They have offices?
Yeah, and not only do they have offices, they took over the office of my former manager.
Whoa.
So, yeah.

Just take it.
Take it till I rent it.
I haven't divorced this wife yet,
so she's not taking it.
So just use it until she takes it.

Just to clarify
We're recording our podcast as normal

However, while we record it, we are going to put Periscope on so you can watch it live.

No, you're not being patronizing.
No, no.
I actually just don't explain anything.
In case anyone gets concerned that, oh, no, I have to have Periscope to listen to next week's episode.

It'll be on Periscope also, so that'll be really fun.
When we record, we're just going to be on Periscope together.
Yeah, and we'll try to field questions live during the show,

and the sun is shining we don't have to do a bonus episode we can just relax i'm not sweating out the
smell of frozen potatoes and goat cheese oh it sounds delicious i know talk about romance novels
i'm sipping on my coffee i'm already almost done with my coffee because
it doesn't matter. Let's just get to the podcast. I've got like a jug of
coffee and also found a good coffee
creamer. Coffee
made Nestle espresso
flavor with Star Wars R2D2
on the front. Thank you, everybody.
I've done it.
So your creamer comes from
Tatooine.
Best taste in cancer I've ever had, y'all.
Okay, so let us start with some Housewives.
Gossy up.
Yes, please.
Because, I mean, it was like below deck, and Ladies of London was great.
Okay, we've got Gossy.
Oh, my God.
Good shit going down this week.
So, Thomas Ravenel
is expecting baby number two.
Fresh from being punched.
Fresh from being punched in a bar.
As noted on Tuesday's episode.
Can you believe we have actually two
separate Thomas Ravenel pieces of gossip
for this week?
Thomas Ravenel's getting punched
then punching wombs
with his Ravenel's getting punched, then punching wombs with his Ravenel sperm.
You'll never guess who he impregnated being.
Tommy!
Is that Carly Fiorino?
Don't leave me, Thomas!
Thomas is, you know, he has to recognize that I'm going to be his wife.
And we have a family, Thomas, and I support you.
And if that's what we're going to do, that's what we're going to do, Thomas.
Thomas.
Sandy Duncan is mean to me, Tommy.
Tommy.
Can you believe he went back to the well?
I mean, he never left that well.
He's like, I'm not thirsty.
And then he'd leave the well and then he'd be like, I'm thirsty.
And then he'd come back to the well.
It's like you never really leave the Brita, do you, darling?
The Brita.
Don't even act like there's some sort of filtered water in that well.
You never left the garden hose.
That is not puttable water, Thomas, and you know it um he is he has knocked up katherine
calhoun once again and well her name isn't katherine calhoun is it the baby's calhoun
something but katherine wow this is a dysfunctional relationship and uh one that obviously does not
involve condoms or birth control because they are so dysfunctional.
He I feel like in his brain, he knows Catherine is not the future and that he should not be with Catherine.
Oh, but no.
Oh, man.
I think Thomas has seen his future recently and it didn't look as pretty as it once did.
And he's re-looking at the future again.
He's like, put on my great-grandma's fur, and I'm going to look at you as a different future.
A future with a fur that doesn't ever quite fit you.
I can't wait for all of Cameron's snotty little comments on the next season of Below Deck.
And Whitney, too.
Oh, man, They are going to be
chuckling up a storm.
Yeah, not that huge of a
shock. I mean, I guess it's nice in this day and age
to see people actually committed to each other.
That's nice. You know, it's like
they're having babies with the same
person. You know, that's kind of commitment
today. Yeah, yeah.
Good for them. Have your baby. What couple's
not dysfunctional you two kids
you have a good time and catherine please do not complain anymore about not getting child support
because now it's going to be like double the complaints yeah exactly i didn't get a check
and it's going to be like but why are you mad i didn't get a check but you already said that but
it happened twice and i know katherine it's called birth control
so if we hear any complaints about how you're you're left alone taking care of two babies and
thomas is out doing who knows what well guess what it's called birth control you shouldn't have
gotten knocked up a second time and he shouldn't have knocked you up you're both at fault don't
think that i'm blaming the victim i'm not even knocked up shaming my my thing isn't that she
even got pregnant i'm not no no i'm not suggesting you i'm think that I'm blaming the victim. I'm not even knocked up shaming. My thing isn't that she even got pregnant.
I'm not knocked up –
No, no.
I'm not suggesting you are.
I'm saying if she complains about it, though, it's like, well, you could have done something about it.
No, yeah.
I know what you mean.
But I just feel like it's not the – the problem with me isn't that she got pregnant in general.
It's that she got pregnant with, like, a guy's baby who she knows is not going to give her the money.
It's like, at least have some financial sense.
I don't expect our private parts to have any sense because I know mine can't think.
And vaginas get a lot more credit for thinking it through.
But let's face it.
I've never met an actual vagina that's thoughtful.
Come on, everybody.
Let's admit it.
Yeah, take that Eve Ensler.
That's right private
parts just basically don't think very much so it's up to it's up to you to look at your wells
fargo account go to that uh statements and accounts make sure you click through all your
build pays and look at the last time that shit was paid and then fuck somebody yeah Yeah. Yeah, this is going to be... It's a disaster, basically.
These two and their two kids.
I mean, Catherine,
really becoming a poster child
for daddy issues at this point.
And Thomas, becoming a poster child
for disaster.
And yet, and yet, by the way,
by the way, all those people
who were like, well, I would never vote for for Thomas Ravenel.
I bet there's like a good chunk of them who would vote for Donald Trump.
And that makes me mad.
And I base that on very little information, actually zero information.
But I just feel like there are people in South Carolina who turn their nose up at Ravenel and who are who are pro Trump.
And I'll tell you, I would prefer Trump, I mean, I would prefer
Ravenel over Trump. Ew, I wouldn't.
I mean, at least Trump, look,
Trump may be an asshole, but there's someone who
understands finances, you know?
Like that guy, yes, and you can say bankruptcy
and stuff like that, but... Bankruptcy and stuff like that.
But it's also kind of
a good
strategy when you have a bunch of
different companies under different LLCs that you file bankruptcy on when you have a bunch of different companies under different llcs
that you file bankruptcy on when you don't pay them back and file you know and like it may be
evil but it's not stupid thomas thomas is just stupid he is stupid no like donald wouldn't that
be fun he's done some dumb things but for the most part he's not an idiot he's just an asshole
thomas is stupid and an asshole.
If Rick Santorum and Ted Cruz can get into positions of power, then I say let Thomas Ravenel and his baby-making, cocaine-reformed ways get up there, too.
Why not?
Why not?
Let's mix it up.
It's like the movie Idiocracy that came out years ago that was about how stupid we're all getting.
Hello, we're part of it it we're on a show called
watch it crappens but anyway it's talking about how stupid the world is getting and the president
is a pro wrestler and it's really not that far off you know it's like a reality show star well
i mean people were people were shocked i mean it was a big deal i don't think we really realized
it but i think it was a big deal that ronald reagan was president remember back to the future
oh that's true martin mcfly goes back in time and and doc is like who's president he's like ronald reagan
and he's like oh well who's vice president like my element in a row or whatever he said
you know so uh yeah we aren't that far off we are not far off you're like historically we've
always been stupid if you really think about it we've always been a very stupid country now
watch it like hashtag americans against crains, which would actually be a blessing.
That's how we extend our listenership is get a hashtag.
Can I make a side note, by the way?
I'm a little fired up about something.
I'll be very quick because this has nothing to do with Bravo, but it has to do with a former Bravo guest of ours, a crappins guest.
There's a hashtag going around this week, nurses unite.
Have you seen that?
Yes. Oh, my God. crappin's guests there's a hashtag going around this week nurses unite have you seen that yes oh my god so you know why do you know the backstory about why there's hashtag nurses unite
well i'm very educated i read a tweet about it and somebody said nurses are mad at the view because
they said something about nurses uh being dumb on miss america or something exactly and that's
probably why that's probably what most people read, which is why people are just forwarding it
because nurses are outraged.
So what happened was,
former Krappen's guest, Michelle Collins,
and Joy Behar were talking about the Miss America competition.
Those two are going to get into some trouble together anyway.
They are going to get into trouble left and right.
It's actually hilarious to me.
But, you know, here's the thing.
So Miss Colorado,
for her talent, for the talent portion, she came out
on stage dressed as a nurse, because she is a nurse.
She had a stethoscope, and she
did a monologue that she wrote herself.
It was a nice monologue.
I thought it was very saccharine, but it was
also very manipulative, because she's talking about how
she deals
with this Alzheimer patient, and she
can't help him in certain ways
because she's like, well, I'm just a nurse.
I'm just a nurse, just a nurse.
And then one day she comes in and he's crying
and he says something to the fact that like,
you're basically, you're more than just a nurse.
That's like a nice thing,
but it's like treacly in the way
that some forwards are over email.
The point of the story is this.
Monday on The View, Joy and Michelle are talking about it,
and they kind of, you know,
they make fun of it in the sense that it was like
a stupid monologue, and it was
manipulative, because if you speak against it, you're like,
oh, well, you're speaking against Alzheimer's and nurses,
you know? So, of course,
hashtag nurses unite. I can't believe you think that
nurses have no talent,
they don't do anything, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And it made me so mad. I'm like, people just love being outraged they just love i mean listen we're a podcast where
all we do is get outraged but but at least we know what we're outraged about is exactly stupid
exactly because i actually saw the hashtag before i even watched the clip and when i watched the
clip i was like really that's it that's why people are mad? You know, people just, you know what?
Listen, no one was saying that nurses are useless.
Could you imagine anyone saying that?
Everyone knows nurses are wonderful.
No one would say that to a nurse.
Oh, stupid nurses.
They're like the saints of the industry, as they should be.
Oh, my God.
So it just, what bothers me is that someone started the hashtag.
Someone was annoyed that someone dared to make fun of Miss Colorado, which I'm sorry, Miss Colorado, that was her talent.
I think you can make fun of it.
It was like, I'm sorry.
It's not, it's nothing against nursing because you think her monologue is silly.
I'm sorry.
Why can't it just be against bad monologues?
You know, like, what are we going to be outraged that someone's being mean to terrible actors?
No, that's what we thrive on in this country.
Get your priorities straight. You know what? Like, everyone
these days is so sensitive
about being shamed. Everyone's like,
oh, well, you know, don't
fat shame me. Don't slut shame me. Now
it's like, don't nurse shame me, you know? And then
at the same time, then everyone goes and publicly shames
everyone else. So it's ridiculous.
So here's the footnote, and then
I'll be done with this non-Bravo rant. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, everyone. You can just's ridiculous so here's the here is the footnote and then then i'll be done with this this non-bravo rant i'm sorry i'm sorry everyone you can just fast forward that's
the that's the beauty of a podcast you can just move your little thing forward until i stop
yeah just give us a moment we'll be back to our own public shaming yes yes we'll be back to our
own it doesn't count when you're behind the couch desk. Yeah. So then yesterday on The Insider, I think it was The Insider or ET, Nicole Arbor, who we discussed on our –
Sorry, guys.
I'll turn it on to silence.
Remember Nicole Arbor?
She's the one who fat-shamed people on her YouTube channel and got kicked off YouTube.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
We talked about her on The Boney Baloney.
Yeah, now she really did go after fat people.
And she was really nasty about it, okay?
She's like, I'm not after the kind of fat people.
I'm after the really fat people.
Oh, okay, thanks.
So she, I guess, was on The View this week.
And so she told Entertainment Tonight, she was like, yeah.
So, like, Michelle apologized on the air.
But then backstage, she was just like, whatever. I have to apologize because people on Twitter are mad and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And she was talking so much shit about Michelle and, like, what Michelle was saying backstage, which may or may not have even been true.
And I was like, no, shut the fuck up, Nicole Arbor, okay?
You are basically, like, trying to be the next Ann Coulter at this point, just saying outrageous things to just get people mad.
I don't know.
The entire thing infuriated
me well it worked people feed off that shit you know it worked not only because some people agreed
with it but also because people were outraged and then people were outraged that fat people would
have the nerve to be outraged and then fat people were like yeah but i'm outraged because i can't
sit on a plane seat and then fat people were like like, yeah, I'm outraged too, because I should have bigger plane seats.
This is, you know, this is whatever, a disease or whatever.
And then everybody's such a victim.
I'm like, oh my God, if there's like a literal car crash outside
and somebody is bloody on the street,
everybody's just going to be too busy
because there's not even a real victim.
It's like, who do you even pick up anymore?
It's like ambulances.
That's why ambulances have started charging you
every time they pick you up because everybody's in emergency all the's why ambulances have started charging you every time
they pick you up because everybody's in emergency all the time finally they were like fuck this we're
charging for this shit okay yeah exactly and uh you know uh the reason why i found the nicole arbor
uh clip is because i want to see who some of the people were posting hashtag nurses unite and
there's this one girl she's like loving mother and and and
and wife and blah blah blah and then she's like fuck you michelle like we work hard blah blah
blah blah blah blah and then it's a clip and she posted a video on instagram of nicole arbor saying
what she said i was like you know what whoever you are lady you didn't even you probably never
even looked at the source of the original comment
and on top of that you're basing everything off of what nicole arbor says on et this is the problem
right here and i even wrote a comment i said i would take what nicole arbor says with a grain
of salt oh my god stop saying that girl's name i can't i can't even have that name in my because
i didn't even know the name and when you keep saying it it's going to stick in my head and I don't want that girl to be stuck in my head I know I don't but yeah people you know look I don't
know I we're just also frustrated with real issues that we're taking it out on other issues so that
we can yell and scream I know I know that I do it on this show I'll get mad at certain things and
go crazy and then later I'll be like maybe that's because of you know
being behind on my own bills that i'm mad about whatever yeah you know people feel marginalized
in general i mean so anyway look you know that was my rant i say harm with guns okay i mean no
i'm saying don't harm with guns harm with your words if you're going to be angry i mean fine
i think at some point we're just all going to be so desensitized to it that uh it's going to become fun to have a positive
you know to be happy or to just once we just all chill with each other we'll realize that
we're all the fucking same and we can all make fun of shit together like we don't need to be
so separate exactly and by the way i think if
nurses want to focus their wrath on anyone it should be on kim zolciak who makes their profession
who really puts a blight on their profession kim zolciak does not the woman of the view
oh god kim souls well i'll always have respect for her actually because of that to be honest i know
oddly enough me too and luann too because when when you actually that's your actual job, I mean, that's
not just, you know, the joke is always
like, oh, the sexy nurse, and then
she finds a rich guy or whatever, which
you know, I guess both of these
women could kind of be that stereotype,
but at the same time, they're cleaning up
blood and shit, and like
the people that they have to touch.
Including one day us?
Yeah, they touch a lot more people than the doctors.
They do the pre-screening and all that shit.
Yeah, they have to deal with all the shit, literally.
And so, well, I say, but, you know, they're so busy that they don't have time to, I guess, watch the actual clip.
But I don't know.
Not all.
I mean, obviously, it's not like all of them didn't watch the clip.
One was going to be mean to a nurse.
Come on now.
If anything, it's taking down a bad monologue. Don't be mean to a nurse come on now we're if anything
is taking down a bad monologue don't be doing monologues as miss america what are you doing
and if you're going to do a monologue don't make it about what like a sensitive great amazing human
being you are and you finally realized it and now you're in a ball again it's like i'm so sorry
pretty pretty privileged you know she she's she's she um she managed to find a way around having to sing or dance or
do puppetry so she could do a monologue which she by the way did not do very well it was like
watching a sixth grader do a monologue and she wrote it herself and it was like it was nice
it was nice but it was very amateurish i don't know i i i don't know if there's a talent portion
you should be able to critique the talent at the end.
Why is it okay for us to sit there and critique
her tits all night? And that's
not disrespecting nurses.
You know, why is...
I mean, people are ridiculous.
Give me a break. They are.
Anyway, back to Bravo. Talking about
getting outraged over
ridiculous things and people
who really make a difference in this world
let's talk about bravo let's talk about david's mistress just kidding so people are so mad um
about everything because uh i read cindy c cindy c on the case
posted uh something about david's mistress and everyone's getting mad because the shannon fans are mad that everybody's
talking about this when they're going through this very personal time like well yeah it's not
personal and private yeah so personal she's been talking about it on bravo i'm having an aries
party to celebrate david's penis not being in somebody else david's penis is not up in the
aries so let's have a party like shut, shut up. Stop talking about it, and then we'll stop talking about it.
How about that? Yeah, how about that?
How about that? Talk about a victim
parade. Oh my good.
Shannon is the type that would get up as
Miss America in a Miss America
pageant and do a monologue. And for that,
I would support.
Show that
nurse how it's done.
Yeah. Today, I would like to talk about David, my husband.
20 years ago, David and I made oaths to each other.
We said till death do you part and we would be true to each other.
But then David went and put his penis in another hole.
And since then, our marriage has been crumbling.
And I hope I win Miss America so I can
be first somewhere
because it's certainly not at home
thank you David
I would like to solve Brooks' cancer
I would like to cure Brooks'
cancer and David
I just want the world to have world
peace and I want all of us to get
along except for Davis' mistress
because she has rattled our family much the way as terrorists have rattled peace in the world
thank you please stop rattling thank you that's that's that's gonna be my motto when i'm when i'm
when i'm miss when i'm miss first lady of america usa universe one of the worst things i ever heard
was that dav David's mistress referred
to me as Rattlebones. And I thought,
well, that's a convenient thing to say,
Miss 30-year-old. And Donald
Trump is the judge. You're old!
Die!
Just die! I love the idea
that Shannon's monologue at Miss America
is just her rambling about David.
She just, like, I guess,
I start pageants
so this uh article of course this is a daily mail link and you know i love me some daily mail
because they not only go on 15 pages about one tweet but they will also bullet point it at the
top and then in the middle of the article they'll bullet point it again and then at the end they'll
bullet point with a bullet point they're like if you miss these bullet points up top there's
another bullet point about this bullet point and please like us on facebook yeah well at least it's
better than buzzfeed who will have the headline be like hey look at this incredible video of a
bear eating a fish and then you click on the link and then like first the bear puts his head in the
water and you have a still from the video of the bear in the river and then it says and then the bear sees a fish and then it's another still
and then the bear eats the fish and it's a still of the bear eating the fish and then it says

screen grabs just put the video up top will you i already know what happens to the fucking fish i'm
not watching this i'm not watching this It's a photo with a headline

They just do little gifs of the movie
So it's like you're watching the video
I am really ranty today
I am sorry everyone
We're talking about Shannon
We still haven't even gotten to the story
I honestly feel like And maybe it's why we still haven't even gotten to the story okay so the story
i honestly feel like and maybe it's because we've been talking already for five hours but
i feel like we've already read this story heard the story and seen this woman but i don't know
everybody's outraged so this is the woman who cheated with husband of rohc's shannon bidor
an assorted eight month affair and then befriended the reality startup probe for info
to break up the couple bullet points i'll just make it quick david bidor has been married blah
he became intimate uh executive meeting of an elite business club entrepreneurs has a job vicky
would approve i approve of the i approve of your mistress now you see there that's how to that's
how to get a third wife. Someone with a job.
I mean, come on.
Also, she's 43.
So you got to give David some credit because she's not.
43-year-old?
Shannon first suspected David when she heard him whispering on the phone.
Daily Mail has learned that Shannon and McMacken had become friendly.
Oh, well, hello, Misscmackin miss 43 or oh 43
please stop mcmackin on my man shy mrs mcmackin i think she is married actually uh they became
friendly after meeting at their daughter's after school basketball game shannon and david decided
to be open about the affair on the seasons real housewives a move they hoped would help other
couples and the woman is pretty.
She looks like Shannon.
She looks like kind of Shannon crossed with Shannon.
She looks like two Shannons.
Yeah. If you took Shannon and mixed her with a little Shannon, you get this woman.
If you took my last haircut and made it a mixture of this haircut, It would be two haircuts in one,
and it would be medium, and that's about her.
If I had the time to nebulize three times a day,
that's what I would look like.
David was having sex with the...
David was being intimate with the woman
that I was creatively visualizing myself becoming.
That's such a coincidence, Dr. Moon.
So anyway.
I bet she doesn't pee when she runs.
Fairs are terrible.
I mean, what else are we going to say at this point?
Yeah, basically, it's really not a news story.
It's just that he...
And David still had to fair.
Jenna's like, damn it.
Damn it, David.
Did you read that?
Oh, the negative thoughts. Did you read... I can't believe people it. Damn it, David. Did you read that? Oh, the negative thoughts.
Did you read?
I can't believe people are talking about this,
David.
Tune in Monday,
where I'll be talking to David about people talking about us after talking about the Daily
Mail Online at a party.
My favorite,
my favorite publication is the Daily Mail because they bullet point my 40 to 50 negative
thoughts.
David,
David,
would you like to bullet point something?
David.
At Daily Mail Online.
Will you please bullet point my thoughts?
Because they are taking over my life.
Thank you.
All right.
So let's get on to the show, shall we, Ben?
I think that's a wonderful idea, Ronnie.
Five hours in.
Five hours in.
We have to dive into the funniest show on Bravo right now, Ladies of London.
Ugh, this show.
Ladies.
Killing me.
There's a reason why its acronym is LOL, because that's all I do when I watch this show.
Yeah, this shit's pretty good.
It's amazing.
So let me see.
Where should we start?
Previously, a royal poor person, Caroline wore something with fringe on her boobs.
I don't know why.
I don't know if we have to do previously since we did already cover what happened in the last episode.
Well, it's just my notes, all right?
I say previously because that puts me in the mindset to talk about now.
Because we didn't talk about the fringy boobs.
That's weird.
And also the new Caroline. Okay. So that's what's coming up today yeah okay so julie jul
uh notice on the beginning of the show they don't care about names and casting because it's juliet
julie caroline and caroline that's what i thought too i was thinking that too i was like jesus
it's like the whitest people in the world.
I think they're going.
Jennifer, Jen, Jenny, and Julia.
Basically, this show is all about set collecting.
Okay, we got two Julies.
We got two Carolines.
Can we get a third somewhere?
All right, great.
That means we get five points.
Okay, we get two Julies and one Juliet.
Then we get six points.
Just not another Annabelle,
because there's something about the numerology of that name and she'll be crying ten times the amount.
I know. I love, again,
the opening montage of
this is what the ladies are up to and they're showing
everyone doing fabulous things and they cut to
Annabelle pouring herself some tea in her old lady
home.
She's like, finally, I can pour tea
again.
So yeah, she's pouring tea and then the new wacky one is making scrambled eggs for a dog and uh and it's both wacky that she's making scrambled
eggs for a dog and wacky that she's doing it herself i don't think that she's i actually
don't get the vibe that she's trying to be wacky i think she she's just her. What I did love is that she makes the scrambled eggs,
and then the dogs eat it,
and then she just is there on her knees staring at them,
sorrow, like, with just nothing but sadness in her eyes.
Like, this is my life.
That's how they look at you, Bean.
It's like a housewife in season five.
Yeah.
And Juliet's little opening thing.
They're rushing to get their kids out.
And her husband's like, bye for five weeks.
And she's like, honey, can you get me a new Chanel bag?
He's like, no.
He's like, no.
Click.
Slam.
Yeah.
He's like, we live basically in the equivalent of Patterson, New Jersey, except in England.
So, no.
No Chanel for you.
Yeah.
Rent first.
Chanel second.
Yeah.
You can't live in a Chanel bag, okay, Juliet?
And then Julie, poor person, royal, she's like,
Oh, God, I've got to feed the kids spiders.
Oh, my God.
Oh, it's so hard.
Get the spider butler and tell him he's breakfast.
I don't know why things like that crack me up,
but it's like lady feeding her dog
scrambled eggs i gotta feed the spiders or the kids will be mad god lady drinking tea yeah um
blah blah blah caroline to marissa's what am i talking about caroline goes to marissa's house
because marissa wants to electrocute her with some sort of taser spa treatment. That actually explains a lot about
Marissa. Yeah, it really,
really does. And they were talking about
the Thanksgiving situation, and then
the show flashed back to
Marissa's Thanksgiving first,
which looked so
stuffy and
boring. It was dark,
it was a dark room,
they're all in blazers,
and she's like,
I just wanted to thank everyone,
because my family comes for Christmas,
and not for Thanksgiving,
and therefore,
you honor my new American family.
Like,
I would like to thank you guys,
for being my new family.
It looks so boring.
Just like my family.
And they're all looking at her like,
what is Thanksgiving? Why are these potatoes
mashed under a turkey with juice on it?
We're the bangers.
We're the bangers.
Yeah, they're like, you're gross.
And she's like, I would like to
congratulate myself for having an
amazing year.
I have planted a tree, a social
tree, and this year I've learned to
climb. Shut up,
Marissa. Marissa's really annoying.
Then they show the Juliet
Thanksgiving at Caroline's, and it's basically
four people, also a little stuffy,
but at least it looked more relaxed.
But then Marissa's still all snippy about
this whole thing, and she's like,
I think Juliet chose the wrong social ladder to climb.
Oh, shut up, as if you're not climbing every single social ladder.
You're like a social ladder to stand under and then have, like, ten years of bad luck.
Shut up, Marissa.
Yeah, Marissa, you are basically, you brought up a fire truck, and you hauled out the biggest ladder you could find to rescue someone off the top of the social ladder.
Your ladder is, like like 10 times larger than
anything juliet has juliet has like one of those little things that librarians use yeah she's got
one of those step stools that people try and squat poop on yeah and everyone knows she's not going
far up it so they just sort of let her let her climb where she may but marissa is the one who
is really climbing the ladder here well she's bra's bragging about it. It's this weird sport they have.
That's part of their personality that they're proud of.
Some people work really hard to work out and look good.
Some people read books and try and get smart and get jobs and stuff.
But stupid people like her.
It's like, yeah, I've worked really hard.
Do you know how many parties I've gone to to get invited?
Finally.
I've made it.
Like, what are you talking about, you've made it?
Okay, I don't see you getting an invitation
to Buckingham Palace anytime soon.
She rented a hall, Ben. She rented
a hall. How dare you?
She rented Royal Albert Hall.
She got personalized
felt turkey hats for
everyone. She has arrived!
What was that party?
Did she say that
she has that every year for
her own party or that she sponsors
that Royal
Albert party thing? Is that her
party that she has every year? It's just her
party? She throws that huge thing?
No. I'm like, no.
Wrong, darling.
It's a concert.
She just rents out a box.
And so, you know, like a lot of stadiums have private stadiums.
Oh, shut up, Marissa.
She's making it sound like they gave her the Royal Ops.
Like, I finally made it to the Royal Albert Hall.
She's like, I invited 8,000 of my closest friends, except Juliet.
No, she invited.
What the hell is going on on this show?
And how rich is this bitch?
Listen, they got a box.
I mean, it clearly cost a lot of money.
They got a box, they rented out one of the private rooms,
that way they could have a little reception.
But no, she's not freaking...
She was not a promoter.
She's not Live Nation, okay?
Yeah, she's like Ticketmaster.
She's like, well, congratulations, she's like Ticketmaster. She's like, well, congratulations.
You've made Ticketmaster Maude.
She's like, well, now that I've arrived in London society,
I have decided to invite 30,000 of my closest friends
to run around the streets in what I like to call a marathon.
I would like to invite everybody to the gay pride parade
that I'm throwing for me and a few thousand of my closest gay people.
I would like to invite everyone to the Queen's Jubilee, which I am throwing.
Thank you.
The entire country is invited.
And since I've arrived at the top of London's social scene, I know that everyone in the country is going to arrive for this event that I'm throwing for the Queen.
London social scene, I know that everyone in the country is going to arrive for this event that I'm throwing for the Queen. I didn't know what a Jubilee was, so I got you guys hats that are
shaped like jujubes. I would like to invite everyone to the races. I have decided to raise
10 different horses that we're going to race, and everyone, including the queen, is going to come.
So thanks, everyone, for coming to my event.
Here's your horse hat.
I got it for you before you decided to ruin my life and throw a party on the same day as me
and compete with my paperless post.
What's the name of that super famous horse race in England?
The Ascot.
Ascot. In My Fair Lady, it's the ascot cavort yeah
thanks everyone for coming to my ascot event thank you for coming to the ascot cavort
um thank you everyone i want to i just want to i want to welcome everyone who came
from london and everyone who drove through my channel to get here from France.
Thank you so much for getting here.
I would like to thank all of my American formula for not coming because you're embarrassing.
And nobody invites you anywhere, even in Missouri.
So stop it.
I would like to invite everyone from across the world to use my airline, British Airways, to come visit London.
Thank you so much.
to use my airline, British Airways,
to come visit London. Thank you so much.
When this scene
began, this is going to be a 20-hour
podcast. When this scene began,
Caroline came into
the house and she's like, darling, it's
frigid in here. I was like, yeah,
that's how I thought you liked it.
No, no, it was the other way.
I thought it was frigid out there
and then she's like, but it's boiling in here. Oh, it did. I just heard frigid and I was like, well, I did that on purpose. I thought it was frigid out there, and then she's like, but it's boiling in here.
Oh, dude, I just heard frigid,
and I was like, well, there you go.
Well, either way, the point of the scene
is that Marissa is organizing a little party
at this Christmas carol sing-along,
and she's not inviting Juliet
because she doesn't want Juliet there
because she doesn't want the controversy blah blah blah. For a Christian
holiday, by the way, I'll point out.
Just what Jesus would have done. Jesus
is like, damn it. You know what?
People were giving gifts to each other on
my birthday. Santa Claus
is not coming to my party.
No! You know what?
Here's what I don't want. I don't want Marissa to come
and she's going to want to sing Deck the Halls and it's time for Joy to the World.
And it's just not cool.
So much drama.
No, not invited.
Could you imagine Santa Claus finally dying and going to heaven and Jesus is like,
Well, I had a turkey hat for you until you ruined my birthday by giving out your own presents to people.
Thanks. You know, I understand.
In a weird way, I
understand Marissa because Juliet
can be really annoying and if you just had,
if she's just done this thing
that's been really annoying, it's like, ugh, I don't want to
have to invite her. But
to something like that where you invite
everyone and then you don't invite her, it's mean.
The punishment does not fit the crime.
What you do is you just don't invite her to drinks next time you go out with two or three people you know yeah
but at least give her at least we have to give her credit for not being passive aggressive she's just
being straight up aggressive like that wasn't a passive aggressive it was aggro yeah um we're
very into that confrontation later but the when they showed the clips they show a flashback of
the thanksgivings as you were saying
and hers was terrible and then juliet's was so uncomfortable because she's at caroline's house
like that's not fun caroline's like we've stuffed fantasia uh the assistant is now dead and we are
eating her enjoy it someone feed me this with a fork and juliet's like yeah just like at my house
back home where we would sit
on the couch all day and i'm butting our pants yeah i dare you to fucking sit on her couch and
i'm butting your pants exactly that's what i was gonna say is that it definitely did not look like
the thanksgiving that juliet had envisioned caroline and her sister-in-law are just sitting
there staring at juliet it's like valentina the other plates valentina turkey but julia is just as much of a
social she's not as good as it at it but she's just as shameless so it's hard to feel bad for
her too because she's just oh of course she's so uncomfortable but it's like well yeah but i'm in
a thanksgiving in a bigger house so i win like congratulations you found a bigger house to borrow
at least we didn't see the whole thing
obviously but at least you knew there was an option to go sit on a couch at some point whereas
at freaking bumpkin it was 30 people in a dark room huddled around a tiny table with marissa
congratulating herself okay well maybe that was how she grew up. That's true. Let's not just knock everybody's traditions.
I know.
She's like, hello, hi, mama.
Dod.
Dodder.
Okay, so the big thing is that Julia's not getting invited.
Caroline's already annoyed because Caroline knows she's going to be stuck in the middle.
And she said, I'm going to have to be dealing with this for the next three months, which is her way of saying, oh, fuck. This is what the storyline is going to be like the whole season, and I'm going to be in the middle and she said i'm gonna have to be dealing with this for the next three months which is her way of saying oh fuck this is what the storylines could be like the whole season and
i'm gonna be in the middle right yep she literally said that it's like oh god i have to talk to you
three months of the year and this is what i have to deal with pauline get me out of here pauline
take the shock therapy pauline pauline call fant Fantasia to call Valentina to call Vanessa
to send you an email
to remind you to tell me
that I'm over this. I just don't want to do it.
Meanwhile, her assistant Rainey
is like, alright, mum,
let's get you out of this
electric fuck therapy, mum.
I got bad news, mum.
Got bad news, mum.
You're going to be in a fight between Marissa and Juliet for the next three news, Mum. Got bad news, Mum. There's going to be a fight between Marissa and Juliet
for the next three months, Mum.
Found something while cleaning your chimney sweep, Mum.
Going to have to fire some people, Mum,
before the fight gets too deep, Mum.
Crocodiles are apparently all dead.
We can't make that crocodile pose for the queen's nephew's
mother's cousin's friend that she met at that party one time, mom.
That's fine.
All right, then look around here.
I'm eating a bowl of sugar candy.
All right, look around here now.
Delicious.
All right, look around here now and tell me who to fire.
You look like you're going to cry.
I think I am.
That's disgusting.
Get out of my sight.
All right. That's later. Get out of my sight. All right.
That's later on the episode.
So good.
She's like, leave.
Do not cry in front of me.
Leave.
So then the next thing we see is Annabelle taking Julie and Marissa to a gallery to see Sebastian Godin.
Oh, good.
Okay, it's a big white room with cords everywhere literal electrical cords
yeah everywhere this is like i'm already happy because it gives annabelle an excuse to be high
and mighty and artsy fartsy and all that fun stuff um so they get in there and then i love
annabelle goes into immediate name name drop mode She's like, we are at an art show,
which a good friend, Emilio de la Moreno, has invited us to.
Oh, shut up.
Emilio.
Emilio.
We're here.
We're at an art show.
Alexander loved art.
I learned something from art.
For example, today I saw one cord that was plugged into another cord
which also had another cord
plugged into it. Apparently
it's an extension cord.
You know, Alexander McQueen
loved things that used
electricity. He would always
insist that all his machines
had a power cord. So this
exhibit here that my good
friend Emilio de la Marino
invited me to is just exquisite.
If only Alexander was here,
I could finally tell him that he could use his lamp
and his sewing machine at the same time.
One of Alexander's most favorite things in the world
was a power strip.
Apparently you could have put in up to five different
machines into a power strip and they would all work this is something that my good friend emilio
de la marino told me about power strips learn about it erinobel is so droll and she has three
modes she's crying about herself or she's crying feels feeling bad for herself and yes
breaking her spine
is bad okay I'm not saying it's not
but I'm just saying like crying for yourself
slash dead people
or misbehaving horses slash
or she's name dropping
and talking about how famous she is
or she's being an absolute
cut fitness to everybody else
which she was in this.
And I loved it.
It was amazing.
By the way, don't get it twisted.
We love this shit.
When she said, my good friend, Emilio de la Marino, I was like, yes.
Yes.
Have you ever thought of hanging an extension cord from your ceiling along with 50 others?
No!
extension cord from your ceiling along with 50 others.
No!
I like that she
throws a teacup at the wall.
Get out
with your battery-operated
machinery.
I was the first one
to inspire Alexander to throw
tea at the wall.
When Sebastian Gordon told me that he'd be
hanging cords from the ceiling
into the wall, I thought,
this is classic McQueen. Don't you agree?
Good friend, Emilio de la Marina?
So, anyway, one thing
that I also noticed in this scene as they walk in,
Julie,
the thing with Julie is she's kind of
astounded at everything.
She's so self-deprecating
that everything is like a wow moment for her. She's like, oh my God, there are cords. Look at me. Of course, I'm stepping right in the cords. I can barely even walk in heels. Oh, and now we're going downstairs. You know, I can barely walk on stairs. I have to take escalators everywhere. I mean, I'm a lady and I don't even know how to walk downstairs. This is just crazy. There's a downstairs. I never even knew there was such a thing as basements. I mean, I'm a lady. I don't even know about basements. I mean, it's crazy. She's like, hi, I'm Julie.
Nice to meet you.
Oh my God, I can't even believe I'm here.
Where am I supposed to pick up the trays?
I'm supposed to serve, right?
Oh, this is me.
I don't even know I'm a lady.
They don't even burn the hot chocolate here.
I mean, it's crazy.
I'm a lady.
I don't even know how to not burn hot chocolate.
And here they are serving hot chocolate,
perfect hot chocolate everywhere in a basement with cords.
And I'm in heels.
I mean, this is crazy.
No one is mad at me for burning hot chocolate here. It's just weird.
I don't know how to take it. I don't know how to take it. Some people just can't be hugged.
It's just so amazing being around Annabelle. I mean, she's like aristocracy for dummies,
which is perfect because I'm a total dummy. I mean, I don't even know how to read. So I
wouldn't even know how to read aristocracy for dummies. I mean, it's crazy. I don't have time
to read. It's just kids, kids, kids. Spider feed the spider.
Do you have any to-go boxes?
Is there any food here?
Oh, God.
Is that a corn?
Don't jump on the corn.
Oh, Jesus.
This place may be proof.
What's happening?
I don't even know how to pose for a camera.
I mean, is this how you do it?
You have to teach me.
I've never even seen a camera.
They can actually take your soul and put it onto a picture.
That's crazy.
Is this going to steal my soul?
Annabelle, you have to teach me everything.
Oh, this is so great.
They taught me about pictures.
I'm still being painted at this damn, the damn castle.
It's taking forever.
Is that what I look like?
I've like literally never even seen myself before.
I'm a lady.
I've never even seen a picture of myself.
Do you know how hard it is to maintain your weight for four years to get one painting done?
It's hard.
It's hard.
Oh, Julie.
Love watching Julie just being a stressed mom.
And I'm also loving the dichotomy of like royalty.
Basically, you run a public hotel.
Yeah.
Royalty.
Make sure the janitor cleans the cafe in front of your house.
It's like poor thing, you know.
I don't know.
It's like you marry royalty and then it's like you're a worker bee i know thing poor thing poor thing so um can't
wait to watch you spiral out of control on tv so then i have caroline inviting caroline to
scandinavian christmas uh i don't remember i'm looking through my notes i put
julie doesn't know to have pic taken in front of cables
exactly so funny oh and then uh no i have to say this too because this is some funny shit when she
when uh annabelle's like i'll show you how to take a picture. And she's like, oh, she's a fashion icon.
And then Annabelle stands there still.
And then she tilts her head very slowly to one side.
And then tilts it very slowly to the other.
It's like a slow-mo, those stupid iPhone slow-mo videos of someone trying to clean their water.
You know, like, water out of their ears or whatever.
Yeah, exactly.
That cracked me up because she threw her head back. And then she puts her head forward in this, like, could they water out of their ears or whatever? Yeah, exactly. That cracked me up because she threw her head back
and then she puts her head forward in this, like, crooked way
and she puckers her lips and gives this very serious
I'm a model, I'm aristocracy for dummies, Alexander, look.
And then she throws it back and throws it forward,
throws it back, and then afterwards she's like,
okay, I'm done now.
I inspired Alexander to design the bobblehead
and originally it was supposed to move at this rate but unfortunately companies in china don't
give you that option when the car is moving i was the muse behind duck lips it happened when we're
at balmora and we were hunting and the dog went and got a duck. I came back with a duck, and before the duck died,
I thought, wow, how photogenic.
When I was a wild partying youth,
I played a pinball machine like a wacky girl,
and I got a tilt, and it gave me the idea.
Thank you, pinball machine.
I miss you, pinball machine. Come back to me, pinball machine. I miss you, pinball machine.
Come back to me, pinball machine.
Alexander!
Rock and roll.
Rock and roll.
There was one time when it was afternoon tea,
and I decided to have some English breakfast tea in the afternoon.
It was so rock and roll.
I took a sip and it was hot, and I flung my head back.
I thought, my lips are burning
and my head was back
and my lips were puckered
and I thought, that is art.
When I'm ready to jump back in the scene
and I'm completely healed
from this monstrous, horrific thing
that's happened to me,
I plan on eating a bowl of Fruity Loops
in the evening.
Watch out. Watch out.
Watch out,
rock and roll. You're about
to be reforged.
Fun time.
I was about to put some
clotted cream onto my scone
and I thought I heard a noise. I put my head
forward and I thought, that is a great
pose.
Rock and roll.
I'm still suing the American
company PBS.
Apparently there's a large man
shaped like a bird
who has stolen
my pose.
From Wondery, this is Black History For for Real I'm Francesca Ramsey and I'm Consciously what do most people think about when they hear the words Black History Rosa Parks Reconstruction
MLK February Black History Month exactly exactly there are so many stories of Black History Month. Exactly, exactly. There are so many stories of black history that we just are not
really talking about or thinking about,
especially outside of February.
And we are about to flip the script
on all of that. Because on this
show, you're going to hear a little less
In August 1492,
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
And a little bit more.

he told me all about rock and roll.
Snuffle, yeah.
I inspired Alexander to design Snuffleupagus.
Snuffleupagus only got his distinct look
after he met Alexander, after Alexander met me.
Before, he was just a regular donkey,
and who needs that?
Right, Alexander?
And then came the birth of Snuffleupagus.
My good friend Emilio de la Marino
once told me that the fashion industry
has never been the same
ever since Snuffleupagus came around.
And we all know
that I was the muse to the muse for Snuffleupagus.
The fashion industry
changed the day the normal
donkey walked into
Amelia's showroom,
tripped over a cable
art installation into
a pile of dust bunnies,
and then was born
Snuffleupacle.
They wanted to name Snuffleupagus. They wanted
to name Snuffleupagus Annabelle, and I said
no, do not
call that beautiful
donkey Annabelle.
Call him
Snuffleupagus.
Oh, God.
I love it.
So stupid.
Okay, so now finally we're going to meet.
Go ahead.
No, you go.
I was going to say, now we're done with the second scene of the episode.
No, so anyway, so Caroline, I forget what's happening in the scene,
but basically Caroline invited Caroline to Scandinavian Christmas.
And by the way, as soon as she did that, I wanted to Scandinavian Christmas. And by the way,
as soon as she did that, I wanted to go
so badly. How do we get to go to Scandinavian
Christmas? Can someone invest?
Airports, flying,
people, humanity,
different... I want to go to
Scandinavian Christmas.
Couch desk.
And I love how Caroline
Stansbury describes Caroline Fle fleming she's like well you
know she's grown up in castles you know she'll tell you to come casual dinner and show up in a
ball gown she's crazy i'm like that sounds great to me i love her yeah another episode of rock and
roll ladies of lond. She's like,
she's crazy.
She came to a casual dinner in a bog.
She feeds her dog scrambled eggs.
She eats the main dish with the salad fork.
And Caroline saying people judged her so harshly because she didn't stay
home.
She didn't run the family castle.
She went on television.
She had some self-respect
and went on America's
model of, I don't know what it's
the top of, but it's on the television.
America's top Danish model.
I had Valentina watch it once
and she said it was quite lovely.
Well, I love that Caroline Fleming is,
she is very, I mean, she's,
what am I trying to say?
I like that she is, she does ooze wealth.
You know, even though she's sort of,
quote unquote, of the people a little bit,
she is not.
Like the first thing we see of her at home,
she has a friend named Bjjorn alls come over to
visit and then her friend pia is also visiting and i just love this woman has a friend named pia
and a friend named bjorn and pia is the most lethargic blase person we've ever seen on bravo
she's like yes and she lifts a lazy arm that's like a wilted flower to shake someone's hand. I love everything about Caroline's world.
Is that the sister-in-law, Pia?
No, the sister-in-law is Caroline Stansberg.
Oh, okay.
Pia is just a friend.
Oh, God, you see, I'm going to have trouble with this.
Pia is just a friend who flew in.
She's like, oh, Pia, I'm so glad you were able to fly in.
And Pia's like, ugh, thanks.
Like, yeah.
And Pia's like, thanks.
Like, yeah.
Yeah, she's one of those rich ladies on Bravo who's, like, trying to be, have the personality of, yeah, one with the people. I don't think she's trying to, I honestly don't think she's trying to have the personality.
But she's not obnoxious about it.
I think that's just her.
You know, when you are so wealthy like that, you don't need to put on airs.
That's just her.
Yeah, but there's something about going on reality
shows that i think that there's a certain desperation there oh yeah whoever it is so
anybody on a reality show is automatically flawed in that way oh they all any anybody who does any
kind of entertainment or whatever has some kind of need for attention right yes so she's been rich
and stuff but she still wants that need for attention.
And when you need that from the people,
they like it when you're one of them.
And she's just like, I don't know.
I don't know what you want to say.
I do obviously like her security,
but I think she seems pretty self-possessed.
I love when she and Pia and Bjorn went upstairs
to decorate the Christmas tree.
And she just goes, so shall we just?
Like she doesn't finish her sentence.
She's like, shall we just?
I like how she, I was actually thinking in the part
where Caroline was like,
she is one of the finest women in the country.
She has been on television or whatever.
When she was doing that, I was thinking,
this is the first housewife that we've really ever had that hasn't had that opening scene where they do all that you're like
who the fuck is this and then people talk later this one she was announced kind of last time and
this time i was like where is she and then they finally showed her and the first thing she says is
well i am from uh she said something like i'm from an aristocratic family uh but the first
thing but i don't want the first thing to tell people when i meet them is that i'm royalty i'm
like bitch you just did like you literally just did and that's what made me like her because i
was like oh so she's trying like her thing is she's trying to be one of the people, but she's just going to fail miserably.
And that's going to be amazing to watch.
Yeah.
You know, I love that in Housewife.
Shall we just?
Shall we just?
I'm just, I'm not even wearing shoes at my party.
It keeps me grounded.
Yeah.
It's like, yeah, because we're on the ground.
You know, I like to feel the ground it
makes me feel grounded that's why they call it grounded you know i learned that in denmark
i just love bath i just got in from paris and it's very grounding i just got in from paris
literally at 4 p.m and now i need to cook cheetos yeah well anyway so so before we get into that jumping
ahead a little bit um so we have so caroline f is gonna throw a scandinavian christmas party
and um so now the people are getting ready and julie guess what julie is wearing a red dress
that was lent to her by annabelle. And that dress is not just any dress.
It's an Alexander McQueen.
Poor Julie.
And Annabelle thinks she's being hilarious.
But I know what you're doing, Annabelle.
You're putting her not only in last season, but like, I don't know, how many seasons ago would that be?
She's like, would you like to borrow my 11 seasons ago dress?
Alexander made it.
She's like, oh, my God.
Oh, God.
Alexander made this?
Oh, my God.
Of course.
I can't believe it.
Thank you.
I don't even know who Alexander is.
I'm a lady.
I don't even know who Alexander is.
Is this Alexander the Great?
This is designed from Persia?
Wow.
Oh, my God.
Do you know Alexander McQueen?
Is that like the Queen of McDonald's?
Who is it?
Who is it?
Oh, look at Wade.
My kids love McDonald's. Do you get freebies on Happy Meals? That's that's what i'm asking i wouldn't do that i'm not a climber i'm on a castle i'm royalty but do you think i could meet him do you think
you'd introduce me to alexander mcqueen annabelle drops her teacup i cannot believe you just said
that um i have to say just because it's alexander mcqueen does not mean it's the best dress for julie i did not
think it looked great on her i thought it looked kind of like a sagging red prom dress one of them
even said like one of the ladies like oh are you going to prom you look like a gift bag for a wine
bottle darling what are you doing um when she put on that dress i'm just like do i look beautiful and
she she's pretty and everything and her body's banging oh my god but that dress there was it's
one of those dresses that are designed for the runway model who's like a ruler and has nothing
on them and she is she has that kind of body but there's like a lit there's two darts sticking out
from the rib cage you know it's like alexander was trying to make
it look like a model actually had a rib cage it was like kind of falsifying a rib cage it was weird
it was it was very unflattering on her i thought it actually made her look skinny in a bad way it
was almost like it drooped too low in her cleavage and it sort of exposed a lot of her skin and
there was like a lot of sun damage on her chest it just sort of did it lot of her skin, and there was a lot of sun damage on her chest. It actually made her look old,
and it also wasn't totally appropriate for the event
because it was a little bit too...
There was too much skin showing,
and not like a, oh my God, shocking,
but it looked almost more summery
than like a Christmas party outfit.
Well, this girl married a royal,
ended up being a minimum wage worker at a public space, then has to go to a party with someone really famous, and then wear clothes that don't fit her that are hand-me-downs from like 11 years ago that you know smell like mothballs.
I mean, it's Annabelle.
Yeah, rock and roll mothballs.
I put these in a plastic thing with tape and air condensing and mothballs it's like oh you
marinated it gross well I love that um as the party as the Scandinavian Christmas was gearing
up Caroline Fleming was very sure to mention that um she's like well you know uh you know I don't
necessarily know all the people coming I don don't know the Americans, but I know
they're friends of Caroline's.
They're very important to Caroline, so I want to welcome
them into my home. I was like, okay, that was her
hedging her bet to say,
if these people act crazy, it does not reflect
on me, okay? These are not my guests.
I just want everyone to know these are not my guests.
They're not my friends, everyone. I want you to know.
I don't want people,
I don't want fans on the internet blog
for America's Not America's Model of Tops
to be writing me hate mail.
I do not know these women.
That's it.
Scrambled eggs, dogs.
I am making an American hamburger for my dogs.
The end.
If they don't understand my metal bench
with the little mountain in the middle,
well, then that's on them as Americans.
I'm sorry. I saw this
and I thought, this is a bench no one
will understand. And then I
took off my shoes and I paid for it.
That's how I do things.
There are no rules!
Nothing says free spirit
than a bench that no one can sit on.
And of course they show the gay guy,
like rubbing the hump of the bench.
Like,
I like that.
That's nice,
isn't it?
I'd like to have a nice sit down on that one.
She literally bought a homeless proof bench for her living room.
You know how they put the things in there?
Yeah.
So you can't fall asleep on the bench.
She's like,
no one will be falling asleep in my living room because I want them to leave.
I have to find them.
I have to leave right now.
So they all get there and they're sitting around.
And then Caroline F., so condescending, she's like, oh, for the Americans, I got some Cheetos.
Would anyone like any Cheetos?
And she literally passes around a bowl of Cheetos.
I'd like to celebrate the Americans.
passes around a bowl of Cheetos.
I'd like to celebrate the Americans. Americans,
I've got Cheetos and I've gone into trillions
of dollars in debt in the past ten minutes.
Welcome to my home.
Please, Tim, take off your shoes. It's not for you.
Here, on the left
here, in this bowl, we have some crackers and on the right
we have some cheese that I sprayed out of a can.
I feel like that was the Dr. Jackie
test on Married to Medicine. Now,
do you want to eat the bell pepper
or the pizza?
You decide. Like, hard
test. And Juliet's like, wait,
was Juliet there? Who was all excited
about Cheetos? And Caroline,
oh, Cheetos. Oh, she's
just crazy.
Look at her, not wearing shoes. Oh, I'm
telling you. One of the finest women in
London. Bonkers.
You heard it here first, folks.
Juliet's like, I just wish that she had served
Fritos instead of Cheetos, because Fritos just remind me
more of home, and you know, Christmas, it's like, it reminds me
of home, and I don't get to be at home, so the Fritos are
like, home. I don't know. It would mean a lot
to my family if you had Frito pie.
So, like, I don't know,
like, I'm not telling you what to do, it's just like, you're bossy, and I want Frito pie. So, like, I don't know. Like, I'm not telling you what to do. It's just, like, you're
bossy, and I want Frito Pie. So,
I mean, it would mean a lot to my family
because, like, my family's sad. My husband's
gone. My husband's gone. Where's my husband?
Do you have Frito Pie?
Marissa shows up with a bag of Doritos
with Julia's name on it. I just want you to know
these are the Doritos I bought for you
before you decided to go to Caroline
Fleming's Christmas party instead.
Why are you so bossy?
I never said I like Fritos.
It's like, oh, shut up, Juliet.
Yes, you did.
Just so you know, just so you know, here's the bag of combos that I bought for you before you decided to go to your own Scandinavian Christmas.
Oh, so I'm a terrible person?
Is that what these Fritos are saying?
Was there not a bag that said
Fritos for horrible people? Why don't you go buy
that bag? I'll eat them
because I'm a horrible person. That's what we do, right?
We eat chips that are labeled horrible?
All I'm saying is that
I butchered a reindeer for our
Scandinavian Christmas slash
late birthday party for you
and you decided to trade up.
So here are your combos.
It's my fault that Santa Claus beats Rudolph the Reindeer.
That's what you're saying?
Oh, great.
Kind of, yeah.
I killed Christmas.
So you're blaming me for giving your people poison blankets
and taking over your country?
Is that what I did?
Is that what you're saying?
All I'm saying is that I have made a Scandinavian meal with herring and berries and prunes.
And if you don't want to have it, that's fine.
Here are your sun chips.
And prunes.
So do we cut to that part yet?
No, no.
I love that part, though.
Oh, my God.
The two idiot Americans.
I just love it because this show is just set up to make fun of americans and of course it makes all people look like dodo birds but the
americans always take the cake oh my god i mean they make americans look bad even for a bravo
show and that's saying something yeah so no what happens is first they're all they're waiting around
for dinner to be served and they're all mad that caroline doesn't actually have any help because
it's like she's taking too long in the kitchen i mean i can't believe it she doesn't
have any help it's ridiculous we're so hungry but this is what i do i do everything myself i cannot
have people cooking for my guests i do think i my family wouldn't do that we're royal i loved at
this point by the way that or maybe it was a bit later but annabelle she's in the kitchen she's
holding a dog on one hand and a bowl and the other and the dog starts to slip away she's like oh no
and she puts the bowl down to like rescue the dog and hoist it back up i'm like bitch just let the
dog fall to the floor it's okay it's a dog it's okay no don't drop your dog it was like whatever
mac and cheese shit you're making for your guests, because you know. It's like everyone, yeah.
You know she says she cooks, and then she just cooks for the party so she can say she cooked,
and then everything's like, you know, a lettuce wrap with Cheeto.
It's like one of those top chef challenges where they have to get stuff out of the snack machine.
Yes.
It's like Americans, we love this.
Well, so either way, Caroline served up goose, which, by the way, looked delicious.
But there was a controversy because Juliet won't eat goose.
She eats duck, but she won't eat goose.
I'm sorry, but I'm in charge of my life, and I'm in charge of what I eat, and I'm not going to eat things I'm not comfortable with.
And that's just like, that's what I'm saying. And that's like the stand I'm making.
That's a stand. There. There.
I said it. I said it. There. I did it. I did it.
There. I did it. I won't eat venison because that's Bambi and I won't eat goose
because that's like Mother Goose.
And you know what? I like fables. So therefore
I will not eat Mama Goose. Unless
it's the three little pigs because I mean
like, you know,
the big bad wolf didn't blow down
the walls of bacon you know it's just the pigs it's different it's different listen listen goose
was a wonderful fighter pilot for our country and i will not all right i will not eat him
he already got screwed over by dying halfway through that movie. I will not screw Goose over.
That's it.
I said it.
I'm doing it for my family.
And it's very important to my family.
So that's it.
I said it.
It's important.
It's important.
Martha Stewart-esque.
Oh, yeah.
That's the part where she drops the dog.
She's like, I'm very Martha Stewart-esque.
And she, like, screws the pooch.
I'm like yeah pretty
much can we talk a second about caroline fleming's dinner table something very weird was going on
you know what i forgot to talk about um last call i'm just kidding i was trying a tuesday morning
that's what i'm trying to think of i forgot our tuesday ad. Have you ever been to the store Tuesday morning? It's
the one that Lauren Bacall used to do ads
for back in the day.
Go to Tuesday morning. Make
sure it's a Tuesday.
Thanks, Lauren Bacall.
Anyway. What are you talking about?
This is why I brought it up, everybody.
I'm not on drugs. Heavy one.
I'm not on heavy drugs.
I'm bringing that up because this looked like a Tuesday morning commercial, and anyone with a Tuesday morning in their town knows what I'm not on drugs. Heavy one. I'm not on heavy drugs. I'm bringing that up because this looks like a Tuesday morning commercial.
And anyone with a Tuesday morning in their town knows what I'm talking about.
It's a closeout store.
And that was all Tuesday morning.
It was like a whole table.
It's like when you go to Dillard's or whatever and you're looking for what to buy.
And the dining room table has every dining room thing ever.
It's like five runners.
Yeah.
Well, this table was strange because it's a big dining room
table and in the middle of it there were these two poles and then a glass shelf of things it was
like a shelf that you could put all the centerpieces but the centerpieces were elevated so you could
see under it and then another shelf above that for more stuff so what happened is you have a table
that has this giant structure right in the middle and while they
can see each other through it it's so bizarre it looked like people were eating on two sides
two sides of a wall and i would be making i would be making juliet so upset if she heard this but
that would be like me going to a rich person's home and actually feeling at home because my mom
is a caterer and a chef and she is obsessed with that
stuff you know like a party how to make a nice party and how to plan a table and all of that
stuff and she has the she's always got these gigantic centerpieces the dining room table
she's like we're just gonna gather and have dinner as a family and we're not gonna have a tv and
we're gonna have 10 people over and we're going to converse. And then people are looking behind these wrought iron tree things with fake diamonds dripping off of them.
It's like, uh.
Well, it's one thing to have centerpieces.
You can't even pass the food, mother.
It's one thing to have centerpieces.
But it's another to have this crazy structure.
It wasn't even, I mean, it wasn't a problem.
They were able to see each other.
But I thought, what a very strange design feature.
I am questioning caroline
fleming's taste in certain aspects between that bench and that table people love big shit on the
table when they're throwing a party i don't know what it is i was like mom why are you making this
like into the woods i can't fucking see anybody like didn't lauren conrad and her rival intern
get into trouble once because they put on too many centerpieces at a teen vogue dinner party
am i crazy am i crazy you know anyway i have to say i have a little bit of self-respect right now
i don't know that answer i just seem to remember from season one lauren conrad had a rival intern
and the rival intern was always doing everything correct and she wanted to put all these center
pieces on the table and lauren was, I don't know if we should.
And she's like, no, trust me.
And then Lisa Love came in and was like,
why are there so many centerpieces?
And Lauren had to be like, well, sorry.
And like, Lauren, why did you do this?
Lauren's like, I learned to never listen
to anyone's advice about centerpieces.
So during this dinner, we learned a few things.
We learned that Caroline Fleming has an Eddie Murphy laugh.
Which I can't even do.
Yeah.
It's like a seal.
But what I also loved was, I mean, Caroline Fleming, she is really fake too.
Which I love because she was sitting next to Juliet.
And she was talking to
her about marissa and she's like oh you know she loves you so much i'm like what what are you
talking about caroline fleming and you never even met her she's like you know i don't know who
marissa is but i just know she loves you so much you guys have to work this out i don't know a lot
about this woman but i've been getting evite her for years. And I can tell you this much.
She's always commenting on your invites and you're always commenting on hers.
And where I come from, that's called tacky because no one uses the Internet to send invitations.
But in my heart, I think it's beautiful because I'm one of the people.
Freedom.
Oh, darling, she loves you so much.
Just give her a shot, won't you?
Darling, you know, you're both just American simpletons.
There's no need to fight. Just be friends together.
You can't fix stupid, darling.
Just embrace that you've found another one.
Hug and become one.
Darling, neither of you will be truly ever welcomed into our circle,
so why fight? Just be your own circle together.
Darling, she loves you so much it's home it's so much more difficult to ignore you when you're two blobs
of nothing but if you're one it'll just be so much easier to walk away darling please make up
with her she needs you you know we just can't keep having all these different events with americans
we need you both to be in the same room so please make up with her please so then um uh oh there are these two guys that were there and apparently one of them liked
caroline which was hilarious because i thought there were two gay guys and even julie thought
that too she's like well isn't he gay like no and she said well he arrived with you i mean
i mean straight guys like put on tuxeses with velvet on the collar and then arrive with other gay guys.
You guys, that's crazy.
I mean, the world is changing
so fast. When I had
kids, I mean, you could tell a gay person right
away, no, I mean, they all look the same.
They all look just like the straight guy. This is just nuts.
Do you need a place
to stay for your gay wedding? Because I have a great
rental with a cafe out in the front.
You will love it. It's called Mapperton, and we have a continental breakfast with a cafe out you will love it it's called
mapperton and we have a continental breakfast i think you would really love it i make the hot
cocoa but be warned it doesn't always turn out right oh my god i'm crazy i'm a lady i love your
gay slang when you keep saying hey lady i just think oh my god stop calling me lady i'm a mother
you know i'm just a mother just a regular person just like you you. So then it's dessert, and it's a dessert with orange and fruit.
And Caroline, much like me.
I have peeled this orange myself, unlike anyone from my family.
It's a Scandinavian orange.
It was difficult to figure out at first, but, you know,
biting my nails tasted much better for about an hour, darling.
What's the difference between a regular orange and a Scandinavian orange?
The Scandinavian orange has the slashes and the O's.
And there are two O's.
Orange.
So,
the best part is that Caroline does not
eat fruit because she was traumatized
by eating too much fruit in boarding school.
And Caroline Fleming refuses to hear that. She's like, taste the fruit. Taste the fruit.
Taste the fruit. Well, I would be stabbed in the face if I hadn't done it. So I did it. I took a
tiny bite and then I kept it in my mouth so I could make Valentina chew it later and tell me
what it was like so I could report back. Valentina, chew. Pauline, swallow. Valentina, chew it later and tell me what it was like so I could report back. Valentina, chew.
Pauline, swallow.
Valentin, make sure Pauline is swallowed.
Chew.
Pauline, open your mouth.
Open your mouth for Valentina. Valentina, look in the mouth.
Valentina, do you see any fruit?
Rainier, tell me
what Valentina says. Oi, mum.
She sees no fruit. Very good.
Should I fire her, mum? Don't cry. Oi, mum. She sees no fruit. Very good. Should I fire
her, mum?
Don't cry. Do not cry.
Mum, it's not enough orange.
Mum, I would have eaten your orange.
No, Rainier.
The orange is for Valentina.
Now, Valentina, you've eaten the orange. Now, eject.
Eject. Eject.
Valentina, chew the orange.
Slowly. Slowly.
Pauline, make sure Valentina's eating slowly.
Slowly.
Oi, Mom, she's chewing fast, Mom.
Pauline, Renia says she's chewing fast.
Uh-oh, Mom, I've got bad news.
A seed from the orange was backed up inside Valentina.
It won't be out before Christmas.
That's it.
Fire a poor person.
Pick one.
I don't care.
Mum.
Mum.
Should I invite my friend Nathan to come eat an orange too?
No, Rainier.
It's for Valentina and Valentina alone.
Polly, make sure Nathan doesn't come.
All right, man.
Someone posted on our page,
I think Laurie Ann,
who we're talking about every week these days,
because you guys,
the shit you post is so funny.
I think it was her.
And if it's not, I'm sorry, whoever.
I just didn't give credit to you.
But this shit is so funny.
They posted Karen from Will and Grace.
God, that show was good. It was basically, Karen was basically a ripoff of Ab Fab, just didn't give credit to but this shit is so funny they posted karen from will and grace god
that show was good it was basically karen was basically a ripoff of abfab which is really what
i'm always doing not lisa vanderpump my favorite show in the world but karen was so funny they show
her coming down the stairs and she's like i can see you and all the maids scatter approaching
and all the maids run away. Just for her to pass by.
So,
so good, and so on point, darling. Yes.
So then, uh,
they're all eating dessert, and then Caroline's like,
alright, everyone, get out.
She's like,
in about ten, are you enjoying your food
now that it's taken an hour and a half for me to cook it?
Good. You're leaving in ten minutes.
Julia's like, whoa, whoa.
You know, first she doesn't have
someone to serve us, and now we have to
leave early? It's a weird dinner party.
But I'm gonna be nice to her,
because she's rich and she knows a lot of famous people.
So I really like her. And she's like,
do you enjoy the goose?
Yes, I enjoy this goose very much.
It's not making me want to kill myself and cry to my family on the phone.
Oh, that's wonderful, darling.
I love her.
We're new friends.
She's like, can we Instagram this and tag Melissa?
Marissa.
Marissa.
Oh, Marissa.
How dare you pronounce my name like an American?
Okay.
So then...
So now that this dinner party is over,
we then go to the next event,
which is Marissa's Christmas carol sing-along party.
And Marissa...
Oh, she's so annoying.
She's like,
the holiday seasons in London is the is the social season like you know you
said that last season when it was summertime when she said oh you know what when it's racing season
that's the season and you have to go to every party every weekend she said there are certain
parties in london that you have to be at and if you're're not, I don't know who you are. I know. Shut up.
Don't accuse Juliet of being a social
climber when you say insufferable remarks like that.
That is just terrible. If you're
not at the parties, if you're
not at the important parties, I don't know who you are.
Bitch, please
be quiet. Yeah. Forever.
Please take a seat. Yeah.
Please take one of the many seats
at the St. Albertbert's whatever it is
was this the part where oh yes this is the annabelle part i'll let you get there yeah you
know i keep jumping it no no because so what happens is people start showing up at this suite
for this thing and annabelle arrives and marissa's all perky and then annabelle just basically cuts
her down in the interview she's like well you well, you know, I guess I would call,
I guess I would describe Marissa as upper aspirational middle class.
This cloudiness, this happy like a cloud.
I was like, who's happy like a cloud anyway?
But she's like, this happiness, this cloudy, this fun, fun.
Oh, let's be wonderful and happy together this you know it's like
middle class aspirational aspiration it wasn't just that she said oh she's aspirational
aspirational middle class so so good which was actually kind of wonderful on the heels of marissa
being like if you're not at this party, then I don't know who you are.
Yeah.
It's like the nicest way of saying
trying too hard she could muster.
Yeah.
And also correct.
Yeah.
And so I love how everyone shows up
with their whole family and...
Oh my God, we're in my box.
You guys, look over there.
You can see where Princess Diana sat.
Oh my God.
Tell your friends.
Tell your friends.
To me, I don't know.
Maybe if I was... Was I crazy? But I don't know Maybe if I was crazy
But I don't think I saw Caroline bring her kids
I was like, wow, she really hates her kids
She won't even bring her kids to a kids event
Valentina
Sing to the children
Sing Christmas carols to the children
While I go to the Christmas carol event
I'd like to thank you for inviting my wonderful assistants
To this concert
They are in the trunk with the children and cannot attend.
Pauline, get on tambourine.
Valentina, sing.
Silent night, as in children should be seen, not heard.
Marissa's like, I love coming to this party because at this party we have
Royal Albert, you know.
In America, we just have Fat Albert.
Like, America doesn't get it
well poor juliet wasn't invited so she and her husband had to have dinner in the rain
oh her poor husband she's like yeah i wasn't invited i mean whatever i don't care it's just
like i mean honey like she was mean i mean he well, you know, here's what I know. A little thing happens.
And then you get really mad about it.
And then you guys send each other really mean emails about it.
And then the story gets really huge.
And then I read about it in the paper.
And then I'm embarrassed to go to work.
And then I don't come home for six weeks.
And then when I come back, suddenly we're having dinner with these people again.
And she's like, I love his advice.
Oh, God. He's just like, I listen to him. You know, like when he gives me advice,
I'm going to talk to Marissa. And I was like, uh, is that what he just said? I don't even know.
I think he was just telling you he's going to be away for six weeks. Yeah. Read it however you need to. Exactly. So then after all this silliness,
then we are at,
Caroline's at her office and she's getting some bad news
from Rainia.
Before she even gets the bad news,
Caroline,
being the warm-hearted soul that she is,
she just goes,
fucking hate Christmas.
Going to drown myself in my jelly tots.
Those dots were hilarious.
Sitting there with, what are those?
What are those called?
They're like jujubes, but they're covered in sugar.
They look like gumdrops, sort of.
So funny.
You know, the Brits have all sorts of crazy candies.
We were never allowed to have this at boarding school.
Now I eat them every second of the day.
Yeah.
I hate fruit, but I like fruit in candy form.
What can I say?
I'm a paradox.
Yes, yeah, mum.
Yes, yeah.
I got bad news, mum.
Got bad news, mum.
The watch.
It's not coming till after Christmas, mum.
Your husband was trying to order you a jujube tree.
Unfortunately, it won't be grown till they've invented it.
She's like, all right, then fire someone on minimum wage Alright, go on then
Go on then, just do it, shoo them away
Alright, you know what, spray something on
Have Valentina spray something onto my window wall
So I don't have to look at it telling
Bad news, mum
They're out of Cadbury downstairs
No more chocles for you for the rest of the day
Oh, that's bad Go fire Valentina, then hire her again they're out of Cadbury downstairs. No more Chocol's for you for the rest of the day.
Oh, man, that's bad.
Go fire Valentina, then hire her again.
Valentina, Valentina,
I want you to go to every pharmacy in all of London and find as much Cadbury as you can
and then throw it in the Thames just for the fun of it.
Poor, terrified Valentina.
But it's Christmas Eve, and I don't know if I can get in there. Technically, that terrified Valentina. But, but it's Christmas Eve and I don't, I don't know
if I can get in there.
I don't know.
Technically,
that was Pauline.
Oh,
which one?
That was Pauline
who was like,
wait a minute,
mom,
we have,
we have a lot of orders
and a lot of them
want to be overnight
next day
and it's just,
it's just a lot
and we may have missed
one or two
so it's kind of a,
you know,
disaster.
Yes,
disaster,
mom,
disaster.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Valentina,
go take Pauline down to the stock room and do what you know what you have to do to her.
Oh, Mom, I'm so sorry.
Is there any way I can make it up to you?
Valentina, get on Pauline now.
All right, Mom.
I'm going to help Valentina.
Renia, no.
You stay with me.
Oh, Mom, but I want to take Pauline down to the stockroom and do you know what to her.
No, I need you here.
No, all right, Mom.
Anything for you, Mom.
Bad news, Mom.
The store we ordered the crocodile milk to strangle Pauline with can't deliver until next year.
All right, that's it. Just find someone without any shoes or food and then fire them.
I don't even care, Tony. Just go down
on the street, find someone who looks poor and just tell
them they're fired. Take a picture of it and
come show it to me, Tony. I'll make Valentina look at it.
Bad news, man.
I figured out who's been eating all your jelly
tots. And her name rhymes with
a schmoline.
Alright then. I think we all know what to do.
Valentina, get in here.
We need you to do something
for us. Take Pauline
down to the stockroom and tell her the true value
of a jelly tot. I love
that woman. Oh my god.
Okay, so we're like an hour and a half
into this podcast, so we need to
choppity choppity
okay? Ronnie, you look like
you might cry, okay?
Go away.
I just might.
I might.
I might miss.
Get out.
I will not look at your face while you leak.
Get out.
Don't be a regular Pauline in front of me, all right?
Cry on your own time.
All right, ma'am.
No more crying in front of men.
Don't be a Pauline forced to take the stairs, darling.
There's water coming out of every pore on you.
Get out of here.
I don't want to look at you.
All right, Mum.
Feelings.
Disgusting.
Pauline, Pauline, get over to the river and fling yourself into it if you're going to cry all day.
All right, Mum, I'll make sure she does it.
if you're going to cry all day.
All right, Mom, I'll make sure she does it.
Oh, poor, poor Juliet.
We'll have to drive home over her poor person bridge and possibly have the sight of another poor person
flung into it, just floating along.
All floating and poor.
Poor Juliet.
I'm going to throw her a party
on the same day as someone else's party is.
Speaking of Juliet,
so Juliet and Marissa decide to hash it out gonna throw her a party on the same day as someone else's speaking speaking of juliette so juliette
and marissa decided to hash it out uh at some place called like retribution and sons or something
like that and um retribution and sons so so basically it's unlike 10 of the year yeah marissa's
like wow pumpkin i have a place called pumpkin so marissa they're trying to hash
it out let's speed it up i'm gonna babble about nothing i know i'm trying i'm trying to i know
i know you're trying to i'm trying to get to the end of the episode but i have shannon bedore's
face in a sombrero staring back at me from our watch what crap happens page and i don't know
so okay i'll get through this scene i'll just go through this scene really quickly basically
julia i mean uh marissa was saying like, well, you know, I made you a Thanksgiving
thing and a birthday and then you do something else.
I did it for you.
I did that for you.
I did it all for your birthday.
You asked me to have a birthday party for you.
And I was like, okay, I'll get you a cake at my Thanksgiving party.
And then you acted like I did nothing for you.
So then Marissa, she just changes it.
So that makes me a terrible person? No, that's Julia. That makes me a terrible person? Julia. So that makes changes it to, so that makes me a terrible person? No, that's Julia.
That makes me a terrible person? Julia, so that makes me a
terrible person? That makes me a terrible person?
Which is not what Marissa was saying. Marissa
was saying, listen, I did something for you
and you kind of disregarded
it. Oh, well, great. Well, when the waiter
comes back, I'll order a bag
of horrible person Fritos and I'll just snack
on those, okay? Because that's what awful people do.
Yeah. So, I mean,
truth be told, from Juliet's point of
view, it was like, well, you volunteered something
without really me saying, can you do this?
Whatever. That was last week's
controversy. So, at the,
basically, where they came to,
was Marissa saying, look, I feel like I put in
a lot of energy into our friendship, and it's not really
fulfilling me much anymore. And Juliet's like,
yeah. So, then my favorite part was when they they came to realize well our friendship has changed
julia goes well it's good that we cleared the air whether it's bff or just f and marissa's like f
yep julia's like oh that was so awkward because juliet kept trying to fight and marissa was just
breaking up with her she walked into the restaurant marissa's just like texting pretending she didn't see her walk in
it's like oh i didn't see you uh-huh and then she turns around julia looks like she's gonna go in a
corner and start sobbing you know and marissa's just back on her texting in her terrible like
felt hat that doesn't match her jack her coat mean, shut up, Marissa. You're such a disaster. You're acting
like such a snob. You're not matching.
So just stop. You can't even match.
Stop it. It's going to be great
because the best reality seasons
usually stem from a friendship
going awry.
And not from a fight. Not like a
quad of Mariah, a quad of Lisa Nicole.
Gigantic fight which feels fabricated
and then you know
then the whole rest of the season they hate each other it's usually that there is a rift in the
friendship and things are awkward and over the course of the season things escalate so fingers
crossed well yeah classic housewives trouble is not anything real it's like one hurt feeling
that but it's also relatable it's also relatable because It's also relatable because, you know, when you when friendships do change, when you have like someone that you're close to, and then you kind of go through a friendship breakup or someone pulls away or you drift, it really is this gray area of emotions.
Because unlike a relationship where you can say, you know what, it's not working out, I'm leaving you where it's kind of like, oh, it's over with a friendship. You don't really say that. It almost feels strange to say our friendship is over or whatever.
It's like, it's too formalized.
So you just go through this weird time where you were both, you're on the one hand, you're
trying to resurrect it.
You feel like if I just put some time in, we can get back to where we were.
But then you have all sorts of resentments too.
Cause you're like, well, they've moved on without me or they do this or this that you know it's a whole weird space and i think a lot of us have
gone through that which is why when we see that on the housewives or any reality show i think it
always leads to really compelling seasons oh you're so nice about it i think it's just so fun
to watch delusional uncommunicative bitches like lose their minds over nothing i think it's so
funny like juliet because it's not even
they're both social climbing idiots all they care about is the social status of who they're hanging
out with at the time so to be losing that's an act of war when you say like i'm not your friend
or we've changed status that's you know for them that's like an actual act of war and juliet's
the typical one who causes all the shit and goes
oh well i'm just a horrible person now oh so everybody hates me oh that's great it's all my
fault and then she's all victim me about it and then slowly loses it and then meanwhile julie
is like yeah i mean let's face it they're just like they have a competition and i think juliet's
really upset and she's jealous because marissa came to this country and she knows everybody i mean she's at all the parties i mean she's made it i was like
oh my god listen lady not getting stuck in a fucking public space working as an apartment
manager doesn't mean that you can't still, you know, do anything in life.
Leave your house.
Leave your house.
I know.
Poor girl.
So anyway.
That's not making it, darling.
All right.
It's like she's made it.
She doesn't have to burn any chocolate milk.
She doesn't have to make mac and cheese.
What does she do?
She's made it.
That's it.
I'm going to go to party class, and I'm going to learn how to pose,
and I'm going to wear dresses that don't fit me,
and I'm invited to all the best parties in town, and then you'll all see. Then you'll all see. I'm going to learn how to pose and I'm going to wear dresses that don't fit me and so I'm invited to all the best parties in town
and then you'll all see, then you'll all see.
Hi, Coco.
So let's go from upstairs to downstairs,
which means...
Oh, how British have you been?
Let's go from ladies in London to below deck.
Or we can just rip it off
and talk about Downton Abbey.
Just kidding.
Let's... Wait, can we pause so I can get some water?
Oh, sure. All right. Let's, wait, can we pause so I can get some water? Oh, sure.
All right.
I can probably pee as well.
So we'll be back in five seconds,
which to us is going to be a million years.
All right, we're back.
Peed and wadded.
Wadded and peed.
I'm drinking my water because what happened was
I was going through like a post-coffee withdrawal thing
where I started to feel like strange.
I'm like, I need some water.
Oh, no. Great story. Great story. post-coffee withdrawal thing where i started to feel like strange i'm like i need some water oh no great story great story well i want you to talk about that crash for the next 10 seasons alexander all right so low deck below dick yes all right below dick love ya rocky can't take it gonna jump off the boat thank you and well yeah what'd you think
so the episode began with uh donnie he quit he's like well you know i can't work with these people
you know like you know it's just not the right sort of boat for me like shut up donnie he's so
delusional he's like what i'm gonna work for someone who won't let me back dive off a boat
what kind of person would i be if i worked some for someone like that's ridiculous i mean this guy like an engineer and a captain have to be
best friends on a boat like you're not the engineer he i mean hold that 30 fucking times i know
somebody walking around with secret service like you're not the president stop what are you doing
i mean he really did say how am i going to work for a guy when he's going to give me a hard time for doing a backflip into the water
I think he just answered your own question
you shouldn't be doing a backflip into
the water that's why could you imagine like
if your caterer and your
caterer jumps into a swimming pool at a
at an event that's not what you do this guy's
an idiot and also last week
I don't think we talked about this but she's like
when did you start working out
you work out so much.
And he's like, yeah, I work out because I got in a motorcycle accident.
And ever since then, I've been obsessed with my body and working out.
Like, get a car.
Like, what are the muscles going to do?
Like, get a fucking car if you learned anything.
My God, it's not an L.A. fitness, darling.
You need to be in a Suburban, all right?
Well, no one really cared that Donnie fit.
Get rid of him.
Yeah, get him on the tender and
speed his ass out of here i'm done with him i'm not gonna yell at poor people for the rest of the
episode darling not fired ones anyway connie was like you suck anyways and i liked emil he's like
i don't believe in quitting good for you emil good for you so anyway um so rocky was talking she's boy crazy i may be skipping things my notes were
actually very sporadic well not much happened i mean the main thing that happened was they still
have the same guest like how long do we have to see this queen like he has two his face is two
different colors at this point he's got it looks like he's wearing not a beard but you know in cartoons how they don't give them
actual hair beards they just color them in so it's like a different shade than your face it's that
what is that i don't know it's like a spray tan beard it's weird stop it it's weird it's weird
but um but the next thing i have written down here and we may go out of order here because again i
was um i was not being diligent see what happens is if i sit
and watch my laptop i write a note about every single thing that happens which is why we spoke
about ladies of london for five hours but if i sit and i just have my phone and i just jot little
notes then i have like nothing oh yeah well then why don't i just uh i'll just read notes and then
when something sounds fun we'll just stop and talk about it you go through the notes and then when it
coincides with mine.
But I think mine actually is pretty much next to that. Rocky talked about how much she likes Emil.
Yeah, no.
So we're swimming.
So Dawn's gone.
I'm deleting Dawn, all right?
And it feels amazing.
I feel like I'm getting rid of a really bad co-cabin.
Be the Captain Lee of this part of the podcast.
You steer the ship.
On his way out, he's trying to get sympathy from all people, Kate,
because she's his friend, but he's trying to talk to Kate.
And he's like, yep. Well, you know, I said I quit.
And she's like, well, you know,
sometimes it's better to know that you've just lost and to go home.
What are you going to sit on the baseball field all day? No,
that would be sad. Pathetic. Bye. Bye now.
This was the closest that Kate ever came to being warm and fuzzy.
She's like,
well, you know, I think it's good that you found out now that this is not the boat
for you and you can go off and sail
and find something else to do with your miserable life.
Okay, bye. And Amy's like,
what? Don't quit.
Oh, Don.
I feel like every time there's a cute
man around me, he runs away.
I didn't even get a chance to have a crush on him and have someone else give him a blowjob.
Yeah.
It's not because I changed my bangs this morning, is it?
Because I didn't know if it was going to work.
Does it work?
Do you like it?
I don't know.
I mean, I don't care.
I'm my own woman.
What do you think?
I decided to put a conk in my hair this time.
I think it's a nice accessory. What do you think, Donnie? a conch in my hair this time i think it's a nice
accessory what do you think donnie oh he already left i found the conch in the sink and you know
i mean in the bahamian culture you just do not leave a conch in the sink it's not what you need
so i'm wearing it i decided i need a brooch so i put a big conch shell right on my chest hey Donnie what do you think about the Donnie
he leaves on that boat going to shore
I really wanted to shoot
Donnie my conch
oh damn it
here I am conchless and alone just like always
I'll tell you what
you know couldn't learn a lesson
worse if I just skipped school
Amy
so Amy's adorably sad love her in a lesson worse if I just skip school. Amy.
So, Amy's adorably sad.
Love her. Kate's
wise to know when you blah, blah, blah, blah.
He's gone. Delete him. Delete him. Valentina!
Delete!
Alright. And then Rocky's like,
oh, well, there's one
less penis!
Jesus, Rocky. And this is when Rocky starts talking about
the guys that she likes
right to connie okay of all people so she's taught so it's like one desperate for dick girl talking
to um a semi-subtler yeah desperate for dick girl talking about how there's less one dick
and she's like yeah but i mean i don't know like i mean he's really at. I mean, Emil, like, he's had so many chances. He just
doesn't know how to book the
gig. You know what I mean?
It's like he's auditioning
and he's dancing.
And I'm like, spirit
fingers, spirit fingers. But he
just won't sink his 16
bars. You know what I mean?
Yeah, she's
like, what I liked is that she says that she likes a meal
she's like i really like a meal because he's nice i'm like no you like a meal because he's hot
nice just be shallow like the captain is nice okay you ain't fucking him you fucking the hot
guy with skin exfoliation okay don't front but then she's like but you know the thing with him
is that he's young
and immature like uh i believe this is a pot calling the kettle black situation as she does
jazz hands on the bow of the ship as she wears an annie wig in her confessional it's a hard knock
yacht this life it's a hard knock yacht there's always uh a musical that these shows remind me of
and this one it's just annie with her It's just that child acting, you know?
It's like, okay, Pepper, we get it.
You're strong.
Like, did you literally just walk on with a sledgehammer and hit Annie?
Did you, Pepper?
I'm so annoyed because I thought that when I came onto this boat,
we were going to be reenacting Anything Goes.
I could just imagine the director from the dinner theater where I grew up doing shows greg taylor hey what are you doing up there pepper it's not about you pepper you
realize you're doing kristin but he literally uh no one from the dinner theater in el paso is
listening right now i'm positive but that's literally him he was so tired all the time
that his head he was this like 400 pound guy
and his head would just rest on his shoulder like totally sideways like his neck couldn't even hold
it up it was like a person sleeping on his own shoulder and he would just sit like that all the
time you can't and one of the leads was kristin she was kristin monson she was always the lead
in the shows and stuff but he would yell at people all the time and it just reminds me of that and of course that was me i wasn't pepper but like i was a pepper in
this story it's not about you pepper okay it's called annie not pepper god i'm glad that your
parents are raising you to know that you're special but you're not here okay get in line
the name pepper is inherently funny my art teacher in elementary school is named pepper
crowfoot it's not great pepper crowfoot i love pepper i love mrs crowfoot um so uh yeah so
anyway i'm supposed to be reading notes to go faster and i'm not okay yeah and shame on you
for making me fantasize about kristen from vanderpump rules running a dinner theater
because that is just too funny of an image for me to ignore yeah well i'm not going back to that
table i don't care places please places curtain in five it smells like uh salmon's been eaten i
smell salmon burps that means it's five minutes, people.
I would like to welcome everyone to the York, Pennsylvania Community Theater production of Into the Woods.
A dinner theater. The only place that Pepper can be the most popular person in Annie.
People ask for her all night. Can I have some pepper? Please welcome to the Victorville Community Theater Dinner Theater Workshop, Pepper.

I mean, I love everything Kate does.
Between Kate and Caroline Stansbury and Annabelle, I mean,
these two shows really have us covered on the bitch front in the best possible way,
in the best meaning of that word.
And Kate, her costume is that she gets into into a full-on submarine outfit.
She's like, I'll do what you want, but I'm not going to mess up my hair.
Wasn't she something phallic?
No, she just got into this orange underwater deep-sea diving.
It looked like she was going to explore a mile under the ocean to find those electro electronic light up fish um real dumb yeah this
whole diving contest for dean i was like what is this big brother what is this like a competition
i can't with this come on show make a fucking effort okay eddie eddie dressed up now eddie
dressed up as like a stereotypical mexican in terms of he put on a poncho and a sombrero and a mustache.
And then they played Bravo played his music.
I was like, I think this might be offensive.
I know.
And Dean's like, you're fabulous, Alfredo.
You've got my boat.
Heather and OC is like, oh, look, there's Alfredo.
I was just on alfredo's facebook
he's diving off a boat that guy can really do anything
so one of our listeners one of our listeners curtis curtis is hilarious love you curtis
curtis is like listen guys i know you guys don't like heather but you i mean she had a totally benign
interaction with alfredo and you made her seem like the devil and you're right we did but to
be honest it wasn't really to make her seem like the devil it was just like a funny it's like a
funny character observation yeah i can't apologize for anything regarding heather i just and you know
what it's not even like i hate like she's a horrible person yeah it's a it's just funny just a stereotype
of the rich entitled white lady look i've been a waiter my whole fucking adult life okay and
people like that i just know them so well those people who are like oh yeah i know ronnie because
they're like hi how are you waiter oh my god tell me wait before you take my order how are you what are you thinking i don't even
think that heather was being well obviously i think it was just a line it's just that it's
just that attitude i don't i don't i don't know that's sometimes it's funny to graft an idea onto
a character and just run with it because we did it with all the women it wasn't just heather but
anyway um but yeah you're right love you kurtz so then
they have the diving thing and then there's going to be an award ceremony that night uh okay did i
skip stuff no no i really don't care like this diving thing i refuse i won't talk well the thing
that was funny about the award ceremony is that they uh they needed a meal to dress up like a
greek god and once again kid's like yeah he'd be a great Greek god, you know,
because he has a great body, chiseled features, and a brain made of stone.
So good.
And she's so shady.
I mentioned this last week, but she's saying,
well, a Greek party is actually perfect for Don.
What's his name?
The gay guy.
Dean.
It's perfect for Dean becauseks like sheets and grapes i'm like you know that that is
a party about dick sucking just say it it's like the greeks were the first people who were sleeping
with young boys and calling it recreation so toga party it is yeah uh yeah the the toga party is fun
it's just a diving contest i was like no so the toga party is fun. It's just a diving contest. I was like, no. So the toga party, the most interesting thing to me was Emil kind of getting so insecure because they wanted to use him as a piece of meat.
And he's like, oh, we'll do it, but only for their job.
I'm like, shut up.
So he gets in his toga, and I guess he has love handles, so he's paranoid.
Listen, my favorite thing in the world is an insecure gorgeous person
yeah especially a man a man that's perfect and gorgeous but it's like i'm fat oh my god i got
it's great i got like a mental boner just watching that like just i i just want to save that scene of
him feeling fat and then using the toga to cover up his love handles and then standing there awkwardly
in his hands. Dying.
I know.
So cute.
He was really covered up.
It was.
And, you know, you could tell he has insecurities.
Because later, like, the next thing that happened was, you know, after Dean and them, they all, they got off the ship.
There was an issue with the tow line.
There was drama.
Dun, dun, dun.
Maybe you should have let Dawn tie it to the side of the boat.
Yeah, with a sticker.
And then they left and they got a big tip.
I've got bad news, miss.
Miss?
The tow line.
The tow line.
The tow line.
I should have been there.
I should have been there.
Ah, the tow line.
Ah, guess what?
Call the tow line up to my office.
Not following the rules.
Tow line, I'm going to have a work with it.
Here's how it works on the boats, kid.
Yeah, so then Captain Lee's like, all right, everyone. the rules tow line i'm gonna have a work with here's how it works on the boats kid yeah so
so then um captain lee's like all right everyone uh everyone's staying on the ship tonight i don't
know we gotta turn over the we gotta turn over the yacht so then but then emile decides he wants
to ask rocky out on a date so he goes up to captain lee but i love how i said you're gonna
steer this recap and here i am steering it you're I mean, look where I steer us into every time a ditch of crazy.
Like, what are you going to do?
We're going to be here for 30 hours.
So Emil goes up to Captain Lee to ask for permission to take Rocky out for dinner.
And actually, Emil, it was actually so sweet.
Emil was like, so can I take Rocky out for dinner?
Can I take?
So can I?
Can I?
And Lee is like, oh, you want to take her out? And he's like, can I? May I? So can I? Can I? And Lee is like, oh, you want to take her out, huh? And she's like,
he's like, can I? May I?
So can I? May I?
And he had this big smile on his
face, and Captain Lee
said yes. Captain Lee's been very,
he's been very nice to this crew.
Like, if they ask for something, he's like, well, I guess.
Because they ask. That's all you need is
respect, you know? Exactly. So
a meal. Chain of command. So a meal and rock, Because they ask. That's all you need is respect. Exactly.
Chain of command.
So Emil and Rock, you're going to go out on a date.
And so they get dressed up.
Emil looks super cute. Really, really cute.
They go out.
That guy was in an unironed
badly patterned shirt with a sweater tied around
his neck. Come on, Ben.
It was cute.
What if I get cold day on the date? You never know. It was cute. He's like, what if I get cold day on the day?
You never know. He was nervous.
He was nervous.
What wouldn't you be? You had to be alone with Rocky?
Jesus Christ. I mean, I don't know
why he did it. They should require
body cams for all people who go on dates
with Rocky. Yeah. Well,
even though
Emil made that stupid comment,
Emil's like, well well i didn't go on dates because dates are for old people like so he's like these days you can give a std to a girl for free why
buy a dinner first this is a free entrance now enjoy your your HPV, darling. That's right.
So they go out to dinner on, I don't know, some restaurant.
Probably go to the Purple Kong.
They look so uncomfortable even holding a menu.
When you're a waiter and you go, or when you're in service and you go to be waited on, it's so uncomfortable.
Either waiters are like, oh, can I pour my own water?
Or they're like, fuck you.
You did everything wrong.
I would have had water on the table by now. Where's the those people got apps before it's one or the other and those two are like oh uh stike
oh fish well emil had no emil had no idea what he was doing he truly has never been on a date before
because first of all rocky was calling the shots and and she wanted emil to be the man rocky's like
well i guess we'll have some wine and do you want a whiskey you want a whiskey okay we'll get a
whiskey we'll have a whiskey but emil's like oh i guess i guess i guess it's all right and
everything and he could barely make eye contact he was looking down at his menu he was practically
shaking like whatever brand whiskey you have that makes my penis actually think it wants to be here
thank you that'd be. Whatever it's called.
I don't care.
Grey martini, goose, sky, whatever.
Bring it.
And then, you know, later on, he's getting really drunk.
And then Rocky, I mean, she's throwing, she's giving him all the, she's setting him up.
She's doing all the assists.
She's leaning in for a kiss.
Oh, but she's so awkward. She leans in for a kiss with her lips puckered in that tight way like when you have
to kiss your sister on a dare it's like a gross way and then squints her eyes and he's wasted he's
like what's she doing you know she's trying to eat the steak right out of my mouth and then he
finally grabs her head to be romantic. He's like, Oh no.
To be somewhere along the way,
the,
the, the sort of the,
the thirsty,
not thirsty,
but the pathetic,
the sad elements of it shifted away from Rocky because it became,
it went from Rocky being desperate to Rocky being like,
Oh my God,
this guy does not know what he's got to do.
Like maybe I'll help him out.
They felt like she was doing, it felt like a pity pucker.
You know?
Like, oh, he's not doing it.
And it wasn't because he didn't want to.
It was because he didn't know what he should be doing.
Yeah, he was terrified.
That was so cute.
And when he finally goes in for the kiss, he does the cheek.
And he does the other cheek.
And then it looks like he's going for the real kiss.
He goes for the forehead.
Like, Emil, what are you doing? i don't blame him i'm sorry like that girl that girl it's
like making out with an entire terrible ensemble well no no no oh i agree about that it's more like
i i wouldn't have blamed him if this was all on the yacht you know but he asked her out on a date so at that point under duress though i mean he was cute and asking her for the date and she didn't make him but it
was you know even when he asked her she's like girls he asked me on a date i was visualized i
knew it was gonna happen and finally he did it because i knew it was gonna happen then it happened yeah my gosh you can't like you can't
claim that creative visualization works while you're complaining about your job making beds
you can't it's kind of like proving that it doesn't work you can't you can't boast about
creative visualization when bravo is like hey emil we want you to ask ask Rocky on a date. It doesn't work that way.
And he's like, but my penis just hit the back of my throat.
It's so terrified. They're like, well, you know what?
Reality TV involves risks.
Did you ever see the fear factor?
Did you see the things that they had to swallow?
He's like, I'll ride all through it for Dean.
He's like, can't I
just have sex with her on the top bunk
and that way not really have sex because there's not enough room
for both of us, please.
But that was before
they didn't even get to the bunk because he got
so shit-faced and then Rocky's
response is just to act wacky
and she's like, oh, I'm gonna lay here
on the deck and then you can come
after me if you want to. And he's like, goodnight.
No, no. He
didn't even say you can come after
me if you want to to she literally took her dress
off and jumped into the ocean you know that's right that's right it's not you know it's a bad
date when the person you're with will actually jump into a body of water to get away from you
okay that's a bad date and then later she comes up and then she just curls up on the dock and he
tries to sort of potter she's like i think i want some alone time now thank you bye yeah i mean
that's the second clearance rack target bathing suit i've wasted on that guy yeah i have i have
rules it's bad when rocky's rejecting you i'm sorry uh but meanwhile wasn't rejecting him are
you kidding she was like begging him to stay he was like oh i can't she was like oh don't even
know what to do then try and figure it out and he's like whatever good night, man. She was like, oh, don't even know what to do then. Try and figure it out.
And he's like, whatever, good night.
I think she sent him away.
I think the vibe was very much like, okay, you got drunk.
You don't have any moves.
You may be hot, but this is a terrible day.
Yeah, he was not coming on to her.
That was the second time he's left her alone in a body of water, dying.
Love it.
Best thing to happen on the show.
But this was by her choice more so um
while this was all happening uh alex p heaton aka eddie was on the phone with his girlfriend
with his girlfriend his fake girlfriend in canada like on south park i have a girlfriend she's in
canada well we learned before this phone call even happened the night before he had forgotten
to call her and he's like oh she's gonna mad. So you already know they have a bad relationship
where, like, if you forget
to call, like, if you have to call every single
night, then that's bad news.
That's gonna lead to drama.
Okay? That's bad. That's not a good relationship.
That's not healthy. Okay?
Okay?
Okay. So...
Being new you. The funny thing is
that I was assuming that their phone call was gonna be that that she was crazy and he was going to be mollifying her.
Nope.
Well, she may be crazy, but he was an asshole.
Wow.
Yeah, I'm sure we're about to disagree on this.
I feel it coming.
Well, I don't even think that girl was real on the phone.
I think that was bullshit.
That was like one of those discussions you hear people fake having on their cell phone
and they're trying to look all badass and they're like,
yeah, and then I told her.
That's not even a real person.
They're just trying to look important while they walk down
the street. That's what it reminded me of. He's like,
Rocky's off the boat, so the only other
vagina here interested is Amy, so I'm
going to have some fake fight and be a man
on the phone. That was just crazy.
He's like this
is fucking ridiculous and you cheated and you deserve to make it up to me and throwing it i
think it was a real unlike you i i am not a huge conspiracy theorist and yeah you see i knew we
because you always have this thing like well i know the person who's actually on the phone
was andy co Cohen feeding him lines.
It's not that I am a conspiracy theorist.
It's that I have zero trust in humanity.
That's what it is. I don't believe anybody's a good person
or that anybody
goes through life without having horrible,
awful thoughts.
I'm working on it.
I believe
he's having a real conversation.
The conversation that they were having was awful.
She obviously is terrible
because they're so codependent
that if they don't speak on the phone one night,
it's going to cause a fight.
And she's also terrible
because she apparently cheated on him, which is bad.
But then he's terrible
because he speaks so condescendingly to her.
He literally says on the phone, he's like,
he's like, no, I need you to put in some more extra fucking work
because you cheated on me.
And then he's like, if you don't stop talking, I'm going to hang up.
Five,
four, three,
two,
one. I was like, oh, you
are awful. I don't believe that a girl
is going to sit there and listen to that from some
little man like Alex B. Keating.
Oh, I believe it 100%.
There are dysfunctional relationships
out there that are, I mean, this is, oh. Oh, well, I know. I believe most 100%. There are dysfunctional relationships out there that are – I mean this is – oh.
Oh, I know.
I believe most of them are, but I just – I don't buy it with him.
I think he was faking it.
Because why didn't we hear that girl?
Or – I don't know.
I don't buy it.
I think he's lying to try and get into Amy's pants while Rocky's gone.
I'm sticking with it.
I'm putting it on AlexJones.com, all right?
Right next to the 9-11 post.
One thing I want to mention
before i because i don't think there's anything really left but um when emil and rocky were on
their date and they were getting up from the table i love that the cameras caught emil just
staring at rocky's breasts for a good three seconds just staring like a three a three count
it was like god we are on such different pages yes he was staring but she was putting her
laura ash her terrible laura ashley breasted boobs right in his face like no she's not
arguing to me he's like oh what is that flower terrible flower pattern i'm not arguing that
i'm not arguing that but i just thought it was funny that he was so drunk that he didn't have,
he didn't have the ability
to just sort of like look at it fleetingly
and sort of like without being like a total,
like slack-jawed saliva,
you know, drooling guy like,
oh, boss.
It was hilarious.
The entire thing was hilarious.
I think he was just like,
I need another drink.
Where is he?
Where's my gray markers?
Well, either way, not much happened on this episode but i i mean i thoroughly enjoyed it we didn't really
we're making it sound that like it was like oh whatever but i really well for me it was a rocky's
episode it was a rocky episode so i just i don't like her to me it's just trying i like it all
hard i like when they're more real i don't like you know even if they're
fake real i get it's bravo but you know i like ladies of london i like because marissa is really
like that juliet is really insecure like that caroline's really a bitch i don't believe rocky's
any of this shit the only time i've ever believed one thing about her is when she's obsessing over
dick which i guess is every scene which kind of contradicts my own point and when she's obsessing over Dick, which I guess is every scene,
which kind of contradicts my own point.
And when she's sobbing on the phone with her dad.
Dad!
I have to try that.
I want to leave.
I went on a date with a guy.
I wore that dress that you got me into your eye.
That guy's just like,
I was in the fetal position on the deck and he just wasn't bad like how many babies do i have to buy
shut up shut up that's what i say i enjoyed it i enjoy kate being super shady i love how she keeps on being nasty to leon it's all such a bitch he's like oh dessert
how un-european european babes are much fancier than yeah i don't do a theme pot you just use
frozen cock like you're done to me you're dead to me okay eyebrows i'm not listening to another
thing you say and then she's like, well, hello, everybody.
The chef has prepared you a delicious pudding with a strawberry compote.
I'm like, that is jello gelatin straight out the thing on raspberry smucker's jelly.
You know it is.
And Dean's like, oh, fabulous.
I haven't eaten like this since my trip.
I don't even know where you go around the
world because i'm too poor i'm a maid on a boat with this episode is so long we didn't even get
to talk about amy training rocky i mean i know i was thinking about that she's like all right
what you got to do is you got to fold the fold the linens you got to put the pillow and by the
way the stuff she was saying was pretty basic she's like if you see water spots clean them if
you see a stain clean them if you see dust clean it rocky's like whoa i just need to
really absorb this whoa whoa this is too much i just need to like i need a minute i just need a
minute because she told me about spots on windows and he's like you know okay so when you're done
with the toilet look in the mirror and if there's a spot get it off people do not like looking in the mirror and seeing spots do not help the skincare industry
rob people okay clean the spot she's like i can't i can't do this too much it's too hard it's too
hard it's too much anyway well anyway that i'm out of gasoline you are being I'm out of gasoline. I'm out of fuel. I'm out of fuel. I can no longer podcast.
Is that a code word for patience?
It is.
