Episode Overview

Jackie and Claudia kick off the final day of the week with signature irreverence and warmth. The episode moves seamlessly between personal anecdotes (accidentally matching outfits, headphone insecurities), trending pop culture stories (Taylor Swift's latest video, viral mahjong debates), and the meat of the show—deep dives into Bravo news, headline drama, and detailed TV recaps. Their signature "Fast Five" covers the week's top pop culture stories, followed by a candid, passionate take on current reality TV must-sees, and ending with their weekly honors: Queenie and Weenie of the Week.

Opening Banter & Personal Updates

• Matching Outfits Mishap
  The episode opens with Jackie and Claudia unintentionally wearing the same matching set; they joke about being "bananas in pajamas" and reminisce on twin-like moments from childhood.

  “You're not seeing double, you're seeing trouble.” — Claudia (00:49)

• Headphones & Hair Days
  Jackie confesses to wearing headphones on bad hair days and regards them as “contrast for my face.”

  “Big headphones just make my face look really small. It's called contrast, you know.” — Jackie (03:10)

• Mahjong Obsessions
  The sisters discuss their love for mahjong and the drama around the annual card changes, with playful rivalry over favorite hand sequences.

  “It's just hard enough to, like, consider your own tiles before everyone else's.” — Jackie (05:44)

• Oura Ring Updates
  Jackie updates listeners on her struggle with her Oura sleep and activity ring, wishing for more meaningful motivation, but aiming to collect long-term data.

  “It's nice to have an Oura ring when it's a means of bragging.” — Jackie (11:40)

---

FAST FIVE STORIES

1. Molly-Mae & Tommy Fury Expecting Baby #2 after Reconciliation (17:56)

• Background: The popular Love Island couple went through a breakup in August 2024. Rumors swirled about infidelity, but it was clarified as Tommy working through personal issues—not cheating.
• Announcement: Molly-Mae posts a family video revealing their daughter Bambi will be a big sister.
• Commentary: Claudia sympathizes with Molly dealing with social media scrutiny, especially after fans “spotted” a baby bump in an oven reflection before the reveal.

  "Even idyllic relationships... they're literally royalty in the UK...even they [struggle]. So maybe you should text him back." — Claudia (20:53)

• Engagement Chat: Playful debate on whether Tommy needs to propose again after a breakup.
• Baby Names: Anticipation over whether Molly-Mae will top the "unique and different" name Bambi.

2. Olympics Opening, Utah Leerdam's Private Jet Drama, and Ski Jumpers’… Enhancements (23:35)

• Olympics Preview: Opening Ceremony logistics and excitement, especially with the crossover interest in pop culture and Bravo.
• Utah Leerdam's Private Jet: Jake Paul's fiancée and Dutch speed skating star faces criticism for flying private instead of with her team.
  • Jackie defends her: “If a male athlete, like, forsook his team plane ... I'd be like, that's so lame. But Utah obviously needs to fly private. She's a celebrity.” (26:11)
  • Discussion veers into Team USA’s travel perks versus smaller-country teams possibly getting “a seat on Delta,” and Dutch culture jokes.
• Ski Jumpers’ Rumored Tricks:
  • Reports of male competitors injecting hyaluronic acid for a (literal) leg up—alleged for suit-size advantages, sparking rule debates.
  • Both hosts agree it’s excessive:

    “If you're actually injecting a foreign substance into your penis, like, you obviously want it more than everyone else.” — Claudia (32:45)

  • Comparisons made to skincare, with deadpan speculation: “Maybe I’ll experiment with Ben so that—to what end? Just to see if there’s a difference.” — Jackie (33:46)
  • Pops into a fun aside about Molly’s Game and its true story ties.

3. NFL WAGs (and Normani) Star on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Covers (37:51)

• Who’s Featured: Brittany Mahomes, Normani (DK Metcalfe’s fiancée), Claire Kittle, Ranica Love, Kristin Goff, and Haley Cavender.
• Discussion:
  • Debate about the term WAG (wives and girlfriends), with both ultimately celebrating it as empowering and fun, while noting that the magazine “tiptoes” around the word.
  • Notable segment:

    “I love WAG culture. I don’t think it’s demeaning...I’m so back on wag.” — Claudia (38:34) “For years, WAG has been a word used about women, rarely one women were invited to define...But that version of the story is obsolete.” — Jackie (41:56, reads SI’s not-so-subtle chatGPT-ish editorial)

  • Recognition that the cover’s approach—both editorially and visually—signals a shift in how partners of athletes can define themselves individually.
  • Multiple cover versions and “digital-only” magazine changes noted.
  • Fun speculation about which influencers and wives would/should be on the next covers.

4. Real Housewives of Rhode Island Trailer Trashed (49:03)

• Trailer Reaction:
  • Neither host holds back:

    “The trailer looks horrible. Like literally so...low brow.” — Claudia (49:35) “It actually looked like a...parody of Housewives. Like something SNL would put together. A bunch of women who all look the same arguing... iconic mixed sayings...cringe and cliche.” — Jackie (49:58)

  • Critiques:
    • Lack of aspirational wealth.
    • The franchise’s overuse of stereotypical reality tropes.
    • Casting choices (e.g., a pizzeria owner), considered not in line with the “aspirational” Bravo image.
  • Frustration that a supposedly promising project Golden Life was passed over for this.
  • Strong nostalgia for early, authentic Housewives seasons and skepticism about the franchise’s expansion.

5. TV Recaps: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills & The Traitors (53:01)

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

• Main Drama: Kyle’s public betrayal of Dorit, siding with new cast member Amanda. Both hosts are indignant on Dorit’s behalf.

  “Kyle's disgusting based on her behavior...her, like, publicly taking Amanda's side... I thought it was so disgusting.” — Claudia (53:01)

• Discussion Points:
  • The awkwardness of bringing marital drama to TV.
  • Kyle’s changing alliances.
  • Rachel Zoe emerging as an unlikely MVP and Dorit/Bose loyalty.
  • Praising Bose for making her emotional fertility struggles compelling early in her tenure as a Housewife:

    “Bose has had such a stellar...second season. That's insane. Her impact is insane.” — Claudia (58:01)

• Meta-Commentary: Housewife authenticity, confessional doublespeak, and the power of real-life friendships over TV alliances.

The Traitors

• State of the Game:
  • Bemoaning that “big personalities” are eliminated, leaving behind “the big group of losers.”
  • Rob is dominating as the master manipulator; both worry that the remaining cast is too dull.
  • Candace earns praise for her thoughtful, strategic (but doomed) gameplay:

    “She played a great game, very respectfully, very English, made a lot of great friends…” — Jackie (70:36)

  • Debate over Rob’s ethics in gameplay and whether the show is rewarding risk-takers or simply outlasting the entertaining cast.
  • Playful behind-the-scenes speculation on game mechanics (“Are you allowed to say you're a traitor and ally?”), and demand for more contestant reactions on the network's social media.

---

Notable Quotes & Classic Toast Moments

• Claudia on Mahomes WAGs:

  “I love WAG culture. I don’t think it’s demeaning. I think that it’s a full-time career being like a supportive ass wife and mother and like holding down the fort while your husband just sort of like throws a ball around.” (38:34)

• Jackie on Olympic Athletes’ Travel:

  “If a male athlete, like, forsook his team plane, I would be like, that's so lame. Like, whatever. Utah obviously needs to fly private. She's a celebrity.” (26:11)

• On Real Housewives of Rhode Island:

  “It actually looked like... a parody of Housewives. Like something SNL would put together.” — Jackie (49:58)

• On Bravo’s Failings:

  “Whoever said yes to Rhode Island and no to the golden life, you know, I heard that.” — Jackie (71:36)

• Queenie and Weenie of the Week (70:22):

  • Queenie: Candace ("...played a great game, very respectfully, very English..." — Jackie, 70:36).
  • Queenie: Catherine O’Hara ("She’s a queen. May she rest in peace, and I mean that, you know, all captivity." — Claudia, 71:10).
  • Weenie: The Bravo executive(s) who greenlit RHODE ISLAND and passed on the Golden Life.

[A]

What were you working on?

[B]

You're not seeing double, you're seeing trouble.

[A]

Let's take that later. Yeah, I came in in an outfit that, like, I worked hard to procure. It's a matching set. And Jackie was like, oh, I just got that set. And she happened to have just picked up her mail. And she has it here because we got an npr. So she's like, what if I just put it on?

[B]

I thought first of sitting here. There's one package here. It's the same outfit that Koji has. And like, we're so cute and adorable. We've been so simpatico. It's such, like, Friday vibes. It's giving like middle school when it was like pajama Day, like, and we're.

[A]

Like those girls who synced up.

[B]

Yeah, I feel like we're bananas in pajamas.

[A]

It's also giving Merriam Webster. Define stalker for me.

[B]

But you went with Jennifer.

[A]

Yeah, I had three seconds to come up with something like, sorry, I'm just doing my best.

[B]

You're not seeing Devil, you're seeing Java.

[A]

Those two moronic twins who made quite literally no impact.

[B]

Can you say it and go cross, cross.

[A]

Ey, let me get my solo Camry ready. You're not seeing double, you're seeing trouble. Going cross eyed, like, is my party trick. It makes every joke so much funnier. And I'd like to thank the Lord for giving me that ability. I've been doing it since I'm a kid. And I used to do it, like, for the sisters as a kid to like, freak everyone out. Now I do it to, like, get a chuckle. It's really like, one of my talents.

[B]

It's a beautiful thing to be.

[A]

And when I do it on the toaster, like, colloquially, I don't go full. Cuz I'm like, afraid to go full. You know, I was always told as a kid, like, getting get stuck that way. So if you want to, I can show you because people are like, you don't really look that cross eyed. Well, you haven't seen me yet. Ready?

[B]

What'd you just do?

[A]

That was like my joke. Cross eyed. This is my joke.

[B]

I can't see you.

[A]

I'm sorry, but this is my full fledged 100% cross eyed. Ready? I'm scared. I get scared to do it.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

I'm not.

[B]

Don't do it. I can see you in the reflection.

[A]

Yeah, go back. You're not seeing Javo. You're saying so. Yeah, we're wearing matching outfits.

[B]

And for that alone, I'm so glad that we are. Yeah, we're just adorable.

[A]

Wait, you know what's so funny?

[B]

What's so funny?

[A]

I can't hear anything. I don't know why I'm wearing headphones. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.

[B]

I thought you just wear them for the look. Like.

[A]

Well, some days I didn't have like a ton of time to run the Dyson through my hair this morning and I am on day like six hair, so I didn't do like when you.

[B]

Have a hundred thousand dollar hair.

[A]

I don't wear the headphones. So just know if I am wearing the headphones it's because I feel insecure sometimes. Also I feel like a big pair of headphones just makes my face look really small. Yeah, like it's called contrast, you know.

[B]

But it doesn't really matter like what's coming through the headphones is all I'm saying. Like it's not about but I do.

[A]

Like to hear like both of our voices in my ears. I feel like it fuels me to be the best podcaster I can be.

[B]

Okay. I feel like you are a fantastic podcaster.

[A]

I definitely agree with that. Also, I'm also a pulsi podcaster because we're so on the pulse. Real Housewives, Beverly Hills Traders episodes both dropped last night. Jackie and I stayed up late watching them both. So we can recap them both for you today. So that will be today's episode. Don't, don't. Do not worry.

[B]

Yeah, at the end of the show we'll recap. I'm excited. But we also have a lot of really good stories today.

[A]

Thank God.

[B]

Like random for Friday. Good that the stories are a sleigh sometimes.

[A]

Like, you know, Fridays is the perfect time for like random tech news.

[B]

Or like, oh yeah, like we almost had some food news yesterday about how like McDonald's is giving out caviar in the kids meals or something. Well, that's weird. I didn't read it in full, but. No, none of that today. None of that nonsense.

[A]

Okay?

[B]

Just pure pop culture.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

All the time. Oh, yeah.

[A]

We played mahjong yesterday after the toast. I won three times. Some days you have it, some days you don't.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

And I. I happen to have had it. That's always a good feeling.

[B]

That is a good feeling. I'm excited for the new card to come out.

[A]

Yeah, everyone in the.

[B]

I have like, my favorite, like, runs. I just feel like the people who have been playing all year, like, they like the way that I have like three or four runs, like, booked and I can see them in every hand. Like, they have that for so many hands. I feel like it will set the playing field.

[A]

So it's my understanding that the cards aren't that different. Like, that's what I thought.

[B]

I thought just 2025 becomes 2026.

[A]

They might make a couple of adjustments, but for the most part, I couldn't really tell which year the card is from. Like, it's pretty similar then.

[B]

That's what I thought. But then someone said, no, it's not.

[A]

Well, maybe the person you were talking.

[B]

To was like, they had the cart. Like, someone forgot. I forgot my card and they only had a 2024. And it was like, no, no. It's so different. Really? Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

Let me just look.

[B]

I just hope my personal favorites, like, make.

[A]

What is your first personal favorite mahjong sequence?

[B]

Oh, I don't want to say. I feel like that's like, puts everyone on to me.

[A]

I know you love like a 2, 4, 6, 8.

[B]

Oh, I don't. That's not what I was gonna say.

[A]

You do. Okay, I'm looking up the. Work hard. It's a lot of the same stuff. Some new stuff.

[B]

Let me see if my favorite one's in there. And then. And then I'll know.

[A]

I want to know what your favorite is.

[B]

Like, I feel like I can't tell you cuz I'll always know I'm playing it.

[A]

It's just hard enough to, like, consider your own tiles before everyone else's.

[B]

You know, that's always what you do. Oh, no, my favorite's not there.

[A]

Okay. So now I'll be able to deduce based on what's there and what's not.

[B]

That person's going to jail because you're not allowed to take a picture of the card.

[A]

Yeah, you're not.

[B]

So.

[A]

And don't even bother photocopying it.

[B]

Oh, no.

[A]

Jail the rules for mahjong are so strict. I actually appreciate that they've like kept the sanctity of the game.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And that's how it's been passed down from generation to generation.

[B]

Yeah. Of the Zhang.

[A]

I keep singing this morning and my mama told me it's all right. You were dancing through the lightning strike. Because I'm sure we have a story about Taylor Swift's new music video.

[B]

We don't.

[A]

Oh, okay. Let's talk about it really quickly.

[B]

Great.

[A]

It was a star studded ensemble because it was actually really cute. I guess she wasn't even supposed to do a music video for Opalite, but when she went on the Graham Norton show, which is like this turn show in the UK where they have like six celebrities being interviewed at the same exact time. And she was with this like group of actors, musicians, things of that nature. Someone Dom Hall. Gleason. What is he from? I was gonna say Ron Weasley, but that's not Ron Weasley. Whatever. He made a joke about being a telescope music video and she said it gave her this idea. So she cast everyone from that. Jody Turner Smith, Killian Murphy. He was in it. Like very little. Like I got the vibe that like he was just doing it. So he wasn't the only one not there. But his participation was a photo of himself and voiceover. So he like didn't leave his house. But it was super cute. I loved it. And I love the concept of like including all these people. I'm not gonna lie. If she didn't put. At the very end, she put a. From the Graham Norton interview where Donald Gleason says that he wants to.

[B]

Be.

[A]

In a Taylor Swift music video. Luis Capaldi's in it. Your boyfriend? I might not have.

[B]

Yeah, I will watch.

[A]

I might not have noticed. I might have recognized Damon Gleason and I went like, oh, that's cute.

[B]

She cast this one random guy, Gleason.

[A]

Cuz I can pronounce it and I'm better than everyone else.

[B]

What is it? How is that spelled?

[A]

D O, M? I feel like there might be an N after that. Yeah. H A, L, L. Oh, man. I'm literally so smart.

[B]

Domino Gleason.

[A]

But I think it's Domo.

[B]

I don't know him.

[A]

Yes, you do. What's he from?

[B]

Is he from Ex Machina? Yeah.

[A]

Okay, can we talk about time? Of course. Let's also talk about Ex Machina. Did you ever see it?

[B]

No.

[A]

It was like a movie that. I don't know. The lasting impact on culture or cinematography. But the lasting impact on me was insane. Like, I just kind of accidentally saw this movie. And the way I never forgot it, Alicia Vikander, she sort of, like, dropped off. Yeah. She, like, is a robot. And then Dom is, like, obsessed with her. And they're, like, locked in this house together or. No, they're just, like, living in a house together. And D falls for the robot, and then the robot ends up blocking Damal in the house for eternity. Like, he's still in there right now. He probably died, but. Spooky movie. Just qus. I want to see that. Maybe like a precursor to the dangers of AI.

[B]

Oh, for sure. Though. Anyone can always. That's, like, so low hating. Like, the robots are gonna kill us.

[A]

Yeah. And it's like, no, if only. We should be so lucky that that's our fate.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

We'll end up killing each other.

[B]

It's true.

[A]

Well, he was great in the music video. And it was super cute. It was like very 80s. Opalite is like a product like Windex. And it, like, solves all your problems. Like, it, like, it makes the lonely people not lonely. She, like, becomes friends with Domel. It was really cute.

[B]

You just want to say Dommel. I'll pick more stories about him in the future.

[A]

The Morning Tom. All okay. She also has brown hair the entire time. It's, like, meant to be like an ugly wig, but I actually thought she looked amazing.

[B]

Oh, cute.

[A]

Yeah. I like when she changes up her hair in music videos. Of course, babe comes to mind when she was a sexy redheaded secretary. Oh, la la.

[B]

And all too.

[A]

Well, of course. Like a very sophisticated author. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Must be fun.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

If you could have any other color hair, what would it be?

[B]

I don't know. Brown.

[A]

Oh, really?

[B]

Not like you. Not brown. Not.

[A]

Oh, you hate my hair. Okay.

[B]

No, no, no. I feel like, like an. Like a darker version of my hair. Like an auburn brown.

[A]

I would go for, like, a blonde.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

But I would just have to be tan all the time.

[B]

Okay. Do it. Should I? No.

[A]

If I didn't. You know, I really care about the integrity of my strands.

[B]

We can't just be like, people who change their hair. Like, we are beacons of consistency and reliability. And if we're showing up here with, like, different colored hair, like, that's just for the community, not who we are.

[A]

Not only that, I think that people value different values.

[B]

You know, I couldn't have said it better myself. Yeah.

[A]

And I think for us, like, something that's really important. I think that's like integral to our success is just consistency. And not to say that people who change their hair a lot like, are inconsistent. But you do have to have this sort of.

[B]

I would say joie de vi. I would say people who change their hair a lot are inconsistent with their hair color.

[A]

That's beautiful.

[B]

I think that's fair. I think that's fair to say.

[A]

No, it's absolutely sick. I agree.

[B]

Like, like so much of Jacks and Clawd. It's literally like changing your name at this Jacks and Claude. We're brown and red. Like so true.

[A]

It's so true. We couldn't like the, the future of this show sort of depends on the consistency of our hair.

[B]

Maybe like you got a dog that wasn't a King Charles.

[A]

Like, well, that would actually just be funny. Speaking of dogs, Romeo was up. I felt like I had a newborn up every three hours having diarrhea. Thankfully, like I was not my problem. Ben had to go take him outside. It's like freezing here at night. Like I was just ready sort of on the fence about Romeo but him like messing with my sleep.

[B]

Oh, no.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

No.

[A]

My eight month old slept through the night, my two year old dog did not.

[B]

And that affected your sleep score?

[A]

Yes. This is my first. My ordering is back.

[B]

Did I tell you yesterday your sleep score was like not partial.

[A]

79.

[B]

179.

[A]

I, I imagine it had a lot.

[B]

To do with Romeo.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Romeo, wherefore out thou.

[A]

Yeah. I'm not loving the aura ring. I think like it's nice to have an aura ring when it's a means of bragging. Last time I got an aura ring.

[B]

I was at my peak physical. It's hard when you're in a bad spot.

[A]

No, I'm not in a bad spot. I'm just not in an active spot and I, I refuse to like consider that bad.

[B]

Well, I feel like you're more active than you think that you are.

[A]

Well, yeah, I would have thought so too. I thought that once I had my aura ring, like I'm up all day, like I'm taking here, we're going to music class. Like it's not, you know, the gym, but I'm doing stuff all day and before I became a mom, my activity score like was never below a 90. But that's because it's easy to get an Oura ring when you're in the most active phase of your life. It's not even helping you at that point. It's just bragging.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So, and what are your goals for.

[B]

Getting an oura ring.

[A]

Now, that's a really good question. I did really, like, when I got the oura ring the last time around. I got it to track my body temperature for when I wanted to get pregnant. Of course, I'm not there yet, but I did wish that I had had.

[B]

Like, years of data or a new clogged cell.

[A]

Exactly. So, like, I. It took me like, two, three months because I needed to get my own data.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

So I'm hoping to have, like, years worth of data when I'm ready to go.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

So that's what I'm doing. Although I hate sleeping with a ring. I forgot about that feeling.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then the green light. I, like, had a nightlight in my room. It was weird.

[B]

Well, that's exciting that you're on your aura journey.

[A]

I'm not though. You know, but you will be.

[B]

The aura just takes over.

[A]

You think it's gonna encourage me to be more.

[B]

Yeah. Like, you'll want to hit your activity. So, like, okay, let's go for a little walk. Like, it doesn't have to be insane. You don't have to train for a 5K but, like, just little bits and bobs.

[A]

Yeah, I guess.

[B]

Let's get into the stories. We have a lot to do today and we don't have any time to waste. So without further ado, Dah du da do it is time for the Fast 5 stories that you need to know.

[A]

And the Fast 5 stories that you need to know are brought to you by Graz. Everybody knows this is a homemaking show where a couple of balabustas and what's really taken our balabusting to the next level is Graza. So it's our olive oil of choice. It's delicious, it's easy to use. It's extra virgin olive oil at an affordable, everyday price. So you've probably seen the iconic green bottle all over social media. People love it as a finishing oil. As a cooking oil, it's always fresh. They pick, press, and bottle all their olives in the same season. You can even see the harvest date on every bottle. And they have two different extra virgin olive oils or as Rachel Ray would say, evoos to stack your kitchen with. And you could choose between the S or the glass bottle. So the sizzle, which is everyday cooking oil. It's perfect for roasting, sauteing, and just anything that you cook. And then the drizzle, which is a punchy, flavorful finishing oil that's great for dipping bread, whipping up a salad dressing, or even drizzling over ice cream. Yes. I've seen people doing olive oil and ice cream and of course I'm not that adventurous. But Graza is really popular for people who like that. So whether you're hosting dinner parties and you just need a quality olive oil, you're cooking for your whole family or healthy eating is something that you're prioritizing, you should check out Graza and you will also get 10% off your first order of any olive oil. On their website, we recommend the Graza Dua so you can try both. You'll receive two bottles of extra virgin olive oil, which is the sizzle for cooking and the drizzle for finishing with an extra kick of bold flavor. So head to Graza Co G R A Z a C O and use code toast to get 10 off and get cooking for your next chef quality meal. Now that's Graza or as I like to say, Grazza G R A Z A dot code T O A S T. Today's episode is also brought to you by Little Spoon. Anyone who's a parent knows that feeding decisions are not a one time thing. You make them again and again, stage after stage. So I actually made a mom friend who was going out of and she was like, oh, I got my little spoon box and she brought it to me yesterday because, like, we're really in the stage now. I like, I feel like I'm a little bit behind. Like we're supposed to be. I was like feeding for fun but like, mostly doing bottles. Like, I need to be doing more so the baby blends from Little Spoon. We have been loving that we got into pouches. Like, I'm such a, I'm such a mom with my pouches, you know, he's such a kid.

[B]

I know.

[A]

And honestly, for like, I think part of the reason I fell behind was because I was making it myself. And like, that's nice and all, but it's just not sustainable for a working woman. It's. It's annoying and I didn't want to do it anymore. So Little Spoon has been such a great resource for us when it comes to introducing solids. It shows up at your door, takes a huge decision off your plate, doesn't compromise what's important to you because, yeah, I was looking at the ingredients. I was having this like butternut squash blend. What else was in it? Like carrots, whatever. And then I went to the ingredients and it was like butternut squash, carrots, and whatever the third one is. It was just very simple. Like there was three ingredients which I appreciated. So it's really great for the baby stage. They also make food for toddler stage and big kid stage. As their opinions and appetites grow, Little Spoon does too. They've got snacks. I'm obviously currently in the baby phase and really loving the purees because nobody warns you. It's like, have fun, let me get my food processor out. And then it like lasts one day. They didn't even like it and you have to start over tomorrow. It's just really not sustainable.

T thank you Church Travel.

[A]

You're welcome.

[B]

Our first story amazing news. Molly May and Tommy Fury are expecting baby number two after their reconciliation. So Molly Mayhog and Tommy Fury, who fans love from Love island, are now expecting their second child, which is major news because even if you don't follow the couple, you've probably been following the toast. And In August of 2024, the two who were engaged actually split up. Yeah, they were broken up for like six, six months before they started to like ish, get back together. Now they, it was, it was also.

[A]

Like sort of insinuated at that time that there was something really nefarious going on. Like that awful, dreadful looking woman said that she, you know, hooked up with Tommy in Dubai. But it's, it's since been, I think realized by people that all of that was a lie. They never spoke on it, but it was clear that Tommy was going through like, you know, just kind of fighting some personal demons.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And for Bambi and Molly, Molly's self, you know, she decided to step away from the relationship at the time. But it seems like he's done a lot of work on himself.

[B]

Yes, there was, they maintained that there was never any cheating, that it was more so just like alcohol issues. Right. Like him just being like a completely different person when he drank. One that they didn't and couldn't be around. But they've been to back together for probably on it like in total like a year now. And they're expecting their second child. She posted a video of the two of them and Bambi Bamba Lish saying she's going to be a big stuff sister. Oh, she talks like Peppa Pig. I'm gonna be a big sister.

[A]

And actually big news with Peppa Pig was that her brother recently shared he's been diagnosed as partially deaf.

[B]

Yeah, he, her brother George is moderately deaf. He shared his truth. So that was big for the Pepistan.

[A]

No, that's really beautiful. I feel like as a deaf child, like that must be awesome. I just feel like everyone's moderately deaf or nobody's listening to me. I just want to say I never heard of moderately deaf before. But listen, it's important. But that's George's truth and I'm not stepping on George's toes. I didn't mean to. No, really quickly. So I don't follow Molly as closely as you do, but I feel bad for her because. And I'm not even on like Molly talk. But she had posted she has been consistently vlogging, obviously while hiding the pregnancy.

[B]

And a lifestyle influencer and a designer.

[A]

And she was filming herself and there was an oven behind Her. And, like, in the reflection of the oven, people saw a bump. And I don't know, that was like, two days ago. And then she shared the. So maybe that was like an.

[B]

Well, I just want to say, as a Molly Stan, that didn't make its way to me yet, so I feel like they were probably going to announce soon, but maybe she wanted to get in front of it before, like, everybody knew. And then she announced. So I was still totally surprised. Now, of course, I've wondered, will Bambi have a sibling? And on her documentary, she talks about how she really wants to give Bambi a sibling, how she's very close with her sister, and, like, that's very important to her. But, you know, the last two years have. Things have been up in the air because her and Tommy weren't even together. So this is just a beautiful next chapter for this beautiful family. And you know what? It goes to show Nothing's perfect. Nobody's perfect. Everybody has their trials.

[A]

Even, like, you know, idyllic relationships, like, they're literally royalty in the uk, even they. So maybe you should text him back.

[B]

Maybe you should text him back.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Or forgiveness, you know, it's a beautiful thing. It is. And.

[A]

And I forgive you.

[B]

I didn't say sorry.

[A]

I know. But I know you are because I.

[B]

Know you and one of my, you know, for being too good of a sister, setting the bar too high, you know, other.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

For what?

[A]

You know.

[B]

Why you forgive me for. I forgive you for what?

[A]

For throwing that ass in a circle like that. Like, it wasn't cool. But I know you know that now.

[B]

I am who I am.

[A]

I know you know that now. And you didn't do it to hurt.

[B]

Me, just hurt you. Correct. Anyways, so thrill for the Furies. Now, I don't want to, like, put pressure, but let's get back to that engagement at some point.

[A]

Yeah. Even though, like, being in a long term, like, committed engagement is a very chic thing to do. Although I do believe that they will get married.

[B]

It seems as though she's wearing her ring in this video. She had, like, stopped wearing her ring. It's not like they got back together and engaged Beyonce. It's also weird. Like, does he have to propose again?

[A]

That's a great question. When you breakup temporarily as an engaged couple, where does that leave the pending engagement?

[B]

Yeah, I think he should have to propose again.

[A]

Yeah. Why not? It's always fun to get a piece of jewelry.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

The other. This one's tainted. I need.

[A]

Yeah, Agreed. Now, when I wasn't like a conscious, you know, mother when she announced her last pregnancy and then the name of her baby. And Bambi's definitely, like, unique and different. Um, so I. I'm really curious. Did she say what it is?

[B]

I don't know. I feel like it's a girl.

[A]

The video was black and white.

[B]

Yeah, maybe. She didn't say. I wasn't a conscious Molly Mae fan. I didn't even know who she was when she had Bambi, so I didn't get to enjoy her journey through motherhood. So this will just be so much fun.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I guess she'll probably be due, like, summer ish or whatever. We're not really on the same time. Like, she'd be a fun one to be pregnant with.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Zach, get over. Molly May's pregnant.

[A]

You know what that means?

[B]

Like, to me, that would be, like, the same as when I was pregnant with Kylie, which. Yeah, I feel like I was so cool.

[A]

Pregnant with a Hailey Bieber, which was obviously really special for her. Who else was I pregnant with?

[B]

I was pregnant with a lot of girlies.

[A]

I was, of course, pregnant with Lauren Elena. Like, we. We literally had, like, had sex the same day, and I went, like, a week early and she went, like, two weeks late. So, like, our babies are, like, actually quite far apart. But I do believe conception was on the same day.

[B]

That's beautiful.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Mazel to the Furies.

[A]

Really? Mazel. Like, it's nice to work through things and come out on the other side. They must feel very, very happy.

[B]

Yeah. Our next story, some Olympics news. Tonight's the opening ceremony. I forgot we have a bit of Olympics drama that I need.

[A]

What time is the ceremony? Because it's obviously French Canadian time.

[B]

But then they'll stream it, like, for prime time. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah, they always do that. You might see, like, snippets beforehand.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

But it'll probably be at, like, 8 o' clock on Peacock or whatever.

[A]

Oh, thank God. My Peacock subscription is currently active because of Traders.

[B]

Oh, thank God.

[A]

Yeah. Or else I would have had to miss it.

[B]

Our first Olympic story. Utah Leerdom is getting flack for flying private to the Olympics.

[A]

Oh, who gives a fuck?

[B]

I forgot.

[A]

I'm like, who's Utah Lehrman? And why do we care?

[B]

Of course.

[A]

It's literally the love of my life, Jake Paul's fiance.

[B]

Jake Paul's fiance, Juta Leerman, is a Dutch speed skating star. She is going to the Olympics way again.

[A]

Is this, like, her big.

[B]

This is her.

[A]

This is what she's been Waiting for. Because, like, it's like her and Jake can't really live in the same place until X.

[B]

She. Yeah. I think she was at the last Olympics, and this will be her last Olympics.

[A]

Oh, my God. Is Jake there? Did you fly with Jake?

[B]

1000%. Jake will be there. I don't even know that, but of course he will be there. I don't think she flew with.

[A]

Give us Paul American Season 2. Now, do you think that that show wasn't renewed?

[B]

No, I think. I think it's. It could be. I think it could be. I think they're definitely filming it and then they'll see, like, we'll pick it up.

[A]

Maybe YouTube.

[B]

But that's like, what's great about the Pulse. Like, they're filming everything all the time. Yeah.

[A]

Like, the way I need to see. First of all, like, the way you feel about Bambi and Tommy Fury is how I feel about Gita and Jake Paul. I never even thought Jake Paul was cute until I saw him, like, being such a loving. And you know what?

[B]

Our faves are actually connected because you know that Tommy and Jake. Of course.

[A]

Of course.

[B]

Actually, I learned about Tommy through Jake.

[A]

Yes, you did.

[B]

When I watched Jake Paul Untold.

[A]

I need to watch that.

[B]

Oh, my God. Claudia will love it. And then he was fighting Tommy, and then I had seen so much stuff about Tommy, and I just had Charlie, and I was like, you know what? I'll watch their season.

[A]

No, I love Utah. I follow her on every social media platform, and she's been crushing it. She had an injury, though, at, like, the. The Worlds.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And she almost stick it.

[B]

She almost didn't qualify, but then she got a spot. Yeah, she had, like, a freak accident at Worlds that put her out of, like, contention, but she's okay. But because she's such a star, they were like, you've made the team.

[A]

Yeah. And, like. And I think they saw Paul American and they saw the sacrifices, like, she's actively been making because she could just, like, you know, be a kept woman. Yeah.

[B]

In Puerto Rico.

[A]

But no, she is in Amsterdam turning it out. Okay, so she flew private from Amsterdam to Milan.

[B]

Yes. Instead of making the trip alongside her fellow compatriots, people are calling her a diva. Arrogant.

[A]

It's just so funny because, like, if a male athlete, like, forsook his team plane, I would be like, that's so lame. Like, whatever. Utah obviously needs to fly private. She's a celebrity. She can't be sitting in coach with the rest of these slobs. I actually, like, do Agree that she should have flown with her team. Like even like the biggest and bad, like Tom and Giselle, like when they went to the Super Bowl. You just, you do fly with your team.

[B]

Yeah. Or like when LeBron went to the Olympics, he flew with his team. But does the whole team fly private?

[A]

Well, Team usa, you know, we take care of each other. Like it's a big ass plane. I think it's like, I think I've seen videos. It's like a sick. They trick out like a huge 737.

[B]

I also feel like different athletes get like, I feel like the basketball team, they get a plane. I feel like some of the lesser outfits, they get a seat on Delta and you know, they say we move you before you move us.

[A]

How does Team USA travel for the Olympics?

[B]

I feel like every sport travels differently, like sort of based on what they're used to.

[A]

Okay, thank you. To this avid aviator. This is how Team USA flew to the Paris Olympics. They have a video.

[B]

Oh, you didn't ask chat.

[A]

No, I didn't.

[B]

Oh, wow. You see something happened.

[A]

They're in the airport, like, just show us the plane. Oh, Delta's the partner. Yeah. They charter like a Delta flight for sure. But who gets first class and who.

[B]

Well, I just feel like it's based on what they're accustomed to.

[A]

So. Team USA travels to the Olympic Games primarily via customized Delta Airlines charter flights which serve as the official airline for athletes, staff and equipment. Often red carpet send offs involve specially branded team only aircrafts, ensuring comfortable tailored travel, including business class seating for the athletes.

[B]

Okay. Beautiful.

[A]

Oh, so maybe like coaching staff gets coach.

[B]

Maybe. But I just, I feel that's what we do here in the US Like, I don't know what goes down.

[A]

I'm sure everybody does something similar. The teams do normally travel together.

[B]

The Dutch is the Netherlands, right?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

This is. Do you find it confusing as well? A thousand between Dutch and Denmark? No, that Netherlands like Dutch East Netherlands as the Danish are to Denmark.

[A]

Yeah. Which like you should be in Navandish.

[B]

If you're a Neanderthal. A Neanderthal you obviously Dutch.

[A]

I feel like every time, every four years or every two years, it's like when our like global like education like is really put on blast. Agreed. How we got to be Dutch people from Neander London is insane to me. But yes, like Amsterdam is in your.

[B]

Loving saying Amsterdam that feels safe to you.

[A]

Yeah, right, right. Amsterdam is in the Netherlands and people who live in Amsterdam are Dutch. Yolanda Hadid is a Dutchman.

[B]

Is A Dutchman.

[A]

Yeah. Okay.

[B]

And she's from the Netherlands. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Same with Utah. Yes. I will be fully tuned into speed skating.

[B]

The thing is, speed skating is mostly like a single person sport.

[A]

Right. You have like realized it's like running.

[B]

Yeah. But it's like everybody is running their own race literally until you're a part.

[A]

Of like a four person.

[B]

If she were. But even still, like, you're responsible for only yourself, really. So I still don't.

[A]

You don't get the medal if your team loses, but you slayed your quarter of.

[B]

No, no. But it's like they're gonna lose. If they're gonna lose, they're gonna lose.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And you two need to protect you to self and be comfortable. And this is her Olympics and like, she needs to win the gold so she can feel settled in her life and move to Puerto Rico with Jake. If she does not win gold like Claudia, she might try for the next Olympics and we'll have four more years of long distance. Okay. The grand saw four more years of long distance.

[A]

We need Utah to win.

[B]

So she needs to be comfortable.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

She needs to have extra leg room for sure.

[A]

But she also needs the support of her fellow teammates.

[B]

But not really if it's a single person sport, you know? Yeah.

[A]

Nobody wants to go to the locker room and have everybody.

[B]

Especially with the girls.

[A]

Girls can be so bitchy.

[B]

Like, but you know, she runs that town once.

[A]

She runs that locker room like a ship, like a thousand percent.

[B]

I wonder if she brought any friends with her on the plane. It's very, very Stephanie from Real houses in Miami.

[A]

It's very Megan Fox from Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen with her Sid Arthur tickets. Also, us going to the Rascal Flats tour is us seeing Sid Arthur 1000%. Like the Farewell tour for the band like that they've loved their whole lives. I was thinking that the other day that we're like, so Sid Arthur.

[B]

We're so Lola.

[A]

Yeah. And what's the girl, the blonde friend?

[B]

Is her name Ellen or is that.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Like, it's Ellie. Ellie. Ellie. Ellen.

[B]

Ellen. Or is that her actress name? Like what?

[A]

No, you're definitely onto something. You're so Ellen.

[B]

I'm so Lola Step.

[A]

I'm so Lola. You would never wear that necklace. Actually, your bottle cap necklace is like Lola Step. Yeah. With your teddy bears.

[B]

You're Megan Fox.

[A]

Fine.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm like the rich, cool girl. No.

[B]

So, yeah. You know what? You're not gonna couch us clowning on Utah. She did what she had to do for herself to win gold. Utah needs to win gold. Whatever it takes to get there.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I support. And by the way, I won't say this for everyone. If LeBron doesn't fly with his team, like, yeah, that. But also, he needs his teammates to pass to him is what I'm saying. Like, when it's a team sport like that, those dynamics matter more, of course.

[A]

But also, like, I think it's just gendered as well. Like, yes, diva, take your plane, the man. Like, it's yucky.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, it's for girls. Flying private is for girls.

[B]

Yeah. Also, I. I see the Team USA really does the most for their athletes. I don't know how the Netherlands, their athletes. And if it was up to her.

[A]

Honestly, I could see them sending them on a bicycle. Like, you know, that's so Dutch.

[B]

1,000%. And she's used to the high life with Jake. Like, I'm sorry, this bicycle's not gonna cut it.

[A]

Yeah, no, she's not gonna slum it.

[B]

Probably took the train or something.

[A]

Okay, so it's from Milan to. From Amsterdam to Milan.

[B]

Yeah, you could probably take the train. I think it's all land.

[A]

They love taking trains in your house. They love. Yeah.

[B]

So no, thanks. Makes you think.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Also, some other Olympics drama. Olympic officials are investigating a claim that ski jumpers are injecting acid into their penises.

[A]

Yes, I heard about this.

[B]

So acid makes it seem, like, even crazier than it is. It's hyaluronic acid, and apparently it will enhance their performance. So it turns out that size matters in ski jumping. Before each season starts, competitors go through a 3D scanner wearing only tight body tight underwear. Their crotch height is also measured in their bodysuits, which can only have 2-4 cm of excess material, are designed based on these figures. The hyaluronic acid can increase penis circumference by up to 2cm, which would then give them bigger bodysuits, which adds to their weight, their ability to jump. Like, the measure the meters of the jump. I don't fucking know.

[A]

Well, I just feel like if you're actually injecting a foreign substance into your penis, like, you obviously want it more than everyone else, and I admire your commitment to the craft, and I'm really not bothered by it. Like, if I don't believe that the margin of, like, difference between a gold medal and a silver medal is peanut size.

[B]

Yeah, you. You have to be that much greater.

[A]

You're saying, yeah, like, you didn't win because you have a better. But, like, Cheating is cheating. And sorry. Wrong is wrong. I take it back. Just, like, who was looking that closely that, like, who's a freak who figured this out?

[B]

Yeah. Or they just, like, heard whispers of people doing, like, it's a known secret in the game.

[A]

Is that considered juicing?

[B]

And it's like hyaluronic acid.

[A]

I don't get on my face every night.

[B]

I don't know. But you guys, you know what?

[A]

Because of the zepbound, I do have a couple of spare needles, and I put hyaluronic acid on my face every day. So maybe I'll experiment this at home.

[B]

With Ben so that. To what end?

[A]

Just to see if there's a big difference.

[B]

It sounds really painful. I agree. You obviously want it more than anyone else. Yeah. But you've lost sight, I think of. Of what's important and what's the sport.

[A]

Is that when you go down really fast and then up and you, like, land a. A trick.

[B]

Yeah. Ski jumping.

[A]

Oh, and that's the. The Jessica Chastain movie, right?

[B]

Yeah. Molly Scheme. I watched that like, a couple.

[A]

She was, like, on track to be, like, a professional ski jumper, and then she had an injury, so she became.

[B]

Like, she was at the Olympics.

[A]

Right. And then she became a pimp.

[B]

She had a freak accident.

[A]

Maybe she had too much hyaluronic acid in her regime.

[B]

No, it was the. The pine.

[A]

Oh, yeah. There was a twig in her.

[B]

The twig in her midst, and she went over a twig. As you know, there's just. That's normal. And the w. The angle that it went unclipped her ski. Do you know how bolted those skis are into? Those boots are into your skis.

[A]

Now, is that a true story? Yes. Oh, wow.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Molly's game's a really good movie.

[B]

Molly's. I. I feel like everyone has seen it. It. But if you haven't, you have to see it. It's amazing.

[A]

Yeah, it's really good.

[B]

Yeah. Molly's game.

[A]

So good luck with that. Sorry that happened.

[B]

No, I mean personal accountability. They did that.

[A]

I wonder if they'll be disqualified.

[B]

I feel like. Yeah, they should be.

[A]

Like. I feel like if the Olympics doesn't have, like, insane integrity when it comes to, like, rules and stuff, who will?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

They sort of set the standard.

[B]

I agree. Our next story, Brittany Mahomes, normani and more NFL WAGs are making a splash for Sports Illustrated swimsuit.

[A]

Yes. I love this concept. I saw. At first, I was confused. I didn't realize that Normani was a wag. Yeah. DK Metcalfe is her fiance. And then also, we haven't even talked about how. I'm pretty sure Normani's on my season of the Masked Singer.

[B]

Really? Who is she?

[A]

Hold on, let me look it up.

[B]

I haven't heard that. I've only heard Anthony Ramos.

[A]

It's not Anthony Ramos. And I just did, like, a little personal, like, investigating. And I don't believe that Chase Stokes corn over street is Pug Caso based on just, like, the clues, you know, based on some. I also did some, like, personal recon.

[B]

Okay. Yeah, I don't think he is either.

[A]

So who the hell is it? Philip Phillips.

[B]

People said that's not his voice. I did listen to Phillips Phillips on the way home last night. It was amazing.

[A]

Fans strongly suspect former Fifth Harmony member Normani's competing as the Crane.

[B]

Show me the Crane. What has she sung? That would be really crazy.

[A]

It's kind of like whoever cast this season of the Masked Singer is putting, like, all of my ops. Yeah, first, allegedly Matthew Morrison, but not. Maybe it could be Normani. Teddy Mellencamp's not an op of mine. Neither is David Ortiz. But that the Chrisley's kind of are.

[B]

What did I need more clues about Normani.

[A]

Okay. So crazy.

[B]

I think it's her.

[A]

Based on voice. Do you want to listen?

[B]

Like, I want to see. Hear what song she sings.

[A]

It's not right, but it's okay. Okay by Whitney Houston is what she performed.

[B]

Okay, clues.

[A]

References to the 90s. Oh, so why would that be Normani? Billions of streams working 10 times harder and pink ballet slippers. Wait, why do people think this is Normani? This person said she brushed wings with Janet, Michelle, and even Angelina's a fan.

[B]

Paula Abdul.

[A]

The panel and fans have suggested Maya Normani, Ashanti, or Misty Copeland. Oh, ballet slippers. Yeah.

[B]

Oh, okay. So not Normani.

[A]

No.

[B]

What a fun game.

[A]

I know.

[B]

Well, she. Normani is. She might not be on the Mas Singer, but she is on the COVID of Sports illustrated. So the February 2026 digital issue of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, I Forgot how we got here. Features a bunch of wags on cover. So we have Brittany Mahomes, Normani, Claire Kittle, Ranica Love, Kristin Goff, and Haley Cavender.

[A]

I love this concept. Like, I.

[B]

And Ranica Love is pregnant. And, you know, I just want to say a pregnant woman on the COVID of Sports Illustrated.

[A]

I just feel like that's unfair. Like, she. I didn't even know she was pregnant. I love this. I feel like, you know, at one point, we did girl boss away from the Wagner terminology? I think like some people were like, it's offensive to minimize them to their husband's jobs. But like, I'm just. I really hope we've sort of reverted back. I love WAG culture. I don't think it's demeaning. I think that it's a full time career being like a supportive ass wife and mother and like holding down the fort while your husband just sort of like throws a ball around. So I'm so back on wag. I hope we all are.

[B]

Yes. Me as well. This is really cute.

[A]

Normani looks sick.

[B]

Everyone looks sick.

[A]

Yeah. This is a great concept.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So this was like the. The.

[B]

Was it Utah? I'm not seeing like a mention, you.

[A]

Know, Was this like a. What do they do this for like, February.

[B]

February digital issue.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

So it's a digital issue with seven covers.

[A]

Always doing.

[B]

No, I know. And it's like, is this the one? Is there any more homes on the COVID Sports Illustrated.

[A]

Like, but she was last year for the big one. Okay.

[B]

But this isn't. She was.

[A]

Yeah, but you know, they have like eight.

[B]

It's so crazy how quick. Oh, yeah, they. They love eight covers. So we have eight digital covers. Is there anything in the magazine?

[A]

Yes, all the girls do.

[B]

They just make covers.

[A]

So there's like, there's like four or five covers and then, you know, it's like all the girls spreads are in there. So like.

[B]

So what's going to be in this one? Is it going to be like more wags? I didn't have Olivier that she's illustrated girly. She's so si.

[A]

I actually could see her turning down. She's been like, she talks a lot because she does all these Get Ready with me's about how like she hasn't bounced back in the way that she wanted to, which is insane because she looks perfect. So I actually could see her turning it down. Like, be like, not yet.

[B]

Yeah, like.

[A]

Because she's done it before and I think like, she'll get it offered it again.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That's just conjecture based quite literally on her get ready with me.

[B]

Yeah. That's like Molly when she didn't want to walk in the l' Oreal Correction Show.

[A]

And like, that's real.

[B]

Yeah, that is so real. Yeah. And just like the confidence, knowing that they're gonna offer it to you, like, another time. There will be another.

[A]

If I got it once, I'll get it again.

[B]

Yeah. Not like, oh my God, this is my one chance I have to do It. Even though I don't want to.

[A]

Yeah. If you got offered to like walk in Sports Illustrated swim week or on beyond right now.

[B]

No, like that actually sounds. Not one part of me would be like, oh, yeah.

[A]

So guys, please don't offer it.

[B]

Like, yeah, don't waste your time. Give it to someone who really wants it. It.

[A]

After my children, my breast lift, my reduction and my tummy tuck, give me.

[B]

A call maybe like, I'll see you.

[A]

In, in actually 10 years.

[B]

Yeah, but this is a great concept.

[A]

Yeah, I love it. And I, I just like, I really love WAG culture and I know, like, maybe it's not woke or whatever. I just like it.

[B]

Yeah. I do feel like they don't like the term, but that just doesn't work for me.

[A]

I know. I actually, the last time I was hanging out with Kristen use check, I was like, do you like hay Wagon? She was like, yeah, like, they do find it to me and like, I get it, but like, I love it.

[B]

But it's so, it's so cute.

[A]

Think of the joy that it brings America. Yeah, but they don't like it. And you notice the word wag was not on the COVID Like, and they don't say wag, it's just sort of. Now it's implied. That implied wag.

[B]

But like, what did they say then? You know, they didn't.

[A]

I think we all just put together.

[B]

Like six is saying wag, but S.

[A]

I is saying I just put it together. And then I was like, oh, wait, it's a bunch of wags and Normani.

[B]

The new S era. The new era of NFL WAGs. Oh, it's wagalicious.

[A]

I didn't know that was here.

[B]

This is what they said. For years, wag has been a word used about women. Rarely one women, rarely one women were invited to define barely one women for themselves. Listen to the one that was accused of having like, AI writing articles.

[A]

Let's see, let's see if this is giving chat.

[B]

It came loaded with assumptions. Glamour over grit, proximity over purpose. But that version of the story is obsolete. I'm sorry, it's so chat.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

In today's sports culture, the women on the sidelines aren't waiting to be seen. They're already leading.

[A]

That's true.

[B]

Our February digital issue spotlights six women who are doing exactly that. Reshaping what it truly means to be a so called WAG by simply being themselves. I want to see if there's a name associated with this, with the article.

[A]

Yeah. Or is it just written by Chat. Chat Bot. Batista. Chat Batista.

[B]

It has, like, photographed by swimsuits by. I'm not seeing, like, an author 1000. They're never beating those chat alligators.

[A]

And I actually appreciate, like, them not spending, wasting money on, like, writers because quite literally, nobody's picking up this magazine for the words. You know what I mean? Oh, like, I'm looking for some thought provoking, you know, reading material for my flight. Let me pick up Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

[B]

Wait. This is so funny. The entire article is about wag. And they asked each of the models, what does the term WAG mean to you?

[A]

Oh, so funny. I like how we're sitting here being like, I wonder. This is so bad.

[B]

I wonder how they feel.

[A]

Okay, so what do they say?

[B]

Okay, so Normani said, I feel like the term wag definitely needs to be redefined. I feel very sexy. I feel like I'm in my divine femininity. The photographer is incredible. This is going to be iconic.

[A]

Okay, thanks for not answering the question. Although I do feel like.

[B]

Like, what do you mean? To take back the term.

[A]

But wag would mean different things to different people. Like, Normani is obviously, like, an accomplished performer. Like, she has so many different things going on outside. I think where it becomes derogatory is where it's like, you know, we wouldn't know this person unless they were a wag.

[B]

Yeah. Brittany Mahomes said, I think being the significant other to an NFL player is an incredibly hard role, and we take on a lot of important stuff.

[A]

Agreed.

[B]

It seems that people don't get to see, but we also get to enjoy life and do things that we love, too.

[A]

Yeah. No, Britney Mahomes is kind of like the quintessential wag. Right. Like, we. She's on the COVID of Sports Illustrated because of her husband. We wouldn't know her or her work if it wasn't for, you know, the job that her husband had. So, like, she's someone. I find it like, Normani's not a wag.

[B]

Like, Kristin Goff's got the right attitude. She's a wag. She said, I feel like the word wag has gotten such a bad rap of over the years. I just think being a WAG is so much more than being the wife of a football player. Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

And. But she's the quintessential wag.

[B]

Yeah. Okay. I feel wagged out now.

[A]

I'm, like, saying it so much, the word wag, it's like.

[B]

And like, we're all saying the same thing.

[A]

Like, everyone's afraid. But like, it sounds like everybody likes.

[B]

Being called away and like, it's very convenient, you know? Yeah, it's a convenient descriptor.

[A]

And it's, it's so like embedded in culture now. Like, good luck not saying it, you know?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You sort of just have to let it go.

[B]

Yeah. Are you ready for our next story?

[A]

What number.

[B]

You know what it's gonna be number five.

[A]

Do we have TV recap?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Okay, so I'll wait.

[B]

Okay. Sort of a lead into TV recap.

[A]

So then should I not wait?

[B]

No. Because I don't want to feel like I have to stop if my thoughts take me into the TV recap, you know.

[A]

Thank you Turt.

[A]

You're welcome.

Our fifth and final story, the Real Housewives of Rhode island trailer is here. They're teasing fights, affair, rumors and more. So the smallest state is ready to prove it's home to some of the biggest drama. The first trailer for the Real Houses of for Long island of Rhode island fans got a taste of what they can expect from the new Bravo show. So we got a bunch of cast members including Ashley Iconetti from the Bachelor and one of Dolores Catania's friends, a former Miss Rhode Island, a pizzeria owner, a town gossip. You've got it all.

[A]

So the trailer looks horrible. Like literally so like low brow. And I was like, it's just annoying because like Rhode island island itself is so pargy and like they open up the trailer, you know, drone footage of these insane waterfront estates and you just know none of the housewives that they've cast live there. I just have quite literally no hope for this franchise. The trailer looked, it just looked like.

[B]

It actually looked like, you know, a parody of Housewives. Like something SNL would put together. Like a bunch of women who all look the same arguing with each other about, I could not tell trying to have like iconic mixed sayings. Like it was so like cringe and cliche and like nothing new or never been done before. And it's really crazy to me that Bravo would pick this up, but not the golden life, a thousand percent.

[A]

Also, and I really don't mean to be mean or like holier than thou in any sense or like, I don't know what the word is, but like a pizzeria owner is just not going to cut it for me personally, you, I, I judge housewife franchises on the level of wealth. I'm sorry, it is an aspirational show and I do think they have found success in certain markets. Markets not just going for like the uber, uber wealthy. Like I think, you know, Salt Lake City, none of the women are particularly wealthy. But it works. This is just giving like a really.

[B]

It's supposed to be a aspirational show. Show. Also Ashley, I posted like her cast photo which by the way, I think she's a great reality TV person and would.

[A]

But it's almost like they have eight Ashley eyes.

[B]

Yeah. No, because her caption was from roses to pearls. And let me tell you, I'm clutching those pearl that I don't own because it's scary over here. So it's like she's obviously coming in as like the one of lesser means. And it's like just so contrived and I, I'm. It looks really bad and I'm always really open minded. I love a new franchise. I actually love like a franchise in its infancy more than I, you know, than a few years later is when I sort of fall off. Especially if they live in an interesting location. They keep saying the smallest state with the biggest drama. Like they just keep saying the same thing. I'm like, this is fake. Yeah.

[A]

It being a parody of an snl. Like, that's a great way to put it.

[B]

It's like what everyone thinks Housewives is. And like we know Housewives is so much more. Like you don't even know the first thing about Housewives.

[A]

Oh, I literally got emotional at last night's episode. I started crying when Bose was having that. Like, it is such a dynamic what people think. And like this is just seriously a slap in the face. Like, it's hard.

[B]

It's like if you had to ask like someone who's never seen Housewives to put together a trailer of what they think Housewives is, that's what it would be.

[A]

Yeah. It was really disappointing.

[B]

Yeah. I don't think I'll give it a shot.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I just can't believe that they would pass on golden light and go with something like that because the bar.

[A]

Is obviously in hell.

[B]

Yeah. Like, we're picking up TV shows. Give us a TV show.

[A]

Yeah. And like with it really is the more I think about it, like so crazy that they let the show go when they have Peacock. Like, I understand maybe at one time when they were just a cable network.

[B]

Like we only have so many slots.

[A]

The amount of crap on Peacock throw One more on there.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You never know what's going to take off. That's what happened. The real housewives of Miami.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It was a peacock exclusive because, like, somebody pitched it and they were like, sure, throw it on, Peacock. And it became so popular, it became. It was. Started airing on Bravo.

[B]

Bravo, yeah.

[A]

Yeah. So hopes are not high.

[B]

No, hopes are not high. And it was. It was disappointing to see.

[A]

Now let's talk about the real houses of Beverly hills episode that was on last night that was so amazing. I felt so. I felt. I don't know, maybe I'm, like, in, like, a luteal phase, but I was feeling very strong emotions. Like, I felt very angry under each behalf. Like, I literally thought, like, I think Kyle's disgusting based on her behavior. Like, I don't know if I was just, like, having an outsized reaction to it, but, like, her, like, publicly taking Amanda's side, like, in front of the whole group. This girl, she's known for five minutes. I guess her and Dorit have, you know, they're in a bad, like, and not a great spot, but they have so many years of friendship and history. Like, I thought it was so disgusting.

[B]

I am a little conflicted.

[A]

And I got, like, when Rachel and ass zo stepped in on Dorit's behalf and Dorit was like, thank fucking God. Like, yes.

[B]

Yeah. Because Dorit was. No one was clowning. Yeah, I'm a little conflicted because I'm team Dorit all the way. However, Kyle's point that Dorit talking about all this stuff on TV might come back not be the best thing for her in the end is correct, obviously.

[A]

But quite literally, nobody's even disputing that. Like, it's just. It's not the message, it's the delivery. Like, to say it to Amanda, like, weeks ago is so disgusting. Also.

[B]

I, I, I. Kyle did lead that conversation. Amanda did disagree. Agreed. Like, by the way, we're not even.

[A]

Talking about Amanda anymore.

[B]

Like, as we shouldn't be, because all she was said was like, yeah, agreed. Yeah.

[A]

Her problem is with Kyle, and she hasn't seen that. She was just given information by Sutton a little bit misleading.

[B]

And where did Sutton get that information?

[A]

The dinner at Kathy Hilton's house under the gazebo.

[B]

Amanda told Amanda just regurgitated what Kyle said.

[A]

Like, sort of made it her own.

[B]

So from Sutton, it sounded like an Amanda original.

[A]

Yeah. So I think at the reunion, everyone will have a little bit more clarity that it's Kyle's original thought. And she's, by the way, she's so valid. Like, anything you said, that's her thing to say. And this is serious. Like, a good friend would say it off camera alone, but a fine friend would say it alone, period. Saying it in front of everyone multiple times times, like, and they're just in a bad spot. And it's true. Like, anything. Kyle's like, Bose could say it, and Dorit would be like, yeah, of course. And then Kyle could say the same thing. And it's because Kyle is coming from a bad place.

[B]

It's true because Bose only has Dorit's best interest in mind. She doesn't even know pk. She doesn't talk to bk. When something comes from Kyle, you have to question what her other motives are because, like, she has other irons in this fire.

[A]

And Eric has been, like, pissing me off these last, like, two seasons because she says what I'm thinking in her confessional. Animals. And yes, she shouldn't, like, call out Kyle in front of everyone. That's, like, a bad look. But she doesn't ever, like, tell Kyle that she's wrong. And, I don't know, like, there's something to be said. Yes, Dorit is saying too much about pk, but, like, Kyle's not saying anything about her divorce. Like, at least, you know, Dorit's having, like, a human reaction to it. And it's like, well, it's nice that you're not fighting about finances, and it's like, that you're not fighting over custody. Your kids are all grown and, like, how nice for you. And that's your experience. And. And there's clearly a lot going on behind closed doors with Mauricio and Kyle, like, that we don't know about.

[B]

Obviously. Like, you're not just best friends and then just get a divorce and everything's, like, totally fine.

[A]

Right? So at least, like, Dorit's being honest with the group.

[B]

And it's like, if Dorit was putting on a brave face and acting like everything was fine and not with her, they would say, you're not being real. We feel like something's going on. You can't. So you can't win.

[A]

Yeah. And, like, Amanda is really annoying, but, like, this really wasn't even about her.

[B]

Her.

[A]

She's being very Crystal Kong, and I like that everyone's just, like, sort of brushing it off. Like, we really can't entertain Moronic.

[B]

We can bounce.

[A]

This franchise is better than that. Like, we don't have to stoop that low. Maybe the Real Housewives of Rhode island do. But like, we don't have to stoop that low. There's enough meat here. I'm so team Dorit. Like, it. It's insane. And I was getting so annoyed. Like, it was, like, slowly becoming a pylon. And then thankfully, Rachel Zoe stepped in, and I just. I love Rachel Zo. And, like, this Rachel Zoe, Dorit Bose. Triangle. Dream team.

[B]

Dream team.

[A]

Dream team.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Obsessed.

[B]

No, I was happy for Dorit that, like, Rachel stepped in. And I think everyone's Rachel.

[A]

I think that Rachel doesn't like Kyle. It's just, like, the vibe that I'm getting.

[B]

Oh, interesting.

[A]

And she's really good friends with Kathy.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Even when she went over to Kathy's house and was talking about, like, the group.

[B]

The group.

[A]

She was talking about Kyle.

[B]

Yeah. But Kathy is open. Like, she. She won't, like, jump in, but, like, you can, like, remember when Kyle had Rinna over to, like, with Kathy.

[A]

Unforgivable. Like, seriously unforgivable.

[B]

So, like, there's not that. That line for them.

[A]

I got really, really choked up for Bose when she found out that, like, both of the, like, the two eggs that they made into embryos, like, just didn't take. Like, that was really sad.

[B]

I know it was sad to watch, but I do have it in the back of my head that the rumor we heard, which is, like, buoying me because I think that it's gonna turn out okay. Right.

[A]

Like, I. I guess she does go and do it again.

[B]

Yeah. Or the doctor had suggested, like, using someone else's eggs.

[A]

Right. I'm sorry. Bose is just firing on all cylinders as a housewife, and I do think it's a real testament, because a lot of times housewives come on and their personal stories in, like, the first early seasons of their life, whether it's about, like, a family thing or, you know, trying to have a baby, it doesn't always hit for me. I'm like, I don't really know you yet. Bose has had such a stellar. What is this, her second, third season?

[B]

Second.

[A]

That's insane. Like, I got so emotional for her, and.

[B]

Yeah, I think it's just her second season.

[A]

That's so crazy. Her impact is insane. Me and Ben were cackling, like, she just makes us laugh. She makes us cry. She's such a voice of reason, and I know a criticism of hers that she's just, like, blindly team Dorit. But, like, I'm sorry, if you're a moral person, like, you are team duration. No.

[B]

And I think when someone is your real best friend, that's how best friends act. Like, oh, you're fighting with my best friend. I have my best friends back because I know my friend. I trust my fave. Like, it's not just a blind loyalty. It's like, that's what friendship is. And ever heard of friendship?

[A]

Kyle was being really crazy. Like, she was getting so angry. It was like, a really bad night for Kyle.

[B]

You're really angry.

[A]

Yeah, that's what it was. She was just like, yeah, God know.

[B]

I'm going to read. And I hate when everyone says, do you talk to me? It is tired.

[A]

It is tired. And you know what? Like, everyone's always coming for Dorit. And then they're like, well, you're talking too much. How the fuck is she ever supposed to respond? Yeah, I hate that shit.

[B]

I like that she said it's old because I think it is old.

[A]

And like, I'm. I'm, like, triggered by it.

[B]

Her title should have had to do with something about talking to her tagline. You mean her memoir? Memoirs.

[A]

Yeah. What's her memoir title? Like, an unmemorable memoir. Memoirs of a Door Read.

[B]

I know. That would be memorable.

[A]

Memoirs of a Kim's Life. I wonder if she's gonna change her last name. I feel like that's something you do when you really hate your ex husband.

[B]

It is called Unburdened. Yeah. And we said that'd be a better title for Kamala. You're right.

[A]

Than 107.

[B]

Oh, yeah. But that wasn't her memoirs. That was, like, the day. The retelling campaign.

[A]

Yeah, but that.

[B]

But she should put that in her.

[A]

Back pocket one day.

[B]

Day to do Unburdened. Yeah. That's her word.

[A]

Yeah. And I feel like she actually is burdened by a lot. Like, I think that whole thing was traumatizing for her.

[B]

So Dorit is unburdened, and then there's a. There should be a subheader.

[A]

That's bad.

[B]

Yeah, it is. It should have been, like, talking too much.

[A]

Right. Or just, like, something.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Different and better. It was a great episode, I think.

[B]

It's not my job.

[A]

Like, literally, this is not my book. This is not my place.

[B]

Yeah, they're a great group of women. I love Rachel Zo.

[A]

I love Rachel, though. And I always.

[B]

I just feel really, like, shocked and grateful that she's on the show and.

[A]

She'S getting, like, you cried.

[B]

To what do we owe this pleasure?

[A]

But I actually think it's very good for her. Like, I think her business is successful. Like, I don't think she's in the growing stages anymore. Like, it's a billion dollar business on its own. I think financially, she's set. So I think this is very much, like, for her public image. I think maybe people would consider her, like, cold or. But no, her fifth episode, and she's crying. Love that. I think this is a great thing for her, you know. Q score.

[B]

Yeah. I think also when she was talking to Kathy about how she usually goes to Europe in the Hamptons during the summer, and this summer, she's not working, it's because she's doing the show.

[A]

Yeah. But she makes Emma go to the Hamptons next weekend.

[B]

Oh, she needs a vacation. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

That was funny.

[A]

It was. Now let's dive into the recap of the greatest show on earth, which is Traitor is last night's episode. Spoiler alerts coming in. We had two people go home, two kind of firecrackers. Like, we are really left with the worst people.

[B]

Yeah. And that was my fear with this show. Like, the worse and more boring you are, the farther you will go. With the more of a flash that you make, the harder you play the game, you will be eliminated.

[A]

With the exception of Rob, we are left with just, like, the big group of losers. That's Eric. And this is not personal. They're just boring. Eric, Christine, Mark, Ballas, Johnny and Tara, Steven. Like, everyone who's been honestly, I'm putting all my. All my eggs into this basket.

[B]

Everyone's saying there's no one left to root for. Like, all that more interesting people are gone. Now it's like we're rooting for Dorinda, which, yeah, even I feel that way. I'm running for Stephen Coletti.

[A]

Well, the only hope that we have of someone figuring out it's Rob is Stephen Coletti, because Candace told him on the way out, he's gonna have to do a little bit of mental gymnastics to be like, is it possible that Rob turned on all of his traits Traders?

[B]

Yeah. Because usually when up until a certain point in the show, if a trader is throwing out a name, they're throwing out the name of a faithful. They want to kill the faithfuls. So at what point do you think that the traders throwing out the name of a traitor. It could really. You could make both arguments. Yeah.

[A]

They just have to sit around and be like. The thought process of, like, traders backing traders is kind of not possible anymore. There isn't someone left here who has backed up Lisa. They don't know Donna was a secret trader and Candace. So maybe we need to rethink. And so he's not the hero we wanted, but he's kind of the hero we need. Stephen Coletti. He's our only hope.

[B]

Yeah, I thought Johnny.

[A]

I'm sorry. Eric being like, I know whose handwriting this is. It's Johnny.

[B]

Like, magical ears. You mean he's dumb. He's so dumb. And, like, when I saw him walk through breakfast, I'm like, fuck.

[A]

And I actually believe.

[B]

And then. And then when Spoiler Rob chooses him, like, recruits him as a traitor, I'm like, more Eric.

[A]

Now. I do believe that this show is very difficult when you're in it. So, like, yeah, Eric's dumb, but, like, I don't think that I would be doing any better.

[B]

I have no issue with someone being dumb.

[A]

Shout out to Tara Lipinski for being like, wait, I'm terrible at this game. Like, yes, Queen, you are. And I imagine I would be too. And you're right. It does take us very specific type of sociopath like Rob to be succeeding in the way that he is. And it's. I feel like, almost like a sealed fate at this point. Like, he's got everyone on lock. He's got the double dagger. Nobody thinks it's him. Moore is in love with him. The women think he's hot. They're not gonna come for him. The men respect him so much because he's the only, like, alpha in the group now. So, like, are we just gonna watch five more episodes of him? Like, playing everyone like a fiddle? Like, it's boring?

[B]

Yeah. And I'm, like, mad at him. I don't feel, like, warm and fuzzy towards him because I don't like what he did.

[A]

I respect that.

[B]

Like, yeah, no, he's great at the game, but, like, at what cost?

[A]

Yeah. Okay.

[B]

I don't like what he did to Lisa and Candace. It didn't have to be like that. Maybe for Lisa. Like, you and I disagree. Yeah. I don't think he had to go so hard. At least I think he could have let her be banished and not come in to help her. I would have been fine with that.

[A]

He didn't need to facilitate it in that way.

[B]

But I don't fault him for not saving her.

[A]

Yeah. I do wish him and Candace could have continued to work together because people were not really saying, Candace, Candace.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Except Colton. And then he got murdered that night. Like it was safe.

[B]

Yeah. No, Rob killed Candace. Yeah. Is that blood?

[A]

I was just thinking, is there blood on this tissue? No. I cleaned off my lip gloss earlier.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Is there lip gloss? On my face. I just used the tissue. Okay. I was like, am I dying?

[B]

She, like, coughed blood.

[A]

No, it's just. Just my lip gloss.

[B]

It's like a Victorian.

[A]

Yeah. Like, when you copy cough. It's like in the movie, you know, when they go, yeah, blood. That person dies.

[B]

Back to traitors. Yeah. Rob facilitated the banishment of Candace. He could have easily swayed them one way or the other. So, yeah, everyone is eating out of the palm of his hand, even though Candace, like, you know, she did everything that she could on her way out to point it towards Rob that night. They're in the library. Kristen and Eric are like, could it be Rob?

[A]

No.

[B]

Oh, my God. I'm so excited for Rob, for Eric's reaction. To realize Eric's.

[A]

They have to post the video of Colton now.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Let me see if they post.

[B]

See if they post.

[A]

And that's a fault in the show. We need to see on camera these people who got murdered finding out who the traitors are. It's just this little series they do on their Instagram, like, a day or two after the episode airs. And it's not working for me because the way I needed to see. Let's see if they posted it. No.

[B]

And I will say, like, Candace was great at this game. She got screwed. And I understand why she's, like, not following Rob in real life and why there's beef.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

She was very good. He let her kill Colton knowing that he had already thrown her name out there.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That's just like backstabbing. And what's the point? Like, at a certain point, the show becomes pointless. Do we want the traitors to win?

[A]

Win as a group?

[B]

Right.

[A]

Yeah. What is the point now?

[B]

What is the point?

[A]

I guess the point like, that we're all championing is for everyone to figure out that it's Rob or what would be.

[B]

And then what, a bunch of losers win? And we have, like, four winners of Traders.

[A]

And it's like, I guess, like, we could be happy for Stephen and Dorinda. Dream team.

[B]

I feel like they're gonna get killed. It's gonna wind up being like, Mark, Kristen. Oh, I had hoped that he would. This would have been interesting if what's the name Rob had chosen? Johnny. Recruited Johnny. Because everybody has the heat on Johnny. But then Tara. Yeah. So that's the only way that or one way that Johnny and Tara's best friendship would have actually made the show interesting because Rob said he almost chose Johnny to be a traitor with him because everyone's gonna kill Johnny anyway. And Then you're getting rid of two people. Right. But if Johnny's best friends with Tara, Rob doesn't know that. And then Johnny tells Tara, Listen, Rob just recruited me. I'm a traitor right now.

[A]

Are you allowed? If you're a traitor, can you tell someone you're a traitor, like, and form an alliance or something?

[B]

Well, that's what Colton tried to do with Lisa Ran.

[A]

I think you can.

[B]

Okay, so that would have been really interesting.

[A]

They should have encouraged him to choose Johnny.

[B]

Yeah. And then it would have all been for some.

[A]

He couldn't have chose someone less interesting, which was his strategy. I'm watching a television show. I'm trying to be entertained. And, like, Eric's not cutting it.

[B]

No. And we were open with Eric. Like, oh, how interesting. They casted a music producer.

[A]

Like, he's a songwriter, but.

[B]

Okay, you said, like, they really cast a white man, and, like, we have Eric, and that's very exciting. But my. My time with Eric has come to an end.

[A]

My time with Eric came to end weeks ago. Like, I literally forgot he was still there.

[B]

And now it's just, like.

[A]

You know who's pissing me off? Maura.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

She gives nothing. She's. I. I loop her into, like, the group of losers, and I don't really. She. I guess she, like, did sniff out Candace, like, but I don't really agree that, like, because her throwaway was Rob. Right, Right.

[B]

Why that? And then now she's going for him. What does that mean? Why is that weird?

[A]

Okay, so Candace's only problem at the round table was her evidence against Rob was so weak. Like, him dropping the fork.

[B]

She.

[A]

I kept thinking she should have brought up something else. Wait, hold on. When it comes to Rob. Oh, she should have said, like, everyone thinks Colton dying is, like, a reflection on me. I feel like it's a reflection on Colton. Like, I mean, excuse me, on Rob. Like, it's so obvious. Like, that's your best friend in the game. No one would think you. It is you.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Like, she could have gotten more creative with her Rob accusation just to leave it in the minds of people, because now her dumb fork thing is not impactful.

[B]

Yeah. I do think she did as good as she could at the round table.

[A]

She kept her composure.

[B]

She kept her composure. She threw out good arguments. You know, unlike Lisa Rinna, who just kept saying, I don't know who said she was going to come to the roundtable, and, you know, Lisa fucking Rinna. And there was nothing. So I think Candace played the game amazingly. Like, I Have mad respect for her. There's nothing more that she could have done because she was scratching.

[A]

Screwed. Yeah. I just hope somebody puts together that they're probably at the point now where one of the traders has turned on the rest of the traders. So everything we thought up until this point about, like, who voted for it's kind of over.

[B]

And so if they get Rob out now, then, like, they win.

[A]

Yeah. And they have to split the money.

[B]

Got it.

[A]

I liked the challenge. I feel like we were talking last week about how, like, less physically demanding challenges and more like this one wasn't intellectual. But it was funny. I liked it. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, it was funny.

[A]

How did Christine know that the shield was in that thing?

[B]

It was the only one that had a backing. All the other pictures on canvas. Yeah.

[A]

Where has that sort of intellect been this whole time? I was shook.

[B]

Yeah. So they'll kill someone tonight. Eric and.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And Rob. Unless Eric says he doesn't want to be a traitor and he just leaves. Then he's dead. Okay.

[A]

I feel like.

[B]

So either it's no Eric or someone else dies. I wonder who.

[A]

I think Eric's probably going to accept the traitor dude. And maybe he'll be the hero. Like, he'll sacrifice himself.

[B]

I feel like they'll kill Johnny or Tara because they were close to Candace.

[A]

Yeah. But that's good. They shouldn't kill because Johnny's a great distraction until Johnny gets home.

[B]

Like, Rob still say they won't kill Johnny.

[A]

Right. Or Tara.

[B]

Why? Why not Tara?

[A]

Because Tara's close to Johnny. Like, that's just. They're, like, a good distraction. They're so crazy, too. Like, they are so, like, inconsistent.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. But they're not gonna kill Mark. Cause he just goes along. He's a follower.

[A]

Follower. Yeah.

[B]

Mora.

[A]

Steven. Steven is a threat.

[B]

But Steven's also a distraction. Yes, he is, Dorinda.

[A]

But also the theory that it's a turret of housewives. Like, it's still possible. So that would be a good theory, too.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

See you next week. Oh, we will. Oh, Queenie and Weenie.

[B]

Queenie and Weenie.

[A]

Oh, Queenie and Weenie. Our final segment of the week, where Jackie and I create tour awards. Queenie of the Week and Weenie of the Week. And it's just like it sounds. If you did something Queenie, like, you'll be the Queenie of the Week. And if you were a major Winnie this week, you will be Weenie of the Week.

[B]

My Queenie is Candace.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, I've been hard on her and I Do feel like tabula rasa. And she did so well that I've come back from any, like, negative opinions I held of her. I thought she played a great game, very respectfully, very English, made a lot of great friends. She seems like a great girl, and I think overall, Traders was really great for. For her.

[A]

Agreed. Team Onique. Always and forever to eternity. But I'm separating the other in that situation.

[B]

But in this situation, Team Candace.

[A]

Yeah. And I had low expectations of her. You're right. I mean, I was wrong, and I'm woman enough to admit that.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

My queenie goes out to Moira Rose herself, Catherine o'.

[B]

Hara.

[A]

Devastating week for the. For the community. She's a queen. May she rest in peace. And I mean that, you know, all captivity.

[B]

Yeah. And then my weenie goes to the person at Bravo who chose to greenlight Real Housewives of Rhode island instead of the golden light.

[A]

And my weenie goes to the person at Bravo who passed on the golden light.

[B]

Right, right.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I think hopefully they're the same person. So they could be one weenie or it could be a shared title.

[A]

It definitely was a group.

[B]

Whoever said yes to Rhode island and no to the golden life, you know, I heard that.

[A]

And this is just what I read in a TikTok comment that Ramona is banned from this network.

[B]

Why?

[A]

I guess, like, you know, some of the unsavory things of, like, the last couple of seasons, not being, like, so woke or whatever. I just feel like, like. Like everyone at Bravo like, has a little bit of that. And why Ramona would be banned from the network? Does she go to BravoCon?

[B]

I was gonna just ask you that. I feel like.

[A]

Let me ask chat.

[B]

Is she on watch what happens live? I don't think that's true. And I also feel like those women.

[A]

When was the last time Ramona singer was at Bravo Con?

[B]

Those women would have dropped her in a second. They would have said, you can't be on our show if we can be on Bravo.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So I. I'm gonna say false. You read it in a TikTok comment.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, I read it in TikTok comment. The last time I'm on a singer actually appeared at a Bravo Con event, according to chat was Bravo Con 2022, and she was scheduled to Attel. Oh, she was scheduled to attend Bravicon 2023 in Vegas, but was disinvited from the event amid controversy over resurfaced allegations and a publicized comment and therefore did not appear in 2023. So the most recent Bravo Con was 2023.

[B]

And when was the last time she live.

[A]

When was the last time she was on Watch Rapids Live as a guest.

[B]

Or, like, you know, you know, doorbell or whatever. And I feel like Avery Bartens, really?

[A]

I feel like you're thinking, like, a.

[B]

While ago, maybe I'm living in the past.

[A]

And you're right. Like, they would have dropped Ramona off that show.

[B]

They have enough, like, 1,000%.

[A]

There's no widely reported extremely recent Watch what happens live appearance by Ramona Singer in 2024 or 2025. She was a frequent guest through her time as a Roni cast member through 2021.

[B]

Oh, so you could be, like, banned from the network and then be unbanned like Nene. Yeah.

[A]

So she has not been on Watch happens live in 2020. So it seems like the last time she was something happened in 2023, Bravo Con canceled and that was like, the last time she was on Watch Happens Live and she hasn't been at the network since.

[B]

Okay, but she also hasn't been on a show there since 2020.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, so what could she have done? But also, like, Nene was suing Bravo and now she's back on Bravo.

[A]

It's true.

[B]

They could unban.

[A]

It means nothing.

[B]

It means nothing.

[A]

A lifetime ban is not a thing.

[B]

It's not a thing. They can be mad at her and then be unmad like, yeah, I'm sorry, Tik Tok commenter. I'm calling.

[A]

Yeah, sorry. And I just feel like recently I've been, like, reading a lot of tick tock comments. So I just wanted to know when.

[B]

Like, everything is a lie or just. Just everything is just. You just can't take things at face value. I'm sorry. Yeah, you cannot from a Tick tock comment or tick tock.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Like, otherwise, you think I have beef with Natalie right? When that was not the case.

[A]

No sending pieces and love.

[B]

So much love, guys.
