- 0:45Speaker 1: see the visuals, honey.
- 0:46Speaker 2: My girl is wearing a pink sweatshirt.
- 0:48Speaker 1: You look good.
- 0:50Speaker 3: I never sweatshirt it very often, but now you're sweatshirting
- 0:53Speaker 3: it too. And we kind of have the Harajuku vibes going.
- 0:57Speaker 3: You're Heather Dubrow and her Chanel and I'm all the
- 1:00Speaker 3: other girls and they're hot pink. I loved the Harajuku.
- 1:04Speaker 3: Is that how you pronounce it? I'm scared I'm saying
- 1:05Speaker 3: it wrong now.
- 1:06Speaker 1: I love it. It's so great.
- 1:09Speaker 3: I love me a costume, but I'm like, dang, I
- 1:11Speaker 3: really want to do that for Halloween one year. Not
- 1:13Speaker 3: this year, but one year. I know. I know.
- 1:14Speaker 1: No, I loved it.
- 1:16Speaker 2: I thought the trip, first of all, the trip was great.
- 1:19Speaker 1: I like the fact that they were able to tap
- 1:21Speaker 1: into their culture and just really have fun and give
- 1:24Speaker 1: us some great commentary.
- 1:26Speaker 2: But listen, comparing me to Heather Dubrow, I have.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Listen, I am Gina in a casita, allegedly, compared to
- 1:38Speaker 1: Heather's shit.
- 1:39Speaker 3: I'm not comparing you like you're both chocolate or you're
- 1:41Speaker 3: both vanilla or where you live. I'm comparing.
- 1:43Speaker 1: I am chocolate.
- 1:46Speaker 3: I'm comparing... And she's not. I'm comparing the fact that you,
- 1:50Speaker 3: you are wearing black Harajuku vibe. And that's what Heather did.
- 1:54Speaker 3: She did the Chanel version, black and white, and I'm
- 1:56Speaker 3: wearing the bright pink, which I didn't even put to,
- 1:58Speaker 3: I didn't even think about it until you started this.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Can I ask you, have you ever wanted to go
- 2:03Speaker 3: to Tokyo?
- 2:05Speaker 1: Oh, it's on my like bucket list.
- 2:06Speaker 3: Oh, it is.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Okay.
- 2:07Speaker 3: So when Heather said that, I'm like, I have to
- 2:09Speaker 3: ask Carlos. Cause it never was on mine at all
- 2:13Speaker 3: until I saw this episode. Oh no.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Going to Japan is like seriously on my bucket list.
- 2:21Speaker 3: But I mean, I just, I, you know, and I
- 2:23Speaker 3: feel like it's like, you know, the Asian, you get
- 2:25Speaker 3: a lot of that, but the Tokyo.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Is like, Yes.
- 2:30Speaker 1: It's a beautiful, beautiful city in addition to the culture
- 2:35Speaker 1: and the fashions and the food. I am here for
- 2:38Speaker 1: everybody who I know that went and have said, Carlos,
- 2:41Speaker 1: you have to go.
- 2:42Speaker 3: I agree. After watching this, I want to. Here's the thing, Carlos.
- 2:45Speaker 3: You and I have connections with producers, so we need
- 2:48Speaker 3: to call them and get the exact itinerary that those do.
- 2:52Speaker 3: We can do exactly that because they had the perfect
- 2:55Speaker 3: trip set up. I wonder how many months it took
- 2:57Speaker 3: those that team to put that all together for the girls,
- 3:00Speaker 3: but it was the perfect trip.
- 3:01Speaker 1: It was actually, it was. And listen, I will call new. Look,
- 3:06Speaker 1: I will call Luke Ness. Let's just show him runner.
- 3:11Speaker 2: And get the T know that.
- 3:14Speaker 1: But listen, I feel like based on if I got
- 3:18Speaker 1: this wrong is next week, the finale is, I.
- 3:21Speaker 3: Feel like it is, but I didn't know for sure.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Me neither. I don't know.
- 3:25Speaker 2: I feel like it's the finale. I don't know, but
- 3:27Speaker 2: let's get into this.
- 3:29Speaker 3: Let me call my people to call their people to
- 3:30Speaker 3: find out if that's the last finale, okay?
- 3:33Speaker 1: Honey, honey, you got the people of the people, honey. No, no,
- 3:37Speaker 1: no that. So look, in this episode, it starts off
- 3:43Speaker 1: with this conversation that was had between Heather and a
- 3:50Speaker 1: group of girls, Emily was there, about, you know, Gina
- 3:54Speaker 1: spending her money because we saw them shopping. And you
- 3:58Speaker 1: know what's so funny? Not to like not continue whatever.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Alexa's reaction was mine, but once I finish, I will
- 4:08Speaker 1: explain to her too why I agree with her. Okay.
- 4:11Speaker 1: So Gina is shopping as any adult would. Whether you
- 4:18Speaker 1: have one child or 10.
- 4:21Speaker 3: Or whether you have $ 1 or 10. Or $ 10. You're
- 4:23Speaker 3: going to shop in your budget and you're going to shop.
- 4:26Speaker 3: If you're in Tokyo, do as the Tokyo people do
- 4:28Speaker 3: and you shop, okay?
- 4:30Speaker 1: Yes.
- 4:31Speaker 2: And according to Jamie, hey, Jamie, the finale is next Thursday.
- 4:35Speaker 3: Oh, I see you have people in high places there. Thanks, Jamie.
- 4:38Speaker 1: It doesn't come as high than my Jamie. Thank you, Jamie.
- 4:43Speaker 1: So with that being said, look, Gina's shopping and Emily
- 4:50Speaker 1: goes back. Once again, Alexis, we talked about this last week,
- 4:54Speaker 1: the game of telephone. So once again, Emily goes back
- 4:59Speaker 1: to the hotel. You know, she's sharing a room with
- 5:02Speaker 1: Gina and she says, oh, by the way, Heather has
- 5:08Speaker 1: concerns about how much money you're spending.
- 5:11Speaker 2: She wonders if you are.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Acting like an actress who gets a gig and once
- 5:19Speaker 1: they get the gig, they spend the money without having
- 5:22Speaker 1: another gig in place because we all know in Hollywood,
- 5:28Speaker 1: you're only as good as your last gig and it's
- 5:31Speaker 1: not a sustainable salary job. So Gina rightfully so offended
- 5:36Speaker 1: because she's.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Like, number one, why are you counting my money?
- 5:39Speaker 1: Number two, if you felt so concerned about my money habits,
- 5:43Speaker 1: why didn't you give me the real estate opportunity for
- 5:48Speaker 1: your child to have, you know, a place to stay.
- 5:52Speaker 1: And three, she has a job. And for me, team
- 5:59Speaker 1: Gina here. And look, I'm not going to make this
- 6:02Speaker 1: all about dissing Heather, but once again, I've said this
- 6:08Speaker 1: once and I'll say it again, Heather, this is my opinion.
- 6:11Speaker 1: This is the look. These are the thoughts and commentary
- 6:15Speaker 1: of only Carlos King. Do not include Alexis Jansen in this.
- 6:18Speaker 1: This is only the thoughts and opinions of Carlos King.
- 6:21Speaker 1: I think Heather is so pretentious, which, by the way,
- 6:24Speaker 1: isn't a bad thing. I like my reality stars that
- 6:27Speaker 1: have a little bit of quirks about them. That's hers.
- 6:30Speaker 1: But it goes to show you that I've been saying
- 6:32Speaker 1: this for years. When she looks at Gina specifically, she
- 6:38Speaker 1: looks at her like a charity case. And that commentary
- 6:42Speaker 1: concern illustrated that for me.
- 6:49Speaker 3: Wow. Okay. Well, I do feel like it's nobody's business
- 6:56Speaker 3: on Housewives to judge other people on how they're spending
- 6:58Speaker 3: their money. It goes back to the episode where Jen,
- 7:03Speaker 3: it was one of our first years. And maybe even
- 7:05Speaker 3: the year before, maybe it was even, so I did
- 7:08Speaker 3: season 18. Maybe it was season 17. when Jen first
- 7:11Speaker 3: got on and someone made the comment about, well, if
- 7:12Speaker 3: your house is getting foreclosed on or, you know, you're
- 7:15Speaker 3: getting evacuated, why are, why are you wearing a Rolex?
- 7:18Speaker 3: It's nobody's business how people get their money, use their money,
- 7:22Speaker 3: go broke, get rich. It's nobody's business. It's like money
- 7:25Speaker 3: and housewives should not mix, but it's actually like the
- 7:28Speaker 3: biggest storyline of every housewives franchise is like the money
- 7:31Speaker 3: and all the questions that will go around the money.
- 7:33Speaker 3: But so I just felt like it was so out
- 7:36Speaker 3: of line because like if Gina was Let's say Gina
- 7:39Speaker 3: just closed a huge house and she has to go
- 7:42Speaker 3: fall shopping or whatever month they went to Japan. I
- 7:45Speaker 3: forget what it was, but whatever month they were, she
- 7:47Speaker 3: needs a few items for this or she wants this.
- 7:49Speaker 3: And she set a certain amount of money aside from
- 7:51Speaker 3: her money to go shopping. Whose business is it to say, oh,
- 7:55Speaker 3: now you're going to go broke? I don't think Gina
- 7:57Speaker 3: is going to go broke. Okay. I think she's wise
- 8:00Speaker 3: enough now when you are raising kids on your own,
- 8:02Speaker 3: you're wise enough to know like the money that's going
- 8:04Speaker 3: to be bleeding out of you when you come, you know,
- 8:06Speaker 3: they go to college and and everything. It's, it's, I,
- 8:10Speaker 3: I just was so, I was so just kind of
- 8:12Speaker 3: irked by the whole thing and thought, man, they're just
- 8:14Speaker 3: really looking for something to grab at something else to,
- 8:17Speaker 3: cause they're, everything's kind of kumbaya. So it seems like
- 8:19Speaker 3: they're just grabbing.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Yeah. And I, what?
- 8:28Speaker 1: My sentiment based on the last scene of this episode,
- 8:33Speaker 1: but we will get to that. My beautiful blonde, we
- 8:35Speaker 1: will get to that. And I say to you, I
- 8:37Speaker 1: haven't been so infuriated than watching the ending of this episode.
- 8:41Speaker 1: But I'll explain to you why. Oh, my gosh.
- 8:42Speaker 3: I'm so excited to hear because I do not have
- 8:45Speaker 3: that reaction.
- 8:46Speaker 1: I'm angry. Okay.
- 8:48Speaker 3: Well, let's get through this so we can get to
- 8:49Speaker 3: the end because now I'm excited.
- 8:51Speaker 2: Alexis said, how about we fast forward to the end?
- 8:53Speaker 1: Wait to the end and then go to the beginning.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Go to the beginning. Wait. I can wait. Raindrops. Stay tuned. Okay. Listen, I... Obviously,
- 9:03Speaker 1: I'm on Gina's side, which is why when Gina confronted
- 9:06Speaker 1: Heather about this, Heather's like, look, I just want to
- 9:14Speaker 1: make sure you're good. And I wasn't counting your money.
- 9:18Speaker 1: I wasn't doing any of those things. I just wanted
- 9:21Speaker 1: to make sure that Everything you were doing were right.
- 9:25Speaker 1: And then, you know, Jen and Tam was like, no, no, no, no, no.
- 9:27Speaker 2: It wasn't like that. It wasn't like that.
- 9:30Speaker 1: You know, we were just concerned about making sure you
- 9:32Speaker 1: were good. And then Jen is like, cause you know, um,
- 9:37Speaker 1: you're inspiring because you went from living in a casita
- 9:41Speaker 1: to your new house and Gina loses it. Like, first
- 9:45Speaker 1: of all, I wasn't living in a casita with my children.
- 9:49Speaker 1: My husband was, was living in LA for work. I
- 9:52Speaker 1: would go on the weekends and live in Casita. And
- 9:56Speaker 1: you guys are making it seem like I was just
- 9:59Speaker 1: like this. haphazard woman putting my kids through that and
- 10:04Speaker 1: once again Gina sigh because this is how I feel
- 10:09Speaker 1: unless you're asking me to loan you money I have
- 10:15Speaker 1: no right to worry about how you're spending yours.
- 10:19Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. That is so true.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Right? And Alexis, let's break the fourth wall. Gina is
- 10:27Speaker 1: a seven-season, maybe five. I may be stretching.
- 10:31Speaker 3: Seven. No.
- 10:33Speaker 1: No, it's just five.
- 10:34Speaker 3: She was five on 18. So now she's six, seven.
- 10:36Speaker 1: She's seven.
- 10:37Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Jamie, make sure I'm accurate, please. Gina is a seven-season
- 10:43Speaker 1: housewife consecutively. She's getting paid from the show too, guys.
- 10:48Speaker 1: That's why, to your point, are y'all just making shit
- 10:52Speaker 1: up to have something to fight about? She's getting paid
- 10:55Speaker 1: by Bravo.
- 10:57Speaker 3: Right. On top of selling 20 million, closing 20 million
- 11:01Speaker 3: in real estate, according to Emily. We have to say
- 11:04Speaker 3: that because it didn't come out of Gina's mouth. Yeah.
- 11:11Speaker 2: As a mom, did you understand where she was coming from?
- 11:13Speaker 3: Well, oh yes. Cause I mean, you, it's called nest.
- 11:16Speaker 3: It's kind of called nesting. And it's when you are
- 11:19Speaker 3: just starting the initial process of a divorce and you
- 11:23Speaker 3: don't want to uproot the children right away. Your parents
- 11:25Speaker 3: are already breaking up and that's enough for the little
- 11:27Speaker 3: kids to handle. That's enough on their shoulders, whether they're
- 11:29Speaker 3: teenagers or younger, it doesn't matter. It's enough. Don't uproot
- 11:32Speaker 3: their bedrooms. Don't go into a second home yet. Give
- 11:34Speaker 3: them a month or two or however long you need
- 11:36Speaker 3: to nest to process it all. Make it exciting that
- 11:39Speaker 3: you found another home. Now you have two homes, guys.
- 11:41Speaker 3: You have two bedrooms. Make things happen a little slower.
- 11:44Speaker 3: So what Gina was doing was simply when her husband
- 11:47Speaker 3: came soon to be ex-husband came into town, he got
- 11:49Speaker 3: the house so the kids didn't have to move. She
- 11:52Speaker 3: went to a casita, but why wouldn't you? I would
- 11:54Speaker 3: go stay with friends or go rent a hotel room.
- 11:56Speaker 3: That's what, or stay in one of our other homes.
- 11:58Speaker 3: We had other homes, but then we were showing those.
- 12:00Speaker 3: So whatever worked out, it was like, I would, that's
- 12:02Speaker 3: what I would do. That's what Jim would do. Well,
- 12:04Speaker 3: that's what she was doing. So it wasn't that she
- 12:06Speaker 3: was living in a casita. However, I can see how
- 12:08Speaker 3: it can be perceptualized as that. But you know, it
- 12:12Speaker 3: was good that Gina put them in their place and said,
- 12:13Speaker 3: I've never lived in a casita. She kind of yelled,
- 12:15Speaker 3: yelled that, but I would be too, because it's like, don't,
- 12:18Speaker 3: don't make something that's not there. I was not living.
- 12:21Speaker 3: I was nesting for my children. And I wish she
- 12:23Speaker 3: would have said that term because that's really what it is,
- 12:25Speaker 3: is nesting. But I wish she would have just said that.
- 12:28Speaker 3: And I'm just like, it was for my kids, which
- 12:30Speaker 3: she did say. So yeah. Another thing that was kind
- 12:34Speaker 3: of being made out of nothing, but for the money part,
- 12:36Speaker 3: it's like, if they weren't, if they were, if they
- 12:39Speaker 3: were coming from a good place or were like, you know, how,
- 12:43Speaker 3: how it was like, I forget what you just said. They,
- 12:44Speaker 3: what words they used, but if it was like, they
- 12:46Speaker 3: weren't judging it, And they weren't trying to make something
- 12:48Speaker 3: out of nothing. Why did they even bring it up?
- 12:51Speaker 3: Because there's really no signs that she's going south or
- 12:57Speaker 3: going back. She's even being so conscious with her money
- 12:59Speaker 3: that she's deciding, do we even throw a big wedding
- 13:01Speaker 3: or save the money for our kids? So she's not
- 13:05Speaker 3: being unwise with her money. She's obviously maybe passing up
- 13:08Speaker 3: a wedding for her children. So let's let Gina have
- 13:13Speaker 3: her life.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Yeah. And listen, I'm not going to say they feel
- 13:17Speaker 1: this way. I'm going to tell you how I feel.
- 13:19Speaker 1: I also just feel like there are people in this
- 13:23Speaker 1: world who like having a broke friend. You know what
- 13:29Speaker 1: I mean? You call it.
- 13:30Speaker 3: A charity case kind of thing.
- 13:32Speaker 1: I mean, don't we.
- 13:36Speaker 3: All have someone that's not like, like that's a little,
- 13:39Speaker 3: that's broke.
- 13:40Speaker 1: According to where we're at.
- 13:41Speaker 3: Everyone does. I mean, people that are so much, you know,
- 13:44Speaker 3: like I'm broke to most people in my group.
- 13:47Speaker 1: True, true. Listen, listen. I have a few billionaires in
- 13:53Speaker 1: my phone that I'm like, can you loan me some money, please?
- 13:56Speaker 1: But I'm good. And they're like, we don't need to
- 13:59Speaker 1: loan it.
- 13:59Speaker 3: You can just have it at your Christmas present. You're like,
- 14:01Speaker 3: thank you.
- 14:01Speaker 1: You know, sometimes I do feel like, listen, I'm a
- 14:04Speaker 1: good person. If you've ever felt the need as a.
- 14:08Speaker 2: Tax write-off, You know, like.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Donate to my company. Donate to me, please.
- 14:13Speaker 2: You know, the charity of Carlos.
- 14:15Speaker 1: I will appreciate it. And it's not even a deal
- 14:18Speaker 1: in your pocketbook.
- 14:20Speaker 2: But I do feel like when it comes to Gina.
- 14:24Speaker 1: Listen, and you know me, I really do have, like,
- 14:27Speaker 1: a soft spot for Gina. I... Ever since she got
- 14:32Speaker 1: on the show, by the way, she's been on the
- 14:35Speaker 1: show since season 13. So if you count season 13...
- 14:39Speaker 1: she's had eight seasons. 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. Yeah.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Kudos to her for that. But what I will say
- 14:48Speaker 1: is I just think she is somebody that is doing
- 14:54Speaker 1: so well in life. And we've seen her go through divorce.
- 14:59Speaker 1: We've seen her deal with a DUI. We've seen her
- 15:03Speaker 1: deal with trying to get back on her feet. And
- 15:07Speaker 1: it's sort of like To your point, Alexis, why make
- 15:13Speaker 1: this an issue? Are you guys struggling for a storyline?
- 15:17Speaker 1: Are you guys kicking her because you want her to
- 15:20Speaker 1: stay down? Do you know what I mean?
- 15:22Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 15:24Speaker 1: This whole episode I was so offended by, but it
- 15:28Speaker 1: started with that because I'm just like, this woman, Gina,
- 15:32Speaker 1: who I affectionately call Gina Altman... Um, she bothers no
- 15:38Speaker 1: one when it comes to like their money. You know
- 15:40Speaker 1: what I mean? Like she, she's not that type of person.
- 15:43Speaker 1: And when she's made this comment about Heather, which I
- 15:45Speaker 1: was like, Ooh, Heather, Heather, not gonna like that. I
- 15:49Speaker 1: wonder if it'll get addressed at the reunion when she's like,
- 15:53Speaker 1: how does she get her money? How, you know, like Emily, well,
- 15:57Speaker 1: she has a podcast.
- 15:58Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
- 15:59Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure she's making a lot of money in
- 16:00Speaker 1: that podcast. Um, so like, listen, Heather, no shade. And
- 16:06Speaker 1: I'm all, let me tell you something. I'm all for
- 16:09Speaker 1: a wife marrying a rich man. I, look, I think
- 16:14Speaker 1: all women should. But anyways, my thing is this.
- 16:17Speaker 2: I think it should be a part of like a
- 16:19Speaker 2: course in high school.
- 16:20Speaker 1: But my thing is this.
- 16:23Speaker 3: Well, then how are any of the men going to
- 16:25Speaker 3: get wives? What's your course going to be for that one?
- 16:31Speaker 2: Economics of marriage and you.
- 16:34Speaker 3: Broke me oh broke man you become the celibate ones
- 16:38Speaker 3: celibate I don't know where your book is going but
- 16:44Speaker 3: that book is gonna make it nowhere I'm.
- 16:47Speaker 1: Just saying so Heather Heather has a shitload of money
- 16:52Speaker 1: because of her husband and Which again, to me is
- 16:56Speaker 1: not a diss.
- 16:58Speaker 3: Are you sure? Hold on. Are you sure? Because her
- 17:00Speaker 3: mom seems pretty affluent. We never really met her dad. Okay.
- 17:04Speaker 1: Okay.
- 17:05Speaker 3: Well you're talking. So her mom's money's here and then
- 17:07Speaker 3: Terry's up here.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Yeah. And I think, listen, listen, I think between her
- 17:11Speaker 1: being a trust fund baby allegedly, cause I don't know
- 17:13Speaker 1: her pockets. Right. And I'm not going to do to
- 17:16Speaker 1: Heather what she did to Gina.
- 17:18Speaker 3: But that's what I'm saying is a trust fund baby
- 17:20Speaker 3: means that she came from money too, honey.
- 17:22Speaker 1: No, I know. I know.
- 17:23Speaker 2: You said, no, no, no. You were saying her mother
- 17:25Speaker 2: seems very well off.
- 17:27Speaker 1: So I was saying is either, I was agreeing with
- 17:30Speaker 1: you that maybe her money comes from the status of
- 17:33Speaker 1: her parents, maybe. But we know that she's married to
- 17:37Speaker 1: Terry and Terry is a multimillionaire. But my point is
- 17:42Speaker 1: no one, no one rightfully so judges Heather for being
- 17:47Speaker 1: a kept woman because Because there's nothing wrong with being
- 17:50Speaker 1: a kept woman. She's a mother. And I told you
- 17:52Speaker 1: mothers should get a salary anyway. But as a woman
- 17:59Speaker 1: whose husband is wealthy and Heather's only job is being
- 18:04Speaker 1: a housewife on Bravo, what gives you agency to worry
- 18:09Speaker 1: about a woman that does have a job that that
- 18:15Speaker 1: pays her a salary outside of the Bravo show. That,
- 18:19Speaker 1: to me, is why I felt it was very unfortunate
- 18:23Speaker 1: that any conversation was having about Gina's money. And look,
- 18:27Speaker 1: you know I love Jen. And I'm going to end
- 18:30Speaker 1: my point by saying this. Jen, you're the last one
- 18:33Speaker 1: to talk about someone's money. And that's why Jen should
- 18:36Speaker 1: have been the main one defending her versus joining in
- 18:39Speaker 1: on the conversation. I was disappointed in Jen in that.
- 18:42Speaker 3: Well, and see, I read it a little different. I
- 18:44Speaker 3: took it that Jen kind of did defend her and
- 18:46Speaker 3: Jen did say, you know, no, no, no, we were
- 18:48Speaker 3: just talking about it as this. And Heather said, you know,
- 18:52Speaker 3: I respect Gina and I'm so happy for how far
- 18:55Speaker 3: she's come. So I took it then that Jen was
- 18:58Speaker 3: kind of being like, look, we were not doing this
- 18:59Speaker 3: in a negative way. And then Jen even threw herself
- 19:01Speaker 3: under the bus. Jen even said, look, I'll even talk
- 19:04Speaker 3: about me when I was getting evicted. I said evacuated earlier. Oh,
- 19:07Speaker 3: my gosh. I said evacuated. It's evicted people.
- 19:11Speaker 1: One moment. A lot of.
- 19:13Speaker 3: You went too fast to the brain. Yeah, it's called evicted. Anyway,
- 19:19Speaker 3: she was like, I'll refer to myself. And so I
- 19:22Speaker 3: feel I didn't feel like Jen was judging or doing
- 19:25Speaker 3: something she shouldn't be doing. But but at the same time,
- 19:29Speaker 3: like I liked how Gina stuck up for herself and
- 19:32Speaker 3: just said, look, I I am making my own money
- 19:36Speaker 3: and I'm fine and and leave it at that. And
- 19:39Speaker 3: I'm just I was like, that was good. And she
- 19:41Speaker 3: didn't even she didn't even get like, oh, what was me?
- 19:43Speaker 3: She was just firm in her stance and like, look,
- 19:45Speaker 3: I'm doing just fine. You guys butt out.
- 19:47Speaker 1: Fight something. Yeah. Team Gina. Team Gina. This is Reality
- 19:54Speaker 1: with the King. And I'm Carlos King. Let's get back
- 19:57Speaker 1: into the show.
- 20:00Speaker 2: So Carmela, you know what's so funny?
- 20:05Speaker 1: I wonder if you know this, which is kind of
- 20:08Speaker 1: not good.
- 20:09Speaker 3: Okay.
- 20:10Speaker 1: Did you notice Carmella wasn't in Tokyo?
- 20:12Speaker 3: Well, of course I noticed.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Oh, no. Oh, oh, oh. No, like during the trip.
- 20:20Speaker 1: I forgot.
- 20:21Speaker 2: I didn't realize.
- 20:22Speaker 3: She was even a cast member?
- 20:24Speaker 1: Yes.
- 20:25Speaker 3: You're like, oh, this is the cast and Carmella's not there.
- 20:28Speaker 1: Oh, my.
- 20:29Speaker 2: I didn't know.
- 20:30Speaker 1: No, Alexis. Alexis, be honest.
- 20:32Speaker 2: Throughout the Tokyo trip, did you even think about Carmella?
- 20:36Speaker 1: No.
- 20:37Speaker 3: No, but I thought if she's not on this episode,
- 20:39Speaker 3: she's not getting paid for this episode. So that sucks.
- 20:45Speaker 1: When she popped up, I said, oh, that's right. Where
- 20:48Speaker 1: have you been?
- 20:49Speaker 3: We have an eighth housewife. Oops. Okay. Well, you're just
- 20:52Speaker 3: being honest. Well, I just thought, first of all, I
- 20:55Speaker 3: just thought this episode of the house of the Tokyo
- 20:57Speaker 3: trip was just really good. I really, I really liked
- 21:00Speaker 3: this episode. So I didn't, I didn't really, I wasn't,
- 21:03Speaker 3: it's not that I wasn't thinking of where's Carmela, but I,
- 21:05Speaker 3: it also wasn't, I was thinking. oh, we never missed Carmella.
- 21:08Speaker 3: So I don't know. It just stopped the episode.
- 21:11Speaker 1: I liked it. I liked it. So Carmella didn't go
- 21:14Speaker 1: on the trip because her glucose levels were really high.
- 21:16Speaker 1: And we know this based on other scenes where she
- 21:19Speaker 1: has to inject herself for that. And she started to
- 21:23Speaker 1: get emotional because she is concerned about where her life
- 21:29Speaker 1: is hitting. She said that she's still having problems with Danny.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Our daughter's 18 years old, is about to leave the
- 21:36Speaker 1: house and go to college. She also wonders whether or
- 21:38Speaker 1: not she really has set her kids up to have
- 21:42Speaker 1: an adult life. And she really starts to get emotional.
- 21:48Speaker 1: And it goes to show you, too, that she is
- 21:51Speaker 1: going through something real. And I do think when it
- 21:54Speaker 1: comes to her authenticity on the show, these sort of
- 21:57Speaker 1: conversations are important, which is why she is very likable
- 22:01Speaker 1: to the audience. And we all agree. Brady know that
- 22:06Speaker 1: it doesn't end well with Danny. They're not together. But
- 22:11Speaker 1: how did you feel about hearing her as a mom
- 22:16Speaker 1: talk about, like, pretty much having mom guilt?
- 22:19Speaker 3: I mean, it's just so real. I mean, every mom.
- 22:22Speaker 3: And I'm going to tell you something. Because I'm going
- 22:25Speaker 3: through it now with my kids all in college and
- 22:27Speaker 3: one's in the fire, you know, fire world, fire station
- 22:31Speaker 3: or fireman. It's like I'm. and married by the way,
- 22:34Speaker 3: on his own, but it is such a real, it's
- 22:37Speaker 3: almost like an identity crisis for yourself because you're like,
- 22:41Speaker 3: I've been known so much. I know I'm a working
- 22:43Speaker 3: woman also, but I've been known mostly as being a
- 22:45Speaker 3: mom and it's my number one thing. So I felt
- 22:48Speaker 3: for Carmela because I'm like, it's so real when you
- 22:50Speaker 3: think they're all leaving the nest. And it is weird
- 22:54Speaker 3: once they go to school, once they go to college,
- 22:56Speaker 3: it changes the dynamic completely. Because like Kenna's home right now,
- 22:59Speaker 3: she just got her wisdom teeth out and she's been
- 23:00Speaker 3: home for a week. But like, It's just different because
- 23:04Speaker 3: she's so grown up now and in her own world
- 23:06Speaker 3: after being a month at college. And it's not like
- 23:09Speaker 3: we're like, oh, well, she's also in bed with chipmunk
- 23:12Speaker 3: cheeks right now. But it's not like we're like, oh,
- 23:13Speaker 3: let's go shopping. Let's go to lunch. Let's go do this.
- 23:15Speaker 3: It's just different because she misses her college friends. So
- 23:18Speaker 3: I get it. Carmela knows what's coming. And it's like, oh,
- 23:21Speaker 3: my gosh, this is going to change the dynamic of
- 23:23Speaker 3: the family forever. for the rest of our forever. Now
- 23:26Speaker 3: you just have to find your new dynamic, which is
- 23:27Speaker 3: why it's an identity crisis for moms who are stay
- 23:31Speaker 3: at home. Moms are just, you know, the most main caretaker.
- 23:35Speaker 3: I'm going through it with her. I feel it. And
- 23:37Speaker 3: I felt sad for her. And I felt really sad
- 23:39Speaker 3: for her about, about Danny. I think that it's, I
- 23:41Speaker 3: think filming this show and you know, when you're in
- 23:44Speaker 3: the spotlight with producers there inside your world, it's really
- 23:49Speaker 3: hard just to act like everything's okay when it's not
- 23:51Speaker 3: because everything's kind of being brought up to the surface.
- 23:54Speaker 3: And it's like, oh, and I think in her mind,
- 23:56Speaker 3: she's like, I really have to look at this thing
- 23:59Speaker 3: with Danny. Like I have to look at what's going on.
- 24:02Speaker 3: And I, so I feel for her whole situation. I mean,
- 24:07Speaker 3: imagine her children are now growing up. I mean, she
- 24:09Speaker 3: still has three at home, I think, isn't it? Right.
- 24:11Speaker 3: The one's the one's 18 and going off, but she's
- 24:13Speaker 3: three more, but like she just lost that daughter to
- 24:16Speaker 3: school or is getting ready to, and then Danny. So
- 24:20Speaker 3: two losses all at one time. It's like, oof. Yeah.
- 24:24Speaker 1: It's tough. It's tough. It's tough. And I just think, wow,
- 24:27Speaker 1: what she's going through is so relatable. And I really
- 24:32Speaker 1: do like her a great deal.
- 24:33Speaker 3: And it's bringing a lot of light to diabetes too,
- 24:35Speaker 3: because I had no idea like what, I mean, you
- 24:38Speaker 3: always hear how horrible diabetes is, but you don't really
- 24:41Speaker 3: know unless you have someone in your world that suffers
- 24:44Speaker 3: from it and has to do all that. But like,
- 24:46Speaker 3: I can't even imagine like her watch going off four
- 24:48Speaker 3: times in the middle of the night because her glucose
- 24:50Speaker 3: is so high and she has to wake up and
- 24:51Speaker 3: go shoot herself and, and, you know, hope that she
- 24:53Speaker 3: doesn't hope that nothing bad happens and she ended up
- 24:56Speaker 3: in the hospital. It's just, it's tough.
- 24:59Speaker 1: It's really, it's really, really, really tough, but I really
- 25:02Speaker 1: do appreciate her authenticity and really just going there in
- 25:06Speaker 1: terms of what she's going through. Um, Jen had a
- 25:11Speaker 1: scene where she's coming out with a line of fitness
- 25:15Speaker 1: and And it is called Sexy Fitline.
- 25:19Speaker 3: I love it.
- 25:21Speaker 1: She's filming a workout video. And surprise, surprise, surprise. Gretchen
- 25:28Speaker 1: was there. I was shocked. Why? Because.
- 25:35Speaker 2: I mean, Alexis, hello, darling. I mean, based on.
- 25:42Speaker 1: This is so controversial, but I'll say it. based on
- 25:45Speaker 1: one of my favorite seasons of OC of all time,
- 25:48Speaker 1: last season.
- 25:50Speaker 2: Last season was great to me. And I know people,
- 25:53Speaker 2: I know people are like, eh, whatever.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Last season, me and Alexis literally would like scream every episode.
- 25:59Speaker 1: I digress. Whatever, leave me alone. So I thought based
- 26:04Speaker 1: on last season that that was the end of Gretchen.
- 26:08Speaker 1: So to see her pop up, I was surprised.
- 26:12Speaker 3: Well, notice they didn't invite her to any of the
- 26:14Speaker 3: all cast.
- 26:14Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 26:15Speaker 3: They didn't invite her to any others. They let her,
- 26:17Speaker 3: they let her slip into a workout video with Jen,
- 26:20Speaker 3: but you know, I don't know. I mean, I thought
- 26:23Speaker 3: I was, I wasn't surprised at all. I kind of
- 26:26Speaker 3: thought it fit and it was, it was good, you know?
- 26:28Speaker 3: And I love the name sexy fit, by the way,
- 26:30Speaker 3: I think Jen came up with, you know how she's saying,
- 26:32Speaker 3: they're going, I need to find something that works for me.
- 26:35Speaker 3: I was just like, go girl. Like that is the
- 26:37Speaker 3: one thing you have to figure out where to take this,
- 26:39Speaker 3: this opportunity while you have it.
- 26:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 26:42Speaker 3: Like we all know it's fleeting and it can go
- 26:45Speaker 3: great one year and then be gone the next.
- 26:46Speaker 1: So it's Carlos.
- 26:48Speaker 3: I'm so excited for us to, at the end of
- 26:50Speaker 3: this podcast, maybe we should wait until the reunion airs.
- 26:53Speaker 3: Do our little, our thing we do every, every season
- 26:56Speaker 3: about who's going and who's staying and see if we're right.
- 26:58Speaker 1: I can't wait. I can't wait.
- 27:00Speaker 3: Maybe we wait until after the reunion for that.
- 27:02Speaker 2: No, we can't.
- 27:03Speaker 1: We can't. I'll give you a little taste of it
- 27:05Speaker 1: based on the ending of the scene. Cause I'm still. Okay.
- 27:08Speaker 3: Well, let's, yeah.
- 27:09Speaker 1: I'm waiting.
- 27:10Speaker 3: No.
- 27:11Speaker 2: I was a prodigy, Gretchen. I agree with you.
- 27:14Speaker 1: Jen, if you ever wanted my advice, not that you're
- 27:19Speaker 1: asking for it, right? You will make a shitload of
- 27:24Speaker 1: money with this fitness line because that's you. That's her.
- 27:30Speaker 1: She has a great body. She's known for her workouts.
- 27:34Speaker 1: There's a lot of women, because I go to the gym,
- 27:37Speaker 1: as you know, every day. And when I say to you, Alexis,
- 27:42Speaker 1: the sort of apparel that women are wearing now at
- 27:45Speaker 1: the gym, it's sexier than ever. It is very unique.
- 27:50Speaker 1: And I'm always like impressed with like the style of
- 27:54Speaker 1: how these women are dressing, going to the gym, wearing
- 27:57Speaker 1: athletic wear. So I think Jen is on something. I
- 28:01Speaker 1: think this is something that is sustainable. And if I
- 28:05Speaker 1: were you, Jen, this could be your she buy charade.
- 28:09Speaker 1: This could be a line. If you're smart and you
- 28:14Speaker 1: really want to make money outside of your Bravo check,
- 28:20Speaker 1: I would have your sexy-ass man, Ryan... And you take
- 28:26Speaker 1: this to the next level doing like fitness conventions. Do
- 28:30Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, I think this was
- 28:33Speaker 1: a genius idea. Genius.
- 28:35Speaker 3: The first and best thing they could do, though, which
- 28:37Speaker 3: it requires money and it requires like really believing yourself, though,
- 28:41Speaker 3: is to drop it on a brand company and ask
- 28:43Speaker 3: them a branding company and ask them, how do we
- 28:45Speaker 3: brand this? And what is our logo and where do
- 28:47Speaker 3: we take it to the next level? Like you, it
- 28:49Speaker 3: really does benefit people. to invest that money to get
- 28:54Speaker 3: people who do this for a living with many different
- 28:56Speaker 3: companies to get behind you and say, here's what you
- 28:59Speaker 3: should do. Follow these rules. And here we go. You
- 29:01Speaker 3: have to really believe that because it's a lot of
- 29:04Speaker 3: money you drop. And as we all know, starting any
- 29:07Speaker 3: business requires a lot of upfront.
- 29:09Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 29:10Speaker 3: And I believe in her and I think she could
- 29:12Speaker 3: do it. I agree with you. I think it's her.
- 29:13Speaker 3: I think she found her thing.
- 29:15Speaker 1: Yeah. And Jan, I would wear this line every time
- 29:20Speaker 1: I'm filming. Every scene.
- 29:22Speaker 2: Of course, not a dinner scene.
- 29:23Speaker 3: That would get so annoying, though, to be in workout
- 29:25Speaker 3: clothes every scene.
- 29:26Speaker 1: No!
- 29:27Speaker 2: I'm not saying we're to the quiet woman.
- 29:29Speaker 3: Well, you said every scene. That's every scene.
- 29:33Speaker 1: I mean, like, I mean, like when you're like, Hey,
- 29:35Speaker 1: I got to talk shit about, you know, Gina.
- 29:39Speaker 3: The home scenes when you're with your kids or when
- 29:40Speaker 3: you're with one other housewife or you're, when you're going
- 29:42Speaker 3: out to coffee or when you're cleaning your house and
- 29:45Speaker 3: they're getting you clean your house. Like you're yeah.
- 29:47Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah.
- 29:48Speaker 3: All the other scenes that aren't like with when you're
- 29:50Speaker 3: out at a nice restaurant.
- 29:52Speaker 1: Exactly. And then on top of that, again, I'm giving
- 29:54Speaker 1: you free advice. Take a gin. And Raindrops, tag Jen
- 29:58Speaker 1: to tell her. Carlos can give you some great advice.
- 30:00Speaker 1: Listen to it.
- 30:01Speaker 3: And Alexis, hello.
- 30:02Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- 30:04Speaker 3: Yeah, tag her on me too.
- 30:07Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
- 30:08Speaker 3: By the way, funny story. One of my houses that
- 30:11Speaker 3: I was looking to... Oh, never mind. I'm not talking
- 30:13Speaker 3: about that. Never mind.
- 30:14Speaker 1: Okay. I know.
- 30:14Speaker 2: I was going to say, I thought we weren't talking
- 30:17Speaker 2: about that.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Okay. Moving forward. I was like, we don't look like Alexis.
- 30:21Speaker 3: I was like, we were like having a private conversation.
- 30:23Speaker 3: I forgot there was just too many listeners in on this.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Okay.
- 30:26Speaker 2: Here we go. So, Rae Drops.
- 30:30Speaker 3: Never mind.
- 30:31Speaker 1: Action.
- 30:32Speaker 2: And say to her, Carlos and Alexis, because, you know, listen.
- 30:38Speaker 1: You don't know this, and it's fine. You know the
- 30:41Speaker 1: OC Housewives, they begrudgingly are like, what the fuck are
- 30:47Speaker 1: these two saying about this episode? You know that, right? So,
- 30:53Speaker 1: tell Jen to listen to this episode because Alexis and
- 30:59Speaker 1: I are giving her good advice. My last advice would
- 31:01Speaker 1: be this, Jen. Every time you wear the outfit on
- 31:05Speaker 1: camera and they air it, Post that scene on your
- 31:11Speaker 1: Instagram page and tell people where to buy it from.
- 31:14Speaker 1: There you go.
- 31:15Speaker 3: Wow. All great advice. And let's keep in mind that
- 31:18Speaker 3: we do like her and we do talk well about
- 31:20Speaker 3: her on these episodes. I like her. When they do
- 31:24Speaker 3: DM her about this, the raindrops do DM her, then
- 31:28Speaker 3: we can also let her know that if this is
- 31:30Speaker 3: the only episode she listens to, we do talk highly
- 31:33Speaker 3: about you, Jen.
- 31:34Speaker 1: We talk highly about everybody.
- 31:38Speaker 3: Well, highly in different versions of people, I guess. Different
- 31:42Speaker 3: versions of highly, I mean. Different versions of highly about people. Okay.
- 31:45Speaker 1: Alexis.
- 31:47Speaker 3: Highly good or highly bad? Which highly are we talking about?
- 31:49Speaker 3: Because if it involves someone with an HD screen on
- 31:53Speaker 3: their TV, then we know what Carlos is.
- 31:57Speaker 2: Don't do it. Not Alexis.
- 31:59Speaker 1: This is a Carlos. Oh, please, Alexis. You have your moments.
- 32:03Speaker 2: I will say.
- 32:04Speaker 1: Oh, I have my moments.
- 32:05Speaker 3: And I got it all out there. And I think...
- 32:06Speaker 3: John really got it all out there.
- 32:12Speaker 1: We are highly critical, but also highly complimentary. Okay.
- 32:18Speaker 3: There we go.
- 32:18Speaker 1: Okay. Moving on. Speaking of highly critical. Oh, geez.
- 32:25Speaker 3: Are we at the final episode? Are we at the
- 32:26Speaker 3: final scene? I'm on the edge of my seat. I'm like.
- 32:30Speaker 1: I know.
- 32:30Speaker 3: I know.
- 32:30Speaker 1: I know.
- 32:31Speaker 3: I can't wait.
- 32:31Speaker 1: Okay.
- 32:32Speaker 3: Stop.
- 32:35Speaker 1: Tamara is meeting with Vicky. So she's with Vicky and
- 32:38Speaker 1: the girls. Tamara wants to make sure that her and
- 32:42Speaker 1: Vicky are good. And Tamara's like, look, we had our moment.
- 32:50Speaker 1: You apologize. I appreciate it. I would like for you
- 32:55Speaker 1: to know that I said something in my anger based
- 33:00Speaker 1: on what Emily told me you.
- 33:01Speaker 2: Said about me and Sidney.
- 33:04Speaker 1: I did say, hey, why is she worried about me
- 33:07Speaker 1: and Sydney when her and Brianna are speaking? And Vicky's like,
- 33:12Speaker 1: that's not true. That's not true. Who told you that?
- 33:15Speaker 1: That's not true.
- 33:16Speaker 3: What?
- 33:17Speaker 2: She has four kids.
- 33:19Speaker 1: We're good. We are good. We're not doing this. Why
- 33:21Speaker 1: are you doing this? What are we doing? So Vicky's like,
- 33:26Speaker 1: let's just, Vicky's like, I will do whatever it takes
- 33:30Speaker 1: to not address this. whatever could be happening between me
- 33:34Speaker 1: and my daughter, she created a whole deflection of like,
- 33:39Speaker 1: let's dance. Let's party. Let me see you laugh. Let
- 33:41Speaker 1: me do all these things to sort of like detract
- 33:43Speaker 1: from the conversation. And I thought that was hilarious. I'm
- 33:46Speaker 1: going to give it to Vicky. I actually laughed when
- 33:48Speaker 1: she was doing that. But I will say this. I
- 33:51Speaker 1: appreciate Tamra for saying, I will let you know on
- 33:54Speaker 1: camera what I said when you weren't there. Versus someone
- 34:00Speaker 1: else telling you, because we know how this show works,
- 34:03Speaker 1: Game of Telephone. And without you seeing it.
- 34:08Speaker 3: On air.
- 34:09Speaker 1: So, kudos to Tamara for that.
- 34:13Speaker 3: Well, yeah, but again, okay, I will too. But to.
- 34:17Speaker 3: To parlay on that because this is what I keep
- 34:18Speaker 3: saying every time you give kudos to this. It's not
- 34:21Speaker 3: a lot of kudos when they know they're going to
- 34:22Speaker 3: get busted because if she doesn't, if Tamara doesn't bring
- 34:25Speaker 3: it up to Vicky right now, then by the reunion,
- 34:27Speaker 3: Vicky's going to have seen it and then it's going
- 34:29Speaker 3: to be a big blow up at the reunion. So
- 34:31Speaker 3: it's kind of like when you slip up and all
- 34:33Speaker 3: of us do, if there's any housewife on any of
- 34:35Speaker 3: the franchises in this sorority of housewives, if any of
- 34:39Speaker 3: them say, I've never said anything I regret on camera, okay,
- 34:42Speaker 3: you are lying from the pit of hell and you
- 34:44Speaker 3: are also going to hell because you're lying. But, But
- 34:48Speaker 3: I mean, when you do slip up, you do have
- 34:50Speaker 3: to own it. You have to go and own it
- 34:52Speaker 3: because it's on camera, you know, and just say you're sorry.
- 34:55Speaker 3: And I'm glad that they did.
- 34:56Speaker 1: I liked it.
- 34:57Speaker 3: They tried to kiss at the end. I love seeing
- 34:59Speaker 3: a tipsy Heather. I thought that was just fun and
- 35:02Speaker 3: funny and hilarious. And like, I agree with Tamara. I
- 35:05Speaker 3: want more of a smashy pants than a, what would
- 35:08Speaker 3: she call her? Smashy pants and fancy pants or like
- 35:11Speaker 3: tipsy pants and whatever she called it. But I was like, yeah,
- 35:13Speaker 3: I love it. So I don't know. I mean, I mean,
- 35:16Speaker 3: but here's the deal. If you're coming at me with
- 35:18Speaker 3: my kid about my kid, like in Tamara's defense, if
- 35:21Speaker 3: you're coming at me with my kid, then all bets
- 35:23Speaker 3: are off and you better watch out. Like, it's like,
- 35:25Speaker 3: that is where it's below the belt. And I think
- 35:27Speaker 3: that's where Tamara finally got like just overwhelmed with emotion.
- 35:31Speaker 3: And she didn't actually have a knee jerk reaction, like
- 35:34Speaker 3: throwing a napkin in a face. She just accidentally slipped
- 35:36Speaker 3: up and said, well, let's ask her if Brianna and
- 35:38Speaker 3: her talking, you know, I think she did fine.
- 35:43Speaker 1: But here's the deal, though. What you and I both
- 35:45Speaker 1: have seen this season is, yes, you would want someone
- 35:50Speaker 1: to acknowledge that I said on camera, let me get
- 35:53Speaker 1: in front of it, but they don't do that, right?
- 35:55Speaker 1: They don't do it.
- 35:56Speaker 3: Oh, you're saying some women don't on this season, right?
- 36:00Speaker 1: They just don't. Unless they're called to the carpet for it,
- 36:05Speaker 1: they just don't even address it. So that's why I
- 36:08Speaker 1: appreciated her at least for being smart enough to say, Fuck,
- 36:12Speaker 1: let me get in front of it. Because I do
- 36:14Speaker 1: think she wanted to let Vicky know, I did say
- 36:17Speaker 1: this behind her back. And before, look, before Emily, the
- 36:21Speaker 1: bone collector, tells you it makes it bigger than what
- 36:25Speaker 1: it is, I will tell you first. Because even when
- 36:28Speaker 1: Heather apologized to Carmella, it's because, to your point, Heather
- 36:34Speaker 1: found out on camera that they're talking about it. And
- 36:37Speaker 1: she's like, well, fuck. Now I gotta like apologize to
- 36:40Speaker 1: this woman. Versus saying, hey, before anyone tells you this,
- 36:44Speaker 1: I did say this about you off camera.
- 36:46Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 36:46Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 36:46Speaker 3: That's totally different. You're right. It's a different setup. Yeah.
- 36:50Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 36:52Speaker 2: Okay.
- 36:52Speaker 1: The moment y'all be waiting for.
- 36:54Speaker 3: Please tell me.
- 36:55Speaker 1: Please.
- 36:56Speaker 3: Because we don't agree on the end. I guess because
- 36:59Speaker 3: I don't even have, I don't have any of the
- 37:00Speaker 3: feelings that you're about to share. Okay.
- 37:03Speaker 1: I need a new cast.
- 37:05Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. You're, what?
- 37:09Speaker 1: I'm not saying everybody needs to be new. Let me
- 37:12Speaker 1: talk about it.
- 37:14Speaker 3: Every season, they need to switch it up a little.
- 37:16Speaker 1: They need more than three people gone. So let me
- 37:18Speaker 1: talk about it.
- 37:18Speaker 3: Yes, please.
- 37:22Speaker 1: So apparently, Alexis, out of nowhere, out of the blue sky,
- 37:31Speaker 1: out of thin air, Jennifer feels... Jennifer... May I remind you,
- 37:38Speaker 1: I complimented you before this statement. So, hey, leave me alone. Okay.
- 37:47Speaker 1: I love you, though. Now Jennifer is questioning whether or
- 37:53Speaker 1: not Tamara really wants to be her friend. And if
- 37:59Speaker 1: she's asked, I can't even get it out. I'm so, like,
- 38:03Speaker 1: annoyed by this. She's wondering if Tamara's being nice to
- 38:08Speaker 1: her and asking her to take pictures because she wants
- 38:11Speaker 1: to get Heather jealous.
- 38:13Speaker 3: Okay, now I did agree that was dorky. I don't
- 38:15Speaker 3: understand why anyone would think that on the entire cast,
- 38:17Speaker 3: but the whole cast jumped on board with it. But
- 38:19Speaker 3: I don't agree.
- 38:20Speaker 1: Because it's what you and I both said earlier, and
- 38:25Speaker 1: this scene made me realize, I said, you know what?
- 38:31Speaker 2: We need fresh story. That's why I would give it
- 38:33Speaker 2: to Carmella.
- 38:34Speaker 1: You mean to tell me that this is the preseason finale.
- 38:41Speaker 2: And the drama that I have to expect.
- 38:46Speaker 1: Is you guys wondering if the reason why Tamara is
- 38:51Speaker 1: nice to Jen is to make Heather jealous. I'm like,
- 38:55Speaker 1: am I watching Saved by the Bell? Am I watching
- 38:59Speaker 1: Dawson's Creek? Am I watching my so-called life? Am I
- 39:05Speaker 1: watching a show based on high school kids who are
- 39:08Speaker 1: worried about a friendship that is only valuable to make
- 39:14Speaker 1: the next person jealous? I can tell you why Tamra's
- 39:17Speaker 1: being nice to you, Jen, if you want to talk
- 39:19Speaker 1: about it. It's because she's being told, we don't want
- 39:23Speaker 1: Bill and Tamra this season. Can you get along with everybody?
- 39:26Speaker 1: She's trying to get along with you because she has
- 39:29Speaker 1: a mandate to be nice. Which is why she told
- 39:32Speaker 1: Bryce Sanders of Entertainment Tonight how one of you guys,
- 39:36Speaker 1: or more than one of you guys, actually said to her,
- 39:39Speaker 1: when are you going to do your thing? And she's like,
- 39:42Speaker 1: what are you talking about? You know that thing you
- 39:44Speaker 1: do that gets everyone activated.
- 39:46Speaker 3: It's called being real. It's called not being muzzled.
- 39:49Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. So the one season where she's like, hey,
- 39:53Speaker 1: I'm taking a backseat to this shit. Let me get
- 39:55Speaker 1: along with everybody.
- 39:58Speaker 3: Now they want the other Tamara.
- 40:00Speaker 1: When I say to you, it infuriated me because I
- 40:02Speaker 1: was like, what the fuck do y'all want?
- 40:05Speaker 3: Right. Pick a lane and go. Here's another one. I
- 40:10Speaker 3: am frustrated with you now too. Thank you very much
- 40:12Speaker 3: for getting my blood pressure high. Now I need my blood, honey,
- 40:15Speaker 3: bring my blood pressure cuff. Anyway, no, I'm kidding. But anyway,
- 40:25Speaker 3: he's not even here. So I was joking. That was
- 40:26Speaker 3: all acting, but this is, this is something I want
- 40:30Speaker 3: you to think about. Okay.
- 40:31Speaker 1: Are you ready? Yeah.
- 40:32Speaker 3: Okay. I feel like this season, Whether it was, whether
- 40:37Speaker 3: what I'm about to say is producers putting this in
- 40:41Speaker 3: them a little bit and saying, this is kind of
- 40:42Speaker 3: what we want for season 20, whether it's that the
- 40:46Speaker 3: women are just having a little bit of PTSD from
- 40:49Speaker 3: all the other seasons, or whether it's just, they're more
- 40:53Speaker 3: interested in being, well, this is what it's about. Are
- 40:56Speaker 3: they more interested in just being friends and creating a
- 40:58Speaker 3: TV show? So that's what I feel like. They're more
- 41:01Speaker 3: interested in just, let's have a real friendship and not
- 41:03Speaker 3: worry about the show second, because It's like they're all
- 41:08Speaker 3: they're all acting like their best friends when we really
- 41:11Speaker 3: know deep down they probably aren't. But they're not if
- 41:14Speaker 3: they're not bringing the activated Real Housewives of Orange County
- 41:18Speaker 3: that we like to see. So is that that the
- 41:20Speaker 3: producers you would know more about this than me? Is
- 41:22Speaker 3: that they're getting a little bit of a, you know,
- 41:25Speaker 3: little bit from the higher ups saying, let's keep it
- 41:27Speaker 3: a calm season? Is it that they truly just want
- 41:29Speaker 3: to be friends? Or is it that they have PTSD
- 41:31Speaker 3: in their overall the stupid napkin throwing kind of drama?
- 41:35Speaker 3: What is it?
- 41:35Speaker 1: A little bit of all of that, right? I definitely think, listen,
- 41:38Speaker 1: it's pretty obvious that last season was in a lot
- 41:44Speaker 1: of people's mind. I just got a fourth one.
- 41:46Speaker 3: I've got to hear this because this goes in your
- 41:48Speaker 3: brain because you're going to give us, you have more
- 41:50Speaker 3: knowledge on this. Or is it that the higher ups
- 41:53Speaker 3: are doing this because they want to keep it kumbaya
- 41:58Speaker 3: so there's no cliffhangers because they are going to recast,
- 42:01Speaker 3: like you were saying, they need to get rid of
- 42:02Speaker 3: three or four. Maybe that's it, Carlos. Maybe that's it.
- 42:07Speaker 1: Okay. This is what I think. I think based on
- 42:14Speaker 1: the perception that last season was dark, this had to
- 42:19Speaker 1: be a lighter season, especially because it's celebrating 20 years
- 42:23Speaker 1: of this season, right? So to me, it's an obvious
- 42:30Speaker 1: sort of like paintbrush, right? In terms of lighter, more fun,
- 42:36Speaker 1: Vicky's back, let's get back to whatever. And I think
- 42:41Speaker 1: a lot of them took that maybe a little bit
- 42:44Speaker 1: too far, right? I think Tamara, rightfully so, said, fine,
- 42:51Speaker 1: I'll do it. Like, no one appreciates me giving y'all
- 42:54Speaker 1: good television. So, okay, let's see these other women do it, right?
- 42:58Speaker 1: And they failed miserably, the other women who can't hold
- 43:02Speaker 1: a candle to Tamra Judge. With that being said, I.
- 43:10Speaker 2: Don't think that this was a.
- 43:15Speaker 1: Thing to make a cliffhanger where we don't know what's
- 43:21Speaker 1: going to happen next season with the cast. I think
- 43:24Speaker 1: every season you go in making the strongest cast you
- 43:27Speaker 1: can so you don't have to cast three more people.
- 43:32Speaker 1: So I don't think that. I think what's happening is this.
- 43:37Speaker 1: I think these women don't know how to be friends
- 43:46Speaker 1: but also call each other out and remain friends after
- 43:49Speaker 1: doing so.
- 43:51Speaker 3: Where Tamara does. Tamara can do it. Tamara can be like, Yeah.
- 43:55Speaker 3: We're here for a show.
- 43:55Speaker 1: Yeah. And when I look back on the legacy of
- 44:01Speaker 1: this show, when you were on it, do you know
- 44:04Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, we've seen you guys go through
- 44:08Speaker 1: some shit.
- 44:09Speaker 3: Yes.
- 44:09Speaker 1: And we've seen you guys work your way back, but
- 44:11Speaker 1: then call each other out. And one thing I will always,
- 44:14Speaker 1: I will always, always, always say this. When Alex Baskin,
- 44:18Speaker 1: the EP of the show, was on Kay Casey's podcast,
- 44:22Speaker 1: because his company produces Beverly Hills and OC. And this
- 44:27Speaker 1: will always remain in my memory when I talk about
- 44:29Speaker 1: those two shows. He said the Beverly Hills women is a...
- 44:34Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing. I'm paraphrasing. But he said that the Beverly
- 44:38Speaker 1: Hills women, that producers struggle to get them to call
- 44:43Speaker 1: each other out. Like, it's a lot of work to
- 44:46Speaker 1: do it because that's not what they do. He said,
- 44:49Speaker 1: but OC!
- 44:49Speaker 3: Oh!
- 44:51Speaker 1: He said, oh, see? And this was back in 2018.
- 44:58Speaker 2: So eight years ago he said this. He said, but oh, see?
- 45:02Speaker 1: Oh, there's not ever a problem with those ladies calling
- 45:06Speaker 1: each other out. And I think what has happened with
- 45:09Speaker 1: this current cast, I think they are playing the game
- 45:14Speaker 1: of telephone because they don't have what it takes to
- 45:22Speaker 1: have real conversations in front of each other's faces. And
- 45:26Speaker 1: I think that will be the reason why we may
- 45:30Speaker 1: see some changes. I'm hoping we see some. I don't
- 45:33Speaker 1: think it needs to be like a big overhaul, but
- 45:35Speaker 1: I definitely think we need some new blood here, babe.
- 45:37Speaker 3: And tell us, because I was going to say let's
- 45:39Speaker 3: wait until after the reunion, but now we're only three
- 45:41Speaker 3: episodes away from the end of the reunion, so we
- 45:43Speaker 3: can do it again at the end of the reunion.
- 45:45Speaker 3: But tell me who... After this, because you had such
- 45:48Speaker 3: a strong feeling at the end of this episode, tell
- 45:51Speaker 3: me who you think needs to go and who should stay.
- 45:53Speaker 2: I think Shannon needs to be a friend. You know,
- 45:56Speaker 2: Shannon doesn't have a personal story.
- 45:58Speaker 3: You don't think gone all the way you think she
- 46:00Speaker 3: should stay a friend of?
- 46:03Speaker 1: If I had it my way, she'll be gone. But
- 46:05Speaker 1: I'm also being realistic. I don't think they'll fire her.
- 46:09Speaker 1: So whatever. And I'm not promoting someone should get fired.
- 46:11Speaker 1: But actually, take it how you want. I'm here to
- 46:14Speaker 1: talk about what I think about what the show needs.
- 46:17Speaker 2: I think Shannon's schtick, I'm over it.
- 46:24Speaker 1: And I don't think Shannon has had a great personal
- 46:27Speaker 1: story since she divorced David. Even when she was dealing with... Okay,
- 46:35Speaker 1: let me stop myself because I'm wrong. The last interesting
- 46:39Speaker 1: personal storyline Shannon had was when you came on that
- 46:43Speaker 1: season and And it was about the whole situation with
- 46:47Speaker 1: your now husband. Like that to me was, and I'm
- 46:50Speaker 1: not saying this because we're friends. You know how I feel.
- 46:53Speaker 1: That season was fucking stellar.
- 46:57Speaker 2: Stellar.
- 46:58Speaker 3: At my expense.
- 47:00Speaker 1: At your expense, unfortunately, my love. It was a great season.
- 47:03Speaker 3: If you had really shown the truth, then it would have,
- 47:07Speaker 3: it would have been, it would have, you know, been
- 47:10Speaker 3: a little, go ahead.
- 47:12Speaker 1: It was a great season. Um, I just think Shannon
- 47:15Speaker 1: doesn't have any personal story to talk about. I think
- 47:17Speaker 1: she should be demoted. Heather doesn't live in... Heather does
- 47:21Speaker 1: not live in OC. Why is she there?
- 47:26Speaker 2: But again, I understand.
- 47:27Speaker 3: She lived here for a lot of years. And by
- 47:30Speaker 3: the way, don't you think they need her? Don't they need.
- 47:33Speaker 2: I was going to say that. She brings the wealth.
- 47:36Speaker 3: She brings some.
- 47:37Speaker 1: Yeah. I get it. I get it. I get it.
- 47:42Speaker 2: Unpopular opinion.
- 47:43Speaker 1: I don't care. I love Gina and I love Emily.
- 47:45Speaker 2: I like them.
- 47:48Speaker 3: Do you think they should stay now? Because at the
- 47:50Speaker 3: beginning of the season, you said they should go. I
- 47:52Speaker 3: didn't say they should go. It was last season we
- 47:57Speaker 3: did these episodes.
- 47:58Speaker 1: I said split them up.
- 48:00Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
- 48:02Speaker 2: I said split them up. I will say this. I'm sorry, guys.
- 48:07Speaker 1: Emily is giving us some great personal story. I'm invested
- 48:11Speaker 1: in her and Shane's marriage. I want to see what happens.
- 48:14Speaker 3: Can I ask you something about that before we get
- 48:16Speaker 3: to who else you think need to move on? Why
- 48:18Speaker 3: do her and Shane always only film their scene in
- 48:20Speaker 3: their kitchen and neither of them are eating? Do they
- 48:23Speaker 3: not have any other room in the house like that
- 48:24Speaker 3: they could? Are they? go to the living room, go
- 48:26Speaker 3: have a cup of tea, go take a stroll, go
- 48:28Speaker 3: sit in the backyard. I'm like, why is it ever,
- 48:31Speaker 3: or maybe it's just the way it works, but I'm
- 48:32Speaker 3: like production. I am so sick of seeing their kitchen
- 48:35Speaker 3: or throw some crackers out on the counter so that
- 48:37Speaker 3: we're looking at crackers or something.
- 48:39Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, but okay.
- 48:43Speaker 3: So go ahead. You were saying about their marriage. You're
- 48:44Speaker 3: invested in that.
- 48:45Speaker 1: Okay. I like Emily.
- 48:46Speaker 3: Okay.
- 48:48Speaker 1: I like Emily Gina and I'm not apologizing for it.
- 48:50Speaker 1: Emily Gina stays. Okay. Tamara stays.
- 48:57Speaker 3: Okay.
- 48:58Speaker 1: Carmella stays. Okay.
- 49:03Speaker 2: Jen stays.
- 49:03Speaker 1: Okay. That's five women. Shannon Shannon Shannon demoted.
- 49:14Speaker 3: Okay.
- 49:18Speaker 1: Vicky thank you for 20 of seasons. Vicky's not into the... Sorry, listen.
- 49:23Speaker 1: I personally don't have an issue with Vicky. Vicky doesn't
- 49:27Speaker 1: like filming this particular show anymore, and let's put her
- 49:30Speaker 1: out of her misery. Okay, is that all? She doesn't
- 49:34Speaker 1: like the show, the job anymore.
- 49:35Speaker 3: Okay. Okay. Okay.
- 49:36Speaker 1: Is that all the girls?
- 49:37Speaker 3: Have you done all of them? That would mean, okay.
- 49:39Speaker 3: I'm going to go back to Vicky. I want to
- 49:41Speaker 3: go back to Vicky. Go ahead.
- 49:42Speaker 1: Heather. Okay. As of now, the ones who I believe
- 49:45Speaker 1: should stay is Emily, Gina, Tamara, Carmela, Jen. That's one, two, three, four, five.
- 49:49Speaker 1: That's five housewives. Heather can stay. So that's six. Heather,
- 49:56Speaker 1: leave me alone. You can stay. Six housewives. Give me
- 50:00Speaker 1: two more women.
- 50:01Speaker 3: He threw you a bone.
- 50:02Speaker 1: He threw you a bone.
- 50:03Speaker 2: Beverly Hills has eight.
- 50:05Speaker 1: Beverly Hills has eight women. They got Lee Remini and
- 50:09Speaker 1: Tracy Tudor to give us eight Beverly Hills girlies. Okay. Okay,
- 50:15Speaker 1: go ahead.
- 50:16Speaker 3: So going, okay, by the way, I was like, okay, Heather,
- 50:19Speaker 3: Carlos just gave you a prop, props right there. So
- 50:22Speaker 3: he doesn't always, he gives props where props are due. Okay.
- 50:26Speaker 3: I'm not even going to comment until after the reunion
- 50:27Speaker 3: on if I think you're right.
- 50:28Speaker 1: Oh, you are so shady. Why are you going to
- 50:31Speaker 1: have me?
- 50:31Speaker 2: Alexis, you are so shady.
- 50:33Speaker 1: How are you going to have me do it and
- 50:34Speaker 1: not you do it?
- 50:35Speaker 3: Okay. I'll just say.
- 50:37Speaker 1: No, no, no, no.
- 50:38Speaker 3: You can go.
- 50:40Speaker 1: Actually, if you want, it's actually interesting. You can wait
- 50:45Speaker 1: until after the reunion.
- 50:47Speaker 3: Why don't I write it down on a piece of
- 50:48Speaker 3: paper right now? And then we'll see who's, and I
- 50:51Speaker 3: won't even tell you what I think. And then we'll
- 50:54Speaker 3: see if I agree with it or not after the reunion. Okay,
- 50:56Speaker 3: let me write it down real quick.
- 50:57Speaker 1: I love a cliffhanger.
- 50:59Speaker 3: Look, I'm writing it on Kenneth College when I was
- 51:00Speaker 3: doing some things. I'm writing on the back of the
- 51:02Speaker 3: envelope so everyone knows when I turn this over tomorrow
- 51:05Speaker 3: or next week or at the end in three weeks. Okay,
- 51:07Speaker 3: I'm gonna write down who stays and who goes. Okay,
- 51:14Speaker 3: I'm gonna say Okay. Okay. And then I want to
- 51:19Speaker 3: go about Vicky real quick. I want to talk, I
- 51:21Speaker 3: can talk about her while I, um, okay. So I
- 51:25Speaker 3: just did it. I will, I will let you guys
- 51:27Speaker 3: see this next week. Um, or no three weeks from now,
- 51:31Speaker 3: but I, for Vicky, for me, I feel like you
- 51:37Speaker 3: had Andy Cohen on all the, by the way, raindrops
- 51:40Speaker 3: go back and listen to him and Andy Cohen. Cause
- 51:42Speaker 3: I liked the insight Andy gave about Vicky. I loved
- 51:45Speaker 3: the part where Vicky, Andy did not throw her under
- 51:48Speaker 3: the bus, did not say, yeah, she's being negative, didn't
- 51:50Speaker 3: buy into everything that he's hearing behind the scenes from everyone, right,
- 51:54Speaker 3: on all the, you know, Instagram and just all the
- 51:57Speaker 3: ratings of what people are saying about her. I agree
- 52:01Speaker 3: with him. He said, look, if we would have had
- 52:03Speaker 3: them not film back-to-back, because she said they started filming
- 52:06Speaker 3: three weeks after, and I've said this all along, Carlos.
- 52:08Speaker 3: I said she bit off more than she could chew.
- 52:09Speaker 3: It's a lot to go back and film one full-time
- 52:11Speaker 3: reality show, let alone do a girls' trip, which is
- 52:14Speaker 3: a freaking– They are moving and shakalacking and going from
- 52:18Speaker 3: A to B to Z. And you don't get a
- 52:19Speaker 3: moment off that entire 14 days or however many they went.
- 52:22Speaker 3: So then she comes back from that. She doesn't even
- 52:24Speaker 3: get a breath. And then she's filming a full-time reality
- 52:26Speaker 3: show again. So I just, I agree with him that
- 52:28Speaker 3: it's like, look, I think the audience would have a
- 52:30Speaker 3: different feel about her if we would have split it up.
- 52:34Speaker 3: So that's what I'm going to say. And I'm going
- 52:36Speaker 3: to defend Vicky and I'm going to just give you
- 52:38Speaker 3: a little, my two cents and I don't care if
- 52:40Speaker 3: it's popular or not. And I'm the only thing I'm
- 52:42Speaker 3: going to say about my poll that we're going to
- 52:44Speaker 3: do after the reunion, is I think Vicky should stay.
- 52:48Speaker 3: I love her. She brings something different to the show.
- 52:51Speaker 3: And I'm not saying this because she's my friend, because
- 52:52Speaker 3: I've cracked on them all before, even if they are
- 52:55Speaker 3: my friend. But there's something about watching her, even when
- 52:58Speaker 3: she's being negative Nancy a little bit in certain scenes
- 53:01Speaker 3: or wants to get her laptop out. There's just something
- 53:04Speaker 3: I like to watch.
- 53:06Speaker 2: She's, no, listen, she's interesting, right? The issue is this
- 53:11Speaker 2: for me.
- 53:13Speaker 1: Number one, if you guys haven't listened or watched my
- 53:16Speaker 1: Andy Cohen interview, please do so. Thank you. Thank you,
- 53:21Speaker 1: my love. I agree with you that she's interesting to watch.
- 53:26Speaker 1: And I agree with you. I will go as far
- 53:29Speaker 1: as saying this. Without Vicky this season, holy fuck.
- 53:32Speaker 3: You said that.
- 53:33Speaker 1: You said that before.
- 53:34Speaker 3: So then why do you want to see her go?
- 53:35Speaker 1: Because I'm going to tell you why. I can't muster
- 53:39Speaker 1: another season of this. I just think this. She doesn't want... Listen,
- 53:45Speaker 1: you know this too. She doesn't want to fight.
- 53:48Speaker 2: She doesn't. And guess what?
- 53:52Speaker 1: She's earned the right to feel that way. I don't... Listen,
- 53:55Speaker 1: I don't think anybody should stay on a show or
- 54:00Speaker 1: any job without doing your best. I think 20 years later...
- 54:06Speaker 1: It's not the show anymore that she wants love. And
- 54:09Speaker 1: I think the only reason why she would stay is
- 54:11Speaker 1: for the ego of having an orange. I do find
- 54:15Speaker 1: her interesting. But she's always going to put her laptop out.
- 54:19Speaker 1: She's always going to say, I don't want to talk
- 54:20Speaker 1: about this shit, guys. Why are you guys bringing this
- 54:23Speaker 1: up to me? I don't know. I want somebody to
- 54:27Speaker 1: go toe-to-toe with Tamra. My favorite season two... was when Jen,
- 54:34Speaker 1: and this was a fucking fact in this episode, honey,
- 54:36Speaker 1: and I even told Tamra, I said, Tamra, I love you.
- 54:40Speaker 1: Jen got you together, bitch. Jen was good. When Jen
- 54:43Speaker 1: stormed in that hotel room and said, bitch, don't talk
- 54:47Speaker 1: about me, my fucking man. You're talking about Ryan.
- 54:50Speaker 3: No, you're, she goes, where'd they flash back to that? You're,
- 54:53Speaker 3: you're doing a background check on Ryan. Like that was, yeah, yeah. Yes.
- 54:58Speaker 1: And Tamra was like, bring it, bitch. I want somebody that.
- 55:03Speaker 3: That was authentic, though. That's what you're missing.
- 55:05Speaker 2: It's not taking- That's my point.
- 55:06Speaker 3: It's authentic- That's my point.
- 55:09Speaker 1: Real moments. Yeah. Okay. Vicky is not going to give
- 55:12Speaker 1: us an authentic, real moment with a sparring. She's not
- 55:18Speaker 1: doing it, Alexis. I know.
- 55:20Speaker 3: You're right. Okay, so I see. I will tell you
- 55:22Speaker 3: when you're right, but there's still enough of her quirkiness
- 55:25Speaker 3: and her authenticity of just being who Vicky is that
- 55:29Speaker 3: to me- Doesn't matter. She can, she can.
- 55:31Speaker 2: Give me the OC Rachel Zeldin, honey.
- 55:33Speaker 1: That's cheaper. I'm sorry. I'm not giving you a passing
- 55:37Speaker 1: grade for doing the bare minimum. No, no, no.
- 55:43Speaker 2: Cass, Cass, Cass, I forgot her name.
- 55:48Speaker 1: Shit. Give me a second. She was on the show
- 55:51Speaker 1: selling the OC. She was the star of the show.
- 55:58Speaker 1: Her name starts with an A. Alex Hall. Oh, okay.
- 56:02Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay. Keep going.
- 56:03Speaker 1: No, but go ahead. Alex Hall is this gorgeous blonde woman.
- 56:09Speaker 1: She was the star of the show. She has so
- 56:13Speaker 1: much teeth. She's a boss. She's professional. She's young. And
- 56:21Speaker 1: she tells it like it is. Carlos King is advocating
- 56:25Speaker 1: for the Real Housewives of Orange County to cast Alex
- 56:30Speaker 1: Hall from Selling the OC. She belongs on that show.
- 56:35Speaker 1: She is gorgeous, funny, witty, and she means business. And
- 56:40Speaker 1: I will go as far as saying this. She to
- 56:44Speaker 1: me is the daughter of Tamara Judge as a reality
- 56:48Speaker 1: TV star. Alex Hall has it, bitch.
- 56:51Speaker 3: Oh, okay. I just Googled her. Yeah, because I had to. Beautiful, right? Yeah,
- 56:55Speaker 3: beautiful and looks like from here she has charisma, has
- 56:58Speaker 3: a style. Love it. would she want to number one
- 57:01Speaker 3: and number two, I was okay.
- 57:05Speaker 1: Well, that was fast.
- 57:06Speaker 3: I will fall out of my chair. If next season
- 57:10Speaker 3: we're here and she's on the cast, I'm going to
- 57:12Speaker 3: be like, God, Carlos, they do listen to our podcast.
- 57:17Speaker 3: Alex and Andy, Alex Cohen, or Alex, Alex, Alex Cohen,
- 57:23Speaker 3: do listen to you on this. Wow. I'm just going
- 57:27Speaker 3: to die. Okay.
- 57:28Speaker 1: Well, I think that's what this show needs. And the
- 57:32Speaker 1: thing about it is this. I always feel this way.
- 57:36Speaker 1: I feel like each franchise, the city should represent... I'm sorry.
- 57:41Speaker 1: The cast should represent the city. And the reason why
- 57:44Speaker 1: the thing with Heather on 50-50, it's like you don't
- 57:48Speaker 1: even live there anymore.
- 57:50Speaker 2: I can't get past that.
- 57:53Speaker 1: I get it. You're part of the legacy, sure. Sure.
- 57:58Speaker 1: But you don't even live there. So like, I don't know. Whatever.
- 58:02Speaker 1: My point is Alex Hall lives there and she looks
- 58:08Speaker 1: like an OC housewife to me. Yeah.
- 58:11Speaker 3: And she's not bright blonde like a lot of them.
- 58:13Speaker 3: So it kind of gives a little bit of a
- 58:15Speaker 3: different dynamic depth to it. So let me ask you this.
- 58:18Speaker 3: Do you think there's any way that they're getting ready
- 58:22Speaker 3: to put a pause on OC?
- 58:24Speaker 1: Not pause. No. No? <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
- 58:28Speaker 1: I think casting.
- 58:30Speaker 2: I think casting. And I will say this. If it
- 58:33Speaker 2: wasn't for.
- 58:34Speaker 1: Them casting Leah Remini and Tracy Tudor, who I love,
- 58:38Speaker 1: I love both of those ladies, and I cannot wait
- 58:40Speaker 1: for Beverly Hills.
- 58:41Speaker 3: You cannot wait.
- 58:42Speaker 1: Cannot wait. If it wasn't for them casting that, I
- 58:45Speaker 1: would have suggested to have it go to Beverly Hills.
- 58:48Speaker 3: But I heard somewhere in the grapevine that That they
- 58:53Speaker 3: would never do that because of the fact that Heather
- 58:55Speaker 3: is so needed on this cast to bring that flair
- 58:57Speaker 3: that OC needs.
- 58:59Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. And that's why I think she stays begrudgingly.
- 59:02Speaker 1: I don't, don't, listen, we can talk about this next week.
- 59:05Speaker 1: Don't get me started on whether or not Heather enjoys
- 59:08Speaker 1: filming this show. Okay.
- 59:10Speaker 3: Well, let's wait and see what next.
- 59:12Speaker 1: If you guys believe for one second, Heather gets excited
- 59:15Speaker 1: to drive down. I'm sorry to be driven down to
- 59:20Speaker 1: the OC to film with these ladies. If you think
- 59:23Speaker 1: for one second, she enjoys that Santa Claus is coming
- 59:27Speaker 1: to your chimney, December 25th, please.
- 59:32Speaker 3: Well, he's coming to mind then because I don't agree
- 59:33Speaker 3: with you.
- 59:35Speaker 1: You think she enjoys it?
- 59:37Speaker 3: I think she, I think with the amount of TikToks
- 59:41Speaker 3: and all the, how much she gets in front of
- 59:44Speaker 3: the phone and does all the things off camera and
- 59:47Speaker 3: has all this free time on her hands for that. I,
- 59:49Speaker 3: I think she likes to be in front of the camera,
- 59:51Speaker 3: no matter where she has to drive. I think she would,
- 59:54Speaker 3: I think a lot of the women would, I think
- 59:55Speaker 3: she'd drive to fricking Tennessee every week if she had to,
- 59:58Speaker 3: to be on. I don't know. So I don't agree
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: with you. I think I don't think she minds it
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: at all. She sits in the back of her car
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: and she gets work done and creates TikTok ideas and
- 1:00:05Speaker 3: makes notes about that. And she does, you know, gets
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: to back home and does her five to get new material. Yeah,
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: that's I mean, I don't think she minds.
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: It at all. It's not funny. I'm serious. Well, I'm not.
- 1:00:18Speaker 3: I mean, I'm serious. I don't think she minds it.
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: Do you agree with me?
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: It could be very shady, but you want to. It's
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: not shady.
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: A lot of people love doing the Instagram reels and
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: all those, or not the reels, like likes to do
- 1:00:30Speaker 3: a lot of the, a lot of people like that.
- 1:00:32Speaker 3: I'm not throwing shade. I'm just saying. If you think
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: about it, she's back there probably making notes and saying
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: what she wants to do for her next six or
- 1:00:40Speaker 3: seven funny things and and comedy couple couples comedy or whatever.
- 1:00:45Speaker 3: It's not a big deal. I love it. Half of
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: them I laugh at, too. I just don't have enough
- 1:00:49Speaker 3: hours in the day for that. I don't know. And
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: I'm not even a housewife right now. I don't even
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: have a full time housewife job. I don't have enough
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: hours in the day to do that. So she loves it.
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: So I think she's back there using her time wisely
- 1:00:59Speaker 3: and coming down to film some scenes. I think, I
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: don't think she minds it. Now, when you hear it
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: like that, do you think she really minds it?
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: I think you are hysterical.
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: So you don't agree with me.
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: You are, first of all, you don't agree with me.
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: Your shade is good.
- 1:01:17Speaker 3: It's not shade, Carlos.
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: Okay, fine.
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: Emily loved doing it too. There's people that love doing it.
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: Tamara and I will do one here and there and
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: Tamara will do one when somebody else comes up with
- 1:01:26Speaker 3: the idea and.
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: Is like, hey guys, let's do this.
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: Let's do this. Let's do this, whatever it's called, whatever
- 1:01:31Speaker 3: they call them. And then we're like, oh, okay, put
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: the music on. We'll do it. But it's not something
- 1:01:35Speaker 3: I sit around and make a moment to figure out
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: what I'm going to do for that week and then
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: go do seven wardrobe changes to complete them all. But
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: there's nothing wrong with it. It's not shade. It's people's
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: desires and what they like to do. And it's fine.
- 1:01:50Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with it. That's what I'm saying. I
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: just don't think she minds it. And she's an empty
- 1:01:55Speaker 3: nester almost now. So it's like, You do have more
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: time on your hands. Maybe I'm going to get into
- 1:02:01Speaker 3: that when all my kids are gone. Okay.
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:02:05Speaker 3: Okay. You are so, see, you like to find negative
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: when there's not negative.
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: I am not. All I'm doing is saying.
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: There was no shade being thrown. It's just my opinion.
- 1:02:17Speaker 3: And as in the words of Tamara, it's my opinion.
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: I know.
- 1:02:21Speaker 3: She likes it. She's fine. As long as she's on
- 1:02:23Speaker 3: one of the shows, I think she's fine.
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: So raindrops.
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: Do me a favor.
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: It's not. Let us know in the comments how you
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: guys feel about Alexis' declaration.
- 1:02:38Speaker 3: Well, also, do they agree? I mean, do they think she.
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: Do y'all agree? Or was that shade? No, no, no, no.
- 1:02:46Speaker 3: That's not the question, Raindrops. I'm saying this question this
- 1:02:49Speaker 3: season or this podcast. Do you think that Heather enjoys...
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: We'll do an Andy Cohen Watch What Happens Live poll.
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: Does Heather enjoy... the drive, staying on this cast in
- 1:03:02Speaker 3: Orange County, or is she what Carlos says, and she's miserable,
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: and she'd rather be on Beverly Hills?
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: Okay, good question. Raindrops add in there if you think
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: Alexis was throwing shade.
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: Okay, so Alexis.
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: I was not.
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: Next week is our finale of OC.
- 1:03:23Speaker 3: I can't believe it. Now, right when we're wanting to
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: watch more, it's like, before we were like, shh. Now
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: we're like, I don't want it to be the finale, but.
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: I know, but the good news is this. We get to,
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: so what this also means too is this. Next week,
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: we'll get the trailer for the reunion. Oh. Mm-hmm. Uh-huh.
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: Have you heard anything?
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: No. Huh. Have you?
- 1:03:50Speaker 3: I plead the fifth. Oh, okay.
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: Okay. In your opinion, Tamara Judge voice, on a scale
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: of one to 10.
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: What do you mean in Tamara Judge voice? I don't
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: get it.
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: That's my opinion. So that's a Tamara Judge voice. It's
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: my opinion.
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: In your opinion, from what you heard from the grapevine.
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: And this comes from someone that no one would even
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: think has told me this information, but I have heard
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: that it probably was a little- I don't know.
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: We'll see.
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: Let's watch the trailer. Maybe it could have had a
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: little more pizzazz. Okay. Okay.
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: That's fair. And, Raindrop, we will recap the trailer next
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: week along with the finale of OC.
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: And the poll. We're going to start with the poll.
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: And please, Spotify comments, tweet up.
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: I think more people are going to agree with me
- 1:04:48Speaker 3: than you think. I think more people are going to
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: be like, no, Heather's fine and loves it.
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: You have lost every poll this season.
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: Well, that means my chances of winning one are damn
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: good because not anyone can have 100%. I get that 1%.
- 1:05:01Speaker 3: It's like dumb and dumber. You're saying I have a chance?
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: I have a 1% chance, Carlos, and I'm hanging on
- 1:05:07Speaker 3: that 1%. And by God, I'm going to win one poll.
