In the dry states of the Southwest, there's a group that's been denied a basic human right. In the Navajo Nation today, a third of our households don't have running water. But that's not something they chose for themselves. Can the Navajo people reclaim their right to water and contend with the government's legacy of control and neglect?
Nick
Our water, our future.
Katie Lee
Our water.
E
Our future.
Justin
That's in the next season of Reclaimed, the lifeblood of Navajo Nation. Listen now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Nick
You're crazy. What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of the B Files. That was weird.
Justin
That was weird.
Nick
Reality Recap edition. I don't know. I just want to play around with new intros.
Justin
Okay.
Nick
Do people like the. What's going on? One day five years ago, I did it, and then I just kept doing it, and I'm not honestly convinced it's good.
Justin
I think it's great.
Sandy
I think it's your calling card.
E
Everyone in your brand.
Dorit
Yeah.
Nick
Doesn't mean it's good.
Justin
But I think if you were like, hello, everyone, it would be different. You know, sometimes I like it when.
Nick
We just turn it on and we're like, balls deep into a conversation. That was a little aggressive. Balls deep.
Justin
Balls deep. Yikes.
Nick
All right, how was the party last night, everyone, if you don't remember? Well, actually. No, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Just got too much going on in my head. Too much going on. Natalie went to Crystal Minkoff's Christmas dinner party. Ladies only. Ish. Found out that some husband showed up at the end. That was a little disappointed to find out.
Dorit
Sorry.
Nick
I had plans. I had a mandate last night. It was cool. But I think we need to address the elephant in the room. We need to address Vicky. How do you say her last name again? Gunvalson. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not even trying to be a dick. Gum. Because I thought it was Gund Gumble.
Justin
Also, Nick can't pronounce Anything. So it's also like, yeah, of course.
Nick
We made some waves. Vicky made some waves. It seems as though I. Let's also just put it out there. You know, we like to have fun. We like to be messy, but we do like to respect the talent who does show up on our show. We did Green Light keeping in that hot mic moment with Vicki.
Justin
So we asked her.
Nick
We asked her permission. We were like, hey, by the way, like, this happened. We think it's funny. Are you cool with us leaving it in? Vicky, the queen that she is, was more than happy to allow it in and play ball because say what you want about Vicky, she is real. She is authentic. She is real. A little messy, you know, but like, real.
Justin
She is who she is on.
Nick
She is who she is. We were so thankful to have her. She's a star. It was great. We had so much fun with her. We appreciate her playing along. I was a little like, yeah, I was. It was a wild story. Like, she's a star. She's just like, she needs. And she needs to be back on a. If nothing else, what we learned is put her back on tv.
Justin
Absolutely.
Nick
But anyways, the point is we love Vicki and we can't wait to have her back on, hopefully in person next time. Oh, my God, she's a queen. And we are very grateful for Vicki for playing along and letting us keep that moment. And she is nothing if not a star. I hope she is enjoying her vacation.
Justin
Speaking of the Vicki episode, everyone at Crystal's party was like, oh, my God, that Vicki episode was wild.
Sandy
Natalie, if you don't tell me every detail about this Crystal's dinner right now.
Justin
I'm going to lose it.
Nick
First of all, we were. Well, I don't know where you guys were, but last night I was on my mandate. We were, me and my friend Peter, we went to watch Adam Ray's Dr. Phil show and we were getting play by play from Natalie.
Sandy
So.
Nick
And I was like, in a comedy show, checking my phone to be like, what's going on at the party?
Justin
I need to open it up with Crystal Minkoff is Oprah. She gave away diamonds.
Sandy
Oh, my God.
Justin
So we all walked away with Tokori diamonds, which I will be at the next dinner. I think I'm. Hopefully the next one is like, you get an Aspen house, you get a tulum house. And like, you know, hopefully we get a beach house or something. But Crystal Minkoff is the new Oprah and I'm loving that for her. First of all, I need to say that she should have had valet.
E
She didn't have.
Justin
She did not have valet.
E
Diamonds, but no valet.
Justin
She had diamonds but no valet. And there was a stretch or is.
Nick
She going to find your critique out from this show?
Justin
No, no, no. Me. Who else? Me and MJ and maybe Sheena were all saying how. We're going to talk about how she did not have valet on the podcast because we all three struggled with the parking situation. And I think all of the other women were Ubering, which definitely smart. Definitely smart. She lives up in the canyon, you know, not a lot of service, not a lot of parking. You know, there's not parking meters. There's not. We're in neighborhoods, it's two way streets. You know what I'm saying? So I pull into the driveway, I ring the bell, or if not a.
Nick
Valet, a clear instruction of where to park. You should probably parking.
Justin
Right, right, right, right, right, right. So I pull into the driveway, I ring the bell. Her housekeeper Lucy comes out. She's like, can't pull into the driveway. You gotta find parking. And I'm like, well, it's dark out here. There's a lot of traffic. Do you know where, like, I could go? She's like, to the left. I'm like, okay. So I back out of the driveway, I'm like, stop in traffic. And I go to the left. And the amount of no parking signs that were to the left was jarring. It was very clear I was not allowed to park anywhere to the left. So then as I'm going down, everyone this the longest line of traffic. And I'm like, I don't. Okay. I then call Nick. Nick's like, why are you calling me? Call Crystal. Which then triggers a little bit of a breakdown and I do start to cry just a little bit.
Nick
I made you cry?
Justin
You did. Just a little bit. Just because I had really bad anxiety. And I was like, I don't know where to park. I don't know where I am. I can't see. I have no service. Like, I'm in these new high heels that I just bought. I spent too much money on. I probably should return them, but I can't hitchhike. So I'm like, where? Okay.
E
It is the scariest thing in the world to, like, be alone. Trying to park somewhere in la.
Justin
Awful.
E
It's like I always make a friend come with me. I like, will not do it because I will cry.
Nick
I do want to be clear though. When Natalie called me up on my mandate at a dinner, she was like, I'm at Crystal's gate. How do I get in? I'm like, I've never been to Crystal's house. I don't know. We should probably call Crystal.
Justin
Like, so I did hang up on Nick immediately because that was clearly no help. So I did text Crystal when I was at her gate before all of this had started. I was like, hey, girl, I had to drive. I'm at your gate. No response. Obviously, she's hosting a party. Not on her phone anyways. So then I find parking. I hitchhike my way in, and I'm like, who am I gonna see walking in here? Like, I don't know anyone. I only know Crystal. Like, so I walk in and I'm like, okay, okay. Oh, there's Crystal. I'm gonna walk to her. Tamara judge Heather Dubrow are talking to Crystal and her husband Rob. Obviously. No Rob, give him a hug. Reach over. Give Crystal a hug. She introduces me to Tamara. Heather's like, oh, so great to see you. I'm like, you too. We all three start chat. She's like, Heather's like, let's get champagne. I'm like, let's go get champag.
Nick
So are you a little bit afraid of Tamra at this moment?
Justin
I'm a little. Just on edge. Because I'm like, I don't know, you know, we've run into some people who we have talked about their characters on TV shows, and so I'm always a little of like, I wonder if they've heard. I wonder what they think. Do they? Are they like, you know, fuck this, bitch. So I'm always a little, like, on edge?
Nick
Yeah. Because, like, sometimes it's just like, oh, I don't give a fuck. Like, I understand the assignment. I'm a. I'm a professional TV maker. And other times you're like, you know.
Justin
You were mean to me. And it's like, well, yeah.
Nick
And then they start, like, saying the craziest fucking shit in retaliation. It's like, holy shit, man. Like, just someone else on my show made a joke.
Sandy
Yep, 45 minute episode, right? But that's just what I came up to.
Nick
It wasn't even me. I didn't even say it.
Justin
So me. And then the photographer's like, let's get some photos of the three of you. So then me and Tamara and Heather are taking photos by the Christmas tree, and then we run into Kristen from Roni. She was there. And I was like, she looks so familiar. She looks a lot like Molly Sims, which Molly Sims is gorgeous. So I was like, is that Molly? No, I don't think so. And I said, like, you look so familiar. And she did the whole, like, scared, you know, like, didn't want to say what she. She was like, oh, yeah, I don't know. And I was like, okay, awkward. And so then I looked to Heather, and I'm like, heather, who is this blonde? And she was like. She hugged me, but not long enough. So it's like we know each other but not well. And I was like, so, Heather. Okay.
Nick
So Heather.
Justin
Yeah. I was like, okay, that helps.
Sandy
Thank you for that.
Justin
Perfect. Perfect.
E
No.
Nick
And so measuring, if I remember, what is my relationship to this person based off the pressure of their hug.
E
I wonder what, like, the seconds are for her. Like, is it like a 6 to 8? She doesn't remember you, but, you know, I wonder what her time frame.
Justin
I know. I was wondering that as well.
E
Yeah.
Justin
So we're all, me, Kristin, Tamara. We're chatting, and they're like, oh, my God, the Vicki episode. And I was like, it's crazy. And Tamara is like, that bitch. And I'm like, yeah, well, yep. And I'm like, you know, and then, oh, MJ walks in, and from Traders, Shaza Sunset. But also Shaw's the sunset. Yes. And so I'm like, oh, my God, I watch you on Traders. And she's like, oh, my God, I love your show. I, like, was just listening to the Vicky episode. I loved how Justin, the guy who sits beside you, said that the girls, the women of OC don't know how to hang up a phone. She was quoting Episodes and like, no, I love you. We are now probably best friends. She is great. She brought a money tree. I did not bring a gift at all. I know. But I did make it clear to Crystal that it was left on our dining room table when nothing was on our dining room table.
Nick
We're all learning. I went to, like, I went to dinner with Peter, and I was like, he's like, what's Natalie doing tonight? I'm like, this is kind of a big moment for Natalie. Also. I just went a little when we went home for Thanksgiving. Savannah, nothing makes me more, like, excited and proud. When we, like, watch the streets. Every time we go to Savannah, there's, like, one or two moments we'll be walking in Savannah and Natalie, like, we're running to someone she knows from her past. Like, you're at school, bartendering, whatever, and it's always looks like someone who's, like, a local. And there's always, like, a you made it, girl. Like, Natalie is like, Natalie's there, like, sweet home Alabama. And I fucking love it. It makes me really proud of my wife. Of, like. Cause they like some of these people. And don't get me wrong, Natalie's got her critics from back home, but the point is they love her, they hate her, they care about her, they're paying attention to her. And, like, I think it's. She like this. These people look at her like, we all wanted to do what you did and you did it, and it makes me quite proud. But anyways, I'm thinking, like, my wife, who I met when she was, like, bartending in Savannah, is now at a party with Paula Abdul, by the way, she was there. And a bunch of housewives. My babe made it like, so anyways, like, we don't know that we're supposed to bring expensive.
Justin
I didn't know. I didn't know. I thought about it as soon as I pulled out of my, like, neighborhood. And I was like, should I go and pick up a bottle of wine? And then I was like, oh, my God, I can't just pick up a bottle. I would have to be like, the nicest bottle of.
E
You're like, let me go to Trader Joe's, Justin's.
Nick
Let me get some basic wine. Because it's at a $30 price point that it's like, I think that's kind of, like, nice.
Justin
But like, I was like, josh, I get her Trader Joe's wine. I'm like, I feel like, this is fun. Bona box.
E
It's nice.
Justin
It's bougie. So I was like, then that's too much pressure. I can't do all of that. And then I'm like, I'll just tell her, like, new baby forgot it on. You know, it's fine. It's a white lie. Doesn't matter the color of it. It's still a lie. Anyways, so then me and mj. MJ walks in and she's like, oh, my God, the Vicky episode. That's where I was. So everyone's talking about the Vicki episode. It's so funny. Then Sheena comes in. We're all. Me and MJ are like, are gipping and gabbing. You know, we're trying to figure out, like, what's in the drawers of Crystal Minkoff's house. And so then they're like, okay, dinner is now served. If everyone could please make their way outside the backyard, which is lit with, like, tall candles, flowers everywhere, diamonds everywhere. I'm like, no, perfect. And I take a seat at my table with My embroidered napkin. And I look to my right, Paula Abdul. I look to my left, Tamara Judge. I'm like, no, well, of course.
E
Wow.
Justin
Well, of course.
Sandy
I concept my table.
Justin
I'll take my seat right here.
E
The vibeology of that, Truly.
Justin
Also, what is draped over my chair is this like mink robe. Oh. Because it's a little chilly out.
E
Yeah.
Justin
You know, she was thinking. She was thinking of everyone.
Nick
This is first class.
Justin
This is first class. I don't know if it was mink. I didn't test the fur, but it felt like mink.
E
Because of mink Off.
Justin
Exactly. Thank you very much.
Nick
So the thoughtfulness.
Justin
The thoughtfulness thing. Yeah, truly. So then I turn and I'm like, paula, how are you? Like, we've known each other for.
Nick
I have a picture of me and Paula.
Justin
Really? I don't have a photo because I was best friends, you know.
Nick
No, no, you acted.
Justin
I wasn't a fan.
Nick
No, absolutely.
Justin
You said. I'm like, paula, we're. Baby, how are you? So good to see you. She's like, oh, so great to see you. I'm good. I'm very injured. Like, injured? What do you mean? She's like, I've got a torn rotator cuff. I've got a stretched hamstring. I've got a hip. And I'm like, you're wearing 10 inch heels and fishnets. How are you this injured in this?
E
Like, she's a professional.
Justin
I know. It was a stupid question. And she was like, answer. She was like, I'm just. And we started getting into like our favorite Bravo. She loves the Salt Lake City.
E
Hell yeah.
Sandy
She's got to come on and talk about it.
Justin
I know. Sitting beside her is Ms. Jennifer Tilly.
Nick
Which Natalie. Blew my mind.
Justin
I did. Well, I. A little birdie blew my mind at that dinner when they told me that she is like, probably close to a billionaire. And I was like, oh, my God, how? And they were like, you don't know how she got her money. And I'm like, I don't know how she got her money from Chucky. She's like, no, no bound Stuart Little. And she's like, she was married to the creator of the Simpsons, got a divorce, he died. He had no heirs, so everything went to his most recent ex wife, Homie. So she's the power Simpson residual.
Nick
She cannot spend enough of money.
Justin
Truly.
Nick
And it's. There's dump trucks of cash. I mean, metaphorically backing up into her bank account on a daily basis. She could try to burn through her. She could never do it.
Sandy
Did she attach money to the money tree that she brought?
Justin
You know, I was. I was trying to get the invite into her next party because I am curious as to what her gift will be.
E
Oh, my gosh.
Nick
We need to get Gentile on.
Justin
And she is a hoot. She is just. She gives her opinion on everyone. She doesn't care. She can.
Nick
Should we make a podcast with Jennifer Tilly?
Justin
Absolutely. Absolutely. And then I turn to my right or my left, and Tamara is like. And. And Shannon this and Vicky this. And I was like, whoa, okay. And I had to put on my. Like, I'm a friend, not a podcast host. So I was like, I'm. I'm not, like, looking for tea. I'm just here to be a listening ear while you vent about everyone. And you know Tamara Tamra.
Nick
But they all knew who you like.
Justin
Yes.
Nick
You weren't cloak and daggering it.
Justin
No, no, no, no, no. Tamara was like, nick's podcast is huge. Like, this. Like, the fact that Vicki didn't know who he was like, come the fuck on.
Nick
It was like, I. I absolutely believe Vicki.
E
I think Vicky in her own universe. Yeah.
Justin
Yeah. But then Tamara was like, I think I was supposed to come on with Teddy a while back, but I got super sick and couldn't come on. And I was like, yeah, well, we need to have you back on. She was like, honestly, I'm kind of boring right now because I'm under Bravo's, like, contract, so.
Nick
We appreciate the honesty.
Justin
I do appreciate the honesty. And then I was like, listen, I'll be honest. Like, we might have been a little hard on you this season. I don't know if you've heard. She was like, listen, I. We do the same thing on my show. I tell everyone they're only as good as this week's episode. And I was like, I love you.
E
Yeah.
Justin
That is how you handle this type of stuff. And I said, you know what? We preface every episode. We don't know these people. We reserve the right to be wrong. We understand there's an edit. And I said, but now I have a real life experience with you. So, like, that will play in part of, like, when I watch you on tv, because it's like, oh, this is her on tv, but we're gonna still call it out.
Nick
No.
Justin
A hundred percent.
Nick
Yeah.
Sandy
But it sounds like she's okay with that.
Justin
Yes, she is okay with that.
Nick
She's cash. Those checks are cashing a thousand percent.
Justin
Yeah, the checks are cash.
E
She's a professional.
Justin
They served the most amazing meal I mean, this chef that Crystal had, he was amazing.
Nick
Made up for the lack of valet.
Justin
They made up for the. Yes, they did. The first thing they served was, like a shaved Brussels sprout salad. Thank you.
Nick
Shaved, not chopped?
Justin
Nope, it was shaved. It was shaven. And then some eggplants, some squash. I don't do all that. Then some vodka pasta, some salmon.
Nick
Was it better than mine?
Justin
It was very good. It was not better than yours. Nothing is better than yours.
Nick
Okay, thank you.
Justin
Some salmon, some chicken. So the chicken had pomegranate. Pomegranate seeds on it. Pomegranate seeds, not you.
Sandy
Making it even fancier.
Justin
And then before the dessert came, Crystal stood up. She gave a little speech thanking everyone for coming. How she is the new Oprah. She's giving diamonds to everyone. We all squealed, and then she said, dessert is now served. And it was a poached pear with Turkish Delight. No, I'll tell you exactly what it was, because, honestly.
Nick
What's that from?
Sandy
Turkish Delight?
Nick
Harry Potter.
E
Narnia.
Sandy
Witch in the Wardrobe. Lion. The Witch in the Wardrobe.
E
Oh, it's a dish.
Nick
No, no, but it's like.
E
Oh, yeah, they do.
Justin
They.
E
Yeah, they do. Be eaten. Turkish Delight in Narnia.
Justin
Yeah, it's a poached pear with. What do you think this is?
Sandy
Angel hair?
E
Like, the actual hair?
Nick
Can I see that?
E
Yeah.
Justin
What do you think that is, girl?
E
No clue.
Justin
Because I was a little. I was a little scared. Me and Tamara both were. We were like, is this a.
E
It looks like something that grows on something that's expired.
Nick
It looks like asbestos.
E
Yeah, it does look like asbestos.
Nick
Like something that you would stuff a.
E
Like, it looks like you could get messelthi mioma and might be entitled for financial compensation from your meal.
Sandy
Yeah, I'm not rich enough to know.
Justin
What this is exactly. And then I looked back at the menu, and it is called Turkish fairy.
E
Floss, of course, which is an ingredient in the substance.
Nick
How many fairies had to die for you guys to.
Justin
That's a great question.
Nick
I don't.
Justin
And then I was like, floss. Like, I don't love that name for a food. Like, is it. Am I. Is it hard? And then the server was like, it's a lot like cotton candy.
Nick
Oh, so nice.
Justin
And I'm like, oh, that's interesting to me. And Tamara do a little taste test. We record it, of course, and it is incredibly feathery, but melts in your mouth and has, like, a graham crackery taste. Wasn't mad about it. Was definitely a little. It stuck to My lip gloss.
E
Yeah.
Justin
I'm saying.
E
Yeah. Would you rather have eaten that or graham cracker?
Justin
A what?
E
Would you rather have eaten that or a graham cracker? Be honest.
Justin
I think I would have. I think I would have liked, like a warm graham cracker.
Dorit
Yeah.
Justin
I don't need like the crunch of like a warm, like maybe a little soft graham cracker. Could be fun.
Nick
But the presentation and the experience, obviously.
Justin
Yes, yes, of course. And then sitting along the table was a massive nine carat diamond ring that me and Tamara might have put in our shoe once or twice to walk out with. But we did return it and I think that should be a Christmas gift.
Nick
Oh, my God. Ideas for sure.
Justin
Yeah. So just going to throw that out there. It was nine carats. It was absolutely massive and it was stunning. And Crystal's daughter also was like, dad, I want this. And I was like, you got good taste.
Sandy
Why was a nine carat diamond ring on the table?
Justin
Oh, because there was just diamonds everywhere. There was tennis necklaces, there was earrings. There was.
Sandy
Were these up for purchase?
Justin
You know, I asked and it was like a. We're getting diamonds as a gift. This is to show, like, what else. Tokori. It was the brand Tokori has to offer.
Nick
Oh.
Justin
Which, you know, I'm like.
Nick
I mean, we're. We've been name dropping them like crazy.
Justin
I only said this is the one time I said it.
Nick
But I think that's worth a diamond. I think that's nine carats.
Justin
Right, Right. I would love to Corey.
E
Yeah, to Corey. Do your job. Send me our.
Nick
Vicky has told you how big our show is. Let's just be clear. So, like, I'm expecting that is true, that 9 carat diamond to be delivered promptly to our address.
Sandy
To Natalie. From Nick.
Nick
Yes.
Dorit
Yeah, with.
Nick
Absolutely. From your husband.
Justin
From her husband.
Nick
Yes.
Justin
Yes. To Corey. If you're listening, please, I am a size four and a half.
Nick
I couldn't tell you.
Justin
Anyways, perfect. So then dinner wraps. Me and MJ go to the bathroom, do a little photo shoot session. Brock shows up to pick up Sheena because she had to park 10 miles away. And, you know, everyone's kind of leaving. Then me, Crystal, Rob and Zooey Deschanel are all chatting at the end. You know, they're talking about their chefs. I'm talking about the Chick Fil a I had for lunch yesterday. You know, we're just on different spectrums of life. But Zoe's also a huge fan. She is boycotting Beverly Hills because of Crystal, which honestly I respect. Yeah, good. Friend. And then I left with several bags of things that I don't really know what's in there. A bottle of wine and some skincare and like a Monopoly board or something. I don't know. And that was it. And then Crystal sent me a photo today of me and Tamara at the dinner table, chit chatting.
Nick
What a lovely night.
Sandy
Yeah, truly lovely.
Justin
29 minutes of that. Hope you enjoyed it.
Nick
Do you think someday you will be hosting parties like this?
Justin
Well, Crystal did say, like, I. Rob, I am so sorry for the cost of this one. Next one will be cheaper, so.
Nick
But he got that Disney money.
E
Yeah.
Sandy
I don't think they're worried.
Justin
I don't think they're worried.
Nick
Lion King is super successful.
E
Yeah.
Justin
Yeah.
E
He could make Stuart Little three.
Sandy
I'm sure there's a tax write off somewhere in that. In that event.
E
Yeah, but there's gotta be also, like the Lion King that everyone likes. You know, no tea, no shade to the live action reboots.
Nick
But like, also no, I think shade is welcomed.
E
Oh, I can be honest. I hate them.
Justin
Oh my God, the live actions.
Nick
Yeah, yeah.
E
No, it's a classic Rob Minkoff. You're a goat for the Lion King.
Justin
Also, I have to say, I felt like I was like, you know, this is a big dinner. I like, should I need. I don't have a closed toed, pointed black heel. Oh, I don't have one. I don't own one. So I was like, I should.
Nick
She just to impress.
Justin
I should go and find one that I like. Well, I, you know, I was.
Sandy
Is that the bag you posted? Oh, my girl.
Justin
I posted and I was like, I've had these shoes. I posted a bag of. You don't Nick.
Sandy
Where it came from.
Justin
Nick doesn't watch my Instagram stories. Isn't that crazy? He doesn't watch them. Do you watch anyone's stories?
Nick
I try to say off long guys, I'm protecting my mental health.
Dorit
So he is.
Justin
Yeah. But sometimes I'm like, did you see what Rivy was doing today? And he's like, no. And I'm like, that would be so. You know, you could have. She was on the slide. She was wearing her cute little striped outfit with her two little.
Nick
I would love to come home and have my wife tell me about how her and my daughter's day was and not me.
Justin
Like, go look at my story.
Sandy
Maybe it's a good thing he's not looking at your story.
Nick
Like.
E

True, true, true. And So I was like, I've had these shoes screenshotted on my phone for some time now since they released. And I was like, I'm just going to try them on. You know, whatever. So I go into St. Laurent on rodeo Drive, and I, you know, store's a little empty. Not a lot of people in there. All the workers are on their phones. And I'm like, okay, this is a good environment for me to step into. And I'm like, I would like to try those on in a size 38, please. He's like, we don't have that. And I'm like, okay, what do you have? He's like, we have a 40, which is a size 10, which is not my size. I'm an 8. And so I was like, I'll try it on. You know, I'll just see.
Sandy
Stuff it with some tissues.
Justin
Yeah. So I try on the 10, and I'm like, it's beautiful. It is absolutely massive on me, though. But it is beautiful. And he. I'm, like, looking at the other shoes, I'm like, let me try those on. I then come to find out I'm an eight and a half in these shoes. So I have on an eight and a half in one and the 10 of the shoe that I really like on the other. And I'm standing in the mirror, and I'm, like, looking, and I'm trying to decide, you know, like, do I really like these? Whatever. Whatever. A couple walks in, which I realize this is the biggest pet peeve of mine, and I hate it so much, and it might be a hot take, but. And I'm looking in the mirror for quite some time, and she goes, I like the black. Okay, Buy them. I. Why are you telling me what you like? Don't. I don't need a stranger giving me their opinion. Yeah, people did that to me when I was trying on wedding dresses. And I'm like, ma'am, you are not sitting on this couch with the bridesmaids and the mother of the bride. I don't need you to tell me which one you like.
E
Big mistake.
Nick
Is that what you called me? Yes, because she got your head.
Justin
She got in my head.
Nick
She FaceTimes me, and she's like, which ones? I'm like, the fuck if I know. Like, which ones do you like? I didn't even know at this point. We were talking about shoes that did and did not fit her. Yeah. And listen, my wife makes her own money. She doesn't need my permission. But we are a married couple with big dreams. And aspirations. And we like to, like, talk about big expenditures. But, like, she is going to this party, and, like, my baby deserves to treat herself to go and dress for impressed. She's sitting next to Paula Abdul.
Sandy
Sweet.
E
Yep.
Justin
And so I'm like, thanks. Yeah. The black's classic. Okay. Anyway, so then the sales associate comes out, and he's like, I found a 9. I can run and get it right now. And I'm like, well, this eight and a half fits perfectly. Let's try the nine. The nine in, like, the actual shoe that I wanted. Right, right. He's like, I'm gonna run. I'll be right back. And I'm like, okay. So he runs, he comes back. He's definitely breathing heavy, and there's a little bit of sweat. So I'm like, he was working. And, you know, like, pointed toe heels. You always got toe cleavage. You know what I'm talking about? Yuck. Not a fan. Don't like. Yes. It's not a good look for anyone. I don't know why they're making those shorter and shorter.
Nick
It's like, who knew the top of your feet could give you a muffin top?
Justin
Exactly. Like, no one needs to see all those creases. You know what I'm saying? And so the eight and a half was heavy on the toe cleavage. The nine, like, hit it a little bit better because there was a little extra room up there, you know?
E
Yeah.
Justin
So I was like, they kind of fit.
Nick
No. Here's what's. She's trying to convince herself it is okay to overspend in these shoes that don't fit her.
Justin
Well, they fit. There was, like, a centimeter behind my heel, and so I'm like, asking if they fit there.
Nick
Why did I scotch tape the bottoms?
Justin
Well, I haven't gotten there yet. And you're jumping through the story.
Nick
I just want to know.
Justin
So I'm like, there's a centimeter behind. And I'm asking the man, which. He's a man, like, what the. Does he know? You know, Nothing. He's like, I don't think they look fine. I'm like, he's just trying to make his commission. So two women walk in, and they're. And this. I'm asking their opinion, right? And they're looking and they're chatting, and they're. They're giving chic. And I'm like, do these look too big on me? And the girl's like, no. Well. And I'm like, do they? And she was like, walk around. Walk. And I'm like, okay, so I'm, I'm taking laps. She's like, no, I mean, like, if you, like, you took my eye to it, if I just saw you on the street, I'd be like, oh, cute shoes. I wouldn't be like, oh, my God, that girl's wearing two shoes. So I was like, okay, okay, I appreciate that. And so then I look at the guy and I'm like, let's get him. So he's like, I don't know where this party is in, like a house. And I'm like, it's in someone's backyard. He's like, you could like, tape the bottom of them. I was like, oh, interesting. He's like, if they're not scuffed, you could exchange for the eight and a half.
E
And I was like, he wants that commission so bad.
Justin
I'm like, is this.
E
I love that for him.
Justin
I literally was like, is this illegal? Is this a scam?
E
No, that's a good salesman.
Justin
Good salesman. I felt safe. Yeah. I was like, ugh, he's not going.
E
To steer you wrong.
Justin
No. And I was like, that is a great idea. I will tape the bottom of them. I'll wear them to this party. If they're not scuffed, I'll get the eight and a half. Tomorrow. They're scuffed. I will be keeping the nine. So that was my evening.
Nick

Did you wake up to a good Spotify rap at least?
Justin
I don't want to see anyone Spotify wrapped. I'll be honest.
Nick
Not even ours.
Justin
That is nice. It is nice to know that we are on people's Spotify wrapped, but the people who are posting them, we don't give a fuck. I don't care who the person you listen to the most this year.
E
I care. I care deeply.
Justin
You do?
E
Yeah. Spotify Wrapped is like my Christmas.
Justin
You're like, oh my God. You're like, oh my God. Benjamin, listen to Kodak Black nonstop. Like you care.
E
Yeah, Yeah, I care. Every time someone posts a playlist, if they post a song, if they post whatever. I'm like, thank you, Mary. I'm like, I care about this so much because you care about it. And also when I post my Playlist. This is an album release for me. You know what I mean? I'm like, this is very important.
Justin
I also don't care about. We don't need to be resharing our happy birthdays. I don't need to see anyone in your life post a photo of you for your birthday.
E
I don't care about.
Nick
I don't care about self promotion there. But like, selfishly, I do like it when our household lets people know her favorite show.
Justin
Of course.
Nick
Well, that's what you're telling. Shut the fuck up.
Sandy
She only likes it. And you post the Vile Files as your number one most listened podcast.
Justin
Yes, of course.
Nick
If we're in the top three, you can share top three.
E
Feel like four.
Nick
Yeah. For four. Like, honestly keep it like, oh my.
E
God, Jax was on top.
Justin
You know, like, I don't need to see. Yeah. I don't need to see all these people who are above us.
E
I gotta. I gotta be honest. Like the podcast episode. Not really paying attention to. I want to know the music.
Nick
Well, Taylor Swift is the number one most listened to artist of the year. Not shocking. Was she?
E
And anyone. Anyone here's wrapped.
Nick
I haven't. I don't. I don't know how to look.
E
You just go on.
Nick
I know what's on my rap. It's. It's called a podcast called Blue 80 packers podcast. Yeah. Okay.
Justin
You should look at your sweater.
Nick
It's got like six reviews. I'm one of four listeners.
E
Let's.
Nick
You're the.
Sandy
You're the.001% that listen to this every day.
Nick
Two speed. And I will listen to episodes two to three times.
Sandy
Like the same one. Yep. That's dedication.
Nick
No, it's because his voice is so soothing. It's just.
Justin
It just.
Nick
It brings me peace.
Katie Lee
Is it blue 58?
Nick
Blue 58. Yeah. Do you fall asleep to it sometimes? Yeah. Rock my daughter to it.
Justin
You know, Rivers, like I was hoping for like classical music and it's like. Well.
Sandy
At this point, Rivers first word. Touchdown.
E
She's like, good hustle.
Nick
Really.
Justin
Yeah.
Nick
What else we got going on?
Katie Lee
Sabrina was on Sierra's wrapped. Right.
Sandy
So many times. I didn't even know she is single.
Dorit
Please, please.
Katie Lee
She is single.
Sandy
She is single.
Justin
She is single.
Sandy
According to a source from People.
Nick
I forgot that her and Barry were dating. To be honest.
Justin
I honestly thought they broke up a while back.
Sandy
Yeah, they broke up, but I think they were like super public while they were together. And then they broke up publicly. Then they got back together low key. And then you just didn't see them together. I guess she was on tour, he was over here. But I guess.
Justin
Yes.
Sandy
According to a source, they have broken up again.
Nick
Wow. All right. She's gonna miss that huge D. Maybe. I don't know. Is that okay for me to say? I mean, he's out there being like. That was my.
E
Yeah. So, I mean, I think it's well within your right to say, you know.
Justin
I think it's also well within your right to say.
E
Yeah, I don't think he would be mad at you saying he has a big dick.
Sandy
It's also a true observation.
Justin
Right?
Nick
Yeah. Like, they'll both be fine.
Dorit
Yeah.
Nick
I think is a takeaway.
E
And she's like, like, literally serving every night.
Nick
I mean, I see her everywhere.
Justin
Literally. Her Juno positions. It's like I wake up and I'm like, what was the new position? I need to know the one of her. Have you ever tried?
Nick
Do you think she's as much of a freak as she pretends to be?
Justin
No, no, we're all pretending to be.
Sandy
I think it's great marketing.
E
Have you guys. Have you guys seen. There was like. It was like, Stan Twitter or something. And it was this, like, teenager that was like, people were getting mad that Sabrina Carpenter wasn't a good, like, role model for K kids. And this, like, kid on Twitter was like, I'm 17 and afraid of Sabrina Carpenter. And everyone's just, like, clowning this kid on Twitter. And now it's like a thing. They made hats.
Justin
It's crazy that her show is very sexual. She's in lingerie and yet it's like, not for men at all.
E
No.
Justin
You know, it, like, just shows that.
E
Like, it's like, we're being sexy. To be sexy.
Justin
We're being sexy.
E
It's like, not male gazey at all. She's doing draft bag.
Justin
Like, have you ever tried this one? It's my favorite thing ever.
E
Shout out. Sabrina, you're gonna be fine. You don't need Barry.
Nick
Okay?
Justin
She doesn't need Barry.
Nick
Mattel sued over Wicked dolls. Oh. As they should be. I can't believe they put a porn site like, come on. Protect your children. What the are you doing, Mattel? Wicked. Whose fault is it? Is it Wicked or is it Mattel's who sued them?
Katie Lee
Mattel is getting sued by a South Carolina resident who's launching us a class action lawsuit, basically claiming that they didn't offer a refund and believes she and her child suffered emotional distress. And she specifically said her.
Nick
No, her children.
Katie Lee
She said these scenes were hardcore Full on nude pornographic images depicting actual intercourse. Plaintiff's minor daughter immediately showed her mother the photographs and both were horrified by what they saw.
Nick
For those who don't know, these Mattel Wicked dolls on the box have, like, wicked.com and turns out wicked.com is a porn site. And the Wicked Movie.
Justin
Wicked Movie.
Nick
Something like. Just not Wicked Doc. I don't know. But anyways, apparently Mattel doesn't have enough of employees to like, fact check or do like a quick like www. Like, is this a porn site dot com.
Sandy
I swear, nobody proofreads anymore.
Justin
No, like, there has been.
E
ChatGPT is writing this copy.
Justin
There has been some man or someone's husband who was like, I know the site. Yeah, I've been on the site when it says.
Katie Lee
It says Mattel pulled from the shelves. Pulled all the dolls from the shelves and then issued that statement that we read, like, weeks ago.
Justin
So I'm honestly shocked there's not more lawsuits coming for that. I feel like there's a lot of sue happy people in this world and like, this would have been.
Nick
This one is actually deserving this.
Justin
Yeah, but this is like, such an opportunity for people to be like, oh, my hurt it killed. Heard my family pornography is destroyed.
Katie Lee
Yeah, it's a class action, so it invites other people to join.
Sandy
Ooh, and it's also Mattel, Mattel and.
Katie Lee
Universal both declined to comment. So.
E
Yeah, what are they gonna say? Sorry, your kid. Like, my thing is like, obviously it's bad, but these kids can find wicked.com no matter what. You know what I mean?
Nick
Like, they can get, but they shouldn't be, like, informed.
E
Yes, I agree.
Nick
In case you haven't heard.
Sandy
Maybe it's just me, but I was like, as a kid, like, I just ripped the doll out of the box. Like, who's reading the back of the box? I know, I know, I know.
Justin
I'm totally against it.
Sandy
All I'm saying is I'm just like, who's going to the website?
E
The parents. The parents are seeing it. The kids aren't actually. You know what I mean? Also, kids do not know what WWW dot means. If it was an app. Sure. Worldwide.
Nick
It's not the point.
E
I know. Yeah, but it's just so funny.
Nick
What is this? Only fans Top earner is a virgin and a devout Christian.
Sandy
Yep.
Nick
She hauled in $43 million. Sophie Rain says she's a virgin. Okay.
E
And a flirty Floridian and a devout.
Justin
Why is that? Like, why is this news?
Katie Lee
She made 40.
Nick
She makes the $43 million.
Katie Lee
She made 43 million in one year on the website. But she did. She didn't have sex.
Nick
Is she not posting?
Justin
I don't think a lot of them are having sex.
Dorit
Just to clarify, I can confirm that she posts nudes.
Justin
What? What was that? That.
Nick
Is Zach a member of the household that.
Justin
Did you do research?
Nick
Yeah. Zach. Huh.
Justin
How was your night last night?
Dorit
Why? This story caught my eye when we were. You recognized her name, so I did some research. And yes, I can confirm no porn, but yes nudes.
Nick
Okay. All right.
Justin
And how are the nudes? Are they.
E
Were they good?
Katie Lee
They giving 43 million?
Justin
43.
Nick
43 million worth.
Dorit
I mean, why? I use the company credit card.
E
The vials is the number one.
Nick
This was a business expense, so it's through our account. Jesus Christ. But. So there are. There are.
Justin
I'll check it out later.
Nick
Then when I saw, when I saw this headline then I was just like, oh, she's a virgin. She's. She's not.
Justin
Like a lot of them are not doing.
Nick
We need to all be on only fans.
Justin
A lot of them are not. Not having sex with OnlyFans.
Nick
We need to all be an OnlyFans.
Sandy
I think so.
Nick
I think every member of this household should start an OnlyFans account.
Justin
And you don't have to ask me twice.
E
Yeah. Hey guys. Comment, comment. Whose Onlyfans? You want to see?
Dorit
Oh God.
Nick
It's all free, right? Like, let's just see what we can do.
E
Yeah.
Sandy
If I can come close to 43 million.
Nick
Why is Tom Sandoval not on OnlyFans yet?
Sandy
Because the obsession.
E
Because as this girl would agree, God exists and is keeping people safe.
Justin
Yeah. I think the like, I'm a devout Christian. Like probably leans into some sort of kink fetish.
E
Defin have and good for her. For like, for. And listen, letting go, letting God.
Justin
God forgives.
E
He does.
Nick
He does. Yeah.
Sandy
Larsa Pippen said that she made six figures just doing foot photos.
Justin
Yeah. You know who is not?
Nick
You want that nine carat ring?
Justin
I do want that nine carat ring, but I. I feel like maybe I could do a couple of different avenues before I hit only fans. I don't know.
Nick
Maybe no nudes for sure. No, no.
Justin
What? Just like me smiling? Like, what are you wanting?
Nick
Honestly, I think there's a market for literally anything. I don't. I don't think we're going to make 43 mil.
Justin
Right.
E
But she says this job makes dating difficult. Yeah. And she expresses frustration to with suitors who are just trying to date her for her body. Not for who she is as a person, which has to be upsetting.
Justin
That does have to be.
E
But 43 million may make that a little bit less upsetting.
Nick
Yeah.
E
Because at least you're, like, crying in a nice pillow, you know, Bentley.
Justin
That's true.
Nick
Yeah.
Sandy
Rather be crying in a Bentley than on a bike. You're already married, so.
Nick
Oh, yeah.
Justin
That's not you. That's true. You know who's not a virgin? Oh, Barbara Corcoran.
Nick
Okay.
Justin
Corin. She has short sex with her husband, and she is not afraid to scream it from the rooftops.
Nick
She still having sex?
Justin
Yeah. Well, yeah. I don't know how much they do have because she admitted that she and her husband, who got married in 1988, do that math. I cannot. They do sleep in separate bedrooms, and she joked that that ensures that sex is a quote, unquote, short thing. And this is so funny because she. Her idea of a special night with her husband is a good game of Scrabble. He'll often say to me, s or S, And I'll say Scrabble because the first S means sex. So I say, no Scrabble. So S or S. I aspire to.
Nick
Have that level of communication.
Justin
Yeah, that is good. Yeah, that is good.
E
S or S. Yeah, I love beating him at Scrabble, and he loves beating me at Scrabble, and that's a great night.
Justin
Honestly, that would be. That's really relatable.
E
Horny Scrabble. Yeah, that's what I.
Justin
Naked Scrabble.
E
Naked Scrabble. Strip Scrabble.
Nick
So what is this? Andy Cohen is basically explaining and justifying the Vanderpump reboot similar to the Roni reboot. How is that a good thing?
Katie Lee
Yeah, I mean, he basically said he. To dumb it down. He said it was the right timing, it was the right thing to do. It season 11 set it up for, like, a closing period. And then he said, well, we did it with Roni.
Justin
Oh, well. And it failed. Yeah.
Sandy
Not the Flex. It is.
Nick
Yeah.
Justin
Because Paul Abdul hates Ron. So that tells you anything.
E
I'm Team Paula. Always have been since American Idol.
Nick
It's not good.
Justin
It's not good.
Nick
Let's just call a spade a spade.
Sandy
I'm still watching it in hopes, like, last night's episode was okay, but I'm like, again, we need more drama than all of you talking shit about each other. And who said what?
Nick
And it's not even real shit.
Sandy
That's what I'm saying. It's not even like.
Dorit
Yeah, it's not even real.
Sandy
Drama being talked about.
E
I just want Jenna Lyons to have her own show. Like, that's the only reason I'm watching at that point is for my.
Nick
Like, I mean, I know you love her and all, but like. And as a human being, I aspire to be her friend. Yeah, but she's not a good.
E
No, no, no, no. I think they should reboot like Project Runway. Project Runway with Jenna L. I'm there for that. Yeah. I want her to like, read these kids to filth is what I. I.
Nick
Think she's too nice.
E
Not if she was hosting Project Runway. I think she could lean in.
Sandy
I don't know. She was eating a salad during her sale and got up to hug strangers.
Justin
I was like this.
E
She's going to be too nice.
Nick
She's a good person.
Sandy
She's a nice person.
E
100% the best. I love you too.
Katie Lee
Rebecca Minkoff did say that the prank was a big mistake.
Justin
Good.
Nick
I'm glad she's acknowledging for pointing out the obvious, Rebecca.
Dorit
Yeah.
Justin
And I am sorry, but it is too late.
E
Yeah, yeah. Your suck already ruined it.
Justin
Yeah.
Sandy
You like single handedly bombed the show with two episodes of a prank that wasn't funny.
E
Maybe it's a big thing. Maybe Scientology didn't want Roni to continue.
Sandy
This Britain Whitfield's giving us a real problem.
Justin
Scientology was like the S word was like, do you know who trouble they were like, we are going to end the show because you cannot be on it, so why don't you do this?
E
Yeah. And she was like, okay.
Nick
Ariana Mannix reacts to claims of cropping. What did she say? Did she admit to it or not admit to it?
Katie Lee
So she did her goodbye post for Vanderpump recast.
Nick
You know, like last week it was announced that they are doing this reboot and then, you know, you had all the cast of Vanderpump posting their like, goodbyes. My thing, my favorite was James Kennedy where he was like typing about how he's like, I'm crying. Like when people said I'm holding back tears, I'm holding back. Like when people talk about crying in their messages is finding. It's like it's right next to like the whole like recording herself crying Anyways, but Ariana posted some very curated photos of herself and some of her besties and excluding some obvious members of the cast to which people reacted to.
Dorit
Yeah.
Nick
And what did she say?
Katie Lee
Well, so Lala, Sandoval and Jacks were the ones that didn't ever make an.
Nick
Appearance in Ariana's post.
Katie Lee
In Ariana's post, and it was like 10 slides, and there was. It was a collage, so there was probably around like, 20 to 30 images in the 10 slides. So she responded to comments. So one comment was living for this carefully curated photo selection. She responded, I wish I could do more slides. I had a lot more things. Maybe another post, another comment said, just here for all the cropped photos and thanking everyone but the cast, because a lot of the photos had, like, crew members and producers and everybody else. And she responded, that's what the pictures are for, Pookie.
Nick
Why are you just running Ariana?
Justin
Yeah, like, you know, just stand by your move.
E
Yeah.
Nick
You know, when you acknowledge trolls, you validate trolls. Like, as soon as you start communicating with people in the comments, like, you're validating their, like, their opinions. I don't understand why. Just. Just. Just be petty.
Justin
Yeah, it's like, if you don't. Yeah, it's like, if you don't fuck with these people, don't fuck with these.
Nick
Don't have to explain it. I don't know.
E
Certainly not Pooky.
Justin
And I also, like, think people should understand her not wanting to post her ex. No. Like, why are you, like.
Nick
Or Jazz or anyone, quite frankly, she.
Justin
Doesn'T get along with. She's not friends with. Like, I'm sorry, I'm not posting pictures with people I'm not friends with. That's weird.
Nick
Yeah.
E
She's trying, like, post about the best days of her lives, and they probably weren't in those.
Sandy
Like, they did not.
Nick
We all got paid. I don't need to thank them for, like, co starring with me, you know, like, fuck, man. Like, the fans should. Could. Could thank them.
Sandy
Go look at their post. You want to see their photos.
Nick
Like, imagine, like, thanking, like, you know, like, oh, you know, coming off the Bachelor and be like, I'm so. So thank you. Thankful, like, making sure I post, like, every person I was ever on the show with, as if, like, I need to thank them.
E
No, you're also posting the pictures that you look the hottest in.
Nick
Probably. That's all I'm posting.
E
Yeah. And also, like, crop exists for a reason, and I think not using it is, like, worse than not cropping.
Nick
I think it's really great when you crop. Not enough to, like, you let people know that you are cropping and you show just a little bit of the person that they like, they can figure out who you're cropping. But it's, you know, that's the best that is.
E
And that's kind of what she was doing.
Nick
This is amazing. So own your pettiness, Ariana. Just leave.
E
Well, I think she was trying to do the petty with using the word pookie, but I don't.
Nick
I'm sorry. Once you. Once you engage with trolls, you lose. You give the power to the trolls. There is no good comeback to the Internet. You are lowering yourself to their level.
Justin
But you know who else is petty being trying to be petty right now? Britney from Salt Lake City. Because she claims to have got the same Saint Laurent heart jacket, but I will say hers looks a little flimsy.
Dorit
She also.
Katie Lee
She didn't claim she was just wearing it at a YSL store.
Justin
She's wearing it outside of the ysl. Like she went to the mall. She's wearing a red fur shawl.
Nick
So she had her friend sew it and then showed up to a ysl.
Katie Lee
But it's a little flat.
Justin
It's giving. It's. Yeah, it's a little flat. It's a little floppy.
Nick
It's giving.
Sandy
DYI or no, I think it's still a ysl.
E
Diy.
Nick
Diy.
Sandy
Yeah, I think it's still a YSL piece. But the ones that her Rihanna have are like big and structured. Raquel on Roni wore the same one that Britney had in this week's episode. And it's very much like flimsy, does not hold the same shape. So I do think that Bronman's not lying about them being like three of that type of structure.
Justin
Yeah, Three heart structures. Millions of shelf shawls.
Sandy
Yeah.
Justin
Red fur shawls.
E
I don't know her tick. Britney's TikTok has been like, popping off, though. It's the funniest thing in the world. Her dressing up green on fire right now. Dressing up green in the streets and singing wicked.
Sandy
Streets of Vegas.
Justin
The streets of Vegas. I need Bronwyn to respond and be like, babe, we both know that is.
E
Not the same, but it's perfect for Britney.
Nick
I love them both.
E
Gets who her character is now.
Nick
I could be friends with Bron, but I love Britney so much as a housewife, I don't. You know, I could be friendly with Britney. You know, I could definitely offer some advice.
Sandy
As long as you don't put Bronwyn and Britney in the same sentence, you're good.
Nick
Well, according to. But I am. I absolutely love them both. And I just. I think they both deserve all of our love and affection and respect and credit because I think these were huge shoes to fit and they have filled him. Amazing. I mean, for Britney to be off a couple episodes and for us to feel that.
E
I miss her.
Nick
I missed her so much. It was just like, oh, thank God she's back on my TV screen.
E
Every time she opens her mouth, I'm stunned by what comes out of it. Like, it's incredible.
Nick
So good.
E
It's so good. What about me?
Justin
No, it was perfect.
E
I love her.
Sandy
What about you, girl?
E
What about you?
Nick
Well, speaking of talking more about bravo, we got obviously to get into the ultimatum, which just released. We're gonna talk about the first episod. And we got the wonderful Katie Lee, an American cookbook author, also former ex wife of Billy Joel, but more importantly, reality TV fan and fanatic. And she is up next to talk about all things reality TV with us. Before we get to that, so many topics I actually wish we had a chance to talk about. We will be talking about it this Friday on Pop Extra. Your vial files plus pop culture topic that we drop every week and talk about. Your favorite topics we didn't get to talk about on reality Recap.
Justin
Some of the topics are. Chloe Kardashian claims for therapy leaked private information from her session to a tabloid. That is insane and so crazy. I cannot believe that happened. Eminem's half brother Nate reacts to his mom's death in a scathing post. Traitor Season 3 trailer. New cast of Sold on SLC. It's giving another thing. Mormon wives. Salt Lake City. We know.
Nick
We love Salt Lake City.
Justin
They're popping off.
Nick
Is that the new Hollywood? Salt Lake City?
Justin
It's a new Hollywood. Lala Kent is. Is. Is whitening her 3 year old's teeth and she is defending it in the.
Nick
Not backing.
Justin
She's not backing down. She is editing her 3 year old's photos and she doesn't care what you think about it.
Nick
When you say she's whitening her teeth, you mean like online or literally in.
Justin
Her photos in an app.
Nick
And people are caring why?
Sandy
Because.
Justin
Because people just have issues with everything. Kyle and Amanda tease there will be a threesome in the upcoming season. And it's not them. That's it anyway. And so much more.
Nick
It's now time for Vibes versus Stabs.
E
Okay, you guys, over Thanksgiving break, I was really holding space and I was reflecting on what I've learned about football in my time as the Vile Files resident sports analyst.
Nick
Thank you.
E
And you know what I realized? I don't really like, I can't really get into men playing sports that much. But you know what I can get into? Powerful woman. Okay, so this Week, I think we should play a game called who's Cooler? And why Is It Always the Woman? In which I will read off some stats about each member of a football couple and you will tell me who is cooler.
Nick
Okay?
E
And they're not going to be leading. These are genuine reactions I want from you guys. Okay? Starting off with our first matchup, the Detroit Lions versus the Green Bay Packers. The game is tonight, and for the Lions, we have quarterback Jared Goff, who, as I said last week, does look like he thinks salt is spicy, and his wife, Christian Harper, who is a Sports Illustrated model and actress. So who's cooler? Jared Goff, who completed 21 of 34 passes for 220 yards, scoring two touchdowns in a game last week, or Christian Harper, who made it to the final 15 of the 2021 annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Search and selected as one of six models to appear in the magazine. And was also in a short film called Sevens Eleven when she was 11, about a group of kids who have a candy heist to steal all the candy from a seven.
Justin
Eleven.
Nick
Who's cooler?
Justin
Oh, my God.
Dorit
Christian, by far.
Justin
Definitely a movie about taking over film. A short film.
E
Thank you.
Justin
About taking over a seven. 11 is honestly.
Nick
And he was, what, 21 for 33?
E
You said 21 of 34 for two and 14 points.
Justin
That's all he got.
Nick
So he missed 13 passes. Terrible.
Justin
Oh, my God.
E
Yeah, ESPN.
Justin
She definitely is cooler.
E
She's definitely cooler. Okay, so. Woman 1 Woman. All right, next up, packers quarterback Jordan Love, who I will not choose joke about because I really like my job. And his fiance, Veronica Stone, who is a professional volleyball player. But who's cooler? Jordan Love, who's ranked number 17 in fantasy football quarterbacks, or Veronica Stone, who led the Pro Volleyball Federation and hitting percentage as the middle blocker of the San Diego Mojo. A female athlete.
Nick
Let's be clear. Veronica Stone is an amazing name.
Justin
Incredible name.
E
Veronica Stone, volleyball player for the San Diego. Mojo.
Justin
Mojo.
E
Mojo.
Justin
You heard it here first. Definitely her.
E
Yeah.
Justin
17 on fantasy football. It's not good. Who's number one? Doesn't matter. 17 is crazy.
E
I think it fluctuates.
Justin
Not good.
E
I don't know. That's what ESPN was saying from yesterday.
Justin
Okay, so I have to go. Veronica Stone. She sounds like a superhero.
E
Yeah.
Sandy
Truly.
E
All right, here comes the hard part.
Justin
Oh, my God.
E
So to pick this game, you're gonna have to pick who you would rather hang out with. Christian Harper or Veronica Stone.
Justin
I have to go. Veronica Stone. I have to go. Veronica Stone.
E
So we're going Packers.
Sandy
I think we have to go Packers. Yeah. Sorry, you're gonna have to vote for the Lions this time.
Nick
No, I'm gonna go for the.
E
We're all going Packers. We love the Packers. We love the Packers. We would never say anything bad about the Packers. Go, Pac, go.
Justin
Okay.
Sandy
The number one fantasy football quarterback is.
Justin
Josh Allen, which got his 14 points on one play.
Nick
That doesn't make sense. Yeah. Happily married to another very successful, very cool woman, I was gonna say.
Justin
Just kidding.
Sandy
It's actually Jalen hurts as of this week.
Nick
Oh.
Sandy
So my bad.
Justin
My God.
Sandy
Josh on this number two.
E
Well, let's get into the number two. Game two. Our next matchup, the Los Angeles fans versus the Buffalo Bills. For the Rams, quarterback Matthew Stafford, who is from Tampa, Florida, and went to the University of Georgia, and his wife, Kelly Stafford, who has a football podcast. So is a woman in stem. Who's cooler? Matthew Staff Stafford, who suffered a lateral ankle sprain last week but is powering through. Or Kelly Stafford, who revealed on her podcast that she one time dated one of Matthew's backup quarterbacks in college to make him jealous.
Justin
Honestly, like, that's kind of iconic. Kind of iconic. Yeah. To be, like, happily married with children and be like. Yeah, but, like, in college, I did this to him. Exactly. I dated his roommate.
E
He probably deserved it. No, his backup quarterback.
Justin
Oh, my God. To make him Jack of quarterback is crazy. Honestly, it's a power move. It's a power move and I respect her being like, I'll tell it right now.
E
Exactly. I'll say it.
Justin
I'll say it.
Nick
Yeah.
E
She did end up apologizing to the backup quarterback's family, though.
Justin
Yeah.
E
Because then people started. People started talking about, which, like, she was just telling a story. She wasn't saying anything, but, like, he's happily, like, married.
Justin
Yeah.
Nick
That's a little messy.
E
A little messy.
Justin
A little messy.
E
Kelly.
Justin
I do like that. I think it's was powering through his injury.
E
He is powering through his injury.
Nick
His injury from his wife's embarrassment or the ankle.
Dorit
Walk it off.
Justin
Probably both.
E
I would imagine the streets are saying.
Nick
Matthew Stafford did throw me a pass when I was at the Rams Packer game.
E
Okay.
Nick
That's catch the football. Okay.
Justin
Yeah.
E
And the streets are saying his ankle's going to be fine and he's going to play in this game.
Nick
Okay.
E
Yeah. And then we have the Buffalo Bills.
Nick
Yes.
E
Who is the recently engaged Josh Allen. And Hailee Steinfeld. Who's cooler? Josh Allen, who's the front runner for league MVP this year. Or Hailee Steinfeld, who nominated for an Oscar for true GR at 13, was in Pitch Perfect 2, the babble and music video Bumblebee the spider verse movie. And played renowned poet and famous lesbian Emily Dickinson in a television show that was very unappreciated and canceled. Too soon.
Sandy
I think the answer is quite obvious.
Justin
Haley.
E
Yeah.
Justin
Yeah. I'm gonna have to go. Josh Allen. I was appalled. I'm kidding. No, yeah, definitely. Haley. Sorry, Josh.
E
Yeah, sorry, Josh. But now, who would you rather hang out with in the stands?
Justin
Steinfelder.
E
So Bills.
Justin
Bills it is.
Nick
I'll go Rams.
Justin
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
E
All right.
Justin
I like it.
Nick

Dorit
Great. How are you guys?
Nick
So good. Thanks for joining. Excited to have you.
Dorit
Thanks for having me.
Nick
First of all, your kitchen looks beautiful.
Justin
I was just going to call.
Dorit
Well, thank you. You all look very festive.
Nick
Oh, thank you. That's Justin decorated for us.
Dorit
Did a good job.
Nick
Producer slash interior designer of the show. Are you cooking something right now or is that like Just a piece that sits on top of the stove. Can you give us some kitchen decor advice?
Dorit
It just sits there looking pretty.
E
Okay.
Dorit
I like to have my little crusade pots. I usually put one on the stove because I think they just look nice.
Justin
Thank you for saying that the correct way. I've been calling it the. So I do appreciate the correct terminology of that.
Nick
We have the same one in orange, I think.
Justin
Is it orange?
Nick
I think it's orange.
Justin
I don't think it would look as good on our.
Nick
White's pretty good.
Justin
The white is pretty. I would love.
Dorit
I love those pots.
Justin
I would love to know what would you put in a secret sauce?
Dorit
A secret sauce?
Justin
Like a tangy, like, you know, like a burger sauce or, you know, everyone has, like, their own burger sauce.
Dorit
Well, the burger sauce is usually just mayonnaise and ketchup with some pickle relish in there. I think if you want to take it up just a little bit, put about a tablespoon of the pickle brine in it, and that'll just enhance the flavor, and it gives a little bit more acid and a little more salt.
Justin
Love that.
Nick
Try that out.
Justin
Wow. I will try that out. My go to. And I'd love to know your take on it. Is mayo sweet Thai chili sauce, hot sauce and honey and a little chili.
Dorit
I mean, what could be bad about that? That sounds delicious.
Justin
Delish. Okay.
Nick
I just. I don't eat it, but I know how to make it for.
Justin
He does. I put it on everything. Like a breakfast sandwich. I put it. I make like, these chicken bowls. I'll put it. I put it on a taco. I'll drink it out of the container. You know, up for. Anyone can do what they want. It's pretty good.
Dorit
I love mayonnaise, period.
Justin
Yeah, mayonnaise. I. I love mayonnaise, too. Nick. Nick is an anti mayonnaise.
Nick
I'm. I'm anti mayonnaise. Yeah. I'm an anti manti. Yeah.
Dorit
Do you like ketchup?
Nick
Not really. No. Only with fries. What? Yeah. I definitely was not a ketchup kid. For sure.
Dorit
Wow.
Nick
I was a mustard kid. I know. Olive oil and mustard. That's really olive oil.
Dorit
That's so different. So where did you grow up?
Nick
Wisconsin. Yeah, no, it's. It's a. It's a. Not a. A product of my environment. It's a product of my dysfunctional brain. Yeah. Like, it's my eating habits, my whole family.
Dorit
Picky eater particular.
Nick
Yeah. I like things a certain way, Katie. For sure.
Dorit
Yeah.
Nick
There's just some things I don't eat. You know, I, I, I picky. I find to be a bit triggering of a word, a little judgmental, if I'm being honest.
Justin
I learned.
Dorit
I learned, isn't it?
Justin
I learned this about him the incredibly hard way when he came to visit me in the first time in Georgia for the first time, and I got a, A late flight. I'll cook him dinner. That's fun. I did a grilled chicken. I did sweet potatoes. I did brussel sprouts with goat cheese and balsamic vine. Oh, my God.
Dorit
Amazing.
Justin
And he comes into the house and makes a plate with like one brussels sprout, a sliver of a sweet potato. And I'm like, what's going on here? And he's like, I actually hate sweet potatoes. And I like Brussels sprouts with just, just the Brussels sprouts. No vinegar, nothing on them. No.
Nick
No butter and salt. It's a little olive oil.
E
You don't like Brussels?
Dorit
Sometimes you have to just eat it, even if you don't really want to. Yeah, because she was cooking for you.
Nick
Yeah. No, no. That's where my flaws start coming.
Justin
He can't, he can't choke down.
Nick
Yeah, I tried to. There was this whole Thanksgiving episode with meatballs and turkey that really, you know. Yeah. We don't want to waste your time, Katie, telling you that story.
Dorit
That's so funny.
Nick
You're watching Bev Hills.
Dorit
Oh, I love Bev Hills. Bev Hills and Salt Lake City are my two number ones. I am having problems with Ron right now.
Nick
No, that's because it sucks balls, Katie.
Justin
Yeah, we all are.
Nick
We, we tried our hardest to cover it for a while. We pretended it was good even when we knew it wasn't. Now we're not lying anymore. We're just.
Dorit
It's just not. And like, the way that they spent the whole episode on the prank, like, there's that little happening on the show that they have to devote a whole episode to something that didn't even happen.
E
Yeah, yeah.
Nick
Meanwhile, then you turn on Salt Lake City, and Lisa Barlow is refusing to get on an airplane because she refuses to fly anything other than first class. And she's not fucking around. She, you know, she's dead serious. And that is the authenticity that we love and appreciate.
Dorit
See, the thing about Salt Lake City is that every episode would be a season finale of another franchise.
Nick
Yes.
E
Salt Lake City is one of the best shows on television ever. Ever.
Justin
Great way to imagine.
Dorit
I'm going tonight to hear Heather gay at the 92nd Street. Why she's doing live. She's doing a live. But Bryn is interviewing her, so I kind of wish that they gotten somebody. I mean, nothing against Bryn, but, you know, I'm just not like, big on Roni right now. And I'm going to see Heather right after this. I'm interviewing her for my podcast and I'm dying. I, like, stalked her to get this.
Nick
Tell her we said hi. Definitely tell her to stop being such a chicken shit.
Justin
Oh, my gosh.
Nick
For coming on this show. No, tell her that.
Justin
Oh, my gosh.
Dorit
Well, you don't have to say those words.
Nick
No, no, not your words. Be like, Nick says, stop being a chicken. Just. Just relay.
Dorit
Nick says, come on.
Justin
Yeah. No. Yes. That is the love that Katie. Nick says, come on.
Nick
She's aware I want her on, but I met. When I met Heather, she pitched herself to come on the show and then chickened out.
Dorit
So, hey, listen, she's got a book to sell. Maybe things are different now.
Justin
That's true.
E
She is a good time girl, but.
Nick
Wish her well because we love her. I mean, Sarah doesn't, but I. Yeah.
Dorit
So can we go back for one second to Lisa Barlow on the not getting on the first class plane? Here's what I wanted to know about that whole situation was why did they fly private there and then they were flying commercial home. Like, wouldn't you just, like, the plane would be there for the two days and then you fly at home. Like, was that just for show? Because they wanted to look like they're on this big private plane, but then they couldn't pay to bring it back?
Justin
That's a good point. And it's also like, if you're not gonna fly private, at least be like, hey, girls, got you flight. Got you private here, not private back. So, like, I can get your tickets, but they will be coach surprises that.
Nick
Daddy Starbucks maybe doesn't quite independently own that plane, but maybe like. Like it's like as like a co op. Like a. They. Like, they share it together. Together, Right. Or something.
Dorit
I think it was definitely a charter, but I think that it was like, they probably weren't going to show that they were flying commercial home, but when the situation happened about having to fly in coach, then it became a storyline.
Nick
And that's a professional, though. Lisa, she sees. She saw the opportunity and she seized. That's. That's.
E
She'll go the distance.
Sandy
Or Bronwyn just knew she was about to get $5 million worth of diamonds and was like, yeah, these bitches can take home.
Nick
You can fly Your friends home, or you can have this necklace.
Dorit
Did she get to keep that necklace, though? Because remember, when they showed her the necklace, she said, we'll think about it. And I think that she was borrowing it for the weekend.
Nick
I think she kept it. We could text her and ask her to prove it. Send us.
Sandy
We did ask her.
Dorit
These are the things I want to know.
Nick
Yeah, okay. All right, I will. I won't do it right now, but I will text Brawin and being like, is it real? Can you prove it?
Sandy
Send the photo.
Nick
I am trying to double date with her and Todd, though. I do. I do.
Justin
I. I don't want to be there because I don't. I. I don't need.
Nick
I think he'd be great.
Justin
I think he would be like, I would just maybe be a little nervous to maybe be around him. It's like, I would say something and he would be like, don't say that. You know, and maybe I would. I. I don't know how well I would be in that environment, you know.
Dorit
Uncomfortable when he's on the scenes. Like, I'm worried that he's going to. About something.
Nick
He's just. He's just a guy who just, like, doesn't care or understand these shows, and he's just, like, happy to let his wife do whatever she wants, but not happy enough that he won't complain about it. Like, that seems like a. I get.
Sandy
That he wasn't made for reality tv.
Nick
But it's like, he's a businessman, you know, she's still doing it, bro. Ain't going anywhere. It's not like he's like, you can't do the show anymore. He's just more like, this is weird.
Sandy
You know, I also appreciate when people don't change their personalities for reality television.
E
And I'm like.
Sandy
He's like, I didn't sign up for this. You did. But I'm not liking what I'm seeing coming out of you from being on a cast with these women, which is also not wrong, in my opinion. I'm like, I think some of them will bring out the worst in you in a social setting. As you see every episode, they're always fighting.
E
Yeah.
Nick
Yeah.
Sandy
Like, it's true for him.
Justin
What. What did you. What were your hot takes of this episode of Beverly Hills?
Dorit
Well, there's the whole Kyle Dorit thing going on, and I feel like the two of them are being very tit for tat. Like, you did this, you did that, and it's kind of like, okay, both of you just apologize to the other one and move on. I think the whole thing with Dorit, what she said at bravocon really wasn't a big deal. I think that was a joke and in jest and Kyle's kind of hanging on it. She's probably in a sensitive place right now, so that's what she's latched onto. I don't think it was nice what Kyle said about Dorit of the whole bit about we're really not that good of friends. Like, that's pretty cool. So I think gotta own that. And it's time for them both to move on. I hope this isn't the storyline of the season.
Nick
Oh, God, I hope not. Because it does seem a bit manufactured. And honestly, like, not that I just don't.
Justin
It just seems so clear to everyone else watching that bravo con thing that it's a joke.
Nick
Yeah. And I don't think Kyle is that unself aware or dense. I, I, I, I don't. I, you know, I'm sure she's sensitive, but it's just hard for me to imagine that she doesn't understand. I don't know.
E
Well, do you think that Kyle might just be trying to make something else her storyline that isn't mo?
Nick
Yeah, but, yeah, that's a great. But they're clearly still leaning into like, are we going to get back together or not? Like, oh, he only signed a six months lease. And then like watching it, it was just more like they're almost too civil for a couple that is going through a separation. And I can't help but wonder if they're. If they already have their answer and they're both content with whatever that answer is. And the answer, I'm assuming is they're not getting back together. And this whole, like, will they, won't they? Is all for the. They're. They're just almost too civil. They're so civil that I still, like, every time I see them together, I'm like, get back together, please. Come on, guys.
Dorit
Same.
Nick
There's too much love and respect here. You're not petty. Like, just figure it out. But they're like, they're clearly not figuring it out. And it's like it's, there's a lot of history. Yeah. And it's just. I don't know. So today. Your point, Mary? If that's the case, then like, I, we need Kyle to come up with a new storyline because, yeah, it's like.
E
She'S just like, she's just holding back. So there's just this like, wall between Kyle and everyone else and the audience that like, is just not, it's just not working for me because I'm like, she's just like, she just seems very unsure of herself and like floundering and doesn't know what to do. And she just seems really lost and like, I just want to watch her like be like, do what Dorit's doing and be like, fuck it, this is what's going on.
Nick
We need more, we need more air time for Jennifer Tilly. I feel like.
Sandy
Yes.
Nick
What are your, what are your thoughts on her, Katie?
Dorit
I'm into Jennifer Tilly. I think she's like fun and adds like a light hearted moment to the show. I liked her Louis Vuitton boat bag.
Sandy
Absolutely.
Dorit
I, I think she's, she's good.
Nick
Do you know that she's the Simpson air now.
Dorit
What?
Nick
Yeah, tell her now.
Dorit
How's that?
Justin
Well, I, they talked about it in this episode where she, her ex is Sam Simon. He was like the creator of.
Nick
Yeah, they kind of floated over it.
Justin
Yeah, he's the creator of the Simpsons. They got a divorce. He had. He died and had no heirs. So everything went to his most recent ex wife, Jennifer Tilly.
Nick
Right.
Justin
Lucky. She's like, divorces him like, oh, got nothing, you know.
Dorit
And then forget Bronwyn not having a prenup.
Justin
That's crazy.
Dorit
She's got it.
Nick
She can't keep up with all the money pouring into her bank account.
Dorit
Wow. No wonder she had that Louis Vuitton boat bag.
Justin
Yeah, you can spend money on a boat bag when you've got that much money.
Dorit
I'll tell you what, if I had this was the Simpsons air, I would not be on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I think she's just doing it on my boat somewhere. Forget the boat bag and I would be on the yacht. That speaks and that'd be it.
Nick
That speaks to Jennifer's potential though, because she clearly doesn't need to be there. She wants to be there.
E
I heard that she just like loves the show and is friends with Sutton who's just like, this would be fun to be on it. I think that's what she's just like.
Nick
There to vibe and that she literally has fuck you money. She can say whatever she wants because it doesn't matter because I'm so rich.
Justin
What, are you gonna fire me?
Nick
Yeah. What are you gonna sue? Sue me. Like what? Like please sue me. Honestly, like this. I have too much money.
Dorit
She's got nothing to lose.
Nick
Oh my God.
Dorit
She's one to watch.
Justin
I will Say, I loved Kyle's. God gave you two ears, one mouth. You need to listen. That's. It was a good line.
Dorit
That is a good one, because it is true.
E
Yeah.
Nick
Who amongst the wives would you want to be friends with? Katie.
Dorit
Oh, well, I want to be friends with Heather Gay. That's definitely, like, my number one. And then I think on Beverly Hills, I would really like to be friends with Kathy Hilton. Yes. I've met her a few times and she does not disappoint. But I'd like to be friends. Like, I want to be on the trip to Oceanside. I want that hat. I want one of her pillows, the whole thing.
Nick
She's having a Christmas party next Tuesday in LA that we're going to. It's a lot of fun. She. She had real snow at our party last year in la. You should come. I don't. I mean, I'm assuming you can come. I'm assuming you can get an invite.
Sandy
You can give me.
Nick
No, I mean, like, you can get yourself in, but, like, you know, I. I will. I mean, we can ask for you.
Dorit
Yeah, I. I would be on the plane. I'd be. I'd be right there.
Justin
I was. Did you see Kathy on Watch what Happens Live? Every time she plays that what's in my bag game, she bombs it every single time. The way that she's like, it's flowers. It's like you. We don't get the. It's like, this is your fourth time playing. We don't understand the concept yet. It's like the funniest thing to watch is this woman try to figure out how to explain what is in this bag.
Sandy
The snow globe. She's like, it's. It's snow inside a glass bottle.
Justin
Snow globe.
Sandy
You got it?
Nick
No. Kathy Hill's out of Touch is perfect. It's wonderful. It's so authentic. It's amazing. And never change. And her. Her ring, light her. What was that? Her ring. That was. She's like, I'm gonna wear this today. And I honestly thought she was probably the first time she ever saw something like that.
E
Yeah.
Nick
She probably stole it from her grandchild.
E
Yeah, probably.
Nick
Yeah.
E
I just can't get over her intro to the season. Be literally looking like she was getting the substance injected into her. It was like the best thing I've ever seen in my entire life. I love her.
Dorit
Would you ever sit in there and glam?
Nick
Would you ever be a housewife, Katie?
Dorit
I would not.
Nick
You definitely have the resume. You could do it.
Dorit
I don't know if That's a compliment. Or not.
Nick
It is, it is.
Dorit
But no, I wouldn't because I do think it changes your personal life and I'm very happily married and I'd like to keep it that way. My husband actually used to be a producer on Rony years ago. He was with the old cast. So, you know, I've gotten great stories from him.
Nick
Does he have any notes on what they're doing wrong with this season?
Dorit
He hasn't watched and he actually didn't watch when he was a producer. He did that job. He likes to do like food and travel programming. He was living in la, I was living in New York and he wanted an excuse to be in New York, so he took a job on Rony. So he wasn't as invested as I would have liked him to be, but that didn't keep me from like pumping him for details. But he was on the season. Remember when they went to Columbia and the boat almost sank? He was on that season and he was on a season when they went to Mexico. But I kind of like remember it best by where they were traveling.
Nick
That's incredible. Do you have any hot cooking tips for us for the holidays? What are you recommending? Any quick hitters or how to impress at your next Christmas party? You're invited. Invited to?
Dorit
Well, I'm having a Christmas party next week and I'm doing a ham and martini party. I just planned it last night actually and sent out invitations. So I'm just doing a few friends and I'm making a ham and I'm going to do some pre batched martinis. And I think a really good thing to do, you know, you always find yourself running out of glassware. So get online, find if somebody's having a sale on wine glasses or champagne glasses or martini glasses. And this case, when they're like two or three dollars and buy like 50 of them, keep the boxes and then you can put them back in the box and store them until the next time you're having a party. So like I did that years ago with wine glasses and champagne glasses. I bought 50 of each and every time I have a party, I get those out. And the other thing that I'm really into this time of year, like speaking of the Le Creuset pot, is to make a stew. So if you're having in like six to eight people for dinner, make a big beef bourguignon, get a baguette, make a salad, open a great bottle of red wine and call it a day.
Justin
That sounds delicious. Oh my God. I'm hungry.
Nick
Are you the only cook in your family or does your husband like to cook too?
Dorit
My husband's a great cook, actually, but I don't really let him cook. The kitchen is like my territory and, and I, I, I'm a little bitchy when he cooks. Like, I kind of like, tell him what to do and boss him around a bit and he doesn't love it, so, so it's something I need to work on.
Nick
I love to cook. Nally can cook, but I'm, I'm not, I'm less bossy, I'm more judgmental. I'm more like, I'm more like, why, Why'd you do that? Why'd you do it that way? Like, what, What? You're doing it wrong.
Justin
Yeah, he is absolutely. Like, why would you cut him like that? Is that what seasoning did you just put on the.
Nick
That's an interesting choice, huh?
Justin
Yeah, it's hard.
Dorit
Like, I think it needs a little more salt. So wait a second. So, Nick, you are a particular eater, but you like to cook, correct?
Nick
Yes.
Dorit
So what's on your no no list? And like, what, what do you.
Nick
Literally anything. It's just mayonnaise based. It's just like, you know, American society feels like they should put a Chipotle mail on every fucking thing and a sauce on every. I just. That's it. Like, if you. Short of that, I, I eat everything. It's really just that. Stop ruining things.
Dorit
What about the Brussels sprouts and the.
Justin
Sweet potatoes, the goat cheese and the.
Nick
To me, goat cheese is like, it's like mayonnaise adjacent. It's like anything, Anything white and creamy. Not for me. Like Alfredo sauce now. No.
Dorit
No cream cheese on a bagel.
Nick
Absolutely not. No. No cream cheese, no cottage cheese. No. No sour cream. None of those.
Justin
Yeah, it's crazy if it's white.
Nick
It's not for me.
E
I feel sad for you.
Justin
I know he's missing out on the.
Nick
Things I do cook, which are many things I cook very well.
Justin
He does.
Nick
Yeah. There's a right way of doing things and then there's a wrong way. And if you can't do them right, get the fuck out of the kitchen. You know, like, I just.
Justin
Katie, do you have like six staples that you do over and over or do you have like a plethora of just, you're just. It's something new all the time.
Dorit
I'm always cranking out new recipes because I'm usually developing new recipes for our show for the kitchen. So I end up doing A lot of recipe testing and writing, those new recipes, cooking new things. But then I have my fallbacks that I always do. Like I have an oven fried chicken that we eat probably once a week. I do a lot of sheet pan suppers because I have a 4 year old, so she's not eating all of the stuff that I'm cooking. So when it comes to like family dinner time, I'm. I'm making a lot simpler meals than I used to because I want all of us to be eating the same thing.
Justin
Yeah, see that's like us. We have our six staples and Nick doesn't like to venture out if there's not enough preparation. He needs to be like, headspace needs to know that we're doing a new recipe.
Nick
It'll be like 4 in the afternoon. She's like, let's do something different tonight. I'm like, huh, it's four. I need to like go shopping and process.
Justin
I gotta read how do I cook this thing?
Nick
Like, I know I can close my eyes and make steak tacos, you know, and make them quite well.
Dorit
I get it. I feel like at 4 o'clock when somebody says, what's for dinner? And if I haven't planned it out already, it's like I start to sweat and get anxiety. Like, I want to know, like every Tuesday we're having tacos. Like, I know that that's easy. I do like the old school ground beef. My daughter loves it. And then every Friday we do pizza Fridays, so I know I don't have to cook on Friday night. And then usually on the weekend I do something in the slow cooker because we like to like, get out and do stuff all day long. And that way I know that dinner's already taken care of.
Sandy
Okay, that's.
Justin
That is smart. Does there come a point where you're like, I can't do pizza tonight?
Dorit
Yes, I, I'm kind of sick of pizza. And I didn't know that that would ever be possible.
Justin
Right.
Dorit
But I'm like kind of tired of eating it now that I have it once a week. It used to be such a treat.
Nick
Is that a product of children?
Dorit
I'm like, yes, yes. I definitely wouldn't be having it once a week if I didn't have a kid. Does yours like pizza a lot?
Justin
She actually does like pizza.
Nick
She's.
Justin
We've given her pizza. She does love pizza.
Dorit
Have you done the crust? Like for the. How she just chews on the crust?
Justin
Yes. Loves it, loves it. So it is fun. Now that she's Eating real food to, like, give her little bits of what we have and us all sit together at the table. And so it is. I do think about that when we're like, what are we going to have? You know, we had. Nick makes a great kale salad with, like, a breaded chicken in it, and it's like, okay, well, she's definitely not going to eat this salt and lemon kale, like, so she can have some of this breaded chicken. And, like, it's fun to pull, you know, from our meal for hers, but I think it'll be.
Dorit
That's such a great age, like, when they're starting to try things and. And excited to have it and not picky yet.
Justin
Yeah.
Nick
Well, my favorite, when she, like, she goes from one, like, taste to another, you know, and her face will, like, kind of be, like, shocked and confused and curious all at the same time. I love it.
Dorit
Oh, it's the best. It's like every little thing you're just excited about.
Nick
Yeah. I'm definitely not trying to pass my bad traits on to my daughter.
E
So hopefully you're going to pump her with.
Justin
We give her a lot of. She eats a lot.
Nick
Whatever she wants.
Justin
She eats a lot of scrambled eggs with goat cheese, so that's love.
E
Ooh. I've never put goat cheese and scrambled eggs. That sounds delicious.
Justin
Amazing.
Dorit
Nick, do you eat yogurt?
Nick
Absolutely not. Not. No.
Dorit
What about, like, vanilla ice cream? Will you have that?
Nick
Yes. Yeah, I love. That's.
Dorit
Okay. We found something.
Justin
Something along the white and creamy whipped cream.
Nick
Love whipped cream.
Justin
Loves whipped cream.
E
So you love a cream when there's sugar?
Justin
Yeah. Yes.
Dorit
Okay.
E
Got it, got it, got it, got it.
Sandy
You figured them out.
Justin
You cracked the code.
Nick
That's who I am.
Dorit
Nice ice cream sundae.
Nick
What else went on, Rony?
Sandy
They went on a girls trip. Kathy Hilton did adult duck duck duck goose.
Nick
Okay.
E
Oh, the adult duck duck goose was incredible.
Nick
Gal's back. She made her movie.
Sandy
Garcelle's son signed with LA Models.
Nick
The one with the eye tattoo.
Sandy
Jade?
Justin
No, no, no, it's her young son. He's, like, 13, 14. Young.
Nick
Yeah.
Justin
Maybe a little older than that. Maybe like 15, 16. But yeah, he. And honestly looked like a professional. It looked like he's in his lane that he should.
Sandy
And even going back to the Dorit and Kyle conversation, if that's going to be their storyline, I have to say, it is actually really sad to watch because both of these women are going through pretty similar situations, and watching them be at odds with each other instead of Working together, helping each other out, going with. Going through the separation.
Nick
I want to see them double dating like 28 year olds.
Justin
Okay.
Nick
That's what I want to see. That's twins.
Sandy
I was going more for the women. Supporting women.
Nick
Even better, for sure. Yes. That's how they should support each other.
Justin
Yeah.
Nick
Yes. I know Mo's doing it.
Dorit
Why can't them should be together.
Nick
Yeah.
E
This is like when Stassi and Katie were, like, not talking of Interpol rules, and I was so sad. That's how I feel about Dorit and Kyle. I'm like, I want my. I need my girls to be friends.
Justin
Yeah.
Sandy
Like, this is not the odds that I want to see this season. I want these two to, like, band together.
E
I can't handle Wicked coming out and Kyle and Dorit not being friends. That's just too much.
Nick
Have you seen Wicked yet, Katie?
Dorit
I haven't been, no. I'm afraid to go and have, like, people singing in the theater.
Sandy
Go to amc. They make it so that you cannot do that.
Dorit
Oh, well, then that's where I will go if I ever make it to the movies. I haven't been to a movie, honestly.
Nick
Like, wait four weeks, it'll be on Demand then. Yeah.
Dorit
Yeah, exactly.
Justin
You know, it's so funny. We talked about it on our last reality recap and Nick was like, I haven't seen it. And then gave his opinion and saw people being like. The second Nick said he hadn't seen it, I tuned out because it's like, we don't care.
Nick
No, I gave my opinion on the press release, which I've seen a million times, because it is amazing.
E
Well, we have to hold space.
Nick
Yeah, we gotta. We gotta have to hold space for that. You seem like you've met a lot of famous people. Have you ever been starstruck?
Dorit
I am starstruck every time I'm around Martha Stewart. So I've met her several times and I just. I like. I always feel like I'm, like, shaking when I'm around her and that something dumb's gonna come out of my mouth. It's like I just never know what to say to her. I'm kind of, like, in awe of her. So Martha is definitely the one that I'm starstruck around. And I've. I've met Paul McCartney a couple of times and that I'm always starstruck with him. I mean, he's a beetle.
E
Yeah.
Justin
Wow, those are two. Yeah.
Nick
I haven't met Paul McCartney, but I have been in the same room as Paul McCartney. But my best friend did propose to his wife on stage of Paul McCartney because his. His friend DJs for Paul McCartney. Fun fact. Is there a world in which like you'd almost want Martha to like kind of yell at you and judge you? Because I feel like she's. It's kind of her stick where it's just like say something mean to me and make me feel bad. Like I almost.
Justin
I would take it Mary. I want Mary from Salt Lake City to just like insult me, please.
Nick
Right. Just yum.
Dorit
Mary's whole storyline with her son. Like, I, I feel like I'm watching something I shouldn't be watching.
Justin
I know.
Nick
Yeah, that is, that is. I mean, well said and, and very true. I do appreciate though how she handled it and I do think she is bringing an awareness to a very terrible problem our country and our children are facing when it comes to the access that our kids have to these legal drugs that are the equivalent of like heroin. So that's true. On. On the flip side, how they went about it, yada yada. I think there's. Yeah, it's like, I don't know if I should be watching it, but I mean I really appreciated her authenticity in that moment and the love that she obviously expressed for her child. Tough situation to be in. But yeah, it's totally. It's definitely a heartbreaking. It's as real as it gets when it comes to like topical conversations. But again, speaks to the authenticity of Salt Lake City. You cut to that real conversation to like, the women of New York are playing pickle ball. Yay. You know.
Dorit
Yeah. I'll tell you what. Nobody in on the New York show would ever allow somebody to see their cracks like that.
Nick
No. Yeah. Which I respect because nor would we or nor would you. Which is why.
Dorit
Right, which is why.
Nick
But it's like you signed up for this. Like what are you.
Sandy
Deliver.
Nick
Anyways, Any fun Christmas plans? What do you guys. What do you guys do during the holidays?
Dorit
Yeah, so my husband's family is going to come stay with us. We're planning on just having a very cozy holiday. Very chill. I. You know, we have a lot of friends who come by during this season. We live in Manhattan, so it's kind of like, you know, a revolving door, friends coming around. And I have my fridge all stocked with lots of different snacks so that I can entertain easily. And I have a lot of wine on hand for the season. I have my own line of wines called Kind of Wild. That's an organic zero sugar wine. Mine. So I'VE always got a case of red and a case of white and bubbles and ready to go. So it can be a party anytime.
Justin
We'll be in New York in December. I was just hoping that revolving door was still revolving at that time.
Dorit
Come on over. I'll make a beef bourguignon and we can talk about housewives. I'd love to have you all for.
Nick
We would love to be friends. I don't even know who your husband is, but I aspire to be his friend. And we could talk about making reality tv. So certainly we have a lot in common, so. And. And then we could talk about cooking.
Dorit
I think we all get along.
Nick
Yeah.
Dorit
Perfect.
Nick
I love this.
Dorit
You and I can judge if they try to cook anything.
Justin
Yes. And then our daughters will play together. It'll be perfect.
Dorit
My daughter loves babies. So come on over.
Justin
Let's do it. We'll be there.
Nick
Can I ask you a small personal question? You can tell me to fly. Do you guys ever listen to Billy Joel?
Dorit
No, we don't. But it does seem like, you know, you go to a department store and it's on in the background or, you.
Nick
Know, it's just, is your husband like, fuck this guy. Let's get the fuck out of here?
Dorit
No, he's a good sport.
Nick
He's definitely a good sport.
Dorit
But I do, I love Bill's music. So it's not like I don't like it.
Nick
Bill smoking. Like a true ex wife. Yeah. Love that. Iconic. Katie, thanks so much for joining us. So much fun. Can you please plug whatever you love to plug and tell us the great stuff that you're doing?
Dorit
Well, follow me on Instagram at Katie Lee Beagle. I'm always posting new recipes there and check out my wine kind of Wild wines dot com. And my podcast is all on the table. You know what? That's what you should come when you're in New York, be on my podcast, and we can talk about everything you like and don't like to eat. I'd. I'd love to meet up with you guys.
Nick
All right. All right, we'll see you then.
Dorit
Get in touch.
Nick
All right.
Dorit
Thanks for having me today.
Nick
Thanks for coming. So much fun. Take care. All right. So much fun. Lovely. Can't wait to hang out.
Justin
I know. Same. I can't wait to eat her cooking.
Nick
All right, it's time to get into the Ultimatum Episode one. Guys, if you aren't like. So for those of you don't know, The Ultimatum Season 3 on Netflix came out last night. I think there's like five episodes for us to watch right now or something like that. We've. I've only seen the first episode. It's a much watch. If you guys are looking for something to watch over the weekend, catch up on the ultimatum we get. We'll get into episode through five on. On Tuesdays up episode of Reality Recap. But like, it's delivering. I'm really enjoying. I. I feel like, you know, because it's the same franchise as Love is Blind, same creators, same makers, you know, Nick and Lachey or Nick Vanessa. Nick or whatever the. They're doing their thing. They're doing their thing. They're talking about again, their relationship and how they got together and how like, whatever the. I don't know.
Justin
She issued him an ultimatum.
Nick
Yeah, she issued him an ultimatum. But like, I love. Like there's not enough of reality TV shows that are exploring, exploring like, like couples in relationships and like the. The couples who are like, are they gonna get married or not gonna get married? I. I'm very excited about the potential of the. Of this show. I really. I. So we had. We had season one, that was a while back, and then we had the Queer Ultimatum.
E
Queer Ultimatum, season two. Psychotic and incredible.
Nick
Heard it was very messy. I did not get to watch it. Well, not get. I haven't watched it. Yeah, I guess. Apparently. I'm sure it's still available for me.
E
To stream, I don't know, Netflix.
Nick
Netflix, yeah. Anyway, season three is upon us. I'm excited. Yeah. They have what, six couples? We got Nick and Sandy, Mariah and Kayla, Vanessa and Dave, Chanel, Micah, Scotty and Ariana.
Justin
I'm gonna go ahead and throw out that. The fact that Dave pointed out who he was interested in within like five seconds is insane.
E
And also she didn't like him.
Sandy
Dave is on my shit list. First of all, I was like, I've never seen this show, so this is like, mind blowing for me where I'm like, if. If Connor looked me in the eye and said, we're doing this experiment, but just so you know, I might match with somebody during this dating.
Nick
He goes. He goes, I'm. I find it. I find her interesting.
Sandy
And he goes, and the girl across from us, I find interesting.
Justin
I'm like, all right, Mike Soft. I am not getting engaged to you, sir.
Nick
And her response was, She's 24. And he goes, I just said she's interesting. And I love how that was supposed to be a deterrent for him.
Sandy
Oh, yeah.
Nick
As if, like double dab. He's like, oh, my God. I didn't even know that, but now I'm even more interested, so it brought.
Sandy
Me a lot of joy.
Nick
Yeah, it's great. Who do we think? So there's so many, like, interesting, like, relationship questions that, like, are revealed from watching this show.
E
Yeah.
Justin
Yes.
Nick
Do you judge people's sex ability by their horoscopes? Is that actually a thing? Are people being serious about that? I don't know enough about it.
E
I think Scorpios are serious about it, but it's.
Nick
That's clear watching this show.
Sandy
It's also, like, the only zodiac sign where I feel like that is talked about, where it's like, oh, nope, Scorpio's crazy in the sack, but you don't hear about Capricorns or Leos or anything.
Justin
It's just this.
Sandy
It's like, marketing for Scorpios.
Justin
Libras are also crazy in bed.
Sandy
Really?
Justin
Yeah.
Sandy
I feel like they can't make a decision.
Justin
Huge dick.
E
No. They're people pleasers.
Justin
They're people pleasers. Libras. Yeah.
Sandy
Nick is a Libra.
E
I'm a Libra rising.
Sandy
So great in business.
Justin
Also great in business. Good fathers, good husbands.
E
I don't know. When people in these situations talk about astrology, I'm like, it was like, nine.
Justin
Carrot, I think, from Tokori.
Nick
They're so earnest about it.
E
It's just like, I don't like. The way I engage with astrology is like, when I'm having a tough time, I start listening to my astrology podcast. And then when I'm fine, I'm like.
Justin
I don't need it.
E
But when I'm going through it, I'm like, chani, Nicholas saved me. But, yeah, astrology for dating. I don't know.
Justin
I will say I do not think Nick and Sandy last. I do not. I see her being like, their JR is so sexy. I am like, she's gone.
E
I think she hates him.
Sandy
I'm kind of hoping for another Vanessa. Nick, for those two to pair up. We've got Vanessa, Nick, the host, but Nick and Vanessa on the cast.
E
Yeah. I'm hoping that they're into each other.
Justin
Nick and Sandy.
Nick
Yeah. Nick is dating Sandy because she's hot.
Dorit
Yeah.
Nick
And he wants to believe there's more than there is to this relationship. She. Her voice is. I'm finding it difficult to digest right now. It might change for me there. I don't. I don't even know how to.
E
She kind of looks like.
Nick
She looks like Jess from Love is Blind.
E
She kind of looks like Emily Ratajkowski.
Justin
I think Mariah is so stunning. And it's a good looking cast.
Nick
Like, the whole cast. Well, to do. To make that makes sense, to do this show, you. You have to be in the same leagues.
Justin
Yeah.
Nick
You. You can't. Right?
Justin
You can't want to, like, leave your.
Nick
Current for like, it's already hard enough. I mean, like, it is crazy because now you have Mark on the end of episode one, the classic. I think it just happens. Well, it happened season one. There's always, like, one couple. It's like, I don't think we need to be here. This isn't for me. I already got the answer I want. It's always, like, the one guy who can't make a connection. But in fairness to him, he only. He's got, like, literally five options.
Sandy
You're talking about Dave.
Nick
Dave. I'm sorry. Dave. Dave. Dave. Dave. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like, no one likes Dave.
Sandy
Dave's main option, that he thought he had the best connection was like, I.
E
Don'T like history with you.
Sandy
And then he was also like, wait, maybe I should propose. Like, maybe. And I'm like, oh, it drives me.
Nick
What was the game that they played that, like, ended in drama, that they acted like they all knew, and it was basically, oh, and it's heads or tails.
E
And they all flip heads.
Nick
It was like they all flip heads.
Sandy
It was like adult telephone. It was like them, like, telling a secret, and then if they flipped heads, then they have to share what the secret was.
Nick
I didn't, like, just ask the question out loud and let's get to it.
E
Right after watching the episode and looking at all of these couples, like, none of them are gonna make it. That's my theory. Yeah.
Justin
It's like, what?
E
None of them are what the new.
Sandy
Couples are gonna be.
E
They all seem like they hate each other.
Sandy
They came on the show.
E
Y. Yeah.
Nick
I love it. He was like, hey, we could leave now. And she's like, shut up. No.
E
She's like, no, I want to be on the show and fuck someone else. It's crazy.
Nick
It definitely, like, makes you, like, appreciate what you got, you know? You know, it's a good way to, like, really, I guess. I don't know. Would you do it?
Justin
Would I do it? No. Absolutely not. No.
Nick
What?
Justin
I. Would you issue me an ultimatum?
Nick
I mean, I don't think I would.
Justin
I don't feel like I didn't issue an ultimatum. I was like, I'm out of here.
Nick
That's true.
Justin
Yeah.
Nick
But no, you did issue an ultimatum, and then you Set your boundary.
Justin
Oh, I guess. Yeah. That is an ultimatum to be like, I either, like, we're going to date or I'm out of here.
Nick
Yeah.
Justin
Yeah. I did an ultimate.
E
Yeah, but you did it like a normal way of being. Like, let me not, like, marry my partner or, let's go on a reality show.
Nick
Yeah. Yeah.
Sandy
But can we talk. Talk about that for a second, though, while they're playing these games and everything? And I'm just like, you're looking at your ex, but they're still technically your partner because they want you to propose, but then they're talking about who they would choose if it wasn't you.
Nick
It's so toxic. It's amazing. It's awesome.
Justin
Amazing.
Sandy
Because I've never seen anything like it. I'm surprised that there's not more, like, physical fights. It's like, these men hate each other.
Nick
