Good morning, millennials. Welcome back to the Morning Toast Friends and Family Week. Happy Thursday. I'm so excited to be sitting down yet again with a crowd favorite, the one and only host of the Taylor Strecker Show on Patreon, Taylor Strecker. Hey, girl. Hey. How are you doing? I missed you. I'm so happy to be back. I know. Honestly, I'm glad to be podcasting with you, but more so just because we have

a whole afternoon planned of getting drunk. Maybe we'll go shopping. I know. That's really why. No, no, no no that's why we do the work that we do i i can't drunk shop i can't because i have a wedding to pay for i know but you also need like a fabulous hat to wear to the wedding you know i do every bride needs a hat every bride a clutch i already have one it's for the sake of the wedding taylor we're going shopping for the wedding okay i'll get shoes some people shed for the wed i prefer to shop for the sake of the wedding, Taylor. We're going shopping for the wedding. Okay. I'll get shoes.

Some people shed for the wed. I prefer to shop for the wed. I'm with you. I like it. Thank you so much for being here. Seriously, I told you last night or what? A couple nights ago? On Nerd, I will fill in all the time.

I'll be your number one. Fuck Ben. It's me. Fuck Ben. I agree. I don't know what you know about the drama with Ben. What? Maybe I feel like you can understand this because we have really similar personalities.

Okay. So Ben co-hosted with me on Monday. And we got up from this episode and we were all like dying. We were like, that was such a funny episode, whatever. And it was a little stressful for me because usually when Jackie's here, we split the responsibilities. She chooses and reads the stories. I read the ads. We have to time it all.

But it's easy when there's two of us. Right. But when one person's co-hosting, like, it's all on them. So it's always, like, a little bit more stressful when you're guesting with someone. Definitely. So Ben was just, like, being, like, a little crazy. And, like, I guess I was, like, a little uptight just because I was stressed. You have double the work.

Right. And so, but we were still, like, funny. And literally, like, if you go to the YouTube episode, the comments are blowing me up for gaslighting my husband being so mean to him like ben how do you let claudia talk to you and i had such a pit the whole day i'm like i don't want to be that girl like who yells at her husband i'm like but that is also our dynamic like we bicker like that's who we are yeah but that's like but it's in love like couples that can't do that don't really love each other i totally agree yeah And so like I was getting so many messages from married people who were like, this is the best episode I've ever seen.

They get it. And then other people were like, oh my God, like what does Ben's mom think about the way that you talk to him? I'm like, don't fucking bring Ava into this. She is a wonderful person. Don't fucking say her name. That is so low. Bringing a mother-in-law. So low. That is fucked up. And I have an amazing mother-in-law. So like. That is fucked up. And I have an amazing mother-in-law so like don't even fucking say her name. Right Tay I actually just had Tay on my podcast Taste of Taylor. Radio show Patreon. Taste of Taylor free. Right. People get very confused. Taylor has a podcast on the podcast app called Taste of Taylor. It's free and it's great promo for your daily show which is on Patreon which is $6.95 a daily show two hours every day thank you so my

fiance taylor was on it and she was like drinking a beer at like 11 a.m and she's like i get so nervous and like she said i don't want to bicker with you and i was like it's fun when we bicker so then me and jackie were like kind of talking it out yesterday because i was like honestly i don't know if i ever want to do a podcast with ben again like because i don't want i don't want that to be my reputation like i just like felt so so bad. And then I'm like, am I a mean person? And I'm not like, that's really just how me and Ben are. And so Jackie was like, honestly, I challenge anyone who has a husband or a partner to podcast with them and not yell at them. Seriously. We got in an argument because she, so we're both girls. We're getting married. I'm not going to compete

with her. She's a model. She's a blonde, tall, skinny model. Whatever she wears, I want to wear the opposite. So she was all about the slip dress and then over the weekend I was gonna do like a like a chic suit not like a guy suit I love that like a girly suit yeah and on like Saturday she was like you know what I think I want to wear a suit I was like fuck you so we talked about that in the podcast oh that's funny yes yes so I think a lot of people I just felt like you could relate to that because like I had such anxiety about that and I'm like that's what I'm gonna be known for but I guess I have been known for worse things honestly I feel like anyone who's been in a relationship has got to empathize with that thank you no no no no no no and you and Ben I can speak from personal experience

have an incredible relationship and you're like you play together you're fun together you love each other couples like kravis short please short yep short-lived hot flame short burn and i'm loving it like i'm obsessed with it but it is a lot it is overwhelming it's too much it's too much yeah um so we have a really big show for you guys we're not going to be talking about kravis but who knows like what could happen i'm sure all roads lead back to kravis yeah we have tons of stories but i'm also really excited for our tv. We're not going to be talking about Kravis, but who knows, like, what could happen. I'm sure all roads lead back to Kravis. Yeah. We have tons of stories, but I'm also really excited

for our TV recap. One, because I want to talk to you about Summer House because I'm finally all caught up. The reunion's on tonight and Jackie doesn't watch. Two, I caught up on Younger last night,

which I think has released the first five episodes. Yep. You host the Younger after show, so you know how it ends. I do. I do. I'll try not to, you know,

So, Patriots, duh.

And, like, Tom, like, I mean, you cannot not brag if he's your quarterback. And the father of your son. But he's also, like, such a douche and such a bad sport. Really? Like, he does not, I started noticing because my fiancé is an Eagles fan, psychotic, I know. But, like, you see the eyes through, like, a different perspective. Or perspective through different eyes, rather. She's literally eyes rather literally like convincing you she's gaslighting you psychotic but so they were always so mean about Tom and I was like you know what I will root for

the Eagles but be nice to Tom and then I saw him he doesn't shake hands after he loses and I'm like that is you win all the time that's sportsmanship 101 like I used to do you have to do that in the volleyball games like good game game, good game, good game, good game. Exactly. He walks off the field. So I was like,

I don't like that. And then he left us for like the schmuckineers. Yeah. So I now full on hate him and I think I blame Giselle. So I stan, what's her face?

Bridget. You got it. But so I, it's very confusing like what actually goes on behind the scenes. I'm obsessed with the dynamic because first of all, I love Blue Bloods. I know do you what do you know what Blue Bloods is

I know what it is I don't watch it but she's on it right she's on it and I have actually such an amazing story because I um I'm such a big fan and I think I'm the only person under the age of 35 who under the age of 65 I'm gonna say you and my mom literally and it's so good and I think I'm like their millennial spokesperson so one time I got invited to set and me and Margo went because we're obsessed and it was a family dinner scene which meant everyone was there so Tom Selleck like it was amazing and me and Margo got to sit in these chairs and wear the wear the earphones and watch them take the takes and then when they cut they were all just like chatting while like someone was fixing like the set and one of the characters was talking about

how she's dating a guy from Boston and Bridgetget Moynihan goes, I used to date a guy from Boston. I'm dead. And me and Margot were, like, clutching our pearls. What did she say? That's all she said, and everyone was like, oh. But it was just, like, cool to see her acknowledge it, and they don't really, like, you know, tell the public, like, what goes on, but it has to be, like, a treacherous relationship.

Oh, what? Okay, so my dad has a friend so I mean like I know but he is a member at the country club where Tom and Giselle live or like lived I'm not sure well yeah lived in Florida now and he said that the son that Tom has with Giselle is like not into sports at all oh and Bridget Moynihan's son with Tom is like super athletic she's like he's like a mini Tom and Giselle's is kind of like a mini Giselle he just like he just like wants to pose on like the greens at like the golf club I'm with him and Tom gets so frustrated with Giselle's and like favors Bridget well you know what it must be hard to be the kid you know you like you you feel like, I mean, I imagine, I don't

know what the family dynamics are, but like, you know, Tom is like married happily with these two kids. And maybe sometimes you feel like you might be like an outlier. Totally. If Tom like lives for him because he's athletic, then like he deserves it. No, and it makes me so happy. And also Giselle really rubbed me the wrong way when she like first really came into the fold before they had their own.

And she would be like, this is my son. And's like that's that's your stepson you got the man's stop stealing the kid I happen to agree with that because there is a special place in my heart for stepmothers and I think a lot of times people's stepmothers like really can like save their lives yes in certain situations but if the mom's involved like that's just rude yeah I mean stop and Bridget Moynihan is like a good mom yeah right and I just Yeah. I mean, stop. And Bridget Moynihan is like a good mom. Yeah, right? And I just, yeah. I get good vibes from Bridget Moynihan.

So we never see them publicly interact except like if Tom went to Super Bowl, Bridget will like post like she did this past Super Bowl. Right, right, right. But that's really all that we get. And we obviously get Tom hanging out with the oldest son a lot because like you said, he likes football. Yep. But it was just Tom's birthday.

So according to E! News, really no hard feelings because Tom Brady is publicly wishing his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynihan a happy birthday. The 43-year-old quarterback took to Instagram to celebrate the actress turning 50. Brady posted a picture of Moynihan attending the U.S. Open with Jack, the son, and wrote, Happy birthday, Aperjit Moynihan. We hope you have a great Caps day. The exes have proven they're on good terms before, earlier this year, Moynihan congratulated Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on their Super Bowl victory.

She had written, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one from Patriots Nation celebrating at Buccaneers. Hashtag Super Bowl. Hashtag great game. Hashtag strong. Hashtag proud. Hashtag so proud.

Hashtag 55. Hashtag stop with hashtags. She's obviously turning 50 because that's a lot of hashtags. And so a little background. Moynihan and brady started dating in 2004 broke up in 2006 and she learned she was pregnant with their child just a few months after the split when he had already moved on with wife giselle bunchin like okay for all of the people for your ex-boyfriend to move on with like could there be a worse one literally the worst thing in the entire world also he did a mariah carey before Bridget what dead right that's

iconic I know I never finished Mariah's memoir maybe it was in there but she talked mostly about um Tommy Mottola and yeah Derek Jeter I think yeah yeah um I'm like happy about this like I I feel like it's a delicate dynamic you know ex-wife step mom like I really I actually do even though I live for the drama I do genuinely hope like they're all at peace as a collective family. Well, me too, because I feel like in that trifecta, if you will,

of that modern family, the only person who probably is going to lose over and over and over again is Bridget. Yeah, exactly. So if she gets along with Tom, that's great. I think Janelle, Janelle,

Giselle is like kind of sneaky ish. For sure. And competitive AF. But I feel like, you know, for the greater good of the kid. know for the greater good judging a book by its cover she just i can't stand her i know she's like too pretty and honestly the fact that like tom brady chose giselle just like kind of makes me not like him like she's so obviously beautiful

like why don't you just be more creative and like date someone like me you know right it's just like a little disappointing you know i agree she's just too beautiful. Too perfect. But actually, I'm really happy that like it's, I feel like we don't get insights into their relationship at all. Like they're very private, which they should be for the children. Right. But like I do live for it and I'm glad to know that they're in a good place. Me too.

I just like want Bridget Moynihan to like, I mean, so much time has passed now, but like I just want her to like get back at him, you know? Well, does she have anyone? I think she's like a long-term partner. Let me actually look it up because, and even she does it's nobody uh that's gonna be that's like my biggest fear is that Tay and I won't make it and like she'll just end up with like some famous hot rich person I'm just gonna be like okay wait she is married okay got married in 2015 to someone named Andrew Frankel I think he he's Jewish. So she... Is it related to

Bethany? That's literally what I was thinking. He is the co-president of Stuart Frankel & Co., a Wall Street brokerage firm founded by his father. Okay. That is old money. We're happy for her. The wedding pictures look cute. He has a receding hairline but it doesn't matter.

Good. I'm happy for her because it's hard when your fucking ex-boyfriend and father of your son literally moves on with not even arguably like definitively the most beautiful woman in the world oh i know well we're we're praying for her yeah we're praying for all of them she's in her prayers i know it's your favorite you want to bless yourself i bless myself um i'm also obsessed with that t dance. I'm getting ripped tonight. R.I.P. that. Hey! Literally, I'm a 12-year-old. A little bit more celebrity news.

Couples way less famous than Chama Giselle. Inside Tariq El Moussa and Heather Rae Young's romantic engagement party. Okay, nobody cares. They had an engagement party, but there were a couple people from Selling Sunset there, and that's why we care. Chrishell Staus. I don't think that's a surprise last we left like she was taking that side she wasn't on the Davina Christine Quinn

side fucking Davina Mary Fitzgerald literally my least favorite person on planet earth actually my second least favorite my first is Roman really no Davina's my number one I'm sorry like I don't even hate Davina as much as everyone else does because, like, she obviously has taste because she's friends with Christine Quinn. And, like, that's who I would be friends with if I worked at Oppenheim Group. But Davina is not her friend. She's her foot soldier. Fine.

I would love to have a foot soldier. Yeah. You would love to have one. But to be the foot soldier is pathetic. And then also, Amanza was there, who's really nice. And she's kind of, like, neutral in the group. I love Amanza. I die for her looks. Her fashions are next level. And you just like root for her. It's like she couldn't sell

that one house. It's like just do it. Your first house is always the hardest. It was so sad. It was so sad but something about Selling Sunset that I worry about is like it feels really really fake but the fact that like Chrishell, Mary, and Amanza were the ones invited to Heather's engagement party that tracks. I know. I don't think it's fake. I really, really don't. I think that they were definitely cast together. But once you're like co-workers, you develop relationships. The home selling is definitely like fake. It is on all of those shows. On Million Dollar Listing, it's completely fake.

I don't know. I know Frederick really well. And it seems like he's selling that shit for real. By the way, I think the real estate agents on those Million Dollar Home shows are very, very successful. But the apartments that are... totally the woman who does my hair said that one of her clients has like a sickening apartment and they just used it to film like fake selling it that tracks yeah so I think it's fake but I I worried that like so much of selling sunset was fake like half of them maybe not even were real estate agents but this tracks Chrishell Mary Amanza and Heather I heard that the Oppenheim group doesn't even exist on Sunset but that's a

lie because I drove by it last time I was in LA like eight months ago and it was there oh good yeah thank god they're opening I think in the OC because Tarek he's the star of Flip or Flop which is literally the worst show on HGTV and I can't believe after all of their drama and divorce like HGTV like thought it was worth fighting for because now like she has her own show and he has his own show and it's just like so and they have the flip or flop show that they co-parent like it was never even a good show but honestly their divorce made them both interesting and more famous yep I saw him in the airport once and I took a photo with him is he cute cute? Um, no. But like, I have like met, I've been in the, in the presence, not to be like annoying, of like so many famous people.

And I never asked to take pictures, but like, I just thought it was too funny. Because like, I don't really like, I just, I don't know. Like, I'm like nervous, but like. Oh, no, no. I get not taking pictures. Why did you take a picture with him? Because I had just started watching HGTV like so much. This was before he was still married to Christina.

And I was like, this is just hilarious. It's like, it was like seeing Ina Garten, you know? Yes, okay, I get it. I would take a picture with Ina, totally. But I do think this is the weirdest couple. And honestly, like I know I bring it up. Everyone's going to say like, these are one of the five stories I always bring up.

But like, I have not looked at him the same since that incident. People don't even talk about it. Like right when him and Christina were getting divorced, like literally the cops had to come to their house because he like yelled broke a door took a gun and ran up into the mountains behind their house it's like a crazy fucking story and then they got divorced and it was all fine and the show was fine but like nobody talks about that and I just insane I just think that it's worth talking about it's

worth mentioning never forget never forget yeah so like I hope that he's a changed man because that's like a scary situation to be in but Heather is just like too excited about her engagement ring to even give a shit. Right? Heather. Oh my God. And she's also one of those like Giselle type stepmoms. Yes she is. Because like I was searching for stories and there was, they did an exclusive with E talking

about like the engagement party and like it was all about the kids. They call me super stepmom. Like chill the fuck out. I just feel like it is so disrespectful. I agree. Unless the mom is totally out of the picture. Then it's such amom. Like, chill the fuck out. I just feel like it is so disrespectful. I agree. Unless the mom is totally out of the picture. Then it's such a blessing. Yes.

To have lost someone, but have someone come in who just immediately loves you. It's such a blessing. But if it's a blended family, and you're co-parenting with the kid's biological children. I never had a stepmom, so maybe I can't speak from experience, but I feel like it would be really hurtful to the mom. No, this is classic mean girl gaslighting shit. You're my friend. Let's go shopping.

It's like, no, no, no, no, no, no. We are in agreement. Okay, so that's pretty much all the celebrity news, but there is a bunch of like random ass. Oh, actually, there's a little bit more celebrity news that I think you and I would love. Okay. From page six, third story.

Jessica Simpson says she threw away her scale and has no idea of her weight. Yep. Jessica Simpson told Hold a Copy on the Today Show that she has no idea what her current weight is, having banished a scale from her home a long time ago. She said, I threw it out. You said it was like a Ouija board in church. Bye bye. She said, I have no idea how much I weigh.

Like, I just want to feel good and be able to zip up my pants. If I don't, I have another size. I have every size. I do too. I've really tried my hardest not to let that define me. And that, she said, with COVID-19, it has been especially intense. We've all been handed challenges and fears in our lives that at times feel like too much to overcome. Did you read her book?

I didn't. I did not. I should have. You still can. Like, I have a copy. It's worth it. Really? First of all, it's so juicy.

She goes in on Nick Lachey, John Mayer, all of the men. Okay. But it's also really balanced in the sense that usually when I read a celebrity memoir, my least favorite part is hearing about how they grew up. I actually might even skip that chapter. But I would say the first third of the book, she grew up really interesting. Well, her dad is wild. Bible Belt.

Yeah. She had these crazy stories because they were so involved in the church and they had like no money but her mom was just like doing everything she could to help the community. Like it was actually really really interesting and it makes you just like love her so much. And there's a lot even about like Ashley about how like. And I think Ashley's writing a book too because Jessica's was so interesting. They really had just like such an interesting life before being famous. And then were like thrown into a whirlwind of fame.

And like some of the shit they went through like would never fly. Like now in this day and age. Right, right, right. It's really good. But I just ever since that like I've always loved her because I grew up being a fan of Jessica Simpson and we have the same birthday. So I always felt like especially connected to her. And after reading her book, like I'm even more in love with her.

I think she's such a good role model and I love her. And I love that she just like made a billion dollar business and peace the fuck out of the public I that's that's the way to go yes but to the for the scale I think that this I wish I had the strength I do not but I so co-sign what she's saying of course yeah but like it's like a vicious cycle because like you get into a place where it's like sometimes you feel like you really do want to weigh yourself frequently so that you know where you're at so that like your weight doesn't get so out of hand but then it becomes so toxic and you become so obsessed that you don't weigh yourself and now it's like I haven't weighed myself in so long like I fear the scale so it's a really fucked up relationship it is and honestly just tossing it

it's like brilliant and I just love the the mindset of being like all right so my pants don't fit like get another pair I know oh god I have such food stuff and such weight stuff and such body image crap but like I remember I kind of was like taught not to throw my mom under the bus I love her so so so much and the thing is she wasn't like torturing me she was torturing herself and it just trickled down kind of a thing I feel that and she was like when I would gain weight it was kind of like well we're not gonna go shopping for new clothes because you want to inspire yourself to put back in your old clothes right and you both leave like a skinny pile like section of the closet always I still do I have like size twos in the closet my whole closet that's why I literally wear the same thing

every night my whole closet is like yeah when I get skinny again I'll wear that stuff right and it's torture no and it's like such nice stuff like I really should lose the weight just so I can fit into these fabulous clothes but like I just don't care like Stella McCartney fuck that's the other thing it's like I was actually thinking about this on my way over here that's so weird I was actually thinking how it's kind of a blessing that I'm like not a sample size like I can't wear designer clothes because if I could like I am now of a place in my life where I'm like so like financially independent and like I have financial freedom like I would buy that shit I know and the fact that I can't is like kind of a blessing right we're like we live the high low

yeah because I can't justify buying the clothes because I can't fit into them but if I did like clothes that it's such a huge waste to buy expensive clothes. But like imagine if like I could fit like, and I always have like weddings and events. I'm like, and I buy most of my shit like from Revolve or like ASOS, which is like moderately priced. ASOS, Zara, same. Yeah. Yeah. So, but like imagine if I was like so like thin that like every time I had somewhere

to go, I would just like go to Bergdorf Goodman. Like that's what I would do. But I can't because I'm fat. And I think it's a blessing. And I think it's a protective barrier from destructive financial behaviors. That's how I'm going to look at it for me from now on. I think it's a really good perspective. I do too.

We have been blessed. We have been blessed. With these extra layers that protect us from financial ruin. I think it's a really interesting way of thinking about this. Yeah, when I was skinny for like one summer, my wedding, and I... By the way, there's a book series called The Summer I Turned Pretty. And for us, I was skinny for like one summer, my wedding. And I, there's a book series called the summer. I turned pretty.

And for us, it's the summer I turned skinny. And I literally went to intermix and I was like, but it, everything looks so good. It was so hard for you. So I bought all of it. And honestly, it's stupid.

It's stupid. Stupid. So I'm going to keep wearing my Zara. And revolve is like good high low. Cause like some of the shits on there, $50 and some of it it's like out of control expensive. Are you ready to move on

including underneath your profile when you log into the left side navigation bar and in the 10th row of Netflix's homepage. The company's been testing the feature for months under a variety of names, but today marks its official worldwide debut for all Netflix users. To start, the company is rolling out the Play Something button on TV-based versions of the app, but it has plans to start testing it on Android devices too. So Netflix wants to stress that it's not just a random button that throws you into a metaphorical

wolves, throws you to the metaphorical wolves the feature uses your existing profile and taste in shows and movies to surface similar titles based on what kinds of things you already watch the button will show a variety of algorithmically curated content including entirely new shows and movies series or films you've already started or something on your watch list how is this different than the thing that they do now yeah i guess like all the categories that come up are in some way, you know, because if I went on to your Netflix, it would be so different than mine because it's based on your viewing. But I guess it's like this just literally starts playing something for you.

Speaking of. That's a really good call that it's literally like they already do that. Right. Like I was sitting here being like doing long division in my head speaking of netflix though and other people's accounts so obviously like family share of course so on ours we are like the the payers uh-huh and then taste little sisters on it her mom and dad are on it and then randomly out of nowhere a person named jane popped up. Shut the fuck up. And we're like, who F Jane? I have a theory.

What do you think? Have you logged into your Netflix account? Like if you've rented an Airbnb or like, because the thing is like we rent houses a lot for vacations because we're so many people. Yeah. And on the day, you know, there's things you do on the day. You leave, you pack, you wash your underwear.

I always go to every TV and unlock out of like Amazon Prime and stuff because it's so dangerous. All your information is on there. So you might have stayed at an Airbnb. I'm trying to think. I mean, not recently, but maybe nobody was staying at Airbnbs for a while and now they're back and doing it. Tay traveled a lot for work. And I do remember when I was on tourist dossier, I definitely would log into the Netflix.

But in hotels, when you log into a Netflix, part of checkout is like they'll log you out it doesn't stay so then I don't think so that was just a theory of mine but that's really creepy who's Jane hashtag who is Jane that's really weird but I thought maybe it was like a beta tester or something but we can't and it's a really weird profile like the things that pop up are like so generic that's really creepy jane is watching you honestly like you did point out a good inconsistency in this button but i'm really grateful because a lot of people are like you know your information is everywhere and like it's like a bad thing like all these companies have so much information about you but it's like okay netflix has my information and they're trying to help me so like they're trying to help me find

something to watch so i'm honestly pretty grateful if you're gonna take my information and they're trying to help me. So like they're trying to help me find something to watch. So I'm honestly pretty grateful. If you're going to take my information, like at least make my life easier. They're so helpful. They are. They just want to help. Also, Netflix has the best interface of all of the streaming services in my humble opinion. Who do you think has the worst? Because me and Jackie have a definitive answer and I'm curious.

The worst is Apple. I don't have it. So the next one. It's so, so horrible. It makes me angry. The second worst. It's Hulu. I don't have it So the next one It's so So horrible I don't have it It makes me angry The second worst It's Hulu I don't know I've

It's horrible I think the more That you navigate something The better it gets Yeah but like Hulu just has like A lot of problems Yeah

On Apple TV Do you have an Apple TV That's what I hate Well no no You know what people say It's like if you have Like a Fire Stick Or a Roku

Or an Apple TV Like that changes the configuration yes of the streaming platform hulu looks different on a fire stick I had a fire stick for a really long time and before covid I changed to an apple tv or actually in the middle of covid it was such a blessing like I can't believe I didn't have apple tv before damn really we have a a row is roku no ol a Roku. She's obsessed with it. Yeah, I like it. But Apple TV is so supreme. Yeah, well, the Apple whatever on Roku blows. Oh, so the Apple streaming service. It's atrocious. It's insulting.

It's so confusing. That sucks. The Apple TV interface is actually pretty good. You know what else is terrible? Fucking HBO Max. Really? Atrocious. It won't even remember.

That's true. For all the shit that Netflix gets, actually, how frustrating when I watch Sex and the City all day long, and then I want to pick up where I left off, and it sends me all the way back to where you started. Come on! I agree. I mean, I guess I never realized, because for HBO Max,

I really only watch Friends on it. So I just go to Friends, and I just press play. I don't really keep up consistently. And you don't care where you leave off necessarily right but I did recently re-watch sex in the city in its entirety and I do remember when I would like watch in the living room and then go to bed on the same account in my room like it would it would take me back to where I started it was so frustrating yep no you're totally right worst um so hopefully that will help even though like I could just imagine like me and Ben sitting down we'll do the play something

button and like we'll hate everything it suggests. Always. So like I don't even know if this helps. Although I did find the Baker and the Beauty and what a treat. It's an Israeli show. I loved it. I know. I need to start watching it.

Yeah. It's good. Okay. Good. Maybe I'll actually do that. All right. Fifth and final story from Bloomberg. Walmart is expanding delivery to your fridge.

Ooh. In the fall of 2019, they started testing a service to deliver groceries right into your fridges while the customers were out. Yeah. Then the pandemic kept Americans at home making Walmart's in-home business

largely unnecessary. But it's not dead. With online grocery booming during COVID-19 and vaccinations rising, the world's largest retailer is expanding the service. It still faces a hurdle, though.

Do Americans trust Walmart traipsing through their kitchens? So they are now offering like grocery delivery and putting it in your fridge. Ooh. Like, letting strangers into your home. Queen of England style. I like this. They debuted in Pittsburgh, Kansas City, and Florida.

And they recently brought the new in-home turf to the Northwest Arkansas area and Southeast Florida. So I think a lot of people are like, feel comfortable about this because like, okay, having your groceries delivered is super normal. I actually have not been to a grocery store in years. I use Instacart, Peapod.

There's so many services. Uber Eats now has it. So many. So many in New York. But I don't know if I would let someone into my home when I wasn't home. I mean, here's the thing.

Are they going to clean my fridge out? No, they literally just put it away. Cause you know, if you have grocery delivery And you're not home And you have popsicles Like you're fucked Right

Right I get it now I don't know I think I would opt out I'm kind of a freak About people being in my house And you just have to schedule Your grocery deliveries

For like after 5 o'clock When you're home Yeah It's actually like It's so easy To work around that This isn't a problem That really needed to be solved

No And I would not feel comfortable like no no no no i really don't like but i love the ingenuity of making life easy for us i just think this is a miss if they clean the fridge then i'm in for it yeah and also like sweep the floors yeah that's it dust my curtains like if you want to do like all these other things maybe i'd be into it but it doesn't seem like a really big problem and now mostly like everyone on the planet works from home so you could literally you could literally have your groceries delivered in five minutes yeah Walmart you're a little like behind the eight ball on this one yeah but I do love that they're thinking of ways to make my life easier at

home yeah and I'd love to see what they come up with next sure but this isn't it this is not it not at all no um okay so those were the past five stories and I feel like maybe they weren't breaking news but I feel like they they weren't breaking news, but I feel like they were interesting. And now if you go to a dinner party, you can be like, Hey, did you hear Walmart,

you know, moved into the Northeast Arkansas area with their in-home delivery and grocery service? Hey, I'm interesting. Hey, I'm smart. Right.

And that's, I'm well read. Literally all that matters. Okay. Let's do a little TV recap because I want to talk to you first and foremost about summer house. I get flip clamp.

I was with you two weekends ago. You started watching it, and then I came home and watched the whole thing. You were really resisting, by the way. Yeah, because, and I spoke about this yesterday, so I don't want to repeat myself, but I watched

the first season, and honestly, it was so terrible. Oh, it's like night and day. Night and day. I've watched them all, though, to be fair. Okay, I just was like, okay, the Hamptonsons is a fabulous place and there are no fabulous people on the show then yeah I think the show kind of blew up so the people who have stayed on the show have become cool because they're famous reality stars yes and then they just did a good job with bringing in new people like yeah Paige I'm just obsessed with yeah um and it's really such a good show and

I have to say of all the shows that i've watched in covid that was probably the one i watched and forgot it was covid the most like they really did the most with what they had because they never leave the house anyway which is ironic though because they were like the epitome of a covid show because they literally couldn't leave because of covid but and part of the reason i never watched it before is like they never even left the house other seasons because no one in montauk would let them film like the better business bureau and the whatever like all these like locally owned businesses did not want Summer House film there.

So they would close their doors to Summer House people. So they were always sitting in the house anyway. This season was really no different. And it really is reflective of the Hamptons. Like when you're out there and you have a sick house, like you don't really leave the house that much. No, you invite people over. But there's just so much going on now that I'm obsessed with.

I'm obsessed with Robert and Danielle. No, you invite people over. But there's just so much going on now that I'm obsessed with. I'm obsessed with Robert and Danielle. Ugh, Danielle. I don't live for her. She's so boring. But Robert is like so cute. I love how he just like came and became,

I feel like he's gonna be a cast member next season. He's adorable. And he cooked such a nice meal for the wedding. I want him to cook for my wedding. That steak,

let's talk about it. It looked so good. Can I be honest? Yeah. Steak. I could cook that I disagree you cannot like steak is like the hardest thing to cook I mean fine fine fine fine but I make a mean chicken Milanese I make a really good bowl of cereal um okay so I'm obsessed like I just feel like the dynamics getting really good like I do like before I go to bed every night like

I think of Stravi because he is in such a toxic relationship and she's really entertaining but she's fucking crazy yeah I mean I always get nervous about talking about Lindsay because like I'm scared when I run into Lindsay it's gonna be weird she's very hot and cold like I just is I have the best reference well you don't watch about to wrap but like do you watch summer house she's Claire Crawley you don't show up for me like she just like says these blanket statements that mean nothing and like this guy honestly like i do i pray for him and his wellness because like she's not an easy person to be in a relationship with no she's not a good drinker like no some people get drunk and have a different personality and that's her and that's really scary and that's like a frightening person to be in love with yes um because some people just get drunk and get crazy they get drunk and get mean she becomes a different person I know she's also righteous and justified like it's always her

perspective and never his and that's just like like a relationship is compromised it's not like I am Lindsay here is my scary ass list of things I want and this is how it's gonna go like that doesn't work that way also he tried to do something nice in the middle of a pandemic and he got the food from that place like that was so that was so horrible to watch it was and her dress was a church dress it was like slooty overalls yes in her defense though because when i had watched a few episodes of the first season She's definitely most improved Most improved Yeah because She's a great reality star

Oh she's fabulous Fabulous to watch Yeah So I don't like Hate her No I love Amanda so much And I tolerate Kyle

Okay I'll take a tolerate Kyle I am She definitely makes him A better man I've been watching for so long And also this is a caveat Even since season man I've been watching for so long and also this is a caveat even since season one I've always had a friend on the show and yes so I have heard stories about Kyle and Amanda I've also hung out with them I have also actually my radio show is the reason

that Kyle had to admit that he cheated on Amanda go more Stephen McGee came on. And when did he cheat? I don't know that. It was like season one or two. And so Stephen came on and like very unanonymously like hinted that there was a castmate and they were a couple and that he like, you know, they tried to be perfect

but he had cheated. So what happened was my listeners, little effers, figured out, hey, no, they were like, obviously it's Kyle and Amanda.

So they DM'd Amanda. And they were like two things. Either your man'sanda so they dm'd amanda and they were like two things either your man's cheating on you need to know or you're or this kid's lying on your relationship you need to know and so she confronted him with that news he actually came on taste of taylor and that's when i found out he was like you're the reason why i had to so i don't and so given that the fact that they're still nice to me like i have to give them credit for that okay no the thing is is like i don't have anything against kyle at all and honestly the fact that they're still nice to me, like I have to give them credit for that. Okay. No, the thing is, is like, I don't have anything against Kyle at all. And honestly, the fact I like, I love Amanda. So if she likes Kyle, like he must be a good person.

I just think there's a really fucked up weird dynamic in the house. And I've thought, I've thought of that even when I used to watch how like Kyle's kind of like in charge of everyone and like they always get the master bedroom. Like that would bother me. Right. So I'm just curious, like what is it about Kyle that like makes him the man of the house and even and we'll get into it when Kyle when Hannah was like apologizing to Kyle and she was like you're the man like why I just that Amanda is a nice girl.

I think that Kyle's a fun guy, but I think that Kyle is a controlling nightmare. Like if you're living in a house with him, it's like, oh my God, shut up. You're not the boss of everyone. Wait, that's the thing. He has, but the network and just like people have empowered him to believe he's the boss.

So he acts like the boss. And I just want to know why, how did we get get there I think it's just season one so the show really like like Vanderpump the show actually came out of people who were really friends really doing things that they already did and so because he was like an OG cast member and also like an OG real friend to people yeah I think that like I think he feels like Summer House is his and if you're on it you're welcome yes the thing that he doesn't realize is that shit almost got canceled so the people they brought in the page and the hannah and who else did they bring in danny no danielle was always there kind of honestly really page and hannah and luke i have to oh luke but no i i am here to defend luke no

we can't have lunch after why i wait baby steps wait put pins in everything one thing but i feel like kyle thinks that it's his show and so when people like okay so you know he has lover boy right that's his drink okay so when he first came like it's doing great now but when it first came out allegedly like other cast members were getting deals with truly because they're influencers right and he was so livid that they were working with truly and i'm like and allegedly other cast members can't get in the way of people's business that's what they were saying then they were like listen i'm not gonna and it wasn't just one cast member it was a lot of them and listen maybe that's truly coming for lover boy which is fucked up but like hey

lover boy then pay them their rates but like that wasn't the case it was like oh you're my friends don't get paid you know and it's like no no no that's and but i anyone who comes in between me and my money is no friend of mine but i think in his mind he was like well without me and the show you wouldn't be there right but it's like well people did come in with their own social you know numbers i don't i don't buy into that at all not in control so i think that it's like a control. Same. I'm the man type of like bravado he has that like rubs people the wrong way. I agree.

But a lot of the cast members like let him think that. So true. Which then enables the beast. Right. It's a vicious cycle. Did you see him come for the lack of work ethic for podcasters? Because that was not lost on me. That was not lost on me either

and that was really disrespectful because a lot of people say to me, like, you work an hour a day. I'm like, you don't even know. You have no idea. Also, Kyle, you're drunk every night like a fucking baby frat boy. Yeah.

So, like, don't come for me about being professional. That I really did not like. I do not like it. And because I get that shit all the time. Like, well, if you had a real job, I'm like, girl, like, you don't even know how much more money I make than you. Like, go fuck yourself.

And it is a real job. You should see her, like, even, how much more money I make than you like go fuck yourself and it is a real job you should see her like even like watching you do social videos today you take it seriously like a job it's a job it's a job that really bothered me I really don't like that but so okay let's keep going down the list um because we have to talk about Hannah obviously I'm trying to avoid it oh sorry well the thing is no no no I will talk about Hannah I can like we are actually very good. I knew her before she was on Summer House. I am a social climber. But this is actually a friendship before. She came on my radio show first.

Let me just say, Liz, she's, I actually, I'm not going to, like, be mean because I actually feel bad. She's having a really rough season. Because I've been, like, just posing about Summer House. Like, every single person is like, and I'm not one to pile on because she's a friend. So I'm not going to do that. she's a friend so I'm not gonna do that I do think she has gotten a bad at it but I also think she did not do herself any favors I think it's well said listen I am a loyal friend but I am not um delusional delusional and I'm like

and I also let people know the truth and also Hannah in our actual friendship she has done things that annoy me okay so I get like Hannah like maybe overstepping and not seeing her role in things but I will say this with Hannah when I've ever like had an issue I go to her first thing directly and it's resolved immediately she's like oh my god I didn't even realize I'm so sorry the issue with Hannah and the rest of the house is no one's fucking communicating with her so it's like no I don't agree with that I think everyone's like doing she's just very defensive no I think that there's no communication. It piles up, then it explodes.

And then she gets defensive because it's like such an explosion. I think if they came to her like, hey, calmly, this, that, and the other, I think she would respond hella better. You're a good friend. But let me say this. I feel like everyone's against you though. Of course. It's like good luck not exploding.

I think of all the things that like she is, you know, being hated on for. One of the things that just like actually really bothers me is how she keeps, she's so wrong in all of these arguments and she gets so mad at Paige for not defending her. That I definitely. Leave Paige the fuck alone. Paige is allowed to make up her own mind. Paige doesn't need to die on every hill for you. Like it's a lot.

So like that probably bothers me the most. Like I don't care that Dez didn't hang out with the group like literally i don't care about that either he's so much older than them why would he be hanging out with a bunch of 25 sober oh he is so like he's not gonna get fucked up with them and also they wanted to fuck oh the fucking in the bathroom was so disrespectful it wasn't great and one of my this is this is what we're going through on real housewives of dallas like when you don't respect other people's personal property. And I get that it's not, you know, their bathroom. They didn't build it with their own hands,

but it's their space. Yeah. That was on my list, top list of like biggest atrocities ever committed. It wasn't a good idea. I don't think it, I laughed. And of course I'm like, oh, whatever. But if somebody hooked up in my bathroom,

I would be mad. I would be, even if just somebody like just was in my room, like I'm just the type type of person like my space is so personal to me especially when you're in a house with so many people like I know you have to protect your room I'm sure it gets very toxic with all the drinking and it's weeks on weeks and so your room is like your safe space if I just want to and I'm sure they'll talk about at the reunion because Kyle and Amanda still don't know technically in the show that they fucked in the bathroom. Right. I, like, to me, that would be unforgivable. I do think it was a fuck you.

Of course. Totally. So, you know. Of course, it was intentional. Yeah. I mean, listen, there was definitely moments during the show, watching her as my friend, that I cringed. I was actually cringing the most watching it with you guys that week when we were together.

Because it's one thing for me to watch it by myself. But to see other people who don't have skin in the game necessarily watch it was like oh god this is why this is why people are being yeah so rough on her it was like it was difficult but I will say the cringiest part she feels cringy about it too FYI okay the cringiest part was the apology to Kyle the most cringy because the thing is Kyle was saying really mean things to her and yeah Hannah was in the right but Hannah makes a huge mistake and that's why she's not ever going to be friends with Amanda again is because every time her and Kyle are fighting she's like well why don't you go yell at Amanda and it's like Amanda's your friend and it's like it's already

hard enough for her to be in the middle of it but then for you to drag her into it and say mean things about her relationship like she is engaged to this person like yeah that's where she loses and that's why it was like painful to watch like Paige and Amanda this last episode like be so cute and like be bridesmaids and I was like literally tearing up it was like so cute and like Hannah's just sitting there so awkward like it used to be the three of us it's like yeah because you keep like fighting with Kyle which is fine but then bringing Amanda into it like she doesn't understand like the reason why she's now being left out of the wedding is because not because she's fighting with Kyle but because she literally cannot fight with him without bringing Amanda into it and listen and also like

when you choose to marry somebody that's your person they're an extension of you I actually had a conversation with her about this I said listen I understand that like from like a good friend feminist point of view you're like he's bossy he's controlling he yells at all of us he says mean things to all of us Amanda included we watch seasons right of him like say such mean shit and do mean shit to Amanda so I think at her she's like, I'm trying to protect my friend. But there comes a point in time when your friend makes a decision. Like my best friend from college, she was dating this guy. I did not like him.

I'm like, he's not good for her. But I talk shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. One day she finally came to me and she was like, why don't you like him? And I was like, because he's not good for you. And she was like, stop talking shit. I choose to be with him. And that's when I was like, you know what? You're right. Once you make that decision decision I have to shut up about my opinions and so I started to just like I'm like if you choose him then I'm gonna enjoy the good parts

of him and he's like one of my close friends now so yeah and I actually have a lot of respect for Amanda for just like she really stands by her man even when Kyle like does say things like the podcast thing that are indefensible like she stands by her man and I have respect for that I do have respect for standing by your man however let me just say is there anybody other than me who wonders like because Kyle has such vitriol towards Hannah that's gotta come from conversations privately that are not happening on the show what kind of conversation I just feel like there's like I just feel like just watch closely I just think that I think Amanda is great okay but I think that Amanda has way more skin in the Kyle and Hannah knocking along game than we actually see I think she's the kind of girl who I don't think about her mans to her friends I don't think so and then talk shit about her

friends to her man she seems really genuine I do not think so it's just a question I'm putting out in the universe another question I'm putting out in the universe. Another question I'm putting out in the universe is, wait, should I just had something? It was about Kyle and Hannah. Okay, I can't remember. I will just say this. The scariest kind of mean girl

is the mean girl who everyone thinks is the nice girl. Yeah, I know, but I'm just telling you, I'm a really good reader of people. That's not her. I've watched one season of the show. The thing I wanted to say was something else that really bothers me that like,

it's like why people, why maybe Hannah feels like people are ganging up on her, but like they're just annoyed with her. It's like, she doesn't fucking help. She doesn't cook. She doesn't clean. Her room is disgusting.

Like that really, that like when you're living in a house, like I don't want to live in a pigsty. I was thinking, I'm like, I can never fucking live in that house. That entryway is just filled with empty boxes. Like throw them out. It's so frustrating. I know. I was thinking, I'm like, I can never fucking live in that house. That entryway is just filled with empty boxes. Like throw them out.

It's so frustrating. I know. I will say, I will say. Not helping is unacceptable. I will say, I think that what Hannah did wrong was she opened her mouth.

She should have never offered to take out the trash. First of all, the kitchen is on the top level. Oh, the house is so dumb. That house is so dumb. And that many people,

I, we accumulate at least one to two bags of trash a day in our house. Per person. Like, right? So I'm thinking, and that's down the we accumulate at least one to two bags of trash a day per person like right so I'm thinking and that's down the hallway and I can barely do it so I mean we leave trash bags for at least and like overnight that's also disgusting to have to like take the dirty bag like and drag it throughout the house till you go outside and also like at night there's like raccoons you're in the woods like that's scary for a girl and there's a lot of stairs

I'm just saying I agree she should never have volunteered that job. That's where she went wrong because then Kyle had a reason to get mad at her. If she like Paige, Paige didn't lift a finger and she got away with it. But like when Paige does it, it's like not annoying. You know what I mean? I'm just like a Paige apologist and I'm also Amanda apologist and like I just really want to be friends with them. Listen, I stan Paige. I really truly do. I like Amanda. I just don't know if I buy. Like, I think when two friends are fighting, everyone's involved. It's impossible to fight with yourself. And so I know we want to blame it on Kyle and Hannah.

But I think that Amanda is more involved. And she's good at it, man. She's good at her game. It works. America loves her. I'm just saying, I'm watching with a careful eye. Doesn't mean I hate her. I like her.

I had dinner with her and Stassi and Bo and Kyle and my Tay it was great as this episode you're probably not gonna have dinner with her no no no I'm shocked that they even still talk to me I'm pretty sure after this season things I've said there's like no way in hell that's okay they're not my friends um well I'm excited because the reunion's on tonight and maybe I'll talk about oh TPG is on tomorrow maybe he'll watch um it's good oh I know. I'm so jealous. You can come over and just like hang and watch. I might.

Let's also talk about Younger because yesterday I caught up on the first five episodes. They're on Hulu and they're on Paramount Plus and a little spoiler alert. So if you haven't watched it yet, maybe just meet this part.

The show is so good. I want to run Liza over with my car. Like I can't stand her. And you know what? That's the Darren Star way. He makes his protagonist so unlikable. And honestly, it's like, I don't even want her to end up with Charles. You know, Charles, end up with Quinn.

Like, I don't give a shit. End up with Hilary Duff. End up with anyone. End up with Hilary Duff. I hate Liza so fucking much. She's so annoying. And it's like, why don't they spruce her up a little bit? She's looking like everyone's getting fabulous fashions. so fucking much she's so annoying and it's like why don't they spruce her up a little bit she's

looking like like everyone's getting fabulous like fashions and she's wearing the same fucking fringe coat every season it's like she doesn't get any like character development in terms of her style I'm like Hilary Duff and literally the star of the show is Lauren oh she is I mean I will say this from doing the after show the whole cast is like Lauren carried this season on her back like all of them say it I feel like when she got cast and and I don't know this for sure and like when the role was written for it was a small part but she just like did so much with every scene that they they gave her a huge role but where the fuck is Diana oh I know so she come back ever is she off the show so there is um

a return of some kind that's all I'm gonna say okay but yeah that's I mean but it is it it's it's a it's a return of some kind I'm like I'm so upset actually what can I say she's literally my favorite I die for her I know I think you're gonna see kind of like a little passing of the button from a Diana to a Lauren but Lauren is really good at being Diana she's fantastic doesn't it make you want to work in publishing? Yes, diva. Yes, I love it. I love Lauren so much. Darren actually, she was just supposed to come on like for a few scenes. Right. And Darren

was like, this kid's got it. She's a star. She is a star. She actually, speaking of Sex and the City, she kind of gives me Carrie Bradshaw vibes like in only the good parts. In a millennial way. In a millennial way, yeah. Yeah, Liza's just so fucking unlikable. And, like, honestly, it's like, what the fuck are you doing?

Like, you don't want to get married to Charles because you're scared? Shut the fuck up. Like, it's so stupid. Like, I can't, like, of course. It's so stupid. I will say, because I remember, like, even watching Gang Ready to Do the After Show, because we shot it ahead of time. I was, like, watching the first few episodes. And I was like episodes and I'm like why is like Liza's like bumming me out

she's kind of like sad negative like Stella get your groove back and she I will say as the season progresses it it starts to feel cozy and familiar again but no your reads right like yeah there's definitely and they definitely did that intentionally I just love because I think at the end of the day they all acknowledge like Liza's been lying throughout the whole thing. And, like, you don't just get away with that shit. Agreed. Agreed.

And so that thing is, like, the writers and the cast and Darren, they always hold the, like, the show, the protagonist accountable. I'm just telling you, the end is, it's just, it's a great final season. Okay. It's a great end. I was, like, had, like, I was crying. I had, like, goosebumps. I was very happy with it. Okay. It's a great end. I was like, had like, I was crying. I had like goosebumps. I was very happy with it.

Well, because here's the thing. First of all, we don't get enough Debbie Mazur. We don't get enough. We get a lot of Debbie this season. Good. Yep. There was a little plot twist at the end with the whole professor thing. Yep.

We don't get enough Debbie Mazur. We get too much fucking Liza. She's so infuriating and I just can't stand her. Tell me how you really feel. No, I really fucking hate her. And there's a variety of things going on. And it's like, of course, Josh is still in love with her. She should end up with Josh.

That's literally who she deserves. And of course, it's literally Aiden versus Big. Totally. Aiden is Josh and Mr. Big is Charles. And of course, you wanted Mr. Big in Sex and the City. But honestly, Carrie was so undeserving. And literally, the same goes for wanted Mr. Big in Sex and the City, but honestly, like Carrie was so undeserving. And literally the same goes for Liza. I could literally see the patterns in Darren Star. Liza is so fucking undeserving of Charles. Liza is so fucking annoying. You do. Oh, she's like, oh, I can't say yes to you. I have to talk to my child.

Call her. It's been a month. You haven't even called your kid yet. Wait, wait. I will say this. i first watched sex in the city i thought carrie was it yeah gold everything and now later on when i watch back she is a doofus it's her fault that her and big didn't get together all those seasons it's all her fault everything she's a terrible friend terrible carrie v liza i think Liza is much more likable than Carrie. Really think about it. Okay. Here's the thing. Liza is a better friend and she's nicer, but they have equally poor decision-making skills. Fair. Which makes for? A great show. A great show. So it's really good. The show just makes me want to like go out and like do ecstasy. Like they're always just like

having fun, you know? I know. And that's the thing too. Like they really, it's so New York City. It's so Brooklyn. It's so young. I, I like, Oh, what an honor to get to work on the show. Seriously. And the fact that it's over, it's very,

it's very bittersweet because the production on it's a lot, you know, it's a lot of work and there's like scripts involved and I don't really do all the scripts, but, um, no, it was amazing,

but I can't believe we wrapped like socially distance. I mean, it sucks. Cause you, so you couldn't hug Peter Herman. I couldn't hug Peter and he would have hugged me. I've hugged him before. I met Mariska at one of our

wrap parties from one season. What? Dead die. Literally we were at, I think it was like, I guess it was the last one we did before this. Right. And we were at the after party

and we saw Peter and she's like, let's go say hi to Peter and we were like walking. Because Peter, we like die for each other. You should see you have to see the getting younger with him. Like we are not in a creepy way, but like obsessed with each other.

No, I love him so much. And he oh right. He was on the toast. I remember. Oh, yeah. It was literally the best day of our lives. Isn't he the greatest human being on the face of the planet? So hot.

So we walk over. And he's on Blue Bloods. He used to be married and the show to Bridget Moynihan. They have a kid together. Okay, so we're walking out on this gorgeous patio. And we see Peter sort of walking towards him. And there's a woman in a leather jacket standing there. Stop.

And all of a sudden you see Peter. And he's like, hi, the Taylors. And we're like, hey. What does he call her? And then honestly, I blacked out. Fuck. Literally, all I remember is he's like, Mariska. Or like, honey, meet the tailors and

she like turned around and it was like Olivia motherfucking Benson she was like dressed like her of course I I like I melted into a puddle on the ground oh that's amazing I did not make a great first impression not because like she was rude or anything just because like I was a total dweeb no by the way you're so right like that's literally the best gig you've ever had ever and ever will and it's over it's done um the other thing I wanted to talk about was Real Housewives of New Jersey so I know you didn't watch it I don't want to spoil anything for you but it was actually a really good episode because they had a party at Michelle's house who I feel like Michelle was meant to be a housewife and then something happened like I don't know but her house is super nice Michelle's the one with the husband that said Joe owed her money yeah and

she's selling Teresa her next house and her and Teresa went house hunting it's actually very exciting for theresa theresa's all about like i want this modern house modern modern modern she literally goes to a house that's so modern it's like a prison cell and then i was googling because i wanted to see triggering for her because oh shit i didn't even realize that then i went to google because i know that it was just in people magazine that she bought a house with her boyfriend. So I'm like, I want to see what house they ended up buying. And it's literally like the most Italian, like old school. Like it's literally her old home times two.

So I'm like, I thought we wanted modern. But so her house is really nice. It was a good party. Like Teresa stormed out to go have sex with her boyfriend. But also because she was just annoyed that everyone was talking about her being in love with her new boyfriend. Why is that annoying? She was having a really extreme reaction to it. I just think she was needing an excuse to go fuck i mean like we're all supportive we're all supportive go go get your job but theresa ever take accountability

for anything for literally anything anything but then the big fight was that like basically david bought dorin uh dolores a porsche so everyone was like he's postponing the ring he's postponed i'm like, these people are so fucking stupid. Dolores has two kids already. She lives with a man. She's set in her life. If you, if you would, if I was Dolores and I had the option to get a new Porsche or engagement ring, Porsche, why does she need to be married again? How was, so how was Dolores' like reaction to it? Was she like, I love this. They didn't even film it, but literally, um, like one of the guys brought it up and it was like, Dolores got a Porsche or Melissa Gorga brought it up.

So they're all talking about it behind her back. She didn't even tell anyone. Melissa is so shady to Dolores and I don't like it. And I see you, Melissa. Melissa and Joe were instigating this whole fight. Like literally Joe was saying such like fucking like nasty things. It was really like 1950s. He was like, you don't have a man.

You want to be married? Like basically like Dolores needs a man to be stable. I saw that he. He was like, you don't have a man. You want to be married? Like basically like Dolores needs a man to be stable. I saw that he said she was like broken, a broken woman. Said that she's a broken woman from Frank Catania

and she's scared. That is so insulting. It was so rude. And then Melissa got involved and they were just both like gaslighting the fuck out of her. Melissa was like,

you know, like we heard he got you a Porsche and we were all talking about it and we all said that it's him postponing getting a ring. And then that really set Dolores off because they were all talking about it she's like you're also fucking fake and phony right I'm happy I'm I'm really am like pleased with my relationship with David like get the fuck out of my business and she stormed Frank we're leaving literally it was iconic I would have done the exact same thing everyone and the only person

who was really defending her was Margaret I love Dolores and I love Margaret. Me too. I kind of friendship. I actually think I've always kind of sided with um Melissa sorry I forgot her name. Me too. Because Teresa is so impossible and like what a nightmare sister-in-law however I just think that they're both pretty much nightmares and I have seen a side to Melissa this season where she's coming for Dolores who is such an angel queen. Agreed. Amazing woman she's like she owns who she is she's like totally filterless She's like, she owns who she is. She's like totally filterless. She's flawed, but she's comfortable in herself. She bleeds out for the show. Like she gets really personal.

She's the best. She's gorgeous. I agree. I have seen a very ugly side of Melissa, especially last night. And she wouldn't drop it at the breast cancer thing. She won't fucking drop it. About the house, the game, moving to the house with the house. It's like, Melissa, shut up.

Also, go mow your lawn. Your husband and you, don't even get me started what's going on that's what delora said like they were just getting on her for not being married and then she turns to joe and she was like why would i want to get married so my husband can yell at me for walking in front of him it was the best comeback of all time and she was 100 right did you learn that in prison that was also a good comeback that was iconic good job jackie jackie was being like kind of lame this episode because like at first i really respected her for standing up to theresa but now that like i they've made up i kind of have this feeling that like all jackie's ever wanted in her entire life is to be friends with theresa with a picture right first it was the

picture at the meet and greet of several years ago and now that she's like friends with theresa she's just like kind of thirsty for theresa's attention i'm like was all of this a ploy to be friends with theresa like it was. That's sad and gross. So I've started to like have less respect for her. Damn. Yeah. It was a good episode.
