No, sometimes it's like, oh, like, the morning was really great, and then, like, it kind of just became a normal day after that, you know, which is, like, on my birthday, on Mother's Day. I guess those are really, like, my holidays, you know? Like, I want from sunup to sundown to be, like, no one stops talking about how great I am, you know? Fair. And Nick did a great job of that.
Very quickly at night, I did ask for three minutes of being inside of each other's skin, and he...
allowed three minutes did we set a timer oh and the second it hit 10 12 he was like all right it was 10 09 she's like until 10 12 yeah yeah and it wasn't like a normal snug i like a snug this was it was a smug inside your skin this was a suffocation i had to hold my breath for three were you on a couch we were in bed so it's cozy yeah sierra thank you for picking up the gift oh you did yeah
Oh, you didn't know?

I thought that was Cindy who was doing all of that.
No, I asked Sierra.

Chapter 2: What are the updates on the Karen Read case?
Right. And I got a free glass of champagne, so. Did you? You're welcome. Period.
Period. Period. No, I woke up and Nick let me sleep in. To what time? And we love. He let me do that last year.
What time did you sleep in to? Eight. Okay.
Oh, wow.
That's good. That's good.
Really? Eight.
I didn't wake her up.
No, you did bring River in. That's true. I brought River in with a gift. So you did wake me up. You literally woke me up. You brought River in and she went, Mama! And you said, Happy Mother's Day. We have a gift. And you gave me a card and a present. And Rivvy gave me... Correction.
It was 8.45. I know this because I looked at the clock and I said, well, River's going to have to go down for her nap soon. And I imagine Mom's going to want to see daughter before she goes down for her first nap.

Chapter 3: What insights does Tom Schwartz share about Summer House?
Okay. It was just an interesting looking card.
There was like an owl on the front. There was a wall of Mother's Day cards, and I was like, there was a wall of Mother's Day cards, and I went eeny, meeny, miny, and I'll take this one.
There was a bedazzled owl on the front, and at first I was like, is this even a Mother's Day card? It might have said, like, Happy Groundhog's Day or something. I'm not sure. Well, our daughter was born on Groundhog's Day, so that would have... No, she was. Happy Mother's Day. Yeah, and it was a very beautiful written card. Nick wrote a very sweet message, and River also wrote me a sweet message.
It's very hard to get her to write these days, isn't it?
Yeah, it is. I don't know if she's left or right-handed. We switched hands.
We don't know it feels more natural yet. I just did it for our moms.
We're like, hold this.
She's like, no.
literally she's like this oh wait she actually wrote it yeah we like hold her hand around the pen and like i thought you're saying nick wrote it because sometimes the parents will switch their hand no okay we like hold the pen in river's hand and try it out that's cute okay it's sweet i wanted to know if nick did a like choreographed dance for you no that's what everybody has to do on mother's day any choreographed dance not one ounce of it but i did get a bottega back

Chapter 4: What are the implications of Taylor Swift being subpoenaed?
There's two different conversations. So there's the one where Drew was saying, like, oh, I could pay for all of Portia's kids' college.
That was Shamia and Angela. And Shamia repeated that exactly how it was said.
And then there was a different conversation where Shamia and Angela spoke. This was isolated, I believe, from everybody else.
And Shamia told Angela how she felt. Then Angela got with Portia one on one and was like, just so you know, this is how Shamia feels. But definitely caused more drama than helping patch things up. Because I do love that Angela's like, I like to put everybody together and I like to fix everything. She's like, so just girl, just so you know, your best friend thinks you're talking shit.
Doesn't want to be a lapdog. Literally.
Yeah.
I just did that to get you riled up.
I did. Listen, Shamia repeated exactly what Drew said. And I would also be very pissed off if another woman is saying she's going to send my daughter to college with the money she's making with my husband. Especially because you have your own kids. Yeah. You have your own kids. And clearly a husband who's not helping.
And I'm also confused. So is Dennis saying that... he's not sleeping with Drew, that Drew's actually sleeping with someone else. But there's a text message that Drew propositioned for free music.
