- 1:04Speaker 2: For today's episode, Reality to the King, we have a
- 1:07Speaker 2: lot to discuss. A lot has been going on in
- 1:10Speaker 2: all of the Bravo land and today I am joined
- 1:14Speaker 2: by a friend of mine who is also like an
- 1:17Speaker 2: amazing journalist.
- 1:18Speaker 1: He also is a producer.
- 1:20Speaker 2: And he is also like a personality. But today we
- 1:26Speaker 2: are diving into an amazing article with an exclusive te
- 1:31Speaker 2: that he wrote about the state of Vanda pump rules.
- 1:35Speaker 2: We will also get into some housewife stuff as well,
- 1:39Speaker 2: but please rain drops help me and welcoming on my guests.
- 1:43Speaker 2: The One, Honey, the Only the Man. Jack Peter said,
- 1:48Speaker 2: thank you from the Daily Mail.
- 1:50Speaker 3: Honey, I feel like I've been trying to get on
- 1:52Speaker 3: Reality with the King since you've launched, so it's finally happened.
- 1:55Speaker 3: I had to move here from Australia fore to have
- 1:58Speaker 3: me on that. I'm here, so better let than never.
- 2:01Speaker 1: No, I love you so much.
- 2:02Speaker 2: It was funny, is I was on your podcast a
- 2:05Speaker 2: few years ago and you still have it unpopular?
- 2:08Speaker 3: Well you talk about the podcast, Yeah, I do it
- 2:11Speaker 3: on Patreon now, So I just I mean, I moved
- 2:14Speaker 3: to LA and I'm just so busy with work. I'm
- 2:16Speaker 3: trying to produce some shows and stuff behind the scenes.
- 2:19Speaker 3: It was just too much, so I do it on
- 2:20Speaker 3: Patreon now. But it was funny because I feel like
- 2:23Speaker 3: when I had you on my podcast, you were one
- 2:25Speaker 3: of my first guests. That episode did so well, and
- 2:28Speaker 3: that was before you had Reality with the King. It
- 2:30Speaker 3: was before you were doing a lot of podcasts. So
- 2:32Speaker 3: I feel like I got Colors King very early on.
- 2:35Speaker 3: I was like, I need to have anyone, and now
- 2:37Speaker 3: you're like so huge in this podcasting world.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Oh thank you.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Notice the people like you who envite me in the
- 2:44Speaker 2: podcast because we follow eachron on social media and you
- 2:49Speaker 2: were and it's funny because you just said, can you
- 2:51Speaker 2: go my podcast?
- 2:52Speaker 1: And I'm like, yes, I like you. We kind of.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Agree on the same things on Twitter. To think about you,
- 2:59Speaker 2: that's so interesting. You have the best, funniest takes. Even
- 3:03Speaker 2: if I disagree with you, I just like it when
- 3:06Speaker 2: you're funny and shady and listen, you're my type of
- 3:08Speaker 2: boy hoody.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Well, I'll just say I don't care what anyone thinks.
- 3:12Speaker 3: I will just say it, like so I will go there.
- 3:14Speaker 3: And I've actually, like I pulled back from tweeting about
- 3:17Speaker 3: housewives maybe like a year or two ago, just because
- 3:21Speaker 3: it was like, you know, the fandom is so intense,
- 3:23Speaker 3: and it's not that I care about getting hated on.
- 3:25Speaker 3: It was just like it just became exhausting. Like it
- 3:28Speaker 3: was just because you know, I would always have the
- 3:29Speaker 3: hot take, and I would just every day I would
- 3:31Speaker 3: wake up with you know, Garcells fans or like whoever,
- 3:35Speaker 3: or people you know get upset if I defend Erica
- 3:38Speaker 3: Jane or something. So I'm just like this is exhausting.
- 3:40Speaker 3: But you know, I like that you like to put
- 3:43Speaker 3: the unpopular opinions out there too. You always defend the villain,
- 3:46Speaker 3: like we're both Tamera fans, so yes.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Yes, no.
- 3:51Speaker 2: It's one of those things where it's like, I'm not
- 3:54Speaker 2: here to just join the popular vote. If we all
- 3:58Speaker 2: have the same opinion, that's great, you know, But one
- 4:02Speaker 2: thing I do, I never try to be on the
- 4:05Speaker 2: side of like what's correct, Like, oh well everyone feels
- 4:09Speaker 2: this way and join in. If I disagree, I'm gonna
- 4:12Speaker 2: say it. And it's okay to have a difference of opinions.
- 4:16Speaker 2: But let's get into the Vandam Pump rules of it all,
- 4:19Speaker 2: because it has been reported that the show is in
- 4:26Speaker 2: dire need of a possible reboot or is it a
- 4:32Speaker 2: cancelation or is it on pause indefinitely?
- 4:36Speaker 1: And I want to hear from you what is going on.
- 4:40Speaker 1: We love Vanda Pump rules.
- 4:43Speaker 2: You know, the show had a second win when the
- 4:45Speaker 2: scandal all drama of it all happened. Then last season
- 4:50Speaker 2: I think all of us felt like we're kind of
- 4:52Speaker 2: tired of little scandaval story that's dominating the storylines and
- 4:57Speaker 2: we want to see something different and fresh, and based
- 5:00Speaker 2: on the finale, it did appear that these co stars,
- 5:06Speaker 2: these cast mates were not in the best place, and
- 5:10Speaker 2: then at the reunion it was sort of like, oh,
- 5:12Speaker 2: they don't like each other, so what is going on
- 5:15Speaker 2: with band the Pump Rules?
- 5:17Speaker 3: Okay, so they are trying to figure out what to
- 5:20Speaker 3: do with this show because you know, I did an
- 5:22Speaker 3: article for Daily Mail and there was a few issues.
- 5:25Speaker 3: One of them was like, there's some salary stuff, but
- 5:27Speaker 3: really that's not the main thing. It's like, you can
- 5:29Speaker 3: always work out salaries. There's so many things you can
- 5:32Speaker 3: do when people go, well, I'm not going to film
- 5:34Speaker 3: unless they get this much money. But you know, people
- 5:36Speaker 3: usually buckle at the eleventh hour, So that's not really
- 5:39Speaker 3: the main thing. The main thing is just that this
- 5:42Speaker 3: is a show about a group of friends, and it
- 5:45Speaker 3: is so fractured at this point. Like it's not just
- 5:48Speaker 3: like the two people weren't film with each other. It's
- 5:50Speaker 3: like everybody has splintered off into their own little groups
- 5:54Speaker 3: and it's just kind of like, how do we organically
- 5:57Speaker 3: put these people back together. There's going to be resolution
- 6:02Speaker 3: where they can have fun together, where new storylines can
- 6:05Speaker 3: come out because everyone has kind of like dug their
- 6:07Speaker 3: heels in, Like there are so many people on this
- 6:09Speaker 3: show that are not talking to each other. You know,
- 6:11Speaker 3: Scandalval really raised everybody's profiles to the point that so
- 6:18Speaker 3: many of them are just like busy with their own ventures.
- 6:21Speaker 3: Like even Lala, Like she's on that Amazon freaking live
- 6:24Speaker 3: every day and she's probably making like good money on that,
- 6:26Speaker 3: and like you know, Ariana of course is like booked
- 6:29Speaker 3: and busy with ten different jobs, and Katie's got a
- 6:32Speaker 3: podcast now and the sandwich shop. I know that James Kennedy,
- 6:37Speaker 3: I think he actually may have made the most money
- 6:40Speaker 3: off Scandabal, even more than Ariana, because those DJing gigs
- 6:43Speaker 3: are so lucrative and he was just playing like he
- 6:46Speaker 3: was playing just like back to back shows. Like I
- 6:48Speaker 3: remember I even interviewed him for the season last season
- 6:51Speaker 3: promo and he was in a hotel room somewhere because literally,
- 6:55Speaker 3: like when they were not filming, he was off playing
- 6:58Speaker 3: DJ gigs. So really produces like how do we move forward?
- 7:04Speaker 3: Do we just bring everybody back and do a barewell
- 7:08Speaker 3: season and just see what happens? Do we get rid
- 7:10Speaker 3: of some people, do we bring back some old people?
- 7:14Speaker 3: Do we completely reboot it. Do we bringing new people
- 7:18Speaker 3: and they're trying to figure it out. So that's where
- 7:20Speaker 3: it's at.
- 7:21Speaker 1: So let's get into it.
- 7:23Speaker 2: Because the show started out, you know, season one, episode
- 7:27Speaker 2: one of this organic group of people who worked between
- 7:34Speaker 2: there was Sir Right and the Leablanca.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Is that is that correct?
- 7:40Speaker 2: Like those two restaurants, and they were friends, some are friendemies,
- 7:45Speaker 2: some were sleeping with each other. And Angie Cohen has
- 7:48Speaker 2: said publicly that when Lisa Banda pub and the producers
- 7:52Speaker 2: were talking about this show, he was even like, wait,
- 7:56Speaker 2: this is really happening, and when he saw the people
- 7:58Speaker 2: obviously great cast, young, And one thing that a lot
- 8:04Speaker 2: of people may not realize is Bravo took a big
- 8:07Speaker 2: risk with this show because the height of Bravo back
- 8:11Speaker 2: in that day was like these shows about middle aged
- 8:16Speaker 2: women who lived behind the gates and it was Housewives,
- 8:20Speaker 2: and then you have Million Dollar Listing, which was again
- 8:24Speaker 2: focused on at that time men, middle aged men with
- 8:29Speaker 2: these million dollar houses. Doc the Peruke was about a
- 8:33Speaker 2: group of cast members who lived in a shitty apartment.
- 8:37Speaker 1: You know. But what we all did when we were
- 8:39Speaker 1: first starting out.
- 8:40Speaker 2: They were waiters and hostess and waitresses and they didn't
- 8:46Speaker 2: have two pennies to rub some of them, and they
- 8:48Speaker 2: were trying to make it big in Hollywood, right, So
- 8:52Speaker 2: I want people to know that Bravo took a big
- 8:54Speaker 2: risk with this show. It paved off, it instantly became
- 9:01Speaker 2: and what are we like ten years later into this show,
- 9:04Speaker 2: and like you said earlier, La La is super rich,
- 9:07Speaker 2: the cats are millionaires. Do you feel like the show
- 9:11Speaker 2: has lost its plot with the fact that people enjoy
- 9:16Speaker 2: these twenty somethings who were trying to make it in Hollywood,
- 9:21Speaker 2: and now that they made it in Hollywood, the show
- 9:24Speaker 2: isn't what people bought into anymore.
- 9:26Speaker 3: Well, look, every show has to evolve to stay on
- 9:29Speaker 3: air for that long, especially a reality show, you know,
- 9:32Speaker 3: because you've got to follow people's reality. I think there
- 9:36Speaker 3: was a problem for a while where they really kept
- 9:38Speaker 3: trying to hang on to them working at the bar,
- 9:42Speaker 3: which they did for a long time. I mean, even
- 9:44Speaker 3: by like season three, vander Pump Rules was a blockbuster success,
- 9:49Speaker 3: So it wasn't even realistic at that point for them
- 9:51Speaker 3: to be working in these restaurants and being you know,
- 9:54Speaker 3: waiters and waitresses. So at this point it's ridiculous, But
- 9:56Speaker 3: I do feel like they had moved away from that
- 10:01Speaker 3: a lot, and then they started leaning into things where
- 10:03Speaker 3: like the Toms were opening their own bar, and then
- 10:06Speaker 3: Arianna and Katie were opening their sandwich shop. Also shout
- 10:09Speaker 3: out to Something about Her. I live near West Hollywood.
- 10:12Speaker 3: I go to Something about Her all the time. I
- 10:14Speaker 3: love her. The sandwiches are really good and they're affordable too,
- 10:18Speaker 3: like you get like a big serving. So for the
- 10:20Speaker 3: Something about Her haters, honestly like based some good sandwiches.
- 10:23Speaker 3: But anyway, I think they were evolving the show. I
- 10:26Speaker 3: think it's fine. It was like as long as these
- 10:28Speaker 3: were people that do hang out together, it made sense.
- 10:31Speaker 3: And like this group does know each other because you know,
- 10:34Speaker 3: I'm in Hollywood now and I'm going out and I
- 10:36Speaker 3: you know, I'm in the media, so I get invited
- 10:38Speaker 3: to these things and I'll go to an event and
- 10:41Speaker 3: it's like I'll see the people from the Valley and
- 10:42Speaker 3: then Sheen is there and you know, they're interacting and stuff.
- 10:45Speaker 3: So this is very much a real group. But it's
- 10:47Speaker 3: just at this point it's like not so much. I mean,
- 10:49Speaker 3: it's so fractured.
- 10:51Speaker 1: Yeah, and that seems to be the situation.
- 10:55Speaker 2: Do you think the cast is jealous of the fame
- 11:00Speaker 2: and notoriety that Arianna has received since the scandal mall scandal.
- 11:07Speaker 3: I think some of them are to varying degrees.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Who are some of them?
- 11:13Speaker 3: You think, Joh I think Lala is jealous, But I
- 11:16Speaker 3: will say that I think it's completely justifiable that she's
- 11:21Speaker 3: jealous because it's like Lala and the rest of the
- 11:24Speaker 3: cast like busted their fucking asses for this show for
- 11:27Speaker 3: like a decade, putting it all out there, the craziest drama,
- 11:31Speaker 3: and like it's all come out now that you know
- 11:34Speaker 3: Arianna and Tom Sandoval when they were together, like they
- 11:37Speaker 3: were having problems for a really long time, and they
- 11:39Speaker 3: were putting on like a facade for the cameras, and
- 11:42Speaker 3: Arianna like really didn't get involved in that much drama,
- 11:46Speaker 3: like she was doing seasons. I remember where it's like
- 11:49Speaker 3: her storyline was, I have anxiety and she would like
- 11:53Speaker 3: go over to like Lisa vander Pump's house have a
- 11:55Speaker 3: cup of tea, Like she was not doing anything interesting,
- 11:58Speaker 3: and it was literally at the point where it was like, girl,
- 12:00Speaker 3: if you were not part of this, like Tom sanderb
- 12:03Speaker 3: Old package, like you would not be on the show anymore.
- 12:05Speaker 3: And that's like no shade to Ariana, Like, you know,
- 12:07Speaker 3: I met her out once and she seemed lovely, and
- 12:10Speaker 3: you know, I'm happy for her success and stuff. I'm
- 12:12Speaker 3: not like an Ariana hater. But it's just like you
- 12:14Speaker 3: did not pull your weight on this show where you
- 12:16Speaker 3: have everybody else that is like cheating and getting into
- 12:20Speaker 3: these crazy scandals and fighting with each other and throwing
- 12:22Speaker 3: drinks on each other, like you did not do any
- 12:24Speaker 3: of that, and it's like she wasn't even you know,
- 12:29Speaker 3: sometimes some shows will have like the boring cast member
- 12:32Speaker 3: or the nicest cast member, but they serve like a
- 12:34Speaker 3: very important purpose, Like maybe they're the one that just
- 12:36Speaker 3: like cuts through all the bs, like Eileen was so
- 12:39Speaker 3: great on you know, Beverly Hills for that. They can
- 12:42Speaker 3: be really insightful.
- 12:44Speaker 1: I love Eileen. I missed her and I want her
- 12:47Speaker 1: to come back. Anybody that says send them back in the.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Mail, or you know the way she used to check
- 12:54Speaker 2: Brandy when Brandy was like Kyle, I'm sorry, ravedropts, I'm sorry,
- 13:00Speaker 2: like bird, but I gotta talk about this really bad.
- 13:02Speaker 1: Eileen is such an icon, a legend when Eileen had
- 13:05Speaker 1: a poker party and Kyle.
- 13:08Speaker 2: And Brandy had that physical contact where like Brandy like kind.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Of push Kyle and conflict whatever. And then Brandy is
- 13:17Speaker 1: reciting a story. I think to Kim, somebody maybe Lisa
- 13:20Speaker 1: Rena and I Lead listens to the story and.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Said, girl get a grip like and walked away, like
- 13:30Speaker 2: Aileen is so underrated. She is a fucking icon, a legend.
- 13:36Speaker 2: She is so funny and I'm sorry to interrupt your story.
- 13:39Speaker 3: I just have to say that, no, no, I love that.
- 13:42Speaker 3: I mean, any chance I can get to slip in,
- 13:44Speaker 3: and Eileen Davidson mentioned I will. I actually think she's
- 13:47Speaker 3: one of the top five Beverly Hills housewives ever. She
- 13:50Speaker 3: was incredible, and she was kind of like the first
- 13:53Speaker 3: one that was not afraid of Lisa Vanda Pump because
- 13:56Speaker 3: some of the other girls went against Lisavanda Pump and
- 13:58Speaker 3: then they would buckle, but like Eileen didn't give a fuck,
- 14:01Speaker 3: like she went there. She people forget that, like if
- 14:06Speaker 3: you go back and watch that season, Lisa Rinner is
- 14:09Speaker 3: kind of trying to like straddle the fence because she
- 14:11Speaker 3: hadn't fully turned on vander Pump yet, and Eileen was
- 14:15Speaker 3: kind of the one that's like, no, what vantam pub
- 14:16Speaker 3: is doing is fucked up. Girl, Like snap out of it.
- 14:19Speaker 3: And she kind of like got Lisa Rinner to become
- 14:21Speaker 3: like who she became. So anyway, shout out Eileen, But
- 14:25Speaker 3: I'm just saying that Ariana was no Eileen. She was
- 14:29Speaker 3: no Cynthia Bailey, she was no nothing. And I get
- 14:35Speaker 3: why people would be jealous because it's like, girl, you
- 14:37Speaker 3: did the least on this show and then became not
- 14:40Speaker 3: only the biggest star on the show, like one of
- 14:42Speaker 3: the biggest stars in reality TV period. You are getting
- 14:46Speaker 3: booked in movies, you were on Dancing with the Stars,
- 14:49Speaker 3: you were hosting Love Island, you were making millions from
- 14:53Speaker 3: the best social media endorsements. So the jealousy is completely
- 14:59Speaker 3: fined by me. And I am a fan of La
- 15:01Speaker 3: LA's as well, because you know, I've always found laa
- 15:05Speaker 3: kind of annoying. But I feel like that last season
- 15:09Speaker 3: she was so brave to be the one to put
- 15:13Speaker 3: her hand up and be like, you know what, I'll
- 15:15Speaker 3: fucking say what we're all thinking, because we cannot have
- 15:18Speaker 3: a whole season where every single person on the cast
- 15:21Speaker 3: is scared to question anything, to do with Oriana just
- 15:24Speaker 3: because she's a fan favorite. So Lala was like, yeah,
- 15:26Speaker 3: I'm gonna be the one that goes who gets cheated
- 15:28Speaker 3: on and becomes Beyonce. And of course, you know, the
- 15:32Speaker 3: person that I think that works the hardest on these
- 15:36Speaker 3: shows is often the most hated on. Like I mean,
- 15:39Speaker 3: that happened to Lisa Rinna, it's happening to Tamra now,
- 15:42Speaker 3: Like not to get into all the OC of it all,
- 15:44Speaker 3: but it's like, girl, I imagine if Alexis and Tamra, like
- 15:47Speaker 3: imagine they didn't bring Alexis back and Tamra wasn't clocking
- 15:50Speaker 3: in on this season of OC, like, you wouldn't even
- 15:52Speaker 3: really have a season. So anyway, shout out to the villains.
- 15:56Speaker 2: Now, listen, you don't love the villains because they entertainers
- 15:59Speaker 2: in you guys cannot have every bill and get fired
- 16:04Speaker 2: from the show. Sean sa Tama judge who I know
- 16:07Speaker 2: Jock also is a fan of as well. So speaking
- 16:11Speaker 2: of villains, la La has emerged as this villain only
- 16:16Speaker 2: because she did what you said. She addressed the elephant
- 16:21Speaker 2: in the room that we're all dancing around the fact
- 16:24Speaker 2: that all of us but I'll say it, but we
- 16:26Speaker 2: all feel this way that this woman has to come
- 16:28Speaker 2: Beyonce because she got cheated on and the woman who.
- 16:31Speaker 1: Gave the leads to the show by proxy got cheated
- 16:36Speaker 1: on by the star.
- 16:38Speaker 2: Of the show Tom And all of a sudden she's
- 16:41Speaker 2: getting the main segment on the view where they changed
- 16:47Speaker 2: the entire set to replicate.
- 16:51Speaker 1: What was it? Sir?
- 16:52Speaker 2: I think they tried to replicate it was And the
- 16:54Speaker 2: whole time with be Goldberg is like, what is going on?
- 16:58Speaker 2: But I guess this is a big deal. We'll we
- 17:00Speaker 2: go work in That second was so funny because she's
- 17:02Speaker 2: sort of like, Okay, so you got cheated on.
- 17:07Speaker 1: Your boyfriend, got it? What else is Nio like?
- 17:14Speaker 2: But so so Lala listen to La LA's point, Arianna
- 17:19Speaker 2: did emerge like you said to become in twenty twenty four,
- 17:24Speaker 2: and I have to give it to her. She is
- 17:26Speaker 2: the biggest starm Bramo like she is in twenty twenty four.
- 17:32Speaker 2: She she really is. Not too many people can say
- 17:35Speaker 2: they're hosting the number one daty show on Peacack, a
- 17:38Speaker 2: show that has international appeal. She also did a this
- 17:44Speaker 2: This After Emmy's Fashion you Know special with Nini leaks
- 17:51Speaker 2: and Justin Silvester on e she was Roxy in Chicago.
- 17:56Speaker 2: You know, so if you are Laala or the other women,
- 18:00Speaker 2: you know, Sena, if you are these these these women
- 18:04Speaker 2: who gave so much personal story to the show, I
- 18:08Speaker 2: understand why Lalla is frustrated. I too would be frustrated
- 18:13Speaker 2: if I gave my blood, sweat and tears to the show.
- 18:18Speaker 2: And now we're forced to see this woman emerge as
- 18:21Speaker 2: the star. So what we did learn at the reunion
- 18:25Speaker 2: and what we learned this article is the fact that
- 18:28Speaker 2: the show is a hit, and allegedly the cast is
- 18:33Speaker 2: asking for more money, and allegedly your sources is saying
- 18:38Speaker 2: that the network feels that this show is becoming too
- 18:42Speaker 2: expensive to even do another season.
- 18:46Speaker 1: If they're able to do one currently.
- 18:49Speaker 3: Well, you know they're figuring it out, because you have
- 18:51Speaker 3: to remember, it's a this is a huge cost, like
- 18:54Speaker 3: this is a bigger cost than other shows. And with Bravo,
- 18:58Speaker 3: you go up more money the law longer that you
- 19:00Speaker 3: stay on the show, and this will go into season
- 19:03Speaker 3: twelve now, and then people did negotiate pay rises after Scandaval,
- 19:09Speaker 3: So there's definitely a financial element that they're trying to
- 19:12Speaker 3: figure out. But again, it all goes back to like
- 19:15Speaker 3: at the end of like you can always figure out
- 19:17Speaker 3: financial stuff. Like I know, I'm not going to name
- 19:20Speaker 3: who it is, but I know that there was a
- 19:21Speaker 3: cast member a couple of seasons ago who actually was
- 19:26Speaker 3: demoted and people could but they still were showing up
- 19:29Speaker 3: like a main But what happened was they were sort
- 19:32Speaker 3: of thinking, we don't know if this person's bringing enough,
- 19:35Speaker 3: so they switched them to like a to pay them
- 19:37Speaker 3: by scene instead of having like a lump sum. So
- 19:41Speaker 3: it's like they really had to like show up to
- 19:43Speaker 3: work to earn their paycheck. So there's always like different
- 19:46Speaker 3: things that they can do with people, but really they're
- 19:50Speaker 3: trying to figure out how to get this group back together.
- 19:53Speaker 3: And they definitely are auditioning new people because I went
- 19:56Speaker 3: to an event at SO the other week and one
- 20:00Speaker 3: of the bartenders was telling my friend about like, yeah,
- 20:03Speaker 3: you know, we've done some auditions for this. I'm like
- 20:05Speaker 3: dying to get on the show, like I've been watching
- 20:07Speaker 3: it for years, Like you have all these like thirsty
- 20:09Speaker 3: people that have come and got jobs at least Evanna
- 20:11Speaker 3: Pump's restaurants now, and they're hoping to be cast. But
- 20:14Speaker 3: it's like, we don't know yet if it's going to
- 20:17Speaker 3: be a situation where they keep some of the OG's
- 20:19Speaker 3: and then just bring in some new people, like you know,
- 20:21Speaker 3: mix it together. Are they going to do a complete reboot?
- 20:24Speaker 3: Like they are looking at every single option and just
- 20:26Speaker 3: like what makes the most sense, because you know, Vana
- 20:29Speaker 3: Parmon Rules is a great show, and I think that
- 20:32Speaker 3: it has a certain level of quality to maintain, Like
- 20:37Speaker 3: I don't think this is just a show that you
- 20:39Speaker 3: can just like throw down the toilet. So I think
- 20:40Speaker 3: they're really really trying to get this right because you know,
- 20:42Speaker 3: you see with some other reboots, some reboots work, like
- 20:46Speaker 3: with Miami when they kind of did that where they're like, Okay,
- 20:48Speaker 3: let's keep some of the ogs and then bring in
- 20:50Speaker 3: some new people that worked. They've obviously done that with
- 20:54Speaker 3: Atlanta coming up, which I don't know, I feel like
- 20:57Speaker 3: some of the stuff I'm hearing about the Atlanta reboots great.
- 21:01Speaker 3: And then they did it with Ronnie where they did
- 21:03Speaker 3: a complete recast, which is the worst show in the
- 21:06Speaker 3: history of Bravo to ever air. So they're trying to
- 21:08Speaker 3: get it right. Girl, you know it's true.
- 21:14Speaker 1: Wait, girl, you know it's true.
- 21:20Speaker 2: Okay, look, look, look, let's have a real conversation talk
- 21:25Speaker 2: about it.
- 21:25Speaker 1: Okay, and we're going to get back to bad. I
- 21:28Speaker 1: want to talk about one more thing, and they're going
- 21:29Speaker 1: to move on. Okay.
- 21:32Speaker 2: Are you saying to me you consider the Real Housewives
- 21:36Speaker 2: of New York City reboot that is currently in a
- 21:39Speaker 2: second season.
- 21:41Speaker 1: You said it's the worst showing Bravo ever.
- 21:44Speaker 3: In history, Like it is so bad, and I think
- 21:47Speaker 3: that probably Jenna Lyons may be the worst housewife of
- 21:51Speaker 3: all time. And the fact they keep trying to guess
- 21:54Speaker 3: her up, like I could not believe whoever had the
- 21:56Speaker 3: audacity to give her the tagline of not everyone can
- 22:00Speaker 3: be Jenna lines, but they can try to be or whatever.
- 22:03Speaker 3: It's like, girl, no one wants to be you, Like
- 22:06Speaker 3: no one knows who you are, Like they tried to
- 22:08Speaker 3: act like they cast like Donna Tella VERSACEI or something
- 22:11Speaker 3: on the show. It's like, girl, nobody outside of like
- 22:15Speaker 3: New York Fashion Circles that was reading the cut ten
- 22:18Speaker 3: years ago knows who you are. And like no, Shade,
- 22:21Speaker 3: I'm sure you're a talented design of a Like please
- 22:24Speaker 3: stop trying to pretend that we just cast like Carl
- 22:27Speaker 3: Lagerfeld or like Mark Jacobs, like girl you designed for
- 22:32Speaker 3: what was it? Like The Gap or Jay Crew or
- 22:34Speaker 3: something like twenty years ago, and then you bring nothing
- 22:37Speaker 3: to the show, Like she's so scared of drama. I
- 22:39Speaker 3: feel like she sits in the corner like chattering her teeth,
- 22:43Speaker 3: terrified to even say anything. And it's just a horrible
- 22:47Speaker 3: show like it is. I can't think of like one
- 22:50Speaker 3: to quote Eileen. I can't think of one nice thing
- 22:53Speaker 3: to fucking say about it, like it's just so bad,
- 22:57Speaker 3: And can we talk about the last episode? Actually, I
- 22:59Speaker 3: need an to this because you are I need to
- 23:01Speaker 3: get your thoughts. Did you watch the do you watch
- 23:04Speaker 3: the last episode?
- 23:05Speaker 2: Okay, now, okay, I'm gonna be very honest with you,
- 23:08Speaker 2: because I'm honest with my rain drops Johns, I'm gonna
- 23:10Speaker 2: be honest with you. I watched all of the episodes,
- 23:14Speaker 2: plus the two par reunion of the reboot season one,
- 23:17Speaker 2: like well, the first season of the reboot.
- 23:21Speaker 1: I watch every episode. I too, and.
- 23:24Speaker 2: I'm gonna answer questions, but I gotta get some context.
- 23:27Speaker 2: I watch every episode the two ParvE reunion. I was
- 23:31Speaker 2: intrigued by them, and I liked them.
- 23:34Speaker 1: I wasn't in love with the show. I thought it
- 23:35Speaker 1: was amazing.
- 23:36Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, great effort, I'll watch it. And
- 23:41Speaker 2: I watched it in its entirety. I never understood the
- 23:46Speaker 2: high with Jenna Alliance, and this is the thing for me. Okay,
- 23:52Speaker 2: it's not Jennaaliant's fault that they are ushering her to
- 23:58Speaker 2: be seen as like this amazing cast that we, you know,
- 24:03Speaker 2: got on the show.
- 24:04Speaker 1: I really think listen, in my opinion, I think.
- 24:06Speaker 2: Jenna Lince is sort of like, I'm not doing this,
- 24:09Speaker 2: Like I think jennaal Lliance has a enough common sense
- 24:12Speaker 2: to know I'm a big deal in the fashion world,
- 24:15Speaker 2: and the people in the fashion world loved me and
- 24:17Speaker 2: adore me. This is reality television, and the Housewives audience
- 24:23Speaker 2: they want to look at tamer Judge, Kyle Richards, you know,
- 24:26Speaker 2: like you know, the leanne Lockins of them, like you
- 24:29Speaker 2: want to see people here, like really push the envelope.
- 24:32Speaker 1: And I even think she knows in this space, I'm.
- 24:36Speaker 2: Not a big deal to this audience and I and
- 24:39Speaker 2: I don't see the hype in her. So season the
- 24:44Speaker 2: second season of the reboot is up, and I said, okay,
- 24:49Speaker 2: let me watch the premiere.
- 24:50Speaker 1: I saw the trailer and I was like, I'll watch
- 24:52Speaker 1: the premiere, right.
- 24:54Speaker 2: So I'm watching the premiere of the second season of
- 24:58Speaker 2: the reboot of New York City, and job, after maybe
- 25:02Speaker 2: twenty minutes, I stopped watching it, and and I'm gonna
- 25:06Speaker 2: be honest with.
- 25:06Speaker 1: You, I said to myself, I don't care.
- 25:10Speaker 2: I and again, I watch all of last season, and
- 25:13Speaker 2: I did care what I saw, And I want to
- 25:16Speaker 2: get your opinion on this because you're watching it. What
- 25:19Speaker 2: I saw in the first twenty minutes were all they're
- 25:25Speaker 2: conscious of the cameras now because the New York New
- 25:29Speaker 2: Yorkers are savvy people, right, the New Yorkers are known
- 25:35Speaker 2: to be savvy and very much awhere was going on.
- 25:38Speaker 2: And I felt like their first season was great because
- 25:42Speaker 2: you know, they were being themselves and they didn't.
- 25:44Speaker 3: Know like, Okay, no great, Well.
- 25:47Speaker 1: I said, not great, but watchable?
- 25:50Speaker 3: Well, so kind I watch all of it.
- 25:53Speaker 2: So the second second the second season of the ReFood,
- 25:57Speaker 2: and I didn't.
- 25:58Speaker 1: I didn't. I just didn't care.
- 25:59Speaker 2: I'm like, there's no major storyline. You all are talking
- 26:03Speaker 2: about photoshooting and see.
- 26:05Speaker 1: And said, I have something's going on. I don't give
- 26:08Speaker 1: a shit.
- 26:09Speaker 2: So I to answer your question, I haven't seen any
- 26:14Speaker 2: episodes this season now on Twitter.
- 26:19Speaker 1: I've heard some things, but ask your question.
- 26:22Speaker 3: Okay, Well I was going to say you have a
- 26:24Speaker 3: correct assessment because they I mean, I think there were
- 26:28Speaker 3: camera aware season one, like they were very aware. This season.
- 26:32Speaker 3: It is to another level where the real show is
- 26:36Speaker 3: completely happening off camera. This is a show about nothing.
- 26:39Speaker 3: They said Seinfeld was a show about nothing. The Rony
- 26:42Speaker 3: reboot is a show about nothing. And what they just
- 26:45Speaker 3: did on the latest episode and I could not believe
- 26:49Speaker 3: that they aired this, And as a producer, I want
- 26:51Speaker 3: to get your take is I mean, it was the
- 26:54Speaker 3: worst episode, not again. Nothing was happening, and then Uber
- 26:57Speaker 3: was like angry about something kind of didn't make sense
- 26:59Speaker 3: and it was ridiculous. And then they showed this clip
- 27:02Speaker 3: at the end where Brin and then Rebecca Minkoff, the
- 27:06Speaker 3: scientologist who doesn't want to talk about scientology, which is
- 27:09Speaker 3: the most interesting thing about her, and they're sitting there
- 27:12Speaker 3: and Brinn says something like, girl, I can't believe you
- 27:16Speaker 3: brought like, you know, three whole suitcases on the trip
- 27:19Speaker 3: and you haven't even changed your outfit yet, and Rebecca
- 27:21Speaker 3: was just like, yeah, you know, I'm in fashion, like
- 27:24Speaker 3: I travel with a lot of stuff. And then Brinn
- 27:26Speaker 3: was like, girl, like, if I say something like that
- 27:28Speaker 3: to you, you need to like throw it back to
- 27:30Speaker 3: me and be like, well, I work in fashion and
- 27:32Speaker 3: you sell merchant Bravo can't. And Rebecca's like, oh, I
- 27:36Speaker 3: don't know, I'm not really a mean girl like that.
- 27:38Speaker 3: And Brinn's like, well, you're not gonna last long in
- 27:40Speaker 3: this group if you don't do that, Like, come on, girl.
- 27:42Speaker 4: So they showed her coaching that air her to have
- 27:45Speaker 4: they aired it, and I was shocked because I'm like, wait,
- 27:52Speaker 4: So I'm trying to figure out.
- 27:53Speaker 3: I'm like, did they air this because they just have
- 27:55Speaker 3: absolutely nothing going on on this show that that's the
- 27:57Speaker 3: only interesting thing they can show or are they almost
- 28:00Speaker 3: just like you know what, like I don't even know
- 28:01Speaker 3: if we're going to fucking bring this show back off
- 28:03Speaker 3: to this year. Nothing's everything's happening off camera. Let's just
- 28:08Speaker 3: let's just throw them under the bus and do it. Like,
- 28:12Speaker 3: what do you why would they air that as a
- 28:14Speaker 3: producer showing people concocting fights on camera.
- 28:18Speaker 1: Oh, honey, Houston, Well, in this case, New York. We
- 28:21Speaker 1: have a problem. Ah my.
- 28:25Speaker 2: Nine times out of ten is what you said in
- 28:29Speaker 2: the former nothing's happening, and this is what drama they
- 28:33Speaker 2: can show you. Obviously, there's tons of breaking the fourth
- 28:39Speaker 2: wall moments that happens on these shows that you do
- 28:42Speaker 2: air because a it's fucking good and interesting and read
- 28:47Speaker 2: the audience love A forth the wall being broken when
- 28:49Speaker 2: it's something interesting that's about to happen, or when you.
- 28:53Speaker 5: Unveil like no, girl, you told me this to get
- 28:57Speaker 5: her like the camera shit and and friendship debacle over
- 29:02Speaker 5: the receipts of the text messages of the fourth wall
- 29:06Speaker 5: being broken.
- 29:06Speaker 1: Investigate this person. We could talk about it on camera
- 29:09Speaker 1: like that's interesting and and and and you.
- 29:12Speaker 2: See that in result of it, by this big fight,
- 29:15Speaker 2: Shannon Lee takes up my thought or whatever to have
- 29:18Speaker 2: that love conversation about clothes.
- 29:25Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but not only to it's it's a different
- 29:28Speaker 3: kind of fall fall break because it's not like, well
- 29:30Speaker 3: you said this soft camera to set me up. It's
- 29:32Speaker 3: literally like, girl, we need to have a fake fight,
- 29:35Speaker 3: so something happens on this show, like to break it
- 29:37Speaker 3: to that level as like never been done before. I
- 29:40Speaker 3: was like you're almost like tanking the entire network, like
- 29:43Speaker 3: this is beyond showing how the sausage is made, like
- 29:46Speaker 3: this is crazy, like you cannot hit this shocked down the.
- 29:49Speaker 1: Air and I'm curious to see you. So that was
- 29:53Speaker 1: that a cliffhanger that ended the episode.
- 29:57Speaker 3: No, So it was interesting. So they kind of slid
- 30:00Speaker 3: in there and it was kind of subtle, and they
- 30:03Speaker 3: I don't think they had the cameras on them when
- 30:05Speaker 3: they did it, so I think that they thought that
- 30:08Speaker 3: they were that they could have that without it being
- 30:11Speaker 3: but you know, obviously they're on the hot mic. But
- 30:13Speaker 3: then another they get into another fight that's about an
- 30:17Speaker 3: off camera thing. So they all go to bed and
- 30:19Speaker 3: then they're recounting in their confessionals because of course nobody
- 30:22Speaker 3: does anything on camera on this fucking snooze festiv a show.
- 30:26Speaker 3: And what had happened is like Uber's been like charging
- 30:30Speaker 3: through the house like I mean, she's on, she's just
- 30:34Speaker 3: like she's loopy. It's like hard to figure her out.
- 30:36Speaker 3: And then you know Brin who is you know, she's biracial,
- 30:40Speaker 3: which she revealed last season. They're talking off camera and
- 30:44Speaker 3: Brinn was like, girl, like you need to like chill,
- 30:46Speaker 3: because you're going to come off like the angry black woman.
- 30:49Speaker 3: You look crazy, and you're gonna look like the angry
- 30:52Speaker 3: black woman on this show this you know German banker
- 30:56Speaker 3: Oliver that your dating is going to leave you when
- 30:58Speaker 3: they see this played back. You look crazy girl?
- 31:01Speaker 5: What?
- 31:01Speaker 3: And then Uber apparently, but this all happens off camera
- 31:04Speaker 3: and they're telling you what happened in the confessionals because
- 31:08Speaker 3: obviously the producers must have sins like you know what
- 31:11Speaker 3: is going on now, like Uber, like why are you
- 31:13Speaker 3: out at Brin or something? And they've had to like
- 31:15Speaker 3: drag it out of them to like say this in
- 31:17Speaker 3: their confessionals. So then they told the story about how
- 31:20Speaker 3: they had to fight about that, and then that's what
- 31:21Speaker 3: the cliffhanger kind of is.
- 31:24Speaker 1: Ooh so Brin, Brin, You're okay.
- 31:27Speaker 2: So if that happened in the same episode and Brent
- 31:31Speaker 2: did two things to show that she has these off
- 31:33Speaker 2: camera conversations. Brian, you're the villain of season and you're
- 31:38Speaker 2: being exposed. This is this season may be the exposed
- 31:43Speaker 2: exposure of brn it seems like, and what's funny.
- 31:46Speaker 1: Is out of the whole cast, I like Brent a
- 31:48Speaker 1: lot last.
- 31:49Speaker 2: Season because she was like kind of refreshing to me, like, Okay,
- 31:53Speaker 2: she's wacky, she's funny, she's still like whatever. I think
- 31:57Speaker 2: you're right. I think it goes to show you that
- 31:59Speaker 2: nothing's happened. Nothing's happening.
- 32:01Speaker 1: They had to do this so interesting is.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Cy was on Jeff Lewis show before the season premiere,
- 32:11Speaker 2: You're shaking your head right, and she was called a
- 32:14Speaker 2: hot mic when somebody asked her like, how's this season
- 32:18Speaker 2: and she said that.
- 32:19Speaker 1: Quote kind of boring And I remember.
- 32:22Speaker 2: Watching that like cast member saying it in that way, like.
- 32:28Speaker 3: And she even said in that they were like, how's
- 32:31Speaker 3: the new girl, Rebecca, and she was like, Oh, she's
- 32:35Speaker 3: kind of boring, and like we're trying to you know,
- 32:37Speaker 3: people are trying to activate her, but she's not biting,
- 32:40Speaker 3: Like I'm trying to get it to go, and she's
- 32:42Speaker 3: not doing it. And then on top of that, Rebecca
- 32:46Speaker 3: Minkoff in one of her press interviews for the show,
- 32:49Speaker 3: she said, oh, I suggested to Jenna Lyons that we
- 32:52Speaker 3: have a like that we stage a fight about who's
- 32:55Speaker 3: the most fashionable. And then Jenna Lyons was like, girl,
- 32:57Speaker 3: I'm not doing nothing.
- 32:58Speaker 1: You buy.
- 33:00Speaker 3: So it's just a whole lot of like, it's a
- 33:02Speaker 3: show about people that are trying to create a fake show,
- 33:06Speaker 3: is what this show is about.
- 33:07Speaker 1: Now that's not good, child.
- 33:10Speaker 2: We are just getting started. This is reality with the
- 33:25Speaker 2: King and I'm Carlos King. Let's get back into the show.
- 33:31Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, Jock, well, I'm telling you me.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Watching the first twenty minutes of this current season, the
- 33:38Speaker 2: premiere event, I'm just like, I'm not into it.
- 33:41Speaker 1: And I thought like, well, maybe you're tired and it
- 33:43Speaker 1: just having a bad day. But I didn't.
- 33:46Speaker 2: I didn't feel the urge to watch it, Like I'm
- 33:49Speaker 2: watching OC every week, like standing appointment, like I'm at drybar,
- 33:54Speaker 2: like get my hair done, like I need it.
- 33:56Speaker 1: I need it in my life. Right, I'm watching that religiously.
- 34:00Speaker 2: I don't care to watch New York City and apparently
- 34:02Speaker 2: I'm not missing anything.
- 34:04Speaker 1: So do you think.
- 34:07Speaker 2: That, based on what sounds to me like not a
- 34:11Speaker 2: great season of New York City Housewives, do you think
- 34:15Speaker 2: that the network may be a little careful with the
- 34:20Speaker 2: fate of what Vanda par Rules can be because it
- 34:23Speaker 2: goes to show you that you can't get rid of
- 34:27Speaker 2: everybody and starting to show, and you may do your
- 34:30Speaker 2: best working with the Vanda per Rules cast to figure
- 34:33Speaker 2: it out. Because one thing that the Daily Mail you
- 34:36Speaker 2: know you guys stated was that allegedly, before Scandalball happened,
- 34:42Speaker 2: it was going to be one final season of Vanda
- 34:44Speaker 2: par Rules, and that allegedly the Two Times were going
- 34:47Speaker 2: to have a spin off about Tom Tom.
- 34:50Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 34:50Speaker 3: Well, they've been trying to do different things, like if
- 34:53Speaker 3: people know their Bravo history, like The Valley was supposed
- 34:57Speaker 3: to happen years ago. What they were going to do
- 34:59Speaker 3: was they were going to spin off like star Cy
- 35:02Speaker 3: Jacks Kristen, like the vander pump Ogs, put them on
- 35:07Speaker 3: their own show, which ended up becoming The Valley, and
- 35:09Speaker 3: then Redo Vander Pump Wiles with the whole new bunch
- 35:12Speaker 3: of twenty somethings. And then when like COVID and BLM
- 35:15Speaker 3: and all the cancelations happened, then that got put on
- 35:18Speaker 3: Ice and then they were looking at doing like a
- 35:20Speaker 3: Tom Tom so the Tom Tom's spin off. So they've
- 35:23Speaker 3: been exploring a lot of different options. They're still looking
- 35:26Speaker 3: at potentially like even maybe doing two shows. It's like
- 35:29Speaker 3: everything is on the table and it's just it's like
- 35:31Speaker 3: putting a puzzle together of just like how do we
- 35:34Speaker 3: get the best product out there and make this work. Personally,
- 35:41Speaker 3: I kind of think that I think they should maybe
- 35:44Speaker 3: get rid of Ariana, which I know she's the biggest star,
- 35:48Speaker 3: but I think they could do it in a way
- 35:52Speaker 3: where Arianna still gets to look good. Arianna can just say, look,
- 35:55Speaker 3: I'm so busy at hosting Love Island and doing all
- 35:58Speaker 3: these other things. I'm just going to take a break
- 35:59Speaker 3: from them a pump for now, and then, you know,
- 36:02Speaker 3: if Katie wants to not come, I mean I would
- 36:06Speaker 3: hire even though Katie's very popular now at the moment,
- 36:08Speaker 3: I think Katie had a really great season, so I
- 36:10Speaker 3: do think she's like needed. But Katie also doesn't seem
- 36:14Speaker 3: to want to film with certain people. So I would
- 36:17Speaker 3: maybe hire Katie back as like a friend, and they'd
- 36:20Speaker 3: be like, girl, if you can like mix with the
- 36:21Speaker 3: group and everything, and it's like, we'll just upgrade you
- 36:24Speaker 3: back to like full time, like within a few weeks
- 36:26Speaker 3: of filming or something, but let's just see how it goes.
- 36:28Speaker 3: But I would take Ariana out because I feel like
- 36:32Speaker 3: everybody else can put their shit aside and film together
- 36:35Speaker 3: and then i'd put a few new people in there
- 36:37Speaker 3: and I would just do it like that and I
- 36:40Speaker 3: would see how it goes, and if it's not working,
- 36:43Speaker 3: then I don't know, make it a farewell season, and
- 36:47Speaker 3: I don't know produce it on the fly a bit,
- 36:49Speaker 3: but we do need another season. And I think last
- 36:52Speaker 3: season was actually good. I know a lot of people
- 36:54Speaker 3: hated it, and you were mentioning before as well that
- 36:56Speaker 3: like people watched it and they were like, we're a
- 36:58Speaker 3: bit sick of Scandabal, which is true. But it's like
- 37:01Speaker 3: production had no choice other than to produce the show
- 37:06Speaker 3: like that because Scandival was the biggest reality TV scandal
- 37:10Speaker 3: in like ten years pretty much, and you couldn't just
- 37:14Speaker 3: do a season where you're not addressing it. It's the
- 37:16Speaker 3: biggest thing ever. So it's like they were damned if
- 37:18Speaker 3: they did, damned if they didn't. And I think they
- 37:20Speaker 3: did the best. I think they did the best job
- 37:22Speaker 3: they could. And I actually found the season very interesting
- 37:26Speaker 3: because I could I could understand where everybody was coming from.
- 37:30Speaker 3: It's like, I can see why Ariana is really upset
- 37:33Speaker 3: that people aren't all having her back. I see where
- 37:35Speaker 3: Tom's coming from. I see why Sheen is kind of
- 37:37Speaker 3: like jealous, Like I felt like it was very interesting,
- 37:40Speaker 3: and I think with viewers of reality television, especially with Bravo,
- 37:45Speaker 3: what the audience tends to do is it's so hardcore,
- 37:48Speaker 3: like we're just team this person and we hate that
- 37:50Speaker 3: other person. But for me, when I watch Vanda Probabol's
- 37:53Speaker 3: last year, I'm like, I can see everybody's perspective. I
- 37:55Speaker 3: don't find one person to be specifically bad. So I
- 37:59Speaker 3: think the s and it's a really great cost, Like
- 38:02Speaker 3: that is a good cost. So you just have to
- 38:04Speaker 3: figure out how to get them together, whether it's bringing
- 38:07Speaker 3: in some new paople or not, and keep going. So
- 38:09Speaker 3: I definitely would not get rid of the show yet.
- 38:11Speaker 3: And the ratings are still good too.
- 38:12Speaker 1: That's yes, the ratings were still solid. It was definitely
- 38:15Speaker 1: still solid, and I agree with you.
- 38:17Speaker 2: I think, listen what I would do if it was
- 38:19Speaker 2: my show, I would make Ariana part time because you
- 38:24Speaker 2: want to see like the resolve of her and Tom.
- 38:27Speaker 1: Listen, we all want to see her and La La
- 38:29Speaker 1: go at it, right.
- 38:31Speaker 2: I do think Arianna has I've grown the show too,
- 38:36Speaker 2: and I think let her continue to host the number
- 38:40Speaker 2: one dating show Peacock. It's a great gig for her,
- 38:42Speaker 2: let her experience everything she wants to experience outside of
- 38:45Speaker 2: the show.
- 38:46Speaker 1: Because listen, I was.
- 38:49Speaker 2: Hard on her last season because I'm like, okay, girl,
- 38:51Speaker 2: like film with Tom, like film with him, Like it's
- 38:54Speaker 2: not the end of the world.
- 38:55Speaker 1: But she feels that uncomfortable.
- 38:58Speaker 2: Then it's like, Okay, we heard Ulama, clear, there's other
- 39:02Speaker 2: things you can do. She's hosting Erich Harpet event, so
- 39:05Speaker 2: she will still be in the Bravo family in VC Universal,
- 39:09Speaker 2: so she still has ways to make money. But I
- 39:11Speaker 2: definitely would face her out of this season. I think
- 39:14Speaker 2: the cast she doesn't want to be with them, and
- 39:16Speaker 2: if they don't want to hang out with her, I
- 39:18Speaker 2: think La La Tom, Tom, Sheena. You know, I think
- 39:24Speaker 2: the rest of the casts are able to sort of
- 39:26Speaker 2: like have a relationship.
- 39:30Speaker 1: James Kennedy, who I just love.
- 39:33Speaker 2: I think he's such a great reality star because he
- 39:37Speaker 2: doesn't give a fuck.
- 39:38Speaker 1: And that was the beauty of Ben the Poor Rules.
- 39:39Speaker 2: It was a group of kids who just didn't give
- 39:43Speaker 2: a fuck, and they were so honest and so raw
- 39:45Speaker 2: and so real. I would love to see that cast return,
- 39:48Speaker 2: mixed in with some new blood that can really shake
- 39:52Speaker 2: this tree. So I agree with you with that. We
- 39:55Speaker 2: don't want to reboot, so don't do that to This
- 39:57Speaker 2: show is a great brand, is a huge show. The
- 40:00Speaker 2: ratings are great based on what's happening in New York City. Yikes.
- 40:07Speaker 2: But good news is the Real Housewise of Billy Hills
- 40:11Speaker 2: is returning, and I don't know about your job. That
- 40:15Speaker 2: trailer you get to see the old dereet and I'm
- 40:20Speaker 2: a happy, happy, happy camper. Okay.
- 40:24Speaker 3: I have to say that I didn't love the trailer,
- 40:28Speaker 3: but I think the reason I didn't love it was
- 40:30Speaker 3: because I've heard all the tea about the new season,
- 40:32Speaker 3: and I can tell you that the trailer does not
- 40:34Speaker 3: even capture what we're about to see, and I know
- 40:38Speaker 3: that that is scratching the surface of Deree.
- 40:42Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's that's good thing. Okay, So we have
- 40:45Speaker 1: a lot to look forward too. So no, don't fail
- 40:47Speaker 1: us what you've heard.
- 40:48Speaker 2: But are you confirming exclusively on reality with the King
- 40:54Speaker 2: that this upcoming season of the Real Housewives of Billy
- 40:57Speaker 2: Hills is going to be explosive?
- 41:00Speaker 3: Deree came to play Deriet has a very unexpected friendship
- 41:03Speaker 3: with someone on the show it is, girl, I'll tell
- 41:09Speaker 3: you some tea off my ce gag you'll die. It's
- 41:13Speaker 3: gonna be good.
- 41:15Speaker 1: I'm hard on Dure, so I listen. John.
- 41:18Speaker 2: I said this on Twitter maybe a year or too ago,
- 41:20Speaker 2: that Dried is the perfect example of somebody who was
- 41:24Speaker 2: fantastic their first season and second in fact, and then
- 41:29Speaker 2: social media got ahold of her and I said she
- 41:33Speaker 2: was never the same after being villainized on social media.
- 41:38Speaker 2: People hated her and I'm like, where is my deriy?
- 41:41Speaker 2: I loved her? So are we going to see old
- 41:45Speaker 2: dur return? Because my favorite moment of Derey is when
- 41:49Speaker 2: she told me, Sabrina, back up, if I could smell
- 41:54Speaker 2: your breath, you're too close.
- 41:56Speaker 1: Back up.
- 41:58Speaker 3: I hear that we're getting old to eat back like
- 42:01Speaker 3: it's the It's bigger than her first season. It's like
- 42:06Speaker 3: it's next level to eat. And I have to say
- 42:08Speaker 3: to defend Deitt, I agree that she had a few
- 42:10Speaker 3: years where I'm like, girl, she needs to get fired.
- 42:13Speaker 3: And I really hate her fashion. It's so contrived and
- 42:15Speaker 3: I really didn't like her leaning on her you know,
- 42:18Speaker 3: head to toe Gucci logo, Marlo Hampton outfits. But I
- 42:23Speaker 3: feel like Marlo Hampton pulls off the looks so much better.
- 42:26Speaker 3: Like I feel like the clothes really wear to Eat,
- 42:28Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Like I feel like Marlow
- 42:30Speaker 3: like makes it work and it's like yes, girl, But
- 42:33Speaker 3: I just feel like Dereat I never got it. But
- 42:36Speaker 3: I really started to like to Eat last season because
- 42:39Speaker 3: I felt like she was one of the only ones
- 42:42Speaker 3: that wasn't scared of Garcel. And I don't know if
- 42:45Speaker 3: that's just because she is in such a bubble that
- 42:48Speaker 3: she almost didn't care, but I you know, you can
- 42:50Speaker 3: tell that a lot of these other girls are scared
- 42:52Speaker 3: to come against Garcel because you know, they all saw
- 42:55Speaker 3: what happened to Kyle that first season with them when
- 42:57Speaker 3: she brought up the charity that suddenly she was, you know,
- 43:00Speaker 3: in the KKK or something. So these girls don't want
- 43:02Speaker 3: to like mention Garseell because she will like bring that up,
- 43:06Speaker 3: and she did bring it up with Dared, but darit
- 43:08Speaker 3: still like sat there and took it and took the
- 43:10Speaker 3: like you're a Karen and everything. So I was kind
- 43:12Speaker 3: of like, oh, I already feel like Dari's starting to
- 43:15Speaker 3: be like, you know, fuck this, Like if this is
- 43:16Speaker 3: my opinion, I'm going to say it, and now I
- 43:18Speaker 3: know that this next season, she's just like she's going
- 43:21Speaker 3: after everyone. I think she gets into it with Garsel,
- 43:24Speaker 3: with Kyle obviously, and I know the husband's film a lot,
- 43:28Speaker 3: so we're going to see a lot of all these
- 43:30Speaker 3: you know, the personal relationships with everybody, Like it's all there.
- 43:35Speaker 2: If y'all to see my face right now, I'm smiling
- 43:38Speaker 2: from here to hear I listen. Is the reason why
- 43:43Speaker 2: I'm very particular about what I consume, because I don't
- 43:47Speaker 2: want to watch shit for the sake of watching it. Like,
- 43:50Speaker 2: I'm a busy guy, have a lot going on. So
- 43:53Speaker 2: when I take time to sell to my couch and
- 43:55Speaker 2: give you forty two minutes of my time, meg it
- 43:58Speaker 2: worth it? Oh see is doing for me this season?
- 44:02Speaker 2: Billy Hills is one of my favorite shows. It consistently delivers.
- 44:06Speaker 2: Last season wasn't that great.
- 44:08Speaker 1: But I watched every season because I'm not.
- 44:10Speaker 2: Season every episode because I really was just into like
- 44:15Speaker 2: Kyle and Mauricio's situation. I'm so looking forward to this
- 44:20Speaker 2: upcoming season that airs November nineteenth. It's it's it's such
- 44:25Speaker 2: a phenomenal show. But before I let you go, I
- 44:29Speaker 2: need to ask you the most pressing question. What's that?
- 44:35Speaker 1: Are you team Tamra or team jin.
- 44:39Speaker 3: I okay, I team both of them, because I think
- 44:45Speaker 3: I think that I'm team both of them. You know,
- 44:47Speaker 3: I'm definitely my Housewives. Ing has shifted a lot where
- 44:51Speaker 3: I can really see where everyone comes from. But I
- 44:53Speaker 3: just have to say, people need to lay off Tamera
- 44:55Speaker 3: because come on, allegedly Ryan is. You know, I think
- 45:02Speaker 3: Tama's right about a lot of stuff. The people don't
- 45:05Speaker 3: like the delivery, and I think the truth hurts. And
- 45:09Speaker 3: you know, I've heard a lot of things about Shannon
- 45:11Speaker 3: over the years, and you probably heard a lot of
- 45:13Speaker 3: things about Shannon too, from many different sources. And I
- 45:18Speaker 3: it is, you know, a twist of fate that somehow
- 45:22Speaker 3: Shannon became the most loved person on this show again.
- 45:25Speaker 3: I mean, she is just so lucky that Alexis came back.
- 45:28Speaker 3: By the way, I ran into Alexis at a party
- 45:30Speaker 3: a few weeks ago. She was lovely, I was getting
- 45:33Speaker 3: all the tea. I feel so bad for her, and
- 45:35Speaker 3: I know that they're trying to figure out what to
- 45:38Speaker 3: do with Alexis because I know they want to bring
- 45:41Speaker 3: her back. But they're also like, how can we bring
- 45:45Speaker 3: Shannon And they're trying to figure that out as well,
- 45:48Speaker 3: like they're trying to figure out with vander Prong rules.
- 45:50Speaker 3: But yes, I think I'm team Tamara.
- 45:54Speaker 1: Okay, now miss it. I love Tamara. She's a friend
- 45:57Speaker 1: of mine.
- 45:58Speaker 2: I spoke to her recently as well. And listen, Tamra's
- 46:02Speaker 2: doing well. And I will say this, I would want
- 46:08Speaker 2: the audience to always share their opinion, whether it's good
- 46:11Speaker 2: or bad. That's what makes this sort of like process
- 46:14Speaker 2: works for us right when were producing shows. But I
- 46:19Speaker 2: would say that, just know that somebody can appear to
- 46:23Speaker 2: be tough on camera, but you could be very fragile
- 46:27Speaker 2: behind the scenes when you are getting attacked.
- 46:31Speaker 1: Just listen, and I want my audience to understand this.
- 46:35Speaker 2: These women on these shows can handle being attacked by
- 46:39Speaker 2: their castmates because it's like five to six people that
- 46:44Speaker 2: you have to deal with, right, Multiply that by a thousand,
- 46:48Speaker 2: and you're dealing with that with strangers.
- 46:51Speaker 1: It is a lot.
- 46:52Speaker 2: And what I want to encourage the fandom is is
- 46:59Speaker 2: one thousand percent they don't care to have an opinion
- 47:01Speaker 2: stated like and mean it it's all good.
- 47:07Speaker 1: However, say it once and move on.
- 47:11Speaker 2: Is when you constantly labor it to where someone I
- 47:16Speaker 2: feel bad for alexis to you know as well.
- 47:19Speaker 1: She has cut off her comments.
- 47:21Speaker 2: For months because she can't handle it, and nor is
- 47:26Speaker 2: she supposed to handle. That's sort of this raw from
- 47:30Speaker 2: from the audience. It's it's it's what you sign up for, yes,
- 47:34Speaker 2: but no one signs up to be bullied. When a
- 47:37Speaker 2: child goes to school, he may be aware that things
- 47:40Speaker 2: may happen, but nobody signs up to be bullied and
- 47:43Speaker 2: have to take it and say, well, suck it up.
- 47:45Speaker 1: And I want people to look look.
- 47:47Speaker 2: At that when it comes to the reality stars, like, yes, okay, Tim,
- 47:51Speaker 2: I may not be the most love and that's fine,
- 47:52Speaker 2: but have some grace for a woman who is providing
- 47:59Speaker 2: us with some great time television. And we saw what
- 48:01Speaker 2: a season was like with our camera and I don't
- 48:04Speaker 2: ever want to see that again.
- 48:06Speaker 3: People need to remember always this is a television show. Yes,
- 48:10Speaker 3: it's well, sometimes it's real. Sometimes it's not. As we're
- 48:13Speaker 3: seeing on Roney, they're there trying to stage fight. So
- 48:16Speaker 3: there's a lot that goes into reality television. There's there's
- 48:20Speaker 3: editing there, there is so much, and yeah, I wish
- 48:23Speaker 3: people would kind of lay off with the hate towards
- 48:27Speaker 3: certain cast members, and then you do run these really
- 48:29Speaker 3: great people off the shows, and then the shows end
- 48:31Speaker 3: up flopping and being awful because we got rid of people.
- 48:34Speaker 3: And it's just like crazy, how quickly the audience can change.
- 48:38Speaker 3: Because even if you go back to Vanda promt Rules,
- 48:41Speaker 3: Larla was actually very popular for a while and then
- 48:44Speaker 3: from the last season it and she's suddenly the most
- 48:47Speaker 3: absolutely the most hated. And then Katie Maloney was kind
- 48:49Speaker 3: of the opposite. Everyone thought she was just this boring
- 48:52Speaker 3: nag that had like no charisma and was, you know,
- 48:55Speaker 3: always raining on Schwartz's parade, and now she's like a
- 48:58Speaker 3: fan favorite. And when they fired Tamera, everyone was like,
- 49:02Speaker 3: we need Tamera back, this is so bad. Then as
- 49:04Speaker 3: soon as they bring Tamera back, then they all hate
- 49:06Speaker 3: her again. So it's just like, let's just chill out
- 49:09Speaker 3: and yeah, it's fine, I have your opinion, but you know,
- 49:11Speaker 3: you don't need to be like dming these people and
- 49:14Speaker 3: like leaving hate comments on their pages and stuff like that.
- 49:18Speaker 3: They're all they're trying to entertain you and just watch
- 49:21Speaker 3: it as a television show.
- 49:23Speaker 1: Yes, and that also goes from me and Jock.
- 49:25Speaker 2: Do not leave hay comments on my reviews on Apple
- 49:29Speaker 2: or Spotify if you disagree with this, Okay, we appreciate
- 49:34Speaker 2: you all, all right, Jock, let.
