Let me tell you, everyone loved yesterday. episode and I'm so glad but like I've never worked so hard and I'm never worked so hard in my whole life like I just yeah this to me is not work we have a balance and we know what to do doing both the ads and the stories like it's just try being an influence of for a day you guys try it well I'm back thank you for holding it down while I missed you I'm just so good to be back well thank you thank you yes back home we were in Dallas for the weekend took a co-a wedding, have you gone to a wedding since being a mom? That's a great question. Claudia, it's too much. Wait, let me think, for real. I don't think that you have, because I was trying to think if you have, if you've had this experience that like I had of going to a wedding and being a mom, and like, it's just so... Yes, I have. Oh, who? Margo? Margo. And like, it's just so emotional. And like, it's so emotional. And like, it's so emotional. as a hormonal post-partum woman. It's just too much for me to be at such a beautiful, it was like such a beautiful Jewish wedding. It was meant to be in Israel. We were going to go to Israel for it. Instead, they brought Israel to Dallas. And it was just, it was so beautiful. I want to say, Maizal Tov to the bride and groom. Thank you so much for having us. I was so moved. I was so moved by the whole thing. I'm really too emotional to go to go to a wedding. I'm really, I'm really too emotional. I'm really too emotional. I'm really too emotional. I'm really, I'm really, I'm really, I'm really, I'm really, I'm really, I'm really, I'm really, I'm going to a like that person crying at weddings like I think that weddings and I just want to say this is not a slight to anyone else this is not a supremacist statement like don't look into what I'm saying but I don't know if I've really ever been to a wedding that wasn't a Jewish wedding mhm but I imagine if I did I wouldn't be as emotional there is something distinctly beautiful about the traditions the chevabrajevacas like it is so and it's like it's a timeless they've been doing this you know these things these things have survived Holocaust. And they're always, you know, at a Jewish wedding they always bring up the Holocaust because like somebody under the HIPAA is related to a Holocaust forever. And let me tell you like I'm always the girl crying. So I think the first wedding I went to, I was literally still breastfeeding so I was so forth part of, I definitely cried like the whole time. Yeah, no it's just every it's such a triumph, you know. And I'm sure everybody feels that's just how I felt at this one and at most. It was just it was so beautiful. And honestly, and honestly, and honestly, and honestly, and honestly, and honestly, and honestly, and honestly, and honestly, and honestly, and honestly, and honestly, and honestly, and honestly, and I know mom I'm just like you just must be so proud of these wonderful children that you've raised well I'm glad you had a good time because like we suffered here without you so at least it wasn't for nothing no it wasn't for nothing and we're about to swirl it up this summer so like we could go one day apart we could this is gonna be a true Nalafi today's our final episode of the week so let's take our time let's not be thoughtless and final and final for me She's supposed to get a facial like after we record today, but she just canceled. So I'm sort of like, Free as a bird. Yeah, I have some reading to do, we're recording redheads today. I have to finish the book, which I can't, I'll have enough time to finish it. But that's really it. So yeah, I'm free to chit chat. Okay, let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do from Dallas so it hasn't been like that long. No it has it was just one show that I missed but I also feel like I haven't caught up with you like on face time. Oh and also the best part about this wedding additionally was I was sitting at a table of all toasters. Dream. It was exclusively toasters I don't know if like the bride did that intentionally so like we could all get swearly together. So you can conduct a meet and greet at the affair. No and then like the toasters were at the table we're texting like we're texting their fellow toasters who they knew who they knew. It just at the t'clock. That's like as big celebrities sometimes people don't invite us to their weddings because we do sort of take the attention away from the bride. We did in that all but you're just like in the corner being swirly that happens to me a lot of I'm constantly not getting invited places because I'm always taking the attention. I met so many great to the toasters are fantastic you know I never read a bad toaster in my life. I love to be at a table with toasters because it's just gonna be like girls have the same elk. Okay. We, which character from Wicked do you think possesses the most swirleitude? On the one hand, Glinda, taking it at face value, you know, obviously she's a girly girl, as are we. However, we do have the elk of Elphaba in us, just a little bit renegade. You know, obviously, she's a girly girl, as are we. However, we do have the elk of Elphaba in us, just a little bit reneg reneg truth tellers. So Ben, yeah. I think and we had this conversation once like who are we and wicked and yeah but that's not the question. No but like I think we speak to a Glinda and in alphabet like there is both there's both. So Ben was like obviously Glinda but Ben was looking at it from such like a one-dimensional Pov because she like wears pink yes like swirly is an aesthetic but it's more so like a state of mind and a characteristic and I made the argument that actually not one person at the entire university possesses swirlitude Not one. Certainly not Nesiroz. No, I think that both Glinda and Alpha Book, this is it. Glinda and Alphaba are both toasters and that's how they connect. Like that's why even though they seem so different, they actually can be friends because of like this commonality and their personalities that allows them to be toasters and allows them to be friends. Yes. Yeah, I agree. Alphaa and Glenda are both to both. of like a closet listener but I know that she can relate to our truth-telling ways. Something about us we're gonna tell the truth. Yeah and nothing but the truth. Whether you like it or not you can rot inhale. Yeah and I did catch up on all my love island you know going to a wedding a three day wedding weekend and be an active watcher of Love Island. It's very destabilizing. It's not an easy thing and I so last night when I came home I had to watch two episodes so I watched one and then I finished one and then I finished the second one and then I finished the second one and then I finished the second one with Granny the cook actually. Yeah, I was really grateful I had a little stand for my Ibrun but I got rid of her. We're back for the last episode of the week. Don't you feel like the last two episodes of Love Island like both could have been an email? Like actually you know what what's funny is the first three weeks of Love Island up until Cosamore could have been an email. Yes. Now that we're in it a little more like the conversations are conversating a little more like the conversations are conversating like more than we were before you know two people sit down to have a conversation and it's not like pulling teeth what are we gonna talk about right but like the me again the stallion challenge did not need to be 45 minutes long like it never ended no it was so stupid and like again why is me again is me again and I loved her presence and I think she like really uplifted the villain they needed that because everyone was like desperately everyone is sort of for lack of a better term crashing out and they needed that like confidence boost and I think she brought that energy and I think she brought that watching boys throw cake in the faces of women and that's meant to be empowering and Megan the Stallions overseeing it and letting us know that that's how we're gonna feel better and and release all of this tension I ended up on like woke island talk and somebody said and you know what like not me being woke because I agreed with her that challenge was normalizing domestic violence like dead ass that was crazy a thousand percent just turned behavior the show is disgusting like oh and what was humiliating was that I played my but I have to watch Love Island. So like we played and it was on in the background. And so there was one girl at the table who watched and then two girls who didn't. Like I was genuinely humiliated to have been they have no idea what the show is. So like what's this show? At least it wasn't one with a challenge. I know I was at the worst they just thought it was boring like you just watch these people talk I'm like yeah. So at worst it was boring but I was like, I was tonight's movie night. We will do a recap of the last like two or three episodes because you and I haven't discussed even the recoupling so that will be in the Laveilay Recap we also have to your toasters. How are the stories? Anaya. Anaya. In the words of Tiffany Pollard it's hard to watch her be so dumb. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And like who did you vote for to come back from Kasa. Okay so I didn't vote. You didn't exercise your rights. was on Friday night and I turned my phone off. Okay. And obviously I was fighting for a more because we needed the truth teller a more to come and I was like you know I was not I was not I knew everyone was gonna bring back Carl and I was not down. No I would have brought back corry for Melanie. I literally would have brought I would have brought back Ronnie for Jen like it's just every not one girl has made a good decision this entire show like and I hate to blame the women but I just have higher expectations I will I will say like this has been like this has been like this has been like this has been like this has been like this has been like this has been men right now and they are like legitimately evil like a lot of these guys the behavior from Gaul last night sinister this entire season it's been very alarming actually at what young how young men interact in relationships he says I could never be a 21 year old girl right now like seriously I think that like boys are you know boys will be boys they're acting the way the way that guys have always acted right in terms of action the difference is to the way that they're the opposite of what they're doing. Maybe like back in our day they were like, fuck boys and they never said anything other than that but that's who they were. What you saw was what you get. Now it's like sincere like acts like a life coach and then he's just like gonna ruin your life coach. Yeah right. Wait, let's save all of this to the TV recap and then I want to tell you one more thing before we dive into the stories. Guess I saw on the street yesterday. I'll give you a clue. some mother-fucking Kelly rip-out. Let me tell you something I got scared. I was like, hopefully she doesn't know about the Kelly's mindless-less-dewse segment. She was minding her own business. She looked so insane. Like she looked so gorgeous, skin-tight. She was wearing a hat, like a cutie little outfit, because it was a thousand degrees. She looked like a real celebrity, you know, like a glamorous, I didn't even wear a lot. need some more time you know this is a big weekend maybe an America 250 and then like all the America 250 festivities over after 4th of July maybe maybe this will get you in the mood okay and I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free and I won't forget the man who died who gave that right to me and I gladly stand up next to you and I won't forget the man who died who gave that right to me and I gladly stand up next to you and I'll today because there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA. Claudia that's you feel ready you feel ready? Like no but I appreciate the effort but you're closer I guess so I don't know it's just like a whirlwind week I know it's really summer begins I want to savor the maybe I'll feel the energy like when we get to the Hamptons it's very like yes very Americana yeah I'm I'm an American flag plate. You're packing a plate? I placked a serving platter. I didn't. That's insane. Well, I packed it in my car. That was shipped up. So that's better. I packed a couple cookware, but I got such cute like American flag stuff from Rifle Paper Co. And I was like, I need this for 4th of July. Let me bring it to the Hamptons. Okay. That's crazy, but I understand the method. I actually packs a lot. Like a lot. separate from the serving platter and a couple bowls and and my Dutch oven. You packed your touch oven? I did pack my Dutch oven. Do you want to hear why? You want to hear the thinking? My facial is canceled so I can tell you. Okay. So we need a Dutch oven in the Hamptons. What if we want a chili or a casullet? We just we always need a Dutch oven. We're always like running to TJ max to find one. me because you know my colors being retired shall it shall let so they gifted me like a bunch of product Dutch ovens etc but I have a Dutch oven so I didn't open any of those yet and at once I open but in the new ones I'm not really gonna use like my old blue blue blue like I was being shipped so yeah throw in a Dutch oven whatever whatever what the hell Lish and then instead of having to buy like a cheap one we'll have a retirement ceremony for the old blue Good.
