House of Stassi Ep 1 Recap · Wicked Messy

• Hali: What's up? What's up? No, no, no. Hey guys, we are back and we're finally in person. Yay! After a short hiatus of me being a Narragansett Yep. got a little jump scare at myself. yeah, she's going on and on that she looked terrible in the last video, which I highly highly disagree with. I think she looked great. We know what we saw. But yeah you can't see my top. Kind of a little. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. But either way, the natural light guys, just stay away from that. I'm gonna warn you now. Don't be a part of that. We got all artificial light. We're lit up. We're actually in a little like night mode here. Yeah, I think I look great when it's dark. Yeah. Okay. Might as well shut them off. Oh my, that's let's see. I would like To just talk about two quick things before we actually start. it's gonna be a doozy of a freaking episode because we're covering, as you know from our announcement, House of Stassi. Yep. Very excited to jump in, but first a detour. Yeah. Okay. And I'm unaware of the detour, so let's go. Yeah. Yeah. so I actually texted Hali earlier and said, Oh my gosh, crazy news, I can't find my lover boy sweatshirt. I found it. I found it. good. So just so everyone knows, last time we spoke, Hali was under the impression that I requested a small and she ordered a small. However, it was identified that I requested a medium and she ordered a medium. good. So I did order a medium. I thought you said that's what you did. so is that. You never responded. It is a small? But that doesn't mean that's what you ordered. They could have messed it up. Yeah, I don't know. well, that ruins the whole thing. Well, you never confirmed but that the tag was a small. Did I fuck it up? Well, I don't know. I'd like to know. I would like to know too. I don't even know if I'll be able to find it, but keep going. well, I can't keep going because if it if they didn't mess up my order, there's nothing to report. I guess the point of that is I did request a medium. Look up Loverboy on your email. Amazon is like really I mean Amazon. your email? Yeah, fucking Yahoo's a bitch. Alright, you don't need to do it now. Yeah. We we can follow up with the people next time, but I'm pretty sure they sent me the wrong size. And I don't know if I have any teeny tiny friends that watch Summer House. But it's still technically fits. It's just a little tight. All right. All right, yeah, I can't find it. Yeah, we'll find out and maybe you can put a little asterisk on the episode. Yeah. For those that watch. But I just searched everything, so I don't know if I'll find it. But we'll see. So the second order of business is many of you must have seen as discussed last time Jax Taylor as everybody knows dating BRITTANY Cartwright's ex now ex-publicist so he me and Hali were cracking up because there is a new clip of him running into someone from running into someone from TMZ. Wait Brittany first met with People for an interview And talked about her side of how she's upset and how she feels so betrayed by Lori, because that's key. Cause he's responding to that in his video. that's specifically what he's responding to. Yes. And her posts. And it makes sense because on I wanna say Scheana or Lala's podcast, everyone was like, Why won't you guys talk about it? Why won't she talk about it? And she said that Lala said her time is coming. She'll speak when she's ready. And now I know be it's probably legally she's not allowed to say anything until that. People magazine. Yeah. So, but the interview when Jax was okay, he was literally smiling ear to ear, saying, I've never been happier ever. Yeah. And he was like giddy. And I wasn't it giving this is crazy. Do you remember Tom Cruise in like 2005 when he was jumping on couches and being like, I'm in love? Yep. Now I have a question mental health moment. Yeah. I think we can both agree that he's a an actual narcissist, right? Yes, hundred percent. Can narcissists fall in love or believe that they're in love? Of course, because they want the attention of it. So I think Jax knows that this relationship is going to put him in the public's eye. And he made the most narcissistic statement in that video. He said, ha ha. I was waiting to see when you guys would come track me down. Like he's wait, but do you think I'm not Yes. Yes. You think that he thinks he thinks that he's in love? I know it's not pure, real love, but do they think? Yes. Because the only time I've ever seen But i there's ulterior motives, so is it truly no. But I just want to know if we think that he in any part of his brain believes that. Because I don't he never clearly ever thought he was in love with BRITTANY. Like that was that marriage. He admitted, like, I jumped the gun on. The engagement, the marriage, because I knew it would give me airtime. Like he said it on the season after. But I think in the beginning he really had strong feelings in that honeymoon with her and the at Hooters and how good she looked and everything. It was a shiny new toy. But he has a million shiny new toys. I mean, it was only two months after she moved to LA and he was saying you need to go to the gym, blah, blah, blah. It's like that honeymoon phase. Whatever. Anyways, he's a loser, but I just wanted to bring that up because that was an insane interview on his part. Yeah, and the fact that he was referring to what BRITTANY was interviewed about and what she said in that interview or her posts, he was making it sound like Brittany is upset that he's in the relationship with her when it was I'm upset with Lori because she knows what I went through and she was there for me through this whole thing, saw every text, heard every insult and profanity that he said to me. And Jax computed that in his narcissistic brain as she's so not over me and she's so upset because I'm dating Lori. Got nothing to do with you. He doesn't even get the betrayal. my gosh, do you think this is a ploy because they saw what happened with Summer House? I don't know. Part ploy? Well I don't think Jax screwing her maybe it is in Jax head. Yeah. Well I'm whatever. And Lori's just Yeah. All I'm saying is I have Yeah, I haven't seen him that giddy, literally, since he was dating Stassi. Yeah, he's fine. So I just I don't know. But that is a good segue. Yep. So episode one of House of Stassi, Ghosts of Past, Present, and Future is the name of the episode. Okay. Genius. Yep. So Which was also the name of chapter three in this episode, I noticed. Yeah. And I like Because that was a Halloween party. And I like Uh Huh, that's they must have pulled it from that. Yeah, I wonder. I gotta look to see if that's what they do. Like just pick one that they feel is like all encompassing. Yeah, which would be smart. Yeah. but I am very happy that she's having her reality TV comeback. Yep. She's back. She's the queen of everything reality. She's very much so a blueprint. Yeah. not the original, but no. She's pretty close. Yeah. She kinda like made her own blueprint, I feel like. And she has been cancelled for many moons. So this is a big thing for her. Yeah. So that's what I was looking at. I feel like I wrote it down somewhere. It's definitely in here later, maybe, but she's been cancelled. since twenty twenty. Yeah. So six years she's been cancelled. Which like I mean, I feel like that's that's a tough term to use because she was she had her podcast that's well established right now, so that's within the six years. Like I feel like she didn't lose everyone. No, she she just lost those deals that she had with Bravo. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because you gotta rebuild yourself. Yeah. Absolutely. She looks better than ever. She does. I love her whole setup with the commentary. and the was that an alligator brown top she was wearing? I was like I am obsessed with that. I don't know what it was, but it was fire. oh my god. I absolutely loved it. I know. And then she had like it almost looked like men's dress pants on too and like flats. And that's the thing about Stassi It's she's very, dare I say, Paige coded in terms of like they are fashion girlies. Yes. And they're literally like well, they're detail oriented. Yes. They know how to do it very well. Yeah. And she mentioned the fog machine that she had going on in the background. I'm like, Oh my God, this is so funny. Good for you, girl. so speaking of the aesthetics of the show. Yeah. So the confessional, her home. yeah, confessional. That's what I should have called in the commentary. Yeah. It was very curated. Yep. So it was and including like the chapters and stuff. Yes. Like I thought that was very clever and went with the overall theme, which I would bet a million dollars was no one's idea but Stassi. Hundred percent. it it's it's like the charm of Paris and the fun of LA. Yeah. All mixed together. That's a good way to put it. but also, and I do want to mention that it also she loves downtown Abbey. Yeah. Okay. She's obsessed. Yeah, she loves period. Yeah. Period pieces. Pieces, yeah. now I remember that Back in the day when Tom Arianna, Tom and Katie, Jax and Brittany, they all bought houses close to each other, the farm style houses. Yes. Stassi had not purchased a house yet. And I remember her like dogging them, essentially saying, I would never be caught dead buying a house in a neighborhood like that. That looks like every house on the block. Yes. cooking cutter And I agree. She's no run of the mill girl. I can't see her having a house like that. No. No. And with the cancellation thing, we can't cancel every monster that's on a the reality TV show because we won't have anyone left. Well, I didn't realize that she got canceled when she was nine months pregnant. Like she literally got canceled and then had to go through giving birth. Like that's insane. That's so messed up. Like I understand what they found and how it was so messed up, but like she's about to push out a baby. I don't yeah, I don't know. It's what she did was crazy and I don't think she would be sitting here today unless she had gone through all of that. Yeah. Cause it helped her grow. I mean, it has to be something really like that. I feel like she says that she's like a totally different person, and then she does kind of catch herself and she's like, Well, I'm I'm a little bit different. Cause it's like as you go through this season, you're like, you're still in there. The dark passenger. I definitely had hopes that she had genuinely changed and that she would feed us the Dark Passenger in a very produced way. Yeah. and I think of course she has grown. Yeah. She has kids, yeah. But I was I'm shocked at how much that still peaks out. And I'm wondering it's in my notes somewhere, it has to be really heavy on her trying to produce the show. Because she knows, I think that Stassi is very aware of the fact that reality TV doesn't work unless you're sharing your actual reality. Right. Faking a fight and actually fighting with your husband. Yeah. Actually fighting with your husband, we can tell the difference. Yeah. And I could tell the difference. yeah. Absolutely. So she says, How do we get here? Yeah. So essentially she's saying that Hulu or Disney gave her another shot after she quote unquote demanded her own show. Yep. Her words not mine But they only agreed to do some test footage on the heels of Vanderpump Villa. So she had yes, she had spun the idea to them and for years and they were like, we don't care. Yeah. And then finally they were like, let's test it on Vanderpump Villa, see the synergy, and then we'll decide. Yeah. First season on Vanderpump Villa, which was season two of that show, that she was so she was started on season two. Yeah. And there was just clear, you know, things going on with her and Beau And then the whole current cast whole current cast ended up joining, I think, season three or season two, whatever the I think Italy season was. Yeah. That was that's when Georgia came into play because she was Italian. Yeah. And it was crazy wild. But I'm referring to test footage as in like they said, we're gonna do test footage for your house of Stassi before we decide if you actually get this deal. Right, but so I was gonna say this later, but Taylor Strecker said on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast that how it happened, they did they got the green light for the show, but That doesn't mean anything. That's just giving them an opportunity to record. We're open to it. Let's see. There are, she said, two sizzlers that were just there to test the energy. Okay. Which never was ever aired. Gotcha. Then a pilot. Yeah. So Disney's looking at this and they're like, This is this is good, but can it make a show? Yeah. So then she she said, and we all are agreed that. Vanderpump Villa was our final test. Like, can they handle it? And will viewers react at all to them? Gotcha. So anyways. Yeah, that makes sense. and they brought it. you it's worth watching at least that season that she gets on. Actually, I highly recommend not watching the seasons that she's not on because they were trash. Yeah. I feel like that's why I never watched it. Well, the first one was so bad, I guarantee you tried to watch it maybe once on and had to stop it. Yeah, absolutely. But yeah, so she talks about like, we had to do some test footage and then she makes comments about her marriage and I really I was like, why are you saying this? She kept saying, like me and Beau are fifty fifty on everything, and then production kind of calls her out and says behind the camera, So you cook, you clean the dishes, you pick the kids up, you do this. She's like, No, no, no, no. And I'm like, Beau fifty fifty in what? 'Cause she makes it very clear every chance that she gets that she is the bread winner. I know. And we'll we'll get into it. Yeah, we'll get into it. So let's because it's episode one, season one, let's do ourselves and the listeners a quick favor and we're just gonna go down who we met. Yes. Let's just talk about it. Great idea. That's funny because I did intros for everyone. Yeah. okay. Absolutely. Well, I'll let you kind of talk through this. oh! okay! If you want to or I can. Well, the first one is Georgi, her sister, who I was not aware of, as I talked about in the last podcast. And that's all I have on her. so she so she has like I would say several storylines for the show. She's homeless, she's screwing Rob. We'll get into all that. Is she screwing Rob? Yeah, yeah, is she big question mark? I think we all know the answer. Yeah. so she is literally a whack job, but we'll get to her later. We'll get to her. Yep. We have Beau. We have Beau. Who's stay at home husband? Yeah who looks disheveled. So I wrote that too. He looks like he aged so much since he met Stassi because they did flashbacks of him working and doing the casting stuff. And I was like, my god, you look like you were 20 years younger. Let's keep in mind that when they met, he was 40. So he's like almost 50. Yeah. But he looks crazy. Although, not to skip through the season, it wasn't episode one. One of the episodes, he clearly got glam. Yeah. His hair looked He's just but just like how many beautiful mums do you know that when you like see them after you know a year or two, even less, and you're like, you look like crap. Yeah, it's not because you're ugly, but you're literally haven't showered in days. You're weathered from just the storm of life. Yeah. Yes, exactly. Yeah. Literally. Katie. Yep, Katie Maloney. Katie Maloney and her boyfriend Nick, who is in sleeping with sirens. Am I saying that right? Is that the band? Yes, that is the band. And I didn't realize or make that connection. my god, but he's so short. And she's kind of tall. She doesn't seem to care. I know. They seem really happy. Yeah, but like, yeah, I think she's protective. She's wicked into that kind of music. Yeah. I think they met during the rocker emo night that she threw, which was a thing. That makes sense. Okay. Yeah. So we have them two. Then we have Taylor Strecker, which is really funny because I've heard her mentioned so many times on Giggly Squad and never knew who she was. Yep. never followed up on it. And here she is. And then her wife Teddy, who's absolutely gorgeous. I absolutely love her. She's like the complete opposite of Taylor. She's so chill. So you know that Teddy, they had to just do that for the show. They're both named Taylor. Funny you say that because I kept hearing that on the show that they'd be that Stassi would be she my sister's living with the Taylors. And I'm like, why does she call her Taylor if her name's Teddy? So Taylor Strecker, also on Not Skinny, Not Fat podcast, she was asked, Teddy? Like, I've never heard that. that's what Amanda from the podcast said. Yeah. And so the podcast host said, Do you actually call her that? Because I know you and I've never heard you say that. Yeah. And pretty much in a nutshell, Taylor Strecker said no, like I've called her that affectionately. Yeah. But it is just confusing for the show. Like we like sometimes we do Tay and Taylor. Yeah. But they did kind of push us in that direction because they thought it'd be too confusing for the audience. That makes sense. Okay. Wow. I love her though. I love that too. I love her. And she's like gorgeous pregnant. So she's just gorgeous, period. Yeah. Did did you know that Taylor Strecker? I don't know if they said this on the show, but she was married to a man. Yes, for ten years. And then got divorced, and then she was like, I think I'm a lesbian. So what I wanna know is it how many women feel that way? Yeah, I do want to know that too. I one of my old friends from college, yeah, her mom came out when she was like 50 and had been married for over 30 years and genuinely said, like, I did not know. It wasn't until I met the right friends. Exactly. Exactly. That would you actually know. Yeah. If you start to feel those feels when you meet the right one, it's like, oh whoa, where was that? But what I want I'm curious about is because she was very she was married for ten years to a man. Yeah. She is pretty open right now about how she doesn't want to she didn't want to be the one to carry the kid. Yes. So I wonder if when she was married she ever had those intentions. Good question. It is. I'd love to know. So if you're listening, Taylor. Which makes sense if she was a lesbian the whole time because then she really wouldn't be too into sex and she'd be like, I don't really want to be locked in because I'm like feeling some sort of feeling that I don't know what it is and maybe it was the lesbian side of her being like, No. Maybe. I don't I mean, some people just simply don't want to carry. Yeah. Specifically. Yeah, true. I don't know. It could be a mix of things, but moving on. Okay. We have Kristina Kelly who I Wicked, annoying, but I'd say she's one of the most grounded castmates. Yeah. Like most normie. Yeah, she seems sh I'm I just remember her being so boring on Vanderpump and I was like, the get this girl off my screen. She's boring. And she's not gonna give much. In fact, I think that Hulu's probably said something along the lines of I'm making this up. Yeah, you can have Kristina on the show, but you Katie has to be on the show. Yeah. Like Kristina is just not a strong enough friend. Taylor Strekker, I really like her, but she is known for kind of kissing Stassi's ass. Yeah. But I didn't realize because they mentioned they've been friends for 10 years. That's wild. I knew that. So back in the day when she started Stassi started her podcast. Yeah. Taylor was helping her because Taylor was an actual radio host. Like twenty years ago when there was only that. I can see that. So when Stassi started her podcast, she said to Taylor, Pretty much, You're the blueprint. I need you, please help me. Yeah. Stassi was one of the first podcasters to say, I'm going on tour and doing my podcast. Taylor went with her on tour. Gotcha, gotcha. And that's how they have this like working relationship. And then it's yeah. Okay. All right, that makes sense. Okay. Last one. Rob No, we have two more. Are you gonna bring up her mom? Is that the other one? Nope. Okay. Rob. Rob, yep. who is his whole shtick is forever bachelor, but he wants to find love now. He's cute. I wrote cute comma man child question mark. Yeah, definitely I'd say hot. Like I was like and then he opened his mouth. I think it's that's what it was, I think because I it was my third watch that I was like, you're not hot to me anymore. But yeah. And then Georgia. Georgia. Yes. Yeah. How crazy that their names are so I know. So we have two Taylors and then we have Georgi and Georgia. Yeah. Crazy. Crazy. But that's Stassi's world. I'm like not. Really quick. I was listening to a podcast. I can't believe I'm taking us on detour again. You know you remember good old Georgina from In the City? Yes. Her brother's name is George. And then she has a sister named Christine and the brother is named Chris. oh my god. People gotta like step outside the box here. Like Jesus. All right, who's this other cast member I missed? That's Georgia. I already said it. oh Yep. And then obviously Hartford and Messer, which are limited on screen, which is good because I don't like that too much. Although Hartford's gonna be a star. Yeah. So she doesn't care. So I think Stassi does the perfect balance. Yes. Yes, absolutely. I'll give it that. But so this starts off by I think this was the test footage that they start showing with the cookout. Yes. Correct. and was at the at the Taylor's house. Cause Stassi must have left. Right. It must have been. Yeah. So this starts off with there was an issue in Italy. Tattoo Gate. Yeah. It's worth watching, I'm telling you. That was wild seeing that flashback of Vanderpump Villa when Stassi and I wrote down the quote "I can make you feel unsafe" to Beau. I'm like, that's like crazy. Emotional abuse here, like over a tattoo, and like you're losing it for no reason. Losing it. Although I would like it is it's weird that your long lost sister comes in the picture. And you guys are literally obsessed and get a tattoo. It was it's I and I know it's harmless. I'm not accusing either of them of anything gross, but it's weird. but think about it. he said when she was 21 they connected, right? And he's now almost 50. So that's almost 30 years. When did the tattoo happen? Was that during Vanderpump Villa that they got that tattoo or was that already there? It was already there, but okay so recent, recent to that. So Okay. It was pretty much they reconnected, got wicked close. It kind of it's i don't think that's weird. I don't It's like making up for lost time. But the way it's painted listen, a tattoo that's just too much. I'm not I mean, yeah, that is a weird thing to do for your sister, but I also feel like it's like it's not the end of the world, obviously it meant a lot to her. I mean, a lot of people do get their siblings. My sister always told me she would get my name. Okay. Well So like I just feel like that's actually kind of common. Okay, but what if it was your brother? My brother does have a tattoo of like the marathon, and he said that that was related to me. It's my name, but well, it's not your name. Yeah. But I think that's no, I know. Yeah, but I guess what you're saying, like the opposite sex, yeah. I and I know it's not a big I don't think Stassi should be jealous of a sister. Well, the thing is in her psycho dark passenger brain, and she said this, I think. Yeah. She essentially said the thing that annoys me is that he was going so hard on refusing to do it. When we all know if he just said okay, I would never actually want. To do that. I know, I know. But then she took it too, well, I'm good enough to marry you, have two of your kids. Really? I kinda liked that. Yeah. I mean, if you want to get like what better could you say? I don't agree with the whole thing. Although I don't know. I think I'd be like, Tim, what? But I do feel like and I'm gonna like set this up so that we put a fake tattoo on Tim that says like Danielle. Dani girl, imagine with a little heart. I do think in relationships back to Stassi wanting the tattoo with Beau. do we do you think 'cause I think so very much, getting a tattoo in terms of your significant other is like a kiss of death. Yes, that's the worst thing you could ever do. You never fucking know. Well, and also I feel like you're just like throwing out your last Hail Mary. Yeah. Who'd like and for what? What's the tattoo? Especially the rings. The ring tattoos when you've already been married for like But I mean that actually like you could play that off like, I just like the look of like having a a ring all the time that I can never remove. So you could kind of play that off a little bit. You can play any of them off. I just think it's The name that's weird, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, wouldn't do it. So she's do you have anything more to say about that, Sizzler? I mean, I think I just I felt really bad for Beau. And I think this was the beginning of us seeing how scared he is of Stassi, like during the cookout, and him being like, You guys need to stop. Like you're bringing the frustration back up and gonna put Stassi back in that place. And then they leave it and and Stassi immediately is like, Wow, you're the victim again. And it's always poor Beau. And just the way she was saying it to him, I'm like, Stop. I'm genuinely curious. I think that's how she talks to him, but I'm genuinely curious how F'd up their marriage is and how much it's not. I I know this is gonna sound insane, but Beau loves her from what I remember. Like but like the kind of love that he already knew who she was and like he can't He's gonna take her no matter what, because the good is so good with her. I'm I'm saying, and I could be wrong, and I could take it. I I could take it. but the good is running out And that's shown on this season. well, I definitely agree, but and I don't want to say too much because there are So just in this moment in time, he's scared. He's scared, he's dealing with it. He he's like, he starts rubbing her back. Yeah, and that's what you're talking about. Yes, yeah. He's down for anything. So do you have anything else to say about that? Nope. So just quickly I want to jump into the idea of breaking the fourth wall with reality TV. Do you know what that means? So that's when someone acknowledges that there's a camera there and they're being filmed. Gotcha. I don't see too much of that on reality TV, not to say it's never been done again. Almost okay, so this is gonna sound wild, but follow me. Almost like the Kardashians. Not keeping up with the Kardashians, but the Kardashians how it's almost docuseries. Yeah. Like they know. Yeah. I've seen it there, but I've never seen anything to this extent that's I guess if you want to call it woke, you could. Yeah. Where did you see this? See what? The break in the fourth wall. In this part of the show? The entire part of the show. Stassi's talking about making a show. okay. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So it's I like the transparency Intentional. Yeah. very. It's like the idea of the show, which is see, she knows what she's doing because I've said for years, why are we pretending that you're not on a show? I know. With Vanderpump rules, I it pissed me off so much, and I'm not the only one. Yeah. That after season three, these people had money, they weren't working in the restaurant, and we had to act like everything that they had to That moment in time wasn't because of VPR. Right. Right. Right. Right. So now valid. Yeah. Like, yeah. So, anyways, Stassi does openly say that she did warn her friends that we're gonna have to be a little crazy if we're gonna make good TV. Right. And she said, I need Katie Maloney for that purpose. So I hope I can reconcile with her because I need her. Yep. But then she kind of dialed back or backpedaled and said, like, but that's not the only reason. I really want my friend back. And I'm like, Yeah, we'll get to that. I think it's business. so now we're on the private jet. Yep, now we're on the PJ. Yep. And Stassi's like, I don't usually travel like this. And I'm like, really? Okay, I am such a poor idiot. I thought a private jet is private. Yeah. Okay, why were there people that she didn't know there? Well, Taylor showed up. Who else was there? She said, I'm glad that I'm the first one to arrive because I don't want people to think to realize I feel out of place and I don't know what I'm doing. I feel like it she was referring to Taylor and like if they had any crew going with them or people that worked with them. the crew, it could be absolute that could be completely true. Yeah, because it wasn't like there was like this old woman. This is not a normal person, but I didn't think about that. But she could have been or even a part of Stassi's team. Well, right. I didn't consider any of that. Duh. Yeah. Because a private jet, you you don't just have like random fucking. Right. I was like, well, does not make any rent it out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So she's on the jet. Yep. On the way to Alex Cooper's Unwell festival. Festival, yeah. And Beau's at home with the kids who are going absolute bananas, but you know. It's just how it goes. And Alex Cooper's so big that she has a festival now. I know. Did you know that the other girl, Sophia Franklin, that started Call Her Daddy that got pushed out? Yeah. Is writing a memoir. oh yeah? It's dropping in like a few months. oh my god. And it's bad because when they split up and they both had their first episode separate, they both spilled the tea. Yeah. And it was insane. oh my god. Both are there. So anyways I can't wait. So she is at the Unwell Festival and her and Taylor Strecker are interviewing the gals from Secret Lives and Mormon Wives. Yes. On stage at this festival. Yes. Yeah, she was the headliner, which is really cool. That was really nice of Alex Cooper. she ended up at I'm assuming after she was the host for that show for one of their reunions. So I'll say. okay. Okay. So but I think that was after. Yeah. But she does know, so that means she knows Taylor Frankie Paul. I wonder what she thinks about all So I feel like Taylor was in one of those scenes at the Paris Hilton pool party. She was dancing, but they didn't show her face. And it was very specific because it looked like her body type, shape, everything, and long brown hair. Yeah, you can tell the hair. And I was like, I think that's her and they're not showing her face. She's really interesting. Well, she would have definitely at that time been on at the Hulu get real event. She she was secret house. Yeah. Secret lives of Mormon wives. That was right. This is before everything blew up. Yeah. So interesting that they didn't show her. Stassi says, what did she say? Synergy loves a Pinot Grigio. Yeah. but Paris Helton, that was cool. I would love to go to her pool party. Call me. So cool. Call us. so Stassi does say that historically men have had a good run outside of the house and now it's our turn, which I would give two thumbs up and I agree. But not but not with Beau. No, that was he's an innocent that was that was terrible and that comment was from her commentary or what did you what'd you call it? confessional. Yeah. why do I want to say commentary? That was literally like her confessional after she's clearly on the FaceTime with him while the kids are losing their shit, and she's making sure that he's calling a party planner for the Halloween party. That to me actually made me feel a different type of way about Stassi because I'm like, You're in Las Vegas on a balcony in a beautiful hotel, and your husband has your two kids, and one's screaming, crying on laying on the ground, and you're asking him about the planner and saying, I need to talk to you, I need to talk to you. Like, that is so fucking insensitive. Like, Beau. I I but I'm not happy. Here's where I'm struggling. I don't think that's organic. One of the clear storylines is showing the power imbalance and Beau I st she's 'cause he smiled at the end too, which I was like she's Stassi Schroeder. She has a manager. Yeah. She has an assistant. She has a whole crew that she's not showing. So I don't believe that. Yeah. but I but I in all fairness, it's fair game with Stassi. So I'm not And she didn't even say hi to her kids or try to calm them down. I mean, maybe it's the way they cut it. I don't know. Probably the way they cut it. But like she's definitely a good mom. That was weird. I didn't like that. But it made me feel sad I know Yeah. So then we cut to Stassi getting lunch with Jesse from Secret Lives. Yep. Yeah. And she brings up Scheana. Dude, Scheana. Scheana Shea is popping up everywhere. She wants to be on Secret Wives of Mor Wait, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Because Brock was raised as a Mormon. What kind of stuff is bullshit? shut the door! And Jesse was like, I really couldn't tell if she was kidding or not. And I can picture how she said it. Like it was, she presented it as a joke, but actually laying it out there because she would love it. Yes. She's just mentioned, she's been mentioned on more shows in the last six months. Yeah. Then do you think she got a call about giving a green light if her name was mentioned? On this? oh absolutely. Yeah. She had to, for sure. oh my god. So Crazy. So crazy. And then it's also talked about reconnecting with Katie Maloney. Right. Yeah. and she says, you know, Kristina Kelly, all of them, they're gonna be on the show. Yeah. Katie has to come on because she's a star right now. She's dating that guy. She's never looked better. Yeah. Leaving Tom sandwich shop is this sandwich. crushing it Just any any and all of it. Thank God she got rid of Tom. I know. Talk about dead weight. She is proof that if you are with the wrong person, it will destroy you from the inside out. Yeah. She looks lighter and lighter physically. Yeah. so let's get to the Katie of it all. Yeah, so now we cut to the Halloween party. Or actually getting ready before the Halloween party. Yes. So what I did just want to say that in the confessional, Stassi does say quickly that she understands that us viewers are going to think that Katie coming on the show for them to squash their beef is not going to feel organic. Yeah. But she wanted to point out that's what I was talking about earlier. Yeah. that she was saying that they really did well she was like, They're correct, but there's a little bit more to it, because I want my friend. Yes, she's saying we're really haven't been talking and it's not a huge deal, but I've been wanting to reconcile and what better way to do it than my very own show. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Who can even talk crap? But that's but I would feel if I was Katie, that's not organic. And I probably wouldn't answer her. I mean, maybe if I wanted to get paid. she absolutely was gonna want to be a part of the show. No doubt that again, just like in the city. There's no doubt that they had a conversation before they got on camera. Right. Like, come on. Yeah, just crazy. And if they did, then it's not good for them. Yeah. So right before we move on to the Halloween party, Stassi just talks about her sister really quick. Yes. Are you ready for this? I looked it up. Georgi is only three years younger than Stassi. oh shit. And how old's Stassi? Like forty. Is she? She's older than me? Georgi was born in nineteen ninety five and she was so she's Wait, so Georg No, you were born in what? Ninety ninety yeah. When were you born? Ninety two. So that's when Sassi She's three years younger than you. Georgi was born in ninety five. I'm saying she's three years younger than Stassi. How is that possible if she's three y three years younger than you? Well, if she's not forty, then she's thirty seven, thirty six. Yeah, well I need to know because this doesn't make sense that math is not mathing. hali we couldn't even we couldn't even count a number of episodes on our special announcement. Doctor Google. Stassi Schroeder, thirty eight. She's born in nineteen eighty eight. She's thirty eight. Okay, look up her sister now. Is she Schroeder Yeah. Yeah, she's 32. Okay, so that's six years, not three. Yeah. Maybe like five and a half. Yeah. But I was very much so under the impression until I looked that up that she was in her twenties. She looks it. She looks it. She acts it. She's petite. She's yeah, and so emotionally immature immature. Even more than Stassi, which is insane. my god, yeah. Yeah. What I find interesting though is When siblings are young, it's not uncommon, especially sisters. It's not uncommon when you're that close in age to really like fight and not get along. But you usually see Well, it's funny you say that because I was just talking to a parent of one of my patients the other day. And we were talking about the differences and ages of kids and whether the relationship will be close or if they'll actually be the opposite and hate each other and not really interact at all. Okay. And I made a point that what I see is anything from one year to four year difference, they're gonna be super close. It's close enough, they'll be in high school together. Five and up, it's a toss-up, which is them. Yeah. Six years. Yeah. But I will say regardless. Regardless, and that's super interesting. very interesting. But by the time you're in your twenties, your thirties, it's very normal for that age gap, three years, five years, you don't even see that anymore. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Once you're older. So I'm just shocked that this is still a thing. Yeah. She says that her sister reminds her of her mom, who she historically has not gotten close with or gotten along with. Yep. she even has the same color as the mom. Is that dyed? I don't know. I can't tell. Why would they both if they both dyed at the same exact then that's fire and gin red? Yeah. And I actually think it looks great on them. Yeah, no, they can't. If anyone can pull it off, they can. But she did say, how did she say it? She said Stassi said something along the lines of you know, they both have the same red hair, they're both hard on me, and they both need male validation. Yeah. Or something like that. I was like Yikes. Yep. Okay. Stick it in and turn it. Halloween party. Yeah. So first it's getting ready and Stassi's getting those boils on her face. and I don't know why, but I think this is when the flashback of Beau working and casting. But I wrote Beau's so sweet, but he's aged. My notes are so great. I should like post them. They're so ridiculous. but then they also I feel like at this point they're talking about how is this gonna go over with your sister? And also, how's this gonna go over with with Katie? And I'm sorry, but that flashback of Vanderpump Villa with Georgi and Georgia presenting to Sassi, hey, by the way, we just booked tickets because remember when we said we wanted to come to LA to spend time with you? Well, we're gonna move in. What are we doing? That's how you ask? That's how she asks. oh my god. And then you move in with the Taylors?! after Vanderpump Villa because you're upset. And that's weird. And I'd like to know if there's actual truth to that because I can't imagine if you if you friggin moved in with one of my friends. One of a forget in with Amanda and Sean Well it's a whole couple. Yes. It's weird. Very odd. Yeah. And that that again, that already I'm like, Georgi, I don't I don't really like you because that's sketchy and that's sneaky and I don't I don't like it. But also why didn't you come to the party with the Taylors? Two came completely separate. I think there's holes in the story. Yeah. I think it's a little bit of a laugh. And there were two people behind Georgi when she walked into the Halloween party and I was like, Who are those people? And they didn't show them. Yeah, it's weird. Stassi's costume is what what did she say? She's like a Victorian bubonic plagued whore or like a slut. Yeah. Her sister does give her a big warm hug when she walks in, but immediately gives a jab and says, I would never wear boils on my face. But I'll this is the one positive I'll say about Georgi. She crushed it. She looked just like Coraline. And I don't know how she did it, but the way even she was staring looks like Coraline. She looked great. Yeah, because Coraline Coraline is like scared. And Georgi looks scared every time she like looks. It's because she's scared of Stassi. That's true. That's true. so I feel like there are two, you know, schools of thought with Halloween, or either slutty or scary. Right. And then so Taylor Strecker comes in as Blake Lively, right? Which that was kind of cool. And I was like, wow, she actually looks really hot with like blonde hair. That looks really good. But then the other Taylor, Teddy, was the fucking Grinch. And I was like, that is Fucking amazing. Like so smart to use the bump for Halloween costumes. What was I? White trash? That's what I was for my Halloween party. I don't think I went to that Halloween party. I was in the house. I had curlers that were beer cans. Yeah, I can't believe I missed that. I know. This I think this year though, I I'm going scary. okay. You won't understand. You haven't, I know. You haven't seen backrooms, right? It's a horror movie. No. That like bathrooms. That was like internet lore full thing. Whatever. I'm gonna be one of those people. Okay, anyways. All right. back to it. I feel like this is my glow up, so I don't think I can go scary this year. I feel like I have to come in. No, don't go scary. You need to go slutty. and guys, I just want to point out again, as our listeners know, we are in Boston, aka New England, aka It's freezing. So when you do dress dress slutty, it's you're taking a hit for the team. And it was easier in my twenties. oh yeah. In college, because you just you just did it. But now and you liquored up. and you didn't feel a thing. So what I do for what I've been doing for my parties, and this is a good idea for you. Once the pictures are taken and a few hours have gone by, I always just put on all black and cat ears. Yeah. So yeah, it gets cold out there. I feel like that's honestly my Halloween costume. It is. That is yours, but you gotta do better than that. Yes, that's a back up. Definitely. Okay. So all right. So then Katie comes in. And her boyfriend seems absolutely comfortable on the show. See, that's so funny you say that because I actually felt like he was super awkward. Really? In that first scene when they came into the party. oh that's so funny because I couldn't believe how comfortable he was. oh interesting. And I'm a and I assumed is somewhat like Eoin from In the City it's because he's already exposed to fame, obviously. Yeah. But he doesn't realize just like Eoin that reality TV is a whole nother beast. oh my god, totally different. I guess when they were walking into the party, he looked very comfortable and fine. But then when they approached Stassi to say hello, that's when I noticed he was like kind of turning towards Katie and like I it just seemed like he was a little jittery. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean he wasn't you know, great, but yeah, 'cause there's probably a huge build up to that, the entire ride to that party. oh they all knew that this is gonna be easy on Katie. The first meeting. Yeah, that yeah. They they both they all knew that this was not going to be centered around Katie and Stassi. They were gonna save that for the lunch that they had the next week. Yeah. And that it was specifically to highlight how annoying Georgi is. Yes. So I feel like it was very little stress on Katie. Yeah. But then did you notice that like as Katie, Stassi and Nick were all saying hello, that they they cut the camera to Beau's face and Beau's was like Beau was like totally panicking and like, oh my god, what's gonna happen here? Like this poor guy. He he was very protective and concerned that she was going to the old Stassi from Vanderpump was gonna come out. And that's what he said. Yeah. So an hello. The call is coming from inside the house, Stassi. Your enemy is not Katie, it's your sister. What are we? It's your own flesh and blood. Yep. Come on. Which leads us to that conversation. Georgi pulls Stassi for a chat, and Stassi. Stassi is visibly annoyed before she even knows that anything. Which I would be too. That's a freaking Halloween party. Why do you choose that moment to do that? I'm sorry. You couldn't call your sister that you're saying you care about so so much and you you wanted to be near her to live with her and you can't call her? You have a letter talking about your feelings to your sister on camera. Like you just want the whole world to feel bad for you. That you proofred with the Taylors and then proofred through chat GPT. I can't believe she admitted to that. I know I'm like that's just why I'm like, ugh I I can't. I'd s I if I was Stassi I'd toss her right out the to into the dumpster. And what was I know what was she saying That it hurt her feelings on Vanderpump Villa that Stassi was saying that she doesn't help at all. Yeah. Like, well, you don't. We're seeing it really. Stassi doesn't either. I'm sure she does. I'm sure she does. but I do have to say that because at first I was like, why is she Stassi being so cold, and then it hit me. Yeah. Georgi is probably incredibly dangerously self centered, just like their mom is. And Stassi growing up, she knows the song and dance. Yeah. She knows that this girl's about to play the victim. She knows that this her sister is aware that by reading this letter, it is a guarantee of screen time. Yeah. You know? Well, she is Stassi even said that after she read it. She calls her out four is that chat GPT, but she also said, like, kind of weird, because I I knew you were gonna do this and make me look like a menace. And then the biggest like boom statement she said. She was like, "it sounds like a you burden" Burden. Burden. She said. oh geez. And I was like, damn, Stassi, she's got the the like, I don't know, just the things she says. I'm like, where do you come up with this? It's so good. Stassi also said, I know, she also said though, that she wasn't using Georgie's insecurities against her, that she was just stating facts. She said this to Georgi, not a confessional. I'm just stating facts that you don't want to face. Yeah. It's a hundred percent. Totally. and that's what I wrote, harsh but valid, everything Stassi said. And I mean with this scene, pretty much they get back together and Stassi allows her to come back to her home. So let's can we get are we ready to get into the Katie and Stassi of it all? Yes. So this is after the Halloween party. It is. They meet for lunch at the Belmont. At the Belmont. I wrote that too. That's so funny. Katie says that she's hesitant in a confessional about going on Stassi's show because she has been off reality TV for a while and she's never been happier. Yeah. So I'm just trying to figure out. But also that she's the godmother to Hartford and like they've had this falling out, which I was really sad about. I'm like, my God. That's why you don't pick friends to be a godparent. Yeah. Because it's you just don't know. People change. Yeah, it's hard. It's hard not seeing your God daughter or whatnot. I can't. Yeah. I my heart goes out because that's super awkward. And the fact that you're not trying to bring them together is weird. Right. And the parent of the child is the one who's yes, that's what I mean, Stassi. Yeah. so Stassi, and now they're unpacking what the fight was about. Stassi saying, Hey, listen, I was in a really dark Place after I got canceled. VPR was doing better than ever. I had a lot going on and I poured my heart out to you. I had just had a baby. Well, yeah. Yeah. And all of that. She was canceled. She had a baby. Cancelled, they had a baby. Yeah. She's postpartum. Yeah. And then VPR is doing better than ever. Yep. So Katie at this point is everything because her and Arianna, who are were the queens at that point, opened up the sandwich shop. Yep. She just lost weight, got a divorce, like But so this is what I wrote in my notes. Like I don't honestly I don't feel like Stassi has that much of a big point with this because I didn't really feel like Stassi was also that considerate of the fact that Katie just went through a really terrible relationship and a divorce. So like this is her come up too. And like I mean Stassi kinda had Kristen to deal with the cancellation. If if What Stassi said was true, and Katie was looking at her phone the whole time and then didn't put it down. And when she put it down, talked about herself. Yeah. Really self absorbed. But some of the one of the biggest reasons they stopped being friends this season right before Stassi took a hiatus and moved to New York with her weird boyfriend Patrick was because she was so self absorbed. Right. And Katie was Well, no, I think Stassi said it was because Scheana was invited to her birthday dinner and she wasn't. No, I'm saying like season three. gotcha, gotcha. Okay. They had a falling out and it was because Stassi was self absorbed and would just the dark passenger even to her friends. Yes. Which I ha also have a dark passenger and it's not good to do that to your friends. No, it's not. Take it out on your husband like a normal person. Yeah. I Can't do that. Anyways. But yes, okay. So She but just like you said, she says it's a slap in the face that you invited Scheana to your birthday and not me. And I think she's not giving enough weight on that. I know. Like, let's be honest, that's a huge part of this. Well, and Katie But it didn't even respond to it really. But why would Katie do that unless they were already in a bad place? Well, and Stassi said that. She's You know what you're fucking doing when you fucking invited Scheana. Like, no one likes Scheana. Like, Scheana's just that annoying like little sister that's like around. But then this is when Katie drops this quote. If they didn't come out of you, they're married to you, or not on your fucking payroll, they don't get to be in your life." And then the Dark Passengers activated, which I really like how Stassi does this in the show, where she puts the little star like I do on our pod. Yes. oh! she stole it. And and she did. She's a thief. but yeah, I was activated. So Stassi in her confessional cuts to the confessional and she says. Damn that bitch is good. I need her on my show. And I said, This is genius. Yes. And I don't know. Some people, Danny Pellegrino actually covered on his podcast I was listening on my drive up here. About house of stassi Yeah, but they did him and Hannah Brown. They just covered the whole season quickly. Ow. They well, they weren't doing scenes, they're just giving feedback. Surprised by him doing that. Why? oh, well, I He is already committed to other shows, so he's not gonna drop every week. I guess that's what my educated guess was, yeah. What was I gonna say? What did he say? oh! but he he's not like really digging the fourth wall. No. No. And I was surprised by that. Well, 'cause he probably feels like it's kind of it's probably is somewhat scripted and like she kind of orchestrated some of the things that are happening. But to be fair now that she sorry, no, it's okay. She does make a lot of comments in her confessional of we've discussed this prior. We've discussed this. I told them this can't happen. I told them this has to happen. So like I think the difference for me is with reality TV in general, I don't want to know how the food's being made. Yeah. You know? I just want to consume it. I don't want to know. Yeah. But I think what makes me feel different is because When I say that, I don't want to know how the food is made. I don't want to see like the producers and whatnot. Because Stassi is the producer, yeah, it makes it more fun. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. No, I agree with that. I definitely agree with that for sure. So I am living for the transparency. Yeah. I, you know, it's strange that, you know, it hasn't been filmed like this before to this extent, but I think it's really smart. Yeah, no, I think it was a great episode. I think that this whole season was great and I can't wait talk about more of it. But one thing I will say about this meeting with Katie was I wrote, Did they really resolve things? Like I didn't really feel like that conversation or that meetup actually resolved anything. Like no one said I'm sorry. I never heard the words I'm sorry. I never really heard anyone own up to anything. It was kind of like, Well, this is what I feel and this is what I feel, and like, okay, now we're gonna do a show. They did kiss and make up. Yeah. Because again, I do believe strongly that they had a convo before the show. Yeah. So I don't know. But also I think if they genuinely made up if the Taylor Strecker storyline is true that she was upset w I'm jumping ahead, but is upset with Katie for saying the payroll thing. oh yeah Then I imagine Stassi would say something to the effect, even behind the scenes, hey, we can't do this because We're still on like rocky ground, me and Katie, and I can't have her pull out this early. Yeah. So I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. That's odd, right? It is. It is. I don't know. But yeah. No. Okay. So So actually we should probably talk about like what are we gonna cover next? Are we gonna do two I feel like doing multiple episodes gonna be rough. We're gonna be on for two hours. I agree. Because this was forty six minutes of a show and we have an hour In an hour. The problem is I got so addicted when I started watching. I went through episode two, three, whatever. Yeah. And I remember in my mind saying to myself, There's no way we can do it. So if we're smart, if we have time, and this is a joke of me even saying this, because of course we won't, but if we have time, maybe we can try to do two in one week. Okay. Yeah. Even then it's like a virtual one, yeah. Yeah, because this is just yeah not And if if we can switch two and make them a non scene by scene recap. Right. We can do that. Right. I'm gonna have to rewatch episode two because I can't remember how loaded that one is. Because I feel like there were a couple episodes that weren't that like wild and I actually was a little bored at times. Really? Yeah. Or maybe I just was focused on something else on my phone. I don't know. Maybe, but yeah, let's rewatch episode two, discuss internally. Yep. Because I we will I feel like we're gonna lose people mentally if we do every single yeah yeah so no and we have Housewives of Salt Lake City coming soon. Which I'm fired. Anything with Mary When does that start? Do you know? I don't know. That was just like the teaser, so it must not be anytime soon. Okay. Well maybe it is though, I don't know. Well we'll have to look at Rhode Island's filming right now too. There's been multiple spottings of them around Rhode Island or even in Boston. They had to pick up the cameras because of all the stuff going on. Yeah. And I'm glad they did. And who did I just see? Someone that I used to work with at a hospital took a picture with Rulla. She was just at Wrentham Outlets today. So My sister in law, who does not watch reality TV at all. Yeah. She was telling me that her and her friends went somewhere in Rhode Island. oh! at Mama Mia, whatever he did. That guy's wrestling. Alicia's Alicia's husband. and her friends love that show and they he chatted and was like giving them tea the husband? Yeah. Of Rulla. Of Alicia. Okay. That was a So and was like giving tea. On Rulla. On just have no idea what it was. But I am going to grill her when I see her next. But she doesn't know what's going on because she doesn't watch it. So maybe I'll get the context I know. What the fuck? Before the summer's over. Yeah. But I think Rulla didn't look that great in that picture that I saw. She had like sunglasses on a hat on. She looked a little rough, but look at the headline that just came out. This chick just posted another photo with the husband. I'd be looking bad too. He's such a loser. He is. He is a loser. He's money hungry and he wants to be on film because on screen because he's money hungry, yes. Fame hungry, clout chasing Very parallels with Jax! It's a wall, too. Like one of those episodes when they were at the the dinner with Alicia and her significant other. It was wild. He's crazy. Yeah. He's crazy just like this season of House of Stassi. Yep. So, guys, let us know. I have been looking online and there's tons of mixed feelings about this show. Yeah. So I'm actually interested if you guys want us to continue covering this, if you need it more. Condensed, what do you think? Because we're gonna just go on and on until I can't wait to read the responses. They were going to our email, that's why no one can see them! I mean, Nicole did say that that we should cover Spongebob SquarePants. Yeah, I don't I didn't get that joke. Because originally she said the valley, but the valley's done. So I said, Well, maybe next season. And then she said, Well, how about SpongeBob? I was like in my mind, is she calling me saying my body looks like SpongeBob? OH my god No, she wouldn't, I know, but I I did it took my brain a second. I was like But I screwed up and like replied to the original comment and everything just got all messed up and it's just it's a lot. Alright dealing with media. But yeah, have a wonderful night, guys. Happy Friday. Happy Friday bye
