It’s our one-year anniversary episode and we’re celebrating by spiraling through family discoveries, conspiracy TikTok, Hello Kitty identity politics, Reddit moderator tyranny, reality tv chaos, and the end of a deeply unwell trip to Vegas with the women of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

1:01:36 The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 1 episode 12: “Sinners in the City”

1:38:45 attention from The Real Housewives of Atlanta on social media.

1:39:46 we love you!

This week, Travis and Emma look back on a full year of bestie approved. Then we head straight into the weirdest corners of the doomsday-prepping internet with EMF-blocking hoods, 5G thought theft, and the very important question of what exactly “the waves” think they’re going to find in our brains. Spoiler: probably not national secrets. We also discuss Rihanna Teixeira’s gloriously empty Trump “biblical proof” book, the horrifying revelation that Hello Kitty is apparently not a cat, and the deeply upsetting math of her being five apples tall but only weighing three apples. Emma mourns the loss of Jeopardy sweetheart Jamie Ding, while Travis airs out the 3D printing subreddit moderators after being banned for not having enough karma.

In reality roundup, we get into the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Orange County spinoff, the problem with trying to build a Housewives-style universe out of MomTok, and why Taylor Frankie Paul’s chaos may have been the engine holding the whole thing together. We also discuss Scamanda Frances and her remarkably low refund rate.

Finally, we recap The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 1, Episode 12: “Sinners in the City.” The Vegas trip fully detonates as Jen Shah rejects peace, Meredith disengages with Olympic-level grace, Baby Gorgeous navigates a hostage negotiation, and Heather somehow remains loyal past the point of reason. Then everyone heads to a hypnotist/mediator/psychic, where the group collectively confirms that nobody trusts Jen.

from Indy to wherever you listen to podcasts, we love you!

00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:14.679
Hi, I'm Travis. I'm Emma. This is Bestie Approved.

00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:17.579
What's the last song you listened to? It was

00:00:17.579 --> 00:00:20.239
the Bluey theme song. Calms Augie down these

00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:23.120
days. He loves Bluey. Do you know who else loves

00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:25.780
Bluey? Every Child in America. Every Child in

00:00:25.780 --> 00:00:27.719
America and Boomer. Did you know that they like

00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:32.079
the show is like colors that dogs can recognize

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.840
and like it calms Boomer. Oh my gosh. So cute.

00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:38.979
It's so cute. I love that show. I also think

00:00:38.979 --> 00:00:41.850
Boomer actually really loves. Like, Australian

00:00:41.850 --> 00:00:45.590
and British accents. Because, like, he'll watch,

00:00:45.670 --> 00:00:47.570
like, he will lock in, like, when I'm watching

00:00:47.570 --> 00:00:50.409
Ladies of London. Oh, yeah. I'm so serious. It's

00:00:50.409 --> 00:00:55.310
the cutest thing ever. Is he part healer? Probably.

00:00:55.310 --> 00:01:00.130
He's a little mind. I don't know. My last song

00:01:00.130 --> 00:01:06.760
was Like a Prayer by Josh Fawaz. It said. It's

00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:09.920
a DJ on YouTube or on TikTok who like all of

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:11.959
his songs sound like they belong somewhere between

00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.000
like Los Angeles and Ibiza. Do you know what

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.579
I'm talking about? No. Okay. There are lots of

00:01:18.579 --> 00:01:21.459
DJs on TikTok I like, though. I don't know any

00:01:21.459 --> 00:01:24.939
of their names. Well, one of them is Josh Fawaz.

00:01:25.060 --> 00:01:28.040
And it's he like he does a lot of like Madonna

00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.840
remixes like that's it's never like Madonna's

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:35.120
voice. It's always like a cover of it. But I

00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:40.719
like it. Probably the copyright, babe. Nar. Trademarked

00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:45.879
voice. Nar copyrights. This is going to be our

00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:50.079
one year anniversary episode. How precious and

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:55.120
cute. Do you want to know what I did to prepare

00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.680
for this episode? No. I went back and I listened

00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:02.620
to the first couple of episodes we did. No, I'm

00:02:02.620 --> 00:02:04.359
actually terrified to do that. No, thank you.

00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:11.930
It was un - listenable like we i'm good like

00:02:11.930 --> 00:02:16.310
i think episode three or four is where like we

00:02:16.310 --> 00:02:18.930
started to get comfortable on the mic and like

00:02:18.930 --> 00:02:23.949
it wasn't um it wasn't pulling teeth and painful

00:02:23.949 --> 00:02:28.509
yeah But, like, there is something really, like,

00:02:28.650 --> 00:02:30.870
we're so innocent. It's, like, we're going into

00:02:30.870 --> 00:02:33.729
this. It's nostalgic. It is. It's so cute. And,

00:02:33.729 --> 00:02:36.490
like, I remember sitting in that multimedia room

00:02:36.490 --> 00:02:40.729
at the Carmel Clay Public Library. Yeah. Like,

00:02:40.750 --> 00:02:44.969
watching it rain. The vibes in there didn't help.

00:02:45.030 --> 00:02:49.789
The, like, tight nature of things. Of, like,

00:02:49.849 --> 00:02:51.969
being nervous and anxious. And then also in this

00:02:51.969 --> 00:02:56.840
tiny room. Yes. Yeah. But also. I very vividly

00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.639
remember you like and I was like, I didn't think

00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:01.580
we were nervous, but I very vividly remember

00:03:01.580 --> 00:03:05.740
you going, we can do this. I'm not nervous. And

00:03:05.740 --> 00:03:08.300
I like I was like, oh, my God, we were so nervous.

00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:11.900
I think I was like less nervous to actually record

00:03:11.900 --> 00:03:16.340
the podcast and more like it's something I've

00:03:16.340 --> 00:03:19.300
never done before. And I don't know the ramifications

00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:23.539
of such things, you know? Yeah, I think that's

00:03:23.539 --> 00:03:25.919
more what it was. I don't know. In that same

00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.300
vein, my mom was saying she was listening to

00:03:28.300 --> 00:03:32.539
like older episodes, like trying to catch up.

00:03:32.620 --> 00:03:35.580
And she was like, the end of your pregnancy is

00:03:35.580 --> 00:03:41.599
hard to listen to. Babe, you can't breathe. And

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:45.699
I was like, ooh. You're right. I know I couldn't.

00:03:45.780 --> 00:03:48.139
It's the end of your pregnancy. And it's like

00:03:48.139 --> 00:03:50.580
your first couple of episodes back. Because I

00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:53.580
like. Yeah. I knew you wanted to come back. I

00:03:53.580 --> 00:03:58.349
could tell. My stepmom watched the episode we

00:03:58.349 --> 00:04:00.870
did. I think it was when we did Real Housewives

00:04:00.870 --> 00:04:02.830
of Rhode Island with husbands watching housewives.

00:04:02.969 --> 00:04:06.289
Yeah. She said, you sound tired. Yeah. Because,

00:04:06.389 --> 00:04:09.330
like, you weren't sleeping, like, at all. Yeah.

00:04:09.509 --> 00:04:16.509
But I've really enjoyed the last year of doing

00:04:16.509 --> 00:04:18.949
this. I've had, like, so much fun doing this.

00:04:19.110 --> 00:04:21.149
It is fun. And, like, we've made podcast friends.

00:04:21.230 --> 00:04:22.709
And I was, like, going through, like, some of

00:04:22.709 --> 00:04:25.930
the guests we've had on. We've said it before,

00:04:26.009 --> 00:04:28.110
but I love Husbands Watching Housewives. I love

00:04:28.110 --> 00:04:31.149
like Jolenta Greenberg, who she was the first

00:04:31.149 --> 00:04:34.389
one that came on when you were on your pregnancy

00:04:34.389 --> 00:04:38.529
break. And like I like I like I went back and

00:04:38.529 --> 00:04:41.029
I was like, oh, she's like I she told me to like

00:04:41.029 --> 00:04:43.149
check out her book and like I loved her book.

00:04:43.230 --> 00:04:45.910
And like I was like, we've made. A ton of really

00:04:45.910 --> 00:04:47.649
cool friends. And I've just really loved this.

00:04:47.970 --> 00:04:52.029
Yeah. You've even traveled. I did. I went to

00:04:52.029 --> 00:04:54.889
Dallas. I fully forgot about that. Yeah. We need

00:04:54.889 --> 00:04:56.610
to figure out if we're doing like podcast movement

00:04:56.610 --> 00:04:59.410
like both of us this year. Yeah. Because it's

00:04:59.410 --> 00:05:02.949
in September and they moved it to New York. It's

00:05:02.949 --> 00:05:05.050
a whole thing. I don't know if I want to go to

00:05:05.050 --> 00:05:08.110
New York for it because like that's. What if

00:05:08.110 --> 00:05:12.509
it's like a stop on my first time in New York?

00:05:14.159 --> 00:05:16.060
You've never been to New York, have you? Yeah,

00:05:16.060 --> 00:05:18.959
we can do that. We can go. I don't care. I can

00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:20.680
do all the touristy things. You can roll your

00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.180
eyes the whole time. It'll be so fun. Yeah, we

00:05:23.180 --> 00:05:25.040
can do that. That's fine. Whatever you want.

00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:27.500
I don't care. It's fall in New York. How cute.

00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.980

00:06:10.980 --> 00:06:12.980
really incredible today. He's sitting here with

00:06:12.980 --> 00:06:16.360
us. He's growing teeth. And also he's almost

00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.339
six months old. And so he's just like verbal

00:06:19.339 --> 00:06:23.959
and angry. He is. He's got a lot to say. And

00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:28.959
his legs are just a moving. Bless you. Bless

00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:34.639
you. You're so cute. But I had a wedding in Kentucky.

00:06:35.060 --> 00:06:38.639
It's like last week now where I saw all of my

00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:42.139
Kentucky family. I found out every one of them

00:06:42.139 --> 00:06:45.800
listens to this podcast. Which I love. So hi,

00:06:45.819 --> 00:06:49.319
Megan. Hi, Amy. Hi, Autumn. Hi, Mary. Hi, everyone.

00:06:49.620 --> 00:06:52.660
Because this is how I found out is like I knew

00:06:52.660 --> 00:06:56.439
Mary listened because Mary. said something to

00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.139
autumn about it autumn's the cousin i'm closest

00:06:58.139 --> 00:07:01.540
to and she's like i found travis michael on uh

00:07:01.540 --> 00:07:05.819
on the tiktok and she was like what are you talking

00:07:05.819 --> 00:07:07.680
about she's like it's this little cartoon phase

00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.879
or something and i was like oh she found the

00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.839
podcast tiktok and thank god for that thank god

00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:15.860
for that can you imagine she found your tiktok

00:07:15.860 --> 00:07:19.579
well i don't like i've never posted on my tiktok

00:07:19.579 --> 00:07:23.319
but like have you reposted anything though Because

00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.000
you can see that. I don't. I'm sure I have. But

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.259
like, I do know that when people follow my TikTok,

00:07:28.459 --> 00:07:31.100
it immediately resets their algorithm to like

00:07:31.100 --> 00:07:35.100
nothing but shirtless men running around. This

00:07:35.100 --> 00:07:36.420
is something I've been told about my TikTok,

00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:42.660
my Instagram. I know what you like. So there's

00:07:42.660 --> 00:07:45.720
that. Oh, you have reposted things, but they're

00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.560
not scandalous. Oh, yeah. No, I'm like, I can't

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:50.399
imagine. I'm like reposting some of this stuff

00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:53.660
that actually shows up on my TikTok. But then

00:07:53.660 --> 00:07:57.139
I was my cousin, Megan. She's the one that has

00:07:57.139 --> 00:08:00.980
100 kids. I'm sorry, Megan. I forget constantly

00:08:00.980 --> 00:08:02.899
how many kids you have, but she's got like seven

00:08:02.899 --> 00:08:07.220
or eight kids. And she was over talking to Autumn

00:08:07.220 --> 00:08:11.050
and me at the wedding. I turn around and she's

00:08:11.050 --> 00:08:12.670
like, I'm just real into the Real Housewives

00:08:12.670 --> 00:08:14.069
of Salt Lake City. And I was like, oh, yeah,

00:08:14.110 --> 00:08:15.930
Emma and I talk about that on our podcast. She

00:08:15.930 --> 00:08:20.050
was, I know, I listen to it every day. I was

00:08:20.050 --> 00:08:22.329
like, I had to go back and I was like, have I

00:08:22.329 --> 00:08:25.209
talked bad about her on this podcast? And I don't

00:08:25.209 --> 00:08:27.329
I don't think I have. I think about that all

00:08:27.329 --> 00:08:29.829
the time. Like whenever anyone says anything

00:08:29.829 --> 00:08:33.340
about the podcast, I'm like, oh. I also don't

00:08:33.340 --> 00:08:34.960
think I've had anything negative to say about

00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:39.779
Megan. Like I. No, no. And I, I don't think we,

00:08:39.820 --> 00:08:42.460
I think we would check each other if we started

00:08:42.460 --> 00:08:46.139
speaking poorly on our family on a public platform.

00:08:46.779 --> 00:08:50.159
It's not really what we stand for. But yeah,

00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.639
I just hello to my entire Kentucky family. We

00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.600
also have a guest here today. It's Kenny. Hi,

00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:56.799
Kenny. Do you want to say anything on the mic?

00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:01.360
No. He's like, he doesn't deserve the spotlight.

00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:09.440
Not today. What else? Also, I know I've tried

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:11.139
to start this conversation a thousand times and

00:09:11.139 --> 00:09:14.440
like halfway through it is where we get cut off

00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.899
with by by one Mr. August. Yeah, he really does

00:09:17.899 --> 00:09:20.299
not approve of the conspiracy. Maybe that is

00:09:20.299 --> 00:09:22.779
the thing. But have you seen this woman on TikTok

00:09:22.779 --> 00:09:32.049
who? August. Did you just pet him like a dog?

00:09:32.269 --> 00:09:35.809
He likes head scratches. He really does. To be

00:09:35.809 --> 00:09:40.289
fair. I do, too. I get that. But have you seen

00:09:40.289 --> 00:09:45.830
this woman on TikTok who is promoting this? It

00:09:45.830 --> 00:09:50.360
looks like a beekeeper mask. Yeah. And she. It's

00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:53.179
it's got silver like woven into it, I guess,

00:09:53.179 --> 00:09:56.259
like Lululemon shorts and it's blocking out what

00:09:56.259 --> 00:09:59.879
EMF waves. I don't I don't know what it's blocking

00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:02.019
out, but she believes the long and short of it

00:10:02.019 --> 00:10:04.799
is that the government is trying to steal her

00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.580
thoughts and dreams. And now that she started

00:10:07.580 --> 00:10:11.159
sleeping in this mask, she can remember her dreams.

00:10:11.620 --> 00:10:16.429
She can. She can she can pray now. She can get

00:10:16.429 --> 00:10:18.610
through a whole prayer. And like I was talking

00:10:18.610 --> 00:10:20.610
about, like getting distracted. Yeah. Like they

00:10:20.610 --> 00:10:22.350
couldn't get through a prayer because they get

00:10:22.350 --> 00:10:28.070
so distracted. And a couple of things. One, I

00:10:28.070 --> 00:10:33.649
don't. Like this, this, this whole new age, like.

00:10:34.669 --> 00:10:36.909
It feels like it fits in the same vein of like

00:10:36.909 --> 00:10:39.190
that 4 a .m. club woman who believes that like

00:10:39.190 --> 00:10:41.169
she was getting messages tonight that Kamala

00:10:41.169 --> 00:10:46.970
Harris lost the 2024 election. Like where. It's

00:10:46.970 --> 00:10:49.669
like you're you're getting messages from someone

00:10:49.669 --> 00:10:53.210
like the 5G is trying to steal your your like

00:10:53.210 --> 00:10:56.950
thoughts and. I have to be so real with you.

00:10:56.970 --> 00:10:58.750
Like, I just want to ask all these people, like,

00:10:58.789 --> 00:11:00.889
what what what do you think they're trying to

00:11:00.889 --> 00:11:03.149
get? Like, what do you think? What do you think

00:11:03.149 --> 00:11:06.070
is in there that they're like after? I like hope

00:11:06.070 --> 00:11:09.250
it's clickbait because it's more concerning if

00:11:09.250 --> 00:11:12.129
they truly are believing this. There's whole

00:11:12.129 --> 00:11:15.009
websites and businesses built around this. Yeah.

00:11:15.129 --> 00:11:19.830
But anyone's after a check. I mean, the horror

00:11:19.830 --> 00:11:22.929
like a. I just said whore because I cut myself

00:11:22.929 --> 00:11:29.730
off. Sorry. The whore. I'm just kidding. What

00:11:29.730 --> 00:11:33.090
I was going to say is the horoscope writer for

00:11:33.090 --> 00:11:36.830
Cosmopolitan, a former one, came out and said,

00:11:36.870 --> 00:11:39.750
I've made literally all of those up. I couldn't

00:11:39.750 --> 00:11:41.190
tell you the difference between the signs right

00:11:41.190 --> 00:11:44.190
now. People will do it for a check. I would prefer

00:11:44.190 --> 00:11:46.289
that people are honest about that. Oh, yeah.

00:11:46.309 --> 00:11:50.669
Because here's the thing. This like I went down

00:11:50.669 --> 00:11:53.350
this like rabbit hole on TikTok because like

00:11:53.350 --> 00:11:56.230
my TikTok at night is very different from my

00:11:56.230 --> 00:11:57.909
TikTok during the day. I don't know if you experience

00:11:57.909 --> 00:12:01.570
the same phenomenon, but like my TikTok at night

00:12:01.570 --> 00:12:05.730
turns into the earth is flat. There's something

00:12:05.730 --> 00:12:09.750
like inside of the wall in Antarctica. There's.

00:12:09.830 --> 00:12:12.549
Oh, God. Oh, God. I love these people. The wall

00:12:12.549 --> 00:12:15.129
that is Antarctica. But like this is the thing

00:12:15.129 --> 00:12:19.460
is like I. I don't subscribe to any of these

00:12:19.460 --> 00:12:22.690
conspiracy theories. I don't know why like I

00:12:22.690 --> 00:12:25.169
will listen to these because it's just like it's

00:12:25.169 --> 00:12:27.529
like I want to like catch them in something almost.

00:12:27.610 --> 00:12:30.970
It's almost like like a sci fi novel. It's like

00:12:30.970 --> 00:12:33.649
entertaining to hear their little stories and

00:12:33.649 --> 00:12:35.350
whatever. I used to watch YouTube videos about

00:12:35.350 --> 00:12:37.490
conspiracy theories I don't believe in all the

00:12:37.490 --> 00:12:39.909
time. Well, it's it's that it's it's the JFK

00:12:39.909 --> 00:12:42.389
assassination. It's the new ones, Charlie Kirk

00:12:42.389 --> 00:12:44.649
and like Candace Owens and like the whole thing

00:12:44.649 --> 00:12:48.370
there. Like there's a lot of that. And there

00:12:48.370 --> 00:12:51.200
are some things that have teeth. i'll give them

00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:54.379
that the denver airport is weird the denver airport

00:12:54.379 --> 00:12:56.500
that's another one that like shows up all the

00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:58.860
time is that like horse with the red eyes yeah

00:12:58.860 --> 00:13:02.480
it did kill the artist that made it that is true

00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:05.360
is it possessed by a demon no it's just heavy

00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:08.179
babe but that's okay right and like and this

00:13:08.179 --> 00:13:10.600
is this is the thing is like i think we have

00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:13.460
to be able to like delineate between some things

00:13:13.460 --> 00:13:16.200
are just creepy and weird and then like but we

00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.559
don't have to like fall down the rabbit hole

00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:21.000
immediately to like doomsday prepper stuff because

00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.179
that's where this like the woman in the beekeeper

00:13:23.179 --> 00:13:27.519
mask that's where her whole thing leads is like

00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.200
they're they're trying to they're trying to like

00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.940
get us like the the the vaccines the whole thing

00:13:33.940 --> 00:13:37.779
and i'm like babe you gotta stop with that like

00:13:37.779 --> 00:13:42.500
you You have to know that, number one, if if

00:13:42.500 --> 00:13:44.580
the zombie apocalypse comes, just give me the

00:13:44.580 --> 00:13:47.139
bullet. I'm not interested. I don't want to know

00:13:47.139 --> 00:13:49.679
what comes next. Good for you for thinking that

00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:53.080
you can survive that and like do whatever to

00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:56.399
populate the world or whatever the mission is.

00:13:56.539 --> 00:13:58.820
I don't want to be a part of that either. As

00:13:58.820 --> 00:14:02.399
soon as food is not readily available to me,

00:14:02.500 --> 00:14:05.320
I'm out. If I can't go to an Arby's, I don't

00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:09.940
want to go. outside and like this is the thing

00:14:09.940 --> 00:14:11.700
is like i've talked about this before where my

00:14:11.700 --> 00:14:17.019
aunt tanya is is someone who i think she dabbles

00:14:17.019 --> 00:14:19.679
in the doomsday prepper space i think that like

00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:23.740
in their defense something i think about a lot

00:14:23.740 --> 00:14:26.500
sorry no no no please let me say that at the

00:14:26.500 --> 00:14:29.440
end it's we've been doing this since the beginning

00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:31.960
of time yes if you think about like old mythology

00:14:33.049 --> 00:14:35.330
We've been scared of the end of the world since

00:14:35.330 --> 00:14:37.490
the beginning of the world. And how many, like,

00:14:37.490 --> 00:14:40.450
just us alone, how many ends of the world have

00:14:40.450 --> 00:14:44.529
we lived through? It was 2000. It was 2001. It

00:14:44.529 --> 00:14:49.649
was 2012. There was something in, like, June

00:14:49.649 --> 00:14:52.750
6th of 2006 was supposed to be the end of the

00:14:52.750 --> 00:14:55.940
world. Y2K, obviously. Yeah. But we've been doing

00:14:55.940 --> 00:14:58.279
that forever. Yes. Right. The Greeks, the Romans,

00:14:58.379 --> 00:15:00.639
they've all they all did that where they were

00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:05.379
like, it's the fear of the unknown, like for

00:15:05.379 --> 00:15:07.960
them, weather and things like that. And for us,

00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:10.779
like whatever that may be, we don't understand

00:15:10.779 --> 00:15:13.179
this new technology or we don't understand this

00:15:13.179 --> 00:15:16.539
or that. And so paired with the fear of death,

00:15:16.659 --> 00:15:19.350
I think. This has been going on forever and ever

00:15:19.350 --> 00:15:21.629
and ever. Right. And like, I think to myself,

00:15:21.730 --> 00:15:24.049
if there is anywhere that I want to be, like

00:15:24.049 --> 00:15:25.850
my cousin Megan's house is one of them because

00:15:25.850 --> 00:15:27.809
she's one of these, she's like a homesteader

00:15:27.809 --> 00:15:30.529
where like she. She's prepared. She's prepared.

00:15:31.250 --> 00:15:33.309
Well, I don't know if she's like prepared like

00:15:33.309 --> 00:15:34.990
for the end of the world so much as like she

00:15:34.990 --> 00:15:37.889
has like seven kids. So she just like jars tomatoes.

00:15:38.129 --> 00:15:42.169
I would love to go to a couponer's house too.

00:15:43.929 --> 00:15:46.929
I want to get into that later, too, because I

00:15:46.929 --> 00:15:49.629
have something about that. But like and then

00:15:49.629 --> 00:15:53.450
Tanya's house is like I've never seen such a

00:15:53.450 --> 00:15:56.129
well -stocked basement of like if you are ever

00:15:56.129 --> 00:15:58.649
hungry. I'm telling you, like during covid, she

00:15:58.649 --> 00:16:00.769
was like, if you need toilet paper, come over

00:16:00.769 --> 00:16:04.009
here because I've got it. Like she is this person.

00:16:05.610 --> 00:16:08.649
I still don't want to experience it. I'm so sorry.

00:16:08.950 --> 00:16:12.590
And like it's it comes back to this thing of

00:16:12.590 --> 00:16:17.250
like. Number one, I want to know what makes people

00:16:17.250 --> 00:16:20.289
think they're interesting enough to like be the

00:16:20.289 --> 00:16:22.509
the generation that lives through the end of

00:16:22.509 --> 00:16:23.889
the world. Like that's number one, because we've

00:16:23.889 --> 00:16:25.330
been doing it since the beginning of time. Number

00:16:25.330 --> 00:16:29.710
two, why is everything a conspiracy about the

00:16:29.710 --> 00:16:31.110
end of the world? Because like, do you remember

00:16:31.110 --> 00:16:36.429
the 5G thing? Yeah. Yeah. It was going to penetrate

00:16:36.429 --> 00:16:40.129
all of our brains or whatever. And we had friends

00:16:40.129 --> 00:16:44.879
during COVID that believed. wholeheartedly that

00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:49.279
the COVID shutdown was a hoax to get us in the

00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:52.000
house so they could put up the 5G towers and

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.120
get more birds in the sky because the birds were,

00:16:55.139 --> 00:16:56.740
the birds were all part of it too. The birds

00:16:56.740 --> 00:17:02.940
were surveilling us or something. Oh, that's

00:17:02.940 --> 00:17:05.880
been around forever. Birds aren't real. They're

00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:10.240
all government devices. Okay. Which is crazy.

00:17:10.859 --> 00:17:13.380
is a conspiracy because for how many centuries

00:17:13.380 --> 00:17:17.960
have we been shooting down birds? Yes. What do

00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:22.779
you mean? I don't know. I don't know. But like

00:17:22.779 --> 00:17:28.099
I just like I don't I want to come back to like

00:17:28.099 --> 00:17:30.779
the this whole thing about like stealing the

00:17:30.779 --> 00:17:33.279
thought stuff because like what do you like what

00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:34.779
do you think they're getting out of it? Like

00:17:34.779 --> 00:17:37.299
you're so special that they need to know what's

00:17:37.299 --> 00:17:41.450
on your mind queen. Yes. And I'm like and like

00:17:41.450 --> 00:17:43.809
i i swear to god like i thought the first video

00:17:43.809 --> 00:17:45.990
and i'll put this on the bestie approved tiktok

00:17:45.990 --> 00:17:49.029
but like i thought the first video she posted

00:17:49.029 --> 00:17:53.869
was a joke and then like she is so serious about

00:17:53.869 --> 00:17:56.170
this like it's it's like her wearing the mask

00:17:56.170 --> 00:17:59.579
it's like she's inside of this like pyramid thing

00:17:59.579 --> 00:18:01.779
with like a diamond at the top like she's like

00:18:01.779 --> 00:18:04.200
I'm really like harnessing the energy and I'm

00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:07.119
like that's so scary okay that's what I thought

00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:09.440
about the that little girl who was frolicking

00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:12.400
into our target I thought it was just a little

00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:14.960
joke and then her whole TikTok was the same thing

00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:17.900
these people are living that life but like a

00:18:17.900 --> 00:18:22.400
serious question if 5g was stealing your thoughts

00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:27.720
what would 5g pick up on much as i've said before

00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:34.319
if i lived in massachusetts in whatever the 1600s

00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:36.839
or 1700s whenever that happened i would be burned

00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:40.140
for being a witch if i were alive in the 40s

00:18:40.140 --> 00:18:46.940
or 50s i would be lobotomized and 5g would Push

00:18:46.940 --> 00:18:51.619
my data to a supervisor with human eyeballs because

00:18:51.619 --> 00:18:53.920
they would be like, we need to flag this one.

00:18:54.000 --> 00:19:00.160
Something's wrong. If it picks up on it, if it

00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.259
picks up on me, it's literally only going to

00:19:02.259 --> 00:19:05.519
get like men running around in shorts and then

00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:10.759
not that one. Hang on. This song. Spread it open

00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:12.779
and flick the bean. I'm Joey. I'm proud of the

00:19:12.779 --> 00:19:20.359
pussy queen. That's all it's picking up on. Yeah,

00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:23.119
I've got nothing to give. The government doesn't

00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:26.660
want to know. I've got nothing for them. They

00:19:26.660 --> 00:19:29.539
know that. It's like it's picking up on me in

00:19:29.539 --> 00:19:32.640
my mind. I don't know if you do this, like if

00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:35.140
it's a holdover from like third grade or whatever,

00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:36.940
but it's like me repeating to myself nine times

00:19:36.940 --> 00:19:40.660
five is 45. Like I do that a lot. Eight times

00:19:40.660 --> 00:19:45.539
eight is 64. It's literally, if they could examine

00:19:45.539 --> 00:19:47.980
the contents of my brain, right? I have so many

00:19:47.980 --> 00:19:52.319
song lyrics. Yes. Like, how boring. You don't

00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:56.460
need that. Go on Spotify. I've got, I remember

00:19:56.460 --> 00:20:00.059
weird stuff that I don't need to remember. Like,

00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.240
I can remember sequential numbers for a stupid

00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.519
amount of time. Nothing fun, babe. Nothing. I

00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:09.809
don't know how to make a bomb. I'm not going

00:20:09.809 --> 00:20:12.369
to. They know how to make a bomb. They don't

00:20:12.369 --> 00:20:16.630
need that for me. They have nuclear. They have

00:20:16.630 --> 00:20:19.670
all kinds of shit. I have no idea about. Do you

00:20:19.670 --> 00:20:21.710
think these people are thinking the flip side

00:20:21.710 --> 00:20:24.069
of that is that they are controlling our thoughts?

00:20:26.009 --> 00:20:29.130
Maybe. Well, I said the woman that like on TikTok,

00:20:29.329 --> 00:20:31.670
one of her like in that comment section was I

00:20:31.670 --> 00:20:33.630
haven't been able to get full through a full

00:20:33.630 --> 00:20:36.829
prayer. I have a feeling that that quickly goes

00:20:36.829 --> 00:20:39.529
down the rabbit hole of they're trying to control

00:20:39.529 --> 00:20:45.210
my religion. I put this one in there late, but

00:20:45.210 --> 00:20:51.309
did you see this TikTok of a woman who wrote

00:20:51.309 --> 00:20:56.529
a book about. All of the biblical reasons and

00:20:56.529 --> 00:20:59.569
the biblical citations of why Donald Trump was

00:20:59.569 --> 00:21:03.730
ordained by Jesus Christ or God himself to lead

00:21:03.730 --> 00:21:08.710
this country. Okay. I saw the TikTok, yeah. She

00:21:08.710 --> 00:21:14.549
puts this on TikTok and I was ready to rage like

00:21:14.549 --> 00:21:16.930
you would not believe. And then she proceeds

00:21:16.930 --> 00:21:20.769
to open up this book. And I think she did this

00:21:20.769 --> 00:21:22.430
on purpose because I think she like wanted to

00:21:22.430 --> 00:21:24.940
catch people and like. Get her over to Amazon

00:21:24.940 --> 00:21:27.339
or whatever. But she like proceeds to open a

00:21:27.339 --> 00:21:29.779
book with nothing but blank pages. And I said,

00:21:29.900 --> 00:21:32.339
oh, you got me. And I hang out. I want to find

00:21:32.339 --> 00:21:33.619
her name real quick because I actually do want

00:21:33.619 --> 00:21:36.079
to shout her out. I was ready to drag her within

00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:40.339
an inch of her life. Good, good gallery. OK,

00:21:40.740 --> 00:21:45.220
I like that. At the Diary of Rihanna. Is she

00:21:45.220 --> 00:21:48.400
a Rihanna fan page? I didn't catch that. I don't.

00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:50.980
I would hope so, because I would I think that

00:21:50.980 --> 00:21:53.579
most pages should be Rihanna fan pages. Because,

00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:59.839
you know, Rihanna is bad. Oh, yes. OK, yeah.

00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:04.920
The book is literally her TikTok bio. But her.

00:22:05.980 --> 00:22:09.079
Her TikTok bio is I heart Jesus cats and talking

00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:11.000
shit about diet culture and Christian nationalism.

00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:12.680
And I feel like we should try to get her on the

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:16.539
pod because she is our target demographic. Oh,

00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:18.619
100 percent. I'm trying to see how many copies

00:22:18.619 --> 00:22:26.960
she sold. I have it pulled up right now. Does

00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:31.049
it say? I don't know if Amazon tells you. I do

00:22:31.049 --> 00:22:35.970
know that it's got 111 reviews with a 4 .8 star

00:22:35.970 --> 00:22:39.289
average. I like that. Wait, I want to see who

00:22:39.289 --> 00:22:46.789
put no stars. Hold on. Oh, my God. I have to

00:22:46.789 --> 00:22:49.250
sign into Amazon to read the reviews. I wanted

00:22:49.250 --> 00:22:53.230
to see if someone fell for it. My God. Whatever.

00:22:53.990 --> 00:23:00.509
You get it. You get it. I would love to. I see

00:23:00.509 --> 00:23:03.170
like just the reaction of someone who's like,

00:23:03.210 --> 00:23:05.250
do you ever, I don't know if I've talked to you

00:23:05.250 --> 00:23:06.589
about this. I know I've talked to a couple of

00:23:06.589 --> 00:23:08.849
other people about this. The, um, that podcast,

00:23:08.970 --> 00:23:11.529
it's like the family, it's the two very liberal

00:23:11.529 --> 00:23:15.319
children with their. mega parents that it's called

00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:16.839
the necessary conversation if you've seen this

00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:20.460
I would love to see the dad or the mom's reaction

00:23:20.460 --> 00:23:23.099
to this book where they're like I'm gonna get

00:23:23.099 --> 00:23:26.500
a book about my friend Donald Trump and they

00:23:26.500 --> 00:23:28.440
open it up and it's stuff they put blank pages

00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:30.660
and they're like where are the bible verses that

00:23:30.660 --> 00:23:32.839
say he is supposed to lead this country into

00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:38.539
greatness so yeah I thought that was a funny

00:23:38.539 --> 00:23:43.130
little thing um oh the one star reviews are Missing

00:23:43.130 --> 00:23:46.390
the appendix with the Epstein files. It's a joke.

00:23:46.509 --> 00:23:48.750
The book is blank. It's been done before. Save

00:23:48.750 --> 00:23:52.430
your money. It's a money grab. Yes. And you spent

00:23:52.430 --> 00:23:54.869
your money on it, you stupid. It was barely usable

00:23:54.869 --> 00:23:57.730
as toilet paper. Love a good fiction book, but

00:23:57.730 --> 00:24:01.809
this was A .I. Slop. Don't think you opened the

00:24:01.809 --> 00:24:07.250
book, babe. It's a blank book, my love. I don't

00:24:07.250 --> 00:24:10.490
think that person knows what is going on, but

00:24:10.490 --> 00:24:16.309
yeah. Um, and then this, I feel like I've heard

00:24:16.309 --> 00:24:18.630
this one before and like, I don't know why it

00:24:18.630 --> 00:24:21.549
came up. It literally in my Apple news feed.

00:24:21.970 --> 00:24:26.190
Oh, it's like an old interview too. I know what

00:24:26.190 --> 00:24:28.250
you're talking about. Yeah. Um, hello. Kitty's

00:24:28.250 --> 00:24:35.950
not a cat, but she is in my heart. So like, isn't

00:24:35.950 --> 00:24:40.730
art. It's however you perceive it. It's interpreted

00:24:40.730 --> 00:24:43.750
by the viewer, and I choose Hello Kitty to be

00:24:43.750 --> 00:24:45.730
a cat because I think it's creepy that it's a

00:24:45.730 --> 00:24:47.450
little girl. I don't like that she's three apples

00:24:47.450 --> 00:24:51.450
tall if she's a human. First of all, she's five

00:24:51.450 --> 00:24:57.410
apples tall, and she weighs three apples. Well,

00:24:57.970 --> 00:25:02.230
I'm a fake fan anyway. Weird, weird, weird. I

00:25:02.230 --> 00:25:06.170
don't like it. I have a couple of questions.

00:25:07.019 --> 00:25:09.339
So she's actually a little this is from the from

00:25:09.339 --> 00:25:13.579
the People magazine interview of like. And I

00:25:13.579 --> 00:25:16.759
also didn't know Hello Kitty was like a Barbie

00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:19.799
level brand. Like, like it is a big deal. And

00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:24.970
I think it's. Also, I thought Hello Kitty existed

00:25:24.970 --> 00:25:29.069
in the same world in Japan that like Sailor Moon

00:25:29.069 --> 00:25:32.369
lived in. No, but there is a Sanrio world, which

00:25:32.369 --> 00:25:34.710
is why I think this is where it gets weird for

00:25:34.710 --> 00:25:37.130
me. And I don't really trust this random woman

00:25:37.130 --> 00:25:39.490
that they're interviewing because it's not a

00:25:39.490 --> 00:25:42.430
random woman. It is the PR person for Hello Kitty.

00:25:42.970 --> 00:25:48.750
In the Sanrio universe, how can we have them

00:25:48.750 --> 00:25:51.589
all look like different animals? If they're not

00:25:51.589 --> 00:25:53.390
animals, I don't understand. Is it a little girl

00:25:53.390 --> 00:25:56.289
that's dressing up as a cat? But then what about

00:25:56.289 --> 00:25:59.390
the rest of them? I can't I can't understand

00:25:59.390 --> 00:26:03.549
that. Like, is Melody also a girl? What about

00:26:03.549 --> 00:26:06.869
cinema role is? I have no idea what you're talking

00:26:06.869 --> 00:26:12.450
about here. Like, this is. Let me show you. Anyway.

00:26:12.589 --> 00:26:16.930
OK, so according to the People magazine article,

00:26:17.210 --> 00:26:20.609
she's. Hello Kitty is actually a little girl

00:26:20.609 --> 00:26:23.289
born and raised in the suburbs of London. She

00:26:23.289 --> 00:26:26.609
was from Japan. I remember that from my childhood.

00:26:27.690 --> 00:26:30.009
She has a mom and dad and a twin sister named

00:26:30.009 --> 00:26:32.250
Minnie, who is also her best friend. She enjoys

00:26:32.250 --> 00:26:35.869
baking cookies and making new friends. OK, number

00:26:35.869 --> 00:26:39.529
two, she weighs three apples and is five apples

00:26:39.529 --> 00:26:43.950
tall. How? Oh, OK, I know what you're talking

00:26:43.950 --> 00:26:46.289
about. OK, Emma just showed me. It doesn't make

00:26:46.289 --> 00:26:49.920
sense. Pictures of the Sanrio universe. Anime

00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:54.740
characters in my mind. Sure. But like, you can't

00:26:54.740 --> 00:26:58.579
tell me these are all people. No. So she she

00:26:58.579 --> 00:27:00.460
weighs three apples, but she's five apples tall.

00:27:00.579 --> 00:27:06.119
How are you taller than you weigh? Aren't you?

00:27:09.420 --> 00:27:12.920
If you're five apples tall, doesn't it stand

00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:17.289
to reason that you would weigh five apples? Why

00:27:17.289 --> 00:27:19.930
are we measuring in apples? It's supposed to

00:27:19.930 --> 00:27:23.230
be cutesy little girl fun time, but they fucked

00:27:23.230 --> 00:27:26.049
it all up by saying that she is a little girl.

00:27:26.289 --> 00:27:30.849
But also Hello Kitty has a pet cat named Charmy

00:27:30.849 --> 00:27:33.990
Kitty. Yeah, I did know that. Why is Hello Kitty?

00:27:35.630 --> 00:27:38.390
They haven't they never really clarified if she

00:27:38.390 --> 00:27:41.009
is like, is she wearing the Hello Kitty like

00:27:41.009 --> 00:27:45.269
hat head? Is that what I don't understand? There's

00:27:45.269 --> 00:27:48.549
a whole ass deer in the Sanrio universe. You're

00:27:48.549 --> 00:27:50.369
telling me that's a person too? No, probably

00:27:50.369 --> 00:27:53.529
not. That's probably her pet. Fire the PR lady.

00:27:53.670 --> 00:27:56.589
She was just trying to get attention, I think.

00:27:57.609 --> 00:28:00.950
Also, in my mind, it's always been a cartoon.

00:28:02.349 --> 00:28:05.970
It started as a children's coin purse in 1975.

00:28:06.150 --> 00:28:08.549
That's where Hello Kitty made her first appearance.

00:28:08.849 --> 00:28:14.359
It didn't start as a TV show. Hello Kitty was

00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:16.700
a TV show, though, right? I don't remember seeing

00:28:16.700 --> 00:28:20.019
Hello Kitty on TV, but it could be. Maybe I'm

00:28:20.019 --> 00:28:24.099
just making this up. But yeah, she's a little

00:28:24.099 --> 00:28:28.619
girl. Okay, so it was started in Tokyo, Japan.

00:28:29.059 --> 00:28:38.809
Yes. I feel like this... Do you know how J .K.

00:28:38.849 --> 00:28:41.650
Rowling and I don't respect her as a person anymore,

00:28:41.730 --> 00:28:45.069
but like I do respect the world she created with

00:28:45.069 --> 00:28:48.269
Harry Potter. Do you know how like she's given

00:28:48.269 --> 00:28:51.109
interviews and she's talked about like in her

00:28:51.109 --> 00:28:54.029
head? Oh, yeah. I just ignore all of that. Well,

00:28:54.109 --> 00:28:56.970
these characters still exist like and like there's

00:28:56.970 --> 00:28:59.480
a whole lore to them and like they're like. I

00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:02.500
ignore all of that. Really? Yeah. When she started

00:29:02.500 --> 00:29:05.240
talking about their sexualities and pissing me

00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:07.640
off, I was like, oh no. I'm talking about like,

00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:11.420
um, where like she, like she started, like she

00:29:11.420 --> 00:29:13.680
started writing Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's

00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:16.019
Stone and she knew how the books would end. Oh

00:29:16.019 --> 00:29:17.980
yeah, yeah, yeah. She knew the whole story at

00:29:17.980 --> 00:29:21.480
the beginning. I have to imagine that they put

00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:27.500
this cat on a coin purse in 1975. It sold really,

00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:29.490
really well. And they were like, oh, fuck now

00:29:29.490 --> 00:29:31.369
we have to come up with a story are you ready

00:29:31.369 --> 00:29:34.369
to complain I'm ready to complain and I don't

00:29:34.369 --> 00:29:36.369
even have to look to remember what I wrote down

00:29:36.369 --> 00:29:44.089
I am so upset I miss Jamie Ding on Jeopardy and

00:29:44.089 --> 00:29:48.289
I know that means nothing to you but just know

00:29:48.289 --> 00:29:52.170
okay let me talk about Jamie Ding for a second

00:29:52.170 --> 00:29:54.529
hi Jamie Ding if you listen to my podcast I'll

00:29:54.529 --> 00:29:59.559
faint every morning we watch Right. Because they

00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:02.200
come out once a week. I don't really. Right.

00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:04.660
We don't have to really pay attention to it.

00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:07.039
Yeah. It's beautiful. You can kind of turn your

00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:09.039
brain off, too. It's kind of like Ted Lasso in

00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:11.460
my mind. Yeah. It's feel good television. Yeah.

00:30:11.500 --> 00:30:15.180
There's there's nothing that makes me feel any

00:30:15.180 --> 00:30:19.319
type of way on Jeopardy. Yeah. Until Jamie Dean.

00:30:19.819 --> 00:30:24.650
He is the cutest little. Asian guy, probably

00:30:24.650 --> 00:30:28.410
like 30s who lives in New Jersey and is like,

00:30:28.410 --> 00:30:32.130
oh, you know, I love him school and he's a bureaucrat

00:30:32.130 --> 00:30:37.509
and he is so sweet. He's like the most likable

00:30:37.509 --> 00:30:41.049
person I've seen in years. Yeah. Love him to

00:30:41.049 --> 00:30:45.630
death. He goes on like like a 35 game streak

00:30:45.630 --> 00:30:48.970
or something. Oh, wow. So he was on our television

00:30:48.970 --> 00:30:54.000
for 35 weeks. Well, he's like they do one episode

00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:57.779
every weekday. So like six weeks. Oh, OK. And

00:30:57.779 --> 00:31:01.819
I was like, he's the next star. He is everything

00:31:01.819 --> 00:31:05.839
to me. Yes. Yes. And I'm like, please, please

00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:08.599
keep going. I love him so much. He's like really

00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:10.900
taken off on social media, but it's really kind

00:31:10.900 --> 00:31:14.880
of his sister. Oh, OK. Anyway, I'm complaining

00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:19.420
because he lost and the guy he lost to only lasted

00:31:19.420 --> 00:31:21.460
for two more games. And then the girl who beat

00:31:21.460 --> 00:31:24.539
him lost the next game. And I was like, so for

00:31:24.539 --> 00:31:28.000
what? He was so good. Jamie Dean was so good.

00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:32.119
And now we have to wait to see him again to see

00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:34.299
if they'll bring him back for like the tournament

00:31:34.299 --> 00:31:38.019
of champions or something. But I miss him. Oh,

00:31:38.140 --> 00:31:41.519
and that's what I'm complaining about. I'll take

00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:44.890
that. That's a good complaint. Yeah. I'm complaining

00:31:44.890 --> 00:31:48.769
about the fuck ass moderators on the 3D printing

00:31:48.769 --> 00:31:56.049
subreddit. Air them out. OK, so as I've talked

00:31:56.049 --> 00:31:58.690
about on this podcast, I bought a 3D printer.

00:31:58.789 --> 00:32:01.410
I love my 3D printer. I think it is the coolest

00:32:01.410 --> 00:32:06.170
thing I. like if they would have existed when

00:32:06.170 --> 00:32:08.509
I was a little kid, I probably would have gone

00:32:08.509 --> 00:32:10.829
into an entirely different industry because of

00:32:10.829 --> 00:32:16.650
how much I love my 3d printer. So as I am want

00:32:16.650 --> 00:32:20.890
to do, I go all in on it. I joined every cyber.

00:32:20.930 --> 00:32:22.950
It's the exact same thing I did when we started

00:32:22.950 --> 00:32:25.250
the podcast. I joined every podcast subreddit.

00:32:25.309 --> 00:32:27.150
I like, so when I bought my 3d printer, I joined

00:32:27.150 --> 00:32:31.509
every 3d printer subreddit. I like, I, I follow

00:32:31.509 --> 00:32:35.869
all of the TikTokers that do 3D printing. You

00:32:35.869 --> 00:32:38.549
know, I'm obsessed with that, that one YouTuber

00:32:38.549 --> 00:32:40.569
that does 3D printing. He's really, really hot.

00:32:40.690 --> 00:32:41.970
I don't know where he's from, from New Jersey.

00:32:43.789 --> 00:32:48.450
Love him. So I tried a new kind of filament to,

00:32:48.490 --> 00:32:50.309
and I was, I don't remember what I was 3D printing,

00:32:50.369 --> 00:32:52.009
but like I was, oh, I do remember what I was

00:32:52.009 --> 00:32:55.650
3D printing. It was, it was a Apple watch. holder

00:32:55.650 --> 00:32:58.269
so I could charge it like like mounted to my

00:32:58.269 --> 00:33:02.269
desk. Yeah. And like the filament would not print

00:33:02.269 --> 00:33:06.390
right. And so I think to myself, there's a community

00:33:06.390 --> 00:33:08.829
of 3D printers out there that can probably answer

00:33:08.829 --> 00:33:10.650
this question for me because I have done everything

00:33:10.650 --> 00:33:12.470
on God's green earth to make this print right.

00:33:12.589 --> 00:33:15.450
So I take a picture of the messed up 3D print.

00:33:15.950 --> 00:33:20.369
I give the settings that I was printing on. I

00:33:20.369 --> 00:33:25.410
give the brand and filament type and I. Go to

00:33:25.410 --> 00:33:27.809
the subreddit and I post. I said, hey, can anyone

00:33:27.809 --> 00:33:32.690
tell me what I'm doing wrong? Immediately, I

00:33:32.690 --> 00:33:35.549
get a message that says you've been banned from

00:33:35.549 --> 00:33:39.549
posting in the subreddit. I hate Reddit moderators

00:33:39.549 --> 00:33:43.839
for that reason. And I said. Did I do something

00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:47.000
wrong? Like, did I attach my nudes to this? I

00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:50.559
was like, what did I do? I was like, did I accidentally

00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:56.180
post from the wrong Reddit account? I was like,

00:33:56.200 --> 00:34:00.539
what did I do? So I go into the message. Do you

00:34:00.539 --> 00:34:02.839
want to know what the reason they banned me from

00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:05.819
posting in the subreddit was? You know already,

00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:09.880
but literally not having clout, not having enough

00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:13.219
karma. I said, what the fuck is that? What the

00:34:13.219 --> 00:34:15.579
fuck do you mean? What is karma? Like, first

00:34:15.579 --> 00:34:18.099
of all, I did. I've never heard this term before

00:34:18.099 --> 00:34:19.900
in my life. I didn't know what that meant. I

00:34:19.900 --> 00:34:22.440
had to Google what is what is Reddit karma? Oh,

00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:25.579
my God. Yeah. It's basically just upvotes, which

00:34:25.579 --> 00:34:27.519
is so fucking annoying. How are you supposed

00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:29.679
to get them if you can't post anywhere? But like,

00:34:29.699 --> 00:34:35.250
I was like. I want you, Mr. and Mrs. Reddit,

00:34:35.349 --> 00:34:38.590
to be so fucking for real right now. You, Mr.

00:34:39.389 --> 00:34:42.010
Moderator and the 3D Printer subreddit, you take

00:34:42.010 --> 00:34:45.150
yourself so seriously and you think your pussy

00:34:45.150 --> 00:34:49.789
is so pink that someone has to have a certain

00:34:49.789 --> 00:34:57.900
level of karma. To post in the 3D printer subreddit

00:34:57.900 --> 00:35:01.440
is like, go kill yourself. Stupid fucking rule,

00:35:01.539 --> 00:35:04.239
first of all, but also for breaking the rule,

00:35:04.340 --> 00:35:06.480
they didn't just take your post down. You are

00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:09.880
banned. I am banned from posting in that subreddit.

00:35:10.059 --> 00:35:12.760
Why can't they just take your post down? I would

00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:15.199
get banning you if you were like actually doing

00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:19.119
some vile shit or like if whatever. If you were

00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:24.139
being mean or sexual in the 3D printing space.

00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:27.159
That would be weird, yeah. Then ban them. But

00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:36.300
just asking a question? I've never seen anything

00:35:36.300 --> 00:35:41.139
like it. So, like, imagine this scenario. I'm

00:35:41.139 --> 00:35:43.539
on a throwaway Reddit account because I'm making

00:35:43.539 --> 00:35:46.250
my wife a gift. I need help with this and this.

00:35:46.309 --> 00:35:48.289
Please help me. But it's their first post because

00:35:48.289 --> 00:35:49.510
it's a throwaway account. They're banning you.

00:35:49.530 --> 00:35:53.050
They're banned. Oh, my God. Like, can you imagine?

00:35:53.670 --> 00:35:57.429
What is wrong with people? I don't get it. I've

00:35:57.429 --> 00:35:59.769
never seen anything like it. So that's what I'm

00:35:59.769 --> 00:36:01.929
complaining about today. 3D printing, Reddit,

00:36:02.210 --> 00:36:05.469
moderators, get a job. Get a grip. A real job

00:36:05.469 --> 00:36:10.190
that will pay you. Ugh. Okay. Are you ready for

00:36:10.190 --> 00:36:15.699
reality roundup? I am. I'm conflicted about this.

00:36:17.139 --> 00:36:19.119
Secret Lives and Mormon Wives is getting an Orange

00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:25.619
County spinoff. Yeah. So my take is a lot of

00:36:25.619 --> 00:36:28.679
the girls want to move to California. Sure. We've

00:36:28.679 --> 00:36:31.780
seen Jen's already moved, right? Whitney will

00:36:31.780 --> 00:36:34.699
want to move if she hasn't already. Well, Whitney's

00:36:34.699 --> 00:36:36.940
leaving Secret Lives entirely. She announced

00:36:36.940 --> 00:36:40.420
that on her closing show at Chicago on Broadway.

00:36:41.320 --> 00:36:43.780
which is beautiful for her she should have i

00:36:43.780 --> 00:36:47.940
think she's better off like i i saw her performing

00:36:47.940 --> 00:36:53.019
she is she looks happy she looks so happy she

00:36:53.019 --> 00:36:56.539
is far above that show yes she didn't need to

00:36:56.539 --> 00:37:00.800
be a reality tv villain like she can she can

00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:03.000
dance and she's fun and she's cute whatever it

00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:06.000
got her off the ground though fine and then michaela

00:37:07.190 --> 00:37:10.489
I've seen so many posts about her skin is doing

00:37:10.489 --> 00:37:13.849
better when she's traveling, which I think is

00:37:13.849 --> 00:37:17.010
her soft launch to also moving to California.

00:37:19.289 --> 00:37:21.929
Taylor Frankie Paul has to be out of the picture

00:37:21.929 --> 00:37:24.090
at this point. She's it's already been announced.

00:37:24.210 --> 00:37:26.050
She's not coming back for season five. Like they're

00:37:26.050 --> 00:37:27.690
cutting her out of season five. And thank God.

00:37:27.690 --> 00:37:31.849
But I still won't watch that fuck ass show. That's

00:37:31.849 --> 00:37:33.789
my take. I think they're just all moving to California

00:37:33.789 --> 00:37:40.309
anyway. So. I have a different take. A lot of

00:37:40.309 --> 00:37:42.969
producers from the Real Housewives universe,

00:37:43.110 --> 00:37:45.449
like because it's not it's not Bravo that produces

00:37:45.449 --> 00:37:46.710
the Real Housewives. It's different production

00:37:46.710 --> 00:37:49.989
companies. A bunch of those producers from all

00:37:49.989 --> 00:37:52.070
of the different production companies came over

00:37:52.070 --> 00:37:54.889
to produce Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Yeah,

00:37:54.949 --> 00:37:57.539
I think they are. desperately trying to turn

00:37:57.539 --> 00:37:59.800
this into the real housewives because they've

00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:02.619
seen how successful that is and like hulu wants

00:38:02.619 --> 00:38:05.719
to get in on that and hulu's already kind of

00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:08.380
cashing in on the lisa vanderpump of it all yeah

00:38:08.380 --> 00:38:12.500
so she's all over hulu yes all over the place

00:38:12.500 --> 00:38:15.480
which i love lisa vanderpump that's totally fine

00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:20.090
with me but i think if you're if you're going

00:38:20.090 --> 00:38:21.849
to sign up for this real house i was saying you

00:38:21.849 --> 00:38:24.449
have to be ready number one the fans are rabid

00:38:24.449 --> 00:38:26.949
like this like i'm like i'm talking like the

00:38:26.949 --> 00:38:29.150
new jersey fans of theresa judice like me with

00:38:29.150 --> 00:38:31.650
bethany frankel like you have to be ready like

00:38:31.650 --> 00:38:35.469
where some of them are going to feel very strongly

00:38:35.469 --> 00:38:38.760
about this and number two some of these cities

00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:41.900
are flops so like it's a lot of trial and error

00:38:41.900 --> 00:38:43.360
if you're if this is what you're trying to turn

00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:45.380
it into because i cannot imagine it's going to

00:38:45.380 --> 00:38:47.280
stop there because i've already seen some like

00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:50.559
rumblings about there's um in orlando they're

00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:52.460
trying to start them like their own iteration

00:38:52.460 --> 00:38:55.320
of mom talk and like i have to assume like that's

00:38:55.320 --> 00:38:57.260
like them trying to soft launch something there

00:38:57.260 --> 00:39:02.179
so i i wonder if it's they're trying to create

00:39:02.179 --> 00:39:05.769
a secret lives universe which is fine But just

00:39:05.769 --> 00:39:08.530
prepare yourself like it took a long time for

00:39:08.530 --> 00:39:10.730
housewives to get to where housewives is today.

00:39:10.949 --> 00:39:14.670
And they have a lot of work to do. The timeline

00:39:14.670 --> 00:39:21.969
of things, the editing, the I don't know. They

00:39:21.969 --> 00:39:26.449
just need to polish it a lot, a lot. But I also

00:39:26.449 --> 00:39:30.469
fear that like as much as I love Macy, as much

00:39:30.469 --> 00:39:34.139
as I love. She's better than being on reality

00:39:34.139 --> 00:39:38.159
TV, too. Actually, I don't know that anyone's

00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:42.619
better than reality TV. Like, there's no one

00:39:42.619 --> 00:39:45.199
better in this world than Portia Williams. But

00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:49.699
she's not cut out for it. Portia Williams was.

00:39:50.250 --> 00:39:52.769
born to be on the Real Housewives of Atlanta.

00:39:53.050 --> 00:39:56.070
100%. And I'm like, hey, Michelle, like everyone

00:39:56.070 --> 00:39:58.389
that's on Atlanta right now, everyone that's

00:39:58.389 --> 00:40:00.429
on Rhode Island right now, those women, they

00:40:00.429 --> 00:40:03.550
were born and bred for this. I think what you

00:40:03.550 --> 00:40:09.409
have with Mom Talk is a situation where they

00:40:09.409 --> 00:40:13.409
were very successful in one place in social media.

00:40:13.489 --> 00:40:15.090
So like, let's put them on TV because there is

00:40:15.090 --> 00:40:17.389
some interesting stuff there. Yeah. I think without

00:40:17.389 --> 00:40:19.570
Taylor Frankie Paul, the show is not going to.

00:40:19.769 --> 00:40:26.650
be successful no i fear no no one's i mean because

00:40:26.650 --> 00:40:31.010
like i love macy right but she's not holding

00:40:31.010 --> 00:40:33.409
she's not carrying that child like she's carrying

00:40:33.409 --> 00:40:38.489
scenes she thank the lord and whoever you believe

00:40:38.489 --> 00:40:41.750
in doesn't have that much drama at home so it's

00:40:41.750 --> 00:40:43.710
like what like there's nothing to watch which

00:40:43.710 --> 00:40:46.190
is beautiful i don't want her to have drama she's

00:40:46.190 --> 00:40:50.789
a peaceful queen i just And I like Macy. I like

00:40:50.789 --> 00:40:54.429
her on. We need to get her book still. We do

00:40:54.429 --> 00:40:59.510
need to get her book. She doesn't carry the show

00:40:59.510 --> 00:41:04.690
because she's unproblematic in a way that. She's

00:41:04.690 --> 00:41:08.570
beautiful and smart and even keeled, which is

00:41:08.570 --> 00:41:13.570
not what you need on reality TV. And even someone

00:41:13.570 --> 00:41:16.590
like Michaela, who I struggled so much with,

00:41:16.610 --> 00:41:19.099
she. She was good for reality TV because she's

00:41:19.099 --> 00:41:23.480
like, I hate. She'll let it out. Yeah. Like I

00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:28.039
hate Whitney. Whitney. She hated Whitney. Yes.

00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:32.320
And like they they she hated Whitney. And that

00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:36.219
carried half of season two, by the way. Yeah.

00:41:36.460 --> 00:41:40.280
She and she's funny. She's like sticking a jab

00:41:40.280 --> 00:41:43.880
or whatever. And she's funny. But I don't know

00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:46.619
that like. If you're putting her with a new group

00:41:46.619 --> 00:41:49.639
of women, I don't want her to be. I hate someone

00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:51.480
else because it's like it's like Teresa Giudice

00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:53.260
and Melissa Gorg all over again. I don't want

00:41:53.260 --> 00:41:55.840
to. I can't watch it. I'm sorry. And I think

00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:59.300
I think I like her like as a person. It's just

00:41:59.300 --> 00:42:02.579
like I love her on TikTok. I love her on TikTok.

00:42:02.659 --> 00:42:05.320
Yeah. It's just like the same way that I would

00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:08.300
not make a good reality TV show. A lot of the

00:42:08.300 --> 00:42:11.320
girls on there would not by themselves. Look

00:42:11.320 --> 00:42:13.679
at Demi. If there's no one for her to be able

00:42:13.679 --> 00:42:18.349
to. Who cares? Also, if there is someone for

00:42:18.349 --> 00:42:22.110
her to be evil to, I don't want to watch Demi.

00:42:22.130 --> 00:42:25.530
I know, me neither. I have a feeling, because

00:42:25.530 --> 00:42:28.469
they tried really hard in season one to build

00:42:28.469 --> 00:42:31.210
the show around her and Taylor. I'm not interested

00:42:31.210 --> 00:42:34.690
in watching Demi. I'm so sorry. No. I hate her.

00:42:34.829 --> 00:42:37.349
I liked her the first season, but I think it

00:42:37.349 --> 00:42:39.230
was literally just because I thought she was

00:42:39.230 --> 00:42:45.239
so pretty. I hate how pretty she is. Like she's

00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:49.519
stunningly gorgeous. Yeah. But like, I hate it

00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:52.760
because I'm just like, get off my TV. I hate

00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:56.820
you. And by the way, she is gorgeous. That's

00:42:56.820 --> 00:42:58.860
not her face. I think about that every time I

00:42:58.860 --> 00:43:02.460
think about her. That's so crazy. Whoever did

00:43:02.460 --> 00:43:05.059
her work honestly did a wonderful job because

00:43:05.059 --> 00:43:07.519
I can't tell she got a new face, but she totally

00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:12.300
did. So there's that. I don't know. I don't.

00:43:12.940 --> 00:43:16.679
I don't know. And first of all, I Orange County

00:43:16.679 --> 00:43:18.719
does feel like a choice for that because of how

00:43:18.719 --> 00:43:22.139
conservative it is. I don't love. I just feel

00:43:22.139 --> 00:43:25.260
like it's not made for me anymore. It's not like

00:43:25.260 --> 00:43:27.659
I'll see the posts about it on social media and

00:43:27.659 --> 00:43:32.719
that'll be enough for me. I just really I mean,

00:43:32.820 --> 00:43:35.619
even getting through what season season three

00:43:35.619 --> 00:43:38.320
was the last one we watched. I didn't really.

00:43:38.860 --> 00:43:42.619
enjoy watching the back half of it no and I think

00:43:42.619 --> 00:43:45.599
the show needed Taylor but I was over Taylor

00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:53.260
anyway I'm over her I think her what her charm

00:43:53.260 --> 00:43:55.800
is like was ultimately her detriment because

00:43:55.800 --> 00:43:57.539
like it's like the whole thing of like I'm showing

00:43:57.539 --> 00:44:02.500
up in sweatpants and a bodysuit and like I'm

00:44:02.500 --> 00:44:06.360
cool and like but like it just felt like She

00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:08.659
was almost too cool for it all. And like, oh,

00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:11.420
she stuck her nose up at those girls. And she

00:44:11.420 --> 00:44:14.119
said as much like in her interviews, like you

00:44:14.119 --> 00:44:16.719
can just tell. She's like, I'm the boss here.

00:44:17.019 --> 00:44:20.699
Everybody wants to be me. Which is a character.

00:44:20.820 --> 00:44:24.179
That's cool. Sure. Whatever. Stop throwing chairs

00:44:24.179 --> 00:44:28.300
at your kids. We did talk about that. I have

00:44:28.300 --> 00:44:31.420
not been able to get over. I'll never forget

00:44:31.420 --> 00:44:34.179
that. I hope I never see her fucking face again.

00:44:34.380 --> 00:44:35.820
And there, but here's the thing. There are two

00:44:35.820 --> 00:44:38.500
sides to this. We're like, I watched that and

00:44:38.500 --> 00:44:41.199
I see a woman who's been gaslit within an inch

00:44:41.199 --> 00:44:45.320
of her life and that, but like when you're pushed

00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:47.820
to that point, like I, and this is something,

00:44:47.980 --> 00:44:50.519
take your kid and leave. And like, this is something

00:44:50.519 --> 00:44:54.800
where like, you've talked about like how, like

00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:57.039
sometimes you just have to like put August down

00:44:57.039 --> 00:45:00.840
and like, just like think for a little bit. She

00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:05.619
does not have that... I don't know if it's maturity.

00:45:05.940 --> 00:45:08.420
She just doesn't have that thing about her where

00:45:08.420 --> 00:45:10.920
it's like, I can remove myself from a situation.

00:45:11.340 --> 00:45:17.969
And I can understand that, but like... I can't

00:45:17.969 --> 00:45:20.590
forgive her I can't forgive her and I know that

00:45:20.590 --> 00:45:25.050
they're in court right now and obviously we knew

00:45:25.050 --> 00:45:27.789
going in that like Dakota was pushing her buttons

00:45:27.789 --> 00:45:31.110
obviously and that's the other thing too is like

00:45:31.110 --> 00:45:35.650
there is not a person listening to you and me

00:45:35.650 --> 00:45:39.269
of all people who have we've all been like in

00:45:39.269 --> 00:45:41.769
toxic relationships that like it's just it's

00:45:41.769 --> 00:45:44.789
so good that like you can't get away from it

00:45:44.789 --> 00:45:48.559
and we've all talked out of character like everyone

00:45:48.559 --> 00:45:51.940
i know has screamed and hollered and yelled yes

00:45:51.940 --> 00:45:56.960
as soon as you start feeling your body getting

00:45:56.960 --> 00:46:01.519
enraged like as soon as you feel like you might

00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:06.679
not have control how do you as a mother and an

00:46:06.679 --> 00:46:12.760
adult not just sit down like you have to you

00:46:12.760 --> 00:46:17.369
have to I just can't. I'll never get over it.

00:46:17.449 --> 00:46:20.190
I really hope I never see her again. Well, and

00:46:20.190 --> 00:46:22.090
part of me feels bad for her because I'm just

00:46:22.090 --> 00:46:23.889
like, she'll never get up. Like, she'll never

00:46:23.889 --> 00:46:26.010
let that down. She had a chance. She already

00:46:26.010 --> 00:46:29.809
got arrested for domestic violence. Well, that's

00:46:29.809 --> 00:46:31.969
what this video was over. Like, that's when this

00:46:31.969 --> 00:46:35.030
video was from. Really? Yes. I don't think it

00:46:35.030 --> 00:46:37.610
is. I think that's more recent. He had held on

00:46:37.610 --> 00:46:40.449
to that video since that night. I thought there

00:46:40.449 --> 00:46:43.130
was another video. Because we've seen videos

00:46:43.130 --> 00:46:45.570
from the day she got arrested and she's not in

00:46:45.570 --> 00:46:50.369
like the same. I don't know. I could be completely

00:46:50.369 --> 00:46:54.570
wrong. Mama, let's research. But I hate the whole

00:46:54.570 --> 00:46:59.429
thing. Anyway, the next second chance was getting

00:46:59.429 --> 00:47:01.530
arrested and then getting a reality TV show.

00:47:01.630 --> 00:47:06.090
That was her second chance. And if this is from

00:47:06.090 --> 00:47:12.139
her initial arrest, why didn't she? Warn anyone

00:47:12.139 --> 00:47:18.119
Her millions of fans I have to assume What was

00:47:18.119 --> 00:47:23.199
happening there Was Like where Hindsight is 20

00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:25.599
-20 You could have taken all the power away from

00:47:25.599 --> 00:47:28.440
Dakota You could have put out a restraining order

00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:33.860
And you could have said We are done But she kept

00:47:33.860 --> 00:47:39.210
letting him back in And I think that was ultimately

00:47:39.210 --> 00:47:44.329
the downfall where like it's a toxic man. But

00:47:44.329 --> 00:47:48.869
yeah, there we are. So if anyone out there is

00:47:48.869 --> 00:47:50.989
watching the Orange County spinoff, let us know.

00:47:51.150 --> 00:47:59.269
But next thing on my list. Amanda Francis is

00:47:59.269 --> 00:48:01.769
I don't know if you've watched any of the Real

00:48:01.769 --> 00:48:06.000
Housewives of Beverly Hills because you. Sorry,

00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:07.900
backtracking because I found it really fast.

00:48:09.019 --> 00:48:14.039
Following a March 2026 incident, both parties

00:48:14.039 --> 00:48:18.000
filed for protective orders. Dakota was granted

00:48:18.000 --> 00:48:22.739
primary custody of ever. Oh, my God. Can you

00:48:22.739 --> 00:48:25.539
imagine giving that man of all people custody?

00:48:25.579 --> 00:48:28.260
It's that bad. Taylor's visitation is supervised.

00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:33.539
Jesus Christ. And she only gets 68 hours, six

00:48:33.539 --> 00:48:38.119
to eight hours a week. That's insane. Yeah. Well,

00:48:38.260 --> 00:48:42.239
now we know. This is separate from the 2023 physical

00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:47.320
altercation. This is separate from the body cam

00:48:47.320 --> 00:49:03.559
footage from that same. Well, now we know. I

00:49:03.559 --> 00:49:07.900
don't know if you've watched. Where was it? Oh,

00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:09.599
I don't know if you've watched The Real Housewives

00:49:09.599 --> 00:49:12.940
of Beverly Hills. Yeah, but not. I've heard it

00:49:12.940 --> 00:49:14.460
was so bad that I haven't watched it. It has

00:49:14.460 --> 00:49:17.440
gotten. I watched. So I watched the premiere

00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:22.480
with Husbands Watching Housewives. Yeah. I watched,

00:49:22.500 --> 00:49:24.179
I think, two or three episodes after that. I

00:49:24.179 --> 00:49:26.019
haven't been able to watch this season. Like,

00:49:26.039 --> 00:49:28.539
it's become. I just heard it's really. Unwatchable.

00:49:28.699 --> 00:49:31.960
Yeah. And like I and this is like Scott and Jeff,

00:49:32.059 --> 00:49:33.639
if you're listening to this, I'm sorry. And I

00:49:33.639 --> 00:49:37.840
know Kyle is your girl, but like Kyle is to me

00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:41.539
most of the problem with this show or like I

00:49:41.539 --> 00:49:45.039
can't like I it's it feels like she has a chokehold

00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:47.780
on production. And to be fair, Beverly Hills,

00:49:47.780 --> 00:49:50.300
since Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson have left,

00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:53.000
I think it's had this problem where like they

00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:57.719
take. They take one thing and that one thing

00:49:57.719 --> 00:50:00.539
becomes the entire fight of a season. We're like

00:50:00.539 --> 00:50:07.079
on Rhode Island, on Miami, on New York, on Potomac.

00:50:07.099 --> 00:50:12.239
Like it's it feels like they get into something

00:50:12.239 --> 00:50:14.579
new every week and like they don't like they

00:50:14.579 --> 00:50:17.219
don't live in a fight. But some of them like

00:50:17.219 --> 00:50:19.179
linger. But yeah, there's always something new

00:50:19.179 --> 00:50:21.889
going on. Yes. And I think that's the problem

00:50:21.889 --> 00:50:24.409
is like where we have in Beverly Hills. That's

00:50:24.409 --> 00:50:26.769
why it's become unwatchable for me. That being

00:50:26.769 --> 00:50:29.949
said, there is one of the housewives named Amanda

00:50:29.949 --> 00:50:33.949
Francis who fancies herself a manifesting queen.

00:50:37.309 --> 00:50:42.070
I have certain feelings about manifesting, but

00:50:42.070 --> 00:50:45.829
I'm going to keep them to myself. I won't. I

00:50:45.829 --> 00:50:50.019
think it's real, but not for the reason. people

00:50:50.019 --> 00:50:52.460
think it's real anyway but you're not paying

00:50:52.460 --> 00:50:55.780
Amanda Francis $900 a month so like yeah so this

00:50:55.780 --> 00:50:59.480
is the thing is Amanda Francis like started this

00:50:59.480 --> 00:51:02.559
company where she's like coaching people on manifesting

00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:04.559
I don't know what the whole the whole racket

00:51:04.559 --> 00:51:08.000
is but like it is it's like her thing is like

00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:10.800
become a money queen become rich AF become religious

00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:16.059
AF like it's all that religious AF is like it's

00:51:16.059 --> 00:51:23.530
so funny in itself yes And like it's cutesy,

00:51:23.570 --> 00:51:27.550
it's whatever. But like she there's a scene from

00:51:27.550 --> 00:51:29.670
when they're in Italy and she's talking to Rachel

00:51:29.670 --> 00:51:34.969
Zoe about how they have the lowest refund rate

00:51:34.969 --> 00:51:42.130
in the industry. And that's why she knows she's

00:51:42.130 --> 00:51:45.650
successful. And I would like to point to because

00:51:45.650 --> 00:51:49.659
I saw this and I said. Something doesn't feel

00:51:49.659 --> 00:51:51.940
right here because you don't talk about your

00:51:51.940 --> 00:51:56.039
refund rate unless unless something's off. So

00:51:56.039 --> 00:51:58.460
I did a little digging and I went to her terms

00:51:58.460 --> 00:52:00.400
and conditions on her website. Do you want to

00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:02.739
know what the terms and conditions say? I'll

00:52:02.739 --> 00:52:06.860
tell you. Hang on, because I read them line by

00:52:06.860 --> 00:52:11.179
line. Her refund rate is below three percent

00:52:11.179 --> 00:52:13.440
because you can only request a refund within

00:52:13.440 --> 00:52:18.349
48 hours of the purchase. If you've accessed

00:52:18.349 --> 00:52:21.010
any of the content, you can't request a refund.

00:52:21.690 --> 00:52:24.289
And the whole thing is like pushing you to the

00:52:24.289 --> 00:52:28.889
next like the next section. So it's a metric

00:52:28.889 --> 00:52:30.769
that has nothing to do with satisfaction. And

00:52:30.769 --> 00:52:32.969
it's more about not allowing someone to realize

00:52:32.969 --> 00:52:35.550
that they that it was a shakedown for cash until

00:52:35.550 --> 00:52:38.570
they realize that there's no value in it. And

00:52:38.570 --> 00:52:41.889
the Internet is currently dragging her to hell

00:52:41.889 --> 00:52:45.260
and back. And I feel like it's completely warranted.

00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:47.760
And I'll just end this on because I don't want

00:52:47.760 --> 00:52:49.760
to give Amanda Francis any more life. Like I

00:52:49.760 --> 00:52:53.500
I thought she was going to be a very good housewife

00:52:53.500 --> 00:52:55.019
because I thought she was going to come in. I

00:52:55.019 --> 00:52:56.559
thought she was going to give Dorit and Kyle

00:52:56.559 --> 00:52:58.860
a run for their money, because I think those

00:52:58.860 --> 00:53:04.619
those two have really they haven't been taken

00:53:04.619 --> 00:53:06.340
down in a way that I think they need to. And

00:53:06.340 --> 00:53:08.900
I swear I thought if Erica Jane wasn't going

00:53:08.900 --> 00:53:10.719
to do it, I thought Amanda Francis and Rachel

00:53:10.719 --> 00:53:15.980
Zoe were going to do it. I was wrong, but I would

00:53:15.980 --> 00:53:19.420
also imagine that Jennifer Shaw and Tom Girardi

00:53:19.420 --> 00:53:22.579
had a pretty low refund rate, too. Like I want

00:53:22.579 --> 00:53:25.920
an investigation. That's where I'm at with that.

00:53:27.320 --> 00:53:31.199
OK, are you ready to jump into? We're really

00:53:31.199 --> 00:53:33.059
close to the end of season one of The Real Housewives

00:53:33.059 --> 00:53:36.820
of Salt Lake City, and you have to decide what

00:53:36.820 --> 00:53:42.139
season we're doing next. Yeah, so that's. Hold

00:53:42.139 --> 00:53:48.039
on. Here's my, here's my struggle. What's your

00:53:48.039 --> 00:53:52.079
struggle? Do we stay within the real housewives

00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:54.880
universe or do we go to the greater Bravo verse?

00:53:55.940 --> 00:53:59.119
You tell me. I don't care. I also, I'm going

00:53:59.119 --> 00:54:03.000
to tell you, I, um, nerded out a little bit.

00:54:03.079 --> 00:54:10.719
I found, um, so the, there's like, a competitor

00:54:10.719 --> 00:54:14.099
of imdb that is called the movie database and

00:54:14.099 --> 00:54:19.260
like it has episodes of like every episode of

00:54:19.260 --> 00:54:22.519
shows and like their ratings or whatever um i

00:54:22.519 --> 00:54:28.820
ran an api script in python to like to pick out

00:54:28.820 --> 00:54:33.440
all of the bravo like reality show episodes and

00:54:33.440 --> 00:54:36.460
like i'm like reworking our website to like Do

00:54:36.460 --> 00:54:41.360
that. Well, to like have the episode of like

00:54:41.360 --> 00:54:43.599
the Real Housewives or whatever. Like and it's

00:54:43.599 --> 00:54:45.260
like, OK, this is the episode that we talked

00:54:45.260 --> 00:54:46.920
about that on. I'm like, I'm figuring out how

00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:51.639
I want that to look. But I I've I went to a place

00:54:51.639 --> 00:54:57.980
of coding to like figure this out. And I hate

00:54:57.980 --> 00:55:02.400
myself a little bit, but it's really kind. We'll

00:55:02.400 --> 00:55:04.400
do whatever you want. I don't care. Maybe we

00:55:04.400 --> 00:55:07.079
should do something you haven't watched this

00:55:07.079 --> 00:55:11.500
time. OK, I have not watched. There's a lot.

00:55:11.579 --> 00:55:13.639
I haven't watched Summer House. I've not. I haven't

00:55:13.639 --> 00:55:16.599
watched most of Vanderpump Rules. I haven't watched.

00:55:19.039 --> 00:55:24.659
What? That means you probably haven't seen like

00:55:24.659 --> 00:55:28.900
season two or three of Vanderpump Rules. I've

00:55:28.900 --> 00:55:32.300
seen like half of season one. I like. Oh, my

00:55:32.300 --> 00:55:38.820
God. You didn't. Vanderpump Rules is a product

00:55:38.820 --> 00:55:41.920
of its time. Yes, it is. I remember watching

00:55:41.920 --> 00:55:46.480
that first season and they just said whatever

00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:49.000
words they had at their disposal. Right. And

00:55:49.000 --> 00:55:53.420
reality TV was still kind of new if it wasn't

00:55:53.420 --> 00:55:58.380
like a very scripted like TLC type show. it takes

00:55:58.380 --> 00:56:00.159
a minute for them to get on their feet. Okay.

00:56:00.239 --> 00:56:04.519
So like the first season, the first season is

00:56:04.519 --> 00:56:11.099
a hard watch kind of, but then it's just chaos.

00:56:11.159 --> 00:56:13.400
You have to watch it. Well, let's watch Vanderbilt.

00:56:13.460 --> 00:56:16.500
We'll do Vanderbilt girls next. It's like before

00:56:16.500 --> 00:56:18.960
anyone cared about being politically correct.

00:56:19.039 --> 00:56:22.159
And you have Jax Taylor. Well, I remember Jax

00:56:22.159 --> 00:56:26.389
Taylor, like the whole. The whole shtick was

00:56:26.389 --> 00:56:28.170
like he was falling in love with like all the

00:56:28.170 --> 00:56:30.250
women that he worked with. And it's like I've

00:56:30.250 --> 00:56:32.929
known them for six minutes and I really, really

00:56:32.929 --> 00:56:35.829
like them. It's like that thing of like. Oh,

00:56:35.889 --> 00:56:37.949
yeah. You met someone at church camp and you

00:56:37.949 --> 00:56:40.730
really, really like. I think when he says really,

00:56:40.829 --> 00:56:43.150
really likes, he means he really, really would

00:56:43.150 --> 00:56:48.130
like to fuck them. Oh, yeah. It's TV gold. It

00:56:48.130 --> 00:56:51.170
really, truly is. I don't think they knew what

00:56:51.170 --> 00:56:55.260
they were. coming out they had no idea who they

00:56:55.260 --> 00:56:57.019
were gonna be let's do you want to do season

00:56:57.019 --> 00:56:59.800
one of we should do like season two or maybe

00:56:59.800 --> 00:57:02.719
season three okay i'm gonna look over the episodes

00:57:02.719 --> 00:57:05.599
and then decide okay they really do have true

00:57:05.599 --> 00:57:09.340
drama on that show they do and like i remember

00:57:09.340 --> 00:57:12.579
back to like They went to Hawaii and Jax got

00:57:12.579 --> 00:57:14.760
arrested for stealing sunglasses. Like, I remember

00:57:14.760 --> 00:57:17.460
that being a headline. Like, let's do let's do

00:57:17.460 --> 00:57:19.099
Vanderbilt rules. Like, and you pick the season,

00:57:19.179 --> 00:57:22.760
whatever you want. Also, this is something that

00:57:22.760 --> 00:57:24.400
we probably should have mentioned at the top

00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:26.300
of the show. And like, this is probably something

00:57:26.300 --> 00:57:27.960
that I haven't discussed with you fully yet.

00:57:28.440 --> 00:57:33.300
We're reworking the like the format of Best Year

00:57:33.300 --> 00:57:36.699
Approved. So I in the beginning of this, I wanted

00:57:36.699 --> 00:57:42.170
to. Like everyone knows that like reality TV

00:57:42.170 --> 00:57:46.449
is like is my love language. And I like if we're

00:57:46.449 --> 00:57:49.130
looking at the stats of it, the reality roundup,

00:57:49.150 --> 00:57:52.690
like people do skip to it very quickly. But like

00:57:52.690 --> 00:57:54.889
they're like half of the people will listen to

00:57:54.889 --> 00:57:57.869
the full episode. So what I the plan is to like

00:57:57.869 --> 00:58:01.909
break up like our like pop culture, like political

00:58:01.909 --> 00:58:04.150
commentary and like reality roundup is going

00:58:04.150 --> 00:58:08.000
to become its own episode. It also gives you

00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:10.079
more episodes to like flip through. Well, it

00:58:10.079 --> 00:58:13.320
gives you more episodes. They're more digestible

00:58:13.320 --> 00:58:16.059
because like it's the standard episode for us

00:58:16.059 --> 00:58:17.380
right now is like an hour and a half. So it like

00:58:17.380 --> 00:58:20.440
breaks down to like 45 minutes. It's quicker.

00:58:20.699 --> 00:58:23.000
It's and I think it becomes lighter. And like

00:58:23.000 --> 00:58:25.599
also it gives people like if if if your thing

00:58:25.599 --> 00:58:27.760
is reality roundup, I want you to have that.

00:58:28.139 --> 00:58:31.300
And also for us, like we can blow through an

00:58:31.300 --> 00:58:33.679
entire season in a couple of days and like we

00:58:33.679 --> 00:58:35.960
have that to like release. And so it's like more

00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:40.039
consistent. Um, but be prepared for that. Cause

00:58:40.039 --> 00:58:42.599
I'm very excited for that. Like, I like that

00:58:42.599 --> 00:58:45.780
too. Yeah. I think the opposite also exists.

00:58:46.300 --> 00:58:50.820
Like definitely within my family who listens,

00:58:51.079 --> 00:58:54.860
um, where they like, don't watch reality TV,

00:58:55.000 --> 00:58:57.260
but just want to listen to us yap on the podcast.

00:58:57.300 --> 00:58:59.300
So they might like the other part. You know what

00:58:59.300 --> 00:59:02.579
I mean? The thing is like a lot of the feedback

00:59:02.579 --> 00:59:07.480
that we get is, um, like I like just listening

00:59:07.480 --> 00:59:11.119
to them talk and like yeah and like it's it's

00:59:11.119 --> 00:59:12.400
like we're hanging out with the best friends

00:59:12.400 --> 00:59:14.420
it's like we're doing the thing and like and

00:59:14.420 --> 00:59:16.599
I will tell you like the episodes that we have

00:59:16.599 --> 00:59:18.659
with husbands watching housewives are very successful

00:59:18.659 --> 00:59:21.460
like some of the episodes that I've done is like

00:59:21.460 --> 00:59:25.800
just talking with whoever though aren't as successful

00:59:25.800 --> 00:59:28.360
because like I think it loses that like thing

00:59:28.360 --> 00:59:32.119
with us yeah and we got to give the people what

00:59:32.119 --> 00:59:35.480
they want but yeah I'm excited about that Yeah,

00:59:35.559 --> 00:59:37.659
me too. And I'm also excited to watch Vanderpump

00:59:37.659 --> 00:59:40.699
Rules because that is a group of children who

00:59:40.699 --> 00:59:43.320
had no idea that they had cameras on them for

00:59:43.320 --> 00:59:46.480
a while. And no business being on TV, which is

00:59:46.480 --> 00:59:50.159
perfect. And like, whatever season we watch,

00:59:50.239 --> 00:59:52.079
and I don't remember which season this was, I

00:59:52.079 --> 00:59:55.179
needed to start with the season where Stassi

00:59:55.179 --> 00:59:57.840
looked... I don't remember who she was looking

00:59:57.840 --> 00:59:59.820
dead in the face. And she goes, I am the devil.

01:00:00.199 --> 01:00:02.980
And you better remember that. Stassi Schroeder.

01:00:03.139 --> 01:00:04.920
God. I'm like, do you want to know something

01:00:04.920 --> 01:00:09.219
about her? She has grown into. An incredible

01:00:09.219 --> 01:00:12.239
mother, an incredible, just like stunning, kind,

01:00:12.380 --> 01:00:15.280
generous, beautiful woman. Yeah. She was just

01:00:15.280 --> 01:00:17.539
in her early twenties and the whole premise is

01:00:17.539 --> 01:00:19.840
these kids are trying to make it in Hollywood.

01:00:20.300 --> 01:00:22.920
And Lisa Vanderpump will hire them to work at

01:00:22.920 --> 01:00:25.760
the restaurant, but let them like go on auditions

01:00:25.760 --> 01:00:28.239
and stuff so they can pay the bills, but also

01:00:28.239 --> 01:00:31.619
like do what they want to do. That is the perfect

01:00:31.619 --> 01:00:37.039
place to start filming bullshit. I'm excited.

01:00:37.099 --> 01:00:40.559
I can't wait. And she, yeah, she was just, you

01:00:40.559 --> 01:00:44.579
know, I think she thought she was going to be

01:00:44.579 --> 01:00:47.320
a star. Like, and she was. She became a star.

01:00:47.380 --> 01:00:49.139
Like, she knew she was going to become a star.

01:00:49.199 --> 01:00:51.460
She had no idea in what capacity. She had no

01:00:51.460 --> 01:00:53.400
idea what avenue she was going to go down to

01:00:53.400 --> 01:00:55.519
become a star. She just knew that she was going

01:00:55.519 --> 01:00:58.039
to get there. Right. And she was not going to

01:00:58.039 --> 01:01:00.940
take shit from fucking anyone on the way there.

01:01:01.139 --> 01:01:04.659
I love it. God. Not even Lisa Vanderpump. I love

01:01:04.659 --> 01:01:07.860
the scenes where Stassi is like. in a meeting

01:01:07.860 --> 01:01:10.760
with Lisa and still being a bitch. Oh, do you

01:01:10.760 --> 01:01:13.360
remember? She's like meeting with Lisa Vanderpump.

01:01:13.480 --> 01:01:16.039
And was it Kristen? Dodie comes up and she's

01:01:16.039 --> 01:01:18.400
like, can I get you anything to drink? And she

01:01:18.400 --> 01:01:19.800
goes, I don't know what I've done to you, but

01:01:19.800 --> 01:01:25.239
I'll take a Pinot Grigio. She did not care. Not

01:01:25.239 --> 01:01:29.340
at all. I'm excited about that. She was always

01:01:29.340 --> 01:01:31.860
my favorite, even when she's the worst. Yeah.

01:01:32.059 --> 01:01:35.139
And she was always the worst. Of course. Okay.

01:01:36.139 --> 01:01:38.320
All right. So today we're getting into The Real

01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:40.139
Housewives of Salt Lake City season one, episode

01:01:40.139 --> 01:01:47.780
12, Centers in the City. Yes. This Vegas trip

01:01:47.780 --> 01:01:50.739
was an experience. It really is like the peak

01:01:50.739 --> 01:01:54.420
of this season. It is. Because I don't think

01:01:54.420 --> 01:01:57.139
because this was all filmed before COVID. This

01:01:57.139 --> 01:02:03.110
was. Yeah. I think these. Women had no idea what

01:02:03.110 --> 01:02:08.010
they were about to become. And. Let's just get

01:02:08.010 --> 01:02:10.429
into it. Yeah. So we pick up where we left off

01:02:10.429 --> 01:02:12.889
in Vegas after Jen and Heather's shopping experience.

01:02:14.469 --> 01:02:16.349
Whitney goes straight up to Heather's room to

01:02:16.349 --> 01:02:18.730
unpack the race car driving experience. I think

01:02:18.730 --> 01:02:20.250
she's still like on a little bit of a high from

01:02:20.250 --> 01:02:23.789
that. And she's like feeling good because she

01:02:23.789 --> 01:02:25.590
kind of like buried the hatchet with Lisa and

01:02:25.590 --> 01:02:28.409
Meredith. Like everything's good there. And.

01:02:29.980 --> 01:02:32.679
Then we're getting cuts back and forth of like

01:02:32.679 --> 01:02:37.380
Lisa and Meredith are showing up to to the to

01:02:37.380 --> 01:02:41.079
the dinner. So we're getting that. And Heather,

01:02:41.139 --> 01:02:43.579
when you're talking about. lisa and meredith

01:02:43.579 --> 01:02:45.619
and like how that went and they all seem like

01:02:45.619 --> 01:02:47.739
they found resolution and they're moving on from

01:02:47.739 --> 01:02:49.460
their fight and i love this for them and then

01:02:49.460 --> 01:02:52.400
heather tells whitney that jen is still mad about

01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:55.539
coach shaw's party and like we are i don't know

01:02:55.539 --> 01:02:57.380
if it's like how long we've been talking about

01:02:57.380 --> 01:02:59.559
it or like if it's truly been that long in the

01:02:59.559 --> 01:03:01.820
season we're 12 episodes in and that happened

01:03:01.820 --> 01:03:06.119
like two episodes in so yeah like okay this is

01:03:06.119 --> 01:03:10.250
spanned The entire first season. Yeah, that's

01:03:10.250 --> 01:03:12.610
where Jen Shaw starts to get to me. I love her.

01:03:12.730 --> 01:03:15.829
I think she just does not give a fuck what anyone

01:03:15.829 --> 01:03:18.949
thinks, especially in this season of Salt Lake

01:03:18.949 --> 01:03:23.469
City. But like fucking let it go. Let it go.

01:03:23.570 --> 01:03:26.550
Is she afraid that storyline is what's keeping

01:03:26.550 --> 01:03:30.469
her in? Because, babe, it's not. No. And like

01:03:30.469 --> 01:03:34.280
I. this is kind of like where you like because

01:03:34.280 --> 01:03:36.340
you know i like to like get into like i dig into

01:03:36.340 --> 01:03:37.900
the behind the scenes like i like to it's like

01:03:37.900 --> 01:03:40.639
what do they actually think i wonder if she has

01:03:40.639 --> 01:03:43.019
like a touch of ocd or something and like she

01:03:43.019 --> 01:03:47.199
cannot stop obsessing over this i i do think

01:03:47.199 --> 01:03:51.980
if not a diagnosis she is like a type a type

01:03:51.980 --> 01:03:56.869
a person we're like Once she's committed to something,

01:03:56.949 --> 01:03:59.489
it needs to pan out exactly how she sees it panning

01:03:59.489 --> 01:04:01.250
out. And if it starts to go a different way,

01:04:01.429 --> 01:04:04.170
she's just going to stay staunch. She must redirect

01:04:04.170 --> 01:04:11.010
it. Right. So, like, she wanted this huge apology

01:04:11.010 --> 01:04:14.250
and this, like, falling down on the knees. I

01:04:14.250 --> 01:04:16.289
can't believe I did that to you thing. And when

01:04:16.289 --> 01:04:18.090
that didn't happen, she's like, OK, well, I'm

01:04:18.090 --> 01:04:24.389
still mad then. God. Let it go. So then. Jen

01:04:24.389 --> 01:04:27.449
shows up to the dinner and Lisa and Meredith

01:04:27.449 --> 01:04:30.369
immediately start talking shit. I'm sorry. She's

01:04:30.369 --> 01:04:33.050
she's she shows up to the dinner with Lisa and

01:04:33.050 --> 01:04:35.349
Meredith. And then Jen immediately starts talking

01:04:35.349 --> 01:04:36.989
shit about Whitney. And this word accountable

01:04:36.989 --> 01:04:39.289
keeps coming up. And all these women in Utah

01:04:39.289 --> 01:04:41.530
love the word accountability and ownership. You

01:04:41.530 --> 01:04:43.929
know, the least accountable person there, the

01:04:43.929 --> 01:04:46.530
one stealing. This is I think this is the problem

01:04:46.530 --> 01:04:50.150
is Jen is the least self -aware person that has

01:04:50.150 --> 01:04:55.670
ever walked the face of the earth. And Lisa says

01:04:55.670 --> 01:04:58.130
she's good with Whitney and there's a clean slate.

01:04:58.349 --> 01:05:02.969
And I forgot about this. Jen literally says,

01:05:03.130 --> 01:05:05.789
wait, how are you good with her? And Lisa explains

01:05:05.789 --> 01:05:08.210
that Whitney apologized and that made it better.

01:05:08.590 --> 01:05:13.429
And that scene is actually so funny because the

01:05:13.429 --> 01:05:15.670
look on Jen's face where she's like, how did

01:05:15.670 --> 01:05:19.179
you even do that? I also love like. letting a

01:05:19.179 --> 01:05:21.739
week or two pass in between taking notes and

01:05:21.739 --> 01:05:24.059
like actually talking about it because like some

01:05:24.059 --> 01:05:27.119
of this stuff is so funny to me yeah it is and

01:05:27.119 --> 01:05:30.360
we cut to a confessional with jen just fully

01:05:30.360 --> 01:05:33.059
not being able to understand or accept the pieces

01:05:33.059 --> 01:05:35.500
happening in the group and we get this beautiful

01:05:35.500 --> 01:05:38.719
stream of consciousness and this is a direct

01:05:38.719 --> 01:05:41.780
quote from one jennifer shaw Now you're coming

01:05:41.780 --> 01:05:44.059
to me saying, oh, we made up with Whitney. If

01:05:44.059 --> 01:05:46.199
you can forgive Whitney so easily for lying on

01:05:46.199 --> 01:05:47.960
you guys, does that mean you're actually lying

01:05:47.960 --> 01:05:50.480
the whole time? What the fuck are you talking

01:05:50.480 --> 01:05:56.219
about? What are you saying? It's just not connecting.

01:05:56.460 --> 01:06:02.480
This is where you can tell. And again, you know

01:06:02.480 --> 01:06:04.460
I love to get into the behind the scenes. They

01:06:04.460 --> 01:06:09.130
film two sets of. They film one set like halfway

01:06:09.130 --> 01:06:10.650
through the season and they film the rest of

01:06:10.650 --> 01:06:14.730
it after after filming is wrapped. And you can

01:06:14.730 --> 01:06:18.110
tell that Jen has had time to think this over

01:06:18.110 --> 01:06:20.309
and she is grasping at straws at this point.

01:06:20.369 --> 01:06:22.409
Like she's like, I have to throw everything at

01:06:22.409 --> 01:06:25.230
the wall and hopefully one of these things will

01:06:25.230 --> 01:06:27.909
stick. And like the producers on Salt Lake City

01:06:27.909 --> 01:06:30.769
were like, we have reality TV gold here. This

01:06:30.769 --> 01:06:35.980
woman is they saw what she was doing. So. We

01:06:35.980 --> 01:06:39.420
cut back to the dinner and Jen starts escalating

01:06:39.420 --> 01:06:44.219
into one of her Hulk rages. And Lisa is trying

01:06:44.219 --> 01:06:46.239
so hard. And this is this is one of the things

01:06:46.239 --> 01:06:49.159
I love about Lisa. We're like Lisa is like, let's

01:06:49.159 --> 01:06:51.960
let's talk like let's like when Lisa is not the

01:06:51.960 --> 01:06:54.280
one in the direct line of fire. Like she does

01:06:54.280 --> 01:06:56.760
try to calm it down. She's so good at it. And

01:06:56.760 --> 01:06:59.639
like she's she's someone who is reminds me so

01:06:59.639 --> 01:07:02.179
much of my aunt Tina, who like when Tina's in

01:07:02.179 --> 01:07:04.739
direct conflict. Comes out swinging. But like

01:07:04.739 --> 01:07:07.039
when she sees a conflict, she's like, hey, let's

01:07:07.039 --> 01:07:11.800
calm down. Let's talk. I love this about Lisa.

01:07:13.039 --> 01:07:16.539
Meredith gets up and announces that she's not

01:07:16.539 --> 01:07:18.739
engaging, walks out the door. I love Meredith

01:07:18.739 --> 01:07:22.639
so much. I love the idea of seeing people starting

01:07:22.639 --> 01:07:26.420
to yell and being like, OK, I'm done. Beautiful.

01:07:26.780 --> 01:07:31.079
I love that. But she do you remember earlier

01:07:31.079 --> 01:07:35.199
in the season? You said, and I think it was in

01:07:35.199 --> 01:07:37.400
the context of Seth and Meredith, but you said,

01:07:37.440 --> 01:07:40.519
I want to know what has impacted her so much

01:07:40.519 --> 01:07:42.280
that she feels the need to protect her piece

01:07:42.280 --> 01:07:45.019
this hard. We get, we get an answer to that.

01:07:45.099 --> 01:07:47.460
So she starts talking about like her parents

01:07:47.460 --> 01:07:51.239
had a really ugly divorce and she was always

01:07:51.239 --> 01:07:54.380
caught in the middle of. those fights and like

01:07:54.380 --> 01:07:57.440
she's like when I'm in when I'm around high levels

01:07:57.440 --> 01:08:00.059
of conflict I shut down and like totally forgot

01:08:00.059 --> 01:08:02.820
about her talking about that I like I don't remember

01:08:02.820 --> 01:08:05.500
this at all until like re -watching this and

01:08:05.500 --> 01:08:07.519
I was like oh Emma did ask about this and I'm

01:08:07.519 --> 01:08:10.980
glad we got an answer to that I that's so sad

01:08:10.980 --> 01:08:13.280
to me I it is like her parents were screaming

01:08:13.280 --> 01:08:16.899
so much that she has come up with this term I'm

01:08:16.899 --> 01:08:20.319
not going to engage and she literally shuts down

01:08:20.319 --> 01:08:23.470
yes I when she said that, like when she started

01:08:23.470 --> 01:08:25.289
talking about that in a confessional, I immediately

01:08:25.289 --> 01:08:27.729
was like, I will protect her with my life. I

01:08:27.729 --> 01:08:30.109
will take a bullet for Meredith. I have a maternal

01:08:30.109 --> 01:08:34.170
instinct towards this older woman. Yes. So then

01:08:34.170 --> 01:08:36.170
Jen starts crying about Meredith leaving the

01:08:36.170 --> 01:08:38.310
table and then she starts screaming at Lisa and

01:08:38.310 --> 01:08:44.260
she. I don't know how long this scene had been

01:08:44.260 --> 01:08:46.619
going on, but she was wasted. Like she she was

01:08:46.619 --> 01:08:49.420
wasted. And like because when she starts doing

01:08:49.420 --> 01:08:51.960
the like screaming and the crying, it's always

01:08:51.960 --> 01:08:55.020
in direct relation to she's had several drinks.

01:08:55.119 --> 01:08:58.720
I think she showed up already drunk. Do you think

01:08:58.720 --> 01:09:01.920
so? Yeah. Because do you remember? Side note

01:09:01.920 --> 01:09:04.340
about this Vegas trip. She has like three hotel

01:09:04.340 --> 01:09:07.180
rooms and a whole team of people with her. Yes.

01:09:08.170 --> 01:09:11.069
Which is like, whatever, ha ha ha ha, luxurious,

01:09:11.409 --> 01:09:16.350
extra girl, blah blah blah blah. They were all

01:09:16.350 --> 01:09:18.430
getting her ready, and you're telling me they're

01:09:18.430 --> 01:09:20.630
not taking shots? Oh, 100 % they are. Come on.

01:09:21.229 --> 01:09:24.109
You're in Vegas. Yeah, she was already drunk

01:09:24.109 --> 01:09:28.289
before she got there, is what I think. Yeah,

01:09:28.329 --> 01:09:30.529
I agree. I mean, that's totally speculation,

01:09:30.689 --> 01:09:35.470
but. But, like, Lisa is, like, Lisa. is in a

01:09:35.470 --> 01:09:37.789
hostage negotiation at this point. She's like,

01:09:37.850 --> 01:09:40.970
she's trying so hard. And that's bad for her

01:09:40.970 --> 01:09:43.289
in that scene. I truly did. I did, too, because

01:09:43.289 --> 01:09:46.189
I was like, yeah, Lisa cannot win here. And so

01:09:46.189 --> 01:09:49.109
then Heather and Whitney walk in as Jen is making

01:09:49.109 --> 01:09:51.930
her grand exit. And I went back and watched this

01:09:51.930 --> 01:09:56.670
four times to like to because you see what happens.

01:09:56.909 --> 01:10:02.060
And so, OK. I'm just going to read exactly what

01:10:02.060 --> 01:10:03.779
I wrote. I literally went back and watched this

01:10:03.779 --> 01:10:06.460
four times. Lisa is chasing after Jen. She reaches

01:10:06.460 --> 01:10:09.500
out to grab Jen by the elbow and tries to start

01:10:09.500 --> 01:10:13.399
to calm her down. Heather brushes by Jen's elbow.

01:10:13.859 --> 01:10:16.340
She's like, what's going on? Because they're

01:10:16.340 --> 01:10:21.000
walking into chaos. And Jen takes out her talons

01:10:21.000 --> 01:10:25.880
and hits Heather as she's walking out. Slaps

01:10:25.880 --> 01:10:31.159
the shit out of her, too, which is crazy. Like,

01:10:31.159 --> 01:10:35.340
what are you, why does it have to escalate to

01:10:35.340 --> 01:10:37.159
this point? This is something I've never understood

01:10:37.159 --> 01:10:39.000
with Jennifer Shaw. It's like, why does it have

01:10:39.000 --> 01:10:43.510
to get to this point? And this. Alongside her

01:10:43.510 --> 01:10:46.510
first line at the table being like, how are you

01:10:46.510 --> 01:10:49.449
good with her? Yes. That's why I think she showed

01:10:49.449 --> 01:10:52.329
up already drunk. Yes. There's no way sober Jen

01:10:52.329 --> 01:10:56.430
Shaw, deranged as she is, is upset about something,

01:10:56.569 --> 01:11:00.289
sees Heather, feels Heather slightly tap her

01:11:00.289 --> 01:11:03.329
and then slaps her. Yes. There's no way. Right.

01:11:03.409 --> 01:11:09.189
She was fucked up. And that's fine. Say that.

01:11:10.090 --> 01:11:12.949
I think this whole situation could have gone

01:11:12.949 --> 01:11:15.229
over better if she would have shown up and said,

01:11:15.250 --> 01:11:19.229
I had six shots before I got here. She can't

01:11:19.229 --> 01:11:21.329
say she can't say anything that like takes away

01:11:21.329 --> 01:11:24.750
from the image of like, yeah, I am Jennifer Shaw,

01:11:24.829 --> 01:11:27.449
like I am the queen or whatever. But then she

01:11:27.449 --> 01:11:30.609
she's hulking out. She comes back in and she's

01:11:30.609 --> 01:11:33.350
losing her mind and she comes back for her purse.

01:11:34.270 --> 01:11:36.890
And then her bodyguard shows up. Why does she

01:11:36.890 --> 01:11:39.850
have a bodyguard? Why? She doesn't need a body.

01:11:39.909 --> 01:11:43.189
Does Jennifer have a bodyguard on a cast trip

01:11:43.189 --> 01:11:46.090
in the first season of The Real Housewives of

01:11:46.090 --> 01:11:49.630
Salt Lake City? Like, that's strange. She's just

01:11:49.630 --> 01:11:53.609
spending money left and right. I just watching

01:11:53.609 --> 01:11:57.810
it back. You can really, really see like because

01:11:57.810 --> 01:12:00.529
when I watched the first season of Salt Lake

01:12:00.529 --> 01:12:04.430
City the first time, this is like. years ago

01:12:04.430 --> 01:12:07.909
like I hardly remembered any of it and now I

01:12:07.909 --> 01:12:12.409
watch it back and I'm like god damn every episode

01:12:12.409 --> 01:12:15.770
I'm like why is she flying eight people out to

01:12:15.770 --> 01:12:18.710
be her team in Vegas why is she and like you

01:12:18.710 --> 01:12:21.409
know that like production pays for like the women

01:12:21.409 --> 01:12:24.850
to go on trips everything else is like on the

01:12:24.850 --> 01:12:27.590
housewives like Jen had to have paid for the

01:12:27.590 --> 01:12:29.510
extra hotel room she had to pay for the glam

01:12:29.510 --> 01:12:32.090
squad she had to pay for Oh my God, the flights

01:12:32.090 --> 01:12:34.989
alone. What the fuck? And then, yeah, I just

01:12:34.989 --> 01:12:37.170
see all of that stuff and I'm like, wow. And

01:12:37.170 --> 01:12:39.909
Vegas is one of the most expensive, like on a

01:12:39.909 --> 01:12:41.510
Delta flight, like not on like Southwest or,

01:12:41.550 --> 01:12:43.109
but on a Delta flight, it is one of the most

01:12:43.109 --> 01:12:46.949
expensive cities to fly into. Yeah. What are

01:12:46.949 --> 01:12:48.970
you doing? I'm not sure where they're staying.

01:12:49.270 --> 01:12:50.329
Do you know where they're staying? They're staying

01:12:50.329 --> 01:12:52.310
at the, at the Cosmopolitan, at the top of the,

01:12:52.369 --> 01:12:55.079
no, I'm saying not the Cosmopolitan. At the top

01:12:55.079 --> 01:12:58.920
of the MGM Grand Hotel. So she's paying for these

01:12:58.920 --> 01:13:02.159
people to sleep somewhere. Yes. It's like, what

01:13:02.159 --> 01:13:07.539
the fuck is going on, Jen? And like... You cannot

01:13:07.539 --> 01:13:11.539
tell me. You cannot tell me a football coach

01:13:11.539 --> 01:13:16.720
is paying all of this. No, he's... The IRS watched

01:13:16.720 --> 01:13:20.399
this season and they said... Yeah, it was like

01:13:20.399 --> 01:13:24.060
Teresa Giudice paying for that. Her living room

01:13:24.060 --> 01:13:29.619
all over again with cash. So then Lisa's chasing

01:13:29.619 --> 01:13:31.699
Jen. She follows Jen out to the lobby, realizes

01:13:31.699 --> 01:13:33.399
that she's on a long road to nowhere, and then

01:13:33.399 --> 01:13:37.039
heads back. And she comes back in to the dinner

01:13:37.039 --> 01:13:41.140
and goes, wow, that was a lot. I love baby gorgeous

01:13:41.140 --> 01:13:45.640
so fucking much. I love her so much. I need to

01:13:45.640 --> 01:13:48.729
know what dose of Lexapro she takes. I would

01:13:48.729 --> 01:13:51.529
like to try it. I wholeheartedly believe that's

01:13:51.529 --> 01:13:53.810
just her. I think it is, too. I believe that's

01:13:53.810 --> 01:13:57.409
that's straight Mormonism and Vita tequila. Oh,

01:13:57.590 --> 01:14:03.189
oh, yeah. Wow. That was a lot. So then Whitney

01:14:03.189 --> 01:14:04.869
gives us a confessional where she's saying that

01:14:04.869 --> 01:14:08.590
she feels like all the time spent. Wait, all

01:14:08.590 --> 01:14:11.890
the time. All the time she spent talking to Jen,

01:14:11.949 --> 01:14:14.090
trying to make up. She feels like she's full

01:14:14.090 --> 01:14:17.199
of shit. And I'm like, well, obviously. Obviously,

01:14:17.279 --> 01:14:20.659
Jen is full of shit. Yeah. Like. And the sky

01:14:20.659 --> 01:14:24.859
is blue. Yes. Newsflash. Water's wet. Yeah. Of

01:14:24.859 --> 01:14:26.300
course, Jen's full of shit. That's kind of her

01:14:26.300 --> 01:14:28.199
whole thing. And then we get to Jen in her hotel

01:14:28.199 --> 01:14:30.039
room just screaming on the phone at Coach Shop

01:14:30.039 --> 01:14:33.100
and how she's the victim. And I know Sharif was

01:14:33.100 --> 01:14:35.619
at home just like with his eyes closed and his

01:14:35.619 --> 01:14:37.939
head back going, yeah, baby, I know. I know.

01:14:38.399 --> 01:14:41.979
Like. Because here's the thing. Come on. I know

01:14:41.979 --> 01:14:46.130
Sharif loves his wife. He also knows his wife.

01:14:46.470 --> 01:14:49.310
I believe there has to be a limit to like what

01:14:49.310 --> 01:14:51.829
Coach Shaw is willing to put up with. And this

01:14:51.829 --> 01:14:53.869
is one of those things where it's like, how far

01:14:53.869 --> 01:15:00.869
do we take it? He does not strike me as a. As

01:15:00.869 --> 01:15:02.869
like someone who's never mentioned this to Jen

01:15:02.869 --> 01:15:05.270
before. Right. Let's say like, I don't think

01:15:05.270 --> 01:15:08.930
he's taking that shit from her. He's not taking

01:15:08.930 --> 01:15:11.229
it, but he's here. He'll listen to her like scream

01:15:11.229 --> 01:15:14.060
about the other women because I. truly believe

01:15:14.060 --> 01:15:16.739
in this moment jen it comes along with being

01:15:16.739 --> 01:15:19.100
not self -aware jen believes she is the victim

01:15:19.100 --> 01:15:22.060
in all of this oh 100 she's like all these girls

01:15:22.060 --> 01:15:25.279
are out to get me yes just crazy and i'm like

01:15:25.279 --> 01:15:33.149
jennifer jennifer stop it so then Heather, Whitney

01:15:33.149 --> 01:15:35.609
and Lisa and Meredith all meet up in one of their

01:15:35.609 --> 01:15:37.489
hotel rooms and they're unpacking the last couple

01:15:37.489 --> 01:15:40.550
of hours and they end up agreeing that Jen has

01:15:40.550 --> 01:15:43.489
been a demon monster for the entire season. And

01:15:43.489 --> 01:15:47.369
I'm like, I'm glad that they're all on the same

01:15:47.369 --> 01:15:49.729
page about this. This is truly the first time

01:15:49.729 --> 01:15:51.350
that they've all gotten together and been like,

01:15:51.369 --> 01:15:56.090
Jen's the problem, right? Whitney comes clean

01:15:56.090 --> 01:15:58.470
about Jen threatening to share the pictures of

01:15:58.470 --> 01:16:02.270
Meredith with another man. Meredith is honest

01:16:02.270 --> 01:16:04.170
and tells all the women that she and Seth had

01:16:04.170 --> 01:16:06.609
been separated off and on and that she that they

01:16:06.609 --> 01:16:08.449
both dated other people at times during their

01:16:08.449 --> 01:16:14.170
separation. And. She's she's talked about this

01:16:14.170 --> 01:16:16.050
before, right? Like, I know she has said this

01:16:16.050 --> 01:16:18.229
before, or am I completely just misremembering

01:16:18.229 --> 01:16:20.750
it? I don't think she's mentioned it before.

01:16:20.850 --> 01:16:23.430
She's mentioned the separation. Yeah. OK, so

01:16:23.430 --> 01:16:24.810
she hasn't mentioned that they're dating other

01:16:24.810 --> 01:16:28.909
people. OK. So this gives a little more context

01:16:28.909 --> 01:16:31.409
as to why Lisa is shocked by this news. No, no,

01:16:31.409 --> 01:16:33.930
no, no, no. Lisa didn't know at all. Lisa had

01:16:33.930 --> 01:16:36.989
no idea. No, she did. They were separated. I

01:16:36.989 --> 01:16:40.310
remember them talking in a store about it and

01:16:40.310 --> 01:16:43.449
Lisa started crying about it. And she said, I

01:16:43.449 --> 01:16:45.930
love them together so much. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:16:46.039 --> 01:16:48.140
And they went to a dinner. It's when they're

01:16:48.140 --> 01:16:51.939
doing Sundance, I think, is when Meredith tells

01:16:51.939 --> 01:16:54.539
Lisa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she must have just

01:16:54.539 --> 01:16:57.420
not known about the guys or whatever. But Lisa

01:16:57.420 --> 01:16:59.159
found a way to make this all about her and the

01:16:59.159 --> 01:17:01.500
confessional. She says, this is the first time

01:17:01.500 --> 01:17:03.460
I'm finding out about this. And I'm just like,

01:17:03.659 --> 01:17:08.939
I love her so much. And then Lisa announces that

01:17:08.939 --> 01:17:10.359
she doesn't want to be Jen's friend anymore.

01:17:10.659 --> 01:17:14.380
And then this is where I struggle with Heather.

01:17:15.430 --> 01:17:17.850
Because Heather says that Jen has redeeming qualities

01:17:17.850 --> 01:17:21.109
and that she still defends her after everything

01:17:21.109 --> 01:17:26.850
that went down. And I just felt like she knew

01:17:26.850 --> 01:17:30.289
something like Heather knows something that's

01:17:30.289 --> 01:17:33.430
going on with Jen that we don't know about. I

01:17:33.430 --> 01:17:37.010
have to believe that Heather, when she sees the

01:17:37.010 --> 01:17:39.630
slashing out, she sees the like she she she like

01:17:39.630 --> 01:17:43.430
the Hulk meltdowns. She sees a woman who is.

01:17:44.420 --> 01:17:47.340
Fighting for her life. This is what Heather's

01:17:47.340 --> 01:17:51.199
projecting onto it. And that's what she. Believes

01:17:51.199 --> 01:17:53.420
is going on. And that's why she wants to protect

01:17:53.420 --> 01:17:56.899
Jen so much. You think? I do. Because I think

01:17:56.899 --> 01:17:58.840
at the end of the day. Heather is a very protective

01:17:58.840 --> 01:18:03.039
friend. Yeah that's why I'm saying. It sounds

01:18:03.039 --> 01:18:04.880
like she's full of shit. And just trying to like

01:18:04.880 --> 01:18:07.659
stick up for Jen. But something about that scene.

01:18:07.739 --> 01:18:14.239
Made me think that Heather. like maybe maybe

01:18:14.239 --> 01:18:16.260
not maybe something else maybe something with

01:18:16.260 --> 01:18:19.340
like sharif or something but okay it just felt

01:18:19.340 --> 01:18:21.079
like they had had a heart -to -heart and she

01:18:21.079 --> 01:18:24.640
was like trying to protect jen for a reason that

01:18:24.640 --> 01:18:26.800
she can't say out loud on camera that's what

01:18:26.800 --> 01:18:30.609
it gave to me but i don't know I don't either.

01:18:30.789 --> 01:18:34.130
But like, do you remember when the guy that we

01:18:34.130 --> 01:18:37.510
used to work for where I would defend him within

01:18:37.510 --> 01:18:39.350
an inch of my life? And then there was something

01:18:39.350 --> 01:18:42.109
that he said that you could not get past. And

01:18:42.109 --> 01:18:45.270
like, I opened my mouth and you immediately were

01:18:45.270 --> 01:18:47.710
like, you said, I do not want to hear you defend

01:18:47.710 --> 01:18:50.770
him right now. I kind of get where you were coming

01:18:50.770 --> 01:18:52.409
from, like, because I projected that onto the

01:18:52.409 --> 01:18:55.390
scene where I was like. Yeah. God, they have

01:18:55.390 --> 01:18:57.010
to be so tired of hearing Heather defend her.

01:18:57.210 --> 01:19:00.289
Yeah. Well, it is sad to watch because Heather

01:19:00.289 --> 01:19:05.069
deserves a better friend than that. Heather is

01:19:05.069 --> 01:19:08.010
so beautiful and perfect. She does not need any

01:19:08.010 --> 01:19:10.310
friends who are slapping her in the face and

01:19:10.310 --> 01:19:14.010
then making her feel like she needs to go defend

01:19:14.010 --> 01:19:17.710
them. Right. Right after. She deserves wholesome,

01:19:17.729 --> 01:19:21.470
beautiful, fun relationships. I agree. But I

01:19:21.470 --> 01:19:26.489
did put in my notes. I hope to God that one day

01:19:26.489 --> 01:19:30.529
I find a man as loyal as Heather is. I know.

01:19:30.949 --> 01:19:33.750
She really is a ride or die. But it does strike

01:19:33.750 --> 01:19:37.069
me that she's like scared of Jen. And so she's

01:19:37.069 --> 01:19:38.449
like, Jen's going to watch this back. Let me

01:19:38.449 --> 01:19:40.829
speak up for her. Well, I want my man to be a

01:19:40.829 --> 01:19:47.300
little scared of me, too. Me, too. So we get

01:19:47.300 --> 01:19:48.739
to the next day. Everyone's getting their day

01:19:48.739 --> 01:19:51.319
started. Baby Gorgeous gets room service just

01:19:51.319 --> 01:19:53.500
like she deserves. Meredith is on the phone with

01:19:53.500 --> 01:19:56.939
Brooks. God, this house of horrors that Meredith

01:19:56.939 --> 01:19:59.899
lives in. She's explaining. Brooks is explaining

01:19:59.899 --> 01:20:03.220
that Teddy, the dog. went into his closet and

01:20:03.220 --> 01:20:07.720
shat all over his blue montclair coat which par

01:20:07.720 --> 01:20:11.039
for the course for this fucking dog that little

01:20:11.039 --> 01:20:14.579
demon monster dog is like oh my god nothing but

01:20:14.579 --> 01:20:16.920
problems they never show just like cute little

01:20:16.920 --> 01:20:19.380
videos i'm telling you it's always his poop it's

01:20:19.380 --> 01:20:21.359
always him pooping and it's always like him being

01:20:21.359 --> 01:20:29.039
bad so then we get heather and she's you could

01:20:29.039 --> 01:20:31.079
tell she's traumatized while she's eating breakfast

01:20:31.079 --> 01:20:33.340
and then whitney's doing yoga in her bed and

01:20:33.340 --> 01:20:36.140
then like tells us that this trip is worse when

01:20:36.140 --> 01:20:39.960
she started her water her period on a water slide

01:20:39.960 --> 01:20:45.479
in the bahamas sure whitney thank you thank you

01:20:45.479 --> 01:20:58.010
for that visual She got out of the water and

01:20:58.010 --> 01:21:00.229
everyone's looking at her like, what'd you do?

01:21:02.149 --> 01:21:06.289
And then in this moment, as far as we know, Jen

01:21:06.289 --> 01:21:08.810
went home after the fight and literally told

01:21:08.810 --> 01:21:11.430
everyone she was leaving and then told Heather

01:21:11.430 --> 01:21:17.529
that she was already gone. Okay. Right. So Mary's

01:21:17.529 --> 01:21:19.390
walking around her castle of a home like we cut

01:21:19.390 --> 01:21:20.829
to her back in Salt Lake City and she's drinking

01:21:20.829 --> 01:21:24.840
a smoothie and then. She walks in her bedroom

01:21:24.840 --> 01:21:27.479
and Charlinda just tells Mary, I'm setting up

01:21:27.479 --> 01:21:32.199
your things. That relationship terrifies me.

01:21:33.340 --> 01:21:38.840
It's so scary. It really gives like horror film

01:21:38.840 --> 01:21:41.739
like like you're going to get a big reveal as

01:21:41.739 --> 01:21:44.899
to why this is so fucked up. And you do. Going

01:21:44.899 --> 01:21:48.659
back to. The relationship that we used to have

01:21:48.659 --> 01:21:50.479
with the guy that we used to work for. It's like

01:21:50.479 --> 01:21:52.840
every time we heard him just yell from his office,

01:21:52.920 --> 01:21:55.560
it was like, oh, God, what now? My nervous system

01:21:55.560 --> 01:21:57.840
thinks you just pointed a gun at my forehead.

01:21:59.020 --> 01:22:02.619
But Lisa FaceTime's Mary and they kind of unpack

01:22:02.619 --> 01:22:05.199
like how chaotic the trip had been so far. And

01:22:05.199 --> 01:22:07.880
Mary says she tried to warn the women and they

01:22:07.880 --> 01:22:09.939
didn't believe her. So they all deserve the chaos.

01:22:11.899 --> 01:22:17.710
Everything with her is so biblical. Oh, my God.

01:22:18.609 --> 01:22:22.670
You were told by God. But I don't think we knew

01:22:22.670 --> 01:22:25.670
at this point that Mary believed or like that

01:22:25.670 --> 01:22:30.069
that people believe that Mary was God. And now

01:22:30.069 --> 01:22:32.449
that like we know everything that like we know

01:22:32.449 --> 01:22:35.649
now, that statement became so much more intense

01:22:35.649 --> 01:22:37.869
watching that back. I was like, oh, she I think

01:22:37.869 --> 01:22:40.270
that's why I always got weirdo vibes from her.

01:22:40.430 --> 01:22:43.590
I'm like, I never liked her from the very beginning.

01:22:44.279 --> 01:22:49.199
Nothing I've seen of her is likable to me. And

01:22:49.199 --> 01:22:53.560
I just. It's not surprising to me that she's

01:22:53.560 --> 01:22:56.300
framed herself as a messiah. Right. Talking about.

01:22:56.579 --> 01:23:00.760
I warned you, ladies. I warned you. You got what

01:23:00.760 --> 01:23:03.899
you deserved. I told you I'd rather be on a plane

01:23:03.899 --> 01:23:07.760
full of rats. Charlinda, get your scrubs. Like.

01:23:08.779 --> 01:23:12.380
But every time I'm at the Whole Foods and Clay

01:23:12.380 --> 01:23:16.470
Terrace. I look for her. I'm like, one day I'm

01:23:16.470 --> 01:23:18.149
going to run into her here. Or Charlinda will

01:23:18.149 --> 01:23:22.590
be at least. And I'll rescue her. So then we

01:23:22.590 --> 01:23:25.069
cut to Lisa and Meredith meeting Whitney in the

01:23:25.069 --> 01:23:29.050
lobby to head over to the psychic's house. Heather's

01:23:29.050 --> 01:23:31.010
running late and tells the other women to go

01:23:31.010 --> 01:23:33.170
ahead. She'll get an Uber like 15 minutes later.

01:23:33.569 --> 01:23:36.449
We cut to Heather knocking on Jen's door to pick

01:23:36.449 --> 01:23:40.310
up some stuff for her because we thought Jen

01:23:40.310 --> 01:23:43.869
had left already. She opens the door. And can

01:23:43.869 --> 01:23:46.449
you imagine being Heather and opening the door

01:23:46.449 --> 01:23:48.750
to this room? And Jen is just sitting there getting

01:23:48.750 --> 01:23:53.989
her glam done like. I would have lost my ever

01:23:53.989 --> 01:23:56.229
loving mind. Well, knowing full well that like

01:23:56.229 --> 01:23:58.369
the last interaction you had with her was her

01:23:58.369 --> 01:24:00.750
like hitting you or swatting at you, like whatever

01:24:00.750 --> 01:24:03.649
you want to call it. Like, I don't know that

01:24:03.649 --> 01:24:09.090
I would have been OK. So then Jen explains that

01:24:09.090 --> 01:24:12.020
she was. On our way to the airport and Stu looks

01:24:12.020 --> 01:24:14.239
like he's seen a war when the camera cuts over

01:24:14.239 --> 01:24:21.020
to him. But like Stu calmed her down. I feel

01:24:21.020 --> 01:24:23.319
so bad for Stuart Smith every time I see him

01:24:23.319 --> 01:24:25.539
because like he looks like he has like just gotten

01:24:25.539 --> 01:24:28.840
out of combat moments ago. I agree. But like

01:24:28.840 --> 01:24:32.760
who's making him be there? Jennifer. Quit. Oh,

01:24:32.859 --> 01:24:35.720
my God. He looks like he's seen a war because

01:24:35.720 --> 01:24:41.619
he's had a long day of committing fraud. So then

01:24:41.619 --> 01:24:44.979
Jenna asked the Shaw squad to give them a couple

01:24:44.979 --> 01:24:49.840
minutes. And I forgot that they'd had like their

01:24:49.840 --> 01:24:52.000
own hotel, like our two separate hotel rooms

01:24:52.000 --> 01:24:53.779
at that point. But like when she like shoes them

01:24:53.779 --> 01:24:55.539
away, I'm like, did they just go out in the hall

01:24:55.539 --> 01:25:02.460
and wait for her? No idea. So Jen starts explaining

01:25:02.460 --> 01:25:04.439
why she's the victim in this situation and no

01:25:04.439 --> 01:25:06.579
one's talking about the real issue. And then

01:25:06.579 --> 01:25:08.659
Heather tries really, really hard to stand her

01:25:08.659 --> 01:25:12.140
ground. And I did like to see that. I did, too.

01:25:12.199 --> 01:25:15.800
I did stand in her. I was so proud of her. But

01:25:15.800 --> 01:25:19.819
like we literally see Jen like when she realizes

01:25:19.819 --> 01:25:21.779
what's happening, start to try and gas like the

01:25:21.779 --> 01:25:24.520
shit out of Heather. Oh, I know. And Heather

01:25:24.520 --> 01:25:26.640
saw it. I was so proud of Heather in this scene.

01:25:26.699 --> 01:25:30.369
She really is like. Trying to get Jen to be real

01:25:30.369 --> 01:25:33.630
and being like, I have been so loyal to you.

01:25:33.689 --> 01:25:39.069
Can you please give me anything in return? And

01:25:39.069 --> 01:25:42.310
Jen's basically like, no, no, I'm the victim.

01:25:42.430 --> 01:25:44.470
And then Heather tells Jen that she was being

01:25:44.470 --> 01:25:46.329
aggressive. And I want you to remember this moment

01:25:46.329 --> 01:25:48.289
when we get to the season one reunion. Yeah.

01:25:48.289 --> 01:25:51.210
And then Jen keeps explaining over and over and

01:25:51.210 --> 01:25:52.869
over how Whitney's caused the problems in our

01:25:52.869 --> 01:25:55.869
marriage and how she's lying. And I'm like, my

01:25:55.869 --> 01:25:59.689
God, like, is did. Did Whitney do anything that

01:25:59.689 --> 01:26:03.050
wrong? Like, you're telling me that Whitney Rose

01:26:03.050 --> 01:26:05.890
coming to you and saying that saying whatever

01:26:05.890 --> 01:26:07.949
she said, like literally anything that she said

01:26:07.949 --> 01:26:10.550
short of Sharif is having an affair. You're telling

01:26:10.550 --> 01:26:12.930
me that caused that many problems in your marriage?

01:26:12.949 --> 01:26:16.050
Like, come on. Like, how could it? Because it

01:26:16.050 --> 01:26:18.829
was at Sharif's birthday party. Yes, that's that's

01:26:18.829 --> 01:26:21.149
the whole precipice. Did we even see Sharif at

01:26:21.149 --> 01:26:24.159
this birthday party? We saw him. we saw at the

01:26:24.159 --> 01:26:27.680
end of it are we dead ass like do you think sharif

01:26:27.680 --> 01:26:30.619
cared no about any part of this fucking party

01:26:30.619 --> 01:26:34.640
no sharif just wanted to go off and talk off

01:26:34.640 --> 01:26:40.619
he does not give a shit and like i bet he hasn't

01:26:40.619 --> 01:26:45.399
talked about the party and at all like not a

01:26:45.399 --> 01:26:48.640
single detail since the morning after Yeah. If

01:26:48.640 --> 01:26:51.159
I had to put money on it. But she knows Sharif

01:26:51.159 --> 01:26:53.979
would go to bat for her if it comes back. Yes.

01:26:55.239 --> 01:26:58.159
So then I did say I was actually really proud

01:26:58.159 --> 01:26:59.979
of Heather in this scene because it's the first

01:26:59.979 --> 01:27:01.579
time I feel like she's really, really number

01:27:01.579 --> 01:27:03.479
one, really standing up for herself and like

01:27:03.479 --> 01:27:07.119
standing up to Jen. Like that had to be nerve

01:27:07.119 --> 01:27:09.260
wracking. I don't think that's like I don't think

01:27:09.260 --> 01:27:12.319
that comes naturally to her because she is kind

01:27:12.319 --> 01:27:15.479
of like a. She wants everyone to be happy. I'm

01:27:15.479 --> 01:27:19.619
the same way, though. Like she she just wants

01:27:19.619 --> 01:27:21.840
everyone to be happy and get along. And so she's

01:27:21.840 --> 01:27:25.000
willing to make things inconvenient for herself

01:27:25.000 --> 01:27:27.899
to do that. And so I'm glad she didn't with this

01:27:27.899 --> 01:27:31.159
one. Yeah, I agree. The women show up to what

01:27:31.159 --> 01:27:35.520
looks like a massive house in the suburbs of

01:27:35.520 --> 01:27:39.560
Vegas. And I. I don't know why I thought this

01:27:39.560 --> 01:27:41.220
woman was a psychic for so long because she's

01:27:41.220 --> 01:27:47.699
actually a hypnotist. Yeah. And. She's. I don't

01:27:47.699 --> 01:27:49.939
know. You know why you are confused? Why? Because

01:27:49.939 --> 01:27:52.939
the way that woman speaks is so vague and strange.

01:27:53.399 --> 01:27:57.619
It's so weird. Yes. So then apparently Whitney

01:27:57.619 --> 01:27:59.520
read this woman's book and it was so impactful

01:27:59.520 --> 01:28:01.899
that now they're going to go get hypnotized.

01:28:01.899 --> 01:28:05.199
This feels like a stretch. It feels like a very

01:28:05.199 --> 01:28:10.180
Whitney thing to do. However, I feel like I know

01:28:10.180 --> 01:28:12.819
with beyond a shadow of a doubt, the production

01:28:12.819 --> 01:28:16.119
found this woman and they said, Whitney, you

01:28:16.119 --> 01:28:22.800
like her. I agree. Kimberly has all the women

01:28:22.800 --> 01:28:27.399
going around this massive dining room table.

01:28:27.739 --> 01:28:32.439
It is honestly insane in there. That's a gigantic

01:28:32.439 --> 01:28:35.760
room. It reminds me of Mary Cosby's house. Like

01:28:35.760 --> 01:28:39.579
it's. It is so ornately decorated. And like,

01:28:39.600 --> 01:28:41.539
it feels like you're walking into Caesar's Palace.

01:28:41.640 --> 01:28:44.319
Like, I've never seen anything like it. So she

01:28:44.319 --> 01:28:45.960
has all the women lean back and close their eyes

01:28:45.960 --> 01:28:48.020
so they can go into trance state. And she says

01:28:48.020 --> 01:28:49.939
that trance state is the bomb. And I was like,

01:28:50.000 --> 01:28:54.020
what are you talking about? Like, these are not

01:28:54.020 --> 01:28:57.020
real words. Also, if someone told me to be in

01:28:57.020 --> 01:28:59.079
a trance state with my friends, I would be peaking

01:28:59.079 --> 01:29:03.000
the whole time. Yes. So they're all breathing

01:29:03.000 --> 01:29:05.199
with their eyes closed and just trying to relax.

01:29:05.420 --> 01:29:09.220
And then Hurricane Jen rolls up. Kimberly goes

01:29:09.220 --> 01:29:11.380
back into this song and dance where like she

01:29:11.380 --> 01:29:14.859
makes the women pretend they're holding baseballs.

01:29:14.859 --> 01:29:16.239
I don't really understand what's going on. I

01:29:16.239 --> 01:29:18.939
don't understand hypnosis. I don't know if it's

01:29:18.939 --> 01:29:23.140
a real thing. And then Jen says again in the

01:29:23.140 --> 01:29:27.800
confessional. These women are lying and she needs

01:29:27.800 --> 01:29:29.699
to find out who's really her friend. So that's

01:29:29.699 --> 01:29:31.960
why she showed up to this to this thing, which

01:29:31.960 --> 01:29:33.800
is so funny because the way it turns out anyway.

01:29:36.039 --> 01:29:39.640
And so they they all move into this massive living

01:29:39.640 --> 01:29:42.439
room and they all sit down. So Kimberly can be

01:29:42.439 --> 01:29:46.260
a therapist slash mediator, I guess. And she

01:29:46.260 --> 01:29:50.119
goes on is not. Hypnosis. Not part of hypnosis

01:29:50.119 --> 01:29:52.579
at all. I don't know what's going on. I don't.

01:29:52.579 --> 01:29:55.439
I would like to know the book that Kimberly wrote

01:29:55.439 --> 01:29:57.779
to see like if any of this is connected whatsoever.

01:29:58.380 --> 01:30:01.840
No idea. So she she goes on to explain that this

01:30:01.840 --> 01:30:05.159
is a safe space and some feelings might get hurt.

01:30:07.859 --> 01:30:13.039
This is buck wild. Like it is like. It's so funny.

01:30:13.119 --> 01:30:15.579
You've never been to Vegas before, but like I'm

01:30:15.579 --> 01:30:19.079
telling you right now. If you told me we're going

01:30:19.079 --> 01:30:22.260
to the suburbs of Las Vegas, this is the first

01:30:22.260 --> 01:30:25.000
thing I would expect to happen. 100%. No one

01:30:25.000 --> 01:30:27.199
in their right mind is living in the Vegas suburbs

01:30:27.199 --> 01:30:32.359
and posing as a therapist, hypnosis. Mediator.

01:30:34.779 --> 01:30:40.159
Sure, sure, sure, Kimberly. So, Jen immediately

01:30:40.159 --> 01:30:44.760
starts explaining why everyone that hasn't heard

01:30:44.760 --> 01:30:47.220
that she's the victim because... Oh, she starts

01:30:47.220 --> 01:30:49.260
explaining for everyone that hasn't heard she's

01:30:49.260 --> 01:30:51.100
a victim because of the way she's acted the night

01:30:51.100 --> 01:30:55.800
before. She she literally says, how come it's

01:30:55.800 --> 01:30:58.619
always Jen? And I was like, oh, you were so close.

01:30:58.699 --> 01:31:02.739
You were so close. You almost got it. Like, why

01:31:02.739 --> 01:31:05.260
is it always Jen? I wonder why it's always Jen.

01:31:06.500 --> 01:31:09.500
Let's pause there for a minute. Why is it? Let's

01:31:09.500 --> 01:31:14.680
unpack why it's always Jen. So Meredith explains

01:31:14.680 --> 01:31:17.060
that Jen was telling everyone who she could be

01:31:17.060 --> 01:31:19.720
friends with. And that's why she left. And then

01:31:19.720 --> 01:31:22.119
Jen stops the crocodile tears and goes, well,

01:31:22.239 --> 01:31:23.880
that's your perception. And I was like, what?

01:31:23.920 --> 01:31:25.319
What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck?

01:31:25.600 --> 01:31:29.819
I was like, hang on. It's literally what you

01:31:29.819 --> 01:31:31.680
were doing, Jen. Like, it's not your perception.

01:31:31.720 --> 01:31:34.380
It's literally what you were doing. How else

01:31:34.380 --> 01:31:38.800
are you supposed to perceive the line? How can

01:31:38.800 --> 01:31:40.180
you be friends with her when you're friends with

01:31:40.180 --> 01:31:45.439
me? Yes. We get a confessional saying that with

01:31:45.439 --> 01:31:49.699
Meredith saying that the reality is that Jen's

01:31:49.699 --> 01:31:51.479
not in touch with reality. And I'm like, oh,

01:31:51.500 --> 01:31:53.560
my God, thank God. Like someone's finally saying

01:31:53.560 --> 01:31:56.720
it, because like I think the problem is that

01:31:56.720 --> 01:31:58.779
they've all been dancing around Jen the entire

01:31:58.779 --> 01:32:02.520
season. And everyone was scared to confront her

01:32:02.520 --> 01:32:05.199
head on because she's literally fucking insane.

01:32:05.279 --> 01:32:11.270
Yes. Whitney says that. She feels like this is

01:32:11.270 --> 01:32:13.109
being held over her head, like with the whole

01:32:13.109 --> 01:32:16.149
Sharif party thing. And then Jen tries to get

01:32:16.149 --> 01:32:20.409
on the cross. And I don't even I think the problem

01:32:20.409 --> 01:32:23.029
here is Jen doesn't know why she's mad anymore.

01:32:23.250 --> 01:32:25.569
Was it that was it the hospital smell? Was it

01:32:25.569 --> 01:32:28.449
the party? Like those are the only two times

01:32:28.449 --> 01:32:30.390
that she has been wronged this entire season.

01:32:31.289 --> 01:32:35.970
And I just feel like we've all been there. But

01:32:35.970 --> 01:32:38.989
maybe not on reality TV. I don't know about you.

01:32:39.050 --> 01:32:41.229
Maybe not everyone. But I've definitely gotten

01:32:41.229 --> 01:32:43.829
to a point, not with a group of people, but with...

01:32:44.060 --> 01:32:46.340
particular people where it's like i don't even

01:32:46.340 --> 01:32:49.380
remember how all of this started but i literally

01:32:49.380 --> 01:32:52.380
hate you well it's that but it's also like you

01:32:52.380 --> 01:32:54.779
if you're at that point you have to be willing

01:32:54.779 --> 01:32:57.319
to ask yourself like is it worth being this mad

01:32:57.319 --> 01:32:59.640
over and if you can't remember why you're mad

01:32:59.640 --> 01:33:01.920
at someone you need to just shut the fuck up

01:33:01.920 --> 01:33:05.300
yes it's possible to be angry and quiet yes you

01:33:05.300 --> 01:33:06.960
have nothing more to say there's nothing wrong

01:33:06.960 --> 01:33:13.500
with that so then jen says she would uh Wait,

01:33:13.560 --> 01:33:16.439
hang on. Oh, OK. So then Meredith starts to explain

01:33:16.439 --> 01:33:17.819
how she's feeling about the conversation around

01:33:17.819 --> 01:33:20.840
her marriage. And then she says, and this like

01:33:20.840 --> 01:33:22.739
this put the fear of God into me when she says,

01:33:22.800 --> 01:33:25.979
I don't get angry easily. You don't want me angry.

01:33:26.220 --> 01:33:28.779
And I was like, I don't. You're right. I don't.

01:33:28.800 --> 01:33:31.579
And then Jen goes on to say, I would never get

01:33:31.579 --> 01:33:33.739
in between someone's marriage. And then Whitney

01:33:33.739 --> 01:33:35.899
finally calls her out for being a liar because

01:33:35.899 --> 01:33:39.279
no one has said this to Jen thus far that she's

01:33:39.279 --> 01:33:47.420
a blatant liar. I can't tell if Jen believes

01:33:47.420 --> 01:33:50.720
what she's saying or if she like isn't willing

01:33:50.720 --> 01:33:52.960
to be honest. Like I can't I can't figure it

01:33:52.960 --> 01:33:56.539
out with Jen. I think she's one of those people

01:33:56.539 --> 01:33:58.739
who like thinks she's the smartest girl in the

01:33:58.739 --> 01:34:03.279
room. And so she can tell half truths and lies

01:34:03.279 --> 01:34:06.720
and things she doesn't really believe, but sell

01:34:06.720 --> 01:34:09.300
it because everyone in there is so stupid. Yes.

01:34:09.380 --> 01:34:14.699
The reality of the situation is. She's not as

01:34:14.699 --> 01:34:17.260
smart as she thinks she is. She's not dumb, but

01:34:17.260 --> 01:34:19.359
she's not as smart as she thinks she is. And

01:34:19.359 --> 01:34:23.420
she's not as good as she thinks she is. I think

01:34:23.420 --> 01:34:25.600
that's the other part of it. She thinks she's

01:34:25.600 --> 01:34:28.300
got the wool pulled over everyone. Maybe that

01:34:28.300 --> 01:34:30.260
comes with thinking she's smart. She thinks she's

01:34:30.260 --> 01:34:33.560
savvy. That's the word I think she thinks she

01:34:33.560 --> 01:34:36.159
is. She thinks she has everything figured out

01:34:36.159 --> 01:34:38.239
and she's savvy and she can slip through things

01:34:38.239 --> 01:34:40.199
and she can always be the victim and everyone

01:34:40.199 --> 01:34:44.060
will always kiss her ass. she's not smart enough

01:34:44.060 --> 01:34:47.659
to pull that off but they finally get to jen

01:34:47.659 --> 01:34:50.739
to the point of like giving half apologies like

01:34:50.739 --> 01:34:56.359
yeah which whatever and kimberly starts to interrupt

01:34:56.359 --> 01:34:59.800
her and i like and she's like coaching her on

01:34:59.800 --> 01:35:01.880
how to apologize it's funny in the moment if

01:35:01.880 --> 01:35:04.079
i were jen it would have aggravated living fuck

01:35:04.079 --> 01:35:06.399
out of me like i you know how much i hate being

01:35:06.399 --> 01:35:08.779
like talked over in the middle of a sentence

01:35:08.779 --> 01:35:11.100
i was on the therapist side that whole time were

01:35:11.100 --> 01:35:14.140
you really yeah because jen was doing the thing

01:35:14.140 --> 01:35:16.340
where she's like i'm sorry you feel that way

01:35:16.340 --> 01:35:20.399
no that's fair you're not sorry i feel that way

01:35:20.399 --> 01:35:22.659
you need to be sorry for what you did for what

01:35:22.659 --> 01:35:24.779
you said and that's what the therapist was telling

01:35:24.779 --> 01:35:26.899
her and i loved that okay put her in her fucking

01:35:26.899 --> 01:35:29.760
place that's fair that's fair i think it would

01:35:29.760 --> 01:35:33.060
have aggravated me well sure but that's kind

01:35:33.060 --> 01:35:36.380
of the point of being right hey You are the bad

01:35:36.380 --> 01:35:38.659
vibes here. You're right. You're 100 % right.

01:35:40.800 --> 01:35:44.000
They take a break. Oh, God. They take a break

01:35:44.000 --> 01:35:48.319
to play the who doesn't trust who game. And so

01:35:48.319 --> 01:35:51.039
not a single soul raises their hand when they

01:35:51.039 --> 01:35:53.600
say when she says who doesn't trust Lisa, Meredith

01:35:53.600 --> 01:35:56.340
or Whitney. Everyone raises their hand for Jen.

01:35:56.460 --> 01:35:59.859
And then Jen decides to get back at Heather and

01:35:59.859 --> 01:36:01.460
raises her hand for who doesn't trust Heather.

01:36:02.640 --> 01:36:05.859
Which is crazy, side note. It's crazy, but like,

01:36:05.859 --> 01:36:10.239
Heather seems like she's actually affected by

01:36:10.239 --> 01:36:12.659
this. And I'm like, babe, do you not see what

01:36:12.659 --> 01:36:14.659
Jen's trying to, she's trying to get under your

01:36:14.659 --> 01:36:18.319
skin. She's such a wholesome, happy girl. She's

01:36:18.319 --> 01:36:21.420
like, she like can't imagine Jen's doing that

01:36:21.420 --> 01:36:23.520
just to piss her off. She's like, wow, Jen really

01:36:23.520 --> 01:36:28.289
doesn't trust me. And so the incredible editors

01:36:28.289 --> 01:36:31.890
give us this opportunity to see three separate

01:36:31.890 --> 01:36:34.270
flashbacks to Jen screaming at the world and

01:36:34.270 --> 01:36:38.729
making a grand exit or a storm out. And they

01:36:38.729 --> 01:36:41.770
they come back to talking about how Heather saying

01:36:41.770 --> 01:36:47.069
Jen was aggressive and violent. And Lisa, Lisa

01:36:47.069 --> 01:36:49.590
says that everyone feels attacked by Jen and

01:36:49.590 --> 01:36:53.680
like. Surely you see where this is going for

01:36:53.680 --> 01:36:59.659
the season one reunion. Yes. And Jen says that

01:36:59.659 --> 01:37:01.960
her reactions are completely justified because

01:37:01.960 --> 01:37:05.479
don't they just get me now? Literally says that

01:37:05.479 --> 01:37:08.260
in a confessional. Don't they just get me? Like,

01:37:08.260 --> 01:37:13.319
babe, you don't get to, like, do that and, like,

01:37:13.340 --> 01:37:16.260
be a normal person. I'm so sorry. It's like if

01:37:16.260 --> 01:37:20.369
you went pulling people's hair out. at work or

01:37:20.369 --> 01:37:23.109
something and then a couple months in people

01:37:23.109 --> 01:37:26.670
are so pissed and it's like don't you get me

01:37:26.670 --> 01:37:30.329
that's my thing yeah shut up stop doing that

01:37:30.329 --> 01:37:32.789
and then heather explains that jen is on the

01:37:32.789 --> 01:37:34.930
brink of ruining a friendship and kimberly goes

01:37:34.930 --> 01:37:37.090
this is very good and that's for the episode

01:37:43.170 --> 01:37:45.850
I liked that little therapist lady. I thought

01:37:45.850 --> 01:37:48.050
she was so funny. I went back and forth with

01:37:48.050 --> 01:37:50.649
her because I'm like, oh, it's all it's all crock.

01:37:50.649 --> 01:37:52.710
But like at the same time, I'm like, it's a money

01:37:52.710 --> 01:37:55.449
grab for sure. She knew where her bread was buttered.

01:37:55.449 --> 01:37:58.189
She said, gay people will be watching this and

01:37:58.189 --> 01:38:02.420
this is what I need to do. I just feel like obviously

01:38:02.420 --> 01:38:05.060
it's all made up. It's a money grab. I just imagine

01:38:05.060 --> 01:38:08.760
her sitting in that big palace all day, letting

01:38:08.760 --> 01:38:11.659
people come in and just being like, you're the

01:38:11.659 --> 01:38:18.420
problem. You're the problem. Oh, God. Pretend

01:38:18.420 --> 01:38:20.939
you're holding a baseball and almost fall asleep,

01:38:21.020 --> 01:38:28.000
but don't. This is the bomb. Oh, God. Next week

01:38:28.000 --> 01:38:30.699
is the finale of The Real Housewives of Salt

01:38:30.699 --> 01:38:32.399
Lake City season one. And then it's the reunion.

01:38:34.659 --> 01:38:38.319
Oh, yeah. Yeah. This is a short season. Like

01:38:38.319 --> 01:38:40.039
the first season is always a little bit shorter.

01:38:40.619 --> 01:38:43.380
But also, I forgot to say this at the top of

01:38:43.380 --> 01:38:46.000
reality roundup. It's a clock. I know. I forgot

01:38:46.000 --> 01:38:49.220
to say this at the top of reality roundup. We

01:38:49.220 --> 01:38:50.640
all know how much I love the city of Atlanta.

01:38:50.819 --> 01:38:52.359
We all know how much I love the real housewives

01:38:52.359 --> 01:38:57.359
of Atlanta. This week, we had one Miss Pinky

01:38:57.359 --> 01:39:02.000
Cole share one of our stories on Instagram. We're

01:39:02.000 --> 01:39:06.579
celebrating. We are celebrating. And then I know.

01:39:06.920 --> 01:39:11.079
And then number two, being on threads for this

01:39:11.079 --> 01:39:13.279
fucking podcast is finally paid off because one

01:39:13.279 --> 01:39:18.670
Miss Portia fucking Williams. replied to us and

01:39:18.670 --> 01:39:21.970

Atlanta and all she said was thank you but like

01:39:26.729 --> 01:39:30.689
I was in tears when I got that reply yeah it

01:39:30.689 --> 01:39:32.989
doesn't matter that she sends that 500 times

01:39:32.989 --> 01:39:35.710
a day and it's probably not even her I don't

01:39:35.710 --> 01:39:39.670
care I don't care Portia for real on threads

01:39:39.670 --> 01:39:43.090

loving us. From Indy to Atlanta to Salt Lake

01:39:53.180 --> 01:39:58.840
City to maybe Orange County. We love you. Nothing

01:39:58.840 --> 01:40:01.020
against you, Orange County. It's not you as an

01:40:01.020 --> 01:40:06.140
area. It's all the people in you. We love you.

01:40:06.399 --> 01:40:06.880
