Good morning, millennials. Welcome back to the morning toast. Happy Friday. Claude, do you have a song for us? None are really coming to mind. Oh, wait. Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday. That's right, everyone.

We made it to the end of a treacherous week, the first week back for a lot of people at work after the Christmas and holiday season. You did it. You did it. You did it. Congratulations. It's only 11 a.m., but go grab a drink. For sure, go grab a drink. I'm like, I keep forgetting that it's Friday, and every time I remember, I'm like, wow, what a treat. It doesn't feel like Friday for me because I had, you know, a really unstructured week,

but it's Friday no matter how you slice it. And I'm, I'm really so thrilled. Do you know what the best feeling is? Is like not, I'm not saying that you did this, but like there are certain weeks where like you slack off or like you call in sick and then you get a Friday and like, you don't really feel like you deserve it, but like it still counts. Yeah. And that's the beauty of it. But it also makes up for all those other Fridays where you worked so hard and Friday did not come fast enough. Rebecca Black was just taking her time. It all comes out in the wash. It does.

So congratulations to everyone listening for, first of all, For making it. For having amazing taste in podcasts. And second of all, making it to Friday. We're so proud of you. We're so proud of you. We're so proud of ourselves. And I am proud of myself.

I'm just going to give a little smoothie cleanse update. Oh, please do. I'm actually curious to know, like, you didn't eat. Like, what is that like? Can't relate. Okay. Well, you eat. You make a big smoothie in the morning.

You ration it out for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But you can snack on fruits and veggies throughout the day. Oh. Like unlimited, technically? Like, yeah. She never uses the word unlimited in her book. But, you know, within reason. You grab a snack.

But, so yesterday, I was actually doing really good. you know, within reason, grab a snack. Yeah. But so yesterday I was actually doing really good and I figured like it's the first day. It's probably the easiest because I still have all that pasta in my belly from the night before, you know? But then around like eight o'clock I got the worst migraine of all time. Like of all the migraines I've ever got, this one was the absolute worst. And like I had to go to sleep at, like, 845, so I had to watch Southern Charm in the morning

because I couldn't look at, like, any lights. I tried my magical pills, and they didn't work while I was awake, but while I slept, I woke up feeling, like, so much better. But, like, if that happens again, I don't know if I'll be able to push through and continue with this journey. But I do think it's just my body going through withdrawals. Like, where's the sugar? Where's the processed foods?

Where's the caffeine? Well, I can say like I get migraines a lot and two of my triggers, one are like lack of sleep by like four o'clock. Like I will be dead migraine central. And then also on the very rare occasion, like I forget to eat. That is a trigger for my migraines. I don't know. You might be in trouble.

No, I know. But maybe that was just like it passing through the first time. I just want to say like, if this is happening every night, like I'm going to have to stop the smoothie cleanse because it's torture. And I just felt so bad for Sweets. Like I couldn't really be there for him last night in the way that he needed me to be because like mommy was sick. Yeah, no, honestly, like when your juice cleanse starts affecting your ability to parent, I

think that, I just think it's something to talk about, you know, with your, with your family. I completely agree. So I just want to say like, I have every intention of keeping this up, but like it might be beyond my control if that happens. No, I understand. So that's where I'm at. I have today's smoothie looks even grosser than yesterday's.

Does it not? Yeah. That's, that's really fucking chunky and not to like the color is no the color is like reminiscent of something i have dropped in a toilet on a day where i just wasn't feeling well stop um well congrats like we're really proud of you here we're we're we're supporting you we're doing what the book says And what's really exciting is that if all goes according to plan, like by Monday, the next time you guys hear from me about this, I'll be on day five.

Like I'll be halfway through. Yeah, for us, it's easy. For you, like good luck with the weekend. I know, but I'm just going to try and sleep a lot. I started Bridgerton. I only got to episode three before the migraine forced me to turn off my television. Tell me what you think about it, though. So I just think it's like so awesome. Isn't it like gorgeous? It's gorgeous. Like it's just like this utopian world

and it's just so beautiful, stunning and smart. Honestly, in the first episode, I just felt like I was going to have trouble getting into it because like my heart wasn't in it yet. But fear not because Bridgerton like will bring your heart into it. Yeah, no. And Lady Whistledown just like knows how to lure you in. Yeah, Lady Whistledown just like knows how to lure you in yeah Lady Whistledown like I'm really excited to find out who she is I'm assuming that's like a big storyline well you'll see I don't want to maybe she does maybe she doesn't tell me anything but anyways it's really good and just like some actual premium content when like we watch so much garbage yeah and like in the last you know six to eight months I think we've really lowered our bar for what we consider premium content just because we're so bored and

we've watched everything on television. And Bridgerton was like a reset back to my old standards. Like this is phenomenal acting, gorgeous scenery, amazing storylines. Like everything about it is premium 10 out of 10. And we haven't had that in a while because we've just been like lowering our bar to watch things like Emily in Paris, you know? Yes, I do know. Even though the more I've sat with Emily in Paris, like I kind of miss her. No, I don't miss her one bit. Like the more I sit and think about her, like the more upset I am.

Yeah. By like all of the potential of that show and then it was just squandered. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say Emily in Paris. I meant to say Emily in Paris. Oh, LOL. So we have an amazing show for you guys today, obviously. Not much happened in the world of celebrity pop culture, but there were a few things we need to talk about.

And last night's Southern Charm, which I was feeling really conflicted about my feelings. You know when you feel a certain way about a show and you want to feel the other way, but you just can't get yourself to feel that way? And I feel like maybe the way that I feel is kind of unpopular. Ooh, that would be new for us. Yeah. I just like cannot find it in my heart to like support Danny Baird. She's so hard to like champion. I totally agree. I totally agree. You know, I'll get into it. I don't want to like start a spiral, but like she was bothering me so much. I know because like she's had like a few opportunities to really like say what she needs to say and make – And get it out there.

And by the way – No, and like do something. She's had months to like script to herself like what she wants to say to Catherine. And what came out was just like not English. No, like and the first time on the beach that she tried, it was just like a travesty. Her emotions. You know what I actually second time, like she wound up saying words, but like, I can't imagine that's what she meant to say. Because they that's not a reason to not speak to your friend. 100% like, I'm sorry, you feel lonely.

That's an offensive to me. No, it's like, I'm sorry, you feel lonely, period. Like, what can I do to help? Like, it was just we'll get into it. And that whole day was just like an absolute torture chamber. Like, it looked horrible. Oh my god, that was, it was scary island. Yeah. But before that, Jackie and I have a fabulous show planned for you guys where we just intend to be hilarious. So if you would let us do that, I think it might be time. I think it might be time to deliver the fast-sized stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh no oh no oh no i'm feeling do you want to pause i'm feeling really nauseous oh my god

i think i'm gonna hurl today's episode is brought to you by bruce i'm not getting like grosser i fucking love bruce everyone knows we love bruce I went to the dentist and she was like, your brushing is amazing. Are you using an electric toothbrush? And I said, yes, doc. It's the Bruch, which is the best electric toothbrush on the market for a multitude of reasons. One, I think it's the most reasonably priced. Two, it's so beautiful.

Check it out. Check it out. Okay, first story. Jeffree Star is shutting down those Kanye West dating rumors for once and for all. I knew it. Jeffree Star is just as shocked by those rumors as you all are. The beauty influencer finally revealed the truth about the viral TikTok video that claimed he was having an affair with Kanye, even though the rapper remains married to Kim Kardashian. Yeah.

He posted a tell-all video on YouTube yesterday called Addressing the Kanye Situation, in which he called the allegations, quote, the dumbest shit I've ever read in my life. He said, I woke up and my phone was blowing up, and I'm like, oh my God, what in the scandal is going on today? I honestly had no idea, right? I'm keeping to myself. I'm living in this beautiful state. I'm loving life. He said he got a million texts and phone calls and inquiries from news outlets about the rumors, and he shut them down saying, I'm single. I'm not sleeping with anyone. I like very tall men. Me and Kanye have never hung out.

And this whole thing is really funny. Okay. Well, obviously, I think we said that yesterday. Like, I never for one minute thought that this particular rumor was true, especially when Jeffrey posted that Instagram about Sunday service, like, obviously playing into the rumors and, like, wanting just to, like, get some clout before he cleared it up, which I totally understand and respect.

I never thought this was true. I do think this is, like, a funny pop culture saga. But I do think it's strange how, like, in one, this whole rumor started really because of this TikTok that went, like, completely viral. And this girl who went viral on TikTok is known for being, like, a prankster, a troublemaker. She's the girl who licked the toilet bowl and then like got coronavirus, remember? Oh, God. So it's like, I hate that. I hate that you can just like say something on the internet, regardless of what it is.

It could be something good about someone, bad about someone, defamatory. And like, it just picks up steam and becomes truth. Like there's a part of me that like, although this is funny, like feels very unethical. Yeah, I feel that like that it just without any burden of proof like just became the fact and if Jeffrey hadn't spoken out about it like we might and if he hadn't posted that Sunday service thing to begin with and then this video like I think people would still very much be wondering if it was true but I mean I think he handled it perfectly in terms of like you know the post and the video like he got an extra YouTube video up yeah um that's like really funny and imagine like waking

up and like reading this about yourself that's completely untrue yeah and it's just like what in the world so now there's another um beauty guru Cole Carrigan who's like a big male beauty influencer, who is coming onto TikTok saying like, you know, the rumors about Kanye dating a beauty guru are true. It's just not Jeffree Star. And he's like posting various receipts like of Kanye's bodyguard, texting him, saying like, yeah, he wants to meet, sending him an NDA. This guy seems like so thirsty like the opposite of Jeffrey like literally chasing this clout I don't I don't know what to believe I don't really believe it because they so this guy's saying it's like himself right like this rumor about Kanye you know hooking up with a beauty guru was true it just wasn't Jeffrey star it was this guy Cole

oh wow I mean that's so thirsty because like But I understand the thirst. I'm literally about to make a TikTok saying, like, it was me. It was me. Yeah, like, I'm the beauty guru. Yeah. Well, no, because either it's totally untrue or he was having a relationship with Kanye and just sold him down the river. Right. And they do say that every rumor has an ounce of truth to it. So maybe this was just really misconstrued in the Jeffree Star rumor and they just got their beauty gurus confused. Yes. Or maybe like the term beauty guru is very, you know, flexible.

And I'll tell you who is a beauty guru. Kim Kardashian. Wow. Yes. And you know what? I feel like a little weird talking about this story because as much as it's like salacious gossip, at end of the day if any of it is true you are outing someone and that feels wrong yeah so I'm gonna stop talking about it now okay well that's great because we're moving on Kim Kardashian attends Bible study amid impending divorce from Kanye so like one this headline makes me think

like oh my god she's seeking out a new church because she's leaving Kanye. But then the story is based on an Instagram story that she posted saying, when Kourtney Kardashian and I show up matching in our skims to Bible study. No, I think it's crazy that like people's Instagram stories become worldwide news. But Kim hasn't said much of anything or posted anything since these conversations started happening. So I do believe this to be noteworthy. Like all she's been doing is posting workouts and now Bible study. And that does seem like the life of someone who's going through a divorce. I know, but she's always been super religious. I just feel like there's in the

fact that she's going to Bible study at once makes me think like she's switching churches because her husband has a church. Right. But then it's like she probably I feel like a lot of times when people are going through something, they like start posting Bible quotes or whatever, or it's just like a nice thing to post in general. And it's like, now she can't even post about the Bible. Well, I've never been to like a Bible study for like a church because I'm obviously Jewish. But if I learned anything from Bible study, um, when Tamara Judge went on Real Housewives of Orange County, it really doesn't have much to do with your church. So it couldn't have anything to do with leaving Kanye's church. I think it's like when women are, I think it's like usually like groups of women get

together like with their friends and study Bible, like share verses, like what they've learned. I don't think you necessarily need like a pastor. A hundred percent. So she could still be a part of Kanye's church. So what, at the end of the day, like this is a nothing burger. Oh, it's the biggest nothing burger with lettuce, tomato, and cheese. And a sprinkle of whatever sauce. And a little Beyond Meat.

Yum. Yum. I just wanted to make it so that you could eat it. Oh my god, thank you, but I'll eat it in nine days. She's not giving us anything, and there will be a moment where she talks, and until then, like, any news from, like, you'll never believe what Kim Kardashian liked on Instagram, like, I will not be taking that as gospel until I just hear straight from the queen's mouth. We are the sorry people. We are the sorry people. She is the queen.

Like, we can stir and drang all we want. But until the queen speaks to the sorry people, I have nothing to say. I agree. I totally agree. I just want, like, yeah, I agree. Moving on. Yeah, can I just say one thing about today and yesterday's episode? Sure.

Because I realized yesterday, like, I was really, like, talking a lot more. I mean, I always talk a lot and, like, talk over you, but I think more than usual. And I felt myself doing it today already. But I just need to say it's because for Tuesday and Wednesday, like, I was really just, like, driving the ship and, like, trying to be funny and then also, like, move things along with Ben and, like, you know, make sure Ben doesn't say anything crazy. So I'm just, like like coming out of that pattern. And I apologize in advance to you and the listeners. No worries. I hadn't noticed, honestly.

I felt like I said a lot yesterday, too. Oh, good. Okay, okay. I felt like I was like just stomping all over everyone. I didn't notice. But that's how I feel just like every day. My smoothie cleanse is making me like so tired. I won't even put up a fight fight I'll pick up where you drop off

okay and by the way my smoothie cleanse like actually isn't making me tired I feel the same I'm just gonna say the whites of your eyes look like exactly the same stop okay you're gonna see me on Monday it's only day one you're gonna see me on monday and we're gonna see because like it is only day one and i feel like by monday my body will be like oh something's different yeah well you know bruce was the only sponsor of today's episode so i would be remiss devastated and heartbroken if i didn't take this opportunity to promote my book which comes out so fucking soon you guys january 26 pre-order is available and i know some of you might be waiting to order on the week of and that's totally fine but for And I know some of you might be waiting to order on the week of, and that's totally fine.

A little TNN queen news. TNN making news. Real Housewives of New Jersey's Margaret Joseph says her husband was hospitalized after the entire family got COVID. In a recent Instagram video, Joseph's and her caviar Dreams Tuna Fish budget podcast co-host Leslie Barbudo I know, but the news is sad. Shared that they had been

offline in recent weeks due to their COVID-19 diagnosis. Quote, we've been MIA and we've had COVID. The entire family. We didn't want to talk about it during Christmas because who wants to talk about COVID during Christmas? She added before sharing that they have all since tested negative and are better now. But Joe Benigno was in the hospital, which is like so scary.

Love Margaret so much. If you want to hear more about her journey through all of this, she did a big podcast episode on her podcast, which is on our podcast network. So check it out. It's called Caviar Dreams, Tuna Fish Budget with Margaret Josephs. But I love Margaret. She's a PJOM. And so is Joe.

And I just like, COVID's like so crazy but also like when you hear about someone older getting it, like it really puts into perspective like how scary it can be. And you know who else was in the hospital for COVID is Deandra from Real Housewives

of Dallas. Yes, I saw that. I believe she's out now but she was there for a long time. It's really scary. That is so scary. And just sending prayers her way and Margaret's way. Margaret's a queen. And of course she beat COVID. She's a queen. Yeah, totally. I'm really happy to hear the good news. And it's very like big of them to speak about it, you know? Yeah. I feel like a lot of who wants to? Right, exactly. I think a lot of people are like struggling privately with COVID because there's like so much shame associated with catching it, even though it's like a pandemic.

Right, right. But that's why it's so bad. It's like crazy contagious. Yeah. No, it's really crazy. But we love her. I love Margaret. Reading like about her and thinking about her again,

I'm really excited for Real Housewives of New Jersey. Yes, and you know, a lot of things are coming to an end, I've realized. I feel like our Housewives Bravo plate has been so full, but now Potomac's over. Next week is OC reunion. Next week, I mean, OC finale. Next week is Southern Charm finale. So I feel like some things are just like,

the books are like, the chapters are closing. Yes, but I also feel like Bravo has been inundating us with housewives and like everybody's plates are full and i just read that the premiere numbers for real housewives of dallas were really shitty i read that too three and i think and by the way you didn't read it we both follow christian grace no on instagram yes so that's where i read it. Yeah. I read it there. Yeah. You made it sound like you read like the TV articles. No, I will. Like we said, I will never understand how ratings work and how many people watch a show. So I just need someone to break it down. So I think 0.334 is like 300,000 people. No, I think so too. That's that one seemed clear. That's crazy low because like Beverly Hills in Atlanta get like 2 million. No, I know. But I think, I mean, one, maybe Dallas has a problem, but two, I think people are just really housewives

fatigued right now. And to come into the new year, like right off the heels of Potomac reunion and like all these other shows with a new franchise, like we need a fucking break. Yeah. And the, I just watched the premiere of Dallas and I thought it was so good. And so it's not the quality of the show that's suffering. I think they're programming, like they need to get their foot off the gas a little bit because I am struggling to keep up. I think it's just has a lot to... And it's my job.

So imagine if you were watching for leisure, like at a certain point, it's no longer leisurely. No, not at all. And I think a lot of it has to do with like so much of production being halted because of COVID and now like everything's just like catching up. And it definitely feels heavier in the last, you know, five, six months than it ever has. Like I don't remember ever having like this much Bravo to watch every night, sometimes two, three hours. Yeah.

So I think if they're having like ratings issues, it's that. Yeah. And like now Dallas is like, Dallas is now coming on like after OC, after Beverly Hills, after Potomac, after Atlanta. It's like enough already. Yeah. So I think that like, that's why it didn't do well, but that's just my two cents. Yeah.

I think that's fair. Okay. Ready for our next story? Yes. Amazon is shuttering Prime Pantry, an early online grocery initiative. That's very sad. I use them all the time. I know, but you know what I use now instead?

I realized Prime Now, which gives you your groceries like now. You know what I use, which is probably why Prime Pantry closed down because I was their like only customer? Uber Eats, at least in Manhattan and I think a few other major cities, has a groceries capability. It's like how you would normally order takeout. You can order groceries from local grocery stores. And it's crazy fast.

Under 90 minutes. Delivery, $3.99. Like, that's unbeatable. That's unbeatable. So I feel like this e-grocery is really the new competitive market. And Amazon is reorganizing their portfolio because Prime Pantry um will now be like folded into just like the general amazon.com but now that I think about Prime Pantry it's like I don't want my groceries coming through the mail no I like when it's like a local courier service yeah of

course like I don't need my eggs in a cardboard box no but to be honest like I feel when you said that like grocery delivery is going to be like like, the new competitive market, I feel like people for years have been, like, trying to figure it out. Like, Instacart was, like, a good one, but then they, like, they still do it, but they do, like, now they're, like, a Postmates. Like, no one can really nail grocery delivery in major cities, and I don't know why, and I think the closest I've come to, like, the perfect formula is the Uber Eats grocery delivery. I'm afraid that, like, people don't use it, and and it'll be shut down. So like, please use it. And it's also a great way to support local grocery stores. Yes, definitely. And I think Prime Now is the same thing. I actually just used Prime Now the other day and I actually need more groceries for my cleanse. I think I'll do Uber Eats grocery. Yeah. Try it out and let me know what you think it's funny because I know I've done it before I just like have forgotten about it right you know it's

funny because I feel like in quarantine there's definitely created more of a demand for grocery delivery you know people trying to limit their you know time spent outside of their home and exposing themselves but like for me like I literally hate going to the grocery store like I have been in search of a grocery delivery service, like, since I was 12. But not for me. So I feel like now is a great time to just, like, be me. You know? Yeah, I know.

That's my favorite TikTok sound, by the way, you guys. Call an ambulance. Call an ambulance. Call an ambulance. But not for me. Iconic. That's, yeah. Not a lot of them, like, resonate with me, especially since I don't really, I'm not really up with the TikToks anymore.

But that one is premium sound. You're not a talker? I'm not a talker. But you never know. Like she could always come back. You know, I literally went viral on TikTok the other day. It's like nothing better. No feeling greater.

What were you doing? What were you doing there? That is a good question. Oh, I'm FaceTiming you, so I can't see my phone. But my friend's one went crazy viral. Oh, and then the girl in the bikini and then me eating a chipwich. Did you see that? Oh, yes, yes.

Yeah. Iconic. The people of TikTok love me. But I'm crawling to 100,000. Literally, for the last six months, I've taken to go from 90 to 100K. Please follow me on TikTok, you guys. Girl with no job. Like, I need the love. You just got to do something, like, big and bold. But, like, I've gone viral. Since, literally, I've been trying to hit 100K, I've

gone viral, like, four times. And one of them was really big. Like, the friends one was, like, 800,000 views. But, like, I just can't get followers. It's crazy. Like, I'm at 97. Like, I just want to get to 100 so I can be legitimate. Oh, you'll get there. And stop being embarrassed like with my digital friends, you know, who have like 5 million. Do you have digital friends who have 5 million on TikTok? I mean I like to think that I do, yeah. Okay. I don't know if I could like name anyone.

But I definitely feel like I have a friend or two who has so many TikTok followers for sure. Who's big on the top. Well, you know what? who has so many TikTok followers for sure. Who's big on the talk. Well, you know what? Actually, Francesca Farago from Too Hot to Handle is like big on TikTok. And I just got added to her close friend story.

So I think that counts. Okay, we're going to take it. We're going to take the win. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Yes, yes I am. It's a little rebranding news because Burger King's identity is getting a whopper of a refresh with its first new logo in more than 20 years. Using colors inspired by its real and delicious food, the fast food chain unveil on Thursday a retro-influenced new identity that includes a redesigned yet recognizable logo and new food packaging.

Jackie, when you said this is a little rebrand news, you really meant little, like this is the most insignificant guys. Google it. You will see these two logos are mirror images of another, like there's, but here's the thing. When I saw the new logo, I was like, what's changed now? I'm looking at the old logo and the new logo side by side. And there are a lot of changes. And I feel like that is the actual perfect rebrand where it's like, it doesn't feel unfamiliar to the customer, but we've updated it a little bit because now I'm looking at the before and I'm like, that is so retro. Yeah. Well, I do think it's crazy that Burger King is still using that. Well, up until like today, we're using that crazy logo because I, when I think of that logo,

I think of like literally the Burger King in the town where we grew up in the 90s. That's when I think of it. And I actually never realized how old school it was. Yeah, this new logo is reminding me more of some of the other fast food chains. Like just this retro vibe, like Whataburger. Yeah. I don't know. It's so interesting.

Look at them side by side because it i can just see like the people in the room having these conversations about what these logos connote and yeah when they're like the colors reflect the natural ingredients of all of our products like please and you know but when i saw this logo i was like wow they used natural ingredients no that was the first thing that came to your mind, right? 100%. So I guess that means that's a successful rebrand. I feel like I'm in a focus group. You know what's so funny? Like, giving my opinion.

Is, like, in terms of food, I feel like fast food restaurants serve, like, essentially, like, chemicals and shit. Like, it's really not sophisticated. But from a marketing standpoint, they're, like, the most sophisticated businesses, like, in the country. Like, they're constantly winning awards for, marketing their commercials their influencer partnerships like it is just like five out of five so high quality so sophisticated for like like restaurants that literally serve like poison delicious poison totally but it's it's crazy it's crazy and, I don't know if you listened to the episode, but Ben and I did a little fast food news. KFC is testing out Beyond Meat chicken, fried chicken. Wow.

Yeah. It kind of sounded gross. No, no, no. I'll be there. Okay. Like, that's what I like about, like, the Impossible and Beyond Meats. It's like meat can be kind of gross sometimes, and you never you never know like what kind of bite you're going to get. That's true.

When it's fake meat, like you don't have that worry of like, what the fuck did I just chomp into? No, like was that dog? Sometimes I'm eating like. Or was that like bone or joint? Yeah, no, I feel that. Is that someone's finger? Like I feel that 100%.

No, no, I'm not even talking about like extraneous ingredients that could have been put into the mix. Oh, I am. Because that could happen with Beyond Meat, too. Oh, true. I'm talking about, like, the, like, bits of animal where it's like, I just ate someone's joint. No, like, did you ever see the person who went to Buffalo Wild Wings and got a beak? And he happened to be, be like a famous NHL player and he tweeted them like,

what the fuck? You look in the bucket of chicken and there's literally like a head. Stop, stop. Google it, you guys. It's insane. Right, so like that's just one thing you won't get with, you know, fake meat.

And that's another reason why I like it. Yeah, I feel like the worst thing you could get like a piece of shrapnel would be like the plastic that like the beyond meat like comes in. Yeah. And also when I've been like cooking with, um, beyond meat ingredients, it's like, if I don't cook it all the way through, like it's okay. You know? Yeah. Whereas with meat, it's very, that's why I hate cooking with meat. It's, it's very scary. You could really do some damage. You could do some damage. Yes. No, a hundred percent with like working with raw meat. And so I like the fact, meat it's it's very scary you could really do some damage and you could do some damage yes no 100 with like working with raw meat and so i like the fact obviously i still want to cook it through

but even if i didn't like it would just taste gross like yeah okay you want to get salmonella right hopefully um so let's dive into our tv recap segment southern charm was on last night and our tv recap segment is brought to you by our Patreon.

Can't wait to see what happens for the Patreon in 2021. Big things. I mean, at least know for me that I'm doing my home tour soon wow that's exciting yeah I might even have it in time for January so head over to patreon.com morning toast all right let's do southern charm it wasn't we don't thankfully when I went to my DVR there wasn't like four episodes for me to catch up on from winter break they they spared us um yeah but it does feel like next week being the finale uh is really soon it does feel soon but i

think also they just had a hard time filming like yeah they had started filming in march and then they skipped forward to may i just think that they're like it's a it's a weird season yeah well this episode was actually really good because that dinner party that madison threw at first i was like this is a fabulous socially distant covid dream dream. Like, outside, no one around you. This gorgeous tent, sitting on the floor. Feels like we're in Marrakesh. Like, whatever company did this event, like, that was a great commercial for them. But the event itself, like, immediately turned into a torture fest.

Like, Alston was in the worst mood. I don't even know why he came. Pringle was just, like, being put in the middle of him and Madison, even though, like, I kind of, like, love Pringle and Madison. I know you do. I just feel like they're compatible. Like I really do. And I'm also like, even if I did ship him at one point, like I'm worried because now like Pringle has seen like this side of Madison where she is like really hard on Austin. I think personally deservedly. So the way that he was behaving from the moment he showed up, like, first of all, don't come if you say you're not going to come. And if you are going to come, let someone know so that there's

a place setting for you. And then don't get mad like when someone, when the person whose seat you took needs their seat back. Right. And like you come, you don't have a seat. Like just be grateful for any seat that you're given. Not like this one's in the sun. Like he was just being such a baby and like such a spoiled brat, honestly. And that's just not how you invite when you're an invited guest. That's not how you act when you're an invited guest.

And it's definitely not how you act when you're an invited guest. That's not how you act when you're an invited guest. And it's definitely not how you act when you are not invited anymore. Completely 100% agree. To be honest, I really felt like in a lot of ways, Craig was really the voice of reason in last night's episode. Because I felt like Catherine definitely has like a lot of conversations that need to be had with the women. But it's really a tough spot for her to be walking into because she doesn't know that Madison from Gwen's is even mad at her. And she doesn't know why Danny's mad at her. So Danny's literally talked to everyone in Charleston about it, very coherently, might I add, and never spoke about it to Catherine. So Catherine, like, is once again like, tell me.

And she just starts crying. And, like, I'm sympathetic because this friendship is obviously important to Danny. But, like, you can't expect Catherine to read your mind. And what you actually got out of your mouth was not substantial enough for the way that you, but, like, you can't expect Catherine to read your mind, and what you actually got out of your mouth was not substantial enough for the way that you've been, like, acting around Catherine. A hundred percent. So either that's really the reason why you're so upset,

like, that doesn't hold, or, like, again, you did not articulate why you are upset, and, like, why is it so difficult? I understand, like, it's hard to have hard conversations, but she's at ease having them with everyone else yes and and now this is her third attempt because Catherine came to her house she couldn't do it they spoke on the beach she couldn't do it they spoke on the beach again and she came back with you said you were lonely but I'm here for you you know that

just makes no sense like it doesn't add up and I understand Catherine like literally being like I literally don't understand what you're talking about. And for me, like I feel like this group of girls who have come together kind of like commiserating over their dislike of Catherine ended up just being like a little too mean. Like they were just like finding fault in everything Catherine did. Like Catherine coming late with Craig. What does she need a bodyguard? Like, yeah, obviously she knows everyone in there, like, is talking shit about the embarrassing things she did. Like, of course she would want a bodyguard.

So, like, I just don't understand, like, when you're mad at someone, like, you just get mad at them for weird things, like taking the boat with Craig. Yeah, no, but that's what you do when you're mad at someone. And then, like, when they were, like, you should separate Craig sitting next to Catherine. Right, like, let's isolate her. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. But like Catherine does need to have those conversations. A hundred percent. And she needs to like be mature and like look people in the eye and say what she needs to say and not like think that this is all going to go away. But I think she must be confused as to like

why Danny's so mad at her. And like Danny the maddest yeah and I think yes but I think she definitely knows like what's going on with Madison from Gwen's because actually I think Catherine's mad at Madison and Madison's mad at Catherine they both think that the other could have handled like the public emoji scandal better so like honestly those two need to have a conversation because that's like a legitimate argument to have with a friend but like what's going on with Danny makes no sense yeah I agree and then we have the boat and to be honest like at when when we first were introduced to Leva I immediately liked her then I felt like she was really kind of spearheading these conversations about Catherine and the emoji which I felt like were really important conversations

but then she was being like a little fake to Catherine, like, making Catherine think that, like, Leva liked her, when it's very clear, like, Leva doesn't like her, you know? I'm not sure. I feel like I was watching the scene when they walk back to the boat, and, like, Leva was giving Catherine, like, some good advice. And so I'm not, I feel like she's trying to, like, give her advice and be there for her, sort of. I don't get the vibe that, vibe that she's completely written her off.

And I don't feel like she's a fake person. But I see what you're saying. It does appear to be fake. When the whole first half of the episode, she's getting together with girls to just talk shit about Catherine. And then she's rubbing Catherine's back and giving her advice before the boat. It feels insincere. I hear you. But then the boat was

just crazy and honestly everyone was at fault yeah i think they were all like so drunk they were literally drinking whole bottles of wine and then like like while they were getting on the boat like pouring them into cups because they're all just telling each other to shut the fuck up even though like uh austin i mean i think austin like, just on another planet. The whole day. Of being wrong all day. And him getting involved in a conversation that had nothing to do with him, like, he's wrong. He was wrong for that. But then Leva took it to another level.

She took it to another level. Just, like, telling him to shut the fuck up three times, which is just, like, a main thing to say. But then, like, Madison getting involved. Like, everyone just started turning around. And the only person who wasn't getting involved was Catherine, who like the whole fight was about. Right, exactly. Which is just funny. It was just like a messy episode, but it was actually a really good episode. And I'm surprised again that the finale is already next week, but I'm not mad because I just, I need. It's a two part, it's a two part finale. So that's like two episodes. Oh, and there's two reunions. So like we still have four more episodes.

Yeah. Shep and Taylor are like actually the cutest, so that's, like, two episodes. Oh, and there's two reunions, so, like, we still have four more episodes. Yeah. Shep and Taylor are, like, actually the cutest couple, and they're just, like, leave me out of this. Like, we have matching towels and matching bathing suits. Like, I'm out of here. And, like, that is, like, the vibe I wish to accumulate, like, on every group trip moving forward for the rest of my life. 100%. And I feel like for one of the first times, like, Shep is, like, realizing why it's so great to be in a relationship. Because you just, like, have a buddy to go exempt yourself from this conversation

with and like let's go put our feet in the water and jump in like let's go have a good time right and that's like the one of the major pluses of being in a relationship because if it were last year or any other year Shep would have been like right in the middle of all the Craig and Austin drama all the Danny and Catherine like he just loves to put himself in in the middle and Austin drama, all the Danny and Catherine. Like he just loves to put himself in the middle. And I think that him being in a relationship is actually really good for him. Yeah. No, I'm very much here for it. And she seems really sweet.
