Good morning, millennials! because it's so deeply painful, and like, and it's honestly embarrassing, like can we just skate past it? I don't think it's embarrassing, I really don't. Of course you don't, because you're the winner in the betrayal, where like, literally my own son, at least, like do you pay his bills? No,

like I literally walk him all the time, feed him, pay his motherfucking bills, bitches subscribe to BarkBox, like still can't sit with me on the show. Oh wait, am I convincing him? is he on the,

I don't know, he's just getting more comfortable, with his auntie. At least he did the betrayal, before the cameras went on, and he didn't like publicly, shame you like that. Yeah but no then you brought it up so you're publicly shaming me. Well I mean nobody's perfect. Maybe this is an April Fool's prank he's playing on you. Oh yeah so I just want to give a disclaimer to the show like we don't have April Fool's pranks for you. I find them annoying. Jackie had like one idea and I didn't like it. I'm like we're just

gonna end up like being offensive. Like of course no my prank was like an idea that I never like actually wanted to do because it's like way too crazy and like you guys couldn't handle it um no like the world couldn't handle it like April Fool's has now become like a sensitive thing like no I feel like I feel like April Fool's I actually think that like COVID was great for April Fool's because it gave like this reset to April Fool's that we all needed and I really am caught off guard like today Dana got me this morning every year she tries to get me what she did some years she has some years she hasn't she texted me and I woke up and I happened to wake up a little earlier I was just like scrolling on my phone and I opened her text first and she like said something about one of the vaccines I don't want

to like spread misinformation and get this video taken down but she was like oh my god like Pfizer vaccine like all these studies just came out like I'm not gonna say because like literally like the video would be taken down April 1st is so sensitive like no like vaccine information is so sensitive right so and I was like oh my god what I was like send me the article and she's I was like, send me the article. And she's like, I can't, April Fool's. Oh God, she's so nerdy. Like that's what she came up with. She lives for April Fool's. I was like, who else do you got?

I think she got a lot of people, but people had been onto her for so many years. Like you have an alarm set, like Dana's texting you, it's April Fool's. But because of COVID, like I feel like people's defenses are really down and like April Fool's is, they're having success. No, the key to April Fool's is just like catching someone who um doesn't realize it's April 1st yet you know

that's why you have to do it in the morning. She always sends the morning text like she literally wakes up early it's like her birthday I swear she loves April Fool's um and she got me today she really did. So just be on alert from like your favorite like influencers and celebrities like pulling pranks on you like Ben did one this morning that I actually thought was pretty funny um but all in all I'm like not into pranks so there are no pranks here today people rely on this show we're gonna give you the same old regular show nothing crazy no pranks we're not pranking anyone theo stop eating the plant theo theo come come to me or is he or is it a prank oh everything today i'm gonna be like is it a prank is it not i can't

leave my house because i'm just gonna be paranoid like that people are pranking me. Yeah. And also I'm just going to like use this as an excuse to stay off social media because I'm not in the mood to have my like emotions toyed with. Yeah. Like someone already sent me something and it's like they got fooled and then they're sending it to me like, look at this. And I'm like, you fool.

Yeah. You're a fool. Fool me once. No. And also I just I'm really hoping that this year we don't have any moronic celebrities or influencers who do like a fake pregnancy announcement because like we're so beyond that as a society it's just like not acceptable I just don't know who would like Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber did it like two years ago oh did they and they got so much shit for it good

rightfully so that's not a funny prank no it's not a funny prank like for those who are pranked nor for the prankies like you could have a baby one day, so why would you want to make a joke about it? Yeah. No, it's just weird. So hopefully nobody does anything idiotic like that. I'm sure someone will. Don't worry. Yeah.

No, that's the one thing I can always rely on people on the internet for, to do something stupid. And then I just watch. Mwahaha. Mwahaha. But no pranks here today. And that's not a prank either. We're fully just doing a regular show.

It's hard to tell, though. Sometimes you just never know what could happen on April Fool's. I know. I am getting a haircut today, so I'm excited. I think I'll maybe get a bob. April Fool's! I think you should get a bob. I know.

I kind of just want to do something drastic. I say that every time, and then I get the same, like, three-inch trim with layers and angles. You know, like... I honestly think you should get curtain bangs. Like, everyone's doing it, and I think some people, like, are doing it who shouldn't be doing it but I think like it would suit you the curtain bang no I'm like I'm I'm open to it also like me I'm so out of touch like I thought the snitch invented curtain bangs but they're everywhere it's like a trend on TikTok no I know now I know that now so like I'm just kind of hesitant to take like permanent beauty solutions

and trends from TikTok like okay when it comes to trying a foundation like I'll try a foundation but cutting my hair because someone on TikTok told me to I don't know if that's a level of like loser I can get to I don't know I think for some people though it's like it's the right move 100% I'm not saying and I'm saying I think for you like it could be the right move I just want to see you do something crazy like I'm gonna think about it pixie cut change it up stop so just like spam me with like your favorite hair inspiration photos so I can like get some inspiration yeah we love inspiration speaking of nothing that we were just talking about new episode of the redheads dropped this morning of being inspired totally new episode of the redheads dropped I'm wearing my redheads merch like in support of me and my gals also like you can still

get redheads merch at shop morningtoast.com this is literally my favorite sweater ever by the way the rascal flat song me and my gang is you and the redheads 100 you should photoshop your heads on that we live to rock me and my gang to live that's you guys we we live to read we read to live so true oh my god we should put that on a mug yeah um so head over to the redheads book club listen to the episode read the book snitch's choice just drop for next month except i just saw a comment that like it's not available to purchase anywhere so like that might be a problem what yeah someone was like i can't find out my kindle like if it's not on the kindle then it doesn't yeah it ain't good then it's nowhere so um stay tuned on that but yeah it's always a great time to be a redhead

feels like a particularly good time and other than that it's super windy and rainy here in New York today but thank god you are here to break that wind no I know like that's what I do best break wind and um Jackie convinced me to get this jacket when we were in Dallas and I made a commitment to myself like if I'm gonna buy a Fendi jacket then I'm going to wear it oh so many times that like at this point based on what I paid for it pays for itself I now I think like each time I wear it it cuts the the price of the jacket like in half yeah and I feel like now I'm literally at like $50 for this jacket $50 for wear huge bargain yeah such a bargain such a bargain such a great investment I would say a great great investment it's such a cute jacket by a great investor thank you yes I'm here to break the wind we have like

four good days in New York. We really thought like spring had sprung and now it's like 30 degrees. It's raining and it's cold. Yeah but you know what like that's kind of my mood today. I'm just in a over it. I mean Thursday like we have so much to look forward to. Like I just want everyone to take a moment to realize kind of acknowledge this space that we're in because it goes by so fast. Please lay it out for us. We actually have things to look forward to on this Thursday. Like, okay, yeah, tomorrow's Friday. So it's like a half a fake day at work. Also, it's Good Friday. So you might have off, right? Oh, yeah. Not really. Okay. Might not.

But you might be able to like celebrate with your family and, you know, honor the spirit of Christ, right? A hundred percent. So that's exciting. It might be a very good Friday. Good Friday, millennials. And then we have the weekend. And like, I don't know, I just feel like we're always like lamenting on the other side of the weekend. And if we're going to do that, I feel like we should balance it out and really talk about how grateful we are to like be alive on this Thursday and have so much to look forward to.

Not only do we have a Friday, a good Friday to look forward to, we have a Saturday and a Sunday. And I just think I would be remiss, devastated and heartbroken if I just didn't at least acknowledge the space that we're currently living in. That's all I'm trying to say. to look forward to. We have a Saturday and a Sunday. And I just think I would be remiss, devastated, and heartbroken if I just didn't at least acknowledge the space that we're currently living in. That's all I'm trying to say. And also, Sunday is Easter. And so, like...

Oh, yeah, I'm going to an Easter party. Like, Easter brunch plenie vibes. Like, that's something to look forward to as well. Also, thank you for reminding me. As long as we're warning people, you know, be on the lookout for... She has risen captions.

Be on the lookout for April Fool's. This is your message. Like, do not make your Instagram caption she has risen be on the lookout for april fools this is your message like do not make your instagram caption she has risen or he has risen on easter because like about yourself learn from my mistakes people don't think that's funny even though i still think it was like a funny clever caption but i'm never trying to hurt people you know yeah especially on a special day for them 100 so i don't know who needs to hear that but it's not a good caption and it's no longer socially acceptable well April Fool's do it so yeah no thank you for taking that moment to acknowledge the space that we are in I'm really looking forward to the weekend it's so important to constantly be acknowledging the space that

you're currently in do you know what I'm saying 100 that's how people on clubhouse talk you know especially if you're in a no stop don't install a clubhouse like that like that's how people on like podcasts talk no people on clubhouse it's very like vc it is but there I like I find at least the ones that I've joined like they're actually saying stuff no the ones that I join are like about bravo and the toast so like they're obviously substantial joined about like business or like society and culture like I find that they're actually stuff, not like it's important to acknowledge the space that you're in. Oh, actually, I completely disagree.

I think like that, what I, the joke I just made, like it's completely accurate. I think that's how people on podcasts talk. No, no, no, no. Not this podcast. Of course not. Obviously, you should always cultivate your vibe, but. Always. People on like other podcasts.

Well, you know what? At the end of the day, whether or not we agree or disagree, I think we can both agree that it's so important to constantly be acknowledging the space that you're currently in. A hundred percent. And just to play off of that. Oh, yeah. And to piggyback. I think it's so important to acknowledge when you're in a positive space.

I agree. Because. All jokes aside. Because as humans, we're so inclined to acknowledge when we're in a negative space. Yep. That in order to achieve balance and mindfulness, we must also acknowledge when we're in a negative space that in order to achieve balance and mindfulness we must also acknowledge when we're in that positive space I'm so 100% in agreement with you you are so smart and I think we should circle back and kind of follow up on that by end of day yeah for sure but also acknowledge like that we're in that space right Theo if you don't stop eating

the plant pardon me one moment okay I'll sing a song about Theo eating the McPlant. Tiggs and his plant. He lives to plant. He plans to live. Tiggs and... What are you getting? Oh, treats for Theo. Do, do, do, do.

Sorry, guys. Just had to take care of my son. Come up here. All the way up here. You should keep treats with you there. Oh, took the treat and ran. You know what? Theo's like maybe going through a growth spurt or something.

He's being like hella disrespectful recently. I don't know. I feel like he's been really respectful towards me. I'm happy for you. We have a great show, by the way, because not only do we have the Fast Five stories, but Real Housewives of New Jersey was flaming. Well, well no that's not the right word like on fire on fire last night such a good episode and i thought like after last week's episode we would kind of take a reprieve from like all the drums no but the first five minutes of the episode last night were like

some of the craziest things it was literally croutons flying like cheese plate was it cheese it was cheese it looked like croutons no no who has that many croutons i know i thought it was literally croutons flying like cheese plate was it cheese it was cheese it looked like croutons no no who has that many croutons i know i thought it was weird i'm like where's the lettuce it was cheese cube cheese okay no but like everyone was like going to 100 and then like right back down to zero so literally melissa like throwing the plate and then immediately cleaning it up it's like saying something and then being and then being like wait i'm sorry like being like wait what did you say like no one could remember what they said like were they all so drunk was jackie drunk belligerent we'll talk about it because it was such a good episode and honestly if you've been thinking about getting into housewives like I would honestly just like pick

up maybe from like last season of Jersey because there's so much history to Jersey and right now I feel like maybe it's not that applicable but it's such a good season I was just like not expecting that no from this season of New Jersey Jersey every outing that they have is so precarious like is someone gonna explode it's literally a minefield it's a volatile group of women and men yeah no and it's like okay we finally simmered her volcano Teresa and Jackie but like then bubbling beneath the surface we have Jennifer Aiden and I have to say like I've always liked Jennifer because I think she's an interesting girl and she's funny and all that jazz um but I've officially turned on her because she crossed the line with Margaret therefore she

crossed the line with me agreed and Jennifer Aiden might fall um under the not yet but she gives me Dorinda vibes in the sense where it's like she could be as like funny and catchphrasey as you want but if you continually say like horrible, unethical things like turkey baster comment like that, to me, Dorinda's turkey baster comment is the same as Jennifer, what? No, nothing. Is that one of my examples I always use that you're going to make fun of me from now on? Yeah. So fucking annoying. Whatever. All I'm saying, it's like the same level of depravity as Jennifer.

I'm kidding. Thank you. As Jennifer Aiden's most recent comment, which was really disgusting. Yeah, no, I wouldn't associate the two. To me, Jennifer Aiden is a recent comment which was really disgusting yeah no I I wouldn't associate the two to me Jennifer Aiden is a little more endearing I because I I like Jennifer at times but a lot of people like Dorinda no but I don't so to me she's more endearing but below the belt yes I agree yeah and it gets really old really fast but Jersey is like one of those franchises like OC where they just like constantly go below the belt yeah and that's where they they live but they also like don't talk about like certain things.

It's very confusing. Old school family Italian. You can't talk about family. Yeah. You can talk about like these three categories, but you can go so fucking hard on the others that it's like, what's the difference? It doesn't even matter. Yeah.

What's the difference? So that will be in our TV recap segment at the end of the show. And I do believe. Without further ado. Yeah. Without further ado. Do do do. Do do do. Do do do do do do do

do do do April Fool's without further ado do do it is time for the Fast Five Stories that you need to know before you wake up

Things are coming out about Jen and this is not news to me, but the news is treating it as news and I want to talk about it.

Jen Shah's house, the infamous Shah Ski Chalet, is an alleged fraud too. Real Housewives star Jen Shah was arrested on Tuesday for alleged money laundering and defrauding hundreds of elderly people in a telemarketing scam, but her alleged victims weren't the only ones getting faked out, so were Bravo fans. The star became notorious for her flamboyant fashions and her friendship faux pas

and the Shah ski chalet that she lived in, a $3.9 million Salt Lake City rental she grandly passed off as the Shaw Chalet never actually belonged to her the post has learned yes we we've been knowing this we didn't know this we talked about this on the show that she was renting her house but like it never bubbled up to more but now it's like and apparently in the past Andy has even said like he doesn't understand the concept of renting at all.

He said it's just throwing money away, especially a huge home. I don't get it. This was not something that was asked of her on the show at all. Like and also it came up. Brandi Redmond brought it up on another on her podcast, I think. And then like she didn't even say it was Jen. She said one of the Salt Lake City housewives is renting from like a friend of mine. And then Jen like clapped back at her. You want to come for me with your red hair and bullshit come harder honey wow Jen Shaw for someone who had so many skeletons in the closet she really acted like a maniac like you would

think if you have that much to hide you would kind of just like be nice to people and like put up like like a facade um of course we knew that this house was rented we've said it multiple times on the show um And that's not shocking. But I do have to say, like, there are very few housewives in certain franchises. I think in certain cities it's more acceptable to rent. I think in New York a lot of people rent. Yeah. So it doesn't, like, raise as many eyebrows. But, like, when Dorit and PK were renting that house that J.Lo used to live in,

now they live in a different house that I believe that they bought. Yeah. But they have had some questionable financial stuff too. So like in certain cities, it does kind of make me question, you know? Yeah. Like, but you know, and Karen Huger is renting her new house in Potomac, but she's been very open about their tax problem. So like that makes sense.

Right. And unless there's a really good reason, like I'm pretty sure, did we not hear that one of the other Salt Lake City housewives was renting too but also because she doesn't live in Salt Lake City no Heather yeah yeah lives in Park City proper and there's like tons of limitations on whether or not you can film in certain areas and Heather was not allowed to film in her actual home so I believe they rented a home like to set the scene for her fake home yeah that's a different story yeah I believe the home that she has in Park City like she owns yeah so I agree but to pass off a home like as completely your own when especially when it's so big like and then I the other um part of the story is that

they found the home that she did own up until 2020 and it is a very modest small mid-size I would say art deco yeah yeah and it's not the chalet you could fit like probably six of those homes in the chalet if you're just looking for you know scale reference yeah so on the one hand this whole situation like makes me like question other house wives I'm like okay if there was like where there's smoke it's apparently where there's smoke there's fire like yeah or some of my other housewives, like, is there a fire, a blaze? Well, I mean, it's not being. On the other hand, though, I feel like Bravo really, or in certain situations, like, obviously I'm thinking of Dorit and PK.

Their finances have been questioned. They did interviews on the show where, like, the producers are grilling them about their finances, and they're both sitting there, like, trying to answer questions. And so I'm like, okay, Bravo was asking, is asking the questions, but, like, I feel like Bridget and Shaw like nobody was asking nobody knew to ask the questions like I don't know they knew she was renting her house yeah but there are a ton of like housewives who live beyond their means for the show so I guess yes production could have like pushed her a little

bit and pressed harder on like how all of this makes sense on like a you know assistant college football coach's salary but I think they like to keep the you know the dream alive you know yeah but they press Mary yeah yeah they do so hers was more obviously confusing in my opinion because I don't understand how you can like own churches aren't churches non-profit like I just had more questions about Mary when I really should have been having more questions about Jen I was just like damn how did she get so much but like then there's also I have so many questions about like Leanne Lockett and like she admittedly was the poorest housewife on that franchise but had nicer designer clothing bags jewelry than any of the other women like it didn't make any sense yeah yeah that is still one of the great mysteries of our lifetime yeah like every single scene she was showing up she came on the toes twice each time in different Gucci and Chanel looks yeah head to toe head to

toe um wait also you sent me something this morning about Jen Shah which is like super fucking crazy because now people are just like questioning all the telemarketing phone calls they've ever gotten and somebody like dug up this like voicemail they got from a telemarketing scheme where the woman is calling you know to press about the the person's like student loans and like swear to god the woman is Jen Shah it sounds similar to Jen Shah it's crazy what account was it that I sent it um it was just so you guys can go and listen for yourselves it was so crazy when you sent it to me like my bravo bravo ducking bravo bravo bravo and they and they also have like a lot of other stuff about Jen's previous home. And so if you want more information about that, take a listen. But the moral of this story is do not pick up the phone. It's Derek Smith.

Yeah. Do not answer the phone. It's Jen Shaw. Yeah. Oh man, that's so fucking funny. We need to, if you work, if you're a video editor, like somebody make that scene in the elevator and have it be, do not answer this phone it's Derek Smith to to Jen Shaw that is so fucking funny so funny and if you haven't watched Confessions of a Shopaholic yet you absolutely need to I don't know how you watch this show and haven't seen Confessions of a Shopaholic when we literally quote it like almost every single show oh so sad for the fiscal family for the whole fish family but like we say so many things that I think or like men like you are the reason I left Finland so much drama and successful we say so many quotes that like I don't even think people know what they're what people probably

associate it like with the toast as opposed to the original movie which is fine with me which is fine with me but definitely treat yourself the girl in the green scarf it's such a good movie it's such a good movie I feel like most people have seen it but you made a good point to me like a year ago that I never realized by that movie like it didn't flop but it didn't become like an iconic film that it should have because it was released like right during the recession so it's like this frivolous like out of touch they can't stop shopping no one was in the mood right right during the 2008 housing crisis yeah yeah so I think now um well it's also like another crisis big one it's like never a good time for that it's never a good time for that movie but it's also always a good

time for that movie i agree check it out if you haven't yet like content upper for sure galore i don't know what platform it's on but it's definitely on like a netflix or a hulu you're ready for our next story it reminds me of your windbreaker okay t. Tiffany Haddish rewears her iconic Alexander McQueen gown for the eighth time in People's Beautiful Issue. Oh, I love that she is not letting this joke go. No, I love this joke. I love that she's not letting it go. It's still a stunning, beautiful dress, and now it's back.

You know the one. The Alexander McQueen halter gown that she wore to the Academy Awards, the MTV Movie Awards, and while hosting SNL, is making another show-stopping appearance, this time in People's 2021 Beautiful Issue. She said, this is the longest-running joke in Hollywood. It's the gown that keeps on giving.

It's true. When asked what her boyfriend, Common, says about the dress. I forgot that they're dating. I know. She told people that he thinks it's hilarious. Oh my God. It is hilarious.

I'm like living for this space Tiffany Haddish is in. She rose to such astronomical success so fast, like from that movie Girl Trip. And now I just feel like she's like living her best life. I feel like she was doing the most for like two years, just like being like the premier female comedian. And now she can kind of relax. Like she's hosting game shows and she's just like living with her boyfriend

and her Alexander McQueen dress. And I'm just like, I want to be in the space that Tiffany Haddish is in like forever yeah totally and she's looking stunning and beautiful and smart while doing it I love that she's keeping this joke going like I 100% respect and relate to the fact that like I think when she bought it she just like wasn't famous enough to be like gifted a designer gown but like she was like pretty famous so she just bought it herself and it was like eight grand yeah and so she's like I'm gonna make the most of it it's literally like the windbreaker I will call this dress an investment and I think she's worn eight times yeah this is her eighth time so now it's a thousand dollars for dress and eight dresses for one thousand dollars

each and also it's like an amazing dress on her like it's like a glove so sickening a steal a steal I'm really happy for her that she's really getting her money's worth yeah and I'm sure like this year there wasn't really anywhere to wear it and I'm sure she was like oh the dress has to be shelved for a year we can't have the joke die but the dress is back and I'm I I'm so happy to see the dress as am I so also happy that she's in people's most beautiful yeah I guess maybe my email went to spam when they reached out for yeah no I heard that you were busy and and Theo was busy and so... Theo's actually really offended. He's kind of, you know, taking a stand against people.

Oh. That he wasn't included. Because he was supposed to be sexiest man alive. The plan is shaking behind you. Okay, should I just... I feel like this is giving me flashbacks back to when Theo was a puppy and he wouldn't behave. Yeah. No, I wonder what's going on with him.

First he betrays, and then he's, like, going for the McPlant. Do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. Come here, Theo. Okay. I'm sorry about that, you guys. It's okay. What Theo, yesterday he, like, made the show, and then today he's, like, just trying to

Right. Means nothing. Means nothing.

No respect for the bunk. No trust. No whatsoever. No trust. Hate to see it. Are you ready for our next story? A little content news? Sure.

Netflix buys Knives Out sequels for $450 million. They're making a sequel? Knives Out 2 and Knives Out 3. Netflix is plunking down an astounding $450 million for the rights to those two movies. The next two follow-ups from the 2019 Murder Mystery sources tell Variety. I just feel like like that's a movie that like doesn't need a sequel. I know that's not the story. It was like a perfect ending. Yeah like it was just like a perfect perfect. Yeah so. I wonder if it's the films will reunite director Rian Johnson and star Daniel

Craig who teamed up so memorably on the first one. I wonder if it's, the films will reunite director Rian Johnson and star Daniel Craig, who teamed up so memorably on the first one. I wonder if it's going to be like Daniel Craig goes and does a whole new. Other mysteries. Yeah, like I guess no Ana de Armas. Oh, okay. That actually sounds like a better concept for a movie, even though I loved the cast very much. Me too.

And I loved Ana de Armas in it. I loved Ana de Armas and I loved the Chris whose last name I don't know. I want to say, let me guess. Evans? I think so. Captain that was him right yeah Evans yeah he's so handsome he keeps coming up on my for you page like sweet things like not him specifically like his fan accounts being like oh my god this man and it's like every time like he's done an award show and like helped someone up the stairs like who won it's just like he's so manly oh that's sweet yeah remember there was that rumor he was dating veil yes from vanderpump rules i think about that all the time i know you do and then you talk about it all the time every single time he comes up it's the craziest thing do you think they actually did did you guys remember

that random girl veil i always get her name confused i I sometimes call her Aspen. I just know she's like a popular ski destination. But I want to say her name is Vale. It was a different Chris who dated her. Okay, whatever. I can't go back here. I think it was a pine. I can't go back to this place. I can't go back to this place either.

Whatever. Okay, moving on. Knives Out, two and three. Coming to Netflix for $450 million. I hope you guys liked it that much. Okay, like I know that Netflix is like a really big company and they make their money by like, you know, charging everyone $11 a month. And then now, like, doubling down on that.

I just don't understand how they have that much money. Like, for two movies, $450 million. Well, the first movie was made on a $40 million budget, and it earned $311 million. No, I get it. It's an investment. But movies earn... But it's not a beautiful windbreaker, so I can't imagine it can get much better. No, but, it. It's an investment. But movies earn... But it's not a beautiful windbreaker,

so I can't imagine they're going to get much back. No, but like, okay, play this out with me. Like, okay, you... In a studio, $40 million. It made $300 million in theaters and DVD

and on demand. Netflix gives it away for free to their customers. To their subscribers. But like, they think... I guess the gamble here is that even more people are going

to subscribe because they love Knives Out 1 they've got to see 2 and 3 they're just Netflix is very much giving me Jen Shah vibes that's all I'm trying to say they also need to keep their customers happy happy Netflix was giving me Jen Shah vibes until the pandemic and now it's like they're just making money hand over fist yeah I just don't know how like how do you how does Netflix monetize other than charging us for our subscription I'm sure they probably sell our data no no but like that's period period oh okay period you don't need multiple revenue streams once you're selling people's data just ask Jen Shah and you have a like the subscription that they have yeah I guess that's good yeah I think i think they're okay okay next story is really

going to test your memory oh god do you remember back in 2015 the twitter thread that went viral zola yes zola how did you see the story yeah zola the movie it's all over tiktok oh okay zola the movie is here i know now that the story is the basis for Zola the movie it made its debut last year at Sundance's film festival and will hit theaters this summer. Let's give people a little background. Okay in 2015 a Twitter thread went viral detailing the Odessian saga of Isaiah Minow, Zola King, a Detroit waitress and dancer who embarked on a mind-boggling road trip to Florida with a schemer she met just hours before. The schemer's name was Jen Cha.

It's a 148-tweet thread that goes through all of the twists and turns of this trip that she took, and it was crazy. And it went viral. Then someone bought the rights to the Twitter thread and the story, said they were going to make a movie. They made a movie. Here it is. It's crazy how, like, we got a Sully movie, like, before Sully even finished landing the plane on the Hudson.

But this movie took, like, five years. Yeah. Well, Sully landed. Oh, it was a beautiful day. Jackie is, like, a Sully. I'm Sully Stan. You know what I'm saying? Like, they make movies for people before they're even dead.

Like, and it's like, why did this one take so long no i agree sounds a little budget but i do feel like the longer it takes the better it's gonna be agreed sometimes i feel like it's almost inauthentic when a movie comes out so quickly it's like oh okay 13 15 to paris yeah that movie came out literally while the men were still on the train like it was so fucking quick yeah no i agree it's like we need time time time curious time yeah like I think American Sniper did a good job of like honoring Chris Kyle but like waiting an appropriate amount of time yeah but that was also not a story that like most people knew yeah that's true you know yeah we've just gotten into like this weird cycle of like making movies so fast after like

major historical events and tragedies and it it's like, give people time. No, time. And also like, let it play out, you know? Right, like things could happen years later. Yeah, or just like the way that it sits, you know? You gotta let it ruminate. A hundred and more than that. It is so important to ruminate. And while you're ruminating, it's also important to, you know, acknowledge the time you're

currently living in. It's important to acknowledge the rumination stage. A hundred and more. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? It's a little charitable news. It's the fifth and final. Doo doo doo doo. Doo doo doo doo doo.

Doo doo doo doo. Doo doo doo doo doo doo. Doo doo doo. Doo doo doo. Doo doo. April Fools, guys. We're kidding. We're just like so crazy April Fool's bit of a story Kylie Jenner donates five hundred thousand dollars to help a teen cancer to help teen cancer patients in honor of friend Harry Hudson oh Kylie is honoring her

friend Harry Hudson a singer songwriter and cancer survivor by helping teens undergoing cancer treatment the star donated half a million dollars alongside funds from non-profit organization team cancer america to build a new lounge space at children's hospital at vanderbilt the area will serve the unique needs of adolescent and young adult cancer patients according to a release i mean i just love kylie and i really am very defensive of her. This does feel like a nice fuck you to all the people who are like, you only dated $5,000 to the good fun week for your makeup artist. Yeah. So it's like Kylie's very philanthropic.

And let's just stop counting other people's money, you know? Totally. I'm sure someone will find a way to make this a negative story. But until then, I think it's a positive. And considering she was getting charity shamed last week, I thought it was important to share her charitable acts of this week you know the whole charity shaming space is so confusing because like no okay we charity shame people who don't do charity or they're just not sharing it so it's like but then when they do share it it's like why are you sharing and it's also not enough so it's like what do we do you know yeah

it's very confusing Taylor Swift L Elle Rhodes lead back to Taylor Swift. But like. No, if you find yourself in the business of charity shaming, maybe take a look. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe recognize the space that you're in. I don't even want to say anything else because that was so perfectly worded. Should we end the show?

Thank you so much for listening to. No, we have to talk about the Real Houses of New Jersey. The Real Houses of New Jersey last night was impeccable. Here's a few things that I immediately noticed. Okay. Need a house in the Jersey Shore and honestly just want to buy Melissa's out from underneath her. I just want Melissa's or to contract Joe Gorga to build me the copycat. Because from the front of the house, it's very unassuming. Looks like, you know, a like a mid-century ranch but it obviously has this like insane back seven bedrooms the back yard the patio the pool the the ocean the bar like and it's so well done it's amazing it's amazing and like should they obviously like are just like the

best versions of themselves there you know no like they are so happy. It was, it, I really wanted to be there, but I was also just really happy for them. Me too. Like, Melissa just, like, making daiquiri, like, the outdoor bar is so sickening, the boat, the jet skis, like, there was just so many, so many fun times to be had there. Yeah, I would be, like, really upset if, like, the Gorgomoney wasn't real, because I like how they spend it. Like, they do it in a nice family friendly way. Yeah, no, I think I, well, here here's the thing I wonder how long you're on tv if you're like running you know some sort of criminal enterprise how long are you on tv before like the feds find out you know I feel like they've there have surpassed that's true you know like

Jen Chow was one season I feel like even for Teresa it was like two seasons three no like four like two seasons three no like four I don't know yeah I know I know more no I know what you mean you know so I think they're um safe I mean I don't want to jinx it but I just really um I love them as a couple and I loved that they finally like stood up for themselves in the face of Teresa because they're in this space where like they fully understand what's going on between everything and everyone they're very clug like they understand the how the world works Teresa just kind of lives in her own head so she doesn't really understand what's going on between everything and everyone they're very clugged like they understand the world how the world works Teresa just kind of lives in her own head so she doesn't really understand what's going on but for Melissa and Joe it's just like constantly getting beaten down by Teresa and then also being expected to defend

her and it's just like this impossible dynamic to want to keep the family peace but also like at what sacrifice like to what end do we just keep our sister happy while she literally berates us yeah no and they both just fucking lost their minds and I was like happy for them I was happy for them too I think that it needed to happen when Joe when Joe Gorga said that no man has ever taken away more from him than Joe Giudice I like felt that in my soul and I and he got he was so angry and and I know it was just like all the for him and Melissa like they've been holding this in I'm sure every night before they go to bed they

just like talk shit and they're like but we'll never say it for the interest of keeping the peace of the family and I have a lot of respect for that but there's only so much someone can do and it's like they'll try and keep the peace as long as possible but when Teresa's starting to start with them when she breaks the peace it's like oh you want to break it here's what we think yeah and the dinner was so insane for a multitude of reasons one she told Melissa to shut up when they were literally just talking like how fucking disrespectful is that like Jennifer Aiden you're all so concerned with how Marge talks to her husband look at how your fucking best friend talks to her sister like it's disgusting disgusting then keeps bringing it back to Joe Giudice saying that like uh Melissa

Dolores and Joe Gorga need to apologize to Teresa for saying he was going to take her money first of all okay yes they were wrong but they were just worried about you like and they don't know anyone anything no then Joe Gorga said that Joe Giudice is releasing this article about him like saying he is dirt on Joe Gorga and like threatening him and like Teresa does nothing so then Teresa's getting into her dumb fight with Jackie again and Melissa and Joe were just expected to like come to the rescue right it's so asinine and so backwards so backwards and I just loved when they exploded I really did no I loved all of the different explosions and like there were so many other fights and like I felt like people even know like what was happening when Margaret for

like 0.5 seconds turned on Jackie I was glad because Jackie was being out of control and I have to I hope like for the sake they're fine no no I know that they're fine like was she so drunk because her emotions were just like all over the place right because she spent most of the dinner just being like I'm, stop worrying about me. And then, like, she was literally a puddle of tears, like, inconsolable. And the fact that she would, like, come away from that and be so upset with Joe Benigno, like, stop. And I'm so glad.

I think the next morning she wasn't. And I thought Margaret handled it expertly. And, like, she. Margaret was in a tough spot. She was in a tough spot, but, like, she didn't back down from anyone. And Jackie needed to be told like, stop. Like you can't just be a big baby. You know, and by the way, like I, it just wasn't made clear like how Joe Benigno said it.

Because yes, he did say he heard it, but that they didn't believe it. And it's like, he's not a paid housewife. He doesn't say things to like stir up drama and create plot lines. He was just a guy like sharing. Like I felt so bad for him when he was sitting at that meal like he just like had unbeknownst to him like made a colossal fuck up yeah and like literally turned this whole thing upside down and gave so much credibility to Teresa without knowing it yeah and I felt so bad for him I felt so bad for Marge and then I did feel bad for Jackie and I

feel like Melissa was really the only one making like bringing people back down to earth just be like look at this girl like she's fucking broken we're talking about her marriage like that's off limits to us like why why won't you stop and I actually had a lot of respect for Melissa for going up against Teresa and just being like look at this girl like look what you're doing it's her marriage and I understand Teresa like you don't have a fucking marriage right now maybe you can't understand what that's like but like at some point like just let it go yeah so I think things had to get really bad before they could get a little bit better I also the relationship between Teresa and Joe and her brother is just like the kiss on the lips oh no I'm not worried about that but like it's no Teresa

is in love with her brother like okay thank you is that what you're trying to say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah like if Joe tells her to do something, she'll do it because she loves him. No, and she's just, like, I think it's really hard for her. And I think, like, if you want to, like, I'm not, you know, a family therapist, but, like, if you want to get down to the root

of, like, her disdain for Melissa that's always coming. Joe Gorg has a husband she wished she had. No, and, like, yeah, she wants to be, like, married to her brother. No, like, not in a sexual way, but in, like, that's the exact type of guy. No, and like, yeah, she wants to be like married to her brother. No, like not in a sexual way, but in like, that's the exact type of guy.

Melissa takes away like, like time and energy and love from Teresa, like because she's his wife and like there's like a jealousy that's not just like girl stuff. It's like sibling. Yeah, no, it's weird for 100%.

But I like love Joe and Melissa's marriage so much. And I really think like no one's in a tougher spot than Joe. Like having to choose. And I have a lot of respect for him that he will always defend his wife like against his sister. And it's not hard because his sister's always wrong. But he also like does the best that he can and not like blowing it up.

Piling on to Teresa. Like he jumps in when it's absolutely necessary. But like he tries to defend her as much as possible. And that's really all you can ask for. It was just like uncomfortable watching so many parts of it like of course when joe margaret and jackie were fighting like i literally wanted to die and then watching jackie and her crazy ass hair extensions just like sob in delores and frank's living room like it was so fucking crazy it was when jackie went back to to Melissa's and called her husband, like, again, I'm just. In the foyer.

I'm operating under the guise that she was so drunk. Because it's the only way that, like, I can make sense of any of it. Rationalize. And, like, literally piling onto him. And it's, like, in this instance, like, Jackie just needs to be stronger, like, for her family. And, like, she'll. Like, her husband. It obviously really affects him and his business.

Like, she needs to internalize she's not like she's just making everything like bigger bigger and worse and she needs to shoulder more of it like i'm sorry no i know like this is your this is your world don't get me wrong theresa started this whole thing and theresa is unequivocally wrong but the way jackie's handling it is made it into a full-blown storyline and And then now she's like, I'm not giving life to this. It's like, this is a teenager now. No, literally. Like, it's so silly.

And that conversation. I actually, like, never have had less respect for Teresa than when she, like, said she didn't want to talk to Evan. She's like, no, you could talk to him. Like, you know. And Jackie's like, no, I think you should talk to him. Like, really? You're going to run your mouth at his birthday party, talk shit about him, not back down. And you won't even say one fucking word to his face.

Like, and you pretend like you're so confident and strong. Really, bitch? Like, that is the most cowardly shit I've ever seen. No, it gets worse. More cowardly when in her interview, she's like, I'm old school. Like, the husband and wife sorted out. But I guess they have a different sort of marriage. Yeah, like a marriage.

Yeah. One where they don't send each other to jail she was off her fucking rocker last night like the fact that she had literally the gall to say to Jackie like I don't think I want to talk to your husband like after all you fucking done you don't even have the testicle to speak to this man I just I found it appalling because you know what say what you want about Teresa but she's a fucking beast she's strong she could go up against anyone and now she's a fucking beast. She's strong. She could go up against anyone.

And now she's like, I don't want to talk to your husband. I don't want to talk to a boy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, what are you, fucking 11? It was crazy to me. I was floored. And I never had less respect for this woman in my life than I did her standing, talking to Jackie. No, I don't want to talk to him.

What? What? It was crazy. I have to be honest. The worst moment of the episode for me. No. Where I literally, my hand was like this. I was like so feeling so awkward. I can't, I can't. It was the worst moment when they're on the boat and Teresa's taking pictures. Oh my God. Yes. Yes. Of Jackie and Evan. Trying to be like sweet trying to be sweet being like kiss and it's like you're literally trying to break this couple apart like trying to be like i totally forgot

about that and it's like i wanted to appreciate her effort but she's done so much damage and she's been so wrong i i can't help but cringe i'm gonna like be sick no it was sick i'm gonna go i'm going back in though no that's and the fact that like Jackie and Evan like obliged debated and like it was community theater like it was fucking awful no I've never felt so much from the community theater oh my god um also then things like took another turn at lunch when the guys get up and Margin and shout out to the guys like they handled it like pros because obviously you can't shut the conversation down this is your wives jobs they're on a show but everything is so much more heated and personal

when the men are there because they're literally talking about the men but the men don't want to get involved in like stand up for their wives which I completely and they don't want to turn their backs on each other like guys night right they're friends like no I have so much respect for Frank Catania by the way he did not say one word in the car about joe benigno and he did not say one word at dinner about so much respect for him i have so much respect for joe gorg up being like men up yeah out yeah take your salads and let's go um but it was like melissa i mean uh margaret and jennifer aiden like kept saying below the belt things to each other. But Jennifer fucking started it. Like things were finally going well.

She's the one who brought up last night. And then she just completely fucking lost the whole thing. I can't believe that she brought up the night before. Like finally it was smoothed over. Like what are you doing? Of course the boss comment was like so below the belt. Like took a vulnerable moment and used it and weaponized it. But to me the initial crime is even bringing up

last night because even if you're not going to get into a fight with Margaret why would you put Jackie and Teresa like back in that place what are you trying to do you claim to be Teresa's friends like why are you bringing this back up I'm so turnt on Jennifer like and even though this is probably not even the worst thing she's ever done I know turn to I know it's hard because like you want to like her like her family stuff is like funny and interesting and she is such a great style and I live for her husband but unfortunately that's not enough to negate all of the negativity that she brings and after like her bringing up last night and what she said to Margaret anything that Margaret has now said about her fair game I agree even that word I agree and also the concubine comment what's a concubine comment. What's a concubine? Um, like, it's really mean.

Well, it's like, she's basically said like, because Jennifer was like, I can't believe you talked to your husband that way, which by the way, is such a nasty thing to say. Like. Of course. Stay out of people's fucking marriages. And then Margaret was like, well, yeah, you can't talk to your husband in any other way because he's your fucking meal ticket, you concubine. Yeah.

A woman who lives with a man but has lower status than his wife or wives. Didn't even know there was a word for that. Yeah. And also that's like the word that, um, that I think, um, did Candace call Ashley Darby a concubine?

I have no idea. I swear I've never, I've never heard that word. I believe that she did. It's like a biblical term and it's, it's like, like whore. It's, but it's like so word. I believe that cheated. It's like a biblical term and it's like. Like whore. It's, but it's like so specific and poignant.

Yeah, no. Like, and the fact that Margaret was just able to like pull that SAT word out of her back pocket. We have no choice but to respect. No, but see, like, I think of course, like the, the sleeping with the boss comment was so atrocious, but like, it really riled me up when she said like, I can't believe you talked to your husband that way. Like, first of all, you don't know how people communicate second of all stay the fuck out of

people's marriages like it was so it kind of bothered us learning that it bothered me like more than all the other stuff like because if somebody ever said that to me I would be like mind your own fucking business like 100% and she was just trying to make Margaret look so bad like yeah you talk down to your husband like it it was just like really, really disrespectful. So I'm fully team fucking Margaret. I'm 100% team Margaret. Never looking back. I'm very upset with Jennifer. And you know what?

I actually walked out of the episode with a little bit more respect for Dolores. Because for me, Dolores' blind spot has always been Teresa. Like Dolores has had a really unique way of being the real moral compass of the show. Except when it comes to matters involving Teresa. And it gets like frustrating because you want, where is that like smart wit moral compass-y except when it comes to matters involving Teresa. And it gets like frustrating because you want, where is that like smart wit moral compassy vibe when it comes to the Teresa shit? But she's always just kind of been blinded by it.

And I feel like last night, she told Teresa to apologize after dinner. She doesn't come out as strong as she should for Teresa, but at least now she's navigating Teresa in the correct way. And she was the one who like audibly gasped when Jennifer Aiden said like that thing about Margaret's boss.

Yeah. I feel like even though she's not like, you know, sticking up for the other side. She's on the wrong side of history. But she's not defending Teresa, which she usually does. Yeah.

So that's a start. But like she's at the wrong shore house, you know? I would love. It's her house. No, I know. But like,

you know what I mean? Like in terms of like, it's like, these are the two couches. But no, but like still, it's like what she said to to Jackie like we're cut from a different cloth like Teresa and Jennifer like they are just more similar you know I know but like for my personal um enjoyment I would just like Dolores on the right side of history I know but then you'll start then you'll get a fight between Dolores and Jackie and I don't want

that either not again even though that was pretty funny. Okay, Jackie. It's high-quality fabric. Every time I hear her tagline, I may be quite cut from a different cloth, but it's high-quality fabric. I just laugh from our assessment. I know. That was like the most random fucking story.

She sounds like rug sales. She literally sounds like she works in the garment district. Like she's trying to sell, you know, her fabric. Yeah. It's the highest quality fabric. So it's,

it's honestly such a good season. Like I, I kind of dread watching Dallas. I look forward to Jersey. Like I watched live. I was so excited to watch. No, I turned on my TV at eight o'clock,

found out it was on at nine. Me too. So I rewatched the old episode. Oh no. What did I, oh, I, I turned on my TV at 8 o'clock, found out it was on at 9. Me too. And I sat there. So I re-watched the old episode. Oh no, what did I, oh, I put on Discovery Plus, Ina Garten. She was making

a delicious salmon taco. It's just so good and it's like the franchise we really needed from them because we had a couple rough years there. Yeah. No, it's really good.

I'm loving it and I can't wait for next week and Team Margaret for life. Keeping Up with the Kardashians is on tonight. Yep. Bittersweet once again.

I'm headed out to dinner. Yum. I don't know if I'm going to watch it. Like, depends on how many drinks that I have. Okay. See how you feel. I'll give you one guess to guess where I'm going to dinner. I know.

Where? Where? Your addiction. Yeah. Can I say it? Yeah. Zero bond? Yep.

I'll be there. That's our show. No, it's not April Fool's. It's someone else's. Okay. No, but really, that's our show. Thank you so much for listening to The Morning Show. It's The Morning Show.
