- 0:23Speaker 1: Real Housewives Franchise to The Bachelor or Selling Sunset, in
- 0:27Speaker 1: addition to celebrity guests, whether in the unscripted space or
- 0:31Speaker 1: scripted as well. Hey, rain drops up today's episode The
- 0:38Speaker 1: Reality with the King. Hit the Road, Jacks and don't
- 0:44Speaker 1: you come back no more? No more, No more, no more?
- 0:48Speaker 1: Hit the Road, Jacks. Hey, and don't you come back
- 0:51Speaker 1: no More? But Britney stays Jacks. I'm just saying, bro,
- 1:03Speaker 1: after this finale, I see why the Walking papers were
- 1:08Speaker 1: FedEx laminated, delivered by the late Ed McMahon with no
- 1:13Speaker 1: million dollar check in toe. So let's just get right
- 1:17Speaker 1: into the epicness that was the Valley finale. So Jacks
- 1:22Speaker 1: Taylor decided to hop on Bravo and tried to read
- 1:27Speaker 1: Danny of Danny's alleged drinking problems, which was literally the
- 1:34Speaker 1: most ironic thing I have seen on this network. And
- 1:39Speaker 1: what was so ironic about it is the elephant in
- 1:42Speaker 1: the room. The phone is ringing from inside the house Jacks.
- 1:48Speaker 1: I applaud Jacks for going to rehap and yes, I'm
- 1:53Speaker 1: aware that allegedly or supposedly it wasn't for drinking. But
- 1:58Speaker 1: everybody has said that Jack's has had issues with substance,
- 2:03Speaker 1: whether it was drugs, alcohol. He's saying anger was his
- 2:11Speaker 1: main thing. A lot of the people on the show
- 2:15Speaker 1: are saying the substance is what created the anger in Jackson.
- 2:21Speaker 1: But still Jack's felt the need to read Danny. But
- 2:25Speaker 1: before he did that, he's talking to the guys and
- 2:28Speaker 1: he said that Danny is two face and is a
- 2:32Speaker 1: drunk who can barely walk out of the bar. He
- 2:37Speaker 1: also accused Danny of filling up girls in his bar.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Where do we go from here? Jacks is one of
- 2:47Speaker 1: those people where he feels like, if you're going to
- 2:51Speaker 1: tell on my tea, I'm going to tell yours. Jacks
- 2:56Speaker 1: is one of those people where because his problems have exposed,
- 3:01Speaker 1: he wants everybody to be exposed. I'm not saying Danny
- 3:05Speaker 1: does not have a drinking problem. What I am saying, though,
- 3:09Speaker 1: is based on what we've seen on the show, Danny
- 3:12Speaker 1: doesn't appear to have an ounce of the behavior that
- 3:16Speaker 1: we've seen Jack have a bravo from that the Plump
- 3:19Speaker 1: Rules to the Valley and his behavior in rehab when
- 3:24Speaker 1: he's calling Brittany, harassing her and having the camera us
- 3:27Speaker 1: watch her. Okay, I think that's the difference. Jack is
- 3:33Speaker 1: that guy who, like, you know, when a husband what
- 3:36Speaker 1: a coplay concert, you know what a husband is called
- 3:42Speaker 1: cheating and the whole town talks about it. And the
- 3:48Speaker 1: next thing you know, he's exposing all the men who
- 3:50Speaker 1: cheat on their wives. And it's like, why are you
- 3:53Speaker 1: talking about me? Like, ah, I didn't tell Chris Martin
- 3:58Speaker 1: to expose you jump Atron, Like, why are you exposing
- 4:02Speaker 1: my affairs? I feel like Jacks is exposing what he
- 4:07Speaker 1: believes danny affairs is with alcohol, and that to me
- 4:13Speaker 1: was just gross because based on the show, I always
- 4:19Speaker 1: felt that the cast wanted Jack to get better, and
- 4:22Speaker 1: it wasn't about exposing him for embarrassment. It was always
- 4:26Speaker 1: exposing him to be a better person. That's the difference.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Jack's your friends were exposing you for embarrassment, they were
- 4:37Speaker 1: exposing you to be a better person. What you're doing
- 4:42Speaker 1: to Danny to me is just for the embarrassment, and
- 4:46Speaker 1: I actually felt bad for Danny. Danny seems like a
- 4:49Speaker 1: great guy. If Danny has a drinking problem, then there's
- 4:54Speaker 1: a way that you talk to him about it. But
- 4:57Speaker 1: talking to him about it in front of the group
- 5:03Speaker 1: was just bad. And when they met up with each
- 5:05Speaker 1: other at the party, the Zim Party, that wasn't so zen.
- 5:10Speaker 1: That's when Jack's confronted. Danny called him a terrible drunk,
- 5:15Speaker 1: telling him that he touches girls in appropriately. And what
- 5:19Speaker 1: I loved about Danny he never denied it. He owned it.
- 5:26Speaker 1: He said that half of a year ago and it
- 5:30Speaker 1: was dealt with. And I thought to myself, that's the
- 5:34Speaker 1: difference between Danny and Ajax, because Baby, you need a declanse.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Ajax always finds any excuse for his behavior instead of
- 5:49Speaker 1: only up to it. That's the difference. Even when Ajax
- 5:54Speaker 1: is talking to Brittany and he again when he was
- 5:59Speaker 1: talking to the guys in the first seeing the episode
- 6:03Speaker 1: about like Brittany calling him as she's planting flowers in
- 6:09Speaker 1: the front yard and He's like, oh, why are you
- 6:15Speaker 1: showing me this? Good luck paying the mortgage? What does
- 6:19Speaker 1: that have to do with Brittany showing you the garden.
- 6:24Speaker 1: So again, when you confronted Brittany at this party, all
- 6:28Speaker 1: you're doing is bringing up finances. And that's why I
- 6:32Speaker 1: love that. Brittany said, I sent you the garden photos
- 6:35Speaker 1: because you said I couldn't do this without you, and
- 6:37Speaker 1: I am. And he's like, well you're now is I'm
- 6:43Speaker 1: paying forward? Good luck with that. Jack felt like because
- 6:46Speaker 1: he had money, he was able to control Brittany and
- 6:50Speaker 1: hold it over her head. And that's why I appreciate
- 6:53Speaker 1: that Brittany exposed his narcissism and gaslighting when she revealed
- 6:59Speaker 1: that their mortgage was eight thousand dollars and that Jack's
- 7:05Speaker 1: allegedly owed over a million dollars in back taxes that
- 7:08Speaker 1: he needed paid for for years. Allegedly, that's what Brittany says.
- 7:12Speaker 1: I'm just recapping when she said child. But because she
- 7:16Speaker 1: was married to him and that's her husband and she
- 7:19Speaker 1: wanted to help him, she decided that due to the
- 7:23Speaker 1: penalties that accumulated his back taxes to be over a million,
- 7:29Speaker 1: that they decided to pretty much put it on the house,
- 7:33Speaker 1: and that the mortgage went from eight thousand to seventeen
- 7:38Speaker 1: a little over a double I now have a greater
- 7:43Speaker 1: understanding of what Brittany had to go through, the fact
- 7:47Speaker 1: that she sacrificed her own financial status, her credit. Let's
- 7:52Speaker 1: have a real conversation, okay, to make sure that her
- 7:57Speaker 1: husband had a chance to right his wrongs. And the
- 8:04Speaker 1: only thing Jackson is able to do is gas like
- 8:08Speaker 1: her and make it seem like she's this awful person
- 8:13Speaker 1: and mother. And that's the difference, Jacks, between you and Danny.
- 8:19Speaker 1: At least Danny owned up to it, and I was
- 8:22Speaker 1: impressed by that because he look no shame. He didn't
- 8:25Speaker 1: have to because guess what, as a reality star that
- 8:29Speaker 1: I know, just like Niiny Leaks told Porsche on this
- 8:36Speaker 1: Season eight reunion when she told Porsche you gotta stop
- 8:40Speaker 1: fighting people. You gotta stop it. It's not a good
- 8:42Speaker 1: look for you. And Porsche said, well, didn't you choke somebody?
- 8:49Speaker 1: And Lenithia Monique Johnson Leak said, if I did, I
- 8:55Speaker 1: wasn't dumb enough to do it on camera. So that's
- 9:01Speaker 1: how Danny feels. He's like, Danny didn't have to say
- 9:04Speaker 1: it because it did not happen on camera, but he
- 9:07Speaker 1: owned up to it, and I appreciated that he actually
- 9:10Speaker 1: owned up to it, and that's the difference between Danny
- 9:16Speaker 1: and Ajax. But to see Ajax, it's just I just
- 9:21Speaker 1: don't get it, just like I don't get why Kim
- 9:24Speaker 1: Zoziak wants to meet with him for dinner. That comes
- 9:29Speaker 1: up in the reunion next week. But I just have
- 9:32Speaker 1: to gag with that one. Hey, Kim Zozak, I love you.
- 9:35Speaker 1: I don't understand why Kim Zoziak wants to meet up
- 9:37Speaker 1: with Jack Child. That is not the person from the
- 9:40Speaker 1: Valley I want to meet with. I want to meet
- 9:43Speaker 1: with Jesse Lally. I want to meet with Zach. I
- 9:46Speaker 1: think Zach is hilarious. Will get to his behavior and
- 9:49Speaker 1: his outburst. Honey, I like ZAXX. He's a good time. Jasmine,
- 9:56Speaker 1: I want to hang out with her. Did I say,
- 9:59Speaker 1: Jesse Jesse, FYI, you've got some competition because Ryan from
- 10:19Speaker 1: the Orange County is trying to beat you as the
- 10:25Speaker 1: hottest person, I mean, the hottest man on Bravo. I'm
- 10:29Speaker 1: just saying, a child, Jesse Lally, you got some competition
- 10:33Speaker 1: between you and Ryan, Honey, but Rain draws. Let me
- 10:37Speaker 1: know who's hotter, Jesse Lally or Ryan from Orange County.
- 10:46Speaker 1: I love a pole p O l L. Anyways, so
- 10:52Speaker 1: I digress. Let's get back to the show. I do
- 10:59Speaker 1: want to get into Jesse and Michelle. Speaking of Jesse, look,
- 11:03Speaker 1: I do be this. I love seeing Jesse and Michelle
- 11:07Speaker 1: have a mature conversation based on where things are in
- 11:12Speaker 1: their relationship because at the end of the day, they
- 11:17Speaker 1: are raising a beautiful young girl, and when you have
- 11:24Speaker 1: a child that young, the best thing you can do
- 11:28Speaker 1: is be the best co parents to each other because
- 11:32Speaker 1: kids her age can feel the energy good or bad,
- 11:36Speaker 1: and I would rather that smart little girl to feel
- 11:38Speaker 1: the good energy. So I appreciated that Jesse. Hey a
- 11:43Speaker 1: Jax another one. Jesse took full accountability. Even told Michelle,
- 11:50Speaker 1: this divorce is not your fault, it's our fault, and
- 11:55Speaker 1: he gets emotional as he's saying it, like that's the
- 11:59Speaker 1: redemption that I think we all wanted, at least for Jack's.
- 12:04Speaker 1: I think we were all proud that, when I think
- 12:07Speaker 1: everybody was. We were all proud that Jack decided to
- 12:12Speaker 1: go to rehab because it shows responsibility and accountability, and
- 12:19Speaker 1: that's tough. A lot of people just would never go.
- 12:21Speaker 1: So I'm happy that he decided to go. But to
- 12:26Speaker 1: leave rehab and still be an asshole. It's like you
- 12:31Speaker 1: did nothing there except used it as room and board,
- 12:35Speaker 1: Like the work clearly wasn't being taken seriously because you
- 12:40Speaker 1: got out of rehab still being an asshole, Whereas you
- 12:46Speaker 1: see Jesse emoting to his strange wife that this divorce
- 12:53Speaker 1: is not your fault. I take full of countability for
- 12:56Speaker 1: my actions in this. And it was nice to see
- 13:00Speaker 1: the joke at the end about it, like just have
- 13:03Speaker 1: a a good situation. I really enjoy that. And it's
- 13:09Speaker 1: sad that Jacks could not take a page out of
- 13:13Speaker 1: the Book of Accountability that Jesse, Lally and Danny wrote
- 13:18Speaker 1: the forward for just saying it would have been nice
- 13:21Speaker 1: to see that, but he doesn't want to do that,
- 13:26Speaker 1: and I think a lot of that had to do
- 13:31Speaker 1: with the fate of his demise on the show. And
- 13:35Speaker 1: as the three part reunion is coming up and he
- 13:39Speaker 1: has first chair, I it's just sad to see him
- 13:47Speaker 1: not being able to finish the two shows he's been on.
- 13:51Speaker 1: And honestly, rain drops, I have no idea where Jacks
- 13:56Speaker 1: can go from here. I don't know. I'm a producer
- 14:02Speaker 1: and I can't even tell you. Besides House villains. I
- 14:05Speaker 1: just don't know what more he can do, and I
- 14:09Speaker 1: don't see a world where they're going to bring him back.
- 14:11Speaker 1: I'm me love child. They brought back Lala Honey and
- 14:16Speaker 1: filmed with her newborn baby, which to me was sort
- 14:20Speaker 1: of a way of telling us the audience that Jackson
- 14:24Speaker 1: is out, that Lala's in Honey. I feel like Laala's
- 14:29Speaker 1: about the joint next season. That's the full time cast member.
- 14:33Speaker 1: She's great television, she has a hit podcast, she's beautiful,
- 14:38Speaker 1: she's great look, She's great TV. So I my advice
- 14:45Speaker 1: to you, Lala, if you're listening, just don't bring the
- 14:49Speaker 1: same old stick to the Valley that you kind of
- 14:53Speaker 1: had your ladd Oft season on BPR, because one thing
- 14:56Speaker 1: about the Valley is super organic. It's I feel like
- 14:59Speaker 1: it's super real. Not saying you were being real, but
- 15:03Speaker 1: I don't need anybody playing up to the cameras like
- 15:07Speaker 1: the Valley cast, to me, is one of the best
- 15:09Speaker 1: cast on the network. And I don't want La La
- 15:12Speaker 1: to come in thinking this is like VPR because we
- 15:14Speaker 1: don't need that. But I would love for the record
- 15:20Speaker 1: to see, you know, La La back, And I thought
- 15:23Speaker 1: it was a big deal that the cameras were able
- 15:25Speaker 1: to show her newborn baby. I really, really, really enjoy that.
- 15:33Speaker 1: What I did not enjoy was Janet missus Jackson if
- 15:37Speaker 1: nasty baby. They don't like you, and you don't like them,
- 15:41Speaker 1: and you need to go, Janet. I don't know where
- 15:44Speaker 1: you can go from here. Baby. They don't like you boo,
- 15:47Speaker 1: and rightfully so, because you're kind of just like you know,
- 15:55Speaker 1: you know, Jenna, you're.
- 15:57Speaker 2: Kind of unlikable baby, and and maybe there's a redemption
- 16:01Speaker 2: arc at the reunion, but they don't like you, especially
- 16:07Speaker 2: my boy Zach.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Zach gave me. Zach belongs on the Real Housewives of
- 16:12Speaker 1: New Jersey Baby Past Zach and this Zach is hilarious.
- 16:18Speaker 1: He's dramatic, his eyes pop out of his socket. He's emotional,
- 16:25Speaker 1: he cries, he yells child. He's mad at Britney Honey
- 16:32Speaker 1: for having Janice back and acts if she was under
- 16:35Speaker 1: the same spell. He's telling her, I need your help, Brittany,
- 16:39Speaker 1: what are you doing here? His boyfriend tries to console him.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Zach was giving me all of the things that I needed.
- 16:48Speaker 1: I think he's hilarious, and I think he's fantastic television,
- 16:52Speaker 1: and I think he's the future of the valley. I
- 16:55Speaker 1: love Zach. Zach's a hot mess. But I the thing
- 17:00Speaker 1: Janet that I will say. Even when she tried to
- 17:03Speaker 1: apologize to Nia, I don't know, uh. I felt like
- 17:10Speaker 1: there was a part of me that felt like, did
- 17:12Speaker 1: the producers tell you, Like, Janet, girl, we are trying
- 17:18Speaker 1: so hard to make you like a boat, please apologize
- 17:23Speaker 1: to Nia. Let's put the double A batteries in your back.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Let us spend you around like the Megan Doll in
- 17:30Speaker 1: the Horror movie and let you run into the rs
- 17:33Speaker 1: of Nia like a Celine Dion song in Vegas, and
- 17:39Speaker 1: see if you have the capabilities to be warm. And
- 17:44Speaker 1: the moments he tried baby, Nia's like, I'm not here
- 17:48Speaker 1: for it. Nia feels like Jana's actions just are have
- 17:53Speaker 1: been too unbelievable and it's going to be a hard
- 17:57Speaker 1: he'll for her to swallow. And I understand that Janet
- 18:01Speaker 1: has a lot of work to do in order to
- 18:04Speaker 1: be back friends without or look, Janet can own up
- 18:09Speaker 1: to being a villain, and if that's the case, then
- 18:12Speaker 1: do it. But if you're going to be the villain,
- 18:15Speaker 1: you really have to just run with it. And I
- 18:18Speaker 1: know you studied reality television, but all the great villains
- 18:23Speaker 1: have owned it and understood the assignment. Jacks is the
- 18:29Speaker 1: longer on the show anymore, so there is room Janet
- 18:33Speaker 1: for the villain role a lot the application. Okay, I
- 18:39Speaker 1: would be one of your references that you need to
- 18:43Speaker 1: put down and I will advocate for you to be
- 18:46Speaker 1: the villain to replace Jacks. I want to see Janet
- 18:49Speaker 1: a while I get into it. I do because Kristen
- 18:53Speaker 1: tried to read the girl, and Kristen does a good
- 18:55Speaker 1: job at it. But Baby, no one can read of
- 18:58Speaker 1: the girls on this type of show. Then Lalla, so
- 19:03Speaker 1: rain Drops, let me know if you two will love
- 19:09Speaker 1: to see a read session between Janet and La La
- 19:14Speaker 1: next season. Hit me up in the comments. Okay, But
- 19:17Speaker 1: what I will say is this the Valley congratulations on
- 19:22Speaker 1: an epic season two. This cast, I mean tens across
- 19:27Speaker 1: the board. It's a very interesting, dynamic, dysfunctional group of
- 19:33Speaker 1: people that I'm invested in. So I tipped my hat
- 19:39Speaker 1: off to the epicness and the wonderfulness of Jesse Lally Beatrin.
- 19:47Speaker 2: The Valley.
