- 1:38comment from somebody, yeah, who said they were afraid of our podcast because
- 1:44we always open by saying that we're politically incorrect, and they thought we were
- 1:48going to be neo Nazis and say a bunch of racist stuff like that.
- 1:52That's not what we mean. No, we just mean like we might have
- 1:55opinions that we are unlikely to censor. Yeah, that not everybody will agree
- 2:00with. But we are good people over here. We are we are wonderful
- 2:04people over here, and we just try to have fun, honey, talking
- 2:06about reality television. We never ever talk politics, no fuck that shit.
- 2:10No, we don't like to talk about it, and so we're never gonna
- 2:14do that. And that's great. Like, we need a space on the
- 2:15Internet where somedy's not screaming about politics. Can I get an thank you so
- 2:23vander Pump rules. You said we had somebody right in with a comment that
- 2:27you wanted to share. Yeah, this is actually one of my friends on
- 2:30my online friend oh okay, and she is a huge Bravo person. She
- 2:36loves this shit, and she said this is her hot take about La La.
- 2:38Okay. She says, La La was a fucking grifter from the beginning
- 2:43and was attempting to sleep with successful and powerful men so she would never have
- 2:46to work. Not only that, but she fucking failed in her sugar baby
- 2:51mission and is now tethered to and in a custody battle with a casting couch
- 2:55creep and decided to be a single mother deliberately. Now her main paycheck,
- 3:00VPR is in serious danger, and she's somehow making that Ariana's problem because Arianna
- 3:07never had to fuck producers to get success and jobs and opportunities because she was
- 3:10well received by the crowd. Laala was also a production puppet all season because
- 3:15she knew like everyone else did, that the show was in danger and thought
- 3:19tearing Ariana down would make for a good storyline. She also wanted me to
- 3:23add that she's a single mom herself, so she's not harping on Lalla for
- 3:25being a single mom. She's just like, why would you deliberately choose to
- 3:30be one? That's a really interesting take, and I can kind of see
- 3:35that. I mean, I think that up until this season, Laala has
- 3:39always had the luxury to have like really authentic reactions to things. But this
- 3:46season, I feel like I can smell the desperation on her, like she
- 3:50knows, like if she doesn't pull something out, if she doesn't make this
- 3:53cast work the way she thinks they need to work, then they're gonna lose
- 3:55their job. And what does she have? She has her Amazon Live stop,
- 4:00I mean, which is like, what is that? I don't know
- 4:02what. Maybe it's popular, I have no idea. I know she has
- 4:04a podcast, but it's just a podcast right where she's constantly getting yes queened
- 4:11of course, like nobody challenges her on anything. Yeah, And what I
- 4:14thought was really interesting in this reunion is that she was going back and forth
- 4:17with Katie about Katie saying like, I will come for your job if you
- 4:21come for mine, And she's bringing her child into it as if she's Janet
- 4:28on the valley, right, and their pregnancy and their children are the most
- 4:31important thing about them, distinguishing them from the shit that they do. Like
- 4:36her hypocrisy. Her hypocrisy throughout both parts of the reunion has been on full
- 4:43display. Oh yeah, and it's really embarrassing to watch because like, I'm
- 4:46not a VPR ho. Okay, Like I haven't seen all of the earlier
- 4:49seasons. I don't know all of the lore except for what you tell me
- 4:53and what I see online. But this season I came into the beginning like,
- 4:58oh, I like Lala, She's very pretty. I like that she's
- 5:00kind of crazy, says what she thinks. I admire that energy sometimes.
- 5:03But then after this reunion, I'm like, girl, you are digging yourself
- 5:08a grave, Like what are you doing. You're ruining your job, You're
- 5:12ruining your reputation, and now what are you gonna do. You're gonna be
- 5:15broke and you're gonna be a single mom, like have fun and nobody likes
- 5:18you. And the gag is like you're blaming Katie for ruining your job or
- 5:25trying to come for your job, but you're doing that yourself because you are
- 5:28so unlikable that nobody's gonna want to listen to your podcast. Yep, No,
- 5:31one's gonna want to buy your send it to Darryl's sweatshirts or your water,
- 5:35and nobody's gonna want to support you. Yeah. And that's not something
- 5:39Katie did, That's something you did. Yep. Yeah, she got on
- 5:43my nerves. Yeah, she really pissed me off, especially with the whole
- 5:46boundaries thing with Ariana. That was like, girl, you're so toxic.
- 5:50Can we can we talk about that? Yes? Okay, So that conversation
- 5:56in which it sounded like Andy was trying to call Laala out for her hypocrisy
- 6:00because in the previous seasons she told everybody like, if you're hanging out with
- 6:03Randall Emmett, then you're no friend to me. But then she wouldn't respect
- 6:09Arianna's boundaries in that regard, and her whole argument was, well, the
- 6:13biggest differences I had a kid with this man. Yeah, that's it.
- 6:15And I'm just wondering how that factors in at all, Like why does that
- 6:19change it? That's what doesn't make any sense to me, because Arianna is
- 6:24straight up telling Lalla like, you don't have to understand it. It's still
- 6:27my boundary though, and you still, as my friend, should be respecting
- 6:31that as a good person, but you're not. You're stomping over it.
- 6:34And Laala's like, well, I just don't understand because it's totally different.
- 6:39I understand that lala situation is a little different in terms of like the custody
- 6:42battle and that stuff can be used in court, blah blah blah. But
- 6:46at the same time, just because your situation is different doesn't mean that you
- 6:49get to blatantly disrespect your friend's boundaries and shit on her for even having boundaries
- 6:56in the first place, Like that was just so frustrating and so to after
- 7:00she respected your boundary, after she supported you in the ways that you articulated
- 7:05that you needed her too, she did it. There is no difference.
- 7:09It doesn't matter that you're married or not. It doesn't matter whether you have
- 7:13a child or not. You had a breakup from this person and you asked
- 7:16everybody to adhere to your rules. Ariana didn't think twice. She's like,
- 7:19no problem, I'll do it. And then you turn around and you don't
- 7:23have the same respect for her. That's the problem. And it's not anything
- 7:26but your kid. No, it doesn't have anything to do with Ariana is
- 7:29still living in the house and so it doesn't make sense to you. It
- 7:31doesn't matter. This is what she's saying she needs from you as a friend,
- 7:35and you can't give it to her exactly. And on the after show
- 7:39I was watching it, Ariana was trying to clarify like her position. She's
- 7:42like, I've never said that people can't be friends with sandival I just said
- 7:46I won't be friends with you if you are friends with him, because I
- 7:49don't want my name or anything I say to get to him and vice versa,
- 7:55Like I'm just not gonna do that. And I thought that that was
- 7:57like a fair point, but all of these girls like Lala and Sheena are
- 8:01turning it around and being like, no, you're saying we can't be friends
- 8:03with him. No, she's just saying, I'm not going to be friends
- 8:05with somebody who's friends with my ex who's a cheating, narcissistic ashole who ruined
- 8:11my life. Right, But that does put pressure on them right to conform
- 8:16to what she wants them to do. I mean when we went through the
- 8:18montage right last week. Yeah, her actually saying that she's not going to
- 8:22be down with and or hang out with anybody who's hanging out with Tom Sanimal,
- 8:26But I still respect that you're gonna have to make a choice at some
- 8:30point, like who are you going to ride for? If it comes down
- 8:33to this, who are you going to ride for? Right? But Lala
- 8:35just wants to be a production plant. She just wants to make TV because
- 8:39she's desperate for her job. She just wants to attack Katie, who is
- 8:43the realist on this entire cast, because Katie isn't saying the things she wants
- 8:48Katie to say so that they can make good television. Lost. I've just
- 8:52lost so much respect for Lalla. I didn't have a lot of money,
- 8:56but I lost it all for her me too. She was so freaking frustrating,
- 9:00and I just, I don't know. I was frustrated with how she
- 9:03Lala's coming off as like she's the realist person here. I'm still honest.
- 9:07They made Truth Teller. I lived my authentic life on all eleven seasons of
- 9:11VPR, and I'm like, girl, No, you didn't, not at
- 9:15all. You hid so much and you lied. We see Katie calling you
- 9:18out for dating a married man, and you're lying about it. Right.
- 9:22You wouldn't let anybody talk about Randal. You wouldn't let anybody challenge your relationship
- 9:26with Randal. You shut that shit down immediately. Yeah, So, no,
- 9:28you're not this big truth teller. No. And even when she's calling
- 9:33Katie out quote unquote for venting to her about Ariana and her frustrations with something
- 9:39about her, like she looked so stupid in this episode, Lala did,
- 9:41because even Andy's like, Okay, Katie's just venting to a friend about what's
- 9:46going on with her other friend. She's not talking shit to Arianna because Ariana's
- 9:52got a lot she's dealing with. Her life's just been turned upside down because
- 9:56of Sandoval. Like, maybe chill out. You look like a bad friend,
- 9:58Laala. You look like a fake, oh ass bitch to everybody,
- 10:03including Katie, Ariana, everyone, right, And later in this episode,
- 10:09she's getting into it with Ariana, which we'll talk about, but like it's
- 10:11the first time she's trying to moderate her vocal tones and it's the first time
- 10:18she's not actually screaming because I think she's coming up against the one power position
- 10:22person in this group. I think Ariana has the power to crash this group
- 10:26personally, and so she's not screaming at her, but it's the only time
- 10:31she's not screaming. She's been screaming this entire time throughout part one and now
- 10:35into part two. I'm just like, oh, I can't, how are
- 10:39we And she's talking over people like I just to you, She's interjecting herself
- 10:46and her opinions into absolutely everything. I know, shut up, You're not
- 10:50that important. I know you're not that important to the conversation, especially when
- 10:56what you're bringing to the conversation is produced. And I'm kind of excited for
- 11:01the last reunion because it's gonna be over and we're gonna be done with this,
- 11:05but also but also because they're gonna show the last like fifteen minutes of
- 11:09the episode, which Arianna hasn't seen, and nobody has seen the last fifteen
- 11:15minutes of the footage, some of the people that lived it, like La
- 11:18La when she was calling Ariana out for having a god complex. I'm like,
- 11:22Oh, that's gonna be messy. And this is why it's alleged now
- 11:26that everybody thinks Ariana and Laala are not friends anymore. It seems like it.
- 11:30On the after show, they're kind of talking about how they just don't
- 11:33really talk to anybody anymore, and everybody's removed vander Pump Rules from their Instagram
- 11:37bio, which is interesting. Now I don't think everybody had vander Pump Rules
- 11:43on their bios, but some did and now none of them do, which
- 11:48I found fascinating. But yeah, that conversation came up when they were talking
- 11:54about Schwartz telling Ariana before they went to Tahoe, like, you're not the
- 11:58queen of the group, don't tell everybody else had to feel and what to
- 12:01say, And then Ariana says something like, well, Schwartz is the only
- 12:05person who seems to have that opinion, so like whatever, and then they
- 12:09pan across the crowd because everybody knows what was said in the season finale even
- 12:15though they haven't watched it, and Arianna hasn't watched anything. So Lala,
- 12:20where's your chest? Now? Say it with your whole chest. If you
- 12:22think Arianna has this big ego, then why aren't you saying it in this
- 12:26moment? Right? Like she really thought she did something this season, La
- 12:30La, Huh, she thought she was doing some great TV, some drama
- 12:35about my girl. You just ruined all your friendships, you ruined your reputation
- 12:37because now the world fucking hates you and thinks you're a hypocrite because you are.
- 12:43And it's just like crazy to see what did you think about Katie and
- 12:48Schwartz and Joe and all of that. So Joe is such an agent of
- 12:56chaos. I think she's not doing it intentionally. I think it's a byproduct
- 13:01of her innate personality, the way she talks over people, the way she
- 13:05turns to Sheena constantly and asks like what does she mean? What does she
- 13:09say? Oh my god, Like she's having all these weird side conversations.
- 13:13She's constantly gesticulating she's just a weird girl. And I think that's what Katie's
- 13:18like referring to when she says crackhead energy and like I can kind of see
- 13:22it. Yeah. My whole feeling about this was, first of all,
- 13:24Katie's a queen totally, and she really never apologized and she broke down why
- 13:30she felt like she felt, and I think that was entirely valid. Now,
- 13:35at the same time, I think Joe has every right to have felt
- 13:39somewhat bullied and to have felt somewhat picked upon. But at the same time,
- 13:43you're fucking a woman's husband, like right after they break up and so
- 13:48if you get some smoke for that, you entirely deserve it. My takeaway
- 13:54with Joe was that she came on this reunion to make herself a victim.
- 14:00Believe her crocodile tears. I don't believe she was really that sad about Katie.
- 14:03Like when you see her on all of her Instagram lives currently like running
- 14:07currently, now, she's popping off, she's talking mad shit, She's emotionally
- 14:13unregulated. I was much more interested in the Tom Schwartz as a fuck boy
- 14:20conversation. We got into that a little bit, but it's wild to me
- 14:24how Tom Schwartz can't take even a smidge of criticism regarding his conduct and how
- 14:31he treats women, how he treats people, and how he's treated Katie and
- 14:33Joe, Like he couldn't hear anything, and even James is like, what
- 14:37are you talking about? You absolutely did this, and Lawa was telling him,
- 14:41you absolutely did this. You're gaslighting in front of all of us.
- 14:43You're gaslighting Joe. Oh yeah, you can't see it. No, he
- 14:48can't see it at all. And there was also a point where Sheena said
- 14:50that he was a shitty husband he's like, no, I wasn't. I
- 14:52wasn't a shitty husband to Katie. And it's like, oh my god,
- 14:56like talk about denial, Like, no, wonder your data some twenty something
- 15:01year old chick who doesn't have a brain that's fully developed because they get Otherwise
- 15:07she'd be able to see how toxic and crazy you are, to like just
- 15:11be so unaware of how shitty you are. But then on the after show
- 15:15he's sitting there with Tom Sandoval being like, yeah, I know I wasn't
- 15:16the best of Katie and I'm sorry for that, and like we're never gonna
- 15:20get back together. It is what it is. I've moved on. It's
- 15:22like, oh, shut it is lip service. He is saying things he
- 15:26thinks the audience wants to hear. When you watch him on the reunion,
- 15:30you can see, Yeah, he likes to needle her, so he likes
- 15:33to nag her. He's just an absolute asshole. Yep. And he takes
- 15:37no responsibility for Joe, oh none at all. And I loved how everyone
- 15:39in the group was calling him out for that, like nobody had anything good
- 15:43to say about how he handled Joe, And I love that Katie even straight
- 15:48up said, like, I have empathy for you, Joe, because I
- 15:50feel bad that you've been strung along by my shitty ex husband who does not
- 15:56give a shit about you at all. All he wants to do is buck
- 15:58right, just like the people and seeking sister White, right right, that's
- 16:03it. So I thought that was cool that Katie at least acknowledged that.
- 16:07Yeah, but at the same time, she wasn't like cowed by all the
- 16:12people who said, you shouldn't be talking to her like that, You shouldn't
- 16:15be treating other people like that. I said that personally, like I felt
- 16:18like when Joe came out for that one event by the pool and all the
- 16:22girls got together and made her feel bad and Sina took her hat, I'm
- 16:26like, where are we in high school? Like, don't treat other people
- 16:29like that. If you have something to say, you should say that.
- 16:32But Katie is owning her shit. She is taking responsibility for the things that
- 16:37she did and trying to explain herself. But the thing is, Joe just
- 16:41came into this reunion to make Katie look bad. She's not really there to
- 16:45have a conversation because frankly, she does not know how to listen to anybody,
- 16:51much less speak with intention or slow the fuck down so everybody can understand
- 16:55her. She just came there to cry her big dumb tears and make Katie
- 16:59feel bad. But guess what, she don't feel bad. No, and
- 17:00she's standing ten toes down, honey, mm hmmm. And that was what
- 17:04was so weird to me, because Joe kind of puts on this air like
- 17:07she's this this small town girl. She's just like a weird, quirky person
- 17:11in La with all these vapid people. But it's like, girl, like,
- 17:15I don't know what you expected Katie to feel when you moved in with
- 17:18Schwartz for a few days, like you say, and you were CouchSurfing in
- 17:22his hat, like shut up. And then you guys get drunk and have
- 17:26been fucking for a whole entire year. And Katie even brings up like we
- 17:30had an agreement when we divorce that he wouldn't be screwing people in the friend
- 17:34group I wouldn't be, and then you go and do it two or three
- 17:38weeks after we separate. So yeah, of course I'm going to be mad.
- 17:42So I totally see what Katie's how Katie comes from. I understand she's
- 17:47a hard person and she can come off very mean. I'm kind of like
- 17:49that too, especially when I'm hurting and I'm mad. I can be a
- 17:52bit of a bitch. Really, so I get, oh, I've never
- 17:56seen that in you at all. No, because I try not to,
- 17:57cause I know it's just trying to elder I'm your mom in law. They're
- 18:02always so sweet, but I hear what you're saying. Yeah, And Katie
- 18:03even said something like, yeah, I don't have to like everybody. Yeah,
- 18:07exactly. I don't have to respect all people. I choose very deliberately
- 18:11who I want in my circle. And Joe, you ain't it, honey,
- 18:15No, honey, no, she wants to be though, very very
- 18:18very much. Talk about a grifter. So let's talk a little bit about
- 18:22Sena. When Sina was talking about not getting the memo that Ariana was going
- 18:30to be on Dancing with the Stars, whereas like Dan, her boyfriend,
- 18:33Ariana's boyfriend got the memo and I guess logan because they're screwing, And who's
- 18:38logan? Logan is? I think Ariana's best friend? Oh okay, like
- 18:42so, but Sina was confounded and confused as to why she didn't get that
- 18:47memo, and then of course she happened to overhear that Ariana also was going
- 18:52to be in Chicago, and Ariana hadn't told her directly, and so she
- 18:56was talking a little bit about that, and she was smart and she seemed
- 19:02to try to say that she didn't really have a problem with it, and
- 19:04she understood. But I feel like she's but hurt about that, oh one
- 19:08thousand, yeah percent, And it's really kind of embarrassing to me and very
- 19:12cringe that we're even still talking about this on the reunion. I understand it
- 19:17was kind of like a plot point throughout the season and stuff, but like,
- 19:21if Sheina wanted to look good, all she'd have to say is yeah,
- 19:25I was a little but hr but like I'm cool, I'm over it
- 19:27now. I wish her the best, Like that's so awesome, I'm so
- 19:30glad that you were on it. But like she's still like, I just
- 19:33wish I would have known. I wish she would have told me. And
- 19:36then on the after show she's also talking about it Sandoval and everyone's like,
- 19:41yeah, she know she'd get her chance at Dancing with the Stars. I'm
- 19:44like, oh my god, I'm so crazy and the reunion, Sana says,
- 19:48well, I'm very busy this year because I make music with the twenty
- 19:52sevens or whatever their dumb name is. So it's not like I could actually
- 19:56do it because I'm booked and busy and blessed. Uh huh. But maybe
- 19:59next like you're desperate, You're so desperate. And when we get into the
- 20:03conversation about how every single man in the group has hit on Shena at one
- 20:08point or another, because that was brought up as a result of Katie never
- 20:15being told that Tom actually tried to kiss Sheena, like Sheina is just trying
- 20:21to say, well, I can't tell you anything. I'm just I want
- 20:22you to be happy, and I don't want you to think I'm a home
- 20:26wrecker. I didn't want to spoil your relationship with Tom Schwartz. I don't
- 20:30know what Shena was giving in this reunion, but it was weak. It
- 20:33was desperate, and she's not a good friend. She is so anxiously attached
- 20:38to everyone and everything in her life, like she doesn't know how to be
- 20:42solid into friendship, whether that's to Katie, whether that's to Ariana, whether
- 20:47that's in her own relationship. She just wants accolades, She wants to be
- 20:51the first to know, she wants to be invited to everything, but she
- 20:53doesn't know how to show up for people in a solid way. In my
- 20:56opinion, no, I agree one percent. And on the after show,
- 21:00she was straight at being like, yeah, you know, the one thing
- 21:03that really pisses me off, Like, especially in the context with her having
- 21:07a friendship with Sandoval, I guess she had like an after party with him
- 21:10or something after the finale or after the reunion or something, and Ariana found
- 21:15out about it because she she went up to his room or something. Okay,
- 21:18I didn't watch this week only I know. I only watched it right
- 21:22before I came why it's fresh on my mind. But Sina was talking about
- 21:26this and she's like, you know, the thing that bothers me all season
- 21:30is that Arianna forgets that I have pure intentions. And I'm like, girl,
- 21:33on the reunion with all this stuff, with the dancing with the Stars
- 21:37and Sandoval and the friendship and everything, I'm like, you're kind of a
- 21:41snake, Like I wouldn't trust you, especially if you're trying to act like
- 21:45you're my friend and like you care about me, but then you're fucking jealous
- 21:48and you're talking to my ex boyfriend after I freaking told you. It made
- 21:52me uncomfortable, Like, I don't know. I think she and a shady
- 21:56I don't trust her, and I think that's how narcissists act. This is
- 21:59something narcises do when you call them on their shit. They say something like,
- 22:03well, but you know my heart, yeah, you know who it
- 22:04is that I am. I'm like, actually, I know your actions and
- 22:07I see what you're doing and it doesn't reconcile with who you say that you
- 22:11are. And that's what I think she is doing in all of these situations.
- 22:17Totally makes sense because that's what Sandoval does too. Yep. And I
- 22:19can't wait to see him cry on the next reunion, him with his fake
- 22:23tears, trying to apologize to Arianna, fucking vising and tears. She doesn't
- 22:30want any of it. So obviously that preview when he's talking to Ariana,
- 22:33this is right after they watched the final six minutes, and she sees everything
- 22:37that Tom says and she's gonna see what Lala said and also how Sheena in
- 22:41that moment also said something like no, I totally agree with you, Laala.
- 22:45She does have a god complex, so she's gonna see all of that
- 22:48and I cannot wait. Oh and then we also have to talk about James
- 22:52and Ali. Yes, yes, First of all, Ali looked gorgeous.
- 22:56You know who she looks like? Well, I mean you'd have to be
- 22:57an old head like me to remember the movie Love Story with Ali McGraw.
- 23:03Ali McGraw had like this long, dark brown hair, and she has kind
- 23:08of a similar bone structure to Ali McGrath. But she's stunning in those beautiful
- 23:14emerald green dress. Word classickly beautiful. Yes, anyways, it's my thought
- 23:19about Ali. But go on, I really like Allie. I think she's
- 23:22really great. I think she's been great all season. I like how they
- 23:26were kind of talking about James's sobriety, so I guess he's been sober for
- 23:30a year. Andy's like, well, you said you didn't want to be
- 23:33sober for the relationship or you didn't want to, you know, become sober
- 23:37for that, but it seems like you are because they're talking about how Ali
- 23:40left, she strayed up bluff for a couple nights with two or four.
- 23:44I forget I don't right, she loves she packed up the cats and everything.
- 23:47She says she doesn't like James drinking, so he's sober. But I
- 23:52thought that was kind of interesting and I was just looking at her body language.
- 23:56And of course I have said all season long that I I'm very dubious
- 24:00about James because of the multiple allegations of domestic violence. Rachel is making those
- 24:07allegations, although they're very veiled, but Kristen has come right out and said
- 24:10he fucking hit me for sure. Yeah, And so like, I'm always
- 24:12side eyeing James, and I think he did those things when he was drinking.
- 24:17So I'm wondering if anything like that happened with Ali, like he was
- 24:21drinking, maybe he was exhibiting chaotic behavior or like did he actually do something.
- 24:26I certainly hope not, because she does seem to have a really good
- 24:30head on her shoulders. Yeah, I can't imagine that she would let some
- 24:33none lead, but I mean take some sort of abuse like that and then
- 24:37not leave, right, But I'm just not sure. I'm always where when
- 24:40it comes to James. I'm just always concerned, always skeptical. Yeah,
- 24:45And I mean that's fair, and I wonder honestly, for me, my
- 24:48vibe vibe check is that Ali probably left because he was saying some really effed
- 24:53up shit when he was drunk one night, and she's like, you know
- 24:56what, I'm done, You're an asshole every time you drink. Peace out,
- 25:00get your shit together, and then maybe I'll come back. And then
- 25:03he decided, Okay, I'll get my shit together because you're like the best
- 25:07thing that's happened to me. So I think it's really dangerous for somebody who
- 25:10has an addiction and or is an alcoholic to give up their advice for someone
- 25:15else totally or to stay in a relationship like you have to kind of do
- 25:21what Lala did, although actually Laala gave up booze for Randall. Yeah,
- 25:26Randall told her like, if you don't stop drinking, like we're done,
- 25:29because she was so chaotic. But if you're giving up booze or your vice
- 25:33for somebody else, then you really run the risk, Like if there's a
- 25:37problem in the relationship or if you like hit a part of the relationships,
- 25:41it's very difficult if you have a disagreement, like are you just gonna go
- 25:45right back to it and roll up your life like ooh, sketchy. I
- 25:49know, I worry about it. Scary, and I mean, at least
- 25:52James took a little bit of accountability for his behavior, Like he says something
- 25:56like, you know, I know that I'm super disrespect and crazy and I
- 26:00say some really messed up things when I'm drinking, So I just know it's
- 26:03better for me to stop. But I'm like, okay, but you're still
- 26:06a DJ, though, and you DJ at all these clubs where everybody's getting
- 26:10drunk or high on MDMA or whatever. He's California sober, so he does
- 26:14do a lot of weed. Weed, sure, But I mean there's two
- 26:18different things right there in my opinion, So I don't know. I worry
- 26:22about them. But I feel like Ali's really good for him, and I
- 26:26hope that he can continue to be a good man for her because she deserves
- 26:29that. I am dubious. Yeah, I don't blame you, right,
- 26:33but I don't blame it. Is this when they kind of also got into
- 26:36the conversation about Ariana and Tom and the pets, because James also piped in
- 26:41with that, Yeah, that was like right at the end, because I
- 26:45think Andy brings it up. He's like, what is the custody with your
- 26:48guys's animals, and Ariana is like, well, I've had kitty for like
- 26:52fifteen years, so she's mine. I'm not giving her to Sandbal And I
- 26:56purchased Maya and that's all in my name, so she's also mine. And
- 27:00Sandoval rolls his eyes. He doesn't say anything, he just rolls his eyes,
- 27:04and then James is just like, oh, fuck off, need a
- 27:07dick, Like he's like super mad at him immediately, right, which I
- 27:11just loved, and it was like right at the very end of this boring
- 27:14reunion, but James is calling him out because Sandoval understood the situation kind of
- 27:21with Rachel and Graham and all of this stuff, like it was on the
- 27:23side of Rachel taking her right because when Rachel and James broke up, Rachel
- 27:30decided to take Graham, even though James had such a heartfelt, deep and
- 27:33meaningful bond with that dog, she took him anyway, ended up giving him
- 27:37to the pound or whatever. And Sandoval stood with Rachel in that situation.
- 27:41But now that the situation is being applied to him, he has a problem
- 27:45with Arianna just taking Maya because that's Ariana's dog, so like, shut the
- 27:49fuck up, Sandoval, once again, you're being a hypocrite. But then
- 27:53Sandoval gets all defensive and true Sandoval fashion, yeah, and brings up that
- 27:59he has heard some things about James and hippie I think a Graham and Graham.
- 28:06Yeah. I think he said something he heard about all things that James
- 28:10was doing with the dog or whatever, or like he had heard some shit
- 28:12from Rachel that he hasn't said. But it's like you're saying shit, You're
- 28:18gonna say stuff, right, Oh, I was, I was interpreting that
- 28:22as him saying I've heard like you're cheating or I heard like you're doing other
- 28:26things. But I think, actually, you're right, he's probably talking about
- 28:30the shit that Rachel talked when she was with Tom Sandoval. Because Rachel did
- 28:33say on her podcast, which I somebody addressed. I think it was andy
- 28:37that James was not great with Graham when Graham was a puppy, and that
- 28:42the reason Graham has all of these behavioral issues is because of how James treated
- 28:47him, Yes, which is disturbing because I mean, if you're also putting
- 28:51your hands on people and you're violent when you're drunk, like I mean,
- 28:56I can see a world where that could happen. I don't want that to
- 28:59be true, but Tom is probably insinuating that. Yeah, And I think
- 29:03that's honestly probably bullshit on Rachel's part and Tom's part, because I mean,
- 29:08Lisa vander Pump pipes in. It's like the only time she's talked in all
- 29:11of these reunions. She's like just a prop there, but she pipes in
- 29:15and she's like, no, when I got Graham back, like the way
- 29:18that James reacted and they show the clip of him crying like he loves that
- 29:22dog. Like, so I think it's all just a bunch of like talking
- 29:26crap, like Rachel's trying to take the heat off of her, right,
- 29:30which I get, but also, girl, you made your bed, you
- 29:33did this. I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is. And
- 29:36same thing with Sandoval trying to push it off and act like James is like
- 29:38this piece of shit, which he might be, okay, like there's a
- 29:41lot of allegations against him. He might be a piece of shit, but
- 29:44it's like it's all just deflection, right, and that's what's so annoying,
- 29:48right, and that's why James calls him out and says, eat a dick,
- 29:49Tom, because come on, eat this all the time, which,
- 29:53like, however you feel about James, I just love when he goes for
- 29:56Tom. I just love when he goes in. It is a thing of
- 30:00beauty. It's so great. I just admire that it's the Sagittarius in him,
- 30:04is it? Yeah? So is there anything else like that was interesting?
- 30:11Yeah? It was kind of boring, Yeah, kind of. And
- 30:12we're heading into the big conflict in part three and I can't wait to get
- 30:17to it me too. I want to see some tears. Yeah, I
- 30:18want to see some screaming, not from Lalla though, like some actual fighting
- 30:22or something, getting into the drama of it all and having like a real
- 30:26discussion around it. All right, let's now get into the valley. And
- 30:32if you're watching on YouTube, but it is a different video, we usually
- 30:34release it within an hour, so it's coming, Henny, don't worry about
- 30:37it. And you're gonna want to watch though, because that was I thought
- 30:40that that was a lit All right, let's get into it. All right,
- 30:45let's dive right into the valley. Yeah, before we do, there
- 30:48are some things that we have to talk about on the internet, because apparently
- 30:53Kristen got into it with Janet on Instagram, and then Janet got in to
- 31:00it with Zach on x slash Twitter, and it all revolves around something that
- 31:06Janet is claiming Zach said to her that is really vile, and I think
- 31:11it is along the lines of something like well, I hope your baby doesn't
- 31:14go to term and I hope you die, or something like that, like
- 31:17really go fucking terrible and vile. This is something that Janet is saying that
- 31:22Zach said, and is also claiming that Kristen knows about this and that Kristen
- 31:30is somehow responsible for not checking Zach. Without me breaking it down, let
- 31:34me just read what was said between Kristin and Janet first. So Kristin is
- 31:38responding to somebody's Instagram, not Janet's that we're breaking down a podcast interview that
- 31:44Janet had been on, and Kristin says, I had a fucking pregnancy loss.
- 31:48I would never in a million years say something like that. Wait for
- 31:52me to post the text where I asked Janet about her pregnancy, including when
- 31:57she texted me the baby's first heartbeat and oh yeah, I was at her
- 32:01gender reveal. This is revolting so Kristen is saying that Janet's claims that she's
- 32:07backing up Zach, who allegedly said these things. It is really terrible of
- 32:10Kristen and Christen's coming back was I was there for you, I was supporting
- 32:15you, we were texting. Wow. To this, Janet responds and says,
- 32:20Kristin Dowdy, it absolutely is revolting that your bff Zach said out loud
- 32:24that he was hoping I would miscarry and commit suicide this summer. All of
- 32:30our friends and castmates were aware of what he said and reached out expressing how
- 32:34disgusted they were by Zach's death. Wish upon my unborn child, except for
- 32:38you, glad to hear now that you find his comments as revolting as everyone
- 32:44else does. So I have to take your temperature here. Do we think
- 32:50Zach, who I think probably has a pinchant for being shady, is so
- 32:55gross that he would say something like that to Janet? No, I don't
- 32:59think I think Janet is not trustworthy. I think she's chronically online and in
- 33:04the comments section, she's very hyper aware of like what everyone's saying about her,
- 33:08because everyone fucking hates her on the Valley. She's a total be at
- 33:14ct H. That's how you spell that, b ict h. Yeah,
- 33:17that's the you know that clip. No, that's a famous clip. No
- 33:22being a boomer, You are totally a boomer the famous clip at ct H
- 33:28And in that order, I've never heard. No, I've never I'll show
- 33:30it to you later, boomer. I was just wanting to correct you.
- 33:35I don't want you to look dumb online on anybody. My bag girl anyway.
- 33:39Yeah, I think Janet's a total b ict and I don't believe her.
- 33:44I don't believe that he would say such vile, awful things, just
- 33:47like how earlier in the season she's the one calling Michelle racist and homophobic and
- 33:52all of this shit and then denying it completely because she wants to be on
- 33:55Michelle's good side. And one thing I'm noticing is that she says all of
- 34:00our friends and castmates were aware of what he said, not that they heard
- 34:06him say it, but that they were made aware of it, and it
- 34:08was probably by Janet. Huh. So maybe he said some shady shit to
- 34:13her and she's like spinning it this way, but I personally don't I agree.
- 34:19I don't believe Zach actually said that, Yeah, no, And I
- 34:22mean, and if he didn't say that, to say that he did is
- 34:25so messed up is really gross. Well, and if he did actually say
- 34:30that and he's lying or he denies it or whatever, and he's like,
- 34:32no, one never said that, and we get receipts later on, then
- 34:36Screwzac. He's a piece of shit. So I don't know, I'll hearsay
- 34:39at this point, then we have on X and Twitter where somebody made a
- 34:44post about those gay guys and the one in particular, Simon who was wearing
- 34:47the pink rocks, and the person on X refer to them as her minions
- 34:52because they are, and Zach comes in and says, yes, they're her
- 34:57minions, and Janet responds to Zach. So she's in the comment section,
- 35:04so Zach certainly didn't add her, and I don't actually see the first comment,
- 35:08so I'm not sure if the poster added her, but anyway, Janet
- 35:10found it and she comes in and she's like, my minions. The only
- 35:15thing I asked to be when you sincerely apologized for your inexcusable actions was distance
- 35:22and to not continue to come for me while I work on attempting to forgive
- 35:27you. I knew your apology was fake and you meant every disgusting word you
- 35:31said, wow, to which he did not respond. But this is what
- 35:37she's saying. And I think also on the Valley in an interstitial, she
- 35:42was talking about how she was trying to rebuild with Zach and get their friendship
- 35:46back on track, and how like after all of this, after the phone
- 35:50call where he's getting mad because he's not going to Big Bear, she's like,
- 35:53yeah, after this, I don't know if we can do that.
- 35:57And that's what she's referring to. She's trying to build a friendship back with
- 36:00Zach because she's alleging he said these vile things. Now, if Zach said
- 36:02that, that is so shitty and oh, totally yeah. But I don't
- 36:07believe he did. And that is just a testimony of how much I do
- 36:10not like Janet and I don't believe a thing that she's giving and serving in
- 36:14the season. Nope. I think she's super manipulative and she's married to a
- 36:17lawyer now, so it's like, you know how to play the game and
- 36:22your total mean girl energy. Like even in this episode where she's like totally
- 36:27using her pregnancy as an excuse to be just awful. It's like you pretend
- 36:30she's so afraid, okay, afraid that they're in big bear, shut up,
- 36:35calm down. It was obviously a troll, like it's so cringe.
- 36:38And how old is she, like somedd thirty something? Yeah, I'm mid
- 36:42thirties, late thirties. Girl, act your age. She's so immature and
- 36:46so dumb. Well. Also, speaking of the Internet and things people are
- 36:52saying, you were talking about, and I also noticed that on Reddit,
- 36:55in the Valley subreddit, they're talking about Danny, particularly from this episode,
- 37:01and a lot of people had smoke for Danny and they did not like the
- 37:05things that he said. Yeah, I don't understand. I mean, okay,
- 37:08look in my opinion, mm hmm. I feel like men are allowed
- 37:13to have feelings, yes, And I feel like husbands are allowed to have
- 37:15feelings because they take on a lot of burden. I mean, not just
- 37:20husbands, like spouses in general. When you have big life changes, when
- 37:23you have three little kids, like, that's a lot. It's a lot
- 37:25to handle on both parties, Like not saying that Nea is not doing anything
- 37:30like but he's just crying to his bros who he thinks are his bros when
- 37:34they don't actually give a crap. But like he's just venting and talking about
- 37:37how he's just like, I'm under a lot of freaking pressure and stress,
- 37:40and everybody on Redd's like he's terrible, he's misogynistic. Well, I don't
- 37:45know that's because that's not all he did, though. He wasn't just crying
- 37:49and expressing his feelings about his burden in his life. He also said that
- 37:53he made a blanket statement that wives don't appreciate their husbands and what they do,
- 37:59and jes See also co signed it and said, yeah, they never
- 38:01do. They don't see what we do for them. They dismiss it entirely.
- 38:05And Danny said that, and I'm like, that's wild, and I
- 38:12mean, it's one thing to say my wife dismisses me, my wife doesn't
- 38:15understand what I'm going through, But like to then say this is how all
- 38:20moms are, this is how all wives are, is misogynistic on its face
- 38:23and objectively. Now he seems drunk in this scene, yes, and everybody's
- 38:27been drinking all day. And I have grace for Danny, and I am
- 38:30sure even though he didn't give birth to these children out of his vagina,
- 38:36that he's under a lot of stress and he's doing a whole hell of a
- 38:39lot. I mean, but like, as he's putting babies on boobs,
- 38:44there's a woman there with boobs taking babies. It's not like you have an
- 38:47extra load or an extra responsibility that Nia also doesn't have. But again,
- 38:52it's a drunken expression to the bros. And I'm like, I would let
- 38:58that go. I think he's in night. That's my thought on right Like,
- 39:01I don't think he's like full blown crazy, and like I think there's
- 39:05a lot of discourse online right now, especially like in the trad wife trad
- 39:08husband circles. I don't know if Danny's a part of that, And I'm
- 39:13not judging it or anything. Like whatever you do, you you believe whatever
- 39:16you want to believe. But that's kind of the discourse that goes on is
- 39:20like women need to be appreciative of their husbands because they work so hard and
- 39:23they provide, and like women should be so thankful, and so I just
- 39:28that's what it kind of felt like a little And I can understand why people
- 39:30think he's being shitty, but at the same time, I'm like, dude,
- 39:34he's drunk, he's tired. He's also a dad who's dealing with all
- 39:37this too, and he's working and he's providing for the family. Like,
- 39:39got him some fucking slack. Yeah, And I think the audience is really
- 39:44quick to tear somebody down who up until this point has shown us that he's
- 39:47a great husband, a great dad, Like he's built a lot of social
- 39:52credit with us, right and with me in particular. I really like Danny
- 39:54and I really like Nia, And I don't think a woman of quality like
- 39:58Nia Honey would be with a guy who is a misogey, a stick brick
- 40:00at all. I think she'd walk. Yeah. So I mean, we
- 40:02don't have to come for Danny so hard in my opinion. Yeah. And
- 40:07I mean, but that's reddit for you Annie totally. And there's a difference
- 40:10between Danny's saying something like that and Jesse saying something like that. Jesse has
- 40:15proven himself to be totally an asshole and he does not respect women, especially
- 40:20Michelle. So there, that's kind of like where I'm at. I think
- 40:23Danny's just frustrated and he's tired, and he's doing a lot, and yeah,
- 40:28he said something dumb, but like that's literally the only dumb thing he
- 40:30said for ten episodes, I know, So it's like, let's just chill.
- 40:35Yeah, totally agree on your take with that. But it does kind
- 40:37of seem like Nia and Danny are gonna have a little fight next episode.
- 40:43Maybe, well, because what I noticed with Nia is she's constantly trying to
- 40:46censor him, Like when there are various and and sundry arguments happening in the
- 40:51group, like at various dinners and such, Danny wants to say something and
- 40:54she's always covering his mouth. She's always telling him to be quiet. So
- 40:58it looks like she's going to try and do that again next week and he's
- 41:01gonna be sick of that shit. And I do think it's a fair critique,
- 41:06actually, yeah, because Nia seems to run out of the room as
- 41:09soon as there's drama. It's always like, oh, my babies, there,
- 41:12my babysitter, or I've got to pump my milk or this or that,
- 41:15and like she doesn't actually stay in the mix of it and contribute on
- 41:20that level. And I'm sorry, but that's what you signed up for.
- 41:22It. It's a reality TV show, and it's toxic AF and you signed
- 41:27up for this. And so if your husband wants to participate in conversations and
- 41:30give his viewpoint, which by the way, I think we need sure because
- 41:34it's Danny and Nia, yeah, and they should contribute to the conversation.
- 41:37But she just wants to run from the room. That's not how you do
- 41:39reality TV. Nia. I love you. I think you're all grace,
- 41:43all beauty, all perfection. But if you're gonna be on this show,
- 41:45you're just gonna have to get in there and you're gonna have to mix with
- 41:49the other people, oh for sure. And like I had said, I
- 41:52think it was like last episode, Danny and Nia are too good for this
- 41:54show and too good for reality TV. And I think it's what we're seeing
- 41:59now is they're getting influenced by the toxicity of this group. Like Nia,
- 42:04I know, is dealing with postpartum and so she's got a lot of like
- 42:07emotions and stuff, and that's totally valid and totally fine. Danny, I
- 42:10think, is getting influenced by the guys a little bit, because right before
- 42:15that scene in the preview where he's like, let me talk, let me
- 42:17say what I want to say, the guys are straight up telling him,
- 42:21Yeah, you're getting emasculated by your wife. She wears the pants, grows
- 42:24some balls and be a man, And to say that to a man can
- 42:29really bring up a lot of feelings and a lot of like, oh crap,
- 42:32I do have to assert my masculinity. And so I just kind of
- 42:36wonder with Danny being kind of a sensitive person. He was getting upset at
- 42:39Jesse totally teasing him and wrestling with him last episode. Like, I think
- 42:45he's probably a little bit emotionally charged, and that's why he gets frustrated with
- 42:49Nia right and on the heels of being told that you're emmasculated or that you're
- 42:53not like a full man, that you don't wear the pants in your marriage,
- 42:57like she goes and she checks you right in front of every like bad
- 43:00diming nea exactly. I'm very interested to see how that goes down and how
- 43:05Danny responds to that. Me too. I hope he's a king about it.
- 43:07Yeah, I hope he's not gonna say some more misogonistics stuff. We
- 43:10shall see, we shall see. Before we get into the episode, I
- 43:15do have a takeaway, Like it's just after I watched it, you know,
- 43:17I sit there, and I think to myself, Delia, what'd you
- 43:21think about that? Any thoughts? Usually there are none, but this time,
- 43:25my takeaway is really about Britney vomiting all the time. It's kind of
- 43:30strange to me. And listen, I'm no stranger to an alcoholic beverage.
- 43:35Honey, Okay, I was what's happened you last night? Had a time?
- 43:38Totally? Yeah. So I'm not here to judge anybody's alcohol consumption or
- 43:43anything, but the fact that she is drinking and vomiting a lot, because
- 43:49remember we had nausea. I don't know vomiting, but I think maybe at
- 43:53the sake party at Janet's, we had vomiting into a bag. After the
- 43:58girl's trip to Malibu, we've got vomiting again on this trip to Big Bear.
- 44:02We've seen her have hangovers on other occasions where she's really not having a
- 44:07good time. And I do seem to remember when she was on vander Pump
- 44:10Rules that she was diagnosed with some kind of an ulcer and the doctor told
- 44:15her no more alcohol, like for a period of time at least until it
- 44:19heals, and ulcers can heal. Yeah, Like the doctor's like, yeah,
- 44:22you got to stop drinking. But even on VPR she did not.
- 44:25She continued to take her tequila shots and have a burning stomach. And so
- 44:31Jack's talking about how he's been dealing with this for eight years. I mean,
- 44:36he acted like a brute and a Neanderthal and a barbarian. And I'm
- 44:39not going to defend him, but I'm just wondering, like, why are
- 44:43we vomiting so much? It's not just because you have a sensitive tummy,
- 44:46honey, There's something here, like where there's smoke, there's fire. And
- 44:52if you do still have an ulcer after all these years, that's a problem.
- 44:55Canthos become cancerous? Oh yeah, well, and they can become recurrent
- 45:00and they can get worse. And I mean, if she already had an
- 45:02ulcer like in her twenties, I'm like, what's your liver? Like,
- 45:05what's your gallbladder? Like, like, why are you throwing up so farrowing
- 45:08up so much? That's scary to me. Well, and like when I
- 45:12was watching this episode, my first thought for some reason was like, is
- 45:15she on ozempic? She's growing up a lot because she's on ozempic. Because
- 45:19she's claiming in this episode she didn't drink at all. But then when she
- 45:22starts yelling at Jack's, I heard her say I only had two drinks today,
- 45:27and I'm like, oh, girl, no, you're an alcoholic.
- 45:30I think she's totally drinking a lot, but I think Jacks is driving her
- 45:35to drink. I think she's unhappy with her life and that's not his fault,
- 45:37Like she's an adult and should be responsible for her behavior, Like,
- 45:42don't become an alcoholic when you have a kid. Take care of your marriage,
- 45:45like either stay in and rehabilitated or get out and then go live your
- 45:49life, but don't be an alcoholic. But I do think this has been
- 45:52going on for a really long time, and if her body is rejecting alcohol
- 45:55on this level, like I would, I personally would be freaked out.
- 46:00Yeah that's bad, but you can't even enjoy your life if this is what's
- 46:02happening when you drink. Foe. I mean it kind of does lend itself
- 46:07to Jack's arguments where he's like, I have been dealing with this for so
- 46:10long, and so when I see her throwing up again, yeah, I
- 46:14don't have a lot of sympathy for her because she does this deliberately to herself
- 46:19and you know, it's affecting me, it's affecting my kid, it's affecting
- 46:22our life. He doesn't express that the right way. No, he abuses
- 46:27her and shames her and tries to humiliate her. Yeah, but at the
- 46:30same time, the core of his complaint is valid. Yeah, I would
- 46:36assume so, but like the way he goes about it is really terrible.
- 46:40And at the same time, when he's yelling at her in this episode about
- 46:44the drinking, he's talking about how he had he drank two bottles of tequila.
- 46:47He's like, I'm fine, though, So why can't you hold your
- 46:51liquor like me? And it's like, geez, you guys are both terrible.
- 46:54You're also in alcoholic if you're drinking two bottles of fucking can't even conceive
- 46:59of that's where wild that would happen. And you're doing cocal Yeah, and
- 47:04it's really not fair. Like just because her body can't handle it and yours
- 47:07can doesn't mean you don't have a drinking problem and she does. It just
- 47:10means that her body processes it differently. So why aren't you not drinking?
- 47:15Why aren't you making lifestyle changes to promote health and all that? In your
- 47:20relationship and in your life. But you won't do that right, so you
- 47:22won't curtail your behavior even a little, but you will dogpile her for drinking.
- 47:28Well, And I just wonder if she's drinking as much as he's saying
- 47:31she is, Like he's acting like she's a drunk, like totally drinking a
- 47:37ton to the point of vomiting. But it kind of sounds like she'll just
- 47:42have like a sip, or she'll have one drink or two, but then
- 47:45immediately gets sick, and like that happens to people Like I don't drink anymore
- 47:49because every time I do, I get sick. And I can have like
- 47:52wine every now and then, but if I drink like liquor, I'm totally
- 47:55nauseous. I've got the spins after one drink and it sucks. But it's
- 48:00not like I'm an alcoholic. It's not like some people are just sensitive to
- 48:02it. Some people push through that and they don't give a buck. They're
- 48:06like, I'm just still gonna do That's Brittany. That's what it seems like
- 48:07with Brittany. I don't think she drinks just a little bit. I actually
- 48:10do think she probably drinks a lot, and we've seen her over the years
- 48:14drinking a lot of tequila and loving to party, and I just I think
- 48:16that's probably who she is and what she does. But he probably drinks way
- 48:22more than she does. It sounds like it if he's drinking, I mean
- 48:23two bottles of the key he can hold. Well, they're they're at the
- 48:27Big Bear, they're partying. Hopefully he's not doing that every day. It's
- 48:30just the audacity of Jax to come for her like that, and just and
- 48:34also the other women screaming at them to tell him the truth. I'm just
- 48:37like, I mean, do that in front of my husband scream at me
- 48:40like that. I was shock that none of the other husbands said anything to
- 48:44Jacks for yelling at those girls. I know, talk about nobody being a
- 48:47real man, Like, what are you doing? Your husband would never never,
- 48:52Oh my god, please try it. No, absolutely, give him
- 48:53a reason. Oh my god, he's looking for a reason in his life
- 48:58for you to give him the one reason. He totally does. Your daughter's
- 49:01the same way, and she always is like, that's why God doesn't put
- 49:05nothing in my way, because all destroy people. Right, That's totally what
- 49:08it is. But yeah, I couldn't believe how Jack. Like last episode,
- 49:14Jacks is yelling at Brittany on the beach in front of everybody, and
- 49:16I'm like, that's embarrassing and cringe. And then you're having a full fledged
- 49:21screaming fight in front of everybody in this airbnb and I'm like, yeah,
- 49:27really mortifying. But I mean there's a difference between fighting in front of other
- 49:31couples and being super toxic and then also yelling at those dudes wives, like
- 49:37directing at somebody else besides Brittany, Like the moment you're starting to yell at
- 49:40these other women and being a dick about it, like you've just crossed the
- 49:45line, and I'm just like shocked, Like Jason, where are you?
- 49:47Danny? I think Danny actually went to bed. Johnny may have gone to
- 49:51sleep, I'm not sure. But like Jesse, with all your bravado,
- 49:53where are you? Oh? I forget you like to yell at women too,
- 49:57so you don't care. But I mean, it was interesting how later
- 50:00in the episode, Jesse starts to call out Jack's for his behavior and also
- 50:06how he might want to handle his wife and not do it in a group
- 50:07setting like he did. Speak up not in the moment. Yeah, but
- 50:12he did say something ultimately afterwards which was really interesting. I think it was
- 50:15like on the boat or something. He's like, yeah, you probably shouldn't
- 50:17have done that in front of everybody in Jackson is like, yeah, I
- 50:21should have. It's like, when am I supposed to bring it up?
- 50:23Because it happens all the time, and I'm very frustrated about it, and
- 50:27I've been dealing with it for so long, and I'm like, Okay,
- 50:30I get it. I understand that you're frustrated, but like, geez,
- 50:32this is the mother of your child. Maybe have a little bit more respect.
- 50:37Go get some couple's therapy, like Janet suggests to them, Like,
- 50:40which is the only reasonable thing that we've heard from Janet this entire time?
- 50:44Yep, yep. And jaxon his talking head is like, well, I've
- 50:47done therapy in the past, but it hasn't worked for me. And I'm
- 50:50like, oh, you're one of those yep, got it, just like
- 50:52la la. I can't with that. Yeah, that was really really bad.
- 50:57But then we see like the very next day, him and are talking
- 51:00and he's apologizing, kind like we've seen him apologize to her a lot for
- 51:05the way that he acts. But then he goes right back and comes right
- 51:07back in on his bullshit and starts doing it again, which is why she
- 51:10rolls her eyes, and she does not believe anything that he says, and
- 51:15in her interestitial on the couch with her big old bullsom the big old ball
- 51:19were flowing. Yeah, she's talking about like, I just can't do this
- 51:22anymore. It's really not working for me. And he doesn't listen to me,
- 51:27and he treats me like this all the time, and so she's at
- 51:31her wits end. I'm glad she's finally aware of that, but I'm like,
- 51:36why did it take you so long? But I shouldn't blame her for
- 51:38that. I guess like you were love but whatever. I can't understand.
- 51:44This kind of weird to me. But like when Jack's apologizes the next day,
- 51:49I was so grossed out because he's just like, yeah, I'm sorry,
- 51:52sorry, are we good now? And then he gets up and leaves
- 51:53like because she's like, yeah, it's okay, and she says in her
- 51:57talking head, this is how they always do it. They have a fire.
- 52:00He'll say sorry, but he doesn't mean it, and then he acts
- 52:02like everything's totally fine. Everything. I'm like, that is so bad.
- 52:07Yeah. See, if doctor Orna was here, a lot to say.
- 52:12And by the way, we're gonna be covering doctor Orny. Oh doctor Orna
- 52:15on couples Therapy on Patreon starting in June, if you guys want to check
- 52:20that out. But yeah, all of these marriages, all of these marriages
- 52:22have some problems. Oh yeah, what did you think about the guys on
- 52:27the boat talking about all of their marital issues and like Jesse calling out Jack's
- 52:30and Jack's being like, yeah, we're never gonna get divorced. I thought
- 52:35that was very interesting. I don't really understand Jesse, like coming in as
- 52:39an authority on marriages when yours is like absolutely broken. Yeah, and your
- 52:46wife hates you. Yeah, and you don't know how to be a good
- 52:50husband. Even though you're trying and getting your ayahuasca on, you're not really
- 52:53doing it. So I just didn't know how he had the balls to take
- 52:58all of these other husbands to task. But at this same time, he's
- 53:01not wrong. I know he's not wrong. Well, he's wrong about Danny.
- 53:05He said something to Danny about Nea wearing the pants, yes, and
- 53:09that he doesn't have confidence. Yeah, that because she is more authoritative and
- 53:15she's more assertive. He doesn't have the pants and he doesn't have the confidence
- 53:20or whatever. I thought that was wild, And like, Dan, I
- 53:22mean, you've got to be very careful when you say something like that to
- 53:25your point, which you had just mentioned. But like, I also haven't
- 53:28seen that with Nia. No and Danny. They have like a very beautiful
- 53:31partnership. It's like lateral, it's it's fifty to fifty. They're both doing
- 53:36it together. I haven't seen her pushing him around. I haven't seen her
- 53:39dictating anything other than telling him to shut up at the table, like don't
- 53:43get into the problem. Yeah no, And like, I mean that's a
- 53:45fair point too, Like I wonder what the context is, Like, Danny,
- 53:47you don't need to put your two cents into all of these other people's
- 53:52fucked up lives, Like you're a man of quality, I assume hopefully if
- 53:55you're not a misogynist. But yeah, I don't know what what's his face?
- 54:00Jesse was getting at with Danny, Like, I don't know why you
- 54:04were saying that she wears the pants? Why because she's got a black belt
- 54:07in taekwondo, and she's kind of a confident woman and she says her mind,
- 54:10like, what are you getting at? I think it's very telling that
- 54:15when he got really drunk and rambunctious, he picks on Danny, and I
- 54:19feel like because he's in such an unhappy relationship and he probably sees how well
- 54:23balanced Danny and Nia are and how in love they are, Like he's projecting
- 54:29bullshit onto them and trying to knock him down a peg because his ego is
- 54:32so fucking out of control. So that felt like bullshit to Meah, But
- 54:37when he was talking to Jack's, yeah, I felt like he was spot
- 54:40on, and it seemed in the moment like Jack's heard him a little bit.
- 54:45Well. He was telling Jackson he doesn't have to prove himself to anybody,
- 54:50doesn't have to prove himself to his wife. But I'm like he kind
- 54:53of does a little bit. I mean, Jack's, you're not doing a
- 54:57great job, and if you want to keep your marriage together, then you're
- 55:00to have to prove that up and you're gonna have to be a better person.
- 55:01You're going to have to show Brittany that. Yeah. But anyway,
- 55:06it felt to me like Jack's was taking the critique that his relationship wasn't as
- 55:09great as he was saying, and despite them not believing in divorce and they
- 55:14will never be separated and she's gonna have to bury him in the backyard and
- 55:16he's never leaving her and she is never leaving him, which obviously she has
- 55:21gone on to leave him. Huh. Yeah, he's just like also accepting
- 55:23that his marriage, just like Jesse's, is on the fence or on the
- 55:28rocks. Yeah, and struggling, which I thought was weird. I'm like,
- 55:31how can you believe not believe in divorce but then say at the same
- 55:36time, like you guys are struggling and having a lot of problems, Like
- 55:38you guys aren't screwing, You guys aren't affectionate. You guys cannot communicate,
- 55:44can't communicate at all. You freaking fight all the time. She's drunk.
- 55:46You're a drunk and probably a co kid. Like you guys are in shambles.
- 55:52And I think, like maybe what Jesse was trying to get at is
- 55:54like, dude, swallow your pride, Like, just admit that you are
- 55:59at fault, that your guys's marriage is failing. I know that sucks.
- 56:01I know that's a shitty feeling to feel, and like nobody wants to sit
- 56:06there and be like, yeah, we're having problems. We need to go
- 56:07to couple's therapy. Like it's really devastating, Like it's hard. Nobody wants
- 56:13to feel that. But swallow your pride and do it and be a man
- 56:15and work on your marriage if that's what you want, right, And I
- 56:19think on the couch, Jesse said that Jackson Brittany are where he and Michelle
- 56:23were a year ago, and it's really important at this stage in the relationship
- 56:29where things are starting to fall apart, that you see the signs and you
- 56:32like immediately address them. Because when they were having their man talk, I
- 56:36thought it was pretty poignant when Jesse said, you know, Michelle went this
- 56:39way and I kind of corrected to follow her, but she just kept on
- 56:44moving and so I never caught up to my wife, and we're not together
- 56:47in that way. So I think he's I think he's right. I think
- 56:52he sees the writing on the wall and he knows what's happening, but at
- 56:54the same time, his own shit is so broken that he doesn't really have
- 56:59a leg to stand on as an authority, What did you think As a
- 57:01side note, Yeah, what did you think of the Napoleonic complex conversation between
- 57:07so good between Jason and Danny. Oh my god, that was so good.
- 57:12Them trying to educate Jesse on what a napoleon complex is, because I
- 57:15forget how he was defining it. No, Danny was. Danny was saying
- 57:20that a Napoleonic complex was when you're a short dude and you want to date
- 57:23shorter women because you don't want them to be taller than you think. Jesse
- 57:27was saying that, No, that was Danny, and then Jason was saying,
- 57:30no, what a Napoleonic complex? It is somebody who is overcompense or
- 57:32compensating for being short by being asshole, which is exactly correct. And then
- 57:37they were disagreeing about that, and then they went on to google it and
- 57:39Jason's entirely right and Danny is wrong. They don't think Danny has a Napoleonic
- 57:45complex. I did date somebody with atapoleotical yeahs uncensored. I want to know
- 57:52all about it back from uncensored. So I don't think Danny has a Napoleonic
- 57:59complex. He does, though, for Jesse does this. That's why when
- 58:01I that's why his hair is this so he can make it to five to
- 58:05ten, honey. Yeah. And I think he even said Jesse's like,
- 58:07I only date girls were like five four and shorter because it makes me feel
- 58:13good about myself. And I'm like, is that what Jesse said? I
- 58:15thought Jesse said something about he only dates thick girls, he does, and
- 58:20short girls. Okay, thick and short, all right. I kind of
- 58:22tune out sometimes I'm talking because he's so fucking fulish. I can't with him.
- 58:25Thick girls and short girls. Yeah, and he was talking about how
- 58:28Michelle used to be thicker than beginning at their relationship. Oh my god,
- 58:31he'd probably looks you want some thickness. I'm down with the thickness, down
- 58:40with the yes. Okay. Now what we have to talk about is Zach
- 58:45and his ig story. Oh my god, because he made a story with
- 58:50just like a location pin which said Big Bear and implying, of course that
- 58:53he was in Big Bear. It was obviously a troll. It was pretty
- 58:57funny, hilarious. He goes over to Chris in this apartment. They have
- 59:00a spa day and they're just kind of cackling because I think it's really funny.
- 59:04It's like, not too petty. No, it's not too shady,
- 59:07it's just kind of cute. But Janet, on the other hand, first
- 59:12of all, she's checking his ig stories. Why yeah, why why you're
- 59:15so interested? She's crazy, She's crazy checking his ig stories. She sees
- 59:20it and she gets really concerned. Does that mean that him and Kristin and
- 59:23Luke are somewhere in Big Bear? Are they gonna care here? Do I
- 59:27need to call nine one one? I couldn't call down that Janet, And
- 59:31I can't remember which guy said it. I think it was like Jesse.
- 59:35I think Jesse rolls his eyes and he's like, dude, it chill out.
- 59:38They're not in the woods, like they're just being petty. They're probably
- 59:43drinking wine. Like it's fine, calm down. But like I said,
- 59:47she is chronically online. She is in those common sections. She is so
- 59:52concerned about what anybody is doing. Like, girl, you just don't have
- 59:55to care. Why are you checking his ig stories? Like what do you
- 59:59think he's going to do? For real? That's absolutely nothing. But you're
- 1:00:02trying to make a scene and you're also trying to further divide the group so
- 1:00:07that Zach and Kristin are no longer invited. I honestly think at this point
- 1:00:10in filming last summer, Janet believes she can get rid of Kristin. She
- 1:00:15can somehow get Kristin off the show and she can be the real star.
- 1:00:17I don't know why she would. It is so low down and dirty because
- 1:00:22it's Kristin who brought her onto the show. But I think at this point
- 1:00:24she believes that. And I'm just wondering to myself, Janet, what's happening
- 1:00:29in your mind as you see being chronically online? How everybody hates you?
- 1:00:34Right? Hey, everybody wants you on the show. By the way,
- 1:00:37sidebar the Valley was renewed for season two and they're bringing back the entire same
- 1:00:43cast. So unfortunately, Janet's coming back. Although maybe fortunately because maybe now
- 1:00:50other cast members are going to come for her ooh after seeing what she said,
- 1:00:53seeing what she did, and then reading the audience's vibe. I wish
- 1:01:00I want them to come for her. I wish they would just surprise us
- 1:01:02with the reunion at the end of this season and be like, yeah,
- 1:01:06we said no, but we heard you and we're gonna bring it back because
- 1:01:08everybody's bitching about it. Jesse even mentioned it on Watch What Happens Live on
- 1:01:12Tuesday Night. He's like, yeah, unfortunately, you know, we can't
- 1:01:15address some of these things because we're not having a reunion. I'm not sure
- 1:01:17why. And Andy didn't say anything to that. Yeah, oh my god,
- 1:01:21maybe I'll bring it on. They won't. They won't. They would
- 1:01:23have said so already they're not going to do it. And I don't know
- 1:01:25why. I mean, it would be great TV. You would have great
- 1:01:29ratings, so good, I mean, you would be able to kind of
- 1:01:30keep up with the momentum of VPR because it ends right before that. So
- 1:01:34I don't understand. But I just think Janet looks so dumb. Oh she
- 1:01:38looks so bad. Well what did you think when she got mad when Jesse
- 1:01:43shushed her? When she walked out and all the men were having their cry
- 1:01:45party, boy party. Yeah, and she's trying to tell them, hey,
- 1:01:49it's time to grill or it's time to eat, and Jesse say get
- 1:01:52out of here. We're talking. First of all, fuck you, Jesse,
- 1:01:55Jason, where are you again? Jason? That's your job to say,
- 1:01:58don't talk to my wife like that, right, And he doesn't right,
- 1:02:00And Jesse doesn't mean it, and I don't mean to defend him because
- 1:02:04I don't like him. Yeah, he doesn't mean it that way. And
- 1:02:07when she gets upset, he feels bad. But she gets really upset and
- 1:02:10she's like, I'm not out here cooking all of your dinners just for you
- 1:02:14to yell at me and dismiss me like that. I thought she was being
- 1:02:16a bit dramatic. Yeah, I understand she's pregnant. I understand she's got
- 1:02:21all his hormones and stuff. Okay, it's the shield for everything, though,
- 1:02:24I know, But like, chill, you guys are on vacation,
- 1:02:29everybody's drinking. They're just outside having a bro party. Make your food.
- 1:02:34Why do you have to serve them first? Like, why do you have
- 1:02:37to have them eat with you? Just make your food. She's like bit,
- 1:02:39She's like, I'm hungry and I want to eat. And Jason,
- 1:02:43you didn't defend me, which is fair, Like Jason should have done that.
- 1:02:45And he does apologize for it when he goes in to comfort her,
- 1:02:49and he's like, oh god, she's so fucking crazy. She's a lot.
- 1:02:52But he's like, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Yeah, he's
- 1:02:53been trained, he knows how to do that. He does. He's like,
- 1:02:57I don't like to see her cry, and I'm like, she must
- 1:02:59cry a lot then, yeah, yeah. But I'm just like, you
- 1:03:00were just being crazy, Janet. She just wants to control everything. She
- 1:03:04wants to be the hostess. She wants to be in charge of all the
- 1:03:06conversations. She does not want to be told to leave a room because they're
- 1:03:09having a grown up conversation without her, And I'm like, why do you
- 1:03:13care? Personally, I'm like, if somebody was like leave, I'm talking
- 1:03:15to be like hey bye, I would just say something smart, like say,
- 1:03:19come on, Janet, you got all this you got all this fire,
- 1:03:22you got all this spice. Why don't you tell him to go fuck
- 1:03:24himself and go right back in and eat a fucking hot dog. I'm not
- 1:03:28gonna let somebody talk to me like that. I'd be like, fuck you
- 1:03:30suck deep nuts, and Jason, what the fuck you pussy for? That's
- 1:03:35what I would have done. You're a little bit more fiery, well,
- 1:03:37but no. But Janet, in the moment, I mean, you're all
- 1:03:39talk, babe. You're all talk, and you're all behind the scenes with
- 1:03:43your machinations like put it on front street, bitch. Oh yeah, old
- 1:03:47Bailey, I'm always hiding behind her pregnancy a cow. But wait that they
- 1:03:52would come to big parents scare me when I pregnant. Nobody cares. A
- 1:03:58million women are pregnant right now in LA with you, and they're not being
- 1:04:01this crazy women been getting pregnant Jesus. I went like, what's your excuse
- 1:04:06going to be on season two when you're still a big old bitch. You're
- 1:04:11not pregnant and you cannot hide behind your belly. Yeah, what are you
- 1:04:14gonna do? Yeah? I don't know. She's just crazy in my opinion.
- 1:04:17Yes, we didn't cover Michelle and Jack's at the top of the EISO,
- 1:04:25Michelle and Jack's talking about the sexy pictures that Kristen said Michelle sent to
- 1:04:31some celebrity, which we don't know who that Celibert is. So Michelle says,
- 1:04:40I absolutely send pictures and things like that to my clients because that's part
- 1:04:44of networking as a realtor job. Yeah. He's like, okay, but
- 1:04:48we're talking sexy photos, like are you sending sexy photos? And she's like,
- 1:04:55absolutely not, and Ultimately, Jack's like, well, that's what's being
- 1:04:58said. Do you want me to tell your husband that this is the rumor?
- 1:05:01Or do you want to go tell him? And she's like, no,
- 1:05:03I'll tell him what's being said. So she marches up to the room
- 1:05:08where Jesse is and tells him that Kristen is now saying that she is sending
- 1:05:14sexy photos to people. And in the moment, it was curious to me
- 1:05:17because Jesse kind of had her back because he calls Jackson because he doesn't want
- 1:05:23to just hear it from his own wife and trust her opinion in judgment,
- 1:05:26so she has to call he has to call Jacks there, But in the
- 1:05:29moment he kind of has her back when he's like, well, I mean
- 1:05:31that's what we do as realtors. We send pictures, we maintain friendships,
- 1:05:35we party with people, that's what it is. But then on the interstitial
- 1:05:41and then like with the context that we have sort of behind the scenes,
- 1:05:44we realize that that's not okay. Yeah, and he's not happy with that,
- 1:05:47but he does try to kind of cover for her in the moment,
- 1:05:50which is sort of chivalrous a little man. I'm like, it's so weird.
- 1:05:57They're very weird to me because in his interstitial, Jesse's like, yeah,
- 1:06:00I'm always telling Michelle to go and give her number out to famous people
- 1:06:05and celebrities so I can get clients and stuff. I'm always telling her to
- 1:06:09like pimp herself out basically to all these people. So it's like, Okay,
- 1:06:13you guys have kind of like an arrangement going on. I don't think
- 1:06:15it's like he's telling her send titty picks, like he's not saying that.
- 1:06:20But he also says he didn't know about sexy pictures though, right, yeah,
- 1:06:25exactly, and she's of course denying it still, which I'm just like,
- 1:06:28girl, you're ready to leave him, so why don't you just say
- 1:06:31it? I know it's not the right time, but and I think on
- 1:06:34Watch What Happens Live, his response regarding the reunion has to do with whether
- 1:06:40he believed Michelle was sending sexy pictures and he wished he could have addressed it
- 1:06:45and other things in a reunion. But I also think he said he said
- 1:06:50or he made like she did actually send a sexy pictures. I believe also
- 1:06:56on Watch What Happens Live, it was Mary fuck kill for Jesse, and
- 1:07:00it was who would you marry who? Jail It was Kristin, Nia and
- 1:07:05Janet, and he said, I'd marry Kristen and I don't want to answer
- 1:07:10the rest of the question. WHOA something like that. I mean, he
- 1:07:13kind of he was thinking about it. He's like, I don't want to
- 1:07:15answer the rest of the question. But I thought it was very interesting that
- 1:07:17he would choose to marry which is the highest I would say Nia would be
- 1:07:23the one he'd want to marry, but he chose to marry Kristen. So
- 1:07:26I'm wondering what's happening behind the scenes, if there's conversations, if there's re
- 1:07:29engagement of relationships, whether he's now friends with Kristin interest Yeah, maybe they
- 1:07:35are friends. That would be really cool to see, like on season two,
- 1:07:40like Kristen comes back and everybody turns their back against Janet. That would
- 1:07:44be so Chef's kiss perfect. But I bet it's because he didn't want to
- 1:07:47answer it because he would want to fuck Nia. He's kind of said it,
- 1:07:50like in the drag party that they had where he was like kind of
- 1:07:54talking about like threesomes or something, like everybody was talking about threesomes and a
- 1:07:58lot of people said, nia, but I want or if like maybe that's
- 1:08:00like a point of contention between him and Danny. And after I wonder and
- 1:08:04his girlfriend was in the audience. Oh, he said that, so Jesse's
- 1:08:09yeah, Jesse's got a girl. Jess, He's got a girlfriend. Michelle's
- 1:08:11got a boyfriend. And he said that Michelle and her new boyfriend were actually
- 1:08:15over to his house for like a dinner party and they were the last to
- 1:08:17leave. And so they're on like good terms. Ye, they're on good
- 1:08:20terms. They're having a good relationship. I mean, that's good for your
- 1:08:24kid. It's kind of weird, though, it is a little odd who
- 1:08:27would want to date Jesse? I know, who thinks in their right mind?
- 1:08:30I don't know. I want to talk that. You know. I
- 1:08:32keep thinking that we're in twenty twenty four and men should know how to be
- 1:08:38good people. Yeah, just like women should know how to be good people.
- 1:08:41But you have these men out here like Diddy, you have these men
- 1:08:44out here like Jesse. Not that they're just they're not the same. I'm
- 1:08:46not trying to say they're the same, but like you have these toxic masculinity,
- 1:08:49these dudes that haven't learned anything oh yeah, Like, I don't know
- 1:08:53who would want to be with him. He's unenlightened and he's not necessarily good
- 1:08:58to women and or children. It's just like Jack's and Sandbal and Schwartz and
- 1:09:01all these other dudes, like all of you suck. Yeah, even James
- 1:09:05allegedly like all of you suck. Now. Jesse did say on Watch What
- 1:09:11Happens Live with regard to the hallway incident with Kristen and everybody else where,
- 1:09:15he was acting like a damn fool. Yeah, that he was definitely in
- 1:09:17a bad place. He was in a very reactive state of his life,
- 1:09:20and like he wished he would have handled it differently. Well that's good.
- 1:09:24He didn't come straight out and apologize for it, but he did seem to
- 1:09:26acknowledge that he was acting like an asshole. So maybe he's becoming conscious,
- 1:09:30like Ai, becoming self aware that like he needs to make some changes in
- 1:09:33his life, and hopefully he does. Well, maybe the ayahuasca did help
- 1:09:38him. Maybe he had a breakthrough and he go dead they break Was there
- 1:09:42anything else in this episode that was in tel Us? I mean that was
- 1:09:45pretty much it. I mean Jason and Jesse were totally calling Jackson at the
- 1:09:49very end, saying that he was in denial of the state of his marriage.
- 1:09:54And I thought that was super based, And I'm like, I'm glad
- 1:09:57the guys can see that. Brittany, I don't know. I'm like,
- 1:10:01the way she reacted with Jacks, I'm like, what do you mean?
- 1:10:05Just well, like not bad on her part, like she's right to be
- 1:10:09mad and everything, but I'm just like, yikes, you guys are in
- 1:10:12such a bad spot to like be fighting in front of everybody. I mean,
- 1:10:15when you're fighting in front of your friends, that's bad. It's really
- 1:10:18bad. You're on your way out. Yeah, it's so awkward for everybody
- 1:10:24to be in the room with y'all. So awkward, And I'm glad that
- 1:10:27all the girls were like supporting Brittany and everything and just like being there while
- 1:10:30she cries as her husband straight up screams at her for being a drunk.
- 1:10:33And you know, I think she has a fair point where he's totally trying
- 1:10:38to make her out to be like this horrible, terrible person. And that's
- 1:10:41where I was saying earlier. I'm like, I don't know if she is
- 1:10:44a full on fledged drunk, I would hope not, because she's got a
- 1:10:46kid and everything. It seems like Jack's, like you've been saying all season,
- 1:10:50He's trying to make her look bad for custody and for like the inevitable
- 1:10:55divorce. Do you believe him when he says that he doesn't believe in divorce
- 1:10:59and that he would ever be separated. I mean, obviously they are separated,
- 1:11:01and obviously Brittany has agency so she can leave if she wants to,
- 1:11:05But like, do we think he really wants to save this marriage? I
- 1:11:11I'm gonna go uncensored. Well, let's come back from uncensored. Yeah,
- 1:11:14thank you for sharing that tidbit. And if you guys want to hear the
- 1:11:16uncensored did bits, well then you have to subscribe to our pagerey On.
- 1:11:20But what we were talking about, whether we believe Jacks and him saying that
- 1:11:25he's just not the divorcing kind, and do we think that he really wants
- 1:11:29to save this relationship or is it for appearance's sake that he says these types
- 1:11:32of things? Yeah, totally for appearances. I mean I think he doesn't
- 1:11:36want divorce as a label, Like he doesn't want to be somebody who's divorced
- 1:11:41in his mid forties and single, kind of like Schwartz being like, oh
- 1:11:45God, now I'm forty something and I'm single. This is miserable. Or
- 1:11:48Jesse talking about being forty two. Well he's now forty four and being single
- 1:11:51and having a kid, Like he doesn't want that. It's a failure to
- 1:11:55a man, Yes, And I mean it's fair, it's a fair point,
- 1:11:59Like it's a failure to a lot of people. Like people think divorce
- 1:12:01is like such a terrible thing, but at the same time, it's like
- 1:12:04it is what it is. Like if you guys get together and your marriage
- 1:12:09sucks and you've tried everything in your power to fix it and couples therapy and
- 1:12:14YadA, YadA, YadA, and it's still not working, that's fine,
- 1:12:16break up, pull the plug. It's fine. Yeah, But there's there's
- 1:12:20still such a stigma around divorce, which I just find interesting because divorce has
- 1:12:24become so much more like common nowadays, Right, there's still that heavy stigma,
- 1:12:30like people still look at you like, oh, you're divorced. I
- 1:12:32just found it interesting. I'm like, does Jacks really have that kind of
- 1:12:35a traditional value around marriage and around his wife and like I just I'm like
- 1:12:43dubious that he has any values. Like, yeah, the way you act
- 1:12:45like you have no home training, but like you have this particular traditional value
- 1:12:49was just a little wild to me, a little weird a little bit,
- 1:12:51but I thought it was interesting. Yeah, so did we have a preview?
- 1:12:56We did, right, What did we see in the preview? Yeah,
- 1:12:58there was some issue with Jackson Brittany, and then there's issues with Danny
- 1:13:02and Nea, right, and that was kind of it. It was like
- 1:13:04the last bits of Big Bear, and I think zach'son there somewhere. It
- 1:13:09is really unfair. Can I just lodge a complaint with management? Sure?
- 1:13:13It is really unfair that they're going to spend three whole fucking episodes out of
- 1:13:16twelve. I don't know how to do math, but like, isn't that
- 1:13:18like thirty percent or something of the entire season? Three whole episodes with no
- 1:13:26Kristen and no Zach. Which is why again, Zach got really upset because
- 1:13:30he knew what this actually meant in terms of the show, and that by
- 1:13:34him not being able to go and being able to film, he might not
- 1:13:38get money, but he also might not be able to be asked back because
- 1:13:41he doesn't have enough FaceTime with the cast and in front of the camera,
- 1:13:44so he knew what this would potentially cost him. Yeah, and I'm just
- 1:13:46like, why are we spending three whole episodes on a baby moon orchestrated by
- 1:13:53Janet without Kristen, who is the o g that she needs to be there
- 1:13:58and the production company to make sure that she's there. And by the way,
- 1:14:01if you're going to refuse to film with somebody, then get the fuck
- 1:14:04off the show. Janet and Michelle, first of all, we don't need
- 1:14:08you, we don't like you. By like, you shouldn't be able to
- 1:14:10as a reality cast member to say well, I'm not Giselle from Potomac,
- 1:14:14I'm not going to film with Candace or I'm not gonna film with this other
- 1:14:16person. Well, then you shouldn't be on the show at all. And
- 1:14:20they really need to knock Janet down a pig. And Michelle like, if
- 1:14:24you want to come back season two, you have to film and we're not
- 1:14:27icing anybody out. Yeah, especially Kristin. I agree with that. That's
- 1:14:30a really good point and just feels super weird, Like even on VPR,
- 1:14:34it's kind of the same thing with Arianna refusing to film with Sandoval, but
- 1:14:38then she inevitably does because it's probably part of her contract. But it's just
- 1:14:42like you're tanking VPR. It's totally gonna be canceled. I feel like,
- 1:14:45in my opinion, it's gonna be shitty. Now you have this spinoff of
- 1:14:48the Valley and you have this bitch Janice on here that nobody wants, nobody
- 1:14:54wants jenbody asked for, nobody wants Michelle, nobody wants Jesse. They all
- 1:14:58suck. Isn't Michelle a dud? Oh my god? She brings nothing,
- 1:15:00no energy, nothing, nothing, And she's a liar, right, Like,
- 1:15:03why are you gonna be lying that it's not reality? If you're lying,
- 1:15:06yes, I don't want to see that because we can see through right
- 1:15:10through it. So yeah, it's just kind of interesting. I just don't
- 1:15:12want them to like do what they did with VPR on the Valley and ruin
- 1:15:15it there because I'm actually enjoying the Valley. I think it's interesting. I
- 1:15:17do as well. I think all these marriage dynamics, all this stuff like
- 1:15:21it's fascinating to me. I do as well. And as we have discussed
- 1:15:25previously, it's because they don't know how to be reality stars. You can
- 1:15:29see Jax trying to produce like Lawla right. You can see Jax and Brittany
- 1:15:32trying to advance certain storylines so as to deflect away from the problems that they
- 1:15:36have, although Jacks is also putting that on Front Street, which I love.
- 1:15:40I love to see him being a basket case. I love to see
- 1:15:42her barfing and being drunk all the time because that's real. But you can
- 1:15:45also see how he's trained in reality TV and he's trying to create a show.
- 1:15:49Jesse's not though, and Jasmine's not, and Zach is not, and
- 1:15:54all of these other people aren't, and so they're making like mistakes and showing
- 1:15:58their hand and I love to see it. I love too. That's what
- 1:16:00I want. That's what I want too. So they're all coming back for
- 1:16:03next season, and hopefully there's going to be some kind of a reckoning,
- 1:16:06because not having Kristin prominent in three episodes is a mistake totally. She should
- 1:16:15have been there. Can you imagine if she was there, like the kind
- 1:16:16of drama we would have seen, the kind of conversations we would have seen,
- 1:16:20the shit that she knows that she might have been talking about. But
- 1:16:24production allowed Janet to pull this power move, and now we've got this bullshit.
- 1:16:28I wonder why is it because of Kristen's whole racist stuff back then?
- 1:16:31Is that why? Maybe? You know? But I mean, if you're
- 1:16:34going to build a show around Kristin, then you shouldn't be worried about that,
- 1:16:39right because you are choosing to platform her again. So let her be
- 1:16:42on the show, I think. And I hope that the production company and
- 1:16:45Brava learns from this season and that they make sure that she's featured and that
- 1:16:51she's respected in this way in season two, and I hope that they allow
- 1:16:56her to comfort Channet and Michelle suck. Michelle, I mean, honestly call
- 1:16:59her out. You've bin lying you are anti LGBTQ. Yeah, you potentially
- 1:17:04might be racist, yep. I mean, I don't know if you're a
- 1:17:08Republican, that doesn't mean that you're racist, but like you might be all
- 1:17:11of these things that Janet said that you were. But we actually never got
- 1:17:14to have that conversation though, because of all the obfuscation and dog piling on
- 1:17:18Kristen. So let's have that conversation season two. Let's find out who you
- 1:17:21really are, Michelle, that would be nice, and Janet, but the
- 1:17:25producers even have all these bitches on the after show for VPR, Like Janet
- 1:17:30was on the after show at the very end, piping in with her dumb
- 1:17:32takes about this show. I might get off my television. Yeah, I
- 1:17:36just love though. Sorry, this is gonna be really petty, and I
- 1:17:40apologize in advance. As the old woman in the room, I feel like
- 1:17:44I get to say shady bullshit, shady bullshitty things. But like the what
- 1:17:49Janet's wearing in the after show, she's got this side boob girder arm fat.
- 1:17:55I noticed that this brisket fat pad just kind of pouring out from She's
- 1:18:00going to watch it back, and she's been watching it and she's going to
- 1:18:01be like so mortified because it does not look good. Girls. So she's
- 1:18:05sitting in that chair giving her opinion. But she got her whole brisket out.
- 1:18:10She got her whole brisk it's so bad. Oh we need is a
- 1:18:15smokerr Yeah, just we need to smoke her some coleslaws and beans. All
- 1:18:19right? Is there anything else about this season? This episode? Rather that
- 1:18:24was pretty much it? Okay, unless you had any other thoughts. I
- 1:18:28don't have any other thoughts in this entire head. So is there anything else
- 1:18:31that we need to say to these beautiful raccoons beddressed well? If you love
