Nick

He's also hot to trot on TikTok and we grill him about his relationship.

Nick
Yeah, he's also currently dating Summer Ray.
Victoria Fuller
I love that.
Natalie
How do you know Summer?
Mark Estes
I don't.
Victoria Fuller
Should we get into it?
Nick
He's dating someone named Summer Rae, who my wife tells me is a, is a lovely gal. I've never heard of her.
Victoria Fuller
Don't know her.
Natalie
Well, we had a wonderful weekend this past weekend. Victoria got us out of the house.
Victoria Fuller
I guess I did.
Nick
I'm really into my like, I'll say this much about the world in that we just need to like dive into our community, whoever our community is. And Victoria took us to this lovely winery over the weekend. You're welcome, kid. Friendly people approved. Everyone was just like lovely and outside and off their phones and just having a good vibe.
Victoria Fuller
Smoking cigars.
Nick
I smoked a cigar for the first time in a long time. They were selling cigars. Anyways, we had such a good time. Like honestly, it's just like, it's so good. I really think people need to be like finding what's going on in their local community. Whether you're in a relationship, out of a relationship, just get outside, have some fun, connect.
Chelsea Fry
Yeah, I agree.
Nick
Victoria brought a date.
Mary
I like that. Nick's idea of investing community is just doing like hanging out.
Victoria Fuller
Hanging out?
Nick
Yeah. People don't hang out anymore outside of their.
Natalie
There was a lot of like older kids who were like playing with river and then like their parents would like, come and, like, the parents were all talking to the other parents and, like, the kids were playing with the kids, and it was a cute vibe. There was live music. It was.
Victoria Fuller
It was fun. It was a lot of fun. Did we just glaze over that. Did Nick just say Victoria brought a date? Yeah.
Susie Evans
Is that what we heard?
Victoria Fuller
Is that what we heard? Well. And I did bring a date.
Natalie
Well, you did go Instagram official.
Victoria Fuller
And we are. We are married.
Susie Evans
So surprise, surprise, you heard it here first.
Victoria Fuller
I'm engaged.
Nick
We're trying to force relationship on all our friends because selfishly, Natalie and I want to build a community with all our friends having babies and in relationships at the same time. It's really all about us really not trying to force our lifestyle and anyone else except for the people we want to hang out with on a regular basis.
Victoria Fuller
But how did you like him? Nick?
Nick
I liked him.
Victoria Fuller
He was cool, right?
Nick
Yeah.
Natalie
Well, you had your first.
Nick
I said normal, which gave Victoria the ick.
Natalie
Oh.
Victoria Fuller
Oh.
Natalie
First off, she knows. She's used to it.
Victoria Fuller
I'm allergic to normal.
Nick
Not that he gave normal.
Victoria Fuller
I'm allergic to normal. I'm very allergic. Highly.
Natalie
Hives.
Victoria Fuller
Hives everywhere.
Nick
I say normal, she hears boring.
Victoria Fuller
And I don't like that because I don't think he's boring. But so when you say normal, it's more like grounded.
Nick
That he's grounded.
Victoria Fuller
Grounded, Healthy. He's even keel.
Natalie
He's healthy.
Susie Evans
He's healthy. Not toxic.
Victoria Fuller
Not toxic. Not really in the scene. He's low key.
Natalie
But you had your first date while you were in New York for New York Fashion Week?
Victoria Fuller
Yes, we did. He flew to New York and he came to New York and we went on our first date and we spent two days together.
Nick
That's what we did.
Victoria Fuller
And it was lovely. Yeah, I know. Very reminiscent. It was just fun.
Natalie
Was Fashion Week in a whole fun.
Victoria Fuller
For you this year? Fashion Week was work.
Nick
Who did you see?
Victoria Fuller
So I was with Paige of Sorbo most of the time.
Nick
We love her.
Victoria Fuller
We love Paige.
Nick
How does she feel about me?
Victoria Fuller
Hates you. I'm just kidding.
Natalie
She didn't. She's like, your name didn't come up.
Victoria Fuller
Absolutely despises you. No. You didn't come up in conversation, unfortunately. But, you know, she probably likes you. Think there's a reason to.
Nick
What do you really think?
Victoria Fuller
I think she probably doesn't love your take on her ex. I wouldn't like it either.
Nick
Yeah, I get it.
Victoria Fuller
If you were, like, hyping up Greg.
Natalie
I'd be like, whereas what we're all doing together.
Victoria Fuller
So we were working with Tresemme, so it was very busy for 48 hours, which was so much fun. We got to film this, like, miniseries on YouTube that will be coming out soon. So it was just, like, show what's going on behind the scenes with Trust Me, during Fashion Week, which was amazing because I just have always dreamed of doing something like that. And I finally got to do something, like, really big for Fashion Week.
Natalie
No, it's like, on that.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah. Sat front row at the Christian Siriano show. Oh, my God. They were, like, videoing us the whole time on our commentary, which is crazy.
Natalie
That's crazy.
Victoria Fuller
On the outfits, on the vibe, on the hair. So it's very cool. That is really cool.
Natalie
Yeah.
Victoria Fuller
So check it out on YouTube in, like, a week or two.
Nick
Question. Since Fashion Week, I've just popped in my head, question for all the ladies in the room right now. Like, how do you guys approach communicating to your boyfriends or people you're dating, whether you like or more specifically, don't like part of their outfit? Like, do you guys give notes?
Victoria Fuller
I have a hard time giving notes.
Natalie
You have a hard time giving notes?
Victoria Fuller
I have a hard time giving notes because, yeah, I don't know that I fully trust myself. And so sometimes I'll see something, and I'm like, is this fashion, or am I just so behind in the times? But I've definitely been uncomfortable with some of my past partners outfits.
Natalie
Like, what has it been that's made you uncomfortable? Like, is it skinny jeans? Is it Chelsea boots?
Victoria Fuller
No, I feel like it's like, risky fashion, you know, like, risky fashion where I'm like, oh, like, I wouldn't have. I wouldn't have gone for that.
Mary
I didn't know you were into street.
Victoria Fuller
The call out was wild.
Susie Evans
Natalie.
Natalie
I just was, like, curious. Like, what? Like, what?
Nick
I mean, when Natalie met me, I was. I was all skinny jeans and Chelsea boots. And Natalie, God bless her, I. Because I am. No, no, no. Seriously, you're sticking with me. I'm from the Midwest.
Victoria Fuller
You turned that ship around.
Nick
And As a Midwest B.O. always wanted to be fashionable. I enjoyed fashion. I made an attempt at, like, keeping up with fashion, but when you're from the Midwest, it just, like, it comes inland much slower. I mean, I had friends getting out of boot cut jeans into skinny jeans when I was migrating out of skinny jeans into, like, regular fitting pants because Natalie appropriately shamed me. And thank God for her because I used to paint that shit on my pants, and I can't, like, it's so uncomfortable. It really took. But it took a lady in my life to just say, hey, yeah. Because I think all men, when they get to, like, a certain age, freeze in time with their fashion.
Victoria Fuller
I actually think, though, because I've done the whole transformation and, like, gone through that with. With men that I've dated, and I'm like, you're going to wear this. You're going to wear this, like, and really elevate them. And then we break up. So I actually would like to go the opposite way.
Nick
You don't want to make them.
Victoria Fuller
I want them to be heinous. I don't want them to be fashionable. I want them to be lose. I don't want them to know the.
Leia
Trends until there's a ring on your finger.
Natalie
It doesn't.
Leia
The fashion doesn't change until we are.
Victoria Fuller
Married and I have. I am with child.
Natalie
He's going to look. Girls will not desire him.
Victoria Fuller
Girls will look at him with disgust.
Nick
Okay, so when. If you're not Victoria Fuller in Toxic.
Victoria Fuller
That is rude. That's actually really rude.
Natalie
That was mean.
Susie Evans
I was actually gonna say, I did this with my. With my fiance. Now I let him be himself. And then now that we are in the process of together as one, let's start changing some things.
Natalie
So you're like, okay, now these have to go. And he's like, I've been wearing these for the last 10 years. And you're just now telling me he.
Susie Evans
Has had a couple of moments like that recently. Actually, a couple days ago, he was literally, like, called me and he was like, that shirt that you didn't like, the blue one buttoned down. Is it. Was there a reason? And I was like, I thought I threw that away. And it was. It was a different shirt, but it was like he was literally calling me with anxiety because he didn't want to wear this shirt because he knew I didn't like it and thought it was going to look bad.
Nick
You know what the trick is, Susie, for in the future, when you're dating a guy who gives a shit whether you like whether it's fashionable or not?
Natalie
If they look like shit, tell them.
Victoria Fuller
No, no.
Nick
You don't know. It's the opposite. Don't. Don't criticize them. Don't be like, ew, that looks bad. Don't. You're stupid. It's more. Give them something to wear. Pick out something. Maybe it's a gift. Put it. Have them try it on and go, oh, my God, you look so fucking good in that. That's hot. That's sexy. Oh, my God.
Victoria Fuller
Oh.
Nick
You know, like, men want to feel hot. They want to feel good. They want to feel pretty. They really do. And if you just, like, make them feel that way, like, it'll work. It's not. It's not about criticizing what they. What they're doing. It's like, it's gassing them up. And, like, you gas. Literally gaslight them into wearing what you want them to wear.
Mary
Positive gaslighting.
Victoria Fuller
So. And you're calling me toxic. That's crazy. Okay, wait, I have. I have a question. Because I was in a car full of boys, young men, if you will. I won't go into too much detail about that, but I was listening to this conversation, and one of the guys found out that his ex has moved on. And they pulled up a picture of the new guy, and he was, like, slightly less attractive than the guy that was in the car with us. And everyone's, like, dogging on the new guy and just talking about his looks, like, how it's a downgrade, all this stuff. And I genuinely, like, from the depths of my soul, I wanted to be like. You do realize he's probably, like, a decent human who, like, doesn't lie, doesn't manipulate her. Like, it really has nothing to do with his looks. I kept that to myself because I actually don't know these people that well. But in the back of my head, I was like, is this, like, how all men think you lose the girls, like, because you weren't hot enough or that this guy isn't as attractive? Like, I was so confused, and I'm like, I've not been in car fulls of men full of men before. So.
Nick
Nick, honestly, it sounds like car full of ladies.
Susie Evans
I know.
Natalie
My takeaway is, like, love the fact that they are, like, pulling up a photo. They're, like, doing. Being little FBI agents. They're, like, finding a photo of the new guy, like, scrolling back years.
Nick
They're like, ooh, girl, he's ugly.
Susie Evans
You wear skinny jeans.
Victoria Fuller
I was like, I. I mean, I don't. I was so caught off guard. I was like, is this what happens in with men, Nick?
Natalie
Do y' all do that?
Nick
I think, honestly, in a lot of ways, yeah. Men are a lot. Like, playing a lot of the stereotypes that are about when it comes to, like, women talking about men and dating. And men are great. Well, gassing up their boys and making them feel good and they'll. They're pulling for anything. If they think their friends hotter than the other person, they'll Say that if they're. If the guy she left him for has, like, what they perceive to be, like, not as cool of a job, they'll on that. Right. They're just, like, gassing up their friend, you know, Just the same way. I think ladies would do that.
Victoria Fuller
Absolutely right. I would be like, she's heinous.
Nick
I get Susie. If your friend was like. Was all upset about her ex moving on, and then you're like, let me see a picture of her, and you thought she was less attractive than your friend, like, what would you say?
Victoria Fuller
True, true, true, true. But if. If I felt like my friend, like, totally fumbled that guy and, like, treated him shitty, like, would I. Would I, like, call it out and be like, well, you did kind of like, I wouldn't.
Natalie
Yeah.
Victoria Fuller
That's the thing is I'm like, nobody. I'm like, nobody's living in reality here. Like, you fumbled her.
Susie Evans
Like, there's a reason why you guys broke up, and you're thinking it's because she doesn't find you attractive anymore, but it's not about all of the things that you did.
Nick
I mean, no offense, though. I. I don't know of a lot of women groups are doing that with their girlfriends when they're upset with. Over a guy.
Victoria Fuller
That's fair. That's fair. Okay. I guess it's a good thing I kept my mouth shut.
Chelsea Fry
Then it's like, but were you the toxic one?
Victoria Fuller
You fumbled him, unfortunately. Right. Maybe I'm the only person that could have said it in the car, but I was like, I'm not gonna put that.
Susie Evans
The vibes.
Victoria Fuller
I'm not gonna. Yeah, I'm not gonna bring the vibes.
Nick
Susie, I want to know, how did you end up with a bunch of young, strange men in a car?
Victoria Fuller
I was hitching a ride. I won't. I. I don't want this to get back. You know what I mean? I don't want this to get back to the. The Source. So it feels like it will.
Natalie
She was hitching a ride. She was hitching a ride she had her thumb up on the side of Sunset Boulevard.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Susie Evans
For my. The Summer I Turned Pretty Girls. What is this that I'm hearing that Christopher Briony is narrating in Erotica Obsessed?
Victoria Fuller
Is this a thing? This is the thing. It's like a new series.
Natalie
I'm not a fan of the Summer I Turned Pretty, but I am a fan of eroticas. And so.
Victoria Fuller
And she is a fan of eroticas, everyone.
Natalie
And so, like, am I excited that young Leonardo Dicaprio lookalike is going to be narrating. I honestly.
Nick
Do we have a clip?
Natalie
Do we have a clip? I need to hear his sexy voice.
Nick
Let's see Christopher Briney's sexy voice.
Natalie
Yep, I'm tuned in.
Leia
The problem with the audiobook is that I want to see his face.
Nick
Close your eyes, Leia.
Natalie
Yeah, no, turn the lights on.
Victoria Fuller
I see his face everywhere.
Leia
My imagination isn't strong enough.
Natalie
Your eyes are shut. They should be shut.
Nick
All right. Around the room. I want to hear everyone's sexy voice.

Leia
You deserve to be loved and thoroughly ruined.
Susie Evans

Victoria Fuller

Natalie
She's gone. She's gone. She deleted herself. She's muted herself.
Leia
I did reach out to get Christopher Briney back on the show.
Victoria Fuller
I hope that's okay.
Justin
Justin, it's against my contract to do that. I don't do impersonations or voices.
Nick
Nah, if Leia had to, you'd have to.
Chelsea Fry
I can't.
Justin

In a sexy.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, I feel like you're always just.
Justin
Sexy, but that's just me. I can't do it if you're, like, asking me to do it.
Natalie
Can you just say the words? You deserve to be loved and thoroughly ruined.
Mary
For the girls.
Victoria Fuller
No, honestly, even what he just said, I just. What did you say? I just do it. And I. That was even sexual.

Victoria Fuller
Wow, guys, I think we're all.

Susie Evans
It was good.
Victoria Fuller
Ready? Yeah, I guess.
Natalie
Are you ready?
Victoria Fuller
Yeah. You got it?
Susie Evans
Are you?
Natalie
No, I'm Not. I have the giggles all of a sudden, and I can't feel in character when I'm giggly. Okay. It feels silly.
Leia
Giggling isn't sexy.
Victoria Fuller
I hate it. I hate it so much. Please do it right now. Okay, yeah, yeah, Nick, but do it.
Natalie
Don't do it. Silly.
Nick
You deserve to be loved.
Natalie
That's your silly.
Nick
I don't know how to.
Victoria Fuller
That just sounds so, like. Yeah, like, come on, do it low.
Natalie
Like, guys, let's pretend.
Victoria Fuller

Victoria Fuller
It's done.
Leia
No, the finale. Finale happened, and it was beautiful.
Victoria Fuller

Natalie
Three.
Leia
This was season three.
Nick
Three. And now there's a movie.
Leia
This was the third and final season.
Justin
We know who she chooses, right?
Leia
Spoiler alert.
Chelsea Fry
Belly.
Justin
No, don't.
Leia
Christopher Briney.
Mary
Well, yeah, I thought Belly might choose herself for once.
Leia
No Stomach chose Conrad.
Natalie
No, Stomach ended up going.
Chelsea Fry
Stomach is crazy.
Leia
It was perfect. All of the Taylor Swift songs were perfect.
Victoria Fuller
I loved it. Dress. The.
Leia
The dress scene.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, my gosh. I can't. And then she's, like, running. I'm like, you're so slow. Pick up the pace. Then she has this, like, one line train. And I'm like, okay. And she cooked with that line.
Natalie
What was the line?
Victoria Fuller
I can't remember. It was just like. And I never want to live this life without you.
Natalie
That's what I said in. In. In my vows today. So unoriginal.
Victoria Fuller
Very unoriginal.
Leia
I choose you in every lifetime.
Victoria Fuller
Yes, yes, yes.
Natalie
Mine to Nick was, I love every version of you, and I would find you in every lifetime in the similar.
Victoria Fuller
Okay, yeah. So she did steal it from you. And she was at your wedding.
Nick
We did post it online.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah. And she did. She did steal that line. And then they go back to cousins. And it's where it all started, is where it Finishes and it's beautiful.
Natalie
What was what. What was this? I heard about, like, the other boys, like, random pop ups in Paris or something? It's like, fake.
Victoria Fuller
He was like, fake Jeremiah.
Leia
Yes. So they had Jeremiah go to Paris and they filmed a couple fake scenes to psych out the fans.
Victoria Fuller
I didn't know that. I've chosen Very smart.
Justin
I love that he's the hotter one.
Natalie
Like, they didn't actually film. They just made it seem like for fans, like, if they saw him filming in Paris and it was like, oh, yeah.
Victoria Fuller
Because obviously Conrad was there filming with Belly, so they had to, like, switch it up and not let anyone know what the ending was. So they brought Jeremiah too, which is smart.
Leia
Yeah, because people saw. People saw them filming. And so they posted like, BTS of.
Nick
Like, get into that.
Susie Evans
Conrad.
Leia
They posted BTS of Conrad and of. Of Jeremiah.
Natalie
So they psyched people out. I love it.
Victoria Fuller
And people solicit and found out that there was an intimacy coordinator in Paris. So we knew we were getting a sex scene.
Nick
They're going the whole mile.
Victoria Fuller
I have chills all over my body.
Natalie
There's a sex scene?
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Susie Evans
Natalie's only watching the finale.
Victoria Fuller
Was.
Natalie
Was there nudity or was it, like, part nude? What'd you see?
Victoria Fuller
You saw her back? Yes, but can we talk about the. The one hand taking off the bra? I was like, okay, Conrad Fisher, practice.
Leia
The one hand taking off the bra. And then also in the car when they were making out, when he, like, puts his hand against the window to protect her head from hitting it.
Nick
Wait, wait, is that. Is that like. Like, are you guys excited about the one hand taking off a bra?
Victoria Fuller
It's just Conrad Fisher.
Nick
Doesn't, like, every guy do that?
Victoria Fuller
No.
Nick
Have you ever had a guy be bad at taking off a bra?
Victoria Fuller
No.
Natalie
Is that something that y', all, like, go to training camp for?
Nick
They're like, I definitely think it's. I don't know. I don't know what the boys are doing to In. In.
Susie Evans
Put it on a pillow and wait.
Victoria Fuller
Ladies, have you ever had a bra that clasps in the front and then had a guy just freak out trying to figure it out in the back? Yes.
Natalie
No. But that's so fun.
Victoria Fuller
I wish.
Nick
Yeah, it's the one where it's like a three finger, one hand. You just kind of.
Chelsea Fry
Right.
Victoria Fuller
And they zoomed in.
Natalie
Or if you're in a sports bra.
Victoria Fuller
So I think they wanted us to be like, oh, Conrad, wow.
Mary
See, I've never had, like, bra issues having sex because.
Natalie
Mary, are you good at the bra snap.
Mary
Yeah, yeah, I know how bras work.
Susie Evans
I've got years of practice.
Mary
Yeah, the thing with gab was, like.
Nick
Unlike Mary's, like, bet you wonder how I learned to do that.
Justin
Wait, wait, speaking of stomach, I saw, like, a viral clip of, like, people were clowning her for knowing how to speak fluent French after being there for, like, one day, right?
Leia
Well, yeah, because a lot. There's a lot of crossover between people who are watching Emily in Paris and also people who are watching the Summer I Turned Pretty and the fact that Emily's been in Paris for years and still can't say anything. And then you have Belly, who's been there for, like, maybe less than a year, and she's just speaking fluent French. Her birthday party was just, like, full of people. Like, more friends than I've made in my 30 years of life.
Victoria Fuller
It was iconic.
Nick
Emily is so basic. She's just, like, not.
Victoria Fuller
She's not conforming to the culture.
Mary
Emily is realistic. Belly is aspirational, right?
Victoria Fuller
Oh, true. Yeah.
Nick
American of her.
Victoria Fuller
Very American of her.
Nick
So entitled.
Mary
Okay, speaking of aspirational, did you guys see that Brittany Bateman did a cameo where she sings Addison Ray's Diet Pepsi?
Victoria Fuller
I did see.
Nick
Guys, how much does Brittany Bateman charge for cameos?
Mary
Probably not enough for this, but it's.
Nick
That's public knowledge. We should be able to look that up.
Susie Evans
$49.
Mary
$49.
Natalie
49. Masterpiece.
Victoria Fuller
Wow.
Susie Evans
You could book a business video for 299, though.
Leia
I know what I'm getting Mary for her birthday.
Natalie
Sorry, is she driving while filming?
Victoria Fuller
No, literally, it's. It's concerning, guys.
Justin
There was someone who posted a video, like, it was just a fan that was in, like, Salt Lake City and caught Jared Osmond and Brittany riding a bird together, like, sharing it. They were, like, in full on. Like, I saw that.
Mary
I saw that.
Justin
I saw that giant jacket, like, popping off of it.
Susie Evans
I need the scooter.
Natalie
She in the front or the back?
Nick
She was in the front.
Justin
And he was, like, one foot on.
Victoria Fuller
Like, first.
Justin
Yeah, he was one foot on. And people were saying, this is real journalism.
Mary
Yeah, it was real journalism.
Nick
You know, a couple riding a scooter is, like, the unofficial LA hookup vibe.
Victoria Fuller
How would you know that?
Natalie
How many scooters did you ride?
Chelsea Fry
How would you know?
Mary
Lime scooters.
Susie Evans
You heard me.
Victoria Fuller
How many? Yeah, how many lime scooters?
Nick
I lived in Venice for a period of time.
Victoria Fuller
Tell us. I want to know.
Susie Evans
Oh, my goodness. Who was it?
Natalie
I only wrote on it once, so.
Victoria Fuller
Oh.
Nick
Then she got Some.
Victoria Fuller
Oh.
Natalie
Well, maybe we need to switch to a queen size bed. I don't know.
Susie Evans
Did you Hear about Matthew McConaughey revealing that that is the secret to his 13 year marriage with his wife Camilla?
Nick
I respect it.
Chelsea Fry
Yeah.
Natalie
Listen, we were just in Vegas for that fight with Netflix, and they put us. And they were like, okay, so it's a room with two queen beds. And at first I was like, two queen beds?
Victoria Fuller
Like, really? That's all you have?
Natalie
You don't have a king? Like, a king feels sexy, you know?
Nick
Like, we were like, we're married.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah. Do you know who we are?
Chelsea Fry
We're married.
Natalie
We sleep.
Victoria Fuller
You guys sleep in, like, separate beds?
Natalie
No. Nick literally got there, he's like, you want the left or right?
Victoria Fuller
I love that. Yeah.
Natalie
But we ended up sleeping in one together. And honestly, you are in love. You're so. You're so much closer.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, I like that, actually. I mean, I like it too.
Susie Evans
I don't think it's realistic, but, yeah, I could never.
Nick
I do like the Alps.
Natalie
She could never.
Nick
I like the option.
Victoria Fuller
Same.
Susie Evans
Like, anytime we've gone on an Airbnb, like, for like a friend's birthday or whatever, and we get the queen bed, I'm just like, Actually, you know what?
Nick
Hold. Stop the press. This just reminded me I had a dream about Brawn last night. What?
Susie Evans
Love that.
Mary
Tell more what happened.
Nick
It was like. I don't really. I'm literally remembering it in the moment, but I was at this party and it was like a party full of a bunch of people from my life. There are a couple people from high school there. I ran into Brawn was bartending. Oh, interesting.
Natalie
Allah. Well, that working.
Nick
And I feel like there was someone who I knew who was talking shit about Brawan, and I was like. Like I was defending our girl. That was it. I don't know. But she was.
Natalie
Was I there or no?
Victoria Fuller
Yes, she was for sure.
Nick
I'm 100%.
Natalie
I think I remember everyone from my life. Current wife wasn't there, so.
Nick
Of course you were there, sweetheart.
Natalie
Bronwyn, all the exes from high school.
Susie Evans
Was Andy Cohen there?
Nick
No, not that I remember.
Susie Evans
Well, because Andy Cohen's saying that he never wants to see Jen Shaw again.
Natalie
He did say that.
Nick
That's definitely giving. She's not coming back for other people. Like Justin, who keeps telling himself that she's going to come back the summer.
Justin
I mean, it's confirmed that I had a dream. It was confirmed. So it's happening.
Susie Evans
I couldn't be happier about it. To be honest. I don't think that she needs to have a platform.
Victoria Fuller
I agree.
Susie Evans
I hope she heals. I hope she's rehabilitated. I hope that she goes into an.
Leia
Honest line of work.
Justin
Did you see what her team posted from her Instagram?
Susie Evans
No, I have.
Mary
No, amazing.
Justin
Her team said from management, a respectful conversation has already been had with Bravo behind the scenes. And there are no hard feelings.
Susie Evans
Feelings getting ahead of the statement, AKA.
Nick
She'S not coming back to Bravo.
Mary
Huge news for Sierra and I.
Victoria Fuller
Yes.
Chelsea Fry
Yeah.
Susie Evans
Keep Salt Lake City fun again.
Mary
Yes.
Nick
Keep it safe. All right, well, it's time to get into a little housewives of O.C. but before we do, just a friendly reminder, we do have an amazing, amazing week lined up for you tomorrow for a very special Going Deeper. Teresa Giudice joins the show. This is an explosive episode. Obviously, we had so many questions about Teresa, One of the OGs of Just Housewives, period. Obviously, a lot of burning questions about her relationship with Bravo. Will she come back? Will she not? Obviously. Everything with her brother, her family, everything. Teresa spills all the tea. That is tomorrow. Yeah. She is on special forces with her daughter Gia.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick
And so obviously we talk about that as well.
Leia
Premiering this Thursday.
Nick
It's an episode you will not want to miss. Also on Thursday's episode of Reality Recap, we have Madison Pettis from the new Netflix hit movie the Wrong Paris, which is very like she's basically on the Bachelor. It's like a, it's a movie about a character who goes on a reality TV show. So for all you reality TV fans out there, you will definitely want to see that movie. And Madison Pettis, one of the stars of the movie, is with us for Thursday's Reality recap along with Chris Clemens. Return to the show. The hilarious Chris Clemens, who is a big fan and watching Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. He joins us as well, along with Alexia Napola from the Real Housewives of Miami. It's a jam packed week. A jam packed episode. That is all this week.
Natalie
And for all the people who want to share the reality TV hot takes, we have the Mint Mobile hotline. So if you want to hear us react to your flaming hot takes in a future episode of Reality Recap, all you have to do is call 1-855-MINT TLK or if you prefer the numbers, that's 855-646-8855 and leave us a voicemail. Again, just call 1-855-MINTTLK or 855-646-8855, and leave us a message. Now, if you missed the most recent episode of the Real Housewives of Orange county, here is your rapid recap. Shannon is still not sure if she can forgive Tamra, but down to hang in group settings where they're getting paid. Heather thinks her daddy issues are the reason she's friends with Tamara. Gretchen goes to the Pink Pony Club itself, the Abbey, which is crazy place to go if you have a history of being roofied. Emily's only storyline is still her son. The Bev Hills girls have a bougie sleepover. The Temecula girls bust out the dubrow joint and wear synchronized swimming hats with. With titty T shirts. Gina gets stoned and then tells Shannon she's worried about her drinking, which is maybe not the best thing to say if you're high. As Gretchen reveals, Slade has an audio recording of Tamara trying to make a pop song and also having sex. Emily is like, omg, why Slade so obsessed with Tamara? Gretchen also says she pays for everything in her relationship with Slade, and the ladies are curious about it, to say the least. Shannon reacts to her group trip limit with Tamara at breakfast. And speaking of breakfast, Emily wants her eggs over hard. Tamara brings up Shannon's dad's drinking problems on camera. Shannon snaps. Tamara calls Shannon an annoying bitch. And that's about it.
Nick
Question for the household. When a girly is the breadwinner in a relationship, why do we shame her for it? Like, why do the other ladies shame.
Natalie
I don't think it's about Gretchen being the breadwinner. I think it's deeper than that. I think. And Heather said this in her itm, she's like, why is he not on the mortgage? Like, why do we not want his name on anything? Why are you not legally married but you had a ceremony and you call each other husband and wife?
Susie Evans
Like, these are valid questions from season one. And then when he came back season three or four with Gretchen, he just. He's never had a job. He's always managed a housewife that's on the show. But it's like even his mom was on an episode being like, what? Like, you can't provide. Why would you propose to her?
Victoria Fuller
That's crazy.
Susie Evans
Yeah. So I'm like, he doesn't. We've never been clear with what Slade actually does. And this whole time that Gretchen was on the show, he was literally, like, setting up meetings and doing things for her. But even his mom was criticizing him not having a job. So I think it's fair, But I feel like they're just also bringing up an old storyline.
Natalie
So anytime Gretchen posts, like, brand deal, Slade, like, got that for her.
Susie Evans
I don't know if Slade got it for her. Like, that's what I'm saying. I don't know. I would assume that Gretchen has a legitimate team at this point.
Victoria Fuller
Right. He, like, you know, like, in the.
Mary
Beginning, maybe he's just her assistant. He, like, screens the emails.
Chelsea Fry
Yeah.
Susie Evans
But I'm like, that's kind of like what their point was, was that it's like, he's not. He should be contributing if he lives there.
Chelsea Fry
Yeah.
Natalie
Did y' all see Nick's comment on Alexis?
Nick
I got bullied into being messy online.
Natalie
Alexis. Y'.
Chelsea Fry
All.
Natalie
Y' all know Alexis Waters from next season?
Nick
Yeah, Shark girl.
Natalie
I've met her. We've DM'd. She's lovely. We have, like, on It's. It's besties between the two of us. But she posted, like, a clip of last night of her at a rose ceremony being like, move, bitches. When Nick called her name. And then she put in the comments. Do you miss me at Nick? And Nick responded with no iconic.
Victoria Fuller
Honestly, that's really good.
Natalie
And Alexis responded with just the emoji that's like this. The jaw dropped.
Victoria Fuller
It was great.
Nick
That's awesome.
Victoria Fuller
I love that.
Natalie
Anyways, I think that that should have been Emily's response when that man asked to pick her up at the Abbey.
Susie Evans
They kept playing that clip over and over again. They wanted us to see that. I know, but I also have to call out Emily because Emily's coming for Katie this season about, like, talking to bloggers, being a fan right before they walked into the Abbey or something. She's. She goes, well, Gretchen perform tonight. And Gretchen did a Pussycat doll's performance in, like, or five. I'm like, Emily long before Emily was on the show. So you mean to tell me you went back and watched the entire show and you're not a fan?
Mary
Oh, clock it.
Victoria Fuller
That's all you say.
Nick
Which of the OC Housewives are. Are with men who have real jobs?
Mary
Heather, Gina.
Natalie
Shane has a real job.
Victoria Fuller
It doesn't.
Nick
Yeah, Shane, he's a lawyer. Right.
Susie Evans
Gina is real estate.
Natalie
Katie, Eddie has a real job, doesn't he, or.
Nick
No, I think Eddie does. Yeah.
Susie Evans
I don't know what Eddie does now because they closed down the gym.
Justin
They. A cbd.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, the.
Susie Evans
Yeah, the gummies.
Mary
They're really good.
Natalie
Travis is doing the real estate with Gina.
Chelsea Fry
Right.
Justin
I feel like they all have jobs.
Natalie
Like, they all do Ryan, except Slade.
Justin
Well, he's bringing in the money.
Susie Evans
He has a hustle.
Nick
Slade, Ryan. And then what was last last season, Shannon's ex, Johnson.
Susie Evans
John Jansen. Did he have a real job suing housewives or facelifts?
Justin
Isn't. Wait, isn't Slay just doing what Jody with Lisa from Miami is doing, where he's just always there for all the business transactions.
Susie Evans
But it sounds Jody had, like, a real thing going, and if not, still does outside of managing Lisa. But I'm like, I don't know. I feel like if some people come into that role wanting to help out their partner, that's one.
Nick
What's Jody short for? I didn't know that Jody was a gender neutral name.
Mary
Jodothan.
Natalie
Yeah, I know. So I knew so many Jodies growing up.
Nick
Is that Southern thing?
Natalie
It's just Jody. I don't think it's short for anything.
Victoria Fuller
No, just Jody.
Natalie
Jodemaya.
Justin
Joseph.
Susie Evans
Just Jody.
Justin
Judith.
Mary
Judith.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, Judith.
Mary
Judith can be a man's name.
Natalie
Judith. Anything can be a man's name.
Mary
Judah. Judah.
Natalie
It was honestly, like, overall, I think it was a little bit of a boring episode of O.C.
Mary
Yeah.
Justin
I did love Gretchen playing Pillow Fight, though.
Mary
I like. I liked their little outfits.
Susie Evans
Well, and also, I think it also is just like a setup for what's happening, because it's like, there's no world in which Tamara and Gretchen are going to get along.
Nick
Yeah.
Justin
How are we not talking about the fact that Gretchen slipped in the. She cheated on her husband while trying to record a song and then flipped it on Emily?
Nick
And also in the state of California, I'm pretty sure that's illegal.
Susie Evans
What happened?
Nick
Each state has different laws about being recorded without your knowledge.
Natalie
She was recording a song. She was, like, in the studio, like, hey, everyone. Like, she was recording a song.
Nick
Yeah, but if you're.
Natalie
I think it was definitely she knew she was being recorded if she was.
Nick
In a studio when she was having sex.
Justin
Oh, well, they said they forgot, but then it was unclear whether it was one recording or two recordings, so I guess that could also change the context. But.
Susie Evans
And the SoundCloud recording of Tamra is circulating around right now on the Internet.
Nick
See, that doesn't seem right. That does not seem okay.
Susie Evans
SoundCloud, it doesn't include. Yeah, it's on SoundCloud, but it doesn't include the post. Yeah.
Nick
Wait, so there's no song? It's just Tamra panting.
Susie Evans
No, no, it's Tamra's song. But they don't. The SoundCloud clip doesn't have whatever Slade said was at the end of it. So we don't hear that part. So even then, Slade could literally be making this up because he hates Tamra.
Mary
Why is Slade so obsessed with Tamara?
Natalie
Slade is mad that she keeps bringing Joe around, so he's trying to get her back.
Susie Evans
No, there's, like, they've had a lot. She's called him a deadbeat dad. They have a long running feud. But, like, there was an episode in a season passed where, like, Slade did an entire comedy show based around Vicky and Tamara and called Tamara the Michelin Man. Pulled up a photo of her in a bikini. Like, he's. He. They've really.
Natalie
Yeah.
Susie Evans
Like, it's very dark and gross. They're like, history.
Justin
Gretchen also said that's like, lost money and, like, business deals because of Tamara.
Natalie
Like, I hate to use this word, but it's giving. Vile.
Susie Evans
But even then, Teddy what got on her podcast and was saying that there's pretty. That Tamara had nothing to do with Slade not losing money because we don't even know what Slade does. How is he losing money?
Justin
Right.
Susie Evans
Yeah.
Victoria Fuller
What's your job?
Nick
Losing Gretchen's money.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Natalie
And then Gretchen the next morning being like, guys, I didn't say that. I don't. Don't bring it up. Like, yeah, like.
Susie Evans
And you know that you said that on camera and you're trying to get the other girls to act like you didn't say it when you know it's going to come out anyways. And that's why I'm saying, I just feel like these two people, no matter how many times they're going to sit down and have a talk or like a come to Jesus moment, they will always be at each other's throats ready to throw something because it's like a never ending feeling.
Justin
The Gretchen was crazy that morning after when they were in the whole Foods, like, massage chair thing. And then she just happened to be like, you guys are being mean.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Chelsea Fry
You're picking on me.
Susie Evans
Like, you and she. Emily's like, I didn't force you to say anything.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick
What's. What's your favorite massage position? Table.
Susie Evans
Face down on a table.
Nick
I love a chair.
Victoria Fuller
Really? Like a straddle.
Chelsea Fry
Yeah.
Justin
But chair is giving. Like, public. It's giving mall.
Chelsea Fry
Yeah.
Justin
On display.
Nick
Do not care.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick
Do not care. Airplane.
Chelsea Fry
You don't like to lay down.
Nick
I will. But you just plop right in that chair. And it's so, like, it's ergonomic or whatever.
Natalie
Ergonomic.
Nick
Ergonomic.
Susie Evans
Your shirt on.
Nick
I mean, like, I let them go Underneath. If they want to.
Susie Evans
Oh, my God.
Chelsea Fry
If they want.
Nick
As long as they ask nicely.
Victoria Fuller
You're never traveling alone.
Natalie
I'm never traveling alone.
Nick
I don't even care. I do not care.
Justin
When's the last time you actually did a chair massage, Nick?
Nick
In the airport in Vancouver.
Natalie
Every time we left Vancouver, he was.
Nick
Like, we gotta get there in time for me to get a chair massage.
Justin
And you're not afraid of the germs because you don't like. Like, theme parks.
Nick
I don't care. I don't care. If it's a man, it's a woman. I don't care.
Natalie
Germaphobe.
Victoria Fuller
He just closes his eyes.
Susie Evans
When you put your face in that thing, you're not thinking about who else's face has been in there.
Nick
They cleanse it. I don't know.
Victoria Fuller
It's called soap. Or line it with, like, a toilet seat cover.
Chelsea Fry
Yeah.
Susie Evans
My Saran Wrap from home.
Nick
Oh, it's the best.
Victoria Fuller
I like to be on my back. And then when they do the clavicles, that's my fave. That's nice.
Susie Evans
And then, like, under the neck.
Justin
Under the neck.
Natalie
I think they need to focus more on your feet and hands.
Victoria Fuller
I agree.
Nick
I would like them to focus more on my chest.
Victoria Fuller
What is going on with you today?
Nick
My pectoral muscles are often tight. I'm not like, rub my titties.
Natalie
I wish they'd work on my dick more. Like, that's crazy thing to say. I will say the looks for Real House Fives of Miami reunion came out and they'd make anyone's dick hard. Everyone looked so good.
Mary
Yeah.
Nick
Speaking of Miami, I watched the Watch what Happens Live episode with Gretchen and Lisa. Did you and Larsa because. Well, for some reason, it was like. It was displayed as an episode of OC if you go to, like, Peacock and you go to all the episodes in OC, it's, like, listed. And I was like, okay, well, maybe. Maybe there's, like an Easter egg in there. I should watch it. It. First of all, it was just absolute bananas, the game they played. I don't watch a lot of what Watch what happens live. I know they play a lot of games, but they basically were like, guess the age of these housewives.
Susie Evans
Yeah.
Nick
And it was essentially a game just, like, basically outing every Housewives age, which I thought was bananas.
Victoria Fuller
I don't love that. Also, it's like, people are gonna.
Natalie
Didn't they all get it wrong, too?
Susie Evans
They got it wrong. And they kept giving Larsa points even though she got him wrong too. But it was like.
Natalie
It was.
Susie Evans
It was roughly like someone like Ashley Darby, who I knew was, like, in her late 30s, and they were, like, 45. And I'm like, that's.
Victoria Fuller
Come on.
Susie Evans
You know, it's not so about getting the ones that are older, younger. It's the ones that are younger and guessing them older.
Nick
Well, it's all because of, obviously, the episode with adriana and turning 59.
Chelsea Fry
Right?
Nick
And the whole, like, the cake thing. Well, first of all, Adriana, she looks fire.
Victoria Fuller
She looks so good.
Nick
Lisa Barlow's 46.
Justin
Don't shade her.
Natalie
Have we got. We haven't gotten a teaser or anything from Reunion. We just got reunion looks.
Justin
Just reunion looks. But they look hot.
Mary
Look really hot.
Nick
Hot.
Mary
Gertie's hot.
Justin
Kiki's hot. Wait, they all.
Natalie
Great.
Justin
The fact that Julia might be behind the birthday cake with the age.
Mary
No, it's Kiki.
Susie Evans
It was Kiki.
Justin
It wasn't confirmed, was it?
Victoria Fuller
Kiki was like, it's me. I did it.
Mary
I thought it would be funny. She was trying to, like, do, like, a little joke, and it didn't land.
Natalie
Well, if you missed the most recent episode of the Real Housewives of Miami, here is your rapid recap. It's Art Basel week, which is the Miami super bowl of art. The art in question, Kiki's face card. Also, Larsa is moving to a $5.7 million house with a giant gummy bear the front. She also thinks Todd is going to bamboozle Alexia. Julia's daughters aren't coming to Christmas. Martina is grumpy. Very, very grumpy. Lisa wants Jody to propose because she doesn't like the word girlfriend. Jody wants Lisa to go to therapy before he does that. Adriana is still mad about her birthday cake and wants to find out who wrote 59 on it. It was Kiki. She wasn't trying to be mean. Stephanie thinks Marisol hates her, and she might be right, but also she might be wrong. One thing we do know, there is nothing tacky about Stephanie Sojay. Julia feels like Adriana is pushing her away and no fun anymore. Adriana then decides to tell everyone out of nowhere that she's not racist. Call back to wretched Ratchet gate. Kiki is like, I literally am not dealing with this right now. And dips. Adriana is mad at Julia for defending Kiki over her. Who knows where we'll go from here.
Nick
The hero of the episode, was it Carol? Was her name. Adriana's friend who was like, ratchet's for everybody.
Justin
The designer. Oh, yeah, she was saying wretched, though.
Mary
Wretched.
Nick
Yeah, whatever. She was the hero of the episode.
Victoria Fuller
I feel like everyone's confused on that.
Justin
Nobody knows the difference.
Victoria Fuller
I feel like everyone's confused, like, watching this show, it's like every time it comes out of their mouth, I'm like, I still don't know if she knows that there's two different words. Slash, what are people hearing? It feels very confusing.
Mary
Yeah.
Susie Evans
Again with that accent. And she says a lot of words wrong that I'm just kind of like, for this to be the thing we're jumping down Adriana's throat.
Mary
That's hard.
Nick
Yeah.
Justin
If I were Kiki, though, I would have also left.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Mary
Because it's like we're bringing this up again.
Nick
Was it Lisa talking to Stephanie about the plane again?
Susie Evans
Marisol. Marisol talking to Stephanie.
Nick
Turns out Marisol Bell's big reason why she wants to go on the plane is to poop on it.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah. She wants to break the rules.
Nick
I just like, private plan or not like that. Definitely not a goal of mine.
Susie Evans
Oh, we. I think you missed. In the after show, Stephanie tells us that she.
Chelsea Fry
Her.
Susie Evans
Her glam team, she makes them not eat for two days before they go on the plane so that they don't.
Nick
I respect that.
Victoria Fuller
Wait. Oh, my God.
Susie Evans
Starvation.
Natalie
She makes them not eat. I feel like.
Susie Evans
Yeah, she says, like, dumb.
Nick
I'm pretty sure that's not true, but I do appreciate she said that's what she says.
Victoria Fuller
But was that, like, one of the rules that you couldn't.
Susie Evans
You can't poop on the plane because the toilet paper. Yeah, she's like, some people know how to wipe, and some people use the entire roll, and that clogs up the toilet, and that's expensive to fix.
Nick
Imagine being midair and having a plumbing issue.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, my gosh.
Chelsea Fry
Can we not?
Nick
Well, up next, Chelsea Fry joins the show. She's also a big fan of the Salt Lake City gals of Bravo. Lots to talk about with Chelsea, including her appearance in the new pitch show the Paper. That is up next. And following Chelsea, we have Mark Estes. You know him as the one of the Montana boys and former lover of Kristen Cavalieri. That was aggressive. Anyways, Chelsea's next.
Natalie

Nick
Chelsea welcome to the show.
Chelsea Fry
Thank you for having me.
Nick
We're so excited to have you. Absolutely loving you on the paper. It's become mine and Allie's, like, new kind of, like, going to bed show.
Natalie
Like, we get in the bed and we immediately put on the paper. It's so fun.
Nick
The Office was a show that we binged in bed.
Natalie
We did, like, Arrested Development.
Nick
We did Curb youb Enthusiasm, Seinfeld.
Natalie
You know, we did. We did all those, and now we're on the paper, and it's been so much fun. What was it like shooting this?
Chelsea Fry
It was a dream. I mean, I'm this. I grew up watching the Office, like, literally, probably from, like, the end of my high school years on. I mean, it was the show that I, like, binged on Sundays in my dorm room, hungover with all my friends. Like, it's just been, like, in my life for forever, so. So when I found out I was auditioning for it, like, I kind of knew it was in the world of the Office. I didn't totally. Oh, here comes my dog. Sorry, Jerry.
Victoria Fuller
Come on in.
Chelsea Fry
We have a big dog.
Victoria Fuller
Jerry Lee. You wanna come in?
Nick
Jerry Lee?
Natalie
We want Jerry Lee.
Chelsea Fry
This is Jerry Lee.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, hi, Bubba. Hi.
Chelsea Fry
I knew he was gonna get back from his hike just in time.
Victoria Fuller
Look at him.
Chelsea Fry
There he is.
Nick
We got Jeff and Steve here.
Chelsea Fry
Jeff and Steve?
Nick
Yeah, that's Jeff. That's right here on the ground.
Chelsea Fry
Jeff. Steve and Jerry feel like they could get into a lot of trouble together.
Nick
They really could. They're just thick as thieves. Yeah.
Chelsea Fry
Anyway, yeah, so I found out. It was, like, when I was auditioning for it, it was kind of like, it's in the world of the Office. We didn't totally know what it was. I'm glad I did it, because once I knew it was the scariest thing ever. But then, you know, just realizing how amazing everybody from the original is and, you know, just everybody they got was so incredible, but in particular, Greg Daniels and Michael Coleman just made it feel so. Like, it's okay. You're allowed to be here. We're making our own thing.
Nick
Did you have a chance to talk with any of the actors from the original Office? Obviously, we know Oscar is in it. You know, he's the kind of the one thread between the Office and the paper. Paper. But just wondering. Yeah. If you had a chance to, like, just, you know, pick any brains of for the people who did the Office. Or is that something you just kind of wanted to keep separate and kind of have the paper be its own thing.
Chelsea Fry
Two things, definitely. One, kind of keep it separate and be like, we're not trying to do what they did. It's too perfect and iconic. And I would never want to, you know, be compared to it, like, you know, as like a one to one. But the first. First day, I think it was like a hair and makeup test, and it was Sabrina Donal and I in the hair and makeup trailer, and we were just, like, gabbing and, like, I had, like, you know, like, eye patches on whatever that we're figuring out our looks. And the trailer door opens and John Krasinski and Steve Carell walk in and we're all just like. It was just so. It was like 5am I was like, what? No, please don't do this. It was like, literally, like, nightmare. I just, like, look inside. And they were shooting a commercial on the lot and they both worked with Donal and adore him and just came in and surprised us and were so sweet. It was insane. Like, literally couldn't have been nicer. And, you know, they. They. We told them we were like, we're so nervous. Like, we just don't want to be compared to what you did. And they both were just saying, like, they went through the exact same thing with the office, it being, you know, rebuilding boot of the UK office and how you kind of just have to let it be your own thing. And then John kept, like, asking me.
Natalie
He'S like, what do you put in your desk?
Chelsea Fry
Like, you have to, like, put, like, fun things, like, in your desk. And I hadn't even thought about that yet. And I was like, oh, that's a good idea. And you do. You get to, like, put so many fun little things in there that you can, like, keep.
Natalie
What did you put in yours?
Chelsea Fry
I put food, which then I did get in trouble for because Universal has, like, a raccoon problem. Oh. Which I didn't know.
Nick
Of course I do.
Victoria Fuller
Yes.
Nick
Yes. Yeah. How did you not know that already, Chelsea?
Chelsea Fry
I know, I know, and I. I apologize. And literally, they, like. I remember, like, I was so excited. Like, put, like, all, like, my favorite snacks. Like, I, like, stole from Crafty and, like, put them in there, because you don't. That is, like, the one kind of cool thing about the show is, like, you don't. You kind of just are working at a desk all day. Like, you don't leave a lot because you're in the background of so many scenes. So I, like, filled it up with, like, all my favorite snacks and Then like, I remember Monday morning, they were like, no more food on set. There's raccoons. I was like, that wasn't me who did.
Natalie
Like, it's Joe's fault. He told me to put things in my.
Chelsea Fry
Exactly, yeah. And you have to have Internet on your computer. That is something they told me to make sure I had and I did, and it was crucial.
Nick
Oh, so like, while people are doing scenes, you're out there just like doom scrolling.
Natalie
Yeah, yeah.
Chelsea Fry
I'm just like, I'm on Etsy. I'm on Revolve. You know, I'm just like. Well, because he told me that Jenna Fisher used to answer fan mail. Like, she would like, literally be on her computer, like on MySpace answering fan mail. And we obviously didn't have fans, so I was like, I'm not gonna go look for. Look for our non existent fans. But no, it was like, you can kind of just get stuff done while you're on there, which is kind of fun.
Natalie
How did you find out the news that you were renewed for a second season before the first even came out?
Chelsea Fry
I woke up late. I think we had some press thing the night before, and I remember I woke up to a bunch. It was, you know what, it was actually night the embargo was lifting on reviews. You kind of like, know when those are coming out. And I think we're all really nervous and, you know, again, like, so proud of the show, just scared of the comparisons to what came before. And I remember Jodal and I were like, texting like late that night before, being like, you know, whatever happens, I've had so much fun. Like, we've had a great time and we're so proud of what we did. And then I woke up to a bunch of congratulations and I was like, what happened? And we're renewed. So that's how I found out.
Nick
How has the response been now that the show is out and people are really enjoying it? Is it. Do you or do you feel like it's. People are kind of gradually getting into it more?
Chelsea Fry
It's been overwhelming. It's been really so great. And I think it's just, you know, we shot it like over a year ago, so it's cool to kind of like revisit it and see what people are responding to and things like, I don't even remember and. And yeah, it's been really, really cool.
Nick
You guys are like a reality TV couple who found love on TV and had to hide their relationship for an entire year before they could tell people that they were in Love?
Chelsea Fry
Yeah, kind of a little bit. Well, yeah. And that was the other thing. It's, like, very not wanting people to know anything. Even, like, Oscar, he would be on set and it was kind of hidden for, like, six months, and then it got leaked. But I remember, like, he would, like, walk out and universal trams would, like, pass our line, and I would just, like, kind of, like, get in front of him. He was, you know, you just didn't want people, like, spoiling anything. But, yeah, it's been. It's been so, so fun for people to kind of meet all these characters.
Natalie
Is it true that you're, like, obsessed with Pilates?
Chelsea Fry
I mean, it is kind of true. I do love Pilates.
Natalie
Well, it's girlies here. Well. And I do have to just, like, talk to you about something, because. Have you ever been. And you're probably the Victoria in this story, so I'm gonna tread lightly.
Victoria Fuller
I'm Victoria.
Nick
Okay?
Natalie
This is my best friend, Victoria. She's an everydayer.
Chelsea Fry
Yes, sure, sure. Okay.
Natalie
You know the type. So she was like, come to Pilates with me. Like, it's so fun. It'll be so chic. We'll get, like, a coffee after. It'll be so cute. So I went with her, right? I did. We got, obviously, reformers next to each other.
Victoria Fuller
Of course.
Natalie
Of course. As you do. And we're going, we're going. And I'm, like, feeling kind of good, you know? I'm like, okay. I feel like I'm, you know, kind of easy. And then we really get into it, and the instructor's like, you know, she's like, keep dipping. Keep dipp. Dipping.
Chelsea Fry
And lower, lower, lower.
Natalie
I'm like, I can't get any lower than this. And I look to Victoria, and she's like, what's wrong? And she's, like, not even breathing heavy. Like, just absolutely nightmare, right? Nightmare. Okay?
Chelsea Fry
Nightmare.
Natalie
So I will never be returning to this Pilates studio with her. Because it was like, I don't need that.
Victoria Fuller
No.
Chelsea Fry
Well, here's what. Here's what I'll tell you.
Victoria Fuller
Okay?
Chelsea Fry
I would. I would never do Pilates with somebody else. You cannot. You cannot do that.
Victoria Fuller
You can't do that.
Chelsea Fry
That's like rule one of Pilates. I have had.
Victoria Fuller
It's actually. It's so true.
Chelsea Fry
No, I have. Yeah. My Pilates instructor, Caroline Citelli, she's amazing. In la, we met somebody, like, hooked me up with her at the beginning of the Pandemic. They were like, oh. She's doing online classes. It has now been five years since 2020, we do Pilates together. Like, at least a few. I probably do it, like, two to three times a week when I'm being good. Yeah. Like, the past couple weeks, I've been like, what? She's like, where did you go? I was like, I will be back soon. But we have now done Pilates together, like, two to three times a week. And you get so close. Like, I don't know if, like, personal trainer. I've never done that before. Like, you get so close with them. Like, you talk about everything. We have never met in person. Like, I'm not kidding. I. I've been with her through her marriage, her. Now they have a baby. Like, we have. Like, I have moved.
Victoria Fuller
Moved.
Chelsea Fry
So much has happened in our lives, and we have never met in person.
Victoria Fuller
That's kind of insane.
Chelsea Fry
And we, like, joke. We're like, you're my best friend, but, like, if I ever saw you in person, I think I'd scream around and.
Victoria Fuller
Rock the other direction.
Nick
Would you even stop to say?
Chelsea Fry
We were, like, supposed to meet once, and we, like, canceled it. We, like, got too nervous. It's, like, the weirdest. It's, like, crazy.
Nick
You're like, what if you're not real?
Chelsea Fry
And she told me the other day, she's like, how tall are you? And I was like, I'm like, I'm tall. I'm, like, 5 8. And she's like, I'm 5 4. I was like, that is what. Like, I thought. He was, like, my same height. Like, I'm gonna meet you and be towering. It's just. I'm just.
Nick
You guys are talking as if, like, you couldn't possibly be friends in the real world.
Chelsea Fry
We also used to live two blocks from each other up until, like, two years ago. Literally lived a few blocks.
Natalie
You find out she's just AI.
Chelsea Fry
That's what I'm scared of. She knows all my secrets.
Nick
So when you're. When you're not being an actor and honing on your craft, rumor on the street is you watch Little Housewives.
Chelsea Fry
I do watch Little Housewives. Wives.
Natalie
What's your favorite?
Chelsea Fry
So I am really, like, only. And let me just say this, by the way, because I'm. I'm. I'm not like, the biggest reality TV person. When I, like, you know, I've just. This is like, my first kind of, like, press tour, Whatever. When my friends found out I was going on the Bio Files, brains, they.
Susie Evans
Were like, you made it. You made, like.
Chelsea Fry
So let me just say, like, this is huge for. This is huge club for me, with all my friends.
Victoria Fuller
Friends.
Natalie
Shout out friends.
Chelsea Fry
Shout out my friends. I meant to say that earlier, but anyway, yes. I really. I'm only really watching Salt Lake City, which, in my opinion, is. I mean, the best.
Susie Evans
It's enough.
Victoria Fuller
It's enough.
Natalie
It's more than enough for me.
Nick
Like some of the other franchise, it's labor, and this is a labor of love for Salt Lake City. For me.
Natalie
If.
Chelsea Fry
Okay, if you were gonna. If I was gonna to introduce one other one into my. Into my canon, what. Which one would you suggest?
Natalie
I would probably say O.C.
Nick
Yeah.
Chelsea Fry
Okay.
Natalie
Oh, Atlanta is also really good, though.
Chelsea Fry
I think I watched, like, the first season of Atlanta and then a long.
Justin
Long time ago, watch Dubai. It's only two seasons o Dubai.
Victoria Fuller
That sounds good.
Susie Evans
I'm like, Orange county, you got a lot, a lot to watch, and it's pretty insane because it goes back so far. I'd also say if you like Salt Lake City, I don't know, early Miami is fun.
Justin
Or ultimate girls trip and decide who you like from those seasons.
Susie Evans
That's the best way to do it.
Chelsea Fry
Do the ultimate. I'm literally writing this down. Ultimate girl story.
Natalie
And then pick your favorite housewife and watch their season.
Nick
Yes.
Chelsea Fry
Okay. Amazing.
Victoria Fuller
Amazing.
Susie Evans
That's genius, Justin.
Chelsea Fry
Yeah, I'm. I'm finishing up season five right now because I need to catch up to season six of Salt Lake. And I just watched Meredith's Bat Mitzvah, which was a very special day for Mary. Banging on the glass was, like, maybe my favorite thing I.
Natalie
Do you feel like Brittany Bateman deserves a snack? Snowflake?
Chelsea Fry
I'm not sure yet.
Victoria Fuller
Okay.
Chelsea Fry
I'm not sure. I'm like, I'm liking the. The energy she's bringing. Does she get one in season six? I don't know.
Natalie
Still friend of.
Nick
Maybe. It's just like, them, the producers being evil geniuses. Because Britney does seem like the type if you. If you really keep her motivated. She'll keep giving.
Chelsea Fry
She will keep giving.
Natalie
Yeah.
Nick
Yeah. She might get lazy if you give her a snowflake.
Chelsea Fry
Sure. I'm interested to see if, like, I'm like, I almost don't want you to give it away. Like, what's up with her and Jared Osmond? I don't like. I'm kind of, like, trying to stay where I'm at so I can then honest.
Natalie
I think it's still up for debate. They were just seen on a lime scooter together, so.
Nick
No.
Chelsea Fry
To be on a lime scooter together, that's the ultimate dumois. If I'm ever on a lime scooter.
Victoria Fuller
On Dupont, like, literally, that's Turn my house down, please.
Susie Evans
Truly.
Natalie
Chelsea Fries seen on lime scooter with Michael Delight, Jared with Jerry Lee with Jared Austin. It's crazy.
Chelsea Fry
Wow. Have you guys ever ridden a lime scooter together?
Natalie
Did we?
Chelsea Fry
Yeah.
Natalie
Oh, yeah. We just talked about this. Nick was like, if you. Would you say you definitely were hooking up?
Nick
If you're in Venice and you see a guy and a girl on a. On a scooter, it's. It's probably a first date and they're definitely hooking up.
Chelsea Fry
That is so true.
Victoria Fuller
It's a lot of trust.
Chelsea Fry
I can confirm that. Living in Venice, lot a lot, a lot of sexual attention on those lime scooters.
Natalie
Which housewife do you feel like from Salt Lake City would do best in the paper unit universe?
Chelsea Fry
My God, Honestly, Brittany, you know, I feel like I can see a face off between Mary and Esmeralda in a really exciting way.
Natalie
So good.
Victoria Fuller
That's so good.
Nick
Like, yeah, Mary would absolutely just, like, read Esmeralda and, like, say something really off putting about, like, her fashion or something.
Chelsea Fry
Yes, yes. I see them. Like, I see their fat. Like, yeah, that. Those two going head to head seems very, very fun for me. Wow, that's a fun idea idea, isn't it? We gotta pitch that.
Susie Evans
That's a second season.
Chelsea Fry
Two in the room, please.
Natalie
Get Mary in there immediately.
Nick
Well, yeah, that's funny because Als Morales character was based off of, like, someone who was, what, naked in her. What was she allegedly on? She was like, oh, married at first sight.
Natalie
Married at first sight.
Nick
Yeah.
Chelsea Fry
Yes, yes. Or Farmer wants a wife. No, I think married at first sight.
Nick
Yeah, one of the. One of those shows.
Chelsea Fry
Yeah.
Nick
I do want to see some more crossover. Well, because you're the paper. You guys are on peacocks. You. Maybe we will get some, like, Housewives Bravo crossover.
Chelsea Fry
You would think. Wouldn't that be the dream?
Nick
Like, it'd be kind of great, like, if all of a sudden you guys were at work and all of a sudden you're, you know, you're on a.
Natalie
Lunch break and like, they're filming Real Housewives or something.
Nick
Yes. They're filming across the street. Yes.
Chelsea Fry
Don't even.
Natalie
Esmeralda is like, oh, my God, this is my moment. And she, like, you know, she's like.
Nick
I'm one of you guys.
Chelsea Fry
It makes sense with her because, like.
Natalie
That'S where it's writing itself, people.
Victoria Fuller
And you're welcome. Get on board.
Natalie
Do we have a Game, Mary.
Chelsea Fry
We do.
Mary
Oh, we do have a little game.
Chelsea Fry
What's the game?
Mary
Okay.
Nick
Okay.
Mary
Welcome to the game of all games. It's called not safe for work. And it's some like rapid fire, you know, office related questions. So we're gonna ask you. Chelsea, are you ready?
Chelsea Fry
Yeah.
Nick
Okay, great.
Natalie
What is your biggest ick for a co worker?
Chelsea Fry
Biggest ick for a co worker? Somebody loud. Loud. We used to get so mad. Alex Edelman like literally had this. I don't even know what it's called. He just like thought it was funny to have like the loudest toys ever on his desk. And he would like, it would be like a marble that would like clink, like clink, clink, clink, clink. And like once you put it in, it would go for like 10 minutes and it was like. We were all like, oh, that's funny at first, Alex. And then we were like, if you.
Victoria Fuller
Do that again, I'll kill you.
Chelsea Fry
Yeah, be quiet.
Natalie
What is the most annoying thing you've ever had a co worker do?
Chelsea Fry
I had. Okay, so I like worked at a startup like in New York a million years ago where I like ran a front desk at like this work place.
Nick
It was like we like director of first impressions.
Chelsea Fry
Yeah, yeah, exactly. And I'm worst one ever. So they. I remember my boss came in and.
Victoria Fuller
She was like, hi, Chelsea. I was like, more morning.
Chelsea Fry
And we had to. I had to get up like 5am and like set up the space, whatever. She goes and sits like, I'm not kidding, five feet away from me and slacks me and is like, hey, Chelsea, smiley face. So you've mainly been doing a really good job, but we'd appreciate it if you could stop wearing your pajamas to work. Like, we'd like for like people to like look a little like nicer when like they, you know, you are the front of house. I was like, is she kidding? And then I looked. I remember like literally looking down, being like, honestly, she has a fair point. Like, I couldn't. I like literally was in full sweatpants.
Nick
But the fact that she said hi, couldn't tell you in person. Went to slack to message.
Chelsea Fry
Well, that's what I mean. I'm like, that was the. That's why it was so annoying. It was like, just say it to me. Say it. Say it to my face.
Natalie
Like, you can see her. You can see her writing to you.
Nick
You're like, hello, that would be a great paper. She scene. That would be.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, that's a scene.
Natalie
Which email sign off feels the most passive aggressive to you best.
Chelsea Fry
I was just about to say I. I don't like best.
Natalie
Yeah, I feel like warm regard.
Victoria Fuller
Warm regard.
Natalie
I would.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, I hate it. Warm regard.
Nick
Anything abbreviated warm.
Victoria Fuller
Yes, it's. It's giving cold. What do you guys sign off with?
Susie Evans
Yeah, like, I thought best was.
Victoria Fuller
I do. Yeah.
Susie Evans
Oh, my God.
Victoria Fuller
I use best all the time. Oh, my God.
Natalie
I'm.
Victoria Fuller
I'm a. Thanks.
Nick
Mine is. Is this. Even when I'm on a laptop, It's. This was sent from an iPhone. Sorry for my typos.
Victoria Fuller
It's actually genius.
Susie Evans
He said I'm on the go.
Chelsea Fry
I like that. I feel like I'm too, like, I'm like, xoxoxo love you so much. Like, I get like, so stressed.
Victoria Fuller
You're having the best day ever.
Chelsea Fry
Like, think I like, love them. And it's like, way too. It's just like, weird.
Natalie
I definitely send way too many exclamation points.
Chelsea Fry
Like, no worries. If not.
Victoria Fuller
Same.
Mary
I won't send an email with per your request request. And the person I emailed got really mad at me. I could tell via email.
Nick
I could tell the energy request is very like, that's direct.
Victoria Fuller
I was being a.
Susie Evans
It's. I don't want to do this, but because you asked here.
Chelsea Fry
Oh, I get it.
Mary
It was per your request.
Chelsea Fry
Just don't get a lot of per year. Like, I'm like, what? Yeah, I'm like, yeah, per year emailing.
Nick
You for fun.
Natalie
To say that I had to write my emails today. Would you rather deal with the loud chewer or the oversharer in the cupboard cubicle next to you?
Chelsea Fry
Overshare.
Natalie
That's, you know, overshare is fun. Like, give me all the tea in your life.
Victoria Fuller
True.
Susie Evans
There's stuff to go home with.
Chelsea Fry
We would get like, so bored on not. I mean, we were. We were working, but it was like, there's so much downtime because you're always just like shooting different scenes. And my favorite days were when, like, Oscar would just come over to my desk and he like, we would like, pretend to be like, working in the back of a scene and we would just like, gossip for hours.
Natalie
Oh, my God, that's so fun. If your character had to write an opinion column, what would it be about?
Chelsea Fry
I feel like a really durable shoe. I feel like she'd be like, very excited about, like, like a shoe that, you know, is good for hiking, good for day to day, doesn't get worn down. I feel like she likes very practical.
Nick
Yeah.
Natalie
Fashion pieces. Waterproof, good for hikes, good for city slickers.
Chelsea Fry
Yeah.
Natalie
Which buzzword or corporate jargon phrase instantly makes you cringe?
Chelsea Fry
I've been hearing. Okay, I don't even know what this means, but have you been hearing about, like, the verticals or whatever? I sound like such an idiot.
Victoria Fuller
No. What is it? I don't know. Keep going.
Chelsea Fry
Am I making this up? Don't make me keep going.
Nick
No, like your category. I. I come from corporate America.
Natalie
What's the verticals like?
Nick
Your segment, like your, Your team, like.
Chelsea Fry
Your, like, vertical integration or something?
Victoria Fuller
What is it talking about?
Mary
Is it like there's so many different types of integration you guys.
Nick
Well, isn't that like you're. You're like. Like marketing would be one vertical and. And right. Or am I wrong?
Chelsea Fry
Sure. I'm telling you. I don't know. But I like, I hear vertical integration and my eyes.
Natalie
And you're out.
Susie Evans
It's a business strategy where a company gains control over multiple stages of its production and distribution process rather than relying on external suppliers and buyers.
Chelsea Fry
Genius.
Nick
Yeah.
Chelsea Fry
I should be a CEO.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Mary
All I know about vertical integration is they talked about it in 30 Rock and I was like, I know better business.
Natalie
If you were in Entertainment, what 9 to 5 job would you be at?
Chelsea Fry
Anywhere I could have a label maker. I like, do love.
Natalie
So fun.
Chelsea Fry
I love organizing things. I love. Yeah, I'm a scrapbook. Not scrap. Scrapbooking, not scrapbook.
Victoria Fuller
Nobody has time for that.
Chelsea Fry
It's so funny you say that though, because, like, I did used to scrapbook when I was like, a kid.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, we.
Chelsea Fry
We've lost that art form, haven't we?
Natalie
You could bring it back.
Chelsea Fry
I could bring it right on back. But yeah, I just like, I like, I love the idea. Yeah. My. My mom was a secretary at a construction company for like 30 years and like, she just is so good at, like, files and get like, every. And I was that. I would love that.
Natalie
Okay.
Nick
And that wraps up the game.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Chelsea Fry
Did I win the game?
Natalie
You won.
Victoria Fuller
You won.
Nick

Big things ahead for you for sure. Where can people find you, follow you any you want to plug, promote any of that fun stuff other than the paper?
Chelsea Fry
Chelsea Fry, Cross the board. I think I just haven't. I think I just have an Instagram.
Nick

Nick
Because we talked to her virtually.
Victoria Fuller
So.
Mary

Natalie

Leia
When we decide to mutually ignore each other.
Victoria Fuller
Yes. We're minding our own business. You know, me and Natalie just see each other out. We just like, don't make eye contact.
Nick

Mark, welcome to the show.
Mark Estes
Thanks for having me guys.
Nick
We're excited to have you man. My fellow special forces recruit. Hell yeah.
Mark Estes
Here go we we go.
Nick
We'll definitely talk some special forces but we want to get to know you a little bit more. Obviously you made some waves. I don't know how long, how long have you been famous? I guess when did the Montana boys really pop on TikTok.
Mark Estes
Yeah, famous is a crazy word.
Nick
I'll call you famous. You don't have to call yourself what is famous days but people know who you are outside of like your family, you know.
Mark Estes
Yeah. We started back in college probably two and a half years ago.
Nick
Okay.
Mark Estes
And it wasn't really like popping off at first. Like, we'd post maybe like once a month and, you know, it would go. But we didn't really care because we still had to graduate school and we're playing football. And then it was our senior year, so that was about a year and a half ago. We started taking it pretty serious and posting more. And then that was kind of like our long term goal is when we graduate, we're just gonna hop in a truck and drive down the Nashville and see what we can do.
Natalie
Was there one of y' all in particular who was like, I feel like this, this could be bigger than what we're making it. We need to, like, hunker down.
Mark Estes
Yeah, honestly, it was. It was Caleb and Kade, honestly, that were especially Cade. He was like, he really wanted. Yeah, I just had.
Natalie
It was like, everyone love me.
Susie Evans
What now? Okay.
Nick
Yeah. I was like, so wait, are you living in Nashville?
Mark Estes
Actually, I just. I was there for the year and a. For the last year and a half, but I just moved out. I'm building a house with my brother in Montana and then I float here with my girlfriend. So I lost my Virginia.
Nick
Need a girl from Montana.
Natalie
Did you really love her?
Susie Evans
And girlfriend?
Victoria Fuller
Hello.
Mark Estes
Where is she from?
Nick
Bozeman? No, Missoula. Missoula, Montana?
Mark Estes
No, Missoula, Montana.
Victoria Fuller
Shout out.
Natalie
You got him at his prime. It's been downhill since then.
Mark Estes
That's funny, actually.
Victoria Fuller
That's crazy.
Natalie
So you're currently dating Summer Rae. Yes, you are. Do you realize, I don't know if you were in the wave of Sommer Rae when Sommer Rae was, like, waving, but do you realize how iconic she is?
Mark Estes
Yeah, I do.
Nick
Yeah.
Mark Estes
Yeah, I understand the magnitude of her for sure.
Nick
Is your master plan to. And I say this with all jokes just to date. You know, you're. You're. You've become famous, but you're like, I'm going to date women more famous than me? Because. Is that a way to, like, humble yourself?
Mark Estes
I don't know if that's my master plan, but just kind of how it worked out, I guess.
Nick
I.
Mark Estes
We just met Stagecoach and the sparks were flying and so we just kept rolling with it.
Nick
Who noticed? Who? Like, was it like, oh, that's Summer Ray, or was she like, oh, that's.
Mark Estes
Oh, I DM her. Before you slid in the DMs. Yeah, like, that's how we met. Oh, no, no.
Nick
What was your line?
Mark Estes
I don't remember. Honestly, I might have to.
Nick
We can look it up.
Natalie
Yeah, I'm sure you have to scroll.
Victoria Fuller
A long ways back.
Mark Estes
Yeah. Let's see.
Natalie
Be here scrolling. See, you had DM'd her and y' all chatted before Stagecoach. And then at Stagecoach, you actually.
Nick
It's like, kind of like, hey, are you going to St. Coach? I'm going to Stagecoach, Right?
Mark Estes
Yeah. And then it was funny, though, because we were actually staying at, you know, like, the brands do, like, a big house with people, and we're actually staying at the same one.
Natalie
So it worked out, like, just happens to.
Nick
Shut up, Patron. Okay.
Mark Estes
I said you're something else with, like, the.
Victoria Fuller
It's kind of like.
Nick
Yeah, that's what my wife was like.
Natalie
You'Re on your own real.
Nick
You don't have to overthink it. You just basically say something nice, you know?
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick
What? Like when. Like, what is a Montana of boy? Like, is it.
Mark Estes
It's starting to change a lot. But at first it was definitely just, they're strapping on Tick Tock, you know, with like, three songs. That's all we had in our. In our belt.
Nick
Okay.
Natalie
There's a lot of, like, people who, like, try to copy, you know, or mock you guys. You know, y' all are a little like the. I think it was. I'm one number away. Maybe that was like, one of y' all songs that everyone kind of started, like, doing. The Montana Boys, like, walk up and sing and, like, circle around or whatever. Did y'.
Nick
All.
Natalie
Was that just something that, like, happened? You know, we're like, let's just.
Mark Estes
Yeah, that's something that just. We were.
Natalie
You're like, I'm gonna sing this part. You get that part.
Mark Estes
And then it just went. And then we just kept doing it and.
Nick
Yeah. I don't know.
Mark Estes
It's crazy, honestly, because it's not like it's a dance. People say it's like a dance, but it's really not. We're just like.
Susie Evans
It's really.
Natalie
It's just a little lip thing.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick
Finger like a hot men. Just kind of.
Susie Evans
Whose idea was it to thirst trap.
Victoria Fuller
To, like, sad song.
Nick
That.
Susie Evans
I don't know.
Mark Estes
We were country. Country kids, so we just love country music and.
Nick
I don't know. As a college football fan, I couldn't help but notice that Alabama had a tough opening week. And then I saw some clips of some of the football players from various college football teams. These D1 athletes, they were doing what seemed to be some Montana boys.
Mark Estes
Were they really Tik Toks?
Nick
And people seemed to be frustrated. It's just like men used to go to war. Yeah. It's like, you know, this is why you're losing 40 to 13. Does it seem like you're hard in it? Do you guys feel like you've changed college football?
Natalie
Do you feel like you're responsible for.
Nick
Alabama for the fall of Alabama?
Mark Estes
I'd like to think so.
Nick
I like to think, honestly, I'm not.
Mark Estes
A Tide fan, so I'd like to think that. But that is funny.
Nick
Poor Eagle.
Natalie
Yeah, poor Eagle.
Mark Estes
I think that was nil, though, probably, if I had to really think about it.
Natalie
Okay, so I feel like we have to, obviously, get into Kristin Cavallari. That was. I mean, I know in all respect to Sommeire, of course, but we have to. I feel like we have to dive into that a little bit. Did you all meet the same way on social media?
Mark Estes
Yes.
Natalie
Okay.
Mark Estes
I'm gonna not talk a lot about it, but just because. Because just to be respectful to my girlfriend, that's how I'm gonna come apart, like, with questions with it. But I will speak a little bit.
Natalie
I feel like the most respectful thing you could answer is how y' all broke up. I'm saying, why'd you break up? Led you to Summer?
Mark Estes
Yeah, I just wasn't. We're in different times of our lives, obviously, different points in our lives, I guess, and it just wasn't adding up, and it was just time to do it.
Nick
Okay.
Natalie
Okay. Time to do it. And so then. And then Special forces contacts you, and.
Mark Estes
They'Re like, hey, they Special Forces? Actually, that was. They contacted me, like, in May, and so I only had, like, two weeks to get ready for it.
Natalie
Oh, wow. It's kind of like how you did.
Nick
Yeah. Were you an immediate, yes, I want to do this, or, like, what. What was your opinion of it or what? What did you know about it before you got the call?
Mark Estes
I knew. I Decent. Decent about it. Honestly, I was. I know Dwight Howard pretty well, and so he was on the first season, I believe. And so I talked to him. It's crazy. He told me that's something I should do and I should go on it. And then, yeah, that. That call came through, and my agent asked me, and I was pretty pumped, honestly.
Natalie
How are you Pretty close with Dwight Howard? Did that friendship come about?
Mark Estes
We. Yeah, it's kind of random. We were actually on a show together.
Nick
What was the show?
Mark Estes
I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about it, really.
Nick
Is it not out yet?
Mark Estes
It's not out yet.
Natalie
Will it ever be out?
Mark Estes
It's about to. Yeah, it's about to be out in, like, the next couple weeks.
Nick
Okay. So look for another show that Marco's on with Dwight Howard booked and busy. Yeah.
Susie Evans
Had you seen Special Forces before you signed up?
Mark Estes
I have, yeah.
Susie Evans
Okay.
Mark Estes
I watched the first season. I remember watching it.
Nick
Not the second.
Mark Estes
I watched a little bit of it.
Nick
Yeah.
Mark Estes
I just didn't have time to watch all of it, but I did watch a little bit of each season. But when the first season came out, I remember watching it back back in 2020.
Natalie
I know. I remember I saw, like, the commercials for it, and I was like, nick, you need to do the show. This is, like, hot right here. And he was like, I think they asked me, and I said no, I didn't have time or something. And I was like, what? You turned it down? And he was like, so I don't know. And then second season came around, and he was locked in.
Mark Estes
So they only gave you a couple weeks, too, or literally a couple weeks.
Nick
Two weeks.
Natalie
I think he was, like, getting in the pool, our pool, because it was, like, kind of cold. And he was like, this will help.
Nick
Ours is winter. Are we. We were film. We were filming in New Zealand during the winter time. Oh, there.
Mark Estes
Is that when all the. There's all the rain and stuff?
Nick
No, no.
Natalie
Did you know where you were going?
Nick
I was hyperthermic for the last three days.
Mark Estes
Oh, yeah.
Natalie
Did you know where you were going?
Mark Estes
Not for, like, the first, like, week.
Nick
Yeah.
Mark Estes
I think eventually, like, after a week, like we said, like, the contract was through and stuff, and they told me.
Victoria Fuller
Right.
Nick
We have a. You have a couple of your recruits. Um, you know, we have Teresa and Gia. We have Jesse James Decker and her husband Eric. I think there was Sean Johnson and her and Andrew. Going into that experience, knowing what it's like, you know, you don't. You have. You know, you're all by yourself. Obviously, the recruits kind of band together, and you guys are a support system. But did you. Was there a little bit of envy or jealousy with, like, these people had each other and that support system because, like, the dss, they're just losing. Literally breaking you down, calling you a piece of all. All you want is, like, some. Like, just tell me I'm doing a little something, you know, and, like, you have, like, Gia or I love you.
Natalie
I love you.
Nick
And I'm like, I could have used a little bit of that. But, yeah. What was that like?
Mark Estes
Yeah, I think that definitely. It definitely gives them an edge, you know, you're on the show. And just like a little bit of emotional support, like during a challenge or, you know, day to day stuff goes a long ways. Because the DSing. Yeah. Giving it to you. But yeah, I think it for sure gives you a little edge if you have a spouse on there or like your best friend or something.
Susie Evans
Yeah.
Natalie
Like there's your motivation, you know, Like.
Nick
I can't say that I like heights or anything like that, but I mean, I'm not like, I don't have like this terrible fear of heights, but I found that when I was on the show, the challenges were for the most part kind of fun.
Mark Estes
Yeah.
Nick
You know, and it was everything in between. When they're just beating the out of you a lot of stuff just to have heads up when you watch it, you're gonna be pretty frustrated because, you know, they can only show so much like every episode on what hour, hour and a half. I don't know. And your days, you know.
Mark Estes
Yeah.
Nick
They felt like we 18 hour days. So like you're gonna watch it back and all the whole audience is gonna be like, that's crazy. I can't believe they did it to you. And you're gonna feel like they showed like just like one sliver of like the torture that you endured.
Natalie
I remember Nick was like, we ran so far. We kept like.
Nick
That was like five miles and they showed like five minutes of it, you know.
Mark Estes
Yeah. That's gonna be frustrating, I'm sure.
Natalie
Did you go in with fears?
Mark Estes
No. That's funny. I didn't honestly have any fears. But like you said, once I got there though, I felt like I had fears like that. I'm not really scared of heights, never have been. But for some reason, like, we'd be doing certain challenges and I'd be like shaking. I'm like, I've never been scared of heights over my life.
Natalie
They showed a clip of the underwater one. Submarine or what?
Mark Estes
Submarine one.
Natalie
Yours was what, a helicopter? Helicopter. Underwater helicopter. How was that for you? Obviously, we don't know.
Mark Estes
Oh yeah, that one was.
Natalie
That one was brutal for me, like, is under like. I feel like a water that like, that would be my biggest fear of like losing oxygen.
Mark Estes
Yeah, that one was pretty tough. Honestly, I. Going into it, I thought I was going to be fine. But like, once you're in it, you're like, holy.
Natalie
Once you're in a water, you're like, ah, yeah.
Mark Estes
And then I didn't plan it out very well. Overthought my strategy going into. Into it, which you definitely shouldn't Do. And I started counting in my head instead of, like, just waiting for the grab, you know? And so I started counting in my head, and I got to the number I thought it was going to be.
Nick
But you're counting too fast. You're like, 1, 1, 1, 2.
Mark Estes
So I got to the number and I didn't get grabbed yet. And so I'm like, who do you.
Natalie
Feel like was the meanest? Ds?
Mark Estes
I think they all kind of were pretty mean, just depending on, like. Like, Q could look at you and you'd be like, oh, fuck, he's pissed, you know? But, like, Foxy and Bailey are very, like, verbal, you know? So, like, you can tell they're mad at you because they're gonna tell you.
Nick
Yeah.
Mark Estes
But Q just would, like, look at you and just shake his head in disappointment and you're like, all right.
Natalie
Q didn't. On your season, Nick. He would, like, laugh, like, he'd have some.
Nick
He had, like, this wicked laugh, like.
Mark Estes
Yeah, he does.
Natalie
It's so crazy.
Victoria Fuller
It's so crazy.
Natalie
He came to our wedding and he was like. I mean, just, like, dancing with all the women on the dance floor. Like, just the nicest, most charming man. And then to see them all on this show is just such a stark difference. Yeah, I'm sure. Have you talked to. I mean, obviously you've talked to them since, and it's like.
Mark Estes
Yeah.
Natalie
Is that shocking to, like, hear them be actual people?
Mark Estes
It definitely is. Like, Rudy. I saw Rudy and Q yesterday, and they were. Yeah, it's. They're just normal people. They're. Yeah.
Nick
Yeah. They're not normal.
Mark Estes
Yeah.
Nick
Yeah. They.
Mark Estes
They have moments, for sure.
Nick
What. What surprised you the most?
Mark Estes
It surprised me how serious it was, like, going into it. I knew it was serious, obviously, but I didn't know it was like a real life simulation. Real life's, like. It's legit. Like, it's serious. Like, there's no, like, no cuts, no.
Nick
Town time, nothing services.
Mark Estes
They're on your ass 24 7.
Nick
Are you a pick? Are you a picky eater?
Mark Estes
I am, actually, kind of. And so that was rough.
Nick
Yeah, that's what me. Because, like, I. I wasn't getting the calories, and then we were in the cold, so, like, I was just losing. I don't have much weight to lose, and I was just getting. Just dropping calories. And now my body was. I. I got hypothermic and I couldn't warm up.
Mark Estes
Oh.
Nick
Because I had, like.
Mark Estes
Yeah, it was nothing in your stomach.
Nick
I still won, though.
Mark Estes
Yeah, dog.
Nick
Yeah.
Mark Estes
We had a lot of hard boiled eggs, me and Johnny.
Nick
I wish that we got.
Natalie
Yeah, yours were like watery eggs.
Nick
Oh, go for hard boiled eggs.
Mark Estes
Yeah. That's the only thing that kept us going.
Chelsea Fry
Who did you leave with?
Natalie
Like, being your closest friend, honestly.
Mark Estes
So it's kind of crazy. There's a lot of. There's like six of us that are in Nashville, like, out of the Nashville area. So obviously all the Nashville people. But me and Johnny definitely, like, we've hung out since then, you know.
Natalie
Do you ever think you'd be friends with Johnny Manziel?
Mark Estes
No, honestly.
Natalie
What about Dwight Howard?
Mark Estes
No, either.
Victoria Fuller
Okay.
Nick
Justice Smollett. Did you know about him or his backstory before coming on the show?
Mark Estes
Honestly, I knew about him, but I didn't know his backstory and I didn't know a lot about him. Like, I knew who he was.
Nick
Now he's a very fascinating person with a very polarizing story, a lot of different opinions about him. What was he like? Just getting to know him and being one of your fellow recruits?
Mark Estes
Yeah, I thought he was pretty cool. We didn't have, like, a bunch of, like, conversations, honestly. But he was a very, he was a very nice, respectful guy to me.
Nick
Did he talk much about. About. Were. Was there. Were there people there familiar with his story and did they. Anyone whispers behind, like, interrogate him or. Like, because it is, it's very, it's very fascinating with a lot of, you know, there's like a new Netflix documentary about it and things like that. Did anyone.
Mark Estes
Not that I noticed, or they weren't talking to me about it, maybe. Because I, I, I still honestly don't know much about it.
Nick
Was there anyone you got to know who rubbed you the wrong way?
Mark Estes
The wrong way? No, but Cody Brown, I was about to ask. So Cody Brown, we were, I don't know, like, he's, he was super nice to me and, you know, he's a good guy, but he would just, you know, everyone on the show, he would just get so, like, dead set on it. And he'd always say, like, when he gets nervous, he starts talking. And so sometimes we're just like, bro, Cody, settle down a little bit. You're making this worse for all of us. But he's not malicious guy or anything. He's a nice guy. He just talks a lot.
Nick
Who of your crew surprised you the most in terms of, like, you know, maybe. Maybe you met them and thought, they're not gonna go that far. We can't say spoilers, but who went maybe farther or, or surprised you then.
Natalie
Or it's just like, more like beast in challenges or, like, whatever than you would expect.
Mark Estes
Honestly, Nick Young, he got through a lot of that. You know, I thought before going into it, I'm like, oh, he's done for sure. Because he would say it, you know, he would say, I'm not doing this, but he would eventually get through it. So he got through a lot of. He didn't think he was gonna.
Natalie
Did you ever say you were done?
Mark Estes
Yeah, there's one time after the tunnels, I was like, if we have to do tunnels again, I'm not doing it.
Natalie
I remember you were like, Nick's. There were several moments where he was like, I'm quit. Well, no, but you always say that, like, everyone has their thing. Like, everyone had their, like, excuse for.
Nick
Yeah, in my experience doing it, it's like, you know, there's a pride element to it. Like, if you. If you first of all, just showing up for this crazy show knowing that there's, like, no incentive to stay, you know, whatever they pay you is, like, you can quit five minutes later. There's literally no incentive. So there's a little bit of, like, craziness in anyone who shows up. And obviously, there's a sense of pride in that person who shows up. And I have found that, like, for everyone, for all the people who ended up, you know, quitting or leaving the show, you saw it, like, earlier. Earlier, before they quit, and they would start coming up with reasons why they needed to leave. That, to them, wasn't quitting. Like. Like, DEZ Bryant, like, started bringing up, like, he needs to call his kids. And he was frustrated that production wouldn't want him call his kids and things like that. And, like, other people were just talking about, like, well, I don't. I don't. I don't have a problem with the challenges. But they didn't. Like, they felt unsafe in the jeeps where we were going to and things like that, which were all. Again, all valid. But, like, there, you could just tell people, you know, they're coming up with. They were coming up with. Yeah, because they, you know, listen, like, you just.
Victoria Fuller
It's.
Nick
You're like, why the Am I here?
Mark Estes
Yeah, like, yeah, that was. Yeah, that happened in our season, too. And even I found myself doing it a couple times. Then I would think in my brain, I'm like, just stop being a. About it. You know, like, just because the food's not good, like, that's not an excuse to leave because, you know, there's this. Yeah, I think it's human nature. Like, you know, in those scenarios, they're insane. And it's like the little in between. The challenges aren't that bad. At the end of the day, it's the in between.
Nick
Yeah, they're scary, but they're kind of fun. Were you surprised how little training or, or, or just like I thought we were gonna get like rehearsals. Oh, yeah, I thought, you know, I did other shows where you do stuff and they're like, if any, anything remotely, you know, dangerous, you know, is like a two hour safety course. So I was like, oh, we're gonna get all these like. And you would show up and they're like, just like, all right, here's how you do it. It's. I'm just gonna show you from 80 yards away. All right, go. And you're like the.
Mark Estes
Yeah, that was tough doing that. And we did like a little like. I'm sure you guys did it too. Like the day before you went on the show, you probably did like a two minute little like how to repel or something.
Nick
Thought we didn't even do that. They were like, can you. They asked us if we could swim and I had to swim for five seconds.
Mark Estes
Yeah, that's kind of what we did. That's all the training we got.
Nick
Like, okay. Were you hoping this would turn on you? Your girlfriend number right, by doing this?
Mark Estes
Yeah, I think so. I think she's very excited. Her and her family, they're excited to watch it. So I'm excited for.
Natalie
How did your family feel about you going?
Mark Estes
They thought it was sick.
Natalie
Yeah.
Mark Estes
You know, my dad, he's very, you know, he played football his whole life, so he's like very, like detailed and like, so he's watched every single episode and just sending me like spark notes of everything. So he loved it and that I was on it for sure.
Nick
I do have to. Why did you text Kristen? I miss you after you guys broke up. Sounds toxic.
Mark Estes
I don't even know what that. I don't even know what that's about, honestly.
Nick
Okay.
Mark Estes
I mean, that was probably like eight months ago when we first broke up or something.
Nick
Yeah. We gotta ask.
Mark Estes
Yeah. It wasn't. It wasn't recent. I know that period.
Nick
What's next for you?
Mark Estes
What's next? We got the two shows coming out and then I'm gonna focus a lot, I think on modeling a little bit for the next year. I want to get in the acting.
Nick
Okay.
Mark Estes
So I'm going to start maybe doing some acting classes here and there and just see where that kind of takes me.
Susie Evans
Did the Montana boys break up?
Mark Estes
No, the Montana boys are still there. We're just all kind of doing our own thing. And then once we, like, once we're together and stuff, we'll still do stuff together. We'll. We still do events together and all that kind of stuff. But Caleb's kind of DJing and doing his own thing.
Natalie
Was it Caleb who was dating Kayla from Love Island?
Mark Estes
Yeah, they had a little romance.
Natalie
A little thing we saw on. I heard about it.
Nick
That's no longer happening. She's with the new guy.
Mark Estes
Yeah, she's with the new guy.
Nick
The new guy. All right, if they is. Are you, like, the leader?
Mark Estes
It depends what we're doing. Okay, so it all depends. Caleb's more like if we need to get done or, like, have, like, a video we need to post or make.
Nick
Like, I'm for sure getting, like, who's the Harry Styles of. Of the Montana boys? Caleb.
Victoria Fuller
Caleb.
Nick
Okay. All right.
Mark Estes
Yeah, I go. Caleb.
Natalie
Interesting.
Nick
All right.
Victoria Fuller
Okay. Well.
Nick
Well, Mark, thanks for joining us. Best of luck the rest of the season. Excited to see how it turns out. Sounds like you're going to do pretty well. You're a good physical shape. It's a mental. It's definitely a mental game.
Natalie
Jojo offered to carry Tom Sandoval for Nick, and he should have that.
Victoria Fuller
Biggest mistake he ever made.
Susie Evans
You know, when they offer you.
Nick
I'm carrying. I'm carrying Tom for, like a mile on my shoulders. And this is after I was started becoming hyperthermic earlier in the morning. I'm done. And so, like. And JoJo was a beast. Like, she crushed it the whole time. And so I put Tom down. She's like, let me take him. I'm like, all right, fine. You know, like, she puts Tom on her back and she walks 10ft maybe, and then she's like. And she puts them down and they're like, that's all we needed. And they just kept looping and make it seem like Jojo, like, saved my ass and carried him the rest of the way. I look like such a fucking bitch. I was. It was. Fuck you, Fox. I'll never let that go. Anyways. Well, I wish you nothing but the best, man. Happy that you're part of the Special Forces family. Excited to see how you do. And if you don't win, I'll always have that over you.
Mark Estes
Yeah, you will.
Nick
All right, well, that will do it for our episode. Thank you to our guests Chelsea Fry and Mark Estes. Don't forget to tune in tomorrow for an explosive episode of Gary Deeper, where Teresa Judice lays it all on the ground, the floor. She spills it all. She talks about it all. And then on Thursday, we have a great episode for you as well.
Natalie
Madison Pettis, Chris Clemens and Alexia Napola.
Nick
Are all with us. We'll see you then. Bye. Bye.
Victoria Fuller
Bye.
Nick
You say you'll never join the Navy.
Natalie
That you'd never track storms brewing in.
Nick
The Atlantic, and skydiving could never be part of your commute. You'd never climb Mount Fuji on a port visit or fly so fast you.
Chelsea Fry
Break the sound barrier.
Nick
Joining the Navy sounds crazy. Saying never actually is. Start your journey at navy. Com America's Navy, forged by the sea.
