Woo woo. Heather McDonald, juicy scoop. Hello and welcome to Juicy Scoop. Happy Thanksgiving. Okay, there's some hot topic update. I'm sure you know what I'm going to get into and then I have a great interview. I'm excited to share with all of you. So first of all, you've now heard the news. Maybe you haven't. That's why you're here on Juicy Scoop. Vanderpump announced that it is coming back but with an all new cast. Everybody, nobody that we know. I had heard so many things leading up to this. I had heard that they were meeting with new people. I was at Vanderpump and a bartender told me I'm auditioning for it. I also heard that they were doing filming with new people but with James Kennedy. However, James Kennedy along with Ariana and Lala and Sheena. And many people posted within hours of the news that they are grateful for Vanderpump Rules. They're excited for the next chapter. They had slideshows of their favorite photos and videos from the last decade or however long they were on. I may or may not have knowledge that this was coming and I think that was a fair thing to do as producers to let these icons of Vanderpump Rules know that this announcement was coming so that they could not be blindsided. Gather their photos and whatever together so that their announcement can be the way they want it to be. And so this will be interesting. I mean, this is what we have complained about, that it has changed. They're not still waiters. A lot of people say how we don't like the new Rooney. How could the new Vanderpump keep our interest? I think this is a genius move on the side of the producers because so many of them are friends with the Valley cast. Jax and Britney have broken up. That's going to be very juicy to watch. It's sad, but it's going to be super intriguing. People like these shows because they can relate. They can relate to parenting, they can relate to co parenting, they can relate to breakups and relationships changing. And the Valley has been so open and honest about that. We like their new friends that we are not familiar with. Kristin Doute just announced she's pregnant. She's engaged and she's pregnant. And good for Kristin Doute. She was fired along with Stassi and Jackson, Britney a few years ago. Stassi's off doing great on her own, doing her own thing. She's got her own show coming out. She's going to be on the Vanderpump Villa as well. And then now Kristen is really on the show that is probably the most anticipated Bravo show this year, the Valley. And Britney and Stassi and Lala are really great friends. They're mom friends as well as being old friends. Their kids go to the same school. There's going to be activities and things. I'm sure they're making many appearances also. This means for the Valley producers that they're not probably gonna be playing hardball about, hey, Tom Schwartz, wanna come to this party over at Jack's condo or do you wanna come to Cruz's fourth birthday party? We'll pay you this amount. They wanna stay in it and they really are friends. Schwartz's condo is very close to Jack's, which is very close in the Valley to his restaurant and also to Britney and Cruz's house now. So I think it was a brilliant move on the producers. I don't think they were, you know, they knew this was going to be an issue. We saw the way it ended. We knew that real friendships were not what they once were. Many of these players were not hanging out with each other anymore and really didn't want to like Ariana and Tom Sandoval. So I think we're going to see many of them make appearances. And then as that show grows, it could really evolve into something really juicy. In the meantime, I wish them all the best with all their endeavors. You know, they are all famous. They all have huge followings and different businesses and streams of income. So it will be a really interesting thing to see what happens with Bravo because as I said, it looks like that mini fan fest was not a huge hit. And will BravoCon happen in September or next year? Whenever? Will it happen? Will it happen in Vegas? If we don't have the. If we don't have New Jersey happening with those icons so that we can actually be interested in the panels. If they just come on and tell about the old shit that they've been saying at every city winery and a live show, I don't think that's that interesting. It's only gonna be interesting because we're watching it. So if we don't have New Jersey to talk about, the OGs of Rony to talk about, I don't know, is there enough? And now the Vanderpump kids aren't gonna be there. I still call them kids. And if they're only one season in, I don't know how super interested we're gonna be. I mean, it took us years to get to know the cast. But as far as the new cast, I wish them the best. I think this is kind of exciting. What made Vanderpump so relatable was these people were real friends. They were really struggling actors. They said yes to this reality show, hoping that it would lead to bigger things. And you know what it did? It really did. And. But that's what the LA life was like 15 years ago. Does it still reflect that with social media and ways for people to instantly kind of become famous via TikTok or Instagram? I don't know. But I think it's a really smart move. And for the production company of both the Valley and Vanderpump Rules and for Lisa Vanderpump. And so let's see, you know, let's see what happens. You know, DJ DJ James Kennedy has A huge career, already doing really well with DJing. So there could be almost little mini reality shows if not on TV, on different, you know, YouTube or whatever where we really, where these people kind of put their own production companies together and follow their own lives and their own friends. And so I'm really, I'm excited to see where all of this goes. All right, you guys, I want to remind you that a lot of people will say, gosh, you know, I wish I could listen to Juicy Scoop without ads. You can if you're listening to this on Apple. That is what the Apple subscription is for. You will get all the Tuesday and Thursday shows ad free as well as all of the back episodes of the Tuesdays and Thursday show. That is different. Apple subscription offers you that and Patreon offers you more of a community in talking and sharing, which is even going to get bigger. So those are the, those are the differences and a lot of people belong to both for those reasons. So I wanted to explain that. And you just do that Apple subscription, you'll get this whole thing ad free. And now I am going to share something that was shared on my Friday paid platform, which I will share now. It got a lot of conversation going. It was really positive for the two interview guests that were part of it, Dr. Drew and Gage Edward. And people could relate to it as far as co parenting, past relationships, moving forward, healing oneself. But also when there's been many years of where you've been portrayed or discussed on a big public platform and you haven't responded until now, I think that was really important and I think it's going really well. And you probably will have some questions after this. And I've been receiving the questions since I posted it on Friday's Patreon and I will be addressing those questions and curiosities on tomorrow's Patreon, which you can get@heathermcdonald.net so there you go. Have a great Thanksgiving. And here is my interview with Dr. Drupinski and Gage Edward. Hello and welcome to Juicy Scoop. Well, this is going to be a real juicy one. It's something that we've talked a lot about on the show. You hear a lot of people talk about narcissism and how many people are narcissistic. We hear they talk about it on reality shows everywhere and, and also how hard it might be if you are co parenting with who you believe might have be a narcissist or at least have many of the traits. So I am here with my friend of 15 years, Gage Edwards, who he is a father and he is, you know, co parenting, which anyone knows is never even the best situation. It's not necessarily easy. And then we're also here with my dear friend Dr. Drew, who has written a book on narcissism. That book came out about 15 years ago too, right?
