5:15
Things are really ramping up in the bravosphere. So, and speaking of Emily,
5:23
I got some dish to serve up. So why don't we get serving
5:26
dish right into our dish? Baby? First off, I know Emily been
5:30
wondering what's going on with Kim Zolciak. What time is it? It's ten
5:35
twenty Okay, so maybe five minutes ago they were not getting back together,
5:41
but then five minutes before that they were getting back together. Haters back in
5:46
the house, haters wearing my ring, haters. So, no, this
5:51
is gonna take you by surprise, or it probably won't. You know this
5:56
news already. She's with Mauricia, She's on Dan Seeing with the Stars of
6:00
Mauricio is going to be her dance instructor. Hey yours, I know how
6:04
to dance? Haters? What a twist that would be. So No,
6:13
MTV has announced their celebrity lineup for their upcoming season of the Surreal Life and
6:18
guess who's on it haters. You're Kim zociek Beerman haters, along with Macy
6:25
Gray, Chad Hanks, Alie Brooke, Ot Janey, sis Me, Johnny
6:30
Weir, hose Conseko. This is back, This is back. I didn't
6:35
watch it before, but I'm so glad that she's got some some cash flow
6:40
coming in. I really am. Yeah. And isn't that I'm not watched
6:45
that show. And is that one of those shows where the longer you stay
6:47
on, the more money you get. I don't know, I've never seen
6:53
it before, right, Okay, we're saying the same thing. We're saying
6:58
the same thing. This is on dead Line, by the way. You
7:00
know, I love it when it's just funny to me. I know that
7:03
you'll appreciate this to Emily as a writer comedian. You know, the Deadline
7:10
articles that we used to see coming up were like, you know, scripted
7:14
film everything. So when it always strikes me as bizarre when I see reality
7:18
show deadline articles, because I'm like, oh my, you guys are actually
7:23
taking this seriously. But as we've said, reality TV has you know,
7:28
practically eclipsed or you know, are now on equal footing with scripted television,
7:35
and here we are. Yeah weird. I love Johnny Weir too. I
7:41
love Johnny Weir. I know. Wait, there was somebody else you mentioned,
7:45
who is Chat Hanks. Okay, there we go. I was gonna
7:47
say, darlings, if you haven't studied your chat Hanks, that's a fun
7:54
deep dive on the internet. Reminder, Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks. Yes,
8:01
and they all have broke Allie. The only was they have one kid
8:05
together. It's my understanding. Oh and that's Chet. The other kids are
8:09
from like Colin Hanks is from the marriage prior to Rita. Oh right,
8:16
I didn't know. And then Tom Hanks has that's my under like I think,
8:20
and a daughter prior to like that's from his previous marriage. But then
8:24
we get ched Hanks, and then we get cheded Hanks. Now I have
8:30
other news. I have other news to report in our dish, and that
8:31
is that Kyle Richard's daughter Farah has officially split from her fiance Alex Manos.
8:39
So this was something that we, like a lot of the people online,
8:43
I want to they faced reality sixteen. They were like, she's not wearing
8:48
her engagement ring, and I was like, eh, you know, I
8:52
never judge a hand by its ring, but in this case, it actually
8:58
is true. I saw this on Real Mom's Bravo and it's reported many places.
9:03
So yeah, again I go back to that they might not really be
9:09
the ring, but I think that's the thing that they they actually know something
9:13
we don't know. So then they hang everything on that detail and they find
9:20
one picture without the ring, and then they're like, now we can report
9:22
our super inside gossip because and we can say we just noticed this hand in
9:26
three pictures. You're so wise. You are wrong or wrong? I don't
9:31
know. There's a fine line theory. In other dish, Captain Lee,
9:41
which I did not realize, Okay had a podcast that's called Salty. Know
9:48
that, so not only does he have this show with Kate Chastain, but
9:52
he has a podcast called Salty. Is it spelled like like salty tea or
10:01
is it like with Okay salty with Captain Lee? In my ass, but
10:07
Bravo Bygas, who I always give shout outs to here posted a clip from
10:13
his podcast talking about you know, the Lindsay and Carl breakup, Because,
10:20
as we know, Carl and Captain Lee have a very special relationship and they
10:26
have bonded over addiction because Captain Lee lost his son to addiction in overdose,
10:31
and so did Carl's brother, and they have bonded in a beautiful way and
10:37
we always love hearing about their you know, just their connection things like that.
10:43
So Captain Lee did speak about the cancelation of their wedding, and he
10:48
actually kind of cleared up about what was going on with like the room situation,
10:54
because it was a destination wedding and so basically Captain Lee was saying,
10:58
like, first of all, the guests got an outstanding rate, so he
11:05
was like, even if they don't get their fucking ass money back, who
11:13
cares, you know. I mean, basically he was saying, like,
11:16
first of all, they got an outstanding rate, so if they don't get
11:18
their full reimbursement, they're gonna be fine. But he also said that they
11:24
will get their reimbursement because he got an email from them from Lindsay and Carl
11:28
saying like you can be reimbursed by the thirteenth and that's that. So he
11:35
also said, because of the delicate nature of the situation, he's not going
11:39
to speak on it hashtag Candy hashtag speak on it. Candy's got speak on
11:45
it at nine. So but I love that he he spoke on it.
11:50
I love that he spoke on it. And I have the Bravo by Gays
11:54
to thank for that. Yes, I do too. That's hilarious, especially
11:56
when he's like doing business. It's like it's like the business side of the
12:01
cancelation. I like that he's going into the minutia of the hotel rate.
12:05
Oh the rates, right, I know. I love that. I love
12:07
that. So the other night, Kristin Cavalari was on Watch What Happens Live,
12:13
and she did admit to like she had not she's never hooked up with
12:16
Austin. She spoke about how you know a while ago when they had that
12:22
viral video of them dancing, Craig and Austin, and she well, she
12:26
did have a makeout with Craig. So she did cop to that, which
12:28
we all kind of knew, but she did kind of cop to it finally
12:31
because she was asked a viewer question. So, and she's still friends with
12:35
those guys and she loves them all loves them both. Also on Watch What
12:41
Happens Live, Andy announced that Vicki Gunnbolson is going to get the Wifetime Achievement
12:46
Award at Robocat. I saw that episode. I must have missed that.
12:50
That's awesome. Maybe it was on the after show. Oh maybe, I
12:54
mean, I mean that should be prime time, baby, I'm paying attention.
13:01
So maybe that's why, Well, you know, we like to basically,
13:05
you know, multitask, that's what we do. We like to multitask
13:09
as as we do. I know, God knows I do. I was
13:11
gonna harken back to the time. I'm sure you and I were both multitasking
13:16
when we did not know it was Aaron's sister on the phone that called Brenna
13:20
bitch, Oh my god, and we thought it was Abe the Babe,
13:24
so went on Abe like really like we probably Rosanna and Dana to that.
13:31
I mean, and you would have thought there were so many Abe the Babe
13:35
stands because they can't. They both slid into our da I mean, they
13:37
all slid into our dms taking up for Abe. No no, no,
13:41
Abe is fine. Like if it was some anybody else, they really wouldn't
13:45
have cared. I think people would have been like, who cares. I'm
13:46
not going to correct them on this, but people were like, no,
13:50
don't give abe a bad name. Yeah no, that was That was definitely.
13:54
I've definitely had a couple of times where I'm like, oh, I
14:00
actually feel the opposite or like, right, I didn't watch that fully and
14:05
I had a very strong take that I don't agree with anymore. So be
14:13
ready for that, darlings. Yes, darlings, my about face because I
14:18
wasn't paying attention. Yeah no kidding, Listen, I am guilty of it
14:24
too, and I'm not gonna make any apologies for it, and neither real
14:28
Tamera this episode. Let's talk about the Tamera episode. Let's get into Orange
14:31
County, Babadah to Orange County. There in Mexico, Plia del Carmen,
14:39
and we're still We're at dinner and Shannon is basically in her This is also
14:46
confusing to me because I still, honestly I didn't have like the brain power
14:50
to think about it again about like who is ago of talking about who?
14:56
At Bravo Khan, you know, because there was so much confusion last week.
15:00
Well, this is the first time that they've opened an episode ever where
15:03
with their mid fight, and they don't give us about forty five seconds of
15:07
where we were the last episode, I know, and they just just it
15:11
annoys me when I'm binging it right when I just watch it fresh, I'm
15:16
like, now, who are these people at this time? Who's the blonde
15:22
haired one that likes to to likes tequila? And who's the dark haired one
15:28
called that? Somebody says enough lepus. Yeah, But Shannon and her confessionals
15:31
like, I didn't really see Heather at Bravo Khana. I think their goal
15:35
is to meddle in my relationships, and Heather is just she goes to the
15:39
bathroom and she's past, past, passed, and TAM's like he's in past.
15:41
She's like, I'm passed. And Heather's there's as pissed as she can
15:46
be with fifty five million dollars because she gets over it real fast. I
15:50
think, roll fast, roll fast, she gets over it real fast.
15:54
A yeah, because I have to say that when it almost felt like we
16:07
missed a whole scene there where she didn't collect herself and all that, she
16:11
just came right back in. Now. See now you can I can hear
16:15
my Maryland accent coming through every time. Now, I don't want you to
16:19
ever curb it. Let it rip. I will say it's an eastern short.
16:26
It's a very northern eastern uh Maryland accent. I'll put it because because
16:33
you get down south, it doesn't really it doesn't really fly. But anyway,
16:36
back too Anyway, anyway, Heather and tam Or talk and Heather's like,
16:41
they don't like me, and I don't care and I'm holding a different
16:44
standard and I can't say anything or do anything right. Let's go back to
16:47
the table. I have gifts. So she does give out gifts and it's
16:53
this great basket full of goodies and it's very awkward and it's very funny.
16:59
And Emily's like, I don't want the gift. I just want it to
17:03
be easier to be friends with her. And Gina's like, this is the
17:06
most uncomfortable gift I've ever seen. And then Shannon's like, can I have
17:11
a skinny emparcarated to go. But before that, when Heather and Tamor away
17:18
from the table, Shannon did have this moment where she was like basically setting
17:22
the record straight about John and she was like, it's normal relationship stuff.
17:29
So she says like that's basically it. In the beginning, they spent every
17:33
day together. And now it's like he says, I gotta go, and
17:37
she says, he's an avoid I'm a communicator and he just basically walks He
17:41
always walks out instead of talking about it. And that's essentially what she's saying,
17:45
are the biggest issues in their relationship, right, And then it kind
17:49
of pivots into Tamra being like, well, I have receipts from Ryan.
17:56
It's like who will will what? Oh? From Ryan? Oh? That
18:02
does she say that about that dinner? At that dinner? Yeah, it's
18:06
it's right before Tamra walks out to Heather. I guess she says something about
18:11
has she She basically says that she knows that Ryan cheated on her, she
18:18
has the text from the girl or something like that. Oh I didn't I
18:22
did not hear that, or maybe it was in the peacock version, so
18:26
I didn't know she tipped her hat to it. So there was some foreshadow
18:29
we at the beginning of the episode, and then we obviously revisit that later,
18:33
which yeah, cannot wait to get to. But alas, we go
18:38
to breakfast in the morning and Emily apologizes to Heather for being an asshole,
18:42
but and then Heather's like, there's a pattern here, and then we do
18:47
see this montage of Emily like coming after her in like every episode and then
18:55
apologizing. Yeah, and you know, like the apology she gave Heather is
19:00
that morning was the classic Housewives I'm sorry if you felt that way apology.
19:07
And of all the Housewives, the one that always takes accountability, I feel
19:14
is Heather. And so it drives me nuts that, Like I get that
19:17
Emily gets in a corner and apologizes, but I'm like, as a viewer,
19:22
all we are seeing, and it might be edited this way, is
19:26
Heather apologizing the season. So I don't know what else they want from her.
19:30
Well, I think that the back and forth between Heather and Emily,
19:37
I think needs to be there between them. I don't like that it's like
19:42
the whole group coming after Heather. But I feel like in a way,
19:48
Emily kind of calling out Heather for certain things makes it a little more real
19:55
and she helps Heather to level out because the way that Emily is it with
20:00
her, which kind of comes with a little bit of a comedic angle and
20:04
kind of a throwaway delivery where it's like I'm just saying this, we can
20:08
get past it. But like, you know, you always do this or
20:11
you always do that. But Heather is, like you said, always coming
20:15
forward and being like Okay, I see that and I apologize, or I
20:19
see that and I agree, let's move forward. But that montage was very
20:25
damning and it just looked like Emily was just stern it up, stern it
20:27
up. And then of course in the confessional she said all I can do
20:32
is say I'm sorry, and I'll probably do it again. And I'm like,
20:34
oh my god. This is at least she's honest about being a housewife,
20:41
because that's what they do. But I am concerned, right, I
20:45
do think that Gina is, like legit, the only actual friend that had
20:52
like has Heather's back in that group, and even Gena's kind of one foot
20:55
out the door. But like, yeah, I just think I mean,
20:59
we've talked about this for I think Heather reads is cold. She's distant,
21:03
and at the end of the day, I don't know if she's as they
21:07
say, there to make friends. But she's doing the best she can,
21:11
right, I mean, she makes for like, if she wasn't, like
21:15
we said this last week, if she wasn't on the show, you know
21:18
what would be happening, and we do have that Jen and Tamra stuff,
21:21
and we do have the John and Shannon stuff. So it is amazing how
21:26
there's a lot of stuff going on in OC right now. I mean it's
21:30
it's a great season. I mean they are definitely delivering it. They go
21:34
on vespas and this was very funny. Obviously Heather hated it. Shannon was
21:41
like, I didn't touch the red button, loving it, and this was
21:45
fun that they did a lot of activities. Well, Gina's call out of
21:48
Shannon being Jennifer Coolidge from White Lotus was like, so on the money,
21:55
well the side by side, because I wouldn't have gotten it because I don't
21:57
I haven't watched White Lotus, but it looked on point. Oh it was
22:03
so great. And also just that character being like now I'm just thinking of
22:10
that character and Shannon as the same. But and Bravo had to get that
22:17
picture from they had to get paid for that picture. Get right to that
22:21
picture of Jennifer Coolidge from White Lotus. Good but it was worth it,
22:23
Yeah, it was worth it. It was they just let them use it
22:29
as a yeah, as an honorary because they they it's it's an honor to
22:33
be compared both ways. For Jennifer to be compared to Shannon, and Shannon
22:37
to be compared to Jennifer. I mean, let's we'll hear it. I
22:40
love Shannon's spirit of adventure in these moments. I just think that she is
22:45
so fun to watch. She really is one of the best. I mean,
22:49
I just I absolutely love it. The zip line into that water,
22:53
Emily, that was amazing to watch her just being like whoa. And then
23:00
I think Tarmor was right that she got the wind knocked out of her and
23:03
then she was like, your nose is bleeding, like the I think Emily
23:07
went through something and didn't like couldn't. She was definitely like kind of shaken
23:14
when she got out, like she was just like something happened. She went
23:18
into another dimension and then came out and was like, I just I was
23:22
abducted by aliens, talked to by aliens, and then her nose bleed.
23:30
Yeah, something something fishy happened and it wasn't It was out of this world,
23:36
you know, it was definitely something that wasn't of this world, if
23:40
you will. Yeah, I think it was very shocking, and then it
23:42
kind of went to like Gina's whole thing too about like being afraid in the
23:48
water and I don't have that. But like I I was like, that's
23:52
very real for Gina. Good for her that she's jumping right on in.
23:56
That's very real. I loved that bag when she was on like the jet
24:02
ski with the instructor and she was like, I'm not trying to be a
24:06
baby, and then she was crying and the instructor just shoves like a starfish
24:08
in her face to help her like a child. You know, this enormous
24:14
starf It's like, you take this sea creature and make yourself felt starfish.
24:21
The stoppage isn't gonna help me. It's queeving me out. We're gonna starfish
24:26
in her face. Oh god, that was so funny. He's like,
24:29
here, I'm just trying to do my job. This is this is an
24:33
excursion. Here take the starfish. Yeah. Her jumping in the water was
24:37
something else. And that is a high height, yeah, and I thought,
24:41
oh, she should just jump in lower and I was like, oh,
24:45
that's the lowest option, and she's but I would have I would have
24:51
totally been all about that excursion. I loved that the swim Hole one.
24:56
But I think me too, I guess like both. When you see some
25:00
yeah, when you see something built up like that, like they you know
25:04
plenty of people, you can go there and be like, this is a
25:07
well constructed unit that many people have jumped off of before, and I will
25:12
also be okay when I jump off of it. That's what I mean.
25:15
It seemed crazy, but actually as soon as Emily jumped, I was like,
25:18
well I wouldn't. I don't think I would. Actually after that reaction,
25:22
well Heather was like nope, no negativo, nope, thank you.
25:30
But also like when I look at zip lines, kind of freak me out
25:33
because you hear about the stories and now things go wrong. But a zip
25:37
line into water doesn't bother me as much because you can you know you're falling
25:42
if you're gonna fall in fallen water, and you're deliberately going to fall in
25:45
water, and you should be okay. Yes, I agree, Yeah,
25:49
I love the zip line. I loved Tim Robbins. I know it.
25:56
I was just like, I wonder who's going to bring it up first?
25:59
Go ahead, you're going, and I think you should leave. Season two.
26:03
Tim is on like a Bachelor style show. But all he wants to
26:08
do is zipline in the water in the cool pool on the set, and
26:11
he just keeps ziplining and ziplining and zip flinny. He doesn't stop. He
26:17
doesn't go on any dates. He just wants the zipline. He want to
26:19
go on any dates. And then doesn't he get kicked off the show?
26:23
Oh wait no yeah, She's like, you know you have to leave,
26:26
and he's like, please, please let me. I just want to zipline.
26:33
Now. If you haven't watched that, it's on Netflix and my bretteger
26:37
Brets episode was in it. Episode I think it's episode three, season two.
26:44
It's great and you can catch my darlin there. So now we get
26:51
this moment where Tamra where they're like getting ready and Tarma drags Jen for her
26:55
fake designer brands for now Fundy Fuci and then in Tamra's confessional she says that
27:02
Jen was a yoga mom and then now she's dripped in fake designer clothes and
27:06
she wants people to think that she has all this money and she doesn't buy
27:08
into that. So this is when I really do take a harder turn against
27:15
Jen, because this does say a lot about her character and a lot about
27:23
who she's becoming and the process of leaving, you know, one marriage and
27:29
then getting into this relationship with this guy, and how she's now how she's
27:33
presenting herself, and it is not a good look bybe it is not a
27:37
good look at all. Well, in fairness to Jen, I would like
27:41
to know when the brand clothing like that started, because if it came about
27:48
because of the show, then I kind of get where she thinks that she
27:52
has to dress in this very gaudy, aspirational way because that's what the show
27:57
is. So I was kind of curious about that. But that's not real.
28:02
That's not real. That's a lie. And I and like, you
28:04
know, at least Monica on Salt Lake City was like I have bought a
28:08
Louis Vauton back because I wanted to fit in, and at least hers is
28:12
real, like and she's honest about it. But I don't like thisting yourself.
28:18
What do you mean warn me? You should have warned me that you
28:22
were going to use an anomaly. You should have won me. I didn't
28:26
know you were gonna do it. Now I'm offended. Okay, yeah,
28:30
I agree with you, but if you dare. Look, I'm I am
28:34
not necessarily opposed to wearing a fake designer but brand, but don't do it
28:41
on television around people who know designer brands. You're not gonna get away with
28:47
it, my arm. Here's what I wonder. I don't think Jen knows.
28:52
I think that she's either Ryan Gifts or hired. They hired someone to
29:02
dress her for things, and she doesn't know. Okay, okay, these
29:07
are good points, but I don't like it. I know, you know
29:12
you're wrong. You love it, you like it. I'm so passed about
29:18
it, MLA. It paints the picture that she is not Row and that
29:23
she is like, you know, trying to be some mats, the picture
29:37
that I can't trust her. And it also makes me think like she's just
29:41
like Ryan, like they just blend together. It's perfect, you know,
29:45
she's I don't like it. I don't like it. I think we have
29:48
to remember that Jen is a nat little baby. She's a little like she's
29:56
been in a kind of lock and keys situation, Like she just mentally is
30:03
maturing in a different way. She's in a different place mentally, I think
30:07
than everybody else. It's like she just woke up and it's not nineteen ninety
30:11
eight and she's having a crash course in culture and Ryan is her professor,
30:22
and so like she's doing pretty good for that. But I mean, I
30:33
think you explained it perfectly, and for you to be giving any credit is
30:37
very gracious of you. But I think it's a disaster. I think it's
30:41
Oh, it's still a disaster. I see, the brands need to be
30:47
real if you are presenting yourself. This is what Guess who also had a
30:51
bunch of fake designer handbags? Jen Shaw? Guess where she is. I'm
30:56
just saying like it's a slippery slope, but mostly, you know, fake
31:00
designer, and you know what, most of our friends are gonna go to
31:03
jail, and so guess what it's on. Do I have a fake Do
31:08
I have a fake designer Louis Vatan bag that someone gifted me? Yes,
31:15
I do. Calling the police, but I didn't buy it myself. And
31:18
also I wear it around fucking Santa Clarita. Nobody gives a shit up here,
31:23
whether it's real or not. But I'll tell you what I am not
31:26
gonna do. What I'm not gonna do, what you're not gonna do is
31:32
You're not gonna show up on the Real Housewives of Orange County, of Salt
31:37
Lake, of Atlanta with fake brands. We don't like it. I like
31:44
it. I like it. I love this conversation so much. But now
31:52
I need to move on from it because guess what. Well, first of
31:55
all, they go to a water park, they go to a spa,
31:57
and they walk over this. This, this vacation is lit. I love
32:02
this vacation. This is the best vacation. And then we get a Vicky
32:08
surprise. Would you how much would you pay to be on a vacation in
32:13
Mexico and have an open your door and have Vicky go boooooo. That's actually
32:20
a great business for her. She should do that. I would do a
32:22
lot of money for that. No, Linda won't let me. Linda will
32:24
not let me buy office manage it. I have to stay at work.
32:28
She does let me do anything. I can't go on and do surprises in
32:31
Mexico for buddy, and let's Linda a prison. Oh but I agree.
32:40
If you want a girl, if you're in a girls trip in Mexico,
32:45
you all pitch in like five thousand dollars and Vicky shows up for the day.
32:52
Five k easy. I mean that's a little I'd probably invite more people.
32:58
Split that up a little bit. Oh yeah, ten ten people.
33:00
Well, for us, it would be we'd need a dozen out of work
33:07
actors and writers, right, I do well. I got a little teary
33:15
when she was the surprise because it was so great and it felt was so
33:19
with Tamar and Shannon. Yes, but I'll tell you who wouldn't spend five
33:23
thousand dollars for Vicky surprise? And that was everyone else, the girls.
33:29
Yes, Oh my god. When they revealed her at that dinner, Oh
33:32
my god. Oh hello, miss Scumblson. Hi. I mean you would
33:37
have thought Heather was talking about her five fifty five million dollars sale again correct
33:43
gets curric get. They basically were like, oh, hang on just a
33:46
second, Picky, let me finish up this conversation. Yeah. Like it
33:52
was just like they couldn't. I mean, oh, it was just like
33:55
this moment is that Joe. Nobody cares. It's Joe fucking gun Bulson.
34:04
Okay, real, ladies at the dinner table, please stand up. Dare
34:09
you proper greeting? I mean, were you born in a barn? Were
34:17
you born in the Barn in Newport, in Fairness to Emily and Gina.
34:24
Here we go in fairness. Hi, welcome to in fairness. Uh,
34:32
brought to Vicky has said some shit and she's coming for them, and she's
34:37
coming for their spot on the show, so they don't want her there.
34:43
Oh my god. That was so funny when Jen said, well, I
34:46
know you haven't really, you know, you haven't been here, and she's
34:49
like, oh, I know. I don't thank you for putting it out.
34:52
I know. Oh my god, she said I was fired. She
34:57
did say yes, I fired, we like, and I was like,
35:01
oh god, is this episode going to turn into that, Like this will
35:05
be interesting. Meanwhile, she wasn't fired. I just want to say this,
35:09
Vicky, you just weren't given a new contract being fired, Linda Telbey,
35:16
I was fired, and whatever Lynda says is right. I just want
35:21
to make sure people understand because that happens a lot when contracts aren't renewed in
35:27
our world. It's like, no, I've seen people get fired off shows.
35:30
That's a lot different. That's true, I suppose. And also it's
35:35
the old They're going in another direction, yeah yeah, yeah, away from
35:40
me, which means I'm fired. I mean, I'm sure you know.
35:45
Yeah, it feels the same. I mean I've certainly had a contract not
35:47
renewed. It sucks, but well, maybe you should have Linda negotiated for
35:52
you next time. Sorry, that's had you and order more paper clips.
35:57
She's an office manager, right, she does it probably a lot more than
36:00
just right. She's getting into some stuff. Yes, I did get I
36:07
also was really embracing that entrance and that Shannon was like, I could cry.
36:13
Oh wait, that was Vicky. Shannon was like, I could cry.
36:16
And then the trace a megas are back together. They all put on
36:20
pink, they do shots and choreography, choreography, great show, go and
36:24
see it. It's just fun. It's just stupid fun show. Yeah,
36:30
yes, I do want to see that. I'll go back with you.
36:34
So then they have dinner, they go see Circa so lat this is like
36:37
the greatest trip. Yeah. I was wondering did they watch that entire show?
36:42
This is a long show and alone else in the audience. Yeah,
36:46
it's a lot of work for that cast. Yeah. I was like,
36:50
I hope they're filming it or getting something out of it so that they could,
36:52
you know, you know, take advantage of it. Then they do
36:58
truth or Dare and Vicky basically says to Jen, you and I love a
37:04
bad We loved it. I loved a bad. You love a bad that
37:06
may not be the right person of for us that I wish I do,
37:08
uh what I do out And then they're like, are you talking about Ryan?
37:12
She's like, it's Ryan, I know. And then Emily being like,
37:20
I think she's issuing a warning. Is there a storm coming? It's
37:25
Emily's like weather report. I think she's issuing a warning. Warnings coming.
37:31
God, it's so funny. It was great. I mean again, Vicky
37:37
came like guns blazing, so gun Bison's blazing. Oh, we forgot what
37:47
I wanted to tell you. I forgot to tell you. Back at circ
37:52
there was a never before seen Seene and Taylor got a line in the show
37:58
get Out. Yeah, yeah, one line, and that's it's dry Ice.
38:07
Are you serious? That was her life? I think she has a
38:09
little bit more later in the episode, but I was like, that's okay,
38:13
that's so Taylor. That's the first time we've heard from Taylor this entire
38:16
time. Yeah, yeah, I was. She said that about the show
38:22
It's dry Ice. No, she said when they brought out the drinks,
38:25
did you see that? Maybe that was yeah, I didn't see that part.
38:30
So they brought out one line. Yeah, yeah, exactly they brought
38:35
out and Tamor I was like, I don't want to drink this. It's
38:38
it's boiling steam. And then Taylor, of course, drum moral it's dry
38:45
ice, and then dry ice girls. Then no, no girls, just
38:52
no girls, just dry ice. Just identify the drink and and move on.
38:58
And that's it. I mean three words. I was like at the
39:01
end of my notes and I'm like, wait, did Taylor ever say anything
39:08
she there's a little bit in the she said something. Oh yeah she did.
39:15
She's the one that talk up gals about Shannon's body issues. Oh right,
39:22
and she was so like sensitive and just so sweet, and she was
39:27
like I'm gonna cry girls. Okay, so sir, disilay and then truth
39:34
or dare and then okay, wait. Then we get to the morning and
39:37
Shannon, and this is one where we get to this part where Taylor has
39:42
her line about saying that Shannon doesn't feel good about her body. She had
39:45
a hard night because she doesn't want to get into a bathing suit. Those
39:50
those muscle body dad bod muscle body bathing suits which were very funny, and
39:53
I would like, I think that's such This trip from beginning to end,
39:58
I thought was just such a lighthearted fun girls trem and I would wear that
40:00
suit for fun? Would you no? But go on all right? Well?
40:07
In fairness with Emily Jesis. In fairness, they all look great,
40:13
and I'm happy for them. I would not Why wouldn't you wear it?
40:19
I mean I would wear a cover up, but that I would get in
40:22
the water and do some water aerobics wabs. How fun is that? This
40:27
trip is my favorite? It's so easy breezycause they're tables. Oh god,
40:37
yes, I well, yes, I agree. More close ups of the
40:39
food? Now, which is worse? Dolphin trainer or snuffle up a gus?
40:45
Oh, snuffle up a gus? Absolutely? And I am so glad
40:51
that Emily took the time to explain to Heather when I called you a dolphin
40:57
trainer, it was a joke. Ha ha ha. And do you see
41:00
how you when you called me snuffle up against I snuffle upagus? I laughed,
41:06
ha ha ha. It's the same that Ah and Heather was like,
41:10
fair point, Yeah, but also I don't know if Heather did get it,
41:15
but like, I can't imagine calling even my word as much as I
41:19
love snuffle up a gust right by the way he does talk. Somebody said
41:23
he doesn't even talking. They did say that, but he's like, he's
41:29
like the sweetest I know, because he's he's Big Bird's imaginary friend. Let's
41:35
make it clear who he is. And he's on Sesame Street or right or
41:38
used to be. But he's a large elephant looking creature. And when Heather
41:45
made the point that her hair because she was talking about her hair, Emily
41:47
was talking about her hair and she was like, I need to fix this,
41:52
and Heather said, you look like snuffle up agus. Well you really
41:54
can't isolate you know, the whole look of snuffle upagus and hair. You
42:00
know what I'm saying, Because yeah, so I could see the package of
42:02
it not being a very nice comment, but I don't think Heather meant it
42:07
in a negative way, but it was right, Yeah, you can't,
42:12
yeah, yeah, yeah, Heather. Heather couldn't steer that in any houseboat
42:20
the calm, calm waters when they were on that houseboat in Mexico, and
42:23
Heather said you know what, Emily, I'm glad you brought that up,
42:28
because the only thing that this trip was missing was a first houseboat boat.
42:31
Yeah, I agree, get on a houseboat if you want us to continue
42:36
to watching, I need one in every episode, or the idea of one,
42:39
or the idea of one. Now Here, we are at the grand
42:44
finale lunch where Gen versus camera. Tarmra just lets it all out and Jen
42:51
says that she bring okay, so she they're bringing up this other woman,
42:54
the woman that allegedly had like was with Ryan during their break, but Tarama
43:04
is saying, it wasn't during your break. He's slipping with her while you're
43:07
together. He sent me their text messages. Well you're at a concert in
43:09
Santiago, naked in your bed, and Jen finishes the sentence saying I know
43:15
about it. I've seen it. And Gina's like, man, why are
43:20
you with him? And Jen's like, well, what do you want for
43:24
me, Tamra, and Tarama's like, I don't want you to get hurt,
43:29
and Jen says, so you're busying yourself with my pain and she's like,
43:31
you don't show any immotion ever, and then she accuses her of ruining
43:37
her entire family, and you left for a player. You're not the only
43:42
person he fucked, am I jum? Jen says, how dare you?
43:45
And then Emily's like, my mother in law even knows he's a player.
43:51
And then Gina's like, well she knows he's up playing, but she still
43:55
wants to be with him. Wow. Wow, And Vicky's right like sometimes
44:04
you have to figure that out on your own. So I think that's what
44:07
she's doing because like everyone that watched, I don't think there's one person watching
44:13
Housewives that's like, Rian's pretty cool. I'm rooting for them, like everybody
44:19
from what we have been presented with is like, oh girl, okay,
44:24
you're just gonna do this. But with Tamra saying you're quiet, you're quiet,
44:29
you have no emotion and you don't speak to it. So this is
44:31
where I have to say, I'm like Jen, she is really quiet.
44:38
She's not being upfront about it. She's kind of playing like she doesn't know
44:43
what happened, or she's skating over everything, over everything, saying that they
44:49
are on a break, when now she's admitting they weren't really on a break
44:52
in a sense. So Jen's covering up for Ryan because she doesn't want to
44:57
look bad again. I think Jen convinced them herself because of whatever Ryan twisted
45:04
that they were on a break, And I don't think Jen realized they were
45:07
on a break at the time, but now she'll be like, yeah,
45:10
well we were. He did say he was that they go to the store,
45:15
so I guess we were on a break. But I think Tama is
45:17
kind of like coaching in a way. I think she's kind of like,
45:22
if you want to stay on the show, right right, you better can't.
45:27
You can't just be a gray rock here. You have to like admit
45:30
or be be like open and tell us what's happening. Well, I agree
45:37
with Tamra. I mean yeah, because Tama is saying, like I mean
45:40
when she said, like in one of her confessionals, that this gal Alex
45:46
Alex, and now Jen's saying that Tamra is accusing Tamra of reaching out to
45:52
Alex first, and Tara's like, no, she reached out to me because
45:55
she had a vendetta against Ryan at this point, because they got into a
46:00
fight after Nobu, and she sent Tamara all of the text messages from when
46:06
they were just talking and I was like, I was like, oh damn,
46:10
so there's a lot of camera thing. It was a year, that's
46:15
what she said. This was going on while you were together, not when
46:17
you were on your break this right year. Okay, I didn't know it
46:21
was a full year. That is so bad. So here's the thing.
46:24
Jen's covering all that up. It's out there. Tamra has the receipts and
46:29
basically Tarma's like, if you don't say it, I will, And this
46:31
is how we play. I think Jen maybe knows about some of it.
46:36
I bet she doesn't know about all of it. I bet we have it.
46:39
Like if Jen actually knew, like what the backdrops of I guarantee you
46:46
Ryan has, like backdrops of their house or is always talking against a white
46:52
wall when they face time, like I you know what I mean? Like
46:54
Ryan, he's using a green screen and a picture of his house, and
47:00
mind that green screen is an orgy for Miles, Like I just don't think
47:05
Jen gets what she's in. And I think that there's regrets and I think
47:10
she's just like, minute by minute, I'm going to get through this day
47:15
and it's we had so much fun. I think that's what she's doing I
47:19
think you're right, and she's it's it's like watching a slow motion car crash.
47:25
Yeah, because we all we all have had someone close to us or
47:34
to us or been that person that has seen it happening, and we all
47:38
act and and it was great to have Vicky there because she was like the
47:44
last one of the you know, big last times that we saw something like
47:46
this where it's like, are you kidding me right now? You're believing this?
47:51
Yeah? Yeah, I like the tamera was like I did this with
47:53
Vicky too, you know. I mean, so I appreciate it. What
47:58
a great fun It's an amazing episode. And by the way, it's it
48:02
is impossible to be that close friend in that situation when you're like, he's
48:09
awful that and no one wants to hear it. Even if it's like you're
48:15
you're trying to explain it to your best friend, They're like, yeah,
48:17
you don't know, I know you don't, right. Yeah. Vicky was
48:22
trying to get to find out for yourself, and it was nice that Shannon,
48:25
you know, was kind of had her back and she's like, this
48:29
is very hurtful, and I mean it was a good balance of somebody really
48:31
trying to expose the truth for what it is and call out a housewife for
48:35
doing things that they should be more honest about. Quite frankly, considering that
48:38
this is a lot of the drama, but also a nice balance of people
48:42
having her back. So that being said, what a fun episode, MS
48:47
And that wraps up our Orange County recap. But now we're gonna I'm gonna
48:53

the spot. I think I like it. After the Drama joining me,
49:28
I have a very special guest on this After the Drama episode. It's Lisa
49:32
Henderson from the Bravo con Facebook group. What's up, Lisa? Thank you
49:39
for welcoming me. What's up is I'm in I'm Anapausa Melton right now.
49:45
Oh my gosh, tell me about it. What's up? I've had a
49:49
horrible last month of moving, and so I'm in a hotel right now,
49:52
and so I don't look my best, but I think you look adorable.
49:57
And I love the lavender. I love the purple. That's my color.
50:00
That's my color. Loves purple. It it's very royal. I'm so excited
50:07
you're here, and I'm so happy that we connected. Thank you for reaching
50:12
out to me. So we're going to talk a little bit about Bravo Con
50:15
and Lisa's incredible freaking Facebook page that has taken the Bravo fan world by storm.
50:25
There's really nothing like it. You know, We've seen tons of Instagram
50:30
accounts and we love them that we you know, I love all my Instagram
50:34
Bravo fan accounts, and I'm really not a part of any Facebook groups because
50:38
I'm just never on Facebook. But I do love a Facebook group like I
50:43
am part of a lot of like I'll scroll in a lot of informational Facebook
50:46
groups and they're just incredible. And I've been lucky enough to connect with Lisa
50:52
because you found out about my cabaret that I'm going to be doing during the
50:55
Bravo Con weekend, and you were so kind to reach out and say hey,
51:00
I heard through the grapevine, meaning your Facebook page, that you're looking
51:05
for a theater in Vegas. And you're like, maybe I can help,
51:08
maybe we can collab, like let's talk. So cut to you know,
51:13
a couple months later, I was like, Lisa, I got my theater,
51:17
I got my show, the tickets are up, let's talk. So
51:22
anyway, and then I got to join your group and Mary Payne, who's
51:27
from Pink Shade podcast, actually inviting me to join your group because she's been
51:31
on it and and so like I've just been like kind of scrolling through and
51:36
like, this is such an incredible group. You have nineteen thousand members very
51:43
close to twenty k. It was just round it up, dudeity kay,
51:47
So this is amazing. So what like this is such an incredible thing,
51:52
and I want to talk to you. We'll get more into the details of
51:55
like what you're up to during Bravo Con and like what you have going on.
51:59
But if you are a Bravo fanatic, which I'm sure if you are,
52:02
you're listening to this podcast and you got to join over to this face
52:07
this Facebook group of Bravo Con. It's Bravo Con is it Bravo Con twenty
52:12
twenty three or just Bravo kan No, So just to be clear, let's
52:16
be clear. My group is the original Bravo Khan originated in me of twenty
52:24
nineteen. What a year, what a time. Well, you know what
52:31
happened is they announced Bravo Con and I was like, I was in this
52:36
Facebook group with a bunch of the girls, and I was like, let's
52:37
make a Facebook group to have a meetup so we could only talk about that.
52:42
So it literally was like twenty of us and I kid you not,
52:45
it's sat dormant for a little bit and we talked to our little list at
52:49
hotels and stuff like that. And then you know how girls are, we
52:52
all got in fights and we all broke of course, I mean drama,
52:59
you know, in real life. It was like real life Facebook housewives drama.
53:02
So we all broke up. And then it's at empty until I started
53:07
noticing people were joining, and I'm like, well, I guess there's people
53:09
that are looking on Facebook because I was the only one. And then through
53:14
like June and July, I started picking up a few members and I remember
53:16
there was like one hundred and fifty people and like mid July, and I
53:22
was like, those are all people that just want to go. So we
53:24
kept the steam going and next thing, I know, when tickets came out,
53:28
the group was insane. Well this was insane back then. I got
53:34
a few hundred people, so I thought that was crazy, you know.
53:36
Yeah, and then it got too busy for me. So I added Susie,
53:39
my administrator, and she was actually going and I couldn't even go,
53:45
no, because I'm disabled. So I had a lot of issues with I
53:50
wouldn't be able to get around and the travel and everything. And I mean
53:54
a convention center, that's a lot. Yeah. Well that was at the
53:59
first year where there was three different venues, So you are the first year
54:02
okay, No, No, I wasn't because I had a pig, So
54:07
you weren't at the first year. Okay, got it all right. I
54:10
ran the control center from the whole weekend and let me just tell you that
54:15
this group only had like two thousand people then, okay, and it was
54:19
wild. We I know, on Instagram, you guys have your analytics,
54:22
you know, but for us, in one weekend with like two thousand people,
54:27
if that, we had one hundred and twenty thousand reactions and all the
54:30
stats and everything, which was incredibly insane. Okay, wow, Yeah,
54:36
so that group went nuts and after that, after the event, people start
54:38
joining it because they want to see pictures and then and talk about it.
54:43
Yeah, we had a few celebs come in, and you know, it
54:45
was kind of like a secret. Oh yeah, that's fun. Yeah,
54:50
it was kind of fun. And then we got some like Bravo Labs or
54:53
separate celebs. I would call probably like baby Bravo Labs, just people that
55:00
weren't famous but could be like, you know, just people are in the
55:04
scene of Bravo maybe. Okay, got I love that they're called I love
55:08
the term baby Bravo lebs. Yeah, that's what I call my baby.
55:14
I love you baby gorgeous, Baby Bravo Labs. They're so baby gorgeous.
55:19
Okay, sorry, go on, that's okay. Does baby Gorgeous the girl
55:22
from Salt Lake City? Yeah, Lisa, Yeah, I'm Lisa too,
55:27
But I call them baby Bravo loves. Just people that are kind of in
55:30
the scene, like I would call like you you were a baby Bravo Lab
55:32
and a few other instagrammers and I love you guys. Am. Anyway,
55:39
we just kind of start getting some hype going, and then through the next
55:44
year we were excited for the next one. But that was twenty twenty,
55:46
right, so I've got some action, but then we had to cancel and
55:52
that was a horrible year. Yeah. Then twenty twenty one we were restoked,
55:55
more people joined, and then canceled again. So then so actually we
56:01
were dormant for two plus some years, and then finally in twenty twenty two,
56:06
in April, it was official they were going to do it, and
56:09
I was going this time, and I could rent a scooter at Javitt,
56:13
So I was all pumped and great, and I had a huge meetup planned
56:16
and we had over three hundred people that showed up at the hotel bar.
56:22
Are you kidding me? Oh yeah, what hotel are you? Where you
56:25
at in New York? Where the meetup was three hundred people at their hotel
56:29
bar? Well, it was three hundred people just through the night. That's
56:32
what we kind of figured. It was kind of rotating through, got it.
56:36
Yeah. I also had group meet up hotel rates, which I managed
56:39
all that. I managed all the meetup stuff. It was nuts. So
56:44
so you you said, oh my gosh, Lisa, you secured hotels for
56:51
a special rate for your Facebook groups. Your Facebook group. Yeah, and
56:57
the meetup. We had two meetups, and let me just tell you how
57:00
fun it was having everybody at the hotel from the group. It was like
57:04
crazy. Everybody was from Bravo there the whole weekend. It was so much
57:07
fun. No one was really alone either. Yeah. And then the bar
57:10
had the hotel had a restaurant in the basement too, so we could always
57:15
go eat and drink whenever we wanted. It was very cool. Yeah,
57:19
it's amazing thing. Oh my god. So at that point the group only
57:23
had I think Susie and I. We announced on Bravo Con Day one we
57:29
had seven thousand people and it was nuts at that point. So when you
57:32
compare a Facebook group to like Instagram accounts, we're a community where people can
57:38
talk, they can start their own posts, they can do their own things,
57:43
and it's not run by one person who controls the story. I of
57:47
course am an admin, so I control some stories, but other people.
57:52
We allow everybody to post. It's a democracy, yeah, and I allow
57:58
everybody except for some people to post some things. But for the most part,
58:00
it's just a very active community of Bravo fans and they are loyal,
58:07
loyal. Oh yeah. And then after Bravo Con twenty twenty two, we
58:10
had a little lull, but not really because then guess what happened in February?
58:15
What Oh the scandival? Yeah? Yeah, Nce again. Okay,
58:21
so you're popping off about because it's not just as I scrolled through, it's
58:24
not just stuff about Bravo Khan. You know, you guys are like,
58:28
you know, people are popping up and being like, did anyone see this
58:31
on Salt Lake City? I'm still here for this or you know, yeah,
58:35
I mean it's the conversation starters for lots of things. So scandival happened,
58:39
and did that expand your Facebook page as well? Yeah? I would
58:45
have to say that. For about a month months and a half until Bravo
58:49
Kan was announced, it was crazy. I mean I was like, me
58:55
and Susie were like, oh my god, this group is crazy, and
58:59
it was fun crazy because we were all into it, you know. So
59:01
it was kind of like again that we were We had twenty thirty posts a
59:06
day, people were putting up everything. It was like our own you know,
59:08
just a little private fund corner and Facebook and then tickets came out and
59:14
then the whole group went wild again. And now it's the group has kind
59:17
of slowed down, but we're doing it a lot different this year because Bravo
59:22
had they gave my group pre pre sale hotel deals, so we work with
59:32
Bravo on something. So okay, okay, okay, whoa wow, Yeah
59:39
there are one. I mean, we are not affiliated, but they have
59:43
kind of taken us on as here. You got such a great group because
59:46
we manage it really well. There is no yes like, no mean girls,
59:52
no hate. If if you make a mean comment, you're out.
59:57
We just you know, keep it really managed. So I think that they
1:00:00
appreciate that with us. Yeah. Wow, yeah, we talked to you.
1:00:04
Would you say that you talk to them quite a bit. Oh my
1:00:07
god, that's amazing, you know. I mean that's the thing. So
1:00:10
and we also had pre sale tickets, so it's everybody know. Basically everyone
1:00:19
who was in your group was able to probably secure a ticket because they were
1:00:23
able to get the pre sale. Not this year. Oh, this year
1:00:28
it was a lot different because I think Bravo marketed the Bravo Con bigger scale
1:00:34
this year. Yeah, so a lot of people didn't get tickets. So
1:00:37
they didn't give you a pre sale again this year. No, they did,
1:00:40
Oh they did, but but people still weren't able to get them.
1:00:45
No, because there's two reasons. One is because we're a bigger group.
1:00:49
You know, we were at It's nineteen. Yeah, we have like half
1:00:53
of Bravo Con. That's more than half of Bravo Con right there all weekend.
1:00:58
Yeah, tickets sold out within five minutes, like seriously, and that
1:01:02
was pre sale day before public okay, gotcha, Oh wow, I didn't
1:01:07
realize that was pre sale day Okay. And then so pre sale day,
1:01:13
so we actually got the hotels back in like April, and everybody secured their
1:01:15
hotels and we got three hotels that were staying at Link, Cara and and
1:01:22
Caesar's. Great, I'm at Caesar's. Oh my god. Well, well
1:01:27
you're going to try to do a little meet up there maybe possibly, but
1:01:30
okay, cool. Kind of got our event calendar kind of full, not
1:01:32
with yours that we're doing. Yes, thank you for I mean that's the
1:01:37
thing too, which I was so honored to be, you know, featured
1:01:42
in the in the group. You put a nice post up there for me,
1:01:45
and you were for the Saturday night. I know that you were,
1:01:50
you know, really encouraging people for that to be your Saturday night meet up.
1:01:53
And then after the cabareamy, you know, because there's a bar at
1:01:58
the theater, so everyone just go to that bar and just hang out there.
1:02:01
Especially because the other thing I wanted to mention to, you know,
1:02:06
and we can talk about this on your group, but like Fremont Street,
1:02:10
if people haven't been to Vegas before and they haven't experienced the Fremont experience,
1:02:16
that is something that is not on the main strip of Las Vegas that's completely
1:02:21
off. Like Fremont Street is like twenty minutes from the main strip and that's
1:02:25
where the theater is that I'm performing in, and so it's and it's right
1:02:30
on like at the very end of Fremont Street, which is where the theater
1:02:34
is. So I thought that would be kind of cool if you know,
1:02:37
people who are going can have that Fremont experience. You know, walk down
1:02:42
and see you can see the Golden Nugget where speaking of sandobal where are ear
1:02:46
and sand It all made out in the Golden Nugget pool. And then you
1:02:51
know, make your way down and you get to see like on the roof
1:02:53
how they have the whole like light show thing. It's so cool and it's
1:02:58
very unique to last Vegas because it's like old Vegas. So and if people
1:03:04
haven't ever experienced that, it's a great excuse to get over in that area.
1:03:07
So yeah, I know, I'm so happy that it's a really cool
1:03:10
part of town. Like get a tattoo, you know what I mean,
1:03:14
Like check out that there's an awesome like cowboy on a you know cowboy writing,
1:03:19
you know, a horror statue or no Neon sign. But anyway,
1:03:23
I to a pin up that is pretty cool. It's all Neon. Yes,
1:03:29
yeah, such a great great photo ops. And it's just you get
1:03:32
that vibe of old Vegas which is really really fun and unique now. And
1:03:37
so I appreciate you posting on your page. There have been so many wonderful,
1:03:42
you know, supportive people that I know are coming and I can't wait
1:03:45
to like jump in and like I wish I could do you know, when
1:03:49
you're at a concert and people like do what do you call it? Like
1:03:52
they jump in the mosh pit and then they like body surf. I wish
1:03:54
I could do that to your Facebook group because that'd be such a blast,
1:03:59
but so thank you for posting that. So you have a lot of meetups
1:04:03
happening when you are going to be at Bravo Con and you're spearheading what you're
1:04:08
doing, is that what you're up to. I'm gonna tell you that with
1:04:11
Vegas, it's a different game. Because Vegas, I told you in the
1:04:15
Instagram message that it was thirty grand for me to secure a meetup room,
1:04:19
and I was like, okay, I don't even charge anybody for anything.
1:04:23
I make zero money off this Facebook group. This is all hobby hobby,
1:04:28
So I said, I can't figure out a way to monetize it. I
1:04:31
know, right, I was like, I can't charge. I can't charge
1:04:34
people for this meetup. So I figured out a couple other things. I
1:04:38
got access to a really cool vintage bar that I'm not going to mention because
1:04:44
it's private, but we can probably hold three hundred people as a rotating group
1:04:47
all night because you know people are going to go take it over and have
1:04:50
a couple of drinks and leave, you know. Yeah, And I'm doing
1:04:54
Bravo trivia. I bought one of the books from an instagrammer mentioned their names
1:05:00
or anything. But wrote please do I love your moms are watching? Oh,
1:05:06
your moms are watching? Yeahs, Oh how great they wrote it?
1:05:11
Yes, they saw something posted about that. That's awesome. Yeah, she's
1:05:14
the girl who wrote the Captain Lee show. I think so she's so she's
1:05:17
gonna be doing that that night. But I'm gonna do the Robert trivia in
1:05:20
her book and we're gonna give some away. But it's a small vintage Vegas
1:05:25
bar and it's super cool and I used to go there when I lived there,
1:05:29
So I secured that whole venue for three hours and there's no gonna be
1:05:32
no cover, just show up. And then after that we're doing a special
1:05:36
after dark party for the group. Is to kickoff Thursday night on the Strip,
1:05:40
which is something that's only secret also for our members. And then we're
1:05:45
gonna take Friday off from meetups because let me tell you that after last year,
1:05:50
Yeah, I was pretty hungover on Friday. Because you're gonna be getting
1:05:56
there, You're gonna do a meet up on Thursday, right, You're doing
1:05:59
Thursday. You're gonna you're gonna rest and rejubate, recalibrate, reboot Friday,
1:06:04
yes, and then back at it. Yes, and then so now it's
1:06:09
different because Jabet's was so close to the hotel and now we have to well,
1:06:12
so's the form. I'm at the link, So it's just figuring it
1:06:15
out the first day getting there and stuff like that, you know, and
1:06:18
then all day Bravo and then Friday night is the Bravos, the Bravos for
1:06:25
Legends Ball, what Happens Live. Yeah, after that, I'll be probably
1:06:29
back at the hotel just you know, doing what we did last year,
1:06:33
drink, talk and have fun. And then Saturday is just our normal day
1:06:39
and we might throw meat up in there. We're not sure. But then
1:06:41
we got your event at night, so that's gonna be another jam packed day.
1:06:45
Yeah, I mean full day. Yeah. And then I loved last
1:06:48
year's Sunday. It was so awesome that when people are like, everybody goes
1:06:53
home on Sunday, I'm like, no, they do not. No,
1:06:56
this is a very expensive weekend. Stay every minute you can. In fact,
1:07:01
I'm flying in Wednesday and leaving Tuesday. Great because for you to prep
1:07:06
and I need a day to recover. You deserve it, Lisa. I
1:07:12
feel like we need to like start a gofund me for you, just like
1:07:16
can we get her as a spot day? For the love of God,
1:07:19
Oh my God, because you know what, last year I must have hugged
1:07:24
a thousand people because from the group and it was my only time to feel
1:07:28
like a little baby brovol I was like, did you cry? I mean
1:07:31
that had to have been so overwhelming and really beautiful because you created this whole
1:07:35
community. I mean, it's really something special and I love I love the
1:07:40
vibe of your group and like you said, you don't you know, I
1:07:44
don't want to say tolerate, but you keep it a good a safe space,
1:07:48
a healthy happy a healthy place for people to come and not get toxic.
1:07:55
And it's easy to do, you know, I mean because we all,
1:07:59
as Jenna Lion said in this week's episode, that we are all broken
1:08:02
people and that is very true. But I love what you've created and like
1:08:09
it's just going to grow and grow and grow, and I hope that it's
1:08:13
it is fulfilling for you. It seems like it is. It is.
1:08:16
Well, the one thing is we are focused on is Bravo Khan, but
1:08:19
between seasons, which is to us Bravo con we talk about everything else too.
1:08:28
Yeah, and we follow all that everybody can post if they want to.
1:08:31
So they go in and post about shows and gossip and dramas and everything
1:08:35
else. So it stays pretty lively between the seasons. And now after this
1:08:42
one, you know, we're gonna see how big we're going to get.
1:08:45
Who knows there's you know, Unfortunately, there's a couple other things going on
1:08:49
Facebook I'm not thrilled about. So, oh my god, is there Facebook
1:08:55
drama that I need to know about? Well, but this way, there's
1:08:58
another group out there that allowing scammers to sell tickets. And I have been
1:09:03
the scam master trying to find all these people and keeping the lists of all
1:09:09
the scammers, and they come from these groups. So to me, I'm
1:09:13
like, no, I'm like playing police dude. Oh my gosh, Lisa,
1:09:17
your whole mod team has been doing this for month and a half.
1:09:21
Now. I did notice that you've got very strict rules about posting ticket selling
1:09:28
tickets or recent We allow it. We allow member to member sales. And
1:09:33
that's where all these scammers started picking up on it, because they do this
1:09:36
for NASCAR and everybody else. You know, they scam people in these Facebook
1:09:40
groups. So we finally put down our we put the foot down and said,
1:09:44
here are the rules. If you're going to buy tickets from someone,
1:09:45
you have to follow these rules because we can't guide you on every single ticket
1:09:50
sale. I mean, we both all this work. You know, you're
1:09:54
busy that you go out of your way to this is im. You really
1:10:00
are my mom, You're like, god, oh man, let me tell
1:10:06
you that. Susie and I tell you that we have a private text check
1:10:10
going all the time and a Facebook one and yeah, we both do it
1:10:14
for just the love of it and it's so fun, but we really are
1:10:17
protective. Yeah, and good for you. Just to let everybody know.
1:10:21
Scammers are going to come back here right before the Bravokan event because they're gonna
1:10:26
try to sell tickets again because they know people are thirsty for them, right
1:10:29
and they you know, didn't have a good chance this year. So but
1:10:32
yeah, we'll be watching that. But the thing is, if you go
1:10:35
to these Bravo groups, just we are the original Bravo Khan. We're not
1:10:39
Bravo kan any numbers, and you'll know because that they're right now, it's
1:10:43
like nineteen point whatever thousand follower i mean subscribers members if you will, so
1:10:49
you'll know the group. Yeah, and it's kind of like you know,
1:10:55
I had, I had nobody else for years, and it's you know,
1:10:58
it's good about to happen to. Other people are going to start groups and
1:11:00
I am not competitive. No, it's not coming from a Yeah, there's
1:11:04
no race in this. It's just a great group. And then you know,
1:11:08
it's not like you can't be in other groups. You can't. It's
1:11:11
not like it's an exclusive thing where you know, people corner to the market
1:11:15
and housewives stuff, because everybody has it, but yours just really stands apart
1:11:19
for so many reasons, and it's the longevity of it. It's great.
1:11:24
I can't wait to meet everybody, like I can't wait to jam out,
1:11:28
especially because Saturday for me, that's gonna be my last show. So I'm
1:11:32
going to be like ready to play, and so that's going to be a
1:11:38
blast. Was I gonna say, oh, yeah, do you want me
1:11:40
to link your Facebook page in the podcast notes? Okay? Cool? So
1:11:45
I will link the Facebook group in the podcast notes and then you just you
1:11:49
got to go through Lisa. If you want to get in, you got
1:11:51
to go through her Man. Well, we prove everybody. You got to
1:11:54
answer all the questions. We're kind of got real hardcore. So get this.
1:11:57
Even with that, our membership went down because we started being more hardcore.
1:12:00
To protect ours good, I'm not going to race to be the biggest
1:12:04
group. I want to be just the best group. Yeah, and I
1:12:06
don't. I mean, I don't make any money, so it's a matter.
1:12:11
I know, again we have to remedy that. But I barely make
1:12:13
any money either. But you know what passion get Passion pushes you a long
1:12:16
way. Let me tell you, I can't figure out how to monetize it,
1:12:23
so I just gave up. Well, listen, if anybody knows how
1:12:26
to suggest some monetization for her Facebook page, that would be great. And
1:12:31
you know I'm not the best at that either. You know, I'm trying
1:12:34
to find sponsors for my show and things like that. But I mean,
1:12:39
I have a patron page, so I have wonderful subscribers that you know,
1:12:43
support me in that way. But this is this is a public, This
1:12:45
is on the public. I do two live public podcasts a week Tuesdays and
1:12:50
Thursdays, and that's free. So so I go and I basically do like
1:12:55
six shows a week. I recap so whatever shows are on Monday night you're
1:13:00

1:13:09
like tons of recaps. By the way, you have a podcast too,
1:13:13

1:13:15

1:13:23
work and I had my own drama with moving, so we're on pause.
1:13:28
We should pick it up here in the next week or so. But it's
1:13:30
called the Queens of Bravo Con Fun. Okay, Oh, that's great,
1:13:36

1:13:39

1:13:42
we'll be picking it back up now. It's on Spotify and then we have
1:13:46
