We've Been Framed: Friday, January 31st, 2025

31:47Are you ready for our next story? Are you ready for our next story? It's actually a follow-up to yesterday's story because Kiara Faragny is in the news for two major reasons. I meant to tell you about this to bring it up as a story. As we were talking about her business issues yesterday, her Instagram stories must have been expiring where she went in on the fact that she's no longer with Fidesz and what happened between them. So we were right to say that like there was something going on. And yesterday she literally just told us everything. Because there's also like an Italian podcaster slash journalist who has been like exposing this, like doing episodes.

32:23I don't know if it's like in conjunction with Chiara, but exposing Fidesz and what he's done. Yes so on Wednesday January 29th she decided to break her silence and open up like never before through her Instagram. In a series of four Instagram stories she shared what she went through during her seven-year marriage with Fidesz admitting that she tolerated quote disrespect and justified wrong behavior in the name of love. For months I chose to stay silent to protect myself and my family from two situations that have deeply affected me but I can't keep quiet anymore. I spent seven years in a relationship where I loved without limits loved even when there were so many reasons to walk away I put up with situations where I would have told any friend don't do this to yourself because to me love also meant sacrifice I kept excusing disrespect and justifying the wrong behavior to protect him to protect our family to protect our relationship because I always saw myself as the strong one the independent one the one who had to hold it all together she also admitted that she chose to stay silent to avoid the public fallout that the situation could cause what shocked people the most was the confirmation that Fidesz had been in an extramarital relationship for six of the seven years that they were married.

33:26She said - He was talking to the girl on his wedding day. Yep. He was asking the girl to like give him assurance. A reason to leave. Yeah. She said, I felt sick when I realized everything I had lived was a complete lie, but I suffered in silence. I stayed quiet because I wanted to move forward without focusing on the pain I had been through. And because I have two children who will one day hear about everything their parents say about each other and certain things will hurt them. But deciding together with his friend to make even more details public, probably as revenge for his mistress's unrequited love was truly a low blow.

33:55So apparently he called his mistress just before walking down the aisle with Chiara and asked his mistress to like give him any sort of, like tell him to run away and be with him forever. And she didn't. And so he went through marrying Chiara because also he didn't know how to kind of like call it all off. As you said yesterday, like their marriage and their wedding was the biggest story. Globally, but especially in Italy, like they are like a, I'm trying to think of like who a comparison. They're kind of like a Ben and Turdy. No, like of like Italian royalty. People fucking die for them. He's like this rapper.

34:31Obviously we don't know any of his work, but in Italy, he's like a huge people think he's so hot. They love his music. And she's just like boss, babe, bitch. Like I understand like the pressure of being like that perfect couple, but to, there's so many layers to this that are probably so deeply painful for a Kiara like one obviously that the entirety of your marriage like to have any sort of infidelity is it's devastating but from the time that you got married like from the day that it's been going on like that's really devastating but then also sort of coming to terms with the fact like you're you got married because of the unrequited nature of that affair it's like yeah your your man's mistress didn't even want him right it's not like he chose you it's just he had nowhere else to go right like by default like that's a terrible feeling I imagine yeah and what a piece of shit piece of shit I don't it's I didn't really know him before just from like the background of Kiara's stories but their their whole life seems like a seemed like a fairy tale you know and it's just it's that old adage but like it just always rings more and more true it's like you never know what is going on between two people so before you like start to envy or compare yourself or think like Like, oh, we don't look as in love as they do.

35:42And like, we don't get to do things. Just don't even, because you never, ever know. Like, this is worse than anything than like, that you might've thought was off between them. Like literally on his wedding day, he's talking to his mistress. We continue to have a six year. They have two kids and he has a girlfriend. It's so corny, but it really is the takeaway here because I'm sure there are people who watch them and just like, we're filled with envy for that type of love and life. and marriage and family and all the nice houses. And to be honest, like, no, you can, there aren't enough nice houses to keep someone in a marriage like that.

36:18Like for real. Yeah, and I guess she's only speaking out now because he has shared stuff that has like embarrassed her. That's what she said in her post. Cause I understand why she, I mean, she seems like the tough to, the type to just like - Tough it. Tough it out, do it for her kids. And then even when they break up to not say anything like for her kids. um but this is far like they're so far gone in terms of like keeping the veil over yeah no and this is something I personally struggle with and maybe like I'll understand it more or feel differently like when I'm blessed one day with a child but like I get so mad when people are like protecting their like it's he's the father of my child I don't give a fuck he's a dick like everybody needs to know in celebrity world yes I get it like there there's different things like there are just people who split up because they're growing apart they don't get along they don't respect each other they can't communicate and there's slights here and there and then like those people usually don't go and tell every every fight that they ever had with their husband because that's just like personal people's business but then there are things that are so egregious that that are going to come out anyway that it's better for you to live in like it's out there you know yeah and for you to just be able to like move on from it so I understand if she never wanted to mention it but I think that you know that chip has sailed in terms of like keeping the lid on it yeah and when it's just like typical irreconcilable differences or whatever like no we don't need to know I know you want to know the business but like we can guess like you guys just don't like each other anymore if it's boring like sure but when there's like big drama I'm sure everyone's like fights are drama but it's like standard yeah you know this is just like so fucking crazy yeah yeah because I think anybody but they were like two people who were really individually famous but together as a couple that's also hard like when you get more attention as a couple so you want to stay together more but the relationship's not working out but you don't want to give up all the opportunity and they're two people who were like definitely both individually really famous but like somebody who lives in a different country like I heard about them so much as a couple more as a couple than ever individually yeah they remind me a little bit of Molly May and Tommy except they're even bigger because they came from two different worlds and fused together like a rock star and Italy's number one influencer like bar none Molly and Tommy came up together really so their fans were always the same but you had like these two huge fan bases for Chiara but it is the perfect comparison yeah yeah and then when they break up except for molly and tommy i think most of the time it was a fairy tale and that's what she was saying it's not like they weren't in love it's not like there was infidelity it was just big smoke and mirrors like the whole time there was just other stuff going on and i think they will end up back together if if they're not already which seems as though they are so it's not totally comparable but yeah this is really shocking and really sad and she seems so tough also i remember like her other relationship before this which was like long term and serious and he was like her business partner I think and he like totally stole her business like she was like fighting for years to get her like name back the blonde salad Kiara like in litigation for years like every relationship has been a nightmare for this girl oh my god that's so strange yeah well it's just important to remember that key takeaway here like especially when it comes to like internet stuff and nothing is what it seems.

39:40Right. Don't compare yourself to other people, really. Really. It's true. Yeah. Your life is fab. Yeah. It's yours. Just the way you are. Are you ready for our next story? Number three? Yeah. Yeah. Because it is some Grammys news. This is our last episode before the Grammys. Woohoo. Oh, right. What are they on Sunday? They are on Sunday and we have performers and presenters. Presenters. and notably tailored is presenting at the grammy so that has everyone in a tizzy which like isn't crazy but it's more so a confirmation of her attendance which you know she does usually go especially when she's nominated for album of the year but who knows these days like what she's up to with the super bowl right but i think she could pop into the grammys and i think she'll give out album of the year because she won last year that feels right she can't give it out she's nominated what is she nominated for give tortured poets are you okay i thought she won for tortured poets last year did she win for album of the year last year for midnight yeah she yes she's won for midnight she won for um the last year she won for midnight was that last year yeah i'm sorry that's why i'm like she's wearing her tortured poets dress and she won album of the right i just assume oh my god so maybe she won't announce no she won't announce album of the year oh so she'll just announce like joe schmo whatever yeah like probably new artist maybe to sabrina that's probably the only category she's not nominated for this year right 2024 winner was let me just make sure i'm saying this correct yeah taylor swift yeah yeah that's crazy that she releases like like an album a year now yeah okay so this is the year of the stacked album of the year because yes brat short and sweet um taylor tortured poets beyonce cowboy carter yep so that will be interesting and then here are the performers okay and then also do you think travis is going like the timeline does line up because it is a bye week it's the pro bowl so people who play in the super bowl are not playing a game although i imagine you're under rigorous training and practice schedules i i would love to see him i don't think he's going and i don't think he should go i think like for the team like these two weeks before the super bowl like we are drilled in it's true and it just like sends a bad message and message i don't think and i also i feel like there have been other times where it's like taylor's big night and travis should be her side And for their first red carpet appearance, I don't think this one is it.

42:03What would it be? Watch. And then, I mean, like, not that they were ready then, but, like, the Eras Tour movie sort of thing. Yeah, like, her own project. Yeah. Even last Grammys, it felt more palpable that they could show up together. This just, he's literally playing in the Super Bowl. Yeah, of course, of course, of course. I would actually, like, I would find it weird if he goes. Okay, okay. And, like, I feel like because I'm being so adamant about it, he's gonna go. They're gonna go, yeah. So you're welcome. um performers billy eilish chapel roan sabrina can't wait to see her up there shaking that thing charlie xcx that'll be interesting to see how she stacks up comparatively yeah yeah it will i don't know why i just feel like the whole brat era is like now i'm like a conspiracy theorist word on brat no not soured but because i think like some of the songs are definitely good but i feel like Like, it was overhyped, like, in my, like, not even in my mind.

43:00Like, somebody overhyped it to me. Yeah. And I don't even know, like, what kind of performer is she? Well, I saw her perform on SNL, and it was really terrible. So I hope she's doing something else. Cool. Switching it up. Yeah. Stevie Wonder, classic. Obsessed. Shakira, go off. Oh, baby, when you talk like that. John Legend. Okay. Cynthia Erivo. Obsessed. She just sent me from Wicked? I don't know. I'm sure I could, like, maybe because Wicked maybe is nominated for soundtrack or something. But Grammys doesn't do anything movies. I know. But they should do soundtrack, like, movie song. I feel like Cynthia Erivo could be tapped to do, like, either during the In Memoriam.

43:43They always just need someone with a pardy voice. Yeah. Or if they're going to do, like, a tribute to somebody who passed away this year. Yeah. They just are always tapping, like, true talents for that. Yeah. Chris Martin in Coldplay. Okay. Okay. It's a cold play. Cold play. Why did they say it like that? What is he special? Because they just like were showing pictures of each celebrity. And so like they wanted to show Chris Martin. Janelle Monae. Okay. Benson Boone. Oh, he's good. He is, but I have to say something. What? That song is really good. So if you don't know who Benson Boone is, like it's totally normal.

44:18But you probably do know the song. These beautiful things that I got. Please. And so it's a really good song. and it was like having a huge year. Okay, now, maybe I take back what I'm going to say. Never mind. Okay. Because you don't stand by it or because you just don't want to go there? Well, because someone would say, well, Claudia, you don't feel that way about Shibuzi. Because if you said Shibuzi was performing at the Grammys this year, I'm like, good, he showed you the song of the year. But it's like this Benson character is just everywhere. And you have one song. It's the same way I feel about Dasha.

44:50But for some reason, when it's Shibuzi, it doesn't bother me. Oh, Dasha. Dasha is did your boots So I feel like maybe Shibuzzi doesn't bother you because I can confirm like he has a whole album full of bops and like he is that guy I'm sure that these other people like have other like songs on their album that I just don't know and I don't think a lot of people know like I dare one person to name another Dasha song besides Austin and same for Benson Boone and I'm sure most people couldn't name another Shibuzzi song honestly So Benson Boone going all these places because he has one song doesn't bother me because I feel like I've heard some of his other stuff just like on shuffle and he's just like really talented and I wish good things for him.

45:25Other people who have one song and it's just the one song over and over again and I just don't feel like they have a second act coming up, it's annoying. So I agree with that. So that's how I feel about Benson Boone. But like Benson Boone is filling the Lewis Capaldi-shaped hole in my heart. Do you listen to that TikToker? Alex Warren, I think his name is. Carry You Home? Yeah, so he is like an OG Hype House member. He was like a part of a couple that was like a TikToki couple. I think they're married now. And he started releasing music and everyone's like, okay, good luck with your little project.

45:56And he has released such amazing music and he's getting so much hype. I think his songs do incredibly well. He just did a, they, he released another version of one of his popular songs and Joe Jonas is on it. Like he's really making waves and he is a very, not only does he sound like Lewis Cavalty, he looks like him too. Let me tell you, I didn't know any of that backstory about him, that he's a TikToker or anything. I listen to his music because it comes up on my Spotify because that's the kind of music I like and he's up there with Benson Boone like to me they're the same person in terms of like where they came from which is just Spotify release right Jackie did you ever watch the Hype House Netflix show I think I believe he's a character on it him and his girlfriend shockingly I know this is gonna really surprise everyone I never watched the Netflix Hype House show oh you were missing out that was so good but okay so I'm glad to know that I'm actually glad that I was introduced to him without knowing that because like to me he's just a serious artist do you know this song you knew the house was burning down i had to get out that's also the one joe jonas hopped on you will love a margo really put me on margo started streaming him i'm like margo are you really streaming that tiktoker guy she was a claudia the music stands out like it stands on its own no i was like okay he has made it to my liked songs i can't believe that you like know him not even having anything to do with TikTok.

47:15That's crazy. Literally like five songs a month make it to my like songs and I listen to my like songs. Yeah. Headlights. Yeah. That's on my like songs. Is there one that's called like The House Was Burning Down or something? I'll find it. It's not on my like songs but maybe I should add it. I will add it. No, you should add it. It's a really pargy song. It is called Burning Down. That's the one. And Burning Down with Joe Jonas. Ooh, which way do I go? Go with the OG first and then you'll dip your toe into the special effects. Okay, sounds good. Oh, did you see Rascal Flatts' Jonas Brothers Q Lab dropped today?

47:48I did. I was about to listen to it, but I was listening to the new Morgan Wallen song that dropped and then I got distracted. But then this conversation reminded me, Rascal Flatts. It's kind of a good season of music right now. Yeah, I know. I'm really excited. I have high hopes for this Rascal Flatts collab. I haven't listened to it yet, but if it's bad, I'll be pissed. I'll just blame the Jonas Brothers, so it's fine. that's actually like a really kind of foolproof plan right like yep and it's not rascal's fault no if it's great like that's for damn sure rascal gets the credit but if it's bad right the drums brothers uh thousand percent um do you want to know more grammys performers oh i thought we were done sorry yeah no i'll go quickly dochi teddy swims jacob collier Brad Paisley Ray Okay we could have stopped Lainey Wilson Cheryl Crow St.

48:38Vincent Brittany Howard Herbie Hancock That's a lot Great I'm sure some of them will be like doing something together but that's a lot of performers Yeah Yeah Like not that many exciting ones actually I agree We're all said and done Yeah It all comes out in the wash We're left with like Cynthia Erivo Sabrina And Sabrina Hearts up for Sabrina And maybe Maybe there will be a surprise performer like Beyonce or something. You know? I feel like that could happen. I actually, I wouldn't count on it. Or tailored. I wonder if Beyonce's going to go. Why wouldn't Taylor perform? She, like, doesn't really.

49:12The last time she performed was the Folklore Willow era, which was, like, one of her most iconic performances of all time. But she, like, she doesn't, she's, when she's nominated, she's pretty much guaranteed to show up. She usually shows up, but not perform. Okay. and I don't think Beyonce will perform either only because I think like odds wise I don't think she has a high likelihood of taking home a lot of awards this year like I don't think it's her year I was actually just reading an article about Beyonce and album of the year and like all the times that she was nominated and didn't win and in there is like one true snub that she should have won that year I am Sasha Fierce the um no I think it was called Beyonce it was like the self-titled album and it was the year that Beck won and like I'm sorry who is Beck in this world like not to offend everyone.

49:57I actually remember like being socially conscious for that year where Beck won over Beyonce and the internet was so mad and it was like we'll see in five years like if anybody knows who Beck is and we don't. No and like I'm sure the internet was mad and at the time like I'm sure Beck's album like was really good but like those Beyonce like that was a more prevalent album and carried on but then the other time she lost was to Taylor Swift Fearless which yep like adele stood the test of time adele 25 withstood the test of time and then what was the other one or maybe it was just three and and no but it's not even so much about the album it's about the other nominees too yeah yeah and like the other two times that she should have won like was just stacked categories this year is also a stacked category and i don't think cowboy carter is even as album of the year worthy as I Am Sasha Fierce Lemonade or Beyonce was.

50:53Yeah, I agree. I don't think it's her year. So I don't even know if she's confirmed to show up and I don't think she's going to perform. She's like, I'm not going to waste my talent on you bitches. But you don't think that they might give her album of the year because like Jay-Z like read them to filth in his speech last year? No, I don't think they would want to like indulge that behavior. Also, who is Jay-Z in this world in this moment? Like his social cachet has gone down severely since he was accused, just accused of allegedly you know assaulting a 13 year old so like personally I don't negotiate with with people like that you know yeah I just feel like I don't know I feel like they might want to just finally give it to her and then here she is nominated even though this wouldn't be the year no it's there's too many it's chapel Sabrina there's too many in that category and for me it's Sabrina 1000 I actually had a dream about Sabrina last night I was listening to short and sweet in my head and while I slept more than tortured poets for you no like tortured poets so for you it's tortured poets yeah and I actually do think she'll win okay well we'll see on Sunday and we'll see on Monday because I didn't think midnights was gonna win and if she didn't like I wasn't gonna riot you know like it was a stacked year last year like I I think that this year like is a year I would riot you know if you're if like on the scale of rioting I would riot yeah there would be a riot Breaking up my heart, I try to fight it I could go out every night, but I'd be lying And that's what we said, Rascal Flatts has never made a bad song, so if the collab is bad, like Jackie said, it's the Jonas Brothers' fault.

Thank you Sonobello for sponsoring today's episode of The Toast. Thank you Turtobello. You're welcome. Girdobello. Okay. Our fourth story just got swapped in because new news has emerged. It's not breaking news. But basically Reese Witherspoon was just talking about, She was saying how she lost like a dear Hollywood friend because she made a speech at an awards show that was a bit bawdy.

54:07And now this body mean like inappropriate and risque risque. And now this person doesn't talk to her anymore. So I was like, like without knowing who that is, that is so it's an uninteresting story. What the speech is like, whatever. So the A-list actress who doesn't talk to Reese Witherspoon anymore has seemingly been identified, including the speech that she speech. Let me guess. Let me guess. Let me guess. i don't know how you could guess samuel blair no and it's kind of the speech is from a while ago so like before your before like we were paying attention earlier this week reese witherspoon said in an interview that a fellow hollywood star allegedly ended their friendship after she called out their idea to get laser hair removal while presenting her with an award for the sake of privacy reese refused to name drop the actress during the candid chat however after some sleuthing just jared has reported that the thank you jakey jared thank you jared the mysterious celebrity Reese was referring to was Kate Winslet.

55:05So during the 2007 BAFTA LA Cunard Britannia Awards, classic. How did I miss that? Reese presented Kate Winslet with the prestigious artist of the year award. So Kate had asked her to do the speech to present. Oh, so they were really tight. Like you ask someone you're like low key fucking with to do that. Right. While standing in front of an audience to present the star, Reese kicked off her speech by saying I always wanted to be a European movie star wear giant sunglasses elaborate neck scarves smoke hand rolled cigarettes and have savoir faire and gravitas imagine my good fortune when Kate Winslet moved into my neighborhood rang my doorbell and said darling Sam is off shooting and I believe our children are the same age could they possibly have a play date and oh by the way it's almost 9 o 'clock and I've had nothing to drink do you have any wine during her speech Reese praised Kate Winslet for her fearlessness however she also called her out for peeing all over herself in front of Harvey Keitel in Holy Smoke.

56:01She further pointed out that she wanted to tell more of their stories but couldn't because they were too bawdy or toddy or drunken to tell, including the time they contemplated laser hair removal. The revelation comes just one day after Reese called losing a friend for roasting her in a speech while presenting her with an award. Reese said this literally haunts her to this day. She said, so this friend of mine who I didn't really know that well, but she was a very serious proper actress, she asked me to give her an award because Reese had never been to that particular award ceremony she thought it was like a roast so I got up and I roasted her before pointing out that the tone of the gala was British and elegant elegant and classy oh my god okay because at first I was like oh so lame of Kate Winslet and then the more you told the story I'm like wait Reese Witherspoon is the villain in this story like that's really inappropriate um and so the fact that she looks back on it now like with the self-awareness to be like no I was wrong for that I'm glad she wasn't like trying to throw Kate Winslet under the bus she's throwing herself under the bus and that's really funny and I would love for these two to reconnect like obviously Reese knows what she did wrong she has listened and learned oh my I just went on such a journey while I'm listening I'm like how am I gonna defend Reese like she sounds like a bitch no I feel like she what is this 15 years on has realized like she was wrong it literally gives her a pit like sometimes you just like misread a situation you do the wrong thing like people I feel like that happens a lot at like weddings you know if you're asked to give a speech about someone and sometimes people like bring up inappropriate stuff and like they just like misread it and I know sometimes like that stuff kills and there is a line but it's so hard to know where that line is so I feel like this is a very actually relatable thing of like making a speech for someone and they did not like and if you didn't have like the strongest relationship beforehand like I wouldn't want to be friends why bother pursuing yeah I but I um I do like this little window into how these two became friends yeah like literally just knocking on your door being like we have kids the same age like obviously they knew who each other was like on a professional basis um like to be famous and wealthy you know yeah but then you have like at least with you if it's you're talking at your friend's wedding and you fuck up like okay it happened right this i need to see this speech for sure like see kate's reaction when she walks up yeah but the thing that she said before the armpit thing was worse peeing herself peeing right yeah and just like talking about all the drunken antics yeah i would also stop being friends with that person for what it's worth like on a global on a global stage i think i would too especially if it was a new friend i'd be like oh this person can't be trusted they obviously have like bad instincts and yeah they don't know like what's for the private especially like when you're a public person like a lot of things probably need to be kept for the private and you need somebody who's gut instinct like knows when to talk and want to shut up so i'm sure that was like a learning moment for reese i have no ill will against reese for this like i i feel sympathy for her um sometimes you have to learn a lesson the hard way yeah i agree and she's a better woman now because of this yeah so funny i'm glad we figured out who it was me too because these like stories where we're all just like endlessly guessing and there's no way to know who it truly is like i find boring but the james van der beek story that last week we pretty much figured out and now Kate Winslet love no and without knowing who the celebrity was and what the speech was we would have been like oh who in Hollywood has a stick up their butt that they didn't like Reese Witherspoon's speech yeah our fifth and final story leading into our tv recap is Austin yeah is Austin Kroll revealing um his thoughts on the rumors that Paige is with another guy.

59:38So Austin and Patricia were on Watch What Happens Live last night and they were asked a lot about the breakup. Austin confirmed that Paige has allegedly moved on with another guy when a caller asked what he thinks about the rumors that she's with this guy and he said I don't think that those are rumors. I think that they've been substantiated. He confirmed that Craig knows as such and he explained you know he didn't for a minute but yeah I think he's fully come to terms with that that that's not a rumor and then Andy was like wow okay meanwhile Paige then commented on an Instagram video of this moment saying ah yes a man I haven't spoken to in six months knows exactly what I'm doing right so at first I was like oh this clip is sad like because I actually don't know if Paige has moved on there was like a lot of hoopla around that Eagles game but she hasn't it's not official and there was like so many fake rumors about her with Marcello so like seriously I don't know like I genuinely don't know but I was just like okay maybe she is seeing that guy yeah and and then austin being like yeah we've kind of like come to terms with the fact that like it's not a rumor like she's just dating someone and that's hard and we're like figuring it out and he was kind of speaking on behalf of craig and i was like oh sad and then i was just like scrolling the comments on tiktok this morning and i saw page at the top i was like oh shit so is that her saying she's not dating anyone i think it's just her saying i'm sure there's like a more to this story whether it was like a first date i feel like also maybe austin is trying to make it seem like she's has a boyfriend which she probably doesn't and i feel like there's just always more color that can be added so like him speaking on something about a person that he doesn't talk to yeah and hasn't spoken to like what do you really know and that's annoying like for page if she hasn't spoken out about her dating life and like this her ex's like random friend who she's not friends with like talking about it's like stop and who she's always had beef with because of Sierra and even right even this season of Southern Charm Craig and Paige are together and Craig is having beef with Austin and every time Paige is there she's like telling Craig like just cut this guy out like you know move on with the podcast like obviously they didn't even get along in good times so for him to be the one speaking on her in bad times it's like you don't what do you know no she's right for that yeah I agree with that and a little bit of southern charm recap so last night the boys are reuniting this season is really centered on austin and craig the girls are fighting but they have this podcast pillows and beer they do it twice a week and it's like based on their friendship but they are not really friends right now because craig just kind of wants to like sit home and knit and be in his backyard and settle down buddy where you at and it's it's hard to call it because now knowing that page and Craig have broken up and I feel like in the season Craig is making a lot of these decisions because he's in a serious relationship with Paige and he doesn't go out because like he spends his time they're the right decisions for him in that moment right and now and now I think viewers are quick to say well oh he was doing all that because of Paige and now that they're broken up he was wrong and like I don't think he's wrong for wanting me neither be in a more mature phase of his life Like the way that the men on Southern Charm live and act.

1:02:42The man? Men. You said man. I think I said men. It was giving woman. I'll have to watch that back. Yeah, thank God we're recording. Yeah, that's like Cody Simpson performing at the CMAs. Which I'm still waiting for. The way that the men on Southern Charm live and act is not something that should be modeled whatsoever. Agreed. So if Craig wants to like break free from that mold in a very serious way, I am so supportive of it. Like they seriously need to grow up. So I don't think it's fair to just be like, well, now I'm sure Craig's crawling back to his friends. Like he's allowed to want to live like a more serious lifestyle, take his work seriously and whatnot.

1:03:22But Austin is just, you know, casual buddy looking for his friends. And I just feel like they need to make up like this is stupid. Craig offered to pay him$30 ,000 to leave the podcast and like give it to him. wait who Austin offered Craig or Craig offered Austin Craig offered Austin just to basically like buy the rights yeah because it's been hard to like do the podcast together when they're not friends and the show is about their friendship he said like Austin always just shows up like hungover Craig does all the like work for it anyway so can you just like give it to me okay it's giving Sophia and Alex like yeah it really is except they're guys and like just the things that just like roll off their back like literally one minute they are laughing and the next minute they are fighting and also like crying about their hurt feelings.

1:04:01It's shocking. I hope that they work it out though. Like I like all of their friendships, but they do need to find their new normal. And maybe that does change again now that Craig is single, but still he doesn't want to be getting the bars. Well, it sounds like based on Austin on Watch What Happens Live, like it sounds like they're like close again. Yeah, which is nice. He'll need his friends now. But I don't want Craig to revert to that lifestyle. I don't think so. But Austin's now in a serious relationship. So good. Yeah. then the other crazy thing that happened is JT I've been telling you like JT is just a ticking time bomb on this show yeah and I just also learned that he put out an Instagram story statement saying that he has left the show in post-production oh so you know something bad is coming because he said they wanted to do more like on-camera interviews he said he's filmed already like 10 this season and he won't be doing the rest and he is leaving the show this season has been like really bad for JT self like he just comes up looking so bad and like one thing that he always had he has this like blossoming relationship with vanita and they're like really cute and they go shopping and and she texts his mom and they like get along friendship or like friendship that is flirtatious so like okay it looks like it's headed somewhere and so last night on the episode she like invites him over for dinner cooks for him she's about like gonna tell him how she feels she's like when i like someone like i want i want to tell them how i feel and like make it really easy for them like here's yep this is like here's a brand zino i like you like let's let's show mature and even last on last week's episode they have like this weird conversation when JT stormed out of the party and he's like saying that like oh Vanita I love you and like it was just like are you guys about to kiss that's literally how I felt are you guys about to kiss so then like this week they're about to talk about their feelings and she like says that she likes him and he says I'm seeing someone that's weird weird that you would flirt with like Vanita and make her feel this way when you're seeing someone that Vanita Vanita said that she knew that he was talking to someone but not that it was like in a stage where the door was serious and now it just feels like so clear that he was kind of like using vanita she was the last person on the show who like really had a soft spot for him and i feel like he was flirting with her and just like being really yeah because i'm sorry like as evolved as we are like two straight different gendered people becoming best friends like is not normal yeah and they're like new friends too it's not like you're like brother and sister from growing up so they're being like romantic undertones is very like normal and real and him pretending like what I hate yeah and then it was just it's also weird for his new relationship because it was like Vanita was like if I was the other girl and he's been talking to me the way that he is and that he's even sitting on my couch having a conversation and JT is saying like I do like like you and I feel the chemistry but I'm seeing someone it's like even saying that to someone when you're seeing someone like he's He's talked all around.

1:06:45He's Burn Bridges with Madison, with Austin, now Craig, Sally, Taylor, everyone. So at a certain point, how could he even be on this show? Like he has no friends left. But it was just like, if more people watched Southern Charm, he would be my weenie of the week because it was the biggest weenie moment. It was so, it was so crazy. Like you really thought they were about to kiss on the couch. And I was like, but you made fish. I'm sad for Vanita. It was, no, I'm happy for her because she seriously is dodgy bullet. Yeah, well, for sure. Anyways, that's what's new in Charleston. And I'm telling you, things between Molly and Shep continue to bubble.

1:07:24By the way, after you said that last week, a lot of people in the comments and, like, on our pages were commenting that they echoed your statement. Like, it's, like, this obvious thing. You're not the only one who sees it. Right. So they flashed back to last week when they were watching Molly's concert on her tuba. One of the cast members, like, said to, sorry that I can't remember his name. he's always on the show and like he just can't remember sorry um he said sorry to this man he told Shep that Molly had told him that he has feelings that she has feelings for Shep but like in a sweet way and like Shep was like oh okay and then this week things are starting to go south with Shep and his 26 year old uh Bahamian model girlfriend because not only did she like ghost him for three days but Patricia by the way growing up is having a newfound appreciation for Patricia Patricia told Madison that before Sierra started dating Shep she was hitting up Whitney oh although I don't really trust any information that comes from Whitney I think he's the devil I don't know but the thing is Whitney and Patricia was like Whitney will kill me that I said this because he I because I told Whitney you have to tell Shep and Whitney was like no no no like Whitney actually doesn't want to be in the drama anymore like for real um but then Patricia just had to share this, but I think it's becoming clear that Sierra really wanted to be on the show.

1:08:42Yeah, yeah. And doesn't really care about Shep. Well, there's always Molly. As one ship is sailing, Door closes. Another one might be coming into port. So we shall see. That's beautiful. Let's do Queenie and Weenie of the Week. A great way to wrap up the week. It's been a fabulous week here, you guys. Jackie and I, every Friday, like to do a little game that we call Weenie of the Week and Queenie of the Week where we give out an award to two different people. Someone who acted like a Queenie this week and somebody who acted like a weenie this week, just know it's all fun and games. You can be Queenie one week, weenie the next.

1:09:12It's a seven-day title and it's not that serious. So would you like to do Queenie or weenie first? We will do Queenie first as we always do. I'll go first because yours is so amazing that I don't want to be upended. But my Queenie of the week is the obvious Queenie in the room with us, which is our new studio. Of course, of course. Toast, what era is this? Like 4.0 is my Queenie. Are we counting the breath? Yeah. Yeah. So the breath and then the pink with the thrones. Then the apartment we were evicted out of. Then, honestly, then the studio where we were both in it together. Yeah, and then remote.

1:09:47And then remote. And then this. I'm sorry, I lost count. Was that six or seven? Your finger was at seven. Yeah, I know, but I forgot about my thumb. Start again. Breath, pink with the thrones. Apartment we got kicked out of. Studio we were in together. Remote. Studio we were in remote. This one, six. Toe 6.0. I love that. I love. Mine's actually not dissimilar, but it's a little bit more specific. Obviously, the studio is the Queenie of the Week, but I think that in the face of such judgment and adversity, our frames have really acted with such Queenie-like elegance. Yeah. Everybody, you're ugly, you're ugly, you're ugly.

1:10:31You're making me dizzy, you're making me dizzy. And they have just stood behind us giving us such support. giving us like such pardy vibes. And the thing is, Jackie and I were talking about this last night, like we will never, ever remove these frames. Like you don't understand. The frames are a symbol of us not being able to be told what to do. Not only that, they're a symbol of our perseverance. People are always telling us, you suck, you suck. And we just stand tall and we do our jobs. These frames, people are like, why are the frames empty? Because it's us. We are the frames. This is Jackie and this is Claudia.

1:11:02And in the face of such judgment, such bigotry this week against our frames they have done nothing but stand by our side and that's what a queenie does it's so true and what I also love about the frames I was thinking um yesterday is there actually an homage to our first toe studio remember those chairs the gilded chairs yep and there we brought in a touch of our herstory like what we're just gonna sit in front of like this wallpaper and these part like we look like every other podcast like we need our frames like We are us. Yeah. And the thing is, is like, talk, talk, talk. Talk, talk, talk about the frames.

1:11:38They're not going anywhere much like us. Okay. That's what I'm saying. Did I overheat my queenie? And like keep rattling them off. Keep saying. Keep making them famous. Keep, they're not going anywhere. Did I overheat my queenie or no? No, you didn't. But we actually, I teed you up really nicely. Yeah. I was worried that maybe you were going to like talk about the frames before I could. no I wasn't going to talk about the frames because like much like the frames I was I was above it yeah of course but much like the frames sometimes I have to get down in the muck that's what I've been saying now weenie of the week my weenie of the week is a man by the name of Dexter Morgan um I think that the Gracie Abrams fandom writing it making a petition I'm always talking about how toxic stand culture can be and like this is the perfect example it's such crazy truly mentally ill behavior it's embarrassing the fact that it got to gracie is even more embarrassing um and that's just weenie like behavior honestly the people who created i don't know their real names but it was definitely like a group of three people who like thought they were like really about to slay the people who made that petition weenie majorly weenie like behavior my weenie of the week very um very innocuous yet upsetting and something that has stayed with me is that Jojo swiped left for Raymond on Raya.

1:12:58Girl, what are you doing? Seriously, what are you doing? Like, we, there has to be more to this story because, well, you just really thought the moment had passed. Like, no, this would be the greatest love story ever told. The greatest love story this town had ever seen. So, until I get a better reason, that's my weenie. I love that. That's our show.
