Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
0:03
Speaker 1: with our radio.
0:06
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Almost Famous podcasts. Ben and Lauren
0:11
Speaker 2: here today to recap another episode of The Ultimate Girls Trip.
0:17
Speaker 2: This time it's Kyle's iconic white party that we learned
0:19
Speaker 2: all about, or I learned all about. This is where
0:22
Speaker 2: all the drama and the reunions are going down, Lauren,
0:27
Speaker 2: I want to start with this. Do you look good
0:30
Speaker 2: and white?
0:31
Speaker 3: I'd look terrible and white. What about you? You look
0:34
Speaker 3: great and white? You're wearing white?
0:36
Speaker 4: I guess I don't know.
0:38
Speaker 2: I think the people look good and white like you
0:41
Speaker 2: would like. It's usually when you're like more tan.
0:45
Speaker 3: That's exactly what I was gonna say. I was like,
0:47
Speaker 3: you have to be very tan, and I think blondes
0:48
Speaker 3: look very bad and white. And there were a lot
0:50
Speaker 3: of blondes because we were in Beverly Hills. Wasn't the
0:54
Speaker 3: best color for them.
0:56
Speaker 2: This is a big with the things we learned last week.
0:59
Speaker 2: As we got explain to us, you know, this is
1:02
Speaker 2: a big party and it's been going on for a
1:06
Speaker 2: few years now. Mauricio and Kyle used to do this together. Now, Kyle,
1:14
Speaker 2: this is the first year that she's done on her own.
1:17
Speaker 2: They've done it, like all these crazy locations. Sofi Stadium,
1:20
Speaker 2: What is Sofi Stadium?
1:21
Speaker 3: What teams?
1:23
Speaker 4: Where the Rams would play?
1:24
Speaker 3: Oh?
1:25
Speaker 2: Sorry, okay, the NFL Stadium in la I mean that's
1:28
Speaker 2: a crazy place to hold a party.
1:30
Speaker 4: Also a very weird place. All I could do is
1:32
Speaker 4: when I watched it.
1:34
Speaker 2: When you know, when you're like having your sixteenth birthday party,
1:37
Speaker 2: you kind of learned some tricks of the trade to
1:39
Speaker 2: throw a party, and you want the smaller location so
1:43
Speaker 2: it feels busier and more's. Yes, it's kind of hard
1:46
Speaker 2: to make a football stadium feel packed unless you have,
1:48
Speaker 2: you know, seventy thousand friends.
1:51
Speaker 3: I know. I think Mauricio, like half of his invites
1:54
Speaker 3: kind of filled that stadium and Erica Jane filling it.
1:58
Speaker 3: Did you see the performance of Rika Jane years before?
2:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot of characters in this one, Lauren
2:05
Speaker 4: that I'm gonna need you to explain to me.
2:06
Speaker 3: I'll try to help you.
2:08
Speaker 2: I would really appreciate it because we had new Real Housewives,
2:15
Speaker 2: you know, new housewives, I guess popping up at this party.
2:19
Speaker 2: We had new drama come to formulating. We had flashbacks
2:22
Speaker 2: to arguments and reunions that I am not familiar with,
2:27
Speaker 2: and so this was like a masterclass I feel like,
2:31
Speaker 2: of Real Housewives history and trying to connect the dots. However,
2:36
Speaker 2: the party is being hosted at Kyle's house. She's been
2:39
Speaker 2: doing it since two thousand and four. As I mentioned,
2:42
Speaker 2: it was originally for Moe and her daughter Alexia's birthday party,
2:49
Speaker 2: but over the years it's grown. As white parties do.
2:53
Speaker 2: This looked like a really fun party. It looked like
2:55
Speaker 2: people were excited to be there. Lauren, I want to
2:58
Speaker 2: start with my first question. You probably have a little
3:00
Speaker 2: insight into this. This is obviously a party. People outside
3:05
Speaker 2: of the Housewives franchise are attending this party. Yeah, to
3:08
Speaker 2: have a good time. They're not just coming to like
3:11
Speaker 2: see a camera. I don't think a lot of these
3:13
Speaker 2: people care to just see a camera being, you know,
3:15
Speaker 2: filming somebody. When you know, the contestants of Rhode Island,
3:21
Speaker 2: or when Housewives show up to parties and we see
3:24
Speaker 2: them being filmed the whole time and kind of sitting
3:26
Speaker 2: on their own and like the corners of the party
3:29
Speaker 2: or on couches, is this enjoyable for them at all
3:34
Speaker 2: or for the guests coming or is it distracting?
3:38
Speaker 3: Well, I remember when they film Housewives at Audrey's, people
3:44
Speaker 3: really wanted to come for the filming because you're gonna
3:46
Speaker 3: see this drama firsthand, and you can see a lot
3:50
Speaker 3: of the bystanders when they were arguing. I think it
3:54
Speaker 3: was Giselle was getting some of the juicy scoop and
4:01
Speaker 3: there was a whole bunch of people like listening in
4:02
Speaker 3: to hear the drama. So I think it's fun for them.
4:06
Speaker 3: It kind of makes it more enticing. I don't think
4:08
Speaker 3: it'd be distracting.
4:10
Speaker 2: But then you could still go off, have a drink,
4:12
Speaker 2: come back and watch the entertainment. So there's just a
4:14
Speaker 2: lot of eyes typically on yes, the Housewives during these
4:18
Speaker 2: now yeah, not just like a big old party.
4:19
Speaker 4: There's an event. There's an entertainment factor.
4:23
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And you know, it looked like there were like
4:24
Speaker 3: no husbands except for Mo kind of there, right. Did
4:27
Speaker 3: you see any other males at this party?
4:29
Speaker 2: I didn't see any, like hardly any. I think that's
4:32
Speaker 2: a good take because Mo did show up. It is
4:35
Speaker 2: a big moment following last week's episode to see Mo
4:38
Speaker 2: and Kyle communicating together.
4:40
Speaker 4: I still kind of stand by the fact that it
4:43
Speaker 4: feels like there's something there.
4:45
Speaker 3: I've thought the same thing. I was like, just get
4:47
Speaker 3: back together. The way they hugged, the way they looked
4:49
Speaker 3: at each other, the way she was trying to make
4:51
Speaker 3: him jealous by eluding that she was going to get
4:53
Speaker 3: married again, even though it was like an obvious lie,
4:57
Speaker 3: like it was just fun banter, but like he was
5:00
Speaker 3: hoping to get some kind of jealousy out of that.
5:03
Speaker 3: And they just keep saying, I don't know how I
5:05
Speaker 3: got here. I don't I got here. I'm like, well,
5:06
Speaker 3: then get back together.
5:08
Speaker 5: I don't know.
5:08
Speaker 3: I want them back together so bad because it looks
5:10
Speaker 3: so sad, and Kyle's never looked better, Like doesn't he
5:14
Speaker 3: want Kyle at her absolute peak right now?
5:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, she is at her peak peak, And there is
5:19
Speaker 2: something to be said. I'm analyzing in a deep way here.
5:23
Speaker 2: But you know, they separate. They're not divorced, but they separate,
5:28
Speaker 2: and then Mo goes off and you know he's not young,
5:32
Speaker 2: but he's not old. He's middle aged. And you see
5:35
Speaker 2: these headlines of like girl after girl after girl. Typically,
5:40
Speaker 2: you know, for any of my friends at my age
5:43
Speaker 2: or younger, that would be a sign of, hey, you're
5:47
Speaker 2: you're I guess, for lack of a better term, like
5:49
Speaker 2: releasing something there. You're looking for something that you can't find.
5:55
Speaker 2: And you know, I think we can all say, oh,
5:58
Speaker 2: it's so cool to just go out there and date
6:01
Speaker 2: and flirt and hook up at some point in my
6:05
Speaker 2: life at least, and at some point I think in
6:07
Speaker 2: most people's life, like that stops being as like enjoyable,
6:10
Speaker 2: and you want to find that person that looks at
6:12
Speaker 2: you the way Kyle looks at him, and you're like,
6:15
Speaker 2: maybe what you're searching for is right back to where
6:17
Speaker 2: you were started.
6:19
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean they were together obviously for thirty years,
6:21
Speaker 3: and he has probably had hundreds, if not thousands of
6:27
Speaker 3: women slide in his DMS approach him, you know, trying
6:32
Speaker 3: to douce him, and I guess like in the back
6:34
Speaker 3: of his mind the whole marriage, he's like, now that
6:35
Speaker 3: I'm very well known, I could have literally the hottest
6:39
Speaker 3: twenty something year old, which is something that I'm sure
6:41
Speaker 3: a lot of men like dream of. So maybe now
6:43
Speaker 3: that he's gone through that like little fantasy he's had
6:45
Speaker 3: in the back of his head, he's like, well, now
6:48
Speaker 3: I'm done with that, let me go back to the
6:49
Speaker 3: person I love. I'm obviously putting words in his mouth,
6:51
Speaker 3: and I'm obviously speculating this is all allegedly, but I
6:55
Speaker 3: think that, you know, maybe he's had his fun at
6:58
Speaker 3: this point. And I don't even I don't know if
7:00
Speaker 3: that was like the culprit of like their marriage ending,
7:03
Speaker 3: but to me as an outsider, that's probably what it was.
7:07
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, I think we come to this,
7:09
Speaker 2: you and I both as two people catching up and learning,
7:12
Speaker 2: and as I watch, I don't know much of the background.
7:15
Speaker 2: I'm not familiar with the you know, the arguments and
7:18
Speaker 2: the discourse when it all happened. But I'm watching it
7:21
Speaker 2: now saying, hey, I'd feel this way when I see
7:25
Speaker 2: the two of them together, I feel that it's not
7:28
Speaker 2: quite done. Well, we are at Kyle's white party. Your
7:33
Speaker 2: girl Luiyne is getting ready and she's taking up the
7:37
Speaker 2: spotlight at the beginning of this show because she has
7:39
Speaker 2: a surprise for everyone. Did you love this moment for her?
7:44
Speaker 2: Did this make you love her more or less?
7:46
Speaker 3: Yes? She's so unself aware is that the proper term
7:50
Speaker 3: for this? Because she's like, this entrance is going to
7:53
Speaker 3: be amazing, This song is amazing. I am the best
7:56
Speaker 3: performer of all time and it was most lackless thing
8:00
Speaker 3: I've ever seen in my entire life. And then they
8:03
Speaker 3: show they have the bushes as a backup dancers, which
8:06
Speaker 3: alludes to her falling to the bushes in that conduct moment.
8:09
Speaker 3: Where is Ramona right now? We need Ramona in this
8:13
Speaker 3: but but she is hilarious and like everyone's looking at
8:18
Speaker 3: each other, especially Vicky, which we know she hates. Luanne
8:21
Speaker 3: being like, what the hell are we watching right now?
8:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good that's a good segue to talk
8:26
Speaker 2: about Vicky. M h uh, we're you know. When we
8:29
Speaker 2: had the episode one of this, Vicky was excited. She
8:33
Speaker 2: was hosting, she was bringing everybody out there. It was
8:36
Speaker 2: a really fun day. She committed to doing this road trip.
8:39
Speaker 2: It feels like to me she was excited for the
8:42
Speaker 2: initial day of this road trip, and as the road
8:45
Speaker 2: trip continues, she gets less and less enthused about the
8:48
Speaker 2: idea of traveling around the country with this group of women.
8:52
Speaker 2: She mentions how busy she is and Lauren, in my life,
8:59
Speaker 2: I just everybody's busy. Everybody is, everybody has the responsibilities.
9:03
Speaker 4: You just assume that every.
9:05
Speaker 2: Like nobody has time to do what they want, correct,
9:07
Speaker 2: You kind of have to carve that out. I think
9:09
Speaker 2: it's always something I appreciate when somebody says, Hey, I'm
9:13
Speaker 2: carving out time just to sit, hang out, talk, laugh, whatever.
9:16
Speaker 2: But Vicky seems like she is very committed to her job.
9:22
Speaker 2: Is I tried to find it online. I don't know
9:24
Speaker 2: if I know what her like, what is taking up
9:27
Speaker 2: her time.
9:28
Speaker 3: I know she sells life insurance, and we saw that
9:31
Speaker 3: from the first episode when she was trying to get
9:33
Speaker 3: the all the ladies to sign up for life insurance.
9:37
Speaker 3: But honestly, as a new parent, I think anyone whose
9:44
Speaker 3: kids have left the house, or you don't have any kids,
9:48
Speaker 3: you got to you got time. So Vicky should have
9:51
Speaker 3: time to let loose and enjoy this. I know it
9:54
Speaker 3: must be hard because it is overwhelming. Maybe she's become
9:57
Speaker 3: more of an introvert since, you know, over the years
10:00
Speaker 3: and she's constantly with these women, and she mentions it
10:03
Speaker 3: feels like one hundred days and it's only been three days,
10:06
Speaker 3: so she's gonna lose her a couple more times.
10:10
Speaker 2: It's uh, it isn't easy for introverts. I am one,
10:14
Speaker 2: and it does drain on you. But you committed to it,
10:18
Speaker 2: and you kind of carve out and say, hey, for
10:20
Speaker 2: two weeks, I'm out of touch, I'm out of can't.
10:23
Speaker 2: I won't be responding to emails, I won't be making
10:25
Speaker 2: the phone calls, the text will have to wait, those
10:28
Speaker 2: kind of things. And but you know, Vicky's career has
10:33
Speaker 2: as I look it up, it's Codo insurance, seems like
10:36
Speaker 2: it's going well. It does seem like she is, you know,
10:40
Speaker 2: busy in her own respectful way. But the ladies don't
10:43
Speaker 2: appreciate this. In fact, Luienne does bring it up to her.
10:48
Speaker 2: Everybody else I think kind of in the preview calls
10:50
Speaker 2: her a wet blanket. Yeah, it's not a great look,
10:55
Speaker 2: no for her.
10:57
Speaker 3: I think maybe she's really focusing on this insurance company
11:01
Speaker 3: because she doesn't want to rely on housewives anymore. Maybe
11:05
Speaker 3: she's like, this is going to be my job, so
11:07
Speaker 3: I don't have to deal with these ladies anymore. So
11:10
Speaker 3: she's like, I'm not going to go in this girl's
11:11
Speaker 3: trip and lose out on clients because I'm here. That's
11:15
Speaker 3: my take on it. She seems like very over it,
11:18
Speaker 3: but being called a wet blanket is like the biggest
11:21
Speaker 3: diss alive.
11:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would suck. Like, hey, every time you walk
11:24
Speaker 4: into the room, it just gets a little worse.
11:26
Speaker 3: I know, it's like no one wants her here, so depressed.
11:29
Speaker 4: It's so sad.
11:30
Speaker 2: Hey, I do want to give a shout out before
11:32
Speaker 2: we talk about the Salt Lake City drama kind of
11:36
Speaker 2: learning about that. I've been around her a few times
11:39
Speaker 2: now because of this iHeart family and the iHeart Connections.
11:44
Speaker 2: Teddy Metal Teddy Mellencamp makes an appearance. If you've been
11:49
Speaker 2: following Teddy's story, it was spectacular for me to see
11:54
Speaker 2: her show up speaking about somebody who's busy or tired,
11:58
Speaker 2: or probably one of the last things she feels like doing,
12:03
Speaker 2: maybe she wants to do but feels like doing because
12:06
Speaker 2: of her battle with cancer, is showing up to a
12:09
Speaker 2: party like this. But always great to see Teddy. And
12:14
Speaker 2: obviously Teddy and Kyler are best friends and so it
12:16
Speaker 2: makes sense. But just somebody we need to give a
12:20
Speaker 2: shout out to because she has a lot happening in
12:22
Speaker 2: her life that is very real and very.
12:28
Speaker 4: Hard. Yeah.
12:28
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I was shocked to see her there, but very
12:30
Speaker 3: happy to see her there too, looking beautiful too. Yeah,
12:36
Speaker 3: the Salt Lake City drama. I'm gonna say I'm not
12:40
Speaker 3: the best at right now, but I do I'm kind
12:44
Speaker 3: of getting the hang of it.
12:46
Speaker 2: Well, let's bring Heather in to explain to us. All
12:48
Speaker 2: of the characters that are involved in the Salt Lake
12:51
Speaker 2: City drama.
12:51
Speaker 3: I can visualize them, like I can see through the episode, like, oh,
12:55
Speaker 3: that girl doesn't like that girl, but the names are
12:58
Speaker 3: not great.
12:59
Speaker 6: Yeah, So we had in this episode, we had Meredith
13:04
Speaker 6: Mars show up. She is one of the original Salt
13:07
Speaker 6: Lake City housewives as well as Whitney, and she's an
13:12
Speaker 6: original and Bronwyn, who is a newcomer kind of to
13:17
Speaker 6: the show. She's only been on for like I think
13:19
Speaker 6: the last two seasons. And so in a nutshell, Bronwyn
13:25
Speaker 6: and Whitney are not getting along with Lisa and Meredith,
13:30
Speaker 6: and Lisa and Meredith have been friends for years and
13:33
Speaker 6: years and years. But the gist of it is that
13:37
Speaker 6: Bronwyn and Whitney think that Lisa is a liar. They
13:40
Speaker 6: hear a lot of stuff supposedly about Lisa around town
13:43
Speaker 6: and the links that she's willing to go to to
13:45
Speaker 6: close a deal for her you know, Vita tequila brand,
13:49
Speaker 6: and they call her out on it, and Lisa on
13:53
Speaker 6: the other side, you know, denies all these accusations and
13:56
Speaker 6: opens up to Portia in this episode basically, you know,
14:00
Speaker 6: talking about the horrible things and lies that have been
14:03
Speaker 6: spread around her and her marriage around town.
14:07
Speaker 3: Which one of these girls is the famous injector.
14:12
Speaker 6: Oh, that's Heather Gay and she's not until the next episode.
14:15
Speaker 3: Okay, understood different different okay.
14:18
Speaker 6: But also the same cast, but she's just not on
14:20
Speaker 6: this episode.
14:21
Speaker 3: Okay, that's the only person I'm kind of familiar with. Yes,
14:23
Speaker 3: And Gizelle here is getting all the information. And Gazelle
14:28
Speaker 3: seems like the biggest star I've ever seen. She's a
14:31
Speaker 3: producer's dream. She will ask any question and go behind
14:34
Speaker 3: anyone's back to ask a certain question and then ask
14:38
Speaker 3: it to the brother person's face. Jizelle's getting all this information,
14:43
Speaker 3: and it I the weirdest thing. And I don't believe
14:46
Speaker 3: any of these accusations against Lisa. Like she she slips around,
14:51
Speaker 3: she uses sex to get jazz tickets or a whole
14:55
Speaker 3: bunch of other things, and Mike sales for her tequila brand.
14:58
Speaker 3: So I don't think I think Lisa would actually do that.
15:01
Speaker 3: I don't think she would do that. I don't think anything.
15:04
Speaker 2: We've learned that with like Rhode Island, where a lot
15:06
Speaker 2: of these rumors that get started, they're spread and they're
15:09
Speaker 2: not true. Now, there might be a little bit of
15:11
Speaker 2: truth in them, like hey, she went out of her
15:14
Speaker 2: way to get a deal done, but then all of
15:15
Speaker 2: a sudden, the rumors start, the game of telephone starts
15:18
Speaker 2: getting played at the end of it. Now, I also
15:21
Speaker 2: don't know if they're true or not, but we can
15:23
Speaker 2: see how on The Housewives Show, how things kind of
15:28
Speaker 2: volcano up and then all of a sudden you're like, oh,
15:30
Speaker 2: what is being told to the public is actually very
15:33
Speaker 2: far from the truth.
15:34
Speaker 3: Yes, I can see in like the heat of the moment.
15:36
Speaker 3: So I'm like, you sleep with men for Jess tickets
15:39
Speaker 3: and then that being like lop snowball effect exactly like
15:42
Speaker 3: what you said, So I understand why should be mad.
15:45
Speaker 3: And then Lisa, there's a clip to Lisa in the
15:48
Speaker 3: in her Salt Lake City episode being like, you've crossed
15:50
Speaker 3: the line. You involved my husband and that's where it
15:52
Speaker 3: was like not friends anymore. Can't even come back from that.
15:56
Speaker 3: And I understand trying to protect your marriage in like
15:58
Speaker 3: such a hostile environment there, So I see why there
16:02
Speaker 3: are separate camps at this party.
16:05
Speaker 2: Would we say that the Salt Lake City Housewives and
16:08
Speaker 2: the Road Island Housewives are the most similar in terms
16:12
Speaker 2: of like how they navigate life with each other?
16:16
Speaker 6: Say that they're not similar, but they're equal in popularity.
16:21
Speaker 6: They're seasons, but not similar shows at all, in my opinion.
16:26
Speaker 3: Very interesting. Are a lot of the Salt Lake City
16:28
Speaker 3: people married still.
16:31
Speaker 6: So Heather's not married, Whitney's going through a divorce this
16:35
Speaker 6: next season, Angie k is going through a divorce this
16:38
Speaker 6: next season.
16:39
Speaker 4: Thank god goodness, Housewives slowed down.
16:42
Speaker 6: Yeah, Bronwin went through a divorce in between seasons, so
16:46
Speaker 6: we'll see play out this next one. So, yeah, Lisa
16:50
Speaker 6: is married, Meredith's married, but both of their marriages have
16:53
Speaker 6: come under fire on the show. And then Mary Cosby
16:57
Speaker 6: is married, but that's a whole other thing because you
16:59
Speaker 6: know she's married to her step grandpa.
17:01
Speaker 3: Oh right, Ben's face please so enclip that her like
17:09
Speaker 3: her biological grandma married this guy and then the grandma
17:13
Speaker 3: like died or something, and then she married the grandpa.
17:15
Speaker 6: Ben, Lauren, you need to get into this show, you know,
17:19
Speaker 6: trust me enough, to watch you not nuts.
17:27
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't want to hear I'd prefer I've
17:29
Speaker 2: never heard that.
17:30
Speaker 3: It's the it's the craziest thing I've ever heard. Yes, nuts.
17:33
Speaker 3: What what season are they on a Salt Lake City currently?
17:36
Speaker 6: I think this is going to be season six that
17:40
Speaker 6: be coming out.
17:41
Speaker 3: We got to make sure Ashley leaves house by the
17:43
Speaker 3: first season six. It sounds like everything goes to about then.
17:46
Speaker 4: That's so messed up.
17:47
Speaker 3: I know, I know, but it's Tea. It's Tea.
17:52
Speaker 6: The mastor of her church. Like it's a whole thing.
17:55
Speaker 4: Who's the pastor of what church?
17:57
Speaker 6: Mary Anne Cosby is the pastor of her church and
18:00
Speaker 6: that was like a part of it, like when her
18:01
Speaker 6: grandmother died, she took over the church.
18:04
Speaker 3: Is she still an active member of Housewives?
18:06
Speaker 6: Yes?
18:07
Speaker 3: Okay?
18:07
Speaker 6: And sadly her son just passed away while they were filming.
18:11
Speaker 3: Oh I remember this.
18:13
Speaker 6: Yes, So there's going to be a lot going on
18:15
Speaker 6: in this next season.
18:18
Speaker 3: Oh terrible.
18:30
Speaker 2: The White Party continues through the evening. We do get
18:32
Speaker 2: to see Louienn's performance that Lauren eloquently said was just
18:38
Speaker 2: not as big of a deal as I think she
18:41
Speaker 2: thought it could be.
18:42
Speaker 4: In her head.
18:43
Speaker 2: But I love I do appreciate anybody that is willing
18:48
Speaker 2: to kind of have the first character syndrome. We're like,
18:53
Speaker 2: they're like, this is going to be great because I'm
18:55
Speaker 2: going to be the one doing it. When you have
18:56
Speaker 2: a lot of big personalities in the room, that would
18:59
Speaker 2: be fine. You know, ziplining through a party. They would
19:02
Speaker 2: probably think that was cool and that you know, everybody
19:06
Speaker 2: would like it. And I liked that she thought, out
19:08
Speaker 2: of any event that I could be at, this is
19:10
Speaker 2: the one where I'm going to make this entrance and
19:15
Speaker 2: it's not even her party. So there is a level
19:18
Speaker 2: of me where it's like, I see what you were
19:20
Speaker 2: saying before. I want to know more about Louienne because
19:22
Speaker 2: I think I would enjoy watching Louienne because she's an
19:26
Speaker 2: intelligent person. She can like converse with others that feels
19:30
Speaker 2: like in a way that doesn't.
19:32
Speaker 4: Feel super off.
19:34
Speaker 2: However, she's probably making decisions that make you go, you
19:39
Speaker 2: have a very high view of yourself.
19:41
Speaker 3: Yes, she loves herself, but I do love the way
19:44
Speaker 3: she talks to people. I think she talks to Vicky
19:46
Speaker 3: very well. We see her and Vicky have a moment
19:50
Speaker 3: here where Vicky's like, I feel like you don't like me.
19:54
Speaker 3: And then Luyne doesn't lie or anything. She's like, I
19:58
Speaker 3: just feel like you don't want to be here, and
19:59
Speaker 3: she's like speaking for everyone, and Luanne just will say
20:03
Speaker 3: was on her mind, but she won't be like super
20:05
Speaker 3: super aggressive about it. She'll just like calmly say it.
20:07
Speaker 3: She's like, you just don't want to be here. And
20:09
Speaker 3: then Vicky's like, well, you called me porky pig and
20:11
Speaker 3: that was the funniest moment with the entire episode for me.
20:14
Speaker 3: She's like, oh, the different pig. It's like, oh, I'm
20:16
Speaker 3: sorry that you're still a pig and I got the
20:18
Speaker 3: pig wrong. Vicky is so funny when she flips out
20:22
Speaker 3: about that, and then lu Ayne realizes her mistake and
20:24
Speaker 3: they kind of make up. They're like, okay, you don't
20:28
Speaker 3: give un solicit advice and I don't remember the other
20:30
Speaker 3: bend of the deal, but like they're amazing. They're great
20:34
Speaker 3: together there.
20:36
Speaker 2: The pig conversation is like what when I think of
20:39
Speaker 2: the Housewives and those moments like that are the ones
20:44
Speaker 2: that make me laugh so much because you can see
20:47
Speaker 2: how it happens. Yeah, and it is an argument about
20:52
Speaker 2: a pig, you know, a fictional pig. Yeah, and they're upset.
20:58
Speaker 2: Like you said, she's still read like related her to
21:01
Speaker 2: a pig. Yeah, I don't think any of us are like, hey,
21:04
Speaker 2: what in my life, I would love to be compared
21:05
Speaker 2: to a pig.
21:06
Speaker 3: One hundred percent it's a porky pig or miss Piggy,
21:09
Speaker 3: And I'm like, arguably Miss Piggy's kind of fatter, so
21:12
Speaker 3: I would you know? Also either way, terrible comparison, but
21:16
Speaker 3: also hilarious for us to watch. And Louienne also thought
21:19
Speaker 3: it was funny. But Luiyne doesn't only have a fight
21:21
Speaker 3: with Vicky, she also has a fight with fight with
21:23
Speaker 3: Erica Jane and they go into the how this came
21:26
Speaker 3: to be and basically Erica and lu Ayne were friends,
21:30
Speaker 3: but then Erica ghosted her and therefore on stage asked
21:34
Speaker 3: who the like the bitchiest housewife was or the meanest
21:37
Speaker 3: or something, and she was like, it's Erica. So they
21:40
Speaker 3: aren't off friends. They have to see each other at
21:42
Speaker 3: this party, and I think that they Erica made a
21:46
Speaker 3: lot of sense. She was like, look, I was going
21:47
Speaker 3: through the hardest time of my life, the most public
21:50
Speaker 3: divorce we've seen in a long time, blah blah blah,
21:54
Speaker 3: all these things, and she's like, that's why I wasn't
21:55
Speaker 3: messaging you. I was literally in the thick of it,
21:58
Speaker 3: the thickest of my life. And so now Lewann kind
22:01
Speaker 3: of like understands and hopefully Vick me be friends again,
22:03
Speaker 3: because they are two bars of a feather.
22:07
Speaker 4: Erica Jane got divorced to who.
22:10
Speaker 3: The huge lawyer.
22:14
Speaker 6: Arm Girardi, Tom Girardi. He was the lawyer that is
22:18
Speaker 6: like the character in the movie Aaron Takovic.
22:21
Speaker 3: Have you ever see that movie ban Uh?
22:23
Speaker 4: Yeah? And didn't Tom Girardi get in trouble or something?
22:26
Speaker 6: Yeah, So that's what she's talking about when she's talking
22:29
Speaker 6: about the public mess of the divorce is the fact
22:32
Speaker 6: that when she was going through her divorce, her husband
22:36
Speaker 6: was also being sued for taking burn victim and flight
22:42
Speaker 6: victim's money and putting it into his lifestyle and allegedly
22:46
Speaker 6: his wife's lifestyle.
22:48
Speaker 4: Now he's in prison, right, Yes, how old is he?
22:52
Speaker 3: Like one hundred and five?
22:53
Speaker 6: He's very old, and he has like some sort of
22:57
Speaker 6: dementia because he like does not remember her or anything.
23:04
Speaker 2: Oh goodness, yeah, good The Housewise show just feels like
23:08
Speaker 2: an emotional roller coaster for me. All of a sudden,
23:10
Speaker 2: I'm hearing about somebody marrying their grandpa, and then I
23:14
Speaker 2: hear about them losing a child. I'm like, that's weird,
23:16
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh goodness, I feel for her. And
23:19
Speaker 2: then same way here, it's like this guy obviously was
23:24
Speaker 2: not doing great things, but then all of a sudden,
23:25
Speaker 2: You're like, he has dementia and doesn't remember her, and
23:28
Speaker 2: I'm like, good, Like, It's just always an emotional roller
23:30
Speaker 2: coaster for me here. I don't even know how to
23:32
Speaker 2: handle it. It's hard to I guess it's a good
23:34
Speaker 2: lesson in life. It's hard for me to make strong
23:36
Speaker 2: judgments because on the back end of those judgments, I'm being,
23:41
Speaker 2: you know, sympathized with Hey, Lauren, I want to bring
23:45
Speaker 2: up an opinion I have and maybe I'm yes, I'm
23:49
Speaker 2: oftentimes wrong. But I watched this conversation happen where Denise
23:55
Speaker 2: Richards is involved and they're talking about divorces, and it
24:00
Speaker 2: felt very awkward for me where especially when it came
24:05
Speaker 2: to talking about Denise. I think it was Erica Jane
24:09
Speaker 2: or somebody that had blonde hair was kind of bringing
24:13
Speaker 2: up the topic of divorce and public divorce and how
24:15
Speaker 2: the divorces happened, and it kind of felt like Denise
24:19
Speaker 2: Richards like caught one of the bullets here, like a
24:23
Speaker 2: stray bullet, like everybody's talking about it. She was kind
24:25
Speaker 2: of sitting there and then all there of a sudden,
24:26
Speaker 2: like eyes go on her and they're like, you know
24:28
Speaker 2: what it's like, right, And it felt to me like
24:30
Speaker 2: Denise did not want to be talking about this publicly.
24:32
Speaker 2: Obviously she's talking about the Charlie Sheen you know, divorce. Yeah,
24:38
Speaker 2: did you feel that way or am I off here?
24:40
Speaker 3: I think that probably? I mean, because everyone knew Charlie Sheen,
24:45
Speaker 3: everyone followed that heavily, and so yeah, I think everyone's
24:48
Speaker 3: going to look towards her because it was the crazy situation.
24:52
Speaker 3: Ever Seene' I think she kind of is more of
24:57
Speaker 3: an open book than you think, because when she was
24:59
Speaker 3: on the head Housewives, she was talking about like her marriage,
25:03
Speaker 3: her second marriage, and I think I think she's kind
25:05
Speaker 3: of open to talking about I don't think it was
25:07
Speaker 3: like a deer in headlight situation. Also, she's done some
25:12
Speaker 3: interesting things with OnlyFans too. After this and her daughter
25:16
Speaker 3: being on OnlyFans, so I think like she kind of
25:19
Speaker 3: welcomes all the drama. Denise Richards, Yes, sir, I think
25:27
Speaker 3: this could be allegedly. I didn't see the videos, but
25:30
Speaker 3: I think her and her daughter did a video together
25:32
Speaker 3: for only fans, so so I don't think that talking
25:44
Speaker 3: about her divorce is really anything new for her?
25:47
Speaker 4: Is it best for me just to keep thoughts to
25:49
Speaker 4: myself from here?
25:50
Speaker 3: And now?
25:50
Speaker 4: I really have so many things that I'm trying to process.
25:54
Speaker 3: No, don't keep your thoughts to yourself. We got to
25:55
Speaker 3: hear it all.
25:56
Speaker 2: I mean, can somebody here argue with me if my
25:59
Speaker 2: first thought there is like how why that's doesn't feel right?
26:06
Speaker 2: And would anybody here push back on me and be like, no,
26:09
Speaker 2: this is why, this is how, it makes sense. It's
26:11
Speaker 2: totally normal, and to like no, okay.
26:14
Speaker 3: No, I think it's just it's just absolutely bizarre. I mean,
26:17
Speaker 3: I think she was trying to help her daughter maybe
26:19
Speaker 3: get some more viewers, and now she's like so proud
26:22
Speaker 3: of her. She's like, I wish I did this when
26:23
Speaker 3: I was younger, because you can make so much money
26:25
Speaker 3: that relying on a man. And I guess in Denise's mind,
26:29
Speaker 3: she's like she was an actress before though, so she
26:31
Speaker 3: didn't really need of a man. Huge Huge, the hottest
26:35
Speaker 3: girl of all time. So she was like, get your
26:40
Speaker 3: money so you don't have to rely on a man
26:42
Speaker 3: and go through two massy divorces like I did. So
26:43
Speaker 3: I think that was her thought process with the only
26:45
Speaker 3: fans and her daughter. Still, you know, it's weird.
26:49
Speaker 5: Yeah.
27:00
Speaker 2: We end the episode with the previews in the car
27:03
Speaker 2: ride back. Pretty much the car at back feels like
27:06
Speaker 2: everybody pretty much admitting that hey, Vicky, like get off
27:10
Speaker 2: your phone, get into the world.
27:12
Speaker 4: We're at.
27:14
Speaker 2: This is a few days to enjoy and to laugh
27:19
Speaker 2: and to fight and to heal and all these things.
27:22
Speaker 2: And it doesn't feel like Vicky is wanting to be there,
27:27
Speaker 2: mostly because she does get invited to have a drink
27:29
Speaker 2: in the hotel room. And I don't really blame Vicky
27:33
Speaker 2: for this. I remember, I mean even today as I'm
27:37
Speaker 2: filming the show, I do after a big day and
27:42
Speaker 2: some and there's always the personalities great for them that
27:45
Speaker 2: are like, hey, let's go have a drink in the
27:46
Speaker 2: hotel room after, like like to wind down tonight, And
27:50
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, that doesn't wind me down. What wine
27:52
Speaker 2: would wind me down, is grabbing like my books, sitting
27:55
Speaker 2: in my bed, not talking to anybody, and taking a
27:59
Speaker 2: deep breath. So I don't blame Vicky for this, It
28:02
Speaker 2: just I think the interesting point to this is Vicky
28:06
Speaker 2: was and is such a big character on the franchise,
28:09
Speaker 2: and she did it while having this kind of personality
28:13
Speaker 2: of not wanting to associate all the time in social situations,
28:19
Speaker 2: and so as much as it is kind of driving
28:21
Speaker 2: me crazy how much she's on her phone, I think
28:23
Speaker 2: that's just rude, absolutely general. There is almost I'm impressed
28:28
Speaker 2: with her ability to come out of her comfort and
28:33
Speaker 2: do the show for as long as she's done it.
28:36
Speaker 3: Her kind of snapping at Luanne when she's like I
28:39
Speaker 3: just need or the whole car. Really she's like, I
28:41
Speaker 3: just need silence. You guys are stressing me out. Was
28:44
Speaker 3: what all us introverts say in our head when we
28:47
Speaker 3: want to get the hell back to our room. But
28:49
Speaker 3: she actually said it, and I was like, that is
28:52
Speaker 3: all that I'm thinking when it gets beyond like nine
28:55
Speaker 3: pm and someone is still talking to me. So yeah,
28:59
Speaker 3: I think she's I think, but that's honestly making great,
29:01
Speaker 3: very relatable television. Her being overstimulated her but asking a
29:06
Speaker 3: question to Luyanne. Luanne is actively answering it, and then
29:09
Speaker 3: she picks up her phone basically like I will talk
29:11
Speaker 3: to anyone else who is not in this car to
29:15
Speaker 3: get my brain out of here. I think it was
29:18
Speaker 3: definitely rude, and like, as an adult, you should be
29:20
Speaker 3: able just to finish the question and then call whoever
29:22
Speaker 3: the hell that was back. It seemed like she didn't
29:24
Speaker 3: even know who was calling was good unknown number, and
29:26
Speaker 3: she just wanted to get out of that conversation.
29:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's totally I think in today's world, with the
29:31
Speaker 2: cell phone and the access to phones, it's totally okay
29:35
Speaker 2: for you to tell me, Hey, I am going to
29:37
Speaker 2: go back to my hotel room tonight. I'm tired. Uh,
29:40
Speaker 2: this has been a big day for me. I still
29:43
Speaker 2: don't see it ever being appropriate to be in the
29:46
Speaker 2: midst of a conversation and to jump on your phone
29:49
Speaker 2: just to see the random person texting you or calling you.
29:53
Speaker 2: I at least want to know that you're present in
29:56
Speaker 2: the moment.
29:57
Speaker 3: Especially with the people that you're not that close with.
29:59
Speaker 3: You're like, yeah, maybe for clothes. I'm like, oh, let
30:01
Speaker 3: me just you know, oh, yeah. Yeah, but like you're
30:03
Speaker 3: actively getting to know these people and it's very rude.
30:07
Speaker 2: Preview for next week, the ladies are going to Atlanta.
30:13
Speaker 2: I used to work in Atlanta quite a bit. Atlanta
30:16
Speaker 2: always comes out with great stories. There's incredible people in Atlanta.
30:21
Speaker 2: They have an amazing nightlife and a lot of big
30:26
Speaker 2: characters in Atlanta. You know, Atlanta's interesting because there's a
30:30
Speaker 2: ton of money in Atlanta. Uh, and it's a place
30:36
Speaker 2: where if you're out and about, you can run into
30:39
Speaker 2: just about anybody. Yeah, And so I'm excited to watch
30:44
Speaker 2: what they have in store for Atlanta. When they said
30:46
Speaker 2: we have big plans in Atlanta, I'm assuming when they
30:49
Speaker 2: say that they do.
30:53
Speaker 3: And they also have Kim Zolzi act making an appearance.
30:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, explain her to me.
30:57
Speaker 3: I mean she was an og Atlanta housewife and she's
31:03
Speaker 3: just made big waves, like in the news, Like I
31:05
Speaker 3: feel like everyone knows her. Of course, of course there
31:08
Speaker 3: was bankruptcy, divorce, her daughters being very well known now
31:13
Speaker 3: because they grew up on TV.
31:14
Speaker 6: And.
31:16
Speaker 3: I just I just know her from like other reality shows,
31:19
Speaker 3: like was she on Traders or something like Traders? She's
31:22
Speaker 3: been on every single other reality show there's ever been.
31:25
Speaker 6: She was on Hulu's Got to Get Out. She and Croy.
31:33
Speaker 6: She and Croy had their own spinoff. That's what you
31:35
Speaker 6: know her from, probably on Bravo.
31:38
Speaker 3: That's exactly what it was. Yes, love her. And then
31:40
Speaker 3: we finally get to see Kyle talking to Ashley Darby
31:44
Speaker 3: about her alleged relationship with Mauricio. And then Lisa is
31:51
Speaker 3: annoyed that other Salt Lake City people are in attendance
31:54
Speaker 3: in this Atlanta stop. So there's a lot. I'm so
31:58
Speaker 3: excited to see Kyle and and Ashley talk though.
32:02
Speaker 2: Atlanta is next week and we'll be here breaking it down.
32:06
Speaker 2: So far, the reunion has been a masterclass for me
32:10
Speaker 2: at learning about the housewives and the connections between the two.
32:14
Speaker 4: It still feels.
32:16
Speaker 2: To me a little bit personal information. It still feels
32:20
Speaker 2: like this is a disconnect from Rhode Island because Rhode
32:23
Speaker 2: Island is so new. We haven't seen any of the
32:26
Speaker 2: Rhode Island can you know characters come into the reunion yet. Yeah,
32:32
Speaker 2: and so it's hard for me in my mind to
32:34
Speaker 2: make sense that these are the same franchise. I'm hoping
32:39
Speaker 2: at some point we get to see Rhode Island cross in.
32:43
Speaker 3: That's stop at New Jersey. We'll just tie everything in.
32:46
Speaker 4: Well, let's hope for it. Yes, that'd be awesome. Hey,
32:49
Speaker 4: another great week, Lauren.
32:51

32:53
