For Listeners Who Missed the Episode

You didn’t just miss a recap—you missed:

• Emotional depth hidden in the most unlikely places, courtesy of Amir and Natasha’s arc.

Ending on a cliffhanger: Will Sky and Tanina reconcile, or is this friendship as over as the 101 on a Friday night?

By this point in the year, routines are real, not aspirational. And when it comes to supplements you're taking every day, trust really matters. But choosing the right supplements can be confusing, especially in a low regulation space, which means a lot of products cut corners, skip testing, or don't fully disclose what's inside. That's exactly why I choose Momentus. They've become the high trust brand in a low trust category. They weren't satisfied with the industry standard, so they built the Momentus standard. Their commitment to doing things the right way, not the easy way. What truly sets Momentous apart is their testing and transparency. Every product is independently certified by NSF for sport, meaning it's tested for contaminants, heavy metals, banned substances, and verified for label accuracy. So you always know exactly what you're putting in your body. And if a product doesn't meet their standard, it never hits the shelves. Right now, Momentous is offering our listeners up to 35% off your first order with. With promo code Acast. Head to livemomentous.com and use promo code Acast for up to 35% off your first Order.

And that's it now, Persian style.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Yeah. The Valley Person style, season one, episode six, Desert Storm.

[Ben Maner]

Yeah. So sky has been in a fight. Awkward title.

[Co-host or Commentator]

So we. Yeah, so go ahead.

[Ben Maner]

Sky and Gigi have been fighting. We're in the middle of this, like dinner that they've had, they're having. And sky has basically said, you are like the tissue that I wipe my nose with. And then she like gestures and drops an invisible tissue on Gigi. And Gigi's like, oh, you dropped your invisible tissue on my foot. And everyone's mad at her because she's so prissy and she's so stuck up and she wants to go to Erewhon.

[Co-host or Commentator]

And Amir's like, I love living in Woodland Hills. What's wrong with the Valley? And Bob shots? Like, I just have to say something. It sounds like an excuse, but honestly, I've never ever seen this, ever. I was like, I thought you were going to stand up for your wife.

[Ben Maner]

I know.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Still nothing. Your wife just walked off. You're still going to say nothing. And he's like, I don't get it. I hate conflict. I don't get what's going on with these people.

[Ben Maner]

It's like, I've never seen this side of her. I'm like, you literally see no side of her because you sleep in a different room. She's like, my mind is like, why is she getting out of hand? I've got to admit, I just don't like conflict or my wife, for better or worse.

[Co-host or Commentator]

And he says, I'm telling you right now, she's not herself. Yes, she is being herself. We see her like this with you all the time. What are you acting like she's not herself? Come on, Bombshot. She is being herself. I personally love it.

[Ben Maner]

I don't want to. I'm like, I. I mean, I love it.

[Co-host or Commentator]

So maybe I should marry sky because. Yeah, yeah, I love it. I'm rooting. So it's like, you know, I'm like, bombshot, I'm not trying to have words and duke it out at the table, but the. That she's. That he's even still sitting there and not with his wife is pretty insane. Like, Hel.

[Ben Maner]

It's wild.

[Co-host or Commentator]

And why is nobody saying, like, gigi, maybe don't physically assault people again. What are you doing?

[Ben Maner]

I'm working on myself.

[Co-host or Commentator]

So.

[Ben Maner]

So then people are starting to disperse and everything. And Tanina's like, I was in shock. I was in shock that she brought the discount. Like I'm doing a favor for her or anything. She says, you know how much support I've given her that this jewelry line, I promoted it everywhere. I've talked to vendors about it. The list can go on and on. I go to the beach, I tell a seagull I go to. I go to a restaurant, I tell the waiters, I tell people at different tables. I just tell every single person. And this is disrespectful.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Yeah. She's like, this. This was a slap in the face, acting like she's doing me a favor by giving me a discount on her jewelry. And by the way, this jewelry is not cheap. I mean, have you seen how much this jewelry is? It's a necklace is like $10,000.

[Ben Maner]

So, yeah, I'm not surprised.

[Co-host or Commentator]

You better give me a discount, cuz you're fucking crazy. It's like, look at this. A little cross. One of a kind. $18,000. No, ma'. Am.

[Ben Maner]

No, ma'.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Am.

[Ben Maner]

No, no, no.

[Co-host or Commentator]

She's like, yeah, this is when I stop drinking because I'm getting really mad. And Tani, like, her face never moves and she never shows any emotion at all. She really is just like a block of ice. So I love when she's like. And I'm furious. And this is when I stop drinking.

[Ben Maner]

Her version of screaming is moving her chin towards her shoulder. Oh. And so sky is packing and Reza comes in.

[Reza Jackson]

He's like, hey, girl, you should come back out and talk to your friend.

[Ben Maner]

And she's like, please get out of my face.

[Reza Jackson]

What?

[Momentus Sponsor]

What?

[Reza Jackson]

No, you need to get out of my face, please. Even though you're not in my face, like, somehow I'm not in your face, but you're somehow in my face, so get out of my face. Oh, my God, no, not even in your face.

[Co-host or Commentator]

And she's like, please, just. Okay, please.

[Gigi]

And he's like, girl, you need to.

[Reza Jackson]

Get a grip because you are the rudest person I've ever met.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Reza, have you not screamed at a woman enough tonight? Like, what the fuck is wrong with you? You started this whole fight and now she's removed herself from the situation and you're going to attack her again and now scream through the house again. Fuck off, dude. Jeez.

[Ben Maner]

Yeah, you need to check.

[Reza Jackson]

Fucking check your fucking self is what you need to do. Because you're obnoxious, stuck up, and bougie for no fudgeing reason. You were a waitress at Shamshiri. Remember that? You were a waitress.

[Ben Maner]

I'm like, people are allowed to ascend in life, Reza. People are allowed to have start with humble beginnings.

[Reza Jackson]

No, you waitress.

[Ben Maner]

Gross.

[Co-host or Commentator]

He's so gross. I mean, listen, sky is an asshole. I'm not going to say that. Sky is not an asshole, but this guy, like, following her inside to scream at her again and then be like, you're like, waitress. Shame her off. Terrible kitchen. Go fix your kitchen before you judge anybody, you weirdo. You shampoo loser.

[Ben Maner]

He's somehow gonna accuse her of being bougie, like stuck up, while also simultaneously shaming her for being a waitress at one point in her life. Like, I know what he's saying. Like, you forgot your roots. But you by you just saying, like, don't forget you were a waitress is implying that you are actually the stuck up person here as well. So.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Bob, get out of here, you failed shampoo bitch.

[Ben Maner]

Yeah, this is an uncomfortable situation. We all love each other. We're obviously on a trip together. And isn't it crazy that Dennis came to the house earlier? Oh, I'm so mad and violent right now, Gigi.

[Co-host or Commentator]

It's an uncomfortable situation because you just fucking got in someone's face and tried to physically assault them again. Gigi. And Rez is like, okay, everybody, I.

[Reza Jackson]

Told her to come check on her Best friend. And she told me to get the. Out of her face.

[Co-host or Commentator]

She didn't say. She just said out of her face. And he's like, yeah, you should go.

[Reza Jackson]

Check on her, Bombshot, because she's leaving, so good luck with that.

[Co-host or Commentator]

So now Sky's just sitting out on that swing thing in the driveway, which is weird. Anyway. Hey, you want to go swing in the driveway?

[Ben Maner]

I know.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Uber. So she's sitting there, and Bombshot finally gets up and goes out there. And Gigi's like, wait a minute.

[Gigi]

She told you. Shut the up.

[Reza Jackson]

He's like, yeah. She said, get the out of my face.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Wow.

[Ben Maner]

Oh, my God. Reza, are you okay? So now Bombshell comes up, and he's like, what are you doing? She goes, oh, you know, I'm going home. Those people are pieces of. And they're out of my life. He's like, so you're going back now? Yeah, I called an Uber. He's like, so basically, I called an Air Warner.

[Co-host or Commentator]

It's like an Uber, but it's nicer. It's a big stock of organic celery that's going to take me home.

[Ben Maner]

You're going to do nothing about dollars per mile? I'm not snobby. I did not come from a crazy, wealthy family. I just had to work hard, and I did. And so she's like, you can come in the morning. So he's like, no, I'll come with you. I'll. They told me that the right thing that I'm supposed to do is be by your side, so I think this is the right thing, so I will do it. So I said, well, I don't think I'm better than anybody, but I have a boundary, and I have respect for myself, especially if somebody attacked me. I don't put up with this.

[Co-host or Commentator]

And so Bombshad goes in, and he sees MJ and tells her they're going back. And she. He's like, I'm not letting my wife go home alone. I would never do that. And she's mj, who's there because her husband refuses to be with her on the vacation. It's like, yeah, I mean, I get it, obviously, so.

[Ben Maner]

Oh, God. Yeah, I was gonna say, now Rez is gonna do that thing, because now that sky is the villain, he's gonna do the thing where he's gonna be. Make nice with everyone so they can all be on the side. So he does the thing where he puts his hands out like he's massaging the table, and he's like, I want.

[Reza Jackson]

To apologize I want to give here.

[Ben Maner]

Everyone a sincere apology to Greg and Tanin.

[Reza Jackson]

I'm very sorry if I created any problems. But the way that she talks and the way she makes me feel about where I live and what I do and where I go to restaurants, I was up to here because I still haven't seen Baby Shams. And she's gonna yell at me that way up to here. So mad.

[Co-host or Commentator]

God, I love all these people acting like no one in LA talks shit about the Valley. That's what you do in la. Okay? I live in the Valley. People tell me they hate the Valley all the time. Where do you live? The Valley. Ew. Why would you live there? You just take it, okay? You take it and you enjoy the larger parking spaces, and you look down on the people who have the nerve to talk about it the way that.

[Reza Jackson]

She would talk about the Panera Bread that I go to on Ventura. Ventura and Laurel Canyon. That is like my heart, and she is killing my heart.

[Co-host or Commentator]

So Bombshad comes out and he's packed and back at the table. Tanin is like, well, usually I would back my friend, but I can't when she says dumb shit like that. I'm so furious right now. Can you see it? The steam is coming off of me. And Reza Jackson, RJ is like, guys, listen, at the end of the day, you get Boy for Buckboy, okay? And she's our friend. We need to figure out a solution.

[Ben Maner]

I'm just like, it's just that we're holding people accountable, you know? And so Gigi goes, I miss Dennis. And everyone laughs. It's like if this were a sitcom, it freeze and we'd see the credits roll. So Reza Jack is like, boy, did get real. I've never had a first date like this with a bunch of Persians fighting at the dinner table. And then they show flashback to, like, three episodes ago where the same thing happened with a different date. There are people arguing at the table.

[Co-host or Commentator]

It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Grappens commercial.

[Momentus Sponsor]

By this point in the year, routines are real, not aspirational. And when it comes to supplements, you're taking every day, trust really matters. But choosing the right supplements can be confusing, especially in a low regulation space, which means a lot of products cut corners, skip testing, or don't fully disclose what's inside. That's exactly why I choose Momentus. They've become the high trust brand in a low trust category. They weren't satisfied with the industry standard, so they built the Momentus standard.

That's livemomentous.com promo code Acast.

[Co-host or Commentator]

So now it's time for RJ to hook up with the thirsty waitress. So he does. He hooks up with this Courtney girl. Man, I'm telling you. What is Palm Springs? When. When you live in Palm Springs and you're there just all the time, that really just dries you out. I mean, this poor girl, she just. I just wish I was there so I could just pour lotion. Pour lotion on her and her hair.

[Ben Maner]

And just pour some lotion on me.

[Co-host or Commentator]

So we hear them behind the closed door, and then Adam and Gigi have to go spy. And Greg and Tanim now are completely bonded because they now have a common enemy. This has fixed their marriage. Greg stood up for the Valley and kind of his wife. Mostly the Valley, though. And so now Tanin's like, wow, I felt so supported by Greg. He, like, had my back. Like, God, I just feel like the Valley right now. He loves me so much.

[Ben Maner]

So Adam's like, oh, my God, Gigi, let's listen to the door. I think they're having sex. Whoa. She's like, I can't even hear because I've got my bad hearing. Because. Because you're. Because you're a deaf ass. Oh, my God. I can't believe I said that. Oh, my God. Let's go outside. Let's look. Try to look through the window. This is crazy. Gigi. Ow. Sorry, Adam. I didn't mean to step on your foot. My foot is broken.

[Co-host or Commentator]

I can't believe I said something like that on my birthday.

[Gigi]

Check. You're lucky that I didn't hear you call me a deaf.

[Ben Maner]

They're watching. And I thought this would be a whole thing of, like, everyone piling in, but actually they're all too exhausted, it seems like, to. To even watch. So it's just Adam and Gigi, and they're laughing. So now it's the Next morning, and Courtney is still there, and she's, like, having coffee with everyone. So it turns out it's not that she's dried out. She just might be thirsty because she is still hanging around to be on this TV show.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Yeah. So now Greg and Tanya are talking, and he's like, how do you feel about that whole situation with last night? She's like, well, I had a nightmare about it, actually. I mean, I don't. Did it happen? Was it real? Am I alive? Am I in a coma? Could you take my pulse?

[Ben Maner]

Well, their room is empty. They left. And now we go to sky and Bombshell's house, and sky is making breakfast. It's very serious over there. And then sky gets a text from Reza Jax that's like, hey, I hope you guys are okay. Last night was rough, and I'm here if you need someone. Can you also do me a favor? Could you give me a call and say there's an emergency back in LA so I can get away from this crazy girl who won't leave the house? Thank you so much.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Yeah. So Bombshot and Sky are talking at their house, and she's just has her disappointment face on. Or her face. It's just her face. And Bombshell's like, well, you know, you're not doing good. I don't blame you. She's like, well, I felt like I was in the cage with a bunch of hyena. I had no choice but to walk away. And you still stayed. That was very interesting.

[Ben Maner]

It's like, yeah, okay. I was hoping for more of a response than that, but.

[Co-host or Commentator]

So I'm still chewing on it. I'm still chewing on it like it is a stick from a Whole Foods. Very chewy. Very true.

[Ben Maner]

So what was the conversation when I left? He's like, tanin was talking about your jewelry in the discount. Oh. Her husband brought it up, and he says that I don't support her skin care, which is only one oil. And apparently she went and talked to Reza about what happened here in my house. And she goes and she goes and she hang out with these people and she talks shit about me. And there's no way for me to go back and erase this. Not at all that she would mention that I put oil on our dog. This is the worst thing. I love how she turns this guy.

[Co-host or Commentator]

I know. But I love how sky turns us over the course of the episode. How dare she to not know how I feel about my dog. My dog is my children. Yes, yes. Turn it, turn it. So she says she's been best friends with tanning ever since they met. But you have to be loyal, or you're out of her life. And that's it. So Skye's like. I mean, Reza, Jax, he reached out. This was good. I don't know. It's kind of fun. Probably Cricket, but I'll take it. It was nice. He tried. And she's like. And it's interesting. And do you know who texted me also? Goldnessa. And so we see these texts from Gigi's. Oh, my God. Just multiple texts. Like, pages of text from like, I.

[Gigi]

Want to apologize to you for the way that I yelled at, but this doesn't take away from my feelings and how I felt in that moment. And I have dildos, and people stick their. People stick my face up. They're assholes. And I need you to realize that is a huge responsibility. And for you to treat me just.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Goes on and on. Fucking Gigi. Taking zero accountability for anything.

[Ben Maner]

I don't know where you and Bombshot went, but I genuinely hope you guys are good and safe. And the fact that you didn't tell us makes me so mad. I just want to grab my knives and act out because I'm dangerous. Dress. So then we go back to sky and Bombshell, and Scott's like, she apologized that she didn't keep her cool, you know? And we cut back to Palm Springs, and Adam's like, so, Courtney, did you get along with rng? What are your thoughts? Did you guys have sex? I was listening at the door with that deaf ass. Oh, my God. Did I say it again? This is crazy.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Don't say it in front of dab step ass. And Courtney's like, yeah, I mean, we. We connected. Like, really? I love the eyes that he has. Like, he has sex eyes, and he has a beard too. It's like, wow, you're basically gonna get married. What do they keep talking about? Like, I think he's a very handsome guy. Rj, by the way, just want to say that I think he's very cute, but he has crazy eyes. He has crazy eyes. I don't know why. They're like, oh, my God, his eyes. His eyes are crazy. His eyes are saying run.

[Ben Maner]

Yeah. And he, like, he's so used to, like, all of his patented body language moves that he just does them all the time now. He's constantly leaning over at a table, like, he's gonna hit the candle. At some point, his beard's gonna catch on fire because, like, that's his thing. He's like, what do you wanna order? It's like, okay, could you, like, just stay in your seat, please? Thank you. So.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Well, he really does have good eyes. Oh, my God. I noticed on my birthday, Gigi's like.

[Gigi]

Speaking of the devil, here he is right now. Oh, my God. We're talking about you and how Courtney needs to move to LA to be with you.

[Ben Maner]

He's like, courtney's a sweet girl, and we had a really fun time, and, like, it kind of, you know, she's a strong, powerful girl, and I don't think she'll take it personally that. Never gonna see her again.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Yeah, it's like, let's slow down here, guys.

[Ben Maner]

Okay.

[Co-host or Commentator]

And the producer asked Gigi what she thinks Reza J. Wants in his life as he gets older.

[Gigi]

She's like, rj, pussy. What else?

[Ben Maner]

Oh, my God, here comes Tan. Tan. She's woken up, and I gotta make an initial observation. I don't see any Sky Askari or jewelry on you right now. And she's like, no, I mean, I don't know what you're talking about. Sorry for screaming so much. So she's like, this is all Kate.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Spade, which I also got at a discount, so sue me.

[Ben Maner]

I'm just very disappointed. The shock factor was bigger than the disappointment. You know, I think with sky and I, we just. We just kind of instantly clicked, and it was a very quick friendship. And the beauty of our friendship is that we're so different. And she basically says that they had. Last time they had a huge argument, they didn't talk, and that sky, like, wouldn't meet halfway, and that was. It was Tanin who had to go and really, like, make the effort to have to. To create the truce. And she just doesn't really feel like doing it again.

[Co-host or Commentator]

I think sky kind of blew this argument with Tani because I think sky had the moral high ground in this one. She could have just said, oh, wow, now you're talking shit about me to Reza. Because Reza started this whole thing by.

[Reza Jackson]

Being like, you want to talk about your oil? Where did you put her oil?

[Co-host or Commentator]

You. He's totally starting a fight on purpose. And they both fell for it. And I think Tiny. I think sky should have just said, you know what? I don't appreciate that. You talking behind my back is, like, stabbing me in the back. And that's not cool. I thought we were friends. And then she would have looked like the victim instead of being like, oh, really? You get the discount on my things. Which could have won this one, because then Tannen would have had to call You. And she would have had to apologize, but now she doesn't because you acted like the bigger asshole.

[Ben Maner]

That's exactly right.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Come on, Sky. I want to root for you.

[Ben Maner]

So Bombshot is talking about how he froze, and she's like, you do freeze a lot of time in our life. And that really affected me. Years and years. Every time I need you most frozen, he's like, I know. You know, for my wife, I will do whatever I can to help her, which is nothing. I will do nothing to help her. But, you know, it's fun. Maybe I'll hire a bartender. Just kidding. Won't do that. But she holds grudges, and of course, it's hard to be with someone who holds grudges. And you keep telling yourself that maybe they'll change one day, but then they come to realization that they hold grudges. I'm like, yeah, maybe she holds grudges, but, like, you're giving her the grudge, right? Like, you're totally not present for her, of course. Like, if you're not present for her time after time again. And she's like, you weren't there for me this time, and this time, and this time, I'm getting sick of it. That's not really grudge holding. That's kind of like I'm noticing a pattern of behavior. Bombshell.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Yeah. And I will also add that sky does not seem to be easy at all, because when she said, yes, you are always freezing, I thought, you know who else is constantly freezing? Terrified animals.

[Ben Maner]

Yes. To survive.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Exactly.

[Ben Maner]

Flight or freeze. Yes. Yeah. And I think there might be a.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Little bit of that, too.

[Ben Maner]

I love sky in the show. I think she's great. I think in real life, she'd be a monster.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Yes.

[Ben Maner]

I can just imagine going to a restaurant with her, and she makes us change the seats. She makes us change the table. She sends food back. She complains like, I. Like. Like, I never want to be around her. But on the show. Yeah.

[Co-host or Commentator]

And I think part of Bombshad's whole thing, you know, to us, like, watching it, I'm like, how could you not stand up for your wife and follow her out and stuff like that. And I think he's just so used to her being like this that he's like, well, I mean, if she's going to be like this, she's going to get called out. Like, what am I going to do? Like, I'm not going to tell her, you can't talk this way. But I can't control other people getting offended when she's talking to them that way. So I guess I could kind of see that side of it if I really try. But at the same time, you're married to the difficult person. So if you're going to make the choice to be married to a difficult person, then you still got to be a good husband and be like, listen, you know, you have, you. You guys watch how you talk to my wife. And then in private, be like, you know, babe, you kind of bring some of this stuff up on your. On yourself. Yeah, but he doesn't, you know, he's never really honest with her. Like, he doesn't tell her any of this stuff. I mean, if you were with somebody like that, wouldn't you be like, babe, don't you think it's weird that everyone we have. Everyone in the group thinks it's you and every time we have a friendship, you end up. It ends up ruined, and you're the one involved in that? Like, come on, like, yeah, let's talk about this.

[Ben Maner]

Yeah, connect the dots. So now we're gonna see some wacky things that are happening around the Valley attending and Greg's house. Her mom, who is so sweet, comes over with the food. I love this lady. I love that she brings some food every day. And she comes in and she looks like, so happy. She's like, I made you this. And then we go to Reza Jackson's house. It looks like he's made some sort of like, spaghetti version of todig. And he tries to, like, he flips it out and it's kind of half, half successful. And then we go to Woodland Hills and we see that Gigi is looking at a house that she will definitely not be able to afford. And her, her realtor, Camille, does that obnoxious thing where they walk in and she goes, welcome home. Like, Camille, you know Gigi can't afford this.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Yeah, sorry.

[Ben Maner]

I'm just practicing for someone who actually has money. Okay, can I try that again? Gigi, from the top. Welcome home. Was that convincing? Gigi?

[Co-host or Commentator]

This is a 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom, 4726 square foot home for one woman and her child.

[Momentus Sponsor]

Come on.

[Ben Maner]

And all the nothing she does, who.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Has no job and no prospects. Give me no brains.

[Ben Maner]

Stop it.

[Momentus Sponsor]

Stop it.

[Co-host or Commentator]

She's like.

[Gigi]

Now the real painful question comes how much?

[Co-host or Commentator]

She's like, well, for purchase it's 2.5 million. And then for lease it's around 14,000.

[Gigi]

She's like, oh, my God, 14,000. That's definitely above where I need to be.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Okay, well, how much do you Have.

[Gigi]

A couple of dusty dildos still in their box. They're still in their box.

[Co-host or Commentator]

That's pretty much it.

[Ben Maner]

You can talk to Dennis. I'm so mad at him. I was actually surprised. This house was only 2.5 million. I know. Only I thought that was a good.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Deal, actually, for that big of a house with a pool.

[Ben Maner]

It must be haunted or very far away. Or both.

[Co-host or Commentator]

It's like Woodland Hills. Yeah. Hills is pretty big, right?

[Ben Maner]

It's big. It's. That's a little far from, like, the main part of la. It's like you're in Woodland Hills. You're sort of just like in Woodland Hills at that point. You're, like, really, truly in the suburbs at that point.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Isn't that too. Well, I'm gonna.

[Ben Maner]

It's by Calabas. But Calabasas is off of Bum. It's off out there.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Woodland Hills. I went there one time. I think I went to Woodland Hill. Is that by Agora? I have to look at it. Woodland.

[Ben Maner]

But they have. They have. It's on the way to Agora for sure. They've got that nice month, like the Warner Center. They've got. I went to a volcano there once. I went to the volcano of Woodland Hills.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Yeah, it's by Calabasas. Yeah. I knew. I went out there once. I went out there to look at used pianos. And they have just miles of gigantic stores, like furniture stores. I kind of wanted to stay out there, but I was too lazy.

[Ben Maner]

But here's the thing about Woodland Hills. Here's the thing about Woodland Hills. That people don't live in this area, don't realize, is that a lot of people are drawn to the siren song of Woodland Hills. There's a mall. There's piano stores. Actually, the one thing that there really is not a lot of is Woodlands, but everyone's like, oh, my God. Like, it's the big houses and stuff. But then the people who wind up in Woodland Hills, this is what it's like talking to them. Hey, so do you want to go out? I've got to go all the way back to Woodland Hills, so I've got to. I'm going to go home now, actually.

[Co-host or Commentator]

No, this is what it's like. This is what it's like talking to them. Hey, how you doing? You want to go to dinner tonight? I'm sorry, I can't hear you. Hold on. I'm just walking around trying to get some. Some cert. Can. Can. Can you hear me? Do they not have cell towers in Woodland Hills?

[Ben Maner]

I was thinking we could see this movie. It's playing at 8:15. Oh, yeah, it's just. It's a little late because I got to get back to Woodland Hills. Sorry. It's. People who live in Woodland Hills are constantly in the process of having to get back to Woodland Hills and it takes forever to get through.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Like, that's true. But to be fair, we are people who live in Los Angeles and we're literally like that everywhere. I mean, we went to dinner in West Hollywood last week and it was like, oh, that's.

[Ben Maner]

I know.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Like, that's so far. I was like, I have to come over the hill. And you're like, I have to come from Hollywood. We were acting like it was a 10 hour ordeal. It was 20 minutes.

[Ben Maner]

It was. It took me 45 minutes to drive down Melrose Avenue. I was going nuts. Well, that's true.

[Co-host or Commentator]

It's also the time because it was at like 5.

[Ben Maner]

But I just feel like Woodland Hills, like once you go to Woodland Hills, that you're. You're not seeing your friend anymore. So once Gigi commits to Woodland Hills, she's out there, you know.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Well, it keeps the rest of, keeps the rest of us safe. So good for her. Go, go. I say. So she's like, wow.

[Gigi]

Well, this is perfect for me because we're by schools and we're near friends. I mean, MJ lives a few streets away and Dennis is literally not even a mile away from here. And, you know, I'd love to see Dennis. I just love that guy.

[Co-host or Commentator]

She doesn't remember her own plot line. So she says, in order to get.

[Gigi]

This house I really, really want, I really need Dennis's help. So, I mean, Palm Springs was a mess, but aside from that, I'm in business with him and we need to move forward intimately. Gigi was so successful.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Was it? Then why do you have entire warehouses full of boxed Build those. Why?

[Ben Maner]

I don't think people wanted to get that intimate with you. Gigi.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Nobody thinks of Gigi and is like, well, can't wait to myself thinking of Gigi.

[Ben Maner]

Gigi.

[Ben Maner]

So now we go to the agency and MJ goes into a meeting with Mauricio, the man who is getting around Bravo shows more than he is the ladies in Aspen.

[Co-host or Commentator]

And he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on. I'm mixing right now. Hold on, hold on. Oh, yeah. Stevie Nicks with the little Willie Nelson. Yeah. The audience goes crazy. Oh, sorry, mj, Come on in. I'm a DJ now.

[Ben Maner]

You ever hear this band called Lifehouse? Wow, they're so good. So he's like, so, how's life? How's motherhood?

[Co-host or Commentator]

You.

[Ben Maner]

I'm pretty sure you're famous because cameras came in, but I'm really not sure who you actually are. She's like, it's good. You know, my kids, in kindergarten, I was. I went viral for an outfit because I was on the Traders, the trailers.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Yeah. One question for you. Are you wearing the thong business suit? Yes. Okay, good, good. I like to see it, I like to see it.

[Ben Maner]

Well, being a mother is the hardest thing on the planet. Right? You know, yada, yada, yada. Mom, mom, mom. Empathy, okay? But by the same, you have to miss a pickup once in a while. What I'm trying to say is it's nice that you have a kid, but have you ever thought about not caring about your kid so you can sell a house?

[Co-host or Commentator]

And she's like, yeah. You know, I knew when Shams was born, I would be a stay at home mom until he started kindergarten. But, you know, now it's time to level up my business.

[Ben Maner]

So.

[Co-host or Commentator]

I mean, I love working for Mauricio. It's. Hold on, I can't really hear you right now.

[Reza Jackson]

Could you just.

[Co-host or Commentator]

We're trying to film right now.

[Ben Maner]

He's like, oh, sorry, sorry.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Bieber just came out with a new one. All the kids are going crazy.

[Ben Maner]

Yeah, it's like, really? It's, like, so good. So, okay, have you thought about. Here's. Here's my advice to people who are trying to make it big in real estate. Puka shells. You ever thought about wearing them?

[Co-host or Commentator]

Listen, you need to get some clients. I suggest going to a hat store. Just go to a hat store and wait for people to pass by.

[Ben Maner]

How much money do you want to make next year? How about a cool million? How about $999,000? Mine. And. And $90. What I'm trying to say is just subtract $10 for the cool set of bracelets you'll be getting from H M. Okay.

[Co-host or Commentator]

What do you need to do to get to a million dollars? And she's like, knock on some doors. He's like, door knocking. That's not gonna get you to a million.

[Reza Jackson]

Okay.

[Co-host or Commentator]

She's like, okay, could you just maybe tell me. Tell me what to do. He's like, okay, you've got a social media following, right? So maybe just grow that. You know, it's like, the easiest thing in the world. Pour a little water on it. It grows. So then you use that, you know?

[Ben Maner]

So here's some crazy ideas. Learn about your neighborhood. Learn about. Have open houses. Try to understand what the house is. Learn about real estate, and just walk around and tell people about that. I don't know, kind of crazy, outside the box things, you know?

[Co-host or Commentator]

Let me tell you what no successful real estate person does. They don't take clients into homes and say, you can't afford this. Don't buy this.

[Reza Jackson]

Wait a minute.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Sorry, but I've been watching the show.

[Ben Maner]

Hey, you know what? I have some sort of stakes in this thing, right? Because you're kind of famous, and I'm kind of famous. So let's do this. Be kind of famous together. So have an open house. Invite me. I'll come invite some hot girls, set up some turntables. I'll co. I'll show up there. Maybe I'll wear an earring, and I don't know, we'll see what happens, you know? And I'll give you a proper assessment.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Do it at Twilight. Chicks love Twilight.

[Ben Maner]

Yeah, I just did this cool remix of Christina Perry singing that Twilight song. So good.

[Co-host or Commentator]

So she's like, this is so important to me. I really need Mauricio's praise. I'm gonna be like a powerhouse, like a baddie. Okay, so now we go to Taisho restaurant. Tanin and Greg are having date night, which I know I'm thrilled about. So they get some Oysters. Tanin's very busy. And he's like, yeah, I think our communication has got significantly better, you know, listening, getting things done that you asked me for the first time understanding your point. Yelling at people at dinner that hate you. She's like, yes. Well, that part. Yeah, that part's been good.

[Ben Maner]

Yeah. Yeah. We communicate so much better now for the moment. So she's gonna do a girl's night, and she's gonna invite Adam to it. She's gonna make Persian food. And then Greg is like, should I invite Bombshot? She's like, yeah, of course. I mean, you guys don't have a problem. That's fine. If you guys do a boys night, invite Bombshot. I really don't care. But he's like, but what about Sky? She's like, well, whatever her, I'm not inviting her. She's like, I know sky can be stubborn, and I think at this point, I'm just gonna take it day by day, give her some time. I mean, she's my friend, after all. I consider my sister. And she really does know everyone at that erewhon. This feud goes on much longer. They're not gonna let me in there. That's a problem. I really like the salad bar.

[Co-host or Commentator]

So at another restaurant called the Six, Reza J. Is meeting up with Skye for lunch. And he's worried about this because he's just. That guy wants to make everything okay. Like, let's get the friends together. No one's talking to Sky. I'll talk to Sky. Yeah, I'm gonna talk to sky and see how she feels. So he's just kind of doing the producer job of being a mediator of people that he's known for about a week. So he goes to meet up with her, and she's like, oh, hello, nice restaurant. I'm waiting for someone to come up and ask me for change. Is this normal?

[Ben Maner]

It is good. I can see how the other side lives. Oh, and I don't like the other side. So. Okay, we go.

[Co-host or Commentator]

So they make you food standing under a freeway overpass. Very nice.

[Reza Jackson]

D6.

[Ben Maner]

That's. I like that. This restaurant is called D6 because that is the exact rating I would give it.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Out to. 20 so far.

[Ben Maner]

Thousand.

[Co-host or Commentator]

He's like, okay, you know, reason I wanted to chill and have this dinner, you know, is because I think you're an incredible person. And you know Greg. Like Greg. So I'm getting closer to Tani as well. And she's like, I mean, my husband is best friends with Greg. It's like, Being best friends with Frogger. You play this game?

[Ben Maner]

No, I'm splat unless I can it.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Oh, spoiler alert.

[Ben Maner]

Okay. Okay. Well, I. You know, I think it'd be a huge shame for you to cut things off over things that are fixable. You know what? Maybe I would have been different if she had reached out, you know? And I feel like I'm right when the problem started with you, and so I don't initiate. I don't need to initiate. So, unfortunately, every time any conflict happened between us, it's because of her behavior, and it was because of what she did, and I didn't like it. So it's pretty obvious. I mean, she came to my house, she brought her oil, and then, you know, when you put oil on your hands, you know, it's like, it's oily, right? Because you have oil hands. So I did what anyone would do. I wiped it onto my dogs because you know what? I have to rub it somewhere. And my dogs are like, my children. And everyone knows when you have oily hands, wipe it on children. That's what you do.

[Co-host or Commentator]

So now she's upset with me for moisturizing my child. Do you know how this feels to me? She's taken. What, should I let my child be dry like this waitress in Palm Spring? No, I moisturize my child because I love my child. You understand? Yes. And he's like, oh, God. He's like, wow, she's really worked this story out. He's like, okay, well, can you maybe at least see how, you know, maybe putting it on your dog could be perceived as something negative. She goes, no, because she knows I gave birth to these dogs.

[Ben Maner]

She knows. She's like, it was the greatest compliment I could have given her wretched oil that I wanted off my hands. Like, I. I supported her oil so much, I couldn't wait to get it off my hands. I didn't even want it to absorb any further. So I put it on the furriest thing I could find. That was not furniture. That's how much I love her product.

[Co-host or Commentator]

She's ridiculous. All she had to say when Tana. When he was like, what about the oils?

[Reza Jackson]

You put it on your dog?

[Co-host or Commentator]

She said, I was. I put it on my hand. It felt great. But I had extra oil on my hand, on my fingers, so I put it on the dog. I wasn't trying to be offensive, but instead it turns into this whole thing. They're like, my children. How could you come for me and my children? And so he's like, okay, but there's like a five year history there. And, you know, my job's just to get to, you know, make you think differently about the situation than you thought before.

[Ben Maner]

So also, you haven't touched any of the food here. Are you gonna even have one bite? And she looks and she goes, enjoy, have it. You can have my portion. It's like the opposite of my dog. Disgusting non child.

[Co-host or Commentator]

So now we go to Natasha and Amir and they put their kids to bed. And now it's time to have the discussion.

[Ben Maner]

Oh, my God. This scene was. I actually was like crying in the scene. It was so like, I really like this guy. I like them both, but I really like Amir. And basically they are like circling back about having the medium and they. They have to have discussed, like, are you still in love with your. With your. Your wife who passed? And, you know, he. He just starts to cry, but he's like. Cries in that way that's like. It was like, that's how I cry when I get like a dirty cry. I'm like, he was like that. And it was just so. It was so sweet. It was like a real emotional moment, you know, having to navigate this peculiar, peculiar situation that they're in that actually a lot of people want to find themselves in. And I was. I was like. I was like, why is the per. Why is the Valley person style making me cry right now?

[Co-host or Commentator]

So they're talking about how this brought up a lot of emotions, you know, the psychic and stuff. And she's saying, you know, I know that your wife was a big part of your life, and I'm never trying to take that away from you. But Reza was telling me, Reza asked me if I think that you're still in love with her, which is so Reza, you know, and she's like, well, I don't want to think about it, but, you know, I mean, how could you not be? It's not like she did anything wrong. And he says, well, I'm in love with you, and I want to make sure that you don't feel that way every year. You know, do you want to come with me? Like, you can come with me to visit her. And she's like, okay, okay, I'll come with you.

[Ben Maner]

And he starts to cry because he doesn't. He feels so bad that Natasha goes through this emotional strife every year. So he starts to cry because he's like, I don't want anything to happen to you. Because obviously he has gone through the trauma of having to see someone he loves, deal with hardship and so he just starts to sob. And I was like, oh, my God. It was. I was like, I love this guy. It was just so sweet. He says how it's anxiety and he doesn't want to. Like, he doesn't want to put this on her, but he loves her so much. And he's like, I can't live without you. And then they resolved that, like, this year, she's gonna come with him to the grave site. And I was like. I was like, wiping my tears on a dog.

[Co-host or Commentator]

How dare you. So then we go to tanning and Craig. Craig Greg's house. And it's girls night, guys. She's cooking for girls night. And then Reza is. You know, we're seeing the difference in, like, what she has, which is an amazing spread. She's putting all this up for it. There's all this gorgeous food. And then we go to the bachelor's house, and it's just like some nuts in a bowl and some crackers on a little skinny plate.

[Ben Maner]

Like, sir, do you realize you were on the second iteration of Shaza Sunset? We expect this entire surface to be filled with little bowls of dates and delicious foods.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Yeah. Greg comes and he's like, we're at a fucking whorehouse. And then at the girls night, everything looks amazing. They're like, this looks great. And then Reza comes to boys night.

[Reza Jackson]

He's like, oh, my God, it smells like patussy in here.

[Ben Maner]

He's like, what's bodice? And they're like, it's a combination of.

[Reza Jackson]

Body parts, booty, dick and pussy.

[Co-host or Commentator]

It's like, oh, nice.

[Ben Maner]

Great.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Thanks. And Adam, meanwhile, goes to girls night, and he's like, wow. So what do you guys do at girls night? There's no dogs, right? Please don't let the dogs near me.

[Ben Maner]

Oh, my God. I didn't bring Tabooli. Oh, my God. I'll never be asked back. So Gigi's like, it smells like.

[Co-host or Commentator]

It smells like tabussy in here. That's Tabooli's. Did I do it right?

[Ben Maner]

Like, no. Adam, why don't you just take a seat? We'll put a napkin in your shirt, we'll feed you some food. Okay.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Ow.

[Ben Maner]

Gigi, the spoon. I didn't touch you. Sorry. I get nervous sometimes.

[Co-host or Commentator]

So they're like, yeah, we get male strippers. And then back at boys night, they're talking about Bombshot coming. And so Retha's like, I don't. Retha Jackson's like, I don't want to talk about Sky. Don't make me talk about Sky. And then we see Bombshot limping towards the house. He's like, oh, God, here we go. Another. I'm just tired. I'm really just tired. So Greg's like, well, he's going to defend his wife. You know, I don't know what he's going to say. And they're like, yeah, this is really fucked up. So he comes in, and meanwhile, back at the girl's house, they're talking about Natasha having Sky over, which we didn't see. So she's like, well, I wanted to know if she'll be okay with tanning coming to Girls night. Flashback, flashback back. I am very open to hearing her side, but trusting her. No, I will never trust her. I will never trust a woman who doesn't allow another mother to oil up her children, dog.

[Ben Maner]

So in the present, Tanina's like, well, finally we're on the same page. So that's good. I'm like, wow. No accountability. No six years of supporting her. I'm so sorry for screaming, everyone. And MJ's like, well, you're the one who should be done. Right. Right? What are the words? What are the words? Right? And so Natasha's like, well, she said. And we have a flashback. And sky goes, this woman is not safe and is dangerous. And it wasn't her first time doing this to people. I'm talking about Gigi now, everyone. And she has a history. And as a matter of fact, two months ago, she attacked someone in the parking lot. And so in the.

[Co-host or Commentator]

But by the way, she's right. And nobody stood up for sky, for Gigi coming after her physically at that. That partying, screaming and yelling and acting like a damn fool. So I think on this one, Sky's right. And Gigi's like, oh, my God.

[Gigi]

To bring up the parking lot, like, she's done. That's it. She's done. I feel it going through my veins. I'm gonna kill somebody. I mean, the particular situation this guy's choosing to bring up, I mean, that's so low. That's so nasty. It's so dirty.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Girl, you attacked. You attacked Paulina in the damn park at the Bloomies.

[Ben Maner]

But also, Gigi's whole thing is like, you don't want to see me when I get mad because I. I get violent, and I'm probably gonna punch you. I'm gonna cut a. You don't want to see me. I'm dangerous. Watch out. It's like, oh, so I heard you got into a fight. Don't talk about my fights. I was in a fight.

[Co-host or Commentator]

God. She's like.

[Gigi]

She wants to bring up, well, I can back. My shits are nice. Nice shits. I eat a lot of fiber. Violent fiber.

[Ben Maner]

So you took a shit, Gigi, don't talk about my shits.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Not right.

[Ben Maner]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Commentator]

So now bombshots over there, and they're like, okay, well, let's talk about Palm Springs. He's like, well, this guy's not here. And I would. She should be here to defend herself. Not me, but. But me, the one who promised to stand up for his wife more. But I would like to say, you know, she does not disrespect anybody because they're living in the Valley. She disrespects the Valley and the people who live in it. Does that make sense?

[Ben Maner]

The people are good. Their choice to live in the cesspool, that is the problem. But the people themselves are good. They don't know any better. They think dust and bad restaurants are good because they never were taught anything better. But I feel like, Greg, it was totally disrespectful because when you talk to my. My wife, you're talking to my family. And you're talking to my family. You're talking to me. Hold on one second. I've got the rest of the statement that also. Don't talk about the dog. They're like children to me. Oh, to Sky, I should say. Okay, sorry. She wrote that for me. It was very, very helpful for me.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Yeah, it's like, if you're talking to my family, you're talking to me. So you disrespected me. And Greg's like, well, then why didn't you say something then? Because, you know, what the hell? You should have said that. So now they're mad at Bombshell for not sticking up for his wife.

[Ben Maner]

He's like, if you said, hey, you're disrespecting my wife, I would have shut up. But I thought we were all kind of laughing. Even you, right? Wasn't it kind of funny when I was like, I'm from the Valley. I love the Valley. Don't talk about the Valley. And we all know, like, the Valley sucks, right? But I was saying it, so it's, like, kind of funny, right? But I didn't know I was disrespecting her. She's like. He's like, absolutely right. And that is the exact problem that I'm having right now at home is that she's telling me, you do not offend me.

[Reza Jackson]

You know? Okay, you know what? Can I just say something?

[Co-host or Commentator]

But there's a big moment where everybody just stares at him because you're not defending her. Even now, you're not defending. You folded in two seconds. And so everybody's just staring at him like, wow. We don't really know what to do here because we're here to yell at you, but we're also mad at you for not defending your wife, even though we ate her.

[Ben Maner]

Yeah, well, as long as it's smelling.

[Reza Jackson]

Like patusy in here, I shouldn't have. Okay.

[Ben Maner]

There were some things that I. I should not have said, but I feel.

[Reza Jackson]

Bad because of the position, that urine bombshot. And I would, like, really want to go and apologize to her. But you know what? It makes me scared to talk to her because, like, it's very scared for me because, like, do you know what it is like to have a big, scary person yell at you?

[Ben Maner]

Okay, it is like, reza, you're the one who did that to her.

[Co-host or Commentator]

No, you're the one.

[Reza Jackson]

I couldn't think straight.

[Co-host or Commentator]

You're the giant hairball who's running around screaming at women. She didn't scream at you.

[Ben Maner]

You.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Reza. And honestly, he's like, honestly, I'm just being honest, you know, I think you're gonna just have to give this time. I cannot fix it. I cannot fix it myself. So now we go. Nice job, bombshot, by the way. So now we go back to the agency, and MJ's doing a wedding shoot. And so she's got a photographer there, and she's getting ready, but while she's getting ready, she's got a T shirt with Vita's face on it that says icon.

[Ben Maner]

Yeah, it's actually a real estate shoot because it's going to go on, like, flyers or whatever that's going to, like.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Yes.

[Ben Maner]

Help move stuff. And MJ's, like, today, it's all about the agency. You know what? Because she's a real estate agent, she works hard, she's dedicated, she's a good time. That's what you're going to see when you see me in my Vita T shirt standing in front of an agency sign, you're going to say, I'm going to buy a house with that lady. So then we go to Dennis's office, and Gigi shows up with a mirror, and because they're gonna, like, look at inventory. And Gigi's brought Amir along because he's a. He's a tax lawyer, and basically, he has some sort of professionalism, and he can, like, keep an eye out in case Dennis does anything. Kind of shady.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Yeah. So they go to the dildo warehouse, which is hilarious. And they're looking at all this intimately. Gigi crap. And Amir is like, wow. Never been in a sex warehouse. I not been around dildos and vibrators.

[Ben Maner]

Wow. This is.

[Co-host or Commentator]

I mean, it's like aisles and aisles and stacks and stacks of these boxes. He's like, this is a lot of vagina to fill.

[Ben Maner]

This is. This is a lot. Okay. I didn't think I'd be pivoting out of my really emotional scene into this one so quickly, but. Okay.

[Gigi]

Okay. But we also need to talk, because I need to make a box for men's anal stuff, too. We can just repurpose some of this stuff, Just put it into a men's box. You know, a male just wants g. A gay male just wants to be with Gigi's face.

[Ben Maner]

Gigi. Ow. So we go into Dennis's office, and they are. He has a name tag. Dennis. This is Dennis Desantis, master hustler. And so Dennis.

[Co-host or Commentator]

And another sign that says, I'm kind of a big deal.

[Ben Maner]

Oh, current. Real current. So Dennis is like, okay, well, you know, I wanted to talk to you about, you know, obviously about, you know, dildos. But first, let's get past Palm Springs, which I was a little upset about, by the way, because you didn't have my back, my very hairy back. And, you know, you just sort of put me into an ambush because. Well, who ambushed you? Well, the whole table ambushed me. You know, you could have just said, you know what? You're wrong. I didn't protect you. I didn't stand up for you. It's always that. You can never be wrong, right?

[Gigi]

No, no, no, no. Your feelings about Palm Springs have no place in this conversation. We're talking about business stuff. Let's talk about getting my face into gay men's asses. That's what we're here to talk about.

[Ben Maner]

Yeah, but I'm just saying, in order to move forward with business, we need to go off to the past. I don't know. It's weird talking to you without any tiles on the. On the wall. You know, it's a strange space, but I just had to tell you that because what happened last week. So let's move forward. And I just want to tell you how I felt about the trip. And now we're gonna move forward. Okay. We're gonna move forward.

[Reza Jackson]

We're gonna move forward.

[Co-host or Commentator]

So Amir's like, okay, well, you guys want to do well, and you want her products to perform well, right?

[Gigi]

100%.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Okay. So on business, we got two options. We can do a licensing deal. You get a check every month no matter what. Or you could be an owner. You own 25% of the country, but, sorry, company country.

[Ben Maner]

Wow. Wow, that sounds amazing.

[Co-host or Commentator]

A lot of dildos. Selling a lot of dildos.

[Ben Maner]

Watch out, America. I own a quarter of you now. So Amir is like. He's like, okay, well, we'll go through these and we'll have it reviewed. And I just. Can I get out of this office? My professional reputation is plummeting as we speak. Thank you very much.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Listen, don't think about. I don't want to fight, you know, I just want to make money. I want to move forward. All right, so, like, that's right.

[Gigi]

We're in business together now. Here I come. $2.5 million house.

[Ben Maner]

Yep, I'm sure. So now they go and they start picking up a box of the anal toys and everything. And Amir's like, get me out of here.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Why haven't they talked about her weed business? Her woosa or whatever? That's weird. Yeah, what happened to that? And what happened to her hair? Didn't she have, like, a hair? A fake hair business?

[Ben Maner]

Extensions. It was great. Brand name. Yeah, extensions. Oh, I'm not sure. I. I think a great entrepreneur like Gigi surely is so occupied with that that she doesn't even have time to talk about it. But now we see Natasha and Gigi picking up kids from school, and Gigi's son starts pulling down Gigi's pants at the sidewalk. She. Stop it. And then we go to MJ and Tommy's house, and Tommy and Shams are doing a puzzle, and Tommy's like, that's.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Not how you do it.

[Momentus Sponsor]

Come on.

[Ben Maner]

And finally we arrive at Casalina Restaurant where Reza Jax is arriving. He has. He's there with the sky. And she's like, oh, finally. You pick a good restaurant this time. Okay, we're finally seeing some improvements. He's like, yeah, but it's still in the valley. She goes, no, I know. It's fine, it's fine.

[Co-host or Commentator]

You try it. You tried. So she's like, oh, we have matching cross necklaces. We need a Jesus in our life. Am I right? Look at me, me, fun loving Sky. She's like doing this squint smile thing where she's like, look, I'm complimenting the restaurants. I'm wearing a crust that says, Jesus. Look at Happy, happy, happy sky.

[Ben Maner]

Yes, I am nice, approachable person. So what's new with you? What's what's with you? Been into any and more terrible restaurants in this. In this godforsaken location? It's like, nah, just busy with work. Which is. Sorry, I forgot my air quotes because I don't know if I have a job to be here, to be fair. And she's like, okay, well, that's exciting. And, you know your boys. And I was good. You're gonna. You're gonna tell me what happened? He's like, it was good. He said, you're not gonna share what happened that boys night? He's like, nope, nope. We talked about you, but that's all you're gonna get.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Oh, shocking. It's like, okay, well, have you ever heard of Bodissi? No, please, I don't want to know. So he's like, okay, well, I did see some accountability on Reza's part. I mean, he did come in and. And he said, you know, I mean, he had points about what bothered him, and he admits that he. He did this wrong. Are you going to be more specific or. No, he just said some things he may have done wrong. And so she says, yeah, Reza starts the fire, and if it happened once, it's gonna happen again. And she's right. Reza will never stop. He's going to scream in your face 20 more times this season.

[Ben Maner]

So then the waiter comes by and he's like, so are we still waiting for one more person? And this guy's like, what? And then we see Tanin driving, and she's.

[Co-host or Commentator]

I'm sorry. Or did somebody invite Taste to come to the Valley? Because that would be nice.

[Ben Maner]

We will welcome them here. And so she knows what's going on. She's like, you. And then Tanina's like, oh, well, this is a surprise. So both women are really mad, and Reza's like, sorry. And they stare at each other, and it's a showdown for the ages.

[Co-host or Commentator]

Yeah. So we'll see.

[Reza Jackson]

Will they forgive each other more? Don't know.

[Ben Maner]

The fate of the valley rests on this summit. Well, we'll have to wait till next week to find out what goes on with that. But in the meantime, thanks, everyone for being here. Gosh, y' all are great. Have a wonderful weekend. And we'll be back with a full slate of shows next week. Week. Bye, everyone.
