- 0:56Speaker 1: we're doing Real Housewives of Orange County. As I was
- 1:01Speaker 1: trying to bat down the hatches here because I'm recording.
- 1:05Speaker 1: You know, I've got a house full of you know, parents,
- 1:07Speaker 1: and Maddie's not in school, and Brett hadn't left for
- 1:10Speaker 1: work yet, and you know, my dad was on speakerphone
- 1:13Speaker 1: with some sort of customer service as per usual. Maddie's
- 1:17Speaker 1: down to it, oh yeah, trying, and my mom is
- 1:22Speaker 1: you know, got her morning shows at full blast in
- 1:25Speaker 1: the living room. Maddie is just gaming with her friends
- 1:29Speaker 1: on her iPad. Brett surprisingly was you know, quiet as
- 1:33Speaker 1: a mouse, trying to sneak out. Yeah, I had to
- 1:35Speaker 1: really tell everybody to quiet the h down. And you
- 1:39Speaker 1: know what Deanna said. I I was saying, my dad's
- 1:42Speaker 1: on speakerphone and I needed him to like leave the
- 1:46Speaker 1: room and go somewhere. And she was like, well, he
- 1:48Speaker 1: made it your business, you know. So I videotaped him.
- 1:52Speaker 1: I videotaped him, and I I went ahead and sent
- 1:58Speaker 1: it to Katie's husband, you know. But that's all I
- 2:01Speaker 1: showed it to, is Katie's husband. That's it. No one else,
- 2:04Speaker 1: not no, and certainly.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Not obviously Jen. Not Jen.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Why don't we begin at the beginning with a scalp massage,
- 2:15Speaker 1: red light therapy, and you know, a SPA day with
- 2:17Speaker 1: Gena and Katie, which was just a delight to see
- 2:21Speaker 1: all this happening, you know, you Orange County. Last week
- 2:25Speaker 1: we were basically straddling some sort of apparatus. Nice to
- 2:28Speaker 1: see that we're not doing that this week, and we're
- 2:32Speaker 1: just getting scalp massages and some wonderful light BA treatments.
- 2:37Speaker 1: And then we move on to basically a Tamera versus
- 2:41Speaker 1: Jen split scene. We've got two of the different pairs.
- 2:46Speaker 1: They're aligning with each other. And so we've got Emily's
- 2:49Speaker 1: house with Tamera. So Tamra and Emily are talking about Jen,
- 2:54Speaker 1: and then Shannon, Heather and Jen are talking about Tamera,
- 2:58Speaker 1: and we're seeing the back and of course, which is always,
- 3:01Speaker 1: you know, a fun way to hear the different sides
- 3:05Speaker 1: with the Tarmra situation. She is like, Jen can't move
- 3:09Speaker 1: on from like from last year. She just can't move on.
- 3:11Speaker 1: And then meanwhile, Gretchen's now come in and she's taking up.
- 3:16Speaker 1: She's like, Jen, can I pull you? And basically Jen's like, Gretchen,
- 3:19Speaker 1: can I pull you? Can we pull each other and
- 3:22Speaker 1: go against Tamra te Yeah, which is a pretty phenomenal
- 3:28Speaker 1: execution of a storyline here because it takes a gaggle
- 3:32Speaker 1: of gals to go against Tarmra for sure.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:36Speaker 1: And so with that being said, Tamra is like, I
- 3:40Speaker 1: listened again to the podcast and I don't think I
- 3:42Speaker 1: said anything bad, And I'm like, wow, you know, wow,
- 3:49Speaker 1: we you know she was like that. Tamra accuses Gretchen
- 3:53Speaker 1: of going on her daughter's Facebook page when her daughter,
- 3:55Speaker 1: Sidney was a minor at the time, and then commenting, yeah,
- 3:59Speaker 1: totally mess totally weird, completely messy. But Tamra went on
- 4:04Speaker 1: her podcast talked about the funeral, the services for Slade's son,
- 4:12Speaker 1: and we get a flashback of them listening to the podcast,
- 4:16Speaker 1: you know, like a bunch of them. I don't know
- 4:17Speaker 1: who was anyone who's on Tamra's side. Right here we
- 4:21Speaker 1: have Tamra saying, you know what she said on to
- 4:23Speaker 1: Teas in a pod, and Emily and Gina are like, no,
- 4:29Speaker 1: that's not that's not really that good, and Gas like, yeah,
- 4:33Speaker 1: that does.
- 4:34Speaker 3: It doesn't sound good at all, Tamara.
- 4:38Speaker 1: So that's where we landed, and Tarma's still sticking to
- 4:41Speaker 1: it's not that bad you really think about it. And
- 4:44Speaker 1: when Gretchen laid on that line last week, it's not
- 4:46Speaker 1: the same thing. It really isn't. I mean, Tamar went
- 4:50Speaker 1: for the jugular. She goes so hard, and and the
- 4:53Speaker 1: fact that, like she talks about how she's crying so
- 4:57Speaker 1: much lately because of what's going on with Teddy and
- 5:00Speaker 1: what's going on with Sydney. It's heartbreaking, you know, because
- 5:04Speaker 1: you want to have all the empathy in the world.
- 5:06Speaker 1: I mean, well you do. I mean, it's okay, we
- 5:08Speaker 1: can compartmentalize, but for her to not actually have the
- 5:14Speaker 1: ability to see how that could be so hurtful is
- 5:17Speaker 1: such a bizarre.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's where she loses so many people,
- 5:23Speaker 2: because she genuinely has like an inability right, and that
- 5:30Speaker 2: just is impossible to deal with.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Yes, you know how there was a conversation with Heather
- 5:38Speaker 1: and who was it? They was saying, are you scared
- 5:41Speaker 1: of Tamera who said that to her?
- 5:43Speaker 2: Was it Jen?
- 5:44Speaker 1: Right?
- 5:45Speaker 2: Because it was when Jen when she was like, this
- 5:50Speaker 2: isn't I'm not asking, this is not throwing this out there?
- 5:54Speaker 2: Would you consider leaving her husband at home? Like she
- 5:57Speaker 2: was just like.
- 6:00Speaker 1: That, She's like, I'm in a pickle and I just
- 6:03Speaker 1: I really want you both to be there, and you know,
- 6:06Speaker 1: I want you to be there, like you to be
- 6:09Speaker 1: there you singularly alone without I don't know, Oh, just
- 6:13Speaker 1: throw any name out there. I don't know, sounds like
- 6:16Speaker 1: sounds like buying.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Yeah, that was uh, you know, well, I could This
- 6:26Speaker 2: show brings a lot up for me. Amy, Heather wears
- 6:31Speaker 2: me down, Erica, Erica, Emily, and Gina Like I can't
- 6:35Speaker 2: figure out their names until like halfway through the episode.
- 6:40Speaker 2: Every time, we're so many seasons in with.
- 6:43Speaker 1: Them, you don't remember their names?
- 6:47Speaker 2: I don't.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Wow, that's really rough. I don't know what that's because
- 6:53Speaker 1: maybe this isn't the show for you.
- 6:56Speaker 2: It's it's like I I mean, I mean, it just
- 7:01Speaker 2: brings up a lot, you know, like Emily and Gina.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Do I know who they are? Obviously, but when we
- 7:08Speaker 2: restart a season, I go through the same questions, why
- 7:11Speaker 2: are they here? What are they bringing?
- 7:14Speaker 1: Wow?
- 7:15Speaker 2: How have they lasted this long?
- 7:19Speaker 1: Oh my god? Okay, well, I'm not at all. I
- 7:22Speaker 1: don't see it. I mean, I really like both of them.
- 7:25Speaker 1: But I mean I think, well, to your point, if
- 7:28Speaker 1: I were to go down that road, if I I mean,
- 7:30Speaker 1: and this is a whole other thing, I'm gonna have
- 7:31Speaker 1: to go on a retreat, you know, I'm gonna have
- 7:33Speaker 1: to go to the mirrorbell, I'm gonna have to go
- 7:34Speaker 1: wherever they went to think about this. But if I
- 7:37Speaker 1: were to go down that road, you know, first things,
- 7:40Speaker 1: the first thing out of my mouth would be because
- 7:44Speaker 1: we have Tamra and we have Shannon. Who are you know,
- 7:48Speaker 1: who have carried the show for years upon years upon years,
- 7:54Speaker 1: Shannon alone, Shannon Badore, Shannon Storms Badour, Storms Badour is
- 8:00Speaker 1: a star and she will always be because the drama
- 8:04Speaker 1: is there all the time, Darling. Drama, darling, so you
- 8:08Speaker 1: know when you have such a kingpin like shot and storms,
- 8:13Speaker 1: and I mean I would say the same, I mean
- 8:15Speaker 1: with Heather, Like I see your point with Heather, you know,
- 8:19Speaker 1: and getting back to is she afraid of Tamera? Well,
- 8:23Speaker 1: when she was like, I'm not afraid of Tamera. I
- 8:26Speaker 1: don't think she's afraid of Tamera, but she absolutely I
- 8:31Speaker 1: mean if you were to ask her at a lie
- 8:33Speaker 1: detector test, which maybe we'll get to, do you actually
- 8:37Speaker 1: like being around Tamera? The answer would be no. There
- 8:41Speaker 1: is a work relationship. They have no real friendship chemistry.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Do you feel that way?
- 8:49Speaker 2: Heather has to like get out her time card, clock
- 8:52Speaker 2: in and then can you know, and then the relationship
- 8:58Speaker 2: will commence, you know right, It's definitely not an organic
- 9:02Speaker 2: like let's grab a crossong you know tomorrow?
- 9:07Speaker 1: No, no, you see it so clearly like they have
- 9:11Speaker 1: a meeting I think in this episode and Tamra, well
- 9:13Speaker 1: when Tama's like all I'm doing is crying and how
- 9:16Speaker 1: there's just like, well, you know, you've been through a lot,
- 9:19Speaker 1: You're showing up, You're doing the work and how much
- 9:23Speaker 1: more time do we have in this scene? I mean,
- 9:25Speaker 1: you know, and Tarma's really at the bottom. You mean,
- 9:28Speaker 1: she is really struggling. This is intense stuff she's going
- 9:33Speaker 1: through right now. I mean, I believe she's been crying
- 9:35Speaker 1: like one hundred percent. That's why it's so hard to
- 9:38Speaker 1: believe that she doesn't have compassion in situations or have
- 9:41Speaker 1: the ability to see certain things that she's done bizarre.
- 9:45Speaker 1: You know. But I don't know where this season will
- 9:48Speaker 1: lead us. Perhaps she won't see the light.
- 9:52Speaker 2: No, that would be amazing, I mean I would I'm
- 9:55Speaker 2: staying open. I just can't imagine.
- 9:57Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, I don't know that.
- 10:00Speaker 2: She has those I think she will con listen, I
- 10:05Speaker 2: do I think that she will become more connected and
- 10:12Speaker 2: dropped in with her emotions. Yes, do I think she
- 10:17Speaker 2: She is. She doesn't like she's old school with this show.
- 10:24Speaker 2: You know, she's an old school housewife who's like I'm
- 10:27Speaker 2: gonna I was kicked off and I'm gonna stay on
- 10:30Speaker 2: this show come hell or high water, and that means
- 10:33Speaker 2: doing the most, doing the worst, you know, Like she's
- 10:37Speaker 2: just a housewife, beast.
- 10:39Speaker 1: A housewife beast, house wife. Yeah, well, Tarma basically tells them, like,
- 10:47Speaker 1: my lawyer says, to stay away from Ryan because they're
- 10:50Speaker 1: baiting me, they're bidding me and disgusting and so yeah,
- 10:57Speaker 1: so now her lawyers like, don't be around them, which
- 11:00Speaker 1: then of course puts Heather in a pickle because her birthday.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Great advice, because here we have Ryan that's just like
- 11:09Speaker 1: posting up over on wherever he's posting up on social media.
- 11:14Speaker 1: The lawsuit is waiting. You know, I've got I'm I
- 11:19Speaker 1: don't know what he's doing.
- 11:20Speaker 2: That's so good, just like with a cup of coffee,
- 11:24Speaker 2: just firing it off. Yeah, with his freaking hooty white
- 11:30Speaker 2: and little jack suit coat.
- 11:33Speaker 1: Why why this is a mockery look. It's actually in
- 11:37Speaker 1: line with who he is with his wardrobe. But they
- 11:41Speaker 1: walked in and you know, everyone is. She looks like
- 11:44Speaker 1: she's trying to do like a Kim Kardashian Marilyn Monroe
- 11:48Speaker 1: dress at the met Gala, and I mean that's exactly
- 11:52Speaker 1: what she was trying to do. And then he's popping
- 11:55Speaker 1: in with a hoodie behind her. And then he had
- 11:58Speaker 1: the nerve to put a kerchief a pocket square in
- 12:03Speaker 1: his soup coat. Yeah, he did dance balls. No, it
- 12:07Speaker 1: is as if that's gonna make up. You know, you
- 12:10Speaker 1: can't have a pocket square erase what's happening with the
- 12:15Speaker 1: rest of what you have going on. It just doesn't
- 12:17Speaker 1: work that way.
- 12:18Speaker 2: It can't work that way. And it's chill. It's like
- 12:23Speaker 2: chills up the spine. To see that heavy, white, bulky
- 12:28Speaker 2: hoodie hanging over his shoulders. I was like, I would
- 12:32Speaker 2: swing him by it, you know what I mean.
- 12:37Speaker 1: It really had me making sure that I had an
- 12:40Speaker 1: eye on every other man at that party to see
- 12:43Speaker 1: if anyone else is showing up in this ridiculous wardrobe,
- 12:48Speaker 1: because I'm like, well, it is La. I mean, it
- 12:50Speaker 1: is California. People do not dress they acted up. You know.
- 12:56Speaker 1: The men are never dressed up. They're just not They're
- 12:59Speaker 1: not wearing a proper, you know, suit coat. It's not
- 13:02Speaker 1: Southern charm. Okay, so right, they're coming in with it.
- 13:06Speaker 1: It's always going to be a gene and some sort
- 13:08Speaker 1: of suit coat with a T shirt. Maybe Slade seemed
- 13:13Speaker 1: to be fine. Slade looked like nice.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Matt always looks nice.
- 13:19Speaker 1: I'm Matt looked great.
- 13:20Speaker 2: Yes, okay, so we lost from we went. That hoodie
- 13:24Speaker 2: just took us because you were saying he's posted up
- 13:26Speaker 2: and Tamra can't actually be with him because it's good advice.
- 13:30Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and it's great, it's great. It's great. So
- 13:33Speaker 1: now Jen is really taking offense to Heather, asking about
- 13:38Speaker 1: you know, maybe can Ryan not come? And Jen, I
- 13:45Speaker 1: wasn't expecting this pop off here. And then when they
- 13:49Speaker 1: revealed how close the tables were to the other people
- 13:54Speaker 1: in the restaurant and she was at an eleven, I
- 13:58Speaker 1: almost lost my.
- 14:03Speaker 2: I liked it though, it was so I loved it, like, yeah,
- 14:08Speaker 2: my gen's here, she's here.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm you welcome in. Jen, I honestly was like, wow,
- 14:16Speaker 1: I really see her side to this. I absolutely yeah,
- 14:21Speaker 1: I got it. You know when she was like to
- 14:23Speaker 1: have to now go through and prove that my house
- 14:26Speaker 1: was not rated by the FBI and that I have
- 14:30Speaker 1: a safe home for my kids to live in, because
- 14:32Speaker 1: I immediately thought that when this happened Deanna, I was like, whoa,
- 14:37Speaker 1: he's such bad news. And then the FBI raided their home.
- 14:43Speaker 1: She has all these kids, this is bad, like bad.
- 14:46Speaker 1: She has now exposed them through through him, to a
- 14:50Speaker 1: horrific traumatic experience and that's immediately what I thought I
- 14:54Speaker 1: thought about the kids, and to now find out that's
- 14:58Speaker 1: not the case, that they weren't rated, I mean right allegedly.
- 15:03Speaker 1: I mean, I don't see.
- 15:05Speaker 2: I'm lost in this part. I can't weigh in because
- 15:07Speaker 2: I'm a little lost as to like exactly what went
- 15:11Speaker 2: down with him.
- 15:12Speaker 1: And well, now I believe that they were not raided
- 15:16Speaker 1: by the FBI. I do not belie that that happened.
- 15:18Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to believe that. I really do believe
- 15:20Speaker 1: Jen in this speech, and she's like, and now I
- 15:27Speaker 1: have to pay attorneys that I never thought that I
- 15:30Speaker 1: would have to that I can't afford. Thank you for
- 15:34Speaker 1: at least being honest about that. And then I would
- 15:38Speaker 1: also say, well, Jen, you also it's not all Tamor's fault.
- 15:43Speaker 1: Guess what, you hooked up with a man who clearly
- 15:47Speaker 1: is not on the up and up, not on the
- 15:50Speaker 1: up and up and periods stop. So she is definitely
- 15:53Speaker 1: deflecting and projecting all of this onto Tamra, all of it,
- 15:59Speaker 1: and she really needs to be angling a lot of
- 16:01Speaker 1: that towards Ryan.
- 16:03Speaker 2: Oh well, right, oh that you want her you want
- 16:07Speaker 2: to angle it over there? That ain't gonna happen. Not
- 16:11Speaker 2: sure other season or two, it will eventually. Obviously, he's
- 16:16Speaker 2: not for the long haul. He is a ne'er duell No.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a vagrant as we.
- 16:21Speaker 2: He's a vagrant, I say, using the wrong word. He's
- 16:24Speaker 2: a vagrant. He's literally a vagrant.
- 16:30Speaker 1: So I get her anger, and I understand what she's saying. Yes,
- 16:35Speaker 1: of course I can't feel.
- 16:36Speaker 2: Good to go back at Heather. That still feels good.
- 16:39Speaker 1: Yeah, And she's she's definitely showing us her side of it,
- 16:43Speaker 1: and she's staying with this man and they're planning a
- 16:45Speaker 1: freaking wedding and that's that. But on the flip side, Deanna,
- 16:50Speaker 1: I have to say, there were a lot of things
- 16:53Speaker 1: in this episode that Ryan said that I was pleasantly surprised.
- 16:59Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but I have a lot
- 17:02Speaker 1: of questions about Jen's ex husband. What is happening. When
- 17:07Speaker 1: Ryan says he chooses, you know, you know, he chooses
- 17:11Speaker 1: to not be as involved as he could be. I
- 17:15Speaker 1: really wish he'd be more involved. All of the kids
- 17:18Speaker 1: are living under our roof now. It seems weird to
- 17:21Speaker 1: say that, because like the kids may hear that eventually.
- 17:24Speaker 1: So Ryan not a good look, I think he did.
- 17:28Speaker 1: I think he bit his tongue. He could have said
- 17:30Speaker 1: a lot more, but there's a lot more to be said.
- 17:33Speaker 1: So I'm really curious as to what's going on. And
- 17:35Speaker 1: then that whole situation with I sound like Gina, I'm
- 17:40Speaker 1: like that.
- 17:40Speaker 3: Hos leguation with the kids and the signing, the co
- 17:47Speaker 3: signing of the loan. So the dad had the older
- 17:52Speaker 3: son who's eighteen co sign for college for the younger son. WTF.
- 18:02Speaker 3: And when Ryan was like I would never do that
- 18:04Speaker 3: to a child and put that on them, I was like,
- 18:06Speaker 3: good for you, Ryan, you know, I happen to obviously
- 18:10Speaker 3: agree with him, and I was happy.
- 18:11Speaker 1: That your kids are.
- 18:13Speaker 2: It's very strange, right, I don't get it. I don't know.
- 18:20Speaker 2: It feels almost like somehow he's getting back at Gen.
- 18:25Speaker 2: I don't understand it. Oh interesting, I don't even can't
- 18:30Speaker 2: even like dot those eyes, but like it feels so wrong.
- 18:35Speaker 1: It is it's so extremely wrong. And then for them
- 18:39Speaker 1: to be exposing this and it is about the kids,
- 18:43Speaker 1: that is really all bad. Again, this is a reality show.
- 18:48Speaker 1: And of course, I mean it's great to hear, but
- 18:52Speaker 1: they are really they have to tread a lot more
- 18:55Speaker 1: lightly in their world, and I feel like they are
- 18:57Speaker 1: just stomping down this reality brick road and you know,
- 19:02Speaker 1: and it's gonna give us a lot of drama, but
- 19:05Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of shrapnel casualties. You know.
- 19:10Speaker 1: She's got her child on camera, which I'm sure they
- 19:14Speaker 1: already knew that he had signed that loan and I'm
- 19:18Speaker 1: sure the other child when they Okay, So when they
- 19:21Speaker 1: were filming that and Jen had two different scenes where
- 19:23Speaker 1: she was setting up this information, I was like, well,
- 19:28Speaker 1: is she just repeating the scene for the cameras, because
- 19:31Speaker 1: if she is, this is just like so dirty. But
- 19:34Speaker 1: she seems so authentic when she does it, you know,
- 19:37Speaker 1: like is she the greatest reality star? You know? Because
- 19:41Speaker 1: she was like, did you get that loan figured out
- 19:45Speaker 1: with your dad? And then the her youngest Harrison, I
- 19:49Speaker 1: think it was like yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it's
- 19:51Speaker 1: it's all good. And then in another scene she asked
- 19:54Speaker 1: her older son, wait, did you you didn't did you
- 19:58Speaker 1: co sign with your dad for that loan? He's like yeah,
- 20:02Speaker 1: you know, and so it was sort of repeated. If
- 20:05Speaker 1: I don't think it was the first time that they
- 20:06Speaker 1: had talked about it. So for them to perhaps reenact
- 20:10Speaker 1: that and give it to us. I was like, this
- 20:12Speaker 1: is really messy.
- 20:13Speaker 2: Wow, I appreciate you Again. Sometimes I have radical acceptance
- 20:17Speaker 2: and I don't think about the behind the curtain type stuff.
- 20:21Speaker 2: But you're so right, like, yeah, they've sat down and
- 20:27Speaker 2: said to each other, we're gonna blow his shit up.
- 20:32Speaker 1: Yeah on a right platform. Yeah.
- 20:35Speaker 2: And that maybe because he, you know, they need to
- 20:39Speaker 2: prove that he is also not doing things right and
- 20:42Speaker 2: they want to get more money from him. I don't.
- 20:44Speaker 2: I don't really know because he's not paying her right.
- 20:48Speaker 2: Didn't we learn that she's not getting proper.
- 20:51Speaker 1: Yeah, not much at all, which is why she's pretty
- 20:54Speaker 1: broke right. And it's just that when she does these scenes,
- 20:59Speaker 1: it seems so real and authentic that I have to
- 21:03Speaker 1: part of me is like, like you said, radical acceptance,
- 21:05Speaker 1: I really feel like it is happening for the first time.
- 21:08Speaker 1: I mean, so, I mean, I really don't know, but
- 21:11Speaker 1: I definitely think they're definitely trying to expose her ex
- 21:15Speaker 1: and is he deserving of it? Is he really like
- 21:18Speaker 1: a bad guy? Is he sketchy with money? I mean,
- 21:22Speaker 1: what is happening? Because it's starting to sound like that
- 21:25Speaker 1: and for Ryan to be speaking up about finances and
- 21:30Speaker 1: the ethics of finances is very bizarre this season, especially
- 21:34Speaker 1: after we learned it.
- 21:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Jen is probably one of the most
- 21:42Speaker 2: likable just and we did for a little bit.
- 21:46Speaker 1: No, but I think she's very like, she's.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Very very like easy on camera. You know, I never
- 21:55Speaker 2: feel she's pushing. I never feel you know that she's
- 22:00Speaker 2: although so agree.
- 22:03Speaker 1: That's what's so hard of it. And that's why I'm like,
- 22:04Speaker 1: is she like the greatest reality star that she doesn't
- 22:08Speaker 1: that she's doing this for the show or is she
- 22:12Speaker 1: really just perfect to be on a show? And I
- 22:16Speaker 1: it might be the latter, Yeah, because this whole thing
- 22:18Speaker 1: about her and what Tamra's kind of trying to position
- 22:24Speaker 1: in the light of Jen, that she has like planned
- 22:27Speaker 1: being on the Housewives. She's trying she kind of single
- 22:30Speaker 1: white female, Tamra tried to live next to her and Simon,
- 22:33Speaker 1: and I think this is really the long game to
- 22:35Speaker 1: be on a show and for somebody, and that's possible,
- 22:40Speaker 1: how it is for someone to now be on the
- 22:44Speaker 1: show and have such authentic scenes. It's not reading to
- 22:49Speaker 1: me like somebody who has plotted for this long because
- 22:52Speaker 1: she does seem very real, very naive, ignorant.
- 22:57Speaker 2: Yes, right, you know, she's all so fighting for her life.
- 23:02Speaker 2: There's so many things I think she's pushed to the
- 23:05Speaker 2: side to go forward in her life. This guy, the allegations.
- 23:12Speaker 2: It's like she got her plastic surgery, she got her body.
- 23:17Speaker 1: You know.
- 23:17Speaker 2: But we have seen it, like Monica from Salt Lake
- 23:20Speaker 2: City plotted to get on the show. We're seeing Janet
- 23:24Speaker 2: from the Valley. You know, there are now several gals
- 23:29Speaker 2: have built in roads to get themselves on the program.
- 23:34Speaker 2: So it's not you know, it's not impossible that that's
- 23:37Speaker 2: what happened.
- 23:38Speaker 1: I think, Okay, it is. It takes a lot of work.
- 23:41Speaker 1: I mean we're talking city planning, you know, we're talking
- 23:44Speaker 1: like grid, We're talking start from scratchlists. Let's work on
- 23:49Speaker 1: the electrical grid of California. You know, That's where I'm
- 23:52Speaker 1: kind of at. I'm like, what how did she do this?
- 23:56Speaker 1: If in fact it was so plotted and you know,
- 23:58Speaker 1: it just all kind of works out too perfectly. But
- 24:00Speaker 1: at the end of the day, she's extremely desperate because
- 24:04Speaker 1: she's in a hell of a position in her life
- 24:07Speaker 1: with finances with her ex and now with all this
- 24:10Speaker 1: weird legal stuff with Ryan, who we haven't He hasn't
- 24:13Speaker 1: gone to jail, you know, I mean, we haven't heard
- 24:16Speaker 1: anything else about that. So that's been quiet. Now we're
- 24:20Speaker 1: shifting to the ex husband, which seems very strange, and
- 24:24Speaker 1: you're involving these kids. It is one heck of a situation.
- 24:29Speaker 1: But I do really like Jen and I love that
- 24:31Speaker 1: in that restaurant she spoke up for herself and she's
- 24:35Speaker 1: ready to fight. Okay. So then we go to Katie
- 24:39Speaker 1: at home and she's talking about how she's emotional because
- 24:41Speaker 1: she's got her kids kind of all together again, and
- 24:46Speaker 1: we revisit her story, which is very intense that eleven
- 24:51Speaker 1: years ago she had three kids and no home, and
- 24:55Speaker 1: so she gave up custody in order for those kids
- 24:58Speaker 1: to be you know, have a house, being in the
- 25:01Speaker 1: right school district, all that stuff. And then as they
- 25:05Speaker 1: got older, then she allowed her kids to choose where
- 25:10Speaker 1: they yeah where they wanted to live, and I believe
- 25:13Speaker 1: her daughter chose to live with her, and her two
- 25:16Speaker 1: sons chose to live with the ex husband. Then she
- 25:19Speaker 1: got married to Matt and then they had a son,
- 25:22Speaker 1: so she has four kids. So and Gavin is with
- 25:26Speaker 1: them now part time, so it's these are strides in
- 25:30Speaker 1: the right direction. It's really nice to see that she
- 25:33Speaker 1: that there isn't any ill will here because I think
- 25:35Speaker 1: there's just a lot of questions and mystery behind the
- 25:39Speaker 1: kid's situation with her ex and the custody and where
- 25:42Speaker 1: they are. And I did appreciate her saying in her confessional, like,
- 25:46Speaker 1: you know, typically women are celebrated for conquering and overcoming struggles,
- 25:52Speaker 1: but in this case, they're weaponizing it against me, and
- 25:55Speaker 1: I do agree with that. I just think that the
- 25:57Speaker 1: problem is is that there isn't enough information and so
- 26:01Speaker 1: people are going to make their judgments and they're going
- 26:03Speaker 1: to be reckless about it, and they're going to think
- 26:05Speaker 1: the worst. And that's hard because you've got a lot
- 26:08Speaker 1: of people watching the show and judging, and you've got
- 26:10Speaker 1: a lot of real housewives that you're surrounded by that
- 26:12Speaker 1: are going to be judging, and if you're not giving
- 26:14Speaker 1: them all the answers, they're going to paint you in
- 26:19Speaker 1: a bad light.
- 26:19Speaker 2: Yeah, Katie has made some major mistakes, I think in
- 26:24Speaker 2: terms of how she has, you know, having her say
- 26:30Speaker 2: last episode that she sort of thought to herself, I'm
- 26:34Speaker 2: getting on this show, and I think you need to
- 26:36Speaker 2: go balls to the wall and kind of, you know,
- 26:40Speaker 2: go hard. Seeing that, I'm like, I believe her that
- 26:45Speaker 2: she is recalibrating all of that this season.
- 26:49Speaker 1: Yeah. I agree, she's recalibrating because she went in so
- 26:54Speaker 1: hard last season. But now, unfortunately she's now in another
- 26:58Speaker 1: pickle because she went and made a bad decision. Before
- 27:02Speaker 1: we get into the rest of the episode, let's take
- 27:06Speaker 1: a break. Long Live Amy. That's what it said when
- 27:09Speaker 1: I signed up at Function Health. I am so obsessed
- 27:12Speaker 1: with function Health. You've heard me talk about it. You're
- 27:15Speaker 1: already on this journey with me just by listening. I
- 27:17Speaker 1: hope you join me. I have a code. I will
- 27:19Speaker 1: read it at the end, and it's in my podcast notes.
- 27:22Speaker 1: I chose function because it's the only health platform that
- 27:25Speaker 1: gives you access to the kind of data that most
- 27:27Speaker 1: people never see. Don't you want to see what's going
- 27:30Speaker 1: on in your body? You know there are insights that
- 27:33Speaker 1: you can actually learn so you can take action. I
- 27:36Speaker 1: just scheduled my labs. It's so easy to do on
- 27:39Speaker 1: the Function platform. You go to your local quest diagnostics.
- 27:44Speaker 1: Of course, you know I'm up here in Santa claritas,
- 27:46Speaker 1: So I'm going to go to one close to me,
- 27:47Speaker 1: and it's so simple. The platform gathers all the information
- 27:51Speaker 1: for you after you do your labs, and I am
- 27:54Speaker 1: about to do one hundred plus labs. I'm talking autoimmunity,
- 27:59Speaker 1: female health, heavy metals, kidney, pancreas, thyroid, electrolytes, heart. I mean,
- 28:04Speaker 1: I could continue on, but I'm so thrilled that I
- 28:07Speaker 1: get to get these labs done, and Function Health is
- 28:10Speaker 1: going to give me a near three sixty view to
- 28:12Speaker 1: see what's happening in my body. That's why top health
- 28:15Speaker 1: leaders like doctor Mark Hyman, doctor Andrew Huberman, and doctor
- 28:20Speaker 1: Jeremy London are all behind Function Health. So let me
- 28:23Speaker 1: ask you this, is there a new normal because normal
- 28:26Speaker 1: has changed. A normal skincare routine twenty years ago, bar soap, apricots, scrub,
- 28:31Speaker 1: and now a five step process of serums, actives, slugging,
- 28:35Speaker 1: red light masks, you name it. It doesn't stop over time.
- 28:39Speaker 1: Taxis became ride shares, TV became streaming, and maps became GPS.
- 28:44Speaker 1: But healthcare normal has stayed in the past. Your normal
- 28:48Speaker 1: annual labs twenty basic markers, no hormones, no inflammation, no
- 28:53Speaker 1: metabolic insight, and if those limited tests came back in range,
- 28:57Speaker 1: you were told you're fine even when he didn't feel fine.
- 29:00Speaker 1: So let's be honest. If the old version of normal worked,
- 29:03Speaker 1: we'd all feel better than we do. Function is what
- 29:06Speaker 1: happens when healthcare catches up. The first health membership gives
- 29:11Speaker 1: you access to one hundred plus biomarkers across the whole
- 29:14Speaker 1: body hormones, metabolism, inflammation, heart, liver, plus you can add
- 29:18Speaker 1: MRIs and see T scans too, medical grade insights tracked
- 29:22Speaker 1: over time, explained in plain language, And thank you for
- 29:25Speaker 1: that function because I really need plain language to help
- 29:28Speaker 1: me out. Function can help you stop guessing with advanced
- 29:30Speaker 1: tests like T three free, T four free tgab antibodies
- 29:35Speaker 1: and TPO antibodies. The list goes on. I want to
- 29:39Speaker 1: be proactive about my health. We talk about how important
- 29:41Speaker 1: it is to know what's going on in our bodies,
- 29:44Speaker 1: and this summer, I'm so grateful because I am figuring
- 29:47Speaker 1: this out and I'm doing it on my terms. It's
- 29:50Speaker 1: so great to know that there's another option to figure
- 29:52Speaker 1: out what's happening in your body from such a trustworthy source.

- 31:11Speaker 1: hairs on my scalp line. One customer even wrote, I
- 31:14Speaker 1: have tried everything for hair growth, and finally I'm getting
- 31:17Speaker 1: a response from my hair. And it's not just talk.
- 31:20Speaker 1: One Skin scientists did a clinical study showing that after
- 31:24Speaker 1: six months, participants had significantly thicker and denser hair. If

- 34:07Speaker 1: We're talking Orange County. I'm with Deanna Chang and we
- 34:10Speaker 1: have a bowling night with Shannon and Gina and Emily.
- 34:14Speaker 1: And now we get the Revolving Door of Love Hotel.
- 34:20Speaker 1: Gentleman Callers starts. We've got Adam. Later we see Phil Phil.
- 34:27Speaker 2: This, that's so weird. I find it strange that they're
- 34:31Speaker 2: all rolling through.
- 34:32Speaker 1: I mean, she's just parading them through. She needs an
- 34:34Speaker 1: escort and I mean, bring him in.
- 34:36Speaker 2: You know.
- 34:36Speaker 1: I kind of loved it. I kind of loved it
- 34:39Speaker 1: in a weird way. I was like, Wow, this is
- 34:41Speaker 1: so odd. But Adam showed up in a bowling shirt
- 34:44Speaker 1: and there he is, and that's that.
- 34:46Speaker 2: There we is.
- 34:47Speaker 1: Oh my god. I was dying when they were sitting
- 34:49Speaker 1: at that table and Shane came over and he was like, Hey,
- 34:53Speaker 1: you're gonna crash when you go home, crash, crash when
- 34:57Speaker 1: you get home. And he was like, no, sleep, sleep,
- 34:59Speaker 1: are you gonna because Shannon crashed on her way home.
- 35:03Speaker 1: So I die. And he realized what he said, and
- 35:07Speaker 1: she just kind of skirted over it and didn't answer.
- 35:09Speaker 1: She was like, this is going out party. We're going yeah,
- 35:13Speaker 1: but we didn't see her face, damn it.
- 35:16Speaker 2: It was covered so true. I enjoyed just seeing the reaction,
- 35:22Speaker 2: you know. I enjoyed that. And I also enjoyed when
- 35:27Speaker 2: Travis pulled Gina to the side and was like, could
- 35:30Speaker 2: you you're like a freaking dog with a bone, like
- 35:33Speaker 2: ease up. Babe, relax. It was like she was grilling
- 35:40Speaker 2: the dude.
- 35:41Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, she just would not stop.
- 35:44Speaker 3: So tell me five things about yoursel.
- 35:47Speaker 1: I mean, the whole thing was definitely comedic, you know.
- 35:50Speaker 1: I think she was trying to be a little clownish.
- 35:53Speaker 1: So Heather and Tamra have a lunch and I have
- 35:57Speaker 1: to say, I do love those parrots that are out front,
- 35:59Speaker 1: and we got that flashback of the parrot who called
- 36:02Speaker 1: her well, she says it called her old. She's like,
- 36:05Speaker 1: you're mean, You're the mean one. She just called me, Oh,
- 36:07Speaker 1: your disgusting parrot. I did love it. This is when
- 36:16Speaker 1: Tamra's crying to Heather and we talk about Ryan coming
- 36:20Speaker 1: to the party, and Heather's like, well, I mean I
- 36:23Speaker 1: can't not invite Ryan. And now Tamra's starting to feel
- 36:26Speaker 1: the same way that Jen is, which is like, you know, no,
- 36:30Speaker 1: you have to you have to like tell me can't come,
- 36:32Speaker 1: or you know, why aren't you prioritizing me? Why are
- 36:34Speaker 1: you taking that side? And so Heather's just like, why
- 36:38Speaker 1: don't you just you know, have a drink and come
- 36:41Speaker 1: on over and like forget about it. You know, She's
- 36:43Speaker 1: just trying to smooth it over and Okay. So Heather's
- 36:47Speaker 1: birthday celebration, second day observance is what they're calling it.
- 36:53Speaker 1: Perfect for Heather.
- 36:54Speaker 2: If you go to a Heather joint, if you go
- 36:58Speaker 2: to a Heather gathering, everything she has done, the caviar bumps,
- 37:05Speaker 2: the gong, throw your shot glass at the gong, the
- 37:10Speaker 2: rolling joints, the girls in the champagne glass, it's all
- 37:16Speaker 2: filtered through. Look at me, what did I do for
- 37:22Speaker 2: this party? And that is just the worst way to host.
- 37:27Speaker 1: Like, have you ever seen a Housewives party that Isn't that?
- 37:31Speaker 1: Because I have?
- 37:32Speaker 2: I actually feel like I have because there's just a level.
- 37:38Speaker 2: Yes it is, look at me, I've thrown this thing.
- 37:41Speaker 2: But then once you've done that, you have to just
- 37:43Speaker 2: enjoy the party. And Heather cannot. At no points, is
- 37:47Speaker 2: Heather ever settle into a party?
- 37:49Speaker 1: Well necessary?
- 37:50Speaker 3: Really?
- 37:51Speaker 1: Like ever just have fun? I mean, I don't you
- 37:54Speaker 1: know what I mean? Yeah, she's not showing up for fun.
- 37:57Speaker 2: Never And I looked, am my girl, can you do
- 38:00Speaker 2: less or do the same? I don't care. Have your
- 38:03Speaker 2: all those stations? Knock yourself out?
- 38:06Speaker 1: I like station then release because you're saying like she
- 38:10Speaker 1: basically was like, okay, have a shot glass, throw it
- 38:13Speaker 1: at the gong, and then we've got these ladies up
- 38:15Speaker 1: in here, and then we also have this you're saying
- 38:17Speaker 1: that she's basically presenting and explaining. Okay, yeah, the bump
- 38:21Speaker 1: of caviar that Gina did. Bump.
- 38:25Speaker 2: She does a bump and then she's like, that's very
- 38:28Speaker 2: good caviar, schooling her on the caviar and then taking
- 38:32Speaker 2: off like it just never ends.
- 38:35Speaker 1: Wait were they calling it a bump or you calling
- 38:38Speaker 1: it a bump?
- 38:38Speaker 2: It is an I went to a restaurant a year
- 38:41Speaker 2: ago in Studio City that they did. It's it's like
- 38:46Speaker 2: an instagrammable moment. They call it a bump of caviary.
- 38:50Speaker 1: Is very weird to glorify a drug term for the
- 38:56Speaker 1: elite food desirings of people. That's insane and I hate
- 39:02Speaker 1: it so much.
- 39:03Speaker 2: Okay, well, it's goofy and it's like it's goofs. It's
- 39:08Speaker 2: like it's like the hoodie, you know what I mean.
- 39:11Speaker 2: It's too much.
- 39:12Speaker 1: What was that place that they were in? Because when
- 39:16Speaker 1: we got taken down, how can you not love Emily
- 39:19Speaker 1: and Gina, Like I mean, at least at this point
- 39:22Speaker 1: they are running around this place that is. If it
- 39:24Speaker 1: weren't for them, we would not have understood the overall
- 39:29Speaker 1: perspective of this venue, like it being in the weirdest
- 39:33Speaker 1: place on earth. It felt like it was out of
- 39:38Speaker 1: like a cult documentary that they took over this building,
- 39:42Speaker 1: you know, like it was you know, keep sweet, what
- 39:45Speaker 1: was that, you know, whatever that documentary was. It looked like, yeah, yeah,
- 39:49Speaker 1: like more of an more a tabernacle. I don't know,
- 39:53Speaker 1: that was like shut down years ago and now is
- 39:55Speaker 1: haunted because they're going through and they're finding these bathrooms
- 39:58Speaker 1: and we're seeing the mosaics, and it was so strange.
- 40:02Speaker 1: I did not expect Heather to have something at a
- 40:05Speaker 1: venue like that.
- 40:06Speaker 2: No, and quite frankly, it looked empty because there were
- 40:09Speaker 2: only about fifty people there. So it didn't make sense
- 40:12Speaker 2: to me period to have it at that location. I mean,
- 40:16Speaker 2: yet we went into the studio set where they film
- 40:21Speaker 2: like the live services. It was. It was wild and
- 40:26Speaker 2: I feel like it also does if you're gonna find
- 40:28Speaker 2: your way there, have it be two hundred people.
- 40:32Speaker 1: Have it at the house, you know, go back, have
- 40:34Speaker 1: it at your penthouse, have it at the asbestos filled
- 40:37Speaker 1: Hollywood property. Anything. But this, I thought this episode was
- 40:47Speaker 1: really good with the gen and camera stuff. It's pretty
- 40:51Speaker 1: sisily and now we have this explosive Shannon and Katie situation,
- 40:57Speaker 1: which we should talk about because yes, so Shannon and
- 41:01Speaker 1: Katie finally talk at this odd party, and you know,
- 41:06Speaker 1: I have not seen we have not seen Shannon this
- 41:10Speaker 1: angry in a really, really long time. I mean, wow,
- 41:15Speaker 1: I was like starting to get uncomfortable with the things
- 41:20Speaker 1: that she was. She was saying things that she's also
- 41:22Speaker 1: said before, though she's always said nothing you say is
- 41:27Speaker 1: ever going to be enough. I'll never speak to you again.
- 41:30Speaker 1: No apology will do it. You know, we're done. She
- 41:34Speaker 1: said all these things of trust. She said that to Vicky,
- 41:37Speaker 1: she said that to Tamra. I was, frankly, I think
- 41:41Speaker 1: in the reunion we're going to get a montage of
- 41:44Speaker 1: her being like, I will never speak to you again.
- 41:47Speaker 1: We're done, you know, because she said it to so
- 41:49Speaker 1: many people. But she really went the extra mile by saying,
- 41:56Speaker 1: you know, if you've gone to the evil really next level, well,
- 42:02Speaker 1: she said, I've gone to the bottom of the barrel
- 42:03Speaker 1: with these women, and no one has ever sunk this low.
- 42:06Speaker 1: That she's worse than a Lexus Tamra, whomever else, John Jansen,
- 42:13Speaker 1: And so the question is, and Darlings, I'd love for
- 42:16Speaker 1: you to weigh in, because when Katie videotaped her at
- 42:21Speaker 1: the gallery shoot, she's coming with a lot of excuses.
- 42:24Speaker 1: I'm not if she would have said, Shannon, I should
- 42:27Speaker 1: have never done that. I am so sorry. No matter
- 42:30Speaker 1: if I only showed it to my husband, it doesn't matter.
- 42:33Speaker 1: I should have never done it. I had like a
- 42:35Speaker 1: lapse of judgment. I kind of was thinking, this is
- 42:39Speaker 1: sort of funny, and I would send it, you know,
- 42:41Speaker 1: if she would have gone that, because I think that
- 42:44Speaker 1: was her motivation. It wasn't to expose her to a
- 42:47Speaker 1: blog I don't think. Oh no, I know it either possible.
- 42:50Speaker 1: It's possible because she she was talking to bloggers. But
- 42:56Speaker 1: but nothing happened with that footage you see.
- 42:59Speaker 2: So yes, I think Katie did not have her apology
- 43:03Speaker 2: game together at all. I would because I would do that.
- 43:08Speaker 2: I would do that, and I would not if someone
- 43:11Speaker 2: was acting crazy. I'm close to me, I would be like,
- 43:15Speaker 2: I got the whole picture.
- 43:17Speaker 1: We see it every day, people are filming, people put
- 43:20Speaker 1: about it, but it's different in this realm of television
- 43:24Speaker 1: and that's where I think it's a little bit different.
- 43:27Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it's not I don't think it's great.
- 43:31Speaker 2: It's not great. But I also just think Katie didn't
- 43:37Speaker 2: come in clean, like you know what you were just
- 43:40Speaker 2: you were on your speakerphone. It was so obnoxious, quite frankly,
- 43:44Speaker 2: and I and I just was sort of laughing at
- 43:48Speaker 2: how intense you came in and how loud and how
- 43:51Speaker 2: I couldn't take the call. And I said that to
- 43:54Speaker 2: my husband. I get that based on what you've been through,
- 43:58Speaker 2: this feels like this same thing. But I promise you
- 44:02Speaker 2: it was just a one off sort of joke that
- 44:06Speaker 2: now has spirals. I had no ill intentions exactly.
- 44:11Speaker 1: You hit it on the head, and I completely agree
- 44:13Speaker 1: with you. I if she wanted to do something with
- 44:17Speaker 1: that footage, she would have that would have surfaced, just
- 44:21Speaker 1: like everything else has surfaced with the Bravo Babe blogger.
- 44:25Speaker 1: So that proves that she had no intention of hurting
- 44:30Speaker 1: her with that. But it was probably the worst thing.
- 44:35Speaker 1: Like I don't know what I honestly don't know what
- 44:37Speaker 1: she was thinking by doing that, because like if that
- 44:40Speaker 1: hadn't happened with the John Jansen videos, and if like
- 44:44Speaker 1: Shannon didn't have so many lawsuits, and like, if she
- 44:47Speaker 1: didn't know Shannon being in a vulnerable state all the
- 44:50Speaker 1: time and being if she didn't know any of that
- 44:53Speaker 1: and did that, it would have been a lot more excusable.
- 44:56Speaker 1: But the problem is is that she did. And we
- 45:00Speaker 1: know that she kind of like sort of stirs up
- 45:02Speaker 1: things to be on the show and kind of was
- 45:05Speaker 1: clunky about it first season. So then it's like, we're
- 45:07Speaker 1: at the end of the season and we're at this
- 45:09Speaker 1: gallery shoote and now you're still doing these antics. What
- 45:12Speaker 1: else will you do? That's a misstep now if you
- 45:15Speaker 1: haven't figured it out by then, And so I think
- 45:18Speaker 1: that is the problem. And you know, Shannon, really she
- 45:21Speaker 1: really reamed her. It didn't feel good. I didn't like
- 45:25Speaker 1: how hard she reamed her. I wish she would have
- 45:27Speaker 1: walked away sooner, because Shannon's been really good about walking away,
- 45:31Speaker 1: But unfortunately Katie kept doing the butt. She kept saying but, but, but,
- 45:37Speaker 1: And the bottom line is now we know well I
- 45:40Speaker 1: think we know, we haven't quite gotten to the bottom
- 45:42Speaker 1: of it. Alexis has seen this video and quite possibly Jen,
- 45:46Speaker 1: although I do not think Jen has seen it, so
- 45:51Speaker 1: if Katie showed this to Alexis, I mean game over.
- 45:56Speaker 1: This is this is this is bad, Like she can't
- 45:59Speaker 1: be friends with her and anymore, and she should be
- 46:01Speaker 1: dead to her and she should be done. So that's
- 46:04Speaker 1: where I'm going, Yeah, this is And I don't even
- 46:06Speaker 1: know if Shannon knows at this point. No, she does.
- 46:10Speaker 1: She knows, yeah, she does, because they had that lunch.
- 46:13Speaker 1: So did Alexis see the video? We don't know, Heather says.
- 46:19Speaker 1: She called Alexis and Alexis was like, yeah, we met
- 46:24Speaker 1: and it was you know, it was the three of us,
- 46:27Speaker 1: and she showed it to me, and then Jenna was
- 46:31Speaker 1: of course there go ahead.
- 46:33Speaker 2: Now is Alexis And I'm sorry, I don't know this.
- 46:36Speaker 2: Are Katie and Alexis currently friends, yes, active friends?
- 46:39Speaker 1: Okay, right now in presence? I'm sorry, I don't know.
- 46:43Speaker 2: See that's where it gets interesting because of course Alexis
- 46:49Speaker 2: is like so pissed at Shannon. I think Alexis feels
- 46:53Speaker 2: Shannon's the reason why she's not back on the season
- 46:56Speaker 2: this year, and she was reason why she was there.
- 47:00Speaker 2: She's the reason why she's not there, you know, And
- 47:03Speaker 2: so she may have just felt like, oh, there's some
- 47:07Speaker 2: way I can hurt Shannon. I'm gonna say, yeah, she
- 47:10Speaker 2: showed it to me. I don't even know what we're
- 47:11Speaker 2: talking about, but I'll say she showed it to me.
- 47:14Speaker 2: You know. I'll say Katie showed it to me to
- 47:16Speaker 2: get back at Shannon back in the storyline. And if
- 47:18Speaker 2: I lose my friendship with Katie, so be it. I'm
- 47:20Speaker 2: gonna stick with it.
- 47:21Speaker 1: I believe Jen when she says I didn't see the video.
- 47:25Speaker 1: I really do. I don't know why, but Jen. I
- 47:27Speaker 1: don't know why Jen is so believable to me this season.
- 47:30Speaker 1: She can't be that good of an actress, Like you
- 47:32Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. She just seems very sincere. Is
- 47:35Speaker 1: she lying? I don't think she's lying, But.
- 47:37Speaker 2: Why couldn't Katie and Alexis have been without Jen.
- 47:40Speaker 1: That's what's strange is that Katie said in her confessional,
- 47:43Speaker 1: I've never met with Alexis by myself. Jen's always there,
- 47:47Speaker 1: So it's the game of telephone.
- 47:49Speaker 2: And now is there a world in which she's so
- 47:53Speaker 2: freaked out by the reaction to even having this video
- 47:58Speaker 2: that she is making one lie Like.
- 48:02Speaker 1: It seems like she would just say, yeah, I saw it.
- 48:04Speaker 1: I mean, Shannon's right there. It wouldn't be Jen's fault
- 48:07Speaker 1: if it was just shown to her.
- 48:09Speaker 2: That's true.
- 48:10Speaker 1: I think it's possible that they had a meeting and
- 48:13Speaker 1: that Katie talked about the video, that she didn't show
- 48:16Speaker 1: the video, but she talked about the video, and then
- 48:20Speaker 1: in a game of telephone, Alexis told Heather, oh, yeah,
- 48:25Speaker 1: she talked all about the video. Yeah, I know about
- 48:27Speaker 1: the video. And then Heather thought she heard I saw
- 48:30Speaker 1: the video she showed me. I mean, it could just
- 48:32Speaker 1: be a game of telephone.
- 48:34Speaker 2: Yeah. I did feel for Katie because I just felt like, God, Katie,
- 48:39Speaker 2: you know, you don't look good because you've made a
- 48:44Speaker 2: lot of wrong moves here and this one. Although personally
- 48:51Speaker 2: I don't see it as I really genuinely don't see
- 48:55Speaker 2: it as bad. I really don't, and I don't know
- 48:58Speaker 2: if I'm off and I'll look inward. But I once
- 49:02Speaker 2: Shannon said that she was on speakerphone, Yeah, yeah, that
- 49:06Speaker 2: changed it for me.
- 49:07Speaker 1: I mean when she said you made it my business
- 49:10Speaker 1: by putting it on speakerphone, I agree with that one
- 49:12Speaker 1: hundred percent. Anyone who you know, you're in line at
- 49:15Speaker 1: the bank and someone's talking on the phone. You're making
- 49:17Speaker 1: it my business. I'm hearing your conversation, so yes, but
- 49:22Speaker 1: to record it is illegal to do that. That is true,
- 49:26Speaker 1: And I mean we are so passed that concept in
- 49:31Speaker 1: these times, literally, like I don't know, I mean sure,
- 49:36Speaker 1: Like you know, we also have so many things that
- 49:39Speaker 1: are legal at this point that are being done that
- 49:41Speaker 1: I'm just like, I can't sure.
- 49:44Speaker 2: But well, you know.
- 49:44Speaker 1: The other thing is that Shannon has been Katie's friend,
- 49:47Speaker 1: and I think that's what's really stinging her up right now.
- 49:51Speaker 1: That's what's really she She was bamboozled by this. She
- 49:54Speaker 1: never would have thought Katie would have done this, especially
- 49:57Speaker 1: now beginning the season, and she's been trying to have
- 50:00Speaker 1: her back. So I think that's why she's absolutely irate,
- 50:04Speaker 1: is because she really liked Katie. She really was trying
- 50:07Speaker 1: out her Katie, and now she's like, I don't know
- 50:09Speaker 1: who you are, why you would do this to me.
- 50:12Speaker 1: You know, it is really a double edged sword because
- 50:14Speaker 1: it's like, Shannon, if you are talking about things that
- 50:18Speaker 1: shouldn't be heard by other people, but you're expecting privacy
- 50:23Speaker 1: in a glam room, Yeah, that's just ridiculous. That's a
- 50:28Speaker 1: reckless decision because not only should you not be talking
- 50:32Speaker 1: about private issues in front of your Glam team, because
- 50:35Speaker 1: Glam is quintessentially responsible for, you know, letting the cat
- 50:42Speaker 1: out of the bag time and time again. Should you
- 50:44Speaker 1: trust another housewife? Absolutely not. But would you expect to
- 50:50Speaker 1: be filmed?
- 50:51Speaker 2: No?
- 50:51Speaker 1: And that's where I have Shannon's back, and I think
- 50:53Speaker 1: that Katie was absolutely wrong in doing that and also
- 50:58Speaker 1: with her apology. But there's some glitches on the other side.
- 51:02Speaker 2: There are, and people have, I mean, Shannon drove into
- 51:05Speaker 2: a house, you know this idea everybody. I guess I
- 51:08Speaker 2: was really my back was pushed against the wall with
- 51:12Speaker 2: everybody seeming to co sign at the party that this
- 51:15Speaker 2: was the worst thing that's ever happened and that Shannon
- 51:18Speaker 2: should never talk to her again, and of all the
- 51:22Speaker 2: things we've seen go down in Orange County, Jen, your husband,
- 51:27Speaker 2: all of this, I just am not putting this up
- 51:31Speaker 2: the ladder as the worst thing that anyone's ever done.
- 51:35Speaker 2: And I was just like thrown by.
- 51:37Speaker 1: I think also if we had seen the footage as
- 51:41Speaker 1: the public and who knows what that footage was Shannon
- 51:46Speaker 1: talking to her lawyer about John Jansen, about the settling
- 51:51Speaker 1: about who knows what that conversation was. And if we
- 51:56Speaker 1: would have seen that footage and it was personal and
- 52:00Speaker 1: it was legal, and that would have been we may
- 52:03Speaker 1: have seen it in a different light, like, whoa, you
- 52:05Speaker 1: did this and you put this on video? Like what
- 52:07Speaker 1: if somebody got your phone and somebody exposed that? What
- 52:10Speaker 1: if anything could have happened? Yeah, yeah, anything could have happened,
- 52:13Speaker 1: and that could have gone out there. I think that's
- 52:14Speaker 1: what's scared Shannon. But again, don't be talking about very
- 52:19Speaker 1: important stuff on speakerphone in the glamor room with around
- 52:22Speaker 1: a bunch of housewives and.
- 52:23Speaker 2: Your team speaker phone.
- 52:27Speaker 1: Honestly, it's absurd. It's absurd. It's absurd.
- 52:31Speaker 2: So so all in, you know what, I'm getting closer
- 52:35Speaker 2: to understanding how bad it was, but I'm also still
- 52:42Speaker 2: feeling like it's not that bad, right.
- 52:46Speaker 1: I understand, I totally get it. You know what's worse
- 52:50Speaker 1: is what I think we've come down to is Ryan's
- 52:52Speaker 1: hooded sweatshirt, Houddie under a suit coat, and that's.
- 52:57Speaker 2: Yon Like, that's like, that's what we can can't recover from, can't. Well,
- 53:04Speaker 2: there are a lot of questions around this cast right now.
- 53:07Speaker 2: For me, it's like I don't know who Ryan is,
- 53:09Speaker 2: I don't one hundred percent understand who Jen is, and
- 53:11Speaker 2: I don't know who Katie is. These are three people
- 53:14Speaker 2: that are real mysteries to me, in real wild cards.
- 53:17Speaker 2: And that's why I think this is a really interesting
- 53:19Speaker 2: season because we've got a lot of drama. You've got
- 53:22Speaker 2: these veterans who are not afraid to swing for the
- 53:25Speaker 2: fences and they're going to put up a fight against
- 53:28Speaker 2: these new gals, and so that's really what we're looking
- 53:32Speaker 2: at and like and then you've got Gina and Emily
- 53:34Speaker 2: just bonking around like you know, Frick and Frack essentially,
- 53:38Speaker 2: like who's gonna deal with Katie right now? Like who's
- 53:41Speaker 2: gonna be her ally?
- 53:44Speaker 1: Yeah? Maybe Jen, because Jen's been there for her. And
- 53:48Speaker 1: then Gretchen will probably come into that too, because that's
- 53:53Speaker 1: right thing like Gretchen and Jen. Now, Jen knows that
- 53:57Speaker 1: she can form an army, a small army with Gretchen
- 54:01Speaker 1: against Tamra, And if you get Katie on that side,
- 54:05Speaker 1: then you've got these kind of new girls, meaning Gretchen
- 54:08Speaker 1: coming back, but she's just a friend of right now.
- 54:11Speaker 1: But if they form their alliance, essentially you've got three
- 54:16Speaker 1: and then against the new Guard.
- 54:18Speaker 2: Against the Suard. Yeah, that is exciting. What I have
- 54:22Speaker 2: missed so much about Gretchen is the way she always
- 54:26Speaker 2: takes like her hair is gorgeous and she's always swooping
- 54:31Speaker 2: it to the side and like pushing it back up
- 54:34Speaker 2: to get the height and and you know there's some
- 54:37Speaker 2: sort of hold in there and she's I have missed
- 54:41Speaker 2: seeing her do that.
- 54:43Speaker 1: Yeah, so much, Yeah, so much.
- 54:47Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just and she looks phenomenal like her slave
- 54:52Speaker 2: don't look like they've aged one day. It's been so
- 54:54Speaker 2: it is. It's amazing, truly amazing. They are like the
- 54:59Speaker 2: Hi and Spencer. You know, no one thought that they
- 55:03Speaker 2: could make it, and yet here they are.
- 55:05Speaker 1: Right, You're so right, You're so right. Well we've now
