Natalie
Well, that's a crazy week lined up. But we had a crazy weekend this past weekend.
Nick
Yeah, we went to Las Vegas just for one night because that's honestly all you really need to go to Vegas for one night, in and out. I don't. I don't know what. What psychopaths go for more than 24 hours, but you can only go for one night. We had a really good time. We. We were brought out by our friends at Netflix. They hosted us, generously hosted us as they had the. The fight of the decade, as it was named. Mellow versus Crawford, Canelo versus Crawford. We're not necessarily. I've never been to, like, a. A fight match before. As a sports fan in general, I wanted to go it of fun, a lot of cool energy. Didn't know it was Mexican Independence Day. Canelo is from Mexico, so obviously a lot of his fans were there in support of him. Very like, just electric crowd. Crawford, he won. So congratulations, Mr. Omaha, Nebraska. He. But also, like, these were two undefeated fighters. It was certainly epic. A lot of celebrities were out. We got to see some really. I got to shake the hand of Michael Irvin, which was kind of fun. Sasha Leonard, I think we noticed each other. I was gonna go say hi to her, and then I didn't.
Natalie
I pitched Adam Brody to come on the show.
Nick
Yeah, we pitched Adam Brody.
Natalie
Love that. I talked to Josh Duhamel for some time.
Nick
Talk to Josh Duhamel? Yeah. About having kids.
Natalie
Yep. It was honestly. And not. Listen, I have also never been to a fight before, and I've also. I feel like maybe we. We watched like, the Jake Paul, Mike Tyson one, because it's like, Mike Tyson iconic. You know, we watched it.
Nick
He was also there.
Natalie
But this was, like, really cool. And I feel like it's gonna be. Yeah. One of the fights that's talked about. You know, you hear about, like, Floyd Mayweather and, like, all of these, like, really great boxers and, like, like, you hear about these iconic fights, like, years and years, decades later. So I'm like, oh, I wonder if this will be one of those fights and we'll be able to tell River. Like, we were there. We were there, we were there. And listen, if you give me somebody to root for, I will be rooting. And I picked Crawford, and I was so into it, and I was, like, yelling at people to sit down and it was fun. I had a lot of fun.
Justin
I'm curious, what is, like, the setup when you go to one of these things, like, are you guys, like, in a section with Netflix? Is it like you go to a box?
Nick
Well, yeah, Netflix hosted it, so. And it was at the Allegiant Stadium, like the. The Las Vegas Raiders new stadium. So that was pretty cool. I'd never been inside that stadium before. Yeah, I mean, they had a section before the fight because obviously, like, for, like, a. Like, a concert. For those of you who've never been to, like, a fight, they have. You know, you go to a concert, they have, like, aspiring artists opening up for, like, the headline guests. So it's like, it's usually, like, a crowd with, like, as much smaller crowds. The fights will start hours before the main event, so to speak.
Natalie
So at 6. And then Canelo and Crawford didn't fight till 9.
Nick
So while we were there, yeah, we were in a section that was, like, hosted by Netflix. The CEO of Netflix was there. You know, a lot of our fancy people. Our friend Peter Schrager, friend of show, was there as well. Got to see him. So, yeah, we just hung out.
Natalie
They had caviar on chicken fingers.
Nick
They did. They had.
Justin
I was gonna ask.
Unknown Female Guest
I manifested that one for you.
Justin
I was like, is it like, the US Open? Like, are we getting boxes?
Unknown Female Guest
You didn't try it.
Natalie
I had the chicken.
Lisa Traeger
Natalie.
Natalie
I skipped over the cav.
Mary
Natalie.
Unknown Female Guest
That's when you take it for us.
Mary
You went straight for the chicken fingers.
Natalie
Although I will say I did yell at a man before. It was, like, one of the early fights, and we were like, let's just go ahead and get our seats. So we went down, and Netflix had, I guess, like, you know, like, floor seats or whatever was, I guess, necessarily like the Pit. And so, you know, front row is, like, Charlize Theron and Mike Tyson and all those. We were row nine, and, like, we were row nines. We were a couple rows back. Very good, but still really good. And then, like, four rows back from us was this man and his son. His son was, like, 25, and Nick was taking a video of something, and he was like. So Nick was, like, standing, recording. And the guy. For, like, a second, and the guy was like, hey, hey, sit down. I, I. And so I turned around, I was like, he's just video. Like, they have screens everywhere. So I was like, he's just videoing. Sit down a second. And he was like, I can't see. And I was like, look at the screen. You. Like, that's what hap. You know, when someone's standing, you can't watch right there. So you look at the screen, and then when they sit down, you look back at. You know, it's just like. And he was like, no, I like it live. And I was like, well, then get better seats. You know, like, if you don't want. Get front row, sir. If you don't want anyone standing in front of you, you can't yell at everyone.
Nick
It was an Irish fighter. He was rooting from. He was from Ireland, so support his boy. But then later, that fight in the main event, the people right in front of us were standing up in front of Natalie, who had to ask them to sit down. And then Natalie turned around and apologized to the man.
Natalie
I did.
Nick
That she was getting a little sassy with. So, you know, is this humans being humans, you know?
Unknown Female Guest
So you guys did look really hot. I was gonna comment from the Vile Files account to say mommy and daddy, but I don't know if that was appropriate.
Nick
You should have.
Natalie
Totally appropriate, for sure.
Mary
I think it would have been really funny.
Natalie
Would have loved.
Nick
And we gambled a little bit, Lost a thousand dollars. See, we have this rule that, you know, I'll gamble a few bucks, then if I win, Natalie gets a purse. I didn't win.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah.
Natalie
And they kept being like, all in. All in. I'm like, whoa, let's go slow. Let's lose it all quickly.
Justin
He said, and I'll pick with my eyes closed.
Nick
I won 500 bucks, like, in the first 10 minutes, like, of gambling. And then I stopped, and then, you know, and then I came back and then lost it all.
Justin
What are we playing?
Nick
Blackjack. Yeah.
Justin
There's no game called crabs.
Nick
It's not crabs.
Mary
It's crabs.
Lisa Traeger
Craps.
Natalie
Craps.
Mary
Is it not?
Natalie
It's not crabs.
Mary
It's craps with a p. I thought people just had a lisp.
Natalie
No, just me. It was fun. We were playing blackjack. That was the only thing we played. Well, I didn't play. Nick played. I don't really. You know, I don't understand numbers.
Lisa Traeger
So you said.
Natalie
I just watched Stay.
Justin
Well, that sounds like a lot of fun.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah.
Mary
I've never been to Vegas.
Nick
Yeah. Thanks for treating us right. Netflix. You know, we appreciate the invite. Who else did we see? Did we see anyone else?
Natalie
We saw James Harden and Russell Westbrook.
Nick
We did.
Natalie
Oh, Angel Reese.
Nick
Yeah, Saw Angel Reese.
Mary
Oh, my God. My girl, Angel Reese.
Nick
She was right behind us walking out of the fight.
Mary
Oh, my God. You should have been like, I stand with you and not the Chicago sky organization front of house.
Natalie
I do feel like I am.
Nick
I'm not sure. I don't. I don't know.
Natalie
Clark and I feel like they're kind of against each other.
Nick
I'm team everybody. I'm team Good rival.
Mary
I feel like. Well, her and Caitlin Clark are Good rivals. What's happening with Angel Reese is basically like the Chicago sky front of house, like, keeps firing everybody. And everyone's like, you guys suck famously. Everyone knows that. And then Angel Reese was like, yeah. I mean, she was in an interview and they would, like, asked her about the front of house, and she was like, yeah, I mean, there's a lot.
Nick
Going on front of house. What do you mean? Mean? What is that?
Mary
Like, they're like, organization. The front office, like, whatever. The front office, whatever.
Nick
Gotcha.
Mary
And the front office. And she was kind of just like, yeah, there's a lot going on. It's like a little chaotic. I hope, like, we can figure stuff out. And then the front office was like, find her and wouldn't suspended her for a game. And everyone was like, bro. So she.
Natalie
She did not look down on the dump at the fight. She looked.
Nick
She looked fabulous.
Natalie
Stunning.
Nick
Yeah. Green Bay packers are two now. For anyone who cares, I think they're really, really good. You Chicago Bears fans. What a bummer.
Natalie
Do they suck?
Nick
Well, they're. They're famous for winning the off season and losing the regular season. They're 0 and 2. Their new coach used to be the offensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions, who the packers recently beat up on pretty bad. And then in week two, the Lions embarrassed the Chicago Bears and their new coach, formerly their offensive coordinator and their savior, Caleb Williams, kind of sucks. Anyway, very exciting for me, Packer fans. Not so exciting for the Bears fans out there, but another week of football in the books. Well, coming up, what. Releasing October 1st. Another season of Love is Blind. This time they're out of Denver. What cities have we done for Love is Blind? We had. What was the first city? Did they even do a city in the first season or was it random?
Justin
Atlanta was season one. Chicago, season two, Dallas, season three, Seattle, season four, Houston, season five, Charlotte, North Carolina, season six, D.C. season seven. And then Minneapolis, Minnesota was last season.
Nick
Okay. Minneapolis was a little Midwest.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah.
Mary
It was a little boring. Hopefully the people of Denver.
Nick
Hopefully the people of Denver. A little more toxic. Hard to go. I mean, they have a whole. They've released the whole cast as a bunch of people, half of which we'll probably never see on the show.
Natalie
I mean, I love when they're still in the pods and getting to know everyone and their conversations that they have. Yeah, I do. Yeah, I do love that part because I like them getting to know each other and the love triangles that form. What's your favorite part? Yes, I feel like my favorite part is the. When they Go on the honeymoon. And then it's like, oh, let me see the person that I almost picked for the first time.
Nick
And, like, that is a fun part.
Natalie
Are they better looking than the person that I pick? I feel like it's always, like, a little bit that that episode is always my favorite. The one where, like, everybody comes back together. Yeah.
Nick
Apparently there's a guy who admits to eating his boogers on this season.
Natalie
So, yeah, I think. What's his name? Edmund.
Justin
I think Edmund.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah.
Natalie
They released that video of them introducing themselves, and he did say that. A fun fact. Fun fact about him is that he eats his boogers.
Justin
A little more concerned for the women.
Natalie
Yeah.
Nick
Why?
Mary
I don't use a 10, but he eats his boogers.
Justin
Like, these odds.
Unknown Female Guest
I think they all eat them. He just admitted it. It made it.
Natalie
Speak for yourself, please.
Nick
I mean, I'll pick my nose, but eating. I haven't done that since I was 6.
Unknown Female Guest
I feel like Natalie's told me you flick your boogers on a wall or something.
Nick
That's not the same as eating them.
Mary
It's also one thing to do it in private, but to say it like, that's just something I need to know about you.
Natalie
It's not one thing to do it in private.
Nick
It's.
Natalie
Both are foul.
Mary
Well, both are foul, but I would rather not know.
Justin
Like, it's not an icebreaker. You know what I mean? Like, it's not giving, like, PSA where, like, the girl's going to be like, oh, my God, you do that, too?
Mary
Yeah, I'm like, it's giving Fregley from D Evil Winter.
Natalie
Not relatable.
Justin
Yeah, it's just kind of gross, you know?
Nick
Well, he still deserves love.
Justin
And then we had a. We had a British man in there, right? It was Dayo, I think. British.
Mary
British in Denver.
Justin
He's going to get a lot of hits just for that accent.
Nick
Well, that. That season kicks off October 1st. We'll certainly be covering it and talking all about it when it kicks off. Dakota, the ex of our new Bachelorette, Taylor Frankie Paul, has spoken out and he has. Has been in our comments verifying that he has not been trying to get on the show and he will not appear on the next season of the Bachelorette, which is probably. It's probably the right thing.
Natalie
Definitely for the best.
Nick
But he also seems to be at least taking it in stride, having some fun online about his former partner now being the new lead of Bachelor Nation. So what did he. What did he write here? What was this video?
Natalie
Oh, he did the Same.
Nick
No, he did the same thing. So maybe he's gonna be the Bachelor.
Natalie
Good for him. Yeah, that's a good way to go about it.
Nick
He.
Natalie
He captioned that. Is this how it works to be the next Bachelor? It's a joke. Everyone relax. That being said, I am happy for Tay, and I hope she finds happiness no matter what.
Nick
No, that was very nice of him.
Mary
And his emoji use was sweet. It was the heart with little tape over it and hands.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah.
Natalie
A healed heart.
Mary
A healed heart. I think it's fun. I still think he's gonna be on the season of Bachelor. You don't think so?
Nick
I mean, there might be, like, a cameo of some kind. I. I still doubt it, because, like, unless you are bringing them on to pursue Taylor, I think there's too much sensitivity around that relationship. If you're. You know, it's not. You're not gonna, like, bring him on as, like, to get his approval. To get his approval or his opinion. I think there are still feelings there that are very raw. And so if you're gonna. Because let's be honest, bringing him on is going to mess with Taylor's experience. And that's not to say that the producers of the show don't always mess with the lead's experience. For the sake of good tv, the juice needs to be worth the squeeze. Right. So if he's not showing up to at least pursue her or, you know, profess his love and. And. And ask for, like, another chance. Yeah. Just to come on and what, like, awkwardly, you know, bring the kids or whatever, like, that's. That's not worth making her experience less enjoyable and getting in her head and, you know, if he's not going to show up to say, I love you and how can we make this work? And, you know, if he's not willing to do that, there's no point in bringing him on.
Unknown Female Guest
That's a good point. Considering Jen's season. The guy that came back was a dud, Right. He was on one episode. Like, it was a cool clip, but, like, other than that, he didn't even get a rose. He was sent home. So, like, what was the point?
Justin
A cool teaser. More so than it was a cool clip.
Unknown Female Guest
That's the thing. Like, it was.
Nick
Yeah. And I. Again, I think if they do that, then that's just lazy producing by the Bachelors. I mean, this. Like, sometimes they're working with nothing. They don't have a lot of entertaining people. But again, if you're going to cast Taylor, Frankie, Paul, like, you Already have a head start. Make sure you cast good men that are willing to pursue Taylor. Taylor, with her dynamic personality, should help deliver plenty of drama. You're going to have be plenty of men who are going to want to pursue her, who are going to want to. Who are going to fall for her.
Natalie
I've also seen a lot of discourse online about, like, leaving your kids for 10 weeks to film a reality TV show is trying to shame her. And while I think the Bachelor is a lot different than Love island, just because I think Taylor will, she's able to ask for things right. Like, she's a priority. So she's able to be like, yeah, I'll do this if you hire a nanny and you bring my kids and my kids are able to be with me all the time. You know, like, she can negotiate whatever she wants with her children. And I think it's just so bizarre that, like, women are trying to come for these other women while it's like, if this was a man, like, they wouldn't be, you know, it wouldn't be the same conversation. There wouldn't be, like, maturing is realizing single dads, like, would leave their kids to go find love. It's like, that just wouldn't ever be a post. But it's like, I've seen so many women being like, taylor's a bad mom. She's leaving her kids to go find love. It's not worth it.
Justin
Like, yeah, she also has her phone. I'm like, I'm sure she has her family that also helps out with the kids. She's got her co parents. Like, I'm like, it's not like these kids are being left on their own for this experience.
Unknown Female Guest
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Revelation. Dakota's for sure in the season. He's going to be at the family, like, hometowns.
Natalie
No, no, they don't have daddy's exes.
Unknown Female Guest
Yeah, but they meet her family, don't they?
Nick
Yeah, he's not her family.
Natalie
She has a mom and a stepdad and sister.
Unknown Female Guest
Like, but he has to be one of them.
Nick
I thought he has to be one of them.
Justin
That's so weird.
Natalie
I don't think he is.
Nick
Like, you're not. You're not giving Taylor a fair chance at finding love. I mean, again, like, it's already. It's already an inauthentic process. Whatever you're feeling in that world, it's hard to trust those feelings because it's a manufactured environment with the stakes being raised. So you really have to give your lead a chance to, like, really discover their feelings. And if you're constantly distracted, I mean, there's. We all love drama. But again, if Dakota is not willing to say, give me another chance. I love you, whatever I have to do to, like, sit, you know, bring our family back together, if he's willing to do that and he really believes it and he stands by it, by all means, like, that's part of her story. But just to, like, bring him on, to awkwardly be there only to make Taylor feel uncomfortable in the men that she's pursuing is not it.
Natalie
Or it would be just like she would go back to him for, like, comfort reasons. You know, it's like if he showed up and he's the only one that she knows out of all these men, it would kind of give a little. Like, Rachel and Clayton, like, perfect match, you know, like, they're in this environment. They don't know anyone else. They have each other. They kind of like just fall into each other's lap because they're like, oh, this is what's comfortable and this is what I know best. So it's not really giving her a fair.
Unknown Female Guest
I agree. I agree. I was thinking more like, like, I'm a mother and I have a kid, and this is the person that I'm always going to be attached to, like, co parenting with. And it seems like Dakota's supportive. So I don't know, Maybe I'm the bad person here.
Natalie
No, no, no, no.
Nick
Listen, you know, it's no bad idea in brainstorming, Justin.
Justin
We're just, you know, it makes sense with, like, how you're thinking about it.
Unknown Female Guest
Let's just say when he ends up on the season, I'm the inside source this time. Nick did it the first time.
Mary
Just said allegedly. He will be there.
Nick
Well, up next, straight from the Emmy red carpet, Cole Walliser is with us. You know him as the glambot guy. He also has beautiful flowing hair. He was live on the red carpet.

Nick
Cole, welcome to the show.
Cole Walliser
What's up guys? Thanks for having me.
Nick
Yeah, great to be with you. Very cool moment for us. I mean you're famously known as the Glambot guy. Also I like to say the guy with just amazing Gorgeous hair.
Cole Walliser
I'll take either of those descriptions.
Nick
Before we let you go, we're definitely gonna have to know your. Your hair routine. But you are obviously known as the Glambot guy. Didn't you invented the machine yourself, Right? Like, this is your baby, your invention?
Cole Walliser
Uh, no. This is a common misconception. This rig is used in food commercials. So when they see a taco break in half and the camera like whips around and it's all food, porn, sexy. That's what this system is used for. We just took that system and adapted it to shoot talent and people on the red carpet. So like a new application, but not like an invention, if that makes sense.
Nick
Oh, okay. All right. So you basically you tweaked a current invention, but you made it for the red carpets. What was, what was the first red carpet you ever did?
Cole Walliser
Ooh, the 2016 Emmys. So, like next year is gonna be 10 years.
Nick
Okay.
Natalie
Wow. What a place to start though.
Cole Walliser
Yeah, yeah. Crazy.
Nick
And how did you, how did you get that meeting? Did you get like, did you have to like pitch somebody? Like, how did you present it to be like, hey, I think this could fit on red carpets? And cap, here's some really cool moments.
Cole Walliser
It was, I came, I came in just as a director, sort of after an initial test. So there was a camera. So he used to do this like 360 camera thing. It was this giant rig, sort of like a bullet time thing. And it was really cool. But you'd have to like pull talent like off of the carpet, like to another space. It was just sort of like logistically difficult. And then they were looking for like a new technology to do something cool. And this came across their plate. They did a test and then they're like, okay, well, we need a director to direct this. We want someone that has shot Beauty, right, Because it's obviously like everybody's looking gorgeous. Someone that has worked with movement. And I directed a bunch of like dance based things early in my career. And then someone that has worked with like a listers. And at that point I directed videos for like Pink and Katy Perry and Cher and stuff. So I sort of checked all these boxes as a director and they're like, okay, like, let's meet with Cole. They brought me in, we talked about it. And then since then we've sort of been like developing and having it grow to kind of be with the thing it is today.
Nick
That's great. You've obviously like, like you mentioned have gotten to shoot some pretty much every A list, celebrity Possible. From Taylor Swift to Brad Pitt. I mean, the list goes on and on.
Natalie
You shot Nick and I. Yeah, we've done one.
Nick
I also like, it's. I find it when I, when I, when I first, when I first got to do is at the Golden Globes a few years back and I, I felt like I bombed it. Like, I felt like I was kind of like, awkward about it. I didn't know what to do. Have you. Do you have some, like, best and worst moments from celebrities who like, just couldn't quite get it right and then others who absolutely nailed it?
Cole Walliser
I definitely have some bests. I won't say there's some worse, but obviously there's a variation in how good some of these things are. Yeah, it's, it's tricky. Like. Yeah, I think like, by and large though, you know, like a celebrity that's on the red carpet, it's like a. They're generally like, if we're talking like traditional celebrities, they're media trained, camera train, they're styled to perfection. Their hair makeup's done perfectly and they're there sort of like they know, they know how it goes. Right. And then for me, shooting in slow mo, like, slow mo is always really cool. So there's a lot of things in our favor that make this thing go well. And it isn't sort of always necessary to do some big crazy moves. Sometimes the subtle ones kind of work out. They have a certain kind of magic to it that's sort of a little unanticipated. Right. But that isn't to say that like, sometimes it becomes challenging. The hardest thing too is like finding the camera with your eyes. Sometimes if you're trying to do like a spin and you look the wrong way in slow motion, you look like you're just kind of crazy because it takes forever for your eyes to sort of adjust. So that will sort of like misrepresent you a little bit. But I don't know, like, why, why did you think yours didn't work so well? I can't think of it.
Nick
I felt like I was just trying to do too much. Like you kind of said, I feel like sometimes in these moments, less is more. And I think, you know, like, with slow motion, it, it feels like the movement takes so long, but obviously in reality it's, it's a, it's a half a second. So. Yeah, it's like you don't know if you, you know, I don't know. I mean, it turned out fine. It just felt less cool than some of the Other ones I've seen, sure, yeah.
Cole Walliser
But you're probably giving an unfair comparison if you're looking at Brad Pitt's and then looking at yours. And why can't I be like Brad Pitt but just more. Just more of a. Of a experience in front of the camera type thing, you know what I mean?
Nick
Yeah, yeah. I think again, you've shot pretty much every major celebrity. That being said, is there a celebrity that you have not been able to shoot yet that is on your bucket list?
Cole Walliser
But there's definitely a few that have eluded the glambot over the years. But these are like, yeah, top, top. Like Beyonce. Right? Like, I've never done a Beyonce glam bot. This would break the Internet. So waiting for that moment. Right. And definitely for some guys, like, for some reason, the gentlemen aren't so into doing the cool camera thing. So, you know, like Leonardo DiCaprio, Bradley Cooper, these types of gentlemen, like, super, super excited that we got Brad Pitt. And I've shot a couple other gentlemen over the years, but, like, some of the top guys sort of haven't stopped by yet. So those would be really good gets. Yeah, you know, there's. There's a few out there.
Nick
I'm kind of surprised to hear that only because I feel like most, you know, young men, especially young men who are fans of the movies, and I suspect most actors were fans growing up of movies. But, like, I feel like young men always, like, think of like those slow mo walks or like the Reservoir Dog moments where you always, like, imagine having like this slow walk moment. And I feel like you provide that for all the celebrities who are, like, dressed, dress their best. And so I'm kind of surprised that the Leos of the world aren't. Aren't taking you up on that, but maybe, maybe someday it'll happen for you.
Cole Walliser
Yeah, fingers crossed. I think I need to do, like, a social media marketing campaign where I cut all the cool guy content together. You know, there's always so much focus with, like, the women and, like, their outfits and their dress, but if I, like, put some content out there, that's all the guys looking sweet, doing their Reservoir dogs walking. I think we might convince some people to stop by next time.
Nick
Well, I mean, you also. And speaking of iconic moment, I. Was it this past year where you first was. Was that Taylor Swift's first glam bot moment or have you done her multiple times?
Cole Walliser
Oh, no, that was, I think, her my third time shooting her. Yeah.
Nick
Third time. Oh, wow.
Cole Walliser
So I think I shot her every year. Yeah, every year at the Grammys since. I guess it's 25, 24, 23. Might have been the first year, I think. Yeah, 20, 23. So. Yeah. So, yeah, we're. We're good old pals at this point, you know?
Nick
Oh, wow.
Natalie
Truly.
Nick
And have you. Have you got a chance to shoot her new fiance, Travis?
Cole Walliser
No, but, like, when they announced the engagement, I was like, yo, like a Travis and Taylor glambot. Because I feel like he would be fun and, like, do some cool, crazy stuff. Like, he would just, like, wild out, I think. You know what I mean? So I think that that would be super epic.
Nick
I think you do their wedding.
Natalie
I was about to say having the glambot at the wedding.
Nick
Yeah.
Cole Walliser
Hey, let's. Let's put it out there. I'm there. They want me there. I'm there.
Nick
I know someone I'm pretty sure gonna be at the wedding. I'll. I'll mention that. That could be fun.
Cole Walliser
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just drop a little hint in there. I'll bring you guys in as my camera assistant so we can all go.
Natalie
Thank you.
Nick
So as someone who gets to go to all these award shows, are you also. Are you sticking around and watching the award shows? Do you get to hang out and party and have some fun?
Cole Walliser
I. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I. I have. But typically, these weekends are pretty exhausting for me. Like, we're there Friday morning, like, loading in the camera, building the lights. Like, like, if this is still a job as a director, like, despite a lot of the content being me, sort of, like, as a host. So, yeah, so we're there all day Friday, like, building, setting up all day Saturday, testing, programming, tweaking. Even Sunday morning, we're, like, setting focus marks, doing things, and then it's like, you know, four hours of every 90 seconds, like, oh, hey, how you doing? Like, oh, hey, how you doing? Like, let's do this. Let's do this. And it's like, it's a full send thing. And so typically, at the end, I'm pretty gassed. And so, like, on occasion, I'll go in, like, a few times I have gone in and done the whole thing. But, like, I very much am prepared for those weekends. I go in knowing this. I have a whole plan to, like, make this all function. But, you know, like, last night, I was happy to. To go home, order some food, watch the rest of the Emmys on tv, and have a nice chill night, to be honest.
Natalie
Who did you enjoy catching up with the best last night?
Cole Walliser
Sydney Sweeney, actually, to be honest. So I Mean, for a variety of reasons, but one most mainly I shot her in 2021. And so sometimes, like. Like, I don't know. I don't know if, like, talent or celebrities, like, remember, right? So, like, maybe this is a thing where they, like, calm, do some camera thing, and they never think twice about it, right? Maybe this is a thing where they come to the camera thing and then they see it online and they read the comments and then they watch the clip, right? Like, I have no idea what her reception is to all of the content. You know what I mean? And so I. I didn't even know if she would remember. I was just kind of like, hey. And she was like. She kind of lit up. She's like, oh, my God, it's been so long since we saw each other. And I was like, yes, it has. You know, I mean, so that was, like, really just fun. And we kind of caught up. And I, you know, I mentioned just, like, because in 21, her career was, like, kind of starting, and it's just gone crazy. So chatted about that for a second, and we tried to come up with a fun, iconic kind of move. So it was really fun seeing her. She was super into it. She wanted to watch it, make sure it was good. So that was like, a fun moment for sure.
Natalie
Is that, like, do you usually let people watch it back or is that kind of like, get you held up where it's like, oh, let me redo. Oh, I can do better than that.
Cole Walliser
It depends. Like, redoing is. Can definitely be a thing that takes a lot of time because, you know, as of late, the content doesn't become more popular, more people sort of want to do it. It's like a thing that, like, okay, I get to go to the award shows, but. And then I get to do a glambot. You know, this is like this. This extra thing that comes with sort of attending one of these events. And so we often. In the past couple years, we've had, like, sometimes giant lines, like, 20, 30 people, 50 people in line. And so if we're doing multiples, like, this becomes challenging. But, you know, if Sydney asked to see it again and if she wanted to do another one, I would do another one. That isn't to say that I wouldn't first just sort of anybody, but, like, it just kind of depends if people really want, like, okay, like, let's just do it fast. It. We're. We're really trying to, like, crank through everybody. So even if it's like Sydney Sweeney and she's Like. Like, if she tried to do multiple, I'd be like, okay, one of these is probably good, you know, I mean, there's a limit at which we can just shoot, right?
Nick
But, you know, you get a little extra love when they take the time to get to know you, because I'm assuming a lot of people just kind of pass through. And I think some people you're making relationships with and other people, it's less of a personal experience. So, you know, it makes a lot of sense that, you know, Cindy took the time to say hi.
Cole Walliser
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I always try to remember that, like, even though I'm doing it, like, 150 times a row, like, this could be this thing that someone is, like, really excited to do and, like, a special moment for them. So I always try to, like, approach. I always try to approach the interaction like, okay, yes, this might be my 50th time, but it's my first time with you. Right? So it's like. Like, let me try to bring that kind of unique energy and approach to each of those interactions to give them the best shot that they can, because I also know that, like, the pressure's on too. People are nervous about whether this can work or not work for them. So, yeah, I try to do everything in their favor to just kind of make them feel calm and relaxed and kind of get the best thing possible.
Natalie
Now, you're at every award show, right? Is there one that you don't do?
Cole Walliser
Not every, but a lot of the big ones. I think the biggest one that's missing is, like, the Met Gala, which I guess isn't really, like, an award show per se, but it's like a big red carpet, right?
Lisa Traeger
You would think.
Nick
You would think the Met gal would want you.
Cole Walliser
I would love to be. To be there and to be wanted by the Met Gala. The challenge is the logistics. The red carpet is essentially just a set of stairs, right? So, like, people get off on the street and then go upstairs. The problem is, like, we need a bit of. We need, like, a platform with a 2,000 pound robot, some giant light. You know what I mean? There's a lot of, like, infrastructure that is needed to make this thing happen, and the space is just super tight, so we haven't been able to kind of, like, figure out a way to get it in there. But there's no shortage of trying or desiring to do so.
Nick
Well, specifically to the Emmys last night, were there any snubs that you want to call out or winners that you were really excited to See Win.
Cole Walliser
Yeah. I mean, I was excited to see Seth Rogen win for the studio so much. You know, we. I ended up shooting a bunch of stuff for their premiere, which is really cool, but I. I didn't. I didn't even see Seth on the red carpet. The environment gets so crazy, right? So sometimes people will pass us and, like, I won't even notice, or, like, we. We won't even really be able to connect. But typically, we have a couple, like, talent wranglers that are out sort of asking everybody. But often, you know, people just try to, like, do this step and repeat and then get into the show. So. So, yeah. So no. No explicit snubs. Oh, Tim Cook. Actually, yeah. I saw Tim Cook of CEO of Apple, and I was like, yeah, I'm a big Apple fan. I was like, yo, Tim, you gotta come do it. And then they're like, so, Tim. Tim Cook snubbed us. But I can live without.
Nick
Come on, Timmy.
Cole Walliser
I know, right?
Natalie
He'll get him next year.
Cole Walliser
Maybe.
Nick
Maybe it's. He only. He only messes with his own tech. You know, maybe that's.
Cole Walliser
Yeah, maybe if we had an iPhone on there at the end. But until the iPhones can shoot at a thousand frames a second, we're sticking with our phantom camera.
Natalie
There you go.
Nick
Well, Cole, this has been a ton of fun, man. Thanks for taking the time to give us a little insight to the. The. What it's like to be on the red carpet of the Emmys and some of these other big award shows. Anything you want to leave us with or final thoughts before we send you on your way?
Cole Walliser
No, thanks for having me. It was super fun chatting. I still am so excited to kind of be a part of these award shows, and it's kind of crazy to realize that, like, I've become sort of a staple in these things. Like, like I said, you know, next year at the emmys will be 10 years for me. Like the host switch out, the outlet switch out. But I've sort of, like, been this kind of, like, consistent staple, which is a wild, wild thought. So I'm just, like, thankful and honored to bring cool, fun content to the red carpet. And the next time I see you guys, we gotta get a little redemption and do another one. You'll be more prepped, more prepared. So we'll do one more the next time I see you.
Nick
Well, as someone who's done a few red carpets and find and finds them mostly to be anxiety riddled and a little silly, you definitely bring a highlight to any red carpet. I've been a part of when I've seen you there because it's a, it's a pretty neat experience and it feels like a rite of passage if you've ever done a few red carpets. So thanks for making what is usually a trivial thing a fun experience when you're there.
Cole Walliser
Cool. Thank you. That is the sweetest compliment. I appreciate that.
Lisa Traeger
That.
Nick
All right, call. Well, I appreciate you. Thanks for joining.
Cole Walliser
Awesome. Thanks, guys. We'll talk soon.
Nick
All right. Up next, Lisa Trager returned to the show to talk all things bravo. And she's up next.

From cashmere to denim to boots. The quality holds up and the price still blows me away. They have amazing super soft 100 Mongolian cashmere sweaters starting at just $60.

Yay.
Natalie
Hello. Hi. Look at her.
Lisa Traeger
I'm so thrilled.
Nick
How are you, Liza?
Lisa Traeger
I feel cool. I didn't know I would be able to be a Zoom guest. I love this.
Nick
Oh, did you. Do you like Zooming? Better than coming into the studio.
Lisa Traeger
Well, that I get to do it from New York. Like, I like that. Okay. I also, I'm not wearing a bra.
Natalie
Love same. I'm not wearing shoes.
Lisa Traeger
I did an audition earlier today for Disheveled Woman, so that's why I didn't wash my hair.
Natalie
No, it's giving messy buns.
Nick
Well, you look great. If I you don't mind me saying.
Lisa Traeger
Thanks. I feel great. Yeah. But yeah, I have my ice cough, you know, I, I, I'm in my home. I like that.
Nick
Okay.
Lisa Traeger
And no one can see my body. Like, I don't feel as self conscious, you know?
Natalie
Well, you look gorge from from shoulders up.
Lisa Traeger
How are you guys?
Natalie
We're so good.
Nick
Yeah.
Lisa Traeger
How's the household?
Nick
Household? Great.
Mary
Oh, my God. Well, we missed you.
Natalie
Yeah, thanks.
Lisa Traeger
I'm so happy to be here.
Natalie
We have so much to talk to you about.
Nick
Should we get into. I feel like we should get into Salt Lake City. I know it's not out yet. It premieres this week. Are you a Salt Lake City fan?
Lisa Traeger
I have a confession to make.
Nick
Oh, my God.
Natalie
We're ready.
Lisa Traeger
I have been fully out of normal world. I've been kind of out of Bravo. I watched a bunch of OC for this because Dexter Resurrection.
Natalie
Oh, my God.
Lisa Traeger
Was so good.
Nick
It was so good.
Lisa Traeger
I watched it three times and then I couldn't get Enough. So I went from season one, watched it all the way back up, and then I started making Dexter bracelets. And, like, I just can't stop thinking about anything but Dexter.
Natalie
Wow.
Nick
Now, did you. Were you an OG Dexter fan back in the day?
Lisa Traeger
Yeah. I should grab it. I actually have a photo from 2014 because. Well, not back in the day. I binged six feet under. Bitch. Dexter in the, like, later 2010 or like, okay, 2010s. But I have a Dexter badge. And I waited for him outside of a Broadway show.
Cole Walliser
Did you?
Lisa Traeger
And he signed it.
Nick
Oh, my God.
Lisa Traeger
And I didn't even have an apartment. I had just moved to New York, and we were. We were couch surfing, but I was like, we. We're seeing Michael C. Hall.
Nick
I'm old enough that when I got into Dexter, I rented the first two seasons from Blockbuster.
Lisa Traeger
Oh, that's so nice to hear.
Mary
That's cool.
Lisa Traeger
I wonder what the menu was like. Do you remember any special features?
Natalie
I scratched an itch in my brain.
Mary
Wait, were there DVD extras? That's a really good question.
Nick
I don't know. It was like, what? It came out in 2006, right?
Lisa Traeger
Yeah, like, 08, something like that. A long time ago, but. But it's like, it's kind of horny. It's scary, it's exciting. It's heartfelt.
Nick
No, they really. They made an incredible comeback. Right? Because, like, if you watched Dexter, the original series, like, the first four seasons are awesome. Season five, season six, it really falls off. Was it.
Lisa Traeger
Well, the showrunner changed, and with these new ones, the original showrunner, Clyde Phillips.
Nick
So that makes sense because the desert Dexter resurrection. And then what was the. What?
Lisa Traeger
The New Blood.
Nick
New blood. New Blood and Resurrection were both pretty solid. Like, we loved Resurrection, except that. Not spoiler alert. The. The ponytail killer. I really needed him to know.
Lisa Traeger
Season two, Baby, we're going to Wisconsin. Are you kidding?
Nick
Okay.
Lisa Traeger
He's going to be at. He's going to be after church brunch in Wisconsin with his family, and Dexter is going to walk into the diner and fucking scare the shit out of this guy. I'm, like, on edge. I can't wait to see Eric Stone's dream. I.
Natalie
How did you like Uma Thurman?
Lisa Traeger
Uma Thurman is so sexy, so cool, so good a nod. I. I felt a nod to Beatrix Kiddo when she was like, be cool.
Natalie
Very cool.
Lisa Traeger
I'm like, that's. It felt like, so for the fans and reference, heavy and like, also, again, spoiler. But when Dexter's in The car with her. Holding her back with the neck and the little tear. Oh, my God. I just thought that was so exciting.
Nick
No, it was very, very well done. We were very into it. I was.
Lisa Traeger
I'm so happ. Happy you watch it. It's actually, like. I know it's so popular, but I've had a hard time finding people to connect with.
Nick
We watch everything.
Lisa Traeger
Everything.
Mary
You guys, should. I watch Dexter?
Nick
Have you not seen it at all, Mar.
Mary
Well, I. I definitely like growing up as a child. I would watch the regular Dexter, but not, like, deeply enough to get into it because I was, like, 10, and I shouldn't have been watching it, so.
Lisa Traeger
And you know what else this season did well? The gore. It was bloody. I liked it.
Mary
Ooh, I love bloody.
Lisa Traeger
It was bloody. I love.
Mary
Okay, maybe I'll lock into dexterity.
Lisa Traeger
I love the detectives. I like that we're gonna have that. I also. This is my big. Should we not sw. I think the detective is gonna realize the blood slides are gone because the plaque is there, and I think he's not gonna get a break. Like, I think it's gonna be. I just can't wait. They did such a good job.
Nick
Well, they tried to kill. They've tried to kill Dexter a few times. Realize it doesn't work. So can we just. Can we try. Can we just let go of the.
Natalie
For anyone who hasn't watched. This isn't a spoiler. For anyone who has watched. You, like, will know exactly what I'm talking about. How much anxiety did you have when Harrison and Dexter were in that room? And he was like, oh, let me go and find. Get out. What are you doing? What. Get out of the room. Like, stand on the. Like, what are you doing? The door's gonna shut. Yeah, it didn't even.
Lisa Traeger
I honestly, I had to watch it a few times to get. I was just so exc. I like watching him clean more than anything. Watching Dexter clean and be thorough is, like, so nice.
Natalie
Do you like watching, like, are you a fan of those in general? Like, our TikTok, like, clean up my kitchen with me.
Lisa Traeger
Or there's one Nikki. You guys know Operation Nikki?
Natalie
I know.
Lisa Traeger
Oh, she'll. She cleans. It's really wild to watch, but it's a lot of consumer products. I don't think anyone should live fully like that. But make.
Nick
Is it the ASMR Of. Of cleaning that you like? What's.
Lisa Traeger
Maybe I don't love it. It's not my main. It's not my main.
Nick
I like the asmr of people chewing on tv.
Lisa Traeger
No.
Nick
Yeah, I do.
Lisa Traeger
Wait, I do have to say one more Dexter thing. No, I'm kidding. Okay.
Nick
Get it out.
Lisa Traeger
I actually bought a dress with blood spatter all over it. And I'm going to be Dexter's kill room for Halloween.
Natalie
Genius.
Lisa Traeger
I just go all in.
Natalie
Is it plastic?
Lisa Traeger
No, the package just came. I'm going to try it on after.
Natalie
Look, please send us a pack.
Lisa Traeger
You have to wait for Hallo.
Nick
Okay.
Natalie
Okay.
Lisa Traeger
Okay. Also, when he turns with in the car with Batista, like, I love seeing his, like, mask slip. I love that. Oh, this is what I was gonna say with, like, new blood to this. People that aren't fans were like, didn't he die? And I'm like, yeah, we don't care. He's back to life. What are you doing? Don't ruin our fun. He's.
Mary
He's called resur. It's called resurrection.
Nick
The doctor saved his life, you know?
Lisa Traeger
Yeah, yeah.
Natalie
And it made sense. Like, he was in the culture.
Lisa Traeger
He was in the cult. I liked new blood, too. I don't know. It's just. It was for us, the little winks at the end. Like, I just felt like they really thought about the OG Viewers.
Natalie
Who would you rather have narrate your life? Dexter or Carrie Bradshaw?
Lisa Traeger
Who are you gonna say?
Natalie
No, who am I gonna say? The most famous blanking on his name.
Mary
Anthony Hopkins.
Nick
No, the guy who does the animal.
Natalie
No, no. He's the most famous narrator.
Nick
Morgan Freeman.
Natalie
Morgan Freeman.
Lisa Traeger
Okay, Okay. I was thinking Morgan Freeman or Dexter or Michael C. Hall or Dexter. I want Dexter. I want that. It seems crazy, but right now, you could obviously tell him in a answer to anything's Dexter.
Mary
Did you guys know that if you use Waze, Michael C. Hall can narrate? He can do your directions on Waze.
Lisa Traeger
I don't ever want to drive or use Waze, so. But that's cool.
Nick
Hey, Waze is, like, the app that will, like. It'll save you two minutes, but it'll cost you. It'll get you car sick.
Lisa Traeger
Get you car sick. Stressed.
Nick
Damn it.
Mary
But you can have. I used ways for, like, a week because you could have Christina Aguilera do your directions. And it was like, girl, you missed your turn. You have to do a YUI Now.
Nick
That would. That would. I might lose my mind. Some, like, sweet, condescending voice when I'm fucking up.
Mary
Yeah. No, it'd be Christina Aguilera. When you arrive at your destination being like, you did it, diva. Now let's party. And it really made me, but then the directions were bad, so I stopped using it anyway. Speaking of true crime, Salt Lake City is returning tomorrow. Tomorrow or tonight as this airs.

Natalie
Edit.
Mary
And Nick Viall and Natalie Doyle are allies as well. And enemies are literally everybody else. All right, so where do we leave off last season? Well, we left off in Mexico. Heather, alongside other producers, created a saw trap for the women and had them read the meanest text they've ever sent about one another. Angie said Bronwyn had weird ears and that her husband has one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel. Whitney said she heard a rumor Lisa has threesomes with John Barlo and other women. Lisa then fired back with a stray at Angie, saying she heard Shonda's circle jerks. Therefore, Angie threw a glass and Meredith reacted. There's nothing okay. About any of this. Later, at the reunion, Lisa lied about talking to a jeweler because Bronwyn lied about owning a necklace. And. Okay, next slide. Because these women gave us so much in season five that we wanted to give them some high school style superlatives. All right, so first up, with best hair, we have Angie Katsanevas. With best dressed, we have Bronwyn Newport.

Okay, well, I made these awards.
Nick
Okay.
Mary
Class clown, Lisa Barlow. Most Musical, Meredith Mar Marks, dj.
Nick
Are we laughing at Lisa or. Or with Lisa?
Mary
Depends on who you're asking.
Nick
Okay.
Mary
Future president Heather Gay. Best sportsmanship. Britney Bateman. Life of the party. Whitney Wild Rose. And with our premiere award, most likely to be on SNL until she gets fired after three weeks, it is Maryam Cosby. Yay. Congratulations to all the women. All right, what's coming next? This season we have Lisa, John Barlow, and business issues between the two of them. Maybe even marital Castric to Greece. Inevitable Below deck Down under crossover George Washington wigs, Lisa, Mystery men, Mary and Angie break up and Bronwyn's mom enters. Who knows what any of these things mean?
Nick
Are these verified storylines?
Mary
These are verified storylines that Justin and I sourced from the trailer to not verify it.
Nick
So we're guessing potential storylines that we.
Mary
All right, okay.
Nick
Theories, theories. I don't think Lisa and her husband are really going to have any serious marital problems.
Natalie
I think business problems, probably business for sure.
Lisa Traeger
No, he's obsessed with her. He can't believe he got a girl that hot. Like, he is living his fantasy. He does not care about one flaw of that woman.
Natalie
And honestly, like, he's too busy staring at her. He's forgetting to pay taxes or pay anyone.
Nick
He's trying to figure out how to parallel park still.
Natalie
He's still trying to figure out a parallel park.
Justin
Legend says he's still there trying to park.
Lisa Traeger
Salt Lake gives us that. Like, it's just so much goodness. That was an amazing PowerPoint. And thank you so much. If there was a PowerPoint award, you would win for sure.
Mary
Oh, my God. Thank you so much.
Justin
Best PowerPoint goes to you guys.
Nick
What are you looking most forward to, Liza?
Lisa Traeger
Honestly, More of these sick little games they play at dinner.
Natalie
Love it.
Lisa Traeger
And I just like Meredith flipping out. And maybe we'll see her. Dj, I'M excited for. Yeah, I think those would be my top excitements.
Mary
What would be your dream, like, DJ opener?
Lisa Traeger
I don't really know the DJ game. I'll say Trixie Mattel. She's like.
Mary
Like, yeah.
Lisa Traeger
But she would headline. I don't know. I don't know. Who would open for Meredith Marks.
Mary
She would headline. Open by Meredith Marks.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah.
Mary
What do you think the f. What would be your ideal song to look up and see Meredith Marks up at the booth with?
Lisa Traeger
Well, I heard the mixes incorporate her famous quotes, so I just wanna. I'm gonna go and get ticket. Like, I have. I wanna see what's happening.
Natalie
I need a you can leave mix.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah, I wanna dance to that.
Natalie
Yeah, yeah, you can leave.
Lisa Traeger
Also, Bronwyn having to be like, she sucked that old dick to the top. Like, to live that down and come back for another season. Like, geez, you're not buying the jewelry. What's going on? He's not hot at all. Like, not charming. I just. Oh, it's devastating.
Natalie
Yeah. I feel like we're gonna get more into that relationship. I feel like if she comes. Because in the clip it showed in the trailer, it showed Bronwyn coming. Coming for Lisa's, like, business problems or whatever. And I feel like Lisa will play damn dirty. Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Lisa Traeger
When you even asked if Lisa's in on the joke or not, Like, I don't think Lisa has a sense of humor about anything.
Natalie
God, no. No, I don't think she laughs.
Mary
She's gonna hate my PowerPoint again.
Justin
The stray that Shawn caught based off of Angie throwing something out there, like, it was just like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Mary
Angie didn't even say anything.
Natalie
It was Whitney.
Justin
Whitney threw something and then she was.
Lisa Traeger
Like, what about your husband?
Mary
I'm Sean. Well, it's like, what about Sean?
Lisa Traeger
Who cares if he's circle jerks? They're so homophobic. It's so annoying.
Mary
Let that man be balding gay.
Lisa Traeger
I don't know. I love their hot, young photos. The thing is, I was. I was a longtime salon receptionist in my life, and I will say, a constant with every salon I worked at is there is at least one very hot, sexual straight guy that does great hair and he's booked all day and night with women who want, you know, know to get touched by them, but they. They are with women. Like, it is a. An archetype of the salon world.
Nick
Is that, like, is it mandatory when you start a salon that you need at least one straight male?
Lisa Traeger
It just happens. You usually get hot girls. You get Gay guys. And then you get one sexy straight guy that's just like, oozes charm.
Nick
And does he do cut and color?
Lisa Traeger
Yeah. I've never worked at Deep. I hate this saying this word. I never pronounce it right, but I don't like departmentalized salons. I like stylists and hairdressers who do both from top to bottom, like, the whole story.
Natalie
And do you think that's Sean? Is he the sexual sexy that wants all the women?
Lisa Traeger
I think so, but he's respectful because he's an owner, and I don't think he, like, harasses his employees. But, yeah, I think women go to him for his, like, it's why young women like boy bands. It's like, they're nice. They make you feel good. It's complimentary. It's like this fantasy of a man that you would like.
Natalie
Is Shawn part of Angie' glam team?
Lisa Traeger
She might be blow drying her own hair.
Natalie
I don't know if she's blow drying her. If I'm married to a hair stylist and he's not doing my hair every single morning that I wake up. Divorce.
Lisa Traeger
But isn't she also a hairstylist?
Nick
Yeah, Angie's also a hairstylist.
Natalie
Did you work at this line?
Mary
Yeah, that's their business.
Lisa Traeger
I didn't realize she was just like, back of house. I thought she did hair too.
Unknown Female Guest
She also helped Mary do her hair in one episode.
Natalie
Oh, right, right, right.
Lisa Traeger
That friendship is beautiful.
Natalie
Yeah, well, apparently they break up.
Unknown Female Guest
I know you said go get yourself another sister.
Mary
Also, they have a great name for their salon, which is lunatic fringe.
Cole Walliser
No.
Mary
Yeah, Lunatic fringe.
Lisa Traeger
Honestly, I hope to get married one day so I could do a bachelorette party at Salt Lake City and go to Beauty Brow. What is it? Laser beauty. Laser beauty la. Get a private jet. Go to OC Go to the quiet woman. Like, I just want to have a Housewives party coast to coast.
Natalie
Well, speaking of O.C. we had a new episode, and if you missed last week's episode of the Real Housewives Orange county, here's your rapid recap. Jen and Ryan have a cyber truck, because of course they do. Shannon doesn't know if she doesn't want to go with Tamara to Temecula. Heather Dubrow reminds the world that she is an ally to the trans community and also a podcaster. Emily and Jen clean up dog and cat poop. Gretchen and Emily take fireball shots. Shannon has deep thoughts. Jack Handy was left shaking in his boots. She also brought an immersion blender and an Egg bite blender on a girls trip. Diva. A random woman on the street appeared just to Heather. She has proof she didn't call the paps at Disneyland. Shannon learns what hawk to a spit on that thing is, but she revealed she swallows drinks. Heather is taking improv and was just cast on snl. Congrats, Heather. Wait. Actually, she just announced via Instagram story that she's leaving snl, but she made sure to thank Lauren in the post for posterity sake. Anyway, back to the episode. Jen is still mad about the fatty photo. Tamara backtracks on it. Basically says Ryan likes her more now that she's skinny. Jyn says that's not actually an apology. Tamara is gobsmacked by this and says, what do you want? Blood. Blood. And that's the episode. Would you rather go to Temecula with Tamra or meet a stage woman on the streets of Beverly Hills with Heather and have to pretend it's normal?
Lisa Traeger
I'm not going to Temecula. I don't care.
Justin
I said I'm staying at Heather's.
Lisa Traeger
Honestly, I liked that paparazzi person. Like, I, I would actually.
Nick
That was such a setup.
Lisa Traeger
It was a setup, but she was, she seemed.
Nick
Hey, by the way. Yeah. You didn't call the pop.
Natalie
Like, this paparazzi is like watching every episode and keeping up with the drama of. I feel like they're too busy scouting restaurants. Restaurants and celebrities.
Nick
It's kind of a bad look when the person that you're getting to dispel the rumors about you calling a pop. It looks like you also called them to dispel the same rumors about you calling the pop.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah, I don't, I don't know what she's thinking. Like, I don't know.
Justin
Well, remember she just got found out due to this lie detector test that she was lying about calling the paparazzi.
Nick
Yeah, but we now know that was a fake lie detector test, so.
Justin
Exactly. But not to her. To her it was real. So she was like, I need to be validated.
Nick
Yet again, say paparazzi do hang out in Beverly Hills on the streets, because it is, it is a sceny place. So it's. If Heather really didn't call the paparazzi, she is really going about it in the wrong way to prove her innocence.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah. Yeah. But I like what Jen said where it's like, if I did call the paparazzi, I would tell people. She's like, no one would know. No one would care if I called them. You know, Like, I wish she just kind of Got over it and admitted it and was like, yeah, I want to be in magazines.
Nick
Who has less of a sense of humor? Heather, Deborah Rowe or Lisa Barlow?
Lisa Traeger
Lisa Barlow.
Natalie
Yeah.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah, Yeah. I think Heather gets drunk. I think her and Terry, they'd have fun. They have fun.
Natalie
Yeah. You can't be married to Terry and not have a sense of humor.
Nick
Did you miss Katie this episode? Because I did.
Lisa Traeger
Yes, very much so. I did. Yeah, me too. I just. I think they're all like, do such horrible things. I just don't understand why she has to leave forever. It's weird. I don't get it. I don't get it. Can't we have another camera on her? Not into macula.
Natalie
Like, geez, yeah, like, show her at her house, like, with her kids and her husband.
Nick
I want to see her hang out with bloggers while.
Lisa Traeger
She'S a liar. But Gretchen's a liar. They're all liars. And Tamara, truly, like a spawn of Satan who I enjoy on my screen. But, like, she's vile the way she treated Shannon last season. And then now being like, I already said sorry. Get over it. I guess she's holding a grudge. And it's like, yeah, people need to. You were psychotic last season.
Natalie
I just also her trying to say that she didn't call that photo a fatty photo. Photo. I'm like, you were screaming at the rooftops that that was a fatty photo.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah. It's like, yeah, prey upon this woman who is insecure now. She lost weight, feels good getting by this guy who's, you know, probably doing a good job. Let her live. You're mad she's wearing a bikini.
Unknown Female Guest
Tamara also never said fatty photos. So that's the thing that people are forgetting that Gene is the one that said that word.
Mary
But then it's also, at the same time, Tamara's apology for sharing that photo was basically like, well, it's okay because your husband likes you just because you're skinny now.
Unknown Female Guest
Exactly.
Mary
And that was crazy.
Lisa Traeger
She didn't say fatty photo. And I get that, but what was her intention?
Natalie
She definitely alluded to her being, quote, unquote, bigger. Like, I that did not like, she was. She kept like.
Lisa Traeger
But again, it's like, you've get face. Everyone's getting facelifts and lasering and botoxing. You're all 60 and wanting to look young and you all do it. So why are we bullying this woman for doing it? I don't get it.
Justin
Well, and then I'm also, if I was calling somebody a stalker, saying that they were trying to be me. Like, the last thing I want to do is make up and hang out.
Natalie
You know what I mean?
Justin
Like, if you genuinely believed that, you.
Lisa Traeger
Should be thanking her for being a part of your gym. Who else went there? Who else had a membership? She's like, mad. She's taking classes.
Nick
It's like, yeah, instead of posting a quote unquote fatty photo, you should just be happy that, like, you think she's really improved herself since going to your.
Lisa Traeger
Gym and you were the inspo.
Nick
Yeah.
Natalie
And, like, I would love to be called tits on a stick compliment.
Lisa Traeger
Yes. Tits on a stick.
Natalie
Yeah, Tits on a stick. Like, okay.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah. It's just weird when it's not okay to talk bad about someone. And when it is and, like, what's going on?
Natalie
I mean, they're all just so hypocritical.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah.
Justin
Constantly I feel like Gretchen and Emily were talking shit about Heather right before they go and sit at her house and drink her champagne.
Natalie
Wait, I loved when they're sitting at Crustacean. Heather, Emily and Gretchen. And here comes Emily trying to, like, talk some shit about Jen. And she's like, oh, Jen said that she thinks that you are scared of Tamara and that you do this and this with Tamara and Heather so calmly continues eating and goes, well, what was your response? Yeah, yeah, round of applause. I'm sorry, it's my first question. If anyone comes to me saying, like, oh, my God, this person was talking shit about you, what was your response? Response?
Justin
And the flashback being Emily being the one that said everything that she's now saying that Jen said. Like, that's not even how she asked the question.
Natalie
And she goes, I don't remember. I think I might have said, like, I thought maybe you did.
Nick
If you don't remember, then you definitely.
Justin
Talked some shit 100%.
Nick
Or like, you, like, just softly agreed with them, you know, Like, I would have been panicking.
Natalie
Would you have spent the night at Heather's house in that little canopy bed?
Lisa Traeger
I don't even remember the bed.
Natalie
She had three beds in a room.
Lisa Traeger
I'd be a part of Heather's life at any moment. I'd open the fridge. I don't care.
Natalie
Okay.
Justin
You're like, Roberto Cavalli designed Penthouse. Yes, I will stay there for the night. And it's closer so I could go home if I get scared and need my bed. You know, I'm like, Temecula. I'm stuck with Tamara and Shannon. No, thank you.
Unknown Female Guest
With a primary bedroom.
Lisa Traeger
And then her being like, I don't need the primary. I don't need the primary. It's like, if you did not get the primary, what we would be hearing.
Natalie
About, like, I'm so uncomfortable with the primary. It's like, why? Your bathroom's right there. But then Heather opening up packages and packages from Fendi.
Justin
I loved it. She's like, he's not supposed to be home when I open packages. The rest of us are like, Amazon. She's like, $10,000 here.
Natalie
Nuts.
Nick
I do, like, every third episode. Heather. Heather clearly has a. An understanding with the producers to, like, emphasize just how rich she.
Natalie
I love it. I need it in every episode. Yeah.
Justin
The joys of being married to a plastic surgeon.
Lisa Traeger
There must be other sources of income, like our plastic surgeons.
Natalie
Well, he has the show too. He's botched.
Lisa Traeger
They had a $50 million 80. Like, how much do they sell that house for?
Justin
They did, like, huge real estate deals, remember? Like, the house that they built from the ground up. I think they sold for, like, two times as many millions as they made it for. It's like their. Their. Their house. Home sales are ridiculous.
Nick
They have diversified revenues, and I'm sure he invests.
Lisa Traeger
I'm sure she does another unpacking. I'd like to mention Shannon's suitcase was my favorite. I mean, to pack a platter. To pack a platter.
Natalie
She said, I'm making breakfast.
Lisa Traeger
It's crazy.
Justin
But she's also not wrong. Like, how many times do you want to cook dinner at an Airbnb? And you're like, wait, we don't have a spatula.
Unknown Female Guest
It's the hair dryer. The hair dryer. They might have one, they might not have one.
Mary
Really?
Justin
She said, I'm not going to be caught with my pants down here as an emulsion blender. And I'm ready to make dinner.
Mary
I was like, do you want to go meal?
Lisa Traeger
I just don't believe that she's a good cook. Like, I don't think anyone wants her multiplying anything.
Justin
The truth is we're having bisque or some sort of soup if we're bringing an emulsion blender.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah.
Natalie
Well, we also had the Real Housewives of Miami. And if you missed the episode of the Real Housewives of Miami, here's your rapid recap. The Girls do an 80s aerobics class, and Alexia revealed she dated a Cocaine Cowboy in 80s Miami. Iconic beat behavior. The girls tell Larsa and Lisa they just need to get over their and move on because it's getting annoying. Lisa detoxes with wine and green juice and it works because she stays calm talking to Larsa. They agree to move on. Lisa even re follows Larsa. Pieces in the air America take notes. The girls order a drink called Harvey Wall Bangers. And we're not gonna deconstruct that and move on. Stephanie and Alexia try to stuff it out. It's revealed that Marisol is actually the one that hates Stephanie, not Alexia. They both open up about sister trauma and bond over it. Things are looking good for them. Lisa continues on her early streak. She's learning, growing and changing. Gertie served Eyes Wide Shut realness at the function. Apparently Alexia had sex with Todd two days ago. Adrina hates her birthday cake but loves her birthday male strippers. Gertie starts going to therapy and opened up about her past. Marisol is certainly not ready to double date with Alexia and Todd. Stephanie, Sojay and Adriana are becoming besties because they both hate Marisol. And Stephanie wants Adriana to perform at her party. And that's the episode question. Is Gertie the best dressed housewife in his history? Let's discuss I don't think so history.
Justin
I don't think so. I love her.
Mary
She pulls some crazy fit.
Unknown Female Guest
I love Gertie. But those ears. The bunny ears. She's going to a different dinner.
Mary
Are you kidding me?
Nick
I just. And I'm probably the only one who knows this, but the Harvey Wall Bangers reference is a Reference from the 1982 Milwaukee brewers baseball team.
Lisa Traeger
And then you. Do you just know all baseball players of all decades.
Nick
Why do you die from 82? Milwaukee brewers are my team team. Shout out to the team with the best record in baseball currently. But you can fact check me. Sierra or Harvey Wall Bangers. But Harvey was the manager who replaced. Someone else was fired in the middle of the season and he took over and they. They went to the World Series and lost the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games.
Natalie
Do you know what's in the drink?
Nick
I. I don't. I didn't know after a drink. But the Harvey Wallbringers was like the. The name of the team team. Like that was their nickname for the team.
Natalie
Wait, where were they when they ordered this?
Mary
Am I right on the Virgin Airline guys boat.
Justin
Richard Branson.
Nick
Richard Branson.
Mary
Yeah. That guy.
Justin
Virgin.
Nick
Did they go to any islands?
Mary
We just saw him on the boat.
Nick
Okay.
Natalie
Just some free press for the cruise.
Mary
But they seem to have fun. A lot of people made up. It was.
Nick
Am I right about the Harvey Wallbangers?
Unknown Female Guest
He replaced Buck Rogers. And he was replaced by Renee Leach.
Nick
Yeah, but Were the brewers called the Harvey Wallbangers?
Unknown Female Guest
Yeah.
Nick
Okay. Thank you.
Natalie
Okay. The scene with Lisa and Larsa making up, Lisa felt so performative to me where she like, takes off her glasses and she's like, I'm crying and she's like, let me put my glasses back on. I don't want anyone to see me.
Lisa Traeger
So I unfortunately did not watch the newest episode of Miami. Um, but I would like to say Lisa and Larsa to me are the most two, the number one and two most vapid housewives in all franchise. Across all franchises.
Unknown Female Guest
Not the vapid.
Natalie
Not the vapid.
Mary
Continue.
Lisa Traeger
I think they're both empty vessels of nonsense and watching them talk is amazing television. But it's like, I've just never seen people that are so. Yeah.
Natalie
Vapid, you know, with the fact that we have drug out her following Marcus for this long. Wrong.
Lisa Traeger
It's so rude. Unfollow your friend's ex. You dumb. Like, I can't even.
Natalie
Even if it's your boyfriend's bestie, it doesn't matter.
Lisa Traeger
It's. You're 50. What are you talking about the Internet for? Who gives a. Like, unfollow your friend's ex. Mute him. Like, I just. I don't. I can't. I can't.
Natalie
Do you think that she called the paparazzi?
Lisa Traeger
What is Marcus posting that's like, so riveting?
Natalie
Like, what do you think Larsa called the paparazzi on Marcus snorting the cocaine on the yacht?
Lisa Traeger
I hope so.
Nick
Alexia married to a cocaine cowboy is dated.
Natalie
Dated.
Nick
Dated wild.
Mary
Dated a cocaine cowboy.
Lisa Traeger
It's not that wild. She was married to another coke king. Like, she's like the sexiest woman of in Miami. Of course she's with a cocaine cowboy.
Nick
I mean, certainly a serial killer.
Lisa Traeger
Oh, wow. I didn't think about that. I understand now.
Mary
Yeah, she likes dangerous.
Lisa Traeger
Danger.
Natalie
She likes danger.
Mary
I think the thing about Miami in the 80s is you could like, throw like, you know, a tiny little spoon and hit a coke dealer.
Nick
I guess so. I guess.
Lisa Traeger
Oh, yeah, the killing of it all. But to me, it's still crazier. I forgot what season when Todd was like, they admitted pissing on each other and I was like, this is crazy for housewives.
Natalie
Crazy.
Lisa Traeger
That's crazier than cocaine cowboy. To me, getting on Bravo and admitting you're like, pissing on each other. Other. It's great.
Mary
Miami will just say it.
Nick
You've had too much sex. If. If you have to resort to.
Lisa Traeger
To that or it's your thing. We don't Kink shame here on Vile Files.
Nick
Why not?
Natalie
I don't know. I. I definitely. I'm definitely Kink. Shaming Gretchen, breaking Slade's penis, and then continuing to talk about it every episode.
Lisa Traeger
This is a classic thing among salt, me and my best friends slash, you know, bravo, babes. What we talk about all the time. Time is these women are always talking about all the sex they're having, but we know for a fact they're not. Yeah, there's. Why are you. Have. I have sex eight times a day. Okay, sure, yeah, Scott, it has time.
Natalie
That's why they always play the game. When was the last time you had sex? At dinner. Because they know everyone's gonna lie.
Nick
Yeah. No one. No normal adult has sex. If you have sex twice a day, that's.
Lisa Traeger
That's.
Nick
That's something to celebrate.
Natalie
Yeah.
Mary
Well, I feel like it's like Lisa Vanderpump rules, where Lisa Vanderpump's entire personality was, like, Sabrina Carpenter double entendre. But then that woman had sex twice a year.
Justin
If that.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah, if that.
Natalie
It was once, and it was on Ken's birthday.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Natalie
That's true, that's true.
Lisa Traeger
No, Miami is superior in terms. That's why OC Is so boring. I'm like, we're still talking about this pot. Like, move on. On move on. Like, Miami keeps it moving. And I like that.
Justin
That's how I feel about, like, Salt Lake City.
Lisa Traeger
Keep it moving.
Justin
Salt Lake City and Miami. I love it so much. Where I'm like, beverly Hills really needs to bring it. Because I'm like, if I have to watch one storyline for 18 episodes again, I'll lose it.
Mary
Conflict resolution. Conflict resolution. Conflict, no resolution. Reunion resolution.
Natalie
Yeah.
Nick
I need. I need Charlie Sheen to make an appearance on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Justin
Oh, I forgot about.
Nick
He started watching that doc on Netflix. Wild.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah.
Unknown Female Guest
Oh, yeah. A lot of people are liking it.
Justin
I haven't seen it yet.
Natalie
Opens the documentary up with saying he was on a 300 passenger plane, hammered out of his mind after he just, like, swallows six mini shots of hard liquor. And the captain is like, oh, Charlie Sheen, like, big fan, big fan. And he likes to fly the plane. Lets him fly the plane, lets him sit in the seat in the cockpit, takes it off autopilot, and lets Charlie Sheen, hammered. Fly a 300 passenger plane.
Lisa Traeger
Fame is a disease. Like, allow. What?
Natalie
Literally?
Nick
Yeah.
Lisa Traeger
Imagine being on that plane, even sitting in it. I'm okay with. I would try to get in the cockpit, but to take it off autopilot. What? He's hammered. Why?
Justin
Yeah, he has no training.
Natalie
He has no. Like, he doesn't even know he's drunk, but he has no training.
Lisa Traeger
But you know when you take like a Chinese child to Chuck E. Cheese, you don't have to give him quarters. They don't know what's happening. Like, this man's passed out. Like, he doesn't know if he's flying it or not. Like, let him keep it on autopilot. Why do you actually need to put all these people's lives in danger?
Natalie
Which reminds me of when my. My mom gave my daughter, my 19 month old daughter a frozen waffle because she said she wanted it. And I was like, she doesn't know it has to be toasted. It looks the same frozen and toasted. She's like, but she just wanted it so bad right then.
Nick
And I'm like, if she asked for a knife, would you give her that too?
Natalie
But yeah, like they don't know.
Lisa Traeger
Did we find out if the pilot got fired or fined?
Nick
Well, he told the story, I think, you know, 30 years after it happened. Happened type of thing.
Natalie
Yeah. So we don't know.
Nick
Yeah, this was in the 80s where they're.
Lisa Traeger
Oh yeah, 80s are different.
Natalie
Yeah.
Lisa Traeger
Pre 9 11. We could have a good time up there.
Nick
Yeah.
Unknown Female Guest
The pilot's retired by now and he.
Nick
Was French according to Charlie Sheen's accent.
Lisa Traeger
I did get to go into the cockpit in December, but we were grounded. But the guy was like, we're delayed if anyone wants to come on up. So I got in there, it was.
Nick
Like, was it you and a bunch of 7 year olds?
Lisa Traeger
Just kidding. That is actually what happened. It was just me. I was first because, you know, I'm. I'm obviously in first class. I'm going to Cincinnati. I'm. I'm upgraded, obviously. And so I was first in there. I was having the time of my life. And then I walked outside and it was a line of children. And I realized that I misunderstood.
Nick
That sounded like me on my first Thanksgiving at Natalie's family when they brought out the ice. Well, they have a rule. Apparently the kids go first in this family. Family. I was not made aware of this rule. And then there was. Well, it was the day after Thanksgiving dinner. So then I guess I was made aware of the rule. But there was an engagement celebration for Natalie's cousin and his. His lovely now bride. And they brought out the ice cream buffet. This was before I was off sugar.
Natalie
A lot of disclaimers and I don't.
Nick
Know it like looks least three minutes had passed and ice cream melts and no one was going up there. So I was like, all right, well, I guess I'll start this train. All the moms in the room, I was like, the new boyfriend at the time were just devastated.
Natalie
And a bunch of my nieces and.
Nick
Nephews and I was basically like knocking kids over. Yeah.
Lisa Traeger
But like, they don't. I've flown over 700,000 miles. Yeah. Let me in the cockpit.
Natalie
It's time. Have you gotten your wing pin yet?
Lisa Traeger
I have wing p. Well, I collect the delta cards.
Unknown Female Guest
Oh, you do?
Lisa Traeger
I collect the trading cards from the.
Unknown Female Guest
Pilots, so that makes sense now.
Nick
Oh, another thing for all the audience members who's. Who've listened to this show before. We had Nally's brother in law over for dinner a week ago, and now he's like, would you want to come over? Do you want to come over for dinner? And he was like, can you cook? And Nally was like, no, but Nick can. So I made my meatballs with my homemade sauce. And if you listen to this show, you know that on that same thing scene Thanksgiving, Nally brought me her boyfriend and she, Amanda, her sister married to her brother in law, suggested I make something. So now he's like, he can make meatballs. So I made meatballs for a family that like, is very traditional when it comes to Thanksgiving. And her family, all her aunts and her grandma made fun of me because like, I.
Natalie
Not because he made the meatballs necessarily, but because it was the only thing.
Nick
He ate because I hate fucking turkey.
Natalie
My sweet grandma. There was like, no, Nick, did you try my stuff in? And he was like, no, no, I didn't. I have 20 of my own meatballs.
Nick
Anyway, her brother in law is eating these meatballs and he's like, these are the best meatballs I've ever had. Why haven't you made these before? And I was like, you got to be kidding me. You know, I made them for you two years ago.
Natalie
Two?
Nick
Yeah. I don't know. But anyway, so I want.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah, I'm actually. I've realized in the last few years I don't think I like meatballs because I went to a meatball contest and I ate at all the meatballs and I was like, I don't think I'm into meatballs.
Natalie
I think that would ruin anything.
Nick
Yeah.
Lisa Traeger
And I always order them. I want to be cool. I feel it's like a fun order. And I'm always like, I just want a piece of bread.
Unknown Female Guest
What about Ikea meatballs. Those are delicious.
Lisa Traeger
Oh, God, they're not, but I'll do it because I love, like, kitsch. I like to lean in.
Natalie
Yeah, you love a bit.
Lisa Traeger
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to lean in.
Nick
Are you an SNL fan, Lisa?
Lisa Traeger
I am, but I would say casual. I also like, you know, I have friends on it. I've been, I've been in the green room.
Nick
Any inside tea? Why? Everyone's like the mess. Mass exodus at snl.
Lisa Traeger
Listen, I don't know about specific.
Nick
You grinned.
Natalie
You did.
Lisa Traeger
You know something? I think it's a messed up place and I think there's a lot of psychological torture going on. Okay. And I think it's great for people's careers. I think it's cool. I think it's fun. Take it. I wish you mentally well, but I don't think anyone that leaves is a upset or they're upset because they get fired. But I think a few months out, everyone feels free. Maybe like the. They're out of a cult. Maybe.
Mary
Okay, maybe allegedly potential, like perhaps.
Lisa Traeger
I think that's the vibe. Right?
Cole Walliser
Okay.
Mary
Yeah.
Lisa Traeger
Wasn't there a bunch of jokes on the 50th of like, we're too mentally unwell?
Natalie
Yeah.
Mary
I mean, couldn't like, Bill Hader not go to the 50th because the idea of going to that studio made him like, have a panic attack.
Lisa Traeger
And then some people shine. Listen, have all my friends been fired from there? Yes, constantly, for over a decade. But. And some people love it, some people take it for what it is. Some people lose themselves, some people shine, some people get bull. Like, you know, it's lots of different people and it's a high stress, competitive environment. It's like Drag Race. There could be amazing drag queens, but Drag Race is maybe not the format or like, they can deal with it. Some get lost in the sauce, you know, it's like so individual.
Natalie
Okay, well, thanks for the inside scoop.
Nick
Yeah, Little, Little.
Lisa Traeger
I know all my friends are pissed. No one will talk to me ever again.
Natalie
But I'm like, well, we appreciate it, Lisa.
Nick
This always fun to have you on.
Lisa Traeger
I can't believe I'm leaving.
Natalie
No, no, come back.
Nick
Yeah, come on. I'll get your name right.
Lisa Traeger
I'm devastated.
Natalie
Please come back.
Nick
Can you plug tell us where we can find fun stuff?
Lisa Traeger
I would love to. Listen, I am out on the road, guys. Springfield, Missouri, San Francisco, Baltimore. I'm going to Denver this weekend. But also I'm in Europe. Dublin, London, Amsterdam, Paris. Never been to Paris. Oh, my. Australia. Perth, New Zealand. I know Perth. I canceled not enough ticket sales. But Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland.
Nick
Where can people get tickets and support you?
Lisa Traeger
I'm actually working on rebranding right now. But at Glitterchee, it's like people forgot how to use the Internet. Figure it out. Don't people remember? Encyclopedia is going to the library doing research. Find the link, type in my name. Google. Lisa Traeger, Australia.
Natalie
Can I ask tickets or do I have to type in my credit card info?
Lisa Traeger
I don't know. Hopefully there's a shop pay. I don't know, I just.
Mary
Just give me your credit card information.
Lisa Traeger
Then I can get.
Natalie
Okay, great.
Lisa Traeger
Some announced I am having a big deal show in January, February, ish, that I'm announcing soon. But at Glitter Cheese on Instagram, I have a podcast called that's Messed up, an SVU podcast where we talk about svu, the true crime it's based on. We interview actors from it and we did just interview someone from Dexter Resurrection who's in seven episodes of svu. So that was a thrill. But yeah, it's called that's Messed up and then, oh, my Netflix special. That's the most important thing. Actually, please watch my Netflix special. It's an hour. It came out in January, but still relevant. It's called Night Owl and I'm proud of it. I'm proud of it. This was a thrill, guys.
