Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

Tone & Style

Ben and Ronnie keep things irreverent, deeply Bravo-versed, and unflinchingly snarky. Every tension or misstep is analyzed, mocked, and related back to the traditions of reality TV messiness—a true celebration of “crappens.” Every episode is peppered with pop-culture nods, Persian jokes, and wild analogies, delivering expert-level entertainment for Bravo superfans and those who “mock because they love.”

---

Final Takeaways

• No friendships were actually mended: The Sky vs. Tanin feud remains, as does MJ and Tommy’s marriage tension.
• Reza continues to stir trouble (and diamonds)—while also attempting tiny olive branches.
• MJ is the group’s ‘one house Wanda,’ desperately trying to salvage her brand through real estate and televised drama.
• Family and loyalty are just as messy and transactional as business deals.
• The hosts’ commentary adds: Humorous perspective, meta analysis of Bravo editing, and an affectionate but brutal takedown of these legendary personalities.

Perfect for listeners who love Bravo drama, biting recaps, and the art of the reality TV roast.

[Brandi Glanville]

Who cares what happens when there's so much what happens. When there's so much that crappens?

[Ben]

And now today, the TWS.

[Ronnie]

I mean, the Valley. Well, it could be the traders. They all backstab each other on the show all the time, but it's the valley.

[Reza]

Persian style traders.

[MJ]

Persian style.

[Brandi Glanville]

Well, we left off Persian traders believe.

[Reza]

In feeding each other. Be like, you're not faithful.

[Brandi Glanville]

So we were at this restaurant where Rezajax has arranged slash ambushed sky and Tanin so that way they can have some sort of resolution. And Tanin's like, wait, what is happening? I'm like, really confused. He's like, oh, it's exactly what it looks like. It's happening, it's happening. But I think for the sake of the friendship, let's just like be in a setting where it's calm and we can have a conversation. Which I think is so adorable when people say that to reality stars in restaurants. As if like restaurants have not been the arenas for so many flip outs and flip tables.

[Ronnie]

God, especially for sky today. Geez, she's real. She does not give a if she's in a restaurant. That's for sure. And Tanin's like, this is unpleasant. I did not expect to be set up. Like, your ego won't even allow you to call me. So now I have to go to lunch and pretend to eat around you. Retsa's like, okay, well, I'm just gonna be over there, but I am gonna do something tricky and take your purses because women can't live without purses. Am I right?

[Brandi Glanville]

It's kind of a good move, to be honest, because people love storming out. So he's like, you take their purses away because they can't leave. Genius. So now the woman he leaves, which I think is crazy because I thought they were going to have some sort of, like, referee, but, yeah, you should.

[Ronnie]

Sit there and help them work it out. What the heck?

[Brandi Glanville]

Yeah, work it out, man. So Tanin's like, well, I guess the floor is yours. I mean, you're the one who experienced a lot of things. And you were there. You saw what happened. That night was too much and heavy, and I want you to have my back. And you didn't.

[Ronnie]

Okay, yes. And this is where I was very pissed off and disappointed, Especially your husband. He started attack. She's like, first and foremost, Reza started the conversation, not Greg. And she's like, no, it was Greg. No, it was Reza. And then we see the night at dinner. Of course it was Reza. It's always Reza. This is not a mystery to be solved on this show if shit has been started. It was Reza.

[MJ]

Okay?

[Ronnie]

And so we see a clip where.

[Reza]

Reza's like, oh, we're going to look at a million dollar house so you can ease up on the shopping. Okay, lady. It's like you GRE up with a silver spoon in your mouth and a trust fund or something. You're a waiter from Shabashuki.

[MJ]

Be like, I'm rich and I'm better than everyone else.

[Brandi Glanville]

So then Tan's like, you were ambushed. And I feel so bad for that. She's like, oh, you do?

[MJ]

You feel bad for me?

[Tommy]

You do, really?

[MJ]

This is my sarcastic voice?

[Brandi Glanville]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

Sky is relentless, and I love it.

[MJ]

It's like, oh, she is.

[Reza]

Oh, you feel bad?

[Brandi Glanville]

This guy is vicious. So Tinian's like, well, it's just the way you're approaching it is offending people. It feels like you're above and they're. And they're beneath you.

[Tommy]

She goes, oh, but they are.

[MJ]

They are beneath me. Everybody is pretending that they want to be very classy and things, but nobody's acting classy.

[Brandi Glanville]

Acting like a hyena sitting, waiting for.

[MJ]

A moment to jump on. It's so beneath me. I can't go that low, okay?

[Brandi Glanville]

I go to Erawan.

[MJ]

I do not go to Ralph's as much as I want to go look down on people. But listen, sometimes you have no choice. Sometimes you have to look down on someone.

[Ronnie]

And Tony's like, okay, well, Reza said That serum thing is just. Oh, that. You went behind my back and you talked to Reza about the serum thing.

[Reza]

That's what you did.

[Ronnie]

She goes, okay, and I apologize, because I would have felt bad if Reza brought that up to me. Okay. But then you come back to me with giving me discounts. Like, look at the discounts I gave you. I mean, that's the first thing that came to your mind? And she goes, well, yes, because Reza said, exactly. After my wife spent thousands of dollars. Your husband said, my wife spends thousands of dollars on your supporting your business. If your wife wanted to have my pieces, it wasn't just because of supporting my business. She wants to have a piece. And she did come to me, and I gave her a bargain on my pieces. Yeah, well, we saw the prices of your pieces, and they are way overpriced, so you giving a bargain is silly. It's like one of those Facebook ads. It's like, get a ban for your apple watch. Normally $9,000. Today only 100. I'm doing you.

[Brandi Glanville]

Yeah. You want me to believe that sky has a trunk show and Tanin doesn't buy a piece from the trunk show, and sky is, like, totally gonna be fine with it. No, of course Tina's gonna buy something, not only because she's a good friend, but she also knows that you're gonna have a meltdown if she doesn't buy a stupid trinket. So, yeah, Tanya's like, I. Yes, I do support my friend's business. Correct. And it's thousands of dollars. That's correct.

[MJ]

Yeah.

[Brandi Glanville]

But you never pay full price or even the price that anyone else ever paid. That's like, okay. So, yes, thank you for giving me a discount for when I'm spending thousands of dollars on your stuff, because otherwise you probably have a meltdown. But I'm still spending thousands of dollars on your stuff.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. And tanning's like, yeah, but I am still supporting you. Right. And sky is like, well, I'm not a starving student.

[Brandi Glanville]

I.

[Ronnie]

That I need this money so bad that I'm dying. Oh, really? Well, you are desperately trying to move out of a house, and you can't afford to, so you kind of are.

[Brandi Glanville]

You had a meltdown because there was no proper bartender for your trunk show. So I guess it seems like you are pretty desperate to have, like, the perfect event to sell your.

[Ronnie]

You need the money. You need the money.

[Brandi Glanville]

Yeah, the money.

[Ronnie]

And she's like, well, I just want to support you. And she was, thank you. She was, okay. But that's, you know, we're friends, and that's what I do for my friends. She goes, let me tell you something. Everything started with that night. She's like, not for me. It started with the serum. She was, okay for me. Good enough. Okay, you want to say skincare? Fine. I. I'm like, you know what? In your eyes, I fucked up. Okay, I get it. That was not my intention, but I fucked up. From the bottom of my heart, I'm very sorry that I care about my child. Dogs moisturizing. But, you know, I care about my dog.

[Brandi Glanville]

Well, thank you. And we're missing the Persian culture here, where it's, like, thoughtful and tarot, which means humility, and it's beautiful, and it's hospitality and it's family. It's just. It's very sad to me. And eventually it had to be said that if it did mean anything to you at any time, that you have to show that that's enough for you to want to hear the other side. So I guess she's trying to say, like, I accept your apology. But, like, why? Like, why was this so hard, right? Is that what she's trying to say here? Like, where's the humility? Where's the. Oh, no. My friend is upset in all this.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. She's saying, if we're really. If we're really family and close friends, then you can't just cut me off every time we have a fight. And Sky's like, well, I'm in a very tough spot with every single person here. And she goes, yeah, I'm sure you are. She goes, And I don't even know how. I don't even know how to talk to people, like, right now. Well, not by being an. You know, you're gonna have to, at some point be like, okay, I didn't mean to diss the Valley. I was being snotty. Sorry, everybody. I'll chill. That's it.

[Brandi Glanville]

Nothing can really justify what she did. She didn't stand up. She didn't speak up. She didn't stop. Greg. It's not acceptable to me. This conversation didn't change my mind at all. But I have no idea where we're going from here. I'm like, but you were being obnoxious to Tanin, so why would Tanin tell her husband to stop defending you? I mean, I know Greg said the thing about, like, hey, stop being a dick about the Valley. That's where I'm from.

[Ronnie]

But I think Greg was being really gross, actually, at that dinner, and so was Reza, and they were screaming at A woman. And Greg being like, oh, yeah, well, you don't got a choice, honey.

[Ben]

Good luck.

[Ronnie]

You got to stay in your house because you can't afford anything else, honey. I mean, I think he was an asshole. And I think Tanin did start that shit by going to Reza and saying, you know, she did this with my thing, and then Reza brought it up in public and started a fight and all of this. And so I would be pissed if I was sky too. I think that Tani wasn't being a good friend to her and I think her husband was being a shithead and she should have been like, stop yelling at my friend, dude. It's weird. So I think sky has a point. It's just that sky topped it by being ruder than everybody else and basically being like, I don't care. The alley's gross and you're all gross and I don't care. And then she turned it to the like, oh, and I've given you discount on my stuff. Like, she gets so nasty instead of just having the conversation. She could have walked away looking like she was in the right in that one, but she just didn't play it well. Blessed her heart. Yeah, she's my favorite one on the.

[Brandi Glanville]

Show, but she's still my favorite as well. They basically leave this conversation feeling like nothing's really changed, nothing's really moved. Sky isn't getting what she wanted out of Tenaneen. 10 is not getting what she wanted out of Sky. Their friendship is going to move to a more surfacey space. So now we go to empty.

[Ronnie]

They basically both say, still hate the bitch. All right, next scene.

[Brandi Glanville]

Can I have my bag back?

[Ronnie]

[Tommy]

And Tommy's like, hey, Sham, stop leaving trash around, okay? God, where are you getting all these popsicle sticks from? God.

[Brandi Glanville]

So then jams, leaves and mayor days and Tommy are sitting around.

[Tommy]

What's going on?

[Brandi Glanville]

She's like, well, right now, it's been a while since I've sold a house and this is a very scary market for real estate agents. I feel like she's. Is MJ trying to, like, leave clues to a secret treasure hunt? Like, she's like, listen to the words that I slow down on.

[Ronnie]

She's always. And she's always talk like this. It's like she's waiting for a fax to come through and she's reading it off. She's like, yeah, it's been like a long time since I sold a house and this is a very scary. Could you change the ink? Can somebody change the ink?

[Brandi Glanville]

All of the most productive real estate agents have not sold that much in a long time. And our nest egg. If I don't produce, I get worried a lot. So, yeah, she basically says that Tommy's built like a podcast network and it's just starting off because they do that show or they did that show. I don't know if they still do it till the dirt. And in the meantime, that's till the day.

[Ronnie]

A podcast company and the ground floor means Tommy is doing nothing but spending your money and sitting around his house all day in fucking sweats. I'm sorry, you can make it sound as good as you want to, but you don't start a podcast now if he doesn't have, like, investors giving him money to sit around. And it's just coming from you. He needs to get off his ass and do that in his spare time. He needs to get a job and do that in his spare time. Spoken from somebody who started a podcast, not a podcast network, but a podcast, and didn't get to not have another job for years. You don't just say, like, I'm not going to do anything because I have a podcast now. That's bullshit, sir. Get off your fucking lazy ass and get to work.

[Brandi Glanville]

He's definitely not giving the energy of someone who is scrambling to put together a podcast network. Every time we see him, he's just sitting on a sofa or, like, you know, going out to lunch with Vita or something like that. Like, we don't see this guy. Like, like Hustle and Bustle. I know. It's just what Bravo shows. There could be more going on. Okay. It could be an ice.

[Ronnie]

Buying a neon sign from Alibaba does not make a podcast network. Get a job.

[Brandi Glanville]

Yeah. So the pressure's on Mercedes to keep everything, you know, afloat. So she's like, I have to market myself or else I'm gonna be a one house Wanda. But I need to be a multi house. Oh, God. You don't want to be a one house Wanda. That's for sure. Be a multi house mare.

[Ronnie]

So she's like, look, I'm having a Twilight open house. I'm inviting the agency agents, all the gang. And everybody's like, where's Tommy? You know, you need to come.

[Ben]

And he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this. Stop it right now. I'm not going.

[Ronnie]

She's like, doing what?

[Ben]

He's like, I don't like them.

[Tommy]

And that's it.

[Ben]

That's it. You understand?

[Ronnie]

And he starts getting really mad because I'm sure he's told her a million times, if you want to do this show, do it. But I'm not doing it. There's no way you're getting me in this situation again.

[Brandi Glanville]

Yeah. Even though the podcast network seems to be based off of their podcasts, which has traction because MJ was on the Traders and is on Bravo. So it's a tricky thing. Like, it's. You know, I think my heart really just sort of rests with, like, Tommy did go through hell because of Reza, and there's just no reasonable way to expect him to drop everything to just do this. But then I just.

[Ronnie]

Tommy also went through hell. Tommy also went through hell because of Tommy. Tommy's decisions. Reza, you know, Reza has been poking people for years on this, on this channel. He's been ruining lives, doing whatever he can to be a messy little evil queen. He's been doing it for years. But not everybody assaults him and goes to their house and tries to kill them and destructs property. Tommy did that to him.

[Brandi Glanville]

That's the thing. That's the thing. And it's like, not only that. So it's like. Like, I understand that Tommy went to jail and, like, his life was massively affected by this, but it was Tommy's choice to go over there and on top of that, it's like, I can't help but also feel like I really do understand where MJ's coming from. Like, it sucks. Like, my husband won't come with me to anything. He's not. He won't even come to the things that, like, don't have Reza there. And, like, this is, like, she's the pr. She's, like, the primary breadwinner is basically what she's saying. And if the podcast network is basically built off of her fame and her success, he needs. She needs him to help her be successful, to help the podcast be something. Right?

[Ronnie]

So, like, beyond even just the podcast, I think she's trying to say, like, listen, I'm already the one. The pot people are listening to the podcast for me. I'm out with a real job as well as doing that. Plus, I'm doing this TV show, which is our biggest job of all, because we're finally back on tv. This is a huge job for me. And you won't even do that. Like, I even got you that job. And you won't show up to. To. To film. Like, if you have to fight with people and you have to do whatever, get off your ass. It's a job, like, make. Yeah, like, entertaining fight with Reza. Like, what do I.

[Brandi Glanville]

Just. Don't talk to him. Don't engage with him. Like, I can't. Like, I need to do this. This is like our family.

[MJ]

This is.

[Brandi Glanville]

I need this paycheck. And, like, I know you want me to make a concession for you, but you need to make a concession for me. And it's hard because their concessions are. Are against each other. But I think that for me, like, I don't know if it. I think I would. I think I would just get over my shit. And I think the point that you make is a really strong one, is that, like, this didn't happen in a vacuum. Tommy went over and he did do. He was the one who threw those pots around. It seemed overkill what. What Reza was, you know, put him through. But honestly, Tommy did it first.

[Ronnie]

Well, yeah, Reza is an. Like, I'm not. Yeah, Reza's. Reza is a piece of, but he's always been a piece of. That's who Reza is on this show. He's, like the villain of the show. He's like the hero and the villain of the show. So that's what he does. Tommy is the one. It's like, I had a friend who got a dui, and she accused. She went to a party, and the girl, she Went to a party for. Had invited this girl's ex and she didn't know. And so she got shit faced at this, like, really, really drunk at this party. And then this guy shows up. So she left the party and drove all the way from Santa Monica back to Silver Lake and got a DUI and blames the friend for her getting a DUI because a friend shocked her. And I'm like, no, you got in the car, fall down drunk. No one did that. Well, but she didn't tell me this. I said, but you still got so drunk. Like, you cannot blame somebody else for your dui. And I feel like that's Tommy.

[Ben]

It's like, do you know he ruined my life? I had depression.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, because you have a.

[Ben]

And he's like, I went to anger management.

[Ronnie]

And he's scream. I'm like, you're screaming at your wife on camera. How did that anger management work out for you?

[Brandi Glanville]

Like, how is that working? How is this therapy working where you like, can't even, like you're. You're in control of your own responses and reactions. So knowing that you have that power, like, just be there for your wife, like, I think in a perfect world they wouldn't have to be in this situation, but like, this is their lot in life, which is that, like, MJ's career is a reality star and you're banking your entire podcast network off of her fame. You built it off of her fame, essentially.

[Ronnie]

If Tommy had an actual job and he was like, listen, I know that you want to be back on tv, I don't want it, I'm never going to do it. But I support you wanting to do it as long as you keep me out of it. And he actually had a job and was contributing. I would think of this differently. I would be like, that's unfair to put him in this situation. He said he's uncomfortable. We've seen a lot of husbands on these shows, not film. They're like, I'm not going to do it. You know, and that's always okay. The reason for Tommy, the reason for me that it's not okay with Tommy is that he's not doing anything. He's not contributing. And saying you have a podcast network is bullshit and you're not contributing. And she's. This is now her third job. If you're going to include podcasts as a job, she's working three and you're doing nothing. So unless you do something, you don't have a say here.

[Brandi Glanville]

That's what I say right now. I Will say this, there's something else I'd like to add, which is that there is also a space where MJ could just say to her friends, you guys, stop fudgeing. Asking me if Tommy's going to come. You guys know what the situation is. You're putting me in a hard spot because now you're putting pressure on me to have to ask him. And like, this is makes him really on unhappy and it's hard on our marriage. And like, yes, I would love it if you could come, but. But he can't. And because part of that is because of what you did Reza. And like, that's just the way it is. So just stop fucking asking me.

[Ronnie]

You know that's true.

[Brandi Glanville]

Like, there is.

[Ronnie]

No, I think that that's true, but I think that also she probably doesn't want Tommy at these parties. She seems pretty over Tommy. And Tommy's so gross. I mean, he's always been gross, but.

[Ben]

Tommy's like, yeah, I just fought it. I just burped. I just took a huge shit at our anniversary.

[Ronnie]

Like, he thinks he's so hilarious. It's gross, it's disgusting. And I'm sure she does not care if Tommy is not out with her while she's trying to like, be a classy person to be an agency, you know, I'm sure she doesn't mind that he's not there, but she wants him there to make entertainment. You know, it's like, well, listen, we have opportunity.

[Brandi Glanville]

I think she wants him there as a partner. I think that like when you go into these situations and you never know, whenever you go into shoot and like, is Reza go, like, you never know if that's the day you walk into the party and Reza is going to ambush you and you just want to have backup and you're with everyone else who is a couple and then you can't have your person there. That's hard. And especially I'll say at a work event, it's really nice to have someone. It's nice to have your person there. So that way you know when things are like, if it's like boring or annoying or someone says you can just always like, it's the drive home and it can be like, can you believe what so and so said? Or whatever. I think that's like the value of having your person. So I understand why she wants him there. Is he probably the best look at a fancy open house? Probably not, but. But at the same time though, like, you know, in an ideal world, you.

[Ronnie]

Don'T put your Buffet on his armpits. That's really gonna sell this house.

[Brandi Glanville]

I know in an ideal world, though, if you're. If your spouse is massively uncomfortable being around someone in your world, like, you take. You've got to take your spouse's side. This is a real complicated. Is a really, really complicated one, which is, I think, actually something that makes this show compelling because there really is no easy answer to this. Because I go back and forth, like, you want to support your spouse, and you want to say, why should I put my spouse in a situation where they're so uncomfortable? But then you also want to say, but why. But shouldn't he also feel the same way that she's going and having to shoot this show to support this family, and she has to go at it alone over and over and over again? Because I can't. I can't get over my own shit, you know? And also, quite frankly, holding on to this anger and this resentment. Resentment. It's gonna eat him alive. It will. It's gonna destroy him. I don't know. I. I'm. I'm all over the map on this one.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, well, she. You know, it's. It's a mess. It's life, actually.

[Brandi Glanville]

It's actually.

[Ronnie]

It's very.

[Brandi Glanville]

Like, this is. This is actually the messiness of life. I hate to be trite about it, but it's true.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, but I mean, I think it just boils down to he didn't want to do it, but he's not doing anything else. And part of the reason he was in trouble is him. I mean, the whole reason he was in trouble is him. He wouldn't have gone to jail if he hadn't done what he did. He wouldn't have gone to jail for what Reza did. You know what I mean? Reza wouldn't have gone to jail for what he did. Tommy went to jail for what Tommy did. So he's got to take some personal responsibility. So he's like, you know, something's irreparable.

[Ben]

And you can forgive, but you can't be forgetful, because that's going to come back on you if you're not careful.

[Ronnie]

Well, yeah, it is, but that's what being on TV is. It's like. So he's like, he's not worth my time.

[Ben]

I do not care about him.

[Ronnie]

She goes, okay, well, let's just, you know, it doesn't have to be reson. I have a lot of friends, you know, and you don't have a negative history with them yet. You know, lots of people are still waiting to screw us over. Come on, man.

[Ben]

I don't want to hear any more.

[Tommy]

I don't want to hear any more about Natasha or Boris or fucking Heckle or Jekyll and Clyde. I don't give a Fuck. Unless it's Mr. Matt, I will hang out with Mr. Matt. But do you understand? Do you understand what makes me happy? I want to do what makes me happy, which is sticking my hand in my armpit and falling out the national anthem in front of Chance.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. Which is staying home doing nothing. And she's like, well, I'm the stable one and I've come through for us, and you've not come through for me.

[Ben]

And he's like, oh, well, you've really lucked out, man. I'm a shitty husband.

[Brandi Glanville]

Well, someone said it.

[Ronnie]

I mean, yeah, like, no one's gonna argue with you. And she's like, yeah, I'm not supported. And I feel like a Stockholm syndrome wife. Like, what the fuck? She's like, I'm frozen, Elsa. Not doing anything and just going like, I guess I'm okay with that, but I'm not. And she's like, you just threw your hands up in the air.

[Ben]

And he's like, it's never going to be what you want it to be.

[Ronnie]

Which is basically. And that's his attitude, you know, like earlier when he's like, then just divorce me.

[Ben]

Then if you're not happy, I'm not.

[Ronnie]

Going to make any changes. You divorce me. Then it's like, well, be careful what you ask for, buddy.

[Brandi Glanville]

Well, she won't just be a one house Wanda. She'll be a one house Wanda divorcee. So then we go to Gigi's, Gigi's car, and she's driving with Elijah, and he's like, just talking on his walkie talkie, like, pretending like he's talking to the police. And he's like, so if bad guys break into the house and steal all the money that we have, what happens? He's like, do you think a bad guy is gonna break into our house where the dogs that we have don't the bad guys know I love knives and I'm very violent.

[Ronnie]

I love that this kid is already practicing talking on walkie talkies to the police and getting them to his house, because you're gonna need that skill, kid. He's like, wow, Mommy, isn't it scary? Bad people could come into your house. The bad person is already in your house. It's her. She's driving you to school right now.

[Gigi]

Sir.

[Brandi Glanville]

So then we go over to Reza, who is meeting with a jeweler, and basically he is going. He's interested in having his dad's ashes turned into or put into or something with a pendant. And so he talks about his.

[Ronnie]

They take the carbon from dead people and they turn them into diamonds. Now, I'm sorry, but I'm not told what part of this car, where the carbon came from. It could have come from the face. Very pretty. It could have come from their. I don't want, like, my dead memaw's diamond. I don't want that. Who came up with this idea?

[Brandi Glanville]

I hate it. Yeah. So there Reza talks about his dad. It's a very nice moment. And he's, of course, very emotional about his dad passing and everything thing. And MJ comes and joins, and they're looking at the jewelry, and MJ's like, Can I ask how much? And this woman goes, it's around $28,000. And MJ just bursts out laughing right in this woman's face. She cannot stop laughing.

[Ronnie]

And Reza's crying, and he goes, that's what I said.

[Reza]

I was like, what? I could bring it. I could bring him back for 28 grand.

[Ronnie]

And the lady's just looking at him like, you guys, what the hell?

[Brandi Glanville]

It's like. She's like, that's. This is. This is. I'm giving you the sky discount. And so. So they have, like, a. Like a Reza and MJ sort of bonding moment where Reza's like, the only.

[MJ]

Person I could have had with me today is mj, because she knew my dad, and we've been friends for so long.

[Brandi Glanville]

So we see a flashback of spreading the ashes and everything back in 2018 and ever and all that stuff. So this woman leaves. She's like, these guys. I'm going back to milking thousands of dollars out of Bronwyn Newport. So she leaves. And so ever as an MJ are gonna have a drink.

[MJ]

He's like, thank you for coming. I needed you here to do all that. Like, you know, not to get, like, off death and ashes and stuff like that.

[Brandi Glanville]

She's like, yeah, we can get off that. Can we talk about my Twilight open?

[MJ]

It's like, babe, where's the open house gonna be at? Hopefully not in some home that's gonna cause a massive rift between our friend group.

[Ben]

It's gonna be in Layla's house, which.

[Ronnie]

Is Gigi's villain sister. And so Gigi hates her sister Layla. We've seen it over the years, and it's always really Fun.

[Brandi Glanville]

It's always really fun. Exhausting. I'm sorry. So for people who didn't watch, Shahs are just sort of coming into this world now. This has been an ongoing thing that Layla and Gigi don't like each other. And Gigi's always so mad at Layla and I still don't fully understand why after all these years, she's like, I can't stand my sister. She's just the worst person in the entire world. I'm like, I still don't really know why. She just hates Leila.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, she hates her. She's always hated her because Leila's like the good one and Gigi's the one who never does anything. Why does Gigi get away with doing nothing in life? And you still give her all this.

[Gigi]

Money and all this mind your own business, you.

[Ronnie]

So MJ knows that Gold Ness is going to be pissed, but that's like her only house and she has to have a Twilight open because Mauricio told her to. So that's it. She's doing it at Leila's.

[Reza]

And Rez is like, wait a minute. Let me ask you this. Are you going to talk to Gold Nessa? Because you need to tell her, like, listen, like, I be having like a bitches sister's house on the market. Like, I just want to give you like a heads up because, you know, I love what the three of us are at right now. Okay? Don't mess it up.

[MJ]

Yes. I really love how we're all getting along. So, like, maybe I'll tell Gigi that you're going to sell her her sister's house on tv and Mauricio is going to be there. Gigi will be so mad. God, I love that we're all friends.

[Reza]

I love for us being in the place where we're all together so I can break us up apart again.

[Ronnie]

And so I'm just like, okay, I'll tell her. Dun dun dun.

[Reza]

Commercials.

[Brandi Glanville]

Here comes one right now.

[Brandi Glanville]

So now, speaking of discord, we go to a restaurant in Beverly Hills because of course, sky is never going to shoot a restaurant scene in the Valley if she doesn't have to. And sky and Bombshad, they're going to dinner. And he's like, so, how are you doing? And she's like, well, today I was supposed to meet with Reza Jacks. And then literally a second later, I saw Tenin walk in. Oh, she walked in. Yeah, like, so she just, like, really tried to hard to convince me that Reza started the conversation. He's like, no, no. Reza may have. But of course I don't remember anything. You know, he gets mauricio.

[Ronnie]

He gets some mauricio. Uh oh, a woman's feeling something. And he's like, oh, he just gets a confused face. He's like, I don't remember.

[Brandi Glanville]

I think I remember.

[Ronnie]

By the way, question. Are women on this show allowed to order? Because they never do, I don't think. Like, the first scene, Reza ordered for them, and then this scene he's ordering for them, and then Reza goes to lunch with somebody else later and he orders everything. Like, is that just a thing?

[Brandi Glanville]

Better than maybe know that if Sky. If sky orders. I think in this case, I think Bombshell knows the sky orders. It'll be just like a plate of scallions. And that's it.

[Ronnie]

They'll be like, ma', am, can I take your order? Erwan, just please, everyone.

[Brandi Glanville]

One. One half pint of Bulgar, please. Thank you. It's enough for both of us.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. So they're talking about the. The ambush. And she's like, yeah. So she says that Reza started it. He's like, I don't remember. And she's. Let me tell you something. As much as I'm pissed off at Greg, I'm pissed off at you the most. You the most. I was like, oh, God, he's never going to hear the end of this.

[Brandi Glanville]

And she's like, I'm still very mad that bombshot because he didn't defend me in Palm Springs. And they're like, how long are you going to be mad at him? She starts to laugh because probably for.

[MJ]

The rest of my life, I'm going to be mad at him. She's like, I will.

[Brandi Glanville]

She's like, happy. She's like, oh, my God, I have.

[MJ]

A new grudge for the rest of my life. This is so fun.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. And he's like, well, you know, I should have done the Right thing. I didn't do the right thing, and for this, I'm sorry. And I'm the first one to admit it, you know, with the boys. I said, look, you disrespected my wife. And we see him telling them at that party, and he's like, you're talking to my wife. You're talking to my family and me. And he says. I told him that she never offended anybody. She was. Oh, did you say that? This is a new part I didn't hear before? Huh? You said that? He goes, yes. She goes, oh, so you. You said this because I already told you. She's like, I'm not gonna let it go. I don't believe you. I don't believe. So then he's basically, she does not believe him.

[Brandi Glanville]

He goes, well, what do you want me to say? I make a. I made a mistake over here. What do. What the do you want from me? And she's like. And I was like, oh, Bombshad, you've known your wife longer than I have even I can tell you that was a mistake. Because now she's like. She. The look that she gives him. I was like, get him, Sky. Get him. So she was like, I was fighting with everybody that night, and then you sat right next to me and you looked at me. Don't talk to me like that ever in your life, ever.

[Ronnie]

Ever.

[Brandi Glanville]

You owe me. You owe me a lot. I was like, oh, she just. The look. The withering look that she gives Bombshot. Oh, she's.

[Ronnie]

She gets, like, straight up hatred on her face all the time, like, often, you know? And he's like, okay, well, you know, the answers that you want, I've given you already. And she's like, I don't want to attack you. And he says, you are attacking me. And she's like, no, because I would never turn my back like you. And he goes, well, you've never had my. And now they're speaking in Farsi at each other and kind of yelling at each other in this restaurant. And he's like, you never had my back from day one. When have you had my back? And she just stops and tries to think of something and then can't think of anything. Because you know that that's true, too.

[Brandi Glanville]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

I mean, I'm sure that he wants. She wants him to stick up for her, but whenever it comes to him, she's like, he is an idiot. You're correct. You're correct.

[Brandi Glanville]

She should have just said, what. What could I possibly have your back on? Because you don't do anything in the first place. You have to do something for me to have your back on it. So he's like, I've been through a lot of difficulties and pretty much on my own. And she's always been self centered. But then again, she's my wife. I've accepted her the way she is. A self centered brat. And I have supported her right the wrong. I'm always going to have her back. I'm like, wow, this will really age well in your couples therapy that you're sure to be going into soon. God, can you imagine? Could you imagine calling your wife on TV self centered?

[Ronnie]

She is though. She is. But you know, I mean, that's the thing.

[Brandi Glanville]

Your kids are gonna see this.

[Ronnie]

Well, they're gonna see him, her calling him a piece of every day too. So, you know, welcome, welcome to your.

[Brandi Glanville]

But like she's saying it to his face. At least, at least they're having an argument, but he's just alone in a confessional being like, yeah, she's self centered, but I accept it. So she's like, she's like, you know what? I don't even think I have this conversation with you ever that night. Seriously. So I guess that's where they leave it, which is that they hate each other still.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, divorce is coming now. We go to Natasha and Amir's house and I'm sorry, they bore me. I don't care. I mean, I know that, you know, he's been through a lot and blah, blah, blah. They've got a storyline that everyone, you know, cries about and stuff. I find them extremely boring. I'm bored. Well, although I don't. I did like that they gave us a reason to not like a mirror today because I needed one.

[Brandi Glanville]

I don't even remember what the reason was not to like them. But the.

[Ronnie]

Oh, we'll get to it later. It's not so.

[Brandi Glanville]

But, but the premise of the scene, that's all that matters, is that Amir wants everyone to come together and why not do it amongst the innocence of kids and relax. I'm like, oh, fuck off.

[Ronnie]

Surely, surely everybody will behave around the kids. Are you kidding me?

[Brandi Glanville]

Oh my God. I was like, this is like my nightmare. You're gonna like force me to go to a kitty party with Bouncy Bouncy castle to like mend wounds. No, no. Get out of here.

[Ronnie]

And now we go to the woods weed cafe where Gigi, Reza and MJ are gonna go so Gigi can smoke.

[Gigi]

Some weed because she's a rebel.

[Brandi Glanville]

I smoke weed. Guys. That's my personality. I smoke. I smoke ganja. Aren't I crazy? I. The only way to make me less violent and playing with knives is to smoke grass.

[Ronnie]

And she even lights her joint like she's in high school.

[Gigi]

She's like, yeah, me, I'm smoking marijuana.

[Brandi Glanville]

Yeah, don't give me that look. You want to fight? Meet me behind the supermarket at 3pm don't be late.

[Gigi]

Okay, guys, I saw this house today. Check it out.

[Ronnie]

So she pulls out a listing, and MJ's like, what?

[Reza]

You're going to buy this house? It's so expensive.

[Gigi]

Well, they listed it for sale. But then he's like, you know what? We're also going to be listing it for lease as well. And I said, how much? And he said, 14, 5.

[Reza]

14 5.

[MJ]

That is a lot of money.

[Reza]

Bullshit. That is crazy.

[Brandi Glanville]

It's a lot of money. But I thunk about it all day. Yeah, I thunk real hard. And I'm gonna ask Dennis for the money, guys. And they're looking, and Reza's like, how much money? Honestly, like, I love Reza losing his mind with Gigi's terrible financial choices. It is so funny seeing the look on his face because he cannot deal. And she's like, well, three thousands of it. Three thousand of it will come from him per month because he still owes me alimony.

[MJ]

He's like, put the lease on alimony.

[Ronnie]

I'm sure. How are you getting alimony for being married for a week?

[Brandi Glanville]

You were a. No, it was annulled. You don't get alimony from an element, right?

[Gigi]

No.

[Ronnie]

By the way, I think so.

[Brandi Glanville]

He my friend, a week after we got married, so he owes me $3,000 a week for the rest of his life. What are you talking about?

[MJ]

Reza's like, so you're working this guy that you threw out of the vacation house, sent his ass packing, and now you're gonna hit him up and squeeze him? Hopefully she puts his name on the lease, because what if he doesn't want to give her money after the after month? 1, 2, 3, 4. Then you're stuck paying, like, $14,000. Be like, owing a lot of money.

[Reza]

Am I right?

[Ronnie]

But also, where's she getting the other 9,000?

[Brandi Glanville]

I know that question, too.

[Ronnie]

So I'm just like, okay, well, so anyway, I'm having, like, a twilight open house, and, you know, at your sister's house, and she's like.

[Brandi Glanville]

She's.

[Ronnie]

Well, you know, I've been selling your sister's home, and it hasn't soul. So now we have to you know, all show up in a loving, supportive way.

[Brandi Glanville]

I don't think I can make it that day. I'm going to a convention for bad girls. And MJ is like. Like, don't say that. She's like, I just did.

[Gigi]

No, I'm going to a punch it convention. It's a convention that I go to where I just need to punch something. I just need to hit it. So mad right now.

[Brandi Glanville]

You know what it's like when you're raised on the mean streets of your driveway in a nice house, and you just have a rough and tumble childhood of having a lot of money around. Man, I'm angry.

[Gigi]

The rough and tumble streets of Palos Verdes.

[Ronnie]

So the producers ask her what her relationship with her sister's like, and she's like, non existent.

[Gigi]

Marissa's definitely overstepping by throwing this twilight at myself sister's house and inviting me. But I guess she overstepped it a decade ago when she decided to become best friends with my sister. Knowing the dynamic between my sister and I, it's just so much overstepping. I need to hit something.

[Brandi Glanville]

And MJ is being a little bit of a. Because it's one thing to be like, just so you know, I'm doing this thing, but she's like, so you're not gonna come?

[Ronnie]

Like, that's not gonna be supportive.

[Brandi Glanville]

I don't understand why Gigi hates her sister so much, but I will at least appreciate that she does. And, like, that's ridiculous to ask Gigi to come to it. And also, why do you want Gigi there? She's gonna make a scene, and she's also not interesting.

[Ronnie]

Well, that's the whole point. MJ's trying to make a show. She's like, you've got to be there to fight with my sister, and my husband's got to be here to fight with Reza. What are you people not understanding? We have been given another chance.

[Brandi Glanville]

Reza's like, if you don't want to.

[MJ]

Come, that's one thing, but you don't need to insult her.

[Brandi Glanville]

And she's like, I'm not insulting anyone. I'm just looking for a nice surface that I can punch because I'm angry. And Reza is like, yeah, but you.

[MJ]

Just said, that's my family. Back off.

[Brandi Glanville]

I think you're pushing it, Raza.

[MJ]

Dude, we're all in a good place, okay? By the way, Adam brought you a small little ramekin of tabouli. Come on. We're in such a good place.

[Ronnie]

So MJ's like, there's no loyalty here, okay? So figure it out. Or when it's time to show up for you, I will piss on your parade. And she just like, oh, really?

[Gigi]

Well, is your husband coming, mj? Why isn't he coming then?

[Ronnie]

And she's like, well, he doesn't feel comfortable.

[Gigi]

Oh, well, that's a good excuse for him. Although I don't feel comfortable either. I don't feel comfortable either. People aren't going to feel comfortable with my dildo up their asses either. But guess what? They're going to buy it and they're. I'm ruining my own point. Just get on with it.

[Brandi Glanville]

Gigi actually had a good point there. That was. That was good. She set it up and she. She got. She got MJ on that one. And MJ's like, well, okay, well, let's put the twilight on ice because I'm.

[MJ]

Gonna say, yeah, Maris, we don't want mares to be a one house wanda marriage. By the way, Maris, should I text Tommy and see if we can move past this? Like, why are you laughing at me, Gigi? I'm being sincere. I want to be like, let's help Maris not be a one house Wanda and be a multi house mares by us getting along. What do you guys think?

[Ronnie]

Oh, really?

[Gigi]

You're gonna text Tommy right now? That's something I'd like to see. Okay, I'll encourage that. That's funny.

[Ronnie]

So he does, and he texts him and he's like, hi, Tommy, I'm sorry.

[Reza]

If this seems like it's coming from left field, but I wanted to say, hey, white boy. I'd love to see you at nurses twilight Open. Like, I understand if. Bitches, that's not an option. But, like, I look forward to a time in our future where we could be in a better place. Regards, Mr. Farts in my face.

[MJ]

Reza, I hope this text doesn't throw you the way you threw the cactus at my wall. Please, let's be friends again.

[Ronnie]

So he's like, we need to figure this out. Maybe Tommy can process, but I might.

[Reza]

Need some holy water.

[Brandi Glanville]

So GG is like, this is a big deal. Wow. Did you send it? Omg. Even me, a bad girl, is stunned into submission with this. So Reza is like, yeah, if Tommy.

[MJ]

Hits me back, I might have a heart attack.

[Brandi Glanville]

So now Natalie and Amir's house, they put the kids to bed and they're talking about having another kid. And Amir, Natasha wants him to get a vasectomy, and he's basically like, well, you know, we could do other things. Like, I could wear a condom. And she's like, but we're married. I don't want to have to wear a condom with you. So then he's like, well, why don't you do birth control? Why do I have to go through. You're the woman. You should be the one who has to do things to your body. Not me. A man.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, this is where I was like, oh, yeah, I don't like you. I knew I didn't like you. So he's like, yeah, just get on birth control. And she's like, yeah, get a vasectomy, because that's reversible. And I'm not putting hormones in my body. I eat healthy. I take all these supplements to be super healthy after having all these damn kids for you. And he's like, well, I gotta go under surgery and subject my body to trauma. And she's like, oh, my God, I had three C sections. You want to talk about your body going into fucking trauma? Come on.

[Brandi Glanville]

Seriously. Good for her. Good for her for saying that. He's like, well, what if you decide that I'm over you and then I'm stuck with a vasectomized, you know, private part? She's like, so you're gonna have kids with other people? He's like, no, I'm just saying. Kids. I want to have kids with other people.

[Ronnie]

She's like, okay, so you want to keep your options open? Great. Yeah, he's not doing great in this scene, for sure.

[Brandi Glanville]

Yeah, shut up and get it.

[Ronnie]

And then he's like, but I went through a crazy experience of my first marriage because, you know, we couldn't conceive. And now I'm able to have kids, and it feels wrong to eliminate the ability to do something that was hard to want. Oh, shut up and get your tubs tied. You can get them. You can get them untied later if you need to. You would.

[Brandi Glanville]

Let's. Let's close up shop for the night. Okay, so now we go over to Westwood, and Tanin and Reza meet up at a restaurant. And Reza's like, you know, I had a boys night.

[MJ]

And, like, I'm sure Greg told you about it, and it was, like, really difficult.

[Brandi Glanville]

And we see flashbacks to it and Bombshot doing his whole thing of, like.

[MJ]

If you disrespect sky, you're disrespecting my family. If you disrespect my family, you're disrespecting me.

[Brandi Glanville]

So Reza's like, this man had his.

[MJ]

Ass handed to him by his wife.

[Brandi Glanville]

I could tell, you know, and she's like, do you feel like you got off your chest about how you feel?

[MJ]

Then he's like, yeah, well. So, honestly, the most important person I want to talk to was you, which is why I actually waited, like, three episodes to talk to you. And I'm like, really sorry, because I didn't like that I put you in a sticky situation, and that was not my intent.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, right. So we see him just totally outing Tanim for talking badly about sky and the moisturizer and all of that. And she's like, okay, well, accountability is huge to me, so I really appreciate you apologizing. Wow. I mean, I felt like you just had so many things you were already upset about. And he's like, totally. And she's like, well, look, sky feels like nobody likes her. She feels ambushed, she feels attacked, and she hates that I didn't stand up for her.

[Tommy]

He's like, stand up for her?

[Reza]

She's nuts.

[Brandi Glanville]

Well, whatever her insecurity is or whatever it is, she's in this, like, defensive mode and she wants to protect it so badly.

[MJ]

What is she protecting, some stupid jewelry?

[Brandi Glanville]

She's like, well, I'll tell you a different version of the story. She did move to the States by herself with no family. And that's why we accept them as our own family, because we want them to feel like they have that. But you would think that that would humble you, and somehow it didn't.

[MJ]

That's the part that I'm talking about. Be like, not humble.

[Reza]

Okay.

[MJ]

She's acting like a multi house Maris, but she's one woman Wanda. One house Wanda. Whatever the Wanda thing is. She's like all the Wandas. She's like, wanda, no vision.

[Reza]

Am I right?

[MJ]

High five, bitches be making wonder puns. Yeah.

[Reza]

Telling me about the. About Sky's upbringing, that makes, like, so much sense because she has, like, zero self awareness. Like, she's like, at the bottom of self awareness, so it makes. Makes total sense, you know?

[Ronnie]

And so he asked her where they stand today, and she's like, well, unless I see some drastic efforts, there's no chance we can ever go back to that.

[Brandi Glanville]

So then we go to MJ and Tommy's house, and they're painting a room Alcatraz black for whatever reason. Maybe it's their podcast studio. And MJ's like, so wanna know what I've been saying that's nice about you behind your back?

[Tommy]

He's like, no, probably not.

[Brandi Glanville]

Well, our podcast has been one of the main places where we've had healthy communication, and I'm grateful for it.

[Ben]

Oh, man.

[Tommy]

It sounded like a dragon just flew by, but it was actually just the sound of my tater tots in my stomach.

[Ronnie]

God, get rid of him.

[Brandi Glanville]

What the hell?

[Ben]

He's like, we got a podcast. It's called Tell the Dirt. And the podcast has been great, all right? And when we sit down, we turn that mic on, we're honest, we're vulnerable. It's been a key to our relationship. All right?

[Ronnie]

And she's like, so are you gonna tell me who got a text from Reza? And we see Reza calling MJ and.

[Reza]

Saying, oh, my God. Tommy responded to my text. He said, how did you get tabouli to fall out of my phone?

[MJ]

And then he wrote, appreciate you reaching out. We're almost rap, so let's touch base once filming is done, and we can go from there.

[Brandi Glanville]

So basically, I love.

[Ronnie]

Tommy's like, yeah, when you want to do this, not for a TV show, I'll. I'll give you a chance.

[Brandi Glanville]

Yeah. So MJ's like, that's great.

[Tommy]

He's like, yeah, sorry about that. Whoa.

[Brandi Glanville]

That one.

[Tommy]

That must have registered on the winter scale.

[Ronnie]

So she talks about how it's, like, so hard doing such adulting, and she tells him, you know, like, I used to be so passionate about us. He's like, what?

[Ben]

You're not passionate about us now?

[Brandi Glanville]

Well, I want to be, but I have. I have to feel safe to be passionate.

[Tommy]

Well, look, I don't get when you talk about feeling safe. I'm not saying that I'm perfect. I'm far from it. I know I'm a good guy. I know I'm a good guy. But you know what? You know, I'm a good.

[Brandi Glanville]

I'm a good guy.

[Tommy]

I'm a good dude.

[Brandi Glanville]

She's like, yeah, no, you are a good guy.

[Tommy]

No, if I weren't a good guy, I'd be gone.

[Brandi Glanville]

Okay.

[Tommy]

I think gone, dude. Sorry about that.

[Ronnie]

She's like, yeah, you would be gone.

[Ben]

He goes, yeah, I would be gone.

[Ronnie]

She says, well, we never. We would never do that with Shams in the picture. So we want to make sure we're good, right? Just us.

[Ben]

He's like, yeah, but there's also a level, like, I don't want to teach him the wrong things either. So I'm not going to stay in a situation where I'm not happy because unhappy people, they leave popsicle sticks on tables. All right? And if you make a choice, you don't have to die. With the decision, you can fix it. You could change it, or you could just leave the. You know what I'm saying?

[Brandi Glanville]

The irony of Tommy talking about, like, the impermanence of decisions that you make while also, like, digging his heels in and absolutely never seeing Reza again. So MJ is like, okay, I. So I love that you said that, because that makes me feel like you're not saying despite us just for him. But then I also want to know that we are staying for each other.

[Tommy]

Like, yeah, well, we should probably go to therapy, man. I mean, I think it's important for you to have someone that could be your sounding board. Why?

[Ben]

Because it ain't gonna be me.

[Ronnie]

And she's like, yeah, I think it's. I'm really happy. Like, you know, I'm. I'm happy because I thought it was hopeless, but maybe I'm not. Maybe I have hope for us now because he said the word therapy, and.

[Ben]

He'S like, wow, you did good. All right. You married me. You did great.

[Brandi Glanville]

Yeah. Make me sad.

[Ben]

That was a little one.

[Brandi Glanville]

They're like, that was a kiss.

[Ben]

That was like a kiss.

[Brandi Glanville]

Yeah, it was a little taco kiss. Yeah. It's always sad because you know it's not going to work out with them. So then we go to Natasha and Amir's house for their big party, and everyone arrives. Adam and Reza show up with giant boxes, charcuterie. I was, like, afraid the box would open up. It would just be, like, tabouli piled on tabuli. And Reza's like, oh, my God, you guys.

[MJ]

Okay, everyone, gather round, Gather round. So MJ and I go. And we meet. Go NASA, who were on great terms with. Let me tell you all about what's going on in her life. So she gonessa goes, I went and saw this house, and it's for rent for $14,000 a month.

[Ronnie]

Didn't he just get in trouble in the first episode for talking shit about Gigi's finances to people? And now immediately, he's like, oh, my.

[Reza]

God, he can't wait to tell you. Gigi is such a loser. 14,000amonth. And I'm like, okay, but she's got a plan. Get this. She's going to hit Dennis up for, like, three grand of that money. Like, bitches be crazy.

[Brandi Glanville]

And they're like, whoa, this is a lot. And like.

[Ronnie]

And.

[Brandi Glanville]

But Tennine's like, why are you depending on someone who you say betrayed you? Like, why? Where do you draw the line? So Tanine's like, why the would you do that? I love the fact that it seems like Tanine just hates Gigi. She has, like, no respect for Gigi. Because I feel like Tanin and Gigi are brought in from different worlds. Like, there are different spokes of the. The central acts, whatever the connection is. And I feel like Tanin would never hang out with Gigi in any way, in any capacity if it weren't for this TV show.

[Ronnie]

I don't think any of these people would accept MJ and Reza. I think everybody looks at Gigi like, o.

[Brandi Glanville]

Because they're all, like, a more evolved place of their. Of their life and their careers, right? Even like, yeah.

[Ronnie]

Reza. Reza Jackson.

[Brandi Glanville]

Yeah. Honestly. So re is like, they have a.

[MJ]

Very unique relationship, right?

[Brandi Glanville]

So Greg is there, and he. And so Gigi walks up. Up. She's like, hi, everyone. And Greg's like, oh, we were just talking about you in the house that you checked out. She's like, hello is usually a word that you say to someone unless you want them to get angry and mad.

[Gigi]

I mean, you can talk about me. You can definitely say hello to me, right?

[Ronnie]

And he's like, calm down, bro. You came in hot again.

[Gigi]

She's like, I have nothing to hide, but, like, why am I always the fucking topic in this group? Like, move on. Talk about your failing marriages or something.

[Brandi Glanville]

That was a good point that she made. Also, she did not come in hot. You guys. You literally. She walks up and you say, we were just talking about you. What's going on with your finances? Like, you came in hot, Greg. So then Vita shows up, which is great. She starts patrolling right away. And Reza.

[Ronnie]

Trolling and patrolling both.

[MJ]

Why is. Why is Shri out in the sun? I don't. Well, this is dangerous.

[Ronnie]

They ask if Skye's coming. Nobody knows. Has anybody talked to Sky? Oh, my God. And Adam's like, I texted her. She didn't respond. I can't imagine. I can't imagine. Does anybody respond to Adam's texts.

[Brandi Glanville]

Ow. Your text hurt me, Gigi.

[Ronnie]

So Greg's like, yeah, well, every time she gets into anything with my wife, my wife has to reach out, and it's over. And how important is this relationship? And Tanin's like, yeah, you know, we'll be cordial, whatever. So then MJ shows up with Shams, and Elijah comes up to Gigi. He's like, mom, I need my police radar. I'm gonna call the police. Because that other kid said stupid.

[Gigi]

And she goes, oh, yeah, well, maybe you need to say. We don't say words like that.

[Brandi Glanville]

No, mom, he said that you're stupid. And then all the kids started agreeing.

[Gigi]

Why am I always a fucking topic around here?

[Brandi Glanville]

So then Gigi sits down with Adam and she's like, I'm not gonna get on your case because you're not giving me any best friend attention because you're trying to take care of your husband right now. He's like, oh, Gigi. He wants me to give him some more affection. Like touching. Oh, yeah, yeah, you should probably should do that. And I'm like, thinking maybe tantric yoga or maybe just not doing anything with him. Yeah, okay, you could do either one of those things. But I've heard that you can have an orgasm just from eye contact with tantric yoga.

[Gigi]

It's very intimate.

[Ronnie]

He's like, you think tantric yoga is something Reza would be into?

[Gigi]

She's like, anything that's. I mean, maybe if there's some rolls there or something, you know, that he could snack on. I mean, he'd be into that. You know, you can get some undies, some lubes.

[Ronnie]

And he's like, but isn't being naked enough? Okay, so you want to go to naked hot yoga, sex yoga with Reza? Why do you need to fill my visuals with this? Nobody needs that. Please don't put that upon the public.

[Brandi Glanville]

No, we. I Even just the thought of it is really, like, matching. The two of them sitting there naked, like, cross legged, just staring into each other's eyes and then just, like, both orgasming. I'm like, I don't need that. So then Bombshot arrives alone. Everyone's like, oh, my God.

[Ronnie]

Bombshell's alone.

[Brandi Glanville]

And Adam's like, oh, my God. Said, hey, by the way, do you think Res and I should have kids? Does anyone think, should we bring this back? I'm like, please don't bring back this four season saga that we had to endure. No, no, kids.

[Ronnie]

We didn't believe you the first time around. We're not gonna believe you at age 60 or whatever the hell we're pushing now.

[Brandi Glanville]

Stop it, Reza. Jax is confused. He's like, how does that even work? Is it like this? He puts his two fingers together like the girl from out of this world. Like, two penises touching. Like, that's not how it goes.

[Ronnie]

So then Vita comes over and she's talking to the lifeguard. So she goes, they've hired a lifeguard for this party, this pool party. And she goes over and she's like, I don't know that you should be here. You should be over there. The kids should not be going that far. They should Only be going this far. This is not very safe. He's like, the kids are fine. No, no, no, no, no, no.

[Reza]

The kid should not be going over there. It's very unsafe for the kids.

[Ronnie]

What are you, a lifeguard? And he goes, yeah, I'm a lifeguard. She goes, oh, okay.

[MJ]

She's like, the kids should not be in the deep end.

[Brandi Glanville]

It's like, I know. That's why I'm standing here.

[MJ]

It's like, no, but, you know, they.

[Brandi Glanville]

Should be in the shallow end. I know, but you're professional. I am. He's like, off, lady.

[Ronnie]

I just cracked up. He goes, yeah, I am a lifeguard.

[Reza]

She was okay.

[Ronnie]

Like, she got. She finally got stumped. They're like, vita's coming. We better get a professional. Because, you know, she's gonna ask somebody if they're a professional.

[Brandi Glanville]

Yeah, I love that. I love that. She just goes over to inspect the. The lifeguard for his credentials. So then the rest of the gang is sitting together under this tent because, you know, it's blazing hot there, and they all only have this tiny little tent to crowd under. So they're asking, where's Sky? And Bombshad said that she's in Vegas for a jewelry convention. And Reza's like, yeah, it's been a mess. It's been a minute since boys night, huh? Remember all the snacks I put out? And Tanyan is saying, yeah, by the way, this is the. Everyone. This is the most we've seen Bombshot in quite some time. Look at him. He's happy, so relaxed.

[Ronnie]

This is where the cast starts to slowly start to divorce you. Like, they start to try and get you divorced. So it's just like, wow, he's so relaxed now, right, everybody? Doesn't he look happier without Sky? Right? He's like, well, I'm conflicted. You know, it's not easy to forgive and forget. Well, it's not easy to forgive. It's very easy to forget. What were we talking about?

[Brandi Glanville]

Who are we talking about?

[MJ]

You're right. It is easy to forget.

[Ronnie]

So Gigi and Reza are talking, and.

[Gigi]

Gigi's like, I'm surprised Bombshad's here. I was happy to see him. So he came without his wife. Then what? What's that about?

[Brandi Glanville]

And then MJ's asking bombshot how he feels, and he's like, I mean, I.

[MJ]

Feel okay, but I think Palm Springs for me was a bit disapproved because I feel like I was disrespected. And if you disrespect my wife, you Disrespect my family.

[Brandi Glanville]

And they're all like, and if you disrespect my family, you're disrespecting me. Yes. Bombshot, we know you're lying. You worked hard on it. Very hard on it. Good job.

[Ronnie]

So MJ is like, yeah, but, like, you know, I think she thinks she's right and she's holding on to being right more. And then she, you know, she would rather that than men, fences, and we love and care about her. So you're the only one that's really talking to her that she shows up, so you need to do something. And he's like, yeah, but you've got to understand the whole situation also put me in a compromising position with my wife. By compromising, I mean, I woke up with a pillow over my head, being pressed down very, very hard.

[Brandi Glanville]

And she said, I probably would have killed you if I didn't have to walk to a whole other room and get myself tired in the process. So she told me, you.

[Ronnie]

You can't even die right.

[Brandi Glanville]

MJ goes, well, I'm just saying she should show up to my event, because I'm really putting a lot into this. Twilight open at Layla's house. Reza Jack's like, yeah, she wants buyers. No, no, I don't. I just want that. Sky doesn't exclude herself, because I hate a divide. And I've been the person on the outside, and I've. I've been the one that is feeling like that on the sidelines. And Bombshell's like, well, let me tell you all one thing. I don't think she has any negative feelings, anything bad towards any of you at all.

[MJ]

If you feel that way, maybe you should reach out to her and ask her, because I cannot answer that.

[Brandi Glanville]

Yes, sky has no bad feelings whatsoever. She's just can't wait to see everyone and hang out, specifically in the Valley at a Valley restaurant.

[Ronnie]

Although I'm did. I'm glad he did say this part, because MJ is like, yeah, I just want sky to know how much I care about her. And I know what it's like, and I totally feel for her. He's like, well, you haven't called her once. I mean, it's been. How long has it been since that nobody's calling her. What are you guys talking about? And it kind of shut MJ up. She's like, oh, right. Yeah. I mean, I guess I could. It's like, I don't think she'll have her guard down anytime soon. So going in forward, watch out. She's coming for you.

[Brandi Glanville]

And Amir's like, well, we don't want to put him in the hot seat again, that's for sure. And Bob's like, no, and I will never do it again. There's definitely some walls and there's some.

[MJ]

Things, and hopefully we'll get through it.

[Reza]

Hopefully.

[Brandi Glanville]

But time will tell.

[MJ]

Because if you insult my wife, you insult my family. And if you insult my family, you insult me.

[Reza]

Wow, he's really a one Wanda. Word, man. One word, Wanda.

[Brandi Glanville]

And then the screen closes up on Reza's face in a little circle. Then he winks and it goes to black.

[Ronnie]

That brings us to the end of the valley, Persian style and the end of our week. Next week we are going to be at the South Beach Food and Wine Festival in Mijami on the 21st, I believe.
