  Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with on our radio.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Almost Famous Podcasts. We're back today
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: with another recap of the Ultimate Girls Trip. Lauren is
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: here obviously.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: We are heading to Beverly Hills on this road trip.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: There's a lot to unpack, starting with emotions, Lauren Kyle.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Kyle is emotional because, well, during this filming, it had
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: been the thirtieth anniversary with Mauricio. He did send her
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: what I felt like was a sweet text.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: I love that text.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know how we got here is the text.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: It's so sad.
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know the ins and outs of
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: their divorce really, but that did seem like a very
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: genuine text, and that would make me bawl my eyes
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: out and be like, oh, yeah, I guess they haven't
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: They haven't divorced yet. And I wouldn't even considered a
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: divorce or just separated because like money issues. But that
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: would make me be like, do you want to get
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: back together?
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Because I was so sweet?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Uh? Do you? I mean, I know there's rumors going
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: around about Kyle and who she's with and Mauricio and
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: who he's with. This feels like, and I might get
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: in trouble for saying this, because again, I'm very unfamiliar
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: with the Real Housewives world and I'm just stepping into it.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: But this feels like a movie scene where the two
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: of them just like get together, the hook up, her
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: and her husband, her and HER's separated husband, Like do
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you think, like on the anniversaries, when he's sending those
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: kind of texts, like they're just like, Hey, you're a
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: safe place. I know you, I know your body, I
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: know like how you deal with the world. Can we
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: like in a way like like a movie would show
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: like it's healing or it's really painful. I think it
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: goes one of two directions. Do you think they get together?
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: And just like hook I would think they may if
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: he wasn't such a playboy around town now, like, because
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: you can't separate yourself from that once you see, like
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: your husband, that you're separated from hooking up with other people,
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: or at least I couldn't. I couldn't be like, yeah,
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: let's just hook up once, because then I'd be like,
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: what do I look like compared to these other people?
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: And they're all young and you know all that, And
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: she's been through such a transformation with him, so I
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: don't think they would hook up. But I think that
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: that text was very sweet that like maybe if it
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: elicited that, then then he would be excited.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: But I don't think she would.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Ever do it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: It's interesting, Well, she does find comfort. I think in
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: some of the other ladies there's actually one person that's
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: on the vein then with them that isn't divorced.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, Lisa is the only one that has been divorced,
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: so they all understand what she's going through. I think
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: that it was semi to her eyes, and Kyle is sober,
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: She's got she has some issues, and like, obviously that's fine.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: But when they're like, let's pop up bot, you need
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: to drink some non alcoholic champagne, I was like, damn,
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: don't you just wish you could drink for this one day?
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: It was so depressing.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: I was like if I was on a sprinter with
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: my friends and I had to have a non alcoholic
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: champagne on my thirtieth anniversary depression. But anyways, yeah, so
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: they all are trying to make her feel better, they
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: all understand the pain. And then she's talking to Vicky
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: about her divorce, and Vicky is still traumatized by her.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Divorce fourteen years later, which I think probably sets Kyle
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: back a bit and goes, I don't want to be
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I know this sad for fourteen for fourteen.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Years, I mean you really you could be. I know
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: that Vicky holds on at things for a very long time,
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: and she's like hyper emotional, like a rollercoaster. So I
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: think Kyle is more even keeled in that. But I mean, yeah,
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking I've never been divorced, but I'm pretty sure
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: being sad about it for the rest of your life
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: is a thing.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, I would imagine that. It also doesn't help
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: that it doesn't feel like they hate each other, right,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: It still feels like they're for the most part, they're
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: separated for a reason. I'm sure that wasn't like all
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: rainbows and butterflies, But it does feel like there's pain
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: still there, like a lingering amount of hey, I wish
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: we could have done this, or I miss you in
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: some way, or and so yeah, I do. I think
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: with all those things lining up, this will be painful
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: for a long time because you can't just rip the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: bandit off and say I'm moving on.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but it just flashed forward since we're talking about Mauricio.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: I just want to go to the ugly leather pants
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: party at Sutton's house real quick. Where Gizelle brings up, well,
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: where Kyle brings up when Giselle said that she thinks
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Marisio is the hottest like house husband and she would
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: like to lay horizontal with him, Like what a crazy
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: thing to say about any fellow housewife. And it's just
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: super awkward. And that kind of just goes to show like, Yes,
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: he's very handsome, which makes him a very easy playboy target.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he I mean he is out there. I
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: mean I know who he is because of his relational
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: like dynamics around town.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: I mean he's a rich, good looking guy who golfs right.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, good golfer too. He looks good doing that. Yeah.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: The they do jump in a van, a sprinter van
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: to head to a pajama party. Uh. One thing I
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: was reminded of. I don't even know if I knew it,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: but it wasn't. It didn't seem shocking to me. Kyle's
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: sister is Kathy Hilton, so she has access to the
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Hilton property. So they they arrive at the Beverly Hilton.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Kyle is hosting this pajama party for the ladies. Anytime
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: now these ladies get together, I get nervous, yeah, because
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I think I'm almost PTSD in a way of anytime
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: they sit down to have a good time, it's never
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: a good time.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: I know. That's why I love Luyne so much, because
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: lu Aenne just simply wants to have a good time.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: So they're all sitting around in their pajamas and leu
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: Aanne facetimes her boyfriend Michael, and I kind of love
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: what she says about her relationship because she's like, I'm busy,
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: he's busy. So basically the way we work it out
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: as we see each other when we can, And I
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: think that's great for like their age. And then Vicky
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: is like the highlight of this entire episode for me
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: is when Luyne ate a piece of chicken and then
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: just put it down on the plate in front of her,
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: and Vicky like vomited, like was dry heaving because there
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: was a half eaten piece of chicken. It wasn't she
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: chewed it up and then spit it out. It was
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: just like she took a bite.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Out of it right, that was so weird.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: How does she have dinner with others?
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: How does she do their others? How do you share
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: an appetizer a bread basket? What does that look like?
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: This is so bizarre.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: And then Vicky's like Luanne is supposed to be like
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: the prim and proper countess, but you know she eats
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: half a chicken. I don't very bizarre. But lu Ayne
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: wants Vicky to loosen up because she seems very straight
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: laced and she doesn't have any fun or laugh anymore.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: All she thinks about his life insurance. But the thing
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: I thought was hilarious was when Luayanne called out, you
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: wouldn't think this is funny, Ben, but I think the
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: shade of her be like your pajamas are polyester, darling,
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: they'll dry just fine.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Like that is so embarrassing.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would hate for any of these women that
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: come into my home and see my closet.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, I know, I know, yeah, not the Countess.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: In fact, I wore a shirt the other day and
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: then Jess and I were looking through old pictures. That
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: shirt is from the eighth.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Grade, stop it right now.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: And I took pride in it like, I didn't see
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: it as a bad thing. I see it as a
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: is a good thing and great quality. Back in the
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: eighth grade days, Yes, I could agree. It's still working.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: It was a golf shirt and I had a picture
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: of me popping my collar with it back when that
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: was cool.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: So good. You had Lacost shirts.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like the Lacost shirt with the pop collar and
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the seashell necklace. So good, and that was me.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: I need to know how many golf shirts you have
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: in your closet, like.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: So many, so many, so many. I am totally prepared,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Lauren to become a forty year old dad who whereas
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: golf shirts tucked into his khakis to everything.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that just seems to be it. And
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: you have to get a new golf shirt at every
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: course you play, yeah, yeah, yeah, And you're not gonna
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: get rid of it because like, oh I had a
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: good time that day.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, I'll have just logoed out golf shirts everywhere
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: with the quarter zip for the rest of my life.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: It's okay, Yeah, that's all right.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: It's good.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: It's good.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: It's working for me. I have another kid on the waist.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I know something Good's happening in my household.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's still into it. You were hinting at the
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: fact that they wanted people loosen up because overall, and
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I mentioned it, I'm so nervous that these things are
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: going to go sideways. This felt like a really fun gathering.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: In fact, Lisa says she's having the best time. She
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: quotes saying that her SLC friends like don't make her
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: laugh like this, Yeah, they aren't the way these women are.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Do you think this was the hope with This Girl's
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Ultimate Girls Trip, was that they would bring these stars
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: together and they would get along. Or do you think
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: drama was the motivation?
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: I would think probably majority of fun because they're reliving
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: like memories that were once dramatic, but now they're just
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: so ridiculous and they're so funny, like we see with
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: the release the rat or whatever the hell that game was.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: But Lisa is having so much fun with Porsche, and
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: she looks at pors She's like, have you always been
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: this way? Like a fun person. It's like she's never
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: met a fun person in her life before. I felt
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: really good for her. I'm glad that she's having a
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: good time because, like what they're just tworking and drinking, Like,
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: come on, have a good time, have a blast, have
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: a blast. Ashley would have hated that twerking moment.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Twirking and drinking. Yeah, is that what girls actually always feels?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Is that what girls do when they get together? They
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: just drink and twerk.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: Not my friends, but maybe like maybe a lot of
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: girls though.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you could see it, you could see that that
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: would be a fun pastime to get like to get together.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: By the way, Ashley, twirking is hilarious image of my
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: head right now.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: I'd rather die and see it.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: I want to see it. I think it'd be amazing.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: Well, if we do get to see Ashley later on
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: in this season.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Who knows.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I hope we do.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: I know that would be amazing. Maybe Portia could teach
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: her how to twork. That she would need a lesson
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: from the best.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: The best, maybe the best to get Ashley to a
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: place of watchability. Oh that's all we're looking for. Just
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: we just wanted to be something. We're like, hey, good job, Ashley.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: You did it.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: We all think of her as a cringey older sister.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah you did. Mention the pants, the ugly leather pants,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: luncheon at Sutton's house, Lauren kind of break this down.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: What were your takes from this? And then I think
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: the question within this obviously you brought up the comment,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: which I think is a big moment here. Yeah, but
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: as we kind of close out this whole second episode,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: was this an enjoyable watch for you?
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Are you? Are you into it? Yeah?
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: I was smiling through a lot of it. I was
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: catching myself smiling because everyone's reliving these very hilarious moments.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: And I think that the luncheon was cute making fun
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: of leather pants, and Crystal was there and she can
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: poke fun of herself now and be like those pants.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Were ugly, you're right.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: And even the fights are kind of resolved very quickly,
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: like we saw Vicky and Giselle fight, or Vicky and
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: Teresa fighting on the sprinter and she's like sorry, she
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: goes okay, I forgive you. And then here even Kylo
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: was like, Gisella, can't believe you said that about my husband,
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: and then.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: She was like yeah, I know. That was like bad.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: Sorry, let's go play Release the Mouse or whatever that is.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: So I thought it was enjoyable because we weren't like
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: perseverating over a certain topic for very long.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: And I'm guessing for the audience, like for the big
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: fans of this, they're enjoying seeing these contestants operat in
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: a way that is not just battling each other, that
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: they're going to see a different side of their personalities,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: a different side of who they are and how they
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: interact and what their pains are. That's one thing here.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Is so much of this episode, if we break it down,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: is about Kyle and you know, the separation that she's in.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: This isn't drama filled. Even her and Mauricio's conversation isn't
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: drama filled. It's a real life pain and I don't
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: think we see that very often from my knowledge in
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: the Housewives franchise is we don't see pains. We see
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: confrontation and drama. I am enjoying watching these these women
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: be human. Yeah, I was gonna characters like.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: You don't really know a lot of the lore, But
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: are you enjoying this because it's not so crazy conflict? Y?
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you should see my search history. It's wild. There's
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of what does this mean? Who is this person? See?
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: To have chawjgy between to be like, Okay, tell me
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: a little bit about Crystal and these ugly pants.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing. In the preview for
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the next episode, we see kind of a flash to
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Kyle's iconic white party. This you would know. I mean,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: there's like some white parties out there that I see
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: on social media sometimes that are like known and big
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: time celebrities go to them. Is Kyle's known to be
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: one of those.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna have to say, I don't.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Know, Heather, can we tap you in for this?
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: So Kyle's party is more notorious for being featured on
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: the show. So like for a lot of seasons, her
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: and Mauricio would host this white party. Was it celebrity filled? No,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: it was mostly like a family party with how wives
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: and people connected to them. But it's not like a
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: known celebrity party like say Ditties was back in the day.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: Or like the Kathy Hill and Christmas party, which I'm
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: sure she's probably trying to make it correct.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: The Kathy Hilts and her sister's Christmas party is massive
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: and that is definitely more celebrity driven.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that makes more sense. But we do get
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: to see a flash to this white party, so we
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: will learn more during the next episode.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: I don't know if Luanne and Erica already have beef,
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: but we see some good drama between two very like
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: dominant characters from two different franchises.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: It's literally East Coast versus West Coast.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I typically in an argument would say East Coast wins, right.
