- 1:04ton of recaps over on the Patreon, Patreon dot com back slash Drama Darling
- 1:10and boy oh boy, oh boy, just to just to let you guys
- 1:12know on what's happening here. Today we're doing Beverly Hills and tomorrow will be
- 1:18Summer House and The Trader. This week we are skipping the Feud and we're
- 1:30going to come back to that in two weeks and do three episodes at once
- 1:37because we need to break from break from I say, I forget how I
- 1:52what I say? Well, I'm very excit as we are loving Capoti versus
- 1:57the Swans is just super fun. And we do before we get into our
- 2:04recap, we've got some interesting dish to serve up here, serving dish first
- 2:10and foremost before we get into something that's quite unusual for us to cover.
- 2:15I do have some breaking news. Deadline is reporting that Rachel is suing Arianna
- 2:24vander Pump rules Revenge porn. Rachel Levis sues Tom Sandoval and Ariana Mattox over
- 2:30Scandabal fall out. It was a lawsuit filed in La. Yes, yes,
- 2:38another lawsuit dropped Scandival. This is what it's what is happening, Okay,
- 2:49So basically it's saying here. The filing says, it is clear that
- 2:54Bravo deliberately sacrificed Levis for the sake of its commercial interests from its refusal to
- 3:00allow her the opportunity to tell her side of the story and defend herself,
- 3:04which she repeatedly begged for permission to do. As the nineteen page complaint goes
- 3:09on to state, what you saw on TV in Vanderpunk's tenth season may not
- 3:15have been all that was really going on. So yeah, this is very
- 3:22very very interesting. Yeah there, you know there are there aren't a ton
- 3:28of details here that I can see from like I don't I'm not reading the
- 3:31file, so but you can obviously dig deep interested to see what Bravo Docket
- 3:37has to say about it. And this is all because of scandaval. What
- 3:45do you guys think about this? The Bravo Docket's working overtime this week because
- 3:49there's this is the third file to drop, I mean, you know so,
- 3:57And the revenge porn thing is legit if it went down the way that
- 4:00we've been told it went down. So yes, it says due to a
- 4:05narrative deliberately fomented by Bravo Evolution and the cast, Levis became an object of
- 4:12public scorn and ridicule. And it says lost in the mix was that Levis
- 4:17was a victim of the predatory and dishonest behavior of an older man who recorded
- 4:23sexually explicit videos of her without her knowledge or consent, which were then distributed,
- 4:28disseminated, and discussed publicly by a scorned woman seeking vengeance. Catalyzing the
- 4:33scandal, Levis ultimately checked herself into a mental health facility and remained there for
- 4:39three months, while Bravo Evolution and the Cast milked the interest for excoration,
- 4:46the interest her excoration had peaked. Wow, there's so that's that's the statement.
- 4:53What I'm not hearing because I remember we talked about it at the time,
- 4:57and I believe, if I'm not mistaken, Ariana mean, she never
- 5:00sent that video to anyone, correct, And I didn't hear in that any
- 5:06accusation of her distributing the video. Arianna. I thought she did send it,
- 5:14she showed it. I don't know if there's a difference, yeah,
- 5:17because that's what I thought when you first started, because did she show it
- 5:20or she said she told people about it. I think we thought she showed
- 5:26it to friends, and then she said she told them what she saw,
- 5:30which is two very different things. I think that's how it went down,
- 5:32but I'm not one hundred percent. And she cleared up later that she never
- 5:36sent it to anyone. Yes, and I believe she said she destroyed it,
- 5:43she deleted it, But I could be wrong, but that may have
- 5:46been after she obviously saw it and perhaps she showed it to somebody. I
- 5:49also love that the way they describe Sandival like older than I'm like thinking Tom
- 5:58Selleck. You know, yeah, right, slick, that's conjuring up for
- 6:04me. You know, Oh my god, the Celik of all the scam
- 6:11selc I don't know. But now that's a whole different story right there.
- 6:15And we think what we saw that on Friends when he dated Monica both with
- 6:18a mustache? Oh yeah, good point. Is Zelig the original worm with
- 6:26a mustache? Wow? Probably? Or your dad, I mean all of
- 6:30our dads in the seventies early eighties. Now that is the most breaking news.
- 6:39We're gonna stop right there because in terms of like Bravo World News,
- 6:44and we want to just do a quick sweep some broad strokes. That is
- 6:47taking over pop culture news in our country, which is the British royal family
- 6:54scandal, and that is the where is Kate Middleton thing that's taking over right
- 7:00now. So yeah, it's really taking over. There are threads, there
- 7:03are videos there, TikTok, I mean, everything's blowing up. And if
- 7:08you haven't seen it, it's essentially the bullet points are that Kate hasn't been
- 7:12seen since Christmas and she was Everyone was informed by the by Kensington Palace or
- 7:20Buckingham Palace that she was scheduled for an abdominal surgery and that the recovery would
- 7:28be ten to fourteen days. So there are things that have happened since then
- 7:32where it's led us to now in which we have not seen a picture of
- 7:36her. She's supposedly out of the hospital and recovering at home, but no
- 7:43one saw her leave the hospital and no one's seen a picture of her since.
- 7:46We've also had the deep dives are that Prince William only visited her once.
- 7:56The kids didn't go and see her. Her parents are in town taking
- 7:59care of the kids. There's a lot of speculation about Prince William having this
- 8:05affair in the past and that she's just destroyed about it and is getting mental
- 8:09help for that. I think she gives that. I don't either if in
- 8:13fact allegedly, if it's true or not allegedly, and there are now Interestingly
- 8:20enough, if some of you listen to our bonus episodes of True Detective,
- 8:24one of the biggest things when we came towards the end was that Emily had
- 8:28a conspiracy theory. Her theory for the show was that Detective Danvers and or
- 8:35Detective Navarro. It's only been like a week and I've already forgotten the names.
- 8:43We're in a coma and one of them one of them and is a
- 8:48Lopez. The creator chimed in to our theory and said she is not in
- 8:52a coma, so she debunked that. Yeah, So now what I think
- 8:58is that Emily is repurposing this theory for Kate Middleton. I think you are,
- 9:03and along with others. But I didn't really know this was going on
- 9:11until Emily brought it to my attention. And Emily is really hot on this
- 9:15case. So now the last thing that we've seen and I'll let you fill
- 9:18in the blanks, Emily, but the last thing we saw was today because
- 9:22now everyone's weighing in on this. So today the uh, who would have
- 9:28been the royal family, Buckinghamton, Buckingham, Buckingham has the official Yeah,
- 9:37the firm, yes, has put something out today and I'm going to read
- 9:41it in Fraser's voice, because I think Fraser is head of public relations over
- 9:46there. Uh Fraser from below deck uh and the statement is Kensington Palace made
- 9:52it clear in January the timelines of the princess's recovery, and we'd only be
- 9:58providing providing significant updates that guidance stunts. Middleton is doing well. So I
- 10:07mean, that's what's happening. Very sassy, A very sassy statement. Emily,
- 10:16what are your thoughts, Dianna, what are your thoughts? Start with
- 10:18Emily, that picture that was released on Christmas Day was not taken on Christmas
- 10:24Day. It was taken in advance of Christmas Day and released to that point,
- 10:31they've got to have pictures on file of recent history that we haven't seen
- 10:37that they could have put up at any point to stop this. I don't
- 10:41disagree with that because I think that people would have been able to figure it
- 10:46out because it wouldn't be dated. And they posted a picture of Pippa Middleton
- 10:52on vacation in Saint Bart's Daily Mail, like they did that either yesterday or
- 10:56I think it was yesterday or today, and people are like that pictures not
- 11:01dated, so they would be on it. They'd be like that picture is
- 11:03not dated, so that's still fishy. But I'm saying back at back at
- 11:07the beginning of all this, had they been just like slow dripping a picture
- 11:11of Kate. Yeah, slow drip like keep them coming. Just you know,
- 11:18we wouldn't we because of her aggressive rehab abilities, i e. After
- 11:26childbirth, she's out there two seconds later posing for pictures, Like there's a
- 11:33certain like standard. I think unfortunately we might have so for a photo.
- 11:39And I honestly, until forty eight hours ago, didn't give any shit.
- 11:48Now I'm an expert, I'm going to go on seeing it. Well,
- 11:50there's a lot, but yeah, so my thought is, like I do
- 11:54think that she is uh, not well, but I don't know in what
- 11:58stage she's in, like like in what physical capacity that they won't do a
- 12:03picture because the other thing, that's when Prince Philip was he looked like tales
- 12:09from the Crypt and they were taking pictures of him for proof of life.
- 12:13And that's but he don't care. He does not care. But there's so
- 12:18much you can't do with air brushing and photoshopping, like even if she looked
- 12:24like shit, even if she had a colostomy bag whatever, like you can
- 12:28release a picture at your discretion and I don't know why they haven't, and
- 12:33so and to the colostomy bag, like she could even be out and the
- 12:39paparazzi would not know she could have that concealed or whatever. So I think
- 12:43that's real. Okay, So do you think she is in a coma allegedly?
- 12:48Hmmm. They they put her in a and they induced her into a
- 12:54coma is what people are saying, Like, that's the conspiracy, but that
- 12:56she wasn't doing well after the surgery and so they put her in an induced
- 13:01coma to help her healing process. That's what the conspiracy is. Had I
- 13:07not gone so hard on the Koma theory already within this exact month, I
- 13:11want our same platform. So I'm a little nervous to say coma. But
- 13:20like between us, yeah, I mean you want them to like weekend at
- 13:30Bernie's her and you know, I just feel like that's just not going to
- 13:35happen. Oh I'm glad that they haven't done that. That's why I think
- 13:39it's a coma. Like I think that that would be the line that they
- 13:41did not see coming and were not prepared for, and now they're all just
- 13:46like, oh shit. Well. Prince William also bailed out, if not
- 13:52yesterday, the day before of a few memorial service for the for of Greece,
- 14:05The former leader of Greece, and he and this man Constantine something or
- 14:09other was his godfather, and he bailed out like forty five minutes before it
- 14:13for personal reasons. So you know, there's these all these things. But
- 14:18would we have heard about that and made it such a big deal if this
- 14:20wasn't going on, Like, you know, maybe he's got the shits,
- 14:22you know what I'm saying, Like maybe he can't get there. Maybe he
- 14:28doesn't want to answer the questions. That's why he doesn't want to answer the
- 14:31questions. Okay, So Deanna, can you weigh in about you know,
- 14:35your broadstrokes on this. Okay, sure, this is where I'm at.
- 14:39I'm thinking about two months, and I have to go back two weeks in
- 14:43my own life when I pulled my car to the side, got out,
- 14:48and went to go to the mailbox to get some mail, and I there
- 14:50was a step that was three inches that I fell off of and scraped my
- 14:56knee. And then immediately like looked around my entire community to like pray to
- 15:01God no one watched me just eat shit in my area. You know,
- 15:05now this morning, this was two weeks ago, this morning, my knee
- 15:09is still healing, you know, the scab is just coming off. It
- 15:15still looks jacked up. I was like, God, if I was needing
- 15:18to film something and these gams had to be out there, I'd be like,
- 15:22oh, they're still not ready, you know. So with that said,
- 15:28if she had here's the thing, I think from the neck up,
- 15:31she's fine. I think that when you have that kind of surgery, walking
- 15:37is hard and I and it's going to take a minute to get your stride
- 15:41back. And I think she is waiting for full healing so that she could
- 15:45just walk out comfortably and not be limping on any level or precious about her
- 15:50walk. I think she wants to just feel completely one hundred percent recovered now
- 15:56in light live in twenty twenty four. Though, I mean they could,
- 16:00she could, something could have been released. She knows what she's dealing with
- 16:04in terms of worldwide curiosity in this. Can she maybe not care? I
- 16:15yeah, I wouldn't, but I feel like she does care. I mean,
- 16:18look at coming out each time after labor. But that's almost to my
- 16:25point, is that she just wants to be able to walk and go and
- 16:29look great like she does after her pregnancies. And she's not there yet,
- 16:34and so She's like, we put out the statement. When I can not
- 16:38limp around at all, I will be marching out with my full blowout and
- 16:42my great little outfit and my cinchedass ways and I'll give the people what they
- 16:47want at that time. Sense you sent it up. Well, this is
- 16:52it's wild that it's gotten the attention of everyone here in the United States.
- 16:56I mean, I'm in, I'm one hundred percent and I'm I mean,
- 17:00everybody loves a conspiracy, and everybody is here for a royal conspiracy, you
- 17:07know, and in light of the fact that like all you know, cancer,
- 17:11King Charles has cancer and they all everything is everyone's painting the Royal British
- 17:18family as like they're falling a hot you know, like they always do.
- 17:25They always do. Yeah, what I said, Emily, Sorry, oh
- 17:30yeah, go ahead. What did you say to me? No, I
- 17:33was just said what I said to Emily and our text threat is my biggest
- 17:36concern is where the f is Amy Adams. Let that there we go again,
- 17:41think about that? Where has been No? I did think about that,
- 17:45and that's a great question. And then Emily went on a real deep
- 17:48dive trying to find Amy Adams. Think about all the award shows we've seen.
- 17:55Think about all the movies that came out she was in we Where is
- 18:00she? When's the last time you saw a picture of Amy Adams? Hello,
- 18:07I can't. I can't even answer this because I did look and it's
- 18:11been too it's been too long. So we should have a proof of life
- 18:15photo. We need a proof of life. She's in a coma. She's
- 18:18definitely she's in a comma. Emily told me that she saw on social media
- 18:23that somebody said, what was the thing you sent me? Emily? Oh
- 18:29yeah, somebody said it would be truly iconic. If Kate is filming season
- 18:33three of Traders, which I would hold, Oh my god, that's so
- 18:40good. Oh. She walks into breakfast every day. I can't believe I'm
- 18:47still here. She's totally a Trader. Totally trader. Wow, murder that
- 18:55Oka people can make moves like I feel like that Jennifer Lopez movie that she
- 18:59put out with I haven't seen, but I've just heard people talking about that
- 19:03crazy vanity project she released on Amazon, like this now documentary. Yeah,
- 19:11yeah, have you guys gotten your eyes on that at all? No,
- 19:15I'm not saying anything bad in case I have to host SNL with her smart
- 19:21smart hold on. I've already said too much, but I think like somebody
- 19:26can be like marching along and they're doing them and they're in the limelight,
- 19:32and it's you know, they're they're they're doing great, and then they make
- 19:36a weird move, you know. And I think this was Jennifer's really weird
- 19:41move where you're like, oh, okay, something very strange is happening over
- 19:45there, and this may be Kate's time to get weird with it. You
- 19:49know, that's cool. I'll never forget it. Yeah, cut to three
- 19:53months from now. Oh yeah, Kate Middleton, Oh yeah, right,
- 20:00Kate's getting weird with it. You know, she might be getting weird.
- 20:03She might be getting weird with it. I would support it me too.
- 20:07She's done everything so perfectly that that's not the way you can just exist.
- 20:15You know. She may be cutting up, cut up or cutting up.
- 20:22She pranking us. Man, the vibe over there doesn't seem to be like
- 20:30you can really cut it up too hard. I mean, even Diana when
- 20:33she was cutting it up still had to make appearances. Sure, there's also
- 20:38we've lost we've lost the main thread, so without the queen. Things are
- 20:48loose, folks. Oh yeah, yeah, she kept a tight rein literally
- 20:52and figuratively. So yeah, things are not looking looking alive over there.
- 20:59They need to get their shit to get yeah, and he will. I
- 21:02mean, it happened after King George died, right her dad, because nobody
- 21:10was ready for Elizabeth, and so I think, like it just takes some
- 21:15time. I can't imagine Charles is going to be long for the throne.
- 21:21I think they're going to try to hand that off pretty quick. Yeah.
- 21:25Well, this cancer situation is terrible. Is it's almost everything we always unfortunately
- 21:32suspected, which is like he's going to get it when he's super old and
- 21:37can actually be effective in the job, right right, right. You know
- 21:44what's interesting is that you realize, like I didn't even think about it,
- 21:48but yeah, as their job is to serve, they're out in the public
- 21:52constantly going to these events and supporting charities and photo ops and causes, and
- 22:02how frequently they are photographed, and that there's like a timeline, and so
- 22:07this is just so glaring that she's not around. I really hope that she's
- 22:12okay. I mean, honestly, like it is concerning and I think that
- 22:18sassy little press release today was not enough to get us off of their back.
- 22:23I mean they're gonna have to do a lot more than that at this
- 22:26point. Yeah, Like and they know that. That's what's so confusing.
- 22:32I think that they would know that, but like, I mean I would
- 22:36know that, and I haven't had their job for twenty years. I mean,
- 22:40what would stop them from I mean, wouldn't you think they would say,
- 22:44like, we need to have a picture of you, period dot you
- 22:48know? Or if she more power right now is like she does, I
- 22:53didn't think about that. They need her and William so she maybe it's almost
- 23:00like that time when Michael Strahan left Kelly and Michael and Kelly was like I'm
- 23:08dipping out for a few days. Yeah, yeah, a few days,
- 23:17a few days. I understand. I'm not saying the timeline is the same,
- 23:21But what I'm saying is if she may she has more power right now.
- 23:26They need her, They need her. She's the lady, she's coming
- 23:32up to be queen. If she does not want to be dealt with right
- 23:36now, she may just be like, no, I don't want to be
- 23:40filmed, and Prince don't want is going to have her back. He's going
- 23:42to be like, absolutely not. He has no choice. He also needs
- 23:48her. She's the most powerful one in that position at this particular moment.
- 23:55Hmm hmmm. I still say coma well, always, always that that's like
- 24:04a given. I'm saying, if it's not that, but which it probably
- 24:08is. Right. If it's not that, then she's just exercising her power
- 24:14of privacy. Okay, and maybe that's a good thing. I mean,
- 24:21I think that the world would like it to be something really salacious. William
- 24:26is having an affair. She's destroyed, she's in a mental health institution trying
- 24:30to get her shit together. I don't see that happened. I don't see
- 24:34that. A long time ago, she did have an affair, but that
- 24:37was like decade ago. She's not tripping out about that now. She's like,
- 24:42was it with that with the friend that's terrible? Sure? Sure,
- 24:49that little hussy that she was. I think, like it's it's not like
- 24:53that. I think it's like she knows what she's in for. This is
- 24:56a job. Her life is a job. So I don't think that.
- 25:02I mean, I think that she was still has feelings. She still has
- 25:04feelings. It's like this I know, I don't think that kids, and
- 25:07I'm here to be your queen eventually one day, Yeah, but I don't.
- 25:12I mean, I think like she's not going into any kind of mental
- 25:18institution to do. Oh, I agree with that that, I do agree
- 25:22with you there, But I mean the queen mom we watched the Crown,
- 25:26I mean, and that's totally real. I mean, she was upset,
- 25:30she didn't like it. She had to, you know, make that choice
- 25:34to compartmentalize, I mean, because it was her crown, not his,
- 25:38necessarily, And so I think Kate's gonna work overtime to win us back,
- 25:44like Diana, that's the play, that's the move, like whatever her husband's
- 25:49up to, you know. I think the move for Kate is to be
- 25:53like everybody loves Kate kind of move, which they be out there. Yeah.
- 26:00So I don't know. Prince William what a jerk, you know,
- 26:07Oh my gosh, we don't even know. Maybe he's great. If he
- 26:11had an affairs he did, I think they're okay. Though he did he
- 26:15did, I'm not even going to put the allegedly on it. I'm going
- 26:18to say like I'm sure he did. But I mean, like I also
- 26:23don't know why. I mean, I mean, he might be great now.
- 26:26It was a while ago so great. I think they are great now.
- 26:30I think they're great now. Okay, based on nothing, yeah,
- 26:34other than vibes and fumes. Yeah, vibes, vibrations across the pond.
- 26:42Well, I like talking about it and just having fun speculating. It's just
- 26:47it's a it's a real you know, it's just fun. It's like a
- 26:51fun time. So if anybody wants to chime in on that, you know,
- 26:55please feel free to do so. We'll touch down on it every once
- 27:00in a while. You know. We won't take it over, you know,
- 27:03but I think it's it's fun to do. I think it's fun.

- 30:07let's get into oh but duh. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion Part
- 30:14one. Deanna and Emily are here and we are ready to break it down.
- 30:18Ladies, how are you feeling about this part one? How am I
- 30:22feeling about Part one? Yeah? I mean it didn't come in it didn't
- 30:26come in hot, hot, but it wasn't a sleeper. No. There
- 30:30was a lot of interpersonal things getting hashed out, and I thought a lot
- 30:37of moments that were interesting to see, you know. Hearing Erica say it
- 30:44was a micro a micro aggression, she was like, it was kind of
- 30:49a major aggression. Said that under her breath towards Jered, who's sort of
- 30:52one of her allies, and I was like, oh, okay, this
- 30:56is interesting we're seeing. I thought, Sutton go, she's a great listener,
- 31:00and that's something I don't know if I really got before, But she
- 31:07rea a lot of these gals, especially in Beverly Hills are very aware of
- 31:10how they look. They're very while they're sitting there, they're sort of viewing
- 31:15themselves from the outside the whole time, and Sutton does not do that.
- 31:18She's very engaged. She listens really hard. Her face is kind of like
- 31:23relaxed in a way that it shouldn't be because she's so you know, genuinely
- 31:27taking it all in. So I just for everyone to name them she is.
- 31:33She's got to be so, you know, I just thought it was
- 31:36like a nuanced episode, even if it wasn't the most electric And yeah,
- 31:42Andy saying you know, Hayhood really got me. It was a great way
- 31:48to start. So funny. The diret look was as hard to handle as
- 31:56we expected and anticipated it would be. And yes, oh boy, you
- 32:00guys, Yeah, like, can we just settle into that look for a
- 32:04second before we even do anything else? Yeah, I mean that's kind of
- 32:07the point of it too, is that we're all going to be talking about
- 32:12it. She knew it was going to be the most interesting thing she did
- 32:16all season? Is that look? Well, when Andy was like, what's
- 32:22this look that she didn't have a more specific answer, is what kind of
- 32:27knocked me to my down on the ground because I thought it was going to
- 32:31be like Eastern meets Western meets girl with a curl, girl with a pearl
- 32:39you know, I don't know drape breeze, Like I thought she was going
- 32:43to have more of an explanation and a backstory because I feel like, if
- 32:45you're gonna come hard with that look, you better have it. Better have
- 32:49its own fucking life, you know. Yeah, it's like the what is
- 32:52the story? Like that's what they ask now in the red carpet. So
- 32:57clearly whoever designed the look had a story that wasn't fashion Comma fashion, Comma
- 33:04fashion. Exclamation point right. It's like Nina Garcia is sitting here going,
- 33:08what's the story? What? What's the accessorizing? Where are you going?
- 33:14Where is she coming from? Where what is she thinking? You know?
- 33:16None of that and it was so distracting. Do you guys think it was
- 33:22similar to Melissa's hood? Now? I'm like in a hood area where Melissa
- 33:27came out like she was about to, you know, go boxing. I
- 33:31wonder if there was any boxing element to that hood. I don't know.
- 33:37Was that Melissa was subtle? Though? Was Melissa's on a reunion or was
- 33:42it for a show singing on display? No, well, I don't know
- 33:46if I don't remember her performance, but she did it in the reunion for
- 33:50sure. So it was more like helped me, Obi one, You're my
- 33:52only hope, helped me Obi one. It was more of a like a
- 33:57loose hood, yeah, and that I can lead stand behind that because it's
- 34:00just kind of flopping down and just kind of, yeah, that's better than
- 34:06what we have here. That the side view was really tough, tough,
- 34:10and it kept like the hood was also slipping back as the episode went,
- 34:16so it just it started a little more forward and then it just kind of
- 34:22a little bit kind of like Teresa's forehead over the years. Yeah, and
- 34:27it just was like hugging her head in a strange way, you know,
- 34:31truly, and it felt like maybe just take the hood down. You know.
- 34:38At some point I think she was dressed as PTSD, like that would
- 34:44be the story then that would I would have been like, oh, okay,
- 34:50okay, well yeah then that would make way more sense. Sorry,
- 34:53Emily, you were going to say something. Well, when they showed the
- 34:58behind the scenes there of how much work it was to put the hood on,
- 35:01I was like, Oh my gosh, like this is this is like
- 35:06every this is bomb after bomb of her looks like not one thing made sense
- 35:12to me this season. She was definitely saying I wish I hope to god
- 35:16somebody asked her that question in the next few episodes of like, what was
- 35:22going on with the you know, funeral attire the entire season? Well,
- 35:28because that, I mean, I think I didn't. It was very clear
- 35:32to me from the jump that she was like going down to a strip down
- 35:37to read because she's going through this trauma from the burglary. That's how I
- 35:42saw it. I seemed as she does not have money to do the fashion.
- 35:45She's done too. Okay, well conveniently maybe that maybe it's both,
- 35:52Maybe it's both yea interesting, well, and he can clear this up when
- 35:58he gets most going to be joining us? Are you kidding me? Right
- 36:02now? Kidding me? That at the beginning was so good? I love
- 36:10the prack. Yeah, I watched it on Peacock and it's not uh,
- 36:15it's not bleeped out. So she's like, are you fucking kidding Kyle?
- 36:23She's done these kind of too tight, intense y before, right, Yeah,
- 36:34that's her thing. What was your favorite look. M hmm, I
- 36:39kind of like crystals, Crystal. Yeah, Crystal, I kind of like
- 36:45crystals. Yeah, Crystal look just head to toe. Yeah, And I
- 36:49loved her makeup and actually Erica was Erica was amazing. It was cool to
- 36:57me, Like her hair looked cool, her face was gorgeous. Her that
- 37:00dress was just something. It was reunion worthy of a look, a full
- 37:07vibe, and she pulled off the sequence Erica did, which when Garcell came
- 37:14out first, I was like, man, can they all get the note
- 37:16you can't wear a high like a crew neck sequence because it always reflects up
- 37:22in a weird way and it's your meg in that weird way. Like vander
- 37:25Pump always used to tell them that they can't do that. But Erica did
- 37:31it. It was not reflecting up and I can't figure out because shaffering and
- 37:37even higher better gaffer lighting. They fixed it. They fixed the lighting on
- 37:42that, you know, I mean, lighting has everything to do it,
- 37:45everything to do with it. Yeah, And to Crystal's dress, she had
- 37:50the V, the deep V, right where that sequence would reflect up,
- 37:54so she wasn't gonna have to deal with that. But yeah, I'm gonna
- 38:00agree with you guys, Crystal, ye, second for me was Kyle,
- 38:02but but you know, oh Kyle was second for you. Yeah, not
- 38:07the hair. You know, you guys were saying, you know, all
- 38:09of the different cities are all the cities are different. And when it comes
- 38:14to like the way that they play obviously, and when you get into a
- 38:16reunion, typically Beverly Hills is pretty good, probably the best out of all
- 38:22of them, where they don't overtalk each other, They really do listen,
- 38:27They really do let for the most part, let people finish their thought and
- 38:30then they carry on. And you know what stuck out like a sore thumb
- 38:35is when Crystal kept going after Anna Marie. And I kind of loved how
- 38:38Anna Marie was like, I'm not like she could not get a word in
- 38:43edgewise, and Crystal just kept coming at her so hot, and I'm just
- 38:46like, what are you doing, Calm down, have a conversation, Like
- 38:51you're not even letting this fight breathe to where you there'll be any There's no
- 38:54endurance for this. You can't keep going like this. And it really took
- 38:59the wind out of Anna Marie's sales. And I did find it very funny.
- 39:01I thought Anna Marie to me, kind of was the winner here because
- 39:07not only was she not willing to to fight like Crystal was, she was
- 39:13just like, can I just please just please say? And then I love
- 39:19that she apologized. I love that she apologized to Crystal no to the sentence
- 39:25to Sutton. Yeah, it seemed very genuine and I liked that. Yeah,
- 39:30I could she was disagree with you more. I think I'm with you,
- 39:36Emily. I think I'm with you on this one. Okay, go
- 39:37ahead, because she, like I thought, it was like a tactic,
- 39:44almost borrowing a page from a name them from Sutton, where Amory was just
- 39:49going to keep saying the same thing over and over. But it worked,
- 39:52I guess because you felt for Anna Marie, whereas I was like, Anna
- 39:58Marie's cutting her. Crystal's making the point that was asked, and then Anna
- 40:02Marie keeps cutting her off, you know, every time Crystal tries to reinforce
- 40:09her point. I didn't see it as Crystal kept interrupting. I thought they
- 40:13were having a conversation. And then every time Crystal said something, Anna Marie
- 40:16was like, I mean, am I ever going to get a chance?
- 40:20Am I ever going to get a chance? Like instead of like listening for
- 40:22a second and then saying like it hadn't escalated to me to the point where
- 40:27Annie Marie needed to say I can't even get a word in. She right
- 40:30out of the gate was like, I can't even get a word in.
- 40:34It's like, well, it's a conversation. Is that how you felt,
- 40:37Deanna? I I'm I do. I kind of maybe split the difference in
- 40:44terms of that moment with the two of them, But I did feel like
- 40:50when Annie Marie was trying to explain why she's I one hundred percent believe Crystal
- 40:58that she tries to pretend she was a doctor and then you know, got
- 41:04hot. Ultimately, yes, I agree, her trying to get at the
- 41:07explanation of these two feuding entities still never gave me the reason why she would
- 41:15say I'm an anesthesiologist, Right, did you ever get I mean, I
- 41:22don't think we ever got to that. So, yeah, we never even
- 41:24she never even spoke to that. She never landed the plane on that in
- 41:29terms of the why so I think she got busted, which is very embarrassing.
- 41:34Yeah, and yeah, you know, so maybe she used it as
- 41:37a tactic to get out of that. Yeah, Yeah, that's a that's
- 41:43a good point. Yeah, all right, Well it does make sense that
- 41:47when you hear the story when Christal said that she when she first met her,
- 41:52that she said she was an anesthesiologist and that and her sister is so
- 41:58she knew what a nurse anesthetist was, but most people don't know what that
- 42:01is, so people so it sounds like she just says an anesthesiologist so that
- 42:07people understand what it is, so she can't be caught in her profession,
- 42:13you know, on television saying yes, I did say that because people often
- 42:17get them confused. But she did acknowledge that people often get them confused,
- 42:22but she didn't admit to lying, which is like not good. We're about
- 42:27or about uh throwing Crystal under the bus to Sutton, about Crystal talking about
- 42:31Sutton's eating disorder, which they played that back in real time, that Cristal
- 42:36never said that. Yeah, and you'd think, knowing everything that Crystal has
- 42:42said, that Anna Marie would own that or apologize for that and still didn't.
- 42:50So yeah, we just keep seeing moments of Annie Marie thinking that the
- 42:55audience didn't catch something, and the cameras catch everything. Yeah, and so
- 43:00then I just have a hard time landing on her in terms of like,
- 43:07oh, her take is that's the thing. Her take is her take.
- 43:12It's not what happened, but it's her take on it. Yeah. I
- 43:15mean she came after ourselves in the same way too, like she like in
- 43:19a name them kind of way, and I just was like, Wow,
- 43:22you're so defensive right now. I don't like it's not I didn't think it
- 43:27was a good way to play it. But I did feel for her in
- 43:31that she has been raked over the calls by all of us and we didn't
- 43:37like her. Now I warmed up to her truth be told on our trip,
- 43:46but I've already had her off the show though, so it was tough.
- 43:50And also, oh yeah, carry on. No, there were just
- 43:53several cute moments in that like where I'm like, I'm warming up to her,
- 43:59you know, when she got smacked in the face with the ashes,
- 44:01her take made me laugh. She was like she was trying to hold back
- 44:06laughter. She was ind a couple of cute moments where I'm like, she
- 44:07had a rough she came out the gate so incorrectly, but I hate it
- 44:15makes me sick to my stomach when someone's been ganged up on so hard that
- 44:21they are damaged, and I felt that from her. You know, I
- 44:25think she was kind of damaged from doing this season. I don't know if
- 44:30you guys feel the same way. Well, I also think that you know,
- 44:31her saying that Marcellas is her best friend, and this is that the
- 44:36reunion and at this point, all of this stuff is out there about her
- 44:38husband, So the fact that you know she's obviously standing by him, no
- 44:44feathers ruffled there all as well in her family. But are we even going
- 44:50to address that at some point in these reunions that I don't know if this
- 44:53was just in the edit, but there was a cut to Erico when Anna
- 44:58Marie said that and eric I was like, oh, but I didn't know
- 45:01if that was the editors making that choice or you're in minden. Oh wow,
- 45:06interesting. Interesting, Well, let's talk about how Kyle. Let's talk
- 45:12about well, Durt and Erica they're talking before the actual reunion, so they're
- 45:22back there. And remember when we kept seeing, oh, Erica wants Kyle
- 45:28to be eviscerated, it was just so blown out of proportion. So it's
- 45:32not it that was that was it? Because she said it on Watch What
- 45:37Happens Live, like I was a vicerated last year, and I hope everybody
- 45:42gets the same treatment that I got. So and that was something that Kyle
- 45:46spoke to later by saying, like, I didn't take that totally personally,
- 45:51like I was probably heard at first, but then I realized it was more
- 45:53about her saying like I had it hard last year, so like you know,
- 46:00brought out spread that out this year. But yeah, from the deret
- 46:05and Erica clip with Derete saying that she's upset that Kyle is in the pressing
- 46:10that she exaggerated their friendship and that she hasn't heard from Kyle in months,
- 46:16and that she texted her yesterday trying to silence her, and she was like
- 46:20it was so manipulative, and then Erica's like, yeah, it's a novel.
- 46:23I would feel manipulated. So here they are coming poised to come into
- 46:29this reunion, you know, kind of looking like they want to go after
- 46:34Kyle, but it doesn't really come down that way, and it really the
- 46:37issue becomes more about Dereit and Kyle, and that's pretty much it. Yeah,
- 46:44that whole thing, this that teaser, because it was out for the
- 46:46week. I was just like, this is so nothing. There is nothing.
- 46:50Yeah, it was a last hail Mary pass at being relevant, and
- 46:54I couldn't believe it even made the edit. Let alone made the show.
- 47:00Let alone became the teaser for the reunion, Like right, yeah, it
- 47:04just was so innocuous. And then I was like, well, what is
- 47:10Erica's game here? Because it is nothing. Yet she takes that time to
- 47:15be like, oh, it's so fucked up. Yes, it's not.
- 47:20What are you talking about? Like the gist if it is Kyle saying to
- 47:23duit, let's not talk about our stuff at the reunion, let's talk about
- 47:28it off camera. Do you think it was manipulative? But do you think
- 47:31it was manipulative? Yeah, Okay, I'm a little on the fence about
- 47:36this, to be honest with you. Because she texted her the night before
- 47:39the reunion, I mean exactly, that's kind of that's very housewifey to me.
- 47:45She was playing on the strength of their relations like she knew that Dud's
- 47:51probably dying, that Kyle hasn't reached out to her. She knows she's Dud's
- 47:54lifeline to the show, and Kyle chosen not to speak with her for months
- 48:01and then the night before. Yeah, it's manipulative, whether it's the end
- 48:07of the world or not. Yeah, no, But is it a manipulation
- 48:13to soften the blow and try to get to Read on a certain path for
- 48:17the reunion. I do think so, I agree, But I guess I
- 48:22just didn't understand the explosiveness. Like I write, Yeah, the leak texts
- 48:29that we have seen in the past are like legit, Like whoa, I
- 48:32mean, this was nothing. I mean it was like yeah, Like I
- 48:37had to watch it a couple times to even kind of figure out what was
- 48:42so upsetting about it, because I really was like, did I miss something?
- 48:45Is there something blurred out? I was reading it on the podcast,
- 48:49and I was like, I must have missed These must not be in the
- 48:52right order, because it's it's just that wasn't. Yes, I was like,
- 48:57this is really not that big of a deal. But obviously, Dorry.
- 49:00It feels like talking about their issues is going to bring up I don't
- 49:07know, make it harder for her. I don't know. It just seems
- 49:09like was Kyle saying, just don't make it harder for me. I'm going
- 49:14through a hard enough time. Is that essentially what she was saying. Yes,
- 49:17yeah, I think she was trying to silence her. And it's a
- 49:24nuanced manipulation and it's a layered, well executed manipulation. It's not you know,
- 49:32bitch, don't talk, you know what I mean. So it's you're
- 49:37not going to feel it hit in the same way as like but yeah,
- 49:45I don't know, well Derey will take it to an eleven, you know,
- 49:50like of course. But I just so surprised that the producers are like,
- 49:53yeah, this is your well, this is hot text. I mean,
- 49:57they made it seem like it was you know Lisa, yeah, Barlow
- 50:00in the bathroom calling Marinath like that's biggest horror in New York City. Like
- 50:07it just was so not that big of a deal. But again, like
- 50:09with Beverly Hills, everything is a little more subtle. Yeah. So then
- 50:17they talk about it on the couch and Kyle saying like I said, I
- 50:22said what I said, you know about how she exaggerated Dury was exaggerating their
- 50:28friendship. She said that, yeah, that's that's rough, that is auchy.
- 50:34It's embarrassing. But she had she's she explained it to me perfectly,
- 50:38like I still love you but let's be real. Our friendship happens on camera,
- 50:45and that's a lot not just me, that's you too, Like yeah,
- 50:49she's her saying like you you know, I said that because of your
- 50:52response to what you have been saying, which is like how they don't see
- 50:57each other, they didn't go on vacations and more took her place and and
- 51:02she was like, I get on I work out and like my real friends
- 51:07work out with me. And then Dar's reaction was like I said I want
- 51:12to work out and she's like she's like yeah, and what happened to you?
- 51:15You almost like fucking died you got lost in the wood. I mean,
- 51:20it just was so funny because then I just pictured to read yes,
- 51:23I help help And then Kyle's like you sat down, and he's like,
- 51:29what happened. She's like, she's like she dry, she wanted to sit
- 51:35down a cement because she doesn't work out. She was at a brath.
- 51:38She's like, your idea for a brisk walk is ten miles and Cause's like
- 51:45it was a flatlope. I mean, this conversation killed me, killed me
- 51:51so good. She died, it was so good, and it's like I
- 51:54was like, oh, Kyle's friend zund awful, like you know what I
- 51:58mean, a freaking thirty mile hike with them anytime? Like there, it
- 52:02feels like they're all about cows and yeah, right right planking like at all?
- 52:08Oh, I mean it's true. This is Kyle's prioritizing her health.
- 52:17She is like working out all the time. So if you want to get
- 52:21into her universe that you're gonna have to show up at four thirty in the
- 52:23morning, you know, and drink a shake and fucking look alive. And
- 52:29she's and Kyle's meeting with her. I mean, she's like, I am
- 52:35at a point where I right now in my life, I do not want
- 52:38to compromise, So you better get down and plank with me, because I'm
- 52:45not going to pretend to enjoy going out with UNPK anymore. Yeah on my
- 52:50terms now right now. Yeah, And I mean, I think it's fair
- 52:54to say, you know, we how many times have we ever had lunch
- 52:58without filming? And I felt to eat shaken in her hood the first second
- 53:02there, She's like, I I well, also when Kyle is like,
- 53:09if you were my real friend, you would have asked me about my marriage
- 53:13off camera. You waited till the cameras were rolling. See that's tough because
- 53:20when she did ask her, I thought, good, good, good,
- 53:24you know, I thought, good, let's get down to it, because
- 53:27if anyone's going to ask Kyle about her marriage, it's going to have to
- 53:30be Deret, the closest one to her, and someone has to ask fucking
- 53:34Kyle about her marriage. So Kyle, why couldn't it have been de I
- 53:37mean that's kind of what pusis mer off about Kyle, Like I think.
- 53:42But to Kyle's point is I am going through the hardest time in my life.
- 53:45Ask me off camera and then ask me on camera. I mean yes,
- 53:51yes, in a perfect world, yes, But if it was like
- 53:54my close friend, I mean the legit friend, yeah, you would have
- 54:00course do that. There wouldn't be any doubt about it. Yeah. The
- 54:02organic moment of having Kyle be uncomfortable and react on camera knowing that she's going
- 54:08through this crisis would be not important to me if I was her actual friend.
- 54:14Now as an audience, yeah, I appreciated to read asking the question.
- 54:17But to Kyle's point, like a real friend would have asked me and
- 54:23even helped me craft how I'm going to handle this on camera, because nobody
- 54:28would know better than dur read you know, better than a lot of people
- 54:31that Kyle knows how to handle this on this show. And she could have
- 54:36been a legend friend to Kyle. But like, I get why Kyle's like,
- 54:39hey, but if Kyle's correct about their friendship, they don't have that
- 54:46kind of friendship, So why would Kyle expect if they're not getting a lunch
- 54:51together their friendship exists on the show. And I also didn't think that Kyle
- 54:58seemed pretty available to have those conversations with Dewy to an extent, like I
- 55:04didn't think she was shutting her down or not on the show on the show,
- 55:07and also Derree was not like I know exactly what's happening. It seemed
- 55:13like a genuine discovery, like is everything okay? Like checking in more than
- 55:19an accusation. And at least how I read it, I thought that Derrey
- 55:22asking the question in the car that first time was like, you know about
- 55:27your marriage, like everybody knows about it. It's out there, so we
- 55:30kind of have to do the dirty work where we have to put on our
- 55:32big girl pants and do the show right now. And even though they have
- 55:38been a bit strange. For sure. They still are doing the show and
- 55:43Duri's gonna have to ask the question. It does piss me off that Kyle
- 55:47is that way like it because Kyle knows more than anyone about these reality shows
- 55:52that you have to you have to show up and you kind of have to
- 55:57ask these questions. And I felt like Derrey was gentle enough with her question
- 56:00that it didn't it was an accusatory towards Kyle. It allowed Kyle to answer
- 56:06the way she did, and I thought Kyle handled it well. So it
- 56:08is weird to me that Kyle is holding that against her well, but what
- 56:14is it weird is that she's not checking in with her off camera though.
- 56:17That's very weird. That's weird now, that is weird, so to both
- 56:22of them, Yes, yes, yeah, so I think like it's it's
- 56:27I kind of I kind of feel like I understand both of them. But
- 56:32for on camera purposes, I don't think Kyle should be holding on camera stuff
- 56:37against Dory at this point. She should be holding her accountable for off camera
- 56:40not checking in on her. Well. Maybe Kyle sees herself as the queen
- 56:45though of this show. She does, she does think, well she is
- 56:52she and she is, but she genuinely does not think the same roles apply.
- 56:59That's just the true. And so she's Kathy to all these girls.
- 57:04Even when Dury said, you you know, if you don't say what you
- 57:07want to hear, you cut people off and all that, you know,
- 57:09in terms of cut people out of your life. Yeah, I was like,
- 57:13oh, so there's that. That's what she got from Kathy or her
- 57:15mom to these women. I know your nature. Durite said, you're a
- 57:21punisher, you'll shut me out. That was an explosive statement in my opinion,
- 57:27Yes, way more explosive than any of those bullshit texts that everyone had.
- 57:30That that's what they should have been focusing on because that statement cut deep,
- 57:37that cut deep. It rang very true. I was like, oh,
- 57:42that sounds right. It's weird because yeah, go ahead, Emily,
- 57:46if this is just also Kyle going through this thing, so it's like she's
- 57:52cutting out friendships or relationships because and looking for reasons to do it, like
- 58:00on camera. So now we can't be friends. I E. That makes
- 58:02sense. That makes sense to me because in the past Kyle always is able
- 58:09to bounce back. She's the first one who's like ready to move forward.
- 58:13That's what I was just gonna say, right before you said that. I
- 58:15was going to say, it's so weird to me because Kyle has had a
- 58:19tendency in the past to be able to keep it moving and be like,
- 58:23let's just be honest, let's move on, just be honest, let's move
- 58:27on. Because she knows so this is like a whole new Kyle and so
- 58:31for Durie to say you're a punisher makes me think that she's seen that in
- 58:37the past in a way, in ways that we haven't seen on camera,
- 58:40but this is definitely new. And for you to say she's the Kathy of
- 58:45that group is wild to me. And you know, maybe with age and
- 58:49with her her new life and not in deciding not to put up with people's
- 58:54bullshit and do what she wants to do, she's not going to answer to
- 58:58anybody, and she's leaning into her Kathy era, you know, yeah,
- 59:01her big Kat era. I don't know, I don't know, uh,
- 59:09but to Dree saying that too, Durit knows Kyle well enough that she was
- 59:16almost verbatim quoting Kyle and like, you know, like if there's uh something
- 59:23about like a parent that you're sensitive to that you try to not emulate.
- 59:29Like I thought, oh Dey got to Kyle. She's using Kyle's ideas of
- 59:34Kathy against Kyle like I did think Duriy kind of knew what she was doing.
- 59:39And to Andy's point, both things can be true because Kyle is leaning
- 59:45into her Kathy era and it is her full to durit and she can pick
- 59:50up the pattern so great. Kyle also is gonna, you know, darit
- 59:58knows that if Kyle doesn't want her on the show, or if Kyle you
- 1:00:04know, positions her in a certain way to the audience, it's a rap
- 1:00:09She's been hanging on for a really long time to read, do you you
- 1:00:16know? So this is also like a boss in some ways. It's with
- 1:00:23Kyle. She's in the fight for her life, which is the hood at
- 1:00:28the end of the day, like she is. I'm also like, when
- 1:00:32you have every person of color coming for you and saying you're nothing but a
- 1:00:37microaggressor, is a hood the right thing to wear? I don't know,
- 1:00:40I'm just that just hit me, right, I mean, but I could
- 1:00:45maybe not agree with you more, I mean maybe not Yeah, because it
- 1:00:52was just like, yeah, I just at every turn, Dear keeps being
- 1:00:58like I'm so educated. She's like, oh, thank you for the lesson.
- 1:01:04Well for her to straight up set I think I'm the only one with
- 1:01:07a college degree. I mean, she's still let me put me out,
- 1:01:13put me down. I died when she said that, Like, but what
- 1:01:16is she thinking with that? And then she's like, oh, Samary,
- 1:01:20oh right, you right next to me. You know, I just I
- 1:01:22don't know, but our girl is, well, you stopped learning when you
- 1:01:28were like twenty one? Is that, you know, when whenever you were
- 1:01:30out of college? And that's it. I'm done now now. Also has
- 1:01:35a huge age gap between her and PK. So this, I like that
- 1:01:39also is like you literally I probably have the same I don't know, I
- 1:01:45don't know what their age gap is exactly, but I feel like Crystal and
- 1:01:49Rob feel similar to me, like Dream and PK in terms of age similar.
- 1:01:53Yeah, yeah, that really frustrated me. It was weird. Equally
- 1:01:59frustrating is not knowing that Crystal has this coconut water company that does Gangbusters and
- 1:02:06it's everywhere, and I'm like, how I've watched her on this show every
- 1:02:12single episode. I had no idea. Oh, she's talked about the coconut
- 1:02:15water. Not enough well, no, not enough to what the one hundred
- 1:02:21million dollars? She said, it's one hundred million dollars. I was like,
- 1:02:23because it's in Vonn's costco Rouse, in every major grocery store target,
- 1:02:29Like I think it's a target, but i mean I've seen it everywhere.
- 1:02:31Yeah, and I'm just like, holy shit, like I should know that
- 1:02:36of all people, I should know how i'ves product. Well, I'm I'm
- 1:02:40very upset with you, Emily, but I mean I will say that the
- 1:02:45difference between this being a Housewives product is because it existed before she even ran
- 1:02:51the show, So we have to take that into account. You know,
- 1:02:53it's not a Bethany situation where she was in, you know, a grocery
- 1:02:58store selling coconut water samples. Do you know what I'm saying? Right,
- 1:03:00she pulled. She told us about it, not on the show, but
- 1:03:05when Jerid on the show made that comment about the childbride is when the first
- 1:03:09time she posted about her coconut water on social media, and she said,
- 1:03:15I haven't been I've been toying with whether or not to share this information because
- 1:03:22it's like special to me, and it's not something I necessarily wanted to include
- 1:03:29in the show, but this was a good time. I'm completely paraphrasing,
- 1:03:32but to do it, it's something my brother and I have been working on
- 1:03:36for a long time and we're so proud of our company and that kind of
- 1:03:38thing or the company. I don't know how she phrased it, but she
- 1:03:43she didn't talk about it. I think she to your point, like specifically.
- 1:03:47And then when her you know, when she was called out for that
- 1:03:53horrible comment, she was like, Okay, I need to regulate on these
- 1:03:58hosts, but the one hundred million dollar company was a each shut when I've
- 1:04:02never seen someone get like so handled in a moment like you know, it
- 1:04:14was just what made that you didn't shift? Yeah, said, yeah,
- 1:04:19that was hoodwind, that hood shift. He was hed win my Crystal's coconut
- 1:04:26water. Yeah. Well, I'm glad that she mentioned it because I I
- 1:04:31don't know, maybe she is really bit. I don't know what she does
- 1:04:34with it, but I just couldn't believe that there is a like total legit
- 1:04:40Housewives product out there that I didn't even know about. So and you would
- 1:04:45think that a little bit of it would go a long way in terms of
- 1:04:49her tagline or you know, just something along those lines. I don't understand
- 1:04:57why you wouldn't bring it in more. I don't under understand either. That's
- 1:05:00why my theory is that, yeah, I don't know. I just I
- 1:05:03have to, Like, I think she doesn't need it. And that's like
- 1:05:08kind of the cool thing about Crystal. That's something I was so happy she
- 1:05:13needs something because she doesn't have enough on the show. So that's why it
- 1:05:16doesn't need the show, do you know what I mean? Like, she
- 1:05:19doesn't we need her on the show to have to bring more to the show
- 1:05:25other than her brother's old relationship. You know, we need it, we
- 1:05:30need it for her, right, But I don't think overall she needs any
- 1:05:34of this, whereas a lot of people really need the show. Okay,
- 1:05:39And so do you know what I mean? And I think that I was
- 1:05:43so upset when we first met her because I'm like, this woman, the
- 1:05:47way she executes her parties, her attention to detail, I'm like, she
- 1:05:53should be running a company. I just felt like her mind is meant to
- 1:05:57have a massive brand, an organization and running some shit. Like I don't
- 1:06:01like her not working. That's where my head was when I first met her.
- 1:06:06So I'm happy that she whether it's just an investment listen or not.
- 1:06:13I think her in her brother's hands were in the beginning of the company.
- 1:06:16Okay, you know, at least it seems that way. Yeah, but
- 1:06:20when I looked it up, there are three owners and it's her and her
- 1:06:25brother and a third person. And I can't imagine that she's not involved in
- 1:06:30a big way. But I don't know. I mean now, with knowing
- 1:06:38that, it's like so interesting the choices that she's making on camera. Maybe
- 1:06:44that is why she's so guarded. But I'm also like, then, be
- 1:06:47vander pomp, like be like show us the coconut water, show us.
- 1:06:51I want to see this business operating. Yeah, you could be like double
- 1:06:59what's that she wanted to move the dumpling business on this show. That's the
- 1:07:03business she wants to pop off from this show. I don't know. I
- 1:07:10also thought that would be caught her out a lot. To remember when she
- 1:07:14had her family, the two gals, and they were cousins and they were
- 1:07:16doing dumpling nights. Yeah, I love that night. That's what she wants
- 1:07:23to pop off from. This show. So I think the coconut water was
- 1:07:26like, let's not mix it. Oh, but I don't know if the
- 1:07:30production has wanted to focus on the dumplings. Now this is me, I
- 1:07:34guess, this is my guest. Plus I have this information from somewhere and
- 1:07:41I don't know where. Okay, I just have it. So yeah,
- 1:07:47so it's like, Okay, this would make way more sense that she's not.
- 1:07:51I mean, first of all, she doesn't need to showcase her brand
- 1:07:54because it's obviously doing well. But it would make for an more interesting story
- 1:07:59if she did. And when she met with her brother, they didn't talk
- 1:08:02about this sad sec makes be honest her. Instead they would talk about their
- 1:08:09fucking multi million dollar business. So that would have been way more compelling now
- 1:08:15for her choice not to bring it up. If in fact, she's poised
- 1:08:18to do a dumpling drop at some point, I would be thrilled, as
- 1:08:21I'll get out and I would say bring her back just so we can get
- 1:08:24more dumplings, because I love dumplings. Dumplings, So and if we get
- 1:08:30a housewife dumpling product out of this, let's do this, you know.
- 1:08:35Yeah, I This reunion made me definitely turn my. I've said it all
- 1:08:41along. We always say like who is Crystal? But like and I always
- 1:08:45say that she's boring because she's exactly like I would be if I were on
- 1:08:49the show. I would be very guarded and not want to be like overexposed
- 1:08:54and too vulnerable. But this reunion, I think she got extra fiery and
- 1:09:00I liked it. Like she defended herself very well in a very chill way,
- 1:09:06so I to chill it all, okay, all right, well,
- 1:09:10but it was nice, alive, like she was in the game, you
- 1:09:13know. Yeah, it wasn't like whoa where is this coming from? She
- 1:09:17said it like she was like, don't worry, Animory, You're not I
- 1:09:20don't like basically like I don't even think about you, so don't worry.
- 1:09:26There's no yah. She's like, I don't want to be a part of
- 1:09:30this narrative. She's like, you're not. You're not a part of it,
- 1:09:32so don't worry. That's what I'm talking about. Like it was calculated,
- 1:09:38like you know, you're making me maybe rethink it. Okay, So
- 1:09:43towards the end we kind of left off with it. What oh my thing
- 1:09:46lashed for a second, go ahead, Sorry, Well, Towards the end,
- 1:09:51we have this uh Duraid and Kyle and there we're talking about the reunion
- 1:09:59last year and about Kathy and so, and Deuri's like, yeah, I
- 1:10:01really want to get to the bottom of this. I really let me shift
- 1:10:05my hood. And so she says, and I really do believe Durit when
- 1:10:10she says, there's nothing I've ever wanted more than for you and Kathy to
- 1:10:13be okay. I had an independent relationship with Kathy and I didn't want to
- 1:10:16get in the middle. I believe all of that. Then Kyle says,
- 1:10:20but you didn't know her that well, and when I told you things,
- 1:10:24you seem to be very disappointed in Kathy's behavior, and that makes sense too.
- 1:10:29And then Durite's saying, well, yeah, but stories about the past
- 1:10:32like not right now that that checks out. And then Kyle's like, no,
- 1:10:38it was about Aspen too, and I'm like, oh, okay.
- 1:10:41So she's like, so to me, you wanted to be on the side
- 1:10:43of whatever the audience thinks, and I've noticed that a number of times,
- 1:10:46and that threw me for a loop. And Kyle accusing her of caring more
- 1:10:50about the audience than she does about Kyle, what do you think about that?
- 1:10:59I think I go back to my point. I think she's looking for
- 1:11:01ways to cut dur Eat out because I didn't fault Durate for not saying something
- 1:11:06at Bravo Khon enough people had said something like it collectively, like and it
- 1:11:12was a moment that was very weird when that guy asked the question, like
- 1:11:15they all dealt with it. I didn't think anything of derate not doing it.
- 1:11:19And now Kyle's looking for these moments where you should have done X,
- 1:11:25like you should have come over and hugged me at the reunion, you should
- 1:11:27have done this, you should have done that, and then like cutting people
- 1:11:30out. I just think she wants to cut the fat, just cut out
- 1:11:36anything that's not like muscle. Literally. Yeah, well her being like you
- 1:11:45know that this would cause more attention about the Morgan thing, which was interesting
- 1:11:50that was we filed. Yeah, that's where Kyle doesn't take any accountability,
- 1:11:59because how can you navigate a sister relationship on camera when the friend when you
- 1:12:08know your friends with Kyle, she's her sister's coming. Her sister's going to
- 1:12:15know the exact moments where you're supposed to be you know, supporting her or
- 1:12:20like is she I'm sorry, is Kathy a castmate or is she an enemy?
- 1:12:26Or is she a sister? Or is she afraid? You know,
- 1:12:29like how is anyone supposed to know the exact journey at any given times?
- 1:12:36Why stay out of it? But yeah, I agree, it's still except
- 1:12:40that it's a reality show, you know, and they're castmates, right and
- 1:12:46yeah, you know, And then I was surprised. I didn't realize Juweet
- 1:12:53and Kathy were considered friends, did you guys? Yes, yeah, because
- 1:12:58there was that time when you know, Dey was going to Kathy's parties,
- 1:13:03you know, I mean they do have their own relationship, I mean one
- 1:13:09dimensional, but but yes, they kind of yeah, like that I never
- 1:13:15I don't remember ever like a dreat Kathy moment that on like not on camera,
- 1:13:23yeah, but off camera. See will show up for Kathy because Kathy
- 1:13:27doesn't work out. So thank god you're gonna have potato with caviar. Yeah,
- 1:13:33they're more compatible. I mean they should just be friends. Forget about
- 1:13:36Kyle and Durit anymore. Yeah, that I am with you. I did
- 1:13:43align with Jerte at this ending because Kyle had Morgan all over this goddamn show
- 1:13:51to act like Jerret's one opinion is going to sway anything. It's like that
- 1:13:58does She's so kind tradictory with that stuff with her sister and with Morgan.
- 1:14:02It's like, you're bringing these people on the show. You are tattoos.
- 1:14:09Giggle, giggle, film film when she's singing everything, yeah, giggle.
- 1:14:15And if it was anybody besides Kyle, let's say Sutton was having this,
- 1:14:18Kyle would be all over it. She would be doing joke yes, bits,
- 1:14:24bits galore. Yeah, it's yeah, all kinds of bits. Yeah,
- 1:14:29and it's gonna be interesting next week because uh we see, isn't this
- 1:14:33in the trailer for next week where Sutton's like, and if you did decide
- 1:14:38to go full Lesbo, we would support you. She said it. I
- 1:14:42thought she said it was in this episode. Yeah, and that was like,
- 1:14:45yes, she said we would all. She made it sound like probably
- 1:14:53will likely all have your back, Like it wasn't like it was Yeah,
- 1:14:59it was so older. Wait, lady, you know she thought she was
- 1:15:04like, here, I come with my flag. I have a flag,
- 1:15:08I'm waving it. You know you actually told us that there's a chance that
- 1:15:14you may not support it. This was weak. Actually, well, I
- 1:15:18mean it was like, ye, I mean I kind of saw it a
- 1:15:24little different where she was like, should you decide to finally share this with
- 1:15:30us, whether or not you choose to ship. That's kind of how I
- 1:15:32took it, Like, I'm not trying in this moment, right right,
- 1:15:36should you decide whatever happens in the future if that, you know, That's
- 1:15:42kind of how I took it. But the other way is funnier and more
- 1:15:48common place. But Kyle being like, yeah, yeah, I could do
- 1:15:53that. Yeah, maybe like that fake sitting there thinking about like, would
- 1:15:57you ever consider being like in a relationship with a woman or whatever? Let
- 1:16:00me think for a second, crazy Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that
- 1:16:06was her question that she asked to would you guys want to be whatever with
- 1:16:12a woman? And then she took a moment to think about it and then
- 1:16:15answered she listen, you're clocking in, and you're you're using the techniques,
- 1:16:21so you know else I love clocking in is vander Pump talking to Crystal and
- 1:16:27knowing it was going to be some shade and be like, oh is Kyle
- 1:16:30still on the show? Yeah, okay, I missed that because I was
- 1:16:35ran to put the dishes in the dishwasher. Wait what what? I missed
- 1:16:40it? And I screamed because I missed it. It was like a side
- 1:16:42before they started and was talking. It was like coming back from break and
- 1:16:46Andy said, did you hear that? Crystal ran into Lisa vander Pump and
- 1:16:51was talking about being on Beverly Hills Housewives, and then she said, oh,
- 1:16:56is Kyle Richard still on the show? Like not, No, Clearly
- 1:17:00she knew. It's a total Vanderpump prank. It's hilarious. It's so funny.
- 1:17:04I love it. I love it. That's gonna make me and I
- 1:17:06love that Kyle was laughing about it. It's great. Yeah yeah, oh
- 1:17:12oh boy. All right, Well, anything else you guys want to chat
- 1:17:16about before we wrap it up? I think that, uh yeah, I
- 1:17:25guess. I'm I'm curious to see you know. Next week is going to
- 1:17:30be not a dud, but always episode two's are hit or miss, and
- 1:17:34I'm just curious what we're ramping up to in three. I want to get
- 1:17:41to that. Have Kathy coming in. Yeah, that's right. I don't
- 1:17:46know why, I know, I know it's so weird. My guess is
- 1:17:51that she's promoting something because remember when Jamie Lee Curtis was a guest, she
- 1:17:59specifically came on they promoted their charity. But Halloween, yeah, wind chimes
- 1:18:04and wind chimes. So I feel like Kathy's got to be coming on there
- 1:18:08for some reason I don't know, or this was the bone Kyle through the
- 1:18:12show. Instead of mo like coming on, She's like, absolutely not.
- 1:18:15Mauricio is not going to film the reunion. I can't handle that. And
- 1:18:19then she said Kathy's willing to be on or something like that. Maybe that's
- 1:18:23where it's going. I would love to see Rob come on and just spit
- 1:18:26some conspiracies at us and see where we land with that. That's a lot
- 1:18:30more of that guy. Yeah, let's get that guy in here. I
- 1:18:33guess it is weird to have the husbands on for Beverly Hills. It be
- 1:18:39weird in terms of it's been such a focal point for this season with Mauricio,
- 1:18:45so I can kind of go maybe that was the Olive Branch perhaps,
- 1:18:49Yeah, yeah, wow, Okay, well, guys, listen, can
