  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.

  Speaker 2: Friends, family, and listeners, welcome back to the Almost Famous Podcast.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: It's Ben and Lauren.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, not Ashley.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: It's not Ashley. Where is she? We're here to break
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: another episode of the Ultimate Girls Trip.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: This episode started out like I was like, oh, I'm
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: rewatching the last week's episode.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, I actually went back and checked.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Me too. Like multiple times I checked because I was like,
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: we are talking about the Lady Gaga outfit again. I
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: thought I was rewatching it and it kept clicking the
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: wrong one.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: And I just had forgotten. Forgotten.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: And it might be why, Lauren, I will say this
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: is my favorite episode so far because I think it
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: was easy for me to track.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was all in one central location.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: With the same people that we saw last week.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, and mainly with the ROG crew, who we already know.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: It wasn't any outsiders, really.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was one outsider that came in from New York.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: She was early on. She really loves her husband, which,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, is great.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Yes. She's hilarious.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Alex.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Alex, Alex, thank you. Alex, she's iconic. Mm-hmm. She's so
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: cringy to watch. But you could tell she was a
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: little bit uncomfortable giving off a little bit of Vicky vibes.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: But other than that, the drama was within the group.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, let me get personal. I always like to start
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: these episodes with asking you some questions that make us
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: help or help us understand you a little better. You're
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: married with child. Hunter is your husband. Let's play a
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: little game. Would you chew Hunter's gum after he has
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: chewed it?
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: No. No.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Would you– I'm asking these because we see with Alex.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Her and her husband just do some things like they're
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: obsessed with each other. I think that's great in a marriage.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: It can get a lot. Explore that when you're in
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the privacy of your own home. We don't need to
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: necessarily see in public all the time. It looked like
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: in one of the scenes they were eating dinner. And
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I'll give Jess a kiss when I'm eating dinner. But
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not making out with her with food in my mouth.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Ew, yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Or with food in her mouth. Like, that's just... I
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: don't know. I feel like it's not needed. And it
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: looked like that's kind of what they were doing.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah. They're all over each other all the time. I
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: think it's cute, but they're kind of like, you know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: there's two marriages or two, like, groups of families. One
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: where you put the kids first and one where you
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: put each other first. And they're obviously, like, they put
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: each other first.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: And... a lot of that season was kind of the
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: first like OG New York season was people judging Alex's
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: parenting skills and stuff. And Kelly, even like judging Alex's
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: parenting stuff and now going back and watching it. Cause
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I'm rewatching OG New York. It's so funny. Cause no,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: I feel like they wouldn't allow that like judging people's
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: parenting and how they are and how they treat their
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: kids on the current housewives season. But yeah, their whole
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: family is very bizarre.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: So they're saying there, the judgment was, Hey, you give
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: so much attention to your husband that the kids are
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: getting left behind.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And they like kind of just let the kids
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: run amok. Just like if they want to express themselves
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: a certain way, they're going to express themselves. If they
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: want to tell you you're cooking, if you're at a
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: friend's house, they're going to say you're cooking. You're like,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: they're just like, well, that's how they want to express themselves.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: So.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Interesting. So it's like very like, hands-off parenting.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Correct. Very laissez-faire.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's kind of popular nowadays, isn't it?
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Ugh. I don't like it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, it feels like, hey, kids are kids
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: for a reason. We got to kind of at least
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: help them out.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Yes. Yeah. I always thought I'd be a way cooler
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: parent than I am. I mean, I know Rocky's young,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: but I'm not going to be chill about a lot
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: of stuff. Yeah.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Jess just told me the other day. Because Jess, shockingly,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: is the more outspoken parent when it comes to what
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: can and cannot be done.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: And I am a lot more like, hey, Winnie, you
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: can sit on my lap and watch Elmo while I work.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: And Jess is like, no, she can't. And I'm like, yeah,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: you're right. She shouldn't be doing that. However, it is
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: nice to have her cuddle with me.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I know. It's nice when the habits are formed. Here
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: we go. Slippery slope.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my wife, she's a good girl.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: No, she's great. She's great. Well, she knows the more
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: rigid she is, the easier her life is actually going
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: to be. Yeah.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: She's good at it. I love it. I'm just kind
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: of more, hey, let's have fun here. And I need
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to get out of that. I'm getting better, Lauren. I'm
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: getting better. All right. Let's dive into this episode. As
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: we said, not a lot of new guests. We've already
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: talked about Alex. It is the same group of people
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: that we saw last week. It is the Halloween party.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: It is cold in New York City, which makes me
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: assume that this is a party happening around Halloween, which
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: would make sense. But not always these parties make sense
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: It looked miserable, honestly, like them walking inside with the
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: snow and then Portia being late. And they show her
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: being late, not only because she took forever getting ready
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: and trying to find a safe in her room for
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: the second episode in a row. But she was in traffic.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: And honestly, she can't help that. So if she could
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: just get a word out to explain why she was late,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: maybe other people would understand, a.k.a. Luann.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: My pushback on that a little bit, Lauren. I mean,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I love Portia. She's probably top two in my favorite
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: cast members. Honestly, I get what she was saying where
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: she's like, we've just been on the go so much
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: that I can't like get around quick enough. I would
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: be the same way. There's no like issue with her
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: being late. However, she was late no matter if there
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: was traffic or not. She didn't leave her hotel until
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: an hour after she was supposed to be at the party.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: So she was going to be late. Traffic was just
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: like an easy excuse. It was convenient for her to
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: be stuck in traffic and take a video of it
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: with the ambulance in front.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Of her Yeah, she would have been an hour late,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: but not two hours late.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: That's exactly right. So she was going to be late.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: And I just don't love the double standard because if
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: she's going to be late and she was upset with
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Lisa for being late to the bus, then all of
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: us have to be on time. If we're going to
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: get upset with somebody being late, we all just have
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: to be on time. We cannot say some things are
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: more valuable than others, especially with Luann, who I know.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about Luann for a second. I know Luann
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: comes off as this confident, outspoken center of attention person.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I think she needs the support. She wants the respect,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: and she needs to be loved by the group. Mm-hmm.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: And I think this was her big moment to almost
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: prove it. I think internally, if you sat down with
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Luann and spoke with her, she would feel like an
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: outsider quite often. And she creates a narrative that she
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: always is. So this party was kind of reassuring, vindicating
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: her storyline of, hey, I don't have the respect that
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I desire.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. I mean, everyone made fun of her party.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: They're continuing that narrative that the party sucked. I would
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: argue it was pretty fun. I mean, they had the mentalist,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: which was crazy.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: How do they do that? That was an amazing thing
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: to see.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Well, obviously, that was a mentalist. And then Oz, the mentalist,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: is kind of the one that's really famous right now.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: He's kind of everywhere.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I have zero idea how they do it. And I've
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: been in the same room with these people. I absolutely...
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: am amazed at what they can do because I've seen
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: things like this happen and they've been done to me, uh,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: where they had me guess a name of somebody and
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I come up with this like elementary school teacher and
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: they pull it out of nowhere. I don't know how
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: it's done. I don't know how the levitating is done.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I feel like this needed more of a conversation. Like
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: you just can't levitate somebody and then be like, Oh,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: I was levitating. It's like, no, I, I, I need
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: to know how something there was off to like, something's off.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I love the girl who says, yeah, she said it's
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the devil. In fact, I was going to say, I
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: want to watch her all the time. She, everything she
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: said to me was set on camera was not only funny,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: but truthful. And it's authentic. You could tell she's just like,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: this is crazy. I flew from Dubai here. I don't
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: like this.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: She also.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: She's like, do me, do me. Yeah, outspoken to Luann
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: and how often Luann was talking. And so the party,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I think, could have been great, Lauren. But I do
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: think Luann probably talked longer than it even showed on television.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: They had the counter and it was almost at a
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: 40-minute speech or something. Could you imagine being at a
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: wedding and someone's doing their speech and being over 15 minutes?
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: The bride just starts going off.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like Chanel from Housewives of Dubai. She was like,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: you're talking too much. You're talking too much. And honestly,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Luann needs a friend like that. Be like, you can
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: still be the center of attention without being egregious.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Luann's a big enough personality that she can be the
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: center of attention really without saying much. I mean, it's
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: just she's, you know, she's outgoing. She loves to converse.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: She doesn't need to get on stage. Do you think
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: this comes from a place, Lauren, you obviously started this
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: whole season out by saying you love Luann.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I would say it's an insecurity she does it based
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: on a fact that she wants to be a center
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: of attention because she doesn't feel like she actually ever
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: is but you would explain her desire to be on
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: stage for 40 minutes and to justify it by saying
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: it was my party i can do what i want
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: i'm hosting it how In what way? How would you
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: explain it to me?
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: I think that she is extremely un-self-aware. And I don't think...
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: I'm honestly thinking... I don't think it has anything to
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: do with the need to be liked or anything. I
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: think she just loves attention in any way it comes.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: And we even see it at the end of the
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: show when she's on the phone with Dorinda explaining how
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: the party went. She's doing dramatic exits while she's on FaceTime.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: She just wants it to be dramatic exits. to make
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: her life like interesting. I don't think it's even much
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: deeper than that. She's just like, my life is a
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: cabaret and it's dramatic and it's all because of me. I,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: I don't even know if there's any deeper thing there.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's a, it's a, it's an interesting way to
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: walk through life. And I do think the housewives cultivates
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: this culture of, I need to be on the camera.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I need to be out in front. It's probably why
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: some fade away and others stay prominent. And the thing
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: with this behavior is Luanne is always going to be
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: at the center of a storyline. I mean, we can
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: see her, well, you know, some would say it was obnoxious, but,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: and so then you have that whole storyline of is
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Luanne obnoxious or not?
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think I, the only time I find
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: her to be entertaining 99% of the time and then
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: obnoxious when people are actually trying to speak with her
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: and you can tell, no words are getting past what
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: she's going to say next. Like she's already onto the
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: next thing. How can I make this more dramatic? And it's,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: it's annoying when that's happening. Like, like at the end
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: when Dorinda is like trying to make her feel better,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: but she's not even taking the time to listen to
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Dorinda or when Vicky's trying to explain to her, like
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: you're making me feel this way. She's like, Oh, I apologize.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: I apologize. You feel that way. It's like, you're not
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: even listening. You're just trying to get out of the
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: trouble so you can go into your next cabaret.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Do you find Luanne obnoxious?
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: I find her... She was getting to me this episode
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: just because... I mean, I don't even... She just was annihilated.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: You can tell that she was so drunk or something
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: else that it wasn't going to be fun for anyone
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: around her. You know? When you get to that point
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: of drunk where you're like, you're not making any sense.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: This isn't even funny anymore. So that's kind of what
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: I thought.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: The thing to me that is impressive watching... the housewife
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: so far is you think when you turn, I mean,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing Luanne's what, like 55, 60. Something around there.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Let's find out.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh, you start to not fade off, but you
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: start to become more of a, a present witness. Your,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: your role seems to change from being the center of
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: attention to being someone who, you know, watches, shares wisdom,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: shares experience. You're, sought after for the, you know, for
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: the idea that you've been there before. So many, the
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: housewives continue to be out in the front and to let,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: like letting their stuff hang out. I mean, they look good.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: As a woman.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: They let it hang out. I mean, they're, Luann has
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: no problem at 61 years old. We just, at 61
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: years old. 61 years old.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: She's still got it. She's hooking up with multiple people.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: She's looking good. She's having fun. She's drinking. She's not
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: going to be like, Oh, remember the days when we
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: used to go out? Oh, you know, she still likes it.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, I'm not a person that's going to
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: want to go out my heels in the snow when
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I'm 61, probably, but like, you know, the fact that
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: you can still do it and not feel like a
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: bystander or awkward or self-conscious about being out at 61,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: that's amazing.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: It is. It's impressive to watch.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Vicky's like, I don't like this.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to say, I hear that at 61.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I'm like, ah, that feels like something I don't have
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: the energy for. However. It's an option. It's an option.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: It's there. They're showing that the gate is open if
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: we want to walk through it. And I just might
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: be the one that says, hey, I'm good.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I'm okay not doing that at 61. But this party
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: only becomes, you know, a source of drama.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Because of Luann, I think. I mean, I think no
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: matter if you agree with her or not, the focus
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: is on her by her talking. And then there's this
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: drama around where does she stand during photos? The group
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: calls her out and says, you always want to stand
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: in the middle. I actually think Luann shares the receipts
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: that that isn't exactly the true story. That was great.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Yes. I was like, thank you for having those receipts.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Maybe people were like, oh... Speaking up first, like, oh,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Portia should be in the center. She and Luann gladly
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: would have taken the center if someone didn't speak up.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: But she wasn't always there. And she 100% was about
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: to squat down in front of the girls before they
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: called her out. She was about to sorority squat in
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: front of the group of girls, and they didn't give
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: her a chance. And then the whole thing blew up.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't know if they like her very much, Lauren.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: I know. I don't.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Who's her friend in the group?
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Well, now it's Lisa because Lisa will take any friend
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: she can get. Right? There's no one left.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: There's no one left.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Kyle obviously will listen to anyone too because she's diplomatic.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: But Portia, Giselle, Vicky, Danzo.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: They just, they're over it.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Which, you know, makes it interesting when Luann does the
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: one thing. I don't know if you've ever done this.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I just did it a few months ago with a
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: group of friends. It's very scary. You ask them, hey,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: how do you see me? Like what? Like what? Yeah. Like,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: what do you like about me? And then what, when,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe we leave a hangout, are you like, Hey,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: that rubbed me the wrong way or something that you
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: don't appreciate about me? I don't like doing it. It was,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: it's very scary. And especially when you have friends who
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: are honest, you're like, Oh goodness.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: I would never want to be honest.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: But you have to be, that's why it's being asked.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Luann asks the van, and this is for me one
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: of the best moments of the road trip so far.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Am I being obnoxious? And you hear the silence of, okay,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: what do we say? And then it was yes. And
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: it felt like she, like you said, is so unselfaware
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: that she had no idea that the response was going
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: to be so negative towards her.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: But in my life, you're an adult. If you ask
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: the question, you have to be willing to receive the
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: honest answer. She asked the question and it is the
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: time where the women can say, you asked me. And
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: so my response to you is yes, Luann, we've found
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: you obnoxious. You are driving us crazy. You should understand that.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. And you should just, you know, pipe down
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: a little bit, listen to other people's stories. Let other
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: people be slightly the center of attention. And the fact
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: that she was, like, semi-shocked by the answer is wild. Like,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: she's never not speaking.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: And honestly, quite a talent. Because sometimes I'm like, what
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: the hell do I talk to these people for? She's
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: been with them, like, 24-7 for the past, like, however
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: many weeks. Very impressive. I guess she's only talked about herself,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: but still. Yeah.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I wish I had that much to share.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: I know. Well, she lives a very exciting cabaret life.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she does. But the it does seem like we
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: in this episode with Lou Anne at least recognizing and
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: how that will be received will will be interesting.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: But how funny was it? Sorry to cut you off.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: But when she was it was towards the end of
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: the party, like the other girls, I think, left and
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Lou Anne still there, like cutting the cake and all
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: the stuff. But she keeps saying two hours late. she
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: was two hours late to my party, but then walking
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: away after every sentence, hoping that that would be the
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: most dramatic moment of her life. And that people would
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: follow her like, no, tell me more. And they're like,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Oh God. Oh God.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: It's just cannot wait to send her off.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I have this like thing about me or when I
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: have something that I think is interesting, I'll repeat it
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: twice to make sure it lands. I don't like, and
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: I realized it after I do it. So if I'm
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: telling you a story, I'll be like, here's the, the,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Did you hear the punchline? I'll say it again. I
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: don't like it. I mean, I don't like doing it.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to get better at it. But you want
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: a response?
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Yes. Yeah.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: And that's what Luanne was wanting. She wanted to repeat
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: it enough.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Or walk away before the response wasn't what she wanted. Yeah.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Just drop the bomb. Just drop the bomb.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Be like, if someone pushes back, I won't even hear it. Yeah.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: But wait, Ben, you have to tell me, you'll tell
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: like an actual joke or something or a punchline, a story.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: And then if someone doesn't respond, then you'll say it
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: again to make sure they heard it.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Even what if someone already responds, you don't do it twice.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I don't think I do. It's, I think it's a
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: debate tactic from like my time in debate in school
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: where you like reinforce the point.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: You drive it home.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: You drive it home. And I do think it works
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: in debates. Like when you just like have like five
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: facts that, you know, will win the argument. And so
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: you just repeat those in different ways. Yes.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: And I think that's how, like, probably if I look
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: back when I developed my communication style is back in, like,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: the middle school, high school era.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to look for this next time.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Please do. And then call me out on it.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Be like, you've already told me that and I didn't
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: find it that interesting, Ben.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: It's always awkward. It's so freaking awkward.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: It wasn't cool the first time. It's not going to
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: be cool the second time either. So we have this dynamic.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not shocked though, Lauren. We're coming towards the end
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: of this road trip that tensions are high, that annoyances
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: have happened. If you and I took a road trip for,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know how long this has been for them,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: but if we went to six different, seven different cities,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: spent every waking moment together, at some point you're going
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: to say, hey, let's just not talk. This drive, Ben,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: like this is a lot. Maybe we should.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Whip our laptops out like Vicky does.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just like let's work or act like we're working
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: for a bit. I'm not shocked that the tensions are
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: running high as we end the season at the Berkshires
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: with a special appearance from Andy Cohen and so many
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: of the Real Housewives of Rhode Island team that we
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: seem to know so well and love so much. But
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: before we kind of close out as we conclude the
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: road trip, I do want to spend a little bit
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: more time, Lauren, talking about this mentalist.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Please.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: You are a lot more hip than I am. And
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: I know that, and I'm good with it. You are
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: a lot more aware of what's happening in the world
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: around us than I am. The mentalist thing has been
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: a trend for the last few years. As I said,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Oz the Mentalist, I think he even had an appearance
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: at an award show or co-hosted one. Oh, no, he
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: was supposed to co.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: He was a White House Correspondents Dinner.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was supposed to do that. first and then
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: obviously the first one got delayed they did it again
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: i don't know if he actually did the second one
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: i think he did the second one yeah so they're
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: being used um their talents are i mean give what
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: it is spectacular i have never i mean as somebody
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: who is a christian i've never really found them that
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: like eerie like i know that they're like there was
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: talk there that was like it's of the devil i've
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: never gone that way uh i think it's just probably
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: how I walk, like my mindset in life. I just
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: don't jump to that conclusion very often. Yeah. But it
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: did seem to be when, um, what Chanel said it,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: I think the women were like, yeah, a hundred percent. I, yeah, it's,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: and I love Chanel's statement. We're like in my community,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: he would have been burned.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Goodness.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: That got me. That was funny. That's funny. But there was,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: there was an, uh, an authenticity authenticity to what she
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: was saying, uh, there was an earnestness. Like she believed,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: I think this at some level. And it did feel
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: like the women agreed. Is that what we're going, what's
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: happening here? Like, if so, I need to like get
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: my spirit radar up.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: A little bit lost with how they even begin this.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Because they don't ask so many questions. So if it
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: was like leading questions, like think of your young, I
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: don't even know. I have no idea how they do it.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: But it can't be demonic. It just can't be. Like
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: we saw Criss Angel levitate over the Luxor. We didn't
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: immediately think he was the devil, right? There has to
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: be an explanation here. So we need one of these
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: people to give us some kind of like an Easter
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: egg of how this is happening. Just so we don't
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: lose our minds and go devil worshiping.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Well, exactly. And I don't want to, like, if there
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: is no explanation, I need to know that because then
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: this changes my whole fascination with it. It becomes a,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be around it. I don't need
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: to be near it. Get me out of the room
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: that it's happening in.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Do you use Ouija boards?
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I don't. No.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: No, because you think it's messing with them things a
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: I honestly, I think as a kid, it freaked me out.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: And then it's like, as an adult, I've never like,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: done it yeah yeah I just like don't have one
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: but I do think you know every once in a
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: while there's things that make you feel uncomfortable I do
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: believe in a spirit realm I think I could argue
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: that forever but the mentalist stuff is more entertaining to
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: me so it doesn't make so when I think of
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: this little side tangent and please listeners respond if you
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: have the answers here like I would love to hear
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: But when I think of like demonic spirits, it's often
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: a place like evil will come from, pain will come
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: from it, hurt will come from, you know, power will
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: come from these evil spirits. And they can hide in
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: incredible ways and look like, you know, good on the surface.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: And so you kind of have to like be tuned
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: in a little bit. I've just viewed the mentalist stuff
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: as entertaining. Like I just find it fascinating in that
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: there's no, I don't go any further. There's no pain
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: coming from it. There's no hurt. There is no like.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Power.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: There's some control. I mean, some weird stuff there, but
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: it doesn't bring my radar up.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: I agree. Like I a hundred percent think it's just
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: like taking like little cues, little cues, little cues, but
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: the cues are so subtle. I don't know how anyone
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: masters this, um, the skill. especially while answering only a
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: couple of questions. I think we have to maybe like
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: have a mentalist on here or something, but they won't
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: give us their tricks.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I would be so interested to have a mentalist on
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: to at least ask some questions to see how far
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: they can answer. I mean, I know that a good
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: artist never gives up their secrets. However, we could at least,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I'm going to chat GPT this probably afternoon.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: But also like they had Kyle like raise her hand,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: like the touch thing. Remember that?
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: I'm with you. I've seen this stuff.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: It's not just like coming up with the name. It's
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: how am I feeling something on my shoulder right now?
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: That rather than coming up with the name feels more
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: like the devil than anything.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Because like who's touching her?
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Who's touching her? How is this happening? And the most
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: common question coming off The Bachelor was, is it real?
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: And so I think when we see stuff on TV,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: our assumption is this is not real. However, when you
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: see it in person, and I'm sure so many at
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: listening to this have at this point you do have
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: to start asking yourself the question what's happening because it
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: is real like this like the touching thing I think
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Kyle was fully thinking Kyle's.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Not lying Kyle's not performing for us the audience just
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: so this guy looks like a good.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Mentalist 100% so very interesting part of this party was
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: the mentalist it did make me excited to talk to
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: you about your thoughts.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: On it yeah that was my favorite part I could
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: watch it all day Yeah.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. It's just entertaining to me. Hey, anyways,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: if you are listening and you do have some answers
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: to some of the questions that I'm asking, that Lauren's asking,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: please write us in. Like, I would really like to know.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: I'm more, like, I'm interested. And I still think I'd
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: be amazed. I just want to know, like, hey, what
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: is actually going on here? And do I need to
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: stay away from it? Friends, family, listeners, write in. Uh,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: the party, anything else on the party that stood out
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: to you? Um, the monster shoe thing was weird.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: The monster shoe thing was terrible. Just another cringe moment
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: from Alex. Teresa not understanding what the mentalist was asking
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: her to do was very funny.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What was it? Was she just too messed up?
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: She was very messed up. Didn't understand. But then she
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: thought that she had to guess what he was thinking.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: And yeah, she's not the brightest bulb.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: That was just awkward. And it lasted a long time.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: He was kind of like, Hey, just say the name.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: And she's just like, she didn't get it.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: She just didn't get the point of the, of the
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: whole process. Other than that, I think that, um, watching
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Luann at the end, talking to Rinda, talking to Dorinda
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: was hilarious. Cause she had her sunglasses on and her hat.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: she seemed off her rocker crazier than I've ever seen
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Luann when she was on FaceTime. And then there she is.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: She's like, I gotta go. I'm late to get to
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: the virtues. I'm like, so everyone is late. Everyone is late.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: And we must admit that everyone is going to be late.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: You know, you can't be mad.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: So yes, I said that it's like a double standard.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: So we had Lisa late before then Portia's late. Now
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Luann is late. Everybody's late. I'll stereotype here. I'm getting
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: in trouble for it. When you ask eight, Real housewives
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: to travel around and be on time. It ain't going
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: to happen.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: No. The amount of suitcases, makeup, hair, unpacking, packing.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Awful. The fact that they get glam to get on
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: a flight or to drive to the Berkshires is also
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: kind of wild to me. I want to see these
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: girls in sweats, no makeup, rolling onto the bus, feeling
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: a little tired.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: I love Kyle's look. I think you probably like Kyle's
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: look on the bus waiting for Luann. She had a
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: beanie on and some glasses. Really cute.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: It's the way to go. I remember when Ashley wore
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: the backwards hat. Like, that was, you know, that stands out. Like,
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: just be relaxed for a little bit. You don't need
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: to put that fur coat on and get the makeup done.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Just hang out.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Road trip. Yeah, Alex is a little bit, she's funky.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I had never known of her before. Was the Munster thing,
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: is that a former scene on a show? Is that
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: why that happened? Okay.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Yes. So she's walking around with her huge shoes. She
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: comes down the stairs. Alex comes down the stairs and
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Luann says, you come stomping in with your Herman monster shoes.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: And then she goes, well, they were Louis Vuitton. And
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: then Luann goes, well, even Louis Vuitton makes mistakes. And
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: that is the classic line from almost the whole series
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: put together. Yes. So she kept her shoes.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: She kept them and then brought them out to do
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: some wild dance. That was, uh, That's hard to watch.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Lauren and listeners, I want you thinking of this when
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: I ask Lauren this question. If you're asked to do
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: a talent show, what is your talent that you would
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: show off?
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: Well, hopefully after we get some clues here, I'll be
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: the mentalist. But my talent, I can fall asleep so fast.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Like you can put me, give me a bed, like
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: a little cot and I can be asleep in under
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: like 40 seconds. That's my talent.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Do you, you don't have trouble sleeping at night then? No, never.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Daytime, nighttime, anytime.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: You're just consistently tired.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I'm always tired, but I love laying down. And I
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: love being asleep. And I rub my feet together for
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: about 30 seconds and I'm out.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you do the toe thing. Drives my wife crazy.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: It's called cricketing. Yeah, I do that with my feet.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: My dad has always done that.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: My dad does it too, yeah.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: It drives her crazy. She does not enjoy my foot
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: rubbing together.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: No, because it's very distracting. I'm so glad Hunter can
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: sleep through absolutely anything because I'll rub my feet into oblivion.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's, it is kind of gross to think about. However, um,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: it is, it's always been very relaxing to me.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: What's your talent?
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: You know, it's tough. We did it when I was
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: the bachelor, we had a talent show on the show
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: and I, I wasn't trying to be difficult. It's just like, guys,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: I need help here. Um, I don't have like a
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: talent that can show off. I do. I can turn
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: my arm around like an awkwardly like far amount. Like
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: I have like something going on there. Not really great
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: for a talent show. It's not like super impressive. Here's
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: the one thing I got. I can take my tongue
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: and stick it in my nose. You want to see it?
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Yes. That's very far. Yeah. Wow. You don't even have
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: a low hanging nose. That's impressive.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: No way. I can't do it.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So that's been pretty cool for me in the past.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Can you do the clover?
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I got that going on. I don't have
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: like a great talent. I used to be able to
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: yo-yo pretty well. I used to be able to kind
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: of juggle. It's lost me over time. And so it's,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: it's something I want to work on. I want to
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: have some talent to show off. It kind of stresses
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: me out.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: You never know when a talent show is going to arise. Yeah.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: I need something like give me a guitar and let me,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: you know, strum like John Mayer. Like that would be cool.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Let's just work on one John Mayer song.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, especially in my single years. Can you imagine just
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: repeat on the corner, just strumming a guitar?
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Do you know how many times Hunter has played me
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Wonderwall in our continuous 20 years of dating? Like so
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: many times, just one song.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: So your talent would be, hey, let me sit in
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: this chair. I'll be asleep in 40 seconds. You and
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: your sister have something. Ashley consistently on this show mentions
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: how her dream day is like rotting in a bed.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's just a normal human experience, right? That's
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: what everyone wants?
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: No, the idea of me spending a day like that,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: not sick, stresses me out.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's great for you then.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, there's not a better or worse here. I'm
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: just saying that you guys both love the idea of
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: we're going to have a sister's day. We're going to
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: lay in the bed and watch movies, take naps.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: Take naps, eat.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. That's all I really want. And a rainy day,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: a rainy day with horror movies and like Buffalo wings. Yeah.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Such a, what's your perfect day then?
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Like the opposite. I would love to work out, wake
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: up early, work out, get a good hard workout and
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: come home, play with Winnie. Now at this point it's changed, uh,
• 34:04

  Speaker 2: Really fancy and cool with French fries and then come
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: home and be in bed by... nine that would be
• 34:22

• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Island Housewives popped up. You know, like when you get
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: in to watch the screeners, their main picture pops up.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: I didn't realize like how good all of them look
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: in that picture. Like I saw that picture and I
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: was like, goodness gracious.

• 36:19
  Speaker 2: look at it. Like, I don't know what they did.

  Speaker 2: They're all very beautiful people, but like it's shockingly, it
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: like shocked me a little bit. Like I was like, whoa.
