Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast live and in studio! We're back! Happy Monday, everyone! Hope everyone had an amazing and fulfilling weekend. Did you have a fulfilling weekend? You know what? I think I had a very fulfilling weekend because I fulfilled myself, for sure. That's so important. It's your first step in fulfillment. But day three and four were Saturday and Sunday of my cleanseurday and sunday of my cleanse and i stuck to my cleanse all weekend like i said on friday i am on day five today guys we are on track to make

it all the way and my whole life right now just revolves around this cleanse but i've gotten so much support from the toasters oh not for me no i mean i haven't gotten really every time i pick up the phone i say you're glowing the whites of your eyes are blinding. That's literally not what she said. I did say, I did say you were glowing. You did say I looked fresh. And I said you looked gorgeous. How do I look today?

The same. The same? Yeah. I did my makeup a little differently because I'm just like tired of using so much powder. A hundred percent. But isn't that funny how like you make a small change on your face and you think people in the street are going to like stop you and notice. No, but I just thought maybe you would stop me and notice like, cause I'm on day five of my

cleanse. No. Um, but it's definitely like an inner glow. Thank you. Well, I've just gotten so much support and so many people telling me that they want me to talk about it and just hear updates. So, so far it's really good. I think it's a very doable cleanse. Like you really need to prepare yourself mentally and also like you need to prepare your kitchen and have all the ingredients that are needed. Um, so it's a big endeavor but going day to day like it's not impossible and with every day that passes like I just feel more encouraged to make it to the end so what are you gonna eat like on your first well okay so first of all I just want to say like now having done this cleanse it's given me a whole new appreciation for smoothies and now I'll be making smoothies in

the home like with good ingredients you know with a little almond milk and like that will be delicious sure so I'm excited for that but they do say that you should like wean off of the cleanse so like do a smoothie in the morning whatever you want and then like a meal for dinner so like half like so that you don't startle your body yeah so what my meal will be I guess I'll be done on Sunday night dinner you still have a whole other week yeah it's 10 days I'm on day five my last day be, I guess I'll be done on Sunday night dinner. You still have a whole other week? Yeah, it's 10 days. I'm on day five. My last day is Saturday.

I know. I know. Jeez. But my meal is... You must really want the whites of your eyes to be white. Well, also, I'm losing weight. So, like, that's motivating. Like, that's...

Like, I've been weighing myself. I've lost three pounds so far, which is really exciting. But just keep in mind that I gained five pounds on vacation. So, we've got two more to go before we're back at start. Well, I am just like the peak of health. I don't even need to do cleanses. And I'm a medical marvel yet again. Yet again.

But also, this is my first time ever doing the toast in studio without a coffee. Like I can't drink coffee. Oh, that's crazy. And by now I've weaned off of it. So it's not like I'm craving it. But I do feel a little like out of focus. Yeah. You that's like Yom Kippur like when you can't have coffee like do you have a headache yeah well I get a headache on Yom Kippur just from being hungry and do you have YKB on this juice cleanse no I feel like my breath is like better than ever

I feel like the natural ingredients like are doing wonders for my breath by the way I think that that's true like I believe that you look like your mouth, like, looks clean. Thanks, Claudia. Well, we have a great show for you guys today. Just a full Monday full of stuff. We have a Real Housewives of Atlanta TV recap. I'll talk a little bit about RuPaul's Drag Race, which I'm very excited about. And I honestly, like, I really need you to get into it.

Like, it's so much work. But I have to tell you, I watched pretty much all the seasons, the ones that matter during quarantine. And I haven't watched like a single episode since. And on Friday I watched the premiere episode. And when the, when the theme song came on, RuPaul's drag race, may the best woman, best woman win. I kid you not. I was transported to the darkest time. like I watched it in like March April and that was just like a hard time for the country for the world and when that song came on I swear like I wanted to turn the tv off but I won't let quarantine like ruin RuPaul's Drag Race so I persevered but I'm telling you every time I hear that song now I get a little chill down

my spine like it's I just I got a flashback remember when I knitted that blanket for Michaela during quarantine that she is like obsessed with yeah um I knitted that blanket while I was watching RuPaul's Drag Race and I literally like in my bed when I heard the song I started like knitting like it was crazy like muscle memory and it was really upsetting because it's like RuPaul's Drag Race is something like it's a special like when I watch it it's a treat and I won't have it be ruined by March I just will not let March ruin it I feel like you can undo the previous connotations I'm so motivated to do so that RuPaul's Drag Race will not be ruined for me it just won't a lot of things have been ruined for me tie-dye ruined so many things One Tree Hill ruined yeah that was my fault but yeah you know what i mean

this has been like 2020 was a year of ruining things for sure i would take on rupaul's drag race my contemplate is just so full and now i'm feeling like even some of the things that i watch that i used to enjoy like i don't anymore i'm watching season two of virgin river and i don't know if it's not good or it's me but like i literally can get through half an episode a night but i also i'm liking watching it as i go to sleep because it's so scenic and beautiful yes it's not good or it's me, but like I literally can get through half an episode a night. But I also am liking watching it as I go to sleep because it's so scenic and beautiful. It's as if you're just like watching scenic scenes. Did you finish Bridgerton? I did.

And we have a story about Bridgerton and we'll recap it today. Okay, great. So Atlanta, Housewives and Bridgerton in the TV recap segment. I cannot wait to hear your thoughts. Then one more thing. I just don't really want to formally put it in the TV recap is my journey watching Lost. Me and Ben over the weekend probably watched like 20 episodes. Like we really made it well into the fourth season. And it's good. It's like a show that has like peaks and valleys. You know it's like highs and lows. But it's just like frustrating because the whole

premise of the show is like they're on the island. And like just get off. Like it's so frustrating. And all these like rescue missions. It's like it's only season four. I know you're not getting off the island. You know. Yeah it's it's actually like a really frustrating show okay well I feel like you should finish it because I'm pretty sure like this the end is very crazy um so I like I don't want to say because I think I remember like in high school everyone talking about it and like I feel like I know what the ending is I don't want to say because I don't want people like messaging me like I just I just like but I also make things up so like it really could be. Right you also have a bad memory. Right but I have this like vision of

like my friend Jason who was like obsessed with the show like talking about it and like I overheard I'm like I'm never gonna watch his show and like I think I remember what he said but I also think TV critics like regard it as a bad ending. Do they? I think. Well I mean it's subjective because I think TV critics also regard Game of Thrones as a bad ending and I really liked it. I didn't really like it but I appreciated the continuity and like how the ending made sense. They didn't just slap like Dan as Gossip Girl you know like that made no fucking sense logistically. Like you could go through the show and see when like Gossip Girl sent out an alert and Dan was like at a party. No and he like literally roasted himself, his family. Like he did Jenny, his sister, so dirty. Yeah. Makes no

sense. Logistically like Dan being Gossip Girl makes no logical sense. Bran, spoiler alert if you never watch Game of Thrones here's your turn to turn it off. Bran becoming King of the North is like the only scenario that actually made sense. Not of the king of the world you know the realm of westeros um also totally like random but what are your thoughts on like spoiling tv shows that aired 10 years ago i feel really good about it yeah me too i because i keep seeing this meme going around like you could still spoil tv show no sorry you missed the boat like no and even if we unless you're you happen to be watching Game of Thrones right now. Like, I'm so sorry. I didn't even consider that.

But if you're going to watch Game of Thrones in the future, like, you will not remember what we just said because what we said right now, like, doesn't make any sense to you. No, but also. That Bran is the king of Westeros. Game of Thrones ended two years ago. All right, you know what?

I'll give people time to watch it. But like, saying I spoiled Lost, which literally went off the air 10 years ago that's a you problem not a me problem maybe we should include a spoiler alert in the description just because I I do feel bad about the Game of Thrones one like yeah that show is so long like there's so much build up like I mean that's the payoff I gave a spoiler alert when I spoke no no I'm gonna just spoiler in the episode description whenever time we're at. Like, Game of Thrones spoiler if you happen to be watching.

So that's our mini TV recap. But the big one's coming later. You don't want to miss it. The big one's coming later. You don't want to miss it. But before we get to that, we must deliver. Wait. Before you deliver.

Before you deliver the pizza. Before I stand and deliver. Before you stand and deliver. We have to talk about the fact that we are now two weeks away from my book launch. Sorry, it's happening, you guys. What day of the week does it launch?

Tuesday, so two weeks from tomorrow. Okay. And I don't know, maybe you would be able to answer this question as my most literary friend. When a book comes out, like a song comes out

on Friday at midnight, so like Thursday night, does like the Kindle book come out at midnight on Monday? Oh, that's a good question for Kindles. Because I figured like bookstores, it comes out when it opens. Amazon, it's like when your book, even if you pre-order it, it'll come up on the day that it comes out. But like whenever your mail gets delivered.

That's interesting for Kindles. I feel like we're about to find out. Yeah, I'm just curious. Because again, I'm a first time author of my book, Girl With No Job, The Crazy Beautiful Life of an Instagram Thirst Monster. This is a hardcover copy which comes with a photo insert, which is very exciting. I'm not going to spoil it for you if you're watching on YouTube. But the book is just a really personal piece of work that I've been really looking forward

to putting out because I have some things to say. And you know what? I said them in this book. You can get it at girlwithnojob.com slash book. It comes out in two weeks. I would really appreciate the pre-order support because I'm trying to get into all types of bookstores. And if I have strong pre-order numbers, I can get to the front of the bookstore instead

of being like shoved in the back where no one can see me. So again, Girl With No Job, The Crazy Beautiful Life of an Instagram Thirst Monster, audiobook, ebook, and hardcover are all available for pre-order at various outlets. You can shop big. You can shop small. Girlwithnojob.com slash book. Thank you all so much for the support. The pre-order numbers are in and they're very strong

and everyone's very happy with it and I'm very happy with it. So I just love you guys so much. Thanks for putting up with me these last two months. We only got two more weeks, so it's going to be fine. Damn, what are we going to talk about

when it's over? I don't know. We'll have to rev up for a new secret project. Or maybe we could just like revel in like, you know, the success, all the critics saying it's the best book I've ever read

making Reese's List list I don't know these are just things that I think might happen but you know what list it is gonna make the redheads list because we are doing an episode with Claudia and speaking of the redheads our new episode dropped today we're recapping Layla by Colleen Hoover which is just a super popular book she's a very popular author and all of the redheads at the end of the day liked the book so I think that if you read it, you will like it too. And even if you don't want to read it, the episode is hysterical. Oh, good.

And you should listen to it anyway. And also, all of us read so many books over the holidays. So we are recapping all of them and letting you know, like, which ones we recommend, which ones we don't. Dana even had a DNR, a do not read. Wow. Did she finish it? No.

What book? I forget. Dana suggested a DNR to me what was it um how to murder your life I'm not gonna lie I actually really liked it in the beginning and then it was just like repetition after repetition after repetition like she works at a magazine she's addicted to pills she fucked something up can we what happens next like yeah it was just so repetitive um but I actually think I might finish it I think that you should I just think like you're an impatient person and sometimes books lag and

you don't have the time for that okay I just want to say I am an impatient person but I withstand with books like honestly the worst book I ever read that I can't believe is so fucking world renowned Daisy Jones and the Six yeah I said it terrible fucking book um was the most boring book I've ever read in my life I I don't know do other people get angry when they read books that are like not fulfilling them yes like I wanted to kick and scream like I was so angry um but I still persevered even that button you gave me the unfortunate importance of beauty which ended up being so stupid I still finish it well I like skim the last you're hurting people's feelings now I'm just giving my opinion you're hurting feelings that's how high my bar is because that's how good my book is. True. True. Now you can stand and deliver. Now I can stand and deliver

the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast. And excuse me it's the RDH is coming back. Can I get you something? Do you need your ads? I've been watching so many people die on Lost. Spoiler alert! And I'm really getting into, like, this is how you die. Like, you have to, like, pause and then take one final breath. But the RDH didn't get me today because I got my ad copy. Today we have a brand new sponsor.

Actually, not new because they, it's just been a while. They took a little break. But Fashion Pass is absolutely everything of the sort. It's a clothing rental service that we love here at the Morning Toast. Jackie and Margaret have been using them forever. That's how I found out about it. And it's really like a, it's like a rent the runway meets revolve. Like fabulous clothing that you can borrow, hold on to, wear, and then return and get

some new stuff so people think that you just have like a never-ending wardrobe. Right. And sometimes, especially with like Instagram culture, you wear something once and then you take a picture and then you can't wear it for a while. So with Fashion Pass, you just have like the rotating closet. I've been using Fashion Pass since last year. I think it's like a brilliant, brilliant idea.

Me too. And like a perfectly executed company. They have the cutest stuff. I just got the cutest Opryski sweater. Cute. And this really cute coat that I would never buy on my own. But like, now that I'm just experimenting, like, yeah, I'm wearing this coat. They have great brands like For Love and Lemons, Free People, Show Me Your Moo Moo. It's like the revolve of rental services. If you hate spending $200 on one sweater, dress, jacket that you might only wear once, then Fashion Pass might be for you. And if you're a trendsetter like me, it's like you got to keep up with the trends and that can be expensive. That's

why it's really smart for us trendsetters to head over to Fashion Pass. One of the best parts is that if you love something and you want to end up keeping it, you get a huge discount anywhere between 30 and 60% off, which is fabulous. It's a better option than constantly shopping and it's more sustainable and better for the environment. And we actually have a special discount code for you today. It is the best deal that Fashion Pass has ever offered. If you go to thefashionpass.com, use code TOAST at checkout, you'll get $50 off your first month so you can try it for just $29. That's thefashionpass.com, code TOAST at checkout, you get $50 off your first month so you can try it for $29. Check it out. We love the fashion pass here and it is toast approved.

So yeah, it's everything of the sort and it's like the exact company you've been looking for. Yeah. Okay. Are you ready to get into the stories? Yes, ma'am. The first one is some big news of the day and I'm worried my reaction is going to disappoint everyone.

I couldn't help but wonder, do I care about this? You're gonna. Sex and the City revival is confirmed at HBO Max. The new chapter is titled And Just Like That and will star Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristen Davis. Kim Cattrall, who played Samantha Jones, is not returning. Parker, Nixon, and Davis will also executive produce along with Michael Patrick King.

The revival will follow Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda as they navigate love and friendship in their 50s. The series will consist of 10 half-hour episodes and is set to begin production in New York City in late spring. So here's the thing. I am a big fan of Sex and the City. I actually talk about this a lot in my book, not to keep plugging it,

but just how, you know, you watch something growing up and, like, the way you feel about it changes over time. That's just natural as you grow up. And, you know, for me, I've grown up and realized like how toxic Carrie is. But the show had other great elements that kind of sustained the toxicity, like Samantha, like she was absolutely everything of the sort, like a modern woman, an independent woman. And she like, you know know made some of the more unbearable scenes bearable and now that we don't have what I thought was like really Samantha was the straw that stirs the drink I just I can't imagine that this is going to be very good and I'm the type of person where it's like I actually loved both movies even though they were like so stupid like I would watch the four of

them like I really would watch them anywhere I would watch this revival this is not like a reboot like that nobody needs like I would watch it honestly like I think they're great it really is a reboot like it's this main characters it's not like Sex and the City again where it's like a young generation I thought maybe that's what it would be but that's actually kind of interesting yeah it's interesting but they always ruin it that way so like to bring back the actual original cast and just continue the show is a great idea but I agree like Samantha is a big major piece of the puzzle and without her I just I fear for the quality for the success and you know what else is crazy like if you think about it like which one of them could the show survive without honestly I don't know I don't

think I would watch it without Charlotte I don't think a lot of people would I wouldn't watch it without Miranda like I'm a Miranda Stan and also I read about in my book how like she deserves justice and there's a whole theory on it but I actually think I could watch the show without the protagonist Carrie yeah 100% yeah I don't know even though the women like aren't as close as a group without Carrie is the nucleus yes exactly and I don't think it makes any sense without Carrie and nobody's but she's so annoying I just wish that they worked a little harder to get Kim Cattrall, like, whatever her needs were. And maybe they all could have, like, you know, talked it out. Wait, I don't think it was a needs thing.

I think it was, like, a personality, like, we don't get along. Kim Cattrall has been, like, very vocal about, like, her distaste for Sarah Jessica Parker. Yeah. But, like, I don't know. Nothing a little couple Cosmos can't fix. Like, I just feel like they could work it out you know yeah I just feel like people don't try hard enough to work it out I think that's definitely true because

Kim Cattrall has no interest in working out like whatever she's upset about that happened years ago and then in the movies like this the wound is real and she like is not interested in and I think she's financially very fine from her stint on the show and I just don't think she wants to put herself back and that's a part of growing up like not putting yourself in toxic environments it's so true but then it's like do you agree with their decision to go ahead with a reboot without her no me neither but then but it's like we're in the age of reboots HBO max is a streaming service now we're just making shit all the time the other three women are down let's do it yeah I just would have liked for like the legacy of sex in the city to be preserved like ending in Abu Dhabi

which was honestly I loved that movie. Sometimes I like it better than the first one. Like I think it was so funny and there's so many like lines that like truly make me like laugh out loud and I could have ended the story there. Like I think it was a storybook ending. There was supposed to be a third movie. Kim Cattrall backed out and the whole movie fell apart. And now this is like them picking up the pieces pieces I don't know sometimes it's like it's best to leave things you know where they were I agree with that but we'll see what they do we'll see what they do I'll watch I love some of the I love Charlotte and I love Miranda I love the ladies yeah I love Samantha though like she's just so funny she's so funny and you grow up and I feel like sorry we're gonna say something did I cut you off no I was just gonna say like she's

number one number one and like I feel like when you grow up you're like Smith is crazy and then like you get older and you're like oh my god she's right about everything yeah everything from business to relationships and I'm just not interested in watching a show without the woman who's right about everything I completely agree so I'm so glad we're on the same page so they're gonna need to find a way to balance it Maybe they'll bring in a different fourth cast member who has like something to bring to the table in terms of personality. Or like someone who was on the fringe who like has more to offer.

Like Stanley or something. Yeah. I love Stanley. Honestly, I liked Stanley's husband. Yeah. What was his name? Stanford. Stanford.

Oh, his name is not Stanley. Sorry. Stanford. That's how important he was. He married Charlotte's gay best friend. Anthony. Anthony was everything of the sort. Yeah, but they can't make one of them the fourth.

I think they'll bring in a fourth. I do. The bride wore a dress by no one. He's everything. Yeah. So we'll keep you posted. It's going to be a while before we see it because they're not even filming till the spring and you know how things go. Yeah.

And maybe this will suffer the same fate as the doomed Hillary Duff reboot. I mean, Lizzie McGuire reboot. Oh, true. You know, now it's just because something gets greenlit.

Lizzie McGuire has really haunted us. Doesn't mean it's happening, you guys. I wouldn't get too excited. That is so true. Because everyone was all jazzed about Lizzie McGuire. Mm-hmm.

Okay, next up, some more TV news. The Kardashians commemorate last day of filming Keeping Up With The Kardashians, ahead of the final season. Trying not to get emotional. Keeping Up With The Kardashians wrapped filming on its final episode Friday, and the Kardashian-Jenner family commemorated the occasion on social media

with a series of emotional posts. Introducing the show's audio tech of 14 years, Erin Paxton, Kim noted that this is our last Keeping Up miking of life. She panned over to show all of the mics and then another clip shows the cast's play settings for lunch which had cookies designed with their faces on them from Funny Face Bakery which is the same bakery that did my birthday cookies. Yes I recognize their work. They did such a good job on the Kardashian cookies. I want to say two things about this. One, it just occurred to me as you were reading this very sad story that Theo sat with you today. So my heart is just heavy with all this news coming at me.

And the other thing is like, it was really crazy. Like, I know we're going to get more Kardashian content in the future. And this is by no means the end of like a family reality show for the Kardashians. And we know that because of their big Hulu deal. But it definitely, this is huge. It signifies the end of an era. Yeah, it really does. And it must be sad for them.

Like, of course, they're moving on to bigger and better things, but like they've worked with these people for so long and they're going to have new crews and new mic packs and all this new stuff. And it's the end of an era. I was watching everyone's content and Kylie, like, obviously showed up in a look. And I just like wasn't feeling the emotion from Kylie because like no she was like last day of filming I was

like when was first day you know like you never started like you still have orientation she just like her posts were just like posted to be posted but like I wasn't feeling the raw emotion like I was from like Kourtney and Kim the people who really grew up on the show I totally agree yeah she just like showed up in a look like two pictures she like loved the cookies but like there was no real connection, I think. I do feel, I thought the same thing. It just lacked a certain emotion. Yeah, like for Kim, like it's just crazy.

No, for Kim, it's like, look what she, really her and Chris, look what they did with this little shitty TV show. I know a million families who have gotten reality shows. 100%. And did absolutely nothing with them. And now like just they blazed a trail I can't even you can't even put into words like what that show did for society like you know what I mean for the television industry the entertainment industry for women

in business for beauty like and look what they did like with this like little 30 minute show yeah in their little ranch in Calabasas yeah crazy really crazy I also think it's crazy like the fact that they don't own that house like that original house the fact that they never kept it in their little ranch in Calabasas. Yeah. Crazy. Really crazy. I also think it's crazy, like, the fact that they don't own that house, like, that original house. The fact that they never kept it in their real estate portfolio. Well, I'm sure when they sold it, they, like, they weren't at a place where they were just, like, owning houses for nostalgia purposes. And now someone else owns it. Maybe when it goes up for sale, they'll buy it.

100%. Yeah. 100% Okay, ready for our next story? Because hearts are going to be breaking all over the world Michael B Jordan is off the market okay he's gone Instagram official with Lori Harvey after months of romance rumors so as much as hearts are breaking I think this is like perhaps one of the best couples like in terms of like they're so eligible for each other like I actually think

this is such a good pairing yeah I'm okay with hearts being broken. I think it's worthwhile. Okay, well on Sunday, people's reigning sexiest man alive, never forget how sexy he is, appeared to debut his romance with Lori Harvey on Instagram, sharing a photo of the pair for the first time. He posted two portraits of him and Harvey,

including one photo of them smiling at one another in close embrace. The actor and daughter of Steve Harvey were previously photographed together during the holiday season. I think this is such a good couple like I'm so happy for them. Wow that is just like such an exciting like I don't want to you know jinx it I don't want to jump ahead but like have Michael B Jordan to be Steve Harvey's son-in-law. No the power is just immaculate. The sexiness. The sexiness. Steve Harvey's son-in-law. No, the power is just immaculate. The sexiness.

The sexiness. Steve Harvey has like really become a figure in my home. I've been watching Family Feud like almost every night before bed. And what a character that guy is. And imagine like going home for dinner and having dinner with Steve Harvey. No, I'm sure it's hysterical. Hysterical.

Actually, you know, I got my start on the Steve Harvey show. You could read about it in my book. So true. January 26, 2021 is when it comes out. Tell the story about how Steve, you know, he had a start on the Steve Harvey show. You could read about it in my book. So true. January 26, 2021 is when it comes out. Tell the story about how Steve, you know, he had a lot of faith in me. He did. He did. He really did.

He just knew that I had it. Yeah. You should read about that. You should. It's good stuff. I'm happy for them. Obviously, I'm sad for the millions of women who are just like broken inside. Broken.

stelly vasquez and johnny middlebrooks have split stelly and johnny jelly she said she's so thankful for their time together so they win no they did not win and i'm justine and caleb i haven't seen them post together in a while, but I haven't seen that they've broken up. So like, I'm- No news is good news. I'm staying on my ship. But Selly and Johnny have broken up.

She said, because you've all been such a close part of our relationship, I wanted to share with you that Johnny and I are no longer together. While our relationship has been public from the start, I do ask that you respect this decision and our privacy during this time. There's no reason to speculate. I'm so thankful for our time together, but now it's simply time for each of us to focus on our personal journey

so okay I mean I think a lot of people like always you didn't watch the season but like it got a little crazy between the two of them because like they brought in all these other girls and the girls and the guys split and they went to like Casa Amor it's the stupidest thing and when Johnny Johnny and Sally were like oh they were the power couple in the house and they split up boys and girls boys went to casa amor they brought in all these girls and johnny just like went ham with this other girl okay and then came back no no and then came back and like didn't tell sally and then like um people sometimes there would be like tweets that would be part of the episode like they would read america's tweets them it's like America's like trying to tell Selly what happened right and

every time they brought in a new person she's like did you see the scene like what happened so everyone like gave them a really hard time about being a couple but they seemed really happy together um so this is like sad Love Island news but you know things happen I still think it's crazy and probably like I'm actually shocked I don't watch, but my content plate is just so full. I just think it's crazy how they film Love Island in real time. And I think it's like so cool. Yeah. And I think like more reality shows should do that.

Yeah, they do a really, really good job. It is so much for a content plate because it's every night of the week. Right. But what does it play for like three weeks? Yeah, I guess three or four weeks. It's a nice reprieve. And also it came at a time when there wasn't Housewives on every single night so no every night the housewives honestly Andy and his programming team have no respect for my slumber yeah it's very upsetting okay our next

story more tv news this is just like all tv stuff but Bridgerton has been tipped to run for eight seasons not confirmed just the creator said the creator said that he is down and wants to do Bridgerton for eight seasons because the book has eight books got it and I actually learned a lot from this article because when I watched the show which I loved my only thing was like I wonder why it's called Bridgerton because it's like that's the name of a family it should have been the name of the town and what the hell is the name of the town the name of the town I don't know as they say the ton I watch with uh subtitles on and and I'm so glad that I do otherwise I would keep thinking they're saying talk of the town but they're saying talk of the ton also I love that I love watching

with subtitles because then I realize that every song they're playing is actually like a radio top 40 hit done by an orchestra which is such a unique element and I loved it yes loved it so the creator said this being a family of eight children and there being eight books I would love to be able to focus and really tell stories and love stories for all the Bridgerton siblings for each character for sure. That's why that's what the book is called. Yeah and that's why this first one was all about Daphne because when I finished watching it I was like what's the second season going to be about like it's kind of happily ever after but no they're going to focus on the other books the next book is called the Viscount Who Loved Me and it focuses on Anthony's journey

to find a wife right right right with Sienna and all the drama yeah because at the end of the last episode he was like I'm finding a wife like love is right on right oh that's so interesting okay so it's not going to follow like their story is over like they're happy good for them yeah I'm sure they're going to be in the series. And obviously, her being a duchess, like, will influence things that happen with the Bridgertons. But, like, I love this show already. And I love this journey for eight seasons. Like, this could just be the next, like, thing that gets us, like, for eight years.

Right, and then it's, like, each of the kids, by the time it's, like, in the eighth season, the younger ones will be grown up. Yeah, and eligible for marriage. Oh, that's very interesting. I time it's like an eighth season, the younger ones will be grown up. Yeah, and eligible for marriage. Oh, that's very interesting. I think it's such a great idea. I really hope that it gets the green light for eight seasons because now we can talk about Bridgerton. I loved it.

Loved. I mean, so much to love. First of all, the scenery was just sickening the scenery down. Like a true utopia. Like gorgeous, gorgeous. Then the music like the music was such a premium content level upper and the characters were just wonderful like I like I just didn't know who to love the most and loved the queen yeah and I also loved how aside from Daphne because we saw her in

younger these were all new faces to me and so it just like made it just like a world of its own. And by the way, I watch Younger and couldn't even recognize Daphne from being Josh's baby mama. I remember her now. Yeah, yeah. The Irish girl. Yeah. Yeah. I wonder if she'll go back to Younger.

I don't know. She's a star now. Yeah, she's a big star. I just loved it. Like there was just so many things about it that were so premium and really just like that's what that's what's nice. It's kind of like when you watch a Shonda Rhimes show or like when you watch a Ryan Murphy show you know there's a level of premiumness that even if it's not your favorite show it's still going to be really good

and it's going to be enjoyable so it has the Shonda Land stamp of approval and I just loved it yeah there were like moments that were frustrating just like for the storyline like obviously the Duke and um Daphne not like communicating and it's like she like him just like saying not wanting to have children not that he couldn't have children I was just like it was just like frustrating for her like well he intentionally misled her right it was frustrating watching her come to all these realizations but I'm glad that eventually she did and I'm also glad that she got the happy ending yeah no it's like that never happens but for the diamond of the season she can find a love

match and she ended up she went from almost marrying Nigel to literally being in a love match with the Duke who like nobody thought was even gonna get married and it was just so pretty and if she wanted to she could have been a princess yeah no I did feel bad for the prince he was a really nice boy he was a really nice guy and when I was watching it like before I knew what happened and Simon was just kind of being a fuck boy and we didn't know that he was like OTP yeah and no I knew that like she obviously had feelings for him but he was not being the man that she needed and like the prince is a prince and literally stepped up to the plate like and I was just like I want her to be with the prince no princess of Prussia like necessary that works for Daphne 100 but the way that it all unfolded like

obviously I'm so happy with how it went and now it's like Prince who? Yeah, no. And honestly, not to be mean, but he was kind of ugly. Like Simon is so much cuter than Prince. The sideburns are out of control. Oh, I'm so glad you brought that up, especially on her older brother.

Those wolfy ass, and I know that's the style and they're just being accurate with like the 1800s, but my God, it bothered me so much. It was so puby, like so gross. Get this fuck out of here. I just have one critique that I think is like a plot hole. Okay. And that is that the second brother who's like the artist looks 20 years older than

Anthony. He looks like the dad. I thought he was the dad. Like a hundred percent. I actually loved all the brothers in their own way. was kind of annoying like a fuck boy but he'll get it together I thought the brother who like loves art and like went to those parties like he was just so sweet and innocent and then the third brother who like loved Miranda Thompson and was friends with Penelope like he was pathetic and so sweet so sweet no but such a decent guy and

that's what the whole thing was is like what I loved about the Bridgertons is like in a time where like it felt like everything was very cold, like no families were like warm and embracing each other. The Bridgertons were special because they loved each other so much and their family and their father had passed away. So like the family was just so close. And I just like loved the mom. I thought she was like an amazing matriarch. And I just felt very connected to the family.

I loved everything about them. I totally agree. And I loved, um, what's the girl with the bangs? With the half bangs? Yeah. The sister Eloise? Eloise yeah and then the little ones the campers. They were so cute. I can't wait till we get to their love story. I know I mean it feels weird because they're uh like six but yeah it's very exciting. I think it's a great show. I think it has great potential for future seasons. This like the styling it was all very like over the top 1800s. But like gorgeous. Yeah. And I loved the queen. And then her backstory was like a little sad.

You know. Yeah. But interesting. Yeah. I thought it was excellent. Oh and then obviously the fact that. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert.

Spoiler alert. This is the spoiler of all spoilers. This is your warning. You don't get another one. Penelope Featherington was Lady Whistledown which I did not see coming. I really thought that they had figured it out and it wasn't like a mystery anymore.

Yeah but now it's like I love I'm like so honored that they told us in the first season who she is. Yeah and didn't waste our time with like gossip girl drama. And now it's like you could even go back and watch it all again and see how it is Penelope all along.

And I mean it makes total sense because really the main, like the smoking gun is the fact that she knew about Marina Thompson. Right. Yes, there were other people who knew. I thought maybe that Penelope wrote in to Lady Featherington and told her about Marina. That's what I just assumed because she like loved the Bridgerton boys so much.

Oh, that's so interesting. And she wanted to break them up. I mean, justice for Penelope. I love her. I mean, for Penelope. I love her. I mean she's serving up justice for herself and now it's like her family is in ruin because

they're the Mr. Featherington. Oh that was crazy. And there's no money in the pouch. But Penelope is like should be a wealthy queen because she's the

talk of the town. Oh that's so true. I didn't even think of that. She should be able to save her family. And you know towards the end I really did feel bad for the Featheringtons. At first, like, excuse me, they were, like, meant to be made a mockery of,

but then I kind of felt bad for them. Like, the mom, even though she was annoying, like, all she wanted was, like, for her kids to be, like, famous and popular, you know? For sure. But, like, Penelope being Lady Whistledown, like, gives them. The credit. The upper hand. Like, she can write any narrative she chooses.

She could rewrite history. Yeah. And honestly I just like the scenes with Marina Thompson just made me so sad. Because she just couldn't catch a break. And no one was except for Penelope looking out for her. A hundred percent. When her boyfriend's brother came I'm like I thought it was him at first. And I'm like finally like this girl's gonna get a break.

Yeah. No it was a brother. No and like she turned him down because she thought she was no longer with child and then it's like to shift to go back and ask him, but I'm glad. I loved how her storyline ended.

She didn't seem so happy, but in that world, it could have been so much worse. It's the best case scenario. Yeah. And he was a nice boy and he was going to look after her and take care of her.

And back in the day, They're going to get married, yeah? Yeah. Okay. I thought so. Yeah. Back in the day, that's like all you could ask for.

Yeah. So wasn't, you know, the Bridgerton love story we thought it was going to be, but it was fine. It wasn't the worst, like Lord Rutledge. Who's that? The old man. Oh God, he was so scary. Yeah.

I just love those balls and those galas and like, I just wanted to go to the opera, you know? Got to get me a corset and a wig. The hair was crazy. Like the men's hair. I mean, they were wearing those big wigs. Like that was crazy. Oh, yeah.

Crazy, crazy. Yeah. No, it was so good. If you guys haven't watched it or are on the fence, definitely watch it. Yeah. TV recap. Was that our fifth and final? That was our fifth and final, yes.

Valentine's Day is coming up and we're giving you enough warning now, so don't wait too long. It's so true.

I can't believe Valentine's Day is coming up. Like, this is a great warning time. I can't wait for some chocolate and a love book. Oh my yeah I'm gonna be off my cleanse hello um okay Real Houses of Atlanta was actually so funny last night um first of all I just have such a hard time trusting Kenya like I really do but do you see that like this season especially last night's episode like she was just being like so cute no oh my god no I just it's so funny I don't see it that way at all because you want to know why when last year when she almost ruined intentionally and I remember coming on this show and being like I could not believe that like Cynthia's the only one who's been like ride or die for Kenya and she would go out of her way to try and spoil her

engagement like that is not something a friend does that is something a mean girl does I was so hurt by it and then I was like, okay, you know what? She actually recognizes how fucked up it was and she's trying to better it. But something about it felt very insincere. Like, first of all, why didn't she tell any of the other women that it was a surprise party? Especially when she knows that they're notoriously late. They would have come on time. Oh, she didn't tell them? No. Literally Portia showed up and she was like, oh, it's an engagement party? Oh, that's true. That's like poor like poor planning and just makes me think she just like wants the other women to look bad in Cynthia's eyes oh that's a good point but Cynthia has really forgiven her and

she's even a bridesmaid so like doesn't that mean that maybe you could forgive her I just I forgive I'm just so wary of her like every time I start to like Kenya she just does something and I'm like no I knew it like this is who you really are. Okay so what she did best. Kenya Moore hair care. I will never forget. That was the meanest thing anyone's ever done going into Marlo Thompson's hair event last season with a marching band to promote her own hair care. Like that's not what a friend does. That is not. 100%. So last night what did she do that upset you so much? She didn't upset me. Just not telling the girls I'm just

I'm very wary that's that's all I'm gonna say I'm very okay I have to say the party did look kind of fun it looked so fun like COVID friendly COVID friendly and Cynthia was so grateful you could really tell in her confessionals when she was just talking about like how thankful she was that they put this on for her and like it was a it was really sweet I do have to say though like her and Mike being like disappointed when they showed up that it wasn't like a campaign Joe Biden thing was so funny and honestly the the surprise was kind of awkward no I feel like that always happens with surprises like what you tell the person in order to get them to come is like sometimes like not

better but also exciting yeah and then you're like wait but is that not happening yeah no right right like where's Joe Biden like like that happened with your engagement too when you were like wait are we not meeting with the shareholders yeah like it was just so um it was just so awkward especially because no one was there it was like a surprise party for four people at the end I love Mike Hill like I think chill Cynthia and him are OTP like I loved when everyone was at the mic like improv I just want to chill and obviously Candy was so good and like wrote a song on the spot but I thought that Kenya was being hysterical it was Portia oh well Kenya was on too but when Portia was when they did it when they duetted that Portia is must be exhausted like literally from putting the show

on her back season after season she is the funniest one she's the most interesting one I fucking love she's my Bethany now she's my Karen Huger like I will defend till the death like I fucking love Portia she was being so funny and honestly yes Candy was singing really good but it really made me cringe for like every time I've ever like gotten on the mic at a party and like thought I was singing really good and like how it honestly like is annoying and I'm not gonna do that anymore when have you done that I do it all the time like get on the mic I look at weddings like people are always just like throwing me the mic and I'm just like singing and I okay if they throw it to you it's fine no I just realized now it's like so cringy I'm not why I thought I thought it was like so fun last night it was like improv karaoke yes for everyone but like candy was taking herself seriously which is like what I do oh no but I

thought candy was like but making it legit yeah well she was but like I felt because she's like a record winning right artist maybe it's just because like I she was, but like I felt. But it's also because she's like a record winning artist. Maybe it's just because like I've been there, but like I felt embarrassed for any time I've ever done that because like I got to see it through a lens of like a regular person. Yes. Speaking of Candy, her sending her daughter to college. Emotional.

When they started playing the flashbacks of all of her seasons on the show and like when she was so little, it just shook me to my core. I guess Candy is really the only OG left. But Candy wasn't on the show. And like when she was so little, it just shook me to my core. I guess Candy is really the only OG left. But Candy wasn't on season one. Oh, I guess. Yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right. So, but she's been on the longest now. Yeah.

And when they flashback, and I forget when she had such short hair and Riley was so small. Like it actually is really crazy. Like the cycle of life, you guys. Yeah. Also them, maybe I was just hungry but them driving to New York like in a sprinter van like just eating like just I was so jealous that's like a

crazy rich way to go to college like a party bus with a U-Haul on the back yeah but also because of COVID otherwise they would have flown oh right right right yeah honestly this seems easier like with your U-Haul that just looked so fun yeah candy's a good mom yeah oh my god and when ace was like um crying that he's not gonna be able to clean for riley like that was really sad i usually hate those scenes it's like just send your kid to college nobody cares but i actually thought it was great i usually hate those scenes but maybe because we have over a decade worth of content right now i can yeah if you're a first season wondering like why no one cares that you're sending your kid to college in your first season like don't care or even third season and you know I hate it the most on Beverly Hills I feel like every season someone's going to college and and

by the way they come home a semester later 100 so like no thank you and or like brookmark brooks marks they never go back um but yeah I'm really happy for Mike and Cynthia I actually think they're like the perfect couple yeah and you know like before Cynthia's wedding to Peter, like everyone, the audience, her family had reservations. And I feel like nobody feels that way about Mike. Like they're such a good couple. Yeah. It's good stuff.

It was a great episode. Oh, and Kenya and Latoya's friendship like is weird. Oh my God. So weird. But Latoya showing the nude photo like at the table in front of other people's like husbands was so inappropriate. I don't know what she was getting at. No, that's like when Lala took her shirt off in front of everyone's boyfriends and

Vanderpump Rules. Yeah. Well, that was worse, but. No, I don't know. For some reason, this just like really struck me. Because it's not your picture to show, first of all. Yeah. And also making it your phone background.

Like, let's just talk like that's a weird thing for you to do like as a person. The whole thing. It wasn't didn't seem weird to me when they were shopping for lingerie. And they were just like showing uh kidding around but like to show it to a whole table and it's not even your photo I was just like and Kenya seemed fine with it but I just would not have been fine with it no I agree that was just like a weird um their friendship is weird yeah also Drew wasn't in the episode because her father-in-law passed away um but I didn't even realize yeah she wasn't there.

Yeah. I just don't know anything about her yet. Like, she's too fresh. Yeah. And now she missed an important episode. She did. Yeah. Just justice for Portia, and I absolutely, oh, and I have to say, you know who's a true hero of the franchise?

Obviously, Marlo. I love her. But Lauren, Portia's sister. She's, like, been so consistent. Like, she's always on the show. She's such a good sister. Like, they're so supportive. She's like been so consistent. Like she's always on the show. She's such a good sister. Like they're so supportive. They have such a good relationship.

And I didn't even realize until this week that they don't have the same mom. I always thought that Portia's mom was Lauren's mom. Yeah. But she's not. And I just loved learning about their background. And I will be purchasing Portia's book. That was my next question.

You'll be purchasing the book. No, it was, she did a really good commercial for it. It was excellent. So yeah, tonight we have the bachelor with matt james the bachelor i'm so excited yeah no it's it's actually really good and it's fun to recap like it is and you know what's like the cleanse has really put me on a whole new schedule and i've been going to sleep really early i think i can stay up till 10 to finish the bachelor though but it's really crazy like i really knew year knew me um just I'm waking up earlier because I need to leave time to like make my smoothies and so and I also like

get kind of hungry at night or just like bored and want to eat so I'm just like okay I should go to sleep and so it's really just like put me on a new schedule and plus like having Bruno sweets like I'm a morning person now like I like both days this weekend I woke up at nine like on my own wow that's so annoying I used to wake up at two yeah okay it was so delicious me and Ben were up till four watching Lost like no but it's like if I wake up whatever time I wake up on my own as long as it's on my own I don't mind what time it is I feel the same if I wake up on my own like with no alarm at 7 30 or 12 30 the fact that I woke up on my own volition I have the free will to wake up whenever I want makes me not tired a hundred percent but I could set an alarm for 11 and I'm fucking exhausted something about the alarm is like ruins your life yeah I actually think that like what we're saying

is also backed by science just like your REM cycle like sometimes your alarm to start disrupts your REM cycle so even if it's later you might be in like a lighter sleep at 7 30 my REM cycle was a hundred percent disturbed this morning. Like no doubt about it. You know what? I woke up naturally and then my alarm went off. But that's also because Zach set his alarm earlier than me, which he always does.
