There's been a lot of like people really, you know, come through and my family and friends. I mean, I have. Some people at this table have been incredibly. I mean, you all have. But with their wallets. Have been supportive, but then also just energy and all of it, it's been a journey. So all of it, it's been a journey. So I love when people use the word journey because they don't know what else to say. So, like, I've been on a journey, or good luck to you on your journey. This is a journey we're all on. It's like you just don't know what else to say. So you say the word journey. I love it. That was a clip from this week's episode of Summer House. Now, you might notice that it wasn't a clip from the upcoming reunion of Summer House, which there are clips that are going around the Internet. If you have not been paying attention to the Bravo sphere lately, you need to know that there are clips from the reunion audio clips of the reunion going around the Internet. I've seen them on social media. They're all over the place. And Bravo had to really tighten up the leash because they were getting frustrated that the leak was coming out. And this was when there was only one leak. And since the first leak, there's been three or four other. Or three other leaks, I think, from that same reunion, despite the fact that Bravo has come out with a statement saying that they did find out who the leak was, somebody in production, and they were let go. They're no longer in production, but the leaks are still coming out. And it's not even just the audio leaks of the reunion. It's also somebody leaked West Nudes, which I encourage you not to seek out for multiple different reasons. You might accidentally see him, and then it's a shock to the eyes. And it's not something. Anyway, there's a lot of leaks going around. More leaks than when I tried the cheap diapers on my son. I mean, that was. There's a lot of leaks going on in the Summer House stratosphere. And I do think they're taking it seriously. And I'd be upset if they weren't taking the leaks from the reunion audio seriously, because I'd be pissed. I'd say, let's save it for the show. We don't want all the, you know, if Bravo wasn't making any moves in regards to taking down these leaks, I would be upset. However, Angel, Devil, the other part of me is like, okay, let's calm it down. Because I feel like they're releasing statements with these on their Instagram. The Bravo Accounts are the main Bravo accounts releasing these statements with like the just font on a black screen. And it's like, we're taking these very seriously. We, you know, and they're giving us updates and it's like, what are we. What is going on? This is a reunion for a reality show. And they're just taking the leaks very, maybe a little too seriously. Am I wrong for that? I just feel like, again, I would be upset if they didn't take it seriously. But then all these like black squares on the Instagram account, it's like everybody needs to calm it down a little bit. But I under. And I'm talking about the audio, not just. Not the west nude part of it, which again, do not seek out, but the audio leaks. I did. Look, I'm. I'm not proud of this. Of course I shouldn't have listened to them, but I did listen to. I don't know when some leak came across my timeline. I don't know which if it was the first one or the third one. I don't know. But the one that I did hear, it did feel frustrating because it sounded like Amanda and West have no remorse. And obviously it's just like a leak audio taken out of context. And Wes is barely even talking. I'm like, open your mouth, sir. Yosemite Sam. That's what he looked like in this week's episode to me. He looked like he's somebody seeing him with that hat and that stupid ass mustache. But anyway, that's not the point. The point is in the audio, it sounds like Wes is even talking. Amanda's taking all the brunt of things. And then Amanda sounds like such a dummy. No remorse. Sounds like there's no remorse. Again, this is like a little clip. So how do we even tell? Because the reunion, they filmed for 12 hours. So what are we going to get from a little clip? And I encourage you not to seek it out because it's inappropriate. You should not be. But unfortunately, some of us accidentally heard the leaks. And so I feel like I have to discuss it, but it pisses me off. It really PMO'd me because you thought. I thought at least. I don't know, we're gonna have to see the whole reunion. But at least I thought there'd be some remorse. And Kyle Cook actually also posted on social media written regards to the leaks because people were saying it sounds like Amanda and Wes. Wes is not even talking. Amanda's showing no remorse. And Kyle came out. And I don't have the exact wording in Front of me. But he said something like, yeah, Wes doesn't stick up for Amanda at all. Like, just. Just throws Amanda under the bus. And Amanda, like, what the are you doing? Like, you need to get it together, girl. I hate to say it, but you need to. And she should be the one who should hush your mouth, girl. Like, you should have just been quiet at the reunion and let west take the some of it. That would have been a better play. Instead it's like everything she said sounded dumber than the last thing she said. I'm like, why are you being such a dummy and mean to Sierra? It's like, I don't know. At least what I heard. Again, it was like two little. And again, do not seek it out because it's inappropriate. Bravo will get mad at you and then they'll probably release some black box statement on their Instagram saying like, I'm mad at this person for listening to the leaks, you know, and then you'll be fucked for the rest of your life in the career. Because I guarantee that person in production who did this leak, Andy Cohen, probably sent a letter to every network out there and was like, do not hire this person. And so that person's fucked. And they better find a new career path and. Because they're fucked up. And so I don't know who leaked it. There's also this like, crazy rumor going around that Jennifer Lawrence is the one who found it out. Because Andy went on his radio show and said that it was a fan that found out who the leak was. And then people were speculating that it's Jennifer Lawrence. Now I understand we're all getting a little crazy with all these conspiracy theories on the Bravo network. I had a crazy conspiracy theory the other day. What was it? It wasn't Bravo related. Oh, the Doritos. I have a. Should I even say it? I probably shouldn't say it on microphone. Some people get mad when I do these little detours. But buckle up, buttercup, because I'm going to tell you, this conspiracy theory I had the other day. You know the Doritos, how they're doing those naked Doritos? Do you know what I'm talking about? They're in the white bag and they don't have any of the. They're not orange, so they're just like a tortilla chip because they got rid of all the dyes or whatever. And so they're selling both. They're selling the regular old fashioned Doritos with the orange dyed flavor crystals or the ranch ones, whatever. And then they have the naked ones, which are supposed to be like the same. And, and I'll be honest with you, like, I understand the health benefits of the naked ones, but the regular ones do taste better. They just do. And I can say that as someone who's bought both recently. And so my conspiracy theory though is over the past handful of years, I've noticed that they don't put as many flavor crystals on the Doritos. You buy a bag of the cooler ranch Doritos or the traditional nacho cheese ones. They don't have as many flavor crystals as they did 15 years ago. But I just had a bag of the regular ones the other day and they seemed to have the bag I had had a lot of flavor crystals on. And I was like, blown away. I'm like, what is this? Am I back in the 90s? What year is it? It was like Robin Williams waking up in Jumanji, like, where are we? When are we? And then. So my conspiracy theory is that since they introduced those naked ones, they had to split the difference. So there's like half of the regular ones are on the shelves as there used to be maybe. And so they have a lot of extra flavor crystals of the, the dyed ones for the orange nacho cheese ones or the cooler ranch. And so the traditional bags are getting extra flavor crystals on them now again. And I think it's also going to fuck up the selling of the naked ones because anyone who's buying both is going to realize that the old fashioned ones have more flavor crystals. They're. They're better because back in the day used to get you pick up a Dorito and that each one would have, it would be loaded in the dangerously dyed flavor crystals. But I do understand the health benefits. I'm just saying that's my conspiracy theory is that they're throwing more flavor crystals on the old fashioned ones. Now what are we talking about? Okay. This week on the show Summer House. Oh, so we, I think we talked about everything going on Jennifer Lawrence, we talked about all the stuff going on outside of the Summer House universe. And look, I can't wait for the reunion. The leaks are kind of taking the air out of the tires of the reunion. And at the same time, I don't feel like I learned anything new even from reading, like recaps of the other leaks that I did not hear. It seems like everything that you could sort of expect from the reunion is in the Lee. So it's like nothing was that surprising other than I would have thought Amanda and West would have said something and that Amanda would have had more remorse, but I don't know. I guess we'll see for the whole thing. But. Okay. This week we open on everyone getting ready to go on the boat. And remember, Sierra and Wes last week had that makeup at the end, which is just so hard to. So hard to see. And then even seeing them at the opening this week when everybody else shows up to the boat because they're having this boat day. And so west and Sierra were there making up and everyone on the way to this boat trip was so excited about, like, oh, I hope they made up. I hope when we get there they're holding hands or something. And then they were like, Sierra and West had their hands up and they're like, we're best friends. I'm like, I have the fucking chills. I have the chills. Meanwhile, Amanda's falling asleep on the couch back home because she's not. I'm assuming that's what she's doing because everybody says she's lazy and sounds like she is lazy. She didn't even want to show up to work this weekend. And it's like, at least clock into work. Amanda or what are they. What were they calling her? Mandy or what was it? Didn't Wes call her Mandy somewhere? Am I making that up? Anyway, they're all getting ready to go on a boat and they're packing snacks. Before they even leave to meet Sierra and Wes, they're packing snacks. And I gotta say, I do love packing a summertime scene. Like a nice ham and Swiss in a sandwich bag because you know you're going to the beach or something. To me, that's ideal. Maybe a turkey mayo, a little iceberg on there. I think it's fantastic to get those sandwich bags and I prefer those sandwich bags without the like, they Ziploc, great. But I like those. Speaking of old fashioned, those ones where you put them in and then it had the flip top. They were the cheaper ones. Those are the ones we always had. My mom was not spending the extra 20 cents on the Ziploc. When I was growing up. She had the traditional sandwich bags. You had to like, you put the Hammond Swiss in there and then it flipped to close it. You know, I'm talking about. It was not the Ziploc ones. Anyway. I love packing a nice sandwich for the afternoon for when you get somewhere in the summertime and put them in maybe a cooler, put some fruit or some. A good pasta salad in the summertime with the sandwich at a picnic. Potato salad A nice potato salad, homemade though nuts and store bought. Get out of here with your store bought. Unless it's from like an artisanal place, you cannot have a store bought potato salad or pasta salad. My mom taught me that. I know that much. I know that much is true. Sister yes. I say sister yes. Sister yes. If somebody shows up with a homemade potato salad. Otherwise, Sister no. Sister, get out. Get the out of here with your store bought potato salad again if you don't have time. Maybe. Anyway, Kyle asked Mia if Sierra still has feelings for west on the way to the boat and Kyle like wants Sierra and West to get together. And that was like making me sad. I had the chills from that too. Meanwhile, they all get there. Weston, Sierra are holding hands and the group is so excited to see him. West is wearing an Elwood hat, which fun fact, I think I mentioned this on the show. I used to work on the this Cleveland morning show called Good Company and the camera operator, his name was Elwood and he was the voice of youf've got mail and AOL. You know when he'd open up AOL in the 90s and say you've got Mail? That was Elwood. He had like gotten hired to provide the vocals for you've Got Mail and then he also did you've Got Pictures and what was the other one? I don't know. But he was the voice of that and I worked with him. I interned at this morning show and he was the nicest guy and I you've Got Mail is my all time favorite movie. And so I would always ask him to do the you've Got Mail and he said people would always come up to him and ask him when they knew this fact. They would ask him to do like outgoing messages. And I wish I could get him to do an outgoing message. Now. Is he. I don't know. I don't know if he's still with us, but he was such a gem of a man. And then we cut to the boat. Carl gets a video of Jesse because Jesse's weren't. Jesse was like all over the soft bar merch. Did you notice that this week Jesse Solomon, who's by the way on touring now and the clips are showing up on my TikTok. And to all of you who've gone to one of those live events where Jesse Solomon is singing braver than the Marines. Braver than the Marines you are because the fact that you're spending a not only your hard earned cash in this economy and which I don't know how much the tickets are? I'm assuming they're cost money and they're not paying us, which maybe they should, but that's neither here nor there. The point is they're getting crowds into these places to listen to Jesse Solomon sing. And I'm seeing clips, all of my social media pages. And you're brave. You're very brave. Very brave. What was that song? I wanna see you be brave. Show me how big your brave is. People got some big ass braves who are going to these Jesse Solomon concerts. But anyway, you would think Jesse would start wearing hats that said like Jesse Solomon in concert instead of all the soft bar merch. Cause he was the whole episod wearing soft bar on the boat. And then later at the soft bar opening, I'm like, Carl's getting all this free advertising out of that Jesse fucking Solomon. And Jesse needs to have a business brain on his shoulders and start thinking about launching his own stuff instead of doing all of Carl's soft bar merch. Because Carl wasn't even wearing the soft bar merch. Did I see him? Not one time in the soft bar merch. And meanwhile, Jesse's all over the place on camera in the soft bar merch. Then we have Sierra and Mirror are talking. Sierra says west is her person and she can't ignore it. She's trying to be less rigid. You know what? This, it's hard to even keep talking about the Sierra, West, Amanda of it all because I feel like we've said everything we're going to say. The one thing I want to say right in regards to this is it frustrates me. One of the things that's most annoying about west in this moment is like Sierra keeps saying how rigid she is with friends. She's been saying that all season about how she's trying to go into the season being a little. I forgot her word is less rigid in this episode. And it's like now she's doing that, she's making a valiant effort to do that. And then here come, here go hell come. And west and Amanda are gonna fuck that up. And those of us who've gone through therapy and stuff, you know how hard it is when you're trying to change something about that you don't like about yourself. It's very challenging when you've been a certain way your whole life. It's not so easy to just like adapt a new trait. It takes a lot of work and effort. And it seems like to me just watching the show that Sierra is making an effort to do that. And yet west and those two dummies are gonna fuck it up for her because she's trying to trust and be less rigid. And then now they're fucking up. So she's probably gonna be more rigid by the end of this, and that's fucked. That's not right. And if nothing else, Amanda and West should have some sympathy or empathy or what's the word I'm looking for? They should want forgiveness for that, because that. That is really, to me, one of the most sad things about the whole saga of that is she was making an effort to change something she didn't like about herself. And it's just going to make the thing that she wanted to change worse because she's going to be probably more rigid as anyone would, because it's like. It's fucked up anyway. They all play in the water. And I would never. In this boat trip, I would never, never. They were all in. That was the lake water. I don't like the water. I'm not a water person. I'm not interested in being in the water, especially water that I cannot see through. If I can't tell where the jellyfish is underneath me, then get me. I don't even want to go in a clear blue water, let alone any sort of murky water. If it's even a little murky. If the bath is murky, I don't want to be in it. Speaking of bath, do you guys see Gwyneth Paltrow? I saw this clip of her that she said she takes a bath every single night. Every single night. Every single night she takes a bath. She said she can't go to bed until she. And she said if there's no bathtub, she at least has to take the shower right before bed. You know, I kind of get that part of things. I do like to wash the day off of me. I don't get the bath. I'm not a big. I enjoy a bath every once in a while. Unless it's murky water. Unless it's murky water. But I do understand, like, washing of the day. I don't even like to sit on the bed or. We've talked about that. I don't. If I'm in my outside clothes, I feel just. I don't want to be dirty. And so I get that. But a bath every night is a lot. That's a lot. Okay, so then where are we at here? They're playing in the water. KJ Is sick. On the boat, that would have been me. Even if I Wasn't sick. I'd be like, sorry, production. I can't get in the water. I'm sick. Can't do it. Amanda, though, calls Kyle and he asks for Sierra. And they talk about the west thing. And it's so awkward because Amanda is only mad, like. And it was pointed out later in the episode, Kyle's like, you should see my text thread with Amanda. And he's sending her all these texts, like, miss you, babe, and like, all that kind of stuff. She doesn't respond to any of it. The only time she responded was, like, in the group text. West said it was the best day ever. And Amanda got pissed about that. And it's like, oh, my God, this is, like, so fucked up. Like, so scary to me. I think this relationship was going on for a while, and I'm excited to see at the reunion how that goes. But it feels like for a while. Then we have Mia talking to Dara about how KJ is younger. And you know, how her and Sierra were a little concerned about Dara and KJ getting together so quickly because it only been a couple weeks. And so she's. Mia's talking some sense into Dare about it and. Because now they're official and they can't backtrack it now because I think somebody at one point, Dara's like, ah, this would be upsetting if it was backtrack. Anyway, the boys do talk about how Kyle looks so good at 43, and he really does. They say something. They're all the boys are sitting on the boat and they're like, wow, Kyle, you look, like, ripped for. How do you keep this body and this skin? And I think we talked about last week how it was going viral, about how Kyle's skin is so good and it's like, it is sick. It is like, I don't know what sort of devil's blood he's drinking, but his skin and his body, I mean, he looks good at 43 for 4. Not that 43. I'm not saying 43 is old or anything, but Kyle, like, looks really young, truly. And I don't know. I should have asked when I did watch what Happens live, I should have asked, like, what are. What are we doing? Like, what are you doing? What is this skinny care? Like, what's the Botox situation? What are we doing? Is it just. Is it just bo? I'm assuming there's Botox, but, you know, I have these theories about how people are doing Botox these days. I think the trick is you gotta do. You gotta do tricky stuff. Like, I. I think we talked about Brad Pitt, obviously, I think got some sort of facelift situation, but then keeps wrinkles. And so I think that tricks. Tricks the eye because you're like, oh, they have some, like, wrinkles by their eyes, so they probably didn't do anything. But really it's like that strategic to keep some wrinkles or some signifiers that you're older or aging. And then also getting the facelift. So you. You still. You look really young. But then it's like, it tricks the other person into thinking like, oh, actually they're not doing anything because they still got wrinkles on the eyes. Does that make sense? So it's like, what is Kyle doing? I need to know. I need to know. But he says that he's happy about Amanda not being there. He says he feels like he irritates Amanda by just being himself. And Jesse Solomon, the way he was reacting to this was like, well, the reality is you just love each other's faults, and if you don't, then I guess something else is gonna happen. It's like, okay, Jesse Solomon, like, Jesse. Jesse trying to, like, give Kyle relationship advice. Jesse trying to give anyone relationship advice. But especially, like, a married couple. Like, it's just out of Jesse's dep. He's like, well, you know, some people are married, and it was a few weeks ago. He's like, talking to west on a pool float, and he's like, they're married. But I just thought when you're married, you just aren't that close. I love these shows, but they all have fun at the lake or whatever. Then they go home and they all wash the water off. And then west hugs Sierra for an extremely long period of time. In that dumbass hat. In that dumbass hat again. Just his Yosemite Sam looking ass. What was it? Didn't. Did Yosemite Sam have a catchphrase? I should know this. I'm a Looney Tunes junkie, but I can't. Didn't he say varmints or something? I'm gonna get these varmints. That's what I feel like Wes is gonna start saying next week on the show. It's like, I'm gonna catch these varmints. Varmints? Am I even saying that word right? I should look up Yosemite Sam catchphrase. I don't normally do live research on the show, as you know, because a lot of times when I get things wrong, you collect me or correct me on the. On the podcast. So I don't normally do that, but I'm doing it right now. Okay, so these are Yosemite Sam's catchphrases. He's known for shouting varmint. So I was right. He also says, now say your prayers, you long eared glute. What's the word glute mean? I hope that's not like an outdated term. Let's look that up too. You guys are just listening to me Google right now. Okay, a glute is an informal, often affectionate term for foolish, clumsy, or awkward person, typically referring to a man. We need to start adding this to the lexicon. So you could say, ah, you big galoot, or he's a harmless galoot who always knocks things over. Okay, we're going to start using galoot. So, yeah, so Yosemite Sam often calls Bugs Bunny a galoot. He says, now say your prayers, you long eared galoot. A foolish person. Okay, so we need to start using that. Obviously, the name of this episode is going to be west as a glute or something, except for it's not affectionate. I don't want to be affectionate. West is like a demon galoot. G A L T O O T. Okay, glute. So let's all try to think of ways to use galoot. But anyways, he looks like Yosemite Sam, that dumbass galoot. And then what was that hat? I felt like that hat he was wearing was just pissing me off the whole episode. It looked like something you'd get at a Margaritaville restaurant. You know, you'd get the. You'd go to Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, which, by the way, has my favorite nachos. I don't know what I love those fucking nachos at a Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville restaurant. Ugh. And I love a chain restaurant in general, but to me, a Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville restaurant is just. It's where I want to be most of the time. Like, I just want to be in front of a big ass plate of Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville nachos in Vegas. They got one. But you got to be careful when you go. When you go to one of those places, they usually have that gift shop attached. And that's where I feel like you find West's hat. No offense to Jimmy Buffett, but it was like I feel like they've had that hat in the Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville shop that's attached to the restaurant. And after I finish my nachos, I go in there, but I don't try on the hats, because that's how you get lice. Ladies, am I right? Let's take a break here because I feel like I'm sounding crazy. We'll be right back. I want to thank Acasta. Stay tuned, you gentle glutes. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Because life is really a mix. And some days feel manageable, other days feel overwhelming. It's easy to assume we're supposed to just figure it all on our own, but for me, it's usually those late night thoughts running through everything I needed to do the next day, things I haven't figured out yet, or just the general feeling like, am I doing everything right?

I love getting in bed. I've looked into blackout curtains, supplements, new pillows, and suddenly it becomes this whole production. But then I realized the thing that really needs upgrading in bed is the stuff that you're sleeping in and on every night. Which is why I switched to bowl and branch. Now, before my sheets were okay, they were starting to feel worn out, kind of rough, not as soft as they used to be. My bed just didn't feel like that. It was inviting at the end of the day and once I switched, it was one of those immediate differences. The sheets are incredibly soft, breathable, and just feel better the second you slip into bed. I started with their signature sheets and then I added the waffle blanket, which I've talked about before. I love the waffle blanket, especially during the summer months. It's great. In place of a comforter, it made the whole bed feel complete. It's that hotel level feeling, but at home, cooler, more comfortable, and honestly just nicer to sleep in. The more I've used them, the softer they've gotten, which I didn't even know was possible. It's one of those upgrades where you don't realize how much it matters until you do it.

Now, if you've ever owned a pet, you know they run on their own logic. They again jump first and they think later. Ask questions never. It's part of what makes them so lovable, but it's how you end up with those surprise vet visits that you didn't see coming. And the ASPCA Pet Health Insurance helps cover eligible vet expenses. So when those moments happen, you can focus on getting them the care they need without overthinking the cost. When you enroll in an ASPCA Pet health insurance plan, you can get a $25Amazon gift card. It's a little treat for you while you're doing something great for your pet. The program also offers customizable accident and illness plans, making it easier to get your pet the care they may need because big vet bills never show up when it's convenient, do they?

And we're back. This is not fun. Summer should be fine, right? So they're all back at the house. They took the showers and stuff to go out for the night. Wes has that really long hug with Sierra and that dumbass hat. Then Sierra talks to Sabrina. We gotta talk about Sabrina. And I again, always try to defend my Sabrina. You know, I root for the underdog. And so I gotta say Sabrina, she. What a. How do I put this in a nice way? What the is she wearing all the time? Every time I see her on screen, it's like she's wearing some aggressive choker or some crazy ass boots. Like, what is where? How. Who's. Is anyone in her life looking at her before she heads in front of the red light? Like, what's. Is. Am I. Is it just a style for young people that I'm not aware of? Maybe it's like what's in fashion? I don't know. But every time I see it, I'm like, what's happening here? And she's not even a main cast member on the show. And I see her and I think like, what is. What are you. What? Who did this? How is this happening? Like, what who? And I want to root for Sabrina. And she's, she's quirky and weird and I like that. But you know, I root for these. I root for my underdogs. You know, I'm still rooting for Bailey and Levi. Levi. Levi. I think Bailey's getting another season, right? She is. I think she is. She's got to. And then. Okay, so what are we talking about? KJ is asleep. KJ sleeps through the rest of the episode. I love him. He just literally slept through the rest of the episode. Also, Sabrina. Sabrina actually kind of threw the other one, Ben, under the bus because Ben west had told Ben that he got a crush on Sierra again. And then Ben told Sabrina, and then Sabrina told other people or something. Sabrina really is. Speaking of getting in the mix. Sabrina is, like, just doing whatever she can. She's, like, throwing pasta at the wall, just seeing what sticks. And it's might work for next season because I'm like, Sabrina might be back. She might be a main cast member next season because she's seemingly a little reality TV nuts. And that's a specific. Reality TV nuts is a different kind of nuts, you know? Then Carl says a soft bar is coming soon. Carl throws Kyle under the bus in that clip saying about not investing. And I'm on Kyle's side because, like, why would Kyle invest in something else? Even before. Even before the whole thing with Amanda and Kyle, and we learned how Amanda is actually a snake in the grass, according to what is going on. I think that Kyle should have never invested in Softbar. He's got his own things going on with his money. Like, why. Why is. Should he be obligated to invest at Carl's? Like, I think I'm not on Carl's side at all with that. But the soft bar looks good. It looks like a nice place. Even though I didn't. I've never thought it could. I never was really thinking it would survive, but maybe it will survive. Then we cut to Saturday. Some of them go out. Let's see. This is when Kyle texts Amanda. They get back at night, and he's, like, texting me, and she don't respond. And Amanda only responded to Wes saying, best night ever. Then the next day, let's see. Oh, Jesse. Jesse. Okay, we're gonna talk about this for 45 minutes. So pull up for driving because Jesse went to the restroom, and they show it on screen. Sierra, like, went to the room. I don't even know what they talked about because Jesse was, like, coming out of the bathroom, and then he just does this. He barely. He barely washes his hands. Like, he does, like, a little sprinkle. And Sierra's like, is that how you wash your hands? And he's like, oh, I'm. I just did it. And it's like, actually, you need to go back in there and scrub out some soap. Like, you need to get those grippers clean. I don't know. Trust Jesse Solomon. Just pissing all over the place and then coming out of the bathroom. And all these men on Summer House are all, like, trying to touch all these women, you know, like, we talked about how west kept going up to Bailey a couple weeks ago. It's like rubbing her shoulders and all this stuff, and then to see it with our own eyes about how they piss and then wash their hands. It's like, I wouldn't want any of them touching me with those dirty grippers. I mean, because we saw he just barely sprinkled them. And listen, as a man who's gone to public restroom before this, this happens with straight guys all the time. They go into those restrooms and a lot of them just leave. They just leave. They go piss in the urinal, and then they just head on out. They don't even go to the sink to do it, even a sprinkle. So I guess Jesse, I didn't want to give him credit because why is the bar so low? And the only bar that you need in the bathroom is a bar of soap. And you need to scrub those grippers and clean them. Because Sierra walked in, she's like, you just wash your hands like that. And he's like, yeah, oh, yeah, I did. That's how I do it. And it's like, you need to get back in there and sing a song. Remember during the early days of the pandemic where they were like, okay, you have to sing Happy Birthday while you scrub? And now I'm not saying we need all that time. I think people got a little nuts when Covid started, and people got a little nuts of like, you need to spend. It felt like I can't do two minutes in front of the sink singing Taylor Swift's all too well. 10 minute version. That's like the kind of thing they would release. Like, the CDC would be like, well, you got to sing Taylor Swift's All Too well. And then by the end of it, your hands are clean and it's like, that's a little too long. Like, I don't have. I don't have time for that. But you still need to rub them with soap and get some friction in there. And also another tip I have for you all. If you're cleaning your grippers or if you're somewhere where you. You can't exactly there's no sink or something. Like if you're out in the wilderness, you get stuck in the woods or something. You gotta know that friction also helps kill germs. So like if there's, If I am ever concerned, like did you ever go somewhere and you like touch a railing and you think like, oh, there's probably so many germs on this railing. But I don't have sanitizer, I don't have a wipe, I don't have something. Then what you do is. What I'll do is I will rub my hand on my back, the one that touched the rail. I will rub it on like my, maybe my lower back or somewhere that I'm like not touching regularly. Like a sweatshirt or something. If I have something else to rub it because the friction kills germs. I remember hearing that somewhere. I don't know if it's accurate, but I did hear that. So I'm assuming it's true. I'm assuming it's true, but I think friction. So if I don't have soap or hand sanitizer or spray or antibacterial wipes or something, which I normally do, I carry those with me everywhere. I do always, Always. But if I don't, then it's friction. I think friction will kill the germs. Do it. But anyway, yeah, I am pissed about him not being able to clean those grippers. Maybe, man. Jesse says he's happy with west and Sierra as friends. Then Mia comes in and joins him to talk about Kyle. And this is where Jesse's like, Kyle and Amanda haven't had sex for years. That's right. Carl told him. Carl spilled the beans. I guess Carl's running around that house and being like, guess who's not Kyle and Amanda. And then of course Jesse's not gonna keep a secret. If, if you got a secret, you don't tell Jesse Solomon. He'll be singing it probably at his show. Your. Your secrets. So you do not tell Jesse Solomon when you got something. That dirty handed gripper man is just gonna be running around the house telling everybody. Sierra tickles Jesse though. And Jesse is like a toddler. And there's like this weird and I. They're all close, but it was like Sierra was tickling Jesse and they all. Jesse's sort of like a toddler more than anybody else. And they treat him as such because Sierra's like, oh my God, you spilled that secret. I'm gonna tickle you. And I was like, what's going on? He's a grown man. Anyway, it's weird watching. It's weird watching this age group in general on Bravo because, gosh, it happens with the Valley, too. But like, Kyle and Amanda, they're older and married, and we've seen their whole relationship play out. And I'm noticing that on the Valley that's. It's hard to watch these people that we've seen forever settling down with kids in an early part of marriage or early part of that relationship, post kids, because we've seen them forever. And with housewives, we meet them after they're married. And so when they go through rough times, I don't know, it doesn't hit as hard in the same way as, like, when we see. Does this make any sense? Like, so if. If we had a new housewife on Beverly Hills or some franchise who had just had a baby and their husband was acting the way maybe Luke and Danny are acting, if we were just getting to know them, I don't know that we would be as if affected. But with someone like Kristen, who we've known forever, seeing her get mistreated by her husband or by her significant other, Luke, they're not married, but that hard to watch. Harder to watch because we met them pre marriage. And so this age group with, like, Kyle and Amanda, it does feel very depressing because they're sort of growing up, but they're miserable. Whereas housewives, we meet them post this point, I don't know if I'm making sense. Mia does the red light therapy. I've been doing that for my knee. You guys told me. I told you about the knee troubles. And a lot of physical therapists reached out to me, were like, danny, you actually can sprint. I think the point my doctor was making is like, the. The Barry's Bootcamp sprints that I do in the workout class that I take, I do them a little too hard and too fast, and it's maybe bad on my joints, but I still. I'm not saying I. I'm not gonna be running. Like, I'm still gonna be running. I just have to be careful with, like, those kind of sprints, especially as my joints are healing and I need to be cognizant of it. But the point is, I did get one of those red light therapies, which a lot of people use on their face. They have the face mask red light therapies, and I don't know if those work. Can people tell me if they like the red light therapies on their face? I got. So I got this, like, knee wrap. It goes around the knee. And I use them at night. I put them. I do both knees. Like, as soon as the baby goes down. That's like my. That's papa time. Papa goes and puts on a show. I was watching last night. I was watching Catching up on Southern hospitality. You guys, what's going on with Emmy on Southern hospitality? Like, what the fuck? The. What's going on with her? What is happening? Every time she talks, I'm like, girl, it's like shocking to me. Emmy and I think she's like a good reality TV star. But, like, also, what the fuck? Anyway, I put my. Put the thing on my knee, the red light therapy on my knee. And I. They said, like, when. The thing that I researched said it takes like six weeks. Because I'm like, am I noticing any difference? But people do the red light therapies all over. I've been hearing a lot about the biomat. Have you guys heard about this? But it's like, way too expensive. So I don't know if there's like knockoffs or whatever, but the biomass. That's not red light, is it? I don't know. The red light therapy. I'm like, should I be doing that on my face? Does Kyle Cook do it? Does he do red light therapy? Because if so, I need to maybe invest in one of those masks, and if so, which one's a good one to get? Do we know that? Does anyone have any information? Because I feel like if you go on Amazon or one of those sites, you type in red light therapy, there's too many, and I don't know, I'm overwhelmed. There's too many things you got to do just to keep your body intact. The fuck? Okay, so then we cut to in the city. Sierra and KJ are getting some grills. Levi and Bali. I always say Levi's name wrong, and here I am saying Bailey's name wrong. But they're planning an it girl two year anniversary party. Then Amanda and Sierra go walking with Amanda's dog. Amanda said something about wanting a stroller. I'm like, you do not. You're a fucking liar because you're cheating on your husband. Disgusting. Sierra says Amanda, though, missed her and west making up. And Amanda says she spent the weekend falling into depression and then she just came from couples therapy. Amanda says there's no romance and then tells the story. She. She's always throwing Kyle under the bus. And this is where, you know, I'm starting to see how she does it in her confessional. She's always playing the victim And I think I. I don't know if she thinks she's the victim or if, like, if she actually thinks she's a victim or if she's trying to manipulate the audience. Because now I'm looking, I'm like, oh, is she manipulating all of us? Is she trying to bamboozle us? Because that's kind of what I'm noticing is that, like, she always acting like the victim. And then she talks about how in the couples therapy session, which, God bless, they're going to the couples therapy, but at this point they need to cut their losses and run, get the out because it's. It's bad. But she says that she's always talking about their relationship pre wedding and Kyle talks about it post wedding, which is like, well, why are you talking that I was again, on Kyle's side despite the fact that he cheated on her pre wedding. Because I don't know, it's like if you forgave your husband for that, they're now husband and wife. If you forgave him for those things. And you guys have moved on, like, how can you be in couples therapy still bringing up all those things? Obviously it still impacted you. But then you shouldn't have got married. Like, you should have been so such a dummy and gotten married. And Sierra's like, maybe you guys should separate for two weeks or a month. And she's like, yeah, that would be a good idea. But Kyle want to go for it. And it's like, well, you're dummy. I'm sorry. I keep calling her a dummy. She's maybe more of a glute. What was that? That definition again? Galoot. Yeah, she's kind of a dummy. Galoot. Okay, so then we get to the soft bar. Let's take a quick break because I have so many thoughts about Sharon, you guys.

Carl's mom, Sharon, who we're going to talk about after the break, will be right back. Find me on social media. Danny Pellegrino. Go to everything iconic store if you want merch. I also have signed copies of my books available there. Or you can get them at your local bookstore. It was just independent bookstore day. The other day I went to my favorite independent bookstore, the last bookstore here in Studio City or not in Studio City, here in Los Angeles. There's also one downtown la, but it's the best independent bookstore. They sell used books. I always go there for my used books books, but also go to any independent bookstore. I just found out, you guys, this is a very regional conversation I have back in Ohio. I'm from Northeast Ohio. I grew up in Solon, Ohio and my sister in law just sent me a message that they're opening Barnes and Noble in the same place as where I used to work at the Borders in Solon. Borders Books when I was in high school. My favorite job. I loved it but that closed down because obviously all the Borders books closed down and they put in. I think there was like maybe an Ulta Beauty there or something. I think the same location, but they are putting a Barnes and Noble big ass Barnes and Noble there. So everything comes back around. It makes me so happy because that, it kind of devastated me. We love an Ulta Beauty, but like it devastated me that the bookstore that I worked in and that I, I spent so much time in there even before I worked there with like go read magazines. I'd go get the Details or the Advocate, gay magazine and then I'd put some like straight magazine over it and I'd go in the cafe and I'd like, I'd pretend I was reading the straight person magazine, but then I need to read the gay one. I'd be like looking in the Advocate or remember that magazine Flaunt. Was that a magazine or Details? It's like, where's the Chris Evans photos where he's got his blouse off? I'd be like, go sneak in those in the corner. Anyway, I'm so glad they're opening a Barnes and Noble there. We love Barnes and Noble too. But go to Independent bookstore if you want to support them this week. And get my books. They're out. Out now. We'll be right back. You know that moment around 6pm when you're starving, slightly panicked somehow there's nothing in your fridge that feels like me all the time. And that's exactly why I started using Home Chef. Home Chef makes cooking super simple. Fresh food delivered, easy recipes to follow and meals that actually taste really great. What I love is that everything's already portioned out so there's no going to the grocery store with a giant list and overthinking it honestly also way less cleanup, which is huge for me. I've been doing a mix of their 30 minute meals and the oven ready trays. Depending on how motivated I'm feeling that day, I choose one or the other. And either way it feels like I'm making something that's actually really good and not just throwing something together. It tricks me into feeling like I've got my life together and it's not one size fits all. They've got over 30 meal options every week, so you can switch things up based on what you're in the mood for. Plus, people really love it. Home Chef is rated number one by users of other meal kits for quality, convenience, value, taste and recipe ease.

Then I realize I've done all that before and the flowers last what, maybe three days? Which is why I actually love the idea of an aura frame as a gift. Now it feels like such an upgrade from the usual rotation. My mom has an aura frame that she loves that I got her before. But they make such great gifts. We also have them in our house. And when I think about my mom, it's not just the big pose moments that matter most. It's the random everyday stuff, the photos where she's just being herself with the rest of the family, doing something small at the time that you don't think twice about. But later you realize it's everything. And with an aura frame, all those moments don't just live on your phone. You can preload photos before it even arrives. So it's already filled with memories when your mom opens it. And there's free unlimited storage so you can keep adding more old photos, new ones, even videos. I add some my son all the time so my mom gets updates back home in Ohio of him. And it's one of those gifts that actually keeps giving instead of just sitting there for a few days and then disappearing.

ACAST helps creators launch, grow, and monetize their podcasts everywhere. Acast.com. And we're back sister. Yes. All right, so as we enter the Soft Bar soft opening. So it's not the official opening that's happening, Carl said, in like two weeks or something. But this is like the soft launch of Soft Bar. And as we're getting into this place, there's a song that's playing like a royalty free song where it's like step into your best life. And it sounded to me, I gotta say, it sounded like Candy. Candy Burrus. And Kandy also just released a song. I know she's going through it. She's not Atlanta Housewives anymore, which I think this season is really great of Atlanta Housewives. If you're not Watching. I also heard the rumor mill is I think either this week or I think it's this week. The one coming Sunday. I have not seen the episode, but I did hear some rumors. This is just a little tease. I'm not giving any information away, but I did hear that there was like a fight that happens this week on either this week or next week on Atlanta Housewife. That's like an all timer, like two cast members, like maybe going back and forth where it's like supposed to be really, really good. And that's from people I really trust. So if you haven't watched it, like, I think you gotta watch this. I think it's this week. I hope I'm not leading people astray. But I did hear that it's like a. It's. And I've already been really enjoying the season. But I did hear that this is like a good one. I did hear that. Okay, so soft bar the launch. Bailey is turned on by Carl that he's launching this place now. Love me some Bailey. I don't know what's going on with her and Carl. I'm assuming it fizzled out because they haven't really been highlighting it that much. They are highlighting how Sabrina though. Sabrina's going to Australia for Christmas to meet Ben's family. And even KJ who like jumped in the relationship with Dare the explorer. He's like, what the fuck? Like, it's really quick for you to be flying across the world to Australia's a long flight and she's going there for Christmas and she like goes up to cages. She's like, did Ben tell you? And Caj is like, I don't know what you're talking about. And Ben looks really uncomfortable. And Cage is like, what? And Sabrina's like, tell him, Ben, tell him. And then Ben's just like, What are you talking about? He. It's like really awkward. Maybe not that awkward, but it was like. That's how it felt to me watching. I was like, I don't know what I told you. I don't know. Well, and then Sabine's like, I'm going to Australia for Christmas, meeting the parents. And that's the Meet the Parents sequel I need, actually. I know they're doing a new Meet the Fockers or whatever or Focker in Laws with Ariana Grande. Did you guys see that? It's coming out this Christmas. It's real. At first I saw a headline, it was like, meet the Focker sequel coming this Christmas with Ariana Grande. I was like, that's AI. And then turns out, then I saw a trailer which could also be AI. Who's to say? But it did. It is real. I think it's coming out this Christmas. There's a new Meet the Parents, Ben Stiller, De Niro and Ariana Grande. That's right. But that I would like another sequel where it's just Sabrina going Australia and cameras better be up over there. I don't know when we'll see it, but cameras better have been up in Australia for Ben and Sabrina because I need to see Sabrina meeting his parents because she's a lot. I can only imagine how strong she comes across when she's meeting someone's parents. She's probably showing up in a choker in those knee highs and just saying, hey, I'm here, Mom and Dad. And they're probably like, what the. So I hope they were rolling camera on that. I hope the red light was on and some producer was out in Australia for that. Okay, so they're also. We're getting an appearance this week from Carl's mom, Sharon. Now, I've hate to say I've talked a lot of shit about Sharon and I don't love talking shit about any mother because obviously, you know, I love, you know, I feel about mothers. I got the best mother in the world. And if anyone was talking shit about Linda Pellegrino, I'd be mad as hell. But Sharon, I was frustrated. I don't think I. Maybe I shouldn't say talking shit, but I was frustrated by what she was saying about Lindsey Hubbard last season. Or was it last season, season before? I didn't like it. And I just in general think Sharon gets in the mix a little too much on this show. Something about it makes me uneasy that she's like, trying to have a solo scene with Lindsay this week. I'm like, sharon, get the fuck out. Like, God bless you. And I don't want to. I don't want to talk shit about you, but, like, you don't need to do a solo scene with Lindsay. Like, we don't need a resolution of that storyline. And I would imagine producers probably prodded it along, but Lindsay clearly didn't want to have that conversation. And she did say bad things about Lindsay. It's like, you should have just not talked shit about Lindsay on camera. But even so, like, we don't need a resolution like you should. If I was Carl, even I'd be like, mom, you could show up to this event. But, like, you don't need to be Mic'd up and talking to Lindsay. Like, just go in the corner with your non alcohol cocktail. Which by the way, they're not even serving lover boy there. Kyle was pissed. He was pissed off. He was bad as hell as well. But then Sharon doesn't need to have these solo scenes. She's like talking to somebody else about Lindsay. And look, maybe some of it was just like producers had a boom mic and was catching up and she didn't know she was gonna be on screen. But I do think, like, somebody should stepped in. Somebody, Carl should have been stepping in and saying, hey, Ma, you don't need to be on this reality show. Like, talking to Lindsay. Like, get the out. And again, God bless Sharon. But it's just weird to me. And then Sharon even told west. She's like, don't let me say bad things. And it's like, well, how about you don't talk to any of these people on camera? And let me tell you something. These events I've been to filmings for these reality shows, okay? And if you're not, they know what they're getting. So, like, for instance, I was at like some of the Vanderpump rules events. Like, especially when I was working with Ariana and Tom on the cocktail book, I was at some of those events. But like, you're not on screen or they're not picking up your audio or anything unless you're like, they want to. Unless it's kind of planned. So a lot of times you will be talking to a cast member on the show and then a producer will grab them and pull them to some other area where it's like, lit, the camera's ready and they're ready to go have that scene. And so if a producer was prodding Sharon, first of all, it would have taken planning. So they would have probably had to say, like, sharon, do you mind if we get you talking to Lindsay? But she could have said no. Like, she didn't have to say yes. And then also somebody else in the cast should have said, hey, let's not have Sharon getting in the mix. It's weird. It's weird. It's weird. So stop being weird. It's weird. What else is going on? Sabrina talks about how amazing and beautiful west is. Excuse me, what girl? Sabrina. Like, it was a quick little moment, but she's like, you're so amazing and beautiful, West. And she planned some like, fucking double date. I'm like, sabrina, get out of here. Shh, shh. That's what I'm like shouting every time Sabrina's talking like, shh, shh, shh, girl, shh. Let Levi or Bailey handle this. You get the fuck out. And this is another instance, I'm sorry to say. This is where Levi or Bailey needs to step in and get in the mix instead of Sabrina doing it. Okay. But she's planned this double date, and I don't think that Weston Sierra should be going on a double date with anyone, let alone Sabrina and that other one, Ben. Kyle's mad. Carl doesn't have lover boy there. Kyle feels like it's punishment. This is. I was mad at this point in the show because I was thinking, like, where's all the old cast members? It was actually liver livid. I wrote my notes, do better producers because they didn't have old cast members there. And then suddenly, all of a sudden, the old. Because I was, like, looking for the workers. Twins. I'm like, let's get the twins. This is the perfect kind of event to have old cast members at. But I would have. They had Luke. Ultimately, Andrea, Danielle showed up. I would have liked, like, a more obscure cast member. Like, I wanted the twins. I wanted a. What was that? Christina Gibson. Like, let's get her. And, like, I would have wanted some Stephen McGee. Like, let's get some of those people in there. Like, some of the ones I haven't seen in a while. Like, I feel like Luke pops in every once in a while, and he's. Isn't he running for office or something? They need us. They need to cool up these reality stars. Spencer Pratt's running for mayor. What are we doing? What are we doing? What are we doing? Okay, so then the old cast members do arrive. Great. And it was nice to see. Did Luke and Andrea ever do a scene together? I was like, were they on the show? I can't remember. I mean, they're both in my head. They did a scene together, but it was a different kind of scene. I have the chill in my imagination, I have to say. Luke and Andrea did film a scene together. It only happened in my imagination, and it was not necessarily the type of scene that could be aired on the Bravo network. Did do it in the scene that played in my head. And I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna describe it, because that would be maybe uncouth of me, but I just would like everyone to know that they did film a scene together in my head. They were on the show together in my head, and the scene they filmed was beautiful. It was tender and rough and beautiful. But I couldn't remember if they did actually on the Bravo network film a scene together. Moving on. Jesse arrives in the soft bar merch. Lindsay shows up with Georgina, who's I think going to be on in the City. I can't remember. There's like a hundred cast members on that new in the City spin off show. So I don't know if you know what's happening there, but Lindsay kind of throws the soft bar under the bus. She says it's only took two years after the breakout. She's like, I'm gonna go support him in his 25 fruit drinks. That's right, she called them $25 fruit drinks. She brings Carl a bear though a bar that's soft. And Carl opens it. It's one of those weird gifts that like, you're not sure if it's the full gift, you know, Like Carl opened it and it just looked like a. Maybe a cheap little teddy. It actually, I would bet my bottom dollar that it was something that like Lindsay got as a gift for the baby. Do you know what I'm saying? And she was leaving the house. She's like, ah, fuck. Like, should I bring a gift? And she's like, this would be funny. So she threw a bag. She's. Maybe she had two of them. A lot of times with babies, you know, you get kids and babies, people send you gifts or family members come and bring you a gift. And sometimes you get doubles. So like you get doubles of a book or a stuffed animal or something. And I was like, I definitely think Lindsay had that at the house. Maybe it was a double. But it was a kind of a weird thing because Carl didn't know what to say. And she's like, I know you like soft stuff. And I was like, this is really a stretch. But Carl was so touched that she brought a gift. And I'm happy that they're good. But Lindsay, it's interesting to watch her PR background because even in a professional as she's like throwing shade to Carl's business. I. I felt like it was Lindsay's PR background. Like she knows what to say to sound sort of supportive, but sort of shady. Does that make sense? Anyway, Luke arrives. Andrea's there with Lexi, who's I guess gonna be on that in the City show. Carl gives a speech. It was. He says he wishes his brother was there. But then he also says this place wouldn't be real if his brother was there. And I was crying. Sibling bond is important. I feel so lucky. You know, I have two older brothers and we might not always completely see eye to eye or get along on everything. But I do ultimately feel like protected by them. I, you know, I think that's. I love my older brothers and I'm so grateful for them. I don't always talk about them on the show because, of course, and they want their privacy. But I. Yeah, I don't know. Sibling. It made me cry when Carl's talking about the sibling. I was like, gosh, I couldn't imagine what that's like. And Carl's really shown so much growth on the show. And, you know, we look back at the Carl that used to be on the show, and he's more than any person on the Bravo network. Seems like at least has grown and changed and evolved. And that's a wonderful thing. And so even though sometimes I might be hard on Carl, I think I'm hard on him because I think about it, about how his past was, but it seems like he's shown growth now. That said, that said, I just would also like to point out that they take us on this roller coaster. So there'll probably be a season coming if Carl sticks around on the show, which I think he will. Cause he had a good season. There's probably going to be a season in a season or two that it's going to go the opposite way. Because that's what Bravo does with us. So we're going to probably next season hate Carl again. And so just want to point that out. Sharon sent Lindsay a text message after their breakup, though, like a month after. And Lindsay was like, why the fuck did she text me me? And I do think it's weird. It's like Sharon thinks she's on Love Island. Like, she's pulling Lindsay away for a chat. And it's like, sharon, stop it. Are you angling for a role on in the City? Like, why are we. Why are we getting Sharon going up to Lindsay and being like, hey, can I talk to you? And she's like, lurking up behind her. And again, God bless Sharon. But why didn't Carl just say, mom, just stop by and say hi, and then you can leave. Sharon tells Lindsay that she looks great after the baby. She's like, congrats. Can I get a hug? Lindsay's like, you and Carl love hugs. And then Sharon says, I love your hair, too. Meanwhile, you guys, they have sort of the same haircut. I know. And that was shocking to me. It was very reminiscent of the real houses in New York. Remember when Countess Luann went up to Bethany's, like, your hair is looking a lot like mine. And Then Bethany's like, oh, yeah, you dumb drag queen, or whatever she said. Or she called her a whore that day. But Lindsay doesn't call Sharon a whore or a dumb drag queen, but she does say, like, she sort of smiles through it. And I wonder if Lindsay had an existential crisis because she went home and was like, sharon said she liked my hair, and we basically have the same haircut. And like, that would have been. That would have been enough for me to go home and, like, Natalie Portman invited for vendetta, shave my hair off. You know, that kind of thing. Because that would have been. That would have been a lot. And then this whole conversation was just like, you know, I got the chills even just reciting it. Because then she says, gemma's slightly mean, just like me. And then Sharon says, you are you. And isn't that the most important thing to be? You guys like this whole conversation. Did you ever see that? Did you ever hear the audio of Tara Reid? This is a deep cut. Tara Reid on the Jenny McCarthy radio show. That's right. If you haven't heard it, you need to go immediately, listen, pause this episode, or when I'm done here, go find it online somewhere. Just type in Jenny McCarthy Tara Reid feud. Because it is like, they just go back and forth, throwing insults at, like, very passive aggressive insults at each other, and not even passive aggressive. They talk about the bad boob jobs they've had. And, like, Jenny McCarthy ends it by saying, good. Good luck on Sharknado 18 or whatever. And it's so funny. But this whole conversation between Sharon and Lindsay reminded me of that conversation where it's just like, these two white women just saying the meanest things to each other's faces, but, like, under the guise of smiles and niceness. I loved it. I loved it. We come to this place for magic. And that was magic. I was watching that whole scene. I'm like, sister, yes. This is great. Sister, yes. Then Lindsay's like, get the away from me. Then we cut to Weston Amanda talking. Kyle enters, and it's like, Kyle's the third wheel. Just so weird. Then Danielle's there with Eon. I hope I'm saying that right. Ian Ion in I don't know, but that's her boyfriend. Lindsay hasn't seen Danielle since February. Lindsay watched the confessionals from last season of Summer House and was like, I'm not being friends with this woman. And then Danielle just said nasty things about her in those confessionals. And Lindsay says she's got a limited time for friends and she doesn't need. I'm on Lindsay's side here because I do feel like Danielle was saying mean things to her. Then Kyle goes up to Danielle and I think they're setting up the spin off. So I wonder even how serious this is or if this is a like, Kyle, Lindsay and Danielle working to set this up. But Kyle does tell Danielle, like, go talk to Lindsay. And then Lindsay leaves. So, like, they don't get that conversation on camera. But, like, that's a storyline set up for the next spin off. Then let's see. Oh, Jesse talks to Amanda and just like, I can't believe you missed west and Sierra squashing the beef. And now they have plans tonight. They're like, back to normal, being normal friends. I guess they're going on a double date. And then Amanda's like, what? What? Amanda says, how did we go from 0 to 100? Wes has to be cautious. I don't think she can handle just a friendship. And, like, how about you shut the up, girl? I get so Amanda. Amanda. And that's how the episode ends. Next time we get Super Soakers. It looks like someone's dressed as the Lorax. Then Carl makes out with Bailey. Bailey, Sandy. Remember last week in the show I was just yelling, Sandy Bailey. Amanda says she's weary of West. Kyle vs Carl happens next week. A lot of people were thinking that Kyle and Carl were. That was getting edited out. But it looks like it's coming next week. So buckle up, buttercups. We're in for a treat. I think next week it probably. I don't think the full fight happens next week. I think it like starts at the end of the episode and then they'll do it to be continued. And they're gonna piss us all off off with that kind of. These shows just keep us coming back for more. Keep us coming back for more, baby. Okay. I love you all so much for listening. Thank you.
