Flying Solo From The Delta One Lounge

Morgan Stewart launches a solo episode of her podcast, embracing full glam and personal freedom after years of guest-driven hosting that caused anxiety. She reflects on a recent family trip to Mexico, detailing daily routines with her children, sensory challenges, and the use of specialized sun protection. She recounts the intense and emotionally draining kindergarten admissions process, where her family faced rejection from one school and ultimately chose a preferred one based on support and emotional alignment, while joining a parent WhatsApp group with cautious optimism. She also shares personal tech struggles, including inability to log into Wi-Fi or email, and critical observations about airline services, especially American Airlines’ redesigned first class. She praises the snack-packing trend inspired by a TikTok influencer, highlighting her love for nostalgic food like Tony Romas rib salads and black canned olives. Morgan reflects on pop culture, particularly the drama in *Summer House*, where she expresses empathy for Sierra’s feelings and critiques online outrage, emphasizing emotional maturity and the complexity of human relationships. She ends with excitement about a new show, *Margot’s Got Money Troubles*, which she praises for its strong writing and stellar cast, especially Michelle Pfeiffer, whom she calls a "perfect" actress with a timeless, youthful appeal. Morgan concludes with a personal note on leaving the show at 40 minutes—her "party exit"—and invites audience engagement on dating and relationship questions.

(upbeat music) - Hey everyone, I'm Morgan Stewart and welcome to the Morgan Stewart Show. I'm gonna be talking about pop culture, fashion, my personal life, and just a warning, I will be giving my opinions on everything. And those opinions are subject to change, okay? Now, let's get into it. Oh my God, I get to start you guys! Cody's in the booth, Jessica, my assistant's in the booth, Brendan's in the booth, Brendan, hi. You didn't answer it, no, that took a long time. That's weird, we got it, it's just waiting. You guys, I'm so excited, first of all, I'm gonna paint the scene, I just want everyone to know we have added lights to the Morgan Stewart Show. We have three or four lights, one, two, three, four lights. I'm in full glam. I'm in full glam today because I am no longer going to look like I am calling you Collect from Jail. The first few clips of this show were quite painful to watch. So I just had to take matters into my own hands and I had to complain and get some more lighting and then I finally bit the bullet and was like, you know what, it is time for glam. It is time for glam. I'm a glam girl, all the television I've done, I've had glam on and so here we are. Okay, let's move on from glam 'cause we don't need to talk about that. But I'm basically gonna be a gorgeous girly for you guys for the rest of time and I'm so excited about it. Cut to like me seeing this and still it not being good enough but still. Do my eyes look awake? Team? - Absolutely. - Thank you. Okay, I'm so excited, I feel so alive because I get to be alone in this fucking room in this Delta one lounge because I don't have to have a guest. So this is my first official podcast since we have launched the show by myself. Did I explain that well? Okay, good. So I don't have to talk to a guest for 45 minutes and be locked in and have massive anxiety which I have found is really triggering my anxiety to be honest because having to feel trapped into a conversation with somebody is really one of the worst experiences you can have. It's crazy and I have interviewed so many people that I like, I respect, I admire. I'm into what they're doing. I like their clothes and their makeup or whatever else they're doing and I just still am like, oh my God. Like I find myself in my mind constantly wanting to know how much time we have left and every time I get to that point, we have like 30 minutes only. Like we've only been into the conversation for 30 minutes and I'm like, well what the fuck are we gonna talk about for the next 45? Okay, so there's that. So let's go over a few things that we need to talk about. Number one, the show is officially launched. You guys love it, I'm so happy about that. We had the building or the billboard in Times Square. I did that. That was really exciting. I was really happy with launch week. I've basically gone viral a few times because of all of my guest spotting. So basically my guest spotting has been more popular than my actual show which we're gonna turn around now but like that's also very exciting. What else am I gonna talk to you about? I went to Mexico last week with my family. It was the kids were on spring break for literally two and a half weeks. You basically send them to private preschool for them to be off like they are, I don't know, like they have a medical leave. They are always off school. There's always some sort of holiday and whatever breaks you have, they are really extended beyond the necessary time. So we took the kids to Mexico. It was me, Jordan, my mom, rowing grade, no nanny because I'm a real mom, I'm involved. I was with those kids every single morning. We brought Susan to babysit but like she stayed in a different room and the kids stayed in their own room within our room. So they were up six o'clock in the morning and like Jordan and I were like, we were doing blended cocktails throughout the day. Well, I was doing blended cocktails throughout the day. Jordan just does to kill on the rocks with the side of orange, which is super chic. And then at night we would switch to red wine and the level of hungover we were every morning and the kids getting up between 5.45 and 6.15 was so brutal. But you know what, we just kept it going. So we were having like morning mimosas and then we were having our afternoon cocktail and then we were getting into dinner. But it was lovely. It was a lovely time to relax. We really enjoyed ourselves. I was in the sun but not that much in the sun. I really was very diligent about my sunscreen application. I feel like I'm at a point in my life where I just don't want to fry my body and then have my skin peel off and then have like a million new freckles. Do you know what I mean? Like I'm light on freckles but I just don't want it. I don't know, I'm having a harder time getting burned. Is this interesting? - Well, what SPF are you seeing? Like what brand? - Okay, so the kids are doing sunbomb because Roa is a sensory issue and she doesn't like cream being rubbed into her. So if you don't have kids, these are the things you get to look forward to. Okay? Your kid will come up with the craziest shit. Like the thing that you don't think about ever like rubbing in lotion, all of a sudden is a problem for one of the kids. So she needs to have a spray sunscreen. Grey is okay with like things being rubbed in. So she does sunbomb and then we do a vene. Do we do a vene? Is that the orange and white? We're Googling it. Yes, it's a vene. Yes, it's a vene. So that's a really good sunblock for the body. For the face, I always do jam marini sunblock. I put it on my sub-stack. Anyway, so that was fabulous. We did that separately from going to Mexico with the kids. Roa, 'cause we haven't had the official announcement. Roa got into kindergarten, okay? - I'm so happy for you. - Thank you. - This was like so stressful for us to hear. - Thank you. It was a fucking nightmare. It really took years off my life. And I am not the parent that is like super neurotic or hyped up on all this bullshit. But I will say the kindergarten process is so tedious and it doesn't matter if you are the most granola person. If you are trying to get your kid into a private school in Los Angeles, it is buck fucking wild in these streets. It is so much work, effort, all consuming. And you have to do all of these different events when you have a literal job. But we got into two schools. We got wait listed at two schools and then you know what happened? We got rejected from one. Rejected. Yeah, I'm never even gonna look at them again. I'm never even gonna walk by them. It was a school that we absolutely did not wanna go to and had no intentions of going to, but I still think they should wait list us. We're wait list people, right? That was upset about that. That was rude. I thought it was, and I thought I killed the interview, which obviously I didn't. It was a very buttoned up school. And like Jordan can play buttoned up. I, they clearly know like I'm a little kooky crazy and like say bad words and like, I don't know, gets sluddy. I can't be going to that school. But we got into the two schools we really wanted to and I'm gonna be honest with you. The school that we, how do I wanna say this? We got into both schools. I preferred one over the other and I felt we were more accepted at the one I wanted to go to. I think that we've vived with them better. Ultimately, we decided to go to the other school for a multitude of reasons. And I did not wanna make an emotional decision by myself and then regret it. And Jordan, as you've met him, as you know him, was very supportive and said look, I will do whatever you want. I just want you to be happy at the end of the day. And he wanted her to go to the school. My in-laws wanted her to go to the school. My mom wanted her to go to the school. Like it really felt like a familial decision and everybody wanted that. I was the only one who wanted to go to the different school. And I didn't want in five months to be like fuck and then have no one to be able to turn to. So we ended up going choosing the school that she's now going to. I'm very grateful that she got into the school. I think she's gonna thrive and do incredibly well 'cause she's a very feisty, smart little angel. But I would be lying if I didn't say that I didn't have some reservations. So we'll see how it goes. I'm now in a WhatsApp group chat with all the parents. God, you die. (laughing) Let's look it up. Let's see how many fucking members are in this God damn chat. It is so crazy. And I got in through like a random person. There's 31 members in this group. I put everyone's like, I'm blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I was like, I'm Rose Mama. I also, these are people that probably have preconceived notions of me. I'm just really hoping that I meet a few cool moms that have my back and I can have theirs. I am definitely going to go into this experience. Very tight-lipped and I am actually going for the first time in my life to watch myself because I am very loose-lipped. I react very quickly. I'm emotionally impulsive. And I say things for humor sometimes if you might have noticed and I don't wanna get caught up in a situation where I have my own version of high school drama within these parents. Was that mature? It's so mature. I like taking notes. I really wanna go into this with like, this is not my experience, this is my daughter's experience. I'm going to best support her and best be there for her. Rose going to be best friends with the girl whose mom I don't like. She's gonna like me, obviously, obviously. But I'm not gonna like her. But that's what's gonna happen. But she is going to go to a birthday party this weekend of one of the girls that she does not know well but they're gonna go to the same school which I thought was really sweet. So I'm excited about that. But Rose very, you know, she takes her time. She's in Aquarius and she's young and it's gonna be a big transition for her and I am just like, I'm a little nervous. I think every mom in my position would be nervous. She's gonna be great. My mom said it best to me. She said, you are not going back to school. Your daughter is going to school. She is gonna thrive. She's gonna be fine and she can handle it and basically don't project onto her, your insecurities and your difficulties, which I respect and understand but I think that Rose and I are also very similar. Like, she's constantly throwing tantrums. and is very angry at me a lot. And she, because she can't manage her emotions, but I'm her safe space, right? Like everything she holds in all day long with her friends and her teachers, like she gets to basically tell me in whatever five year old language to fuck off. Because she knows I'm gonna be her rock and I'm gonna be solid with her forever. And that's how my mom was. All the frustration I couldn't take out on my friends or my classmates or boyfriends, I would take out on my mom because what the fuck else are you there for, right? So I want her to feel that sense of rage, that safe rage that she can have with me, but I don't know. We shall see. And now this saga doesn't end because I have to now apply gray in September as well, which the other kicker is, the school that Roe is gonna go to is not known for just allowing siblings to come in right after. So in the one in a millionth chance, I shouldn't say that. Let's knock on some shit right now 'cause I don't need to have that fucking karma. It's just not guaranteed that gray's gonna get in. And I don't wanna then, so I have to apply him to the school she's gonna go to and then I have to apply him to a safe school. So do I apply him to the school that I originally thought she should go to? Probably. - I think you should do it. - I think so too. We did send, we did first choice, that school. And then we obviously, with we have some other things going on that we're moving and blah, blah, blah, we won't get into that. Logistically, it didn't make as much sense. So we did send head of admissions flowers to basically say, like it was always you. What's that term when boys are like, they're like. - Love bomb me. - Yeah, we loved bomb them. We loved bomb the admissions with flowers, which we really wanted to send. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) - Okay, that's enough about that. Let's talk about some other shit. What else is going on in real time? I have a wrangly release tomorrow my spring summer 26. Has anyone looked at it, Brendan? Do you have you looked at it online? No, you don't even know what the fuck that is. Okay, it's my clothing line. - I'm sorry, but I'll look later. - You should look, it's gorgeous. We're doing Arganza. You guys have already, you're probably gonna own that by the time it comes out, but we have that. So I've been basically spending all my days and nights coming up with social. Why does the bright line keep texting me about a personal loan application? - Is that spam? - Yeah. - It's only ever since spam. - I don't need a loan from bright line. How do I block that? It's every day. - I'll block it. - Do I owe them money? - No. - Okay. (laughing) - There was like a scam. Every time I always am caught up in some scam. What was the scam? The North Folk County jail was like you need to come. - Yeah, they're like you need to pay this. - You need to pay your, yeah, you need to show up or something. - I literally am like my dad. Like I'm like, oh, don't see pay this. We're getting scammed. I mean, while like paying $30,000 to random fucking people for no reason, what's to live her? - Yeah. - And you were like, I think this is real. No, I honestly, I have absolutely no ability in terms of any technology or social media. I want you to know two camera. Let me sit up straight 'cause my Versace Capri's, which I'm in green Versace Capri's. Thank you Valentino Hill are digging into me. I am the talent. I can't be log and into shit. I don't know my password for any email. Not one. Not one email. I don't know my password for my shopping, my online shopping websites. I don't know them. The only number I know is my phone number. My husband's phone number. I know that one. My best friends are from seventh grade. And I know my social. Thank you. You know what I also can't do? I can't log into Wi-Fi on planes. (laughs) - I can't do that either. I don't know. It's impossible. - No, it is. What the fuck, American? First of all, I am, oh, we, fire. I was so worried we had nothing to talk about. We have so much stuff. - Having to log into the Wi-Fi on an airplane. First of all, I have a frequent flyer mile for every airline. No idea where they are. I don't know where they are. Why isn't it saved? I don't know how I miss every email. I am so discombobulated when it comes to technology. Another thing I want to talk about, you ready? Are we sat? - Where's that? - American Airlines. I was an avid American airline flyer. I only flew American, okay? We flew American two months ago. They have changed their first class. No, no, no, no. They have basically gone from 10 first class seats to 24. You are basically in a rat cage. It is a cubicle that faces the complete opposite way from the window. There's 35 of you in this first class cabin. It is so claustrophobic. It is so poorly designed. I cannot believe that somebody thought that that was a good idea. And they are actually executing and continuing on with this. I rather sit in the very back of the plane. Is that relatable? Good. It's insane. It is the worst, so now I can't fly American Airlines anymore. And I just figured out how to log onto their Wi-Fi. Yeah, that's what happened. So now we're flying, what are we flying? - United. - United. - United. Let me tell you what happened on the last time I flew United. They had to switch planes last minute. And I basically flew Southwest to New York for six hours. Did not recline. There was no TV. There was a TV. Barely was a TV. I was seated next to the largest man, 68, I had to literally do Karma Sutra to get to the bathroom. I had to like cartwheel and flip over him to go pee. It was crazy as flying experience. But I will say after two, almost three years of flying to New York consistently for Wrangley. Flying into Newark versus JFK, after I had been told for years by my business partners to do it, is the best decision I've ever made? Do we have thoughts on Newark versus JFK? - So much better. It's 20 minutes instead of an hour now. - It's, have you guys flown into Newark? - I haven't, but I had another host that said-- - No, there's other hosts. - I'm sorry, the D for you. - I can be part of the other hosts. This is the ordinance. Hello? - I said, okay, Brendan cut that. - Brendan, no, Brendan, keep it in. I want everyone to know what my producer said about another host. Okay, keep it in. Tell me, Newark, awful. - I haven't done it, Brendan. - It's been a long time, but I don't remember, oh. - You have no service, we didn't hear that Brendan. Keep that in too. I want people to know how real this is. - Oh yeah. It's been a long time, but I don't remember if being a good experience. - No, Newark is great. It is so close to the city, JFK, is like, you're basically flying to Rome. It takes all day. Then you're in the car for two hours, we've took a six o'clock in the morning flight, which I do want to know from you guys, if you're listening, who you are, are watching. Watching, what plane snacks are we bringing on the airplane when we are flying at six o'clock in the morning? What are we bringing? Because what happens is, I'm getting cold oats. There's no protein in oatmeal. That's for horses. Confirmed? Confirmed. I could plan a snack the night before, but I don't know what snack that should be. And you can't bring hard boiled eggs onto the plane. - You could. - Isn't that rude? - That is a crime. - Huh? - That is a crime. - So what else do you bring? - That's-- - Bring, yeah, I bring a trail mix. - Oh my God. - I know. - Oh my God. - But then I'm also, you know, the gluten-free dairy-free. So I have to make, this is like, I can't take any snacks, it sucks. So then I have to really think about it. And then I'm like, I'm bringing more than I actually even need on the flight. And then I come home with like protein bars smushed. And I'm like, why didn't I even bring-- - Why didn't I even-- I hate this goddamn protein bar. But you know what I actually, in real time, as I was thinking about it. So I did see this girl on TikTok who packed a snack pack. Well, it was acquired style. That's Dan, that's not Danielle. Bridget. Bridget is acquired style. I followed Danielle. Anyway, so I saw acquired style. She had her friend pack, her snack pack. What is her friend's name? Is it Sierra, am I wrong? - Is it Kit Keenan? - No. - It wasn't Kit Keenan. I like Kit Keenan. - She always does, like airport snacks. - Oh, she does? Where am I on these girlies? No, it was, I think her name was Sierra. Let's verify. But I think her name was Sierra. Oh yes, it's up. Okay, so snack pack, I love this plain box. Her friend, I love her friend. Does it say Sierra? - Sierra Miller. - Sierra Miller. Okay, she made this snack pack. There was like nuts and, I mean, just delicious little things, we need to start doing that. Okay, and I definitely think since I'm incorporating cottage cheese into my diet now, 'cause protein, protein, and all of those snacks, like that is the kind of stuff I want to do. Just like sweet, tasty, tangy treats that are delicious at all hours of the day. I don't want to be shovel and horse hay down my goddamn gullet. I don't want to do it, you know? - It's crazy. She has gerk and pickles in this snack. - By the way, I love gerk. So we called them corny shones, because my mom is, we met her, she's fucking out of it. Well, she, by the way, I want to just rectify what she said. She in the clip says, I had a business and took kids to raise. You had no business when I was born. There was no business when I was like literally alive. So that was definitely gone by the time I was two. So I don't know what you were doing all day, but it wasn't running that business. So I love her memory. But anyway, snack packing it is, But I could eat those pickles at any time of the day. I love pickles and all. "Oh, that's something. Jordan hates olives. Dr. Phil hates olives. My dad loved olives. My mom hates olives. Where are we on olives?" Okay, but what olives? Because I will say my family only eats, this is crazy, the canned black olives. I love a black canned olives. They're great, but they won't touch anything else, but my aunt does. She'll buy like different stuffed green, and no one will touch it, except for me in my aunt. What's so weird about you saying that, and then I want to hear from you guys about the olives, my aunt Robin, who's my dad's sister, which is weird because that's also my mother-in-law's name, and I just put that down. That is so weird. She had black canned olives. She lived in Northridge, so that was my first experience with the valley. Growing up, my dad's like, "Why is Robin in the valley?" Those black canned olives on a green salad with shredded carrots and a little ranch, you better fuck me up, you better fuck it up. Right? That's what you know what I'm talking about. It's classic. What? Oh, everyone is. Okay, we're talking about it in 1998. Okay. That's a classic salad. You're going to get it anywhere. It is. Yeah. Have you been to Tony Romas? Of course, I've been to the valley. Have you never been to. Have you Brendan? No. Never. Brendan, where? What is happening? What is happening? Tony Romas is a rib. Have you been to Tony Romas pre-vegan? No. This is crazy. We need it. Okay. So, Roxy and I, first of all, I grew up going to Tony Romas. It was in the valley because we always went hiking as a family in the red rocks and far away. So then on the way back, we would always stop at these random places that Susan barely could get out of the car to get in due because she was like, "What is this establishment?" I am Swiss. We don't eat fucking Ruby Tuesdays or whatever the fuck it is. But these were the only places to run. Tony Romas was a rib place. We would get a half-slab and that green salad and that ranch to this day. I've never had ranch dressing like this on this salad. It is ice cold and I think they've closed all locations. Can we get a quick Goog search on that? It is the best. There's one in Carson and Anaheim. Okay. So, when we hit a mill. What's a good threshold? What's a good. What is it called? Like, thing you want to hit flat to the chest. Are downloads? No. Yeah. Like, what's a good amount of down. Because I'm going to take us all the cars and I'm going to get this car and we're going to go there and we're going to document it. I mean, this is hard because I'm going to make those downloads a lot lower just to go. Okay. So, what's a good. What's a real and then a fake? Okay. Real. We'll go to 500 and then fake. Let's hit a million. But I want it. I think 500 is going to be achievable really fast. Okay. I need 500,000 of you to listen to this because we got to go to Carson Beach. There is no experience like it. The fries are perfect. Even if it's sitting out for two hours and it's cold, I'll still eat it. I will. Even if it McDonald's fries like at the bottom of the bag after a few hours and you find them, I'll eat them. No problem. Look at the kicking shrimp. See, I never did any of the. Oh, and I do love an onion loaf. I'm not going to lie. And I love an onion rink. Can you fucking die? I die for an onion rink. The onion loafs Sarah are on parallel. No, I can. This reminds me so much of like when I didn't have like massive anxiety and could just eat and not have a fucking panic attack. I did a podcast yesterday and I was like, oh god. And then we were sitting down talking and I was like, this is just anxiety, right? She's like, yeah, that's a salad. No, that's a Caesar. I don't fuck with a Caesar. Not the Asian salad, not the classic. Oh, the potato soup's pretty good. See, they don't even have it. It's just like the green garden. I love a green salad and I love all kinds of olives. That was the long way to let you guys know that I love all kinds of olives. Green olives, black olives, but I don't like. What am I talking about? Can you believe people are going to listen to this? I don't like martinis. Do you guys like martinis? Yes, but it has to be dirty. You? Yeah, not a huge fan. No, so what do you drink and what's your drink? I like whiskey and tequila. What kind of tequila? Cosmigos. Cosmigos to grown ice is really good too. Okay. And 1942, they're sending me PR now. Thank you. I mean, my mother-in-law basically spends a gazillion dollars like getting it for us, but we get it for free now, so. And you don't drink or do you drink? I don't drink anymore, but I was just thinking about like, I prefer mezcal. And barama isn't there anymore. He switched it to something else, but he had a mezcal negroni on tap that was so good. Wow. I don't think I've ever had. Have I had a negroni? I must have, right? I'm like very clear liquor like I'm doing tequila on the rocks or a skinny margarita or I'm drinking wine. I don't drink any vodka anymore at all because I used to drink it from the bottle and that's just crazy. I can't be doing vodka, right? Vodka's nuts. We also, I forgot going back to Wrangley because somebody just tagged me and I obviously have to look at my phone while I talk to you because otherwise it gets too intimate and personal. We had a gifting suite yesterday and it was really cute and all the girls are tagging me and I'm really excited. I also went on the John Hill show here on radio. He didn't have me float for the full hour, which is okay. He only had me for 20 minutes, but I invited him on. And I told him that to Andy Cohen, I need to be on Watch What Happens Live. Don't you guys think so? Yeah. Why have I never been? Do I have to become a housewife? My agent emailed me yesterday or texted me and she was like, are you trying to do watch Beverly Hills Housewives? And I was like, no, I just want to be on Watch What Happens Live. You know what I mean? Would it be, I love when they bring on people to be a bartender and it's really unexpected. So he was like, do you want to be on the show or do you want to be a bartender? And I was like, I don't think I'm a bartender. I can't talk. It like quips. I need to be able to extend my convo. But I'd probably be very nervous. Don't you think? No, I'd get through it. You would say you were nervous and then you'd start taping in to be great. That's who I am. I'm always like, I can't handle it. And then I do a really good job. But so we'll see. That's TBD. But I hope that this gets across Andy Cohen's desk and he invites me on. Okay, let's talk about something else. First of all, last night, I wrote notes. Can you even believe this? If I could find my notes up on my phone, that would be great. Hmm, I started a new show. Can you believe I wrote that down? Very impressed. Right? I like have some notes. There's three notes. It says L-fan and good actress. That's my first note. So we started. Margot, Margot's got money trouble. So basically Jordan and I, like every other married couple lay in bed at night. And he's like, you don't want to watch anything I want to watch. And then he always suggests Batman. I'm like, dude, we're not working with boys together in this room. Like, I don't want to watch fucking Batman for the 800th time. Only Christian Bale for me, though. Just want to say that. And or he'll like want to watch movies about like drugs and shooting and like, I don't know, something with Denzel. And I'm like, it's like 830. Like, I want to be a bed in two hours. I can't be like, you know, stressed out. Or and I don't want to watch a psychological thriller before bed. That's like a weekend watch, right? Like that's not a Wednesday watch. I need light. He will not partake in any housewife watching. So I'm behind. I need to start ladies of London. And I need to start finish Beverly Hills. And I need to like get caught up on summer house because oh, didn't even me didn't even mean to stop and that. So I, this is obviously going to be probably old news. But you know what? It's okay. Because no one's heard me talk about it. So that's fine. Just to quickly touch on summer house. I did not know. I only know page to Sorbo. I don't know anyone else from the cast. I had recently two weeks to go at sunset tower. I was coincidentally at sunset tower eating dinner with my husband and some of our friends that we go to preschool with. Our kids go to preschool with. And I walked by Blakely Thornton who I know obviously from from yesterday's who host it with Justin Sylvester. And I love him. And we have a very close online relationship. He was with Sierra. So I met her two days before all of this crazy shit happened. And she was like, hi, I was like, oh my god, we haven't met. How are you? She's uncomfortably beautiful. It's like, oh, so you're just like nothing distorts your face when you're on camera. You just fucking look like that. That's crazy. Because clearly based on the clips I have of this show, the camera fucks with you and really add some fucked up shit that you don't have. She's gorgeous. She sweet. We got in touch the next day. I'm going to send her some clothes, whatever. Cut to two days later. West is it West or West West West West West. Let me adjust my titties. West and Amanda. There's something kind of interesting about Amanda too, the way she looks. I kind of like her vibe. Are now dating. And they come out with this fucking thing. So basically Sierra, for those of you who don't know which I assume most of you know, Sierra and West dated. And Amanda and Sierra are best friends. Amanda goes through a divorce or is currently going through a divorce with their other cast mate. Cook. What's the name Kyle Kyle? Is this last name cook? Yeah, I think Kyle cook DJ Kyle cook. And Amanda, I guess gets close with West and basically betrays Sierra. So I started I was like, look, I'm a pop culture savant. I need to be in this mix because if I want to touch on it on the Morgan's or show, Brendan, I need to be able to I started in season eight because that's where somebody told me to start. It was an tough notch for me. I just basically like enjoy page. I think she's gorgeous. Sierra gorgeous. I didn't really. There was a first season West came in. So I'm still like, I've only seen two episodes. So maybe I need to give it some time. What I will say about the situation is unfortunately, as you get older, this idea of never being able to betray your best friend over something. over a circumstance or situation like this becomes more realistic. It just does. People find themselves in very uncomfortable, disheartening places. You're not emotionally intact. You're not using your right mind. And I'm not making any excuses for Amanda. I will say I do not like the entire internet attacking somebody. You don't know these people. They are not your friends. They are television stars that you watch and you are allowed to form an opinion. But you have no idea about somebody's baseline. You just cannot have an entire swarm of people attack this one girl because God forbid something happens, right? That you can't take back. You know, we have to have some responsibility and like live in the real world. Was it the right thing for her to do that? Probably not. Not on paper. No. Is Sierra better than West? Sierra is going to skyrocket into the superstar she is. She has an aura. She's a gorgeous girl. And right now she probably feels really bad about what's going on. And she's hurt and she's disturbed because she's like, this was my fucking bitch. Like I was there for you through everything. So I don't want to discount the situation. And I'm not saying it's not messy. I just have seen it now happen a few times. It's very different when you're 22. You're like a gaggle of girls. But when you get older and life starts to happen and people connect more than other people, people follow through with that. And at the end of the day, Jordan has said this to me so many times. People are people. And you can throw stones and you can say I would never do something like that. I've done a lot of things in my life that I never thought I would do. And sometimes you're in a position where you are not the best version of yourself and things happen. So let's just be a little bit. Let's let them figure it out and then wait for the reunion. Is that good advice? Very good advice. Brendan, were you moved? I was very moved. I thought so. But yes, I do love Sierra. But back to what the fuck was I talking about before that whole long segue into summer house? Like so effortlessly. Oh, my new show. Don't even. Who's a host? Who's a host? My mid heavens and Gemini. Okay. All right. So Margot's got money troubles. So just to preface, we found this show last night. I agreed to watch it. And it ended up being really, really good. We watched two episodes. The last. The second episode is a little foggy because we kind of started to doze off. But it's by David E. Kelly who did. Well, he wrote the practice and he's also the husband of Michelle Pfeiffer. Michelle Pfeiffer is in this big little lies. He wrote big little lies. Michelle Pfeiffer is in this show. And I think she's in another show right now. What's that show? She's in another show everyone keeps talking about. It's like a landman spin off kind of. Yes. What is it? Oh my gosh. Hold on one second. I'll get it. Google. I'm spinning around for the audience. The Taylor Sheridan. Yeah. It's the tail. The landman creator. The one that doesn't like Kevin Costner. Kevin Costner. Madison. Okay. She's in the Madison. She's also in Margot's got money troubles. Michelle fucking Pfeiffer. This woman looks incredible. I don't know if she took her face off and repositioned it, but it is perfect. She looks age appropriate, but she looks taught her skin looks like there was a fresh CO2. The veneers are veneering in the best way. She's such a good actress. I fucking die for that woman. I googled her birthday last last night, obviously, which I don't remember. I think she's a tourist. But I know that her Aquarius is in her mid-Haven as in Aquarius. And I think her husband's a Virgo. Did I just make all that up? She was born April 29th. Okay. She's a tourist. Okay. And then what is her moon? What's her full? Do Astro charts. They're the best. Her moon is Virgo. Okay. And then what's her husband? What's David E. Kelly's birthday? Aries. Okay. Yeah. What's his moon? Does it say? Do we not have a forecarn? What's his Venus? Or rising? Gemini. Oh, she's Gemini rising. His Venus is Gemini. Okay. This is what I fuck. This is why I Google everybody. People that have been married for a long time. So she is tourist son, Gemini rising. His love language, his like how he loves people is in Gemini, which is her rising, which is an extremely compatible astrological alignment and placement. But anyway, the show is amazing. Elfanning. She's an incredible actress. She's very good in the show. I had a thought about her. I was like, Elfanning can never get older. It would be weird to see Elfanning look older. Is that right? She's like forever a young baby-faced girl. Like I can't imagine Elfanning at 45. Like she's Cinderella. Does that track for everyone? Totally. Yeah. Brandon's looking at me like bitch, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, but that's fine. But yeah, that's so my notes literally said, Elfanning, good actress, she can never get old. And then my last note, are you ready for my last note? Michelle Pfeiffer looks so good. Oh my god. Yeah. So those were my really hard hitting notes. Was there anything else I needed to update my audience on? I'm watching this show. It's based on a book. I read strangers, huh? Yeah, it's going to say you can talk about the book. Oh, yeah. I read strangers, Bell Burton's book. On the airplane. I read it in one day. It's like the only book I've ever read. I'm kidding. I'm not kidding. And it's amazing. It's so good. I did have some people reach out to me and say that they didn't find it that crazy and most of their friends have had worst divorces. And I was kind of like, okay, great. But anyway, I just want to say we're at 40 minutes. And I, you know what, Sarah Jessica Parker said, even though she did many reboots or seasons of, I want to say rich kids at Beverly Hills. She said it's always extremely important to know when to leave a party. And I think 40 minutes is when I leave the party. And I'm just going to say I'm so excited to be doing solo episodes. I really think I just thrive by myself. Hopefully you've listened to this whole thing. Otherwise, that's going to be fucking awkward for me thinking this was great. If you didn't, it's okay because then I'm just going to have another fucking guest on. Also, next time I'm going to post this, but I want, we need all your dating questions, all your relationship questions and all your things. Okay, can I say bye? Yeah. Okay, bye. Everyone should say bye. Bye, bye. Ta-ta. The Morgan Stewart Show is produced by Sirius XM and me, Morgan Stewart. Our senior producer is Judith Cargbo. Our audio engineer is Brendan Burns.
