Good morning millennials! Welcome back to the morning toast. Happy Tuesday. Hope everyone's having a great day so far. Hey Jax, how you doing? I'm doing good so far. So good having a, you know, everything's falling into place sort of morning. Not behind, not moving forward. Just on time I would say. How are you doing? And on time departure. You know, the temperature here in the studio is really fucking with me because, you know, it's so hot outside and then it's freezing in here. So we were like wearing sweatpants yesterday and today. I cannot stop sweating. I'm literally sitting here with a fan between my legs. I'm not OK. And I just don't appreciate the imbalance, like the climate change in this studio. Yeah, that's wrong.

My studio, not to like rub it in or anything. I'm freezing. I'm wearing a blanket. I have Bryce, like he's my personal heating pad. And we're just so cold and chilly. You're so small and frail and cold. Sorry that you're so warm. I'm not with this handy dandy Amazon fan blowing between my legs betwixt my legs

are you wearing pants no I'm wearing shorts and I'm still sweating like when I tell you how fucking done I am and how ready I am for summer to be over like I cannot cannot stress that enough so over it I can't wait I mean we're slowly getting there we're more than halfway through August August is almost behind us. And that's a cause to celebrate. And I've spent so many weeks this month in Florida that I didn't even have the chance to realize that it's gotten chillier in New York.

Like it's been 75 these last two days. It's been absolutely delightful. All I need is a good 10 degrees. And that is a temperature I could live with forever. Like where is a place where it's always 65 degrees? Besides my bedroom. Year round? I don't think you're going to get year round stability anywhere.

That's where I need to live. That's why we have winter, spring, summer, and fall. All you got to do is call. Wait, by the way, speaking of sad songs, I don't know if you saw my Instagram story. I did. Smelly pillow, my beloved pillow that happens to be smelly, died yesterday. I don't understand why, how.

I've had pillows literally since before I was born that I still use. So the smelly pillow is special because of this hydro gel flex thing. And it's a pillow cover that really makes it special. And I throw the pillow cover in the wash like once a week. And something about this particular load, it just like imploded. The gel was everywhere. Like you're doing it all wrong you're not supposed to put that gel thing in the washer but it's the pillow cover no it's not yeah it is no it's not yes it is okay I'm gonna go look at the one that's in your bedroom yeah keep telling me about my smelly pillow no you ruined your pillow from the jump You didn't know that pillows that you didn't know that

pillows come with pillow covers that you take off and wash. You put your whole pillow in the washing machine. And by the way, my whole pillow in the washing machine, it was totally fine and safe. Then these last couple of times, it became smelly. Oh yeah. Smelly. Yeah. That's not bad. I like the smell. Like that's what the whole point of smelly pillow was. I was enjoying the smell. Okay. But then you told me this magical thing about a pillow cover I took the pillow cover off and now I've just been washing the pillow cover when I wash my sheets and something about the way it tumbled it just didn't make it tumble too hard it went too hard it's it was like Simone Biles it tumbled too hard it did a flip it did a flip it was like Simone Biles. It tumbled too hard. It did a flip.

It did a flip. It was so upsetting. Like and last time was the first night I slept without smelly pillow in a really long time. And I can't lie. Like it was not a good sleep. So you should come back here because I have your dear pillows twin. I know. And I know I could get another one.

It's not like this brand of pillow has been discontinued. It's just not really the same. Even when I was at your house your house like it was great but it wasn't the same yeah i'm sorry that you're going through that sis it's hard you know grief is it comes in waves you know there's anger denial no smelly pillow she can't be gone she can't what's the next one she can't be gone she can't what's the next one bargaining acceptance acceptance acceptance is last you have to bargain i'll give anything for smelly pillow to be back take all my other pillows right i'll literally i'll do anything to get my smelly pillow back to me yeah i'm not at acceptance yet i'm really not um i just keep waiting forelly Pillow to like work its way back up the trash chute and into my heart.

Will someone just send her one, please? The fine people at Purple. Please send her a pillow. No, I can buy my own pillow. It's not even about that. It's about the memories and it's really about the smell. Like I said, I'm sorry that you're going through that.

Rip Smelly Pillow. Rip Smelly Pillow. Ain't that the truth um I spent my evening having another musical interlude not smelly pillow per se but I was watching Elvis music videos because Harry like really loved Elvis when he was watching with us the movie and so I was like let's put on some music videos plus the quality is so shitty that it's not like you're gonna get addicted to the television no it's like you know it's actually not bad for like focusing or anything it's not gonna drive his attention away it's like one camera foggy and just good music so it's actually the perfect thing I think for a youngin to watch so we were watching uh Elvis's tv comeback a bunch of performances. And then I went down a Spotify rabbit hole of

like finding Elvis covers because the Elvis songs are amazing. But like listening to the Elvis version, it's just not all of them are like my particular style. But like when Haley Reinhart covers it all of a sudden, all of a sudden it's my vibe. So I was really finding the most premium Elvis covers on Spotify last night. I posted them to my Instagram story, but the journey's not done. Which is the Elvis version from Crazy Rich Asians Wedding? Can't Help Falling In Love With You. No, who sings it? In what?

In Crazy Rich Asians. Oh, an artist. I think her name is Kia something. Oh, you know, Simon, Huck, and Phil had the girl who sang it at Crazy Rotations at their wedding. Wow. It was iconic. That rendition is amazing. Obviously, Kacey Musgraves' rendition on the album is really good.

It's really a song that you can't fuck up. Even I've been singing it every minute of the day now. Yes, come on. Okay. Wise men say only fools rush in, but I can't help falling in love with you. Brew. Of course. Then, of course, I have to, you know, make it my own. That was gorgeous. Yeah. It's like not a difficult song. It kind of sounds like a lullaby. Brew. Of course. Then, of course, I have to, you know, make it my own.

That was gorgeous. Yeah, it's like not a difficult song. It kind of sounds like a lullaby. Yeah, I was singing it all night last night, and it's really like changed my life. Man, I love that. You know, I love when like an older artist, dead or alive,

does kind of their greatest hits albums redone by other people. Obviously, what comes to mind is Elton John's when, you know, we had so much goodness, especially Miley Cyrus. Then we had Brooks and Dunn doing There's a Neon Moon with Kacey Musgraves, Luke Holmes. I love when like an iconic older artist does those type of like greatest hits albums with younger people.

It's my favorite thing yeah and I think they did a good decent I'm sorry a decent amount of that on the Elvis soundtrack for the album and for the movie they had some cool moments obviously like Hound Dog Doja Cat is insanely sickening and like five stars you know 10 out of 10 yeah you ain't nothing but no wrong um but there could have been more and I found oh my god so I sent it to you and Margo 10 out of 10. Yeah, you ain't nothing but a dog. But there could have been more. And I found, oh my God. So I sent it to you and Margo. I found this cover of the song from that 68 special.

I didn't even know that song. If I can dream it, love it. New favorite song. And it's covered by Shawn Mendes, Post Malone, Darius Rucker, Blake Shelton, and Carrie Underwood. They're all on it together. Like who dreamed this up? And why weren't they on the album for the movie? You know Post Malone's affinity for country music is one of my favorite things and I know you don't have a TikTok

but if you followed him on TikTok he like records these jam sessions and a lot of the music he covers is country. Like he did Brad Paisley and he plays guitar so well and I'm just waiting for the Post Malone country album like I think it could happen oh he should be on crossover CMT crossover is that still a thing I think so I hear about it sometimes I feel like it's like the Comedy Central roast it's like once every few years you never know when it's gonna happen but it's gonna slap yeah one of my favorite rabbit holes to go down on YouTube are CMT crossovers where they have like a pop artist and a country artist. Some of my personal favorites are, of course, Katy Perry and Kacey Musgraves and honorable

mention, Zac Brown band, Shawn Mendes. That one's really good. Yeah. And sorry, like the country songs like always sound better. Yeah, because it's just like about the tune and the voice kind of like can't help falling in love with you. I think that's why it's so beautiful. It sounds even better when I sing it. So as of you know the resident expert on that song which cover is currently your favorite? Probably Hailey Reinhart. Okay can we talk about Hailey Reinhart

for a second? She was on American Idol she literally had the one of the most unique voices I remember watching when we were kids like obsession it's like gorgeous curly blonde hair she was just like the girl of the moment and then like nothing came from her American Idol success I don't even remember if she won or not it doesn't really matter she had one song released afterwards. What was that song called? I used to love it. But what I really used to love was rewatching her Benny and the Jets performance on American Idol.

Yeah, the Benny and the Jets one. She should have been on the ultimate album. Snub after snub for Hailey. No, I know. And she's just one of those really underrated singers. Yeah. I love her. People, so I put a suggestion box on my story.

People were telling me what their favorite Elvis covers are. Apparently there's a cover, The Wonder of You from Big Little Lies by the Villagers or something. I listened to it. And I could see why other people like it, but it's just like not my style. Beyonce has a cover of Fever.

That's really good. And there were a few more, but there really aren't that many and I challenge Hollywood uh and the entertainment industry to make an album of Elvis covers there is an audience for it and you guys especially now yeah of course with this movie like I think so many people I was even like watching Juliet Porter's story and she was like is anyone else obsessed with Elvis now and she was listening to his album and I just feel like the us kids we are there's an appetite yeah somebody needs to work with like Elvis's estate or like like his life rights

whatever it is just to come out with like a premium ass album yeah I love that love that so free idea for the day really quickly I wanted to touch on one thing, an update from yesterday's story when we were talking about Ben and Jen and their wedding. It turns out that Leah Remini was not at the wedding, which if true, which I believe it is, TMZ reported it, is not good. No, but maybe it was just really small. Okay, so the like the comment that TMZ had gotten from Leah Remini's camp was that she had to hang out with her daughter because her daughter is going off to college. Like, I'm sorry, that's not a real reason not to go to your best friend's wedding.

Casey Affleck. Right. I'm shook. I was literally just saying they're one of my favorite female friendships. And honestly, I don't know what I would do. Like that would really be huge. I think that they're fine. I really do. I'm not worried.

I don't think it was like super Hollywood-y. And also I need to update everyone because I guess yesterday I called Jennifer Garner Jessica Garner. Common misconception. Yeah. Her name is Jennifer. Oops. update everyone because I guess yesterday I called Jennifer Garner Jessica Garner common misconception yeah um her name is Jennifer oops my bad my bad that one's on me oh personal update I am like under 5,000 followers away from 200,000 followers on TikTok which if you know how desperate I am um that's huge for me so if everyone everyone could just take a moment, if your name is Jessica or Jennifer or Kate or any kind of version of Kate, Catherine, Kathleen, follow me on TikTok, please.

And maybe you want to follow me on TikTok at Jackie O because you never know when she's coming back. Yeah, for sure. But you can't even get into your account. So like, I don't want to waste people's energy. When I do, you don't want to miss what I've got brewing. Do you know what like your debut content is going to be? Not at all.

We'll have to come up with something good. Yeah. Maybe it'll be this clip from the podcast. Oh my God. I could start posting the podcast clips to mine. Or you could just start posting like your own. No, no. But they're just as much mine as they are yours.

No, for sure. Like we can make more so that we're not like posting triple content,. No, no, but they're just as much mine as they are yours. No, for sure. Like we can make more so that we're not like posting triple content, you know? Yeah, we can make more. Wouldn't you guys like that? More. More. I don't know.

I'll have to talk to AC and see what she wants. The account is hers. A hundred. You should get your account changed to at American Camper. I know. Well, the bio is counselor snitch fan account and that's never going to change. Also, we have a TV recap today because Jackie and I both watched the first episode of House of Dragons, which is the Game of Thrones prequel that premiered on HBO to a whopping 10 million viewers. Yeah. We're going to talk about the

reviews and then we're going to review it ourselves. That's in the fifth. Oh, I didn't know what the reviews were saying. No, not necessarily reviews, but just some stats. Statistics. It's the fifth and final into the TV recap segment, which we haven't done in so long. So and I'm bringing back full force this week. I can't wait for Beverly Hills. I'm gonna give you a recap like you never fucking seen before. Wow. I can't wait. But I think without further ado, we should jump right in to the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast. And today's episode is brought to you by Clinique. Meet Clinique's first foundation

designed to be the last step in your skincare routine. The even better clinical serum foundation is formulated with three serum technologies that visibly reduce dark spots, brighten and hydrate skin. So I love a good foundation much as an ex-girl, and I'm really particular about foundation, and I've been speaking a lot about how much I like the Clinique one. And what I really like about it, obviously, is the way it looks and feels, but the fact that it's built with skincare inside of it

so you know that it's not going to be clogging your pores or making any breakouts you have worse. It's working for you while making you look beautiful, stunning, and smart. And I think that that's just fabulous. And in as little as eight weeks, your skin can appear even more toned, radiant, and smoother, even after your makeup is removed. It's not really a foundation. It doesn't do it justice because it's a clinical foundation. It has three serums inside of it. And you can complete your regimen by visibly correcting, hydrating, and smoothing the look of skin after every wear.

Their bottles are recyclable, so you can remove the cap and the pump and then rinse the bottle, which is glass, and then place it in a recycling bin. They promise a 24-hour color true wear. It's oil-free, waterproof, sweatproof, and humidity resistant. It doesn't cake. It doesn't crease. It's a fabulous foundation.

Love it. Okay, our first story, some podcast news. Meghan Markle's first podcast has premiered on Spotify. Meghan Markle has a new podcast as part of their, you know, deal from three years ago. A hundred years ago. Where they only put out one episode. But now her first show is here. It's called Archetypes. And she is deconstructing

the history of societal stereotypes about women in her first show for Spotify, which premiered today. The first episode of Archetypes features Serena Williams, who recently announced her plans to retire from pro tennis. That's a good get. That's a good get. She's talking with Megan about the double standard women face when they are labeled ambitious. And Dr. Laura Cray, a professor at UC Berkeley and an expert on gender in the workplace. Next week's episode will feature a conversation with Mariah Carey. So this week's episode is all about, you know, the word ambition and how for women it's like the worst thing to be called. And she learned that, you know, when she met and

married her husband and everyone was criticizing her quote unquote ambition got it got it okay um so it is a podcast hosted by her yes okay because that was confusing also I feel like there was a lot of like hoopla around them having a podcast when it was announced and now it's been three whole years to get one episode out and I can't like I do imagine that some of the fanfare has passed yeah also I mean they signed their deal back in 2020 then they released one holiday episode and then there was nothing and it wasn't until like the New York Post kind of like exposed them because there was a what was it a job description for like someone to like do the show and it's like where is there are no episodes. There is no show. And I guess that must've like lit a fire

under someone's butt to be like, this is embarrassing. And what did we pay them millions of dollars for? If they're not- For one episode. It was so weird. And you know what? When it comes to this episode, you guys know how I feel about Serena Williams

would take a bullet. And I'm, I believe in the message. I just don't know and by the way this is a personal choice like choice like if I'm going to a podcast like it's not for gender studies but some other people might like want to get their you know empowerment from podcasts but for me like I'm looking at podcasts for entertainment for pop culture for comedy um so like this is not my particular genre but I do imagine there are people who enjoy this but that's just to say even though I love Serena Williams like I will not be listening to this yeah no honestly like it sounds kind of

miserable you know it just sounds like so serious and like and like I get that's what some people like listen to podcasts for but not me yeah the first episode is called the misconception of ambition I just I'm really trying like hard not to be negative I'm sorry but like when you're Meghan Markle and like you have like all the contacts all the access and like you're making us listen to a professor from UC Berkeley about like miserable no like one thing about me and this is absolutely no hate to the academic community but like if there is a doctor or a professor on a podcast like I will be skipping it yeah like I don't want to hear from a psychologist it's Dr. Phil or Dr. Oz? A hundred percent. Unless you're a TV Dr. Drew.

What's the one from 600 Pound Life? Oh, Dr. Nazardan. I mean, I would listen to a 24 hour live stream of Dr. Nazardan. Say maybe she could get him on next. So yes, you're right. Unless you're a doctor who's appeared on TV multiple times, then I'm not interested. But like, I'm just not into like psychologists or professors or you know PhDs like that's but that's my opinion yeah you might like this episode I'm just saying that's

not what I particularly search for in podcasts or like there are categories of like education where like people you know talk to exclusively doctors psychologists or doctor psychologists have podcasts and like huge audiences I love that for them but like when it's like something in the pop culturey realm like this is a celebrity podcast we're having Serena Williams and you know what it's like a Spotify original with like premium guests it sounds like she's gonna be competing with Alex Cooper for guests totally like Alex Cooper just had Demi Lovato like they're're on the same level. And the week before, I think she had a doctor. I rest my case.

Yeah, no. So it's just like Spotify churning out like the same content, like interview shows hosted by women. About women. Right. And about womanhood. About, yeah, female tings. Femininity.

And about the misconception of ambition. And this is just kind of like low key, like unoriginal. I'm trying so hard not to be a hater, but I support podcasting in all forms. And I welcome, I really do. I welcome someone as famous, as elite, as royal as Meghan Markle to our trenches, you know, of female podcasters. But I just like low key expected more after three years.

Like we're just, oh, so it's just an interview show like everyone else. Like it's Armchair Expert. It's Call Her Daddy. It's like a like a regular podcast yeah I will say the artwork is stunning oh stunning gorgeous glamorous black and white stripped down photo of Megan oh and by the way that font that she's using is Daily Mail I'm sorry this is the Daily Mail article oh I thought that it was like a take I thought it was a take on tabloid culture. No, that would be cool. But no, this is the font.

It's very Times New Roman. Archetypes, yeah. I love the branding. I love the branding, and I like the beat. I like the beat, and I welcome, I really do, I welcome another female podcaster who overall, rising tides raise all ships. I'm just looking at this through a critical lens,

and I'm like oh after three years of like so much hoopla that's that's it yeah i agree and it's like one of those podcasts has like a million producers you know it's so like it pockets a conversation sit down and chat yeah what what the fuck is up with bruno why is he barking on our podcast because he wants his own podcast now. He's been waiting. He keeps coming to me. He's like, mom, please, I'm ready.

Rue types. And I'm like, Bru, you're too young. It's too much pressure. Like, just enjoy life in your childhood. And he hears us, like, talking about how we support other podcasters. And he's like, what about me? I'm like, shut up. Do we have any details of their Spotify deal?

And is it them or just Megan? I thought it was them. And this is just like my memory but could be totally wrong I was thinking 20 million for how many episodes I have no idea let me google that Harry Megan and where's his podcast so are they doing separate shows or maybe like next week it's like a Harry hosted episode with like him and Oprah? $25 million. For what? Like 10 years?

There was a time where they were just like snatching up those deals. Netflix, Spotify, Disney Plus. Yeah. I don't know how long that was for. It's not really here. I don't know how long that was for. It's not really here. I would be so shook if it's 25 million for just like one season of this podcast for Megan. Because we don't really know, you know, are people going to, I mean, they are going to listen because people like Megan is that famous.

And it seems like her tier of guests is going to be beyond elite. Yeah. Maybe you won't tune into every episode, but you'll tune in for the guests that you like. I think that's how a lot of people look at podcasts yeah also like I think she is you know opening up I there was a headline like she I hadn't listened I haven't listened to her episode yet so also I I do you know take it whatever I'm saying with a grain of salt if I'm being critical or praising and I haven't listened but she did like share a anecdote about a trip that they went on like I think it was a royal trip they were in South Africa and the heater in uh Archie's nursery caught on fire I don't think he was in the

nursery but then they had to like go out and do um press and I think it was just she was sharing so I think people might tune in if she's really sharing yeah well if she's gonna spill the tea then that's a podcast that is a podcast that's a podcast like interviewing your famous friends like honestly that's not gonna cut it no with like questions that are you know looked over by five different people and you know no just yeah just like kind of regurgitating like common like we all know women are treated differently like if you're not saying anything different like talking about it isn't going to change it, but we're,

we know already and nobody knows better than Serena Williams. Yeah. Yeah. So if she's not adding anything new to like conversations, we already know like, Oh, what's next? Uh,

the ocean is filled with plastic. Like we know, like we got to lean on podcasts to tell you something new or original or yeah oh yeah that's what the space has become you know i guess you could do whatever you want on this here mic sure but that's what the people like if you know new thoughts and feelings yeah thoughts and tings that's a new podcast we should have on tnf she should recap real housewives like do something crazy yeah or like give us an insight like what is it like like you got what you wanted like you guys got out do you feel free what do you do on the weekends like give me something yeah who are you friends with like you went to dinner with jayden foster what was that like

maybe he'll be on the pod right would love love it in depth it will be really interesting to see which of her famous friends come on because I do feel like some of the people that she was friends with she's not friends with anymore some of the people you think she would be friends with now that she's out she's not friends with so I want to know who her friends are let's guess okay I feel like she'll have Priyanka Chopra on. Well, they were such good friends, but for some reason, I thought they weren't friends anymore. I don't know why. I feel like there was something

that one of them should have been at that they weren't at. Maybe it was Megan was, obviously Megan wasn't at her wedding. Right. But she was at Megan's. Yeah. So we'll see.

So we'll see. What is her vibe with the Kardashians I was gonna say like you would think she could be friends with Kim but Chris Chris I could see if she wanted to have like a mogul on I think that would be an interesting episode everyone's always like let's get Khloe and Kim on the podcast and that's all great what about Chris yeah yeah these that's an episode we could learn something these are some good ideas and by the way I can be bought like if you want some of my ideas Spotify hit me up yeah okay we'll keep you posted anyways but exciting podcasting needs to stop off the day and I always love that rising tides raise all

ships and it's not fair to really have like uh we can't have any judgments until we see what she does and we listen to an episode but just like the vibe that was described to me just seemed kind of like meh yeah I'm gonna try and listen today if I can make any time for that yeah I'll listen but I'm not gonna listen to the doctor part I'm sorry like I have to set some boundaries for myself I'll listen to Serena Williams but and that's not to say I don't respect doctors or professors yeah I don't think I said but I don't I don't think I said she was a doctor oh I couldn't remember so I just kept saying both no she's a doctor sorry sorry okay okay well you could be a doctor and a professor

love that for her are you ready for our next story yes it's the name on everybody's lips the brand new Real Housewives of New York star has been revealed. One of the new members of the cast of the revamped Rahoni, so this is not Legacy, this is with the new girls, is Texan fashion influencer Lizzie Sivetsky, page six has learned. The Fort Worth, Texas native has some 200,000 followers on Instagram where she posts frequently about accessories and her Jewish faith. She's also a mother of three and married to plastic surgeon Dr. Iris Sivetsky. The social media star recently spoke publicly about her struggle with alcohol,

which of course has been something of a recurring theme on the show in the case of various other cast members. So Lizzie Sivetsky, she actually was, she used to live in Dallas. She was supposed to be on the new season of Real Housewives of Dallas, but then that got canned. Her and her family recently moved to New York, and from what we understand, they are kind of centering the new season

of Young Roni around her. And what I've heard that I think is really cool is like she's super, by the way, and I just love that the show is being centered around someone Jewish. Like it's New York. Like can we have one thing? And what I've heard from pretty like legit sources is that she is

totally like staying totally observant she observes Shabbat which means she doesn't drive or work or use her phone or anything um they're working around like the holidays and Shabbat for her like when they go on cast trips like they're not going to make her drive or like with the microphone they're going to use a boom like they're working around her observant tease and I think that's cool that is really cool I think you told me that but it's just really now registering especially with like cast trips and not using a microphone right that's pretty cool uh I she must have like tested really well when they filmed her in Dallas and then when they heard she was moving to New York and they're also looking for a young cast they're looking for a cast with a social

media following it's and she has like a whole York and they're also looking for a young cast. They're looking for a cast with a social media following. It's and she has like a whole family and her husband, you know, they're very, they're always posting content together. We both follow her and her contents, Fire Flames, her outfits are so cute. I think she's going to make a really good housewife. And she is a housewife. She is a mom. She's an influencer and she's like, she's all the things that they said that they wanted. And now it's happening.

There are some other names that were swirling about who might also. There was one other girl in this page six article. She's an executive at Vera Wang named Priya Shukla. She's in the mix for a role on the show, but she hasn't signed on as a full-time member of the cast yet. If they have started filming, it must have been so recently because I think Lizzie moved to New York two weeks ago. Right.

Well, that's kind of been the only thing that like housewives fans are like upset about they're like well she's not even from New York who cares I hate when people are like you're a transplant like but is Lizzie from Texas no no she she moved to Texas during the pandemic I was following her so I don't know where she lived before that I think she lived in New York okay I do believe she lived in New York okay I do believe she lived in New York so but I'm just saying like gatekeeping how many years someone lives in New York like that's extremely elitist like oh yeah but also that's when people do that it's so on New York New York is a melting pot right the first like historically it's been the first place where

everyone from the world comes if they're coming to the country like that's New York it's everyone no like this New York transplant thing like it's they literally sound like they build a wall like calm down like it's like people from New York are so fucking annoying about that like well you lived in London for one year you're not a New Yorker yeah shut up literally shut the fuck up and it also goes the other way for people who like try and gate keep New York but it's like you're from upstate Luann Sonia you know like these people aren't even from New York and they act like anyone who isn't from New York is no one's from New York technically you know what I mean everyone we're all from our mother's wombs that's's true. I just, I hate that shit. Like, that's become, like, such a thing.

Like, you're not a New Yorker, F. No, like, if I live, you live here or you're a New Yorker. Like, I hate people that gatekeep calling themselves a New Yorker. Like, you can only call yourself a New Yorker if you do this. Shut up. You know what else I also hate? I hate when, like, people move out of New York and, like, are like well I'm a New Yorker I'm like I agree I think like still I can say I'm I am a New Yorker but I that will expire and I need to

figure out when that is I completely agree because like if you're moving like you are where you live so sorry if you live in Texas you're aan. I don't care if you were born in Lenox Hill Hospital. You're not a New Yorker. Like you are where you live. I agree. People like take that as a personality trait wherever they move. Yeah. And once you're gone, like you're gone. It's so Gina Kirshenheider. It's the New Yorker in me. I know. Don't ever let me be that person. Never. But I am such a. You're're really not and like you're like your time is almost up like dead ass no but i can but i guess like the way that i talk i'm very new york my attitude is very new york no time no patience no fucks no fucking fucks no fucking fucks but is that even

new yorkers these days anymore no they're all just like miserable creeds. Blase, like. Like. Yeah, I don't know what like the current contemporary vibe of a New Yorker is. I think it's going through change. And weirdly, I think these new Real Housewives shows will probably influence how the world sees New Yorkers. Well, this is what's interesting. I feel like for a long time, people have been saying like

Housewives like needs like a facelift like they need to skew younger they need to like have you know more Instagrammy people and this is exactly what it is so we'll see if it works I'm really excited so far so good like I have full hope yeah I think it's a good call and you're right if she was able to be casted on both franchises like she obviously has something you know she's I mean I've actually met her sorry she's like so nice so pretty so hilarious very outgoing she'll make a great housewife and I do think the alcohol thing is interesting I don't know if that's the best environment for someone who's like struggling with alcohol currently but it will make for interesting conversations on the show I saw she posted about it on her Instagram recently I think think she's sober, been sober for a number of years, like very strong in her sobriety. Oh, OK. Yeah.

OK. Our next story, some more Bravo news. NeNe Leakes has dropped her discrimination lawsuit against Bravo and Andy Cohen. NeNe Leakes has dropped her discrimination lawsuit against Andy Cohen, Bravo, the network's parent company, NBC Universal, and the production company, True Entertainment, for now at least. According to court documents obtained by Page Six, the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum filed on Friday to dismiss the case without prejudice, meaning she has the ability to reopen it at a later time.

Reps for Nene declined Page Six's request for comment on her future strategy. In the meantime, the parties involved in the case agreed to not seek recovery of costs or attorney's fees per the documents. The case's conclusion comes two months after Page Six reported in June that Nene had been in negotiations with Bravo, Andy, and NBCUniversal to possibly settle their case outside of court. Well, if you're dropping your lawsuit, I guess that means it's not going well, right? Like, she wasn't going to win. Yeah, Or could they now still settle outside of court? I don't know.

This was like such a sad way for like the end of Nene's time on Housewives because she really was like a founding father of Housewives culture. And to be honest, I really have not kept up with this at all. I just, I do follow Nini on Twitter. So it's pretty much all she talks about on Twitter. So that's how I knew it was still going on.

Um, and I'm really curious what Andy's take on this is. Cause I honestly don't believe Andy is, I think he's far from innocent. Like in general, like I don't, I don't think the Andy we see is like the Andy who he actually is. And I'm sure there's lots of nefarious business that goes on behind the scenes. But I do know that like him and Nini like really loved each other and like really respected each other. And so much of her lawsuit is about Andy.

Yeah. And so that's sad to see the dissolution of a friendship. Very sad. I wonder if he'll comment on it or speak. I guess now that it's dropped, why would he do that? If he hasn't said anything thus far. And like it was a big story when it was like it was like filed and then like there was no follow-ups like it's been a really long time so things just like fizzled out so Andy if he hasn't said anything probably won't yeah and

I guess I mean I feel like there was always you know and throughout the years like it would spin a you know a revolving door of whether Nini is on this show or that show or her own show or she could come back. And I guess once you, like, sue everyone involved, there's no coming back. It's done. It's done. And that sucks. Yeah.

Because one thing about Nene, even though in her final season, it's like, my God, did she piss me off? Like, she, I'm sorry, like, she was that bitch. She is an icon. She, nobody is funnier. Nobody makes better TV. No. She did lose her mind a little bit towards the end.

I think she had way too much pride that like conflicted with her being a good housewife. Yeah. But she will be missed. And I wonder what happened. Yeah. I'm like kind of like nosy. Of course.

Just curious. Yeah. Our next like kind of like nosy. Of course. Just curious. Yeah. Our next story is a TikTok video that has... Is brought to you by Peak. Is that it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you know that moisturizers don't actually hydrate your skin? They just seal the outer layer of your skin to prevent your internal moisture from leaking out.

So if you don't already have enough hydration inside of you, topical creams are not going to help you that much. But that's why Peaks BT Foundation is the first skincare that you can drink. It enhances and boosts internal moisture production and preservation for results in less than 30 days. So we've been drinking the Peaks Beauty Electrolyte for almost a week. And I have to say the concept of like starting with skincare from the inside makes so much sense because if you're not drinking enough water and you're not like, you know, fueling your body with good things, like it'll show on the outside. And I love this concept of like makeup for your insides.

I think it's a great place to get started if you're having trouble with your skin. I definitely felt a huge boost in hydration, like a deeper hydration, not just like a hydration that sits on the surface. I felt like there was more of a glow to my skin. People have been commenting on it. And more like full, like plump, like less raisin vibes, you know? So the ceramides visibly reduce fine lines and increase your skin elasticity. The hyaluronic acid increases skin moisture content.

And the electrolytes provide deep cellular hydration.

Thank you so much for that. It's pleasure doing business with you. You're so, so, so. Our next story is a TikTok video that is exposing how grocery stores manipulate you into spending more money using psychological tricks. And this is I found this to be so interesting.

So it's a TikTok user who is showing you how every part of the grocery store is designed to make you spend more money, starting with what you see first, the way that you go around the store. So first you see flowers to put you in a good mood. Then you see the healthy foods, which make customers splurge on less healthy and more expensive items later. Think about how you go through a grocery store.

You always walk in, you see the flowers, and then you go towards the produce, right? They also increase their cart size to make you think you can add more items to your cart. They play like music to put you in a good mood and keep you shopping longer. They have prepared foods at the end as a reward. They use scent marketing like for the pies in the bakery to lure you in. And this one TikTok user, the recount is exposing all the different ways and not to fall for it. Next time I go to a grocery store, it's also like the way that they do the aisles.

Also the way on the shelves, like whatever's at eye level is the most expensive and whatever's higher or lower are the products that are cheaper because they want you to just like grab the more expensive one. How every single element of a grocery store is just like a psychological trick. So I've heard about this trickery done in casinos. You know, there's no windows, so you don't really know how much time has passed. They pump extra oxygen in the air to keep you awake longer. There's so many different things.

There's no clocks anywhere. Good luck finding out what time it is. And all those things make sense to me. I know there's a lot of things at Costco that are psychological warfare as well. You know, their rotisserie chicken is one of their best sellers. And it's a product that loses money consistently for Costco. But they place it all the way in the back after this maze so that you have to walk through their entire store, pick up a couple things in order to get that rotisserie chicken that they're losing money on,

but they're making money on everything you purchased in route to the rotisserie chicken however uh the person I think who made this TikTok is like being like this is a little bit of a stretch they put flowers at the front to make you smell good like this is a little stupid it makes so much sense every grocery store has the same thing also the way that you walk around the store it's counterclockwise something about that like is designed to make you spend more money if you're moving in the same direction that you drive in but also think about it why is every single grocery store chain like they all do these practices never what you said about the most expensive items being eye level like that makes sense yeah they also she said prepared foods at the end for a little treat that is dumb that's just what i disagree no i think like this person

on tiktok tried to make like you know make us think and some of the shit they said is dumb next time i go to the grocery store i'm going clockwise oh you'll show up and let's see if i am more economical it's so true because you you you walk past the produce first and like you just kind of like ignore everything but then you're halfway through the store and you're like fuck I didn't get enough so then you start putting in like all these unhealthy things I guess that's really not how I grocery shop but maybe I'm just immune to psychological warfare like I have a list and what I need I get yeah like I don't go grocery shopping for leisure like I'm in and out I gotta I gotta

feed my family you don't because it's not you know a production in the city but yeah for the rest of the world myself included now that I'm uh not a New Yorker it is and they're using psychological warfare so just keep this in mind I mean for the most a lot of the time I'm just like okay good for you you figured it out this is your business and you're you know making business um but I'm just gonna keep these things in mind from now on what do you think about casinos like do you think that's taking advantage of people no no and especially because the things that they do in casinos to make you like stay longer not realize how much time has passed I actually like like if I was in a casino that

was like broad daylight yeah no it's like they're giving you free drinks and there's no clocks like okay right right like oh no you're taking my clocks away but I'm getting a free tequila soda I'll live yeah yeah I mean it's obviously everything like most things there's a scale you know for me I'm just in and out I don't even enjoy gambling and I think the free drinks that they give you are nasty disgusting uh so I mean I'm not gonna want to stick around for that long clocks are no clocks windows are no windows but other people have different predilections but you know what I think is interesting is like the psychological warfare behind Costco. Like there's so, I actually follow a guy or maybe not follow,

but he comes up all the time for me. He delves into like how Costco stays afloat when they've been selling, you know, their bestseller is their hot dog and it's never not been 99 cents and they, it never won't, won't be 99 cents. Yeah. But But it's like that's, and so how could a company whose bestseller is losing their money, how can that make any sense? And I don't think they really ever change the price of their food products, not like on shelves,

but at the little restaurant. And that's because that's what keeps people coming in. That's what keeps people paying the $90 a year, whatever it is, for their membership. So even though they're losing money on that,

overall, it's bringing people in the store, using a membership, and then also getting them to just peruse the other aisles, buying stuff that they probably don't need that makes money for Costco. Damn, son. Makes you think you need a doctorate for these grocery stores. Hut to navigate these waters.

We need a grocery store doctor. Like, psychological doctor. Doctor of science., psychology on the show to explain these tactics and how we can combat them in our everyday lives. And how to spot them. That's the hard part. You don't even know you're being warfared. And which chains are the most nefarious and which just are putting out the food. Yeah.

Like just doing what we asked. Yeah. Makes you think. And yeah, no, because it also makes you think a lot of people order their groceries online now through various services and you're becoming immune to the warfare.

Right, but they can put that warfare in the app. Putting the, you know, the certain products first. Oh, and they definitely do. And then you search something and you can't find it, but like you know that store carries it. It's like they don't want you to buy it.

Warfare. Warfare. Now it's time for our fifth and final story that will lead into our tv recap wait where's my story i sent you a story oh my god you did i forgot and we're talking about this dumb fucking grocery bullshit oh my god you did i forgot pull it up i totally forgot i requested a story late last night oh my god i've been waiting. Like, oh my God, it's my next. Yay, it's my next.

Gwyneth Paltrow will make a guest appearance on Shark Tank alongside DoorDash CEO, Tony Zhu. Gwyneth Paltrow is set to make her first time appearance on Shark Tank as a guest in season 14. The DoorDash CEO will also make his first appearance this season. The actress founded the lifestyle brand known as Goop. She became CEO of the company in 2016 alongside its book imprints, skincare and fragrances, lines and live events. Goops has two Netflix shows and now she will join the longtime Sharks in search of their next big thing. Shark Tank season 14 premieres on friday september 23rd i just love this first of all i

love the guest shark industry you know like who they choose i find so interesting especially when it's like celebrities and honestly they kind of like dropped the ball since bethany and to be honest there was like so much hoopla for bethany and i didn't think she was like that great i thought she was like kind of like a bully like yeah she's also she's not an ensemble kind of gal she's a one-woman show and so like yeah it was just she didn't blend she didn't mesh into the cast it was like the sharks and the Bethany show yeah no you're so right that's exactly what it was um and honestly I felt as though she was out of her depth honestly yeah. Yeah, me too. And it's like the products had to be so tailored for like the skinny girl brand.

And it was just, she's not, uh, as far as we know, like a very versatile investor. She has a very specific niche and, you know, not everyone wants a little on the go wax kit for your mustache. A hundred percent. Um, however, I think Gwyneth Paltrow is an amazing choice. One, because like Gwyneth is just like that bitch. Like wherever she goes, she fits in, you know? Yes.

Whether she's singing on Glee or being the mom and politician, like she's a chameleon. She can really like be the best, funniest version of herself for the environment that she's in. Yes. And I also think her area of expertise,

which is wellness is such a huge category that they brought that so many different companies can come in. They can pick from a lot of different companies to tailor to her episode. And I also just, especially with her show, I never even really watched it, but it's just seen clips and episodes. Like she's so open-minded. So I feel like there's nothing that she won't hear. She's so like inclusive and just like wants to learn. And I feel like she could, I could see her sitting for a pitch about anything and being really into it, genuinely into it.

And I love like, just like on Songland, Shark Tank, like you really get a sense of the person's acumen when it comes to whatever their field is. So we get to see like who's actually a good songwriter and perform on song land totally we get to see who's actually a sound business mind on shark tank and I think Gwyneth is that mind and I look forward to being proven correct yeah I think people are going to be really surprised by what they see like I think she's I mean Goop is worth a over a billion dollars people mocked her endlessly for it over the years.

She persevered. It's now like the wellness company. She's just everything of the sort. And I think like whatever your conception of Gwyneth Paltrow is, like this will change it. Like I think you're going to leave the episode having like an enormous amount of respect for her brain. I think you're going to have like an enormous amount of respect for the her brain I think you're gonna have like an enormous amount of respect for

the company that she's built and then personal personality wise like she's so funny she's so beautiful like I think everywhere she goes people are just like enamored with her glow. She's just magnetic yeah. Magnetic yes. Yeah I'm really excited and also I do feel like I am such a big Shark Tank fan but I haven't watched in years me neither I don't know why I feel like the ball has been dropped a little bit some of their guest sharks haven't done it for me or just you know the marketing I think I even record every episode it never even occurred to me to watch over the last two years like now I'm back in the game no I completely agree back in the tank we were we were talking about Shark Tank on the show like

every single day two years ago and I think like their COVID episodes and they were all like spread out it was just like every business was like is this sanitary dessert for your phone like it was like a lot of COVID and I think people don't want to turn on TV and be reminded of the worst time of their fucking life and every business is like okay but it's a product how is this a business? Right, yes. Yeah. Yes. So I love this selection.

I cannot wait to see what Gwyneth does, and I will be tuning in. Same, same, same. Now, are you ready for our fifth and final story that we'll leave into our TV recap? I am, I'm really excited. House of the Dragon series premiere crashes the HBO Max application on Amazon devices. 10 million viewers tuned in to the House of Dragon premiere on Sunday night,

and a ton of Amazon devices went down and crashed the HBO Max site due to the popularity and all the fanfare for the new show. So I saw this morning that over 10 million people tuned in. And you know what? Like I wasn't even really like looking. This wasn't on my radar at all. And I wasn't like waiting for the drop. And then it came out.

I was like, oh, I love to do the recaps on the toast. Let me watch it. Me and Ben watched it last night. And it brought me right back to that moment. Like watching a show where I'm incredibly confused. Everything is really dark. I have to turn my lights off. That energy just brought me back to such a great fun time in my life yeah and I loved it no I loved it I like you like when I knew that there was a prequel

coming out I just assumed like it would never be here and now that it's here I'm like oh I should watch it was such a great time to like be a part of something and obviously 10 million other people felt the same thing and as I was watching the first episode yes I was really confused in some of the like small council scenes and like what are they talking about but then you have to remember how confused you were season one episode one of Game of Thrones and like it doesn't matter that you were confused you'll figure it out along the way so I was just along for the ride I thought the show was so good it's like doing no disgrace to the legacy of Game of Thrones. Like it's, it's, it's just what we need, honestly.

Well, let's recap the episode because I have a lot of questions for you because you're like the resident Game of Thrones encyclopedia. And like when I don't understand something, like I need you to explain it to me. Hi. And it is brought to you by Air Doctor. Okay.

So my Air Doctor is sitting right over there. When I was staying at your house, I had one in my bedroom, which I really appreciated because Air Doctor is it. So clean air, breathing in clean air, it is the fastest and easiest way to have a positive impact on your health. And it's so important to improve the quality of your indoor air with a high quality air purifier. And then all you have to do is breathe.

So whether you have allergies or asthma, there are certain things you can do to ensure that your indoor air quality is getting better and that it's healthy for you. That's why you've got to check out Air Doctor. You are breathing over 20,000 times a day and the Air Doctor is going to fill out any dangerous contaminants and allergens so that your lungs don't have to do that. They use an ultra HEPA filter that's been independently tested to remove 99.9% of tested bacteria and viruses. So allergens can vary in size, but the average pollen size is about 25 microns.

And the Air Doctor captures particles as small as 0.003 microns in that size, which is 100 times smaller than even the HEPA standard. So what I really like about Air Doctor is obviously all the fancy things it does to get the toxins, the allergens, the bacteria out of your air, and you'll feel a visible difference in how you're breathing. But also there are some purifiers that are just fucking ugly.

Like really butt ugly. And like who wants that in their house? I'm looking at it right now. Air Doctor's sleek. Sometimes I forget it's here. It's quiet. It doesn't make itself known. It blends in.

I have it in white. It's just like, it's really truly stunning. And it's aesthetically pleasing, which is nice because if you're trying to cultivate a nice vibe in your bedroom, you don't want like a big ugly thing. The classic Air Doctor 3000 Purifier, which is what we have, is powerful enough to circulate the air in a 630 plus square foot room four times an hour. So within a few days of getting the Air Doctor, you will notice a huge difference. For me, I noticed a difference in congestion. For Ben, I noticed a huge decrease in his coughing and throat clearing and his itchy nose. And if these are things you struggle with, especially seasonally,

I would recommend checking out Air Doctor. They come with a no questions asked 30-day money back guarantee. So if you don't love it, just send it back for a refund minus the shipping. Head to airdoctorpro.com and use the promo code TOAST and depending on the model, you'll receive up to 30% off, 35% off, excuse me. So that's up to 35% off, but only if you go to A-I-R-D-O-C-T-R-O-R-P-R-O.com.

Use promo code TOAST at airdoctorpro.com, promo code TOAST. All right, so here was my first initial question for the Game of Thrones House of Dragons recap. I just felt like I wasn't sure who we were supposed to like and like be rooting for. And I will refer to everyone as how they are related to the king because I don't remember any names, but I think his name is Damon, the brother. Yeah.

Are we supposed to be rooting for him? Because like I kind of was, but he was also giving like villainous vibes yeah i think it's meant to be a little ambiguous but no i i feel like he is one of those mad targaryens with an evil streak because that roundup of the king's guard like that wasn't quite just but but it was like thieves and rapists was it though did they have a trial or was he going through the town just calling people thieves, rapists, and murderers? Oh, that's a good question. Never occurred to me. Yeah.

Okay. My other question was like, did you get any sexy vibes between new heir and her uncle Damon? Yes. And it would behoove everyone if they got together and produced an heir who would sit on the throne. And, you know, they do love a little uncle, niece, 11. They do. And like, not to be disgusting, but like I ship. I was like, yes.

I do not ship. I think he's disgusting. Oh, I think he's kind of hot. And I was like into his vibe. But I like knew that that was wrong. Do you know what I mean yeah maybe I think a lot of only when his hair was flat ironed by the way like when he had curly hair I was like ew I think at the funeral his hair was like slick looked like he had a keratin treatment I was like

yes no he was a little too evil for my liking and like in with all the girls and the air for a day it was just twisted okay air for a day, it was just twisted. Okay. Air for a day was fucked up, but he wasn't wrong. What he said to the King, he's like, you're weak. Like everyone in there just wants something from you.

You're the hand of your, your King. It's like sending his daughter into fuck you a minute after your wife dies. The guy at the end of the table just wants his wife to be queen. Like everybody wants something from you. You're too dumb to see it. Yes. And no, like they all want a little something from him,

but like no one really, there is like evil I think. I think him sending his daughter in. Everyone's trying to further themselves but I think that Damon like is the only one who if he actually had any power would really make the lives of the people miserable. I'm not I'm holding judgment I I'm into Damon. I think there's a little charisma there. Also, obviously, that girly daughter of the king, who's best friends with this, the heir, went in, fucked him. She's pregnant.

And now it's like, well, he named the successor, but he has an heir on the way. Oh, you think they already fucked? 100%. I think they were just laying the groundwork. OK, well, either way, that's going to happen. Yeah, for sure. Okay, the scene, you know, where they cut the baby.

Yeah. That was really, like, extremely difficult to watch. And, like, I really felt like we didn't need to see it. Yeah, so a lot of people, a few people, like, told me trigger warning for that scene, like, for mamas. And then I saw, like, a post a post article like there's a scene so then I figured like when you know it's time for the birth something bad is gonna happen I kind of closed my eyes so I didn't really see anything like too gory but I understood what was happening you know he murdered his wife uh very and like does that make him evil like I didn't know but then it was like they wouldn't be in this position if it wasn't

for him being obsessed with having a son and like not even thinking once like oh maybe my lovely daughter who loves combat and is actually really smart like maybe she would make a good king so like they were only in that position because he was fucking annoying but like if it was a normal situation like I guess that was common back then like you sacrifice one for the other yeah but then the baby didn't even make it oh that was terrible the little baby in the funeral terrible but it's also so crazy I think about this all the time how like modern medicine you know what she was having was a c-section which is performed all the time now babies are in breach all the time and like how we've changed much has changed and like it's really amazing no and I'm eternally grateful to Hashem my lord

that I was born a woman in the age of epidural like I cannot imagine giving birth in some forlorn castle and that's best case scenario you know in a castle scenario uh with like people holding my legs wide open and a grand maester between my pussy. Like absolutely not. Claude, you would get some milk of the poppy. Oh yeah, but not enough to hurt the baby. Like, oh, and what is that disgusting lesion on the king's back? And what's this disease where the iron is against his skin? Like he's bleeding every time he sits on the throne? I don't, he's bleeding every time he sits on the throne?

Well, he got the lesion from sitting on the throne well he got the lesion from sitting on the throne and then the next time he was sitting there he had blood on his pinky when he kicked out his brother i think that he got like he cut himself because he's sitting on the throne of swords but there's something about like he has some sort of blood disorder like almost like a hemophilia that he could bleed out that's my theory oh my theory is like he's not a special that he could bleed out. That's my theory. Oh, my theory is like he's not a special Targaryen.

Like it's Valyrian steel. Aren't Targaryens supposed to like, you know, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he is. He had his hands on the fire. I know. So that's what I was thinking, too. I'm like, OK, so he can do the dragon thing.

Yeah. Oh, and then at the end, there was like this big secret. Did they say the secret or is the secret that there's winter coming the secret is that winter is coming uh what a bad secret but because we all know it yeah it's just like not juicy well it's juicy to them that they i thought he was gonna say like uh you're a baratheon like i thought it was gonna be juicy no like it's a secret to them they've seen the end of times and it's up to them to turn it around they need to turn it around turn around turn around turn around turn around turn around turn around King's Landing was looking majorly forlorn no I thought everything was looking better like

everything's in its heyday. Even there at Harrenhal in the beginning, like that's that forlorn place where Arya went that one time where she was like when she was a boy. Oh my God. I was thinking, what is Harrenhal? Yeah, all these places and people and families like are in their prime. And King's Landing, like when they came into like the court of King's Landing,

where weren't you like bustling metropolis? We home yeah yeah yeah yeah I will say the girlie Rhaenyra Rhaenyra what's her name venereal disease no you just messed me up I think it's Rhaenyra um stunning literally when the show opened and she was touching the granite dragon I thought it was Emilia Clarke. Stunning, gorgeous girl, gorgeous actress, everything of the sort. I went to Google her because there's something about her that's familiar. And then I looked at her catalog and you know what she's from for five years. What?

A Place to Call Home. My favorite show on Acorn TV. You guys have to watch the show. But were you also getting, like, lesbian love vibes between her and her friend? Yes. And so, obviously, her friend's going to fuck her dad and also put her, like, inheritance into question. And it's going to be a major betrayal on all fronts. And then Rhaenyra's going to have to push a bitch down the stairs.

Honestly, like, that's what's going to have to be done. She's not that kind of girl. No, she's not power hungry, which is why she would make a great queen. Yeah, and she's not power hungry which is why she would make a great queen yeah and she's humane which is why she would make a great queen yeah i just like was like obsessed with daemon like i'm like yes king oh my god no he's made me sick no because he reminds me of daenerys's brother yeah because there is you know due to all the incest there is an evil afoot in the Targaryen family and some of them are mad and some of them are not and as we see here. And what about the king like is he nefarious? I think that he is a good king. He's not a great

king because he doesn't have like the person who anointed him I think was a great king. he doesn't have like the person who anointed him I think was a great king he's fine he's good I think he could be easily swayed um but he's not he's not nefarious no he made a really bad call obviously in murdering his wife because he was so like wrapped up wrapped up in his successor and his legacy but I don't think he is evil I think he really loved his wife and I think he's truly heartbroken yeah me too me too that was low. That was low-key sad, like dead ass. Yeah. So good. Like, I loved it.

Yeah, because like an evil king, if you had someone in your family who was, you know, calling your heir for a day, like he would have smote him on the spot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But instead, like he just sent him away. But like Damon, if someone, if Damon were king and someone came in and was like talking trash about Daemon, fed to the dogs.

Yeah. Daemon's Joffrey. Yeah. But like I still am reserving hope like maybe he would be a good king. Like everyone's just underestimating him. I don't think so. But no, the current king is very Tommen. He's good.

But is he strong enough? Right. Right. He's fine. He's fine. But fine is better than, than you know the mad king yeah nice to see you know the ancestors of the starks and the baratheons make small appearances at the knighting yeah everyone you know everyone from like even the dornish yep handsome man i love

him he was cute i love him for a rain era but I do feel like she's going to wind up with her uncle, unfortunately. I know, because also that guy's dad or mom is a commoner. Yeah. Also, I feel like Rhaenyra's friend will be pregnant, and in order to have a firmer grasp on the title, they will produce an heir as well love that I don't know but I also called it all wrong last night I thought that Damon was gonna die in combat and that the baby was also gonna die and no or that the baby was gonna be a girl and live I thought

the baby was gonna be a girl my bitch you just killed your wife for nothing and then Damon would be gone and Rainiera would be the only heir. Not that it would be a choice. It would just be like, it has to be Rainiera. And justice for the aunt. Always justice for the auntie. The queen who never was or whatever. She would have been good.

She should do a podcast on underestimating women. Megan should have her on. So all in all, I am so happy to have this type of show back in my life. I will be keeping up on a weekly basis. It was very good. I feel like there was like a lot of drama with what Game of Thrones was going to do next. There was like a show that got canceled.

Like there was a lot. And this is what we landed on. Two prequels in the works and this is what we got. And I love it. Like, I'm loving all the blonde of hair. And I'm loving having like, we're going to have new huge celebrities. Like Millie Alcock. I love the nobodies.

I love it. By the way, I thought that Rainiera was supposed to be nine. Because they said like nine years later in the beginning. Like the mother was pregnant. Oh, yeah. When he chose the king as his successor and then it was said nine years later and this girl looks kind of little I'm like maybe she's just like a 13 year old playing a nine year old she's 22.

Oh but I guess the mom was pregnant with someone else? Perhaps but yeah yeah maybe. The mom said she was pregnant 10 five times in 10 years. She's 22 in real life. How old is venereal disease? I don't know. She could be nine. No way. I think she's probably 15, 16. Shows love to give us someone blooming into adulthood.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just like Daenerys was. The last thing I wanted to say. I feel like it was about Damon because I'm obsessed oh when he was at the whorehouse and I just I love Game of Thrones

for normalizing the word whore like not you know women aren't whores but like they were like their title back then was whore and I just love saying it

like whore when he's at the whorehouse with this whore who's a big fat whore. When he's at the whore house with his whore, who's a big fat whore. And she's like, do you want me to bring in a girl who has silver hair? Like, he's obviously obsessed with, like, incest. I mean, incest is best when you are a Targaryen.

And you know what? I'm here for it. And clearly Rhaenyra's mom is some sort of Targaryen because she was silver of hair. Totally. It's of hair. Totally. It's giving cousin. Yeah. And I actually, so I found like a family tree.

Yeah, on Twitter last night that actually gave me a spoiler. So don't go and do that. How are there spoilers? Are these books? It shows you who marries who. Are these books? It shows you who marries who. Are these books? I'm not sure. But like George.

How would this person know who marries who? Oh, because I think in the initial books, they give you all of these family trees at some point. Like someone puts it all together. And so. So don't tell me. No, no, no. I won't tell you. It's nothing major or anything, but I had to stop looking.

So I don't know where Aima came from. Aima. Yeah. Aima. How does he come up with all these names? No, I was. Okay. What is first of all, deadass?

I know Damon because it's actually a real name like Damon John. Right. And Ranierea because she's like the most important character what the fuck is everyone what is the king's name rheumatoid what is uh the hand of the king's name auto high tower oh call. What is the queen who never was his name? In that opening scene, like nine years prior, they were like, my cousin Deliria and my brother Veneria with my auntie Reneria

and our daughter Shaviria. I was like, how am I going to follow this show? Yeah, also it was interesting, the baby, the heir for a day. Bambino. Balon, who we know Balon Greyjoy of 172 years later. Maybe he had some Targaryen in him if it's a family name. Yeah, because it wasn't giving Veneria.

It was like Bambino. So I was like, oh, different family. Bambino. I was like, finally, a name. I'll be able to recognize this child by his name because it doesn't sound like reneria i have a question though child dies when the baby came out of the room was it screaming was it was fine for a few hours then it wasn't god then you heard the baby be like yeah did you hear that uh yeah i guess so i thought that the baby was gonna be like

part baby part dragon who had a baby like um like a renez may no like no not in a good way like in a in a not good way well whatever it was i understood it as like the baby was born it was healthy it was a boy and for a second the father was like oh this was worth murdering my wife then it wasn't yeah I don't even think he felt like it was worth murdering his wife for that second I think he was like I got what I wanted and look it's not even is it what I wanted yeah would I even be happy that's what Rainiera said like maybe he'll finally have experienced a moment's joy having got him right on it i just like i was up all night dreaming like about veneria and liberia i'm obsessed i can't believe you're so obsessed with damon he's so scary am i the only one like no i

was reading tweets that's crazy people were like obsessed with the actor. I think like they thought he did a really good job. He's obviously very compelling. And he's the only one who's ready to fuck shit up in Westeros. Yeah. And so far he hasn't shown me that he's like truly evil. But we need to know where those people, thieves, murderers, and rapists. Sure. Yeah.

I guess that's, that's important. Yeah. I just like him. Like, need his hairstylist number ASAP. So, yes, we will continue the recaps. I loved it. That will be on Mondays. Yep.
