From Wondery and Audible comes Class of 88, a new podcast hosted by Will Smith.

Thank you for sticking with us.
It's a double week because we have so much to talk about.
My name is Matt Whitfield from Yahoo.
Joining me as always are Ben Mandelker and Ronnie Karam.
Say hello, boys.
Hi.
Are you guys tired yet?
This has been a long one.
I'm exhausted.
I don't know if I can talk anymore.
Get a Gatorade and settle in because we have so much more to discuss.
But before we do that, let's remind everybody where to find us on the interwebs.
You can find us on Twitter at What Crappens.
You can find me at Life on the M-List.
You can find Ben at B-Side Blog.
And you can find Ronnie at TVgasm.
Don't forget to join the conversation on Facebook.
We are at Facebook.com backslash watch what crap
happens it is a fucking party
and I said fucking because some people
on our iTunes comments said we like
it when Matt curses so here I fucking
go yeah
you go you go girl
you go girl I am going
you go you fucking girl
so anyway
on our last episode we discussed things, including a lot of gossip and a lot of shit, such as the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion part.
And we also discussed Married to Medicine.
But on this episode, before we get into the season eight premiere, I cannot believe I'm saying this season eight premiere of real housewives of
orange County and,
uh,
the real housewives of Atlanta season finale.
We must discuss the big news that came out,
uh,
today,
which is yesterday for those of you who are listening on Wednesday,
but Bravo has just released a slew of programming information.
We have 17 new shows in the mix and 18 returning shows.
And I don't even know where the fuck to begin. They just vomited their entire development slate on top of our faces and i'm not
sure i like most of that barf no why don't we it sounds kind of like they ripped off um like
telemundo yeah just like put it in english well what's interesting what's interesting going through
the new shows that they've greenlit and we're going to go through them momentarily is that, first of all, you can see what each show is going to be like.
You can already imagine the promos and you can also then from your imaginary promos see how quickly you're going to change the channel.
You know, there are certain Bravo shows that come along and they're these generic shows like Misadvised or whatever where you see the promo and you're like, ugh, stupid.
Who's going to even watch that?
And honestly, just from the descriptions of some of these things, I don't even know what they're thinking.
I mean, I skimmed through the list and I was like the majority of these feel like Misadvised or Around the World in 80 Plates and not a lot of them are feeling as delicious as Vanderpump Rules.
That being said, there are about two or three in there where I was like, yes, I will certainly
be watching this.
So why don't we just go through this list here?
Okay, kids, I'm just going to let's run down the Greenlit news series first and then we'll
get into some of our returning favorites that we definitely need to discuss.
And don't forget to remind me when we're discussing the returning favorites, we also need to discuss some of our other major franchises from Bravo that have not necessarily been greenlit for future seasons.
There are a few things that still seem like they're on the bubble, a.k.a. Rachel Zoe.
What about Gaga Ross?
Notice how Gaga Ross was not even part of the conversation.
And by the way, speaking of not part of the conversation, Ronnie, wake the fuck up.
What?
I'm awake.
You're talking a lot.
What do you want from me?
You keep saying you're going to introduce something.
I'm sitting here waiting.
I had a Starbucks, a cup of coffee, and two Red Bulls.
Matt, he's just really amped from our last episode because it was so good.
So good.
I had to watch most of my shows today because I've had a busy
week and my cable broke.
So I've had about three hours of women
screaming at each other and I
went on an Air Pop popcorn binge.
So I feel a little bit weighted down by
air. Okay. Well,
Matt, why don't you read off the first
new show? We're going to
roll right through. Read the description.
Descriptions are hilarious to me. P.Ss air pop popcorn is really good with ice cream melted on it it's getting its
own show on bravo it is it is air pop diaries one of the up-and-coming women in new york
have to balance life love and popcorn fall 2013 can we just please have kim richards sits on a pillow as a show
the fact that that was not greenlit as its own i was just like the kim richards laundromat
experience dry cleaners can you imagine her like i love watching the shirts go around and around
i like if you press the button it goes one way like if you press the button, it goes one way. And if you press the button the other way, it goes the other way.
I am fighting for the life of my launchpad.
What do you mean that pillow's not clean?
I blow-dried it.
The amount of times I went to the couch during Reunion Part 2
claiming that she was totally lucid through the entire season.
She is such a fucking
liar. Well, you know he doesn't
tell the truth. Drug addicts.
Drug addicts. Never trust
a drug addict. No, no.
They will steal everything out of your house.
And speaking of things
that are stealing things, Bravo is gonna steal
all of our time with these upcoming Greenlit
series. Good, that was good.
Tell us about them. Ronnie loves a segue.
Yeah, I love a good segue.
I hate walking.
Okay, first up.
First up is Below Deck.
The upstairs and downstairs worlds collide
when these young, sexy singletons
known as yachties live, love, and work together
on board a privately owned extravagant yacht.
No.
Oh, wait, you forgot the all-important
part is that they are dealing with the ever-changing needs of their demanding charter guests
which is not always smooth sailing get it you guys because it's about a boat uh below deck i
was sort of hoping for like uh the sordid tales of the black party in new york city but guess not
yeah or like people ripping off card games in Vegas or something.
Like Vegas, Caesar's Palace waitresses in those mesh tops, like not putting the correct
money in the tip pool.
You know I'm obsessed with them and those like pantyhose that they wear that are like
way too dark and not properly flesh toned.
Yes, like when they had them before they turned into fried chicken.
Right.
And then like their heels are really not stilettos.
They're like a chunky nurse heel.
Now that's a show, Bravo!
That's a show. Alright, so below deck,
are we going to watch this? No. Yes.
100%.
We have to give it one day because
one of the producers' names is
Cortland Cox. Oh, yeah.
Okay, we'll give it one episode. I mean, that name is
just too stupid not to come out with anything
good in his whole life.
Moving on.
City Sisters.
This series follows a group of single up-and-coming movers and shakers in NYC's elite circles of real estate, fashion, and media. These ladies are aggressive in their pursuit of personal and career goals.
But in this cutthroat world where egos are high and the drive to succeed is even higher, success can come at a steep cost. Now, isn't this
already the three of us, City Sisters?
I was about to say, isn't this Gagirls?
Gagirls. If it is Gagirls
with, like, a new name, then yes.
Then yes. Otherwise, no.
And by the way, what a very forced pun.
City Sisters, I think it's supposed to be, like,
City Slickers. Am I wrong?
Yeah, you're right, but it's like someone
who still remembers who fucking
Billy Crystal is.
I will have to wait to see the actual
promo, because, you know, for instance,
a year ago, if you told me about Married to Medicine,
I would say, there's no way I'm going to watch that.
But here we are. Well, and you would have been
smart. Have you seen the iTunes reviews
on that? You should go to iTunes.
They've got like one and a half stars.
Good, good.
Which is way lower than us, because we have a solid five.
And thank you all for the latest batch of reviews on iTunes.
They were hilarious.
They were all five out of five stars.
And,
oh God,
we love you people.
Yeah.
It's amazing.
So the city sisters,
my favorite thing is that they say it's a real estate fashion and media.
Like they're just like general.
They're like,
yeah,
this is,
you know, there's like a podcaster. It's like, yeah, it's, well, it's just like, it's real estate, fashion, and media. They're just general. They're like, there's a podcaster.
Yeah, it's...
Well, it's just like, it's basically the most unfocused show of all time.
It's like, okay, it's basically just three women.
It's people living in a city.
Anyway, so we've only gone through two of these, by the way.
And I guarantee you that the phrase is, worlds collide.
And the phrase is, movers and shakers are probably
going to be incorporated into the next 15 that we read and the word balancing there'll be a lot of
balancing oh my god i hate popcorn i hate all of this okay here's what i'm excited for well i'm
already upset that we haven't heard one of the characters described as the next fat person
those are my new Bravo favorites.
Well, see,
we should be working for Bravo.
Okay, this one I'm actually excited about.
Courtney Loves Dallas. Breakout star Courtney Kerr of Most Eligible
Dallas, which, by the way, should have come back
because I loved it, navigates the lively
Texas social scene with her group of sassy
dynamic friends. We're sassy
and we're dynamic.
We have so many dimensions. We're going to and we're dynamic. We have so many dimensions.
We're going to emphasize all these ridiculous descriptors that they keep using.
She's out to rope herself, the perfect southern gentleman, trying to make a name for herself in the fashion industry.
P.S. Was she ever involved with fashion?
No.
Yeah, the burgeoning fashion industry of Dallas.
But Courtney quickly finds that taking the bull by the horns isn't as easy as it may sound.
Wait, I've got a question.
I've got a question.
Wait, what was your question?
How many cliches could we fit into a two sentence description of this show?
No, my question is, and this is coming from someone who watched Most Eligible Dallas.
Who is breakout star Courtney Kerr?
Oh, you're so mean.
She's the one that was kind of sleeping with her friend, Matt, who was going bald.
I just couldn't remember what she looked like.
She's blonde.
She's from the famous Kerf Jar family.
But here's my thing.
I don't really like that Bravo is describing any of their shows as a woman roping men.
I don't think that that's appropriate, especially right after the Beverly Hills reunion and Taylor's shocked face through the whole thing.
Yeah, and I think the whole doing like a spinoff of a one-season show like a year and a half later is sort of a weird thing to do.
As if you would not watch a spinoff starring Chantal from Gal Girls.
Oh, you are correct.
Especially if she had an ex-fatty friend like they do on Most Eligible Dallas.
My God.
What would Chantal's spinoff be called?
I think it would be called The Little Cup, and it would be about a boutique in Brooklyn where you go and you buy little cups, but you don't drink out of them.
You put them on walls.
It would be like polishing lipstick off your teeth.
For 59 minutes straight.
And then you listen to Mumford & Sons.
Oh, my God.
Speaking of care jars.
Okay, well, that looks stupid.
Courtney may love Dallas.
Moving on.
I just love Courtney.
Divorce diva.
When couples go for...
I already hate it.
I do to I don't.
Vicky Ziegler is who they call to mediate, advise, and divide their assets out of court.
Why let a judge decide your fate when the divorce diva can cut through all the drama to determine who will get what?
This is another one of these stupid Bravo shows where you have like – it's like in the same vein as Millionaire Matchmaker or Tabitha.
But it's one of the generic ones like – what's the baby concierge one?
You know the baby one?
Pregnant heels.
Pregnant heels.
What a waste of my life.
All these – it's like these
things that we don't care about there was that one uh show that lasted one episode about a woman
who has a temp agency i mean this is what this is divorce eva who cares who wants to watch people
going through a divorce and have some bitch yell at them right and if we want to watch people going
through a divorce please put them on the house yeah what and What? And by the way, the word diva.
Yeah, go ahead.
I was just going to say the word diva is so 2007.
No kidding.
I was going to say, what if she really is a diva?
And she's like, you get the cause.
Bonnie, if you're going to sing it, it needs to be a Madeline Kahn Broadway show tune,
as evidenced by our iTunes comments and people love it.
She has not done a lot of Broadway recently, unfortunately.
Ever since she died, she just stopped working.
Madeline Kahn, stop being so lazy, Mads.
Wait, I want to say something
for Divorce Diva.
My only way I'll watch it is if
you have stupid white people
from Brynwood and the Divorce Diva
is like Candy Burr's mom
who's prejudiced at all
their stupidity. What is wrong
Candy?
You got divorced?
For what?
No actually she would like be
making people get divorced because remember she's
like all for divorce. Who was she telling to
divorce?
Candy's mom. Was she telling Nini like Nini get rid of Greg? Yeah she's like all for divorce. Who was she telling to divorce? The Cammy's mom was like. Was she telling NeNe, like NeNe get rid of Greg?
Yeah, she's like, sometimes it's different when you're with somebody they don't respect you.
You gotta have your own life, NeNe.
That's wrong, NeNe.
Here's what needs to happen.
They need to have a cabal.
Hold on.
Here's what needs to happen is we need to pause because that is my favorite thing ever.
Mama Joyce is seriously my favorite thing ever mama joyce is seriously my favorite thing so we still didn't get mama joyce
by the way okay we'll talk about that later so go ahead but we know we need a cabal instead of a
divorce diva we need a cabal of all the moms basically from miama and then mama joyce giving
marital counseling that's what we need yes one percent and then and then whoever loses like a big stripper
comes in and like hits him with a big black dick yeah but we could just have that happen anyway
what was that dude's name what was that dude's name that peter hired ridiculous oh ridiculous
i love that ben and i were like what is it and ronnie's like oh i got him in my cell
yeah i know i'm like a gas station owner with like pinups his name is it's not even like ridiculous it's like ridiculous it's
okay moving on eat drink love single successful beautiful and connected to the restaurant and
food industry in los angeles these ladies take on the traditionally male-dominated industry
in their own way as they juggle a world where business always mixes with
pleasure. No, it doesn't.
The rumor is that Kat O'Dell,
the editor of Eater LA, is one of
the cast members, and I actually... I like her.
Yeah, and I
spoke to one of the producers of this
a few months ago, and...
Is this Bob Gillen or Drew Brown?
Neither. Neither. I'm
actually blanking on his name right now, which is too bad.
But he says it's good.
Of course he'll say it's good.
But he says it's good.
But they had to do a lot of editing and re-editing.
This was a show that was supposed to come out like last summer, I think.
Ben, close your ears.
Ronnie, that sounds to me that it sucks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think it probably will suck.
Yeah, but I have a couple of friends who produce shows at Bravo, and that's how it is at Bravo.
They send 20-year-old out with handy cams, and then they come back with piles of shit, and then they put them in the editing room like for 10 years.
And then by the time they come to us, they've got cobwebs and stuff.
And it's like, well, maybe it will be less bad because it's a couple of years has passed.
It's like, look, it's not wine.
Well, you know what, though?
You know what?
Guy Girls went through that process apparently.
Apparently Guy Girls, they spent a huge amount of time in post trying to build the stories.
Who cares?
Thank God it saw the light of day.
Thank Jesus for that.
But here's my question.
Why are they not doing a show based on three single, successful, beautiful, connected to the podcast industry starring the three of us?
It's going to come. I could be the currently fat friend.
Oh my god, stop.
I just object because I have to
wear, like, pants.
Is this based on that Julia...
No, he doesn't.
It is not based on Julia
Roberts' terrible movie.
No, no, no. It's just that Bravo
needs to get more food
shows, and they haven't been able to make anything hit.
So they're going to follow a food blogger and then I think maybe a food writer and then a chef or something like that.
It's whatever.
The only food blogger that I like is the guy who was working for Bethany, that curly-haired freak show from The Real Housewives slash Bethany's spinoff.
I want them to follow one of those guys who works at a bowling alley and sprays the
insides of the shoes with the anti-fungal stuff.
Yeah. Now that's a show,
you guys. What would it be called?
What would it be called? The spray down?
Yes.
When life calls for the fungus,
Gregory has to find out
if he's going to be rolling a strike or living
in the gutter.
Spraying? Bowling for love. out if he's going to be rolling a strike or living in the gutter. Spray or
bowling for love.
Or the Super
Bowl.
Or spare
me some change.
He needs to change.
He needs to have a makeover. He's working
in a bowling alley. They need to
dress him up so he can find a girl.
So it's called Spare Me Some Change. Or it's called Strike it rich and he's secretly like a multi-millionaire who owns bowling
alleys across the country but he but he really just is like a blue collar kind of dude lucky
strike strike it rich oh my god god why aren't we working for these why aren't we executives people
what is wrong with us all right let's go on to the next one because we still have two shows to
talk about okay by the way no wait i have one more thing to say business sidebar business does
not always mix with pleasure in the restaurant industry you know what the restaurant industry is
it's a terrorist job it's horrible you're there forever you're on your feet people are horrible
to you it's terrible you smell bar rot fuck the restaurant industry give me a break i don't want
to see people falling in love in a restaurant. Bar rot.
Gross.
Yeah.
I wouldn't know.
I've never worked in a food service and or retail.
All right.
So the next one.
And or.
I love it.
The next one is called Extreme Guide to Parenting, which means do I even need to read the description?
No, you don't have to.
I already want to vomit.
Parent, like kids and families do not work on Bravo.
This is a dumb idea.
No kidding.
It should just be like kids sitting in front of a TV.
That's really how kids are parented anyway.
My nieces are very well behaved and they know a few Spanish words.
My sister just swaps them down in front of Dora.
Dear Bravo, the only people that are watching your network are single, sad women and evil gay men.
And we don't want to watch anything having to do with children.
We want to see bitchy ladies pulling each other's hair out and maybe maybe every once in a while, Tabitha can take something over.
Yeah, but no babies, please.
No babies ever.
And that includes Skylar.
But I do like this part because in the description it does say severe punishments.
That sounds good.
I like watching kids get beat.
Okay, maybe I'll give this one a chance, Bravo.
Nice work.
All right, so we can skip the next two because we've talked about them on this show before.
Fashion Queens and the Candy Factory.
Yeah, but Fashion Queens got picked up.
Fashion Queens got picked up and so did the Candy Factory.
And let me tell you, that first pilot that they rolled out of the Candy Factory was a piece of shit.
I actually missed that.
Well, this one actually featured this preview.
They showed it during Atlanta.
And it actually featured someone who was singing on key.
So that's good.
That's good.
Remember when Bravo tried to do a singing competition called Platinum Hits starring Joel and Cara Deaguardi?
I was obsessed with that show, and it only had 300,000 viewers.
Good luck, Candy Burris.
Yeah.
Oh, that was a good show.
I still remember one of the songs.
Walk through walls.
Don't even get me started on the other one.
I love L.A.
It's my city.
Sung by Jackie Tone,
former American Idol contestant.
She was so obnoxious.
Follow her on the Twitter.
Shut your mouth, bitch.
I didn't like her.
Can we just... We've got a bunch left. Shut your mouth, bitch. Shut your mouth. I didn't like her. Shut up. Yeah, I didn't either. Wait. So, okay.
Let's – can we just – we've got a bunch left.
Should we just talk about the ones we are excited about since this – How about I just tell you the names and then you can tell me yes or no?
Okay.
Okay.
Newlyweds, the first year.
Yes.
I really like the preview for this and I like that um it's in typical bravo fashion you don't know
if the couples are actually going to make it because reality tv ruins couples and they get
newlyweds and they all hate each other like none of them actually like each other which i love
because marriage makes you miserable okay and ben why are you saying no um it's just because it has
the words i didn't like it i didn't i saw the preview i didn't like it okay next one property
envy uh no especially because it's such a terrible pun.
I mean, like, really.
Just because, yeah, it doesn't even sound like penis envy.
It's just Property Envy.
Ronnie, yay or nay?
I'm looking at the description.
They open their doors to a panel of passionate property experts in this new panel talk show that explores the world of luxury.
I don't want to watch a talk show about real estate.
I'm sorry.
Guess what?
It's called Million Dollar Decorators, and all you't want to watch a talk show about real estate. I'm sorry. Guess what? It's called,
it's called million dollar decorators.
And all you bitches need to do is re up some Martin Lawrence
Ballard into our lives.
Thank you.
Yes.
Yeah.
I guess I have no interest in this unless someone is wearing
an ascot.
Ooh.
And shopping at fresh and easy.
Oh,
I need to get my discount grapes.
Well,
those grapes from Inja.
Do you happen to have any clementines on sale?
Clarence, I must eat these bananas today.
I don't like them spotty.
Okay, what's next?
Southern charm.
No.
No.
I'm sick of southern people.
You know, listen, I'm a Texan, which I guess isn't most people from the real south would not say.
Don't admit it.
I know.
Bush ruined Texas.
You know that, right?
And also all the Texans.
But I'm sick of people making fun of southern people.
I feel like we get put on TV just because we talk kind of funny or say little meme-off phrases here and there.
Like, don't leave me out like a chickie in the rain.
Or something like that.
Listen, every region.
Oh my god, that's stupid and hilarious.
Let's put him on TV.
Every region has its moment.
You know, there was Jersey.
And before that, there was a lot of Boston reality stuff.
You know, it's just time for Texas and the South to get their due.
It's okay.
Blame Honey Boo Boo, Honey Child.
We gave you people Whataburger.
Get off our asses!
Okay,
speaking of Southern Charm,
the next show is called
Taking Atlanta.
Dear Bravo,
enough with the fucking shows
out of Atlanta.
I know.
This is one I have to see
the preview.
If there's a lot of, like,
fighting and funny
drag queen type ladies,
then I might watch.
Okay, well, let me read the description.
I know we're not supposed to
because we were going long already,
but Atlanta just got even hotter
as this group of ambitious young go-getters
on the cusp of realizing their dreams
work hard but play even harder.
They are shaking up
city's fashion, music, hospitality,
and real estate scenes.
Okay, first of all,
they use the phrase movers and shakers.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
So how does a concierge and a bellboy at a crappy double treat mix in the same circle as a real estate tycoon, a music intern, and a fashion person who doesn't really have a job?
The answer to that question is in Big Rich Atlanta, which has all sorts of trash mingling with, well, pretty much other trash.
But the point is this.
Watch Big Rich Atlanta.
You don't need this show.
This actually kind of sounds like what the initial first few seasons of MTV's The Real
World was trying to do when each one of the people, one of the cast members was like,
I'm an aspiring rapper.
I'm an aspiring dancer.
I'm an aspiring country.
Blah, blah, blah.
And this kind of sounds like Bravo's ripping off MTV.
Yeah, probably. And it won't work. Oh, damn, blah, blah. And this kind of sounds like Bravo's ripping off MTV. Yeah, probably.
And it won't work.
Oh, damn.
Okay, next.
Thicker Than Water, The Tankards.
It's a docuseries that follows former professional basketball player,
popular gospel, I don't even need to keep reading.
No, no, no, this is not right.
They're basically trying to build on their black audience.
I'm just going to say it right there.
That's what they're doing with Atlanta, which is fine.
Right, don't get greedy.
You already have Real Housewives of Atlanta followed by Married to Medicine and Fashion Queens all on Sunday night.
Do not go any more BET on us than that because guess what?
BET will come back to snap you.
Yeah, they will.
BET will kick your ass in an alley.
As they should.
Okay, there's – oh, Ronnie's going to hate this one.
It's called Two Fit Girls. Yeah, fuck that. Fuck you yeah fuck that fuck you fit girls no no no i don't care this is gonna be like um the pirates
of silicon valley whatever sort of startup different than any other bravo show that there's
two of them excuse me it's the tone it up girls katrina and karina guess what i already hate them
but the only thing that i need to see in the fitness universe
on Bravo is Jackie Warner. Why
the hell did Workout with Jackie
Warner ever go away? It was amazing. I don't know.
But the description in this one
says that these girls use their street smarts
not book smarts to push themselves, which
is hilarious to even say that
they have book smarts. Who writes
these press releases? I don't know.
But I'll tell you one thing. The next one is the first one
that I'm truly excited about.
This is the one
that I will tune in.
I'll let you read it
because I am so excited.
It's called
Ladies of London.
Sweetie!
Darling!
Mommy's crying too, darling.
Squish, squish, darling.
If you remember,
if you remember
all the way back in the days
of Housewives Hoedown,
I always said
they needed to do something
like a Housewives
sort of in London,
and that's basically what this is.
Oh my God, who's Sally is ringing?
I don't have a cell phone on.
It's not even, it's my landline,
and someone's trying to buzz up.
Hold on, let me go hang up on them real quick.
Oh, that's a landline.
Matt, you read the description
while I hang up on this, people.
Hold on.
Okay, set in the glittering,
class-conscious city of London,
this new series follows a group
of elite British socialites and American expats
enjoying the upper crust of the
high society world. And while these
Brits and Americans all live in the same city,
have been married to rock stars,
dated royalty, are darlings of the
paparazzi, and enjoy wealth beyond belief,
they are still culturally
worlds apart. That means there's
a black cast member. Yeah.
I think it sounds perfect.
I love it, I love it, I love it.
I want it to be like Ab Fab, just because I miss someone saying,
listen, I want clear surfaces,
alright? I don't want things on places.
Safi, darling.
Darling.
Yes, I'm already addicted to this show.
I can't wait for it.
And BBC, this is actually produced by BBC,
and you know, they do a good job over there.
Yeah, I want some nice passive-aggressive British stuff going on.
I'm all for it.
Yeah, sign me up.
I'm watching.
I don't think they're going to be passive-aggressive.
I think they're going to be like the people you see on Big Brother.
Oh, yeah.
That's good, too.
The best show ever.
Sidebar.
Okay, now we're getting into the real mix.
So the Ladies of London sounds amazing. And so does the
next one to me. So does the next one. Princesses
Long Island.
I'm in. I'm in. I'm in already.
You don't even have to describe it. It's
basically about
awful
women from Great Neck.
I'm already envisioning
lots of juicy coacher
sweatsuits with the word juicy
written across their butts
oh my god
no the day that I decided to move out of New York
I was in a subway train with bitches
like this and I was like you know what
my head is going to explode if I have to hear them say one more
thing I'm out of here
and also I pushed an old woman down on the ground
don't you want to hear about what's going on on Northern Boulevard
oh no let's go get married at Leonard's you guys I have never been on the ground. Don't you want to hear about what's going on on Northern Boulevard? Oh, no!
Let's go get married at Leonard's.
You guys, I have never been to Long Island in my life. I have no idea. Yes, you have.
You went to Syracuse.
That's not Long Island, right?
Isn't that just upstate? I don't know.
No, I'm just joking because most of Long Island
seems to be upstate. You almost fooled me.
Clearly, I'm blocking that shit out.
I like that for a moment you thought you might have been on Long Island.
Oh my god, I'm so dumb.
Well, this is the first time I've ever heard the term meet members of the boomerang generation.
What the fuck is a boomerang generation?
I don't know.
It's like, in that our age, like, people who are old enough to have suffered through Eddie Murphy's bullshit movie Boomerang.
Excuse me, I am not from the same generation as you.
As we discussed last week i was
born in the 80s well uh i'm part of the boomerang generation you know all this talk about boomerang
would be the perfect transition to atlanta but i think you guys probably want to talk about
orange county don't you um there's like 500 other things we have to discuss yeah no i'm the other
ones are scripted and we all know we're not going to watch any of the scripted shows.
And the rest are also in development. They haven't been greenlit.
Let me tell you a few of the titles, though, that make me angry.
First one is Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce.
It already makes me mad. I don't want to watch it.
Oh, yeah, that's horrible. Stupid.
100 Days of Summer.
Isn't that starring...
Isn't that a movie with Zoe What's-Her-Face?
Yeah. That was 500 Days of Summer.
Oh. Totally different. Days of Summer. Oh.
Totally different.
Okay.
High and low.
Executive produced by Michael Jackson.
What?
Oh, my God.
If he's still alive, how is his family going to win that $40 billion lawsuit?
Fucking Jackson.
Shut up, Jacksons.
Let's see.
There's Ivy League Confidential.
Heiresses.
I'll watch Heiresses.
Oh, it's from an upcoming novel
from Sarah. I love that they're
already making a show out of novels that haven't
even come out yet.
America's Best Restaurant.
Yes, I will watch that.
Because I watched the first one that
failed and I loved it.
Oh wait, here's one that I know
we will be watching for sure.
Rich People's Problems, which is pretty much actually what we talked about before,
which is that when the rich and famous of Atlanta have a dispute,
they know there's only one lawyer who will deliver some cold, hard justice.
Phaedra Parks of the Real Housewives of Atlanta.
I hate her. I hate her guts. She is so stupid.
Phaedra can say the most witless things ever.
She can try and be Judge Judy without the wit.
She doesn't even make any sense anymore.
She just says it in a funny tone and squints her eyes.
She'll be like, you crashed a car.
You know what else you crashed?
The sky.
What?
That doesn't even make sense, Phaedra.
She'll be like, ooh, you can put that judgment in, yo,
but donk-a-donk, because you know yo, but donk-a-donk.
Full of judgment.
Excuse me.
That ain't delicious, but it's donklicious.
Nobody has enough time
to star in two
TV shows, have a husband,
a former felon, have a child,
be pregnant with your second child, be doing
donkey booty videos, be cremating
dogs on the side. I mean, like, this woman
has too much shit on her plate.
Yeah, but she does it all extremely half-assedly,
which is why she is terrible.
She is terrible.
We have to move on to our main shows,
because we, I think probably
around five-ish, we might go back
in time and record the episode that aired
before this one.
Oh, okay.
So, why don't we talk about
Real Housewives of Orange County,
which premiered.
You are not talking about that yet.
Why not?
Because we have to be excited
for the fact that
Bravo has picked up
Oh, yes.
my favorite show,
Interior Therapy with Jeff Lewis
for a second season.
Oh, that show was terrible.
But they did pick up,
they also picked up Shaz.
I'm more excited about that.
Okay, I'm just going to run down.
Flipping out, Tabitha Takes Over, Million Dollar Listing
Los Angeles, Top Chef Masters,
Million Dollar Listing New York,
Shaz of Sunset, The Real Housewives of Miami,
Yay!
Chef Roble, boo.
Vanderpump Rules,
Interior Therapy with Jeff Lewis, Don't Be Tardy, as we know, Chef Roble, boo. Vanderpump Rules. Yay, reluctantly.
Interior Therapy with Jeff Lewis.
Don't Be Tardy, as we know.
We've seen all the previews.
Jersey Housewives, Beverly Hills Housewives,
Atlanta Housewives, New York Housewives.
Top Chef and Inside the Actor's Studio.
And Watch What Happens Live.
Boom, boom, boom.
What's not on that list,
because they are too early in their seasons right now to make any final decisions,
are The Rachel Zoe Project and It's a Brad Brad World and Dukes of Melrose.
I personally do not think any of them are coming back because the ratings are in the toilet.
Yeah, those are really, really bad.
And it doesn't look like there's any hope.
I tried to watch it.
Like, I watched Rachel Zoe and I thought it was so funny.
And then I turned it on again.
And I was like, I can't. This woman's an idiot idiot and all she does is walk around saying oh my god bananas cray-cray sky-sky
escalators
Which is not much different from gallery girls except at least we had like the whole fight between the uptown downtown girls
Yeah, and it's sort of sad when someone is like 65 years old and still speaking like a gallery girl who's 22.
Rachel Zoe's only 39.
I know.
I'm just talking in terms of her face look appearance.
That made no sense.
My brain is rotting.
Her lip implants are 39.
That bitch ain't 39.
Well, she's a good liar.
I will say this.
I am sad to not see on the list.
Academy is a new scripted podcast that follows Ava Richards,
played by HBO's Industries' Myhala Herald,
a brilliant scholarship student who has to quickly adapt
to her newfound eat-or-be-eaten world.
Ava's ambitions take hold and her small-town values break
in hopes of becoming the first scholarship student to make the list.
Bishop Gray's all-coveted academic top
10, curated by the headmaster himself. But after realizing she has no chance at The List on her own,
she reluctantly accepts an invitation to a secret underground society that pulls the strings on
campus life and academic success. If she bends to their will, she'll have everything she's ever
dreamed of. But at what cost? Academy takes you into the world of a cutthroat private school
where power, money, and sex collide in a game of life and death.

From Wondery, this is Black History for Real.
I'm Francesca Ramsey.
And I'm Conscious Lee.
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 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.
She is a heroine to some.
As a fighter for black rights, she is a villain to others.

Blowout
starring Jonathan Anton. I've been waiting for the
past five years for them to re-up the show,
but it's not coming back. I don't think it's like
Family Guy. I don't think it's having
some resurgence.
On DVD, it's not having a resurgence.
Shockingly, Blowout is not doing really well
on Cartoon Network, so I don't think it's
going to come back. Anyway, I miss
Blowout. I miss Working Out or whatever
with Jackie Warner. You miss all the shows without.
And I miss
fucking Gallery Girls. God damn it.
Gosh damn it.
Okay, now you can move on.
Orange County! Here's a show
that is coming back and has come back.
We had our eighth season
premiere this week.
What did you guys think?
Amazing.
Thoughts on Vicky's new face?
Wait, we can't even go there yet.
I need to brace myself.
Okay, okay.
Strap yourself in.
I will say this.
Go ahead.
I was just going to say, I think when we saw Vicky, that was her new face, wasn't it?
Because remember she looked cray-cray and we thought, oh, well, maybe she just looks different in real life.
They must have been shooting then, which means that that was her new face
and that's why she looked so crazy.
When was that last time we hung out and we went to that
show together? That was in
October and this looked like it was shot over the
summer.
No, didn't you see when
Vicky's grandson was
born, they showed the date. Oh, yeah, you know
you're right. And I have to say, I don't remember her having that strange Wicked Witch of the West chin when we saw her.
No, when we saw her, she did not have that face.
Her face looked puffy.
Well, it's horrifying.
She looked like one of those candy corns that got stepped on by a muddy shoe.
She didn't look right.
She looked like my big toe after it's been sitting in a bath for about three hours.
I'm not being mean.
I'm actually giving an actual physical comparison.
Well, I did want to say I'm sorry publicly because it made me feel bad.
I mean, she wasn't talking about us, obviously.
But it made me feel bad when she said she got a facelift because Slade was calling her miss piggy because we talk about people's physical appearance all the time
and like i i would feel horrible if someone went and disfigured themselves just because we called
them a burnt piece of toast or something like that oh my god if you think about that carol
radziwill i don't even know what she's done to herself after all the shit we've said
yeah i'm just imagining her just going she's going to a doctor
being like take it all off take my entire face off make me make my face look like it did the day
before it happened oh my god stop vicky's face well i didn't see her on watch what happens but
where apparently her face was all settled in but her new
face I agree with Ronnie which is to say
you know we've sort of we have
made fun of her face and I do feel bad
that she then felt the need to butcher
it even more because the chin
everything it looked crazy
it looks crazy
she looks so much
older like the way
her mouth now puckers weird on both sides of her mouth pucker in a weird way.
And she looks like she has a creepy old lady granny marionette mouth.
And it makes her look 20 years older.
You know what?
I think really the biggest problem is that chin implant.
I don't think that chin implant was necessary.
It's very distracting.
And like all the other stuff is fine.
But the chin implant.
No, it wasn't all fine.
Are you kidding me? Her eyes now look
tiny, and then she painted them with all that
black raccoon makeup, so she has
squinty little teeny eyes that get lost in her
big doughy head, and then she has a
gigantic protruding
chin that was so
brushed up with extra powder,
and it was freaking me out. It looked like
a cone head coming out of her chin.
Yeah.
She looked like a mime because like her face was one color and then
everything else was another one.
Cause it was still like the plastic was still healing,
but someone in my family,
I don't want to mention their name.
Um,
it's the person who gave birth to me,
had a facelift one time and oh my God.
Okay.
So it was like three weeks I think.
And then my dad came in and caught her.
I mean, someone else in my family came in and saw her standing in front of the mirror sobbing and going, I did this to me.
And I remember.
Is that why your mother drinks so much?
No, this is during.
This is during.
Is this why you were born with four nipples and gills?
No, I think I'm the reason she drinks so much.
Oh. Is this why you were born with four nipples and gills? No, I think I'm the reason she drinks so much. Oh, okay.
But she, I remember that it took a good year for her face to not look crazy.
Like, crazy.
It just, it takes a long time to calm down.
That's why all the women on the housewives look crazy, because they don't have, like, a year to calm down.
They get it, and they go back to work, you know?
God bless them.
Even Heidi Montag's face actually
calmed down. I'm happy to report.
Yeah, when you, you know, ladies, look,
if you're getting face surgery and it doesn't
look right, don't just keep getting it. It's not
like a bad, I mean, it is like a bad haircut.
You don't just keep cutting the hair to make it look
better. You gotta wait for that shit to grow out a little bit.
Yeah, loosen up a little bit.
You know, it's like breaking in a pair of jeans.
Or it's like when you go, like, you know, you're, like, trying to look all sexy for, loosen up a little bit. You know, it's like breaking in a pair of jeans. Or it's like when you go, like, you
know you're trying to look all sexy for a
new date, and you're like, I want to get my hair cut.
Get your hair cut ten days before that date, bitch.
Because if you get it cut the day before, you're going to look like
a freak. Yeah, seven days.
I would do. I would do seven days. I'm a ten day
kind of guy. Well, I have a buzz cut,
so there's a big difference between seven days
and ten days. I got a fade last time.
I look like I'm Vinny from the Jersey Shore. I'm not gonna lie. Where do you get your fate at Trenton trendsetters?
They're really good. No, I go to bolt where they serve you beer while you get your hair old that sounds
Exotic the monkey house. It's on Melrose. It's all the rage bitches
I got it I got I get mine done in my bathroom
And I get it done on the same day that I shave my balls. And I look like Uncle Fester.
So screw both of you.
It's a full service salon.
Yeah, totally.
If I come over, will you do it to me?
Sure.
And Benjamin, you also have a goatee, which I've seen on Instagram.
No, I shaved today.
Do we need to have a discussion?
I would never have a goatee.
It was a shadow.
Let's have a discussion about Ben's selfie madness
Excuse me, Matt Woodfield
Matt Woodfield, the selfie king of Instagram
What?
What is that?
Oh, when you take a picture of yourself?
Oh my god, Ronnie, you are clearly not from the boomerang generation
Yeah, this is so not boomerang
They threw me and I just never came back
You are from the Stone Age generation
Unless you have a BAPS wig on, you can leave this party.
Yeah, that goatee is not okay
and it was not a shadow. It was a full-on
goatee. I swear to God. I swear
to God. And I can take a picture
that I'm totally shaved today.
I have a huge bushy beard and I don't know
if I'm going to keep it or not. It's like really scratchy.
So anyway.
What? Did something happen? just no i just said wow oh that's how i said way you see we have a nice awkward pause so back
to the show so what else happened i mean i feel like it was just basically that vicky got a new
face uh oh uh let's see alexis and jim they are finally done renting and they've finally moved into a house.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
They didn't move into just a house.
It's a 6,000-square-foot house with five bedrooms and six bathrooms.
And she rattled off all this other shit and then you looked at all their nasty art projects.
And one very tacky little sculpture on the piano.
What is wrong with these people?
What do you guys know about art?
Huh?
What do you know about art huh what do you know
about art i love that alexis sort of like um you know she was saying how she doesn't do her fox
five thing anymore which is a shame and she doesn't do oh she goes she stepped back from
alexis couture as if almost as if it was it was taking up too much of her time well and then she
also made it sound like ben she was too busy to do fox 5 actually
no you're too retarded to do fox 5 and they fired you you were fired and no one bought any of your
mini maxi dresses or don't get it twisted okay but then i loved how she was like you know i just i
realized that i really want to step back and focus on family it's like no bitch you didn't want to
step back and focus on family jim told you to step back and focus on family yeah no kidding
she needed some time to go into that foreclosed home that they're like squatting in who where the hell said where
the hell did they get money to buy a home they do not have money who are they like the rest of
development they're like the rest of the blutes you know they're just a bottle home they're totally
in southern valley closed home whatever happened to the trampoline park because god i kind of want
to have my birthday party it's open it's called the tiny the trampoline park? Because, God, I kind of want to have my birthday party at one of them. It's open.
It's called the Tiny Terrorist Trampoline Park.
Oh, and by the way, and getting back to Vicky for one second, here's where the first problem was with Vicky's face.
When she said, well, I decided to go to Alexis' plastic surgeon because he did such a great job.
Okay, that's the problem right there.
That's where Vicky went wrong.
Okay?
She should have gone to Dr. Terry instead of Dr. What's-His-Face, whatever.
Well, she should have gone to Henson Studios because, like she said, she ended up looking like a Muppet anyway.
At least she would have been given a more palatable personality.
I did love when Vicky said, they can tell it to my face, my numb face.
Yeah, and I love how she phrased the whole thing like well i don't care
if someone has a problem with what i did to myself like it's like poor thing you know she's had those
i did this to me moments i just know she has she's probably you see her like sipping chardonnay and
all goes dribbling down her face because she can't close her lips yes it's like death becomes her
i was noticing on beverly hills like how how Kyle keeps sticking her tongue out like Cher.
And I think it's because of all that Botox.
She can't feel her damn mouth anymore.
She's just trying to make sure that drool is not coming down.
She has fillers all around her mouth because she's one of those ladies that gets those like vertical wrinkles all around her mouth.
And she's clearly plumped it up.
And she has to keep sticking her tongue out to keep the hole open so she
can breathe.
She keeps spreading out her blowhole.
Yeah.
Wait, so can we
talk about the opening? We need to talk about the
opening of the episode, which was Brianna
is having a baby, Vicky is becoming
a grandma, and the crazy thing is
Brianna, who clearly was hating on her mother last season for dating Brooks, and her hubby, who is about to be deployed, are actually moving in.
And Vicky is not moving out of Cotto da Casa.
She is staying in that house.
Oh, yeah.
She will.
Listen, you can't get those Caliente signs anywhere.
And that one came with the house.
So she's going to stay there.
That is true.
Well, she was going to lose a lot of money on that house.
So I guess she decided it was worth not selling and she they must have got a raise
over there at the oc because alexis has a new home and she decided to stay and vicky's keeping
her giant home that she doesn't need they got some and gretchen has a new clock from cost plus
world market so oh my god she's also the kind of chick who buys those like
fat little ceramic chef guys with a big like poofy hat and like a checkered like waiter outfit who's
like caroline manzo yeah and like and in his hand is like a little platter where you could put like
some cupcakes on it and you know you've seen that shit at tj maxx like oh chip like the corners are
all chipped and it has like a red tag on it oh absolutely and did you by the way if we're going to talk about gretchen's decor for a second what
is up with the stack of sunglasses going up the ceiling like all the way to the ceiling in her
kitchen do you notice that it makes me crazy you know the thing is this i just try to like
cover my eyes and just listen to the words because I can't look at her house. It's so difficult to look at.
And by the way, Slade, so they talked about that.
Slade finally got a job as a DJ on Playlist 92.7.
Let me tell you how much Slade sucks.
He sucks so much that that radio station went under
and turned into a Christian radio station.
So he is no longer employed.
They were like, yeah, no, 92.7.
Playlist 92.7 is no longer Playlist 92.7.
It became Christian.
And the only way I can rationalize that or understand that
is that they realized they had Slade Smiley on their staff
and they just felt the need to repent massively for their sins.
Yes, that's when people turn Christian, when they hit rock bottom.
Yeah, when you get Slade Smiley
involved. Look at any
AA meeting or fucking Death Row.
Slade Smiley shows up. He just
talked to a bunch of drug addicts and they're like, you know what?
I think it's time to turn around my life.
Yeah, I know that Kim Richards is still using because she hasn't
started spouting Jesus yet.
She will. Give her time. We're talking to Slade.
Give her time.
We're talking to Slade.
Yeah.
You know, I mean, not much happened on this episode.
It was fun.
What are you talking about?
It was just fun.
A lot happened.
Okay, well, Tamara is still a horrible, horrible human being.
Oh, yeah.
And I love that she's acting like she has no idea why Vicky's so mad at her and how all this is partly Vicky's fault.
No, it's not, bitch.
You totally turned on her and started fights for no reason.
And P.S., Tamara has some surgery too, but hers is actually – it made her look better, I think.
Yeah, I agree.
Tamara looks better.
She looks good.
Vicky, Alexis, and Gretchen all look worse.
It's crazy because you know I hate Tamara Barney – Tamara Vieth Barney more.
because you know I hate Tamara Barney Tamara Vieth Barney
more Tammy Sue Vieth Barney
more than any housewife
ever ever ever ever
but girlfriend looks
like the best one in the entire cast
she does she looks younger than Gretchen almost
and Gretchen is about two years two or three years older
than us yeah yeah exactly
which is sad Gretchen's hair and her
teeth keep getting bigger Eddie was doing
the promo thing for her her gym which is cut and he had like's hair and her teeth keep getting bigger. Eddie was doing the promo thing for her gym,
which is cut,
and he had different things on the computer screen,
different versions of the logo,
and one of them had these swirling lines through it,
and it really does look like it says the C word,
gym,
which is so perfect.
I just love it.
I think it's so hilarious that neither one of them noticed
that it blatantly says cunt gym.
Love it.
We still think that he's a homosexual, correct?
I don't know.
I think he's like a gay guy who's just
done being promiscuous
and is like, I'll just fucking marry a housewife.
I'll be around the drama all the time.
You know she's dried up like an
old piece of Parmesan cheese you've had
in the refrigerator for three years.
It's not like it's going to require much. anybody who talks about his sex as much as stupid ass
tamra barney does is probably not having it i learned that in high school oh
oh my god i don't even know what to say to that but okay um okay can we get to the clam bake and
can we get to um how i'm already seeing visions of the way Heather treats her husband
is very kind of similar to the way Adrian treats Paul,
and we saw that they are now divorced.
Well, the difference with that is that Adrian was the one with the money
in that relationship, and in this relationship, Adrian is the poor one,
so that bitch ain't going no place.
Yeah, you mean Heather's the poor one.
Heather's the poor one.
Yeah, sorry.
I also get the sense that Heather is a lot smarter than Adrian, by the way.
Oh, no doubt, no doubt.
But I'm just thinking, like, she's kind of a bitch.
And Terry is also nicer than Paul.
Oh, yeah, she's got to stick up her ass just like Adrian does.
And Terry is always trying to, like, goof for the cameras, just like Paul.
He's just the same.
And trust me, he loses his shit on her all the time, just like Paul.
I can just see it.
These shows are so similar.
You just know how it's going to all end up.
So it's like we're going to need the divorce diva.
I actually think that Heather is sleeping with the caterer who we have seen last season in the house.
He's gay.
I don't know.
They have like a weird relationship and I think that they're definitely banging.
I got a distinctly gay vibe.
He made a
gay comment about the husband he he said uh are you staring at my wife and he said partly
or something like that like he was also like hitting on terry and then terry was all uncomfortable
am i the only one who sees this come on people put your gay glasses on
i'm still focused on all the crap that was going on and like whenever i look at gretchen's house
i hit pause and then i start counting all the things from TJ Maxx that upset me.
It's like Highlights Magazine.
Yeah, exactly.
I feel like you're kind of getting at me right now because you know that my entire house is furnished by Ross Dress for Less, right?
Wait, by the way, for the record, I have plenty of TJ Maxx and Marshalls and Ross stuff in my apartment.
For the record, I have plenty of TJ Maxx and Marshalls and Ross stuff in my apartment.
But the key is when you go into those places, there's the crap that's there because no one wants it.
And then there's the crap that fell through the cracks that you find.
But Gretchen is the one who gets all the crap. The only thing that she doesn't get are the martini glasses that say Diva on them because those are all at the Posh Boussique in New Jersey.
You know that Gretchen has those in her cabinet.
boutique in new jersey you know that gretchen has those in her cabinet i mean she cannot resist a faux like distressed tin rusted rooster which is hanging on the door to her garage
she cannot resist like a faux like american flag pre-distressed like welcome sign that she probably
puts dangling from her mailbox she loves this shit totally she
goes to the art section and buys that like plastic portrait of an eye chart but it really says like
love everything well she probably has like paintings of whales and dolphins you know on
like in her living room oh my gosh she was totally that girl who went to the mall and got dolphin
t-shirts in high school and you know that you know that she probably has a giant assortment of dishes and containers that look like the things that are
supposed to go inside it so like a thing like a girl something that holds garlic that looks like
a big thing of garlic or like something that holds onions that's in the shape of a big onion or like
a watermelon basket or something weird like that you know she's like very literal with her dishware. She's very literal.
I love that she's like, hey, why do you name your party a clam bake?
If I had a party with ham, I wouldn't call it a ham off.
Oh, my God.
I wanted to punch her when she said that.
She's like, who throws a clam bake?
I'm like, everyone.
Look, here we are at the presidential house of the presidentials.
Oh, my God. look here we are at the presidential house of the presidentials okay but really did heather need to hire two massive bodyguards for the front of her party
she bought it she bought them so that sarah couldn't get in
for bogate 2.0 well all she has to do is put a little cake in the front she just has to put a
little cake in the front of the house with a little trap and Sarah's gonna go over to it and then like a net will fall on her
and then everything will be fine.
No need for security guards.
It's a very Kenya Moore move.
Exactly.
She'd be like, Sarah, I'm sorry, but
you don't have your BAPS wig on so we can't
have you at the Clamping.
I specifically asked you to be Halle Berry
and BAPS for the Clamping.
What kind of world do we live in?
Okay, so what else happened in this one?
So Tamara's afraid to see Vicky.
Vicky's ignoring Tamara.
Okay, I don't even care about all that right now.
What I do care about is in some preview,
I'm not sure if it was the one they showed right at the end
or if it was when they showed before.
Whatever.
It was the preview at the very end.
I mean, the episode was mediocre at best,
but the preview for the season was out of control.
Amazing.
Go ahead, Ryan.
Amazing.
Where the son-in-law calls Vicky a bitch.
That white trash motherfucker.
You do not do that.
You're living in her fucking soon-to-be-foreclosed-on mansion.
You don't call her a bitch?
Yes, you do, because if you act like a bitch, you are a bitch. No, you do't call her a bitch yes you do because if you act like
a bitch you are a bitch no you do no no no by some little runt some poor guy who can't even
make enough money to move out and now he's serving the country how about you serve your baby and get
a real job fool yeah i'm gonna get some army moms after me you come on i'm with ronnie on this i'm
not i'm not against the military, but you know what?
You can have your own housing, too.
Why don't you go to military housing?
I've watched Army Wives.
I know how fun that is.
Or just even House Hunters.
Yeah, or just be respectful to Vicky.
How about that, ass?
Why are you Team Vicky?
Just because she has a sad new client?
Because Slade made her upset?
That's ridiculous.
We're not Team Vicky.
Vicky is horrible.
We're not Team Vicky. We're Team
Class. And that's the whole point
of this podcast, that these people have no class.
And we're here
gawking at their classless ways.
Says the guy who's making fun of his faces.
I am Team Brianna until the end
of time because she regulated her mother
so hardcore last season by telling her
I cannot be part of your life if Brooks is in your life and I will stand by Brianna and her man and her baby for the rest of time because she regulated her mother so hardcore last season by telling her I cannot be part of your life if Brooks is
in your life and I will stand by Brianna and
her man and her baby for the rest of time.
But Brianna did it in an extremely classy
loving way. She was not mean and she
did not call her mom a bitch. Now this guy
is some snot nose little hanger on
who comes on to live in a mansion
instead of like properly supporting his family.
Mark your words right now
that when we see this episode unfold,
you're going to go,
Matt, you were right.
She deserved everything he said.
Well, maybe he's not even talking to her.
That's the other thing.
They sometimes edit it to make it look like.
Maybe he's talking to the baby.
Maybe he's talking about someone else.
He's talking to the baby.
Tra is a little bitch.
Maybe I'm calling you a bitch
because you're acting like a little bitch.
Bitch.
Bitch. Bitch.
It would be great if he was actually talking to Brooks.
Yeah, for right now, I'm not liking him, and he's making me really anti-American military.
That's all I'm going to say.
He's turning me into a terrorist, all right?
I do not approve of this character on the show.
Neither do I.
All right, any last thoughts on OC?
The season preview looks amazing.
And I cannot tell you how excited I am for the return of Laurie wearing hyphen Peterson because she comes back and she fights with Tamra.
I'm excited for that.
I'm also excited to meet the new girl who looks sort of like an anorexic Denise Richards.
So I'm excited about that.
Anorexic Denise Richards with a gum disease?
My god, look at that horse mouth.
I think she looks like Dead Eyes Audrina from The Hills.
Oh, my God.
She's Audrina Patridge meets a horse meets Denise Richards.
Meets The Walking Dead.
Meets The Walking Dead with a lot of money because don't forget that her family is very well off.
They live within their means.
They just have a lot of means.
Cut to her speeding away in a Maserati.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's go on to Atlanta.
It was the season finale of Atlanta.
I was thoroughly entertained by this finale because it was so stupid.
The big controversy.
The whole thing was that Kenya finally had her gala for no reason that was honoring iconic black women in film.
And she demanded that Portia show up as Halle Berry in BAPS.
And to me, the request alone was hilarious and passive-aggressive.
But then, of course, Portia shows up as Halle Berry in Dorothy Dandridge.
And the shit hit the fan.
Go.
and the shit hit the fan.
Go.
Well, I thought it was really funny to find out that the reason that she wanted her in BAPS
is because Kenya was really producing
like some Tyler Perry church come to Jesus show
at the gala,
and she had an actual scene built around BAPS.
I know.
Featuring the guy from Martin.
Yeah, so when she couldn't show up as Bap,
she ruined the community theater production
of Black Iconic Women and Families.
Was Kenya having other women dress as, like,
Halle Berry's, like, good roles,
or was she just casting people to play Halle Berry
from Bap's The Rich Man's Wife and Swordfish?
She was...
Basically gave every other woman in the party
an iconic, like, very impressive role to play.
And then she gave Portia the Halle Berry role that was the most derided and most controversial, perhaps outside of Catwoman.
Well, she could have had her play Big Mama from Big Mama's House.
So I think that maybe she was just trying to make a good musical number.
I still think that she should have made her dress as medea from tyler perry's
medea's witness protection i love that she did not i love that the editors hate her so much that
we hardly got to see her plan her big party because normally that's like a six episode arc
yeah and we also didn't get to see any of the show we just got to see like the oprah part from the color the color purple you told hoppo to beat me
and then we saw like a random dance slightly offensive dance yeah then we saw the african
dance which i'm assuming was also from the color purple when she goes to africa right
oh i haven't read that book in so long so i don't remember read the book
i never saw the movie who reads thank god sorry everyone audible.com
by the way i loved i think one of my favorite parts of the party was when candy dressed as
tina well i love first of all when candy said that she was angela bassett not tina turner from
what loves what's love got to do because that was annoying me all week. But I loved when she goes up to Peter,
and she's like, oh, are you Billy Dee Williams?
And he's like, no, I'm just dressed as Peter.
How cheap was Candy's wig?
She looked like a fraggle.
Well, I can see why.
I mean, she's probably like, look,
if I have to go to this stupid party,
I'm not putting more than $20 into this wig.
No, she is cheap.
I mean, that's why she actually owns five houses, because she is a cheap bitch.
She's like, I got a soda.
Riley.
Riley.
Riley.
Can't you get your mom a soda?
And I like that Cynthia was told to come dress like Inspector Gadget, and he wasn't even black.
It's like Kenya.
There's colorblind, and then there's stupid and peter was penny
what's the dog's name on an brain wasn't the dog's name brain brain well we sure know that
there's none of that on that show i thought it was pretty hilarious watching nini nini's um
personality recovery season where she's pretending like she's so sensible
and she just can't believe Kenya
would be kicking out Portia
from the party and who's
you need to stop acting classless
and blah blah blah and everybody bows
down to Nini now because she's been on TV
is that what I need to get some damn respect
in this world is to be on a shitty TV
show that lasts one season
because I'll think like damn it that's all we need that's why we need this to be on a shitty tv show that last one season because i'll do it damn it that's
all we need that's that's why we need this to turn into a tv show so that way people will respect us
for once yeah we could be like we were on tv you guys thank you this way we can get into like
parties and like i went to i tried to go to a mcdonald's party on thursday a part it was a
party for mcdonald's and I was turned away. No, Ben.
You know why?
It's because you had that goatee.
And you know who was there?
Brandi Glanville.
I was just going to say Brandi Glanville.
And Kyle Richards and some others.
So people, you have to start –
Wait a second.
Tell all your friends about this podcast that we will be big enough that we can go to parties with the housewives and talk about them.
be big enough that we can go to parties with the housewives and talk about them now was this a like a ronald mcdonald house like charity party or was this for the fast food place mcdonald's no this is
what it was mcdonald's is launching a new product which i won't say because they didn't let me in
so i won't publicize the product but they were launching a new thing and is it to try and attract
skinny fit people i think so although chloe kardashian was
there apparently also but they had it apparently neither skinny nor fit yeah that's why i was the
brand messaging was a little weird um but anyway they had it at paramount pictures and they had
taiga performing and it's tiga but okay is it t a Tiga. Oh, I was calling Tiger. Okay. Anyway, so it's Tiga.
Okay.
Tiga.
So I don't know.
But the point is this.
I was there with our friend Jenny.
You guys know Jenny.
And we were supposed to be on the list and we weren't.
And I wanted to be like, I am a co-host of the Watch What Crappens podcast.
But, you know, we're just not big enough yet.
So people, you have to like us.
We're big enough on Facebook, but we need bigger.
We need bigger so we can go into these stupid parties.
I actually get invited to them, but I always RSVP no.
Well, maybe you should rethink that.
If you want to go to any of them, let me know.
I want to go to the opening of Pump, Lisa Vanderpump's gay thing.
We are so going to that.
Don't worry about it.
Yeah, Matt, you got to tell us about these parties.
Whatever, Matt.
We have heard so many times that we're going to go here and go there and go here and go there.
And guess where we've gone?
Excuse me, every time I invite you guys out for drinks, Ben's always like, I'm going to New York.
Oh, please, please.
So anyway, so I don't know.
I guess what happened in Atlanta?
Mimi went off.
Okay, Kenya kicked out Portia.
Okay, a question.
Do you guys think that Portia should have gone to the party dressed as Halle Berry from BAPS
and rocked it and been the hit of the party?
Or do you think she should have gone glamorous
like she did and make Kenya look like a fool?
Go glam, make Kenya look like a fool.
She looked actually amazing as Dorothy Dandridge.
I would never in a million years show up as BAPS.
Look, BAPS is hilarious,
but Kenya was trying to do that to embarrass her.
I don't care if it was part of her production
or whatever, she was trying to embarrass
her enemy of the season.
And I am glad that Portia stepped up for herself and was like, fuck that shit.
Yeah.
And on top of that, you know that if like if Portia showed up and rocked the BAPS thing, you know that Kenya would have then taken all the credit for being like, see, I knew she would look good in it.
I knew this is this is why I wanted her to be this way.
I think that you're right that she was trying to be offensive.
But at the same time, she dressed as Foxy Brown.
It's not like she was someone that wasn't dressed all trashy.
So she was getting brushed up.
But Foxy Brown is actually iconic.
Foxy Brown is cool.
Baps is not cool.
When Baps came out, if I remember correctly, it was a big controversy.
It really offended a lot of people in the black community because it was like just offensive stereotypes.
Well, I'm not black, so I can't answer that on behalf of the blacks.
You will be calling up Mr. Ridiculous and getting his thoughts.
Let's hit a dick up against the side of our faces until we figure this one out, you guys.
Okay, I'm in.
I think that if she was going gonna come dressed as somebody else she should
have just stood up to kenny in the first place and said listen i'm not comfortable i'm not doing
that do you want me not to come to your party i don't want to fight with you about it i'm just
not doing that so who else that doesn't make for a good twist for the finale come on yeah the
producers were probably like you have to go anyway and i love how nini afterwards when nini's giving
her the talk giving uh kenya
the talk this is getting back to what you're saying before being like you can't do that we
are one we are one since when did nini care about the unity of this group since when as soon as
kim zolciak left and charay and they all know that they have to be nice to nini now because
look what happened to charay charay was nothing but entertaining until the very last second the
only reason her ass got fired is because of nini you know it was no diggity no doubt well maybe they can uh get
back together as friends just the way as nini and kim are now friends again apparently oh no chara
can never come back because she's like disgracing herself in the worst way she's going on like a
terrible reality show and like showing off her big hole in the ground house it's not ending well for poor Sharae Ray you mean
the Chateau with the ice rink Chateau
Sharae yeah that big old hole in
the ground that big old sink hole y'all
should the only thing
the only entrepreneurial
endeavor worse than Chateau Sharae
has got to be Gigi's hair extensions
or I'm sorry Gigi's extensions
I will give you that I will give you that
all right well do we have any other last thoughts on Atlanta before I'm sorry, Gigi's extensions I will give you that Alright, well
Do we have any other last thoughts on Atlanta?
Before we get into what looks to be
Yes, we have lots more to discuss
You love to just shut me up
And I am not done talking
Listen, it's not targeted at you
I wasn't saying, Matt, do you have anything to say?
Because shut up, Matt
I was just saying, do you guys have anything else?
Because we're trying to wrap it up
Yes, I do have more things to say
Please tell us matthew i
will start with porsche's husband cordell shutting down that little bitch that works for kenya that
was her like little right hand man i loved it i was like cordell you go the better the less said
the better you know they had some you know they had some serious hate sex afterwards.
Oh, no doubt.
And Cordell was probably on the bottom.
And Walter was filming it.
Yeah, Cordell.
My favorite Cordell scene was the therapy scene when he was so mad that he was getting told off by that therapist.
You could just like, God bless him.
He was turning red.
I never thought I'd see that.
But he was going to kill her.
He wanted to kill that therapist.
I want to kill the cast of L.A. Shrinks.
He was probably like, I thought you were Frenchie Davis.
I thought you'd give us a performance.
I was looking forward to this.
You're not Frenchie Davis at all.
Portia told me we was coming to rent.
But I love that her answer to their marital problems is so sensible well is porsche gonna
have a baby and then just be stuck at home and not have a career silence no so we need to get
you know we need to decide how that's gonna work and he's just like fuming because he literally
did say that she's absolutely not gonna go to work or have a career and i love that her idea
of having a career is like
throwing parties for her dad's charity.
Exactly. I was like, the joke's
on Cordell for even thinking that
she has a career. He should just be
patting her on the back and saying, okay,
okay. You're basically telling her
you just don't want her to comb her hair anymore, because that's
really the only difference.
Well, I gotta comb my hair.
Hey, my hair needs to be combed
i have a professional hair comb in my own hair
i need a nanny to take care of this baby while i comb my hair
i don't know what to do should i comb my hair or just have a baby i can't decide
some people think i have a picture-perfect life.
I wonder if she really thinks the phrase is picture-perfect.
I wonder that every time she says it.
I'm thinking of her imagining just this beautiful picture of iced tea.
A picture from TJ Maxx with the word diva written on the side.
Gretchen's like, give it to me.
Gretchen will fight her for that picture from TJ Maxx.
I'll give you three chef cookie platters for one picture.
Perfect.
That ain't equal.
I ain't stupid.
You know that Gretchen probably has like an oversized pepper mill that like maybe has some weird like like a goddess on the top.
But you twist the goddess and Pepper comes out. I don't know. When she dies, it's going to be from some mystery illness caused by spices that come in those terrible tin bottles at Ross.
She has some weird apricot strawberry jam that's been sitting on the TJ Maxx shelf.
That may be a candle or a hand lotion.
Or both.
You light the hand lotion on fire and it's tonic a few other things from atl what did you guys think of uh phaedra's catwoman outfit oh it was great eartha kitt i loved how
then they cut to nini in the confessional saying that is the best she's ever looked at i'm not
kidding she should she should wear that all the time yeah even nini had to admit that real life earth a kid in real life okay a few other things i thought it was so tacky
slash amazing that at the very end of the episode peter goes after party at bar one oh my god that
was so tacky tacky is this dude that's like equivalent of like going to any quote unquote gala and being like, hey, everyone, after party in the gravel pit behind D'Agostino's.
We going to the McDonald's party.
Let's go.
Not the one with Tiga.
The one at the actual McDonald's.
The one with Tyga.
So my favorite part of every single one of these shows it happens all the time
in the finale at the very end when they do the freeze frame and then the producers write nasty
shit on the screen the funniest that we have to go through these so porsche's was all she only got
one line it was cordell filed for divorce okay okay I'm so glad you said this because I had to buy all of these episodes off iTunes.
Yes, I paid $10 to watch my shows this week.
But I had to buy this shit, and it paused on that part to keep downloading.
And I was like, is that all?
That's all, Ronnie.
That's all.
That's hilarious.
That's all they gave her.
I thought it was an iTunes glitch.
That's all.
Wasn't that evil? Don't you guys think
it's evil producers?
No, I think because they didn't want to make like a...
I guess, yeah. There's nothing
left to say, really.
She's that simple.
What else did she do? I mean, that was her whole thing
the whole year was being married.
So I guess that's what you get.
So what were the other ones?
Nothing else fun. you get. Yeah. So what were the other ones? Nothing else fun.
Just that.
Okay.
So Kenya's still crazy.
Yeah.
Kenya turned out to be really, really crazy.
And I think she just sealed like a 10-year contract on this show.
Oh, she definitely did because the ratings are through the roof.
So Kenya, as long as they keep Kenya, I actually think that they think that they could survive without Nini now for the first time ever, which is crazy to talk about.
But that's exactly what I think they're leaning towards.
She was quoted by Beyonce, enough said.
Yeah.
And then to you guys, oh, my God.
By the way, I looked on, I don't know if I was looking at Wikipedia, but like just all the different episodes.
There are two, maybe three reunions, a lost footage. I mean, there's like five more
episodes of Atlanta. I'm just letting you know between the reunions and the lost footage and
the secret blah, blah, blah. Oh yeah. I, I, there's this reunion. I'm so massively excited
about. I cannot wait for Kim. I love that they have Kim Zolciak to come out to the reunion. I
think that's great that they're still including her.
She was there for the first third of the season.
Oh, and she's going to get dogpiled.
I love it.
Okay, so we're going to have to go because we have a time machine to jump into and record the second half of this or the first half of this show.
So if you are listening to this.
You're ruining my whole setup.
