Jason
I'm coming here with flowers tonight. Essentially there are things that I would like to Apologize to you for. I definitely have a lot of regrets about the way that I handled myself emotionally. I got, you know, for lack of a better word, I mean, I'm very protective over my life. There was zero organized, systematic thing to take you down. Never happened.

Jason showed up to that meeting with Santa Clarita, Danny, and said, I have flowers. I'm bringing you flowers. I'm here to apologize. And you know what Danny from Santa Clarita said? He said, no, I can buy myself flowers. In the words of Luann, vis a vis Miley Cyrus, I can buy myself flowers. Hello, everyone. Welcome to everything iconic with me, Danny Pellegrino. That was a clip from the Valley this week. I also have to point out Jesse was wearing what I lovingly referred to as stupid looking hat because he was just sitting down at that cigar and whiskey bar and he just had that hat on. And I was like, what's his name? Jesse? I was like, you need to go look in the mirror. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to say, but, like, what was. What the fuck was that hat? I don't understand. And look, I'm a hat guy. I am a hat person. I'm wearing one right now. I'm wearing a baseball hat. I like a baseball hat. Sometimes I don't feel like putting gel or product in my hair. It's like, I just want to throw a baseball hat on. But I don't understand the people, the men who wear those other kinds of hats. Like, I don't. I find like a top hat or a kangal hat. Like, you got to be a very specific shaped head and attitude and look to be able to pull it off. And I'm like, that hat that Jesse was wearing, I'm like, I don't. I'm sorry to say, Jesse, I love you. God bless. But I don't know if that hat was really working for you. Now I am in a silly mood. Despite the fact that the show for me for the first week was very bleak. I felt like this week I just was feeling. It was feeling bleak to me. We opened on Santa Clarita this week in the Valley, and I'm like, I don't know that we should open here because it's setting a vibe. But I am in a good mood right now because right before we started recording here, I was seeing this online trend with Arby's okay, so first of all, you know I love the Arby's. I do. I love me a roast beef sandwich, curly fries, the whole nine. And unfortunately, here in Los Angeles, they closed the Arby's that was nearest to me. So I don't know where and when I'm going to be able to get a roast beef sandwich next. Perhaps when I go back to Ohio, the Solon location. But that's not the point. The point is there's this trend going around with Arby's because I'm one of the only people, I think, that likes Arby's. Unfortunately, I don't think it's hitting McDonald's or even burger King or Wendy's and some of the other fast food joints. People don't respect Arby's in the same way. Their slogan is we got the meats, which is maybe not the best slogan to get people to come into the establishment. Obviously, it tells you what you got in there. But we got the meats isn't necessarily the most appealing slogan for food, unfortunately. I know we all like meat, but I don't know if that's really like, oh, let me go into the. To the. To the doors of Arby's to get the meats. Because it's just like the way that even I feel like that even they should make it more specific of like, we got the roast beefs or something like that. Like a specific meat. Like, if it was McDonald's, you'd say, we got the burgers. That actually sounds appealing because you think like, oh, when I want a burger, I'll go to the place that says, we got the burgers. But I don't know how many people are sitting there for dinner or lunch thinking like, oh, I need to go to the place that's got meats. Who's got the meats? And then somebody's like, Arby's. Anyway, this trend going around online is so fucking funny because it's like people calling other people and so they build it up and they say, like, hey, I'm gonna pick us up dinner. So like, a husband calls the wife, and they put it on speakerphone and film it. But let's say like a husband calls the wife or someone at an office, goes to everybody else in the office, or calls everybody on the conference calls and is like, hey, I'm picking up lunch for everybody. I'm getting us dinner. And then the person on the other line gets so excited, and then the person who's getting the food says, yeah, I'm gonna go to Arby's, like, what do you want? And then it's so funny because then every time, like, at least the clips that I saw on TikTok and stuff, it's like every time the person on the line, when they hear that they're getting Arby', they're like, arby's. You know, like, they're so excited to get free food. So imagine you're at the office and your boss comes in like, hey, we're gonna treat everyone to lunch. Like, I'm gonna go pick up Arby's. And you're thinking, you're thinking they're gonna, like, go get you some, like, nice takeout food from somewhere. Even like, if you're working in an office and nobody wants to be working in an office anyway, like, nobody wants to be working. Like, we all wanna be in bed watching you've Got Me out. But you hear your boss come in and they tell you that you're gonna be getting some, you're at least going to think they're going to head on over to Applebee's or Red Robin or bare minimum, pick up some pizzas, but nobody on the other line ever wants to hear or imagine your husband or wife calls you and is like, hey, I'm going to pick up dinner for us tonight. Like, what do you want from Arby's? You're like, ah, fuck. Like, everybody's reaction is, ah, fuck. Or some of the reactions I saw in the videos were like, are you sure you don't want to go somewhere else? Or when I saw this woman's like, that place that's got the meats. So funny. I gotta do it. I'm gonna do it. Matt, unfortunately, was watching the videos with me, so I can't do it to him. But next time I go out with friends, or maybe I should text some friends. Now that I'm giving up the prank on the podcast, I don't think I could do it, but I would love to. We should all text our group chat. When somebody's like, where should we go for dinner next time, just write Arby's and see what people say and then send it to me. Screenshot it. Screenshot and send it to me. Because I'm sure, like, just invite some friends out to dinner. And then when they say, where should we go? Just say Arby's and see what they say and screenshot it and send it to me. Because that is so fucking funny. Anyway, so I'm in a silly mood. Despite the fact that this show, the Valley, is The bleakest fucking show on television this week. Because, look, I do think it's brave and wonderful that these people are coming on television as new, young parents. I mean, I had said last week on the show that I thought they filmed in the summertime, but a lot of people corrected me. They actually were filming in fall because they were giving the gals, specifically Nia and Kristen, I think, some extra time after having the baby. And I think they should have gotten a longer maternity leave because it's just three months. And I know in any office culture, unfortunately, maternity leave for people is much shorter than that. And that's an issue, I think, just in general in the US or where. I don't know what it's like in other countries, but for somebody to just give birth, they shouldn't have to be going back to work. So even though these people's. Their work is showing up on screen and arguing with Janet, I still don't think that they should have to go back to the office so quickly. Like, they should be at home eating the Arby's instead of on camera. Because I'm seeing it. And I feel bad for. I feel bad that Kristen and Nia having to even film. And then I'm also, like, livid at all of their husbands because, I mean, I was gonna get to this later. Like, at the end of the episode, Kristen and Luke are at that bar. And I'm sorry, but, like, I don't know, Luke's just coming across very immature to me on this season of the show. And I do recognize that he's younger and also giving him a little tiny bit of grace. Before I drag him, I do want to say that I understand that he's from another state. And so maybe that's part of it too, is, like, he doesn't have any of his village or his people here. So I get that that could be troubling, especially when you're going through a big life change, like a child. Like, you mean to tell me, like, you're complaining that you couldn't have gone fucking fishing for three months after having a baby? Like, go fuck yourself. I'm sorry to say. I hate to say it, but, like, what do you mean you're. It's three months. It's only been three months since your wife. Or are they. They're not married yet. Are they since your significant other birth, your child? Like, what the fuck do you mean that you're upset? You haven't gone fishing for three months? Like, grow the fuck up. And it's only been Three months since the baby's there. Like, that's still a newborn baby. So that newborn baby needs you. And so you unfortunately have to put your fishing aside, and you can't go fishing. Sorry. You can't pick up the pole and fish or maybe do one of those. What's that? Animal crossing. Don't you fish in that game? Like, get a switch, too, and just get a Nintendo Switch and start fishing on the screen when the baby's down for a nap. Unfortunately, at. Within the first three months, that's all the fishing you're probably going to be able to do. Okay. Or go to the grocery store with the baby and pick out some sea bass for your meal and shut the fuck up, because it's only been three months since a new life that you're supposed to be raising and taking care of. And I'm sorry to get upset about this, but it's like, also, Kristin just, like, is the one who birthed the baby, and she's going through not only gigantic hormonal changes, she's going through postpartum. She's having, like, all sorts of things that are a consequence of having the baby. So if you weren't ready to have a baby, then you shouldn't have the fucking baby. But I think when you're having a baby, the bare minimum you should expect is that you're not gonna be able to go fishing in the first three months. And so, yeah, that might kind of suck. And he's, like, saying, oh, I understand. I want to give him some grace, because it's like, I do know that he had a big change. But to say that to Kristen, your significant other, who's the one who birthed the baby and went through all of this, it's like, that's not the person. You know, go share this with your buddies at the whiskey bar or something. Like, I don't feel like you should be burdening Kristen with this information about how you're pissed that you couldn't go fishing. Go catch a sea bass with the. With the Nintendo Switch, and shut the fuck up. I'm sorry to get angry about it. Actually, I'm not sorry to get angry about it. I just thought it was, like, disturbing that. And. And Danny, too. I mean, we'll get to. I'm sorry. We'll get Danny. At the beginning of the episode when we open on Santa Clarita, he. Which. They have got to stop filming there. They just got to stop filming there. They need to unclear the house, because I can't. I don't know what's going on, but I don't feel comfortable there when they're filming Santa Clarita. A lot of people pointed out on the show, I. I talked about how Santa Clarita reminded me of a Tim Burton movie. And you guys, I heard back from some people that said, actually, like, Tim Burton was purposely setting. What was it? Was it Edward Scissorhands or one of his movies or some of his movies. I guess he does have a connection to Santa Clarita. So some of his movies are set there. And so it is very Tim Burton. Y. But they gotta stop filming there because it's too depressing. Watching Nia pump in Santa Clarita, I can't do it. And then she's saying she's five years breastfeeding and her body needs a break. And then Danny shows up with some Mr. Milker that he got from some trinket chapter, and he's doing the. He's like, well, I thought I'd show up. And, you know, she's been doing this. And he puts this silly thing on. It's also bleak. And I don't. I don't really. I don't know if I'm an expert enough to talk about, like, I understand people want to breastfeed, and I think there's a lot of different reasons to breastfeed, but I almost was, like, shouting through the screen, like, have we tried formula? Nia? Only because I want Nia to have a break and a breather. And I don't. You know, I. We, as a gay man, obviously we have a young son, but we didn't have a choice with breastfeeding, obviously, and we went straight to formula. And everything's been. There's been no issues with the formula. Baby's growing sturdy. He's so. I don't know, but I get that there's reasons people want to do formula. So I'm not saying don't do breastfeeding if you want to do it, but it just seems so sad. And then for Danny to show up with that Mr. Milker kit, I was like, how about you get the fuck out of here? I just think, like, their lives are made worse by these men. Like, I don't think that their lives are. It feels like they're just burdening their significant others. Like, the men are Danny and Luke. It's like it's making everything worse. What's that? Dorit's got her book called Unburdened, and I feel like Nia and Kristen are going to come out with these Books that are just called Burdened. And it's just like them on the COVID and then their husbands are in the background lurking with those beady spider eyes, you know? And I don't like it. I don't. And I'm sorry to go so hard, so hard on these men because again, they have also gone through some changes and things when all these kids come around, but I don't know. And then Nia's mom always lurking around the corner to take the baby. Like, I understand that's what she's got to do because Nia's filming for her paycheck for the show. But it's all very bleak because I'm thinking, like. And I said this last week, it's like, Nia probably wouldn't be working right now if she would be taking off. She seems like she does not want to be doing this TV show. And so we're trying to find her. We're trying to film her reality. Like, this is a documentary or something. But, like, if it weren't for the TV show, she wouldn't be doing these things. Like going out for a girls night with the mom lurking on the party bus. Does that make sense? Like, she would probably be at home, happy and wonderful, maybe going out and running errands and stuff. But, like, I think there's this added thing with the TV show that wouldn't be happening. Like, I don't know that they'd be doing their hair and makeup professionally to go out for a girls night. And I get that they have to make the paycheck, but also bleak. Danny's also mad at Jason for calling him a clown douchebag. But you know what? Maybe if you don't want the smoke, then put out the cigarette. Because, Danny, if you're acting like a clown in a douchebag, unfortunately, Jason's gonna cause it as he sees it. Calls it as he sees it. Speaking of calling as he sees it, did you guys see that there's a new Hulu show with Stassi. It's called something, I don't know, World of Stassi or something like that. And they buried the lead because Katie Maloney is going to be on it and so is Christina fucking Kelly. That's right. It's going to be Vanderpump Light, I guess. I don't know. I just saw a trailer for it. But I was surprised that Katie Maloney. I'm excited for Maloney to be back on screen, although I am minorly upset that she's not going to be Joining the Valley. Because I do feel even with Schwartz joining the Valley, I'm like, oh, I do just want this to be vanderpump rules now. Like. Like, maybe just get rid of Danny and Nia and let's just, like, lean into the vanderpump of it all. Because actually, like, Schwartz is really. God. I shouldn't even say this on a microphone, but, like, to me, Schwartz is actually, like, the brightness and light of this show. And to me, almost the main character. Like, when I. When I want. When I need a break from all these other people and they show Schwartz getting a pedicure, I never thought I'd say, like, that's what I want, but it's like a. I'm proud of Schwartz for cleaning his lower grippers, getting those hooves soaked in some soap, and that's a good thing. So he's. He's actually fixing one of the main issues I've ever had with Schwartz, aside from the fact of his relationship with Tom. Sins of all, it's the fact that he was always having those lower grippers out. His dirty hooves were always on screen without shoes or socks on. I used to call him Shoeless Schwartz. And so at least Shula Schwartz is showing up to get the pedicure on camera. Candy camera. And so I'm proud of him. And he shows that he did that with Jason, too. And they all need to do that. And I hate that they have to. Like, I hate to get too wokey, but I also hate that we have to have these locations for men to get manicures and pedicures, that they have to, like, butch up, you know, so they have to serve, like, cigars and shit. And I'm like, do we really have to do this? I can't. They just. I didn't think a pedicure place is really reads that feminine. Like, the place that I go to, it might have a lot of women going to it, but, like, I don't look around there and feel like I'm in the Barbie movie or some shit like that. Like, it's just. It's pretty nondescript when it comes to gender at the. The pedicure places around town. So, like, why do we have to have one place that we have to serve cigars and whiskey? And everything has to be, like, dark colors and everything? Like, are there pedicure manicure places? Reading too female for people now? Like, I don't understand. It's all fucking nuts. But God bless, they get a beer and get their hooves done, and then Jesse shows up Late because he was tested for rabies. A squirrel bit him. That's right. A squirrel bit Jesse. And I'm on Jesse's side. Fortunately, he says they didn't get rabies. But I told you guys, I think this on the podcast months ago, we had this squirrel problem that I'm swear the squirrel that was at our house had rabies. And it's because a lot of the. The neighbors, I think, feed the squirrels, and you can't feed the squirrels. I told you that. I think we were talking about Denise Richards show. Denise Richards. Remember she had that show, Denise Richards and the Wild Things? And on that show, she used to feed all the squirrels. And I was like, denise, don't do that. Because then the squirrels show up to the houses and they get domesticated, and I don't think they're supposed to be domesticated. And so we had this squirrel issue at our house where the squirrel was coming right up to the door, and it was like, right at our back door. And then it went to the front door, and it was like staying at. It was like, trying to come in the house, and it had, like, these red beady eyes. And I think I posted a video of it on my Instagram stories when it happened because it was like, it was very creepy. Like, those squirrel was way too close and getting way too comfortable trying to come into the house. And I'm like, I'm not raising a squirrel in this house. Okay? So get the fuck out. And then I thought we had squirrels in the attic. And it's. It was a nightmare. The squirrels were, like, terrifying me for. There was, like, months. There was months where I was, like, going to sleep, and I'm like, think I'm having these nightmares where I. I think I'm just gonna wake up and be surrounded by squirrels because they got in the house. They got in the attic. Mm. Mm. And I told you all, like, I'm not interested in what happens in the attic. Like, keep me out of it. Like, I don't want to go up there. I don't want to have to catch anything up there. It's like, I. You. You. I'm calling somebody to fix the problem. But, like, I. It's none of my business what's going on in the attic or the ocean water. I don't want to know. It's none of my business. Those people who. Or go to space. Those people go to space or go deep in the ocean, explore. It's like, that's none of my business who wants to go explore the ocean. How about we stay out of the fucking ocean and let whatever happens in there happen? I don't need to be going in there. Nobody should. Or going up to space. Do I need to know what's going on with aliens? Absolutely not. Like, let them do what they got to do. It's none of my business. I don't care what those UFOs are up to. And I know there's all these people now want the government to release all the information about the UFOs. It's like, absolutely not. I don't even want to know what's in my Arby's roast beef sandwich, let alone in the space. Like, don't even tell me what they put in the Arby's meats. I don't even want that information. Sometimes I think people are seeking out too much information. They say, you know, reading knowledge is power. Well, guess what? I need to power down because I don't want that much knowledge because it's scary. It's scary. Anyway, so Jesse's got the squirrel issue and so I guess he didn't get rabies, so that's good. He did say too that squirrels don't carry rabies. But I again, I swear this one squirrel that was at her house, I swear it had rabies because the look in its eyes, those little beady squirrel eyes and it was like red eyes and red mouth and then those teeth. I was like, this one's got rabies. I don't know. And luckily it, it left and I don't know, hopefully moved on to the next house. Schwartz, though, says he's doing Singles Night with Lala and Michelle and he quoted Jerry Maguire, which unfortunately, I have no way to complain about Schwartz when he's quoting Jerry Maguire because it's one of my all time favorite movies. Love it to death. I think they're re releasing in theaters soon for the anniversary. I think it's one of the greatest movies of all time. I wish and I pray and I hope that one day Tom Cruise starts doing more movies like Jerry Maguire and God bless all the Mission Impossible movies. We love action version of Tom Cruise and Top Guns doing a new one. Although I'm a little concerned about all these movies. We got the devil wears Prada 2 coming and that marketing is aggressively. It's too much. It's too much. Now Practical Magic 2, I am very excited for Sister.

I am excited. And so Warner Brothers, they're the ones releasing Practical Magic too, if you need to send me to. I guess they already filmed it. I was going to say send me to set or something if you need me to interview Sandy and Nicole or go to the premiere or something. Like, I love me some practical magic. And they released a trailer for practical magic too. And I'm so excited for those witches to be back. And so I don't know how I could be of service wb, but please hire me for something. Go interview the cast or go to the premiere or something. Because I love me some practical magic too. Now. Devil words proditude, though, I'm concerned about because it just, the marketing is aggressive. I feel like on every product now I go to the grocery store and maybe that should be a lesson to the practical magic to people is that we need to scale back. Because I don't like going to the grocery store and buying like M&M's and seeing that, that red devil shoe on the Eminem container or whatever I'm buying, it feels like it's everywhere. It's like, what the fuck does devil wear to have to do with DiGiorno or whatever? It's like it's everywhere. It's omnipresent. And I love me some Meryl. And I'm gonna see it opening weekend, by the way. I will see it. Like, I will. I will drop off the baby somewhere and go see it. Not going to drop maybe. No, I can't take the baby, but I will see it. I will see it. Okay, so where are we at here? We talked about the squirrel. Let's take a break here and we're going to come back. We got to discuss. Kyle Chan showed up. Kyle Chan showed up. Getting more and more vanderpumpy as we go. Let's take a break here. Thank you. To Acast find me on social Media, go to EverythingIconic store for signed copies of my book or everything iconic merch.

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 realize how much it matters until you do it.

You wake up, you immediately check on them, you plan your day around them, and somehow you find that they surprise you. They do something completely chaotic. They eat something they shouldn't.

All right, so I mentioned Schwartz doing singles night. He quoted Jerry Maguire. And he also used the word copaesthetic, which reminds me of an econ professor, Jan Palmer from Ohio University, that he used to always use the word copacetic. Copacethetic, he also used to say. Or he also used to play like old music like Don't Fear the Reaper would be playing as you walked into the econ class. It was fun. Okay, so Jesse, he's mad at how Janet treated Lacy. He reveals. And he also says he wants Schwartz to date Michelle because he thinks it'll give him ammo in the group. And that's smart. See, Jesse's playing chess while everybody else is playing checkers. And so I support that. Then they go to Kyle Chan Jewelry, Lala and Michelle. And Michelle's repurposing that wedding ring, and Lala did that with her necklace from Randall. And Michelle talks about how Jesse did the proposal in Paris, and she says, it was so beautiful. And I still think, you know, I just, I have to remind you all that I said last season that I do think Michelle and Jesse will hook up on a cast trip soon. I think Jesse's still with Lacy. And unfortunately, I feel that next season, this is what this was my prediction last year, and I'm still sticking with it, is that next season's final cast trip for the Valley. So not this season. Next season, the final cast trip. I think Jesse, Michelle will both perhaps be single at that time, and it's gonna come out that they hooked up on the final cast trip. That's my. That's my prediction. That's my crystal ball. Crystal ball. That is, at least, unless Jesse doesn't get the rabies from the squirrel in his yard. So then Lala is wearing a hat here that says average, which is the grade I'd give this episode, unfortunately. But then Michelle, yeah, I'm happy that she's repurposing the thing. She said her and Jesse had a beautiful time for a while. Meanwhile, then Jasmine, Brittany and Kristin get dinner, and Brittany shows up. She said, I'm Hungry, she said. She said, I'm hungry.

Just the way she said hungry was like, hungry made me laugh. She ordered steak again last week. She ordered steak. I'm happy she likes the red meat, but worried about her heart. That's neither here nor there, though. Kristen's sad, and I don't like seeing my mariposa sad. I do not care for it. She said she feels like she's the new Kristen in someone else's body. And I thought it was really nice. So Jasmine and Brittany were trying to cheer up. I thought they were being good sisters. I thought, sister, yes, Sister, yes. That's the kind of vibe they were bringing, that nun podcast vibe to the dinner. And I appreciate. They were just like, sister, yes. And they need. And Kristen needed that. I needed that. Kristen had to excuse herself to go to the bathroom to. Because she was choking up. And I thought it was nice that they were there for her, but also justice for Kristen. I hope. You know, I can't even imagine. And I feel again, bad that she even has to film this dumbass TV show when she's going through all of this. It's a lot. It's a lot. And to take care of a newborn baby, it's, like, too much. I couldn't imagine. I took, like. With the baby, I took, like, six weeks off of the podcast, but then I was just sort of, like, slowly getting into podcasting, which was from home. I didn't have to worry about anything. So, you know, I can't even imagine having to go, like, to full filming mode. Three months. Three months. Three months. And, like, you're not. Because it's also. There's the added thing of, like, they're on camera and they're concerned. You're obviously concerned about how you look. Like this is going to be a show that's going out nationwide. People are going to be watching in a time when you're not even feeling comfortable in your own body and skin. Like, that's a. That's a mind fuck. And so I can't even imagine. So the guys are at guys night. Jason makes a reverse Bill Clinton joke, and he's like, no, it's about inhaling, not a bj, which made me laugh. They're doing cigars and scotch. Do you notice Janet's not even been in the episode for, like, three weeks? Like, what's. Did they give Janet, like, a little pause or something? Or did they just edit her out? Like, why is she getting the Levi treatment? I don't think she's getting the full Levi treatment. She's more so just in the peripheral because they are talking about her a lot. Because even when they sat down, I think Danny made some joke about, like, I wonder what Janet's gonna say. I mean, Danny or I mean, Jason, he made some joke. And this is where Jesse's in that dumbass hat, stupid looking hat. And Danny also made a joke about, like, I'd love to have some scotch, but I don't want to be labeled by anyone here at the table. And it's like, okay, Danny. Like, I know he's making a joke, and he's kind of trying to rub it in that everybody said he was a creep when he was drunk. But it's like, everybody did say you were a creep when you were drunk. Like, it wasn't just Jason and Janet. Like, didn't Jasmine and Melissa said that. It's like, obviously you were being a creeper. And even Jax said, Jax, too. The biggest demon of them all was on camera last season saying, like, Danny's fucked up when he's drunk and stuff. And so now Danny's trying to act like the victim as if he wasn't. And I'm like, okay, Danny. But everybody said it wasn't just Jane. Jason was actually like, the demon Jax, who's fired from this show because he's such a demon. He was saying that you were. You were too fucked up when you were drinking. So how about you stop making a joke of it? Because obviously there's truth to it if everybody says it. If everybody says it as they sees it. Sorry. But they talk about Danny and Janet in the pantry, and he did apologize for the pantry thing. So I. I do think we need to get over the pantry thing because that's a situation that we need to move past the pantry. Let's move past the pantry. Then they end the guy scene not making up, but they say the time will heal all wounds and there'll be no resolution. Now, I was wondering when we'd get to Zach, because I thought, where's Zach and Benji? Why are they not at guys night? Is this homophobia at its finest? Unfortunately, the reason that they weren't there is because Zach and Benji, the real men on this show, they were at a sex shop. They were just, like, shopping for dildos or something, which is fine by me. I thought, like, good for them. That seemed like a better time than that cigar shop with Jesse in his hat. But that was, like, one of their only few scenes. I did have a complaint about Zach, which we'll get to later in the episode. And I love me some Zach on the show, but I do have a complaint now. Lala's at her house getting the hair done. We see Kristen and Luke at their house. Danny arrives and Luke's like cleaning the garage. And Luke apologized to Danny. He said I should have been sticking up for you more than just trying to be a moderator. Which was nice. But Luke's upset that he can't fish anymore. And again I'm just pissed at him for wanting to fish. And also the other thing is like Kristin said, hey, if you go out a guy's night, that's fine, go out, I'll take care of the baby but like don't fall asleep on the couch. And then also can you be able to wake up the next day and help with the baby? And apparently he couldn't even do that. And it's like Luke, you want us to feel bad that you can't go fishing but then also you're going out on a weekend night. And I don't know, I got, I hate to sound like a big old square because I know everybody like does operates their relationships in their life differently but I do think like within the first three months like it. I don't feel it's that out of the realm of ordinary for you to not be going out and getting drunk at night. Like I think it's fine if you have three months where you're not having one night out. Is that crazy? Like and everybody needs some, some space and some time to themselves and self care and stuff like that. So I don't want to say that you shouldn't be doing anything for yourself. But like I think it's fine that like you spent three months where you're not getting wasted on a Saturday night to the point where you can't wake up with the baby. Like that's not, that shouldn't be asking of too much. You have a newborn baby. Am I crazy? I don't know. But he couldn't even do that. And then he went out and so Kristen's pissed at him. And then Danny is like sitting there and he's like, yeah, and I need to always get up and get a workout in. And it's like, God, it pisses me off. I think, okay, here's the thing. I've noticed being a gay dad is like there is no societal pressure for us to, for one of us to be the more hands on parent. Does that make sense? So like with women there's all this society of pressure that they're having to do everything. And so it's like in a gay relationship, you're pretty. We're splitting the duties as much as possible. Like Matt's more the. Maybe the stay at home dad. Because when I'm working more. But there's still like a balance of like doing everything and particularly on the weekends. I'm not gonna, I don't know. I just feel like the women on this show, they're expected to do all the, all the things. And it's like, well, Nia's. If she's breastfeeding every two hours with the newborn, like, yeah, maybe you should give up your workouts, Danny, and to help out a little more. And unfortunately it's just a season of life that you're not gonna be able to work out every morning. Am I crazy? But like I, I want everyone to get their self care and have their alone time. But if it's a problem where like the mother is asking you to do something different, then I think you need to listen to the mother like the mother should be. You should want to help out the mother more and balance it more. I don't know what am I saying anymore? Who knows? Luke says Kristen doesn't appreciate the sacrifices he made to move there. Are you kidding? It's like he's, he's trying to hold on to who he is, but it's getting too hard for him. And it just. A lot of Luke is reading a little immature to me. Are you guys watching Southern Hospitality? You know that I love Southern Hospitality. I think it's so good. If you're not watching, it's great. But Lake on there reads really immature to me. And sometimes I have to remind myself like they're younger and Luke is not that much younger, but he is. How old is. He's younger. Right? But Lake on Southern Hospitality, like some of the way she's acting is like so infuriating to me. But then. And she's only like 22 or something like that. So you have to remind myself that. But Luke is certainly not 22. He's old enough and he's got a baby now, so you got to mature. Then we have singles night with Schwartz and he somehow seems more mature compared to these other guys. And if I'm looking at the screen and feeling like Schwartz is coming across as more mature than the others, that's a problem. In the words of Dorinda Medley, that's your problem and that's all of our problem. And so he's at this singles night with Michelle, who invited Natalie. Natalie, who's gorgeous. Gale. And Lala's there too. Now, Natalie and Michelle left the husbands at the same time. And Schwartz shows up with a cigarette on his ear. And somehow I'm like, why am I attracted to that? And I'm not a smoker. But there was something like very Danny Zuko about that to me, where I thought, like, oh, grease lightning, you know, or something. I thought, summer lovin'. But to have me a blast. Like, I saw Schwartz with that cigarette in his ear and something about that. I was ready to. I was ready to show up in an all black leather like, sandy. Sandy. Remember at the end of Grease when Olivia Newton John shows up and he's like, sandy. That's how I was about to show up to this Belmont bar where they were doing the singles night. Because I saw Schwartz with that cigarette behind the ear and I thought, sandy. Okay, so then, Sandy. Now I'm not gonna be able to stop saying Sandy, Sandy. Okay, I'll stop. I'll stop. Okay, so then, yeah, he's got the cigarette behind his ear and he's flirting with Natalie. Now, Lala said that she slides into people's DMs, and on her confessional, the producer asks, like, whose DMs have you slided into? And she's like, I'm not Sheena Shay. I'm not gonna say. And they evoked Shina Shay's name. And I like that because Sheena wrote a whole book. I remember. Did anyone read Sheena's book? Because there's like. I remember there was this, like, whole paragraph of who she fucked. You know, it was all like, the famous guys, and it was just like naming all. It was like John Mayer, then this. But she named them all. And most memoirs like that, they don't name people or they try to disguise names and stuff like that. But she was just like, here's who I fucked. Or I don't think she said fucked, but, you know, she. And I read that and I was like, sister, yes.

Podcast Co-host or Guest
Sister, yes.

Danny Pellegrino
Because that list of names that Sheena had was, like a good list. I think I forget who the names on it were, but there was, like, a lot of hot, like, men that I thought, well, if I was a hot young person in Hollywood in my 20s, it was like my dream list. Did anyone ever see that list that was published of, like, people that Lindsay Lohan hooked up with? And I remember seeing that thinking, wow, that's. That's like my dream list of people to hook up with? Like, good for you, girl. Anyway, so then, let's see. What are we Lala? The way she flirts in the DMs is by giving a chef's kiss emoji. And Schwartz made a joke that that basically means, do you like a me? Which I. I told you, I'm still my son still makes him laugh. Every time I say, it's a me, a papa, it's a me, a papa. Like, he laughs every time. And so I have to keep doing it. Unfortunately, I'm doing my Mario impression. Although my husband Matt thinks it's Rob Schneider in the Hot Chick. Okay, moving on. Natalie gives me. Not Natalie. One of them. No. Who was that? The son from the manicure pedicure place. That gal shows up at the manicure pedicure. Schwartz made a joke about, like, showing up to the singles night, and then she showed up, and I was like, girl, get out of here. Get out of here. Schwartz flirting with Natalie, though, was making me laugh. It was kind of reminding me of Joe. Remember Joe? Oh, Joe. But then Schwartz was flirting with this Natalie, and his flirting is so bad. He was like, you should do voiceover work. And she did have a good voice, but, like, that's not how you flirt, Schwartz. But it was endearing to me. Michelle sees Tom as, like, a little kid. And she's right. She wants older, mature, so she's not even trying to pretend anymore about, like, her and Schwartz hooking up. And I like that. But Natalie, as she's flirting with Schwartz, says he has adhd, which made me laugh. And then this is when the dumbass nail salon girl shows up. And God bless her, she seemed like a lovely gal. And if she's listening to this podcast, I do just want to say, I get you, girl. Like you producers probably prodded her, told her to show up to the singles night. I get it. But she showed up and immediately was like, will you put that sucker in my mouth? Like, she was. He had a blow pop or something. And she's like, will you put it in my mouth? And I was like, girl, you need to love yourself and get out of here. Get the fuck out. Because this is to just show up to the singles night when none of them wanted her there, and then she just didn't get the hint. And she was like, put the sucker in my mouth. I'm like, girl, enough. I love you, but I love you. And my heart goes out to you, and I hope that you find love and peace in prosperity in your future, but this ain't it. Now Schwartz can't navigate two Women at once. He's like, I don't have the game for it. But Natalie is the one who he's into. Michelle's being a good wingman. She's like, tom, go kiss Natalie. But he's afraid because the Summer, the girl's name from the nail salon, the gal's name is Summer. And I love the name Summer. But that also unfortunately reminds me of Shina Shea as well. Does she hangs with Lala and Michelle, though. The Summer hangs with her. And then she made this, like, very awkward Little Mermaid joke because somebody said, oh, he's going to kiss the girl. And then I think Lala said that. And Summer was like, yeah, Little Mermaid, yeah. And I was like, get out of here. Get out of here, Rotten Hill. Get out of here. I love me some Little Mermaid, too. But it was just very awkward. Read the room. Like, did she not? And again, I want to give Summer some grace because I'd imagine producers wanted her to stick around for the awkwardness, but it was. She needed to get out of there. Okay, so then Schwartz also brought up Katie outside. He's crushing, though, on Natalie. I was proud of him for at least flirting. At least flirting. Let's take a break here, and then we're going to talk about this date night. This date night that Kristen and Luke did. They went on a date night, and Brittany showed up to take care of the baby for their date night. Their date night. They're on a date night. I'm here for your date night. I'm here to babysit for your date night. Okay. We'll be right back.

I feel like every year Mother's Day sneaks up on me and I go into the same panic spiral. Do I do flowers, a card, brunch? 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. 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 had 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. So make Mother's Day special with Aura Frames named number one by Wirecutter. You can save on the gifts moms love by visiting auraframes.com for a limited time. Listeners can get $25 off their best selling Carver Mat frame with Code Iconic. That's araframes Aura Ara Frames promo Code Iconic. Support the show by mentioning us at checkout.

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.

So Kristen and Luke's house, Brittany shows up. She's like, y' all ready for your date night? Date night. Date night. She's really leading into the date night phrasing, and I like that. Tom and Zach also show up because when Kristen and Luke had the baby, Tom and Zach gave her like, a gift card, a coupon, which I. I'm sorry. Like, I love the idea of, like, making coupons for people. Like, you know, when you're a kid and you do that, you make a coupon book for Mother's Day or something for your mom. You make a coupon book that's like free. I'll make dinner once or something, or do something nice for the other person. And it's like, they could use the coupons. And that's basically what Tom and Zach did. And I like that. I like that. Even though it's very childish, I love it. But unfortunately, the coupon that they were giving Kristen And Luke was that like, we'll take care of the baby for four hours for your date knot. And Kristen, Luke, like, well, yeah, actually, though, you guys can take of a baby taking care of a baby because I don't trust either of you to take care of the baby. So they invited Brittany over. Now, I would trust Brittany with my baby. I would Brit bananas. I feel like she. I feel safe with Brittany. I don't know how much I trust Brittany with, but I would trust her to watch the baby for four hours as well as watching Zach and Tom. Now, I do wish there's obviously the shows about couples in the next phase of their relationship and having kids and stuff like that. I do wish there was a gay couple with kids on the show. Just because I hate the sort of. I hate the thing of, like, Zach, and I love Zach, and so unfortunately, I'm gonna complain about him for a second. I hate the thing with the. Like, how do I hold the baby? Do I pet the baby? What do I do? Like, I hate the trope of, like, the gay man not knowing what to do with the baby. And unfortunately, I'm gonna sound maybe too woke here again. But it just reinforces that stereotype of, like, men not knowing what to do with the baby. And I just don't like it. He was like, sitting there, like, do I. Do I hold the baby like this? Do I pet the baby? And I was like, zach, pull it together and hold the fucking baby. He does say he had colic, so he was a troubling baby. So maybe he just, you know, it's in his nature to not know what to do with the baby. But it would be nice to just see a man on screen on this show know what to do with the baby. And I just feel like, bare minimum, can there be somebody who knows what a man, someone with a dick on this show who knows what to do with the baby? Please, I beg of them. Okay, so then Kristin, though, her and Luke go to this bar and they order some pizza. And unfortunately, I gotta criticize Kristin here because a couple weeks ago on the show she was eating a burrito with a fork, and now here she is eating the pizza with a fork. I'm like, girl, why are you eating it like that? Just pick up the slice. And she's mad at Luke. So I understand there's emotions involved. So maybe she just can't focus on the pizza. And eating on camera is already a nightmare. But I felt like she should have picked up that slice and ate it a different way. I Mean eating with a fork and then eating a burrito with a fork. Does she just have an aversion to her hands, her grippers? It's like that's. There's certain foods. I'm not saying eat everything. You know, I've been to Medieval Times and I'm asking for flatware there. Unfortunately, they don't have it because they're trying to act like you're in Medieval times. But I do have to also point out that you can order gluten free at Medieval Times, which I don't believe that people had a gluten allergy in medieval Times. So why can't I get a fucking fork? I'm sorry to say, but that's my honest truth. You go to the Medieval Times? I went in Florida when we went on a family vacation a couple years back and I thought, how can my sister in law order gluten free? But I can't get a fucking fork and a knife to cut my. Probably salmonella filled chicken. What's the. What's the truth? Medieval Times. Anyway, I think there are certain foods that you should have a fork and knife for, but a pizza and a burrito, those are a. Kristen, unfortunately, you need to use your grippers. Just hold on tight and dig in. That's. Dive right on in. She ate that burrito with the fork and the pizza with the fork. What's next? What's next? And earlier in the episode she had the salad. Like, that's fine. Eat the salad with the fork. I'm not saying lift that up with your grippers. But a pizza and a burrito, you gotta just pick up and go to town. Go to town, forget the red lights on you and just have some fun. But she said to Luke, I asked you to not sleep on the couch and to help out the next morning. And he couldn't do that. And he feels like she doesn't respect him or care how he feels. And it's like, well, no fucking shit. No shit, dummy. She just birthed a child and she's taking care of the baby too, as you should be, too. So sorry if your feelings aren't at the top of her list of priorities at the moment. Maybe just deal with it in the first three months. I would say at least wait till six, maybe nine months, maybe a year even before you start having these kinds, like going at your wife and say, or your mother of your child and saying, I feel like you're not respecting me because I can't go fishing or, or get wasted with my buddies. It's like, yeah, maybe wait a little while before that. This is only three months. And Luke's like, I tried to talk to you, but you shut down. And Kristen's like, why? Because I won't you. And it's like, everything that Luke is doing makes. And like, I. Who would want to fuck him? Whether or not Kristen's going through postpartum or anything? And, like, I don't think he's being very appealing to anybody who's. He could be the horniest person on the planet. And you're still looking at Luke being like, I don't want to fuck that guy right now. Like, he's being. He's being a demon, unfortunately. And, like, I'm on. I'm trying to give Luke grace, but I'm having a hard time because he says he's not allowed to have a hard time. Only Kristen. He's like, this is not where I want to be. You know that he wants to be in Colorado. And so look again. I understand that. And so that's the kind of devil's advocate I see for Luke is like, he did, I think, give up his life in Colorado to be on this show, and I don't know that he wanted to give up. I think if this show didn't happen, Kristen might have moved to Colorado and maybe they would have lived a life there. But the show happened, and then this is where they're at now. And so that's where I find some grace for Luke of like this. I don't believe that he wanted to do this show or live this life. It's what's happening now in terms of the job on camera. I don't mean the baby part of it, but I don't think this is what maybe he wanted. And Kristin said in the first trimester, Luke complained about the pregnancy and she thought he was going to leave her. And that was the first trimester. There was one day where she said she was melting down, and Luke said, I can't do this anymore. But then Luke said something really sweet. He said, I will never leave you. And they agree to couples counseling, which is nice. You know, I think I've mentioned this before, too, but when our baby. When we brought the baby home, it was like that. Those first couple of months, I like, up my therapy like crazy. I was doing the virtual therapy, and I was like, I gotta do it once a week, doc, because I need once a week, baby. Let's lock in. Let's clock into work and start talking about my feelings because I needed it. That first couple of. I think, like, that first month or two, it was like once a week. I needed it. Not. We didn't have couples problems, but it was more. I had a more individual where I was just, like, kind of going through, like, a crazy mental mind. But thank God for therapy. It's important. But, yeah, I think. I don't know. I'm sad about it all this. It's just a really bleak episode. And so, unfortunately, my advice to everybody who just watched this episode is to go forth on social media and find the Arby's prank and to prank your friends about Arby's and just say. Just say, hey, what do you want from Arby's? I'm picking us up dinner or let's all meet for dinner. Where do you want to go? Say Arby's. Next week on the Valley, Kristen gets a Brazilian wax, and Zach walks in and he sees her flapjacks, and he, like, makes a big deal out of it. This was another episode with no Janet. This was two weeks in a row, no Janet. So I know a lot of you out there are saying, sister, yes. No Janet.

sister, yes. But I'm sure she'll be back next week. It looks like she in the previews. She's in the preview for next week. And what else do we got going on? That's it. Any other Bravo stuff? Are you guys watching Beverly Hills? The reunion? The part one of the reunions, actually, I thought was pretty good, although. Yeah, it was pretty good. Although there was a lot of, like, I felt like there were so many packages, and obviously I thought the show. The season of Beverly Hills was terrible. I mentioned that a million times. But one of the tells for the reunion was, like, they kept having to show packages. So they kept being like, let's show. And I think when there's a really good reunion and they're all kind of in the moment, they don't show as many packages. So if you notice on, like, Salt Lake City Housewives or some of the other ones that have had good reunions, they might show, like, one person's package, and then that'll be, like a jumping off point to talk about a million things. But on Beverly Hills Part one, at least, it felt like they kept going from package to package. It was like, let's do this person's package, then this person. And there was no breathing room in between. And it was still a good. I still thought it was a good part one of the reunion. But I did notice that little, like, weird editing thing, but I was Happy that they did the set to be like Rodeo Drive and not. Not like when the Real House of Salt Lake City had a pirate ship that was covered in ice. Like, that was an issue for me. And then what else is happening on Bravo? We got. Did you guys see the Golden Life? That's gonna be on E? That's with our old Roni gals. And they were filming with. So I don't know if you're aware of this, but it's Ramona Luann, Dorinda, Kelly Bensimon, and Sonya in Florida. And they were caught filming with Jules Weinstein. That's right. Jules was filming. Excited to see how that goes out. I think it's gonna be. Actually, the stuff that I've seen of them filming made me more excited than I was before about it. So that's. That's a good thing. And then also, Summerhouse is now filming their reunion as of this recording. I think they're filming it right now. I saw this morning Andy posted this video or this picture of him at the Summer House reunion, and I'm curious to see how it plays out, because just the night before last night, as of this recording, Mia from Southern Hospitality was on Watch what Happens Live. And she had said that back in. I think it was the end of last year, maybe October, November, somewhere around there. I forget. But at the end of last year, she had gone on a date with west and she had said that at BravoCon. I believe that Amanda had gone up to her and said that she was pre gaming with west before west went on the date with Mia. Now, this muddies the timeline a little bit because they had said that their relationship didn't start till, what, February. West and Amanda said that. But now Mia's saying there's too many, too many smoking guns. And so not only do I have questions about the timeline, and hopefully Andy is bringing this up at the reunion about Mia, but I also have to point out that, like, Mia is very clearly a star because that's how you get on the mix. That's what I've been asking of Bailey and Levi and some of these other people over on Summer House is to get in the mix and give us some good receipts, some juicy timeline stuff or something. And Mia saw an opening. She's like, I'm gonna be on Watch what Happens Live. And I feel like she saved this little bit of information for Watch what Happens Live right before they're about to film the Summer House reunion. She knew what she was doing, and it helps her show. It helps Summerhouse it also helps the buzz for Summerhouse. It's gonna help secure Mia's job on this network for a while. And I just have to say, some of these other people need to be taking notes. Okay. Because that's how you drop some information that is relevant to the storyline of Summerhouse, as well as get you in the mix, getting your Southern hospitality show in the mix, and doing something for the people, for the audience. Giving us something to. Something to talk about. In the words of Bonnie Raitt, let's give them something to talk about. Mia said, let's give them something to talk about. When I was a kid, I, like, loved that Bonnie Raitt had that white streak in her hair. Like, that was, like the. The most glamorous thing. Like, to me, that was the epitome of glamour. As a child. I thought, wow, she's got this gorgeous red hair. It's like auburny hair. She was singing that song, let's give them something to talk about. And then she had that. Like, that. I thought it was so chic, that, like, white streak in her hair. I just thought, like, that's glamour. Because I had never seen anything like that before as a kid. I just. I thought, like, how is it? How is she doing this highlight? And then, of course, post that. There was a lot of people doing chunky highlights. I think of Kelly Clarkson on the Thankful album cover, but, like, the Bonnie Raitt one. I don't know if that was a highlight or just the way her hair. Natural version of her hair, but I thought, like, wow, that's glamour. That's glamor. She was giving me something to talk about on the playground. I was going up to the other kids at recess and saying, did you see Bonnie Raitt's hair on the Rosie o' DONNELL Show? All the boys on the playground. I was just like, hey, did you guys see Bonnie Raitt's white streak? I love it. Isn't it glamorous? And then they'd be like, who? And I'd be like, you know, Bonnie Raitt. Anyway, let's bid you adieu. Thank you all so much for listening. And we'll be back next week with Summer House and the Valley.
