  Speaker 1: Hey girls, Gone Hallmark listeners, wanted to take a quick
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: minute to introduce you to our newest podcast, Last to
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the Party. Last to the Party is a Bravo rewatch podcast,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: So if we have any Bravo listeners in our Hallmark community,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: this might be the podcast for you. We are going
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: back to the beginning, starting with Summer House season one
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: and recapping episode by episode. Fair warning, the content is
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: ever so slightly less family friendly than our Hallmark content,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: but it's still the Megan and Wendy podcasting you know
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and love. This is the very first Last to the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Party episode that you're going to hear, but there are
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: several episodes available over in the Last to the Party
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: feed for you to check out. Enjoy the episode. Hear
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: me out.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I think he's like equal part charming and also walking
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: red Flag.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: To Last to the Party a Bravo rewatch podcast. I'm Megan,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: fashionably late to all things Bravo, but make it up
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: for lost time. I'm Wendy.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I'm an og Bravo superfan who's seen it all probably
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: twice each week.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: On Last to the Party, we're rewinding the clock and
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: watching Bravo shows from the very beginnings starting with season
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: one of Summerhouse.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: That's right, we're going back to the beginning, the Kiata cookups,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Carl's full f boy era, the evolution from Twisted Tea
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: to lover Boy. It's a full rewatch, episode by episode.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: And if you've never seen these shows, that's fine, because
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I hadn't either. Think of this like watching with your
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Bravo obsessed friend and your Bravo curious friend at the
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: same time.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: New episodes drop every Friday, so grab your rose and
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: let's dive into this week's drama.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Now, you'd think this is season one, episode one of Summerhouse.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: You'd think we wouldn't need to start this episode with
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a previously on segment, but you'd be wrong, because this
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: episode begins as the second half of a crossover episode
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: of vander Pump Rules, which is a little jarring to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the viewer, and by viewer, I mean me because in
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: my notes it literally says episode one hot effing mess.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: And then I had to text you, like, what is
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: going on?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you had to come to the encyclopedia of Bravo
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: to kind of be like no, no, no.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: No no.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: This was like this was an extension episode basically of
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: vander Pump Roules and now it makes sense.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, So anyway, let's hear a synopsis of this episode.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: So season one episode once. The title is Summer House,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: originally aired on January ninth, twenty seventeen. The synopsis is
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Summer is here, which for this group of friends means
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: it's time to escape the rat race of NYC and
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: jet out to the Hamptons.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Wolf, I don't know who wrote this.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: They've rented a weekend house in montac and this year
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: they've put together the perfect group, that is, if they
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: don't let the drama of living together get the best
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: of them. Twins Ashley and Lauren invite their la friend
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Stacy out to see the new Digs, but she's got
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: her sites on their roommate Kyle. Meanwhile, longtime friends Everett
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and Lindsay shock everyone by shacking up, and new guy
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Carl plays the field and maybe Lauren's heartstrings.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I did not write this. Who has their eyes on Kyle?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: According to some oppoite seed store see I mean does.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, it doesn't, I mean, it's none of this is
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: completely accurate. I think I might op pull it from
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the either IMDb or the Wikipedia.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Summer House page.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Hey Megan, what was your first impression of Summer House Season.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: One, Episode one? Well, I feel like we start in
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: a weird place. My notes as mentioned say episode one
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: hot fucking mess because the opening is so jarring, and
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: we open in the middle of a crossover episode. And
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: if you didn't know, you don't know there's no previously
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: on because I understand why that doesn't exist on Perrock
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: on Peacock. Yeah, I wonder if upon original airing of
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Summer House they did it previously on and showed that
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: vander Pump Rules. But my advice to anybody watching this
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: would be pull that vander Pump Rules episode. We'll leave
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the episode number in the show notes and watch that first. Otherwise,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: know that the first ten minutes you're gonna be like,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: what is happening? And then ten minutes in we jump into.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: What is actually the pilot episode of the season exactly now,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: if I recall correctly, Because I am a huge vander
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Pump fan and talk about watching things twice, I've probably
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: watched that twenty times. I remember the work is Twins
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: coming to La They had lunch with Sassy and then
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: that's when they pitch like Hey, you should come out
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: to the Hamptons for the summer whatever, right, or come
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: for a visit or a weekend or whatever. And then
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the next thing we have is Sassy is there with
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Kristin Doty and Sheena and Katie Maloney, and there's a
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: little bit of in this vander Pump episode they're not
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: all getting the long Shocker, and then they go to
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: that's the house. So I think that's how that worked,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: if my memory surps me.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're trying to get the crossover viewers.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Same thing they did with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: and vander Pump Rules. Like that led in, Like I
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: don't even think there was a commercial break. It led
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: from one show.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Interesting, now, Beverly Hills Housewives. I know it's not it's
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: called Real house of Beverly Hills. Came before vander Pump Rules. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: so that Beverly Hills franchise has been around for a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: long time. Then.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think my daughter was a baby and
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: she's she's seventy seventeen.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so these are very cannibalistic shows. Well, let's
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: talk who we're watching this week.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, I have lots to talk about.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Okay for me right up top, Kyle is obviously the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: main character. He's got a lot going on.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: You should know listeners that I have seen seasons eight
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and nine of Summer House.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: You guys, I can't believe she watches this stuff out
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: of order with no context.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Because what happened is recently my husband and I started
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: watching season nine, and then because we were watching season nine,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: we finished out. We're like, well, we gotta go back
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and watch season eight. I mean, I have contacts. I've
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: seen bits and pieces, but I think it's so funny
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: knowing present day Kyle and season one Kyle over and
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: over again. There are so many moments where I was like, man,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I bet Kyle wishes he could erase this because he
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: says so many things that don't age well in terms
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: of who he is now.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Well, what about I mean, if you're so floored by
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: his evolution, what about Carl's evolution?
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I've got Carl is my second thought, but let's my
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: thoughts on Kyle. Look, he's hooking up with his ex girlfriend,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: he's got hot takes on how things should go in
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the house. I find it hilarious that he hates the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: inter house relationship and hookups, given that his relationship will
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: become a main source of drama over many, many seasons
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: to come. It's clear he does the voiceover he talks
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: about being the one to arrange the Summer House. Kyle
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: is the nucleus around which Summer House Season one revolves.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I call him my one man show of frat boy chaos.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I love Kyle. I Am not going to even apologize
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: for it. Like, dude understands the assignment here. Yeah, he
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: knows how to make good reality TV. And just like
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: where we had Stossy kind of like bridge the gap
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: between vander Pump and Summer House. Like Stassy understood the
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: assignment in the first episode, like she needed to like
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: rile things up and like create tension between she and
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Kyle and whatever, and then goes away, right, and then
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Kyle just takes the torch and goes with it.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So obviously to your point, the second person I'm
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: watching is carl and I wrote Carlo's King fuck boy.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I found the scene at the end of the episode
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: where he joins the ladies at the brunch spot and
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: steals their French toast. So Cringey really really. I here's
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the thing you should know that I'm forty five years old.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I was never fun, I was never cool. I have
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: been a forty five year old woman since I was
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: twenty one years old. And so the Sunday brunch spot
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: hookup after the weekend dude joins your table was never
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: my vibe.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: So I think it would have made me so uncomfortable
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: if I was there. I personally think Carl makes a
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: strong first impression in this episode. Hear me out.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I think he's like equal.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Part charming and also walking red flag. So I hear
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: you like it's hard. As someone like me who has
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: watched his story unfold over nine years or ten years,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: whatever it is, I have a little bit of a
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: soft heart for him in those early seasons because you
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: know what's coming for.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Him as he's just.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: A hot mess. He's one of the baby he's a
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: hot mess.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I think he just slides in with like enough confidence
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: that that like sparks interest.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I could see that.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I love Carl. I think he's magnetic.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite quote or scene from this episode?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I have a couple.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: First of all, Ashley talking about Lindsay quote she goes
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: in hard, and this is perfectly like a perfectly delivered
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: morning shot that doubles as foreshadowing for Lindsay's entire relationship,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the entire series. Yes, like I know from our off
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Mike discussions, you don't really like Lindsay.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's accurate. I don't dislike Lindsay, but
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I what I have seen now, I've seen several episodes
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: of this season, and I had like a little bit
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: of a moment where I started to understand Lindsay further in.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: But what I have seen from Lindsay is every relationship
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: she's in, she wants to be all in. She wants
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: to be all but there's always drama. I've never seen.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I've seen a few, as mentioned. I've seen season eight,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I've seen season nine. I've actually seen season two, and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: season two is kind of like the after effects, like
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I saw that several years ago of this relationship with Everett.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: It just seems like relationship drama follows her everywhere. She
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: just seems to thrive in a high relationship drama environment.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I do find her super compelling, super compelling. I enjoy
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: watching her, but I would be surprised it would be
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: a welcome surprise to see her in a relationship that's
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: fairly drama neutral.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear what you're saying. I just want to
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: preface I love Lindsay. Like I love Lindsay. I think
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Lindsay Hubbard is TV gold. But also watching this back
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: and over so many seasons, like this is a true
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: masterclass in a psychoanalysis of like why this person acted
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: this way ten years ago, and to see how they
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: are are now, like it all makes sense. So I'm hoping,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: like when you see the entire canon of episodes, you'll understand,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: like maybe the motivations behind why these people do things.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's true. And I also think your
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: point about Kyle being reality TV gold, I think she
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: also understands the assignment. We're nine seasons in and she
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: is still a main character on the show, and so
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I think there's something to be said for showing up
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to do the job. And it's not interesting if she
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and Everett are She's got a manufactured drama somehow, and
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: so you have to look at it as job security.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I agree, absolutely agree. A quote I loved Carl Is
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: talking about at the end of this episode, he hooks
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: up with Lauren, and he's talking about how it's like
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: a no brainer to hook up with his hot roommate
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: who obviously likes him. He just goes and it just
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: made me laugh out loud. I just thought, I just
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I loved that moment. Carl. Look, Carl is who he is,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and in his confessionals in this season, it is absolutely
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: clear that he knows what he wants. It's also absolutely
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: clear that he and Lauren are from episode one on
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: a collision course with disaster one hundred percent. But I
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: just I was like, yeah, Carl is not pretending to
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: be someone he is not.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Right speaking of somebody who wants to pretend that he
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: is something he's not. Kyle says, I don't want to
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: romance into my forties. Kyle is now in his forties
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: and like, you know, really into going out still. I mean,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: he's kind of pulled it back a little bit in
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: the current season, but it took several seasons for him
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: to dial it back and in the like going out
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: and hanging out with my bros And.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Being but he's still even in season nine, has not
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: fully dialed it back. Like that is still a point
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: of contention and.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: His wife, Oh what I agree this season, in particular
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: the one that is currently airing right now, like I
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: feel like he is a more subdue Kyle Cook.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: My other one that I.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Really loved from Carl is this was he he says,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: unlike those la chicks, we have real jobs. And I
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: think this line is so savage and instantly memorable. But
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: what I liked about it is that it did ground
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: the episode and showing that like these Summer's sharehouse people
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: have real jobs during the week and like intense jobs
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: during the week, and then the weekend is like for
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: them to like really let loose. And I like that
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: we had gotten some montage of them in the city.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the stage montage in the city makes me laugh,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: But what I think is really funny is like the
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: fact that they have real jobs will come to an
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: end real quick a few seasons absolutely.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Just like the servers at Serves Yes, We're not serving Yes.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: My final favorite quote and scene is Kyle as soon
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: as he sees Carl and Lauren hooking up, It's like, well,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: happen to my wing man? Because Carl had big plans
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: to be Kyle's wing down for the summer and Carlton
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: garl what.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: I think is funny is we will see that happen
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: again way down the road, not with these two, but
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: with other future Summer House I think you know who
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: I'm referring to, Jesse Solomon and oh yeah.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Let's take a quick break
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna come right back to talk what we
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: liked about this episode. Hey cook, question, are you secretly
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: a fan of Hallmark movies? You know, the small town charm,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the twinkly lights, the same three actors falling in love
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: over and over again. Yeah, we see you, and we've
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: got the perfect podcast for you. It's called Girls Gone Hallmark.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: It's hosted by us Megan and Wendy, and it's where
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: we recap and review all the new Hallmark movies and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: series and even some throwback fan favorites with zero shame
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: and lots of opinions. Whether you're a diehard fan or
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: just here for the cozy vibes, we've got you covered.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: So after this episode, come hang out with us on
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Girls Gone Hallmark. We promise it's way more fun than
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: pretending you don't love a good Christmas. In July, Hey, Wendy,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: what did you like about this episode?
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Well, I had a hard time coming up with what
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I liked about episode one because one, the beginning is
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: so disjointed. Yeah, and to like a pilot episode of
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: a scripted show, there are so many characters and characters
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: I'm you know, cast members, you know, and a lot
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: of storylines that need to be established. So it's a lot.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: And I have told people many many times over the
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: years to entirely skip season one, yes.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Including me.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: That's why I've seen season two before.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Because I don't. I think season one and season two
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: are so different from each other, and the cast changes
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: over a little bit and all of that stuff. So
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I don't love episode one, huh. Like I'm not gonna
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: come here and be like I'm a huge Summer House fan.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: But season two and on. Yeah, So here are the
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: things that I liked about this episode one. I mentioned
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: it earlier. I do like how they set up their
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: weekday versus their weekend lives. I enjoy seeing the cast
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: return to their real jobs in the city and then
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: blowing off steam on the weekends. I liked that structure
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: a lot.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: We have lost that in future seasons.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: It's a lot in this season, Like I think they
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: were leaning really hard into you know, we're professionals, we
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: war cards, so we can play hard. Yeah, exactly, exactly.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: The second thing I really liked I enjoyed Lauren and
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Carl's chemistry. I thought it was teed up perfectly. Lots
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: of flirty, lots of on camera kisses the whole end,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: like the cliffhanger of them in the bedroom together getting
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: ready to hook up, Like perfect cliffhanger for an episode
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: that makes you want to watch the next one.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, Braben knows what it's doing. Sure.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: And finally, the thing I really really loved is back
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: to Kyle's confessions. I think he's like MVP of Talking Heads.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I love his jokes.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: He's funny but also self aware that I find him
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: super likable.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I like Kyle too. We haven't talked a lot about
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the ladies of the show, but I really enjoyed the
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: work as twins. I find it really funny when we
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: see the alternating confessions between Lauren and Carl, and basically
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Lauren's like, well, I'm all in, and Carl's like, yeah,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Lauren's cool, but I don't really want to be tied
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: down to an intern house relationship. They're practically screaming foreshadowing
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: To me, I like Ashley trying to be the voice
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: of reason, like she sees straight through Carl and she
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: knows who her sister is and she's like put the
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: brakes on girl. And Lauren in later episodes is like
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Ashley's been an old Mary lady forever, like she doesn't
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: understand what it's like to be out here dating, which
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: perhaps is true, like she has a different perspective. But also,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I mean Lauren like does dive headfirst into this showmance
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: interhouse romance. And I don't know if this is a
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: hot take or not, but I I love the workst Twins.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I find them really interesting to watch on camera. However,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I did look up Lauren's Instagram and she very recently
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: posted from a tour of the West Wing, and if
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: it's not giving super maga vibes, I don't know what
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I was disappointing.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: I hate no mean details.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Finally, while we're talking about the Workst Wins, have I
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: asked you this? Have you seen the TikTok trend where
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: it's like I'm so hungry I could eat it, and
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: then like you name someone, of course, have I told
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: you the work is Twin related. When Jesse Solomon was
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: with Carl recently in a TikTok and he was like,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I'm so hungry I could eat a work as twin
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: and Carl's face was like, h It was funny in
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: that moment because like, it's such a deep cut. But
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: it's also funny because I suspect Carl's maybe not super
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: up with like every TikTok trend, like the trend you yeah,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: seem to understand what was haph like totally through him, So.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: He was like the high school history. He sure that
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: the kids pull this one on. He's like, what are
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: you talking about? Yeah, poor Carl. Poor, I'm telling you
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Carl goes from like hot foy to like dad energy
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: so hard.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Wow, did you have any wishes for this episode?
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I got a whole bunch. Oh well, let me
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: hear him less of the Kyle Stascy hot tub disaster
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: look even on a rewatch. I'm like super embarrassed, like
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: for both of them in this moment. Yeah, like I
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: can't figure out No, actually, I feel like Kyle is
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: being Kyle. Kyle is super drunk and just so douchey
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: in this moment, right, Ye, and I feel like Stascy's
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: there to do the job. But it feels manufactured, and
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: it just makes me so uncomfortable to watch.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: They're like, be annoyed with Kyle. This is the assignment.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Kyle's drunk, be annoyed.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And what I don't like about it is because
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: I once was a huge, big time I'm Stossy fan,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: and I have seen her be like so sharp with
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: her tongue that she'll just give a lashing. And this
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: felt almost weak, a little bit weak, like she was
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: offended that he wasn't into her, which no, but he
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: kind of was into her, but then insulting her, Yeah
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like she like she was
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: feeling hurt that he wasn't complimenting her in a way
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: that she wanted to. It just it felt was super manufactured.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: It just made me uncomfortable to watch that. So I'm
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: like skipped the first ten minutes of the show. Yeah,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: for sure, genuinely like pick up after the first commercial,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: hundred percent two more things that I wished for. I
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: need less four am moaning from Amanda Loo. I'm no prude,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: but the sex sounds it's a lot.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: It was a lot. I was like, oh my god,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I know she's twenty four, I think in this episode
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: and doesn't have the like, oh shit, my day digital footprint.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I feel like she's like, doesn't think like this show
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: is still going to be on nine seasons from now,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to be one of the main characters,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and now I'm having to look back on me in
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: all of my booty calls.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not shaming her by any means.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not either, but I don't want the moaning. I
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: do feel like this season was, from what I've seen,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: heavy on the like pull the covers over our head,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: watch the covers, move motions, early Big Brother Day totally,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and that's I don't need it.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Right. We can read between the lines, but maybe some
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: like younger.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Generations who watches a show? Do you want the moaning?
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Email us Last Oftheparty pod at gmail dot com.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Here's the last thing I wished for. And we haven't
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: even brought this person up yet. Is Christina?
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, but I didn't realize she's not an actual
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: house guest. Like in episode four, they're like, she's she's
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: a guest.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: I think she is like a recurring a guest that
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: would come out every weekend, but she's not on the lease.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I guess that's what it seems like because like in
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: a future episode, they're like, yeah, Christina's got to do
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the blow up mattress because she's the guest this weekend.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: It was weird, right, But in.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Terms of Christina, I need way less complaining from Christina.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I need her to do something more than stirring up drama.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: What is noteworthy to meet in this particular episode is
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: a conversation she has between herself and Lindsay about being
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: mutually bad friends to each other. And this, like I
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: said earlier when I mentioned Jesse Solomon and West Losing Wingman,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: this conversation about them being like, well you're a bad friend. No,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: you're a bad friend. We see this come up again
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: with Lindsay and someone else. So it makes me pause
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: and wonder.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Like, is Lindsay kind of a bad friend?
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Like when she gets wrapped up in her relationships, do
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: her friendships go to the wayside?
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: I wonder, well, when Christina is calling her on a
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: bad friend, Lindsay does not receive that information. She's like, Okay,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: that's fine, but and like she moves on to her
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: complaints about Christina. There at no point does Lindsay stop
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: to be introspective and think like have I been a
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: bad friend? Not in their conversation, and neither in season eighty. Look,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I just have one real wish and it's we learn
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: basically nothing about Stephen in this episode, and we get
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: more of him in the next episode. So he's getting
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: his moment, and I think his role increases throughout this season.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: But but are you kind of glad though?
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Because there's so much like there's this person and what
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: their backstory is in this person and what their backstory.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: I know they got to feed it to us slowly,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: but also I was like, who's Steven? What's he doing?
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Like I don't know anything about him? It's time for
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: digit see that. Why don't you explain what digit see
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: that is? Did you? That was originally born out of
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: our other podcast, Girls Gone Hallmark, where we would call
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: out continuity errors or weird little editing takes, And it's
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: a little bit different here, right, this is going to
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: be like just maybe moments that made you laugh, things
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: you might have caught because it's one of our favorite
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: segments over on Girls Gone Hallmark. So not every episode
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: is going to happen. Did you see that moment? Necessarily?
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: But I got a couple let me hear. It's actually
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: one big did you see that? And that is that
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I mentioned it before. But I have to wonder if
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Kyle hates that this season exists, because many of his
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: comments kind of age badly if you look back. They're
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: talking about their summer goals, and Kyle says that his
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: goal is to grow up because staying out until four
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: am isn't as cute as it once was. Cut to
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: season nine, he and his wife are finding about the
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: fact that he still stays out until four am.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: First of all, can we talk about staying out until
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: four am?
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, we need to talk about the fact
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: that the hardest part of the show for me is
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: that I feel so tired for them.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't want to explicitly call it out,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: but there is no way a human is functioning until
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: four am with the amount of alcohol they drink without
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: some sort of other stimulant, an upper.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Something, yeah, regularly, right, It's not like one drunken four
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: am night every freaking weekend.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Now two nights at a minimum alone, Like I mean,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: like back to back.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I really wonder because, look, I'm old. As mentioned,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I was never fun, but the idea of driving three
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: to four hours each way for a weekend, every single
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: weekend exhausts me. And so I don't know how they
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: do it. Especially in this season, we see that oftentimes
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: they drive back on Monday mornings and then go to work.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I'll wake up before am and we can go come on.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I was like, absolutely not, and so I don't I
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: admit that I don't understand that lifestyle, but I don't
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: know how he's still doing it this many years, like
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: at his age, and I'm some kind. It's hilarious that
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: he's so annoyed with Lindsay and Everett being in the
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: house as a couple. He was like, summer houses were
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: not meant for couples. Again, cut to the next eight seasons,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: he is a couple in the house. Yeah, there's always
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: couples in the house.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I wonder what their share houses look like.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Before they actually started filming this show, was it truly
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: just all singles and they wanted to be out there
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: in the Hampton's or a montalk and they were just
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: like hooking up.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I mean it seems like a hug up is the
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: name of the game. Sure, yeah, where there are never couples.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Come on, I mean I don't know.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess I'll never know. Here are my two
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: digit See that one is Sassy's self. Tam was hard
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: to ignore. I thought it was terrible.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Didn't notice not at all.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Like when she's in the jacuzzi and and she's got
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: like her arms up and like underneath her arms are
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: just completely white compared to everywhere else on her body.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Attention. These are things that drive me crazy.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: The other thing you will soon see the editing on
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: this show is it's perfection.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: It should be Imman nominated. There are some savage moments coming.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: There is at one point it is the quickest scene
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: and you would have missed it, but Carl's looking like
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: in a mirror, very close, and he takes a hair
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: brush and like puts it on his teeth.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what is he doing?
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: What is he doing with the bristles of your hairbrush? Carl, Carl, Carl, Carl,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Do you.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Have any time caps a moment? Okay, let's gip it
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: all right, what was your low key iconic moment of
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: the week.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: This goes back to the editing. But the best accidental
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: legacy shot ever to be captured is Kyle Solo snacking
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: on chips. This is truly the beginning of a ten
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: season arc. You will see him in every just little
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: quick transition shot, eating them alone in the kitchen, every
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: drunken night, and it is it is my Roman Empire.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: How does the man still have six pack abs with
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: that late night snacking?
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Don't know, do not?
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: I think he deprives himself of carbohydrates outside of like
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: those moments and snacks.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my low key iconic moment is as mentioned earlier.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I know you thought, you know, Stossy wasn't quite savage enough,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: but I did love her looking at Kyle and being like,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: is this one's out there? Like straight to his face?
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed. Is this what I have to look
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: forward to as a single woman.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: I think you would enjoy the early days of vander
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Pumper Rules, considering how much I want to like he's
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: one of vander Pump Rules. She has only seen season
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: one and and.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: The Scandalball season, Oh my gosh, because I like to
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: know what people are talking about, which Stossy.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Wasn't even involved like she wasn't even a part of
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: a cast at that point. So maybe there is room
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: on the schedule somewhere that we've some somehow sometime tackle
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: vander Pumper roles.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Let us know if you want a vander Pump rules
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: rewatch next. All right, what's your messiest moment of the week?
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Kyle insisting he is not a player right before bringing
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Amanda home. Sir, you're not fooling anyone, even yourself.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Kyle is the messiest one of the week. I through
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the seasons that I have seen of Summer House, another
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: consistent thing is Kyle doesn't drink. He gets drunk, like
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: there is no in between. Kyle is if he's drinking,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: he is drunk. He's drunk with Stassy, he's drunk when
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: he calls Amanda. It's a tie for me between Kyle
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: like absolutely making an ass out of himself and the
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: takuzi with Stassy and calling up his ex girlfriend Amanda, which,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: for anybody with the crystal ball, you know where that
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: said is. We'll be back next week with our thoughts
• 29:27
