa is the one who looks like his character the most.

Of course. Yeah. Anyway, so it's just like really cute news for all you Throners out there. That is cute. Are you ready for our next story? Sure. Lea Michele is showing support for Beanie Feldstein's funny girl casting.

She said, you are the greatest star. I mean, she had to say something. Yep. Lea Michele is joining other celebrities and showing her support for Beanie Feldstein following the news that she is cast as Fanny Bryce in the Funny Girl revival on Broadway. Feldstein shared the announcement on her Instagram page

last week, captioning her post, I went to my third birthday party dressed as Fanny Bryce, so sometimes dreams actually come true. That's cute. In the comments section, various stars celebrated the good news, including Lea Michele, who said, Yes, you are the greatest star. This is going to be epic.

I mean, Homegirl had to say something just because literally the name on everyone's lips was Lea Michele. And she had to be the bigger person and she had to just be magnanimous um but she's dying inside like i don't i don't know that for a fact but i know it for a fact yeah what no i just like i just sometimes feel like when there's just such like an obvious narrative out there that it's not true that's possible you know what I mean yeah so like I don't know how this all went down I I just feel like it's not as like exactly how we think it is I know but like how can Lea Michele not be upset I don't know yeah that's like if they put together an influencer ready if they put together an influencer. Ready? If they put together an influencer play and they were doing hairspray

and they gave Tracy Turnblad to someone else. That's the role I was well not really. I don't feel connected to that. You know what I mean. Something so obvious. Yeah. I would be devastated. Yeah. And she's known to be like a diva. Yeah. You're right.

Whoa. Woke up today feeling the way I always do. Whoa oh oh, hungry for something that I can eat. Then I hear that beat. The rhythm of town starts calling me down. It's like a message from high above. Oh, oh, oh, holding me out to the sounds and the streets that I love. Good morning, Baltimore. Every day's like an open door Every night is a fantasy Every sound's like a symphony I love you, boy I've never been to Baltimore

You were doing so good. I don't think I've ever been to Baltimore. Maybe you should be Tracy. And someday when I take to the floor The world's gonna wake up and see Baltimore and me. We need a saxophone. No, you're so Penny Pingleton. I'm so Penny Pingleton.

If they put together like an influencer cast to do hairspray, because I feel like that's fun to cast. Okay. Link Larkin. Link Larkin. Link Larkin. I need to think of, like, influencers. I mean, is it influencers who are actors or just, like, straight up, like, YouTubers, podcasters? Straight up are YouTubers, podcasters.

So Link Larkin, like, Nick Vile. Totally. No. No. I was honestly going to say, like, Greg Sulkin, but then he's, like, an actor. Oh, no. But, like, he's also an influencer. So he could be it.

Yeah, right. He could be it. Is that good? But he's like an actor oh oh no but like he's also an influencer so he yeah right he could be is that good but he's also an actor but sure okay greg sulkin me and you as tracy and penny obviously um amber oh amber like someone blunt like blonde and just like perfect looking yeah lauren elizabeth yeah it's a tnn it's a tnn rendition of hairspray this would be fun they should do like influencer productions that would like i don't think anything would garner like more negative feedback negative feedback than that 100 but not if we knock it out of the park you could do it i mean i could do it i'm not worried i can do anything i set my mind to i can't believe that i believe that too it's just a matter of setting my mind to it. Right.

And like deciding, do I want to set my mind to this or not? Is this worth setting my mind to? Such a good call. Are you ready for our next story? Only if it's a story that's brought to you by Away.

Eva Marcel. Eva Marcel. Okay. Honestly, it sounds like it it's not really a B team, but it's like the best of the best of former housewives. Right, but emphasis on the former. Yeah, so it's still not as prestigious. I mean, that one with like Kenya, Cynthia, Kyle. Who else went? Lou.

Who from New York went, Luann? Ramona. Ramona. That one is going to be so fucking sick you know what it will be but I wouldn't be surprised if this speed team is better because they have nothing to lose and so much to prove so much to gain yeah they do a really good job it's like they become the fan favorite from this series like they could get back on their own show I mean honestly I've been saying this for a while I do feel like a pretty decent improvement to the flailing Real Housewives of New York franchise

would be to bring Jill Zahram back. But she has said, and I don't know if it's true, but she said she wouldn't do it. She said she wouldn't? Yeah, on Watched Rebels Live. That's when they were doing all that special stuff. Why wouldn't she? She just said she wouldn't. But she would do this.

She said she wants to be cast as a friend of. But she would do this. Yeah, I mean, that's like a one-time thing, I guess.'t know I don't know it seems like a heavier lift I have to imagine she would love to do it yeah and by the way I re-watched Real Housewives of New York during COVID and I think the narrative around Jill Zarin is so unfair like she put she put the show on the map she was everything at the time like so funny she didn't drink so she was really just like making the show work naturally like she wasn't just getting wasted and saying crazy things her marriage was so great she really laid it all out with Allie like I'm sure Allie's traumatized from all that stuff but like she really she was it she was yeah and I think she was an amazing

reality star and she got fucked because she made some bad decisions when it came to the whole bethany thing and the world took bethany's side but it's been so long i do think like the show could actually really benefit from her she was great yeah i don't disagree with that it could benefit from really anything yeah that they tried anything would help anything would help um so i'm excited for whatever this is whenever it comes out obviously you will see the other one first. Yeah. Just really an interesting programming choice. Yeah. When is that other one coming out?

They filmed it a while ago. Yeah. I don't know. Probably in the winter. And you think it's like six episodes? Like how many? Yeah. I don't think it's long.

I think it's super short. Me too. I wonder what goes down. No, I know. It's going to be great. Yeah. It will be. Now our fifth and final story, which is going to lead into our tv

recap it is the love island finale we have our winners spoiler alert from here on out the winners of love island season three are olivia and cory you know what when they were down to the final two and it was will and kira and olivia and cory i was begging begging for it to be will and kira because you want to know why there's definitely some toxic things going on in that relationship but a lot of relationships are toxic and that is still a real relationship um i did think it was odd how like in this episode they were just like talking about this whole experience and how they never would have met each other and it's like can you believe we live 15 minutes away from each other we never would have known it's like you do? Yeah you didn't

know that. No. Yeah that's part of the theory as to why they had met before and I guess if producers think that they met before then they like really couldn't have won but like at least Will and Kira there is love there even if it's not on both sides and it's not exactly as balanced as it should be and who knows what's gonna happen after this like she has fallen in love in Love Island Olivia has amateurly acted her way through the whole season I can't I I saw a post-it dose after dark that like some people have fallen for the charade and they really think Olivia I believe that some people have fallen for it I can't I can't believe it i really i really cannot the whole episode was olivian corey propaganda yes and trying to like show us this love story and

justice for corey because he's not acting i think he's like so happy with olivia and this because if he were acting he would have taken all the money for himself of course as by the way i wish he did first of all he should have ran with the money first of. Of course. As, by the way, I wish he did. First of all, he should have ran with the money, first of all. But he can't see what we see. Second of all, once Olivia opened her envelope and she had the zero dollars, I knew it was over because, of course, he was going to share it with her because he really is in love with her. Whereas, like, honestly, if Olivia had gotten the $100,000,

she might have taken it for herself. I know you think that. I think she still would have split it because I think she really cares what people think about her. And she doesn't want to prove everyone right that she was acting this whole time she wants to go out like you know like the person she's pretending to be the whole time she's not gonna let the match it's worth fifty thousand dollars to her for people to think that like her and Corey are in love and that she's a good person and I'm sure that she is a good person I think she just like saw she got

caught up in this thing and just like wanted to see it through and stay on the show and get the Instagram followers and she just got like so lucky that everyone else was a real couple dropped away and we're sort of like left with these two so it all started the propaganda I mean it's been going on for weeks but it all started at the challenge last night which I know you fast-forwarded through I did because there was so much tv on and I find the challenges so boring but Mike's theory was confirmed when they had to do all this stuff to get you know whoever had the shortest time in the wedding challenge would get the honeymoon suite. And there's three cakes that they each have to go through with their mouths

to find two flamingos in three cakes to put them as wedding toppers. And Bailey and Jeremy went. And Bailey is literally headbutting her head against this cake to crack it open to get a flamingo out. Like she wants to hide away real bad. She wants to hide away away so badly and I just love Bailey and Jeremy so much like I'm sorry Jeremy went from being my absolute least favorite not understanding why nobody would save him to literally being so upset that he came in third and really feeling like a lot of the results had to have been rigged oh by the way the thing is rigged I I need to see evidence that it's not

because it is like the way that it went that's just not what happened I really think so many people voted for Bailey and Jeremy just because they were the least worst couple and they towards the last couple episodes they had the most growth and like they're editing I don't know if it was the editing but I was like getting really like in my feels I'm like they're so great but then Jeremy was finally giving us what we've been asking yes because like he finally felt comfortable and like now I don't fault him this whole time for being sort of friendly with girls when they're day two of being a couple no totally and the second I

turned on last night's episode I knew that Olivia and Corey were winning every time they just got like a different kind of edit a different music that whole thing back to the challenge so Bailey is literally headbutting this cake she wants it so bad olivia and cory get to the stage of having to go through the cake and olivia's standing there while cory does it she will and she literally takes one bite out of the side of the cake like she how do they win i don't know like they didn't show us anyone's time rigged rigged like they didn't show us anyone's time and it's just like at the end olivia and cory won because like the network needed to give them this honeymoon suite date and then the next morning when they're like standing out on the balcony like looking out like a bachelor couple like propaganda also when they

were between the sheets in the high-rise suite i call claudia you don't understand i'm literally like pointing out every single thing so it's nighttime scene we have the three couples in the villa who are all pulling up the covers and getting frisky oh yeah first of all there was like nobody in the main room so there's only three beds they were all pretty far apart like everyone fucked everyone was getting frisky as fuck and like we saw some of it and then the covers went up you know like bailey and jeremy wow yeah we cut to olivia and cory who immediately pull the covers up we don't see shit between them and then I I believe that they were under the covers like this just trying to make it seem trying to make it look like something and by

the way in the morning when everyone asked Olivia she didn't say like Shannon told the girls that she had sex in the hideaway like they're all best friends no in the morning when she had to say how the villa went like I'm sorry her her mask was slipping yeah we had fun the thing is is that like the episode really made me really like all the couples except olivia and cory like even will and kira like i could get past it like they're toxic whatever but i don't know they're they are a couple and charlie and alana i was like oh my god like obsessed like just the episode was just edited to make you root for everyone except for olivia and cory and i when they said j said Jeremy and Bailey in third place like I knew it was over I'm like are you fucking serious oh my god I was so I screamed I was so heartbroken

and shocked and I just had to sit there and like watch take it take it and watch it go down there's nothing we could do it was so so upsetting like everything is just a lie a lie and so I just feel like first of all it's so crazy we were left with four couples and 50% of them got that got here one week ago like that's the craziest part like I think Will and Kira no matter how much we feel about them they were always going to be in the top four they were a legit couple and it is Love Island it's not Friendship Island so like even though Trina and Andre went home and I was mad like they had no they had no it's Love Island and I love Trina yeah right totally um it was just so frustrating that we ended like all the other cast mates like

Caché and Trina and Giovanni and Shannon and Cinco they were all on live I'm like I would rather watch this live than this episode like I just love so many of the people who are no longer there and just like seeing Cash and Cinco, even though I do blame Cash for her and Cinco not being in the final four, because she chose Charlie, even though she knew her feelings for Cinco. Just like the fact that Cash and Cinco are together at home

and not in the villa is so stupid. Obviously Shannon and Josh couldn't be there, but like we needed them. Like it just felt like such a stitched together finale. It was so, so bad. Like, what a waste of the whole, like, all of our time and everything invested. Because I just feel defrauded. I do.

I want to see. I just wish. I don't know. I don't know how they could even prove to us that it was true. I know. And not that they care. Did you also feel like the whole money splitting thing was so informal like nobody would ever actually take it because because Ariel was like oh what are you gonna like it wasn't even like a official ceremony he was like obviously

like it was just a conversation yeah that's always how it is it would just be like has anyone ever taken the money not on US okay but I don't know about UK but it would be like if someone came in here like say Will won and he's the kind of person where it's like, is he being genuine this whole time? And say he was actually not a genuine person. I'm not saying that he is. But like that's where it would be like. The answer. He could keep the money.

And it would just go to show that like every feeling that you had about him. Was right. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he really thought he was winning. Like the smile on his face when Ariel was like going 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. He thought he was winning so hard. And first of all, I've been like reading Reddit, but I guess I've been missing out because

Love Island Twitter is so funny. You told me to go read it. I was cackling. First of all, everyone is like, feels like we've been frauded by Olivia and Corey. Like they're not buying them. And that makes sense why they took all those tweets because people on Twitter are so invested and they don't believe olivia and cory like or olivia olivia yeah i really stand by that cory is a nice guy and i do feel like he loves olivia no and also when they were in their confessional after the challenge and he put the cupcake in her eye like you could see for a second

she was like i'm just saying watch it all back you guys watch it all like you could see for a second that she was like so angry but then she had to like mask up right and be like like and then she did her like scream thing that cachet that she stole from cachet yeah yeah and claudia i'm just telling you i see through it all that's so funny you can't fool me um do they have a reunion no because this was two days ago what's doing you night about with everyone else like they don't they should they could because amy and wes are fucking pissed but like a lot of reunions it's like okay what has happened since then in the last six months this was two days ago i don't know i just feel like a reunion wouldn't be the least interesting thing no but like also like everyone's like just a little disgruntled like and also

there's i just felt like they were ready to go the fuck home everyone was like i don't even care if i win i need to get out of here there's not that much like sabotage on the show so it's not like things were aside from like will like kira finally watching the footage it's not like people are seeing things that like now they need to hash it out everyone really is like nice to each other and who they are to their faces who they are behind their backs um can we also just really briefly talk about the dresses because they were so fucking heinous except for bailey's was like not terrible somebody said that in the pictures from from last night that olivia looked like cory's mom like that dress was terrible alana that dress was

atrocious and kira's was probably the worst like so like prom dress from the set from the 90s like this is the CBS budget it was atrocious and even all Jeremy looks like a waiter like everyone's oh um Will's like took it was just terrible like everyone they looked like clowns out there dancing giving their fake wedding vows like it was clown shit okay the outfits were atrocious and I just feel like whoever dressed Alana like really did her dirty yeah it was such a such an ugly dress you saw her pick it out herself yeah sure I just want to say another moment where the mask was slipping for Olivia um when she like right before they announced the winners and they all had to like say some shit again Olivia was talking talking about, like, her journey.

And she literally couldn't even muster up, like, one thing. She said something nice about Corey, like, this amazing man. But, like, nothing about her feelings for him. It was like, this journey has been so amazing. I met so many amazing people. Like, I've learned so much about myself. I met this amazing man. But, like, nothing, like, and I'm, you know, nothing about their relationship.

Yeah. No, she was just, like, being really general. She couldn't even muster up, like, a nice fake relationship. Yeah. No, she was just like being really general. She couldn't even muster up like a nice fake thing. Yeah. I'm just really excited to see how this plays out IRL. Like you're right. Like Olivia is obsessed with like being well liked. She wanted to be like popular with everyone.

So how long will she like realistically let this charade last? She lives in Alaska. Where does he live? I don't know. There's just so much going on. No. And I think I really am curious to see where Jeremy and Bailey go from here. Me too. And he lives in New York. Yeah, he does. And where does she live? I don't know. Jeremy's so interesting. Like it's been a roller coaster, but like that's how you should feel. Like people, like he's really grown so much.

I really think they deserve to win. We're willing to hear it. And their vows were hysterical. Not you getting everyone in the villa to talk like this. It was so cute. It was really cute. And I'm a little afraid that Bailey likes him more than he likes her. Because I do think he likes her, but, like, she's, like, obsessed. I know, but I think he just plays it close to the best.

Okay. So it was whatever. Like, I really enjoyed watching Love island for the first time i do feel like i chose like probably the worst season to start on because like it was so so so good until it wasn't yeah so it is what it is it is what it is um so that's our first part of our tv recap but it does not end here and the tv recap segment is brought to you by canva pro making content is an essential part of what we do to keep our business going but it does not end here.

you know, everything happened. And it's's gonna be a spoiler at some point yeah first of all if you haven't finished it turn this off now because obviously Armand ends up being the one who gets killed by Shane it appeared to have been an accident he doesn't get arrested or anything because this man was on the premises taking a dump in his room no and like trespassing in his room yeah I think just before we dive in we really need to talk about the shit. Okay. Because I was talking to my friend Abe. Okay.

And he, like, thinks, like, it was a live-action shit. Like, it was... No, I could see it coming from the back cheek, like, you know... You thought it was special effects, like... No, I'm not... I don't even think it was that special. I think there was, like, someone feeding the shit, like, from, like, you know, from behind. It's, like...

I can't really do it, but, like... Like a push-pop yeah like it was coming from his like side of his cheek on the other side that I know I know what you're saying it's just more of a visual illusion I felt it was so wild I've honestly never seen and it was up there with the pig and the prime minister fucking no no I did not need to see someone taking a dump no it was really crazy and then and then sorry they dump in the suitcase no I I thought they were gonna spare us a dump. No, it was really crazy. And then, sorry, the dump in the suitcase. No, I thought they were going to spare us a dump in suitcase. I thought we were just going to, like, see his face, like, you know, making a few pushing sounds.

Like, not get the ass and the duty coming out. Like, it was so vulgar. I agree. It's, like, so disgusting and unnecessary, which I don't know why they feel the need to do stuff like that, I guess, because, like, we're talking about it the next day. To be honest, it made the show 10 times more interesting. I was losing my mind, like screaming when it was happening.

When the shit was happening, I was like averting my eyes. I was like, this is disgusting. And then I was laughing so hard. When he found it. When Shane found it, he had to call downstairs and be like, my wife doesn't shit on the floor. Like there's a turd in my room. I hadn't laughed that hard that the entire show. OK, have you ever seen that Wanda Sykes stand-up yes there is a turd in my car I used to watch that when I was in high school all the time if you

ever see just google Wanda Sykes turd it is the funny I think it's a stand-up bit I don't know it's so fucking funny it reminded me so much that's a That's a good call. Yeah. So I was like already feeling just like where it was going. And I mean, not seeing the shit, but like just Shane's reaction to it was just so funny. And then he kills Armand. It is a little like anticlimactic. Yes. Also, like, I don't know. I feel like in some shows that we watch, like someone gets stabbed a million times and they

like still are fighting their way out. And Armand was stabbed on his right, on the right side, like not by the heart even. Yeah, well, the thing is, is that if you stab someone, you're not supposed to pull it out because then all the blood comes out and that's how you die. You lose blood. So if he had left the knife in there and like got an ambulance, he probably would have lived. Got it. But most people don't know that.

Just me. Oh, that's good that you know that. Okay, so. But can we talk about the show like at a glance at a glance because honestly I felt like there were so many um kind of dumb storylines that like I thought would get resolved like everything happens for a reason but like there were just all these things aside from the woman having the baby what else the woman having the baby that man who came and sat next to Jennifer Coolidge at the pool like what I was like what new character even the son who like fell in love with the ocean like

I just didn't understand I just want to say I called it weeks ago that he had the most character development agreed and when he ran off the plane I was happy for him no and like even when he but even before when they were still on vacation he was like coming back to the room with this you want to be even like he spent his day like rowing in the morning, scuba diving in the afternoon. When like, when he arrived, connecting with his father on his Nintendo the whole time, I was really proud of him.

And so I just didn't understand like the point of so many of these characters and so many of these storylines. And I don't, but then at the end, I understood what the show's kind of message was. It's like all these rich people just show up on an island ruin the lives of kill people ruin the lives of everyone who works there and then just go on with their day and the people who work there have to take this emotional burden and

then the next day do it all again with new annoying people I totally get it but the show was boring I agree also like major justice for Belinda like that was just when Rachel's just going on and on about this like shut up no and like Rachel was just the fucking worst yeah you couldn't even root for her and like what she was trying to say it's like I'm even with you it's valid I'm feel alone even when I'm with you like very sad for Rachel yeah but like just she doesn't know who she is she doesn't know what she wants did she meet her husband on the wedding day? Like how did she only find he's he was an asshole. Like and you could see within one second.

So like you dated this man went through the wedding process and like now you're upset and then you're just going to go back. I didn't understand their ending at all. I guess she decided to stay with him maybe because he needed like a shoulder after he accidentally killed someone. Right. Maybe because she like just doesn't know what the fuck she wants. That's what I think it's more of.

But she just, yeah, she doesn't know who she is or what she wants. And like figure it out. Totally. And then I saw someone commented on the toast. And I don't know if they were joking, but it made actually a really good call. That guy that Jennifer Coolidge ends up with is like COVID patient zero. Oh. Because like we never, what was wrong with him? He was coughing the whole time. call that that guy that Jennifer Coolidge ends up with is like COVID patient zero oh because like we never what was wrong with him he was coughing the whole time I saw that I didn't think that I

thought that was just like he brings it back to California no no no but that's like not how COVID started and um I thought it was an interesting take no my take is that he's like very much like Brooks like Vicky and Brooks and he's like faking this illness so that like Jennifer Coolidge will pay all of his medical bills and she's about to be swindled again. And when she said to Belinda, I can't like have another transactional relationship. It's like, well, you're about to have one getting a house in Aspen and like doing all these things for this guy. Like she's just about to be like taken advantage of.

Oh, that totally went over my head. That's a really good call. Like she thought she was breaking her pattern, but she's actually about to get even deeper. Oh, and like she really could have spent all that money on Belinda because like I would go to Belinda's holistic spa. A hundred percent. I feel like she could really heal me. A hundred percent. The, I just really did feel like the show was so overhyped.

Yeah. And so slow and at the end of the day, boring. Yeah. And do you know who created the show? Ned Schneebly. Mr. Ned Schneebly. The guy from. The actual Ned Schneebly. Yeah. Ned Schneebly. The guy from... The actual Ned Schneebly.

Yeah, the actor from School of Rock. He's the creator of the show, which is just an interesting factoid. So all in all, I just did feel like I got on the train because everyone was on it.

And even from the moment I started the show, I just thought it was slow and boring. And I'm glad I stuck with it because I do feel like it was an interesting take. But just from a cinematography point of view,

like, it was a boring show. Yeah, I agree. And I liked it. I enjoyed watching it while I was watching it, but it's just, like, we can all agree nothing happened. And, like, we never got an update with Kai. Yeah. Like, did he go to prison?

It's not good yeah and like did she ever got her jewelry back she did because no because Armand said he would get it back but then Armand died in the airport she was wearing it she was like I think they were like marveling at her bracelets okay I believe that's what I thought I saw yeah and like honestly Paula like just sit like having to be on a trip with them like she was just like so Miz the whole time and that whole family was just Miz fucking vibes the daughter what's her name Olivia yeah the fucking whoa she was the whoa except for Quinn the son he was kind of everything I'm telling you yeah but like he's literally in Hawaii without a cell phone I know

like what is the air is on do you feel it no maybe it's a mirage again um yeah like what is he gonna do for living situation work I mean how is he getting in contact with his family he doesn't have a phone yeah it's like low-key dangerous yeah but I love the kind of wanderlust spirit he currently possesses yeah no and that he's like interested in the world around him did you see when like she told him to get ready for dinner Connie Connie Britton, he was in his little kitchen cot reading a book on like marine biology or like the ocean.

No, I didn't see that. Because he wasn't on his computer, he wasn't on his Nintendo. He was reading a book and it looked like to be about ocean life. No, like, I want to spin off about him.

100%. Like, do they end up rowing around Will they make it to the island? The, where they go, the Polynesians or whatever. Yes, yes, yes.

Do they make it? We'll see. We'll see. So so closing the chapter on that and opening up the Real Housewives of Potomac which last night's episode you know I'm getting like deja vu from last season because I feel like currently until Ashley actually gets to the house and spills the beans that Giselle was bringing up the rumors about Eddie like we're kind of in this standstill and like I just need her to get there and it reminds me of last season when Candace like needs to tell Ashley about the Michael Darby stuff.

It's like, it's like the catalyst. I'm like, just get there already. So I thought we were going to get there tonight. Ashley doesn't even arrive until next episode. Right. But what's crazy is it looked like in next week's episode, like Ashley is getting a lot of shit from people for bringing it up.

But like, I hope that's not where we're headed. I know, I thought, I think that was just editing because I refuse, like, it's fully Giselle. It's fully Giselle, but also, it was interesting to see Giselle,

trying to bring it up, like, she's obviously going about it in, like, steps. Multiple ways. She's never gonna be so overt, as to be like,

you're acting this way, because of this, that, and the other thing, but like, she's like, she's very conniving. The fact that Robin and

Giselle are spending countless hours thinking about what Wendy's wearing is shocking to me one because if Giselle spent literally one-eighth of the time thinking about what she wears maybe she wouldn't be like the joke of the group when it comes to fashion first of all second of all Robin your kids failing school you're struggling so much with your marriage and your mental health stop worrying about Wendy now I agree there is something different with Wendy and I don't think it's this big conspiracy theory I think that and I like how they're like for the whole time that I've known you you've only known her since last year right and also Wendy reminded us that she was two months postpartum and so I I totally didn't put that together so it kind of all does

make sense we don't know who Wendy was who Wendy was before she had kids and maybe she's you know finally getting back to feeling like most herself so I just feel like they're judging her without cause and so jealous she looks amazing use the word substance like last season you had substance implying that this season you don't it was just all wrong so I want to say that like there really is something very interesting happening with Wendy because Wendy's obviously turning hard and fast on Robin and Giselle which is great I love the cottage I would fucking stay in the cottage even though it's a piece of shit like the fact that Candace booked this trip knowing that like what four women are

staying in a palace and three women are staying in like a holiday inn is really not cool no and also lest we not forget that Wendy is Candace's friend. Yes so that's what I was gonna say. Candace brought Wendy on. But but Candace is standing up for Wendy when it comes to Robin and Giselle in her confessionals and even in the room and even though I literally despise Candace I do think that if she stands with Wendy and like the whole group dynamic kinds of change kind of changes because it's like threesome in the cottage is like kind of everything and then Candace joins them and Mia and Karen like. And Ashley. And of course

Ashley. I do think it could finally be like this Robin and Giselle isolating moment that it needs to be because they've always been like the cool group and they're like getting all the new girls and it's annoying but Wendy's like a really interesting target for them because Wendy brings Candace with her. Hopefully. But Candace didn't even bring Wendy into the house. I know but I don't think when Wendy's thinking about it as much as you are

because Candy Candace was defending Wendy this entire episode both in the house and in her confessionals like she stands with Wendy okay okay just think about that's good to remember also I do really feel for Robin when she talks about um like her seasonal depression her seasonal depression and like her personal life and I think she's like starting to realize that it's more like I think all this time she probably was just like starting to realize that it's more like, I think all this time she probably was just like being hard on herself. Like, why can't I do this? As opposed to like, no, it's.

Getting help for herself. Yeah. And just like being easier on herself and realizing like it's out of her control a little bit. And I just thought it was a really nice conversation between all the women and like. Except for Giselle. Except for Giselle. But how they could all relate to her and like, you know know whether at what point in their life they were going through something similar and like I just feel like that's the sort of conversation male like camaraderie that

just what happens on all of these shows once in a while and it's like yeah that's really nice of course and like can you could you die from like how fucking nasty Giselle was being? Like as if you could just fix depression. I agree. But Giselle is Robin's actual friend, like real true friend. And sometimes like, and I guess Giselle's version of helping is like tough love and just like saying, speaking her mind. So I actually think Giselle and Robin are close enough for Giselle to talk to her, to say that to her.

But I think for the rest of the women, it's just like looking like Giselle being Robin are close enough for Giselle to talk to her to say that to her but I think for the rest of the women it's just like looking like Giselle being an asshole again yeah I mean it's crazy to see all these women having more compassion for Robin than even her own best friend even if that is you know Giselle's way of being compassionate Giselle's just so difficult to like and honestly fucking Escala I very much doubted her I did and I think I. But she's like, well, since you're asking everyone so many questions, do you mind if I ask you a question? A very reasonable thing to say. Like, what's the status of your relationship?

And, of course, Giselle, question of, I mean, queen of, like, poking people, asking questions, going too far. I'm not going to talk about that right now in front of certain people. But if you want to ask me privately, like, she's so predictable at this point. It's, like, sad. It's sad sad I agree like she's just full of and the fact that Karen Huger can like sit around at all these like knowing what she knows about Giselle and like how she feels about Giselle and just sit and she's been like

so quiet and reserved and not like saying anything she's a hero because I would be up in arms I just hope her time will come it's coming I do I don't want to jinx it but with the Eddie stuff you turned out to be exactly who everyone said you were going to be um Mia's like being kind of weird yeah like she's not being Karen strong enough you know she's being very much like a mediator like you don't know Giselle like at all and like it's, it's kind of disappointing. Because, like, did you see her response on Twitter last week when someone was, like, how could you just let, like, Robin and Giselle kick you out of, like, the room? She's like, well, you know, some people don't get nice things that much.

So it's nice to let them experience it. Like, I have nice bedrooms and things at home. Yeah. Which is such a good response. Right. I'm disappointed in her lack of taking a side, even though like, I don't think people should take sides,

but like right now. Yeah. Yeah. No, but I think, listen, she's new. Actually,

Giselle and Robin have been nothing but nice to her. Really. And sometimes you have to see for yourself. It must feel good to like come into the group and these big mean girls who like, even you're even Karen, you like can't get along with like, they like you and they want to be friends with you. And like,

she has no reason to take a side right now. I'm sure eventually she will. And based on that Karen, you like can't get along with like they like you and they want to be friends with you. And like she has no reason to take a side right now. I'm sure eventually she will. And based on that tweet, it's, you know. It's already happened. It's Team Monique. Team fucking Monique. Watching these episodes, just like knowing Monique would put everyone in their place. It's so frustrating.

Especially Giselle. Like it's so frustrating knowing what we could have had. Yeah. So I think Mia will come around. I'm not. We don't need her yet. Like, cause she's just too new. Like if she just were to blindly support Karen, it just would look like blind support. And that's like kind of what Wendy did with Candace last season. And it was like, it was made me not like Wendy. Right. Yeah, that's true. Well,

I do feel like tides are turning and I'm just curious. Cause like, you know, Wendy and, and no, not Wendy, um, Giselle and Robin are like in the house with the cool girls like does America support the estate or the cottage I'm firmly team cottage I didn't look last night but I'm firm I believe I believe team cottage let me know in the comments over here on YouTube like are we team cottage like I'm it's so obvious to me like they were like they were in this like shitty little cottage but they're having so much fun and Karen is like I love how Karen wasn't even bothered by like the fact that her room was like 30 times grosser than the other estate because she's like this room provides peace this room is a sanctuary like that's how you know you're with toxic people when you would rather take like

the shitty ass room with people you feel safe with than like being a palace with Robin and Giselle yeah like I felt that's hard. Yeah. I agree. So I do believe next week is when Ashley finally arrives. I thought she was going to make it there tonight and like start stuff, but she didn't. And if Ashley gets blamed, like I'm fucking done. Yeah. I'm fucking done. But I do think Wendy will be able to. Wendy's smart.

See through it. Yeah. Except like I just really can't. I'm really. Wendy's really, really grown on me, except when she talks about her candle company well she didn't talk about it last night I know so that's good yeah um okay other thing that I watched this weekend was OBX oh right right right I'm gonna go to my text messages with you because it has pretty much all of my thoughts so I in the beginning was almost gonna stop watching because when they're in the Bahamas it's just so stupid but when they

all meet up in Charleston and then go back to OBX and like the gang's back together it gets so much better that's what I'll say okay I we text so much but it because it became so infuriating to start to root for the pogues because they're so dumb Kiara so dumb okay first by the way I just want to say like you kept calling me like after every like dumb thing that happened and I did the exact same thing to and I did the exact same thing to Margo at the exact same times I said I was done watching when Kiara they finally get the footage of the murderer and she's like no no no this is what I said I can't take it seriously after Kiara yelled murderer from the rooftop and caused them to lose all their footage they need

to kick her out of the friend group for that if they don't I don't know if I can keep watching not only did they not kick her out of the friend group but i just want to say they dragged greg was that the name of the pilot no it's like devon or something no it's it's like whatever the pilot they dragged the pilot out to me like they gave him the call they got him killed they got him killed they took a video of it they lost the footage and what's crazy gavin and what's so crazy is like when they were blaming each other for like who made the camera drop they never once even said for kiara for yelling murderer no they're like you kicked it i'm like well kiara was the reason we were fleeing you guys wouldn't have it to flee you could have waited until he left the scene

ward and then you would have had this footage and it would have been fucking over. It was so stupid. I wanted to die. Then when they get back and. I said. What? These pogues are morons. I'm about to root for more. Totally. Like they were making it so hard to root for them.

Like they wanted to save John P. But they were literally just sabotaging themselves left, right and center. Left, right and center. Then all of a sudden Kiara has to ask her parents if she can go to Charleston. They literally never go home. They are out days at a time we never even don't even know who their parents are and now she has to get permission to go to charleston obviously that was like leading up to like this storyline about her potentially going to boarding school but like now the obstacle is asking your parents like what in

the world yeah then at one point i kind of shipped topper and sarah so i called margaret when i said the exact same thing because he ended up like showing his true colors like being a dick at the end but up until that point he was taking better care of Sarah than John B was and honestly like Sarah like Sarah's the reason for like Sarah and John B are the reason for like this entire mess and at the end of the day like they really never could be together like we had thought because now we know that John B's dad is still alive but we had thought that like Sarah's dad killed John B's dad which is obviously like terrible but he is still her dad so like it's just literally too complicated and they're really not realistically ever going to be able to like be together. And what is so crazy is their relationship is so strong they're literally

getting married when they're like fleeing the Bahamas with the police on their tail like with nothing in this world and they're like they couldn't be in a better relationship in the one minute they have a bit of peace because Ward um dies quote-unquote um they break up yeah like when it's finally good around them they yeah I guess maybe that's when they have to realize like they're the differences between them and they don't even get to enjoy. Also, these pokes, they're literally running from the police. Everyone wants to kill them. There's always this and the other thing.

They get, say, three hours of a reprieve and they are just getting drunk. Totally. Like, and then someone comes to try and kill them. And they're, like, high and, like, sinking in a tree. And they're all high and drunk. Yeah. Rafe is such a good actor. Like, he's so fucking crazy.

He's so fucking crazy. It was really frustrating that, like, and I'm a family oriented person, of course, but like the lengths that Ward and Rose were going to just to keep their family together. No, it's like you have an actual sociopath living under your roof and you have a young daughter. Why doesn't anyone care about Wheezy? Why doesn't anyone fucking care that Rafe tried to kill Sarah? Why didn't they tell anyone?

No, so this was that I sent to you next. I said, why don't Topper and Sarah go to the police and say rafe attempted to murder her they could have charges pressed against him they could have put away they could have had him behind bars before we ever knew that spoiler alert ward was still alive so what the fuck it's like why didn't she even tell her dad before he died like he he he was like trying to really like ignore the fact that rafe is a serial killer like he didn't want really to admit it. But, like, Sarah's his favorite. So she goes over there thinking she could talk to her dad. She never told him Rafe tried to kill her.

Yeah. I'm like, what? These people don't want to win. No, but Sarah and Topper, it's not like it's Sarah and John B. And John B. is always, like, in trouble. Like, they could have gone to the police, filed a complaint. Topper witnessed. Topper witnessed. And he could have been in jail for a few years. Totally. Like, witnessed. Topper witnessed. And they could,

he could have been in jail for a few years. Totally. Like it was so moronic. And then, and then Rafe wouldn't have been able to get the cross. I knew it. It was pretty predictable. Like the second that Rose,

um, opened the door and saw that letter, like I pretty much knew Ward was still alive because first of all, he's like such a main character and he's too selfish. Like he has so much on the line. The cross, the gold. He's not just killing himself. Like he's coming.

And he said like, you have to trust me, trust me. So I knew that he was going to be alive. And I knew that he was going to be on that boat. But I do feel like I've been able to call some other things. Let's just wait. Let's finish your recap. And then I want to tell you my call. Then I also wanted to say that given the relationship that John B and Sarah had.

They were like husband and wife. John B would have never talked to that random fucking girl at the party and like been flirting with her like that scene was just break up with the love of his life yesterday like they go from being like these international wanted criminals to like actual dumb teenagers like with like you can't be both dumb teenage problems like i mean i think literally the worst decision they made the entire trip was getting into a shipping crate. Like, so dangerous. You could die. Yeah.

No, they're, but everything was just, like, so stupid. Like, I can't, how many times are they going to find the treasure and leave it there while they go back and find something to. Leave someone to stand guard while you take him to the ambulance because he got stung by a wasp. Right. Or, like, I i just i can't also when pope hopped on the back of rafe's truck when rafe was driving the cross and first he was dumping the body and then i can't believe like he had the element of surprise it was just rafe versus pope like round three i guess they kept calling it like okay so he lost the fight whatever but when

rafe was dragging the body out to the water why didn't Pope just walk around to the front and get in the car and drive like no so the worst decisions made of all time so I really was enjoying the show but like the worst decisions made of all time no it's like frustrating because you want to root for them but they're so dumb like they should lose yeah like they're not making smart decisions no and i knew the sheriff was obviously going to investigate ward but like he can't just do that he's a very powerful man you have to be very secretive make sure the kids are right and he did right by them in the end yeah he did um so okay but they just had the videotape moronic it just all goes back to that so when they finally found the cross and that woman on the crutches,

there's supposed to be some cloth in there that has like healing powers. It's so obvious that the cloth is John B's bandana that he's been wearing around his neck. I thought that the whole time and then I saw other people thinking that on TikTok. Like it's so obvious. And there's a reason why he's been acting like a lunatic for two years with people with guns and he's been fine. Like that thing is protecting him that's interesting and sarah had it around her neck when she was in the bahamas like it was protecting sarah no he gave it to her on the boat whatever she got shot when she wasn't

wearing it see i but you think they had a bandana back i know i was thinking holy grail i was just thinking like you know wore a bandana like in of style, it didn't really make sense. But John B's dad is alive. He said he knows where the cloth is. Of course it's John B's. Like there's no way that it's not. I think they had bandanas in, when was it crossed from? Or it could have been like a, you know, a holy cloth,

but they like tie-dyed it and stuff just so that it would blend in with modern society. Yeah, no, there's something there. And then I also saw a conspiracy theory that say that that limbery blonde woman with the crutches is John B.'s mother. I'm going to say no. Because also, didn't John B.'s dad, whose spoiler alert is live at the end, didn't he say, you have to help my son? Didn't he say my son? I don't remember.

We should go back and watch. Yeah, yeah well I'll send you the TikTok that said that it's John B's mom I saw that on TikTok I mean sure that would like be another added element but I think that just the dad being alive is is enough I feel like Topper did not get like enough screen time like he's a good character he is but it's just really hard because when I see Sarah and Topper I just want them to be together but it's like obviously Sarah and John B are end game no for the show yeah but like I don't know I'm not aboard that ship uh whatsoever I think But it's just really hard because when I see Sarah and Topper, I just want them to be together. But it's like, obviously, Sarah and John B are endgame. No, for the show. Yeah.

But like, I don't know. I'm not aboard that ship whatsoever. I think they're actually really toxic and they make the worst decisions and they always are getting in trouble together. It's just so crazy that like the Pogues like are, you know, they want it so badly and they lost the gold and the cross. No. And now they're on some island, like going to make their own surfboards with.

By the way, I love that woman from the Bahamas made a return on the boat. Cleo. Like, that was a great moment. That was a great moment. But, yeah, like, what's the plan? And their parents, like, think that they're dead. And they're just having the time of their life. It was giving me vibes of the society.

Like, when they go back and they show how, like, the parents back in the society think everyone's dead. Yeah. It's not an alternate universe, but it was just reminding me of that. But, like, how are they going to get – i guess maybe they'll build a boat on the island then they can like row actually no they have a boat they need to build oars because they don't have fuel right right right it was just like a little too silly do they have a compass do they have anything that we're gonna make surfboards out Out of what? Wood? Yeah. Tree. A wooden surfboard? Moronic.

It's just the whole, like the show was really good. And actually season two was pretty good. Considering season one, like we have a new treasure. All this stuff that's exciting. But there's just so many holes. And it's so hard to root for them. It's like I can only suspend disbelief about these teenagers living in North Carolina for so long. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Okay, but I'm glad'm glad you watch it yeah I'm glad I watched it too the

only other thing that I did this weekend was I read a book called It Happened One Summer it was the book that Margot was going to choose for the redheads but didn't she chose something like a little bit more serious instead so it's like YA romance and honestly it was really good like it was a really good love story. At first I was like, it's actually the setup of a Hallmark movie, but like the author did a good job of like building the relationship and the love,

you know, and just like, it was really cute, but it was like really raunchy. So it's called, it happened one summer. If Margot was going to choose it. It was raunchier than the usual snitch's choice.

So, but I would recommend it. I really enjoyed like the love story. I thought it was very believable and it was like a cute setup. Cute. My list of books to read is just getting so long. You haven't read in so long.

I haven't read in so long. Like I'm just, I'm not in a reading place. I'll get there soon. Maybe you just need the right book. No, I think it's also just like a seasonal thing. Like I don't read in the summer unless I'm like at the beach, but like I'm never at the beach.

I'm always here. Never at the beach. I'm just here. In the city. So'm like at the beach. But like I'm never at the beach. I'm always here. I'm never at the beach. I'm just here. I'm always in the city. So yeah, that's our show, right? That's our show. The TV recaps were real. I hope you guys enjoyed all that.
