A
On my way. Where is Mason Ramsay?
B
He's so booked and busy. And I know, like, if you don't follow him, you probably don't hear about him, but in Mason's world, like, he's doing big things and he seems really fulfilled and happy and like it's all happening. Happening.
A
I forgot that I asked a rhetorical question to the Mason Ramsey encyclopedia.
B
Happening in a really healthy way.
A
You know, it's so important that when we're raising the youth in the spotlight that they do it in a healthy way. And Mason, I think, is one of the better examples.
B
So if you, like, wake up in the middle of the night, like, whatever happened to the yodel kid?
A
He's doing just know just a rest easy.
B
He's thriving. He's making music, he's performing to fans, but not in a way that it's unhealthy. Okay, that's your Mason Ramsey update for the year.
A
Because that's all he's giving us. And that's good. That's a sign of. That's a good sign. Yeah. Well, welcome back to the Toast. Happy Thursday. Hope everybody's having a great day thus far. It's going to be a great day. It's beautiful out in New York City. I found a T shirt that fits a new one to add to my rotation. It's Ben's. It's a double xl.
B
Am I allowed to comment on it? Permission to comment?
A
Let's just see, you know things. Your emotions are so unregulated when you're pregnant. Like, let's see if I pisses me off.
B
Let's hear like, get rid of yourself.
A
Oh, yeah. And there's a picture of myself on the shirt, which always helps.
B
It's not just any shirt.
A
No, it's OG toast merch. It's from my.
B
It's. It's.
A
What tour was that? N log. Yeah, it's nine girls Merch. Merch.
B
I don't get a cut of it. That's endless.
A
Actually, I think you do like the way we had set it up. I think you did get a cut of the shirt. Not a big deal. I'm not upset. I'm not upset.
B
Like, parse it out, make it.
A
I'm obviously not. I'm not still thinking about it.
B
Head over to M. Yeah.
A
No, this shirt was kind of, like, a bestseller. There has been crazy demand for me to bring it back.
B
Loves that shirt.
A
Ben loves this shirt.
B
I love that shirt. I wore it when you performed at MSG with, like, Hannah Burner wears this.
A
Shirt every time she comes on the toast.
B
It's, like, so supportive of her, so respectful.
A
No, the first time she did it, I said, oh, she knows the way to my heart. Like, the way to my heart. This is what Ben always says, like, when we're, like, evaluating friendship, he's like, no, I'm not really into those people. I'm like, really? I love them. He's like, yeah, they're always up your ass. If you want. Like, the way the.
B
The.
A
If you were to look up MapQuest how to get to Claudia's heart, it would be directly through my ass. Like, you just have to be at my ass. Ask me questions about my job. Like, what? I'm so interested.
B
There was, like, one person that I think we all thought, like, that we liked for a long time, because, like, one time she was, like, nice to us and, like, very inquisitive about us and was set.
A
Text me who we're talking about, and.
B
I think you're gonna agree.
A
And is this, like, somebody the listeners would know, or is it a friend of us?
B
I mean, maybe, like, 5% of them, but yeah, let's see.
A
Oh, okay. She never would have come to mind for me. So you thought that.
B
I actually thought that I liked her, too, because the time that I met her, like, she was so up my butt. Like, it really goes a long way. But then I was like, maybe that's just a strategy.
A
Well, some people I think don't, like, wouldn't like that. You know, somebody who's asking them a million questions about their job, their life. For me, personally, like, I love to talk about myself. You're giving me a platform. Oh, and you think my answers are funny and interesting? Like, you're invited to every, like, event I'm ever throwing for the rest of my life.
B
Yeah, but then it's on.
A
You know, who does that?
B
It's on you to parse out if it's genuine, because anybody can do that, and they know that it's going to mean a lot to you.
A
So the person I'm Texting you.
B
Oh, no, he's nice.
A
Yeah. No, no, like. But that's why, like, I love him.
B
Because he does that. But he's not doing that.
A
But I think it's in a really genuine way.
B
Not doing it so that you like him.
A
No, he thinks that. And by the way, you guys wouldn't know these people, so it's not interesting to you. But like, when I say that if you want to be my friend, just like, crawl up my butt. Like I'm giving you a roadmap.
B
Yeah, it's true. But now, like, you have to be discerning, Claudia. Like, that's on you to not let.
A
I have to use my. My gut.
B
Users. Userous people.
A
Totally.
B
What's always so weird to me is the word usery. It always trips.
A
I've actually never used it. I didn't even know it was a word until right now.
B
Spelled so weird. U, S, E, R, Y. Every time I see it, I'm like, usury, Jackie, usury.
A
Are you seeing it so frequently?
B
It trips me up. It's tripped me up a couple times in my life.
A
A couple of times.
B
It's like that.
A
Well, now.
B
Now you got me thinking, Jackie.
A
You took the words right out of my mouth. It's even ushery. I don't think it's New York 1. When we were in high school, it was kind of like a major shift that happened in New York City. All the yellow cabs got TVs in the back of the, like. Now if you get in every single cab, in the backseat of the cab, there's like a little screen. It plays like local news highlights, different restaurants.
B
NBC first look commercial.
A
Sandy Canyon with the Eyewitness News movie minute. But there was a time before. I'm really aging us. But like before, like probably maybe the 10th grade, you were just sitting in the cab. So when they rolled out these televisions, it was nationwide news. Everyone was talking about these TVs. We thought it was so high tech, like we were living in the future. And one of the local correspondents who got really famous just because he was in every taxi TV talking about random things was this handsome young fellow, he's still on it. Named David Ashri.
B
Yeah, no relation to us.
A
No relation. Very handsome young black guy. And people would say, like, oh, oh, Claudia Ashray. Like David Usher. Usheri. I'm like, close. It's Ashray and Ushery. But we're definitely connected somewhere down the line, 1,000%.
B
Do you also remember that same time when they were getting TVs they also had this initiative, Flowers. Flowers on the hood of the taxis. They had this like. I don't know what. It was probably like an art.
A
Yeah, it was like they do that sometimes. Like the Park Avenue Conservatory. They'll work with different artists.
B
Flowers on Park Avenue, like, everyone has their beat, but for some reason, like the TLC was to paint the taxis with like beautiful flowers on the hood and like all the taxi hood. And it like took time in the beginning. It's like you would see one like, oh, I got a flower taxi. And then over the course of a few months, like every yellow taxi in New York City had a huge flower painted on the hood every two.
A
No, no, it was like a mural, like a medley of flowers.
B
Yeah, yeah.
A
I every two years look up a picture of those taxis. Cuz to me they were like the golden age of New York. And sorry, like Michael Bloomberg thinks he did that.
B
Like, what was that?
A
I don't know. Like, who paid for it? Who painted it? I don't know.
B
Why? Was it just to beautify the city? I feel like if you watch.
A
It was a beautification committee thing.
B
If you watch seasons of Gossip Girl from that time, you'll definitely see flower taxis. But I, I would love to know.
A
That was like such an era. It was like the Fashions Night out era. Do you remember Fashion Night Out?
B
Do I remember this? Fashion Tonight out. Remember us.
A
Remember us. No Fashion site out was like this one night a year. No.
B
Flower taxis were part of a series of public art projects that the Massey's have done with children in their Portraits of Hope project since its founding.
A
Harji, do it again.
B
Do it again. Do a flip. Oh my God, these taxis. Claudia.
A
No, I know. I recently looked up a photo of them. Like they're. They transported me back to such a special time in my life.
B
Yeah. Wow, that's really something. Ed and Bernie Massey. I don't know them, but thanks.
A
And Fashion's Night out, like, if you were there, you were there. It was this one night a year where all the major stores, whether it was like designer boutiques, department stores, was like every store in the city would open up its doors after hours, like.
B
After 7:00 and have these happened for like three years. It was a big failure. It was, was it.
A
I feel like it was like five.
B
Years, maybe, maybe five, but it was a failure.
A
But it was such a great, lovely, like idyllic concept. Right? All these stores would open up after hours and host like little cocktail parties for people who were like, into fashion. You could be. We were people. We were like seniors in high school. Like just randos walking in. It was so nice. It was a kind of getting to be an influencer for a day. Try being an influencer for a day. Try.
B
And then they would have like influencers there. Of course. On like, you'd be booked and busy.
A
1000% and they would have like little activations. You get like your photo taken. Like you were a nobody and it just made you feel special. I don't know how the stores made money or anything, but it was a really cute concept. Yeah. I think now like humanity. I can't see it going well. Like humanity. It'd be so much robbery. Like. Yeah, it would. Like somebody would die every fashion night out. So it's probably not worth it. But at the time it was fun.
B
No. And it's like they canceled it before it even got like it didn't go port. Like no one got robbed or anything. But it was just like not a major success. So they stopped doing it. Like, imagine doing it in this climate.
A
Something terrible would have happened to eventually end it.
B
Yeah. But I. I just think it was a waste of time and money.
A
No, it was. I have such fond memories. And we have like pictures, like, of our mom. Like literally taking pictures of us night.
B
Going to fashion site. No.
A
We were so, so excited, you guys. It was so cute. Like, it was such a sweet little thing that like these nice big stores did for us.
B
You know, we can't have nice things anymore.
A
We. Our first stop was always Bendells. Bendells, rip. Those are the. We have to find those pictures that mom took us, like with our touch. Do you know I'm talking about like by the elevator of our apartment.
B
That's when the city lost its touch. When Bendells went out.
A
Agreed. That is like they say, like a recession indicator. Like things are about to get really bad. Bendel's. Henry Bendel's closing down. Tough times.
B
Things were never the same.
A
So true. I also feel that way about California Pizza Kitchen.
B
Oh yeah. The culinary cuisine in New York was never the same. And now also the culinary scene. The culinary scene. There was two. They're both gone. The first one was a loss for the opportunity.
A
No, the first one was lost. The second one was kind of like generic. The first one was like a real local family friendly place. And it was attached to the Dylan's candy bar when that went out. Also big or such an indicator anymore. I actually walked past it the other day. You know what they're putting there and if this doesn't say at all.
B
Dwayne Reed.
A
Blinds to go.
B
Yikes.
A
Lines to go.
B
And then I would also say that the Hills. Didn't a Hillstone go out recently?
A
Yes. Hilltown, Hillstone, 54th and Park.
B
And if the other one goes out, which I don't know why it ever would, it's the busiest place in the city, and you can't even get a table.
A
If they ever go out, it's because I burned it down. Because I think their rules are so annoying about, like, getting a table. And, like, it shouldn't be that hard to get a reservation. If it ever goes out of business, it's because I set fire to the Hillstone.
B
What's crazy about Hillstone is, like, no matter who you are, you have no pull. Like, you could call your agents, your publicist. No one can get a table.
A
I know.
B
Easier than a person could get a table. Calling up.
A
Yep. No, it's so, like, communist over there.
B
There's no oligarchy.
A
I hate it. So I am literally gonna burn it down.
B
I understand, but please don't, because it's so tasty. But I do think, like, the success of the city is hinging on that one Hillstone still being in business. And if that goes, it's a lot of pressure. Down goes the city.
A
Did you watch Summer House last night?
B
Of course I did.
A
We have a TV recap today. We've got stories.
B
Our fifth and final story will lead into the TV recap because it's Paige on Watch what happens live. So that's, like, oh, great. One to the other. And I also don't want to make the episode go too long because I know how my girl gets.
A
Thank you. I also. I'm excited. Later today, I'm getting a facial. I'm just, like, treating myself.
B
I don't know.
A
I don't know why I thought facials were things like pregnant people couldn't participate in. I never bothered to look into it. I just figured, like, you couldn't do it.
B
Well, you probably can't do some of the fun stuff, like, serious chemicals. Anything actually, like, effective.
A
But I could do Hydrafacial, right?
B
The zoom off the top.
A
Yeah, the zoom off the top.
B
Yeah, I think so. I don't see that.
A
And they know I'm pregnant, so, like.
B
Yeah. And I'm sure if you can't, like, someone will let you know in the comments today.
A
Maybe you don't, like, maybe I'll find out.
B
Hydrafacial once in 19.
A
And I just did not feel safe. Yeah, no. Maybe tell me later. I'm just like, whatever before. How bad can it be? Dr. Fox said. Obviously, I know I'm not going to do any, like, lasers or whatever. Dr. Fox said there's really nothing I could put on my face that would, like, hurt the baby.
B
Retinol.
A
Well, yeah, sure.
B
You should just, like, mess with him.
A
Botox. No, no, sorry. He meant, like, skincare wise.
B
Topically.
A
Yeah, topically. Correct topic.
B
Great word.
A
Great word. Remember when we used to do Word of the Day?
B
Did we really didn't. Even though that's, like.
A
Yeah, we did.
B
We did. For, like, not in the real way. Even though that's, like, something that we should so obviously do, but we never have in a real way. And I don't.
A
This is a great one. This is a great one. Can. Miriam Webster's Word of the Day. This is a word I've definitely heard of, but, like, I have no idea what it means, and I kind of want to start using it. Ready? Ostensible. Do you know what it means?
B
No, but ostensibly, like would mean presumably.
A
So seeming or said to be true or real, but possibly not true.
B
Wait, presumably?
A
So how would you use it in.
B
A sentence like, it's ostensible that you could get a hydrafacial during pregnancy?
A
How do I do. That's kind of good.
B
What?
A
That's kind of good.
B
Oh, thanks. I didn't know if you said the opposite of that. Okay. I'm crushing.
A
Plausible. Plausible. That's like a synonym. Yeah.
B
I crushed Word of the Day.
A
You did.
B
I think the reason why we don't do, like, an official Word of the Day, why it's never appealed to us, is that in our own way, we always have a word of the day.
A
So true.
B
We are Merriam Webster in an organic way.
A
And it's really crazy that it's Miriam.
B
Today's Word of the Day, like, would have been us three.
A
Yeah. Yeah. Don't you think it's, like, so weird.
B
That her name is Miriam as opposed to Miriam?
A
Like, just change it.
B
But is that a person's first and last name? I don't think so. Isn't there a dash in between?
A
There is. I don't know what it means.
B
Maybe it's two people. Miriam and Webster.
A
Like, Dwayne Reed.
B
Like Seleno and Barnes.
A
Actually, you know, they're just Seleno now.
B
I know. Rip.
A
They're actually Seleno and Seleno. I think he brought his son into the practice.
B
Rip King.
A
Rip. I don't think he died.
B
I think they split and then he died.
A
Oh, I think you're right. Well, let's dive in because we kind of have a lot to do today.
B
You're telling me, coach? Without further ado to do to do, here are the fast five stories that you need to know.
A
And the fast five stories that you need to know are brought to you by Smart Mouth, the only mouthwatch that's scientifically proven to eliminate and prevent bad breath for 24 hours with just two rinses a day. So Smart Mouth is a brand that was developed by a dentist. Dr. Cohen was a leading expert on bad breath. He spent years researching its causes and then that led to the development of Smart Mouth's patented zinc ion technology. He, he literally wrote the the book on bad breath as the author of the halitosis section in the medical edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica. To me like this reads like a dating profile. He's a doctor, he's Jewish, he's obsessed with bad breath. He's the leading scholar in eliminating bad breath. Sign me up. Smart Bath just upgraded their bottle too. So now they each have individual snap top closures. Smart Bath is easier to open than ever before. There's no more assembly needed. It's just the same 24 hour fresh breath. But now with effortless convenience, Smart Mouth prevents bad breath 12 times longer than the leading brand. Its unique dual chamber bottle keeps our two wonderful solutions safe separate until you are ready to rinse. When you are, you'll pour the two solutions into a cup and they will activate the Smart Zinc technology that zinc ion activation is the key to eliminating and preventing sulfur gas, which is the scientific term for bed breath. And it's a secret to all day fresh breath. As someone who's extremely breath conscious pre pregnancy, but obviously now I can literally smell the insides of people's bodies. It's really important that we all be taking care of our breath. There's kind of no excuse anymore, especially with Smart Mouth out there as an option. So never had bad breath again. Find smart math at Walgreens, Walmart and Amazon. Or, or you can visit smartmouth.com toast to snag a special discount on your next purchase. That's s M a r T M o u t h.com toast.

A
To those who stuck with me. Thank you.
B
Our first story, really great news that we have been eagerly awaiting to hear, which is that Teddy Mellencamp is giving an exciting update on her stage four cancer battle after revealing the 5050 odds. So she gave an exciting update on her cancer battle. She said, I just finished with all my scans and my tumors have significantly shrunk, which doctors believe means that this treatment all will work and that I will be back to myself and feeling good. She further shared that she has two more sessions of immunotherapy and then hopefully she'll be done and cancer free. She said, I'm going to keep a positive outlook because that's the way my doctor just spoke to me. He's like, you did this, you got this. She said, I have 6ish more weeks of immunotherapy and doctors believe I will be all healed if everything stays the course.
A
Wow.
B
Wow.
A
I guess, like, seeing how you react to a treatment, like, it either could be very good or very bad or not working. I'm so happy for her.
B
Like, for real, so happy for her. I mean, the last update that we had was really sad.
A
Dark.
B
Really dark. And I had been seeing headlights, and she was, like, joking about it, but she was talking about how her dad was, like, planning her burial spot. So just, like, really, really sad stuff. And so to have a happy update is really fantastic.
A
I agree. I think about her a lot, you.
B
Know, I think a lot of.
A
Kind of like, the craziest.
B
She wasn't your fave on Beverly Hills. Maybe you didn't even watch Beverly Hills, but, like, you're familiar with her. I think her story has just, like.
A
And she's like, maybe you're a John Cougar Mellencamp. Stan.
B
Yeah. Like, she has young kids. This is. She's at young. Like, it's just a very shocking story. So I think it's, like, touched a lot of people, and I think a lot of people are just, like, wishing her the best and praying for her.
A
So this is. Yeah, I'm really happy for her.
B
Yeah, same. Are you okay?
A
Yeah. You know when, like, your baby kicks and, like, your whole body shakes?
B
Where's the kick?
A
Oh, they're everywhere. I don't even know where he is these days. I'm not even. I'm not even trying to, like, understand what position he's in. Like, I'll find out at my next doctor's appointment.
B
I feel like. I don't know if that I would feel, like, my whole body shape, but I remember, like, so many times, like, I just had a foot in my ring.
A
Well, yeah, because your baby was in a normal position. I haven't experienced that.
B
Like, I would just be holding a foot all the time. Like, and that's where I would kick.
A
No, no, I. Because I, like, rest my hands on my. When I'm, like, on my phone, I rest my hands on my belly. Sometimes I get a kick. Like, my phone goes flying. Like, that's really crazy funny. That's what I just felt like, you know, I could feel, like, I could see my stomach moving. Like, maybe I'm just, like, feeling my own. Did you guys see it on camera? Stomach moving, but I'm wearing, like, a baggy shirt. Like, I'm telling you, my whole body moved.
B
Oh, maybe it was, though.
A
Also, I've been seeing some rumors, like, about me.
B
Share. I love rumors about you.
A
Just some complaints. Like, I haven't really showed My bump a lot on the toast. And, like, maybe I'm faking it.
B
You're lying. I haven't even seen a whisper of that.
A
No. Nobody accused me. No. But people are like, charlie, show your butt. More like, no. Okay. No.
B
I haven't even seen people say that.
A
There you go. Okay.
B
I haven't seen people say that, Claudia.
A
I have. Like, everybody's obsessed. They want to see me naked. Like, they want to see my nude maternity shoot. That I did.
B
Have you been, like, sending naked pictures in the chat?
A
I have. Well, my body's really changed, like, a lot in the last, like, week or two, and it changes every week.
B
You've been sending nude photos, and I said. And so you obviously, like, have a little predilection for it. Yeah, go take maternity pictures.
A
No, I really can't, but I do. I feel like I need to be honest with you.
B
You edited it?
A
Yeah.
B
I care.
A
The photos I sent in our family chat. Just like, I wanted to, you know, show everyone. I don't ever edit my stomach. That feels, like, really up. But, like, my legs. Oh, my God. Yeah, we had. And I was in the sunlight, too, so they were looking.
B
I know. I thought it was like, you were looking. What?
A
Very cellulite. And I had to take care of it, so I don't know.
B
Is that all? You edited it?
A
Oh, and my chin.
B
What about not, like, an arm?
A
Okay. I did, like, the. The thing is, like, I feel like my arm looks good in the photo, and I did a little bit, but I think, like, admitting it, then. You think my arm is fake? Like that? Actually, that's pretty much. Pretty much what?
B
My arms? Honestly, probably the difference would only be visible to you.
A
I would say the biggest difference is my chin. I had, like, a real hanging turkey neck.
B
Okay, I'm on my way. So much goes down in the chat. I can't, like, I literally can't even find you. And for some reason, when you go to photos and images, like, not everything.
A
Okay, what is that? What the hell is that? Like, you go to a group chat and you can go to all the data and just sort by all the photos that have been posted and half of them aren't there. Yeah, more than half. What the hell is that?
B
I do not know, but I can't find.
A
So fucking annoying.
B
And I have work to do, so I can't even go look for the nude photo that.
A
I should have said it was a nude, by the way. I was wearing, like, my maternity undies and a big nursing bra, but.
B
But, like, when You're a person who never takes a nude. A picture of your bare skin. That's a nude photo. Go take maternity pictures. Like, just for you. It's just.
A
No, no, no, no. Like, no, no.
B
But you love it.
A
No.
B
Love it.
A
No.
B
Claudia, they edit you.
A
Like, yeah.
B
Star.
A
I feel like I've officially gotten, like, a little bit of pregnancy face, so if I were to have done photos, I would have done them before that. I should. Like, I. I didn't act quick enough.
B
Not. I disagree. Next.
A
We'll get them next time. We'll get him next time.
B
I. I'll tell you.
A
Oh, also, next. Excuse. Like, I'm tired.
B
Well, that one I remember. I was so. It was the most exhausting thing. You have to, like, stand on your tippy toes, too, and they're like. They know what to tell you how to pose, but it's really strenuous. Like, you're using all your muscles. Oh, my God. I came home, I ate a grilled cheese and passed out.
A
Yeah. I honestly, like, I can't sign up for something like that.
B
One of my better naps.
A
One of, like, my goal. I wake up every day and I say, I'm gonna do the toast. I'm gonna slay the house down. And that's it. Like, I. That's the one thing I need to accomplish every day. A photo shoot. I would die.
B
I understand. Modeling is hard.
A
Yeah. And as, you know, kind of seasoned models in the industry, we obviously know that.
B
Are you ready for our next story, which was a Turdy's Choice. Choice. Choice. It's a Turdy Choice.
A
Choice. Yeah. I feel like I really need to make fun of George Clooney, like, a lot, and I haven't had the opportunity. And he sort of. He brought me right on a silver platter.
B
Okay, well, George Clooney is making an unbelievable claim about his marriage to wife Amal. George declared that marriage is easy and that he and wife Amal still have never fought after a decade together. So two years after telling Gayle King the communication in his marriage to Amal is the easiest thing by far and that they never had an argument, he doubled down on the claim. On a Monday interview of CBS Mornings, he said, I remember we were here with you once before, and I remember we said we'd never had an argument. I feel so extraordinarily lucky to have met this incredible woman, and I feel as if I hit the jackpot. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't think I'm the luckiest man in the world, so it's great.
A
No, I know people, like, read this and are like, oh, she's so lucky. Oh, I could vomit. Like, let me tell you. Okay, first of all, I actually don't think that he's lying. Like, I don't think that him and Amal have actually ever had a fight. And I think that's something he really needs to stop telling people. Because you're not married, like, you have.
B
A roommate speaks to a lack of marriage.
A
Yes, like, either. And, you know, I know everybody jokes. Like, you always jump to inclusion, like, you're gay or she's a lesbian because, like, you, someone who you're actually in love with. Intimate. Building a life. They have kids, right?
B
Yeah. You're telling me you don't fight when the kids come?
A
I'm sorry, that's just a lie. Oh, no, sorry. I don't think it's a lie. I don't think it's lie. Because I don't think he's lying because he now said it twice.
B
He just lives in a different house.
A
But just shut up.
B
Has a different family.
A
Yeah, you've abandoned your family, clearly. Because, like, if even in the world's most amazing marriage, you're supposed to fight, so the fact that you're over here, that's, like admitting, like, you're not married.
B
I wonder what Jay Shetty thinks about this. He would never say.
A
I know J. He would never say. But Jay Shetty came to mind. And I also wanted to talk about this because I don't know if you've seen George Clooney, more specifically his hair recently.
B
I did. Unfortunately, against my will.
A
He ran some, like, black tar through it, and it's, like, slick and gray. I mean, excuse me. And black. And obviously, like, he's the OG Silver Fox. And so it was really jarring to see. And I think we need to make fun of him more. Like, why would he do that?
B
To pass the two of them. Yeah, they're like dignitaries, and they're, like, above being clowned on. But, like, he's just an actor.
A
No, no. And your hair is horrible, sir. Do something about it. Like, I couldn't believe what I saw.
B
That was him doing something about it.
A
It's so crazy, though, because men get such a pass, right? Like, George Clooney is the most popular, likable he's ever been. And he's the oldest he's ever been. Like, he's the. The prime example of, like, an aging man in Hollywood who only gets more attractive, you know? And you're biting the hand that feeds you. You want to look younger now. You look silly.
B
Yeah.
A
You look like clowns. Yeah, I'm kind of, like, I never thought much about it. I'm a George Clooney hater now. Like.
B
Yeah. I mean, I. I've been. I've never was obsessed. Like, I think I thought, like, the idea of the two of them was, like, really nice. It was, like, finally, big justice for Stacy Keebler.
A
Interested? Just actually. Okay. I'm so glad you brought that up.
B
No, she judged a bullet, of course.
A
Oh, did she dodge a bullet? And she's so happy now.
B
It's like Leo and Cammy Marone. Like, if he marries one day, I'll say, justice for Cammy Morone. But I'm sure, like, it's a miserable life, you know?
A
Yes. Yes. Like, we see it as an outsider. Like, Stacy Keebler put in all the work. She made him who he was, and she was a perfectly, like, good, age appropriate is girl for him. Like, there was literally no reason that he didn't marry her, breaks up with her, and marries an ex girl. Like, it was so wrong. But she. I. She comes across my social media or, like, my desk every now and then, so happy. She has, like, multiple kids. She's a really hot husband. She's fine, but it's wrong.
B
Yeah. So just to say, like, I've never been the biggest George Clooney fan, but, like, yes, I'm in my hater era now. Now everything he, like, says does what they do. It's not for me. So I was shocked that, like, you wanted to talk about them.
A
Yeah. Because I thought of it as an opportunity to, like, be negative on my platform, and she can be an example to others.
B
Speaking of being negative and having unpopular opinions, we're doing a Patreon later today called Unpopular Opinions Hot Takes in pop culture, where people are submitting their hot takes and we're going to share some. Some of our own. Even though, like, we. We never shy away.
A
This would be major shout out to the BFFs pod because we totally stole the idea from them.
B
Oh, yeah. But we've done it before. But then I saw that.
A
Have we?
B
Yeah, we have. And it was fun. And then I saw they did. I was like, oh, club, we should do this again. It was so fun.
A
So I was going through the submissions this morning, and, like, it's gonna be really hard not to be so, so mean. People are like, like, your hot take is your natural inclination is to be mean. Right.
B
Of course. Unless there's someone that everybody hates and you love. Both Classic.
A
Yeah. Yeah. But most of it, it's everybody loves and you hate.
B
I feel like most of. I remember from last time, it's about Beyonce. Is that.
A
No, I saw one about Beyonce, but she was not a popular submission.
B
I don't want to do the same episode again. So. Good. I'm glad people's takes are changing. But yeah, I would say, like, I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but like, these two, I think.
A
It is a pop culture hot take. Like, I don't think that their goals. I don't find him, like, attractive. I, like, actually, like, really don't like him. And to me, I don't look at them and be like, I'm charging him all, like, I don't care.
B
Okay.
A
You know, like, why do you go back to your separate dwellings and live your fake lives? And, like, it's so easy to make your life look perfect when you do one public event every year, like the Venice Film Festival. Like, please have a reality show and then I'll be impressed.
B
Yeah, well, actually, speaking of a new reality show that's actually a great segue. Jimmy Kimmel is producing a new Hulu docu series starring model sisters Brooks Nader and her Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy Kimmel is producing Claudia From Variety's Lips to your Ears. Jimmy Kimmel is producing a new Hulu docu series starring model sisters Brooks Nader and her three sisters who look like her, named Grace Anne, Mary Holland, and Sarah Jane Nader. The show is going to be called Love thy Nader, and it will premiere on both the streamer Hulu and the cable network Freeform later this summer. So it's already been filmed. The show is a coming of age docu series that stars the Nader sisters who left their humble beginnings in the Louisiana bayou for the glamour and grind of New York City.
A
So I want to say two things. One, I think Hulu is actually doing an amazing job in the unscripted area. Like, I think they're killing it. Sex Lives of Mormon.
B
Sex Lives of Mormon Wives.
A
What's it called? Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Vanderpump Villa is out today. I've heard it's actually amazing Kardashians. So this. I feel like they really have their finger on the pulse. And I have a. I'd love to see a sisters reality show. I think, you know, everybody's always chasing the high of the Kardashians, right? Like, let's. Who are the next Kardashians? The. The Culpo sisters. Like, I feel like everybody does it. Having said that, we. I have heard about this show because they have been spotted with cameras like over the course of the last year and it's always on. Dumois feel like there has been like a small but mighty effort to like, get the Nader sisters to be famous. And it's like not taking. Having said that, following Brooks's journey, like with Gleb and whatever and her tick tock, like, she will stop at nothing to be famous. Like, she's actually really motivated. And I think, like, if anyone can get it done, I think she's got what it takes.
B
It's a good quality to be motivated. And I agree that this is not a bad idea. I think at the end of the day it will come down to like, the personality of the sisters if they connect with people, if they resonate with people, if people.
A
And if they open up. Like, I think a lot of people don't realize, like, she was married to somebody like a billionaire and like, there's a lot of like interpersonal drama that it doesn't make it on their Instagram. But they're actually deeply interesting if you know stuff about them.
B
So I think they'll open up. She was dating her Dancing with the Stars pro. Was it Gleb or Alan Gleb, the.
A
One who Lisa Vanderpump fainted on Gleb.
B
She was dating Gleb up until like yesterday. And so I think she like opened up about the last year of her relationship with Gleb. Like, I don't.
A
Oh, I don't care. No, I don't care.
B
Especially like they were filming in the last year. She was dating Gleb, like, and I'm sure she'll be open's a part of the show. I'm sure she'll be open about dating Gleb.
A
That's not what I mean. Open wise.
B
I think, I think that, I think they will leave it all on the show. Like, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity if they want to be the next Kardashians. I, they, they don't seem shy. Like, let's do it. Like you said, they're motivated. I think they understand the assignment. It's just.
A
And what it takes.
B
The question is, will we care? I know.
A
And that's the thing. Like, even with all the Gleb drama, like, yeah, they keep trying. There's like, I don't not an industry plant vibe. But like, there's like a machine trying to like get the Nader sisters To be a thing. And, like, I feel like people don't care.
B
Yeah. But I. Maybe in a formatted reality show format package for caring. I will. I will totally give this a shot. I love Four Sisters. I mean, could there be anything more relatable? They're all gorgeous.
A
Yeah. They're all, like, models.
B
Hulu does a nice job. It has all the making. So, like, it does. I think this is a great idea. And it. They either have it or they don't, and that's that.
A
And to be clear, while, like, the Dancing with the Stars stuff, like, is a pop culture blind spot for me, like, I literally don't care. But, like, there are people who seriously wait outside for the tour, like, for days to get seats in the front row. Like, there is a large constituent constituency of people who, like, deeply, deeply care about the pros, the relationships between the stars, the tour. And so this might be for them.
B
Definitely, but they're gonna need more. They're gonna need people like, like, the pop culture swirly.
A
Yeah.
B
People like us. Like, if we.
A
If.
B
And you know what? This is, like, so up my alley. I will watch. I will give this show a shot for sure. But, like, yeah, I need to like it, actually.
A
If I, like, reminds me a little bit of the Copos.
B
Actually, if I like it, it'll probably.
A
Get canceled, so maybe you shouldn't like him.
B
So maybe it's better if it doesn't. If I don't like it.
A
Yeah, maybe.
B
Oh, things are not looking good for the Pauls then.
A
Yeah. Although I do think the Pauls are a little bit out of your cancellation orbit.
B
It's true. It's true.
A
They're, like, too big to flop.
B
No.
A
Speaking of flops. No.
B
And it's like, I'm not the only one, like, propping them up, like.
A
No. Yeah. You're not unique.
B
They don't need me.
A
Speaking of flops, Katy Perry's Lifetimes tour opened in Mexico City last night. I've been seeing it all over my tick tock because, like, they know I'm, like, one of four people who care. It looks so crazy. Like. And one thing about Katie, and I think we've said this all along, is, like, she really doesn't know who she is. Right. As an artist, and, like, you forget that, like, this is a woman. How old is she? She's in her 40s. She's a mother. Like, I. I feel like we're always saying, like, wish she would just, like, lean into the real Katie because this Persona she puts on. I was watching this, like, Entertainment Tonight interview she did about, like, the intergalactica. The whole theme is, like, alien, space, Lifetime, I don't know. And she's, like, fighting like, a. A cretin with a lightsaber on stage. It's so stupid. Like, I just felt really silly watching it. And it makes me so sad because, like, she's got the hits. She's actually a really talented vocalist. So, like, that's really all you need for a tour, you know, you don't need to be, like, the best, most amazing, deepest songwriter. And she's, like, actively. She can't get out of her own way.
B
It's true.
A
What is she doing?
B
I don't know. I wonder what the thought process is. I do think, like, there's something to be said about, like, be, you know, not be putting your whole self into.
A
Your having a Persona.
B
Having a Persona is a good thing where it's like, you put the mask on.
A
And if it's a good Persona, you.
B
Don'T have to, like, be like, a bleeding.
A
Bleeding out. Yeah.
B
And nobody wants that. Like, keep it together.
A
I agree.
B
But, like, the messaging needs to be, like, more, like, there are.
A
So the Persona needs to be good and cohesive.
B
Makes sense ways to do it.
A
Jackie, you have to see some of these clips. Like, it was seriously crazy.
B
I saw. And then I also saw she's, like, dancing with astronauts. And then she, like, said, has anyone ever.
A
She's like a big bird that flies through the stadium. Like, she's just doing so much.
B
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I think you have to go see it.
A
Of course I'm going to see it.
B
Are you ready for our fourth story? It's more TV news because the new Golden Bachelor has been announced and he is seriously eligible.
A
Okay, Rich.
B
The new Golden Bachelor is Mel Owens. He's a former NFL player. He was the ninth overall pick in the 1981 draft by the Rams, and he now works as a lawyer in Orange County.
A
Oh, cute. Okay, let's see. Right? Oh, Mel Owens.
B
Like, ask Ben if he knows him.
A
He definitely doesn't. I'm not even gonna bother.
B
Ben doesn't even watch football, let alone.
A
I will say, from the 80s. Gary, Jerry. What's his name?
B
Gary.
A
I think the original. He is still, like, so handsome. I'm sorry. Mel doesn't hold a candle to Gary.
B
Oh, yeah. Gary is the baddest to ever do it. But I think Gary is sick, Claudia.
A
Yeah, and he got canceled. Remember when they tried to cancel Gary? Like, that was Seriously crazy.
B
What are.
A
What was it? The Hollywood Reporter did, like, a big expose on the golden bachelor in 1972. His wife had a cold and he left her. Yeah.
B
He has an incurable cancer diagnosis. Gary.
A
Oh, my God.
B
Very sad.
A
Okay, well, I bet his life, like, was amazing. And look how it. Like, at the tail end of it, he just became famous.
B
I know. When they decided to cancel Gary, that was a low point.
A
Oh, my God. When they tried to cancel Gary, that was. Seriously. It's a parody. Like, it's something that SNL would write a sketchy sketch about. And then it actually happened.
B
Yeah. And it was, like, not even crazy stuff.
A
No, it was like, okay, one time. No, it was about his marriage. Right. Because the whole thing was that, like, on the show, his wife died, and, like, it was the worst thing that ever happened to him. He's like a widow looking for love. And it was like. Yeah, well, like, he started dating someone, like, three months after his wife died, and he's a bad guy. Who gives a. Oh, and that he lied about his businesses. Remember that? He was like, a custodian or something.
B
Yeah, there was something about a hot tub. So never mentioned are his years of post retirement work, like, installing hot tubs?
A
Yeah, they were, like, clowning on him because they made it seem like he was, like, a big, fancy, rich business owner. And I guess at one point, like, he worked as, like, a fry cook in a McDonald's, and they were like, well, he's not an entrepreneur, so it was so crazy. I hope the person that wrote that article, like, feels deep shame.
B
You mean there's two people.
A
Say her name.
B
You mean Susan O'Malley and Barbara Lippert?
A
I mean, exactly. Susan O'Malley and Barbara LIPPERT. Say their names.
B
The Golden Bachelor's not so golden past.
A
Literally disgraceful journalism. Like, I don't know if I'll ever get over it.
B
Sorry. It's Suzanne. Wait. Also, it's the only thing she's ever written for the Hollywood Reporter.
A
Oh, I smell. I smell a rat.
B
Claudia and Barb. What did she do? She's only written two things.
A
What? What? They just hire these staff writers?
B
Like, Barbara is a media critic and writer. She recently reviewed the Golden Bachelor for Next Tribe dot com. So she may be a freelance writer, and her and Suzanne put this together. Maybe they picked it up, pitched it to Hollywood Reporter.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. My God. I mean, it must have been a slow news day for the Hollywood Reporter.
B
Wow. I'm so glad we're going back here.
A
Because, like, we actually need to set an annual reminder. Like we can never forget that that happened.
B
Annual reminder of what they tried to do to Gary. And Mason Ramsey is doing well.
A
Okay, we'll check in April 24th of every year.
B
So speaking of Mel Owens being the ninth overall draft pick. The draft is tonight.
A
Oh, is it? So is the Nick game. So if you're looking for me tonight, I'm really busy being an active participant.
B
So is the new episode of Paul American tv. And I have to start the redheads book.
A
Well, how are we going to do it all, Jackie?
B
That's what we do. I need screeners for Paul American. I also just saw that Jake Paul bought like a 40 million dollar house in Georgia.
A
You're kidding me. I'm so jealousy.
B
But like, of course. Well, it was listed for 42 million. I don't know what he paid. And they said it's like for his business. Like they don't think he plans to live there.
A
Yeah, it's an estate.
B
Yeah. Well, at that. At that amount you would hope so.
A
At that price. Before you dive to the next story, can I let you know that the remainder of the show is brought to you by Spritz Society.

B
T U R T. You're welcome. Our fifth and final story. Paige of Sorbo is dismantling her quote Liar Ex Craig's Southern Charm Reunion Claims on Watch what happens live.
A
Okay, I just want to say I feel like that headline's inflammatory.
B
Why?
A
Because I watched pretty much all. I didn't watch the episode. I watched all the relevant clips. Right. Of all the moments that I made. And I actually felt like while her and Craig are obviously, like, not getting back together anytime soon and they, like, don't like each other, I felt like she was, like, not mad or vindictive in the episode at all. I felt like she kind of seemed healed. And while she had to answer all these questions because it's like a year's worth of drama, she didn't feel, like, angry or mad. Like, even the Madison lacroix thing, which I found to be so interesting, she was like, no, I'm just, like, sad. But, like, I heard she was talking.
B
So, like, yeah, what did she say?
A
Oh, and he was like, well, what do you think about what she said?
B
What did she say?
A
And she had said that, like, she was really disappointed that her impedimented her.
B
When she was pregnant and that she.
A
Had reached out to Paige, like, post breakup, and Paige never answered. And so Paige was like, well, that's like, not entirely true. Like, before we broke up a couple of weeks, I'd heard that she was, like, talking about me in Charleston. I was, like, bummed about it because I thought we were real friends. And then she did not text me when we broke up. She texted me, like, two months later in January when there was, like, a lot of Internet drama. And it's like she was reaching out, like, not about the breakup, but about the tea. And I just didn't answer because I didn't feel like, you know, like starting drama or whatever. So that's why I didn't answer. She, like, every question. Didn't really. I didn't feel like she was harboring any, like, a real ill will or resentment. Actually, as somebody who's a paging Craig, Stan, and who likes them both really equally. Like, actually, I felt the episode again. I didn't watch it in its entirety. I actually felt at peace. I'm like, you know what? I think we've all moved on. Like, she had to answer all of these things.
B
She did have to answer all the questions, but no, there were some. Some shady moments. I watched the whole episode. Like when Andy asked her, what did you think about Kyle calling a liar machad up his life? And she said, I think he hit the nail on the head.
A
No, I know, but like, she. She is like, I also still didn't think that that was like, crazy vindictive or like, she had to answer, and that's how she feels. And she didn't do it in, like, a. I don't know. Her tone wasn't. The entire episode. I thought her tone was very, like, light.
B
Yeah, she kept it light, but, like, she's saying that he's a liar. She said he asked what she thought about the Southern Charm reunion because Craig shared a lot about their relationship on the reunion, which I'm sure she'll answer the same questions. They're filming Southern Summer House reunion. Summer House, she said, I disagreed with all of it. I loved listening to it because I was like, what a fun story. So again, like, Big Fat Liar, she's saying, of course, like, saying that Craig had said on Southern Term Reunion that he. She had mentioned getting married at Bravo Con, like, in passing, like, it's probably as a joke. And she, like, was like, that never happened. You know, do you see my wedding? I look like the type of person saying convention Center. So it was like. I don't know, it was a little bit salty, like, as you would expect, but so funny.
A
I really did not read it that way. I actually felt, like, enormous relief watching it. I'm like, you know what? Like, we're. It looks like they're like, she's over it.
B
Yeah. But then Andy was like. He said at the end, you guys have. He was like, even though you broke up and, like, obviously, blah, blah, you guys have been saying, like, nice things about each other. She was like, we have. And I guess, like, they have.
A
I don't think that's a fair assessment.
B
Because even Andy had said someone asked, like, in hindsight, do you wish you chose Andrea over Craig? And she was like, no, no. Which is, I guess, a nice thing to say, but, like, stupid question.
A
That's a bad question.
B
Yeah. Plus, like, Andrea's married. Like, no.
A
And I actually don't think that they've been overly nice because I think it actually, for like, a second, got pretty bad. But as far as breakups go, and they both have to be on reality tv. They both have podcasts. Like, I don't know. I didn't think it was so bad. Like, I feel like we can all move on now. Like, we had to hear from Paige.
B
We'll hear from her again at the reunion, and then it's over. And then if she says anything surprise, crazy, then maybe Craig will respond to that, but then it will be over after that. Andy asked her what she thought about the new girl, and she said, I love it. She Said she was very happy for him. And, I mean, that's really when you've moved on. That was like, when Wes said over the summer, like, they asked, how would you feel if Sierra was hooking up with someone? And he was like, I would feel relieved. Like, oh, my God, of course.
A
But that's different.
B
That's called moved on.
A
No, that's. We're not even worried about him being moved on. Like, he just wants to be out of her line of fire.
B
Yeah. No, but, like, that's like, you. There's no pining or hoping that you're getting back together. Like, it would be a relief for them to be with someone else.
A
Well, and we know that, and that's why they broke up. And then Sierra's saying, like, well, I still like him. Like, that was devastating to hear.
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
Well, let's speak of Wes. Let's dive into the summer house. Recap. It was actually a great episode for people who hate Jesse Solomon.
B
It was a great episode for Lexi. This whole time, I was so worried about Lexi. Like, oh, my God, when she hears what Jesse has been doing, like, she's so head over heels for him. Like, and she leads with an open heart. And I know she would do it again, but, like, oh, my God, she's just going to be knocked off her socks.
A
Yep.
B
This girl is strong. I didn't see.
A
It was a great episode for Amanda, too, who, like, doesn't really move or shake much. And she's kind of like one of the girls who's most up Jesse Solomon's ass. I think she, like, likes the attention he gives her more than the other girls. So to see her, like, finally being, like. By the way, Jesse's, like, kind of saying, like, rude things. Not rude, like, things you shouldn't say about the girl that you're dating. To us, I mean, they. She wasn't honest about how all the girls reacted and, like, gassed him up. And I understand why he's mad because he's like, but you guys were agreeing with me, and now you're, like, telling her I'm a traitor.
B
Yeah.
A
So I actually. I agree his beef with the girls is totally valid, but it was nice to see somebody, like, actually stand up for Lexi. And I thought that Jesse was just pissing me off so, much, like, when Wes was, like, receiving this information that, like, it's actually not what Jesse's making it seem like at all. And he's putting together, like, yeah, in the car, he said he would call her in 10 minutes, but we're gonna be at the house in 10 minutes. Like, Jesse's kind of, like, the crazy, obsessive one.
B
Yeah.
A
Which makes sense. Like, Lexi's very cool. She dated Brooklyn Beckham. Like, she's not pining over Jesse Solomon. No.
B
Like, she'll be okay if she doesn't talk to you for 10 minutes.
A
Correct. And, like, how he's really kind of successfully manipulated the audience and the house into thinking that she's the crazy one. He, like, went on this mission. Why?
B
I don't know.
A
Oh, I know why. I'm sorry. I know why. I meant to send this to you. I don't know if you saw. Lexi went on, like, a page six. I think it's like, the virtual reality podcast. And they asked, like, an innocuous question, and she was just like. I mean, I know that last season, he was, like, a little. He had said to me and to others, like, he was, like, butthurt. That, like, Wes was. They came in together, and Wes got, like, all the attention, and it was like, literally the whole season was about Wes, and everyone's talking about it in the reunion, and obviously it wasn't good, but it's still attention. Right. And that's why you go on these shows and that. He felt like a little. His position was a little threatened, and he was kind of jealous of the attention west was getting. So he's kind of, like, copying Wes.
B
That's interesting and incredibly stupid if that's really lame. Especially, like, to come in. In your first season and get all the love that Jesse did. And, like, it's not controversial. That's, like, a great way to start. And, like, nobody wants to have the season that west had where it's like, you're the biggest deal. Your sophomore season is so bad. It's like, you. There's only. You can only go down. So that really was his strategy. And he was jealous of Wes. Like, Wes should have been jealous of him. Like, we both came on the, like, yeah. Have all the same opportunities, and you're.
A
Beloved, and I'm hated.
B
Yeah. But I don't know. Maybe he wants to be in the New York Times. But, like, seriously, like, a real job. Like, what is he chasing?
A
No. And it's hard because we were talking last week with his Shabbat, like, I want to love him.
B
No.
A
But I just have to.
B
I'm just gonna. I'm holding space for loving Jesse Solomon in certain moments and hating him in other moments and loving him, like, as a person. And I see why the girls maybe are good friends. With him because as a friend, maybe he's amazing. World's worst boyfriend.
A
Yeah. And I just feel like I have to say, as long as we're holding space for multiple things, like, when, like, his singing, like, I actually Butt clench. Like, I can't. His music. He's always using his own songs on Tick Tock. Like, making Tick Tocks. And because, baby, I would you. Like, I can't.
B
I actually.
A
We could fall in love. Like, I literally know it.
B
I don't mind it because I think it's, like, very endearing. Shameless. And not in a bad way. Like, just not embarrassed. Like, he's been through, you know, a life and death scenario. If he wants to sing, he's gonna sing. And he doesn't have a bad.
A
That's fair.
B
No. And, like, he has this, like, platform, so it's like, you making music.
A
Yeah, I know. Like, but it's not the same. Like, it makes me cringe.
B
It's a YOLO thing, and I will allow it on.
A
Also, I really appreciated that they brought up the Instagram comments thing again, because it was exactly like we said. Lexi was like, I never told him to stop. I just said, like, your tone should change a little bit. Like, you have a girlfriend now. So instead of saying like, oh, mamacita, you look so sexy, you could be like, oh, what a beautiful woman. Yeah. Like, and I was so glad that she said that, because that was one of the things that they. He tried to use against her. And all the other girls were like, she doesn't want you leaving comments. They were gassing him up.
B
And it's like, when we heard the extreme take from him, like, his extreme POV were like, that's not even crazy. Like, not only did she not say those things, but even if she had, like, it wouldn't have been that crazy. But what she actually said was so watered down. And he amped it up to make her look crazy and unsuccessfully to us. But I guess when you're in the summer house and, like, everyone is a little immature, it seems crazy.
A
I'm sorry. I'm just, like, kind of, like, stuck on you comparing my music to Jesse Solomon's. Like, can we just go back there? That was really uncool.
B
I mean, you owe me an apology. I meant it in a flattering way. Like, when you have a platforming, you can do whatever you want, and you can put out what you want, and you've got a song in your heart.
A
It'S not the same. And I. I would. I would appreciate an apology but that.
B
Apologizing, like, would like, I'm sorry.
A
I literally sat here and said like, it made me cringe.
B
I'm sorry. And I'm also.
A
Oh, no, take that back.
B
Sorry that I haven't articulated in it in the way that is not offensive to you because it was actually a compliment and you have that YOLO mentality and you're.
A
But I literally said like, it makes me cringe and like that's like when you did your music.
B
Well, is that nice? It doesn't make me cringe, but okay, I'm sorry.
A
Thank you. Now another thing that's going on in the house is this whole Sierra Jesse thing. And I like, I'm not on a side there because I think they're both wrong. Like, Jesse be like, oh, don't touch me. Like, shut up. What are you, three years old? But Sierra not letting it go. Like, like as a self proclaimed girls girl, like, you could think what you want. But just like you making such a big thing of it. Now we're all talking about you and Jesse. You and he has a girlfriend. Like.
B
Yeah.
A
I think she's handling it actually like really poorly.
B
Yeah.
A
And even. And like, even when he gave her a hug, they pulled up to the house and she makes it a whole thing. Like, stop.
B
Well, she said at the dinner with the girls, like, like that like he's dead to her now.
A
That's so crazy. It's crazy.
B
I guess it is a little extreme. Like we could just. What if we just talked about it.
A
Yeah. I also really like having Tom Schwartz around.
B
Me too. What about Tom Schwartz and Lexi? She deserves better.
A
Much.
B
Yeah, he's like.
A
I think there was a point where he was once like an extremely like sought after attractive. Bravo, Liberty.
B
Sandy's clothes, like, he's kind of old.
A
Like it's not the vibe.
B
No, I agree. But in the context of Summer House, when you forget like all of his crimes, yes, he's a real cutie and yes, I like him. I actually, I'm gonna give a compliment to Kyle Cook, if that's okay.
A
Oh, wow. You're really coming for me this summer house reunion. What?
B
I just wanted to give a shout out on him. Put like spotlighting male fertility and infertility and getting your sperm tested. I thought that that was I guess spotlight.
A
I mean, no, and you know, like Amanda ordered the kit for him. Like he was just happened to be.
B
In the kitchen because in the next episode she said she doesn't know if she wants kids.
A
Okay. No, you're not allowed to Give compliments. Okay, sorry.
B
And I guess, like, when Schwartz did it, I didn't think it, like, it was anything interesting.
A
I mean, the bar is in hell for Kyle Cook.
B
It's true. But I thought that was just, like, funny, but.
A
Oh, I didn't. I went to the bathroom.
B
But never mind. It was a great episode for Lexi, honestly, and for the Lexi series, because redemption. She gets a lot of hate. But, like, no, finally, like, putting the pieces together and, like, her hearing what Jesse said. I loved it, actually hearing the truth and how, like, all week he's, like, upper button obsessed with her and, like, so clingy, so love bomby, and then goes and talk about her. Yes, precisely. That is what he does. And I love that she's, like, not. She's not so head over heels that if it ended tomorrow, like, she would be devastated. Like, she.
A
No, they have painted a picture of Lexi up until this point that is completely inaccurate.
B
Yeah, yeah.
A
This.
B
Both Jesse and the show. Because even her.
A
Yeah, the show.
B
The confessionals are like, oh, my gosh, no. Not one moment of her expressing reservations about him or yellow flags about him. Aside from the toe, which, by the way, in the grand scheme of everything that he's done, like, the toe doesn't even scratch the surface.
A
I think it's even weirder. Like, the toe isn't the weirdest part of that whole evening. For me, it's the fact that he went into a room where Emeril was having a threesome. Get out.
B
Yeah. Yes.
A
Scram.
B
Yeah, but, like, the toe was a mistake that happened drunkenly. He. Like, it was just a moment, you know, like, it's not a pattern. Everything else is, like, a pattern of behavior that's not just, like, I will never do that again.
A
No. And when they were fighting, he's such, like, an annoying fighter.
B
Like, you want me to be a robot? Oh, my God.
A
Right? Like, hate. Hey.
B
Like, hey. Like, that's just not. That's, like, what someone with nothing left to say says.
A
And so as somebody who has felt like all the girls, like, have kind of left Lexi in the lurch up until recently, like, seeing them all huddled around her at the pool, like, actually giving her good advice and being on her side, I found that to be restorative. And, like, I'm looking forward to that. That energy now.
B
Yeah. I really hope they don't go back to, like, shipping Sierra and Jesse, though, because that was like, what is that the worst possible next move for Sierra?
A
For Sierra, yes. Like, has she learned nothing?
B
Austin, Wes, Like, Jesse is Actually officially as a boyfriend. Worse than West.
A
Yep.
B
Wes. And if she goes with Jesse next and it's like in real time, it sounds like they're like, I know they.
A
Were together at Coachella.
B
Paige said they were just both happen to be at Coachella. It's like different.
A
Okay.
B
And stuff. And so they're friends. So they saw each other. But Lexi said she had a birthday party and she invited the entire cast and only Jesse and Sierra didn't come. And then they were together that night boycotting her party together.
A
And I just want to say, like, if Sierra and Jesse get together, like, she will have none of my sympathy because I've been so ride or die. Her versus Wes, her versus Austin. I was so against Lindsay. Like, I was so team Sierra. Full me once, full me twice.
B
Three times.
A
Shame on you.
B
I don't know him.
A
Three times.
B
He's the same.
A
Oh, Luke, I didn't watch that season. Yeah, I'm out. Like, you will no longer have my sympathies.
B
What about Carl?
A
Oh, he's. I mean, the word that comes to mind time and time again is just pathetic. Like when they show that clip. I have a crush on you. Like I and his tan line porn.
B
That was the funniest conversation.
A
No. Wes is so funny. I'm sorry. He's a perfect reality star. Like, you don't have to love him, but I've moved. He's brilliant.
B
Slowly.
A
Me too.
B
He's like, chipped away at all the anger that I had towards it. I'm totally fine with him. He is a great reality star. And I texted you this, but I just want to put it out into the world that I think Brianna Chicken fries should be on the next season of Summer House. She would be the perfect cast.
A
Absolutely. Absolutely perfect.
B
Because she's like, if she's got her own world, like, how so many of the other people who have come on, like, have an influencer thing going. And she's so single. She, like, hooked up with West, I think.
A
Yep. They have like a history.
B
But coming for west, she has huge personality.
A
No. And. And I do think I don't know what the future of Summer House looks like for Lindsay. I don't know if it's going to be like this forever. And unfortunately, because as much as I love her, but she's made really no inroads with any of the other girls. I sometimes forget that she's there. Gabby, like, I think her time is up.
B
If Lindsay goes in, Gabby will probably go. But like, the thing about Gabby, it's Like, she. She doesn't take away from anything. Like, I. Like, when.
A
No. There.
B
And she always has, like, yes. A good piece of advice or, like, just as a good shoulder or a listener. So, like, I hope I just.
A
She's a sound and bind individual.
B
There's enough beds to accommodate Gabby, even as we continue to beef up the.
A
I know, because when Paige, Sierra, and Amanda came down in their matching outfits and, like, Gabby was in the kitchen by herself, like, dressed as something else entirely. Like, I actually felt. I felt really bad for her.
B
Yeah. But also, so is Gabby, Lindsay, and Lexi. Who were Lexi dressed together.
A
No, I know, but, like, they were just, like, she was the only one in the kitchen.
B
Yeah, I understand.
A
I was like, is this awkward?
B
I thought that, too. I was like, that's okay. I'm glad. It's just a little, like, clicky. But they are a clique, and they're best friends, and this is their party, and it's their bed thing. Like, duh. So it's not, like. Right, but it's a little clicky. Yeah, but they're. Yeah, so they're gonna be clicky.
A
Click's gonna click, click. Normalize having a click. Okay. Sorry. I have, like, a good group of friends.
B
Like, we're so close, and you're not as close, and.
A
Sorry, we're, like, way cooler than you.
B
And we have, like, matching outfits, and we have, like, love and insight.
A
So much fun.
B
We're not doing it to hurt you. It just hurts.
A
I mean, history.
B
Yeah.
A
You could try Sears.
B
It's just unfortunate, you know, because it's not something that's, like, born of ill intention, but it hurts people.
A
Right. And people like to center themselves being like, you guys are in a clique, and it's like, well, yeah, we are. What that has to do with you, I'm not sure, because you're not in it. Do you know what I mean? I feel like that was, like. Like, the core, like, of all your high school drama was like, you guys are being clicky. They're a clique. And it's like, well, yes, sure. Objection.
B
Who are you? Yeah, no, it's like, we like each other. Is that a crime? And we don't like you. Like, right.
A
You're gonna be mad. You're gonna force us to like you. No.
B
And it's like, either.
A
Not that that's what's happening with Gabby. We've moved on. But, like, just the. I actually think they do like Gabby.
B
The concept of clicks.
A
Yeah. It's called, like, having a comfort group of People like, what's wrong with that?
B
No, it's not. It just like it could hurt someone's feelings. And I guess if that person had their own click, which I feel though as they'll get, maybe if you had.
A
A click that you were passionate about, you would know what it's like. But you don't.
B
So I would say if you find yourself on the outside of a click and that's hurting you, go start your own clique spending your energy like someone else.
A
If you find yourself on the outside of a click, spending your energy trying to penetrate that click and make them understand you is a waste. Go find other click list people and start your own click of losers.
B
Yeah, but they don't. We don't have to know. That's how you guys came together.
A
No, the origins of your clique are totally yours. To interpreter.
B
We want to see your matching outfits.
A
And we want to see you victimize.
B
Another person and we want someone else to feel bad and then you'll know you've succeeded.
A
Correct. It's the circle. The circle of life. That's our show. You guys, thank you so much for listening to the Toast and Landed morning show.
