- 1:11Speaker 3: You know. I didn't plump anything, I didn't put anything

- 1:15Speaker 4: But I have botox and micro needle beyond capacity. And
- 1:18Speaker 4: thank you to all my doctors.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Well girl, send them to me.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Honey as the refro because whatever you got a will
- 1:28Speaker 1: all the bit you look amazing.
- 1:30Speaker 2: You really didn't really hear.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Yeah, so girl, we have to get to this episode,
- 1:35Speaker 1: so let's just get right into it.
- 1:37Speaker 2: The knee. So the episode began with the continuation the
- 1:44Speaker 2: ladies having dinner. In this dinner, you know, the cliffhanger
- 1:49Speaker 2: last week was Tamera telling Shannon, well, look, I'm not
- 1:52Speaker 2: the only one who concerned about you. Gina is. So
- 1:56Speaker 2: now we get Gina's response to that particular.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Moment, and look, Gina's like, I was can serve, But look, Tamra, Mike,
- 2:07Speaker 1: conserve for Shannis started when you took her out to
- 2:11Speaker 1: have a drink after YouTube. You know, we're making up
- 2:14Speaker 1: and all of those things, and that's not something good
- 2:16Speaker 1: to do.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Tamra's like, look, I damned if I do. I damned.
- 2:21Speaker 1: The by do drinking is Shanna's love language. That's what
- 2:26Speaker 1: she wanted to do. I didn't think it's a bad idea.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Everyone sort of slip on this, but alexis, what do
- 2:33Speaker 1: you think about that? Is Tamara the wrong for taking
- 2:35Speaker 1: Shannon outward drinking knowing that she may she may allegedly,
- 2:40Speaker 1: you know, have a issue with alcohol.
- 2:45Speaker 4: Well, you know, I'm opinionated, but this one I am
- 2:48Speaker 4: with the audience.
- 2:49Speaker 3: I am.
- 2:49Speaker 4: I am torn because here's the reason why Tamar's doing
- 2:53Speaker 4: everything she can to just let she Hada know, like.
- 2:57Speaker 3: Look, we I mean, I get it.
- 2:58Speaker 4: We both have fed up, We've both been not great
- 3:01Speaker 4: friends at certain times, but we have a job to do.
- 3:04Speaker 3: So I kind of feel that side from Tamra.
- 3:07Speaker 4: But then again, I see Gina side where it's like,
- 3:10Speaker 4: could you have made up a secret handshake or something like,
- 3:13Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know, there could have been something
- 3:15Speaker 4: else or let's go get a coffee, probably with a
- 3:18Speaker 4: shot of Baileyes in it.
- 3:19Speaker 3: But anyway, I don't know. I'm torn too.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Now listen, I'm torn as well because the thing is
- 3:25Speaker 1: bits if someone really does have a relationship with alcohol,
- 3:30Speaker 1: the last thing you do is sort of introduce to them.
- 3:34Speaker 2: They're not not introduced, but reintroduced to them.
- 3:36Speaker 1: The problem from what I gathered from the season, if
- 3:39Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, Alexus correct me if I'm.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Wrong, Shannon never said she.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Gave up alcohol, and I think that's the difference that
- 3:50Speaker 1: exactly is.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Yeah, So I am.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Signing more on the Tamra side of things only because
- 3:58Speaker 1: if Shanna said emphatically, luck, I don't want to drink anymore.
- 4:03Speaker 1: I've been going to a a I have a sponsor
- 4:06Speaker 1: that Tamara is a bath riad. Shannon clearly drinks around
- 4:10Speaker 1: them where they're at these restaurants, when they're when they're
- 4:13Speaker 1: you know, hanging out. So if Tamra's like, look, you're
- 4:17Speaker 1: you're you're drinking, why didn't it have a drink in solidarity?
- 4:21Speaker 3: Exactly? She never Shannon never said I'm I don't I'm sober.
- 4:27Speaker 4: I'm not drinking anymore, because you know, sure as well,
- 4:30Speaker 4: none of those housewives are gonna take Shannon to go
- 4:32Speaker 4: get a shot if she says she's sober.
- 4:34Speaker 3: You know. So that is a very good point, very
- 4:37Speaker 3: good point.
- 4:38Speaker 4: But I do still see Gina's side only because it's like, look,
- 4:41Speaker 4: you can't preach all last season and all this time
- 4:44Speaker 4: that you think she has a drinking problem and then go, hey, buddy,
- 4:46Speaker 4: let's go big cocktail, you know, like, But and then again,
- 4:49Speaker 4: I just I see Tamra's side too. I'm definitely torn it.
- 4:52Speaker 4: But I don't think Tamra just because of what you said.
- 4:55Speaker 4: I don't think it's completely off limits. When Shannon's sitting
- 4:59Speaker 4: there drink, making every single meal, every single morning when
- 5:02Speaker 4: they have she have pain, so she hasn't stopped.
- 5:05Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, she had lifted. I watched the show Shannon.
- 5:09Speaker 1: It said that her DUI and these are her words.
- 5:12Speaker 1: Now I'm paraphrasing, of course, but she said like, look,
- 5:15Speaker 1: it was an isolated incident and that she doesn't have
- 5:18Speaker 1: a drinking problem.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Now. The person who also had.
- 5:22Speaker 1: A DUI on this cast is Gina, and Gina doesn't
- 5:26Speaker 1: drink anymore. And I think that's the reason why, in
- 5:29Speaker 1: Gena's defense, she's way more sensitive to.
- 5:33Speaker 2: The idea of what she's recognizing.
- 5:36Speaker 1: And I think I think what Gina should more articulate
- 5:41Speaker 1: is the fact that look, as a person who had
- 5:43Speaker 1: a bad relationship with alcohol, who had to give up alcohol,
- 5:48Speaker 1: maybe there are sides that I'm seeing in Shannon than
- 5:50Speaker 1: I saw myself. That's why I'm way more sensitive to
- 5:54Speaker 1: it than any of these women.
- 5:58Speaker 3: Very true, Very true.
- 6:00Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, And I respect and commend Gina for you know,
- 6:05Speaker 4: she didn't quit.
- 6:06Speaker 3: She didn't quit right after the DUI.
- 6:08Speaker 4: I think it was like a whole other year or
- 6:09Speaker 4: something that went by that she drank, but she originally
- 6:12Speaker 4: like she she realized and recognized, Okay, I'm going to stop,
- 6:15Speaker 4: and she did. And I loved her comment when she's like,
- 6:18Speaker 4: that's what you call California sober, Like she still, you know,
- 6:21Speaker 4: smokes a joint.
- 6:23Speaker 3: It's so true.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah no.
- 6:27Speaker 1: But that's why I appreciate Gina obviously being concerned because
- 6:31Speaker 1: of what she's been through.
- 6:33Speaker 2: And look, I think it tough to Shannon. I will
- 6:35Speaker 2: say this.
- 6:36Speaker 1: I think Shannon has to figure out for herself whether
- 6:39Speaker 1: or not she feels like she has luck.
- 6:41Speaker 2: As of now, it doesn't seem like she does, and
- 6:43Speaker 2: that's a paromative. But I don't think you should attack Tamera.
- 6:49Speaker 1: For letting her have a drink if that's what she's
- 6:53Speaker 1: been doing on camera off camera anyway. So exactly, I'm
- 6:58Speaker 1: from the old Tamera's side when she said, I'm damn
- 7:01Speaker 1: with by do, I'm damned by doubt. And we'll get
- 7:02Speaker 1: into the rest of the episode, but before we get
- 7:05Speaker 1: to all of that, we have to talk about the
- 7:07Speaker 1: person at whose job Nowaday seems to be exposing any
- 7:11Speaker 1: and everything Tamra has done, and that is your favorite
- 7:13Speaker 1: person has Slade.
- 7:15Speaker 4: Okay, but you know what, I knew you were probably
- 7:19Speaker 4: gonna go here.
- 7:20Speaker 3: I mean, how can you not after that episode?
- 7:22Speaker 4: But Carlos, like I said it, last episode that we did,
- 7:26Speaker 4: the last podcast we did together, he just needs to
- 7:29Speaker 4: get a job.
- 7:29Speaker 3: It's like he wants to be the next housewife.
- 7:31Speaker 4: He's gonna be sallacious and bring up stupid stuff. I
- 7:34Speaker 4: think him and Gretchen jumped on the tear down the
- 7:37Speaker 4: Tamra train like they're on that train, tear down Tamra
- 7:40Speaker 4: train exit B, like that's where they're at.
- 7:43Speaker 3: And so I don't know. It's the whole thing is frustrating.
- 7:46Speaker 4: And it's like, you notice how Tamar didn't bring them
- 7:48Speaker 4: up one time on her trip or at all the
- 7:52Speaker 4: season so far, And that's all Gretchen and Slade can
- 7:54Speaker 4: talk about. Well, Slay, who shouldn't even be a part
- 7:57Speaker 4: of it, but you know Gretchen can talk about so
- 7:59Speaker 4: I don't.
- 8:00Speaker 3: It's just I don't like it. I don't like it.
- 8:03Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with she was Cavia Brooks, you
- 8:05Speaker 2: know what I mean.
- 8:05Speaker 1: So to update the audience, the girls on the trip,
- 8:10Speaker 1: we have Emily, Heather and Gretchen is hanging out was
- 8:14Speaker 1: fult of like this slumber party and itaily brings up like, oh,
- 8:19Speaker 1: I've heard you have a song.
- 8:22Speaker 2: That Tamra saying and a recording studio.
- 8:25Speaker 3: Emily didn't bring it up. No, Gretchen's the one that
- 8:28Speaker 3: brought up.
- 8:28Speaker 4: Gretchen goes, oh, I have four songs, and then she
- 8:31Speaker 4: goes and Tamra house are song and it's Gretchen purposely
- 8:34Speaker 4: brought that up. You could tell she could not wait
- 8:36Speaker 4: to get that brought up. So and then Emily was
- 8:38Speaker 4: just like, well, now I'm not gonna let it die now.
- 8:40Speaker 3: I want to hear the song.
- 8:42Speaker 1: So do I.
- 8:42Speaker 3: By the way, so do I? And I don't. I
- 8:45Speaker 3: haven't even heard it yet, So I want to hear
- 8:47Speaker 3: the song.
- 8:49Speaker 2: No, I did too.
- 8:50Speaker 5: I'm like to give you Molly Cyrus and byonce, you know,
- 8:53Speaker 5: most wanted like what.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Was not saying?
- 8:57Speaker 4: She was not trying to like record this was that's
- 9:00Speaker 4: a funny thing between her and her neighbor.
- 9:01Speaker 3: She was not trying to become Beyonce.
- 9:03Speaker 4: Okay, she you know Tamor she makes fun of herself
- 9:06Speaker 4: and takes her top off on television like she's she's
- 9:08Speaker 4: just that girl. And so her and her neighbor were
- 9:11Speaker 4: recording a song and it wasn't to go anywhere.
- 9:14Speaker 3: It was just fun.
- 9:15Speaker 4: And now here it is made into this stupid scandalous
- 9:20Speaker 4: thing that's not there. It's not there. She didn't sleep
- 9:22Speaker 4: with this guy. She's friends with the husband and the wife.
- 9:25Speaker 4: So you can completely reject all that. Okay, just one
- 9:30Speaker 4: more thing that's not true coming out of their minds.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Well, well, let's get into it because the allegation that
- 9:37Speaker 1: Slade has and listen, I gotta be honest as somebody
- 9:41Speaker 1: who enjoyed Gretchen a lot when she was on the
- 9:44Speaker 1: show seventeen years ago, I have to agree with you, Alexis,
- 9:49Speaker 1: and I think in this scene it was the realization
- 9:53Speaker 1: that Gretchen's producer is Slade.
- 9:59Speaker 3: Thank you very much. You said it.
- 10:02Speaker 1: It's girlfriend, that is her, Jimmy Jeame and Terry Liliz
- 10:07Speaker 1: that is her.
- 10:08Speaker 2: That's her manager, it's her producer, it's her slipper.
- 10:12Speaker 1: As you said, it's it is a borderline gross.
- 10:17Speaker 4: But unfortunately, yes, unfortunately he's he's he didn't go to
- 10:20Speaker 4: college to do that.
- 10:21Speaker 3: He didn't.
- 10:22Speaker 4: He doesn't have the he doesn't have the credentials to
- 10:24Speaker 4: be a producer, so he's not it's not landing well,
- 10:26Speaker 4: so she needs to actually hire someone that will do it,
- 10:30Speaker 4: and he needs to go get a job, like I've said.
- 10:33Speaker 3: You know.
- 10:33Speaker 4: Well, and then it came out, which we're going to
- 10:35Speaker 4: get to. Speaking of job, it came out that Gretchen
- 10:38Speaker 4: does pay for everything and he is a living off
- 10:40Speaker 4: of her. So it's like, I mean, and their whole
- 10:43Speaker 4: story doesn't make sense.
- 10:44Speaker 3: So yeah, but I don't know.
- 10:46Speaker 4: I just feel I feel like Gretchen can be so
- 10:50Speaker 4: funny and so fun on her own that she doesn't
- 10:53Speaker 4: need all of this other stuff and to try to
- 10:57Speaker 4: take Tamer down to be the cool girl. Like, I
- 11:00Speaker 4: just think she would have gotten a lot better, you know,
- 11:04Speaker 4: receiving the audience, receiving her better if she just would
- 11:07Speaker 4: have just came on the show.
- 11:09Speaker 3: But look at me, Everyone says that about me.
- 11:10Speaker 4: If I wouldn't have defended John last season, I would
- 11:12Speaker 4: have had a better you know, receiving Here's the thing.
- 11:14Speaker 4: I didn't defend him the whole time. Everything else is
- 11:16Speaker 4: on the chopping room floor. All they aired was me
- 11:19Speaker 4: defending him. So that was just my job last year
- 11:22Speaker 4: was to have that be my persona on the show,
- 11:25Speaker 4: which is fine. However, it is obvious that Gretchen does
- 11:28Speaker 4: want to tear tamer down because Tamor's name doesn't even
- 11:31Speaker 4: come up half the time, and she's the.
- 11:32Speaker 3: One that brings it up. So that's the part that
- 11:35Speaker 3: bothers me.
- 11:36Speaker 1: No, it bothers me too, And it bothers me because look,
- 11:38Speaker 1: when you look at Slade, listen, not an im all
- 11:41Speaker 1: for somebody doing fun Shade, that's the nature of the show.
- 11:45Speaker 1: What's becoming growth to me is the fact that everything
- 11:50Speaker 1: seems to be pre played and pre produced to.
- 11:53Speaker 6: The point where it was pampully obvious they wanted to
- 11:57Speaker 6: get out there that Tambra allegedly he slept with this
- 12:01Speaker 6: person in the studio and that.
- 12:03Speaker 2: They actually have audio of Tamra allegedly having sex, which
- 12:07Speaker 2: to me is disgusting, is gross.
- 12:09Speaker 1: So we go from hospital to alleged roofiness to now
- 12:13Speaker 1: saying that you guys have a sex tape via audio
- 12:17Speaker 1: of this woman and how apparently Slayed heard it.
- 12:23Speaker 2: And then you know.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Gretchen is not making sense because Gretchen literally said that
- 12:28Speaker 1: someone sent the audio to Slade. And then when Emily
- 12:32Speaker 1: looks to Gretchen and says, you said you have the audio.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Gretchen says, no, I've heard the audio of Tamra in
- 12:39Speaker 1: the studio trying to sing the song. So look, Gretchen
- 12:42Speaker 1: obviously lied to Emily's faith, and now I'm questioning once again. Look,
- 12:50Speaker 1: Katie has lied and we know that. But now I'm like, Gretchen.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Katie is not lying when it comes to what you said.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Now I'm like, look, I believe every fucking thing Katie
- 12:58Speaker 1: has said about Bretch at this.
- 13:00Speaker 4: First of all, I'm so glad you caught that because
- 13:02Speaker 4: I caught it and I was gonna bring it up
- 13:04Speaker 4: if if it would have remembered it.
- 13:06Speaker 3: But I totally I had that in my mind.
- 13:08Speaker 4: I'm like, she just got caught lying again over something stupid.
- 13:12Speaker 4: She could have just said Slade heard it or whatever
- 13:14Speaker 4: said she said, no it got sent to Slade.
- 13:17Speaker 3: Okay, No, the stories didn't line up at all.
- 13:20Speaker 4: And the fact, by the way, Tara and this other
- 13:25Speaker 4: you know, neighbor friend and his wife are ready to sue,
- 13:27Speaker 4: so they better shush it. Like she's done. She's like this, yeah, yeah,
- 13:32Speaker 4: they're ready. She's like, this needs to stop. It's the
- 13:34Speaker 4: dumbest rumor I've ever heard it didn't happen, and I'm
- 13:37Speaker 4: friends with them, Like like, how dare them even say?
- 13:41Speaker 3: And then Slade said he heard it or someone heard them.
- 13:43Speaker 4: The song went into that other people were in the studio,
- 13:46Speaker 4: you idiots. It wasn't just him and her in the
- 13:48Speaker 4: studio recording the song.
- 13:50Speaker 3: It's like, I mean it just.
- 13:52Speaker 4: The whole thing is just it gives me that that
- 13:54Speaker 4: icky feeling like ooh you know slimy.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Yeah, well blat slaty slade flat.
- 14:00Speaker 1: The big is this, So you're saying that the person
- 14:04Speaker 1: that they're alleging Tamra have this affair within the studio is.
- 14:10Speaker 7: Actually friends Like yeah, yeah, So the guy is married
- 14:17Speaker 7: and they're both friends with Tamra and they're saying this
- 14:21Speaker 7: never has happened, and they're like ready to sue, which
- 14:25Speaker 7: is interesting because I did hear that you heard it too?
- 14:28Speaker 2: How the names were bleeped out?
- 14:30Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's exactly why, because it is it is
- 14:34Speaker 4: to the point where first of all, this poor neighbor
- 14:37Speaker 4: guy is getting brought into a TV show that he
- 14:39Speaker 4: wants nothing to do with, and the wife and him
- 14:43Speaker 4: are friends with Tamra and he knows that this is
- 14:46Speaker 4: not possible, not even true at any measure. So it's like,
- 14:50Speaker 4: you know, slander and defamation can be proven or libel.
- 14:54Speaker 4: I don't know which one it would be, but anyways,
- 14:56Speaker 4: it can be proven. As we know, Tama's not a
- 15:00Speaker 4: litigious person because she got sued.
- 15:02Speaker 3: It doesn't really appreciate it.
- 15:04Speaker 4: But I mean, I'm speaking for her now, so I
- 15:06Speaker 4: don't know if she really feels that way, but I do.
- 15:08Speaker 4: I think she doesn't want to. But at the same time,
- 15:12Speaker 4: what the heck?
- 15:16Speaker 2: This is reality with the King and I'm Carlos King.
- 15:19Speaker 2: Let's get back into the show. You're saying that.
- 15:25Speaker 1: This couple is tensed that their names are being used
- 15:29Speaker 1: pretty much for a storyline.
- 15:31Speaker 3: For scandalous, salacious stuff that's not true. Yes, they're pissed.
- 15:36Speaker 3: Everyone's pissed. Tamra's pissed too.
- 15:38Speaker 4: But you know, I think if it wouldn't have gone
- 15:41Speaker 4: this far, and it would have been just some little
- 15:43Speaker 4: if you know, tamer would have blown it off because
- 15:45Speaker 4: she does it.
- 15:45Speaker 3: She knows how to do a TV show.
- 15:47Speaker 4: But now it's yeah, it's just it's gross and it's
- 15:50Speaker 4: it's a lie.
- 15:52Speaker 3: So there you have it.
- 15:54Speaker 2: I'm so disappointed. And Gretchen. I just don't think she
- 15:59Speaker 2: needed to come in like this. I don't.
- 16:02Speaker 1: I mean, just listen, I'm gonna say, they said you're
- 16:05Speaker 1: my friends, so I'm gonna I'm gonna compare it to
- 16:07Speaker 1: your last season, right, because again there's gonna be people saying, well,
- 16:10Speaker 1: Carlos Alexis came a hot last season, and I'm and
- 16:14Speaker 1: I want us to talk about it right in your defense,
- 16:17Speaker 1: Like you said, obviously a lot of things weren't shown.
- 16:19Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, at the end.
- 16:21Speaker 1: Of the day, you are in real life getting married
- 16:26Speaker 1: to john and obviously his access on the show.
- 16:30Speaker 2: You're a friend, uh, she's a housewife.
- 16:32Speaker 1: The playing level is definitely not in your favor because
- 16:36Speaker 1: you don't get a chance to say everything you need
- 16:38Speaker 1: to say to defend yourself.
- 16:40Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, you to come
- 16:42Speaker 2: in with this conspiracy, do you like? I think, yes,
- 16:47Speaker 2: go ahead.
- 16:47Speaker 4: That's the difference because I tell you something Carlos along
- 16:49Speaker 4: those lines.
- 16:51Speaker 3: So I would be told don't talk about him.
- 16:53Speaker 4: Like every house I'd be like, stop talking about Johnson,
- 16:55Speaker 4: And I was like, Okay, I don't need.
- 16:57Speaker 3: To talk about him. He's not I have a lot
- 16:58Speaker 3: going on in my life. He is not my everything.
- 17:00Speaker 4: I mean, he is my everything, and I am marrying
- 17:02Speaker 4: him in a few days, but he's not like I
- 17:05Speaker 4: have a lot going on. He didn't need to be
- 17:07Speaker 4: my storyline.
- 17:07Speaker 3: So I would ovoue by that.
- 17:09Speaker 4: And I wouldn't even even if we had a great
- 17:10Speaker 4: night out the night before and I had story about
- 17:12Speaker 4: him or something, I would not talk about it.
- 17:14Speaker 3: Okay, just don't bring up John.
- 17:15Speaker 4: But every freaking scene one of the housewives would bring
- 17:18Speaker 4: him up and say something to me about it. So,
- 17:21Speaker 4: by the way, as you can tell, I'm a passionate,
- 17:24Speaker 4: opinionated human being. And if you bring up my husband,
- 17:27Speaker 4: who I knew I was gonna marry at the time,
- 17:29Speaker 4: even back then, if you bring up my husband, I'm
- 17:32Speaker 4: going to eat you alive. Like, don't bring up his name,
- 17:35Speaker 4: and I will go get the proof. I will get
- 17:36Speaker 4: the truth.
- 17:37Speaker 3: And it will be told.
- 17:38Speaker 4: So that's what happened, And it was really unfair because
- 17:41Speaker 4: I felt like I was damned if I do and
- 17:43Speaker 4: damned if I don't.
- 17:43Speaker 3: Just like Tamara, it was like if I didn't.
- 17:45Speaker 4: Bring him up, someone else would, and then they'd accuse
- 17:47Speaker 4: him of something. That's not true, then they'd have pity
- 17:49Speaker 4: on Shannon when she calls the mess herself.
- 17:51Speaker 3: It's all of her mess. So I was just I
- 17:54Speaker 3: was literally in a tornado.
- 17:55Speaker 4: But you're right, Gretchen's is not that she doesn't have
- 17:59Speaker 4: to bring Tamar's name and none of it needs to
- 18:01Speaker 4: be told.
- 18:01Speaker 3: But I think when Gretchen.
- 18:02Speaker 4: Came on, she's like, who now I can take her down,
- 18:05Speaker 4: you know, and it's backfiring, you know, because Tamra was disliked.
- 18:10Speaker 3: Last season just as much as me, because she is
- 18:12Speaker 3: my friend and she went down with me.
- 18:14Speaker 4: Okay, she came down sunk the lexus because Tamra's my buddy.
- 18:19Speaker 3: Okay.
- 18:20Speaker 4: So that's a true friend, by the way, right there,
- 18:22Speaker 4: that's someone who is a writer die friend, which even
- 18:25Speaker 4: though like she kind of screwed me a little bit
- 18:27Speaker 4: on that last scene of season eighteen, doesn't matter.
- 18:30Speaker 3: The truth is she's my writer die friend. Okay.
- 18:32Speaker 4: So the problem is I think Gretchen was piggybacking on
- 18:36Speaker 4: that and thinking, oh good now the audience hates her,
- 18:38Speaker 4: I'm just going to take her down now, and it's
- 18:41Speaker 4: not working because first of all, what you have aren't facts.
- 18:44Speaker 1: What you have are.
- 18:45Speaker 4: Falsehoods by a false producer telling you what to do.
- 18:49Speaker 4: So get the facts before you bring stuff like that
- 18:52Speaker 4: to a TV show.
- 18:54Speaker 3: It is people's lives, no listen, I Tod not agree more.
- 18:59Speaker 1: And that's why I believe that Gretchen saw that the
- 19:05Speaker 1: audience was not on Tamra's side. And I do believe
- 19:08Speaker 1: that Hear and Slade had a plan to take down
- 19:12Speaker 1: Tamera because they thought that's what the audists wanted to
- 19:15Speaker 1: see and look and their defense, sure, that is probably
- 19:19Speaker 1: what the audists wanted to see. However, the difference is
- 19:23Speaker 1: it has to be something that makes.
- 19:24Speaker 2: Sense and tangible.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Not being Rufie, not going to the hospital after Nickod
- 19:29Speaker 1: releted it, not saying this woman had a fair in
- 19:31Speaker 1: recording studio and you guys have the audio. All of
- 19:34Speaker 1: that to me is when it's becoming to the point
- 19:37Speaker 1: where it's I'm trying to find my word to use
- 19:43Speaker 1: without being so like big like NBC like you are, Alexis.
- 19:46Speaker 2: But it's just it's it's dangerous. I just feel like
- 19:51Speaker 2: it's not fun. It's day jurists lies.
- 19:56Speaker 4: But yeah, that's what I was going to say, the
- 19:57Speaker 4: life part, because here's the deal, Carlos. Sorry, I'm drinking
- 20:01Speaker 4: die coke and I just had hiccup. So here's the thing.
- 20:04Speaker 4: If what they were saying was real, then people would
- 20:09Speaker 4: kind of jump on board. But first of all, the
- 20:10Speaker 4: roofie thing has been shown that it was a lie,
- 20:13Speaker 4: and the Gretchen's trying to backpedal and say she didn't
- 20:15Speaker 4: say it.
- 20:15Speaker 3: And then now the audio they said.
- 20:17Speaker 4: Or that he heard it and all this, they said
- 20:19Speaker 4: they had the actual, you know, evidence of it and
- 20:22Speaker 4: it was sentis late, and then she backpeddled on that.
- 20:24Speaker 4: I think that's also what's making the audience go hm,
- 20:26Speaker 4: because the audience isn't stupid, you know, they're not stupid.
- 20:30Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, And this is why the next day
- 20:34Speaker 1: Gretcha wakes up regretting it. And let's be clear, it's
- 20:38Speaker 1: because her ins Laye had a conversation afterwards and.
- 20:41Speaker 2: She felt like, oh my gosh, this did not go
- 20:43Speaker 2: the way we planned it to go. She knew she
- 20:46Speaker 2: was caught in a lie.
- 20:47Speaker 1: And the fact that she's telling you how an Emily, Hey,
- 20:50Speaker 1: please don't break it up to Tamra.
- 20:52Speaker 2: I just don't want to get into with her. I
- 20:55Speaker 2: don't want to make this a big deal.
- 20:57Speaker 1: It's sort of like, we are going to make this
- 20:59Speaker 1: a big deal because you made it a big deal by.
- 21:02Speaker 2: A lunching that this moment was fucking literally.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Around in a studio and you don't expect this to
- 21:09Speaker 1: come back.
- 21:09Speaker 2: And you know how this show works. I think dretching
- 21:12Speaker 2: overplay her hand.
- 21:13Speaker 3: You're filming a TV show. You think it's not gonna
- 21:15Speaker 3: come out.
- 21:16Speaker 4: There's cameras there, mother ever, there's cameras. But you know,
- 21:25Speaker 4: first of all, they got her naked wasted again, which
- 21:27Speaker 4: they weren't meaning to do.
- 21:28Speaker 3: But second of all, like that's why she was slippery
- 21:31Speaker 3: loose mouth. I mean, she was wasted, okay, but it's.
- 21:34Speaker 4: Like me last I last season though, listen, I'm self deprecating. Okay,
- 21:40Speaker 4: last season when I brought up the videos, I didn't
- 21:43Speaker 4: mean to. And then I was like, I was even
- 21:45Speaker 4: sitting bed again. We're the cameras still rolling then or not,
- 21:47Speaker 4: and we weren't. We weren't drunk then, okay, we were
- 21:49Speaker 4: just up talking. And I get fired up about Johnny
- 21:52Speaker 4: because everything was not true that was being told about him,
- 21:55Speaker 4: and I was I was losing my marbles by how
- 21:57Speaker 4: many accusations and how I needed to calm down, and
- 21:59Speaker 4: I'm like Shannon to stop up and lying.
- 22:01Speaker 3: That's what I wanted to happen. And so anyways, that's
- 22:05Speaker 3: when that came up, and I put my foot literally
- 22:07Speaker 3: like put my foot in my mouth.
- 22:08Speaker 4: Okay, so I can get that camera or Gretchen probably
- 22:13Speaker 4: had a cocktail too.
- 22:14Speaker 3: Many and then was like, ooh, this is fun.
- 22:16Speaker 4: Let's just get it all out there, and then regretted
- 22:20Speaker 4: it the next morning.
- 22:21Speaker 3: That's what I think happened.
- 22:23Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna say this.
- 22:27Speaker 1: And they haven't taped the reunion yet on those coming up.
- 22:32Speaker 2: Listen as of now.
- 22:34Speaker 1: As of now, I will be surprised and Gretchen's acts
- 22:37Speaker 1: back next season.
- 22:39Speaker 2: I just don't see a world in wish she camera
- 22:42Speaker 2: co from this.
- 22:43Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know what is the problem
- 22:46Speaker 3: like this, Bravo is its own animal. I don't know.
- 22:49Speaker 4: They do things sometimes that are just it doesn't make
- 22:51Speaker 4: sense to us, but then they I don't, so I
- 22:53Speaker 4: don't know. I can't even I have tried to project
- 22:56Speaker 4: the future with all of that before. I never thought
- 22:58Speaker 4: I I get I'd never get thought I get about
- 23:01Speaker 4: asked back after ten years.
- 23:02Speaker 3: So you know, I just I leave it to them.
- 23:05Speaker 4: They obviously know what they're doing because it's our twentieth
- 23:08Speaker 4: season now, So yeah, whatever.
- 23:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't.
- 23:11Speaker 1: Project you're right about that. You're right about that about
- 23:14Speaker 1: that at all. A theme that I thought was super
- 23:20Speaker 1: said and one of the reasons why I do enjoy
- 23:24Speaker 1: watching Gina. So you know, Travini's Gina's boyfriend is trying
- 23:29Speaker 1: to get custody of his children, and when it comes
- 23:34Speaker 1: to the mother of his children, she's preventing their son allegedly.
- 23:40Speaker 1: That's what Gina is saying, that she's allegedly preventing their
- 23:43Speaker 1: son from being around them, proclaiming that he doesn't feel
- 23:47Speaker 1: safe around Gina and Travis, and Travis has a court
- 23:51Speaker 1: day coming up.
- 23:53Speaker 2: It really made me feel sad, and again it is
- 23:55Speaker 2: one of the reasons.
- 23:56Speaker 1: Why I do love this show, because we can get
- 23:58Speaker 1: to the mess and the scandal, the scamp, those nature things,
- 24:01Speaker 1: but it's these real story lies that I think makes
- 24:04Speaker 1: oh See so special because I appreciate it seeing Gena
- 24:08Speaker 1: emok about this.
- 24:09Speaker 2: Obviously, you know what.
- 24:10Speaker 1: It's like to be divorced and to try to make
- 24:15Speaker 1: things work when it comes to co parenting. What did
- 24:19Speaker 1: you think about what Gena Travis is going through and
- 24:21Speaker 1: what advice would you give to them?
- 24:24Speaker 3: I mean, it sinks.
- 24:25Speaker 4: That's why I said nobody wants to get married to
- 24:28Speaker 4: get the divorce. I mean, it just is not in
- 24:30Speaker 4: people's People don't walk down the aisle to get a
- 24:33Speaker 4: divorce and then have kids hoping that they raise them
- 24:35Speaker 4: and broken family. It is the hardest thing for parents
- 24:38Speaker 4: to do is to lose their kids fifty.
- 24:41Speaker 3: Percent of the time. And I think that. I think
- 24:45Speaker 3: the only.
- 24:46Speaker 4: Thing Gina and Travis can do is be steadfast and
- 24:49Speaker 4: stay calm and show their truth and court.
- 24:52Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, did they say this is going to
- 24:54Speaker 3: go to court? Didn't she say? I'm thinking she said she.
- 24:57Speaker 4: I don't know if they, but anyway, if there's a
- 24:59Speaker 4: bottle over the battle over the kids, it's going to
- 25:01Speaker 4: go to court. So I just think they have to
- 25:03Speaker 4: stay I mean, lawyer up with the best one you
- 25:05Speaker 4: can and stay calm and don't don't bat mouth that
- 25:09Speaker 4: other parent, take the facts. Start journaling, like I journaled
- 25:13Speaker 4: everything all the time when I you know, when we
- 25:15Speaker 4: were fifty to fifty and then I got the kids
- 25:16Speaker 4: full time, but I journaled every day, what would happen,
- 25:20Speaker 4: everything in and out. I sent it all to my
- 25:22Speaker 4: attorney every time, like you you have to have the
- 25:25Speaker 4: the you know, the story behind it too to and
- 25:28Speaker 4: the facts to prove it.
- 25:30Speaker 3: Heart I feel horrible for.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Them now, ad adtu.
- 25:35Speaker 1: That's so interesting because on the real health wots of Miami,
- 25:38Speaker 1: that is something that Lisa talked about. Her lawyers recommended
- 25:43Speaker 1: her to do as well as to take note of everything,
- 25:46Speaker 1: to drink everything, every single thing is it is one
- 25:49Speaker 1: of the reasons to do that Alexis is to have
- 25:53Speaker 1: this sort of log of what happens so that you
- 25:56Speaker 1: can figure a case.
- 25:57Speaker 2: In a court of law.
- 25:59Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so yeah, you have to. I mean you
- 26:04Speaker 3: have to have it.
- 26:04Speaker 4: And that was the number one thing from the attorney
- 26:06Speaker 4: was just Alexis journal every day.
- 26:08Speaker 3: So and I still have them. I mean it didn't
- 26:10Speaker 3: matter because we didn't have to go to court. It
- 26:11Speaker 3: just it just they just moved in but which was
- 26:14Speaker 3: a blessing in disguise. But I did have it.
- 26:17Speaker 4: So I think that Gina needs to start that today
- 26:20Speaker 4: and maybe even go back in our memory and remember
- 26:23Speaker 4: certain to go back to texts and look at the
- 26:25Speaker 4: text from her and Travis Stones and record things from
- 26:28Speaker 4: that so that you can redrag your memory about what
- 26:30Speaker 4: happened in April, you know kind of thing. So it
- 26:33Speaker 4: just sinks that it seeks to be on a television
- 26:35Speaker 4: show and have to you know that that's exploited. But
- 26:38Speaker 4: you are on reality, so you're right, your personal life
- 26:40Speaker 4: does come out, you know.
- 26:42Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 26:43Speaker 4: Yeah, But she's relatable because a lot of people go
- 26:46Speaker 4: through this. I mean, look at the doors right in California,
- 26:48Speaker 4: it's like seventy five percent, So a lot of people
- 26:50Speaker 4: can relate to this.
- 26:52Speaker 1: Which is wild, which is wild, But no, I think
- 26:54Speaker 1: Gina's so relatable. Again, we saw her battle alcoholism, the
- 26:59Speaker 1: d UI, this, this relationship with Travis, going through divorce
- 27:03Speaker 1: from her ex husband, being as thing a mom, getting
- 27:06Speaker 1: her real estate license. Like listen, I know, Gina Emily
- 27:09Speaker 1: get a lot of shit on social media and whatever.
- 27:12Speaker 2: That's that.
- 27:13Speaker 1: But what I will say is I think Gina has
- 27:15Speaker 1: always been somebody that's given her reality to the show
- 27:19Speaker 1: and that should not be taken for granted because a
- 27:21Speaker 1: lot of these other women do not do so.
- 27:24Speaker 2: Which leads me to the next topic of the conversation,
- 27:26Speaker 2: which was.
- 27:28Speaker 1: The moment Alexis that went left and I did not
- 27:32Speaker 1: see it coming.
- 27:33Speaker 2: So the girls are hanging out towards the end of the.
- 27:36Speaker 1: Episode and Shannon is talking about, you know, what she
- 27:40Speaker 1: is going through in therapy her her parents. Tama listen now,
- 27:47Speaker 1: Shannon is evoting, and I'm like, okay, it's nice to
- 27:51Speaker 1: hear personal story. Talma's like, oh, you know your father
- 27:56Speaker 1: had a drinking problem too. Is that's something that you
- 27:58Speaker 1: know you talk on a therapy and Alexis Bellino. Shannon
- 28:03Speaker 1: lost her shit and felt that Tamera had no right
- 28:07Speaker 1: to bring this up on television right now, whether or
- 28:11Speaker 1: not that is something that she kept private. I get
- 28:16Speaker 1: that because the father is on camera to defit himself.
- 28:19Speaker 2: So I get it. I get it, I get I
- 28:21Speaker 2: get it.
- 28:22Speaker 1: The part that I don't get and I would love
- 28:24Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on it. And it then became
- 28:27Speaker 1: a question of Tamra's intentions in terms of why did
- 28:32Speaker 1: she bring it up and what we talked about earlier
- 28:35Speaker 1: that I wanted to relate to this scene is what
- 28:38Speaker 1: Tamra said at the time of the episode.
- 28:40Speaker 2: I'm damned if I do. I'm damned if I don't.
- 28:43Speaker 1: And I said this last week to you about I'm
- 28:46Speaker 1: getting assists that they want to ice.
- 28:48Speaker 2: Al Tamra again. I don't.
- 28:51Speaker 5: I did not think for one second that Tamera brought
- 28:55Speaker 5: up her father's alcoholism to relate to the girls and
- 29:02Speaker 5: the audience that Shannon also had to take a problem.
- 29:05Speaker 2: I thought that was a reach. I didn't get that
- 29:08Speaker 2: one bad.
- 29:10Speaker 4: I have to be honest because I have to act
- 29:11Speaker 4: like Tamar's not my friend right now, and I try
- 29:13Speaker 4: to be objective during this podcast so that the truth,
- 29:16Speaker 4: like I want to tell, I want to speak the
- 29:17Speaker 4: truth from what I.
- 29:18Speaker 3: Think the viewers think.
- 29:19Speaker 4: Okay, I I think in hindsight, and I have not
- 29:23Speaker 4: spoken to Tamar about this, so I'm totally speaking not
- 29:26Speaker 4: I don't know if this is how she felt, but
- 29:28Speaker 4: I think she probably regretted it. Alf I think in
- 29:32Speaker 4: the moment, she one hundred percent was trying to relate
- 29:34Speaker 4: to Shannon, be kind to Shannon, like help Shannon.
- 29:37Speaker 3: I think at the.
- 29:38Speaker 4: After that she probably was like, Yeah, it probably wasn't
- 29:41Speaker 4: the worst thing to say.
- 29:42Speaker 3: Because I'm watching it, I'm going, ohugh, oh, you're trying to.
- 29:46Speaker 8: Get back in there, and then you just happened to
- 29:48Speaker 8: just go there. The little you know, could totally be
- 29:51Speaker 8: taken but taken bad. But the problem is Shannon is
- 29:57Speaker 8: very sensitive to that subject. You know, she's defensive about
- 30:00Speaker 8: the subject of alcohol in general because of everyone thinks
- 30:03Speaker 8: she has a drinking problem.
- 30:05Speaker 3: So I think that that it really went low for Shannon.
- 30:08Speaker 4: But I also think Shannon is just not going to ever,
- 30:11Speaker 4: you know, I think Tama's trying to do it for
- 30:12Speaker 4: the show and like, Okay, look, we got to move on.
- 30:15Speaker 4: We're creating a show here, and Shannon's just holds grudges
- 30:19Speaker 4: and stays bitter and is not going to move forward.
- 30:22Speaker 4: I mean, she's not budging at all, like you know,
- 30:25Speaker 4: and and I do see honestly where Shannon could be
- 30:28Speaker 4: like that was kind of low Tamar. You know, like
- 30:30Speaker 4: if that was set in confidence, and that's the truth,
- 30:32Speaker 4: that it was set in confidence and not to be
- 30:35Speaker 4: you know, not to be shared on television, which I
- 30:37Speaker 4: didn't watch all the other seasons, so I don't know
- 30:39Speaker 4: if it got brought up in any other episode that
- 30:41Speaker 4: you know, her dad had a drinking problem. But anyway,
- 30:44Speaker 4: either any way around it, I kind of see where
- 30:48Speaker 4: it should not have been said. There's other ways to
- 30:51Speaker 4: try to relate with Shannon. But I don't think Tamra
- 30:54Speaker 4: did it intentionally to start. You could even tell by
- 30:57Speaker 4: Tamra's personality or like or like like Aura in that moment,
- 31:02Speaker 4: She's sitting there like really concerned and she's like, well
- 31:05Speaker 4: this if this is festering inside, like you really do
- 31:07Speaker 4: you know?
- 31:07Speaker 3: She was coming from a place of caring.
- 31:10Speaker 4: It sounded like not like because what Tamma's on on camera,
- 31:12Speaker 4: Tamra on camera, Tamera, Oh.
- 31:14Speaker 3: That was good? Anyway, that was I didn't I didn't
- 31:17Speaker 3: know that. By the way, on.
- 31:19Speaker 4: Camera, camera camera, if you can see that, she's like,
- 31:24Speaker 4: can't wait to throw that napkin in Jin's face, you know,
- 31:27Speaker 4: or whatever.
- 31:27Speaker 3: But this seemed like a heart felt, like in the
- 31:30Speaker 3: moment kind of Tamera.
- 31:31Speaker 2: You know, first of all, I actual people hunch percent,
- 31:38Speaker 2: you know. I agree that. That's why I said earlier,
- 31:42Speaker 2: I don't understand why Shanna felt like that's not a
- 31:44Speaker 2: good place to break up something about my own father.
- 31:46Speaker 2: I have as for sin agree with that that's.
- 31:48Speaker 1: Not Tarra's place to break up anything relating to someone else.
- 31:53Speaker 1: My biggest thing was I do not think Tamra had
- 31:56Speaker 1: bad attentions right taking it up to Shannon. I thought
- 32:01Speaker 1: the same thing you did, Like, she's in the moment,
- 32:05Speaker 1: she's trying to get back in there, and I think
- 32:08Speaker 1: what the audience doesn't quite understand, and I think, oh,
- 32:12Speaker 1: I'm curious if you know more about this obviously than
- 32:15Speaker 1: we do, because you're friends with camera. Shanna and Tamra,
- 32:20Speaker 1: we're best friends for over a decade and had several conversations.
- 32:26Speaker 1: And one thing I do know producing these shows, Alexis,
- 32:30Speaker 1: is unless you tell somebody, do not bring us up
- 32:35Speaker 1: on camera when I'm about to tell you.
- 32:38Speaker 2: There's so much.
- 32:39Speaker 1: Information you know about a person that when you're trying
- 32:42Speaker 1: to be really the moment, it is sometimes hard to
- 32:45Speaker 1: say to yourself, oh, but cameras aren't here, I should
- 32:49Speaker 1: not bring us up because I don't know if that's
- 32:51Speaker 1: something that's off limits, whereas there's other things I know
- 32:54Speaker 1: that are off limits.
- 32:56Speaker 2: And that's the reason why I didn't think Tamra was
- 32:59Speaker 2: trying to be a bad friend.
- 33:01Speaker 1: I thought that Tamar was like, oh, I know this
- 33:03Speaker 1: because we talked a lot, and that's why way she
- 33:05Speaker 1: saw Shanni's reaction, she did not double down on it.
- 33:09Speaker 2: She did not make excuses for it.
- 33:10Speaker 1: She said, Okay, I didn't know, but I wasn't trying
- 33:13Speaker 1: to do that and felt the need to lead this
- 33:15Speaker 1: scene to crime. But do you think the audience and
- 33:18Speaker 1: maybe you know more too, that she had Tamar really
- 33:21Speaker 1: had a brow friendship at one.
- 33:22Speaker 3: Point they did. They did, and I do agree with
- 33:27Speaker 3: you on that.
- 33:27Speaker 4: I didn't think about that perspective, but yeah, because like,
- 33:30Speaker 4: but here's the thing, like Tamara knows a lot about me,
- 33:33Speaker 4: I know a lot about her, and we don't talk
- 33:35Speaker 4: about those things on camera because we have said those
- 33:37Speaker 4: exact words to each other, like this is this is
- 33:39Speaker 4: just between and you, you know, kind of thing kind
- 33:41Speaker 4: of like music off the record when you're talking to
- 33:43Speaker 4: a reporter, you know, it's like yes, So so I
- 33:47Speaker 4: think that I And perhaps it was because it was
- 33:50Speaker 4: so in the moment that Tamra was like oops, you know,
- 33:53Speaker 4: I guess now I truely and I should ask her
- 33:55Speaker 4: about this because I haven't talked to her about that,
- 33:58Speaker 4: but I wonder if she did, like after, you know,
- 34:00Speaker 4: on the drive home, kind of think yeah, maybe I
- 34:02Speaker 4: should have said that, you know, because you have to
- 34:05Speaker 4: go back in your whole ten years of a friendship
- 34:07Speaker 4: and go, wait, what did we say not to say?
- 34:09Speaker 3: And what did we say? Was okay to say? You
- 34:11Speaker 3: know so?
- 34:12Speaker 4: And maybe Tamer was thinking Shannon's drinking issue is so
- 34:16Speaker 4: public now you know, the whole world knows it and
- 34:18Speaker 4: sees it, so maybe it's not a bad thing to
- 34:19Speaker 4: talk about her dad now too, because it is out there.
- 34:22Speaker 3: So I don't know.
- 34:23Speaker 4: I don't know, Carlos. I wouldn't have said it. I'm
- 34:26Speaker 4: telling you that I wouldn't. If I was in Tamer's
- 34:28Speaker 4: shoes and had known that information, I would not have
- 34:31Speaker 4: gone there.
- 34:34Speaker 3: So let's just that, get that clear.
- 34:37Speaker 1: Yeah, now, listen, that's why if that not the thing,
- 34:40Speaker 1: that's why it's so hard with these shows because on
- 34:43Speaker 1: one hand, we want real friendships and we want broke conversations,
- 34:47Speaker 1: but when it happened, the other person breaks up the
- 34:53Speaker 1: fourth wall and says, I'll want that to be probably television,
- 34:56Speaker 1: which again I get it. Shannon's ninety six year old
- 34:59Speaker 1: five is not to defend himself. And look, I'm somebody
- 35:04Speaker 1: who has a dad, thankfully who's still alive, and I
- 35:08Speaker 1: don't want to expose his business to the world because
- 35:12Speaker 1: I decided to be a person on camera, not him.
- 35:15Speaker 1: So I totally get it. The response though, with so
- 35:20Speaker 1: Jen felt like, no, I believe Tamara did that have
- 35:23Speaker 1: with bad attention. I think she did it so that
- 35:25Speaker 1: the world and the girls can relate Shannon's alcohol.
- 35:30Speaker 2: Looked to her dance and see that it's a pattern
- 35:31Speaker 2: in the history there.
- 35:33Speaker 4: Said let me go get to the bottom of thisss
- 35:35Speaker 4: and went in and legitimately I believed her when she
- 35:38Speaker 4: was like going and she wasn't trying to stir the pot,
- 35:40Speaker 4: she would like camera. I don't remember how she worded it,
- 35:43Speaker 4: so paraphrasing, but like Tamra, what did you mean that?
- 35:46Speaker 4: What was that meant as a dig? And then when
- 35:50Speaker 4: Tamra says no, then aren't in a good place?
- 35:52Speaker 2: I don't think.
- 35:53Speaker 3: I mean, it seems like they're always bickering on the show.
- 35:55Speaker 4: But then she goes to Jen, goes to Shannon and
- 35:59Speaker 4: then said, look, I asked her, it wasn't a dick.
- 36:02Speaker 3: She said, it wasn't a dick.
- 36:03Speaker 4: So I appreciated Jenn in that moment for actually being
- 36:06Speaker 4: the one trying to get to the bottom of it
- 36:08Speaker 4: and being objective for a moment instead of being biased.
- 36:12Speaker 1: You know, I agree, I agree, I agree, and look,
- 36:16Speaker 1: Shannon's like whatever.
- 36:17Speaker 2: I believe. What I believe is she left.
- 36:20Speaker 1: Listen, I, like I said to you before, Shannon is
- 36:25Speaker 1: great television. I based on what I saw this episode two,
- 36:31Speaker 1: I am still going.
- 36:33Speaker 2: To say this. I think Shannon needs a break.
- 36:36Speaker 1: Because I'm over the walking away, I'm over not dealing
- 36:42Speaker 1: with things hit on and really having a conversation. She
- 36:45Speaker 1: doesn't like Tamra. And look, what I will say is
- 36:48Speaker 1: is Shannathan fence. I understand because Tamra was not nice
- 36:52Speaker 1: to her last season and the things that Tamarra said
- 36:55Speaker 1: to Shannon was not nice.
- 36:56Speaker 2: And I understand that. But you're either going to move
- 37:01Speaker 2: on or not.
- 37:03Speaker 1: And if your stance is and I do not want
- 37:06Speaker 1: to be friends with you, just stand on business, stay
- 37:10Speaker 1: on that shit and don't play this sort of like
- 37:13Speaker 1: dangling situation to where we're fine.
- 37:16Speaker 2: We're not fine. I'm ready, I'm not ready.
- 37:19Speaker 1: I think that's confusing for any friend to be like
- 37:23Speaker 1: where did we go from here? And I based on
- 37:25Speaker 1: this episode, I just don't think Shannon Tamara would ever
- 37:29Speaker 1: be friends again.
- 37:30Speaker 2: I think Tamara's trying.
- 37:31Speaker 1: I think Tamra other still, she did a lot of
- 37:34Speaker 1: dash shit to her last season.
- 37:36Speaker 2: But I also think Shannon is not.
- 37:37Speaker 1: Giving Tamara any sort of any sort of half to
- 37:44Speaker 1: have a reconciliation, to at least be friends, maybe not
- 37:48Speaker 1: best friends, but to at least be friends.
- 37:51Speaker 4: Well my take on that is to kind of top
- 37:55Speaker 4: with yourself, like go along with what you're saying, is
- 37:58Speaker 4: I think their friendship would never be more more than
- 38:00Speaker 4: a TV friendship at this point.
- 38:01Speaker 3: I think too much water is at the bridge.
- 38:03Speaker 4: I think that it would be a working relationship, which
- 38:07Speaker 4: is what needs to happen on these TV shows. Not
- 38:09Speaker 4: everyone can be best friends, not everyone can have a
- 38:12Speaker 4: true friendship aside from the show.
- 38:14Speaker 3: You have to have the TV friendships and you have
- 38:16Speaker 3: to have the real friendships.
- 38:17Speaker 4: So I think that that is what Shannon should try
- 38:20Speaker 4: to do, is at least have enough kumbaya.
- 38:23Speaker 3: They're not going to call each other and go off
- 38:24Speaker 3: for coffee. I mean, let's be real, They're not.
- 38:25Speaker 4: There's I mean, and you're talking about how bad Tamra
- 38:28Speaker 4: was to Shannon, but Shannon ghosted Tamra when Tamar got
- 38:31Speaker 4: kicked off the show, ghosted her after a ten year
- 38:34Speaker 4: of friendship, so you know, so I don't know, there's
- 38:37Speaker 4: a lot of there's a lot of things between both
- 38:39Speaker 4: of them that were wrong and that showed, you know,
- 38:42Speaker 4: and then Tamara never felt like Shannon Barah felt like
- 38:48Speaker 4: Tamar felt like Shannon never actually like reached out and
- 38:51Speaker 4: said how are you?
- 38:53Speaker 3: How is your life? It was always Tamar trying to
- 38:55Speaker 3: fix Shannon.
- 38:56Speaker 4: But along those lines when you said Shannon needs a pause,
- 39:00Speaker 4: Here's the thing. Shannon keeps saying in her interviews confessionals
- 39:06Speaker 4: that she's never been happier.
- 39:07Speaker 3: But yet she's crying every single episode. She's never smiling anymore.
- 39:11Speaker 3: She's it was even last season. She's just she's not happy.
- 39:14Speaker 4: So I do feel like she needs a reset button,
- 39:17Speaker 4: like a little maybe a pause would have her start
- 39:19Speaker 4: getting into her own life, get a hobby, get find
- 39:21Speaker 4: something else that makes you excited about life again, you know.
- 39:26Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean maybe a pause would be good
- 39:28Speaker 3: for her.
- 39:30Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that's my think.
- 39:34Speaker 1: I think when it comes to Shannon, I think she's
- 39:37Speaker 1: had a lot of bad things happen to her right
- 39:41Speaker 1: and she will always give my grace for that.
- 39:44Speaker 2: I don't think.
- 39:46Speaker 4: Self induced I have to do Okay, no, no, no,
- 39:50Speaker 4: let's let's talk about let's talk about it.
- 39:52Speaker 2: Obviously, I was.
- 39:54Speaker 1: Going back to the first introduction of what she was
- 39:58Speaker 1: going through with a divorce.
- 40:00Speaker 3: Dat years ago. Okay, yeah, like like.
- 40:03Speaker 2: This the pattern here. Listen it. I may be the
- 40:06Speaker 2: minority in the situation, that's fine.
- 40:10Speaker 1: I don't think Shannon has ever healed from David.
- 40:16Speaker 9: I watched the show and looked when a man cheats
- 40:22Speaker 9: only you in that way and the embarrassedment that.
- 40:27Speaker 2: Followed, and you have.
- 40:30Speaker 1: Daughters, right, I think that I and you're still filming
- 40:35Speaker 1: a TV show.
- 40:37Speaker 2: I don't think Shannon ever had the time to heal
- 40:42Speaker 2: from David and everything.
- 40:45Speaker 1: Like you said that We're going to be honest here
- 40:48Speaker 1: that has been self induced is because of my opinion
- 40:52Speaker 1: she had she has. She has not allowed herself to
- 40:56Speaker 1: heal from what her David went through because she never
- 41:00Speaker 1: all that matters with and I think like most women,
- 41:03Speaker 1: like most women who deal with infidelity, I do believe
- 41:06Speaker 1: she thought David would change.
- 41:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I didn't.
- 41:12Speaker 4: I didn't watch that season, but I heard about obviously
- 41:15Speaker 4: the news and stuff that I I mean, my heart
- 41:17Speaker 4: goes out to anyone who gets cheated on, for sure,
- 41:20Speaker 4: and any any marriage that dissolves, because regardless of his
- 41:24Speaker 4: fault it is, or if it's fifty to fifty of faults,
- 41:26Speaker 4: it's not easy and it stinks. So maybe you are
- 41:29Speaker 4: one hundred percent right that that is what catapulted all
- 41:32Speaker 4: of the tornado that is around Shannon. You know, like,
- 41:36Speaker 4: maybe that is yeah, yeah, so that's that's pretty insightful.
- 41:42Speaker 2: Well, you're not trying to be a like, say, you know,
- 41:43Speaker 2: I've been doing this for a long time. I'm talking
- 41:48Speaker 2: to me a little bit of sightful.
- 41:50Speaker 1: So hopefully that that gives reasons So listed I'm asking
- 41:54Speaker 1: for the plause because I think she.
- 41:56Speaker 2: Needs a year off to heal herself.
- 41:58Speaker 1: And I I just don't think she has done the
- 42:01Speaker 1: work because rightfully so, she hasn't had the time because
- 42:05Speaker 1: she's been filming ever since that whole situation happened. But nevertheless, nevertheless, listen,
- 42:11Speaker 1: oh see, is a Katie less season? My last question
- 42:17Speaker 1: for you, Alexi before ibably let you go to your busy, busy,
- 42:19Speaker 1: busy busy life.
- 42:20Speaker 2: My darling, are you missing Katie from the show?
- 42:26Speaker 3: I am.
- 42:27Speaker 4: I don't know if I'm in the minority or the majority,
- 42:29Speaker 4: but I you know, and I'm even a little bit
- 42:32Speaker 4: mad still about her lying about the whole audio and
- 42:35Speaker 4: memo thing. But see how I can get over things
- 42:37Speaker 4: because I'm forty eight years old and it's like, okay,
- 42:39Speaker 4: it's let's.
- 42:40Speaker 3: Move on everybody. But I am I. I don't see
- 42:44Speaker 3: a way that she can be around the women.
- 42:45Speaker 4: It seems like they have iced her out and they
- 42:49Speaker 4: don't trust her enough to have her even in a
- 42:50Speaker 4: realm of work, realm way.
- 42:52Speaker 3: But of the show.
- 42:54Speaker 4: But I loved her confessionals. I think she's funny. I
- 42:59Speaker 4: love her. Her husband, so I you know, I want
- 43:02Speaker 4: more of him on the show because I think he's
- 43:03Speaker 4: the crack up, you know, and he doesn't.
- 43:06Speaker 3: Produce her obviously, and he does it.
- 43:07Speaker 4: You know, he is a mate that's like, I'm your
- 43:10Speaker 4: companion and I'm here to defend you, but I'm not
- 43:11Speaker 4: gonna I'm not gonna.
- 43:12Speaker 3: Do your job for you or be your business partner.
- 43:15Speaker 3: So anyway, I just I miss her.
- 43:19Speaker 1: I do.
- 43:21Speaker 3: I hope that.
- 43:22Speaker 4: I mean, I thought she's at least it's the reunion, right, Like,
- 43:26Speaker 4: I don't know, do you have any intel on that, Carlos,
- 43:28Speaker 4: give us the intel.
- 43:30Speaker 2: Look at you after we have a good question. You know,
- 43:34Speaker 2: I love that.
- 43:35Speaker 4: You have friends in high places, honey, So you you
- 43:38Speaker 4: give us a little bit of goose. Like I said
- 43:40Speaker 4: last week, juseid gossip, give us a lib. I just
- 43:48Speaker 4: hope at the reunion and can speak a little bit
- 43:50Speaker 4: of her mind.
- 43:51Speaker 3: You know she's not perfect.
- 43:53Speaker 4: We know she has a slippery mouth when it and
- 43:54Speaker 4: and and you know, but I don't feel like she
- 43:57Speaker 4: has a heart like Gretchen has. I feel like Gretchen
- 43:58Speaker 4: came in and is telling why and just in destruction mode.
- 44:01Speaker 4: I feel like Katie simply has loose lips and doesn't
- 44:05Speaker 4: mean things to slip out when they do, and then
- 44:07Speaker 4: she back peddles. Well, I think they're totally two different intentions.
- 44:11Speaker 2: I agree, And look, I think I think I miss her.
- 44:17Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you why.
- 44:18Speaker 1: Number one, I do one thousand, one hundred percent believe
- 44:21Speaker 1: she'll be ole to you again.
- 44:22Speaker 2: One percent.
- 44:23Speaker 1: Okay, so we get we get to see that for sure.
- 44:27Speaker 1: I drew you, Alexus. I miss her because at the
- 44:30Speaker 1: end of the day she added something that was interesting
- 44:35Speaker 1: to watch, brother than I thought she was a liar,
- 44:37Speaker 1: and listen, I do think she has lied. However, she's
- 44:41Speaker 1: not the first the only Housewatch we have lied about
- 44:43Speaker 1: some feet so so I have never ever ever asked
- 44:48Speaker 1: for the firing of Katie Janella.
- 44:51Speaker 2: I will say this, love her, hate her. She brought
- 44:53Speaker 2: something interesting to the show.
- 44:56Speaker 1: She it was, and that's why I said to me
- 44:58Speaker 1: to the audience, she this enigma. My opinion about her
- 45:04Speaker 1: remains the same. But I never was said give off
- 45:07Speaker 1: my show. It was more so like if you can't
- 45:09Speaker 1: handle they, he'd get off the kitchen. But I would
- 45:13Speaker 1: rather see her fight through getting her voice heard than
- 45:17Speaker 1: what i've seen now.
- 45:19Speaker 2: And I'll leave it at that.
- 45:21Speaker 3: I agree.
- 45:22Speaker 4: I hope she comes on that reunion if what you
- 45:24Speaker 4: say is true, I hope she comes on that reunion
- 45:27Speaker 4: and is strong, bold, has a voice and says her
- 45:32Speaker 4: peace to where the Bramos like, yeah, we kind of
- 45:36Speaker 4: eat her back, you know, And hopefully the other women can,
- 45:39Speaker 4: you know, have a little bit of a shift in heart,
- 45:41Speaker 4: maybe just a little just I don't know.
- 45:43Speaker 3: I don't think Heather de Row will ever im was
- 45:45Speaker 3: shifting heart with her. But we'll see. I mean, Heather
- 45:47Speaker 3: is pretty, Heather is pretty forgiving, so we'll see.
- 45:50Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope, So, I hope, So, I hope so. Well, look,
- 45:53Speaker 2: let's Melina. I can't think you enough for stepping into
