Good morning and welcome to the
show I'm Susie Wiley and we are
wasting no time this morning.
Diving right into a fresh round of hot
topics on today's panel we have two
fabulous writers from 425 magazine,
Andrew Hoagie and Monica Harts and New
Day's executive producer Joseph Suttner.
Good morning all good morning morning.
Yeah it's gonna be fun.
Yeah before we get to the hot topics did
you all enjoy your Mother's Day weekend?
Yes absolutely. What about you?
Monica what? What was that?
My son, my husband, our pup and
so had the family together.
Ordered out Mahe look at
that and the sun came out.
It was lovely. I felt blessed
is that Lake Sammamish Lake
Washington Lake Washington.
That's my son. And then our pups.
So beautiful, beautiful. Now Joseph,
I know you were visiting your mother.
Yes, I flew to Spokane on Friday.
All there's me and my mom Janice cute.
You said it was tough getting
him to take his peanut
was not super into taking the photo with me,
but she is super into be my mom which I
really appreciate so that's what matters.
And it was just a nice little weekend
on the east side of the state.
And Janice is gonna have fun when she
sees that picture this morning because
we know she loves to watch on new day.
Yes, from Spokane you can do that, you
know? Alright, Andrew, what about
you? Well, my mom lives in Yakima,
which is where I was born and raised.
So I was not able to visit her this weekend,
but I didn't give her a nice long
phone call and she will be up for her
birthday next weekend. So we'll make
up for it. Yeah, I love that.
Mine was very low key.
I will throw my 100 husband under the
bed a little bit on Saturday night
we were coming back from something
and I said oh I need to grab a few
things at QFC and he's like OK
and he drops me off. From the car.
And then I waited and I said, you know,
I don't know if you have something planned,
but I'm not cooking tomorrow.
Anyway, ohh and then he started going.
Can you get me? And ohh Scott.
Anyway he came through just fine and
beautiful dinner so but it was a lot of fun.
OK, let's get started.
First off,
we've all heard of the Shirley Temple
right with grenadine juice and Sprite or 7UP,
but there's something they're
saying is the drink of the summer
called The Dirty Shirley we all OK?
You all have one.
I just I'm not a drinker,
so I just have the straight.
This has vodka Sprite and
then the regular grenadine
fun little bit.
I have to admit I've never actually
had a regular Shirley Temple,
so I don't exactly know what
it's supposed to taste.
I hadn't either, but this is good,
but this is delicious. Yeah,
wait, neither of you have had a regular
Shirley Temple. No, I never have,
so now I'm hooked an adult Capri Sun.
We're thinking, yeah, who was like
the main audience of a Shirley Temple?
It's like kids that let's
kids are OK. Yeah, it's
totally like grew up on these
like you go to Red Robin.
Yeah, get him out.
Time my pie and a Shirley Temple
because he felt super super fancy,
so I went like into the mud
protecting not to like it,
but cause the only thing
dude like is my martinis,
but this is actually
really good. Yeah, there you go.
Alright Monica, what do you think?
I love it I I'm I'm hooked.
Yeah I'm gonna be a regular
this is what I've been missing all
my life I love that we we created a
drink for you well we didn't but we
introduced you to it Susie you saw
this on tick tock you said right I
did and they said it it's it's had so
many views and it's just it's vodka
added to the regular Shirley Temple.
I love that you called it an adult Capri Sun.
I think pre sign actually needs to start.
You know, tastes like that, right?
It does manufacturing in the little packets.
Can you imagine in the packet?
I love that. Alright, the drama
around Kim Kardashian's Met Gala look.
I know we have a lot of feelings about this.
She wore Marilyn monroes gown.
It wasn't created for her as a look alike,
but no, this is the actual gown
and a lot of I will say this.
A lot of curators are really having a
problem with this because even though
it was a private museum, it wasn't a
public museum and it's privately owned.
They still did not like the idea
that somebody took out a gown.
So historic.
And that she got to wear it.
But we've got feelings.
Andrew, I know as a fashion writer,
you have a lot of feelings
about this. Hmm, well,
to be honest when it when she first
stepped out on the carpet I was like wow,
that's like up on Michelle moment like hello,
she looked amazing but it's the
aftermath that kind of got me because
she started talking about, you know,
losing a bunch of weight and crash dieting,
which is not necessarily what I
think fashion should promote anymore.
It should. Celebrate,
you know everyone,
it just celebrate your body and I
just wasn't a fan of that so kind
of love to taste in my mouth.
She did say she had to lose
16 pounds to fit in it.
She tried to fit in it and it
didn't quite zip and so she had
to lose 15 pounds and that it
that didn't feel right.
What about you, Monica? I guess
for me. I mean you look gorgeous,
but why not be original?
I mean, this is your moment to shine
and and to put out your originality.
And why go on the dress tales of
someone else, not just someone else.
We're talking Marilyn Marilyn Monroe,
right? So I guess for me.
They came from Ripley's believe it or not,
I would say even though she looked beautiful,
I would say not not
yeah yeah and Joseph I know it
wasn't your favorite. Well I didn't
have super strong feelings on it,
but then Susie you were talking
more about kind of the message that
sends to young women and you know,
just women in general and that kind
of made me think more about it.
So I was glad that you offered
some perspective on that
in 2022 to say to have somebody
of her stature get up and say
I had to lose all this weight.
That that didn't feel good.
Especially as the mom of girls. That
yeah and I have a feeling she
probably as Kim K most likely
had other options out there.
I'm just gonna say like I
don't think she just had that
one dress only to fit into.
I think she probably had
options so I'm not sure.
I think you're the reasoning was there, but
OK, no segue to this. But the bird
flu not related to Kim Kardashian.
The bird flu is in Western Washington.
And here's the thing that you might not know.
Executive producer Joseph
Suttner has two fears in life.
One sinkhole sinkholes was
a is a big one, was it?
And and it was bird flu.
But now what are you feeling
before? Because the idea of
a pandemic seems so scary,
and I'm not downplaying pandemics.
Pandemics are scary,
but I will say after living through one,
I think I have a little more
like confidence in myself,
so I get through difficult things
just because living through COVID
was so just unpleasant and bizarre.
But we survived.
And you know, I was, you know,
took safety precautions and I yeah,
my thoughts on this have changed
so you're not as frightened of the bird flu.
I am not anymore, but. Still sinkholes,
it is still something to keep an eye on
because you know it is a serious illness.
But yeah, and then sinkholes,
mostly just because like they
can come out of anywhere. I mean
anywhere. It's scary. I don't know.
I thought about it now.
I mean, it's like we're living
in Florida where they
happen all the time. But
you know, what about the yeah
there is bird flu, a fear?
Or do you have other fears?
Nope, it's just me apparently
OK. Andrew Bird flu and I heard
on the radio this morning that
it is very not super harmful to
humans and it is unknown, right?
This happens every couple of years,
so it sounds like they're on
it and I'm happy about that.
Maybe I'll stay away from chicken
for a little bit, but otherwise I'm
not saying that. Just don't let your
bird hang out with the wild ones.
Monica any fears you wanna share with us.
Keeping my my dog Maximus.
Unleash when I walk him.
I don't want him to get into something
that maybe would would hurt him
and as far as the pandemic I mean,
as difficult as it has been.
I feel prepared in a way. I mean,
I have my arsenal of everything at home.
I know how to try to keep safe,
at least so I actually
have a little bit more.
I guess confidence there that I wouldn't
have known about prior to that,
but totally agree with Max
is on alleged baby.
I love that.
Keep Max on Alisha alright.
Well my hot topics panel
isn't going anywhere.
They'll be back for
more later in the show.
