Duracell batteries. Because giving someone a gift that needs batteries without giving them the batteries too. That's not a gift anymore.
- [02:16]
C
Plus, Duracell batteries are the only battery brand with power boost ingredients, which are a unique blend of nickel and lithium that can only be found in Duracell batteries.
- [02:27]
B
So make sure those gifts have the power they need on Christmas morning and stock up on the only battery brand with PowerBoost ingredients. Choose Duracell before all the algorithm fed.

B
Hi, guys. Welcome to another episode of the Twat Seat. We are so excited to have on Alexia Nippola. She is obviously a dynamic force on Real Housewives of Miami, and we cannot wait to get the tea from her because this season we're going to need some little droplets. Don't you say Tam?
- [04:00]
C
Yeah. Yes. I mean, she's a good friend of ours. I love her to death. Her and Marisol with. Were in Boston together a couple months ago and they're just so much fun.
- [04:09]
B
Yeah. So I'm excited to see her.
- [04:13]
A
Hi, Teddy.
- [04:14]
C
Hi.
- [04:15]
A
Hi. It's so good to see you.
- [04:17]
B
It's good to see you too. I wanted to start off the pod by just apologizing to you because the last time I saw you, I was complete tumor, Teddy. Unknowingly. And I felt like I was such a mess and I just. You were so kind to me and took care of me and like, none of us knew what was going on. I know, but you were so loving and I'm just so appreciative. So I just wanted to say thank you.
- [04:44]
A
I love you. You're welcome. I love you. I love you like that. I love you. Anyway, you know, I feel like we've always had, like, a connection, you know, me with you two girls that, like, when I love you, you're my friend with your faults, without your thoughts. And that's.
- [04:59]
C
Yeah, we love you. And I was telling Teddy that you would call me, give me advice, and Remember the time I talked to you about her, Teddy, being icu and I said, she just. They just want to get her out. And you're like, no, have her stay there as long as possible because then all eyes are on her.
- [05:17]
A
Yes. She gets better health and scary when you go back home. And yeah, at least that's. That was my experience. So for me, it was always like, I wanted to stay there the longest even, you know, I know the hospitals are hard, but, you know, I felt like when you're in that stage that, you know, you. You're medically, you know, not okay like that you. You need all that so. But I'm so happy to see you, Teddy, and I love that you're such an inspiration. Like, forget about me, but. Yes. So you're always in my prayers, and you know that, La Belita. You know, I do, like, a little candle thing. I have, like, a whole shrine upstairs in my room. And you're always in my prayers because I really do believe that if everybody's praying for you, that is all. Good for you.
- [06:00]
B
Thank you so much. Like, I mean, I. I have vague memories of, like, how I was that trip, and it just all goes to show, like, what was happening inside. But I do remember how kind you were to me, and I'll never forget it, so.
- [06:17]
A
And I forget a lot of things.
- [06:18]
C
These days, and Alexia was going through a lot back then.
- [06:22]
A
That's true, too. Yeah.
- [06:23]
C
Yeah. That was right after the Todd leaving situation.
- [06:27]
A
Yes. Yes. But, you know, you brought a lot of joy and laughter to my night, to Teddy and Tamra and all of us. So that was, like, great that I got to go out there with you girls and disconnect. So you never really know, right, between friends, what we're doing for each other. But at the end, we all appreciate it, so thank you for that, too.
- [06:45]
B
Oh, my gosh. So how are you doing? What is new with you?
- [06:50]
A
Well, I'm doing good. You know, I'm doing good. I've been very busy, as you girls see. You know, we've been, like, traveling for work, and now I'm back in Miami. But, you know, I'm doing good. I'm focusing on me, on my own growth, on happiness, on my family, like always. And, you know, just.
- [07:08]
C
Are you dating?
- [07:09]
A
Just that I'm not. No, I'm not. I'm not dating. I'm not. Would you.
- [07:14]
C
I mean, if you met somebody, if you had somebody.
- [07:17]
A
Myself, purposely? No, I'm not ready to date anybody. Okay. Yeah. This summer, yeah, it's been very, very strange. You know, I felt like maybe in my other breakups, with my marriages, maybe I was. But, you know, this time I'm just focusing on myself. You know, I feel like, yeah, I need to and kind of, like, just take everything in, and I'm not ready for a relationship with anybody except for myself for right now. You know, relationships take a long time, and I don't want that. Like, I'm so happy with how I am right now that I want to stay this way.
- [07:50]
C
That's good. That's awesome. Now, where do you stand with Todd? And is your divorce final?
- [07:55]
A
Our divorce is final. It's been final since March 2025. And, you know, Todd and I care about each other. We love each other. And. And, you know, it's been difficult for us, especially for me, and, well, for him as well, because he was talked about. And it's been difficult for me while I was filming. It's been difficult for him rewatching the show. It's been. It's just been like the hardest experience that I can tell you. You know, it's already hard when you're going through in your personal life. So imagine, you know, your private life and, you know, you're seeing it on camera. So, you know, my emotions were high. You know, I said a lot of things out of. Out of hurt, out of pain, out of anger.
- [08:38]
C
Sure.
- [08:39]
B
And other people said a lot of things, too.
- [08:42]
A
Yeah.
- [08:42]
C
I was gonna ask with Marisol, how was it difficult on your relation, friendship with Marisol? Because she was very vocal about.
- [08:49]
A
She was very vocal because she was going through it with me.
- [08:53]
C
Yeah.
- [08:53]
A
So, you know, and she loves me. She had, you know, obviously her opinions, but, like, as you girls know, a lot of it, too, was, like, in the confessional. I wasn't sitting with her at the confessional, but those were the things that she was saying. And, you know, now watching it back and reliving it back, you know, it was a lot. You know, I just asked her, like, please don't talk about Todd anymore. Like, it's just, you know, and she agreed. And she says, you know, I promise you, I'm not talking about him anymore. You know, I feel like at some point, you know, I believe that he's owed an apology, you know, and that might be. Sound crazy for me to say that, but, you know, I felt like I was the wife. Like, I could say all that stuff because, you know, between relationships, unfortunately, it was. It was on tv. But, you know, you know, all the stuff that we say, you know, when you're in a relationship with a person and you're hurting and whatnot, but it's private. But in my case, you know, some of it became public. You know, you guys don't see the whole story. You know, it's really not a reflection of my relationship. Like, those scenes are really not a whole reflection on my relationship with Todd, because, of course, we had a lot of happy moments, you know, and we love each other and we care for each other, but you guys didn't get to see that.
- [10:06]
C
No, it's only the dramatic moments or the shit talking moments that are gonna be put on the show. Yeah.
- [10:12]
B
The emotional moments.
- [10:13]
C
Yeah, yeah.
- [10:15]
A
And I did have one of those. I did have one of those. Like, that's okay.
- [10:19]
C
You were allowed to, right?
- [10:20]
A
Breaking points that. I didn't even know what was coming out of my mouth because, you know, a lot of it was, like, craziness. I couldn't even hold my thoughts together, you know, because after I looked at it back, you know, when I watched it, and I was like, oh, my God. I said, like, all these things were. Were not true. Like, the fake car, the fake. You know, and what I was actually feeling was like my life felt like everything I'd had with him had been fake, but not the material things. You know what I mean? Because obviously our car can't be fake. But it was kind of like I looked back and I was like, oh, my God, was my whole relationship with him fake? You know, that's. That's what I was trying to say.
- [10:54]
B
Am I living a lie or am.
- [10:55]
A
I living my life? Yeah, exactly. That's what I was trying to say. So, yeah, you look back and you're like, oh, my gosh, you know, what did I say? But, you know, I'm not one of those girls. And you can see from my cast that goes on social media to try to, like, you know, control the story or rewrite the story or narrate the story.
- [11:13]
C
By the way, that never works.
- [11:14]
A
Exactly. It never works. I agree. And, you know, and because I know my truth and he knew the truth. He knew exactly what I was trying to say probably, too. So it's kind of like it never really became a problem. But, you know, I. I know that I speak the truth, but at that point, I was. I was having a breaking point, and everything was coming out wrong from my mouth. But. But, yeah, no, I mean, right now, like I said, I'm just focusing on. On my own growth and. And I'm being happy and on my family and, you know, just going out, staying busy. That's helped me a lot. Being busy.
- [11:50]
C
I know, like, a lot of the girls, including Stephanie, who's a newbie, had a lot to say about Todd and why you were still hung up on him. But I don't know if your mind works like this, but the way that I heard you guys broke up was basically, you came home and he was gone. To me, I wouldn't have any closure with that.
- [12:10]
A
I would.
- [12:11]
C
Like. I would need to know, like, why. What. What's going like, you know what I mean? Something so sounded like that has to be so traumatic.
- [12:19]
A
It was. And that's why you guys Got to see that. Like, it was devastating and, you know, and traumatic for me and. But you know what I learned, Tamra? Sometimes you never find that closure. And you could get really lost trying to find and lose yourself trying to find that closure. So I took it upon myself to find that closure, like by myself. Like, I had to do work on myself and said, you know what? You're never going to have those answers. And you kind of just have to work on yourself and look for them yourself.
- [12:51]
B
And how your boys are kind of.
- [12:52]
A
Like what I did. They're great. Frankie's doing great. So is Peter. He moved to Key west because he bought a franchise and he's going to be living there and working there, you know, as he works on his business. So he's very happy. He's in a really good place in his life right now, dating a nice girl. Everything is, is, is good. Everything is good. Frankie's happy. Foreign.
- [13:18]
B
Here's the thing about being a great gift giver. When you find something truly perfect for everyone on your list, you almost don't want to give it away.
- [13:27]
C
That's what happened with my Quint's order. Everything's so soft and well made. I'm seriously tempted to keep all of it for myself.
- [13:34]
B
Quince pretty much has your whole list covered. Mongolian cashmere sweaters for $50 when you'd normally pay $200 or more, the kind you'll wear on repeat.
- [13:45]
C
Then there's the denim that goes with everything. Silk tops and skirts for when you need to look put together. Cashmere beanies and scarves and down jackets that actually keep you warm.
- [13:56]
B
The Italian wool coats, absolute top of my list. They look designer and are made with premium materials. But like everything at Quint's, the price won't make you panic. We're talking way less than other brands charge.
- [14:09]
C
By working directly with trusted factories that maintain high standards for both craftsmanship and ethical practices, and by cutting out the middleman and markups, Quince is able to pass those savings straight to you.
- [14:21]
B
I can't tell you how much I'm loving my new cashmere sweater. I will be wearing it a lot this holiday season and getting one for my daughter. Slate. Find gifts so good you'll want to keep them with Quince.

Before all the algorithm fed blah and the endless sea of dupes, shopping used to feel more fun. But here's a confession. Twat stirrers. You can find that fun feeling again on ebay. Because on ebay, it's not just shopping, it's a full on fashion pursuit. And when you find the thing that adrenaline hit is real. I have sold clothes on ebay and know the feeling of finding the perfect item on ebay. My daughter Sophia is the one who inspired me to use ebay. She loves it as well. We are big fans. It's about the thrill of finding pieces that feel like me. And I want you to find the pieces that feel like you. There's always more to discover. Ebay has millions of pre loved finds from hundreds of brands backed by ebay. Authenticity guarantee. Ebay, things people love. I've already seen the episode because I'm going to be on watch what happens live. So they sent it to me and I watched it yesterday at the gym. And it was nice to see both your sons, you know, at the event. And Peter looked great. He looked happy, look healthy, he looked concerned. He just looked like everything's going well.
- [19:20]
A
Good, good, good. Yeah. Oh, that's right. So you guys saw the finale?
- [19:24]
B
I did. I haven't yet.
- [19:25]
A
Oh, okay.
- [19:26]
C
And what.
- [19:27]
A
What did you think about it?
- [19:29]
C
Holy, holy. Oh, my God. We have to talk off camera. Yeah, I'm sure you know I'm on with Adriana.
- [19:40]
A
Yeah.
- [19:40]
C
And watch what happens live so she.
- [19:46]
B
Can we talk a little bit about Adriana, why we're here?
- [19:49]
C
Please, let's.
- [19:51]
B
So I have some confusing things that I. So I felt like either this entire season, granted, I have not seen the finale, she's either silent or she's like going after somebody, yelling in a very dramatic way. Like, was her birthday really weighing on her that much or like, what was going on?
- [20:13]
A
Well, I mean, I feel like Adriana likes to play the victim card and likes to get sympathy, you know, from some of the girls. And that this exactly what you saw, Teddi. That's exactly how it is. We felt the same way in the friend group. She was either just sitting there quiet, like not engaged at all, or if she would come into a scene, like, towards the end, it was like she was extra. She was, like, crazy doing crazy.
- [20:37]
C
Is it brought up at the reunion?
- [20:40]
A
Actually, no. Because I don't know if you feel the same. Tamara and Teddy, like, at the reunions, it's like, it happens so quickly. It's kind of like, watch what happens live. There's so many things to cover. Remember, our cast were nine women, so it's like there's so much. And even though there's friends, but they have personal stories, too, so they all have a package. There's, like, so much to discuss. And then when I walk out of the reunion, I'm like, wait, but I forgot to say this, and I forgot to bring this up. And we didn't address that. So I feel like if we do have another season, which I'm sure we will, that we should start off, like, by all those. That. All those things that we didn't talk about at the reunion. It's kind of like, even though even our reunion is like a cliffhanger, it's like, okay, there's still more to say and some more to do. But she has had that kind of a season. You know, I felt like she didn't do much, and then when she does, it's just to, like, come in and, you know, go crazy or like, just, you know, not make any sense.
- [21:32]
C
How soon after you film the reunion do you guys find out who's coming back and who's not?
- [21:37]
A
Well, we filmed the reunion in August, like, the first week of August. So we don't. We don't know. We. We know. We. We don't know. That's the truth. We don't know. At this point.
- [21:46]
C
There's been a lot of, like, reports out there. There's speculations that there's a few girls on the chopping block. And I always say, like, when we do our reunion and then it airs, we have a couple months of just downtime, and then we find out if we're coming back or not.
- [22:02]
A
Right. That's how it's been with us in the past as well. Yeah.
- [22:05]
C
Every franchise.
- [22:06]
A
I think that what happening is, is that viewers are looking and, you know, the bloggers are weighing in, and, you know, there's public opinion. It's like trial, you know, by the public. And everybody has an opinion, especially for some girls more than the other, that they've had a tough season this season. So people are, again, speculating and saying that, you know, certain girls are not going to be asked back.
- [22:29]
B
If you were to have Three words to describe the reunion. What would you say?
- [22:34]
A
Hmm? I mean, for me, I want to say, well, it was intense. I mean, it was emotional. And I want to think that there was like, it was unpredictable. Like it was, you know, I want to know.
- [22:49]
C
I know you can't tell us, but I am dying to know what was in that box.
- [22:52]
A
That.
- [22:52]
C
That Adriana.
- [22:55]
A
Well, you know, she always has to bring a prop. She always has to bring a prop. But, you know, I now that you bring that up, once you know what's in there and you see other things developing in the reunion, you're going to know that what that person is saying is truth. Like, if you put everything together, I know you girls are smart.
- [23:16]
C
Yeah.
- [23:17]
A
You're going to say, like, okay, I get it. Yeah. Oh, you're going to get it. Yeah. We were just like falling off our chair. It was just like. But you know what? Then some people won't be surprised. You know, I was surprised. You know, we'll see how, you know.
- [23:31]
C
No idea. And then Andy's like, what is it? Is Marisol's liver right?
- [23:35]
B
And then she's like, get that off my foot.
- [23:37]
A
Yeah. Oh, my God. I mean, she does bring in fun moments. I mean, I can say that, you know, she's. She's either like really quiet or, like, really funny. You know, those are like her two.
- [23:49]
C
She wasn't quiet on the season finale.
- [23:52]
A
No, she wasn't, because that's when she started it. So. And she wasn't quiet in the reunion either. You know, you know how these, you know, some girls do this for, like to secure a next season, you know, because they haven't.
- [24:03]
C
I'm always suspicious of a. Of a cast member that's pretty quiet through the whole season. And then the season finale, in the reunion, they have like big giant reactions.
- [24:12]
B
Uh huh.
- [24:13]
A
Big giant moments. And it's kind of like, okay, we know why you're doing it. And you know, I also have. I've been having a problem this season watching some of the girls in the group going onto social media and kind of just like, you know, manipulating the whole story, you know, trying to rewrite the story. Yeah.
- [24:32]
C
Changing. Yeah.
- [24:32]
B
There's all this stuff between Larsa and Lisa.
- [24:35]
C
Lisa. Today was it today. Something came out between Lisa. So things don't get better for them after the show.
- [24:44]
A
So actually, after the reunion. Yes. You know what? What the viewers have to understand too, which I know you guys know and I always talk about this, is the fact that we filmed this over a year ago and then we're watching it. So there were in a good place after we finished filming and then we watched it. So they went through all of that. But, you know, Larsa stayed quiet. That is the truth. You know, I feel like Larsa stays quiet, I stay quiet. Marisol on social media and I feel like that's how it should be. And you know, some of the cast members didn't, you know, some of the cast members go online and then they also talk to bloggers and then they give information and they kind of like want to jump ahead of the story so they can manipulate the audience and they could be like on their side or they can start persuading the audience. And first of all, that's so much work. Like, I can't do that. I don't have the time, I don't have the energy. I'm not interested. And you know what? And I always believe like what you're seeing like that, you know, that's like what it is. You know, why do you have to go defend yourself, you know, sometimes online? Because it gets really crazy online. I don't like that online thing. So.
- [25:45]
B
Yeah, so I guess this came from Page Six. Larsa recently told Page Six that Lisa and Gertie aren't really friends and are like the lost kids at school. Would you agree with this?
- [25:58]
A
Yes, I would agree with that. And you know, I don't know why Lisa's mad about that. Because, you know, and you as an audience, as a viewer, tell me also, like, Lisa's never been friends with, with Gertie and unfortunately she and Larsa have a fallout and, you know, Lar and Lisa becomes friends with Gertie that she was never friends with. And you guys can actually see that she became friends with Gertie when Gertie tried to help her in Sevilla. It is, it's super sus because it's what you guys are seeing. But yet, you know, they're trying to control because they ran out of like friends, you know, kind of sort of saying, you know, with the same token, Lisa can say, well, Larsa, you became friends, friends with Stephanie because you knew that, you know, you and I weren't going to have a friendship this season and you didn't need a new friend. I've actually told Larsa that too. So, like, it's fair. But I don't know why Lisa gets so upset about it.
- [26:50]
B
She cut back saying, larsa didn't speak to you or Marisol for 10 years and only came back because she lost the Kardashian friendship. What do you say, I don't understand that.
- [26:59]
C
So she's saying, like, when you guys were off season, like, when you guys were okay. So she's like, they. That she didn't talk to anybody. Did you guys ever hang out with her?
- [27:07]
A
Yes, I did. So. But what do my thing for Lisa is that. What do Marisol and I have to do with your problem? With what Lars is calling you out. Why are you trying to stick Marisol and I into this? Lars is calling you out and calling out your friendship with Gertie. What are you trying. Why are you trying to bring Marisol and I into it? To deflect the father.
- [27:26]
C
Yeah, I was going to say, is it deflecting?
- [27:28]
A
Yeah, of course it is, because that's what she's trying to do and then trying to create a problem with us and Larsa, which, by the way, we have none of that. Larsa puts in a lot of effort into our friendship and vice versa. Like, we. We like each other, we hang out. And even those 10 years that we were not on TV, Larsa was living in California, but she was one of the first people that reached out to me when Herman passed away. Whenever she was in Miami, she was very sweet.
- [27:55]
C
I love Larsa.
- [27:55]
A
And even I have pictures, actually, that she sent me with Herman and Scotty when they would come and they would stay at the Wood and she would invite me to her birthday parties. She would come to the venue parties. I mean, it's like. Like Lisa doesn't have to know that, but the fact that she's trying to bring Marisol and I into. Into that makes no sense to me. Like, if you read it, I'm like, what is this? Like, are you.
- [28:19]
C
Are you and Marisol on the outs with Lisa?
- [28:22]
A
We're not. I love Lisa and I like Lisa. But, you know, as a friend, I have to tell her that Larsa has every right to say what she says. That's her opinion. Just like Lisa can say, well, the only reason why you became friends with Stephanie is because you didn't have any friends either. Besides, you know, she does. Larsa does have friends. You know, Larsa is friends with me, with Marisol, with. She's a lot of friends she has. And Stephanie, she's the only person she is. And the only person that she unfortunately had that fallout was with Lisa.
- [28:52]
B
Yeah.
- [28:53]
A
Because even with Adriana, she's trying to get along with. Adriana is the one that, you know, that's never like Larsa. But, you know, I really think that Larsa does make an effort. You Know, to be friends with everyone. And especially this season.
- [29:04]
C
Well, she tried to move on with Lisa and I thought they were in a better place.
- [29:09]
A
They were like I told you. And even after the reunion, they were in a better place. And you'll have to watch so you can see. But then what happens is social media. There you go again. They post and watching the show.
- [29:21]
C
As soon as they watch the show and what somebody says about you and your confessional and.
- [29:26]
A
But you know what happened? They were great. And then somebody posted something on social media and Lisa commented. Facts.
- [29:34]
B
Yeah.
- [29:35]
A
And then that's when, you know, it triggered Larsa and Larsa's like, I thought we were good. Like, why would you agree with the nonsense that the blogger or whoever is writing in their caption? Like, just stay quiet. Like, can we just like, make, you know, a pact to just stay quiet and not go on social media to take this? Because then it takes you back to that bad place again.
- [29:53]
B
Yeah. Speaking of Lisa, do you see an engagement in her future? We've been seeing a lot of that going on.
- [29:59]
A
You know, I.
- [30:01]
B
Dinners.
- [30:01]
C
Yeah.
- [30:02]
A
Yeah. But, you know, I appreciate that Jody was honest. Yeah, me too. Yes. I thought that was a great scene. You know, it was hard to watch, obviously, because we love Lisa. But you know what? Sometimes you have to have those uncomfortable conversations. And, you know, I felt that we had a lot of good things to say and he was being honest and I appreciated it. Now what's going to happen from that? I don't know. You know, and this season's been really hard for her and Jody, you know, because Jody's been involved in it, you know, unfortunately. So I know how that is, and that really takes a toll on your relationship.
- [30:37]
B
And do you like Jody?
- [30:39]
A
I do like Jody. I do like Jody.
- [30:41]
C
I like Jodie, too. Like, the beginning of the season, he kind of. He got it. He got it. And I was on the phone with Lisa and Jody and they were talking about it, and I believe Jody did the ed's podcast and explained things now.
- [30:54]
A
Yeah. You know, it's hard. These shows aren't about the guys, Tamara. We know that. So it's like, you know, the fact that we can sit here and talk about each other's husbands without even really knowing them. Like, it's. It's hard for them. And then we have a chance to explain ourselves, to come back. You know, we have four months of filming, but they don't. So, you know, it's a really hard positioned, you know, for them to be.
- [31:17]
C
Well, I paid attention to his Eyes the entire season, and they were consistently the same, so.
- [31:23]
B
Yeah, the same the entire time.
- [31:25]
A
Yeah, he just has those kind of eyes. Yeah.
- [31:28]
C
Guys, now, me and Teddy disagreed on the newbie. Stephanie. We disagreed.
- [31:34]
B
Who do you think? Who do you think loves her, and who do you think is by her?
- [31:40]
A
Hmm? I don't think. Okay, so I think that Teddy likes her. No, no, wait, no, hold that. Wait, wait, wait. No, Teddy's not gonna like her because Teddy does not represent any of that. And I feel like Tamra thinks. Yeah, no, no, sorry. I got confused with Teddi and Tamara. And Tamara could think she's good for the show, and there's some things. Tamara thinks she's good for the show. I agree with you. Yeah. But I can see Teddi not liking her at all. Like, she doesn't align with. With Teddy at all.
- [32:11]
C
It's like. It's like Bronwyn in Salt Lake City. Like, for a newbie. Like, she came in and she was hot, and she says all these things, and I feel like Stephanie's the same way, because there's a learning curve for some girls that come on to a housewife franchise and they don't know what they're doing. They're afraid to talk. But not Stephanie.
- [32:29]
B
I love her for the show. I just didn't love the bragging.
- [32:32]
A
Yeah, same.
- [32:33]
B
Bragging is really hard.
- [32:35]
C
Do you think she brags in real life like that, or was it.
- [32:39]
A
She does. I mean, she does because I just like her personality. I don't think she's doing it. I don't think she's doing it to, like, hurt anyone or, like, to think. But I just think it's part of her personality. Yeah, she's like, I'm rich and I love it, and I want the world to know about it, and I don't care. And I'm not apologizing for it. That's, like, her attitude. So she doesn't even see it.
- [32:59]
B
Well, no, she says this last.
- [33:01]
A
No, I meant, like. Like, what did she say? This last episode.
- [33:05]
B
This last episode. She was like, oh, I never brag about my money. I never say anything about. And I was like, what?
- [33:14]
A
Okay. Watching the same show as us.
- [33:16]
C
She didn't understand flashbacks, because they show flashbacks of her bragging about all kinds of shit.
- [33:22]
A
Thank you. Well, I also feel a lot of the girls lie a lot on our show. Like, I mean, we have that on every show.
- [33:27]
C
I hate that.
- [33:28]
A
I. Oh, my God. That's. Hate it. That is the worst. I can't. And I'm like, it makes me want to the end. Like you said, they put the flashbacks. How can you say, oh, I don't brag, I don't brag. And then everything is about you bragging, like what don't you understand?
- [33:40]
B
Right?
- [33:41]
A
And then in the reunion it's the same thing. They literally sit there and lie. Like, you know the person you're going to be on with tonight is going to do the same thing. She's going to lie about her not saying ratchet. You know, and it's like she said ratchet. Like we were all sitting there. She said ratchet.

Algorithm fed blah and the endless sea of dupes, shopping used to feel more, well, fun. But here's a confession, Dirty Rush listeners. You can find that fun feeling again on ebay. It's not mindless scrolling. It's a fashion pursuit. I love using filters for condition and price saving searches and spotting verified listings. It makes shopping feel smart and exciting again. And when you soar that rare Adidas Collab or that Dior saddlebag you've been manifesting, it's a rush. Ebay has millions of pre loved finds from hundreds of brands backed by ebay's authenticity guarantee. Ebay Things People Love did you know.

With the season finale, there is a talk about that. Marisol got herself in a little bit of a pickle with that.
- [38:45]
A
She did. And you guys want to see. But you know what? I'm glad that she did. I'm glad that she did. I thought it was, you know, she needed to have a moment like that and she needed, you know, you guys will have to watch and see, but you're absolutely right. But you already saw that. So you're gonna be on with but she's the one that sits there. And even though there's all this evidence and all this proof and she still says that. She did not say ratchet. You know what? Own it. Apologize. Say you know what she said. I don't know what. Yeah, but she said it. But she still sits there. And you'll see in the reunion. And. Yeah. Lies about it. I was like, wow. Like, that's. That's crazy shit. Yeah.
- [39:22]
C
Yeah. Do you think it's hard to have a best friend on the show with you?
- [39:27]
A
You know, it's. For me, it's only been good because Marisol is the kind of best friend that she. She likes to laugh and drink and have fun with it and all that. But, you know, we also. And we were. We are good friends outside of the show.
- [39:42]
C
Yeah.
- [39:42]
B
Yeah.
- [39:43]
A
But unfortunately, sometimes the show. Life gets involved in the outside. Outside of the life show. And sometimes, you know, we could bicker, you know, about certain things or have different, you know, opinions or, you know, say, I don't like the way you handled this, or you should have handled it. You know, we. Because even though we're best friends, we're very different, you know? And I know they like to say we're twins, but we have different. I don't.
- [40:05]
C
I disagree with that. I don't think you're twins. I think that you guys call each other out on camera where there's some girls that are best friends on certain franchises, and they back each other up, even if it's a lie, and they, you know, talk for the other person. And you guys don't. You don't do that.
- [40:22]
A
Right?
- [40:22]
C
You don't do that.
- [40:23]
A
I don't do that. I don't do that. Because in my real life, I don't do that. In my real life. This is how I am with my friends. No, you.
- [40:28]
C
You kind of tossed her under the bus a couple episodes ago.
- [40:31]
A
Yeah.
- [40:32]
B
When you guys were in the. The spa or wherever it was.
- [40:35]
A
Yeah. Because that's why they say. Well, that's why they say a Marisol's mouthpiece, because I feel like sometimes she's afraid to say the whole thing. And I told her, marisol, you need to tell Stephanie. And I didn't even explain myself so well there. So what was happening was. Is that Marisol was disappointed, upset, mad. Whatever adjective you want to describe at the fact that Stephanie came into the group and she befriended Adriana only because Marisol had told her if, you know, she asked her, who should I be careful about in the group? And Marisol this was off camera before she started filming. And Marisol said, adriana. Because Adriana does have a history of coming for people and bringing rumors and spreading lies. So Marisol was being a good friend to Stephanie, thinking that Stephanie was going to be a good friend to her back. And Stephanie, instead of taking that information and keeping it to herself, she went and did a lunch, invited Adriana to lunch, and kind of, like, cut a deal with her behind the scene and said, listen, Marisol told me all this stuff about you. I'm not going to believe it. I'm going to give you a chance. And that's. And I told Marisol, but, Marisol, you need to tell people that, because that's, you know, the viewers.
- [41:51]
B
Because we didn't know that. We didn't know that.
- [41:53]
A
Of course. Of course. I go. That's so important. And I go, because that's why the whole rift thing started, because Marisol's like, this is so weird. Like, you know, I thought we were going to be friends with Stephanie, and all of a sudden, like, Stephanie is, you know, friends with, like, my enemy that's coming after me, and I'm so confused. And then Larsa told us that Stephanie and Adriana had had lunch off camera. And then that's when Adriana turned down Marissa. I don't like that either.
- [42:21]
C
I don't like that either. I don't think it's fair. I don't think it's right, you know, to have, like, a cast member go and meet a newbie, like, and, you.
- [42:30]
A
Know, what happened that that changed the whole story? Because what happened when Adriana had that information that Stephanie told her? Adriana turned on Marisol and said, we had. The next thing was, like, the yacht party. And that's when she insulted Adriana. I mean, insulted Marisol. That's another good question. Like, okay, why. In the beginning, when we all started the season, we were all friendly. And by the way, Adriana apologized to me about what she had said about Todd. She said that she had lied, that she had no business saying he had financial problems, that that was a lie. She apologized, you know, for causing, you know, a problem between Todd and I because of that comment. So she had all that. You guys never saw that. But, you know, we had a scene like that, and. But then two minutes later, she turned on Marisol. And why? Because she had that information that Stephanie had told her. You know, it. Marisol told me to be careful with you. How.
- [43:26]
C
How are Adriana's knees? Does she have nice knees?
- [43:29]
A
Oh, I don't Know, but she wears pantyhose. She wears pantyhose all the time, so I don't know. So the baby.
- [43:34]
C
I mean, because as a woman in my later 50s, like, my knees are sagging. I'm not gonna lie.
- [43:41]
A
Same mind.
- [43:42]
B
Yeah.
- [43:43]
C
My skin's sagging. There's not like, you know, it's part of aging. Of course I'm looking at him like, I get my knees fit.
- [43:51]
A
We have to see. We have to see how Marisols come out and if Marisols. Yeah, and the. The hands also. They also do the hands. And.
- [43:58]
C
Well, Dolores did something recently in her hands also.
- [44:02]
A
I think it's the same procedure.
- [44:04]
C
Oh, is it? Well, that maybe I need to get it done.
- [44:09]
A
But you know what, guys? We have all this pressure already, like, being on TV and being criticized, you know, on social media, how you look and all that. And it's so. It's so disappointing that Adriana's here, you know, complaining about her age and, you know, making it, you know, get. Trying to get sympathy from everyone and all that. And then with the same token, she's, like, insulting Marisol, calling her an old. And, you know, it was so inappropriate, and it's so wrong. But then, you know, those things happen.
- [44:39]
C
And then she always been, like. Didn't want to talk about her age or ashamed or embarrassed. Like, I don't even know what the word is. Like, what. What does she care about her age?
- [44:51]
A
I know especially that she's alive, first of all, because a lot of people don't.
- [44:55]
C
Yeah, the alternative. Yeah.
- [44:56]
A
Yeah. I was like, what are you talking about? I lost my father when he was 52 years old, by the way. So, yeah, so I'm like, you know what? Like, I didn't even have words for her because I thought that it was. And I couldn't believe that we weren't even calling her out. But of course, you know, that wouldn't be good TV. But the fact that you're 59 years old and you're alive, you're healthy, and you should be grateful. Like, that's what you should be doing. You should be. And you look good. I go, and you look good. What are you complaining about? Like, life has been good to you. Like, what are you complaining about?
- [45:26]
B
And then, just in closing, what can you tell us about the reunion? I mean, we heard a lot has gone down with Gertie.
- [45:38]
A
We've heard. Yeah.
- [45:40]
B
Or, like, what would you say is the big defining moment of the reunion?
- [45:44]
A
You know, I think that we. We all had strong moments in the reunion. You know, I felt like, you know, we all, like I said this season, you know, even Kiki had her personal life, you know, personal story. So did Marisol. So this reunion is a little different, I want to believe, from the past because we all got to share our stories. So we all had our moments. We, each and every one of us had a moment. But then there's the moment, right? The biggest moment. And you're gonna have to watch for that. And I can't wait to talk to you girls.
- [46:17]
C
I can't wait.
- [46:17]
A
I can't wait. Maybe, maybe you're not surprised. Maybe I'm naive and I was surprised. I don't know. But we'll see.
- [46:25]
C
I have no idea what's in that box, but I want to know.
- [46:27]
B
Me too. Well, thank you so much for joining us. We've missed you. You look beautiful. Thank you.
- [46:34]
A
Yes. Thank you. And good luck. Good luck.
- [46:37]
C
I wish I was on. I wish I was on with you tomorrow night.
- [46:41]
A
I know. I wish I would have been with you. But where would we have sat?
- [46:47]
C
On both sides of Andy, right?
- [46:49]
A
Both sides. I love that.
- [46:51]
B
Oh, my gosh.
- [46:52]
A
Yes.
- [46:53]
B
So good.
- [46:53]
A
Oh, my God, it's so good. Love you girls. I'm so happy to see you. And when I'm in la, I would love to do the podcast there with you girls, too.
- [47:00]
B
Oh, we would love that.
- [47:01]
C
Yes. In person. Yes. Congratulations on an amazing season. And we'll, we'll see you in at Bravo Con.
- [47:08]
A
Yes, we will. Can't wait. Are you girls going to be there? Your podcast?
- [47:12]
B
Yeah.
- [47:12]
C
Yeah.
- [47:13]
A
Oh, my God, how much fun.
- [47:14]
B
I know.
- [47:14]
A
Can't wait.
- [47:15]
B
So, okay, we'll get more tea then.
- [47:18]
A
Okay.
- [47:19]
C
Love you so much.
- [47:20]
A
That's it.
- [47:21]

Bye.
