As the warm weather cools, I'm swapping in the pieces that actually get the job done: warm, durable, and built to last.
And Quince delivers every time with wardrobe staples that'll carry you through the season.
Quince has the kind of fall staples you'll actually want to wear on repeat, like 100% Mongolian cashmere from just $60, classic fit denim and real leather and wool outerwear that looks sharp and holds up.
I've got my eye on their suede trucker jacket.
It's perfect for layering and just looks really casual but put together.
And I know that Nick is going to be trying to steal it constantly.
By partnering directly with Ethical Factories and top artisans, Quince cuts out the middleman to deliver premium quality at half the cost of similar brands.
These pieces have truly revamped my closet.
Everything from Quince is not only so cute, but also such great quality and makes me feel like I can stop wasting my money on fast fashion and actually invest in pieces that will last me a lifetime.
Quince has really become a go-to across the board.
They have amazing bedding, bathwear, cookwear, travel accessories.
Their expandable carry-on suitcase is so light and sturdy, but it has a removable laundry bag for your dirty clothes, which is key.
Chef's kiss.
Cannot get better than that.
So layer up this fall with pieces that feel as good as they look.

What's going on, everybody?
Welcome back to another exciting episode of the Vile Files.
I am your host, Nick, joined by the household and my supportive, lovely, gorgeous, wonderful blue wife.
She's a little
dressed in a blue.
She's dressed in blue.
I'm an avatar.
She's a little small.
Nice to meet you all.
I'm a smurf.
Lovely.
What was the sexy name?
Did he just call you a smurf?
He did.
Varuka Salt.
Her name was what?
Arugasalt?
That was the hot one?
Varuka Salt.
Well, she turned violet.
Oh, violet.
Violet, Violet, you're turning violet.
There's no way they would have named this sexy one Arukasalt.
Varuka.
Well, Varuka Salt was also like a 90s grunge band.
By the way,
the color blue represents calmness, stability, trust, and loyalty.
And sadness.
Me, me, me.
Leia.
I'm just saying.
Well, we have a fantastic episode lined up for you.
We got a lot of bravo to get into.
We got some Salt Lake City.
We got some Potomac, we got some
internet tea.
Well, I'm just focused on Bravo right now.
And then, obviously, the Love is Blind finale happened last night.
And friend of show, Crystal Minkoff of the show Humble Brag, also formerly of Beverly Hills Housewives, is turns out a big Love is Blind fan.
And she is going to join us to get into the finale.
Unsurprising, a little sad.
Yeah.
I was crying.
Crying?
You were?
I did, actually, for one of them.
I'm not going to lie.
Which one?
Well, don't reveal.
We'll talk about later, but I also did choke up.
What?
Well, I...
Do I feel anything?
I have a take that I'll say for when we get to it.
Okay.
Okay.
Keep everyone on their toes.
Just don't forget about me.
Well, if you haven't listened to the Going to Your Bear episode with Brooke Schofield, that was yesterday.
And boy, the internet was
responsive.
Responsive.
What a great word.
I love that.
We're going to use that going forward.
Responsive.
They were responsive.
One of my favorite things that several people said, I think we're tapping into a new audience with Brooke.
I think she has obviously different audience than maybe we have.
And so a lot of people, I feel like, were new to our sizzles.
And like, obviously, we make them literally like you are in an IMAX theater 4D trailer for the biggest action package.
Like, are you in a part of the trailer ever?
Or are you part of a true crime documentary?
Exactly.
Yeah.
I think more hype than a documentary.
Either one.
An IMAX 4D thriller action drama.
Every genre possible.
It's Mission Impossible.
And the comments were like, not the serious music for this type of ad.
What is this, the vibe of this, like acting like this is a documentary or like whatever.
It's just.
You're new here.
Marketing 101.
We got the people talking.
We got you responding.
We've triggered you.
I was going to say, thank you for the comment.
Like and subscribe.
Yeah.
I don't know if it's a Gen Z thing.
The internet is very reactive from what I've learned when it comes to Brooke and Tana, for better and for worse.
And that can be a lot on your emotional health.
But especially for all the haters out there,
I am also just selfishly glad that she came on our show and had a really great experience because truly that's what people do is we make people feel seen and heard.
She just also has just a, I mean, and I said this in the interview of like, you can do the most simple task.
You can parallel park in front of a CVS pharmacy.
That's not a simple task.
Okay.
Fair point, Leia.
It is not simple.
Especially in a like, because everyone's honking at you and you're like, what else do you want me to do?
How else do you want me to get into the parking spot?
I have to back up.
That's an awful task, actually.
You're right.
I'm so sorry.
Let me rewind.
She can do a simple task like checking out at the grocery store.
Is that simple?
Yeah, I guess.
Oh my God.
Walking.
She can walk and someone will be like, oh my God, Brooke Schofield ran ran me over with her car.
And she could be like, I haven't driven in 10 years.
Like, what do you mean hit you with my car?
And it's just like, and it will go viral and it will be massive and everyone will believe it as truth.
And I've never seen anything like it.
It's crazy.
So to like have her on the couch and be like, guys, like, I don't know what to do.
I don't know.
She's like, maybe I should just get rid of my phone.
What are some of your favorite comments, Justin?
Not that we ever really do this, but I mean, someone pointed out that they think your jeans are iron and they respect it.
Do you iron your jeans, Nick?
Could y'all imagine?
I do not.
Dry clean?
If in the morning I'm like taking care of River and Nick's like, hold on.
What makes jeans look ironed?
I gotta iron my jeans.
They said it was the pleat.
So apparently you had a pleat in your jeans.
Do you get them dry cleaned?
I can show you what they look like unironed.
What?
How do you know what my husband's jeans look like unironed?
No, I just know what my jeans look like unironed.
I can show you what they look like unironed.
Or I see sexy.
And she said it in like a slow, sexy voice.
voice.
It was a little incident.
Yeah, I can show you what you look like on iron.
Nick, I saw you responding to a comment.
Nick's in the comments.
Yeah, I took a peek to see how people were responding to the dramatic sizzle early on.
And I saw that the most liked, one of the most liked comments was people's displeasure with my existence, which was fun.
Wait, what did you respond?
It's just a red heart.
And it got a lot of applause.
Yeah.
My favorite comment was from YouTube.
It says, Brooke, if it makes you feel any better, I've never heard of you before today, so I don't hate you from youtube yeah people's ability to just be assholes when we're trying to be nice i know astonishing yeah like she's like a like she posts vlogs like all the time why would you say that i don't know it's like kind of up to like clown one of their creators no no it was on
it's like a fan being like yeah it was just on our youtube channel probably a vile files listener who's never heard and just like decided to watch the episode and oh the comment was on youtube yeah it was like a backhanded compliment i thought you were saying youtube itself
commented that
intern who is running that social media account should be fired.
It's kind of like when people are like, you know, I don't, I don't get why everybody hates on Mary.
I think she's all right.
Yeah.
She was our favorite.
I think everybody should go listen.
I think they're going to see Brooke trying to evolve and guess where she's going next.
Period.
We love that for her.
We have a great episode lined up for y'all today.
Becky Robinson.
Yeah, Becky Robinson also joining us.
You know her as the entitled Housewife, making people laugh online since the pandemic.
And she is with us.
So get ready to chuckle for all you men and ladies out there.
She's a real hoot, and we're happy to have her.
Hoot and a holler.
Hoot.
She's a hoot.
Did you guys watch Dancing with the Stars last night?
Of course I did.
Listen, am I the only one who was just like, you think, you think wicked.
You think, what an epic movie, epic franchise.
it swept pop culture with its release but for whatever reason i felt like the dances were kind of boring kind of snooze it kind of felt like people were walking on the dance floor a little bit it just i don't know and i feel so much is tied to the music you know i don't know it just was like starting with danielle fisher it was just it was all nice this is not a note for the individual dancers but i just Maybe the theme didn't pair well with the dance floor.
Maybe I'm crazy.
I don't know.
Maybe it's because I'm not a Broadway kid.
I love Andy.
I felt like Whitney and Alex did great, but I felt like what I loved about their dances was like the acting.
The theatrics of it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then I feel like Elaine Hendrix, her dance, like she won the night for me and just like dance.
Yeah.
Their was probably the most entertaining dance, but it just kind of felt like there was, it, I don't know, when we went last week to dedication night, there was like, I mean, granted, it's dedication night, but like so much of the music choices, you just felt the energy and the dances and you were captivated by just everything.
And this,
it was just, it felt like a, I don't know.
Someone online said that Alex Earle had like, I mean, and I don't know
how much truth there is to this, but that she had like requested, I guess, the popular song.
Okay.
And then they gave it to Whitney.
And people are saying that like, she's like a producer.
Well, I will say, well, first of all, I really liked Alex's dance.
I thought that was a really good dance.
And I think, think, honestly, I think she's doing quite well.
She got the switch, switch, twirl, right?
Yeah.
Well, that was the thing.
It was like Scott came out first, and it was kind of like, oh, and to be fair, because I was like, it's kind of like Disney night, right?
But I'm like, at least Disney night, they kind of get to pick a song or something that like means something to them or like their favorite.
Where I feel like Wicked, it's like.
They don't get to pick.
I was Pinocchio.
Well, I was going to say, okay, maybe.
Sorry.
I was just saying, I feel like Wicked's a little bit harder to, if you aren't a fan of Wicked, to like dance to this music and like not feel, because I was singing along to all of the songs, but like the dances, I kind of do agree with you, Nick, that I feel like they kind of fell short this week.
Granted, the soundtrack to Wicked is incredible, but like you're comparing it to Disney night where they can choose from so many different,
you know, it's like I feel like they were limited and it, yeah, it didn't like hit as well as the rest of the nights have hit.
But they should do a Leonard Bernstein night.
They should do a WNBA night.
They should do a WNBA night.
I think I was thinking of San
They should do.
Let's do a pickup.
They should do an Angel Reese night.
They should.
Get her on Dancing with the Stars.
I bet she'd do great.
She'll be on next season.
Anyways, yeah, I don't know.
Maybe Dylan doing the Ramba.
He's really.
Ramba's definitely one of the better dances.
Isn't it a Ramba?
The Roomba.
Oh, no.
Rumba.
No, no, that's a vacuum.
Yeah, you're right.
I think it's the Ramba.
Is it not?
I think it's the Ramba.
Dancing the Rumba.
Roomba's a vacuum.
Dancing the Rumba.
It's Dylan Ephraim.
Nicely.
His hips were hipping.
His twirls were twirling.
Oh, maybe it is Rumba.
The Roomba is also, it's just like sexy.
Yeah, it's a sexy dance.
Was the Roomba named after the dance?
Or was the dance named after the Roomba?
Because the vacuum does kind of like dance.
Yeah,
probably the latter.
That's crazy.
You know?
But back to.
Have you ever watched it?
It kind of is like...
Back to the alleged drama between Alex and I guess Reddy.
That is the one.
If Dancing with a Star has any drama, which it has very little of,
it will be, you know, the dancers don't get to pick the songs and the producers will,
you know, they will make you dance something that's not your favorite choice.
It's a low-hanging fruit.
So it's definitely possible.
I would believe that rumor, so to speak.
Well, Bruno said about Whitney that he thinks we've discovered a star, which I was like, I wonder in what trajectory he means.
But I was like, I definitely feel like Alex Earl's going to end up on Broadway.
Well, I saw an interview after of them asking Whitney if she'd ever do Broadway.
And she was like, oh my God, of course.
And she's going to work on Whitney Singh.
Literally.
Just the performance aspect of whitney is just so good she's just and then did y'all see connor he was like painted green i mean yeah two of them it they're just committed to the bit they were so they are committed listen whitney is always committed to the bit she doesn't matter what room she's in she is full-on committed to the bit that has always been her strength it doesn't really i was gonna say to be fair she is kind of meant to be a star because she literally like has no shame in the best way like you know what i mean i feel like she just like puts out her personality as is to be cringe is to be free yeah like that's like the most important lesson you can learn
No, but this thing is, it's like we've all been cringe.
We have all had cringe moments and like she leans into them.
Oh yeah.
You're never
bored watching Whitney.
She has climbed cringe mountain and reached the other side.
Even when Mom Talk started, you know, you, you noticed Whitney.
Her facial expressions were always like, why is she having so much fun in this living room with all these women?
Some of them are like just doing the dance.
Yeah.
Whitney was always like.
Whitney's not boring.
No.
no you know who else isn't boring who the thieves who stole from the louvre shout out to them that's like that's that's good work it's real life ocean's 11 real life ocean's 11 like so they they dressed up as construction workers and like the idea of like disguises do you think that they like met up in some sort of like warehouse and like figured out you know they dressed up as construction workers no we don't know that role-playing yes no they do they did so have they they haven't been caught though how do we know here's the thing judging by ocean's 11 rules was there a contortionist construction worker?
I want to know if someone was up in the rafters.
Basically, it says the criminals used a basket or lift to access a window on the scene facing side of the building and used power tools to force their way in.
The whole operation reportedly took four to seven minutes.
Eight priceless jewelry pieces, including items connected to Napoleon Bonaparte, Napoleon III's wife, Empress, and queenly sapphire emerald sets were stolen.
One item, the Emerald Crown.
of Empress Eugene, was recovered outside the museum, but found damaged.
Like, I don't know.
I know that it's a terrible thing.
And like, we don't, we don't steal, but I'm also kind of like, there's something like really badass about this.
Do we hope they not get caught?
It's like, I don't know.
I don't know for them.
It says the two high-security display cases were targeted, and eight of the nine items taken remain unaccounted for, including a tiara and a necklace worn by Queen Marie Emilia.
Emile,
Emily.
No one got hurt.
They stole a bunch of shit that ultimately we don't give a fuck about.
Also was probably stolen in the past.
The thieves forced open a window using an angle grinder and stole jewelry that has sentimental value and is priceless.
Four perpetrators appear to have been involved in the theft who were unarmed, but threatened the guards with the angle grinders.
What is an angle grinder?
I'm going to need to Google this.
I don't know.
But they threatened the guards with an angle grinder.
It does sound a little Lesy.
It does.
It's giving Lez.
Who is it sentimental for?
The French?
Probably somebody owns it, though, right?
And I would argue that they're...
I would argue that the thieves don't think it's priceless.
It's 35 bucks who knew you could get away with millions of dollars of jewelry with a 35 angle grinder
i mean exactly more people should heist if you're gonna steal do a heist but the question i guess is it's like okay now you have these priceless jewels that are obviously like artifacts what do you do with them like are we selling them on the black market no see in the oceans movie they get a jeweler right and then the jeweler is gonna deconstruct
a crooked jeweler they They had Mindy Kaling do it in Ocean Zay.
And then she's going to give them all the little pieces.
And then you go and sell it.
Typically, what actually happens when like art is actually stolen is that you end up finding it like a couple years later in a museum somewhere else.
So like a lot of it ends up going in like the black market trade of art.
And like it makes a lot of money.
Well, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong.
I know that obviously there's archives at a museum, but a lot of art pieces too, it's like they're owned by individuals, right?
And then like given to the museum.
I think it depends.
I think it depends because also a lot of European museums say that they were gifted when they weren't actually gifted.
It's stolen artwork or taken from like colonization.
But that being said, like, yeah, someone does own it, whether it's the institution or it's a person that put it on display.
What's crazy is that the thieves dropped or left behind one item, the crown of Empress Eugene, the wife of Napoleon III.
They just like dropped a crown.
You're like, that's kind of ugly.
So Cinderella.
It features 1,354 diamonds and 56 emeralds.
Like, why are we dropping that?
Why did we leave that behind?
Do you know how pissed I am that I wasn't walking down the street?
Yeah.
But imagine being the person that walked down the street, saw it, and was like a good person and didn't pick it up.
Was like, oh, that's probably from like costume.
Some little kids Halloween costume.
Okay, this is a great, this is a great question of the like, you find $20 on the street.
What do you do?
Or someone's wallet on the street.
What, well, you find a crown with a bunch of diamonds on the street.
What do you do?
Are you turning that in?
Are you like, you know?
This kind of makes me though, like, want to,
and I guess this is obviously like a question for my husband but like invest in emeralds
you know like all they they stole all of these an emerald necklace a pair of emerald earrings like apparently emeralds are just full of history and do we know if there was gold in there too because gold's like yeah what like five times worth what it originally was like nowadays do you know what i learned about gold on a podcast what did you learn
it is indestructible you could melt it yeah but it's yeah you can melt it but it's still gold It's still gold.
You can change its form and it will never lose its shine.
And like, we don't know where gold came from.
Did it come from outer space?
There's like a lot of these theories.
Billions of years from now, whatever happens to this earth and certainly us as humans, gold, the gold on your, the real gold that you're wearing will still be here.
Nuclear bomb goes off.
Gold's still here.
Do you think they're going to release security footage of this?
Oh, how is that only interesting to me?
I I don't have any gold.
Yeah.
If you hear so much about it, then let's get some more gold.
And he's a good investment.
Invest in a gold bar.
They're like $250,000.
A gold bar?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's get some gold bars.
Just hide them in the safe.
It would be kind of ball to have one gold bar at your house.
Thank you.
I think you have to have them stacked in your safe.
That's how I've seen them.
That's going to be a good thing.
By the way, we have nothing of value at our house.
It is dripped to the bones.
This is true.
Unfortunately for me.
I wonder if they'll release security footage of this.
Everything that I've been seeing is like people being like, oh, like going to the Louvre.
And it's like within like a couple hours or whatever of showing up to the Louvre, it's like, oh my God, we're leaving.
And it's like, they thought it was a fire.
They thought something was happening.
And next thing you know, they're like, oh my God, someone stole artworks.
I hope they make a movie out of this.
They will.
100%.
The thing about this, this heist, is that it...
It reads to me as Act One.
Yeah.
You know, they're planning something else.
This was top busy.
What happens is they do this and they're like, that was easy let's go bigger yeah let's steal the declaration of independence
actually that one though i got it steal that one um gen z also so unserious about everything um i think it's like minted there's a website where you resell things and some of the jewelry is on there
it's not real but it's like this is new with
what is gen z gonna do when they turn 40 and realize the world didn't end here's the thing we're not gonna have social security we're not gonna have anything might as well
What do you mean, what?
I feel like Gen Z was raised on this premise that whether it's Mother Earth.
Nick, we just got Gen Z audience.
Or the Social Security.
There's like, there's no point to anything.
And they have this kind of nihilistist, nihilist kind of mentality.
What do you mean?
I actually think they'll be fine because when you're living.
Well, when you're living with the like idea of none of this matters, like I can take risks, like sometimes it works.
I think we're going to eat.
Not that I would know.
I'm a very scared human.
Jumping into into reality recap headlines, did you guys see that Kelly from Atlanta Housewives hired Phaedra Parks to represent her in court?
No, but that's awesome.
Love.
I feel like a lot of people are surprised, but like, isn't Phaedra a practicing lawyer?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It reminded me because, yeah, I mean, when I first saw it, I was like, oh, that makes good TV.
But also, she actually is using Phaedra as representation.
Why does she need a lawyer with
her?
Remember Kelly's ex?
Like, she was in an active lawsuit with her ex.
Yeah.
Was this the one that he was living downstairs?
No, that's that's true that's true no kelly's the one that has um owns the restaurants and she was in yeah the chicken restaurant is this this is giving active lawsuit next season storyline
yeah yeah i think they're actively filming so they are this is like when um sherea used phedra as her lawyer i was gonna say it's like when kim zolziak and candy burrows went on tour together okay
okay okay i was like it reminds me of um heather dubrow when she was like just so you know just because like somebody's a doctor on TV doesn't mean that they're not a doctor in real life talking about Terry.
And I'm like, yeah, Phaedra is a practicing.
Well, I think most people assume that like lawyers or doctors who are on TV, maybe they did it in the past, but they're not necessarily practicing these.
For sure, yeah.
Which I think is often true.
I would let Meredith Marks represent me in court.
Just imagine like Phaedra, her energy she brought to the turret, but like in a courtroom when she's like, objection.
Oh.
I would not kiss your ass for a while.
closing arguments yeah she's one i just want to see the looks the court day looks
yeah
so did you guys see that bravo is doing a new series with heather gay called surviving mormonism i did did you guys know heather gay was mormon yeah one once upon a time i thought this was fake when i saw it kind of seems she's really she's really going after the she's really monetizing going after the church these days good for her yeah well thinking of her evolution because she had what was the first one bad mormon and her second book was good time girl and now it's surviving Mormonism so she's slowly like trying to out the Mormonism part more it's captioned as real stories of secrets and sin the first episode of the three-part limited series surviving Mormonism with Heather Gay premieres November 11th on Bravo with all episodes streaming November 12th on Peacock and Bravo Andy said this is so brave and great in all caps I'm sure it is interesting all the girlies are supporting her in the comments I'm for sure gonna watch it I wonder if they'll have any of the Mormon wives oh
crossover.
Might be.
Do you think probably do that?
They have to be doing some sort of like crossover.
If it's just like a spin-off of Salt Lake City Housewives, it's like.
Yeah.
I don't think it is.
It's giving like a history on
and like people who were robbed by the church.
Bring in Hulu talent for a Bravo Peacock show.
I don't know.
It is interesting, though, Sierra, if you've recognized they haven't done like housewives spin-offs as common as they used to do them back in the day.
Well, because people aren't really like getting married and things.
It was always like a wedding special, like Tamara and Eddie's wedding, or like Candy and her family.
But I feel like there were other things that weren't just weddings, but they like
Tarty for the party.
And it's like recently, like, this is, I guess, a sign of them potentially bringing back the small spin-offs.
Like, Wife Swap is a small spin-off.
Yeah, is it out?
Wife Swap, Angie's just aired.
Yeah, I gotta watch Angie's.
It's gonna be awesome.
Yeah, it actually, we were watching the preview for it.
It looks good.
Yeah, that does look pretty good.
Well, speaking of Angie Katsanavis, we had a Real Housewives in Salt Lake City episode, and we have a rapid recap for it if you missed that episode.
Reeling from the mystery of Soup Man, our heroes, women, face their next roadblock packing for a super yacht.
Lisa acknowledges her communications issues with John may be a little bit because of her, but only a little bit.
Otherwise, she is perfect and has never done anything wrong.
Angie wants to make things better with Mary, so she brings her Yerba Mate as a peace offering, which is very household member Kyle coded.
Oh, Kyle, yes, of course, Kyle.
Hi, Kyle.
Mary says her and Angie aren't sisters anymore because Angie made fun of her farts, but is that not sister behavior?
Also, according to Mary, it was the dog that farted.
And Mary has never made fun of Angie's farts because she is kind at heart.
Anyway, in order for them to be friends again, Mary makes it clear that she will no longer tell Angie when she farts.
It's called boundaries, people.
Then we go to Lisa and Heather, where Suitman clarity is finally given.
Lisa meant suit man, which was just a line pulled out of her ass.
Heather is like, you and Angie are the same person in different fonts.
Give it a rest, Divalina.
Also, Brittany kind of reconnected with her daughter.
And then, big news, Meredith chipped her tooth and bruised her toe, but still decided to wear heels while hiking with Heather.
That's share-level mother behavior.
While hiking, Heather continues to stir the anti-Lisa pot and tells Meredith that Lisa definitely tried to get Angie to dig up dirt on her.
Meredith believes Lisa would do this, but doesn't care, presumably because of the dirt she has on her.
And you know what else is dirty?
Bronwyn's recent identity theft allegations.
Bronwyn claims the case is 10 years old and legally sealed, so she can't talk about it.
But what will she say is that Lisa probably started the rumors.
Overall, what constitutes a super yacht?
Does that insinuate the existence of a poor man's yacht?
Is that not just a boat?
Discuss.
It was a really good episode.
It was awesome.
It was a good episode.
A lot of good layers.
First of all, I absolutely loved Heather confronting Lisa finally.
I just feel like more of that.
And she didn't hold back.
She wasn't like, she was like, no, listen to me.
Even when Lisa like started to cry and get upset and like seemed like she was going to storm out, but she had a couple of things in her hands that she was like, I guess I got to pay for these.
So i'm going to stay here and work
why is also lisa like holding a stack of so much money that's what i'm saying it was kind of
people to hear see it it was pretty cool it was a prop it was the same way with the name dropping and the the event setup being like oh my god and this is for ben and this is for brad i live a different life yeah
yeah i truly don't know people who are as rich as her that still carry cash.
I know a lot of people that still carry cash, especially hundreds.
So I think she is up.
Yeah, but they don't hold it like monopoly money.
She was like like holding it up.
She was like counting it out.
She was like waiting,
waiting for her monocle to arrive.
This was at Justin, but I'm like, it's kind of giving Dorit getting robbed for the second time with a stack of bills in her purse at TJ Man.
Think about it.
They're literally doing a scene.
So like, you know what I'm saying?
Is she actually checking out while doing the scene?
Like, obviously not.
So she's standing by the register just to hold a watt of 100s.
No, call me naive.
They're asking you about if you want to sign up for the credit card.
I'm over here like pausing, counting my money.
Heather's over here telling me I'm a bad friend.
I'm like, hold on, I'm trying to just count my 200s.
Lisa went before filming said scene when they clearly were like, went to a boutique store of a friend and said, hey, can we do a housewife scene?
Lisa went to the bank as if she was going to Vegas and took out $3,000 or whatever it was in $100 bills so she could hold it.
I mean, she was literally be like, do I, are they in the shot?
It was more like 600.
I did count her bills.
Whatever.
I'm not you counting Lisa's money.
Listen, I'm not impressed unless it's a gold bar.
Period.
True.
Key matches.
Those are fresh from the 18th.
I honestly, I can 100% see Lisa like dropping a gold bar on this small mom and pop shop boutique and being like, that'll pay for it.
And it'll also pay for your new extensions and some teeth wiping.
That's a good idea, actually.
I see her like throwing a gold bar at Angie.
Listen.
Anyways, but shout out to Heather for really, you know, standing her ground and not backing down.
I did feel when Lisa wanted to run away, and Heather's like, wait, no, and grabbed her arm.
And I was like, that's a true friend.
Like, that's what we need.
What about what do you want me to say?
It was the same thing that Mary did to Angie when Mary was like, no, cut the, like, the BS.
You both are the issue.
Yeah.
Like, I think they both needed that.
Didn't understand the farts and the dog farting and then Mary farting.
I was like, who's, at the end of the day, who is farting?
But Mary.
Angie is stronger than all of us.
The way that Angie was fighting back laughter, because there was no way that I could have had that conversation seriously with myself.
Swallow moments literally.
Yeah, she was like, yeah, swallow it, swallow it.
She was like, we're doing a scene.
We're doing a scene.
We're doing a scene.
I can't break it.
When she kept going, I was like, there's no way this is what we're really fighting about.
And then they just kept going.
It was the fact that Mary was like, we're not sisters.
And then she was like, you said I farted.
And I was like, that is, you guys are sisters.
I mean, sisters.
And it was really, honestly, like, I have never been so heartwarmed and emotional over a conversation about farts.
Me too.
It was really sweet.
sweet.
I know a lot of people are freaking out over Chris Jenner's recent plastic surgery, and I'm not in any way projecting or making any assumptions, but Heather's glow up, and now he's pointed this out several times from watching it recently.
First of all, she's looking fabulous this season, just like fresh, you know, but her from her chin down,
whatever she's doing, how are people not like just like begging for her routine or surgery?
I don't know what airbrush, what foundation, what body cream, what body lotion, what body blurring foundation, or if maybe that's just her skin in general, but her chest and her titties look immaculate.
It looks like shy.
Like,
like she's in her 20s.
And look at her ITM.
And not to, not to call it any other specific housewife, but when it comes to the ITMs, there are other housewives in some of the outfits they choose where like it's just not as flattering.
And they're seem to be in the same age as Heather, and Heather looks incredible.
Like,
it's unbelievable.
I mean,
I think you guys got to go to Beauty Lab and Laser to find out.
Before we move on from the fart, though, I do think Mary was valid from first time's a joke, second times, like, okay, kind of funny, third, fourth time, okay, now it's rude.
So, I think she was valid for that.
I don't know.
I feel like
now you're embarrassed.
You're shaming her.
Oh, you farted?
Like, you're making fun of her.
Okay, Justin, there are things you make fun of me for all the time.
And I do it once and I let it go.
i don't know about that once and i let it go and i still love you
so bullying is this is a matter of repetition yeah yes yes interesting but nick how did you feel about mary setting up setting boundaries about this you know she was like i'm not gonna tell you when i farted is that is that a good thing from mr asknick guru yeah i mean mary's very good at why but why does she tell people when she farts i don't think she it was confusing too because she was like i told you but then it turned the revisionist part was was like it was the no the dog did it and then you assumed it was me and my part would never be that and then they cut to the dog and the dog was like why am I being brought in the dog was like was it me it was kind of beautiful though to see Mary be like I only have these friendships every 20 years like I don't see the future without you and that's why this is something that like really needs to like yeah be fixed I do love their friendship.
It was also nice to see Brittany and her daughter.
It did feel very much like a scene, you know?
It was very much like, okay, Olivia.
They got into it.
I mean, it was clearly new for her daughter.
I mean, it is new for them.
Olivia did really well.
No.
I thought 100%.
But it just felt, you know, like the first time
we see him, and it's like this heartbreaking, which I guess.
Yeah.
We do have Britney Bateman on next week for an episode of Going Deeper.
You are not going to want to miss.
It was, it was everything I hoped it would be.
She was wonderful.
It's very much what I love about Going Deeper, especially for people like Britney, where
I think what you see in TV isn't the the whole picture of what you see in real life.
And it was just really great to get to know her.
And I think she's really a star.
And I hope you guys check it out next Wednesday.
It was a great episode.
We get into all things, Brittany, her background, her childhood, her relationship with her daughters, and certainly Jared.
That's all next week, Wednesday, on going deeper.
Speaking of getting into history, Bronwyn's recent identity theft allegations, the way that Bravo platforms any rumor about them is crazy.
Like, I feel like we could post on the Vile Files and be like,
oh, Mary did this.
And then it would be like, in the next season, clipped, and it would be a storyline.
Like, the way that they just will take anything at face value and be like, put it in the episode.
Well, I think it's because the girls were talking about it and it's juicy.
So they're like, yeah, we're going to talk about it.
It is a really big headline, too.
Like, I remember when that came out, and everybody was like, first of all, what?
Like, second of all, there's no details.
And that's like a wild, wild
accusation to be labeled.
Rodwyn's response with
It's Sealed is also kind of,
sketchy.
Because she's been with Todd for what, 10 years.
So it's like, obviously, whatever this may or may not be happened over a decade ago.
So to resurface it while she's like married and it make it seem as if it was like current day, like she ran, like she stole a car and identity theft.
Well, I don't like to do that all the time.
It sounds like she was also in college.
And like we know the timeline that she was really young when she left BYU.
So I'm like, even if the reality is Lisa was the one to bring this up, which I don't really think it was, but like, it's like...
It's giving Browen try to get into a bar at 18 with a fake ID and is now being accused of identity theft.
Like something so stupid for sure.
But they're like, yes, headlines of a housewife.
She's going to jail next.
It's kind of, I think she should lean into it.
Like, it's really cool.
I mean, Todd hates it.
Yeah.
Todd is like another reason why you need to not be on this show.
He literally.
The fact that he has to food and she has to bribe him with ice cream to come on camera.
We were actually.
The way that she, sorry, I just noticed this.
The way that when they were eating ice cream and she's talking to him about Lisa or whatever it was, and she gets upset and she starts to cry.
And then she just like is kind of crying, but then also like eating the ice cream.
I was like, this is the most, like watching you on your couch in your darkest days.
like shoveling ice cream while you're crying with your husband.
It was just, it was crazy.
It's a, this is a, Bravo is a very fascinating world.
And we were actually out to dinner with Crystal and her husband Rob the other night, who will be joining us momentarily.
And we were, you know, talking about her experience in Bravo and talking about just like the decision to do the show, to not do the show.
Obviously, Crystal and Rob have a dream life and Crystal like clearly doesn't need it and chose obviously to leave the franchise.
And the Bravo community and specifically the housewives, it's really fascinating for the people who like don't need this shit, right?
I think the best housewives and the most committed housewives and Bravo benefits from the people who like, who need it, who who like rely on this paycheck, who like, you know, get into the weeds.
And Bradwyn is another person who, this is a choice.
And Todd is constantly reminding her, like, we don't need this.
And you're, and I think you are, you're watching the decision-making process between this couple of like, is it really worth it?
I have no doubt it's fun.
Bradwyn gets to like showcase her fashion and be considered, you know, as a, you know, an influencer in the fashion community.
But like, it definitely comes at a significant cost because this world like doesn't around your relationship and your life is on full display and you will be accused of
that's not real or the smallest things will be blown out of proportion and it's a really fascinating world to decide like do i really need this
uh because like for the people who don't it's it's very easy to say this this shit ain't worth it it's just it's what todd was saying when he said look like you can decide to go, but like you already know what's going to happen.
And if you come back, like I can't say I'm not going to be able to do that.
But you're a big girl.
Like I don't need to hear it.
Like own your choices.
Yeah.
I mean, I totally agree with Todd there.
You know, I am excited to see them all in a super yacht because I feel like when they're stuck together for more than two days.
Like where's Lisa going to storm off to?
The ocean.
Downstairs.
Under the sea.
Also, this like below deck crossover, it's going to feel like my favorite episodes of Vanderpump Rules when they would do crossovers with Beverly Hills.
And it's like you would see them as waiters like talking shit about them at the table.
Is this a below deck crossover?
It's a below deck crossover.
It's a below deck down under.
So we're going to see the below deck people working being like, they're fucking killing each other.
And then you're going to see the housewives like running around, storming off, crying.
It's going to be great.
Oh, it's going to be so good.
Well, all right.
Well, our guest is here, Crystal Minkoff.
She is freshly new, a new big fan of Love is Blind.
And she was like, I'm showing up.
She's crashing the party.
Well, obviously, before we do, we'll have some questions about all the Bravo tea floating in the Bravo sphere.
And then we'll get into some Love is Blind with our queen, Crystal Minkoff, who also has a very special announcement about her and Cynthia's show, Humble Brag.
That is all up next.

Crystal, welcome to the show.
Thank you.
Hi.
How are you?
I'm great.
I'm blending in.
I feel very much at home over here.
You look cozy.
You look cute.
Yeah.
Very chic, very, very sweatpant chic mom.
Thank you.
I was thinking about this morning.
I'm like, I'm sort of past the point of needing to dress up for you guys.
Yeah.
Like, I'm just going to roll out of bed and come on over.
And if that's what you look like rolling out of bed, I mean,
thank you.
No, it has to be nice.
Well, we're excited to get into Love is Blind with you.
Obviously, we had the finale last night.
So you're a recent new fan.
You dived into it.
But before we dive into Love is Blind, we obviously were going to pick your brain about all things Bravo for a moment.
Okay.
I was telling the audience that we had dinner with you and Rob the other night, and we were talking a little BTS about Bravo.
But
we couldn't help but notice the new kind of wife swap show out there.
And it does look entertaining, but is it true that you were asked?
Yes, I was.
In fact, they asked me to be episode one.
Who?
It was going to be you instead of Wendy.
It was, no.
It wasn't Wendy.
I'm not going to say who.
Okay.
There was someone else that I knew.
They had told me.
They never said the names, but they were like, they told me the cities.
And then, you know, they were very specific that wife swap they wanted to have elementary school age children.
So it was kind of easy to figure out who it was who.
So yes, they said we wanted to be episode one.
I brought it to Rob.
He said, no.
And then they said, said, no.
I haven't watched it yet, but it looks online that people like love it and kind of made me a little bit like, should I have done it?
But you know, the problem is
the thing is like what Rob says, like, you don't know what the tone is going to be.
And I think Angie's seems, um, from what I'm seeing, super heartfelt, and which is sort of the direction I would have liked to have gone, but you just don't know.
But I have to imagine the ones coming up are going to be more comedy.
Yeah, I was going to say they can't all be heartfelt.
So there's got to, you know.
I don't think they will be based on what I'm saying, you know, who they picked.
So, um, and I don't think they're all going to be flattering either.
I don't think Emilius is going to be the most heartfelt.
Correct.
I don't think they're going to be flattering.
That's exactly.
And that was Rob's thing: was like, they didn't tell us the tone because they said we don't, we're not going to know the tone until we film it, which is reasonable.
Yeah, which is basically like, you know, it depends on what your family.
looks like and how people respond to you.
Like when it's open-ended, it's very much open-ended.
Like if there there are reality TV shows, because of how reality TV works, right?
You know this, Crystal.
Like there are some shows that truly aren't as messy or as risky for some reality TV stars.
And if, in, in those rare cases, you'll hear about it.
You'll be like, this is not what this show is.
This is not our intention.
You know, because if that's what it is, those shows really want you to know because they don't want you to say no for something that's just not something that you have to worry about.
The fact that you got a response is like, well, we'll have to see, you know,
what happens when you show up is like the biggest red flag of like, of, of, of risk-avoidant people.
But it brought up a fascinating discussion that we had at dinner with you, which is, you know, when it comes to reality TV, specifically Bravo, there are people who do it out of curiosity, do it for fun, do it to mix it up.
And then there are people who do it because like they have to.
They need it.
Like the funds that they make from being a Bravo celebrity or just like for some people, they really, you know, they were in the public eye.
Maybe their star faded a little bit and they needed a bit of a bump as opposed to someone like you who kind of like independently successful.
You have your businesses, Rob, obviously, crushing life.
You guys have your thing going on, and it was an opportunity that was presented to you and tried it out.
And, you know, it seemed like from where I stand, that was just kind of like, you know, you guys ultimately just made it a choice where it's just like, you know, it was fun.
It was interesting.
But like, I don't know.
I don't know if I need this shit in my life.
Yeah.
i mean i think as you guys get to know rob even better personally i think he's sort of the non house husband personality um he's game for things i think for this situation i mean we obviously had like us him and i talked about it our family talked about it for him he's like look like we'll be here to support you if you want to do housewives like because we're very much in the background.
And, you know, for him, he doesn't become one of those main house husband characters.
He's like, but this, you know, the way they were filming it, he's like, it's the, I, like I said, I haven't seen a show, but like the women come to the house without me.
And he's like, so we're going to be filming a TV show on our own.
And like, that's, we don't want to do that.
Like we're, we're here to help you.
And so if you went on your own and we, we FaceTimed you or whatever, that's a different show for us.
But like.
they were going to be at the house while I was away.
They have two crews.
So it's happening at the same time.
And he's like, that feels like this is your thing.
It's not our thing.
And that's not really fair to the kids because they don't want to do it.
And so if you're around to like be the buffer, that's, that's one thing.
But they said, this is not really fair.
And we asked them directly, and you know, like Rob told you the story he found on Chat GPT, how do I prevent my parents from forcing me to do another break?
I love it.
They were like, well, you can divorce us, I guess.
But once they kind of laid that down, I wasn't going to push it.
And Rob did say this.
He goes, look, I said, well, this, what if this is my only opportunity?
He goes, if it is, that means the show's not going to do well.
They'll cancel it and you should be happy you didn't do it.
If it's an incredible success, they're going to come back and then we can just, and then now we know what it looks like and we discuss it.
See, that's why you got a winner.
Rob's very reasonable.
Yeah.
He's totally right.
Right.
Like, it's a one or done.
Yeah, exactly.
So.
Have you seen what's going on with Soldier Boy and Candy?
I have, actually.
I can't not see it.
Every time I open my phone, it's like Soldier Boy's ranting It's crazy.
About Candy.
And I'm like, how did they even know each other?
And then I saw Candy receiving it.
I'm assuming she like produced some music with him.
Well, no, no, no, no.
I like went down a rabbit hole last night.
Shocker you.
I know.
So basically what happened is Candy had this guy, Charlie Rocket, who used to be.
Soldier Boy's cameraman on her podcast, Speak On It.
And he, Charlie, said that during the tour he shot for Soulja, he was like in college.
Soulja was also like really young.
This was like, you know, back at like the height of.
during that tour, you know, he hadn't eaten in days.
He wasn't getting his per diem or his paycheck and he wasn't treated properly.
And the real tea that Soljo was pissed about was basically Charlie said, Soljio boy called me into his room.
We're staying at the Bellagio and he wanted to make this really viral video.
He said, come to my room.
I'm about to order some room service.
He orders $1,000 worth of room service.
When he was done, there was so much food left over.
I was excited.
I saw some chicken figures and was like, can I get those?
Because I'm hungry.
I'm really, really hungry.
He hadn't eaten in days.
And he said, yeah, have whatever you want.
And then Soldier Boy got up and he spat on the food.
And it was something that I had never witnessed before.
But I'm very grateful for these moments because it taught me how to never treat people when they worked for me.
And he went on to clarify that he was like, Soldier was just a kid.
Like, he was just a kid, but I had never wanted to kill somebody before in my life.
And then Candy, like, laughed.
Anyway, Soldier then went on Instagram live and said he was going to sue Candy and said, and Candy, fuck you too, you little bald-headed bitch.
Send me the address.
Let me pull up and tell my side of the story.
And later in the live, I guess people were like, not too much on Candy.
And he said, they said not too much on Candy.
Fuck Candy.
Candy then responded on Twitter saying, I heard.
Soldier Boy was cussing me out on his live and said he wanted to pull up.
Well, I would love for you to pull up.
Let's speak on it.
Wow.
So that's what's going on with Candy and Soldier Boy.
She's trying to get him to show up on the podcast again.
Yeah.
Candy, we know Candy is an incredible businesswoman.
So she's like, Yeah, get him on the podcast.
And pull up is like a term for like come to the street.
Yeah, you're going to fight.
Yeah.
Pull up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Come to the street.
Like on site.
Exactly.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's awesome.
So Soldier Boy never denied it.
No.
He did not.
He did deny the Charlie Rocket stuff.
But he's like, that never happened.
But he
focused himself on Candy.
Yeah, which I think he's mad that Candy had Charlie on the podcast and also that she didn't check with him.
But it's like.
But also, like, what is his side of the story?
Like, I am curious.
His side of the story is that never happened.
His side of the story is his father.
What if his side of the story is I got it?
He's very lucky to have this story out.
Because last time I heard he was like bankrupt.
He like filed for bankruptcy, no?
I thought he was dead.
That is a true story.
By the way, they did say when I pitched this story.
It was like one of those like, oh, you know, you hear a rumor like Adam Sandler died.
Adam Sandler's not dead, everybody.
Yeah.
Just keep putting that out there.
Yeah, no, the last time I heard it was like he was, that song made him like so much money.
And then like he went bankrupt, which is, I think, kind of.
Taylor's oldest time.
Yes, exactly.
But so I think this might be revitalize him a little bit.
I'm sure Spotify is hitting, you know.
Exactly.
Doesn't he, he battles on TikTok.
Does he?
Yeah.
Like the, like, where you, like, go against somebody else and like people who are watching give gifts.
They make money off of it.
Like rap battles on TikTok?
Not rap battles on TikTok.
No, no, no.
It's like literally like people compete.
Spencer Pratt did it.
Hit the chat, guys.
Hit the chat.
Yeah.
Dumbledon chats are lion.
Should we do that from the office?
Dubs in the chat.
No.
Nobody's going to give us hearts.
Honestly, it's a really bad look for anybody that
was successful, I feel like, because it's like hand handling.
No, I don't know.
I feel like that's a fall from Grace.
We don't even need it.
Is that like OnlyFans?
No.
No, it's kind of like
works in a different way.
They make a lot of money off of of it, though.
Oh, well, I don't know.
But it's because you're literally asking people that are watching you to give you money by giving gifts.
So it's like almost like, I don't know, tricking, assuming they have no intelligence, that it's like you're still going to be paying to give them this lion.
They're like, it costs that money.
It's gross.
It's like fancy begging.
100%.
100%.
That's not below me.
It's considered internet fanhandling.
Well, speaking of making money, Justin, is it true that there are rumors out there that Bravo is offering Wendy Acefo a whole bag, a whole bag of money
to
air and record and film her entire court proceedings and the whole legal process of her arrest in alleged insurance fraud.
Yeah, I mean, I was reading into it, and I do think we need to take everything with a grain of salt, but like
transition from Candy.
I mean, good transition.
Candy was one of the highest paid housewives at one point.
And the rumor or the statement is that Bravo will make, potentially make Wendy the highest paid housewife by paying her millions to have rights to air the whole situation.
Who knows if it's true.
So crazy.
But if that if there is truth, I mean, Justin, when I first hired you,
your big hot conspiracy theory was that DUIs in Bravo world are something that are sometimes allegedly planned to be monetized.
That was my conspiracy.
I don't know if Crystal thinks that's real, but I just mine wasn't.
You know, that's an interesting thing because I did think about them like, does Bravo, because, you know, the original story was that they pulled Wendy's episode, right, from Wife Soft.
And now they put it back on.
So I'm like, are they initially upset?
Are they like, oh, shit, you know, the people that we pay, this is a mess.
And like, you know, or are they secretly, not so secretly excited about the potential?
I mean, I know that when Karen got out of prison, they filmed all that, right?
I mean, that's, I'm, I would be interested in just watching those moments.
So, and someone that doesn't watch that show, I can see Wendy's being compelling television.
I mean, well, I mean, it makes sense.
Bravo has a bonus structure.
If you give us, we'll give you, you know, it just, it's, it's a weird thing to incentivize crime.
Crime.
Well, I also think Bravo does love a victimless crime in the sense that, I mean, it is insurance companies versus like defrauding the elderly.
Yeah.
So I'm kind of like, it is kind of interesting.
This is the same thing with Teresa Judice.
Like they waited for her to get out of prison to have her back on Real Housewives.
Not to be a buzz, Kel, but when you rip off the insurance company, the
insurance companies don't lose the people paying premiums do.
So just, you know.
Yeah, but I'm like, I'm just like, I just tangentially.
I feel like Bravo would platform somebody in the sense of a victimless crime versus like.
And even like Erica wasn't actually like blamed for it.
It was more so about the earrings or like, did she know?
So I'm like, i kind of feel like they it would be actually kind of interesting i don't know i think if they do pay her and get her court case recorded i'm still really really rooting for my idea bravo to do a full like housewives court show
like judge duty style without sadwives in their court cases there's certainly enough content out there yeah and fade like phaedra's the judge no phaedra could be the judge I'm just saying.
I wonder though, I do think that there are some like legal barriers that like prosecution can put in, like that you cannot benefit financially if you're found guilty.
Like, I do think that there's some kind of thing in there.
Yeah, because it's kind of like, you know, murderers who then like want to write a book and sell, you know, it's like you can't make money off of your crime.
You can't.
Some of them do, though, but that's the thing.
I was curious.
It's a, I don't know how.
I think it's, it's either state by state or like.
Yeah.
I think you, there has to be, it's like a part of whatever deal you make or something like that.
But I don't know.
That would be, I, I just, I have very mixed feelings.
I, it's terrible what happened.
I just feel bad for their children.
Yeah.
I know.
I mean, what were they thinking?
Allegedly.
Allegedly thinking.
I was thinking they needed the money.
Yeah.
Like, then stop buying Chanel.
It's not that difficult.
I'm with you.
A jacket is $25,000.
You don't need to, you don't need to wear that.
Or a jacket is $25.
That's right.
Put a Chanel, you know, necklace on, and you're good.
Get a little iron on.
Yeah.
Call it a day.
I mean, how did you handle just final question before we get into Love is Blind Crystal?
But like, you know, we've heard from other guests in the Bravo sphere that like some housewives can go broke.
I mean, maybe literally, maybe like just figuratively, when it comes to glam, styling, hair, makeup, all those things.
Now, obviously, people can be thrifty.
But how did that work for you?
Did you feel that pressure?
Did you pick and choose when you got glam?
Did you just do it yourself and save a few bucks like what was that like and and and being in that world did you see different people affected by the pressures and the costs of of glam and and styling for their appearances great question i dive deep into it on humble brags episode this week uh because we talk about wendy um but you know there is a pressure.
I remember when I started,
when they officially said, okay, you're the next housewife, I started filming maybe maybe three or four weeks later.
And then suddenly I went into high gear of buying clothes.
And I mean, I borrowed a lot of jewelry.
The good thing about LA is like, there's a lot of that available, which I don't think most cities have.
They don't have access to like loaners and stuff like that.
And because Rob's in the business, I had Mona May pull stuff for me.
I had a lot of my friends pull stuff, but I blew through my salary within a month.
I mean, it costs, you have to pay these people, you know, you glam, like it's not included.
And they know the Bravo knows that you're not going to just go there without makeup because you want to represent yourself well.
When you film for, you know, four months, five days a week, that, that adds up a lot.
I would say, like, if I did like a home shoot, I would do my own makeup and hair because I'm like, about 30 to 50% of what you film doesn't air.
So that's another thing.
So I'd actually track what aired and the clothes I, that didn't make it.
So I'd wear it for the next season.
So I really try to do those things.
But like, I, yes, there is a pressure, but I told Rob, I will not spend a dollar more than what they're paying me.
That was our thing.
It was like, make this kind of experience a financial wash.
But, you know, I would walk in and all the, everyone's wearing like head-to-toe Prada and Gucci all day long.
I'm like, that is a $20,000 outfit.
I'm like, are these girls making that much?
Are they borrowing it?
I had no idea, but there is a pressure because suddenly the audience, they all talk about your wealth.
Suddenly you feel like you need to live up to whatever that was.
No one ever talked about my money before, but now suddenly I have this like everyone talk about your net worth and all these things.
And you want to live up to it.
You want to like impress people.
But then I remember feeling also like, if I go too hard early, I'm going to go broke.
Like you really have to pace yourself.
But I did a lot of borrowing.
I probably bought a few extra bags that I didn't really need.
But since I've stopped, I'll tell you, I've just completely stopped shopping again.
So there is, it does make you spend a lot more money.
My credit card bills were much higher at the time.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Well, before we get into Love is Blind, you guys have a big announcement of an episode of Humble Bragg that drops next Monday.
Do you want to tell the people, Crystal?
Oh, yes.
I'm very excited.
It kind of is celebrating our one-year anniversary, which I can't believe it's been one year, you guys.
I love you all.
We have a very special guest, Academy Award-winning actress,
philanthropist.
She's incredible, Octavia Spencer.
Wow.
And also a big Housewise fan.
She's a massive Housewise fan.
And I didn't, you know, you don't really know who are closeted fans until you do a show like this.
And then your phone starts flooding.
I got random DMs from random celebrities, but it was Octavia.
She goes like, first,
I can't believe they even considered you Rob.
Second, I'm obsessed.
And so she and her friends have watch parties.
She would text me wanting to know the tea every week.
She loves it.
She's such a, she's a super fan of like other Bravo shows, but she's very focused on housewives.
Um, she was super excited to meet Cynthia.
She has a new show on Food Network.
She had Candy on.
Back to Candy.
Let's go.
Uh, but she has her favorites.
She loves, she loved the Garcelle Sutton thing.
She was very bummed about that.
You know, I had to like kind of talk her off the ledge for that one.
But you just never know who is a fan.
So we talk all about it.
We talk about her life and journey and her career.
But we really talk a lot about who she loves on Bravo.
And that's a lot of fun.
It was very cool to have her in the office and meet her.
It was a lot of fun.
So that'll be on Monday.
So be sure to check it out on Humble Brag this coming up Monday.
If you're not subscribing to their show yet, be sure to do that.
All right, let's get into Love is Blind Finale
where nobody, nobody got married.
Yeah,
yeah, married.
It's crazy.
I feel like they usually have one couple against their better judgment get married.
Okay, so I, this is my first season, so I did not know that you go to the altar to say no.
And the way they are meeting with the other moms, I mean,
dagger to the heart.
I, I think I said married, who was it?
and I was like, my literally, my chin was on the floor.
I had no idea that that's how they ended the show, but I thought one would get, I for sure thought Anton and Ali would.
She kind of had me sold too.
The way Allie performed up until the moment she said no.
Oh my God.
Wow.
They usually all do though.
Like even Calabria, you know, like they all are kind of like, I loved you from this very
moment.
My baby.
You look so handsome.
You look beautiful.
beautiful i the way that if i'm about to say no i'm like you as soon as those doors open you'll be like oh my god she yeah fuck she's saying no like you would just know immediately i have to imagine because i'm like i could just kept thinking to myself why they must get bonuses to get to the end how do you why would you do that it's wild it's wild
very convincing producers who are like you know what just do it at the altar just tell them i mean i've told this story several times and there is some truth to it.
It's also, you know, it's a little manipulation by producers, but it's true, which is like, listen, if you go on these shows, they all know that everyone's going has a bit of a like, will I be a star question in their mind?
And whether you are the breaker-upper or the being broken up with, your best moment is your most vulnerable moment, especially on these shows.
And a good producer will remind cast of that.
And it's true.
Like it'll be like the Megan and Jordan breakup.
You know, honestly, I don't like I don't know why they saved that for last because it being on the couch was kind of like as soon as they cut to that scene you're like oh they're breaking up you know no it was so lackluster no you're right I mean they're very convincing when you're in it and you feel like you signed up for there's also like instead of the soft side I mean I've gone through this with other producers they make you feel very nervous and scared like you signed up for this there's a line out the door i've gotten that line of there's million women who want to be here you know you better show up there's also the perfect match of it all there's like hey you know there's the listen there are other couples you don't know how much air time you're going to receive i've gotten that note from producers but it's like listen if you if we if it ends up being boring we may not air it you know and it's kind of like i went through this whole thing to like have it just be erased from existence you know like right which you should be okay with but that ego the whole reason you showed up for for the, you know, everyone knows there's opportunity and money behind getting followers.
And it's just like, you know what?
Fuck it.
I've come this far.
Fuck it.
You know, and I think honestly, it's not that hard to convince people to put on the wedding dress, put on the tuxedo.
And
I'm convinced though.
You're right.
Because I also didn't realize that they didn't show other stories.
Like in my first season watching it.
Right.
And I'm like, oh, there's all these random people there.
So they probably themselves were going through this whole experience and they were totally eliminated from the show.
And probably no matter how hard it was for them in the real time, they're probably so devastated and pissed that they weren't, they didn't, their show wasn't aired.
Turns out Shelly's name is Ali all of a sudden.
Alini.
Alini.
She said it was.
Alini Nikini.
It was the officiant who like, I feel so bad for these people because it's like this.
They, if they do say yes at this altar and they get married, they better have their own wedding.
Do they?
They, they must.
There's just like personal reasons.
I don't know.
But if it were me, I would because like that officiant is someone that Love is Blind hired.
Like they have no connection to this couple.
They are reading lines off of a script and like for all they know it's a real couple.
And also half of the seats empty.
Horrible.
They couldn't even fill them with extras.
They just have a bunch of open seats at your wedding and at least have production get a head count.
It's tough.
It's so shocking people are willing to do the show.
I'm grateful for it.
I love it.
If I were to guess the reason behind that, Chris, the show creator, really wants to be as authentic as possible.
And there's always a question, who will be supportive in your family?
You know, is your family okay with this?
Do they think you're crazy for doing this?
And so the empty seats, I think, plays to that.
Now, I think it's a bit unfair because everyone's family situation is different.
You know, some people like don't have large families.
Some people, you know, have broken families.
Some people, you know, some of the reason for people not having friends and family showing up has nothing to do with the support they're receiving.
We should just remove the empty chairs then.
And like, also, they're springing this on people's family members being like, hey, so your niece is about to get married in two weeks to a man you've never heard of.
Can you be there?
But I think to Nick's point, it's like the empty seats is like.
part of the story.
Yeah, it's not very crazy producing.
It's a choice.
They didn't forget.
It's a choice for sure.
And I also agree.
i don't know if i'd want to see extras there like kb's what's the guy what's his name
edmund's like his mom didn't show up or that made me want to cry that was for that whole wedding i was like that was rough like because we know kb like wants to do like she's works with people she has patience she has love and like just seeing her be like at the end when after she walked away and looked back she was like I knew like that would hurt him.
You want, you just want Edmund to be okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You want them to be okay, but it's also like, I don't know if anybody else felt that way, but the way that the wedding ended and with the like, I love you and whatnot.
Like, I thought that they were going to still continue to date after the fact.
And then when they finally got off the aisle, she was kind of like, all right, well, I wish you well.
And then it was just like, oh.
Well, just him saying like, that was my best shot.
Like, I would never get someone like that.
Like, he was just saying things that I'm like, oh my God, we've all heard this before.
And like I resonated.
Has anyone ever decided like, okay, we're not ready to get married after these two weeks, but maybe we continue our engagement.
We like hang out with our people.
People have definitely tried to date.
I don't think it's ever really worked.
I mean, honestly, the only person it really worked out with for a period of time was Raven, who we famously had on our show.
And at the time, it was our most listened to episode after then she was cheated on later.
What was his name?
I forgot.
But
they legit dated for a period of time, but they broke up.
Yeah, how did they end on their show?
Did they broke up?
I think, I don't know who said no.
One of them said no.
They, they made it to the altar.
It was like, it was a very like heartbreaking ending.
The families were very close.
There was a lot of mutual respect.
It was SK.
SK.
But one of them said no, but they very much kept dating.
And then he had like a whole second girlfriend.
You know, it was a whole, it was a whole thing.
So it has happened and it can happen.
The moment Allie went in her speech, she goes, I have all the information we need to make a decision.
And I i was like oh you're breaking up a little bit yeah yeah perfect match is ready for her oh yeah she was like fantasizing about like the swimsuit she'll be wearing and the way i'm sure this is obviously just i mean he was still doing it but the way he was munching on the snacks and drinking that drink she's like how are you so hungry with a broken heart like i don't like well some people turn to food when they're feeling things well
I mean, but it was just like the way that they edited it where she's literally sitting there being like, he's not healthy.
He doesn't work out as much as he said he did.
He drinks a lot and then it pans to him and he's like shoving the chips and he's
drinking the champagne.
My favorite was him being like, she can't cook.
She can't clean.
She spends too much money, but she does have other qualities that I don't like.
This is why I do my slaughter.
Can you imagine Rob listening to all the shit I don't do?
And then I'm just sitting there eating chips.
Like, it's so rough.
I mean, who would.
I felt bad for Allie.
For Allie?
I felt bad for her.
Why?
Because I've been being pushed for TikTok.
She's very much enjoying the limelight right now.
Like, don't go bad.
No, I've seen that.
Is she TikToking?
Hard.
She is.
Seeing her cry and be like, take this dress off me.
I was like, oh my God.
And then she collapsed to the ground.
No, I felt it.
I felt it for her.
No, I think it's fair.
She lied point blank to Anton's mom in tears, by the way, Justin.
She felt pressured.
I love your son.
I love your son.
I'm going to like,
lie to his mom.
It's like, you know, you're going to go down the aisle.
You're going going to say no.
It's like the least you could do is like not
make his mom have false hope.
Yeah,
she definitely had a producer saying, all right, if you do this, you have a chance at that.
And she was full-on acting.
No, but I have a point.
Like, what's worse?
Lying to a mother on television.
Well, actually, wait, yes.
No, no, no, wait, wait.
Horrible.
The way Justin will like commit to writing for a villain is awesome.
Isn't it?
It makes sense.
Let me have my soapbox.
There's an art to it.
All right, let's hear Justin out.
I felt for Allie because like, she's in two positions.
She either breaks up with Anton to the mother's face on national television, or she just says no at the altar and walks away and looks pretty.
Like, I think you look worse, like, breaking up to the mother.
Like, saying it to the mother's face, I think you get a worse at it than like leaving the altar.
But she didn't have to say all that.
Yeah, she was like, she like, she like teared up.
And she's like, I think now that I have a son, too, I'm like, I like see the pain in the mother's eyes to like watch
my kid up there getting publicly like humanity broken up with.
and it's like 20 minutes ago you told me that you were gonna protect my kid and love my kid for the rest of his life and now you're up here pulling this shit like yeah but by the way she didn't even she wasn't just like like kb at least was like i love you just i'm not the person she's like you are not who i thought you were now that i've seen it like after gushing to the mom like that's rough you guys aren't gonna like my fan edit that i made for allie fan edit because i honestly i saw i think it was anton's sister say like
play it.
Fan edit.
Anton's.
I've never
made a fan edit.
Time to make a fan edit.
I didn't.
It was like, oh, it was like, it was like 1 a.m.
And Justin and I.
Yeah, he's allowed to have a life.
Here's the thing.
It was because I saw Anton's sister say she's a cold, hard, fuck, like, cold hearted fucking bitch.
And I was like,
and I was offended.
Like, I felt it, and I had to make an edit.
She did.
That was tough.
The sister.
Yeah, that was crazy.
The sisters.
But I would have said that.
I would have said that too.
She is ride for your people.
She's a pretty girl.
She's fine.
Too hot to handle.
Perfect match.
Okay, I found it.
I'm gonna just quickly like.
I've never made a fan at it, by the way.
I was just like, felt inspired.
Well, the way that so many people have gone after Nick and I, and you've never made us a fan at it, it says a lot about you.
I think if someone called you a cold-hearted fucking bitch at the altar, I'd be like, you know what?
Justin, it would take you five seconds to find that online.
I have it here.
Ready?
Go.
Yes.
Oh my God.
You got to post this.
I love it.
But you have to make sure that you're in the comments saying this is you.
Fake.
Fake.
I love you.
I don't see tears.
It's the Botox.
There are no tears coming out of her eyes.
That's not true.
It was a little wet.
No.
It does make you feel something.
I saw real tears.
I did make one for KB, but I think it's a little misleading because I used Olivia Rodrigo and it's Traitor, I think, is the song.
I don't think KB's the traitor, but I felt the pain.
Wow.
You know?
For sure.
I think KB just saw him at Edmund, right?
As like his son.
Like, she needed to take care of him.
Yeah.
But she did the same thing.
Like, if she like i get what you guys are saying about like waiting till the end but it's like if you really do care about the person like give them the courtesy of breaking up beforehand listen those tv producers are very good at what they do this was the one i felt like is going to affect him in real in real life like she shouldn't have done this she should have done it without the dress on i was gonna play devil's advocate though it is a tv show and they need people to walk down the aisle what a what a shitty ending of the show if she
at the altar walking with admin and i feel like usually they split.
Yeah, wholeheartedly.
I also did not, my eyes did not well up once during this.
She took one for the team.
She's a hero.
Okay, wait.
Can we talk about
Sparkle?
Sparkle.
Which I think she's so unsparkly to me, like as a person.
I love Jordan.
Jordan was my favorite the whole season.
Jordan's silent crying when he didn't say anything and he just cried.
I was like, oh my God.
Fan edit.
Are you kidding?
The single tier?
Yeah, she's the villain.
Yeah, wait, Justin, why didn't I see the Sparkle Megan?
It was midnight.
We had two hours.
I was like, let's go.
I just found like her whole thing.
Is she like that wealthy?
Why is she acting like she has to be?
I mean, they talk like she is.
I saw somewhere that she's making like 800K a year or something.
I mean, listen, I'm not saying that's not a lot of money.
That's an incredible amount of money.
But if you make 800K a year,
most people, including Sparkle Megan.
develop a certain type of budget.
That could be very wrong.
I saw it on like a random Instagram.
What's crazy to me though is the fact that like she knew all this in the pods.
Like bitch, you know he was a dad.
He told you so many times like life is different when you have kids.
Like you're gonna have to sacrifice a lot.
So like just letting you know and she was like
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
But that's just so and then she like fought to meet Luca.
Remember she like cried and she was like, so I'm not gonna meet him before I walk down the aisle.
And then like you meet him and then you're like, tell Luca I love him or whatever the hell she said.
When he was like, my one regret is introducing her to Luca, I felt that.
That one I felt.
Those were real tears.
Yeah.
That was real.
Yeah.
That was real.
Wait, Chris, we have a question for you about Sparkle Megan.
What kind of car do you think she drives?
She drives a Range Rover.
She already told us.
After all that, it's a Range Rover?
Just tell someone you have a Range Rover.
And I literally guessed that.
the first time she the first episode one of she screams range rover she is screaming all right so she has money while i uh i definitely felt it wanting to protect luca you know as a parent, you're just like, oh my God, introduce you to our kid.
But like, Luca will not remember this moment.
He won't give a shit.
Well, that's not true because it's not a national soldier.
I'm just saying, like, the way Jordan is reacting, and that's how I, like, to be clear, if I were in Jordan's shoes, I would have reacted exactly how he reacted and I would have felt exactly how his felt and I would have.
felt genuine regret for introducing, you know, this person I was dating.
That being said, in reality, it's just not that big of a deal.
Like, you know, it's not.
No, no, no, I don't think that's like your position to tell him that.
Like, clearly, he's very sacred about who he's bringing into his son's life.
But that's like a.
So the fact that he had this woman where he clearly warned her several times of what this life would be like, she then sat there and like begged to meet his son.
She introduces his son.
And then in her breakup speech, she's like, tell Luca I said hi or Luca's amazing, whatever the fuck she said.
And it's like, oh, on a personal level,
she treated it as if it wasn't as sacred as he made it very clear to her that it was i'm just saying i think a lot of parents and as a parent i say this is like there's a it's almost as if like i introduced him to someone i thought was going to be a stepmom and now he'll never see her again and that wasn't fair to luca but he never said that i know he just said i regret introducing her i feel like it's implied I get what you're saying.
I actually just think, I think what you were saying is really, that part was true is that she uh sparkle whatever her name is didn't i know it's like stupid i know it's very catchy with sparkle yeah that it wasn't as important to her and that's why they're not together because that relationship while she's like oh i want to take care of him and raise him be set like she didn't really understand the magnitude of being a parent.
Well, she shouldn't because she's not.
Right.
But to him, that's his whole world.
He clearly is like a guy that works hard.
You know, he has has a lot less money than her.
You know, he's like, whatever, the whole thing.
And she wants her own big life.
And she's like, yeah, I love your kid.
He's so cute.
But it's like, so it's not a big deal.
I do think Megan was between the three women who broke up with the men.
I think she was the most sincere and actually
evaluating the relationship to see if she could marry this guy.
I think like KB early on, Edmund made it very clear: sweet man, great heart, not ready for what I'm looking for.
Allie, I think, knew pretty early on, I can't marry this.
When she asked him about that tequila bottle, and that's as soon as she was like, tequila bottle,
she was immediately out, right?
And I think Megan,
Jordan was a guy who very much wasn't her type, but had obviously a lot of great qualities that like she knew she should want to like, right?
You know, it's just like, hey, it's what, my heart versus my head.
And like, she had never dated a man with a kid before.
She like needed to meet the kid in a way.
Like she, I think she really searched her heart.
And then by the time she got to the end, which was all the more, like she didn't take him to the altar.
I think it was more, more real for her.
And I, knowing how this shit works, she had to fight with producers to like break up with Jordan the way she did.
She had to like flat out refuse.
There were meetings.
People came in.
There were probably several conversations with Sparkle Megan being like, hey, listen, what about this?
And she was like, no, she, she definitely had to put her foot down.
So I knew it was over when she walked into his apartment.
When she saw that Luca had his own room and that there was like a pullout couch was where he slept.
I was like, she's never going to marry this guy.
Because I always say this about, you know, people say, oh, how long, you know, how are you and Rob still together?
You know, it's 23 years or whatever.
I'm like, love is like basic, but it's actually lifestyle.
You have to agree in your, the way you live every day together because if you don't, that's, you're always going to fight about that.
And you're never going to respect the person if you guys can't share the same values of your life and how you live your life every day.
And I'm like, she's, she walked in there.
She's like, I just saw her face because I'd be the same.
I'm like, I'm not living here.
Yeah.
Like I can't live this life.
And so while I do think that she really did love him and she wanted to see if she could make it work and meet the kid and fall in love with the kid or whatever, it was like, she was done at that moment.
You think it was that or the chicken smoothie?
Oh my God.
The chicken smoothie was psycho.
So crazy.
Yeah, but the guy, it's like his life.
So like she didn't like the way, you know, he's like, whatever.
I don't eat, have to eat what you have to eat.
And I understand in his mind, it's as simple as that.
But she's someone that wants to probably travel the world and she's a worldly person and she wants to eat different things.
And that's under, like, that'd be unattractive to me.
If, if a guy was like, I don't want to, if Rob didn't want to like try food from around the world, I would be like, we're out because.
that's that's your lifestyle yeah i don't think it was as much the money as jordan acted like it was and more i'm sure that's like a soft sore spot for him like sure but the way he presented or at least the way it was edited it is if he accepted mediocrity in a way that she did not want because like everything was comfortable and he obviously it was centered around his love for his son and being a dad and obviously that's the one thing he made very clear that he wasn't okay with mediocrity with mediocracy which i totally respect is like being present, being an amazing father, which is paramount and more important than anything else.
But I think you can have your cake and eat it too.
And he just always felt like average was good enough.
And I think she just wanted to hear, whether it was about money or to your point, Crystal, like just like adventurous, like, or just to have a drive, a drive for something, right?
Outs, you know, being, having a drive to be a good parent, you could argue it should be bare minimum.
And like you, you do want a partner that can be passionate.
about something and have a shared mutual interest.
And I think that's where she, she couldn't find that with Jordan.
It also is nuts.
He's like, I want to like watch a movie, you know, and she's like, maybe once a month, like maybe we can do that, but I want to be like out on the town.
It's like that.
Sorry, like you chose a man with a son.
Like he's not going out all the time.
He is at home cooking dinner and watching a movie and going to bed early.
Like that's what his lifestyle is.
He told you in the pods.
So it is frustrating.
I do think too that like part of Megan's attraction to Jordan was that she recently lost her father.
And I think that she felt like there was like a higher, like her dad sent Jordan to her.
And so I think that that swayed her decision very quickly.
And I think that it kind of clouded some of the things that he was saying in the pods about his lifestyle.
Also, like it really seems like Jordan is a good guy with like a high.
with high character.
And I think she, she certainly saw that.
And it wouldn't surprise me as we all have exes who just aren't that, you know, who are a little toxic, who don't make us feel as validated and loved.
And I think she really struggled because I think she saw a great guy, but it wasn't her guy.
Well, especially because the other guy she was going to go with was Mike.
He was like literally toxic central.
I'll never get over his comments about health and diabetes.
Yeah.
He really thought he was the shit.
He did.
Yeah.
He's part of a club.
I thought they were a good match, but then when he like talked to her at that like cowboy bar place whatever i was like this guy this fool looks dumb
wow there is a reunion i think they announced that yeah what yesterday or something like that yeah
what does that look like i'm very excited it's entertaining there's a couple of like um past cast uh audience questions like there's like a performance or two random i hear it's gonna be juicy hopefully not that juicy because we will certainly have some love is bind cast members following the reunion.
So wait.
We have not spoken about the news that came out today.
Tell us more.
Megan has a baby.
Sparkle Megan?
Is this confirmed, though?
I thought this was a rumor.
Sparkle Megan is pregnant, Prego, with child, has a child.
Wait, Us Weekly.
Love is Blind, Sparkle Megan, spotted with Mystery Man and a Baby after season nine finale.
Unconfirmed if this is her man or her baby.
That's Us Weekly.
She was spotted with a baby and a man.
She could have been in line at a Chipotle.
They're well-respected news source.
They did a desperate housewives photo shoot with the real housewives in Salt Lake City.
They know what they're doing.
No, I read that.
I kind of was diving into it this morning because I'm obsessed.
You guys, I'm obsessed with it.
But it looked like, I mean, they filmed the U.S.
Sun.
Oh, and Donald Journalist.
Journalist.
But, you know, they filmed this a year and a half ago.
So I was like, oh, no, it's totally possible.
It says an infant, though.
Like, can you have, like, is infant the right age?
Are mystery man and child in the in the same photograph?
They're also not even, they're also not even in a picture together on this.
It'll make a headline, but it won't necessarily be true.
All right, fine.
You guys need a little too much confirmation.
I'm going to believe it.
I remember when it was during the pandemic, I went running often as I did without a shirt.
And the paparazzi somehow, I don't know, were bored.
So I was living in Venice at the time and they were out.
That was a great shot of me.
And the headline was Nick Vile running nearly naked as if I had decided to go out streaking.
But they weren't wrong.
You're outriding nearly naked.
In a way, for sure.
So one of my favorite headlines.
Once again, that's confirmation and Sparkle Megan as a baby.
That's my tagline today.
Sparkle Megalism.
You know, Crystal, you got to get going.
But
thanks for coming on.
Come back tomorrow.
Watch some more reality TV.
I mean, I'm stuck on it.
It's a true joy to watch the show.
It's like so much fun.
And I can't believe that I get so many, I think, eight seasons.
You need to watch Temptation Island when it comes out.
That sounds horrific.
Right after Age of Attraction.
What is Age of Attraction?
That's our show.
That's our new show that we're hosting on Netflix.
Is it out yet?
Ageless Dating.
2026.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay.
Wait, can I, I'm going to have a lot of things to say about that show when it comes.
I'm very excited.
It's very good.
Thank you guys for having me.
I thrilled.
And I can't wait to come back and watch Humble Brag because I'm going to definitely do.

That's next.
Here is the thing about cleaning products.
We use them every single day on the counters where we prep food, on the floors where our pets and our babies walk.
But here's a question: it's easy to miss because there are so many products out there claiming to be clean or natural, but often they still contain ingredients linked to hormone disruption, skin irritation, and respiratory issues.
And in the U.S., cleaning brands aren't even required to list every ingredient on their labels.

Well, we've heard Natalie rave about skims.
She has, I think, everything they've made.
And that's because they're high quality.

At least make sure that that underwear they're holding on to lasts forever.

Let them know that we have sent you after you place your order select podcast in the survey and select our show in the drop-down menu that follows.
This season on the Kardashians.
Let's do it.
I'm shooting a TV show with the most amazing casts.
I have my podcast.
I think I might move back to New York.
I heard footsteps walk into my room.
What's happening?
Don't you want to see all the craziness?
I'm freaking out.
Some familiar faces are back as boss.
Hero!
It's good TV.
The new season of the Kardashians is now streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus for bundle subscribers, terms apply, new episodes Thursdays.
Becky, welcome to the show.
Thank you so much, guys.
Thanks for having me.
That's good to be with you.
I'm excited.
Yeah, same.
Where should we start?
Your first comedy special.
How did you come up with like there's just so many questions entitled Housewife?
Um, yeah.
It's first special's coming out on Friday.
So exciting.
I'm shitting myself.
Are you?
A little bit.
Yeah.
I'm assuming you've seen it, though.
Yeah.
Do you like it?
You know, when you watch something so many times that you're like, it's not funny anymore.
Yeah.
I'm just editing it.
And like, you know, you're like, use that angle on that face.
No, I'm really excited.
It's,
it was, we turned down all the streamers and like.
ended up making it ourselves.
I paid for it.
I directed it.
I produced it with like an all-female badass team.
And so we got to make it exactly how we wanted.
And it's coming out exactly how we wanted.
And
yeah, I'm really excited.
What made you?
I mean, that's obviously amazing, first of all.
Like, but and the you really obviously must believe in it and believe in yourself.
But like, what was that?
What was that?
What was that?
It's kind of like that thought process of saying, you know, there's these opportunities to work with the streamers.
And I'm sure part of that process is like every streamer has their rules and their way.
And I'm guessing,
you know, while all great, you had a belief in yourself and you were betting on yourself.
Yeah, yeah, I had to.
Yeah, it's kind of, I've always done characters and stuff.
I've like always loved like Sasha Baron Cohen and Eric Andre and stuff.
And for some reason, I've been doing stand-up for about 15 years and characters the whole time too.
But for some reason, there's always been like confusion.
Like, why the characters?
Like, why are you dressing up as a young boy?
Why are you playing like young Hillary Clinton or like anything?
And
I just think, I don't know, we all have a lot of personalities, especially women.
We go through like, you know, a few personalities a month.
A day.
A day.
A day.
Truly a day.
So I just kind of was like,
the only way we can really make this exactly how we want with like half of it is the character, half of it is me as myself.
And then there's like a sketch in the middle.
I'm like ripping through Boston, the streets of Boston on this custom golf cart.
Like past Fenway Park.
It has, this golf cart has like wine racks on it.
Wine bottles are, everything's breaking.
And
yeah, everyone was kind of like, no, especially for your first stand-up special, people have a lot of rules.
And like, it has to be this long.
And like, no, just you or just the character and none of the sketch.
Like, it just, no one definitely would have
put the money up, the amount of money needed to make this scale of a thing.
So since I've, I've kind of been on tour for like the past five years doing this character and all the people that have supported me and like paid to come to the shows, like this is for them.
You know, I was able to make it because of them.
So I was like, I want to give it to them the way they deserve to see it.
So you were rich, were
well,
it's been lucrative.
Like the character was birthed out of like one of my darkest, darkest fucking moments.
And it's, I just never thought like this would have happened.
It just ordinarily, I wouldn't pry about your darkest moment, but like I do want to know how she came to be.
The entitled?
Yes.
I mean, did you guys get a little down in the dumps over the pandemic?
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, sure,
not at all.
Nick was living in Venice.
We had just started.
It's just weird.
Like, I had, um, yeah, I had some, I had some personal highlights during the pandemic.
I was like, oh, no, the world's burning.
It sucks.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
I get that.
Yeah.
Nick's just like, stop on a pair of roller skates.
What are you guys so mad about?
I knew the world was burning, but I was like, I keep, it's just like, I don't, everything.
Like, I'm having a good time.
I'm cozy.
I got immune to weed.
I got a pants.
I would say I got immune to booze, but no.
Yeah, I was doing like the morning Merlot.
Yep.
Like, the morning Merlot is that's tough.
Yeah, it's tough on the teeth.
Yeah.
Like,
we couldn't, we weren't supposed to leave, but like, if God forbid you walk out of here, you're like, your teeth are brown.
You know, you're like, yeah, I've tied one on this morning.
You used to call that George Washington teeth.
Yes.
When it looks wooden.
Yes.
Of course.
Yes.
So the pandemic hit and like, you know, I'm used to doing stand-up every night and performing and having that outlet.
And
I grew up in tough cul-de-sac outside of war-torn Portland.
My sister and my parents still live up there.
And my sister is an ER nurse.
And so she was like, you should probably come home.
I don't know if mom and dad are going to survive this.
They're both kind of like high-risk.
Dad's large man.
And
so I went up to Oregon and I was like, helping my sister out for a bit.
Just like, you know, she was like, I could die, whatever.
there was like no ppe remember it was like yes dark times in the hospitals there and uh i was kind of helping her for a little bit and then i started spiraling and like drinking every day i cut bangs on instagram live wow it got dark
were they even no
they were like tanya harding like that was a wild time i i also shaved my head it was like you know what it why not i gave myself layers you did yeah i think it worked out but like there's no one to judge it so yeah
layers are fairly safe
you can buck them up and they still kind of look okay yeah just meld them in a little bit yeah yeah and so i kind of i eventually got like really really down and like drinking to the point of like oof this is like kind of scary and my sister was like i've got patients to take care of i can't deal with you as well like you should go to go to mom and dad's and so she like shoveled me out over there And I went to my parents and they were just having the time of their lives.
They were like, this golf is all we have.
And my dad was golfing three times a day.
And like he was, instead of wearing a mask, he was wearing a golf glove on both hands.
And my mom was like, fuck this.
I don't want to stay inside.
I want to go to the thirsty lion and have a white claw with girls.
And so she's had a lot of health issues herself.
She's like breast cancer and a brain tumor.
So she gets turned off half a claw.
And she was just like, she did.
Yeah.
And so I was watching them and I was just like, you guys are out of your damn minds.
And it just kind of inspired this thing.
I had packed a bunch of wigs to go up to Oregon anyways.
And because I knew I might have like a mental breakdown.
And then just in case, let's see, you know, let's bring some toys.
And, and they left the house.
And one day I just like, I put this bob wig on and I went to their closet and I found a polo and a skirt and a visor and my dad's Oakleys and I threw on the AirPods and I just looked in the mirror and it was like, I just started improvising and it was, I was like, Scott, I started yelling at a husband I don't have and these two fake kids, Dashel and Maccabee.
And I truly laughed for the first time in like months.
And I started filming myself because I am a bit of a narcissist at the end of the day.
And I was like, maybe I should put this online.
And I thought, no, you can't do that.
It's dark times.
And I took an edible and I was like, fuck it.
That's what that says.
Give me all the power.
I was like, if it made me laugh, maybe it'll make.
I showed my sister and she was like, I think it's funny.
And I posted the first video and it just like blew up.
And I just never, I always slept.
Like Chris Pratt DM'd me and was like, if you're making a movie, I'm playing your husband.
And so now we've been working on a movie and it just has like turned into this amazing thing.
And so, yeah.
After that she was she was birthed and it kind of like birthed this whole like entitled sphere during during this manic episode and i don't know people have just latched onto it and made them laugh and i don't know yeah housewives and just women i've met so many amazing women now like just internationally like even in dublin and yeah it's just been this amazing thing That's one of my favorite parts of your stand-up special actually is the panning to the audience.
Yeah.
And it's being like, everyone's got a wig.
Everyone gets dressed, ready to go.
Yeah.
Everyone brought all their wigs to Portland.
Yeah, everyone.
Yeah, everyone comes dressed as the character, which is really fun.
Like our first tour date, we didn't know what was going to happen and it was just unhinged.
Like
visors descending on the cities and like, yeah, we have to call 911 at like a lot of the shows just because, you know, it's like it's like a multi-generational thing too, which has been really beautiful.
Like a grandma will bring her daughter.
And they're like, this is the only thing we get along about is your character.
And they'll come, but then like the grandma will get too lit or or like she'll take an edible for the first time or like some mushrooms you know and fall down the stairs and
so
it's been a wild fun thing but i think the show also just gives like they're they're like girls night out like gives people the permission to just be like we're getting fucking like i feel like you have raised the um
like cost of visors like i feel like they were definitely no one was buying them yeah but 20 bucks we were very confused honestly of why they were invented in the first place for sure never a good look it does it doesn't really make a lot of sense because you can still see the man's bald spot you know and i feel like that's what we're using it to cover it up with accentuates it it does it really accentuates it it's it's like a nice corset for the bald spot it is yeah
not a corset has your golf game gotten better it's a tree skirt um
it has i always was like golf is too serious my dad is like a huge golfer like played in college and kind of just like takes it very seriously and is like we don't drink and i was like you know no dad uh yeah dad this is
because it's such an unpredictable game when you suck or or you're good but yeah i've like fully joined a country club i like play all the time i it's really good for the mental state yeah even my dad was a golf pro for like my his whole marriage with my mom and it's really why they got a divorce because she was like you've moved us to every state trying to be a pro golfer like we've got to stop yeah um and at one point he was the the 11th longest drive hitter in the world.
Wow.
He's strong.
How is Scott doing?
Oh, Scott, you know, he's on the decline.
Isn't he?
He loses everything.
He doesn't listen.
You know, he's just a man.
Have you pulled any inspiration from some of your reality TV housewives?
You know, I don't watch a lot of reality TV.
So funny, though.
You're like...
Did Katie tell you that I did a cameo on your season of The Bachelor?
Yeah, someone told me that.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was your season um i think it yeah it was um
did you guys do a thing where you acted out breaking up yes okay yeah i was the like act the trained actor that came in to act out for you guys how to do that that's when i got punched in the face yes you got punched in the face yeah
whoa whoa well slapped slapped yeah yeah
and i they didn't they didn't tell me and she wound the up and it yeah i heard a crack i honestly thought she broke my jaw.
Was there words leading up to that, or did you just begin with a slap?
I don't think this is
they all had to like fake break up with me.
Yeah, how did you get the call to do that?
Yeah, my friend was like a friend of the producers, and he was like, What are you doing?
And I was like, Nothing, nothing
like living in West Hollywood, and I was like, Yeah, I'm right down the street.
And so we did it.
And I just remember it, like, I had, I had been on a couple TV shows since, I i mean i was on wild and out like you know nothing my parents were very pretty love they were like really you're gonna be a battle rapper love
that honestly that was my show oh really that was my show that's alabama
yeah love me some wild and out which watch all the clips on youtube because i didn't have oh my gosh for cable or whatever it was on yeah yeah matt rife and i were like we were on in the same season and uh and then but that small thing i was on an episode of that it was like 10 seconds long.
And everyone from home was like, you've made it.
This is seriously it.
Like, you're fucking famous.
People are posting pictures of you and them in like high school and being like,
we were bestie.
I knew her.
Yeah.
And the girl I was living with at the time was trying to get on the bachelor.
So it was huge for her.
A dream of mine would have been to be a wild and out girl.
Just one of the ones who was like fair, standing there.
I was like, you guys are just so hot.
Like, you wanted to be a groupie?
No, no, no.
They had like their own, like, it was kind of like ring girls, girls you know it was like their own version of that i don't i wouldn't call them a groupie they were they was a drama
they were employees so it was sag
thank you did you stay for the whole date did you watch
after you performed i remember at first being like he's tall i didn't know you were like nine feet tall yeah and you know there's a real celeb factor to that you know yeah i is was is it still your bio his bio for a long time on instagram was taller in person yeah because that would be the first thing people would say to me Yeah.
Very creative.
And then, because I always like when someone says that, I was like, oh, so you thought I was uglier.
And I'll be like, that's a nice way of people saying you're better looking than I thought.
Yeah.
Wow, you were a taller in person.
Like, oh, I wasn't a fan.
Is that tall?
Or what does that mean if a lot of people say to me, you're shorter in person?
I think it's different with women.
Totally.
Totally.
You align that with being hotter.
So I'm a child.
For men.
For men.
So you were a lesbian for a while.
Do you want to talk about that?
That's what happened during the pandemic.
Not anymore.
No.
Well,
never know.
Don't see you.
No, it's very like opposite.
Yeah, I don't know.
We had so much time during the pandemic.
I was like, why not?
Right.
You're like, might as well try out everything.
Yeah, I've got all the time to listen to this, this woman's stories.
And
I don't know.
It was, I never, I mean, I did a lot of sports growing up, but I was never like, I'm for sure, buy.
And then I just like got a crush on this like girl.
We were like at a bachelorette together, and I was like, everyone's so loud at bachelorettes.
And she was like, quiet.
You were like, she's mysterious.
Yeah.
See, that's no more.
The mystery.
The mystery.
Yeah, it never ends with a look.
It starts with the look, right, Mary?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Turns out she was just fucking quiet.
Yeah.
There's like nothing there.
She just didn't speak often.
But it was, yeah.
So we dated for three years.
We lived together.
And
I know, yeah, yeah, that happened way too fast, as they say.
What was the timeline of the living together
pretty quick, yeah, yeah, her idea or yours, hers?
Because she was like, You got recruited, yeah,
and I was petrified, she's like, This is what we do: the sad card and the gay card, yeah, yes, yeah, but I was like kind of on tour at that point, non-stop, also, so I was gone a lot.
But then going home, I'd be like, ooh,
I would like wait at the airport a bit longer because I was like, I don't want to go home.
Oh, you know about that life.
What's that?
Like being just staying at the gym because you just didn't want to go home.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've been in relationships where I was about to walk in the door and I was just like, yeah.
Here we go.
There we go.
I like to think that you got to the door and you're like, fuck, I forgot the grocery.
You hang out at the gym and you sit in the car in the driveway for a little bit.
That's so funny.
And you stop at the door.
You eat in the car.
Yeah.
Embrace yourself.
We just were polar opposites.
And there's so many people that are like, that's what makes it perfect.
Yeah.
And I was like, in some cases, yeah, but like, I don't know, not for maybe just like also being two women.
I don't know.
She was just very healthy.
Not for the little stuff.
Not for the little.
She was so healthy.
She's like vegan.
And I was like, I'm a Taco Bell gal, you know?
And so it's just like, we're like, what do you want me to make for dinner?
Fucking bark chips.
Your diets have to be fairly similar.
Yeah.
The content you like your day-to-day entertainment needs to be fairly similar.
You have to, you can't negotiate TV shows and dinner every fucking day.
Yeah.
The food just became such a big thing that I like, I immediately, I was like, I'm the fat dad.
Like, I'm the fat father in the relationship.
Cause my dad used to like eat McDonald's before dinner and shove it under his car seat.
He'd be like, dad, can I clean your car?
And then we'd find it.
And we'd be like,
I'd be like, now I'm Steve-O.
I did that in elementary school.
I used to like hide sandwiches I didn't like.
I did that too when I was a bad person.
And then one time, and then like got garbage bag and I hid it under my bed.
And then, like, it was like got real gross.
Oh, yeah.
I did that too as a kid, and I got caught.
It was her rice-a-roni.
I would stuff it in.
Like,
I would never touch bologna.
Yeah,
a bologna sandwich?
No, fuck right off.
I actually just saw someone on TikTok.
I guess their like teenage daughter wouldn't clean her room.
So they made like homemade rice poop, which just looked to be like black rice.
Oh, my God.
And like sprinkled it around in their room.
And then she's like filming her and she's like, oh my God, what is that over there?
It's a rat poop.
And the girl's like,
Well, you do it clean your room.
So, yeah, you've got rats.
And not only rats, shit, but also shit.
The biggest difference between dating a man and dating a woman: the
mind, like the intuition, the smarts, the
caring.
Did you get away with more dating a man?
Yo, everything, yeah.
That was the reason I was like, I need like a simpleton.
Like, I need a guy named Spencer that's just gonna fucking sit there.
I was literally like, I want someone to treat me poorly.
Someone who doesn't want to ask about how I'm feeling today.
Yeah.
And she would look at me and she'd be like, Your energy's off.
And I'd be like, I can't do this.
You know,
no, it's truly.
I just
was such a good person.
Right.
But that was hard too.
Cause I was like, now I have to be extra bad.
Right.
Because I can't, I can't live up to that.
So
I just missed.
And like, I don't know.
And you should become such like friends that it was like sexual.
You know, I respect you too much.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It feels like a working relationship, you know, like it feels wrong.
Yeah.
And there was so much hard, like we both, we both got Teslas and I was like, between the Teslas and the vibrators, all I'm doing is plugging shit in.
Like, I'm exhausted.
And it's like, I, you remember to plug in the vibrator, but not your Tesla.
And now you're pissed because you can't drive anywhere the next day.
You can't drive
in your house.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I actually was thinking about that this morning.
I was because Nick and I share a car.
And
where I thought this was going.
Yeah.
Nick and I share a car.
We share a car.
And I was running late this morning to my doctor's appointment and had no gas.
And I was thinking, like, the fact that he did not.
I got a text.
The car has no gas.
I ignored it.
No, he didn't.
And you know, and you know how I sent that text?
Siri, send a text to hubby art and heart emoji.
I have no gas.
I don't see a a hubby in your context.
Oh.
There's no hubby in your contacts.
Siri roasting you right now.
Sorry.
Siri literally just roasted you.
That's crazy.
You're like, well, I'm a lonely bitch.
Yeah, no, but I was thinking, like, if we had a Tesla, we would never remember to plug that bitch in.
Oh, yeah.
Like, we would constantly be like, it's dead.
Oh, my God.
There's no, yeah, we can't.
We can't.
We're stuck looking like an Uber black excellent.
The amount of times Nick just like moseys into like next to my desk and he's like, hey, my phone's at 2%.
I need to be able to get home.
Can I plug my phone in?
Yeah.
Could never be dating a man.
Do you have to?
Plugging in my phone is a chore.
Like, it's up there with drinking water.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Drinking water.
What's crazy is Nick doesn't plug his phone in at night.
That's I don't do that either.
Isn't that crazy?
It is a.
It's hard work.
There are some small things that make no sense that in my brain, I'm like, I just, I'm going to procrastinate this shit.
Is that because you like, you have to have it right next to you when you sleep or just because you're like,
there's a part of me that also likes to see, you know, it's like, you know how like there's a Seinfeld episode about this, like the gas gauge?
Like, how far can you go on empty?
There's a little bit of that.
And I think in a lot of men.
Damn.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I think there's some psycho, some deep-rooted childhood.
The opposite is deep-rooted in us because whether we're with a man or not, we know that we're going to have to, you know, do that for you as well.
Exactly.
So we're like, we better not.
No, I have placed a charger right by on his nights, too.
Yeah, no, it's, I would say once a week I plug in it at night.
And there's a charger right now.
That's the bliss of the new phone, though.
You know, you don't have to charge it for a couple of days.
Really?
I feel like if I don't plug my phone in at night, like, I'll miss an alarm and then something serious happens.
And
like one time of that, and you're like,
well, I'm the one who sets the alarms every night.
And I'm also the one who has like the banana on our baby.
We wake up.
We have a daughter.
So like, not like a get up alarm, like house alarm.
Yeah, yeah, house alarms.
I'm in charge of setting it, and I have the worst intruder syndrome.
So I am like on that shit, like nobody's business.
And we put like the, we have sliding doors.
We put like the poles up.
Yeah.
You know, that's good.
We're like really in it.
Where's where?
What were we talking about?
Why would I get into that?
Plugging in phones.
Just men and women.
Yeah.
You should probably get him one of those like mag safe ones where you just like plop it down.
I think he probably find a way not to to use it.
He would have.
Yeah.
He would set it beside it, just like he does the hamper, the clothes.
There's a hamper.
Put it in the hamper.
No.
Yeah, that was the other thing.
I feel like whether or not you,
how similar you are, like every relationship has a lazy piece of shit and like an obsessive, compulsive, clean animal, you know?
Right.
Like just you kind of fall into those.
And
in my, like, I've always been the clean one, except when I dated a woman, like, I would clean the dishes and she'd be bad.
That would make you scrape shit.
Yeah.
And I'd be like, okay, I'm filth.
I'm trying to lean into it.
Yeah.
And then you lean into it and you're like, I guess I don't have to clean anything up.
So why, you know?
So I kind of get it.
Anything you're most nervous about releasing this stand-up?
No, nothing.
I mean, I put
so much money into it.
Yeah.
Just like.
I jokingly was like to my dog this morning.
I was like, better be prepared to not have wet food for a while.
Yeah.
It'll be kibble only.
It It was a, yeah, it was a big one.
Sacrifices will be made.
And it will be with you.
Starting with you.
Starting with you, sweetie.
You little mutton.
You little designer golden doodle fuck.
Not going to get groomed for maybe two months.
Don't madden.
Okay.
Go mad.
I think you're going to be okay.
You got Chris Pratt, you're mate.
Truly.
I hope so.
I'm just, I hope people like it.
I, it was so fun making it.
And I do kind of feel like the more you, you trust your gut and you're like, I believe in this.
And like, even I took a risk on like the lighting people came from the music industry they like worked with billie eilish and my female producers were like
this isn't normal for a stand-up special and i was like that's what i want yeah i want it to be different i want it to look like because the show is a big party and and so and then after they were like that was the move like this is sick and so yeah i hope people just like it and i hope i don't know i yeah I think it's going to be great.
And I think the best comedy is one, obviously, like that is relatable for the masses.
And the entitled Housewife, I think, you know, is that just relatable to everyone and obviously women but men and specifically because like you know also in men because like we are i think pandemic yeah till now has created a bunch of like
we we become a we everyone's a narcissist but like you know it's like so are we and you know we all become these entitled kind of self-serving pieces of shit and like i think you you know your character is a very funny way of looking in the mirror about kind of like how ridiculous we all are at times and uh i think that's it's own it Yeah.
And
it's a fun,
you offer a fun way to laugh at ourselves.
And I think that's the best kind of comedy.
I try.
I try.
You know?
Yeah, it's funny because a lot of the men come to the show and they're like, I'm Scott.
Yeah.
And they like lean into it too.
They're like, yeah, I'm a piece of shit.
Well, if they don't know already, where can people enjoy your comedy special that comes out this Friday?
So it's going to be at entitled.beckyrobinsonthegreat.com.
And you just stream it.
And I don't know when this comes out, but if you pre-order it or if you get it once it's out, we shot a documentary.
It comes out tomorrow.
So
for people listening.
Yeah.
We shot a documentary leading up to shooting it.
Just in like all the anxiety and stuff that comes, there's like a tour date.
We all got norovirus.
It was like running off stage, changing to the character and like throwing up and
just going back out on stage and like pussy popping.
As you do.
As you do.
