Good morning, Millennials. Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Thursday. We are officially over the hump.
Hey, Claude. How are you doing?
Hey, Jax. Doing well. Sitting at home.
Yeah, we're back at home, you guys. Another audio-only episode because we were having a bit of studio issues today.
So we were like, yesterday's audio was just so premium.
So premium. so we are back
doing it from home which means two things it means one it's another day that brew did not
come into the office and honestly i think that you started all the drama at the studio today
just because you did not want to bring brew because you are now a week overdue
Overdue.
So add that to the list.
Over brew.
We're now six days without brew.
So keep count.
But the second thing that it means is that technically brew is here with me.
He's laying on my bed on my heating pad like an angel and just giving me the joie de vivre that I need to deliver you this episode.
Sure.
That's a loophole.
I mean, you should see this man. He's literally gorgeous.
Gorgeous. How's Jew? Stunning, beautiful, smart, all of the above. What's he up to? What's he getting into today? Just got back from his walk. I'm feeling, you know, today I'm podcasting in
the bedroom and I had to lock him out because sometimes if I lock him in, he'll spend the whole
time we're podcasting scratching on the door and then I won't get my deposit back.
He has to stop scratching the door.
So he's probably feeling abandoned by his mother.
Got it.
And why can't the door just remain open?
Because Ben is outside being loud.
Got it.
I don't think the microphone would pick it up,
but it would be very distracting for me
and then I couldn't deliver the fast five with the joie de vivre that I usually do.
No, that is very, very fair.
I lack brew in tech.
I never even thought about it.
Yes, my door is shut and brew is locked in.
Yeah, and so after years of research,
I've decided that the best thing to do
when podcasting from home is locking him out,
which is just so sad.
That is so sad.
Damn, it's a bad day for do.
It's a bad day for do-da-do.
Do-da-da-do.
But actually... Oh, Gru perked up. Yeah, by the way, you can for do-da-do. Do-da-da-do. But actually,
you can't do that little singing voice
around the boys because they
think it's their calling, like it's time for dinner
or something. Yeah.
When we're on the phone, we'll just FaceTime each other
and we'll be like, what's up? And the other person will be like,
do-da-do. And the dogs
go wild.
We them boys.
We making noise.
Yes.
So I brought your gift home and it's sitting right here next to my vanity.
Just perched up.
And that's what happens when you bring gifts home from the studio.
Oh, I thought you meant the gift that you had for me that you said is coming.
I thought you like brought it to the studio and then had to bring it home.
Oh, no. It still hasn't arrived. That's how custom it is. I don't know when it's
coming. It probably will be here in like September, honestly. For real? That's how custom and special
it is. September? Yeah, I mean, I know, you know what, I'll check in on it, but I just,
it'll get here when it gets here nothing could take longer than the
Maverick t-shirt oh really does Logan Paul not have good shipping well no he's just so in demand
I ordered it the night of his fight and then you guys saw when I gave it to you like there were six
weeks later so probably like the the the advertising advertising on the fight like was so successful
like he probably ran out of stock yeah yeah no it was madness but I was patient it was worth waiting for it was worth the wait speaking of
things worth waiting for the second episode for patreon is up I put it up yesterday it's a vlog
um and it's kind of a vlog all about spritz I obviously vlogged the party and you know tried
to get as many famous people in it as possible but also like the days leading up like some of
the work we were doing um and people honestly it's a really cute
video like you and ben getting like so excited about all that like you'd like with the website
and it's just really cute to watch um it's always fun when i get to watch like a vlog that you
made or vice versa and i'm just like enjoying the entertainment value yeah and it's really cool and
really sweet and you do get more behind the scenesscenes info about Spritz and how it all came about.
And it's been really awesome.
Speaking of Spritz, don't forget to head over to SpritzSociety.com slash toast
or just use the discount code toast to get a discounted variety pack
so you can try all flavors of Spritz.
By the way, people's orders will be arriving today.
If you live near one of the warehouses, because most of them shipped out yesterday.
And I was saying in the vlog, isn't it so crazy that we like started this brand? It's kind of how like Kim sells perfumes on the internet. Like nobody's tried Spritz.
They're just like, you know, in good faith, like we are women of taste. Like if we like it,
they'll like it too. And I just can't believe like literally people are finally going to try it. Like
we've literally sold this thing and nobody even tried it. No, I'm so excited for people to try it because they're
going to love it even more. And it's just going to be so fantastic. Everyone can have like spritz
up their weekends. It's going to be a spritzy weekend. No. And honestly, like the toasters
make amazing content. I'm like, we literally are going to have so much content for days.
Yeah, it's really true. What are you doing this weekend? You know, I don't know. That's a really good question.
I'm kind of like teetering between like wanting to do nothing and just wanting to like throw caution to the wind and jump off a cliff.
But I just have no, I don't know which cliff I would go to.
Interesting.
No one's invited you to their cliff.
Yeah, if you have a cliff or like a house on the beach, like let me know.
Yeah, no, I totally feel that that I think it's going to be another
um weekend in bed with brew which is really nice but like when we podcast from home um I pretty
much work from my bed like I don't even make my bed because I get out of bed yesterday was a
disgusting day for me yeah like I get out of bed I podcast and then I get back in bed I upload the
podcast I edit patreons I answer emails so like it really is like a weekend so I don't know I've had like a relaxing two days
and I might be ready no I feel that I get really bad focus when I'm actually just in bed and so
even when I have a weekend where I'm in bed Saturday Sunday by Monday I'm like ready to go
yeah so after like these days of doing podcasting from home I could feel like I would be ready to
go I really need to take Brew to the country.
He keeps looking at me like,
Mom, can we please go to a bucolic vibe?
And I'm like, Brew, who taught you to speak like this?
Well, you know what?
He's a victim of circumstance.
He had to get in the dictionary and find a word
that so accurately describes what he's looking for.
And until I learned the word bucolic,
which was, it was in an article we were reading.
Do you remember what article it was?
I'd be so curious to remember.
No. No. Um, well anyways, that word has like really changed my life.
Yeah, it really, really has. And it's just, it's changed my life probably for the negative. Cause I'm now like always seeking out something that I don't have. No. And like the anti-bucolic nature of our current lives has never been more apparent.
Disgusting.
It's disgusting.
That sounded like a sentence that would be in like someone's dissertation.
The anti, what did I say?
The anti-bucolic nature of our lives has never been more apparent.
Of our current lives.
That is literally like the theme of my life.
Yes.
The anti-bucolic nature of it all.
And by the way, I want to tell everyone, I'm still searching for apartments because I will see the snow by Christmas.
And last night I actually found an apartment that doesn't have everything I want, but it's pretty fucking close.
You should vlog this journey.
No, it's too depressing.
So no, but listen, just hear me out on the vision,
on the directorial debut. It's like a little Hallmark movie, like will Claudia see the snow
at Christmas? And it ends hopefully with you watching the snowfall in your new apartment.
Or it's like me on the first snowfall in New York, like in my current bedroom, like crying.
Yeah, no, it'll be a tragedy in that case. But, like, still, you should be taking us on the journey so that if there is a happy ending to this story, like, we have a major motion picture.
Okay, but the thing is, is that this would be a very boring vlog because literally all I do is lay in bed on Street Easy.
And then last night, I found one that I actually liked.
It was on the market.
Joined yesterday.
I emailed, like, can I please come tour?
And literally, as we're sitting
here I got a notification that the apartment has been rented damn and it was like a good price it
was too good to be true but I do think that these sort of hurdles are going to be really good for
the movie because it's like plot she was so for the plot like these are plot devices you have to
look at it that way no I can't can't. Like I'm so upset.
But also like I need to be a little patient because everyone knows like the summer is the worst time to look for an apartment because all these postgrads moving to New York.
I just want to say, okay, wait, wait, wait.
I just want to say one thing because that is like the narrative.
But you are no longer looking for the same apartments as postgrads.
Of course not.
Like I'm a lady.
Of course, of course.
But still, it's just the worst. It really is. Especially now with COVID, like it is, I think the worst
rental market in history for renters, not for people who own apartments. Like I should rent,
I should buy an apartment and rent it because that's the only way I'll be able to afford what
I really want. Okay. And so you actually, but with the eviction moratorium, you might not get
your rent paid. Okay, whatever.
Okay, you're taking this too seriously.
All I'm saying is that I do think I should be a little bit more patient and wait about a month.
But I'll still be checking, but I'm not getting anywhere before October. And that's something I'm going to have to just kind of live with.
Okay, well, hopefully it doesn't snow in October.
Shit.
It's not going to.
Is it going to be unseasonably cold in October.
No, I mean, snowfall in the city in October is really unheard of.
Because remember when it snowed in November for the divine diversion and like the city
couldn't handle it because the trees got too heavy.
And that was crazy.
And that was like November 13th-ish.
You know, I have actually blocked out that night from my memory because it was such a
terrible time. It was it was such a terrible time
it was a deeply deeply terrible time and I when I was on my um rerouted journey through Tennessee
and we got to Nashville and like Nashville was like our you know when we got there it was like
Haven yeah it was you know we were so stoked to be there, but then we passed the gate
that we sat at for the divine diversion. I was like, I was like, this is an imperfect airport.
Like I know we're putting all of our eggs in this Nashville basket, but I have trauma. Okay. First
of all, if you're new here and you don't know what the divine diversion is, I really, I implore you
to go find our episode of the divine diversion, but second of all, it's 2019 and it's like November, like I said,
November 12th, 13th ish. So literally I cannot fly in and out of the Nashville airport without
passing that gate where we were diverted. And it's right next to the Delta sky lounge. It is
so filled with trauma. And I, for some reason, I guess because I always fly Delta
into Nashville because it's so easy, LaGuardia to Nashville, I cannot enter that airport without
walking past it. And it is so triggering. I'm so glad you brought that up. Yeah. So I didn't want
to tell the group like Nashville might not be our saving grace. Like we could end up in Pittsburgh.
But I didn't want to bring the group down. And luckily everything worked out in Nashville came
through for us.
When we were in Pittsburgh, is there a moment that stands out to you?
Because, like, for me, when we took the escalator down and we headed to our Uber and this, like, it was a, I remember, like, bright, bright red car.
And I see him, like, pulling.
First of all, it took, like, 20 minutes to get an Uber.
And we're standing in the snow.
And I see him approaching.
And he opens his trunk. And we're putting our bags in. And I just like turn around at this blizzard in this random
city that I've never been to. And I, I, I've never felt lower in my life. Like that moment,
like was so transformative for me. Is there a moment that sticks out for you?
There is. And it's when we got to the hotel, which was really beautiful and it was a really
nice hotel. And so I'm not going to put them on blast or anything.
They were great.
They were great.
There was a jazz trio in the lobby.
There was.
And it was all decorated for Christmas.
And I guess like I've never been to Pittsburgh that I think that I think I haven't.
And it was all decorated for Christmas.
It was like very Hallmark.
And they made us feel very welcomed.
And so we were riding a small high.
Are you talking about the food? When we got to our rooms and we ordered room service and I ordered spaghetti and it had a hair in it. And for me, for me, that was a low
point. No, I feel that that that'll do it. That'll do it. Oh my God. That's so funny. I had forgotten
about that because like I said, I blocked I blocked this night out in my head.
And if I ever go to like my camera roll, oh, my God, I'm sure it's just full of trauma.
Yeah.
No, it's really bad.
So if you guys aren't familiar with our Divine Diversion experience, and I mean, I guess we didn't keep in touch with anyone from the flight.
But I do wonder if anyone fell in love.
Wait, also, the real trauma of the whole day was the next morning.
Like we got diverted to Pittsburgh and we had to stay in a random hotel.
And then we finally were the first flight out.
It was like 8 a.m.
We woke up so early.
We get to the gate.
And I guess like Delta forgot to staff the flight because nobody had told like flight attendants or a pilot like that we needed to get to New York.
So we're sitting there where they're like, oh, we don't have any staff.
And we're like, what?
How?
Oh, my God.
And then we stood we sat at that airport for like another six hours waiting for flight attendants.
Yeah.
Like sitting there with our morning breath.
I remember that it was the day it was the day that the greatest Showman Reimagined album came out, and I thought that listening
to it would cheer me up, but now it's just like full of negative associations.
You know?
Oh my god, that was, that was the craziest day.
And I guess it's like not that crazy, like people get diverted all the time.
No, like to have to go to a city you've never been to and like get a hotel is really, when you're just like two young steens, like we were just, we didn't have like Olivia there. Like
if Olivia was there, it would have been better. Like she would have fixed everything. No, she,
no offense to Olivia, but like there was nothing that could have been done even by her. No, but
like Jackie, when we literally were in the sky and they're like, ma'am, we're going to Pittsburgh.
And we were like, well, where do we sleep? Like it was traumatizing. I had to like find a hotel. Like if Olivia would
have just done it all for us and she would have gotten us to a hotel that didn't have hair in the
food. Okay. We went to the nicest hotel in Pittsburgh. We like there's Uber. We did everything.
And at that point you had a manager who was also like helping manage you in terms of logistics.
Like give us a little credit. We really did the best that we could.
Yeah, so it's sounding like I made all the plans
and that's why you felt safe.
And what I'm saying is I wish Olivia was there
just to have done that for me.
Sure, I guess.
I just feel like in the age of technology,
you're never really stranded
as long as you have cell service.
That's actually hella true.
But you know what's the other thing I learned?
Because I really, I guess I travel a lot, service. That's actually hella true. But you know what's the other thing I learned? Because like
I really, I guess I travel a lot, but like very, I don't take a lot of like one stop,
two stop flights. Like I don't find myself in airports a lot at random hours. And I guess I
never realized like the airports close. Yeah. What the fuck? Like from midnight to like 6am.
So like when we landed, diverted in Pittsburgh, it was like no man's land.
It was actually scary.
Yeah.
Honestly, can we stop talking about this?
Like I'm actually having drama.
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's get into the Fast Five stories so that we can talk about Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Yes.
Without further.
Oh, and also I watched Siesta Key.
So.
Ooh.
You guys, I'm so upset. I don't want to talk about it okay well we have to we have to but we're gonna have to no because siesta key was
fine because sam and juliet were together but like knowing what comes next right right voting
yeah it was foreboding without further ado to do to do here are the past high 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 paypal when it's time to pay, why pull out your wallet, open your purse when you probably
already have your phone in your hand? And if you carry a big purse like I do and you have two
wallets, which is so unnecessary, it can be really dramatic at a register. Well, PayPal QR code
payments are now accepted at CVS stores nationwide, so it's super easy to make touch-free payments
with your phone. Plus, you get $10 cash back on your first purchase of $20 or more.
So when you're running to CVS just to get one thing, you know, you see a bunch of other
things you need, and it becomes like a whole journey, and then you have to pull out your
wallet.
It's just drama at every corner.
Now you can indulge, but also get rewarded with PayPal, because CVS now accepts super
easy touch-free payments with PayPal and Venmo, and you get $10 cash back on your first in-store QR code payment of $20 or more.
So I shop at CVS literally once a day.
There's literally one on my corner for everything in my house, beauty stuff,
and it's just so easy to pull out a QR code.
My phone is always in my hand, and sometimes I leave the house with the wrong wallet.
Like, don't ask me why. I have two. I'm just a mess.
So to get that $10 cash back on your first transaction of $20 or more,
head to your local CVS and pay using PayPal or the Venmo app.
That's $10 cash back on your first purchase of $20 or more with the PayPal or Venmo app.
To see terms and learn about how to get that $10 cash back, go to paypal.com slash toast.
That's paypal.com slash toast to learn more and see terms.
And check it out.
That's something, really just an interesting factoid that I feel like a lot of people need to know.
Yes, thank you very much.
Are you ready for our first story?
It's a pleasure.
First up, Scarlett Johansson and husband Colin Jost welcome their first baby together.
It's baby Joy for scar joe and kojo the tony winner and her snl
star husband recently welcomed their first baby together her rep exclusively confirms to people
and colin posted on instagram saying it's a boy we yeah okay okay we had a baby it's a boy we
named him cosmo okay i have three things to say. Well, two actually.
Three.
One, I'm very happy for them.
Two, odd parents, fairly odd parents,
hot noose, rubber goose, green moose,
driver's juice, giant steak, birthday cake,
large fries, chocolate shake.
Cosmo, okay, like cute,
but like literally the fairly odd parents.
So let's just get that out there.
That's what people were saying.
That song has no business going that hard, by the way.
No fucking business.
Honestly, Diplo or like some DJ needs to take that and make it into a banger.
Because if they play that in the club, like,
I would fucking lose my mind.
No, I know. Have you seen that TikTok about that song?
Yes, of course.
You sent it to me.
Oh, my God.
Back when you had TikTok.
Back when I had TikTok, those were the sort of arts I enjoyed.
Yeah.
I like the name.
I saw in the comments on Morning Toast, like, everyone was like, Cosmo,
favorite of the iParents.
But I actually think it's a really cute name.
Yeah.
What do you think they'll call the kid, like, for short?
Cosmo? I mean, Co I actually think it's a really cute name yeah what do you think they'll call the kid like for short Cosmo I mean Cozzy sorry no but what's wrong with calling it Cosmo well everyone it everyone needs like a nickname and is Cosmo
short for cosmopolitan like I don't know but why can't you just call someone like their two
syllable name okay like okay we have a child, Mikayla.
Let's call her Mikayla.
Have we ever called her Mikayla?
Her name is K.
Kaila Swift.
That's three syllables.
Three syllables.
Kaila.
Like, we...
We just call her Kaila, which is two syllables.
I'm just saying kids get nicknames.
Not when they're two-syllable names.
Lilibet.
Three syllables.
Lilibet.
I wanted to say two other things.
Scarlett has a daughter already whose name is Rose.
She does?
Yeah, from her previous marriage.
Rose is seven.
Who's Rose's father?
Rose's father is...
Is it Ryan Reynolds?
I don't know.
No, it's not Ryan Reynolds.
That's what I was looking to find out.
Roman Doriac.
Oh, okay.
Nobody.
Or Romaine.
Is it nobody?
Okay, wait.
I have two more things to say.
One, like, I do appreciate how they're, like, very low-key.
Like, no big announcement.
But they also don't keep people in the dark.
I just, like, hate...
Okay, like, I get that he's a funny guy. i'm a funny gal like i appreciate being funny but like i hate when
people like have to make everything a joke do you know what i mean like joke joke joke joke joke
and so he posted this like carousel in the second image was like please reach out to our publicist
michael che like funny funny funny it's just like do we have to make a joke now? Like jokes are funny. Like most of the
time, but like always a joke. I mean, imagine how Scarlett feels. Oh my God. She probably thinks
it's so annoying. That's probably like something that they fight about. Like you can't take
anything seriously. And then the last thing I wanted to say was like, ever since they announced
their birth, like my Tik TOK, I guess people are just like interested in Scar Jo. And this clip from his audio book was like being just like went viral.
Someone posted it where he's talking about Scarlet.
And this is just like the 10th time I've been like, I really want to read Colin Jost's book.
And I actually think that like is what I might do today.
Oh, my gosh.
That would be so lovely if you picked up your Kindle again.
I know.
I feel like a work from home day is perfect for a
Kindle. It really is. I actually started a new book last night. I've been having such a hard time
figuring out what to read next. Twilight. Because I haven't fallen down any rabbit holes in a while.
And I just started The Personal Librarian. It's historical fiction and I saw it at every
airport I was at last week and it has 4.12 on Goodreads so and it's about J.P. Morgan's
personal librarian. Oh that is interesting. You think Sonya's in the book? No but maybe we'll get
to like his grandson who is Sonya's husband. Yeah by the way this is totally random but like I was thinking because I think last week they were talking about she was talking about husband. Yeah. By the way, this is totally random, but like I was thinking,
because I think last week
they were talking about,
she was talking about JP,
obviously,
and she was like,
I knew he was old,
but he's like in his late 70s,
maybe even early 80s.
So maybe it's the son?
No, but I'm just thinking like,
if he passes away,
does Sonia's life change at all like does she get any money i know her
daughter probably gets a ton of money uh she probably doesn't but her daughter will definitely
like help her out right yeah maybe that's like something she's banking on i was just thinking
about that because she never talks about that but like when she said his age i'm like oh my god
it could be like you know in the next five years yeah but he also could be a sprightly 77 so true he could be like a Joan
River 77 he could be like Prince Philip right oh my god totally did you ever finish the prince
no I didn't I was actually thinking about that that's why I don't like like starting stuff
unless I like know I can finish it I like started it on a whim and now I'm like just halfway through and I have to finish it it's so good yeah I know there's a
musical number wow who's singing everyone it's so good it's called like when will I find my happy
ever after it's actually like a gorgeous medley that's so. Okay, are you ready for our next story?
Only if it's about chocolate shake!
It's not, but it is about justice.
What does that have to do with chocolate shake?
It doesn't.
I said it's not.
No, you said but it is.
Like, as if it's some sort of, like, consolation.
It is a consolation, because I think justice is sweeter than a chocolate shake.
Wow, those are fighting words.
Do you disagree?
Let's hear the story. Who's getting justice?
Years in the making,
the R. Kelly sex abuse trial gets underway in New York.
R&B star R. Kelly, who is a predator
who lured girls, boys, and young women with his
fame and dominated them physically, sexually,
and psychologically, a prosecutor said Wednesday,
while a defense lawyer warned jurors
they'll have to sift through lies from accusers
with agendas to find the truth.
The differing perspectives came
as the long-anticipated trial began unfolding
in a Brooklyn courtroom where several accusers
were scheduled to testify in the next month
about the Grammy-winning, multi-platinum-selling singer
whose career has been derailed by charges
that have left him jailed as he goes broke. So... Okay, wait, because I have watched all of the
documentaries, and I was under the assumption all this was taking place in Chicago.
It's here now. Isn't it? It might be a different trial. Okay. Yeah, I agree with you because it was all like happening in cooks county
but it's taking place in new york and i think we are on our way to justice for the girls right
because i remember when the documentary came out they had gotten some sort of delay which was
supposed to help r kelly like they his lawyers got him, like, a seven-month push or something. And I guess now is the actual start time.
So, we, he may be, like, you know, less of a hot topic.
You know, when the documentary came out, everyone was, like, all abuzz.
And now, obviously, like, the news cycle washes out.
But, like, I have never stopped thinking about R. Kelly and Justice for the Girls.
And so, today or yesterday, whenever this was, is a great day.
That's what I'm saying.
You are totally right.
This is a better story than chocolate cake.
This is sweet.
This is sweeter.
Yeah.
I do feel like, you know, some of the buzz around all this has died down, you know, because the documentary made such a big splash.
But it's important to remember that things are happening.
This trial is underway and we might be seeing some justice for the girls.
I know.
And, you know, I have so much like like, excitement and hope that, like, justice will be served.
I just, like, really pray that the justice system does not fail the girls.
You never know.
Again.
Again.
Because it failed them the last time.
Yeah.
So, like, we just, we can't get too excited.
We cannot count our chickens before they hatch.
That's true.
That's true.
But the trial is underway.
And I wanted you guys to know.
Thank you for letting us know.
I actually did not even see that, like, when I was reading, you know, as I do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, it's weird.
It's been pretty, like...
Low-key.
Quiet.
Yeah, low-key.
Switching gears, are you ready for our next story?
Sure.
Kourtney Kardashian calls out kim kardashian
over this wild college memory so the kardashian girls are fighting over on instagram over like
what happened when kim visited courtney in college where the hell have i been i didn't see any of
this okay kim posted a picture of her and courtney from when courtney went to the university of
arizona and Kim wrote college years baby
University of Arizona single-handedly stopped me from turning into a wild party girl I remember
visiting court on campus and being her designated driver I hated all of the wild parties so much
that I stayed home and never wanted to drink or party ever so thank you U of A I was never a
student there but you shaped my life more than you know. Oh, my God.
So I saw that post, and I was like, oh, that's really funny.
And it's just, like, crazy to think about, like, the girls, like, going to college and all that stuff.
And it's crazy to think about that, like, Courtney is the only one who graduated college.
I believe Rob went but did not graduate from Southern Methodist University.
Courtney graduated.
I thought Rob went to USC.
I thought Courtney went to Southern
Methodist university. Somebody went to SMU. No, I think it's USC and you're just getting your
letters mixed up. No, I'm telling you, just give me one second. I know like that is like a Kardashian
fact that I know. No, I feel really strongly that Rob went to USC. Like, but maybe I'm wrong.
Okay, Courtney went to Southern Methodist University and the University of Arizona.
Okay, so we're all right.
Yeah.
We all know where Courtney went.
Okay, however, Courtney commented on Kim's picture
that she remembers things a little differently.
She said, I remember feeding you jungle juice
and someone else was driving, I won't name names,
and blasting Rough Riders.
She said, maybe I was partying too hard to remember correctly.
Anyone else who was there wanted to chime in.
Then Chloe chimes in saying, I was there too.
She said, I was there that night too, bitch.
And then she posted a picture from the same night that she's in.
I guess, like, everyone forgot that she was there.
And then Courtney commented, the night of the Clomotion party where we put jungle juice in the water cooler.
This is just like so off-brand.
I can't imagine a Kardashian drinking jungle juice.
No, this is just like, this was a wild ride.
Well, honestly, this is such like a sisterly thing because we all, I think we all, we all have like, you know, memories that we share and we recall them so differently.
And, and like in my mind and like in your mind, it 100% happened that way.
Like nobody's lying, but you remember things differently than other people.
It's true.
That's the thing about memory.
It's relative.
It actually is, which is really messed up.
Um, I just like, I actually, I can't wait for them to see this. I need to go look at their Instagrams because pictures of them messed up um I just like I actually I can't wait to see this
I need to go look at their Instagrams because pictures of them in college it just like doesn't
it just doesn't make sense no like it's literally so crazy like it just takes you back remember when
you used to visit me in college I mean I think it had the opposite effect where like it definitely
made you just like want to get out there I was activated like I because I went, cause I went to NYU, I went to NYU. I had like
no social life. I had like just met Ben. So like all we did was hang out together. I literally was
the biggest loser in college. And the first time I visited you, I was in high school
and it was like fun, but you were a freshman. It wasn't like that crazy, but it was like cool to
be at parties and like take pictures for Facebook albums. Yeah, for sure. But I wasn't like so plugged in. No, no, not at all.
Then I visited you when you were in the townhouse. Remember? So yeah. So when you were a freshman,
I was a freshman. You had like, we're in your, you know, group, your sorority and like things were,
we're getting more lit than usual. Yeah. Then there was the time of all times.
Senior year. You were a senior senior you were like all of your
friends lived on like the same hallway in this apartment building it was like so fun we like
all stayed in all of their rooms and we went to that party that like literally will go down in
history oh wait but i was also there for another time oh where we took all those pictures that
used to be the toast after dark facebook cover photo where gibson got married oh yeah that was
i think you visited me like three times senior
year wait and then there was also the time we did keg stands you came in the spring where i wore
that blue sweater senior year where i did oh yeah oh wait i'm sorry and then beta beach where um
that was that was the townhouse here where i smoked a cigarette and literally had to go home
for the night i had the worst fucking headache of all time and then everyone was like drunk and i
was sober and i like took someone's Jeep and picked you guys up
because like. Wait, and you visited me sophomore year when we went to that 80s party. That's
what I was saying. By the way, 80s parties was also the wedding. Okay. Okay. So yeah,
no. No, no, it wasn't. No, it wasn't because you visited me sophomore year and Gibson wouldn't
have been getting married until we were seniors. Okay wasn't a real wedding you guys it was like some stupid fraternity thing it was like
a theme that was a theme okay whatever like I couldn't get enough and like for my boring life
in New York like to go to parties with alcohol like it was I was activated like literally and
I never in my life really regretted like not going to a real school like unless like when I was
visiting you I was like oh my god this could be my life like thisted, like, not going to a real school. Like, unless, like, when I was visiting you, I was like, oh, my God, this could be my life.
Like, this is so fun.
And I guess, like, I really justified the years after college where I, like, partied a lot.
I'm like, this is my college years.
And, like, I'm still in them.
You're still doing them.
100%.
100%.
And when people are like, you go out a lot, I'm like, I didn't go to college.
Yeah.
No, it's really true.
You have a lot of making up to do.
But our next story actually is completely related. And it's going to be a bit of claudia explains it all because um we need to
talk about balma rush oh yeah of course please explain to us what's going on i mean i can put
together the details that like girls who are rushing at alabama are going viral for like their
let me tell you stuff so basically like maybe like two weeks ago i was on tiktok and i was that like girls who are rushing at Alabama are going viral for like their rush stuff.
So basically like maybe like two weeks ago I was on TikTok and I was getting like all these girls
who with southern accents like doing like my OOTD, like my jewelry's from Kendra Scott.
And like for some reason they just kept populating on my For You page.
And then all these other people were making content like is anyone else getting like all
these Alabama students like on their For You page?
And then like that created more momentum.
And then we all just started like, you know, what are they going to wear today?
And then they were all at school early for Rush Week.
And a lot of schools participated, but Alabama was the one like people were super invested in.
There were a couple girls who got like huge followings from sharing their OOTDs and like their dorms.
And it was like so southern and like sweet.
And we were like,
Oh my God,
we like,
we love these girls.
Like,
I wonder which sorority they're going to get into.
So once it started to blow up,
all the girls who were rushing at university of Alabama,
like started making TikToks because they wanted,
you know,
the clout and we needed the content.
And so like girls who were rushing girls who were already in sororities,
doing the rush,
you know,
making up dances,
like people were just getting so invested.
Then everyone was sharing, like, their own experience at college sororities.
And so at University of Alabama, there were a few girls who, like, really were the first to do the OOTDs and, like, became, like, influencers in the space.
And one of them was this girl, Mikayla, who was so sweet.
And, like, she had such a southern accent.
Kayler?
Kayler.
And she had such, like, a southern accent.
So she was saying, like, my dress is from Normal.
And we're like, what are these stores?
Like, my skirt is from the Pants Store.
We're like, what is that?
So then she's giving us, like, a tour of the Pants Store.
Like, she was really letting us in on this cultural moment.
And then it was, like, bid day.
I don't know all the words like prep day,
whatever, like, Oh, no, those are the words. Okay. So she's showing us her OOTDs and we're
really rooting for her. And what we're learning about this whole thing is that, and I knew this,
but not to the extent that I know it now, like Alabama sororities are fucking serious, like
legit, like you need to have good grades. You need to have a referral. You can't be, you know,
posting on social media with red cups.
Like, you have to, it's literally like getting into college again.
So it's really prestigious.
And this girl, Michaela, was a triple legacy.
I forget which sorority.
Triple legacy at this one sorority, and she had, like, amazing, you know, she was just, like, everything of the sort.
And literally in the middle of Rush, there's a rumor going around that Mikaela got dropped from every sorority.
And I don't know how the rumor got started.
I think, and then also at the same time,
for some reason, her TikTok got suspended,
which happens all the time.
Like you just can't post,
you're like banned for a few days.
So we're like, what the fuck is going on?
Like there was so much tension
and like she left a comment somewhere
or she liked a comment saying that she was dropped,
thus confirming the dropping.
So now all the content's coming out like justice for Michaela, justice for Michaela.
And as we're waiting to hear from her, somebody finds a video on Old Row, which is like one of those like college barstool things.
A video of her and her friend and her friend's like really drunk in the bathroom and her friend like falls over the garbage can and it's like funny, ha ha.
And this is like a direct violation
of Alabama protocol you know excuse me so we're all sharing the video and we're like is this the
video is this why she's not been dropped I mean that's why is that that was she has been dropped
finally a few days later her account comes back she does like a live she makes a couple tiktoks
and she basically says like yes it's all true like i am moving on
with my life i'm so grateful now she has like 150 000 followers she doesn't need the fucking
sorority she's like kind of like you know she could drop out of college like she's grateful
for the the platform the opportunity you know it wasn't meant to be but like it was a really huge
blow because like we were all rooting for mikaela and mikaela i believe she's biracial or I believe she's biracial.
So a lot of people were like, you know, you know, and by the way, there's so much history in the University of Alabama sororities, like as early as 2013, where like they were segregated.
Like there was it was national news. And I do believe I have to do more research.
Karen Huger was involved in the movement. So now we're all like, well, Michaela didn't get in the sorority like this is suspicious.
so now we're all like well Michaela didn't get in the sorority like this is suspicious so it was just like it was a journey for everyone involved and we're on the other side I still get
like a lot of sorority content now I'm getting like you know tours of people's dorm rooms and
like their their rooms in the houses of these mansions and honestly like that makes me want
to go to like a big school with sororities because you see these girls, like, they're having so much fun.
They're, like, living with their best friends,
but they have, like, queen beds in their own room,
and they, like, share a bathroom.
It's, like, so Delta New.
Yeah.
And it's really been a wild ride.
So everyone is situated in their sororities.
They got their bids.
Yeah.
And then, like, bid day was just, like, the craziest day
because, like, at University of Alabama, they, like, literally look literally take the football stadium and like all the girls fill it up and
they have assigned seats and there's like folders on their seats and they can't open the folder
until like the person on the stage says like 10 9 and then 3 2 1 and then they open it and like
they all fit film themselves and they like you would think it's like they're opening you know
a paternity test like it's like it's like maury they're like like it's just nuts it's like they're opening you know a paternity test like it's like it's like maury
they're like like it's just nuts it's like a cultural it's like a it's such a weird culture
like i knew nothing about of course like from sydney white like that that's my frame of reference
right no like we get like sorority stereotypes for movies but like it actually sounds like even
crazier than what we see in the movies these girls don't sleep they don't eat for a week like it's actually like i'm trying to like stay positive but like when i think
about it it's like really toxic but like i just want to enjoy it like from my perspective but
it's definitely like it's definitely not great for the for the gal's mental health oh no probably
not and like when you want to bid a sorority like basically like all the girls who are already in it
like sit in this room.
Like really how it was in Sydney White.
And they just like go through a PowerPoint and it's like ugly, fat, big nose.
You know, like they really do that.
Because I got a lot of DMs from people who like graduated obviously and who were like parts of, you know, the team.
I don't know, whatever it's called, in the sorority.
And they're like, it's horrible.
That's so horrible. It's so crazy how like the cycle just continues. Cause like at one point
you're the person going through it and you're like, you know, this is so wrong, but then
eventually you're the person doing it. And it's like, can some people just break the cycle and
be like, we didn't like how this felt when we were on the other end, let's not do it to other people.
No, totally. And I guess there's like some good things. Cause I got some messages from people.
And like, the good thing is that like being a part of it's at some of these schools where it's like really fucking
rigorous you have to have amazing grades like in high school and like in your first semester so it
does keep the girls like on track um but like they control your social media like you can get
fined like it's just so like it's crazy yeah that is really crazy yeah so that's where I've been for
like the last couple weeks.
Well, thank you for explaining it to us.
This has just been like a fun trip down memory lane.
And just never forget, justice for Michaela.
A hundred percent.
And now it's time for our fifth and final story.

I got a sickening pair of shades from Blenders Eyewear, and you know that they were sickening because the snatcher stole them.
She snapped your wrist and stole your glasses. from Blender's eyewear. And you know that they were second name because the snatcher stole them.
She snapped your wrist and stole your glasses.
Mm-hmm.
And she's wearing them in one of her latest Instagram posts.
What nerds? And she looks so amazing.
Well, she didn't really steal them.
I told her she could borrow them
because I knew they would look so cool on her.
She's so cool.
But that's how you know that it's good stuff.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, our fifth and final story.
Aunt Anstead is gushing about his really lovely girlfriend, Renee Zellweger.
Oh my god, this story is just too thirsty for me.
But it's not because it includes Renee Zellweger, it's just so weird.
The British TV host gushed about his quote really lovely girlfriend in a new interview with Extra,
joking that he owes Discovery for introducing them as they met on his new series, Celebrity IOU.
He said, the show is called IOU.
It's actually Discovery Plus, IOU.
Thank you.
Thank you for your dating service.
You can now take me off your database.
Oh, he's a comedian.
So, like, he's...
Not that we ever thought that they weren't a couple, even though, like, I don't know of any strange.
Even though it couldn't possibly be.
I don't know of any stranger thing that's happened, but he's confirming it.
Well, also, there is a few updates in the Anstead Hack Summer Rae El Moussa circle.
Summer Rae? Not Summer Rae. Heather Rae, sorry. Heather Rae El Moussa circle. Summer Rae?
Not Summer Rae.
Heather Rae, sorry.
Heather Rae.
Oh, my God.
I was like.
Summer Rae is like an Instagrammer.
Right, right.
I was like, I didn't hear that part.
No, sorry, sorry.
Okay, the first piece of news is that Christina Hack bought a $10 million house, and it's
like sickening and just crazy that like she had $10 million.
The other piece of news is that a lot of people think that Christina Hack and her new man,
whose name is so unremarkable that I don't know it, but he's like a businessman.
People think they're engaged because they put up like a couple Instagram stories and
like him and like people close to them posted like a boomerang of them popping champagne
was like so happy for you.
But we haven't heard anything about it.
And it's been a week.
And I feel like they're too thirsty to like let that opportunity go so I don't think it's true but there is a major
conspiracy that she would be engaged again which would just be so crazy that would be so crazy but
I'm just saying it's conjecture okay I do think she would tell us did you I don't know if we ever
followed up you watch that tikt TikTok of the whole circle, right?
You know, it was a little long.
Okay, basically Christina Hack's new boyfriend, his sister used to host a podcast with Heather Ray.
Got it.
And that, and of course, like the whole Renee thing, like that's, that part you know.
Of course.
Yeah, no, it's so fucking crazy.
It's just like, my mind hurts.
I know. This is like the most weirdest, insignificant love rhombus ever.
It's literally a pentagram.
No.
I guess so, because there's crisscrosses and stuff.
It's a hexagon.
Honestly, it's like an octagon.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's eight players for sure.
Okay, well, those are the past five.
Definitely feel as though you needed to know them.
But let's just get to the reason we're all here,
to talk about last night's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,
which was very awkward.
Yeah, so the whole episode was pretty much the dinner.
But let's just take it from the top,
where the women finish their conversation,
you know, at Sutton's request to talk about how they were feeling about stuff. And I felt like what everyone said, whether they were like, you know, as hard as Sutton or like
somewhere in the middle, like I felt like everyone, you know, you could understand how they're feeling
that way. And I do feel like in other circumstances, like, you know, get all, getting all the women
together and talking about if we want to stand by our friend, like would be kind of shady,
but like in this situation, like it's so much bigger than them
and what I do feel like Sutton isn't maybe she doesn't feel this way but what I would feel if I
were Sutton is like obviously there's legal implications and like all this stuff that they
need to worry about and as we saw you know the Beverly Hills producers cast and crew including
them are being like subpoenaed so. So, like, she wasn't wrong.
She wasn't wrong.
But I feel like they are being used in order for Erica to sell a story.
Totally.
And so they are, that, like, so they play a role in that, you know?
Of course.
And so it's like sitting here, like, are we being, like, manipulated to, like, have this story that Erica's saying, you know? Of course, and Son's like sitting here like, are we being like manipulated to like
have this story that Eric is saying,
which is basically like, Tom was a good guy until
three years ago. He got into a car accident, had a
head injury, and now has dementia and he's never been the same
and in the last three years, he destroyed
his firm and destroyed people's lives.
When the LA Times article, Crystal so accurately
pointed out, predates
three years. It's like 12 years ago. The first one is
the burn victim, which was in the early 2000s. Like, so you're kind of selling this story. Your lawyers
are aligned with it. Tom's lawyers are aligned with it. And you're using the show to do that.
And Sutton's like, no, I'm a part of the show, too. I don't support this charade.
Yeah. So I understood what Sutton was saying. Of course, when Erica comes and sits down,
it's like, wow, are we really going to go and say all of this again?
And who thought it was a good idea to put them next to each other?
They should have been sitting across from each other.
Kyle said, I did the seating.
Yeah, no.
She said, there's place cards.
No, but like, if Kyle wants to start shit, that's fine.
But like, when you're fighting with someone, you don't sit next to them.
You sit across from them.
Yeah, and also, this whole dinner was about talking to Erica, and Sutton was really the ringleader for that why is Sutton on the end
no it was the worst seating ever and like Dorit was in the seat that cut that um Sutton should
have been in and I did kind of agree the thing was like at Dorit's house like no one was really
agreeing with Sutton at first and then I think Sutton just started to convey her points and
everyone was like you know like they were being assuaged by
Sutton. She was making valid points. And then Dorit kind of got like a little
into it. And I think Sutton thought she was going into that dinner with Dorit by her
side. But Dorit, like Erica is scary. So the fact
that Sutton was even able to get across most of her points, like I had a lot of respect for,
Dorit like cr, under the pressure.
Like, she did not do a good job of saying how she felt.
Yeah, I do think for me, like, still, it's a matter of do we believe Erica or do we not?
Like, you know, if you have a really long-standing friendship with her, like, you're going to believe the best in her.
And so you're going to be by her side because that's, like, what friends do.
You're going to believe the best in her.
And so you're going to be by her side because that's like what friends do. But the fact that there really is no anger against Tom and it's like, and Garcelle was
the one who said that like, fuck Tom.
Why doesn't Erica say like, this man ruined her life, ruined all of these other like vulnerable,
innocent people's lives.
Where is the energy for Tom? And then everyone's everyone's like well of course we feel like that it's like but you never said it no and
they're like and of course it's really about the victims really because until garcelle brought it
up no one was talking about the victims dory had said it once or twice but still like that's the
whole thing here like and i i do i i don don't understand why Erica isn't taking a, like, she was already divorcing the man.
So it's not like this love of her life is now in a hard spot.
Yeah, she, like, refuses to, like, speak ill of him.
And honestly, the most shocking part of the episode was that Garcelle's sister has, like, had an experience with, like, a shy settlement lawyer.
Yeah.
Which is just so crazy and like i
totally understand her position but honestly like the episode was infuriating for two reasons
one because like erica was like so offended by these questions when there's such rational things
to ask like we're around a person who very possibly could have ruined the lives of widows
and orphans and we're not allowed to ask questions, and if we do, we're the bad guy.
She was so defensive and so outraged that these questions were even coming her way
when they're so valid.
So I just thought her attitude sucked.
And by the way, there's no way Lisa Rinna did not tell Erica Jane what she was walking into.
She 100% knew when she was driving up in the car, she took a deep breath.
She fucking knew.
100% I had the same thought and
also I've read like from people sending me and stuff that Erica is an investor in Rinna Beauty
yes I heard that too that that's just like I haven't looked into it myself but that's not
people's theory they say that this is just fact and it's known and you can go find it out but
again I haven't checked for myself so like it's, like, some of the widows and orphans money.
Lisa Rinna has a lot to lose if Erica goes down.
So it behooves Rinna to maintain Erica's innocence.
Of course.
But she was being so fucking annoying, chiming in.
Like, we all love Erica.
Like, I love how Garcelle was like, it's not a competition.
Like, Garcelle is so fucking on point and honestly like
i respect like crystal for not saying literally anything at the meal because like and the thing
is like the fact that erica's so offended by like sutton and garcelle questioning her when like they
don't know her they've known her for one year what do they owe you like all these atrocious arguments
are coming out i've known you for a year, and I'm just supposed to, like, stand by you without asking a single question?
Yeah.
It's just preposterous.
Lisa Rinna was bothering me so much.
As always.
Of course.
She is, like, an Erika stan, so we knew she was going to take Erika's side.
I have seen that Rinna beauty thing, and, like, it's crazy to think about, like, oh, and so the real question here is where did the $20 million come from?
What was it supposed to be for?
And that's what Sutton said.
At the end of the day, the thing linking you to all of this is this $20 million deposit.
Where's it from?
And she's like, I know.
That's the question.
No, it's like, no, answer.
We need you to answer it.
The question is for you.
No, I guess her argument is that she didn't go into her own LLC.
She didn't run the money there, like that Tom ran all of that stuff.
See, I don't really buy that.
If he was moving money from one account to the other, like, she wouldn't know.
I don't really buy that, that he started her LLC for her.
No, but I just really appreciate that because, one, I feel like, you know, she's up to speed.
Someone has to be you know the
fact that kyle didn't even read the article like what are you so come on like the like it's really
whatever the fact that sudden is so up to speed and has the right questions to ask but also is
like and she said the same thing that we said which which is like it's possible that erica
didn't know anything it It's very possible.
But Erica is so smart.
Clug.
You know, she's the smartest girl in that cast, I think.
Yep.
So how can you be so in the dark?
So of course Sutton is skeptical.
We are all skeptical.
Right.
But I do think Kyle kind of verbalized it perfectly because I shared this conversation with Erica where Erica was like, you know, it's crazy how fast people
leave your lives when things get hard. And Kyle
was like, that's not me.
I'm here for you. And of course that was before
they knew
the real, like the depth
of the allegations, the widows and orphans. And Kyle was
like, of course, I don't want to be that type of person, but
that's if you're getting divorced or if you're
being sued. You lost your money.
It's not about widows and orphans.
That's where it takes on it.
And all these women want to be here for Erica unless she knew.
And she didn't even outright say.
She wasn't even convincing.
I didn't know, you know?
Right.
So I left the episode with a kind of bad taste in my mouth about Erica.
And I just, even if she didn't know,
I think that her getting so visibly offended and upset at the women questioning her is so unreasonable because they
were not asking anything that was really that crazy. Yeah. And also like the fact that there's
this weird protection of Tom. Yes. I find to be extremely sus. I also was just disappointed in Doreen. Like, take
aside. Don't be, like, flapping your mouth
to Sutton and then, like, be spineless in front of Erica.
And also, Lisa Rinna,
she's so annoying. I know what you're gonna say.
When she said that Sutton left her
spine at home. Right, which is actually the opposite.
Sutton was standing up to Erica, who's just, like,
you know, a heavy hitter in the cast. She's very
popular in the cast. She's been on for longer.
People loved her before all this. Like, she like so sudden actually is sudden is the weak link
of the cast so awkward i thought sutton did a great job i actually thought she had a very spineful
very very spineful i totally agree and also i sent you the funniest tweet where it's like
someone said like lisa renner really thought she did something when she said princesses worry about their reputations.
Queens don't.
What the fuck does that mean?
It means nothing.
And by the way, Sutton is from the South.
She's on all these like fancy boards and charities.
Like, of course, that's the type of thing like you get kicked off of one of those fancy things for like being involved in something like this.
And I don't think she's being selfish at all for worrying about her reputation like she's a
public figure now she's involved in all these causes like who the fuck would want to be attached
to widows and orphans yeah like the the allegations are so atrocious it's not just like we don't want
to be a part of this stain like right like when I mean I don't even not to like even think
about which one which allegation is the worst right but like I mean you think of each one
individually and it's so bad so I just there's really no energy for that though it seems yeah
no like they're all just just worried about the wrong thing.
They're all worried about offending Erica when it's not about Erica.
If they're going to come off as good friends or not.
Right.
And let's say all this blows past.
And Erica, for a time, was the most successful from the show.
She was in Vogue.
She was doing Neiman Marcus partnership.
She had her own cosmetic line, her own shoe line.
So I think they're thinking long term, she'll probably bounce back to that that and if she's the most famous most popular she's DJ and Coachella
everyone loves her and she hates me because she remembers that I wasn't there for her like
what is that something I want to do so I just feel like they're all have their priorities all
fucked up yeah I agree with that but not Sutton Garcelle or Crystal. No. And I'm, I wish Kathy would have chimed in more because she's just so interesting.
Or Kathy.
She's so interesting.
Like I love everything that, no, no, no.
I was just echoing what you said.
She's so interesting.
I thought you said or Kathy.
I'm like.
Everything that she said was so on point.
Like she, she really added a lot of value.
She's very wise and people respect what she says.
Yeah, yeah.
And you can tell she's got her eye on Erica.
And she's having a gorilla.
No, when she was like last week,
everyone was like, I've known her five years,
I've known her three years.
Kathy's like, I don't know her.
Dead.
No, Kathy's very, she's like silly, hunky-dory,
but there's pearls of wisdom in there.
She's shrewd.
Yes.
So that's the TV recap.
Okay, well, my AirPods are going to die.
So that's that on that.
Okay.
Well, did you want to talk about Siesta Key?
I need to do, I need to have, I need full AirPods for this.
Okay, well, we'll recap it tomorrow.
Well, I guess I could, like, keep talking until my AirPods are out.
Okay, go. You just go, because I haven't, could, like, keep talking until my AirPods are out. Okay, go.
You just go, because I haven't, well, I'm so behind, so you catch me up.
Okay, so I just watched the last two episodes, season finale, the launch of JMP the label,
and then they had a reunion, like, a Housewives-style reunion.
Oh, Rachel Lindsay.
By Rachel Lindsay.
Yeah.
So, in general, I like the fact that there was a reunion.
It was nice to see the gang back together, like talking in real time.
But I thought that the format like wasn't great.
And the questions like it,
they were treating it more like therapy than,
um,
a reunion.
Yeah.
And everything was like,
and how did that make you feel?
And where do you feel now?
And it was just like,
uh,
the questions were a little random,
but we got to,
you know,
they asked about the big stuff so Kelsey and Juliet like still
not friends but I think they're like on their way to something better Sam and Juliet were like fine
at their reunion she walked off for a second because she was like really emotional and he
went with her and like she was like I'm gonna quit the show and she said at one point she was like
it she said something really interesting that of course like nobody followed up on but she was like
when they were talking about when she hit Kelsey and like how she got to that
place,
whatever,
she was just like crying.
She got really upset.
She's like,
it's so hard to be on a TV show.
And I'm sure like everyone was playing tiny violins for her.
She was like,
it's so hard being on a TV show.
And sometimes I can't say no.
And I was just thinking like,
say no to what?
And I feel like she's talking about alcohol in addition to like producer um involvement and like pressure I feel like
yeah and of course no one wants to blame their behavior on being drunk but like she was so drunk
that night and I don't know I just if I ever got a chance to um speak with her I would definitely
follow up like push on that point yeah and then like she got really upset after that and walked
off and was like I want to quit this show and i really think that this show it's such a blessing and a curse for
all for everyone who does reality tv but like it must be so it must be such a mind especially when
it's one of these shows like kind of like vanderpump rules it's like so drinking is such
an integral part of it like you're really not interesting unless you're like getting fucked
up and doing something crazy yeah um other notable
highlights uh Cara was there looking so sick I mean everybody looked so stunning but Cara she I
followed her on Instagram last night because like the look was that good and I was like I've got to
see what else she turns out on the daily you know and she's just like so she's such a good head on
her shoulders and like I she's back in with the group now, which I'm happy about.
So I'm looking forward to like a season where she can just be herself and not be apologizing the whole time.
And it's just like crazy that she used to date Garrett, who's like, I couldn't think of two more opposite.
I couldn't think of two more opposite people.
I feel that.
What else happened?
Madison and Ish are pregnant, which we had spoke about, which is really, really cute.
It's crazy.
Like the turn
Madison's life took is just not what I would have expected at all no I know but she's really like
such a queen and she's like always the one who's like always friends with everyone and just the
voice of reason and she's she's really great so I'm pregnant on the show or no she okay so at the
the season finale the last five minutes like she brings
ish a cake that says we're pregnant but I think that was filmed like months after everything else
and then she told them she brought up at the reunion and like everyone was so excited she
told them for the first time at the reunion unclear got it got it made it seem like it was
the first time it definitely wasn't well you know what I just feel good that like this was the first
season without Alex Campo and I think everyone thought like the show revolved around him when like it
so did not yeah and so I just like really right now I'm thinking of Sam and Juliet and I just
need to know what happened so um if anybody knows anything just like please let me know for like my
own peace of mind is this for the best maybe it's for the best and I can I can live with that but I
just feel like he was so cute he was always so supportive oh my god Juliet had her um bikini
launch party and she gave a speech and Sam put on the whole party like with all these cool
activations and everything and she gave like the worst speech ever where she um cringely
congratulated Kelsey they were like not speaking they not, they were in bad place. And Julia
was like so excited to launch her label. She's like, I also like, I know how hard it is to launch
a bikini brand. Like Kelsey, like just want to congratulate you too for doing it. Like, you know,
and I, I believe her heart was in the right place, but like Kelsey was like really like
offended by it. Cause like, she barely wanted to be like seen at the party. She was just like
trying to like slip into the background. And then like Madison was like, look around,
wanted to be like seen at the party she was just like trying to like slip into the background and then like madison was like look around like look what you built and like you're it feels like you're
like you like i think juliet thought she was being magnanimous but it just looked like she was sort
of gloating yeah you know and then in her speech she didn't even thank sam who put on the whole
party and then afterwards she was like oh my god sam i forgot to thank you like i'm i thank you so
much and he was like i don't do it for thanks, I forgot to thank you. Like, thank you so much.
And he was like, I don't do it for things.
It's okay.
And they were so cute.
And I was just like, how are they not together?
Maybe they'll get back together.
I don't know.
Like, crazier things have happened.
It's not a divorce.
Crazier things have happened.
But, like, they've been a little messy on social media.
And I do feel like that's.
It's a terrible sign.
You can't take it back is the problem.
Yeah.
