Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Thursday. Welcome to the back, latter half of the week. It is exciting to be here. It is humbling to be here. And it's really even more humbling to be here with my sister, my co-host, my best friend, Jackie. Hey, Jax, how you doing? Me? Me. Me. I'm doing good after that introduction. My day is made. And I'm just feeling so grateful. And I mean, the question on everyone's lips, no one cares about me today. Everyone wants to know about Funny Girl.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Please tell us about your evening. They also, I thought you were going to say they want to know about the queen. You know, we have developing news this morning. I led with the positive. Like, I'm a good news first kind of person. Yeah. It really is hard
Starting point is 00:00:46 to do any other stories other than Queenie yeah but let's start with the good news of the day which is that Claudia saw Funny Girl last night Lea Michele's second night performing as Fanny Bryce at the August Wilson Theater and she has come with a full report for us. So, like, there are really no words. First of all, you know, I don't think anyone was questioning whether she was going to kill the singing. She's such an amazing singer. Those are such hard songs to sing, especially the ones that we know. Like, Don't Rain On My Parade is a very big song.
Starting point is 00:01:21 You have to be in extremely, like, wide range. Like me, you know, I can sing that song. Only the best singers can sing it. It's true, though. It's like a Star Spangled Banner type. It's a very difficult song to sing. Not anyone with a good voice can sing it. And the singing was so spectacular.
Starting point is 00:01:36 It was so moving. It was incredible. But I think a lot of where people were concerned or like you know just anticipating to see how Leah played Fanny because and by the way I had never seen Funny Girl the movie or the show I honestly wasn't even sure what the plot was I had like a vague idea like she wanted to be famous really she wants to be a star yeah like relatable um but I didn't really know like what Fanny was like and Fanny is like this ball she's a lunatic like she's fucking crazy singing dancing you know very physical she's very very funny obviously the show is about her she's a funny girl um and so you know prior to
Starting point is 00:02:20 seeing the show last night would I have considered Lea Michele to be a particularly funny person or a particularly comedic actress? No. But I was so impressed with how fucking funny she was. Like, it was not real. When I tell you I was cackling, like, every five minutes, which I don't really, like, laugh at Broadway shows. Like, I'm just, I'm not an easy person to make laugh. Like, some people can laugh at anything. I am not one of those people. She was so funny, hysterical, like her physical comedy, the way
Starting point is 00:02:51 she delivered her lines. Like the show I think was an hour long because people were just laughing so much. Like, and they would wait for the laughs to stop before continuing on to the next line. Everyone was great. But Leah, like the way I have a whole new respect for her outside of her musical singing voice is just not what I expected like she was from the minute she started she was so fucking funny like just hysterical there were so many moments also the woman who plays her mom, Tova Feldsha. Oh my God. She was incredible. Like I was cackling from her. And I mean, I guess if I had sat down and thought about it, I would have come to the realization like it's an extremely Jewish show.
Starting point is 00:03:36 But I just, it did like, the thought never crossed my mind. It's just like, oh, Barbara's Jewish. But like, there's all about her neighborhood in Brooklyn. So much of the humor. They were like using Yiddish words like Hamish. Like it, is that a Yiddish word? Yeah, I think so. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:48 It was so like steeped in our culture that it was so enjoyable. It was incredible. The guy who played Mr. Arnstein is so hot. I just like wasn't expecting like such a hot piece of ass to walk onto stage. And there was a scene without his shirt on. So it was funny because when you looked around the audience,
Starting point is 00:04:07 like it was literally Jewish girls and gay guys. And honestly, after seeing the show, that makes complete sense. And first of all, like I know if I walk into a room full of young Jewish women, like it's literally a room of toasters, you know? Yeah. What I didn't expect was how many gay male toasters we have like it was overwhelming to say the least to meet so many and like that just made me feel so good like yes like I feel like you know gays have a really high bar especially when it comes to podcasting and for them to enjoy this show like there's really like there's no
Starting point is 00:04:40 greater honor Jackie like I really thought we had like and because I could see it when I go to my shows there's like you know one or two gay male toasters um but we are like I think we're huge in the gay community like that's what I learned in addition to all the other things I learned last night not to make everything about us but I just thought that was really interesting oh I love that for us so it was a very toasty crowd you're saying oh beyond and so I was really like waiting for so many celebs to show up but I guess like the ones you were the celeb no literally it was podcasters anonymous because the only other famous person I saw was Bowen Yang who also has a podcast and he was there with his podcast host so um it was podcasters night out PNO and honestly he was probably better than the first night I think it was really CNO comedians night out. I would say that Bowen Yang is a comedian before he's a podcaster. Well, Pete, well, he has a really,
Starting point is 00:05:30 really like strong following on his podcast. Les Culturistas. They hosted an award show, like how we're literally always saying we want to do that. They did the Culturistas awards. How long have they been doing it for? I don't know, but I had seen them like popping up on my peripheral podcast radar for a little while now. And I think they're extremely popular. That's awesome. Yeah. So it was, it was a good night for podcasters.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Podcasters in the wild. Podcasters in the wild. Jackie was so good. I need you to see it. But I have to be, you know, also honest. And it's important that before I say this, like I also say like, I don't love Broadway shows. That's just what I was going to ask you.
Starting point is 00:06:05 So I don't love Broadway shows. I's just what I was going to ask you. So I don't love Broadway shows. I just find them to be kind of torturous. Like there's lines for the bathroom, line for basic human needs. Like you gotta pee? Sorry, you have to wait 45 minutes. You need a water? Sorry, you gotta wait 45 minutes.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Sweating? Too bad, the theater's hot. Like there's just a lot of things about the Broadway experience that I don't particularly like. And you know, it's never going to be my first, second, third, fourth, or fifth option for a night out. It's just not. So so having said that while I did enjoy the show immensely
Starting point is 00:06:29 like there was that element of like I'd literally rather be anywhere else um especially because the second act was slow it was slow and it was about 30 minutes too long the show I think is in total like three hours and that's just like a little long for me. Yeah, I was going to ask you if you got a little bored at any point. Just because like Broadway shows are long. Yeah. And you're still you. I was yawning like towards the end. But then like, so literally like the whole time you're waiting for Don't Read on My Parade.
Starting point is 00:07:00 And then at the scene before, I literally had like chills. And I literally cried like not to be a weenie. I cried twice when she, the first song, when she was like, I am the greatest star. Like it was so Leah. It was so Fanny. Like it was so Rachel Berry. It was just too much. And then right before intermission is Don't Rain on My Parade. And she comes out in this red outfit and she's at the train station. So everyone knows, cause in the movie, like she's on the boat, you know, she misses the train, whatever. So you like know it's coming in the anticipation.
Starting point is 00:07:31 It's like, it's too much. And she does Don't Rain on My Parade and it's spectacular, just spectacular. But before that, there's like another less popular verse of Don't Rain on My Parade with thin American beauty nose. And so she does that little quick verse before the intermission. Then she does Don't Rain On My Parade in full before the intermission.
Starting point is 00:07:54 And then in the last scene, she does that original verse again with 10 American beauty toes. And it's so like full circle. You just have chills. The song is threaded throughout the whole show. And it was just spectacular. Like it, first of all, I don't know how everyone in there on the stage
Starting point is 00:08:10 wasn't dying. It was three hours of just nonstop. And that's Broadway. I think Broadway is literally one of the most difficult jobs ever. Like it's just endless hours of singing, dancing, sweating, moving, remembering your lines. So it was really, I was in awe of everyone
Starting point is 00:08:24 and everyone was incredible. And I really was just kept thinking, like I could not imagine Beanie Feldstein doing this job. I also really could not imagine Jane Lynch as the mom. I don't know if Jane Lynch is Jewish. I didn't realize that Tova took over for Jane. Yeah, and I don't know if Jane Lynch is Jewish, but you need, like Tova Afelcha, who's clearly Jewish, I don't know if Jane Lynch is Jewish, but you need, like, Tova Afelcha,
Starting point is 00:08:46 who's clearly Jewish, I don't even need to look it up. She really had that, like, old Jewish mom. What are you kibitzing for? Like, I just can't see. And the accent, the accent, I'm really rigid about accents, especially if it's, like, one of my people.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Like, I'm going to think it's fake. But Leah really nailed the, like, Brooklyn. It was Jewish accent. It was really, really good. and her mom was so fucking funny and her mom is like this gaggle of ladies which are just like classic ladies like just bragging about the fact that their daughter's married it was just it was spectacular like if you have a chance to go see Leah see it it's really it's a once in a lifetime experience like I was really like really in the moment feeling like very honored and privileged to have gotten the tickets like it was it was a fabulous night out in New York and then we walked out of the theater me and Ben walked to 8th Avenue
Starting point is 00:09:33 got a cab it was like so New York this lady chain smoking cigarettes started a fight with Ben and Ben is like okay so what happened was we got to the corner and Ben stuck his arm out for a cab and we didn't see that there was a woman like standing right behind Ben so she was waiting for a cab with like a cigarette hanging out of her mouth I don't know why that's an important detail I just need you to know what type of woman she was she was like she had a smoker's voice and she was just fucking nasty and she's like excuse me and Ben's like oh I'm sorry I didn't see you like we would never steal a cab from especially from an older woman like we just we genuinely did not see her. And it was just a true accident.
Starting point is 00:10:08 And she's like going, have some etiquette. Like screaming at us. And Ben is going back and forth with her. I'm like, Ben, this woman is obviously mentally ill. Like why are you fighting with an old lady in the street? And I'm saying this in front of the woman. I'm like, Ben, this woman is clearly unwell. Like what are you starting a fight with her for?
Starting point is 00:10:21 And I'm just like, I'm unintentionally gassing her up too. And then two cabs came and it was honestly just like a perfect night in New York that's so beautiful I'm so happy for you incredible in Crayab five stars five keys you know who else I'm happy for the cast and crew of the show who haven't changed since the original show and now like there's this whole new excitement and fanfare joie de vivre for everyone who's coming I'm sure the people on stage it's like a whole new show and it's like a whole new they're taking on a whole new life with it so I'm excited for them no there was like a palpable energy like the second they made the announcement about phones and then like the composer like stuck her head out and did this like little introduction music um There was an electricity in the room that like you really can't,
Starting point is 00:11:06 you have to be there to describe. I was like screaming. I was like, I'm at everyone screaming. I'm like, like it was, it was a lot. Like it was a lot of energy. And of course, like we were quaking because in the first act, she's, you know, flirting with Mr. Arnstein. And she says, she's like, I don't read a lot of books.
Starting point is 00:11:28 And the audience erupted. And I had heard that that happened the first night. The second night, Jackie, it was literally like a 45 second delay. Like people were just, at first it was like a slow cackle. And then everyone started to, Brian was like, why are people laughing? I'm like, cause she can't read. And like, it was like this slow rumble and Mr. Arnstein was supposed to say something and like, he literally couldn't because people were cackling. Um, and what was so great about it is like, it's really like a comedic show. It's like, it's, you think you, when you think of Funny Girl, you think of the music, but it's really like all about comedic timing and the way that like the audience played a part in adding to the jokes a little bit like it was I don't feel like they'll ever be um a show where they do it the exact same because there was just like it was
Starting point is 00:12:12 literally like a live comedy show yeah it was crazy it was so good like me and Margot and Ben and Brian like we were dying would you see it again I would but I would leave after the first act okay only because like I literally got home and when I woke up but I would leave after the first act. Okay. Only because like I literally got home and when I woke up today, I felt like I ran the marathon. I'm like, oh my God, it's Saturday. Thank God. And then my alarm went off. I was like, what? It was, it was exhausting. Like literally. Yeah. Imagine how she feels. No, I know. I can. And she did a matinee that day also. Wednesdays, there's a two o'clock and an eight o'clock. And she had done one the night before. I'm telling you like people who are on Broadway have my utmost respect it is the hardest job
Starting point is 00:12:47 I just really hope that we can find a way for her to qualify for the Tony because what you told me is not right so um somebody did let me know that uh recently the Tony's made a small amendment that like a replacement there's like maybe another category where like a replacement can be eligible. Okay. All hope is not lost. Okay. That's good to hear. And she beyond deserves it. Like she didn't crack once.
Starting point is 00:13:12 You know, it's a new show. So like, it's not a new show, but it's a new, they've changed a lot of things with Leah. So like there were a couple of fuck ups. Like this one guy, he had like, it was like this American, the thing is, is like, it's a show about a show because she's the star and she becomes Ziegfeld's girl and so they show like the shows that she's acting in in the show yeah and so one of them was like this um American theme there was like all these girlies dressed as like soldiers it was so cute and like these two guys were doing like this drill dance with like these drill guns and this guy just like fucked the whole thing up but it's like I think it's because it's like
Starting point is 00:13:45 the arrangements are kind of new. They changed some things with Leah. So it was by no means like completely void of any error, but she was. And that was just crazy to see. Wow. So good. And now I really want to watch the movie.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Oh, good. Because it's like, it's like a girl from New York desperate to get famous like biography biography you should watch the movie and report back I'm going to and I'm glad that my first time seeing it with Lee was with Leah because like it needed to happen and she'll always be fanny to you like she is Barbara will be to you what Leah is to other people like the secondary fanny a hundred percent it's the same way where like Lady Gaga is to me what Barbara Streisand is to other people from A Star is Born it's just like generational oh my god speaking of A Star is Born it's really so crazy I read Priscilla Presley's book and like Elvis was supposed to play Norman Maine opposite Barbara and who ended up playing him like Chris Christopherson
Starting point is 00:14:49 I don't know I think hold on let me just google that I don't know why that name just came to mind I actually think I watched that one after the Lady Gaga one I went like on a rabbit hole rabbit hole I watched the Judy Garland one which was so so cute. And I think I, no, I started the Barbara one and I couldn't get past like the first 10 minutes. No offense. Okay. It is Chris Christopherson. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Very good. Yeah. Not that I know who that is even. I would love to know though, like what Barbara thinks of Lea Michele. Cause you know, there are so many people like just say that Barbara hates Lea Michele. And that's possible but um I don't know how Barbara can't respect talent like for real I feel like it's probably a mutually respectful relationship but a little adversarial because
Starting point is 00:15:38 it's like you never are gonna love someone who everyone is saying is the new you that's always gonna sting a little bit yeah that's true that's true but I feel like Barbara's like a gracious aging queen no yeah but still it's like I think that just stings like imagine if there was like a new podcast doing what we do and everyone's like they're the new Jackie and Claudia I'd be like uh death to them are people saying that about someone no I've never heard that before but'm sure like, I think if there's a podcast that can do what we do, welcome. Yeah. No,
Starting point is 00:16:08 that's the thing about being in a league of your own. Um, but yeah, I think it stinks. No, for sure. Um, in the Vogue article,
Starting point is 00:16:16 they were like sneakily, they trying to ask if she heard from, you know, any fat past fannies, which obviously includes Beanie as well, because we're all just beyond curious um and she was like yeah I've heard from some like she didn't like give us anything yeah wow it's but there was a Barbara Streisand tribute a bunch of years ago and Leigh Michelle
Starting point is 00:16:36 did a gorgeous rendition of My Man um and Barbara seemed to be enjoying it on the telecast I go back and watch the performance like once a year. I'm sure she was. I'm just sure there's just like a little something. Like, yeah, a little nefariousness. Yeah. How could there not be? Human nature.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Plus, they're both like diva stars, so it's not just like two ordinary people who are being compared to each other. It's like the ego, the pride. Okay, two things. One, going off of what you just said, it's very clear to me because I've now just been consumed by Lea Michele content of her at the stage door. You know interviews things like that. It's very clear that she's been extremely humbled and like that diva energy she had
Starting point is 00:17:16 she has gotten rid of completely. Like even when she was doing her bows she like did not want to bow alone. She was blowing kisses to everyone. She was bringing everyone up with her. Like she's, I don't think it's an act. I think she was like severely humbled by her scandal and like being called out for being like a menace to work with. So you'd love to see that. And there are rumors, rumors. So there's no verification. There are rumors that on the first night, and I don't know if this is something they're going to do every night, but at least they did on the first night, there was an empty chair in the audience for Cory Monteith because in Glee, she, spoiler alert, gets cast as Fanny Bryce. And it's after Finn has passed and they leave a seat empty for him.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Oh my God, I have chills. No, I know. I know. I'm not going to cry. So that's just what a lot of the fandom is saying on TikTok. There's absolutely no verification if that's true. But people did report seeing an empty seat next to Jonathan Groff where like he would have been sitting.
Starting point is 00:18:14 I'm literally going to cry. So I don't know if that's true, but. That's really sweet. I know. I hope it's true. Like even if it's not true, I just think, you know the the folklore of it it's nice the folklore of it yes yes um so that's my review you absolutely have to see it if you have the opportunity people were flying in from all over like it was literally like the place to be they should should do Funny Girl Live for Christmas.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Free idea. Totally. Because people need to see it. Or it's like a Dear Evan Hansen thing where they make it into a movie. They'll do a remake of the movie with Leah. They could do that. But that takes like so much more time, energy, resources as opposed to like give us a live soundstage,
Starting point is 00:19:00 have the cast do their thing. Obviously, you have to change it a little bit. But that can be nice. We haven't heard what the Christmas live movie is going to be, have we? No. And we're getting close. I feel like this time last year,
Starting point is 00:19:09 we were already hyped for Annie Live. Oh. I miss Annie Live. I miss that time. Can I tell you that? It's a hard knock life. It is a hard knock life. Can I tell you?
Starting point is 00:19:20 Oh, that last night before, while I was getting ready, I was doing an Instagram Live because I was so antsy. I was like, like I need to do something I'm literally just sitting here waiting to go and the way that the toasters were playing with me last night okay so I got up and left the the live for like a second and they like came up with a plan in the comments to when I got back be like bestie check Instagram Leigh Michelle has COVID how fucking mean is that and then they also came up with a plan because the show was every night at
Starting point is 00:19:52 seven o'clock but on Wednesdays is that it's at eight o'clock because there's a matinee so she does a two o'clock and then an eight o'clock and I was like Claudia you're gonna be late at 6 30 the show's at seven I'm like wait what they're like yeah it's at seven like what's wrong with you I'm like and Ben was the one who told me 8 so I had reason to doubt. It's not like I checked it myself. Oh my god. They were just like fucking playing with me on Instagram live. It was not fucking cool. Those are some funny pranks though.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Yeah no that was really good. I could respect the nature of it. Pretty well thought out. 100%. I saw that you were live. I was FaceTiming with Olivia and then I was going to join your live and you were wrapping up. I think I was the last comment. I said, hey. Oh, you want to hear the craziest thing?
Starting point is 00:20:28 What? Do you know who joined my live? Who? Samuel L. Jackson. He's followed me on Instagram for years. It's just like a fun fact about me. And it literally said Samuel L. Jackson has joined. He might have just like joined by accident
Starting point is 00:20:42 and then swiped away, but I was talking to him for the next 10 minutes. I'm like, Sam, what do you think about this? Oh, I think I was gonna say did you call him out also that happens I sometimes join someone's live and immediately leave because like the live comes up at the first story or they used to send you push notifications when someone would go live so like if you happen to click the notification all of a sudden you're in uh that doesn't mean that you're there in in yeah so that was just like a weird time for me well that sounds lit I'm so happy for you me too and how was your night my night was lovely thank you very quiet I've been reading a book uh historical fiction back to my roots I think
Starting point is 00:21:22 it's called the secret life of Violet Schuyler. It's Beatrice Williams. Who's like a Kristen Hannah, like a girly heart, the premier historical fiction author. But I'd never read one of her solo books. I read a book that she coauthored with two other authors, not my favorite. Um, but this one is really, really good. So I'm really enjoying. Yeah. But, um, I just been like eating healthy, you know, when you feel like crap the first few days when you're eating healthy, cause you're like, where's all my carbs? Where's the sugar? Where's the energy? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:47 So I'm just like, you know, focused on that. Easing into it. Easing into it. But eating really healthy. I've been cooking a lot. Good. So that's what's new with me. So exciting.
Starting point is 00:21:59 So exciting. And you're looking so cute today. Ready to deliver the stories that will tug at the heartstrings. They will. I don't know why I just opened my jacket like that i'm sure i'm not gonna like what i'm not gonna like what i see that was weird that's like something like people who like flash people on the no not that because you were talking about my outfit so i was like you look great i was giving a peek of my outfit but like there's a reason why the jacket's covering like where's that jacket from good american did you copy me because i've had it for a year no i didn't i just placed a big order at good american and this is so pleany and so my style i also placed like an enormous order
Starting point is 00:22:36 at good american and it's just been saving me like every time i need something i'm like oh my god wait that order from good american true and this little dress underneath is also good american i am american wearing a seam law um you can't see from your angle but everyone else can see um good american like is fabulous so fabulous always doing new and better things i feel like anytime i have a style idea in mind it's like oh i want a romper that looks like this or like a bodysuit that looks like that or a tank top whatever it's that good American yeah and they also just like I really cannot stress enough like how much I love their the way their sizing is like yeah the obviously like the range of it but also it's not like small medium large like they created their own sizing and it's just it's divine yeah do you get the matching pants to this jacket no I'm not a corduroy pant girl I know I did it they don't fit
Starting point is 00:23:26 yet but I feel like when they do it'll be really cute yeah okay yeah no I saw the pants and I said no thank you yeah no I I hope that I could be that girl maybe I won't be but it's worth a shot that's the thing with online shopping is that you sometimes forget who you are um and you're like yeah like I could wear these low rise khakis. No, I really don't. Like, I feel like I'm always getting. I know what I do. I know my silhouette.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Like, I know what cuts work for me. Like, I'll never be someone who wears a v-neck. That's just something weird about me. A lot. I know what works for me. But sometimes I'm like, maybe that could be my new thing if I just expand my mind. What if I just tried this new thing? What if I just?
Starting point is 00:24:07 Speaking, no, not speaking of. Before we dive into the Fast Five, Jackie and I released a video episode and an audio episode. We recorded both for the Patreon. We, a couple weeks ago, no, maybe a couple months ago, we did a Patreon episode that people loved where we were just testing our general history knowledge because one of us is smart and one of us is not. And it led us down this path because we wanted to do a similar episode. And Jackie had the great idea to see if we could pass the American immigration test. You know, when you want to become a citizen, you have to learn about American history. And it's like low key, kind of a hard test. So we took the test. We did like these
Starting point is 00:24:42 mock tests. And it was the funniest episode and if you want to find out if Colleen Hoover wrote the Declaration of Independence head to patreon.com slash the morning toast if you want to watch it as a vlog episode you can if you want to watch it as a podcast episode listen to it as a podcast episode we released both for you guys and it was just really like a really great time it really was it's such a great episode and I think that if you are studying for your citizenship test I don't think it's not helpful. Agreed. I think there's a lot to be learned in there.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Like some funny jokes that will help you remember the answers. Right, right. Like Ben Franklin and his little glasses. Like what is Ben Franklin remember for? Now do you remember like one thing that he was remembering? Yes, being a writer girl. What did he write do you even know i don't remember either okay but here's another one

Starting point is 00:29:00 Dragging your feet. Because I don't want to report the first story, which is that Queen Elizabeth is under medical supervision as doctors are concerned for her health the palace says Queen Elizabeth's health is causing concern for her doctors Buckingham Palace said in a statement on Thursday quote following further evaluation this morning the Queen's doctors are concerned for her majesty's health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision the Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral. Their royal highnesses, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall have traveled to Balmoral,
Starting point is 00:29:30 Buckingham Palace said, adding that Prince William is also making his way to Balmoral from his home in Windsor. So all of the queen's kids are going to be with her. William is on his way. Kate and her family, the kids just started, grandkids just started school yesterday so she's not going yet which I feel like if it was really serious like the end they would be there that's true so that gives me a little hope I know Megan and Harry were also in the UK and they canceled
Starting point is 00:30:00 something that they had in their going to to to bow moral, to be with the queen. So, you know, as a rational human being, I think we all need to just like, you know, come to grips with the fact that like sooner or later, there will be a time where the queen is no longer with us. Yes. And every time we get one of these little health scares, you know, that impending doom just gets closer and closer.
Starting point is 00:30:27 And I don't know if this is going to be the time. I pray that it's not. I think she is an invaluable world leader, an incredible monarch, a wonderful grandmother, mother and friend. And great grandmother. And great grandmother. mother and friend and great-grandmother and great-grandmother um but the possibility of you know this happening soon is is real yeah she's 96 so when it's a you know seeking medical attention even if it's for a cut on her finger when you're at that age you always take it seriously yeah for sure this seems more serious though than in the past I I don't know why
Starting point is 00:31:06 yeah well it's because like everyone dropped everything to go and they'd like put out a statement she's at Balmoral but I'm holding on because the grand campers are not there right and like Balmoral is like her favorite place yeah it's it's like it's like symbolic. It's personal to her. Like when she's at Buckingham Palace, it's more work, but that's where she goes to, you know, be with herself. But,
Starting point is 00:31:32 you know, and I was thinking about this this morning, you know, of course there will be a time when Charles succeeds and Charles in charge. And then Charles in charge. And then William is a successor. And it'll be like an official changing of the guards. Prince Philip and the queen will no longer be here.
Starting point is 00:31:50 And it does make me just think about how Harry and Meghan, I think really the one and only tie they have to this family is with Queenie. And that's a pretty big tie because she's the motherfucking queen. But I think after she's gone, I don't think they'll be welcome at events and stuff like it's very clear him and William don't get along and I don't think him and Charles get along yeah like so them being in the UK and just hopping over to Balmoral like it's not that won't happen anymore they're gonna be like not losing their press passes their credentials and even though
Starting point is 00:32:22 they've kind of you know publicly turned their back on the family, they've still like always been like kissing Queenie's ass. Like. Yeah. Naming the daughter Lilibet. Every time it's an interview, we were on Zoom with Gran. Like they want everyone to know that all is good with Gran.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Gran is not nefarious. Gran has never acted nefarious. It wasn't Gran who said the thing about Archie. So that is like their last, I think, tie to the family. But it's one that keeps them in the fold because she's the queen. It's not like, you know, it's not like it's Edward.
Starting point is 00:32:52 No, whatever the queen says goes. Right. She's like, it's like the only, the best tie you can have. Yeah. It's very sad. It is. And you you you know you think you'll cry if and when maybe like there will be probably a lot of um
Starting point is 00:33:13 tributes tributes the everything will be televised it could happen yeah it's just beyond the would be i like i even hate talking like this but you know no one lives forever it will be the real end of an era yeah because she is from like the last generation of great monarchs yeah and we'll I don't think there will ever be a monarch who will reign as long as she has she And be as admired and universally respected. Like even if you're not a monarchist, like and you live in the UK, I still think you have enormous respect for the queen.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Right. So. And when you think about like the fact that she's been alive for 96 years, like in all that she's. She's seen. She lived through the Holocaust. Right?
Starting point is 00:34:03 Yeah. World War II. Right. Because like low key, her husband had some like nazi vibes but no he didn't he had some ties ties he didn't his family did okay but he did not no his family did he fought the nazis oh that was gracious of him yeah he was in the war all his after all his family did he was in the war okay that changes things for sure i tell you this every time and you continue to sully his memory with this crap speaking of prince philip did you see that like picture from next week's episode of game of thrones where damon's hair is. I didn't see that his hair was cut,
Starting point is 00:34:46 but I, oh, I didn't see a picture. I watched the preview though. What happens next week? I don't know. I don't watch the previews cause I feel like they're full of spoilers. Um, but the picture of him without hair is going viral on Tik TOK. I mean on Twitter. And I just feel like he's Samson. Like, I don't think I'll be attracted to him without his hair to be completely honest. Cause then he goes back to being Prince Philip yes and I didn't even like look at him twice when he was Prince Philip yeah me neither but also because that was during Prince Phil Phillips like villain era yeah that's true that's little fuck boy ballerina era fuck boy ballerina not like I'm gonna be the man my wife needs me to be era and I'm gonna be the gran
Starting point is 00:35:21 and maybe the great man not like I'm gonna be the man this country needs me to be the gran And maybe the great gran Not like I'm going to be The man this country Needs me to be Yeah Oh you know what was cool When I was in Turks and Caicos And we were at the airport Right when you got out of security There was a portrait of the queen So they're part of the commonwealth
Starting point is 00:35:34 Right Yeah And I was like trying to explain To Ben and Margo Like what that means But it's a tough one To explain something When you don't know what it means
Starting point is 00:35:40 Totally Because Ben was like So like she's in charge I'm like no No It's just like a part of the commonwealth they like recognize her and they like have her face on the money yeah and probably probably a few other ties too but it's like they're it's like they're one big family they see those are some distant cousins right that's what i think But it's like in that family, the cousins don't make decisions for your personal family.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Right. It was just confusing because like that also happened to me in the airport in the British Virgin Islands. But it's like British Virgin Islands. So it's literally Britain. It was less for you to wrap your head around. Right. And I was a two and a half flight, hour flight from New York. So I'm like, it's literally like a 30 minute flight to Miami.
Starting point is 00:36:26 So I'm like, how is this Britain? Right. I'm in Britain. What up, Gran? I'm in Britain. Hello,
Starting point is 00:36:33 brother. Gran, it's me. Let me into the castle. That's Harry today. We're sending our best wishes to Balmoral today. We really like beyond. We're sending our best wishes to Balmoral today. We really like beyond.
Starting point is 00:36:48 We're just making light because you know, it's difficult for us to, to discuss. It is. And the queen is, is she is lightness, you know, cut that.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Mm. Mm. Mm. The queen is coming. That was literally my first introduction to ASMR. Because she's literally like, the queen is coming. It's like perfection. It's like triggers on your ears.
Starting point is 00:37:13 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. The queen is coming. And then your second one was Julie? Julie Corky? Julie Corky. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Okay. Julie. Julie Corky. Julie Corky. Yeah. And then my third one was Josie B. ASMR, my queen. Yes, you're absolute queen. She gave me a face show before bed last night, and it was so nice. You're wild. Wild. Are you ready for our next story? It was probably equally as important as this news about the queen. What is it?
Starting point is 00:37:44 The Dancing with the Stars season 31 cast has been announced, plus partners. Oh, I don't care about the partners. No. People who wait with bated breath with their t-shirts on. Who is Glenn going to be with? The only thing I care about the partners is there's always one eligible female or male paired with an eligible single female or male. And it's like, oh, perhaps what if they just started dating?
Starting point is 00:38:10 Yeah. Okay. So first we have Selma Blair and Sasha Farber. That, by the way, I was just on TikTok. Selma Blair has a beauty line that's made, it's like, it's made, she has MS, right? Yeah. that's made it's like um it's made she has uh ms right yeah so it's like meant to help people who have um who are like limited in their mobility and it's like so different i never saw any makeup like it before and she was like putting on mascara with like this applicator and it looked like
Starting point is 00:38:38 so good that's awesome yeah i thought it was so cool i love selma blair yeah it's cool that she's doing it honestly this season cast, there's a lot of more traditional celebrities. Not this next person. Charlie. Teresa Giudice and Pasha. They love reality TV stars. And I think she'll be great.
Starting point is 00:38:57 I think she'll last five minutes. She'll be great in the sense that like, she'll be good for the show. Going home. Yeah, no, but like they love, like that's a perfect casting for dancing with the stars then also gabby wendy and val chermkovsky she is one of the new bachelorettes i think there's oh i think their season ended not sure next vinnie guadagnino and coco iwasaki he's gonna be great yeah the way. I'm surprised he hasn't done it sooner. He also has like a residency in Vegas with the Chippendales.
Starting point is 00:39:29 So like he's a dancer. Like he's pretty coordinated. I think he'll be great. And I think this will be great for his star. Like I think people forget about how funny and kind and like charismatic he is. I think they're going to love him. I think he could win. I think so too. There's a lot of really people who...
Starting point is 00:39:44 Well, Charlie's going to win. People who could win. think so too there's a lot of really people who Charlie's gonna win people who could win Jordan Sparks and Brandon Armstrong Jesse James Decker and Alan Burstyn she could win yeah she could Shangela and Gleb oh Shangela oh my god I told you this is like a so far there I don't know how many we've done But we're like 8 for 8 On real solid And they're finally like Moving into
Starting point is 00:40:09 I don't think there's ever been A drag queen on I think that This is the first time That's huge And Shangela's iconic Yeah Then Cheryl Ladd and Louis
Starting point is 00:40:21 She is an actress She was from Charlie's Angels Back in the day always got to throw an old timer in there yes you do then jason lewis who is uh smith jared and petta wait pita sorry um what smith jared well why is he on dancing with the Stars and not the Sex and the City reboot? That's kind of weird. I'm actually going to watch. Not me literally being obsessed with this cast.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Keep going. Joseph Baina and Daniela. He's a fitness model who's the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mildred Baina. Then Trevor Donovan and Emma. Trevor Donovan from 90210. You'd recognize this face anywhere. Who does he play?
Starting point is 00:41:09 He plays Teddy. The LGBTQ character. Teddy Montgomery. I like the way you just said that. LGBT. I'm reading. You got a little melody to it. LGBTQ character. I'm reading all of his accolades. I don't know who that is LGBT. I'm reading. You had a little melody to it. LGBTQ character.
Starting point is 00:41:26 I'm reading all of his accolades. I don't know who that is. Yes, you do. Claudia, let me zoom in further. He also is a hallmark man these days. You know him. Oh, for sure. For sure.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Blondini. Blondini. Then Daniel Durant and Britt Stewart. He's from CODA. Okay. Wayne Brady and Whitney Carson. That's from CODA. Okay. Wayne Brady and Whitney Carson. That's going to be a really good duo.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Sam Champion and Cheryl Burke. He's a weatherman. Oh, cute. Charlie D'Amelio and Mark Ballas and Heidi D'Amelio and Artem. Like, Charlie D'Amelio being on, not only is a person who's, like, the most famous with the most followers and the most background in dancing, it's not even fair. No, it's not fair. She's going to win. And then if she doesn't win, it's like, well, then the show's a rig because she has most fans
Starting point is 00:42:15 and she's a really good dancer. And she should be getting the highest scores. Highest scores and highest votes. So it makes no sense. But do you want to just place your prediction for who's going to win? I actually don't think Charlie's going to win. You don't? No, it's just too obvious.
Starting point is 00:42:27 And I think that like, I don't know if her fan base watches Dancing with the Stars. I think Charlie's going to win. Even though like last year you would have thought JoJo was going to win, but Iman Shumpert won. Yeah. So, okay, that's fair. I'm going to go with Vinny Guad Guadagnino I was gonna go with Vinny too and I'll be rooting for him I love him the first podcast I ever did was Vinny Guadagnino's
Starting point is 00:42:51 before podcasting was a thing and I was like what is this like janky ass fake radio show and he introduced me to podcasting do you think it's easier for a man to win or a woman to win man because in like traditional ballroom dancing like the woman is the star of the dance usually so if the woman is a pro it's easier for you to just it's easier for it to look good so I think you can pass for longer as a man but I think it's harder to dazzle and I think like the winner needs to dazzle so I actually I think more often women win I think so too. But no, that's interesting. I don't know. Sound off in the comments. Yeah. Okay, this next story is so salacious, like a little...

Starting point is 00:45:07 Okay, our next story, a little salacious tabloid gossip that has me really shook. So the founder of Rolling Stone, Jan Wenner, has written a memoir, and he has some shocking celebrity factoids, but none more shocking than him confirming that Angelina Jolie was behind the famous Brad Pitt pictures. So in addition.
Starting point is 00:45:28 What pictures? Here's the story. In addition to Rolling Stone, Wenner owned Us Weekly for a time. He writes how in 2005, a photographer that Us worked with received a tip that Angelina Jolie was staying at a resort on the coast of Africa with Brad Pitt, who was still married to Jennifer Aniston at the time. on the coast of Africa with Brad Pitt, who was still married to Jennifer Aniston at the time. The new couple who had worked together on the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith had generated plenty of rumors that they were also an off-screen couple,
Starting point is 00:45:51 but nothing had been confirmed. But the photographer was told not only where the pair were staying, but also given details about the time of their daily walk, along with a suggestion of where they could be secretly photographed. He said, we got the photo, we got the proof, we had had the worldwide scoop the debut of brangelina he said the tip wait sorry was i always forget was brad pitt married to jennifer aniston yes wow that's like so crazy i always thought
Starting point is 00:46:15 they were like boyfriend and girlfriend he said the tipster was angelina that is crazy yeah when they say when they uh yeah i think so there's a bunch of like juicy factoids in this article but this is for our purposes like the juiciest one the biggest one when they say that celebrities all always call the power paparazzi on themselves i'm like yeah you know when they go to the gas station when they're like feeling their look but i'm like but i'm like these pictures that are taken like on a vacation that are like so anyone would kill for these pictures like they would definitely stalk down Brad and Angelina get a picture of them together like those are not staged no and you always think like yes every celebrity calls a paparazzi on themselves but not like Brad Pitt Angelina Jolie level but not when like you're when you're that level and like you
Starting point is 00:47:07 have something like this like this I feel like this is what paparazzi is for they're getting the scoop like they're going out into the and hiding in the bushes and like it's like no she called them no but like yes see the thing is it's like it's really tough to know which it is, which is how like celebrities are kind of given like a level of skepticism on whether or not they call to themselves. Because in Jeanette McCurdy's book, she's in Hawaii on the beach with her man and she lied to her mom about where she was. And the paparazzi took a picture of her and her mom literally wrote her an email
Starting point is 00:47:40 like fucking disowning her, calling her whore for being 18 like and having a boyfriend oh my god she didn't even know that she had a boyfriend and so like and Jeanette like it ruined her whole trip she stayed inside in the room for the rest of the time like having anxiety her boyfriend had to lock her phone in the safe right and I so I do feel like there are so many times when no when it's the paparazzi are doing their job they're getting a scoop uh I would have thought that something like this is exactly that well you know it makes sense why Angelina had a lot to gain by that being out there because now everyone knows Jen knows and they can be together like it's not like a secret anymore yeah damn the more I learn
Starting point is 00:48:18 about Angelina Jolie the more miserable she sounds like there's you know a lot of stuff coming out because of her divorce and the Brad thing and I think Brad was definitely toxic too like especially struggled with his drinking and could potentially have been like a little bit nuts um but she sounds like miserable too yeah there is a lot coming out I haven't been able to keep track of all of it something about a winery yeah well they own this like fucking chateau winery and it's become like a huge asset in their divorce they both want it yeah and i'm sure if i like went down the rabbit hole you know i'm not gonna say that okay anyways i just feel like that's a bit of hot goss for the
Starting point is 00:49:00 no that's like that's fucking crazy and this what was there any other like good bombshells from the book? Not bombshells, but he has like a lot of funny anecdotes about his experiences with certain celebrities like Tom Cruise, Bette Midler, Arnold Schwarzenegger, nothing like no tea, just like he was this way. And he was like saying how Tom Cruise like seems really guarded and like you can have a cool conversation with him and feel like you like are bonding. And then you actually walk away being like, I know nothing about this person. Well, that is like a telltale sign of like a fucking serial killer.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Like people who are so manipulative, like con men only ask about you, you know. And like the second that they like the question turned, like ask me a question. Claudia, how was Funny Girl last night? Oh, it was great. You, you actually, have you you seen funny girl you remind me so much of fanny me like it's like that switching like it's fucking manipulative yeah oh I never heard that yeah okay well sounds like a great book I have a lot on my content plate so if any of you want to read it and let me know if there are more interesting factoids, sound off in the comments. LMK. Sound off in the comments. S-O-I-T-C.
Starting point is 00:50:10 Switka. Oh, happy National Literacy Day, by the way. Is Ben doing okay? You know, he, I woke up this morning and he was gone. Is that why Ben loves Lea Michele? Did I already make this joke? I don't know. Sounds like kind of familiar.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Yeah, me too. No, Ben had to get out of Dodge. Like he's literally on a plane to Vegas right now. Some days are just, you need to take a personal day. It could be like the anniversary of something like national holiday. It's just not for you. No, he's on a work trip. He's going actually, have you ever been to Lake Tahoe? No.
Starting point is 00:50:42 No, I'm like so jealous, but it's like for work but still like but still that's a pretty cool place to go it's fucking hard to get to yeah I feel like it's like the Hamptons of of LA so true even though I feel like there's 500 places like that like Malibu is also the Hamptons of LA so Santa Barbara sense of it's hard to get to. I feel like Santa Barbara is the Hamptons of LA. But is there not like a Santa Barbara municipal airport? Municipal? I mean, if you have a private jet, it's easy to get anywhere. It's true.
Starting point is 00:51:13 But no, you drive. I think it's like a two. Oh, no. Palm Springs is the Hamptons of LA. But they have an airport. They have so many options. It's not even fair. It's so not fair.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Darn, darn, darn. I mean mean i guess we have like newport we have the jersey shore hamptons upstate i feel like there's another like one by nantucket nantucket yeah we have a few Nantucket we'll always have Nantucket always are you ready for our next story is it fifth and final yeah no not even Ansel Elgort is sharing photos from his Italian vacation with Shailene Woodley I know I saw it on my Instagram loving Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley are enjoying their summer adventure together overseas on Wednesday Ansel shared a carousel of images on instagram from his tour in italy featuring his longtime friend and co-star from 2014's fault in our stars he said it's the time for the season of loving hearts okay like seeing these two together obviously brought me back to that film and it reminded me that like
Starting point is 00:52:18 i saw that movie in theaters i believe with margot aschere um and the way that like people were audibly sobbing like like the theater sounded like this that me and margot could not stop fucking laughing and i think people thought that we were crying too when we just like let them it was beyond like it was literally like teenage mental illness the way people were like oh and so like it was not okay that's not okay I've never seen the movie obviously when you see a picture like this of two people it sparks relationship rumors but I do think these two are just friends me too reconnecting I think like Shailene Woodley like is meant to be with Aaron Rogers like it will happen like I'm not, I haven't gotten off the ship. Like I'm literally,
Starting point is 00:53:05 I'm going to dive dysentery on the ship because I'm not getting off and there's no food or water. Not getting off. Also has Ansel broken up with his longtime lady love? Yes. When did that happen? Like they were on, off,
Starting point is 00:53:17 on, off. And then like nobody cared anymore. And I guess they're off, you know, like that's how it happened. Got it. So I think this is just two friends.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Yeah. Being friendly. The whole Ansel thing is like so weird. Yeah. you know like that's how it happened got it so i think this is just two friends yeah friendly answer the whole answer thing is like so weird yeah it's like we're like we're all just moving on question mark i don't think so i don't think so either like does the article mention it oh that's a great question they're smiling at a restaurant this is people magazine last slide oh however it seems at some point during the vacation things got a little wild Oh, that's a great question.

See, I just find that interesting because you literally cannot read like anything about leah michelle and funny girl without hearing about the fact that like her ex uh co-worker said she was mean um and it's like everywhere and like ansel elgort was literally accused of rape rape and it's not even in the article like that's crazy that's crazy like not to literally make everything about me but
Starting point is 00:54:25 like anytime I've ever been written up it's like and 300 years ago Claudia said something like gross on Twitter like but yeah no that's so weird I wonder what that is it's either like a certain publicist relationship there's some back channel thing happening there where it's like, we're going to move forward with Ansel. We're not going to mention this stuff anymore. And you're going to get on board. Right. No, it's like,
Starting point is 00:54:52 it's like you either get approved or you don't. Right. Either like whatever your scandal was, no matter how big or small, either it sticks with you forever or never again, as it mentioned. And I'm feeling like we're moving in that way with we are it's really fucking weird and i also feel like all of us are inadvertently like peddling whatever it is that going along with whatever they say like if it's leah michelle i
Starting point is 00:55:17 mean for you it's like leah michelle will always be like your queen and that supersedes her scandal but it could be anyone where it's like it always gets mentioned or it's a distant memory. No, it's so weird. And it's so important to note like the different degrees of scandal. Like Lea Michele was accused by a lot of her castmates, a lot of them being black, of being microaggressive. And then a lot of her other castmates is just being a fucking wench. And the other person here, Ansel Elgort, is literally accused of like a crime.
Starting point is 00:55:50 So I just find it interesting. That's all I'm going to say. Yeah, it is interesting. But I just think we can't control, you know, what the media is doing, but we can control what we're doing. So I think our participation. We just need to have that same energy and decide, you know, is that something.
Starting point is 00:56:08 Or do you always want to bring up someone's scandal or not? Does it depend on the level or not? It just feels like it's so weird not to. It's like, it's not like it's a little thing. Yeah. Like, all right. Somebody with old tweets, like you're not going to find me bringing it up every time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:20 I'm talking about them because honestly, I don't fucking care. And I just, I'm not one of those losers who thinks it's indicative of who they are as a person. Right. I am a normal human being who believes in growth. Yeah. I'm talking about them. Because honestly. I don't fucking care. And I just. I'm not one of those losers. Who thinks it's indicative. Of who they are as a person. Right. I am a normal human being. Who believes in growth. Right. But like.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Rape. Is a little different. I agree. And that's just a little bit about me. Yeah. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? So soon? So soon.
Starting point is 00:56:44 Only if it's the fifth and final story that's brought to you by Allbirds. It is. I love my Allbirds. The days are long and they are hot. So that means there's more opportunities to get outside and make the most of after work happy hours, impromptu picnics. You know what summer needs? A shoe that's up for anything.
Starting point is 00:57:00 And that's why the Tree Breezer Flat from Allbirds is breathable, super supportive, and it can keep you comfortable from morning to night. So the Tree Breezer is a ready-for-anything flat that's made from breathable tree materials. Eucalyptus fiber is moisture-wicking, it is odor-reducing, and it is perfect for hot days. Or if you're just a girly who's prone to moisture in her shoe. Like some of us had to put like spray in our shoes growing up. Like some of us are just, like we have these problems. And the Tree Breezer is great because the ribbed collar is movement friendly.
Starting point is 00:57:28 So they're super, super comfortable. And it feels like the, the shoe was literally designed for your foot and they're so easy to clean. You can throw them in the washing machine, air dry it for the perfect refresh. The fact that like their shoes that you can throw in the washing machine is so revolutionary.

Starting point is 00:58:10 yeah but we're it's quiet all's quiet all good all good all good okay our fifth and final story Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Diana Jenkins donates a hundred thousand dollars to Tom Girardi's alleged victims Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Diana Jenkins announced on Wednesday that she made a one hundred thousand dollar donationardi's alleged victims real housewives of beverly hills star diana jenkins announced on wednesday that she made a 100 000 donation to the alleged victims of tom gerardi her co-star erica jane's estranged husband who is in legal hot water the wealthy philanthropist claimed in a post on instagram that she was not aware of the 2018 lion air 610 flight tragedy until it became a topic of conversation on beverly. She recently became a full-time cast member. She said, I feel so much sympathy for the widows and orphans left behind. I know firsthand the pain and suffering that accompanies the loss of a family member,
Starting point is 00:58:52 having lost my brother in the closing days of the Bosnian War. I want to do what I can to support those people who suffered so much. See, I thought this was so interesting because I truly just cannot tell if she's doing this to make Erica look bad or to support her as a friend. Cause they're like really good friends. They took a trip, her Rinna and Diana, um,
Starting point is 00:59:12 to Hawaii, like after filming, like they're good friends. So Erica commented on the post, like a bunch of hearts, but then I think some of the other cast members feel like perhaps it makes them look bad because they didn't do that. They didn't.
Starting point is 00:59:26 And if any of them like have supported. I don't know. It's weird the Erica part. But it's like, oh, I just found this out and I'm going to donate to the victims as opposed to like the other women who found this out. Like I've known for years and it never occurred to them to check the GoFundMe. But I. Is there a GoFundMe?
Starting point is 00:59:44 No, I don't know. And it's not on these random women to fix Tom Girardi's. But at the end of the day, like charity is charity and they all have like a ton of money, like $100,000 to Kyle Richards is not a lot. Yeah, it's an interesting move. And I'm not caught up on Beverly Hills. I do want to get caught up, especially since now
Starting point is 01:00:02 they're apparently in Aspen, which is when things start to happen. And it's like a big fight between Kathy and Lisa Rinna. And apparently it's all about 818 tequila. I'm so behind. I wanted to catch up yesterday. I have two episodes. We'll do,
Starting point is 01:00:11 I'll do a full recap tomorrow. I will be catching up today. I'm really sorry. I said I would get back on track and I didn't. Okay. I'm so curious that 818, I don't even know if I could catch up at this point, but maybe I'll try.
Starting point is 01:00:21 Uh, and so Diana, I feel like she's really the villain and she seems to be really like scary and mean. But then she does something like this and it's like. No, see, like she's been so villainized. I have to assume she has ulterior motives. Which is so fucked up.
Starting point is 01:00:38 Like maybe she just wants to help people. Right. Like she's more money than God. $100,000 to her is seriously $20 to us. Yeah, yeah. So that's why I have to watch because I don't know. Yeah, you can't, like you need to get a read on her. I need to get a read on her.
Starting point is 01:00:53 She's literally fucking evil. Like she's evil. So this is. I don't know. At the end of the day, $100,000 no matter your motives is going to go help people. So that's always great. But what does this mean for the overall story?
Starting point is 01:01:06 The plot. The plot thickens. It does thicken. It's very thick. Just like May. Thick. So those were the past five and they were quite good. Truly.
Starting point is 01:01:17 Yeah, I know you needed to know them. Robust. You definitely needed to know them. Tomorrow is our final episode of the week. It's going to be Friday.
