Drama, Darling Drama, Darling Drama, Darling. Welcome back, Darlings,
0:22
a very special day, Anisha. Rama Krishna is here, Anisha. Hello,
0:29
how are you? I'm well. Thank you for having me on.
0:33
I love your intro. You know my name is Rama Krishna. You said
0:36
it beautifully, but at home they call me Drama Krishna. So stop,
0:41
Oh my gosh, Drama Krishna, Darling, Drama Krishna. I'm here,
0:47
love it. I'm so happy to see you again. It's been a hot
0:50
second. It's been longer than I expected because we met when you were on
0:54
season one of Family Karma. Yes, and I was thirty three. Then
0:59
that's how long stop they take to like edit and film Family Karma. Yes,
1:04
there is such a long I mean it's a wide one. It's a
1:07
wide one. And now you know, I'm married and season three just aired,
1:14
and I'm so happy to be here and I can't wait to catch up
1:17
and talk all things Bravo. Yes, all things Bravo. Congratulations on being
1:22
married. I love the people exclusive that you had. Give me a little
1:27
tidbit. Take me there on your wedding day. We didn't get to see
1:30
it. You made it very personal to you, which you know I had
1:34
on my former show My My Sidekick, My Delight, Alyssa and I were
1:41
talking about how much we respected your priorities in life. That it's so interesting
1:46
that, you know, so many people on reality television, really they're going
1:49
to jump to the spinoff. They're going to jump to the wedding spinoff they
1:53
want to see, they want to get their wedding on air, there's no
1:57
question about it. What made you decide to do the opposite? Well,
2:02
you know, I've been an open book. I do enjoy sharing my life.
2:07
But when you meet someone who's not in the business, who's not an
2:10
entertainment you know, my husband is a vascular surgeon, it's it's not the
2:15
kind you go to for fun. He's not the one you want to see.
2:19
No, you're probably dying you want to see and when you wake up
2:23
exactly, and so you know, it just wasn't for him. And you
2:29
know, we're both individuals. I married, you know, for society.
2:32
I married later in life. I think I'm very young at thirty eight and
2:38
i'll be thirty nine this year. But he didn't want to do it,
2:42
and so he didn't want to do it. You know, this is someone
2:45
I love and I want to be with and you know that's it. And
2:47
is there ever a question? Did you ever try to convince him where you're
2:51
like, well, think about this and do you want to do you know
2:53
a little? You know, cameo, you know there's varying degrees to this.
2:58
Yes, and walk into the kitchen and run away like there's options our
3:02
surgical tools and leave, you know, out the door, walk in with
3:07
the scrubs, do your job and leave. But no, I wasn't having
3:12
it. And I understand, you know, obviously you want to be taken
3:15
seriously in the hospital environment, right and uh, don't tell the ladies I'm
3:23
married to med you know. But yeah, well yeah, but you know
3:27
he's in like do or die situations for a lot of people, and so
3:31
you know, his career comes first, and I understand and that's what I
3:35
love about him, right, Like, this is someone I love about You
3:38
know, we all say I want someone private, all the girlies, right,
3:40
like someone with no Instagram, and then you find that why try to
3:45
change it? Yes? Agreed? Did he ever watch Family Karma? Did
3:50
he know? You didn't? And you know he didn't know the show existed,
3:54
and to this day, I think he's maybe watched clips and two episodes.
3:59
I mean, the guy I works fourteen hours a day, and I
4:01
say, that's why it works because space is the new sex. Space is
4:05
the new sex. But yeah, are people exclusive? Thank you to Bravo.
4:12
They made that happen for me, Like it was an incredible opportunity.
4:16
The network did that for me. A lot of people think I got paid.
4:20
No, I was happy to share my wedding photos. And when we
4:26
were paid for people Exclusive, apparently people get paid and everyone thought I got
4:30
paid, but I was like, no, I wanted to share my photos.
4:32
I thought they were beautiful and this is, you know, the love
4:34
of my life. And you know, when we were airing the show,
4:39
there was a lot of you know, talk of how I hid my husband
4:43
honey, there was no documentation. He wasn't claimed yet. He was just
4:46
a boyfriend when we were filming. I wasn't even engaged. So I got
4:51
married nine months after we filmed. That caused a real stir with the cast.
5:00
What now are you talking to the cast right now? Are you filming?
5:04
What's the status with family karma? Uh? Tbd? But we are
5:09
all friends and I'd say, like we say on the show, we're family.
5:13
These people aren't going anywhere, whether we want them around or not.
5:17
We're going to be in each other's lives. My reception is June third.
5:21
Everyone's going to be there. You know, everyone's invited. It's it's a
5:26
family. Oh so you're having a reception on June third, Yes, because
5:30
I got married five months ago. But you can imagine, I'm on tour
5:33
for my comedy show and my husband is very busy. So we weren't able
5:41
to have that traditional five day Indian wedding because neither of our schedules could sink.
5:46
So that's why we got That was the reason for getting married at home.
5:50
We didn't have time to plan a wedding, and if we did,
5:55
it would have been this summer, and we just didn't want to wait,
5:59
you know. But I don't don't blame you one bit. I mean,
6:01
I'm like, let's get this done, let's work, let's figure it out,
6:04
let's let's make things happen. There's no reason to wait. So now
6:08
you're going to do a reception, and what will that be? Like,
6:11
it's going to be your wedding reception, but it's again modern in that it's
6:15
more a celebration of love for our friends and family. There's not going to
6:20
be a cake like, no speeches. We're just we just want everyone to
6:25
celebrate and have a blast. You know, I said, when you go
6:29
to these weddings, the guests just want to have a good time, Like
6:32
we had our moment with our families. Yeah, we did our vows.
6:36
You know, we just want to have a good time, dance, drink,
6:41
be merry with everyone we love. Yes. Absolutely, Oh my gosh.
6:45
Oh, I'm really happy for you. You married a doctor, he
6:48
married a comedian, fashion and fashionista business woman, and I want to hear
6:58
more about and television star. I want to hear more about your comedy career
7:01
because when I found out that you were doing the circuit as they say,
7:06
I was so thrilled. And I haven't seen you live, but I've seen
7:11
your clips and your phenomenal. You are killing it and I'm just so has
7:15
this been something you've always wanted to do? Had you ever dabbled in stand
7:18
up comedy before? So this is something I've always wanted to do. And
7:24
obviously stand up comedy is an art and you need to be trained and people
7:28
spend years, you know, doing this. But I'd say for me being
7:31
a comedic storyteller, I have been creating comedic content for a decade. Like
7:38
I always say, the overnight success takes ten years, and I've been doing
7:43
this for a long time. Total filming time five years filming Family Karma,
7:48
three years, three seasons on TV airing. It's been a journey. And
7:55
I wanted to have this tour in twenty nineteen because I have my pots currently
8:00
Cringing, where I do a lot of comedy on there. I do a
8:03
lot of solo pods and obviously we know what happened. And so finally getting
8:07
the chance to be on stage, meet everyone and do my thing has been
8:13
incredible and you know, validating the idea right like anyone can say they want
8:20
to go, you know, do the circuit like you say, and be
8:22
on stage, but validating myself and knowing like, okay, this is the
8:28
path. And i'd say the podcast, my own podcast and touring it's finally
8:35
something I feel aligned with. Wow, like I'm aligned, this is what
8:39
I was meant for. Oh my gosh. Always deep, that's deep because
8:46
you know, obviously being on the show, making content on social media,
8:52
where have you. It's very different than a live audience, as I'm sure
8:56
you nothing prepared with you, and every time I go on stage, it's
9:01
a different experience, it's a different audience. It's the hardest thing I've ever
9:07
done. I'm telling you, I enjoy it, but you're not there in
9:11
the green room where I'm shaking in a corner. The nerves are unreal.
9:16
I'm having like acid reflux a day before. It doesn't matter how many times
9:22
you do it, it is terrifying. And I've bombed. I've also bombed.
9:28
Sure, Well that's part of it. So that's good, And it's
9:31
good that you're aware of that because I would say a lot of people who
9:33
would go into this and if they're not aware that they're killing or bombing,
9:39
then you should have no business being up there because you're clearly not You don't
9:43
have a sense of awareness of what's hitting and what's not. So that's great.
9:46
I bombed in my hometown with everyone I knew it was. It took
9:50
me a while to recover, sure, Sure. And then some audiences,
9:56
you know, depending on the venue, they're small, rows you off because
10:00
you don't know what to expect. So I've also never been to some of
10:03
these cities. Yeah, of course, of course. Everyone. So how
10:07
many cities have you done so far? Do you know? I've done seven?
10:13
Wow, and I have about twenty two total in between. Now,
10:18
like I've taken a break. Now. I got home last night because I'm
10:22
having the reception June third, so I need to like a friend visiting because
10:28
now I live in Scottsdale. Everyone wants to visit. So I'm a visitor
10:33
like every weekend of a friend visiting this weekend. So it's just non stop,
10:39
non stop. Everyone's like, oh my god, you know, like
10:41
does your husband care? You just got married, you're touring. I'm like,
10:45
we're a millennial couple. These guys like we'll make money. Yeah.
10:50
No, One's like stay at home, no, god, no, Oh
10:54
my gosh. And this is amazing because you get to tour, you get
10:56
to meet people obviously who are fans of you are and you get that interaction
11:01
where what does it feel like? Yeah, you're doing that right? Let
11:07
me tell you, I am not there. I don't. I don't know
11:09
if people ever get there where it becomes easy, Oh, it'll become a
11:13
lot easier, or I would say not easy, but more comfortable. I
11:18
mean, I don't do stand up comedy. I have done it before.
11:20
I've done a lot of improv comedy. But I've been doing my CABARETI show,
11:26
which is a comedy cabaret based on all the Bravo stuff, and I
11:31
feel the same way. You know, you're in the back and you're going,
11:33
why why am I doing this to myself? Am I doing this to
11:35
myself? This is am I like an emotional like a comedy cutter, like
11:39
why am I putting myself in this situation? That's torture, But you know
11:45
it's something that you're meant to do, and then when you do it,
11:48
you're like, no, I am I'm meant to do this. I need
11:50
to do this for myself. I want to do this and for better or
11:54
for worse. You know, you learn every single time is a challenging.
11:58
Like you said, every room is different, and so you're looking at my
12:00
return. Yeah, I did a room of thirty in Buffalo and at that
12:05
point the set goes out the window. You're like, you know, there
12:09
was a moment there. You make these quick decisions on stage. You're like,
12:13
okay, this me standing up here doing like a monologue is not going
12:16
to work. We need to know. Wow, So how did you pivot?
12:18
Did you do some crowd start of talking? We just did improv,
12:22
which again I'm not trained, uh so just threw myself into that. Was
12:28
that the latest clip that you had up on your Instagram? No, that
12:33
was last night in Philly. I love it, Sunday Night in Philly.
12:37
That was great. Yeah, that was great, and you know it's all
12:41
you know, your feet off the audience as well. Yes, And I
12:45
would imagine that if and when you start filming for Family Karma again. God,
12:50
let's not wait like three more years. I can't handle I have a
12:54
child. I mean seriously, like it's we'd like to see that, but
12:58
we'd also like to see is part of your life right now that you're you're
13:01
experiencing this newly married, like you said, millennial couple going off and doing
13:07
their own things. He's a doctor, you're comedian. I mean it's kind
13:11
of it's like a sitcom essentially. I would love that whole you know,
13:13
do you remember Kathy Griffin My Life on the D List? Yes, yes,
13:18
that's like kind of you know, the beginning days of Bravo, like
13:22
day one yeah. And that's literally like me and my mom because you know,
13:24
my mom's Indian, so she's not like, great, you're doing great,
13:28
sweetie, Like no, she's like, you better get your shit together.
13:31
It doesn't matter. You have thirty people, one person. Everyone's paid
13:37
a ticket. Everyone deserved the best version of you on stage. And she's
13:41
right because you know I'm bombed. She's your momager. She was there when
13:45
I bombed. Ok, good good good? Yes, So yeah, this
13:50
was you know, it's the stars have aligned, I feel, and I
13:52
did do drama all through high school and I did monolone and I think podcasting,
13:58
like you know, helps a lot. Absolutely, this will be interesting
14:03
when you do start filming again because you know you'll have a different I think
14:07
that you will be a little bit different with You'll be so much. You
14:11
know, it's going to add to your personality having this experience, and I
14:15
think you're going to be even more poppin'. I love your confessionals. Those
14:18
are always my favorite, and are how is your mom? How are the
14:22
Aunties? They're thriving. I made a joke about them because someone asked me
14:26
on stage, you know, how's your mom doing? With Auntie Reshma after
14:31
the fight, and I was like, that was Auntie Dharma. But I
14:33
get it. They all look the same. And they all wear fresh look
14:37
misty gray contacts from co stop. Are you kidding me? Right now?
14:43
They do? It's fresh look gray And I used to wear them too,
14:46
Like the brown community. We know they all look the same. We get
14:50
it. They're all wearing the same contact lenses. We're all doing the same
14:54
amazing. Oh my god, I just love a cost Co reference. Shout
14:58
out to a Costco Mary who is a frequent listener to the show who works
15:03
at Costco. So what can you just so now, obviously in your stand
15:09
up you talk a little bit about your family and your life experiences. Is
15:13
that what is your vibe when it comes to it's about being a gold dinner
15:16
and marrying late and being a material girl. And when you're older, you're
15:22
like, do you have money? Love is great, but love is not
15:24
enough. At thirty eight, you're like, what's my retirement package? Rocking
15:30
like with this person? I mean you really, you know, the last
15:33
season was hilarious because you obviously you had the deadline, which was Cinco de
15:37
Mayo, which is a hilarious deadline for wanting to be married or rather,
15:43
I'm sorry engaged, and you made it. You know, you made your
15:46
deadline. So congratulations. Let me see the ring? Can I see it?
15:48
Can you? I'm not wearing it. I'm not wearing it right now.
15:52
Oh, because you're so that's how it goes, Hi, I see
15:54
you know you go on tour and leave the ring at home. I don't
15:58
wear the rings. See it was in the audience. Yeah, I wear
16:00
it in the I wear it on stage, but I don't wear it every
16:03
day. Oh you do wear it on stage? Okay, good, all
16:06
right? So Anisha, not that I care, what do I But anyway,
16:11
Anisha, we're going to talk a little bit about a couple of stories
16:15
in the news. So we're going to serve up some dish. Serving dish,
16:22
all right, Anisha. So there is a TikTok gal. Her name
16:27
is at the Bravo Babe on TikTok and she apparently had a little scoop about
16:33
the recent activities of one Tom Sandoval. Now I know that you know everything
16:37
about what's going on with scandal. The world knows. Everyone knows, and
16:42
I think that if you haven't seen this, let me just get you up
16:45
to Speed that he is now reportedly in Texas, Austin, I believe,
16:52
and he is staying with and dating an influencer named Carly Hale. The US
16:59
Sun also did a story about this. He is out there, He's been
17:03
seen. They've got some pictures. Some stalkers posted some pictures, and the
17:07
Bravo babe on TikTok posted it like a collage if you will, of Tom
17:14
and this gal. The TikTok user's name is Sarah Kofod, and they're out
17:18
shopping, they're at he's at her gym in her apartment. And since oh,
17:25
by the way, when he was at her gym in her apartment,
17:29
that was taken the night of the finale of Vander pump Rolls. She since
17:33
deleted her Instagram and YouTube. Now, if you're an influencer, Anisha,
17:41
and you've got, you know, probably the biggest scandal staying at your home
17:45
and then you go ahead and delete your you know, modes of influencing,
17:49
what are your thoughts on that bad move, good move? First of all,
17:53
I don't believe any of these people. It's all smoke and mirrors.
17:56
I will say I'm on one of the few shows what you see is what
18:00
you get. Nothing is manufactured. I think this is a wonderful opportunity to
18:07
pretend you've assimilated and you're back in society. I think this is a favor.
18:15
Hey, will you walk around town with me so you know, we
18:18
can take some of the heat off and attention seeking behavior from someone that,
18:23
from what I've read, sounds like a narcissist. And this girl, what
18:27
a great opportunity to be talked about. Yes, and so when her when
18:33
her social media does come back up, it'll be poppable. Yeah, and
18:37
everyone's going to be looking for it. So all of this is strategy,
18:40
pr strategy in my bold in your book is correct, Your book is correct,
18:47
but it is so just low level bullshit. I mean, you know,
18:52
they've fed us so well with the organic drama of what was going on,
18:56
and now they're taking us on this just ridiculous ernie of all this bullshit,
19:02
like all these breadcrumbs just to keep us occupied when we don't need it.
19:04
I don't care about this man. You never want to see him again.
19:10
No, And in fact, I saw on ig today. I was
19:12
scrolling like the rest of us, and I saw Ariana has like a lot
19:17
of brand deals. So I'm like, hopefully she can sell that house and
19:22
move on. And you know, I think she has a bright future ahead
19:30
of her. Fail your mom, I see big I sound like her mom.
19:33
No, I see like big things coming her way career wise because of
19:38
this. And I don't think she's a saint either. You know, everyone
19:42
is an adult. But you know, milk it, make that money,
19:48
honey. Well, she's definitely milking it. And I have to say I
19:51
fell for it, hookline and sinker. I felt like last night, you
19:56
know, or yesterday, I saw her stories and she was like moving,
20:00
you know, and she was like I'm dipping out. And then the moving
20:03
boxes in the back, and I was like those boxes that she's carrying,
20:07
I mean they look like when you watch a movie and they have the empty
20:10
coffee cups because there's nothing in them, and you're like, yeats, do
20:12
fill the coffee cups because those bankers boxes don't look full. That's that's what
20:18
I saw. And and then I saw paid partnership. But I was like,
20:19
good for you, and you do have a paid partnership, okay.
20:22
So I was like, yeah, all of them, do all of them,
20:26
but do it better. I mean that was a little to me maybe
20:30
and a message in the every house do it a little better. You're not
20:36
moving she said, I'm just moving up financially. I was like, this
20:40
has gotten corny as we saw the same thing. We saw the same mad
20:44
and I saw this morning and I was like, get that money. And
20:47
I think this towm and the influencer is all smoking mirrors. This is just
20:52
like he called a friend. He's like, hey, you're gonna blow up.
20:55
Can you just walk around Starbucks with me? And let's go to the
20:57
gym. Let's walk on the gym. Yeah. What what are your thoughts
21:03
on Raquel? I read somewhere if I'm not mistaken, that she might be
21:07
hiding out at her grandmother's in Tucson and she might be pregnant. And I'm
21:11
in Scottsdales. I know how far are you from Tucson? Okay, a
21:15
check two hours. You could easily go over to that bodegas she was seen
21:21
in reportedly and that didn't buy cigarettes. Okay, So can you just give
21:26
me a couple hot takes on your thoughts about the actual scandaal and if you
21:33
have any conspiracy theories, and what your thoughts are on the individuals Roquell and
21:37
Tom. It's wild because I saw all of them at Bravocan and you know,
21:42
they're big stars. Everyone you know loves their show, and to then
21:47
hear this and then seeing them all hang out at BRAVOCN was a little like
21:52
gross. And it seems like they both knew exactly what they were doing.
22:00
I don't think they caught feelings. I think they're just selfish and they were
22:03
like, this is fun, let's do it literally and then now you know,
22:08
they leaked it as well in a timely manner. I think they what
22:12
are the chances this comes out first episode of the season premiere. I think
22:18
it's all suspect. I don't think everyone in the cast was aware, but
22:22
I do think a lot of this was maybe pre planned, meaning the leaking
22:27
of it, the outing of this. I am skeptical because I'm in this
22:33
industry, so are you. A lot of things are planned. Now.
22:38
Did they plan to sleep with each other on purpose? No? I think
22:42
like they genuinely are just assholes and wanted to do it and didn't care,
22:48
but now they're like, I don't think they realized how big this would become.
22:53
I do believe that I don't think they realized this would be on CNN,
22:59
right, You don't think Raquel was like Raquel was probably thinking, oh,
23:03
I thought that everybody just slept together, whether it was your best friend
23:07
or not, not to this degree. But yeah, but yes, okay,
23:14
so you think that it was a it was a plot really from the
23:17
get go. Once it happened, it became the storyline, and it was
23:21
premeditated. And if you're a producer on a network, what more do you
23:26
want? Oh my god, I mean, it's revived the entire franchise.
23:29
It's unbelievable. You know. What's so wild is that this whole dipping out
23:33
thing has become I didn't know that that was a term that we were using.
23:37
Have you heard that? Well, it's now made its way separately on
23:42
three different reality shows. So here's the original audio clip I said, she
23:49
be So that's Tom that Summerhouse Martha's Vineyard. Okay, Oliver, I just
24:00
do want And that's Craig on Summer House. These are two. These are
24:04
three references to dipping out on Bravo shows, and they were all happening at
24:08
the same time. Not a coincidence, you know, I mean, or
24:12
maybe it is, but I had no clue that the kids were using this
24:15
term. And does dipped mean like because I've heard like I dipped or I'm
24:19
dipping like I'm leaving the party, But does that mean you're dipping in another
24:25
pond too? That's what I think. Oh, that's that. Does you
24:30
know because Craig referring to Oliver that he dipped because he did cheat, which
24:37
we will well, well, let's just get right into it. And there's
24:40
some Kristen Cavalery like stuff on TikTok now that you know, because it's going
24:45
viral that he was seeing Page and Kristin Cavalry in the beginning like oh them,
24:52
yes, And I'm like, okay, these women have better options.
25:00
These are great women. These are great women. Now, I will say,
25:03
you know, Craig and with the latest episode of Summerhouse, because it
25:07
was the finale, Anisha Summerhouse has come to a finale and Craig does talk
25:14
to Paige about, you know, wanting to live together before they get married,
25:17
and she's not leaving Manhattan. She's been clear, oh, very clear,
25:21
very very clear. You know. At this finale, they basically came
25:25
to an agreement that they would live in both places. And this is their
25:32
agreement that if one person needs to be in New York or Charleston, then
25:37
the other has to be with them. So if but this is gonna get
25:42
real murky, right, I mean when you're living in two different places as
25:45
a couple. So like Craig's gonna move a couple of suitcases into Pages and
25:51
same with her to him, which I already thought that they were doing.
25:52
But whatever, And so Craig will stay in New York when Page has to
25:57
be there, and then saying with Paige in Charleston. So how do you
26:03
think this can work? I don't know, because I've been there, done
26:06
that. I was in a relationship like that and it didn't work. And
26:11
now you know, I wanted to take the plunge with my husband, and
26:14
I live in Scottsdale, so I can travel a lot. But you know,
26:18
I think it depends on what stage you're in in the relationship. So
26:23
if you're trying to take it to the next level, and I do think
26:27
you should live together to see if you know you're compatible. You know,
26:30
it's very different living together. But now this just sounds kind of like you're
26:36
going to have two separate lives. And also who's going to make the decision
26:40
of when I have to like, if Page has to be in New York,
26:44
who's to say that when Craig's like, well I have to be in
26:45
Charleston, who's going to win that fight? I mean, I think it
26:48
depends on what show's airing and what show's filming. That's exactly. Yes,
26:53
between the lines, it's like, yeah, okay, so during exactly,
27:00
that's what that means. That's what that means. Okay, Well, Craig
27:03
seems like the only guy in the reality TV universe that really wants to settle
27:10
down and actually get married and start a family, which is so ironic.
27:14
Yeah, but I also think, you know, he's in his mid thirties
27:17
and you know he's been there, you know, he's been out there,
27:21
and Page is still young. I think he is young and has a bright
27:25
future. Again, I sound like I'm again like that so much going for
27:27
her, such a press much, so many opportunities, just endless opportunities,
27:33
really, right, she can be with a lot of different people, and
27:38
so I think they have to decide. Yeah, he's getting very emotional about
27:45
it, because this is an emotional time. Sorry, they have to decide.
27:52
Yeah, it's the shows. Well also, I mean Page's family is
27:56
in New York and she was like, I don't want to leave them,
27:59
and that's telling yes, but there's always child parients, like you know,
28:03
like we're not living here permanently. We know it's temporary really, so yeah,
28:10
so you know, if I think they need to first live in one
28:12
place to see if it's gonna work, it's gonna work six months eight.
28:18
But you know, if if she gets married and if it's to Craig,
28:22
then I guess we're going to get that spin off. Would you like to
28:26
see it? I think I would actually like to see them on their own
28:32
I would too, I really really I love them together. I think they're
28:34
a great couple. They're very different. It's very funny what strong they're both.
28:38
They're both great TV and they both have so much to offer in terms
28:45
of personality. They have a lot of spunk, and so I actually think
28:48
those two can have their own show and command an audience and be successful from
28:53
the from a business perspective, on a personal you know, on the personal
28:59
side, I think to really, if you love this person, you need
29:03
to make a decision. I agree I agree, all right, good thoughts
29:07
on that. Also with Summerhouse finale, Carl and Lindsay actually left the house
29:15
and they now about they need to well, they came back well because it
29:21
was the finale, so they was amazing. I met them at Bravo con.
29:26
Yes, everyone, everyone is so nice. So you you you're watching
29:30
as a viewer, but when you meet them, they're they're so kind and
29:33
I think, you know, they need their own they need their own life.
29:37
I don't I don't see them the page and Craig. I can't do
29:41
a spin off with them age and Craig. Yes, Lindsay and Carl know,
29:45
But where do they go from here? No one in the house wants
29:48
them there. They don't want to be there. Are we done? Are
29:51
they done? Look? Summerhouse started as a show, right for singles who
29:56
spend the summer in the Hampton's in a house and you know, and relationships
30:00
and it's a young audience. And now they're all nearing forty or r forty
30:07
and you know, that's life and entertainment. You got to move on to
30:11
the next thing, whatever that may be. I don't think they need to
30:14
be in the house another summer it's not real. That's when you know it's
30:18
not real. Like most people who have been married are not going back to
30:22
a summerhouse. They're not They're having their own life. Well, Kyle and
30:30
Amanda do. I mean, I think that Carl and Lindsay could, but
30:34
there's just there's so much tension between them and everyone and specifically Danielle. So
30:41
it really came to a head. And I know you haven't seen this,
30:44
but you saw the class on TikTok okay. Well, the scene with Danielle
30:48
and Lindsay was really heartbreaking and incredibly compelling. It was very tough to watch,
30:56
and I really do see both sides. But this whole season, and
31:02
I would say, I would say I have remained more team Lindsay and Carl
31:07
than I have been Danielle this whole time. And I just feel bad for
31:12
Danielle at the end of the day. I feel bad that she's super hurt,
31:15
but I feel like she cannot see the forest or the trees in this
31:18
situation. And I completely understand why Lindsay and Carl have pulled back from her
31:26
because of the way that she's acted over the course of this summer and Danielle's
31:33
argument, which is you're saying that I've only been there. I haven't been
31:37
there for you for one summer and I've been there for you for years,
31:42
is to me a very weak argument, I mean, because that doesn't ignore
31:48
how you've responded to them and their relationship this entire time, Like you've had
31:52
months to wrap your head around this. So I want to know what your
31:55
thoughts are like on the whole Danielle Lindsay thing, because it's over right now.
32:00
I was in a situation very similar on my third season, where you
32:04
know, I put my relationship first and made it a priority, and things
32:08
just change when you're a couple. I'm speaking from that perspective, and it's
32:16
tough being the person not in the couple right because it's like two against one
32:21
and that's never fun. And so I think I think they need to move
32:27
on. Well what tough is the entire house so pro Danielle and they can't
32:31
see they just hate Lindsay so much that they can't even see Lindsay's side at
32:36
all. And when Danielle was broken and I felt bad for her that she
32:39
was crying so hard and they were all waiting, they were all waiting in
32:43
the in the foyer listening to their fight. Okay, it was actually quite
32:49
comical. They're all sitting there with their you know, their jaw dropping to
32:53
what they're saying to each other. Danielle literally said, don't look at me
32:58
with your fucking smug face. And so there, you know, Amanda's in
33:02
her cheetah outfit, and of course it's a safari party and let me just
33:07
know about that. Yeah. And so then Danielle comes out there and they
33:12
all hold her and they're like, it's okay, it's okay, you said
33:15
the right thing. You stood up to her. And I'm like, is
33:16
anyone not seeing what I'm seeing? They don't. They're all supporting her,
33:22
and there's a whole other layer we don't see that isn't on the show.
33:25
You're watching like three minutes of a fight. You don't know a lot of
33:30
things that happen behind the scenes. So I'm always, you know, cautious
33:35
before I pick a side when watching a show, because then you'll meet that
33:38
person and then they'll tell you like eight other things that happened that didn't make
33:43
it on air. Yeah, it's Lindsay's the villain and and Danielle is the
33:47
victim in the circumstance, yes, but I don't know how she could have
33:51
had any other choice but to cut her out. It's very sad that Danielle
33:57
feels like I've been there for you, and Lindsay said, well, I've
33:59
been there for you too, and Danielle says, no, no, you
34:01
haven't. Well there may be some truth too that Danielle has stood up and
34:07
stuck up for Lindsay and been a rider's my friend that I don't take away
34:12
from her at all. It's just that that doesn't excuse the choices that you've
34:16
been making this entire summer about not wanting to embrace their engagement, Like why
34:22
would Carl want? It's not about you, it's not the most selfish,
34:27
like I've never sat so much selfishness in my life, Like, it's not
34:30
about you. Crazy. You know, They've got their new future. That's
34:37
that's their new future. Either choose to be in it or not. Like
34:42
it's not going to change. I know, so it must be. I
34:46
mean, where do you see where do you see Lindsay and Carl going?
34:50
I mean, in based on historical reality TV where you know someone didn't like
34:55
it? Or someone wasn't happy for the newly engaged couple or the newlyweds.
35:01
Eventually that person's just cut off. It doesn't matter how many years of friendship
35:07
there is, just you know, if you're not on board and was that
35:14
are there? Is there anyone in your life that were you know what you
35:16
mentioned each you know, like like people, So that happened so many times,
35:22
right, Like they didn't like, you know, the boyfriend and then
35:24
you know, that person moves on. That hasn't happened to me. No
35:29
one disapproved of my engagement or anything like that. It was more like they
35:34
wanted more of my attention. Yes, and I couldn't give it at the
35:37
time. But uh, I'm a writer die and I've been there and if
35:43
anyone got engaged, I'm the person that would put aside all differences and celebrate
35:49
that person. That's what you do. Yeah, absolutely. I mean I
35:52
have a daughter who's five years old, and this is like it may be
35:55
aware, but you know what, when you're like thirteen, I'm gonna say,
35:59
when it comes to like weddings and funerals and you know events, it's
36:02
not about us, It's not about it's just put everything aside, okay,
36:07
because it can blow up and destroy people's lives. You can see the resentment
36:12
that Carl and Lindsay have towards towards Danielle about basically ruining the celebration of the
36:16
happiest day of their life. You know. Oh and then she said,
36:21
I don't know if you saw on TikTok, but when Lindsay was leaving,
36:23
she was like, and you're not invited to the wedding. I mean she
36:27
was like, that was a very petty, very very petty. I mean,
36:32
Lindsay's not one hundred percent innocent. I think that she could have at
36:37
some point maybe had a little bit of empathy and been softer, and then
36:40
that way, maybe Danielle would have broken down a little bit. Even though
36:45
I do believe that Lindsay was right, I just think that she could have
36:47
given her a little bit of grace in order to try to figure out how
36:51
they can get through this. But it was beyond that. You know,
36:54
the best thing to do is just to put it aside and move forward.
36:59
But I don't know they're going to be able to move forward after that.
37:01
No, But you know, with Lindsay not being in the summerhouse. I
37:04
mean, that's going to be a real miss. She's a huge part.
37:07
I mean, like if you think about who's remaining, I mean, good
37:12
luck. She's kind of a ball busting needed necessity and I you know,
37:19
they're gonna have to get some other people in there. This is This is
37:22
an audio drop that we have from Sam and Corey from this episode. I
37:25
just feel like we're on the same page. We're having a good time,
37:29
and like we're connecting on real levels now, Like this is no longer like
37:32
pull my hairspit in my mouth. This is like maybe this can go the
37:36
distance. So that's what we're We're being left with that, you know what
37:42
I mean, Like, there's only so far you can go with that.
37:44
Even though I love that they've had this you know, connection and they seem
37:47
to be doing great and they're still dating. But yes, that's I can't
37:54
take that. Seriously, I can't take that audio clips. I know,
38:00
I know, I do, I do. You know, wish them all
38:06
like the best, I think, so like there is a time frame on
38:09
these stints, you know, like yeah, we want to keep singing everybody
38:14
on these shows, but sometimes you know, your life happens. Life happens.
38:21
Okay, Well, Maya and Oliver the ship really hit the fan here,
38:25
and my god, love Maya. God bless Maya for being so new
38:30
that she thought that she could go into a bathroom and tell all of the
38:32
covers microphone. It's tough being the nub and you know, it's like,
38:37
did you watch the other seasons? Right? Also, this is a reality
38:43
show, like do your job, okay at this point, just show up
38:47
and do your job. Her running around the party being like can you not
38:52
are you miked up? Yeah? On the show? You you brought him
38:54
here, like you signed up for this. Yeah, of course, ever
39:00
on fiked up and to be like cover your microphone. So now it's all
39:04
Now it's like why did you cheat on me? You know, it's just
39:07
like okay, and we can't hear that, so now we're going to find
39:10
out. I guess at the reunion there's like eleven girls or something like that.
39:14
It's like Sandoval basically, it's a lot of women and a lot of
39:17
personalities. I think it was I think the people got what they wanted from
39:22
Summer House this season, though, yeah, say from the TikTok's and the
39:25
clips, I think it was a great they had a great season. Did
39:29
I love that you watch your reality TV like you catch up on I mean,
39:32
I know it's it's a great way to do it. I love a
39:35
TikTok What is your what's your algorithm? Like on TikTok? Because oh really,
39:40
okay, so you really do that's where you do your deep dive.
39:44
I do. Like last night I saw like Teresa and Louis were on Access
39:47
Hollywood. Uh huh. They're talking about you know, the wedding and Housewives
39:52
of New Jersey might be on pause because they're fighting, the sisters in laws
39:58
fighting. It's like that's intense. It's like, yeah, I'm keeping up
40:01
with everything. Yeah, you sure are like watching like you know the episode
40:07
when it airs, Like, no, I'm okay, So give me your
40:10
takes on Jersey. So, oh my god, do you have Are you
40:15
on a team It's hard to say, Gorgon Yeah, okay, okay,
40:17
and I think unpopular opinion from what I've read, just like you know your
40:22
team, Lindsay. But I've been an invested viewer since I was like in
40:28
my twenties. I mean these people are like, yeah, still on.
40:31
Yeah, it's in my blood. I'm a Teresa. Good, good for
40:36
you. No, I I've been. I've been Teresa pretty much. I'm
40:39
almost always Teresa, even though I can still call out her bullshit and she
40:44
doesn't ever want to be wrong and she's completely bullheaded all this stuff, but
40:46
I get it. You know, she is now the matriarch of her family,
40:52
you know, the parents, the parents passed away, and I feel
40:55
like, and I get that whole because it's that Italian culture is very similar
41:00
to Indian South Asian culture, where it's like family first. So I understand,
41:06
and I think what we really saw this season, what came to light,
41:09
especially on social media's and Melissa Gorga is amazing. I've met her in
41:14
person, I've met Joe at Bravo Con. Everyone was so kind. But
41:17
knowing that you got on the show and didn't tell Teresa that, it just
41:22
rubs me the wrong way. I feel like, you, oh my god,
41:24
this is all I say you. I've met my soulmate. I've met
41:28
my soulmate. Right there. It's like, that's you're shady, so who
41:32
does That's exactly right. That's what I've said from that is I always circle
41:37
back to that Anisha always and now obviously, Teresa has never been able to
41:43
get over that, which I'm able to either. If that was my brother's
41:47
wife, it's Teresa's show. I mean, they waited for her to come
41:52
back from prison, like this is her show. Yeah, And how you're
41:55
gonna get on my show? There's recordings, there's texts, there's emails for
42:01
you from you begging everyone in the network and production please give me a chance
42:07
on this show, cast mates, And now you're going to get on the
42:10
show and start playing and not tell Teresa it's that from and she's never and
42:15
if she ever came clean, if she ever were to just come clean and
42:19
be like, look, I mean, because it's so many years now,
42:22
she could easily make it right and say I was wrong by doing that.
42:25
I was thirsty and I see that now, and I you know that's there's
42:30
nothing wrong with just being honest about that. And then how much would would
42:35
I would be able to celebrate Melissa at that point because I'd beel like you
42:37
owned it. But that's why I've never ever been able to be team Melissa
42:42
from that jar, because that's where it started. And did Teresa Pylon and
42:46
Pylon, Yeah, of course, But it all stems from that, and
42:52
it's really unfortunate because it you know, Teresa is right when it comes to
42:59
that, but there's a lot that she's wrong about. And Melissa and Teresa
43:01
are like the same person. Then now they live parallelized by doing lives,
43:06
by doing the same thing to each other, but live in similar homes like
43:09
they don't realize they're literally it's like coppy paste. Yeah, so what do
43:16
you think of Louis? What do you think about Teresa and Louis? And
43:20
I feel really bad saying this. I don't know the man. I've never
43:22
spoken to the man, but cringe, slime flags, slimy, cringe e.
43:30
She seems very happy, but again, she's calling the shots right.
43:35
It's her world and they're all living in it. And I don't to this
43:39
day, don't know what he's contributing or doing or what other than just being
43:45
there and wearing her dad's pajamas. And it's very disturbing. And I think
43:51
he found his retirement package. Wow, wow, wow. What do you
43:58
foresee happening in the future? I mean, because it can't end well.
44:01
I actually think they're good together, so I hope it works out because I
44:06
think they're good together. I think she really they love each other. They're
44:10
on the same page. You don't think it'll backfire no matter with something with
44:15
what he does. I think he needs to just figure out, like,
44:16
Okay, we all think you're slimy, we all think you're cringey now,
44:20
but okay, now do something fix it. Okay, like get a job,
44:25
get a career, do something where we don't continue to think that you're
44:30
just living off her. So of it. And if they were to make
44:36
choices about the cast, because now apparently this reunion is absolutely, you know,
44:42
off the rails, if they were to choose, do you think that
44:45
Louis and Theresa should take a little break in their love ball. I actually
44:49
really like both of them together. I think people want to see them.
44:52
But it can't just be the Gorgas versus the Judicis. I can't be every
44:59
season it's just the same fight over and over and over again. And so
45:05
at that point, if they're going to come back, the production should just
45:09
edit all that stuff out. No one wants to see it over your twenty
45:14
minute show. Yeah well no, well that's what I'm saying. The other
45:16
people need to step it up. What do you think about Danielle and Rachel
45:21
the New Housewives. I like them. I like them a lot, A
45:23
lot of people love them, and I think the Teresa and Melissa should be
45:29
shaking in a corner because if you keep doing the same nonsense, guess what,
45:32
They've found two other people that can bring a lot to the table on
45:37
their own without this more story. Okay, good calling on that. We've
45:45
just put them in the group. So you know, now, let's see
45:47
season one of any show. You're just trying to get to know who they
45:52
are next, then you need now step it up, like Okay, we
45:55
know you, we know your personalities, but now brings thing to the table.
46:00
What's what are you going to do? That's now? Like? That
46:05
was like fun? Now season the second season these two are on. I
46:09
want to now I can make a judgment like are you good to Yeah?
46:15
I think Danielle definitely. She she kind of overshot it, which I have
46:19
No, I don't have a problem with that. I think that's great because
46:22
I'd rather you overshoot than it probably showed you that right right right right exactly.
46:30
I'm just from both sides. Yes, I love the take, like
46:34
she probably had some other moments that weren't like that thirsty or two extra,
46:38
but they also probably wanted the audience to see that stuff. Also, I
46:45
mean, her feud with her brother is like the new Gorga shoot ice.
46:51
We don't need another one. No, we really don't like. I don't
46:53
want to like. Great, we know you don't like your brother. What's
46:57
next? Right, right, let's go over the foodahs. All right,
47:01
so let me ask you about what you think of the lastly Real Housewives of
47:07
New York reboot. Yes, I wanted I have an unpopular opinion. Okay,
47:14
people make mistakes. I know people. You know, we live in
47:16
a world where we're canceling people, you know, if we're just going to
47:20
cancel a chosen few and other people get to thrive because none of this,
47:25
none of it is fair, right, Cancel culture is not fair. It's
47:29
all like whoever's the chosen one to get canceled and everyone in the world would
47:35
be canceled. We're human. Now there are boundaries, right, like are
47:39
you actually a horrible human being and you're actually racist and all of that stuff.
47:45
No tolerance, absolutely not. But now like not bringing back the ogs
47:51
because of whatever. I don't think it was a good idea. I don't
47:55
think it was a good I think the reboot is fantastic. It is a
48:00
representation of what New York is. But I really need to know is this
48:06
an organic group of women or were they just thrown together because it seems like
48:10
they're just thrown together to fit like a diversity criteria at times. Sometimes watching
48:19
these clips and the openers and you know, the trailer, it's like,
48:24
are they even like do they go way back? Right? Well, find
48:28
that's what we'll see, and I am I'm curious about that too, because
48:30
that's all we want. We want organic relationships. I mean New York in
48:35
the beginning, they all knew each other, they all they all have like
48:37
you can even when they talk about each other and they post about each other,
48:42
they can post about each other from like thirty twenty years ago. Those
48:46
are real friendships. They actually hang out when the show is done filming,
48:52
like everyone on family Karma. Like this is real community, real stories,
48:58
real groups of friend friends people women, And we don't want to create boy
49:05
bands, you know, like these boy bands of the nineties seemed like so
49:08
that's what it seems like, and you know, uh, I hope it
49:13
does well. But maybe instead of being a reboot, maybe they should have
49:16
just called it something else. Because as someone who's OG and a lot of
49:21
people out there are in the same mind frame as me with this. There
49:25
are a lot of new shows right coming up, and a lot of people
49:30
will tune in. But the core, the I sound like a doctor now,
49:35
the blood vessels, like the heartbeat of Bravo, are these women.
49:40
Yes, we have following all these women for over a decade, me included.
49:49
Yes, bring new shows, bring new people, but these are the
49:55
women that built this network. These are the core people that we're all going
50:01
to Bravo Khan to see. The Ogs on every show, the Ogs,
50:07
the day ones, and they've given so much. I think it was a
50:10
little unfair to maybe throw them on a girl's trip now, which I will
50:15
watch. Love all the girl's trips. I love that they're doing that.
50:17
I request have a non Housewives girls trip. Maybe I can go with a
50:23
few peers. Who would you like to go on your girl's trip? Okay,
50:29
so non Housewives girls trip? You who else? Page page perfect?
50:36
Okay? I mean people who can talk the talk and walk the walk.
50:39
We want to see k Chastain, you know, throwing someone from vander Pump.
50:45
I mean, there's so many, all of them, who Raquel,
50:47
they all bring in, throw in La La. I don't know what she
50:51
would do cast that isn't her comfort zone. Yes, that is so good
50:58
you because I k as Dame La La. We need two more, I
51:02
mean, and she is a housewife. But someone like you know, Candice,
51:07
you know, from Potomac, Like we need people like that, Like
51:09
you need a singer. You definitely need to need a singer, you know.
51:15
But yeah, there's so many, and so maybe bring back someone from
51:19
Shas, you know, like they're all still there. We're all okay,
51:22
all right, I think we got it. I love it. But but
51:25
yeah, as far as this reboot, I really wanted to succeed. I
51:30
think, you know, it looks good. I just hope it's all real.
51:35
Yeah, and the ogs they deserve, they deserve Real Housewives of New
51:39
York that that that is the show. Can you imagine, you know,
51:43
And I'm on you know, I'm on Bravo, Like, can you imagine
51:46
just canceling the show and just bringing everyone new It's so bizarre. And then
51:54
the upfronts recently just with them there and then they were they were like sitting
52:00
in chairs in front and the new ones in the back. I was like,
52:02
this seems like some sort of family put the elders on the chair.
52:06
I was like, this is what I don't know. And then now,
52:09
because you made the reboot and called it the same thing, are we only
52:15
going to see everyone else in bits and pieces? When it said I read
52:20
all the comments on TikTok. You know in the trailer of the rebook,
52:23
everyone's like, okay, but we want to see the other people, Like,
52:27
yes, they put them on a girls trip, but part of the
52:30
fun was also watching their life in New York, Like, Okay, that's
52:34
great there and on an island now Scary Island, the same island of Scary
52:37
Island, but like I want to see their life, Like I want to
52:40
see the town home. Why couldn't they do a mix. Well, maybe
52:45
you'll see them packing, but that's all we'll get. We'll get a packing
52:49
montage and then we're out. I know they have Crappy Lake coming with Lan
52:53
and my God, so we'll watch all that stuff. Yeah, I agree,
52:59
that looked great. And maybe if they do I don't know, maybe
53:01
if they do more of it and their kids, right, we're all invested
53:05
in the kids. I would watch like shows with their kids, like you
53:09
know, Jia Judai I said, I want to see where what she's gonna
53:14
do with her career. I want to see like the girls, the sisters.
53:16
I want to see Ramona's daughter, Like, these are all people we've
53:20
watched so like. I think there's so many, so much opportunity there.
53:23
And to just put them on a girl's trip because maybe someone said something.
53:30
I think they did a disservice to the Queen's anisha. I'm so glad to
53:35
have you here. This is so I feel like I could. I felt
53:37
like I was like fighting for them in the boardroom. Man, you should
53:40
be NBC or something. We're gonna send this clip directly to Bravo Exacts immediately
53:46
after. But where can people find because you're doing a podcast, you're doing
53:51
stand up shows. Can you just give me the rundown and where people can
53:53
bind you? Yes, you can find me obviously on Instagram. A niche
53:58
rama Krishna Nishar Rama Krishna is not available on Instagram because people are like,
54:02

54:07
