Drama, Darling Drama, Darling Drama, Darling Indeed Drama, Darling. Welcome
0:25
back. It's Tuesday. Today we're going to recap the Real Housewives of New
0:31
York. Oh a reboot. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy,
0:37
what a day I've had, like, you know, some time to let
0:41
it sync in and things like that. And of course with me today is
0:46
Emily Deesis. Welcome back, Emily one. Hello, I'm a reb Yes,
0:53
she's rebooted, recalibrated, restructured. What have you now? Okay,
1:00
so Emily, let's tell the darlings. When I connected with you this morning,
1:06
I noticed that you were back in the studio, back in your skin
1:10
studio, back in stadio. Mm hmm. And this is just a screen,
1:15
guys, this isn't a wall. This is in a zoom filter and
1:18
behind here are some my clothes and peeking around the corner, I just see
1:26
a classic piece. And not to be passive aggressive to the new cast of
1:32
Roney, but this is a Luyanne piece for the masses. It's it's the
1:38
legs, it's the one piece. And I was like, we got to
1:42
pull them out because we have to give a nod to lou You pulled some
1:47
things. You pulled some items and it is the jumpsuit from the Luanne de
1:52
les Sepp's collection. Remember that that lace number, it's reddish. And she
1:57
wore it out and she is like, Darling, what do you think of
2:00
my new what do you think of my line? Ramona? And it was
2:04
like a not Halloween, it was a holiday party and Ramona queen, Oh
2:09
my god, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I
2:15
and so she said to Ramona, do you like it, durling, and
2:17
Ramona goes, you know what, I'm not sure? You know what,
2:21
I'm not sure. So she was really on the fence about it. Which
2:23
that's why we love Ramona is that she's like, I'm not quite sure if
2:27
I like it, so I'm not gonna give it to you. But you
2:30
know, women supporting women. I think at that point she probably should have
2:32
been like, it's you know what, I like it, but it is
2:36
a jumpsuit. Now. When Emily put this in front of my eyes,
2:40
I was like, wow, your genius, and I said to myself,
2:44
I have the same jumpsuit Emily, to which she was not surprised. Didn't
2:47
bad an, I you know, it was like, yeah, of course
2:51
you do. Pull it out, bring it out. And so here we
2:54
are with our Luanne hanging jumpsuits in the background as we RecA app the reboot
3:00
of New York. So take it for what it is, you know,
3:05
just take it for what it is. The Ogs are, I guess metaphorically,
3:07
uh and and and Teresa, I'm going to be using an analogy this
3:12
is it's like they're always with us, you know. The jumpsuit is representing
3:17
the foundation in which the New York City women from the beginning, the Ogs,
3:22
they laid the foundation and then we would not be here without them.
3:25
So and Amy and I this morning went to the beach and we put a
3:29
flower wreath in the ocean for the Roney wives before that, if passed on
3:35
the franchises not pass on past that other right exactly. Let's make that very
3:40
very very clear. Oh gosh, So we are very excited about that.
3:47
So today Roney reboot. Before we get into that, we have a little
3:53
bit of serving dish to discuss. So Emily, let's do thatving dish.
3:59
Well, you know on our drama Darling Zoom Hangout, our summer Zoom Hangout
4:05
that happened on Sunday night, which was like a party that never ended,
4:12
which still going on. It's practically honestly, I would not be surprised.
4:16
At one point, I was like, I do have to go eat and
4:18
take my lexapro because I was I was two hours off my schedule and that's
4:23
just dangerous. Yeah, you cannot do that. What are you trying to
4:28
do to her? But I was like, should I make someone else a
4:34
moderator so you guys can still hang? And they're like, you know what,
4:36
We're good. We're gonna all go home, like so, you know,
4:41
at that point, I think everyone was exhausted, but we had such
4:44
a great time. Can't wait for the next one. Anyway. During that
4:47
zoom Ben from Beverly Hills who has been a loyal listener and is quite the
4:54
darling and he's always been boots on the ground in Beverly Hills. He has
4:59
an amazing tick talk. Ben Feiner is his name, and he is always
5:04
like posting things. If it's not musical theater stuff, it's it's stuff about
5:10
like what's going on with vander Pump Rules or Beverly Hills because he lives in
5:13
that area, so he always has the four to one one on what's going
5:15
on, like in the sur alley or like when they were revamping the Sir
5:20
Alley and things like that. Like he you know, he goes by,
5:24
he sees what's going on, and he reports back in. Now he's really
5:28
been reporting on something about her. He's been on the ground floor of that,
5:33
just checking in on construction. He does a lot of updates on his
5:38
TikTok and the last update he had was that and then he chimed in on
5:45
the drama Darling hangout from his treadmill by the way at Jim. He was
5:50
at genmill and he was like, yeah, they took the sign down something
5:57
about her sign down, and they cleared off the paddy. The windows are
6:01
like, you know, blocked out, not boarded up. I don't want
6:04
to go too far, just the shades are pulled Okay, you can't see
6:09
in. And he said that because of zoning restrictions and things like that with
6:14
the patio, they are actually having to push back their opening because of what's
6:19
happening with zoning and the patio construction because they wanted to have seating and apparently
6:26
it wasn't right with the city. So they're actually having to in order to
6:30
make seating outside, they're going to take down that patio. So they're going
6:34
to rip it out, I believe, and then they're going to make sure
6:40
a cute patio, but it won't house many patrons of Something about Her.
6:43
If you were to look closely, it's oh, yeah, you know,
6:46
it's cute, but it's not user friendly. And so now they are going
6:50
to I think expand the seating outside down that alley. And as we all
6:55
know, if it's a vander pump Rules restaurant or such or bar, you
7:00
need an alley. So I'm excited Ali. I'm excited about Ali seating if
7:04
in fact that's what it's going to be. And you know, he said
7:08
that chef Penny, who is the chef for Something about Her, really pipes
7:13
in in the comments on his TikTok saying things like we're just broken hearted that
7:16
we can't you know open this has been a real like curveball, and you
7:23
know, one of the darlings, Mike my bish graphic artist, shout out.
7:29
He was like, well, you know, I'm going to just be
7:31
a little devil's advocate and say, is this drama darling that's being you know,
7:38
whipped up during production because he's like, I think they probably will use
7:45
the opening of Something about Her as the finale, And what's an opening without
7:50
some drama, darling, And so like, you know, maybe this is
7:55
all for the cameras that they're having issues with this and that and the other
7:58
thing, to which Ben finer, you know, rebuttal, he says no,
8:03
he says, this is real, This is really happening. Chef Penny
8:07
is very upset about it, and this is a real setback. So look,
8:09
darlings, you be the judge? Do you be the judge? Is
8:13
James Kennedy opening because he got himself an alley? Hi? Everyone, Allie's
8:22
he Allie's seating here and something about us Rice Jill's and Alley with her daughter
8:35
Allie and James's Allie. I mean it's an alley party. Oh god,
8:39
I think, well, let's see what I can see it going either way.
8:46
And also sometimes, like I every restaurant I have ever heard of never
8:50
opens on time, So now it could be real drama that just so happens
8:56
to really serve the show well and still be awful to deal with in reality,
9:03
right, and I mean real life? So who knows? Okay,
9:07
well we'll see. I like that theory though. The theory's great because once
9:13
I heard it, I couldn't unhear it. Yeah, and I was like,
9:15
oh, that's one hundred percent what it is. But then Ben from
9:18
Beverly Hills was like, Chef Penny, she's upset, and I'm like,
9:20
well, if it's she's really upset, then there maybe there's something to it,
9:24
you know. I don't know more vander Pump Rules News. I don't
9:35
know if you know who Lucas Gage is. I don't, but remember a
9:39
long time ago Katie Maloney had like a picture with him. They were like
9:43
laying in bed or something like that. And this was a long time ago
9:46
because I wanted to say country singer when you said that, and he's a
9:50
model. I think he's a model. But anyway, La La and Katie
9:54
Maloney went to his opening of like his hearty for being a model for the
10:03
Giorgio Armani scent. So I just wanted you all to know that, thank
10:09
you, Aqua Digiu. And and he like reposted the picture on the step
10:16
and repeat with Katie and Lala, so they Lalla says the knight smelled like
10:20
heaven very proud of our Lucas. Gage didn't know they were that tight.
10:24
I'll show you, show it to you here. So but it's interesting because
10:28
he has like four hundred thousand followers, you know what I mean. And
10:31
I'm like, I E, this is a blind spot for me. Kids,
10:35
I don't know who this is, but apparently it's a big deal.
10:37
Well, I love it, and I do think that, thank you love
10:41
I do because the vander Pump kids have crossed over. Mmm, they're aving
10:48
and there another dimension, yes, and I hope they can keep it up.
10:52
Okay, I hope this isn't like a passing thing, right, I
10:56
know. I hope so too. I mean, well, I can't wait
11:00
to see Ariana and Dancing with the Stars. I'm excited about that. I
11:03
don't know when it airs, but she's probably a thick of it right now.
11:07
We won't watch it, but okay, I'll watch her. I'll watch
11:13
her like I'll fast forward to her stuff. I guess like that, absolutely
11:18
I do. It's a really long show and now it's streaming, so it's
11:20
like one of those things where you have to go online and find it where
11:24
I would just when Ken You was on, when any of the Brav celebrities
11:28
were on, I would tape it, you know, old school, and
11:33
then I would just fast forward to the dances. And then if a dance
11:37
looked interesting, I'd watch, but if it wasn't, I would fast forward
11:41
right through it and get to the Brav celebrity. So, you know,
11:43
look, it is shocking the Dancing with the Stars is not no longer on
11:48
like television, you know what I mean, because the demographic for that show
11:52
are people who have television sets, you know what I'm saying, and Basic
11:58
cable and Network TV, the Big Bang Theory watchers. They are whatever the
12:03
big CSI heads see. Yes, exactly. In other vander Pump Rules news,
12:11
and this came out a few days ago, but Emily haven't had a
12:13
chance to report this, but apparently Raquel Levis is now officially going to go
12:20
by her birth name Rachel. She we did it. We did it,
12:24
everybody she did. Yes, she wants to take back that name that she
12:30
feels that people have weaponized against her and call her by her name, her
12:37
original birth name. And apparently the name Raquel was something that was a bit
12:43
of a nickname, and then she ended up going with her The rest you
12:45
know, for her life and now she is feeling like coming out of her
12:50
wherever she was for a little while, the rehabit, the facility that she
12:54
was at for her mental health. She has found that this is something that
12:58
will give her, you know, her ownership back of that. And I
13:01
think it's a good move on her behalf to be honest with you, and
13:05
I'm going to respect that. And because it was a weird thing, you
13:09
know, when people like, what what was Jack? What's Jacks's real name,
13:15
Jason? You know, when people are like, okay Jason or okay
13:18
Lauren from Utah, you know, it does seem like such a low blow.
13:22
It's just a little bit weird too well, because it's like when you
13:26
change your name, what you're saying is I'm evolving into something that is something
13:31
I want to become. And if there's any if it's not authentic at all,
13:37
it just is prime for getting under your skin. You've just identified that
13:45
you are not comfortable as the name you were given, and so it's the
13:48
easiest thing to go to. It is. It's the easiest thing to go
13:52
to. Absolutely, it's still pretty funny when people were doing good at the
13:56
beginning, at the beginning. But we'll see we're in a new new time.
14:03
So congratulations on your new on your name. Oops Jah says well done.
14:13
You know I meant to hit the music. I'll never It's never gonna
14:18
be right, darlings, this is what it is. She's behind Norris.
14:24
You need to get like Howard Stern has Fred Norris who just hits all the
14:28
buttons exactly. So couldn't you hire him? Well, he's he never retired,
14:33
did he? So? I mean, bitch, bofe. He was
14:41
toying with that for a night, for a night or two anyway, okay.
14:45
Also, LVP went on social media thanking people for the Anny nomination,
14:50
thinking, bravo Niko Laane. If it were for Nika Laine's fun lighting,
14:56
we wouldn't be so I was happy about that. Oh boy. You know.
15:03
Also another Emmy nomination host for a reality or competition program. Let's give
15:09
it up to pad Malakshmi for Top Chef. I am so happy about this,
15:15
you know, especially with her retiring from Top Chef and after twenty seasons,
15:20
yet another Emmy nom I don't know if she's gotten an Emmy for her
15:26
hosting. I feel like I shouldn't know that, but that's also one of
15:30
those shows I would have thought that I would I would say yes because it's
15:33
a beloved, highly respected show. I know they've won award. Yeah,
15:39
they've won awards. Amazing race you right, Yeah, they've won awards.
15:41
I just don't know if pad Ma has. But I think you're right.
15:43
I think we can all assume. Yes. Thank you San Pellegrino for my
15:48
Emmy nomination. So that uh, I think that's pretty much the news for
15:56
today. Now, Emily, we have what is to be the new version
16:03
of New York that we need to get into. So let's get right into
16:06
the Real house Was of New York, hobb duh. Can we pause,
16:11
right quick, right quick? And Emily, as the Luane jumpsuit hangs beside
16:21
us in remembrance, we now go into the Real Housewives of New York reboot.
16:27
Listen, let's leave our baggage behind us, and let's look at this
16:32
and this is how I did it. I don't know about you, but
16:33
before we even discuss it, I want to talk about the process of shifting
16:37
our the gears in our heads and in our minds and our hearts and souls
16:41
as we know moved into this New New York. For me, I procrastinated
16:49
about as long as I possibly could to watch it. And it's not because
16:55
I wasn't curious. It's because I just couldn't shift. I couldn't make that
16:59
shift. And it's also not because I was being a hater. I wanted.
17:03
I was excited about the playground of New York, you know what I
17:07
mean. I was excited to have that as a backdrop, so that in
17:10
and of itself, to me, is already a selling point. I knew
17:14
that they could just basically throw you know, shit on a shingle, and
17:18
I'd probably be like, it's actually pretty good, you know what I mean,
17:21
because they have the New York backdrop, and anyone who lives in New
17:25
York, who is living that life just by default, is going to be
17:29
compelling in and of itself, just by way of where they live, by
17:33
what they do, by what they wear, and so that in and of
17:37
itself, to me, I knew was going to be a huge selling point,
17:40
and I already knew i'd be in so now was just a matter of
17:45
like, you know, wrapping my head around a whole knew what I feels
17:48
like, it feels like a whole new city to embrace in the sense that
17:52
you know when Potomac came out or Dallas, I feel like Vicky Gunbils and
17:56
another dude, bitch. I gotta like you know what I mean, Like
18:00
it's like, here we go again. I got to learn all we have
18:03
to learn all new people, we have to learn all their backstories. It's
18:06
just a lot of work. And you know, we're fatigued as an audience
18:10
by some level, and we're like overserved, and so in a way,
18:14
it's like it feels like a fresh drink. But I'm also like I was
18:18
hesitant to try because I'm just like I'm tired. I'm a tired old lady.
18:22
Okay, I'm tired of working getting to do do people. And so
18:27
that was my process. Now I'll hold back my opinions on the show in
18:32
general because I want to hear your process. I'mily going into this here.
18:37
It wasn't I just turned it on. I didn't really have a process.
18:41
I didn't and I was curious as as a production how Bravo Like, I
18:52
was like, this is like such a bold choice. This is what I
18:55
was thinking ahead of it. I hope that they can land this thing like
18:59
I that they know what they're doing. I love it. Like I couldn't
19:07
believe how well that first pilot was to me. It feels like a pilot.
19:14
Yes, it feels like a pilot. Yes, so like that this
19:18
first episode, I was just like, this really does feel so fresh.
19:22
Even the intro is fresh. It feels everything feels updated. All the women
19:30
are really compelling to me. All their looks are like like their fashion is
19:36
like so on point where I'm like, we're not going to see like a
19:41
beaded tunic for a minute, which would be nice, And I think I
19:48
think, like, also, you know, I feel like we are seeing
19:52
these these women are the are Roney wives of yesteryear. These are these are
20:00
like uh Sonya, Lou Ramona, pre market, crash, pree divorce.
20:07
We're kind of seeing like, yes, we haven't seen these women hit their
20:11
financial hardships yet, right, fascinating to me. I mean, what was
20:17
so great about seeing the Old Guard is that, like you see how they
20:22
came out of things on the other side, and we didn't see like we
20:25
didn't we didn't see a lot of their divorces. We didn't see all like
20:29
they're right sizing but yeah, so I don't know. So this I'm just
20:34
so insanely like surprised at how much I love it. Okay, so me
20:41
too. With all that said, kind of having a little bit of baggage
20:45
coming into this, I was like, oh, this is so great.
20:48
I mean, just really falling in love with all the people, all the
20:55
women wanting to know more, loving just the the everything that I'm seeing.
21:00
The apartments are incredible, the fashion, the you know, just the now,
21:07
the youth, but also the relatability of like, I love that Jenna
21:12
is what does she say? She was fifty four? Love that? You
21:17
know, I like, I'm Jenna's obviously. I mean, I'm no surprise.
21:21
I knew going in that Jenna Lines was probably going to be my favorite,
21:23
and of course she is. I mean I can't get enough. I
21:26
can't get enough right, and also fifty four but feels younger than every wife
21:32
in every other city. Yes, you know, like just her lifestyle.
21:36
Here's the thing we haven't seen a wife like. To me, the closest
21:40
we've come to these kind of wives is Carol Radswell. I was just I
21:45
was thinking the same thing. I was, like, they took Carol Rads
21:47
Redsville, and they multiplied her. They like ai'ed her kind of you know,
21:52
and she's like one of my top top faves of all time. Well,
21:56
and I agree with you there too, because she brought something so fresh
22:00
at the time and in a way that's that vibe yeah, that we're seeing
22:03
now. Yeah. So I I also just there's like an edge and a
22:11
grit to it that hasn't It just feels very like New York, even like
22:15
the choices in terms of like how they're filming them in like Washington Park or
22:21
like how they're filing you know, like in the Square, or like how
22:23
like there was just something there's just something edgier to this, even though the
22:29
edge isn't coming from the wives fighting, the edges coming from like their fashion.
22:36
And yes, it's the New York. That's why New York to me
22:41
will probably never fail because, like I said, the default of you're going
22:45
to get people who are unbelievable, like if you can't just live not everyone
22:51
can just live in New York City. I mean, I think that Aaron
22:55
said it perfectly when she said that she got married young at twenty five.
22:59
She said that, you know, twenty five in New York City is like
23:03
thirty five in Kentucky, because it is you really do grow up faster.
23:07
It's more fatiguing. Like I have a friend who worked in fashion who was
23:12
basically living you know, the Devil Wears Prada. She that was basically her
23:17
life and she now lives in Santa Clarita, and in many ways, it's
23:22
like she seems so seasoned to me as a person, and she stands out
23:26
to me as a person because it's like she's lived this unbelievable life and in
23:30
such a short amount, like it was maybe six years, but really it's
23:33
like dog years, you know what I mean. So I'm so excited that
23:40
you feel that way too. It seems like, I would say a majority
23:44
of people, because I haven't tried to really look to see what people are
23:47
saying because I didn't want to be persuaded one way or the other. But
23:48
it seems like now when I've checked, people are really gaga about it.
23:52
Yeah. And that's not to say I don't want to see like Ramona and
23:59
those gals on some other thing, and I get that it must be pretty
24:03
hard for them. I can't imagine actually to have their franchise go on without
24:10
them and be awesome. That must suck, but I think it really needed
24:15
it, especially after that last Rowny season. I mean, it just feels
24:19
like Ramona is not They're not evolved. I don't necessarily need to see a
24:26
huge evolution, but I do need to see like some freshness, and just
24:33
bringing in one or two cast members isn't going to do it. We were
24:38
kind of seeing like kind of like a New York that is kind of generic
24:44
in a way. Well, and there are different women, There are different
24:49
looking women, There are different cultures and colors, and that is very,
24:55
very very refreshing to see, which I think that we all want to see
25:00
in in any franchise really, you know, in any franchise. But I
25:04
did particularly love that they seem to know each other, you know, pretty
25:10
good at least. I still have to kind of clock where we're at in
25:14
terms of relationships, because Aaron has never been to Jenna's house and a lot
25:18
of them met and fashion Well, we know that Brinn and Cy are best
25:23
friends. Are they and Jessel too or are they I don't know. I
25:26
don't know because if they're best friends, how did Brittant know Size House is
25:30
a shoes off? House was well that okay. So that to me,
25:36
I was wondering that too, because I was like, okay, hmm,
25:41
was she saying that for the camera or was you know what I mean?
25:44
That's what I was thinking. I don't know, but that's it. That
25:47
to me, if I any editor worth their salt would be like, cut
25:51
that out because she just said they're best friends. So like, I know,
25:56
in my world, who's a shoes off house and I'm pack a pair
26:00
of socks if need be, And also her being like I have an extra
26:03
pair of house shoes, you know, I mean you should know that.
26:07
Yeah, yeah, exactly. I was just gonna say, I said,
26:11
Si, but I meant Brenna, Yeah, you know the rules at your
26:15
best friend's house. It's so I was just kind of like, hmmm,
26:19
yeah. To me, that seemed like a a camera an on camera exposition
26:26
in a way. I'm going to give it to them that they said that,
26:30
you know, for the cameras, but I don't know, I don't
26:32
know, I'm not I'm not giving it. Well, I'm not being given.
26:36
I love you know, you and I go back and forth with our
26:38
tough love, and that's what gives us the balance that we need here with
26:44
the drama. Now, I do love that they all met in fashion,
26:48
at least most of them. And the drama that happens in this episode,
26:55
which isn't much, but it was enough for me because like, we don't
26:59
need it to be heavy handed obviously coming out of the gates, or else
27:02
it will seem manufactured. And the fact that it was about a restaurant that
27:07
Brinn didn't want to be caught dead in which we all know now I think
27:11
is catch, right. Yeah, they're calling out the restaurant's catch him.
27:15
It's pretty obvious when you watch it. They're like like they were explaining catch
27:19
and I was like, catch is the shitty wife of this She's like,
27:25
I don't want to say this person's shitty, but they're treating catch like Alex
27:29
McCord. They were just like, I'm not I'm not going to I'm not
27:34
going to catch. Like they're treating it like her Brooklyn Brownstone, you mean
27:40
yes, or just her. They're just like she's oundated right the way the
27:45
old life, the way like Ramona. And then we'll talk about Alex McCord
27:49
back in the day. Is how this group is talking about in their opening
27:52
Catch. I'm just glad it wasn't a restaurant that the OG New York Housewives
27:59
would go to all the time, because that would be such a slam,
28:02
you know what I mean, because we never really heard them be at Catch.
28:04
We heard them be well like Cipriani, and you know we we saw
28:07
the Boutique, which is now you know rip, but you know some of
28:11
the other restaurants, uh, and I yeah, I can't what was Ramona's
28:15
sports bar for a second, I don't know. It was like the Nette
28:21
or some weird thing, like I have no clue. That was Wow,
28:26
you just took me there. I'm like, whoa. We were thanks to
28:30
all the darlings that told us Harry Harry Harry Dubin yes from an episode or
28:37
two ago. Sorry we could not think of his name. We yeah,
28:41
we appreciate that so much. But going back to the restaurant thing, I
28:45
did really appreciate that. We did get a little uh, Brenna explaining that
28:52
it's necessarily wait, Brenna, I Brenna because I kept calling her there was
28:59
Brena. It makes no Brenda Brenda. But uh, when she was like
29:10
Olive Gardens, fine, It's like it was something about this particular place in
29:15
the trend in being trendy or whatever. Oh yeah, that she's not a
29:18
D list model from It's not two thousand and five, right, And it
29:22
was basically like, if you want to be seen, then you go to
29:27
these particular restaurants in this order and then don't go to this. It wasn't
29:33
about the food, it was about the scene. So she was like kind
29:37
of a librow. I like that, so explaining it, Yeah, And
29:41
I saw Aaron's point like it was a last minute thing. We had a
29:42
ton of people and we needed to get somewhere, and New York is tough,
29:48
like because a lot of those great restaurants that you do want to go
29:52
to that that are not a scene are probably a little bit more you know,
29:56
they're smaller, they're a little bit more intimate. But like, I
29:59
don't I don't know how you get into Catch either. I mean, obviously
30:02
people aren't like dying to get in or else they wouldn't have had that big
30:06
of a table or was Aaron like, we want to be seen? I
30:08
mean, was that that's I guess my question we're going to be the New
30:12
Housewives, should we just go to Catch? Because I would think that maybe
30:17
they would call her out on that, like why why do you want to
30:21
you know, Aaron just wants to be seen. I don't know. I'm
30:23
not sure that's a good point because there would have been three new wives there,
30:29
right, yes, and their husbands and right, so maybe they were
30:33
trying Aaron did have some motive there. But I mean, I guess the
30:41
bottom line is, then don't say you're going home and then do a selfie
30:47
at another restaurant. I mean, I don't typically like love to dig into
30:52
what obviously are off production. But you know, they obviously knew that she
30:57
was going to see that. So were they stirring up drama like a week
31:00
before they go to and you know, film or what. I don't know.
31:04
I mean, I don't really care if they did. But it's it
31:10
was funny that Si says in her confessional like Aaron's always mad at someone,
31:15
you know, And then we get this whole explanation that Aaron thinks that Ci
31:21
was rude to her about her cheese, about her charcoterie board and that then
31:26
and Brynn Brinna starts to explain what she says Aaron was saying, like at
31:33
her house in Brooklyn, at SI's house in Brooklyn and saying like oh,
31:37
she was like, oh you eat cheese. That's weird. And so here
31:41
we are with this whole. Now we've got a restaurant argument or you know,
31:47
you know, a situation, and we have, as Jenna Lyons called
31:49
it, cheesegate, which I can back both of those things, like out
31:53
of the gates. I'm so here for a lighthearted restaurant argument and a cheese
31:59
argument meant because we could talk about cheese for two hours, you know,
32:04
and I don't think either one of us would get cheese. Oh yeah,
32:07
okay, So Trader Joe's has a really good strawberry Stilton cheese right now that
32:14
I it is so good anyway, and it's probably like off this like they
32:20
probably already are done with it, so I don't know, but it's okay,
32:22
well now like two weeks ago, but go for it if you can
32:27
find it. Anyway back to he was right, I now want to talk
32:34
about cheese for two hours. But yeah, but this argument happening and boiling,
32:40
you know, like just similaring like a fondue pot of cheese in the
32:44
background is poetic. But I love the way it resolved, like all right,
32:50
yes, okay, like bring to me. That was a little bit
32:53
of a okay, I got your number brand you can say something stirred up.
32:59
Yeah. So I don't even know how we got to the end of
33:01
it because Aaron was basically like I didn't say that. That is a lie.
33:06
No, but also like housewives want to one, Brinn, you have
33:10
been called to have this argument, Jenna. Don't stop the action. Yeah,
33:16
good job continuing the action? Oh good, right, remember because Jenna's
33:22
like, this is no stop. Yeah, I can't talk about cheese anymore.
33:27
Well you've got a whole autumn. Yeah. So asurance like all right,
33:31
then we need to go in the other room and continue this. I
33:35
know the producers are like, thank you God, somebody gets it. Yeah,
33:39
but I don't even know how they resolved it. Like remember they were
33:43
on the bed, but Brynn never said like yeah, I lied, Like,
33:46
but where did she come up with this story about like you don't eat
33:50
cheese? That's weird. It's this whole story. I'm like, was she
33:52
drunk when she said that? I am so confused. But I mean,
33:55
I guess we can't hold onto this. I we can't hold onto it.
33:59
We just have to move forward. But I am you will have to look
34:01
back because this is going to be one of those things where Brin led about
34:06
Cheesegate, Brin led about this bryn light. I mean, because according to
34:08
Aaron, Brynn is a liar face. She's a liar face. And I'm
34:13
starting to believe it. Like coming out of the gates and starting some sort
34:15
of telephone rumor about Aaron, you know, saying that Cy was rude about
34:21
her cheese is very strange. Yeah, I think this will be in a
34:25
flashback sequence. I think the editors have put a little flag on this and
34:31
it's going to go in a roll of threes sequence maybe end of this year,
34:37
early next season where she's just bullshitted too much and says she doesn't and
34:42
then we'll see the cheese thing in there. So I'll be like, oh
34:45
my god, the cheese. We should Trader Joe still have that Stilton.
34:50
Yeah, We'll be like we saw it all along. She came out of
34:53
the gates as a liar and now she's doing it again. It's a pattern,
34:57
you know, and not to And here's thing that I don't know if
35:00
anybody watched the brook Shields documentary that just came out. No, but you
35:06
have reminded me. I have been wanting to see that. I'm gonna write
35:08
it. I'm gonna text myself. I'm texting myself. So working okay now?
35:13
And I know Jenna wants to be a total trailblazer. But she and
35:17
brook Shields have the same kitchen. Oh it was like driving me nuts because
35:23
in a great way, but I because I loved brook Shield's kitchen in Manhattan,
35:29
and then I saw Jenna's and I was like, oh my gosh,
35:30
she's got Brookshield's kitchen. Did brook Shields film in Jenna's kitchen? Like?
35:37
I was just sure, is it like an Ashley Furniture kitchen? Because did
35:39
then I do the Ashley Furniture commercials? Well, I don't know, but
35:46
Ashley Furniture listen, I'm happy to sponsor. I'd be a sponsor for you
35:52
on this podcast, Ashley Furniture, And just so you know, I have
35:55
been in some Ashley Furniture on camera commercial. Thank you very nice. Back
36:02
in the dayag after strong, Wait, what did you what you had to
36:07
say? What did you have to say for that? No? I just
36:09
said sag after Strong because we're on strike right now. But like, yeah,
36:16
in the commercial, I was like, sag after Strong. I only
36:22
did one commercial, never air because I had to yell sag after Strong.
36:30
Oh God, okay, wait, but what were you gonna say? We're
36:34
gonna say? Oh, I like, I love a prefab kitchen. When
36:37
I go to Ikea and they have the kitchen set up in there, I'm
36:42
always like, wow, this is amazing. Like I don't it's so great.
36:45
I am not a judger of kitchens. Okay, hold on, I
36:46
don't think that Jenna Lyon's kitchen is prefab. Let's just well, watch the
36:52
Brookshields documentary. They had the same architect or designer. Then it's the same
36:57
kitchen. Okay, like and I and to the point that I wondered,
37:01
if they know that the two of them must have the same designer, darlings,
37:07
let's make them aware. I want to side by side of their two
37:10
kitchens. That's that's what I want. Yeah, and it's a gorgeous kitchen.
37:15
Gorgeous. Yeah, I'm not I'm just saying I noticed it so much.
37:21
And it's towards the end of the Brookshields documentary. Oh, Okay,
37:24
well that's good because the darlings will be looking and we need to fast forward
37:28
through that if they're not going to watch. But we knew we do need
37:31
to talk about genaal Lion's apartment because I loved it. I mean, it's
37:37
it is like as Aaron said, it's a pad and the difference is is
37:40
that, like, you know, she doesn't have any kids, which I
37:45
think is a great point to like it being like a cool like space because
37:50
it's it may not be user friendly for a person other than Gena Lions,
37:53
which is what she was saying. And we got to know that she's a
37:55
real estate agent, which I didn't realize, but saying like it's mostly all
38:00
bedroom and all closet, which is kind of like every girl's dream, you
38:06
know, if you've got a lot of clothes, Well, like the most
38:09
beautiful layout of a closet, the most beautiful layout of a bed, Like
38:15
it's like, it's not just like what my closet is, No, it's
38:20
like you know what I mean. The chair fell through that what was the
38:25
story on that chair? There was no frame to the to underneath the cushion.
38:30
It was a it's a joke chair it's a prank chair. Gendalians has
38:34
a prank chair in her closet. She's like, ah, I can't talk
38:39
about chairs anymore. But I mean like she didn't break the chair. There
38:45
was nothing. Yes, Oh did I lose you? Hold on, Okay,
38:52
I'm recording again. We got disconnected by the ghost of Gena Lions here.
38:58
It's probably Ramona. Oh, it's the it's the it's the jumpsuit.
39:02
Jumpsuit disconnected us. Sorry jumpsuit. Okay, but that chair, yeah,
39:09
anyway, it was it's prank chair. But I love the pink couch.
39:13
And if you haven't seen, if you weren't able to really see her apartment,
39:17
there is a tour on like probably BravoTV dot com. I've watched the
39:22
tour. It's just gorgeous. I mean I haven't seen that. But I
39:24
love the shoe closet. Three hundred and eighty shoes. I mean it's it's
39:29
too many for I would never have that many because I'm not in fashion,
39:31
but like, good for her love it. I love that little book nook
39:37
that her chairs are for somebody who's so tall. I mean, you really
39:40
got to get down. It's like a squattypot. I mean, you really
39:43
got the way she sits in her chair, like in that book nook,
39:45
She's all the way down, like crunched over. I'm like, I didn't
39:49
even think about that. You're so right. She's chairs from sir. Oh
39:55
yeah, yes, that's right. We went there that time and to sit
40:00
really low. The chairs that sir are like two feet tall. They're like
40:05
kid table chairs. Like at Bravocan they had this like little set where it
40:10
was the Mini Watcher Happens Live set, and so it's like there you're sitting
40:15
in tiny chairs, so you look oversized, you know what I mean,
40:20
That's what it's like in Jenna's apartment. You're just an oversize You're an oversized
40:22
person in tiny chairs except for that pink couch. But I love that.
40:29
I am a sucker for a Chevron floor. My god, she's got the
40:32
Chevron floor. So I mean I was like, oh, Mama, that's
40:37
just like I know that I will be living my best life when I have
40:39
Chevron floors, because it will happen and I love a Chevron floor. Obsessed
40:44
with that. Her style is great. I did you like the boobs pillows?
40:50
I mean I thought that was hilarious and just so on point for her.
40:54
And there was just so much cheese, so much cheese, that it
40:59
was almost I was like I was concerned for their their digestion. Oh my
41:05
god, Yes, I don't understand. Again, I don't know how any
41:09
of these people can drink that much and eat that much cheese. I don't
41:15
get it. Well, I guess because they live in New York City.
41:16
They're constantly walking, but it's like it is confusing when you see how thin
41:21
they are and you're like when they're like, oh my god, cheese and
41:23
candy, and it's like, what, how are you guys doing this?
41:29
I don't get it. I know. Yeah, Like when Jenna's talking about
41:31
like how much like how her diet consists of just like candy, coffee and
41:37
cheese. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was like, God, bless
41:42
you. I know, four pounds right right Jenna's Oh. We fail to
41:49
mention that her apartment is in Soho and that is very cool because you I
41:52
love seeing all the different areas of New York City of Soho. You'd Tribeca,
41:57
Columbus Circle. Uba is in Columbus Circle. Need to see more of
42:00
her apartment. That looked really cool. Mm hmm. So is her was
42:06
her the ones with the oreoss Oh no, no, that was we I
42:12
don't oh that was Jessel's all white and that all white. That's not my
42:19
style. But like, god bless h I was. It just looked.
42:22
I was just like, okay, well expensive, but it wasn't my style.
42:28
I mean I was like, and you have kids and you're worried about
42:30
like, don't have white you know, don't have like a table that you
42:35
can see fingerprints because it's gonna be an uphill battle. And you know,
42:39
I mean the fact that she was like, mom, get the finger like
42:43
start wiping up. I'm like, girl, please, You're so lucky to
42:45
have your mom here with you helping you. Meanwhile, you know, have
42:50
a living housekeeper at this point, because you are you're working with an uphill
42:55
battle here with all white and like chrome like the things that will absorb every
43:02
grease mark. Right, Oh my god, Jessel has two Wait now,
43:09
who has the twin babies. It's uh yeah, Jessel. Yeah, because
43:15
they go down to Brooklyn and the twin babies are they're driving over the Brooklyn
43:19
Bridge for the first time, so for the first time they're driving over the
43:22
Brooklyn Bridge to get to Size house. And yet they're best friends? Are
43:30
they okay? Or maybe they're not, but they were together. Yeah,
43:35
britn Insie our best friend Brit and best friend. Jessel's just like the friend
43:39
it sounds like, but also like in fairness, yes she should have been
43:45
to Brooklyn because it sounds like Size been in that brownstone for a long time.
43:50
But as we know from cast Pass, if you don't live in Brooklyn,
43:55
you you're not going to Brooklyn. That's right. Well, I also
44:00
I was like, this Brooklyn Bridge scene is so reminiscent. We're always going
44:04
to think about, Oh yeah, you're probably gonna mess up up with Jason
44:07
too. You know, he's probably gonna leave you too, like we all
44:09
are gonna have these flashbacks and oh my god, so oh I did love
44:16
that. Jessel was talking to her husband, Pavet, and he was sitting
44:22
at the table, that white table, and she's just like he had all
44:25
of his like work stuff set up. He just got in his computer,
44:29
like his coffee, his phone, like he was all set up nicely at
44:31
the at the dining room table. And then she comes over and is all,
44:37
are you planning on doing this, like, here are you? This
44:43
is this what we're doing? He's like, I got my gout coffee in
44:46
my plant and she's like, is there somewhere else you can move? This
44:52
is I mean, it's definitely a page right out of my I mean I
44:57
sort of say out of my playbook because it was very bitch wife wife.
45:02
I loved it. I was like, are you gonna be doing this?
45:06
It's like, I'm just living my life. I live here, like I'm
45:08
working. She's going to We're gonna definitely see some cracks in that. They
45:17
all we are best friends, and I'm like, well I wouldn't talk to
45:22
my best friend that way. But we'll see. Hey, we'll see,
45:27
we'll see. She moved from London at twenty two to do fashion and I
45:31
was like, where's your accent? And then I heard it in the confessional
45:35
but not really walking around her house. Yeah you know he her mom has
45:40
Yeah, mom's got it okay. And then we got Aaron and Tribecca with
45:47
her husband and her her husband Abe and her big family, Like there is
45:52
really I love this. This was really an interesting and aspirational story just to
45:58
see how close her family is and she was born, they were all born
46:01
and raised in New York City, and that they have three kids basically,
46:07
and they love having sex. They're just yeah, they're great together apparently,
46:10
and I love that. In her confessional, Aerin was like, the key
46:14
to parenting is finding ways so that your kids will leave you alone. It's
46:16
like, that's amazing. Yeah, that's how I do it. They just
46:22
leave me. They just leave you alone. Give them, give them a
46:25
Luan jumpsuit and call it a day. Again, I do not have children,
46:32
Darling children, Si? Do SI have kids? Because I know her
46:38
husband David is retired. Okay, wait, remember she has twins, she
46:43
has two kids. Okay. We definitely saw her daughter, who was super
46:45
cute, trying to unload the dishwasher on camera and asking where the dishes go
46:51
and she's like, do you live here? Oh? I don't remember that?
46:53
Okay, I see. This is where I get a little lost in
46:55
the weeds when I'm looking at my notes. You know, they don't remember.
46:59
They didn't. They didn't identify cut scenes in on my when I was
47:04
watching Peacock. Oh so maybe that was a cut scene. I don't know.
47:07
They usually identify cut scenes, but they didn't in this, Okay,
47:10
Well, they probably introduced her. I would imagine it's very important for the
47:14
first episode to know VAM kids, and so they probably I just probably glossed
47:17
right over it. Uba is single, yes, because she's not. She's
47:23
the only one who's single. Brin Oh shit, Brinn. Duh. So
47:29
Brin and Uba are single and the rest are married with kids young raides very
47:35
interesting. If that's a really good I like that. I like that,
47:39
Yeah, I really. Brinn's a troublemaker, but like, I'm so drawn
47:45
to her. She's so like legit bubbly and like fun, I like pase,
47:52
and she's cute, and that hair is like, I mean, I
47:57
would just kill I would kill for her hair. It's unbelieve Yeah, it's
48:01
like a perfect written a wig. That's maybe why I that's why. Yeah.
48:09
So when they were at the party they have Jenna has a black,
48:15
golden, metallic or khaki party. We did hear a little bit about Jenna's
48:20
story about how she started at Jay Crew in nineteen ninety and then ended in
48:23
twenty seventeen as the president and an executive creative director, which is started as
48:29
like an assistant assistant assistant working in like the Hallway love. Yeah, I
48:36
love it. So that is impressive, very impressive. And to see like
48:43
her journey and now that she and she also has a child, she's like,
48:45
I just feel like spending time with my kid is more important. So
48:49
she's not like, oh, she's got a lash line eyelash line, right,
48:53
yeah, yeah, because her tagline is something like my lashes are fake,
48:58
but something something my glasses are real. But she has a son.
49:05
His name is Beckett and he's fifteen, and that cute picture of him with
49:08
a little kitty and he's got like the pearl necklace and the gold necklace and
49:15
he looks adorable. And I was just like looking up because I didn't know
49:21
what her story was. She was married to artist Vincent Masseau from two thousand
49:25
and two to twenty eleven, and together they have a son, Beckett Lyons
49:30
Maseau, who was born October third, two thousand and six. And it
49:35
says and during the midst of her divorce from him in twenty eleven, she
49:42
was outed by the New York Post. So I'm sure we'll get into that
49:45
story. Shame on that, yeah, remember they also I think it was
49:51
the New York Posts outed Anderson Cooper and Jodie Foster around that time. Also,
49:55
like but Perez Hilton was also outing people back there, that's right,
50:00
or was yeah, yeah, So I'm sure we'll hear more about that.
50:05
I'm I'm really intrigued to hear her tell her story about that. That'll be
50:09
interesting. But this this whole khaki gold black and then having to like fall
50:15
in line with her, you know, dress code is hilarious because they don't
50:22
really they're kind of fighting it a little bit and they kind of fall back
50:27
on the black. But like, I love the UBA's like khaki, Like
50:30
you don't wear khaki unless you're in the Safari. Like okay, So so
50:32
she wears some animal print, which I loved. But I love a theme
50:37
party. I thought it was great, and I mean, I love the
50:38
fashion they all showed up. I do too, and I I read I
50:44
when she said it, I wasn't thinking khaki pants. I really thought of
50:49
it as the color, so I was I was surprised that they all were
50:52
thinking of it as like like that khaki fabric, like a tan pants or
50:58
something. I know. I'm like, it's it's not like we're going to
51:00
be working at Target and have to have khaki you know, khaki khakis and
51:06
a red you know button up. It's like, you know, you can
51:09
do something with it. Yeah. So I mean, ultimately Cy apologize to
51:15
Aaron for bailing on the catch dinner and they kind of push that away.
51:21
Then they play a game because Jenna does not like small talk, and so
51:25
she's got, you know, all these cards and they're talking to me.
51:28
It's it's this whole thing of like when they start talking about sex and it's
51:31
kind of forced. I'm like, okay, we get it, like we
51:34
agree. If you of annoying, I'm just like yes. And it's that's
51:39
when they felt not like Ramona, but it just felt like like old og
51:45
Housewives. Yes, thank you. Yeah, like they don't need to shoehorn
51:50
that in there, right, And I didn't know. I mean, it
51:54
feels like maybe Jenna legit thought it was good. I can see like the
51:59
producers being like, that's a good idea, let's do it because it is
52:02
an icebreaker. But I was bored. I was bored too. I mean
52:08
I did like Jenna's interview, her confessional when she was like, you know,
52:15
being with a man, it's like you don't know both of you are
52:17
gonna like and uh, you know, happily. But being with a woman,
52:22
you're just like both you know, going in, you're gonna do what
52:25
it takes to get the job done. And I was like, that is
52:28
so funny. It just goes to show women are like they're they're gonna work,
52:32
They're gonna work for it, They're gonna work to make it go.
52:36
Any same sex relationship would probably be like that because you know the equipment,
52:40
so you know exactly what you're doing. So I feel like, I it
52:46
probably game men would be the same. So good Nah, perhaps you're right,
52:51
yeah, good on them. But I did think that that was interesting
52:53
to have her in the confessional just being like pretty, that's more of an
52:57
organic moment to me than to play a game like you know, and I
53:00
just thought that was like so boring. It's just boring. It's boring,
53:04
Okay, I said it. Now when Aaron and Brynn make up, and
53:09
Aaron says to Brn, I felt like you decided who you were going to
53:13
align yourself with when and then you got weird with me. That was definitely
53:17
a fourth wall thing, and that's definitely an Housewives play. But to say
53:22
a line felt very survivor. I was like, oh, this is like
53:28
going beyond for this. It was just intert I agree that was the language,
53:34
yes, aligning, but it's Joan never says that on there, but
53:38
that's what they do, like when a new housewife comes on, and like,
53:44
for example, when Danielle and Rachel came on to Jersey, it's like
53:52
Rachel wanted to align herself with Margaret and that team, so she immediately kind
53:57
of threw Danielle under the bus for something because she wanted to align with them,
54:01
and Danielle wanted to align herself with Teresa on that side, so she
54:07
was not willing to like stand up for herself in the confessional that they completely
54:10
set her up, you know. Like so it's one of those things where
54:13
I do feel like housewives who are new or when they're just starting their foray
54:19
into the group, they kind of pick and choose teams, you know,
54:22
they do. But I also think it's an expansion of like the culture of
54:27
being a socialite, because that's also like kind of where Housewives originated. So
54:35
it's not that far of a reach for these people to have alignments that make
54:40
no sense to anyone else. And like operating and like trying to like get
54:46
the right pecking order in because remember at the beginning, I think Jill Zarin
54:53
kind of was the top socialite, right, Yes, She's really the one
54:59
who brought up everybody together. I mean, for the most part, she
55:01
was the center apple in the sense that she is the one who reached out
55:06
to Luan, she knew Ramona, she brought Bethany in. I know,
55:12
I think maybe she knew Sonya. I'm not sure, but but she really
55:15
was the one that knew everybody. Yeah, So like maybe in New York
55:22
City socialite back whenever that was Jill's erin was either a kingpin or maybe maybe
55:30
her power was bringing these people together and then she who knows, But like
55:34
clearly it's not that far of a stretch or that hard for these women to
55:39
like figure out the climbing structure in a new group and then try to rise
55:45
to the top, right right, Yep. And I can understand because it's
55:51
like Aaron doesn't seem like somebody who's going to be that intense in terms of
55:57
like her charisma, So I think she can be a little bit, maybe
56:00
she'll be more of a sleeper, but still a strong character, you know
56:04
what I mean, Whereas I can see why maybe Brynn is like, oh,
56:07
I think Jessel's got it more in her or I think size got it
56:10
more in her. So broad strokes, because really all that happened was they
56:16
came out of the closet and so to speak, and they had some of
56:21
Jenna's clothes on, and of course they hugged with the sequence in the lace
56:22
and we know that those don't mix. Boy, that was that was a
56:25
rough moment. That was rough. Jenna kept it pretty together, I mean
56:30
like I had it like That's where I was like, man, she's so
56:34
cool. She really won me over with that really won me over. So
56:40
what are your thoughts like in terms of do you have a favorite? Do
56:45
you? Is it too soon to say Jenna? I mean from the jump
56:49
when they announced her casting, I was like, yes, But but the
56:54
the person that's coming up from behind and watching back Jenna for me is Brent.
57:00
Brent, Yeah, yeah, okay, all right, gosh, Emily,
57:05
