Good morning, millennials. Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy hump... Yeah, right? Yeah. It's Wednesday. Hump Day! Wow, thank you.

I know it's confusing. Is it hump day? Is it not? Dew's not here. Brew's not here. You can't tell what day it is. But it is hump day. For a moment, I thought it might be Thursday.

Yeah, I'm just all, like, confused because we are doing four shows this week and it just doesn't feel like a Wednesday. I don't know. I understand. They say Mercury's. No they do say Mercury's in retrograde. Mercury. Mercury. Mercury. Mercury. Mercury is in retrograde. I don't subscribe to this. Me neither. It's just an excuse for bad behavior. It's just an excuse to be a mess. Yeah like oh sorry mercury's in retrograde sorry i'm late like clean your room no you're just late it's not mercury's fault so i don't really believe in that shit but no get your shit together maybe that's why we can't decide what day it is no no we decided like really quickly mercury was no longer in the room yeah i'm

just not into all these horoscopes like oh i'm such a Sagittarius you know like no you're just annoying what's so funny is I was talking to my friends about horoscopes and we were trying to figure out what horoscope like the baby will be and I was like well since it's a boy it doesn't matter because he doesn't give a shit no totally it's girly tings and I just want to say like if anybody ever comes up to me and is like oh oh my, your baby's due in June. It's going to be a Gemini. Leave my home. No, that's like what people say.

It's like. It's when's your baby due? What's the gender horoscope analysis? I just don't believe that. And I know this is like hella offensive. I just feel like if you're looking into your, you know and your moon charts like you need to start doing other things like if you're looking for like a solution to your problems you're looking for it's not in your horoscope no if you're looking for answers in the horoscope you need to go find the

answers elsewhere yeah I would agree sorry to everyone that we're offending so early in the morning you know what and so you know early at the beginning of the show yeah we're just you know feeling offensive yesterday was a celiacs, the horoscopes. Monday was a celiac. Monday was a celiac. Did we offend anyone yesterday? I didn't see anything. Me neither. Oh, I guess technically, like if you were an Angelina Jolie stan who watched yesterday's episode, you wouldn't have been too pleased with us. Things happen, you guys. And the good thing is that I don't think any of those people exist. So I don't think either i have not met one um okay so we have a great show for you guys today it's wednesday vanderpump rules premiered last night which was like an outer body experience

like honestly so much time has passed yeah i felt like i didn't even know these people at all i have so many thoughts it was a strange experience it was right um so we'll be recapping that in the tv recap and i watched the downton abbey movie last night that i want to say for the tv recap because i don't want to spoil anything but i had a an experience while watching it i'll say that okay i'm really excited to hear even though i know but like i'm excited to to discuss also it's 10 45 do not let me forget at 11 o'clock on the dot that I have to order us lunch. The place we want opens and like, it's just important. So don't let me forget. We are recording another podcast after this for our Patreon channel. So if you guys remember a few

weeks ago, we had a Dear Toasters about a woman whose husband was like always leaving a mess around the house. And it was really, it was really upsetting. Traum upsetting traumatizing and it sort of turned into this conversation about things our husbands do that annoy us and you guys were just like dying over everything so we are doing a patreon episode all about things our husbands do that annoy us we got a lot of submissions from you guys about things your partners do and so we're just gonna like swap stories yeah you know what by the way i was shook because like we wrote a prompt in our facebook group like if you have a significant other who does something fucking annoying, like drop a comment. First of all, 600 comments so far when I checked this morning. So I just love how we can all agree on that.

Yeah. And when I was reading through, I didn't want to read through a lot because I really want to be surprised when we record. I had, I couldn't relate to some of these people's problems at all. There are definitely universal universal like significant other problems that everyone comes across like dishes can you take the trash out I mean now but then people were coming up with some random shit that like their boyfriends girlfriends husbands wives do and I was like can't relate yeah there was some stuff that I was like oh I'm so glad that that's like not something that I'm dealing with but we're gonna get through it all and you know have a little laugh I left my house last night, which was just like, I got to stop doing that. I had a great time.

You do it all the time. I know, but like weeknights are supposed to be relaxing. Like I feel like the way people treat their weekends is how I treat my weekdays. Like I recharge on the weekdays. Like I work, I feel productive. I get my manicures, I watch TV. And then when the weekend comes, like the weekdays are my break from the weekends, if that makes sense. Okay. So it's just been, like, you know, everyone's back in the city post-summer, post-COVID.

Like, so many things going on. I've got to catch up with so many peeps. And honestly, I just can't do it anymore. Even though I'm not saying I had an amazing time. I went to dinner with Remy Bader and we had the best time. But, like, I'm just exhausted today. I'm exhausted for you I know gotta switch to a three-day weekend yeah that would solve all the problems I'm giving up hope

on it no Jackie you can't I am and I'm also not convinced that that's the right way to move forward as a society who are you I don't I just, it's five days for a reason, you know? No, I really think like if we switch to a four-day week, three-day weekend, like so many things would be different. Like I just feel it. I just feel like at least right now, we already don't have enough structure. You're talking about me and you?

No, no, no. As a society. What do you mean? Like we just don't have enough structure. Everyone's working from home. Like the weekdays bleed into the weekends, you know. And if we go to a 4-3 ratio that just like would disintegrate further. You never know. It maybe it could possibly have an adverse effect. Like four days we're out here. We're killing it. We're making our coin. We're getting things done.

That's very possible. That's very possible. Because I'm just saying that's a possibility. Yeah. I mean I'm open to whatever but I'm just it's not as.. Yeah. I mean, I'm open to whatever, but I'm just, it's not as. I just can't believe you're saying this when literally one of the founding principles of this show is our belief in the four day work week. I know, but it's like not as important to me as it once was. And as someone once pointed out that a four day work week starts with four day childcare, which means the kids are only in school for four days a week. And I'm sorry, they need that fifth day.

No, you know what? They need that fifth day. I am like a firm believer in education being a farce oh I agree but they need to they need like schooling they need daycare you know what goes on at school no learning bullying I just think schools are fucking toxic honestly and I cannot recall one thing I've learned even if you decide to homeschool there needs to be five days of schooling I really can't recall one thing I've learned. Even if you decide to homeschool, there needs to be five days of schooling. I really can't recall one thing I've learned past the age of like fifth grade that I find valuable. Like fifth grade, up until then you learn how to read, write, basic math.

Like that shit's important. But like why was I learning about like, I don't know, like neutrons when I've never used a neutron neutron or a proton proton in my life like that seems like a waste of time to me I don't know it's interesting to know like what the world around me is made up of yeah but so I still don't know what it is but you do neutrons protons atoms what are? They're things that make up mass. Like, is this a proton? No. It's not? Is, like, that a proton? Okay, here's a better question. This is probably the dumbest conversation. Okay, where are the atoms? They're in the atmosphere. Oh, they're, like, here. Atmosphere. They're here?

Mm-hmm. Is this made of atoms? I'm not a scientist. I can't tell you. See, that's what I'm saying. We spent all this time on like protons, neutrons, electrons, and we still don't know what the fuck it is. You sound pretty well-versed, electrons. Well, so you know, the protons are positively charged.

Look at her. The neutrons are neutrally charged. Electrons, negative. Look at her. The neutrons are neutrally charged. Electrons, negative. Look at you. Yeah. No, all I'm saying is like the four-day work week works and you poking holes in it is not the kind of support we need on our side right now. I'm never gonna be like on the other side of, you know, the picketing saying I want a five-day work week. Yeah, you're gonna be on the other side of the street saying I want a six-day work week. No, but I just don't know if I'm showing up for the protest for four days anymore.

Oh, I really believe in it. I think I no longer have a horse in this race. That's disgusting, honestly. Like, you live in, like, things change. How could you do this to me? Things change. Question mark. Priorities change.

Well, for those who still are championing the four day work week, I see you and I stand with you. I'm like against the four-day work week. It's just become less important. I've moved on and it's not happening. And so I need to move on. I actually just don't agree with that. Like we are moving forward.

Okay. And I support your support for it. It's honestly disgusting. That I'm so supportive? It's disgusting, Jackie. Disgusting. I'm sorry, guys. And there's been a lot of studies that people like four day work weeks can lead to more productivity. And if we

go in four day work week direction, I will still be thrilled, but I'm just moving on from it in terms of like waiting for it. It's like waiting for rain in the drought. And I just need to start hoping for other things. I feel that for sure. That's really what I meant. I didn't mean anything nefarious. Okay, by the way, I 100% hear you because it's never going to happen. Okay, thank you. So like it's annoying,

but like I still believe in it 100% as do you, but like the waiting is definitely becoming annoying. Okay, great. I'm so glad we like worked through that. Like we had a low point with the protons and then we got back because that was an important distinction. Yeah, no, that's all I meant. Like we had a low point with the protons and then we got back because that was an important

distinction. Yeah. No, that's all I meant. Like I really wasn't trying to like upend the whole show and say like I take back everything I ever said. Yeah. And just like, like take a dump on our core principles and values. Yeah.

No, no, no. I wasn't trying to take a dump on them. By the way, as much as we say like the four day work week is such an integral part of this business, we actually don't even have the four-day work week. But this week we do. This week we do. This week we stand in solidarity. Yes, we do. So we have an amazing show as usual and I just feel like it's time to get into it. There's some mindless news. There's some mindful news. Yeah, it's a nice mix. We love to see it. And without further ado, thinking of him on hump day,

it is time for the fast-tie 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 Brutadouche. Brutadouche. Bruch, the best electric toothbrush on the market. Not only does it work so fabulously, it is also very affordable because a lot of electric toothbrushes are out here charging over $200, which in my opinion is just unreasonable. And Bruch agrees.

amazing electric toothbrush that comes with six unique modes to customize your brushing experience. The battery life lasts four weeks and it comes with a magnetic charging stand, compact travel case, and they offer a subscription program.

He ended his relationship with Jessica Bolin,

but the couple called it quits. He ended his season with Jessica Bolin, but they called it quits one month later. He is now engaged to model Emily Fardo, who he began dating in 2017. This isn't his first time hosting for ABC. He previously hosted the network's dating series, The Proposal, in 2018.

Oh my God, right! As well as The Ultimate Surfer this summer. So this is really interesting. Let me tell you why. One, because what I would think, like who eventually is going to replace Chris Harrison, Jesse Palmer never crossed my mind when it's such an obvious answer.

I'm like so shocked because it's so obvious. So if you don't know, Jesse Palmer is the host of Daily Mail TV. So he's actually like a certified bonafide host. A professional host. That's what, you know, that's on his LinkedIn. He's connected to the franchise. Yes. He's been like a certified bona fide host. A professional host. That's what, you know, that's on his LinkedIn. He's connected to the franchise. Yes.

He's been The Bachelor. He's very handsome. And he was hosting these ancillary series for ABC. How did we not think of this? No, I can't believe it ever crossed my mind because it's so obvious. Yeah. And I feel like there's something really interesting going on here because there's like two, in my opinion, Bachelor Nation is comprised of two people, two groups of people.

The first group is like people who've been watching since day one, like we watched in high school, like we have seen Jesse Palmer. They were obsessed with like, what's that bachelorette's name with the D? D'Andra? Yeah, like someone like that. You know, like they were just obsessed from day one. They like know. And that tends to be like an older crowd because the show has been on for so long.

And then the second group of people is people who recently started watching because all these contestants become influencers and it's like a gen z the snatcher yes so the second group this gen z crew has no fucking idea who jesse palmer is like i was reading our comments on instagram like people were like i'm sorry to this man who is this man and then this like og bachelor nation crew are obsessed like this is the best thing that ever happened to them and they're the people who feel like Chris Harrison was so wronged and they want him back and I think that this choice of Jesse Palmer like really satiated this group of people I think that it has the potential to satiate both groups of people I actually am very curious to hear what the snatcher thinks because I would say that she's a spokesperson

for group number two yes of course and she's dropping her new episode tomorrow so I'm sure we'll get her thoughts on this and she probably does not know who Jesse Palmer is but I think that just his hosting chops will speak for himself I think that he's a good choice because he is a host he will show up to the show and it won't be about him and that's what it's meant to be to be a host and so I not a lot of people wanted Wells but like Wells then it's about Wells you know you know what I think Wells could have done like a similar job in not making it about him about himself but if I'm choosing between Wells and Jesse Palmer I'm going with Jesse Palmer this is a more serious choice it's a serious job like Chris Harrison took it very seriously and it's the Bachelor saying

like okay we are making changes but not that many changes like this is still it's not going to be you know a rotating cast of former Bachelor Bacheloret is still, it's not going to be, you know, a rotating cast of former Bachelor, Bachelorette, exactly, like, it's still going to be the show with the host and the contestants. As it should be, in my opinion. Like, as much as I love, like, you know, seeing all these celebrities get involved in Bachelor in Paradise, it's very confusing.

And the point of a host, and what Chris Harrison was very good at, was being this, like, stable figure in the show. I know a lot of the like lead contestants relied on him a lot like behind the scenes. And you could feel that he was this like paternal energy. And I definitely feel as though that's missing. Yeah.

Like that stability. And I think Tayshia and Caitlin did an amazing job, but they are not hosts. They really were more there as like friends. They weren't like hosting the show that's what they said too and so I think that like if this just signals that you know the bachelor is going back to being the bachelor and then the bachelor in paradise is the fun one still so is Jesse Palmer not hosting bachelor in paradise I assume like it's a one one job man

does the whole job I would think he's doing bachelor in paradise but like they do all these extracurricular things on Bachelor in Paradise, whether it's, even when Chris Harrison was the host, like they would bring in all these different elements.

So, they're saying The Bachelor will go back to being The Bachelor. I just like feel stupid for never once putting Jesse Palmer's name

into the ring. Like, it's so obvious. Beyond stupid. We were just talking about him because I said I sent him at the US Open. Yeah. And by the way, he's very he's very handsome yeah no i think that this is a really good choice i think he is up to the task me too and i look forward to seeing if i ever watch again

what he brings to the table do you think that like when i was sitting next to him at the u.s open like he knew he was about to be the next bad they do things so fast at abc like you but like also i he definitely had already received the initial email they do things so fast at abc like you but like also i he definitely had already received the initial email of you know we'd like to test you for initial offer yeah you know like he knew his name was in the ring yeah i wish he would have told me like i feel when i saw the news i was like duh like it was i felt so dumb especially since he hosted the proposal and we've spoken about we actually talk about him all the time. No, we're just, I think everybody missed it.

Everybody. I think there were so many predictions floating around, and I honestly never saw his name in the mix. Not once. If only it was this easy to do, Wheel of Jeopardy, replacement host. What happened with that?

What did they end up doing? They're still like, rotating, figuring it out. they don't have a jesse palmer just waiting no in the wings and that's that sucks that does that's tough oh it's 10 59 okay don't let me forget to order ordering lunch because we need to fuel up in between podcasts oh my god wait hold on it's not 11 o'clock yet just like won't let me add the salad and the ice cream well then what are we doing

did you want a fountain soda i got you one i'm good with water thank you yeah yeah yeah i'm good it's weird flex like unless it's gonna be a burger king found soda because you can't have so much caffeine when you're pregnant oh right and i already do one espresso every day forget that you're pregnant you really don't complain as much as you should that means a lot to me thank you i maybe zach would disagree no no no he really wouldn't i just want to just you know be the same girl i've always been big belly yeah no you're just like you know you are you're the same girl you've always been with just like a little sprinkle of like a chessie energy you i didn't say you looked like chessie she's like a very maternal figure and she does like chili and she makes it great

okay and now it's 11 o'clock okay so it's not available right now okay give it a minute okay yeah i quit the app just sorry guys i guess i could share our next story but you'll only be half listening even though it's not really a story more so a series of photos and um it's here what topping did you want on peanut butter oreos reeses or oreos yeah i found the oreos first great okay and then the chopped salad no chicken no chicken no roasted peppers okay you can continue okay well the next story is more so a series of photos and it just um i think it's it's it's an important story okay should I get myself an ice cream too yeah we could split we split last time I know but like I don't like peanut butter okay just ignore me

okay now I'm done let me make sure I send it to the right address because I'm always sending our work lunch to my house it's a scheme I do just so I could have food in my house I don't have to pay for um try it by the way you guys if you are using Uber Eats and you're not doing the priority delivery for an extra 99 cents like you ain't living this is not an ad by the way this feels like a really amazing ad a really native ad for Uber Eats but no we're just a couple of hungry gals expansive okay you're gonna have to move fast you can continue we're in the middle of something. You can continue. Fine.

Daniel Craig and stars hit the red carpet. Who's Daniel Craig? Why does that sound familiar? James Bond. Oh, right. For No Time to Die, world premiere, finally premiered. This movie has been just like, I would say, the symbol of the coronavirus pandemic. Why do you say that?

Because it was the first movie to be pushed due to COVID. I thought that was A Quiet Place. That's how you, I guess that was it for you. But A Quiet Place at least had their premiere. They're having their premiere now. This movie was supposed to come out in like April, I think. And they pushed it early on. They kept pushing it.

Now 18 months later, it's finally here. So it's, and there was so much, like the songs already came out, but the movie hadn't come out. Oh, Billie Eilish did the song, right? Billie Eilish did the song. So Daniel Craig and his fellow stars finally hit the red carpet.

And it was like, it was a swanky affair. Plus- Were Will and Kate at this affair? Will, Kate, and Charles and Camilla were there. Charles and Camilla? Yes, and it was very much a royal affair. And it also took place at Royal Albert Hall. So there was just so much happening.

Kate looked amazing in that dress. She looked amazing. I feel like the royal family hasn't had a royal moment in two years. And they're making up for it in spades. This was a gorgeous gown, a gorgeous evening, a royal affair. A royal affair. And I think it's a sign, you know, I'm glad that the movie's finally here. How much longer could they push it off?

Right. And I'm happy for everyone about, like, Anna de Armas is in it. Oh, wow. You know, but she was, it was supposed to come out, like, she was, like, peaking. Right, do you ever feel like there are certain people who the COVID ruined their careers? Yeah, I have a few people few people I think and I think of Anna de Armas like that like she was so hot and heavy. Ben Affleck coming off of Knives Out like biggest model and actress in the world.

Everyone wanted her on their billboards. Everyone wanted her in their movie and now I just like kind of forgot about her. Yeah but I think that you could say that about anyone who was sort of popping off. At the time. At that time but I think a lot of people made the most of it and it didn't ruin their careers you know yes but there's just a few people who come to mind yes but I would have thought that about like Addison and Charlie no because even though what they do is digital but like they were just like becoming big celebrities and then they like missed a year and a half of like real celebrity things like red carpets and no I totally disagree I think that like if it weren't for COVID, I don't know if they would have been as big of a stars as they are now. Like people were just so bored and like when they were

blowing up, everyone was like, I don't understand why they're blowing up. And they were like, I don't understand why we're blowing up. And it was literally just because nobody had anything else to do. So I actually think like COVID was the catalyst for their fame that's what i think the way i remember it is like they blew up right before covid but i do think i guess everybody they went from being like just tiktok famous to like now everybody's on tiktok and like them being a list yeah so i think but also their careers are much more digital which is easy and armistice needs to wait for her movies to come out right i don't even think she has an Instagram. I think she does.

She just gives me the vibe that like she would not want it. Most like movie stars don't. So there's this Netflix movie coming out like with everyone. You know, Jonah Hill, Jennifer Lawrence,

Leonardo DiCaprio. Have you seen the trailer? I think I heard about Jennifer Lawrence and Leo. I think we should just all talk about how the movie looks atrocious. Like Meryl Streep is in it. I watched the trailer. Like heard about Jennifer Lawrence and Leo. I think we should just all talk about how the movie looks atrocious. Like, Meryl Streep is in it. I watched a trailer.

Like, Leo and Jennifer Lawrence are, like, these nerdy scientists who, like, have to alert the president that there's, like, an asteroid coming. And, like, Meryl Streep, the president, like, doesn't want to believe it. It looks so stupid. Like, I was actually really surprised. Are you going to watch it? Like, probably. What else am I doing?

Okay. I finished Downton Abbey now. I have no will to live. Will you see James Bond, No Time to Die? I've only, I don't really get into the Bond movies. It's star-studded. Yeah, I know. I've seen the one that Adele, I've seen 007, Casino Royale.

That one was good. And then Adele wrote the song for Skyfall, but I don't think I saw it. I don't think I've seen one of them. Not one. They're really not for us. Did you see also Daniel Craig was like under fire because he like someone had asked him like, you know, eventually he's not going to be able to be Bond anymore. And people.

I think this is his last Bond. They say that every time. No, I think this is really his last Bond, but they haven't. And it's going to be a while before we get our new Bond. Right. And so there are always these classic names thrown in the ring like Idris Elba. But someone had asked him like if, you know, what would he think about a mrs like a jamie bond you know and he like went off being like no and honestly like i kind of feel that like

just make an okay like just make another movie with like a female spy like this is james bond like it's like it has like leave it alone, you know? I hear you. Jemay Bond. Unless it's... It's Jemay Bond and she fights crime in Australia. Unless it's Jemay Bond, I don't want it. And Kwame is her sidekick. By the way, I could literally talk for hours just about Jemay.

No, I agree. And that's the only way we are getting a female Bond. And by the way, you know when you discover something early or you discover a TV show or an artist early, you feel really proud? So Jemay is an Australian show.

She's a private school girl. That is such a good point. She is a private school girl. And Jemay was a show in Australia. And I think they took the first season of Jemay and played it on primetime on HBO for one season. And nobody watched it in America. But I did.

And, like, I feel like I'm an investor in Jemay. Like, I feel like I invented her. I dressed up as Jemay. That's my favorite story about Claudia. So, Jemay premiered. And, no, she was a character on Summer High Tie. And then she got her own spin-off. Yeah, she got her spin-off.

So, people were familiar with Jemay, but it's definitely extremely niche. Very, especially in America. She's huge in Australia. So for Halloween 2014, Claudia dressed up as Jemay, private school girl, and we went to a party. By the way, it was a good costume, right? Like, just execution wise. Yeah, yeah.

I looked like Jemay. Yeah, you were wearing like her school uniform. And you have the same hair color, and you- a side part and i just walked around i was like you're such a fucking bitch right but like nobody fucking knew what claudia wasn't just looked like she was wearing a nightgown honestly it was honestly embarrassing especially because the party we went to like i was an intern and jackie was a full-time employee at work it was a work event event yeah and nobody knew that was embarrassing that was like yeah that's the worst thing that could happen with your costume especially if like you're you committed to a

look that like you're not feeling yourself yeah I felt that way when Ben and I dressed up as DJ Khaled and his son and like nobody knew who we were and it was just like stupid yeah that sounds stupid we were just like trying to be like viral because like DJ Khaled was like 2017 like DJ Khaled was like yeah snapchat king Khaled was like. Yeah. Snapchat king. In hindsight, that sounds like not a good idea. They can't all be winners. I'm sorry.

No. We've had some amazing. When we dressed up as Dr. Phil and Danielle Bregoli, that was fabulous. Except like I went to a party and someone else was dressed up as Danielle Bregoli and like she did it better. But whatever. As a unit, she didn't have a boyfriend. So like me and Ben were perfect together.

And then we also did Blac Chyna and Rob, which I think is our best work that's good what about you what's your best halloween costume moira what would you say moira moira was really good honestly no offense like i crush it on with halloween it's been a while and like i've lost some steam because also i have nowhere to go usually and by the way halloween and this past year i was invited to a party and zach and i were like we'll go so that we can dress up and we just wound up dressing up taking pictures and then kayla came over and that was that sounds so fun that was enough for me by the way i'm seeing kayla literally in like 30 hours i know my best costumes though where do i begin i mean someone reminded me yesterday of not including this no not these are the best ones

of course they're a whole performance and we are working on something so good for this year. We are. And we're going to vlog it so you guys can like get through the process, understand the process and our thought process. So someone reminded me yesterday, Angelina Jolie plays Maleficent. That's why you think she's a witch. Yes. And I once dressed as Maleficent, crushed it.

That was really good. Once dressed as Chanel from Scream Queens. Cute. Crushed it. Once dressed as a cheerio from glee oh that was your best in my opinion so cute um i have to go through my timeline but i used to really get into it i used to go hard oh riverdale and i i dressed as shower blossom and and zach Zach was Oh that's cute. Zach and I also did Jesse and Woody from Toy Story.

That's a little basic. But it was a good execution. I was feeling my look. By the way honestly it's so much easier to put together like a fire costume

when you have a husband or a boyfriend like to play along with you. He was a Dallas Cowboys football player. I was a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. So cute.

That was really really cute. Very Kacey Mus Cowboys cheerleader. So cute. That was really, really cute. Very Kacey Musgraves. Yeah.

So I knew it was over. And I totally forgot Steve was a gubernatorial candidate. And I wonder how it's going to affect his gubernatorial race when he doesn't have... The race is over. Oh, I guess it really affected it. Maybe they stayed together for the race. And that she could be like the governor's wife.

And like maybe that would be enough to keep them happy. And then when he lost, like she knew like I'm married to a loser and like I want out I sometimes feel like Don Don Wilson like was the one for Vicky and I know he was like mean and angry but I don't know I just feel like they could have somehow made it work I think that's like with anything, you know? They could have made it work, but they didn't want to put in the work that it would take. That sounds like a lot of work for them. Or honestly, maybe Brooks was the guy for her.

Stop. Talk about having like the worst track record of relationships of all time. Yes, but this relationship, I thought it was different, you know? Uh-oh, she's getting a phone call. Is the restaurant calling? Okay, just pick up.

Okay, hold on. Make sure our order is snatched to the gods. Anyways, an insider... Hi, how are you? Oh. An insider told E! News that Steve and Vicky had been living separately for much of the pandemic, and that Steve had been living like he was a single man in Puerto Vallarta while Vicky was still in the U.S.

Yeah, that doesn't make for a good, you know, engagement. She wants an under salad? No. No. She wants an under salad. On your salad? No. No. She wants it on salad. Other than salad tings. Thank you for calling. Obviously, your order was problematic.

Obviously, like, you didn't, like, clarify with that. No, she's just confused. Because, like, why would you pay for a big old salad when you, like, took off all the good things? When I took off the protein the yeah exactly usually I would get a scoop and she was trying to be nice because like you're paying for it like why don't you get something else okay usually I would get a scoop of tuna but sometimes they put it on top of the salad and then in transit it just becomes like no tuna doesn't travel well and like I'm not technically supposed to eat tuna while pregnant but I had it once and I would have it again if

it was good quality tuna they also have egg salad but on a salad I guess that's gross I actually like egg salad do you want to call her no no no I'm not in the mood right it's too early it's not even noon so that's why I don't want tuna right now if we were eating at the restaurant I would have gotten it of course that's what things change at the restaurant things change but you have to think of the transport you know what I wanted to tell her because I love this place but they do one thing that really bothers me, especially in transit, but also in the restaurant. So they always get a wrap,

and they put the wrap in, like, the plastic container with a pickle. And so when you open it up, like, the pickle is just, like, fragrant everywhere, and your whole wrap smells like pickle, and, like, the juice of the pickle. It's contaminated. It is. Because, fuck, I should have said no pickle. Damn.

Or pickle on the side so you could eat it. Yeah. I'm sorry. That's annoying. fuck I should have said no pickle damn or pickle on the side so you could eat it yeah that's annoying our next story Khloe Kardashian responds to fan asking if she was banned from the Met Gala what did she say she said that is absolutely not true on Tuesday a fan asked the good American founder to clarify speculation that she hasn't been asked to attend there had also been gossip circling that Khloe had been banned from the event. Apparently, E! News reported that. I did not hear that.

Me neither. So the fan wrote, Khloe, now that you're online, please tell of the Met Gala rumors are true because I'll burn that dinosaur's bones at Khloe Kardashian. Please clarify. Thank you. To which she responded, absolutely not true. I mean, I don't think you can be banned from an event

if you've never been invited. Right. So I just think she's never been invited. No. And honestly, like we were just talking about this and like how she's like maybe just not highbrow enough. And ever since we started having those conversations, she's been on this like national campaign of a Candy Crush commercial. Yes. And it's like so embarrassing. I mean, she's making a lot of money, but like you just can't you can't do both. I agree. But she was in one of the commercials with Joja Cat did you see that one and they were so cute and I was thoroughly enjoyed it I know but like Joja Cat is like having this moment right

now first of all she's on every billboard like she's a new face of Pepsi yeah she has this she's always just like I don't know when she does it it's not like tacky at all like she's just right now like one of the famous famous female artists in the world. And like when you do that, you become a spokesperson for a lot of brands. Like for me, it doesn't feel weird. But when Khloe does it, it's just like, oh God, like what is Khloe doing again? I don't know why. I think it's just like being like mean and having different standards for different people.

I'm just like being honest. I don't think I'm being mean. No, I hear what you're saying. I do. Like Doja Cat is just like so like millennial. I don't know. No, I hear what you're saying. I do. Like Doja Cat is just like so like millennial. I don't know. No, I hear what you're saying. When she does a Candy Crush commercial, I'm like, yes, Doja.

And Doja Cat should have been at the Met Gala. Agreed. And that was someone who I was surprised wasn't there. Agreed. So I don't think that Candy Crush and Met Gala invitations like are mutually exclusive. I think for Khloe Kardashian they are. No, but she didn't even answer the question so she said she's not banned but did she say she's never been invited she no she just said

she's not banned right no I like the band the band is like not the real news story you can't what would she be banned for like that's stupid she didn't answer the part of the question that I really want to know like have you ever been invited if so like how does that make you feel the fan didn't ask that question oh she just said is it true that you've been banned? Oh, that's, like, so embarrassing for Khloe. I know. But at least Kourtney didn't go this time. And Kylie. Yeah, no, but Kylie's been.

Like, Kourtney has never been. So if Kourtney goes, then Khloe's the only Kardashian who's never been. But this year, those who didn't go were in the majority. Yes, yes. No, but I'm just saying, like, in the lifetime, like, Kylie's been a million times. She'll go a million times. Same with Kendall. Same with Kim. But Khloe and Kourtney have never been and so when Kourtney was in the city for the VMAs I'm like oh her and Travis are definitely going and that would have

been really sad for Khloe but now it's still Khloe and Kourtney like it's still not that sad because both of them have still never been but once one of them goes and leaves the other like then it's sad maybe they made a pact to each other like we'll never embarrass the other like that right it'll be both of us or none of us. Yeah. And Anna would be smart. And especially after, you know, the Motley Crue we saw this year. Woof.

It's a pleasure. Our fifth and final story is that Lori Loughlin has set her acting return in When Hope Calls at GAC Family. So she is actually headed back to Hallmark with a guest starring role in season two of When Hope Calls at GAC Family. Let me explain first. Yeah. Loughlin will reprise the role of Abigail Stanton.

You pronounce her name so weird, even though I know it's like the right way. It's Lori Loughlin, but continue. family let me explain first yeah Lachlan will reprise the role of Abigail Stanton pronounce her name so weird even though I know it's like the right way it's Lori Loughlin but continue Lori will reprise the role of Abigail Stanton whom she originally played in When Calls the Heart on the Hallmark Channel When Hope Calls is a spin-off series of that series it's first she was also on When Calls the Heart okay this is a lot of when calls to understand yeah right she was on when calls the heart which is the big show which is the big show on hallmark she played abigail stanton oh her character is going to another show so when calls the heart the big show got a spinoff of when home call when hope calls that is on like a different hallmark affiliated platform

the spinoff started without laurie and now she's joining the Spira spinoff in her When Calls the Heart role. Okay, okay, okay. It's first season aired on Hallmark Movies Now and Hallmark Channel, but it's moving to GAC Family for season two. I'm not sure what GAC Family is, but I'm sure I'll be downloading it at the holiday season.

This is very interesting, because I remember when we were talking about the college admissions scandal, like in its heyday, we were talking about Felicity Huffman versus Lori Loughlin and how like we think it'll have a much bigger effect on Lori Loughlin's career because Lori does home and family it's constantly hallmark lifetime like very homey family friendly stuff and that is very hard to get back into when you've been through a scandal. But she's out here working before Felicity Huffman is even. Felicity Huffman's working.

I thought I saw her in some stuff. I don't know. Let's check her IMDb. I feel like I've seen commercials. I feel like I haven't heard a word from her since she's gotten out of prison. No, I think I saw a commercial for a big show or movie. Really? Yeah.

Yeah, hold on. Well, I just want to say, believe like if you do your crime you do your time you should be able to earn a living earn a living so I agree I think that I don't have a problem with this I don't have a problem with this either and I think I think for Hallmark like starting her on this secondary show seeing how you know the fans react maybe they really missed her right I think it all sounds good. Also, the description for the show sounds... It's a very little house on the prairie, right?

Listen to this. The series is set in Brookfield, a town on the western prairie of Canada. What did I say? In season two, a Christmas festival worthy of Harper's Bazaar happens in Brookfield. Is this Modern Times? No, because I've seen it. They're always wearing, like, bonnets. Yeah, no.

It happens in Brookfield as the community is one of three contenders in the magazine search for America's number one country Christmas town. The entire town is preoccupied with creating the essence of Christmas for the photojournalist's lens, though behind the scenes residents are not living the spirit of the season. In the midst of the fuss, a stagecoach appears and out steps Abigail Stanton and her son Cody, who have brought a troubled boy to Lillian's orphanage.

Wow, chilling. Chilling stuff. So, and you know, Olivia Jade is back at work now. She's on Dancing with the Stars. Like, I do feel like everyone from this scandal is like slowly moving out of it. But I'm constantly like reading things on Twitter, like, you know, seeing what people are saying. And everyone's like, can't believe like Olivia Jade like honestly I just think it's really important to remember like nobody in this college admissions scandal like murdered anyone like the way that like

we want them all to like go in a hole and like never come out like they made a judgment error and they broke the law they paid for their crimes can we move on yeah I think they didn't hurt anyone like they didn't kill anyone yeah I'm saying like the narrative on social media no i agree i mean don't go to social media for for your their thoughts but also watching the documentary i think it was called the college admission scandal varsity blues the one that was like a dramatization a dramatization so bizarre yeah sort of changed my pov about the whole thing because yeah the most famous people were like the face of the scandal when like just these like not famous super rich people were the ones doing way worse things spending more money bribing people breaking

more laws that wasn't even what i was taking away from it which was just that the fucked up nature of the college admissions process to begin with yes it shouldn't be that hard there are all of these back doors but the side door is illegal yeah um and it's just corrupt through and through totally and then all of that corruption landed on the shoulders of Olivia Jade right and like all that corruption quote-unquote victimized Stanford or whatever school it was that they were the victims of a racketeering scandal and they're a billion dollar school and they were you know the victims who accidentally bribed seven hundred thousand dollars like what did you do with that money yeah i i agree like it wasn't exactly what it was made out to be in the press like once you watch documentaries it was in the press like it was what it was but i think

the way we first looked at it i just looked at it differently after getting the whole picture of like you know what other people do to get into college. Like, and by the way, the weirdest thing is that that guy, what was his name? The guy who did it, Rick,

Rick singer. He's still like not in jail. He's like chilling. Right. Cause he sang for his supper. Right. It's all so crazy. Anyways,

back to Felicity Hoffman. Her last thing that came out was in 2019. That's when the college admission scandal happened. And she's in pre-production on a TV series. Okay, got it. So she hasn't been in anything since then. You are correct. So Lori is out here making money moves on the Hallmark Channel.

On the Hallmark Channel. Well, that's a great segue into our TV recap segment because Vanderpump Rules was on last night. But before we dive into that, can I please tell you about the Downton Abbey movie? I mean, I already told you, but for the podcast. Yes. So you had told me. I have such bad heartburn. Like, I literally. Okay, well, bad heartburn. Like I literally. I have Tums. Okay. Well, you got them. No, sorry. I have Tums in my other purse. My big one. I'm really sorry.

It's okay. I usually just suffer through it, but I feel like a fire breathing dragon. Like. Is water supposed to help heartburn? I don't think it does anything. I always feel like it's extinguishing the fire in my chest. That's how it feels. The heartburn is so crazy. I'm so sorry. It's worse at night, but now it's like coming to me during the show. We should really keep Tums here. I always have a roll on me. I'm so sorry. No, it's not your fault. I'll run out after this and get you. I don't like love to take the Tums because I feel like they'll stop working if I take them like twice a day. Jackie, just take the Tums. Like trust me, have you ever met

Ben Soffer? He's been taking four Tums a day since he was born and he's fine and he still thinks they work like you're fine. Okay fine. Okay so the Downton Abbey movie like you had put in like a really kind of toxic negative review. Yeah. So what did you think of it? My thought was it was so good to see the gang back together. I hadn't seen them in months because I waited. I was saving the movie for a special time. I only waited two days. I wish I watched it immediately after when I was missing Downton because I would have appreciated more so I was glad to see everyone back Downton setting I love that it had this royal yes um theme but I thought the premise was just I thought it was silly I thought everything was silly I thought that this idea that the competing households

and they're like fighting over you know who's gonna do what and it's like it felt like um camp color war you know and I just felt like it was silly so that part was stupid and honestly I was really surprised at Anna Mrs. Bates like for her terrible judgment in the movie like oh we're having the distinct honor of having the royal king and queen here let's throw a prank and lock everyone in their rooms Anna is more sensible than that so I was really surprised so much sabotage the distinct honor of having the royal king and queen here let's throw a prank and lock everyone in their rooms Anna is more sensible than that so I was really surprised so much sabotage same with Carson like they are so sensible and they are such monarchists like in actuality like I know their characters so well their characters would have never like pulled the wool over the royal

staff like yes it was annoying that they didn't get to cook and serve for the royal family but like they would never have acted like such buffoons yeah and they would never would have disrespected the process like that no because they are like so respectful of the king and queen so they would have just respectful of even like in the show of service like carson wouldn't let someone serve the something the footman in the dining room like and but you're gonna usurp the royal household but i'm sorry like the best part of the movie was when like you know they going to usurp the royal household? But I'm sorry, like, the best part of the movie was when, like, you know,

they steal the thunder from the royal service. It goes off without a hitch. And of course, nobody at the meal knows the difference. Noticing that this is Mrs. Patmore's cooking and these footmen aren't royal. Like, they're just talking to each other. They're not even looking at the staff.

And Mr. Mosley, like, puts his foot in it and he's like, actually, this was the staff at Downton Abbey. Mrs. Patmore cooked. And, like, he was, like, so foot in it and he's like, actually, this was the staff at Downton Abbey. Mrs. Padmore cooked. And like it was, he was like so proud. And as he's speaking, he's realizing he should shut the fuck up. Yeah. I swear to God, that was the best part of the whole movie.

But there were some things like I wanted to move forward with. Like, obviously, Mr. Mosley really likes Baxter. And like they didn't even kiss or anything. Do you want to take back any mean things you said about Baxter? What did I say about her? I believe you called her a wench. I'm sorry. When she arrived, she had major wenchy vibes.

But I do believe people can change and Baxter is one of them. I don't take back. She was fucking wenchy as hell. Working for Thomas. And you know what? I really do appreciate the character arc of Thomas. Like I used to like literally beg for him to be fired. Just like get him off the show.

I know. But you know what? He was he's such a troubled soul. Like it's so hard to be gay in those times. And like he just knew what he was and he couldn't be himself. And I don't know. I forgave him. I did.

Oh, me too. And honestly, what he ended up doing like over the course of the show, just like being a menace, was never nearly as bad as what O'Brien did. O'Brien, her ladyship soap. O'Brien had to go if one of, if I had to choose one of them. Okay. I think I, I don't, I don't, I do not detect a lie there. her ladyship soap O'Brien had to go if I had to choose one of them okay I think I I don't

I do not detect a lie there so then there were just like other things and first of all one of the biggest flaws in Downton Abbey period from start to finish

is their energy for Daisy like why so many people it's such an ensemble cast so many people from the downstairs servants hall to the upstairs the royals so many people have come such an ensemble cast so many people from the downstairs servants hall to

the upstairs the royals so many people have come and go one of my favorites rose who was played by lily james like and you really and i didn't like about a character arc loved her mostly because she married a jew and like honestly i'm just like worried about her in the second movie because like we're slowly approaching the holocaust and i'm like she lives in america she's an embarrassment she'll be okay okay thank god yeah we're slowly approaching the holocaust and you know that like mary i feel like they're literally at the end of the last couple seasons and then with the movie they slowed time down just so they don't have to like talk about the holocaust i know and also like mary's son is gonna go to war in world war ii in world

war ii and like that's like it's like this period it's so the movie's 1927 and it's like this period. The movie's 1927 and it's like this in between. It's just like knowing what's waiting for them. In 10 years, like, totally. Not good. So, the Daisy of it all. So many characters have come and gone. Ones we loved, ones we didn't love. And the fact that they just decided from day one that Daisy was going to be like an important character. Her relationships, her attitude, her career was such a mistake.

First of all, she's the most annoying character. I fucking hate her. And the only thing going for her is like Mr. Mason and his farm. And she just like, she'd fucking move there already, especially because her new boyfriend, Andrew,

loves the farm and wants to help out with Mr. Mason. So I thought when the movie came back that Daisy, Mr. Mason, and Andrew would all be living at the farm.

And they weren't. Like she hasn't evolved in her career at all. No. And she calls herself a career woman. No, and she's obsessed with like forwarding and making a life for herself. And what has she done in the last,

she's what, how long does the show last for? It ends at 1927. Does it start at 1917? No, it started Titanic, which is 1912. 15 years.

Daisy has not made. Wait, that can't be right. I'm sorry. Right? No, but like Daisy, she didn't age 15 years.

Yeah. I mean, Titanic happened. I'm so sorry. Right? No, but like Daisy, she didn't age 15 years. Yeah, I mean. Titanic happened. I'm so sorry. I just need to like confirm this. 1912. So yeah, it's 15 years. That's a major plot hole.

That from the beginning to the end, it's 15 years. Especially because nobody really ages. Not at all. So 15 years. And the only thing she's done is got an assistant from Kitchen Maid to Kitchen Assistant. And she's supposedly like this career woman. so she was the worst part of the movie hands fucking down um but all other than that like i just loved it and i couldn't believe how there were so many negative reviews for the movie like i thought the movie was amazing i loved seeing the

gang back together it was beautifully done i loved the plot of the royals coming i thought that was just such an interesting way of doing it. Everyone was there. Branson, the assassination attempt. Like, I thought it was gorgeous. I liked the Royals being there. I just needed to confirm that it was 15 years because this hasn't dawned on me yet. And yes, it was 1927 is the movie.

1912 was the Titanic. 15 years. Okay, that's like really an issue. And there's a second movie coming out this Christmas. Oh, and then obviously the saddest part spoiler alert I'll give everyone a second oh my god is that obviously Maggie Smith is probably not going to be in the next movie because at the end of the first movie she tells Mary that she's dying and honestly I started hysterically crying on the couch like I was just

so upset and you know what like it won't be the same without her no she has this joie de vivre that I do feel like was kind of toned down in the film. Like she is getting older. She can't constantly be bringing the zingers as much as she used to. And she like, all these people want to act a fool. Like she's been telling you for 15 years how to act. If you didn't hear her, that's on you. No.

And honestly, like this whole like cycle that basically Mary is going to be the next Maggie Smith. Like it's so true. First of all, like, and second of all, like Mary is going to be the next Maggie Smith. Like it's so true. First of all, like, and second of all, like Mary is so bitchy. And like, she is the next Dowager. I was just like crying on my couch. Like it was beautiful. You know, Mary is the future of the family.

Yes. Of Downton, especially because her son will inherit. But the passing of the torch was quite beautiful. It was chilling. And I just thought it was an excellent movie. And I loved it so much. I'm so glad that you did. And I can't wait for the second one.

I can't wait for the second one. Except no Maggie Smith, probably. And we are having, what's that guy's name? The Affair. No, he's in it? Dominic West? Dominic West is in it. How do you know that?

Because I saw a trailer for the next one. And it said Dominic West. I swear West is in it. How do you know that? Because I saw a trailer for the next one and it said Dominic West. I swear. Oh, I'm going to jump off a bridge. I'm like, I don't know why I'm questioning everything that I've like once knew today. And I have to like, don't be so insecure.

No, but it's like, if I say something, I need to make sure that it was the correct thing. Don't be so insecure. Okay. Dominic West, IMDB,

Downton Abbey, a new era in post-production so who do you think he plays oh i'm sorry it comes out in 2022 why do i keep saying this christmas oh you're kidding that's wrong that's just all wrong so do you think that you are gonna go continue on this you know historical period journey no I don't think so. Okay. I mean, I watched The Crown and Downton Abbey. Like if I'm not a learned individual, then who is? All right.

No, and perfect sponsor for talking about Vanderpump Rules. pump rules so many thoughts wait sorry oh yes it would be sorry i wasn't listening yes no and perfect sponsor like for talking about vanderpump rules my first thought is just a general thought of like last night's episode felt like intro to reality television like at one point sheena was like to ariana like lala's here you guys gonna duke it out it felt like a pilot for a show i don't want to watch it felt very very different. Like, aside from the obvious, which is that most of the most favorite and interesting characters are gone. Brittany, Jax, Stassi, Kristen. Is that it? Brett and Max.

We don't count them. No. And they're really, like, the core of this group of friends. That's the obvious part. Actually, the people whose absence I felt the most was Brittany and Jax. I completely agree. They would have been at that party a hundred percent. Kristen was always not invited and Stassi was always doing her own thing.

So, but like what's Brittany and Jax's take on, you know, Sandy Schwartz. Okay. So that's the, there's a couple of things to unpack. It's obviously becoming,

and in addition to what you said, like it is like a different editing, like it all feels very weird. And maybe they're all rusty because like they haven't done the job in two years. And they also feel like they have something to prove because they lost so many fan favorites. But it's just the way that they were talking like felt really like a pilot episode. And it's obviously becoming clear that this is like the Tom and Tom show. And Tom and Tom were on Watch What Happens Live.

And if that's the case, thank you so much. I'm not interested. I have to leave. I cannot listen to Tom Sandoval honestly I can't stand either of them because you know what if Tom Schwartz was my husband I'd smack him upside the head he has no fucking respect for Katie and the way he never defends Katie and is always like let me handle this and like talk shit about Katie to Sandoval I would kill him like that's the worst type of husband I know and then Tom Sandoval thinks that

he's literally the greatest artist who ever lived and everything he does is so great and everything he touches is so great I can't stand him I can't stand him like I don't find humor in anything he says or does it feels so put on the thing with Schwartz and Katie it's like it must be like this Achilles heel in their relationship which is that like yeah he has the best friend who like is not nice to her and he should be able to put his foot down but it's also the thing that's really making him a success Tom Tom right and all these other ventures like him and Tom together are just these big stars and what can you do and by the way Schwartz and Sandy's is such a bad name like it's maybe the worst I've ever heard if they were serving matzo ball soup and knishes she was totally right and

you know what like if they wanted to use their name like schwandy's like I don't know something more better like yeah they're definitely in a tough spot and I'm thinking about this so is Alicia invited in this restaurant she's not in this restaurant that's why it's not called Tom Tom got it I mean what would be best for them is to license the name from her because like franchise they need it to include their names their first names are the same and those are taken they only have their last names to work with because that's what brings people it's not because they're great restauranteurs no but i also am worried about this new restaurant because i think we're past the peak of vanderpump rules i think of course just spending all this money spending all this money though I do think they're always going to

be like bachelorette parties and and people who are huge fans of the show that when they go to LA they want that Vanderpump Rules experience but there is sir there is pump there is Tom Tom and yes the new one is Villablanca the new one will be you know exciting for a moment but like I don't know that they have what it takes like that opening a restaurant and operating a restaurant are hugely costly endeavors it's really hard to be profitable as a restaurant and doing it with Lisa is like so low risk yes they didn't have to put in a lot of money and Lisa knows exactly how to run and operate a restaurant and I think them opening another restaurant is a huge mistake I think so so too, especially in LA. I mean, I'm sure the way that they look at it is like, they probably got a little screwed with Tom Tom. It's much,

but Lisa did all the work and they are each 5%, correct? Yeah. So they probably are like, we want more. This is what we should be doing. We should be opening restaurants and then there should be a Tom Tom in New York, Miami, Chicago. Like we could franchise this, you know? I would say that they should do that with Lisa, but they're not going to do that at 10%. No. But I do think that they should find a way to all work together because I don't know that they'll be able to pull it off.

And also like I'm not interested in trying to watch them do it. Like because Tom Sandoval just steamrolls over Tom Schwartz and I would feel bad for him if Tom Schwartz wasn't such a wussy like grow up like this is your friend and you know what like protect your wife the way that he talks about Katie bothers me so fucking much especially now because I was thinking I'm like I didn't know that they were trying to have a baby and now I'm just like you know it might not be working out the way that they want them to Katie wants to be involved in the restaurant just fucking let her like Tom Sandoval's such an ass no but also they're so dumb because one katie does have like a restaurant of restaurant experience and two the more cast members involved in the restaurant the more appealing it is to fans of the show so if you

involve katie and ariana like that first of all and it's the four of you like that opens up new name ideas they're just like they they're so new name ideas. They're just, like, they. They're so small-minded and, like, they just don't have. And they really think, and it's so crazy because Tom never even worked for Lisa. And she gave him this opportunity on a golden platter. I think about that all the time. And they really believe that they deserve it. More than anyone else.

But, like, not more than anyone. More than Katie. More than Arianna. No. And so now that it's like the Tom Tom show. I just think like Sandoval specifically is even more in belief that like this was always his show. This was always how it was meant to be. Like I am the star.

I deserve this. I got the restaurant. I'm opening another one. And honestly it's really not interesting to watch. Because it's only him and Katie who are the last remaining OGs who were. Sheena. Oh, true. Full time from day one.

And by the way, Sheena's, I'm like, she's growing on me. First of all, I love that she's just like living her life. Like she was wearing this pink dress because that's all that fits her right now. And I just feel like Sheena's always been very uptight. Very like, like inauthentic in a way. And I don't know, I just feel like motherhood is actually really, really good for her. And I'm kind of like obsessed. I agree, but I think she'll always be Sheena, which we can always count on.

But I agree. I think motherhood looks great on her. Yep. And I'm happy for her with Brock. I mean, obviously there's going to be some stuff about Brock and he does seem like a little bit of an operator. Yeah, he has like four kids that he doesn't talk to. Two kids.

He has two kids, but he hasn't talked to him in four years. I think that's what it was. Thank you. Um, and so yes, that does, you know,

raise questions, but there is a lid for every pod. And if there is some funny stuff about him, like there's funny stuff about her too. Yeah. No, I, you're telling me.

I, I'm here for it. I could see them being really well suited for one another. Me too. I mean, also like the fact that like, you know, he's now in see them being really well suited for one another. Me too. I mean, also like the fact that like, you know, he's now in the promos. Like he said. Oh my God, he was in the theme song. He is a full-time cast member.

Like he met this woman and said, I'll join your job. Yeah. Which is like good for Sheena and her work. Work schedule. But it's weird for a relationship. You always, you know, you want someone who's like, supports you, but it's not like. That supportive. You know?

Yeah. Like a beau. By the way, exactly. So next week. Except I think Beau eventually was in the cast. Was on the cast, yeah. But not the first time we met him. Like.

No. But also so much time has passed since they were last on. That's true. Their parents together. They live together. They're all just like, we had to catch up with them so much. Like, I had a baby, I wrote a book. Like, I did a million things

because it's been two years since we last heard from them. Also, they go to Palm Springs next weekend. Is that where Raquel and James get engaged? I believe, Raquel. Raquel, right? But, yeah, Raquel. But I don't think they get engaged next week.

No, same. Because they have a fashion show. They just need to waste our time. Yeah. And then the other thing was Max and James which like I was just hysterically laughing at

because the fact that all of this fight fighting was over the fact that like Max told James that they charged $10 at Dantanas to split a salad onto two plates.

So moronic. So moronic. How is Lisa going to let this boy talk to her son like that? I know. What is with everyone on this show

not defending their family? I have no idea but like if you sent a series of texts calling my son a fat prick you're not you're you're not coming to my house and you're certainly not working for me no no no this is just like kind of like when when James sits down at sir with Lisa and it's like I'd love to come DJ boy you again I'm like are we really going through this again like James gets fired wants to come back like has to grovel has to fix this has to say sorry and then he gets to come back like we've got to evolve yeah no I the Max and James story like I do hope that they can rekindle their friendship because Max it seems

like they've been friends for a long time and Max is a really good friend to James yeah but like James needs to be a better friend to Max and you can't why is every time he gets like angry and sees red he's calling everyone fat yes Katie what is this man's obsession with weight I thought the exact same thing I don't know he's so fat phobic like it makes me fucking hate him and I really do always like try and like like yes he's getting two years sober like I try and believe in him fuck that like seriously the the obsession with people's weight is insane yeah agreed the other thing that we need to talk about is just Lala, period. Period.

All of her arguments. Like she's just so, here's what I love about Lala. She is so above. Unapologetically herself. That, but she's so above all of this. Like in every way. And yet she still comes and she gets down in the mud and she's going to, you know, apologize for this or not.

Not apologize for that. Not apologize for that. Not apologize for that. And I just, I love her so much always. But even like. She was looking amazing and her house is gorgeous. She's just everything of the sort. And I'm so glad she continues to grace us with her presence. Because what would this show be without her?

When she doesn't have to. You know, and like she, like the fact that she's even engaging in these conversations. Yeah. I, thank you, Lala. I do like, the one thing I don't like about Lala. There's just one thing. Yeah. I thank you Lala. I do like the one thing I don't like about Lala there's just one thing. Okay. Is that when she came on the show and it's not really a thing anymore because most of the cast mates are gone but like when she came on the show she was bullied like to another degree and the only girl who was like really nice to her from day one was Sheena. Yeah. And then like when

everyone realized like Lala was so cool and like she started dating this movie producer and she had this new car and she was just like the coolest girl ever like one or two seasons later everyone became best friends with her and she like she never left Sheena behind 100% but maybe 50% I don't think she hold on our food's here oh our food's here should we do a live unboxing again okay I'll save my Lala defense for when I have your full attention delicious lunch thank you okay so that's just I agree that that's what it looks like you know she became part of the cool crowd and then she like left her friends who were there for her when she first was new in school but I feel like she always was friends with Sheena and Ariana too, even as she was friends with the Witches of WeHo.

And then for external reasons, their friendship started to slip. Not because she forgot about where she came from. Because if she did, she wouldn't have kept James Kennedy with her for so long. Well, I do think that like she was like somewhat like in love with James Kennedy for a short period of time. Maybe for five days. Like maybe for a minute. Well,

I just think we'll agree to disagree. I don't know how we can go on podcasting when our food is here. Like I think we have to wrap up. Yeah. That plus it's all I really wanted to say. Um, next week Lala takes on Charlie, like,

and Charlie thinks she's like doing something and I'm here to tell her she's not. Charlie thinks she's Lala. And it's like, there's only one Lala and you have to earn your way there. And you have to give them Lala. Yeah. No.

And Lala just gave us so much before she just became someone that we just rallied behind. And we accept, even though sometimes she acts out of control. Yeah. But she also always can see herself eventually. You know what I mean? Eventually. Yes. Yeah.

Well, that was Savannah Purple's recap. And we'll see how many weeks we make it because it's really not a great show. Yeah. But that, speaking of great shows. The Sandoval to me watching ratio is directly correlated. That's such a good call. So we'll see. So that's our show, you guys.
