Amanda
I got a tattoo on Friday is your first. This is my first. I got this little shrimp.
Mary
You got a shrimp?
Amanda
I got a shrimp.
Justin
Let me just say Justin was with me. This girl's impulsive. She walked by the tattoo shop on her way to lunch and she goes, I'm gonna get a tattoo today.
Nick
I love that.
Justin
And I was like, okay, I'll go with you. And then I walked in and I said, you have other tattoos, right?
Nick
And she's like, no, my first tattoo is this little bee right here.
Amanda
Nice.
Justin
Did you go into the shop knowing what you were getting or did you just pick around?
Nick
I knew I wanted to be. And then I went to a fancy tattoo artist who made it really Little.
Amanda
Yeah, I. I just. It was a flash, and then I'm. It made me. My brother worked at a bait shop when I was growing up, and we used to go fishing, like, all the time. And I just really resonate with the little shrimp.
Nick
What does it represent for you, Mary?
Amanda
It feels like home, and also, like, it's a little silly, but not like, it's a little stupid, a little silly, but also, like, kind of earnest for me, which is funny, and I like it.
Nick
And it's going to be getting of, like, a sleeve.
Amanda
It's the beginning of something, because I love it. Felt awesome. And I do feel cooler and hotter now that I have it and tougher. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nick
How did. How did. Did it hurt you?
Amanda
No.
Nick
Yeah.
Justin
They don't hurt.
Nick
Depends on where you get it. This the eagle I have on my ribs.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah, that was painful.
Amanda
The tattoo guy made the best joke I've ever heard, though, in which he was like, I've never tattooed a shrimp before. And then the other guy there, who does the piercings, goes, no, normally it's. And I laughed for, like, five minutes.
Justin
You do look like a shrimp.
Amanda
Thank you. It's really sweet.
Nick
Well, up next, Greta Titleman joins us. She recently did her standup on Seth Meyers. She's also on Lute and many more. She's friends with all your favorite comedians, and her star is rising. And she's up next.
Greta Teitelman
I feel like when you guys asked me what I watch, I was like. I felt so bad. I was like, they're gonna give him such a freak, because I don't watch, like, any reality television.
Nick
That's okay.
Greta Teitelman
I know. Like, I feel I, like, don't watch anything. Anything. It's not good.
Nick
It looks like you watch a lot.
Sierra
A lot of scripted.
Greta Teitelman
I watch a lot of scripted.
Amanda
Yeah.
Sierra
Everybody has their thing.
Greta Teitelman
I know.
Justin
Yeah.
Sierra
I'm like. I'm an escapist, so I'm like, okay, show me somebody else's life.
Greta Teitelman
And I feel like I watch reality TV by proxy because I hang out with, like, 99% gay men.
Sierra
There you go.
Greta Teitelman
I feel like I get it. You know what I mean? Like, I understand.
Nick
So we could get the. What's going on in reality TV secondhand through.
Greta Teitelman
Totally. I know a lot of. Yeah, I can give it to you.
Nick
Okay.
Greta Teitelman
People are really excited about this new Miami of house housewives. I know that much.
Mary
The Palm Beach.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah.
Mary
The Members Only Palm Beach.
Greta Teitelman
Sure. Whatever. See, I know you're in it. Come on.
Sierra
When your friends tell you about reality tv, though, do you Listen to it as, like, a friend hearing somebody's beef with somebody else, or, like, are you asking questions?
Greta Teitelman
I'm asking no questions.
Sierra
No questions. You're just like, all right, here's the sweet story.
Mary
Yeah, I don't want to know anymore.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah. I'm just like, okay.
Justin
Yeah.
Amanda
It's like when somebody's talking to you about friends they had from college that you weren't friends with, and you're like, totally. Yeah, keep going with this. I love it.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah. I know a lot about Sonja Morgan's life. That's, like, one person that I know quite a bit about. And Bethenny Frankel.
Sierra
Okay, so you are a New York fan, I guess.
Nick
Can I talk to you about your obsession with jazz? Is it still. Are you still obsessed with jazz, or was that just a jazz. I've really. I'm really into my jazz era now.
Greta Teitelman
Oh, you are? What are you listening to?
Nick
Background.
Mary
Yeah.
Greta Teitelman
What does that sound? Okay, so wait, what do you mean? I don't like. You go on YouTube and you watch one of those weird, like, AI videos. It's like a fireplace at a lake.
Mary
And you're listening to, like, yeah, Coffee house jazz.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah, coffee house jazz.
Nick
No, it's. It's background. It's the background jazz playlist on Spotify.
Greta Teitelman
Gorgeous.
Nick
And now in the car. Jazz.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah, we love jazz.
Nick
It calms me.
Greta Teitelman
It's wonderful. I love jazz. I listen to. I'm in a big. I'm stepping back into a really big John Coltrane era right now, personally.
Mary
Talk about your love for him.
Amanda
Yeah. Nick, what's your favorite John Coltrane song?
Nick
I don't know.
Amanda
You know your favorite piece of John Coltrane?
Nick
Like, Greta doesn't know reality. I know. Like, I just, like. That sounds nice.
Greta Teitelman
You like how I appreciate reality television by proxy in the background. You appreciate jazz in the background as well?
Nick
My grandmother, who is in her 90s and has had a wonderful life and still with us, but her memory is unfortunately not as sharp as it used to be. She visited us at the lake, and, you know, sadly, she just doesn't remember a lot of specific things. And I was playing a jazz playlist, and out of nowhere, she's like, I know the name of this song. And in the artist, and she crushed it, and it was a really cool moment. Anyways.
Greta Teitelman
I mean, they say, like, that, like, recall is very real. Like, my grandfather had full dementia and was 98 years old, but could still sing, like, songs.
Nick
Yeah, it's really incredible. Are you any group chats that are causing any ruckuses these days. Like the mom chats going on?
Greta Teitelman
No, like, okay, here's something about me. I don't want drama. I am very Mary J. Blige. No more drama. I just like, I can't. It stresses me the fuck out. I've lived too long an anxiety riddled individual to be involved in drama. So just like I have, I create drama in my mind. I don't need it actually manifesting on my phone.
Nick
What is your trick of exercising your anxiety demons?
Greta Teitelman
Well, I literally exercise. That's like, that's number one. I have to like forcefully move my body. That's number one.
Nick
What's your go to exercise?
Greta Teitelman
Well, I'm addicted to my trainer. I love my trainer. But then I gotta. I'm not gonna lie to you guys. I do Barry's boot camp.
Sierra
I do.
Amanda
I do.
Mary
You're brave.
Greta Teitelman
I do Barry's. I'm obsessed. I'm addicted. I love my king. Shout out to Kyle K. He's the best. Go to the Barry's boot camp. Get that fucking burn on. Yeah, I have to have to release the demons inside. But the mom chat stuff did bring me joy.
Amanda
It's a good feud.
Nick
Cause it like, wasn't you.
Greta Teitelman
Because it's not me. And I'm also like, I love like nasty valley moms. Like, that is fun to me. I'm like, I love the concept of Mandy Moore and Hilary Duff bullying Ashley Tisdale because it's also like, those are my girls. Allegedly, those are my girls. You know what I mean? So it's like, I love, like, we.
Mary
All grew up together.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah, we all grew up together. Those are my girls from high school. Like, I know those chicas, you know, I mean, not actually, but, you know, spiritually. And I feel like I'm locked in on that.
Mary
What was your immediate gut reaction to Hillary's husband posting the Photoshop the cut article where he called Ashley Tisdale a insufferable. Insufferable.
Nick
Was it that? I think it was one of those words.
Greta Teitelman
This just solidifies my opinion that straight men are the cattiest individuals on Planet Ear. That I believe that, like, the cattiest people that we live with are straight CIS men.
Nick
We're just looking for an opportunity.
Greta Teitelman
I know. And you guys, like, love attention and you guys love to stir the pot and you love to be like, I'm just sticking up for my wife. Meanwhile, your wife is probably like, you're being psychotic. I don't want you to post that. And you're like, no, I'm going to. Because it's fucked up. What they did to you is fucked up.
Nick
Yeah.
Greta Teitelman
And then you say some crazy stuff.
Nick
I have to defend your honor.
Greta Teitelman
I have to defend you. I'll look like a huge loser if I don't defend your hon by posting this crazy thing. And meanwhile you're like, it's going to make it so much worse for me.
Nick
And then when I get called out, I'll just subtly suggest that you made me do it.
Amanda
Yeah.
Greta Teitelman
But then the interesting thing. Exactly. And the interesting thing about their dynamic is Hilary Duff is also entering a new music era. And that's an interesting situation there.
Nick
What if we're all being played? What if, like, behind the scenes, like Ashley Tisdale, Hilary Duff got together knowing that there's new music coming out?
Mary
I mean, you think Ashley was like, let me help you boost your album.
Greta Teitelman
I mean, honestly, I think that that's beautiful. And that is sisterhood. And I'm going to choose to believe that that's actually what's happening. They like, in their mom group, they were like, wait, we need to uplift.
Amanda
Yeah.
Greta Teitelman
We need to start a feud to make people pay attention to the music.
Mary
And have your husband call me insufferable.
Greta Teitelman
Exactly correct. That's what I think is happening.
Amanda
He said, when you're the most self obsessed, tone deaf person on earth, other moms tend to shift focus to their toddlers. Was what his fake cut article said.
Nick
He pulled no punches.
Amanda
Pulled no punches.
Greta Teitelman
If I were Ashley Tisdale, I would be like, what?
Mary
You're married?
Greta Teitelman
Yeah.
Mary
Would you want your husband jumping in? No, no, I'm not married.
Sierra
Insane. Because I'm like Daryl Sbarro. Also Meghan Trainor's husband also came out and said something about it too. I don't remember what he said, but I just know that I thought it was a weird headline where I was like, why are all of these husbands speaking out about a mom group they weren't a part of?
Amanda
It's giving dad talk.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah. I don't know. It's very strange. I just think people. I think people are bored.
Mary
They are very bored.
Greta Teitelman
And I think that sometimes, like, Los Angeles can be a really isolating, boring place and it can really warp your mind and it can make you think that is important. That's not. Because you're just like in your compound in Topanga and you're like, what is happening?
Sierra
And then you're just like, not my world.
Greta Teitelman
And then you're just like firing off and then you actually need to go outside and touch grass.
Amanda
Well, it Seems like. So Ashley Tisbill's husband said, I don't really know what's going on, I hope.
Sierra
And that's how he should respond.
Amanda
She's okay, though.
Greta Teitelman
See, that's an honest situation.
Sierra
He's like, I have no idea.
Amanda
Oh, wait, no, no, no. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I misquoted. It was Meghan Trainor's husband said, I don't really know what's going on. I hope Ashley Disdells okay.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah, I do, too. I mean, peace and love to. Wasn't her name Sharpay?
Amanda
Yeah.
Greta Teitelman
And also she killed it on the red carpet in the early 2000s.
Amanda
She did the jeans under the skirt.
Greta Teitelman
She was a fearless style icon. Fearless. Fearless. Fearless.
Mary
Well, speaking of red carpets and fearlessness, what did you think of the Golden Globes?
Greta Teitelman
Okay. I actually thought. Because I knew we were discussing that today, and I actually was, like, gathering my thoughts and, you know, I actually really believe that it was, like, kind of one of the best award shows I've seen in a long time. I thought Nikki killed it. I thought she did such a fab job. She was so funny. She's just the best. And she looked great. And then I thought I was laughing, laughing, laughing at the music they were playing for school when they were getting their awards. I was like, this is so funny.
Amanda
It felt like a middle school dance. But Stellan Skarsgrd was accepting an award. It was great.
Greta Teitelman
They were playing that Bruno Mars song when. What's his. When that. When Stephen Graham won for Adolescence.
Sierra
Oh, yeah.
Greta Teitelman
I was just like, I love that they're playing like 24 karat magic in me. And I was just like, this is great.
Mary
They're like, we can't play any music from this year.
Greta Teitelman
No, I loved it. I was like, play music. Like, it felt like I was at some event in 2006.
Nick
That was a nice moment when he won that award, though. I mean, he's been a great actor for so many years. You've never really seen him be recognized. Recognized for it. And it. It was really cool. I do.
Mary
Like, I feel like Adolescence came out maybe five years ago and they are still winning awards. But maybe it was just this past year it came out. I know it's always been talking about it.
Greta Teitelman
It's the timing, like, when something comes out in the beginning of the Being able to qualify for the award, it does feel like we've lived with it for, like, I'm like, I feel like they've already won. I know.
Nick
It's award. It's always like, it's a. Yeah. It seems like a show or a movie from, like, something that seems forever ago. Or a show or a movie that, like, just came out and no one's seen it.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah. It's like you really need to find that sweet spot with releasing things. It's like how I felt Shogun won everything for like, three years. And I was like, oh, I guess Shogun is just winning for the next 10 years. And it should, because it was so good.
Nick
I really appreciated Nikki's Leo joke.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah. Yeah.
Nick
It was the follow up joke because, like, the low hanging fruit of, like, making fun of the age of the women he dates.
Justin
Yeah.
Nick
And I was like, okay, roll your eyes. And then she's like, but we know nothing else about you. And I was like, that is so.
Amanda
It was really good.
Greta Teitelman
So true.
Mary
And I was thinking Tiger Beat interview from, like 90s.
Greta Teitelman
The pasta, pasta, pasta. I know. It is amazing how little we kind of know about him.
Nick
I know. It was like, I was. I kind of admired him for it. And Leo, if you want someone to make fun of you on things outside of the women you date, just come on the show. We'll give you plenty of opportunities.
Mary
I did watch his actors on Actors with Jennifer Lawrence, and she really tried to get him to. I felt like it was the most, like, interview scene. She is. She's a great interviewer, but it was like the most, like, Leo interview we've seen where he wasn't, you know, it was long. He talked about other things, but it was, It's. He's a tough cookie to crack.
Greta Teitelman
I watched that. The actors on Actors too. And, like, because I, obviously I'm obsessed with Leonardo DiCaprio. I have been forever. We all are. And I am always just. I'm like, when are we gonna get, like, something? But then I also remember he's a child actor. And, like, he is so in this business. And, like, this is his whole life and mind.
Mary
Like, why give us something now?
Greta Teitelman
And also he's not gonna, like, tell us about, like, partying with the pussy posse. You know what I mean? Like, that's what I want. And he's not gonna give that to us.
Mary
He's just gonna continue wearing that black baseball cap out in public and hiding his face on the yacht and a.
Greta Teitelman
Mask and vaping and vaping. The king loves to vape.
Nick
No one really picked up on that. Little Nikki slipped that in about the vaping. And yeah, she had a lot of Easter eggs in her jokes that the girls.
Amanda
I get it. Get It.
Greta Teitelman
Did you guys see Sean Penn smoking a cigarette? Which I was like, go completely off.
Sierra
That's what I said. I think it's badass. Bring it back.
Greta Teitelman
He smokes cigarettes everywhere. I'm just like, someone has to be cool and sorry that cigarettes are still cool when Sean Penn smokes them.
Amanda
I think some people can smoke inside. If you're Sean Penn, you can smoke inside.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah. I agree 100%.
Nick
Do you think anyone had the guts to go up to him and go, excuse me, Mr. Penn?
Greta Teitelman
No.
Sierra
@ this event, at this stage, Absolutely.
Amanda
Not. Imagine you're a PA making, like $15 an hour, and they're like, hey, can you go and tell Sean Penn that he has to stop.
Greta Teitelman
Smoking? I would be like.
Amanda
No. No. I would say.
Greta Teitelman
No. Like, I'm not going to be that person for you. I'm sorry. You can go do.
Amanda
That. You can go do that. I had to buy. I had to buy black pants from Goodwill. But if you want to go and tell Sean Penn to stop smoking, you.
Nick
Can. Mary said that some people are feeling a little protective of.
Amanda
Timmy. I mean, I think maybe Club Chalamet, maybe some of the other Timmy.
Greta Teitelman
Subscrib. Club Chalamet at the Palm Spring. Did you see.
Justin
That?
Greta Teitelman
Yes. When Club Chalamet got to kind of see what is. What is she.
Mary
Called? Critics Choice.
Sierra
Award. Was that.
Greta Teitelman
It? That was that. It was at Palm Springs, the film.
Amanda
Festival.
Mary
Oh.
Greta Teitelman
Oh. And you know, Club Chalamet has hated Kylie.
Amanda
Jenner. Yeah. Club Charlamagne does not. Does not fuck with Kylie.
Greta Teitelman
Jenner. Does not like Kylie Jenner. What is. What is. What does she call.
Amanda
Her? Oh, oh.
Greta Teitelman
Oh. Something really.
Mary
Funny. I feel like she was just at the last award show that went. And Timothy was like, my foundation, my partner of three years. Thank you so much. And, like, she.
Greta Teitelman
Was. That was Critics Choice. No, she was at the one where he won. He did win an award at Palm.
Justin
Springs.
Greta Teitelman
Okay. And that's where they. She was there, saw each.
Sierra
Other.
Nick
Yeah. It's.
Greta Teitelman
Great.
Mary
Yeah. How did she get.
Greta Teitelman
Invited? She's everywhere she is. Everywhere she.
Nick
Is. Maybe she didn't get invited. Maybe she just showed.
Justin
Up.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah. Maybe she just crashed a Club Chalamet.
Nick
Crashed. When Tim called Kylie, his partner Natalie pointed out that, like, it's not just PC but also just like. It's just a. It's just a better way to describe your girlfriend. It seems more.
Mary
Growing. I can't imagine him giving his Golden Globe speech and being like. And thank you to my.
Sierra
Girlfriend. I kind of feel like there's also Like a certain age that you kind of hit and when you've been with somebody for a while, you're like, you're not my like boyfriend. Like, you're my partner. The person I'm choosing to spend now and hopefully the rest of my life.
Greta Teitelman
With. I kind of am like, say her name. I'm kind of like, say her name, my love. We know who you're talking about. Say, I love you, Kylie. Say it with your chest, King. Let's hear.
Nick
It. Why doesn't he say her name? She's sitting right.
Greta Teitelman
There. Because I think the relationship is like so it's like the biggest. It's like the two biggest celebrities of that like younger generation dating. And I'm a part of that younger generation. Okay. But it's. I don't know. I don't know.
Amanda
Why. I think he knows Club would get upset if he said.
Greta Teitelman
Kylie. I think that would be the.
Amanda
Final like stick in her heart that he's not.
Greta Teitelman
Saying. He's saying my partner to protect Club.
Amanda
Chalamet. Protect club. Because it could total sense technically be at this point Club Chalamet is Timothy's partner. Like regardless of she's parasocial so hard that.
Mary
Like. Oh, she's definitely like. He's thanking.
Greta Teitelman
Me. Yeah, for.
Mary
Sure. She's not saying Kylie's name.
Greta Teitelman
Because. Because it's me and my partner for our.
Amanda
Foundation.
Greta Teitelman
Club. Yeah, Club.
Nick
Chalamet. I didn't know they've been dating for that.
Mary
Long. Yeah, that's what happens when you keep your business to.
Sierra
Yourself. I was gonna say, I was like, I feel like we don't ever see any photos of them. Just like on vacation or anything. Anything that they don't want us to see, we don't see it. Which I.
Mary
Like. It's just.
Sierra
Normal.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah. Yeah, totally.
Sierra
Normal. Building a foundation. It's.
Mary
Normal. Building their foundation, you.
Sierra
Know. Do you think they'll have.
Amanda
Children? Club and Timothy? Oh, sorry.
Greta Teitelman
Kylie. I have no idea. I mean that would be.
Mary
Cute. It's kind of every footage I saw of them talking at the Golden Globes it was Kylie Jenner saying I love.
Amanda
You.
Mary
Yeah. That's the only conversations that I.
Greta Teitelman
Caught wind of when I like being really toxic. I'll go on the Daily Mail and I, I used to be addicted to the Daily Mail and then I like had to over Covid. I was like, this has to stop. Shit got really dark sided and crazy. I mean it's already very dark sided over there. It's like Satan's.
Nick
Platform. Yeah. They're not looking for Anything under a.
Greta Teitelman
Drop. It's all awful. And, like, during COVID it got so Rancho Cucamonga crazy over.
Nick
There. During COVID I went running, as people did, and I didn't have a shirt on, and the paparazzi got me. And then the Daily Mail had a headline, nick Viall runs nearly naked. Like, as if I lost my mind and I was just streaking the.
Greta Teitelman
Streets.
Nick
Yeah. Thanks to the Daily.
Greta Teitelman
Mail. But that's kind of a fab.
Amanda
Headline. Yeah, Nearly naked is a good.
Greta Teitelman
Alliteration. That's kind of fun. Flirty and.
Nick
Fun. It's maybe the most kindest headline I've gotten from that Daily Mail.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah. And you're showing off your gorge.
Mary
Bod. They could have definitely been a lot.
Greta Teitelman
Meaner. I was saying the other day, I saw one, one like, headline that was like, lip reader says Timmy and Kylie got into a crazy fight as she mouths, I hate you, or like, you hate me. And I'm like.
Mary
What? Yes, of course. No, also, you hate me is a form of.
Greta Teitelman
Endearment. What do you.
Sierra
Mean? I.
Mary
Know. I say that to Nick all the.
Greta Teitelman
Time. Yeah. When you say you hate me, you hate me. Yeah, yeah.
Sierra
Yeah. That means she asked for a.
Greta Teitelman
Piece of his cheese, and he was.
Amanda
Like, I was gonna eat.
Mary
It. And she's like, hate me.

Day. Of all the movies or TV shows that were recognized of the Golden Globes, did you have a favorite one that you actually enjoyed or subsequently did you have one where you're like, I don't really get this.
Greta Teitelman
Show? Okay, see now you're in my wheelhouse because I of course have watched every single thing that's been nominated for. I'm like one of those people when something is nominated for like an Oscar. I need to watch all of the movies or I need to watch all of the things. Yeah, I, I love the.
Nick
Business. What you're saying, did you get one battle after.
Greta Teitelman

Greta Teitelman

Mary
Laptop? On his.
Nick
Phone? I have a little.
Greta Teitelman
Projector. Okay. And you fell.
Nick
Asleep. I just stopped.
Greta Teitelman
It.
Nick
Why? I guess I have bad taste. I.
Greta Teitelman
Don'T. Okay, hold on. You need to walk me through where, like, at what point in the movie you stopped it and why and what was going on with you that day? Were you, what was happening? Where were you emotionally when you.
Mary
Went to watch this film and where was.
Nick
I? You weren't feeling well. Okay, I was watching it by myself. It was right after the baby was born in the movie that I was like, I don't know really. But then my simlies watch it and you know, my dad and I tend to agree on films that we enjoy and he didn't really wasn't into it. So maybe I came in with a biased point of view. You. Maybe I didn't give it its fair shot. What did you love about it? Maybe I should give it another.
Greta Teitelman
Shot. Oh, I loved everything about it. I. But I'm such a Paul Thomas Anderson. Like the, the, like, the like cinema boy in me is like fapping to Paul Thomas Anderson all the time. You know, I'm like, I would love to be in any of his movies, like free. I would, I would suck his.
Mary
Toes. All.
Greta Teitelman
10. All 10. I would put them all in my mouth. And I also love that he's married to Maya Rudolph. I obviously love Maya Rudolph. Idolize Maya Rudolph. I was honored to be in Loot. But what did I love about one battle after another? Literally everything. I loved everything about that movie. To me, it was like I was sitting there and I was like, oh, this is a fucking movie. I'm like, this is cinema. But I also was like nerdy and like saw it at the Vista and 70 millimeter, you know, and like Vista Vision and 70 millimeter. And like, I'm that person that like, will do that. I mean. Yeah, I do. I do. I also just loved. I loved everyone in it. Like, I loved Benicio Del Toro. I loved Teyana Taylor. I loved. I loved Sean Penn. Are you kidding.
Sierra
Me? His arms in that.
Greta Teitelman
Movie. Gracie, like, you, you need to lock in. You need to go back and you need to lock in and you need to be like, I am watching this because I will enjoy.
Nick
It. I see. I came in with a negative attitude. That's my.
Greta Teitelman
Problem. I loved it. I also, you know, I. I think it's just cool to watch big ideas and like, things. I feel like it's so rare that we get. And I'm the first person to say this, it's so rare that we get original movies anymore. And it's just fun to see a crazy. It was like a really fun.
Nick
Ride. What's one that you didn't quite.
Greta Teitelman
Get? One that I didn't quite get.
Nick
Or just wasn't for.
Greta Teitelman
You. Avatar is one.
Nick
That. Have you seen all the.
Greta Teitelman
Avatars? Because no, they're.
Nick
Two. I've only seen the first one and I was like, I'm.
Greta Teitelman
Good. It's just three. Like, you want me to lock in for three plus hours? Like, at least the brutalist gave us a 15 minute intermission. You know what I mean? I'm like, it's so much. But at the same time I'm also like, like go completely off. Like you people are telling you you can make a 3 hour and 13 minute long movie about blue aliens. Like, do.
Nick
It.
Greta Teitelman
I. Not for.
Mary
Me. Did you see Marty.
Greta Teitelman
Supreme? I sure.
Nick
Did. That I'm excited to see. I am excited to.
Greta Teitelman
See. It was so fab. Again. My nerdy. My nerdy ass went Christmas Day, and it was so fun, and I loved it. And yeah, it's. It's all the. All the safety things I would hope.
Mary
For. I saw Gwyneth Paltrow, and she was saying that on Marty supreme, she, like, went up to Timothy and she was like, hey, like, I. I know a couple of products and things you can do to, like, help with acne scars. And he was like, so this is all.
Amanda
Makeup. Actually, I.
Mary
Don'T. This isn't real because he's, like, got the, I guess, like, really bad keloids and acne scars. And it, like, looked so real that Gwyneth was, like, microneedling will really.
Greta Teitelman
Help if you just offering her goop. Her goop?
Sierra
Mine.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah. She was so good in it. She's so. Yeah, she was so. Everyone was so good. And I'm also a huge Shark Tank fan and, you know, love seeing Crazy Mr. Wonderful in that movie. And he was so.
Nick
Good. Yeah. Apparently he's got a bit of the. A taste for acting.
Greta Teitelman
Now. I. I guess. Even though he's just acting like himself. But. Yeah, I guess. I guess.
Nick
So. Yeah. To get apart. To say, just be you. Be an asshole. Just, you know, embrace it, I.
Mary
Guess. And he went to Golden Globes, you.
Sierra
Know.
Nick
Yeah. Well, Mary put together a fun little Golden Globes game for some of the awards you did not get to.
Justin
See.
Amanda
Yeah. Yeah. You guys, I don't. Everyone here at the Vial Files, like, we're. We're always breaking news. We're always, like, getting stuff sent to us that, like, sometimes we can't share, sometimes we can't. This weekend, I was sent, like, rejected Golden Globes categories that just. They didn't make air. So I thought we would do it.
Greta Teitelman
Here. Wait, what do you.
Amanda
Mean? Like, categories? They didn't let it.
Greta Teitelman
On. Like, real categories that.
Amanda
Exist. They're totally real. That.
Nick
Exist. They're not.
Amanda
Real. What are you talking.
Greta Teitelman
About? I'm very.
Nick
Gullible.
Amanda
Same. So, all right, the first one is best wig. Okay, first up, we have the diva from Weapons. The Hunting Wives.
Greta Teitelman
All.
Mary
Yeah. Oh, yeah. That was.
Amanda
Crazy. Ashley Padilla in that one SNL sketch. And Emma Stone after Begonia when she was on the red carpet and everyone was like, did she shave her head? Is that a.
Greta Teitelman
Wig? Wow. I know. My.
Mary
Winner. Who's your.
Greta Teitelman
Winner? My opener is the hunting.
Amanda
Wise. Yeah, those.
Greta Teitelman
Wigs. Yeah.
Amanda
Yeah. And they were doing so much, and none of them fell.
Greta Teitelman
Off. Well, the story behind those wigs is also.
Mary
Crazy. Yeah. Wasn't it, like, she was supposed to have a different one and it, like, didn't get made in time or.
Greta Teitelman
Something? Like, they fully. I'm fairly certain. Don't quote me on this, but I think, like, Malin Ackerman's wig was, like, something happened where they had to, like, fully just order her a wig from Amazon. And I think it was.
Mary
Amazon.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah. I think it was just, like, a wig you could just buy, you know, like, wow. I think that they then had to get her a different wig, which is why she had that kind of.
Mary
Hairstyle when they went to politics. Yeah.
Sierra
Done.
Mary
Yeah. She got a better.
Amanda
Wig. It's crazy because I do feel like the bad wig is the magic of the show. Like, I don't know if the show would have hit for me if the wig wasn't what it.
Justin
Was.
Amanda
Totally.
Mary
Yeah. Do you think they'll do Wigs season.
Greta Teitelman
Two? You know, it kind of did become such, like, a element of this show. They're crazy wigs, but I don't know. I was on a show where we also had bad wigs the first season, and my character. It's the show Los Espookies. One of the best.
Amanda
Shows. Los.
Greta Teitelman
Espookies. Incredible. Everyone should go watch it. But my character was not supposed to have bangs. But we were in, like, a wig pickle, and the best we could do was, like, lob bangs into this wig. And then it had. We had to, like, remark on it because it was like a shift, like in Hunting Wives. And I always like that because you know that that's not.
Mary
Scripted. Did it make you want to get bangs, or were you.
Greta Teitelman
Like. No. I mean, no. It was like, the wig was honestly so bad that I was. And it was funny, but the wig was so bad. And when you're in such a bad wig, you are a little distracted. You are kind of like, I have this really crazy mop on my.
Mary
Head. It's.
Greta Teitelman
Hot. It's hot. And, like, if it doesn't fit your head, like, right, or if it's too tight, I don't.
Mary
Know.
Greta Teitelman
Itchy.
Amanda
Yeah.
Greta Teitelman
Itchy.
Amanda
Yeah. All right, well, the next. The next category. Best TV show or film. Your boyfriend's co worker told you about that you never plan on watching but have heard good things. We have one battle after another andor Slow Horses and Marty.
Mary
Supreme. You have seen.
Sierra
All.
Amanda
Yes.
Nick
Yeah. You know, I have often wondered what Slow Horses is about, because I always see.
Greta Teitelman
It.
Nick
Okay. And I hear you're a big.
Greta Teitelman
Fan. I'm the only, like, non septuagenarian that watches Slow Horses. That's a woman. Like, everyone that I know that watches Slow Horses is my dad. He's 80, and my father in law, he's 77. And they're. Yeah, King. Absolutely. I'm addicted to Gary Oldman. He can absolutely break me in.
Nick
Half. Love him in True.
Greta Teitelman
Romance. Yeah. Come on. I mean, him in.
Nick
Hottie. Pretty much.
Greta Teitelman
Anything. One of my favorite films of all time, Fifth Element. So good. Okay. What is Slow Horses about? Is that what you're. It's about a reject division of.
Sierra
MI6. Oh, that sounds.
Nick
Awesome. I feel like I'd be into.
Greta Teitelman
That. You would. And it's. And you know, it's like them solving global.
Justin
Terror.
Mary
Oh. Do you feel like their marketing team just, like, wasn't that good or something? Why do I feel like it's.
Greta Teitelman
So. It's based on a book series. And I think that as are a lot of programs on Apple tv, I don't think Apple TV necessarily does, like, the best marketing, I would say, or.
Nick
Apple. You're gonna watch it or not watch it.
Greta Teitelman
Whatever. Cause the thing about Apple is, like, guess what? It's on all of your devices, and it's like, you see it. But I feel like they only really did really strong marketing for, like, severance and, like, F1. Like, I don't know. I don't feel like they. I feel like they don't even really push morning show that hard, which is.
Nick
Crazy. No, they really don't.
Greta Teitelman
Anymore. Yeah. Oh, wait. But to answer the question, I would actually say andor. Yeah, People, like, really get for andor. And that's very boy. And, like, that would be the kind of thing where your boyfriend's friend would be like. Like, it's about. It's. It's like, actually really about politics and regime change and, like. And you're like.
Nick
Okay.
Greta Teitelman
Imperialism.
Amanda
Yeah. I really loved when they went pew.
Greta Teitelman
Pew. Yeah, I thought that.
Mary
Was.
Amanda

Greta Teitelman
The. The.
Amanda
Dash. All right, the next category is Best homoerotic subtext. First up, we have Dr. Robbie and the mouse boy from the Pit. We have Bronwyn and Whitney from the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. We have the hockey stage Sticks from heated rivalry. And we have the gay hive mind people in.
Nick
Pluribus. Hockey.
Amanda
Sticks. Hockey.
Greta Teitelman

Greta Teitelman
There. They're kissing. And I know a little bit about Bronwyn and. Is that Whitney.
Mary
Rose?
Amanda
Yes. Whitney Wild.
Greta Teitelman
Rose. So people have told me that I kind of look like her, which I think is really bizarre because I personally don't see.
Amanda
It. You have a blonde.
Greta Teitelman
Bob. You have blonde hair. I've had multiple people DM me being like, you look so much like Whitney Rose. Do a Whitney Rose, like, character video. And I'm like, I don't see it.
Amanda
But. But I do agree that they have the best home erotic.
Greta Teitelman
Subtext.

Greta Teitelman
2. 2? Yeah. Wait, what happens in.
Nick
2? And she's a.
Amanda
Teacher. 2. She's at a school, and then Lauryn Hill is a student. I feel like they're trying to save the school. I don't.
Greta Teitelman
Remember. Wait, but what happens in one.
Nick
One is she goes to the church convent because she, like, witnessed a murder or.
Greta Teitelman
Something. Right. In, like, Las Vegas. Okay, so I'm thinking of two.
Amanda
Yeah. The correct answer was.
Rob C

Greta Teitelman
Rules. Well, I know that there's the. The thrower in the sweeper, right? Like, the guy that's.
Justin
Like. That.
Greta Teitelman
Makes. I think it's just how. I think the rules are. This. Toss that disc, honey. You know, I think the rules are. I think the rules are. Let's see how far you can. You can glide this.
Mary
Disc. And since you are Shirley Temple, what sport would you play if you were an.
Greta Teitelman
Olympian? As Shirley Temple or, like. Okay, the Shirley Temple side Of me. Obviously it would be figure skating. Yes, obviously. Like, that's number one. But, like, the real. The real me. No, like, the athlete in me. I would probably want to do, like, downhill ski.
Nick
Racing. I always wondered, like, how do you practice? You know, the big ski jump where they. How do you. It's like, I've always wondered, like, the first time you put those skis on there, you just go down the big hill and.
Greta Teitelman
Fall. I mean, they practice. And first you, like, practice jumping into, like, like pits of.
Nick
Foam.
Greta Teitelman
Oh. And then you jump into, like, a pool. That's a whole other thing. And then you slowly build your way up to jumping off that big, big, swoopy, snowy.
Nick
Mass. Have you ever been to the.
Greta Teitelman
Olympics? I have not ever been to the Olympics. I've gone to World Cups for ski racing. My family is really big in skiing and skiing the ski community. So.
Nick
I've. Moguls or.
Greta Teitelman
Slalom. Like, what is. My. My cousins were ski racers and they were slalom skiers and giant slalom skiers. Not moguls. My aunt is a really good mogul skier. My little cousin Tyler, he's like a freestyle skier right now. You know, they're all just like, crazy ski, ski people. I. I love to ski, but I love to do, like, you know, I don't want to get injured. My husband tried to kill me last year. Skiing. Yeah. Tried to kill me. Took me on a kitty trail and took me.

Justin
Do.
Amanda
What?
Greta Teitelman
Skulling? What is that? That is when you are face down, head first on a sled. It's.

Greta Teitelman
Helmet. Yeah. It's. And how do you steer? You have. I believe you have like two. I think you are holding on to, like, either side. It's. You should look up videos. It's crazy. Bobsledding also would be really.

Like. Well, I think it's just about, like, being, like, really tired and breathing and then having to, like, calm yourself.
Greta Teitelman
And. Cause it's cross country skiing. So you're not like necessarily going. Going fast. You're just like on skis, like, moving through relatively flat.
Sierra
Terrain.
Greta Teitelman
Okay. But it's very. Yeah. Exhausting speed.
Mary
Skating. Nick was on special forces with Bodie.
Nick
Miller.
Amanda
Yeah.
Greta Teitelman
Wow. Oh, there you.
Mary
Go. So you're also basically a downhill.
Amanda
Skiller.
Greta Teitelman
Yes. I think I could be making this up, but I think in one race, he was going so fast and he, like, like, skied over a fence. Like a plastic fence. Like, melted the.
Nick
Plastic. He's a.
Mary
Man. I just saw his wife, Morgan Post when he.
Amanda
Like.
Mary
Yeah. Lost one ski and then.
Greta Teitelman
Finished.
Mary
Yeah. With.
Greta Teitelman
One. I'm very excited to watch Lindsay Vaughn come, like, the. A crazy comeback. She's going to be competing in the.
Nick
Olympics. Oh, she.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah. It's wild. I mean, 40 years old. But I think the thing that's crazy is, like, skiing is such a hard sport and like, I don't know, like anything when you, like, you have a prime and then when you get injured and injured. Injured, injured. And then you, like, have surgery and then you come back, it's like crazy to be making a comeback and to even.
Mary
Qualify. Do you know Jake Paul's fiance.
Amanda
Is.
Mary
Yes. She's a speed.
Greta Teitelman
Skater. She is.
Sierra
Yeah. She's just the big, long, long.
Greta Teitelman
Track. And then.
Justin
There'S.
Greta Teitelman
That'S. Then there's that golfer who's married to pole.
Mary
Vaulter. Your brain. You have a lot of knowledge.
Greta Teitelman
In there of bullshit, like crazy. Of literally.
Amanda
Nothing. Ricky.
Greta Teitelman
Fowler. Yeah. Ricky.
Amanda
Fowler. His wife is.
Greta Teitelman
Polter. Yeah, yeah. I know a bunch of random bullshit. Like, I can list you all of the names of Gwen Stefani's children. It's like, why do I know that?
Justin
Terrible.
Greta Teitelman
I. It's like, just takes. If you quizzed me on celebrity children, children's names, I would know.
Mary
Them.
Greta Teitelman
Wow. And that's.
Sierra
Upsetting. How do you feel like you would do on.
Greta Teitelman
Jeopardy?
Mary
Great.
Amanda
Yeah. Pop culture.
Sierra
Jeopardy. No, regular.
Greta Teitelman
Jeopardy. My problem though is it's like, I think the. The trigger, like, you know, and then always needing to say what is that would fuck me up. Yeah, I'm not very good. Like, I. Under that pressure. I'm not. I don't.
Nick
Know. Well, before you let go, you are a true crime.
Greta Teitelman
Fan. I am.
Nick
Yeah. Did she do it? Karen.
Greta Teitelman
Reid? Wait, hold on. I am a true. Wait, which is. Which one is Karen Reed hit.
Mary
The cop to Boston, arrested by a cop boyfriend out.
Greta Teitelman
Front. Oh, right, right, right out front. And the tail light and the da, da.
Sierra
Da. Was it the corrupt Boston police or was it Karen Reid backed into him with the broken tail.
Greta Teitelman
Light? Oh, I think it was the.
Mary
Police. 100 p. All the texts are coming out now. Yeah, yeah.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah. Also, didn't they say that it was like, imp. Possible that she would have killed him at that speed? Yeah, like.
Nick
Yeah. Do you have, like, a. A favorite true crime case you're currently.
Greta Teitelman
Following? Well, I'm listening to this podcast. Why am I now? I'M like blanking on what it's called. See, this is why I would not be listening to it, you know. Well, it's like every episode is a different like, scammer basically. And I just was like listening to one episode about this guy who was scamming a bunch of people out of their money and like owned like wedding venues and things of that sort. I was like kind of on the run. Went by a million different people's names. This. Anyway, started companies. I'm like, really? I'm in a scammer mode right now. I did just watch Bad Influencer, the.
Mary
Newest. Oh, I've heard that it was like a hard watch. Did you find.
Greta Teitelman
That? Well, it's just. I mean, I watched the other one about Ruby, Frankie, Frankie, Ruby, Frankie. And then now this is about like. Yeah, the co conspirator of that. And like, like, it's. To me, they're just so sick, like both of them, that it's not enjoyable. I mean, not that any of the true crime stuff is necessarily enjoyable.
Nick
But like, some of them are darker than.
Amanda
Others. Yeah, some of them makes you feel like.
Greta Teitelman
Really?
Nick
Yeah. Especially the, like, when kids are.
Greta Teitelman
Involved. Yeah. The stuff dealing with kids and like just. Yeah, the. That's.
Nick
Terrible.
Greta Teitelman
It. But I think we're all also fascinated obviously, because it's like a whole different psychology of a really up person. I don't know. Not.
Mary
Great. Not great, not good. Not.
Greta Teitelman
Good. Really bad. I also listened to you. Have you listened to this podcast, Unicorn Girl? Another scammer podcast, but this one, this chica mama was crazy. She was like, like, you know when people lie, but then because they're lying, they get the thing that they're lying about. Do you know what I mean? Like, if I was like, yeah, I'm gonna. I'm. I have this. I. I have these brown painted cowboy boots. I have these brown painted cowboy boots. Even though I don't. But then like, I somehow end up getting the brown painted cowboy boots. Do you know. Do you get what I'm saying by.
Nick
That? Manifest it, I.
Greta Teitelman
Guess. Manifest it. But like when you. That's a bad example. The cowboy boots didn't work. Basically. She was like, I have government contracts. She was like, I have CIA defense government contracts. This is a whole other.
Nick
Thing. And then people start sending.
Greta Teitelman
Her. Yes. Yeah. And then she like ended up having like seven like former black ops people, like, on this project with her. Her whole thing was like getting women out of sex trafficking.
Mary
Situations. That's like the girl who made her finsta account, like A cake baking. And then she started having to like, bake actual cakes because she started getting.
Greta Teitelman
Orders.
Nick
Yeah. Or yeah. Wasn't there like someone who like, pretended to be a nurse forever and she was like, treating.
Amanda
Patients? Oh.
Nick
Yeah. Never like a.
Greta Teitelman
Nurse. That. This is that.
Mary
Woman.
Amanda
Ok.
Sierra
Okay.
Greta Teitelman
She.
Mary
She. She's still in.
Greta Teitelman
Business. It's. She was a nurse. Well, she. And then she like started this. She wanted to get women out of sex trafficking or and just like being trafficked. And then she went to like help women escape the Taliban. It's all fucking crazy. If you want to listen to something that you're listening to it and you're kind of like, what are you talking about? It's that another good true.
Nick
Crime. Well, thanks for coming. This has been so much.
Greta Teitelman

Nick
Fun. The amazing, great assettlement.
Sierra
Everybody. Very.
Mary
Funny. Love her full.
Amanda
Knowledge. She does. I. I do feel representative of someone that like, knows a bunch of random things when there's someone else that like, knows a bunch of random things.
Justin
Also. I mean, this has a compliment, but I see the Whitney rose comparison. I didn't think it until she brought it up and I see it. I mean, it's in the bob in the eye.
Nick
Guys. No, that's like she's literally. That's like the Internet saying, any guy with curly hair and a couple stubbles on his face looks like.
Mary
Me. Any.
Justin
Brunette. Were they.
Amanda
Wrong? I mean, yeah. I mean, in the way that.
Nick
Like, it's just like, oh, my boyfriend looks just like you and they send me a picture. It's like a person with. It's a guy with curly.
Justin
Hair. That's true. It's never a compliment when someone says you look like this person. That's true. But I mean it as a compliment. I see the Whitney rose, I.
Nick
Guess. I guess. I mean, both wonderfully looking people. I just like one. They.
Amanda
Have. They have two different faces. They have different faces. Isn't Greta so funny? You should. Guys should like, go and go.
Nick
Check out our show description. She is performing in San.
Amanda
Francisco. We're going to link her website.
Nick
Yeah. All right, Traders, we got Rob C. Joining us just in a moment. But before we get to Rob. It's a good.
Sierra
Season. Oh, I'm loving every minute of this show. We are.
Amanda
Back.
Nick
Rob. Sexy Rob or. Well, I mean, they're both.
Sierra
Sexy. Everyone on Traders is so.
Amanda
Good. But yes, Rob, Sexy Rob. I do fear I am team Traders. I'm team turret this season. Candace. Rena, like, give it to.
Nick
Me. No one's suspecting them at.
Amanda
All.
Sierra
No. I think Candace kind of seems like she would be the most obvious, but that's kind of a why I liked the fact that they added in, like, the secret Trader because I feel like it kind of humbled the audience a little bit. Even though we. I think a lot of people did suspect Mama.
Nick
Kelsey. I'm shocked.
Amanda
That. Kind of glad she was gone.
Nick
Soon.
Amanda
What?
Nick
Sorry. Shame on.
Amanda
You. Was everyone was going to be scared of voting her off because of the Swifties, so it's nice that she got her.
Nick
Moment. I've. I've had the flu, so I haven't really looked. But what. What have the Swifties.
Amanda
Said? I mean, I think the Swifties get. I think it was nice that she had her special moment as the secret Trader. I've been on. I've been on Rob is so hot side of Traders. Twitter not. We're mad.
Greta Teitelman
At. We're mad about.
Sierra
Donna. I kind of think the Swifties like, were like, they got their shout out and they were like, oh, we can't do what they think we're going to do. So we're going to be.
Nick
Elegant. We're.
Mary
Classy.
Amanda
Yeah. Let's treat people. People with.
Sierra
Kindness. It's their queen's mother in.
Nick
Law. Like, I can't believe.
Justin
Portia. I.
Nick
Know. Got. Got kind of bamboozled by.
Amanda
Candice. She caught her on a flat.
Nick
Lie. Impressed by that.
Rob C
Lie.
Nick
I. The way that Candace did not hesitate. She's like, oh, you must have misheard.
Mary
Me. I didn't say.
Nick
Today. I didn't say today. I rewinded yesterday. You were talking about the thing that we did today.
Justin
Huh? Maura Higgins going, I don't recall that. Yeah, she was. She got saved by Maura not remembering.
Mary
It. To be honest, if Maura. And Maura's like, I don't even remember what I had for breakfast. It's like, how is your memory that bad? Like, y' all all had a discussion. Y' all all had visceral reactions to Michael allegedly saying, get the.
Nick
Housewives. It was true gaslighting. Because Portia was like, I don't know. Maybe I misheard her. I don't.
Sierra
Know. It's also why Candace is such a queen on Potomac. I'm like, the way that she can backtrack and then make you feel.
Justin
Crazy. No. And then Portia, like, bless her heart, I love her. And honestly, she's too smart for the cast because the fact that she said there's four traitors and nobody knew that, and people think she's just slipped up. I don't think she slipped up. I think she's.
Mary
Smart. That was a crazy thing to say.
Justin
Though. It.
Amanda
Was. Portia has had the potential of being, like, the Gabby Wendy of the season, where everyone would have underestimated her, but she was.
Justin
Right. I.
Nick
Don'T. Well, I don't think anyone under.
Mary
Esther estimated I think the thing that was so great about Gabby was that she could really hold her own at the round table. And I felt like Portia's argument just, like, wasn't as good as it could have.
Justin
Been. She didn't get a chance to cook. Like, if you guys know Portia, she would have gone for the jugular with everybody, but she was choosing losing peace. And then they took advantage of.
Nick
Her. Sometimes you have to warm up. And I think early on, I feel like most people are just like.
Amanda
Don'T. Yeah, don't go too.
Nick
Much. Don't do too.
Amanda
Much. Don't be Michael Rapaport in this.
Nick
Moment. Yeah, Michael. I'm enjoying Michael. I know he's pissing everyone off, but, like, you need.
Sierra
That. The editors knew what they were doing. Like, showing him shoveling that food into his mouth like they were just like, just so you know, when he's.
Nick
Like, I'm the greatest looking.
Amanda
Guy. My favorite part of Michael Rappaport on Traders is that video of him getting thrown, a snowball thrown at him going viral again. It always makes me laugh. It's so.
Nick
Silly.

Rob C
Show. Wow, what an honor. So excited to be.
Nick
Here. Thanks for having me. We are honored to have you. We are super bummed to see you go. You know one of our household members, Zach, who works for Us the Greatest was incredibly excited that you got casted and was talking about how well he thought you were going to do. And obviously we're super bummed. But you know, as, as the show goes, you just, just so much is out of your control. And it really seems like now that we're in the. It's the fourth season. Yeah. Am I right? I feel like the, the rest of the non gamers, so to speak, have caught on to the fact that you guys are really good at this and I clearly not that.
Rob C
Good. Nick, I'm.
Nick
Here. Sure. But like early on, you know, it's just like let you know, you kind of, just kind of, you know, like Wells last year. I mean, it's like what are you gonna, you know, someone's gotta go. And then like when it seems like when people just like get a in their mouth, it's like as long as it's not me, people will vote for that person. But your case is particularly interesting because you got murdered in plain sight. And at least from what we saw, it sure seemed like you were kind of on them when it was happening. I don't know if that was as clever editing, but can you just kind of walk us through your murder and did you see it coming? How close were you to maybe catching them red handed? And I just want to get your thoughts and feelings on the whole.
Rob C
Thing. I'm at the castle and it's a sad night because Portia just got banished and I just felt like, wow, this night is a very long night. I'm. I'm ready to go to bed. And it just was an endless night. And I just realized, oh my God, what if the Traders are up to something tonight? Because there typically is a murder in plain sight early on in the season. And so I'm sort of like looking around and then a frickin conga line breaks out. And it was not the kind of night where it was like, hey, we're partying, let's have a congline. It seemed very out of the ordinary, so I went and ducked into a room to go hide. Which I, I think anytime you're at a party and a conga line breaks out, go hide. That is, I think the absolutely.
Nick
Want nothing to do with the Congo line.
Rob C
Period. You don't want anything to do with. Especially you know, you don't to be on TV doing a conga line. And I went into the other room and then I, I felt very close with Tiffany, who I told about it, and I felt very close with Candace and Mark and I, I wanted to warn them, like, hey, I think the traders are up to something. And then I had. Remember Candace had mentioned earlier that this was not the first time she mentioned the conga line. And I said, oh, wait, no, but, but you were the one that started the conga line. And I felt like, oh, maybe I shouldn't have said that. And I didn't know if that was going to come back. I think ultimately she never got back together with the other traders, so it didn't ultimately come back to bite me. But I did have a moment where I was like, ooh, I did. I might have put my foot in my.
Nick
Mouth. Yeah.
Mary
Yeah. I was going to ask you if you felt it was coincidence or like you slipped up and maybe you shouldn't have told him that you.
Rob C
Thought. I don't think I should have told Candace, but I really, I felt good about her. She was somebody that I had been working with, but I wasn't trying to go to Candace and be confrontational with her. And I mean, could you imagine had Rob R. Not picked me to be the person to be murdered in plain sight? Like, I think it would have been a big problem for the traitors had I been there the next.
Mary
Day. Did you feel like him and Rinna playing chess was odd too, or did that feel.
Rob C
Normal? You know, Rob R. Played chess with so many people in the castle. I did not think it was specifically weird that he. I had seen him in that same seat with multiple people over the last couple of days, so it didn't seem like it was too out of the ordinary for.
Nick
Me. Rob. Rob ours plan clearly is kind of play that quiet, cool, good looking guy. He seems really good at it. We got what I was going to do. Equally handsome. But um, we got to see him obviously as season six and, and also interview him a while back, but he's clearly no dummy, but he knows how to play that kind of like, aw, shucks. I'm just, I don't. All I, all I know how to do is be good looking and it really seems to be working for him and he really seems like an ideal trader. Do you, I mean, were you shocked when, whenever you found out that he was a traitor, what, what was your.
Rob C
Reaction? I really was surprised and I want to give him credit because I think he's done a really good job so far because, because I did not think that he was playing the game like that. He seemed kind of like he didn't really care about anything. He was eating Oreos and looking for drinks and like Hitting the fridge constantly. He did not look to me as somebody who really was very focused on the game. So he. He's got a really good cover going on right.
Mary
Now. What are your thoughts on Michael Rapaport and is he playing poorly or.
Rob C
Well, Are you kidding me? Michael Rappaport playing a good game or what? Michael Rappaport has. Does. Does this guy know how to get screen time or what? Is Michael Rappaport not have. He's hijacked the whole show. I had said instantly from the time that he first started getting all worked up like, this is not a traitor. No traitor would act like this. And there were people. He was just so all over the place that I think people were like, oh, well, that obviously he's throwing names out. He must be a traitor. And I couldn't get any traction in people thinking, like, there's no traitor who would ever act like this. And so clearly, he is not a traitor. And I had floated this. I had said this to Lisa Richard. I said, lisa, you know him like these. That he's. These. This is how he is, right? She's like, no, no.
Greta Teitelman
No.
Rob C
He's. He's an actor. He's a very good actor. I said, lisa, is he a 247 method actor when the cameras aren't even on? Because this is how he is all the.
Mary
Time. This is how he is on his Instagram.
Rob C
Stories. Yeah, this is. This is Michael Rappaport all the time. So I did not feel like that he was a traitor, but I think that the traders really liked having him as a distraction, and I think that me talking him up as. As I thought he was a very bad faithful who needed to go home. But I think that they didn't like that. I was, you know, making some sense with.
Sierra
That. Who were you suspecting to be a traitor out of your.
Rob C
Castmates? So I had thought that, first off, I thought Dorinda was a traitor because I thought it made sense that they brought her back and maybe wanted her to be safe. And she was so calm last season. Remember when she got on the list for to be. To be murdered, and then she. They didn't save dinner for her, and she went after Bob the drag queen and went crazy. And then this time, she was marked for murder, and she was so calm. I thought, what. What gives? Since. Since when is Dorinda this Zen? And I thought that that was suspicious. I had also thought that Jam Jam was somebody who. I thought. I did not think that they would do a season with no gamers in the turret. People that were from the CBS reality shows. I thought that he was the person who would be most likely to be a.
Nick
Trader. Well, speaking of that, to your point, there are no gamers in the turret, and I am curious, you know what, how do you think that will play out? Because it's certainly an interesting choice by the.
Justin
Producers.
Nick
Yeah. And so far it seems to be working because I feel like a lot of the cast is, you know, like. Like Michael Rapaport said, it's got to be a housewife. It's. Or got to be a gamer. It's got to be one of them. And it's. It's not. It's certainly not a gamer. And everyone seems to be, like, hunting all the gamers to just find one of them, and it really seems to be tricking.
Rob C
Everybody. So while it did not personally benefit me, I think overall, for the health of the show and for the franchise, I think it was a smart decision to do a season where you don't have gamers in the turret, because even though I would tell Michael Rapaport, hey, look, maybe they have no people from Survivor or Big Brother in the turret this season, I didn't really believe it, but they did it this season. And so now for future seasons of the traitors that I died so that my future Survivor players can.
Nick
Live. Of course, Donna Kelsey, obviously, she came on the show with a lot of fanfare and excitement, and she was the secret trader, which, you know, it makes so much sense why they picked her, but it almost. It clearly backfired because, you know, was she giving herself away or was it simply based off the idea that she would make the perfect traitor because no one would, quote, unquote, suspect.
Rob C
Her?
Nick
Yeah. Or. Or have the guts to vote for her. So did the group get together and say, you know what? This is our best shot. It's the most common sense, you know, person. And. Or did. Or did Donna give herself away in any. In any.
Rob C
Way? Nick, can it be all the above? Because I feel like that Donna did not take to being a traitor in that way, which. Where I think that Don, as a faithful, I think she really could have made some relationships, but I. I don't get the sense that she really wanted to be a traitor. And then so she ends up getting the secret trader card, and so she's sort of, like, thrust into this role, and I think she was just very uncomfortable and free. She really only had close relationships with Ron Funches and Michael Rappaport, and so she was really having a hard time time fitting in. With the group. So she's already kind of disconnected, and I just don't know if she's a traitor at heart. And so I just felt like that people were able to assess that her energy was just very off. And also, what a great story to make Donna Kelsey one of the.
Mary
Traitors. I felt like it kind of isolated her even more to make her the secret trader, because if she was one of the traitors, she would have at least had some alliance, but no one knew, you know, so just like, no one was there to help her. She had. She had no support.
Rob C
System. Yeah, that's great.
Nick
Point. She kept saying she has fans of anyone. I was curious that anyone like Quizzer be like, oh, really? What season was I.
Rob C
On? Yeah, you know, like, yeah, she seemed like she was really into Big Brother. I feel.
Nick
Like. Back to Candace's big lie, I was. I'm always impressed with someone who can. Can just lie that quickly without any kind of thought, but she really seemed to put her foot in her mouth when she attacked Michael and made up that lie, which almost. Which seemed really silly because it's like, you don't think someone's gonna, like, notice that Michael didn't actually say that, but it really clearly affected Portia that more than it affected Candace. What was your awareness of that lie and how much speculation? Because from our point of view view, it didn't seem like Candace caught any heat from that lie. She quickly turned it. She quickly denied it. No one was like, wait, why? Are you sure? Are you sure she didn't say that? But, like, it was shocking that saying something and doing something that foolish didn't seem to in any way put a target on her.
Rob C
Back. So there's so much going on, and Michael Rappaport is saying so much, and that he. He did start off by saying, saying, hey, there's five fucking housewives, and it's got to be a traitor there. I'm not a math guy, but that's a traitor. So there was. There was that, and then he got misquoted of that. He said, put it in a housewife's grave. So I think that Candace was talking about all those, I think, as a trader. And Candace, I think, has been so fun to watch so far, but she's trying to, I think, hype up Michael Rapaport is a traitor. And so. So she was throwing a lot out there. And, you know, good on Porsche for trying to go back to the source and find out if he really said that. But in the moment in that room, it felt like that Michael Rapaport was lying more so than Candace had been caught in a.
Nick
Lie. Interesting, interesting. Who do you think are some of the stronger players from, you know, that you got to know? Obviously, we're speaking in the context of no spoilers or anything like that, but from when you look left, who did you think were some of the stronger players that you think could go the.
Rob C
Distance? So from my perspective leaving the Castle, Tiffany from Big Brother was somebody who I really felt very good with. I thought that she was somebody who was a great strategist on her season and somebody that I felt like that we were really starting to get somewhere. Monet is another person who is just super smart, has all of these different, different great relationships with people. And I felt like that Monet could figure things out. And I really had hit it off with Mark Ballas. And he's somebody who I think people were very unsuspecting of, but somebody who was a really big fan of these shows and was somebody who I.
Nick
Think people were sleeping on back to Michael Rapaport and Candace and I just had this thought as you were speaking, Wouldn't it make sense for the traitors to protect Michael because he is such a distraction and he's offering them so much cover. So if I'm a trader, he's getting all this attention. I would want to keep Michael around as long as possible, because as long as Michael keeps yapping and pointing fingers, he's just creating so much confusion that no one can really, to your point, focus on who really is a.
Rob C
Trader. To me, I just thought for the faithful, it was such a win, win to get rid of Michael Rappaport. If you think he's a traitor, fine, he's not. But he was holding us back. Back from having any sort of productive conversations. But the traders loved Michael Rapaport. They wanted to keep him in there because as long as Michael Rapaport was in the game, that the faithful are going to keep chasing their tails so that he has been really a secret traitor in his own way because he's helping the faithful from ever figuring out what they actually should be going.
Nick
For. Just a random question. What was the temperature there while you were filming? Because sometimes it looks like, you know, know, they should be freezing in the water. Sometimes you guys are dressed up quite.
Rob C
Warm. Such a good.
Nick
Question. What's. What is it? Johnny Weir, like, fell in the lake, and I was like, oh, my God, he's in hypothermia. And then he seemed.
Rob C
Fine. Nick, I'm sure one day you will be able to tell us what the weather is like in Scotland, but that it changes, like on a dime so that the sun could be out. Then the clouds come in, and then it's freezing. And also in the castle, sometimes there's room where it's just super hot and it's like, oh, my God, I'm like, sweating in here. So it is very hard to keep a consistent temperature at any point in the.
Nick
Traders. Okay, what are your predictions, Rob, going forward? Do you think it's going to be a Traders game, or do you think the faithful will.
Rob C
Overcome? You know, the faithful did get out a trader at the rounds, the last roundtable that we saw. But honestly, I feel like that Candace was the most effective trader hunter where I feel like that she was, from my perspective, at the roundtable where Donna almost went home leading the charge against Donna. And then finally, it's so funny to see a traitor really leading the discussion of, hey, let's get this other person out who she doesn't know for sure is the secret trader. I want to see if the faithful can counterpunch, because I think in this season, we have really, really smart and effective traders. Right now. I don't really see a hole with the traders, and sometimes you have a trader that's like, really the weak link. I don't see that so far with these three traders that they.
Nick
Picked. Yeah. And they're really working together. You know, for example, like, Candace didn't know that they killed you. And you could see a world where Candace could have taken that personally. She could have been like, why didn't you include me? You know.
Rob C
It'S. She was.
Nick
Happy. Yeah. Yeah. But like, good for them for, you know, working as a team because. And they. They seem to clearly learn that from last season where there was so much, much confrontation between the traders early.
Rob C
On. And Lisa Rinna has been such a revelation as a trader also, that this is a role that she was born for. And she's also been so fun in the.
Nick
Turret. Rob, can't thank you enough for taking the time. You got your own show as well that people enjoy listening to.
Justin
You. Can.
Nick
You. You plug your stuff before we let you.
Rob C
Go? Yeah. Thank you so much, Nick. And I'm talking about all these competition shows over on. Rob is a podcast. Podcasts rhap. Wherever you listen to.
Nick
Podcasts. All right, Rob C. We appreciate you. Sorry to see you go, man. But we'll be enjoying the rest of this season Traders along with you the rest of the.
Rob C
Way. Yeah. Thanks for having me. Appreciate.
Justin
It. Take.
Sierra
Care. The last episode when Rob and Maura. Hot Rob and Mora. Sorry. Not hot Rob. That's mean to.
Amanda
Him. He's the only Rob.
Mary
Left. Alabama.
Justin
Rob.
Mary
Rob.
Nick
Rob. It's not. It's not.
Sierra
Mean. You know, I wouldn't want to be on a show with somebody and then.
Nick
Be. I like to think that I can be either easy on the eyes. But if I were on this season with sexy Rob, I would. You know, the guy.
Amanda
Is. If it was you and Nick from Love.
Sierra
Island. Just because we know something to be true doesn't make it feel any better. If I was on a show with Sierra Miller and I was. And she was the hot Sierra. I can't take it personally, but I'm gonna take it kind of.
Nick
Personally. Some people are just so.
Sierra
Hot. I know, But I was gonna say, hey, one thing about him is hot is that I'm like. I didn't realize that his mind works. Worked so.
Nick
Strategically. See, now that sounds mean.
Sierra
Yeah. But I'm like, that's what I'm saying. I'm like, that's what's making him so much more attractive to.
Nick
Me. He ended. No. On Love island, he. You couldn't. You knew he was. You know, he was a sharp guy. He was.
Justin
Very. Jumping into pools and.
Amanda
Throwing. I didn't watch that season of Love island, so this is the first Rob I'm.
Nick
Getting. He's also funny. When he was like. And I haven't even made out with someone yet.
Amanda
Yeah. I thought he was very self aware of his, like, Persona, and he was going in there to, like, really be on Traitors. And the fact that he's a traitor.
Sierra
Is. I was gonna say Rob's like the. The Leo of Love island, because all we know is that everybody finds you palatable and hot. But, like, we didn't know anything else about him besides he hunts snakes. Like, this is the first time that I'm, like, seeing. Oh, the wheels turning, and I'm like a PR machine behind.
Amanda
Him. This is.
Nick
You. He also might be one of the most seemingly. I don't. I don't know Rob that well, but secure hot people. Because most real hot people aren't very secure because, like, their whole identity is wrapped up in their.
Sierra
Hotness.
Amanda
Right. But he also has.
Nick
Snakes. He also doesn't seem to, like, care about being.
Sierra
Hot. Not at all. I think it's just, like, an added bonus for him. He's like, I'd rather be in a marsh somewhere catching some snakes and amphibians and.
Amanda
Things.
Nick
Yeah. So anyway, but my point Is that the other.
Sierra
Rob? When Rob and Mora coupled up for the last challenge, the way that I want that to happen so badly, I don't.
Mary
Know. I felt like when she was like, you're gonna do everything. I'm not gonna do anything. You're gonna do that. I'm not gonna do this. He was kind of like, okay.
Sierra
It'S probably not his.
Mary
Type. You know, not a team.
Justin
Player. Sarah, you're on it. Because he was, like, grabbing her. They were hugging each other, holding hands. He, like, picked her.
Sierra
Up. I was like, oh, that's the challenge. He had his arm over her, and I was like, oh, my.
Amanda
God. He thought they were still on that.
Rob C
Villa.
Nick
Yeah. It was definitely, definitely a big L for New York instincts from Michael Rappaport. He really leaned on his street cred and was. He had me convinced that Jam Jam was a.
Justin
Traitor. Oh. Not that I wasn't convinced that Jam Jam was a traitor, but I was like, he has to be a traitor is where I was.
Nick
Going. No, but, like, yeah. Michael had just kept referring to his street instincts and way.
Mary
Off. I feel like they're not going to think he's a traitor, but they're just going to vote him off because they're like, we're tired of him yelling. Yelling all the time. So let's just vote him.
Justin
Out. I saw a tweet that said, Michael Rappaport is making me miss Danielle from last.
Mary
Season. And I was like, oh, yeah, I think he's funny. I think he's. I think he's good on television. I think he's. Yeah, but I. I just think they. Every time he's yelling, I always feel like. Like, Caroline Stansbury and Mara, they're all like, okay, stop talking about, yeah.
Nick
Mara and Caroline Stansbury just cannot. With.
Mary
Michael.
Nick
They're.
Amanda
They're. Caroline Stanbury not being able to fuck with him is.
Justin
Awesome. The queen of etiquette. Yeah. She's like, here we go.
Nick
Again. Like, queen of etiquette compared to a guy who has maybe no.
Greta Teitelman
Manners.
Mary
Yeah. I.
Amanda
Think. Here's my thing with Michael. I think he needs to be gone soon because I think he's a main.
Greta Teitelman
Here. No, no, no.
Amanda
No. Here's my theory. I think he's too present, and he's sucking too much attention onto him. They need to get him out so he can focus on the other characters, but he's gonna, like, create enough drama that it's gonna continue him. He's a Jen Shaw type. He's, like a big center of attention. We want the others to.
Justin
Shine. They. Yeah, they say when you're, like, the cartoon.
Mary
Character.
Amanda
Yeah. He's, like, getting all the screen time. I'm like, I want to see Caroline.
Sierra
Stanberry. I am kind of surprised that Lisa Rinna is flying under the radar, because I feel like Candace said from the. From the jump before she was a traitor or that she thought that, like, Lisa Rinna would have all of the makings to be a great traitor, which I also agree.
Amanda
With.
Sierra
Yeah. But yet nobody's suspected her as of.
Mary
Yet. And also, I mean, I guess, like, to Rob's point, that, like, he didn't find the chess playing that obvious, because Rob did that a lot. But I guess, like, thinking, like, combining Lisa Rinna was just part of the conga line, where they're like, yes, let's do it together. That would be so fun. Conga. Conga, conga. And then to have her then also Lisa sitting and playing and, like, the way that they were playing just felt sketchy, you.
Nick
Know? You were watching them play.
Mary
Chess. Tara wasn't.
Sierra
Tara. Well, that's what I thought. I thought she, like, has played chess once or twice before because it was like, you don't move like that. You don't move four pawns out. There's never gonna be an explanation.
Mary
To show somebody that the rules of.
Nick
Chess. Any of you guys know how to.
Amanda
Play?
Nick
Yeah.
Justin
Nope. So.
Sierra
Good. I play with.
Justin
Connor. I can.
Amanda
Play. Wait, you play.
Greta Teitelman
Chess? That's.
Sierra
Hot.
Nick
Thanks.
Justin
I'll. Marcia, we'll air it somewhere. Okay, let's.
Mary
Go. But it's like, it was like, that felt. Lisa Rinna is now tied into two separate, random things that.
Justin
Happen. So Lisa Rinna's always dancing on a table, doing something. Like when Candace said being extra pays off, it's.
Sierra
Like. And like, that's what I'm saying. The Personas of how people know them. But I'm just kind of like. I don't know if you know anything about her as, like, a housewife or anything. I would just be like.
Justin
You. Me.
Sierra
Too.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah.
Nick
Yeah. All right. Well, speaking of housewives, the Housewives of Beverly Hills are back on our TV screen. And I like them. I love them. I. Kathy Hilton lesson today. You know, it's why people like Kathy.
Mary
Hilton.
Nick
Yeah. And not me. You know, because I'm the guy who would be like, yeah. I don't know. Like, you know, and she's like, I love.
Justin
That. And she goes, that's.
Nick
Great. That's great. I'd have been like, you know, I don't know. I'm not sure.
Sierra
Sure. That's.
Justin
Great.
Sierra
Yeah. I would take a page out of Kathy Elton's book no matter what. Whether it comes to entertaining or. Yeah. How to not listen and not have to ask follow up.
Nick
Questions. Do you travel with decorative.
Sierra
Pillows? I do.
Amanda
Not. Oh my God. The way when she took out the pillows, that was the best thing I've ever seen. My mom loves to bring a pillow when she's going.
Sierra
Somewhere. It's like, I respect it, but.
Amanda
I was like, I'm never gonna do.
Sierra
It. One pillow. She pulled out two pillows and.
Amanda
She had like a whole bag just for the pillows that she was bringing to.
Nick
Sedona. The most insane thing I saw this episode was shipping your.
Sierra
Luggage.
Nick
Yeah. And I'm trying to figure this out because then they had this scene with Bose, who, like her glam team was there. So clearly the wives took a private plane to.
Mary
Sedona.
Nick
Yes. Makes sense. Why, like, okay, limit restrictions for how much luggage they could bring. But why didn't Rachel just have her team bring the rest of her luggage on the obvious commercial flight that I'm sure they.
Amanda
Took? Maybe there wasn't room and she would have had. Maybe they did. They do have a.
Nick
Limit. Like.
Amanda
You. I don't.
Justin
Know. The private planes have a big limit. Cuz in my head I'm like.
Mary
I feel like it was more like Rachel didn't want to have to push her 12 suitcases.
Amanda
Onto. Maybe she thought it was. Yeah, I agree with you. She probably thought it would be really chic to like show up and her luggage was waiting for her rather.
Mary
Than getting it off the.
Justin
Plane. Isn't it cheaper to ship it than it is to bring it on a plane Sometimes, like, depending on how many bags you.
Nick
Have. Just don't feel.
Justin
Like. I feel like I've heard.
Mary
That. I don't think she's ever to ever depend on the mail service for.
Justin
Like, for a travel.
Sierra
Arrival. And it's Rachel Zo. So I'm sure she has a lot of like, airline status that I'm like, she's not paying.
Justin
Extra. That's.
Sierra
True. To ship.
Nick
Anything. And if she is, I don't. I mean, I don't imagine she's budgeting for.
Sierra
That. No, she doesn't have to. But I'm just like, I thought one of the coolest things was just how she reacted to it. Because if that were me, I would be spiraling. If that was dorit, imagine the women would not be hearing the end of it. And she was just like, all right, here we.
Amanda
Go. Well, it. Well, she looked fat. That was the thing. She looked like. She was like in american horror story.
Sierra
Coven.
Mary
Yeah. I just changed my jewelry. It's like, you brought all of that jewelry just, like, in your.
Sierra
Purse.
Mary
Prioritization. All those necklaces. How are they not.
Amanda
Tangled? She had a big hat and sunglasses that I haven't seen look that good since, like.
Mary
2016. I do love that we're back to, like, hats, shaming clothes. You know, like, Rachel being like, Amanda is just wearing LV logos everywhere. And it is. It's like, that is peak.
Greta Teitelman
Housewives. But happy for her. Yeah.
Sierra
Yeah. No, it was. She loves.
Amanda
It. She loves.
Justin
It. But imagine if Rachel zo was on dorit season, like, four seasons ago when it was like, brand on brand on.
Rob C
Brand.
Amanda
Chanel. Chanel.
Justin
Chanel.
Amanda
Yeah.
Sierra
Yeah. But I'm gonna give dorit credit there, because I was like, you know, I. I would never. Because it was so loud, but I was like, there was something about just, like, the fashion choices that dorit makes that I'm like, you can't stand.
Justin
By. I think she's nailing. I'm just saying, like, she used to be the queen of. Of, like, here's my.
Sierra
Brand. And then Amanda was just very much giving. Like, I bought.
Mary
This. And them pointing out, obviously, now they're, like, gonna focus on it. But every time Amanda's like, oh, Yeah, I spent $10,000 on crystals one.
Sierra
Time. The one upping is.
Amanda
Wild. You know what that reminded me of? Like, what was her name? Sierra in the. The sunglasses.
Mary
$12,000. Oh, my.
Sierra
God. Was it Dana? Was it Dana.
Amanda
Wilkes? Dana.
Nick
Yes.
Sierra
Yeah. When she was like, I bought $25,000. She's from Beverly Hills. $25,000.
Amanda
Sunglasses. It was like, season.
Sierra
Two. And all of the women were like, why are. Why. Why would you buy.
Justin
25,000? And now she's infamous for the sunglasses.
Amanda
Right? 25. She kept just being like.
Sierra
$25,000. You want to try them.
Amanda
On? They're $25,000.
Justin
$5,000. They do dog on Amanda too much. I will say she's.
Amanda
New. I think she can, like, why.
Justin
Can'T she be the manifester and the scrappier person in the group, you.
Sierra
Know? Did anybody watch selling sunset in this.
Amanda
Room?
Sierra
No. Okay, well, does anybody remember Davina from selling.
Justin
Sunset? I know.
Sierra
Davina. Okay, so Davina, Amanda was actually on a season of selling sunset. She fired Divina because she didn't like where divina was pricing her house or whatever. And this whole exchange is quite, like, obnoxious. And you have the what's the blonde friend that was friends with Chrishell Mary. You have, like, Mary trying to facilitate this conversation. And Amanda's, like, reading Davina to filth, being, like, pretty much like, I just don't like how you're doing things. You're scaring me how much you're texting me whatnot. So then to see her talking about this how House yet again on a completely different series clearly did not sell, and it wasn't Davina's fault. But, yeah, I don't know. There's something about the way that her personality is coming in that I'm like, I'm not liking.
Nick
You. I love.
Sierra
Amanda. I know you.
Amanda
Do. I. I fuck with Amanda as well. I think she thinks she's serving more than she is, but I love.
Sierra
It. You know, I was like. When she was describing what an app does, I was like that. I'm. Yeah, that's.
Nick
Great. I wonder how long she actually talked for. They made it seem like five.
Sierra
Hours. Oh, well, I'm, like, explaining tech to these women. We might be here for a while. Explain waiting Tuck to me will be here for a.
Justin
While. She was proud of it. And then they were just like, eh, you.
Nick
Know? Well, I bet we have a rapid.
Mary
Recap. We do. If you missed the most recent episode of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, here is your rapid recap. Sutton got cheese for Jennifer Tilly. She's also drinking less and planning a girl's trip to Sedona to prove she's a better person now, mainly to Dorit, But Dorit is actually more focused on ruining PK's life at the moment. She tells Kyle PK is out for blood. Kyle says, weirdly enough, Mo told her the exact, exact opposite. This means PK must be lying. According to Dorit, Rachel Zoe is a proud boy mom at Leia. Kathy Hilton declares B Pollen is in for 2026. And then Kathy Hilton, Jennifer Tilly, and Sutton have dinner with new girl Amanda to see if she can hang. She can, but she gets a bit too comfortable psychoanalyzing Erika Jane too fast, and Sutton goes Reba mode on her. Also, Sutton's looking hot. Rachel Zoe understands that everyone is bringing their own vibe to Sedona, fashion wise, but also lifestyle wise. Rachel's vibe is, in fact, AHS Coven, and she's stuck in it. After FedExing her luggage, Kathy Hilton has brought her own pillows to the hotel in Sedona because she's an icon and a star. Sutton soft launches rebranding as Sutton Brown, Amanda explains her job. Kyle Says, I'm happy for you, or, sorry that happened. Erica hard launches. John Diva is cuffed. Everybody is happy for.
Amanda
Her.
Nick
Yeah. I was really endearing for.
Mary
Erica. I wonder if they're still together. Do we know they.
Nick
Are? Hern track. Yeah, it really. I mean, you know, it. It really made me think about how, like, you know, when someone goes through a divorce or just a really hard breakup, especially as we, you know, get older in life, how we, like, lower our expectations of love, you know, and just to have Erica say, like, you know, it's been a fun few months, you know, it's sad sometimes as, like, we get older in life and, like, you know, our hearts are broken, and we just kind of. We kind of give up on the possibility that we can meet someone later in life and be happy. And it's. You know, it was very heartwarming. And. And Erica is someone. I feel like she's always talked about feeling misunderstood and misrepresented. And, you know, many of us relate to that.
Sierra
Feeling. Well, she's currently not under fire, but the Internet is a blaze. Talking about how she's kind of. She said something in an interview talking about how she wants to keep the relationship private. And so then people are bringing up the fact of last reunion with Garcelle, how she called Garcelle boring because she just wasn't offering anything or sharing enough about her.
Amanda
Life.
Greta Teitelman
Yeah.
Sierra
Yeah. And so now people are mad at Erica being like, well, how can you have this relationship and you refuse to share it, and then you're not sharing.
Mary
All. I feel like she shared a lot in this most recent.
Nick
Episode. Yeah, well, there's a difference between. I mean, listen, they all can have an opinion of each other, but just because you don't want to share.
Sierra
One thing doesn't mean you're not sharing.
Amanda
Everything. I think it's hard with Beverly Hills because obviously the critique. Critique of it is that they're not actually sharing their real lives. But I watched Salt Lake City, and then I'm like, I could. Could you imagine if they were going that hard on each other, like, how traumatized all these women would.
Sierra
Be? I feel like they used to, but I'm like, that's what I'm saying is, like, I feel like people don't.
Amanda
Really get darker on Beverly Hills.
Sierra
Though. People don't really give grace for, like, what people have shared versus just like, maybe it's not this person's season or moment. I was like, Erica had her entire relationship with.
Justin
Tom.
Sierra
Yeah. And the. Everything that happened with the case after the fact. And Erica Jane as the performer going on tour with her. Like, I mean, she shares so many aspects of her life that I'm like, if she wants to date somebody, let her date track.
Mary
Exactly. It was also beautiful to see her sitting in front of her washer and dryer with her. Dyson plugged in behind her doing the laundry. That was real as f. So.
Sierra
Real. Asking the dogs who did.
Amanda
This. That's the real real house.
Mary
Dogs. All the lint in compartment. It was so.
Sierra
Real. And then we had Dorit showing up an hour and a half late for anything. I don't know. I just feel like it's anything whether it's a dinner. I mean, I couldn't imagine somebody chartering a private plane and showing up late or feeling comfortable. At that point. I'd been like, I have to deal with something with my kids commercial. I'll fly out and I'll meet you guys.
Mary
There. I think it's an hour and.
Sierra
A half is just for anything. Like, no one's holding your table. The Uber has left. Like, I'm just like, in what world do we think it's acceptable to be an hour and a half late to.
Mary
Anything?
Nick
Anything? What's. How much can you be late without any, like.
Sierra
Explanation? Because didn't she hold up a.
Mary
Reunion for a couple even 10 minutes? It's like, I'm like, I'm so sorry. I was caught in traffic and then this happened, you know, like 10 minutes. I feel like you deserve an.
Sierra
Explanation. I'm, like, watching the clock and I'm texting, being like, oh, my.
Amanda
God.
Sierra
Okay. But my ETA is 802. I am so.
Nick
Sorry. Like, I got Alex Baskin said to read just don't give a fuck this.
Sierra
Season. So, I mean, but you know what? I appreciate the energy because she is really bringing a different side to herself, and I'm really.
Amanda
Appreciating. Yeah, man, I love dirty. I do watch just, like, hours of Dorit walking around, not doing.
Greta Teitelman
Anything. Just being like.
Mary
Oh. Not Dorit being like, I didn't know anything about Shrek. Like, she didn't tell me or Kyle. And then Kyle's like, I knew about.
Nick
Him. I imagine now if you're flying private, you're like, hey, planes waiting for.
Sierra
Me. Oh, I feel like that is one of the most inconsiderate, especially if you didn't charter that flight. I think that's one of the most inconsiderate things you could do because you know that shit's expensive as fuck the.
Mary
Minute. But Gower, the guy Got that AC.
Sierra
Running. I would just.
Nick
Labor. It's not like an all inclusive. This is $30,000 or.
Sierra
Something. Keep going up. But yeah, I think to charter a jet, like, starting at 75,000. So I'm like, you're. You're really telling somebody who charted.
Amanda
It? It was Sutton, right? Sutton did.
Sierra
Allegedly. Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, Sutton may have the money to spare, but that's just not up to Dorit to act that.
Amanda
Way. I know, but it's kind of.
Justin
Like I would have left her.
Mary
Behind. See.
Amanda
You. And see you next Tuesday. In a good.
Sierra
Way. I was gonna say about the time when Kim was late for Adrien's private plane, but it's just like, yeah, that shit cost money, so it's very inconsiderate, and it's just wild behavior. I love Dorit to death, but that's probably my, like, biggest gripe if I were in her friend.
Amanda
Group. Here's what I love about Beverly Hills. Drama over an episode is like someone being late to the private.
Sierra
Plane.
Amanda
Yeah.
Sierra
Yeah. Very different from Salt Lake.
Amanda
City. Yeah, it's.
Nick
Great. Yeah, it's a.
Amanda
Nice. It's like a.
Sierra
Calmer. It's a palate.
Amanda
Cleanser. It's kind of like the.
Sierra
Guilty.
Amanda
Yeah. You know how there's some shows that just, like, wash over your brain warmly and might be what a lobotomy feels like? That's what Beverly Hills is to.
Nick
Me. Well, moving on. The Valley Persian style is.
Amanda
Enjoyable. I like.
Nick
It. It's really, really good. It's. It's such. Such a. Like a change of pace from the. The Valley. Well, I also, like. I love that there's, like, they. It feels more authentic. It feels like a real group of friends. There's a lot of common ground. And, like, it feels like there's like some. I don't know. Nothing really feels.
Justin
Forced.
Sierra
No. I think it's a lot of big personalities, but it's also, like, a bunch of people very comfortable either with themselves or their situations that, like, transparency. Not an issue.
Nick
Here. Like, I relate to the. The dynamic of, like, you got Reza, who's, like, looking out for Gigi, trying to play big brother, talking about, like, her credit and spending problem, and, like, obviously, who wants to be told how to spend money and lectured constantly. Like, I just, like. I eat that.
Greta Teitelman
Up.
Sierra
Yeah. I love that. Gigi admitted that her first paycheck was Shaws of Sunset. I was like, that's.
Amanda
Wild. I. I'm having a lot of fun. I never watched Shaws of Sunset. I know Reza from Like being on Humble Brag one time, loved.
Greta Teitelman
Him.
Amanda
Yeah. And so and MJ obviously just like culturally. No MJ from Traders. So I'm very excited to watch.
Nick
This. What do we know what happened with MJ and her husband and.
Sierra
Reza? It looked like when or I'm not sure if it's giving birth. I know she's sick in the hospital and they had like.
Nick
A. She was.
Sierra
Like. Like a tube and everything. There was like a falling out that happened because their relationships have always been kind of toxic going back and forth. But yeah, he's pissed because Tommy was left with picking up the pieces with MJ and he feels like Reza and Gigi were supposed to be like her brother and sister, no matter how toxic, whatever. And they felt like. He felt like he. They abandoned her in her time of.
Nick
Need. But you show up at his house and kill his.
Sierra
Plants. He apparently came to have an argument with Reza but Reza wasn't there. So that.
Nick
Was. So I'm just gonna like vandalize your property because you didn't show. I don't. I was confused by.
Amanda
That.
Mary
Yeah. We have a rapid recap of the first episode of the Valley Persian style. The Shahs have retired to the Valley. MJ's boobs are like weeds. They grow and they grow. Gol Neza has kids and is divorced and is broke. Reza is calm now that he's married this girl. Sky stole Gol Neza's ring and is now coming to her son's birthday party. She brought the ring, but Gol Neza is thinks it's all kinds of fucked up. MJ's husband Tommy hates Reza and MJ feels like she's caught in the middle. But she does serve in Talladega Nights inspired Fit. Sky and Tanin are besties who love each other almost as much as they hate sleeping in the same beds as their husbands. Sky is also anti moving to the Valley. Reza cracks down on golden as his finances. She spends 4k a month on weed, but that's mandatory. Also her dad has always bankrolled her. Reza wants her on a budget. At Persian Night, MJ tells Golden as that everyone was talking about her debt. As soon as she walks in to see door, this doesn't go well. Gonza ends up leaving. MJ blames.
Sierra
Herself. That was wild.
Nick
Talking. Everyone's talking about.
Sierra
You. Hello. She goes, can I get a drink first? Or what did she.
Mary
Say? She said, can I get kissed before I.
Amanda
Get. Everyone talks about how you're spending too much money on your poor and your kids are Going to like, yeah, don't be.
Justin
Mad. Don't be mad. I think she did the right thing. That's what I would do if, like, my friend walked in. I'd be like, they're all talking about you, by the.
Amanda
Way. No, but she only did it because she wanted to be like, I came to.
Sierra
Her. Bring it.
Justin
Up. M.J. brought it.
Nick
Up. But some of the most triggering things you can just say to someone. Don't get.
Amanda
Mad. Can we talk about your.
Nick
Finances? We need to.
Mary
Talk. Everybody thinks.
Nick
This. Everyone thinks.
Sierra
This. I think it's that too. The idea. It's not so much about like, oh, my. Or like, I was drunk one night, my behavior. It's like you're literally having a full sit down TED talk about my finances that none of you are a part.
Justin
Of. But also, would you rather walk in the room and act like everything's giddy and not know that they all just talked about.
Mary
You? Like, also asking MJ animals Reza for.
Justin
Help?
Mary
Yeah. You know, like, they are involved in her, like, house hunting and this, like, whole thing. It seems like Reza is, like, getting responses back from the people she's trying to rent from or lease from. And they're like, oh, yeah. Oh, wait, no, her credit's too bad. So it seems like they're very much in the middle of it to the point where, like, it would make sense for them to have a conversation, but not at. Not with the entire night. With the entire.
Sierra
Yeah. Like, we were like, hey, before Ganasa gets here and before we start this party, let's all sit down and discuss her finances. Don't be weird. She's walking in right now, out. And then also, you know something's up when you walk into a party of more than 10 people and everyone's silent when you walk.
Greta Teitelman
In.
Mary
Yeah. Like, yeah, I felt like I didn't need to see Jax and his. Him on a date. Like, they kept, like, showing us him and. And Natasha's friend, like, out in the playground and then it was like them, like, canoodling at the T. And I was like, I don't care about this man on a date right.
Sierra
Now. Like, this feels we're trying something. Yeah, we're trying to incorporate him because we don't know him. No, to be fair, I'm like, trying to give him some form of storyline because just retired Playboy, ain't.
Nick
It? Do you think she was into him or into the.
Sierra
Cameras? I.
Mary
Think. I mean, they seem like they'd been together for 10 years sitting at that table. Like, the way that they were, like, wrapped around each.
Amanda
Other. Sometimes people just do.
Mary
That. Sometimes they just love at first.
Sierra
Sight. He did say he was locked in, so, you know, you don't know what he was saying to her all night. By the end of it, there was like.
Amanda
Yes. I've never met someone like.
Justin
You. What about sky and her husband talking about, like, moving. When she said she moved out of the bedroom, that whole. Because that was.
Mary
Awkward. Reza is valid. And being like that is a precursor for divorce. Get back into the bedroom as soon as.
Amanda
Possible. I thought it was really funny that they were like, yeah, these girls are just always together, love hanging.
Nick
Out. The willingness to not respond is.
Mary
Impressive. I mean, that's also just like, I wouldn't have responded either. Like, I'm not gonna have a fight at a table with, like, all these people and these camera. You know, like, Sky's husband being like, her being like, answer it. Answer the.
Justin
Question. That's the part that I'm like.
Mary
Whoa, yeah, like, we can have this discussion at home, you know, like, this doesn't. We don't need to get into.
Justin
It. It's also kind of giving early, like, Valley. Like, the normal Valley show, where, like, I feel like that's where the.
Mary
Couples were, like Michelle and they would just silence each.
Nick
Other. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But to that point, with this being the first episode, it really didn't feel. You know, a lot of these shows that premiere that first episode, it feels like, kind of clunky, you know, a little forced. Other than Gigi forgetting her purse when she stormed off. That was kind of getting.
Amanda
Seen.
Nick
Yeah. It's like, oh, wait.
Sierra
You. I did.
Mary
Notice. You gotta come.
Nick
Back. You gotta come back for that. It felt. I felt like, yeah. Locked in. It felt like we were like.
Amanda
Really? You can tell that they've known, like, at least the core. Like, Reza, mjg.
Sierra
Even. All of them.
Greta Teitelman
Though. Yeah.
Amanda
Yeah. The other ones as.
Sierra
Well. That's how the cast works, is if they actually spend time with each other, that we're not filling in the blanks. Even Ganessa and Sky having that issue with the ring, it kind of brings us in because it's like, oh, they've had some long standing. It's been a couple months since you've given back the ring. But that it's like, we understand where. Where everybody stands with each other. It's not these, like, awkward strangers.
Amanda
Being like, hi, we're picking up with drama.
Nick
Already. I appreciate Sky. The. Sky's the.
Sierra
Jeweler. Sky's the.
Nick
Jeweler. Yeah. I appreciate her being like, yeah, I mean, sure, I can fix it, but I don't want.
Sierra
To. That was.
Nick
So. I.
Mary
Don'T. Yeah. Her being like, I don't do repairs. I make my own fine.
Nick
Jewelry. She's like, well, you better. You know how to do it. She was like, I know how to mow a lawn, but I still pay someone to do it for.
Mary
Me. Thank.
Sierra
You. I agree with that.
Mary
Too. And how did she see, as the ring's going on, that they're gold? She's like, she just painted this.
Sierra
Gold. It's like, what I was thinking. Also, Ganessa is just the queen of Shady Shady. Sometimes even very, very.
Mary
Mean.
Sierra
Yeah. Commentary. So I'm kind of like, coming for her. Business not great, but I'm like, she just had to sneak that in there because I didn't see anything wrong with it from the before and after. I was like, yeah. Are you saying that the gems are fake? Like, I don't understand what the issue.
Amanda
Is. It was just like, I'm gonna have a problem with you.
Sierra
Whatever. We'll move.
Amanda
On. But no, I'm gonna be pissed about it, but let's gab. I really like, like, Sky. I do.
Justin
Too.
Amanda
Yeah. I think she's great. And you know why I really with her, she's like, I'm not moving to the Valley. I'm going to be on the Valley Persian style. But I. You will not catch me in that zip.
Mary
Code.
Amanda
Literally. Which I think is.
Mary
Awesome.
Amanda
Challenges. Yeah. As someone who doesn't want to retire to the Valley, well, that will.
Nick
