Good morning, millennials.
Welcome back to the toast and happy Monday that has, you know, really giving Monday energy
because we're separated.
Families have been torn apart.
We haven't been in this setup since like almost two weeks because we were in Miami, trick.
Yeah.
And we did a remote the day before.
So we are back with our frames.
Nature is healing.
Yes, the wind's coding is coding.
How's being home?
I really miss you.
I really miss our Pargy studio.
I miss being near the beach,
but it's been so nice to be in my own bed.
I can't lie.
Like you could take me to the most magical of places,
like a free trip where I have a butler.
It could be the best trip in the world,
but that trip doesn't have my bed.
And at some point I'm gonna wanna go home.
Yeah, how was the hotel bed?
Sometimes hotel beds are the best bed you've ever been in,
but a lot of times it's scratchy.
Well, when your needs are as specific as a pregnant woman,
it's hard to just like flop around in another person's bed.
Do you know what I mean?
You have your things.
Like at home, I have a lot of different necessities,
especially on the nightstand, on the actual bed.
It's kind of an orchestra.
Okay, so now you have your necessities.
But in an attempt to feel a little bit more,
in an attempt to feel a little bit closer to you,
I've decided to do something a little dramatic.
Okay.
Wow.
Now, if you're watching on YouTube,
you'll see I've put on my three blind my sunglasses.
Now I wanna say something.
I'm going to take them off.
I'm going to take them off.
But, but I am actually going to, and maybe I'll buy another pair. I'm going to take them off. Okay, I think, okay. I'm going to take them off. But, but I am actually going to,
and maybe I'll buy another pair
because I love these sunglasses,
but I am going to leave them here in the studio
on the table next to my microphone.
Because while we had so much fun,
and of course you can't wear sunglasses forever,
it's not feasible.
I do feel like these sunglasses gave me
like a sense of bravery I haven't had
in a really long time.
Just kind of speaking my truth and saying things
that I might not normally say like Bonnie blue is a whore.
You know?
And I feel like it was due to like the shield these gave me
kind of like blocking out the haters.
So if there's ever a time I need to say something
a little brave, I can put on these glasses
and find the courage.
Like your invisibility cloak.
Exactly.
So I'm not gonna wear them the entire time
but I'm just letting you know,
first of all, everybody wants to know where they're from.
They're Orium Collective.
Yeah, we support influencer founded brands here
and toaster founded brands.
I'm going to leave them here.
And also my face is getting like a little big for them.
They're like, they're my sunglasses I wear when I'm skinny.
So that'll be in a few months time.
So I don't really need these right now.
Just there, I can leave them in the studio.
Okay, good.
Cause I was gonna say like,
I do need to be able to see as much of your face as possible
since our presences and our auras are not physically together.
So I was going to be on the side.
I know, and I wasn't-
Which is the side I never wanted to be on.
I'm not gonna be,
I'm not gonna be wearing them full time.
And also people don't realize kind of the challenges
that come with wearing sunglasses indoors
for like 75 minutes.
It kind of gives you a migraine,
especially when you're wearing a slick back bun
and headphones.
Like it's just a lot of pressure on your temples.
So I did what I had to do to feel-
Your body is a temple.
To feel my best.
Now that obviously the scars from my facelift have healed,
I can remove the sunglasses and not feel shame.
Great. I'm so happy for you and your sunglasses
and the bravery, it's a brave new world.
And you know, we're obviously different
because you don't need a pair of sunglasses
to say brave things, but I do.
So it's just, there are two different types
of swirlies in this world, you know?
It's true, it's like a blankie.
Correct.
Some people need their blankie. Now we have like a big show today because it's Monday which means's like a blankie. Correct. Some people need their blankie.
Now we have like a big show today
cause it's Monday which means just like verbal diarrhea,
lots to talk about.
Yes, a lot to catch up on
since we haven't been together in three days.
But also yesterday was White Lotus episode two
which we both watched
and I'm fully caught up on Love is Blind.
I don't know where you're at
but like I'm loving spoiling it for you
so you're just gonna have to deal with it.
You're fine to spoil it for me.
I try my best to watch stuff, and I got-
They're so hard to get through.
I maybe cumulatively got through another whole episode,
but it just takes forever.
The episodes are so long, and I had the busiest weekend,
so all my spare time that I could devote to it, I did,
but then last night I had to watch White Lotus,
and then that was that on that for me.
So I probably made like very little headway,
but I just know like I spent all my time watching it.
I just didn't have a lot of time.
So White Lotus's blind recap will be at the end
of today's show.
So if you're looking for like a full,
I'm fully caught up on Love is Blind
and I'm gonna do my best to stay on top of it.
But I hear you, it is so fucking dreadful.
I watched so much Claudia and I watched nothing.
And five minutes went by. Yeah, it's thick, it's dense, is so fucking dreadful. I watched so much Claudia and I watched nothing. And five minutes went by.
Yeah, it's thick, it's dense, it's dreadful.
I'm enjoying it, but it's dreadful.
And I'm only watching things
that you've already told me about, so I'm so behind.
Well, Jackie, just wait,
because now TikTok has entered the chat.
There's a TikTok that goes viral in real time
about one of the castmates and like they talk about it.
Wait, I'm obsessed.
I'll get there.
So it's a good season.
Do you take back what you said?
No, no, it's not a good season.
And this is what it really boils down to.
This isn't spoiling anything.
At the end of the day.
No, I'm saying, but I'll save all the spoilers.
So like it'll be in the timestamp.
So I'm not spoiling anything right now,
but at the end of the day,
this season they can do what they want.
You know, they can do what they want.
They can try as they may,
but it is inherently bad because this is an extremely uncool,
uninteresting group of people.
And that's really like,
you can only do so much with editing or whatever,
with just a group of really, really regular people.
Like there's nothing,
honestly, Joey is a character, like he's special.
I've never met anyone like him.
Other than that, like they're all,
it's like, put them in a lineup.
I couldn't, they look alike, they act alike.
They're just very regular.
Yeah.
And there's only so far we can go.
Okay, well, we will recap that
at the end of the show, not right now.
Yes, no, no, not right now.
We would never do that right now.
I wanted to talk about something.
I actually meant to get your opinion on,
because I of course remember you talking about this
when you were at my stage of life and I wasn't listening.
Okay.
But my lease is up.
On your car?
Yeah, in like two, three months.
Oh my God, you need a Jerry.
I fear I must- Do you have a Jerry?
No, I fear I must transition
to somewhat of like a mom car, you know?
Your car is not a mom car. My car's an SUV, which makes me to somewhat of like a mom car. You know? My car is not a mom car.
My car is an SUV, which makes me think it's like a mom car.
But I like to think I'm the type of like mom
who's gonna drive a Range Rover, but like, let's be real.
Like I need a, I need a mom car.
Yeah. Also the car's too high up.
Like how, like, if you should give a Duna, oh my gosh.
You would have to be tight and fury to pick that thing up.
It was the perfect car for like this very cool phase
of my life, you know? But I'm becoming different. I was in high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high,
high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high,
high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high,
high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high,
high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high,
high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high,
high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high,
high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high,
high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high,
high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high,
high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, Mom car. And I'm looking for suggestions. So people love the Volvo.
That was like what I almost thought before I was put on
to Tesla.
I was probably going to get the Volvo mom car.
And you're saying it like Volvo.
What is it?
Volvo.
So Volvo.
Volvo.
Volvo.
You're saying Volvo.
But you know, the car mom is a toaster and she,
I got to watch some of her videos. She can be your Jerry. No, you're saying Volvo. But you know, the car mom is a toaster and she will- Yeah, I gotta watch some of her videos.
She could be your Jerry.
No, she'll hear this and she will,
she gave me like a really long review.
So the car mom is like this influencer
who does like really in-depth reviews
of every different car, like for different moms,
like here's helpful things that'll,
but she doesn't cover like the,
like I need also the cool factor.
No, no, she reviews like the cyber truck
and evaluates it from a mom's perspective.
Like she will give you like whatever car you want.
I'm trying to think,
I guess like a real like the coolest mom cars are like,
you know, the Escalade.
So I was thinking, I also saw a while ago,
Rach Parcell talking about her mom car,
which was like- The Lincoln Navigator.
Yeah, it was like this brand new Lincoln Navigator.
It looked like, like a limo.
Like it was so sick on the inside inside and that stuck with me too,
but are Lincoln safe?
I don't know.
Yeah, you'll have to look into that,
but also Escalade take a bit much for one child.
Yeah, but it's also me and Ben
and me, Ben and child while we're technically-
And Ben's golf clubs.
By the way, yeah, yeah.
So that's four human beings.
And we really take up a space of like six.
So you're right.
Maybe an Escalade is exactly what we need.
But what happens if, you know, God willing,
we have a second child, like we wouldn't fit in the Escalade.
What about, and then parking,
like that's gonna be a bitch to park.
In New York City, the bigger your car,
like it can double your parking costs per month.
So it's a lot of things to consider.
And then like some people would do like a Porsche Cayenne.
Okay, so I would love to be a Porsche Cayenne kind of mother.
I can't lie.
It's just like a little expensive, you know?
I'm so mean.
How much is it?
Dollars and cents, like what do you think it is a month?
I don't know, it's a Porsche.
It's a Porsche.
I know, but I feel like that Porsche Cayenne,
it looks like a BMW X5 or whatever,
and it's just how bad you wanna be driving a Porsche.
It looks like all the other mom cars.
You just couldn't concede.
If I were to just throw caution to the wind
and get a car that's not a mom car,
but it's just a big ass car, I would get that Hummer.
The electric one? Electric or not electric, you it's just like a big ass car. Like I would get that Hummer. The electric one?
Electric or not electric.
You know, I don't care about the environment.
But do they make a,
I don't know if they make non electric Hummer these days.
Yeah, because like the OG Hummer was such a gas guzzler.
They were forced out of the market.
Yeah.
So that's-
What about a Yukon?
You know, I think there's a lot of good options out there.
The GMC?
I'm closing this chapter of my life,
like me and my sexy, cool Range Rover sport, you know?
Yeah.
Bon voyage, Range Rover.
I, like that car is so hard to get into.
It is so tall.
Yeah, it's really high up.
Yeah, especially for girls like us.
Oh my gosh.
And when we did a mook bong
and I was literally nine months pregnant trying to get it,
I'm glad that you're actually getting rid of the car
like ASAP,
cause you're not gonna be able to get in it for much longer.
It's so true.
And then also my seat is even higher
cause I have my coccidinia pillow on it.
Of course.
So there's just been a myriad of challenges
and I'm looking forward to this next chapter.
I'm looking forward to that too for you.
And it's also very exciting.
You have a really good mom car like Zach's car.
Oh my gosh.
I don't like Zach's car.
No.
So when you guys were, when you guys told me you were getting
the Kia Tulli, right?
I'm like, ew.
And let me tell you, nobody drives that car more than me.
I think it's the most amazing car.
I think it is the most amazing car.
And the inside, you would never know it's a Kia.
It looks like a Uber X, like it's a not X, excuse me,
Uber Black.
It's so gorgeous.
It drives so amazing.
But you know, you gotta be driving a Kia.
Yeah.
And that's something I personally,
like that's a boundary I can never cross.
I know, you're very much like a car snob.
I'm that, I'm really shallow when it comes,
and me, have you ever met Ben?
And you guys are such car snobs,
which is so funny,
cause like I'm not a car snob.
And I'm not saying I'm not like snobby about other stuff.
I'm just like weirdly not a car snob.
Yeah, I would say you're snobby about other stuff.
And now that I drive like a Tesla,
I feel like I'm not even in the conversation.
Like I don't even know where Tesla ranks.
It's just like on another planet.
It's true, it's true.
You're not a part of like the OG convo
with like all the different dealerships.
But I do think I once saw like a list of like cars,
like I don't know luxury cars, whatever.
I do think Tesla falls under luxury.
I would say yes.
Yeah.
No, I don't.
But I'm snobby and like I want something fabulous.
Sorry, I do.
I'm a fabulous person.
Ben is more car snobby than you.
I forgot about that.
Oh my God.
I could never like recommend.
No, no.
When Ben heard you guys were getting a Kia,
like he wasn't okay.
Well the Kia's time is almost up.
I will be devastated.
And can I tell you,
cause I remember when you did this whole car mom
conversation, which one should I get,
and you and Zach were like really,
like all the options,
like the best one was the Kia Telly Ride.
I was floored.
I'm like, you guys, you're too cool for a Kia.
And I was wrong.
I was wrong.
It's fabulous.
When we got the Kia,
I didn't even have my license yet.
So I really let Zach take the reins on the decision making
and that he didn't like the Kia had been,
the Telly Ride had been having a moment in that moment
when we were looking for a car
and he got totally swept up in the car of the moment.
And now he would admit, and he got a three year lease,
we can't get rid of this thing.
He would admit that it wasn't everything
that was promised to him.
So we're really looking forward to moving on.
But what's so funny is now that I have my license,
and now that I drive a lot, when I drive with Zach now,
now I notice, I used to think he was like
the best driver in the world.
But now I'm like noticing stuff.
Like he's kind of like on the fence
about using his turn signals.
I'm like, you've got a signal for everything, my friend.
So I agree, I'm with you.
Cause I'm like a seasoned driver
and I don't give up on signaling.
Like even the smallest thing, lane changing and signaling,
it has definitely become optional
in certain parts of the country.
It's so crazy to me.
I will never be one of those drivers.
I noticed all the steps.
He's also like always so late to like get into the right lane
for the correct lane for his turn.
Well, that's like you being like new driver neurotic.
No, like we were literally at the light in the right lane,
but we were going left and he's like,
literally driving perpendicular to get into his lane.
I'm like, what are you doing?
Yeah, yeah, no, it's easy to become critical.
Yeah, so I'm sure like you've rused the day.
I used to not know this.
That's a project I'm taking on.
Very, very exciting.
I should be getting my new car soon,
which is exciting for me.
Also, we were like, we had one of those weekends
where we lived out of my car.
Like we were just out all day,
like diaper changes in the trunk,
like change of clothes everywhere.
Like it was literally our mobile home.
Nomadic.
So I'm getting another Model Y.
I love it, highly recommend,
but I won't even go there with you.
I'm sure in a few years, you'll be like,
I'm thinking about a Tesla.
The thing is, I'm sure it's a great car.
The charging, it's not for me, but mostly it's not for Ben.
And Ben's the one in charge of keeping our car
guzzling gas or having battery.
And the couple of times we rented electric cars,
we used your Tesla, he hates it.
Yeah, well you have to have a charger wherever you live.
I've never gone to a- And Ben does a lot of long distance drives, like he's driving to Massachusetts tomorrow. Yeah, it's not to like have a charger wherever you live. I've never gone to a-
And Ben does a lot of long distance drives,
like he's driving to Massachusetts tomorrow.
Yeah.
It's not for us.
It's not for that.
Yeah, sorry.
Okay.
Well, keep us posted.
Should we dive in?
Like we do have a lot, even though like-
It feels short.
No, and it feels like-
It doesn't feel ready.
Transitioning to talking about something that's not us
is like not something I'm dying to do.
And like the stories are like meh,
like I'm not like itching, like it just doesn't feel right.
I feel like we talked about one thing and that was like cars.
That's not enough for a pre-Fast Eye Bander.
I also know there are people out there
who like only listen to the show for the pre-Fast Eye Bander.
So that would mean they were leaving us.
It's too soon.
All right, I'll share a story.
I didn't even tell you this.
And if you watched my Instagram story without sound,
which I'm sure you did,
because you never listened to my stories without sound,
you missed this.
So yesterday-
Because you don't have captions on your stories.
They are not accessible stories.
I am ableist.
I am ableist, yeah.
Cool.
I am ableist.
Because honestly, when I do that caption thing on Instagram,
I talk so fast and I don't use English words like party,
that I have to like edit it.
Don't edit it.
It becomes another job.
Don't even edit it.
Just give us the captions.
We can decipher party.
Okay.
So I had a kind of a busy day yesterday.
Ben in the middle of February
thought it would be good to golf.
And I allowed it.
You know, I become very strict
about when Ben can leave the house.
But I figured like, if I gave this one,
I would get some like leeway to say no.
I hadn't said yes in a while.
So I had to busy myself.
I got a manicure, I went to the kosher grocer,
and I ended up walking, yeah that's right, like 10 blocks,
and that's not something I've done.
And I'm walking.
I know, and I didn't have my headphones or anything,
so I'm just enjoying the partiness of the city.
And I do what normal people do, I'm like eavesdropping,
there's three girls behind me, They're so swirly.
You know, they're just like girls.
They're wearing hokas, leggings, like big socks.
Like they were just, I knew they listened to the toast.
And I'm walking in front of them
and I'm listening to their conversation.
They're gossiping about a wedding.
And then they're like, by the way,
I did not like the toast.
And I was like, what the fuck?
They don't know I'm right in front of them.
And the other girl goes, no, I agree.
It was really burnt.
And I was like, oh.
Oh, I thought you meant the toast
that like the groom made at the wedding.
Oh, oh, I thought she meant the podcast.
Well, first, of course, but then I'm like, wait, no,
they're talking about a wedding.
There was a toast.
No, no, by the way, it wasn't back to back.
So she was talking about a wedding.
They were talking about a bunch of things.
And then it was like silence.
Was it a Moroccan wedding?
She was like, I didn't like the toast.
Maybe they were coming from a meal or something. And the other girl was like, yeah, it was in silence. She said, by the way, I didn't like the toast. Maybe they were coming from a meal or something.
And the other girl was like, yeah, I was really burnt.
And at first I like, my heart stopped.
I'm like, oh my God, am I about to like notice
people talking shit about me in real life?
Like, cause you know, sometimes you hear things
that are not meant for your ears.
Yeah.
And I'm like, oh my God, what are they gonna say?
Yeah, that chubby one is so annoying.
Like I didn't know what they were gonna say.
And I actually wanted to cross the street.
And then I realized they probably don't listen
to the podcast, not everything is about me.
And the word toast like does exist
in other universes besides my own.
So they were just complaining about burnt toast?
Yeah, I think they just came from brunch.
It was like a Sunday at one.
Okay.
So maybe they were like recapping the meal.
But they still like this show, hopefully.
Well, I don't even know if they listened to it,
but, and I looked just so ugly.
But not to make everything about us.
Well, it's hard not to when things like that happen.
Okay.
And something I've noticed
is I definitely like have given up a little bit
on like my forward facing looks
when it comes to just like random things, you know things. I don't have so much energy these days,
so I'll get dressed for the toast,
and that's pretty much it.
Like if me and Ben go out to lunch, I can't.
And-
Gotta let the skin breathe.
100%, it's the biggest organ.
Like me when I leave my house,
like shit, you gotta let the skin breathe.
Wow, Trini, you look terrible.
I'm letting my skin breathe.
Skin's breathing.
And the last couple of times I've run into toasters, They're like, oh my God, I didn't recognize you.
I recognized Ben.
And like they meant it very harmlessly.
They're like, oh, oh my God.
I'm like, I saw BSC and I knew it was you guys.
I'm like, oh, what?
What not to say.
I was like, you're a fucking bitch.
Yeah, yeah, what not to say.
And like a couple of girls said it.
And I was like, wait, do I look different?
Yes, I do.
I'm like not trying. and my hair isn't done.
Like I'm really phoning it in
unless I'm on camera these days.
Whereas I used to like have so much fun.
Let's go to lunch and like blow out my hair.
No, I didn't recognize you.
I saw BSC.
Rude.
I'm BSC.
So done with him.
Yeah, no, I had a Saturday like that, like yucky.
Well, my skin was breathing and that was good.
Okay.
And I was going, I went out Saturday night.
Not only was my skin breathing, my hair was-
I didn't even tell you I went out Saturday night.
Do you know that?
You went out?
You didn't even post anything.
I know, because like I didn't have my files in order,
but I might post it like tonight.
Saturday night and we in the spot.
Where'd you go?
Don't believe me, just watch.
I went to a charity event.
My friend Erica invited me.
Okay, that's not like going out.
I thought you like went to a club.
Oh my gosh. Or like a bar.
No, no, no.
I went to an event.
I was out there.
You did a cocktail?
No.
You didn't go out.
Because I was driving us home.
I said, Zack, you could drink.
I'll drive.
Oh, okay, okay.
And I'll turn.
I'll use my signals.
Did Zack get wasted?
I'll use my signals.
Did Zack get wasted? No, he didn't. He actually wound up driving us home. Oh, that. And I'll use my signals. Did Zach get wasted? I'll use my signals. Did Zach get wasted? No, he didn't.
He actually wound up trying to get his own.
Oh, that's really funny.
I maybe twice in my lifetime have I seen your husband
like truly wasted.
Yeah.
One time, maybe three times actually.
One time was your wedding,
where he like got up and wrapped, amazing.
One other time was at stage coach
where he took like a lobster roll to the face.
And the other time was like somebody's birthday party
like early on when we all met.
It's only been three times.
And it was so much fun all three times.
Yeah, it is fun.
I would love to see that again.
Maybe one day.
Let's roofy Zach.
We're kind of in the same boat now of like-
You and Zach?
Yeah, you know, we got shit to do.
I know up early with the kids, like who needs that?
Can't be doing that.
So anyways, that's why I went free of fotch on Saturday
because I know I was getting ready Saturday night
because I went out.
Yeah, so the next time you're feeling ugly,
not only can you say you're letting your skin breathe,
you're also repairing the heat damage to your hair.
Right.
I have a hair mask in, like you just,
it's somebody's business.
No, it's really not.
So now, without further ado, I guess.
I guess.
Well, I am really excited about our lead sponsor.
Actually, there's something that,
there's a couple of things we need to talk about.
So without further ado, it is time for the Fast Five Stories
that you not do need to know.
And you not do need to know about the new Netflix show
that you and I were just talking about
that is today's lead sponsor.
I'm so excited.
So Running Point is Netflix's new comedy series
from hit maker and personal role model, Mindy Kaling,
starring Queen Kate Hudson.
So Running Point is an edgy, bold and hilarious twist
on the underdog comedy that features Isla Gordon's
rise to the top of one of the most iconic
professional basketball franchises
and her dysfunctional, yet lovable family
trying to block her shot.
When a scandal forces her brother to resign,
Isla is appointed president of the LA Waves,
one of the most storied professional basketball franchises
in her family's business.
So she's ambitious and often overlooked.
She will have to prove to her skeptical brothers,
the board and the larger sports community
that she was the right choice for this job,
especially in the unpredictable male dominated
world of sports.
She may not have been part of the original playbook,
but as the skeptics will soon learn,
she's calling the shots now, like it or not.
It's really fun, easy to binge.
I have to say, certain shows
have my automatic stamp of approval.
Created by Mindy Kaling, we're good.
Oh, starring Kate Hudson, our queen.
I just know it's gonna be good.
I'm so excited.
Before they were even a sponsor,
I was seeing commercials and trailers for it,
and I was really excited.
So, Kate Hudson's so funny.
She's such an underrated comedy actress.
She really does it all.
A lot of people don't know she also sings.
She and I have that in common.
So I'm really excited.
It's called Running Point,
obviously from Mindy Kaling,
who has kind of been the genus
behind some of my favorite shows, Never Have I Ever,
Mindy Project.
It will be streaming on Netflix on February 27th.
So Running Point is the show, it's on Netflix,
and I cannot wait to see it.
Today's episode is also brought to you by Wild Grain,
the first Bake from Frozen subscription box
for artisanal breads, pastries, and pastas.
So Wild Grain's boxes are fully customizable
to your tastes and dietary restrictions
in addition to their classic variety box.
They recently launched a gluten-free box
and a plant-based box that's 100% vegan.
Best of all, they take the hassle out of baking
since all of their items bake from frozen
in 25 minutes or less with no mess or clean up.
This is a company made for me.
I discovered it from Olivia O'Shea
when she first started getting into sourdough.
She used to not make it from scratch,
and it was so good because she was baking
from frozen from wild grain.
Also, I recently entered the baking space.
A lot of people don't know that.
I made a muffin.
Yeah, and it was like one of the hardest things
I've ever done.
And there were so many dishes
and I needed so many ingredients
and it was just really hard.
So the concept of buying like fresh baked wares
that you also bake yourself, it's genius.
I love it.
It's so smart.
And I feel like we were talking about it
because it's a great entry for a lot of people into sourdough.
Like if you want to be a part of that lifestyle,
but you don't necessarily have the time or the resources
because it is a full-time job as Jackie can tell you.
Wild grain is such a great resource for anybody
who's like, you know, starting to sniff around.
Maybe they're sourdough curious.
If you're ready to bring your favorite carbs
right to your doorstep, be sure to check out Wild Grain
so you can begin building your own box of artisanal breads, pastas and pastries.
So obviously when it comes to baking,
I'm like much more of a pastries girl,
but their pastas are really good too.
Ben's been making such good meatballs with them.
Yeah, pasta.
For a limited, yeah, pasta.
For a limited time, Wild Grain is offering our listeners
$30 off their first box plus free croissants in every box.

Thank you, Turt Grain.
What can I say?
Our first story, some legal news.
Ooh.
Diddy's lawyer has quit his defense team.
He said under no circumstances can I continue.
And that's like never a good sign,
but it's also really not a good sign
when that lawyer like once represented Osama bin Laden it's also really not a good sign when that lawyer
like once represented Osama bin Laden, you know?
Yeah.
So one of the-
And that's not a euphemism, I'm sorry.
He represented the late great Osama.
And from what I understand,
like lawyers don't really turn down
high profile cases like this,
like win or lose, it's how you play the game.
No, and of course, like ethically, it's like a dilemma,
but a job is a job.
And that's sort of like a thing lawyers
just have made peace with, you know?
Yeah, but I think that's also like part of being a lawyer.
I don't know what kind of oath they take,
but it's like, even if you're guilty as sin,
I will defend you.
Well, think about everyone who's ever been on trial.
Yeah, no, but also like-
Well, that's also the crazy thing.
I was watching this documentary-
You get attorney-client privilege.
So like the attorney could even know if you did it
and they still have to defend you like you didn't.
I was just watching this documentary
and I didn't finish it because it wasn't very good.
But it was about like how in the 70s,
this guy was like living in Cleveland
as like he worked at like a factory or whatever.
Turns out he was like this enormous Nazi.
And when they brought,
what were those trials called in Israel?
The Nuremberg trials?
Nuremberg trials, yes.
So a lot of people don't know this,
but like many years after the war,
when Israel became like the Jewish homeland
and they created their own government and stuff,
they hosted the Nuremberg trials.
Cause there were like all these low key Nazis
who after the war, like went on to like live lives
and have jobs
without going to jail for killing.
So they would, very famous ones, Adolf Eichmann,
he did a Nuremberg trial, he had to sit in a glass box
because somebody was totally gonna shoot him.
So this guy living in Cleveland
was this huge, famous Nazi.
They end up figuring it out, he gets extradited to Israel.
And the crazy thing about that is like,
even those Nazis had lawyers.
Yeah.
That was the point of the story.
Excuse me, I got a little off track.
To bring it back to Diddy, they could get lawyers
and you can't?
Yeah.
I'm suspicious.
No, so it's not like something that the lawyer's ever gonna
shy away from a case just because you're guilty of sin.
So this is-
And the more high profile it is, even if it's like so guilty-
That makes your career.
Yeah.
Those are, those are the types of cases where careers are made.
Yeah.
So Anthony Rico did not provide a reason for his request in which he wrote, under no circumstances,
can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs, according to an affidavit
obtained by People.
A judge will need to grant Rico's motion
before he is officially removed from the case.
Combs would still have five other attorneys defending him
in his federal sex trafficking case,
including lead counsel, Mark Agnifilio.
So it's not his lead counsel, but one of six.
Now, I feel like we all jumped the gun when we heard this.
It's like, oh my God, he knows all the terrible things
and he doesn't wanna be a part of it anymore.
Whereas it's probably something a little bit more
like administrative than that.
Like a lot of times like a lawyer will have
to recuse themselves because of like a conflict of interest
with another client.
Like, I don't know, I feel like it's more something
like that than a big scandal.
Yeah, as we said, like even Nazis got lawyers.
So I don't think it's someone who like saw too much
and is like, or even I think people are now starting
to feel like Diddy couldn't possibly win this.
Like I think a lot of stuff it's gonna come out.
Yeah, but he still would have to pay his lawyers
even if he.
Yeah, I don't think that stops you.
And again, it's like one of six.
So I agree with you that it's probably something more
inside baseball.
Or maybe this man like attended a party or something, you know?
Maybe.
And they just realized like maybe he's innocent, but one time he went to a party and it turned
out to be a ditty party with a client.
Or maybe he just found God and was like, I don't want to, but I'm sure there are godly
lawyers who defend the guilty.
For sure.
Well, I think a really godly person would say even the guiltiest of criminals deserve
a defense.
A fair trial, innocent until proven guilty, they might say.
Yeah, this isn't giving godliness.
I think that honestly, if I had to guess, like it's just something like a little, what's
the word I'm looking for?
Not a minister, a clerical?
Yeah, I understand what you're saying.
There's a lot of drama like around who can represent who.
Like maybe he's beefing with one of the five.
Think about that.
Maybe one of the five.
Oh, perhaps there's an internal conflict, yes.
Steal his lady.
Perhaps it could be a, yeah, classic case of an,
you know, an intercommunication issue.
Yeah, beefin'.
Or he doesn't want to defend a freaky ass.
No, no, because he already wanted to defend a freaky ass.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I think there's drama.
Yeah, I think it's more paperwork,
pushing papers around a desk sort of thing.
I think they went out to team Dranks
and it was the classic dear toasters
someone's man flirting with someone's lady. I'll have to check our email to see if we got any
submissions. If we got a submission from Anthony Rico. Literally we probably wrote under a pseudonym.
Fantany Fico. Oh my goodness. Are you ready for our next story which I really tried to not choose
but then just all the thoughts inside of me were bursting to the top.
Okay.
I would love to know what you're referring to.
Meghan Markle's latest set of Instagram stories.
Okay.
I did watch them without sound and I will say the content is starting to lose its luster
for me.
Like at first I was like, gimme, gimme, gimme.
And now I'm like, okay, you're in a field.
Like who hasn't been there?
You know, there are so many things here.
She posted a set of stories, maybe like six stories,
each ranging five to 10 seconds.
So like very little snippets.
And the first story said,
"'Small break from work to soak in the weekend.'
Sunshine emoji.
So it's different videos around her estate of the flowers
and then the grass and the dog running in the grass.
And it didn't matter that you didn't listen to sound,
it was just the sounds of nature.
And then there's one selfie of her that's like three seconds.
You can see that she's wearing a Northwestern sweatshirt,
which like, you know, Princess Diana famously wore.
And like, it's just a three second selfie video.
Nothing happens, but Meghan is laughing.
Classic Meghan.
So unbelievably classic.
Now I have no issue with this except for one tiny thing.
Okay.
When people say like taking a break from work
and it's like a Sunday, right?
That's when she posted it or a Saturday.
It's giving that TikTok sound.
I just finished work and it's 519.
Try being an influencer for a day.
Like we get it, you work hard, ha ha, we all do.
Like when people have to like post on social media,
like to prove that they're working hard.
Yeah, like been in meetings all day,
finally have a minute to chat to you guys.
We don't give a fuck, you know?
Sure.
I find that like in a lot of,
and mostly I find this in like other,
when I'm watching like other content creators
or influencers being like a day in my life,
I'm like, well, you definitely chose a busy day
and you are being dramatic.
Of course, sometimes I'll have the busiest day and I'm like, I should record a day in my life. I'm like, well, you definitely chose a busy day and you are being dramatic. Like you're-
Sometimes I'll have the busiest day and I'm like,
I should record a day in the life.
Yeah, of course.
People wouldn't believe what I do.
Not every day is like that.
And like the truth is, is that like most content creators,
like people who don't have really any structure
in their drives, like they don't even set an alarm.
You know?
Now I think Megan does set an alarm.
Obviously she has kids.
I think she naturally wakes up early.
She seems like an early riser.
All is that to say the little caption on the video
was giving, you know, meetings, meetings, meetings,
try being an influencer for a day.
But also this is her work actually.
Like when you say, what does Megan even do?
Like if you had to actually nail down what she does,
like it's being a lifestyle content influencer now.
So you're not even taking a break from the work.
It's more work and this is the work.
You're creating and publishing content.
Yeah, so it's not really a break,
but she's soaking in the weekend.
She's wearing the Northwestern shirt.
She's making a little chuckle to herself.
There's literally nothing.
There's absolutely-
What do you think she was laughing at?
What is anyone ever laughing at
when they're running through the backyard
filming themselves?
Like nothing.
It's it's yeah.
Yeah.
Um, totally.
I, I need her to stop.
No, I mean, it's like, just stop until the show comes because then you can post like
show clips.
There is seriously zero substance here.
And like, every time we say there's no no substance and she puts out something with even less substance
and it's just, it's like comical at this point.
I didn't even want to talk about it
because not every time she posted an Instagram story
does it have to be news, but like this was wild, honestly.
And some of the videos she was recording,
like I think she did cinematic mode.
So it was like out of focus on a flower
and then it focuses in, like it's giving Britney Spears.
Yes, so the real story here, yes,
every time she posted Instagram story,
it's not newsworthy, but-
I tried, I tried.
I know, because she's been so silent for so long
and now we're like forced to look at this like so critically,
I also find it so strange.
Like I know when you're at that level,
like Meghan Markle's launching a company,
you get the best social media managers,
the best strategy people,
like all this content is pre-scheduled, pre-published,
and the content is so bad and it really makes no sense.
And it's not like, I think that a lot also
about sometimes with Taylor Swift,
like when she joined TikTok,
it was seriously some of the weirdest content,
everybody was like making jokes
that she was like chuggy millennial
who didn't know how to use TikTok.
And you know that like she has a whole team of people
whose job it is to like source the footage
and the sounds and everything.
And it's like, how did we get with this piece of content
with how many people who had to look at this?
And that's how I feel a little bit about Megan.
It's like, this instead of Instagram stories
cost you $100,000, 1000% based on salaries
and agencies and contracts.
Oh, no, what I was gonna say is like,
it's she should spend $100,000 to get this right.
Like the way it's filmed, like I really think she filmed it.
I don't think anyone that's a professional in this would like have put it out this way.
Like she should have someone filming her picking the orange.
Like we want to see her.
I don't want to see your hand.
It could be anyone's hand picking the orange.
Like there's so many pretty ways to package this because she lives on a beautiful house.
Like I love like mindless lifestyle,
gardening, nature content, love.
Like you literally don't even have to say anything,
even though it would be helpful if you did.
So we just like know who you are, but it's fine.
You don't even have to,
but there are ways to make this like more beautiful.
It's a naturally beautiful environment.
And like, I don't know how this is such a flop.
See, I think that it's a flop
and she had all these people working on it.
Like there's no way she launched
a huge social media campaign for like after years,
like she's finally kind of coming back.
There's no way she didn't hire the best
of every agency you possibly could
when it comes to marketing,
social media management, content creators.
I can think about all the agencies in LA
who would love to like 1000%, 55 people
worked on the set of Instagram stories.
That's a crying shame.
And I still think it's just her,
like being like, I know how to do this.
I've got this guys.
Like, watch the magic.
I don't think so.
Well, I look forward to what's next.
Still looking forward to the show.
It's not looking good. All's well. Yeah, even though what to what's next. Still looking forward to the show. It's not looking good.
All's well said.
Yeah, even though, what's today's date?
We're about 10 days away.
Did I write down the new date in my notebook?
Oh, the good thing about being back in the studio
is having my notebook.
Yeah, you have to fill in Queenie and Weenie.
Even though, like, I kind of was fine without it,
but it's nice to have, okay.
It moved, okay, it went from January 15th, it moved to March 4th.
I do miss a lot of things about my life in Florida.
One, I miss sitting behind a desk.
I loved the power that gave me
and also the flattering angle.
Yeah, but these chairs are comfier.
Yes, these chairs are comfier.
I do miss my hotel.
My hotel was fab.
I know I told everyone, like I stayed at a hotel
for the first time ever
since Jackie moved to Florida and I won't be returning.
And now that I've left the premises,
I can say I stayed at the Boca Beach Club.
It was amazing.
You should like see if they want to do a,
like an Eloise sort of partnership with you.
Where I live there.
Where you could live there.
Yeah.
And be kind of like a character who lives at the hotel.
People could come and see you.
I really feel like I got my money's worth.
You know, when you go to a hotel
and like you use every possible amenity
that they have to offer.
We got your money's worth.
We got your money's worth.
Even the day she checked out, we're like,
hey, yeah, Claudia's room.
We're going to the splash pad.
Room 1101.
Jackie literally showed up every day with her family.
It's so family friendly, but also like I use the spa.
I mean, Ben ate at all the restaurants.
Ben used the golf course.
Ben took the shuttle to all the different properties.
Like we literally were like,
you know, it's like that episode of Friends
where Ross really wants to get his money's worth
from the hotel.
So he takes things from the hotel
that like technically aren't illegal.
Like he doesn't steal the salt shaker,
but he steals all the salt inside.
Like that's yours to take, you know?
That was me at the Bokeh Over Tone.
Like I was seriously, I was taking everything.
And also what they're so good about is so kid-friendly,
but they have like very much like cordoned off adult spaces.
Like it doesn't feel like-
We were at the beach club,
which is like a little bit more adult,
even though they have like a bunch of kids pools.
We had a couple like hours,
you and I have just like adult time.
Like we went to the spa.
We had lunch at the pool.
We had lunch at the adult pool.
Yeah, where Jackie was gossiping so loud.
Like we definitely got in trouble.
Was that where I was gossiping loud?
Yes, and I said, like,
couldn't you lower your voice?
Oh, sorry, we had lunch at another adult pool too.
At the beach.
When on the lawn chairs where we like.
Yeah, yeah, but you weren't gossiping there.
I didn't feel like,
I don't remember saying anything memorable there.
You didn't.
Yeah.
Anyways, good times. Good times.
Are you ready for our next story?
Whenever?
Number three is sad news.
Sad or sag?
Oh, it's sad.
But speaking of sag,
like we've made the executive decision
to just skip over the sag-afstra awards.
Like you guys barely care when we talk about the Grammys
and the Oscars.
Like we're certainly not talking about SAG-AFTRA Awards.
We didn't watch it.
And since when are people watching it?
Because they streamed it on Netflix.
I want to say, I think they actually did a good job
of trying to get people to watch it.
I saw a bunch of clips.
Yeah, I'm sure.
But I seriously think 10-
Since when are SAG-AFTRA required viewing?
I think less than 10% of our audience
watched the SAG Awards last night. And so- Great. I think less than 10% of our audience watched the sag awards last night.
And so.
Great, and I'm not a part of that 10%.
Right, so we're not gonna like do a whole recap
of this thing that like, there's plenty of awards.
We're just skipping over that one.
Agreed.
But the sad news is that.
Sad duh.
Sad duh, is that Jesus Guerrero,
a celebrity hairstylist of Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, tons of celebrities
has died suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of 34.
So this weekend-
His Instagram name is at Jesus Hair.
I feel like people probably recognize him
from like all the girlies.
All the girlies.
And then this weekend news of his death
came out on Instagram from the family announced the news
in a series of Instagram stories on Sunday.
And then I'm sure you saw everyone's favorite celebrities
posting about him.
He was just like, apparently,
obviously very talented hairstylist,
like an amazing person, an amazing friend.
Like people are, the community is really torn up about it.
And it's very, very sad.
And it's so sad, but then like,
there also was some, like a very unverified drama
about the conditions around his death.
Apparently he had like fallen ill while traveling abroad
with a celebrity who these unfounded rumors said was J.Lo.
And-
Just cause like a few days ago he was in Dubai with J.Lo.
In Dubai with J.Lo.
And he got very sick.
With pneumonia.
And the rumors were that like J.Lo left him behind.
And actually it's been cleared up that like,
no, they got him back to LA.
They got him like proper care,
but he ended up getting pneumonia.
So I don't know what the real conditions
around his passing are,
but there was some drama trying to be made.
Then it was quickly cleared up.
I'm not entirely sure.
Yeah, but I think what is somewhat known as that,
he fell ill and then passed away of pneumonia.
Abroad.
Yeah, abroad, but he was able to make it back
and whoever he was with like did everything they could
to get him back to get proper care, but he still passed,
which is just so sad.
So, so sad.
People are saying obviously the nicest things about him,
but just he seems like someone who's just, you know,
larger than life.
Yeah, and who like really was like people kept around like one, cause he's obviously talented, mostly because like he's just larger than life. Yeah, and who really was, people kept around,
one, because he's obviously talented,
but mostly because he's just got great energy.
Yeah, so just-
That's really sad, and he's so young.
Yeah, sad passing.
Yeah.
Are you ready for our next story,
which is some happy news?
Yes.
It's actually some very happy news.
I don't know if you've seen this.
You probably have.
Dolores- Did it just happen?
Delores Catania's son, Frankie Jr.
Oh my God, of course I've seen my best friend,
Frank's son getting married.
Frankie Jr. is engaged to his girlfriend, Nicole Perico.
They posted photos of the engagement.
They got engaged on February 22nd
at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City.
So there's a lot to note. They're so Italian
One like Frankie jr is engaged like he did not mess around how old is he? He's still he's young. He's young
But he is serious. He's 26 which like nowadays, you know young that's young for a guy
They got engaged at st. Patrick's Cathedral. She is so beautiful
I don't even know he had a girlfriend. I don't need to know anything more than these pictures
to know that like they are a match made in heaven.
I agree.
I was so shocked to see this one
because he is relatively young.
Two, he's Frank Catania senior son,
who's like an endless playboy.
So I just thought like maybe that was gonna be
Frank Jr's life.
I loved to see this obviously, that should be me.
But if it can't, I'm so happy it's this girl.
What's her name Amber?
Nicole, same thing.
So thrilled.
I feel like Dolores is kind of having an amazing year
with traders and everybody's loving her.
She's crushing it.
Now personally, things seem to be going really well for her.
I was thrilled to hear this and it does remind me
about the issue at hand of New Jersey.
And did you see last week,
there was like a rumor that came out.
That three people have made the cut.
And they were Teresa, Melissa, and Dolores?
No, I think it wasn't Teresa.
And then I saw that Teresa was getting her own show.
Getting her own show.
So it was Melissa.
Dolores, who was the third?
Hold on.
I don't know.
I saw too, it was like unverified.
And Rachel Fuda had her baby.
I saw.
Yeah, the claims were that Jennifer Aiden,
Margaret Josephs, Rachel Fuda, and Danielle Cabral
had been fired and that Melissa and Dolores
would be moving forward in the new season
while Teresa would be giving a spin-off.
For sure, there was a third name though.
I'm with you.
Yeah, there was, right?
There was a third name.
Okay, thisrealitybook.com.
Posted me as Rachel Fuda.
But then a spokesperson for Bravo said
no decisions have been made for the casting around Roanj.
Even though I feel like that's kind of like a legit rumor.
I agree, like maybe the absolute decision hasn't been made,
but like this is like what's transpiring.
Although I do think, and I'm obviously biased
because I'm friends with her,
but that Margaret should be on the list of people who stay
because like say what you want about her, love her, hate her.
Like she is a polarizing housewife who like makes shit happen.
Yeah, I totally agree.
But she wasn't the third name, she was not.
Cause I remember it being like, oh damn, no Margaret.
Yeah.
Who the hell was the third name that I,
I'm glad that you saw it too.
I'm so happy for Frank Catania.
Yeah, me too.
I'm so happy for this girl.
Hearts are breaking everywhere.
Yeah.
He's kind of a dreamboat for a lot of young gals.
But I love that he's like, you know,
in a committed relationship at 26.
Like you wouldn't expect that from him.
I don't know why.
Right.
No, just cause kids these days, you know,
they don't want to settle the age down.
Like not him getting married before his dad.
They want to have their cake and eat it too.
It's true.
And he's shirking that.
I love it.
I love it as well.
Mazel Tov.
Mazel Tov to the Catania family.
Is Delores, wait,
Delores Catania.
She has her married name.
Yeah.
She's still old school like that.
The Catania Perico families.
Well, what's her name gonna be?
Amber Catania.
Nicole Catania. Yeah, right. Couple of strong Cs. That's kind of, yeah, I was gonna say, it's her name gonna be? Amber Catania. Nicole Catania.
Yeah, right.
Couple of strong Cs.
Yeah, I was gonna say, it's kind of consonant heavy.
Nicole Catania.
No, it's perfect.
She was born for it.
Oh, you know, me and Ben are watching Desperate Housewives
and we're almost done with it.
So we were talking last night, like, oh my God,
we're gonna be so sad when it's over.
Nope, Ben likes it more than me.
Like it is, and he had seen it before,
but you know, not for a few years.
And so we were saying what we were gonna do next.
And I realized upon discussing with Ben,
Ben has never seen Friday Night Lights.
And I think that's what we'll tackle next.
That's good.
And I was like, you don't know
Clear Eyes, Full Hearts Can't Lose.
He was like, I mean, like I've heard of it,
but I don't know what it's like regarding.
That's good.
Yeah, I think he'll really like it.
Texas forever.
He will love it.
He will love it. He will love it.
You will love it.
Like literally one time Jackie's kid said that.
Like if you guys don't know,
we've been saying that a lot recently
and we forgot to give context.
Like one time we heard Harry say,
you will love it.
And we never were the same again.
So you will love it.
Ben will love it.
Ben will love it by the way, Harry's right.

Today's episode is also brought to you by Skims.
So Skims bra and underwear,
and just like their entire collection of intimates,
are truly some of the best that I've ever owned. My top drawer is slowly becoming all Skims. So Skims bra and underwear and just like their entire collection of intimates are truly some
of the best that I've ever owned. My top drawer is slowly becoming all Skims. Oh, I'm wearing Skims
bra today. I would show you, but it's not that type of show. I am very particular about my intimates.
I always have been, but I have definitely new needs. My breasts grow probably one size every
month. So I'm constantly churning out new bras, but I also can't just be wearing any regular bra.
I need really comfortable bras. I'm not wearing underwire right now.
Same with my underwear.
My underwear's just not to overshare.
Like, I kinda become disposable.
And so Skims has been such a great resource for me
in staying on top of all of the different needs.
Now, everybody has different things.
I was a big Skims shopper before I got pregnant,
and I found it really helpful
because they have tons of different bras
for all different boob sizes.
And they carry, I think like 60 bra sizes,
because half the key to finding a bra that fits
is literally getting the right size.
And so they just have it really,
they crush it at Skims.
Now, if I need something,
whether it's like pajamas or undergarments,
and I know that Skims makes it,
like I'll just automatically go to Skims
because they're one of like my most trusted brands.
And one of my favorite bras
and like the entire collection
is the fits everybody collection.
I wear a lot of the bralettes.
They're fabulous.
They fit everybody.
They're super comfortable, but they're still like really supportive.
A lot of the bralettes have adjustable straps, which for me is huge.
So you can shop the best intimates at skims, including that fits everybody collection and
more at skims.com and the New York flagship store on Fifth Avenue.

What can I say except you're welcome?
Our fifth and final story that will lead Say, accept, yet welcome.
Our fifth and final story that will lead into the White Lotus recap is that Sam Nivola,
who plays the little weird little brother
on White Lotus, the Ratliff family.
The freak.
Is revealing the surprising muse
for his character in White Lotus.
So he revealed to People Magazine that Mike White,
the creative White Lotus, modeled the Ratliff family
in the show after Bravo's Southern charm.
By the way, this is so amazing.
One, because I could totally see it.
And I had seen somebody saying in a tweet
that the dad of that family gives Thomas Ravenel energy.
Like I saw that a couple of, like maybe a week ago.
And I was like, oh my God, totally.
The accent is exactly the same.
So this being true is so crazy
to the person who tweeted that.
But also I feel like this is not the first time
where celebrities and actors have admitted
like Bravo's influence.
Was it Grace Van Patten who was like,
yeah, we all watched Vanderpump Rules
or I modeled my character off of like toxic Stassi era.
Like they are literally the blueprint for culture.
Yeah, no, and they're just such like interesting characters
that when you're trying to like character develop
on a show, it's like all the work is done for you.
Just study.
Yeah, and I saw Lucius Malfoy, the dad,
also talking about his accent because he,
I think is British and he has such a really
specific it's not just a southern accent they were told to do like North Carolina or something
so I bet they watched some southern charm.
Yeah well they did so the little brother told people earlier this month that he prepared
to play Lachlan Ratliff before heading to Thailand to film he says Mike White told him
to watch one of Robert's popular reality shows as inspiration for the role.
He said, Mike told us to go watch Southern Charm.
In fact, Jason Isaacs, who plays our dad,
kind of modeled his whole accent and character
off of that cast.
He went on to joke that his onscreen sister
got to skip out on the homework
because she already had it down.
She's from Alabama.
She found out through everyone else
that they were all told to watch Southern Charms.
She felt left out.
So when I think of the dad,
yes, I definitely see him as a Thomas.
When I think of the mom,
like she kind of gives Patricia a like.
A little bit.
Yeah.
And she is by far the best character.
She is totally good.
If someone's going to be nominated for like an Emmy
or whatever next season, it'll be her.
She's so funny.
The kids, I'm trying to think,
honestly, the older son is like a little Shep,
which like sounds insulting to Shep, but.
A little bit, but then he's also a little Austin
cause he's like younger.
But yeah, definitely for the accents, it's really good.
And just like-
The daughter doesn't remind me of anyone.
I'm talking more like characters.
I actually think Patrick Schwarzenegger
does like a really good job of carrying himself
in the role where he like.
Oh totally.
Just like walks like with his butt out
like a preppy guy.
Like. Yeah.
It's more than just accents.
Like it's a whole.
Being. Persona, yes.
Yeah, that must be like the coolest feeling too.
Like you're Craig and you open up People magazine
and you see this, like the biggest show in the world
and they're modeling themselves after you.
Yeah.
And the episode was like fine.
The thing is with White Lotus is
in order to really like enjoy it,
you have to watch the whole season.
So like episode by episode, it's not,
it's not like a fun show to watch week to week.
It's true, or at least it doesn't get fun until the end.
Cause like right now we're world building
and character development.
Yeah. So it's a little bit,
and people like act like,
Oh my God, that was an amazing episode.
Like, no, it wasn't.
It wasn't.
It wasn't.
Like I was bored.
Like half the time was like scenery and animals.
And then they are pouring tea.
Like it's very slow.
Okay.
And it's all about like sideways glances.
Like actually the only-
Right, and undertones.
The only group that's actually having like,
you know, fast paced conversation
where things are moving forward are the three women.
Okay, we need to talk about the three women.
The three women are-
Because let me tell you how fucking real that was.
At first when like the two girls,
Leslie Bibb and Bridget Moynihan,
were talking about the third,
I'm like, that's so real.
There's always somebody who's like a third.
And then the first episode too,
they were also like leaving her out.
But then it turns out that it's just like one of those
really toxic friend groups where like,
you're just talking shit about the other person.
Right.
And I'm like, that's also so real.
But that girl who we thought was like the initial,
and don't ask me anybody's name in the show.
The one who we thought was like the big time loser,
but then like also ended up being like a little villainy
about Bridget Moynihan.
Like I do think she's the toxic one in the friend group,
even though it's like a toxic friend group period.
The one who's staying in the room outside the house?
Yes, yes.
Oh yeah, no, but she's definitely like losing her mind.
Like, and she's also like drinking a lot at the other,
but there's definitely dynamics between all three of them,
but she is like on the edge for sure.
Yeah, and are the other two gonna start talking
about Leslie Bibb or is Leslie Bibb kind of like the-
No, they're definitely gonna start talking about her
cause she was also being weird.
Like there's things to say about her.
Yeah, yeah.
And her chicken and her beans.
No, not only that, like the Parker Posey thing,
but why would you remember spending the weekend
with somebody 10 years ago?
No, Parker Posey was weird for that.
And why was she either rude or doesn't remember? No, and also- Well, Parker Posey is on drugs, so that's whyy was weird for that. And why doesn't, why was she either rude or doesn't remember?
No, and also-
Well Parker Posey is on drugs,
so that's why she was weird.
They didn't say 10 years ago.
Yes they did.
But Parker Posey said 10 years ago to her family.
Yeah, was it not 10 years ago?
I don't know.
She might've just said that to her family
to explain why she was being rude,
but like Leslie Bidd didn't say that.
So I saw a theory that you maybe don't understand
because you didn't watch the second season,
but Portia, you know that actress, Haley, Joe Richardson? Who's Portia? So last season,
she played Jennifer Coolidge's like personal assistant. I think she gets like fired, whatever.
She's that actress, Haley, Joel Richardson, the ones who's obsessed with the Jonas Brothers.
You know her. Obsessed with? You do. Just like look her up. You know her, just.
Okay, but you can continue with your theory. So a lot of people think she looks a lot like the friend
and the three friend groups who's staying outside.
Is that Ellie?
You mean the daughter?
Yes, and so they're talking about her daughter
who's kind of troubled.
People think that that, I saw a theory on TikTok that like that's Portia, the daughter. I don't think so, because they're talking about her daughter who's kind of troubled. People think that that, I saw a theory on TikTok
that like that's Portia, the daughter.
I don't think so,
because they were talking about that girl
like she's five years old and she's like.
That's what I thought also.
Yeah, because also this girl's not still in school.
Right, right, right.
There's also like a theory going around that this.
That theory doesn't work for me,
I just want everyone to know.
Okay. That this Thailand episode is like happening
at the same time as season two.
Like they're in the same exact time period.
What about Greg?
Well, Greg leaves.
When?
Halfway through Italy.
And Greg's been living here for a year.
Oh yeah, yeah.
I guess all of these theories don't make sense.
Maybe I should stop getting my information from TikTok.
That's the thing,
we're just like kind of desperately seeking meaning here.
And we didn't even talk about how Mook,
who is like so gorgeous, I'm obsessed with,
is from Blackpink.
Do you know that?
The girl?
The gorgeous girl who works at the hotel.
No, I didn't know she's from Blackpink.
She's a member of Blackpink.
What's her name?
Her name is Mook, M-O-O-K, in the show.
But which,
Lisa.
Yeah.
She's kind of like the biggest one, no?
Yeah, well Lisa also has her own solo career.
She performed at Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
How's she doing all this?
She's also a star.
And I love that boy.
And if she doesn't make that boy her husband,
I'm gonna kill her.
Of course.
Well, now she's looking at him differently
because he had a brush with death.
Now I did see another theory on TikTok
that I actually thought was a good theory.
Okay.
So when the robbery happens,
the gate to the hotel is open
because one of the employees, Valentin,
comes in as being chatty.
And he's in on it, 100%.
Yeah. 100%.
Yeah, okay. Okay, okay, okay.
Yeah, I thought, I didn't get that on my own,
but when somebody said it on-
And he's like telling the guard,
like, I'll get you tickets.
There's not gonna be any tickets.
And like the guard was just like excited to be included.
There is no 5K.
Like, there is no fight.
There's no fight.
No, the guard is so sweet.
Like I love him so much.
There are also some theories that say Lisa from Blackpink
is like evil and like a villain here too,
but I don't see it.
No, I don't see it.
So then what's the theory about the guy
that was at the gate?
Like just that he was-
Valentin, that he's in.
Oh, I didn't realize like that that was obvious
that he was in on it.
That was obvious, yes.
Oh, okay. My bad, my bad.
What's the theory about the balding with the girl?
Another theory is that Greg's girlfriend,
like that cool girl who lives up there,
it was also in the robbery
because she's conveniently in the dressing room
the whole time.
I guess so, but if she knew the robbery was happening,
why would she say, let's go to the store?
Or if she knew the robbery was happening,
why would she leave the dressing room?
Like it's safe.
Yeah, yeah, they weren't gonna hurt her.
I don't know what the theory on the Game of Thrones actress
and the balding man is, but they're so my least favorite.
They're so boring.
Yeah, but what's with the balding guy?
Like what does he want from owner's husband?
He's obsessed with the owner's husband.
I don't know. I don't know.
Who else is there?
Like I just have questions, no answers.
Yeah, and they're leaving a lot of questions.
Like, so they're gonna have a lot to answer for.
And then of course, like the question,
like who's the shooter?
Now we didn't talk a lot about this last week
and I meant to, and then this week
they kind of pulled back on a little bit,
the Radcliffe siblings, like wanting to fuck one another. There's like a weirdness there. Patrick Schwarzenegger jerking off in front of the little bit, the Radcliffe siblings, like wanting to fuck one another.
There's like a weirdness there.
Patrick Schwarzenegger jerking off
in front of the little brother,
both the older siblings kind of being obsessed
with getting the younger sibling like to be their friend.
They're like giving like,
they're trying to insinuate something.
It's not my favorite.
It's not my favorite.
Everyone is like, oh my God, the incense vibes.
Oh my God, Mike White. Yeah. It's not my favorite. And everyone is like, oh my God, the incense vibes. Oh my God, Mike White.
Yeah.
It's not my favorite.
Like I'm just like not paying attention to it.
Even like when the two freaks are like-
Even when he woke up and the tissue was there.
When they're on the hammock, like,
well how could you ask me about my sex life?
Like seriously, I'm not paying attention.
This is so uninteresting to me.
No, not only that, and like I didn't grow up
with any brothers, so I don't know like what's appropriate.
But I know that like talking to your sister about like her losing her virginity is fucking weird and disgusting
And I was like, can we stop?
Yeah
and I just like even if they are weird and disgusting and like say the three of them have a threesome like I seriously don't
care like I'm
Don't care but that hammock in the ocean like that looked amazing
I need the Boca Beach Club to get one of those like yeah, it looked so
Parachute it did look very peaceful until your little brother comes up
and is it being annoying.
So funny me and Ben were talking about like,
cause we just got back from a hotel and we were like,
Ben was like, that place looks amazing.
I'm like, really kind of looks horrible.
Like it's not really a hotel.
It's like this wellness thing, but it also has like a beach
and Ben was like, actually, yeah, I can imagine
like having a really nice day there and that's about it.
Like you can't imagine spending a week there. Yeah, except the yeah, I can imagine having a really nice day there and that's about it. Like you can't, imagine spending a week there.
Yeah, except the wellness,
like you could just like choose massages.
Opt out of, yeah.
But the like, is it only healthy food?
It's the first time that it's,
right, it's the first time that like the show
was focused on a property that's like,
not just like a hotel for rich people.
It's like a wellness therapy retreat.
Who gives a fuck?
I think it makes it worse.
Not my favorite.
Not my favorite.
And then I'm sad for the dad that he's like going to-
I have such a pit for him.
I know, like, and I don't even know him,
but I just like want things to work out for him.
Me too, I'm rooting for him.
I am rooting, I don't know why I am,
but I'm rooting for him.
Like he did his friend a favor
and his friend like sold him down the river.
Yeah, and I don't know if he's like a good guy or a bad guy his friend like sold him down the river. Yeah.
And I don't know if he's like a good guy or a bad guy,
but like, I don't know.
I just feel bad that when he goes home, he's going to jail.
Like that's sad.
I know.
I know.
I, that's not even what I feel bad about.
Like he seems so stressed and he has like the biggest pit.
Like that's the worst feeling.
Like I feel sad for him that he's feeling that, you know?
When the lady was like, can I take your phone?
Like, and on the one hand, like, of course, no,
I have to find out like if I'm going to jail.
But maybe let's find out in seven days.
It wouldn't be so bad.
It wouldn't be.
It's happening regardless.
Yeah, but then it's like, if he is going to jail
when he goes home, should he just disappear?
Right, he has the advantage of being out of the country.
Yeah.
Now, Love is Blind.
Can we transition for a minute into the Love is Blind recap?
Oh yeah.
So there are now nine episodes out.
We get six pods episodes, one and a half Honduras episodes.
And now we're back in where they live, Minnesota,
where they've moved into apartments together.
They're starting to meet families.
Now, so many crazy, weird things happened.
Let's go couple by couple.
Jackie Taylor and Daniel Short King and Christmas Girl.
And Instagram.
Yeah, so have you seen the Instagram thing play out?
I've seen a clip where she says like, I saw them.
Okay, so you haven't seen it.
You haven't seen it.
Okay, no.
No, oh my God, Claudia, I literally am still at ibuprofen.
Like stop.
Oh my God.
Okay, so they leave the pods
and they're clearly like in a holding space.
They're at a hotel.
We wouldn't have filmed ever at this hotel.
They haven't gone to Honduras yet,
but they're just like waiting there.
And Taylor's like, it like came to me,
like where I know him from, he followed me on Instagram.
And so she tells producers
and they like set up this filming situation
where she like ambushes him
and like in this like conference room in a hotel. So she tells producers and they like set up this filming situation where she like ambushes him
in this like conference room in a hotel.
And she's like, you felt so familiar to me
and I couldn't figure it out,
but like you followed me on Instagram.
And I remember that I looked at your profile
and there was a picture of you sitting in front
of a Christmas tree with like a drink in your hand.
Like I just remember it.
And do you have a picture like that on your Instagram?
He was like, maybe, I don't know.
Like I have a picture of me like sitting
in front of a fireplace.
Like she was like looking for this one specific photo.
Then she's like, there was so much about me in my bio
that you could have gleaned that I'm a nurse,
that I like Taco Bell and that I love Christmas.
It's like, okay, well, that's a lot of information
for your bio, but sure.
So she was basically implying
that he took these little nuggets about her
and made them his whole personality
because they're both obsessed with Christmas.
I'm sorry, but if that's what you fell in love over,
then your picker was off to begin with.
So she just keeps asking him,
did you ever follow me on Instagram?
Maybe you unfollowed me,
and do you have this picture of yourself on your Instagram?
And it's like, well, if she just had her fucking phone,
we could figure this out.
20 minutes later, a producer's like,
Taylor, we're willing to give you back your phone.
Do you want it?
Or do you want to just believe Daniel, that face value?
She's like, give me my phone.
So she gets her phone and she admits,
which is so embarrassing, that she has that unfollow app
where you can see who unfollowed you because-
Does this thing still work?
Yeah, because he obviously doesn't follow her right now,
but he probably did.
So we sit there in dead silence.
But did he ever get his phone back?
No, no, but it's possible that he followed
and unfollowed her before going into the pods.
Why would he, how would he know she's going on the pods?
Jackie, the whole thing made no fucking sense.
Just wait, okay?
I'm listening.
And by that, he's acting so guilty.
Like she's like, if I open my phone
and like see you there on that unfollow app,
like he's like, well, you might.
That's the craziest part of this story that she has.
She's like, well, he's like, well, you might.
Like, I don't remember.
I don't know what you're talking about.
He kept saying, I don't remember, I don't remember.
Like so guilty, right?
Yeah, but like, I guess he probably just follows
a lot of random girls and doesn't want to cop to that.
Jackie, they make us watch in silence
and she scrolls through all the people
who haven't followed her over the years.
And she actually makes a joke being like,
damn, I lost a lot of followers.
Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling,
only for her to not find him there.
And that's it.
That's the whole scandal.
I don't know if it comes back,
but now I'm at episode nine and it's been buried.
Like, you know, it wasn't even.
Yeah.
Meaning the parents is going really well.
It wasn't a thing.
Oh my God.
She literally made it up.
I don't know, but she seems like like a little paranoid,
plus she has the unfollow app
and she's a little Instagram crazy.
This doesn't go well.
Yeah, it was so cringe.
Cause I'm like, oh, she's making a big deal out of it.
And then it turns out not to be true,
but he was acting so guilty, the whole thing. And he was like, well, if you don't want to go of it. And then it turns out not to be true, but he was acting so guilty.
The whole thing.
And he was like, well, if you don't want to go to Honduras, like it's fine.
He wasn't mad at her at all.
It was weird.
That is so weird.
Yeah.
So then they end up like actually being a cute couple.
His parents are like so in love with her.
They love it so much.
Her parents hate this whole thing, but still agree to be on camera.
The parents actually both sets of parents get together.
It ends up like being fine. I actually they actually both have to parents get together.
It ends up like being fine.
I actually think like they have a shot in hell.
I do.
Next couple I want to talk about is Virginia and ibuprofen.
I actually really liked them.
I think that they had good chemistry
and they have a good time in Honduras,
but a lot of their storyline is now about money.
She's a little bit older.
She does pretty well.
She has like a house and she's just been talking
about a prenup and he doesn't really object to it,
she's just like, listen, like why not?
There's literally no downside.
And then when his parents like hear about it,
they're definitely like weirded out by it.
Cause I hate when people are like,
well why are you quitting this marriage
before it even starts?
Like shut up.
Like I just fucking hate that.
Like a prenup is like, especially like for a woman
of a certain age, she was like built up a life for herself.
Like-
And especially getting married in this way,
like it's a gamble.
Of course.
It's a gamble.
Of course it is.
So they're like quiet.
I don't know if they have like the great love of our lives.
Like I don't think so, but I could,
like they don't give me any red flags.
They're just like boring.
Yeah, sometimes it's like,
we're just trying to make it till the end.
Don't notice us. Yeah, right, right., we're just trying to make it till the end, don't notice us.
Yeah, right, right.
And then there's Joey and Monica who like are,
you can't not notice, they are beaming with personality,
all they do is laugh and giggle,
the sock bin, the sock bin.
She tells this story that like one of the weird,
it's so funny, every family like has their thing, right?
Like, and like her family's thing is that like growing up,
like how, you know, you go into your room,
you have a drawer for your undies and socks,
like her family didn't have individual like drawers for socks.
They had this one laundry basket, like full of socks.
And when you needed socks,
he would just like go to the sock bin, you know?
He can't get over it.
He can't get over how weird this is.
He thinks it's the craziest thing ever.
They talk about it all the time when he goes to her house to meet her parents. He requires, he says, I need to see the sockman.
It's seriously so funny. So they're having like a lot of fun and like all is good, but there is
something weird that goes on with Monica's family. Monica has a sister. So it's Monica's parents,
Monica, Monica's sister, and Monica's sister's boyfriend. And they share that like Monica's
sister's boyfriend and her met because he actually was talking to Monica.
And then Monica was like,
I actually think he would like my sister.
So they didn't like date or fuck, but like they were,
you know, they met romantically.
That's kind of nice.
It was, yeah, it actually made Monica look really good.
Yeah.
But it becomes very clear that there's like,
like a weird relationship between her and her sister.
Like the sister feels threatened
or like Monica would be getting married now
before the sister.
And Joey actually says,
cause the sister had a problem with Joey.
You know, like, I don't know.
I don't think he's good for you or whatever.
And it's like, there's nothing wrong with him, you know?
So they're recapping afterwards and Monica's like,
she just like always has problems with people I bring home.
Like don't take it personally. And he's like asking more about that. And hepping afterwards and Monica's like, yeah, she just like always has problems with people I bring home. Like don't take it personally.
And he's like asking more about that.
And he just very boldly was like,
do you think your sister's jealous of you?
And like she so is.
Like it was so, he kind of diagnosed this family perfectly
and it was very brave and Monica was like,
oh, I don't know, I never thought about it that way.
Like maybe because of the weirdness with the boyfriend.
Can I ask a crazy question?
Yeah.
Like what does she look like?
Like. Monica's prettier a crazy question? Yeah. Like what does she look like? Like.
Monica's prettier than her too.
Okay.
So Joey just sort of like said something extremely brave.
Yeah.
But also a hundred percent correct
cause it was such a weird vibe.
And Monica's so like really very lovely girl,
very positive laughing.
But there was like a weird vibe with the sister.
And we're like, what's going on?
And then Joey said it, I'm like, oh yeah, that's it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Especially cause like her boyfriend used to like Monica.
It's weird.
Yeah.
But then in the trailer,
it seems like Joey stops being so into Monica.
Like right now they're in a good place,
but she just in the trailer,
she's like, I feel like I like him more than me.
I feel like the trailers are so misleading.
Like remember when they had us thinking
that Jimmy slept with Jessica after he was with Chelsea
and it turned out it was just about his girlfriend
from the path, like his friend girl.
There's so much.
She probably was talking to someone just being like,
I feel like I like him more than me.
I feel like I like him more than he likes me.
Just because I like him so much.
Yeah, I mean, fine, fine, fine.
Let me see, yeah.
Because I actually think that they're a good couple
and they like actually make me and Ben laugh.
Like they're really sweet with one another.
And they're one of the few couples that had sex.
So I'm gonna cut to Dave and Lauren next.
And we'll get into like our whole thing.
That's like the arsehole and the nurse.
Yeah, the arsehole and the nurse.
So when they're in Honduras,
they get together one time with the whole group.
Dave and Lauren?
Yeah, everyone, no, the whole group gets together once.
Have we moved on?
Yeah, I'm moving on.
Okay, consider us moved on.
So Dave, when they get together, Dave has told us,
I hate that they wake up after the first night
and they don't just tell us if they had sex or not.
Like, I'm sorry, I know it's like invasive,
but you should have to tell us.
Like, I'm curious.
They don't, and me and Ben are like guessing,
you know, you can tell a little bit.
Dave, when they all get together,
goes up to every single person and is like, you fucking?
And I really appreciate it.
Even though like, I was curious, I would never do it,
but he wasn't having sex.
So I think he wanted to make sure that like,
that was normal.
So what we find out is that the liberal and the Christian,
that's, I can't remember anyone's names.
Oh, the girl and the guy.
Gay sister and Christian and the Catholic.
But I barely believe in God.
Social causes and church.
They had sex, which I found really shocking.
Joey and Monica had sex.
And I think that's it.
Dave and Lauren did not. Virginia?
Virginia did not.
Those are all the couples, right?
No.
Oh, Shorty.
They did not.
Because they were working through
like that weird Instagram thing.
Like even though after that,
she shouldn't just like, you know,
to talk about something else,
she should have just started fucking
so that he would forget that weird thing she did.
Shorty.
So at first I'm liking Dave
because I feel like maybe he was misunderstood
a little bit in the pods
because he was being like-
Inarse.
Inarse in the pods
and then he was being really sweet with Lauren
about whenever you're ready to have sex, take your time.
He was being very patient.
Okay.
But then they get back to Minneapolis
and things immediately go wrong.
Cause it turns out that like before the trip,
excuse me, before the pods, Lauren was like seeing a guy.
Like very casually, like probably just fucking, you know?
And I think they hung out like maybe a week before
she left for the pods.
And this guy is actually kind of connected
to Dave and his friends.
So Dave's friends, they're like mutual friends.
It's a small town.
So Dave's friends tell Dave being like, yo.
And when I love that for the teacher.
Right.
So he goes.
So he goes, the teacher had it in her.
So Dave's friends are like,
Lauren is like seeing someone.
They're really trying to make it nefarious.
And so Lauren's like back is up against the wall.
She's like kind of being forced to explain this.
Like she just was having sex.
And she does, she was like, okay, yeah.
Like we hung out like a couple of times.
She actually used to date this like girl that we worked with.
Like we got ice cream.
Like she was just like forced to share
like sort of uncomfortable parts of this thing.
Like nobody wants to admit that they were just like
fucking some guy.
And he is just like so disturbed by it.
He can't get over it.
And he doesn't believe her.
He believes his friends who are saying like
she was in a full blown relationship with this grifter
before the trip and wanted to become famous.
Like, and she's like literally having to defend herself
so hard and it just like doesn't go away. Cause he's like literally having to defend herself so hard.
And it just like doesn't go away.
Cause he's like acting weird for like a whole week.
And he's like, it's this thing with the guy.
I can't, and the guy lives in the building
that they just moved into.
It's like, it's this huge building and it's a small town.
So it's like, she's, they're supposed to like, you know,
get their friends and family together,
but like it gets canceled
because like they just keep fighting about it.
And it's becoming very clear cause there's nothing here.
It's so, she's not like that.
You can tell she's, it's so nothing, but he doesn't stop.
And now my-
He's using it as an excuse.
Yeah. And he's like, well, my sister knows about it now.
And he's been like obsessed with his sister
the whole fucking time.
Even in the pods, my sister likes that music too.
Yeah. And my sister and I kiss.
Like,
I think you really get along with my sister.
Yeah. We also use tongue.
Like there's seriously like something weird going on
with the sister.
And then when the sister hears,
the sister's already skeptical about this whole process
and about Lauren in general,
but the sister hears this rumor about-
I already knew the sister was skeptical about the process
cause Dave told me.
And once the sister hears about this big scandal,
it's like setting them back so much.
And it's like, Lauren is really well-meaning
and he is not. And it's actually painful to watch her like defend herself so hard and just be like,
not believed. And he's like, I don't, he literally was like, I don't believe you. He's like,
I believe my friends. Well, yeah, you have to trust the person that you're with. And even if you have
nothing to go on, like you have to believe them until they give you a reason not to. So if he can't
do that, it's not a relationship.
So they need to break up immediately.
In this previews, Molly comes and you know.
He sees Molly.
Yeah, he sees Molly.
A lot of theories that like he looked at Molly on Instagram
but I don't think that Lauren and Molly
are so different looking than you would look and be like,
oh, I gotta leave Lauren to get to Molly.
They're both very pretty girls.
Like they're not one more extraordinary than the other.
Yeah, but I think it's just someone who's like,
just wants his cake and eat it too.
Like it was always gonna be looking at the next thing.
So unless like the other girl was like much less attractive,
he was always gonna be like,
hey, what's going on over there?
That's like the other people.
Oh, what's going on with Ben Platt?
Oh, you'll have to wait and see.
Can I tell you?
No, but you haven't even mentioned.
Please let me tell you.
You haven't even mentioned him.
Can I tell you? And his girl.
Can I tell you about Ben Platt?
Yeah.
So Madison breaks up with Mason
because like her number one is Ben Platt
and they like have more dreadful conversations.
And then he's like, nah.
Not proposing.
Yeah, like they get to an inflection point
and he's like, I just don't think
like we're good for each other.
And she's like, what?
I broke up with Mason.
And he actually said like the Mason thing
had a lot to do with it.
Like she just was so high and mighty
and like really weird about it.
And she didn't like how he treated,
how she treated Mason in that moment.
Wait, I don't feel like she did that.
Oh, I thought she did.
I thought she was being really weird with Mason
being like, you played two girls.
You don't even like him.
Sorry, I haven't gotten to that part yet,
but so far I actually have respect for her that like.
No, when she breaks up with Mason,
like I saw a totally different side of her.
Oh, okay.
Cause right now I'm like,
usually people drag the two till the end
cause they're just sort of like playing both odds.
And I actually liked that she broke up with one and like made a strong choice for Ben
Platt.
I've never seen it that like you make a strong choice and then you don't end up with that guy.
Yeah. Because that he's saying, no, that's really crazy.
Like I actually liked the fact that she like early on was like, I'm going with Ben.
And I guess, I guess she did like and throw the other girl under the bus,
but I haven't gotten there yet.
So they're not in Honduras, they're not a factor anymore,
even though they show up to this party next week.
Mason and blonde.
And Meg also show up to the party.
Oh.
Well, no, not together.
No, no, no, but they'll see each other.
They'll see each other.
And I actually got from the trailer
that they had connected already. I don't think it was the first time. I think that they are seeing each other. And I actually got from the trailer that they had like connected already.
Like I don't think it was the first time.
I think that they like are seeing each other.
It's just like a vibe.
I love when there's a party.
So the last couple on the episode kind of ends
with this TikTok drama and it's about church man
and social causes.
And so she's sitting on the couch and like everything,
they're probably in the best spot.
Like everything's going really well from them.
They're having great sex.
He brings his whole group of friends to meet her
and they're like a really diverse group.
Like it was just what she needed.
No, like for real, one of the girls there was lesbian.
And I think that was really a relief for her.
Like, wow, one of your best friends
who you talk about religion with is gay.
Like it was really going well.
And I was like, you know what?
Maybe these two have a future.
She's sitting on the couch
and she's like scrolling on her phone.
And she goes, oh my God.
And at first I thought it was like gonna be gossip juicy,
like not about her.
And apparently while this was happening in real time,
so like a year ago,
everyone in Minneapolis was talking about the fact
that the love is blind people.
It's a small town.
So like that the cast is, you know,
coupled up living in this apartment building
and this TikTok goes viral of a girl crying,
being like, I'm so sick of Love is Blind casting
these terrible men who do terrible things,
like kind of using very strong words.
She doesn't exactly say who it is or what he did,
but just being like, I'm sick of it.
Netflix giving a platform to these people.
So very quickly, the investigators start investigating
and it's church boy, Ben.
Is that his name?
Yeah, that's not Ben Platt.
Yeah, okay.
And then other people start sharing their stories.
Now he hasn't been accused of any great crime.
Like she was definitely using a lot of euphemisms.
Like she was just being exaggerating,
but basically he's like a dick. You know, he like, you know, dates a lot of euphemisms. Like she was just being exaggerating, but basically he's like a dick, you know?
He like, you know, dates a lot of girls,
says he wants a relationship,
then never hears from you again after he has sex with you.
Like nothing criminal, but you know,
not good guy that you want to bring home to mother behavior.
And then a lot of girls are like, oh my God,
I dated him too and we went home together.
Like it was kind of giving, remember like West Elm Caleb?
Yeah, yeah.
Just like a viral guy in a city who like dates a lot
of girls and like promises them the world
and then they have sex and you never hear from them again.
And Sarah is in this unique spot
cause she's like her social cause.
Like she's like, well, I'm not gonna invalidate
this woman's experience.
You know, she, but you know, there's no proof.
I'm not gonna also write off my fiance because of this one video where she doesn't you know, there's no proof. I'm not going to also write off my fiance
because of this one video where she doesn't really say
what you did.
Right.
And so he was like, she was like,
have you seen this TikTok?
And he's like, yeah, he had already seen it.
So he must've had like the biggest pit until she saw it.
And she's like, do you know this person?
He's like, yeah, kind of like we dated four years ago.
And she's asking him questions about the relationship.
Like, did you ghost her?
Did you have sex with her?
And he's like, no, I didn't have sex with her.
I can't remember if I ghosted her.
She's like, you don't remember.
And so she's like grilling him.
She's really trying to straddle the line
between like not invalidating this other woman's experience
while also holding space for like, it could be a lie.
And this is my fiance and I like him,
but I also need to do proper digging.
And so she said at the end of the episode
right before they cut was like, I believe you
but like if I hear anything else,
so if there's anything else you wanna fess up
like let me know, cause if I hear something else
like I'm gonna be pissed.
And I do think in future episodes
cause like the TikTok blows up
and other girls start coming out,
I think it becomes a much bigger thing.
Okay. Yeah. Well, I think it becomes a much bigger thing. Okay.
Yeah.
Well, I look forward to hopefully getting there one day,
maybe next year at the rate I'm going.
But-
If I were you, seriously, like-
Fast forward through the pods.
No, when the new episodes come out, like just join me.
I told you everything.
No, you know what, maybe I'll just start watching
Honduras now, like, cause I wanna see that, that's fun.
No, you need to see Taylor scrolling through the unfollow app. That's Honduras. No, it's before Honduras now, like, cause I want to see that. That's fun. Now you need to see Taylor scrolling through
the unfollow up.
That's Honduras.
No, it's before Honduras.
Okay, I'll skip to the end of the pods,
but I do like to see people's reaction
when they see each other.
Cause I just know like,
do you have a chance?
You do just know.
Like was anybody, is there a physical like issue
between anyone where it's like someone is just pleased?
Where sometimes like it's so obvious
that somebody finds
the other person so ugly that they can't go on.
Or sometimes it's so obvious that someone
is more attractive than the other person.
And it's like, even if they're not acting like it,
it's like, well, we all know.
A thousand percent, no, there's nothing like that.
Everyone's very ordinary.
And I saw Nicole Byer talking about this on a podcast
and I had said it, she said it in a much funnier way,
but she's like, throw some ugly fatties in there.
Like it's really, you're like, is love blind
and everybody looks the same?
Well, we don't know.
Like it's really, it's only really interesting
when it comes to like the blind love experiment,
when there are people of varying degrees of sexiness.
Like I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Everybody on this cast is equally good looking.
Yeah, this isn't a question of like, is love blind?
I mean, the show never actually sets out
to answer that question because-
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Love is not blind.
And when you're in a pod,
like you're really just talking to yourself.
Ooh.
Like it's an actually, like, yeah,
some people have found relationships like coincidentally,
but it's not because like love is so blind. Like, cause then you could have found relationships like coincidentally, but it's not because like love
is so blind, like, cause then you could have the same
conversation with someone in person.
It's just like the way that people speak.
It's not even about what they look like,
how they move their hands, how they, you know,
squat over like it.
Who am I?
How they squat over like they're a table.
You're blind, you're love being blind.
No, I'm love.
You are love being blind.
So new episodes come out in four days.

about our beautiful, about our sunny
and about how wooooooo, kiddily talented we are.
Love you, goodbye.
I have given up on hard hands
now that I couldn't even do it with a monitor.
Now that you see that you're the problem, right?

We have video proof,
