This podcast is brought to you by Aura. By the time you hear about a data breach, your information has already been exposed for months. On average, companies take 277 days to report a breach.

Listen in, listen up.
Unknown
Hannah McDonald, juicy scoop. Hello and welcome to Juicy Scoop. I have our girl, Kate Casey from reality life with Kate Casey, my good friend. We have so much to discuss. Welcome back, girl.
Kate Casey
Thank you very much. Good to be here.
Unknown
Thank you. I was at my new target and a cute mom, Juicy Scooper, but also a fan of yours, was like, I just got done listening to your show. And right away I was like, what do you think? Are you dying over Garcelle? And I started to talk about that. And then I go, oh, and you'll have to listen Thursday because I've got Kate Casey. And she goes, oh, I love her.
Kate Casey
Oh, that's nice.
Unknown
And she's like, I listen to her show, too. So I want to talk to you guys first. Cause I know I was shooketh. You were shooketh. Another one of my predictions came true and on the day, and sometimes I do, I once in a while get some inside scoop. I had no inside scoop. That Garcelle of real houses, Beverly Hills was going to quit. And when I was talking with Jacques on Monday, we record on Monday and Wednesdays for a Tuesday and Thursday drop, especially if it's a topical show. And I just have, like this whip vision. I'm like, I just have a feeling she won't be coming back. So when I woke up on Tuesday morning and the first thing that popped up is, you know, this very nice video that she did that was clearly. She spent a lot of time on. It was like an acting monologue. And it was great. And it should. She's an actress. She's a performer. It was good. I was like, oh, my God. So then I had to have Drake, my son, put together a video proving that, like, I did had this weird prediction happen. But I did not realize that they filmed the reunion on February 28th. And then according to Erica and Bose, who was on Watch for Hummus Live, that she, you know, and we now see the trailer, she walks off and she did a like, I'm done with this bullshit. And so Erica's like, well, we knew she wasn't coming back two weeks ago. You knew. You knew Andy. And he's like, no, I didn't. She's like, she didn't take the group photo. Well, that wouldn't have convinced me that.
Kate Casey
She wouldn't have truly got either.
Unknown
Yeah.
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
So I have so many thoughts, but I want you to chime in before I continue on.
Kate Casey
Did you see Kempire's video?
Unknown
Yes, I spoke to Kempire.
Kate Casey
Okay, good.
Unknown
Who has also, you know, been on Juicy Scoop as well and has a great following of his own. And yes, he basically has all the scoop of what happens at the reunion, which is Bose brings up the fact that Garcelle has questioned the legitimacy of the robbery of Dorit for a while. And according to Kempire sources who were working on the set that day or whatever that Bose says, if it was me, I would have sued you, Garcelle, for defamation.
Kate Casey
It's a little bit of a stretch.
Unknown
I think that's unfair. I mean, we don't know the context. We haven't watched the whole show, and even if we do, it's gonna be edited. But, yeah, that is something that has been in the zeitgeist, that has been discussed for years, that there it was strange circumstances. She was home a day early that she flew home earlier than she was supposed to. So maybe these people planning on robbing it, whether they were tipped off or not, weren't expecting her to be there. They were very nice to leave her phone by the planter at the edge of the gate at her home. There were. She had her wedding ring on, which maybe was in a jewelry cleaner. Maybe it was. Maybe she curled it on her finger. Maybe she wasn't wearing it, and they only went to the closet. There were all those kind of things that Garcelle brought up that other people who watch the show and follow stuff has brought up.
Kate Casey
Well, it sounds like she was just asking questions. That was already out there on social media. But to say defamation, I think that's a bit of a stretch.
Unknown
Right. And then what. And also what Erica was saying about. I'm just asking questions about. To Sutton is. Yes, Sutton did her job, too. When Erica was going through all the shit with Tom Girardi, Sutton did the job of what makes the show popular, which makes us. Is she asked the questions, you know, why was there $25 million put in your account? All that kind of stuff. Like, if she didn't do that it would have just been, you know, bitter Erica. And, like, we now are happy that Erica's through it and back on Broadway and looking fabulous and is kind of a great girls girl.
Kate Casey
But she's boring.
Unknown
I mean, do you think Erica's boring?
Kate Casey
Yeah. I mean, this season, all she did was show us, like, a renovation. There was. And by the way, right, if she's gonna. The whole show was boring this season. Let's be clear, okay? Nothing really happened. All of their lives have been pretty boring. True. So if you had not had all of the women at some point even pose a question, what else was to the show? It's a pretty boring show. You know, Brian Moylan always says it should be called Rich women that do things. It was Rich women that do things. We really didn't see anything this season. Boring.
Unknown
Well, I always say, well, if your life is peaceful and you're not going through a divorce and you're not dating anyone and your kids are at peace or your kids don't really want to be a part of it, what are you supposed to do? You know, you just have to be your funny self or non funny self or whatever in a moment. Like, you can't, like, create, you know, that you. That someone close to you is going through something horrible or you're going through something. Like, you can't create tragedy to, like, stay on the show. Like so. But I think it's funny that both Garcelle and Erica, from what I can tell from Watch what happens live, Erica was harsh on Wash your homes live last night. She was, like, really, like, angry at Garcelle. It seemed like she was like, I mean, what? I haven't. Because then someone wrote like, well, you didn't show your life. We don't see who your other friends are. We don't see who you're dating. And she's like, please, you saw me. My whole life fall apart. You saw everything happen. I was sued. I'm being sued now. Like, you know, Garcelle, you bought a beach house in Bakersfield. And I was like, oh, my gosh.
Kate Casey
Really?
Unknown
That was kind of snarky. So now people are like, that was pretty mean.
Kate Casey
It was mean.
Unknown
It was Oxnard. And Oxnard is very nice.
Kate Casey
Very nice. Yes.
Unknown
And that, you know, that is what she's doing in her life. And we did get to see her on the Lifetime set. However, it's not that juicy. You know what I mean? It's like, her situation is not that.
Kate Casey
Your lives are juicy. I think they're all pretty boring. Sorry. But they've been on the show too long.
Unknown
And also, it's not our place to explore her older son Oliver's love life, in which he has now two baby mamas and whatever. Like, she's just like. And, you know, he's a recovering ad. Like, she doesn't. She. She did share that. She did share that. You know, some pretty heartbreaking things last year when he was trying to break into the house or something, and she knew he was an addict and she didn't know what to do. So I don't know. But in. In her leaving. Yeah. I think she had one of those reunions that made you just go, I don't even want to.
Kate Casey
What am I doing? I had a career before this.
Unknown
Yes.
Kate Casey
And I have opportunities that I should maximize before I'm on the show too long and everyone gets sick of me.
Unknown
So I don't know. I think it just came to a run. And yes. Having to having your kids be going to be seniors.
Kate Casey
Well, you know how that feels.
Unknown
Yeah, it was very stressful. I mean, I remember Jill Zarin kind of having a breakdown because she's like, I'm trying to get the kid in Vanderbilt. Like, she was like, this is a rough year for me. Like, yeah, it is a lot going on and she has two of them. And then also, if the boys are not down to be on it, then it's like, also, like, do I really want the world to know that they didn't get into their dream school? Or one did and the other didn't. I don't know if she even thought that far ahead. But that is something to stressful year. Like, consider to. Right. But then the other part is like, I can't believe she's giving up this $750,000 a year job.
Kate Casey
But, you know, you've always said it's emotional warfare. And so you kind of have to go in the end, like, what am I. Am I going to get anything extra out of one more season of this?
Unknown
Except just the paycheck.
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
Which takes a lot of time to get and then takes a lot of heartache and you're risking your sons being exposed. But another snarky thing Erica said yesterday where. Where she was like, she said something to the effect of like, we do have things in common. We both married ugly white men who cheated on us. And Annie was like, like, I thought that was pretty great. Like, I don't know why she's so pissed at Garcelle. Garcelle must say something kind of rude to Eric.
Kate Casey
Something happened behind the scenes.
Unknown
Behind the scenes at the reunion. Because I didn't really get it. Because I'm like. I feel like the two of them had never had an issue. Garcelle and I think that they probably.
Kate Casey
All have some sort of text chain where they say the most hateful things that we'll never know. And I was actually thinking, do you.
Unknown
Think we need to go Salt Lake City, everybody take out your phones and.
Kate Casey
Read the meanest shit you've ever. Yeah.
Unknown
Have a game.
Kate Casey
I do think the show is unbelievably boring. And then the fact that Kyle won't talk about anything. I mean, can you imagine if you're an accountant and you're like, I just don't really wanna talk about numbers anymore. Like, this is your job. You are paid to talk about your life.
Unknown
So Kyle's defense, in which I've seen her in these after shows and stuff, of not discussing Morgan, in which Garcelle has been putting her feet to the fire on that. She was like, you know, well, you don't wanna talk about Oliver. You don't wanna. Your kids don't wanna film. You know, so if someone in my life, just like your kids, requests not to be discussed.
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
Then I should have that result. And then the other argument would be like, okay, kids are one thing, love life's another. No, I mean, who's to say?
Kate Casey
You should say I'm in a predicament because I can't talk about that part of my life. Acknowledge it.
Unknown
But to just like, when a kid. When you're in a divorce and your spouse says the kids can't be on camera, like she said, Sutton's kids in the beginning couldn't be discussed. We couldn't see them. Now they can. Cause a couple of them are over 18. And. But with the Morgan thing, I agree with, you know, everything. Like, what is the deal? They. I didn't. I didn't realize how long ago the reunion was done. So since then, Kyle has been seen on tour in Europe with Morgan. At every show, I had one person write me, said with their own eyes, they were there. I saw them holding hands. And we keep waiting for, well, maybe I will have a story to tell.
Kate Casey
I just. Listen. Why are we watching a reality show if the people are not real about their life? I. Yeah, I'm not on a reality show. You don't really know that much about my life. That. I mean, like, I sign up every week to watch a show because we have a contractual agreement with them. Show us your life. What are we doing? Here, like, why are we doing this anymore? I don't know.
Unknown
Well, and you know the rules. It's not a regular job that you all check into the factory and do eight hours. So based on how much you bring, they will let certain people get away with bad behavior and others they don't. Well, it's, I mean, Jennifer Aiden is supposedly never going to come back to New Jersey because she was mean to the person at Jersey Mike's, which I'm all for. But someone else can go and do.
Kate Casey
A lot more than that.
Unknown
Right? But I'm saying someone else can do literally hard time trial and still come back like a Jen Shaw. So like, so I'm like. But it's because she wasn't bringing that much to the table and people were tired of her anyway. So thank you for being a dick one more time. Goodbye. We're gonna get into New Jersey in a minute. But with Kyle, I now do believe part of it might be Morgan. I don't wanna be part of the show anymore. I've said that before. Like, I don't. I'm a real country singer. I don't want this housewives like middle aged lady bullshit. Like, and those are not my fans. Like. But the other part I think is, and I said this on my patreon, I just don't think she's ready to say I am in love with a woman, therefore I'm a lesbian. I think she wants to maybe say I'm in a relationship with Morgan, but not go to the level of now I'm the poster child, the first housewife. You know that even though Bronwyn would like to say she's one the first bisexual housewife and I'm going to embrace it and I, and therefore I'm going to be the, you know, do the parade and be at Glad I don't. I just don't think she is ready to do that yet. And I don't think it's because. I think it's because she really is like, if she's having a relationship with Morgan, she's really like, I just, I just want to be with Morgan. I don't know how long it's going to last. I don't know that we're going to get married. But I also think there's this part of her that's like, I like being a wifey to a man. And you know, she might want to. Lauren Sanchez it. She might want to leave her options open for the future. If this thing doesn't work out with Morgan, I think she doesn't want to be so on the, on the spectrum of, like, she's our gay house. Like, she. I don't think she's ready to be on People magazine. Yep. I'm gay. Like Ellen. I just don't think she. That's why I think she's stalling.
Kate Casey
But if you're a private person, you shouldn't be on a reality show, right? Like you.
Unknown
But I'm saying, I just think she's waiting. Like she's waiting for something. She's waiting for a real commitment for Morgan or she feels like it's just a phase or. Or just that she's just not ready to say it. I mean, some people in the past, prior to, you know, this decade, were in the closet for a really, really long time and, you know, and had the luxury, not the luxury, but had to be in the closet or chose to be in the club, whatever. And we're just. And now it's like, what? It's. Because it's not a big deal, you know, but to some people, I mean, she is 55 years old, like. But I'm just saying that's what I think it is.
Kate Casey
They make a video together, right?
Unknown
Sexy video.
Kate Casey
You can't shame an audience that is eager to just understand you.
Unknown
Right.
Kate Casey
That's all. You know, you have the ability to say as much as you want, but you shouldn't be on a reality show because everyone else on the show in every other franchise is expected to expose all the parts of their life.
Unknown
Right.
Kate Casey
Maybe you've been on a show too long and you need to take some time away. I hate the way that it's shaming the audience. How dare you ask?
Unknown
Yeah, you're right.
Kate Casey
But like, what. What are we doing here? Why are we watching you on a reality show?

Snark side account on Instagram brought this up because Dorit was saying, I think that she says in the aftershow, in one of the after shows to Bows, Garcelle never even liked. I saw that she never even liked Sutton that much until Sutton could buy the friendship. What do you mean? Well, Garcelle had a charity event for. Where is she from? Haiti. Haiti, For Haiti. And Sutton, you know, very graciously, but again, bought a table for 25,000. Well, it reminded me of when she bought her table to Elton John and invited Lisa Rinna and then went and said, well, all I know is that Lisa never paid me for that. And Lisa was like, wait, what? And Lisa's whole thing was, I've been invited for years and not had to pay. And you were like, hey, want to come at my table? So I wasn't putting like two and two together. I just figured, like, whatever, you're a rich lady and I'm Lisa fucking Rinna and you want me at your table. And it was prior to her becoming a housewife and all of it led to her being a housewife. So like. So it's a little bit of that. But then I think they did enjoy each other. But do I think they'll be friends when Sutton's still on the show? Always.
Kate Casey
How we know a year after the.
Unknown
Show, hanging out and taking photos and talking on the phone when she's not on the show and Sutton is. I would, if this was. If there was a gambling situation going on, I would say, I'll put a couple grand down.
Kate Casey
Garcelle might be like, I cannot deal with anybody who was on that show for a good year. A lot of the housewives that we say, I just want. I can't follow accounts. I can't do anything. Sun's interesting.
Unknown
But wait, I just wanna say. So then what? She brought up brava. Snark said. Remember when she was like, joking, like, maybe I'll forgive you for a Kelly bag. For a Kelly bag to read, you know? But I just thought that was kind of funny.
Kate Casey
But yeah, the best episode this season was when they went back to Augusta and we got to meet Sutton's weird mom. Yeah, I love that kind of stuff where I, like, meet all the weird relatives, and then I figure out how the sausage is made.
Unknown
Right.
Kate Casey
However, I do think it comes down to Sutton, despite all the money that she has, will never be accepted in Beverly Hills because it's a company town, and she can't offer them anything because she doesn't work in the.
Unknown
In the industry.
Kate Casey
In the industry. So it's almost like a dork moves to town and they're not accepted, so they have their mom throw a party with everybody in the grade and have, like, a DJ to get people to like her. It's like, you can do as much as you want, but, like.
Unknown
Right. And that's never gonna be.
Kate Casey
That's why she kisses Kyle's ass. Kyle?
Unknown
Like, why? Because Kyle is queen bee, and Kyle is, you know, she's connected to everybody, and that's Paris.
Kate Casey
That's why she's obsessed. Yep.
Unknown
Yes.
Kate Casey
She wants to go to the Paris party so she can see, like, dua lipa.
Unknown
And she didn't come for money. I thought she. I mean, her house was nice, but it wasn't anything. And then when she revealed that her own mother was like, well, who's gonna support me if you divorce Christian, your ex husband? And she was like, why don't you care about me, mama? Like, no, I think that she married. I do think, you know, she married for love. Oh, that was the question about, did you marry for love? Erika Jayne, when she married Tom Girardi, Garcelle, I guess, posed that question. And that's when Erica said, I don't know. Did you. We both ended up with ugly white guys who cheated on us. Like, okay, whatever. But I thought that was pretty great on.
Kate Casey
I like that kind of stuff, too, though, because that, I believe, is the kind of stuff that they would say in Beverly Hills, like, behind one another's backs.
Unknown
Yes. And we can see it in front.
Kate Casey
Of their face, but it's all power dynamics. That's why we watch it. Sure, they have, like, nice clothes and all of that, but I like to watch it for all the power dynamics and, like, who. Who wants more power than the other person? Who matters? Who's higher on the scale?
Unknown
Yeah. But in just getting to. About Sutton, I think she came, you know, from a nice life. She got to be a prima ballerina, go to college, be a. You know, go to ballet school, whatever. And then I think she met Christian and then I think her, you know, his business exploded and he is very, very wealthy. And after being married for 20 years, she does deserve to have half and everything that like all that. But I think they're kind of like, that's what you got, your money. You are not.
Kate Casey
Right.
Unknown
You know, you're not generations of wealth. You didn't make it. Like, you didn't have it, you know, even funnier. You got rich as a married woman.
Kate Casey
Somebody was like, would you like what's on your LinkedIn resume? You know?
Unknown
Yeah. Sustainable fashion.
Kate Casey
I don't know.
Unknown
It's. We, we are doing clothes that are sustainable.
Kate Casey
But that store closed down. No.
Unknown
Yes. But it's by recycled materials.
Kate Casey
Okay.
Unknown
And I had a fashion show and I was proud of myself.
Kate Casey
I think sometimes people, when they get a lot of money too, they like lose all sense of reality.
Unknown
She did have another name situation with, with Kyle, which I kind of loved.
Kate Casey
Oh, I heard when she was like.
Unknown
Do you believe it? Do you believe it? Do you believe. And it is like, oh my God. And she was walking around being the victim. And I did agree with everything Erica said and like, I understand. It feels like a gang up. And you're on this reality show. I mean, it is such a weird, like psychological emotional warfare as we've said. Like, I can, I feel for like all of them.
Kate Casey
Do you like this? The close up shots when they're getting their makeup done. I find that to be so boring.
Unknown
It's so interesting that, like, they never had that back in the day and now they all bring their glam, but.
Kate Casey
I think that's them expressing their power. Like, I'm obviously more famous and more wealthy and all of that because I have a team of four. And you only have one girl that's doing a blowout from the blowout bar. Like, I have this guy who also does the Kardashians hair and he's traveling with me on this trip.
Unknown
All I know is that they, according to like Carol Radziwell and people like that from the earlier years, if you wanted, if it was a, you know, a vacation where you're gonna jump in the water.
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
They will provide a local person to come over and do your hair.
Kate Casey
Okay.
Unknown
Okay. That's included. But not the makeup. So. But there are local people that you could pay, I guess, to do your makeup if you wanted that too. But the bows brought her own people. You know, all I believe. I don't know if even Erica brought her. She must have brought her. I don't know.
Kate Casey
I feel like, she had her assistant doing her makeup.
Unknown
Erica did.
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
Yeah. I'm so glad I do my own makeup. I mean, I really think Michael and.
Kate Casey
Kathy do their own makeup.
Unknown
Yeah. And that was another thing. There was a big thing about this guy who I saw he's doing someone's makeup in the preview of the reunion. But. But he's the one that had the big riff with.
Kate Casey
Well, he was on that trip, too, to St. Lucia. So that. I'm saying that's a power move because, you know, well, he's with me, and he's going to leave from here and go and work on, you know, an Oscar winner. And then that's their, like, little power move.
Unknown
Yeah. And that was that Dorit didn't pay him, and then he did a video saying, yeah. So anyway, that's where we are with all of that. I still think there's a chance they'll bring back Lisa Rinna, by the way.
Kate Casey
Just a side note.
Unknown
What?
Kate Casey
Back in the day, it was much more fun in New York when they would go on those trips because they would, like, share a room, like Ramona and Sonya, and now they come with four people deep as their glam squad that have to stay with them. Or Sutton brought her assistant.
Unknown
Yeah.
Kate Casey
And it eliminates a lot of the fun of the hijinks that happen when they have to live together. Now they're isolated in these cottages with a full makeup and glam team. And I think it's a buzzkill.
Unknown
I think it's getting ready and doing each other's hair. Oh, yeah. I mean, I just can't compare to how fun New York was. But also, those chicks were getting wasted. So I think that. I think there is a chance that they will bring Bek, Lisa Rinna. I really do.
Kate Casey
They'll beg her. Maybe. But don't you think she's texting Garcelle right now? Like, girl, set yourself free.
Unknown
Yeah. Oh. She's like, yeah, of course. She's like, I'm so much happy. I have a podcast with my husband, and we make tomato sauce like it is. I am so relieved. No, if they call her, she will come.
Kate Casey
You think?
Unknown
100%. Yes. We've had some fun, you know, seeing in her weird outfits with her bleached brows and whatever. But no, she would much rather. She's a hustler. She must rather get dressed.
Kate Casey
And I feel like they would make someone grovel before they would have them back. She has said so much about the franchises.
Unknown
I don't think they care.
Kate Casey
They'd make her Pay a little bit.
Unknown
I think you need her and I think you're gonna ask her and she's going to accept.
Kate Casey
Years and years ago, I remember one of the casting directors telling me that they had this really good option for a new cast member, but she was for Beverly Hills, but she was plus size and they just didn't think it would work.
Unknown
How many years ago was that?
Kate Casey
I'm gonna go with like five.
Unknown
That is so lame.
Kate Casey
Lame.
Unknown
I know, because I mean. Yeah, now it doesn't matter, obviously.
Kate Casey
No who, like without a personality.
Unknown
So on this trip, they're in St. Lucia and for the last night, Beau's whatever, producers organize that they all have to wear these outfits. Like they're like, you know, feathers.
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
I couldn't believe some of the outfits. I mean, Erika Jayne, tits under tit, Clevelet tip the tiniest bows in the tiniest outfit with the feathers. Now Jennifer Tilly, she did a one piece. She was like, I'm not doing a bikini. Kathy Hilton was like, I'm wearing a muumuu. Like, leave me alone. I'm wearing a caftan. Like, whatever.
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
And then I thought they were, you know, and I guess they do have a party at the end, but then they have to go sit down in these things with the big feathers and all this other stuff. And I am like, I just couldn't believe. I couldn't.
Kate Casey
Moose's outfit was pretty skippy. Then she sat down and had a whole dinner. That's kind of funny.
Unknown
Had a whole dinner and just like a full blown, like bikini. Like not even tiniest bikini. Like a tinier bikini.
Kate Casey
Can you imagine, like eating dinner in that outfit?
Unknown
That's one of the things that I'm like. I mean, a lot of them have the bodies, you know, to do it, but like when, like, they'd make Salt Lake cities do like, oh, we're doing a bondage leather and bondage party as a girls. As a 50 year old girls night.
Kate Casey
I'm like, what?
Unknown
And nobody wants to do this on their trip, but I get it. It's a TV show. So let's get in this feather outfit and take a photo.
Kate Casey
And I would be like, I had five kids. I'm not doing that. Ugh, no.
Unknown
So, yeah, but it was all good. But Jennifer Tilly, she's gonna stay.
Kate Casey
She's great.
Unknown
And providing that Sutton also stays so that she could just be like, hi, Sutton. Sutton. Yeah, hi, Sutton.
Kate Casey
I mean, they clearly brought her on because she softens Sutton a little bit. But like the net. Net Is like, she's unbelievably difficult to be around. She's really hard to get along with.
Unknown
Sutton is.
Kate Casey
Yes, yes. And uses her money to impress people. And I just. Again, it's a company town, and she's the dork with money. Right?
Unknown
Yeah. But that's why she's not gonna go, because she does bring some weird conflict, and she does say, I hope she doesn't go.
Kate Casey
I love to watch her.
Unknown
What do you think about. What do you think about PK and Dorit? Do you have any. Well, iron sight or theory?
Kate Casey
I interviewed him a couple years ago.
Unknown
Interviewed who?
Kate Casey
Pk.
Unknown
Okay.
Kate Casey
And I like him. I think he's really funny. I think that it's a surprise to me, the more I watch the show, that they even got married. I just don't see. I don't see that. How. I don't. I don't know.
Unknown
I mean, I think they fell in love. And, you know, I remember the wedding photos. Like, Jagger was in the wedding, so I think they were blessed with a pregnancy. And then, you know, but their personalities. Right. And then. And then if she seemed to mash up, and then, of course, it's been 15 years, so if she met him at, you know, in her mid-20s or late 20s, and now she's 48, she's gonna change a lot and then put a show where she's been very famous for 10 years, not for being an actor or something, but just for her own personal life that involves her marriage and everything. Yeah, it's. It's bad. I don't think they'll make it.
Kate Casey
Oh, I don't think so either.
Unknown
No.
Kate Casey
But. Yeah, I feel like they'll end up on some other show together, maybe together, apart. I don't know. They'll probably. I feel like they'll be in the ether for a while.
Unknown
They're. Yeah.
Kate Casey
But I just can't understand how they got married, because they feel so. Their personalities are so dissimilar.
Unknown
So he did. We find out that PK got an invitation to appear on Reunion, which he's done in the past, but did not come this year, and, like, sent a statement that's in the preview. What do you think about that?
Kate Casey
I think he probably just didn't want to litigate things on the show because these spouses, they have little to no control over how it all goes. And, I mean, it's really. The narrative of the show is through the wife. So I think that a lot of these spouses, over time. I mean, I remember interviewed John Fuda Last year.
Unknown
Oh, of New Jersey.
Kate Casey
Yeah. I mean, they feel endlessly frustrated and. Because it trickles into their lives, you know, their businesses, their.
Unknown
Their exes.
Kate Casey
Their exes, Their exes, you know, their. Their children from their first marriages.
Unknown
Yeah.
Kate Casey
I feel like they get to the point where, like, it's not worth it to us.
Unknown
Right. You know, to, like, to defend ourselves. Just throw in the towel, like, forget it.
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
Okay, so let's talk about. I talked about this on the previous show. Now everyone has picked it up. People, Us Weekly, about Teresa and Louis of Real Housewives of New Jersey. Yes. He owes these taxes well into the 2 millions. She also has a tax bill herself in the 300 thousands while she's doing tiktoks, dancing to Anxiety with a shirt that says she's my love. Language is all like, Fendi. Louis Vuitton. Yeah. She's dancing that song. I don't even. I think someone just said, this is a trend. And she didn't even put two to two together, that maybe she shouldn't be dancing to anxiety. And then there was a clip going around of Gia at the bar, her daughter, and Teresa and Annie going, so you're marrying Louis. Do you have a prenup? No, I'm not gonna have a prenup. You know, he's got more money than I do. And what we've learned is he bought their home that they live in together and then got a mortgage put in her name. And I don't know what question I.
Kate Casey
Have, what names are on the deed?
Unknown
I don't know.
Kate Casey
That would be a good question.
Unknown
Well, I mean, either, you know, he has it somewhere or he doesn't. So either he works it out and pays it, or he has to work out a payment plan and pay it, or they have to sell the house or whatever. All of which I said, I think. I think that's juicy. I. I'm sorry. People go, I don't want to see that. No, people would want to see that. People would want to see if their love will prevail if she wakes up and leaves them. If he leaves her, she's never going to leave. Or, you know how the daughters react. Will the daughters ever come around and go, mom, maybe Louie isn't who we think he is? Or. Or, like. Because even her, even, like, Joe Giudice seems to like him. Like, okay, I just had another vision, and it's not a good one. It's. It's not a good one.
Kate Casey
I don't think he likes you guys.
Unknown
And Louie, do One of those pay per view boxing things.
Kate Casey
It's going to happen. No way. You know what my prediction is?
Unknown
I just gave Louis the idea. He probably hadn't thought of it yet.
Kate Casey
I predict what? That Teresa comes home one day and there's nothing in the house. He's cleaned the house out and he's moved to another country and he never talks to her again.
Unknown
Is that before or after he fights Joe Giudice in a pay per view YouTube.
Kate Casey
I'm say after boxing.
Unknown
So we do that.
Kate Casey
This is going to be like an Unsolved Mysteries where Louis Ruelas just disappeared into the night. And then they're going to have to go through the sequence of events of the first marriage and the second marriage, the wedding, not signing the prenup.
Unknown
And then Hulu Impact does a thing on it.
Kate Casey
Yeah, absolutely.
Unknown
I don't think it's up there for Netflix. I think it's a Hulu Impact doc.
Kate Casey
Does it not surprise you that he's trying to be like a life coach?
Unknown
Of course.
Kate Casey
It's like he's exactly who he was when he showed up into our lives at the Prayer Warrior weekend.
Unknown
Oh, my God.
Kate Casey
You know.
Unknown
Yes.
Kate Casey
But if we watch that show, isn't it sort of like watching seven seasons of Tinder Swindler?
Unknown
Yeah. I mean, you know, he never could explain what he did. It's, you know. But let's just see. Let's see. I want to see how they're going to get out of it. I want to see how they're going to either make the money, work it out, admit it, say, you know, blame it on the tax guy, blame it on her lawyer that, you know, we always used to see that lawyer.
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
That also, like, helped with brand deals or whatever. I don't even know. Like, I need to know, but I.
Kate Casey
Feel like she makes the money and then he's spending it, you know, like they were always on vacations. And it got. Made me sick to my stomach because I thought, he's spending her money.
Unknown
They were on vacations. Very expensive vacations. And, you know, staying at beautiful hotels, taking friends, private jets and so.
Kate Casey
And it's all smoke and mirrors.
Unknown
Yeah.
Kate Casey
I'm just. Yeah, it's devastating for those girls, I'm sure.
Unknown
And then what will happen with her outstanding live show appearances? She's got the. The one on the waves.
Kate Casey
She does, yeah.
Unknown
She's Housewives on the Sea. Oh, on the Sea with Shannon Beador. Because I kicked off Jennifer Aiden. Wait, is Louis Aiden gets kicked off for Peak for. For bitching About a ten dollar sandwich. But. But Teresa, three million dollars with her husband, west government. But we're going to keep her on the. What, like on the waves or whatever it's called. Wives on the waves. And then with Dolores who is like, you know, been, you know, been keeping silent about everything. Remember her son worked for Louis. Are we ever gonna know the truth of what happened there?
Kate Casey
I know. And then part of the documentary.
Unknown
So again she probably wants to protect all that.
Kate Casey
And do you want to be on a cruise ship with Louis Ruellis?
Unknown
I mean I wanted to dinner with.
Kate Casey
This questions in when you're out to see. I would be a little bit concerned.
Unknown
Yeah. There's a lot of mysteries about people going missing on a cruise ship too that are married. Let's hope that.
Kate Casey
Remember the guy George, who had just gone on his honeymoon and he was on the cruise ship and the beautiful blonde wife.
Unknown
Yes.
Kate Casey
Kind of went to another area of.
Unknown
The boat dancing with Russians.
Kate Casey
Yes. And then they heard a bang.
Unknown
Heard the Russian voices and then there.
Kate Casey
Was the blood below.
Unknown
Like he like fell, like he went over one balcony, hit something which caused the blood on another one and then.
Kate Casey
Fell into the water. Right.
Unknown
Yeah.
Kate Casey
We never knew that was a doozy.
Unknown
I don't want anything like that to happen. Obviously.
Kate Casey
I have an idea also. She's supposed to have an idea.
Unknown
Yes.
Kate Casey
A game show.
Unknown
Yes.
Kate Casey
Where two people are facing each other like this. Where you're quizzed on what date lines. You know, like just like give a couple details. Like the murder happened in Iowa.
Unknown
Okay.
Kate Casey
There's a missing boyfriend. And then the contestants have to be like, you know, hit the buzzer, you know, Mary Jane, Blah, blah, blah, 1986, Dateline, episode four, Keith Morrison. And you have to say who was the host when the person died and give all the details.
Unknown
I think that could be very fun.
Kate Casey
Right.
Unknown
I think we could do something with that. Do you.
Kate Casey
Wait, you know my other idea?
Unknown
What? Oh yeah, I thought. I think I posted your reel.
Kate Casey
Okay. Yeah, we'll tell it. It's a game show where you are given a friend's boyfriend's picture and name. And while the clock is ticking, you have to find out as much information as possible about them because I think the women are so good at that.
Unknown
Right. But obviously it couldn't be a real boyfriend, but it could just be any guy who's willing to let their information be found and then just see. And then the producers and stuff could hide certain things and see how far and how quick a girl could go. Like we would be like Everything.
Kate Casey
Just so you know, we went on a vacation in Jamaica six years ago with that girl named Brittany. And Brittany just posted a meme that says reuniting with someone is a big deal. Like, we would go so down that rabbit hole. And so the whole game show is like, how can you figure out, right? And then the person who's dating is like, holy.
Unknown
Wait. And then they do like two side by sides. And he took the girl to the same resort. Yes. Photo on the same place. Where, like, everyone probably takes a romantic photo. And so he clearly doesn't have any fresh ideas or whatever. I love that. I love all of it. But look, hopefully they can work it out and stay married.
Kate Casey
But I'm telling you, I'm worried for her.
Unknown
This. I'm worried for her, too. And I don't know what excuse she's going to give. And I don't know how the tree stumpers or whatever that are her hardcore fans are going to be able to explain this away as they are struggling to pay for eggs and pay for their, you know, thing.
Kate Casey
But do they care about him? They care about her, right?
Unknown
I guess they just love her anyway. But, like, we've been through this before. So, like, how do you say it's happened again? Like, what is the explanation? You got to come up with an explanation pretty soon of how you're going to rectify this. How it was a misunderstanding. I just want to hear what their response is going to be. And then from there, like, now, does this make people want to go to her, like, city, watery loft shows where she answers questions and how is she going to blame this on Margaret?
Kate Casey
If I were you got to figure out a way.
Unknown
It's Margaret. Margaret did.
Kate Casey
Margaret did this.
Unknown
It's Margaret. It's gotta be Margaret somehow had something to do with this. And Melissa and Joe, like, she can't blame the three of them.
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
How does she get out of this and still be genuine to, like, her super fans?
Kate Casey
I think she has to. If I were a publicized publicist, I'd say make a video and say, guys, you gotta help me out. Help a sister out. Come to everything that I'm doing. Come support your girl. But he cannot be in any video ever again. Like, just keep him somewhere else if you're gonna stay with him and then.
Unknown
Just say, we are talking to our accountant and our lawyers and we're.
Kate Casey
We're hoping to rectify the situation.
Unknown
Yeah, Yeah, I agree. But I just feel like that's just not her personality.
Kate Casey
No, it's not.
Unknown
So it's like it's not gonna happen.
Kate Casey
Yeah, okay.

Kate Casey
Oh, yeah. Well, tell me about this.
Unknown
Jax just did a long article. The Bravo Investigator put it together. I follow this account. Good one. On Instagram. And so he's in US Weekly. He did a big interview. This comes valet premieres like next week, I think. And as you know, he is in the process of divorcing Britney or they're close to getting divorced. They have one son who's like four. And he just talks about what we've heard that, you know, he's been drinking and doing Coke for 20 years. He did go to a rehab place in the summer and then relapsed in November in which that was when Britney according, which we'll see on the show, like has like sort of an intervention or tells the producers, like, you need to do something. And so then he goes back and then since that second time, I guess he has a hundred plus days of sobriety and he's. But he also says I'm kind of boring now. It's like, it's very hard to go to social things. I don't think I'm that fun. And I, you know, and that he is bipolar and adhd, which when, when you take. It's a more likely thing that you might have an addiction issue if you are diagnosed with those things. And so, you know, and like, very dedicated to being a good dad. And then he's like, I won't say anything bad about Britney, but she should have said we should go to counseling. And why did she want to have an. If I'm so bad, why did she want to have a kid with me, you know, two years ago or whatever, trying to get pregnant again. And, you know, I mean, she's going to prevail because we're going to see how. What a nightmare he was in the, in the episodes. But he's also, you know, if he is really sober and participating, we got to like, like that. But is that as entertaining as Jack saying, I'm the number one guy in the group and, you know, acting crazy and getting three nose jobs and stealing sunglasses on a Hawaii vacation that they were filming for the show? I don't know. But the show, I think will still be entertaining and he's got to be a part of it whether he's boring or not.
Kate Casey
Sorry, you gotta face the facts. Like your Health is more important. I remember when Bronwyn left Orange county, she said to me, because she got sober, she said, I just worry people won't think I'm fun anymore. I mean, now, years later, she'd be like, I can't believe I said that.
Unknown
Right.
Kate Casey
I think that's probably a very real answer. That response that he gave, like, I'm boring now, but it's not fun to see someone spiraling, and especially when they're a dad, I don't find that very entertaining.
Unknown
I just want to say, as someone who does enjoy cocktails and on occasion, I'd be at a party where I wasn't drinking for whatever reason. You know, if I drove, I have something else to do, and I can't stay for five hours. Like, if I'm boozing, I'm like, oh, my God. We start the night started at 5. We were in the Uber at 10:20. Where did the time go? Well, the time went because you had four drinks.
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
And dinner and, you know, but when everybody else is drinking and you're not, a four and a half hour dinner is fucking hell. And I'm. I just need to be honest about that.
Kate Casey
Pregnant almost for nine, 10 years straight. So I. I can say that it is possible because I feel like through those years, I.
Unknown
But also, you were not drinking at being three and four kids to go be with adults, so you probably loved it.
Kate Casey
Probably. Yeah.
Unknown
But I'm saying as now as someone that's just like, if you're around with people, it's a challenge. I give it to the people that are doing sobriety or going on a hard 75 or whatever. Like, you can do a meal for like two hours or something. But I'm saying, like, hang out for hours on end and want to go late. I think it's very challenging. And when you, you know. So I think that's what he was like, sort of referring to like, and having the bar and whatever.
Kate Casey
Well, I think it's so wrapped up in his identity.
Unknown
And then there's a. In a moment, I guess, in the preview where she finds a thong. And he was like, yeah. At the time I was getting with girls. But that thong is from when we did a bark of like a paid bar crawl and some. Somebody gave me a thong.
Kate Casey
Okay. Whatever. Yeah, okay.
Unknown
So speaking of these paid things, I just saw that Hannah from Below deck and another one of the girls from Below deck that worked on the. They now are doing their own. Come join us on a catamaran for seven days with your friends. And it's like a mini below deck with them. But then you. They're not working and they're drinking and you can party and ask them questions, I guess for seven days straight.
Kate Casey
Seven days is a long time.
Unknown
All I want to say is that, yeah, seven days is a long, long time to be on a catamaran.
Kate Casey
Wait, I feel like I get all the information I need in 25 minutes or less. So then, then you're like, what are we talking about now?
Unknown
Or just imagine being them, though, like every day. Like, okay, so in episode 12, right.
Kate Casey
Nightmare, what.
Unknown
What happened when you found the bathing suit with the skin marks? Like, how did you clean that bathing suit?
Kate Casey
I'm like, I don't even want to watch these episodes ever again.
Unknown
Yeah. Do you remember that person that, you know, tried to make out with you on the balcony? That was actually the primary, like every single qu. I guess if that's. If you're super fan, you should, you should do this. You're welcome. On promoting your thing. I'm just saying.
Kate Casey
Well, does that bother someone like Jill Zarin? Like, does she want to slam her head against the wall if she has to answer questions about, you know, season one?
Unknown
Jill Zarin wouldn't be going.
Kate Casey
No, but I'm just. For this, for these reality stars, is that torture for them?
Unknown
I just think that's where we're going with people who are no longer on these shows. It's going to be. You're going to be able to pay for their time.
Kate Casey
Something con. Yeah.
Unknown
And then, you know, and then walk.
Kate Casey
Up to the booth, talk to them. Remember that.
Unknown
Like, remember how like the girls, like, guys would go into a peep show and instead of a peep show, it's just an old house wife. Yeah. Hi.
Kate Casey
Right.
Unknown
You have three questions you could ask me. It's $20 a question.
Kate Casey
Can you imagine? Really?
Unknown
I'll do it now with the podcast. Okay, listen, let's talk about the very controversial scene. We knew this was coming. This is White Lotus. The brothers kissed.
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
Patrick Schwarzenegger is the older brother. Then there's a girl, Piper, in the middle. And then there's the 18 year old brother on White Lotus. And they hinted from the very first episode. People are like, is this gonna be an incest storyline? I thought, no, he's probably just fucking with us. Well, the two brothers get spoiler alert. Get very wasted with these two other girls. And one girl sleeps with the younger one while the younger one jerks off the older brother to completion. And we see it. I thought you Said you were watching this.
Kate Casey
No, I didn't see it. I didn't think he did that. He was jerking himself off.
Unknown
No, you didn't watch the whole thing then they had.
Kate Casey
I didn't realize that.
Unknown
Yes, they made it look like. This is dirty, everybody. They made it look like he was. Like they were on the bed next to him and he was getting turned off and pleasuring himself. But no, it was the other way around. And then they both are just acting like it didn't happen. And so there's that very controversial. Very, very. How do you let go? I want to say, like, he's gotta outdo himself. And I think there's gonna be some twists. I do think this was.
Kate Casey
Who do you think is going to be the person at the end of it? Who is the most diabolical? Because I kind of feel like it's gonna be.
Unknown
So it's gonna be a surprise.
Kate Casey
So it's like it's gonna be the manager or it's gonna be the woman who kept taking the cell phone from the dad. The Australian woman. Like, they give me the creep vibes, but, like, they're kind of lurking in the back. There's really no point of them.
Unknown
Yeah, like. Well, that's just kind of fun. It's like you can kind of guess, but it's this. It's the dark stuff, you know? So I have. I have a crazy thing, and I'm going to.
Kate Casey
I have a crazy theory, too. Okay.
Unknown
I have a crazy theory because Mike White, you know, it's such a genius. And they said that he, you know, took inspiration from Southern charm with the character of, you know, Piper. No, Tsunami of Parker Posey. Okay? Now, you know, Patrick Schwarzenegger hasn't done that much acting. And the family loved watching White Lotus. And I'm sure she picked up the phone or he told his agent, I'd like to be on White Lotus. I'm a fan of White Lotus. Okay, fine. We'll find a perfume, whatever. And they get to Mike White, and Mike White's coming up with the next thing, and he decides to do this very controversial incestual sexual situation between two brothers. Being that Patrick Schwarzenegger is the daughter of Maria Shriver, whose mother was a Kennedy, whose mother was brother and sister with John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy, who notoriously, had allegedly both slept with Marilyn Monroe and supposedly allegedly even had orgies with Marilyn Monroe, With. With other people around, they'd have orgies. That was the stories of that time. So knowing all that history and then putting him this relative of the Kennedy empire into a scene. This is my own thing that I came up with two nights ago. Yes. I think that I would not be surprised if I got Mike White in front of me if that wasn't some. That was in his head somehow in casting him coming up with it, like all this weird stuff or total coincidence.
Kate Casey
I think that although they've said that the Ravenel is inspiration from Southern Sherman. Yeah. I think the Ratliff Peterson family in Durham, North Carolina is a huge inspiration. He said the family is from Durham and the family name is Ratliff. And Ratliff was the first woman that fell down the stairs.
Unknown
Yes.
Kate Casey
That Michael Peterson may have pushed down.
Unknown
Right.
Kate Casey
So I feel like there will be a staircase in this story. And the other thing is the picture in the background always is a sign. And then that painting in the beginning of it, there are a lot of monkeys and there are a lot of shots to monkeys. So just like something having to do with a monkey and a set of staircase.
Unknown
Yes. I also love that people are like, this is why you don't go on a trip with three girls.
Kate Casey
I know.
Unknown
And I disagree. I feel like, yes, there is a thing about three. So I always remember this one time my sister was like, oh, she was picking up her daughter from a playdate. And she said. And I witnessed it. She said to the other mom, like, oh, the girls had so much fun. The next time we should invite whatever. And the three of them can play. And the mom goes, threesomes don't work with girls with playdates. No, it is not. And it was just very, like saying that. And I was like, oh, my God. But you remember seeing this, like three.
Kate Casey
But you have boys. I have four girls. I'm telling you, it is gnarly when three little girls are together. It's awful.
Unknown
Yeah. And I mean, I do think he's. I do think he's portraying this threesome friendship brilliantly with the girl who's the actress who's also paying for the trip. So she should be able to. I don't care, you know, fuck who she wants. And they should take it to the grave. Cause she paid for the trip, Sutton.
Kate Casey
Yeah, she paid for the trip.
Unknown
So, like, I love that the other girls annoyed the divorce lawyer, but, you know, but she's also like, how I can't really be pissed because, like, we're on this trip and she's picking up the bill and, you know, is it.
Kate Casey
Going to come back at all that Parker Posey and Leslie Bibbs character? Do know each other?
Unknown
Yes. Because he doesn't drop.
Kate Casey
Why would he drop that?
Unknown
Everything will be tightened up together.
Kate Casey
Okay.
Unknown
And for those that are watching the show, like, yeah. There's a moment where one of the three girls that are on the trip come up to Parker Posey, who's part of like the Duke family, like the Southern family, and was like, I met you at so and so's bridal shower, baby shower or something. And she's like, no. Was it me? No. And it also could have just been that she's just like so high on stuff she doesn't remember and she doesn't want to try to remember.
Kate Casey
So that would have been significant. That might be too easy.
Unknown
Yeah.
Kate Casey
Yeah. Maybe that's something else.
Unknown
Anyway, it's juicy. It's got us talking. Okay. This is from tmz. Kanye west is sued for copyright infringement because of his support for Nazis. Yes. All of his Nazi wearing stuff. Someone actually owns the copyright of that. Some German musician.
Kate Casey
They can all go away.
Unknown
It is so disgusting. And I just want to say that at this point, Kim, I am losing some respect for you. Like, you have got to use all your power.
Kate Casey
And I think I read that you.
Unknown
Cannot see your dad anymore.
Kate Casey
I think I read that she is here.
Unknown
Let's watch Schindler's List. Let's watch every movie. If you don't understand what it is. And your dad is sick for. For somehow thinking that this is okay. Like. Like we could. What is going on? We cannot forget about the worst thing that happened to the world in the last hundred years. Like, what is.
Kate Casey
I know.
Unknown
So. No, like it. I feel so badly. I've said that. I've said that even before this, but this wasn't one time. He's been doing this for years about Jewish people. So he is disgusting. And I would do everything it took now at this point to be like, I feel like I want my kids around.
Kate Casey
I did read that.
Unknown
That she pursuing it is somehow not pushing this agenda.
Kate Casey
Yeah. Like, do you remember too, when he had that school, like, we didn't talk enough about that.
Unknown
All the people that worked for him when he was doing his Christian concerts, all those people had to send their kids there. They had no choice. And there was like, no education.
Kate Casey
That's just. Yeah.
Unknown
Remember when Jada and Will had a school rip? Yeah.
Kate Casey
Where are those exposes?
Unknown
You know what? I just.
Kate Casey
Why isn't someone making a documentary about those stories?
Unknown
I don't know. But I have another theory. Another story that popped up as I was driving over here. It's an old, weird story. Jerry Seinfeld, you know, he. We all know he dated a 17 year old that he dated for four years, Shoshanda. And then they broke up. He dated her from, like 38 to 42 or whatever. And she was like. She was whatever. Met her senior year. I'm sure they never kissed until she was 18. Whatever. Then years later, his current wife, she had just gotten married to somebody else, had a big, fancy, fabulous wedding, country club wedding. Went on her honeymoon, went to the gym literally two weeks after the marriage and met Jerry and fell in love with him. Ended her marriage very quickly, very quickly to the first husband. And now they've been together, have three kids, been together, like 23 years. So clearly that's meant to be. Whatever. But let's just think about the parents of the first husband that Jessica married.
Kate Casey
Awful.
Unknown
Do you think that they could ever watch a Seinfeld and enjoy it?
Kate Casey
No, but they're incredibly wealthy, so I think that they're probably living the good life. So we don't even know the parents of the.
Unknown
Of her first husband.
Kate Casey
It was like theater money. Like bonkers money.
Unknown
So you know what? Maybe. Maybe he married another fabulous girl and it was a blip in their life.
Kate Casey
I think he did marry.
Unknown
So maybe they can enjoy an episode of Seinfeld. I'm just imagining if someone did this to one of my children.
Kate Casey
Mm.
Unknown
And I like. And that was my favorite show. And then I was just like, ugh, like music or whatever. When you love a song and then you realize the person's like a pedophile or disgusting person, I feel like, can you still rock out?
Kate Casey
The learning lesson is don't throw an over the top wedding. You never know what'll happen.
Unknown
Right.
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
Oh, you were talking about Chris Humphries the other day. Oh.
Kate Casey
So Graydon Carter, who was the editor of Vanity Fair, wrote this new book out when the Going Was Good. And in it, he talks about how a staff member had come to him and said, you should do an article about Meghan Markle. He said, I don't know who that is. She's on suits. He said, still not reading. I don't know what you're talking about. And she said, well, she's going to marry Prince Harry. So they send the reporter out. I can remember where I was when I read the whole piece. Beautiful cover photo. And the reporter said that she seemed annoyed that the reporter kept asking questions about Prince Harry. And she had said, aren't you going to ask me about my philanthropies? And my, my charitable work. And Graydon Carter said there was a quote from him saying like, she's somehow disattached from reality. Like, why aren't you talking about me? Why are you so interested in this boyfriend of mine who happens to be a prince? And it reminded me of, why are.
Unknown
You asking about Princess Diana? Drew Barrymore? Go on.
Kate Casey
Why? Yeah, so it reminded me of when I did legal PR and I represented the law firm that was representing Chris Humphries. And he, of course, there was a 72 day divorce after their big wedding, which he of course attended. So I remember Good Morning America, I believe, booked Chris Humphries with his, I think it was like his grandmother. And he was so upset that they kept asking him questions about the divorce. And he was like, I thought you invited me here to make my, like my Rice Krispie recipe with my mom. And there is like the level of celebrity that it's like they think that they're so famous in their own right. They're like, why are you asking me about this? Was like, that's the only reason you're here. Like, that's the story we're chasing. The other stuff doesn't matter. But yeah, I love that quote from Graydon Carter was kind of funny.
Unknown
Well, Meghan Markle, there was a video with recently with Gwyneth Paltrow.
Kate Casey
I saw that. Yeah.
Unknown
And Gwyneth Paltrow is pretending to do a live and where she's pretending to read questions. We're like, didn't you have a beef with Meghan Markle? And she's like, what? Why would you think that? And they zoom over and there's Megan. So we know that Megan has a new podcast coming out called Confessions of a Female Founder.
Kate Casey
Right.
Unknown
So then she's probably got Gwyneth Paltrow, owner of Goop Got it, as her guest. And it's like, I don't know, I feel like people, it's. Who, who is she going to be interviewing? I think probably half are they going to be people that, you know, came from a knot of privileges, privilege and nepotism and everything else, but knew how to make, you know, light gold jewelry, you know, and could stack a bracelet and, you know, and they've worked hard at night because at one time their website crashed and it was hard. And we can't wait to hear these stories.
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
And. But I'm just, yeah, I'm just saying.
Kate Casey
Is, let, let me hear the story of the person that was like living on sandwiches for a year and had 30 bucks in there. You know, it would be good. That couple that just sold, what is it? The poppy drink.
Unknown
Oh, the poppy drink.
Kate Casey
That would be a good.
Unknown
Bought this poppy drink, which was kind of interesting because this, you know, it's like a five calorie soda. And I guess Pepsi wanted to get into the business of people drinking healthier sodas, so they bought it. And probably that deal was already just, you know, inches from closing when Poppy got some bad press because for the super bowl, they sent Poppy vending machines to these big influencers. And then, you know, some angry people, whatever, started to write, like, now what are you gonna do with those vending machines? And it's such a waste. And I'm like, why don't you make them into sustainable fashion? I don't know. But like, I was like, what do you wanted them to do?
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
And they had to like apologize or say, no, we are going to pick up the vending machine. I don't even know. But they got this bad press probably going, oh my God, we have to act concerned about this. Or maybe they were concerned and thinking some angry tweets was going to make their pot, their 10 million dollar, whatever, billion dollar poppy Pepsi deal go away. But it didn't, it didn't. It didn't matter that some people were mad on Tick Tock about the, you know.
Kate Casey
Yeah, but I think it was like a couple that bet on this and they had like $30,000 that they took out to invest. Like, that's a great story.
Heather McDonald
Right?
Unknown
But I feel that's a great story. I. I don't know. I feel like we've heard a lot of these. Like, of course they'll have the Spanx girl.
Kate Casey
Right?
Unknown
Or so, you know, I'm sure she'll get Kim on there and it's fine, you know, like, let her do what she has to do. The husband is not gonna. The husband, the prince is not making money. So it's like his ideas for podcasts were to go. And he was like, I have this idea. I'd like to interview Putin and Trump and say, why are you a sociopath? That I'm not. Like, it was like the weirdest ideas ever.
Kate Casey
He should stick to what he's good at. And I.
Unknown
What is he good at?
Kate Casey
Shaking hands and holding babies.
Unknown
I know, but there's no point of that now that he's in Santa Barbara.
Kate Casey
I feel like you hire him for an event and he walks through, you.
Unknown
Know, a chain of people at Montecito.
Kate Casey
Exactly. That's what he's good at he makes people.
Unknown
I mean, he can't run for, like, mayor because he's not an American citizen.
Kate Casey
Yeah, I don't think he would care.
Unknown
Or I guess he could. He just couldn't run for president.
Kate Casey
I honestly think he likes just, like, piddling around in the garden.
Unknown
Yeah, I don't think. I mean, I don't think he has a huge work ethic, which is fine as long as he supports her. Let her be the breadwinner. Let people. Let them. I think he has set them.
Kate Casey
I think he said that you want.
Unknown
To watch Meghan Markle's Make a Rainbow out of Fruit, then don't. But if you, if, if your best friend does let them. If your best friend wants to listen to the owner of Spanx, be interviewed for the umpteenth time on a podcast by Jay Shetty, me or Meghan Markle. Let them. Let them.
Kate Casey
Do you think that Sarah Blakely is ever, like, I don't know how many more podcasts I can do to talk about this.
Unknown
I don't know how many more times I could talk about the fact that I had to wear a pair of white pants one day and cut the feet off of my nylon.
Kate Casey
Did you ever see the sneakers she made with the heel?
Unknown
No, but I guess what, I think I've heard about it.
Kate Casey
You need to look at it. You know how you go to Target and you just took a picture of. It was just totally a Sister Wives knockoff.
Unknown
Yeah.
Kate Casey
I beg of you to look at the sneaker with a heel.
Unknown
Okay.
Kate Casey
I beg of you.
Unknown
Okay, okay. Remy Bader, who is this huge, very popular now, I feel bad I said the word huge, but she was a very popular, you know, salt of the earth. Everyone loved her. Very pretty, plus size influencer who was all about, you know, I like that. You know, I like my body. I might know size 2 or whatever. Just like, oh, by the way, she's skinny now, too. What's her name? Meghan Trainor. She's. She's gone on the Ozempic train as well. Anyway, this girl, I think maybe dabbled in the Ozempic, but then she now has admitted that she really got the bod by going old fashioned. Carney Wilson, you know, gastric bypass, whatever.
Kate Casey
Oh, okay.
Unknown
Or sleeve or whatever it is. Which, again, thanks for being honest. It's there. Take it. You're happy. Who cares? So it's very interesting, like, because we have the ability through surgery or a lot less expensive, you know, we can be. We can be thin. People can be thin. That were Never thin before. And the thin people or the people that, that are angry that they're losing their, their plus size sisters, whatever you, you got, you're not going to win this fight. If you can't beat him, join them and get a needle out and go for it. I don't know.
Kate Casey
Also like, don't.
Unknown
Who cares?
Kate Casey
I just want everyone to be healthy.
Unknown
Whatever cares, whatever that is. If, and if you don't want to go on it because you don't want to take anything, then that's fine too. Like, it's like, who cares? Yeah. But anyway, so it wasn't just Ozempic though. But the thing about that thing that always intrigued me back from like watching Oprah is the way that old school would work. Maybe they've changed. It is so your stomach would shrink so you couldn't eat as much. Much like Ozempic where you just weren't like hungry. But with certain people, all of a sudden now they're thin and they're attractive and they're getting attention. But also now they're at bars and then they would drink and then they would get really drunk really fast and they're getting attention. So they would become. I remember watching Oprah on this. They became extremely promiscuous because they were getting attention. They had a skinny body and then also they were getting wasted off of like two drinks because they're sorry because their stomach has shrunk so much.
Kate Casey
Can't we have anything?
Unknown
So like, you just have to be careful. I'm just saying just have to be careful about this. And then a lot of people in.
Kate Casey
The doctor's office, you might be a little bit promiscuous.
Unknown
Well, I mean, you're, it's, it's a whole nother life. I mean, they're. Now people are being really honest. Like, oh my God, like people treat me differently. And you know, I can get free dry cleaning now. I can flirt. Like I have. I. People open the door for me. I mean, it's true. It's like, it's very interesting.
Kate Casey
I never understood people that berated other people for going on those. Because for somebody who can't lose weight, that food noise is awful. Like it's a consistent paralyzing thing. So why wouldn't you want someone to be free of that?
Unknown
It's the greatest thing that I think has come around since the iPhone.
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
These things.
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
Providing we don't all realize it's like flowers for Algernon. And then all of a sudden we're £700 and it does like a reverse effect.
Kate Casey
Right.
Unknown
But I. For what it's. They've been around longer than we think. There's a lot of people that were on the, on them on the DL for like seven, eight years that are still doing great. That microdose that go. That do it for a couple months, then go off for a year and a half, then go on a couple months and are fine. Some people that can afford to stay on a very low dose forever and like, they're, they're maintaining their weight and it's working for them and we're not taking it from diabetics anymore. They've figured out a way and like, it'll be really interesting to see, like, you know, if. If as a country enough people go on it and we actually get to a place that there isn't such an obesity problem, that then actually health care and everything can like catch up to it and everybody can be better.
Kate Casey
So less strain on the health care.
Unknown
Yeah. But it's just interesting that the, this invention came so quickly after the push for plus size body positivity and people that wrote songs. I ain't no size too. She's thin. You know, Kelly Clarkson's Thin Lizzo Thin. These people that we identified as like, plus size fabulous. That girl next door, you can relate, you know, and then people that, that sometimes I get mad about it sometimes it's. It's the, the people that are like, you know, I don't know, it's just, it's just an interesting thing. And I'm all, I'm all for it, Nikki. People sent this to me because they're like, didn't she say this a couple years ago? Yes. Nikki was on Fallon or something and she said what I said a couple years ago. The people that are mad are the ones that are naturally thin. And this was something that they could, that they could easily do. And now their friend who is, you know, always had a gorgeous face, is now also thin. I know. It's like, they're like, it's my special power. Right. I just want to say, my one friend who said this to me, honestly, even once I said this two years ago, she goes, yeah, I'm that person. I'm that skinny bitch that's pissed. I go, why are you pissed? She goes, because it was the one thing that came easy to me. She's like, what if all of a sudden I could. I can't just take a shot and sing like Adele, right? So she. And she was joking, but I was like, I do think that's in the mind of some people of that. The ones that were bitching. But I also feel like the people that were bitching were the ones that didn't want to go on it, that were seeing their friends lose weight and they were like, wait, I thought we were all going to be like this size together. And it's just such a weird thing. Everyone just needs to be healthy.
Kate Casey
The first season of Real Housewives of Orange County.
Unknown
Yeah.
Kate Casey
When Vicky was horrified when Lori started dating George because then she said so.
Unknown
Jealous. Yes.
Kate Casey
Or if, like Sutton, they hired somebody on the cast who had equal, if not more money. Are you really happy for someone else when someone else has all that money?
Unknown
Like people thought that. I remember talking about classic cases of OC that was the whole thing. When Shannon Beador showed up and had a very nice house comparable to Heather Dubrow's.
Kate Casey
Same neighborhood.
Unknown
Do you? Yeah. Are you going to. Is Heather to bro. Not going to like her? And I don't think Heather really cared. But like, that was like, let's see if we can get under someone's skin.
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
You know, that's similar, you know, to whatever. How are you feeling about the Baldwins? You know, his money, his. His trailer. The trailer for the Rust movie is coming out.
Kate Casey
Oh, wow.
Unknown
The movie is coming out of Alec Baldwin.
Kate Casey
I have no intention ever seen that movie. But I have subjected myself to watching episodes of that show.
Unknown
The Baldwins and the Daughters featured a lot. The 12 year old.
Kate Casey
I mean, clearly they're hoping to make her a star.
Unknown
Right.
Kate Casey
She's probably gonna have a YouTube or something deal.
Unknown
Yeah.
Kate Casey
Ellaria Hilary really believes herself to be a major movie star in the making. And he's a curmudgeon and I think he feels like he owes her because she stood by him all this time. But I mean, she's so predominant in the show and you're just sort of like, it would be like a show about Kris Humphries. You're like, why? This is not what we signed up for. We wanna see Kim's life. We don't wanna see this guy's life. It's the same thing, right? Too much.
Unknown
I've only really watched clips. I'll be honest. I just don't care. But when I see a clip together, I'm kind of. I am fascinated by the whole thing and where it's going.
Kate Casey
Well, watch the red carpet. Clip clips.
Unknown
Talk about the red carpet thing of her being like, no, when I'm talking, you're not talking. When I'm talking, you're not talking, but I kind of respect that. Now they've kind of made fun of it themselves. They're doing, like, videos where they're mouthing themselves and they're sort of like. So I'm like, well, then now I feel like, hey, if they can make fun of it and roll with it, then I think that's a pretty good sign that maybe they can become likable. But she's still a liar who pretended to be smart.
Kate Casey
I don't take it as they're like, it's a joke. I think she absolutely hates him. And I think she's like, I should be TV star. Why is this not happening? Remember he threw fits with paparazzi, took his picture, and then he starts dating her, and then all of a sudden, they're showing the. The nursery for the new baby, and she's got a role as a correspondent on Access Hollywood or something. And you're like, wait, I'm sorry, what now? Right? So, yeah, it's weird.
Unknown
It is.
Kate Casey
By the way, did you. You didn't watch the show that much, but do you remember that when the whole Spanish Gate happened, that they took pictures of them by horses, like, in their backyard?
Unknown
No.
Kate Casey
Well, I do. And it was like the first photos of, you know, Hilaria and Alec. And when you watch the show, you realize that there was no way a photographer could ever get access to their backyard. Like, they're very much in. In bed with photographers setting stuff up.
Unknown
Well, I think he's. He's been in the business long enough that, like, yeah, they probably have a good team. That's that, you know, instructs them to say what to do or whatever.
Kate Casey
Yeah.
Unknown
Kate, thank you so much for coming on. Tell everybody where they can catch all your good shows and what you think we should be watching this week.
Kate Casey
Okay. Reality life with KKC podcast. Sign up for my what to Watch list. I tell you what to watch in unscripted TV. So reality shows, documentaries. Go to katecasey.substack.com and I have a Facebook group and bonus episodes this week.

So that's definitely one to watch.
Unknown
That's Netflix.
Kate Casey
That's Netflix. I'll tell you what is coming down the pipeline, which you are going to lose your mind over.
Unknown
Okay.
Kate Casey
It's the story of Piper raquel. Remember the YouTube influencer. And she has this diabolical mom who was sort of a manager for a group of kids.
Unknown
Oh, yes, I do remember that.
Kate Casey
It's the whole backstory on that. Niles Cappello, who's a great executive producer, has been working that since 2018. And all of these kids are coming forward now and talking about what was really happening behind the scenes.
Unknown
And do you know what? That's on?
Kate Casey
That's on April 9th. And I have never seen my teenage daughter get more excited about something because.
Unknown
She knows the story.
Kate Casey
We watched reality shows all these years, but our kids like your kids. They know all the YouTube people.

Oh.
Kate Casey
So for them, that's like, it's like their super bowl.
Unknown
And. Okay, so do you know what network that is?
