What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another groundbreaking episode of the Vile Files Reality Recap edition. I am your host, Nick. We're joining you live. Well, not really well, when you're listening to this, we won't be live currently in this moment, we're live from the lake house. The new studio at the lake house I would say is 95% done. Also if you are tuning in watching with us on YouTube, you might notice that we also are in a new studio in la. The household is joining us from the new upgraded studio in la.
B
It's bigger, it's better. It's beautiful.
A
Yeah, we're doing big, bad, beautiful things here. Big bad Envy media. Susie is joining the household today. We got Mary, we got Sierra. It's jam packed episode. Lot of exciting things. Would you say what we're like 80, 90% done at the LA studio. Those chairs are white, right? Going to.
C
They're beautiful. It's beautiful here, guys. I can't wait for you to see.
D
I'm in. Love the new carpet smell. The little decal, it's so bougie. I feel well taken care of.
E
Yeah, it's very nice. I vlogged coming in. I was so excited.
A
Did you?
E
Yeah, I was vlogging it.
B
We were part of Susie's vlog.
E
I'll tag you guys.
B
Wait, no one's quitting anytime soon. Yay. Everyone's happy.
E
Yay.
A
The household rose up. They were like, we want.
E
Yeah.
B
The household started protesting.
D
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Us in our two little rooms, we were a little stressed out.
A
We're growing. You know, it used to be a small operation. Now we're, well, still small, but we're a lot bigger.
E
No, don't be humble. This is crazy. I'm not even gonna lie. This is crazy.
D
This looks like Sterling Cooper Draper Price.
B
I don't know who that is, but slay, Sterling Cooper.
E
Slay.
A
Imagine what our guests are gonna say when they come in now. Because before they'd come in they're like, oh my God, you're like a real show. I think sometimes when people say podcast, I expect to show up in my garage. I don't have a garage in la. But you know, either way, we're excited. Join us in the comments. I guess if, if you like what you see. I mean it's, it's a very Similar aesthetic to what we. We used to have, but better. But better. And we got a cozy little dynamic. My wife and I are now facing each other, making great eye contact, falling in love. At any moment during the episode, we may just like you may. We just might break away and start just. Wow.
B
Yeah.
A
Maybe it's all about eye contact.
B
Maybe we will do that.
A
I don't know.
B
Nick is also now everyone.
A
Whoa. I don't know what.
E
Wow. He had a birthday.
A
I had a birthday. I don't know why you have to.
B
Okay, don't Adriana DeMora us. You look great for your age.
C
Times two minus five.
E
Yeah. 32 last year.
B
25 plus five minus five.
D
Isn't that what Kiki said to Adriana? She was like, you look amazing for your age.
E
That was crazy.
A
It was a birthday, but it was amazing birthday. Let's all talk about the amazing gifts that Natalie and River got me. I'm wearing them. They're my new to Cova cowboy boots. Not an ad. Even though I've been telling to Cova they need to sponsor their boots on. On. On this show. My wife is what got me into cowboy boots. I like. Spoiler alert. This may. This may surprise many of you, but I am not a real cowboy. And I'm.
B
Shocker.
E
Wait, really?
A
And I'm. I'm not, like, the most masculine guy out there. And I never would have thought that I would. I could love cowboy boots, but it was my wife who bought them for me. And as a city slicker, I gotta tell you, I really. First of all, incredibly comfortable, incredibly versatile. They pair well with jeans. They pair well with dress pants.
B
This is turning into an ad. Let's more talk about the birthday gifts itself.
A
It's really not. Anyways, you can even see the logo.
B
They didn't pay for this. So let's.
A
They really didn't. So, as you can see, Natalie Rivers handprint. Zoom in, if you could. Please know if that's possible.
B
There's also a V on there.
E
Wait, are you serious?
B
And then I put the year 25, because I wanted to always remember the size of her handprint was when it was thin.
E
Wait, that's the cutest thing.
A
Anyways, it's an incredibly incredible gift.
B
We did Packer colors. We really put some thought into it.
C
And that was very thoughtful, Natalie.
E
The handprint's amazing.
A
And I got.
B
He didn't cry. So if y' all are wondering, Natalie.
A
Forced me to open the gift around friends first.
B
I was like, do you want to open your gift before your friends Leave town. And then they were like, oh, my gosh. Yes, yes, we want to see.
A
So I had to hold back the tears.
E
Yeah.
B
But I have to say, my original plan was a pair of Converse to paint because it's like canvas side, you know, I was like, that'll be easy, whatever.
A
But they don't last.
B
But then I was looking around the closet and there were every color. I mean, he has every color of Converse. I'm like, he doesn't need.
A
This is an amazing gift.
B
Another. So me and Shug took River to the mall and saw Tacova's. And I was like, oh, maybe I'll just get him a new pair of boots. So then we walked in and I was like, can I paint on leather? Like, can I just get like, can I do this on these boots? And Shug was like, I think it'll like peel off. And so I was asking the sales associate, like, do y' all know of any paint? And they were like, we actually do that here. Like, our manager is a, like, was a tattoo artist. So she's, she can paint anything on the boots. Like, we have the leather paint and they're like, we can brand, we can do whatever. And I was like, love that she's talented. That's amazing that she, like, can do anything I want. But I was hoping my 19 month old daughter could paint. And she was like, probably let me, let me go talk to her. There's a lot of talking with the manager pulling out all the paints. It's like, keep out of children's eyes and reach. And they were like, you need to just sign this waiver, please. And we got it done and it was cute and we loved it.
A
It's an amazing gift. Yeah, it was a great birthday. I mean, obviously I got to spend it at the new lake house with my parents, with my family. It was really, it was really great. It honestly made think of some of the other birthdays I have and just a little motivation out there for any of you all who maybe had a birthday recently. I've had some birthdays where I was like, what's the point? Honestly, I haven't.
E
So sad.
A
You know, there's been a couple of those where it's just like, I'm a total loser. I mean, honestly, I think. I don't know if somewhere around my 38th, maybe 36, 7, 39th, mind you, this is after the Bachelor run, Dancing with the Stars. I'm in Hollywood. I spent one of my birthdays with people I don't even remember. Didn't even know. And at like 1:30 in the morning, I was on an IHOP.
D
Hell yeah.
B
Wasn't. Didn't you also spend your 40th, like, in the house, like, eating Chinese food by yourself?
A
That was fine. No, Ashley and Jared came over and I had just bought my first new house. So that was a cool milestone. I felt accomplished after that. It was definitely better than being with strangers at an ihop. At an IHOP at one in the morning. Not every birthday is meant to be, you know, a win. But this one was. This one was pretty good. Living out the dream at the lake house. The lake house is. It's great. I don't know. It's. We obviously spent a lot of time moving in very busy days. I'm wearing the sweatshirt of the builders. Columns and ver Cullen, Jeremy and Greg. Shout out Jeremy and Greg. They crushed it. If you are thinking about building a new home or remodeling, also not an adult. I don't.
E
Know.
B
We spent so much money with these people and they were like, and here's.
E
A free sweatshirt, like, let me talk about you on my podcast.
A
Yeah, no, so the. They're both related to the guy who bought the house from my grandfather and one of the builders, Jeremy was telling me that, like, he used, when he was a kid, used to come up here. Like, I came up here on the lake. So we really kept it in the family, so to speak. But they, they did amazing work. They did all of this in eight, seven months. I think they're pretty booked up, but, you know, give them a call, I think. Calms ver.com.
B
Good luck finding that, guys.
D
Yeah, just zoom into a sweatshirt.
A
Don't give it your milk. I don't know if it's possible. Anyways, it's. It's really been incredible. Have you been having fun?
B
Yeah, of course. I think I have. You know, now that we have River, I definitely am just full of anxiety all the time. So being like, next to water, we have a lot of rock decor outside landscaping rocks. And I'm just like, it's a lot of big boulder rocks. And I'm like, you know, it was.
C
Different when she was a potato, but.
B
The house is gorgeous.
A
All the furniture that Natalie interior decorated the shit out of the house. All the little fixtures, all the little designs.
B
Yeah, I did all that stuff by myself, but I did have Sarah Petticord help with the inside furniture because I was just after picking out every single hardware and paint color, I was like, I don't think I could find a.
A
Couch Interior designer of the stars, apparently.
B
Yeah, I think she did Miley Cyrus's house. I don't know.
A
Also kind of cool. I don't know if you all notice, but Lana Del Rey posted her wedding photos.
B
It's her anniversary. One year anniversary.
A
Yeah. If you guys take a peek at that wedding dress and take a peek at Nally's wedding photos.
B
Welcome party.
A
The welcome party photos, they used the same designer. And Lana wore a dress named after our daughter. River. The River.
E
I love it.
A
What a fun little connection for us. I don't know if Lana cares. She'll probably be a man that we're talking about.
B
No, I think Lana's sentimental. She'd be like, love that. That was named after your daughter. That's so sweet.
A
Beautiful photos that she shared.
B
I mean, Sink just does amazing jobs with wedding dresses. Anyway, so the fact that like Lana wore it is like just has meant to be, you know.
E
Did you guys see Selena Gomez?
A
Speaking of weddings. Gomez got married.
E
Speaking of weddings. Yeah, she posted to her Instagram. I have a question for everybody though. Do you feel like. I feel like her photo drop on Instagram was like very trendy. Like all blurry photos. Kind of looks like 1950s esque where you're like, oh my God, they didn't have a proper camera. I'm sure there was like real photos documented. But like, how do we feel about those super blurry, trendy photos?
A
It's a vibe. Right. Kind of feel that's giving like Great Gatsby almost. In a way.
E
It is. Yeah.
A
It's beautiful. Like you had to be there. You had to be there.
E
Yeah, that's actually. That's actually so true, so real.
A
Here's like, oh, God, if only I was there, you know?
E
Right, Exactly.
B
I wonder, do we know who planned her wedding? Did she have like a celebrity wedding planner or was it like in the family, like a. I think we should.
A
Acknowledge that she married Benny Blanco. I think we. Gomez.
D
Yeah, her and Benny Blanco.
E
That's so real.
D
I really like the photos. I think it's like, I think so much wedding photography looks very, very similar.
B
Yeah.
D
And it all. Yeah, everything, like, regardless of the vibe of your wedding, it all kind of ends up looking like high definition. And I feel like there's so much more like emotion and you can really like feel a lot of the stuff there when like stuff is shot like on film or just like a little grainy of just kind of, I don't know, like a little imperfect. Because I think when wedding photos are like super, super Perfect. It kind of takes away from the authenticity of it.
E
Yeah, Yeah.
D
I love. I also just like a vibey photo.
C
I also kind of like how this vet. How this wedding seems like it's a very, like, low key event. Like, did it happen? Did you get an invitation? Nobody knows, but it's like Taylor Swift, Ed Sheer. Like, you know, it's gonna be like the hugest. Like, a list, guest list. But it like, looks like there's only two people there from what they posted.
E
Yeah, no, I love that.
B
I love that she posted the Polaroids. Like, took a picture of the Polaroid photos on her carpet.
D
She's still one of us, truly, at.
B
The end of the day.
D
Yeah.
E
I love Selena Gomez so much. I'm so. Actually, I'm so happy that her and Taylor are, like, in their wifey era. I feel like they've been through the trenches and it, like, gives. It gives people hope, you know, they've really seen the worst of it and they're both seemingly being treated very well.
A
Not to push a lifestyle on you guys, but I got to say, just the married life, it crushes Sarah.
C
I'm working on it. I just got engaged and I'm loving it.
B
No, literally, Susie was just partying with her ex, so I feel like you're kind of getting close to it.
A
Wait, what were you doing, Susie?
E
Yeah, partying with my ex.
D
Fun.
A
Which.
C
Exactly.
E
On my rooftop.
C
He's been to the house.
A
Justin.
E
Yeah. Yeah, Justin. I had, like, pretty much most of the LA Bachelor in Paradise cast at my house this weekend.
A
Oh.
E
We were all at, like, an event for. Yeah, game night. We were at, like, an ESPN event. And then literally just like, we just kept going and we were drinking and we were like, let's just do a game night. And it just kind of spiraled into, like, everyone come over and we grilled on my roof.
A
Give us the roster. Who was there?
E
Okay. We had Justin, Andrew, Alex, Leia, Rachel, Marshall. Glaze was there. And then somebody.
C
Jonathan.
E
Jonathan. Of course ESPN came, I'm pretty sure. Or Disney. I'm not sure which one. Maybe both.
A
Not partying with the reps. Like, like an employee or like, talent?
E
No, like an employee.
A
Okay.
E
And I was like, yeah, it was like, we made it.
B
So did y' all all go to, like, the grocery store and get stuff to grill out? Did you. Is your house just stocked or did you instacart?
E
My house was, like, low key kind of stock because I had a summer I turned pretty finale party, so I had like, a lot of leftover Drinks and, like, be some snackies. But Andrew volunteered to go get, like, grilling stuff. And then I instacarted Kane's chicken as well, obviously, because it sounded great.
B
So who won the game night?
A
What? What games?
E
You guys actually turned, like, so weird. We were doing, like, improv games. And, like, I actually, at one point was like, oh, my God, I really hope my neighbors, like, can't hear us right now because we were taking, like.
A
Let'S yes and yes.
E
Yeah, it really was, like, a yes and night. I love fishbowl. But we were, like, all drunk by the end, and, like, maybe I had a THC drink and I was just like. I think it just got really weird, like, but nobody felt uncomfortable, so I think so.
A
Thank God.
E
Just a lot of improv on my roof. It got kind of, you know, kind of, kind of freaky.
B
Did you kiss anybody?
E
No.
B
Boring.
E
No one. I didn't see anybody kiss.
A
Alex and Andrew still in love?
E
Yes. They're so. They're actually even cuter.
A
Oh, my God. They're more in love.
E
They're more in love. Yeah, I've got words for that.
C
Therapist.
E
Yeah, me too.
B
Is Jonathan still single?
E
Yes. Yeah, as far as I know. Okay. Have you guys seen the Mr. Fantasy?
D
Yes.
E
Yes.
D
Mr. Fantasy.
E
Yeah, that. That is my type.
D
Yeah, like, Mr. Fantasy.
E
No, Mr. Fantasy, like, KJ Appa. Like, I can acknowledge a handsome man, but, like, Mr. Fantasy is my type.
A
Can you? What? What is the difference? I don't. I'm unfamiliar with Mr. Fantasy. Is this like a. Is this like a Garth Brooks alter ego? Like, what was it? What was Garth Brooks alter ego?
E
I don't know, but it's kind of.
D
Like, you know, Mike Myers, Austin Powers, I would say more so than Garth Brooks.
E
Oh, my God. Yeah.
A
Is Mr. Fantasy a character AJ played?
E
Well, no. There are some theories that, like, maybe this is all like, a marketing ploy, which would be really disappointing. But, no, he's just like, this alter ego. I think it started, like, a month or so ago on TikTok, and he's just, like, taken on this full Persona. He has, like, prosthetic teeth and wigs.
B
Is it actually KJ Appa or is it someone pretending to be KJ Appa?
E
No, it is him, but he's not even acknowledged it as himself. So, like, everyone's just put it together, and it's a full new Instagram account.
A
And this is your type.
E
Like, we. Like, I didn't know, but is that a prosthetic nose?
B
The teeth are crazy.
D
I think it's Just the teeth. So you're saying that, like, if. If you. If it were the 70s and, like, you had met one of the Rolling Stones, you would have been down bad.
E
You would have been down. I think so.
D
You would have been Penny Lane and Almost Famous running around.
E
So. Yeah. And I didn't even know it until I started seeing the videos, and I was like, oh, this is my type.
B
So what did you post?
E
Well, I posted me dancing to his song, and he commented and reposted it on his story. And so I feel like maybe that means something. Right?
D
Yeah.
C
Are you dating Mr. Fantasy?
D
I think you're Mr. Fantasy's number one groupie.
E
I think so.
D
Oh, by the way, Mr. Fantasy makes music.
E
Yes. Yeah. He created a song.
D
Yeah.
B
Okay.
E
It's very interesting.
D
It's really fun.
E
And he's blown up. He's got, like, a million followers in, like, a month. So kind of a star.
A
Could it be A.J.
B
No. You need to make a Vic Nile account.
E
Oh, my God, yes.
B
A wig and sunglasses.
D
Well, people think the wig that he's wearing as Mr. Fantasy is the dark Betty wig from Riverdale, if there are any Riverdale fans in the house.
A
But what does Vic Nile do?
D
He raps.
B
Oh, my God.
D
I feel like Vic Nile is, like, a hardcore, like, west coast.
B
Oh.
E
I was thinking, like, maybe you could really lean into the cowboy of it all, you know, like, you've got the new boots. It could really be, like, you could be a real west coat.
A
Like the masculine version of me.
E
Yes, I could see that.
B
Lumberjacking.
E
Yeah, you should do, like, lassoing a whole.
D
What was that guy Norm MacDonald did on Celebrity Jeopardy? And he had the mustache and the big hat? Burt Reynolds.
E
Yeah.
A
Well, we have an amazing episode lined up for you guys. Lacy Chabert joins us later this episode. You know her from Mean Girls and all of your favorite Hallmark holiday Christmas movies. She has several projects coming up, and she joins us later this episode to talk about them. Also talk about her time on Mean Girls. Lovely, lovely person. And a very. Just charming interview. Just very nostalgic. Very fun. We also have a great week lined up for you. Tomorrow's Going Deeper is with Amy Duggar King. If you are familiar with the Duggar family and all the craziness, some darkness that went on with that family. While Amy is with us tomorrow to talk about that experience, she gets into the nitty gritty details. She has a new book coming out talking about that experience. It's an episode you will not want to miss. Also on Thursday's episode of Reality Recap. Rachel Lindsay joins the show to talk some Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. We'll just catch up with Rachel. It'll be great to do that as well, I think. We also have some Dancing with the Stars coverage. Love is Blind premieres this week, so that is something we'll also get into on Thursday's episode of Reality Recap. So a lot of fun ahead this week. In case you haven't listened to already, we had Teresa Giudice last week on a Going Deeper episode for the ages. If you haven't gotten to know Teresa Giudice and the real Theresa, this is an episode you do not want to miss. She is also appearing on Special Forces that came out last Thursday with her daughter Gia. And because we didn't want to have any spoilers, we have a quick clip coming up shortly about Teresa talking about her Special Forces experience in episode one. It's a jam packed cast filled with, filled with a lot of Bravo people. You had Brittany Cartwright. She was on it for a few minutes, went home.
D
You know, I respect someone who goes into a situation, goes, no, this isn't for me.
C
I was gonna say she made it further than I would have. I was like, the second that they yelled at me or pushed my face into mud, I'd be like, yeah, I'm out of here.
E
I feel like they kind of did her dirty by showing the clip of her saying, oh, my ex told me, you're not gonna make it far. I was like, y' all could have cut that because they could, but this.
A
Is a TV show.
E
No, you're right.
F
You're right.
E
The, the empathy really hurt.
C
It's for the Bravo people to get us to watch, to be like, oh, maybe she'll prove him wrong.
E
I hope she does well outside of, outside of Special Forces.
C
I watched it and she went home.
E
Yeah.
B
But as I and it really only took, was it Q being like, you going to take it off?
A
She's like, absolutely.
B
She was like, yes, thank you for asking.
A
Oh, you want this? Okay, sure. Here you go.
C
I love that she kind of kept using an excuse to, like, make herself feel better where she was just like, I'm sorry, like, I just can't catch my breath or like my stomach hurts or whatever it is.
B
And it's just like, you're going home, right? I'm like, guys, I can't have a headache.
A
Also on it are Jesse James Decker and Eric Decker, a couple husband and wife duo. And they joined us for a Going Deeper episode two weeks ago. They, you Got to check that out. They really. I love how they talk about their relationship and how they are a team. Both obviously on Special Forces, but really in life. A very charming interview. Be sure to check that out if you haven't already. Oh, Mark Estes joined us last week. He's also on Special Forces. You. You might know him as a Montana boy.
B
Also, people were coming, coming for me saying that, like, I lost the plot of who's iconic. And I feel like iconic really only means, like, someone picking on me because I said, Summer Ray pretty, like, household name. I don't know. Like, people were like, who?
A
Who?
B
Natalie says everyone's iconic. I'm like, sorry, I'm a nice person and you are rude.
A
Clearly, to some people, Summer Ray is iconic.
E
Yeah. Like, I think you're totally valid in that. And I think it's just maybe the wrong demographic. Pick that one up because that's on them.
B
Yeah.
C
I was like, were you not trapped ins house during 2020?
E
Yeah, you were right on that one.
D
I know who she is.
B
And if Mary knows who she is, she's iconic.
A
What's your favorite part about her? Mary.
C
She.
D
Her personality, you know, of course I.
E
Was gonna say good ass. Oh, she.
D
Oh, she's in her ass.
E
Yeah. Yeah.
B
Good ass.
D
Summer Ray. Yeah, Summer Ray, you have a good ass, I've been told.
A
Well, be sure to check out special Forces. But here is Teresa talking a little bit about her special for. And if you want to catch the rest of her interview again, it's last week's going Deeper. But right now, here's a little Teresa Giudice. On the first episode, I thought, well, you are a saint because you offered to clean up everyone's poop.
G
No, I didn't offer. That was one of my. That was.
B
You get.
G
Everyone gets a job duty.
A
Yeah.
G
And.
A
Oh, you had bathroom duty.
G
Yeah, that was my.
B
No, you said, if anyone goes doo doo or poo poo or something, please tell me so I can clean it immediately.
G
Well, because you.
A
Well, you're right. You have to put dust or something. Give you a job.
G
Everyone gets a job. So, you know.
A
But you took it like a champ, though. You were.
G
No, but what I learned is, like, that was the best job I could have got because I was. It was the first day, and no.
A
One wants to go to the bathroom the first day.
C
Exactly.
A
Everyone's like. Everyone's like, I'm just holding this, you know?
C
Exactly.
G
Like, who wants to go, like, on a bucket. No, in a bucket on plywood.
A
Yeah.
G
No, there was a Bat. The bathroom was made.
A
Have you ever watched a western? You know, the ouse is made out of wood with, like, a hole in it. That is. That is what you use for the restroom.
G
And there was 18 of us because Gia was number 18. I was number 17. There was 18 of us in one shower.
E
No.
G
Yeah, One shower outside.
A
I took one shower the whole week.
G
You did.
A
Didn't have time. We were. They were kicking our asses because you guys had 10 days. We only had eight days. And I think it has to do with when you guys are in the desert. It gets so hot. They're like, safety concerns. They can. They can't.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
Do things. But with. With us, it was like, 30 degrees. So they. We just went. Spent like, 18 hours all day long, and there was just. We didn't have time.
G
Wow. You're amazing.
F
Good for you.
B
Well, obviously, you had watched a couple, so you kind of knew what to expect, but were you shocked to hear just how aggressive the DSS are? I mean, I know at that point you're like, that's mean. Yeah.
G
No, I saw how mean they were. I was just like. In my interview, I was like, they better not push me like they did Denise Richards, like, in her chest, like, off the boat.
B
Oh.
G
Remember how hard they pushed her? Like, so hard into the. Into the ocean.
B
Yeah.
G
I was like, if they do that to me, I'll just die. I'll die just right there. I'm like, if you. And I said to him in my interview, I'm like, if you want me to die, then do that. I'm like, please.
E
I'm like, do you want a liability?
G
Yeah, like, please don't do that, because that would, like. I. First of all, I would be shocked. Like, that was rough. Like, just push. Especially because I don't know how to swim. And being thrown into the ocean like.
B
That, you're not prepared. You haven't had time to.
G
Breast implants, like, you cannot do that.
B
To me with that. First, what were you doing? The come. Jumping off the helicopter and scaling. Scaling? Is that what it's called? No.
A
Repelling.
B
Repelling. Was that harder than what it looks? Because it looks like it would be easy. But then, obviously, it looks easy. It looks like, oh, you just, like, pull the thing to the side and you just go down kind of slow. Like, it looks like manipulated.
G
I mean, the thing is, like, it's really high up, and you have to learn the technique. I mean, I did hurt my hand because my hand got stuck. So this right here, the top of my Hand was black and blue and bruised really hard.
C
Like, I hit my vush.
G
Cause my hand got stuck. So it's like. You know, I thought. I thought I was like, I got this, but then my hand got stuck, I think.
B
I mean, Nick. I remember him always saying this. Like, when we were watching back his season when it was airing, and it.
G
Was like, oh, it happened so quick. And they're yelling at you.
E
Yeah.
G
So it's like.
F
And.
G
And the helicopter so loud. I mean, it's just a lot. It's a huge.
A
And there's really no training.
E
Yeah.
G
No, it's clear.
A
This is how you do it.
G
Oh, yeah. And exactly. So they just throw, like, just to go. And I'm like, oh, my God. So it's like, exactly. Like, you can't even take five minutes to, like, make sure you have it right. And, like, because it was so fast, like, that's why my hand got stuck.
A
Yeah. And I was like, they're like, watch this. And he's like, 200 yards away, you know, as the demo.
G
Right. So. So it was. It was. It was scary. But I'm glad I did it. I always wanted to jump out of a helicopter. So now. Now I can say I did it.
A
I'm curious how. How far Teresa will go.
B
Me too. I think having someone with you that, like, can motivate you will make you go a little bit further.
A
She's one tough cookie.
B
She's one tough cookie.
A
Yeah. I wouldn't. I wouldn't mess with her.
E
I also think her. With her daughter, I feel like that can. Has to push you so far. Even the way she was talking to her, and she was like, I wanted to quit, but, like, I knew that you were there. I'm like, oh, my God. I wanted to cry. No.
A
Having that moral support is honestly huge there.
B
Just, like, they asked me to send, like, Nick a video. And I don't know when you. How far along you got that video.
A
At the very end.
B
Oh, perfect. Okay.
A
Well, no, but it was really hard.
B
I was gonna say that was the reason Nick stayed so long.
A
It helped me finish for sure. It really did.
C
I will say my favorite Teresa moment was them calling her stupid or something. And she just goes, that's not nice.
A
That was amazing.
C
So, so cute.
E
So cute. I love that.
C
I feel like she handled herself really well, because I was like, this is not the Teresa I'm used to on Jersey. I was like, I was expecting her to push back and be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, What. What is this?
D
But she's outside of her comfort zone.
E
Yeah. I wonder if she will give some pushback though. Like, are we gonna see a little sass?
C
Oh my God. Or like, what if she wins?
B
I don't know if they handle sass very well.
E
No, they definitely don't. No, I'm definitely already like falling for the edits. I will say I'm like, oh my gosh. Like feeling annoyed at certain people. You know what I mean? We're episode one. Like who, what's his name? Jess? Jesse.
B
Oh, Jesse Smollett.
E
Yeah.
B
Oh, yeah. He knows who I am, right? He knows everything about me. It's like I think he just said he rec. Maybe he's a fan of your work.
E
I actually thought the guy responded kind of nicely.
B
Yeah. Cody.
E
Yeah. I was like, oh, I didn't think he.
A
Jesse Smollett. Well, you know, he's an interesting guy.
B

A
Something I want to say guys, you're gonna have to this awkwardly. Listen while I Speak to my wife right now.
D
Okay.
A
Like, I'm really proud of us. I don't know if I say that enough to us, but, like, we. We're so busy, and we do a lot of stuff together, and I think sometimes, like, our life gets so hectic. But I love. I just. I just love how much we're a team. And it's just, you know, like, every day we get a little stressed out, you know? But, like, I think my favorite thing about you is this. You're just. Just. You're always up for a challenge. No. I don't know if you feel this way, but, like, it is so easy to, like, feel disconnected sometimes.
E
Yeah.
A
Like, you know, sometimes I think in relationships, you just feel like. You always assume, like, your partner, like, can read your mind sometimes, you know? And, like, sometimes like, that, you know, they always, like, distance. Like, that quietness will create distance. I don't know. But I'm. I'm just very appreciative that you. We. We. We're always mindful of that, you know?
B
Yeah.
A
Anyways, like, I'm just. I'm glad I have a teammate and, you know, and I'm just. I am just proud of us because I just think we. I don't know. Like, I'm. I'm just the type of person who's always worried about, like, what's around the corner. Like, I. It's hard for me to enjoy things, especially this weekend with the house being done and everything going great. It's always like, the gonna happen, you know? Anyways, it's this.
B
You've done a good job of living in the moment, though.
A
I'm doing my best, you know, but thanks for helping me out. I'm just like. Yeah. I mean, Nally's just so good at that. She's. I just think. Yeah. Other times it just. I know, like, our. We will have a stressful life, but, like, Nally's usually up. Up for it, you know, she's always up for, like. I really feel like I have. I have a partner in the best possible way.
B
Even though I throw in a couple complaints. Right.
A
It's not bad. You're not a nag, which is so great. It's really great. And when you are naggy, I just, you know, ignore me.
B
Yeah, perfect.
A
But generally speaking, I mean, compared to, like, there's. I don't know, I just feel like there's a lot of couple. I mean, we've. We've hung out with couples and also just, like, how we speak to each other in public. Is, I think, generally a pretty something. I'm. I'm glad that we. We do a good job of. We've hung out with other couples where it was like, I. If we ever talk that way to each other around people, and some people are just so comfortable doing it.
B
Should we get a queen size bed?
D
No, that's really cool. Can we talk about me?
A
Sure, Mayor.
E
Thanks. That was cute. That was cute.
D
Yeah, yeah. No, very sweet. I love that for you guys.
A
So sweet.
D
Yeah.
A
Mary's like, I don't want that lifestyle.
D
Yeah.
C
I don't want your life.
D
Yeah. That's awesome. I just found out something. Something insane. Right? So. Okay. I promise. So this past weekend, my sister Aaron is pregnant. Shout out, Aaron.
A
Older, Younger, older.
D
She is 35.
B
Hey.
D
She's pregnant with her first daughter.
B
Congratulations.
D
Yeah.
B
Aaron.
D
Yeah. Anyway, so I'm home for this baby shower, right? And I.
A
You went to Florida this weekend?
D
Yeah.
A
Pop off.
D
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You approved my pto.
A
I don't like. I don't.
B
I'm. Just Send us any photos.
D
Yeah. So, like, I'm home at this baby shower, and yesterday before I left, I'm going through all of the things and helping my sister unpack all the gifts I got for her. And I was like, babies need a lot of shit.
E
Yeah.
D
I didn't know that.
B
Mary.
D
Anyway.
B
Needs so much.
D
I. They're so small, but they need so much. I. All they do is poop and pee.
C
And cry and then they grow out of shit. So I have to buy more shit.
E
So fast. Yeah.
A
Did you change a diaper?
D
Well, no, the baby's not there yet. She's still pregnant.
A
Will you change a diaper?
D
I'd be down to. The thing is, like, my siblings, like, kind of raised me because they were all, like, teenagers when I was a little baby. So I kind of feel like I owe you that.
E
Yeah.
D
Because they, you know, change my diapers. But then at the same time, my sister said I'm not hot enough to have tattoos. So.
A
Wait, your sister said that too?
D
She did say. Well, in so many words.
E
Do you. You don't have tattoos?
D
No. And I was like, guys, I think I should get a tattoo. And my sister was like, I don't.
C
Think you have to be hot to get a tattoo.
D
That's what I said. And she was like, I don't know if you're hot enough with that.
E
And that being said, you are hot.
B
Thank you.
E
Exactly. That being said, you are hot.
D
Thank you, Aaron. Anyway, I just had to get. I was really nice to her this weekend. So I really needed to say something mean. No, you had to get your hook backed.
B
No, that reminds me of when we were setting up the rivers, like, bathroom here. And so me and Nick's mom, Mary went to Target and got the non slip, you know, for the bathtub, little sticky suction thing and got her a bunch of like, bath toys and whatever. And I like, filled up the bathroom and then I. It made me think that, like, oh, this is also the guest bathroom. And my best friend Chambless was like, there's nothing more overstimulating than taking a shower at your friend's house who has a baby. And it's like the step stool, all the things in the shower, like, all the toothpaste and all the baby, like, she's just like. It's so overstimulated. Like you cannot relax.
E
And then when they move into the toddler stage and there's like locks on the toilet and you're like, how the do I open this?
B
There's locks on everything. You're like, I'm just trying to get the extra toilet paper in here.
E
Literally.
C
Heaven forbid it's an emergency.
E
No, exactly. I've had that happen. It's terrifying. My sister's also pregnant, by the way, and she had her gender reveal this weekend. It's a girl. I know.
C
How did they do the gender reveal?
E
They. They did it in my parents backyard and they did like, like poppers or something. Yeah. That is cute. They FaceTime me in.
B
Did you think it was a girl or did you think it was a boy?
E
Well, she wanted. I mean, they were happy with whatever, but she was like, I want a boy. And so I was like, you're gonna get a girl.
A
What Are unacceptable. Gender reveals.
E
Fire.
C
Yeah, Anything with explosives.
A
Like, we did the whole balloon popping. Seemed good. I was happy with it.
E
Yeah.
B
I think the fireworks, you know, anything.
D
With live animals, anything that can cause the city of Los Angeles to have a cataclysmic event.
E
Right.
D
Probably not.
C
Dyeing a living thing a color.
D
Right.
B
I think the biting into the cupcake one is tough because then your, like, mouth is full of cupcake and you can't really celebrate.
A
You're like, also, I'm off sugar. So not possible.
B
Nick wanted us a river. And Nick was like, what if we, like, had someone, like, deliver flowers in like, all blue or all pink?
C
That's cute.
B
Flowers. And I was like, okay, that'd be cute.
E
Yeah.
B
But then we'd have to, like, open up the front door together, you know, that's Cute.
A
Actually, can you imagine this really insane reaction to the person. Delivery person. They're like, okay, sorry.
C
Right?
D
Oh, my God.
E
They're like, what?
D
Leia wants me to say that she did the cupcakes.
E
Okay. Did y' all see the one with the wig where they. Where the mom was in on it? They popped the balloon and nothing came out. And then the mom had on, like. Like, a wig. She pulled it off, and then she had on, like, the color, and it was. It was ecstatic. Like, it was very lit.
C
It was super cute. And also, like, add a way to make that about you, literally.
E
Let's talk about me. That's what it. Exactly what it was.
C
Somehow that all became about the mom.
E
About the mom.
A
Is there a world where we'll ever not do a gender reveal and just wait for the actual.
B
I don't think so. Because, like, I mean, people. You know, I don't know. People are always like, there's not a lot of surprises left in life. And it's like, it's going to be a surprise either way. Like, it's a surprise. If you pop a balloon, it's a surprise. If you. If the doctor's like, it's a girl, you know, it's like, it's always gonna be a surprise. So you're just, like, prolonging the surprise.
A
I guess I enjoyed finding out because especially as a father, it's very. It's hard. It's just harder to connect with your baby.
B
Well, it's easy to start, like, picturing your life. Yeah. Yeah. A lot more fun.
E
My brother waited and for his second child, and it was actually really cool because we know. We had no idea. It also saved everybody a ton of money. You know what I mean? Leading up to it.
C
Because you're just buying, like, necess, right?
E
Necessities, neutrals. And so you're like, okay, we'll wait. And. And then it was really exciting when.
A
How did it save them money? I feel like people weren't buying, like.
B
Girl clothes or boy clothes or something.
E
It saved me money, I guess I should say. Like, you get so excited when you find out the gender and you're like, oh, my gosh, I'm gonna buy a mermaid costume.
D
Yeah, yeah. My thing. I was like, obviously, as I said before, I don't know what babies need. So I wanted to get something like, like, from the heart, you know? So I got this, like, little, like, music box, and it plays Swan Lake because I was a little wine drunk when I was ordering it. And then I heard the melody And I started crying. I was like, she's gonna. Because she might be a Scorpio. So I was like, she's gonna need a melancholy melody that's very feminine in her life. And then, like, all the, like, my, like, cousin's kids and stuff that were there were, like, obsessed when they heard it. And I was like, I ate.
E
Wow, that's a good one. Yeah.
D
But then she was like, I would have loved burp cloth, but then someone else got them for it.
C
Well, I'm not currently in the business of obsession with babies, but what I am obsessed with right now is the drama going on in the Bravo sphere between Tamra and Sheena Shay, and then Shana Shea and Lala Kent. And so, if you're not familiar, Tamra went on Watch what Happens Live and during a game was asked a question along the lines of, who are you looking least forward to running into @ BravoCon? Without hesitation, Tamara answers Sheena Shay. Based off the podcast episode Tamara wasn't present for, where Katie, Janella and Teddy discussed that Sheena is actually the one who was responsible for telling Kiki Monique about the outcome of Naked Wasted and Gretchen going to the hospital. Sheena recently did a podcast where she was asked about it and claimed that Tamara is behind stirring the pot and that Gretchen never lies, which I think is hysterical because we literally just watched Gretchen lie straight to Tamra's face. And also during the episode of Watch what Happens Live, Tamra also let it be known that at ABC upfront, Sheena and Brock told her that it was Sheena's dream to be an Orange county housewife, to which Andy responded, I thought her dream was Dancing with the Stars.
A
Savage.
E
Yeah, so savage.
C
Which also leads me into less upfront drama between Sheena and Lala. A week or two ago, Lala did an Amazon Live where she was asked about Sheena, and she responded, sheena is just Sheenaing. Which people watching thought it sounded like shade. Come to find out, Lala has been on every big cast trip in the Valley, and Sheena hasn't filmed at all for the Valley.
A
So is this confirmed or is this a rumor?
C
This. It's confirmed that Sheena has not filmed for the Valley and that Lala has been on cast trips.
B
Exactly. Didn't they just go on a cast trip?
C
They just went to a cast trip to San Diego. And Zach posted a photo. The only two people who are not, like, confirmed cast members are Lala and Tom Schwartz, and they were both in the photo. No Sheena, no Brock.
D
Beautiful.
A
Love some Thomas Swartz.
C
Right. So then the rumor has it that Bravo was upset with how Sheena handled the press for her book. I don't know if it also has to do with how they kept the secret of the affair during the last season of Vanderpump Rules, but people are thinking that this is a repercussion.
A
Why would they be upset with it? Just because, like, Sheena kept it for herself.
B
Didn't she kind of shade Bravo?
C
She was. Yeah, she was throwing a lot of shade about Bravo and production and all of these things throughout her press interview. So it's like Bravo was catching strays left and right because Sheena was on her high horse at that moment, obviously. But it sounds like she's vying for an orange holding spot. And one thing I will give her, I said regardless. No one can take away from her that she is a New York bestselling author.
D
So true.
A
So don't you know I'm a USA Today bestselling author.
C
Get it?
D
Yeah.
C
You have to sell 10,000 copies, I believe, nationwide to become a best.
A
It's about your pre orders or something like that.
D
Well, also, Nick, it's like USA New York. You know, USA Today.
B
There's a whole country.
D
Yeah, New York, One city.
C
But yeah, Tamara's not looking forward to seeing Sheena. And then Adrianna was also on that episode, and she's also not looking forward to seeing Sheena because Sheena caused drama between her and Captain Cutie, which is Captain Jason from below deck. Apparently Adrianna and Captain Jason were dating for a minute there and that Sheena got involved texting him and that they stopped speaking.
D
I love the low deck is always at the scene of the crime.
C
So BravoCon is coming up and, like, I couldn't be more excited that we're actually going to have boots on the ground to tell us what is going on, because the drama is going to be palpable.
A
I believe I'm making my first Bravocon appearance.
B
Vic Nile will be there, everybody.
C
I'm so proud.
A
I can't reveal with who yet, but I'm working with a company and I will be taking photos with fans. One of my favorite things to do, if you know me, you know, it's a real dream to engage with the people.
E
Yeah.
C
You are a man of the people.
E
What a thrill.
A
I'm excited about BravoCon.
E
Yeah.
B
I wonder if you'll hear or see any of these, like, rumblings.
A
I'm wondering in who. Who, like what Bravo celebs will want to hang out with me.
E
They'd be smart too. You know what I mean? Oh, my God. If you're chatting about their shows, it's.
A
Like, know what I found out over the weekend? Shep Rose is exactly one day older than me.
B
Oh, so we're both 45th birthday chef Rose.
C
Wait, Natalie, are you going?
B
No.
C
Well, we gotta put a. Put an electric fence around him in case Adrianna sees him in person.
E
That's so real.
B
Like, remember she said for one night.
E
Right. He did get a hall pass, right?
C
You did give him a one day pass.
B
Yeah, sure, if you want it.
E
I love that Nick Damora.
B
Which do you want to listen to the dog song again? Cuz I love my dog. I love to cuddle with my dog.
A
I love my toothbrush.
E
No, it's giving Phoebe from friends. It is.
C
Do you think Bad Bunny will perform that at the super bowl halftime show?
A
Is your musical guest for the time show of this year's Super Bowl?
B
I love how everyone's like, it's gonna be Taylor. It's gonna be Taylor.
C
Yeah, I was told it was Adele.
E
Yeah, I heard Adele pass.
B
Adele pass. I heard that.
E
Is she, like, passed?
A
I think she's passed several times.
B
Adele passed.
E
It doesn't feel like I love Adele, but I don't know that. It feels like the vibe, you know?
D
Yeah, I feel like Bad Bunny throws a party, you know? Adele, you sit your ass down and listen.
A
Yeah, yeah, I would. With Adele. Adele.
B
You would? Yeah, it's not really. Yeah, it's not really, like, the hype vibe of Super Bowl.
C
When JLO did the super bowl halftime show, like, I didn't even realize how big of a fan I was of hers until, like, every song and I was like, up dancing the entire time. So I think I agree with you. Like, where I'm like, I would be singing, maybe sobbing if Adele was performing. But, like, you do want to, like, dance and be like, all right, finally I can get a break from this football.
A
Oh, hopefully the super bowl won't end in a tie. Like the Packer Cowboys game ended on my birthday.
B
But at least they didn't lose.
A
I don't know, Maybe that would have been better. A tie was really just fucking lame.
B
Which I didn't even know you could tie in. Like, I thought when you go into overtime, you go. You do like, second overtime, third overtime. Just the sec.
A
I know some of you aren't going to care about this little rant, but, like, the. The NFL has continued to change their overtime rules a little bit for the better. But then they used to be Just another quarter, which is 15 minutes for some reason. Now it's 10. It doesn't make any fucking sense. It was annoying. I don't know. I don't know what like, you know, imagine. Imagine a housewife fight that just ended in a tie.
E
Like, both sides forgive, but, like, do.
C
We have to to guess which team's gonna win? Because we just know the Chiefs are gonna win because Taylor Swift's husband doesn't lose.
A
Well, they lost last year.
D
Well, the Chiefs famously lost last year.
E
Yeah.
D
Kind of washed if you ask me.
C
It shows I didn't watch.
A
Yeah.
D
The Steelers also were in Ireland and won. And I actually watched a Steelers game because I was home and had to. But I enjoyed it.
A
Yeah, you were.
B
I feel like I need to freshen up on my Bad Bunny songs, you know?
A
Do you think he'll ask you to be part of the musical act since you're in a Bad Bunny video?
C
I was gonna say don't you know one that's so TR am going to.
B
Be a backup dancer.
A
That's my wife.
E
Yes.
B
If you do not know, I am in the music video for Ojitos Lindos.
E
Get in.
B
Yeah, that's me in there. M. I'm in the mix. I'm on a couple dates with Bad Bunny. So.
E
Wait, really?
B
Yep, that's me in there. We were did a drive in movie.
E
The other day in the video. Okay.
C
Because I couldn't get Natalie. So I guess I'll go for Kendall Jenner.
B
Speaking of Bad Bunny and Sheena Shay. What did she say about Sheena? What did Sheena say about Bad Bunny at the SNL thing? That he like thought she Kardashian or something. Oh, that.
C
She kept saying that like he was making eye contact with her and like eye her from across the room and she's like, I must have like reminded him of his ex. It was. It was a very delusional, I gotta.
A
Say, you know, just for everyone out there, just because someone's looking at you doesn't mean they're checking you out.
D
Yeah.
A
I'm always observing people constantly.
B
I am judging them. I also need that reminder though, because I'm always like, oh, my God.
D
Literally, I me.
B
They're probably.
E
He was.
B
That bitch has kale in her tooth.
C
She said that he was eyeing her while she was out dancing. And her direct quote was, bad Bunny was giving your girl the up and down. Every time I turned around, his eyes were on me. Your girl, when you would not stop staring. This is that the.
A
So like the Cowboys are America's team. And Sheena Shea is your girl.
D
Your girl.
C
I and your girl.
E
Up and down, up and down.
A
All right. Should we get into some Miami? I didn't know Juliana did a.
B
Neither did I.
A
Did you guys. Did we know that? Was that a fun fact?
C
Yeah, she did it last season. She did a performance for Martina.
A
I don't know what Mary's rapid recap is going to say, but before we jump into it. And Natalie clocked this, but what. What a wild choice for Julia to put her new adopted twins in a Balenciaga T shirt. For those of you who don't remember, not too long ago, Balenciaga was caught up in a very salacious scandal when they had children in like S M bondage type of like photo shoot photo shoots. So like just kind of like weird.
B
Choice celebrities are trying to make them like it again. And I just. I don't really know how you come back from that. So I haven't forgiven them. But apparently Julia has. If you missed this past episode of the Real Housewives of Miami, here is your rapid recap. The finale is finally here. Alexia.
A
Actually, we she wasn't wrong.
B
She wasn't wrong. It felt like there was more to the story. Marisol brings Christmas to hot weather of Miami. Meanwhile, Alexia is simultaneously throwing a beauty bar happy hour. Which one are you going to? Jill Zarin is in the crowd and Marisol is wearing a hat. Question mark. Wait, is it a loofah? No, it's a tree. Adriana calls Julia a covert enemy. Alexia son is questioning Todd's love for Alexia. Julia throws an event between the Florida Grand Opera and her children's foster care program. In case you were wondering, Santa is still fat in Miami. Larsa doesn't want to be a scrooge and is peaceful around Jody. Adriana is late to her own concert and Stephanie is not having the JLO members moment. The only difference is the Miami JLO plays a piano and loves her dog. Julia is happy for Adriana, but Adriana calls her weird. The mask is off. Adriana storms off and calls Julia off for her nine engagements. And to dig further, Adriana calls Julia a user incites her old apartment. Julia claimed she was being controlled behind closed doors. She's done to wrap it all up. Kiki releases a drink for the Haitian Health Foundation. Marisol claims she told Adriana to act like she said, right? Wretched T. Adriana calls Marisol old and wretched. Dare we say going to a funeral. Marisol says Adriana is going to an ice skating rink. No finding out that Marisol was the one who told Adrianna to say rat wretched and not ratchet and be in blame it on. Her accent was crazy.
E
Crazy, right? But then in the. In the confessional, she made it seem like she was like, oh, go with this. But then it seems like there's a dispute. Now I'm like, are we gonna see something at the reunion? Like, I need to see this. I need to see the clip.
A
Does anyone else just, like, not give a fuck like me? It just feels like they're really trying milk this storyline.
B
Well, I think Adriana is maybe trying to milk it, because then she's like, oh, you called me racist. Kiki, talk to my friend.
A
That was wild, Carl.
B
Hey, Carol, that was crazy.
A
We're gonna call on a backup. Here's my black friend.
B
Yeah, like, my racist battle for me. It was like, this is weird. Kiki's like, no one ever even said that, by the way.
E
Right?
D
It's like. Well, now I think you might be right after.
E
After you pulled that stunt.
D
Yeah. I don't know. The thing is, like, I love some Adriana d', Amora, but it was really. It. It was kind of getting hard her at the end of this. And I really need to know, like, who's lying, because I also love Marisol, but I'm like, who's telling the truth in this? I can't tell.
C
I don't think there's a lie. I think Marisol did help Adriana where she thought that they were on and she would stop being mean or whatever. And then the second that, like, shit started to hit the fan, Marisol couldn't wait to pull it out of her being offensive.
A
Adriana. I don't think she had any clue what either of those words meant, and I certainly don't think that she realized what maybe, like, the stereotypes or implications might mean behind one of those. Well, I think so.
B
She clearly does now, because she was quickly like, and, Marisol, you're old and miserable and you're wretched.
F
Yes.
C
The turnaround in Alexia, of all people, being like, stop. Don't do this to yourself, Adriana. And Alexia doesn't like her just as much as Marisol.
A
Anyone else find it weird that Adriana wanted complete silence before she walked out on stage? Like, didn't she. Doesn't she want a hype train? I didn't quite understand that.
C
Yeah, I think she was trying to have her diva moment of, like, I'm trying to get into the zone and, like, meditate. Like, she's Mariah Carey and it's like, girl, get on stage with that.
A
You look like you dressed for a skating rink. Was wild.
D
Yeah, that was awesome.
A
You know, it was funny because I was like, you know what? I see it.
B
Yeah, yeah.
D
Nancy Kerrigan, the house down boots.
B
But also, Bravo did her zero favors with the audio of her singing.
A
Yeah. They didn't, like, pull, like, a direct link. It was basically like someone with their iPhone filming the concert in the back room. So it's hard to really even tell if she sounded good or not, because Bravo really did her dirty.
C
And I will say that going back to what you said, Nick, about how it's not the biggest of deals, I'm like. I feel like we just kind of glossed over. Like, Julia throwing water on somebody who's literally healing from cancer. And it's just like. But Adriana mis pronouncing a word or whether her intention. Whatever it was, I'm like, that's the biggest deal that you guys solved that was wrong with this season.
E
Yeah. Yeah.
C
Because it's like the Valley. It's like, get again. Or like Jade, Jason and everyone focusing on Danny versus Jax, where I'm just like, wait, I feel like there's bigger issues here than Adriana's accent.
E
Yeah.
D
And then also, not for nothing, Adriana did sound better live than Julia.
A
Just gonna say, do you think so? Actually, I kind of disagree too.
D
I feel like Julia would set herself up for failure by. It was her. With a professional opera singer. So I. You could hear every single little.
A
Like, how long has. Is. Has Julia been an opera singer for a long time? Time.
E
No.
D
A year.
A
She got into it a year ago.
D
Yeah.
C
Like, practicing.
A
Well, first of all, before I talk my shit, she was actually pretty good. But I. Babe, please do not. If you're gonna find a hobby, like, don't have it be something. So. I don't know, like, it's like, unintelligible something where you have to perform in public and.
E
Yeah.
A
And be taken seriously in a way. Like, our dear friend Charlene Joint is an opera singer. She's been doing it her whole life. She's quite stunning and lovely at it. And I just feel like there's certain things you don't just, like, pick up, pick up, you know, and then demand people to listen to you.
B
And again, it's not like knitting bubble blankets.
A
Right?
B
Like.
A
Yeah. It's not like crochet, you know, or, you know, painting. It's a weird. It's a weird hobby to jump into. It is. But she was. I mean, she Was pretty good. I mean, I don't know.
D
I'm just anti Julia to be honest.
B
So all I know is that I.
C
Want to not leave this earth. Not going to one of marriage carousel's parties or events.
B
It did. It looked so fun, so real, so lush.
C
The like Coco, change into your pajamas.
D
Yeah.
B
And what were those pajamas? Nice.
E
Yeah. What brand?
C
We need, we need.
E
Can we get a PR package?
B
Because literally not Lisa trying to like convince her 8 year old son to get a manicure. He's like no. She's like, yes.
E
Like why kid get his name? They kept that in.
C
He's so his father's son. Like he was just like so uninterested with her and was just like yet.
B
No.
C
And I was like, it's giving Lenny.
F
Yeah.
A
Do you think she wanted to do it to like spend quality time with the boy?
B
Well, he was already with her at the nail salon so it's like they were already together and it was like she just wanted to give him something to do.
C
I'm sure than just like sitting there.
B
I'm sure he had an iPad also.
C
What a bummer though for like Alexia to be throwing that event at this the same day.
A
Although I, I would have said yes to it. I, I, I demanded that I got my nails painted when my mom would paint my sister's nails.
E
Oh really? Do you, do you still get a manicure now and then?
A
No, I should as a cuticles. I've had a pedicure, a couple pedicures. My toenails needed a clipping over the weekend and so I used my fingers.
C
What do you mean?
A
Just kind of ripped it off.
C
What do you mean?
B
You want to know? It's grosser than that.
C
If you say you put it in his mouth, I'm going to walk out.
B
Sierra. Nick, if you have.
A
Not my toenails. Not my toenails. I will use a fingernail as a toothpick for sure. 100%.
B
Oh, isn't that insane?
D
Guys, I don't you, I mean I do bite my nose nails, but I don't use them as toothpicks.
E
You wouldn't.
B
Then take that nail and stick it in between your teeth and like get out a piece of steak.
A
You would never know. I bite my nails. My nails.
B
Look, he does do them very evenly. Sierra, are you okay?
C
I am unwell. I am unwell and I am not okay. I'm crying and gagging.
A
So wait, are you just gonna like let that piece of food sit in there if you don't have a tooth no.
B
Use your hair loss.
A
Use your hair.
E
What is going on at the vial of the. I've definitely used my hair before.
B
Thank you.
A
That is crazier than a fingernail.
B
No, it is not.
C
Postmates. On your phone, I know that you have access to floss somehow, some way.
B
No, listen, I floss my teeth every single night, but this is like in an emergency in the car or out somewhere. No, no, no. You don't floss your teeth. Floss at home.
A
Well, I don't floss.
B
I'm speaking for myself currently.
D
Apologies to all the dentists.
C
I was gonna say your gum health is important.
D
Yeah.
A
Although my, My, My dentist, by the way, Dr. King. Shout out Dr. King from Auburn, Alabama. I did get a text message from.
B
Him saying you're due.
A
No. Wishing me a happy birthday.
E
Oh, that's.
D
You said happy birthday. Your teeth.
A
My dentist randomly is in Auburn, Alabama.
E
Do you go out there to see your dentist?
A
I, I. Listen, I, you know, I, I'm. I feel like I take pretty good care of my dentist myself. I look good for my age, as Mary has pointed out. But, yeah, I'm, I'm not awesome at going to the dentist. And I hadn't gone in maybe, be honest, a decade. And then we were. I was visiting Auburn, Alabama a couple years ago for. And, you know, not much to do for me out there, and I was like, well, this would be a good time to go to a dentist.
B
You went to my childhood dentist.
A
I actually love that you got me right in. And then we went out the next year. So I was like, I go back to Dr. King. So anytime I'm in Auburn, Alabama, I hit up Dr. King.
E
Yeah.
D
Wow, there's so many shout outs in this episode.
B
Yeah, a lot of shout outs in this episode, for sure. We just have so much love for so many things and people, you know.
A
People who do good work, we appreciate them.
E
It's a really strong community.
A
You have shout out Ben for helping us build this studio.
B
Shut up.
E
Okay.
D
What's going on in O.C.
B
What'S going on in Orange County?
A
If you miss Gretchen's a liar.
B
Gretchen has horrible. This was.
A
This, this episode of OC Was the worst fashion I've ever seen.
B
First of all, Gretchen's ITM look has always been bad, but the Lara Croft was exceptionally bad.
C
My favorite was Heather Dubrow walking in saying, GI Jane. She goes, no, I'm Lara Croft.
D
It really is. We have, we have Lara Croft at home.
B
It was the guys. This, this, it was the studded belt. I, I did this Same look for Halloween four years ago. It's like you find a jumpsuit, you get the little studded belt, and you put some like, you know, things hooked on it and do a braid.
A
She should do an ad for that bra, though.
E
Yeah, the body was tea, y'.
A
All.
D
The body was tea.
E
I couldn't look away. I fell for it.
D
Sadly, her personality is like.
B
Well, if you have no idea what we're talking about. And you miss Missed the last episode of the Real Housewives of Orange County. Here is your rapid recap. First, we start off with flashback rewind moment. And in the name of Tamara Judge, what do you know about me? Jen is overthinking about her September wedding, but Ryan wants her to stop waffling. AKA beach wedding. Gretchen and Slade discussed Tamara's singing voice. Or do I say drowning Rat Slate apologizes for bringing up Tamara allegedly cheating. Gretchen was just trying to be campy and funny. Jen's daughter wants a boyfriend in high school who didn't. Then we get a self defense class. Gretchen shows up as Amazon, Laura Croft and okay, body. Meanwhile, the rest of the group are pranked by carjacking. Emily blows the whistle and tells Tamara about Slade's accusations. And boom. Tamara appears stunned and would love to hear the recording. Gretchen shoots a fireball and Tamara has had it. Of course, Slade said something stupid. And suddenly Heather and Emily catch the stray. Gretchen alleges she kept her mouth shut and apparently it'll get ugly for her. So the real question is, who's trying to run whose life here? Also, I'm sorry, whose vibrator was up whose vagina?
C
Can I just. I just have to say that I do think that there is an art to Bravo and like how they do these seasons. Because last season obviously couldn't stand Tamra and then the beginning of this season with Katie. I'm still team Katie no matter what. But bringing Gretchen and Slade back in somehow humanizes Tamra to the point to where I'm like Gretchen and Slade, Team Tammy. Tamara, this is dirty. This is gross and like sleep.
A
You're the stand up where he body shamed Tamara.
D
Oh my God.
E
That was crazy.
D
Who are you? Theo Vaughn doing his Netflix special?
E
Oh, no.
C
He called Vicky Miss Piggy and she had that nickname like stick with her for years as like a grown ass woman and end up getting work done.
A
Can you imagine being a middle aged man getting into comedy and your whole bit is just body shaming women in your community?
F
Literally.
C
Really? Could you imagine being a middle aged man with a daughter and you're still doing this type of shit to ruin another grown ass woman's life.
D
Could you imagine being a middle aged man and deciding now's the time for me to get into comedy.
B
Can you imagine being a middle aged man?
A
Actually? Yeah.
B
Nick's like, I've had the thought.
E
Yeah, I was writing the thought.
D
Yeah, but you're not like going and doing stand up and shaming women's bodies. You know what I mean?
E
The material might look different.
D
Yeah.
B
Also watching him do that scene with Greg, Gretchen, it just is such a stark difference in watching Eddie or I'm not gonna say Ryan because Ryan is kind of a performer too, but Shane. Yeah, it's just like Matt, Katie's husband. It's like the difference with House laid like, turns it on for the camera is so gross.
A
Also, you know she's lying because like, you know, when, if, when you have accusations and then you. And you're vague about it, it's like the whole like, everyone says this about you. Well, what do they say? Well, I'm just not going to say, you know, like they were just. They were saying things and whatever.
B
They weren't good.
A
They weren't.
B
You should be worried.
A
Such a manipulative, gross thing. And like. Yeah. And that. And you know, because like Tamara is like, well, then just say it. You know, because there's nothing there. And it's so. I really hate it when people do that. It's. It's bully behavior.
B
I mean, and also Gretchen being like, I've been told so many things about you and I've kept my mouth. Mouth shut for all these years. Do you want me to start saying him? It's like, yeah.
A
And then the producer's like, what did she say? I'm not gonna say.
B
Next question.
A
You, like, like you would protect Tamra. Like, nothing about Gretchen is, is shows me that she would want to protect Tamara. There's no incentive.
C
I'm watching throughout, like, I'm watching all the old seasons of Orange County. I'm in like season 11 now. And I'm like, this is pretty standard between Slade and Gretchen. That whole like, sit down where she's just like, oh, God, you really pissed me off when you said that. They've had this conversation so many times. That's Gretchen's way of taking zero accountability for what her husband said and claiming that like, oh, I had no idea he was her life partner. Of like, I had no idea what he was going to say. And she says it at the table. If Sled said something stupid, then like, that's on him. And it's like, no, you're a partnership. You knew what he was going to say, but you've rehearsed your way of being like, oh, my hands are clean. I wasn't the one who said it. It.
D
Slade and Gretchen kind of remind me of, you know, in the Emperor's New Groove, Yma Gizma. And then what's the Gronk?
C
Gronk?
D
Yeah, he's her gronk.
B
Yes.
D
And it's like, she's behind it.
B
She's like, pull the lever, Gronk.
D
Pull the lever, Gronk.
C
Yeah, But Slade's just equally as evil. Like, I feel like they both try to act like they're like, oh, she ruins our lives. It's been 15 years. If you can't move on from a couple from some shit 15 years ago, like, why are we here?
B
Also, like, carjacking, prank. Not a good prank.
D
No, stupid, risky.
E
If I had been in that car, he would have been done for. Yeah, yeah.
B
It's like, what? Like, I feel like someone I don't know is now gonna, like.
C
I'm actually shocked. None of these people had, like, pepper spray or, like, literally, like, not one ounce.
E
Why were your windows down? They all have their hair down.
B
Yeah. All their windows down. It's like, first of all, what are you doing? Roll your window up.
A
It is crazy.
B
They're all like, he's digging in the trash. Meanwhile their window is still down.
A
There's a couple people who travel a lot and. And drive in different parts of our country. Road rage really hits different, depending on where you are.
D
Yes, absolutely.
A
You know, if you accidentally cut someone off in, let's say, Wisconsin, it's just a. Like a little get.
B
My bad. Like, please don't do that. Excuse me.
A
Sorry.
E
Sorry.
B
In la, it's like, they might get shot now.
A
They got.
B
Once, it was so scary, all we were leaving the studio, going home, and this, like, old Suburban, like, it's. It's going from two lanes into one after a red light. Okay, so here I am in the right lane that I'm supposed to be.
A
In, and this car, I'm running shotgun like a man.
B
And this car comes flying through. The yellow light probably was red by then. And, like, gets in front of me, whatever. Like. So I'm like, that was so dangerous. He's going so fast. So I'm kind of just, like, looking at him.
C
I.
B
The one thing about me is I am such an observer, and if I am at the park and there's something that Goes wrong. And the officer is like, did you see the. I'm like, yeah, this is a license plate. Like, I am that much of an observer. So I'm, like, looking at his license plate. I'm looking at, like, what I can remember about this person if I were to need to give his description.
E
Wow.
B
And we get to the next red light, and I guess he was looking at me from his side mirror. So we were, like, kind of making eye contact, and he. He was a scary individual. Okay. We get to the next red light, and he pulls to the side, which, again, is not the road, and he stops. So I have to pull up beside him and his windows down. And he literally gives me, like, the finger. Handgun. And says, watch yourself. And I was like, oh, my God.
A
Gas. And he basically, like, he said. He basically said something. I'm gonna let you live today. And I honestly believed him. It was like, this person's killed somebody. Him before. 100.
E
That's LA for you.
D
Yeah.
E
Yeah.
D
Oh, can I tell you guys my favorite road rage story from growing up in Florida?
E
Yeah, Florida.
D
Right. So, okay, so as we've discussed before, my dad's a pastor.
A
Praise Jesus.
D
Praise Jesus. One time we were driving home from church, me and my dad in the car, and we were in Sarasota at the time. There's this really big bridge called Ringling Bridge. And we're driving across the bridge, and my dad accidentally cuts off this motorcycle that he didn't see. And the guy on the motorcycle, like, swerved and came back up and, like, got up. My dad had his window down and like, got really, like, up in my dad's face and, like, started screaming at him. But then my dad was still wearing his collar and his, like, pastor collar. And then the guy, like, clocked the collar and then was like, repent.
A
He thought he was talking to God.
D
He thought he was yelling at God, and he was like, oh. And then just kind of, like, eased back. Eased back. And I was like, wait, should I go to seminary?
A
Were you, like, my dad? So cool.
D
I was like, that's kind of really cool. Yeah. Anyway, yeah, that's one of the perks of being a pastor. If you wear your collar, you can get away with a lot of.
B
Well, speaking of Jesus and speaking of.
A

We're so excited.
A
So excited. I mean, do, do people generally just get really excited anytime they meet you? You know, just being the icon that you are.
F
People are very. I love meeting people. People are always actually like super friendly. And whether they're, you know, saying they enjoy the movies on Hallmark Channel or that's so fetch.
E
Like someone. There's always icon. You know, it's, it's.
F
I love meeting people. You hope people are going to like the work that you're a part of. And so it means the world to me to meet someone who does.
B
How many times do you think have you said that so fetch since filming Mean Girls?
F
If I could tell you the amount of times I've said it in making videos for people's daughters and nieces and granddaughters.
D
It's a lot.
E
It's a lot.
F
Or they'll be like, can you write that?
E
So fetch. I'm like, absolutely. Of course.
F
I loved, I mean, I loved Mean Girls. It was such an incredibly fun movie to be a part of. I can't believe it was 20 years ago. And it was just such a lovely thing to do.
C
I saw that in theaters.
F
Did you really?
E
Multiple times.
B
You have a daughter, right?
F
I do. My little Julia. Just turned 9 years old and she's just the love of my life. And yeah, she's in third grade and she, you know, children are so humbling and like, she keeps it so real. When I want a real opinion, she will absolutely tell you. And it's just so fun to watch her grow and to see the world through her eyes.
B
It's the best. Is she a fan of your work?
F
Yeah, she's also my real Critic.
E
What is she.
D
What's her recent review?
F
I mean, she'll be like, don't wear your hair like that again.
A
Mm.
F
Like, she'll. Yeah. She's like, I. I don't like that. Or I love it. You wore colors like, you always wear black in real life, Mom. Like, oh, you and your black leggings. And you're like, it's my uniform.
B
Like, you're always in sweatpants at home.
C
Exactly.
F
Relax. She literally says that you're always wearing sweatpants and leggings.
A
Our daughter's 19 months, and she's on the verge of talking. She does that. She's at the age where she's, like, talking to herself and, like. Like. And then she's learning, like, a new word every day. It's been pretty fun.
F
Just magic.
A
She's giving sass and talking back. I feel like she will be giving us notes as well.
F
It's the best. If I can offer one piece of unsolicited advice, please write stuff down, especially the cute stuff that she says that's like. Because you think, I'll never forget this, but then something else happens, and you do. And my husband and I are always reminiscing, like, remember when she used to say that word, word wrong? Or remember when she used to do that? I mean, I remember when she was really little, probably about that age, and she would, like, go with her hands up and look up at me and go, hold you. And she meant, hold me, hold you. And I was like, yes, please don't ever say it right.
B
I know I've been trying to get. I know I've been trying to get river to say that now. I started with just being like, do you want up? And so she would say, up, please, up, please. And now I'm like, do you want me to hold you? Because I want her to do the hold you, too.
E
It's so sweet.
A
She's learning.
B
The first year of her life, I did, like, a full baby book and took all these Polaroids and wrote everything down. And then I feel like after the year, you just, like, have a toddler, and you're like, oh, my God, I have no time to scrapbook. And, like. Right? So. But that's so true. I don't want to forget the cute stuff, so I do need to be better at it.
F
It's the best. And you know what's so cool, too? Like, my daughter has. Because of our phones, she has a picture or a video from almost every single day of her life. And it's such a different way I think that kids are growing up these days where, like, I have, like, seven photos from my childhood, and they've all been in Hallmark movies.
E
Like, they're always asking for family photos.
F
I have so few photos and almost no videos. And so I love that she has this whole documentation of her life. And it's like, such a cool thing, I think, for her to look back at. And she'll sometimes come to me and be like, can we look at the baby? Can we see me as a baby? And it's really fun to, like, obviously for me to get to relive that, but then to see her look at herself like that, it's kind of sweet.
A
That's so sweet.
B
I bet it also brings that memories for you because she's probably like, what were we doing here? And why were, you know, like, asking questions.
F
Yes. And that. That's been one of my favorite parts, honestly, of being a mom. It's. I've gotten to relive some of my best childhood memories and some of my favorite moments with her in the traditions that we carry on. And, like, you know, I remember being making this certain recipe every Christmas with my great grandma and my grandma, and now I get to do that with her. And just the full circle part of that just brings me such joy. And I mean, it all ties into why I enjoy making these movies so much, truly.
A
Yeah. The reason why we're not with you in person is we're up at the lake house, which we just got done remaking. And it was the same property my grandfather built. And so now that River's Here, it's like, it was like a core memory for me in my childhood. So now that River's here, I get to see, like, she's loving it up here. And so, yeah, just like you said, just to relive it back is a. Is a something I'm really looking forward to with River.
F
That is so special. Oh, I wish you guys all the best. It's awesome.
A
Well, speaking of special, and you obviously have made such an amazing career doing. You mentioned Hallmark movies, all these, like, family friendly movies. You have three projects that you coming up over the next few months. You're. You're booked and busy. Like, do you have favorites? Like, I mean, even, like, obviously You've done over 40 Hallmark movies. I think something like that. Do you have favorites that you've done? And then of the projects you're doing right now, tell us a little bit about each one.
F
It's, like, impossible to pick a favorite because they really are special. For different reasons. I know that sounds so cliche, but it's not just the movie that's special to me. It's the experience of it. I remember what I was going through in my life when that one filmed or the crew or I met someone who became a best friend. It's really the life stuff that happens behind the scenes that means, means so much. But I'm so excited about what I have going on right now. Season 1 and 2 of Celebrations is streaming on Hallmark plus and it's a show that is so close to my heart and like it was, it was a passion project with everyone involved where we celebrate heroes who are just incredible people doing amazing things in their community, people who are making a real difference in the lives of so many people. And to be able to give them this, we get. We take three days to plan a surprise party with LA party stylist Lisa Marissa, Incredible planners. And it's not just about the party though. It's about celebrating their work and, you know, hearing firsthand accounts from people that they really have affected their lives. And I think now more than ever we just need to highlight all of the good. And that is just a show I'm so proud of. So if you want to just feel good and you also love a little DIY and party and celebration, that will be the show for you. And then October 11th on Hallmark Channel, I have Haul out the Halloween premiering, which is the third installment in the Haul out series about these neighbors who are crazy about Christmas. But now they've turned the tables and it's all about Halloween. And my dearest friend in real life, Kimberly J. Brown and her husband, Halloween Town, Halloween Town, they join us for this one. So it was so much fun to reunite with that cast and of course with my best friend. And it's also just, it's so fun to celebrate. I mean, all of the Hallmark movies I do, it's all about community and bringing people together. And I think that they do that in people's living rooms when people watch. And so I'm thankful for the chance.
C
When do you typically film these movies? I know it's coming out in October, so did you get to film this back in February and have Halloween and the beginning of the year?
F
Yes, it is year round holiday celebration for me.
C
You're so lucky.
F
Yeah, we actually filmed this one in Salt Lake City in May, so it was really fun. But typically we're filming the Christmas ones in the summer, which is great because I get two Christmases every year pretty much. But also A hundred degrees, and you're wearing a coat and a scarf and a parka. And, like, I think I've trained my face to actually not sweat anymore.
E
Yeah.
B
Teach me.
A
Literally, how did you even fall into being, like, the Hallmark queen that you. I mean, obviously you had, you know, your iconic movies with mean girls, but, like, is this something that you aspired to? Did it organically happen? Like, you know, like, you've really made this amazing career from it.
F
My gosh. Thank you so much. I don't know how this all happens, truthfully. I mean, this business. I've been doing this for 35 years, and you never know what tomorrow holds. And I. I. Hallmark offered me a movie called El Elevator Girl, and it was, like, 15 years ago now, I think, and I filmed it, and it was a blast, and it was a fun movie, and I never knew if they'd call again, and here we are. I just finished my 44th movie, actually, for them a couple of days ago, and I'm so deeply grateful for the opportunity to tell stories that I think people can see themselves in. You know, it's always a goal of mine to tell a story and portray a character that's like, oh, I. I've been there. I relate to that. And then at the end of the day, you know, it's. You're going to be left with an uplifting ending and feel good, you know, feel good and just. I love. I love being a representative for Hallmark because it's. It's. It's what highlights the good in the world all the way back to the card company. You know, it's. It's about celebrating milestones and being a part of people's celebrations. And so I just. I love it. And I do love Christmas. Like, I'm. I know it's controversial, but I'm going to put up my Christmas chemistry soon. I just.
E
No, I thought.
B
No. November 1st.
A
We're November 1st.
F
You're my people.
B
Yes. Yeah. So wait, we don't. We do fall and Halloween the exact same time, and that's September 1st through October 31st. And then November 1st is Christmas on.
F
Ah, I love it.
B
But do you go all out at home? Do you have, like, several Christmas trees in your house?
F
I do. I have to hide them from my husband because he's like, enough with the Christmas decorations. I may have ordered another one last week, and I'm hoping to intercept the box before he sees it. Yeah, I just love it. The more the better. More is more.
D
Reid, you're also kind of the queen of Christmas. So I think you.
F
There's an expectation.
C
He can't stifle you.
E
Yeah, I think. Yeah.
F
I mean, he's like, do you. But poor thing. He has to help me pick it all up. But I just love it. I like a different theme for edit up tree. I like, like I do. I let Julia do her room however she wants and then I'm sorry to keep plugging things, but it just goes hand in hand with what you're saying. I have a line coming out with Hallmark that'll be at the Hallmark Gold Crown stores and it's Christmas decorations. It's a beautiful ornament set, things you can use for your holiday celebration. A tray, a tea towel and mugs and card line and wrapping paper.
A
I would absolutely buy your Christmas decorations.
F
Will you really feel like, oh my God.
E
You buy it between.

A
So please, Lacy, before we let you go, we have a fun game we want to play with you that Mary put together. Mary, would you like to explain to Lacy how we play the this game in the spirit of Hallmark holiday films?
E
I would love to.
D
So another thing we talk about on this show a lot is Housewives. And I wanted to play a game with you called Hallmark or Housewives in which we are going to read you some very dramatic plot lines and you are going to have to guess and tell us whether you think they're from a Hallmark storyline or a Real Housewives storyline.
F
I mean, the two really do cross over, it seems.
E
So here we go. It does.
D
So the first one is a last minute work trips turns into something more when unexpected travel delays force two people together.
F
Hallmark.
E
Yes, it is.
F
Do you know the movie A Christmas Detour?
D
Jingle Bell Bride.
F
Okay, never mind. Sorry. Okay, take that off.

I'm gonna go with Housewives for that one. It's Hallmark. Really? What movie was that?
D
A very merry mix up. Someone ends up at the wrong family's house.
F
Oh, I'm gonna have to watch that movie.
A
That seemed like a trick question, Mary. I was giving Housewives.
D
I don't know, maybe I like Wrote this game so it'd be a little hard. A sudden health crisis binds strangers together in surprising ways.
F
Things I'm gonna go with. Oh, that. I mean, it could be either, but I'm gonna go with Housewife.
D
Hallmark.
F
Really? What movie was that?
D
Stranger's Heart.
F
Oh, my goodness. I gotta watch. I gotta.
B

I thought I'd seen them all.
D
A high profile relationship collapses just as a new one takes shape in plain sight.

E
Let's see.
D
An elegant dinner unravels when someone drops a bombshell about a partner.
F
I feel like you're trying to trick me again. I don't know if I trust you.
E
I'm gonna go with Housewives.
D
It is Housewives. Yeah.
E
Okay.
D
All right.
A
That would have been.
D
Yeah, that would have been crazy.
E
I don't worry.
D

F

A
Yeah.
F
I. I definitely have seen a few episodes.
D
Yeah.
C
Where she's like, those aren't very uplifting. I'm going to say Housewives.
E
I'm thinking of the positive spin. Yeah.
D
Yeah. He seemed like these could have been deeply evil people.
C
I don't think people are lying about a serious illness. I'm gonna go with Housewives.
D
But maybe the serious illness was that they were heartbroken. Nevermind.
E
I lost it.
D
Something about Santa.
A
