Speaker 1 Well, yeah, things and tricks are good um really enjoying this chaotic orange county amsterdam trip i am really bracing for next week i think it's gonna be i think it's gonna be a next one or not next a rough one i think it's gonna be a rough one for us

Speaker 1 bravo people because i think that it's people are gonna be angry and i think it's gonna be i think it's gonna be a wild time next thursday in orange county land and internet land so i'm getting ready for it how are you doing

Speaker 1 good

Speaker 1 I'm good. My niece and sister have stolen town.
So I went to another concert with them last night. They're concert heads.
I don't know what you call that. They like going to a lot of concerts.

Speaker 1 So last night I went to see Aiden Bissett. He's so cute.

Speaker 1 His name is Aiden Bissette. Some singer.
Is he related to Jaclyn?

Speaker 1 That's exactly what I thought. I was like,

Speaker 1 I'll go see a Bissette.

Speaker 1 Unfortunately, he did not have the 80s, you know, haircut, soap offer haircut, which I needed.

Speaker 1 But you know, it was cute. Lots of screaming.
There's lots of screaming girls. You know how it goes.
About to say that he played against all odds.

Speaker 1 That would be perfect.

Speaker 1 Wasn't she in there? No. But I felt, you know, it was like an old feeling.
I was just like some creepy guy. I was like, this is standing room.
Don't you have any chairs?

Speaker 1 I asked the guy, can I sit over there? He's like, that's for ADA. I was like, can I just fake it? Like, half of those chairs are empty.
Come on. My back hurts.
I'm old. Does that count for anything?

Speaker 1 But it didn't. So I just found every place to lean in the Fonda theater that I could possibly find to lean.

Speaker 1 You should have been like, hey, hey, excuse me, I've played, I played here before. Can I just go back to you and sit on one of those sofas?

Speaker 1 I totally would have pulled that card and it would have failed immensely. I don't think they cared that we played there before.

Speaker 1 I was leaning on the bar. Then I went to lean on a standing room, you know, anywhere there was to lean, I was leaning on.
And then I realized, oh, there's a smoking section.

Speaker 1 I can sit on the curb of the smoking section. So I went out there and did that for a while.
Talked to some lovely kids from England. Pretty cute.
They love a bassette.

Speaker 1 And then I came home and watched Orange County and I was like, holy moly, mother of cannolis.

Speaker 1 That's where the trans, the trans like, the anti-trans likes are coming in, people. They're coming in.
I really, I really did not think this was going to actually be part of the season.

Speaker 1 And I think that like all season long, people have been giving Heather shit. Like, oh, Heather, just being, you know, know, buddy-buddy with Gretchen.

Speaker 1 Heather, who has a trans, a trans child, is being buddy-buddy with Gretchen, who liked all sorts of problematic social media posts about that stuff.

Speaker 1 And I thought it was just like something that was on our, like our side of the show, as in like on the internet, but not on the show.

Speaker 1 And to see that, that's where it's actually headed for the finale and watching Heather yell at Gretchen, I was like, oh my God,

Speaker 1 this is, this is going to be, this is going to be a wild one. And I was also so mad by that button.
Here's why I'm mad about that button.

Speaker 1 Because, you know, in the ongoing wars of Gretchen and Tamara, the wars of attrition, I honestly was like, well, we're going to get to it, but I have a lot of opinions. But

Speaker 1 my

Speaker 1 overriding opinion before we headed into that final segment with Gina sitting in a hotel room going, I feel me.

Speaker 1 I knew me.

Speaker 1 I knew me, I know this stuff. I've been sitting on for three weeks.
I've decided I'm not going to say anything until like it's like appropriate now on this trip. But

Speaker 1 is that like, gosh, Tamara is so good at her bullshit. Like, it's crazy.
Tamara

Speaker 1 doing like Gretchen has this petty, stupid moment with the boy band stuff, right? Where she says that Tamara had an affair. It was bad.
It was. Gretchen should not have done it.

Speaker 1 They just broke her to piece. This was bad on Gretchen, bad Gretchen.
She was wrong. We all agree she was wrong for doing this and she blatantly lied.

Speaker 1 her credibility is in the toilet but then tamara has been running with it and being like this is what she's been doing to me for 12 years how am i even specific

Speaker 1 i can't even listen to i can't

Speaker 1 it's a visage it's presentational

Speaker 1 you're the one who started all this in the beginning like tamara started all of this 12 years ago did you get the back sake You were the guy called me up late at night and said you were cheating on Jeff with him.

Speaker 1 Like all the way back then, Tamara has been tormenting Gretchen. And then Tamara now takes this little inch and now has been just using it.
And now she is going to, she is going to triumph once again.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Well, Gretchen fucking deserves it.
You know, sometimes you just, you don't really care which witch gets hit by the house. At some point, it's just like, they got one.

Speaker 1 Well, I guess what I was you have to take what you got one, I guess.

Speaker 1 I guess what I was saying is I was upset because I was going to get all righteous about that and be like, this is classic Tamra.

Speaker 1 And like, yeah, Gretchen, Gretchen has all sorts of issues with the truth. But in this case, Tamra is bullshit.
And I'm a little bit more on Team Gretchen.

Speaker 1 And then, of course, they come in with this last segment. You're like, well, no, I guess I'm not.
I guess I'm not Team Gretchen after all. I forgot about that part.
Well, yeah. I mean,

Speaker 1 I already went off on Gretchen earlier this season about this stuff.

Speaker 1 And I, too, am shocked that they're bringing it on the show because I was going off thinking, oh, they would never bring this on the show.

Speaker 1 And, but I'm not going to be tricked into liking Gretchen after some of those hateful.

Speaker 1 that hateful bullshit she has online you know so it's not so much liking gretchen it's more like i sort of do like a separation of church and state when it comes to watching the housewives sometimes where it's like there's the bullshit the problematic bullshit that they get into off camera and then there's the bullshit they get to on into on camera and i try to kind of just be like this is just i'm gonna just like go with what the show is presenting to me as just like a viewer i try don't always succeed but now it's like oh that bullshit off camera is on the show so it's like it can't really you know turn a blind eye yeah i just get mad when it comes out you know because i'm different i read a lot more of this crap online too.

Speaker 1 I'm a lot more obsessed with that stuff than you are in general. I'm just that kind of person.
So I'm already, I've already been pissed. So I'm like, oh my God, what are we watching last season?

Speaker 1 You know, because I've like calmed down a little bit because I've already gotten so pissed. So I'm like, what is this? A repeat? But no, it's not.
It's fresh. So let's get in.

Speaker 1 And, you know, and it came at a time also where the show is really just struggling. I mean, at this point, they have nothing to fight about.

Speaker 1 They are trying, Emily and Gina are just working overtime, trying to start fights every two seconds. They're so stupid.
They're so misplaced. These two need to get a life, you know?

Speaker 1 And so the whole episode, I'm just so frustrated with Gina and Emily. Like, you guys are killing this show.
Just relax and let things happen naturally.

Speaker 1 And if it's not a fight, then it'll be something else entertaining, but you don't have to try so hard. It's so fucking frustrating.
And then

Speaker 1 boom, you know, this is how that ends. So I guess that'll take us through to the rest of the season.
So I don't know. I think it's a mix of a lot of things.

Speaker 1 It's A, don't piss off Tamara because you know she's had that in her,

Speaker 1 she's had that in her arsenal for a while. All of them have had this in their arsenal for a while.
It's not like just a few people were reading it on Instagram.

Speaker 1 This has been all over the place for a long time. So,

Speaker 1 you know, I think it's a mixture of that and the producers being like, we've got nothing. All right, bring it out.
Bring out the tweets. Dung, dung.
Well, because they ran Katie off the show.

Speaker 1 They ran their central storyline off the show.

Speaker 1 And now they are just kind of like, they're just kind of like they're they're trying to like treading water like let's see if we can get like let's see if we can get a shannon and tamara feud to go but that one really hasn't quite it just hasn't taken off i mean shannon is i don't know what's going on with shannon this season she's like a little in her own box doing wacky things and she's not really she's not really popping and it's just crazy because she had such a strong season last year and she has such a strong season on love love hotel coming into the season and then this season happened and she's just sort of kind of flopping a bit which is shocking for Shannon.

Speaker 1 And they just, yeah, they're not. I blame Emily and Gina.
I think they kind of win the season. I just, I find that to be easier.
You know, the same thing happens on tax day.

Speaker 1 It's time to pay the taxes. I blame Emily and Gina.
You know, it's time to get on the scale and see, you know, see what my sins are for the week. I blame Emily and Gina.
I just blame Emily and Gina.

Speaker 1 Get a nail on my tire. It's Emily and Gina.
I feel

Speaker 1 me. I actually really do blame Emily for a lot of the downfall of this season because I do think that she was really, very, very focused on getting Katie out from the very beginning.

Speaker 1 She was, she was problematically focused on it, I think. And then when she did, then there was a vacuum in the storyline.
I mean, everything just kind of collapsed. And so I've enjoyed it.

Speaker 1 I've actually really enjoyed it even after Katie's been gone. But like, you can't deny that a lot of the momentum that was so compelling about the season kind of just like went away.

Speaker 1 And now we just have this. Now we have Emily and Gina.

Speaker 1 Okay, I know we got started.

Speaker 1 I keep on trying to start the podcast and i keep on going into like chit-chat about it but let's start let's start the recap okay here we go day two of amsterdam time to put our makeup on shannon's room is a hellhole of course and it's just a wacky shannon scene you know while she talks about how she was so high well i don't know the level of highness but i'm definitely still feeling the effects of space cake

Speaker 1 And it's like, look at this. I don't know how to open a window anymore.

Speaker 1 Do I crank it? Do I push a button? Is there a button? Do I pull a rope?

Speaker 1 Do I talk to it in a spaniel? Open Damala window.

Speaker 1 So, Shadden, you were really

Speaker 1 that hashish really affected you. Oh, no, that was fine.
It's just all those carbs. It's just, I don't really know what to do with myself.

Speaker 1 A lot's taken in one night.

Speaker 1 This is croissant high. And then she's trying to put on iPads.
She's like,

Speaker 1 Do these go on my nose? Whoa, I don't even remember where an iPad goes.

Speaker 1 I put them over my eyes. I can't see.
I can't see. I put under iPads on.
My eyeballs.

Speaker 1 Boom. I just falling down.
I just want to, I just

Speaker 1 a house facade falls over her. She's like Buster Keaton now.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I will say that a lot of people are saying like, it's maybe time for Shannon to go.
No.

Speaker 1 I think we've watched Shannon's arcs well enough to know that she usually has some tragically awful season and then she has her overcompensating i'm actually a really fun lady season and then she settles back into paranoia and tragedy so i think next season she'll be fine i want to see shannon at the end of the world okay i want i want it to be like 50 years later and see shannon you know in some decrepit home i don't even care if she can't walk speak whatever i just need her there i need to see shannon until the last breath okay yeah I get so mad when people say it's time for Shannon to go.

Speaker 1 I'm like, how dare you? You don't even understand. Like, yes, she's sort of having a non-compelling season, but this is a woman who gives and gives and gives.
And

Speaker 1 when she, like, she's just trying to be a happy-go-lucky person this season, I'm telling you, it will go away and she will go back to being a lunatic. It's going to be wonderful.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you just got to be patient. It's like an orchid.
They look like they're dead, but they just come back sometimes. I keep telling myself that.

Speaker 1 But yeah, one of my friends, Stephanie, texts me all the time and she's like, I can't can't believe you are standing up for Shannon. I'm so sick of Shannon.
How could you stick up for her?

Speaker 1 She's crazy. And I just write back, yes.
She's a drunk. Yes.

Speaker 1 She's a mess. Yes.

Speaker 1 Like, yes.

Speaker 1 You're exactly, you know, you're laying out why I love the woman. Okay.
Yeah. Also, I'm like, I will never

Speaker 1 guess that one stop. And I will never.

Speaker 1 ever forgive Bravo if they ever get rid of Shannon before they get rid of Emily and or Gina. Like if that happens, something is really wrong over at that network.
Okay. Because

Speaker 1 that, that would be a travesty. So, you know, this has nothing to do with anything.

Speaker 1 And I'm sorry, it won't take long, everybody, but I was watching the seminal film K-pop demon hunters yesterday because I, or a couple of days ago, because I had to show my niece and my sister because I loved it.

Speaker 1 I just loved it. Yeah.
It's one of my favorite things of all times. Loved it.

Speaker 1 So I was showing it to them. And of course, they were totally blasé.
They're like, whatever. Great.
Thanks. I noticed that at the very end i was reading the credits because that's how much i love it

Speaker 1 i was like reading the credits of k-pop demon hunters um alex baskin is a producer on k-pop demon hunters that guys everywhere wow he's set for life now i mean he was already set for life but now he's how whoa wow does no he's already set for life he's a will there be a basketball

Speaker 1 Okay, so

Speaker 1 is that Alex Baskin? K-pop demon hunters? What?

Speaker 1 Are you looking at it? Right. Yeah, I just wanted to.
I know. You have to.

Speaker 1 There's actually a whole Reddit thread. I do have kind of delusional thinking where I'll, you know, I remember things incorrectly.
It's important to Google me. I'm not offended.
Oh, wait. Wait.

Speaker 1 Is it a different Alex Baskin?

Speaker 1 Well, you know, Reddit has all the answers. So there is a thread about this from a month ago.
Oh, my God, Ronnie, you're so late. Banner Pump and K-pop Demon Hunter connection question mark.

Speaker 1 So a user says, so I was re-watching K-pop Demon Hunter for the millionth time. And when the credits rolled, I saw a familiar name.
Alex Baskin is a production manager for that movie.

Speaker 1 Well, that's production manager. Oh, production manager.
That's different. I just saw Alex Baskin.
I've been actually rewatching it. Someone else saw it too.
And it turns out there's two Alex Baskins.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Oh,

Speaker 1 sorry.

Speaker 1 Well, actually, I'm glad you Googled it because you see, I would have next, you know, I would have maybe seen him in Bravocon and been like, oh, my God, your best work ever, K-pop demon hunters.

Speaker 1 Amazing.

Speaker 1 And he would have been like, that's not me, but thanks for dissing everything else I've ever done.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, everybody. False alarm.
Let's go back to the regularly scheduled program.

Speaker 1 I was trying to come up with a pun for K-pop demon hunters that's somehow like related to um like real house was at Beverly Hills. I just couldn't do it.

Speaker 1 Kyle trans, like, trans, trans, hate tweet demon hunters. Here we are, we're back.
That's us.

Speaker 1 Um, so Emily, but it's like wacky makeup session, and we go see what Emily and Gina are doing to get ready. And Gina is like, New Year Q-top,

Speaker 1 and I'm like, No, I won't give you a Q-top.

Speaker 1 So, you know, they're earning their money as well. At least you got Shannon doing tricks over there, putting under eye pads on her eyeballs.
What are you two doing? Yeah, your Q-tip comedy.

Speaker 1 Out of here, hey, we're the picture you got going on.

Speaker 1 So, people are meeting in the lobby and complimenting each other. Gretchen tells Heather she looks pretty, and Heather tells Gretchen she's pretty.

Speaker 1 And she's like, Tulip Barbie, Jen, you look like tulip Barbie because you look like a Barbie doll, but you also look appropriate for visiting a tulip.

Speaker 1 I have

Speaker 1 never been

Speaker 1 to a tulip field. Like, whoa, okay.

Speaker 1 That was expository information, Alfredo. Please.

Speaker 1 Can we have a location? A location anywhere you want.

Speaker 1 Okay, back down to me. Get down from here, but dump Jamie.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 Shannon comes down barefoot, and Heather's like, Why are we walking barefoot in foreign lands?

Speaker 1 And Shannon has hurt her toe. She's like, My, my, I stepped my toe, so my, my shoe is too tight.

Speaker 1 And then I tried to, tried to wear the hotel phone as my shoe, and then it started ringing in the elevator.

Speaker 1 Hey there, can you uh can you tell your man to do the to do the thing? No, no, you have not trained for comedy, so therefore you will just have to make your own jokes and make your own sound effects.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry, there are no badumchas for non-comedians. Sorry,

Speaker 1 sorry, you have to be accepted into the groundlings in order to have a badumcha. Thank you.

Speaker 1 I was so excited not to travel with toddlers anymore, and then I met Shannon.

Speaker 1 I'm really obsessed with Rula. You know, I'm a big proponent of therapy and Rula is really a great source for it.

Speaker 1 Telehealth has made mental health care more more convenient and accessible for millions of people.

Speaker 1 However, critical challenges like finding a suitable therapist and scheduling appointments and the expensive out-of-pocket costs don't really keep many from getting the care that they need.

Speaker 1 Rula is on a mission to make high-quality mental health care from a licensed professional easy and affordable for everyone. And Rula's got you covered.

Speaker 1 They take most major insurance plans and the average copay is only $15 per session. You can now get the quality care you need when you need it at a price you can afford.

Speaker 1 The first step on your journey to mental well-being is easy.

Speaker 1 Rula starts by asking you a few questions about what's important to you and then provides a list of licensed in-network therapists who match your preferences.

Speaker 1 You can schedule your preferred time and meet with your therapist as soon as the next day.

Speaker 1 Thousands of people are already using Rula to get affordable, high-quality therapy that's actually covered by insurance. Visit rula.com slash crappins to get started.

Speaker 1 After you sign up, you'll be asked how you heard about them. Please support our show and let them know we sent you.
That's r-u-l-a.com slash crappins.

Speaker 1 You deserve mental health care that works with you, not against your budget. Okay, Alfredo, we're back.
I appreciate that. Thank you.

Speaker 1 So she's brought mushrooms because, you know, she's still really groovy, Heather, guys.

Speaker 1 She's super cool and she has a sexy room with her husband, in case you didn't know, whole penthouse suite just to have sexy time with mama elsa face. Terry.

Speaker 1 And she also does like fun drugs. So she's got mushrooms, guys.
She's like, ChatGPT says we need three to four crams each.

Speaker 1 Um, and then at four grams, that is the amount of grams that you need to have a fun time. Because I am a fun mom, fun Heather DeBrow is here.

Speaker 1 Remember my sleepover when we all had very distinct things that we had to do, and then we woke up and someone uh cooked us plain eggs. That was so fun, everyone.
I am fun this season.

Speaker 1 What do you even ask? Chat GPT: like, how many shrooms does my mom need to feel cool?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 ChatGPT would be like, great question. I love that.

Speaker 1 Most people recommend four grams, but really it's up to you.

Speaker 1 And the other question is.

Speaker 1 Four grams should work, plus a sexy room. And, you know, what else was her, what else did I just say was her thing? My sexy room, my weed, my weed, my marriage one.

Speaker 1 So, oh, and a gramlings class. So Shanna's like,

Speaker 1 how many grams of mushrooms do I need to make my mom feel cool? Make my mom feel cool.

Speaker 1 I'm just asking AI right now. And AI said, I was supposed to use that.
You're going to get in trouble. Okay.

Speaker 1 Well, of course, AIDS. But now I want to know.
I'd be happy to help you cook something.

Speaker 1 You already wasted the water, so just tell me the answer.

Speaker 1 I'd be happy to help you cook something with mushrooms for your mom.

Speaker 1 That's actually like Heather Bro is doing AI right now. Oh, you'd like to use mushrooms? Shall we make a risotto?

Speaker 1 And Gina's like, oh, Heather is the mom.

Speaker 1 Heather's the lady that my mom warned me about in high school, and no one would suspect her.

Speaker 1 So Gina's super cool, too. So they take shrooms, guys.
And Heather's like, Apparently, when you take these shrooms, colors are more vibrant. So what better time to take them than seeing two of them?

Speaker 1 You want to see a vibrant color? Look at my toe.

Speaker 1 It's blue.

Speaker 1 I think it's blue.

Speaker 1 Talking to me.

Speaker 1 My toe is talking to me. And it's saying, ow!

Speaker 1 Ow! Wait, what is that saying? David?

Speaker 1 Here lies Shannon Bedor's toe killed by a sandal that looked a lot like that slut on the beach.

Speaker 1 So they get in two separate vans because it's housewives. So we got to talk shit about each other in each van.
And Jen and Shannon are in one talking about Shannon's boobs and how big they look.

Speaker 1 And Shannon's like, oh, it's called a falsally bra. I think.
I think that's what it's called. A falsally bra.
It hides the fat in your back.

Speaker 1 Can you see any fat in my back? I can't. So that's the important part.
I love Sphinx. I just, I wish they were even tighter.
So Spinks till I die.

Speaker 1 Is it really called the falsely bra? Falsely bra? Something. I couldn't understand what it was.
So I just phonetically wrote it down.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 okay.

Speaker 1 I was like, could you imagine a falsely? It's like, this bra bra is a false bra.

Speaker 1 It's just like your boobs just come flying out. So

Speaker 1 Jen's like, I mean, what if you met a man? I mean, a man and he wants to fuel you and grabbed your ass and it's all smushed in there. I mean, it's just not hot.

Speaker 1 I'm like, I guarantee the man's probably doesn't, at that point, the man doesn't care. He just wants to get it in.
You know, he doesn't care what he feels back there.

Speaker 1 Man, I don't need Jen explaining to me like. men not finding spanks hot.
Fuck off, Jen. Okay.
Don't make, don't make Tamra bring out your fatty photo again or whatever. How dare you?

Speaker 1 I don't like that someone had a fatty photo spread about them that wasn't even a fat photo and still says so many rude things, you know, like I was disgusting then. I don't like it, you know? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Have some grace, ma'am. Have some grace.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Some of us need the spanks. Okay.
I'm not apologizing to you. I don't care if that guy fucking thinks it's hot.
He found it hot enough to get me naked in the first place. Now he's going to suffer.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So Tamara and the other van, Tamara's like, so last night we went to the bar and Gretchen was like such a danner.

Speaker 1 I'm like, have you met your husband?

Speaker 1 Have you had dinner with Eddie lately? Yeah.

Speaker 1 So then we see a clip of this offensive Gretchen moment, which Tamara is in the bar like trying to sexy dance for Shannon, you know, and like doing her squat twerk or whatever the hell she's trying to do.

Speaker 1 And Gretchen's just sitting at the bar smiling. Super offensive.
Super offensive moment from Gretchen. Well, it is kind of annoying.
It does suck when everyone's like having fun.

Speaker 1 And then there's one person who's like, I'm sullen. And you're like, okay, get over it.
But also by the time, one thing I have realized is that now that I'm in my 40s,

Speaker 1 now I'm deep in my 40s, I started to realize, like, when people do that, you just sort of zone them out. So the fact that Tamra can't do that, I mean, Tamra's really trying here.

Speaker 1 She's such a damn that bitch.

Speaker 1 So then

Speaker 1 we're also older and our friends like squat twerking in the middle of hotel lobbies isn't like as hilarious as it used to be either. And there's that.

Speaker 1 I think I'm probably, I think I'm probably the person at the bar like, can I get another drink i'm with that idiot

Speaker 1 she was just probably thinking about what her next you know um online sale will be you know her discount code she's like oh my god i got extra crucifixes in this month and better figure out how to move those while tamer's talking

Speaker 1 i just don't understand why i should want to sit at the bar she creeps around you like there's never a confrontation or a conversation i thought it would be spicy you know i feel like emily is

Speaker 1 emily is just she's just like the worst these days. I mean, she is, she really acts so friendly with Gretchen.
And the moment she's with Tamra, she talks so much shit about Gretchen.

Speaker 1 And this is not me defending Gretchen. This is me just pointing out how fake Emily really is.

Speaker 1 Given that they all are kind of like a certain degree of fake and they all are, they talk shit about each other's backs, et cetera. Emily just sort of really goes and runs back information to.

Speaker 1 to Tamara all the time. And it's just like, she really is a jerk.
She's a jerk. And I think that, and I've said it a zillion times, and I'll probably say it a zillion more.

Speaker 1 The worst thing about those two is that they're just not good friends. I feel like everybody else, they have their moments, yes, where they hear something, they go back and tell the other person.

Speaker 1 Like, that's the nature of the show. But they at least stick to sides, you know, and stand up for their friends until it all goes to shit or whatever.
But these two don't even try.

Speaker 1 They just, they fake it to everybody's faces and then they just try and like ruin their shit just for fun every single episode. And they also blow their load way too quickly with it.

Speaker 1 But also, hearing the information later in the episode that Emily and Gene are just so mortified and have this moral quandary over when they're even running back to Gretchen for this past three weeks, being so nice and all of that, it's like, it's just gross, you know?

Speaker 1 Yeah. See something, say something.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Don't hide until it's like,

Speaker 1 you know, don't hide out and be nice until it's convenient for you because you'll have other people on your side.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I totally agree. So

Speaker 1 Emily's like, this Gretchen and Tamara carousel needs to stop. It borders on obsession.
It's weird. Well, guess what?

Speaker 1 Last time I checked, the person who pressed go on the carousel was you because everything was fine. And Gretchen said her thing.
And then you went and ran and told Tamara about it.

Speaker 1 So you just let me know when you want to, you know, take responsibility for this. Well, Jen was even having a good time.
She was tipsy. She was dancing with me.

Speaker 1 And Gina's like, honestly, Tamara, Jenna's whoever. Everyone tells her to be.

Speaker 1 That's just who Jenna is. She's like, well, we had a talk so bad.

Speaker 1 Let's have a flashback to the talk I had with her. Where it was me and Jin, and we were talking about Lexis's wedding.
And I said, no one should tell you going to be friends with the bitch.

Speaker 1 So be friends with Lexis.

Speaker 1 Tamara saying that is so funny. Anyone on this show saying that, given that they pull that card all the time.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So Gina's like, but the thing is, like, Shannon's saying she wasn't going go into the wedding like on her like like she wasn't gonna go to the wedding like on her own so i like i don't see why now jen is saying that shannon asked him not to you know like i i have a crazy perspective on this which is like

Speaker 1 don't understand it and also don't really care and it's none of your business who the cares like why are you trying to like they're trying so hard to tear apart shannon and jen just to make get something going it's like why are you doing this like why like like because there's nothing going on you know Gina has Travis's balls.

Speaker 1 That's literally all she has. And, you know, you're right.
Gina, the last episode was like. So, Jen,

Speaker 1 like, I mean, Shannon doesn't want you to go to the wedding. Did she say she doesn't want you to go? Why does Shannon tell you she doesn't want to go to the wedding? So Shanna said that, right?

Speaker 1 Shanna said that. Yeah.
So Shanna said that, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And then.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 Shannon said that. So you like want to be mad about her? Like, is that something you want to be mad about her for at all, Jen? Like, what do you want to do, Jen?

Speaker 1 About being friends with Shannon, it's only about herbivles. And I see Jen falling right into it.
She's just falling right into it.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 yeah, the van arrives to the tulip garden, and Heather's like, Wow, tulips, how beautiful! What a lovely birthday we're having for my child at the tulip farm.

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 can I get a word? A word, please. Pineapple.
Okay, sure. Let's go with that.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. I think I feel these mushrooms because right now I'm seeing flowers.
It's because we're at a tulip farm. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 But when you're walking through a flower view, the possibilities are endless. And so they walk around the fields and they're taking pictures.
And Heather.

Speaker 1 Heather's supposedly high, so she can't even get her head in the frame. You just see like a corner of hair whenever she takes a selfie.

Speaker 1 The post-production team has a lot of fun with this one. They start doing all sorts of like trippy things.
They make like a flower crying and they did, they make a weird tulip outline mat situation.

Speaker 1 And they're like, oh, thank God we have something to do. So we're so sick of making it, making a transition from a surfer walking across the screen, going from the beach to Gina's house.

Speaker 1 I'm so sick of making a transition with that guy dropping a basketball.

Speaker 1 I know.

Speaker 1 How many times can I make three bars appear across the screen? And one bar shows Emily cleaning a counter. One shows Tamra opening a fridge.
And one shows Shannon trying to face time her daughter.

Speaker 1 And then all three bars go away and we wind up on Gretchen. How many times can I do that? I cannot use this dog on rollerblades anymore.
Please give me something.

Speaker 1 Give me some good masham content in the tulip field. Please, anything.
So we see the tulip crying and it's really a baby. There's a baby crying in the background.

Speaker 1 And Tim's like, why is that baby crying? This isn't a place to cry. Man up, baby.
Man up.

Speaker 1 I feel like it's like a great place to cry, honestly.

Speaker 1 And then

Speaker 1 Shannon's like... Because this is how life is.

Speaker 1 I go through all of this shit myself for years just to end up in a fucking field of allergies.

Speaker 1 I'd be crying if I was in this like beautiful multicolored tulip paradise. And all of a sudden, I see like Heather DeBrux be like, welcome to the tulip.
Like the witch of the tulip field has arrived.

Speaker 1 Baby, can I get a word? No.

Speaker 1 Your baby doesn't know words yet. How am I supposed to groundling?

Speaker 1 So then there's like a horse statue. So Shannon's like, I'm going to be wacky.
So I'm going to get on this horse.

Speaker 1 But Shannon, who has ridden horses her whole life, decides not to get on the horse in the normal way, which is to, you know, swing a leg up.

Speaker 1 But she instead like grabs it from below and straddles it and does that,

Speaker 1 like tries to

Speaker 1 be crazy. And then she gets up there and it's like, oh God, Shannon, really killing it when they come.
I have to get up here using the horse's penis.

Speaker 1 Hilarious. Wait, it's not a penis.
It's an iPad.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 she's like, well, it's a statue. I can feel it's plaster.
It's not real. It's not like a real penis.
A real horse is in plaster. And the producer tells her, Do you remember what that feels like?

Speaker 1 She goes, Yes, I remember what a penis feels like.

Speaker 1 I mean, I think I do. I was,

Speaker 1 is it sort of like the felt? It's like felt. It's like a, it's like touching a puppet, like a Muppet, right? No? Oh,

Speaker 1 maybe I don't remember.

Speaker 1 So Jen and Gretchen get on the buggy behind the horse and they're like whipping it. And Gretchen's like, yeah, do it, horse, do it.
And Heather's like, oh, no, look at them.

Speaker 1 Queens of quote-unquote comedy. Am I right?

Speaker 1 Okay, I'll take that one. I'll take that one.
I'll take it. It was like, it's the I8 Tamra Club.
Get it up.

Speaker 1 And so Emily's like, Shannon is clearly the president. Gretchen is the historian, because if you need to bring something up from 15 years ago, she's your girl.

Speaker 1 But just don't put Jen in charge of finances.

Speaker 1 Let's, you know, let's not take you. As far as I could tell, Emily, you could be the historian too, because you were the one who dug up all that information on Katie at the reunion.

Speaker 1 So let's not historian shade people on this show. Emily Simpson.
Thank you, Alfredo.

Speaker 1 Wow, we were really the fun club over here.

Speaker 1 And Gina's like, oh my God, you know what? Do you remember? Come on, guys. Let's start a storyline because we don't got nothing.
Okay, Heather, come over here. Come over here.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Do you remember when Alexis's wedding was brought up and Jen said Shannon requested her not to go?

Speaker 1 Really? Yeah, I talked to Jen about Alexis and I said you act like you're not friends with her. Yeah, well, I talked to Shannon about that.
What a coincidence.

Speaker 1 Right at the same time when we were at different restaurants and I said you act like you have all these boundaries but Jen still talks to Alexis. Seems like a bullshit friendship.

Speaker 1 Well, I like, why can't she just say I'm friends with Alexis? Like, why is Shannon being so mean to her? What does Shannon have on her? Is Shannon blackmailing her? Like, why is Shannon so dangerous?

Speaker 1 I feel like it's, like, not safe to be on the same cast with Shannon. Should she even be on this show anymore? I feel bad because I think she's in a bad state.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 I think she's actually dying. I'm scared.
And then this whole bridal shower thing. Like, I'm over here supporting Shannon Morio when I thought my whole relationship was going to implode.
And then

Speaker 1 this is what bugs me. You know, it's like, let's celebrate with Jen still with Ryan a year later.
Like, where's my pizza party? I'm like, I know you're not going to shannitge.

Speaker 1 That's still the pizza party storyline.

Speaker 1 No one is going to celebrate you and Travis. I'm sorry.
Okay. No.

Speaker 1 We're not going to celebrate your fake storyline of moving out on Travis so you can escape the wife trying to take half of your money for child support or whatever the hell's going on. Yeah,

Speaker 1 you don't get a party for realizing you were being a dipshit for a year by

Speaker 1 kicking out your boyfriend. I mean, like, you get parties for milestone things.
Jen's getting married. Shannon's like, well, she's going to, she's getting married.
It's not going to be in the show.

Speaker 1 We should probably do something for her. And I like this girl.
She's the only one not being mean to me right now. So I'll throw her a party.
Why not? I also have to do something on this season.

Speaker 1 And now Gina is basically trying to tear apart Shannon and Jen. She's trying to kind of quote unquote expose Shannon and try to like rip them asunder.

Speaker 1 All ultimately, what we see here is because Gina didn't get a party and she wanted a party. And this goes right back to it, that Gina's an asshole.
Like she's so shitty to her friends yeah

Speaker 1 and i don't even know that she really wants a party from shannon i think she's just out to destroy for no reason she's just bored and her whole like i've been such a good friend to shannon when

Speaker 1 when when have you been such a good friend to shannon i count with this whole social

Speaker 1 she's been so she's been so nice to shannon this is her version of being nice shannon like i'm your friend and i just want to sit here on tv that you might have a problem with alcohol like everybody's worried about you are you drunk right now could you breathe into this Breathe into this.

Speaker 1 Let's see if your car starts. Her whole thing is that like she was, she hated Shannon, and Shannon got a DUI, and then she felt

Speaker 1 and felt like as a fellow DUI person that like they like she should help Shannon and she was nice to Shannon and she supported Shannon and that was all very nice and nice and good.

Speaker 1 And now she's like, now where's my party?

Speaker 1 Which then she's accusing Shannon of actually being very insincere and having ulterior motives with the way she moves socially when actually Gina has kind of revealed that herself.

Speaker 1 And maybe she doesn't even want explicitly a party. I guess she's saying like, I was there for you, Shannon, but then you're not being nice to me the way you're being nice to Jen.

Speaker 1 But like, I don't know. I think Shannon probably sees you for who you are, Gina, Gina, which is someone who's like a jerk like Emily.
And yeah,

Speaker 1 she does literally want a party because Emily goes, like, where's the Gina still with Travis party? She goes, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, I'm like, this is more like my friendship with Shannon because she like pushes me away because I told, I hold her accountable.

Speaker 1 And it irritates me because like I'm gonna piss you off sometimes because it's in your best interest but like I'm the one who's considered lower on the totem pool than her than like Jen that's not fair that's not then why are you wanting a party from her okay like then move on so now we go to the cafeteria um

Speaker 1 and uh tamara tamara is they're all sitting at a at a at a table tam

Speaker 1 Heather, can you serve us? Because it's some sandwiches over there. Serve us.
So Heather takes these platters. She serves Tamra Tamara and she's like, this is too much.
Where are the Alfredos?

Speaker 1 Okay, Alfredo, put down your drum. Give us the sandwiches.

Speaker 1 And she's like, why am I doing this? I'm too rich for this. So she stops.
And Tamara's like, I'm the only one that got a sandwich.

Speaker 1 Didn't mom need leave. She just said me.

Speaker 1 I did love that, like, Heather could really only

Speaker 1 like step into the role of the service industry for about 30 seconds before she'd put it all down.

Speaker 1 I can't do it, mine. Wendy Malik.

Speaker 1 Well, I'm glad we got to see them before they went away. Gina's like, ooh, tulips.
You know, the circle of life, because tulips die. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 I was trying to count the people here and figure out who died. I felt the

Speaker 1 watching Gina high is like giving a New Yorker 15 cups of coffee and winding them up and letting them go.

Speaker 1 Meanwhile, Gina is just staring off into space with zero energy.

Speaker 1 Look at her. Look at all that energy.

Speaker 1 Travis has been bored.

Speaker 1 I want to know something, Jen. Like the whole thing came out about like the Alexis wedding and like you said that you're like not going.
It's like, yeah, for Shadow.

Speaker 1 And yeah, the whole thing came up when you brought it up. You mean?

Speaker 1 She's like, yeah, that whole Alexis wedding thing just happened to come up again, like naturally, as if I'm not the one who's brought it up every single time. But yeah, it just came up.

Speaker 1 But then, like, someone else said that she asked you not to go. She didn't ask me not to go.
Excuse me. No, no, she didn't ask me not to go.
How dare you? I'm going to eat a lollipop.

Speaker 1 I'm going to eat a lollipop during this scene. I mean, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 Why aren't you going?

Speaker 1 Why aren't you going then? I have to go. Why does it matter?

Speaker 1 Why does it matter? But why does it matter? My turn. My turn.
Why aren't you going?

Speaker 1 My turn.

Speaker 1 Okay. Well, I don't know.

Speaker 1 You haven't answered. Why aren't you going to this wedding then? I'm just trying to have a a lollipop.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry, but he called these popsicle here. Okay.
Well, you should not go to your friend's wedding. Well, I didn't tell her not to go.
I did not tell you not to go. I did not tell you that.

Speaker 1 Well, but she said she's still friends with her. How do you feel about that? Well, I do like Alexis.
I told you that. Jen's like, oh, oh,

Speaker 1 oh, I didn't know that. I thought you weren't her friend anymore.
Did I know that? No.

Speaker 1 No, I,

Speaker 1 well, I'm just having 30 to 40 negative thoughts about Jen, Jen Pitcherante, because I thought you weren't friends with her anymore, which is why I threw you a party, because I thought you were better friends with me.

Speaker 1 And I thought you would enjoy that. And I thought that you were going to be my ally for the rest of the show, ever, for the rest of the time.
And I'm a little upset right now.

Speaker 1 But, Shannon, your issue with Lexis is your issue with Lexis. She hasn't done anything to me.
Nothing to me. I get that.
I get that.

Speaker 1 But if you look at the things that she has done to me, they're pretty disgusting. I mean,

Speaker 1 we're talking about

Speaker 1 Earl of Pearl not eating a vegetable disgusting. It's pretty unforgivable.
It's not easy for me to be friends with someone who is friends with someone that I know isn't very kind to me.

Speaker 1 Oh, sorry, I'm not saying that. Could you say that again?

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 It's not easy for me to be friends with someone who's friends with someone who's friends with someone. Wait, did I add one too many friends?

Speaker 1 Now this person's friends with that person who's friends with that person. Why does everybody hate me? Everybody hates me.

Speaker 1 So are you saying that knowing I'm friends with Alexis dictates how you feel about me? Well, I mean, yeah, a little bit.

Speaker 1 That's really fucked up. That's really fucked up.
Gina and Emily, why are you smiling so much right now? I'm really mad at Shannon. Yeah, that really is fucked up.
Poethin. The gas,

Speaker 1 that is.

Speaker 1 And Emily's like, you gotta dictate who's friends with her. Well, I'm not even that close with her, so I don't know what you guys are mad about.

Speaker 1 Well, I think her impression, I don't even know where she got this, is that you have no relationship with her.

Speaker 1 Like, I i mean that's well that has been my my impression that has been my impression now i'm not a friend dictator but if the situations were reversed i would not be friends with someone who is mean to holly

Speaker 1 i'm uh

Speaker 1 um i'm sorry uh which one is holly again i'm i'm you're pretty new to this group you holly right holly oh

Speaker 1 jen oh

Speaker 1 yeah oh it's okay it's okay shannon shan's kind of wacky that way oh um

Speaker 1 I think that, like, it's that you tiptoe around how you feel with her. Like, you couldn't even tell it you didn't even really want that shower.

Speaker 1 I was like, you're

Speaker 1 such a dick.

Speaker 1 Like, why do you do that? Like, why? That is so obnoxious. Like,

Speaker 1 this is a horrible, horrible person. And Shanna's like,

Speaker 1 you didn't want that shower, but I yelled at somebody for sending Jansen wedding stuff. She didn't want that shower.
And she said, if she wanted a shower, it had to specifically have blush glassware.

Speaker 1 And you didn't even have that.

Speaker 1 She thought that shower was ridiculous. I never said it was ridiculous.
Come on. Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 You were talking when we were shopping at that little terrible place that could have been like a kiosk on a beach, but like with actual. Congratulations!

Speaker 1 You said how ridiculous it was. So then we see, I think this is unseen footage, right? I don't remember this scene.
I actually think we saw this. Yeah, we saw this.

Speaker 1 So Jen's like, you know, I just love Shannon so much, but why is she having a bridal lunch? Yeah, like, why are we having a brunch for Jen when we don't even know she's getting married?

Speaker 1 So she didn't say it was ridiculous. I think she was just saying, this is sweet, but it's kind of out of left field.
Like, what the hell? Yeah, it's like, it's out of left field.

Speaker 1 It's not something I would do. But like and jen's like i mean why do you what are you doing right now

Speaker 1 i'm just being honest i'm being honest about this dom

Speaker 1 but so am i i mean you know if i if i sat there and i said that no because like you expect us all to take time out of our day to foster this fake friendship that's the problem that's the problem oh my god you expect us the viewers to sit here and watch you every week week after week after week that's our problem this is she is gina is is awful they they really

Speaker 1 they're really they're testing my last nerve today i can't deal with this right now and this is my thing like if you're gonna if you're gonna constantly make up for storylines and just blatantly lie which is what she does all the time she's it's not her first time doing it or emily at least make them interesting storylines i mean you're trying to make a storyline out of someone not wanting a bridal shower and being forced having a bridal shower forced on them that's just weird you know you're trying to force this thing like a fight with alexis who's not even on the show show again it's weird like come up with something better

Speaker 1 they really are and by the way it still really bothers me you brought this up last week but it still bothers me that um you know they're sitting here saying how like oh my god you should never say who someone's allowed to be friends with that's wrong shannon's crazy for that when we really watched a whole thing of emily saying that if Tamara met with Katie,

Speaker 1 that would affect their friendship. Like it's literally the same thing.
And it was only about two or three weeks ago that that happened.

Speaker 1 And now they're getting all high and mighty about who Shannon can and can not be mad at about these things.

Speaker 1 So she's like, well, my friendship with Jen is not fake. You know, that is her name, right, Jen? Sylvia.
Sylvia.

Speaker 1 My friendship with Sylvia is not fake. And it hurts my feelings because

Speaker 1 I wanted it to be beautiful for

Speaker 1 Shelly.

Speaker 1 Shelly.

Speaker 1 Did I appreciate the bridal shower? Yes. Would I have picked that for myself? No.

Speaker 1 But sitting here at this point and pointing that out in front of all my friends is rude. But by the way, thank you so much for pointing it out.
It's nice to know that people care about me.

Speaker 1 It's just rude. I appreciate it.
Now, listen, just for the record, I did not have an issue with it. Would I have asked for anyone to plan that for me? No, I wouldn't.

Speaker 1 Oh, so are you really the correct person to be doing this right now, Gina? Oh, please. Like, you haven't been planning this with Gina.

Speaker 1 And Gina's like, well, look, Shannon, like, I love you, but, like, I had your back so hard last year.

Speaker 1 And I had such a horrible time last year with Travis when I left him so that he wouldn't have his income to claim on child support. And he could still try to get child support from his rich ex-wife.

Speaker 1 And then this year, my family came back together. And maybe that's something to celebrate with a party.
Like, I wouldn't have even minded if I didn't have blush glasses.

Speaker 1 Like, Jen went home really upset about it.

Speaker 1 You don't get you don't you don't get a party for

Speaker 1 patching things up with the person that you're you're you're dating You just don't get that.

Speaker 1 There are no Hallmark cards that say, hey, congratulations on your decision to move back in with your boyfriend

Speaker 1 who you kicked out in the first place

Speaker 1 based on bad logic. Like you don't have that card.
You have cards that say, congrats on your wedding. You have a wedding coming up.
Weddings are milestones.

Speaker 1 Having Travis move back in and like having sort of like that's not a that's not a milestone. That's not having your big ball babysitter move back in doesn't

Speaker 1 require a celebration. We want to have a party.
That's a party. And by the, by the way, the person who should throw that party is Emily, not Shannon.
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 So Emily's like, yeah, she wants a party.

Speaker 1 I don't want a party. I just want things to be based on genuine feelings, you know.
But they are genuinely, they are genuine feelings. I was super happy for Dolores.

Speaker 1 What was that? Oh, sorry. Different Dolores.
And was like, I think the issue here is that we can see that this new friendship forging here, but it just doesn't seem very authentic.

Speaker 1 And you have a lack of communication. And then we see you just automatically roll with Shannon blindly.

Speaker 1 I mean, you want to talk about authenticity and yet at the same time, you're going to be all buddy-buddy with Grutchers and then go and bring everything back to Tamara and you're going to complain about someone's inauthentic friendship.

Speaker 1 I don't think so, honey. Yeah, I don't see how Jen is rolling with Shannon blindly.
They're just hanging out a little bit here and there. It's weird.

Speaker 1 And then they're hitting the ship.

Speaker 1 by the way they share the common bond of dealing with tamara's wrath they they have a common enemy and that has brought them together as friends and i think that is a very valid basis for a friendship there's no more natural a friendship i see

Speaker 1 so heather's like oh i heard the word roll do you remember when shaman said don't roll on me remember no i remember when she was

Speaker 1 When she was accused of it. You guys have this new friendship and you're always laughing and stuff.

Speaker 1 It's disgusting well no i love friends but will you shut up and let me talk but like she acts like you're wingman and she's probably going to that wedding i want to talk shut the up yeah i'm like she doesn't even like peeing so i don't even know why you would give a ping she was very offensive shut up shut up gina will someone not give her a gummy tonight she won't stop talking she won't stop

Speaker 1 gina Let's play the quiet game. Okay, I do this all the time with Alfredo.
I say, okay, Alfredo, when I'm in the room and you're in the room, you have to play the quiet game.

Speaker 1 I get to talk to people that are not you also, obviously. Okay, and go.

Speaker 1 Well, I don't even know what to say now. I'm done.
Well, sometimes you just need your best friend to tell you to shut the fuck up.

Speaker 1 So now they decide they're going to go to these hot tub things. And

Speaker 1 they're like hot tubs that are on water. They're like river hot tubs.

Speaker 1 They're the things that I'm sure people in Amsterdam hate.

Speaker 1 like oh god there are the tourists again in those little hot tubs it's like when you see the uh the the bachelorette parties on the bar bicycles the bar bike still like oh you're a favorite

Speaker 1 happy happy bachelorette party jessica

Speaker 1 you see they're throwing her a birthday party They're throwing her a bachelor party and you're not bad at them.

Speaker 1 So first they have to get there by going in separate vans. Let's talk some shit.

Speaker 1 So, they get in their vans, and Emily is in with Jen, and she's like, Whoa, what do you think of Ryan's gonna think of your new Instagram that doesn't have him in it?

Speaker 1 And then we see a conversation 30 minutes earlier where Gina's like, Oh my god, when I open up Instagram, like, I don't even feel like I'm following you, I feel like I'm following Ryan.

Speaker 1 Like, you need to have a separate Instagram from Ryan.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I love uh, Gina giving um social media monetization advice,

Speaker 1 Carabella.

Speaker 1 So Emily's like, yeah, you have this Instagram. It's worth money.

Speaker 1 We don't want to just want, we don't, we just don't want you to be in the same position where you were before, where you don't know what the money is.

Speaker 1 Because if you do do that, then Gina's going to have to yell at you at a coffee shop again.

Speaker 1 Oh, I didn't even think about it like that. I mean, Gretchen, you're the same way, right, Gretchen? Like, it's not all you.
It's not, it's your Instagram's not you and Slaves.

Speaker 1 No, it's just me because like it's all full-blown business for me i know people make fun of it but i don't care

Speaker 1 and um yeah and so then we see a clip of heather and emily making fun of her

Speaker 1 Oh, wow, look, she's making content. She's going to sell that hat she's wearing.
Don't forget to use Gretchen code Gretchen20.

Speaker 1 Okay, Heather, who was trying to sell fucking masks during COVID for like 500, you know, times what they were worth.

Speaker 1 I mean, Heather is the actual wrong person to be talking about monetizing things back. Some of the things Heather has monetized have been disgusting.

Speaker 1 Like when her and Terry tried to monetize the Atkins diet and they tried to make it their own, like Terry, do bro diet. Guess what? We found a secret to youth.
You only eat protein.

Speaker 1 Thank you. Thank you.
Oh, oh, Alfredo, I don't want to have to cue you again. Like, okay, from the top, they only, what was it? Only monetized.
I've lost a thread.

Speaker 1 Broken. Only monitor.

Speaker 1 Oh, I didn't get to it yet.

Speaker 1 If you get really good at it, you can make a lot of money doing it, too. I've always been a cereal entrepreneur.
I sell frosted flakes.

Speaker 1 I sell cinnamon toast crunch. I got six businesses.
Hopefully that'll always be mailbox money. It's important to stand on your own without a man.

Speaker 1 Now let me just call Slade to make sure I said that part right. Slade, I said the part about standing and doing business.
Yeah, okay, good. And it's good to not be reliant on a man.

Speaker 1 That's it. Gretchen's so happy.
I'm going to do whatever I can be to be like Gretchen. I'm just, you know, I'm going to do whatever I can to be financially independent.

Speaker 1 I'm going to become less of a slate and more of a Gretchen.

Speaker 1 Basically, is what she says.

Speaker 1 Hashtag goals. Hashtag goals.
I get sick.

Speaker 1 So Gita is like,

Speaker 1 okay,

Speaker 1 welcome, America, to the other van. So, I mean, I support that.
I'm glad that they're like happy. And I just like don't want to see my friend get lost because suddenly I care about Jen a lot.

Speaker 1 Like, it's really important for me. You know, I care a lot about Jen, which is why when she had financial troubles and got behind on rent, I went and humiliated her in a restaurant.

Speaker 1 Like, so in that, in that respect, it's really important that I don't want to see her get lost. I just care so much about her.

Speaker 1 She's just a pippa plisser. She's just a pippa plissa.

Speaker 1 Yeah. By the way, Shannon, I know that right now when we have that conversation, it made it, I made it sound like you had a fake relationship with John.
Who?

Speaker 1 John. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 Deborah. Oh, Deborah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Well, I wasn't being fake.
I really wanted her to feel special. And for you to say she didn't want me to do that, well, it really hurts my feelings that Belinda would say something like that.

Speaker 1 Really hurts.

Speaker 1 Well, that's what she was saying, that she didn't want to end the fifth place. Well, you heard it from John.
Tamra.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry I interrupted you. What did you say? No, it's like, I love Tamara being like the truth teller.

Speaker 1 Tamara, who like manages the manages to bastardize every piece of information that comes to her. I'm not going to lie.

Speaker 1 It makes me feel stupid to know that

Speaker 1 Francine did not appreciate that party I threw for her, but I thought it was a nice time. Congratulations, you've reached the end of part one of a two-part recap.
