Good morning, Millennials. Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Wednesday. Happy Hump Day. Do not forget. I know it's easy to forget, but do not forget to hump someone you love today. It's especially easy to forget today since neither Dew nor Brew are here. Today I had like a feeling of maybe bringing Brew, but you know, it's just so much work and I had to cook my coffee. Oh, you're telling me. No, but Dew is a full-grown adult. Still so much work work he takes himself to work he packs his briefcase it's still back he brings his lunch it's back breaking brew it's

like a little baby i'm coming up on my one year anniversary of brew's homecoming your one year brandiversary my one year brandiversary like my time hop yesterday it's like the crate getting set up and like i'm just i remember those days i think it's like the crate getting set up. And like, I'm just. I remember those days. I think it's like six days till the brand anniversary. And I'm literally just going to like cry all day. Like I'm so, it's just so crazy. This journey that I've been on in the last year. And what this man brew has brought to my life.

What his role in the journey was. And I don't know if anyone out there is thinking about getting a puppy right now. And I know it's a lot of responsibility and a lot of work. Yes. But I just need to let you know, I don't remember any of that. I only remember the love. It has been worth it on every single level. And Brew actually took kind of a long time to get trained. And, you know, sometimes he still has his moments and I wouldn't trade it for the world. So if you're looking for a sign to get a puppy or even, you know, a cat. No, this is not a sign to get a cat. A hamster.

Sure. A pet of any sort. A pet rock. Do it because it will change your life. Couldn't echo that sentiment any harder if I tried. I mean, I've been like trying to tell everyone this like forever. Like that first year, it is hard. You know, not to minimize. It's hard.

But my God, is it worth it? It's, I mean, you know what? Now looking back at the year, like that portion where Brew literally needed to go out every 30 minutes. Feels like it was, you know. A dream. No, but it feels like it was such a short period of time. They just need to grow a little bit to get the bladder bigger. And then they can hold it for longer.

But at that time, it was just still so exciting and I just I'm feeling you know very grateful for the brew in my life I absolutely love to hear that happy anniversary to Bruno to you Zach the whole family celebrating the whole week so I think we're gonna do seven days of brew love that unfortunately I am gone for the next seven days so i will ben said he was gonna be happy to celebrate great for the first three days because he loves being an uncle to brew even though i think he's met him like three times no ben loves brew he does yeah he talks about bruno all the time he said that yeah no he's literally doesn't even know brew no not at all um but speaking of ben today is my last show of the week because i'm headed to roma to

eat some spaghetti. You know, I was actually thinking this morning, I do not know like one thing. I don't know how to say anything in Italian. Yeah, you do. Ciao. Ciao. Bella. I should have done babble.

It's not too late. Do it on the plane. Because like honestly. Because these classes are snackable. Traveling to a country where you don't know like and even like, you know's the bathroom like it's kind of dangerous bonjour no i think i'm fluent mozzarella mozzarella you should do babble on the plane a hundred percent classes today's not sponsored by babble i was just thinking last night how i legit don't know like one lick of Italian but Ben is filling in for me tomorrow Friday and Monday so if you have something you've been wanting to ask

Ben or just something you've been thinking about getting Ben's take on let us know yeah Ben is full of takes he is full of takes they're usually terrible I look forward to hearing what he brings to the table you know I do love an out-of-the-box take I do so oh tbt yeah so I am here for whatever he wants to bring yeah to the show no you two will get along swimmingly like Ben like when it comes when I ask him to like form an opinion on like toe stuff or just in general when he's having a like an opinion on something he'll come up with like the worst take ever just because like he wants to be like contrarian and different and you know that element I do respect but the take is so bad. No you can't just do it for the sake of doing it you know. Can I be honest with

you sometimes it feels like you have your like controversial takes like just for the sake of being a contrarian. And that's your feeling and that's not fact. I don't do it for the sake of it. I do it because I think most of the time if everybody's saying the exact same thing and it seems too simple and too good to be true you know there's multiple sides to every story and you've got to look at it from a layered perspective sure and I think you should apply that to all areas of your life some things aren't so simple and sometimes the majority they don't know what they got it wrong no No, I mean, that's definitely true, but it's not like all the time. No, I mean, sometimes I'm just like,

yeah, happy for them, period. You're full of hot takes. So it should be a very interesting week with you and Ben. I mean, it makes for an interesting show. A hundred percent. So that's Thursday, Friday and Monday with Ben. I'll be back on Tuesday. Try not to miss me so much.

I am really, I'm actually going to watch, I can't do Babel on the plane. I'm going to watch the Lizzie McGuire movie before I fall asleep. I kind of just need some inspiration from Miss Ungermeyer. That's what I'm going to do.

Okay. Have fun. And I'm going to listen to the soundtrack. And I actually, if you have any good captions, like Lizzie McGuire, I like forgot all like,

I don't even remember what happened in the movie. I just remember. Well, you're going to watch the movie. Sneaky Brown knows where the hidden agenda, but if you went to Rome and you have like some good captions that

you use that are like lizzie mcguire miss ungermeyer like references do send them my way because i'm curious you're about to watch a movie you're gonna be chock full no no just because i watch a movie i need like creative like maybe ideas for tiktoks like something if you have if you have any ideas just send them my way okay do you plan on doing a lot of content on this trip? A hundred percent. Cool. And it's going to be all Lizzie McGuire. Like, what else is there to do in Rome except talk about the Lizzie McGuire movie?

That's true. What other movies take place in Rome? Like, none. What's that Anna Faris movie? What happened? No, no. Something about Rome. Do you know what I'm talking about?

It's, like, one of her million, like, rom-coms. I think, like, Josh Duhamel was in it. I don't... It's like they built... What is that movie? Hold on. Romantic Comedy... I don't think it was Anna Faris.

Are you sure? But do you know what I'm talking about? Romantic Comedy Rome. Is, um... Mm, nah. Am I making this movie up in my head? Yeah, because it doesn't ring a bell, and I'm quite familiar with her catalog. No, but maybe not Anna Faris, but like one of those girls.

What's it about? Like Rome, I don't know. There's like a wedding in Rome. Like he's going to be her date. Honestly, it didn't come up. I haven't seen it. It's not to Rome with love. I don't even know what that is.

There's a Sarah Jessica Parker movie, All Roads Lead to Rome. That's not To Roam With Love. I don't even know what that is. There's a Sarah Jessica Parker movie, All Roads Lead to Rome. That's not it. Maybe I am just like making up this movie in my head. What about the one with Brittany Murphy and Ashton Kutcher where they're like newlyweds? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Honeymoon. They're on their honeymoon.

What's that movie called? Google it. That is the best movie. And is it in Rome? It's Rome vibes. Okay. It could be, you know, like Milan. That is the best movie. And is it in Rome? It's Rome vibes. Okay. It could be, you know, like Milan.

You know, that movie is like always playing on E! Movies We Love. What is this called? Just Married. Okay, where does it take place? Everywhere. Just Married. Okay. So, it was nominated for a Golden Globe.

What? Okay, it doesn't have like their itinerary on here. just married okay so it was nominated for a golden globe what okay it doesn't have like their itinerary on here but i don't think that they went to why the movie made a hundred million dollars it was that good it was people know quality oh venice oh not rome same but different same but different but yeah so like if you have any good i don't know so the only cultural reference i know is the lizzie m But yeah, so like if you have any good, I don't know. So the only cultural reference I know is the Lizzie McGuire movie. Got it. So if you have any good captions that you use and like got like so many likes on, like let me know because I want to steal it.

Okay, cool. Simple enough. Because obviously the first one is like me at the Trevi Fountain feeling like a sneaky brown noser with a hidden agenda. Why does that have to be Trevi Fountain? Because that's like so Rome. Okay. I mean, I guess I could just like geotag, but like I want it to be like this really Roman picture and like for me when I think Rome I think sneaky brown nose are

with a hidden agenda okay okay what do you think of um Paolo oh also Eurotrip but like I don't really like know that movie yeah or the references except they've elected a new pope when like the white smoke comes out yeah that'll be one of my captions too okay perfect i'm starting to google to go no like you're gonna have to take a lot of pictures do you think your friends are up to the task like your husband's not going okay so ben's not going he's not going okay but i have a oh okay aim is like one of my best friends from high school and he's very like actually very artsy and he can take a pic. Okay. And he knows he's been tasked. Like because I got so many dresses.

Like I'm going to look so cute. Except like I did get this gown that I fully intend to re-wear like maybe to three more weddings. And I'm thinking I actually won't take any pictures at the actual wedding in the dress. Like for my Instagram. Yeah. I think that's a good idea. Because I don't know how everyone's keeping up with all these weddings. Like dresses, everything.

Like everything on Revolve is on back order. Like, you can't get a gown on Revolve until literally December. That's true. I actually just had to order some dresses. And, of course, the ones that I liked were on pre-order. Of course. And that didn't help anything. But I do feel like, I was actually just thinking about this.

I do feel like it's easier than ever to get dresses. Like, I remember when I was in college, like, you would have formal. And, like, you would have to borrow a dress from a friend. Right, right, right. Now these girls just have a revolving door of Revolve packages with, like, you would have formal, and, like, you would have to borrow a dress from a friend. Right, right, right. Now these girls just have a revolving door of revolve packages with, like, formal dresses. I never went to a formal, like. You haven't lived. Really? What was, what did they do? It was just, like, it was, like, a college party, but it was formal. So, like, everyone dressed up? Everyone dressed up. What did boys wear? Like, suit. Oh, wow. Very

nice. And you had a date, so there was, like, a romantic element. And so some people just, like, invited a friend for formal. But, like, sometimes it was, like, And you had a date, so there was, like, a romantic element. And so some people just, like, invited a friend for formal. But, like, sometimes it was, like, if you had a crush on someone and, like, they have a formal, are they going to invite you? Oh, my God. And how many times, how frequent were the formals? So, like, each fraternity, each group would have, like, one a season. So, like, two a year per house. So there's a lot of formals going around.

And how many houses are there? Like, 15? And sometimes they would have, it depends on the school. Right. And also I'm sure that depends on the school too but also sometimes they would have like a formal and a semi-formal like they had the big one and a smaller one so it's just like was a really so how many formulas did you go to and when you ask someone to a formal is it like a big deal or do you just like send it via text you send it via text okay but like it's a big deal

no but they don't make like a big production it's not prom every single week it's not like a proposal it's not prom every week it's not rockchella no proposal. It's not prom every week. It's not Rockchella. No, it's not Rockchella. How many formals did I, I went to a fair share of formals. Like were you like a gal who got asked? Because honestly,

I think as much as this sounds really fun, I'm so grateful. You think it would be hurtful. I think I'm so grateful I went to NYU because like, okay, let's say all of your,

it's okay, there's so many. You don't have to be invited to everyone. But like all your friends are going to one and then you're like scrambling to find a date like some pathetic loser but like it never really happened in such a sad way like that for example if all of your but

it would happen for me no but like if all of your friends were going then they were all going with like a group of guys who were friends say and then there was more than likely someone in their group of friends who didn't have a date and would invite you like it usually worked out like that um but sometimes you like went to a formal where you didn't have a date and would invite you. Like, it usually worked out like that. But sometimes you, like, went to a formal where you didn't know anyone, you know, because you're just, like, you're taking a leap on an unknown man. That's painful. No, but, like, it's just, that's the closest you'll get to romance in college. But if I'm a guy and, like, I want to invite a girl who, like, knows everyone

because, like, I don't want to be babysitting my date. Yeah, there's that too. So, like, you could get just, like, a social invite. Right, so you could get, like, actually I feel like I don't want to be babysitting my date. Yeah there's that too so like you could get a just a friend like a social invite. So you could get like actually I feel like I might be invited a lot because I'm just like playing this out I went to NYU like I just actually feel like I might have been invited to a lot of formals because like you don't have to worry about me like you can go I don't even need to talk to you like drop me off I'll meet a new guy hang out with my friends but like you'll have a date but you won't have to babysit me and like we can have the best time but like if you need to go do your thing like I'm good on my own yes only thing

is like he might want to have sex with someone no I not gonna be no definitely not um so like oh so interesting there's like this whole part of your life that like and also sometimes there would be it depend not on us for a formal formal but for some of the like more casual formals there would sometimes just be like a socialist of people girl like guys or girls at the party guys or girls who were invited who weren't anyone's date we just like them so got it got it that could be your your oh by the way i'm like the head of the social committee for sure yeah and like i keep the list love that but you know i was watching a tiktok that was like you know top 10 schools that consume the most beer number one was like university of wisconsin colgate was like number four that's crazy because

the population is so small it's like 3 000 max that's crazy yo that's a lot of beer it's whack i didn't contribute to any of it yeah never actually we did keg stands that one time we did yeah we took pictures you did you did one too I don't know if I did you definitely did one maybe for the picture but still I was definitely not drinking some of my fondest memories are those weekends that we used to visit you at college oh what a time what a place and just to clarify I just don't drink beer I drank like oh yeah I just I'm not a beer early uh in my old age I actually have started to enjoy it quite a bit you have you know it's just like something that I don't that I'm just trying to reconcile it's like my college years were just a few years off from like canned cocktails yeah white claws white claw obviously society society

like that would have changed my college experience if like I didn't always have to like pregame before because there wasn't going to be vodka at the party. Like because some schools like ban hard alcohol at parties. Like, oh my God, there was so much chaos surrounding like trying to get a drink if you weren't a beer drinker. And that like White Claw just solved that. 100%. And like now if you go, I mean, I haven't been to a college party, but I imagine there's

just cases of like truly white cloths for society. Oh my God, I can't even imagine. I agree. Like that is a game changer. And honestly, that's such a good call. Yeah, I think about it often. I'm happy for the kids now, but you know, I really would have been just like,

my whole life would have been different. Totally. But we have an amazing show for you guys. It is my last show of the week, so I'm just going to try and make it my best one yet. We have a juicy tv recap we've got vanderpump rules which i did catch up on and last night's episode was fine last night was also the season finale of only murders in the building the most perfect show on television most perfect we watched it and i also i did watch the new episode of impeachment me and ben ben ben literally stumbled in and he's like

is impeachment on he doesn't even remember my birthday. Like, but he knows that, you know, Tuesday at nine o'clock is impeachment. And I was like, I don't know. And we recorded it and it was on and it was so good. So now you're watching week to week, you think? I mean, I didn't plan on it, but Ben all of a sudden is like this timely person and we watch it and it didn't, I mean, I would love to just binge it. It's so good. And when the episode ends, I'm like depressed.

So we'll see moving forward how I handle it. But I would love for it to just be dropped. Like it's enough. And when you watch on FX, there's commercials. Like it's not a premium experience. But then it goes to Hulu the next day. Yeah, but I use Zach Shapiro's Hulu. And he don't have that like extra subscription.

I'm about to like just click it for him. But I bought the whole season on iTunes. So like I just, they download them automatically. Got it. I have them all recorded on my TV. So I'll watch that way. Can I tell you like how unenjoyable it is to skip through the commercials? Like when I watch on iTunes, it was literally like a film. It's like an hour long. There's like, it goes black and then it comes and you have to do anything. And last night I was like every five minutes like with the clicker. like it's so annoying. So annoying.

These are some tough times we're living in. So that will be the TV recap segment. We've got the fast five and I don't have anything else to say unless you do. No, I had a lovely evening of nesting last night. I cooked like, so I started because I just wanted to make a salad to go with my dressing. I was still in the fridge and then I was like I have some chicken let's cook that up and then I was like we need a starch made some pasta so I really um created a whole culinary experience it looked really good it was really good and when I'm so funny like I just decided like four o'clock

I'm like time to cook dinner and then I go to get Zach and he's like still on calls and I'm just like he just had lunch I'm like it's like 5 30 he's like still working and I'm like but I don't want to eat my meal and it's like because you started cooking at four o'clock like I just don't plan at all so I got to get better about that but it's like I don't do the cooking for like meal times I do it because it's an activity obviously so that's just that was fun and then I read a lot last night I'm reading apples Never Fall by Leanne Moriarty. You know her. She's Big Little Lies, Nine Perfect Strangers. Husband's Secret. Husband's Secret, What Alice Forgot,

which is still my favorite Leanne Moriarty book, but maybe it's just because it was the first one that I read. And I'm really enjoying Apples Never Fall. For some reason, the description made me think it was spooky about a murder. It's not spooky at all. And I just love her voice, Leanne Moriarty like I was cracking up this character that's like the mom of the family it's just so funny and she's like the house is so quiet now that all her kids are grown so she listens to podcasts like on her like beats headphones

all throughout the day so that she can be and her daughter has like migraines so she listens to like living with migraines and it's like she's such she's hysterical so I'm really enjoying the book hopefully I finish it like today I've been on a reading like bit plowing through reading well I haven't but I am charging my kindle for my trip and I was thinking that I wanted to read excuse me excuse me bless you that I wanted to read that new housewives book by Dave we're gonna talk about in the stories okay because I want to talk I wanted to read that new Housewives book by Dave. We're going to talk about it in the stories. Okay. Because I want to talk about to read or not to read. Okay, same. So then I'll save what I was going to say.

Okay. And I also have Beach Read on deck. That's all I was going to say. I haven't read it yet. I liked it when I read it. I don't know if that's your next book. We'll talk about it. Okay, then give me some like just generic, you know, murder, thrill, romance, something

like silly, you know? Like what something like silly you know like what was that book about the girl who got married in nantucket but then there was a murder at the wedding um that was was it ellen hildebrand yeah 27 the perfect couple the perfect couple yes something like that you know okay okay i'm going through something nonsensical nonsensical i'm looking i've i've had such a weird year of reading Jackie my flight is at 5 30 and I get in at 7 a.m that Rome time like do you sleep the whole time well you'll sleep as much as you can yeah but like should I take like a sleeping pill and just like try and sleep the eight hours so I wake up like refresh 7 a.m in Rome

yikes I know I don't know or do you sleep a little bit more when you get to the hotel till like 11 yeah but like once I'm in Rome I just want to you know be a sneaky brown noser with my hidden agenda that is true do you read the good sister by Sally Hepworth yet no I didn't it's really good okay done I think that's the one we stand Sally Hepworth in this house we really do do. I need to, like, go read some of her other books. But before I can do that, without further ado, it is time for the Fast Five Stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

Okay, our first story, just this has been a roller coaster you guys and right now we're on another i would say we're going up we're climbing lala ken is home with randall according to tmz and not calling off the engagement yet lala and randall are trying to save their engagement tmz has learned they're at home together working on their relationship even as rumors fly that they've split sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ that Lala and Randall have not broken broken off their engagement despite reports to the contrary they're told Lala went to the Beverly Hills Hotel on Sunday night and stayed there as part of a planned night out with her girlfriends and she's now back home in the couple's Bel Air estate and according to like the Instagram photos that they've been posting it does

look like referencing the pictures she's posted. It actually looks like that's in their house. They also have a podcast and they released a podcast episode yesterday and mentioned nothing of this. Well, it probably was pre-recorded. I read somewhere that it was like just recorded, but I don't, there's no proof of that. Yeah, I feel like they probably recorded it even a few days ago.

But then also, so I saw this article from TMZ and I was feeling so hopeful. Because I, you know, TMZ is usually pretty truthful. So I was like, okay, this is really good news. And then also, did you see that Randall posted a video of two girls like working? In his office. Are those the two girls from Nashville? Were they truly just working on business so he was in the nashville um lobby with a blonde and a brunette and in his office

are blonde and brunette and he posted them not saying anything but i think wanting us to like infer that but there is other damning evidence from this situation it's not just those photos i believe there are text messages floating around um so he's not completely out of the woods yet but I don't know like you know Sheena said something really fucking mean on on um Vanderpump Rules last night when he when or maybe it was two episodes ago because I just caught up when Randall was like no I don't change diapers and she was like Sheena in her confessionals was like I could never be with someone who like refuses to change a diaper no matter how much money he has I guess Lala can be bought yeah no she keeps saying mean stuff about Lala in her confessionals they must not be friends right now that's like a really mean thing to say yeah and weirdly enough last night on banner pump rules this sort of conversation

came up between Lala and Sheena where yeah um Lala was pretty much telling Sheena like how you get them is how you lose them and also Lala to herself is like and I understand that about my situation and it's like a concern of mine right like that's it's something that lives in the back of my head and like I actually I think a lot of people saw that scene and were like oh how ironic but I actually what moral high ground do you have Lala but I thought I had a lot of respect for her like owning it completely yeah they are like how can you talk about bra considering what's going on in your relationship now but it's like watching that scene Lala has such a good head on her shoulders. And the fact, and it's true, so many times people get into a relationship, you know,

they were married or separated. And then, and the saying goes, how you get them is how you lose them. And Lala is aware of that. Doesn't mean she's not going to be with Randall or give him a chance, but like, it's not something that she's going to like blissfully ignore. Be delusional about. Yeah. So I actually thought that it was the perfect scene to watch while we're all like dealing with this news because it's like oh whatever regardless of

what happens like she's gonna be fine nothing is going to surprise her no and Lala didn't think that like this was out of the realm of possibility and Lala's not living her life like Randall is like will be there forever and I don't need to do anything ever like she and that's really what like Sheena does like with everyone yeah she has multiple businesses like I think she's always you know planning on taking care of herself if it ever comes to that so I don't know what's going on between Lala and Rand I'm I'm feeling extremely hopeful this is some good news for the Landall Sands our ship you guys it's not sinking like I think it's more Rala it's whatever you want it to be and I I'm feeling like for once you know my optimism has paid off you know you're always like delusionally optimistic and like more

often than not like Kim and Kanye like the world lets you down so like you needed this with Kim and Kanye I actually think my optimism protected me because I never really had to deal like so when everyone was reporting that they were separating divorcing and they never confirmed it I was like okay well they haven't confirmed it so it's like I don't have to grieve yet because it might not be and then by the time she did share it on keeping up I was way more prepared to hear it of course it softened the blow all the time okay so that's true like they're not together but this isn't now new news to me like I'm okay with it and now they're in a place where they're so simpatico that it's like I never had to grieve. I skipped the grieving process all together. That's true. And now I'm so familiar with the idea of them not being together.

Like separate but like simpatico. Yeah and so it's the best case scenario. Sometimes your optimism can protect you. I do think Lala and Randall will probably be fine. Yeah. That's just like a gut feeling of mine. I have no proof of that. But I would love some clarification on what the fuck's going on for sure. She was also spotted walking without her engagement ring on. But she was also like not dressed up.

So maybe she just like didn't put her jewelry on. I just want to say. I can't abide by that. Like okay. I literally literally hate when people like she wasn't wearing her ring like it's maybe for a guy it means something because like Ben never takes his ring off he like sleeps in it showers in it if I'm home my ring is off if I'm running to the grocery store my ring is off like so all these paparazzi pictures like spotted without her ring means literally nothing absolutely zilch zilch um I mean I think sometimes celebrities like use it as like a tool to let us know what's going on so if they're at the grocery store with like a sponsored beverage in hand and no ring like okay they're trying to tell us something but if it's truly a paparazzi like catching you

in your natural state yeah at the grocery store getting a coffee and you're not wearing your ring. To me, that means absolutely nothing. Means nothing. I completely agree. So there's still hope between the two of them. And maybe they are going through a rough patch. Like maybe those pictures, text messages were just like, you know, a warning sign. And maybe they're going to work it out.

I'm going to go with TMZ because it's TMZ saying they're together. And Page Six is saying that they split so those are two kind of as far as you know tabloids go they're kind of reputable sources yeah i mean honestly but considering this is an la thing i'm gonna go with tmz i agree page six has the new york tea but i do believe tmz's got it covered in california why would randall Lala? Like honestly I was watching her and I'm like she is so gorgeous. Like I forget what I was watching. I think when they were sitting out playing Jenga in Palm Springs and she was wearing like this gorgeous hat and sunglasses and like a little black bathing suit. I'm like there's literally nobody in the world who's more gorgeous and she just had a baby. Like what else is out there? And she's got the personality.

She's really the full package. She will keep it interesting. You'll always be laughing. She is everything of the sort. I agree. But you know what? When a man is a serial cheater like that, it doesn't make sense. Right. They don't do it based on logic.

Right. They just, they've got problems. Yeah. That is so lame. Like, honestly. Serial cheater? Like, that's not a thing. Yeah.

Like, just don't cheat on your wife or don't be married. That's what, like, the page six is saying. That he has this, like, two sides to him. I don't know if he's a serial cheater. No, but, like, okay, that's not a thing yeah just don't cheat on your wife or don't be married that's what like the page six is saying that he has this like two sides to him I don't know if he's a serial cheater no but like okay that's a thing like serial cheater and it's just like don't cheat on your wife like it's really not that hard especially when she just had a baby yeah yeah ocean is mad cute beyond so we'll see we shall see but you guys tell. I'm feeling better than I did at the outset of the week. I'm glad. Our next story. The executive producer for Bravo's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills claims Lisa Vanderpump leaked the Puppygate story.

Obviously. OK, so a new Real Housewives tell all book called Not All Diamonds and Rosé has just dropped by David Quinn. Dave Quinn. Sorry, I don't know him like that. And there are just, you David Quinn. Dave Quinn. Sorry I don't know him like that. And there are just you know bombs aplenty. It's like an oral history of the beginning of Real Housewives of a lot of the things that we've seen. So one is that the Beverly Hills producer is saying that when Lisa lost the narrative in the show and she realized that it wasn't going the way she wanted

that's when she leaked the story to the press about Lucy Lucy Apple Juicy. Okay so let's talk about Lucy Lucy Apple Juicy and then let's talk about Lucy, Lucy, Apple, Juicy. And then let's talk about... Some of the other bombs. Just the book in general. So obviously, Lisa Vanderpump leaked that whole Dorit dog rescue thing. That's the least surprising thing of all time. But, you know, when I was watching Vanderpump Rules last night,

I was thinking a lot about Lisa Vanderpump. Like, my God, what a relevant person. Like, talk about a fall from grace. She thought she was too good for the housewives. She didn't even show up at the end, but she this like sickening franchise she didn't need it vanderpump world's like imploded on its own she got her own show that was like actually i think detrimental to her reputation that's how like embarrassingly the embarrassing the ratings were and she's just like kind of like flop central now like what where in the world is lisa vanderpump yeah it's true i mean and still seeing just like kind of like flop central now like what where in the world is Lisa Vanderpump

yeah it's true I mean and still seeing her like hanging out with these children on Vanderpump rules and she's like making fun of James's ring because he said he got it from Tiffany's and he didn't like what are you doing like you're a grown fucking woman I don't know it's it's pretty sad and I guess I the thing is when someone like is lying so blatantly, like, you know, Kyle came to her house, like ask her as a friend, did you leak it? And she's like, no, like you at a certain point, it's like, okay, maybe she didn't. Yeah. That's always an element in your mind.

So reading this, it is a little bit surprising that like, after all, like she died on that hill for that lie. She really did. Even though like in hindsight, she's the only one who talks to Radar online. Like they used words that like she uses that uses that were, like, weirdly specific words. Like, it was written in her voice. Duh. But still, at the time, I was like, well, did she?

Or was it someone in her camp? Right. You know? But, like, nope. It was her. Was it John from Vanderpump Dogs? Right. Exactly.

Or someone who, like, overheard her speaking and then ran and told Radar Online in the same words that she used, you know? But no, it's not. Sometimes the answer is the simplest one. I just feel like she went out in such a coward-like way and she's really just gone downhill from there. Yeah. Like in so many ways.

Like every time there's something about her in the press, it's never flattering. When the women do refer to her, it's like in the most negative way. Vanderpump Rules is a fraction of what it used to be a shell of the show it used to be and it's just like honestly Lisa Vanderpump is kind of irrelevant like she is you just love to see it yeah I mean Vanderpump Rules is not like our favorite show anymore but still I guess she does have like her own show on Bravo okay but

when she left Beverly Hills I think that she had the energy to do it because she was literally an executive producer of the biggest show on television. Like, Vanderpump Rules for so long was this, like, rocket ship. Like, everyone was obsessed. Like, everyone on the show was having all the success. Lisa was, like, the girl. And now it's just, like, a regular show like everyone else, like a loser-y reality show that doesn't have the longevity that it used to yeah so some of the

other stuff that's come out from the book that I've seen so far Carol okay Carol versus Andy some spat there I'm sorry I just like can't be bothered to care but did you see that a lot of the women from New York said that Bethany was the one who set up the picture of Tom kissing another woman at the regency what so apparent this is what they're saying allegedly i don't want to hear this stuff like i want to read it in the book oh you so you do want to read okay we'll talk about but then i also want to ask like if i should read the book and i'll give you my my reasoning on why same for me this is what i read that i guess bethany's friend like bethany had a friend who bethany knew

was like in communication with Tom. And so she, like, kind of orchestrated them getting together at the Regency and kissing. And that's how she got the photo because she kind of set it up as opposed to, like, randomly her friend was at the Regency and got a picture of it. I don't know if I believe that. At the time, people thought it might have been production that told Bethany about it. But more sinisterly, some of the women are saying that Bethany actually like knew about the whole setup if it's coming from the real housewives of New York they're such jealous women and they're they like hate Bethany I don't really believe that Bethany has like a lot

going on like she was dealing with her custody battle and her million dollar business and her child like I don't know if she has time to set up Tom in the regency yeah I don't know if she has time to set up Tom in the Regency. Yeah, I don't know either. I don't totally believe it, but I could see a situation where it's like Bethany knew, they all had their concerns about Tom. And Bethany knew that she had a friend who was like, Tom was talking to her. And she was like, wait, would Tom really do this?

And so she was like, go meet up with him, like do whatever you want to do. And was maybe trying to like give him the benefit of the doubt that he wouldn't like make out with her in public. But then when he did like and she got the picture because her reaction, I'm sorry, that's not acting. Like she was literally like genuine panic attack. Like I think maybe even if she did set it up,

which I don't think it's possible she didn't. But even if she did, I think maybe he thought she thought that like that wouldn't be the outcome. I do not think it was a test that he failed. I don't think that she had anything to do with it because if the only proof is coming from like Ramona Singer and Dorinda. Luann.

They hate Bethany. They hate her. I don't believe that at all. But part of the reason why I'm struggling with this book because there is a bunch of good tea coming out, but I feel like I've heard it already. Like the big things are this that you just told me, Lisa Vanderpump selling Lucy, Lucy Apple Juicy.

And then like Carol andy do not talk anymore she went absolutely ballistic on andy um so i feel like i've heard like the juiciest pieces and my concern is that this book is published by andy cohen books it's like their first book ever it's like his imprint and i can't imagine that it would be that juicy because first of all there's probably a lot of juice around andy And like Andy had to approve all this book. Like it's going to be a very flattering book for Andy. And I don't know. I feel like it's just it's not going to go there like 100% because it's like an Andy book, if that makes sense.

I think it'll go there on stuff that happened so long ago that's irrelevant. Like sure, we'll get the tea on what happened between Gina Keough and Vicky. But like I don't care. Who cares? I know. And the book I saw Andy hold it up on Watch What Happens Live is massive. So maybe like, so I don't want, I'm not downloading that on my Kindle. No, I was actually thinking it's much more of a physical read

and it's like maybe a cute like thing to put on your coffee table. And like, maybe you just, I agree. It's too big to put on a Kindle. Like it's overwhelming. It's like a textbook. It's a textbook. So my conclusion was that i wasn't going to read it because i like i don't think i'm that level of housewife fan anymore that's like

i've got to read the books too i mean so sometimes like when a book comes out that's like has bombshells and you see in like every news article another day another bombshell like jessica simpson it's like oh my god i have to read this i'm not even gonna look at the spoilers this doesn't feel that way to me I'm like I'm happy to just get the nuggets from the news well to be honest it's such a thick book and I feel like so much of it is about Orange County because it really was the first franchise I know that Vicky's like very involved in the book as is Scott Dunlop who produced and produces Orange County and like to be honest like I really don't care about Orange County. Not in the slightest. To me, the first franchise is New York.

And you want to fight me on that? That's fine. I know that Orange County was a year or two before. But the New York women put the show on the map. Yeah. If this book had come out a few years ago, I probably would have read it. But I just don't feel like... I don't have the reverence for the show that I once did.

I agree. So I don't really care about the tea. And if it was shorter, I might have read it but it does feel weird because didn't Brian Moylan just write a book like this? Yeah. The Real Story of the Real Housewives. Yeah but is that part of Andy's imprint? No. So it feels like this is like the more in-depth version. Yeah. But Andy was so involved with this book it gives it like the stamp of approval yes but then also so you it makes you wonder like you know it's definitely been yes right okay I'm looking at Brian Brian and like are they putting stuff in there about

how much everyone's getting paid like that's the shit I want to know yeah I don't know I wonder if the book's gonna do do well. I feel like it will. They're like Bravo and everyone, every housewife was at the party last night. Like everyone is giving it 100%. I'm sure it will do well. Yeah. There's tons of fans. We're going to continue on with our stories, but not before I let you know that today's

We do love it. Our next story, Celine Dion has been forced to delay her Las Vegas residency over severe muscle spasms. Celine Dion is delaying the opening of her new residency because of severe and persistent muscle spasms she announced on Tuesday morning. The unforeseen medical symptoms have been preventing her from performing,

so the songstress is canceling her dates that were originally scheduled from November 5th to November 21st and January 19th to February 5th. If you guys had tickets, I'm really sorry. Well, I really hope she's okay, but selfishly, I'm really sorry well I really hope she's okay but selfishly I'm like so relieved because November 5th like Brian had tickets in Vegas but it is your birthday

and I would never miss your birthday so I said no Brian I can't go to this amazing once in a lifetime chance because I love my sister more than life itself and now it got canceled so I didn't have to go didn't have to make the choice um this is really like concerning I hope everything is truly okay I know to cancel so many shows I know and like I'm not saying that what she that she's lying but like you know when when celebrities release things like this they always have a reason and it's always something else and it's none of our business so I really hope that whatever is actually going on because I don't think it's muscle spasms these I don't know if that would take a month you know I really really hope she's okay like she's a queen she gives us so much yeah she is the soundtrack of

our lives and like whatever time she needs like we will give her the time and the grace I just really I hope she's okay yeah take the time all the time that she needs plus like her performances are so like obviously vocally she gives us everything and more and just emotionally emotionally and so she needs to always be operating at like 100 you know she can't really there's no phoning it in when you're Celine Dion so I understand like you know if not everything is is working properly then we need to postpone and let's like remember she's been doing this for so long she's been through so much if she needs time off she needs time off and she does not need to give me an explanation I really feel like in this day

and age like people postponing tours residencies concert dates like so common it's so common and it's like okay what's another six month right no because of COVID like we all got our money back and we saw like the world didn't end so now like people are just like shifting canceling adding shows it's like it's actually lovely like it's much more flexible now yeah it is and it seems like less of a big deal like when someone used to like cancel a tour it would be like worldwide news and now it's just maybe like you know covid stuff they just like use it as an excuse now probably as well but it must be a relief for them that it's like they don't have to upend their whole business oh yeah like if i'm canceling a show due to poor ticket sales i'm 100% saying it's because of covid 100% someone in the venue has covid like i'm just no like if i ever

cancel a show i'm gonna regret saying this it's because nobody bought tickets like that's the only reason to cancel a show unless like i break my leg no or like maybe something came up in your say the ticket sales were like meh something came up that you'd rather be doing and you like there's other reasons because Las Vegas Nevada Dirty Jeans Tour canceling because of ticket sales no okay so like literally I was supposed to go no definitely not I was supposed to do a show in Vegas and it was like such a big push like I was on a billboard ingas and when we launched it's like a thousand person theater i sold 100 tickets and they were very like to vegas is a weird market you sell the tickets two weeks before like that's just how it goes because people don't know they're going to

vegas until they're in and i'm like and i understand that but like you have to understand how my business works like the toasters the patreon like we are prepared like we get our tickets months in advance i don't have a good feeling about this and i'm not traveling six hours when i was going to vegas for my birthday remember my 25th oh my god i'm so old 25th birthday ocean's 25 and then i was gonna have to go back to vegas like two weeks later i'm like i'm not like killing myself just to get no offense to see 100 people how pathetic is that so my cancel and the 100 people were upset and i'm sorry but like but it was COVID thank you it was there was a deadly illness penetrating through the mirage yeah so what can you do and I had like this gorgeous out

of her hands and this like gorgeous wall that was like Bob Saget Amy Schumer like Claudia Asher you should have just done the show just really just for that I just didn't want to wait it out like I'm sure more tickets I'm sure I could have gotten to, like, 500 by the time of the show. But, like, I hate performing in front of half-filled rooms. It's depressing. Trust me, I've done it a lot. Casinorama. Ooh, that was dark.

Where is that? Outside of Toronto. It's in Rama, Ontario. Honestly, I don't even know where it is. That sounds right. Yeah. And it was, like, a half-filled room. And there was, like, a bunch of toasters there. But there was also, see, when you play it is, but. That sounds right. Yeah. And it was like a half-filled room and there was like a bunch of toasters there,

but there was also, see when you play casinos, you get such great deals. Like why wouldn't you play a casino gig? Yeah, you get like rooms and. And you like, casinos are just filled with money. So they're paying you more than,

than Madison Square Garden. Like, so casinos are the best, but you, especially in like this remote part of town, like I'm doing Parks Casino this time around and it's sold out already. because like that's by Philly. So I know everyone who's coming is a toaster. But when you perform at a casino, you get out on the casino email list.

Yeah. To like the VIPs that, you know, the locals. And so when I was in Casino Rama, I would say there was probably like 800 people there in a place that filled 3,000. So it felt very small. And I would say about 200 of them were toasters. And the rest were just like, what is this? Did they did they enjoy themselves you know what I've done worse shows like I think I really captivated the people who had no idea like who I am or what I was doing you have to know who

you're talking to because if I'm in a toasty crowd I could just be like RDH and everyone would be like yeah but like if I'm in front of normal human beings and they're like RDH like what you have to like explain it yeah so not to make this whole celine jean shutdown about myself i just do have a lot of theatrical experience sorry but the good news is her world tour is still scheduled to resume on march 9th so she'll be back on the road if you want to go see her i'm following her around for sure yeah it's crazy that that was the last concert that i've been to. So she's going back out on March 9th. We literally went to her concert on March 5th.

It will be two years that she'll be off the road. That's insanity. I'm so excited to get to a concert. That's really what I miss most in life. So you're not going to come to Luke Holmes next month, right? No. And that kills me. I'm going to have to go I'm gonna have

to throw your phone out put my phone in a drawer and like not ever look like I will literally have tears in my eyes every time snitch goes to a concert that like I would you know have wanted to go to it is the hardest thing that's the only thing that gives me FOMO and that's like the what I'm so looking forward to doing after when I can yeah I mean not to rub it in I'm so looking forward to doing when I can. After your pregnancy. Yeah. I mean, not to rub it in, I'm so fucking excited for Luke Holmes. Two nights. We're going on both nights

at Madison Square Garden. You're just like... So proud of my friend, Luke, first of all. You're not allowed to talk about it. I'm sorry. That's fair. That's fair.

Like you... No, 100%. When I'm not on the show, talk about it. It's just that is going to... Look at you mean. What? I just...

It's going to break my heart. I wouldn't... Did I say it? you said I couldn't talk about it? I didn't say one word. I just made an excited gesture to the camera. I'm allowed to be excited. Okay, I'm done. Okay, next story. Kristen Cavallari is calling her split with Jay Cutler

probably the best decision that she ever made. On Caitlin Berth's podcast. Yes, Kristen Cavallari is calling her split with Jay Cutler probably the best decision that she ever made on Caitlin Berth's podcast yes Kristen Cavallari went on off the vine and she is opening up about her split with Jay Cutler saying it was probably the brightest and saddest time of her life she said there's been times over the last 18 months where I'm like is this the right decision Jay and I actually went on a couple of dates like months and months and months ago she was like we did but then I was like it's not there for me anymore so I guess they split up and then like she was having second the thoughts and so she was like let's see each other again and it was like nope she said the thing with Jay is we aren't getting our divorce because of love lost which made it really challenging because we were

crazy about each other and so I just decided I didn't want to be in a toxic relationship anymore and I had to break it off but that's made it hard and made me sit here and question it for a few months but then going back and dating him a little bit made me reaffirm it like no I know that I'm doing the right thing then also she talks about what we've been we're talking about this week like the divorce and her children and like what is the right path and she said that she wanted her kids to see her happy and believes that they're better off with their parents going their separate ways she said I don't want my kids growing up thinking that this is a good relationship because I got to see my mom get remarried and in a good relationship so I knew what one was right so an interesting POV on this

discussion yeah and she also was basically like if we didn't have kids I would never see this man again but like I have to and honestly that's that you know what she's so funny no because you know what like that did you ever see marriage story no is that what it's called yeah what's that one on hbo right now scenes of a marriage okay it was like these two people just fucking hated each other so fucking much and it's like you hate someone that much you would never want to see them but you have to see them every fucking day they're in your life forever they are your family divorce is so difficult like i i can't imagine like and that's what she was saying like basically i think she's saying he's a fucking nut and i've now come to you know realize that and i

never want to see him again oh but we share share three kids and we see each other every day. Yeah. That's horrible. Oh, I didn't get to the part where she alludes to that he's a fucking nut. Well, that's just what I gathered from the clips that I saw and from what you just said. She said she was in a toxic relationship. Interesting. Interesting.

I mean, you know, part of me will always ship what can I say no me too I thought they were a great couple and like they had a show her show and like even though that he definitely like came off weird sorry that wasn't the fifth story I don't know why I'm putting your iPad away getting excited I know it's always the best feeling when I can tuck it away um their relationship always like came off as like really funny and quirky on the show not like other relationships not like I will probably like a ton of others on the show not like other relationships not like probably like a ton of others but it like worked for them you know and the fact that they were like showing you that side of like jay and her it's like okay so that's good yeah but it wasn't good

you know yeah but you know what a plus reporting from caitlin bristow yeah great guest great questions making news you'd love to see podcasts. Making news. Making headlines. You absolutely do. Are you ready now for our fifth and final story? Is it delivery outside the door for us? Yes.

more annie content coming soon it's been a while since we got excited about annie even though you know what it's my job to be honest with you. I know that we have overhyped this. No, that's what I was going to say. I just think I've lost a lot of the joie de vivre that I had for Annie. I did too. Once we started telling other people about it and other people were like... And hearing it out loud, like not within the confines of this studio. They were like, that sounds like... They were like Nicole Scherzinger? Nothing of the sort. From pussy hotels why not hugh jackman literally so i agree i definitely lost some of my zest for annie but i want to get it back because it was exciting to be excited about something and what is it big when and where is it premiering december 2nd on nbc annie live

Okay, let's talk about Only Murders in the Building. Okay, okay. Because a 10th episode premiered. We know who killed Tim Kono. Spoiler alert. There will be major spoilers here because the show is over

and now we're going to be talking about it okay so Jan's a killer and to be honest like I really didn't see that coming and even like last week's episode when it was like she's not the first bassoonist and they found the bassoon cleaner I'm like there must be some sort of explanation and then it really did turn out to be her and she was very good actress like very diabolical loved it all loved the ending like him being on the drugs and honestly, when he stood up out of that,

hysterical. So funny. But the thing is with this show is like, I honestly don't even care who, like when you watch a thriller,

like I was just watching Clickbait and I could not wait to get to the end. I'm like, how does this show end? I don't even care. Like,

I just love watching these people like, you know, go on this journey. Like, I'm not so invested in like, who did what?

And now, I see people trying to like put together well who killed bunny if he was wearing the sweatshirt and she stumbled in like I don't care like I just can't wait for next season to see the gang get back together yeah so I loved the way that it ended for two reasons I thought that the murderer was very like a satisfying ending and it made a lot of sense and also now watching it back there were so many clues and you know especially because like once we found out he was poisoned and you know they do say poison is a women's weapon so we should have been able to like narrow it down so I think that felt very satiating that like that was a good killer makes sense wraps it up nicely someone that we know not just like some far-flung character yeah that they throw in so that was great and then two it opened it up for season two

I thought maybe this was just going to be a limited series but now we're going to get more murders in the building I would have loved to have seen like some of the podcast success like yeah do they get a sponsor like is Oliver but like, is Oliver in good financial standing? Right. Because the Demases obviously aren't sponsoring the show anymore. So he got that 30K from Teddy Demas. But then for their finale, like they should have sold it for like, you know, at least 50K.

And like, I just need Oliver to keep his apartment. No, I know. And like, now they're like, under arrest. So I'm like,

are they going to be able to operate their business? And like, now Tina Fey's like coming in trying to steal their podcast. Like I'm making a podcast about them. But like it was their thing. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure they'll get out and they'll do their podcast in season two. I just want to, I just, I'm worried about their financial standing.

Me too. Not Brazos. Not Brazos. When he like was like, I'm doing stage sips i was like yes brazos and then the handkerchief like oh no brazos and it was just a very exciting show i loved it yeah it was so good it was so well done it was so funny selena gomez was amazing like i just have a whole new outlook on her. And she's such a great actress. And she's just a great gal. Like I was just loving her.

I followed her on TikTok this morning. Like I love Selena Gomez. Yeah. I never thought I'd say that. But she hasn't been doing that much promo for the show. Because I was looking at her Instagram. No one has. She doesn't really talk about it.

Literally. But like if I were her, I would be shouting it from the rooftops. This is a work of art. This is the best thing she's done in years. If ever. If ever. It's also the best show in years. So like the fact that it's her thing,

it's so cool. And there's just really something to be said for Steve Martin and Martin Short putting out, I know they've accomplished so much. This is one of the best things I've ever seen them in. And you know, they're both well into their 60s. Like you just love to see two comedians killing it. And it's just so contemporary, like on the nose and like, you know love to see two comedians killing it. And it's just so contemporary.

Like, on the nose. Yes. And, like, you know, the podcast element. It just really. And then do it in a cringy Emily in Paris way. It's hard for shows to, like, capture the essence of a lot of these, like, new age things. And they did it in the best way that I've seen. So, I love books and shows and movies that are about podcasts

it just gives so much credence to the art it gives so much credence to the art I couldn't say it better I don't know why I was trying um okay so I'm like sad it's over but I really that was just like a fun journey and I might even watch it again like yeah and you know what I did watch it like two every two weeks like episodically and it kind of makes it, even though it's frustrating and you just want to know what happens, it does make, you do feel more involved than when you binge it. And like, because even last night I realized I had two episodes to watch. And like, I was like binging it so that we could talk about it today. And it's like, when you binge something, you do sort of like miss out on how you feel

between episodes. That's true. Like where, who you thought did it before you knew this. Like it's nice to have some time to reflect. That's true. And it becomes more in your head. Yeah. For sure.

Vanderpump Rules. So here's the thing. Oh, wait. I want to ask you about last week's episode because do you agree with me about James and Raquel yeah I think they're so fucking cute and nice and like honestly I just don't understand why he keeps saying it's a Tiffany's ring when it's not from Tiffany's um it's like a Tiffany's diamond from his friend so I just need more clarification I'm sure Andy will dive into that at the reunion he asked them on watch what happens live still no clarification

they maintain that it's a Tiffany's diamond with a setting from his friend like so what's a tiffany's diamond i don't know like maybe it's like second hand oh that's the only thing like you know not that he got it like from the real real but like no but like a vintage ring that was from tiffany's and you had diamond is fine and you had to reset he had it reset that's a perfectly reasonable but the thing is they didn't explain it that way so maybe that's not the case that's the only thing I can think of that makes this like logical that's a great explanation they should go with that I think they're great I think that the um proposal was so sweet and really beautifully done I don't understand why Tom Sandoval paid for half of it and like when him and Ariana were having that conversation is she saying like now she will get

married I think she was saying like if you know he did all of that she would say yes to an engagement that doesn't necessarily mean she wants to get married yeah yeah I just like I just cannot stand Tom Sandoval he was probably the worst version of himself I think I don't think he's ever looked worse in an episode than last night's episode. I think the last time he looked that bad was at Stassi's book signing, where he was an animal. And you know what? Who came out of the hero of last night's episode? Ariana.

Ari-fucking-ana. Because you know what? Of course, I love people who stand by their man. But you know what? Sometimes your man needs to be told that he's being wrong. And when it comes from Ariana, I do think it holds a lot of weight, as opposed to coming from Katie or Tom.

Now, the woe of the episode is Tom Sandoval, but it's also Tom motherfucking Schwartz. I cannot stand this man. I don't know how Katie does. If my husband ever threw me under the bus, a fraction of the amount of times that Tom Schwartz does, I would sock him in the face, first of all. Second of all, that conversation was so painful. Basically, what Tom's trying to say is like I don't feel comfortable working with you on the restaurant because in the past you've proven

that you send mean text messages yeah or that like you're unprofessional in professional situations but first of all like that's the show that's the job and it hasn't been that heated and crazy for years and also you should fucking hope that your restaurant is relevant enough to bring in this sort of drama Katie yeah no and like if that's restaurant is relevant enough to bring in this sort of drama. Tequila Katie. Yeah, no. And like, if that's what's going, if what happened in the last six years is going on at your restaurant, that means your restaurant is a success.

And you know what? I just feel like it's so unfair of Tom to like be throwing. Yes, she was, Katie was problematic a couple years ago. And I think she would admit that. Like Tequila Katie, she was like getting really angry when she was drunk and like being mean. And I feel like she doesn't do that anymore so to to bring something up ariana was literally like you're talking about something that happened six years ago like it's irrelevant it's so unfair like if somebody's making progress and like you're bringing up this old thing like that's not fair i

like i actually hate when people do that it bothers me so much right as if people can't grow and change and that even if they do it doesn't matter they're always going to be you're always going to be thinking it by your worst moment and everyone on that show has had completely awful moments like if that's if we never moved on from them and that's really the one of the things that so makes the show work so well weirdly is that they do these awful things to each other to themselves and then tabula rasa they're really able to move on from it so if you want to get stuck in the mud from six years ago that doesn't work on this show so you told me that they came up with a different name what was it i did did someone else tell me every week on watch what happens live andy asks

everyone who's the guest like what they should name it because you don't tell me that they had a name i don't know well katie whiskey whiskey whiskey tom i don't know whiskey some people were suggesting that it be called like cariana cariana something with the girls names and then i'm sure tom sandoval love that oh my god katie maloney suggested once upon a tom oh that's what you told me and that's cute that's so cute you know what katie is actually a great businesswoman she grew up in restaurants she like runs her own successful business she's very good with digital she takes lots of photos she's very artsy I don't think that her being involved would be the worst thing and honestly this whole situation would go away if Tom Schwartz like had any balls he'd be like this is my wife it's our business she's obviously being involved

fuck off he's so annoying the dynamic between the two of them like it used to be like this cute thing when they were just like a a c-line plot yeah but now that it's a line and it's like when they were sitting in Palm Springs and Tom Schwartz was like you did such an amazing job on the Rachel I'm gonna give you the name I was like yeah okay that was so unbelievably lame and and also this like thing Tom Sandoval being extra and came over with that basket like full of vagina candles like and the face mask so he did that's not a personality trait I'm sorry the show is being ruined for me like I could not I can't like so for me like the Rochelle stuff and like him being so extra about James's engagement and then like when it all went

well he was like we did it it's like no it was nothing to do with this it was really weird it was so weird it was so losery and also like he thinks that he is the main character he is single-handedly ruining the show i it's shocking to me like it's so fucking cringy i want to jump out of my skin he's awful like really awful and then so's so fucking cringy. I want to jump out of my skin. I know. He's awful. Like, really. He's awful.

And then, so not only does he do, so if he wants to, you know, spend $12,500 on James' engagement while also taking, like, a mortgage out on his house. I can't watch people who make such dumb financial mistakes. Make those financial decisions.

Like, that's one thing. But then he also acts like an absolute psychopath later in the episode to Katie. And now I'm like, oh, okay, so you're annoying and you're evil. Goodbye. No, and it's like you're actually making really bad decisions.

Like the name, the finances, like you're like actually, if there's any reason that this restaurant isn't like successful or taking off yet, it's because you are in charge. Like that's why. So to come at Katie who's just trying to be helpful, and I get it's annoying when you have ideas and someone is being constructive and it's just like basically tearing your ideas down but a bad idea is a bad idea also they have Tom Tom which is like a swanky west Hollywood joint that's named after them if they want this new restaurant to be a little bit different and stand

apart like they should incorporate their wives they should make it like if so it's like Lisa would always say and I actually thought it was a good reference she would say they look bonk is where you take your wife sir is where you take your mistress pump is where you take your boyfriend and then i think tom tom would be where you take your girlfriends yeah and once upon a tom should be where you go on a double date like yeah where you know fun group fun so Jenga it's the he should be leaning into things that make this different from Tom Tom because I don't know that there's that enough to go around in this day and age of people who want to go to Tom Tom part two and they just after sir and pump and people who want to go to Tom Tom but like couldn't get in that night yeah no I mean this

restaurant storyline is actually so uninteresting just because Sandoval's taking it over. But the Sheena and Brock thing is actually really interesting. And, like, I do feel really bad for Sheena. And also, like, I kind of, like, like Brock. Like, I think that he brings good energy. And I do think he's 100% right about Sheena's mom. Like, I get that it's your mom. But, like, if we're paying someone on salary, like, I can wake up early and go to the gym and play pickleball because we have someone on salary like I can wake up early and go to the gym play pickleball because

we have someone on salary like and it's just awkward that it's Sheena's mom but like that's what it is yeah that that didn't bother me so much about it when I said that last week like him going to play pickleball and like he because he's like striving to win and do his best with the group it was cute to me cute cute Cute. So I actually really did side with him on like the Sheena's mom stuff. And obviously it's fucking weird that he hasn't seen his kids in four years. And like, I guess, okay,

two years under the pandemic. So like two years. But he moved to America to have a better life. Like he wasn't living like in the desert. He was living in Australia. No, and also he, they said he moved to America to give a better life to his kids but like is he sending money is he sending money home to australia is his wife former wife accepting money because she has a new

husband i don't know who's married and who's not but is their money being exchanged otherwise you're just in america for yourself yeah it feels like he moved to America and like is relieved of the fact that his ex-wife has a new husband he really filled in like the step dad role and like the kids are being taken care of yeah but like it's bizarre and I really want to like him like I actually think he's like funny and I like when he like when he was talking about his how his thighs are so big at SoulCycle like I like I think he's very different and interesting but I cannot get past this and Lala's 100% right to like to be telling Sheena all this because I know Sheena doesn't want to hear it but Sheena knows that she's right too yeah and how strange about summer and winter

oh my god Lala was like if if my husband ever left and named her his kid like it's so weird it's crazy and like Sheena's lying that she always wanted to name her kid summer because she know we know she wanted to name her kid madison marie parks valetta but she said that that was rob's name that's what she said on watch what happens live because of course like andy asked her yeah do you see james and raquel on watch what happens live last night i watched like up until the first commercial break and they were they were doing a lot first of all raquel found her voice she said that Katie is getting involved in the business because she's bored at home not good that's also just like not correct not good

and she is a very successful podcast she also said that um they're just like completely team Tom the two of them and of course they have to be they were asked about Lala and Randall and James said he really didn't know anything. But every time Andy asked a shady question, which it should just be called, like, watch shade happen live. Watch shade happen live. And James, like, always, like, hesitated. Was, like, about to give, like, the shady answer. And then, like, said the nice thing because I don't think he wants issues with Lala.

Yeah. But, like, there's something there. Yeah. I mean, like,. And then like said the nice thing. Because I don't think he wants issues with Lala. But like there's. Something. Something there. Yeah. I mean like I really do like James and Raquel. And you know Tom Sandoval is actually so far up James's ass. Of course James would be on his side.

I'm so team Katie. Like it hurts. Yeah. No I'm so team Katie. This season just on every level. Like of course. She's being hilarious. She's being hilarious. Like no one wants wants to be there, least of all her.

And she's just giving us everything by giving us nothing. But you know what? It was really interesting just to hear even Lisa mention Stassi and Jax and Brittany. Like, it was crazy. And you know what? I think a lot of us have wondered, like, if Katie wants kids. And I'm, like, really sad for her that she, she like had spent a lot of COVID trying and never got there and it's just like people are so annoying when they ask that question but hearing Lisa like even just speak of like the

dead cast members I'm like what it was crazy it was shocking and I was like I was glad that she said it because it's like we're all thinking obviously it's not it's one thing if it was just Sheena and Lala like those aren't even Katie's closest friends but when you add in Brittany and Sassy yes everyone around her did just have a baby and we just do need to acknowledge that yeah in telling the whole story yeah I thought that was and then also they were referring back to Sassy's book signing like it was just crazy to hear her name yeah it was um okay so that was Vanderpump Girls and then Impeachment Jackie it's so fucking good and last night's episode was the part where like the media takes on monica and it was so sad and it

really got me thinking like two things one how wonderful that there was no internet because she was glued to the television like watching late night and like it's so crazy because this was like not even long ago and the things that like jay leno and like dave letterman who everyone's like dave letterman the things they were saying like were so fucking evil and it's just it's not even like it was that long ago but the fact that there was no internet is such a blessing for Monica like I can't imagine how much worse it could have been but like they they did an SNL skit about Monica and Linda and like Linda was like this heavy woman and like John Goodman played her and like you just see Linda like Linda's the fucking worst, but you see her in her house

watching John Goodman pretend to be her. It's so sad. So while it's crazy, I mean, it's so much better that it happened without the internet. I do think a lot of the shit that flew back in the 90s would never have flown today.

The narrative just basically being like, Monica's legs, Monica this, Monica that. When it's like, no, Bill, Bill this, Bill that. Yeah. So I think that like, it would have been better if it had happened now,

but it also would have been worse because of the internet. So it's like more content, but the narrative would never have been like, you know, Bill Clinton could get any man in the world and he wanted Monica, like gross,

like shit like that. And it was just, Beat Me did a really good job. It was actually a really sad episode that's making me really sad they put on like on the tv like the real snl skit i had never seen it molly shannon played monica and john goodman played linda trip and it was actually really sad to watch like and beanie monica like what was i couldn't get off she had to watch everything that she couldn't stop and yeah it's just so good like I really recommend it there's three more episodes I'm gonna try and

like batch them up but I'm just and Ben is hooked I'm gonna I'll watch maybe when there's two left so that I can like come in slide right into home that's nice um so that's really all she wrote you have anything else you want to say before my departure?
