[Emily]

You're crazy.

[Nick]

What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another exciting episode of the Wild Files Reality Recap edition. I'm your host, Nick, and boy, we got a lot to get into. Sierra said I looked tired this morning.

[Sierra]

Really?

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Justin]

I did ask her. I was like, was that an intrusive thought? Like, did you mean to say that?

[Nick]

She's like. And then she goes, you look tired. And I was like, well, fuck me.

[Garrett]

It was actually way worse than that because I started talking about my weekend. And then he just like looked up, but, like, looked a little tired. And I was just like, I'm not used to it. So it just, it jarred me.

[Justin]

And I was like, it's very early right now.

[Garrett]

You look really tired. And I was like, early, Justin. Not nice.

[Justin]

Most people are not up by now.

[Sierra]

Same time as it always is when.

[Justin]

We record, but most people are not up by 8 o'clock.

[Nick]

Who are most people?

[Justin]

Most Americans that I talk to out.

[Taylor]

There know about that.

[Sierra]

Well, we do. I mean, Nick gets up early with River. She wakes up, she starts yapping in her crib at like 5am thank you. And yeah, thank you, Nana. And we listen to it.

[Nick]

And she plays by herself in the crib now and you can hear her talk to herself.

[Justin]

Does she sleep with toys or is it like a mobile?

[Sierra]

I like to put a new stuffed animal in her crib every night. So when she wakes up, it's like a surprise. There's a different stuffed animal.

[Justin]

So she's in the stuffed animal phase.

[Sierra]

Does she have a favoring? We're entering it. She does have a favorite, and it's so funny because.

[Nick]

Is it the avocado one?

[Sierra]

No, she hate. She does not love the avocado one.

[Justin]

She's not an LA girly.

[Taylor]

No.

[Sierra]

But she does love this giraffe that I got her in Nashville. And I was like, river, do you want this? And she paid zero attention to it. And my sister was like, she does want it. And so now she actually. My sister bought it, not me. But Amanda got her the stuffed animal, and she could not care less about this giraffe at all. Hated it, would not look at it. Would not play with it. And now obsessed giraffes are an easy.

[Justin]

To find, like, kid subject, if that makes sense. Like, because when I was a little kid, I loved dinosaurs, and you could not find it anywhere. But giraffes you can find everywhere. So that's a good thing.

[Sierra]

Really?

[Justin]

Now you can. No, now you can find dinosaurs, but back then, you couldn't.

[Sierra]

Oh, interesting.

[Justin]

From my experience. Anyways.

[Sierra]

From my experience. Okay, Interesting. Didn't know. I'm so sorry you went through that.

[Justin]

Thank you. But giraffes are easy to find. Like any zoo. Giraffe, Teddy bear. No.

[Sierra]

Perfect.

[Nick]

Yes.

[Emily]

Maybe.

[Nick]

Do I look tired?

[Justin]

I don't think so.

[Sierra]

I don't think you look tired.

[Garrett]

You've woken up since.

[Sierra]

Oh, yeah. Sierra's like, after I put that concealer under your eyes. You look great.

[Garrett]

A little hyaluronic acid. You're good.

[Emily]

Go.

[Nick]

Yeah, no, like, Sierra did a whole makeup routine after some eyeliner.

[Garrett]

You're welcome.

[Sierra]

Well, we did have a crazy Saturday night because we took Joan's advice, and we are now doing Saturday night date nights.

[Garrett]

Cute.

[Sierra]

Every Saturday night, we're two for two. We are two for two.

[Garrett]

Who made the reservation?

[Nick]

Well, cute story.

[Sierra]

Cute story. Cute, cute story.

[Nick]

Because last week we were like, let's do this. And then Natalie and I are not good planners. We neither of us. You know, usually you want to, like, marry someone who's, like, the things you're not good at, they are, and vice versa. And we've gotten pretty lucky with some of that stuff. But when it comes to planning, Natalie and I, neither of us big planners. Anyways, so last week, we're like. It was like, Saturday at 5. We're like, we should do this. And then we're like, oh, where do we go? And then we, you know, didn't really have reservations. And we still had a great night.

[Sierra]

But we stood around for like maybe close to two hours.

[Garrett]

Yeah.

[Sierra]

Anyways, at the bar. But we were drinking.

[Justin]

So you just rolled up. We just rolled up.

[Sierra]

What's the wait like for two? They're like, that's going to be two hours.

[Justin]

Wait, where did you go?

[Sierra]

South Beverly Grill.

[Justin]

Oh, maybe you said Beverly Hills.

[Nick]

Anyways, so this week now, I was like, we have to start taking turns planning. Planning.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Nick]

And I said, okay, we did not designate which person's turn it was. And so I got done with work and I said, we have an 8:30 reservation. And she goes, I got us a 9:00 reservation.

[Justin]

Oh, you both got reservations.

[Nick]

We both took the initiative.

[Sierra]

And so I can't cancel the 9 o'clock. That's way too late to eat dinner. But my favorite trick is you still make a reservation no matter what time it is. And then you go to the restaurant.

[Justin]

At show up early.

[Sierra]

And you're like, we have a reservation at 9. But like, we just, you know, got here a little early. Can you squeeze?

[Justin]

I have to get back to my child. She's sleeping.

[Sierra]

Yeah. And listen, back in my hostess days, I would have set you.

[Nick]

Would you?

[Sierra]

I would have, yes.

[Nick]

Do you. Do you skip lines ever?

[Sierra]

What do you mean skip lines?

[Nick]

Do you skip lines?

[Sierra]

Do I skip lines?

[Justin]

Define skip lines.

[Sierra]

Like at a park or flying at.

[Nick]

A park to board a plane.

[Sierra]

Like a theme park.

[Garrett]

Oh, okay.

[Justin]

Like as a mother, you're saying no.

[Nick]

Just as a human.

[Sierra]

This just came out of nowhere, this question of, like, skipping. We're. Cause we were.

[Nick]

Well, I saw this. Not even. We didn't even. We just have. We didn't even have this in household headlines. But apparently the airlines are testing a new system to sound an alarm if you board before your designated group.

[Justin]

I thought they do that already.

[Garrett]

No, I love that I scare you into it.

[Taylor]

I agree with Leia. I love that.

[Garrett]

I do too.

[Justin]

I'm less will do this. Southwest does it. If you try to go up early, they'll be like, no, no, no, no. It's not your turn and you have to wait till the next cycle.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Taylor]

They were like, you are paying $25 for early bird check in or we will kill you.

[Garrett]

Yeah, it's honestly one of my favorites.

[Sierra]

There's nothing that makes me happier than somebody getting caught doing something.

[Nick]

Why? Why? I mean, that's fine. But like, listen, it's the Karen in you we are, we are guy priority. I'm just saying, like, this is an elitist rule.

[Garrett]

I don't think so. It's one of the most irritating things when you're trying to get on the plane and then everybody gets up and is just standing.

[Taylor]

Because in an airport, everybo. As if their brain has magically exited their body.

[Nick]

It's a lawless land. Who here stands up?

[Garrett]

Absolutely not.

[Taylor]

No, no. I am sitting my ass down until it is my turn to get up.

[Sierra]

Wait a second.

[Taylor]

I'm not dumb.

[Sierra]

Wait a second, Wait a second. If you are on the aisle.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Sierra]

You immediately get the fuck up. Immediately stand up. Because we've been sitting for forever. I need space. You've got to get up. You have to get away from me.

[Taylor]

Wait, what are we, what are we talking about before we get off?

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Nick]

No, no, the plane lands.

[Sierra]

Yes, the plane lands and the, the no.

[Nick]

And then we, we get to the gate.

[Taylor]

Oh, I'm up.

[Justin]

You guys are.

[Nick]

You stand up for no reason. And you do this.

[Emily]

You do this. I'm standing.

[Sierra]

No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, you can't. If you're window or, or middle, you can't stand.

[Taylor]

Here's what I do. I typically fly the cheapest possible option possible. And usually that means I am in the back of the plane. And sometimes I'll be in the middle sometime, you know, who's let go and let go, you know. And so what happens is that everybody is standing up. I'm sitting there chilling. But there is an event where if I'm in the aisle, I can scoot out.

[Sierra]

Exactly.

[Taylor]

And if I can scoot out, I'll scoot out and then just let it go. But in general, no, I'm sitting and people get really intense and it's like, what can you do? You are truly in a place where you have no power whatsoever. Just let that wash over you.

[Justin]

People that stand. People that stand are creating the stress in the plane. Yeah, because you guys are like being like, we need to go. Let me stand.

[Taylor]

It's like minutes to get their stupid carry on bag into the aisle. And I'm like, you need to have an exit strategy. If you don't go out of a plane with an exit strategy, you're dead to me.

[Sierra]

But we have. We've been sitting for five hours. You know those people whose luggage is like, not where they sat too, and they just cause mayhem on the airplane.

[Justin]

They forced their way through just to get back.

[Nick]

Well, kind of. I mean, like. But like, there's no. The flow always goes Forward. And if you got stuck, if, like, the flight attendant, like, just took your bag and threw it 20, like, rows back, you're kind of panicked.

[Justin]

But isn't that your fault for coming?

[Taylor]

You just have to wait for everybody else to get off the plane and then you go back like a normal person.

[Justin]

If you came early, your thing would be above your head. Right?

[Taylor]

We're all inherently victims on a plane.

[Nick]

No, I know. That's what I'm saying. I think it's great. I'm just saying, unless you're in first class also.

[Garrett]

One of the smarter things that I've seen somebody do is while they were going through the front of the plane, they were like, hey, can I put my bag on? Just putting the bag up towards the front of the plane as you go backwards, and then when you're coming off the plane, grab your bag as you're leaving.

[Emily]

That's a ripple effect for a disaster.

[Sierra]

Why?

[Justin]

Because then everybody in the front doesn't have a spot.

[Garrett]

That's not true. Everybody's already seated in the front. So whatever's open in the overhead compartment is available.

[Nick]

But the rules of an airline or just air travel in general is definitely, like, an elitist thing to do, 100%. It's like an elitist class.

[Sierra]

I think it causes the biggest arguments in. I think it's honestly worse than politics. Get people going about what they do on airplanes, and people get riled up.

[Nick]

It's like the Titanic. All the rich people I got early exit, your early entrance. They get catered. You ever fly to Delta 1 in LA? It is. You are like. You're dealing. Like, you're treated like. Like the king and queen. And then, like, all the normies are just like, well, someday you will marry. Someday you will.

[Garrett]

Delta One has its own entrance supply.

[Sierra]

In spirit that you don't have to.

[Garrett]

Go to normal security, just normal Delta.

[Nick]

And I'm just saying, I think it's hilarious for all the. And when they start, like, the alarms going off for the people who just want to get on a little bit early so their bags aren't thrown in the back and, like. And everyone wants to shame them. I think it's kind of like I.

[Justin]

Am doing Delta for the first time in two weeks for Thanksgiving, thanks to you guys.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Justin]

Because you guys, we're Delta.

[Taylor]

You love Delta.

[Nick]

We love Delta. Yeah.

[Justin]

I made it sound like you're paying for it.

[Taylor]

I have gone Delta. Now that we do pay for our flights, I realized that I wasn't, like, saving that much money by flying Southwest To Florida. So now I've started because I have to do connecting flights in Southwest, but I can get a direct flight through Delta.

[Justin]

Delta, you can choose your seat. I found that out because Southwest, it's a free for all. Like, yeah, that.

[Taylor]

I just like the two free bags.

[Emily]

The only airline that does that.

[Nick]

Free is expensive. Free is expensive.

[Justin]

You know what?

[Sierra]

We could argue about this for hours.

[Nick]

I know. Well, later this episode, we got the hilarious Ego Wodom from snl. Can't wait to talk with her. All right, now it's time for Vibes versus Stats. But before we get to our scores, you got to remember that this Vibes or stats segment of the Vile Files is brought to you by Wonderful Pistachios. Wonderful Pistachios. No shells.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Nick]

So, Mary, how did we do?

[Taylor]

You know, we actually both did.

[Emily]

All right.

[Nick]

Okay.

[Taylor]

Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Game one, Eagles at Cowboys. We have. The Eagles won.

[Sierra]

We picked the Cowboys.

[Justin]

Yeah, we did the Cowboys.

[Sierra]

Someone did DM me and they were like, you have to stop picking the Cowboys. Like, you'll pick them every time and.

[Justin]

You have to dance.

[Taylor]

It's almost as if I have been trying to manipulate everybody into hating the Cowboys as much as me this entire time.

[Sierra]

Is that you that DM me?

[Taylor]

I have burners. I have burners.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Taylor]

So we lost that in Vibes. Eagles did demolish the Cowboys, like 34 to 6.

[Sierra]

Brutal.

[Justin]

But we won the other one.

[Taylor]

We did the. The Vikings did beat the Jaguars, so. So it's one in one. Vibes. Vibes is currently.

[Sierra]

We don't need to say it.

[Taylor]

7 and 13.

[Sierra]

Thank you.

[Taylor]

I think we need to hear it.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Taylor]

And knowledge is 11 and 8.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Justin]

So 7, 13. It's not too bad, you know.

[Nick]

You know, speaking of vibes, though, we can we give a shout out for this weekend's super vibe hero, Ricky Persol. I believe I'm saying his name correctly. I apologize, Ricky, if I'm not. Do you know who Ricky Purcell is? Ricky is a rookie for the San Francisco 49ers Ricky Rook. Yeah. And like three weeks before the season started, I don't know, maybe like a week somewhere before the season started, Ricky was walking the streets of San Francisco and encountered a crime. He intervened in said crime and was. And was shot twice.

[Sierra]

What? Whoa. The rookie was through the chest, in the heart.

[Nick]

No, he's still alive. He survived. And he scored his first touchdown over the weekend. That's so good. Now. Motherfucker came back. He's a hero. Wait, we should get Ricky on the show.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Justin]

Shot and then still twice, I believe.

[Nick]

Twice. Definitely once. Yes.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Look it up. It's crazy.

[Taylor]

If I got shot, I'd take the ear off, Right?

[Nick]

He literally was. He. He was. He's a literal hero. Got shot, recovered, and is now back scoring touchdowns for the San Francisco.

[Garrett]

He was shot through the chest and through the chest. And shot in the arm.

[Nick]

And the arm twice.

[Taylor]

Man, that's tough. Do you think he's got that dog in him?

[Sierra]

Do you think the arm he used to make the touchdown was the shot arm?

[Justin]

I don't know, but that's some next level.

[Nick]

That's some next level vibes, Ricky.

[Taylor]

Don't lose that number.

[Nick]

Let's give it. Yeah, there we go.

[Emily]

Can we get into some household headlines?

[Garrett]

Yes, please.

[Nick]

What's going on in the news?

[Justin]

Did you see Ray Gun is not retiring.

[Emily]

Who?

[Justin]

Ray Gun, the Australian breakdancer.

[Taylor]

Australian breakdancer Raegun, who scammed her way.

[Justin]

Into the Olympics because last week it.

[Nick]

Was a headline, who never. Who. Who never was breakdancing? Well, she was, but now she's not. Not break dancing.

[Garrett]

Well, she said she's gonna still do community jams. I'm still gonna get down. But in terms of those elite competitions and the Olympics, which, by the way, breaking's not even in the Olympics.

[Nick]

I don't anymore.

[Garrett]

Because of her, I don't really see myself competing. It's not me that's retiring, it's Ray Hadley.

[Justin]

And for context, last week we talked about this on Pop, but last week there was a headline of Ray Guns retiring. And the whole bit has been, she's got breakdancing removed from the Olympics.

[Nick]

That's not a bit. It's true.

[Sierra]

It's facts.

[Nick]

It's what happened.

[Justin]

She gave it a lot of publicity.

[Sierra]

She also made it kind of laughable, which I feel like that's, like, one thing you don't want to do to an Olympic sport is make a mockery of it.

[Nick]

And there's, like, all these videos of Australian kids being awesome at breakdancing. Who will never be able to pursue their dream because Ray Gun thought of Ray Gun.

[Justin]

Yeah, I guess so.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Justin]

Well, Whoopi Goldberg also announced she has plans to launch an all women sports network.

[Nick]

All right, pop off, Whoopi.

[Taylor]

Thank you, Mama.

[Justin]

I need a Sister Act 3 before this happens again.

[Taylor]

Sister Act 3 will be held on the court. The nuns are playing basketball.

[Nick]

I want to leave. I want a team of just nuns.

[Justin]

That I would love to.

[Taylor]

The WNBA do it. They're that powerful.

[Nick]

Yeah, yeah.

[Justin]

They would raise a lot of money.

[Nick]

Sister Act 1 or 2. Which one's better?

[Taylor]

Who.

[Sierra]

Who is your favorite Sister growing up?

[Nick]

I grew up around a lot of nuns. I know. Who's your Sister? Teresa? More Monica. I don't know. There was a Sister Monica I grew up on.

[Sierra]

Are you making names up?

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Sierra]

Okay.

[Nick]

But I. I don't remember their names.

[Justin]

Sister Arc one is a classic.

[Taylor]

There should be a housewives with nuns.

[Justin]

No, they could never, though.

[Taylor]

I know.

[Justin]

Secret lies of Nun. Why?

[Taylor]

I mean, they made the Sound of Music, so that's.

[Nick]

Have you seen it? Who hasn't seen the Sound of Music?

[Justin]

I've seen sound of music. 13 going on 30. Yeah.

[Garrett]

Like a rite of 16 going on 7.

[Justin]

16 going on 7.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Emily]

You gotta watch Sound of Music.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Justin]

Okay, But Sister Act 2, Gwyneth Paltrow transitioning us here needs to watch Sister act because. So she had her like intermittent fasting diet that like took the world of like bone broth and apples or whatever it was.

[Nick]

Yes, yes.

[Sierra]

That's her daughter's name.

[Justin]

Bone broth.

[Taylor]

Apple Bone broth would be such a beautiful name for the baby girl.

[Justin]

I was like, which one could have.

[Sierra]

Been either one with Gwyneth Paltrow.

[Emily]

Right.

[Justin]

The thing is, she's making headlines now because she was seen in New York City chowing down on a steak and ice cream off of. She like took the world being like, only eat this well, but it was.

[Nick]

Like, you know, it was a diet. Diets are meant to be broken, you know, it was a.

[Justin]

Intermittent fasting, but wouldn't you think your body can't handle. This is my own brain. She's eating nothing and she's going to eating a steak.

[Sierra]

She might have a little bit of a tummy ache.

[Garrett]

It's a Wagyu French dip sandwich.

[Sierra]

Ooh.

[Garrett]

Classic sea salt fries and a Samoa sundae. I mean, it sounds fantastic.

[Taylor]

Do you think Gwen Paltrow would go to Canters with me?

[Nick]

What's Canters?

[Emily]

Oh, my God.

[Taylor]

Cantors Deli.

[Emily]

What?

[Justin]

Wait, we tried Canters on the way back from Coachella when we shot.

[Nick]

Sorry.

[Emily]

No, we didn't.

[Garrett]

No, we didn't.

[Justin]

Oh, wait, what's.

[Nick]

I don't know. What? Cantro.

[Justin]

I don't know.

[Taylor]

Oh, my God.

[Sierra]

This is a place on Fairfax.

[Emily]

It's delicious. It's an old school diner.

[Sierra]

You gotta try it.

[Nick]

This is the one across the street from John and Vinnie's.

[Taylor]

Kind of. Yeah, yeah.

[Sierra]

Yes.

[Taylor]

Oh, yeah. It's by the complex that's here.

[Nick]

Or is it just famous? Is it more good than famous?

[Taylor]

I love it.

[Justin]

Do they have breakfast?

[Taylor]

Yes, because the diner. I was there on Friday. Matzobel soup is delicious there. I got the pastrami dip. I had a great time.

[Nick]

All right.

[Justin]

I do want to smell Gwyneth Paltrow's vagina candle.

[Sierra]

What do you think it smells like?

[Justin]

Well, her vagina is what it's supposed to smell like.

[Sierra]

Hers personally.

[Justin]

The whole thing was. It was her vagina.

[Sierra]

Wow.

[Justin]

Like what? I don't know. My own curiosity. And it was exploding and that's why, like, people stopped buying it.

[Sierra]

But it was exploding.

[Justin]

You didn't know this?

[Sierra]

She was literally popping her.

[Emily]

She said that?

[Taylor]

Pussy fire.

[Sierra]

That's crazy. Honestly, what do you want for Christmas? Like my own vagina candle?

[Nick]

Sure. Yeah.

[Garrett]

Be a little bit more enthusiastic.

[Nick]

Oh, my God. Yeah.

[Sierra]

He sounds like he hated that.

[Nick]

Do I though?

[Sierra]

He was like. Of your vagina? No, I was hoping Gwyneth's. I want nothing to do with curious.

[Nick]

Could I win with that reaction?

[Justin]

Could you win in any reaction?

[Nick]

Yeah. Oh, my God. That's all I've ever wanted. You're gross.

[Sierra]

Maybe.

[Nick]

I'm just saying.

[Garrett]

Let's dread.

[Emily]

Maybe.

[Nick]

Is that. Would we. Would we light your vagina candle? Like after date night?

[Sierra]

I think we'd, like, probably light it.

[Justin]

What's the occasion?

[Sierra]

I feel like it's like an all around. Like, you're having coffee, like, light it up.

[Justin]

Christmas apple cider with vagina, obviously.

[Sierra]

Well, it obviously depends on what scent we're going with.

[Justin]

Right.

[Nick]

And when your mom's in, is it.

[Sierra]

How balance is my ph. Yeah.

[Emily]

Which time of the month?

[Taylor]

There's like a slight irony. There's like a.

[Nick]

What if there's a candle that, like, changes sense throughout the month?

[Justin]

I have no response.

[Taylor]

There's just like a layer of, like, red. And then you're like.

[Nick]

You light it. You're like, it's time.

[Justin]

Okay, wait. Also on like, a weird scenario. So the official Mattel Wicked dolls. Have you seen this?

[Sierra]

No.

[Justin]

So they had like. And this is like, The Barbie doll versions of Glinda and Elphaba. They released the dolls and on the packaging it says, visit www.wicked.com. when you visit wicked.com, it takes you to a porn site. And these are kids toys.

[Garrett]

And the actual website is wicked movie.com.

[Justin]

But on the packaging.

[Nick]

How do you fuck that up? I don't know. I feel like that's not. I feel like that's not. How many. How many fucking decision makers? You know, one thing I know about corporate America, they have a lot of meetings, and often they have more meetings than they even need. And there's usually like a several approval steps ever. Like, so how does something like this get by without it being intentional?

[Justin]

Well, don't they usually say less people. Don't they say less people, like, actually approve it than you think do?

[Emily]

Maybe.

[Justin]

So, like, we think it's five, but it's actually two or whatever.

[Nick]

I don't know.

[Justin]

But still, nobody thought to type.

[Nick]

No one looked.

[Justin]

Or maybe someone did.

[Nick]

Or maybe someone did.

[Justin]

This happens pretty often where kid toys are, like, protect. Like, there was that one kid toy, like, two years ago where it was, like, moaning and, like, saying sexual stuff. Like, now we have this.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Justin]

It is interesting for these dolls, though, because it's like you would think they would have just scrapped all of the dolls or just bought the domain so that you couldn't, like, go to a porn site.

[Nick]

Yeah, you'd think so.

[Sierra]

And they haven't done anything.

[Justin]

No, I looked it up last night. I was like, let me see.

[Nick]

Kids are still.

[Sierra]

How was the rest of your night?

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Taylor]

Was it like. Was it a good site?

[Justin]

It wasn't my kind of content, so.

[Taylor]

Oh, okay.

[Justin]

It's woman on woman.

[Sierra]

Oh, that's my kind of shit.

[Taylor]

That makes sense for Wicked.

[Justin]

Oh, yeah, that's true. It does.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Justin]

Fun theme.

[Nick]

It's so intentional.

[Taylor]

Something has changed within me.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Garrett]

Something is not the same.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Nick]

So are you saying it was?

[Justin]

I'm not that girl.

[Nick]

Are we a. Are we starting a conspiracy?

[Garrett]

They did make a statement, and it says, toy manufacturer Mattel has said it deeply regrets a misprint on packaging for dolls inspired by the Wicked movie. And they have recommended. Recommended that you throw away the packaging for the dolls.

[Sierra]

Yes, throw it away. It was.

[Garrett]

We deeply regret this unfortunate error and are taking immediate action to remedy this.

[Sierra]

I will say anytime that I did get a Barbie. I mean, the packaging was immediately ripped and I was not looking, reading every word on the packaging. I was getting the Barbie out.

[Taylor]

Here's the thing. Also, do the kids Even look up website domains anymore. They're just going to the app.

[Justin]

This website, you can tell, is for like a Karen. Like, if there's a case where Karen's complaining about the doll, to your point. But imagine Karen going to now this porn site. She's mad.

[Sierra]

Oh, she's pissed.

[Taylor]

That's what she deserves, maybe.

[Nick]

So is it the website there to calm Karen down?

[Justin]

Maybe it's like a derail her.

[Taylor]

Yeah, like she forgets, like, oh, oh, hey, maybe try chilling out.

[Justin]

Speaking of content, did you see that Paul Mescal? So he was in Normal People and now he's in Gladiator 2. He basically compared content and, like, films to two different things. Basically saying over the last few years, people have been talking about films as content. That's a filthy word. It's not content, it's fucking work.

[Nick]

Well, work is content.

[Justin]

And basically he's kind of drawing the dichotomy between, like, he's an elitist influencers and like, actors.

[Taylor]

I don't think it's an elitist to value art as art.

[Nick]

Yeah, but who is to decide what is art or work? Because he's not even talking about art. He's talking about work.

[Justin]

He's just being snobby is what it is. Because it's like you're saying that Instagram art or like, art that's not in a theater is not art.

[Sierra]

Well, he calls it a filthy.

[Garrett]

Yeah, there's people that make really great quality content that might as well be in theaters on social media. And that's pretty much saying that because they do it at home or because they're not like that and they are getting paid to do it. It is their job. So I'm like, however, like, I don't know. I don't think you can compare what is content versus because the way that he's saying it, he's talking about, like, get ready with me or like, something as if, like, trying to cheapen it. Where I'm like, there are people who make amazing content that, like, you're never going to see in a movie theater.

[Nick]

Also, the meaning of content has drastically changed over the past year or two. I mean, just like, like the way we are creating content and making content and we as a people, like people can now have more ownership in their content. You can make whatever they want. You know, before you didn't. You weren't able to do that. You know, you would never be able to make your own content. You'd have to be approved by a corporation or like a studio or now now, you don't need a studio's permission to create content like this show, you know, for example.

[Garrett]

And also, like, you can consider whatever you do art, and nobody can take that from you. Just because their terminology of content versus yours is art, that it's all the same thing.

[Nick]

I just want you guys to know that when I was taking my shirt off and making Bob Ross photos and paintings and roller skating, that was fucking work. It was work.

[Garrett]

Or was it art?

[Nick]

He was working and art. It was both art and work.

[Sierra]

I think we should move on to what has taken the Internet by absolute storm, which is Zach Bryan and Brianna Laglia. This is the crazy. I mean, like, her. Her. Her speaking out about this. First of all, props.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Sierra]

I mean, it's like, it's one thing to talk to your friends and your family, but to go on a massive platform and to share your experience about someone that a lot of people love and you know you're gonna get a lot of backlash for it is incredibly strong. It's incredibly brave. And I do just want to, like, hats off to Brianna for being able to do that, because that's scary, given.

[Nick]

The details of the story. It.

[Sierra]

So Brianna finally opens up about her relationship with Zach and kind of starts it off by saying that he. Well, I guess Dave Portnoy really is the one who outed the number. But he wanted her to sign an NDA, and he was going to, over the span of several years, give her $12 million. $12 million to sign this NDA. And she went back and forth. Obviously, that's life changing money. That's, you know, that is hard. That's a lot of money. And, you know, and I think she said, you know, even Dave Portnoy, who is an incredible businessman, I mean, hello. He was like, maybe you should take the money. And she finally decided that she wasn't going to. She got on her podcast and explained a lot of stuff that happened in their relationship. A few things being, you know, he had issues with a dress she wore to the Golden Globes. He, you know, would tell her, you know, she can't wear stuff like that. She needed to change. He didn't like it. But then he would post on social media the photo of her and be like, God, she's so beautiful. So Brianna sitting at home being like, I thought you were mad at me. I thought you hated this. But then, no, you're telling the world you like it. So it was a lot of, like, back and forth. She said he would really build her up super, super high. Just to tear her down immediately.

[Garrett]

Didn't he unfollow her after that too?

[Sierra]

He unfollowed her after that.

[Emily]

It was just like one of those.

[Nick]

Like the more she talked, the more you, like, she painted a very clear picture of like a very kind of. I think sadly, a classic story of unfortunately, everybody.

[Garrett]

I think while you're watching it, like a name pops up in your head.

[Nick]

That'S like the very toxic, jealous kind of partner who is kind of very emotionally abusive and just kind of like.

[Justin]

You know, what I remember is that she said he would like throw her phone across the room and that's why it was shattered. And then she did use the word abuse.

[Sierra]

Yes, she said that he emotionally abused her.

[Nick]

Well, when you, like when she, you know, if anyone's seen a picture of the dress she wore, the Golden Globes, I mean, she looked lovely. It was a very, I mean, everyone has an opinion on what is conservative or scandalous or provocative. But like, I think for the average person, it was just a lovely gown that she was wearing. And then you hear him, you hear her talk about how he essentially slut shaming her, telling her what type of energy he thinks she's putting off by wearing said dress. And then again, the kind of the psychological, you know, the. He's like an emotional terrorist. When you, like, you tell her she's doing one thing and then he, you know, does another thing. Public facing. And it's just like, you don't know how to be around these types of people because they're just constantly fucking with your mind and your emotions, robbing you of your joy.

[Garrett]

When she was talking about the tour and how she was on tour with him for months at a. They scheduled her podcast tour. She was like, I was isolated, alone, I had no friends, I didn't know these people. But staying by her dude, the second that she gets her podcast tour up and going, he's sending her text messages, breaking up or not responding to her booking a pop up show just to like fuck with her, and then breaks up with her while she's trying to work. So she's devastated on the other side of the country. And it's like you can't pick up your phone, you can't FaceTime, you can't. But he's playing a game.

[Sierra]

It's also like, she went through so much of this while being trapped on a tour bus. It feels so sad and so scary that, like, she just never knew what version of her boyfriend was gonna like walk into her tiny tour bus. Like, she had no idea what version she was going to get. You know, I think the last time she saw him, he was like, I gotta go back home. Like, I gotta get out of here. I gotta go. And she was like, okay, I get it, you know, can I have a hug? And he was like, no, and left. And she. She hasn't seen him since. And then when all of this, they broke up, he was like, listen, like, whatever you need. She was like, I want a week to just process this before, like, we have to. Before the world finds out and I have to deal with it, with the world. And then he gets caught on Raya. And so he posts a statement saying that they're broken up so he didn't come off as a cheater. And she said that she called him and was like, dude, seriously, like, you made a dating account? And he said, I didn't make a dating account. I reactivated it. Which, like, just pissed me off so bad that, like, that was his response. It's like, that's what you have to say when, like, I don't know. It's just so sad. And then I feel like the part that really breaks my heart is in. In this entire podcast, the. The TikTok, she's made following, she makes it a very large point to take fault. And she's very much like, you know, I stayed in this relationship and I stuck around, and I blame myself for this. And I think that that is what's so sad, because so many of us in those situations blame ourselves and take the fault. And I think we're wired to do that because our partner. Nothing's ever their fault, right? And it's like, you work so hard and you fight so hard to stay in a relationship because you have to, like, fight for every inch of validation and every inch of, like, love from this person that when it gets bad, you're like, I should leave. But then you're like, well, I fought so hard. Like, why would I just give this up? Like, I've done everything. And so I think her blaming herself is just so heartbreaking. And, like, if anyone is in those situations, it's not your fault. And, like, while those things may be true, while she might have stayed when she shouldn't have, whatever, I think we can all say that we've done that. It's like, it's not your fault. It's. It's the abuser's fault. It's the person who isn't treating you right's fault. And it just, like, makes me sad that these women are just, like, blaming Themselves.

[Garrett]

But also, thank God that she is saying something because at the end of the day, like you are letting us know something about somebody who the next girl would be so excited to fill your shoes.

[Sierra]

Totally.

[Garrett]

And it's like, that is something that like we need to do to protect each other.

[Sierra]

And I also want to like the women before him. I've seen them get so much hate right now because they're like, why would they take the money? Like, you've got to talk about this. Like we're. And it's like, I don't know what he offered his previous relationships. I don't know what he's offered. I've seen some people be like, I signed to NDA for nothing. Like what? I'm a clown, you know? And it's like Brianna is in a, in a position where she is lucky enough to say no to this money and she said that herself. And it's like to bash these women for taking money because they're not like.

[Nick]

Not what's, what's their choice between a million dollars or seven figures or being hated on by his entire audience. It's like I could tell the truth and then no one could believe me and his entire fan base can crucify me or I can just take, take amount of money I may never see my entire life and have peace of mind and then go get therapy. Like, and then people want to judge people for that. You.

[Garrett]

No, it's wild.

[Nick]

You know, like it is. Yeah.

[Justin]

Well, and the interesting part too is that people started claiming then that Brianna was paid 10 million by Dave Portnoy to like do a tell all and.

[Sierra]

She'S already come out and been like, that's not true.

[Justin]

Yeah. And it's just like there's no winning.

[Nick]

Even if that were true. Good for Dave.

[Justin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Nick]

He's worth.

[Justin]

To Sierra's point, you're protecting others in the future by coming out and saying something.

[Nick]

So also like, Zach Bryan, how stupid are you? He's so bad. And so like, I mean this man didn't even think knowing he has a history of this type of behavior. He's already allegedly had exes sign an NDA. So he has a history of knowing that he's dating. You know he does. He's like, his thing apparently is to date women be fucking shitty and then get them to sign this NDA. And then he decided to date Brianna Chicken Fry, whose like best friend and co host is Dave Portnoy. You say a lot of things about Dave Portnoy, but he likes to protect his Friends. And then Zach. Bryan, just like, the way he. I. It's just like, how sloppy and stupid. I don't know.

[Garrett]

He thinks he's untouchable.

[Nick]

Yeah. Maybe It's. It's. How arrogant do you think you are?

[Sierra]

I also do think. And she. You know, when you're in these relationships. And I can speak from experience. I think a lot of women can speak from experience of where it's just. Just. And Brianna said it's like she wasn't herself. And I think, you know, she got a lot of hate for a lot of things she said recently. And it's clear she was going through a lot. It's clear she was under a lot of pressure. And it's like, while I don't make excuses for those things, it's clear there was something going on that. Where she wasn't in her right mind and she wasn't thinking clearly. And it's like a lot of people turned on her to then find out that, like, oh, this is what was happening behind the scenes.

[Garrett]

Like, I think she even said it was projection. Yeah, she was like, I was clearly projecting.

[Sierra]

Yeah. And I think also the 12 million, you know, I don't know. She said they recorded each other a lot. You know, I don't know if that is what he's trying to protect of, like, I don't want these videos to get out. I honestly think he cares more about people not knowing the truth behind his songs. Thank you. Yeah, Like, I think that people.

[Emily]

He.

[Sierra]

He cares more about people being able to, like, sing his songs and relate to his songs and not know anything that's gone on behind the scenes and just be like, oh, he's such a magical.

[Nick]

So when he sings songs like, I'm gonna let you down and I'm gonna act a certain way, when you listen to the song, it's more like, oh, you know, he's trying his best to be a good guy, but he's just gonna let you down. And, boy, ain't that the truth, you know? What a God. Oh, shucks. You know, he's just gonna drink a little too much and have. And we listen to it being like, ah, we so relatable, you know, like. But the truth is he's a monster her, you know?

[Justin]

Yeah. Well, I mean, and to give, like, the listeners more context, like, there was something that Brianna said where, like, she was singing a Morgan Wallen song, and then he, like, wouldn't talk to her.

[Sierra]

I think that just shows he.

[Nick]

And I think another piece of shit. By the way, a Lot of these guys are horrible fucking people. And there's a. Yeah, chances are your favorite celebrity, 50%, they're monsters. Some of them are great people and a lot of them aren't.

[Sierra]

But also I think that speaks to, like, just how weak of a man he is, because it's like he doesn't. He. He refuses to consider himself as country. He's like, I am not a country artist. I am not a country singer. He, like, thinks it's disrespectful to him. I don't know. And so it's like to not even allow your partner to listen to anyone other than you. It's like, how weak, how, like, small of a man do you have to be? It's just.

[Nick]

No, that's. That's giving very small dick energy.

[Sierra]

Yeah.

[Nick]

This is about as small as it gets.

[Sierra]

It's definitely a take. He's continuing to post as if nothing's going on.

[Garrett]

Didn't he release music too?

[Sierra]

In those releasing music, which is. It's now like top five, I think, in the world. I mean, it's like at the same time that all of this is happening, it is bringing so much more attention to Zack Bryant and his music. And, you know, they're saying like Pink Skies was written about Brianna's co host Grace. And it's like she. Brianna said that she drugged Zach to Grace's grandmother's funeral. And he was pissed and he screamed at her and it was a huge fight. And then he ended up writing that song, which became a massive smash hit. And it's like, you know, I think that he's. He's just going about it as like, my name's in your mouth. I'm gonna keep releasing music. You're gonna keep listening to my stuff because you're gonna keep wanting to find out little things that I've written about. And he's just getting bigger and bigger.

[Taylor]

I think as a society, we should start devaluing the tortured man.

[Garrett]

Mm.

[Sierra]

It's also like, this is what happens when we make ugly people famous lit.

[Taylor]

Literally. I don't think I had ever actually seen a picture of Zach Ryan before.

[Nick]

He's got balls. When you consider these five foot, nothing, balding, like 27 year old.

[Sierra]

And he is in an. He is very talented. He's an incredible writer. Yeah, but he's a human. He's a boyfriend, He's a partner. He's a shit friend. His bandmate. Yeah, bandmate. Someone who he considers his brother. He talks about. He's had his bandmates for his Whole Life released a song a few days ago. Zach releases his High Road the exact same day and says nothing about his bandmate releasing his own single song. Says nothing, posts nothing about it. He just releases his own to, like, what one up it. It's like, really? Yes.

[Nick]

His bandmate released a song, and he basically overshadowed him.

[Sierra]

Yes, RJ released a song.

[Justin]

I did see. I did look to see if Zach responded to any of this, like, podcast stuff. And I guess he reposted two days ago on his story, one of someone else's posts. But the quote said on the post, I didn't know what to say. I felt like crying. God damn it. Everybody in the world wants an explanation for your acts and for your very beginning. And that's like a Jack Karok quote.

[Nick]

I don't know. He's got a plan. The victim.

[Taylor]

So it's like he's posting a Jack Kerouac quote.

[Justin]

Yeah. So it's like he's reposting stuff to, like, respond, but not being direct to.

[Taylor]

Your Jack Kerouac, another tortured artist that was, like, awful to everyone around him. And everyone's like, he's so talented, though.

[Sierra]

He also, Zach responds to everything. Anytime he is, like, caught, you know, when the whole Taylor Swift tweets happen, he immediately posted a tweet being like, I did this. This. Like, I'm sorry, I was doing this. I'm deleting Twitter. Like, he.

[Nick]

When he got arrested.

[Sierra]

When he arrested, he made a public post. So it is, like, interesting that now he's just deciding to, like, not say anything when he's responded to every questionable negative attention he's ever gotten. And Walker Hayes, country singer, wrote the first diss track against Zach Brian.

[Nick]

Is it good?

[Sierra]

No. But that doesn't matter. He. He. He did. He. He called out. He called out Zach Bryan, basically, before this all happened.

[Taylor]

Oh, yeah?

[Nick]

What was he saying?

[Sierra]

It basically is because Zach Bryan got on Twitter and, like, talked shit about one of the songs that Tyler Childers got, like, nominated for an award for. And Walker Hayes was like, whoa.

[Justin]

Like, like, Jesus didn't fight so that I could beef with Zach Brian. Literally insane.

[Garrett]

All right, well, Well, I love Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards diss track. It's stuck in my head right now.

[Sierra]

No statue.

[Nick]

Send your love to Brianna.

[Garrett]

How's it going now that she's free?

[Sierra]

Z. Yes, it is. It's.

[Garrett]

It's good.

[Justin]

Hello.

[Emily]

How are you guys?

[Nick]

Welcome to the show. We're so excited to have you.

[Emily]

Thank you. Happy to be here.

[Nick]

Well, we couldn't be more happy. How is, how has life been for you these days?

[Emily]

Not great. But we're, we're gonna, we're pushing through survival. I know, I know. I'm supposed to say good and then keep the pushing.

[Nick]

You can say whatever you want.

[Emily]

I prefer honesty.

[Nick]

Yeah, there you go.

[Emily]

Yeah, I prefer honesty in general, as a rule. So how's it been for you?

[Nick]

You know, we're, we're surviving over here, you know, just trying to give the people an escape from whatever it is that might be bugging them out, you know?

[Emily]

Yeah, yeah, respect. And I'm happy to be here and be part of that.

[Sierra]

I feel like that is, I feel like that is what SNL does too. They're like, you know what? We're going to make everything that's going on in the world that is stressing people out, we're going to make it funny and we're going to make you laugh at it.

[Emily]

Yes. That is, that is a big, giant part of the goal. I got a text from someone last night who lives in la, pretty late last night, and they were like, hey, hope you're doing well. Want you to know that the cold open made me laugh and I haven't laughed in days, so thank you for that. And I did like. And that's why we do it, y'all. That's why we do it.

[Nick]

Yeah, it is funny when you guys can nail the. We don't talk any politics on this show. But when you guys get into it and kind of get both sides, so to speak, to begrudgingly laugh, I think we can all agree that if nothing else, it's all kind of nuts and crazy when you guys bring some humor into it. It makes everyone feel at least a little better, I guess, you know?

[Emily]

Yeah. So, yeah, I didn't know how the writers were going to pull it off, but they did. They did. And at least one human being told me they laughed. And so I'm job. Mission accomplished. I'm always trying to make one person, at least one person feel joy. That's my, that's my whole thing.

[Sierra]

We make more than one. Yeah, Yeah.

[Taylor]

I love very much of. That's really great.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Emily]

Thank you. Thank you, guys.

[Nick]

Mary over here is a huge, huge, huge fan of Et cetera. And you as well, Mary.

[Emily]

I can't see.

[Taylor]

Mary, See, this is what. Nice to meet you. I do. I love snl.

[Emily]

Me too.

[Sierra]

Yeah.

[Emily]

Huge fan. Thank you.

[Taylor]

I did love the cold air.

[Nick]

We heard you're a big fan of the Grammys.

[Emily]

Well, I don't know if I'm a big fan of the Grammys.

[Sierra]

Do you want to say thank you right now?

[Emily]

I would love to thank Beyonce. There are a few things that pop up in the news, specifically in pop culture and entertainment news, that I go, oh, I need to see what's up with that. And I was at work and the Grammy noms list came out and I was like, I gotta find the list and I gotta see who's on it. Because I was very invested in music this year. I mean, I like music a lot in general, which is not a unique, fun thing, but.

[Sierra]

Yeah.

[Nick]

So what are your big takeaways? Are we going to go Chapel or is it Serena? Are they going head to head?

[Taylor]

Sabrina.

[Nick]

Serena. Sabrina.

[Emily]

Sabrina or Chapel? I, I, you know, they might, they. I think this is going to be a tough year because there were some real bops this year and some real hits. And if we're going based on popularity, some people really broke through this year. I'm guessing Sabrina, Sabrina had this mainstream appeal in a way that I'm like, you couldn't get espresso out of your head even if you tried, even if you didn't know the words. Like, I posted a video to my Instagram story or a series of videos to my Instagram story last year asking all my castmates to sing the lyrics of Espresso. Just the chorus. It was the week Sabrina was the musical guest at snl and basically no one knew the words, so. But we all knew the melody. So I feel like Sabrina. It might be Sabrina. But I was really curious to see who's gonna get record of the year in terms of. I was big fan of Kendrick's. The way Kendrick approached this beef, he really brought rap beef back. And I want to see him win something, you know, like, how do we.

[Sierra]

Drake feeling about like Kendrick absolutely eating him up. He's not okay.

[Emily]

You know, I don't think he's okay. I think he's going to be okay, but I don't think he's okay. He can't. He couldn't possibly be. What am I. He couldn't possibly be okay after that. I wouldn't be okay. But he is taking selfies still, so that's something.

[Justin]

There you go.

[Emily]

That's something.

[Taylor]

He's got that filler indication.

[Emily]

Proof of life.

[Sierra]

It is a proof of life. If anything.

[Nick]

If people are talking shit about you and all you're doing is taking silent selfies just to let you know you're wrong.

[Sierra]

I don't think Essence, SNL helped Espresso because I think it honestly made it worse with. Oh, I mean that. I think Bridesmaid sketch. Yes. That one I think was also stuck in everyone's head for weeks. Domingo.

[Emily]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. But that's the thing. I'm like, I think that's gonna. There are people I feel like that discovered espresso via bridesmaid sketch and the Domingo of it all. Because I'd see comments like, what? Fill me in on what. What's so funny here? And part of it is that we're think singing made up lyrics to espresso. But very. I think that might actually. I forgot about that. And that's how quickly the week before at work is erased from my memory. I forgot we even did that. I forgot that was mere weeks ago.

[Sierra]

Crazy.

[Emily]

I think that that's gonna be the thing that sends. I think that's gonna be the thing that gets Espresso. Espresso. An award. Some sort.

[Sierra]

I think so too. It has to be. I mean Domingo. Do you think we'll ever meet Domingo? We did. We did.

[Garrett]

He came out.

[Emily]

Yeah, he came out. Domingo came out at the end.

[Sierra]

Oh, I didn't get there. I just. I turned. I think I turned it off. I think I turned it off because.

[Emily]

I was like this.

[Sierra]

I. This is literally replaying in my head.

[Emily]

I have to get it out quick. That's many people's. I will say favorite part of that sketch is when Domingo appears at the wedding and he's like, Kelsey's like, my sis. But we did hook up, though.

[Taylor]

That was so funny.

[Emily]

I have to go back.

[Taylor]

It's great. It's a really good sketch.

[Emily]

It's awesome.

[Sierra]

Do you realize, I guess in the moment when you're doing these sketches, like, oh, this is going to be huge. Like. Or are you like, I don't know, maybe it'll land.

[Emily]

I'm more like, I don't know. I feel like whenever we do a sketch, there's no telling for us how an audience is going to respond to it because there are things that our table read that absolutely. Kill, destroy. Have us all erupting in laughter, applauding our castmates. And then we put it up at dress rehearsal, and the audience is like, the fuck?

[Taylor]

And silent.

[Emily]

And so we have no real gauge on what people are going to like and how people are going to respond to it, let alone whether it's going to, like, pop off and blow up. And so that was one. I couldn't have anticipated that. But then I go, I guess it is kind of like an earworm. When, like, I can like, Monday morning, like, what is. What did they say about football? What did you say?

[Nick]

Monday morning Quarterback.

[Emily]

Quarterback. Cool. I'm just getting into sports now, guys. Monday morning quarterback. Okay, Monday morning, quarterback it and go, oh, I see. This is what. Why this might have gone viral, but otherwise we're like, we don't know. And we're rehearsing it. Like, one of the writers took a video of us rehearsing that sketch and doing the dance rehearsal, and I'm like, if I'd known this sketch was going to be such a big deal, I might have put makeup on for a rehearsal and I might have wore a different outfit. I didn't know. And I didn't know you're going to post that video.

[Nick]

You get to meet, obviously, a lot of different high profile celebrities. Have there been anyone that you kind of got more excited than others or that felt like a surreal moment? Or are you just kind of dissent desensitized now that you get to meet so many different people.

[Emily]

Good question. I mean, I was very. I feel like I did, like, a double take and kind of like, oh, my gosh, she's here. When Eddie Murphy came to host, that was a huge one for me. Grew up watching him, obviously, such a huge fan of his. Amy Poehler was in the hall, I think, last week, and I was like, oh, my God, Amy. Because I think she's so immensely talented and also so incredibly kind and just such a jovial spirit. So that was very exciting. But by and large, at a certain point, I'm like, of course I'm going to meet everyone, but there are people I want to meet that I haven't met. So I don't want to act like I'm so chill about it.

[Nick]

Do we have. Can you want to put out a vibe of. Just to put it out there, who maybe you're hoping for?

[Emily]

I've put it out a lot. I've put it a lot. Jay Z. I would love to meet. I want to meet Jay Zachary.

[Sierra]

Has he not had a moment on snl?

[Nick]

Has he hosted ever?

[Emily]

He was the musical guest of the premiere episode, the season before I got hired. So. Yeah, exactly. Can you even believe. Can you even believe? I go, what is this? But we have the big 50th coming up, and so maybe. Maybe HOV will make an appearance there. Maybe maybe not. But that's. That's somebody. I also. I mean, if I could meet Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, that would be pretty tight to say I did that. I was in the same room as Michelle Obama this summer at no high. And I was like, so close, baby.

[Sierra]

I've met Barack. I did. I met him. I did. I met him. We went to this. I don't remember the exact. I think it was like getting. Getting creators to vote or. I don't know. But there was, like, no plan of Barack being there. It was, like, not mentioned at all. They were just like, we need everyone in the back room. We're gonna do, like, a toast. And it was like, I have to pee. And they're like, no, no, no. No one can go to the bathroom. And we're like, okay. And he walks in, like, so suave. And he's just like, oh, my God. And he was like, it's so great to meet you. He. He, like, reached through a crowd and shook my hand. It has been. I haven't washed my hands. Gosh, no. It was truly. It was magical. It was very magical. And he said that he wanted to meet you. I was like, that's a weird time to bring her up.

[Emily]

Okay, cool. So crazy. How long ago? And then the year was, like, 2016, before I was ever on.

[Sierra]

This is a few months ago. This is.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Sierra]

And he was like, I'm obsessed.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Sierra]

And I was like, okay. I mean, I want to talk about me, but sure, I guess you can talk about her. Have you always been.

[Emily]

I wish that.

[Sierra]

It's true. It's true. Have you always been so great at impressions, or is this something that has come later on in life?

[Emily]

Thank you for saying that. That is a kind compliment. I think I started with me, like, doing impressions of my mom and my aunts and uncles. Like, I would just mimic the way they spoke. I'm first generation Nigerian American, and so I would mimic the way they spoke if they said something. And then. Then they'd all laugh at me mimicking them. Of course. No idea. Even into adulthood, early adulthood, had any idea that that would be translated into my career and work at all. But that's when it started. I would say, I feel like I could do an impression of many people for, like, 10 seconds maximum. And then when we start to get into, like. I think Jamie Foxx is, like, a master impressionist, and I'm obsessed with the way he approaches impressions. I could never do what he does, but. But it started with, thankfully, my family being good sports. About me making fun of them. Yeah. That's when they were. They were very good sports. And I have to say, another person that was surreal to meet is freaking Dionne Warwick, who is an impression I've done on the show. Dion. Ms. Dionne. Ms. Dion. She's incredible. That was really, really special. And then to sing a duet with her, I was like, what is. What is even happening? Pinch me. Yeah.

[Sierra]

How is that to do impressions of someone and then to meet them? Like, are they like, you know, I didn't think I sounded like that. Or are they like, you crushed this.

[Emily]

Well, you know what? It's okay. So my friend printed this out for me and framed it. But it's right after I did the Dionne Warwick talk show for the very first time. The next morning, Dion tweeted like, you did a wonderful job, baby. You're a star. And my friend printed that tweet for me. It's in on my vanity in my.

[Sierra]

Bedroom, as it should be.

[Emily]

So I was so grateful that she embraced the impression. But I. I get the sense every once in a while, and not with me, because I don't do a ton of impressions, but I get the Sense every once in a while. And I'm like, someone doesn't acknowledge the impression that was done of them on the show. And I was like, oh, they hated it. But I don't know that that's true. Maybe they just don't give a fuck. But my mind, I'm like, if they don't acknowledge it, they kind of hated it. But I don't worry too much because I don't do too many impressions. And thankfully, that was one where I was like, I hope she knows this is done purely out of love. And she was being very funny on Twitter at the time. It was of the moment in that way.

[Garrett]

Do you still have to do impressions for your SNL audition?

[Emily]

You can do whatever you want with that SNL audition. They give you five minutes and it' You're. You can. Like. A lot of the people in the cast who are standups did, like, five minutes of standup.

[Garrett]

What did you do?

[Emily]

I did not do standup. I did characters. I did an impression of my mom, of course, and her having a meltdown about me saying I wanted to be an actor. I did at the time. LeBron James, I promise. Schools were in the news big time. And so I did a character, an original character that was a mom who was in the principal's office and basically like, hey, I've been trying to get my son in trouble so I can meet Principal King James. When does King James get involved? Because basically she's a groupie. And then I did a 911 operator who was on everybody's business. So she'd take the 911 call and then be like, okay, hold on. And then call a friend on her cell phone and be like, so they having trouble. I just called up to. They just said, girl, I just called this man got a gun, basically, that. I haven't even done that on the show. I would love to. But then I did. God, what else was a thing? I'm blanking. I did Maya Angelou. Because also, Maya Angelou is like, my impression of Maya Angelou informed. I hope this isn't offensive. I've said it a few times, but I hope it's not offensive. Informed my impression of Dionne Warwick, because I think they have a. Like, they share a tone phone. I'm rubbing my fingers together, but there's, like, they share. They're. They share some. Some musicality in their voices. So the five minutes also flew by. People were like, did you see Lauren? People ask all the time. They're like, did you see Lauren? Did you see was in your audition. I was like, nope, didn't look over at them one time because they're like, not in front of you. They're off to the side and they're like taping your audition. So yeah, no, stand up for me, but shout out to those guys because I feel like that's incredibly brave as well.

[Nick]

How long did they make you wait before you get feedback? Did you feel good about your audition? Did you kind of have to sit for a few days and wait? What was that like?

[Emily]

I was in an incredibly anxious place, just generally in life. And I was. I had moved out of my apartment in LA very abruptly, like weeks before because there was a roach in my apartment. And so I moved, which is what a normal person does to New York. I was more like, I want to sign a lease, I want to get an apartment, but I can't get an apartment because I'm waiting to hear about this thing. And so basically right after the audition, I felt good. I heard laughs. But I was like, more like just, someone tell me I'm not getting this job so I can sign a lease. I'm like couch surfing right now and I'm not enjoying it. So then I got a call after. Or text maybe, Maybe. It was probably a call that was like, the producers want to like grab a drink with you. So then we arrive at these drinks and we see who else got invited to drinks. And it was like maybe four other people, like Bo, Chloe, there's another girl who later got hired as well, Lauren. And we got drinks with the producers. And then. And then after. That was a waiting period, if I'm not mistaken. I like think I went back to la. And then I was couch surfing still. And I was like, anyone just call me today and tell me I'm not getting it so I can go get this apartment in Studio City. And so arbitrarily decided, I want to live in Studio City, by the way. I was like, I think I'm a Studio City gal now. I think I've graduated. But it was like weeks after. Cause then they were. SNL was producing the Emmys that year. So they were consumed with that, not worried about who they were gonna hire. Weeks long limbo. And then I think I found out I got the job on like a Wednesday and I moved on Thursday and then I went on on Friday to get an id. And then work started Monday. And so it was very, very, what a shock to us, to your system.

[Nick]

True.

[Emily]

No, truly, it was very abrupt. I was truly, I kid you, not worried about Signing a lease for an apartment. Cause I was tired of being on my friend's couch.

[Sierra]

When you went into drinks with producers, was there an. I mean, I. Obviously you are just naturally funny, but is there a underlying pressure of like, I gotta make these fuckers laugh so hard, you know?

[Emily]

No. So I know because I think in general I don't try to be funny. And in fact, when I'm like, if I'm going to, like, ghost, if I'm going to go, like, get a drink with someone, I'm going to go to get dinner with someone. I am not the comedy person who's like, and I'm here to crack you up. I'm more like, what are you scared of? And tell me what's going on in your life. And so I'm not. I. And when I. Being out with comedians, sometimes I'm like, okay, people, we understand everyone's funny. Can we just be for real for a second? So, no, I was not trying to make anyone laugh. And again, cannot you ever been so anxious that you're just kind of out of body? I was. The couch surfing was really getting to me. I was so anxious that I. I was like, someone's telling me to go to drinks. No problem, I'm going to go to drinks.

[Sierra]

You're like, can I sleep on the couch in the restaurant tonight also?

[Emily]

Yes, there's a restaurant also have a couch for me and maybe I can get some of my things out of storage. And so I was not. I feel like I was not fully present. I think I turned to Chloe at one point and I was like, do you really want this job? And she was like, yeah. And then she's like, you? And I was like, yeah. But I was like, I'm thinking about the couch.

[Sierra]

Awesome.

[Emily]

Anyway, I was so. I don't. I was not trying to make them laugh. I'm like, you just gotta go be yourself. And in general, I do try to. Especially just having one on ones or intimate. If I'm not performing, if I'm not on a stage or I'm not being asked to perform, I'm generally just trying to be a person who then I guess maybe makes people laugh sometimes, but definitely not going for it.

[Sierra]

It's so funny that you say this. I would love to hear your take on the Ryan Reynolds Martha Stewart where she was like, he was my neighbor. He's not funny.

[Nick]

And I was like, he's not performing as your neighbor. He's taking out the tr.

[Taylor]

I believe her.

[Emily]

He just try to live his life. That's so funny. Okay. I just started watching the Martha doc last night.

[Garrett]

Me too.

[Emily]

Well past my bedtime. It's like, guys, it's like 1:30am I was supposed to go to sleep at 11pm but then I found myself just like I. Being an adult is fascinating because I'm like, I guess I'm supposed to put myself to bed because I know I need to wake up at a certain time, but I can never, rarely can I do it. Or it's 50 50. And so last night it was like, not happening. And I was like, I'm gonna start the Martha Stewart documentary at 1:15am and I'm gonna watch.

[Nick]

How far did you get?

[Emily]

I'm sick. I think I got. I got to the point, where am I allowed like, I don't know, timestamp. But I can tell you, it was like after she. What I remember is like cheating on her new husband.

[Nick]

And then you're going. And the producer asked about her and she like, eh, whatever. Did I do that? Yeah, she was like, whatever.

[Emily]

She goes, I can't. He asked her like, yeah, was it fun or infidelity? And she was like, it was neither or. No, it was like it was an infidelity or another thing. And she was like, neither. It wasn't infidelity.

[Nick]

It was a moment everyone should have think.

[Sierra]

She says, yes.

[Emily]

That's what she said.

[Taylor]

God, I love her.

[Emily]

I was like, I didn't know Martha was such a bad bitch. I had no idea. I was like, whoa, Martha. And then her. Her quote about, okay, if you want to be happy for a year, get married if you want to be happy for 10 years. I woke up this morning, could not remember what the 10 years was. And then if you want to be happy for a lifetime, get a garden. Get a garden. Yeah, but what was the ten years? I don't.

[Nick]

A dog maybe?

[Emily]

A dog? Yeah, it was get a dog. It was get a dog a little more.

[Taylor]

Did she lie though?

[Nick]

No. Martha is a baddie. She was like dominating like the York, like Wall street before she got into like, baked goods.

[Taylor]

It was kind of insider trading never hurt nobody.

[Nick]

She was wrong. Yeah, that's some bullshit.

[Emily]

But everyone. But also if you. I bet if you ask her, when I saw the thing about the infidelity and her going like, no, that's not what that was. It was a moment everyone should have. I was again, that's how far I got in the doc. Kind of fell asleep. I was like, can't wait to hear them ask her about the insider trading. Because I'M sure she thinks that was.

[Taylor]

Also a moment that was fun.

[Emily]

Everyone should have everybody.

[Taylor]

Insider trades once in a while, everyone ins.

[Emily]

But I do do. Isn't that the word on the street? Don't. Don't they?

[Nick]

Instead of trade.

[Emily]

Yeah, but aren't people doing it?

[Nick]

It seems like a lot of people in power get away with it.

[Taylor]

Teach you how to do that when you become rich, that's like the first thing they do.

[Emily]

That's what I. Yeah, that's what I thought. So I'm like, she's not wrong if. In that way maybe when.

[Nick]

When you're not watching a Martha Stewart documentary, what are some other guilty pleasures you enjoy? Binging.

[Emily]

Okay, I. I'm an og. Love is Blind girl. But I know it's now just. I think, or I'm understanding from friends that it might just be a bunch of people who want to get on TV now. But I. I miss the experiment. Cameron and Lauren, they are the one. One success story. Or maybe there's like two or three.

[Nick]

But there's a few now.

[Emily]

Love is blind. I've been going to the movies lately, which I haven't done in a very long time. Like years. We're talking years. I have not like, really been on a movie kick. And so I saw my old ass Honora and Smile two. And I. Weirdly, my friend, it was for my friend's birthday, Smile two. And he, like, rented out a theater and he's like, we're all gonna see Smile 2. He's like, you didn't have to see Smile 1. You'll be fine. And then as a person who really felt like I haven't been to the movies in any meaningful way in years, I was like, wait, shit, I did see Smile 1. I saw Smile 1. And the whole time I was thinking about how so see, Bacon is my friend Jenna's friend. And that. So it was very distracting. I was like. I didn't realize. I was like, Jenna spread the whole time. So anyway, movies. I'm. I'm into movies now, but also I'm kind of boring in that I. In my free time, I like to read.

[Sierra]

Like, what I. I'm entering my reading era and what, what, what type of books do you like to read? What, what are you into? Erotic thriller. Erotic thrillers?

[Emily]

No. You wish it were.

[Justin]

It would.

[Emily]

It would be far more exciting if it was. I read. Okay. There's this priest who runs the largest gang rehabilitation center in the world, certainly in Los Angeles, Father Gregory Boyle. I read lots of his books because the way he sees life is really beautiful to me. And then I read books about how I should rest and what rest looks like and why it's important.

[Nick]

Okay.

[Emily]

I mean, I'm not. I don't want. I don't want to be this girl. I want to tell you I'm reading.

[Sierra]

Do you also, like, practice, gratitude.

[Emily]

Low key? I try. Yeah, I try to, but also I used to try to. Well, I did used to journal. It helped me a lot. And then I stopped because I was like, this is becoming tedious to me and feels like very dutiful as opposed to, like soothing, if you will. It feels like a thing I have to do. And I don't like when things start to feel like things I have to do. I'm like, I'm. I'm out on that.

[Nick]

What are you currently reading?

[Sierra]

I have found an erotic thriller that I have to take breaks from because I can only. Only read it once. He's fallen asleep. And so it's very much. And then I'm like, I either need to, like, immediately find something or I need to close my eyes and go to sleep. Because I understand.

[Emily]

It's.

[Sierra]

It's a little crazy.

[Emily]

Find something. If you should find something and then go to sleep, it lulls you right into sleep.

[Sierra]

Honestly. You're right. I should, I should.

[Emily]

Next time. Next time you read a chapter, I encourage you.

[Sierra]

Thank you so much.

[Nick]

Treat yourself. You know.

[Sierra]

You know what? I should treat myself.

[Emily]

Wake him up. Wake him up.

[Nick]

How late is it? How late? How late? How late?

[Sierra]

Yeah, what time. What time are we.

[Emily]

Are you a go to sleep early kind of man?

[Nick]

Oh, now that we have a kid's.

[Sierra]

Head hits the pillow, I'm like, let's watch a movie. And as soon as he's in the bed, he's asleep.

[Nick]

Like, I'll smoke that weed around eight. And then, you know, he's done.

[Sierra]

He's absolutely done.

[Emily]

Okay. Yeah.

[Sierra]

Okay.

[Emily]

You know what? I respect it. So you got. Girl, you got to find something. You're going to find something tonight in the bathtub.

[Sierra]

I'm going to use the bathtub. The bathtub faucet.

[Emily]

Like back.

[Sierra]

Back in the old days.

[Emily]

Okay.

[Sierra]

What. Going back to snl, have there been any sketches that you loved that have just been rejected or that have not made it that you're like, please.

[Emily]

Yes, I. One of them I did with Cecily Strong, I think twice or maybe once it was with Cecily, once it was with the host. But is two door women at a club who are in charge of letting people in. But they can't read. So when you say your name, they're like, how do you spell? They ask you how to spell it. And then because they don't really know letters either, they're like, okay, but, like, what are the shapes of those?

[Sierra]

Like, okay, what do they smell like?

[Emily]

Yeah, what do they smell like? Like, can you do them, like, YMCA style or whatever? But that has not worked for one reason or another. I love it. There's also this. This girl who. Who I was walking. Basically, I got in character for a pre. Tape sketch. It was like, one about. I don't. About a subway stop. I feel like two years ago or last year. And they gave me really long nails and I had, like, a crop top and, like, trashy sweats on. And I kept walking around while we were waiting to rehearse or waiting to shoot and say, pretending to be, like, an SNL super fan. And I was like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It's Marcelo Hernando. Oh, my God. How do you go? Whatever. And so Mikey and I ended up writing a scene of that woman who was, like, super gullible and goes to see a medium who's getting everything. He's saying the basics, and I'm just like, oh, my God. Like, I have a grandmother. Oh, my God. Yeah, I got a grand, too. Oh, my God. And so I would love to do her, but I don't know that it's gonna happen. But that was a very fun one that I'm like, we should let her live. Her name was Latricycle.

[Nick]

Is there. Is there, like. Is it kind of like Games of Thrones in terms of, like, whose, like, sketches get picked up? Is there politicking or is it just funniest laugh get.

[Emily]

It's not funniest laugh. Yeah, no. Biggest laugh does not win. There is politics involved. And so I guess. And I guess that's, like, to be expected if you're making a network television show for a gigantic audience. So they have to take into consideration a lot of things. So there's some sketches I've seen a table that are, like, some of the funniest things I've ever seen that will never see the light of day on snl. But our writing staff's very talented in that way. But, yeah, no, there's a lot of consideration in terms of, like, is this going to be offensive to this group of people? And they don't let us in on that. You just kind of like, over time, like, we're not in the producer meeting after Our table read going, like, hearing why they picked a thing versus another thing or why they didn't pick the funniest thing at table today. But you. After some time, you start to discern, like, oh, I'm getting the sense, like, this. This sort of thing is too crass for them. Or this thing only, like, one person is funny in it and everyone else is kind of not. Or, you know, and. Or this week they need to, like, showcase this cast member because they kind of have been pretty blank the last few weeks. So, yeah, there's a number of things that go into deciding the show, but it is not solely the funniest thing, though that would be an interesting week. I'd be curious to see what a week like that on the show would be like if it was like the 10, the whatever, five funniest things are, what's in the play.

[Nick]

Or they could, like, you guys should start, like a late, late Saturday night, like, sketches that you guys put out, like, online. That's, like, stuff that didn't make the cut. That would be great.

[Emily]

That would be. Listen, they post code for time, but if they could, like, produce some of the funny ones, some of the funniest ones we've seen at the table read and turn them into, I don't know, like, the SNL Uncut kind of. You guys ever see BET Uncut? Ever stumble upon that by accident as a young person?

[Sierra]

Yes.

[Emily]

And then watch it every night on purpose after that because you're fascinated.

[Sierra]

That was me.

[Emily]

Have you ever seen the music video for Tips Drill Nelly?

[Sierra]

No. What is it?

[Emily]

Okay, so before you pick up your erotic book tonight, just watch. Or maybe after watch the tip drill video. Nelly's tip drill video. It is fascinating. And I remember, like, it's another. You stay up too late and you put on BET and just. You're like, oh, I'm going to put on this channel. You go, whoa, what's happening after hours here? It's fascinating. Watch. I encourage it. I just encourage everyone to watch it.

[Taylor]

I'll do it.

[Sierra]

I'll do it. What has it been like to work with Steph Curry on Mr. Throwback?

[Emily]

Oh, the shit. Steph's amazing. He truly is. He's so. He's so funny and down to play. And I feel like such a fan of comedy. He was able to hang with me and Adam. He was on his shit, and I loved getting to work with him. It was super fun. He also. So I was supposed to. I don't. I can't remember if they took this out, but I was supposed to have had a basketball career myself. My character. But, like, Adam's character ruined my basketball career with his shenanigans. And after I got the job, they're like, do you know how to play basketball? And I was like, not even a little bit. Like, can't. I played on a basketball league, and I told this story on Fallon, but I played on a basketball league. I was, like, the one black girl on this team, and I was by far the worst. I was so bad, I didn't realize all the rules of basketball. I know what traveling is. I've heard. I know what that is. But I'm like, the rest of it. I was out of my depths.

[Sierra]

And I have to tell you this story. When I played basketball and my dad was the coach for, like, our rec league, and, yeah, I was like, well, I'm obviously the best. My dad's a coach. Like, I'm the best there is. And we were playing, and it was, like, super tight game, and I got the ball and I shot in the wrong. You know, you switch. Apparently, you switch. I forgot about that, how you switch baskets halfway through. And so, like, the winning shot, I shot in the run wrong, and the other team won, and my dad, like, benched me. And it was the saddest moment, probably of my.

[Emily]

Oh, devastating.

[Sierra]

It was.

[Emily]

How old were you?

[Sierra]

I was probably nine years old, maybe.

[Emily]

Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Scarf for life. At least you could shoot, though, because I can't. I can't shoot. Steph taught me how to shoot. Basically, they realized, like, I couldn't. They, like, she can't play basketball. I think they took it out of my character because I was like, oh, no, no. I don't even know how to pretend. And they did keep in a scene, which I thought was savage of them. And I hadn't realized until I saw it on the Internet. I was like, oh, they kept this in, um, me shooting air. Straight up air balls. We're not even close, right? And so Steph taught me how to shoot on the Today show. Um, and I was like, there's no way this man can teach me to shoot. And all these people around, you know, there's like, an audience watching the Today show when you guys are. We're outside on the courtyard. Um, and he taught me. He taught me how to shoot. And I was like, I feel like we're going to. I'm going to. Someone's going to get hurt here because I'm actually really, really bad. I don't even say that to be like, Self deprecating. Because it's funny. I'm actually remarkably bad. I want people to believe me. And all the people who were sitting out there, all the people who were sitting out there understood that immediately. But Steph was able to teach me to shoot. And everyone's like, oh, of course. He's the greatest shooter. Like, of course he could teach you to shoot. I'm like, no, no, I'm genuinely that bad. And he was able to do it. Took four shots. He. And there's a whole method, obviously, you know, because you played. But I'm like, I. It's a, it's a thing. And I was doing it so wrong, but I got it. I made a basket.

[Sierra]

Have you played? So.

[Emily]

And that's huge. And so. No, of, of course not.

[Sierra]

Why would you do that? Why would you.

[Nick]

Of course not while you're ahead.

[Emily]

Why would I ever try? Yeah, exactly. I'm like, that's, it's like, Jordan, I want to retire while I'm on top of the game. And so, no, I didn't. I was like, I'm. I'm good on any. I'm good on playing basketball.

[Garrett]

Any reports on a season two for Mr. Throwback?

[Emily]

We haven't heard yet, but we're hoping to hear very soon. We're hoping to hear very soon. I hear from Adam and the Libmans, who are the creators from time to time, and they're like, we're, we're creeping. We're creeping and hopefully any day now. So I would have loved to tell you guys first, but I don't even know, had to ask.

[Sierra]

Is there anything you do want to tell us first?

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Yeah. Anything you want to tell us first?

[Taylor]

SNL50 million.

[Garrett]

Poker face, perhaps.

[Emily]

I don't know. Even the SNL50 is happening in February. There's no real tea. I'm trying to think if there's something in my personal life I want to tell you first. Be. Be. Be the first friends to find out. I go from my apartment to work while we're in season. And so people ask me all the time. They're like, oh, how do you like living in New York? And I'm like, had no idea. I work in New York and that's it. I don't know what New York is, but no, there's, there's no tea. The 50th is in, in February. I don't even know who they're bringing, but I just imagine that's why I'm like, I hope Jay Z is coming. Maybe Barack Obama will Come in. And Michelle as well. Me and I don't know who, but yeah, they're planning a huge thing and they're not telling us.

[Sierra]

So if Barack does come, do you feel like there's, like, a party that wants to ask him about me at all, or.

[Emily]

No, I will. Absolutely. I'll be. Absolutely. I'm gonna ask him about you and he'll remember.

[Nick]

We also turned her down for a selfie, though, so.

[Sierra]

He did turn me down for a selfie. After he shook my hand, I was like, I would love to take a selfie. And he was like, I can't do that. And I was like, okay, well, perfect. Now no one will ever believe ever.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Nick]

But in fairness to him, he had to say no because he was going to get mobbed afterwards. So, like, it was.

[Emily]

Yes. If he takes one selfie, he has to take self preservation. Yes, fair. Fair enough. Fair enough. I'll get. I'll get a selfie with him. If he comes for you, we will Photoshop your face onto my body. I don't know if that's doing you a favor or not, but.

[Sierra]

Absolutely.

[Emily]

Let's play it on. That it. Absolutely. You're so kind.

[Garrett]

Yeah, please.

[Emily]

Thank you, though. Kind. Please.

[Sierra]

I'll just start posting your. Your body. My face on your body on Instagram.

[Emily]

You're. You're very kind. Do you know, after the bridesmaid sketch, by the way, I got a couple messages that were like, are you pregnant? And I was like, well, damn. Why.

[Sierra]

And why would you say that? Was I giving hormonal?

[Emily]

Like, there. She's giving gut.

[Sierra]

She's giving.

[Emily]

She's giving guts.

[Sierra]

She's giving guts. She's giving Olivia Rodrigo guts.

[Emily]

She's giving guts. And I was like, this dress, I had other things underneath that to get ready for the next sketch. And I was like, also, this dress is not built for that. I think I got to try on every one of those bridesmaids dresses in the sketch before the costumer, I was the first one to go to my fitting. And he's like, because you're first, you get first dibs. And the thing is, none of them looked right on me. And so we. I just kind of was like, eff it, let's take. Let's take whatever this.

[Sierra]

But I feel like that's also in true bridesmaid fashion. Like the wife, the bride is always going to pick the ugliest shit for her friends to wear.

[Taylor]

Yeah, they're all going to look pretty atrocious.

[Garrett]

And did you.

[Emily]

Did you do that? Wait did you do that at your wedding?

[Sierra]

No, of course not.

[Emily]

Lies. No.

[Sierra]

I said, you know what? I said, y'all pick. I. I was going to go with a pale yellow. And then I said, that's up of me to ask people to wear pale yellow. So I did tell them they could wear any dress in black.

[Emily]

Okay. Any dress in black. Okay. Okay.

[Sierra]

Which is like.

[Emily]

And how did they show up? Was. Were you pleased? Were you pleased with how the girlies look?

[Sierra]

I was pleased. I had to have a serious talking to with my sister, who exclusively only shops on Amazon. Amazon. And I was like, unfortunately, you cannot wear this dress that is from Amazon to my wedding. You're going to have to, like, go into a store and, like, try some on and actually. And put some effort into this, Emily. Yeah. Yeah. So that. That is how that went. But I've been in several weddings where I'm like, you hate me. Why am I in. Why am I standing beside you?

[Emily]

I know. You know what? Well, I. Here's my thing. Don't you want. I've never had a wedding. I've been in weddings. I've never planned wedding. But I'm like, don't you want everyone to just look bomb.com or not? Like, yes, I'm gonna look bomb dot com in my white dress. You're gonna look bomb. And you're what? Like, isn't that cool? I don't get that. If. But my. I had a friend. She was cool. She let us all pick our own dresses, but it was like, color palette. We got the color palette assignment. It wasn't like, one color, but in this world. And that was nice because it was, like, great. I got a dress that I will presumably wear again.

[Taylor]

Exactly.

[Emily]

But those dresses were for the bridesmaid sketch, I think a particular kind of hideous. Like, these are. These. These are fucked.

[Taylor]

How do you think.

[Sierra]

Yeah.

[Taylor]

Lisa from Temecula would do as a bridesmaid? Do you think she would be into it?

[Emily]

I think Lisa from Temecula. So we did a sketch where she goes to a wedding as a guest. Oh, yeah. I was like, for this one, because she's at a wedding, can she make. Can she turn her current sweater into a. A dress? And so we made that sweater, her iconic sweater, into a dress. Like, put a skirt. And I think she'd wear that to someone's wedding as well. I think she'd wear that outfit in white to her own wedding. It's like the sweater with the.

[Taylor]

She knows her shades.

[Sierra]

Convinced.

[Emily]

She's convinced. In the year 2024, that. That is the look and that is the vibe.

[Taylor]

She knows what she.

[Emily]

She wants. Yeah, she can. She can do it.

[Sierra]

Can you please show us your dog? Can you pick up your dog and show me your dog?

[Emily]

Yes. I actually want to show. You know, I want to do it because he's chewing something he's not supposed to. But, guys, I'm going to be happy for 10 years or at least nine more. He's here. This is Chief.

[Nick]

Oh, Chief.

[Sierra]

Oh, my gosh.

[Taylor]

Oh, my gosh.

[Emily]

This is my buffs. This is Chief. This is Chief. He's chewing.

[Sierra]

What was he chewing?

[Emily]

He went in his toy bag basket.

[Justin]

He.

[Emily]

He. I put up. I brought his toy basket down for him. I was like, he should be able to take whatever he wants out of here. I shouldn't police that. But what he wants is a. One of his little, like, shoes that is not, in fact, a toy. And he was just, like, ripping that apart.

[Sierra]

He does want to let you know that he hates the shoes.

[Emily]

Yes, he does. He does hate the shoes, by the way. That is a real thing, which is why they were in there. And I forgot they were in there because I. I try to be like, do you guys have a dog?

[Sierra]

We have.

[Nick]

We have two.

[Emily]

Two dogs. They get to sleep in the bed with you?

[Nick]

Jeff does. Steve's in the kennel.

[Sierra]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Emily]

Okay. Is Steve. Why is Steve in the kennel?

[Sierra]

He's so bad. No, he is so bad.

[Emily]

He.

[Sierra]

In the middle of the night, he is, like, pulling out my makeup drawer and chewing up my mascara.

[Nick]

No, but. But he's also. Because he's still at 1 years old, but he. Lately we've left the door open and he stays in the kennel. So we're. We're. He's. We're opening it up for him to be freed. But okay, we spoiled him at first because Jeff, our first dog, was so good. He never did anything bad. And then baby Steve, we kind of let baby Steve do whatever he want, and he turned. He quickly turned into a monster, so we had to backtrack kettle train. And now he's.

[Sierra]

Now he's kind of like, I do need. He. I had a baby nine months ago, and after you have a baby, you are in the most. The biggest, largest pairs of underwear you'll ever see in your entire life. And he had thrown up so many times that I was like, oh, my God, I have to take him to the vet. And I took him to the vet, and the vet was like, what has he thrown up? And I called my mom, who Was staying with us, and I was like, yeah, can you find that thing that he threw up this morning and send me a photo of it? And she rolled it out, and it was my large pair of panty that I had to then show the vet that our dog had. And I was like, and I will let you know, I don't wear these usually. I'll explain it to you right now. As to why he had this.

[Emily]

I want you to know my under is actually quite attractive and so sexy.

[Sierra]

It's all little tiny thongs.

[Emily]

Wait, did you guys get a trainer for Jeff or. Jeff was just good.

[Nick]

Mostly. He was just good.

[Sierra]

He was mostly good. But we had a trainer, like, give us tips and tricks, but got you.

[Emily]

And then with Steve Trainer before he.

[Nick]

Trainer.

[Sierra]

Trainer.

[Nick]

We sent him to. Yeah, okay.

[Emily]

Okay.

[Sierra]

He is not better, Steve.

[Emily]

Okay, okay. Well, I. Chief is very good, and so Chief is. Chief is. Chief is a very good, good boy. I want to let him sleep in the bed with me, but we live in New York, and New York is disgusting. So that's where the shoes came. I was like, well, maybe if you wear shoes or, like, little. The little I can justify, but he hates them. And so that's out the window. But I do neurotically wipe his paws before he gets to run around, I mean, because it's nasty.

[Sierra]

Maybe you could put, like, a. You could put, like, a dog blanket at the bottom of your bed, and he could, like, stay on the dog blanket.

[Emily]

So guess what? This week, I tried to do that, because this week was particularly rough. I go, I'm letting chief sleep in the bed with me today. And I put a blanket. It's actually a. The barefoot. You know, the barefoot dreams blanket. It's a nice blanket. I put the barefoot dreams blanket on my bed at the foot of the bed. And I was like, you stay on here. And he stayed on for exactly five seconds. Is like, no, honey, I want to be on the duvet. Like, this is.

[Sierra]

I want to be on this silk pillowcase.

[Emily]

Yes, exactly. And he's like, it's not. It's not happening. So anyway, he doesn't get to. He doesn't get to sleep in the bed with me. But he's fine. He's like. He's kennel trained and all and all the things. And honestly, I don't even know that he thinks being on my bed's that exciting.

[Sierra]

They probably don't.

[Emily]

I tried. My mom says that too. She's like, put him on the. And also, do you feel like he should get a Friend. Maybe you guys can advise me here. Should he have. Should I get a second dog, or is that insane?

[Sierra]

No. Nick got Steve when I was, like, seven months pregnant and was like, we have to have. Jeff has to have a friend because we're going to have a baby and we're going to neglect him. And definitely best thing for Jeff, worst thing for me. And I have never gone through so many periods of my life where I am like, I hate this dog. And then he's good, and then I'm like, I love you so much. But it's like the way he's able to jump up on the counter and pull the stick of butter that is so far away with, like, his tongue or his nail. Male is the craziest thing I've ever seen.

[Emily]

That's why. What kind of dog is Steve?

[Sierra]

They're like goldendoodles, you know?

[Emily]

And it's okay.

[Sierra]

It's rotten.

[Emily]

Okay, okay. I understand. I understand. I. I can't tell if I'm projecting on him because every time I look at Chief, I'll be like, is he bored? Sad? Like, he feels so deep? And I'm like, are you okay? Is everything. Do you. Is Are you. Do I suck as the owner?

[Sierra]

Yeah, maybe.

[Emily]

What's that?

[Sierra]

He should start journaling.

[Emily]

Journal. He should do a gratitude practice.

[Nick]

Does Chief watch tv?

[Emily]

Chief does watch tv. So I don't really watch a lot of tv, but I. I just was telling my mom this yesterday. I had a friend come stay with me a couple weeks ago, and I was at work and on a Saturday, and she sends me a picture of her and Chief watching tv. He's just posted up next to her, and they are watching TV and does not look like one of those pictures you take of the dog where it's like, well, they're still for 30 seconds. Like, let me try to grab this. It was like, no, they're chilling hard. And I was like, that's what's missing from his life. Honestly, that I don't sit and watch tv. I'm like, I'm a weirdo. I want to watch, like, the Martha Stewart thing. I watched on my laptop. I have a big old tv, and I was like, I'm going to watch it on my laptop in my bed. Is that. Are you. Is. That's insane. People have told me that's crazy that I do that.

[Nick]

I think you're not alone. I don't think you're as lone alone as your friends want to make you feel.

[Taylor]

I do that all the time.

[Emily]

Okay.

[Taylor]

The laptop Just feels safer. I don't know. It feels more insane.

[Emily]

Yeah. It just feels cozy.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Emily]

Yeah. Something about it feels cozy.

[Sierra]

There's a show, I think it's on Disney plus and it's for babies, but they. They made it essentially for dogs as well, because the only colors that the show is in are colors that dogs can see. And so it's like, oh, really? Yes. And I'm trying to figure out the name of it, and I can't find it right now. But it's like, we put it on for Jeff, and he's obsessed with it. Like, it's. Maybe Chief, if you, like, leave for a moment, maybe he'd love to watch.

[Emily]

Tv, maybe get on genuinely. When I get off of this record with you guys, I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna go find. I'm gonna go find out what this show is and put it on for him and see what it is and see. Do you guys watch trash TV all the time?

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Emily]

What's your favorite Poison?

[Nick]

Well, we just finished recently Love is Blind. We really got into Love island over the summer. We're big Housewives fans. Yeah. Salt Lake City.

[Taylor]

Salt Lake City is the show.

[Emily]

Is Salt Lake City the star right now? Because when I. I was an og, Okay, I was OG Housewives big time. Like, my favorite. So I was watching Atlanta. I was watching Jersey, a little bit of New York. I was obsessed with Jersey. Obsessed. Obsessed. We're talking Teresa Judach. Or is it Judice now? Or pronunciation?

[Nick]

Oh, she does not sure.

[Justin]

She's admitted it. It's like, five different ways.

[Taylor]

That's her.

[Emily]

Okay. Yeah. Okay, great. Great. I obsessed. And then I felt very bad. I stopped watching because I felt so bad that Teresa's family was falling apart. And so I stopped watching because I was like, I feel so, so bad. I'm like, I think it's because of this show. And so I felt guilty and, like, I was part of it. But now I want to pick back up because I do hear Salt Lake is where it's at. I've also heard Potomac is.

[Nick]

I've heard Potomac's very good.

[Garrett]

Potomac is so good this season.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Sierra]

Rihanna's favorite is Salt Lake City.

[Taylor]

Yeah. I think Salt Lake is one of the best shows ever made. Like, I think it's, like, the best show ever. It's perfect.

[Emily]

Do I need to start season one? So I start. So a few years, when Salt Lake was first starting, I did start watching because people at work were talking a bunch about it, and I was like, I want to I can probably return to the Housewives. That was so fun. And I remember someone smelled like hospital.

[Garrett]

Yep.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Taylor]

Yeah, it smells like hospital.

[Nick]

I think for me, I like to start my Bravo. Like, when I introduce myself to a new Bravo show, I like to start wherever it's at because, like, Bravo's also famous for their, like, flashbacks. So you can. You can start wherever, and then if you want to add context, whatever drama they're having, they either. They either have a flashback, or you can go. You can go back and binge on Peacock or whatever it is. I like doing that rather than starting from the beginning.

[Garrett]

This season specifically, too. There's, like, new characters, and we're not really doing callbacks to, like, past. So I think starting at this current season, you'll be completely fine.

[Justin]

Salt Lake City, you started season three because you have to see Jen Shaw get Flee the FBI, which is season two.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Taylor]

Jen Shaw's FBI. Are these incredible television.

[Sierra]

Yeah.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Justin]

Okay.

[Emily]

Okay, great.

[Sierra]

There's also only five seasons, so that's, like, not that much to watch.

[Emily]

It's not too much. Here's the thing. I'm shout out to the housewives, though, who are committing federal crimes and on television by their own volition, literally. Yeah. I'm like, I'm deeply fascinated by that.

[Sierra]

I feel like this could be a sketch. It's like, they. Right, and they're, like, on tv, and they're, like, just bragging about all their diamonds and their massive house and all their Chanel, and it's like, I swear.

[Nick]

I pay my taxes.

[Emily]

Yeah. I'm just like, what is. I remember. Do you guys remember. Gosh, Teresa buying the house, but then they couldn't furnish it because of whatever was going on with whatever federal charge charges. She and Joe, who is. Joe's deported, right?

[Sierra]

Yes, Right.

[Justin]

He's in Italy.

[Emily]

Lives in Italy.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Emily]

Yeah, he lives in Italy. Not a bad place to get deported, right?

[Taylor]

Not one of the words. Yeah.

[Nick]

And then Teresa got to take a picture with Taylor Swift. So, you know, is it all worth it?

[Sierra]

Is it all worth it? Maybe it is. She got super ripped in prison.

[Emily]

Yeah, she did. Her or Joe did.

[Sierra]

She did.

[Justin]

She became a bodybuilder.

[Emily]

She did.

[Justin]

For a minute.

[Emily]

For a minute. Oh, my gosh. Teresa. I got to do Watch what happens live with her. And I was a little starstruck. I was a little like, I can't believe I'm getting to meet her. And I think I felt like Teresa had a little bit of stranger danger up top because I was, like, so out of the loop on what was going on with the Housewives at the time. I did this episode with her. It was like, a couple years ago, and it wasn't till after I was like, oh, I think a lot of people seemingly don't fuck with her, and I don't. Maybe she was, like, guarded because she was like, am I one of those ones who don't? But I'm like, I don't. The latest. But, yeah, I got to do that with her. And it was a dream. I was like, I can't believe I'm getting to do this with freaking Teresa herself. Who flipped the table. Prostitution whore.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Garrett]

If you love Teresa, she's on this current season of House of Villains, and her and I love New York. Tiffany Pollard are about to go toe to toe in the next episode. I'm obsessed.

[Emily]

Okay, okay. I will have to watch. I will have to watch. Because I was a big. I love New York fans, truly. Do you guys see that? Every time I see the meme of her on the bed with her arms crossed and pouting Tiffany, I'm like, it's. It's always perfect. Every single time.

[Sierra]

Yeah, it encompasses the mood perfectly.

[Garrett]

There's no misuse of that.

[Taylor]

She is an icon, and she is a legend ever.

[Emily]

Okay. I need to see those two go toe to toe, because I'm like, I don't know who's going to win that battle, because to Teresa's savage. And she'll never let you forget she's from Patterson, New Jersey, which meant nothing to me until she said it so much. I'm like, that must be the hood.

[Sierra]

But I'm scared of Patterson, New Jersey.

[Emily]

I was like, I all of a sudden know I should be scared of Patterson, New Jersey. I'm going to watch. Thank you very much. I'm watch Martha talk her shit tonight.

[Sierra]

And put on Bluey.

[Emily]

It's Bluey for Bluey.

[Sierra]

Bluey.

[Emily]

People talk about, like, adults talk about bluey all the time. Like, adults who don't have. Have children. It's a thing for their dog. Louis having a moment. But maybe even though I don't know, I think I. No, I'm not. I'm. I'm not necessarily. I'm not an animated girl. I love my. Like, I. That's why I do. I did love the Housewives because I am very like, let me see what's actually happening in people's lives, Whether it's a little scripted or not. I'm like, let's see what's going on.

[Nick]

It's more staged Than scripted.

[Emily]

I feel it staged. Correct.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Emily]

Did you guys. I used to. I mean, this. My love affair that I've since fallen off from with reality TV did start with Laguna Beach.

[Sierra]

Yes.

[Emily]

That was my.

[Garrett]

That's where I started too.

[Emily]

That was Laguna Beach. Was it for me. I. Man, you. I was obsessed. Elsie Christen. I remember. I can't remember.

[Justin]

Steve.

[Emily]

Ben. Whitney was the Hills. Yes. What was. Gosh, I'm trying to remember the time I thought this was so funny. It's probably so wrong now, so bear with me. And meaning wrong. Wrong morally. But someone, like, fucked somebody's boyfriend and then was like, apologizing for. And then in the apology, whoever they were apologizing was like, say you're a slut. Say you're a slut.

[Garrett]

MTV Reality. For just one.

[Sierra]

For just one episode of something. I want them to go back and I want them to just do what we used to do in the early 2000 thousands and just see.

[Nick]

See if it landed. Yeah. Put it out there.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Taylor]

Get the Jersey tour.

[Emily]

Really let some fly. I will say it's true. I'm like, there are so many things. We were just like, wow, that's crazy. And laugh about. And now we're like, that's terrible. But I did. I just thought that that was wild. I was like, well, she's apologizing already, which I like. It takes.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Emily]

Say your slut. I don't want to say I'm a slut.

[Sierra]

She's like, I'm practicing. I'm practicing gratitude. I cannot say that I'm a slut.

[Emily]

I'm a slut. I'm working on myself. But yeah. Anyway, I'm gonna. Guys, you got me. I'm gonna. I'm gonna get into. Come back and tell you all my. I have work to do. Can you believe. And a journal to journal in. I want to know what happens. I need to know what happens in your book. And after or before you watch tip. I just need to know what your TIP drill experience is. Let me know.

[Sierra]

Okay, I will. No, I'll keep you updated. For sure. I'll. Videos or pictures or voice. Voice memos or something.

[Nick]

No voice memos.

[Emily]

Somehow, why is voice memo worse to me? I go, no, no, not a voice memo, please.

[Sierra]

No, it's always like.

[Nick]

You can always, like, hi, first.

[Sierra]

No, it's always like, okay, like, you're out of breath for some reason for doing the, like, voice memo. And it's like, why are you so out?

[Emily]

Why are you breathing? Just walking and doing a voice memo. Always. It's someone like, sorry, I'm just, I'm just walking down the. I'm like, why does it sound sound like this?

[Taylor]

It's very serial killer. It's always very.

[Sierra]

And then when the other person keeps it, you're like, why'd you keep that? Yeah, you know, like I know.

[Taylor]

I love to keep a voice memo to stress someone out. It's awesome.

[Emily]

I keep them too. I. I've kept them. Someone were like, I'm not even particularly close to. You're about to do a job. And they were talking about someone. It wasn't even bad. It was basically like, we're getting a lot of money to do this job. Like, let's rob this like air quote, rob this bank. And I was like, I kept the note. And then I immediately was like, oh my God, we're not that close. I just like keep the notes. I just, I do this. I always do. It's a default reaction. I'm not going to like play this for anyone while you, while you basically say this job is done. I knee jerk reaction to just save it. But I do save them too. I never play them back. I don't know. I save all of them. I keep all of them.

[Sierra]

Yeah. That is interesting people.

[Nick]

I think it's because they delete themselves. And I think you never know if you get to it right away whether it's going to go away or not. And I feel like that created the habit of people saving it because it were like you, you weren't sure how much time you had to listen to said note. So I just like it.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Nick]

It like it created a lot of uncertainty and now everyone has blackmail on each other.

[Emily]

Everybody has blackmail now. But yeah, never leave a paper trail. But now we're just like leaving literal voice evidence of ourselves. We're all basically wearing wires or something. Yeah, yeah.

[Taylor]

What is the duration quote? She's like, say it, forget it, write it, regret it.

[Justin]

Isn't that what she said something?

[Taylor]

Yeah, something like that.

[Emily]

I like that. That's the updated like gangsters.

[Nick]

We had so much fun chatting with you and we hope that you'll want to come back and you know, after you do your homework obviously and give us some more hot takes.

[Emily]

I will, I will do my guys. You're shutting me down a path and I'm here for it.

[Nick]

There we go. Thank you. I had some where could if. I'm sure most people already know where to follow you and consume all your content. But if they do not, where can people follow you and enjoy all the Great things that you're doing.

I'm glad we got AO watching Salt Lake City.

[Justin]

Yeah, I feel like I should publish my master sheet because I made you one for Salt Lake City way back when and I'm sure you didn't look.

[Nick]

At it, but I definitely looked at it.

[Justin]

It has every episode that anybody should watch.

[Taylor]

I think it could change lives yeah.

[Nick]

Yeah. Why don't you post it?

[Justin]

Yeah. But basically, because season three is the best launching pad, like I said. But there are, like, little bits before.

[Nick]

So just for the audience, explain what you made.

[Justin]

So, basically, before, when we first started talking about season four last year, I sent Nicholas. I was like, just in case you ever want to watch Salt Lake City, here's. I think it was, like, six episodes to watch.

[Nick]

When you were trying to get me to get into.

[Justin]

I was trying to get you to get into. And it was, like, six episodes pre season four to, like, make you want to watch it. And we got there.

[Nick]

I just had to pick up season four.

[Sierra]

Yeah. I don't. Neither of us have watched before season four.

[Nick]

I have never seen Jen Shaw get arrested.

[Justin]

Season three is, like, the best season, but then season two has her being arrested.

[Taylor]

To watch Jen Shaw get arrested on television and then spend an entire next season victimizing herself and just screaming at everyone is crazy. Like, the best television in the entire world. Like, she is evil.

[Nick]

If you could ask Jen Shaw one question, what would you ask her?

[Justin]

Girl, what were you thinking?

[Garrett]

How dare you?

[Taylor]

Do you feel bad? I would. Erica Girardi.

[Sierra]

Her.

[Taylor]

I would be like, do you feel bad for the people that you scammed?

[Justin]

The victims.

[Taylor]

The victims.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Taylor]

And then she'll probably victimize herself. That's the thing. I know if she goes back on Salt Lake City, she's gonna be like, I.

[Sierra]

She'll be like, but do they feel bad for me?

[Taylor]

Yeah, she's gonna find a way to victimize herself.

[Justin]

She's gonna go back on Salt Lake City.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Justin]

I think she has to.

[Taylor]

I think it's gonna be like, you guys all betrayed.

[Justin]

She, like, love everybody on the current season, but it's like, she made Salt Lake City the show that it was because she dominated the cast so much.

[Nick]

I know.

[Sierra]

Well, there's.

[Garrett]

I don't think we need to go back to that.

[Taylor]

Exactly. I think we're done. I think we're done.

[Justin]

It is. But, like, good tv.

[Garrett]

I love Ron.

[Nick]

Do you want her back, or do you think she'll come back?

[Justin]

I think she'll come back, too. I think she's going to Teresa Giudice it.

[Taylor]

I don't know.

[Justin]

Or Erica Girardi. Erica Jane. She's still on Beverly Hills, and people.

[Nick]

Love not to condone what Teresa did, but I think it's a lot different. Stealing from the government and stealing from old people.

[Justin]

Yeah, for sure.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Justin]

And Jen is a crit in terms.

[Nick]

Of, like, the audience's appetite. Appetite for forgiveness.

[Sierra]

I also don't think there is anyone she could replace that we would be okay. I mean, Bronwyn carried this episode.

[Taylor]

The, like, I love her.

[Sierra]

The fight between her and Lisa was so petty. But also, she ate.

[Garrett]

Yep.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Justin]

When Bronwyn specifically said she was like, Heather saying Bronwyn said this. You're saying Bron said that? Well, Bronwyn says I was like.

[Sierra]

And it was like whenever she came back from the bathroom and caught Lisa calling Heather, it was like she caught her child. Child, like, trying to sneak candy. You know, it was like the way.

[Nick]

Shopping on her credit card or something.

[Sierra]

Yeah. The way that Lisa was like, oh, no. I was just. I was just calling to say that I missed her. And it's like, that's not why you called. You called because y'all were arguing about why she wasn't yelling.

[Justin]

And it was right. Like, let's rest the case. That was a vindictive move.

[Garrett]

1,000%, because Lisa Barlow was being vindictive.

[Sierra]

All she had to do was go.

[Garrett]

To her room, bring Meredith with her, and call Heather. She wanted to.

[Nick]

Exactly. Infamous for, like, testing people's, like, tolerance.

[Taylor]

It's iconic, seeing what she can get.

[Garrett]

Away with, but then also acting like, I did nothing and you're accusing me.

[Justin]

And the switch up was wild because then she goes, I don't want to be in the middle of this. And it's like, you started it. Start the argument we're talking about.

[Sierra]

I also will say, I love Bronwyn. I love everything we've seen of her. Her relationship, her family, her dynamic, everything so far. I didn't love the conversation that she had with Todd post Lisa fight. It felt very like dad getting on to, like, it was like he was scolding her. She wasn't like, it wasn't a conversation. Yeah, it wasn't a conversation. It was just him being like, I'm not putting. Putting up with this. This has to end. Like, I'm done.

[Justin]

She's like, okay, it was the night in Shining Asshole.

[Garrett]

But I will. I will give him credit in the sense that I am like, they just paid what, for a private jet, a $20,000 a night place, and you're coming here starting drama on our wedding anniversary somewhere else.

[Justin]

Right before, too. He flew here just to fly with you guys.

[Taylor]

Later, she put on a whole, like, costume to go pick him up at the airport. Now they're acting a mess.

[Justin]

He said before, he was like, I don't want anything to go down on this trip. If it does, they're leaving or I'm leaving.

[Sierra]

Yeah.

[Justin]

But, like, so he made the ground rules.

[Taylor]

That's one of my favorite parts, I think he has is when people are like, we're not going to fight on this trip. If there's any fighting, you're leaving. It's incredible.

[Justin]

I think he's a good house husband because I think him being like, she needs to leave or stop. And then he went in front of the camera to talk to John. John. To be like, you're so funny. Do you think John's just drinking his Prescott?

[Nick]

Do you think the husbands enjoy doing these scenes, or do you think they're begrudgingly doing it?

[Justin]

They used to film more scenes. They used to have a ton of scenes, like, almost every other episode of the Husbands.

[Garrett]

But even this episode, like, I feel like Todd. No, but like, Seth loves.

[Nick]

He loves.

[Justin]

Would like to eat the whole bath.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Nick]

I absolutely love that. Bron and Todd thought, you know what? We're going to do some jewelry shopping in front of our friends while we're on vacation, and we're going to buy, like, a $5 million.

[Justin]

It was a flex.

[Nick]

That's. And they're so. They're like, real rich. This is the type of housewife I want. I don't want Lisa Barlow, like, 18 different jobs and just hustling people and, like, is she in debt or is she rich? I don't know.

[Justin]

Like, I do want to know.

[Nick]

Brin's rich. Rich. That's a real pj. They're flying. That's.

[Garrett]

Who do you think is richer, her or Heather Dubrow?

[Nick]

Bro, he's tech.

[Justin]

He's tech money.

[Nick]

He's a tech daddy.

[Sierra]

Old money.

[Nick]

Yes. The guy invented palm pilots. That's like, kind of the person who invented the iPhone back in the day.

[Taylor]

Yeah, the Todd father.

[Justin]

I will say Bronwyn is getting a little bit of flack after this episode of, like, why? And I don't think so. I love Brahman. But people are saying, like, she's being elitist. And, like, she had a lot.

[Garrett]

That's what the show is.

[Justin]

But she had a lot of sound bites of like, well, I'm buying your friendship now. Or like, you know, like, those different comments of, like, you're going to talk to me when I just paid for you to go on a private jet. And it's, like, valid maybe, like, is she weighing the money above? Like, someone confronting.

[Taylor]

I think she should make them feel poor. I think that these women need to feel poor once in a while in their lives.

[Justin]

I agree. I love Bronwyn.

[Taylor]

That's here's the thing. Like, they do need to be humbled. Be like, you're not all shit, Lisa Barlow.

[Garrett]

And Bronwyn's, like, sweet, but she's also direct and whatnot. So I also. All of these qualities that some of the other women just don't have. And you want to flaunt your wealth. Well, look at Bronwyn by a $1.5 million.

[Taylor]

I love it when a rich person, like, has to feel bad about not having as much money as they thought. It's incredible.

[Nick]

Also, like, bro. And can still, like, have fun and take herself not too seriously.

[Taylor]

Like, yeah.

[Nick]

Somewhere along the line, Lisa Barlow forgot what a joke was.

[Taylor]

Right?

[Sierra]

You know, did y'all understand Seth's comment of you judge a straight man by their wives?

[Nick]

No.

[Justin]

I watched it twice. I did watch it back. So I was like. Because then Todd goes, well, a w back. Like, the wives. Something about their coverage.

[Sierra]

Because they're like, they out kicked their coverage. And Todd's like, they out kicked their coverage. It's like, of course he's saying that. He's a billionaire.

[Nick]

I'll kick. Your coverage is like, a very, like, common thing.

[Justin]

What does that mean?

[Nick]

It's like, we. We married someone who's hotter than us.

[Sierra]

Out of.

[Garrett]

Out of your league.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Garrett]

It's not the same.

[Sierra]

But the. You judge a straight man by their wives.

[Nick]

I didn't understand that.

[Justin]

The weird part was because also, Meredith was the one that started the rumors about Angie K's husband being gay. So it was like, are you saying that to, like, just make him feel more comfortable? But then. And it's, like, also spotlighting him indirectly.

[Sierra]

And he's like, cheers.

[Nick]

Yeah. But Todd was quick to be like, you know, guys, I actually am really super rich. And you guys. Well, was it Lisa who wanted us to know that her husband's a CEO?

[Justin]

Yeah, it was for. Let me.

[Sierra]

He doesn't care about Justin. Whatever. He's a CEO. Like, we'll be fine going to this.

[Nick]

Like, what does that even mean?

[Sierra]

This trip because he's a CEO.

[Garrett]

It's giving Danielle in last season of Summer House, and she was like, I.

[Sierra]

Create an app CEO.

[Garrett]

I don't care if she's crying, right?

[Nick]

Like, I'm a CEO. I watch housewives. Like, what?

[Garrett]

Like, And I don't make people cry.

[Taylor]

How about that?

[Sierra]

How do we think Heather. I mean, she wasn't in this episode at all, really. Besides the, like, FaceTime.

[Nick]

I missed Mary.

[Sierra]

Missed Mary, too.

[Taylor]

Thanks for saying that.

[Nick]

Yeah. Why couldn't Mary come?

[Garrett]

She's spending the weekend with her son. Question mark.

[Emily]

Her son.

[Nick]

Her son lives in the bedroom.

[Taylor]

Oh, my God. Her and Robin.

[Justin]

She didn't try. But the excuse. Yeah, it was.

[Garrett]

She said it was a question. She was like, I'm spending the weekend with my son.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Garrett]

Literally anywhere else but be on that trip with you guys. Thank you.

[Justin]

I do want to know more about Mary's family, though. Like, the dynamic now. Cause I feel like it's changed. We don't see, like, Robert Sr. On camera, but then, like, the son lives there, but it just stays in the room.

[Taylor]

Robert Jr. Being married. Yeah. And then Mary not acknowledging that they're married is so interesting to me.

[Nick]

When they don't invite a housewife on a trip. Like, they didn't invite Heather. Cause, like, Mary's just Mary.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Don't they usually, like, flashback to, like, Salt Lake and like, you know, follow, like, whatever. Like Heather, for example, like, being bored.

[Justin]

You're right. So, like, in the next episode or two, it's bound maybe to of like, Mary and Heather are going to lunch or Heather going to lunch with someone else to be like, how do you feel about Britney with Britney? There you go.

[Garrett]

I watched the after show and it was really interesting. Heather's obviously like, of course. Like, I miss my friends and I'm so glad that they called me because I wanted to know if they were thinking about me or just thought that I. It's okay if I'm not a part of the group. And then they go to Britney and Britney's. Like, I didn't even get a call.

[Nick]

Can I say something? I missed Britney this episode.

[Sierra]

I love that.

[Nick]

I really did. I just felt like I getting enough of Britney's, like, terrible life choices, you know? And I really miss her. Yes.

[Justin]

I'm like, there's more to her life.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Justin]

Like, the kids and all that. I want to know.

[Nick]

I need more of her conducting her friends in a living room. Stop talking. Yeah.

[Sierra]

Until right now, I didn't know she wasn't in the episode or on the trip.

[Nick]

Oh, I. I did. I felt halfway through the episode, I was like, what is missing? And I was like, it's.

[Justin]

I like it.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Nick]

There is nothing more like, mean girl, like, than talking about a trip you should go on while also on a trip that you're on when you. Bronwyn setting up this trip. She flies him on a pj. And then Lisa is sitting with Meredith and the husbands, and they're all like, we should go on. Where should we go on our trip? Like, that's the most mean girl bully shit to be on the trip. And then talking about a trip where you're not going to invite the other people on the trip to this trip.

[Justin]

I would have opened that dorm and, like, jump out.

[Taylor]

Can we talk about Lisa's take on Italian food being too fresh?

[Sierra]

What is that?

[Justin]

She doesn't cook.

[Taylor]

Lisa eats when she's.

[Emily]

She is Wendy from Wendy.

[Justin]

George Foreman last year.

[Taylor]

Yeah, but to call. She's like, that's. It's just too fresh for me.

[Justin]

She made bacon or something.

[Taylor]

It's insane.

[Justin]

She can make a. A microwaved hot dog.

[Sierra]

I've actually heard from several people that the food in Italy isn't good. I've never been. I'm sure it is absolutely amazing. But good. I like the pizza better here.

[Nick]

If you're talking about people who go to Olive Garden for their Italian food, they will probably tell you that Italian food in Italy.

[Taylor]

Okay, maybe don't throw Olive Garden astray. Some people have layers.

[Justin]

I've never been.

[Sierra]

And Nick was serving up breadsticks.

[Nick]

I know how the sausage is made at the Olive Garden.

[Taylor]

We need to talk about this at length sometime.

[Nick]

I haven't been back since.

[Justin]

I've never been.

[Taylor]

I do love it. It's family meal.

[Sierra]

I went to McDonald's.

[Justin]

Oh, you did?

[Taylor]

My mom worked.

[Justin]

See, that's character developing.

[Sierra]

Yeah, but he got fired for eating all the chicken nuggets.

[Taylor]

Oh, no, that's realistic.

[Nick]

That's not true. I did steal the chicken nuggets, but I quit.

[Justin]

Yeah, Yeah, I did it after you quit or quit.

[Nick]

No. Like, every time I would, like, walk back to go to the bathroom, I'd just open up that chicken nugget drawer and pop in a couple, you know?

[Justin]

Do you think they had, like, security camera footage of you?

[Sierra]

Like, they didn't have cameras back in the day.

[Taylor]

I want to see Lisa Barlow do one of those things where she, like, works at a Wendy's for a day.

[Justin]

She's got to eventually. Yeah. She's the queen of Wendy's sponsorships. If you haven't seen.

[Taylor]

So, like, imagine Lisa Barlow is taking your order out of Wendy's.

[Justin]

I did find out that Seth is the SVP of merchandising, an extreme value source seeing at big lots.

[Sierra]

That's his job.

[Nick]

Is that Meredith's husband?

[Justin]

Meredith's husband.

[Nick]

He's always on the go.

[Justin]

Yeah. And we could connect the dots, and.

[Sierra]

Maybe he had to leave the trip for.

[Justin]

Maybe that's why he left the trip early is some big lots. Like liquidation. Yeah.

[Taylor]

Because it's not just Big lots, though. It's like multiple companies that he liquidates. His current contract just seems to be under Big lots. Right.

[Sierra]

Yeah. Interesting.

[Nick]

But it.

[Justin]

It is interesting because, like, Meredith and Seth have been on the storyline before where it's like, we're separated. Like, you're. No, you're never there for me. You're always working. And like, Meredith at one point was like, sleeping with other men. Maybe it was unclear. And then now she's saying, well, like, it's feeling like Detroit again or whatever city.

[Nick]

She said, yeah, but what's going on in Detroit?

[Justin]

She might have said a different city, but, like, they separated. Yeah, they separated.

[Garrett]

They were having turmoil. So that's the whole thing. When they come back together in the first season, they kind of talk about their relationship repairing.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Is this them introducing, like, storyline for Meredith?

[Justin]

That's what I was thinking, that they might separate or divorce later on.

[Taylor]

It seems like if they're trying to introduce a storyline for her that seems like it would be. Or Ms. Versus.

[Justin]

Well, the Batman is still happening.

[Taylor]

Yeah. But Meredith famously does not like people talking about her marriage.

[Nick]

Facts.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Nick]

So her husband's on the show talking about their marriage.

[Justin]

I did think it was like Seth had to know that he had to leave before the trip happened. Right. I feel like he just saved that little bit in peace for, like, the cameras once they got there and was like, okay. By the way.

[Sierra]

It did seem a little bit of like a staged.

[Nick]

It did feel. This episode did feel a little produced, to be honest. Yeah.

[Justin]

I love it though. I was entertained.

[Nick]

Is it because the husbands are playing along?

[Justin]

Well, we're not watching Salt Lake City for a real, normal, relatable life. We're watching it for the characters and the scenes of you need to leave.

[Taylor]

I feel like Salt Lake City is almost a parody of Housewives and it's completely self aware of all of. That's what makes it so good, is that it's so aware of every single house. Housewife. Like what?

[Justin]

Tropes.

[Taylor]

Tropes.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Taylor]

It's aware of all of the tropes and it's just leaning in in this perfect, like, funny way. That is incredible.

[Sierra]

I don't know. I'll be honest. I think Reunion part one of OC Was more entertaining than.

[Justin]

Oh, well, I'll never say that. But it was entertaining.

[Sierra]

You'll never say that.

[Justin]

Nothing's ever more entertaining than Salt Lake City.

[Nick]

Well, I mean, overall, sure, but like, they have so many horror episodes for.

[Sierra]

A first part reunion.

[Justin]

They definitely heard Nick on the Vile Files say they're gonna save that for the third part.

[Nick]

And they were like, no, rearrange what they did.

[Garrett]

I was confused, though, because I'm kind of like, what's. What's going to be in the.

[Nick]

I was curious, like, what are we going to talk about?

[Justin]

It was a good reunion, though, that part. Well, because then we had, like, the Katie of it all. Like, that was wild.

[Sierra]

I did not, like, whatsoever. Them coming after Katie for, like, what, wanting her to admit that at some point in her life, she, like, wasn't the best version of herself. And, like, had to, like, they were trying to paint her as, like, this bad mother. And it's like they wanted to paint.

[Nick]

Her as a Karen.

[Justin]

They were equating the paparazzi rumor to, like, her past.

[Garrett]

But even then, the giant contradiction of Heather bringing up this stuff where she's like, I don't like that people are digging up things on other people. It's like, even if it's public knowledge, you know, we haven't talked about it on the show.

[Nick]

Yeah, she's platforming.

[Justin]

I didn't even know. I didn't know any of that.

[Nick]

She was like, they're talking about it on a blog.

[Sierra]

It's everywhere. No, it's not.

[Garrett]

Heather gets, like, updates to her email from this blog because I didn't hear about it at all. And I follow so many Bravo pages.

[Nick]

That's Housewives 101, right? Like, you talk about the rumors. Rumor on the show, and you bring the rumor from, like, the deep Internet or the blogs onto the show, and then you just kind of go after your. Your castmates.

[Sierra]

It just felt really gross that Emily is breaking down Katie's past and being like, why legal? Like, why did you have. Why didn't you have legal custody of your kids? Well, like, why didn't you. Okay, I get physical custody, but why you signed away your rights to your kids. It's like, obviously she went through and she answered a bunch of. And, like, she was homeless, she said, and she was not gonna make her kids be homeless, too. And it's like, why are you making her say all of this and relive this at a reunion?

[Justin]

What are we doing? It was giving that, like, Heather and Emily sat down and read through the documents, dug things up just so that they can weaponize it in case something was set.

[Sierra]

Yeah.

[Taylor]

My issue with, like, these kinds of reunions is I feel like there's so much stuff that they're saving for the reunion that would be so much juicier and More fun if they would just say it on the show. Because on a reunion, it's like, you say it. And he's like, wow. Anything else to say? They argue for a couple minutes, and then it's like, okay, let's move on. And I'm like, no, I want to see this, Fester. I want to see this episode. I want to see this, like, I want to see it go down the gossip chain and become 10 different things and have a big blow up. I don't want it, like, you know what I mean? I feel like they're saving it too much.

[Nick]

Yeah, but it did. It felt like Katie really had no idea this was coming.

[Justin]

No.

[Nick]

You could tell how uncomfortable she was in the moment. We're, like, bringing up something from a.

[Justin]

Decade ago because we went from the paparazzi so that. That's what we're saying. Like, they thought it was going to be the same thing.

[Nick]

Andy giving Heather and Emily the floor to tell their side of the story, which was kind of fucking Heather's like.

[Sierra]

I read all of the. Like, the police's. I read it. They spoke in the blogs. I read that. So, like, that's what they're saying.

[Garrett]

So the police are lying.

[Sierra]

Which, I mean, her story, it didn't really make a lot of sense because her. When she explained it happened all on the interstate. She pulled off, he got behind the car, and then Heather's like, well, no.

[Justin]

He was at his house.

[Sierra]

It was at his house. And she's like, yeah, that is true. The neighbors. Well, I didn't see any neighbors universe. And it's like, well, I thought we were on the interstate. So, like, it's definitely confusing, but also.

[Garrett]

Who gives a shit?

[Sierra]

This was 10 years ago. Like, why are we bringing up something like, you just need.

[Nick]

Because you don't accuse Heather of calling.

[Garrett]

A paparazzi, but it's like this, like, fake moral high ground that they have. Because then in the finale, when Tamara's trying to expose Shannon for digging up stuff about Gina and still puts it on the show anyways, it's like, Emily's like, no, you need to tell Gina right now because this is so shitty for her to do. And then you both just sat there and just unleashed all of this private information about Katie that, like, wasn't warranted, not necessary.

[Sierra]

I definitely think Tamra got the hint from the audience that she has been too hard.

[Garrett]

She's never been this quiet on a reunion.

[Sierra]

Silence.

[Nick]

I forgot she was in the episode.

[Garrett]

No, she's like, I don't want to.

[Justin]

Be well, when she kept saying, like, I'm sorry, I knew. I'm like, I, I. And it was like she was not really apologizing, but trying to sound like she was apologizing. So one. One foot forward, I guess. Maybe.

[Sierra]

I guess. And I mean, I guess we'll see. Emily made a good point of being like, gina was able to forgive you, Shannon. Are you able to forgive Tamara? And while I wish Tamara would have been like, listen, I am just sorry. Yeah, she couldn't say those words. So I don't really know what Shannon is forgiving.

[Nick]

What is more publicly embarrassing, Being caught stalking your rival online or being caught promoting yourself with a finsta?

[Justin]

Do you know this?

[Sierra]

Break it down.

[Justin]

So basically, on one side, the first thing that Nick said at an event that Katie wasn't invited to, but other housewives were, Emily is sitting at this, like, dinner table. Her back to the camera, but on.

[Nick]

Her phone, you can see her back to a fan.

[Justin]

A fan. Like on Emily Clone, if you zoom in, you can see that she's, like, stalking Katie's page.

[Sierra]

Is she stalking Katie's page or did Katie just post something and she's going through her phone?

[Nick]

It could have been anything.

[Justin]

She was looking at her content.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Justin]

So, I mean, okay, there's a chance that within the five seconds, someone took a.

[Nick]

Maybe, maybe Katie called her and that she has, you know, Katie's picture.

[Sierra]

Does Emily follow Katie on Instagram?

[Emily]

Ooh, good question.

[Justin]

That's a good question.

[Nick]

She bet she does now. She's like, quick follow.

[Justin]

It isn't a call profile, though. So someone matched it up to something that Katie had posted. So she was looking at Katie's Instagram account, whether it was on her feed or whatever. Let's see if she's following.

[Taylor]

I'm pro lurking.

[Garrett]

She could be in a conversation with somebody and somebody was like, oh, like, so what's going on? Or what's happening? You're like, let's pull up, let's pull up.

[Nick]

Katie, you definitely, like, stalk your rod.

[Justin]

She does not follow Katie. So she somehow went out of her way to see this post.

[Taylor]

That's real as fuck. I gotta respect the game.

[Sierra]

And I as a lurker. And the other thing is, people are accusing Gina of commenting under her own post.

[Justin]

So basically, a blog posted a photo of, like, the O.C. woman. And from Gina's account, we'll leave it at that. From Gina's account, there was a comment left that said, love my gal, Gina. Best daughter, best mommy, best friend, Heart, heart, heart.

[Nick]

From her actual.

[Justin]

From her actual verified she.

[Nick]

Maddie Pruitt. That's Manny Pruitt. Is that the verb? Maddie Pruitt. She famously, like, did that after her date with Peter.

[Sierra]

She like commented on her page, like, you're so genuine and real date.

[Justin]

We love your story.

[Nick]

Yeah. And.

[Justin]

Yeah, well, so basically her account. Her account commented this and people were like, oh, she forgot to log out of her finsta. So then she commented on posts, like kind of at a calling this out. Basically saying, if you want the real scoop, I'll give it to you. My dad goes on my account and deletes mean comments when I make posts because he doesn't like the thought of me having to see hurtful things. He forgot to switch back to his account before writing that. I love him for writing this. Although in reality, I don't give a fuck what any of you people have to say.

[Nick]

What it doesn't explain is why is she have access to this fan account that she's logged into?

[Justin]

No, no, no.

[Sierra]

It was her account.

[Garrett]

It was her own account. She was commenting on a fan posted photo of the cast.

[Justin]

You have a point though. So she said. She was saying that her dad is.

[Nick]

Deleting comments when she says, what was the last. No, the last part though.

[Sierra]

He forgot to switch back to his account.

[Nick]

There you go.

[Justin]

So she was saying that he was logged into her account.

[Nick]

So he's logged into his account on her phone.

[Sierra]

No, no. What is wrong with you?

[Taylor]

I'm confused. This is confusing me. Okay, okay, I lost the plot.

[Sierra]

Explain this to me. It does make sense. It makes sense. He logs into her.

[Nick]

Gina's dad.

[Sierra]

Correct.

[Nick]

Okay.

[Sierra]

Allegedly on his phone. He has his phone. And he logs into Gina's account on Instagram.

[Nick]

Gina's dad. Gina's dad logs in.

[Sierra]

Yes.

[Nick]

To his famous real housewife daughter's Instagram.

[Sierra]

Yes. And he deletes negative comments so that his daughter won't read them.

[Justin]

He's protecting his daughter because she's lurking through the blog post.

[Sierra]

And so he's like, I don't want her to see that. I don't want her to see that. I'm deleting those. And then he's like, oh, a picture of Gina on this fan. Love my gal Gina. She's the best daughter and the best mommy post. Oh, frick. He forgot to switch out and get back into his.

[Nick]

Where did the comment that came from the fan account come into the equation?

[Sierra]

They commented it was a comment on.

[Taylor]

A fan account post.

[Justin]

Her account commented on the fan post.

[Nick]

Gotcha.

[Justin]

But the fan post wasn't talking about Gina. So it looks like she, like, forgot to switch out of a finsta that she would have otherwise been hyping up herself.

[Taylor]

I think we should just acknowledge how was all the time.

[Nick]

What was the caption that her dad.

[Sierra]

Love my. Well, now that I'm looking at it, Suspect love my. It is just interesting.

[Nick]

How many emojis did dad use?

[Emily]

5 hearts.

[Sierra]

It's just many hearts. Just hearts.

[Justin]

She said. Well, her account said, love my gal, Gina. Best daughter, best mommy, best friend. Heart, heart, heart, heart, heart.

[Nick]

I would have loved for Gina in that moment to be like, guys, we all do this shit.

[Justin]

They probably do.

[Nick]

I know.

[Taylor]

I think it's funnier for her to say her dad did it.

[Sierra]

The only part that is you want the scoop.

[Nick]

And they make up a more unbelievable lie.

[Taylor]

Yeah, that's the beauty of Housewives.

[Justin]

The dad.

[Taylor]

Maybe they don't always be honest. I want them to lie.

[Sierra]

Is gal G a L? I. My dad just wouldn't. And maybe we have different dads, but like, gal. I don't.

[Garrett]

But it's like, that's an older term though.

[Nick]

Is it?

[Garrett]

I don't like my best gal pals. Like, that's such like an old.

[Taylor]

Means something different now.

[Garrett]

And the first thing he comments is best daughter. Why would she say about herself on a group picture, I'm the best daughter?

[Sierra]

She might lead with like, best mommy, best friend, best daughter. That's true. This was written by a dad.

[Garrett]

This was written by a dad.

[Sierra]

You really.

[Nick]

You believe Gina?

[Sierra]

Yeah, okay. I'm believing Gina. I absolutely believe Gina. This was her dad.

[Nick]

Yeah, Not a chance.

[Justin]

I'm just like, your dad never made this mistake before.

[Nick]

You know, there's zero chance her dad has access.

[Sierra]

That's what I'm like, question, how many other posts is her dad commenting on? Like, is there like, feedback of like, oh, her dad comments on a bunch of posts like this?

[Nick]

She does not have her dad logged into her Instagram.

[Justin]

Not anymore.

[Nick]

Delete comments.

[Sierra]

But also, like, she is right. Like, who gives a. This is crazy that this is like, people are like, oh, my God, I.

[Nick]

Can'T believe she didn't log out. It's like, that is. That is. That is house. That is. The whole purpose of the Housewives community is to art.

[Garrett]

Her dad does have an account. It's SEMA 777. So it does look like a fan account. And it's Gene and Susan Archer, her parents. So it's very likely he has a.

[Sierra]

Lot of emojis on his own account.

[Nick]

Zero chance. He's got her username and password to delete comments.

[Justin]

Someone responded to her comment saying, your dad is your social media manager, question mark.

[Nick]

Come on, guys.

[Sierra]

Listen, it's. The thing is, why would she give her dad her login? Like, I would never, ever. Not exactly. She's not, like, flirting in the DM nudie picture. She doesn't want her dad to see it.

[Justin]

Oh, my God. Can you imagine? Yeah, I wasn't even going there.

[Nick]

I just mean.

[Sierra]

And why give my mom my, like, login and be like, sure, if you want to.

[Nick]

Like, you would. Because you have an amazing relationship with your mom, and you're very close, and yet you haven't.

[Garrett]

But so she wouldn't, would you? What about liability? Would you not give your dad your account if he needed to go on there and fix something?

[Nick]

Sure, if I needed to. But the point is, I've never had to.

[Justin]

I just feel like my best friend is a better.

[Garrett]

Maybe that's her best. That's her relationship with her daughter.

[Nick]

You guys don't know guys. Of course anything's possible.

[Garrett]

Families work for them.

[Sierra]

I think it was very sad that Emily had to explain what immunity. Immunity is to Jen, and it just makes me feel like Ryan truly does.

[Nick]

Not tell her it's not sad anymore. No, it's on Jen. I'm sorry. At some point, you have to look in the mirror. I mean, it is also. It's terrifying. Honestly, Jen's a perfect example. Just how easy it is for us to lie to ourselves and how scary it is. Like, after we lie to ourselves for so long, how committed to the lie we are that we. We'd rather just live the lie rather than face the fact that maybe we were wrong.

[Justin]

Like, yeah, the details also were kind of, like, didn't really make sense. Like, he didn't have a BofA account, but he needed a BofA account to pull the money out. And then he didn't really know where the millions came from. And it was like.

[Nick]

But what's scary? After talking to Emily Baker last week, it's just like, she's not married to this guy right now, and at this point, all she is is just, you know, a naive girlfriend who has got a bad boyfriend. The moment she says, I do, then she's at risk of, like, becoming a criminal.

[Justin]

Gina said it really.

[Nick]

Jail.

[Justin]

Gina said it really well. You're putting yourself in the line of fire to marry this man.

[Garrett]

But even with the. Literally, with her own comment, too, where she was saying that, like, she was, like, taking the blame for Ryan Being involved in this case where it's like, Ryan did what he did regardless. It may be more on a platform because you're on a show, but he didn't get busted or need to work with the FBI because you're on a television show.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Nick]

She's not even willing to consider he.

[Sierra]

Did anything else that sounded like something he told her a thousand percent. It's giving. Like, Zach, Brian, Brianna La Paglia, where he's like, well, this was your fault because you're on this TV show. So now eyes are on me. Like, if you hadn't been on this TV show, then we probably just would have.

[Nick]

And he's given her the. Everyone's out to get us. No one understands.

[Garrett]

Us against the world.

[Nick]

Us against the world. Bravo doesn't have your best interest. Why would you believe any of them?

[Taylor]

Bonnie and K, which, like, that movie famously ended.

[Justin]

It was a good ending, though.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Nick]

They both. They all died.

[Taylor]

Died. Yeah.

[Nick]

Unfortunately.

[Taylor]

It's just, like, sad to see her, like. I think it's just sad to see a relationship where it's like, you're so willing to, like, settle for someone that is doing these kinds of things for.

[Nick]

The sake of love.

[Taylor]

It's just, like.

[Emily]

It's. It's.

[Taylor]

I just. I just wish a lot of people were able to have an environment around them that allowed them to value themselves.

[Justin]

Nick has a point, though. Like, she kind of blew up her world for this man. So it's like, not even, like, settling. It's like. Well, I mean, it's a degree. It is settling, but, like, she's.

[Nick]

She's got to see it work.

[Justin]

She's blowing the world up for a man. That might not be the right avenue.

[Nick]

Yeah, well, that's what's scary, though, is she made such a big bet and, like. Like, she. To face the reality that she did what she did for this man is not something she's seemingly willing to face.

[Justin]

Yeah. I'm hoping that part two, there's more of, like, the Ryan conversation. Because, like, before the reunion, she was like, it's going to be a bloodbath. And I feel like we still don't have the bloodbath.

[Nick]

Did she try to offer, like, some bullshit explanation for, like, her even. Even.

[Garrett]

Even then I want to ask Emily about that as well, because I'm like, it's weird that he needed to use somebody else's bank account versus opening up his own if his business was legit.

[Justin]

Well, that's the part where I was like, maybe she doesn't know or she's trying to be careful with speaking. Or maybe we just haven't seen all of her explanation.

[Garrett]

Well, I mean, the girls did make a point, too, because they were. Shannon trying to protect her so much was like, can she even be talking about this? Because, like, I know he has immunity, but does he have full immunity? And, like, if she does say something.

[Justin]

I do wonder that actually, every time that there's an active lawsuit, I'm like.

[Nick]

Well, I mean, like Emily said to.

[Justin]

Us last week, like, used in court, everything.

[Nick]

Well, that. But you can have immunity from, say, the federal government, but that doesn't include the state government. And, like, you know, I don't know where the IRS is involved in this, but, like, they. They tend to want their money if you haven't properly paid them as well. So, like, you can have immunity. Immunity with one court, but still be at risk of, like, all the other legal entities who might come after you for your.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Alleged crimes.

[Justin]

And I do love when, like, housewives try to, like, throw shade, but then it doesn't land. So when Jen Pedrante was randomly. Was like, well, your husband's family funds your life. And then it went nowhere.

[Sierra]

Well, it ended.

[Garrett]

Well, it ended.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Justin]

Okay. Well, I guess we might see more.

[Sierra]

But, like, it was left on it. To be continued.

[Justin]

She was also waiting on that. She was like, I have that on my Rolodeck.

[Taylor]

It is funny when you can tell that they've, like, really rehearsed the line.

[Sierra]

Yeah. To like, let's just done their research for the reunion and they're just, like, coming in prepared with things about each person that they can bring up if they need to.

[Justin]

We're taking sharp turns to like things that are.

[Taylor]

I do respect, like, studiousness and prepping, you know, and that's someone who studies.

[Sierra]

And who works hard and who makes good grades. We do love all of that.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Justin]

So I do wonder how Alexis Bellino is going to, like, bend.

[Nick]

Oh, I hope she gets to show up.

[Taylor]

I hope she gets alive.

[Justin]

What is she.

[Nick]

I hear it goes badly for her.

[Taylor]

Good.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Taylor]

She deserves it.

[Justin]

Well, I mean, she's going around saying that, like, producers called her to be, like. And this is just, like, during the season, called her to be like, are you okay? Like, the world doesn't like you kind of vibe.

[Taylor]

So sucks to suck.

[Justin]

I wonder if she's going to come in, be, like, more victimy or if she's going to come in and be like, guys, I was wrong. No, it sounds crazy.

[Garrett]

It's her and Johnny J. Against the world.

[Nick]

Yeah, she's still out there, basically appreciating the same.

[Justin]

But she's backtracking on a lot of it. That's where it's like, kind of a new. Yeah.

[Nick]

What is she backtracking on?

[Justin]

Well, she's like, I regret ever bringing up the videos. Like, I never plan on, like, releasing those.

[Sierra]

Okay, but you did.

[Nick]

Sure. She's backtracking on, like, saying something she shouldn't have said, but she's not backtracking on. She's like, I shouldn't release the videos, but we're still. Right. And Shannon's.

[Justin]

And then she's also following Jolkin. Booster, so that's still funny. Yeah. Yeah.

[Taylor]

What's wrong with following Joel? Can Booster.

[Nick]

I think I still follow him.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Justin]

I don't follow him.

[Emily]

Yeah.

[Taylor]

Oh, have you seen Loot?

[Nick]

I'm not going to unfollow just because he got a little petty.

[Justin]

What Mary and Nick are trying to. No, I'm kidding.

[Nick]

No.

[Taylor]

Literally, what me and Joel are trying to say.

[Sierra]

Y'all are anti. Shannon could never.

[Taylor]

I'm pro.

[Justin]

Joel. I think Shannon also handled herself pretty well when they left, so.

[Garrett]

Well so far.

[Justin]

And Gina also backed her up, being like, look, that was in the past.

[Sierra]

Yeah.

[Justin]

Like, we've fixed that. So why do you care about that?

[Taylor]

It's insane to watch, like, Gina and Shannon just, like, interact with each other like normal human beings. And then for whatever reason, it's like.

[Justin]

And it makes sense for our Gina interview where she was like, I was not the closest to her, but by the end of the season, I was the closest to her.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Justin]

It was like.

[Taylor]

Well, it's like Gina is just coming into Shannon with, like, basic human empathy, which is, like, something that a lot of the other girls weren't doing.

[Nick]

They all definitely think they're better than Shannon, for sure.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Shannon is kind of this adorable person who, you know, can be a little messy sometimes, and they all make fun of her for it. Like, especially after meeting Shannon. She's, like, very endearing. I love.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Nick]

You know, she's a little. Kind of, like, I don't know, loose and with. I don't know how to say it, but, like, you can see how, like, snobby, sophisticated housewives would, like, look down on Shannon for kind of being a little, like, whatever, you know, just kind of, you know, she's chill. She's chill. Yeah. Not on top of her game, you know, in a way.

[Justin]

She's not, like, overproduced.

[Taylor]

She's not, like, conniving maybe, is the way to.

[Nick]

Yeah, I mean, she's just kind of very herself and just maybe a little like, oh, I forgot to do that or whatever. And just like, oh, no biggie, you know, and you could just see. It's just obvious. You can see how she will make it easier for people to make fun of her if they want to make fun of her. And it feels real mean because it's never like. It just seems very. The thing she does is like harmless or whatever, but it's like something a mean girl would make fun of.

[Taylor]

Like the enema.

[Justin]

Yeah, well, they talked about it too.

[Taylor]

Yeah. So I thought that was like, that was the most.

[Justin]

She's on to get dirty to your point. She's talking about the enema at the reunion.

[Taylor]

The enema was incredible. It's something that I will cherishing on my screen for a long time. I thought it was hilarious and I'm really glad that Shannon brought that up on tv.

[Nick]

Well, clean your bottles, people. You know, it's good. It's healthy to have an enema.

[Justin]

You could.

[Nick]
