Good morning, Millennials. Good morning. Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Thursday. I didn't realize I was going to be doing a solo good morning. Good morning. Oh, was I supposed to do that with you? It's okay. It's whatever you want to do. Good morning, Ben. We can do it again. Good morning. Good morning, Jackie. Today feels like Thursday. I was going to say it feels like it's been Thursday like every day this week. And like I've been waiting for Friday, so I'm really happy that it's Thursday. But then it just came out that it feels like Thursday. And that's good because it is Thursday. That is good that it feels the way it is. Yes, exactly.

How are you? I'm good. Welcome to the toast. Thank you. We haven't done a Bwonsh Swans show together. In quite some time. In quite some time. So this is going to be very fun.

It's going to be great. And we have three days of Bwunge and Swunge. Yes. Three days of Bwunge and Swunge. I can't say Bwunge and Swunge today. It's, you know, the countdown because Claudia's out of town. She landed in Rome. Everything's looking fabulous. You know, she's at the Trevi Fountain. She found friends to take pictures of her. Very happy for her. I can confirm that she's currently napping. She's currently napping. That's good. She had her day. She took her scooter through the fountains

and now has retired to her quarters and is asleep. Good. I'm happy for her. She needs her sleep. She does. She works incredibly hard and she needs her sleep. I can also confirm that she slept the entire flight. Yes. I think she had a very good flight cadence.

She got very lucky. Yeah, she planned it. Like, she was texting us, like, asking when should I go to sleep. No, but she planned it poorly, but because her flight was delayed, it was excellent. That's true. You know? Are you having FOMO that you're not there? Yeah.

Not real FOMO. I'm sad because it's a dear, dear friend's wedding. And I really wanted to be there. But you wanted to be at the toast more. Got to work. And I wanted to be on the toast. So like you just you can't miss four days in the middle of October just to gallivant to Italy. It just doesn't work like that.

I understand. It just doesn't work like that. I understand. I wish, though. I really do. Yeah, I do. Especially, I mean. Well, you get to be here instead and I think, I think that's where you're meant to be. No, it's, it's great here. It's great here. The air conditioning is great. This chair is like fucking, the word that Claudia likes to use, turnt. We were just talking before

the show started about these couches because it's not something that Claudia and I have ever publicly addressed, but these couches are crazy. Crazy couches! Oh my god, my voice. They work for Claudia and I because we're short, but anytime someone of, you know, average to big-sized comes on the show, it's

Elf. It's that scene in Elf with Will Ferrell in the classroom. Yeah. And, you know, they're just like sinking. They're sinking. And now that I'm like pregnant, I notice it more because it's like everything's a struggle. Like getting out of this couch is a struggle. Ben wants us to get new couches and I don't think we're there yet. But your complaint has been filed.

Yeah. I'm just sliding a bit to the right. Like I'm sinking into the corner. So like if at some point in the show I'm like this, it's not my fault. Okay, I understand. Yeah, you got to like use your core. Yeah. Hold yourself upright.

Honestly, that's a good call. It's like I'm at the gym. Yeah. Just like holding tight. The exact same thing. Identical. So we have a great show for you today. Ben is going to be helping me deliver

the fast five stories we're going to recap we me real housewives of beverly hills reunion you guys i'm really shook and i'm feeling conflicted okay i'll talk you through it when did that show air last night ah yeah yeah you had no chance of watching it with claudia out of town i mean i also have no chance of watching it because you don't respond to your texts. Oh, Ben's upset with me. I did specifically text Jackie at 5 p.m. yesterday saying, is there anything I can watch in preparation for this show? You sent that at 5 p.m.? Check. I thought you sent it this morning when you were having breakfast. Nope. And this goes further into my complaint that you are the worst texter on planet Earth. Okay, you did text me after you said you would bring me an espresso for tomorrow's show.

I never saw you said, do you want me to watch anything in preparation? I never saw that you said that. And then you said it again this morning when you were having breakfast. All good. Sorry. Jackie often forgets to pay her phone bill, so it just shuts. And then two days later, she pays her Verizon bill and poof. No, I'm constantly ignoring Ben's texts.

That one I did not ignore. I actually did not see. It's fine. I forgive you. But I would have answered something like that. And I wouldn't have asked you to watch anything because without context, you would have been confused. Interesting. So regardless I'll explain it to you and I watched the season premiere of Winter House which is Summer House plus Southern Charm go to Vermont for 17 days with some of their non-famous friends who are now going to be famous. They go together. They all go

into one house it's like 12 people, one house, Vermont. Interesting. Yeah. And they go for 17 days and they film the 17 days and they cut it up into a show. Yep. They were desperate for content in COVID. So that was the idea they came up with. Pretty good idea.

We'll talk about the execution in the TV recap segment because I'm not convinced. And I didn't realize that this wasn't where Craig and Paige fell in love. And that's why I tuned in to like see their love blossom but I don't think they even talked to each other the entire show so that's really frustrating. Sounds frustrating. Yeah. Cool. Anyways we'll get to all of that. I mean we could jump right into the past five stories but it seems premature. It seems too early. Yeah. So what else do you want to talk about? I mean let's talk about you. How are you doing? How's Spritz Society doing? I'm doing excellent. Spritz Society is great. We actually received a 95 out of 100

on PureWow yesterday. Wow. Can you tell us what that means? Yeah. PureWow gave us like an unbelievable, unbelievable write-up where they scored taste, convenience, quality, and they scored us a 95 out of 100, 20 out of 20 for taste. They said that the grapefruit could replace a Paloma. Wow. I'm just saying. That's pretty crazy. That's big stuff. That's pretty crazy. So Spritz is going great. We need to get you in a photo shoot.

Like we need Jackie in a winter photo shoot. I would love that bump and all bump and all okay we could stack the boxes on your bump like we could you could be like a circus like you know like a circus act exactly I don't know if that's what you want out of your bump but I don't know if that's what the bump is for but anyway I can help push product yeah no I mean just just you and just you and stuff always, code TOAST for 10% off of Spritz Society at SpritzSociety.com. Yes, code TOAST for 10% off. Yeah, it's going great. It's fun. It's just like, what a wild ride. So glad to hear that. I was actually thinking about you

last night because I watched the New York City mayoral debate, which aired last night. I don't know if anybody knew that. I just happened to stumble upon it. And it was just very exciting, you know, because regardless of who wins, Bill de Blasio will no longer be mayor. And that is very exciting for the city, for you, for the people. I just couldn't see you. And I wanted to see you as I discuss this very important topic. Whoever wins is better.

I agree. That's the best part. That's the best part. It's looking up no matter how you slice it, I think. You could literally have a five-year-old run and go in office and just like sit there and smile and it would be better. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, but you were giving me some of your takes on last night's mayoral debate or how are you feeling? I'm feeling optimistic, honestly. Well, one, I really don't think it can get worse. I don't want to jinx it, you know, like you think it doesn't get worse and then it does.

But I really think that we have two strong candidates. They were talking some good ideas last night. And I think it's going to be looking up for New York City. It's impossible that it gets worse unless we literally elect Adolf Hitler and we go into, like, 1940s Germany for the Jews. Oh, my God. That really is. I know it's a hot take. There are people pissing and shitting in the streets.

As of this morning, somebody sent me a video. Every day I get this, like. Do you get so many DMs? I get flooded. My DMs are all de Blasio. Are they all, like, flooded with images of, like, New York City trash? It's trash, but it's also news. So this morning there was a couple that had sex on the subway.

Okay. And by the way, the headline was so funny. It's like unvaccinated and unmasked couple has sex on the subway. It's like, would it not have been news if they were vaccinated and masked? So if they're vaccinated and masked, but they're having sex on the subway, that's fine. It's they're vaccinated and masked but they're having sex on the subway that's fine it's good very strange um but yes having sex on the subway and somebody sent me it's like a video of them like pumping on the subway uh saying ben you need to run for mayor and it's like it's time you think it's time i think it's not time one day i would love to okay it's not. It's good to have dreams.

It's good to have goals. It's a dream. Just like, what the hell are they doing? What's he doing? I don't know. What is he doing? I don't know. It's a train wreck.

For the first time yesterday, so I went to the Knit game last night. And I went down through Times Square. I guess I hadn't been through Times Square in like six months. The lights are blinding. Like you need to wear sunglasses. Yeah. And honestly, there needs to be like a warning at 50th Street. Like beware of migraines like as you cross down.

Because it's such a, it's such different lighting. And all of a sudden you're just smacked in the face by LG. I guess that's like an irrelevant comment. But just whoever runs for mayor next. You need to get glasses that have like auto shades. Transitions. Transition lenses, because this is something that clearly affects you. Yeah, that is just like, I'm not willing to be that big of a loser.

And like, I'm sorry. If I am the guy with transition lenses, the problem with transition lenses is when you're caught in the middle of the two. So there's a time when you're mid-transition and somebody catches you, you look just so special. Okay, I want to say a few things. One, I think that you could pull it off.

You wear Crocs, you like ugly things. Oh my God! You have terrible fashion sense. You know like you could make transition lenses cool and I do think like transition lenses were at their most embarrassing like when you're in the playground you know and your parents pick them out for you and you're going inside and everybody's lenses you know like but if you're making the choice as a grown man you know like but if you're making the choice as a grown man i think you have to just own it lisa own it it's actually such a good call every parent that puts their five-year-old in transition lenses should be shot on the spot it's so mean they are those poor kids crazy those poor kids are ruined

okay what's what what percentage of kids do you think were punched in the face on the playground that wore transition lenses? I don't know because I never wore glasses growing up. So I don't associate with glasses problems. Like I only know transition lenses are illusory from like you other people telling me. Jackie. But wait, let me ask you what's worse. You know they're illusory, not from me.

I think it's a cool piece of technology. Okay. Let me ask you what's worse for a kid on the playground. technology okay let me ask you what's worse for a kid on the playground transition lens lenses or like the glasses that have the little clip of sunglasses like i know what you're talking about your glasses 100 transition lenses they are so so sad for poor little johnny who's being beaten up by chuck like big fat chuck as he comes down the slide, and Chuck's just waiting for him, and he pounds him into the ground. But what if Big Fat Chuck was wearing transition lenses?

Big Fat Chuck then would not be Big Fat Chuck. Big Fat Chuck would be just like that sad fat kid that's now a member of the chess club. His life completely changes. A parent changes their child's life when they put him in transition lenses. But you could be the pioneer for transitioning transition lenses. I could. And so many kids would look up to you.

I could. You could make them cool on your Instagram story. I could. And then they would come home from getting picked on. They'd watch your story and then be like, Ben wears transition lenses. It's okay. I could. I don't know if that's going to be the hill that I'm going to die on

and what I'm going to pioneer. I think I'm down to pioneer something for today's youth. I don't think it's going to be transition lenses. I think they need to be retired. Honestly, I think that it should be like smoking. You can't wear transition lenses until you're 18 and you can make the choice for yourself.

And you have to wear a label. Your parents can't force you to wear transition lenses. Wow. You feel really strongly about this. Yeah, it's just not nice. Okay. It's like naming your daughter Bertha. Well, we could, you could think about it. Just think about what I proposed. I'll think about it. Next time you're going through

Times Square, you'll be thinking about it. I'll think about it. Okay. Cool. Well, I guess now without further ado, we could get into the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast we do have a machine that makes i know but i prefer it and did i beat it you did beat the machine yes well that should be a game beat the machine yeah and you won yeah nice you guys should Yeah, I need one. Yeah, nice. You get a free pair of transition lenses. You guys should make, you know those TikTok Snapchat filters where you have to time it up perfectly?

Yes, more like when you do the clap. Yeah, and you have to time it to the second. You should do it with the bite. Okay. Oh my God, I'm a marketing genius. Thank you for this great idea. Thank you for this great idea. I think that this show is just gonna take off with that. Beat the crunch. Beat the crunch. Oh my god it's actually so good.

That's really cute. Yeah. Okay well let's get into the fast five stories but I do need to let you know that today's episode is brought to you by Bruch. Bruch. Okay. Bruch is the official toothbrush of the morning toast. The tooth bruch of the morning. Tooth bruch. Yes. Tooth bruch. We love bruch. I've been bruching for over a year. My teeth, my shiny teeth and me are just on and popping and you need to get bruch. Not only is it the best toothbrush, electric toothbrush on the market, it's affordable. It has six unique modes to customize your brushing experience, a four-week battery life with a magnetic charging stand, and a compact travel case. I personally have my home bruch and my travel bruch, and it's just a level of luxury that I can't even explain. You get a subscription program, so you never forget to change your

brush head again. You're not using like a brush that you've been using for months and months, because that's pretty nasty. Plus Plus it has a sleek design. They have modern aesthetically pleasing trend driven colors for my home toothbrush. I have a light pink and for my travel toothbrush, I have a mauve and it's just sickening really nice color. But you could also get black if you, you know,

Bruch has the toothbrush foruce for you so get 15 off your bruce toothbrush kit and refill plan when you use promo code toast at bruce.com slash toast that's 15 off using promo code toast at b-r-u-u-s-h.com slash toast get your teeth right smile is gleaming with bruce. Everything of the sort, truly. You mentioned that you have both an at-home toothbrush and a travel toothbrush.

I do. I thought, maybe I'm just totally alone in this. I buy a toothbrush everywhere I go on vacation. So I don't travel with a toothbrush. I used to be like that. I actually could one-up you in an even worse capacity. I used to not bring a toothbrush and I would just use X when we would travel.

Ah. Yeah. But then Bruch came out with their new trend-driven seasonal colors and I got a second Bruch and I was like, you know what? I'm going to be proactive. I'm putting this in my compact with all my travel bottles and stuff.

That way I always have a toothbrush with me when I travel. Yeah, that's pretty good. No, and it's amazing. And that way my teeth don't suffer. You also don't spend the amount of money that I spend on toothbrushes every year because I just buy them wherever I go. I spend a lot of money on toothbrushes. Yeah. No, it's everything of the sort.

Okay, let's get into the stories because we have a nice array of stories first up an update in the gabby petito case human remains have been found in the search for brian laundry along with his backpack and notebook authority searching a florida park for brian laundry have discovered human remains along with a backpack and notebook belonging to the 23 year old fugitive people confirms michael mcpherson of fbi tampa announced the news during a wednesday press conference he did not confirm whether the remains found in the park were laundries the area in which the remains were found had previously been underwater mcpherson said an evidence response team is on the scene and likely will be there for days. So this is pretty, you know, suspect and also interesting. And this is the first update that we've had in a while. I do feel like people,

I'm not the expert on this case. You know, Claudia and I will say we're not the true crime podcast queens that so many others are. But I think a lot of people are finding this to be quite suspect and they're not convinced. What do you think? Have you been following this case? Following is a strong, strong word. I'm aware of this case. Okay.

I'm aware. I think that, and I even mentioned it to you this morning, I think that until they confirm that it's his remains, it like it's us it's us i agree like you find how long has he been missing he's been missing since september 13th so over almost a month and a half got it and we just find his backpack and his stuff and some tings like like perfectly next to his remains not his even i'm saying perfectly next to remains like haven't they been searching that park night and day forever well it was apparently underwater oh so it just came up it seems seems like a movie yeah i i'm not convinced we'll see the remains you know they'll test them and we'll see if they are a match. I'm not convinced that this is where the story ends, though. Right?

Yeah. I mean, regardless, terrible story. Yes. Terrible story. But it is optimistic to have an update because we hadn't heard much in a while. Wasn't the thinking, if I'm remembering this case correctly, that he killed his girlfriend? Yeah. Allegedly.

Perhaps. But then he drowned in a river? He allegedly could have potentially killed his girlfriend. Then he went back home to Florida and, like, didn't report her missing, even though they were, like, on a road trip together. And then, you know, that started to look quite sus. And then he went missing. But I think intentionally. He intentionally went missing and killed himself is the thought.

No, I don't know about that. I'm just saying like this might just. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Okay. He could be hiding. Now this makes more sense. This could be someone else's remains. It seems like these are definitely somebody else's remains.

He put the backpack and jacket there so that backpack and jacket there. So it would seem like he's there, but really he's partying it up in some other country. He's fled the scene. That's my take without having much information. But also people also think like his parents are covering for him. There's a lot of possibilities. That would make sense. He's like the most wanted man in America right now.

Damn. All right. So then they should probably check the remains. Yeah. I think that would be a good place to start. Yeah. I think that they're on it. Okay.

They're on it. So we'll keep you posted. Okay. Cool. But it's some new news. I know Claudia was getting frustrated that we hadn't, you know, nothing had turned up yet. Ah. Yeah. Okay. Well, it seems, nothing had turned up yet. Ah, yeah. Okay.

Well, it seems like nothing has turned up in general. Perhaps. Potentially. Yeah. This is like the way to new news. We're on the ship. It hasn't docked. Yeah.

No. And a lot of ships haven't docked. I'm sure you've seen. No. The ships are out at sea. The ships are out at sea. Oh, yeah. Are you ready for our next story?

Of course. Some exciting TV news. Khloe Kardashian reveals a possible premiere date for their family's new Hulu show. Khloe went on the Ellen DeGeneres show and teased when the new reality show will potentially hit Hulu. When host Ellen asked when the new show might premiere, Khloe replied, I think in a few months, either end of January early February Ellen said that's fast she said really fast that's the beauty of Hulu we're streaming and we get to have a much quicker turnaround than previously we're really excited okay this is something Claudia and I have been really highly anticipating and I just assume that like with the Hulu show it was like never

gonna come out and we would just never see it I don't know why but Claudia was saying that we actually would probably get it in a quicker turnaround time than we used to get Keeping Up on E so this is so exciting yeah sorry I was just cracking my neck I happen to love that show I find it very entertaining and I really did like I know some people didn't like it it got so incredibly premium in terms of the video quality as the seasons went on. Like the last Keeping Up with the Kardashians seasons were so high def. Yeah. I just think it's a very good reality show, clearly well funded. And I assume that the Hulu version will be even more premium because it's Hulu.

Yeah. Agreed. By the way, new Hulu, new Lu. New, okay. Nice, right? Yeah, we'll add that to one of your free ideas. Yeah, I think we should do new Lu and the Kroonch bar. Okay, we'll start. We'll of your free ideas. Yeah, I think we should do Lulu and the Kroonch bar. Okay, we'll start.

We'll keep a list. Okay, cool. Also, I want to get your take because I'm sure you saw that Courtney and Travis got engaged. Oh, yeah. And how do you feel? Like, Travis is one of your emo kings now. I feel awesome. I feel awesome because I really feel like, and I've been reading.

I'm actually quite educated on this topic. feel like and I've been reading I'm actually quite educated on this topic I was reading Courtney's comments under their engagement announcement and a lot of people are saying that like he changed her she only wears black and it's like isn't it possible that Travis Barker like all of the other just like great pop punk emo people just inspire people to be themselves like isn't it like this was always the real Courtney or she's just happy in general like I think that he takes so much societal pressure off of her by being somebody that is fully tatted in a band like doing his thing like he just he does what he wants he doesn't like Travis Barker is like the the pinnacle of just self-confidence and not doing things for the

wrong reasons and I feel like he's pushed that on to Courtney maybe for the first time in her life like she's being the person like throughout all of the seasons especially the most recent ones the common thread is she feels like she's being forced to do things that she doesn't want to do. She's being forced to do the show. She's being forced to do these photo shoots. And like finally it's not her. It's not her. Like this seems like it's her.

Like she's found somebody that isn't dying to be on the show. Like isn't dying to just like take her fame. Right. Like he's so damn famous and awesome in his in his own right of course he's going to benefit from this but um I think that she I think it's amazing and I think that she's in a really great place it seems like that's so beautiful Ben I really like your take on that I would agree with you and I think it's just you know they've been together for like nine months and they got engaged. She was with Scott for like almost 10 years and like wouldn't marry him.

And it's like because she knows herself and she knows what she was looking for and she found it. It wasn't a matter of like time or, you know, not long enough. It was just like a feeling. And I think she's found that feeling. Yeah, for somebody like her, she doesn't want somebody that's just going to just like be the exact same person that the rest of her family is. I think that she wants her own life. And I think he gives her that separate life away from just... Yeah, she has her own thing now.

Has her own thing. And she's never had her own thing. Yeah, I hear you. I think you're spitting facts. Okay, cool. That's my take. I think it's really beautiful. Okay, thank you. Are you ready for our facts. Okay, cool. That's my take. I think it's really beautiful. Okay, thank you.

Are you ready for our next story? I am. Simone Biles gets emotional discussing the twisties on the Today Show. She said, I'm still scared to do gymnastics. So Simone went on the Today Show, and she's sharing insight into her personal struggles during this year's summer games in Tokyo. She removed herself from four out of five events

due to a case of the twisties, a disorienting condition athletes can experience when they lose air awareness, putting them at risk for injury when they land. She explained at the time that she withdrew from the competition to focus on her mental health, saying on social media that her mind and body are simply not in sync. While appearing on the Today Show today, Biles got emotional with host Hoda as she expressed frustration in seeing other athletes able to perform moves she no emotional with host Hoda as she expressed frustration in seeing other athletes able to perform moves she no longer can. Hoda asked whether Biles still experiences the twisties while performing on the road for the Athleta Presents Gold Over America Tour alongside other

top gymnasts. She said, I don't twist. I do my signature moves on the floor, but that's never affected me. Everything else just like weighs so heavy and I watch the girls do it and it's just, it's not the same. Hoda asked if that's weird and she said yeah to do something that I've done forever and just not be able to do it because of everything I've gone through is really crazy because I love this sport so much but it's hard. I'm sorry and I don't think people understand the magnitude of what I go through. It's a very sad story. I'll tell you why it's so sad for me. Just to bring in some more sports because I know you guys don't get enough sports and by the way It's a very sad story. I'll tell you why it's so sad for me. Just to bring in some more sports, because I know you guys don't get enough sports.

And by the way, there are a lot of sporty toasters out there. There are, and I actually saw we got a question for you. Let's talk about Simone, and then we'll do our official sports segment. But for the people watching that like sports, there's a basketball player. His name is Markel Fultz. Incredible in college. Was drafted number one. Forgot how to shoot. Came to the NBA

and forgot how to shoot. He was an unbelievable shooter. They retrained him to shoot and his form was never the same and he stinks. And that is just, I think, what's sort of happening here. Well, when you say forgot how to shoot,

what does that mean? I think it's similar to the twisties. Like, I think you just get in your own head and all of a sudden you just can't do what you did. Yeah. Like, you're, there's mental blockers that are stopping you from performing at your best. Yeah. And I think, I remember, like, I mean, obviously the story from the Olympics and, like, the way that it came out, it was so mental health focused that she just quit because of her mental health. The twisties are super dangerous. Like I think about that all the time. If you're not all the time, I'm not always thinking about this,

but I think about it occasionally. And it's like when you jump up and you're spinning your heads, like you could, you could die. Like you could fall on your head and snap your neck. So if you're uncomfortable in the air, you definitely should not be performing that trick yeah and to hear that she's still going through that really sucks yeah because it's I have a feeling it's impossible to get out of at least judging by the Markel Fultz example once you sort of lose it you lose it oh I mean I I don't know and it'll be interesting to see I mean I don't think she'll be competing again just because like she's already done so much and she doesn't need to and I think I think since the Olympics so much of the other like mental elements that were playing a part in

her performance have really come to light like especially especially, you know, last month with the Larry Nassar hearing in Congress and all of the girls speaking and like how she really felt this responsibility to still show up to the Olympics to remind USA Gymnastics, like there are still victims of Larry Nassar who are here and like we need justice. And that is so much pressure to put on yourself. And I think, I think people even now have more of an understanding of what she might've been going through in Tokyo. For sure. And so I'm, I'm, I'm glad that she's providing even more clarity, but it's, it's a very, it's very sad. Very sad because she, I mean, she is amazing, but she was an amazing gymnast. Yeah. The GOAT. The GOAT. The GOAT.

but she was an amazing gymnast. Yeah. The GOAT. The GOAT. The GOAT. Yeah, well, get well soon. Yeah. I mean, I hope she returns to form.

But it's interesting. It's like, does she really retire on this? Like, I know she's super decorated, but, like, if it was me, I would do everything that I could to try and go out the way that I wanted to go out. So I'm sure that she will perform again because...

Okay, this was a question that we got for you because last week, Claudia and I were discussing our Super Bowl predictions. And as it stands right now, who do you think will be playing each other in the Super Bowl? Who will be playing each other in the Super Bowl? That's a tough, tough question. Yeah, there's, you know, it's just speculation. Claudia said Bills versus Bucks. Bills, Bucks.

That's a very possible prediction. That's what people said. I said Seahawks versus Bucs. That is a very difficult. Are they in the same division? They are in the same division. Yeah, so that's impossible. Zach said it's impossible, but I also think that something will happen that will force two teams in the same division to play against each other.

Interesting. So that is one of the worst takes I've ever heard. That is actually impossible. Okay, every team that I think of is in the same division. Yeah, so that's why I was bringing out my phone. Let me just give you a couple of teams that you can pick from. Okay. Okay, so AFC, Buffalo, New England, sorry, Bills, Patriots, Jets, Dolphins.

Any of them? Do you like any of them? Claudia took the Bills, and I think they're having a nice go of it. I don't like any of them. Okay. What about the Panthers? The Panthers are just not good. It's just a bad call. Even with Christian McCaffrey?

Yeah. And his love for Olivia Colpo? Yeah, it's just not good. Okay. It's just not good. Okay. All right, I'm making my bold take just because I love— Actually, oh, wait, sorry. just not good. Okay. Okay. It's just not good. Okay. Alright, I'm making my bold take, just because I love, actually, oh wait, sorry, we were doing

your take. Okay. Ravens, Bengals, Steelers, Browns, Titans, Colts, Texans, Jaguars, Chargers, Raiders, Broncos, Chiefs. They're all so similar. You like any of those?

You know what, maybe I'll take the Raiders. Raiders. By the way, I'm a Raiders fan. I don't know if you knew that. They're Las Vegas, right? Las Vegas. And the Super Bowl this year is, we were just, it's in LA. Yes.

Okay. And you saw the lineup for the halftime show. No. The halftime show is a medley of Snoop Dogg, Eminem, hold on, let me. Why can't they get

artists that aren't like old? No, and also, Claudia and I were saying like, I don't like a medley. I like a one star show.

Me too. I love Eminem. I'm excited for it, but like. Snoop, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige,

Kendrick Lamar. Oh, it's interesting. Yeah, they're doing like a little festival thing. It's interesting. Blige Kendrick Lamar oh it's interesting yeah they're doing like a little festival thing it's interesting I like that you

picked the Raiders by the way okay so Raiders versus Bucks is that something yeah Raiders Bucks let's go with that I'll go with that too

wow I'm on the Raiders Bucks train Raiders Bucks you guys you heard it here first and everybody's going to be confused

like Ben why are you in New York and rooting for the Raiders we didn't say rooting for I mean no I root for the Raiders? We didn't say rooting for. No, I root for the Raiders. For sure. But these picks are just based on what I'm seeing.

Yeah. Okay. Well, they're not based on what you're seeing. Well, I do see, you know, the Cowboy game anytime it's on. Yeah. Because it's like in the sacks watching. And I think the Cowboys are, you know. They stink.

They leave a lot to be desired. Yeah. And so I judge what other team they're playing. Like, are they worse than the Cowboys are you know they stink they leave a lot to be desired yeah and so I judge what other team they're playing like are they worse than the Cowboys yeah or are they okay yeah or did or was it a landslide the Raiders fun team to pick it's good okay so you're a Raiders fan that's your number one team Raiders are my number one team I was a Giants fan I was the truth is and everyone can say you can't switch you can switch when you're a Knicks fan. When you're a Knicks fan, you only see losing seasons. I cannot spend money every single year and give my heart to multiple New York franchises that let me down. I need a route for one winner. So I picked the Raiders. They felt like they were on the up and up a couple of years

ago. Now they're in Vegas. Derek Carr Waller Josh Jacobs the team is good the team is good and fun okay not great by the way there's a solid chance they don't make the the Super Bowl I'm just letting you know that's okay it's so I don't have a nice pick personally it's just like fun to have you know Claudia's is so good how did you what you do her research no she didn't by the way bills bucks like will be the Super Bowl. Wow. That's pretty nuts. No, I was going to ask you. So New York is, like, you know, the greatest city in the world, allegedly.

Yeah, sure. Why are the sports teams, like, comically bad in every category? Except for the Yankees. I think that they're putting some respect on the city. The Yankees have historically spent the most money in the history of sports to remain competitive. And that's why the Yankees always do well. Even the Yankees, though, have been in a bit of a dry spell. They win games. They have great teams.

But they got knocked out in the wild card game. They didn't even technically make the playoffs this year. The Mets, I mean, we're huge Pete Alonzo fans here love him dear friend the Mets had a great team didn't make the playoffs the Giants stink the Jets stink the Knicks are finally the Knicks by the way might be the best New York team right now right now they won last night it was crazy uh the brooklyn nets uh can can all drown so we don't talk about them uh on this show okay there's way too much going on there they're a super team that lives in brooklyn i don't even consider brooklyn is it's just just go over there okay so then what about like the Rangers? I don't follow enough hockey. I have to assume they're good.

The Rangers are always pretty decent. The Rangers are always respectable. They're always respectable. But back to the Giants and Jets. One, we cram them into the same stadium. It can't be easy to do that. They just alternate games in the same stadium. Nobody really has a home.

Yeah. I think it's difficult to share a home. Yeah. There's no home court advantage because they share a home. That's weird. I think it's very difficult and strange. It's like if the Cowboys and Panthers played in the same stadium. Yeah.

It's weird. That is weird. I didn't realize that was the situation. Yeah, MetLife is just Jets and Giants. I didn't realize that was the situation. Yes, very odd. And I think that that might hurt them. No one's working on building a new stadium?

No. There's always a new stadium being built. There should be. But they just built MetLife and it was like a trillion dollars. So no, I don't see a new stadium coming. They both have young quarterbacks. Zach Wilson, Daniel Jones. Rookie quarterbacks, young quarterbacks.

It's just tough to win with them unless they're like really amazing. You know who has a nice quarterback? Who? The Bills. Josh Allen's amazing. I was watching a package on him. Yeah. What is the package?

Like just, you know, he was being interviewed by a reporter. Like they went, you know. Is that what they call it though? Or did you make that up? It was just like a little package of like Josh Allen promo. Did they make that up? Did you make that up? No, no.

It's like. That's a term. It's an industry term. That's a term. Industry term. A package. Yeah. It was like a package that they did.

Some like Josh Allen propaganda. But it was. He's very, very good. Yeah. No. He seemed like he had a good head on his shoulders. And I think that's important in this sport. Yeah, and he's just, like, good at football.

And that's important, too. Yeah, that's probably the most important, as opposed to having a good head on his shoulders. I think they go hand in hand. They do. No, if you can have both, total package. Total package. But, yeah, the Jets and Giants, yeah, playing in the same stadium,

young quarterbacks, great fan bases, but in the end of the dayets and Giants, yeah, playing the same stadium, young quarterbacks, great fan bases. But at the end of the day, it's just maybe the pressures of New York are just getting to them. I think the pressures of New York got to the Knicks for a long time until they had a really great coach. It just came in, Tom Thibodeau, who's the coach of the Bulls, the old Bulls, like really just known for being a tough coach yeah no bullshit I think in New York it's very easy to sort of lose yourself go to the clubs yeah I think there's a few cities like where that where that could happen to some of the players yeah and I think New York is one of them and I think there are probably other cities that have the opposite effect you know that are really grounding very like family oriented that's why the San Antonio Spurs have been like the best

the most consistent team for the last 25 years. Because of the environment? Yeah. Greg Popovich was their coach and created a wholesome environment in San Antonio, Texas where these guys just love to play basketball

and they won like consistently over 70% of their games for 20 straight years. That's such a beautiful story. Yeah. Have they made a movie about that? They should. They should. The wholesomeness of San Antonio. Yeah. Have they made a movie about that? They should. They should.

The wholesomeness of San Antonio. Yeah. Even though I don't think that that's really what it is. Like, I think Greg Popovich was like a serious coach. No, but like whatever he was doing, like. Oh, he was doing great stuff. It could be like the next Moneyball. Yeah, and his team.

I mean, there's definitely a movie. A movie there. Yeah. Free idea, Hollywood. Yeah, that's the third free idea. Okay, ready for our next story? It's actually some news about you that you spoiled earlier in the show. Did I?

But PureWow gave Spritz Society a 95 out of 100 on their PureWow charts. For aesthetics, they measure aesthetics, taste, quality, functionality, and value. Yep. Do you want to go through all the scores? Yeah, we can go through all the scores. Value got 17 out of 20. Yep. Functionality, 20 out of 20. Quality, 19 out of 20. Aesthetics, 20 out of 20. Taste, 19 out of 20 for a total of 95 out of 100. That's an A. It's an A. Yeah. It's my first A. I can say that I very rarely in my life have gotten a 95 out of

100 unless I cheated. And this is just wonderful press that was really, really exciting. You love to hear it. And also because, you know, until you order the cans, you can't really taste the product. So it is valuable to hear from other people on their experience with the taste for the customers. Yeah, 100%. So PureWow endorsed. This is good tasting stuff. I'm really so excited.

I'm going to have to bring a case with me to the hospital. I was going to say. And that's just going to be like the first thing I do. I don't know if I could actually do it because with like breastfeeding and stuff like that. I might have to wait. No, but we're going to throw you a sickening welcome back to drinking party. Okay. And you're going to need to have a migraine pill on hand because you're going to get a terrible headache.

I just know you. Okay. Oh, I was thinking that we'll get back to the PureWow thing. I got targeted for these holistic beads that you like put on your ear in pressure points that you like. Apparently it's some ancient medicine that really helps with migraines. Interesting. I was going to send it to you. Well, you know, I don't want to jinx anything.

You've been good? Things have been good. First trimester. And my headache doctor actually told me that this would happen. She said that women who have migraines do really well in the second and third trimester. She didn't talk about the first, so I was like, okay, it must be bad. First trimester was blindingly painful, but I don't want to jinx it. Knock on wood, please, don't come for me. It's been okay, and I do have some natural remedies and I've added magnesium and b12 into my vitamin

lineup and I think that's really helped but also I realized that I I clenched my jaw so tightly when I was sleeping and I used then I started to wear nightguards because also my teeth shift and I thought the nightguards were helping I think that they were but I was still clenching so hard and so now I've started to relax like be really mindful of my jaw when I sleep and I don't wake up with the migraines that I used to I don't know if it's just because like if that has nothing to do with anything but things have been really quiet that's good and you're a migraine sufferer as well I was gonna say I feel like you absolutely never talk about your headaches on the show you do I don't talk about them on the show if I have one on the show I like let everyone know that's why I like have a watery eye or like I'm looking like,

yeah, like, like frowny. Um, no, but I'm always talking about my headaches. Yeah. I mean, we both have very hazily eyes. You think it has to do with eyes? I'm 100% sure that true migraines that where we're sensitive to lights are eye color for sure that's a fact you can google it it sounds like another case for transition lenses yeah no by the way 100 you're right but i'm just like not dying on that hill as i already mentioned okay um but yeah so those beads are those beads are pretty good for uh i also noticed i i think the people have if you follow me on Instagram you'll know that I started to wear Breathe Right strips.

We did. You know Theo showed up the other day. I know with it in his fucking foot. I wanted to kill myself. With a Breathe Right strip in his foot. He was eating his foot

and we're like okay sometimes I've seen people eat his foot it must be tasty. And then he started chewing on something and we're like oh he got something

out of his foot and it was Pop's Breathe Right strips. First of all, Theo, I am so sorry. Second of all, you're so resourceful. Like he managed to get what was bothering him out of his own foot. He didn't need us to help him. He's a healer. He is. How is Dew today? He's wonderful. He's wonderful. He's currently on a walk, gallivanting across the city. Probably just ate somebody else's duty. And he's just like, he's just like

having a great time. Probably a human. Yeah, for sure. For sure. I think we were talking about Pure Wow and then we got sort of off track.

Yeah. But the only thing that I want to say, first of all, thank you Pure Wow for the honest and wonderful review. My personal favorite flavors

are grapefruit and pineapple. Orange is still delicious and so is lemon. But grapefruit got a 20 out of 20 on Pure Wow. And honestly, this shit's going to win an award. And if you haven't tried it, you've got to really have to like the we would never make a product. You can attest to this, that we didn't want to drink all the time. Yeah. Claudia does not drink any hard seltzer anymore because we made something that she wanted to drink. And at the end of the day, Spritz Society is that drink. So just wanted everybody to know, you can go to SpritzSociety.com, use code TOAST, 10% off.

But also, not so soon, but soon you'll be able to buy it in some local stores. Ooh, that's exciting. Which is pretty exciting. Yeah, that'll be fun. It is. I mean, it's all fun, but yes. Pure wow, thank you. Appreciate it.

Awesome. Well, let's get into our fifth and final story, which will lead into our TV recap. Lisa Rinna said that Scott DeSic's DM... Oh, you know, we do this thing here at the show. We do a song for the final story. Okay. And I do think that you could provide value. Okay.

You want me to sing it? No, no, no. Oh. Do you have... Okay. So hold your triangle at the top. Everyone, you can lower the volume right now. And it goes like this.

It's the final story. Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do. Oh. Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do-do.

Do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. It's the final story. Thank you very much. Doesn't that feel good? It does. Honestly, in another life I could have been a cantor. I did the seventh bracha at your wedding. You did? I did the seventh bracha at Olivia's wedding.

And I was asked to do the seventh bracha at my dear friend Matthew Hardoon's wedding, marrying his lovely bride, Adina Safdie. So that's not only family asking me. That's because I'm known in the trades as a great cantor. No, you are. And I definitely, I don't know if you, because you don't watch this show. I do as much as I can, by the way. Yeah, no, it's fine.

But we do have some plans for you for like an upcoming Briss. Oh. You know, we're going to put you to work. Oh to work oh nice and also i feel like in another life you and claudia could have made like the most beautiful cantorial duo totally oh now i'm so sad you've missed your that would have been so nice like three thousand years ago we would have been it you but why not today you guys could be the digital cantors yeah i'm i think that that would have a similar hit to the transition lenses. The digital cantors who wear transition lenses. Yeah.

It's good. It's good. Again, I'm not going to die on it. Okay. But you'll think about it. I'll think about it. But so I just want to make sure I'm not being asked to do any moil duties. No.

Claudia offered your moil duties. Got it. So she offered my. Your snipping duties not the snip yeah when was that um that was like five years ago no that was like two or three years ago is first toast studio

interesting cool yeah good times great times um I'm sure that baby of the burst you went to is like three years old now for sure I'm trying to remember whose baby it was yeah but yeah I'm sure that baby of the burst you went to is like three years old now. For sure. I'm trying to remember whose baby it was. Yeah. But yeah, I'm happy to perform any singing duties.

I won't be doing any snipping. We'll talk about the run of show. Okay, cool. So now it's time for our fifth and final story. Now I feel prepared to get into that story, which is that Lisa Rinna shared last night on The Real Houses of Beverly Hills reunion part two that Scott Disick's DMs played a role in the Amelia Hamlin breakup. So Scott Disick was dating Amelia Hamlin.

Do you know who that is? That is Lisa Rinna's daughter, correct? Correct. Yes. I know a lot about this franchise. Oh, yes, you do. Claudia has shared that with us. So they were dating for almost a year and nobody, absolutely no one was here for it.

Not a soul. Yeah, no. Including like her own parents, whatnot. And then they broke up around the same time that Scott sent that DM to Eunice. Do you see that story? No. You know who Eunice is? Like, is he in like the-

Courtney's ex. Benjamin's? Yes. Yes. Courtney's ex is Eunice and- I didn'tice and they dated what courtney and him dated yeah for like a long time it was not it was not it no so he dm'd eunice scott disick dm'd eunice a picture of one of the pictures of courtney and travis like making out on a boat like in bathing suits like very you know um pda and he, yo, what's up with this girl?

And Eunice like responded something like, she could do what she wants. Then he screenshotted it and put it on his story. So like everyone saw that like Scott was like DMing Eunice talking about Kourtney, including his girlfriend at the time, Amelia. And now, and then a few days later, it came out that they broke up and it seemed like one had

to do with the other and so Lisa Rinna is confirming that it did have something to do with that that's a crazy story it was really crazy it was shocking especially because um why is why is Eunice such a snitch that's like well I think it was like an opportunity for him to like come off looking really yeah good you know because he like then sent a very you know appropriate response and then yeah because he was putting it online right that's crazy I know but it's how did I miss that story I don't know it's also crazy that Scott would reach out to him especially because like Scott is still a member of the family yeah like. Like I guess, but like DMS are like, they're not meant to be screenshotted and posted. They're much like texts.

That's crazy. Be careful. But they're not friends. They didn't have any previous DMS. Like, Oh, they're, Oh,

they're not friends. They're not friends. Oh, so then he was just like being a shit starter. That's weird. Yeah. It was very weird. The whole thing's weird. I know.

What an odd story. That's what, that's what we do here. We share odd stories.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion part two recap. Let's get into it. It was very much. So I'm actually appreciating what they're doing in this reunion. Usually it's a four part reunion. Usually we get three on a season with some tea. So this is a very big one because of the Erica Girardi situation. I'm sure you're familiar.

I am. So usually they save all of the tea for the last episode of the reunion. But it seems as though Andy is asking questions like in between other segments. So we're getting like Erica stuff every episode and Housewives drama. So I actually, I've been very, I don't know what the word is, but I've been very suspicious of Erica most of the season. Ever since we saw like Housewife and the Hustler, and you know, we've been hearing about what Tom was allegedly doing.

I really, you know, was not keen on her. I still don't know what I believe, but I do believe that Erica is doing a great job in this reunion. She is crawling out of this hole. She's a fighter. And I think that she made some fair points. And she answered really every question that she could. There was only one question that she couldn't answer,

which was how she got the money to even leave Tom when she said she gave him all of her paychecks from the show and everything that she ever made, like, he handled for her. So she didn't, like, have credit cards that he didn't, he would just, you know, if she left, he would cancel her credit cards. So Andy asked, like, so how did you get money to, like, rent a house and a car and all these things? And she said she couldn't share because it has to do with her divorce proceeding, which I can understand. The only question that I felt like she skirted, which has been a big question for me, she's always said she was married to Tom for 20 years. You know, they got married when she was 27 and he was 60.

So there's always been this really big age difference between them. And she's loved him for 20 years. And she said, I thought I was going to hold this man's hand until he died and now she's blaming a lot of the degeneration of their marriage on his mental health mental deterioration she said that he has you know signs of dementia and Alzheimer's and he became a really difficult person to be married to and Andy asked her like you know you said you would be with Tom till the end now things are getting difficult and you leave him just as he needs you just as he's like getting

sick and deteriorating and she went into the story of how when he crashed his car she she found him and took the pictures and took him to the hospital and called all these doctors asking for advice but that didn't answer the question of like the premise of you said you would be there with him till the end and now things are going south with him as a person and you leave so that was the only thing to me that stood out as like I still don't have the answer to that question you know the timing of the divorce is very weird she left him like one month before he gets hit with all of these lawsuits. Do you know what the lawsuits are? Can you remind me? Yeah.

This isn't a quiz. No, no. I know that he defrauded a bunch of people. So he was a lawyer for like victims in cases where, like the Eric Brockovich case, he would like do civil class action lawsuits against like big companies on behalf of victims who have been like severely damaged or otherwise from these big companies one of them that was a famous case of his more recently the lion air flight that had gone down a few years ago it was like a boeing plane lion air lion air is an airline where it's not it wasn't based in the U.S., but it was a flight that malfunctioned and went down and everyone died.

Oh, my God. And he was the lawyer on behalf of all of the victims, the families of the victims. Oh, my God. And the families of the victims alleged that they never got paid from the money that was supposed to come from. Holy shit. He embezzled that money. There were other victims who are also coming forward and filing lawsuits against him they uh you know some they were like wronged by companies like in the gas industry

their house exploded this like if you watch the and they won and he kept the money and never gave it to them yeah he would like he would leave them like voicemail saying you know what i'm gonna like invest this money for you it'll be better you'll get more money and he was embezzling that money allegedly it's really it's the worst of the worst that's crazy right and he was like this big shot big time lawyer he was like the guy so there's a lot that you know she has to answer for having been his wife anyways so she divorces him a month before all of this comes to light so it's like did you know that this was coming to light that's why you divorced him are you divorces him a month before all of this comes to light. So it's like, did you know that this was coming to light? That's why you divorced him. Are you divorcing him to hide the money that he stole so that only he's liable?

But I don't think that that's true in any sort of way. They're coming for her. If she's not, I don't think they're in cahoots on this. But, or did you get out like right before the ship was sinking? And she really, you know, maintains that it has nothing to do with any of that stuff, that it was just, you know, the marriage between them was no longer a loving marriage but it wasn't a loving marriage because of perhaps these health issues he was suffering and you said you were going to be there till the end

so i just didn't feel like she answered that question why should she have to be there till the end if he's a criminal well she won't say she's she hasn't conceded that he's done these things she says that she doesn't know and that she never knew but maybe she doesn't know and she never knew oh i understand so you can't say you don't know and you never knew and then also and then also say i'm leaving him because he's a criminal yeah that's where things get sticky yeah interesting I wonder if there's anything in there like sort of like when you leave a job a non-disparagement like I wonder if she speaks ill of him publicly everything she says on the show bad good otherwise is you is being used in court so she has to be so careful yeah it's being used in her divorce proceedings and in these legal

cases that are being filed against Tom and her. She's in a very difficult spot. So I'm sure that she legally cannot say anything incriminating. Right. But she also has to do her job and be on the show. So it's very clear, at least to me, is that she didn't know because she didn't she didn't know that these things were happening how would she know that these things are happening how would she know that he's defrauding victims when it's his he's the lawyer she's not the lawyer yeah they've different like you don't share all of your life's work with your husband and you're the same like work is work uh but obviously it came to light. Maybe she heard a voicemail or something, divorced him. But now in these proceedings, she can't talk about it.

It's clear as day. I cracked the case. So, okay, so in that case, then she's innocent. Yeah. The call is that she knew that her husband was defrauding victims and she was spending his money? Perhaps. And also, at one point, she has an LLC, and at one point, in the height of things, he deposited $20 million into her LLC. Damn.

But then she says that he ran her LLC. That, oh. Yeah. damn but then she says that he ran her llc that oh yeah yeah and it gets sticky yeah i don't know i don't know either all i'm saying is from last night i took away from it like she don't count her out she's she could be back with a vengeance she's got a lot on the line i think that she's i think if you know back isn't back on the show is the call that she's not gonna be back on the show well if she gets accused of these crimes and convicted then yeah no she probably wouldn't be on the show but if she doesn't then there's no reason why what her husband did but theres Teresa stayed on the show uh yes and people do like to oh they do associate the two yes the difference is that Teresa's husband defrauded the government he was you know like evading taxes and that is a different sort of crime for sure stealing from orphans and widows

and burn victims for sure um and it was really like joe her husband who was doing those things but i guess why is it more joe than tom well we're figuring we're trying to figure that out now you're saying that if it's clear that it was her of course she's off the show again no i don't think i don't think it was her but i'm just saying i really when all this stuff was starting to come out house in the hustler i was like you know that is it was her. But I'm just saying, really, when all this stuff was starting to come out, Housewives and the Hustler, I was like, you know, that is it for her. Yeah. Close-up shop.

I understand. But I'm really seeing now how she can come back from this. And I still don't, I'm still, you know, I don't know what to believe in. I think that the courts, you know, will see what comes out. But I think if this reunion was a very important conversation, like inflection point in this whole story, and I think she's doing a really good job. Wow.

You know? Yeah. Even if she's not telling all the truth or she's lying or this or that, I think she's turning the tide. What a tricky little story. Right? Okay, so that was the bulk of the reunion, and anything else that happened was just like like, Dorit talks a lot.

Yeah, we know. Kathy Hilton was on, and she was crying. It was really sad and sweet, and— Why was she crying? Just, like, so she's on this season. You know, Kyle is her sister. Mm-hmm. Oh, wait.

Kyle's Kathy's sister? Uh-huh. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah. I thought—I knew that they were related. I didn't realize it was her sister. Yeah, they're sisters, and they, um, they weren't speaking for like 10 years because of like Kyle doing this show Housewives with Kim and like airing like Family Dirty Laundry,

which like Kathy really like doesn't agree with. And they were just like, it's easy not to want to go on a show when you have a billion dollars. Yeah. They were just like crying like for all the lost time and, um, just, and I think Kathy i think their mom i don't know when she passed away but i think kathy really like misses her and it was just very emotional and um i think she like struggles with like what would her mom think of this or that or and got it and that's why she was always like hard on kyle for doing the show and the other she also did show called American Woman, which was a scripted show about her childhood. And so again, Kathy's like, please stop. So there's just a lot of history there,

but now they're good. So that's good. And I don't really recall anything else of import other than like Lisa Rinna living for the Amelia Scott conversation. But they were just talking about it? Yeah, because, and they talked about on the show they were dating lisa was like i'm not you know not here for it meanwhile she's like living for it

but andy asked about the breakup and so we got some information but that was about it then i watched winter house i don't i've never really watched summer house um so i'm i know kyle and amanda because I watched the first season a little bit of Summer House and like they we've met them and so I know them and then I follow Paige so like that's exciting and I don't know who Luke is and Sierra is fabulous and then I know the Southern Charm guys Austin and Craig and then there's three new cast members so it felt like it was okay that I didn't know everyone it It was a mix of people. And I was really watching because you know who Craig Conover is?

I do. And do you know who Paige DeSorbo is? She's from Summer House. No. Okay. But I know Craig. They're now dating in real life. Oh.

They're such a cute couple. Cool. And they're both on the show Winter House together. So I was like, of course they fell in love on Winter House and that's so amazing. So I was like, I have to watch Winterhouse to see this blossoming relationship. But no, Craig arrives at the Winterhouse with a girlfriend of 10 months named Natalie, who he loves. She's not in the house, but like he's in a relationship. He's not looking at anyone.

Like I don't, he didn't even speak to Paige. I was just like, what the? But Paige and him are together now. Yes. But apparently during the whole course of filming they never got together on the show they got together after the show interesting so i'm just like well that's annoying yeah and anyways like so page is like talking to another guy and actually sierra and um austin are such a cute couple i'm very much looking forward to that it's it really felt like i was watching like jersey shore or something just like all these strangers put into a house together it was the first episode was tough because it was

like everyone you know when you like go on a trip with people and like the first night just everyone's like buck wild like drinking and like just wanting to like make new friends it's just like a lot of chaotic energy so i found it to be like a little chaotic um and the situation with the rooms was really funny I don't everyone's like Kyle should have gotten the primary suite because he planned the trip and he's in with his fiancee Amanda but like how could he have planned the trip when this is a show for Bravo like let's get fucking real nobody he didn't book the house so if the other girls wanted to take that room they should have taken it he played himself basically there's 10 rooms 12 people all the rooms are pretty nice

but there is one suite that's like you know the master suite that's better than all the others kyle just assumed that would be his because he planned the trip even though this is a show there was nothing to plan um and so then all throughout the day all the other rooms start getting taken up and he winds up like in a room now in the basement where he has to share a bathroom him and his fiancee have to share a bathroom with two other girls and it's like that's really bad but like you could have taken any other room I just I can't I can't relate yikes yeah so um where does it take place Stowe Vermont oh nice so it's nice I do love you know the but, when did they film Wonderhouse? Last winter. Oh, okay.

So it is during the winter. Yes. No, there's snow, and it's a great vibe. The house is just really stressing me out because it's filthy already, and it's only day two, and it's just like... Stowe is awesome. Yeah. But they need to clean up the house.

It's just... It's hard to watch. It's weird that they would film it there, though. I think they... I don't know. It must have been COVID-. It was. Like driving. Yeah. Driving to a destination that was like not too far from the city. Yeah and then Kyle also you know grew up going to Stowe. I guess that's like how they're. Interesting. They're framing all of this but it's you know it's just a show. Interesting. And Kyle was on Summer House? Yeah. So, so far it's good and it's cute.

It's just very chaotic. So there was chaos. Interesting. But it was fun for me because I don't, I got to like meet some of the new people. And even like the Summer House people who I've not seen. Like I follow Paige, but I have not seen her on TV. So she's literally has the best style. Like top five Bravo-lebrity style.

And it's a pleasure to watch. Wow. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Like Dorit, you know, up there. Wow. Cool.

So that's our TV recap. That's our show. Ben, thank you so much for joining us. Of course. It's been a pleasure. We'll be back tomorrow. So if you guys have any follow-up questions for Ben. Is there anything I should be watching? Tonight there's nothing on. So you are good. But should we like pick. I know like I'm totally going like a movie or something.

Going off book. Should we pick a movie or should we pick a TV show or something and watch it and talk about it? Is there something topical? Oh, can we talk about the impeachment? So Claudia told us that you're loving impeachment. Love. And you know what? Yeah. Share your thoughts, but without any spoilers, please. Impossible. Okay. So then let's watch a movie. Okay. We can watch a movie. Um, we don't have to watch a movie. Yeah. You let me know. Let's just, let's just watch something so that I can really be informed. We could also do it over the weekend. Yeah. So that on Monday we could recap something together. Yeah. I just want to be informed on the topic. Okay. So that I don't, because otherwise like I come off and like people are like, why do you say that? And it's because I don't have any information. Okay. So I'm just like, you know. Yeah. Maybe we'll watch like a documentary or something. Interesting.

Blackfish, again, amazing documentary. That is a good documentary. It's like the only documentary I've ever seen. I think that's a good weekend assignment. So tonight we'll peruse and we'll find something that we all could maybe want to watch. And then we'll talk about it on Monday. That will be so fun. And other than that, thank you so much for joining us. Always a pleasure.
