Justin Richmond
This is Justin Richmond from Broken Record. Are you the kind of person who sets standards for themselves? Like personally, I told myself if the Lakers lose their do or die Game five, I wouldn't let it impact my mood at home with family. The standard Lexus has set for themselves is to experience amazing. Lexus measures success by the feelings and emotions evoked in a driver, like exhilaration and joy. Amazing can only be achieved by knowing people on a deeper level. The standard of amazing results in machines that make you feel more human, because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing. Experience amazing at your Lexus dealer Hey.

Like, you're like, you went the wrong way. Did you go the right way?

No, I went the right way, but it reminded me of Portugal or Ireland. I've been in Europe and the road is so small, winding up to these.

Tamra Judge
You survived and your friendship survived.
Dolores Catania
I know. Have you guys met before?
Tamra Judge
Me and Emily? Yeah, yeah, yeah, many times. Well, I'll tell you the first time I met her at Andy Cohen's baby shower.
Dolores Catania
Oh, that's oh, my God. That is taken.
Tamra Judge
And you had a stomachache way back, by the way.
Dolores Catania
I don't even remember seeing you there.
Tamra Judge
And you were there, and you were. Shannon. You. You were like. And I was like, oh, my God.
iHeart Podcast Host
Fighting with Shannon.
Dolores Catania
No, me and Shannon were, like, thick. Thick. How do you say thick of the.
Tamra Judge
Thickest, thickest thieves, in the words of Caroline Manzo. Yes, you were thick as these. As. As we say in New Jersey. But.
iHeart Podcast Host
Okay, let me tell you something about that baby shower. That was my first season on this show.
Tamra Judge
That was iconic. You was with. You were close with Gina.
Dolores Catania
Gina.
iHeart Podcast Host
And Gina and I went there together. It was our first season. And they had that big, huge table. Right. For all the housewives. So then everybody goes to sit down for lunch or whatever it was. But, like, there's so many housewives that bring their assistants. So then their assistants supposed to be.
Tamra Judge
Anyone there but housewives.
iHeart Podcast Host
I did not have a seat at the table. I ended up at the kids table, like a kid's table.
Tamra Judge
Emily, I'm going to tell you why you didn't have a seat. Because there was somebody named Danielle. Stop. Who wasn't invited, who got dressed in white as the people. Because there was. If you plan the shower, you dressed in white. So it was Kyle, Vicki.
iHeart Podcast Host
Vicki. Nene.
Tamra Judge
Nene. And Teresa. And so Danielle was not taking no for an answer and stood outside until she was allowed in.
Dolores Catania
Well, you know, Camille Grammer brought somebody, too, that wasn't invited.
iHeart Podcast Host
Okay. And they all sat at the table, right?
Dolores Catania
They all sat at the table.
iHeart Podcast Host
Okay. So here I am. So there goes Gina and I and Denise.
Tamra Judge
Is that why you were. You didn't have a stomachache? You were pissed off that you weren't at the table?
iHeart Podcast Host
Probably, but I wasn't at the table.
Dolores Catania
So. Can I tell you about my seed?
Tamra Judge
Yeah.
Dolores Catania
So I'm friends. You know, I've been. I'm a dinosaur in this industry. So I know she's been around since the Jurassic period. Exactly. I'm 125 in house. In housewife years, it's way more than 125.
Tamra Judge
I'm sorry.
Dolores Catania
Way more 175.
iHeart Podcast Host
So, like, we're talking like, 580.
Dolores Catania
580.
Emily Simpson
Yeah.
Dolores Catania
So I'm sitting at the head of the table. Andy Cohen's obviously at the head. And then there was all these seats. So I was talking to some of the Beverly Hills girls.
Tamra Judge
Oh, Kyle. Yeah, Kyle was.
Dolores Catania
So I'm sitting there talking, and Teddy. That's. That's actually where I met Teddy.
Tamra Judge
You're kidding. No.
iHeart Podcast Host
Teddy was there.
Tamra Judge
So you only remember because Ben is. Well, Ben's only. That would have been six years ago.
Dolores Catania
Yeah, Ben's six.
Tamra Judge
Ben's five. I think he's going.
Dolores Catania
But he wasn't born.
Tamra Judge
He wasn't born yet. So six.
Dolores Catania
Yeah.
Tamra Judge
And Erica Jane, I think bought him Disney. I don't know if I should say.
Dolores Catania
Oh, something amazing. Stock.
Tamra Judge
Some stock.
Dolores Catania
Stock. And Apple or something.
Tamra Judge
Yeah.
Dolores Catania
So I'm sitting down and I'm talking and everything, and then John Mayer comes up behind me and I hear that I'm sitting in his seat and I'm like, oh, I'm so sorry. You know, you can have. And he's like, no, go ahead and sit there. I'm like, no, no, no, no. It's the first time I've ever seen him, met him anything. I'm starstruck.
Tamra Judge
He looked like a deer in head scared for his life.
Emily Simpson
Yeah.
Dolores Catania
And I'm like, no, no, no.
iHeart Podcast Host
He was out of his element. That was not his world.
Tamra Judge
Well, here, how about this? Danielle Staub goes up to him and starts to tell him about a night that she was around him. But he probably doesn't remember because he was drinking and he was like, what? And I was sitting next to Henry Winkler's daughter and wife.
Dolores Catania
Why do I not. Why do I generally.
iHeart Podcast Host
Winkler is the Happy Days guy.
Dolores Catania
Yes, Fonzie.
Tamra Judge
Fonzie. So wait, you know he's a Yale trained actor? Producer. He a very.
Dolores Catania
He was there.
Tamra Judge
No, his wife. His wife and daughter were there. And I was sitting next to them with Danielle Stob.
Dolores Catania
Okay, I don't remember you. I don't remember Fonzie's wife.
Tamra Judge
I remember. I don't remember any of the videos.
Dolores Catania
And then I don't remember Daniel Stobbs.
iHeart Podcast Host
I don't remember her there either.
Tamra Judge
She got up and she went and sat at the head table and Nene knocked her right off the chair. Girl, get. She said something like. She goes, this ain't your seat. You go sit down. I have a video from there of Lisa Rinna and Bruce Bozzi.
Dolores Catania
Bruce Bozzi.
Tamra Judge
So Bruce Bozzi and Lisa Rinna start dancing because everybody's now dancing on the tables. It's out of control.
Dolores Catania
I was one of them.
Tamra Judge
And you. It was like I needed a cigarette after that. Like I needed.
Dolores Catania
It was such a iconic.
Tamra Judge
The. The chemistry and the dancing between them was just so cool.
Dolores Catania
Can I just tell you something? For the first time ever in my life, I met Ben.
Tamra Judge
Oh, you did?
Dolores Catania
So we were doing rehearsal for the upfronts. And Ben was in the green room with a nanny. And we're all out on stage, and we get back, and Ben's sitting there, and Ben, he wasn't having it. He didn't want to be there. Why am I here? This is not fun. And I go, hey, Ben sounds like a housewife. How did we do? And he looked at me and he goes, not well. I go, really? He goes, yeah, Your timing was off. Like, he's such his dad. He's like, there was too much time between this and that.
Tamra Judge
You're kidding me.
Dolores Catania
No. And I went, okay. And then all of a sudden, I hear production crew go, one more time. And I look at Ben. I go, ben, I'm gonna try to make this better. And he goes like this.
Tamra Judge
Oh, he wanted to go home.
Dolores Catania
He's like, ugh, kill me. He just. And so I walked out and I told Andy what he said. He goes, oh, yeah. He like, totally. That's Ben.
Tamra Judge
You're kidding.
Dolores Catania
No. Ben was like, ugh, you're bugging me. This is too much.
Emily Simpson
Why are you here?
Dolores Catania
You're not doing a good job. Do better.
Tamra Judge
Crazy.
Dolores Catania
He was so cute, though.
Tamra Judge
Oh, so adorable. I love when he says my calculations.
Dolores Catania
Oh.
Tamra Judge
Like when he's in the car, he talks about his calculations. Oh, I met Lucy. She's beautiful.
Dolores Catania
She is stunning. Stunning, stunning, stunning.

Dolores Catania
So you guys have met. So, first was at Andy's baby shower, by the way. Didn't know you were there.
Tamra Judge
Okay. I'm a little offended, but okay, okay.
iHeart Podcast Host
Listen, I was there either. And I was on the couch.
Tamra Judge
You were too busy. You were too busy.
Dolores Catania
That's our new cast members.
Tamra Judge
You were too busy making fun of Vicki Golvinson. That's why. Because you were saying that she planned it.
Dolores Catania
She said. She.
Tamra Judge
She's like, oh, here she. They get up and they made a. A speech. And you go, here she goes. Talking about herself, making it about herself.
Dolores Catania
Well, that's spicy.
Tamra Judge
And you were saying.
Dolores Catania
It tends to make it all.
Tamra Judge
That's exactly herself. And then.
Dolores Catania
Wait, how'd that work out for her?
Tamra Judge
One of the girls from Dallas took her extensions out and put it down her shorts and made it look like she had a Merkel.
Dolores Catania
No. By the way, Emily did this recently. Yeah, I have pictures of it in case you.
iHeart Podcast Host
Was it your hair extensions or mine?
Tamra Judge
It. Well, she had this coming out of her.
Dolores Catania
She had a blonde mark.
Tamra Judge
I'm trying to think of what else. I'll tell you. The Beverly Hills girls own that time that night.
Dolores Catania
Well, they.
Tamra Judge
Lisa Rana got up and goes, dance. He pays your bills now. Girls dance.
Dolores Catania
Well, they were at the head of the table.
Tamra Judge
They were at the head of the table. But Tamara, they owned it. Listen, they grew up on stage in. In Beverly Hill. Like, they're very.
iHeart Podcast Host
They were on their home turf.
Tamra Judge
They were on their home turf. They owned it.
Dolores Catania
Whatever. Orange county started it.
Tamra Judge
Huh?
Dolores Catania
Orange county started it.
Tamra Judge
I. I don't care. They own that day.
Dolores Catania
They owned it that day.
iHeart Podcast Host
I wasn't even at the main table, and then.
Tamra Judge
I know you're got up and tried to dance like Nene was doing and like Kyle was doing and fell off the chair.
Dolores Catania
Do you. Speaking of Ramona, do you have a friendship with her?
Tamra Judge
I. I don't. I don't have a problem with her. I don't have a friend. I. I mean, I wouldn't hang out with Ramona. I do have her phone number in my phone, and I can text her and she'd probably get back to me, but we don't hang out. No. But I wish her well. I mean, I don't.
Dolores Catania
Do you wish. Do you miss the days of Ramona? Luann? Sonia?
Tamra Judge
Oh, God. You could not be old New York. You'll never be old New York.
Dolores Catania
Do you think that with the state of what New York is in right now, that there's a possibility they'll bring these girls back?
Tamra Judge
Not all of them, no.
Dolores Catania
Sonia's in a little bit of trouble right now. I think that she got called out for not paying her bill.
iHeart Podcast Host
Is that another one of those entitlement things where they just assume that everything's comped and then, yes, she thought it.
Dolores Catania
Was comped, but she brought five friends to a restaurant. You don't assume. You bring five friends to a restaurant, that the restaurant's gonna comp it.
Tamra Judge
Right. I don't want to be comped. I don't pay for my reason.
Dolores Catania
You owe somebody something.
Tamra Judge
I could pay for my own food, thank you.
Dolores Catania
I mean, I don't hate free. I'm not gonna lie about it.
Tamra Judge
No, of course.
iHeart Podcast Host
Sometimes when things are calmed, it's more trouble than it's worth it. The expectation is too much. It's just.
Tamra Judge
Expectation is for me, because I feel like I, I. I feel like I want. I have to give so much more than I get for it.
Dolores Catania
Yeah.
Tamra Judge
And it puts a lot of pressure on you.
Dolores Catania
Feel like you owe them something.
Tamra Judge
I want everyone to make money. Like, I feel bad.
Dolores Catania
Yeah.
Tamra Judge
Now that I make money. When I first started, I. I was really broke, to be honest. Like, with, you know, it was during the crash, the, you know, bad investment. I didn't make bad investment. But, you know, there was some things when I can. And I. I never felt comfortable, but. Yeah. Do I. Do I collaborate? Yes. But I always make sure I give more than I take.
Dolores Catania
Yeah. No, you don't even have to talk to me about that. When I started the show, I'd have a pot to piss in.
iHeart Podcast Host
Was it easier for you? Because I think about this all the time because I came in in 2018, season 13, which was the height of Instagram, social media, Twitter, the whole thing. So my only experience on Housewives is Housewives. Filming Housewives. But filming Housewives wrapped up in social media, so it's new for you. Was it easier when you got to film and not have to worry?
Dolores Catania
You mean like when they had MySpace?
iHeart Podcast Host
Yeah, like, I'm just saying, like, you could film a TV show, think about, say what you wanted to say, do what you wanted to do. It airs and you don't have that constant.
Dolores Catania
Yeah.
iHeart Podcast Host
Feedback it was have where it's like.
Tamra Judge
It's like bullying. It's like, yeah. A kid goes to school back in the day, they'd be able to go home and they wouldn't have it follow them home. You know how you don't. You get around that? Emily, don't look.
iHeart Podcast Host
No, I get it. But sometimes it's even hard because it's like, even if you're. You know, the show airs and you just even go on it and it just pops up, thousand notifications, and it's.
Dolores Catania
Just like, this is what I think was happening back then. There was accountability. Like, if you did something and you were a complete asshole, people are, like, held you accountable.
iHeart Podcast Host
However, how are you held accountable? Because social media wasn't beating you up. So on the show.
Tamra Judge
So people look at it and they're like, oh, my God, I wish I was a house. Like, a lot of. A lot. Tens of thousands of women want.
Dolores Catania
Yeah.
Tamra Judge
And I. And I am so grateful for this job every day. But it is not as glamorous as you think it is. Comes with a very high risk every day.
Dolores Catania
Yeah.
Tamra Judge
You're always one wrong thing, one fight away, one argument away from making the worst decision of your life that you can't come back from. So it. You know, it's not for free.
Dolores Catania
Well, nowadays it's not even like, oh, my God, I screwed up. I apologize. It's like they want you dead.
Tamra Judge
Yeah.
iHeart Podcast Host
They want you fired. Exiled. What I notice from when we film, and I don't know if you've noticed this too, but I can tell that people act a certain way or say things a certain way because they are afraid Of a social media backlash. Like I think people, housewives.
Dolores Catania
Oh.
iHeart Podcast Host
In general their behavior and alter their opinions because the popular trying to think.
Dolores Catania
Ahead, self producing themselves to what the.
iHeart Podcast Host
Reaction will be instead of being authentic.
Tamra Judge
But that doesn't, that doesn't read well. And one thing about our fans is they're not stupid.
Dolores Catania
No.
Tamra Judge
One thing I can say is they read through people. It's. They know if you're not being authentic and they don't like it.
Dolores Catania
No, they don't. But they can be. Some of the fans out there can be less mean.
Tamra Judge
Most of them, I mean some of.
Dolores Catania
Them are so mean. Like Lisa Renick came out recently and said that the reason why she left wasn't because of her castmates is because of the fans, the fandom.
Tamra Judge
Remember that?
iHeart Podcast Host
Yes.
Dolores Catania
It's Lisa Rena. She's amazing. She's an icon.
iHeart Podcast Host
How awful would you feel if you go all the way to Bravo con because you're there for the fans and.
Tamra Judge
Which one it was watched with Chaplin's live. Is that the time or did she.
iHeart Podcast Host
Get booed more than hers in a room just like where she went in?
Dolores Catania
I don't know if it was a panel she was sitting at.
Tamra Judge
Watch what happens live when we're all on the stage. Yeah. And she came out and she's like, she got booed. She sat behind me. She goes, oh my God, help me.
Dolores Catania
I would have left.
Tamra Judge
And I said, you would have left. You just have to let it play out. And that's the thing I say when something happens and you're getting bombarded, it's like a 72 hour shelf life.
iHeart Podcast Host
That's what Shane always says.
Dolores Catania
Yeah.
iHeart Podcast Host
Give it 72 hours and move on to something else.
Dolores Catania
They'll move on to somebody else if you're lucky.
Tamra Judge
Or something else will happen or maybe hopefully another show will come out and somebody will fuck up. Like I forget what it was, but it was around the time I'm like, oh my God. Because sometimes you could predict the weather more than you could predict what the fans are going to get offended by or like, or be happy with. You can never like sometimes you're so off with what you think. And I thought I said something so wrong on tv. I'm like, oh, it aired or whatever. And then what came out the next day? Jen Shaw got arrested. I was like, phew.
Dolores Catania
Well, that's true. I mean what, like what Shane says to you, like 72 hours. What you said 72 hours. They're gonna move on to something else. It's how you react to it, but it's been lingering.
Tamra Judge
I think I need to up that.
Dolores Catania
Statistic to.
Tamra Judge
More than 72 hours.
iHeart Podcast Host
Have you ever gotten so much hate that you had to go dark on social media where you're just like. I just have. I have to just step away from.
Tamra Judge
It because you know what I do? I don't. You know what I look at on social media? Dogs.
iHeart Podcast Host
That's what's in my algorithm.
Dolores Catania
You know what I'll do? Mine is dogs.
iHeart Podcast Host
Dogs.
Dolores Catania
Pimple popping.
Tamra Judge
Oh, you're sick.
Dolores Catania
And fitness.
Tamra Judge
Oh, my God, that's so.
Dolores Catania
I love a good pimple.
Tamra Judge
Watch, mister.
Dolores Catania
Any kind of pus that pops out of the skin like, erupts is the best.
iHeart Podcast Host
Dana, our camera. Yeah, he has pimple popping in his. Because he works on that. Pimple popping.
Dolores Catania
Yeah, I love it. I know. No, we talked about it.
Tamra Judge
What the actual.
Dolores Catania
Okay, I don't.
iHeart Podcast Host
That is not my algorithm. It is dogs. But you know what I got into? I got into the dog. Like, dog loss. Like, pet loss. And I want to get of that algorithm. Like, I lay in bed at night and. And ball.
Dolores Catania
So let's pivot off that, and let's talk about how you won.
Tamra Judge
Let's pivot off that.
iHeart Podcast Host
You won Traders.
Tamra Judge
Huh?
Dolores Catania
You won Traders.
Tamra Judge
Yes.
Dolores Catania
You won Traders.
Tamra Judge
I did. Holy amazing. It was the best time of my life. It was the best time of my life.
Dolores Catania
Will you do Traders?
iHeart Podcast Host
I mean, I wouldn't turn it down.
Dolores Catania
So I asked Chat GBT to roast.
Tamra Judge
I just brought it up out of my ass. I can't believe you actually have.
Dolores Catania
I actually have it, and I'm going to.
Tamra Judge
This is hysterical. I'm psychic now.
Dolores Catania
So, Dolores, Proof that you can say I'm loyal 300 times and still switch sides more than a Real Housewives with a new boyfriend. She calls herself old school, but really she's just stuck in 1999 with Frank still living in her basement and a flip phone attitude towards confrontation with my ex boyfriend.
Tamra Judge
Go ahead and welcome.
Dolores Catania
And welcome back, scumbags. Her warmest greeting yet. Unless you're Margaret, when she just skips the welcome and calls you a effing. See you next Tuesday.
Tamra Judge
Oh, yep, that's me.
Dolores Catania
She's the only one who can walk into a room full of chaos, throw gas on the fire, and still somehow convince everyone she's just staying out of it.
Tamra Judge
But I never throw gas in the fire.
Dolores Catania
The woman is so calm under pressure. You think Botox reached her soul? And then there's Emily.
Tamra Judge
That's gonna be my tagline. Yeah, I'm so calm under pressure. Yeah, Botox reached my soul.
Dolores Catania
Emily Simpson, the only woman on the Real Housewives of Orange county who can go from I'm a logical lawyer to I will fucking kill you in a span of a wine toss. She'll say she hates drama with tears in her eyes, and then jump into someone else's argument like it's her full time job. She called Tamara Master Lucifer, which honestly, might have been the most accurate legal statement to date. And for someone who keeps claiming she's not confrontational, she sure has threatened more housewives then she's represented in court. Emily treats every group dinner like a deposition and every vacation like it's her personal battleground. And her husband, Shane? Half the time he looks like he's a witness.
iHeart Podcast Host
What is he, a witness protection program?
Dolores Catania
Half the time he looks like he's in the witness protection program just waiting to be dismissed from the scene. Still, she's smart, savage, and self aware enough to know she brings the heat. And she'll argue her point until the reunion lights go out.
Tamra Judge
Oh, yours is better than mine.
Dolores Catania
Do you want to hear mine?
Tamra Judge
Yes.
Dolores Catania
I don't. Tamara Judge is like a walking tequila shot. Loud, strong, and guaranteed to leave someone crying the next morning. She's been on more housewife seasons than she has functioning friendships, and somehow she's still not tired of stirring the pot. Honestly, if drama with cardio, she wouldn't even need. Cut fitness. Let's not forget Emily, since let's not forget Emily Simpson once called her Master Lucifer. Not Lucifer.
iHeart Podcast Host
Master Lucifer, the head Lucifer.
Dolores Catania
You've got to be a special kind of villain to make a lawyer say that with a straight face. She's the only person who can scream. That's not it. That's not my opinion. Likes illegal defense. Throw wine with Olympic precision and hide in bushes like a Bravo trained Navy seal. And every time you think she's gone for good, she pops back up faster than a facelift in Newport Beach.
Tamra Judge
Thank God.
Dolores Catania
Truth be told, Tamara, the show needs you. No one delivers chaos with abs in a scrappy tan line quite like you.
Tamra Judge
You do have a scrappy tan line because you. You could do a spray tan.
Dolores Catania
I could do a spray tan. It's not very pretty, but I could do it. I could do it.

Okay, so I have a couple questions for you guys. If in Emily, this might be very, this might be very close to home for you. If you can swap lives with any other housewife from any franchise for just one day, who would it be?
iHeart Podcast Host
Oh, my God.
Tamra Judge
Well, I.
iHeart Podcast Host
Probably Heather.
Dolores Catania
I, I said the same thing. It's got to be, I want a.
iHeart Podcast Host
Chef and I want to just go to yoga and I want to go to this apartment and then I want to go to this apartment and then I want someone to drive me around and then I want to go to dinner with Terry and, and just have drinks and champagne and then go home and do it all over again.
Dolores Catania
Yeah.
iHeart Podcast Host
I mean, it sounds amazing. Yeah.
Dolores Catania
How about you?
Tamra Judge
I like Shamia's house.
Dolores Catania
Oh, I, I, you know, I met Shamia.
Tamra Judge
Oh, tell me.
Dolores Catania
I met Shamia at the upfronts and she is even more fabulous.
Tamra Judge
I think she's Fabulous.
Dolores Catania
I love than what we see.
Tamra Judge
Her husband's amazing. You can tell, you can always tell somebody's energy when they're married to a good guy. Like, he's just so good with her. And she, she's free to be who she is and what she is. And you know, she's talented and her house is beautiful. She's got the most beautiful life. That's it. And she, and I like her outlook on everything.
Dolores Catania
Yeah.
iHeart Podcast Host
So is she a new housewife?
Dolores Catania
Yeah, she was of on Atlanta for a few years and she is now a full time housewife and she is meant for the job. She's absolutely fabulous.
Tamra Judge
She's, she's running the show.
Dolores Catania
Emily, what do you think is probably the worst reunion look on Orange county.
iHeart Podcast Host
Throughout your years of mine? No, just anyone.
Dolores Catania
Anyone.
iHeart Podcast Host
I don't know because I don't watch reality tv, you see. Although. Oh, Shannon's. Last year. Yes, Sorry, sorry. Yes.
Tamra Judge
Last year.
iHeart Podcast Host
Yeah. I mean, and I would say this.
Tamra Judge
You didn't have yours. Yeah, no.
Menage a Trois Host
Was it last year or the year before?
iHeart Podcast Host
It was the yellow one.
Dolores Catania
It was the year before. So it wasn't last year. It was the year before.
iHeart Podcast Host
Oh, right. Not last year. It was, it was the yellow. Too much makeup. Too much. It was just too much of everything.
Dolores Catania
It was, it was a look. What about you? What was the worst reunion look you've.
Tamra Judge
Ever seen on my show?
Dolores Catania
Yeah.
Tamra Judge
I'm trying to think. I mean, I don't think, you know, it's been so many years. Like, you think of a bad look, but it was in style for that season.
Dolores Catania
So I can't say somebody went above and beyond like, oh, Ziggy wore.
Tamra Judge
She looked like Belle from Beauty and the Beast, her last reunion.
iHeart Podcast Host
Wait, who is this Ziggy?
Tamra Judge
You didn't know her. No, no, but I, I mean, I don't even think she looked pretty. She did not look pretty, but there's no, I don't, I can't recall anyone. I'd be like, ew.
Dolores Catania
I mean, I definitely can look back throughout the years and go, oh, no. What were you thinking? What the were you thinking, Tamara? You know, back in my day, we didn't have glam.
Tamra Judge
I, I, Because I've seen the old.
Dolores Catania
Looks and it was whatever.
Tamra Judge
There was no glam and it was kind of plain, you know.
Dolores Catania
What housewife friendship do you think is.
Tamra Judge
Totally fake right now?
Dolores Catania
Across the board? Any show.
Tamra Judge
God, guys, I've been out of it for a little bit now. I'm trying to think totally fake.
iHeart Podcast Host
Well, what do you think? You watch the shows.
Dolores Catania
I do. I would say Garcelle and Sutton. I feel like the end of the.
Tamra Judge
Day, well, it's over. Their friendship's over. They're not even friends.
Dolores Catania
But I feel like. But then don't you already been marketed as being best friends throughout all the seasons they were on? And with the end of the day, Sutton wasn't there for Garcelle. And Garcelle's always been there for us.
iHeart Podcast Host
Yeah, but if it was a real friendship, do you think it would have just ended that easily and that abruptly, just like it's just done? That's it?
Tamra Judge
Well, I mean, I feel like friendships and on these shows when you're not on the show anymore.
iHeart Podcast Host
But I'm saying because that's because they're not real friends. But don't you feel like if they would have had a real friendship, that there would have been something like. I just don't feel like it. It just. It felt like it was just cut. Like it was just over and that was it.
Tamra Judge
There's a lot of factors involved.
Dolores Catania
It could be the friendship.
Tamra Judge
I. I think that it could have been more of a friendship, but it just didn't take off like that sometimes. Because if somebody's not. Not self aware in the friendship, then it doesn't really grow.
Dolores Catania
Yeah, well, that friendship didn't grow.
Tamra Judge
No.
Dolores Catania
Went right to shit.
Tamra Judge
No, it grew apart.
Dolores Catania
Yeah, well, it didn't until the very end. And Garcelle's like, peace out. I don't want anything to do with this show because, yeah, here you're supposed to be my friend. Nobody's my friend. I'm out. So thank you so much, girls, for being here. We are in Napa. We have this amazing house from vrbo. Like, how beautiful is this place?
Tamra Judge

This is Justin Richmond from Broken Record. Are you the kind of person who sets standards for themselves? Like personally, I told myself if the Lakers lose or do or die game five, I wouldn't let it impact my mood at home with family. The standard Lexus has set for themselves is to experience amazing. Lexus measures success by the feelings and emotions evoked in a driver, like exhilaration and joy. Amazing can only be achieved by knowing people on a deeper level. The standard of amazing results in machines that make you feel more human, because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing.
