1:17
I tell you? Okay, Sally Foster, is this coming out? Yes,
1:21
the great, the great and beautiful Emily Foster coming out to day which
1:23
is Thursday. Okay, So tomorrow, I am putting up a piece and
1:30
I'm gonna give you a little preview here. Oh. I was talking to
1:33
a youth and I was like, what do you you know? What's happening
1:36
for back to school? What are you wearing? What are the trends,
1:38
what are people buying? What's the tech? Like? What what's what tech?
1:44
Are we marching into the fall with? You know? And when she
1:49
talked about tech, she said something that blow my goddamn hairbrack. And I
1:57
was with her dad and we were both sort of stumped. I don't know
2:00
what she was like, and and maybe you've done this deep dive. I
2:05
had not. She was like, well, I don't ever use AI to
2:10
write papers, but some of my friends do. And her and her dad
2:15
and I were like, huh, you know, like we just were like
2:20
like chat GP like AI you mean no, yeah, exactly exactly. Okay,
2:25
so wow, so now this is logical, makes sense, right,
2:30
But I just hadn't gone through the mental journey that that's what kids could do.
2:36
And her dad was like, oh, well, I'm sure the teachers
2:38
can figure that out. And she was like, not really, because it's
2:43
different based on what you plug in. So last night, I downloaded an
2:47
AI app and I got to punch in some things in and it was it
2:55
generates a whole shebang in seconds. Have you dealt with this yet? Amy,
3:02
I feel you have. Have you played around? This podcast may or
3:06
may not be done by GPT substack holler shout shout out, No, No,
3:15
I haven't, because you know, I just feel like terrified of it.
3:20
Also, I don't want it to take over. But I understand that,
3:22
well, it's coming. It's here, it's with us, it's with
3:27
us, and that's alarming. And I you know now, because you and
3:30
I are running our own businesses here, I was like, let me say
3:32
what this is all about. I threw in a little prompt so then I
3:38
asked it to make it funny. It was so spun out and confusing,
3:43
so that will all be. I took screen grabs. Those will be in
3:46
the substack tomorrow. And I hope now you guys make your way over there.
3:51
Okay, good? And that is how to be less old dot substack
3:54
dot com. Deanna Chang. Today we are talking the Real Housewives of Orange
4:00
County and I know yeah, and I can't believe that next week is the
4:06
finale. But today, we're doing this week, which was an amazing episode
4:11
and truly, truly, truly Tomorrow, Deanna and I will be doing Southern
4:16
Charm Now, the bonus episode this week, and if I might say myself,
4:23
if I do say so myself, it's not done by AI, it
4:26
is done by myself, Jamie Moyer and Angela Quintana. We recapped Candy and
4:31
Todds The Pass and I gotta tell you you're gonna want to listen to this
4:38
episode. We had a making ball and just when I thought that, like,
4:44
you can have more fun watching a movie than talking about it with two
4:46
of your girlfriends, Like it was so much fun. And the video is
4:50
up on my Patreon, but you got to go to Patreon and you have
4:54
to sign up for Tier two because that's how you're gonna get Oh wait,
4:56
actually, let me take that back. I made this episode available to all
5:00
tiers. You did, yes, yes, you did. You said tears,
5:08
all tiers, all tiers you know, tears, all the tears because
5:13
you're you're getting a free week because I want tears. What's up tears?
5:18
I want you guys in Tier one to know this is the type of stuff
5:23
you're going to get when you sign up for the bonus episodes, which is
5:26
like Tier two or three, so you know you're gonna get this type of
5:30
stuff also in tier two. Your it's just it's just it's a fun time.
5:34
Anyway, whatever bonus stuff is the past this week, and there's a
5:39
new feature on Patreon. It's not available for everyone who's on Patreon, by
5:44
the way, okay, but because they just I mean, listen, I
5:47
love the term, which I know maybe you need to cover it on your
5:51
sub stack, but and and actually most people probably already know this, but
5:56
I love the phase. It's like the it's called the beta phase. And
6:00
and in Housewives terms, that would be called discovery. You know, as
6:03
Karen Huger calls that she's in discovery, that's what we would call beta phase
6:09
in the real world. So like, right, this chat feature is kind
6:13
of like in beta fays, much like my merch is in beta fays right
6:17
now. But I do, by the way, place an order for some
6:21
real hot drama darling mugs, which I'm super excited about. Two so I'll
6:27
give you an update on that later. But I need to do just two
6:30
more announcements before we get into all the content on today's show, and that
6:34
is Oh I should tell you you can go to patreon dot com back slash
6:39
drama Darling. Well, say, here's what I like about the chat.
6:45
That is that feature in the beta phase, right, that's the right.
6:48
So what I like about it amy is like it's all in one place,
6:53
and I actually when I have to march myself over to a discord, it's
6:58
like, well, let me be in that disc and have everything over there,
7:01
or let me be over here. But it's hard to bounce around,
7:04
so I love it, just is hard. So to have it all in
7:09
the Patreon app is where I'm getting it. Is that and that's where the
7:13
beta phase has it for us. Yeah, the beta nice and it's on
7:16
the app on your phone. So it's like it's so easy because like for
7:19
me, I'm the same way, Like I love the discord for like long
7:24
form chats and stuff like that. When there's categories and things like that,
7:27
Like there's a Bravo con category. Everyone can chime in there for whatever you
7:30
want to do meetups and but like and you can also do that on the
7:33
chat, but you know you do you have to open up a whole other
7:36
app. And that was my whole thing with Patreon. I'm like, can
7:40
you, like, are you gonna get is there any other kind of feature
7:43
you're gonna have on here where people don't have to leave this sucking app to
7:46
like chat it up where they can start the conversation. Yeah, because on
7:50
discord you can start that. Anyone can start the conversation. But I'm a
7:54
Patreon page only I can post something and it's supposed to be and then people
7:59
can chime in after that in comments. But it's not really user friendly for
8:03
people who want to start ship, you know. Yeah, and it just
8:07
started up. It's start a little something in the morning or in the afternoon
8:11
or before you go to bed. It's nice to start a little shit right
8:13
before you go to bed and then see what comes up in the morning and
8:16
know that's this morning. It is what's waiting for. Yeah, you know,
8:22
I think it depends where things are, like, you know, but
8:26
but I'm personally over on your Patreon on the app, that's where I go.
8:33
That's where I march myself. Okay, So I like now that that
8:37
is where the chat is. Yeah, just the little bubbles at the bottom
8:41
of the page and you're like, you hit it and the next thing,
8:43
you know, you've got a gift or a picture of I don't even want
8:48
to say, say what you have to say, say it. It's you
8:54
the Patreon. It's for the Patreon. I don't mean I'm not trying to,
8:56
like, you know, be sneakier like that. I'm just saying,
9:01
like, you guys had the freedom to do whatever you want, and so
9:03
funny things happen. But anyway, so that's what's happening over there. Now.
9:09
I have this event you guys heard about it. It's Reality Bites Live.
9:13
It's with chef Stewart O'Keeffe, and we did announce this week that Emily
9:18
Simpson is going to be our surprise guest at our Happy Hour event and Kristen
9:22
Tateman is going to be our specialist guest at the Brutch Stop It. And
9:26
this is so cool because Takeman is like she's going to be on the Ultimate
9:31
Girls Trip, you know, the Legends with New York. So this is
9:37
I can't wait to get just reacquainted with that Takeman and her. I always
9:43
liked her, you know, yeah, I mean she did never what you
9:50
do, like two seasons, three seasons. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
9:54
she had that popa color nail polish that she had going for I loved
9:58
it, by the way, I'm and I never bought it, but I
10:01
loved it in theory. Yes, right, Yeah, she's someone I just
10:07
like, Yes, she's beautiful, gorgeous beyond. But I enjoyed her presence
10:13
on the show. I also like an energy. I like different energies.
10:18
I need it. I have to have personally, Yes, to have it.
10:22
You can't have all shooters, you knows, with just garlic. You
10:28
know, you gotta have your regino. Yeah, you've got to have garlic
10:31
powder. You know. You you're gonna need salting dipper. You're gonna need

11:11
very impressed with what they put together for the swag bag. I was like,
11:15

11:20

11:54

12:28
please do not forward or share with anyone under twenty one and please darlings drink
12:33
responsibly. So that was just a lot of announcements, but that's okay because
12:39
it's just an exciting time. I'm literally wearing my Bravo Holics sweatshirt right now
12:43
that I got as part of the swag from Bravocon last year, which I'm
12:46
super obsessed, so cute with it. It's cozy, it's nice. Yeah,
12:50
a war to drop off. I was like, you know what they're
12:52
gonna have to know I'm a Bravo Holic. Yeah, they're just gonna thanks
12:56
stand in your truth, do you know what I mean? Thanks of s
13:01
well serving Well, well, well, we've got a little bit of an
13:05
update in our dish today and that is that the Daily Mail is reporting exclusively
13:09
that Shannon Madoor visited her ex boyfriend John Jansen in his Newport house boat kidding,
13:16
it's a beach house. But and this is she was there, I
13:20
guess before she got her DUI they're saying. And then the other thing is
13:26
that they've got pictures of her going back recently as of yesterday or perhaps don't
13:31
know when they got the picture of her visiting John Jansen just recently. It
13:35
looks as if her arm was in a sling, because her arm was not
13:41
in the jacket, and they had said that she I want to say her
13:46
maybe her face, maybe she had some bruising to her face. I'm not
13:50
sure, but this was the first time that she has been seen out since
13:54
the incident. Deanna thoughts. I will say, seeing the footage of the
14:03
actual event, the crash, the right camera footage, Okay, it was
14:11
really startling, really bad, really bad, you know, And as much
14:22
as I love Shannon and I do, it's painful to just like, I
14:33
don't know, I'm really at a loss for words in terms of the how
14:41
bad that could have been, you know. And if you know anyone who
14:43
has ever lost a person from a drunk driving incident, you can't breathe.
14:50
It's the most senseless, cruel, avoidable situation. And it's just painful because
14:58
I think everyone roots for Shannon. I mean, at least I do,
15:03
you know, I you just I love her, I know, of course,
15:07
that's why this is hers. It's painful and it's serious, and I
15:13
just what do we think of like John and her seeing he looked, you
15:16
know, definitely there was a million paparazzi there. You could tell by the
15:20
way he was kind of looking over his shoulder. And this is bad.
15:24
I mean, you know, hopefully it will be like listen, Lou had
15:28
a major turnaround, would you say after her arrest she kind of turned her
15:33
life around in many ways. Yeah. I think she has gone to rehabit
15:39
that ale of times. Perhaps, yes, Well, you know, it
15:41
wasn't for everybody. Yeah, and that and that's why it's a journey.
15:46
John Jansen did break his silence by saying that he said we are friends.
15:50
I care about her, and he also denied that the two had had a
15:54
fight the night of her arrest, adding, I have no comment they had
15:58
a fight. There's no two it's about that. Sorry, I love you,
16:03
Yeah, don't fight. They just did well, she's you know,
16:08
it doesn't make sense why she'd be leaving that late at night with Archie in
16:11
the car. It seems like they were probably snuggled in. Something happened,
16:17
and then, you know, and then she left with Archie and they're very
16:22
they had lived very close apparently, so right, And that's where people get
16:26
comfortable. They're like, it's just around the block. It's just three blocks
16:30
away, it's just six blocks away. It's not a big deal. And
16:33
who's to say she left upset and that's why she's, you know, cruising
16:37
around that corner. You know, that is what happened. Like I hate
16:41
to be so sure about something. Yes for me from Deanna Chang. Not
16:47
allegedly, Okay, it's facts. She was in and like she was drunk
16:52
and emotional, but on this podcast it's allegedly, but in my heart and
17:02
in my vagina, not allegedly like but in this podcast allegedly, but like
17:07
that was a woman in a state, right like she I don't know she
17:12
was, Yeah, well it's very you know. I like that she was
17:18
with Vicky. Vicky was helping her. The other night she was behind the
17:21
gates because the paparazzi and things like that. I I just hope that things
17:23
get better with uh yeah, with Shannon, and everyone's rock bottom is different.
17:32
Yeah, So whatever this is for her, I hope that it goes
17:34
in the right direction because I mean, as you said, we root for
17:38
Shannon, and I just thank god. I just thank whatever whomever. I
17:44
thank the shaman from Orange County on this week, you know, anyone just
17:48
yeah that no one was injured, and no one was hurt, nobody died
17:53
and and and she was hurt. You know, everyone's concerned about Archie.
18:00
We do want a status update on Archie. I wish we did have that
18:03
sale update. And so that being said, that is the update on Shannon
18:08
Bador. We will I'm sure you know obviously be probably reporting on this like
18:11
every day because of everything going on in other news. Danielle Stobbs daughter Christine
18:19
is engaged. She actually yes, oh your reactions So I love This is
18:26
why I like don't tell like telling people yeah news before we go, because
18:32
of like their reactions. Wow, how old is she? Amy? Let
18:38
me see here if it's in the People article. The People has the exclusive
18:44
and I before I even saw this article, I saw Danielle's post because Danielle
18:48
posted a picture of her of Christine's ring, because essentially it was a shout
18:56
out very much to the jeweler, you know, like she was like,
19:00
and get your jewelry, a jewelry by Alex, you know, and she
19:04
was like, this is my my beautiful engagement ring for my beautiful daughter and
19:08
her fiance. That's him in the picture. He's gonna be my future son
19:12
in law. Great and then it's awesome. Yeah, yeah, it's really
19:19
cute. I'm very happy for her. Oh, no, blast she is.
19:25
It's not saying probably maybe early twenties like I would give her, although
19:29
it just it's it's shamed because you know, yeah, mid twenties. Wow,
19:33
this shows have really been with us a long time. It's like we
19:37
just we haven't been around her, you know, I know. Gosh yeah,
19:44
truly madly and deeply. Uh what else? Oh, there are some
19:49
talks this has been bubbling around, but I wanted to ask your opinion on
19:52
this, that Leah McSweeney might join Real Housewives of New York. I'm sure
19:56
you saw that. I like it stacking around, Yeah, you like it.
20:00
I mean I think that she could definitely blend with them. My vote
20:04
would be more for Tinsley. I agree with that. Oh my gosh,
20:10
yeah, I think either of them would work. You know, the show
20:17
is also so new and the friendships are feels so new that it feels like
20:22
you could add someone in at this time and you know it's not or it
20:29
would be great. Yeah, I agree. Okay. Oh. Also,
20:33
this is actually very cool. I was excited to see this. This is
20:37
also Real Housewives of Orange County News, and that is that Gina posted that
20:41
she just sold a property. She said, so excited about my clients the
20:48
move into that new and it's a picture of her and she says, I
20:55
mean it's a two bedroom, two and a half bath. It looks like
20:59
it's a townhouse or a condo. And it was seven hundred and fifteen thousand
21:06
dollars. So good for her. She is great. I'm gonna put the
21:08
post up here. Look how cute it's that she's a real realtor my place.
21:14
That's like, yeah, that's like my dad's townhouse. That's she sold
21:18
my home right from under me. There you go. Wow, mission Brancho,
21:26
Mission Viejo. So I'm very happy about that. I just I like
21:30
the journey. I like the journey. Yes, we love to see uh
21:33
you know success, absolutely absolutely, we don't. Uh you know there will
21:37
be hurdles in life. Whatever you do is going to have hurdles. Captain
21:44
Jason just snuck up behind you, boodles, hoodles. I don't know if
21:49
you've discussed this. Yeah, but did you see him on Watch What Happens
21:52
Live with Asia? Well no, but I've I've gotten some messages. I'm
21:59
like, I am sweaty, I need the a c up. But like
22:03

22:22
the ages for sure. Uh yeah, you away from you know what?
22:40
I actually didn't hear it like that the first time, but like with that
22:44
beat in the back, you took my phone. You took my phone.
22:48
You took my phone? Who are you to take my phone? Like,
22:51
I just think it t Kyle needs to do a remix of this. Can

23:22
cast Wow, vacation this this, this vacation. There are so many activities
23:29
and they are showing up Collie Gee. I mean even just the property alone
23:33
is so expansive. When listen, I vomited when I learned Shannon was brushing
23:41
her teeth with a towel. With that said, first of all, and
23:45
that is like rich people when they don't know how to get a basic done.
23:51
Like it's so insane to me and it makes me crazy. It's like
23:56
I don't know what to tell you. But there's there's like send a pa
24:02
out, like we need you with a toothbrush. I don't are the basics
24:06
like this is. There's no excuse because even when your luggage is lost,
24:11
what's the first thing you do. You go to the store. You get
24:14
a toothbrush, you get so or whatever you need for your face. Probably
24:18
Genna, you're gonna want to get some underpants, some socks, please,
24:22
whatever you need to do. You got to cover your bases and the bear
24:26
essentials. I mean the fact that she's brushing her teeth on. It's hard.
24:33
It was really hard with that sex. Listen, there's a lot of
24:37
alcohol involved and so well that alcohol is killing killing off. So I mean
24:42
that being said, alcohol will get you funky out like that combination if but
24:49
when they pan through that property, I'm like, it is massive and confusing.
24:56
So it's such a ours juxtaposition to where we are in Salt Lake City
25:03
at Tricksy's place, which is barren. I mean, why was there no
25:07
one else there? Amy? Why are we there? It's because it's not
25:11
meant to be. It's almost like a heightened Airbnb if you want to call
25:15
it that. There's only seven rooms. It's a private experience, I understand.
25:22
So I think that it's more like you know, a boutique you know,
25:27
party house situation. Yeah yeah, so divorce party right. Yeah.
25:40
So any way, so where do we where do we begin? Okay,
25:44
where do we begin? Well, you know, we got we're on the
25:48
heels of this Tamera and Jen situation where Tamra's just calling her out by saying
25:55
like you're fake your fende or just death and then be smart and then then
26:02
then Jen storms out, and Emily's like, you brought up new people at
26:06
the gym. Go have some compassion and and it was just so funny that
26:11
she like she brought up new people at the gym. And then Jen is
26:15
very overcome, and so Jen goes in and Taylor is just a good wing
26:19
girl. When you're like, Taylor is gonna show up when no one else
26:25
is that same thing down. I was love Taylor. She is really has
26:30
she had many moments, no, but she is totally authentic. Yes,
26:37
they're not a false beat. There's not a pushed beat coming off of her,
26:41
not one, and that is not nothing. And I believed her genuine
26:55
you know conversations that she had and that's really special to have with Jen and
27:00
then later Heather, which yeah, I think it was. You know.
27:04
The other thing is that Taylor's already endeared to us, so she doesn't have
27:08
to do much, which is great for her, and so she just the
27:12
stakes are so low, and I'm so glad that she feels committed to just
27:15
being herself and isn't like, well, I'm now I'm back on this,
27:18
so I have to prove myself and instead she just like, you know,
27:22
she just basically is there for Jen, and she's like, are you okay?
27:26
And that's it, you know. And then here Jen is like,
27:30
Tara is bringing up how you were fucking some girl for a year, but
27:33
you said it was one night and his reaction was really interesting. He's like,
27:37
I understand, I understand. I'm like, uh, what are you
27:41
gonna say? Like that's not true? And even though I know next week
27:44
he does say it, He's like, you know everything you already know.
27:47
And then her confronting him, saying, if there's anything I don't know,
27:49
it better come from your mouth, because if I sit across room, damn
27:52
row one more time, I'm going to come undone. And this was Jen
27:56
coming undone at least to the degree we have not seen before, which was
28:00
kind of nice to see. And yeah, and then he just said it
28:06
was he had told her about the one night stand and not a one year
28:08
thing. So this was wild to hear this one year accusation. That was
28:12
new information. I don't I don't think we really saw Ryan on the FaceTime,
28:19
but I know he was wearing a jean jacket with all kinds of jazz
28:23
jazz going on. Just that much we can count on yeah, and that's
28:27
comforting. At least we have that we do have that that we have,
28:32
we can we can chuck ourselves into bed and I knowing that we have it
28:36
not alledged and not allegedly. You are so right about that. I want
28:42
to say that while we're talking about Jen and I'm kind of sleeping ahead,
28:48
but not fully. I won't stay ahead. But she did mention something about,
28:53
you know, at one of the dinners, I think, saying that
28:56
she was upset, you know, being divorced. Getting divorced is hard,
29:00
you know, and that her marriage. She said something like, I don't
29:04
know why I wasn't enough woman for him. Yeah, well so we have
29:11
to hint. What kind of hint? Well, what does that mean that
29:22
he cheated? I don't know, maybe what what kind of I just think
29:26
it's like to me, you know what that sounds like. It sounds like
29:30
they weren't intimate, that he wasn't interested in having sex or maybe he I
29:37
don't know, if he cheated. I think that we would have heard that
29:38
by now, because she was I think we would have husband. Yeah,
29:45
we definitely we had n't. It was something, but we always have to
29:49
flash back, and I'll never not flash back in my own mind to the
29:53
picture of her that they showed us one time, what she looked like prior
30:00
to what she looks like now. And it is so she that tracks because
30:07
she did such a transform. Maischon, Yes, And she's not trusting it
30:15
with this Ryan because he's seeing her. You know, she looked like a
30:19
very pretty regular woman in her late forties, early fifties, whatever it is,
30:26
right, that's what that was. The picture like, you know,
30:30
the picture was regular lady, pretty regular lady. Now we have That's how
30:37
I addressed myself in the mirror every day, asn't matter. Good, dyke,
30:41
pretty irregular lady? Are you you're looking pretty irregular? All right,
30:48
let's get on with that, dy a sweet affirmation. I am pretty,
30:55
I am regular. I am regular lady. Yes, I hear you.
31:03
But now she is you know, body be banging, face shot up,
31:11
done up, you know, worked up and hotti toddy put toatty waddie.
31:15
You know, so Fa feathers with us for better or worse. And you
31:25
know she it's like, these are two different people, these are two different
31:30
looks and and and that's obviously it's the same person with two different looks,
31:37
but it feels like having that information about where her husband was at, maybe
31:44
he had sort of lost interest in her physically. Possibly, you know,
31:48
now she looks like she does and she's with Jean Jacket, and and she
31:56
doesn't she cannot trust him on many levels. But even if he wasn't a
32:00
serial cheater, she's like, well, does he just like me? Because
32:04
of how I look right now? Like that is going to be there for
32:07
her? You know, I agree. I think that that one hint that
32:15
she gave us, and she really did finally open up about this divorce and
32:21
why it's happening and why she is the one who's filing, which is because
32:24
it sounds like he is not neblacked, yes, and she doesn't feel loved
32:30
and appreciated by him. And so therefore, boom, transformation, boom.
32:37
You get a player who can go gaga over you and allegedly other women as
32:44
well, but nonetheless gaga over you, and you've been missing that for so
32:47
long. So this all checks out. So now this situation with Vicky at
32:57
dinner, because we'll just land there, which is that she's like, Riot's
33:05
the dirty wed. You know, I'm cubbing too. Woman's to a woman,
33:07
you've got five kids, you should have made that marriage work. You
33:09
gotta work, You gotta work at your marriage. And that was just like
33:14
offensive for everybody. But then g and G is like, you don't need
33:17
in slow motion, it's a stringer. And then Vicky says, I left
33:27
my husband for a loser and I will never forgive myself and I hope that's
33:30
not you. And then Gina's like, I back it up. I see
33:35
you got her back, which is the whole point. And I liked if
33:38
Vicky could have just kind of front loaded that statement first, sure would have
33:43
been helpful. It would have been helpful to not make her look bad in
33:45
that moment. But I totally get it. I mean, and Vicky,
33:50
she's speaking her truth, and she's you know, she's sounding the alarm and
33:53
she's saying, don't do what I did. I'll say it. I can't
33:58
just sit here quietly. And Jen hears it, you know, she she
34:02
hears it. She didn't. I love this scene because she opened up more,
34:07
which is what we just talked about. Vicky warned her from a very
34:12
transparent place, and then Shannon had a wonderful, loving moment, which I
34:15
love. She was like, it breaks, it breaks my heart for you,
34:19
Sweatie. I just I just have empathy for you. And that's why
34:21
I just I want to believe everything's good. And I really believe that from
34:24
Shannon, and it was so nice to see her, you know, be
34:28
so supportive. I'm you're Amy. This is the send this clip the last
34:36
five minutes into the Emmys because this is too crazy, like it's too fully
34:42
realized. I can't, I can't. Oh, let's get in a card.
34:47
Just send it in. Okay, it's a fully real fully clip.
34:52
It's just too good, too crazy clip. Oh my god. Well,
35:00
yes, I really loved that scene. I really really did. And then
35:05
we can just talk a little bit about them going on some of their you
35:13
know, little events, and so they went excursions. Thank you. That's
35:15
that's what it is. And in the vans, you know, Heather is
35:20
starting to get really you know, she this is the beginning where she's starting
35:23
to feel really were in the middle, I should say that attacked and Shannon,
35:30
she comes out of the van. She said, John says you can't
35:31
touch the turtles because they have bacteria. And then Emily's annoyed talks about how
35:38
she's annoyed about Heather's nonsense of humor, and then Gina kind of defends Heather
35:44
with saying, like she's sensitive. I think it's from her childhood because her
35:46
mom puts her down, and we see that flashback of her mom kind of
35:50
mocking her to that very tough because I have noticed that. I mean,
35:54
I know her mom's kind of hard, but I just didn't see it that
35:58
way, and I thought that was just it was I actually yeah, I
36:04
was like, oh, Hea, there has some demons with that mom for
36:08
sure. Yeah, that was that lady. Is is not who I will
36:12
want from a mom. No, No, it was tough to watch.
36:16
And then we there's some parasailing, but Vicki's story about the parasailor outside of
36:22
her condo was some fun stories on this episode. Journeys real life journeys,
36:32
no literal journeys. I you know Victoria Gumbelson love her hater. God,
36:42
did she liven up the joint. You know, she's really hit her stride
36:46
by being just have her. Let's have her show up to every girl's trip,
36:52
just in the middle of it and see any yeah, any franchise,
36:55
just march on over because she're right, like we the anger is subdued.
37:07
You know, she's not coming in like I think she got so toxic on
37:10
the show, but she's totally herself and she's loosened up like her you know,
37:22
getting a happy ending? Was I feel like the old Vicky would never
37:30
have said that, because no, certainly not right, because the Christian stuff
37:36
like Christian whoes are my favorite, that's for sure. No one's crazier than
37:40
a Christian whorror. And that is Victoria gumbleson to a tea because it's such
37:49
a push and pull, you know, which why it's like delightful to watch.
37:54
But and the massage happened a long long time ago? So how long?
38:00
Oh? I don't have the numbers, but I know it's not recent,
38:05
right or what? So that's why, well I don't know, I
38:08
know, but I mean to learn that you give them like how do you
38:12
learn the signal of how you want a happy ending that you put your feet
38:15
up into a frog position? Who told you that? Yeah? What?
38:21
Other us like Christian dot com. There those tips you can find. But
38:30
I did love that. They're like, well, how much is this type
38:31
of massage cost? She's like forty dollars? How much you do tip a
38:35
couple hundred. I mean it was so burious boom, like hitting on all
38:39
sal killers killers. And then the parent sailing story that parasit blew past,
38:45
she flew past my robe, she flew past my balcony that next you string
38:50
broke, and then she goes flag it's about step it to be heard from
38:52
again. It's like what what? And then then she goes and does the
38:57
pair of sailing, and that was you know, I at one point I
39:01
didn't care if it was real or fake with the screaming, but I was
39:06
like, I don't know how real this is, but I don't care because
39:08
her screaming buddy murder. But to see her come off of that and just
39:14
straight up her bile into the ocean, Yeah, And I loved Heather.
39:20
Trying to take her to her happy place at Codo Insurance was one of Heather's
39:24
best moments I've ever seen. And and to be that like leveled, like
39:31
you know, in the like that, and to know it was amazing.
39:37
It's not nothing right when somebody is completely coming undone and you're hundreds of feet
39:44
in the air, is I don't know how many ID a joke, But
39:46
she was like she was like, oh, put your feet up like the
39:51
massage. I was like, yeah, yeah, Heather, you do great
39:57
parasailing joke work. Oh my god. I and so, yeah, that's
40:00
maybe your best work, I think. I think so. So we have
40:06
the the parasailing, we have the turtle snorkeling and the turtle bong I'm sorry,
40:12
the snorkel bongs with tequila, which is was tough to see on the
40:16
heels of what's happening in a couple. Tough. Yeah, that was yeah,
40:22
and uh and then of course we get to dinner and uh, that
40:30
okay, that was the dinner we already talked about where we call where Vicky
40:32
talks to Jen and Jen storms off and calls Ryan. So let's go to
40:37
the morning and Vicky, I mean, it's there's a lot of antics here,
40:42
trace Amiga's antics. And Vicky sits down and she's like, why would
40:45
they make a catch with not back? And she's got her coffee and it's
40:47
very funny. She calls out Shannon for having toilet paper stuck to her and
40:52
she's like, it's a Maxi pad. And then we get back in the
40:57
vans. Heather, uh and Emily now we're going back to this whole thing
41:04
about Heather not having a sense of humor and how she unfollowed everyone because she
41:07
had FOMO, and now Emily follows Heather again. Heather feels picked on,
41:13
and once they get it to Loom to go shopping, she kind of walks
41:16
off and you can hear her sort of crying and saying, I hate them
41:19
all. Meanwhile, we've got Shaman with Shannon, Victoria, Tamrun and Jennifer
41:29
and then it's wild because after this that Shaman situation meant nothing, and then
41:37
they just rip into Heather. But Heather does start saying that she feels like
41:45
everything she's saying is getting dissected and turned back around on her. And then
41:50
enter Taylor, who's like, I don't think you get as much of a
41:52
hall pass because they think you're saying you're really better than them because the money
42:00
it was fabulous. I mean, Taylor, Taylor just kept it one hundred,
42:07
you know, like that was like what everybody is thinking, but nobody
42:12
has said so plainly before. You know, superior with her money? Yes,
42:17
yes, period, dot And do you think their story and that is
42:22
that true? Yes? That is true? And listen, I go hot
42:28
and cold with Heather. You know, the first season she was back,
42:31
I thought she was completely obnoxious with how she was showing people, the dragging
42:37
people to see the property they were going to buy, and it was very
42:40
you know, I think she's playing the part of a rich person. That
42:43
is truly what I think. But this season has just been so relentless and
42:52
unfair. I think completely to Heather. Do I think that she is an
43:00
acquired taste and it's not going to like fly with everyone. Yes, but
43:12
the punishment does not fit the crime. And they are just they just want
43:15
to take. They just aren't letting up, and they seem to be enjoying
43:21
that letting up, which I really don't like, you know, yeah,
43:25
because they're pushing it, you know, they're they're they're definitely pushing it and
43:30
and they've pushed Heather to the point. And this is the brink where now
43:35
I understand back when we heard the rumors that Heather stopped shooting with them,
43:42
but to know that next week is the finale, that's not obviously the case
43:45
because she still sticks it out and then she stu I was like, oh,
43:51
she's gone there she is, so I don't know if they wrangled her
43:58
back or she was just like saying, this is it for me, like
44:01
I'm this is the I will do my job and I'm out of here.
44:07
You know, I don't know. Yes, Now they go to dinner at
44:12
that bird's nest. Did you catch the like exterior shot of the whole thing?
44:22
I think I did. I mean, the thing is unbelievable. It's
44:27
like a it's like a treehouse, but it's literally like yeah, like bird
44:30
you're sitting in bird nests. It was unbelievable, it really was. Shannon
44:40
was so unhinged. It's I was like, okay, here come the here
44:45
come the Vicky and Shannon antics, the physical comedy that they're going to push,
44:49
like you know what, I am here for it. Let's see what
44:52
you got? See what you got? Why are you used to don't touch
44:55
me? What's have No one's touching you, No one's dead. I mean,
45:00
she's too much. She is really too much. And then the to
45:08
the rope because she's like I remember the ropes. Oh shit, because she
45:14
stepped on her finger and like the whole ropes course, it's fucking chaos.
45:20
It's chaos. And then the other ladies are sitting there in It's like you
45:23
can just like fucking go around, just go go around. And then Vicky
45:30
nailed it by saying like about doing that ill ed up at the hospital.
45:34
It's like so true, Oh my god. And then facts Shitnon starts crawling
45:42
on the ground, and then I think it was Taylor. It was like,
45:45
oh no, she's on the ground crawling and her spanks are showing.
45:51
This is what you know. There are times when I get little irritated when
45:53
they push the physical comedy because I'm like, it's just not authentic and it's
45:58
not a sitcom. And however, I was like, how ladies get it,
46:02
dish it out, you know, and I'm okay with it. I
46:06
mean, the whole thing was just ripe for disaster with those two and it
46:10
was I was really laughing. It was so so crazy, you know.
46:16
Yeah, it was great. And then this dinner just really turns on Heather.
46:23
And the bottom line is Tarma, Oh my god, Emily messes up
46:30
by by spreading the wrong rumor and that it wasn't actually Heather that said it.
46:37
It was Tarma that was talking about Gina and or Shannon. Oh my
46:44
god, it wasn't Heather. So now Heather is like being attacked by every
46:51
side, and Shannon's like, thank goodness because she thought it was Heather that
46:55
was talking, but so she believes it wasn't. And then Tarma is starting
47:00
to confront Heather by saying, no, you told me that you were with
47:05
a bunch of fucking losers at Bravocan and then for Heather to be like,
47:08
no, it wasn't them, It was Noella. It wasn't calling them the
47:15
loser. I was calling Noela loser. But I accepted it. I was
47:19
like that took it down, like Hanya ny I was like that absolutely yeah,
47:25
and so but Tamra being so convinced and calling her a liar and saying
47:31
like and Gina believing. So this is where the rubber meets the road.
47:37
Yeah, Gina is believing Tamra over Heather full stop. And this is why
47:44
I get why Heather's like, I'm not putting up with this, like you
47:47
don't even are You're not even going to try to stop and crunch the numbers
47:52
on who's right here, like you're just gonna attack me. So this was
47:55
very unfortunate because it sounded like no one could get the fucking stupid ass story
48:00
straight and it's all a miscommunication, right, No one's listening. No,
48:07
it did feel like as I did feel like Heather, and maybe she did,
48:13
I don't know, but I would say, can you just get Gina
48:20
oriented here a little bit better? You know, like she's like I just
48:22
felt like one extra sentence and we would have cleared that up. But I
48:29
think she was so done with everyone that she was like, screw all of
48:31
you people, I am not even gonna waste my breath. I honestly don't
48:36
know how she kept her composure, because like she's different than Tamra. Obviously
48:42
she's not gonna be like I didn't fucking say it about you, you know
48:45
what I mean, whereas somebody else would handle it that way. And at
48:49
that point, that's how I wanted to react. I probably would have been
48:52
like Gina, I fucking didn't say it, like, yes, do not
48:59
believe her. She just Heather doesn't have it in her to fight that way.
49:02
And Gina was overbearing with it so she couldn't see the forest through the
49:07
trees. And yeah, and I think wanted to believe it, you know,
49:10
And that's because that's the other issues that they've had and Gina has felt
49:15
like Heather hasn't her back, hasn't had her back, and then in turn,
49:20
now Heather certainly doesn't feel like Gina's had her back because Gina, you
49:23
know, at one point Heather did kind of turn on Gina. So it's
49:27
a little tit for tat. Yeah, at the in in Colorado was it
49:35
was at that ranch thing and she took camera's side, she took Tamra's side
49:38
on something instead of Gina's, and it was like, WHOA, I didn't
49:44
expect that to happen, and it so I think maybe Gina perhaps remembers this
49:49
holding onto that. Yeah, but it is so weird to think that,
49:52
like Tamera and Gina were literally and we're just at a shaman and where they
49:59
cleansed all this stuff they want pinhold and none of them coming to the burden
50:04
table. So then and then Heather, well, the fact that Vicky left
50:12
crying, I would to leave. I just can't have this. And then
50:15
she was like, it's very comfortable for me to be a bad fighting and
50:19
then you show a montage of like her screaming. The editors are like,
50:24
we got this old, let's fire it out. Call the baggage. They
50:30
don't even need to re edit anything. They already have it in the can.
50:35
But it showed growth. Uh, it showed growth. Vicky has grown
50:39
over the years and doesn't want the toxicity and she really does want to be
50:45
removed, I mean to some level. And she's crying and I like that
50:49
Heather when she stormed out, Vicky was like Cabert Caverer. I don't know
50:52
how you don't. I don't know how you do it, you know,
50:54
And I like that Vicky was there for Heather. That was very unexpected.
50:59
I feel like they don't have many moments together, those two. No,
51:02
I know it was I remember I sat and I asked myself the question,
51:07
has she grown? Is it possible? Maybe? Yeah, I think she
51:12
has. I do that's yeah, so who you know, who would a
51:15
thunk it? But maybe she needed that time off to sort of gather herself,
51:22
you know. But yeah, it was nice and it's sort of validated.
51:25
I think how bad it's been for Heather, having Vicki and Taylor sort
51:32
of co sign like you're getting beat up. Yeah, and even Shannon came
51:37
by. Shannon popped over to that bar, you know, and it was
51:42
nice to see at least her getting a little support because her basically being like,
51:46
I'm done, no, I'm done with the show. I thought,
51:50
oh my, oh my, now I yeh. Heather has a moment at
51:57
the end. I suppose it was the next day with Taylor and Jen,
52:01
and it looks like a whole new alliance was forming there. And but we
52:07
know that that's not going to last because next week Taylor does turn against Heather.
52:10
So but I did start to think, oh, this could be good,
52:15
and I think humbling for Heather in the sense that she is not connecting
52:20
with these ogs and she's an og, so it's like she feels between a
52:24
rock and a hard place. She's like not really being embraced by the trace
52:29
amigas fully and Emily and Gina are certainly they kind of have it out for
52:35
her on some level. Emily certainly does. Gina's been kind of they've been
52:38
back and forth, and then she had already had bumps in the road with
52:43
Taylor right out of the gates, you know, when they were the ranch,
52:45
and then she's just kind of left with Jen, and I don't think
52:50
Heather wants to be left with the new girl, you know what, I
52:52
mean like she's earned her stripes. She should be she should be, you
52:57
know, saddled up and have a line and say is with you know more
53:01
OG's If not one, then two. Heather is on an island, So
53:07
this is this is a strange place for her to be and I totally understand
53:09
it. When they were shopping into Loom, you saw Heather, I'm sorry,
53:13
you saw Emily and Gina sitting on the swing ready to take a picture.
53:15
Heather wasn't included in that. You know, you've got the trace amigas
53:20
now on this trip because Vicky joined, Heather's not really embraced in that.
53:23
It's a weird place for her to be in. And I don't know the
53:28
longevity of this because that would be annoying. You're kind of odd man out.
53:32
So with that said, next week is the finale and the way that
53:37
this is gonna be interesting because Heather basically says that she has proof that Tamra's
53:45
talking shit about Gina and it wasn't. It wasn't Heather. So and from
53:51
the trailer or the promo you saw that Heather's pulling up the two teas in
53:54
a pod podcast. This is so meta. I love it all and this
54:04
episode ends with the Trace Amigas at the bar and Shannon saying I never thought
54:09
we'd be back together. And it was a beautiful ending to that episode.
54:14
And my god, if it wasn't just heartbreaking to know in real life now
54:21
where the Trace Amigas will go from here. I mean, I'm sure there'll
54:24
always be strong to gather the three of them, but with their show and
54:29
with what that means, it was a very apropos ending, if you will.
54:36
It was it was like, well, maybe we should not be dancing
54:39
on top of bars girls, you know, maybe we got to put that
54:44
down. And yet that was just a delight to see. You know,
54:47
it's hard to not bask in the fun joy. Yeah, yeah, I
54:52
will say the preview for the next episode with Heather it was like watching a
55:00
superhero sort of get rest, hydrate, do a few pushups, regroup and
55:10
come for these bitches. I was like, yes, I'm so excited,
55:17
expect to have such a bang or finale based on that promo and the costumes
55:23
looked fire. What the hell is going on? I don't know what's going
55:29
on, but it's always pleasant to have, you know, conflict and crazy.
55:34
Yeah, things happening physically, it's gonna be great. Yeah. No,
55:37
it looks like Heather. I mean, she has sort of handled everything
55:46
that's been thrown her way, you know, and getting people situated. It
55:54
hasn't been easy, but I do think she's been handling herself. But she's
55:59
been on the deep and now she's like, like, let's move that go
56:08
and I Am going to really enjoy this because that's the authenticity and another side
56:14
of Heather that we really haven't seen much yet, but that we that will
56:17
take her to the next level and she needs that. She's gonna need this
56:22
boost. It's gonna be great. It's gonna be great. Yeah, I
56:23
don't know who. I don't know if her and Terry had like lit a
56:28
couple of their millions on fire and did a seance and just threw back some
56:31
champagne and had a pow wow and he was like look, you know,
56:36
and he just ripped he ripped off his leather jacket and yeah, he was
56:39
like, we're going to regulate on these hiss And I'm like, okay,
56:45
now, yes, it's gonna be great. I when I found out next
56:52
week is the finale, I was so sad. This now and it's been
56:57
amazing. I mean, it's been really an incredib of one of their best
57:00
seasons yet. Agree, agree, you know, very good. Well,
57:09
tomorrow Deanna and I are going to be recapping Southern Charm, which is also
57:15

Amy beautifully promoted the sub Stack. It's a it's a primarily a writing platform,
57:47
and there is a podcast element which we are going to be diving into
57:52
very shortly, and I'm excited about it. So get yourself over there,
57:55
get yourself signed up. We're having a blast. Howdebe less old dot com,
58:00
substack dot com and see my AI craziness, my AI journey, my
58:07
sweet little AI journey that I had last night. Oh my god, and
58:13
that's it Montage queen, Oh my god, I got in a mits for
58:20
Montage yesterday. That that's I It was It's awesome, Like I got you
58:24
know, listen, I'm not the Queen for nothing, but I this client
58:30
has told me so many times how much she hates montages and doesn't want one
58:39
we've had, and didn't want to get the pictures and videos to me and
58:45
was dragging her heels on all of that. So I was like, let's
58:49
see how this does. You know, let's turn, let's give her.
58:53
She loves it, loves it, she's so happy. I'm like, praise
58:59
you Jesus say that one. I was like, what will this be?
59:04
And now, like the fact that she was so reluctant, why did she
59:07
even get in touch with you in the first place. She must have been
59:09
montage shamed, like every one of the miss montages. You know. That's
59:15
the thing that's the problem is that you do want one. And so I
59:19
kind of get it. There's a lot of cheese out there, so I
59:22
do understand. You've had to sit through a lot of boring montages, so
59:27
I understand it. But I mean, she really, she really gave me
59:31
the what for in terms of, you know, it's been a journey.
59:36
So I was like, yeah, you praise the Lord. She loves it.
59:39
Oh, my god. So anyway, that's what I'm up to over
59:43
there the Montage Queen dot Com. Listen, we're trying to get her.
59:45
We're stepping our pussies up. We are out here on these streets. We
59:51
are solopreneurs, entrepreneurs, and we're living our vessels. Oh and I did
59:58
say to Amy, I took I did take one lesson away from Shannon's horrible
1:00:05
accident that was not the right lesson, which is that I would like to
1:00:08
turn up this ball somewhere. I want to do one turn up night out
1:00:14
on the streets of like West Hollywood at the Bravo places, and I would
1:00:19
like to do it with Amy and whoever else wants to join. So I'm
1:00:22
just throwing that out there. You know, it was not the right lesson.
1:00:24
But when I see them throwing shots, I'm like, I don't ever
1:00:29
turn up I know, And now that I live in Santa Clarita, well
1:00:35
it will not happen. No, Listen, we'll get we'll get it going.
1:00:37
Amy. We'll have to get a card ober. Oh yeah, okay,
1:00:43
I'm not driving all the way back to Clarida after a night out.
1:00:46
Can't you do it? Even if it's from Santa Clarita. Ever, if
1:00:50
we schedule it, Oh yeah, no'm no, I'm saying I just haven't.
1:00:54
I haven't done it. I used it, you wouldn't, Okay,
1:00:57
yeah, oh no no no, I will well, but it has to
1:01:00
be organized, has to be scheduled, and it has to have a start
1:01:05
an end time. And well, with all of that in there, we
1:01:08
will have hydration. We all have water maybe a little like you know,
1:01:14
coconut water for extra hydration, and some electrolytes. And then we'll turn up
1:01:20
and we'll just like walk around with ivs in our arms. Well, just
1:01:22
do it up, you know, la style. I will well, Brianna
