5:10
Now let's get into serving some dish. Serving dish, well, we
5:15
have to follow up on the Shannon news. Okay, so Shannon Badoor,
5:20
as we all know, has was arrested and has been charged for two misdemeanors
5:27
because it's a hit and a run and a DUI. This happened in Newport
5:30
Beach on Saturday night. Now, Emily and I will now discuss the the
5:34
neighbor's ring cam footage that has been sold to TMZ. They have the exclusive
5:40
footage and the pictures that were taken of the townhouse. It looks like a
5:46
townhouse that were taken by I believe. I think it's from Kiki from Talk
5:51
of Shame because that's where I saw the pictures first, because she went down
5:55
there. I mean, good, yeah, what were we thinking? We
5:59
should have been down there with all the police. I mean, it's not
6:04
that far we could have done this. Emily, I don't know. I
6:09
don't know. I don't I don't know where my head was. I am
6:12
like, I'm not a reporter. I don't have that kind of reporter mind.
6:15
My mind goes to comedy and my comedic mind said that I can't do
6:20
any kind of parody about this, Like that's just not no, no,
6:24
we just need to cover the story. So we just got us both like
6:28
CB radios. So now we just we're gonna listen all day, all night,
6:33
and whenever we hear anything in LA or Newport Beach, we'll assume it's
6:38
a housewife and we report. I mean, this is so, I mean,
6:43
I know we're laughing, but it's really because it's like it's uncomfortable,
6:46
it's intense. There are a lot of emotions. So like it's worse than
6:51
I thought it was. I will say, okay, so yes, and
6:56
and and it's not as bad. And for me, it wasn't as bad
7:00
as I thought it was going to be. But it's bad. Like so
7:02
I I was picturing I guess I was picturing something I don't know, worse
7:09
than what I saw. However, it's bad, so but my mind just
7:13
goes to the worst possible. So that doesn't really say much. It's so
7:17
bad and you think to yourself, God, like thank god no one was
7:25
on that fucking sidewalk. Yeah. Also like the the next like it's also
7:31
like you know, if you ever driven over like just a parking like uh,
7:35
what's it called, like in a parking lot, like the cement blocker?
7:39
Yes, yeah, just like a divide or whatever. Just it's so
7:44
loud like inside the car, Like I can't imagine how loud that was inside
7:50
for Shannon, and it doesn't Archer and archase, sorry, and it didn't
7:56
register like uh like I need to like stick around. This is not good.
8:01
But see here's the other thing. And I will say this that people
8:05
are not giving any credit to the fact that she had to have been black
8:09
out drunk. Oh that's so there's no way there's reason or logic happening.
8:15
Yeah, right, and even so we okay, So the ring footage is
8:18
her coming around the corner on it like it's like a side street on a
8:22
Newport Beach street, and she's going fast, fast enough to where she kind
8:28
of loses control of the car as she's turning left down this street. So
8:33
she kind of fish tails a little bit and can't get control of the wheel
8:39
and then goes up and veers to the left side of the street straight into
8:45
this house. The house is this is what I didn't expect. It is
8:50
right at the curb. I mean there is I think there's a sidewalk.
8:54
Maybe there isn't even a side there's a sidewalk, there's a sidewalk, any
9:01
concrete garden bed okay, and it is right at the street. There is
9:05
no lawn. So here's what I was expecting, more of a like a
9:09
rural suburban street where she went up on someone's lawn and was like in the
9:15
window, you know what I'm saying, Like, that's what I was picturing.
9:18
This is definitely not that. It's right at the road, you know.
9:24
It's yeah, the townhouse is right at the road. So that's why
9:28
it was such an incredibly huge smash. At the rate of speed that was
9:33
she was going, there was no slow down, you know what I'm saying,
9:35
Like it went right in there and the people were in the house.
9:39
Now there was This actually made the news and on KKEL News, and I
9:46
saw this on Bravo snark Sides. If you want to see the footage,
9:48
you go to Bravo snark Side on Instagram and it's a whole story and it's
9:54
like Shannon Bedlah hit this townhouse at a speed and which she ran into it.
10:01
She there are actual remains of the vehicle on the home. She pulled
10:07
backwards, there's oil and this woman kept going. We didn't know then what
10:13
we know now. It is Shannon Bdore from the Real Housewives of Orange County
10:18
and then it like goes into her a montage of clips of her from the
10:24
show, and I my heart her tagline and her tagline which is the tagline
10:31
not Lemons but the tequila one, the tequila tagline. Yeah, and I
10:37
just was like, this is a really dark day for everyone, you know,
10:43
well and I I God, this is hitting hard and everyone's right,
10:52
this is going to change her life forever. But then then it's like,
10:56
I'm gonna give her twenty four hours to take it back. But like what
11:01
we're hearing now too, is like Jeff Lewis says that she's going to go
11:05
to counseling. She doesn't. Yeah, she's lining up to it. She
11:09
feels humiliated, she's very sorry, she's going to do everything she can.
11:13
Her attorney, you know, basically spoke out about that and she's going to
11:16
counseling and I'm going wrong answer right, And now so to hear that she
11:22
didn't bring it up with Tamra. Okay, so all right, So to
11:28
teas in a Pod had their podcast and this aired yesterday and Tamra is overwhelmed.
11:35
She has overcome with emotion, she is basically talking to Teddy as she
11:39
had just found out about this DUI hit and run arrest, and she's basically
11:46
like, I'm in shock. I don't even know, like this is like
11:50
this has got to be a joke, because I just talked to her yesterday
11:54
and basically what she was saying is that the trace Amiga has had some sort
11:56
of work call about the trace amigas show which sidebar the trace Amiga's account on
12:05
Instagram posted was that their account or Vicky No, it was their account,
12:11
and then I believe Vicky reposted it, so the trades. I think Vicky
12:16
posted it was a scheduled post. Maybe it was probably a scheduled post,
12:22
right, and I thought that Vicky on her private account also posted okay,
12:28
so she took it down and then put it back up okay. Well,
12:35
and it was like and again, we can probably chalk that up to either
12:39
scheduled posts or their social media I wouldn't even blame their social media person because
12:45
I think the social media person would probably know not to do that. I
12:48
think it was a scheduled post. But it was like, literally the news
12:52
broke and then within I don't know, an hour of that they had the
12:56
trace Amias like come whoop it up with us in Arizona and Phoenix and like
13:03
Tequila, you know, it was the worst and I was like, oh
13:05
my god. Hey, So anyway, so back to to Teas. In
13:09
a pod, Tamra says that she had just had this conference call with Shannon
13:16
and Vicki on Sunday, the day after this DUI arrest, and Shannon was
13:24
quiet and she's and didn't say too much but didn't mention it. And so
13:30
when the news broke, Tamra obviously jumped on to do the podcast and in
13:37
real time was overcome with emotion. Her voice was shaking, and she thought
13:43
it was not true at first, and is like, this is going to
13:48
change her life. This is you don't make these decisions. You don't get
13:50
into a car after you've been drinking. And I'm like, well, yeah,
13:54
but that's the point. You're not making decisions because you're blackout drunk.
14:00
You know. It's because Hamas said it's a choice, and I'm like,
14:03
actually, at that point, it's no longer a choice. You are completely
14:07
out of your body and you have no control. And that's the problem,
14:09
and that is why this should be the biggest wake up call for Shannon and
14:13
why she should go directly into rehab. The problem is that, and I'm
14:20
no expert on this, but some people's rock bottoms, what appears to be
14:24
what should be a rock bottom isn't necessarily their rock bottom. And I hope
14:28
that it doesn't take much more than this, but from the sounds of it,
14:33
it might, and that's what is so sad about it. So anyway,
14:39
she talked about this on to teason a pod. You can listen to
14:41
their podcast in full. I guess Vicky did. Let's see here, let
14:46
me see Vicky. This was on page six that Vicky was slammed for posting
14:50
this tone deaf post, and it was where is this taken down? Okay,
14:58
thank you page six for so many I can't even get to your article.
15:01
You their new format, their new format sucks new format. This is
15:07
new? Is it? Just like all it is is just ads. I
15:11
don't even I don't even get to read the article before. It's like before
15:13
you go look at eighty seven ads about belly fat. I can't even get
15:18
back to the story. I'm not yeah, I am going goodbye. I'll
15:26
go to people. Thank you, people manage anyway, Okay, yes,
15:30
Emily thoughts, oh no, that was what I heard. That's where I
15:33
read the Vicki thing was on page six that she had put it up been
15:37
taking it down, and I was willing, like I did, think,
15:41
oh yeah, total scheduled post. But then I was like, and she
15:43
put it back up. I'm so confused. The backup part is confusing.
15:50
And how are they gonna This is what's very sad because Trace Amigas, what's
15:54
the future of Trace Amigas. I don't I can't foresee them doing a show.
16:00
I mean, I mean, honestly, what was the past of Trace
16:03
Amigos. I mean, it's fine, it was just Emily, how dare
16:07
you? It was just hitting its stride. It was just hitting its stride.
16:11
It had a lot of potential. And so there it is when I
16:17
say this, I don't think any any of those ladies need to be doing
16:22
a show pushing like where they're getting wasted all the time with I worry about
16:30
all three of them. So I'm kind of okay if that show doesn't continue
16:34
and get crazier and crazier. Yeah, okay, Well, well it's not
16:41
necessarily a show for them, it's for the fans, you know, the
16:42
fans want to go and whoop it up, and well, why can't they
16:47
whoop it up? At Yes, No, I'm kidding. I know,
16:52
I don't what was I gonna say? What other thoughts about this? Oh,
16:59
we haven't seen her mugshot, right, so we have now we know,
17:06
we got the headlines on the first day. We have her response,
17:10
you know, from her attorney. We have her response via Jeff Lewis.
17:17
We have the ring camera footage, we have the crash site. We're also
17:22
going to get dash cam footage from the police. It's California, so they
17:30
have to record all that. So dash cam or the cam. I was
17:36
gonna say, body cam. I wonder if they'll be Yeah, I don't
17:38
know, but I mean that's I'm pretty sure right that gets released in California.
17:47
I'm trying to think. I think, so, well, we'll find
17:51
out. God, this is really rough. It's a tough pill to swallow,
17:57
and oh my god, here we are. I mean, look,
18:00
it can't be worse than lou That one was nuts, like all this shit
18:07
that she was screaming and yelling and stuff like, and like there's just a
18:11
really good point and look at her, yes, selling out shows across the
18:17
country. Well yeah, And also, I mean she's mentally seems to be
18:23
all right, moving past the addiction or moving with it, like, but
18:29
she's not, you know, she she's she's okay. So I think Shannon's
18:34
kind of got to go through this. I really hope she gets it.
18:37
But yeah, we'll see. Lou went to AA right, but she did
18:42
she ever go to like a full on rehab? I can't remember. I
18:47
vaguely remember there was a rehab, but I don't know. And the thing
18:51
that worries me with, oh yeah, because of course she did, because
18:55
Bethany was like said that she paid. She convinced Bravo to pay for her
19:00
you have, Oh, there you go, that's right. I also have
19:03
another correction. I don't know. I must have been just out of it
19:07
yesterday because Real Housewives of New York was so bad. But I stated when
19:15
we were reporting this news about Shannon that the Real Housewives of Orange County didn't
19:19
have their reunion yet. And I don't know why I thought that. Yes,
19:23
of course they did. I remember it happening. Oh yes, they
19:27
did. Okay, So lucky for Shannon, she doesn't have to endure that.
19:34
Yeah, but now everything that she says that the reunion is going to
19:38
be through this filter on our ends. Yeah, and for the rest of
19:42
the season no less. Oh yeah yeah yeah. I also was like,
19:48
because the news reporter said something like, uh, it's reported that Bravo was
19:55
not filming at the time, you know, and I was like, lucky
20:00
for them, Well, they wouldn't have been filming that anyway. Nobody wouldn't
20:06
let her get in the car, like she wouldn't have been you know what
20:08
I mean, Like they wouldn't have been filming. It's also late at night.
20:12
But if she would if she went to another location after filming, and
20:18
then that happened after filming and she was somewhere before, there's some there could
20:22
have been a correlation or a direct connection to you know, people drinking on
20:29
the show. And oh, I understand what you're saying, Yeah, right,
20:32
right right. In terms of Bravo's liability, yes, And I also
20:36
think that this is probably a good marker for Bravo to look at and say
20:42
anything is possible with these housewives, like at this point, I mean as
20:47
if they didn't know that, but to be way more ahead of the curve
20:52
with monitoring drinks. In other news, this is actually like great news,
21:00
but it is being so eclipsed by this whole DUI hit and run situation,
21:06
and that is that Captain Sandy is engaged to Leah, her longlife partner.
21:12
Yeah, that's awesome. I saw that. I'm very excited about this.
21:22
She said that she truly could not wait. I shared my vision list of
21:29
love and I had written and wanted, and then I got on the knee
21:33
and she said, yes, I mean, of course she did on a
21:37
beach. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a beach picnic and there were
21:40
water toys, water toys, water toys proposed to her. Got on my
21:44
knee on a water toy and she said, yes, Oh my god,
21:49
it's great. It's great. I'm really happy for them, and it's just
21:56
it's exciting times. Congratulations Captain Sandy and Liahra elations A. What else do
22:04
we have in the news that I think that's plenty? Is there anything else
22:07
you want to say, Emily about And not another one thing, Not one
22:12
thing about TJ Max, not one thing about used makeup. Nothing. So
22:18
I'm good, We've covered it all. Okay, good. I didn't say
22:25
it, Bethany, get off my jock. Hi, Bethany, I said
22:30
it. I said it. Say it, send it, red it,
22:37
regret it? She nay it, can say it. Don't say you just
22:41
I will say naked. Nice Emily, she does a lot of good work.
22:45
Uh huh, she's had some recent missteps. Okay, interesting, interesting,
22:53
take Amy, you have a red laser on your forehead. Ah,
23:00
she's out front alrighty deep deep cleansing breaths. So that, my friends,
23:14
what you just heard from me is called PTSD from a BRAVA from a former
23:19
Brav celebrity. Well, listen, let's heavily phase. I love it.
23:26
But you know what Captain Jason said, whatever you do is going to have
23:30
hurdles. You know what. You're right, It's true Captain Jason. And
23:34
all I all I need to hear is him say hurdles. The word hurdles
23:38
in my life, whatever you do is going to have hurdles. Pop,
23:48
duh. That's how I feel too, Maddie, thank you. Listen?
23:53
Is it? Listen? Just like cleanse the palette, A little rendition of
24:00
baby Daughters, buy myself flowers? Can Mama self flowers? Right? My
24:07
name in the same hours say things you don't. That's her like pounding on
24:19
the table, jamming facing home moment. Then akins love me better, you
24:30
can letter, can mommy better baby? Cammy better baby? Can mommy beta
24:40
cammy better baby? Yeah? Oh that does put me in an instantly happy
24:56
mood. Oh my god, Okay, let's start abupplow deck under the season
25:00
finale. Yes, she fully turned into a seal when she thought maybe she
25:11
gets an American hibachi grill. That was an overreaction. I was like,
25:17
ohay, they all are. She's got to read the room whenever she starts
25:22
to lift off, and everybody's huge starts to go down a couple of beats
25:29
because they don't know where this is going. Because I've been in situations like
25:33
that where the reactions so much bigger than needed and you're just like, okay,
25:41
a kind of like mine right now. Yeah, that was like,
25:52
I mean, typically her reactions are they're overreactions, but they work and they're
25:59
fine. But this was like she's tired, it's the end of the season.
26:03
I think she might be losing it at this point, Like she can't
26:07
see the forest through the trees. She doesn't even know what she's getting excited
26:11
about anymore. She just knows that every fifteen to twenty minutes, an alarm
26:17
goes off and she has to be like, oh, it's like and so
26:25
it could be anything, you know. And the timer went off a little
26:27
earlier, a little late, and it just it was a miss. It
26:30
was a miss for me, y'all. Oh my god. Yeah, I
26:37
think I do still really like Asha. Don't get me wrong. That just
26:42
every time is like it just hits a weird tone in my brain. Yeah,
26:48
it's a tone all right. Now, of course we love Ashia.
26:52
We live, we live for Asia, we live an I did love to
27:00
captain Jason at the beginning, Yeah, showed it's like he was going to
27:03
step up to the onion, like yeah, yeah, stack it light.
27:08
It's totally snorted. He Oh my god. Well, Zarena's like, I'm
27:18
not going to do it. You're not gonna make me. And then and
27:22
then he goes into the galley that we've forgotten was way too small to work
27:26
in. Yeah, right, and she's like, I don't remember what she
27:32
said, like, am I going to get a tongue lashing or like whatever?
27:34
Yeah, and he's like no, he's no NaNs on this boat.
27:40
But wait, I'm not doing an Australian accent well at all. I apologize
27:45
anyway. He's like, nothing you're going to do he's easy. And then
27:48
we get there. Whatever you do is going to have hurdles, and like
27:52
they wanted this soile, so you do it the way you can do eight
27:59
it's bad. I don't again, I don't understand why when they didn't just
28:03
bring somebody from the mainland that knew how to do this. Such a great
28:07
question because it can't be that hard. It's kind I mean, it is
28:11
a hard skill. I'm just saying it can't be that hard to find someone
28:15
that could do it. Unless I'm totally wrong. Maybe it's according to Asha,
28:18
they just don't have this, so maybe that's maybe it is hard.
28:25
But I think they could get somebody. I would think that, like people
28:29
are like skilled in tap and yaki and Didgerie do down there? You know?
28:33
But you could just I don't know, I don't know. It just
28:37
seems like Jason was really holding some resentment towards being having to go into Budgy
28:44
smugglers and serve breakfast that he was like, you're gonna do it, whether
28:48
you like it, and all that's all I had to do this, you
28:51
know what I mean? Like he was really but I did like that he
28:56
kinda was supportive of her to some degree. And boy, I was nervous
29:02
for her. I mean it was like nerve wracking. Even her being up
29:04
there for the dinner. She did not seem comfortable. She still seemed not
29:10
happy be doing it. And thank goodness, that cheesy primary was so jazzed
29:18
about it that he was like, is that the volcano hut? Well there
29:21
was the bronze. Yeah, yeah, I love George Forman grill, make
29:26
a baby. You're doing amazing, Like he was so jazzed that that actually
29:30
filled the negative space and vibe that I was like, you know what,
29:33
douchebag, you're a good guy for that moment. You're a good guy in
29:38
this moment. Yeah, he could have been pretty harsh for what he was
29:42
paying for the experience and what the experience was. But I also was like,
29:48
I kind of thought, man, you could have had her best of
29:52
something. Instead you got like her worst, and you're paying the top dollar
29:57
anyway, get her best? What do you Why would you want that?
30:00
I know? I mean, they are nuts about tap and Yankee. I
30:06
mean he's like, oh the volcadeo. I thought he was gonna like jack
30:08
Off. I was like, this is jazzed beyond belief. And then that
30:15
other guest was so wasted when he picks up the egg. My god,
30:19
what was that. Then he told the table that he didn't realize it was
30:26
a hard boiled egg when it was a raw egg, and he smashed it
30:29
on his face. Oh, he said, just like he said he didn't
30:33
realize. Oh he even got the words wrong. Oh that's curious. That's
30:37
how I took it. I could have gone back to watch, but I
30:41
did not. I was so taken with his wife being like, that's it
30:44
for you. His wife was all of us, yes, her big eyes,
30:52
and you're done. I no sex for twelve weeks after this, you
31:00
are. But his face needs to be memed after that, because it was
31:07
like it was as though Asha just acknowledged him walking into a room like oh
31:14
okay, sorry, a wind down. He really did take all of the
31:22
air out of the room, just like, all right, that didn't happen.
31:26
He was right here. I mean, he had no choice. He
31:30
just said, like it's a good thing. He was super drunk because like
31:33
then you don't really realize how awkward it is for yourself. Oh I know.
31:38
And also he if he wasn't that drunk, he probably would have reacted
31:45
in a more ego driven way. But he was beyond that kind of drunk
31:51
and he was just like almost passed out at the table, and so he
31:55
just sad, sad sailor drunk sailor. Oh god. And then the cat
32:04
the captain comes over and he catches that prawn, which was magic magic.
32:08
Yes, it was very nice of him to join for four seconds. I
32:14
don't think he likes being anywhere. Captain Jason doesn't want to be anywhere but
32:16
at the in the bridge. That's it. Whatever you do is going to
32:22
have hurdles. I don't like these douchebags. So I try to study his
32:30
full away from name is like Caine, the worst say accent ever. Sorry,
32:36
don't like. I didn't love that guest too, because he was doing
32:38
his wife's bidding on the dress. Yeah, he messed up, he messed
32:44
up. I didn't like that. Yeah, but he made it easier on
32:47
Zarena. So yes, So you know fifty fifty fifty, you know it's
32:52
a fifty fifty touch bag. I uh, that dress situation was. I'm
32:59
like, you guys should be so lucky. You know, if you if
33:00
there is an iron incident on a Below Deck episode, you're gonna be the
33:07
not only are you the primary, but you're gonna be the primary star of
33:10
the app. It's gonna be how you handle it, what you're gonna do
33:14
about it. And you, guys chose to try to take the high road,
33:17
but you were faking it and we caught you, and then you didn't
33:21
let it go, and then it was as douchey as we would expect.
33:23
But he made up for it at the top of YACKI dinner with how just
33:29
unhinted she was over those prawns and it did not nothing at that dinner looked
33:37
good, No, and like you're gonna be hungry after because like how much
33:43
food is going to make it to your place. You're losing a lot of
33:45
bronze here. Yeah, I don't I would have been bummed out. Also,
33:52
no dessert, it looked like I'm sure there was, but oh we
33:54
need at our top level. Yeah, we should have had. We needed
34:00
tapanyaki flaming dessert. I mean something prawn overboard, guys, prawn overboard.
34:07
Although yes, I am so glad we didn't have to watch Culver run around
34:13
in a wig for that. You know what, good point? Yeah,
34:17
that was when I'm so glad no one wanted that. That would have been
34:22
the weirdest thing ever, and Zorena would have hated it too. Everyone hated
34:27
it and we didn't even see it. That's a really great point, and
34:30
it goes to show that Captain Jason made the right call here. Yeah,
34:36
because I was not really on that side. I wanted Zorena to have the
34:38
support that she requested, so I was willing to take one for the team
34:44
and allow Culver to be there like a fool. But you're right, it
34:47
wasn't necessary. Wasn't needed, I mean, especially with that primary. And
34:54
so there's that the guests leave the Jason says that he gave he gave the
35:01
guests money for the dress out of his own pocket. That was cool.
35:06
That was very nice. So you must have googled, like how much it
35:08
was, and I mean, I don't know, I guess, well she
35:15
also yeah, I mean I guess you can figure that out. And I'm
35:17
sure that that dude said it and got edited out like somewhere along the line
35:22
that price has been mentioned that you're so right, So somebody got it to
35:29
him to Jason Nice, he did make it nice. That was very sweet.
35:34
Fourteen hundred dollars per person for a tip, and then you know total
35:37
for the season thirteen thousand, thirteen thousand. Did you know thirteen thousand?
35:43
I did know. And it goes back to that Yahoo article that I read
35:47
about what they actually get paid. Talk to me about that that you read,
35:52
Yeah, well this was I haven't I'm gonna super paraphrase because I read
35:58
this like a week or two ago. But the payment for below Deck is
36:00
mainly their tips. I'm talking about. Bravo barely pays, according to this
36:07
a very small percentage, and the bulk of their income comes from their contract
36:12
and tips, their contract with the shipping company, the yacht company. So
36:16
it's like, how much do you think Bravo, what do you think they
36:21
pay them? Bravo? Did they give a number? No, but maybe
36:24
somebody else would know the number, but I got the I mean, okay,
36:29
so if they're making thirteen thousand tips and they and that's way more than
36:31
Bravo is paying them, So what could that be that like way more than
36:36
Bravo's payingge. Yeah, interesting, way more. Well, I mean way,
36:40
what is that? Like I don't know the percentage, but I'm just
36:43
saying like that is not right. No, I certainly wouldn't think that's the
36:51
case for people like the recurring cast members like captains and chief stus and bosuns
36:59
that return. I believe they probably have a separate contract that is. I
37:05
mean, I guess, but like I don't know, like I it doesn't.
37:10
I can't. It can't be competitive with TV money, you know,
37:15
like like what like captain Jason's going to be and Sandy and Lee They're going
37:22
to be captains no matter what. That's a different pay grade anyway in terms
37:25
of versus the staff on the boat. But like they also, I can't
37:34
imagine Bravo is going to be like here's your million dollar contract. It's not
37:38
like Housewives, where you sometimes get a whiff of somebody making like like a
37:43
NI or Yeah, we never do get a whiff of what below deck makes.
37:47
I would like to know, and I would really just specifically like to
37:51
know captains and the recurring cast members like the chiefs dos and the bosuns because
37:55
I would imagine they would absolutely be making six figures. I mean, there's
38:00
no way that you know, Sandy and Lee all these years haven't been making
38:05
haven't gotten to the point where they have made I would imagine a million dollars
38:08
for a contract for a season. I totally would think that. Absolutely.
38:13
I don't know, I really don't know. I'm gonna betty, I'm going
38:16
to bet yes, yeah, maybe, but for but for like the New
38:22
yachties who we don't know they're gonna get, you know, pennies on the
38:27
dollar. That's crazy, That is crazy. I don't even know. But
38:30
I'm just guessing because they are more exposed on and filmed twenty four hours a
38:37
day pretty much because we see in their bunk rooms too. Excuse me,
38:40
everything that they do is on camera pretty much. I mean, yeah,
38:45
I'm sure that there's break rooms or something like that, or break areas,
38:51
but it's like they are on a constant girls trip, like want a girls
38:55
trip? Has much they may because you know, I can't. This is
39:00
below Deck is one of the most popular shows on Bravo, and so for
39:07
the cast members to not be making much surprises me. Now, first of
39:12
all, I can understand that they would not be making as much as the
39:15
other shows because the only film for five to six weeks, so it's a
39:19
very short amount of time. Okay, But to my point, TV money,
39:24
a full TV season can be filmed in like eighteen episodes. Yeah,
39:30
right, that's true, and you have union breaks, you have, right,
39:37
downtime, you have. There's just so so this to me, like
39:42
if you if you had a movie that was shooting or a TV show that
39:46
was shooting like below Deck on network and it was the only difference would be
39:52
that it was quote unquote scripted, you would be paid so much money to
39:57
do that show because of also, like you get your residuals and everything.
40:01
So I'm like, well, listen, you you you know this is why
40:06
there's steam behind the idea of unionizing for reality television. I mean, this
40:13
is it right here, what we're talking about, right, I'm so I
40:16
get. I mean as much as I love what what this all is in
40:22
terms of like scrappy like documentary footage kind of thing, the reality is someone
40:30
is making so much money off this. So it's not it should be the
40:36
cast, It's not right, and it should be the production. I bet
40:39
the production crew is not getting like what they should be getting paid either.
40:45
But anyway, well again, and I you're not going to get an argument
40:51
out of me when it comes to unionizing. You know these productions because I
40:55
think that that's a great idea. Yeah, And unfortunately, I'm going to
41:00
keep watching. I'm gonna keep watching till they tell me that it's hurting their
41:02
cause and I'll stop. But okay, I do love it. Jamie gets
41:07
the helmet because she had the iron on the dress. They go to Flames
41:12
of the Forest for dinner, and they get to experience a beautiful dinner of
41:16
kangaroo and didgeridoo. It was like they walked into avatar. That was wild
41:22
the avatar. Yes, Asha's like I'm blue Any Normans, Oh my god.
41:34
Did you clock that? She and the captain were like arm in arm
41:37
walking in, not just linked up like hey, we're doing a fun little
41:40
flirty bit. They were like arm an arm Well, maybe our dreams will
41:45
come true. I hope so. But I don't think it's that vibe.
41:51
I don't know. I think he's in love with her. I think he's
41:55
in love with her, and I think that she loves him, but not
42:00
like that. Yeah, that's what I think. Yeah, could be he
42:07
can put in his own contact. He's just that is, he just wants
42:10
her to do it. That is the weirdest choice to make. It's very
42:15
it's weird. It's weird. Yeah, Jouau reads Culver for filth this dinner,
42:23
which we're not going to object to. Then we get in the vans.
42:28
There's drama. There's drama in the vans, darling Okay, Luca and
42:31
Jamie are dming and Zorena is calling out Joao about like, is your alter
42:38
ego gonna come out this evening? Juau pressures Culver to tell Jamie a plan
42:45
B about you know what's gonna happen with this charter? Like are they I
42:49
mean, they go into the matter what I want to Culver is such a
42:53
dope, And so I was glad that that he was, because he was
43:00
also lying he hasn't told Jamie anything. He hasn't told her one thing.
43:05
And then and then to hear him say, I don't know, we'll go
43:07
camping. Well she's coming on a job because he said he had a job.
43:12
He's just and like every conversation that Culver and Jamie had, every sentence
43:20
starts with from her, did you hear from Olaf, like every time hear
43:24
from Olaf. It's like, that's how I'm gonna start every conversation with you,
43:31
Emily, and you to me if I don't get a text from you
43:37
at once a day. I mean, Olaf is like the Norma, you
43:43
know, because there's always Norma on below deck Mad with Sandy. She's like,
43:46
ye, gotta eat a text Norma. Norma's got somebody from me.
43:51
It's always Norma. You get Norma Now it's all off. Olaf is now
43:54
and we're not talking frozen, you know what I mean? No, no,
43:58
no, I mean maybe we are. I don't know. Maybe maybe
44:00
we do. Maybe what if it is? It's Josh Kad and an old
44:06
off costume. He's the guy doing all the bookings for the Mad, but
44:13
he's sick arms. How does he survive in such hot weather? Genie can't
44:20
text me back because he's got stick arms. Genie can't text me back?
44:27
Wait, do your do your culvert? Because it's a it's what's his face?
44:35
I was trying to remember. I was trying to remember the other day.
44:37
I was like, who is that character? Is that cartoon dog?
44:42
Yeah? And it was like Muddles or it's from the seventies. Mug Ugly,
44:47
Mugly, Yeah right, yeah, Muttley, Muttley the Dog, the
44:52
Dog. Yeah, that's over. Oh my god. I mean okay,
45:04
so then we get to where oh yeah, okay, so we're in the
45:07
vans. Yeah. Oh. And then Zorena is like, you're not yourself
45:09
tonight to Joao, and then Asha's like, oh, I've been waiting for
45:13
this. And then they get to the club and then Juau asks Margo to
45:19
kill if he can kiss her. She has the same reaction that she had
45:22
with Harry, and she was just like, yeah, you know, I'm
45:28
not doing anything, so I guess, uh, it wasn't even it was
45:31
just I read it as like she was very drunk, and then she was
45:37
thought it was just like a peck because if you watch your mouth, she's
45:40
going in for like a peck. And then he stays longer and it's kind
45:45
of like okay, and he backs away because she's really not reciprocating, and
45:51
then he totally stops. And I thought it was good that Zorena saw the
45:58
whole thing because she could see like that was nothing like she did not want
46:04
that. I mean, I think it was consensual, but I just thought
46:08
like that that those two are totally different pages, and that was so weird,
46:15
weirdest kiss in the history of reality television. And just like when you
46:22
see Margo's face, her eyes are literally googling. Yeah, they're googling.
46:27
I mean, she's just blackout drunk. And he's, uh, what was
46:31
his alter ego again? What was his name? Bell's not Bell's abab but
46:38
it's like of them, you know, So then that's weird. And then
46:50
Culver then they're in the club and Culver the dog Muttley. It was like,
46:55
Damian, I are in great terms, and then Jamie's like, you're
47:00
so hot, and then Luca's like, can I get a kiss? I
47:02
mean, like within, I love the way to edit that. And then
47:07
the morning comes and they're all, we're not even gonna talk about that.
47:09
What happened? Why does strip teas on that mantle where they all got up
47:14
and we're just like stoneface but like trying to like dance hard at the girls
47:21
like it was hot. I didn't see it. I remember Clver up there
47:23
and I remember him trying to like and then his body all got up there.
47:29
It too. Oh yeah, but they're all just like stone, like
47:34
no smile, quietly, just trying to like shake it lightly. Not hot,
47:42
guys, it was just a little psa and I thought you I was
47:45
gonna totally knock down that kneon behind him too. Yes, yeah, it
47:51
was a mess. M That disgust also kind of sounded like Sandy disgusting bak
48:07
off the mantle. Okay, So then the morning happens and Serena is so
48:16
upset. She's like, you were so bad last night. I thought you
48:19
were a friend. Last night you weren't a friend. And I don't know
48:22
what to do, and he's like, I'm sorry. Then they both go
48:24
their separate ways, and then Joea is crying in the hallway and he's crying
48:30
to Zorena saying I've stayed so far away from that person for years, and
48:36
they hug. Thought, uh, I really I have a low threshold for
48:44
bullshit. Yeah, but I really felt for Joel in that moment because I
48:49
know people I myself like, once you think that you've like kind of gotten
48:53
past a point in your life, and then you see like it rears its
48:58
head, you're like, fuck, like what I Yeah, well I'm glad,
49:04
I'm I I wasn't sure what you were going to say. That's interesting.
49:09
I felt the same way, And I also was worried that I was
49:15
bamboozled. So I was gonna check your temperature on this and see if I
49:20
was kind of like because I was thinking to myself, it does seem real
49:23
that he felt ashamed and humiliated and he has had growth, and this was
49:30
just a it was just another check in where it's like you just can't drink
49:34
them like that, you just can't drink because then you do turn into this
49:37
different person. But also he was showing signs of it before at the dinner
49:42
with Serena in terms of his short fuse and like she said everything that he
49:47
did basically at that dinner, which she was afraid of, and then he
49:52
like did it, but there were signs of it ahead of that, and
49:55
so that's why I like didn't falter for being like you're fake or whatever.
50:01
But I do think at his core there's like real growth, and I do
50:07
think that like the reality of Zorena and Joel having something after this is like
50:14
wasn't going to happen even if he was on his best behavior. It just
50:17
isn't. Yeah, it's just like. But I thought they left it really
50:22
well, and I was really glad he didn't. He kind of went to
50:25
get upset by himself, and I thought it was a nice hug. But
50:30
I get that that is that. Yeah, absolutely, And it's interesting because
50:35
Joel even said in one of his confessionals when he was talking about Culver and
50:39
Jamie going on to the next boat, he was like, no captain in
50:43
his right mind is going to take a couple that's only been together for ten
50:46
days onto a charter, you know. Yeah, And I just thought,
50:51
well, I mean, that's actually a really good point. And now here
50:53
you are admitting that, you know, these boat mances they just don't last
51:00
other this this this happened in the morning too, when Jamie finds out that
51:02
she kissed Luca and what it was like a surprise party and that that's such
51:07
a great way. What do you she knew she kissed him? She was
51:12
I think what she said was she didn't realize. She thought like nobody else
51:15
knew. So I thought that she played that, you oh, because her
51:20
confessional she's like, I just wasn't ready for everybody to know about it.
51:25
I miss that. Yeah, oh yeah, she did know or remember,
51:32
so she was faking it, which I thought, you know, listen,
51:36
I mean, that's a that's the better way to go. You know,
51:38
you don't remember how convenient. It's fine, it really is. And she
51:45
told Culver right away and it's fucking Culver and like that you needed a way
51:49
out. Have you ever seen a reaction in slow motion that wasn't in slow
51:52
motion? That it was the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Yeah, you
51:59
didn't not know how to react. I mean, I don't know how I
52:02
would have reacted in that. I mean, I know, I thought I
52:06
was pretty impressed, and he didn't like lose his mind in terms of like
52:12
overreact in a way that would be memed for the next ten years. You're
52:15
right, No, you're right. It's just that it was like, I
52:20
think part of it was like it's the morning, we're all hungover. He's
52:23
like, oh shit, arm up to show some sort of physical discomfort.
52:32
But he's like, I really don't even have the emotional grasp right now to
52:37
look. And it was such a funny and weak reaction that I just thought
52:44
was hilarious. And she's like okay, and then he's like, here are
52:51
this starfish? So then in her confessional, she was like, yeah,
52:57
I you know, we made up and it's all fine, and I'm just
53:00
gonna leave the boat because I feel really bad and I want to make him
53:02
feel better. And I'm like, girl, cut it off. Yeah,
53:07
get out. You did yourself a favor. Yeah. They no longer follow
53:10
each other on Instagram. I read, oh wow, breaking out. It
53:15
was huge. Stop the presses. Oh boy, I am shook. If
53:23
Wow, what a way to end the podcast. Thank you for bringing that
53:28
news to me. Yeah, I was good at Yeah. I guess I'm
53:32
impressed with the person who actually took the time to find that out, because
53:36
I could care shitless. Really, I mean, And in the grand scheme
53:43
of things like yeah, I mean, I googled our Jamie and Culver are
53:47
still together, and there was a three within it said updated three minutes ago,
53:53
Like in the Google feed, updated three minutes ago. And you know
53:58
the bold thing that comes up on top of a Google searcher, the thing
54:00
that comes up to the highest a little bit larger font. It's yeah,
54:04
featured, yeah cover. I don't know the source. I just read that
54:08
cover and Jamie no want you to follow each other? And in wow,
54:12
three minutes ago heard it here last, and finally no one else will report
54:17
it because no Cake How's on it. They're gonna story this just in Ron
54:27
the docks down Under, and it turns out we've heard that Cover and Jamie
54:34
are not following each other news on the next Mediterranean Chatter season after this.
54:45
So I was gonna say, oh, yeah, uh, what did you
54:46
think about Captain Jason offering Margo a job in Thailand? Is the third stew
54:52
and her being like, oh my gosh, I can't believe you did this.
54:55
Thank you so much. Great, Oh my gosh, oh boy.
55:01
And then the next thing, you know, she's like, I need to
55:05
take some time to myself. The stronger I am, the better I'll be,
55:08
okay in this industry. It was such a I thought it was actually
55:14
really good, okay, because because of what happened to her, you think,
55:16
like she needs a break because of the whole drama. Yeah, she
55:22
she totally needs a break because like if she doesn't, you know, she's
55:28
got to be able to just be able to regulate her emotions with triggers.
55:34
I mean, like she clearly she's not there yet. So I thought that
55:37
was really good that she can that she's like, no, I got to
55:40
take a minute because that I could see totally getting lost in that world and
55:46
people do. I mean, I think Joel probably had a lot of stuff
55:52
that he should have worked out. But then you just go into like this
55:54
warp zone of boat boat boat boat and it's not really reality and you're not
56:00
really getting help if you need it. So I think that was really good.
56:04
Yeah, I see it both ways. Part of me thought, well,
56:09
your agenda may have been just to be on this show, and that's
56:13
concerning to me because you're not a real true YACHTI if you don't take advantage
56:16
of these opportunities. Oh but it's again, it's below deck, like she
56:23
has a calling card now forever and she'll be fine, Like she can get
56:28
another boat. I'm not worried about her getting another boat, you really are.
56:31
I just question her yachty passion. I just question if I'm not here
56:40
to do that, what am I even doing here? I question her passion
56:45
for the sea and surf work. You know. Look, I I don't
56:52
like when she got that text from Luke and it totally set her back a
56:59
day. She was like drinking on the job. Remember what was the text
57:05
remind me, I don't remember the day that she was drinking on the job
57:08
was because he texted her to talk, all right, And so I think
57:15
like she's gotta definitely get some tools to be able to She's, you know,
57:21
as you would be very triggered right now, and who knows where the
57:24
other triggers will be. So I do think that she's got to like figure
57:28
some stuff out. And I think, yeah, it's really smart of her
57:32
to be like as the fear that I'll never get another job and like over
57:39
just being like I don't care, I gotta figure this out kind of thing.
57:43
Mm hmmm. I just wonder if she, like legit, went into
57:46
yachting just to be on this show though, That's my biggest question. Maybe,
57:52
So that's that's really why I'd get into it. That's why I'm gonna
57:55
be a YACHTI. I just want to be on that show and get paid
58:00
pennies on the dollar. Yeah, all right, we'll do it, and
58:04
you'll be undercover for a drama dar like this just in you would not question
58:07
my YACHTI passion. I damn well, will, I damn well, will
58:15
Emily? This was so fun? What a what a season good boy,
58:20
no them, so on, Uh, what what is in store for us
58:24
next? Is are we going to get a reunion? I mean, are
58:28
they doing that like they usually do it? Just zoom right, which is
58:32
so weird. Of course we're going to get one, right, Yeah,
58:36
it's always so weird. They're dressed to the nines, but they're in like
58:38
these bathrooms and these weird like places that all over the world, and it's
58:43
such a mess. But probably I think we will. I think so.
58:46
I mean I don't know why we wouldn't. This was kind of a I
58:51
think it was a good but you know what, maybe not because there were
58:53
there with the people that we would have the most conflict with their gone on.
59:00
So oh right in terms of it would be a fun you know,
59:06
maybe Peacock will do a reunion, but I can't see Andy being like,
59:08
yeah, let me sit, let me let me do this. Who else
59:13
would do it? There's no one else who's ever done a reunion for any
59:16
Amy Phillips. Oh, I'm just gonna do it as Asia the whole time.
59:25
Yeah, maybe they wouldn't do a reunion, but I just again,
59:29
I go back to like Brava, keep leaving content on the table like,
59:32
so maybe I don't leave content on the table. Emily. We're back tomorrow
