Gossip is one of those things that's only fun when it's not about you, which is why

shows like Gossip Girl in Bridgerton, I think have been so successful.

Like people love a juicy piece of information, like you think one thing is going on and then you get

lady whistled down society papers to tell you what's actually going on someone's got a

mistress someone's having a child out of wedlock very scandalous stuff is going on like if you thought

like tablays and gossip are bad now that's mainly aimed at celebrities

this like gossip at this level and especially when you're watching in

Bridgeton and like then the Regency area era in the early 1800s gossip was

so thick and it was about like your neighbors.

So this was a real thing?

Yes.

Oh, I didn't know that.

I mean like this isn't real but yeah as far as societal papers, like if your daughter like went off and married somebody or got pregnant beforehand, that was scandal and it made it in the newspapers.

And it would ruin your family. And it would ruin reputations the newspapers and it would ruin your family

and it would ruin reputations ruin the family yeah it's like it was it was it was

page six on steroids about like literally your neighbors now Now we have what the next door

app yeah pretty much.

You get all that now.

To Moab for celebrities but you're right it's just for the nobility so I think

one of the reasons I love period drama so much is that

the stakes are so high for things that don't matter nowadays like you can
