you know, I want an explosion at the end, you know, I
4:21
want a little more you know, sound effects before I really film the music
4:28
video. But yeah, if DJ James Kennedy can get up in there and

like do his business, that would be incredible. Oh yeah, and just
4:34
a drop beat at the end that goes straight into the vander Pump rules swell,
4:40
oh my god, all worlds colliding. That would be amazing. By
4:45
the way, when Arianna took the dance floor on Dancing with the Stars and
4:48
she killed it, as we all know, yes, did you think for
4:51
a second it was going to be like yeah, of course, Okay,
5:01
were you or were you not disappointed that it wasn't. I was disappointed.
5:06
I was too, because that is a great theme song. Hey, everybody,
5:13
my Life's Donna Deadly, Dina Deadly and mon Yeah, it's a great
5:20
theme song and whenever they pep it up, it's even better. Again,
5:28
if James Kennedy could have gotten his hands on that and made a remix for
5:31
Dancing with the Stars. We could have really had it. But you know,
5:34
as Captain Jason, whatever you do is going to have hurdles. I'm
5:38
having a hurdle right now. I know I can tell only the Tier three
5:42
can see what I'm dealing with. Tier two three, the ring light situation
5:48
over here and now I'm very well let from above, so that's how we're
5:51
going to do this. And and you're now shrunk like the camera just went

7:24
week, Deanna Chang and I are going to cover The Golden Bachelor. Oh
7:29
my, did it start yet? I know? I interested that it is
7:32
tonight, and followed by that will be The Bachelor in Paradise. I'm sorry,
7:40
Yeah, Bachelor in Paradise. But and I'm sure I'll watch it.
7:44
I just don't know if we'll be able to do like a full recap of
7:46
it because there's a lot of Thursday night television Southern Charm, Golden Bachelor,
7:50
and yeah, I say, I want Bravo to give us all the content,
7:55
and then The Bachelor's over there giving us all the content and I am
7:59
over whelmed, and I don't even start with it. I know, I
8:03
completely understand. That's why it's a bonus episode, because you really have to
8:07
push through it, you know what I'm saying, Like, Yeah, and
8:09
I've got cooking Kibbutz tonight, So I mean, I've got a lineup like
8:13
you wouldn't believe. I'm gonna be up all night, but I'm gonna love
8:16
it. I'm gonna take that Linguinian clam sauce, have half of it at
8:18
Dougs, go back home and have the other half while watching Golden Bachelor.
8:24
Fix you a plate on your way out and I love it. Oh my
8:28
god. How would they say that in Maryland about fixing a plate? We
8:35
had a barbecue and Terry was gonna be late, and I said, don't
8:39
even worry about it, because I'll just fix you a plate, hon because
8:43
Becky's coming and she can just bring it in, So it's no big deal.
8:48
A big wolf see so many layers, but the names that you always
8:54
choose are always the It's like you reach up on that top shelf and you
9:00
just grabbed those names you've got. Terry got Becky last time. I think
9:03
it was Pat I don't know, but the names are so on point.
9:07
Oh by all my friends and lovelies. Yes they are, Yes, they
9:13
are. My god, I just love a Marilyn accent. Okay, listen,
9:16
We've got some dish to serve up before we get into Orange County dish,
9:20
Oh my gosh, and some of it, you know, is actually
9:24
about Orange County. And then so, first of all, page six is
9:28
reporting that John Jansen has had a tough couple of weeks, you know.
9:31
I mean, first of all, we all know about Shannon Badoor, and
9:35
we all know about her arrest and being booked for a DUI and hit and
9:39
run. But just the other day, John Jansen's son Joe, was arrested
9:43
for felony vandalism in Newport Beach. So they're saying that the police received a
9:48
complaint of vandalism on September thirteenth at the intersection of Newport Place and dubb Street,
9:54
and upon further investigation, arrested Joe on Saturday at seven fifteen pm Pacific.
10:01
He was released from jail eleven thirty eight pm on a twenty thousand dollars
10:05
bail. If convicted, Joe faces up to three years in jail. The
10:09
Jansens didn't immediately return Page six's requests for comment, and it appears that the
10:16
incident. The twenty six year old filmed the incident and shared it on his
10:24
public Instagram account and captioned the video it's X drive devil emoji, hashtag cars,
10:33
hashtag FYP hashtag explore hashtag BMW hashtag police, hashtag viral hashtag trending hashtag
10:41
reels. Have you or anyone you know ever looked up hashtag reels like who's
10:50
you know the most generic? Today will be the day? Today will be
10:56
the day. It's a hashtag TikTok cashtag Instagram, like when people hashtag the
11:03
name of the social hashtag Instagram. It doesn't make sense, No, I
11:09
gues the idea of hashtag is that you can find things quickly. Yeah,
11:16
I just a couple of notes for the young man on how you're not concerned
11:24
about his reckless driving. But it appears that Joe okay, it says here.
11:31
Joe appeared to have another run in with the law on September sixth,
11:35
when he had a group of friends that were seemingly pulled over for drifting their
11:39
black BMW's. So you know, I don't know what the actual vandalism was
11:48
because it's not really saying, but he faces up to three years behind bars
11:52
if convicted. I mean that is intense. Yes, twenty thousand dollars bail.
11:58
Baby, Well, I know who they did call, and that's Jen
12:01
because she she does not have it, have it, She doesn't have it,
12:05
although I think she won it gambling, so I don't know. Yes
12:09
she did it, Bakara, Yeah, yeah, yeah she did. That
12:11
was in the end titles good and I'm glad we got that on the way.
12:13
We don't have to talk about in the recap. But yes, also,
12:16
like you know, here's the thing and no tea, no shade,
12:22
but like, it is very difficult to start a business. And this is
12:26
a perfect perfect example. Now she's got this yoga studio, she's got she
12:33
also has co, she has partners. They're not taking a salary right now.
12:39
I mean that's freaking hard. So like again, you know, and
12:43
this goes to all of the and I'm just talking about any business, any
12:48
business posted, any business posted, who works, anybody who works. It's
12:52
very difficult to launch something. And I know that this is she's putting all
12:54
of her chips in on the fact that she's getting all this exposure on Orange
12:58
County housewise. I mean, that's why she's essentially doing this. I mean,
13:01
that's her whole storyline has been about like standing on her own two feet
13:07
and all this stuff. She says she doesn't want to take any money for
13:09
the retainer from Ryan, but like, I mean, let the let the
13:15
Jean Jacket pay for it, you know what I'm saying. Let that Jean
13:18
jacket get it. He probably has it in some of those pockets. Just
13:22
like reach into those pockets and get it. Yeah, I mean, I
13:26
know we'll get to it, but I definitely have some thoughts. Okay,
13:30
I know, I'm really okay. So that's that's the John Jansen Sun thing,
13:33
and I wonder I'm guessing. Oh my god, Oh my god,
13:37
it just dawned on me. It just dawned on me. Hold on a
13:39
second, Hold on, is that Joe Joe really? That's Joe, that's
13:48
John Jenson's son. Oh my gosh, is that Joe? I really?
13:58
And I wonder if that's the sun that she had says when she's like Johnston
14:01
doesn't like me, you know, And I wonder if it's Joe. But
14:03
listen how nice and how sweet Shannon was to Joe. That Joe. She
14:09
wanted to say, Hi, Joe, really, he's getting pulled over on
14:13
the water for vandalizing. He should have hashtag rho C. Well, my
14:18
god, because she should have. Yeah, sorry, I keep cutting you
14:22
off. Oh my god. Oh no, no, you're fine. I'm
14:26
just thinking, like, uh, there's a lot of teen angs there,
14:31
but he's not a teen. But I mean that's what it feels like to
14:33
me, right, hashtagged I think twenty six did it? Say? Oh
14:37
shit? Oh am I wrong. I think I'm getting this confused. I
14:41
think I may just made that up. Wait, let me go back.
14:43
But also I was going to say he should have hashtagged is that Joe?
14:48
I would have found it in a jiffy and a jiffy. Yeah. I
14:56
did not connect that to a SoundBite. Mm hm. And I wonder if
15:01
he lives on John Jansen's houseboat, because I wonder if John Jansen lives on
15:07
the houseboat. Yeah, I don't know. Or maybe he was going so
15:13
fast that Shannon couldn't see him. Oh my god, this is like John
15:16
Janssen. I mean, look at hashtag reels real quick. Let's see if
15:20
okay, let's see. Let me Also, this is when you start to
15:24
say, am I the drama? Is it me? You know what I
15:28
mean? Like, yeah, John, who's the Who's the one thing that's
15:33
the same? Like what is the Oh? Yeah, right, I see
15:37
what you're saying. It's not you know what, it's not Shannon, it's
15:41
not Joe. It's John Jansen. I'm gonna go ahead and blame him.
15:43
Okay, that's what it is. I mean I think maybe Shannon needs to
15:48
take some responsibility around this time. No, okay, I'm kidding. No,
15:52
no, no, no, no, of course they all do.
15:54
They all do. We all do. And also on that note, Gina
15:56
Kirschenheider has there an article on people. But if you saw this on her
16:02
feed yesterday she by the way, she has a podcast, which I had
16:06
no idea, but she does. They all know, yes, they all
16:10
do. But I mean it's been around. I went over and I checked
16:12
it. I was like, oh, she she has she's a partner that
16:15
she has this podcast with. But so she took her own podcast, smart
16:21
smart. She didn't go over to Bethany's to speak out about the Shannon things.
16:25
She did herself good, Okay, I know you're happy about that.
16:29
I am because I'm biting my tongue because I know the podcast we're going to
16:33
talk about. Yes, Yes, So her co host Shane McNally basically said
16:44
that, you know, he led her into it, and she said,
16:47
you know, I know, well that'll people have been wondering what I have
16:49
to say. At first, I have to say I was kind of like
16:53
garma, and then I was like angry, and then I'm like it a
16:59
nice place yourself, like empathy. So was this whole like I mean,
17:04
I swear she's so entertaining, like she can never leave, she can never
17:10
leave. Now I love her. It's melodic, it's a song. So
17:15
she did speak out and she did say like yes. Of course, her
17:18
first instinct was to be like, well, thank god she didn't hurt herself
17:22
or anyone else. Yeah, but I appreciated the honesty that it was kind
17:26
of like hmm, you know, and then it like karma and then kind
17:32
of well, after all this, you know what you've done to me,
17:36
and now look where you are, And then to get down to the place
17:37
of like this is bad. I have compassion and I don't want to be
17:42
that person and I want to you know, have appropriate sympathy. Yeah,
17:47
full human response is what she had. Full human and I would say not
17:53
necessarily a housewife response, because the housewife response would have been nasty, nasty,
17:59
nasty, nasty, and and I'm glad she didn't take that road,
18:04
which is good. Yeah, so kudos to her. Yeah, I think
18:08
that was good. Okay, all right, we're all in agreement, So
18:14
write that down is a good for me, Thank you. Well, it's
18:18
just funny because she didn't have a housewife response, there's like nothing to talk
18:22
about, right, I know, right, this is what happens when people
18:26
respond appropriately and act accordingly and do the things that we would probably do as
18:32
regular people, and then we're left like, all right, So any who
18:38
In other news, all right, so Tom Sandoval has launched a podcast and
18:45
it's called Everybody Loves Tom? How dare you? How dare you? After
18:51
I've been pivoting and promoting Everybody Loves Povet since episode one of the Real Housewives
18:57
of New York, how dare you? You swoop in? And not only
19:02
that, but disrespect and I've been povident. It was right there, the
19:08
Queen of puns has. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Queen of Puns.
19:17
You got an owl hoot for that, so sad. I know it
19:22
was really sad. I couldn't get to the right like sound effect a time
19:26
about a cheetah roar. I don't know that's good. No, that makes
19:30
a lot of sense. Okay, you have no relationship with Sena. Are
19:33
you an idiot? Okay? So Tom's new podcast, the promotions are cringe
19:40
worthy, as we've all experienced. I don't need to discuss them. I
19:47
didn't even have it in me to send it to you, Emily, because
19:51
I was so because you knew how excited i'd be. Yeah, you know,
19:55
I love him. I love him. I think that. Okay,
20:00
I'm going to say this. I'll say two things that are semi positive.
20:04
Okay, Okay, I will say to your point earlier, it's very smart
20:11
for him to have a PODCASTEA because he obviously needs to get his message out
20:15
there, and Howie Mandel isn't always available, and so I do think that's
20:19
good. And the other thing is I will one thousand percent. I hate
20:23
to admit this, listen to Sandoval's podcast before I'd ever listened to Meredith and
20:29
her husband's podcast, I said, you don't want the bed. Wow,
20:40
those are some strong words. And I want to also say I will never
20:44
listen to either of them, but if I had to, if I got
20:47
into my head, I'd be like, put the stand of all episode on.
20:48
Do it? Yeah? Do it an hostage situation? Absolutely? I
20:52
completely agree. Well, we've already all listened to the clips from from the
20:59
what would you call the premiere episode from yesterday? I think I saw it
21:03
on Bravo by Gays you know I love them on Instagram, and the clip
21:08
was him essentially saying that he was supposed to film Winterhouse as we all knew,
21:15
and the production company, obviously Evolution, told him that if he didn't
21:22
film scenes with vander Pomp and Sena, you know, for vander Pump Rules,
21:30
then he couldn't do Winterhouse. You have no relationship with Shena. You
21:33
an idiot. So he agreed and filmed those scenes, and then Winterhouse was
21:40
like, I don't see the point now of you coming on Winterhouse. Ooh,
21:45
that's not fucking cool. I will say, I don't think that's cool.
21:51
No, I think I because he said they dangled the carrot Now,
21:55
it is a nasty little business, isn't it. It's a nasty little business.
21:59
But that I that goes I mean to Bethany's point. I just don't
22:03
think that these trade these people, right, and I don't know what the
22:07
agreements were there. Okay, also step back him late this. Yeah you're
22:12
really waking up. There might be another side to this. Let's just put
22:17
that out there. But I also don't find it that difficult to believe if
22:22
they did do that. But it's probably more like by the time he filmed
22:26
those scenes, Let's just put it from this perspective, by the time he
22:30
finally agreed to film those scenes, Winterhouse was probably already up and potentially running
22:36
production and they were like, well, you know, what is the point
22:38
now? And meanwhile, everybody hates you. We can't have you come over
22:42
here. Yes you could have I mean that is that's exactly that goes straight
22:47
to the point of reality TV. Like if nobody like if he's the odd
22:52
man out over there, that's hilarious. I mean not hilarious, but that's
22:55
great TV because he's just sitting in Luke's in glu all by himself, just
22:59
like, yeah, hey, dude, do you make the more maple syrup.
23:03
He's like, oh, let me try out, go to and tap
23:06
that tree for you, Sandeval, because Luke's going to be the only person
23:08
that's going to be his friend. And Luke's not even on the show.
23:11
He just showed up. He's built an igloo like outside of Winterhouse, just
23:15
my god, in the forest, just in case they drive by. I
23:22
also feel like we all love a late to the show. Addition, I
23:27
would have been smart to have Santoval. I can't imagine producers wouldn't be up
23:33
for that. He was like the hottest shit villain on Bravo and they didn't
23:40
want that. I wonder if they wouldn't come to his terms. Mmmm.
23:47
I think that they perhaps took a sign from the public, which is we
23:51
hate this person and we do not want him on Winterhouse. That another valid
23:56
point. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, these are the questions
24:00
we have. And oh, by the way, Kyle Chan was his co
24:03
host, you know, the jewelry designer. Yes, yeah, just so
24:07
interesting. Everybody knows. I don't know. The Other thing too, is
24:11
that like I re I was, I was able to refresh my uh disappointment
24:18
and rage for him recently when Raquel Rachel blocked him and then he's told a
24:26
paparazzi it was on TMC that she was thirsty, oh for blocking him,
24:33
Oh babes, she couldn't have done something less thirsty. Well, you know
24:40
what, Laala ripped her for that too, ripped her. I did not
24:45
know that. I know. I know because because they're saying. And it's
24:52
interesting because basically Lala was like, you're gonna do this, You're gonna put
24:56
this publicly out there, that you blocked him. Why didn't you come on
24:59
the show and speak for yourself instead of these sneaky social media bullshit, cowardly
25:06
responses. That's that's essentially what she was saying. Oh my god, I
25:10
couldn't disagree more. Yeah, I didn't. I didn't respect that response from
25:14
Lalla. I was actually really shocked because also like for her to block for
25:19
Rachel, to block Tom and not take a contract is the most protective thing
25:23
she could do for herself and not getting any financial reward for that if she
25:30
had taken a contract. She I mean, there's just so much wrong with
25:33
that, especially Lalla that got was in a very tumultuous relationship, Like I
25:40
don't understand. Calm down, Lala. Yeah, I don't know what that
25:45
was. Really, it was quite an intense reaction for I mean, as
25:49
we say, the punishment didn't fit the crime. But it's also I mean,
25:55
Rachel's just she's kind of thirsty too. I mean they all are,
25:59
but Rachel putting up on social media that she blocked Tom is the only like
26:04
way for her to communicate it all because she's burned her bridges with Bravo.
26:11
So I mean that's kind of like the only thing that she can do.
26:12
I mean, so really at this point, let her leave her alone,
26:17
you know, right? I agree. Anyway, I want to say that
26:22
the Writer's Strike has they are have come to an agreement, and I'm happy
26:27
for you, Emily, I'm happy for all my writer's friends. I'm happy
26:33
for potentially SAG because SAG after It has a meeting with the AMPTP on Monday,
26:37
October second. I am wearing my SAG after Strong T shirt today.
26:42
Nice. So I'm you know, this is promising and I'm really just I'm
26:48
hopeful. I'm really hopeful. And the rumors about that it would have last
26:52
until October, you know, way back when when we heard that you know,
26:56
they're every bit of true. But there were many times and I thought,
27:00
I don't know if this is ever going to end based on everything that
27:03
I was hearing and the selfishness and the greed, and so do you have
27:07
any thoughts on that, Emily as a writer? No, I mean,
27:12
I guess I'm just glad that in the time, okay, And I'm going
27:19
to strike, and I'm going to strike because people need to treat him nicer.
27:22
And I'm going to strike until people treat him nicer. No. I
27:27
was really, uh. I mean, I know it's not like the most
27:30
perfect thing ever, but I was happy to see what came through for everybody,
27:37
and and like, I really do hope Sech can wrap it up quick.
27:41
Me too, Me too, me too, We'll see, yes,
27:44
But I am also relieved that the w GA stuff wrapped prior to Dancing with
27:52
the Stars because I really didn't want Ariana to continue crossing the picket lines.
28:00
Are you kidding? No? She was, No, I know, but
28:03
are you But you're serious? Though? Yeah, because I honestly didn't realize
28:07
Dancing with the Stars was a WGA show. And yes I didn't either.
28:12
I didn't either, and so I was like, oh shit, and he
28:17
walked off once he realized that, which I thought that was a little late
28:22
to the game that his representation didn't. But I was like, oh,
28:25
man, Arianna is crossing the picket line every day, and I was such
28:30
I didn't even think about that because she's a reality star, so I didn't
28:33
even consider her doing anything wrong. It's still crossing the picket line. You
28:37
know, you still have to walk through these people and say we're going to
28:40
do this. And that's why, like, that's why I like go.
28:45
There's all these like go. There's always an entrance that you can go in
28:49
if you're not breaking the WGA or you're not crossing a picket line. But
28:53
the second that someone is union and goes through that and crosses, then the
28:57
picket line is allowed to picket. There's wild But but yeah, so she
29:03
was doing working on a struck show basically, well points taken off for Ariana.
29:11
Well, yeah, I get, and I guess like I'm taking him
29:15
from her, from her tango. I'm taking him right off that tango.
29:18
She's not getting at twenty one anymore. It's not down to a fifteen.
29:22
I mean, you really can't not she's the Taylor Swift of reality show star.
29:26
So you really can't you come after you for saying that Amy done,
29:30
don't care, don't give a shit. Bye. Wow, Amy's edgy,
29:37
edgy Amy. By the way, I had a frickin' dream about Dancing with
29:41
the Stars last night and that Matt Walsh. I was watching the like intro
29:47
of the show and Matt Walsh was on it and he was like doing his
29:49
dance and I was like, wait, I thought that he pulled back,
29:53
but then he went back because the they so did he go back? Of
29:57
course, so did he go back to Dance with the Stars? I'm sure
30:00
he did. It's it's back on. I mean, he did have a
30:04
contract, so he really only missed a couple of days of work. But
30:08
in my dream he had done the first dance, so I was like,
30:14
well, how did that work out? Anyway, It's weird. It's a
30:17
weird dream. And he really wasn't good and he was he had aged like
30:23
by fifteen years in my dream, and he just looked like an old man.
30:27
This is a weird. This is a weird segment. I'm sorry guys.
30:33
Anyway, Well, I am glad that you brought that up, and
30:37
I don't know. I have some feelings now and now I and Mauricio too,
30:42
because Kyle is a freaking actress, so fuck him. So my my
30:47
take on Mauricio was and Arianna Ariana le sat in the audience. Yes,
30:55
okay, nag, but she's but she's still sag. But it's not a
31:00
sag show maybe because it's a game show. Okay, So this is where
31:06
we're this is this is where it gets muddy, in a gray area right
31:08
where it's like, so, as an actor, that's still a struck show
31:15
because it's WJA. If we're standing strong with both unions. We're standing strong
31:18
with both unions. It's very confusing. I'm glad that we're coming to the
31:22
end because I could never wrap my head around certain things and this is exactly
31:26
one of them. Okay, but you were going to say something about Ariana,
31:30
she's there, Mauricio, Well, I in my mind, even though
31:33
it kept being a new headline like Arianna is doing Dancing of the Stars,
31:37
in my mind, I thought that was confirmed back in like April, and
31:41
so we kept seeing that headline as though that was fresh information. But so
31:48
I was kind of like, well, she did commit to this far before
31:52
these strikes, and that doesn't necessarily make it right. But I could see
31:56
her not having the team around her to like maybe explain the intricacies of this
32:04
whole thing, and then she could have definitely changed her mind. And again
32:08
I'm I don't know the entrance that she was going it like, it's so
32:14
weird, but I just don't know all those details. But Mariso signed up
32:17
I think after the strike started. But yes, and also, so okay,
32:25
what was I going to say? H shit, I lost my train
32:29
of thought. Hm, we're just gonna keep going. I can't think of
32:35
it. Oh, well, that's okay, that's okay. But anyway,
32:38
I'm glad the strike is, you know, coming to an end. I'm
32:44
thrilled about it. And you know, Ariana could have been a hero.
32:49
I remember what I was gonna say. Dancing with the Stars was supposed to
32:53
be streaming. It was not supposed to be on network. And the reason
32:59
why it was pushed network is because of the lack of content because of the
33:01
strike. So in part by showing up and then allowing it to you know,
33:08
they're broadcasting it on the network because of the strike. It sort of
33:14
is in a way going against and that's why blah blah blah. So it's
33:19
a tough situation. Regardless, she killed it. I'm very happy for her
33:23
and that's that. Yeah, so let's move on to our Orange County recap.
33:29
Ohb duh, Okay, it's the finale, And did you feel like
33:34
it delivered Emily as much as we saw in the promos? Like, did
33:37
you feel like it really went as far as we wanted it to go.
33:43
It was a very proper. It was a perfect finale in terms of if
33:52
this was an Olympic event. It hit all the marks that needed to on
33:57
the floor mat. And I love it because Heather's outfit it was perfect for
34:04
that floor mat exercise, you know what I mean, the tumbling. I
34:09
agree. You know what's interesting is last week's episode was so good that literally
34:14
that could have been the finale, you know, yes, while they were
34:16
still because they were still in Mexico. Yeah yeah, yeah, it's crazy,
34:22
like just got bad because we get we get them coming back with all
34:25
their aches and pains. And Shannon goes to that morning DJ Chiropractor Doctor Toom
34:32
and sidekick Easy Easy Squeezy Nights and Easy Weather on the Ones Eh, what
34:42
do you want to call me? They call me the doctor of anything.
34:45
Hey worked for his block of Toto coming up. Well, you know,
34:53
honestly, like I was so relieved to hear that they felt that they were
34:59
banged and they were trying to recover from this trip because they did so much.
35:05
I mean, like we watch them do like from obstacle course just to
35:08
jumping to scuba diving or like snorkeling or whatever what have you, And that
35:13
was a lot. So that bruise on Shannon's elbow was something else. Yeah,
35:19
And it just goes to show if you just relax into a situation,
35:23
your body will probably be okay. Like they always say, like you know,
35:30
when you're tensed up and you go into something like it, you know
35:35
you're far more likely to get hurt. And if that's not a picture of
35:39
exactly what can happen. And I do, just like Shannon, you're worried
35:44
if it's broken and you're going to your chiropractor, this is a problem.
35:47
Snap it back in place. I just I'll just get a home calonic a
35:52
tincture and he'll just crack it back where it needs to be. I love
35:58
that Emily is just like maybe Shannon loves b DSM. I don't know.
36:01
And then she was like, what is BDSM? And she goes, Big
36:06
Dick spanks Monkey. I'm like, that is so funny. I mean,
36:08
we can work on the M part, but Big Dick Spanks is like that
36:14
is life. It is so good. But it's like, Emily, there's
36:17
a whole like world of like, what did you think the book Fifty Shades
36:22
of Gray was about Big Dick's banks? How did she not know? Well?
36:25
What does it stand for? Actually? Bondage sexual? Uh no,
36:34
wait now now we're now basing on it b D it's bondage ba uh stado
36:40
massacus, look it up. I should actually know that, saying howd show
36:45
about it? Okay, well, let the acronym for bondage and discipline,
36:54
domination and submission. You know what, that's a lot to remember her.
37:00
Well, that is true. I'm not saying you have to know the what
37:04
the where the acronym is. But the vibe is not a Big Dick spanks
37:08
monkey, but please let it be. I love it so much. And
37:13
then I was like, and then I thought, does she means spank's SPA
37:16
and X. Yeah, she's saying a big dick spanks a monkey. Oh
37:21
oh okay, right spanking. Well, oh gosh, now I'm thrown up.
37:28
I just assumed she met like because Shannon always wears spanks, you know,
37:30
in fairness, I think they spelled it out on the screen. Okay,
37:34
I'd already forgot. Okay, fair enough. Well, Emily's still Emily's
37:39
like thinks that Heather called her a loser and not tam Rush as she's doubling
37:43
down on that. You know. It's it's basically we go from like place
37:47
to place with everyone talking about Heather except for Heather and Terry. But they're
37:52
at their rental and they moved out. Then they went to a hotel.
37:57
Then she went to Mexico, and then she was a tech by everyone.
38:00
And then they have this collot, this pick video collage. Yes, well
38:07
done, well done with the dog, Emily's dog, and then they just
38:15
zoom they like expanded. It's like, did I just see what I saw?
38:21
That was really I don't know. I felt a little uncomfortable, but
38:25
it was very funny. It was funny. I thought it was great because
38:29
the editors are clearly seeing what we're seeing, or they're editing it, so
38:31
we see it. But like we've said multiple times this season, yes,
38:37
this has been the entire season, I keep saying season, but it's all
38:42
been about how they're apologizing and making amends and trying to start over and seeing
38:50
where she messed up. And it's like it's been her. That's been the
38:53
entire season for her, and the editors have to have seen that, and
38:57
so I would assume at the reunion, hopefully some of these scals get that,
39:02
like, you all look like you are creating something out of thin air,
39:07
not that there is. I mean, I get it, she's a
39:10
bit of a stick in the mud whatever, but they make her ten times
39:15
worse. They are filling in gaps that don't need to be filled with Heather.
39:20
I think they wanted to make her give her a run for her money
39:24
this season in the sense that like, you are not going to skate by.
39:30
We're gonna hold your feet to the fire. It's not gonna be easy,
39:32
breezy dubro and you just get to tell your money story. I think
39:37
that, Tamra. I mean, I was proud of Heather at the end
39:44
in the sense that she was giving it back because she typically doesn't, you
39:47
know, and I think that's where Tamra is relentless, that she is seriously
39:54
the Mike Tyson of housewives. I mean, yes, I we've never seen
40:00
the likes of anyone like Tamra, and that is period dot. She is
40:06
a master at this, and I'm confused, Like I'm she spun circles around
40:12
me because I don't even know now what's happened here, because like now I'm
40:16
starting to think like Tamra was maybe saying, quoting quoting in the podcast what
40:23
Heather said, or like, I just seriously don't know what is going on
40:28
here. Tamra said on the pot what tamer said on the podcast when they
40:32
actually played the whole thing on the show the whole thing later, right,
40:37
I do think Tamor was joking. Yes, I don't think that Heather was
40:42
talking about them. I think this is a whole and I think Hea,
40:45
they're making called yeah and I think Hea, they're called Noela a loser,
40:49
And You're right, it is. It's just a big telephone game and it
40:52
is confusing as hell. And the fact that they can't really land somewhere is
40:57
what's kind of infuriating because it is pretty obvious, like no one's taking Heather
41:01
at her word nobody, which is so weird to me. It's like,
41:06
why, I think Heather's reservation or just her reserve demeanor, it really throws
41:14
them off when you couple that with her astounding wealth. I think that they
41:20
just don't trust that package. I know all my friends in Beverly Hills are
41:28
rich, more rich than Heather and could live in better have than Heather.
41:34
And yway, Taylor. Taylor's coming on to Shannon a lot, don't you
41:45
get that vibe? Yeah? Yeah? And then that ice cream cone And
41:50
first it's cotton candy. I love that she was cotton candy because you know
41:52
the drink thing or yeah, when she ate that cotton candy in Vegas all
41:55
those years ago, and now she deep throated a little ice cream cone and
42:00
she was giving us what she gave to the paparazzi just recently, you know,
42:07
just the drunk God. That was a journey. That was a journey
42:10
of Taylor going off. I mean, yeah, I uh, it was
42:15
very entertaining. But she had a journey with about Heather being like we were
42:22
gonna go salsa dancing and then you laughed us and my stepdaughter lives and tolone
42:28
and was waiting for us, and well, and then Heather being like I
42:32
slurped my soup and fell asleep, which should be a vocal exercise. But
42:38
then Taylor's like, well, when you laid down texting your friends, it's
42:45
like she passed out. I think you know what that's like, you're gonna
42:51
You're about to do it. But what did you make about that? I
42:57
know we're kind of zipping, you know, Bob and weaving here. What
43:00
did you make about Taylor and Jen being left alone in the room by Heather.
43:07
I mean, I think it's just kind of like, I don't know.
43:10
I was actually happy that Taylor's going to get some time. We've barely
43:14
seen Taylor this year in so anytime that we're going to hear from Taylor,
43:20
I'm enjoying it. It's a good time because I really there have been multiple
43:25
episodes in a row where Taylor has had half a line from the back of
43:30
the room, and I'm like, what was the point of Taylor? So
43:36
I need her to I mean, do you think she's going to be back?
43:40
Absolutely? Yes, Oh my god. Oh. I think she had
43:45
a great season. I think she had a fine season. I just don't
43:49
think that, you know, to all their points with Heather, I would
43:52
say Taylor it was actually guilty of the things that they put on Heather in
43:59
terms of slightly reserved, not maybe wanting to get too messy, trying to
44:06
edge in on a weird like take on something that felt manipulated in terms of
44:14
her not looking bad. That was kind of but Heather got I mean,
44:19
Heather does that too, but not as hard as Taylor was doing it.
44:22
And then the consequence was like, nobody's really hanging out with Taylor and she's
44:28
barely in the show. Well, I think Taylor played her cards right.
44:32
I think that she was authentic. I don't think she forced anything. I
44:37
think that she was there when needed and there wasn't a lot of room.
44:44
Sometimes that happens, you know, where there's just not a lot of room.
44:46
And I respect the fact that she didn't try to force something, And
44:51
so this leaves her poised to come back next season with like a lot,
44:57
you know, And so I see it more as a long game. And
45:00
had she had been maybe a first season housewife and we didn't know her,
45:05
maybe that would have been a different story. Yeah, you're right, Yeah,
45:07
but we know her, and I think that she didn't like I'm glad
45:12
she didn't really force it. And I also do think that she was genuinely
45:15
like feeling and Jen was to feeling the vibe that Heather was like, well,
45:19
I have no one, so I'm just going to go to YouTube.
45:22
It did seem that way, you know, And then yeah it did,
45:25
and I did like, uh in Mexico when Taylor came up and was kind
45:31
of like having a genuine moment with Heather and Heather it felt very real and
45:37
I was like, thank god Taylor was there. Yeah, I agree,
45:42
I agree, but she's not having it anymore with Heather. No, it's
45:45
over, it's done. But I know we're bouncing around. But when Heather
45:50
and Gina meet and Heather plays that to tease in a pod clip where Teddy
45:54
explains that she that Deamra was loudly yelling at her and saying we got to
45:59
go. I don't want to hang out with these losers when she and she
46:01
was talking about the cast, so that's all that she played. And then
46:06
Heather or at least that's what we saw on the show, and then Heather
46:08
says, that's us Tamer's calling us losers. And then Heather says, I'm
46:13
being attacked for things that I didn't do, and I don't trust Emily and
46:16
everyone, and Tamra's trying to systematically pull my relationships apart. That is that's
46:21
true? Yeah, I mean that's one hundred percent true. Wait wait Heather
46:28
said that, or Tamra said that about Heather said that Tamra is trying to
46:30
systematically pull our relations apart, And I mean, it's that's right all over
46:37
the place. But what was so funny is then Tamra said the same thing
46:39
about Heather later at the party. Yeah, look at her going around the
46:44
room trying to one by one and I'm like, that's see, that's what
46:47
I loved about it. I loved it. I like that we have these
46:51
two ogs that are going ahead toad, and I like that Heather was putting
46:54
in the work. You know, she had her sweeper and she was like,
46:59
clean it up, up, clean it up. After this, Tamra
47:01
messy, like Heather messy all this telephone, and she finally got Gina on
47:07
her side with that lunch or whatever, and Gina finally was on her side.
47:12
She managed to get Emily back into her good graces, and Tamra was
47:17
like kind of shaking in her boots because she was like, oh, I
47:21
thought that I was kind of you know, and I loved this. Now
47:24
the fact that Tamra started to call out Heather for throwing her under the bus
47:30
or saying all this stuff. You know, we didn't really get to the
47:36
meat of what Heather said about what Heather told Emily that Tamra said in Montana
47:42
that she's not a practicing attorney, she's a party planner. She hasn't been
47:45
to trial in how many years? She said that in that car, you
47:49
know, so, which was weird because a lot of lawyers don't go to
47:52
trial, Like that's you know what I mean, Like they do go to
47:57
trial, but I mean like you could not go to Part of your job
48:00
is to not go to trial if you can settle out. Yeah, that's
48:05
actually a really good point. I think her point being that she's just not
48:07
practicing, like right, but but it's a valid dig. It's a valid
48:15
dig for Emily to hear. And then Emily was kind of sort of pushed
48:21
it off, you know. She she was like, well, you said
48:22
this about me to Tamara and Tama's like, seriously, I did not say
48:27
that, and it's like, well, actually you did. And then she
48:29
goes over to Heather and then Heather just does a cat and mousing kind of
48:31
what Meredith was doing to Andy the other night and doesn't give her the time
48:36
of day. Yeah, that moment is coming for Tamara at the reunion,
48:42
I think, and Emily knows, like, was it Gina. I think
48:47
Gina was the one that said she had it perfectly, where like Tamara knows
48:52
ever has everything on everybody and she just waits. And so I sometimes think
49:00
when Tamar comes up against something like that, something that she said or dish
49:05
that she has and she's not ready to use it, she just denies it
49:08
exists. Because I did see somebody was on Twitter and they posted it.
49:16
It was like a person that had I don't know if it is a blogger
49:21
or something, and Tamar had DMed them and basically like a year or so
49:27
ago, I think, prior to filming or prior way before this episode aired,
49:30
about Eamily not being a lawyer. So clearly Tamra's going around saying this,
49:36
and I wonder if she has some kind of info that she's basing this
49:40
on, but I will hear about it at the reunion, I guess.
49:45
Oh. And the other thing is, twenty percent of the time, Tama's
49:49
just full of shit and she's operating on some bullshit and doesn't realize it or
49:52
does, but she's she spins and she you know, she's constantly like a
49:58
tornado running around doing all this stuff that she probably doesn't remember the ship that
50:04
comes out of her mouth, right, yeah, I mean the the I
50:07
mean, I think that Heather's point about the head cheer cheerleader coming back into
50:13
the group and now everybody wants to be friends of Tamra and stuff like that.
50:16
There's definitely something to it, and they want to be friends that they're
50:20
probably out of fear that she'll take them down. Totally. It is the
50:23
It is the perfect head cheerleader in terms of like what that you know,
50:31
Yes, I know, he's like, what movie is that, Heathers?
50:37
That was really funny. Yeah, it's like that the Queen of the mean
50:44
girls? Mm hmm, but also can be super fun you know what I
50:49
mean? Like, yeah, so that's that's you know, this is tough,
50:52
man, It is really tough, but it is such a great it's
50:55
a great show and to have Heather have tear does seem to really be going
51:00
after Heather so bad that it makes me wonder why, Like what is it?
51:07
Who else is she going to go after? Like she went after Jen
51:12
and that's kind of punching down yeah for Tamra, right right, So why
51:17
not go after the most high status and have a great time. Listen,
51:22
Heather should take it as a compliment because Tyson's not going to get in the
51:25
ring, which is anybody you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah,
51:29
And also, honestly, at the end of the day, I think it
51:30
hurts Heather's feelings when she's getting a concentrated dose of it in Mexico. But
51:36
I think she wraps filming and she's like, anyway, back to my life
51:40
doing what I love. I don't think she I don't think it's like I
51:45
feel like Shannon really lives with it and carries it her yes, but I
51:49
don't think Father gives two shits at the end of the day, which is
51:51
probably why that doesn't land well on the show and why people maybe don't find
51:58
her to be, you know, their favorite or they don't appreciate that because
52:02
they want that authenticity. They want her rocked to her core for rents on
52:08
her months. Yeah, you know, I want her to have fights that
52:13
paralyze her. That's all. That's all I'm asking for. I actually like
52:21
Heather because of that. I like that it's just it rolls off her shoulder.
52:24
I like that it's sometimes her. Oh. One of the never before
52:27
seen clips that was in this episode, there was one where Shannon and Tamara
52:35
are very hands on with Jen and that kolonic and I was like they were
52:38
in the bathroom, they were working it, like counting what was coming out.
52:45
It was a lot. But the other thing was that Heather said when
52:49
she was a kid, the joking triggers her because her family would laugh.
52:53
She was a sensitive kid and her family would like laugh when she would cry
52:57
at movies. And like, I think that she on a lot, and
53:00
we've seen her mom and so like, I think Heather was kind of vulnerable
53:05
about that in terms of like with Emily. Yeah, absolutely, And I
53:10
appreciate that too about howther because I don't want everyone to be the same.
53:15
Yeah, so right, well, god, I mean what did you think
53:20
about their costumes? Whose freak show party was that? Was that Tamra's or
53:22
was it genas Yes, Okay, I'm sorry, I don't know how I
53:28
I don't know. I thought it was Tamra's and then later on they were
53:30
like, good job. Gina was like, oh, I didn't know it
53:34
was your party, but I guess because she's a ringleader. Right. Well,
53:37
they were all dresses ring leaders, but there was like four or four
53:42
at all. Well Gina, Gina was the ringleader, right, and then
53:45
all the guys were ringleaders, right except for John was I guess he was?
53:52
Or was he a poker dealer? I didn't get it, but I
53:54
don't know what he was. I don't know, depending on the way the
53:57
wind blew. Shannon was ripping him a new as for that, I can
54:01
put it on. I know in the picture she's like, move it.
54:05
I thought you wanted it on. But I was gonna say, uh,
54:13
I know. I'm going to go back in time. But earlier in the
54:15
episode and also earlier in this podcast, when we were talking about Jenna Ryan,
54:20
and I thought, like when she said that she didn't know how much
54:27
money that she had and all that, and she was kind of putting it
54:30
on herself, all right, But also to that ex husband Will, it's
54:35
like, how do you not share that information with her? How do you
54:38
have control her? So she lives in the dark and has no idea of
54:43
while they were married, what kind of financial stability that she has or doesn't
54:47
like. To me, I was like, that's a huge knock on will
54:52
too. Oh yeah, I think, and I think a lot of men
54:54
are like that. Yeah, and so I did not like still to this
54:59
day, No, absolutely not. And we hear it all the time.
55:02
I mean, like Erica Jane, or like so many people who are ending
55:07
up in divorce, they always have this. I didn't pay attention to the
55:09
finances. I never took the time to look into it or ask or whatever.
55:14
So it's it's both like they like kind of not having to deal with
55:20
that because it's comfortable in the moment. And then also the husband, let
55:25
mean talk about that husband. The husband doesn't you know, share that that
55:30
isn't willingly allowing the wife to be a part of it, and that's a
55:35
problem, right that always backfires. Yeah, well, Jen does sort of
55:40
get her answer for the camera at least for us, that Ryan only slept
55:45
with this woman one time a year ago, and that's that. So you
55:51
know, we have closure on that I suppose, I guess you're not pulling
55:55
anybody. Oh you know what, I will say, I did love Tamra's
56:01
segment in there about being a business woman and that she thought that Cutfitness was
56:07
going to be, you know, this incredible business and she would you know,
56:12
retire from that. But it didn't go that way. And now that
56:14
makes more sense why she was so devastated. But to see the success of
56:17
Vena CBD is incredible and now she's going to be on this cover, the
56:22
cover of a Maar magazine and she's very proud, and you know, we
56:27
harken back to when her dad owned his own repair shop and she wanted to
56:30
have her own business. She didn't go to college and at eighteen she was
56:34
raising her own kid. So that was a nice I liked that. I
56:37
love that segment and I was proud for her. Yeah. Yeah, Like
56:42
that's the thing with Tama, Like there's a lot of good there. And
56:45
so I think as an audience, we go we it's either a thousand percent
56:53
on Tamra's side or absolutely zero, but like we always you know what I
56:59
mean, Like it's really hard to be in the middle on Tamera, but
57:02
we know enough of the good in her that I think we always wanted to
57:06
come back. I could be wrong on that, but that's how I know.
57:08
I agree. I totally agree. Yeah, well it was a great
57:14
it was a great finale. I'm excited for Taylor to come back next season.
57:17
I hope she does. They have that awkward family photo and uh,
57:24
you know, we didn't really get to the full bottom of everything, but
57:27
that's okay because now we can talk about it at the reunion. Yeah.
57:30
I think so. And I think we got to everything that we could have
57:34
possibly got everything organically at the party came up. Yeah, the orient yes,
57:39
yeah, so otherwise it wouldn't make sense. Good point. Good point,
57:46
