And Quince delivers every time with wardrobe staples that'll carry you through the season. Quinn's has the kind of fall staples you'll actually want to wear on repeat, like 100 Mongolian cashmere from just $60. Classic fit denim and real leather and wool outerwear that looks sharp and holds up. I've got my eye on their suede trucker jacket. It's perfect for layering and just looks really casual but put together. And I know that Nick is going to be trying to steal it constantly. By partnering directly with ethical factories and top artisans, Quince cuts out the middlemen to deliver premium quality at half the cost of similar, similar brands. These pieces have truly revamped my closet. Everything from Quince is not only so cute, but also such great quality and makes me feel like I can stop wasting my money on fast fashion and actually invest in pieces that will last me a lifetime. Quince has really become a go to across the board. They have amazing bedding, bathwear, cookware, travel accessories. Their expandable Carry on suitcase is so light and sturdy, but it has a removable laundry bag for your dirty clothes, which is key. Chef's kiss cannot get better than that.

She's dressed in blue.

[Nick]

I'm an avatar.

[Justin]

She's a little smurf.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Nice meet you all.

[Mary]

I'm a smurf.

[Nick]

Lovely.

[Justin]

What was a sexy salt?

[Leah]

Did he just call you a smurf?

[Nick]

He did.

[Becky Robinson]

Veruca Salt.

[Justin]

Her name was what? Aruga Salt. That was the hot one.

[Becky Robinson]

Veruca Salt.

[Mary]

Well, she turned violet.

[Becky Robinson]

Oh, Violet.

[Mary]

Violet, you're turning violet.

[Justin]

There's no way they would have named the sexy one Aruka Salt.

[Unknown Female Host]

Veru.

[Becky Robinson]

Well, Veruca Salt was also like a 90s, like, grunge band.

[Unknown Female Host]

By the way, the color blue represents calmness, stability, trust and loyalty and sadness.

[Nick]

Me, me, me. Leia.

[Leah]

I'm just saying.

[Justin]

Well, we have a fantastic episode lined up for you. We got a lot of Bravo to get into. We got some Salt Lake City, we got some Potomac, we got some Love is wine, Internet tea. Well, I'm just focused on Bravo right now. And then obviously the Love is Blind finale happened last night. And friend of show, Crystal Minkoff of the show Humble, also formerly of Beverly Hills Housewives, is, turns out a big Love is Blind fan and she is going to join us to get into the finale. Unsurprising. A little sad.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah.

[Unknown Female Host]

You know, I was crying.

[Nick]

Crying.

[Unknown Female Host]

You were? I did, actually, for one of them, I'm not gonna lie.

[Justin]

Which one? Don't reveal.

[Becky Robinson]

We'll talk about later. But I also did choke up.

[Justin]

What?

[Becky Robinson]

Well, I. I do.

[Mary]

I feel anything.

[Leah]

I have a take that I'll save for when we get to it.

[Unknown Female Host]

Okay.

[Justin]

Okay.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Keep everyone on their toes.

[Leah]

Don't forget about me.

[Justin]

Well, if you haven't listened to the going to episode with Brooks Schofield, that was yesterday. And boy, the Internet was responsive. Responsive. Responsive. What a great word. I love that we're going to use that. Going for it. Responsive.

[Nick]

They were responsive. One of my favorite things that several people said. I think we're tapping into a new audience with Brooke. I think for sure has obviously different audience than maybe we have. And so a lot of people, I feel like we're new to our are sizzles and like, obviously we make them literally like you're in a IMAX theater 4D trailer for the biggest action packed.

[Justin]

Like, are you on a podcast ever or are you part of a true crime documentary?

[Becky Robinson]

Exactly.

[Nick]

Yeah. I think more hype than a documentary.

[Justin]

Either 1.

[Nick]

An IMAX 4D thriller, action drama, every genre possible.

[Becky Robinson]

It's Mission Impossible.

[Nick]

And the comments were like, not the serious music for this type of ad.

[Justin]

What is this?

[Nick]

The vibe of this, like, acting like this is a documentary or like, whatever. It's just you're new here.

[Justin]

Marketing 101. We got the people talking. We got you responding. We've triggered you.

[Unknown Female Host]

I was going to say thank you for the comment like, and subscribe.

[Justin]

Yeah, I don't know if it's a Gen Z thing, the Internet is very reactive. From what I've learned when it comes to Brooke and Tana, for better and for worse. And that. And that can be a lot on your emotional health, but especially for all the haters out there. I am also just selfishly glad that she came on our show and had a really great experience. Because truly, that's what people do, is we make people feel seen and heard.

[Nick]

She just also has just a. I mean, and I said this in the interview of, like, you can do the most simple task. You can parallel park in front of a CVS pharmacy.

[Leah]

That's not a simple task.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Okay.

[Nick]

Fair point, Leah. It is not simple. Especially in la. Cause everyone's honking at you and you're like, what else do you want me to do? How else do you want me to get into the parking spot? I have to back up.

[Leah]

That's awful task, actually.

[Crystal Minkoff]

You're right.

[Nick]

I'm so sorry. Let me rewind. She can do a simple task, like checking out at the grocery store. That simple?

[Leah]

Yeah, I guess.

[Nick]

God.

[Justin]

Walking.

[Nick]

She can walk. And someone will be like, oh, my God, Brooke Schofield ran me over with her car. And she could be like, I haven't driven in 10 years. Like, what do you mean, hit you with my car? And it's just like. And it will go viral and it will be mass and everyone will believe it as truth. And I've never seen anything like it. It's crazy. So to like, have her on the couch and be like, guys, like, I don't know what to do. I don't know. She's like, maybe I should just get rid of my phone.

[Justin]

What are some of your favorite comments, Justin? Not that we ever really do this.

[Unknown Female Host]

But, I mean, someone pointed out that they think your jeans are iron and they respect it.

[Mary]

Do you iron your jeans, Nick?

[Nick]

Could y'. All.

[Justin]

I do not.

[Becky Robinson]

I do not dry clean.

[Nick]

If in the morning I'm like, taking care of river and Nick's like, hold on.

[Justin]

What makes jeans look iron?

[Nick]

Gotta iron my jeans.

[Unknown Female Host]

They said it was the pleat. So apparently you had a pleat in your jeans.

[Becky Robinson]

Do you get them dry cleaned?

[Leah]

I can show you what they look like unironed.

[Unknown Female Host]

What?

[Nick]

How do you know what my husband's jeans look like unironed?

[Leah]

No, I just know what my jeans look like unironed.

[Nick]

I can show you what they look like unironed.

[Unknown Female Host]

Sexy.

[Nick]

And she said it in, like, a slow, sexy voice.

[Mary]

It was a little insidious.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah, I can show you what they look like unironed.

[Unknown Female Host]

Nick. I Saw you responding to a comment.

[Mary]

Nick's in the comments.

[Justin]

Yeah. I took a peek to see how people were responding to the dramatic sizzle early on, and I saw that the most liked. One of the most liked comments was people's displeasure with my existence, which was fun.

[Leah]

Wait, what did you respond?

[Justin]

It's just a red heart.

[Unknown Female Host]

And it got a lot of likes.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah, My favorite comment was from YouTube. It says, Brooke, if it makes you feel any better, I've never heard of you before today, so I don't hate you.

[Nick]

From YouTube.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Yeah.

[Justin]

People's ability to just be. When I'm trying to be nice.

[Unknown Female Host]

I know. Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Like, she has, like, a.

[Nick]

Like, she posts vlogs, like, all the time. Why would you say that?

[Justin]

I don't know.

[Nick]

It's, like, kind of up to, like, clown one of their creators.

[Becky Robinson]

No, no, it was on.

[Justin]

It's like a fan being like, yeah.

[Becky Robinson]

It was just on our YouTube channel.

[Justin]

Probably vile Files listeners who's never heard and just, like, decided to watch the episode and.

[Nick]

Oh, the comment was on YouTube.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah.

[Mary]

It was like a backhanded compliment.

[Nick]

I thought you were saying YouTube itself commented that.

[Becky Robinson]

No, no, no, no, no, no.

[Mary]

That would be serious.

[Nick]

And I was like that, yeah. Intern who is running that social media account should be fired.

[Becky Robinson]

It's kind of like when people are like, you know, I don't. I don't get why everybody hates on Mary. I think she's all right.

[Nick]

Yeah, that's our favorite.

[Unknown Female Host]

I think everybody should go listen. I think they're going to see Brooke trying to evolve and guess where she's going next, period.

[Justin]

We love that for her.

[Nick]

We have a great episode lined up for y' all today. Becky Robinson.

[Justin]

Yeah, Becky Robinson. Also joining us, you know her as the entitled housewife making people laugh online since the pandemic. And she is with us, so get ready to chuckle. For all you men and ladies out there, she's a real hoot, and we're happy to have her.

[Becky Robinson]

Hoot and a holler.

[Justin]

Hoot. She's a hoot. Did you guys watch Dancing with the Stars last night?

[Mary]

Of course I did.

[Justin]

Listen, am I the only one who was just like, you think wicked? You think, what an epic movie. Epic franchise. It swept pop culture with its release. But for whatever reason, I felt like the dances were kind of boring, kind of snooze. It kind of felt like people were walking on the dance floor a little bit. It just. I don't know. And I feel so much is tied to the music, you know, I don't Know, it just was, like, starting with Daniel Fisher, it was just. It was all nice. This is not a note for the individual dancers, but I just. Maybe the theme didn't pair well with the dance floor. Maybe I'm crazy. I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm not a Broadway kid.

[Nick]

I love Andy. I felt like Whitney and Alex did great, but I felt like what I loved about their dances was, like, the.

[Mary]

Acting, the theatrics of it. Yeah, yeah.

[Nick]

And then I feel like Elain Hendricks, her dance, like, she won the night for me. And just, like, dance.

[Justin]

Yeah. Theirs was probably the most entertaining dance, but it just kind of felt like there was It. I don't know. When we went last week to dedication night, there was like. I mean, granted, it's dedication night, but, like, so much of the music choices, you just felt the energy and the dances, and you were captivated by just everything. And this. It was just. It felt like a. I don't know.

[Nick]

Someone online said that Alex Earl had, like.

[Justin]

I mean, I don't know her was pretty good.

[Nick]

Much truth there is to this, but that she had, like, requested, I guess, the popular song.

[Unknown Female Host]

Okay.

[Nick]

And then they gave it to Whitney, and people are saying that, like, she's like, a producer.

[Justin]

Well, I will say. Well, first of all, I really. I really liked Alex's dance. I thought that was a really good dance. And I think, honestly, I think she's doing quite well.

[Unknown Female Host]

She got the swish, swish, twirl, right?

[Mary]

Yeah. Well, that was the thing. It was like, Scott came out first, and it was kind of like. And to be fair, because I was like, it's kind of like Disney Night.

[Nick]

Right.

[Mary]

But I'm like, at least Disney Night, they kind of get to pick a song or something that, like, means something to them or, like, their favorite where I feel like Wicked, it's like they.

[Justin]

Don'T get to pick. I was Pinocchio.

[Mary]

Well, I was going to say. Okay, maybe.

[Unknown Female Host]

Sorry.

[Mary]

I was just saying I feel like Wicked's a little bit harder to. If you aren't a fan of Wicked, to, like, dance to this music and, like, not feel. Because, like, I was singing along to all of the songs, but, like, the dances. I kind of do agree with you, Nick, that I feel like they kind of fell short this week.

[Nick]

Granted, the soundtrack to Wicked is incredible, but, like, you're comparing it to Disney Night, where they can choose from so many different. You know, it's like, I feel like they were limited and it. Yeah. It didn't, like, hit as well as the rest of the nights have hit.

[Becky Robinson]

But they should do a Leonard Bernstein night.

[Nick]

They should do a WNBA night. They should do a WNBA night. I think.

[Becky Robinson]

I was thinking.

[Mary]

I think that's.

[Justin]

They should.

[Becky Robinson]

Let's do a pickup.

[Justin]

They should do an Angel Reese night.

[Becky Robinson]

They should get her on Dancing with the Stars. I bet she'd do great.

[Mary]

She'll be on next season anyways.

[Justin]

Yeah. I don't know. Maybe Dylan doing the Ramba. He's really. Ramba is definitely one of the better.

[Nick]

Dance the Roomba.

[Leah]

No, no, that's a vacuum. Yeah, you're right.

[Justin]

I think it's the Rambo. Is it not?

[Unknown Female Host]

I think it's the rhomba's a vacuum.

[Leah]

Dancing the rumba. It's still in ephron.

[Mary]

Nice.

[Becky Robinson]

Leia.

[Justin]

His hips were hippin. His twirls were twirl.

[Nick]

Maybe it is the Roomba is also. It's just like sexy.

[Justin]

Yeah, it's a sexy dance.

[Becky Robinson]

Was the Roomba named after the dance or was the dance named after the Roomba?

[Nick]

Because the vacuum does kind of like dance.

[Justin]

Yeah, probably the letter crazy.

[Nick]

You know? Have you ever watched it? It kind of is like back to.

[Justin]

The alleged drama between Alex and, I guess, Whitney. That is the. That is the one. If Dancing with a star has any drama, which it has very little of, it will be, you know, the dancers don't get to pick the songs and the producers will, you know, they will make you dance something that's not your favorite choice. It's a low hanging fruit. So it's definitely possible. I would believe that rumor, so to speak.

[Mary]

Well, Bruno said about Whitney that he thinks we've discovered a star. Which I was like, I wonder and what trajectory he means. But I was like, I definitely feel like Alex Earl's gonna end up on Broadway.

[Nick]

Well, I saw an interview after of them asking Whitney if she'd ever do Broadway and she was like, oh, my God, of course. And she's gonna work on singing.

[Mary]

Literally.

[Nick]

Just the performance aspect of Whitney is just so good. She's just. And then. Did y' all see Connor? He was like painted green. I mean, like the two of them.

[Unknown Female Host]

They'Re just committed to the bit.

[Mary]

They were so cute.

[Nick]

They are committed to the bit.

[Justin]

Listen, Whitney is always committed to the bit. She doesn't matter what room she's in. She is full on committed to the bit. That has always been her strength. It doesn't really.

[Mary]

I was going to say, to be fair, she is kind of meant to be a star because she literally like, has no shame in the best way. Like, you know what I mean? I feel like she just like puts out her personality as is, to be.

[Becky Robinson]

Cringe is to be free.

[Mary]

Yeah.

[Becky Robinson]

And that's like the most important lesson you can sometimes.

[Nick]

Like, we've all been cringe. We have all had cringe moments. And like, she leans into them.

[Mary]

Oh, yeah.

[Justin]

You're never, never bored watching Whitney.

[Becky Robinson]

She has climbed Cringe Mountain and reach the other side.

[Justin]

She's. Even when mom talk started, you know, you, you notice Whitney, her facial expressions were always like, why is she sewing, having so much fun in this living room with all these women she was meant for? Some of them were like, just doing the dance.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Justin]

Whitney was always like, whitney's not boring.

[Becky Robinson]

No, no.

[Nick]

You know who else isn't boring?

[Becky Robinson]

Who?

[Nick]

The thieves who stole from the Louvre.

[Becky Robinson]

Shout out to them. That's like, that's, that's good work.

[Justin]

To real life. Ocean's Eleven.

[Nick]

Yeah, Oceans eleven.

[Mary]

Like, so they dressed up as construction workers and like, the idea of like, disguises. Do you think that they, like, met up in some sort of like, warehouse and like, figured out, you know, they.

[Justin]

Dressed up as construction workers?

[Unknown Female Host]

No, we don't know that.

[Justin]

Role playing.

[Nick]

Yes, no, they do. They did.

[Justin]

So they haven't been caught though. How do we know?

[Becky Robinson]

Here's the thing. Judging by Ocean's Eleven rules, was there a contortionist, construction worker? I want to know if someone was up in the rafters.

[Unknown Female Host]

Basically, it says the criminals use a basket or lift to access a window on the sceney facing side of the building and use power tools to force their way in. The whole operation reportedly took four to seven minutes. Eight priceless jewelry pieces, including items connected to Napoleon Bonaparte, Napoleon III's wife, Empress, and queenly sapphire emerald sets were stolen. One item, the emerald crown of Empress Eugene, was recovered outside the museum but found damaged.

[Mary]

Like, I don't know. I know that it's a terrible thing and like, we don't, we don't steal. But I'm also kind of like, there's something like really badass about this.

[Justin]

Do we hope they not get caught?

[Mary]

It's like, I don't know why I'm rooting for them.

[Nick]

It says the two high security display cases were targeted and eight of the nine items taken remain unaccounted for, including a tiara and a necklace worn by Queen Marie Amelia. Emil, Emily.

[Justin]

No one got hurt. They stole a bunch of shit that ultimately we don't give a fuck about.

[Becky Robinson]

Also was probably stolen in the past.

[Nick]

The thieves forced open a window using an angle grinder and stole jewelry that has sentimental value and is priceless. Four perpetrators appear to have been involved in the theft who were unarmed, but threatened the guards with the angle grinders. What is an angle grinder?

[Mary]

I'm gonna need to Google.

[Becky Robinson]

I don't know, Mary.

[Nick]

They like something you would guards with an angle grinder. It does sound a little lazy.

[Becky Robinson]

It's giving Les. Who is it sentimental for the French.

[Mary]

Somebody owns it, though, right?

[Justin]

And I would argue that the thieves that. I would argue that the thieves don't think it's priceless.

[Leah]

35 bucks.

[Nick]

Who knew you could get away with millions of dollars of jewelry with a $35 angle grinder?

[Becky Robinson]

I mean, exactly. More people should heist. If you're going to steal, do a heist.

[Mary]

But the question, I guess, is it's like, okay, now you have these priceless jewels that are obviously, like, artifacts. What do you do with them? Like, are we selling them on the black market?

[Becky Robinson]

No. See, in the Ocean's movie, they get a jeweler, right? And then the jeweler is going to deconstruct.

[Mary]

A crooked jeweler.

[Becky Robinson]

A crooked jeweler. They had Mindy Kaling do it in Ocean's 8, and then she's going to give them all the little pieces, and then you go and sell pieces.

[Unknown Female Host]

Typically, what actually happens when, like, art is actually stolen is that you end up finding it, like, a couple years later in a museum somewhere else. So, like, a lot of it ends up going in, like, the black market trade of art, and, like, it makes a lot of money.

[Mary]

Well, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong. I know that obviously there's archives at a museum, but a lot of art pieces, too. It's like, they're owned by individuals, right? And then, like, given to the museum. I think it depends.

[Unknown Female Host]

I think it depends because also, a lot of European museums say that they were gifted when they weren't actually gifted. It's stolen artwork or taken from, like, colonization. But that being said, like, yeah, someone does own it, whether it's the institution or it's a person that put it on display.

[Nick]

What's crazy is that the thieves dropped or left behind one item, the crown of Empress Eugene, the wife of Napoleon iii. They just, like, dropped a crown.

[Becky Robinson]

You're like, that's kind of ugly.

[Nick]

It features 1354 diamonds and 56 emeralds. Like, why are we dropping that? Why did we leave that behind?

[Mary]

Do you know how pissed I am that I wasn't walking down the street? Yeah, but imagine being the person that walked, like, down the street saw it and was, like, a good person and didn't pick it up, was like, oh, that's probably from, like, costume.

[Nick]

Some little kids Halloween costume.

[Becky Robinson]

Okay, this is a great. This is a great question of the. Like, you find $20 on the street, what do you do?

[Justin]

Or someone give it to a homeless person?

[Becky Robinson]

What? Well, you find a crown with a bunch of diamonds on the street, what do you do? Are you turning that in? Are you.

[Nick]

Like, this kind of makes me, though, like, want to. And I guess this is obviously, like, a question for my husband, but, like, invest in emeralds. You know, like, all they. They stole all of these. An emerald necklace, a pair of emerald earrings. Like, apparently emeralds are just full of history.

[Mary]

And do we know if there was gold in there?

[Nick]

Gold?

[Mary]

Yeah, like, five times worth what it originally was. Like, nowadays, do you know what I.

[Justin]

Learned about gold on a podcast?

[Mary]

What did you learn?

[Justin]

It is indestructible.

[Leah]

You could melt it.

[Justin]

Yeah, yeah, you can melt it, but it's still gold.

[Mary]

Still gold.

[Justin]

You can change its form, and it will never lose its shine. And, like, we don't know where gold came from. Did it come from outer space? Did it? There's, like, a lot of these theories. Billions of years from now, whatever happens to this Earth, and certainly us as humans, Gold. The gold on your. The real gold that you're wearing will still be here. Nuclear bomb goes off, gold still here.

[Nick]

Do you think they're going to release security footage of this?

[Justin]

How is that only interesting to me?

[Becky Robinson]

I don't have any gold.

[Nick]

Yeah. If you care so much about it, then let's get some more gold.

[Leah]

It seems like a good investment.

[Mary]

Invest in a gold bar. They're like 250,000.

[Nick]

A gold bar. Yeah. Let's get some gold bars.

[Mary]

Just hide them in the safe.

[Justin]

It would be kind of bald to have one gold bar at your house.

[Mary]

Thank you. I think you have to have them.

[Nick]

Stacked in your safe. That's how I've seen them.

[Mary]

That's gonna be, by the way, we.

[Justin]

Have nothing of value at our house. It is dripped to the bones, unfortunately for me.

[Nick]

I wonder if they'll release security footage.

[Unknown Female Host]

Of this, because everything that I've been seeing is people being like, oh, going to the Louvre. And it's like within a couple hours or whatever of showing up to the Louvre, it's like, oh, my God, we're leaving. And it's like they thought it was a fire. They thought something was happening. And next thing you know, they're like, oh, my God, someone stole artworks.

[Justin]

I hope they make a movie out of this.

[Leah]

They should. They will. 100%.

[Becky Robinson]

The thing about this, this heist is that it. It reads to me as Act One.

[Mary]

Yeah.

[Becky Robinson]

You know, they're planning something else.

[Nick]

They have to top it.

[Becky Robinson]

What happens is they do this and they're like, that was easy. Let's go bigger. Yeah, let's steal the Declaration of Independence.

[Unknown Female Host]

Actually, that one, though iconic. Steal that one.

[Mary]

Gen Z also so unserious about everything. It's like, minted. There's a website where you resell things and some of the jewelry is on there.

[Unknown Female Host]

Like, not real.

[Mary]

It's not real, but it's like.

[Justin]

What is Gen Z going to do when they turn 40 and realize the world didn't end?

[Unknown Female Host]

Here's the thing. We're not going to have Social Security. We're not going to have anything. Might as well.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah.

[Unknown Female Host]

What do you mean?

[Justin]

What? I feel like Gen Z was raised on this premise that whether it's Mother.

[Nick]

Earth, Nick, we just got Gen Z audience.

[Justin]

Or the Social Security, there's like, there's no point to anything. And they have this kind of nihilist. Nihilist kind of mentality. What do you guys think?

[Leah]

They'll be fine. Because when you're. Well, when you're living with the, like, idea of none of this matters, like, I can take risks. Like, sometimes it works.

[Unknown Female Host]

I think we're gonna eat.

[Leah]

Not that I would know. I'm a very scared human.

[Unknown Female Host]

But jumping into reality recap headlines. Did you guys see that Kelly from Atlanta Housewives hired Phaedra Parks to represent her in court?

[Becky Robinson]

No, but that's awesome.

[Nick]

Love.

[Justin]

I feel like a lot of people are surprised, but, like, isn't Phaedra a practicing lawyer?

[Leah]

Yes.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah, it reminded me because. Yeah. I mean, when I first saw it, I was like, oh, that makes good tv. But also, she actually is using Pedro as representation.

[Nick]

Why does she need a lawyer with.

[Justin]

Yeah, what's going on?

[Unknown Female Host]

Remember Kelly's ex? Like, she was in an active lawsuit with her ex.

[Mary]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Was this the one that he was living downstairs?

[Mary]

No, that's true.

[Nick]

That's true.

[Becky Robinson]

No, Kelly's the one that has owns the restaurants and the chicken.

[Justin]

Yeah, the chicken restaurant is this. This is giving active lawsuit next season storyline.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah, yeah. I think they're actively filming, so.

[Becky Robinson]

They are. This is like when Sherei used Phaedra as her lawyer. I was gonna say it's like when Kim Zolciak and Candy Burruss went on tour together.

[Mary]

Okay, okay.

[Nick]

Okay.

[Mary]

I was like, it reminds me of Heather Dubrow when she was like. Just so you know, just because like somebody's a doctor on TV doesn't mean that they're not a doctor in real life. Talking about Terry and I'm like, yeah, Phaedra is a practicing.

[Justin]

Well, I think most people assume that, like lawyers or doct who are on tv, maybe they did it in the past, but they're not necessarily practicing these things.

[Unknown Female Host]

For sure. Yeah.

[Justin]

Which I think is often true.

[Becky Robinson]

But I would let Meredith Marks represent me in court.

[Unknown Female Host]

Just imagine, like Phaedra, her energy she brought to the turret. But like in a courtroom and she's like, objection. I would not kiss your ass for Rose.

[Nick]

Closing arguments. Yeah, she's one.

[Mary]

I just want to see the looks. The court day looks.

[Nick]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Becky Robinson]

So did you guys see that Bravo is doing a new series with Heather Gay called Surviving Mormonism?

[Mary]

I did.

[Becky Robinson]

Did you guys know Heather Gay was Mormon?

[Mary]

Yeah, once upon a time.

[Unknown Female Host]

I thought this was fake when I saw it.

[Becky Robinson]

Kind of seems she's really.

[Justin]

She's really going after the. She's really monetizing going after the church these days.

[Becky Robinson]

Good for her.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah. Well, thinking of her evolution because she had what was the first one? Bad Mormon and her second book was Good Time Girl and now it's Surviving Mormonism. She's slowly, like trying to out the Mormonism part more.

[Mary]

It's captioned as real stories of secrets and sin. The first episode of the three part limited series Surviving Mormonism with Heather Gay premieres November 11th on Bravo with all episodes streaming November 12th on Peacock and Bravo. Andy said, this is so brave and great in all caps.

[Unknown Female Host]

I'm sure it is interesting.

[Mary]

All the girlies are supporting her in the comments. I'm for sure gonna watch it.

[Justin]

I wonder if they'll have any of the Mormon wives.

[Unknown Female Host]

Oh, Hulu Bravo crossover might be. You think Bravo would do that?

[Leah]

They have to be doing some sort of like cross.

[Justin]

If it's just like a spin off of Salt Lake City Housew, it's like.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Yeah, I don't think it is.

[Nick]

It's giving like a history on.

[Justin]

Sure.

[Mary]

And like people who were robbed by.

[Nick]

The church bring in Hulu talent for a Bravo Peacock show.

[Leah]

I don't know.

[Unknown Female Host]

It is interesting though, Sierra, if you've recognized they haven't done like housewife spin offs as common as they used to do them back in the day.

[Mary]

Well, because people aren't really like getting married and things. It was always like a wedding special like Tamara and Eddie's wedding or like.

[Unknown Female Host]

Candy and her family. Like, but I feel like there were other things that weren't just weddings, but.

[Mary]

They have a gun like Zolcia for the party.

[Becky Robinson]

For the party.

[Unknown Female Host]

And it's like recently, like this is I guess a sign of them potentially bringing back like the small spin offs. Like wife swap is a small spin off.

[Nick]

Is it out?

[Unknown Female Host]

Angie's just aired.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah, I gotta watch Angie's. It's gonna be awesome.

[Nick]

Yeah, it actually we were watching the preview for it. It looks good.

[Justin]

It does look pretty good.

[Nick]

Well, speaking of Angie Catsinevis, we had a Real Housewives in Salt Lake City episode and we have a rapid recap for it. If you missed that episode. Reeling from the mystery of Soup man, our heroes women face their next roadblock. Packing for a super yacht. Lisa acknowledges her communication issues with John may be a little bit because of her, but only a little bit. Otherwise she is perfect and has never done anything wrong. Angie wants to make things better with Mary, so she brings her yerba mate as a peace offering, which is very household member Kyle coded. Oh, Kyle. Yes, of course, Kyle. Hi Kyle. Mary says her and Angie aren't sisters anymore because Angie made fun of her farts. But is that not sister behavior? Also, according to Mary, it was the dog that farted. And Mary has never made fun of Angie's farts because she is kind at heart. Anyway, in order for them to be friends again, Mary makes it clear that she will no longer tell Angie when she farts. It's called boundaries, people. Then we go to Lisa and Heather where suit man clarity is finally given. Lisa meant suit man, which was just a line pulled out of her ass. Heather is like, you and Angie are the same person in different fonts. Give it a rest, Divalina. Also, Britney kind of reconnected with her daughter. And then big news. Meredith chipped her tooth and bruised her toe, but still decided to wear heels while hiking with Heather. That's share level mother behavior. While hiking, Heather continues to stir the anti Lisa pot and tells Meredith that Lisa definitely tried to get Angie to dig up dirt on her. Meredith believes Lisa would do this, but doesn't care, presumably because of the dirt she has on her. And you know what else is dirty? Bronwyn's recent identity theft allegations. Bronwyn claims the case is 10 years old and legally sealed, so she can't talk about it. But what will she say is that Lisa probably started the rumors. Overall, what constitutes a super yacht? Does that insinuate the existence of a poor man's yacht? Is that not just a boat discuss?

[Unknown Female Host]

It was a really good episode.

[Becky Robinson]

It was.

[Justin]

It was a good episode. A lot of good layers. First of all, I absolutely loved Heather confronting Lisa finally. I just feel like more of that.

[Nick]

And she didn't hold back. She wasn't like. She was like, no, listen to me. Even when Lisa, like, started to cry and get upset and, like, seemed like she was gonna storm out, but she had a couple of things in her hands that she was like, I guess I gotta pay for these, so I'm stay here.

[Justin]

Why is also Lisa, like, holding a.

[Nick]

Stack of so much money?

[Unknown Female Host]

That's what I'm saying.

[Justin]

It was kind of amazing people to see it. It was pretty cool. It was a prop.

[Mary]

It was the same way with the name dropping and the. The event set up being like, oh, my God, and this is for Ben.

[Justin]

And this is for Brad.

[Becky Robinson]

I live a different life.

[Mary]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Yeah. I truly don't know people who are as rich as her that still carry cash.

[Unknown Female Host]

I know a lot of people that still carry cash, especially hundreds. So I think, yeah, but they don't.

[Justin]

Hold it like monopoly money.

[Nick]

She was, like, holding it up. She was, like, counting it out.

[Becky Robinson]

She was, like, waiting. Waiting for her monocle to arrive.

[Mary]

This is at Justin, but I'm like, it's kind of giving Dorit getting robbed for the second time with a stack of bills in her purse at TJ Maxx.

[Justin]

Talk about it. You're. They're literally doing a scene. So, like, you know what I'm saying? Is she actually checking out while doing the scene? Like, obviously not. So she's standing by the register just to hold a wad of 100.

[Unknown Female Host]

No. Call me naive. They're asking you about if you want to sign up for the credit card. I'm over here, like, pausing, counting my money. Heather's over here telling me I'm a bad friend. I'm like, hold on, I'm gonna just count my 200.

[Justin]

Lisa went before filming said scene when they clearly were like, went to a boutique store of a friend, said, hey, can we do a housewife scene? Lisa went to the bank as if she was going to Vegas and took out $3,000 or whatever it was in $100 bills so she could hold it. I mean, she was literally be like, are they in the shot?

[Unknown Female Host]

It was more like 600. I did count her bills.

[Justin]

Whatever.

[Mary]

Not you counting Lisa's money.

[Becky Robinson]

I didn't count her bills.

[Leah]

Listen, I'm not imp impressed. Unless it's a gold bar, period.

[Crystal Minkoff]

True.

[Justin]

Can you imagine those who are fresh from the AT.

[Nick]

I honestly, I can 100 see Lisa, like, dropping a gold bar on this small mom and pop shop boutique and being like, that'll pay for it. And it'll also pay for your new extensions and some teeth white.

[Unknown Female Host]

That's a good idea, actually.

[Becky Robinson]

I see her, like, throwing a gold bar at Angie.

[Justin]

Listening anyways, but shout out to Heather for really, you know, standing her ground and not backing down.

[Unknown Female Host]

I did. I did feel when Lisa, like, wanted to run away and Heather's like, wait, no. And, like, grabbed her arm, and I was like, that's a true friend. Like, that's what we need.

[Nick]

What about.

[Mary]

What do you want me to say?

[Unknown Female Host]

It was the same thing that Mary did to Angie when Mary was like, no, cut the, like, the bs. You are the. You both are the issue.

[Mary]

Yeah.

[Unknown Female Host]

Like, I think they both needed that.

[Nick]

Didn't understand the farts and the dog farting. And then Mary farting. I was like, who's. At the end of the day, who is farting?

[Mary]

But Angie is stronger than all of us. The way that Angie was fighting back laughter. Because there's no way that I could have had that conversation seriously with Mary.

[Unknown Female Host]

The moment.

[Nick]

Yeah. She was like, yeah, swallow it. Swallow it.

[Becky Robinson]

She was like, we're doing a scene. We're doing a scene. We're doing a scene. I can't.

[Mary]

When she kept going, I was like, there's no way. This is what we're really fighting about. And then they just kept going.

[Becky Robinson]

It was the fact that Mary was like, we're not sisters. And then she was like, you said I farted. And I was like, that is. You guys are sisters, sister. And it was really, honestly, like, I have never been so heartwarmed and emotional over a conversation about farts.

[Unknown Female Host]

Me, too.

[Becky Robinson]

It was really sweet.

[Justin]

I know a lot of people are freaking out over Kris Jenner's recent plastic surgery, and I'm not in any way projecting or making any assumptions, but Heather's glow up. And now he's pointed this out several times from watching it recently. First of all, she's looking fabulous this season. Just, like, fresh, you know, but her. From her chin down, whatever she's doing, how are people not, like, just, like, begging for her routine, her surgery?

[Nick]

I don't know what airbrush, what foundation, what body cream, what body lotion, what body blurring foundation, or if maybe that's just her skin in general, but her chest and her titties look immaculate.

[Unknown Female Host]

Heather Gay.

[Crystal Minkoff]

It looks crazy.

[Justin]

Like, she's in her 20s and, like.

[Nick]

Look at her ITM.

[Justin]

And not to. Not to call it any other specific housewife, but when it comes to the ITMs, there are other housewives in some of the outfits they choose where, like, it's just not as flattering. And they're seem to be in the same age as Heather, and Heather looks incredible. Like, it's. It's unbelievable.

[Becky Robinson]

I mean, I just. I think you guys got to go to beauty lab and laser to find out.

[Unknown Female Host]

Before we move on from the fart, though, I do think Mary was valid from. First time's a joke. Second time's like, okay, kind of funny. Third, fourth time. Okay, now it's rude. So I. I think she was valid for that.

[Becky Robinson]

I don't know.

[Justin]

I. I feel like now you're embarrassed.

[Unknown Female Host]

You're shaming her. Oh, you farted like you're making fun of her.

[Becky Robinson]

Okay, Justin, there are things you make fun of me for all the time.

[Unknown Female Host]

And I do it once, and I let it go.

[Becky Robinson]

I don't know about that. Then I let it go, and I still love you.

[Justin]

So bullying is a matter of repetition.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yes.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Interesting.

[Becky Robinson]

But, Nick, how did you feel about Mary setting up. Setting boundaries about this? You know, she was like, I'm not going to tell you when I farted. Is that. Is that a good thing from Mr. Guru?

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah.

[Justin]

I mean, Mary's very good at.

[Nick]

Why does she tell people when she farts?

[Unknown Female Host]

I don't think she. It was confusing, too, because she was like, I told you. But then it turned. The revisionist part was like, it was the dog. The dog did it. And then you assumed it was me, and my fart would never be that.

[Becky Robinson]

And then they cut to the dog, and the dog was like, why am I being brought in?

[Nick]

Dog is like, was it me?

[Unknown Female Host]

It was kind of beautiful, though, to see Mary be like, I only have these friendships every 20 years. Like, I don't see the future without you. And that's why this is something that, like, really needs to, like.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah.

[Unknown Female Host]

Be fixed.

[Nick]

I do love their friendship. It was also nice to see Britney and her daughter. It did feel very much like a scene, you know, it was very much like, okay, Olivia.

[Justin]

Well, they got into it. I mean, it was clearly new for her daughter. I mean, it is new for them.

[Becky Robinson]

Olivia did really well.

[Nick]

No, I thought 100, but it just felt, you know, it was like the first time we see him, and it's like this heartbreaking, which I guess.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah, we.

[Justin]

We do have Brittany Bateman on next week for an episode of Going Deeper. You are not Gonna want to miss it was. It was everything I hoped it would be. She was wonderful. It's very much what I love about going deepers, especially for people like Brittany, where I think they. I think what you see on TV isn't the whole picture of what you see in real life. And it was just really great to get to know her, and I think she's really a star. And I. I hope you guys check it out. Next Wednesday. It was a great episode, and we get into all things Britney. Her background, her childhood, her relationship with her daughters, and certainly Jared.

[Unknown Female Host]

That's all. That's all.

[Justin]

Next week, Wednesday on Going Deeper.

[Nick]

But speaking of getting into history, Bronwyn's recent identity theft allegations, the way that Bravo platforms, any rumor about them is crazy. Like, I feel like we could post on the Vile files and be like, oh, Mary did this. And then it would be, like, in the next season clipped, and it would be a storyline. Like, the way that they just will take anything at face value and be like, put it in the episode.

[Becky Robinson]

Well, I think it's because the girls were talking about it and it's juicy. So they're like, yeah, we're going to.

[Unknown Female Host]

It is a really big headline, too. Like, I remember when that came out and everybody was like, first of all, what? Like, second of all, there's no details. And that's like a wild, wild, like, accusation to be labeled.

[Becky Robinson]

Rodman's response with it's sealed is also kind of. It was kind of sketchy, but also.

[Mary]

I get it because she's been with Todd for, what, 10 years? So it's like, obviously, whatever this may or may not be happened over a decade ago. So to resurface it while she's, like, married, and it make it seem as if it was like, current day. Like, she ran. Like, she stole a car and identity.

[Justin]

Theft all the time.

[Unknown Female Host]

It sounds like she was also in college. And, like, we know the timeline that she was really young when she left byu. So I'm like, even if the reality is Lisa was the one to bring this up, which I don't really think it was, but, like, it's giving.

[Justin]

Bron tried to get into a bar at 18 with a fake ID and is now being accused of identity theft.

[Mary]

Like, something so stupid for sure. But they're like, yes, headlines of a housewife. She's going to jail next.

[Becky Robinson]

It's kind of. I think she should lean into it. Like, it's really cool.

[Nick]

I mean, Todd hates it.

[Mary]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Todd is like, another reason why you need to not be on this show, he literally.

[Becky Robinson]

The fact that he has to. She has to bribe him with ice.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Cream to come on camera.

[Justin]

We were actually. The way that she.

[Nick]

Sorry, I just noticed this. The way that when they were eating ice cream and she's talking to him about Lisa or whatever it was, and she gets upset and she starts to cry and then she just like, is kind of crying, but then also, like, eating the ice cream. I was like, this is the most, like watching you on your couch in your darkest days, like, shoveling ice cream while you're crying with your husband. It was just, it was crazy.

[Justin]

Bravo is a very fascinating world. And we are actually out to dinner with Crystal and her husband Rob the other night, who will be joining us momentarily. And we were, you know, talking about her experience in Bravo and talking about just like, like, the decision to do the show, to not do the show. Obviously, Crystal and Rob have a dream life and Crystal, like, clearly doesn't need it and chose obviously to leave the franchise and the Bravo community and specifically the Housewives. It's really fascinating for the people who, like, don't need this shit, right? I think the best housewives and the most committed housewives and Bravo benefits from the people who, like, who need it, who rely on this paycheck, who, like, you know, get into the weeds. And Brawn is another person who. This is a choice. And Todd is constantly reminding her, like, we don't need this. And you're. And I think you are, you're watching the decision making process between this couple of, like, is it really worth it? I have no doubt. It's fun. Brawan gets to, like, showcase her fashion and be considered, you know, as a, you know, an influencer in the fashion community. But, like, it definitely comes at a significant cost because this world, like, doesn't fuck around. Your relationship in your life is on full display and you will be accused of shit that's not real or the smallest things will be blown out of proportion. And it's a really fascinating world to decide, like, do I really need this shit? Because, like, for the people who don't, it's. It's very easy to say this. This shit ain't worth it.

[Unknown Female Host]

It's just, it's what Todd was saying when he said, look, like, you can decide to go, but, like, you already know what's going to happen. And if you come back, like, I can't say, yeah, you're a big girl.

[Justin]

Like, I don't need to hear it. Like, own your choices. Yeah, I mean, I totally agree with.

[Nick]

Todd There, you know, I am excited to see them all on a super yacht because I feel like when they're stuck together for more than two days.

[Justin]

Like, where's Lisa gonna storm off to?

[Unknown Female Host]

The ocean downstairs.

[Mary]

Also, this like below deck crossover. It's gonna feel like my favorite episodes of Vanderpump Rules when they would do crossovers with Beverly Hills. And it's like you would see them as waiters, like talking shit about them at the table.

[Justin]

Is this a blowjack cross?

[Mary]

It's a below deck crossover.

[Becky Robinson]

Below deck down under.

[Mary]

So we're going to see the below deck people working, being like they're fucking killing each other. And then you're going to see the housewives, like running around storming off, crying.

[Justin]

It's me. Great.

[Mary]

Oh, it's going to be so good.

[Justin]

Thank you.

[Unknown Female Host]

Hi.

[Justin]

How are you?

[Mary]

I'm great.

[Crystal Minkoff]

I'm blending in. I feel very much at home over here.

[Justin]

You look cozy. You look cute. Yeah.

[Unknown Female Host]

Very chic.

[Justin]

Very, very sweatpant chic mom.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Thank you. I was thinking about this morning. I'm like, I'm sort of past the point of needing to dress up for you guys. Y like I'm just gonna roll out of bed and come on over and.

[Nick]

You if that's what you look like rolling out of bed, I mean, props to you.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Thank you.

[Nick]

That'd be nice.

[Justin]

We're excited to get into Love is blind with you. Obviously we had last night. You're a recent new fan. You, you dived into it. But before we dive into Love is blind, we obviously we're going to pick your brain about all things Bravo for a moment.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Okay.

[Justin]

I was telling the audience that we had dinner with you and Rob the other night and we were talking a little, little bts about Bravo. But we, we couldn't help but notice the new kind of wife swap show out there. And it does look entertaining. But is it true that you were asked.

[Nick]

Yes, I was.

[Crystal Minkoff]

In fact, they asked me to be episode one.

[Becky Robinson]

It was gonna be you instead of Wendy.

[Nick]

It was.

[Crystal Minkoff]

No, it wasn't Wendy. I'm not gonna say who.

[Becky Robinson]

Okay.

[Crystal Minkoff]

There was someone else that I knew. They had told me. They never said the names, but they were like, they told me the cities and then, you know, they were very specific that wife swap, they wanted to have elementary school age children. So it was kind of easy to, to figure out who it was, who. So yes, they said we wanted to be episode one. I brought it to Rob and he said no. And then they said, no. I haven't watched it yet, but it looks online that people like love it and kind of made me a little bit like, should I have done it? But, you know, the problem is the thing is, like, what Rob says, like, you don't know what the tone is going to be. And I think, think Angie's seems, from what I'm seeing, super heartfelt and which is sort of the direction I would have liked to have gone. But you just don't know. But I have to imagine the ones coming up are going to be more comedy.

[Leah]

Yeah.

[Nick]

I was going to say they can't all be heartfelt, so there's got to.

[Crystal Minkoff]

You know, I don't think they will be based on what I'm seeing, you know, who they picked.

[Becky Robinson]

So.

[Justin]

And I don't think they're all going to be flattering either.

[Mary]

I don't think Emily's is going to be the most heartfelt.

[Leah]

Correct.

[Crystal Minkoff]

I don't think they're going to be flattering. That's exactly. And that was Rob's thing was like, they didn't tell us the tone because they said we're not going to know the tone until we film it. Which is reasonable.

[Justin]

Yeah. Which is basically like, you know, it depends on what your family looks like and how people respond to you. Like when it's open ended, it's very much open ended. Like if there are reality TV shows because of how reality works. Right. You know this crystal. Like, there are some shows that truly aren't as messy or as risky for some reality TV stars. And if in those rare cases, you'll hear about it, you'll be like, this is not what this show is. This is not our intention. Because if that's what it is, those shows really want you to know because they don't want you to say no for something that's just not something that you have to worry about. The fact that you got a response is like, well, we'll have to see what happens when you show up is the biggest red flag of.

[Nick]

Of.

[Justin]

Of. Of risk, avoidant people. But it. It brought up a fascinating discussion that we had at dinner with you, which is, you know, when it comes to reality tv, specifically Bravo, there are people who do it a curiosity, do it for fun, do it to mix it up. And then there are people who do it because, like, they have to. They need it like the. The funds that they make from being a Bravo celebrity or just like, for some people, they really, you know, they were in the public eye. Maybe their star faded a little bit bit and they needed a bit of a bump. As opposed to someone like you who kind of like, independently successful, you have your businesses, Rob, obviously crushing life. You guys have your thing going on, and it was an opportunity that was presented to you and tried it out. And, you know, it seemed like, from where I stand, that was just kind of like, you know, you guys ultimately just made it a choice where it's just like, you know, it was fun, it was interesting, but like, I don't know. I don't know if I need this shit in my life.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Yeah, I mean, I think as you guys get to know Rob even better personally, I think he's sort of the non house husband personality. Um, he's game for things, I think, for this situation. I mean, we obviously had like a. Him and I talked about it, our family talked about it. For him, he's like, look, like we'll be here to support you if you want to do Housewives, like, because we're very much in the background. And, you know, for him, he doesn't become one of those main house husband characters. He's like, but this, you know, the way they were filming it, he's like, it's the. I. Like I said, I haven't seen it show. But, like, the women come to the house without me, and he's like, so we're gonna be filming a TV show on our own. And like, that's. We don't want to do that. Like, we're here to help you. And so if you went on your own and we. We FaceTimed you or whatever, that's a different show for us, but, like, they were gonna be at the house while I was away. They have two crews, so it's happening at the same time. And he's like, that feels like. Like, this is your thing. It's not our thing. And that's not really fair to the kids because they don't want to do it. And so if you're around to, like, be the buffer, that's. That's one thing. But they said, this is not really fair. And we asked them directly, and, you know, like, Rob told you the story he found on ChatGPT. How do I prevent my parents from forcing me to do another relationship?

[Nick]

I love it. And we're like, well, you can divorce us, I guess.

[Crystal Minkoff]

But once they kind of laid that down, I wasn't gonna push it. And Rob did say this. He goes, look, I said, well, this. What if this is my only opportunity? He goes, if it is, that means the show's not gonna do well. They'll cancel it, and you should be happy you didn't do it. If it's an incredible success, they're gonna come back, and then we can just. And then now we know what it looks like, and we discuss it.

[Justin]

See, that's why you got a winner.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Rob's very reasonable.

[Justin]

Yeah, he's totally right. Right. Like, it's a one or done.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Yeah, exactly.

[Nick]

So have you seen what's going on with Soldier Boy and Candy? Candy?

[Crystal Minkoff]

I have, actually. I can't not see it. I. Every time I open my phone, it's like, Soulja Boy is ranting.

[Becky Robinson]

It's crazy.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Candy. And I'm like, how did they even know each other? And then I saw a Candy responding.

[Justin]

She, like, produced some music with him.

[Becky Robinson]

Well, no, no, no, no. I, like, went down a rabbit hole last night.

[Nick]

Shocker.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah, I know. So basically, what happened is Candy had this guy, Charlie Rocket, who used to be Soulja Boy's cameraman on her podcast, speak on it. And he. Charlie said that during the tour, he sh. Soulja. He was, like, in college. Soulja was also, like, really young. This was, like, you know, back at, like, the height of me. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway, so he was like. During that tour, you know, he hadn't eaten in days. He wasn't getting his per diem or his paycheck, and he wasn't treated properly. And the real tea that Soulja was pissed about was basically Charlie said, soldier Boy, call me into his room. We're staying at the Bellagio. And he wanted to make this really viral video. He said, come to my room. I'm about to order some room service. He orders a thousand dollars worth of service. When he was done, there was so much food left over. I was excited. I saw some chicken figures and was like, can I get those? Because I'm hungry. I'm really, really hungry. He hadn't eaten days. And he said, yeah, have whatever you want. And then Soulja Boy got up and he spat on the food. And it was something that I had never witnessed before. But I'm very grateful for these moments because it taught me how to never treat people when they work for me. And he went on to clarify that he was like, soldier was just a kid. Like, he was just a kid, but I had never wanted to kill somebody before in my life. And then Candy, like, laugh. Anyway, Soulja then went on Instagram live and said he was gonna sue Candy and said, and, Candy, you too, you little bald headed. Send me the address. Let me pull up and tell my side of the story. And later in the live, I guess people were like, not too much on Candy. And he said, they said, not too much on Candy. Fuck Candy. Candy then responded on Twitter saying, I heard Soulja Boy was cussing me out on his live and said he wanted to pull up. Well, I would love for you to pull up. Pull up. Let's speak on it.

[Nick]

Wow.

[Becky Robinson]

So that's what's going on with Candy and Soulja Boy.

[Justin]

She's trying to get him to show up on the podcast again.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah, Candy. We know Candy is an incredible businesswoman, so she's like, yeah, get him on the.

[Justin]

And. And pull up is like a term for like, come to the studio.

[Mary]

Yeah, you're gonna fight.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah, yeah, pull up.

[Mary]

Yeah, yeah.

[Becky Robinson]

Come to the studio on site.

[Mary]

Exactly.

[Justin]

Okay.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah.

[Justin]

It's awesome.

[Crystal Minkoff]

So Soulja Boy never denied it.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

No, he did not.

[Becky Robinson]

He. He did deny the Charlie Rockets to stuff. He was like, that never happened.

[Nick]

But he.

[Crystal Minkoff]

But he focused himself on Candy.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Becky Robinson]

Which he. I think he's mad that Candy had Charlie on the podcast and also that she didn't check with him. But it's like.

[Nick]

But also, like, what. What is his side of the story? Like, I am curious.

[Becky Robinson]

His side of the story is that never happened.

[Justin]

Side of the story is.

[Nick]

Story is I got very lucky to.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Have this story out because last time I heard he was, like, bankrupt. He, like, filed for bankruptcy.

[Justin]

Now I thought he was dead.

[Mary]

That is a true story. By the way, they did say when.

[Justin]

I pitched this, it was like one of those, like, oh, you know, you hear a rumor, like, Adam Sandler died. Adam Sandler's not dead, everybody.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Yeah, just keep putting that out there.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Crystal Minkoff]

No, the last time I heard, it was like, he was. That song made him, like, so much money and then, like, he went bankrupt, which is, I think, kind of Taylor's oldest time.

[Nick]

Yes, exactly.

[Crystal Minkoff]

But so I think this might revitalize.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Him a little bit.

[Crystal Minkoff]

I'm sure Spotify is hitting, you know.

[Becky Robinson]

Exactly.

[Leah]

Doesn't he.

[Mary]

He battles on TikTok Tok.

[Becky Robinson]

Does he?

[Mary]

Yeah, like the, like where you, like, go against somebody else and, like, people who are watching give gifts.

[Unknown Female Host]

They make money off of that.

[Becky Robinson]

Like rap battles on TikTok.

[Unknown Female Host]

Not rap battles.

[Mary]

No, no, no. It's like literally, like, people compete. Spencer Pratt did it.

[Nick]

Hit the chat, guys. Hit the chat.

[Mary]

Yeah.

[Justin]

Should we do that from the office.

[Becky Robinson]

Dubs in the chat?

[Nick]

No.

[Unknown Female Host]

Nobody's gonna give us hearts.

[Mary]

Honestly, it look. It's a really bad look for anybody that, like, bad luck was successful. I feel like it's like panhandling.

[Nick]

No, I don't.

[Crystal Minkoff]

I feel like that's a fall from grace.

[Nick]

We don't even need it.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah.

[Justin]

Is that like, only fans?

[Crystal Minkoff]

No, no, it's kind of like they.

[Mary]

Also make a lot different way.

[Unknown Female Host]

They make a lot of money off of it, though. Oh, well, then.

[Mary]

But it's because you're literally asking people that are watching you to give you money by giving gifts. So it's like almost like, I don't know, tricking. Assuming they have no intelligence that it's like you're still going to be paying to give them this lion.

[Nick]

They're like roses.

[Justin]

It's like fancy bed.

[Mary]

100%. 100%.

[Crystal Minkoff]

That's not below me.

[Mary]

It's considered Internet panhandling.

[Justin]

Well, speaking of making money, Justin, is it true that there are rumors out there that Bravo is offering Wendy Acefo a whole bag, a whole bag of money to air and record and film her entire court proceedings and the whole legal process of her arrest. An alleged insurance for fraud.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah, I mean, I was reading into it and I. I do think we need to take everything with a grain of salt. But, like, alleged, Alleged transition from Candy. I mean, good transition. Candy was one of the highest paid housewives at one point. And the rumor or the statement is that Bravo will make. Potentially make Wendy the highest paid housewife by paying her millions to have rights to air the whole situation. Who knows if it's true? Crazy.

[Justin]

But if. If that. If there is truth. I mean, Justin, when I first hired you, your. Your big. Your big hot conspiracy that DUIs in Bravo World are something that are sometimes allegedly planned to be monetized.

[Unknown Female Host]

That was my conspiracy. I don't know if Crystal thinks that's real, but I just.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Mine wasn't. You know, that's an interesting thing. Cause I did think about them, like, does Bravo. Because the original story was that they pulled Wendy's episode right from Wife Soft, and now they put it back on. So I'm like, are they initially upset? Are they like, oh, shit, you know, the people that we pay, this is a mess. And like, you know, or are they secretly not so secretly excited about the potential? I mean, I know that when Karen got out of prison, they filmed all that.

[Nick]

Right.

[Crystal Minkoff]

I mean, that's. I. I would be interested in just watching those moments, so. And someone that doesn't watch that show. I can see Wendy's being compelling television.

[Becky Robinson]

I mean.

[Justin]

Well, I mean, it makes sense. Bravo has a bonus structure. If you give us. We'll give you. You know, it just. It's. It's a weird thing to incentivize crime. Crime.

[Mary]

Well, I also think Bravo does love a victimless crime in the sense that, I mean, it is insurance companies versus, like, defrauding the elderly.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah.

[Mary]

So I'm kind of, like. It is kind of interesting. It's the same thing with Teresa G. Ice. Like, they waited for her to get out of prison to have her back on Real Housewives.

[Justin]

Not to be a buzz kill, but when you rip off the insurance company, the insurance. Insurance companies don't lose. The people paying premiums do. So just, you know.

[Mary]

Yeah, but I'm like. I'm just like. I just tangentially, I feel like Bravo would platform somebody in the sense of a victimless crime versus, like. And even, like, Erica wasn't actually, like, blamed for it was more so about the earrings or, like, did she know now? So I'm like. I kind of feel like they. It would be actually kind of interesting.

[Nick]

I don't know.

[Becky Robinson]

I think if they do pay her and get her court case recorded, I'm still really, really rooting for my idea Bravo to do a full, like, Housewives court show. Like, Judge Judy style.

[Nick]

Their court cases.

[Crystal Minkoff]

There's certainly enough content out there.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah.

[Becky Robinson]

And fade, like, you know, Phaedra could be the judge. I'm just saying.

[Crystal Minkoff]

I wonder, though. I think I do think that there's some, like, legal barriers that, like, prosecution can put in, like, that they. You cannot benefit financially.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah.

[Crystal Minkoff]

If you're found guilty. Like, I do think that there's some kind of thing in there.

[Nick]

Yeah, because it's kind of like, you know, murderers who then, like, want to write a book and sell. You know, it's like, you can't make money off of your crime. You can't.

[Justin]

Some of them do, though. But that's the thing. I was curious. It's a. I don't know how long.

[Leah]

I think it's.

[Nick]

It's either state by state or, like. Like.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Yeah, I think you. There has to be. It's, like, part of whatever deal you make or something like that, but I don't know. That would be. I. I just. I have very mixed feel.

[Nick]

I.

[Crystal Minkoff]

It's terrible what happened. I just feel bad for their children.

[Nick]

Yeah, I know.

[Crystal Minkoff]

I mean, what were they thinking?

[Nick]

Allegedly.

[Mary]

Allegedly thinking.

[Justin]

I was thinking they needed the money.

[Leah]

Yeah.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Like, then stop buying Chanel. I mean, it's not that difficult. Jacket is $25,000. You know, need to. You don't need to wear that.

[Mary]

Or a jacket is $25.

[Nick]

That's right.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Put a Chanel, you know, necklace on and you're good.

[Justin]

A little.

[Mary]

Get a little iron on. Yeah.

[Leah]

Call it a day.

[Justin]

I mean, how did you handle. Just final. Final question before we get into Love is Blind Crystal. But, like, you know, we've heard from other guests in the Bravo sphere that, like, some housewives can go broke. I mean, maybe literally, maybe like, just figuratively when it comes to glam styling, hair, makeup, all those things. Now, obviously, people can be thrifty, but how did that work for you? Did you feel that pressure? Did you pick and choose when you got glam? Did you just do it yourself and save a few bucks? What was that like? And being in that world, did you see different people affected by the pressures and the costs of glam and styling for their appearances?

[Nick]

Great question.

[Crystal Minkoff]

I dive deep into it on Humble Bragg's episode this week because we talk about Wendy. But, you know, there is a pressure. I remember when I started when they. They officially said, okay, you're the next housewife. I started filming maybe three or four weeks later. And then suddenly I went into high gear of buying clothes, and, I mean, I. I borrowed a lot of jewelry. The good thing about LA is, like, there's a lot of that available, which I don't think most cities have. They don't have access to, like, loaners and stuff like that. And because Rob's in the business, I had Mona Mae pull stuff for me. I had a lot of my friends pull stuff. But I. I blew through my salary within a month. I mean, it costs. You have to pay These people, you know, you glam like, it's not included. And they know, Bravo knows that you're not going to just go there without makeup because. Because you want to represent yourself. Well, when you film four, you know, four months, five days a week, that, that adds up a lot. I would say, like, if I did like a home shoot, I would do my own makeup and hair. Cause I'm like about 30 to 50% of what you film doesn't air. So that's another thing. So I'd actually track what aired and the clothes I. That didn't make it. So I'd wear it for the next season. So I really try to do those things. But like, like, I, yes, there is a pressure, but I told Rob I will not spend a dollar more than what they're paying me. That was our thing is like, make this kind of experience a financial wash. But, you know, I would walk in and all the. Everyone's wearing like head to toe Prada and, and Gucci all day long. I'm like, that is a $20,000 outfit. I. I'm like, are these girls making that much? Are they borrowing it? I had no idea. But there is a pressure because suddenly the audience, they all talk about your wealth. Suddenly you feel like you need to live up to whatever that was. No one ever talked about my money before, but now suddenly I have this like, everyone talk about your net worth and all these things, and you want to live up to it. You want to like, impress people. But then I remember feeling also like if I go too hard early, I'm going to go broke. Like, you really have to pace yourself. But I did a lot of borrowing. I probably bought a few extra bags that I didn't really need. But since I've stopped, I'll tell you, I've just completely stopped shopping again. So there is. It does make you spend a lot more money. My credit card bills were much higher at the time. Yeah.

[Justin]

Crazy. Well, before we get into Love is Blind, you guys have a big announcement of an episode of Humble Brag that drops next Monday. Do you want to tell the people, Crystal?

[Crystal Minkoff]

Oh, yes. I'm very excited. It kind of is celebrating our one year anniversary, which I can't believe it's been one year, you guys. I love you all. We have a very special guest, Academy Award winning actress, philanthropist. She's incredible. Octavia Spencer.

[Nick]

Wow.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah.

[Justin]

And also big Housewives fan.

[Crystal Minkoff]

She's a massive Housewives fan. And I didn't, you know, you don't really know who are closeted fans until you do a show like this, and then your. Your phone starts flooding. I got random DMS from random celebrities, but it was Octavia. She goes like, first, I can't believe they even considered you, Rob. Second, I'm obsessed. And so she and her friends have watch parties. She would text me wanting to know the tea every week. She loves it. She's such a. She's a super fan of, like, other Bravo shows, but she's very focused on housewives. She was super excited to meet Cynthia. She has a new show on Food Network. She had Candy. Back to Gandy.

[Becky Robinson]

Let's go.

[Crystal Minkoff]

But she has her favorites. She loves. She loved the Garcelle Sutton thing. She was very bummed about that. I had to talk her off the ledge for that one. But you just never know who is a fan. So we talk all about it. We talk about her life and journey and her career, but we really talk a lot about who she loves on Bravo. And that's a lot of fun.

[Justin]

It was very cool to have her in the office and meet her. It was a lot of fun.

[Unknown Female Host]

Fun.

[Justin]

So that'll be on Monday, so be sure to check it out on Humble Brag this coming up Monday. If you're not subscribing to their show yet, be sure to do that. All right, let's get into Love is Blind finale finally, where nobody. Nobody got married. Yeah, married.

[Nick]

It's crazy. I feel like they usually have one.

[Becky Robinson]

Couple against their better judgment, get married.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Okay, So I. This is my first season, so I did not know that you go to the altar to say no. And the way they are meeting with the other moms. I mean, dagger to the heart. I think I said, Mary Potter.

[Nick]

Who was it?

[Crystal Minkoff]

And I was like, literally, my chin was on the floor. I had no idea that that's how they ended the show, but I thought one would get. I for sure thought Anton and Ali would.

[Mary]

She kind of had me sold, too.

[Justin]

The way Ali performed up until the moment she said no.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

My God.

[Nick]

Wow. They usually all do, though. Like, even Calabria, you know, like, they all are kind of like, I loved you from this very moment. My looks so handsome. You look beautiful. I. The way that if I'm about to say no, I'm like you. As soon as those doors open, you'll be like, oh, my God.

[Becky Robinson]

She.

[Nick]

Yeah, she's saying no. Like, you would just know immediately.

[Crystal Minkoff]

I have to imagine, because I'm like, I get. Just kept thinking to myself, what? Why they must get bonuses to get to the end. How do you. Why would you do that. It's wild. It's wild.

[Justin]

Very good. Very convincing producers who are like, you know what?

[Nick]

Just do it at the altar. Just tell them.

[Justin]

I mean, I've told this story several times and there is some truth to it. It's also, you know, it's a little manipulation by producers, but it's true. Which is like, listen, if you go on these shows, they all know that everyone's to going has a bit of a like, will I be a star? Question in their mind. And whether you are the breaker upper or the being broken up with, your best moment is your most vulnerable moment, especially on these shows. And a good producer will remind cast to that. And it's true. Like, it'll like the Megan and Jordan breakup. You know, honestly, I don't like, I don't know why they saved that for last because it being on the couch was kind of like as soon as they cut to that scene, you're like, oh, they're breaking up.

[Mary]

You know, it was so lackluster.

[Crystal Minkoff]

No, you're right. I mean, they're very convincing. When you're in it and you feel like you signed up for. There's also like, instead of the soft side, I mean, I've gone through this with other producers. They make you feel very nervous and scared. Like, you sign up for this, there's a line out the door. I've gotten that line of, there's million women who want to be here. You know, you better show up.

[Justin]

There's also the perfect match of it all. There's like, hey, you know, there's the. Listen, there are other couples. You don't know how much air time you're gonna receive. I've gotten that note from producers, but it's like, listen, if you, if we, if it ends up being boring, we may not air it, you know, and it's kind of like I went through this whole thing to like, have it just be erased from existence, you know, like.

[Becky Robinson]

Right.

[Justin]

Which you should be okay with. But that ego, the whole reason you showed up for the, you know, everyone knows there's opportunity and money behind getting followers. And it's just like, you know what? Fuck it. I've come this far. Fuck it. You know, And I think honestly, it's not that hard to convince people to put on the wedding dress, put on the tuxedo.

[Crystal Minkoff]

And I'm convinced though, you're right, because I also didn't realize that they didn't show other stories, like in my first season watching it, right. And I'm like, oh, there's all these random people there. So they probably themselves were going through this whole experience and they were totally eliminated from the show. And probably, no matter how hard it was for them in the real time, they're probably so devastated and pissed that they weren't, they didn't, their show wasn't aired.

[Justin]

Turns out Ali's name is Ali. All of a sudden.

[Mary]

Aline. She said it was the, it was.

[Nick]

The officiant who, like, I feel so bad for these people because it's like this. They, if they do say yes at this altar and they get married, they better have their own wedding.

[Justin]

Do they?

[Nick]

They, they must. There's just like, success for personal reasons. I don't know. But if it were me, I would. Because, like, that officiant is someone that love is blind hired. Like, they have no connection to this couple. They are reading lines off of a script.

[Unknown Female Host]

And like, for all they know, it's a real couple.

[Nick]

And also, half of the seats empty.

[Becky Robinson]

Horrible.

[Nick]

They couldn't even fill them with extras. They just have a bunch of open seats at your wedding and at least.

[Becky Robinson]

Have production get a head count.

[Crystal Minkoff]

It's rough. I, I, it's so shocking. People are willing to do the show. I'm grateful for it. I love it.

[Justin]

If I would, I, if I were to guess the reason behind that. Chris, the show creator, really wants to be as authentic as possible. And there's always a question, who will be supportive in your family? You know, is your family okay with this? Do they think you're crazy for doing this? And so the empty seats, I think plays to that. And now I think it's a bit unfair because everyone's family situation is different. You know, some people, like, don't have large families. Some people, you know, have broken families. Some people, you know, some of the reason for people not having friends and family showing up has nothing to do with the support they're receiving.

[Leah]

But you should just remove the empty chairs then.

[Mary]

And like, also, they're springing this on people's family members being like, hey, so your niece is about to get married in two weeks to a man you've never heard of. Can you be there?

[Crystal Minkoff]

But I think to Nick's point, it's like the empty chair seats is, like, part of the story.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah.

[Crystal Minkoff]

It's not crazy.

[Justin]

Producing. It's a choice. They're, they didn't forget.

[Crystal Minkoff]

It's a choice for sure. And I also agree. I, I don't know if I'd want to see extras there, like KB's. What's the guy what's his name? Edmund's like, his mom didn't show up or.

[Unknown Female Host]

That made me want to cry.

[Becky Robinson]

That was for that whole.

[Unknown Female Host]

Their whole wedding. I was like, that was rough. Like, because we know kb, like, wants to do, like, she's works with people. She has patience, she has love. And like, just seeing her be like, at the end when after she walked away and looked back, she was like, I knew like, that would hurt him.

[Justin]

You want, you just want Edmund to be okay?

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah.

[Mary]

You want him to be okay. But it's also like, I. I don't know if anybody else felt that way, but the way that the wedding ended and like, I love you and whatnot. Like, I thought that they were going to still continue to date after the fact. And then when they finally got off the aisle, she was kind of like, all right, well, I wish you well. And then it was just like, oh.

[Unknown Female Host]

Well, just him saying, like, that was my best shot. Like, I would never get someone like that. Like, he was just saying things that I'm like, oh, my God, we've heard this before. Resonates.

[Leah]

Has anyone ever decided, like, okay, we're not ready to get married after these two weeks, but maybe we continue our engagement. We like hang out.

[Justin]

People have definitely tried to date. I don't think it's ever really worked. I mean, honestly, the only person it really worked out with for a period of time was Raven, who we famously had on our show and at the time was our most listened to episode after. Then she was. Was cheated on later. What was his name? I forgot. But they, they. They legit dated for a period of time, but they broke up. They.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Crystal Minkoff]

How did they end on their show? Did they.

[Justin]

I. I think, I don't know who said no? One of them said no. They. They made it to the altar. It was like, it was a very, like, heartbreaking ending. The families were very close. There was a lot of mutual respect. It was SK SK but one of them said no, but they very much kept dating. And then he had like a whole second girlfriend. You know, it was a whole. It was a whole thing. So it has happened and it can happen. The moment Ali went in her speech, she goes, I have all the information we need to make a decision. And I was like, oh, you're breaking up with him?

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah, yeah. Perfect match is ready for her.

[Justin]

Oh, yeah. She was like fantasizing about like the swimsuit she'll be wearing. And the way I'm sure this is obviously, I mean, he was still doing it, but the way he was munching on the snacks and drinking that drink. So, like, how are you so hungry with a broken heart? Like, I don't like.

[Leah]

Well, some people turn to food when they're feeling things.

[Nick]

Well, I mean, but it was just like, the way that they edited it where she's literally sitting there being like, he's not healthy. He doesn't work out as much as he said he did. He drinks a lot, and then it pans to him and he's like, shoving the chips.

[Justin]

Doritos and champagne.

[Nick]

He's drinking the champagne.

[Becky Robinson]

My favorite was him being like, she can't cook. She can't clean. She spends too much money. But she does have other qualities that I like.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

This is why I do wife swap.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Can you imagine Ralph listing all the shit I don't do? And then I'm just sitting there eating chips like, it's so rough that.

[Unknown Female Host]

I mean, who I felt bad for Ali.

[Nick]

For Ali.

[Unknown Female Host]

I felt bad for her.

[Nick]

Why?

[Crystal Minkoff]

Because I've been being pushed for TikTok. She's very much enjoying the limelight right now. Like, don't feel bad.

[Unknown Female Host]

No, I've seen that.

[Justin]

Is she tiktoking hard?

[Unknown Female Host]

She is, but seeing her cry and be like, take this dress off me.

[Nick]

I was like, oh, my God.

[Unknown Female Host]

And she collapsed to the ground. No, I felt it. I felt it for her.

[Crystal Minkoff]

No, I think it's fake.

[Leah]

She lied point blank to Anton's mom. In tears, by the way, Justin.

[Unknown Female Host]

She felt pressured.

[Justin]

What'd she lie about?

[Leah]

Your son. Yeah, I love your son.

[Nick]

I'm gonna, like.

[Leah]

Lie to his mom. It's like, you know, you're gonna go to down the aisle, you're gonna say no. It's like, the least you could do is, like, not, like, make his mom have false hope.

[Justin]

Yeah, she definitely. She definitely had a producer saying, all right, if you do this, you have a chance at that. And she was full on acting.

[Unknown Female Host]

No, but I have a point. Like, what's worse? Lying to a mother on television. Well, actually. Wait.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Yeah.

[Justin]

No, no, no, wait, wait.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Number one right there.

[Leah]

Horrible.

[Unknown Female Host]

What's worse?

[Justin]

The way Justin will, like, commit to writing for a villain is awesome, isn't it?

[Unknown Female Host]

It makes sense. Let me have my soapbox.

[Mary]

There's an art to it.

[Justin]

All right, let's hear Justin out.

[Unknown Female Host]

I felt for Allie because, like, she's in two positions. She either breaks up with Anton to the mother's face on national television, or she just says no at the altar and walks away and looks pretty. Like, I think you look worse. Like, breaking up to the mother. Mother, like saying it to the mother's face. I think you get a worse edit than like leaving the altar.

[Nick]

But she didn't have to say all that.

[Leah]

Yeah, she was like. She like, she like teared up and she's. I think now that I have a son too, I'm like, I like see the pain in the mother's eyes to like watch. I did feel bad up there getting publicly like broken up with. And it's like 20 minutes ago you told me that you were gonna protect my kid and love my kid for the rest of his life and now you're up here pulling this shit like.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Yeah, but by the way, she didn't even. She wasn't just like, like, at least was like, I love you. Just I'm not the person. She's like, you are not who I thought you were. Now that I've seen it like, like, or gushing to the mom like, that's rough.

[Unknown Female Host]

You guys aren't gonna like my fan edit that I made for Ali fan edit because I honestly, I saw. I think it was Anton's sister.

[Leah]

Say like, can I play it?

[Unknown Female Host]

Play it.

[Nick]

Fan edit.

[Justin]

Fans.

[Unknown Female Host]

I've never.

[Nick]

But the way I've never made a fan edit. Time to make a fan edit.

[Unknown Female Host]

I didn't. It was like.

[Leah]

Oh, it was like. It was like 1am and Justin and.

[Justin]

I, yeah, he's allowed to have a life.

[Unknown Female Host]

Here's the thing. It was because I saw Anton's sister say she's a cold, hard.

[Nick]

Like, oh, that was crazy.

[Unknown Female Host]

And I was like. And I was offended. Like I felt it and I had to like make an edit.

[Crystal Minkoff]

She did. That was, that was the sister.

[Nick]

Yeah, that was crazy. The sister.

[Crystal Minkoff]

But I would have said that.

[Leah]

I would have said that too.

[Justin]

She is ride for your people.

[Crystal Minkoff]

She's a pretty girl.

[Mary]

She's fine. Too hot to handle. Kendall, Perfect match.

[Leah]

Okay, I found it. I'm gonna just quickly.

[Unknown Female Host]

Like, I've never made a fan at it, by the way. I was just like felt inspired.

[Nick]

Well, the, the way that so many people have gone after Nick and I and you've never made us a fan at it. It says a lot about you.

[Unknown Female Host]

I think if someone called you a cold hearted at the altar, I'd be like, you know what, Justin?

[Justin]

It would take you five seconds to find that online.

[Leah]

I found. I have it here. Ready.

[Unknown Female Host]

Oh my God.

[Justin]

You got to post this.

[Crystal Minkoff]

I love it.

[Justin]

But you have to make sure that you're in the comments saying, this is you.

[Leah]

Fake, fake.

[Nick]

I love you.

[Leah]

I Don't see tears.

[Mary]

It's the Botox.

[Leah]

There are no tears coming out of her eyes.

[Justin]

That's not true. There's.

[Nick]

It was a little wet.

[Mary]

I saw real tears.

[Unknown Female Host]

I did make one for kb, but I think it's a little misleading because I used Olivia Rodrigo and it's Traitor. I think it's a song. I don't think KB's the traitor, but I felt the pain. Wow.

[Crystal Minkoff]

You know for sure, I think KB just saw him at Edmund, right? As like his a son. Like, she needed to like take care of him.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Leah]

But she did the same thing. Like if she like, I get what you guys are saying about like waiting till the end, but it's like if you really do care about the person, like give them the courtesy of breaking up beforehand.

[Justin]

Listen, those TV producers are very good at what they do.

[Crystal Minkoff]

This was the one I felt like is going to affect him in real. In real life. Like, she shouldn't have done this. She should have done it without the dress on.

[Mary]

I was going to play devil's advocate though. It is a TV show and they need people to walk down the aisle. What a shitty ending of the show.

[Unknown Female Host]

If nobody did the altar walking with Edmund. And I feel like usually they split.

[Crystal Minkoff]

And they're cold hearted bits.

[Mary]

I also did not. My eyes did not well up once during this.

[Justin]

She took one for the team. She's a hero.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Okay, wait, can we talk about Sparkle?

[Becky Robinson]

Sparkle, which I.

[Crystal Minkoff]

She's so unsparkly to me, like as a person.

[Leah]

I love Jordan. Jordan was my favorite the whole season.

[Unknown Female Host]

Jordan silent crying. When he didn't say anything and he just cried. I was like, oh my God.

[Nick]

Fan edit.

[Mary]

Are you kidding?

[Justin]

The single tear.

[Crystal Minkoff]

She's the villain.

[Leah]

Yeah. Wait, Justin, why didn't. I didn't see the sparkle. Megan.

[Unknown Female Host]

It was midnight. We had two hours. I was like, let's go.

[Crystal Minkoff]

I just found like her whole thing. Is she like that wealthy?

[Unknown Female Host]

Why is she acting like she has to be?

[Justin]

I mean, they talk like she is.

[Leah]

I saw somewhere that she's making like 800k a year or something.

[Justin]

I mean, listen, I'm not saying that's not a lot of money. That's an incredible amount of money. But if you make 800k a year, you. Most people, including Sparkle met Megan, develop a certain type of budget.

[Leah]

That could be very wrong. I saw it on like a random Instagram.

[Nick]

What's crazy to me though is the fact that like she knew all this in the pods. Like, you know, he was a dad. He told you so Many times, like, life is different when you have kids. Like, you're gonna have to sacrifice a lot. So, like, just letting you know. And she was like. And I'm fine.

[Unknown Female Host]

I'm fine.

[Nick]

But that's just so. And then she, like, fought to meet Luke Luca.

[Mary]

Remember?

[Nick]

She, like, cried, and she was like, so I'm not gonna meet him before I walk down the aisle. And then, like, you meet him, and then you're like, tell Luca I love him, or whatever the hell she said.

[Justin]

When he was like, my one regret is introducing her to Luca.

[Crystal Minkoff]

I felt that because that one.

[Leah]

I felt those were real tears.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Yeah, that was real. Yeah, that was real.

[Becky Robinson]

Wait, Crystal, I have a question for you about Sparkle Megan. What kind of car do you think she drives?

[Nick]

She drives a Range Rover.

[Leah]

She already told us, after all that it's a Range Rover.

[Becky Robinson]

Just tell someone you have a Range Rover.

[Nick]

And I literally guessed that the first time she. First Episode 1 of.

[Justin]

She screams Range Rover.

[Nick]

She screams money.

[Justin]

While I definitely felt it wanting to protect Luca, you know, as a parent, you're just like, oh, my God. Introduce you to our kid. But, like, Luca will not remember this moment. He won't give a shit.

[Nick]

Well, the fact that's not true, because it's on a national.

[Leah]

He's older.

[Justin]

I'm just saying, like, the way Jordan is reacting, and that's how I like. To be clear, if I were in Jordan's shoes, I would have reacted exactly how he reacted, and I would have felt. Felt exactly how his felt. And I would have felt genuine regret for introducing, you know, this person I was dating. That being said, in reality, it's just not that big of a deal. Like, you know, it's not gonna.

[Nick]

I don't think that's, like, your position to tell him that, like, clearly, he's very sacred about who he's bringing into his life.

[Justin]

But that's like a.

[Nick]

So the fact that, like, he had this woman where he clearly warned her several times of what this life would be like. She then sat there and, like, begged to meet his son. Son. She introduces his son. And then in her breakup speech, she's like, tell Luca I said hi. Or Luca's amazing. Whatever the she said. And it's like, oh, on a personal level, it.

[Justin]

She treated it as if it wasn't as sacred as he made it very clear to her that it was. I'm just saying, I think a lot of parents, and as a parent, I say this is like, there's a. It's almost as if, like, I introduced him to someone I thought was gonna be a stepmom. And now he'll never see her again. And that wasn't fair to Luca.

[Crystal Minkoff]

But he never said that.

[Justin]

I know.

[Nick]

He just said, I regret.

[Justin]

I feel like it's implied.

[Crystal Minkoff]

I get what you're saying. I actually just think. I think what you were saying is really. That part was true. Is that she.

[Nick]

Sparkle.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Whatever her name is. Didn't I know.

[Nick]

It's, like, stupid.

[Crystal Minkoff]

I know.

[Nick]

It's very catchy.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Yeah. That it wasn't as important to her and that's why they're not together. Because that relationship, while she's like, oh, I want to take care of him and raise him, be like, she didn't really, really understand the magnitude of being a parent while she shouldn't, because she's not right. But to him, that's his whole world. He clearly is like, a. A guy that works hard, you know, he has a lot less money than her. You know, he's like, whatever the whole thing. And she wants her own big life. And she's like, yeah, I love your kid.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

He's so cute.

[Crystal Minkoff]

But it's like, so it's not a big deal.

[Justin]

I do think Megan was. Between the three women who broke up with the men, I think she was the most sincere and actionable, actually evaluating the relationship to see if she could marry this guy. I think, like, KB early on, Edmund made it very clear. Sweet man, great heart, not ready for what I'm looking for. Ali, I think, knew pretty early on, I can't marry this man.

[Nick]

When she asked him about that tequila bottle and that.

[Justin]

Yeah, as soon as that tequila bottle, she was immediately out. Right. And I think, Meg, Megan, Jordan was a guy who very much wasn't her type, but had obviously a lot of great qualities that, like, she knew she should want to like. Right. You know, it's just like, hey, it's what? My heart versus my head. And, like, she had never dated a man with a kid before. She, like, needed to meet the kid in a way. Like, she. I think she really searched her heart. And then by the time she got to the end, which was all the more like, she didn't take him to the altar. I think it was more. More real for her. And knowing how this shit works, she had to fight with producers to, like, break up with Jordan the way she did. She had to, like, flat out refuse. They were meetings. People came in. There were probably several conversations with Sparkle. Megan being like, hey, listen, what about this? And she was like, no, she. She definitely had to Put her foot down.

[Crystal Minkoff]

So I knew it was over. When she walked into his office apartment, when she saw that Luca had his own room and that there was like a pull out couch was where he slept, I was like, she's never going to marry this guy. Because I always say this about, you know, people say, oh, how long, you know, how are you and Rob still together? You know, it's 23 years. What I'm like, love is like basic, but it's actually lifestyle. You have to agree in your. The way you live every day together. Because if you don't that you're always going to fight about that and you're never going to respect the person if you guys can't share the same values of your life and how you live your life every day. And I'm like, she's. She walked in there, she's like, I just saw her face. Because I'd be the same. Like, I'm not living here.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Like, I can't live this life. And so while I do think that she really did love him and she wanted to see if she could make it work and meet the kid and fall in love with the kid or whatever, it was like she was done at that moment.

[Leah]

You think it was that or the chicken smoothie?

[Becky Robinson]

Oh, my God, the chicken smoothie was psycho.

[Crystal Minkoff]

So crazy.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Crystal Minkoff]

But the guy, it's like his life's like, she didn't like, like the way, you know, he's like, whatever, I don't eat. Have to eat what you have to eat. And I understand in his mind it's as simple as that. But she's someone that wants to probably travel the world and she's a worldly person and she wants to eat different things. And that's under. Like, that'd be unattractive to me if a guy was like, I don't want to. If Rob didn't want to, like, try food from around the world, I would be like, we're out. Because that's. That's your lifestyle.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah.

[Justin]

I don't think it was as much the money as Jordan acted like it was and more.

[Leah]

I'm sure that's like a soft sore spot for him.

[Unknown Female Host]

Sure.

[Justin]

But the way he presented, or at least the way it was edited it is. If he accepted mediocrity in a way that she did not want, it's like everything was comfortable and he obviously it was centered around his love for his son and being a dad. And obviously that's the one thing he made very clear that he wasn't okay with mediocrity. With mediocrity, which I totally respect is like being present, being an amazing father, which is paramount and more important than anything else. But I think you can have your cake and eat it too. And he just opened. Always felt like average was good enough. And I think she just wanted to hear whether it was about money or to your point, Crystal, like just like adventurous like. Or just to have a drive. A drive for something right out, you know, being. Having a drive to be a good parent, you could argue is. Should be bare minimum. And like you, you do want a partner that can be passionate about something and have a shared mutual interest. And I think that's where she, she couldn't find that.

[Nick]

That with Jordan, it also is nuts. He's like, I want to like watch a movie, you know, and. And she's like maybe once a month, like maybe we can do that. But I want to be like out on the town. It's like that. Sorry. Like you chose a man with a son. Like he's not going out all the time. He is at home cooking dinner and watching a movie and going to bed early. Like that's what his lifestyle is. He told you in the past. So it is frustrating.

[Leah]

I do think too that like part of Megan's attraction to Jordan was that she recently lost her father. And I think that she felt like there was like a higher. Like her dad sent Jordan to her. And so I think that that swayed her decision very quickly and I think that it kind of clouded some of the things that he was saying in the pods about his lifestyle.

[Justin]

Also, like, it really seems like Jordan is a good guy with like a hot high with high character. And I think she, she certainly saw that. And it wouldn't surprise me as we all have exes who just aren't that, you know, who are a little toxic, who don't make us feel is validated and loved. And I think she really struggled because I think she saw a great guy, but it wasn't her guy.

[Nick]

Well, especially because the other guy she was going to go with was Mike and he was like literally toxic Central.

[Leah]

I'll never get over his comments about health and diabetes.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Yeah, you really thought he was the shit he did. Yeah, he was part of a club. I thought they were a good match. But then when he like talked to her at that like cowboy bar place, whatever, I was like, this guy, this fool looks dumb.

[Justin]

Well, there is a reunion. I think they announced that. What, yesterday or something like that?

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Crystal Minkoff]

What does that look like? I'm Very excited.

[Becky Robinson]

It's entertaining.

[Nick]

There's a couple of, like, past cast audience questions. Like, there's like a performance or two. Random.

[Justin]

I hear it's gonna be juicy. Hopefully not that juicy because we will certainly have some. Love is Blind cast members following the reunion. So wait.

[Crystal Minkoff]

We have not spoken about the news that came out today.

[Justin]

Tell us more.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Megan has a baby.

[Justin]

Sparkle Megan.

[Leah]

Is this confirmed, though? I thought this was a rumor.

[Justin]

Sparkle M3 Gan is pregnant. Prego with child. Has a child.

[Unknown Female Host]

Wait. Us Weekly. Love is blind. Sparkle M3 Gan spotted with mystery man and a baby after season nine finale.

[Leah]

Unconfirmed. If this is true. Her man and her baby. She was spotted with a baby and a man.

[Justin]

She could have been in line at a Chipotle.

[Crystal Minkoff]

They're well respected news source, Nick.

[Becky Robinson]

They did a Desperate Housewives photo shoot with the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. They know what they're doing.

[Crystal Minkoff]

No, I read that. I kind of was diving into it this morning because I'm obsessed, you guys.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

I'm obsessed with it.

[Crystal Minkoff]

But it looked like.

[Leah]

I mean, they filmed the US Sun.

[Nick]

Journalist.

[Becky Robinson]

Journalist.

[Crystal Minkoff]

But, you know, they filmed this a year and a half ago. So I was like, oh, no, it's totally possible.

[Unknown Female Host]

Possible. It says an infant, though. Like, can you have, like, is infant the right age?

[Justin]

Right. Mystery man and child in the. In the same photograph.

[Mary]

They're also not even.

[Leah]

They're also not even in a picture together on this.

[Justin]

It'll make a headline, but it won't necessarily be true.

[Crystal Minkoff]

All right, fine. You guys need a little too much confirmation. I'm going to believe it.

[Justin]

I remember when it was during the pandemic, I went. I went running often, as I did without a shirt. And the paparazzi. Somehow, I don't know, we're bored. So I was living in Venice at the time. And they were out. That was a great shot of me. And the headline was, Nick Vile running nearly naked. As if I decided to go out streaking.

[Crystal Minkoff]

But they weren't wrong. You're out riding nearly naked.

[Justin]

In a way, for sure. One of my favorite headlines.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Once again, that's confirmation. And Sparkle Megan as a baby. That's my tagline today.

[Justin]

Sparkle Megan as a baby. Well, we know, Krystal, you gotta get going, but thanks for coming. Coming on. Come back more. Watch some more reality tv.

[Crystal Minkoff]

I mean, I'm stuck on it. It's a true joy to watch the show. It's like so much fun. And I can't believe that I get so many. I think eight seasons.

[Justin]

You need to watch Temptation island when it comes out.

[Crystal Minkoff]

That sounds horrific.

[Justin]

Right after Age of Attraction.

[Crystal Minkoff]

What is Age of Attraction?

[Nick]

That's our show that we're hosting on Netflix.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Is it out yet?

[Nick]

[Justin]

Becky, welcome to the show.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Thank you so much guys. Thanks for having me.

[Justin]

That's good to be with you.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah, same.

[Mary]

Where should we start your first comedy special? How did you come up with like there's just so many questions. Entitled Housewife.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah, it's first special's coming out on Friday.

[Nick]

So exciting.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

I'm myself.

[Unknown Female Host]

Are you?

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

A little bit, yeah.

[Justin]

I'm assuming you've seen it though.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah.

[Justin]

Do you like it?

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

No, hate it. You know when you watch something so many times that you're like, it's not funny anymore, just editing it and like, you know, you're like, use that angle on that face. No, I'm really excited. It's. It was. We turned down all the streamers and like ended up making it ourselves. I paid for it, I directed it. I pretty much with like an all female badass team. And so we got to make it exactly how we wanted and it's coming out exactly how we wanted and yeah, I'm really excited.

[Justin]

What made you. I mean, that's obviously amazing. First of all, like, but. And the. You really obviously must believe in it and believe in yourself. But like, what was that? What was that? What was that? Kind of like that thought process of. Of saying, you know, there's these opportunities to work with the streamers. And I'm sure part of that process is like, every streamer has their rules and their way. And I'm guessing, you know, while all great, you had a belief in yourself and you were betting on yourself.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah, yeah, I had to.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

It's kind of. I've always done characters and stuff I've like, always loved like Sacha Baron Cohen and Eric Andre and stuff. And for some reason I've been doing stand up for about 15 years and characters the whole time too. But for some reason there's always been like, confusion, like, why the characters? Like, why are you dressing up as a young boy? Why are you playing like young Hillary Clinton or like anything? And. And I just think, I don't know, we all have a lot of personalities, especially women. We go through like, you know, a few personalities a month.

[Nick]

A day.

[Unknown Female Host]

A day.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Truly a day. So I just kind of was like, ah, the only way we can really make this exactly how we want. With like half of it is the character, half of it is me as myself. And then there's like a sketch in the middle. I'm like ripping through Boston, the streets of Boston, on this custom golf cart past Fenway Park. This golf cart has like wine racks on it, wine bottles with breaking and yeah, everyone was kind of like, no, especially for your first stand up special people have a lot of rules and like, it has to be this long. And like, no, just you or just the character. And none of the sketch. Like, it just. No one definitely would have put in the. Put the money up, the amount of money needed to make this scale of a thing. So since I've kind of been on tour for, like, the past five years doing this character and all the people that have supported me and, like, paid to come to the shows, like, this is for them, you know, I was able to make it because of them. So I was like, I want to give it to them the way they deserve to see it.

[Nick]

So you were rich?

[Leah]

Were.

[Nick]

Well, it's.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

It's been lucrative. Like, the character was birthed out of, like, one of my darkest, darkest moments. And it's. I just never thought, like, this would have happened.

[Nick]

It just.

[Mary]

Ordinarily, I wouldn't pry about your darkest moment, but, like, I do want to know how. How she came to be the entitled. Yes.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

I mean, did you guys get a little down in the dumps over the pandemic? Oh, God, yeah.

[Nick]

Yeah, sure.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Not at all.

[Nick]

Nick was living in Venice. We had just started.

[Justin]

It's just weird. Like, I had. I had some. I had some personal highlights during the pandemic. I was like, you know, no, the world's burning. It sucks. I'm sorry.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah, I get that.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Mary]

Next, just like, strap on a pair of roller skates. What are you guys so mad about?

[Justin]

I knew the world was burning, but I was like, I keep just like, I don't everything.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Like, I'm having a good time. I'm cozy.

[Becky Robinson]

I got immune to weed.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

I would say I got immune to booze, but, yeah, I was doing like the morning merlot.

[Leah]

Yep.

[Justin]

Like, the morning merlot's. That's tough.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah, it's tough on the teeth.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Like, yeah, we couldn't. We weren't supposed to, like, but like, if God forbid, you walk out of here, you're like, your teeth are brown, you know, like, yeah, I've tied one on this morning.

[Mary]

We used to call that George Washington teeth.

[Nick]

Yes.

[Mary]

When it looks wooden.

[Nick]

Yes, of course. Yes.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

So the pandemic hit and, like, you know, I'm used to doing standup every night and performing and having that outlet. And I grew up in tough cul de sac outside of war torn Portland. My sister and my parents still live up there. And my sister is an easy. And so she was like, you should probably come home. I don't know if mom and dad are gonna survive this. They're both kind of like high risk. Dad's large man. And so I went up to Oregon and I was like, helping my sister out for a bit. Just like, you know, she was like, I could die. Whatever. There was like, no ppe.

[Nick]

Remember?

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

It was like, dark times in the hospitals there, and I was kind of helping her for a little bit. And then I started spiraling and, like, drinking every day. I cut bangs on Instagram Live.

[Nick]

Wow.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

It got dark. Real dark.

[Unknown Female Host]

We're the. They even?

[Nick]

No, of course not.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

They were like Tanya Harding.

[Justin]

Like, that was a wild time. I. I also shaved my head. It was like, you know what? It. Why not?

[Mary]

I gave myself layers.

[Leah]

You did?

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah.

[Mary]

I think it worked out, but, like, there's no one to judge it, so.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Layers are fairly safe.

[Mary]

You can buck them up and they still kind of look okay.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah, Just meld them in a little bit. Yeah. So I kind of. I eventually got, like, really, really down and drinking to the point of like, oof, this is kind of scary. And my sister was like, I've got patients to take care of. I can't deal with you as well. You should go to mom and Dad's. And so she shoveled me out over there, and I went to my parents, and they were just having the time of their lives. They were like, this. Golf is all we have. And my dad was golfing three times a day, and instead of wearing a mask, he was wearing a golf glove on both hands. And my mom was like, fuck this. I don't want to stay inside. I want to go to the Thirsty lion and have a white claw with girls. And so I. She's had a lot of health issues herself. She's like breast cancer and a brain tumor, so she gets turned off half a claw. And she was just like.

[Nick]

She did?

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah. And so I was watching them, and I was just like, you guys are out of your damn minds. And it just kind of inspired this thing. I had packed a bunch of wigs to go up to Oregon anyways, and. Because I knew I might have, like, a mental breakdown as you do.

[Justin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Leah]

Just in case.

[Nick]

Just in case.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Let's, you know, let's bring some toys. And they left the house. And one day I just, like. I put this bob wig, and I went into their closet, and I found a polo and a skort and a visor and my dad's Oakleys. And I threw on the airpods, and I just looked in the mirror, and it was like. I just started improvising. And it was. I was like, scott. I started yelling at a husband I don't have and these two fake kids, Dashiell and Maccabee. And I truly Laughed for the first time in, like, months. And I started filming myself because I am a bit of a narcissist at the end of the day. And I was like, maybe I should put this online. And I thought, no, you can't do that. It's dark times. And I took an edible and I was like, fuck it.

[Mary]

Yeah, that's what it does. Yes.

[Nick]

Gave you all the power.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

If it made me laugh, maybe it was. I showed my sister and she was like, I think it's funny. And I posted the first video and it just like, blew up and I just never. I always slept like Chris Pratt DMed me and was like, if you're making a movie, I'm playing your husband. So now we've been working on a movie and it just has, like, turned into this amazing thing. And so, yeah, after that, she was. She was birthed. And I kind of like, birthed this whole, like, entitled sphere during. During this manic episode. And I don't know, people have just latched onto it. I made them laugh and. I don't know. Yeah, housewives and just women. I've met so many amazing women now, like, just internationally, like, even in Dublin. And yeah, it's just been this amazing thing.

[Mary]

That's one of my favorite parts of your standup special, actually, is the panning to the audience.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Mary]

And it's just like, everyone's got a wig. Everyone came dressed ready to go.

[Leah]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Everyone brought all their wigs to Portland.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Everyone.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah, everyone comes dressed as the character, which is really fun.

[Justin]

Fun.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Like, our first tour date, we didn't know what was going to happen, and it was just unhinged, like, visors descending on the cities and like, yeah, we have to call 911 at like, a lot of the shows just because, you know, it's like a. It's like a multi generational thing too, which has been really beautiful. Like, a grandma will bring her daughter. Then the. And they're like, this is the only thing we get along about is your character. And they'll come. But then, like, the grandma will get too lit or like, she'll take an edible for the first time or like mushrooms, you know, and fall down the stairs. It's been a wild, fun thing. But I think the show also just gives, like, they're like girls night out. Like, gives people the permission to just be like, we're getting like.

[Nick]

I feel like you have raised the, like, cost of visors. Like, I feel like they were definitely. No one was buying them. Yeah, but we were very confused, honestly, of why they were invented in the first place, for sure.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Never a good look.

[Nick]

It doesn't really make a lot of sense because you can still see the man's bald spot, you know, And I feel like that's what we're totally to cover.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Accentuates it.

[Nick]

It does. It really accentuates it. It's like a nice corset for the bald spot.

[Leah]

It is.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah.

[Mary]

Not a corset.

[Justin]

Has your golf game gotten better?

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

It's a tree skirt. Yeah, it has. I always was like, golf is too serious. My dad is like, a huge golfer. Like, played in college and kind of just like, takes it very seriously and is like, we don't drink. And I. I was like, you know, no, dad. Yeah, dad. This is because it's such an unpredictable game when you suck or you're good. But. Yeah, I've fully joined a country club. I play all the time. It's really good for the mental state.

[Nick]

Yeah. My dad was a golf pro for his whole marriage with my mom, and it's probably why they got a divorce because she was like, you've moved us to every state trying to be a pro golfer. We moved.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Got to stop.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah.

[Nick]

And at one point, he was the 11th longest drive hitter in the world.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Wow, he's strong.

[Justin]

How is Scott doing?

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Oh, Scott, you know, he's. He's on the decline.

[Nick]

Is he?

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

He loses everything. He doesn't listen. You know, he's just a man.

[Justin]

Have you pulled any inspiration from some of your reality TV housewives?

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

You know, I don't watch a lot of reality tv.

[Mary]

It's so funny, though.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

You're like, did Katie tell you that I did a cameo on your season of the Bachelor?

[Justin]

Yes, someone told me that.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was your season. I think it. Yeah, it was. Did you guys do a thing where you acted out, breaking up?

[Justin]

Yes.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Okay. Yeah, I was the, like, act. The trained actor that came in to act out for you guys how to do that.

[Justin]

That's when I got punched in the face.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yes.

[Becky Robinson]

You got punched in the face.

[Justin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whoa, whoa. Well, slapped.

[Nick]

Slapped really hard.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Punched and slapped your.

[Justin]

And I. They didn't. They didn't tell me. And she wound the fuck up and it. Yeah, I heard a crack. I honestly thought she broke my jaw.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Was there words leading up to that, or did you just begin with a slap?

[Nick]

I don't think, but they all had.

[Justin]

They all had to, like, fake break up with me.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Yeah.

[Nick]

How did you get the call to do that?

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah, my friend was like, A friend of the producers.

[Nick]

And he was.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Was like, what are you doing? And I was like, nothing.

[Nick]

Nothing.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

You know, like, living in West Hollywood. And I was like, yeah, I'm right down the street. And so we did it. And I just remember, like, I had. I had been on a couple TV shows since. I mean, it was on Wild N Out. Like, you know, nothing. My parents were very proud. They were like, really? You're gonna be a battle rapper.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Love that.

[Nick]

Honestly, that was my show.

[Mary]

Oh, really?

[Nick]

That was my show.

[Justin]

That's out.

[Nick]

Alabama.

[Leah]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Love me some Wild N Out, which watched all the clips on YouTube because I didn't have money for a cable or whatever it was on.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah, yeah. Matt Rife and I were like. We were on in the same season, and. And then. But that small thing, I was on an episode of that, it was like 10 seconds long, and everyone from home was like, you've made it. This is seriously it. Like, you're fucking famous.

[Nick]

People are posting pictures of you and them in, like, high school and being like, we were.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

We were besties.

[Nick]

I knew her.

[Mary]

Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

And the girl I was living with at the time was trying to get on the Bachelor, so it was huge for her.

[Nick]

A dream of mine would have been to be a Wild Knot girl. Just one of the ones who was like, same bear.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

I was like, you guys are just.

[Leah]

Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

So hot.

[Justin]

Like, you wanted to be a groupie.

[Nick]

No, no. They had, like, their own, like, it was kind of like ring girls, you know, it was like their own version of that. I don't. I wouldn't call them a groupie.

[Leah]

They were.

[Nick]

They was a job.

[Crystal Minkoff]

They were employees, so it was sag. Thank you.

[Justin]

Did you stay for the whole date? Did you.

[Unknown Female Host]

You watch.

[Justin]

After you. After you performed.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

I remember at first being like, he's tall. I didn't know you were, like, nine feet tall.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

And, you know, there's a real celeb factor to that. You know, I.

[Becky Robinson]

Is.

[Nick]

Was. Is it still your bio? His bio, for a long time on Instagram, was taller in person. Yeah.

[Justin]

Because that would be the first thing people would say to me.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Very creative.

[Justin]

And then, because I always, like, when someone says that, I was like, oh, so you thought I was uglier?

[Nick]

And now they're like, that's a nice.

[Justin]

Way of people saying, you're better looking than I thought it.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Wow. You are taller in person.

[Justin]

Like, I wasn't a fan.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

What does that mean? If a lot of people say to me, you're shorter in person?

[Justin]

I think it's I think it's different with women.

[Becky Robinson]

Totally, totally.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

No, yeah, yeah. You align that with being hotter.

[Justin]

So I have a couple questions for men. For men, yeah.

[Nick]

So you were a lesbian for a while. Do you want to talk about that?

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Also happened during the pandemic.

[Nick]

Anymore?

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

No.

[Nick]

Well, never know.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

No, it's very, like, opposite.

[Leah]

Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

I don't know. We had so much time through a pandemic. I was like, why not?

[Nick]

Right? Like, might as well try out everything. Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

I've got all the time to listen to this. This woman's stories. And I don't know, it was. I never. I mean, I did a lot of sports growing up, but I was never like. I'm for sure by.

[Justin]

You know.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

And then I just, like, got a crush on this, like, girl. We were, like, at a bachelorette together and I was like, everyone's so loud at bachelorettes. And she was, like, kind of quiet.

[Nick]

And I was like, she's mysterious. Yeah, see, that's mysterious.

[Becky Robinson]

Mysterious.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

The mystery.

[Justin]

The mystery.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah. It never ends well.

[Mary]

It starts with a look, right, Mary?

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah.

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Turns out she was just fucking quiet.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah.

[Becky Robinson]

There was, like, nothing there.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

She just didn't speak often. But it was.

[Leah]

Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

So we dated for three years. We lived together and. I know. Yeah, yeah. That happened way too fast, as they say.

[Becky Robinson]

What was the timeline of the living together?

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Pretty quick. Yeah.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Justin]

Her idea or yours?

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Hers.

[Justin]

Because she was like, you got recruited?

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah. And I was petrified.

[Justin]

She's like, this is what we do.

[Becky Robinson]

The sad card and the gay card.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Becky Robinson]

Yes.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah. But I was, like, kind of on tour at that point. Non stop also. So I was gone a lot. But then going home, I'd be like, I would, like, wait at the airport a bit longer because I was like, I don't want to go home.

[Nick]

Oh, you know about that life. What's that like being just staying at the gym because you just, like, didn't want to go home.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Justin]

There I've been in relationships where I was about to walk in the door and I was just like, yeah, here we go.

[Nick]

Here we go.

[Mary]

I like to think that you got to the door and you're like, I forgot the groceries.

[Justin]

It's not you. You hang out at the gym. Then you sit in the car in the driveway for a little bit.

[Nick]

That's so sad.

[Justin]

And you stop at the door, you.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Eat in the car.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Mary]

No, Brace yourself.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

We just were polar opposites. And there's so many people that are.

[Nick]

Like, that's what makes it weird.

[Becky Robinson]

Perfect.

[Leah]

Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

And I Was like in some cases, yeah. But like, I don't know. Not for maybe just like also being two women. I don't know. She was just very happy little stuff. Not for. She's so healthy, she's like vegan. And I was like, I'm a Taco Bell gal, you know. And so it's just like, like what do you want me to make for dinner? Fucking bark chips?

[Justin]

Your diets have to be fairly similar.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Justin]

The content you like your day to day entertainment needs to be fairly similar. You have to. You can't negotiate TV shows and dinner every day.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah. The food just became such a big thing that I like, I immediately I was like, I'm the fat dad. Like I'm the fat father in the relationship. Cuz my dad used to like eat McDonald's before dinner and shove it under his car seat.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

He'd be like, dad, can I clean your car? And then we find it and we'd be like. I'd be like, now I'm Steve O.

[Justin]

I did that in elementary school. I used to like hide sandwiches. I didn't like, I did that too.

[Unknown Female Host]

When I was weird.

[Justin]

And then one time and like a garbage bag and I hid it under my bed and. And then like it was like, got real gross.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Oh yeah.

[Mary]

I did that too as a kid and I got caught. It was her rice a Roni.

[Nick]

I would stuff it in rice Aoni.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

A bologna sandwich. No. Fuck right off.

[Nick]

I actually just saw someone on TikTok. I guess their like teenage daughter wouldn't clean her room so they made like homemade rice poop which just looked to be like black rice. Oh my God. And like sprinkled it around in their room. And then like she's like filming her and she's like, oh God. My, my God. What is that over there? It's a rat poop. And the girl's like.

[Crystal Minkoff]

He'S like, well.

[Nick]

You do clean your room, so. Yeah, you've got rats.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Not only rats, also the biggest difference.

[Justin]

Between dating a man and a dating a woman.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

The. The mind, like the intuition, the smarts, the, the caring.

[Justin]

Did you get away? Did you get away with more Dating a man?

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yo, everything. Yeah, that was the reason I was like, I need like a simpleton. Like I need a guy named Spencer that's just gonna sit there. I was literally like, I want someone to treat me poorly.

[Mary]

Someone who doesn't want to ask about how I'm feeling today. Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

And she would look at me and she'd be like, your energy's off. And I'd be like, I can't do this. You know?

[Nick]

No, it's truly.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

But, like, also such a good person.

[Becky Robinson]

Right.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

But that was hard, too, because I was like, now I have to be extra bad.

[Mary]

Right?

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Because I can't live up to that.

[Nick]

So.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

So I just missed. And, like, I don't know. And you become such like, friends that it was, like, sexual, you know?

[Justin]

I respect you too much.

[Nick]

Yeah, yeah.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Nick]

This feels like a working relationship, you know? Like, it feels wrong.

[Mary]

Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

And there was so much hard. Like, we both. We both got Teslas. And I was like, between the Teslas and the vibrators, all I'm doing is plugging shit in.

[Justin]

I'm exhausted.

[Nick]

Exhausted. And it's like, I. You remember to plug in the vibrator, but not your Tesla. And now you're pissed because you can't drive anywhere stuck in the house.

[Mary]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Nick]

I actually was thinking about that this morning. I was. Because Nick and I share a car.

[Mary]

And not where I thought this was going. Nick and I share a car.

[Nick]

We share a car. And I was running late this morning to my doctor's appointment, had no gas.

[Leah]

And I was thinking.

[Nick]

Thinking, like, the fact that he did not.

[Justin]

I got a text my. The car has no gas. I ignored it.

[Nick]

No, he didn't ignore. And you know. And you know how I sent that text? Siri, send a text to hubby heart hand heart emoji. I have no gas.

[Justin]

I don't see a hubby in your context.

[Unknown Female Host]

Oh.

[Nick]

There'S a hubby in your contact.

[Mary]

Siri roasting you right now.

[Nick]

Sorry. Siri literally, really just roasted you.

[Leah]

That's crazy.

[Justin]

You're like, well, I'm a lonely.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

I'm surprised mine didn't go.

[Nick]

Yeah, no, but I was thinking, like, if we had a Tesla, we would never remember to plug that in.

[Justin]

Oh, yeah.

[Nick]

Like, we would constantly be like, it's dead. Oh, my God.

[Mary]

There's no. Yeah, we can't.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

We can't go dead.

[Unknown Female Host]

We're stuck.

[Mary]

It's looking like an Uber Block XL day.

[Becky Robinson]

The amount of times Nick just, like, Moses into, like, next to my desk, and he's like, hey, my phone's at 2%. I need to be able to get home.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Can I plug my phone in?

[Becky Robinson]

Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Could never.

[Nick]

Dating a man do you have.

[Justin]

Plugging in my phone is a chore. Like, it's up there with drinking water.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah.

[Mary]

Yeah, drinking water.

[Nick]

What's crazy is Nick doesn't plug his phone in at night.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

That's.

[Unknown Female Host]

I don't do that.

[Becky Robinson]

Either.

[Nick]

Isn't that crazy?

[Justin]

It is a. It's hard work. There are some small things that make no sense that in my brain, I'm like, I just. I'm gonna procrastinate this shit.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Is that because you, like, you have to have it right next to you when you sleep or just because you're like.

[Justin]

There's a part of me that also likes to. You know, it's like, you know how. Like there's a Seinfeld episode about this, like the gas gauge. Like, how far can you go on empty? There's a little bit of that. And I think in a lot of men.

[Unknown Female Host]

Damn.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah, yeah.

[Justin]

And I think there's some psycho. Some deep rooted psychology.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

I think the opposite is deep rooted in us. Because whether we're with a man or not, we know that we're gonna have to, you know, do that for you as well.

[Mary]

Exactly.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

So we're like, we better have a place.

[Nick]

No, I have it in place. A charger right by. On his nightstand.

[Justin]

Yeah, no, it's. I would say once a week I plug in in at night and there's a charger right next.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

That's the bliss of the new phone, though. You know, you don't have to charge it for a couple days.

[Nick]

Really?

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

I feel like if I don't plug my phone in at night, like, I'll miss an alarm and then something serious happens and.

[Nick]

Yeah, yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Like one time of that and you're.

[Nick]

Like, well, I'm the one who sets the alarms every night. And I'm also the one who has like the banana on our baby.

[Justin]

We wake up, we have a daughter. So like. Yeah, not like a get up alarm, like house alarm.

[Mary]

Yeah, yeah.

[Nick]

False alarms. I'm in charge of setting it. And I have the worst intruder syndrome. So I am like on that, like nobody's business. And we put like the. We have sliding doors. We put like the poles up.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah, that's good.

[Nick]

We're like really in it.

[Leah]

Do that.

[Nick]

Where was where? What were we talking about? Why did I get into that?

[Justin]

Plugging in phones.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Just men and women in the.

[Nick]

Yeah, you should probably get him one.

[Mary]

Of those like mag safe ones where you just like plop it down.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

I think he probably.

[Justin]

I'd find a way not to use it.

[Nick]

He would set it beside it just like he does the hamper. The clothes.

[Justin]

There's a hamper and I don't put it in the hamper.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Yeah, yeah. That was the other thing. I. I feel like whether or not you. How similar you are, like every relationship Has a lazy piece of. And like an obsessive compulsive clean animal, you know?

[Nick]

Right.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Like that just. You kind of fall into those. And in my, like, I've always been the clean one. Except when I dated a woman, like I would clean the dishes and she'd.

[Nick]

Be back scraping them.

[Leah]

Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

And I'd be like, okay, I'm filth.

[Mary]

Yeah, let me lean into it.

[Crystal Minkoff]

Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

And then you lean into it and you're like, I guess I don't have to clean anything up. So why. You know, so I kind of get it.

[Nick]

Anything you're most nervous about releasing this standup? No, nothing.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

I mean, I put so much money into. Yeah, just like I jokingly was like to my dog this morning, I was like, better be prepared to not have wet food for a while.

[Nick]

That'll be kibble only.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

It was a. Yeah, it was a.

[Justin]

Big sacrifices will be made and it.

[Nick]

Will be with you. Starting with you.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

Starting with you.

[Leah]

Sweet pee.

[Nick]

You little mutton.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

You little designer goldendoodle fuck. Not gonna get groomed for maybe two months. You wanna be romantic?

[Crystal Minkoff]

Okay.

[Justin]

I think you're gonna be okay. You got Chris Pratt, your mate, truly reaching out.

[Crystal Minkoff]

I hope so.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

I'm just, I hope people like was so fun making it. And I do kind of feel like the more you trust your gut and you're like, I believe in this. And like even I took a risk on like the lighting people came from the music industry. They like worked with Billie Eilish. And my female producers were like, this isn't normal for a standup special. And I was like, that's what I want. I want it to be different. I want it to look like. Cause the show is a big party. And then after they were like, that was the move. This is sick. And so, yeah, I hope people just like it and I hope. I don't know.

[Justin]

Yeah, I think it's gonna be great. And I think the best comedy is one obviously that is relatable for the masses and the entitlement housewife, I think, you know, is. Is that just relatable to everyone? And obviously women but men. And specifically because like, you know, also in men. Because like we are, I think pandemic, yeah. Till now has created a bunch of like, we become a we. Everyone's a narcissist. But like, you know, it's like, so are we. And you know, we all become these entitled kind of self serving pieces of shit. And like, I think you, you know, your character is a very funny way of looking in the mirror about Kind of like how ridiculous we all are at times. And I think that's.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah.

[Justin]

And it, it's a. It's a. It's a. It's a fun. You. You offer a fun way to laugh at ourselves. And I think that's the best kind of comedy.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

I try. I try, you know? Yeah, it's funny because a lot of the men come to the show and they're like, I'm Scott.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

And they like lean into it too. They're like, yeah, I'm a piece of shit.

[Justin]

Well, if they don't know already, where can people enjoy your comedies? But special that comes out this Friday.

[Entitled Housewife (Becky Robinson)]

So it's gonna be@ entitled.beckyrobinsonthegreat.com and you just stream it. And I don't know when this comes out, but if you pre order it or if you get it once it's out. We shot a documentary.

Yeah, we shot a documentary leading up to shooting it just in like all the anxiety and stuff that comes. There's like a tour date. We all got norovirus. It was like running off stage, changing to the character and like throwing up and, and just going back out on stage and like pussy popping.
