00:00:15.060 --> 00:00:17.199
bit but this is Bestie Approved and I'm here

00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:20.760
with our returning champion Chantel and her best

00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:24.760
friend Andreas Mr. Potomac and I am so excited

00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:28.239
to get into the Real Housewives of Rhode Island

00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:34.460
season reunion uh or season one reunion and this

00:00:34.460 --> 00:00:38.399
is like I've said it before. It's been the best

00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:42.020
season of Housewives that we've got for a premiere

00:00:42.020 --> 00:00:46.439
season ever. But we'll get into it. I'm very

00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:48.939
excited about this. Chantel, you're the returning

00:00:48.939 --> 00:00:50.619
champion. I'm going to let Andreas introduce

00:00:50.619 --> 00:00:55.619
himself, and then we'll jump in. Hey, guys. This

00:00:55.619 --> 00:00:59.820
is Andreas. My family, we own Tally Ho Restaurant.

00:01:00.619 --> 00:01:02.880
I've been friends with Karen for about 30 -some

00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.659
years. Now, I'm kind of good friends with all

00:01:05.659 --> 00:01:12.579
of them now. I went to Bullis, which is a private

00:01:12.579 --> 00:01:14.819
school in Potomac. I grew up born and raised

00:01:14.819 --> 00:01:19.879
in Potomac. And my husband and I have a couple

00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:24.979
kids who just graduated. And life is crazy. and

00:01:24.979 --> 00:01:27.180
when he says i'm friends with all of them he's

00:01:27.180 --> 00:01:29.560
talking about the real housewives of potomac

00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.159
like they don't downplay that that's a big deal

00:01:34.300 --> 00:01:37.359
it's it's weird i've told people before that

00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.439
when oc started 20 years ago my husband and i

00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:41.760
are watching i'm gonna be like i'm gonna be on

00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.540
this show one day you know i'm gonna you know

00:01:44.540 --> 00:01:46.719
be friends with these girls and like how does

00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.920
it come into potomac who knows but potomac has

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:51.900
been highlighted in many different ways which

00:01:51.900 --> 00:01:54.840
we can talk about sometime uh especially with

00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:59.260
connections to like the spelling family and um

00:01:59.260 --> 00:02:02.819
sex in this city and things like that There's

00:02:02.819 --> 00:02:05.819
a lot of connections with Tally Ho and its origin

00:02:05.819 --> 00:02:08.479
story. It's very interesting. I mean, my family,

00:02:08.539 --> 00:02:10.300
the restaurant people have been coming in, like

00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:12.979
we have the Kennedys, we have the Bushes, we

00:02:12.979 --> 00:02:16.599
have Supreme Court justices. We have, I mean,

00:02:16.780 --> 00:02:23.300
El Rey from Mike Tyson to Sylvester Stallone's

00:02:23.300 --> 00:02:25.659
father grew up, had a house around the corner.

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.360
And so it's just, it's a lot, there's a lot of

00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.039
connections and we could probably do six degrees

00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:33.689
of Tally Ho one day. So that's why when Andres

00:02:33.689 --> 00:02:35.770
was coming up, I had him change his TikTok and

00:02:35.770 --> 00:02:38.490
IG name. I was like, it has to be Mr. Potomac.

00:02:38.509 --> 00:02:40.449
Like, you know everyone. Every time I talk to

00:02:40.449 --> 00:02:42.830
him, and sometimes it's funny, I'll be like,

00:02:42.949 --> 00:02:44.590
oh, do you know him? I don't know someone that

00:02:44.590 --> 00:02:47.710
he knows. I mean, it's just wild. It's a small

00:02:47.710 --> 00:02:49.490
world. It really is a small world. Even the guy

00:02:49.490 --> 00:02:52.370
who wore White Lotus, not the one from Survivor,

00:02:52.370 --> 00:02:55.229
the other guy, he actually went to school with

00:02:55.229 --> 00:02:58.620
me a couple years younger. Oh, cool. So if anybody

00:02:58.620 --> 00:03:01.479
out there wants to help me get my EGOT one day,

00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:06.080
let's work on that. What's the connection to

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:10.020
Sex and the City? Darren Starr. So Darren Starr,

00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:12.840
who went to Churchill. My kids just graduated

00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.120
from there. Wrote Sex and the City. Wrote 90210.

00:03:17.139 --> 00:03:20.740
It was supposed to be 20854 Potomac, and they

00:03:20.740 --> 00:03:24.319
changed it because it didn't sound catchy. Yeah,

00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.830
so then the Peach Pit is... tally ho so that

00:03:27.830 --> 00:03:29.469
he used to come in there and that was his muse

00:03:29.469 --> 00:03:31.849
for the beach bit which is on the old nine i

00:03:31.849 --> 00:03:34.090
don't know how old you are you look really young

00:03:34.090 --> 00:03:38.750
so i don't know do you remember i remember shannon

00:03:38.750 --> 00:03:42.509
doherty um from charm yeah okay well her brother

00:03:42.509 --> 00:03:45.569
worked at a restaurant that was a beach bit and

00:03:45.569 --> 00:03:48.909
that was our restaurant nice um just out of curiosity

00:03:48.909 --> 00:03:52.409
how old do you think i am i love this game i

00:03:52.409 --> 00:03:56.699
love this game 33 i'll take it um i lie and tell

00:03:56.699 --> 00:04:02.060
people i'm 29 i'm 35 so i'll take it uh but okay

00:04:02.060 --> 00:04:05.500
so getting into it uh we kick every episode off

00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:07.460
like the chantelle's used to this at this point

00:04:07.460 --> 00:04:10.060
but uh what is the last song you listened to

00:04:10.060 --> 00:04:14.479
andreas uh the third song on the madonna new

00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:16.540
madonna soundtrack because i haven't listened

00:04:16.540 --> 00:04:18.879
to it all yet because i'm a horrible horrible

00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:23.139
gay um no you're not i so a couple things one

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.639
what are your thoughts on like what you've heard

00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:31.040
thus far um I love dance music and I love Madonna

00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.680
and she can't do any wrong so probably a wrong

00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.519
person my husband he'll tell you he hates it

00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:43.120
is it because it's not like what she used to

00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:47.639
put out I don't know I don't know if he even

00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.300
likes her old music either. So for me, I mean,

00:04:51.339 --> 00:04:54.379
just like Lady Gaga, I mean, she sings Tony Bennett

00:04:54.379 --> 00:04:57.079
and I'm like, I love it. Right. And it doesn't

00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.639
matter what she does. I mean, I'm the same way

00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:01.300
about Kesha. And I was, I'll tell you, I was

00:05:01.300 --> 00:05:03.000
very nervous about the new Madonna album. Cause

00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:06.439
I was like, I liked the collab she did with Sabrina

00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:08.759
Carpenter a lot. I thought that was very, very

00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.579
good. And I was like. to me it screamed like

00:05:11.579 --> 00:05:14.579
i'm i'm desperately trying to hold on to something

00:05:14.579 --> 00:05:16.579
that i'm never gonna get back like that's what

00:05:16.579 --> 00:05:19.680
that's what i felt like and i i was wrong i i

00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:24.350
love the new baton album it's so good I was at

00:05:24.350 --> 00:05:28.350
Coachella when Madonna came out on stage. I was

00:05:28.350 --> 00:05:29.949
at Sabrina Carpenter's performance when Madonna

00:05:29.949 --> 00:05:33.389
came out at Coachella. And I remember taking

00:05:33.389 --> 00:05:36.149
my phone and going to my camera and zooming in

00:05:36.149 --> 00:05:38.110
because even though on the big screen, I still

00:05:38.110 --> 00:05:41.970
couldn't tell it was Madonna. I didn't recognize

00:05:41.970 --> 00:05:45.370
her. The work went a little bit left, I'm not

00:05:45.370 --> 00:05:50.009
going to lie. During COVID, the work did look...

00:05:52.649 --> 00:06:00.370
didn't look like her but like i think she's pulled

00:06:00.370 --> 00:06:02.470
it together a little bit i think she like she's

00:06:02.470 --> 00:06:05.670
it's calmed down we figured it out i i like i'm

00:06:05.670 --> 00:06:07.970
i'm excited for this new era of her i like it

00:06:07.970 --> 00:06:11.449
i'm excited too i mean it's gonna be playing

00:06:11.449 --> 00:06:13.389
in all the clubs it's gonna be playing it's gonna

00:06:13.389 --> 00:06:16.189
be a new generation of madonna fans and yeah

00:06:16.189 --> 00:06:17.930
that's why she's kind of passing it off to her

00:06:17.930 --> 00:06:21.899
daughter too i'm Excited to see where that goes,

00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.500
too, because I think that that's going to be

00:06:24.500 --> 00:06:26.319
a cool little dynasty moment. I think that's

00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.139
going to be really cool. Chantel, what about

00:06:29.139 --> 00:06:32.439
you? What's the last song you listened to? Okay,

00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:34.939
so we talked about this last time I was here,

00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.379
that I was going to make a Bravo Housewives,

00:06:38.540 --> 00:06:40.779

00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:45.240

00:06:58.620 --> 00:07:00.480
of it all you know i know i should have started

00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:02.100
with tardy for the party that kind of like blew

00:07:02.100 --> 00:07:03.319

with something better i mean yeah did you not

00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:08.689
like tardy for the party andreas i liked it then

00:07:08.689 --> 00:07:10.490

it anymore do you like macarena i mean no it's

00:07:14.230 --> 00:07:20.069
over let it go oh my god i i like there was a

00:07:20.069 --> 00:07:21.810
couple songs it was a melissa gorga song i was

00:07:21.810 --> 00:07:23.670
like wow this is nice and i was like she's like

00:07:23.670 --> 00:07:26.269

00:07:26.269 --> 00:07:28.829
a song that i really liked let's i'm gonna be

00:07:28.829 --> 00:07:30.449
super real with you i don't know that that's

00:07:30.449 --> 00:07:33.589
actually melissa gorg does it matter does it

00:07:33.589 --> 00:07:36.649
even matter i'm like the ones that have like

00:07:36.649 --> 00:07:38.170
a good beat they're like you know have a good

00:07:38.170 --> 00:07:41.009
dance remix i'm like okay i can get down with

00:07:41.009 --> 00:07:44.990
that but i mean yeah they made us realize they

00:07:44.990 --> 00:07:47.370
made us realize that we can all be singers we

00:07:47.370 --> 00:07:49.170
can all be whatever we want pretty much yeah

00:07:49.170 --> 00:07:51.689
if you like it i love it if you want to sing

00:07:51.689 --> 00:07:54.829
i want you to sing babe yeah if nobody listens

00:07:54.829 --> 00:07:57.709
guess what who knows she's singing anyways yeah

00:07:57.709 --> 00:08:04.850
um so this is another i I feel like I fall into

00:08:04.850 --> 00:08:09.709
this bad habit of only listening to reality stars,

00:08:09.930 --> 00:08:12.670
but have you guys heard F .U. for that by Miranda

00:08:12.670 --> 00:08:16.990
from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives? I saw it was

00:08:16.990 --> 00:08:19.610
out, and I saw it on her IG, but I've not played

00:08:19.610 --> 00:08:21.149
it yet. But I've heard people are saying it's

00:08:21.149 --> 00:08:25.850
good. I'm telling you right now, it is... Miranda's

00:08:25.850 --> 00:08:28.170
the blonde? Yeah, Miranda's the blonde that was

00:08:28.170 --> 00:08:29.629
part of the swinging thing. She's part of the

00:08:29.629 --> 00:08:36.299
swinging scandal, yeah. it it is so good like

00:08:36.299 --> 00:08:38.460
i like i i've been playing it on replay like

00:08:38.460 --> 00:08:40.340
for like the last three days like i can't get

00:08:40.340 --> 00:08:43.360
enough of it it's so good and like here's the

00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.500
god's honest truth like i i hold like i like

00:08:46.500 --> 00:08:48.860
kesha is like i there she can do no wrong like

00:08:48.860 --> 00:08:51.740
she's like my kesha is your madonna andreas but

00:08:51.740 --> 00:08:56.009
like I hold these reality stars to a very different

00:08:56.009 --> 00:08:58.269
standard. Like the bar is much, much lower for

00:08:58.269 --> 00:09:00.529
them. I don't need them to come out and like

00:09:00.529 --> 00:09:02.389
be Kesha. I don't need them to come out and do

00:09:02.389 --> 00:09:04.909
anything other than exactly what they're doing

00:09:04.909 --> 00:09:07.090
right now. And like, that's exactly what Miranda

00:09:07.090 --> 00:09:09.809
did. And I, I love it. Like, I really, really

00:09:09.809 --> 00:09:12.570
love it. I can't wait to hear it. I mean, God,

00:09:12.649 --> 00:09:18.169
you have a snippet ready. I didn't prepare for

00:09:18.169 --> 00:09:22.580
it, but now I wish it's. so great and i like

00:09:22.580 --> 00:09:24.399
it's also talking a lot about her ex -husband

00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.860
chase who is admittedly like the most toxic man

00:09:27.860 --> 00:09:32.279
but he is my type of man and i i like that he

00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:34.879
gets a little shout out in that song so yeah

00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.179
he's all in the house he's all in their business

00:09:37.179 --> 00:09:40.940
anyway anyway um but this is not about the secret

00:09:40.940 --> 00:09:43.200
lives of mormon wives this is about a different

00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:47.399
set of wives uh across the country and we just

00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:50.820
wrapped up the second part of the reunion for

00:09:50.820 --> 00:09:53.039
the real housewives of rhode island um before

00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.200

00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.379

yeah um but i and at first i want to get into

00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:39.980
that nose job in a minute though i i do want

00:10:39.980 --> 00:10:42.360
to talk about that please go ahead yeah i i just

00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:46.279
i i i love i can tell them all apart now that

00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.320
makes me happy and i do i do i like a lot of

00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:55.139
them in many different ways okay okay i like

00:10:55.139 --> 00:10:58.820
that i think it was a stellar first season for

00:10:58.820 --> 00:11:00.980
housewives no one was expecting it i don't think

00:11:00.980 --> 00:11:03.379
bravo was expecting how great it was the fan

00:11:03.379 --> 00:11:06.259
reaction would be to it um like i've been saying

00:11:06.259 --> 00:11:08.379
all season it's authentic it's because they're

00:11:08.379 --> 00:11:10.740
real friends they're relationships they know

00:11:10.740 --> 00:11:13.389
each other from childhood And when you have those

00:11:13.389 --> 00:11:17.009
connections, you get a real show versus I'm going

00:11:17.009 --> 00:11:20.289
to bring in my, you know, hairdresser's daughter's

00:11:20.289 --> 00:11:23.690
sister to be a friend of. And you just have coworker

00:11:23.690 --> 00:11:26.289
relationships. This is real. This is real life.

00:11:26.950 --> 00:11:31.070
I thought the reunion was great. Yeah. I can't

00:11:31.070 --> 00:11:36.029
wait to get into what happened. I couldn't agree

00:11:36.029 --> 00:11:39.269
more. I've said it before. I said it when we

00:11:39.269 --> 00:11:42.509
unpacked the season finale with Chantel. I think

00:11:42.509 --> 00:11:49.190
that this season was... I think this group of

00:11:49.190 --> 00:11:52.029
women... I think we've reached a point in Housewives

00:11:52.029 --> 00:11:54.269
where I think these women have watched enough

00:11:54.269 --> 00:11:57.570
Real Housewives that they're like, okay, we know

00:11:57.570 --> 00:11:59.350
what we need to bring to the table. It's very

00:11:59.350 --> 00:12:01.070
much like Salt Lake City where it's like, okay,

00:12:01.110 --> 00:12:04.490
we're showing up to work. We're going to... We're

00:12:04.490 --> 00:12:06.389
going to give the people what they want. And

00:12:06.389 --> 00:12:09.590
I want to be Joellen's best friend also. I will

00:12:09.590 --> 00:12:14.809
fight you for that, Andreas. If Joellen and Gary

00:12:14.809 --> 00:12:17.250
want to swing, by God, I will swing with both

00:12:17.250 --> 00:12:19.970
of them because I think her husband is the hottest

00:12:19.970 --> 00:12:23.649
husband we've seen on our TVs in a while. I don't

00:12:23.649 --> 00:12:26.909
remember him. You don't remember him? I don't

00:12:26.909 --> 00:12:31.929
remember. Why don't I remember? Gary? The one

00:12:31.929 --> 00:12:37.009
in the sauna? let me look that up while you finish

00:12:37.009 --> 00:12:42.409
talking so obnoxiously hot but um like but this

00:12:42.409 --> 00:12:45.649
group of women i i think they're like i don't

00:12:45.649 --> 00:12:47.769
ever want i think they're just self -aware enough

00:12:47.769 --> 00:12:49.830
i don't ever want them to become more self -aware

00:12:49.830 --> 00:12:53.870
than they are right now like it's so good and

00:12:53.870 --> 00:12:56.889
i do want to talk about the nose job because

00:12:56.889 --> 00:13:00.789
i i'm not shy about the fact i'm i'm like bronwyn

00:13:00.789 --> 00:13:03.549
in salt lake city i'm also on my third nose like

00:13:03.549 --> 00:13:06.250
i've had two nose jobs so like i'm i'm no stranger

00:13:06.250 --> 00:13:10.809
to going under the knife but like i don't number

00:13:10.809 --> 00:13:15.169
one i don't think rula needed to touch a thing

00:13:15.169 --> 00:13:17.169
about herself i thought she was beautiful i think

00:13:17.169 --> 00:13:19.509
that like i i don't think she needed to do anything

00:13:19.509 --> 00:13:24.080
i think that if the nose job was new enough like

00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.039
i think there's like some settling that's gonna

00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.139
happen i think that's gonna be she's gonna i

00:13:28.139 --> 00:13:32.100
mean she's still pretty no matter what my problem

00:13:32.100 --> 00:13:35.240
is is i wonder if she was doing it because of

00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:37.620
that trash husband of hers and like she's like

00:13:37.620 --> 00:13:43.649
oh i want to like i want to stay looking ugh

00:13:43.649 --> 00:13:46.769
like i just i like there's there's nothing about

00:13:46.769 --> 00:13:49.090
that situation that's ever gonna like be redeeming

00:13:49.090 --> 00:13:51.009
for that man and i'm gonna blame that nose job

00:13:51.009 --> 00:13:54.289
on that trash husband of hers yeah i mean she

00:13:54.289 --> 00:13:56.350
did make a comment like in the reunion where

00:13:56.350 --> 00:13:58.129
she said she's been wanting something she didn't

00:13:58.129 --> 00:13:59.929
want to do for a while and she finally decided

00:13:59.929 --> 00:14:04.049
just to you know go for it and and you know pull

00:14:04.049 --> 00:14:06.250
the trigger or whatever but i could totally see

00:14:06.250 --> 00:14:08.669
her feeling insecure about herself compared to

00:14:08.669 --> 00:14:11.539
the other woman But I don't think she should.

00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:17.240
And I think the nose is okay. But the tip, I

00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:19.899
just, we're just, I don't understand. We're just

00:14:19.899 --> 00:14:25.159
skiing. Just the tip. It's okay. I don't get

00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:28.799
it. It just doesn't look, oh, it just. It's funny.

00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:30.940
I thought she was Greek because her name was

00:14:30.940 --> 00:14:34.840
Rula. Because my mom's nickname is Yula. My aunt's

00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:37.899
name is Sula. And we have a Fula, like so on

00:14:37.899 --> 00:14:39.059
and so on. I was like, she's got to be Greek.

00:14:39.740 --> 00:14:42.080
right and she reminded me of one of my family

00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:45.799
members and then uh yeah then she went and did

00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:49.039
that in the nose job and i was like oh god i

00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:51.620
will tell you that like those editors did her

00:14:51.620 --> 00:14:53.840
dirty too when she like when you got the side

00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:56.299
profile of her face and it was just like it was

00:14:56.299 --> 00:14:58.899
like that they did yeah they totally did they

00:14:58.899 --> 00:15:06.750
were yeah yeah yeah 100 but um okay so this reunion

00:15:06.750 --> 00:15:08.629
i'm gonna and i'm andreas i've already told chantelle

00:15:08.629 --> 00:15:10.590
this and i feel genuinely guilty about this i

00:15:10.590 --> 00:15:12.370
didn't realize that i had not watched this part

00:15:12.370 --> 00:15:14.350
of the reunion until i was like on my way home

00:15:14.350 --> 00:15:17.110
from work today so i like threw it on in the

00:15:17.110 --> 00:15:20.389
car so my notes are scarce so i feel like chantelle's

00:15:20.389 --> 00:15:23.009
incredible note -taking is gonna carry us for

00:15:23.009 --> 00:15:26.029
a lot of this but i took i took some notes and

00:15:26.940 --> 00:15:29.559
obviously we pick up where we left off with joellen

00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:31.399
and rula screaming at each other and i will tell

00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:34.419
you i was excited to see this side of rula come

00:15:34.419 --> 00:15:36.620
out where she's like you're a like i like because

00:15:36.620 --> 00:15:38.460
i was like this is what we've been waiting for

00:15:38.460 --> 00:15:43.559
like this is why we watch housewives and i just

00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.000
i hate that it was directed at joelle in a way

00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.629
that it's like I see what Joellen was trying

00:15:48.629 --> 00:15:51.629
to do. I see that Joellen, like, needed to, A,

00:15:51.690 --> 00:15:54.370
prove that she's not a liar, and B, like, it's

00:15:54.370 --> 00:15:57.710
like, if we can unite over anything, we can unite

00:15:57.710 --> 00:16:03.009
over hating a trash man. And I hate that, like,

00:16:03.110 --> 00:16:08.549
Joellen took it as far as she did, and Rula just

00:16:08.549 --> 00:16:11.330
could not handle that. So, like, I hate that,

00:16:11.370 --> 00:16:13.029
like, this is what we're fighting about, but

00:16:13.029 --> 00:16:14.850
I like that we got to see this side of Rula come

00:16:14.850 --> 00:16:19.899
out. yeah yeah yeah i heard that she was activated

00:16:19.899 --> 00:16:23.259
you know yeah this was all like a year ago and

00:16:23.259 --> 00:16:26.059
it was all finished and that's why all this stuff

00:16:26.059 --> 00:16:30.100
was old uh old stuff that she found out recently

00:16:30.100 --> 00:16:34.240
and that's why uh joe ellen started bringing

00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:36.539
it up again she thought it was new stuff but

00:16:36.539 --> 00:16:39.200
it all been already taken care of by the two

00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:44.100
of them so we do get into this a little bit later

00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:48.779
in the reunion like i mean i feel like rula has

00:16:48.779 --> 00:16:50.600
been sold a completely false bill of goods if

00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:51.960
i'm being a thousand percent honest with you

00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:54.899
i i because like you can see on her face on several

00:16:54.899 --> 00:16:58.720
occasions where like she's talking like i mean

00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:00.980
when they when they get into like the the um

00:17:00.980 --> 00:17:04.279
liz and dino situation where i guess like brian

00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:07.920
had like called uh oh right to say that they

00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:10.769
saw liz dancing with that guy yeah yeah right

00:17:10.769 --> 00:17:13.029
yeah yeah and Rula turned around she's like what

00:17:13.029 --> 00:17:14.769
are you talking about like she was she thought

00:17:14.769 --> 00:17:16.289
she was absolved because she wasn't involved

00:17:16.289 --> 00:17:20.109
she didn't know Brian was involved yeah and I

00:17:20.109 --> 00:17:22.829
think Brian has lied to her every step of the

00:17:22.829 --> 00:17:24.390
way and it like even when they're talking about

00:17:24.390 --> 00:17:28.289
like when Brian had gotten divorced I wholeheartedly

00:17:28.289 --> 00:17:31.680
believe that Rula just took what Brian said at

00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:33.720
face value because I think yeah they fell in

00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:35.579
love whatever and like you just this is what

00:17:35.579 --> 00:17:37.119
you do when you're in love is like you don't

00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:39.019
you don't go digging into like when did she get

00:17:39.019 --> 00:17:40.400
divorced like what's the date and everything

00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:44.960
I I you can tell that there's a certain point

00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:46.819
when she when she like kind of gives up she's

00:17:46.819 --> 00:17:48.700
like I don't know if I know the answer to some

00:17:48.700 --> 00:17:49.980
of these questions and she's like why don't you

00:17:49.980 --> 00:17:52.059
just ask Brian when he comes out like I was like

00:17:52.059 --> 00:17:54.279
I feel bad for this woman because I know she's

00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:56.000
smarter than this I know she's better than this

00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:00.279
this sucks I don't think she has the confidence.

00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.579
She doesn't have the confidence. Yeah. No confidence.

00:18:03.660 --> 00:18:06.240
Like, it's frustrating when, like, you have someone

00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:08.019
that's super smart and intelligent. She's a financial

00:18:08.019 --> 00:18:10.039
advisor. She knows money. She can help Alicia

00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:12.460
get her, you know, all her stuff together. But

00:18:12.460 --> 00:18:14.740
when it comes to love, she's just, like, blinders

00:18:14.740 --> 00:18:18.359
on. And it's just... Can't have everything. Why

00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:21.900
not? I don't know if it's a lack of, I think

00:18:21.900 --> 00:18:23.859
it became a lack of confidence. What I do think

00:18:23.859 --> 00:18:26.380
is, like, I look, so Emma and I come from the

00:18:26.380 --> 00:18:28.519
financial world. Like, she owns her own financial

00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:31.819
planning firm. Like, you have to be smart to,

00:18:31.859 --> 00:18:33.599
like, be successful at what she's doing. And

00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:35.980
Ruella is very clearly successful. Like, you

00:18:35.980 --> 00:18:39.000
can tell she is very confident in a lot of areas

00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:41.359
of her life. And I think this, like, she took

00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:43.039
a hit to her confidence here. And I think, like,

00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:45.240
I think you're 100 % right. Like, what we're

00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:49.049
seeing is the result of, like, her. almost losing

00:18:49.049 --> 00:18:51.549
her footing a little bit, and, like, that confidence

00:18:51.549 --> 00:18:54.490
can't show up there, and that sucks. That really

00:18:54.490 --> 00:19:00.309
sucks. Yeah. Yeah. I definitely feel bad, but

00:19:00.309 --> 00:19:05.950
I think she can 100 % do better as in sticking

00:19:05.950 --> 00:19:08.589
up for herself. I think she can do better in

00:19:08.589 --> 00:19:11.329
marriage. I think she can do better. Whatever.

00:19:11.829 --> 00:19:14.990
Yeah. Like, I think she can do better in every

00:19:14.990 --> 00:19:19.670
sense of the idea, and I think that i hope that

00:19:19.670 --> 00:19:22.690
when we get into season two i hope that we see

00:19:22.690 --> 00:19:28.109
her without that trash husband so if not that'll

00:19:28.109 --> 00:19:32.309
be the storyline again oh for sure we can hope

00:19:32.309 --> 00:19:38.009
and pray yeah um also so we get back into this

00:19:38.009 --> 00:19:42.029
whole thing and like i i feel like i've flipped

00:19:42.029 --> 00:19:44.829
on a lot like on a lot of these situations like

00:19:44.829 --> 00:19:47.180
with who's fighting with who but like but the

00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:49.460
kelsey and rosie thing where they're fighting

00:19:49.460 --> 00:19:51.359
with each other about like the size of the house

00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:55.660
right i was on kelsey's side the entire time

00:19:55.660 --> 00:19:58.000
like with the slam pig fight with like with all

00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:00.779
of it i was on kelsey's side 100 and then we

00:20:00.779 --> 00:20:05.539
get to the reunion and when she brings up, well,

00:20:05.579 --> 00:20:07.140
I know you have two mortgages on your house.

00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:09.400
I was like, you can't stop picking at Rosie.

00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:13.240
You physically cannot stop it. And now I get

00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:15.759
why Rosie was so mad at you. And like, I hate

00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:17.400
that because I'm just like, if you would have

00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:19.160
dropped it, you would have come out looking like

00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:22.619
the golden child. Like I, you just can't leave

00:20:22.619 --> 00:20:27.359
well enough alone. I mean, she, she, I mean,

00:20:27.380 --> 00:20:30.599
she shared a husband or boyfriend for so long.

00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:32.539
Right. I'm talking about the right one. Right.

00:20:36.069 --> 00:20:38.430
What she did was ridiculous. If anybody came

00:20:38.430 --> 00:20:40.230
into my neighborhood acting like a fool like

00:20:40.230 --> 00:20:42.990
that, I would be pissed. You know what I mean?

00:20:43.009 --> 00:20:45.990
Respect my neighbors. I'd be pissed. Absolutely.

00:20:46.430 --> 00:20:50.730
Okay. Note to self. Maybe, maybe, I don't know.

00:20:50.750 --> 00:20:53.109
Maybe it's a uppity, you know, Potomac thing.

00:20:53.170 --> 00:20:55.970
I don't know, but I don't know. I couldn't see

00:20:55.970 --> 00:20:57.890
it. I could not see someone doing that around

00:20:57.890 --> 00:21:01.029
here. No, I mean, no, absolutely. It's just respect.

00:21:01.210 --> 00:21:03.049
And she, she didn't respect her when she walked

00:21:03.049 --> 00:21:05.450
in the door and they already, there's obviously

00:21:05.450 --> 00:21:07.329
a lot of baggage in the past, which we don't

00:21:07.329 --> 00:21:12.730
know about yet. Sure. I, I took that whole thing

00:21:12.730 --> 00:21:14.930
that like went down. Like I was like, oh, it's

00:21:14.930 --> 00:21:16.789
a joke that went a little too far. And it's a

00:21:16.789 --> 00:21:20.329
joke that like she, she being Kelsey thought

00:21:20.329 --> 00:21:22.329
they were in a place where they just weren't

00:21:22.329 --> 00:21:24.130
there yet. And like, she thought she could joke

00:21:24.130 --> 00:21:26.710
around. Cause I was like. I don't know that I

00:21:26.710 --> 00:21:30.029
would have cared that much, but maybe I just

00:21:30.029 --> 00:21:31.529
don't care about things the way other people

00:21:31.529 --> 00:21:37.089
do. But knowing everything we know now and knowing

00:21:37.089 --> 00:21:41.630
that Kelsey did just pick and pick and pick and

00:21:41.630 --> 00:21:45.069
pick and pick, maybe Rosie was a little more

00:21:45.069 --> 00:21:49.029
justified in the slam pig fight than I initially

00:21:49.029 --> 00:21:52.730
thought. Yeah, I mean, just the fact that Kelsey

00:21:52.730 --> 00:21:55.069
didn't know that you can have two mortgages on

00:21:55.069 --> 00:21:56.910
a home, like, one's a construction loan. Like,

00:21:56.910 --> 00:21:58.269
Rosie was trying to explain to her, like, this

00:21:58.269 --> 00:22:00.750
is, and then Bruno was like, this is normal course

00:22:00.750 --> 00:22:02.230
of business. So, like, what are you trying to

00:22:02.230 --> 00:22:05.470
imply? Oh, well, she didn't buy her house outright.

00:22:05.650 --> 00:22:09.490
No one does that. I am so real with you. Like,

00:22:09.650 --> 00:22:11.549
I agree with you, Travis. Like, she was, like,

00:22:11.569 --> 00:22:15.380
on a path of, like, maybe some redemption. And

00:22:15.380 --> 00:22:17.140
then she still comes out with that line. It was

00:22:17.140 --> 00:22:19.240
so embarrassing to her, and I felt really bad

00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:21.099
for her, but also I felt vindicated for Rosie,

00:22:21.299 --> 00:22:24.319
because Rosie was like, yeah, she's just obsessed

00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:26.299
with me. Like, she can't stop finding something

00:22:26.299 --> 00:22:29.299
to pick on. So I felt Rosie was justified, too,

00:22:29.380 --> 00:22:31.119
with the whole slam pig, get out of my house,

00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:33.740
the whole thing. Yeah. And I also feel like she

00:22:33.740 --> 00:22:37.279
was justified. I mean, she did her cutesy little,

00:22:37.380 --> 00:22:40.119
like, I'm going to pull a, oh, my God, who's

00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:42.039
the one that showed up with the binder in Potomac?

00:22:43.220 --> 00:22:45.859
Monique. Monique. Monique, yes, thank you. She

00:22:45.859 --> 00:22:47.259
was going to pull a Monique and she was going

00:22:47.259 --> 00:22:49.180
to have her little briefcase. I can't believe

00:22:49.180 --> 00:22:50.640
she didn't bring it. Why didn't she bring it

00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:55.119
out with her and have it behind the sofa? Like,

00:22:55.140 --> 00:22:57.500
why did she leave it in the gloomy? Because I

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:59.440
would have loved to have her gone through some

00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:02.579
of that and just had a little small segment of

00:23:02.579 --> 00:23:04.299
her showing, you know, her proof of whatever.

00:23:05.070 --> 00:23:07.470
i'd like to show you my binder one day actually

00:23:07.470 --> 00:23:11.609
i'm keeping you know just in case somebody uh

00:23:11.609 --> 00:23:13.609
doesn't stand in line you know you have to have

00:23:13.609 --> 00:23:15.190
a little right you have to have the receipts

00:23:15.190 --> 00:23:18.230
like i feel like if she would have pulled that

00:23:18.230 --> 00:23:20.089
out and like been like here i have all of this

00:23:20.089 --> 00:23:22.809
stuff to show you i think she would have been

00:23:22.809 --> 00:23:25.930
completely justified in that like because i don't

00:23:25.930 --> 00:23:28.789
uh that was just and i also i want to go on record

00:23:28.789 --> 00:23:31.990
and say i am sick and tired of This trope on

00:23:31.990 --> 00:23:35.529
housewives of who rents, who owns, who has a

00:23:35.529 --> 00:23:37.369
mortgage on their house, who doesn't. I'm over

00:23:37.369 --> 00:23:40.369
it. I'm tired of it. It's 2026. The economy is

00:23:40.369 --> 00:23:43.710
trash. And I know we watch these shows for aspirational

00:23:43.710 --> 00:23:49.109
women and unimaginable levels of wealth. I am

00:23:49.109 --> 00:23:51.670
so sick and tired of people fighting about who's

00:23:51.670 --> 00:23:53.410
renting and who's got a mortgage on their house.

00:23:53.470 --> 00:23:55.730
I don't want to hear it anymore. I'm sorry. Bravo.

00:23:56.089 --> 00:23:59.609
Please cut that out. Okay, the only thing I do

00:23:59.609 --> 00:24:02.150
want to hear is whose house is going into foreclosure.

00:24:02.369 --> 00:24:04.210
So keep me posted on that. That's different.

00:24:05.190 --> 00:24:09.150
But yeah, I mean, if they can't afford to rent

00:24:09.150 --> 00:24:11.849
a beautiful house, I want to see it. I don't

00:24:11.849 --> 00:24:13.130
care how they're paying for it. It's none of

00:24:13.130 --> 00:24:16.750
my business. Well, it's kind of smart because

00:24:16.750 --> 00:24:19.670
I'll throw, I mean, Karen rents her home and

00:24:19.670 --> 00:24:22.529
it's tax deductible. I mean, I'm not sure that's

00:24:22.529 --> 00:24:25.789
the way she's doing it, but I mean, it's smart.

00:24:26.220 --> 00:24:28.099
you live in an amazing house it's basically a

00:24:28.099 --> 00:24:30.779
prop for you know and you're you can live in

00:24:30.779 --> 00:24:33.720
this place it's basically free because you just

00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:39.000
ducks from other things and uh but i mean sometimes

00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:43.319
rents away sometimes just sometimes here's the

00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:46.180
god's honest truth i'm now that's that's but

00:24:46.180 --> 00:24:48.740
that's the that's the uh oh my god if you you

00:24:48.740 --> 00:24:50.299
have to come to potomac one day and i'll take

00:24:50.299 --> 00:24:52.319
you around it's i'll go to potomac i don't care

00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:53.960
yeah like emma and i were talking about it i

00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:56.349
was like let's go to potomac I was like, you

00:24:56.349 --> 00:24:57.869
guys have to come to Tally Ho. We'll have a whole

00:24:57.869 --> 00:25:01.130
big thing. We can do another podcast there if

00:25:01.130 --> 00:25:07.349
you'd like. Oh yeah, let's do it. But yeah, I'm

00:25:07.349 --> 00:25:09.390
tired of that trope. I'm tired of that fight.

00:25:09.569 --> 00:25:13.230
And I swear to God. We have real things going

00:25:13.230 --> 00:25:16.430
on in these women's lives, like the size of their

00:25:16.430 --> 00:25:18.990
house, what they're renting. Like, that's a weird

00:25:18.990 --> 00:25:22.069
fight to have. So that's I'm I hope that this

00:25:22.069 --> 00:25:24.470
chapter is closed there. Well, that's that's

00:25:24.470 --> 00:25:26.029
what it started. That's how it started, though.

00:25:26.069 --> 00:25:29.710
Originally was the big houses, the wealthy. I

00:25:29.710 --> 00:25:32.509
mean, and we've seen so many crumble, which I

00:25:32.509 --> 00:25:34.630
totally agree with you. It doesn't matter what

00:25:34.630 --> 00:25:38.230
they have. We're in these people's lives to just

00:25:38.230 --> 00:25:42.970
to just know them better. and uh see where things

00:25:42.970 --> 00:25:46.809
go so it's not about what they have was it there's

00:25:46.809 --> 00:25:50.349
they did a like for the 100th episode of the

00:25:50.349 --> 00:25:53.269
real housewives of orange county the the oh my

00:25:53.269 --> 00:25:55.450
god it was it was lynn curtain i don't remember

00:25:55.450 --> 00:25:57.410
who it was but it was one of the original housewives

00:25:57.410 --> 00:26:00.910
in orange county who talks about like how like

00:26:00.910 --> 00:26:03.130
you know the opening shot of like that gate like

00:26:03.130 --> 00:26:05.650
opening that's that's her gate like in front

00:26:05.650 --> 00:26:08.369
of her house and it's the it's the one that got

00:26:08.369 --> 00:26:11.640
foreclosed on like that got surf papers on the

00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:17.819
show and i'm just like it we all know like on

00:26:17.819 --> 00:26:20.740
some level none of this is like reality like

00:26:20.740 --> 00:26:22.859
you have to suspend disbelief for like parts

00:26:22.859 --> 00:26:25.119
of this like but the house is like what they're

00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.599
willing to film like i don't care about any of

00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:29.920
that like we fall in love with the woman we don't

00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:31.440
fall in love with the house like the house is

00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:33.779
cool like villa villa blanca or villa rosa whatever

00:26:33.779 --> 00:26:36.700
it was for lisa vanderpump yeah that was incredible

00:26:36.700 --> 00:26:39.650
but like That's the exception to the rule. Eric

00:26:39.650 --> 00:26:43.730
Jane lives in her little casita in the outskirts

00:26:43.730 --> 00:26:46.210
of Beverly Hills. And I think that's cool. Beautiful.

00:26:46.769 --> 00:26:49.809
I'll take it. That could be me. Celebrities.

00:26:49.809 --> 00:26:54.750
They're just like us. Yeah. All right. So they

00:26:54.750 --> 00:27:00.150
let that go. I did love when. uh rosie gets up

00:27:00.150 --> 00:27:01.910
to go get her little briefcase and andy's like

00:27:01.910 --> 00:27:08.230
no no sit down sit down andy is so over it like

00:27:08.230 --> 00:27:12.349
i we talked about uh with um uh lauren from conspiracy

00:27:12.349 --> 00:27:14.410
reality we did part one of the reunion with her

00:27:14.410 --> 00:27:17.839
and we talked about like how andy was like we're

00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:19.480
going to take a five minute break. And then Rula

00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:21.799
brings up like, oh, I have, I have proof from

00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:24.359
something. And then Andy was like, yeah, we're

00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:27.000
taking a five minute break, babe. Right. Yeah.

00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:29.279
He was like, I don't want to hear this. And then

00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:31.039
just remember that there's one part where the

00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:32.440
produce, where she kept talking and the producers

00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:34.359
were like, can we save this for back for when

00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:35.900
we start filming again? Because she was trying

00:27:35.900 --> 00:27:39.319
to have the whole thing off camera. Yes. And

00:27:39.319 --> 00:27:44.700
like, so we closed that door a little bit. And

00:27:44.700 --> 00:27:47.180
then we move on to, I feel like this took up

00:27:47.180 --> 00:27:49.460
the bulk of the rest of the reunion. We talked,

00:27:49.460 --> 00:27:51.240
we talked to Ashley for a little bit and like,

00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:55.619
I feel like, I like Ashley. Like, let me just

00:27:55.619 --> 00:27:57.619
say, I'll go on record. I really like Ashley.

00:27:58.140 --> 00:28:01.279
She was not a starring role in this season. I

00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:03.180
feel like every show you're like, wait, Ashley,

00:28:03.339 --> 00:28:05.279
you have to think about it for a second. Yeah.

00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:07.579
Yeah. I do kind of, I do kind of forget she's

00:28:07.579 --> 00:28:11.339
there, but you still, but you also need that

00:28:11.339 --> 00:28:13.799
type of housewife too, to balance out a cast.

00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:18.920
i agree very sweet oh very very sweet like i

00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:20.579
think i could be very good friends with her and

00:28:20.579 --> 00:28:22.380
i think it would be a real friendship i think

00:28:22.380 --> 00:28:24.819
that she seems like one of the most genuine people

00:28:24.819 --> 00:28:27.460
on that cast like what you see is exactly what

00:28:27.460 --> 00:28:29.339
you get like her and joelle and i feel that way

00:28:29.339 --> 00:28:34.420
about not liz but not liz i think that's exactly

00:28:34.420 --> 00:28:40.840
who liz is i mean take it or leave it so I'm

00:28:40.840 --> 00:28:43.119
conflicted about Liz. I think Liz is so cool.

00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:48.779
There's something so badass about her. I don't

00:28:48.779 --> 00:28:52.119
like that. Yeah, it's like, I love that. I love

00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:54.740
that so much. And I would love to be best friends

00:28:54.740 --> 00:28:56.559
with Liz also. Let me just go on record and say

00:28:56.559 --> 00:29:00.619
that. But like, I, it's like, I think my issue

00:29:00.619 --> 00:29:02.460
with her is like, it feels like when the camera

00:29:02.460 --> 00:29:04.740
gets a little too close, when it's like, when

00:29:04.740 --> 00:29:07.140
stuff gets a little too real, that's where she's

00:29:07.140 --> 00:29:09.069
like, no, no, no, no, no. and that's like where

00:29:09.069 --> 00:29:10.609
it all like where the wheels fall off a little

00:29:10.609 --> 00:29:13.109
bit like with with the the fight that she had

00:29:13.109 --> 00:29:15.210
in the first couple episodes with kelsey with

00:29:15.210 --> 00:29:18.670
um the thing about i mean like and she's she's

00:29:18.670 --> 00:29:20.490
not coming back to the show and that sucks because

00:29:20.490 --> 00:29:25.329
i think that she was good tv absolutely i mean

00:29:29.049 --> 00:29:32.009
Sorry. No, no, no, please. I mean, I'm not going

00:29:32.009 --> 00:29:34.430
to miss Liz. I mean, I'm fine. I mean, I liked

00:29:34.430 --> 00:29:37.829
her at the beginning, but then those last few

00:29:37.829 --> 00:29:40.809
episodes where she was so unhinged, I just, I

00:29:40.809 --> 00:29:44.970
felt like, is that her real personality? Like,

00:29:44.990 --> 00:29:49.009
to be that malicious and mean? Because if you

00:29:49.009 --> 00:29:51.309
can say that to someone, then, like, that's within

00:29:51.309 --> 00:29:53.789
you somewhere deep inside. You have that to come

00:29:53.789 --> 00:29:57.390
out, you know? So I just... I don't want to see,

00:29:57.509 --> 00:30:02.450
like, angry housewife lady on my TV. That's fair.

00:30:02.470 --> 00:30:04.450
That's very fair. Like, I want some anger. I

00:30:04.450 --> 00:30:06.630
want some fighting. I want some, you know, you're

00:30:06.630 --> 00:30:09.150
trash. She needs a lot of therapy, though. I

00:30:09.150 --> 00:30:11.970
mean, I can see a lot of, like... There's a lot

00:30:11.970 --> 00:30:14.130
of stuff going on there. There's pain there.

00:30:14.490 --> 00:30:17.150
Yes. It's so bad, and that's why she shuts down.

00:30:17.630 --> 00:30:22.250
Yes. I'm not going to speculate, but... No, but

00:30:22.250 --> 00:30:24.670
like I I recognize a lot in her like this stuff

00:30:24.670 --> 00:30:26.750
that like I mean I've seen it my own family where

00:30:26.750 --> 00:30:28.869
it's like it's You have stuff from your childhood

00:30:28.869 --> 00:30:30.690
that you don't deal with and then it's like the

00:30:30.690 --> 00:30:32.829
wheels just fall off one day and it sucks It

00:30:32.829 --> 00:30:35.769
really sucks. But the God's honest truth is like

00:30:35.769 --> 00:30:38.569
that and I know that this is not a super popular

00:30:38.569 --> 00:30:41.599
opinion, but that the the iteration of liz where

00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:43.940
she's out with joellen and they're fighting she's

00:30:43.940 --> 00:30:47.700
like okay god agreed got it got it joellen i

00:30:47.700 --> 00:30:50.839
loved that i couldn't get enough of that i thought

00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:53.940
it was like that is gold because i was like this

00:30:53.940 --> 00:30:56.819
is like this woman's not putting up with it like

00:30:56.819 --> 00:30:59.900
and i was like i like this and like if we it's

00:30:59.900 --> 00:31:02.099
like we almost it's like where you're almost

00:31:02.099 --> 00:31:05.980
going a little too far but like yeah if you could

00:31:05.980 --> 00:31:09.859
stay in that lane that lane is a little tense

00:31:09.859 --> 00:31:12.339
but it's entertaining but then you take it to

00:31:12.339 --> 00:31:13.920
that next level where you're just being mean

00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:16.720
to be mean i just don't i don't like that like

00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:19.819
i saw i saw joe allen and liz the way they were

00:31:19.819 --> 00:31:22.059
fighting it was like me and my husband because

00:31:22.059 --> 00:31:23.680
my husband just shuts down doesn't want to talk

00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:25.740
and i'm like talk talk i need to talk talk now

00:31:25.740 --> 00:31:30.579
she kept on saying i and she needed just to have

00:31:30.579 --> 00:31:32.440
some kind of and i'm like they just need a little

00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:35.000
like just wink at me and tell me we're okay and

00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:37.319
then i'll leave it alone but you she couldn't

00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.839
i also feel like joellen was looking at that

00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:44.359
friendship as a genuine friendship and i think

00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:46.660
i i think a lot of these women for better or

00:31:46.660 --> 00:31:49.559
worse can compartmentalize like this is my tv

00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:51.519
friendship and like i have friendships with these

00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:54.240
women but like i don't let the tv into that i

00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:56.240
think liz was doing that in that moment because

00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:57.619
she was like i don't know what you're talking

00:31:57.619 --> 00:31:59.079
about we're not friends like that and i think

00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:01.640
liz or i think joellen genuinely thought liz

00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:03.700
was one of her best friends and i think that

00:32:03.700 --> 00:32:06.880
like that was probably heartbreaking to joelle

00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:09.160
and to hear like i don't feel that way but like

00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:11.039
i don't know that that liz didn't actually feel

00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:14.039
that way i don't know i don't know but it was

00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:15.819
more than the show was before this they were

00:32:15.819 --> 00:32:19.200
friends right yeah i mean yeah so i don't i don't

00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:21.599
i don't get it if you're going on to this i'm

00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:23.839
sure they got even closer like when they were

00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:25.720
about to go on to this and then they were touring

00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:28.740
like you must get you must get close yeah so

00:32:28.740 --> 00:32:32.319
i don't know i don't know um but then i feel

00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:35.599
i feel like the we move into what kind of takes

00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:40.480
up the rest of the episode is the situation with

00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:44.400
rula and i'll just i just say what i i wrote

00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:45.980
here i genuinely feel bad for really because

00:32:45.980 --> 00:32:48.759
i feel like she has been lied to every step of

00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:51.099
the way and she has no idea what she hasn't been

00:32:51.099 --> 00:32:53.000
lied to about what she has been lied to about

00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:56.990
and I and this is again where I start to I flipped

00:32:56.990 --> 00:32:59.109
a little bit because this entire season I was

00:32:59.109 --> 00:33:02.970
on Joellen's side and I think in the finale was

00:33:02.970 --> 00:33:05.470
in the finale or like in the leading up to the

00:33:05.470 --> 00:33:08.569
finale Joe or Rula said to Joellen hey I like

00:33:08.569 --> 00:33:12.109
the way you brought this to me I wasn't in a

00:33:12.109 --> 00:33:14.569
place to hear it so like I think Joellen should

00:33:14.569 --> 00:33:18.750
have taken that been like okay I've done what

00:33:18.750 --> 00:33:22.180
I need to do and I'm gonna i've i'm not a liar

00:33:22.180 --> 00:33:24.779
and like america knows that everyone knows that

00:33:24.779 --> 00:33:29.440
i i feel bad for ruler here because i'm just

00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:33.759
like god like this woman is in pain and she has

00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:37.039
been lied to and you have someone who i think

00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:39.180
genuinely wants to expose this trash husband

00:33:39.180 --> 00:33:44.119
of hers and will not stop isn't this what happens

00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:47.480
in season two like i think it was jersey and

00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:50.380
then like season two was like the blow up of

00:33:50.380 --> 00:33:54.559
the family um i forget which other one uh i guess

00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:57.519
season three of salt lake was the arrest like

00:33:57.519 --> 00:33:59.640
there was always something big that happens like

00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:02.700
after somebody's husband does something like

00:34:02.700 --> 00:34:04.660
this i thought it was really sweet that all the

00:34:04.660 --> 00:34:08.340
guys were like dude you did it we all know you

00:34:08.340 --> 00:34:10.679
did it just tell her everything so we can be

00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:13.380
all out i was like good job guys that was good

00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:16.179
i have to tell you that's I felt the same way

00:34:16.179 --> 00:34:18.400
about Gary when they were all at Rock Island

00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:20.420
and he was like hey you're gonna stop calling

00:34:20.420 --> 00:34:22.480
my wife a liar number one but number two like

00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:24.360
you're doing whatever you're doing I don't care

00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:25.800
what you're doing it's none of my business like

00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:28.099
I like that there was like we can all just be

00:34:28.099 --> 00:34:30.059
honest about it and be grown -ups about it I

00:34:30.059 --> 00:34:34.139
yeah this is so refreshing but like Brian does

00:34:34.139 --> 00:34:36.599
not have that capacity because he's a trash man

00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:41.639
and I will die on this hill I hate Brian I hate

00:34:41.639 --> 00:34:44.960
him I I'm not I know like I know like three or

00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:49.320
four bryans don't worry it's sad you feel bad

00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:51.800
you feel bad for the for the wife really bad

00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:54.519
and and he was just out there enjoying himself

00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:57.039
and she was sitting at home sorry go ahead yeah

00:34:57.039 --> 00:35:00.599
um hold on i had something hold on let me pull

00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:02.139
my nose really quick so i had some a point that

00:35:02.139 --> 00:35:06.500
i wanted to make um okay so just going back a

00:35:06.500 --> 00:35:12.079
little bit before um before the guys come out,

00:35:12.340 --> 00:35:15.579
Andy asks Rula, like, how are you and Brian doing?

00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:19.739
And she's like, it's day by day. And there was

00:35:19.739 --> 00:35:23.300
this whole conversation about, Andy asked the

00:35:23.300 --> 00:35:26.619
women, that time when Rula didn't come to the

00:35:26.619 --> 00:35:30.159
Newport house, was she sick? They won't believe

00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:31.400
she was sick and they're raising their hand.

00:35:32.059 --> 00:35:35.000
And I thought that the responses to that were

00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:38.750
interesting. I forget which one said, you know,

00:35:38.789 --> 00:35:42.590
someone did say it was more like a mental illness

00:35:42.590 --> 00:35:44.489
versus a physical. I think Alicia said that.

00:35:44.530 --> 00:35:48.989
Yeah. And I just kept thinking the fact that

00:35:48.989 --> 00:35:52.530
Rula, even though she does seem a little like

00:35:52.530 --> 00:35:55.050
she's lost in the sauce about what's going on

00:35:55.050 --> 00:35:58.309
with her and Brian, she's not dumb either. Because

00:35:58.309 --> 00:36:01.250
I think, in my opinion, she knew if she went

00:36:01.250 --> 00:36:02.730
to go to that Newport mansion for the weekend.

00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:05.619
Brian's going to be with the mistress. Like,

00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:09.219
she physically got ill thinking about the fact

00:36:09.219 --> 00:36:11.539
that if I do leave and go and I'm filming here,

00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:13.739
he's going to do what he's going to do. And she's

00:36:13.739 --> 00:36:16.320
far enough away. I mean, it's not that far, but

00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:20.059
she could get back easily. But I think she just

00:36:20.059 --> 00:36:23.699
knew that if she left, he's going to be with

00:36:23.699 --> 00:36:25.559
her and she couldn't deal with it. And she faked

00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:27.239
being sick. I don't think she was really sick.

00:36:27.699 --> 00:36:30.199
I never even thought about that. So here's the

00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:33.889
thing. I do believe she... did almost gaslight

00:36:33.889 --> 00:36:36.550
herself into being sick i wholeheartedly thought

00:36:36.550 --> 00:36:40.269
it was because she was like i thought this was

00:36:40.269 --> 00:36:44.170
over i and like at this point i i think she was

00:36:44.170 --> 00:36:46.070
still supposed to be a friend of like i don't

00:36:46.070 --> 00:36:48.050
because they didn't make her a full cast member

00:36:48.050 --> 00:36:52.130
until like very late in the season and i i feel

00:36:52.130 --> 00:36:54.809
like how did you know that sorry how did you

00:36:54.809 --> 00:36:57.170
know she wasn't made was it the beginning credits

00:36:57.170 --> 00:37:00.059
or no it was oh lord what was it well at first

00:37:00.059 --> 00:37:02.500
it was like she wasn't in the first two or three

00:37:02.500 --> 00:37:06.679
episodes and then like i feel like i heard the

00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:08.679
bravo docket mentioned this i like i've like

00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:10.739
it's been reported from like reliable sources

00:37:10.739 --> 00:37:12.880
that like she had originally signed on to be

00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:15.059
a friend of and then this storyline became such

00:37:15.059 --> 00:37:19.099
a major point that they just gave her like a

00:37:19.099 --> 00:37:21.619
clam or whatever the those housewives are holding

00:37:21.619 --> 00:37:25.380
but i mean that would make sense why we barely

00:37:25.380 --> 00:37:27.500
see her you know if she was supposed to be a

00:37:27.500 --> 00:37:32.780
friend of so but like i i um i feel like she

00:37:32.780 --> 00:37:36.130
was like i'm putting this on tv it's People are

00:37:36.130 --> 00:37:38.429
talking about it. Like, and like, I think she

00:37:38.429 --> 00:37:40.829
like fully, like it's, I think a lot of it was

00:37:40.829 --> 00:37:42.949
mental, but I think like she gaslit herself into

00:37:42.949 --> 00:37:44.750
being sick as a dog. And like, that's why there

00:37:44.750 --> 00:37:46.630
were no real symptoms. I wholeheartedly believe

00:37:46.630 --> 00:37:49.309
she thought she was sick. Yeah. Or symptoms,

00:37:49.369 --> 00:37:52.050
but there was no diagnosis because there wasn't

00:37:52.050 --> 00:37:54.070
anything happening. Yeah. I mean, I think, I

00:37:54.070 --> 00:37:55.750
think we all, I mean, I've made myself physically

00:37:55.750 --> 00:37:58.289
ill overthinking something like anxiety and making

00:37:58.289 --> 00:38:01.630
yourself physically sick. So I just. yeah that

00:38:01.630 --> 00:38:04.010
was just my impression was this like no even

00:38:04.010 --> 00:38:06.909
when i was watching that episode i was like she's

00:38:06.909 --> 00:38:11.789
she's oh i'm on my deathbed i'm like are you

00:38:11.789 --> 00:38:13.710
though or you just don't want to get another

00:38:13.710 --> 00:38:16.250
opportunity to cheat on you which she was like

00:38:16.250 --> 00:38:19.710
i could have died i could have yeah yeah yeah

00:38:19.710 --> 00:38:23.230
anybody could have she's so funny like i like

00:38:23.230 --> 00:38:25.349
she's very funny like in those in those little

00:38:25.349 --> 00:38:27.429
moments where she's like trying so hard i'm like

00:38:27.429 --> 00:38:30.130
you know what really you could have but no like

00:38:30.130 --> 00:38:32.809
i i never even thought about it being like a

00:38:32.809 --> 00:38:34.309
thing where it's like i can't let my husband

00:38:34.309 --> 00:38:39.050
go off and cheat with his like yeah but that's

00:38:39.050 --> 00:38:41.730
that's what i never even thought about that yeah

00:38:41.730 --> 00:38:47.420
but um And then they just go into the whole thing,

00:38:47.559 --> 00:38:51.219
just Rula and Joellen just fighting about her

00:38:51.219 --> 00:38:53.360
marriage date. And when did they get married?

00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:55.500
And when did she get pregnant with their child?

00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:57.820
And was it while they were still married? And

00:38:57.820 --> 00:39:01.199
I had to watch it a couple of times because I

00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:03.139
was like, I'm not even following the dates here.

00:39:03.199 --> 00:39:06.320
I'm like, what year is it now? I was like, you

00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:09.659
know, I was like 2011, 16, 13, 14, even Brian.

00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:12.760
Didn't even get the same answer. That's all the

00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:15.400
court documents that Joellen provided. Because

00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:18.099
here's the thing. If she said he was divorced

00:39:18.099 --> 00:39:21.619
in 2010 and then he said, yeah, my divorce is

00:39:21.619 --> 00:39:23.860
finalized in 2011. They didn't they didn't get

00:39:23.860 --> 00:39:26.940
married until 2016. Like that that that one year

00:39:26.940 --> 00:39:29.639
difference is completely irrelevant. There is

00:39:29.639 --> 00:39:31.880
a six year gap there at one point that we're

00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:34.199
talking about, though, that I this is where I

00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:37.059
come back to. I don't believe Brian was honest

00:39:37.059 --> 00:39:39.260
about her with, like, yeah, my divorce is finalized.

00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:43.079
I don't believe that he was forthright with any

00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:46.340
of it. And that's where I'm like, I believe Rula

00:39:46.340 --> 00:39:48.880
thought she was telling the truth. And, like,

00:39:48.900 --> 00:39:50.980
I'll buy that, like, yeah, maybe she got pregnant

00:39:50.980 --> 00:39:52.360
before they got married and it was a shotgun

00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:54.400
wedding. I don't care about that. That's fine.

00:39:54.659 --> 00:39:58.619
That's so irrelevant to me. But the rest of it,

00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:03.960
I'm like, that... has to be so hard and you're

00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:05.719
doing this on national tv you're doing this on

00:40:05.719 --> 00:40:07.820
a real housewives reunion you're doing this on

00:40:07.820 --> 00:40:10.139
one of the most popular franchises in existence

00:40:10.139 --> 00:40:13.860
and you're sitting here saying like you could

00:40:13.860 --> 00:40:16.820
tell where she was like i don't i don't know

00:40:16.820 --> 00:40:18.380
the date like you like because you could see

00:40:18.380 --> 00:40:20.059
like the wheels starting to fall off when she

00:40:20.059 --> 00:40:23.380
was like just asking the timeline seemed off

00:40:23.380 --> 00:40:27.380
yeah so did you catch this part this this so

00:40:27.380 --> 00:40:30.320
in that whole fight this other part got me where

00:40:31.019 --> 00:40:33.280
Rula was looking at Joellen and she was like,

00:40:33.420 --> 00:40:36.840
why are you going here? Why are you doing this?

00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:40.659
Why? Because she had an inkling of understanding

00:40:40.659 --> 00:40:42.719
and she knew that she knows there's something

00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:44.480
fishy with it. I think she knows something fishy.

00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:49.880
Maybe she was pregnant before. But she knew where

00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:53.820
she was trying to go. you get him you get him

00:40:53.820 --> 00:40:56.539
like you you the way you get him is the way you

00:40:56.539 --> 00:40:58.639
lose him i think that's what joe ellen's trying

00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:03.440
to get at right oh that's what i mean so he's

00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:05.280
cheating on you now he's gonna be with somebody

00:41:05.280 --> 00:41:06.920
else because he was with somebody else before

00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:10.019
you and he was cheating on her with you so i

00:41:10.019 --> 00:41:11.440
mean i think that's what the whole thing is is

00:41:11.440 --> 00:41:14.480
like he's the scumbag and let's find out the

00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:19.269
timeline and see who's right and wrong with joelle

00:41:19.269 --> 00:41:21.829
and i wholeheartedly think she was like i know

00:41:21.829 --> 00:41:23.590
the facts and i'm gonna go in with it and like

00:41:23.590 --> 00:41:25.190
and maybe there is some element of like yeah

00:41:25.190 --> 00:41:26.889
you get them how you lose them like maybe there

00:41:26.889 --> 00:41:28.730
is some element with that like that joelle that

00:41:28.730 --> 00:41:33.170
was the point that she was trying to make i for

00:41:33.170 --> 00:41:35.610
me i was like i wish rula just would have been

00:41:35.610 --> 00:41:38.750
like joelle and please like just i please like

00:41:38.750 --> 00:41:42.329
woman to woman stop like because i i think that

00:41:42.329 --> 00:41:44.230
rula was like going to a place where she was

00:41:44.230 --> 00:41:48.269
like you you know i don't know the answer i like

00:41:48.269 --> 00:41:50.369
i like i she can't bring herself to say that

00:41:50.369 --> 00:41:54.409
so it's just like oh like if if ruler could just

00:41:54.409 --> 00:41:58.989
say like if ruler could say it to joellen and

00:41:58.989 --> 00:42:01.510
joellen could hear it like just as on a human

00:42:01.510 --> 00:42:06.369
level of like i can't handle this i think i think

00:42:06.369 --> 00:42:08.190
that that would like heal them in a way that

00:42:08.190 --> 00:42:10.429
like i i think they both kind of need but like

00:42:10.429 --> 00:42:13.769
like this was that was tough to watch where she

00:42:13.769 --> 00:42:16.800
was like yeah where Rula was talking about 2013

00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:18.780
and Joan was like no he wasn't divorced until

00:42:18.780 --> 00:42:22.159
2016 and then it's like you start to play through

00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:24.980
like okay so on set like just in the background

00:42:24.980 --> 00:42:26.820
it's like okay so you know that there was a wedding

00:42:26.820 --> 00:42:28.900
you know that like they went to the the courthouse

00:42:28.900 --> 00:42:32.280
and like they had to do the whole thing did Rula

00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:36.800
like like I'm confused as to how that happened

00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:38.139
because you can't be married to two people at

00:42:38.139 --> 00:42:41.329
the same time so like how Right. How did the

00:42:41.329 --> 00:42:43.130
paperwork happen? Like, I'm curious about the

00:42:43.130 --> 00:42:47.349
logistics of that. Right. I'm curious if him

00:42:47.349 --> 00:42:49.610
and the ex, the Spanish teacher, filed for divorce

00:42:49.610 --> 00:42:55.829
and then just let it sit. And then he met Rula.

00:42:55.949 --> 00:42:58.030
Maybe she got pregnant. And then he was like,

00:42:58.150 --> 00:43:00.849
I want to marry this woman. Oh, crap. I never,

00:43:00.989 --> 00:43:03.349
you know, finished going through with the whole

00:43:03.349 --> 00:43:06.389
divorce. So maybe that's why there's a 2011 date

00:43:06.389 --> 00:43:08.880
and then a 16 date. i mean i don't know i didn't

00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:10.480
look into it because i'm not an fbi like joellen

00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:15.900
but um but i mean that's something that i was

00:43:15.900 --> 00:43:19.760
considering huh so don't be mean to my girl no

00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:22.920
i love joe i love joellen i just put out a video

00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:25.960
supporting joellen so well you know what i think

00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:28.860
rula is like i think she reminds me a lot of

00:43:28.860 --> 00:43:34.199
vicky that the lying the timelines the boyfriends

00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:38.659
like there was always it's just it was always

00:43:38.659 --> 00:43:41.880
her defending defending defending i just remember

00:43:41.880 --> 00:43:44.679
that a lot with vicky and i was like don't you

00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:46.760
ever compare her to that woman because i know

00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:51.099
no like when we do our orange county premiere

00:43:51.099 --> 00:43:52.719
with husbands watching housewives you're gonna

00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:55.320
find out just how i feel about her being back

00:43:55.320 --> 00:43:56.960
on that show because i do not want to see that

00:43:56.960 --> 00:43:59.960
woman on my tv again yeah i am i was just my

00:43:59.960 --> 00:44:02.000
wife i'm like it's coming out starting next week

00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:03.940
and i'm still looking forward to it because so

00:44:03.940 --> 00:44:07.059
many people do not want vicky back and i know

00:44:07.059 --> 00:44:09.619
she's going to be full vicky she's coming in

00:44:09.619 --> 00:44:11.840
hot i know she's going to come in hot and i just

00:44:11.840 --> 00:44:13.280
can't wait for the content i'm going to produce

00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:16.039
based on her just her being ridiculous it's her

00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:18.300
voice it's just her voice it's her voice and

00:44:18.300 --> 00:44:20.539
it's her with shannon i have to tell you her

00:44:20.539 --> 00:44:22.860
i know we're going off on a on a tangent here

00:44:22.860 --> 00:44:26.440
her and shannon together they aggravate me in

00:44:26.440 --> 00:44:30.369
a way that like i I don't know the last time

00:44:30.369 --> 00:44:33.869
I was that annoyed. Just the preview that we've

00:44:33.869 --> 00:44:35.630
seen of them on the beach in Puerto Vallarta.

00:44:36.469 --> 00:44:41.670
Yeah. Stay away from me. Stop. Just stop. I didn't

00:44:41.670 --> 00:44:45.650
consent to this. I've actually heard a lot of

00:44:45.650 --> 00:44:48.590
bad things about Shannon, meaning she's not nice.

00:44:48.849 --> 00:44:51.409
And throw Vicky in there. And I used to love

00:44:51.409 --> 00:44:52.829
Shannon. I was like, I want to be best friends

00:44:52.829 --> 00:44:55.630
with her. Then I was like, what happened? We

00:44:55.630 --> 00:44:59.170
met Vicky at BravoCon. Did you? How was she like

00:44:59.170 --> 00:45:01.630
right after? Right after she got the orange,

00:45:01.750 --> 00:45:03.630
yes. Yeah, right after she got the orange. She

00:45:03.630 --> 00:45:05.969
still had it with her. She was like, man, she

00:45:05.969 --> 00:45:07.909
wouldn't let it go. Yeah, she wouldn't let it

00:45:07.909 --> 00:45:11.070
go. Yeah. I mean, she was, I mean, so we knew

00:45:11.070 --> 00:45:12.849
Christian Gray Snow, so we kind of like, we saw

00:45:12.849 --> 00:45:14.489
him across the room and so we were like, hey.

00:45:15.010 --> 00:45:16.550
They were like, we did a picture with Vicky and

00:45:16.550 --> 00:45:18.610
so we made it happen. But she was very much like

00:45:18.610 --> 00:45:20.349
in the middle of doing stuff with other fans

00:45:20.349 --> 00:45:22.269
and like selling merch and was not into it at

00:45:22.269 --> 00:45:24.210
all. But we got the photo, so what are you going

00:45:24.210 --> 00:45:26.980
to do? She's also a little loopy. Oh, she's very

00:45:26.980 --> 00:45:29.219
loopy. She's very much... She's like Giselle

00:45:29.219 --> 00:45:32.320
to me, where she's very aloof. What? Giselle?

00:45:33.059 --> 00:45:36.980
Giselle plays a lot very, very well. Let me just

00:45:36.980 --> 00:45:40.099
tell you. She should be an actress. No, she's

00:45:40.099 --> 00:45:41.780
amazing. I'm going to tell you right now. Put

00:45:41.780 --> 00:45:44.159
this down in your book. When I come to Potomac,

00:45:44.320 --> 00:45:47.960
Giselle might be the only one I care about meeting.

00:45:48.179 --> 00:45:51.420
I worship the ground that woman walks on. I think

00:45:51.420 --> 00:45:56.099
she is... so great i i love her and like here's

00:45:56.099 --> 00:45:58.500
the thing i know she's done a lot of nasty stuff

00:45:58.500 --> 00:46:01.360
i i couldn't care less like it's she in my book

00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:03.360
like she's like on the same level in my mind

00:46:03.360 --> 00:46:08.119
it's like bethany frankl like yeah oh bethany

00:46:08.119 --> 00:46:12.320
frankl's my hero wait bethany frankl's your hero

00:46:12.320 --> 00:46:17.360
my hero really I will not apologize for it. I

00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:19.019
will not hear anything bad about it. People do

00:46:19.019 --> 00:46:23.039
nothing but tell me how misguided I am. Giselle,

00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:27.579
Bethany Frankel, Joellen. I loved Bethany Frankel.

00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:30.039
I loved her from when she was on Martha Stewart,

00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:34.159
The Apprentice. And she was phenomenal. She was

00:46:34.159 --> 00:46:36.059
phenomenal at first, like three or four. But

00:46:36.059 --> 00:46:38.760
she has so much. She needs to fix herself before

00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:42.679
she gets married, before she has kids. She's

00:46:42.679 --> 00:46:46.110
a mess. She's a mess. emotionally and mentally

00:46:46.110 --> 00:46:48.650
yes i i don't disagree i think there's a lot

00:46:48.650 --> 00:46:51.309
of stuff that she needs to work through i like

00:46:51.309 --> 00:46:55.010
that she didn't hide any of that on tv i think

00:46:55.010 --> 00:46:57.730
it was amazing and it helped a lot of other people

00:46:57.730 --> 00:46:59.710
that i know are who are in similar situations

00:46:59.710 --> 00:47:02.650
as her like it helped them like okay there's

00:47:02.650 --> 00:47:04.230
other people like me my you know i'm not that

00:47:04.230 --> 00:47:09.030
screwed up i mean yeah but no but yeah just put

00:47:09.030 --> 00:47:14.340
that in your book i want to be but anyway um

00:47:14.340 --> 00:47:19.760
so like I also wrote down Brian the entire time

00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:21.820
he was out on this stage looked like he had a

00:47:21.820 --> 00:47:24.159
gun held to his head like I have never seen anyone

00:47:24.159 --> 00:47:28.460
more nervous on TV like that man was like didn't

00:47:28.460 --> 00:47:30.119
it just happen that he was arrested or something

00:47:30.119 --> 00:47:37.179
so there was a lot I think that was before like

00:47:38.059 --> 00:47:40.920
Also, we talked about this, Chantel. They did

00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:43.019
talk about the tracker in the car. The tracker,

00:47:43.159 --> 00:47:46.179
yeah. Yes, and it turned out to be exactly what

00:47:46.179 --> 00:47:48.000
you thought it was, like the Find My App or whatever.

00:47:48.179 --> 00:47:50.460
Yeah, Find My Friend or whatever, yeah. Yeah.

00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:56.079
I don't know. Everything that Brian said, though,

00:47:56.099 --> 00:48:00.139
just was so annoying to me. I can't talk about

00:48:00.139 --> 00:48:02.400
it because it's litigation. I'm just like...

00:48:03.109 --> 00:48:05.829
why did you even show up like why did you leave

00:48:05.829 --> 00:48:07.929
like because you you had every opportunity to

00:48:07.929 --> 00:48:09.349
come and like clear your name you could say i'm

00:48:09.349 --> 00:48:10.449
going to be a better husband i'm going to be

00:48:10.449 --> 00:48:13.190
a better man but what he did and he did it in

00:48:13.190 --> 00:48:15.650
the way that like triggered me to know and where

00:48:15.650 --> 00:48:18.369
he was like well it gave us the opportunity for

00:48:18.369 --> 00:48:20.969
god to put us back together shut your whore mouth

00:48:20.969 --> 00:48:29.099
he's so gross Yeah, shut your whore mouth. Yeah,

00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:33.460
he's a whore. He's disgusting. He's a liar. I

00:48:33.460 --> 00:48:36.760
can't talk for legal reasons. What legal reasons?

00:48:38.920 --> 00:48:44.280
Yeah, I mean, he's gross, yeah. He could have

00:48:44.280 --> 00:48:47.019
really redeemed himself. Even Rosie was like,

00:48:47.079 --> 00:48:51.659
you just need to say when the affair ended so

00:48:51.659 --> 00:48:55.760
then Joellen can shut the hell up. You know what

00:48:55.760 --> 00:48:58.300
I'm saying? They all were just laying it out

00:48:58.300 --> 00:49:00.699
on the red carpet for him. They were like, just

00:49:00.699 --> 00:49:04.940
say this. Just say this. He can't give you a

00:49:04.940 --> 00:49:07.159
date because it's not over. So you can't give

00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:10.369
a date when it's not over. yes and then like

00:49:10.369 --> 00:49:13.269
and this is like when i think it was kelsey turned

00:49:13.269 --> 00:49:15.750
to joellen and said she didn't know what it ended

00:49:15.750 --> 00:49:17.829
that's why he won't say it like i was like oh

00:49:17.829 --> 00:49:19.769
that was that was a real kick in the balls for

00:49:19.769 --> 00:49:24.889
me like when like i was like it's like i don't

00:49:24.889 --> 00:49:26.510
know if he's trying to protect ruler or make

00:49:26.510 --> 00:49:28.429
her look like an idiot i can't figure out which

00:49:28.429 --> 00:49:33.719
one I think he is not smart enough to intentionally

00:49:33.719 --> 00:49:36.199
make her look like an idiot. I think he's just

00:49:36.199 --> 00:49:39.639
an idiot. And so everything he's doing is just

00:49:39.639 --> 00:49:42.179
bouncing off of her and making her also look

00:49:42.179 --> 00:49:44.619
like a fool because he's not honest about anything.

00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:51.530
Yeah. But what I will say... I appreciate to

00:49:51.530 --> 00:49:53.929
know, and I don't know if Joellen had this friend

00:49:53.929 --> 00:49:56.570
before she decided she wanted this information,

00:49:56.730 --> 00:49:59.250
but I love that she has a friend at Chanel that

00:49:59.250 --> 00:50:01.630
she made friends with, that she went as far as

00:50:01.630 --> 00:50:04.670
to go into his client record, find the receipt,

00:50:04.889 --> 00:50:07.250
find, like, connect it to the bag in the car.

00:50:07.409 --> 00:50:10.969
Like, I said, give this woman the Epstein files.

00:50:11.210 --> 00:50:13.789
Like, give her all of it. Like, she'll figure

00:50:13.789 --> 00:50:18.309
it out. She's not employed. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:50:19.309 --> 00:50:22.769
And she's basically in the FBI now. Yes. And

00:50:22.769 --> 00:50:24.730
the way that she was like, is this your Chanel

00:50:24.730 --> 00:50:28.530
bag, Rula? And Rula was like, no. I know. That

00:50:28.530 --> 00:50:33.250
was devastating. That was like, oh. Poor thing.

00:50:33.969 --> 00:50:37.190
Poor thing. Yeah. And I literally, literally

00:50:37.190 --> 00:50:40.610
the next note is poor Rula. OMG. Like, it's a

00:50:40.610 --> 00:50:43.289
heartbreaking part. But I will tell you, and

00:50:43.289 --> 00:50:47.329
I hope that I'm right about this. I feel like.

00:50:47.659 --> 00:50:50.800
all of this coming out like where there's no

00:50:50.800 --> 00:50:53.039
hiding from it i hope that this is what she needs

00:50:53.039 --> 00:50:55.559
to be like you know what i i think i'm good here

00:50:55.559 --> 00:50:58.219
i think we can we can close the the the chapter

00:50:58.219 --> 00:51:02.119
on this marriage i hope that that's it and oh

00:51:02.119 --> 00:51:05.219
and then like kelsey's face the entire time that

00:51:05.219 --> 00:51:07.079
they're going back and forth with like the receipts

00:51:07.079 --> 00:51:08.699
and everything i couldn't get enough of it because

00:51:08.699 --> 00:51:11.480
kelsey was all of us i was like yeah this is

00:51:11.480 --> 00:51:14.699
my girl Yeah, she was doing a tennis match thing

00:51:14.699 --> 00:51:16.400
for sure with her eyes, just back and forth,

00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:18.579
back and forth watching. I mean, she was in shock.

00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:22.559
Yeah, I mean, Joellen brought all her receipts.

00:51:22.699 --> 00:51:26.800
She was thoroughly prepared. I 1 ,000 % love

00:51:26.800 --> 00:51:29.340
a housewife that comes to reunion with everything.

00:51:29.599 --> 00:51:32.980
Like, bring me everything. And she didn't even

00:51:32.980 --> 00:51:34.539
hide her phone. Joellen had her phone literally

00:51:34.539 --> 00:51:36.139
right next to her. You know, usually they have

00:51:36.139 --> 00:51:38.280
it behind the pillow. You know, she was like,

00:51:38.340 --> 00:51:40.659
no, I'm ready. Everything, bookmark, screenshot

00:51:40.659 --> 00:51:43.530
it. I'm like, ready to go. it was funny what

00:51:43.530 --> 00:51:48.150
was it two years ago um when stacy was on and

00:51:48.150 --> 00:51:51.530
she was trying to prove that karen took her to

00:51:51.530 --> 00:51:55.989
tally ho oh yeah yeah right and then yeah and

00:51:55.989 --> 00:51:58.889
then a picture popped up of stacy karen and me

00:51:58.889 --> 00:52:01.730
because i had i had sentences of the producers

00:52:01.730 --> 00:52:05.639
so when i we saw her the other day she uh She

00:52:05.639 --> 00:52:08.159
like ran to me. She's like, Andrea. I was like,

00:52:08.199 --> 00:52:10.780
I was like, I surprised you remember me. She

00:52:10.780 --> 00:52:13.420
only met me one time. I was like, oh, I'm surprised

00:52:13.420 --> 00:52:16.300
you remember. She goes, she goes, you got me

00:52:16.300 --> 00:52:18.219
some backup. Don't worry. She's just like, I

00:52:18.219 --> 00:52:20.460
got you too. So, yeah, she was really sweet.

00:52:20.860 --> 00:52:25.760
I like that. I had my my receipts as well. Sometimes

00:52:25.760 --> 00:52:31.219
some somewhere in a book. There was a class in

00:52:31.219 --> 00:52:35.300
my undergrad where. this professor like you there

00:52:35.300 --> 00:52:37.000
were there was no technology allowed in class

00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:39.119
and like you had to come to class and you had

00:52:39.119 --> 00:52:40.980
to be prepared because the professor would just

00:52:40.980 --> 00:52:43.519
cold call on people that's like I feel like Joellen

00:52:43.519 --> 00:52:45.300
would thrive in an environment like that because

00:52:45.300 --> 00:52:49.480
I was like this is a woman who sat down and understood

00:52:49.480 --> 00:52:53.300
every level of the assignment and I like I was

00:52:53.300 --> 00:52:56.679
like like the entire time like she was like doing

00:52:56.679 --> 00:52:58.719
this I was like god i wish i could have been

00:52:58.719 --> 00:53:01.039
her and like you could see her in that class

00:53:01.039 --> 00:53:02.880
you could see her in her wonder woman outfit

00:53:02.880 --> 00:53:06.099
right and she could be like yeah like right who

00:53:06.099 --> 00:53:09.500
also yeah linda carter who also is a uh customer

00:53:09.500 --> 00:53:14.860
of our restaurant she lives up the street i want

00:53:14.860 --> 00:53:17.019
the hall of fame like i want i do want to unpack

00:53:17.019 --> 00:53:18.880
this like i want to have like a bonus episode

00:53:18.880 --> 00:53:20.619
where you're just like this is the experience

00:53:20.619 --> 00:53:23.599
of potomac i feel like potomac and i know we're

00:53:23.599 --> 00:53:25.300
going off another tangent like but i remember

00:53:25.300 --> 00:53:27.860
like when they announced the real house i said

00:53:27.860 --> 00:53:30.059
potomac and i was like get that trash off my

00:53:30.059 --> 00:53:32.400
tv it was like potomac and salt lake city were

00:53:32.400 --> 00:53:34.239
coming out around the same time i was like i

00:53:34.239 --> 00:53:35.760
don't want to see it i'm not going to be interested

00:53:35.760 --> 00:53:41.360
and then i found out how wrong i was i was like

00:53:41.360 --> 00:53:46.199
this is television like because I was like because

00:53:46.199 --> 00:53:47.960
you don't think of Potomac or Salt Lake City

00:53:47.960 --> 00:53:50.880
or like Rhode Island even as these cities were

00:53:50.880 --> 00:53:55.199
like housewives exist but like yeah they're everywhere

00:53:55.199 --> 00:53:58.500
this is like this is a new chapter in Bravo history

00:53:58.500 --> 00:54:02.880
like absolutely I mean Rhode Island you're talking

00:54:02.880 --> 00:54:04.860
about or you're talking about Potomac still Rhode

00:54:04.860 --> 00:54:07.420
Island Potomac Salt Lake these cities where it's

00:54:07.420 --> 00:54:09.159
like you don't think of this like I like I but

00:54:09.960 --> 00:54:11.599
I think Potomac doesn't get enough credit because

00:54:11.599 --> 00:54:14.420
there's so much connection to politics. There's

00:54:14.420 --> 00:54:20.320
so much connection to real world stuff. I do

00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:22.739
want to unpack it with you one day because I

00:54:22.739 --> 00:54:25.420
think that there's a lot there. I love it. I

00:54:25.420 --> 00:54:29.159
like to talk, I promise. He does. He'll be here

00:54:29.159 --> 00:54:31.820
for hours. He does love to talk. It'll be a good

00:54:31.820 --> 00:54:36.059
bonus episode. I love it. Yeah. And I'll be here

00:54:36.059 --> 00:54:37.719
in the background to monitor him and be like,

00:54:37.800 --> 00:54:40.659
you can't say that. You can't say that part.

00:54:41.699 --> 00:54:47.820
I signed no NDAs, okay? Good. But I do think,

00:54:47.860 --> 00:54:50.019
and I think this is where Ashley really earned

00:54:50.019 --> 00:54:53.039
her second spot, or Ashley earned her spot on

00:54:53.039 --> 00:54:55.519
the second season, was when she leaned over to

00:54:55.519 --> 00:54:58.579
Rula in front of Brian and said, you understand

00:54:58.579 --> 00:55:01.019
you're better than him, right? Like, I was like,

00:55:02.059 --> 00:55:05.280
That's a real one. I like Ashley for that. She

00:55:05.280 --> 00:55:07.199
knew the answer, though. She knew the answer

00:55:07.199 --> 00:55:09.579
was, no, I don't know that I'm bad at that. You

00:55:09.579 --> 00:55:12.719
know what I mean? Rula looked at her and she

00:55:12.719 --> 00:55:16.559
goes, yes. Yeah. Travis, are you watching Love

00:55:16.559 --> 00:55:21.900
Island? I have tangentially watched a couple

00:55:21.900 --> 00:55:25.780
of episodes. Why? Tell me. No, it was just this

00:55:25.780 --> 00:55:28.019
one girl with this guy that's not good for her

00:55:28.019 --> 00:55:31.460
and is very toxic. There was a recoupling. And

00:55:31.460 --> 00:55:34.659
this one other castmate, female, was like looking

00:55:34.659 --> 00:55:36.800
at her and was like, you deserve better than

00:55:36.800 --> 00:55:39.780
this. You know, you're worth more. And she was

00:55:39.780 --> 00:55:40.920
like, yeah, that's thank you. She's like, that's

00:55:40.920 --> 00:55:43.380
what a real friend would tell me. You know, like

00:55:43.380 --> 00:55:48.360
you need someone to tell you the truth. So that

00:55:48.360 --> 00:55:52.219
story kind of reminded me of that. They don't

00:55:52.219 --> 00:55:54.719
listen. Some of my best girlfriends, I've given

00:55:54.719 --> 00:55:58.739
them advice. They don't listen. They don't listen.

00:55:58.800 --> 00:56:03.119
Sometimes I'm wrong. yeah but like but yeah i

00:56:03.119 --> 00:56:05.420
won't i gotta sometimes zip my mouth i can say

00:56:05.420 --> 00:56:08.579
too much same that's i think it's part of being

00:56:08.579 --> 00:56:13.820
gay honestly um is that what it is maybe i i

00:56:13.820 --> 00:56:16.440
or i the the italian greek thing because i'm

00:56:16.440 --> 00:56:18.960
italian you're you're greek it's maybe a mediterranean

00:56:18.960 --> 00:56:20.780
thing i i don't know we'll figure it out you

00:56:20.780 --> 00:56:22.159
have to talk because if you don't talk you die

00:56:22.159 --> 00:56:27.659
right yes yes but the thing about ashley is and

00:56:27.659 --> 00:56:29.800
i i'm glad it was ashley that said it because

00:56:29.800 --> 00:56:32.679

00:56:35.300 --> 00:56:38.639
what i have given has been super genuine and

00:56:38.639 --> 00:56:41.260
i was like i like you can hear it from ashley

00:56:41.260 --> 00:56:43.900

00:56:43.900 --> 00:56:48.019

about it last time she has to come in and say

00:58:22.699 --> 00:58:25.320
hi She's with her kids. I don't know. She's with

00:58:25.320 --> 00:58:27.579
her children, being a mom. She's really good

00:58:27.579 --> 00:58:29.639
at it. We'll try to see if we can do something

00:58:29.639 --> 00:58:32.679
later next time just for her. It's been a long

00:58:32.679 --> 00:58:38.340
weekend. Anyway. Sorry. No, no, no. We can cut

00:58:38.340 --> 00:58:42.300
all that out. I wanted to ask you guys because

00:58:42.300 --> 00:58:43.940
I know we're almost out of time. I wanted to

00:58:43.940 --> 00:58:50.219
ask you guys about Alicia when her fiancé came

00:58:50.219 --> 00:58:55.389
out and He was like, you know, I've invited her

00:58:55.389 --> 00:58:56.710
to come to these weekly meetings with a financial

00:58:56.710 --> 00:58:58.170
person to understand what's going on with the

00:58:58.170 --> 00:59:00.869
money and the trust and this and that. She's

00:59:00.869 --> 00:59:05.150
like, a meeting? That's so boring. I love Alicia

00:59:05.150 --> 00:59:09.789
to the death. But I was so beyond frustrated

00:59:09.789 --> 00:59:12.389
with that because here's the thing, too, you

00:59:12.389 --> 00:59:14.650
could do. Here's what I was thinking that would

00:59:14.650 --> 00:59:17.630
help her. Yes, financial things are boring. I'm

00:59:17.630 --> 00:59:19.469
an accountant, so I work in finance. So, like,

00:59:19.489 --> 00:59:21.539
to me, it's not as boring. And, Travis, you understand.

00:59:21.699 --> 00:59:23.800
Emma does, too. Yeah. And Andreas is all about

00:59:23.800 --> 00:59:26.920
finances, too. So, like, you get it. But you

00:59:26.920 --> 00:59:28.980
know what she could do? Bring her aunts with

00:59:28.980 --> 00:59:32.780
her. And they can translate it into, like, Alicia's

00:59:32.780 --> 00:59:35.340
speech so that she could understand it. Like,

00:59:35.380 --> 00:59:37.300
she needs someone there with her to help her

00:59:37.300 --> 00:59:40.500
translate. And also to keep her awake, pass her

00:59:40.500 --> 00:59:42.599
crackers, you know, like, the whole nine yards.

00:59:43.079 --> 00:59:45.659
I'm the Alicia in my relationship, okay? I'm

00:59:45.659 --> 00:59:46.820
the Alicia in my relationship. There's always

00:59:46.820 --> 00:59:49.679
one in each relationship. i don't know what's

00:59:49.679 --> 00:59:51.860
going on i don't mind going out and making this

00:59:51.860 --> 00:59:54.860
and just putting it over here just let me you

00:59:54.860 --> 00:59:57.199
know let me control something but not everything

00:59:57.199 --> 01:00:00.739
can i tell you what i saw playing out on this

01:00:00.739 --> 01:00:06.460
reunion with alicia and uh billy she presented

01:00:06.460 --> 01:00:09.599
a narrative because here's the thing i i don't

01:00:09.929 --> 01:00:12.090
I think you said it, Chantel, like when we were

01:00:12.090 --> 01:00:13.829
talking about it, where she was like, I think

01:00:13.829 --> 01:00:15.869
we're going to get a little more of both sides

01:00:15.869 --> 01:00:17.969
of this, where like Billy really did redeem himself

01:00:17.969 --> 01:00:23.110
in a lot of ways. I think Alicia regretted the

01:00:23.110 --> 01:00:26.090
narrative that she presented on this show. And

01:00:26.090 --> 01:00:28.349
this is how she's playing it off. Because I have

01:00:28.349 --> 01:00:31.190
I've been in meetings with clients that I have

01:00:31.190 --> 01:00:33.590
watched play out exactly like this before, where

01:00:33.590 --> 01:00:36.989
it's like the where it's the one party is like

01:00:36.989 --> 01:00:39.989
is not completely honest about how they presented

01:00:39.989 --> 01:00:43.449
something. So it's like. it presents itself and

01:00:43.449 --> 01:00:45.030
it's like oh i just don't care about it i'm bored

01:00:45.030 --> 01:00:47.050
like i do believe that alicia's not interested

01:00:47.050 --> 01:00:49.809
in it i think it made for a much more interesting

01:00:49.809 --> 01:00:53.989
story to say it was the prenup it was this it

01:00:53.989 --> 01:00:56.909
was that when we find out no they sent billy's

01:00:56.909 --> 01:00:59.670
draft of the prenup to to alicia's lawyers and

01:00:59.670 --> 01:01:02.010
to fill in to fill in what she wanted it was

01:01:02.010 --> 01:01:05.469
fill in the blank And gave Alicia everything

01:01:05.469 --> 01:01:10.250
she wanted. And we find out there's actually

01:01:10.250 --> 01:01:12.809
a trust that Alicia is a beneficiary of. And

01:01:12.809 --> 01:01:15.670
we find out that, like, that there's a whole

01:01:15.670 --> 01:01:17.349
estate plan in place if, God forbid, something

01:01:17.349 --> 01:01:19.369
does happen to Billy before they are married.

01:01:19.449 --> 01:01:22.849
Like, we found out that it's not quite what we

01:01:22.849 --> 01:01:25.989
were originally presented with. And I think that

01:01:25.989 --> 01:01:29.449
this was Alicia's way of saying, I just wasn't

01:01:29.449 --> 01:01:33.769
interested in it. Like, whatever. I didn't love

01:01:33.769 --> 01:01:38.570
that. I definitely was not a fan of Billy because

01:01:38.570 --> 01:01:41.429
of how she portrayed him this whole entire season.

01:01:42.050 --> 01:01:44.769
And you really thought that he was not going

01:01:44.769 --> 01:01:46.909
to give her anything with Pizza Mama. And then

01:01:46.909 --> 01:01:48.590
he comes out with the contract or whatever, and

01:01:48.590 --> 01:01:51.030
he's like, 50 % of my shares, and this and that.

01:01:51.170 --> 01:01:53.690
If you'll just drive our daughter to dance class.

01:01:54.130 --> 01:01:57.389
I don't want to sign it, Andy. I feel bad. I

01:01:57.389 --> 01:01:59.630
feel guilty. And everyone on the cast, Andy's

01:01:59.630 --> 01:02:01.429
like, should you do it? Everyone's like, sign

01:02:01.429 --> 01:02:04.110
it, bitch. What are you doing? Get your money.

01:02:05.130 --> 01:02:07.630
Okay, so what I was going to say is I feel like

01:02:07.630 --> 01:02:11.030
she's always been taken care of. Now, let me

01:02:11.030 --> 01:02:12.789
finish before. I feel like she's always been

01:02:12.789 --> 01:02:15.590
taken care of her whole entire life. And I think

01:02:15.590 --> 01:02:17.650
that's why Liz really had a problem with her

01:02:17.650 --> 01:02:20.170
saying I was homeless. Do you know what I mean?

01:02:20.610 --> 01:02:23.670
She's obviously been taken care of, so she doesn't

01:02:23.670 --> 01:02:25.670
need to know anything because I've always had

01:02:25.670 --> 01:02:27.670
everything. I don't need to know anything and

01:02:27.670 --> 01:02:31.210
I'll be okay. And that's why Liz was like, dude.

01:02:31.760 --> 01:02:33.440
do you see that everyone's always taking care

01:02:33.440 --> 01:02:34.739
of you and now you're gonna say you're homeless

01:02:34.739 --> 01:02:36.940
what does that what does that reflect on the

01:02:36.940 --> 01:02:41.039
rest of your family yeah that's a good point

01:02:41.039 --> 01:02:43.900
and what i will say is like i think alicia like

01:02:43.900 --> 01:02:47.159
of all the women on this show i think that she's

01:02:47.159 --> 01:02:48.659
probably the one that's the most guilty of being

01:02:48.659 --> 01:02:50.559
like i'm just gonna say this for the show and

01:02:50.559 --> 01:02:52.239
like because i think that we do get a lot of

01:02:52.239 --> 01:02:54.360
her real personality but i think the homeless

01:02:54.360 --> 01:02:57.989
comment i think the um the like portrayal of

01:02:57.989 --> 01:03:00.429
billy like i think a lot of it was just like

01:03:00.429 --> 01:03:02.230
oh this is just for the show and like none of

01:03:02.230 --> 01:03:07.090
it's real and then like i think i think she painted

01:03:07.090 --> 01:03:09.969
herself into that corner unfortunately do you

01:03:09.969 --> 01:03:12.530
think some of it was real but she just exaggerated

01:03:12.530 --> 01:03:16.829
it for the show maybe maybe yeah i kind of think

01:03:16.829 --> 01:03:19.610
that you also have your surroundings if she is

01:03:19.610 --> 01:03:22.010
surrounded by the same kind of people like i

01:03:22.010 --> 01:03:25.920
grew up in potomac and everyone always had this

01:03:25.920 --> 01:03:28.420
everyone always had the car everyone went to

01:03:28.420 --> 01:03:31.679
private school but then your parents can't suddenly

01:03:31.679 --> 01:03:34.179
pay for private school and it's like my parents

01:03:34.179 --> 01:03:36.400
are poor like but they don't you don't really

01:03:36.400 --> 01:03:38.460
it's just like this facade in your head that

01:03:38.460 --> 01:03:41.579
there's something wrong and that's what she believed

01:03:41.579 --> 01:03:46.179
i get her and i think we will get her more next

01:03:46.179 --> 01:03:49.739
season but i think she was kind of wrong by you

01:03:49.739 --> 01:03:51.619
know she doesn't realize that she does have a

01:03:51.619 --> 01:03:56.960
lot I agree and like I what I do love more than

01:03:56.960 --> 01:03:59.500
anything about Alicia is like I think the girl

01:03:59.500 --> 01:04:02.019
that's like I want a cracker and I want this

01:04:02.019 --> 01:04:04.199
and I want that and like the like thing where

01:04:04.199 --> 01:04:07.760
like she was so like flippant about the engagement

01:04:07.760 --> 01:04:10.719
like I think that that's her real personality

01:04:10.719 --> 01:04:15.360
and I love that she's been embraced by the fandom

01:04:15.360 --> 01:04:18.519
the way she has because like she's doing cameos

01:04:18.519 --> 01:04:21.550
and like you're getting exactly what you get

01:04:21.550 --> 01:04:24.690
with alicia i like that she's like experiencing

01:04:24.690 --> 01:04:26.289
though like hey it's okay to be yourself and

01:04:26.289 --> 01:04:27.889
like you don't have to like put anything else

01:04:27.889 --> 01:04:30.409
out that's just for the show like i i like that

01:04:30.409 --> 01:04:34.449
she's seeing that in real life that's why i don't

01:04:34.449 --> 01:04:36.369
want her to change i don't want her to change

01:04:36.369 --> 01:04:38.750
at all i love it like i want i don't want any

01:04:38.750 --> 01:04:41.489
of these housewives on this cast to change based

01:04:41.489 --> 01:04:45.269
on fan feedback fan comments what twitter said

01:04:45.269 --> 01:04:49.530
like please come back and be yourself You know,

01:04:49.550 --> 01:04:51.210
if you have some parts of personality that are

01:04:51.210 --> 01:04:53.969
horrible and maybe you were, the fans that you

01:04:53.969 --> 01:04:57.449
know, work on yourself and be better in that

01:04:57.449 --> 01:05:01.570
respect. But I love everyone on this cast. Like

01:05:01.570 --> 01:05:03.670
everyone's personality, they gelled together

01:05:03.670 --> 01:05:07.530
well. I felt like I was getting a peek inside

01:05:07.530 --> 01:05:09.829
of their personal lives, not like watching a

01:05:09.829 --> 01:05:12.389
TV show. I agree. I just think it was fantastic.

01:05:13.449 --> 01:05:17.000
So. Do we have anything else about the reunion

01:05:17.000 --> 01:05:22.559
before I ask the famous last question? Let me

01:05:22.559 --> 01:05:27.219
check my notes, but I think we covered everything.

01:05:27.579 --> 01:05:30.880
I don't really care about that. What did they

01:05:30.880 --> 01:05:32.780
drink at the end? Did they drink something at

01:05:32.780 --> 01:05:36.719
the end? I forgot. Dirty Shirley. Oh, yeah, yeah,

01:05:36.840 --> 01:05:39.570
yeah. Oh. Yeah, that's really all I have. And

01:05:39.570 --> 01:05:41.750
Andy got his little mask. I thought that was

01:05:41.750 --> 01:05:44.690
so cute. Oh, yeah, his mask. Yeah, that was cute.

01:05:45.269 --> 01:05:47.730
Because I will tell you that there is something

01:05:47.730 --> 01:05:50.829
so, like, I don't know that Beverly Hills has

01:05:50.829 --> 01:05:52.769
ever done it. I know Orange County's never done

01:05:52.769 --> 01:05:54.969
it. But, like, Potomac has done it. Salt Lake

01:05:54.969 --> 01:05:57.309
City's done it. Now Rhode Island's done it. We're

01:05:57.309 --> 01:06:00.300
like. the women give Andy something because it's

01:06:00.300 --> 01:06:02.460
like, I think there is some level of like, hey,

01:06:02.539 --> 01:06:05.099
without you, we can't be us. And like, I think

01:06:05.099 --> 01:06:07.519
they really, they appreciate the reciprocal relationship.

01:06:07.800 --> 01:06:11.000
And I like that. I really like that. Yeah, Andy

01:06:11.000 --> 01:06:13.219
was like, he's going in the clubhouse. Yeah.

01:06:14.920 --> 01:06:19.179
What would I give Andy? I haven't given Andy

01:06:19.179 --> 01:06:21.599
a lot of things, but. You have. You already have.

01:06:21.679 --> 01:06:24.440
We know. I've done a couple things I would give

01:06:24.440 --> 01:06:32.579
Andy, and I can't say it on here. Have you ever

01:06:32.579 --> 01:06:35.940
met him, Travis? No. We've talked on Twitter

01:06:35.940 --> 01:06:40.139
before. This was a million years ago. It was

01:06:40.139 --> 01:06:46.340
2012 when this all had not blown up quite yet.

01:06:46.820 --> 01:06:49.880
Radio Andy was a thing on SiriusXM, and I had

01:06:49.880 --> 01:06:53.469
just gotten a new car, so I had... serious xm

01:06:53.469 --> 01:06:55.849
and um i was like oh look at this guy that i'm

01:06:55.849 --> 01:06:57.489
listening to and like i tagged him in a tweet

01:06:57.489 --> 01:06:59.590
and he like responded i was like oh my god you're

01:06:59.590 --> 01:07:06.610
so cool i love that yeah i mean i was in real

01:07:06.610 --> 01:07:10.110
life he's he's a very sweet guy that i mean well

01:07:10.110 --> 01:07:11.570
i mean i don't really know him that well but

01:07:11.570 --> 01:07:13.889
what i've met of him he's a very sweet guy and

01:07:13.889 --> 01:07:16.889
his children are beautiful met his children um

01:07:17.480 --> 01:07:19.340
i mean it's just like a normal life the nanny

01:07:19.340 --> 01:07:25.719
brought him to work i mean i love that but um

01:07:25.719 --> 01:07:29.199
yeah hopefully uh maybe we'll all go see him

01:07:29.199 --> 01:07:32.539
again sometime soon let's let's do it it's funny

01:07:32.539 --> 01:07:34.679
because for new year's eve i posted like an ai

01:07:34.679 --> 01:07:38.300
picture of me andy and anderson this was uh in

01:07:38.300 --> 01:07:42.780
january and then they're coming to dc so the

01:07:42.780 --> 01:07:45.400
andy and anderson are coming to dc so we're gonna

01:07:45.400 --> 01:07:48.889
go see And I was like, well, who knows if we

01:07:48.889 --> 01:07:51.630
get to ask a question, let me get that picture

01:07:51.630 --> 01:07:57.050
made into real life that not AI. I call us the

01:07:57.050 --> 01:08:00.829
triple A's. Andy and Andreas. That works. That

01:08:00.829 --> 01:08:03.829
really works. In my head. In my head. I'll call

01:08:03.829 --> 01:08:08.570
you the triple A's. I don't care. But did you

01:08:08.570 --> 01:08:12.010
have anything else in your notes? The only thing

01:08:12.010 --> 01:08:13.590
I was going to ask is just your guys' opinion

01:08:13.590 --> 01:08:16.760
on Liz not returning. For season two. Sucks.

01:08:16.760 --> 01:08:19.979
I hate it. I hate it. I think she should come

01:08:19.979 --> 01:08:26.079
back for sure because redemption, you know, unresolved

01:08:26.079 --> 01:08:28.159
relationships. I mean, there's so much that could,

01:08:28.199 --> 01:08:30.800
you know. Why do you think, what do you think

01:08:30.800 --> 01:08:32.279
the real reason is? I mean, there's speculation.

01:08:32.699 --> 01:08:35.779
Liz even posted, it's not because of Dino. Like,

01:08:35.800 --> 01:08:38.479
stop saying that, you know. And I've never been

01:08:38.479 --> 01:08:40.720
investigated by the authorities. And, you know,

01:08:40.720 --> 01:08:45.399
she's very much negating those rumors. Do you

01:08:45.399 --> 01:08:47.560
want me to be completely honest with you? Yes,

01:08:47.560 --> 01:08:53.880
of course. I feel like she... I think there's

01:08:53.880 --> 01:08:55.779
some skeletons in the closet because there is

01:08:55.779 --> 01:08:58.699
some legal stuff that has come out. That's irrefutable.

01:08:59.140 --> 01:09:03.899
I think she has seen how hard Joellen is willing

01:09:03.899 --> 01:09:11.319
to go. And I think that that is... I can respect

01:09:11.319 --> 01:09:13.060
this because everyone has stuff they don't want

01:09:13.060 --> 01:09:15.119
out. Everyone has skeletons in their closet they

01:09:15.119 --> 01:09:19.000
don't want to deal with. And I think Liz is truly

01:09:19.000 --> 01:09:22.520
like, you know what? I've done it. I'm good.

01:09:22.659 --> 01:09:27.060
I don't want to deal with it if it does come

01:09:27.060 --> 01:09:30.399
to that. I think all this is going to pan out

01:09:30.399 --> 01:09:33.180
and she'll be back season three. I pray to God

01:09:33.180 --> 01:09:38.640
she does. I love Liz. I love Liz. I would love

01:09:38.640 --> 01:09:40.899
to even just see her in the background of, like,

01:09:40.920 --> 01:09:43.680
a party. You know, not even as a friend of, but

01:09:43.680 --> 01:09:46.000
just still see her. I mean... Well, if she's

01:09:46.000 --> 01:09:47.680
not on, maybe she'll become our friends. Who

01:09:47.680 --> 01:09:50.760
knows? Well, I am going to Rhode Island, so we

01:09:50.760 --> 01:09:57.000
will see. Yeah, I... Like, I didn't like her

01:09:57.000 --> 01:09:58.880
at the very last few episodes and reunion. I

01:09:58.880 --> 01:10:01.739
wasn't really a fan. But same as the way you

01:10:01.739 --> 01:10:04.819
need Ashley. you know the medium housewife you

01:10:04.819 --> 01:10:08.899
need to have a liz too so yeah i am i'm upset

01:10:08.899 --> 01:10:12.000
i wouldn't even call her a villain in those last

01:10:12.000 --> 01:10:15.119
few episodes it's just like i think like we saw

01:10:15.119 --> 01:10:17.619
some stuff that needed to like she needs to work

01:10:17.619 --> 01:10:19.880
on and like i think that's the cool part about

01:10:19.880 --> 01:10:23.079
housewives is like if you if you if you hold

01:10:23.079 --> 01:10:24.579
these women accountable if they're willing to

01:10:24.579 --> 01:10:27.300
be held accountable for some of their some of

01:10:27.300 --> 01:10:31.359
the ways they mess up i think that you get solid

01:10:31.359 --> 01:10:34.140
gold from these women like i it's just i don't

01:10:34.140 --> 01:10:35.819
know it sucks that she's not coming back for

01:10:35.819 --> 01:10:38.399
season two i mean she reminds me of an aunt and

01:10:38.399 --> 01:10:42.079
when when auntie liz is angry we just leave her

01:10:42.079 --> 01:10:43.880
alone and let her do what she's gonna do until

01:10:43.880 --> 01:10:51.520
she comes back two hands like that but Now that

01:10:51.520 --> 01:10:53.920
it's all said and done, now that we have everything

01:10:53.920 --> 01:10:56.920
we know about this season is what we know, who

01:10:56.920 --> 01:10:59.460
would you want to be friends with from this cast

01:10:59.460 --> 01:11:03.779
of women? Pick one, or we all know if we're picking

01:11:03.779 --> 01:11:06.539
one, who's picked who we're picking. Who are

01:11:06.539 --> 01:11:08.560
we picking? Are we all going to say it on three?

01:11:09.220 --> 01:11:13.100
No. I would definitely do Joellen. Okay. Obviously.

01:11:13.939 --> 01:11:21.649
Number two would probably be, I don't know. Probably

01:11:21.649 --> 01:11:26.109
Rosie. Okay. What about you, Chantel? He always

01:11:26.109 --> 01:11:28.750
steals my answers. It's really annoying. But

01:11:28.750 --> 01:11:31.289
Joellen, for sure. I would love to hang out with

01:11:31.289 --> 01:11:35.229
her. Oh, my gosh. And like I said last time when

01:11:35.229 --> 01:11:38.109
I was on here, I like Rosie. I'm bummed that

01:11:38.109 --> 01:11:40.130
the event I was going to go to to meet her got

01:11:40.130 --> 01:11:43.649
postponed until the fall. So that didn't happen.

01:11:43.770 --> 01:11:49.010
But, yeah, I like Rosie. Fair. obviously i'm

01:11:49.010 --> 01:11:51.010
gonna say joelle and i think she's just the coolest

01:11:51.010 --> 01:11:53.810
woman i would also want to be friends with ashley

01:11:53.810 --> 01:11:56.170
like i i that answer has not changed for me i

01:11:56.170 --> 01:11:58.689
think she's just she's a cool girl like i think

01:11:58.689 --> 01:12:01.710
like and like i feel like if you're friends with

01:12:01.710 --> 01:12:04.750
ashley like you're that is a friend i like i

01:12:04.750 --> 01:12:07.670
want to be her friend but i feel like ashley

01:12:07.670 --> 01:12:10.250
is feasible like that's an easy one like we could

01:12:10.250 --> 01:12:11.989
