• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Uh, so we're back with Victoria and the real housewives
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of the Wives of Mormon WI all the wives. Now
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: you there was something you wanted. You wanted to talk
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: a little bit about Taylor, Frankie Paul not being charged.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I will. Mainly, I mean this is I'm like,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: I think this means we're going to get the bachelorette.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Because the concern was right about the charges being brought.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I wonder if this means we're going to get this.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: So I'm looking, I'm waiting for that announcement, is what
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I think it's coming next.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know, is there just still too much though
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: surrounding the fact that there is video of her throwing
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: chairs and hitting her kid in the head.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: That possibly the thing is though, like the that incident
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: has already has been dealt with, you know, And so
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I guess it depends. That's a good point on like
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: what the pr is on that. And then I mean again,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: one of the things definitely now we're talking about is
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the redemption story. There could be an opportunity, this really
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: could be a redemption for that. But I mean, technically
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: that incident was that's what she was serving approbation for,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: so I think or he still is. So you know,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: if you do the crime and you do the time,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: do we let how to let people move on?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You're an attorney, you tell me we.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Need to let people move on, But I don't know
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: that looks. You'll see the show and it'll be huge.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: It'll be huge ratings and a lot of money.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: For Hulu, and you know, and the other show though,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Real Housewives of Salt Lake, So Jen Shaw is out.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys talked about this one,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: but yeah, yeah, but she did a big interview with
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: People magazine and there's a big photo spread with.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Her and and and.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: And Shreef and her whole family. And now you've said
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: before that you think that Andy Cohne would never have
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: her back on Real Housewives.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: No, And I think that's why she had to do
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: the People route. I think I think because that she
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: went that route to do her coming out of prison
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: story because of a perfect example is Karen from Real
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Housewives Potomac. She had a very bad DUI incident last year.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: The whole thing's caught on camera. She says horrible things.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: She's really out of it, and her coming out of
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: when done the Herd time he did an interview. Andy
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Comen did an interview with Karen. And so they're very
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: different in my mind, and I'm not just how they
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: talk about it at to Bravo. They're different types of offense.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: You know, Karen hurt herself and that luckily her husband
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: wasn't hurt in that in that incident, and this is
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: her way to make herself look better. And I maintained
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: that like jen Shaw had like real like not real,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: but she had very specific victims that we can point
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: to and we're not just talking about her and it
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: would be purely for her own her own benefit to
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: get that. And so to me, the fact that people
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: did this and no one else would says what that says,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: that's to me that's probably making a statement about that.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's let's talk about your time here in Feltlake.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: You came to Salt Lake last Friday to be on
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a symposium, a panel at the Humanities Department up that
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: we are a Utah University of Utah and you were
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: on the invited to be on that panel. Talk about
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: your experience and what else you saw there.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was I'll say they put on a great event.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I posted pictures on my Instagram at Judge mpath if
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: you want to go check that out. You can see
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: they rid a lot of thought into the event. They
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: they made name tags you could put on, They had
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: a step and repeat. They brought wigs so you could
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: like go take pictures. They made these signs of different
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: quotable quotes from the housewives, and so yeah. So the
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: panel I was invited to be on was I would say,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: like the least academic ye a type of panel. And
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: so it was me and a gentleman from the Arts
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Council and then there was a professor and then a
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: student from Westminster and we were there to set the
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: stage for you know, the lens, the different lenses that
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: we bring to the Housewives, and so that was really interesting.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: And so we had some time to talk about and
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: one of the things they asked me about was by
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: living here in Chicago, because you know, they're in the
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Utah bubble, you know, what is it like outside? And
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: one of the stories I shared was that I was
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: at the gym one time and there was this woman
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: who had just gotten done with her workout. She's holding
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: her phone and she's trying to change, and she's watching
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the Greek tragedy episode of the Real Housewives of Saltlake
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: City and she can't put her phone down. She's trying
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: to change and navigate her walker and she cannot put
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: this phone down because she's so engaged. And then, and then,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: and then the Tribune published an article summarizing the event,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and it shares the other story that I shared again,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: someone seeing my bad mormonsterre and starting a conversation with
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: me about the show. And so it shows, you know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the interest in outside of Utah and non Mormons like
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: they're interest in it. So so that was great opportunity.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: And then I really appreciate all the fans and friends
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: of the program. I got to me it was so
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: neat to talk to you in person and to connect
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: not only over the radio from hell but also over
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the Housewives. It was it's just need to bring that together.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: And then the different panels. The article that Sha Means
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: wrote is great because it summarizes, it does a great
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: job cash to eat the different sessions to get a
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: sense of beagrit, reminder what happened, what happened. The thing
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I want to say that I think is the thing
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: that no one else would say, but Victoria will say
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: those things. Was there was a presenter who was supposed
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: to talk about the fashion of the Real Housewives, and
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I think she I forgot her her biography and if
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: you'll look at the agenda, you can go look her up.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: But one of my one of my complaints is she
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: has a true disdain for the housewives. You could see
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: like how much she did not like these women. She
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: thought they were ridiculous, and she was analyzing their fashion
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: and she basically, well she she showed this picture of
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Bronwin and she called her a call girl. She said
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: she don't like a call girl, which I was like,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: this is slut shaming and fashion has changed. This woman
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: was a woman of a certain age and I don't
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: know if that informed her fashion, but she thought she
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: was the fashion expert, and I didn't appreciate. And I
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: feel like, I don't know, I don't know if Tanner humanity,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: if that person was vetted. But we were there to
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: get gave her and sharing our fandom and affection for
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: the Real Housewives, and to have a presenter like that
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: was really interesting and a lot of us were hoping
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: to hear more about the fashion and not just like
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: making fun of it.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Well, aside from her for perhaps slut shaming, yes, aside
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: from that, she apparently was the only one there who
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: had any taste at all and didn't like the show.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Stop it did.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: How did the audience react to That's what I want
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to do When she said that, it was it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Was quiet, you know I I My thought is us
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: all being very polite and kind didn't want to say anything.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: And that's why I'm saying this for all of you
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: who were in attendance and maybe didn't want to say
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the thing. It wasn't cool. And the group I was
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: almost in my family that I was with, we that
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: was what we observed, were like, we didn't appreciate that,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: and so but that I'll be curious that anybody had
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: any feedback about that. But other than that, it was
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: It was so interesting. And at the very end, they
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: had a panel that was basically simulating a watch party,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: and so they had different students come up and they
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: would show a clip and they would have us participate
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: by putting up a survey and reacting to different h
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: like things happening, and so it was really the way
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: they set it up was just really thoughtful, and they
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: gave us all such great swag. They had these mugs,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: the insulated wine tumblers, and they did such a great
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: job like putting something on. And I know we couldn't
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: do this all the time, but you know, I hope
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: there's an opportunity to do something like this is fantastic
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: bring fans together.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at a picture here. I think Stephanie posted
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: this on our in our chat room. A picture of
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: you on the panel and you're wearing your bad Mormon sweatshirt. Yeah,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and you you are so you were here in the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: studio and your hair is wild. You you had you
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: looked like a You look like a wild woman when
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you were here. You know, your hair just goes everywhere
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and and uh and yeah, and you have tattoos. And
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: here you look like a school teacher. Your hair is
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: all back in a bum and you're wearing glasses and
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you're wearing a plaid skirt instead. Well, you should have
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: seen her here in the studio looked at different. What
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: what what is the first thing I said to you
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: on the radio when you were here.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: You said, you said it was very cute.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I said, you are so damn cute. And here you
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: are just looking cute in a different way. You look
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: like a different person.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: No, I get that a lot because of what I
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: do with my hair. So the first thing I'll say
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: is for those of us that know code switching is
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: a thing. And then and then I you know, I
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: do like to. I did curate each outfit for as
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: a housewife, as a proper housewife does. I curated the
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: right outfit for the right crowd, all right. I knew
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: people would love that sweatshirt and no one else thrust out.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I'll say that for the event too. I thought people
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: were going to come up in their Housewives swag. I
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: think I was the only person that like really showed
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: up in like housewives guards. So I had to go there.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: But yes, and and then also personally hard hard to

  Speaker 2: pack all that product for the curls, you know, although
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I did see it.
