- 4:15flight, thanks for bringing it up. I flew back home yesterday, and
- 4:19gosh, if you haven't listened to my stew Crew episode here on Patreon,

- 4:41I've got the bish therapist, I've got manifestation expert. We do bonus
- 4:46episodes doing the Bachelorette things like that and other Bravo shows. But also I
- 4:50recently interviewed the stew crew, and that is four flight attendants who I've been
- 4:56connected with through this journey of you know, Bravo Ring Bravo and social media
- 5:00and stuff like that, and we've been communicating they are a nameless they are
- 5:04not certainly not faceless. They have the smiles that will light up the skies.
- 5:09Truly. They are wonderful, wonderful, wonderful people who I interviewed about,
- 5:15you know, tips and tips and tricks about traveling, dirty little secrets
- 5:18that happen that you don't know about. There's a lot that they couldn't say.
- 5:23There's a lot that we left unsaid. So they're going to come back
- 5:27again for travel tips during the holidays. But in the meantime, you can
- 5:29find that episode there. And this is what I will say. One of
- 5:33the biggest tips since the episode has aired, I will say was really cool
- 5:38Emily because they said, look, one of the questions that a Darling listener
- 5:42asked was what's the best way to get an upgrade? And they said,
- 5:48bring your flight attendants some chocolates, bring him some treats. Hmm, okay,
- 5:55well I maybe them, but let me tell you I've done that.
- 6:00Also Al did that and they were like, uh, I have so much
- 6:05chocolate right now. I don't know if it was because it was like around
- 6:10the holidays or whatever, but they were like, you gotta be kidding me,
- 6:13dude, really, okay, what a Starbucks gift card? You know
- 6:17that? That's the other thing, you know, so like anything like that,
- 6:21and they and so sure enough I did that on my flight to and
- 6:26fro from Michigan. And though I will say this, I had already been
- 6:30upgraded, thank you hashtag a silver medallion. I had already been doing,
- 6:38Yes, very well, everybody, she's doing really well, roll well because
- 6:46I am a silver medallion from all my flights for cabareage rolling. I mean,
- 6:50I stay go across the United States, do my cover RT, I
- 6:54rock up those points, big boys. But yeah, so so I was
- 6:59already up great a comfort plus. How many times am I going to say
- 7:00that comfort plus come where you can stretch out your legs hips And buddy,
- 7:05buddy, buddy, I did find out. You want to know what the
- 7:09plus is? The plus is free drinks. The pluses free drinks, which
- 7:13I had not partaken because I like to which what oh no, that went
- 7:17away during Remember they weren't doing drinks during COVID forever on the flight. Oh
- 7:24and now they're back. Baby, they're back, and people are smoking.
- 7:28You can smoke and comfort plus. But yeah, it was great. And
- 7:34listen, here's the thing. I still brought the chocolates and the flight attendants
- 7:39went fucking bananas. I mean they went, but okay, they just want
- 7:43to be appreciated. Thank you for all you do, you know, yes,
- 7:46and it makes you feel good, makes you feel good, yes,
- 7:49And I think, like, what's it gonna hurt if you bring them chocolates.
- 7:53They can regift them. Yeah, they can give them to some Yeah.
- 7:57Now I was I I love a first flight out because the traffic here
- 8:03in LA I don't want to deal with it the way that things have been,
- 8:07you know, is just with flights. Sometimes they get canceled. You
- 8:11don't know if you need the entire day to make up for what goes wrong.
- 8:13So I like to take that like six am flight right out of town.
- 8:20I am. I am waking up at three am. I am in
- 8:24that uber at three thirty three forty five and I am on my way.
- 8:28I am walking through. I am like there's no traffic, there's nothing's happening.
- 8:33I mean, I did a video from Detroit Metro Airport coming down the
- 8:37escalator, no one in front of me, no one behind me, no
- 8:41one for got near you know, an acre, And I was like,
- 8:46I'm an, this is the kind of influencer I am. I can do
- 8:48a video and no one will be looking at me, and it's just a
- 8:54delight. So and then you get on that plane and everyone's sleeping. You
- 8:58know, you're just you're zonked out. Me and the guy on the way
- 9:01back from Detroit both have issues with our sleep. We were like like twitching
- 9:09and he was he elbowed me and I like like did a huge like whiplash
- 9:13back. You know, we both I think have sleep apnea or night terrors
- 9:18or something. But we were quite the pair and we never discussed it.
- 9:22But it was quite funny anyway that thinks about that, like, oh,
- 9:26go ahead, what are we gonna know that? That's it? Just it's
- 9:30terrifying. I I'm always like, if I walked up to this stranger right
- 9:35now and said do you want to take a nap with me? I get
- 9:37arrested. But on a flight, like I'm always like, I'm going to
- 9:41take a nap with that person. That person I are going to nap together.
- 9:46Now, now listen, I don't need to get into your business.
- 9:48But you're not like big Spooning and little Spooning. These people are you not?
- 9:52You know, but sometimes you can't help. But like you're in each
- 9:58other's zone, just the way that we're set up. And so it's like
- 10:03I would never in one billion years ever be this close to this person.
- 10:07Not only that, now I'm going to go to sleep with them. Now
- 10:09we're going to nap together, potting. You know, we're like in pods
- 10:13and we're just yeah, that is such a bizarre concept now that you say
- 10:16that, and I'm sleeping closer to them than I ever would partner. Yesh,
- 10:22Yeah, you're right. I slip next to the Yes, Brett and
- 10:26I we're miles apart. We're not cuddlers. We want our space, yes,
- 10:31but not on an airplane. No, excuse me, sir? You
- 10:37ready? You ready to go to sleep now with me? Let's go night
- 10:39night. So I love a first flight out Emily, how do you?
- 10:43I'm sure you love a first flight out right? I really hate it?
- 10:48Why how could you? Because it throws off my entire next day, my
- 10:56first day wherever I am. I don't So if you get a first flight
- 11:01out in LA. In theory, it's good because you're probably flying to an
- 11:07earlier time zone, but it still throws me so far off. I'd rather
- 11:11fly midday, get in and sleep and then wake up like I'd rather arrive
- 11:16to where I'm going at like eleven pm. Oh got it? Okay,
- 11:22yeakay, fair enough, fair enough, and then just like sleep in then
- 11:26a little bit the next day, versus being up basically for twenty four hours
- 11:31because if I fly at six am, you got to get up at like
- 11:35four or three, and you know, oh, you're gonna get up at
- 11:39three. Oh my god. I don't know how you people do it.
- 11:43I love it. I got to do it next week. I'm not.
- 11:46Oh you're doing it next week? Yeah? Oh I didn't know that you
- 11:52off work? No no, no, I'm gonna be recording from Maryland where
- 11:56I'm going. Oh that's right, I forgot. Yeah, I'm sorry.
- 12:00In my own world, I'm sorry. What you didn't You didn't ask for
- 12:03time off. You're like, check the emails. You'll never get to be
- 12:11great. We're gonna get some good old fashioned Maryland WiFi up in this but
- 12:16the Wii is solid. It's truly this area where I'm in that I think
- 12:22I have terrible WiFi. I have an Ethernet cable there anyway, so I'm
- 12:26ready fair enough. Oh that's what I had to do at my parents' house.
- 12:30You know, I had to hard wire in if you will. Mom
- 12:33is doing okay. My mom is doing okay. She You know, I
- 12:37felt good about leaving when I did. I'm glad I extended my trip.
- 12:41But you know, uh, she's improving, you know, so that's good.
- 12:46And but gosh, it feels weird to be back and like not taking
- 12:50care of her. I have to say. I'm like, oh, it
- 12:52kind of stresses me out a little bit, you know what I mean.
- 12:54Way, yeah, but I had to get back. There's so much going
- 12:58on here, and you know, now it's just up to my dad.
- 13:01My brother and sister in law are there, which is good, but you
- 13:05know, I'm just trying to like set my alarm, my dad's alarms for
- 13:09the medication times and stuff. And I have notes around the house and I'm
- 13:13checking in constantly, so you know, I think they have it under control.
- 13:18I think so. But I am happy to be back. My Maddie
- 13:24was just ecstatic. It's nice to be reunited. Yeah, so did you
- 13:28get her a little something special at the Detroit Airport? I did. I
- 13:33always bring her back something always away too. I didn't do a snow globe
- 13:37this time because she already has one from Detroit. But I just got her
- 13:39like a little stuffed animal puppy in a bag. She loves those types of
- 13:43She loves her stuffies. And she calls him Potato. And then what was
- 13:50the other thing I was going to say about? Was it about my trama?
- 13:56Was about coming back? Oh? Who knows? I don't. I
- 13:58don't know, but I'm happy to be here. We are going to be
- 14:03doing Orange County today and since last week we didn't do Orange County since I
- 14:07was traveling that day. But we're going to do like we're gonna touch on
- 14:13a little bit about what happened last week and then you know, and then
- 14:16what happened last night, and then tomorrow it's going to be Project Runway and
- 14:22The Bachelorette as the bonus episode. How very exciting is that? How exciting
- 14:33it sounded like Heather to me, Oh, oh exciting? Oh you know
- 14:39what? I you know? And I remember to say an update about the
- 14:45fur since we were recapping New York the other day. Yes, yes,
- 14:48yes, and Brynn was wearing her fur coat and we got into that discussion
- 14:52and then I was like, oh my god, I totally forgot that I
- 14:54have a fur I wonder if it survived the fire. And that fire is
- 14:58the fire of you know, twenty nineteen of my parents' house where they just
- 15:05lost almost everything, but there was a there were a lot of things that
- 15:09were able to be refurbished, so I didn't know if that fur coat was
- 15:13something that they got refurbished for. Okay, the pun queen is checked in
- 15:22puns across America, and so it's okay. I found it. After our
- 15:28podcast. I went and looked and sure enough it's there, and I took
- 15:30a payment. Sure it looks awesome, it's cool, Right, did you
- 15:33post it? I did post it. I posted on Instagram. I was
- 15:37like, perfect for the Santa Clarita summers. It's furpick. Sorry, no
- 15:43shit, per per perfect purfick And it was a fur pick. Hi,
- 15:50How are you? How you doing? How you doing? How you doing?
- 15:56It's like a seventies When you say style fur, it's a whiteish with
- 16:02some caramel. I don't know what kind of fur. I think it's more
- 16:04like it's probably fox or rabbit. And I hate saying that out loud,
- 16:07but that's probably what it is. It was a vintage fur that was gifted
- 16:11to me many a moon moons ago, and and there it sits in my
- 16:15parents' house. Oh you didn't. You didn't bring it back. I think
- 16:19I think keep that in Michigan. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna keep it
- 16:22there. I think a little bit, a little bit, a little bit
- 16:26well butt. And to answer your question, is not a Dietrich fur If
- 16:30those of you who are from Torot, Dietrich Furs is a very very popular
- 16:36fur company from the eighties that they used to have these commercials on. They
- 16:38used to go die trick and it was a woman on a horse riding with
- 16:45this fur coat. They're absolutely epic commercials like Jim Mark Casey, Jim Mark
- 16:51Casey on a horse. What he was a horse? Oh? Maybe he
- 16:56was just at a horse farm in his stetson clothes. Oh oh you're talking
- 17:00about Wow, that is an impressive that's a deep jersey cut. Sorry,
- 17:07keep going, That is a deep jersey cut. Geez, The things that
- 17:11stick into your mind that must have been traumatizing to see. I think it's
- 17:15just stuck in a trauma in a trauma way. It was because it was
- 17:21Jim Rcasey. Anything involving him is traumatizing. And also like he was like
- 17:27out of nowhere taking a knee and memory of his wife's cancer. And don't
- 17:32you like he was like just having a moment for no reason. The context
- 17:37of it, Yes, that was the context. I just didn't remember him
- 17:40in a fur. I think he was wearing like a leather stetson coat with
- 17:45the caur liner. Okay, but it gave Dietrich for commercial vibes, okay
- 17:51from what you're saying, yeah for absolutely yeah, And I you know,
- 17:56I don't want to bring Dietrich into that. I don't I think we.
- 18:00I think we keep de trich Firs out of that, out of out of
- 18:03the Jersey mouths. Let's just not okay. Okay, So before we get
- 18:11into our recap, we're going to get into some serving dish. That's that's
- 18:14what we're save things right now, right freaking now. Six Page six is
- 18:23reporting that Caroline Manso Brandy Glanville's dramatic Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season is delayed
- 18:32after well remember there's that incident that happened between Brandy and Caroline. Well,
- 18:37anyway, the Peacock has decided to push back the premiere of The Real Housewives
- 18:41Ultimate Girls Trip Ex Wives Club until next year. The network announced on Twitter
- 18:47or aka you know x Wednesday that they bumped up The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls
- 18:52Trip, Real Real Housewives New York Legacy launch date to December, pushing the
- 18:57other series back a few months, and the network tweeted, We're in a
- 19:03New York state of mind as a thank you to all the fans for the
- 19:07support of Roney and Crappy leg The next season of RHOGT will be Roney Legacy,
- 19:14coming this December on Peacock and then we'll see you in Morocco in twenty
- 19:18twenty four. Now this is interesting. I mean, I do think that,
- 19:26you know, I'm sure a lot of people are thinking, is it
- 19:27possible that there's some sort of legalities going on between Caroline Manzo and Brandy and
- 19:33the whole network thing. I don't know, you think that's exactly why,
- 19:37Because for me, I'm thinking, I'm just thinking they are going where the
- 19:41ratings want them to go. But I could be so naive you really do
- 19:45think that there's something going on that they're pushing it back because of legal reasons.
- 19:48Yes, because I want to watch that more than I want to watch
- 19:52the Legacy. Oh, because I want to see what goes on. I'm
- 19:56like, so, oh that's interesting. Yeah, that's a reason, you
- 19:59know what I mean? Yeah? So I mean when I say that I
- 20:03want to see what went down with Brandy and Manzo, yea more than I
- 20:07want to see I want, like, we know what's going to happen.
- 20:11It's protectable. Wow, it's like what it's like any It's like any of
- 20:15these shows. When you hear about drama ahead of the season breaking, you're
- 20:19just like, I want to see that in full. Now that said,
- 20:23whatever went down sounds like not your normal drama. So unless, unless,
- 20:30of course, as I mentioned, you are a male for higher chef or
- 20:36trainer on the show, then of course you get groped and dry humped all
- 20:41the time. But to have a wife due to another wife, it's always
- 20:45interesting, right boy? Oh boy? Okay, well, then I have
- 20:51no choice but to agree with you that there's obviously something brilliant under I have
- 20:56you have no choice? Yeah? Yeah? Choice? In other news,
- 21:00uh, Bravo by Gaze follow them on Instagram. Love that account. They
- 21:07just posted yesterday that Southern Charm season nine trailer is allegedly dropping, meaning today
- 21:12Thursday. That's what they heard. We'll see. I don't know. I
- 21:17don't know. I don't know what's going to happen. But it has been
- 21:18a while and I heard rumors that maybe September that it might be coming back,
- 21:26which is very soon. Yes, wouldn't have expected. So wowow,
- 21:33yes, yeah, no, I'm excited. I would I like us.
- 21:36I would like that for September. That would be great. Yeah, I
- 21:38would like that too. So okay, what else do we have to say?
- 21:45Oh? Yes, So, Erica Jane was on Watch It Happens Live
- 21:48along with Jackie Hoffman, and there were a couple of things that she spoke
- 21:53to that Andy asked her about, you know, one of which was meeting
- 21:57with the thevictims of Tom Girardi and that time when she went to that ice
- 22:03cream place. Remember we talked about that, right right, So and she
- 22:08quote, you know, she said, and I quote, I went there
- 22:11with an open heart. They were very nice to me and they did not
- 22:14have to be. I'm sure that they were very hurt still so and then
- 22:19of course I think Andy said, well, you know, why why did
- 22:23you do this and why now? And she was like, well, there's
- 22:26you know, legal reasons that there's timing behind all kind of legal stuff.
- 22:32So obviously, and that makes perfect sense. She probably couldn't do it in
- 22:37the height of everything that was going on, and now she's she's doing that.
- 22:41So I think that was great to see. I'm interested to see if
- 22:45they film that for the season. I'm guessing they did, but somebody did,
- 22:51right, because there there was Yeah, there were It was like I
- 22:53was something around the documentary or something. I don't know. Yeah, I
- 22:57couldn't. I don't. I don't even know if it was filming so much
- 23:00as she was in full hair and makeup and it was photographed really well,
- 23:04so I just assume that there was some kind maybe that was just press.
- 23:10There were cameras in there are they say, okay, okay, whose cameras?
- 23:12I mean, look, I know this is I just everybody whenever shit
- 23:19hits the fan, the tell that they are wrong is like things are gonna
- 23:25come out and I can't speak about it now, but things are gonna Bill
- 23:30O'Reilly said this Tucker Carlson. It's always like, Okay, well it's been
- 23:37a minute. Are the things coming out yet? Like right? Right?
- 23:41But in Erica's case, I actually am here for it, Like I will
- 23:47listen for things to come out. Usually I'm like, they're not coming out,
- 23:51You're done kind of thing. Yeah, But in Erica's case, I
- 23:55really do believe just because we saw those dynamics between her and him. I
- 23:59don't know how much she knew. I think agree. I don't think she
- 24:03knew anything and until until she knew, until she knew when she got out
- 24:08Right now, I do not support her behavior afterwards to be so callous,
- 24:15but I also don't know what her lawyers were telling her to do so,
- 24:21And then I do agree with any but the social media was off the chain
- 24:26like that those THERE'ST traps constant, THERE'ST traps, and I know, like
- 24:32she can say, well, I had to do it to make money,
- 24:33right right, and it's like, well, you know, it's the optics
- 24:38of that. I don't know. So I guess I couldn't see the force.
- 24:42I agree. I during that time, she couldn't see the force of
- 24:45the trees she had. She was making every poor decision in terms of the
- 24:51way she would be, you know, appear in the public. Everything that
- 24:56you could have done better, you didn't do. And then I also like,
- 25:00I don't know, she kind of like chose to do the worst types
- 25:03of things instead of the best types of things. But if she did the
- 25:06best types of things, like buy the book and did everything that we would
- 25:10want her to do, would it even seem authentic? And we'd probably be
- 25:12like, oh, that's what we want you to say, because we're never
- 25:15happy, you know, so who knows true that's true? So we'll just
- 25:18we will have to just wait and see when all the facts are out.
- 25:22We'll just have to watch what happens. But also, speaking of watch what
- 25:27happens live, one of the things that she said, because they were addressing
- 25:32her extreme weight loss, you know, this was the headline for sure,
- 25:37the headline Okay, right, I buried the headline victims. Right, this
- 25:41is really what we're all talking about, and that is that she said,
- 25:45yes, I've lost a lot of weight, wait and and and then Andy's
- 25:51she said harmonially, and Andy said not ozembically, and she said I was
- 25:56going to do an as and and then Jackie hoffin without missing a beat,
- 26:03was like, hu loses weight during menopause, Like it was so funny,
- 26:08which is like I do I tell my doctor to take it off and I
- 26:11don't know what that means. I don't know what that means. Well didn't.
- 26:15Isn't that what Margaret also said? It was peptides and hormones that she
- 26:19would which is basically maybe code for what Kobe pharmaceutical like that, because what's
- 26:26the generic. That's the other thing I realized is the loophole? Is it
- 26:30somebody might not be on ozembic, but they might be on the other version
- 26:34of it. Yeah, And so they say no, I'm on hormones and
- 26:37it really is bullshit. I mean that's where I say like, okay,
- 26:41well stop you disagree? Yeah, I disagree with you with what with this
- 26:48with? So here's where I am like, this is why I'm oh,
- 26:51I see you're fine. You're fine with them lying? I'm not. Yeah,
- 26:53I think it's a just a bold place lie. What we all want
- 26:56to know is are you cheating at weight loss? Are are you using a
- 27:00weight loss cheet? That's what we want to know because if you are,
- 27:03be transparent about it, because it's such a trend right now, and everybody's
- 27:07doing it all of a sudden, everybody's losing all this dramatic weight. Go
- 27:11ahead, we bottle counterpoint. I think that in this moment it's controversial to
- 27:21say that you're on it because there's a limited supply of it, and so
- 27:25I don't think people really want to be the poster child of the person that's
- 27:29taking it for vanity. And I did hear a doctor on NPR. I
- 27:36am really heady, so I listened to like NPR, but anyway, I'm
- 27:41like, wow, I'm like so smart, like a I'm a coastal elite,
- 27:52so elite, a live coastal elite. So anyway on NPR that this
- 28:00doctor is like, look, wait, the problems with being overweight far out
- 28:07number the people that have diabetes, and diabetes is also a problem with that.
- 28:11So the doctor's like, we need to like kind of uh refocus this
- 28:18conversation because all these people that are losing this weight, it's it's stopping high
- 28:23blood pressure, it's stopped you know, there's all these other things that it's
- 28:26helping with. So we just need to bump up the supply so it's not
- 28:32one taking from the other. There's just so there can be more of it.
- 28:36Now. That said, I also think that nobody wants to be the
- 28:41poster child of the new fen fen. So I think everybody's waiting to see
- 28:45how this goes before they're like, but it's lying, but you're straight up
- 28:49lying. But you're But if you were in the public and you were taking
- 28:55a controversial, controversial drug that you don't know what it is, I equate
- 28:59it to you all these celebrities that got behind FTX, that that cryptocurrency,
- 29:06not quite understanding it, and then the bottom fell out, and I think
- 29:10this is a new drug that we don't know what happens over the long run.
- 29:14Do you really want to be the person that's saying it's awesome, I'm
- 29:18losing all this weight and then come to find out in two years like your
- 29:22heart. No, But I completely agree. But there's a way to say
- 29:25it and not lie, because then it takes away from people who are losing
- 29:29weight naturally. AKA, I don't I don't think Kyle actually took it,
- 29:33and and she's kind of becoming the poster child for it, and she's saying
- 29:37I didn't take it. I don't take those on back. And yet you
- 29:41know, then you've got Erica who probably took some form of it and is
- 29:45saying she didn't take it. So then it makes them both look like liars.
- 29:49I mean, Kyle looks like a liar too, So there's a way
- 29:52to say, I yeah, of course they don't want to be the poster
- 29:55child that we can agree on. But they could say, you know what,
- 29:59what I done, what I did to lose weight might be controversial.
- 30:03So I'm just going to keep that to myself, you know. So then
- 30:06you have your answer and they're not standing by it. And in the end,
- 30:08I mean, we're gonna find out if they're gonna have health problems or
- 30:11not. Because I'm watching the Kans like a hawk. Oh my god,
- 30:17it's like but I I also am, like, you know what, I
- 30:19have my whole life struggled with weight. If there's an easier way, god
- 30:23bless I want that. I don't care. I like the idea that it's
- 30:26cheating. It's like, well, my brain, it's beating to lie about
- 30:34it. It's cheating if you lie about it. That's how I feel,
- 30:37because you're making it look like you did this on your own. With self
- 30:41control, exercise and healthy living, and it's bulls right. And that's where
- 30:45I don't like that. You know, if you are gonna present yourself as
- 30:48somebody who is an aspirational looking figure, then tell us and don't lie to
- 30:55us that we start thinking, oh I should be looking like that. Oh
- 30:57it just happened during menopause. You know it's it's not true. I agree
- 31:02with that. I like your line. Let's give the line again that you
- 31:04said, I it's not means for weight glass were possibly controversial. Let's talk
- 31:11about it later or in a couple of years. It's kind of a tricky
- 31:15situation. So you were either gonna say like you're gonna be a Margaret and
- 31:18uh and say yeah, you know, I get my face and I get
- 31:21a little face, a little face, and I told him taking out,
- 31:23they took us epic. I'm doing this. They're doing that like glue tad.
- 31:26It's like I just did it all. Like you're either gonna just own
- 31:32up to it or and that's a Jersey thing to do, or you're gonna
- 31:36be Beverly Hills, where you know you hide out, you show up a
- 31:41new face on everything, and then you pretend like nothing happened, right,
- 31:45and and so do you owe us? Do you owe us an explanation?
- 31:48That's the question. Absolutely not, it's your life. I agree, But
- 31:52when you are directly asked and you call it what it isn't, that's when
- 31:56I feel like you're full of shit, and then I don't trust you a
- 32:00housewife in general or the words they're following, because I think it's it's a
- 32:04slippery slope. You know what I'm saying. Anyway, it's an ongoing conversation.
- 32:09Let's keep going, let's get going to say, but to say menopause
- 32:15is what caused your weight loss can be very misleading. That was because every
- 32:22one on the planet was like, huh, well, Menopause boot Camp.
- 32:27It's a it's a book that my obguy n actually wrote. I had her
- 32:30on my show when I was doing Reality Checked. It's by Suzanne Gilbert Lenz,
- 32:37and uh, I was just reading in here the average weight gain during
- 32:40when a menopause can be up to ten pounds. It's so far I haven't
- 32:45seen anything necessarily about weight loss. So that being said, oh my god,
- 32:54we're so far in like we have to Sorry, No, I went
- 33:00on a fucking rampage. I might need to edit that Okay, well listen,
- 33:05why don't we, like, you know, segue into our recap.
- 33:09What are we doing today? What are we see we're doing? Oh see
- 33:13that's right. Oh my god, haaba duh okay, baba duh indeed haba
- 33:22dah okay. So well, first of all, since we didn't get to
- 33:24talk about last week, but I just have to talk about Parry's party,
- 33:28you know aka Emily's party at Perry's house her, yes, And then I
- 33:31have to talk about nose hair removal. But go ahead, yes, thank
- 33:36you, thank you. I mean, we know that Shane is an as
- 33:38man after this episode, really know about that. Also, Darling's do not
- 33:43get your nose hairs wax. No. Nose hair is like a critical post,
- 33:46like it protects your lungs. It's it's there to capture all the bacteria
- 33:52that you breathe in. Mark my words, Shane probably got COVID right after
- 33:58that, probably or like just just environmental spores. Oh my god. So
- 34:06don't do it. Trim if you must, but do not wax. Do
- 34:09not wask wax You're gonna get sick. Yeah, anyway, go ahead,
- 34:15the party of service announcement, Perry's party. So camera brought Heather a mean
- 34:27to this party, so we got to see Heather for the first time really
- 34:30calling out Jen and basically like the dick pic wasn't for you. You played
- 34:37dumb, Jen, and when he cheated on you, you had zero reaction.
- 34:42Where are your feelings? And yeah, yeah, I mean, but
- 34:49Jen is off off the group chat, being very emotional about the cheating to
- 34:54the camera when she does her confessional, but when she's in the group she's
- 34:59like a stone face. I don't know, I don't know. It's like
- 35:01it's like looking at someone on too much xanax. That's what it's like.
- 35:06It's very strange. Yes, yeah, and at that point that's what I
- 35:09hear Heather saying. I hear Heather saying you're taking too many What was that?
- 35:15Yeah, I forget, but there was some reference to that. And
- 35:22but the more I think about it, that it's like that blank stare into
- 35:24the abyss of a conversation and it's like the lights are on kind of thing.
- 35:30Yeah, she slightly engages, but not totally. But then when she's
- 35:36talking, like in her confessional, she'll weep and all that. So I
- 35:40don't know how she gets there because to me, it does look like she's,
- 35:45you know, over medicated in some way allegedly to me. And I
- 35:50don't mean to in a terrible way, because I think it's great if you
- 35:53need, you know, medication, I take my medication. But when it
- 35:58comes to the point where it's so oh, it's just taking away from all
- 36:01of your feelings and emotions, that's when it gets a little bit scary.
- 36:05And I don't know if that's something that Heather was saying, but it sounded
- 36:07like that. So and then she was like, I had to separate myself
- 36:12from you because I couldn't co sign what he's doing. So she knows what's
- 36:15up. The dick pic was not for Jen and this whole thing about him
- 36:19cheating and they're calling it like we were on a break. I mean,
- 36:22it's he just straight up cheated on her and that's that. And she's like
- 36:27excusing it and explaining it away by saying, we didn't know where we were
- 36:31at that point. Well, it feels like that was a retrofitted thing that
- 36:37Ryan orchestrated, Like yeah, he told her that he wasn't sure how he
- 36:44was feeling if he said that or if he lightly hinted at that and then
- 36:49he cheated on her. And then he's like, no, remember I said
- 36:52that like a couple of weeks ago. I said that we were like I
- 36:58wasn't sure, and she's like, oh, okay. I guess that's how
- 37:02relationships work, because I haven't been in one in like forever with anybody besides
- 37:08Will and so I again, I just think she's so naive and and I
- 37:15think it was it was in this episode. I think Tamra hit on it
- 37:19where she's like or maybe it was that episode with Hoather one of them said,
- 37:22you gave up everything. I know why you're protecting this, but just
- 37:28you know, you're being like taken advantage of. Yeah. I mean,
- 37:35one, look at that jean jacket with the animal print collar. You know,
- 37:39all of his clothes have writing on them, like like spray paint,
- 37:45like graphic art. It's bad. It's really bad. I mean, he
- 37:50is the quintessential like character, a poster man for cheating, like he's a
- 37:57player. You can't write this stuff. It's like, oh my god,
- 38:00here comes you know, Jen's new man. He's a player. He tries
- 38:02to hit on all married women. And then you know, if you're in
- 38:07the writer's room, you're like, Okay, let's describe on paper what this
- 38:09guy looks like. I mean, yeah, he remember in the Simpsons when
- 38:15there was like that really cool radical dog, that's what not saying, the
- 38:21one that was like the mascot. He had like the hat on backwards in
- 38:23the sunglasses. I'm going to look it up because Simpson's cool dog. I
- 38:31see a picture. Please hold it up to the camera when you get it,
- 38:35because I need to do what the YouTubers do. Oh my, that's
- 38:39him. That's him, Pooci Poucie the dog. He would wear like a
- 38:45hat on backwards and like loud shirts and he would come in on a skateboard
- 38:51like that's Ryan Poochie the Dog. Yeah, Poochie. M hm. Well
- 38:58well anyway, it's it's it's a done deal. She knows that he cheated,
- 39:01but she's just letting it slide and she's just hoping for the future.
- 39:06And did you did you have any So I had a moment. I know
- 39:13we'll get there, but I guess we'll just jump around for a sec.
- 39:15But I had a moment when they were all in the boat at the end
- 39:19of this last episode with Shannon and John and Tamarinetti. So I had a
- 39:24moment where I kind of thought, like, all right, I can see
- 39:29where maybe this was too much pressure on Ryan. This woman's leaving her whole
- 39:31family for him kind of thing or moving because they said it was too much.
- 39:37Yeah, yeah, so I can see where that might have been a
- 39:39lot for him to be the source of. And maybe he did. I
- 39:46for a second, I felt a little bit of empathy for him. I'm
- 39:51like, but yeah, not enough to like like the guy, just enough
- 39:54to be like, Oh, I guess that is a lot. And not
- 39:57only that, You're You've got this gal that's leaving everybody and well bringing them
- 40:04with her. I should say, it's not like she abandoned them. She
- 40:06brought them with her and she's going to jump ship to be with him and
- 40:10on television. But yeah, there's a lot going on there, right.
- 40:15I wonder if I've that that break like they run break for five weeks or
- 40:21something like that, If that was that wasn't during filming though, so it
- 40:24was pre filming. But maybe he the thing is that for him to advert
- 40:30Yes, I wonder if if he got back together committed to her when she
- 40:36booked houswise, Oh, I would like to know that. M Yeah,
- 40:42well that would pan out, that would make sense, Yeah would yeah,
- 40:45you know, because for him to be like, oh this is too much,
- 40:50sir, that's your whole plan is to hit on married women, like
- 40:53you got yourself into this. So if anything, he was trying to sabotage
- 40:59what he did by cheating on her to get out of it, meaning this
- 41:01is too much, I'm gonna get out of this, so I'm gonna cheat.
- 41:05But you do like he this is what he does. Yes, yes,
- 41:09And I will say that his apology to Eddie was the best worst apology
- 41:15I've ever heard. I couldn't believe that. He was like, I owe
- 41:21you an apology. I'm hurt and betrayed by you. I'm like, wait,
- 41:24where did it go? Did I did I miss this? There was
- 41:28no apology. There was nothing he was sorry about, right. He basically
- 41:32just said I need to apologize just so he could get the floor. And
- 41:37then yeah, it was just like a player, Yeah, but a player.
- 41:43Oh he's good in terms of like if you've never been around another person
- 41:45in your life, he's good. He's so bad, it's good. That's
- 41:50that's what it is. Like he is Oh my god. I mean,
- 41:54you can judge a book by its cover. In his situation, he just
- 41:58you know, it's like you know what you're gonna get you open it up.
- 42:00There's just it's just melted cheese and betrayal. Wasn't he just on watch
- 42:05what happens in the audience was at him? Maybe he like totally was like
- 42:08all right, you douchebag. Yes, he was like trying to He was
- 42:13like wearing something crazy. He was promoting something right, well, he has
- 42:19his uh wait what was it? Oh? Yeah, he had like a
- 42:22T shirt that oh right, was it about like a dick pic or something?
- 42:27Yeah? Yeah, I think he I think he thought he was gonna
- 42:30like really make some money on this. Yes. Yeah. It was in
- 42:35the same vein as Ralph Ralph's aprons. Yeah, totally. Boy, those
- 42:39two they should start a podcast. Actually, I would listen be like wow,
- 42:46people go through the world thinking like this, this is fascinating. Yeah,
- 42:51we could learn a thing or two. Yeah. So he opens it
- 42:53up by like you said, that's a great way to put it. He
- 42:55wants the floor, and then Eddie has his little cross examination. Your honor
- 43:02may approach the bench. I was told you go after married women and then
- 43:07to find out you are with Jen? Is is it true? Did you
- 43:10cheat on your wife? And then Ryan's like I did. I did multiple
- 43:14times, multiple times. And then and he's like, so that makes you
- 43:17a cheater? Would you say that makes you a cheater? And then he's
- 43:21like, oh, and you said that you were gonna, you know,
- 43:23f Tamera, and he's like, I did not. I did not,
- 43:27your honor, I did not say that. And then he's like, did
- 43:30you cheat on Jen? I mean it was literally like we're in core,
- 43:34like what am I watching her? And then he explains no, I said
- 43:37this was too much and there was five weeks of a break and then Ryan
- 43:40says he wants to get married. I mean, this guy is just a
- 43:44piece of work. That's why. Now I want to know. At what
- 43:47point did Jen confirm Housewives? Housewives? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes,
- 43:52because I bet you Ryan was done and then he just either subconscious or
- 44:00very calculated. I'm gonna go with the latter. It was like, let's
- 44:05work this out. Maybe I would love to know what his upbringing is.
- 44:09This would be a great question for the BISH therapist to break down. But
- 44:14like, you know, what makes someone a serial cheater or to have a
- 44:17reputation of where you you pursue married women. So like, what was your
- 44:23upbringing? Was your dad a cheater? Was your mom a cheater? Are
- 44:28you? Is it that your mom cheated on your dad? That's why you're
- 44:32that that this is why you're behaving this way because you want to. I
- 44:37don't I don't even know if it's that, if it's just more having something
- 44:42other people. He clearly is very materialistic. I mean, like and I
- 44:46think maybe it's just like having things that other people have and a validation that
- 44:52like, Okay, this person is good enough for them, now I'm gonna
- 44:54have it kind of thing. I don't know. There are so many reasons
- 44:58afraid of real commitment that he constantly sabotages by cheating. And yeah, I
- 45:05mean there's so much there that like his childhood must have been pretty messed up.
- 45:08I hate to say it, but I mean you don't get to that
- 45:10point with a you know, a normal childhood. That's just like pretty elementary
- 45:16stuff right there. And I also think if you cheat with a married person,
- 45:21you are also not going to have to deal with the commitment of it,
- 45:25Like you both are holding this great secret right, and there's also this
- 45:29crazy adrenaline with it. Like so in terms of like we're getting away with
- 45:35something, I am sure. Yeah, I would like to talk to his
- 45:39therapist too, not just bish therapists, but oh my god, and that
- 45:44what I thought they were going to counseling. And then when they went to
- 45:46the sound bath homeopathic. God, this is the thing. I'm telling you
- 45:52what the OC boy, they got it locked and loaded for some pookie shit.
- 46:00I was done. Run out of there. I And at first I
- 46:06was like, oh cool, they're not on board, and then they were
- 46:08very on board. Yeah she does, she charged. I don't know,
- 46:15but we're in the wrong business because I could do that and better I would,
- 46:20I way better. Oh it was awful. It was terrible. You
- 46:22could offer vocal sound bath in any of the house celebrities. Yes, I
- 46:31I I I I I I I'm already getting tired. Inwards. I'm not
- 46:39tired inward. I did love that they were on John Janssen's houseboat, as
- 46:46we shall call it from here on out, because you know, just every
- 46:51time I yeah, it does look like that. I mean it's very rectangular.
- 46:58The you know, it looks like that patio really looks you know,
- 47:02what's the right looking It looks like a deck, a boat deck, except
- 47:07for the concrete and grass. Well yeah, there's a lot of concrete.
- 47:09That boat would seem bat But and then we see Banks the dog, which
- 47:19I didn't know John had a dog, so that was that was familiar to
- 47:23me, But I don't know why that would have been. I just assume
- 47:25anytime Shannon's in a scene, there's dogs and maybe even new dogs, just
- 47:30dogs they just follow around. Is that a new dog? Like same with
- 47:34Kyle. There's always like there's people on the show that I don't even clock
- 47:37their animals because I'm like, there's more of them, I don't know them.
- 47:43That was so awkward when they all showed up. That was so awkward.
- 47:46And Shannon already seemed really toasty when she was standing at the counter,
- 47:52and I don't know when Ryan was kind of like, oh, you're all
- 47:54in like boat wear, and She's like, yeah, sure, yep,
- 47:59yep a nautical and look at you and the navy. Yep. Yeah,
- 48:07I'm just gonna show up. But when Tamra Tarmra does meet with Jen and
- 48:15she was it, yeah, is this when she asks her to come to
- 48:19yeah, when they were boxing and Tamra asks her to go on the boat
- 48:23or whatever, and she goes, oh no, maybe this was at lunch
- 48:28or something like, oh yeah. Then they made up. Tamra cries,
- 48:30and it's just so funny to me because she keeps going back and forth.
- 48:34She's like, I just said's been a bad place. With the fetinous closing,
- 48:37I'm like, how long can you draw this out? No, it
- 48:39always starts with cut fitness, and then the list changes. It's Eddie's grandmother,
- 48:45it's her dog, it's yeah, but prior to this, it was
- 48:52Simon, it was the divorce, it was her son. It's like she
- 48:55always starts her apology and then it goes into a list, and I'm always
- 49:00kind of like, no, you got to stop with this list because everybody's
- 49:05got shit. Tamera also, and she's so good at, you know,
- 49:07getting vulnerable in those moments where you really do believe her, and but it's
- 49:13like she's done this to Jen so many times, and it's kind of funny
- 49:16now because I'm like, yeah, hmm, I I love it that you're
- 49:21stirring it up, but you kind of just need to back off, like
- 49:23either, you know, keep it going until it sticks. But then at
- 49:28some point you can't just keep coming back and like crying and saying it because
- 49:30of cutfitness. But she does say it's all my fault. I'm sorry,
- 49:35and then she goes on to say I recommended that you and Ryan come on
- 49:38John's hospot with all of us, and well not a hotspoite. But and
- 49:45then Jen's like, oh you did, thank you so much, and it's
- 49:50like, oh my god, she's half asleep. She's got to cut back
- 49:52on. She gotta just can you get a pill cutter? Okay, Jen,
- 49:55get a pill cutter. But I still think she's more. She's a
- 50:00little bit more than other Jen did for OC. Okay doctor Jen? Yeah?
- 50:06Yeah? And Ryan Yeah so I oh yeah, she's bringing the drama.
- 50:10Their whole couple situation is the whole is the talk of the town apparently.
- 50:15Yeah, well we I know, like I think we're going in reverse.
- 50:20But when you said stir it up, I was like, we didn't
- 50:23even talk about whooping it up. Yeah, well, well you haven't gone
- 50:27there. We haven't gotten there. Some time. We're going to get there.
- 50:30But let's wrap up. Tarmra and you're VICKI today, I need to
- 50:35hear that was just a blessing. But anyway, so they make up and
- 50:40and Jen is a perfect target, you know, for Tarma to be,
- 50:45you know, to draw her in and make this all happen. But the
- 50:47language of like I recommended that you and Ryan come, and it's just like,
- 50:51did you write a letter of recommendation to Like production? You know,
- 50:54it just was funny, like you can shoot that's now because we're gonna exploit
- 51:01your situation even more, which believe me, I'm happy about. But it's
- 51:06just it's Jen's kind of collateral damage in this and I can't help but feel
- 51:12a little bit bad for her. But you reap what you saw. You're
- 51:15with this guy. He's a total player. You're on this show. What
- 51:19did you expect? It's just it's par for the course, and that is
- 51:22what it is, you know. And I also wonder if Heather was also
- 51:25being considered and then they went with Jen, like because it seems like Heather's
- 51:31right on the line of being on the show, and then it was Jen.
- 51:37Yeah, I think that, but she doesn't have the story. She's
- 51:40only an innocent bystander, you know, She's she is a way I just
- 51:45wonder if she went into I just wonder if casting was like, had some
- 51:51conversations and then they went with Jen. Yeah, and I'm like, I'm
- 51:54surprised that Heather's not a friend of Yeah, she kind of is this point,
- 52:00Like she's like in terms of brought up all the time. Yeah,
- 52:04she's brought up more than like Munetta in Atlanta. So like she should have
- 52:07been brought on that boat instead of the acting coach. Yes, oh my
- 52:12god, yes, because the thing I was most excited for at Emily Slipping
- 52:19Slide party was Heather Emily slip and slide party, that side party without with
- 52:25a strapless bathing suit. I mean, I'm I love it, but I'm
- 52:29just like, that's Emily, that's OC wives. They're like so OC I
- 52:32love it flying Oh my god, Tarama, that is just like her slipping
- 52:37down there with no shirt on was great. It was great. It was
- 52:40everything I need. And then Heather and Shannon in nineteen twenties ocean ware,
- 52:46they're swim costumes. I did like that. Emily said like, Heather looks
- 52:51like a whale trainer at sea on and then what did she say about Shannon?
- 52:58Oh god, he spanks. Yeah, she had her spanks on.
- 53:01It was so funny. They couldn't get past the middle of that slipping slide
- 53:06that was concerning. I was like, well, well you could if you
- 53:10weren't wearing a lot of clothes, but once your clothes got weighted down,
- 53:15Shannon and Heather were like stuck. It was two inches in. Thank god
- 53:20Emily got that new hip, because that would have been a real problem.
- 53:24The whole time. I was like no, no, no, no,
- 53:25no, no, Like every time she went on for a slide, I
- 53:30was like, come, and then they're all falling in the pool. I
- 53:32was like, ladies, you know, we're not like she got really hurt.
- 53:37She did that one fault. I was concerned, yes, and she
- 53:43did fake Shannon pissed, which I always am like, oh shit, oh,
- 53:45she's just like Shannon snon. She like threw something hard towel, Yeah,
- 53:53wet towel that needs to be run out. That's it, all right,
- 54:01Let's talk about Vicky. Let's talk about Vicky because she popped in last
- 54:05week and they had a trace Amga's lunch and I loved her entrance and that
- 54:13they had like the music of the music going ding ding ding ding ding.
- 54:15I had that in my notes too. I was like, oh my gosh,
- 54:19we're putting the theme music in her entrance. That was cute. That
- 54:22was a great way to make it more than just having a housewife come back.
- 54:28You know. Yes, it's a wonderful, respectful because in a lot
- 54:32of ways it's her music, Like she's the og. You gotta play the
- 54:37song. I mean mo, She's like, oh, that's my phone,
- 54:39it's my ring toe. Yeah, I'm working. Yeah, but he did
- 54:42his bitch sheds its ring the editor, We'll just keep it in. Yeah.
- 54:47The editors were on fire the last two episodes too, with like the
- 54:52drunk Emily grid of where she says we've all had a lot to drink,
- 54:57and then the whole screen filled up with scenes of Emily getting blasted and screaming
- 55:05she's great. But the Vicky thing too, uh was like they meet her,
- 55:10Tammer and Shannon really do go into a character together, like they oh
- 55:14Teresa megas thing. It's like it's not it's not authentic, no, but
- 55:21but it's okay, it's fine, it's okay. They know their roles,
- 55:24they know how to you know, they go on set, they know where
- 55:30their mark is and it's like action, you know, yeah, I like,
- 55:35yeah, I was just gonna say. Vicky like really was ready to
- 55:38play. And she got her own confessional too. That was nice. She
- 55:43was a great They used her perfectly coming back into this episode. She was
- 55:46firing on all cylinders. She's like, let's whip it up, and she
- 55:51was like, I loved how she said I wear crotchless patties. I wear
- 55:54that highs. Whatever it takes, we're all getting gold. I mean,
- 55:58she just is that where I thought that sentence was gonna go. I was
- 56:02like, we're all geting what I know it was. It was a statement
- 56:07and I love it. Uh So, then, but the scene really changes
- 56:12quickly when Tamra stirred up. Judge is like, do you believe the Heather
- 56:16would ever repeat anything you'd say to her? And Shannon, doubling down on
- 56:21believing in Heather, was like, oh yeah, oh yeah, she I
- 56:24believe she has a vault. She would never you know. And then TAM's
- 56:28like, I just cut finess, you know, just cutvenis. And then
- 56:32Shannon's like, oh, oh, oh, have you heard things? Don't
- 56:36don't don't don't don't say it, don't say it Tamra, don't, don't
- 56:38and then Vicky being like, if it's about, it's about, it's about,
- 56:43it's about, but we want to know what it is, what is
- 56:44it? What it's but to sound what's said, it's so great. Yeah,
- 56:51that was really intense. Oh and we got a little dish too from
- 56:54Vicky too because she's like, I don't talk to Gina or Emily and had
- 57:00there is she high? You know, she kind of like doesn't think much
- 57:04of me because I sell insurance kind of right, And I love that she
- 57:06brought her insurance into it. Yes, we're not gonna have a scene with
- 57:12VICKI if she doesn't bring up her insurance. Yes, But yeah, I
- 57:17thought it was really intense. She's Shannon was like, you can't do this
- 57:22to me right now. I'm miked and I'll tell you later. And then
- 57:23she goes over, how about this peep behind the curtain they're at the all
- 57:28the producers are having a nice drink over there on the and the dad.
- 57:31Yeah, I mean there was like I didn't I guess I don't know why
- 57:36I didn't put this together. But of course there would be there your camera
- 57:39crew, which will probably be we know, like three cameras and then like
- 57:45seven again, absolutely, yeah, that's crazy in terms of like the footprint.
- 57:52And then I immediately was like, I have a friend that worked on
- 57:57below Deck, and I've never asked her like how does that work? And
- 58:01now I really want to know, like how many people are on that boat
- 58:06when you're filming like below deck, which is a very small space when compared
- 58:09to like oc Ward. It seems like you just take over the floor of
- 58:12a restaurant. So I'm just so curious about, like how many people does
- 58:16it take to film one trace Omega's scene or one like Glenn looking for cookies
- 58:24in the kitchen. Well, I thought that was really an interesting breaking of
- 58:30the fourth wall and Shannon proclaiming that if this is what's being talked about,
- 58:37like she doesn't know what other scenes are being filmed, so I imagine she's
- 58:39imagining the worst case scenario. Heather's exposing her, you know, in her
- 58:44confessionals, Heather's talking about her and other scenes with Gina and Emily and Tamra,
- 58:49and her saying like, if this is what's being talked about, my
- 58:52relationship is over. This is on the air, and that she told Heather's
- 58:55something in confidence. So that is definitely just pointing if if Shannon did tell
- 59:01her something in confidence and now Heather's telling everybody and we don't know what it
- 59:05is that she said, are we going to find out? Well, yes,
- 59:08because they broke up. But also Shannon got in a fight with John's
- 59:13daughter at a bar recently. Do you remember reading Oh Okay? So I
- 59:21don't know what to make of this because I did hear that they were saying
- 59:25that, and that some another person that was there was like, she wasn't
- 59:30fighting, It was just Shannon like being Shannon, gesticulating her arms and just
- 59:35talking loudly. I don't know, Yeah, allegedly we don't have I don't
- 59:39know about that. I'm not sure, but she Shannon did. I think
- 59:45it asked to leave, ye, Shannon. But then I heard that it
- 59:47was the end of the night and they were just having people go home.
- 59:51So again I've heard both sides. What was also striking to me about them
- 59:57going over to the producer's table was how normal it seemed. So I'm like,
- 1:00:01does that happen a lot? Like because they're taking in the middle of
- 1:00:06a major scene if you think about it, Like, and Vicky was like
- 1:00:08yeah, was it about me something I said? Like she didn't care at
- 1:00:12all, Like she was like, yeah, this is normal. So I'm
- 1:00:14like, oh, I wonder if they sidebar often, like in the middle
- 1:00:16of something. I don't think they do, because the continuity would really be
- 1:00:21messed up, like all of a sudden, someone's away from the table.
- 1:00:23I don't I don't know. That's a good point. It did seem like
- 1:00:27a big deal, That's what it seemed like. Yeah, it did.
- 1:00:30And remember when sorry to cut you off. Remember when Denise Richards was yelled
- 1:00:35at by that producer and was like, stay in the scene, Denise,
- 1:00:37stay in the scene. Like, I think it is a really big deal
- 1:00:40for people to yell like you don't yell cut in the middle of a reality
- 1:00:44scene. And that's what Denise did not understand about filming is that you can't
- 1:00:47just stop a scene. It's completely inorganic and it doesn't work the same way.
- 1:00:52You can't just pick up where you left off. So I do think
- 1:00:54it is abnormal for that to happen, unless it's more of an emergency situation.
- 1:01:00Yeah. True. I feel like also that whatever it was Shannon in
- 1:01:08that moment, you could you could feel her register it and just be like,
- 1:01:12I'm gonna have to just deal with this fallout. And so that's when
- 1:01:15I'm also like, I don't think she's that. I think it's all right
- 1:01:19that her and John broke up, because it does seem like she was just
- 1:01:22kind of like, shit, this is gonna be hard to wanting to deal
- 1:01:25with. Okay, more tequila, it is what it is, Okay,
- 1:01:30Yeah, well Tamra being like, yes, just tell me I'm Emilien gin
- 1:01:36and that your relationship has shut And then vickis it, like why is she
- 1:01:39talking about your relationships? Also like again, I know I've said it a
- 1:01:49hundred times, I don't understand the capacity to drink that much. I have
- 1:01:54some I was so I felt ill for them the next day, like I
- 1:01:59was like, what happens in tomorrow? Especially, you know hearing Kyle now
- 1:02:06sober talk about like how she was always feeling like shit. The next day,
- 1:02:09I was like, thank you. And here I am earlier in this
- 1:02:13episode being like I don't need to know about a zempic. I don't need
- 1:02:15you know, this is stupid. Now I'm like, but how do you
- 1:02:17fucking drink? I need to know how do you handle this yeah, yeah,
- 1:02:25okay, okay, well let's see here. Oh we got to talk
- 1:02:30about Mark Cuban and uh fireside montage of her talking about fireside. Oh man.
- 1:02:40And they did a good job of it by like not completely like shitting
- 1:02:45on fireside, because I mean, it's Mark Cuban and this is a big
- 1:02:51deal. It's it's not just you know, you're not selling you know,
- 1:02:54candles. This is like a big platform with a big founder and and it
- 1:03:00is a you know, an interactive platform that's streaming, and then you also
- 1:03:07have other original content that's I couldn't understand that part of it, and that
- 1:03:12Heather's excited about like creating content that's scripted, and I'm interested to figure out
- 1:03:16what that is. But this was at the beginning, and I remember when
- 1:03:20she was promoting this, you know, in real time, and I was
- 1:03:22like, oh, this is interesting. I wonder what this is all about.
- 1:03:25And it does seem to be making a lot of strides forwards. So
- 1:03:30I don't think it's one of those apps that's going to be like, you
- 1:03:32know, won and done or completely fail. It does look like it it's
- 1:03:37a working platform, and it does seem like it's successful because I mean,
- 1:03:40here's the thing too. I did like that there was a female co founder
- 1:03:45when she was at the lunch at Fallon, you know, and she was
- 1:03:46like and Heather's like, I just really want this to work, and Foun
- 1:03:51was like, Oh, they're going to make it work. I was like,
- 1:03:52yes, bitch, what I think about. But it's a hard platform
- 1:03:59and I think a lot of people die on the rocks of those. So
- 1:04:02I don't know, we'll see. I mean, yeah, I just like
- 1:04:06there's so many like shared network concepts, and because streaming the ones that make
- 1:04:13it do so well, So I don't know, I can't imagine something that's
- 1:04:18currently like I don't think you can really start out and try to do original
- 1:04:23content. I think that's right. So I guess we'll just wait and see.
- 1:04:29But there have been a lot of a lot of companies that have tried
- 1:04:34so, and you, as a day trader, probably know a lot about
- 1:04:38this. Fireside is not public not public yet, right, Okay, Well,
- 1:04:44it was interesting to see Mark Cuban there. I mean, I do
- 1:04:46love a cool crossover. I mean, yes, that was for sure.
- 1:04:50Yeah, yeah, Heather being waving off the sixty sixty five million dollars sale
- 1:04:58of her house, Like yeah, yeah, yeah, that's great. But
- 1:05:00Terry and I taking this big news step, it is insane. I mean,
- 1:05:08so we find out that you know, uh well, they're going to
- 1:05:11get the Pieta tear, you know, and so Pieta Arry Pieda, Terry
- 1:05:16uh tiary debro. Now Heather saying like that house that they live in represents
- 1:05:25a job she doesn't want. I thought she was talking about like motherhood.
- 1:05:30At first, I was like what, But I think she meant like all
- 1:05:32of the the effort that goes into it, being a general manager of I
- 1:05:38never for a second thought she was talking about motherhood. Thought she was talking
- 1:05:42about managing that house. Oh okay, because because she keeps talking about her
- 1:05:45new career and new career and wanting to have something, you know, a
- 1:05:49new identity and get back in the game. And so I was like,
- 1:05:51oh my gosh, she doesn't want her old career, which is basically like
- 1:05:55a stay at home mom essentially. Although she's been on Housewives, she's been
- 1:05:58really she has been working this entire time. But yeah, so I was
- 1:06:03like, oh okay, I finally get up. But at first I was
- 1:06:05like what, I think, like the I mean I think we all fantasized
- 1:06:11about having just insane do brow mansions, But the reality is a Brow was
- 1:06:17a joke. Yes, I always okay, okay, I just want to
- 1:06:19make sure, isn't it. I forget when it started, but I used
- 1:06:26to say it all the time, and then you can just say it all
- 1:06:29the time. It was something that SOMEONEE of the wives said it, and
- 1:06:31I've let it go. Okay, that checks out. It was like it
- 1:06:36was it was from a different franchise. It was probably Ramona, No,
- 1:06:42probably, actually it might have been. It was like on some like watch
- 1:06:45what Happens. I don't remember, but she's like Brow anyway. But the
- 1:06:51reality is that's a lot of planning and maintenance, and so I could see
- 1:06:59her being like, I don't want to do this, like it takes like
- 1:07:01when they said four housekeepers and three landscapers or something like that, like somebody's
- 1:07:06got to schedule all that. So even but guess what now they got this
- 1:07:11cold call from Josh Altman to sell their house for sixty five million dollars.
- 1:07:15Yes, and now they've bought this new mansion in Beverly Hill. Oh yeah,
- 1:07:19yes, and that what do you think that's going to be. She's
- 1:07:23going to be not a general manager times a million, because she's going to
- 1:07:26be building and designing a whole new house. Again, You're absolutely right.
- 1:07:30So that to me is like why why, Well, I do think that
- 1:07:36she'll be thinking instead of the oc where that you know, that house is.
- 1:07:42Now she can think of things like entertaining, like for her career versus
- 1:07:48entertaining for like kids, right, and family stuff. Now it's more about
- 1:07:54the entertaining executives at Paramount. Not a good time to get back into the
- 1:08:00acting game, though, I'll tell you that the timing is a little off,
- 1:08:03so hopefully layer Side will be good for a while. So but yeah,
- 1:08:11okay, so yeah, that is wild. It was interesting to see
- 1:08:14them get emotional, and I did think it was sweet that like at the
- 1:08:15end of the day, the kids, you know, they go off and
- 1:08:18at the end of the day, it's like them again and it's like they're
- 1:08:21their own kids, are their own person and they carry on. You know.
- 1:08:26Yeah, that was a sweet moment in the powder living room, the
- 1:08:30bathroom whatever that is, right, And then also we had a kind of
- 1:08:35some sweet moments with Emily and Shane and them talking about dinner and going to
- 1:08:40the pumpkin patch, and that was not a sweet moment in the patch undermined
- 1:08:46when he was undermining her. So when they when he lost his nose hair,
- 1:08:51he lost his ability to be a supportive co parent. But uh no,
- 1:09:01they had a moment later when they were discussing, like I think,
- 1:09:05yeah, I don't know if they were at dinner. Yeah, they were
- 1:09:08talking about parenting at dinner and like figuring out, like, how can you
- 1:09:12support me in those moments and not, like you said, undermine me in
- 1:09:15front of the kids so that it doesn't look you know, you're taking away
- 1:09:16my power and we need to support each other. And he seemed agreeable in
- 1:09:20between the dad jokes. Yeah, I'd like him still obviously, but I
- 1:09:28did when I was so, like, even if I didn't like as a
- 1:09:31as a mother myself, even if I don't, I don't know, it's
- 1:09:40parents co parenting seems impossible to me as a non parent, and so the
- 1:09:45one thing I would not do is is like undermine the other parent in front
- 1:09:51of the kid. I mean that to me seems like parenting one oh one.
- 1:09:55But maybe that it's hard. It's hard to not do sometimes when you
- 1:09:59have vast le different opinions about something. Yeah, you know it is really
- 1:10:02I've been in that situation many times where you know, Brett has an opinion
- 1:10:08about something and he'll say something to Maddie and I'll be like, well,
- 1:10:13but if she does this, then that's okay because this is what's happening.
- 1:10:16And it's very difficult for me to bite my to so a lot of times
- 1:10:21I do have to bite my tongue and he needs to bite his tongue too
- 1:10:26sometimes with me because we will overstep and be like, well, she shouldn't
- 1:10:30do that because of this, or but that's bad because you know so And
- 1:10:33in their situation with what came up about how she said if you don't if
- 1:10:39you're dressed in a costume, the scarecrow won't kill you. So and the
- 1:10:45kid, that was shocking thing to hear because you're like, what the fuck
- 1:10:48is happening at school? What are you guys talking about? So you're gonna
- 1:10:53have that knee jerk reaction as I completely got her side and his side because
- 1:10:58I'd be like, wait, wait, who's that to you? Like who's
- 1:11:00yeah, you know, first of all, who's saying this? Because I'm
- 1:11:03not going to have any playdates with that person anymore, because I don't want
- 1:11:05them filling your head with nonsense. And that's not true because you know,
- 1:11:11are they up at night? Are they worried? Because I want to protect
- 1:11:13them from thinking like a scarecrow is going to kill them? Right, And
- 1:11:15then then I understood Shane's thing too, like don't attack them and make them
- 1:11:20feel even freaked out, Just gently be like, you know what that's that's
- 1:11:25just I don't know where you've heard that, but that is absolutely not true.
- 1:11:28You don't have a lighter hand with it. So I totally saw the
- 1:11:31struggle there, and it's those little things that add up where you're like,
- 1:11:35okay, even in that moment, you kind of do have to step back
- 1:11:39as a parent and let them kind of handle it. If if someone gets
- 1:11:42in there before you, and then maybe later talk it through. It's tough.
- 1:11:46It's tough, and you don't mean to undermine, but it does absolutely
- 1:11:50happen because you're gonna have two totally different opinions, you know, Brett,
- 1:11:54I felt like, and this might have been just the way it was filmed
- 1:11:57too, it just felt like back to back to back to back, So
- 1:12:00in watching it, edited that way. It's like, does Shane ever just
- 1:12:05let Emily? Yeah parent right, but obviously like it's edited. So but
- 1:12:14I mean he got driving, but he does. He's got to shut his
- 1:12:16mouth and stop doing that. I completely agree because it does take your power
- 1:12:20away, you know, it absolutely does. And like, for example,
- 1:12:25when Brett, he'll give Maddie like two cookies for dessert or or say two
- 1:12:30of this or three of that, and I'll be like two cookies, No,
- 1:12:35she can have one. I'm like one cookie is fine, Like you
- 1:12:38don't need two cookies. And so I've done that where I've said that in
- 1:12:42front of her and then and that kind of undermines him completely. So now
- 1:12:46I don't do that anymore. So if he does do something that in terms
- 1:12:49of you know, food or you know, something with her diet in terms
- 1:12:55of like hell, because I'm more of a healthy parent, like just like
- 1:12:58give her some protein alone with like the the goldfish or whatever, because she's
- 1:13:01gonna crash. He doesn't have this, and give her some cheese with that.
- 1:13:04So I'll have to say something on the side. I'll be like,
- 1:13:08did you, like why are you giving your like three cookies? She's gonna
- 1:13:12go to bed soon. You're gonna get her hyped up and then you're gonna
- 1:13:14be frustrated. She's not gonna go to sleep, so I'll have to,
- 1:13:15you know, take that up with him later whatever. So, and that's
- 1:13:19different. That's not in front of but I have done it in front of
- 1:13:23I have done it in front of Maddie. So I've learned. Yes,
- 1:13:29I've got take this child away from Amy, I know. And it is
- 1:13:32kind of funny too, because like Maddie now, she knows how to throw
- 1:13:35both of us under the bus. So she'll say, oh, fudge,
- 1:13:41Oh, I just racked my knee against the desk. Oh no, so
- 1:13:45okay. So then she'll be like to me, she'll say later she'll be
- 1:13:47like, mommy, Daddy gave me three cookies tonight. That's not healthy.
- 1:13:54What is she doing? I know, I think she thinks it's funny and
- 1:13:59we all laugh. It is funny, I mean, it is. It
- 1:14:00ends up being very funny. But I'm like, oh boy, you know,
- 1:14:04but it is one of those things where I'm like, Brett, she's
- 1:14:06not an adult, you know what I'm saying, Like, when it comes
- 1:14:10to she's not you or me, like she's a child. She doesn't need
- 1:14:13the portion size that we have. And she's gonna be going to bed soon.
- 1:14:16You're gonna get her amped up and then she'd be laying there going like
- 1:14:18I'm gonna sleep. I wonder why so yea. Anyway, that being said,
- 1:14:24I'm all for dessert darlings, So don't you know, get it twisted.
- 1:14:29But like, okay, we're gonna get into the whole thing. Moving
- 1:14:32on. I about Emily and how like going to have these family outings was
- 1:14:40so important her because she didn't have them when she was younger. And I
- 1:14:42thought that was really beautiful and certainly very emotional, and I get that,
- 1:14:46and I like that she shares this type of stuff with us. It's it's
- 1:14:50quite the story. Yeah, I really like Emily. I do too.
- 1:14:56Yeah, And we found out that Shane is an ass man, which you
- 1:15:00know, good for him, God bless good for him, I mean,
- 1:15:03But also like I do love how honest Shane is, like how brutal he
- 1:15:11is and his like I don't I could never be married to him, but
- 1:15:15like he just doesn't really have a filter with her, but she seems okay
- 1:15:19with it because they seem to like really laugh a lot. Yeah, just
- 1:15:24like I know, okay, buddy, it just goes off and again,
- 1:15:30there is another episode where I'm like, I love that little Annabelle. Oh.
- 1:15:34I know, like that's one of the only families that I'm like,
- 1:15:38oh cool a family scene. I know, I do like their face and
- 1:15:42it makes it nice because that's really like with Real Housewives, you like to
- 1:15:45see the kids and the family dynamic, and I don't. I don't,
- 1:15:48but I like that family, Okay, as long as it's interesting. It's
- 1:15:54interesting. It's always very watered down and oftentimes feels a little forced and the
- 1:16:00kids are on you know, like kind of thing. It just doesn't feel
- 1:16:04as natural as other things in the show. So I often am like,
- 1:16:10okay, let's get through this. Yeah, Or they don't want to be
- 1:16:13or they're like teens and they're like trying to be cool and not speaking and
- 1:16:17just kind of like yeah, okay, I got it. Yeah. It's
- 1:16:21like I don't want to see this either, buddy. It's so awkward that
- 1:16:25you just don't want to be a part of it. Yeah. Yeah,
- 1:16:27we haven't really seen Gina's blending family in a little while. Oh yeah,
- 1:16:31that's true. You know, like you have been seeing her a lot,
- 1:16:34and we see that Gina is now becoming a real estate agent and she's ready
- 1:16:40to take the test and she does that mock showing of the house. Oh
- 1:16:45and then Gina and Jen go shopping and they're kind of bonding about their lives
- 1:16:50and about how they're hustling at that point in their lives. And Gina is,
- 1:16:55you know, her language is definitely extreme because she's in her confassion.
- 1:17:01She's like, regardless of my issues of how he'r meybe gi em follow that,
- 1:17:09we heavy yemmy on it's happening. Yeah, that's that's our Gina.
- 1:17:20You're not by her. No, we're not You're not ready. We're not
- 1:17:25ready. No, what else? Is there anything else you want to talk
- 1:17:28about? I mean I think I think that that's kind of I'm going in
- 1:17:34reverse. Oh oh you know what seeing Kennedy. Oh my god, Oh
- 1:17:40my god. Yes, I didn't write it down. I mean, that's
- 1:17:44that was like kind of I mean, of course, you know, these
- 1:17:45kids get older, but I'm like, whoa, Okay, that's crazy because
- 1:17:50she was so such a big part of my memory of Taylor's time on this
- 1:17:55show. And I yeah, but like to actually see her was really nice.
- 1:18:00Wild to have that flashback to that birthday party tea because it feels like
- 1:18:04yesterday. It just feels like a couple of years ago that that season was
- 1:18:09on. You're like, no, it was not. And then who else
- 1:18:13was in that scene that her friend? Taylor? Taylor's so Kennedy and like
- 1:18:18her friend. And then Jen brought her her son and I also thought was
- 1:18:23a late teen and turns out he's in my eighth grade. And I'm like,
- 1:18:27oh, okay, right, he's gonna be Yeah, he's gonna be
- 1:18:32a handsome hot to trotter. Oh he's cute, very very cute. Yeah,
- 1:18:38that's right, we got to see them. Oh. Speaking of Taylor,
- 1:18:41when Heather was talking about Fireside and in that montage, Taylor was more
- 1:18:44like, it's more like Masterpiece Theater. Like she haven't watched Masterpiece Theater.
- 1:18:51Like that doesn't even make anything. It doesn't make any sense at all.
- 1:18:58Oh, Like I mean, and if it's scripted, I guess it could
- 1:19:01be like Masterpiece Theater. You never know. Oh my god, kill kill
- 1:19:06me. Yeah, I'm I'm so glad they left that in. Yeah,
- 1:19:12there's so many like the producers when she said that it'd be giving like such
- 1:19:15side on to each other, like what the hell, what does Taylor ever
- 1:19:19mean? Oh god, when they are all coming around Heather, the other
- 1:19:25Heather and Jen talking at like at Perry's party, you know, and they
- 1:19:30were like, well do we go over there? And when it's happening girls,
- 1:19:33and then they all kind of then Taylor kind of sticks and she's like,
- 1:19:36I think you too should have a conversation. And it's like they all
- 1:19:41were, you know, coming around them trying to get in there, and
- 1:19:44I'm like that was so awkward. That was edited again so great because you
- 1:19:48watch the girls seeing how they could insert themselves. Yes, yes, they
- 1:19:53all kind of Initially you saw them really laying down a reason why they need
- 1:19:57to be there, and it was like cut cut, and and then all
- 1:20:00of them were there surrounding and just totally dominating the drama to the point where
- 1:20:06they had to like move to another location. Like it was just so great.
- 1:20:12Yeah, it was really you know, bugs to a light. I
- 1:20:14mean it just they just got over there. This is my party. I
- 1:20:18better get in here girls. Oh my god. Yeah, Well it was
- 1:20:24a good episode. Vickie coming back and everything was really fun. Yeah,
- 1:20:27I'd like both of Yeah, I like where oc is right now, you
- 1:20:31too, I did see where Ronie's ratings were down. But I'm also like,
- 1:20:38I never watched these shows on Bravo, So now I'm like, if
- 1:20:42I don't watch them on Bravo, do I not count because I only watch
- 1:20:45Peacock? I know, I think you brought that up about you know,
- 1:20:48how is that going to affect Bravo's ratings with everything airing on Peacock the next
- 1:20:51day, because it's and with the uncut things that people are going to end
- 1:20:56up streaming it there there. Yeah, like Peacock, for example, I
- 1:21:00know that Tammer's mom is having such loud sex that she's gonna start using a
- 1:21:04ballgag. So my god, maybe it's best that I don't watch that.
- 1:21:13Maybe it's best, But it's because of her screaming amy. That's why she
- 1:21:18don't wear by. I got that. I got it. It's a red
- 1:21:21bullgag. So is it more like Masterpiece Theater girls? Yeah? I will
- 1:21:30say the cut scene, the never before seen scenes are worth it. They're
- 1:21:35always pretty good. Okay, yeah, great, and you get to see
- 1:21:41Shandon actually flip her finger instead of it getting blurred out, although they still
- 1:21:45beat things, which is weird. Oh really because because they didn't do that
- 1:21:53for vander Pump stuff. But anyway, I digress. You digressed, well,
- 1:21:59I digressed for an hour and a half. Emily. That's it for
