Hello and welcome back to part two of the Vanderpump Rules part two reunion part two
of part two.
I'm Ronnie and that's Ben. Okay, let's get into it. So where we left off was Lala. Anything Lala does is okay. And anything you do is wrong. Because Lala has a baby. Okay, she's child's
defeats. So fuck off. Yes. And then also, Sheena, asking Sheena about
Dancing with the Stars, etc. And Andy being like, Come on, at this point, like
put her on put her on Dancing with the Stars. Come on, guys. So now Sheena is
trying to change the story of like, No, no, no, I don't want I don't need to be
on Dancing with the Stars. Because like at this point, like, I don't want to
compete with that. Like, Ariana did such a good job.
And as she said, I'm way too famous for it at this point.
So I've just got plans with this band.
I'm going to put out some music, and people can talk shit
or whatever they want.
But I'm genuinely enjoying what I'm doing
with my life right now.
Ah!
I'm killing it right now because I have an actual band.
So that's amazing.
And so then we see Allie and Joe.
I thought Joe was already on the stage.
I'm an idiot.
I thought she was too.
That's why I was like, she's here, but she's not here.
But now she is here.
I think it was just the previews.
I saw my notes about like coming up in the previews.
So anyway, Allie and Joe were coming out of makeup, getting ready.
And James is like, hello, Ali Bali. And, uh, Ariana's like, Hey, you need to read Andy's
charges. Yeah, I know Andy, you're a Gemini and you're like the most perfect example of a Gemini
ever. $200 and $200. That's what that cost you. All right. You don't get to look in my eyes again until we're on camera. Thank you. So
then Joe comes out.
That's so Gemini of you to say that.
So Joe's there. Joe looks so nervous. Like she sits down and Andy's, well, actually she
comes up first and he's like, she actually she comes up first and
hey Joe, what's going on? You're really flopping around all over the stage. Hi Andy. Whoa,
it's weird. You know, it's a funny Andy. I always thought you'd look like sort of like,
I don't know, like a squirrel or like a turtle or a turtle squirrel. Are there such things
that turtle squirrels? I know I used to have a turtle that fell into the drain. Whoops,
bad mom. But lockdown dogs now dogs. I'm nervous. What am I saying? What am I saying? What am
I saying? Well, that's a pretty dress. What out in my dress. Oh, I'm nervous. Oh, what am I saying? What am I saying?
What am I saying?
Well, that's a pretty dress.
That's a pretty dress, thank you.
Thank you so much.
God, thank you.
Can I get a picture of you saying that?
I'm just kidding, I don't wanna get your picture.
I do, I do though, at some point wanna get a,
can we get a picture?
I'm drawing it in my head right now.
It's not funny.
I'm like doing art of you in my head.
I'm not really an artist.
I mean, we're all artists.
Am I right?
I mean, this conversation is art.
We're making it up right now.
Are we lying right now?
So funny.
You look really good in my head.
You're like a Botticelli.
That's a person, right?
Is that art?
Is that an art?
Is that an artwork or a person?
I really don't know.
I hit my head on my surfboard.
All right.
All right.
Okay. All right.
This crazy person needs to take a seat.
All right.
Keep her five feet away from me.
And Ali Valley, don't look at my eyes. Hey, Ali. yes, you looked at my eyes. I told you not to look in
my eyes. So, all right. So, we are back from the, for the Pump Rules reunion. We're joined by
astrology expert and generally empty vessel, Ali-Bali, and someone whose affair with Schwartz
was definitely not written in the stars. And then Joe's like, Okay, thanks.
You said some funny things first.
And then I was like, Oh my God, it's so funny.
And then he said some really mean things.
And that really hurt me.
And it's like really hurt right now.
But I'm just like, whatever.
I mean, am I hurt?
I don't even know.
I don't even know what I feel anymore.
I'm really numb right now.
So I'm just going to sit here.
Are you done?
Or is this like an intro? Is this funny? Are we on TV right now? This is hilarious. I don really numb right now. So I'm just gonna sit here. Are you done? Or is this like an intro? Is this
funny? Are we on TV right now? This is hilarious. I don't see
any TV. There's a TV. I'm on the TV.
All right, which people do they?
From like, some of them put up some fabric over the bird gauge
that Joe is in.
That's funny. That really hurt my feelings that really. I can't
see anything. And I'm a ghost right now, but
I'm a ghost with hurt feelings.
Okay.
Where is Pac-Man? I'm just kidding. So Andy's like, Ali, so how was the astrology business
going?
It's going great. I'm fully booked. And you charge by the hour? Like how much do you charge?
195 an hour. Wow. Feeling your
rates are gonna go up and Bravo is gonna take 10%. So you're
welcome.
Although I'm already thinking like 30 person seminars next
time, but she can get $200 now but for 30 people right at the
same time. It's gonna be amazing. Alibaba can have so much fun
together.
Okay, I'm just putting it out there. What about it's called the Ali
Bali experience featuring Mr. Banks and what Ali Bali does is
she says what mood what house your moon is in. And Mr. Banks
stares at you and says, where the fuck is my space in the bed?
This stupid dog there? Am I right? I think everyone will pay
for it beyond zoom $400 per person. Big business, the
future.
Sorry, we had a little bit of a technical issue there.
Is this, you know, hotel wifi?
It does wonders.
So anyway, what we were talking about before was,
Andy is just making small talk about like,
whoa, how am I gonna do?
Like how much are you gonna charge?
And James is talking about doing seminars, et cetera.
And then we have Andy saying like,
Joe, we first heard about you last year
and there was plenty of rumors
about the nature of your relationship.
So then we see Sheena questioning him last year.
Oh my God, who's Joe?
I don't know Joe, I've never even heard of it Joe.
Where's Joe?
Who is she?
Is she your roommate?
Is she your girlfriend?
Who's Joe?
Joe's, oh my God, I think I remember Joe. I think she tried to make out with me right now in the hallway.
Was that Joe? Joe's so enemy. Here, I don't know much about Joe, but Joe's in love with
me. There, I'll tell you that right now.
Yeah. So Andy's like, well, when, when did you two start hanging out? And she's like,
um, uh, well I was between like my house and my apartment and like, um, he was like nice
enough to let me couch surf on a spare bedroom like literally I got on
his bed on his couch I started like surfing I was whoo hang ten in my right
will hang nine because I'm like suspicious of the number ten it's like
really weird thing I like it I like knows that she's like no she understands
numbers and moons and things like that anyway I was like surfing and I was like
oh my god there's a shark who's actually just like his shark vacuum it was like
wild and wacky anyway so I brought my backpack and I brought my dog and I
brought like a pillow throw pillow on a big pillow. You put the throw pillow
underneath the big pillow makes it like weird shape. It's like a cascading pillow thing.
It's like weird. It's like weird, but it's like good for my neck. Anyway, so I just moved
into my apartment then after that.
And how long after you two started hanging out? Did it become physical? And by physical, I
mean, put my finger in a finger hole like that physical fucking when you guys start fucking she goes oh yeah never never
became I'm just kidding it's physical mmm is it physical right now I mean we're
physically in the same room it's kind of physical god it's hot in here it's hot
in here I'm just kidding I'm totally kidding yeah well you know at the
beginning it was just like platonic and like, I don't know.
We're just like drinking buddies, you know, things like that.
Yeah.
And Andy's like, drinking buddies who fuck?
Well, I mean, actually, it like evolves into that.
It was like, actually, Andy, you're right.
You're right, Andy.
You're right.
And I was like, can I ask a question?
Because I didn't even know that you guys knew each other.
So like how, where, why, who, because of,
I'm sorry, I'm out of questions.
Tupac, Tupac, does anybody listen to Tupac?
She's like, well, you know, through this group,
I mean, I knew her through.
Yeah, I mean.
Yeah, yup, yup, yup.
That's great.
Yeah, I mean, she was like best friends
with like Kristen Doty, so, you know,
I'd see her around and be like, I'm in love with you. We stop getting mixed messages and
So Joe's like yeah, well we never like I don't know like it was like we never like we never did anything before like
She's like so she just like hit you up just to like stay out of random life. Just hit you up
Well, I would like hit her up two or three times a year, you know, like I'd see her
at Kristen's.
Oh yeah.
And then like we would like text.
We would like text funny things and stuff.
Like I would do his hair and stuff, mostly about texting, but also about, you know, like
I would do his hair, like what we were talking about texting, or I would talk about texting
while I was doing his hair.
Or like sometimes he would text about doing his hair.
It was mostly about hair and texting. That's mostly until it got physical,
which I still don't know what that means. Maybe walking.
We we've walked around each other before. That's hilarious. That's funny, right?
Why am I the only person laughing all the time?
Why you guys are really hurting my feelings right now. And I was like, well,
I think that's where it gets a little confusing because we know each other
through Kristen Doty. And it's like, so nothing beyond that.
Like it's just so random right?
So randoms I have a baby. It was like random for sure
No, no, it was totally random
It's totally random like why she picked me out of all the people that she sort of barely knows just to crash with I don't know
It was totally random. There were no other story behind it. It's like, okay. All right
Well, Joe, did you have a crush on Schwartz while he was still married to Katie? And she's like, no, no, no, no, no, I'm sorry. Like, am I
supposed to say I didn't like, did I do it right? Did I say no correctly? Was I supposed
to say no? We're supposed to say on. It's not weird how like we say no backwards becomes
on. Strange. No, no, it's okay. I don't think you had a crush on me at all. Like, why would
I think that? I don't know. I just kept falling you had a crush on me at all. Like, why would I think that?
I don't know, I just kept falling down
every time I saw you.
It was so crazy.
I was like, oh my God, I hope this guy
just doesn't think I'm a klutz
because it's definitely not me falling down
because I like you.
I just keep falling down.
I hit my head on my surfboard, like right now.
I don't even have it here with me, but mentally.
Like, once you get hit on the head with a surfboard,
it just happens like all day in your mind,
but it still feels real.
Does anybody know what I mean?
So, so I was like, okay, so you moved in with Schwarz.
He's no, no, it's like, I did not move in,
did not move in while you stayed with him.
Stayed with him, you stayed with him.
Yeah, I was like during COVID.
No, it wasn't during COVID.
Yeah, you know, like, well, I mean, it was, okay.
Well, like, I mean, it was after COVID,
but like people had COVID,
like people still had COVID, like I knew four people
with COVID, so it was like, I don't know,
COVID was still around, COVID was there.
I almost moved in with COVID.
Unfortunately, they like didn't have room available.
Also, I never really wanted to like get physical with COVID,
unless it's like this kind of physical, like just walking.
Look how we're walking right now.
Mwah, mwah, mwah, speed walking.
Hey, no one's keeping up with me.
You guys are really hurting my feelings right now. Do you know the CDC originally called it the
Gerona virus? Yeah. So Katie is like, um, Kristen Doty lived like right around the corner and you
guys were still really good friends. Like, why didn't you crash with her? And they're like,
sure. It's like, well, she had a whole melodrama going on with her situation.
Tune into the valleys Tuesday nights after Vanderpump
rules. Not Kristin having melodrama. Hmm. I was right about that one. And Kate's like,
Katie's like, yeah, she was like really surprised that you like didn't hit her that you would
hit up Schwartz instead.
Yeah, and Joe's like, well I did actually.
So Andy was like, okay, I'm bored with this.
Ariana, you said that you didn't like Joe
because you knew about the affair.
How did you know?
And she's like, because her proximity to Schwartz
and then like, you know, they were like,
that's where everything was going down
and like the big bear thing.
So yeah, I still believe that.
And it's like, Joe, did Schwartz ever ask you to lie
about your relationship in front of the cameras?
I'm like, wait, Andy.
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
Tuna fish?
Nope, nope.
Chocolate?
Nope, nope.
Sushi roll?
Nope, nope.
I'm just saying no to appetizers being passed to my head.
Is this a party or what? Is someone gonna someone going to feed me? I'm serious.
Isn't it weird that Andy didn't ask Joe, did you know about the relationship?
Like, why did he not ask that?
That is weird. Yes, it is weird. And also why is she lying when she said on camera that they
didn't they didn't they say on camera that they agreed not to talk about it on camera or something?
Or is it that they were just?
Not they were just not calling it dating. So it wasn't technically date
Yeah, because I could have sworn would they had the conversation where she was like, you're just trying to hide me
Like are you trying to hide me? We've been sleeping together. We've been together. Why are you acting?
Like we're not together. That was part of the whole plot of this show, wasn't it? Yeah, I thought so.
So Andy's like, all I care about is you guys hooking up.
So how often were you guys?
No, I do not eat hot dogs in buns.
I don't understand.
Why is that wrapped in a blanket?
If anyone needs a blanket, it's a human, not a hot dog.
Hot dogs are not pigs.
They're ham, which are horses, probably.
Stop passing me invisible hors d'oeuvres in my head.
So how frequently were you two hooking up?
And she's like, I don't know, it was just like, I don't know.
Sporadically!
Yeah, like, I mean, it wasn't a lot, but we were basically like dating.
Yeah, I mean, sometimes when we'd hook up, I'd be like, who is this?
I see you so rarely that I ever forget your face.
It was so sporadic.
Yeah, we were basically like about to get married.
I don't even know who she is.
Yeah, like we're in love.
I just like kept feeling my baby bump.
Like I wasn't pregnant, but I was like, can't wait to be.
I was like, God, I don't even know this person.
And Lala's like, so wait, you were like, what?
Bumping peepees once a week, twice a week? Like, what are we talking here? And they're both like, so wait, you were like, what, bumping pee-pees once a week, twice a week?
Like, what are we talking here?
And they're both like, maybe.
And Lala's like, yeah, that's frequently,
both such weirdos.
They're like, hmm, okay, let's do them
trying to answer a question.
So you guys are doing like twice a week?
Like, what are we talking here?
Well, I would say like-
Maybe carry the one divided by three.
Or psycho.
I see like one time.
How many days a week in your calendar?
There's like so many...
California time?
Alternate calendars for weeks, right?
No, I mean, when you say week, I mean time is just a human construct.
Let's see if there's a time difference.
He was on the East Coast and I was on the West Coast.
A week would end earlier there.
I mean, like, you know when Europe a week starts a week later,
so I don't even know if we're around the same week.
It's like in Amsterdam.
It's like two days.
I don't know, I don't have a clock.
Like once a week, they're like once a week
is like dating you guys.
And so Andy asked Katie, like did it seem to you
like Schwartz was kind of breadcrumbing Joe?
And she goes, yeah, I mean especially when I was watching. And Joe's like was kind of breadcrumbing Joe. And she goes, yeah, I mean, especially when I was watching.
And Joe's like, what's breadcrumbing?
Is that like a thing?
Like I will eat carbs.
Like I'm not the kind of person to just stay away,
but like not on purpose.
Like what does it mean?
It's like giving you a little bit.
It's like when Dancing with the Stars sends me
like a newsletter, but doesn't actually invite me
on the show.
It's like I'm kind of being breadcrumbed.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, I don't, I don't watch, I don't have a TV. I don't understand fame. Fame? What? TV? Who would even want to be on that?
It's a water bottle lid I do it with. Well when I was watching. I should have taken I should have
taken a piece of that too you know when it was coming back. When I was watching Katie's like
when I was watching I was like oh my god I was watching, I was like, oh my God,
I feel really bad for you
because it seemed like he was leading you on.
And Joe's like, what, what?
Yeah.
What am I, what planet am I?
I was crazy.
It seemed like he was being elusive, elusive with you.
Like you saw the relationship very differently.
Am I even here right now?
Can anybody see me?
Cause I can't see you.
Cause I've
got my hand in front of my face. Crazy. Oh my god. She's there. It's really her. Wait,
is it really her? No, it's a hand. It's not Katie. It's my hand. Okay, say it again. My
hand feels sorry for me. Hand, why do you feel sorry for me? Nope, it's Katie who said
that. Am I going crazy?
Yeah.
Seriously?
Well, you're not the only one because when I was talking about you at Mel's Diner, I
was like, am I crazy? Am I really at Mel's diner right now? And you were explaining to me the situation and I was like,
well, no wonder why she would think that.
And we have a flashback to Schwartz just like, you know,
like telling Katie everything about Joe.
And so Katie is like, I mean, you've been given the relationship.
Like she's talking to Schwartz.
She's like, you've been giving the relationship and the boyfriend experience.
And no wonder why she literally is like in love with you.
Yeah, planet Mars.
That's where I live right now.
It's crazy here.
Does anybody have a couch to sleep on on planet Mars?
Cause I could really use one.
I don't live here.
I will not sleep with somebody.
I've learned my lesson.
I've learned, let's just put it that way.
So Katie's like, yeah, I mean, I just, you know,
of course she assumed you were in a relationship
and Schwartz is like, well, I mean, it just, you know, of course she assumed you were in a relationship and Short's like, well, I mean, it just felt like
maybe it was evolving into a relationship,
but then, you know, some things happened.
And Katie's like, yeah, but you weren't committing to anyone.
So if somebody thinks, and he's like, yeah,
but that caused me to like want to reconsider.
And then I started pulling away and then like,
you know, things happened, like it was crazy.
So Andy's like, well, what happened?
And he goes, well, you know, we're still tied.
What are you trying to say?
Would someone on the stage fucking say something?
They're both talking at the same time.
They're talking in ellipses.
No one is really saying, finishing a sentence.
And Lala goes, what is happening right now?
This is literally like fucking insane.
And Schwartz is like, it's such a mind fuck
cause you see Joe likes this guy and he says things like,
oh, I did really love her. I did, I love her. I did say her I did say I love her I mean I said I love you but I don't mean
like I love you but I like I love you like what we had was magical it was magical it
wasn't relationship but it was magical it was like oh for that moment I was like she
could be my wife but what we weren't dating or anything I mean I would never want to be
married to her but like if we were married wow that would be the best thing ever but
I never want I'm single. I'm single.
You know, I'm single. Like, why would I get married? Like, we don't need paperwork. Like, our relationship is so strong.
I mean, I said relationship and I mean relationship, you know, like love.
I mean, I don't mean like like, I mean, like friends.
Friends like each other. We're more than friends.
I mean, like we're married, but not like not in the spiritual sense.
We're just like we love each other. We're in love.
And Lisa's like, wait a minute, if you're sleeping together
and you tell someone you love them.
Of course, that's what we did.
We would sleep together and be like, I love you, which means we're not dating.
Am I right?
I just don't understand what's so confusing.
Everyone's like, this is so fucked up.
And Joe is over there going, yeah, well, yeah, we agreed.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Dating.
Mm-hmm.
Not dating.
Yeah.
Married.
Not married. Pregnant. Had children. Divorced. We're divorced. pregnant, had children, divorced, were divorced, not got back together again. It's so crazy.
So fuck, you know, so they're like, they're all coming down on shorts, right? And Ariana's like,
you know, you guys are sitting there and you're using, you're using the word dating.
And then you're like, no, no, no, it was this other thing. And just like, yeah, I think you're
leading on a little bit, you know, around was like, yeah, there's like a disconnect on what it was, you know?
And Joe's like, you know, and no, it's fine.
I mean, you have a girlfriend and you love talking about her,
but it's like, I was a secret for a year.
And she was like, Joe, no, don't feel bad.
It's not that I was embarrassed of you.
It's just that I would hate for anyone to know
that I ever touched you physically
in any sort of way, that's all.
Yeah, he's just such an ass. He's like, yeah, I mean, that's not the reason I pulled away
from you, you know, and I'm just saying, like, it's sad to see how we are because that was,
you know,
she's like, well, it was a relationship because like when I saw it, I was like, that was a
relationship, I guess. He goes, yeah, well, we had magic for a while. Well, it was there.
But you know,
Yeah. And then it ended. It well, we had magic for a while. Well, it was there, but you know, yeah.
And then it ended.
It ended, then it dissipated, like magic.
Yeah, dissipated, that's crazy.
It was like a rabbit that was put back into a hat.
Oh my God, why would you do that to a rabbit?
Like, it's not where rabbits belong.
I'm just saying, like, not to disagree with you.
Yeah, and then, you know, it's like sawing a person in half
and then putting them back together.
You can't just like saw a person in half and put them back together. Am I right? Am I going crazy here?
Someone and Lala's like, you know, you're saying these things you're saying you're my happy place
Well, we had his magical and he was and then and then she's like, but why can't you call it a relationship?
Those are all the things you say when you're in a relationship. He's like I didn't want to put label on it
I was scared.
I felt incapable of being in a conventional relationship.
I felt fucked up because of Katie.
It's all Katie's fault.
Katie did this to me.
It's not my fault.
I'm innocent.
I'm just a boy.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
And Andy's like, so what's the status
of your relationship now?
And he's like, we're friends.
And Andy says, are you friends, Joe?
And she's like, I mean, I,
well, it's like, well, you have a girlfriend now.
And he goes, yeah, I mean,
I thought you were dating too, right?
Do you know that invisible rabbit
that was following that guy around?
No?
Oh yeah, well, I guess not, but I am, yeah.
And Andy says, and Joe, you're kind of hurt
that he's so public about his girlfriend, yes? And she's like, yeah.
It's like the only solid answer she's given.
This like simple, yeah.
And Andy goes, and it hurts you
because she's not public with you, right?
And he's like, oh, she starts like crying.
It's like, yeah, that really hurts my feelings.
That really does.
And I don't know, it's not that I need publicity.
I just like kind of wanted that.
And Andy's like, you just wanted wanted you didn't want to hide it
This is like validation
darling
validation
Alright Schwartz, well, it seems like you just hard launched a new relationship like what can you tell us about her?
Will you bring us to bring her to the NBCU up front in New York City? He goes whoa. Well her name's Sophia
You may know her from wallpaper.
She's ridiculously good looking, but she's like, my li- that's my least favorite thing
about her. I'm not much realistic. I mean, it just so happens that she's good looking.
Oh, I don't care about that whatsoever. She's hilarious. She's smart. She likes apples.
She can open a refrigerator really well. One day she saw a cloud and was like, that looks
like hair. And I was like, it's a cloud. was like, that looks like hair and I was like it's a cloud and she said oh my god I always wonder what a cloud
looked like. Oh god she's great. She's got a great career like the wallpaper thing
I mentioned that sand of all's room. So yeah I don't want to be disrespectful to
Joe whatsoever but let's just put it this way I would always tell people that
I want to fuck this girl in a way that I would never want to say it about Joe. I
don't want to be disrespectful. No, no, no
Listen here's what I can tell you about her when this show started she was in the sixth grade Andy
So basically perfect for a little boy
Wow, yeah, and if people are like, oh my god, you shouldn't age shame relationships Bullshit that girl's was 12
Think about that that girl was 12 when this guy was on this show crying because he couldn't stand behind a bar for five minutes
Okay, can we can we not it's time for commercial? It's time for a crap in commercial
I'm she Moli I and I have a new podcast called The Competition.
Every year, 50 high school senior girls compete in a massive scholarship competition.
I wouldn't say I have an ego problem, but I'm extremely competitive.
All of the competitors are used to being the best and the brightest, and they're all vying
for a huge cash prize.
This will probably be the most intense thing you've ever gone through in your life.
I remember that feeling, because I was one of them.
I lost.
But now I'm coming back as a judge, and also a kind of teen girl anthropologist.
Because if you want to understand what it's like to be a young woman in America today,
the competition's not a bad place to start.
Hopefully no one will die on station night.
From Pineapple Street Studios and Wondry, this is The Competition.

So Schwartz is like, yeah, you know, I love her.
I'm obsessed with her.
No offense to Joe.
I hope that didn't hurt Joe.
It's just that she's so amazing.
She's like so, she's so much more amazing in public
than Joe ever was.
Sorry, Joe.
Did that hurt?
Ouch.
Sorry, I didn't mean it.
Sorry if I was ever sloppy.
And then they're all like,
oh, now you care about disrespect.
Oh my God.
They're like, pick a lane, whatever, you know?
So.
So there's such assholes to Joe, obviously,
but it's nice that everybody's kind of sticking
up for Joe on stage because they he started this thing where he's like, shut up, Katie,
you don't even know anything that you haven't seen on the show.
And then Tom Sandoval was like, Oh, yeah, there's like behavior you guys didn't see
on the show with Joe and they're like, Oh, shut the fuck up.
You guys he was making Joe seem like it was as good he was telling Joe they were girlfriend
and boyfriend basically sleeping together saying I love you,
everything else, and now you guys are both teaming up
to gaslight just like you fucking do every single time.
So it was nice to see the whole cast, you know,
tell them to shut them out.
Yeah, so Andy's like, he's like, all right, Katie,
well you said some aggressive things about Joe
on social media and it's like Joe's a crack head.
Joe is like the worst thing that ever happened.
The economy crashed because of Joe.
So Joe is a literal terrorist.
She's a rat.
She's a psychopath.
She's a crackhead.
She's got weird meat.
She made global warming.
So Joe is like crying.
She's like sobbing.
Joe was not meant for this, okay?
And he's like, what is it about this crying,
strange person that got you all fired up and kiddies like, um, well,
you know, Katie Bess is like, look,
I was going through a divorce and I was going through a separation and I just
felt like she's moving away that I didn't like. And like, honestly,
I just use some very colorful descriptors
like crack head. I just use some very colorful descriptors. Like bracket. I mean, it's basically like in those commercials
where they used to try and sell albums on late night TV,
you know, where they'd be like,
and now the most romantic hits of 1987,
and then they just start listing your greatest hits.
It's like the credits start coming up and it's like,
psychopath, bitch,
whore, skinny, ugly, rat face. It's like Katie's greatest hits. It's like the now collection
of Katie. So it's like, do you regret anything? She's like, why would I regret anything? You're
literally playing my greatest hits. So Joe, I don't know if she realizes this, but she
does really a Bravo masterstroke,
which is that she gives big puppy dog eyes and starts to sob and is like, you know, I
never felt ganged up by any of you, like any of you guys, you know, except for you, Katie.
She really did come in.
She you know, we're saying, oh, she's not made for TV.
I don't know about that,
because Joe really did come in ready to be like,
the person who hurt me, it was her.
It was Katie.
It was the person with the hair cut.
Like, you know, she was just so ready.
She's ready with her big victim tears.
Now I do think she was a victim in this situation,
but not from Katie.
I mean, come on.
You were victimized by Tom Schwartz, point the finger where it should be. You knew that the sound of all,
you knew all that stuff. Like I've enjoyed Joe on the show or whatever, but it doesn't
lift her to sainthood. You know what I mean? Like take some responsibility. Katie was mean,
but you were also like with Katie's ex. What did you think? You know what I mean? And also
Katie's not the only one that bullied you.
Sheena bullied you plenty.
She's right there.
Hate her.
Yeah.
So, um, so then we, uh, so Joe's basically like, you know,
like, it's you're so mean to me.
And Katie's like, it's not about you.
It's about what I was going through, you know?
And I know I wasn't nice or kind,
but I was dealing with a lot of shit.
And the last thing I needed
Was you and kids like Joe's like that's no excuse
And Lala's like, you know, I know it doesn't seem like Katie's being vulnerable right now
But just know that when she bears her fangs and rolls her eyes and spits at you
That's like the most vulnerable thing she could ever do right now. Okay, this is actually such a soft side of Katie you're seeing right now.
This is Katie being vulnerable.
Look at the way she just threw some mud at Andy Cohen.
I don't even know where that mud came from.
That was like her saying like, I miss you.
You're my favorite.
And then Katie's like, yeah, and I just had a season where I wasn't treated well by any
of these people, you know, which is kind of going back to what Lala was saying was that,
you know, they were pissed that everybody's giving Ariana all this grace, but nobody gave
them this grace when they were going through breakups in their relationship.
But you know, again, that was because your relationship has been miserable for years
and people were rooting for you both to just not be together you know what I mean so Joe's
like yeah like you called me a rat you called me a crack at and kidding I like
Katie just goes listen I don't like a lot of people and I don't believe in
being nice to everybody you kind of can't argue with that.
Yeah. Um, I'm getting lost. Uh, she goes, yeah, I never said you're a crackhead or you do actual crack. And then we see a, we see the tweet. Joe's spooky. I mean, none of us could stand to be around her.
Her energy is on par with the crackhead.
She's a psycho and I will light her on fire with Raquel.
She's like, what?
I barely did anything.
What are you talking about?
Yeah.
Spooky, sloppy, rude, need to take a shower.
I mean, I can go on and on.
Me too, want me too?
What am I?
It's like I'm playing a bar mitzvah today.
Hold on.
Deaky, deaky, deaky, deaky, sloppy,
rat, crackhead energy, on par with,
should I keep going?
Am I getting paid by the song or by the app?
Katie's like, look, listen, listen,
it's not about like, it's not about like,
oh, everyone that Tom Schwartz dates
has a target on their back, but just like,
I don't know, and everyone goes, it's a case by case basis.
Your case was selected.
Think of Katie as the IRS and her reaction towards you
as you've been audited.
Okay, that's it.
Just bad luck.
So Andy's like, Joe, are you seeing anyone?
She's like, no.
Do you know Aaron Rodgers?
Peach and Pea is a terrible person.
Anybody, hey, wait, anybody have the number for Scott Moore?
Anybody up here?
She's like, well, no, I think like, what was it?
Arianna said he's a conspiracy theorist.
I thought Joe said that.
I thought Joe said he's a conspiracy theorist.
I like that. No, Arianna said he's a conspiracy theorist.
Okay. And he's like, yeah, he's a wackadoo.
So Joe's like, what about John Mayer?
It's like, all right, he's mine, bitch.
Good luck on whatever you do next, you're fired.
Had him, had him over there.
I'm gonna abstain on that one.
Like I didn't abstain when I knew someone named
Flawn Flair sounds like.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
I danced with that star, that's for sure.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. So now it's time, Joe and our, so now we go on, sorry, Joe doesn't leave, I danced with that star, that's for sure.
So now it's time, Joe and our, so now we go on, sorry, Joe doesn't leave, but now it's
time for, it's time for Joe, James and Ali Pali.
So Andy's like, did you feel like you're being trolled every time they showed the airplanes?
It's like, oh, I loved it.
It's like, we see an airplane and we know like, oh good, it's our scene.
Wiki, Wiki, Wiki, Wiki.
Well, I'd like to ask a question to the biggest supporting player on this season, the Southwest airline that kept flying over there. Southwest, how do you feel about your first
breakthrough season on America? On the Vanderpump rules? I'd just like to say we're about to land in lost wages.
I nailed it.
Thank you, Southwest Airlines.
So James.
I love that Southwest Airlines joke.
It's so good.
Like, hey guys, Southwest, welcome to the show
to drink a minimum, am I right?
Huh, it's by Carl Radke. Southwest, welcome to the show to drink a minimum of my right.
It's by Carl Radke. Um, so Andy is like, he's like James,
uh, Rachel's weighed in publicly and said that she believes the dog's bad behavior is because of you was your response to that.
So James basically says that like when hippie like was a puppy,
he was put in a crate and put in the bottom of a plane, and it really sort of traumatized him.
And so he had some biting issues.
It wasn't because of him, it's because of this terrible experience that he went through.
But now he literally, like, I'll come back from a walk, and then he'll go and run up
to Mr. Banks and give Mr. Banks literally a kiss on the face.
And Mr. Banks will be like, get the fuck off me, you stupid dog.
Cats only on this pussy.
This pussy over here.
Actual pussy, because I over here, actual pussy,
cause I'm a cat, it works, they have a weird exchange.
When that whole thing came out with Raquel Blay,
or Rachel blaming him for the dog,
I was like, okay, that's a stretch.
And also you're like doing this revenge podcast
and it's kind of getting sad now.
It's like episode after episode.
And now you're onto James like saying he abused the dog and biting people like what the fuck dude
like it gets to be a bit much I think his answer should just be
like that's not true and she's desperate for material and needs
to get a damn real job because this is getting old but instead
he goes on this whole like well you understand trauma right?
He had trauma he was on a plane plane with trauma he was on a
trauma plane like okay I got that could my He was on a plane, a plane with trauma. He was on a trauma plane. Like, okay, I
got that. My dog was on it, not Bueller, but Zena before him. I took Zena and she went under the
plane. She did come out traumatized, but she didn't come out biting people. And like, I don't know,
it just seemed like now I'm wondering, like, what did he do to this dog to make the dog, you know,
crazy? Because now he sounds guilty. He's like going through all this like trauma of the dog. Like have we
gotten to that point where we're using dog trauma excuse? Come
on. But apparently hippies better now. So that's good. And
then Lisa's like, Oh, come on, if there was ever a problem with
the minute I saw how hippie reacted to James on the fifth
time we shot that scene within two weeks to make it more
palatable for the public.
Hippie reacted very well. Look how Hippie slowly runs towards James in this clip,
licks him and then goes to sniff another butt in the store. Just romantic story.
I knew then categorically that he'd be nothing but kind to that dog. And as for Mr. Banks, fuck that cat.
We don't deal with cats in my world, stupid, stupid beasts.
So Andy is like, Lally, you said that you weren't ready
to get married and have kids.
Where are you today with that?
Nope, don't want him.
Gross, disgusting.
You think I want to reproduce with this one?
Absolutely not.
I want to get my music career launched.
Okay.
not where I want to get my music career launched. Okay. But so, um, she goes, not the most inspiring group here. No offense.
That was great. They're all shocked. And it goes, excuse me.
I mean, except for Sheena and Brock, of course, and Lisa, of course. And by the way, except
for, I mean, including and specifically because of. So
Andy's like, well, Lala, Lala has kids. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Um, yeah, I'm inspired by her.
She's great. Um, I was talking to my friends recently and I was like, I want to have kids
when I feel like Lala, when I get desperate enough in my life that I want to have kids
so badly that I wanna, I'm going to sleep with someone like Ran, then that's when
I will do that. But until then, I think I'm just gonna try to focus on my music and astrology.
So James, what do you want kids? He's like, Oh, well, I want kids by the time I'm like,
you know, 33, well, I'm 33. So 35 now, I'm almost 35, 34, 32. I wanted them 28. Really?
I've been preparing for children since I was 16 years old, Andy.
I've done nothing but prepare for children.
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry.
I've been traumatized on a plane, Andy.
Traumatized.
So, well, how long are you, traumatized on a plane,
how long are you willing to wait for Ali
to change your mind forever, Andy?
Forever.
Well, really just like another year. So and then I'm gonna
switch her out for a new model, whatever, whatever it takes.
Until my dick shrivels up and I fall off. Oh, just kidding, Andy. Just kidding. He's like,
Okay, well, that's how long we're gonna keep these terrible men on this show. So, okay, for many
years, this group was infamous for boozing it up, but this year you went
from slamming shots to sipping mocktails and hosting water tasting with guys who compare
water to cum.
Let's take a look at that hilarity.
So we see like a little, we see a scene from the water tasting where they all say, this
water tastes like cum, sks.
So Andy's like, how long have you been sober now, Lala?
Almost like five and a half years.
So, pause for applause.
Thanks so much.
You know what I have to say?
I really appreciate you acknowledging my sobriety
each time we do this,
because it really means a lot to me.
And it's the proudest thing I've ever done in my entire life.
And I'm even more prouds,
because I have a child's.
I have a child's.
I'm sober with a child's.
I have a child's now.
I have a child's.
If sober was the penis,
I would have let it spooge into me so I could have a child with
it. So much. I love it. So thanks, everybody. It's been
great. And so then, and James, James has been sober ish, we
think we're sure we're going with that. We're gonna go with
that one. So Allie, you said there was a big moment that
caused James to stop drinking. and it also pushed you and your cats to move out.
And they're like, and Joe's like, Oh, what?
I didn't know that.
So can I stay on the couch that she was sleeping on?
I love cat couches.
Can I sleep on that?
I'm just kidding.
Go ahead.
Seriously, what's your address?
I'm just kidding.
Don't invite me over.
And I was, I was basically like, yeah, I don't like James when he drinks getting done, don't invite me over. And Ali's basically like,
yeah, I don't like James when he drinks.
Yeah, I do have a mouth on me,
like a little bit disrespectful, things like that,
but it's only some of that stupid facts
that he doesn't care about.
So then Joe's like,
you know, it's refreshing that you can admit that
because it's really cool that,
because I have an ego,
like it's cool that you're like, I have an ego. It's like me being like, oh, you know what I have? Coffee mug. I don't know, it's like really cool that like, you know, cause it's like, cause like I have an ego, like it's cool that you're like, I have an ego. You know, it's like me being like,
Oh, you know what I have a coffee mug.
I don't know.
It's like, it's cool that we admit what we have.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
So he talks about how he's quit for Ali
cause she's going to leave him if he's drunk again,
which is different than when Raquel did it for some reason,
because you know, that was his thing this season.
Like, I'm not doing it for her, I'm doing it for me,
but I will leave him if he doesn't stop,
which is why I'm doing it for myself.
Please don't leave me.
Especially before we get knocked up at 35, please.
Been dreaming of a baby since I was five.
So then James is like, yeah, but you know,
it wasn't necessarily just the ultimatum.
It was like, I'll get it.
Like a relationship is going to be a whole lot better if I just don't drink.
And she's like, yeah, and I'll leave him if he doesn't.
So, Joe, is there any final thing you want to say before you are sent away?
And she's like, honestly, I know this is going to sound crazy.
It's been a really fun party.
Thank you for the appetizers.
I'm sorry I didn't eat them. It's been a really fun party. Thank you for the appetizers.
I'm sorry I didn't eat them.
It's not because they didn't look delicious.
I just didn't wanna have bad breath
in case I made out with Tom Schwartz, my boyfriend,
my husband, just kidding, we're only friends.
We're married in this reunion.
Thank you for having me.
Love you.
You guys have been so much fun.
The whole game where we were like,
pin the hurt feelings on Joe.
Hey, let's make Joe cry.
And that was so much fun, you guys.
I cried five times and that's how I know it was a good night.
Now, just can you tell me when we're gonna start rolling?
We've actually been filming for all this time.
Oh, really?
Oh, okay.
That's wild.
Is Aaron Rodgers watching?
Think.
Aaron Rodgers, that was a rough moment
when she said she really wants to date Aaron Rodgers. I'm like, what? I'm like, what? I'm like, what? I'm like, what? I'm like, what? I'm like, what?
I'm like, what?
I'm like, what?

Super fun.
We'll miss you.
So then commercial break and we come back and let's see.
Andy's like, all right, we're back.
So now let's talk about the real star of the reunion
and who's not here.
I thought you were gonna say Summer Moon.
Sorry, we didn't.
Hello, hi, I'm Summer Moon. Sorry, we didn't. Hello.
Hi, I'm Summer Moon's momager.
Is she not the number one person in this supporting character?
Anne?
I mean, who's Anne, right?
Was she blocked by Tom Sandoval?
I don't think so.
Summer Moon, who's totally available to do Duracell
commercials, surely that's going to happen this year.
No one's going to tell me any different.
Little to scene and out.
There's like a Dura-Sol ad with Anne coming up.
So, Andy is like talking about how, you know,
that Anne had to like clean up after parties and stuff
and all that stuff and Sam was like, whoa.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry to start laughing.
But I'm looking at my little side notes here
and I read on this page, the commercials that come up in this show.
So there was a segment, you know, where Katie's like, God, I mean, I really just don't understand
it.
I mean, it's just, I really didn't mean that against Ariana.
And then he's like, okay, let's cut to commercial.
And then it's like, IBS.
And I thought that was really funny.
Like the Katie segment got a big, huge IBS commercial.
And then Joe's segment, Joe's like crying
and Tom's like, we're not together,
but we are kind of together,
but we're not together, but we're kind of together.
And then we cut to commercial and it's like, Hep C.
This sounds so funny.
The commercial plays.
I know, it's hilarious.
They're like, let's match these drugs
to the personalities they would best go with
in this reunion lineup.
So, so San-
I just derailed the whole show.
No, it's no, I watched,
I didn't have commercials on the one I watched.
So it's just like, so I didn't get to have that experience.
So I'm glad you, I'm jealous now.
Okay, so San of all, so we talk about Anne
and basically that Sandoval of course fired her
because she came on camera and dissed him
and said she would rather work for Ariana,
which, you know, makes sense.
But Ariana is like, well, she was just excited
to like work for other women
and that was probably a big part of it. And she wanted something new, you know? Yeah, so then Andy is like, well, she was just excited to like work for other women and that was probably a big part of it.
And she wanted something new, you know? Yeah. So then Andy is like, well, you know,
we already talked about hippie and his journey to find a happy home, but across town,
Tom and Ariana's pets were dealing with the fall out of their parents breakup,
which led to Ariana calling Xanabal a dog murderer. So, all right, the dog, Mia,
got into chicken skewers that were next to your bed,
which is honestly a little gross.
Okay, let's just pause.
This is pretty gross, Ariana, what the hell?
Okay, she's like, is my space?
I loved her answer here.
Yeah, I loved her answer here.
That was good, because that was all of us.
I think, I feel like the whole world was like, gross.
I love you, but gross, that's nasty.
And she's like, that's my space.
My take away cartons, my choices.
So he's like, all right.
And so Sandoval's like, well, okay, first of all,
we've been having issues with our air conditioner
and like we have electrical issues.
And there's like this thing that needed to be taken care of.
So I went in there and I don't know if it was Anne or I that left the door open but
possibly it was Anne it was most likely Anne I think it was Anne I don't know why everyone hates
me Anne is the one who kills dogs Anne actually hates dogs she wants to kill them all. But wait
did she murder a baby because that's what Katie wants to murder. I have a child's okay. Thanks.
My child's leads chicken skewers out stews. I have a child's, okay? My child's leaves chicken skewers out too.
I have a child's.
I have a child's with chicken skewers.
How could you leave chicken skewers out
when I have a child's?
The difference with Ariana leaving garbage out
and me leaving garbage out is that I have a child's.
So then we get into this petty thing of the room.
Like, yeah, but I should have been consulted if someone was petty thing of the room.
Like, yeah, but I should have been consulted
if someone was gonna come into my room.
But if we didn't fix the air conditioner,
it would have leaked and there would have been mold
and all of the neighbors could have died from black mold.
Ariana, why?
She's like, but I do have the right to shut my door.
And I was like, wow, I love a good right
to shut my bedroom door fight.
But yeah. Hey, James, James, I love a good right to shut my bedroom door fight, but yeah.
Hey James, James, is there any way
that you'd like to insert yourself
into this pet situation here?
Absolutely, Undy.
We knew this was coming, right?
We knew this was coming because James
has just been totally dissed and had his feelings hurt.
And what happened, and that's when Allie was like,
I don't wanna have babies with him,
or whatever just happened, James got his Fee Fee's hurt. or whatever just happened. James got his Fee Fee's hurt,
and we know that when James get his Fee Fee's hurt,
he's about to lash out at someone
that he's not even mad at, and here we go.
Yeah, he's like, okay, you know what,
Sanderball, you roll your eyes like that,
like a fat slut, but you're totally fine.
You were totally fine when Raquel took fucking Gram for me,
and you became a secret new daddy

Like- Yeah, I mean, I love watching Tom Sandoval get yelled at.
And then this is why, because then Tom starts with his thing, which is like,
Oh really?
I'm the only bad person, which is his other thing.
Like you suck too.
So now he's threatening.
He's like, shut the fuck up, Sandoval.

And they add up James. And he's like, Oh, shut the fuck up. You
haven't heard shit Santa ball. He goes, Uh huh, you need to get
off your high horse. He goes, brother, I'm galloping so far. I

It was the biggest scandal in pop music. The stars of Milli Vanilli, the Grammy-winning, multi-platinum R&B phenomenon, were exposed
as frauds, but none of this was their idea.
So whose idea was it?
Enter German music producer Frank Farian.
He saw the success of acts like Michael Jackson and Prince, and he wanted in no matter the
cost.
So he devised the perfect pop heist, two once-in-a-lifetime talents who were charismatic, full of sex appeal, and phenomenal dancers.
The only problem?
They couldn't sing.
But Frank knew just how to fix that.
Wondery's new podcast, Blame It on the Fame, dives into one of pop music's greatest controversies
and takes a never-before-heard look at the exploitation of two young Black artists.
Milli Vanilli set the world on fire, but when the truth came out, Rob and Fab were
the only ones who got burned.
Looking back now, it's hard not to wonder, why did everyone blame them and not the man
pulling the strings?
