  Speaker 1: Please tell me it's not about Tom. It's about Tom.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: It's not about to about Tom Rose. I know exactly
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: when you're gonna die, and I love that about me. Um,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: we're obviously referencing one of the greatest cameos, one of
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the crest cameos of all time, the psychic who was
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: on the first season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: The first season. It was the first season, and yesterday
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: we are talking about Real Housewives as a franchise, as
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: a pop cultural jugg or not. I feel like Housewives
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: is kind of polarizing. Like I personally just started watching
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: um in the pandemic, and so before that moment, I
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: really did not want to consume any Housewives content at all.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: So if you have an aversion to it, maybe this
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: conversation will key you into why we love it so much. Yeah,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and we are going to go back to the beginning
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and see how it all started, because this is like
• 1:00

• 2:32
  Speaker 1: How are you doing, Franny, Well, I mean, I'm exhausted.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I had a I had a very very bad travel
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: day on Saturday, that I do you really went through
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: it this weekend? It was nightmarish and I hope I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: never experienced that again. But what did you do this weekend? Rose?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I feel like you had a quite a the opposite
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: weekend and that it was very lax and luxurious. I
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: did it was? I Um. I rented a cabin in
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Big Bear for a couple of days. I wanted to
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: do a little writing retreat Vaca moment, and I just
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: spent my whole trip outside writing on the porch, going
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: in the hot tub. And then I also did like
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: watch a lot of TV at night after I was
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you know, done writing for the day. Then I let
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: myself watch TV and read Star Wars fan fiction, my
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: like my current vice. Yeah. I finally started watching Obi
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Wan Kenobi, which I'm really enjoying the season. And you know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this, but the Star
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Wars fandom on the internet is really tomic. It's like
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and the racism got to such a fever pitch that
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: you and McGregor had to like make a video statement
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: about it and say like, if you are racist, you
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: are not a Star Wars fan, and like get out,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: we did. We didn't know that happened. That's so it's cool.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: It's it's good to see Disney and like the talent
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: finally making a stand in this fandom. But it's still
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: really upsetting and a lot and so many people are
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: like hate this show, and I think it's really great
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and it really has me back on my you and
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: McGregor bullshit, my Star Wars bullshit. The prequels are really
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: like what I grew up with, and I do love
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that era of Star Wars, so this is really hitting
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a sweet spot for me. I've never gotten into any
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: sort of Star Wars original series, Like the whole Baby
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Yoda thing. I was like, even that couldn't make me
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: watch the show. We're gonna need to do a Star
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Wars episode virgins. If you would like to hear that,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: let us know. I would like that, but I don't
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: want to watch like the New Ones. I only want
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to watch the the the O G three. Okay, well,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: another thing that I watched when I was in Big
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Bear was the entire first season of the Sex Lives
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of College Girls. Did you watch that when it was on? No.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: All I remember is that every one told me to
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: watch The Sex Lives of College Girls when it came out,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: because they were like, oh my god, it's surprisingly good.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: And I was like, the fact that like so many
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: people in a row are telling me it's quote unquote
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: surprisingly good, I think is a little bit of a
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: red flag, but I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: latest person to tell you it is surprisingly good. The
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: pilot is pretty bad in terms of how it's written,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: like it's very much hello fellow teenagers, like writers trying
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to replicate what they think teenagers talk like, but that
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: that gets less and less as the show goes on,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and there were several moments where I laughed out loud
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: watching it. One of the lead girls is Polly and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: challom Timothy shallowmy sister, and she does kind of look
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: like Timothy shallowme with boobs. What huge boobs, huge jugs, jugs.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I feel like I've seen a meme you've you posted
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: of Timothy with huge jugs, and that's based when his
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: sister looks like, oh my god, well, I mean gender
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: goals honestly, Um, but it's good. Yeah, I honestly need
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: respite after finally watching The Staircase, um, which I told
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you very adamantly that I wasn't going to watch, but
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: that you and that when you did watch it this weekend,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: you said you weren't going to talk about it on
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the pod. Okay. So here's the thing about me is that, um,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: sometimes I don't no, no, no, sometimes I don't know
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. And when I said I wasn't
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: going to watch The Staircase, I thought you were talking
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: about the Mormon Show with Andrew Garfield, which I did
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: also don't watch that. I loved it, but you will not.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I watched the pilot of that of the Andrew Garfield Show,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and let me tell you, I'm very happy that Andrew
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Garfield has found kind of playing the same person over
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and over again, which is kind of like it's kind
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: of like it's kind of like no, no, it's actually
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: like nice. It's like very nice conservative white I who
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: is insecure and not gay for some reason, like the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: kind of gay. But that's the thing is like all
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: of it because but are very explicitly not gay, and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: you're like, why just be gay? But but I do
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: ship him with his detective partner on the show. Yeah,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the detective partner energy. Um, but to the staircase, to
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the point of the staircase. You know, it's very good. Um,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: it is like very gay, it's very bigeable, and I'm
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: not sure I would want to watch it if I
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: if I wasn't binging. Sometimes it is a little background
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: TV because of like, you know, a lot of exposition
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and a lot of like stuff like that. Um. It
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: does also sometimes feel like, you know, the undoing if
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: it was directed by Ariastar, But I I really you
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. But but it's good, Like it's
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a really good and if you haven't watched it, it's
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: basically just like Joanie Janie Janie, Tony collect Joni Mitchell
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: falls down the scene Toni Collette falls down a staircase.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: She's extremely mangled and looks as if she's like murdered,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and the husband says he didn't do it, And you're
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: kind of following this story trying to figure out if
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: she actually fell or if she was murdered, and I
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: am not. And it's and it's based and it's based
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: off of a document It's based off a true story,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and dom yes, Fran, I didn't know that, Fran, Yes,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: it's it's this is It's based off of a true
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: story and a documentary about that story, which is kind
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: of what started the entire modern true crime genre. So
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and so that's why I really liked the show. I mean,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: outside of the great performances and the drama of it all,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I think it's a really interesting take on what that
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: true crime genre is looking back to the thing that
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: created it. And what I love so much about Tony
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Collette in it is that in these pieces of media
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: true crime, you know, where there's like some some dead
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: white woman, um that that person is usually incredibly abstracted
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and like really absent from the narrative. And like that's
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the thing with Kathleen in terms of like the reality
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: of this crime is like she's very unknowable because she
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: died and like most of the drama around her life
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: happened after she was dead, And this show, I think
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: does an amazing job of making her a real person,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: like obviously a fictionalized version of that, but I think
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: it's kind of inserting this woman back into her own
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: story it. Honestly, she Tony is so fucking captivating and
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: everything she does, but oh my god, honey in the
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: kitchen for Prestige TV, in the name of God, let
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: me she deserves Emmys. She deserves accomplishments and rim jobs.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Accomplishments and rim jobs. And let me tell you also,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: what Tony has to do physically with her body in
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: this show is so extremely difficult to do as an actor.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: And yet Tony is so good at dying on screen,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: and she has had to do this in countless movies,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and it has drawn such a new respect for for me.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I've always loved Tony, but it's like such a new
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: respect for me to realize that is as an actor,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: it's actually extremely psychologically and physically difficult to do what
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: she does over and over again. And I hope that
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: this is like, you know, another award that she can win,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: because she does. But she also what I appreciate her
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: as an actor is that she doesn't get trapped in it.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I think there was like, um, a video going around
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: on Twitter and then maybe also on TikTok of some
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: of someone asking her if she does method acting and
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: she was like, no, I think that's pretty stupid, UM,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: which I love, Like you can just be good at
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: pretending and she really is exactly that's exactly it. Um.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: But anyways, UM that I've that's basically all have been consuming,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: aside from the new B sides that were released from
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Scissa's control. Have you listened to that yet? I have not? Um,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: how are they? I I mean, they're there. It's Scissa,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: so it's always going to be like sublime and perfect
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: and beautiful and heartbreaking. UM. Some of these songs were
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: released on SoundCloud last year by her. UM. One of
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: them is called Jody, but on SoundCloud it was called
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Jodie Foster. And that is actually my favorite of the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: new releases. I've been having it on repeat in my head,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: like literally, like the refrain plays in my head all
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the time, all day every day. It's like that good.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: But I think I just the release is just so
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: messy to me because like where is her album? And
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: what was with these SoundCloud songs? And like why are
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: these SoundCloud songs? All of a sudden, A part of
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: what I feel is like a absolutely perfect album that
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: doesn't need to be touched at all, you know what
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I mean? Like when Bowen on our pod. Um, if
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: you haven't listened to Bowen's episode our Taylor Swift's Red episode,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: it's very good. But when Bowen said on our pod
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: that Control is the blue of our generation, like that
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: really is the t Like I feel like Control to
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: me the same way Blue does just encapsulates our generation
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: perfectly with cultural references that we understand, with a heartbreak
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: that's like very relatable, with like really really like like poetic,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: like true poetry in the lyricism that is sometimes abstract
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and sometimes crystal clear. Like that is so blue. And
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Joanie would never you know, release Blue and then like
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: release a bunch of B sides like like it would
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: just kind of taint the purity of something that is
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: so perfect. And I think Control perfect, um. I mean actually,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: like Joonie did release B sides um like a few
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: years ago actually, but like that doesn't count. That's like
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: fifty years, you know what I mean. And they were
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: really good B sides, but Joe Rogan did take them
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: away from us. I love a B side. But also,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: you know, part of making art is editing and is
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: about being intentional about what what you leave in the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: work you're making. And what you take out of it.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: And part of the reason why some of the most
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: iconic albums of all time are the way they are
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: is because of those choices that were made. And like,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: especially if you listen to an album, you know, from
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: beginning to end, like you're listening to it the way
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: that the artist wanted you to, and like that is
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: intentional in and of itself. So like, yes, it's always
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: great to get some B sides, but I still find
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: myself thinking of, you know, the original as as the
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: that's the thing that I'm going to want to go
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: back to. Yeah. Same, And it's like I'm not mad
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: at says there anything. It's just like I just I
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: think I would have been very happy for any of
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: these tracks to be released as singles, Like I didn't
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: think that they need to be tacked onto something that
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: is so untouchable and Scissa is so untouchable to me. Um,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: but anyways, those are those that's my music take for
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the week. Yeah, I will need to listen to that.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I also, um, Lucky Lee just released a new album
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: that I need to listen to. So hopefully I'll have
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: some updated music thoughts next week. While we're on the
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: music portion. Have you listened to Christina's Spanish language album?
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I have not. It's apparently going to be a series
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: of Spanish language albums question Mark. I don't actually have
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the intel on this, but um, it's really good. I
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: mean a lot of it is like very generic, but
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: like to hear Christina in this genre which is sometimes
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: like like straight up mariachi, like soul like ballad mariachi
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: is like so good. Um, and it's kind of giving
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: what I wish Omar Apollo gave. And honestly, her Spanish
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: like isn't that bad? Like I I feel like, you know,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: she it's it's not perfect, but she commits to it.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: And I think that's something that I really appreciated, is
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: that when you've ascended to the level as high as Christina, like,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: it's it's a pretty major play to say I'm going
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: to do a Spanish language album, So you know, I'm
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: glad she's doing it. Good for her, Good for her?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Do you want to talk about her dick? It's kind
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: of baity to me, but maybe Christina pegs her husband
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: just I have a lot of doubts, but like, can't
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: it just be a gag that she like wore a
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: strap on. I mean, do we have to plummet for
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: a deeper meaning? Unfortunately with me, I have no choice
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: but to intellectualize and overprocess everything. However, as you're saying it,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe you're right. Um, I will tell you
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: that I saw a movie last night that you would
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: there would be absolutely no way for you to extract
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: any kind of deeper meaning from, which is Jurassic World.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I don't even know the newest Jurassic World movie, um,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: which you know. The whole thing about it is that
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: it's reuniting all of the stars of the original Jurassic Park,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Laura Dern, Jeff Goldbloom, and Sam Neil. And it's crazy
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: to watch a two and a half hour Jurassic Park
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: movie in which the dinosaurs are not even really the
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: main feature of the movie. So the movie do I
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: even want to know? The last movie ended with dinosaurs
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: now being out in the world, and I thought that
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: would be the premise of this movie, like, that's really interesting,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: what's the world like when dinosaurs live among us? Instead,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: it takes a sharp turn away from that and becomes
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: about this like tech pharmaceutical company who have used um
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: like dinosaur DNA to make these crazy locusts that are
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: like eating all of the world crops, And so the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: movie weirdly becomes about rehistoric but but bugs and corporate
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: espionage obviously, and it's just really weird. It was very long.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: It's also a lot about clones, because there's a clone girl,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: and and like I just the point of Jurassic Park
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: is the dinosaurs. It is not. It's yes, it's about
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: the humans trying to survive the dinosaurs, but it's about dinosaurs.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: So to watch a movie in which the dinosaurs are
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: like a secondary thing, What babe, what are we doing here?
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Makes no sense to me? And that's infuriating because I
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: really do love Jurassic Parks so much. The last movie
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I do too. It's a little bit of a flop. Yeah,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: and I still had a good time. There were some
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: good moments. There's um there's a scene Bryce Stallas Howard
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: honestly was one of the best parts of the movie,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: her and Laura Dern And there's a scene where Bryce
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Stallice Howard is crawling into a swamp to get away
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: from this dinosaur, and it actually was probably the best
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: part of the movie. It was incredibly tense, um. And
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: that's that's the kind of thing you want when you
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: are watching a Jurassic Park movie. You want to see
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: people trying to not get eaten or people getting eaten
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: by dinosaurs. Yeah, exactly, And there was not there was
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: not enough of that. And also, you know, hate Chris
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Pratt um or Crisp Crisp Ratt as he is referred
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: to ums. But you know, Laura Dern looked amazing, was amazing.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I just wish she hadn't spent most of her time
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: in the film talking about bugs. And the bugs were
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: really great. I don't want to hear about the fucking bugs.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: That sounds stupid. Get the get the bug off the screen.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not watching that speaking of something that I wanted
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: off the screen. This week, I'm not going to recap
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the legendary finale that aired because they just have too
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: many thoughts on it. But girl, the finale opens and
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the judges you know, aren't coming out to present, you know,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: they always present their kind of look or whatever. And
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: DeShawn goes today's episode. He didn't say it like this,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: but basically was like and today's episode is brought to
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: you by Dolce and Gabbana, and every single look that
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: you see on the runway today is by Dolce and Gabbana.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: All the judges were Dolce, the winning the winning teams
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: wore Dolce and every single talent portion that they had,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: and the winners got a prize and like mentorship from
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Dulce and Gabbana, which means they're trying to buy back
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: They're like credibility with marginalized audiences, essentially, because there has
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: been over a decade long's worth of like offenses from
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Dolce and Gabana specifically that have been very raised cyst
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: against Chinese people, very racist against Black people, like very
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: like exploitative, homophobic, even like every kind of um as
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Travel would say, and as Travel would say, all the
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: opias and isms, um how that's so gross. That's gross
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: and makes me feel really bad that, like where's the integrity,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Like where's the person who should have said, um no,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: we're not taking your fucking money. You know, Deshaun always
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: wears Dolce custom Dolce looks on the show, so I
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: wasn't hugely surprised that appeared. There was like a little
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: bit of a relationship there, but like I'll bet you,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I bet you Law made it happen. Like Law has
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: talked about how he still works with Dolce and stuff
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: um on in interviews before me is making like a
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: very concentrated, almost like pop cultural blitz. Greup right now,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: because I don't know if you were really aware of this,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: but they dressed the entire Courtney Kardashian Travis Barker way
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: in a way. Yeah, they did all of the looks
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: for all the Kardashians for the whole wedding weekend in
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: a way where it almost looked like a campaign. So
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: they're really like they are trying to use their money
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: to just buy their way back into pop culture's good graces,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: and it's work. I mean, they're never going to go away.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I mean in fashion specifically, they are an iconic fashion house.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: That's it's that's always been true. So you know, it's
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: not surprising to me that a lot of people are
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: going to cross the lines and go ahead and wear it.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: But it's like, yeah, it kind of sucks for everyone
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: in the show though, because I'll bet you there are
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: people on the show that really hated that and didn't
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: want to do it, but they have no say, because
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: it means they don't have a job. But like Jamila
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: like that with everything she stands for. I mean, like, girl,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: we're rooting for you. But I was like, what, get
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: the dull j off the screen. I'm not watching that.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: But you know which faggot I was watching? As I
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: said before, and as I said, I think last episode,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I'm having like a You and McGregor renaissance. And when
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I watched Down with Love with our friend La La
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: last week, she asked if I'd ever seen I Love
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: You Philip Morris, and I hadn't. Have you seen it?
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I watched it like when it came out ages ago.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I watched it for the first time this weekend, and
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: love it's pretty funny. It is now my it's like
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: my favorite gay love story and like that kind of
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: joking but also kind of not um if I don't
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: know how I missed it when it first came out
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: came out in two thousand nine, but um, I didn't know,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: like it's based on a true story. I thought the
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: romance between you and and Jim Carey was so sweet
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: and like adorable, the scene where they're dancing together in
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: their prison cell, and I loved how just fucking gay.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: It's really gay, like it was, It's really gay. And
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: you know what, it reminded me. It reminded me that
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: gay people are so much more interesting than straight every
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: single time. And also this, you know, for those at
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: home being like, but I was played by two straight people.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: First of all, allegedly. Second of all, we we have.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: First of all, I don't. Second of all, like the
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: rose doom you rule is very important, and the rose
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: doom you rule goes as follows, which is, if a
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: straight man plays gay in anything, he has to take
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: it up the butt in the first five minutes of
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the thing, and in this movie, it is taken up
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: the butt very quickly. I would not say that that's
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: you said that to me. You said that to me
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: very crystal clear. I think we were talking. We were
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: we were talking about in the first five minutes of Halls,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: literally that which also stars in the first five minutes
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: of Halls, in which also stars you and McGregor, he
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: gets fucked in the ass within the first minutes. And
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: so I do believe, you know what, I believe that
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: if an actor has at one point played a role
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: in which they got fucked in the ass, on screen.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: It's okay for them to play gay forever. Just kidding,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: but I love you. Philip Morris two thousand nine. Two
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: nine was like a different time. This is back when
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: you know, men were still playing trans women and like
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: representation whatever. But it's just like a fun gay movie.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: It's a really sweet, weird, funny gay love story and
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I had a great time watching it, and it gets
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: something that is like my favorite thing in gay ship,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: which is gay people that are despicable, like gay people
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: that are more Yes, my favorite favorite people are bad.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Gay people can be bad, and I love a movie
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: that acknowledges that queer people can be imperfect, be gay,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: do exactly exactly exactly. When we started being friends. There's
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of things that I pressured you into engaging with,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and I do think that Housewives is one of Housewives
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: is maybe the most concrete example, because there are a
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: lot of people in my life telling me to watch
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Housewives and I did not listen to them until a
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: one Rose Dambu was like, no, no, no, real deal,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: this is what you should do, and you gave me
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of really good um. I think, honestly, Housewives
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: is a very intimidating franchise to overcome because there's so
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: much of it, and you gave me, you know, an
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: idea of how to start, and I think that was
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: what was really helped. Yes, I I think if you
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: were going to start a Housewives journey and listen, I'm
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: not anyone out there that they need to do that
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: because it is something that that will rule your life
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: and if not ruined, yes, rule and ruined. But if
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: you are interested, it is I think important to figure
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: out which franchise you will vibe with the most, and
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: then from there, what is the right season or era
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: of that franchise to start with, because I don't think
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: it's true that you can just like not for everyone
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: at least, I don't think it's true that you should
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: pick a season and start at the beginning. Although I
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: will say I think to me, the best Housewives franchises
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: are ones that I can go back to the first
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: season and it's good from the beginning. But I know
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: that it's not true with every city. Yeah, and and
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Rose and I are going to talk about, you know, uh,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: the season's the franchises that we do watch and like,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: what makes them unique or thematically interesting or whatever. But
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I do think that the first season of New York
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: is exactly what you described, just this sublime, completely perfect
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: kind of era of TV that you can watch over
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: and over again. I think the first four seasons of
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: New York are just like a there's a lot of
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: ways to do it, but like I think, if you
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: watched the first four seasons of Seasons of New York,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: it's like a perfect crash pad into the world that
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: is real Housewives. Yes, and there have been multiple eras
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: of Real Housewives of New York. I think there have
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: been eras like of the franchise in and of itself,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Like there was a time when these shows were very
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: like small and scrappy and like about these people's real lives,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: and then they crossed a certain threshold where these women
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: were famous because they were housewives, but in a way
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: that the show never really addressed because it would be
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: breaking the four wall. And now we're in an era
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: of the fourth wall has been broken a little bit,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: and I think every iteration of housewives, every city deals
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: with that in its own ways. I think probably the
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: way we see it happening now the most is when um,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: a cast member has some kind of real life legal
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: drama and that's how the real world becomes part of
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: real housewives. Um. So it's it's just very interesting to
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: see how this has all changed. And you know, like
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: this is an entire like area of pop culture. There
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: have been books written about it. There's so many Housewives
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: podcasts and like and ours is really trying to not
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: be one. We're sorry for all the Housewives recaps, like, look,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: but I think we do like we do pretty um
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: spare sparely, sparingly. Obviously, right now, the main focus of
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Housewives is Beverley Hills. I think like Beverly Hills is
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: in a way the crown jewel of housewives because I
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: think it has I think New York has seated that
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: spot and Beverly Hills is the one that yeah, she
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: she is the girl. Um and it's certainly the one
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: airing right now that people seem to be the most
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: interested in, also largely because of the real life and
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: I think New York and Beverly Hills are kind of
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: there are two examples of Housewives that are very different
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: in like execution, but like, I think they are kind
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: of the best of the best in terms of cast members,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: in terms of drama in terms of like seasons, long
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: longevity of like what makes the show is good. But
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I think to kind of differential. I think it's important
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: to differentiate them because, first of all, the girls in
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Beverly Hills make the girls in New York look like
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: like very like you know, just like poor almost, but
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: like the New York girls are socialites, and they're very
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: grounded in the reality of being socialites, of getting very
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: drunk out at night and like engaging in antics that
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: way and finding drama that way. York. New York is
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: simply more fun and Beverly Hills is more Yeah, New
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: York is a little more human. New York has a
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: little more wit. I think a kind of classic New
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: York wit is injected in the show, specifically with Bethany,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: who is kind of the narrator of the act of
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the whole show for all the seasons that she's in
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: UM and I think she really is such a stronghold
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: for what that show stands for. And if you don't
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: know who Bethany is, she's just kind of like, I mean,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how to describe her. She's kind
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: of just a psychotic, like amazing clap clapbacker who is.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: She's very good at crystallizing exactly what's going on and
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: dictating it. There's there's really no bullshit. And that's why
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Bethany is so great on how Sizes because she says
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: exactly what she thinks at all, and she's so relatable
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: but all so an egomaniac, so it makes her like
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: very manic and like make bad decisions sometimes we're like
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills, it's Lisa vander Pump right, you know,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: and her objectivity compared to like Bethany's is like opulence,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: not being relatable, being very like proper and having a
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: kind of air about her that's all about like class elitism, pompousness.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Like I think that I don't know. I think those
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: two as like archetypes for each franchise, like set you
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: up for what to expect from like the rest of
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: the show. Well, it's interesting how every franchise has someone
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: who is kind of clearly the protagonist um or like
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: the show is centered around them and their social circle,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: and it's usually like that the show started that way
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: and then kind of spun out as new cast members
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: came in and out, um like rounding out, what I
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: would say is the trio of the best Housewives iterations
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: would be Atlanta. I think Atlanta, New York, and Beverly
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Hills are top three, and so like, in the early
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: days of Atlanta, I would say, you know, Nini was
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: really the protagonist of the show, and I do think
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: that Candy eventually became that, although at times it was
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: also kind of cynthia Um. But then like you go
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: and look at Beverly Hills, and like Kyle has always
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: been the protagonist of Beverly Hills and like continues to
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: be even though she's fucking boring. But you know, in
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: the early seasons, everything was very much from her point
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: of view, and she was the one who had family
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: drama because her sister was on the show. Her other
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: sister is on the show now, And that is when
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Housewives is at its best, is when it's not um
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: drama between two people who like have become best friends
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: for TV and like it's being fabricated between them, but
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: real life, interpersonal drama that is finding its way on
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: a TV because there are cameras around. Like That's that's
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: one reason why I think the early seasons of New
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Jersey are so good. Is because and continue to be
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: is because a lot of the people on the show
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: are related, and so you're seeing like real family ship
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: playing out on this. You know this under these insane
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: you know, Truman show circumstances, you stole my goddamn house
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: um a Beverly Hills reference to To go back to
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: the Nini of it all, it must be said that
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Nini helped Housewives as an as an entire franchise transcend
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: in the culture. Like her as a meme queen and
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: her completely like irreplicable ability to grab attention from literally
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: any scene is like brought Housewives as a whole to
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: another level, which is why Nini is the highest paid
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: house I've in the history of Housewives. And it's also
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: why nine when she had her very public like breakup
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: with Bravo, she said to Andy, no one knew who
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: you were until they knew who I was, so you
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: better put some respect on my name. And I was like, period, Mama,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: it's true. And you know what I realized recently is
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: that um, like in the way that the that the
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: fourth wall is being broken, that's even now started to
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: apply to Andy too, because he only ever showed up
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: for the reunions. And in the last episode I saw
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: of Beverly Hills the current season, because I'm still behind,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: they were showing pictures from his baby shower, and that's
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: not something that would have happened a couple of seasons ago.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: They would not have referenced him outside of the row.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: The breaking of the fourth wall is very interesting to me,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: but I think that the times that it does happen,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: I do, it does become more riveting to me. Like,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think a little bit about um, the
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: second season of Beverly Hills, which is, you know, one
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: of the hardest seasons to watch but also one of
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: the most dramatic. We're in Taylor Armstrong's but yes, which again,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: like this is another way that like Housewives like transcends
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: through culture. And then we say things that we didn't
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: even know come from Housewives, which I didn't know and
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: now we said it comes from the second season of
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Beverly Hills. Ala Camille Grammar, who used to be one
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: of my favorite housewives of all time until she had
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: such a very public um meltdown about how much she
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: loves Brent Kavanaugh. Um. But anyways, I was gonna say
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: when Taylor Armstrong is very corrupt and physically and emotionally
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: abusive husband commits suicide. It was like the breaking up
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: the fourth wall to them, Max, and you know, what
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: happens in that season is very unfortunate. Yet I remember
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: as a viewer being like, oh my god, and I
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: felt milarly with Denise's season. Um when Bravo, Bravo, Bravo, bravo,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: which if you don't know the context for that, there's
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: an iconic moment where Denise basically is like she's basically
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: over filming, and she says Bravo, Bravo, Bravo, as if
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: like saying bravo means that you are no, you can't,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: you can't use the footage anymore. Um. And apparently that
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: comes that originates from Lisa vander Pump who used to
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: do it in early seasons of Beverly Hills when she
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: was like in her makeup trailer and she wasn't ready
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: for camera. She'd be like, no, no, no, you can't
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: film yet. Bravo, Bravo, Bravo. UM. But Denise, who had
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: only been on the show for like two seasons, thinks
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: that she's good enough to use it when the girls
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: in actuality apparently never never break character like that. What
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: do you think of the breaking character of at all?
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Do you think they're playing characters or do you think
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: they're playing themselves or both? How I think that there
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: is a spectrum of it. There are some people who
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I absolutely believe cannot not be who they are, Like
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: someone like Teresa Jude Ice, who is you would look
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: at the things she does and you would think, like,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: this is this, This is like so crazy that no
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: one could make this up. And I really do believe
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: that she is just that kind of insane person. And
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: like she you know, she flipped the table in the
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: first season of Real Housewives of New Jersey, Like that's
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: just who she is. I'm sure as the years have
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: gone by she has learned that it is better for
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: her to give into her impulses because it makes good TV.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Like I think that becomes a slippery slope. So I
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: do think that. I'm sure there are some people who
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: come on the show, and it's usually I think the
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: you know, friends of or like New Housewives who like
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: only last season, who come on and think they can
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: do a bit, play a character, and it doesn't work
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: out because we like the Housewives who really are seemed
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: genuine in even if that's like in a bad way.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: But I would say that for the most part, everyone
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: is performing a heightened version of themselves, and like this
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: is something we've talked about, like in our own lives,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: like something that we do on a much smaller scale
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: on social media. These women are doing on a much
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: bigger scale on TV. And I think, like I think
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Ramona to me is the most crystal clear example of
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: someone who literally cannot be anything other than herself, Like
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: she is so horrible and says such flagrantly racist things
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: on camera. Um. Mary Cosby of Salt Lake is also
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: like that, where it's like this woman does not care
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: if the cameras are here or not. She's not performing
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: this is she is just an asshole. Honestly. I think
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Kim Richards is kind of that Kathy at Kathy Hilton
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: as well. I think they're they're very themselves, And I
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: think Kim is very kind of the opposite of Kyle,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: who is very aware of the cameras, very aware of
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: strategy how she appears on camera. Um, but Kyle is
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: very good at it. She's good at making herself feel human.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: And you know, the door and the girl next door.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Like she thinks of herself as the girl next door.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: She thinks she's like the beating heart of the show.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: I think she's kind of a boring cast member. But
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: she is boring, but I think that's part of I
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: think that's part of what works is she's always involved
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: in the drama, but she but not enough to the
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: point where she really burns bridges. The only time we
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: saw that was with her and Lisa vander Pump which
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: and look who won, Like Kyle was the one who
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: stayed on the show and Lisa left. Although you know
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: you can you can argue about whether or not that's winning,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Like maybe Lisa once she got to leave, she got
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: to be the one who left, like on her terms.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: I think Lisa really captured what it means to be
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: a great housewife. I think she has a lot of qualities.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: What do you think makes like a good housewife? Someone
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: who is aware that they're on television in both a
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: good way in a bad way, Like someone who knows
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: that they're on TV so they are amping things up,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: and also someone who knows they're on TV and so
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: they're not going to be like an absolute total fucking mess,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Like I want you to forget the cameras are there sometimes,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: but like for the most part, you know, you know
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: that they're they're like, um, lou Anne, Yes, lu Anetomy
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: is lou Antony is God to your housewife because so
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: much of what she does on camera is performative. She
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: is a meme of herself, but she doesn't let that
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: get in the way of being a mess. Like we've
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: seen Luanne fall down, We've seen two of her marriages
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: fall apart, We've seen her like go to prison, deal
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: with her drinking problems, Like she knows the value of
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: being a mess on TV, and she I think tries
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: to fix it all the time. And when she tries
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: to fix it, she makes it worse. And I and
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: and a lot of times, you know, when it's not
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: very dark, when it's like more in the funny periods,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: like it is like it's it's what makes her, it's
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: what makes housewives in general so fun most of the time,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: which is like camp in its purest form, camp that's
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: like not aware of itself. And Luanne has no idea
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: that when she says eggs a la France, like she
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: doesn't know that what she's saying is ridiculous, but she's
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: saying it for the camera, you know what I mean, Like, yeah,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: it's so And you know, in recent years, I think
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: she has been more aware of that. Like I think
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: her whole you know, Cabaret moment is her leaning into
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: the camp of it all and playing up the character.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: But you know, she's still she still has like the
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: the fact that she's a fucking nightmare to balance that
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: out every day of my life. I regret not seeing
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: the Countess in Friends Live. I I I know we
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: if it comes back, we need to think she's going
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: to come back. She'll come back with with Sonia, Sonia
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: doing a dance where her top accidentally falls off or whatever,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: because now she and Sonja are doing a spinoff show
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: that's like the simple that sounds insane but also is
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: a perfect show idea. We have to talk about the
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: fact that the best part of any Housewive season is
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: when they trip. It's the girls trip, and which is
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: why Ultimate Girls Trip the show was so good because
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: it combined that like vacation thing with also what we've
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: been talking about, like the breaking the fourth aspect and
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Housewives All Stars version yes, but there have been some
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: truly iconic trips, and obviously the best one ever Scary
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Scary Island, I mean debatable scary Island. Yeah, I think
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: it's scary Island. What do you think is better? I mean,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: oh god, there the Beverly Hills takes some really trip
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: the Berkshires. There's a lot of Berkshire's episodes, sure, but
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: but Kelly ben Simone versus Bethany Go to Sleep Like
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: Kelly ben Simone is someone who you absolutely know that
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: she is a total fucking psycho and does not even
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: realize that there are cameras really, like, I mean a
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: lot of them are really like a lot of the housewives,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: especially in New York Housewives like operate at like a
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: fourth grade reading level, Like they really really cannot Like
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Kelly really like does herself dirty over and over again
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: because like a lot of times. And something that's kind
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: of hard to watch about the show sometimes and specific
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: to Kelly is that she's so clearly doesn't know what's
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: going on sometimes, like she like is actually having such
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: a hard time following why she's mad about something or
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: justifying She has no idea how to debate, She has
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: no idea how to back in argument, like they just
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: have no idea. A lot of these housewives, like Kelly,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: have no idea how to navigate what should be extremely
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: simple moments of conflict resolution in human relationships. Um. And
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: because none of them are in therapy. Well, actually some
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: of the New York girls are in therapy um these days,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: because like therapy has you know, become a little more
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: mains mainstream quote unquote. But like in early seasons, like
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: no house in early seasons of the show, no housewives
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: are in therapy, and it makes them all really really messy. Um.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: I'd be curious to know actually what your thoughts, what
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: your thoughts are about Housewives when it started in the
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: golden seasons of New York, Beverly Hills and Atlanta, and
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: then what it feels like now. Yeah. I do think
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of its centers around the fact that they
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: weren't they weren't famous, and there wasn't the culture around
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Bravo yet where they were doing Watch what Happens Live
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: and they were like doing like spawn, and that there
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: was a whole culture and economy around Housewives. So it
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: was really all about the show itself and they were
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: not celebrities outside of it, and so the drama was
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: very much focused on what happened on the show. And
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: now I think the drama plays out in so many
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: different ways, Like these girls are fighting on social media,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: they're like going to prison, they're like, you know, in
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: huge legal battles like Erica Jayne or like gen Shaw.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: They're getting like magazine covers, or you know, like they're
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: they're having successes that like are in the real world.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: It does kind of feel like Housewives is like the
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: reality show version of the m c U. And like
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: at the beginning, there were a couple independent movies that
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: people liked watching, and now it is a sprawling multiverse
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: that has become this cultural monolith, and that is like
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: it is. It is like actually impossible to not engage
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: with at least some of it. And honestly, like on
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: the topic of like then and now that some the
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: part of this multiverse that I'm really not pleased with
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: and yet I cannot stop talking about because it is
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: very interesting to me is the way that for the
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: first time in Housewives history, they're all talking about racism,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Because the show, every single
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: franchise has been almost agnostic of like any sort of
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: discussion of like race or like justice or like you know,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: like there, it's very antithetical to woke culture. And you
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: can tell that the producers produce around politics and produce
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: around the fact that they're all Republicans, right, and and
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: and cast around them because for a very long time,
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: the different franchises were exactly exactly And now they're realizing
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: that diversity is a thing, um, and they're casting diversely,
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: and that of course means that these women are going
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: to have conversations about it. I honestly think it started
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: with UM Carol's Seasons of New York, which took which
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: were you know, the Trump election era, UM, the era
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: where luanded blackface and also some offensive things about indigenous
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: people in this country and then that all and then
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: that went into like diverse casting. Then it went into
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: you know, the twenties that were in now UM. And
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: it's really hard to watch these women have these conversations
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: because the majority of them have no freaking idea what
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: they're talking about. And I don't really want to hear
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: them talk about it because a lot of them are
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: like disseminating misinformation. Yeah, and like I mean, there's like
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: a there's a problematic part of this in that a
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: lot a lot of what is so great about Housewives
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: is the escapism of it, and so I feel bad
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: when when one of those moments happens. I'm like, oh, like,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: this is not what I want out of the show,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Like I don't want to see what's happening in the
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: real world being reflected here. But like, I guess it
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: should be like these women have so much insane privilege
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: and that you know that should be um disrupted, Um,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: they should have to reckon with it. But it's it's
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: like not, it's never going to be a real house
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: live show. Is not the right circumstances to get a
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: psychopath like Ramona Singer to reckon with the fact that
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: she's racist. And I still don't understand why Ramona has
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: a job like to this day, like women have been
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: fired for things that are way worse than what Ramona
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: does on an episode by episode basis something I'll also
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: say that's really ugly about how these women handle conversations
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: like this is now they're figuring out how much they
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: can weaponize social media or weaponize woke culture to prove
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: points or to get what they want. I'm waiting into
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: very murky territories here. So Jen Shaw, is this really
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: really horrible cast member of Salt Lake City, a franchise
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: you don't watch yet. All you need to know is
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: that she is like Ramona level horrible destructive. I know,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: I know who she is. I watched I watched half
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: of the first season. Okay, she's a bad person. She's
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: a bad person to a lot of people and to
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: everyone in her life. And now she has had a
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: huge legal battle that everyone knows about, where she's basically embezzled,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: you know, a billion dollars from like disabled people, old people,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: just like m vulnerable vulnerable classes of people, and so
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: on the reunion of the most recent season, she went
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: out of her way so many times to say, and
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: I shoot you not. This is not an exaggeration. She
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: was like, if you don't believe me, you don't support
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: women of color. That's literally what this woman is is saying.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: And she like, it's it's actually that rudimentary and baseline
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: stupid um. She is like flattening like what it means
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: to be a brown person in this country to her
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: advantage to like circumnavigate responsibility around something really horrible that
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: she did that she is not copying to and like,
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: you know, everything that happened to her family in the
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: wake of all this, every that happened to her kids
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: and her husband, like that I'm taking out of this,
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Like that is horrible and no one should ever go
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: through it. But like to just say, point blank, like
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: support me because I'm a brown person, like come on.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: And then Jenny also in this season, did a version
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: of the same thing, and it's just like I I
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: actually like don't want to hear these women use the
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: word gaslighting anymore, which you haven't watched the most recent
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: of Beverly Hills. But Kyle tries to use the word
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: gaslighting at least three different times, and each time she
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: used it and probably has no idea it has no idea,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: and she but she knows the cultural power of a
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: word like gaslighting and how it transcends on Twitter, and
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: so she's able to say it knowing that there will
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: be people who will support her or jen Sha or
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: whoever blindly because they've been you know, conditioned to support
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: people that support woke culture. So to speed, it's crazy.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: If you were a housewife, what would your tagline be
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's childhood trauma, it's
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: it's it's work, it's work being workshops. What about you.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: I may not be a real woman, but I am
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: a real housewife. No, no, no, no, no no no,
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: I do think. I do think. The all time best
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: one is Bethany saying I may not be a housewife,
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: but I am real. Like, that's so good. Bethany is
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: so good at doing this specific thing, and I hope
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: that she comes back. Although have you have you been
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: fed her on tickto God? I have the algorithm has
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: not finished me in that way. Every every time she
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: comes up, it's like a scare because she, I guess,
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: is like trying to be a beauty TikToker, and so
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: it's always her really close to the screen putting on
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: I makeup, and it's really frightening. I mean, I love Bethany,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: but yeah, no, she really cannot use social media to
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: save her life, not properly. I love Bethany too, but
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: I love her on Housewives all the other things she's
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: tried to do. You know, be strong is great. I'm like,
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: you know what, that's great. She's a humanitarian whatever. But
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: like that Hrio Max show she did was kind of dumb.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: Her podcast. I listened to one episode of it. I
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: was like, Nope, I say, I like her very specifically
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: in the context of housewives, and that's where I want,
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: know what, And I do hope that that is actually
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: true for me for every housewife. To this day, I
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: do not follow a single real housewife on Instagram, not one. Oh.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: I follow a couple of them, but it is very specific.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: I do not give out a housewives follow unless I'm
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: truly committed. I think the only housewives I currently follow
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: our lou Ann and Sonja. I used to follow Sonja,
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: but but I unfollowed. Yeah, I just I only want
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: them in the show. Also, just side no um that
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: that housewive tagline, I may not be a housewife? Was
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: that the season where there was a season of New
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: York where every single cast member either was not a
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: wife or didn't have a house because remember like Tinsley
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: like was homeless for a while, and then well that's
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: the thing. That's the thing with New York especially is
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: that all of them are poor. Now, yes, that's why
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: this most recent season of New York was such a
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: flop and it's like you're gonna go to the Turkish
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: baths them. It's all fake, like they're all they all
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: have like judgments against them and they're not good at
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: stoking conflict anymore. And then they put in Ebony k
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: Willie Ms, who is trying to ground them all in
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: a reality but just it just didn't work. And I'm
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm just I'm glad that New York is being
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: rebooted a little. It'll be interesting to see how that happens,
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: because I don't I don't know if you kind of
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: like read in depth the interview with Andy Cohen about
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: what they're doing for the virgins, what what for the virgins?
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: They are doing I think two new versions of House
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: Lives of New York, which is one will be rebooted
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: with a different cast and then one will be kind
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: of like a spinoff with the the Legacy stars. And
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe that's the Sonja and Luanne show,
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's the spot that that's filling, or maybe there
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: will be another thing. It's a really good solved. I mean,
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: you have probably said, like if not to me on
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: this show, like fire all of them, like you really
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: wanted them all gone. Yeah, I want them all gone.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: I want to start from scratch, Start from scratch. Are
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: you watching any of the new franchises? Have you watched
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Dubai It? No, I want to watch Dubai I love
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: Salt Lake City slash Salt Lake City honestly came very
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: close to dethroning Beverly Hills as my favorite franchise. It
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: was that good and remains that good. But I think
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: it needs a little more time before it becomes that iconic.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: You know, um, what about you? I I haven't watched
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: any of the newer ones. You know, Potomac seems like
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: the big, the biggest like blind spot for me because
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: I really have tried, and I just can't find someone
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: in it to latch onto to make me feel invested.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: And I've tried like the different ways people told me, like, oh,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: skip the first season, skip the second season, But every
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: time I've tried it just like haven't found the right
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: entry point. So I say start with season five. And
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: the thing with Housewives is I already watched way too
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: much Housewives. I really don't need to watch more Housewives.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: But you know, the next time I'm home in Florida
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: and I'm at my mom's house and there's a marathon
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: on TV, I absolutely will just tune in. And that's
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: the great thing about housewives is you can just plug
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: in at really any moment and there will always be
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: a recap. You will always get immediately like what's going on?
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Who hates who? And that is beautiful. Nicki Minaje mediating
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: the Potomic reunion was so amazing and it exceeded expectations.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: It was so lack of doodle, like not what I
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: expected to happen. Um, but damn, they really committed to
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: that and she was so good. I think, you know,
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: if I were to give prescriptions for Potomac or honestly
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: just all the franchises that I watch, obviously you need
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: to watch all of Salt Lake City, and I think
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: it's really easy to get into it, um for any
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: virgin to Salt Lake starting from episode one. With Potomac,
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: I think from episode five, and then watch the current,
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: which I think is only three seasons total. Um. That is,
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: when there's a fight that happens between Monique and Candice,
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: that sets a whole new wave of drama and motion,
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: and I think establishes the relationships between all the characters
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: very easily. Um, New York, I think it's watched the
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: first four, then I think I don't know, and then
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: you get into Sonya. I think Sonia has like season five,
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: or say, but I think you skipped the seasons with Heather. Yes,
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: you only watch New York when Bethany's on it. That's
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: really what it is. Yes, that is what it is. Um,
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: but don't watch the Bethany Carroll season that has the
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: Trump election, because that one is the worst most triggering
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: episode of TV I have ever watched, is when they're
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: waiting for the results of the two six election. I
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: don't ever want to see it or think about it again. No,
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: it was fucked up. You know, I will say the
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: woman with the wooden leg that was not a Bethany season.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah. The only thing fake about me
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: is this a Viva dresser, her wooden leg a viva
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: But really, like I mean to be full circle about this, Like,
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: I do think that the first couple of seasons of
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: Beverly Hills are some of the best reality TV housewives period. Also,
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: the first couple of seasons of Atlanta are incredible. But
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: you know what, Like, I'm not going to say if
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: you are not a person who watches Housewives again, like,
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: I do not want to give you this disease that
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: we have, but I hope that at least if you
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: have decided to contract it, that these recommendations may help
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: you do it in a safe way. This is harm reduction.
• 59:59
