What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another exciting episode of the Valfaul's Reality
Recap Edition. I'm your host, Nick Join, by the household, my lovely wife,
my magical wife.
Okay, sure, magical wife, magical. Guys, we went out last night, the SAG Awards.
The Actors Awards. The Actors Awards. Yeah, presented by SAG After.
Yeah, they changed the name this year. When Netflix, well, when Netflix officially took it,
I think they transitioned to the Actors Awards, because I think a lot of people don't know,
like union names as well, and don't know what SAG is. So, actor awards makes more sense.
We are invited because we are part of the Netflix family.
And it was so funny, because we pull up and we did not attend the awards.
We had to put our daughter asleep, unfortunately. We were also not invited.
We were also not invited.
But so we called an Uber, went to this event, and they pull up to the thing.
And I've never been a part of this before, but the guy rolls down the window,
or the woman rolls down the window, and the security guards come up to her, and they're like,
are you chauffeur? She's like, no, I'm Uber, and I'm just dropping them off.
And they're like, okay, we'll have the dog search your car.
I'm sorry. Never in my life have I seen that.
To the further, like, the golden globes, or the Oscars, or the parties,
like, I mean, with the high profile people that attend,
excluding us. They search.
They search. They search in vehicles, you know, the mirrors, and the cars, and the dogs.
So they were like, do you have your past? So Nick showed them the past that we have.
It says, like, chauffeur parking pass, or whatever.
They're like, so are you talent? And we're like, yeah.
And they're like, but you're in an Uber, and we're like, yeah,
like, sorry, that's just confusing.
We're car.
We upgraded.
I don't know, because, like, Polly isn't driving us.
Which one's more unrealistic that I counterfeit this past directly,
or that I just took an Uber, but I didn't come from the event.
And like, and then I kept wanting to, like, he's like, so you're
talent. And I'm like, Nick and I are like, yeah, we are March 11th.
Just pull up the trailer.
Just pull up the trailer.
We're like, our Netflix talent.
Do you see this?
Yeah, we are just one day more than a week away.
That's a weird way of saying one day more than a week away.
March 11th, age of attraction releases on Netflix.
I'm so excited.
So we are Netflix talent.
So we did go to the after party.
And we did run into, if y'all remember a few episodes ago,
we talked about maybe there's a name.
Was it last week?
I think it was last week.
It was last week.
Last week we talked about there's maybe an actor's name that we were like
wanting to potentially use as inspo for one of our daughter's names.
And this is an actor.
Because, uh, actor with what?
Well, I'm just saying it could be a man.
It could be a woman.
Oh, yes, gender neutral.
You know, when you love a general, when we love a general neutral,
a general neutral, a general neutral.
A general neutral.
Can't talk, apparently, river is more of a boy's name than a girl's name.
That's who.
We don't care.
Interesting.
Yeah, that's who.
Anyway, so yeah, anyway, so we ran into said actor.
And I was like, no, but first, I mean, we were at, we were at this party.
We ran into a few people we don't know.
But this is a lot of like us and Natalie standing at a table.
Like ran into is crazy, seeing out of like,
seeing at the next table over, K Hudson, not running into.
But seeing her, being in the same room as her,
yeah, it's a lot of Natalie.
I was standing at a table, you know, having a conversation with each other.
I mean, like, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Yeah.
Oh, my god, I'm so too quick.
There's Michael be Jordan.
There's Michael be Jordan.
But I was like, Natalie, that's them that they're, that they're, they're, they're
right there.
Like we could ask them, but they were talking to a lot of people.
They were like in the back of, they were seated in a, in a couch,
like this, like facing the party surrounded by people.
So it wasn't like a we could go up, tap a shoulder,
you know, like approachable.
We don't want to do the whole thing
when they're eating, you know, sorry,
for extra interrupting your meal.
So we're like, we'll just wait till maybe
they'll hit the dance floor, they'll need a drink, you know,
but we had this, we were gonna deem them, you know,
we're like, this is so much better of a story.
And then Natalie told me, my brusting.
And I was like, I need a mint.
And then I was like, oh my God, I'm getting lightheaded.
I need to sit down.
So then I'm next like, there's couch.
Let's go sit down on the couch.
And then I said, reserve for Jason Bateman.
And I was like, well, it was surrounded
by security guards like we're moving.
Okay.
So I was like, I don't know, I don't need to be the like woman
who's like, I'm pregnant.
I'm gonna sit in Jason Bateman's couch
and like wait for him to get here.
I would support it.
Then we did venture to the bathroom
where I said, you know what, there is a safe seat
in the bathroom and it is sitting on the toilet.
So I'm gonna go and I'm gonna sit down
on the bathroom to rest my feet for a moment.
And so we did that.
And when we come out next like,
they're right there.
They're right there.
Literally, fate of like-
Just us.
Was about to leave,
grabbing a pop-up bagels to go order of dessert, whatever.
And I was like, this is my moment.
I have to ask.
And so I did.
And we got the blessing.
Oh my God.
We got the blessing.
And so our poor other twin is gonna be like,
what?
What about me?
That's the thing, we don't, I don't, you know.
How do you feel about Lindsey Lohan?
And now I'm approachable.
Is Ms. Liz.
Wait, guys, all you have to do is just go to another one
of these events.
Yeah.
And just check the guest list before.
So you feel like any Lenin.
Mandy Moore?
Mandy Moore's Q.
Mandy Moore's Q.
Maybe Ryan Murphy?
Have y'all seen the trend of like names
that are other things but would be beautiful
as like children?
Just like Viagra.
Climidia?
Yes.
Climidia.
Beautiful.
Rolls off the tongue.
Rolls off the tongue.
Where is that Italian?
What is that?
Just feel like once you know the definition,
just in no matter how beautiful an accent it could be.
Climidia, think about, remove what it is and think
Climidia.
Phenetically, it's a beautiful name.
Say what your eyes close.
Yeah.
Climidia.
What about Ghanaia?
Ghanaia.
You would be so surprised, my mom works in schools
and these names are names of kids that she's met.
Yeah.
Like there's a lot of names that parents will just think
they sound pretty or a little read it on paper
and think it's pretty.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
That's very common.
Speaking of Ryan Murphy.
Has anybody watched Love Story?
No.
No.
But I need to.
I started watching it this weekend and I just feel like
I've experienced such an epic failure having waited so long
to start this as it came out last month, right before Valentine's
Day.
The way that this show is shot is like it feels like it's a show
straight out of the 90s.
It's giving sex in the city.
It's giving romance.
It's giving New York.
It's giving longing.
The man who plays John F. Kennedy Jr.
Sooon.
Carolyn Bassett character.
She's phenomenal.
I want long hair.
I want to flip it over on a constant.
I even want to start smoking again.
But yeah.
We smoking, having to come back and I make so sad.
I know.
But continue.
Sorry.
It just looks so cool.
Kids are falling for it.
They're falling for it.
They are.
I did it the first go around.
We're not drinking anymore.
No, they're doing both.
Sorry.
We're doing both.
We're doing both.
There was like I bought some kids beer the other day.
I got pack of reds in my back pocket.
No, you guys.
Sorry.
I'm a pastor's daughter.
Cut all that.
Maybe.
But yeah.
No, I didn't watch it for a while because obviously it was a
Ryan Murphy's an executive producer and I kind of have a weird
relationship with his biopics.
I feel like he takes a lot of liberties.
You were worried that he was going to have the two leads make
out with their siblings.
I was like 100% like I was just like I didn't know where we were
going in the sense of like if we're going to do an accurate telling
but it's based off of a book series and the creators and writers.
He's just an executive producer but like I would slap my name on
that too because this project is phenomenal and I just I highly
recommend it.
Well, he needs something good.
I currently have beef with Ryan Murphy.
Oh, personal beef.
What's your beef?
Personal beef.
Here's what happens.
So Ryan Murphy obviously doing the next season of American horror
story.
It's going to be a return to cup.
Right?
I'm excited.
I'm excited.
Which is huge.
However, John Waters who I do have if you are on video on my
desk right here, love that man is going to be in it.
And here is what I just would like to say.
Instead of giving Ryan Murphy a budget to do all of his stuff
that's maybe sometimes good, give them money to John Waters
so he can make a weird movie with Aubrey Plaza.
That's all I have to say.
All right.
I like it.
That is very personal.
I know.
That is very versatile.
But I just needed to say that.
If you know, you know.
And I don't.
Well, we have a great episode lined up for you all today.
We have stand up comedian Heather Shaw joining us.
She is absolutely hilarious.
And a big love is blind traders and Beverly Hills fans.
So she's watching it all.
So she is with us to help break down a lot of the TV that we
watched over the weekend and a lot to talk about with
my favorite line of the weekend.
Which was.
I'm going to have a beautiful house in Florida.
A potential trust in Dubai.
Of course.
And a safe house in New Zealand.
And the wife and kids might not be here.
But I will have one of those.
No, he does.
Ashley's great.
But in five years, I see myself with a better wife.
Literally.
He didn't say better.
But he was like.
Probably.
Yeah.
Probably Brunette.
It was a dry, dark feature.
My favorite tweet I saw about was about Alex being like.
That's an incredibly smart way to say you're unemployed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Every time you talk.
But he said it was such confidence.
He says everything was such confidence.
And I don't believe a word of it.
He's got three drop-off versus different states.
He talks like a 17 year old.
Like that's how I, you know, in 17, you're like, you know,
you know, in five years, I'm going to drive a BMW.
But why does he need a safe house?
Also, I thought about this because like.
Because the world goes to shit.
Yeah.
That's what I assume he means.
And, you know, every once in a while is a family man that I am now.
And, you know, kids, I, in the state of the world sometimes gets a little scary for sure,
even though I try not to be a doomsday type of person.
But I always think to myself, what if.
Would you go bunker?
Would you go panic room?
Oh, boy.
Well, I'd go layhouse.
I'd go claustrophobic.
It's, it's, it's.
But I thought, you know, like the layhouse would probably, we would make our last stand at the layhouse.
It's, it's, it's.
Well, you could like trap someone on the lay.
You know what I mean?
But I'll, but my, but every time I thought about this, I'm like, man, that layhouse is.
It's kind of far away.
That is true.
You know, like what happens?
I don't know when I, I don't know when I'm going to need said, we got to go to the place,
you know, the safe house.
You're the place that people find in like season four that's been like untouched.
But how is Alex getting to New Zealand?
Yeah.
Is that kind of far away for a place?
Right.
If doomsday is happening, like, what are you going to board a flight and head on out?
Hey, things are getting really bad.
Let me catch a flight.
You know, you're going to pick the longest for hours.
Then he's got to go to Dubai.
Well, here's the thing.
He has a lot of his ex girlfriends all over.
So they'll let him know early.
Or current girlfriends.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They'll let him know early and then he can get to the bunker.
Maybe two in the same month.
Well, Heather Shaw is with us and she will join us momentarily to get into it all.
Also, don't forget, we are, our merch drop is going fast.
Supplies are limited.
It's almost gone.
So if you want to get your household sweatshirt, which is my, my new favorite sweatshirt, or
the house, your heart sweatshirt, which is also pretty good.
There's two, there's two versions of that.
Pretty cool.
Get them now.
Again, I don't, I don't know how long they're going to last.
So by the time you hear it, it might be gone.
I don't know.
But if you still haven't checked it out, go to valve.com for your merch needs.
Also, don't forget, valve house plus is ad free.
We love that.
It's ad free.
We love your favorite valve house episodes.
You can listen to without any interruption.
We have our reality recap, deep dyes where we deep dive your favorite episodes.
Obviously, we would really get into the love is blind that evolved because we can't possibly cover every
granular detail of the two episodes that we watched.
Justin really wants to talk about Toy Story 5.
So that's you're going to see that in there.
Yeah, he talked about that.
Yeah.
Yeah, we talked about Valley person style too.
Yeah, a little bit.
We get it.
We get it all.
So I check it out.
I'll see your pop extra episodes where we talk about all your favorite pop culture topics
like us being at the actors awards.
Did you see that La Roche confirmed the red carpet that Tom Holland and Zendaya are marrying?
I'm obsessed.
Allegedly.
I love Roche.
I mean, it's going from La Roche.
I love Roche.
I love Roche.
I love Roche.
I was a bit.
Yeah.
But not a rumor.
Yeah.
But like how chic of Zendaya to be like, I know.
Guys, I don't need to make an announcement.
I don't need to post.
I'm like, sure.
Law.
If you're on a red carpet, feel free to let us know.
There's something so perfect about the way that he was just like, you missed it.
Yeah.
Just like, do better at your jobs, guys.
Take it embarrassing.
Like, oh, you're still waiting.
Oh, really?
Already married.
Well, she already did.
Yeah.
Honestly, though, not a single paparazzi or anything of like a tent from above.
Right.
You know, it was so chic too.
I saw a photo.
Maybe it was.
You did.
I mean, it's your photo.
Of their wedding?
Yeah.
Like they met the old.
What?
You did.
I feel like we talked about AI.
I was like, there's also a movie that she sent where she's getting married.
Oh, to Robert Pattinson.
A Robert Pattinson.
Yeah.
That's a movie.
No.
Was it Robert Pattinson?
Well, Robert Pattinson.
And again, I didn't spend a lot of time analyzing it.
It probably was fake.
But I did.
I did see it.
Was it grainy?
Yeah.
Did it look like Big Thug?
I don't know.
Did you guys.
There.
There.
There.
There.
There.
I feel like it's AI.
They're the best.
Let me see.
Well, there's a bunch.
And some of them.
They're in different countries.
Yeah.
No.
This is none of those of them.
Oh, that's the one I saw.
To talk on that, though, for a second.
Oh, my God.
Real Housewives of Orange County.
Gina.
Gina.
I just saw a post this morning that she was talking about because I guess on Facebook, people use
Facebook AI.
And they make these like completely fake stories.
I don't even know how this.
They're illegal.
But they put out there that like Gina announced her pregnancy.
And she was like, it's absolutely 100% false.
And they did that with Shannon Bedor recently.
Her boyfriend.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
They changed a photo that she's in with Vicki.
Put a man next to her and her like flashing up an engagement ring.
And it's not even a photo that actually exists.
Yeah.
No, it's, I mean, I am still an avid Facebook user.
I do like to keep up with.
It's the most bizarre thing about you.
I have to say.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love Facebook.
I'm getting logged on to my Facebook.
And the last people I'm trying to keep up with, it's the thing.
It's the thing on Facebook.
Okay.
Sometimes I it's like it's I cut out TikTok a while ago.
Like Facebook is.
It would probably have asked me to log.
Do your hardrope out.
Because honestly, that's like a whole world.
I left behind.
No, it's like, oh my god.
There.
Park that.
And I love that a lot of them are still like interacting on Facebook just like they did before.
Because like right.
Most generations don't, you know, I want to bring back Facebook album.
Facebook albums.
Like, when I go on a trip and you have like 75 to a hundred photos, and I literally want
somebody to create an app, maybe I'll do it, where you literally just have like albums.
It seems so high-risk.
Like, you do a little face-tune and then you post the whole album and it's like, wait,
that one was in there.
I was like, the Facebook albums used to terrify me because if you get tagged in like
five of them and you're scrolling through and you know one of them, it's like, I'm
like in the background and I'm just like, oh, and that's going to live there forever?
Nobody safe.
My favorite thing about Facebook albums is like, because I never had Facebook, I can never
use it, but my siblings did.
And so there's kind of like random parts of my like really special moments of my entire
childhood that's just like in shitty Facebook albums on a digital camera from 2006 when
my sister was in high school.
Yes.
And it's like the sweetest thing in the whole world.
It feels so warm.
I also would love to be poked.
You know, like, I just want to go in a poke war with someone.
Yeah, bring that poking.
Bring that.
I know.
I never Facebook mobile, but like, I'm aware of what poking is, but I didn't really know
what it was.
I was like, it was like a one-on-one flirt.
Yeah.
I've never heard of it.
Is the new, what is the new version of poking?
Is it liking it?
Like an insertory?
Like an insertory?
Like an insertory is the new poking.
Yeah.
Definitely like an insertory.
But also, like, my flirting every time I like a thing.
No.
No, you're not flirting every time you like a story, but you're flirting sometimes when
you like a story.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's true.
Yeah.
I think I'm going to see what we're going to say.
I was just like, really thinking through this.
I'm like, I really want them to bring back.
I know we have Facebook mobile, like, on our phone, but it's truly Facebook in every
sense.
But I'm like, can they bring that Facebook mobile that's just like, it's just like lots
of photo albums, poking, maybe stories, and like, and like status updates.
Like, I just kind of want that, but I don't want everything else that comes.
I don't want marketplace.
I don't want it.
I love marketplace.
I love marketplace too.
I love marketplace too.
I love marketplace too.
Me too.
Yeah.
But separately, I'm like, I feel like Facebook needs social.
I feel like social.
Yeah, like bring back the bring back like Facebook social.
I kind of want to be prompted.
I remember like, remember when Facebook first started, it's like Sierra is and it's like
Curly.
Yeah.
On AIM, find me.
You'd be like, I like for a TBA.
I'm in the market for a flip phone.
Me too.
You're trying to go off the grid.
I think so.
At the lake house off the grid with a flip phone.
I see that for you.
I truly believe that our phones are in the internet is just like us tapped into the
matrix.
But I bring up Facebook because that happens all the time.
Like I will be scrolling.
I'm looking at, you know, my kids I grew up with in the neighborhood, what they're up
to these days.
And then it'll be like, oh, Jason Tartick and his girlfriend Catherine are expecting
their third baby.
And it like shows a picture with and I'm you're like, oh my god, wow, it's crazy.
And then it reminded me of when Chambliss texted us the picture that AI made of us.
Oh, yeah.
And it is so who is your husband?
Who are you?
Oh my gosh.
Like, it's not, it's none of our faces.
Oh, wow.
Like, oh, wow, that's crazy.
It's so scary.
It's a like guy with a beard.
And he's wearing, I mean, they kept her clothes.
That's wild.
It's crazy because it's, it is your name.
Like, you know what I mean?
It's not even like they're like, oh, couple in other country experiences, they're like,
no, it's Nicki Minaj.
Like they couldn't even use our, like our faces.
It's like, who is she?
Yeah.
But there's like elements that kind of, it's weird.
It's almost like, you got a better, she's more attractive than him.
That just like is not you.
Like I've seen that man before and he's not.
I know.
Yeah.
He's like every other.
No, he is attractive.
Yeah.
I feel like they had so many options of photos they could have used for us.
Yeah.
But I guess.
I don't know.
Anyways, I want to flip.
I do too for sleeping in my bedroom without, like, what is it?
Radiation.
I'm just pretty, I'm pretty, I'm, I'm pretty decent about, like, limiting myself on my,
on the internet.
But like, I'm as addicted as the next person.
So you're down to go back to T9 texting.
I just, you know, no, my favorite era of the internet was Blackberry, just a little bit
of internet access.
Right.
You could play, you could play like mail.
I definitely, I definitely need an navigation system because I've, you know, it's not my
hometown.
I don't know.
Even L.A.
I've been here for 12 years.
It's like, where?
Let's read.
So I don't, I'm not trying to be off the fucking grid.
I just like don't need unlimited access to just garbage.
Yeah.
Do they still make Blackberries and if so, are they like updated to compete with iPhones?
I don't think Blackberry, I don't think what's the company that made Blackberry.
Blackberry.
No.
Motorola.
No.
Motorola.
And I don't need to spread misinformation, but I did see an article that said dementia rates
are rising between people in, like, late 30s through their 40s.
Like early, as a dementia, or Alzheimer's, see this where I'm like, I don't know the details,
but they're attributing it to social media and I'm like, it makes so much sense when
you think about it.
Like, test scores are, I mean, everyone's dumber.
People refuse to read.
It nothing frustrates me fucking more than I read somebody's caption and it gives all
the information.
And then I see the comments that are like, what is this from?
Where is this?
And it's like, for fuck's sake, it's a paragraph.
Read.
Okay.
I actually found weaker social ties are linked to an increased dementia risk and they're
calling it like digital dementia, because people are like interacting with technology,
right?
We're not trading your brain to like, you know, consume content over a period of time,
be analytical about it.
Everyone's like arguing with their friends and it's always like, you just, you just watch
the fucking TikTok, you know?
Yeah.
I definitely feel lighter having had not had TikTok for a few months.
Like, I definitely am like, wow, this feels like, I feel, yeah.
But yeah, I don't, I'm not trying to go off the grid, but I definitely, like, my current
setup, our current setup, I just don't think is the best approach, you know, just like
having, like, I just think you have to create guardrails.
I also think the future is, I think we're going to have a renaissance, like, people need
to like, you know, group parties, you know, neighborhood parties, like, you know, people
need to get out.
It's because they make going outside cool again.
Well, I think it is.
So a really funny thing happened to me this weekend on Saturday where a UPS truck crashed
into a fire hydrant on my own stories.
Yeah.
And there was like this huge guy.
I was okay, right?
Oh, yeah.
Everyone's fine.
It was just, yeah.
A bunch of fire trucks came.
It was awesome.
No, honestly, it was kind of awesome.
Everyone was fine.
It was super hot outside.
Like, everyone from the neighborhood came out to like, giggle and watch it and watch like
all the fire trucks come.
And it was like, everyone was taking videos and just like, grabbing a chitchatting.
And honestly, it was like me and my neighbors were like, laughing with each other about
it, being like, what the hell is this?
Because the UPS driver ran away.
And it was just like the most like in my, I don't know, have you guys ever ran away?
Yeah.
We think he did call the fire.
He just drove away.
He just drove away.
No, have cameras on it.
It was a UPS truck.
I mean, that's, I don't care.
Like, he ran away on foot or no, like he drove away.
And there was just this guy.
Anyway, it's fine.
Like, it got fixed.
It's okay.
Like, everyone's fine.
It was fun.
But you were like, wow.
It was the first time I've been outside with all of my neighbors.
It was just like, honestly, it felt like, have you guys seen like the beginning of
do the right thing, the Spike Lee movie, where it's just like hot and there's this like
community.
And they're all outside.
Yeah.
And it just like, it felt like my childhood in a way.
And it was just really sweet.
That sense of community in like neighborhoods is something that I feel like has gotten so
lost.
Yeah.
And it just felt really nice to just interact with my neighbors in that way over like a shared
communal thing.
No, no.
Yeah.
It reminds me of when we lost power.
And we were like, it was like, the sun was going down like it was about to get really dark
in our house.
And like our block had lost power.
This is over the summer.
Yeah.
Over the summer.
And so we were outside.
And everyone was kind of, yeah, just kind of like coming to our driveway to like talk
about the power outage and be like, oh, and do you have this and do you have that?
And we got some lanterns.
If you want lanterns, then it was like, oh, in our kit.
If you want a babysitter, we get we are my 14 year old is taking babysitting glasses.
And it was like, wow, look at us, everyone.
That's so cute.
This is so cute.
Just like nice and sweet.
And talk to your neighbors, guys.
Talk to your neighbors.
Good night.
Good night.
All right.

Heather, welcome to show.
Hey, queer.
How are you doing?
We're doing well.
Incredible.
Incredible.
Elliot.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
I'm excited to be here, man.
Vio files.
The only good files left.
I'm doing good.
How are you guys doing?
We are watching a ton of TV.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hang it out, you know.
Great.
What were your first thoughts of trader finale?
I don't know.
Of course, it's the Hawkeye.
Yeah.
I mean, I loved it though.
I mean, we knew it was Rob,
but I loved that the guy that was wrangling snakes
turned out to be a snake.
That was good.
I think the entire cat.
Can we swear on here?
Can I say, uh, dick?
No, dick, yeah, for sure.
I mean, you have one.
It'd be weird if, yeah.
I think that the entire cast and crew
was dick-matized by Rob.
Yeah, yeah.
Fairly.
I mean, he's a good looking guy.
They were dick-matized by that guy.
He could do anything.
I think pretty privileged is the greatest privilege.
Rob definitely had it.
Truly.
For sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, it turns out like if I kill myself for Rob,
he might love me.
And honestly, worth it.
It's worth it.
Worth it, yeah.
The way I was screaming at the television,
thinking that Mora was going to figure it out,
that she was like, she's so close.
So close, and she's like, it just, it can't be Rob.
I'm like, why?
Why can't it be Rob?
Yeah.
Yeah, she made it seem like it was
the most impossible thing.
It was so possible.
Yeah, that was crazy.
I just love it.
He's a pretty man.
And then the switchup of Eric,
her packed with Tara,
being like, we're going to vote out Eric.
And then she still didn't vote out.
Eric, it's like, oh my god, frustrating.
But you know, it was, he was a great person.
I think even Alan Cumming liked him.
Yeah, in the name of the game.
Everyone wanted his ass.
It was great.
Oh, Heather, I have a question.
As a, as a drag race fan,
which Alan Cumming outfit was your favorite?
Oh my god, girl, don't ask me that.
They were all beautiful.
I like the banquet.
I just like him in the banquet as is.
What it was insane.
He just got to be so dramatic.
He was a dramatic gay,
living his best life,
being like, it was you, Gam Jam.
You know, I mean, that was the best.
It was gorgeous.
But yeah, I mean, he got to,
he got to be super dramatic.
I love it.
Did you also watch the reunion?
I didn't watch the reunion.
You didn't miss much.
I didn't feel like it.
I thought it was great.
What's going on there?
Everyone says it's a waste.
Yeah, it was, it was mostly Candace
and Lisa trying to make a thing
of Rob winning it by himself, you know,
and it was like trying to force Rob to own it,
which was like, what do you mean own?
It's like, he won.
I thought it was, I like the reunion.
My, well, the one part of the reunion I really love was.
Andy's overalls.
Andy's overalls were great.
No, it was Porsche.
They were not.
It was Porsche talking to Mama Kelsey
and saying, thank you, Mama.
Mama, Mama.
She was like,
you're wrong and it was awesome.
That's so funny.
I love that Ron Funches, when he going in,
he didn't know how dumb Porsche is.
I love Porsche, but, you know,
she thought the Underground Railroad had trains.
Yeah, so he didn't understand that like what she's saying
could maybe just be not the truth.
It's just her being kind of silly.
You know, she's a little dumb.
It's fun.
I love Porsche.
She's beautiful.
We don't have to be smart.
Speaking of Porsche,
did you watch the trailer for new Atlanta housewives?
Yes.
Yes.
And she's dipping her toes.
I'm ready.
She's dipping her little toes until...
Yes, girl, getting that lesbian water.
Oh, yeah.
Just drinking it up.
And she's just like trying to change it up.
I love, she's got a stud.
She does have a suit.
I'm all about it.
I think it's fun.
I think it's great.
Also on the reunion I saw,
I did see clips of Michael Rappaport.
Like, what's the vibe?
Is everyone really hate him?
I don't know.
I know he's kind of...
I think from the cast.
He's kind of fun.
I'm a fan.
We've had him on the show.
He's kind of funny.
Yeah, I mean, he's a self-pull claims shit starter.
He, like, he...
Yeah, I think he's...
He's good for 10 minutes and then get him out of there
is how I feel.
Yeah, they were clearly annoyed by him.
Yeah, I don't think anyone on the cast is...
Yeah, I don't think he's...
Yeah.
Why don't think he, like, came in with open arms...
He wasn't there to make friends.
Nobody rides harder for Michael Rappaport
than Michael Rappaport.
Yeah.
And I think that's kind of what gets to think.
The cast is that it's, like,
stop talking about yourself,
stop defending yourself.
We're talking about somebody else now.
I could see why it would be exhausting
being in the castle with him.
Yeah, it's like...
Because I feel like that was his whole take in the reunion.
It was just, like, him defending himself
when nobody was asking him to.
I feel like he sucks up and traders.
He sucked up all the energy in the room.
It's just, like, you can't make a show
like that when somebody is doing that.
When he kept yelling out, Clip.
Yeah.
Clip!
That's very fun.
It's the same, but it's fun.
And Durin does right there
near regenerator of sex.
Well, I know.
But he also just doesn't care.
And I kind of love that.
Yeah.
I saw Rob did a speaking of being hot.
He, uh, GQ did a little, uh,
GPs on him, which he looked great.
And then, but I saw he identified himself
as extremely polarizing.
Rob?
Yeah.
What?
Which I was like, I found to be very interesting.
Well, yeah.
Right?
Because like, you know, I was like,
few.
I don't think I've seen a man be more palatable
to the masses than Rob Rouse.
Well, he thinks he's polarizing,
which I thought was just fascinating
that that's his perception of himself,
which like just kind of reminds you
that like, we no longer live in an age
where people are like universally beloved,
you know, with the internet being what it is.
Like, everyone has a group of haters.
And that algorithm will feed you
with that group of hate.
We'll show it to you.
Like, if you haven't opened up TikTok in a while,
and you're like in your public figure of any kind,
you'll open it to, you know why you're a fucking asshole,
you know, type of thing?
It's a wild thing.
I haven't seen anyone hate Rob.
Yeah.
Neither.
Well, I haven't either.
For my, for my POV, he's universally beloved.
But I imagine like, you know,
I've seen things where he's like, he is,
you know, people are getting hate
when you see them defending themselves in the comments.
And Rob has been fairly busy
in the comments this season.
So he is definitely being criticized
by some section of the internet.
Probably some housewives fans.
Sure.
Yeah.
I was also going to say those, like,
the small amount of negative comments
he's probably not used to receiving from sad fans.
I'm like,
what's small?
You know what I'm saying?
It's the same way that you can have 100 great comments
and three bad comments
and the three bad comments will stick out to you.
That is fascinating.
That's how he feels, right?
We're all watching Rob being like,
everyone loves you, man.
Like, how did you do it?
I was going to say the only polarizing thing he said
for me was at the end when he was like,
yep, I'm just going to take my money,
get myself a house, live quiet life.
And I was like, bitch, you're going to be on GQ.
Yeah.
I'm not going to be able to get Sonic commercial.
I'm not going to be able to get away from you.
Yeah.
Let's see if you can see the stars.
You know, it's how to play that stick.
He's got it.
And that's the thing is it's like truly a stick.
Like, and I think me,
the part of me that is like, he's a little polarizing.
Like, I sit here watching it.
And I'm like, I have been personally victimized by you.
One of these people before.
You know what I mean?
And so it's like, I can sit here and objectively be like,
no, there's no malice, no bad feeling.
I think he's so fun to watch.
I was rooting for him to win until the end,
kind of, because then I felt bad.
But it's like, I feel like I have personally experienced this.
And so watching from the outside,
you're just like, you want to shake Mara
and you're just like, what are you doing?
How are you just blinded?
Blinded.
I've been there.
Yeah, but it's frustrating.
And it's like, it like, it affects me.
And so I will say like, yes, I can objectively be like,
no, hey, to Rob.
But I'm also like, no, you're a terror.
And you're what's wrong with you.
You've ruined a lot of women's lives, haven't you?
Yes.
And men in your same font have done the same to me, you know?
So it's, it is.
Or he's just kind of like, I just oops.
Yeah, he's like, I'm just a simple man.
It's like the most comfortable man of all time.
Well, a lot of people are fresh, you know, like the, I mean,
he, he, how people, he took all the money.
He really screwed over it.
Yeah.
And he made a good point of like, would you give $100,000
to someone you met three weeks ago?
Hell no.
But also Eric made a great point.
Money's cool, but relationships are better.
I was, he said something along those lines.
And I was like, you know what, that's a good person.
He's going to have good relationships.
But also, I feel like him and Rob are totally fine.
Remember like at the reunion, they're like, oh, yeah,
I took me a couple days and I'm over.
Totally.
But it is interesting because what if, what if one of the finale
fan of this was a, was a gamer?
And mostly gamers are, are kind of come on and be like,
well, listen, you know, when I'm not on these game shows,
I'm just, you're, I'm, I'm just nine to five in it.
I'm a normal person.
I'm not, I'm doing fine in life.
But like, this is a shit lot of money to me.
Yeah.
And it would have been, it would have been kind of fast
saying if Rob, like if, if Natalie, for example,
was, it was his him and Natalie.
But it does think you wonder like Rob walked out
with what was it?
200, about eight.
But then it's like, I wonder how much Sonic paid him
for those 14 ads he's doing.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm like, you're, he's probably fine.
Closed to the same amount.
I think you can, no, totally.
And I don't, I, I don't see Eric doing Sonic ads.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think it really put a bad taste in.
I mean, maybe I, maybe I'm falling for it.
But I'm like, I feel like it put a bad taste in my mouth.
I'm like, you basically just like used people,
which I guess is the game.
No, he literally didn't say that even with Mora.
He was like, we need Mora to go to the end,
so I can fuck her over.
No, literally.
And honestly, I was like so annoyed at Mora the whole time.
And then when we got to the end, I was like,
oh, I suddenly feel so bad for you.
Yeah.
Like I was faced when he was like, I'm really tired.
And he was just like laughing and smiling.
And she was just like, I know.
Oh, trust me.
When she was like, you embarrassed me.
I was like, oh, I know that.
I know that feeling.
Oh, you embarrassed me.
That is so real.
Didn't she say like, good luck finding a girlfriend?
Yeah.
I'm trying to find a girlfriend.
And he's going to be fine, Mora.
He'll be all right.
I think he has one now.
Every single one will be like, I don't change him.
Yeah.
It'll be me.
I'll be the one, you know?
All these hos, they are just dumb and stupid.
I will.
He confirmed at the reunion.
He's got a girlfriend.
And she's, they've been together.
That's so dumb.
Yeah.
He's the most remarkable he's ever been.
Why would you do that?
His girlfriend is himself.
He chose himself.
Or it's all marketing for himself.
And he's like, yeah, I'm going to be in a relationship.
And then they'll break up.
And then he'll still have access to all the women he wants.
But for the public image, yeah, I'm just a simple man
with the girlfriend.
I told you, I just wanted to tell you, I told you.
Do we know who she is?
Or is as far as she said, we do.
She's a real person.
She's a real person from like the Midwins of City.
Yeah.
She's a snake.
She's a snake, yeah.
She's a python from Kansas City.
He found a snake with roaming rarer.
Speaking of men who are, you know, not maybe our cup of tea
currently, maybe in this moment, love is blind.
Has a few winners.
Oh, god.
Gems, you could say.
Gems, uh, some gems, Alex and his little curly piece
that he pulls over to the front on his forehead.
I'm still wondering.
I would love to see him get ready in the morning
and put the gel on that piece.
What are your thoughts?
What about Chris?
Evil.
Who awful?
Chris, is he?
I'm just going to say he might be a little gay.
I'm sorry.
My gator.
It goes off for this guy when he's like, you just, you don't see
a crossfit.
It's like girl.
She's a doctor.
It's like, literally.
Yeah.
He wants to fuck himself, you know, it's giving a bit of
interval.
Yeah.
He's like, he's just like trying to find a reason not to, you know,
enter her.
Really?
He's like, it's just not working for you.
I'm saying.
Hey.
Yeah.
You don't do Pilates, queen.
Yeah.
The Andrew T comment was great.
I know what it is.
What makes you go on?
Love is blind and say the word.
Andrew Tate.
Unwarranted.
It's also breathing.
I don't know who that man is.
I'm getting the fuck out of this conversation.
No, that was brilliant.
We said that I'm plus, but she definitely has heard
his name.
No.
For sure.
She was like, I know enough to just say, I don't know
it, but I'm also immediately need to leave this.
Yeah.
This is very dangerous.
It's too long to watch sometime.
What is really special about love is blind is specifically on that show.
You can just watch men dig their own grave and you think they're going to stop and then
they don't.
Yeah.
They just keep going.
And the camera is right there.
It is Netflix 4K Ultra HD and they just keep saying things like what you think I'm
Andrew Tate.
Yeah.
With a big smile on his face.
A big evil smile on his face.
Yeah.
Susie, you're our, I think you're our resident single heterosexual person.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
The title.
If I'm looking around.
What a title.
Yeah.
We've got a couple of gays.
We have Sierra's engaged.
We're married and you're single and straight.
Okay.
Single and gay.
But is this what, I mean, is, is.
And when we watch these shows and they're really highlighting and we, we're, we're, you
know, it seems like this season of love is blind.
They're really, you know, they're introducing us to what seems to be like this, like ultra toxic
kind of, you know, you know, guy who is like, you know, either dreaming about day trading,
you know, like the male influencer and all like these, these kind of very, what's it?
Like these like red pill guys.
Is that what is it?
Are you seeing that out in the dating landscape more and more or is this, is it just
still like.
I honestly have, I mean, I am not going to lie.
I have had some really strange dating experiences and I, and I don't know if it's that I'm in
LA now because I've put myself out there a lot more.
But I mean, I met a guy that was just like blatantly like, I'm monogamous now.
But in five years, like I can't guarantee you that that's what I want.
But I do want to wife and kids.
So what?
Like, fully went on a date with a guy that said that to me like a few months ago.
And then went out with a very like just like a, which I didn't see that coming.
Yeah.
I really didn't see that coming.
And then went out with a guy that was just very, I would, I would say probably similar.
Like I was like, oh, this is very fun.
You're very attractive.
I really like this.
But like, I know what I'm signing up for.
It kind of felt like this type of guy that you'd see on the show.
And then I've also, you know, I met a really, really, really nice human as well.
So I feel like I've had a lot like, but I, I feel like there's a lot of weird stuff
happening.
And it's just becoming very normalized.
I think it's normal to be like just absurd.
Yeah.
And it's like, oh, people are just accepting this.
Yeah.
I'm just like, I don't think Chris, I don't think this is like a bad at it.
No.
And I don't think he showed up thinking, I'm going to, like for fun, I'm going to be the
villain and think that's going to be like his stick, you know, I think he thinks it's
normal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But that's what's crazy about it.
That's why he's like open to having this, these conversations with anyone.
It's like, he'll sit down with whoever and be like, no, this is why we brought
up.
And I said, like, listen, we can keep trying.
She didn't want to.
So that's on her.
So, yeah, I can rest my head at night, no one, I give her an option.
And then he's like, I can't think of anything else, but the fact that I am disgusted by your
body, but I don't know why you don't want to keep on trying.
And then when they see each other at the mixer and he's like, you look so good.
You look really good.
Yeah.
You shut up.
I don't really.
Do not speak to me.
And he's like, and you just have dark features in you and she's like, I don't need you
to tell me.
I just don't know how you can be that aggro of a man and be wearing a vest.
Yeah.
I just.
What's his height?
Is he a short king?
I think he is five.
I think he is five eight.
That's the issue.
Yeah.
Maybe five seven.
Connor said he was short.
Yeah.
Connor called him short.
Yeah.
I like classic.
What do you guys think about Connor?
Love Connor.
Love Connor.
Like, what did that break up come out of absolute nowhere?
I was.
It was like the most beautiful conversation that they were having where she was like, you're
not getting the best version of me and like, I can offer you so much more.
You're teaching me how to be, but are you just a lesson in life or are you?
I was like, whoa.
But Chris needs to take notes from Bree because at the end of the day, I just think Bree is
just not in the corner.
Yeah.
Physically.
Love is not blind for Bree.
But instead of being like, just wrong with your body and I, you know, my dick doesn't
work.
When I think about how you look, she could have just been like, maybe you're a lesson.
I think, you know, maybe, you know, like, Bree did it perfectly, like, you know, she wasn't
a dick.
Yeah.
I just think it's like, it just shows that it's like there is really no right way to break
up with someone because I'm like, yes, obviously Chris is like, that's the absolute blueprint
to what not to do.
But I'm like, even Bree's, I felt the same way I felt like I was like, watching like
a thriller and then all of a sudden, here's the fucking twist and I was like, wait, what
is happening?
Yeah.
I'm literally dumping him.
But I'm like, at the same time, it was like, it was eloquent.
She was like, I'm really working through things on myself.
I'm not the best version of myself, but it's still like, uh, brutal because he wants
to marry you.
But I do think, I do think in a world where we're, you know, we're seeing more and more professionals
of every gender out there and the boss, ladies and the boss, men's.
But for the, for the, for the simple guys that, that, that maybe just, their apartments
aren't very glamorous, you know, very fancy, you know, and they truly need a woman's
touch.
But Connor is like, your definition of a guy who's just like, tell me what to do.
I'll do it.
Tell me how I can be a better person.
I will love you.
I'll be honest.
I will defend your honor.
I am, I have high character, like you can, you can even nag at me.
You can even pick on me a little bit and I'm like, he's a good man.
We need to give these guys a shot, you know, because you just need a, they're all coachable
and some of you really like to coach.
So I just, and that's what I don't get it.
They seem very compatible, Bri and Conn, because she is.
She's a coach.
Okay.
Well, she, I didn't want a coach for, for him, because I was watching it and I was like,
oh, he's just taking it.
But I'm like, I want him to stand up for himself and be like, I wanted him to like, have
more.
Sure.
But maybe they'll find, they could have found that.
That's true.
I mean, at some point she could, he could have been like, yo, like, what she was like,
I mean, you don't at the restaurant take, you don't say she'll have this.
She even said, look at me as like, what should we order?
I'm like, that is my nightmare of a man, a man who says, she's, she's having white chicks.
Yeah.
She'll have the salad.
Yeah.
Perhaps not.
I'm sorry.
Like, that is literally her.
And she's like, you look at me like, what should we, it should be a, what should we
order?
It should be a conversation.
And to that point, I'm like, sorry, apples and oranges for me, where it's like a
Connor or an Alex, where I'm like, okay, Connor has a, a career, Connor owns a home.
Connor has manners.
And his suite.
And then we've got Alex who has no home, who has no job, but knows how to fuck and talk
a bunch of shit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Connor has honest work.
I'm just saying he, Connor definitely needs a strong woman in his life to say, hey, listen,
you're a good guy and you're doing, you're doing great.
Yeah.
But you can do a little bit more.
Let's get the tag out.
Yeah.
We can make this a little prettier.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, we can polish you up a little bit.
Heather, did you see where Alex was like nuggets?
Buffalo sauce?
No.
Oh, yeah.
No.
What the hell?
They're in a fight.
And then he's like, starts giving her McDonald's order.
Like, I know you so well.
It's nuggets, coke, buffalo honey.
Right.
And she's like, yeah.
I do want that.
He's like, thank God.
He's like, I'll order.
He's like, I'll order.
You bring it.
No, the fight that they were in was he brought his friend, a woman, I guess, to like
advocate for her.
Right.
Wait, really?
What are you talking about?
She was part of cast.
Yeah.
Oh, oh.
She was on the...
Oh, then her storyline never made it.
But she was in the pod.
Pod Squad, baby.
But they're friends.
They're friends from before.
And they were.
They lied to casting or like lied to everybody that they didn't know each other so that they
would both get the opportunity.
Oh, he lied.
He admitted.
He admitted.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it didn't make the storyline.
Or she didn't.
I guess she didn't have a voice.
Well, she did not have...
She did not have his bad.
No, I was like, period.
Get it.
Heather, do you have a trust in Dubai, a safe house in New Zealand, or a really nice house
in Florida?
Like Alex is planning and having?
Yeah.
It's all of it.
Yeah.
I like to lie too.
So fun.
Yeah, Alex.
Yeah.
He reminds you.
He speaks like a 17-year-old kid who lies.
Yeah.
It's all...
That's boy manifesting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When he was...
He just talked about...
A thousand.
Yeah.
And then I turned out...
And then you turned 25.
And you're like, I don't have any of those things.
Yep.
I plan on having.
Because like five years felt like forever.
Yep.
And you're like, I'm a total loser.
I still try.
Except that he is 30.
Is he 30?
Is there anyone specifically that you're rooting for?
No.
No.
Is a gay woman.
Yeah.
What about Christy?
I don't care.
I think Davante is funny because his head is full of rocks.
Do you know?
He's just like...
Yeah.
It's fun to watch that.
Who is that?
Who is the girl that was telling him like...
I know you're never going to call me pretty.
And he's like, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
I just love that.
He's giving her nothing.
Question.
Heather, question.
Do you feel like watching love is blind?
Do you feel like you're an anthropologist just like studying this psychotic heterosexual experiment?
Truly.
Yeah.
I'm like, men never listen this much to women.
This is amazing.
Yeah.
And then they still don't in the shadows.
They're actually asking questions.
Yeah.
And then still don't.
Yeah.
And then it's still like a five foot seven guy being like, you don't do cross fat queen.
It's just fat shit.
Yeah.
I'm just kind of...
Yeah.
I'm waiting for the lesbian love is blind because straight dating is so foreign to me.
I'm just like, yeah.
They did have the...
Or women.
Well, I don't know if we're all tomato.
Do they not?
They did and it's toxic.
I know that was so horrible.
It's terrible.
It's so bad.
It's all bad.
I guess you have to be.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But you got to be crazy.
We got a reality show.
A stable lesbian.
Yeah.
That's boring.
But I also think the...
The problem...
The problem with lesbian love is blind is like, you can't make any eye contact on the pods.
So that's like...
And they're going to fall in love in two seconds.
Yeah.
And so then it's like, it's just pointless, honestly, in my opinion.
It wouldn't work as a concept.
Yeah.
It wouldn't work.
Maybe gay guys.
I don't know.
Gay guys are a little toxic.
They can be fun.
Oh, that would be awesome.
Gay guys sleep around with everybody.
That's fun.
What do you think is going on with Alex's hair?
Nothing good.
Nothing good.
I wanted to give him a benefit doubt when he had that really pronounced peace.
And I was just like, oh, it kind of just reminded me of just how glamorous the average celebrity
is when they do glam.
Because I don't know about you, Susie, on reality TV.
And then you see yourself.
And you're like, I should have done my hair that day or something.
Oh, absolutely.
And you just realized just how much makeup or the average celebrity wears because you're going
out in public with your...
Like, apparently her hideous.
That's what I learned when I went on.
Do you get glam on those shows?
No.
No, not at all.
That's kind of my point where it's just like you just...
You do your hair a little bit, you know.
And sometimes after a while, you're in these like crazy environments and you just don't
give a fuck anymore and you like put on a hoodie and...
And whatever.
And then you're like, I'm going to regret that.
That was me at my hometown date.
My best friend saw me.
She goes, oh, you don't want to put on makeup today?
And I was like, oh, I thought I was wearing makeup.
And then I watched it back and was like, oh, yeah, I look horrid.
But then I saw Alex and he had that one wild hair just like sitting there really pronounced.
And I thought, you know, he just had to do a scene unexpectedly.
But then now I...
Then I was looking for it.
And it's kind of a thing that was just like, he didn't do it quite quite...
Oh, he does it every single morning.
Yeah.
He fixes it throughout the day.
For sure.
I have a question for you and I feel like you're really the only person I feel safe enough
to ask.
Okay.
Do you feel like Jim Carey has been cloned?
Girl, I'm so...
The internet has been so annoying.
I'm like losing faith in humanity.
How many people believe he was cloned for what reason?
No.
So we could have a puffy face and show up and speak French in a war show.
Like, he's retired.
I don't know if this is fake news, but it came out last night,
but that we now know like someone was wearing a prosthetic.
It was a prosthetic.
No, that is...
That is somebody dick riding for clout.
That's Alexis Stone who wears like latex masks.
So that was really Jim Carey?
And like shows up and...
Yeah.
That was...
See, this is what happens.
That was really Jim.
It would be internet.
People...
I know.
Nick, I'm worried.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, because it's...
I'm trying to get a full phone.
I'm thinking of Jim Carey from the 90s.
He's 60...
What is he?
Mid 60s?
Yeah.
With face work?
That's what happens.
You know what I mean?
We all see real housewives.
I don't know how it's so crazy and baffling people to be like, what's filler is all
this sudden?
Yeah.
I think he's just an older dude and people are like, oh, he's talking different.
I'm like, do you get old?
And you're just like gentler and quieter.
I don't know what they're expecting to like kick flip.
What about the conspiracy of his eye color changing from brown to blue?
Right.
This is...
We should have left kids behind in school.
It's just lighting.
It's like my eyes can be brown and then lighter and with light.
It's just science.
It's like a bonus game.
When people don't understand things anymore, yeah, they're just like, uh, or like contact
don't exist or, you know, I think you're really disappointing a lot of fans out there.
Heather.
Yeah.
Well, that's because I'm Jim Carey.
I'm really the clone.
Yeah.
I should...
I should run with this theory, but I feel bad for the guy kind of.
He's a minor.
So, do we think anyone's going to say I do this season?
We definitely need an I do.
Christine and Vic, for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're healthy couple.
So, that's why we're not really focusing on it and it's like showing them every once in
a while.
I also want to take back what I said about Devonte and Brittany to anybody that's a plus
listener, because I only had seen the first half of episode 10 and I was like, oh, I feel
like they might start be like listening to each other and hearing like, you know, she
was like, you don't call me Brittany and he was like, oh, I'm never going to do that.
And then she's like, oh, my God.
I guess we like, it's me projecting my relationship.
Why never?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Um, but then when they were sitting in that hot tub, and it was like a him going
thing.
Yeah.
Remember when we were dating 16 people?
Can we go back to that?
And I was like, this guy does not want to marry you.
And then he's sitting on the couch and goes, get like, listen, there's going to be a day
where you're going to try to call me and my phone's going to be off.
I'm not going to respond to you.
We're probably not going to talk.
And I was just like, girl, I'm your sitting here being like, so, but like, are you 99%
sure you want to marry me?
I cut this man to the curb between Devonte, Alex and Chris.
Well, Chris, I know why Chris went on the show.
I mean, I guess I know probably why Alex went on the show.
Yeah.
Those are three guys who had no business going in on this experiment.
Yeah.
Like Devonte, like, you're a, you're a, you're a heady guy who over thinks everything is
super analytical.
You were going to get yourself to marriage in six weeks.
You know, like, what, what a part of this process says I could do that.
No, it was when she literally goes, we're getting married in a week and he goes, whoa,
whoa.
It feels different when I hear you say that out loud.
Was it different when Nicholas, she said it at the top of the day.
It was like, oh, you're going to get married to eight weeks.
Meanwhile, you haven't met anyone yet.
Really?
And that, that was more digestible.
You were like, you know what?
Maybe this isn't for me.
And he's like, shit, I have to walk down the aisle with you.
I tried on like, sir, were you not a part of this entire experiment?
Right.
And it's like fine love.
Maybe you don't want to look at love as in blind, but like, you need, you need an entire
day off the grid.
You can't, I mean, listen, I'm not sometimes as an introverted.
A guy who just needs to take a break, he's sent my car after I park it and just sit there.
I, you know, we all have to do that.
But like a tired day, you also married somebody who's on your, if you're on do not disturb,
she's going to hit it.
And it goes through.
Some, some, some time.
Notify anyway.
Notify anyway.
Notify anyway.
Sometimes, you know, you know, like I'm in my head, but he's just like the, I, I'm just
never going to, why can't you just give her what she needs?
Your dress is pretty, but I'll never tell you you are wrong.
Why can't you?
Yeah.
Why did he join the show?
I'm confused by Devante wanted to be on the show.
It's making no sense.
Is there something he's promoting?
Yeah.
He's going to post on Instagram, like he's launching a protein bar.
Right.
I was going to say, and you're getting brandy, right?
Yeah.
It also seems like Alex definitely is following chat GTP when it comes to like what he
should do on chat, whatever.
I'm just like.
Yeah.
He's, he's following chat.
Jim Tam laundry.
Yeah.
I keep going back to the first couple of episodes where he was like highlighting his, his,
his themes.
He's like, so like, I don't talk to my dad.
I have a soccer career.
I have to get over and I don't know what the third thing was, but it was like these three
pillars of my story.
I'm a no man.
No man.
No man.
Yeah.
Any time soon.
And that's who I am.
That's in my bio.
That's like that's why people are going to.
It was like, you know, he was talking about his tragic story, you know, and just like,
you could, and for a guy who we've realized is not, he has no truth.
He's just out there winging it as he goes, confidently talking about the three houses he's
going to have.
Heather, we have a really fun game that I thought we should play with you if you want to play.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
The game of hot takes or roasts, but you must choose one.
We will give a pop culture subject or topics and you decide, are you roasting it or delivering
your hottest take starting with number one, the death drop as a guaranteed lip sync save
on RuPaul's Drag Race.
Are you going to roast it or are you going to deliver your hottest take?
My hottest take is that it's overdone, bitch.
It's overdone.
And also, I'm worried about the men's dicks, to be honest, during the death drops.
I don't know what's going on there, but it's overdone now.
We need a new, we need them to do some WWE moves, maybe off of a rope.
What?
Now it's not, it's not impressive.
Everybody does it.
You know what I mean?
What about a wig reveal?
Overdone as well.
Overdone.
Overdone.
We need a move.
Fair.
We need something out.
I don't know what they're going to reveal, but yeah, that's like, once, once I think
Roxy did it the first time or somebody did it the first time, then it's done.
It's like one of those moves where you see it once and you're like, all right, yeah, yeah.
What a RuPaul win Drag Race in its current format.
Yes, because RuPaul is very tire-banks-coded and she will stop on everybody to get to the
top.
Period.
And that's why she's successful.
Who is first on the Britney Spears apology tour?
What does that mean?
Is she apologizing to anybody or is anybody apologizing for her?
That apologizing to her.
To her.
To her.
Okay.
Timberlake number one for 2020.
Yeah.
Remember that excerpt in her book?
Yes.
That is the funniest line ever when she said, what did he say?
He's like, oh, yeah.
And she's like, is it in?
Feel that?
And she's like, is it in?
I love that.
She put that in her book.
I don't care if she was drunk when she wrote it.
It's fair.
It's fair.
He needs to apologize.
Yeah.
Fetterline.
Any man in her life needs to apologize.
Every man who's ever crossed her path.
The dad.
Yeah.
Speaking of Britney Spears, Britney Spears Instagram's captions are they misunderstood
poetry or cryptic messages?
That's just meth, baby.
That's just meth.
Okay.
Perfect.
She can be a poem.
It could be.
You can make anything.
Hi, Koo.
These days.
Housewives last one.
Housewives storylines.
Does every housewife need one every season or is existing enough?
Clearly, they don't look at Whitney Rose.
What does she do?
She has an MLM that she convinces on MLM.
I think that's her storyline.
I don't know what she's doing.
I miss when she was just having fake sex with her husband on camera.
No, you don't need a storyline.
You can just walk around and pretend to be rich and defraud people.
That's enough.
Hell yeah.
Just get drunk and yell about friendship.
We love it.
Did we watch Beverly Hills last night?
No, I'm catching up on Beverly Hills.
I'm catching up on it.
But I don't care about spoilers.
I did see some clips.
Dorito, you know, she's going crazy with the spending.
What do you like about this season or not like about Beverly Hills this season?
I love the addition of Amanda because she's psycho.
She's a scammer.
I mean, let's call it what it is.
She sells courses for manifesting.
I need to start doing that.
What the fuck am I doing?
I'm writing dick jokes.
I should be, you know, selling 14 different courses on how to manifest money by taking
all of yours.
Um, I like the addition of her.
I like, I like Dorito, I'll always like Dorito accent, you know, it's very, it's very
hilarious.
Baldwin.
Wasn't they both, they're both born in the Northeast and speak like Europeans.
That's fun.
You know, but I got a lot to catch up on with Beverly Hills, but I do like the addition
of Amanda and I miss, I miss Jennifer Tilly.
Are you watching Summer House at all?
No, I need to get into that, but I'm just not convinced.
Again, it's very straight for me.
Is it something, you know, it was you convinced me to watch it?
Is it like, I like seeing older, older women that could drunk and yell about friendship.
So how, you know, what's the summer house?
Five.
Here is my pitch on summer house.
Summer house is very much like why gay people should watch summer house.
Summer house has so much tension and longing in it that it's basically poor travel.
Okay.
Even though it is between West Wilson, who works for complex and Sierra, it is basically
a queer love story.
And if anyone wants to argue with me on that, they can choke.
So also you have Kyle cooking Amanda, like Kyle, you're watching Amanda about to come into
her own regardless of like if she there's, there's just an idea of like, oh, Amanda could
be free now to date a woman.
She's probably not going to, but she could and that keeps you invested.
And that's my pitch for summer house.
Wow.
I'm so, great job.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And you have Kyle who's blaming his wife for forcing him to the bottle.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's a DJ.
Fine.
Yeah.
He became a DJ.
What's, are they just hanging out and partying?
Is it like Jersey Shore for millennials?
Like every weekend, they're going to bring out gems, I guess, and party is the kind of
the premise.
Yeah.
Like why I started watching it or why I thought it was interesting is because it's like
their business, the first couple of seasons, they're actually like business professionals,
but then it was like them like unwinding every weekend driving up to the Hampton.
So it's like something where I'm like, I've heard about this lifestyle for a very long
time.
Didn't know who was partaking in it.
And then the fact that they all get like obliterated and like fight and thought it's just,
it's, it's, it's, it's, it's fun.
It's interesting.
Okay.
Nothing like I, but I know.
Yeah.
That sound good.
Yeah.
Thank you.
So who's more dangerous to date, an Alex or Chris?
Honestly, I, if these were my choices, I, I like to access celibacy at, yeah.
But like I'm the same, but there's a lot of, I don't mean like them specifically, but
the guy who talks out of both side of his mouth, both sides of his mouth has a million
different stories.
You never really know what the truth is or the inflated ego that has nothing to back
it up.
Like I just, as I said, my choices are fucking terrible.
I think if it's just for dating, more dangerous, we, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's
Alex and who?
What's the guy's name?
Chris.
Chris.
Um, I feel like Alex could derail your life if you start to fall for it.
I feel like Chris, you know, you know what you're getting, like Alex, like we're all
in debt.
You know, all of a sudden it's like, sorry, babe, I said to tell you, you know, I would
say the Alex is.
Yeah.
Because the Chris is, it doesn't take long to realize that you suck.
Yeah.
I think it is, um, Jen's fiance, Ryan, Ryan, yes, yes, it's very, it's very, it's
very bad.
And we all, we, you know, many of us, we like to be fixers and relationships.
So Alex has the whole set up of like I have so much potential and he talks a big game
and he's handsome enough and then, you know, he doesn't talk to his dad.
So you feel, you know, it's just like, oh, man, he's got this built in, like, at
the heart of like, you feel for him and it's just, oh, you know, and he just, he, he lies
so confidently.
And it's like, it'll get you.
It'll gas like the fuck off.
He is the guy, he, the axis of the world is why everyone out there is a misusing or over
using the word gaslighting.
And honestly, to your point, I was like, this poor Ashley, like she has a steady career.
She has a home and she's about to give all that up to maybe be in Arizona or Florida.
No, yeah.
It's like that.
And then why the whole premise of love is blind since they started is being like, we're
going to cast people who live in this regional area because we want, if they do get married,
like we want to take out the whole, like, you got to move, you got to move.
And then they cast the guy, like, I got no home and the last place I want to be is oh
hi.
I will be anywhere else than oh, hi, they're like, yes, and he's got no job, no prospects
and he's expecting Ashley, who's about to get promoted to leave her job to leave her
job.
Or like, I want to give you enough time to talk to them and see if you can move somewhere
else if they'll transition you, but like, I can't be stuck here.
And like, that's his main priority, give her a year, like, let her figure it out, but
he's just not that guy.
But he will trek.
I'm prepared for it.
Thank God.
That's terrifying.
And he knows her McDonald's order.
Yeah.
That's gross.
Winning.
Yeah.
Chris is just short.

Wait, can I add one thought on Love Is Blind?
Please.
My friend sent me this video that Michael posted.
Oh, I saw that.
Oh, I haven't seen him.
Up his outfit, and all she said to me was-
It was a very serious, like, get ready with me.
Get ready with me with a button down and very caprid, I guess, slacks.
But she just goes-
In one bag over the shoulder.
She said this fit is absolutely shocking.
He did not get married, clearly.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Because it's like-
In the wood never.
First of all.
I can't remember her name.
Chinese Disco Baby.
Taylor.
Taylor.
Taylor and Graham.
Remember his glow up, though, the guy that she ended up with, and then it was like-
Oh, they got married, for sure.
That's why my friend sent that to me.
I was like, you know?
That's a good point.
There's no way.
Yeah.
Emma, trendy, gorgeous, loves-
She would attack someone.
Scary.
There it is.
Yeah.
Like, um, this isn't it.
It was the backpack with one over the shoulder.
Put the one over the shoulder.
If he says no, though, like, I'm going to be so fucking pissed.
She's literally amazing.
I literally, and the fact that, like, she's like-
Well, I mean, we don't know.
I get good vibes from Emma.
She seems lovely.
I just don't know if she's literally-
I mean, we don't know if it's people.
They are the ones that, uh, they disagree on children, right?
Yeah.
I think that's-
I think that it's too early to get married if you have that disagreement.
Because I'm like, you can figure that out later, and it doesn't have to be right now,
but like, you don't-
That's a good point.
It was like, it's just-
If- if having kids is a non-negotiable, then one person's like, I just-
I don't know.
I don't like-
They would just be objectively not smart.
To get married.
To get married.
But you can keep the relationship, you know?
Has anyone in the history of the show, though, just based off of the whole getting to
the altar part and somebody saying, no, like, has anybody actually gone up there?
I've been like, I would want to marry you someday, but like, I would want to like carry on
this relationship and actually carry on-
I think it's kind of been at least tried or teased.
I don't remember who, but it's never-
It's never worked out.
That's what it was going to say.
It's like I've never seen-
Which is interesting for like, the fact that this show has had and still has at least
some successful marriages.
Right.
Yeah.
And they have stayed together, which, you know, this-
The whole premise of the show is insane.
Like anyone who's getting married on the show-
In 30 days.
Crazy.
Yeah.
And Clary, it's worked out.
Amazing.
God bless.
But the fact that the middle ground option, which seems reasonable-
We would think-
For people who are like, you know what, we built something really great here.
I really feel good about it, but I'm sorry, I just-
I can't-
Yeah.
I'm just-
I'm too pragmat.
There's just no way.
Yeah.
But I really like you.
The fact that like-
None of them.
None of them worked out is kind of interesting.
It is.
Most of them when they end the conversation-
Or in the relationship, it's-
The conversation is-
I'm not ready right now.
Right, but-
So a lot of them have said it, but I don't think yeah, a lot of them have actually-
But they're like, carry on after the fact that-
Yeah, but-
Like when they break up-
Well, the only one who really did that to any degree was Raven, and then he cheated
on her.
Thank you.
We had her on a very explosive-going-deeper episode.
Speaking of explosive-going-deeper episodes, we have Kenya Hill on this week's episode
of going deeper, obviously the America's Next Top Model documentary that's been taking
the world by storm on Netflix, and everyone's been talking about it.
But we have not really heard post-documentary from really any of the models until now.
Kenya is with us to talk about her whole experience on that show, lots to unpack, lots to talk
about.
I'm curious what she thinks about some of the fallout of the documentary about, you know,
the judges, and just like everyone involved, I think, obviously we know that Tyra's been
like a topic of a lot of discourse, but I'm curious if she has a lot of much to say about
some of the other people involved in the production of the show.
That is all on Wednesday, so do not miss that episode.
Also, I just wanted to throw out there.
We're talking a lot about Unlikable Man on Reality TV.
I can vouch for these guys because it's not like I spent a lot of time with them.
I mean, we saw it sometime with them.
I do think on the upcoming season of this new hit show, Age of Attraction, out on March 11th,
on Netflix hosted by my wife, Natalie Joy.
She's a star.
And you?
I didn't know about that.
I'm there.
I'm there.
I actually love that, actually.
That's amazing.
Nally really shines.
There's some guys you can root for.
There are some really sweet hearts on that.
You know, I am not volume them.
I don't know if a girlfriend or a wife or a friend is going to come out on the
internet and be like, fuck this guy.
I'm not.
But it seems like there are some guys you can root for.
I think there's some real sweet moments.
There is one guy that I'm really excited to talk about.
Oh my gosh.
It's Susie circling back to traders before we fully move on from that.
How do you fill up more?
She's going to get a Birken.
I know.
I mean, there's that.
Yeah.
But also that he's going to follow through.
He has to.
They said it in a reunion.
He has to.
But also, I'm like after taxes.
Is there going to be enough for that?
Really worth it, Rob?
I feel like $10,000 for a Birken is like that's like base starting and I feel like I
know like this strap.
It's like $20,000.
I don't know much about the luxury of of bags, but yeah, it's isn't it like like buying
a Mercedes and you have to roll down your window.
Right.
No bells and whistles.
Yeah.
He's getting the basic back.
It's like there's no heated seats.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So like is that is a $10,000 Birken and not even for the Birken people.
Then why are you looking at me?
I don't know.
I do be watching the Birken buyer videos.
Yeah.
It's also $10,000 in this economy.
Well, I'm saying it's not.
She met $10,000 when she first bought her first birken.
It's not going to be that and it's going to be resale.
It's like $20,000.
I would say it's the base start for a Birken and it just goes astronomically.
Don't you need a in?
Well, I'm saying anyone just like with a lot of cash.
So in like Paris and London stores, you can go in, but for those places, you need an
appointment.
If you have a contact that are missed, they can like notify you when you they have in
stock.
But most of the time you're buying it resale, which is why it's and if you have, even
if you have an appointment, like if you have a specific bag that you want, that's not
in stock.
Like they'll call you and say we have an availability or we might have one in that vein.
But then they'll come and they'll show you what they have available.
But it's like getting an appointment is like a coveted slot.
So it's like, you're on a wait list.
Which is that it's not make me want to buy one of your bags.
You know,
even when I see like, we'll be in New York and I'm like, oh, let's like pop into Gucci
and you walk up and they're like, could you wait outside like you don't have any?
And I'm like, okay.
I'm not going to catch me in a photo and in line, stay out here, wait for one.
There's no one in there.
Yeah, exactly.
No one is shopping.
Right.
And to the universe, that's Bethany Franco.
A member she made a whole video about was a Dior or Chanel, one of the major fashion
houses.
But she had a whole thing that like her rep or somebody like they wouldn't let her
in because she didn't have an appointment.
But it's like you have all people should know that you need an appointment.
Hmm.
Anyways, do we think Rob's going to get an appointment?
I don't think so.
I don't think so, but I wish Chanel, by the way.
I wish Chanel.
Okay.
Chanel.
I just find, I found traders so unsettling, which is probably why it was like such a good
watch because I'm watching it and I'm like, I'm observing things happen and I'm like,
I know realistically this is a game.
It's a game and I know there's money at the end and I can't be mad at the same way I
get annoyed at faithfuls for thinking there's no way they could be a trader.
I'm like, there's no moral compass to being a trader.
You get tapped on the shoulder.
There's no, you're not a good person or a bad person of your trader.
You're just like tapped on the shoulder.
So I have to check myself, but it was really like, it was really sad.
Like I felt so bad and I felt really, I was so annoyed at Mara the whole time.
And then when it was revealed and I felt bad for her, then I thought back to her eliminating
Tara.
And then I'm like, okay, well, you knew she was a trader.
So you were just being selfish.
You just want more money for yourself.
So then I don't really feel bad for you.
That's what I find about I'm fascinated by your take and hearing you talk about like being
a little triggered by Rob through your own like getting experiences, but like that is
reality TV.
That's like, that's why we love reality TV because like we, all reality TV is really just
a mirror.
It is.
You know, and the people, I honestly think the people we critique the most on reality TV
are either people who remind us of someone who hurt us, screwed us over, or more often
remind us of ourselves because it's really easy to identify people's like, you know, like
I think because deep down we know our flaws and things we're insecure about.
And it's like it's hard to admit that we do the thing, but we can really see it when
other people do it.
Well, I think this is going to be, I don't know if it's controversial or like if you
should keep it to myself, but like I actually think I could be a really good manipulator.
And so watching Rob manipulate, and he says like, I'm using manipulation tools like I,
and he's recognizing when he asked everybody the question and I'm like, I do feel like
I could manipulate people well, but I feel like I would only ever do it for good, not
evil, you know?
Like I feel like if I were to get to the end on traders as a trader, I would then be like,
I won, but like I'm donating it all like, I can't keep this dirty money.
It's dirty money.
Like that's how I would feel about it because I would be manipulating people.
So I think maybe you're right.
And maybe it's both that I see parts of not that I'm, I would be that skillful at it.
I think I'd be too, too guilty, but I mean, no one's in any position, obviously, to
tell people what they should do with money they want, but it is fascinating when we watch
these shows because especially with traders, there is a collection of mostly reality TV
stars.
And as a huge spectrum of people in terms of like their financial situation, some of, some
people in the space are living the high life.
They got more money than they know it to do it.
They got fuck you money.
Other people, it's, you know, they have their jobs are nine to five and they're really
grateful for some of these opportunities, but like sometimes these opportunities that
they go on are really expensive, you know, in terms of like just going to, that's so true.
The, you know, the pressure and the cost and you have to fly yourself and then you have
to pay, you know, it can get really expensive and, you know, you can make a lot of money,
but you spend a lot of money trying to make a lot of money.
And then just you throw them all into a world where like there's usually one winner, you
have the option to split it, but like do you want to split it?
I know.
And then to Rob's point, like who would share $100,000 of some of them at three weeks ago?
Some people in that castle would because they're like, you know what?
They're going to think, I don't really need this money, but there is something to be
said about someone going on the show who is financially secure, who $100,000 might not
feel like all that money in the world and strategically be like, you know, this could
be really good for my brand.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
And I think I think Rob is probably fine, like with all of his brand deals with how likeable
he was.
I think he's probably fine financially to have split it, but I also think then it's like,
okay, well then what's, what would his game have been if he just played a worse game?
Like that wouldn't have been fun to watch if he just like threw it, you know what I mean?
Like he, he did exactly what he was supposed to do.
So I'm like, I can't fault him.
That's what I think it's like.
And I'm like, I get where I'm like, when we had MJ Mercedes on last week.
And it was just like what happened to her was fucked up.
Like at the end of the day, like, yes, it's a game, but then it's like, there's personal
moves that are made that it's like, yeah, like her feelings are hurt and she's entitled
to that.
However, I'm like, there's two different types of people who play games and I can say
that I've been both, but I'm like, there's people that realize that it's just a game
at the end of the day.
There has to be a winner and there has to be losers.
There's other people who take everything personal because they're competitive and because
they want it so badly.
So therefore, it's like what other people's moves that are just smart gameplay, it's
like, no, you're, you're, you're cutting me at my knees.
You literally like stabbed me in the back and it's like, that's the name of the game.
We're playing mafia.
But think about it.
Think about it.
I hate how many like friendships or family fall out have come from game.
Oh, when I was 12, my best friend and I, my grandma was house sitting.
My grandma was my favorite person in the whole world.
And like, it was two days straight of us like being like, up each other's asses that
I was just like, I was sick of her.
And then we decided to play a monopoly.
This is why I literally have to like run through.
Is it worth it for me to play a monopoly?
I take that shift fucking seriously, especially if I start running out of money.
And then you start asking me dumbass questions like, you want to sell me that property?
Go fuck yourself.
So I get really defensive.
One time I swung at her.
There was.
Oh my god.
There was a one and only time.
No, no, no, no, no, but I was like literally like, I was 12 years old.
And I got so mad at my grandma was literally like, are you kidding?
Wait, Sarah, you made contact?
No, but I like swung at her.
I was like, oh, you're going to be like, and she, my grandma was like, are you serious
right now?
And I was like, I'm going to, I got to need to tell you one time, yeah, I was, I was playing
secret Hitler with some friends like a while ago.
And one of like, I was playing with and had partnered and allied myself with one of my girls.
And I trusted her.
I was like, and she's so, she's such a sweet like nice kind person.
She's so good at games, like loves games.
So I was like, okay, she's going to be mine now, right?
She's going to help me through this game because rules confuse me and I need like 30 minutes
before I enter.
Like she was and she, she had me wrapped around her little finger into this day.
Like I love her.
You're the more like you think you're the more I still, every time we play a game together,
I'm like, no, can't be trusted, I'm trusted.
One time I was playing Monopoly with my girlfriend at the time and we were with her family.
And I did not represent myself very well.
I got ganged up on and I did not like it.
Monopoly brings out the worst.
But they were like, they were all strategizing against me.
And it felt real petty and I and we broke up.
You broke up over Monopoly?
Basically.
It was honestly when I looked back on my actions, be hating that one.
You're like, this union would not work out.
All right.
Well, let's get into some Beverly Hills.
Well, if you missed the most recent episode of the Reholtz Fives of Beverly Hills, we
do have a rapid recap.
Dread is having an okay time co-parenting with PK by separating her hatred towards him
to off camera screams.
How rich yours is in her Zara era.
Rachel Zo thinks it's such a vibe, huge for chic aunts and young professionals learning
how to dress like an adult everywhere.
Dread's card gets declined on a $4,500 charge.
There was a fraud alert.
It's okay though.
She called the bank and she's in the clear.
Still rich.
Still safe.
Kyle Gentley wonders if Dread might be manic or having an OCD moment.
Of course, from a genuine concern, welcome back Lisa Rina, welcome back my chasins.
Boses like Diva, you're trying to convince Dread, you're not team PK.
But this is not helping Sutton and Jennifer Tilly talk about how Sutton's ex-husband finally
got their marriage an old.
So he could marry her friend, nothing bonds women like the share-trashing of an idiot man.
Rachel Zo, Jose family reunion plus Kyle and Dread who is late.
Kyle reveals that a guy asked her to leave her family to be in a plane shower with him.
She said no.
Rachel Zo would have tempted if he was odd.
Dread?
Great timing.
That.
Rachel Zo and everybody had left the store once that card got declined because I was sweating
for her for a second.
That's the worst.
That's the worst.
It's because I'm traveling and it's because I didn't tell the bank and it's just because
it's a different.
You're explaining to them.
Yeah.
And honestly, we'll never know.
And your first thought is like, let me pull out my other card and they're like, so
yeah, you're really bad at lying.
Get it.
I feel like her card is actually to climb, I feel like that always happens when you're
traveling.
No, no, it did.
Yeah, I'm like, it's a really big charge when you're out of it.
It's like when Monica's card declined in Bermuda, like you know what I mean?
And she's like, okay, guys, like what, like you know what I mean?
But it's like, there's just like this feeling where it's like no matter if it's a fraudulent
or no matter what it could be, there's also the thought in your head that like great.
Did I have like some like somebody who's wipe out my account, but I have to give Dread
credit to that.
I was like, listen, if I was in a store and everything that I tried on, Rachel Zo said
iconic.
Amazing.
And then I was like, and you need this hat too.
I'd be like, okay.
Yes, they do.
It's literally like when Heather Dubro told me about Diamond Ring.
And I was like, anything that you say, I'm in, yeah, literally Dread just got styled
by Rachel Zo for free.
Like, yes, I'm, well, you know, not for free, but you know what I mean?
4,500.
Her part of the label was free, but like she still had to pay for it.
I would do the same thing.
I do want to give a shout out to my wife.
We had to get some curtains.
Which first of all, curtains.
They're hard to find.
They're expensive.
They're expensive.
They're expensive.
You need like, if you like have some pretty tall windows, you need like custom curtains.
You're like, this is a weird length.
Like I can't find this anywhere.
Yeah.
I was gonna say anytime you venture out of like the main size that everybody has, you're
not gonna find it.
They're hard.
Yeah.
Anyway, the initial estimate was high, and she cut it down to a third.
Wow.
Negotiation.
She made some very practical decisions, which I really, I can Amazon.
I appreciated the other ones, and I did have them send out their measurement expert guide
to measure.
So that, and then I before he left, I was like, and what were the links with that?
Yeah.
And I was like, perfect.
Thank you, Amazon.
128 inch.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you for your service.
The way to do service.
But, you know.
It was a turn on.
That's awesome.
You know, it was a turn on for me this episode, Jennifer Tilly's, uh, table manners, but
later.
Yeah.
She said, what's your name?
Me too.
I talked about it, and she was like, I'm sorry, what's her name again?
Yeah.
And she said, I'm Jennifer.
Nice to meet you.
Jennifer, nice to meet you.
I was like, she's an icon.
I'm sorry.
Like that outfit.
And I'm just, it's a big thing for me that I was just like, somebody like Jennifer Tilly,
where I was like, I think he knows your job.
I think he was trying to be like, yeah, I know.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah.
Like, do you know, do you know what else?
Speaking of turn on.
I think one of the hottest things a person can do is just to be like so kind in like a service
situation like that.
You know what I mean?
Like when they're so personable to, to, to people, it's just like, I'm like, ah, you're
the hottest person I've ever been.
Like watching your partner be charming to other people that you're like, obviously, this
is like no threat.
Like I'm not like jealous.
You know, it's just like watching them be charming.
You're like, wow.
You just are amazing.
It's a good one.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
You are JFK Jr.
Something really.
I can't wait.
Was Amanda in the subset?
No.
Right.
But I will say I think unwatched what happens live.
Amanda did make a point that I kind of laughed at.
And I was like, all right, two points, Amanda.
Um, when she, she got asked her in your game, like why she feels the need to like talk about
or does she regret that she's like so big on like discussing like labels or being like,
oh, my God, I'm going to go put my water in my Chanel backpack.
And she was like, I want to show that everyone does it.
And it's so true that for some reason, maybe just because she's new that it's like a little bit jarring the way
that Amanda does it.
But like, she pointed out that like Jennifer Tilly literally like, yes, this is Versace.
This is $10,000 ring.
The rings.
Yeah.
Uh, Doreet head to toe.
Like I'm just like all of these women do talk about like their wealth or like things that they bought
or Kathy Hilton and her staff and whomever else.
And it's just like.
But when or like by tequila line, whatever it is, but it's like when Amanda does it,
all of a sudden we're all like, nobody on Beverly Hills is this ghost.
Here's the thing is when Amanda is doing it, Amanda is doing it to prove to the other women.
Yeah.
And they can pick up on that.
And when I can't say this about everyone else on Beverly Hills, but when someone like Jennifer
Tilly is doing it, she's just doing it too.
But they very humble brag with Cynthia Bailey and Crystal Kong Minkov coded when they do it.
But when Amanda does it, it's like, she's like, see, I'm one of you.
And it's also on watch.
It happens when she was like, I thought it was just like really funny.
The juxtaposition of like putting sunscreen in your Chanel backpack.
And it's like, what?
We must have different humor about that.
I don't understand.
That's something to call something.
Tells me that the sunscreen you're putting in your Chanel backpack ain't banana boat.
Is there fancy sunscreen?
Yeah.
So much.
Paracut.
Mark up.
Yeah.
Literally.
Are you putting your Chanel sunscreen into your Chanel backpack?
La Roche.
La Roche.
Yeah.
Pulse.
Anyways.
I do want to say I do really appreciate Erica Jane in this episode.
I don't think we've seen her that vulnerable and so long.
And she was saying things that I even was like, like that resonates with me and like my experiences
in life.
And I think there was a specific line where her therapist said like, but this isn't the worst
or something.
I didn't happen to you.
She said it.
The worst happened to Tom.
Right.
Like you're living a bad situation, but like there is a silver lining in this mental process
I guess.
I think of her therapist to shout out to because I'm like from all of the fake TV therapists
that I have seen on this show again, terrible advice.
This seemed like solid advice.
They weren't just pushing a scene forward 100%.
She was literally like listening.
So it might not get better.
It might not get better.
So tell me again, why you married your husband?
Like no, she was literally just like, yeah, like it was a real session is what it was
like.
Yeah, it felt like she wanted her therapist there to have like support sharing her story
on Beverly Hills to me.
I have a question as a new viewer.
She was left with $10 million in fees and things like that.
Like does she have the money to pay this or is she left broke?
Do we know?
I think she's in a tough situation for sure.
I mean, I don't know any of the details, but when you're married to someone who well
either makes criminal activities or just bad financial decisions, you're stuck with
that, you know, often and you, if they can't collect it from that person, then they're
going to, they're going to go after you.
Yeah, but they're not going to like claim like 10 million from her like, like buy this
date or she's in jail.
Like they're probably going to have some sort of like roll out of like how she said it.
I was at last episode of the episode before that they're the goal.
I think the people going against her, I don't know who would, you know, but like it's
for her to file bankruptcy.
She said that in this episode.
Yeah, there's a lot of nuances with her situation because the common through line with all
the cases is that Erica's money is a result of Tom's money.
And since Tom's estate doesn't have money anymore, like they're trying to get it through
her.
And the only problem we see this almost every week is that I don't know what Erica makes
on Beverly Hills.
But I bet it's a decent amount.
She's been around for a while.
She's an icon of an iconic franchise.
I mean, Andy said it on reunion like three years ago where he's like, I've seen your
paychecks, but like I think everybody's coming for her and it's like millions of millions
of dollars.
And that's where I was like, listen, do it.
I think that she handled things poorly throughout like sure, but at the same time like these
things like weren't decisions that she made that now she's forced to have an opinion on
let alone to have like legal opinion, let alone know that she's at risk of losing anything,
let alone everything.
No, that's true.
I mean, we she had to process that in her own way because what the fuck?
She was in survival.
And I think we saw like the product of that.
Yeah.
Right.
And I think like now she's able to like be settled with it and like live in it and realize
like, okay, like this isn't ending any time soon, but I'm like, I think back then it
was more like denial or like I didn't do anything wrong.
So why do I have to answer for?
And it's like now we're just seeing like her coming into her own being like, okay, like
this is what I have.
I'm finally starting to heal.
And yet there's it's never ending because Tom's in jail.
So it's she's now left to pick up all of the pieces or people feel like they're entitled
to money from her regardless of like what she's done on her own.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think it's like they're not going to like not touch the money she got from Broadway
from performing from being on the show.
Like it's all up in the air for her.
That's the part.
Yeah.
Can I be honest?
I think Erica's storyline this season is the only one I'm genuinely, I'm deeply interested
in invested in.
Invested in.
Invested in.
Well, it seems one of the most authentic ones.
Yeah.
And I think that's what that's something that Beverly Hills, the nature of Beverly Hills
is in authenticity.
Right.
I mean, that's the whole thing of like battling that and battling actual relationships
with each other versus the projected ones that you have to have because of the like town
that you're living in.
Right.
So I think having Erica just have this thing happen to her that isn't this more like we're
kind of past whether she was a victim or not or if it was her fault right now what we're
watching is just the active reality of what happens after something like that happens
to you.
And I think it's so I'm really glad she's like being so open and vulnerable about it
because you can kind of just see all of the different ways that she's processing it
when you're like judging and bad for her.
Yeah.
You know, you want her to come out on the other side.
I think she's at a point where she's just like being honest.
Yeah.
And you don't see that from almost anyone else on the real housewives of Beverly Hills
currently.
She just like wants to be on with her life.
She's got a boyfriend finally in a healthy relationship.
She got her home together and then it's just like, Oh, and great.
Speaking of yuckiness, did you see how Aaron was awarded?
Oh, yeah.
It's like five grand or something, right?
So five dollars and has a journey fees.
No, it's like, how is that how is that possible?
That's I don't understand either because didn't he technically like violate his restraining
order and got it like rested and then we're still like, you know what?
We'll we'll we'll cut you some change here.
I don't understand justice for Denise.
Justice for Denise.
All right, well, that will do it for today's episode.
