What's up my band of group Bates? Welcome back to another episode of VPR from the start. We are on season 2 episodes 2 and 3. Lula. Hi, Luke. Hi, baby. Luke's joining me from Colorado and I just wanna take one quick second to apologize for this podcast coming out a little bit late on Friday, just to be very transparent, I guess. Luke and I watched these episodes together

the beginning of this week and we didn't have an opportunity to record that same evening and I honestly did not realize how difficult it was already going to be for me to go back in time to this time era even though nothing crazy has happened yet. As far as like my reputation is concerned I guess but having to like discuss this more than once in one week I'm like man this is this is going to be a doozy of a season so I just wanted to be transparent with y'all but we're're gonna get them out. We're gonna we're gonna handle it.

I'm very self-aware. I can be self-deprecating, but doesn't make get that much easier, especially to record with my boyfriend. Well, babe, I hope you know that I'm aware of the things that transpire this season. I haven't watched it, but it's certainly not gonna come between us, not gonna question things about you. So I hope you can have some confidence in that. Yeah, no, thank you. It's just not so much fun, y'all. But here we are, we're doing this for our listeners. So let's just jump into it, episode two.

Yeah, episode two of season two titled, Branded, obviously referring to Jackson's Stasi tattoo. Oh, man. So the episode opens with Stasi and Christina talking about Sheena's outfit from her party the night before previous episode. Yeah, well, really they started as kind of what Stasi says is,

she explains who Christina Kelly is, and as all the Vanderpump listeners and viewers know, Christina has been around for a very long time. She's on the most recent episode of Vanderpump rules, but Stasi says like, well, Christina, Kelly, and I have been best friends, but when I was dating Jack, she didn't really like Jacks, so I'm glad to have my best friend back.

I just thought that was interesting, and this is no shade on KK or Stoss or whatever, but I thought it was really interesting being like, she didn't want to be my friend, because I don't remember this. But she didn't want to be my friend when I was dating Jacks because she didn't like him, so now I'm glad she's my friend again. I just thought it was so interesting, because we run into this a lot in our friend group

over the course of many seasons. Well, I can say being a friend sometimes is hard to support your friend if you completely disagree with the person that they're with, like that does in friendships in real life. Yeah, for sure. It's ended many of my friends have left me. Yeah, they're just catching up about Sheena's birthday party and Stasi's saying that She and Jacks have hooked up recently, that she is kind of still sweet on him, but essentially he has a lot to prove to her, but she still

has Frank in the back of her mind. Exactly. I agree with Christina. Ew. Even though the ew is about them, Stasi and Jacks hooking up, when I think of Frank, I think ew. Well, that's fair. looking up when I think of Frank, I think you. Well, that's fair. That's totally fair. So next we have Tom Schwartz's interview with Lisa. We have Tom and Katie talking at Sir, and Katie says like she really wants to get Tom this interview,

so he can join the wild bandwagon, join the family fund of all of us working at Sir. I'll go ahead, all I could think about when Tom's sitting down with Lisa is how young he looks. He looks like a little tiny baby. The main part I remember from this is how much shorts is like crushing over Lisa,

saying she's hot and how she would be his hall pass. Oh yeah, he's felt that way for quite some time. He has this like piece of art, I'm guessing, he still owns it, but it's made... He got an auction or something, like a charity thing, and it's like Lisa's face made out of beads, like mosaic type thing. It's very weird.

But I love how he's... This is for me, even though we're not there by any means, but for all the Vanderpomble listeners that have watched every season. When Tom says, I'm a bartending machine. I can do this, I can do that, I can do all these things. And for me, this is like accidentally foreshadowing seasons to come. When Tom Schwartz tries to bartend at Pomp and he lasts about 20 minutes has Panic Attack and Leaves. And it just reminded me of that because I remember Schwartz wanting to work at Sir

because they, all the guys were just doing catering until they were working there. And it just reminded me of that because I remember shorts wanting to work at Sir because they, all the guys were just doing catering until they were working there. But I just thought that was really funny. And then something I noticed this time around that I don't remember was Lisa says to Tom. Tom says, I know that I keep questionable company and she says, you sleep with questionable company. I was like, damn, that's a fucking low-digit Katie. Like, what?

It's not funny. It apparently Lisa just thought it was funny to roast a bunch of 20-something year olds back then. Well, she certainly liked to pick on, well, you more than anybody, and then Katie and Stasi, and at the moment, Shina is 100% her favorite. Yeah, it's just weird. I thought it was just weird.

And then speaking of Sheena, we now have Sheena, with the foot. So now she has sprained her foot, her teeth are broken. Now her foot, she says she has a hematoma. Now listen, I'm a self-proclaimed hypokondriac. Like, if I have a headache, I'm probably dying. Like, I'm the Google Web MD male clinic master, but a hematoma girl, that's a bruise. It's a bruise.

Yeah, it's a bruise and it's a fancy word to make people feel sorry for you. And then they discuss like, Shina writing an article or starting an article for the divine addiction. Pandora offers her to do like a makeup article, which everybody in that room knows is going to do nothing but ruffle Stasi's fucking feathers. That is going to put a stick right up her ass and just drive her nuts. And I truly think that that's why they did it, not because they needed an extra writer. I believe that. And I also believe that Sheena is the reason Talim Schwartz didn't get a chance. It's in the same scene right there, she and I was talking about how it's not a good idea

to have Schwartz working the new area. So it's like, of course, right now Lisa's gonna listen everything, she and it has to say, and Pandora's gonna bring everything to Lisa, that she and I says. So. Tooshay, tooshay. Well, Russ and peace divine addiction,

because that doesn't exist anymore. Next, oh boy, the IKEA table. Luke, I'm so proud of us. We put IKEA furniture together and it's like so much fun. I remember this day of putting this stupid table together and Tom being like, you know, I've been making it a priority to keep the apartment clean. So it's your apartment.

Another thing that just reminded me of Scandival once again, when he's like, I made Ariana coffee and I buy batteries for the house. And I like wipe my own ass. Like, congratulations for keeping your own apartment, not look like a total shit hole. Like one day in your life. And so that was funny.

More difficult than a lot of people think for men of certain ages, but it is what it is. I'm not trying to give him any kind of grace. But so right before that though, we skipped over Jackson's tossy ass, and when Jack's asked him to dinner, asked Stossy to dinner. So I like to write. That's up the scene that's coming up. But she agrees and says, well, it's not a day.

You know, we're just going as friends. Sure. It's just dinner. It's just dinner with my ex-boyfriend who's pining after me. Mm-hmm. I mean, if you paid for it, if the card wasn't declined, that's like a very famous thing that happened to Jack's over the seasons of Anorpone brules that his card would get declined. And he's like, come on, guys. Oh, that's hilarious.

Yeah, so we cut after the Tom saying he's going to handle the IKEA thing and you leave the apartment, right? Yeah. Go to work for Go To Do something else. Yeah. So yeah, the next thing though, Stasi and Pandora are talking about an article. About the Shina makeup article.

And Stasi is not having it. She was like, makeup, what is it for anime characters? Okay, so listen back then to be fair, Shina wore a lot of makeup. It also was kind of the vibe back then, and like, I don't know how long this 10 years ago, but it was obviously just Stasi taking like wild digs at her and being like what the hell she doesn't need to like you know crowd my space essentially. So that's their relationship.

The famous Stasi quote that came you know in their interview after that, Stasi saying I don't have a shadow, I have a Sheena. That's funny. I don't have a shadow, I have a Sheena. That's funny. I don't have a shadow, I have a Sheena. And then we'll get back to the Jacks tattoo cover up, but just to continue the Stasi and Sheena thing, they eventually get into the back alley at Sir. Another back alley at Sir confrontation

with Sheena and Stasi regarding the divine addiction and it's one of another one of stasi's famous little quotes where she's like hobble off. Just hobble off.

Let's get back to the big bomb that is going to be dropped, which is what this episode is named after. Brandage. Jack's goes in to get his tribal tattoo covered up because he says, well, Stasi says get an apartment and get that ugly tattoo covered up. So he's like, I'm gonna get koi fish

and I'm gonna get this, I'm gonna get that. But I also wanna get my ex-girlfriend's signature tattooed on the inside of my arm. That's closer to my heart. Oh man, it shorts. Shorts is with him and shorts is like, don't do it man. That's a bad idea. Shorts is literally like freaking out at this point.

Yeah, like, full on panic. But he says to Jacks, would you rather get a sleeve full of penises or Frank's face? Like I think he says on your chest or something like that. And Jack's like, oh, penises for sure, that's hilarious. So Luke, my question to you is, would you rather get a sleeve full of penises, just fucking dick and balls all over your arm, or a tattoo of somebody that you can't stand, think about the Jackson-Frank relationship, and a tattoo of their face on your chest.

So the way my brain works is which is easier to cover up. That's what I thought you were gonna say. Everyone, I mean, if I can make that face smaller and get it covered up later. I think he said it was like a big tattoo though. Yeah. Okay, still. I'd rather get a big chest piece covering up like the face of your ex-boyfriend, Christy, or something like that, then I try to do a full sleeve over the dick and balls all the way up. Okay, fair enough. That's why I wanted to ask. Rocker. I'm sure it on long enough balls all the way up. Okay, fair enough. That's why I wanted to ask.

Rock and roll. I can get sure it on long enough to get that covered up. I'll just say that. Right, right. sleeve's going to show. So then we have Jackson Stossie's date and you were like, just show her the fucking tattoo while we were watching it. You're like, show her the tattoo. Show her the tattoo. Why aren't you showing your the tattoo? Right. And he didn't. So, we're just you jumped up to the date, you skipped over when you finished, you get back and the copy table is not done. And Tom's all, you know, like, oh, pieces are missing or he's like, I put this thing together so many times, you go here, you take, you take control and you finish it. It's not difficult. You just got to follow the instructions. It's not that difficult. Just don't skip steps. That's the bottom line. Yeah, but that was essentially like an analogy or a metaphor for my relationship with Tom.

It was like, okay, here we are, down the drain we go. So, cut back to Stasi and Jack's on this date. So, Jack's obviously trying really hard. Doesn't want to show his tattoo. Stasi orders for them, which I find interesting. Yes, you know, Jack's better than me, is that normal? I mean, Jack's eats like chicken fingers, a hamburger, and frontries, a steak. Like, it's not that hard, I could order for Jack's. And Stasi also kind of wore the pants

in that relationship. She's much more of a foodie and like a date person. Like, Jack's is like, do you have a kids menu? Like, he's a self-proclaimed like child type eater. Like, can we go to Hooters? You know, so I don't think it's that difficult to order for Jack's. Okay, well that's fair. So, yeah, anyway, Stasi says, she wants a truly honest person and it gets to the point where she says that she wants Jack's to move on, right? She says that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's like, basically like, tell me. And she says, okay, yeah, move on. And Jack says he's in love, brings up Frank.

And Jack's, you know, is obviously upset in the car, in the truck as they're leaving. I just put, you know, Jack's is a mess. You hear like a... He's trying. ...the sobbing is right. Yeah. As I do that. And drives off in the episode ends, shows next time they're going to Lake Arrowhead.

Off we go. Off we go. So season two, episode three, only the lonely. So we all jump in Katie's car and we buzz off to Lake Arrowhead. And that was the car ride from Absolute AT double hockey sticks. I remember that just sticking my headphones in, production was so mad at me because they had cameras in the car and they're like, dude, you can't just be silent the entire trip because you can't listen to music as you know Luke, like when we're in a car guys, you can't listen to music, you have to talk about things that are relevant because that's why they have cameras up for this like hour and a half long road trip and I Obviously at the moment like couldn't really stand the guy I was dating so I was upset putting my headphones

That's a very me thing to do when I'm upset is just to kind of shut down But I felt really bad for everyone else in the car for sure. I've really sucked Here's a bubble. Yeah, and obviously you and Tom argue on the way up there and Stasi Chimes in having your back and letting Tom know like he's heart, he's focusing way too much on the wrong things here. And the reason you're getting upset about the little things that might have been brushed off before is because he cheated on you. And you're not over it yet. Right. She's like, it's not about

your band and it's not about your band and it's not about the milk and it's not about the wet towel on the floor. Which is such an amazing therapy type thing to say it's something that my therapist has always said to me. It's like, it's not about the wet towel on the floor or the kitchen cabinet being left open. It's something bigger than that and that we tend to focus on these small things.

So she was like, Tom, she's upset that you fucking cheated on her and she's not over yet. And that's what it is. And of course, he doesn't want to be reminded of that. So, you know, we just make the whole car ride a living hell for all of my friends. Sorry about that, guys. 10 years later. So we're in like Arrowhead and we go to Zibich and we finally get the Jack's tattoo reveal.

The big reveal. Oh, man. Would you get a tattoo of a girl's name whether it's your current girlfriend? I was gonna say ex girlfriend, but I know the answer to that. Would you get a tattoo of my name on if I was like I want you to tattoo my name? I hope you say no. No, I said you I said you know I guess if we're like married I think if it's something you know I've told you that much I think we both only want to do marriage once ever and I would have the intention of it being on me to rest my life once we're married.

Well, we already have matching tattoos. That we do. Which I've never done with a dude, but do you think back in your earlier days when you were not as like emotionally intelligent or mature. If you had a girl like that you were really pining over and you thought that it might appease her, would you have ever done that? I really don't think so. I want to say hard-nosed but there's I could maybe find a place in my brain where I would be fawning over someone so hard and they really wanted that and I'm like I'm going to be with this person forever.

I freaking struck gold and I'm like in my 20s and everything, then I could have been potentially convinced but I'm gonna say 99% now. Do you have anyone, do you have any friends who have ever done anything like that? Because I certainly do not. Oh yeah, that was not that uncommon. Like once you were old enough to get tattoos in high school,

when people started turning 18, I had friends. I got their girlfriends named tattooed on them. Oh wow. Yeah. It's been covered up, potentially multiple times with other names and stuff. But I'm going to do an Instagram poll and say, how many of you have gotten your ex's named tattooed?

I'm just curious. I just need like an over-under. Like give me a scale to work with. Yeah, so we do the beach tattoo reveal. Stasi finally sees the tattoo. And it's like she's happy in a way, but she's like kind of giddy in a way, but she's also like, huh, that's interesting.

And she's like, well, I don't want to see it again. But also like, this isn't going to make me be with you. You could tell just by her vibe. I got different vibe from right? I thought. I mean, her looks entirely changed. That this was such a big deal. She was smiling so big.

She was way more happy than weirded out by it. That's what I thought. And so for me, watching this back, I'm like, did he get that so he could forge her signature on things? That is the first thing, and it's not about jacks necessarily, but just like any person getting a signature, because when I was really young, I used to copy my mom's signature over and over and over to try to be able to forge it,

in case I needed to do something and I didn't want to tell her. Like a permission slip or whatever. Like exactly, yeah. Yeah, so that's just what I thought of. But okay, so you think she was really wooed by it. And yeah, I saw the giddy-ness, but I just remember thinking like, this isn't gonna change a damn thing.

Yeah, I guess from my perspective, it looked like it was somehow the right move for Jack's attempt to get her back. It seemed like that was something. Yeah, it made her feel special. Yeah, yeah, it made her feel special showing how far he's willing to go to the end of the world, into the earth. You know, that's an old quote, I'm probably going to mess it up, but they say a man in

level move mountains to get to you, you know, right? And this is kind of Jack's showing he's willing to do anything and everything. Is it him moving mountains to, you know, not to get back? Yeah, that's true, good point. Okay. So then we get to Stasi's mom's house, Dana. We finally get to meet on the show, Dana,

Georgie, Stasi's little sister, and Nikolai, Stasi's little brother, which this is just wild to me. Like, Nikolai was eight years old. Like, he is graduated from high school already. Her sister, George, he got married. Like, they're so young in this and it's just like, oh my gosh, what a blast from the past. So, you know, Stasi is like talking to her mom

and then obviously we sit down for dinner at one point and Dana and Jacks have a nice little talk over tequila shots that they do and Dana certainly doesn't seem to impress Rill or convinced or any of those things about Jacks even says she'll be tolerating him. Is all she's going to do. Yeah, she's like, I'll tolerate you. He's like, OK, sure. And then we go off to the very infamous Papagayos. Papagayos is the restaurant that we like to go to in Lake Arrowhead where we drink Italian margaritas that get us absolutely thrashed, as you can see. This is, I have called this one of my most embarrassing moments in all

of reality television. Believe it or not. Really? How drunk I was, like just fighting for no reason. I'm like, the steam punk glasses. I can't even understand what I'm saying. The words coming out of my mouth are not English. I'm just so beyond hammered.

You were certainly drunk at that point. Drunk. I was mean. I was annoying. I was even making my friends uncomfortable, like I was not in a good place. And Jackson's like, dude, you guys just need to break up, like, what the hell? It's kind of a vibe. Everyone's just going, just Kate even says, just break up, just fucking break up.

And it's like, why didn't we? I don't know. That's the question at hand, right? Could've showed what it is. It certainly is. And then the whole goodnight kiss fiasco. Now that's the question at hand, right? Could've shut her what up. It is. Certainly is. And then the whole Good Night Kiss Fiasco. Mm-hmm.

I'm like, don't touch me. Don't act like we do this. I want to sleep in the bedroom with my girlfriends. Katie and Tom start fighting. Katie's trying to stick up for me. Then Tom goes after her. And it's just like a total shit show. Yeah.

Katie shuts it down. Shuts the door on him. And that's it for the night. Yes, so then the next day, Stasi and Dana are talking basically, is it like, is he delusional? Right, yeah, is he delusional? Dana thinks it's time that Stasi make a decision. Like, to the lengths that Jack's is going, you got to make a hard cut, or you got to give another shot is what I took from it. Like decide now if you're gonna give him another shot

or if it's, you know, don't let him keep doing this that stuff to himself. Cut him loose or yeah. And then my favorite scene of the entire maybe series of Vanderpump rules, not even joking, is when we have eight-year-old Nikolai giving Jack's dating advice about Stasi. While they're playing video games, oh, it's so, so perfect. While you pull this up, babe,

I just want to say how, I don't know how perfect the non point and Nikolai so sure of himself. That's what makes it so great. He knows what he's saying and he's setting Jack straight. Yeah. So here's a little, here's a couple of Nikolai quotes for you. Jack straight. Yeah, so here's a little a couple of Niklai quotes for you. And I will not be mean to you anymore. And yeah, you won't be drunken stupid. Good advice. What do you think, Luke? Don't be drunken stupid. He also says, you know, be in love with one girl. Don't cheat. Let's get a tiny bit more from Niklai here. You have to stay stuff.

You have to be funny, handsome. You have to be handsome. You have to be mature, brave. But sure is tough for me. But I think I can do the brave thing. Here's the deal. You always cannot be sure of girls. She's just a human, not like a wool for snake.

Well, Sassy can be like a wolf sometimes. She can, she can be like a wool for a snake. Yeah, I'm glad we agree on that. She's kind of vicious. I know, kind of. Yeah, kind of. Like a lot. But, you know.

I mean, thank you, Nikolai, at eight years old. You just gotta be funny and nice. Don't be drunk. And she's not like a wool for a snake. I just gotta be funny and nice. Don't be drunk. And she's not like a wolf or a snake. I'll fucking love Nikolai. That was just my favorite scene. Literally I think of all the interpump rules ever of all time.

Can I just do the quick comment? I know you kinda wanna skip over it because they harp on it too much. This whole Sheena, it's her, you know, her tooth, dinner's her foot, now it's her eye, and Christina's at work for her. She says, I drink the sheena hate rate. Drink in the sheena hate rate exactly. I just want to get that in there. So I thought

that was pretty funny. Yeah. Just the sheena favoritism is over the top right now. Yes, it is a bit. And I don't know if that's because we were all out of town. So like Lisa felt bad for her or because it was because she was so close with Pandora or because she worked at Villa Blanca and Lisa maybe had a closer relationship with Sheena but it does feel like a lot of favoritism at this point. And next we have Peter, so manager. Peter Madrigal rolling in on a little Chuchu train with Tom Schwartz into the Lake Arrowhead Village. It's such a good moment. That leads to a really weird moment. Yeah, sure does. I mean, Santaval is obviously still upset about the night before. And yeah, I guess wants to get some sympathy from somebody on why you wouldn't give them a kiss or give them anything when you're saying

goodnight. Yeah, I don't know. It's hard for me to have sympathy because it's like if You're saying good night. Yeah, I don't know. It's hard for me to have sympathy, because it's like if, if, Santa Ball weren't who he is, I could be like, oh man, I feel like, and, you know, I know that feeling, and that's not fun to have like your significant other

be that way toward you, but unfortunately my sympathy has run out. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's on empty y'all. I think, you guys throw in there, there's so many illustrations that you don't stick with somebody if they cheat when you're dating. There's maybe a chance to get over it

if you're married and have kids involved and you're really working as a team together to get over it. But if you have no other ties, don't stay with your significant other if they cheat. Just don't have to mind. Yeah, that's probably, it's not gonna get any better. On some advice.

When Stasi's like in her interview bite, she's like, I'm just thinking like, is anybody else gonna make eye contact with me? Because Tom's kind of crying and everyone's like, oh, this is really weird, how's your bloody Mary? And she's like someone just like, look at me please. And then Tom's band, Pierce the Arrow plays at the Arrowhead Village concert, followed by Martha Davis

and the motels singing only the lonely, which I'm so glad that they could clear that song because that was like pretty fucking cool for all of us. But Peter was really funny in this scene too. I was so glad Peter came on this trip because he really is our friend. But Peter's roast about Tom. Oh yeah, Peter is just a breath of fresh air. I mean, saying how Tom booking him up there with women's clothing, women's makeup, women's hair products, might as well put some women's clothing, women's makeup, women's hair products,

might as well put some women's underwear on to complete the outfit. Right. It's so good. So you can't skip over, baby, as much as you want to, that you like, we're forgiving Tom after he played, you gave him a kiss and- I don't even know you're talking about.

I'm just talking about. I know you wanted to just skip over that, but we can't just bypass it. And so, you know, obviously that's like somewhat of a positive note for your relationship at that point. And then the last scene before it cuts out is- Wait, is it a positive point at my relationship- about my relationship? Then I'm like, I mean, I know he cheated, but like seeing my man on stage, it just doesn't get any better.

I don't think that's a positive point. I think that was a pretty low point for myself as team that I was like, look at him, play at the Lake Arrowhead Village, all is forgiven. Yeah, okay, that's fair. That's a best lake there take. I guess I just see you smiling and happy and it makes me happier than when you're all sad and distraught. Toshay, that's sweet babe, thank you. Anyway, the last scene is Stasi and Jack. Jack says he needs a hug. Ask for a little kiss. He steals a kiss from Stasi and that's how they're doing.

They look kind of giddy. Like they look a bit giddy in the scene. Because I remember Stasi telling us like, oh, he wanted a little kiss. So I gave him a little kiss and we were like, okay, and now where's this going? You know, she's like, I just gave him a little kiss. we were like, okay, and now where is this going? You know, she's like, I just gave him a little kiss. But when you're watching it back,

I was like, I don't know, they look a little smitten, smitten kitten. But as we know, it does not work out. Couldn't agree more. And the next time, as they do at the end of every episode, they highlight a fight to come between Kristen and Ariana. So everyone's look forward to that.

This will be the season that Ariana finally gets introduced. She was around for season one, but she did not want to film. So what do you have any overall thoughts, Luke, about these two episodes or what's to come? Or I mean, I guess we all know what is to come. That's why it has been a little easier for me for these first three episodes. But. Basically, I'd wrap it up saying, Jack's bold move seems to have worked

or be working pretty well. And Sheena may be having her day of reckoning coming, I'm kind of getting the feeling that something's going to come up with that. Her favorite isn't may come to an end soon. Hmm, interesting. If I'm going to be totally honest with you, I don't remember because I have not watched the season

in 10 years. So when we watch the next couple episodes, then I'll have a better idea as well. So I hope you guys, those of you who are watching along with us, we're literally watching just a couple episodes at a time. And for those of you who aren't, that have better memories than me,

I hope you're enjoying these recaps and a little bit of inside info. And I know I definitely know a couple of them that I want Katie to jump in on me with, but I think those will be more toward the end of the season. Okay.
