00:02:00
Speaker 1: Is make sure the shit's on.
00:02:01
Speaker 2: Make sure the shit is recording, because if it ain't recording.
00:02:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did it once, right, twice, it's having twice. Oh and one the second time you lost your shit, I thought you were gonna have a meltdown. You snapped shit. I understand. And it happened one time when we were traveling. Member, Well that was a rough one. Try redoing a podcast with jet lag.
00:02:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, we're not gonna have that happen today, because this puppy is recording, and it's recording crystal clear. There is a lot to discuss. Of course, we have to discuss like everybody else.
00:02:37
Speaker 2: Although I'm fucking over the more, I'm done.
00:02:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too.
00:02:41
Speaker 2: With Amanda in West me too, and Siarra who cares?
00:02:44
Speaker 3: And Kyle but we have to discuss it because who cares? But we care, we do.
00:02:49
Speaker 2: But I you know, I'm sick of it.
00:02:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sick of it too, and I.
00:02:54
Speaker 2: Should we just let's start with that.
00:02:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's start with that, because Babe, I said to you the other this guy was overheard by someone saying that he is going to be okay after this scandal because Tom Sandoval got traders after time time. This guy had the nerve time.
00:03:16
Speaker 3: Out right, West Wilson, My friend, you ain't Tom Sandoval.
00:03:25
Speaker 1: You ain't no Tom Sandoval.
00:03:27
Speaker 3: Ain't no Tom Sandival. The only thing that you have in common with the great Tom Sandoval. And I feel like right now he's on the other side where we could go back to calling him great because talk about going through the fire.
00:03:41
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, fire.
00:03:43
Speaker 2: Out of all the people on Bravo, I think he went through. He walked himself through it. It's not like he.
00:03:48
Speaker 1: Did, I would say, rather ravely. He came out on the other side based on what he did.
00:03:55
Speaker 3: Icon status. Wes Wilson, excuse me, you're on your second and a half season of Summerhouse. You came into an already hit show. The house that Hannah Berner page, the Sorbo Amanda Batula, what's her name.
00:04:10
Speaker 2: Lindsay they built that house.
00:04:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, the great Tom Sandibal is a pillar of all things. Bravo, Lisa vander Pump, Stossy Schroeder, the two Tom's Jacks and Company. They built in our in our opinion, I've said this before, the greatest reality TV show ever. And Tom Sandibal was there for the entire fucking thing. And granted he fucked up. He fucked up big time. He went on Traders, he went through the fire, he went through the storm. And now when we see Tom, we're like, good to see you, Tom, good to see because despite what he did, guy gave us over a decade.
00:04:53
Speaker 2: Of fucking joy over you and I got the gun tear.
00:04:58
Speaker 3: He compares himself to the great Tom Sandoval. Yes, how dare he compares himself to him?
00:05:05
Speaker 2: You came into an old right.
00:05:06
Speaker 3: It's like it's like Kevin Durant going to the Golden State warsap for You're not Kevin durry This is already a championship squad. The summerhouse is already cooking. You ain't Thomson. You ain't walking what kind of shoes or what's a men's shoe that Tom Sanville would wear?
00:05:23
Speaker 1: They wear they they wear red bottoms, but here there's red red bottoms for men.
00:05:28
Speaker 2: Yes, of course, Manola Bonyx, Louis.
00:05:31
Speaker 1: Baton, Louis Baton, Louis Baton. I don't know lou Baton.
00:05:39
Speaker 2: I don't know where he said that or where he's thinking that or whatever.
00:05:42
Speaker 1: I mean allegedly listen, I I don't.
00:05:44
Speaker 3: It was it's summer house. We could say pretty much say whatever we want, right, I mean, if you look at the gossip and the blogs and the vlogs, people just say whatever they want.
00:05:53
Speaker 1: It shows you where his ego's at.
00:05:55
Speaker 3: He's walking around New York City going, I really fucked up because he's got to see it through the hell.
00:06:00
Speaker 1: You think so?
00:06:01
Speaker 2: Yeah?
00:06:02
Speaker 1: Do you really think so? Because they're out and about together.
00:06:05
Speaker 3: He's gonna cheat on Amanda before he breaks up with her. He's gonna cheat on Amanda, you think guarantee you if he's not already guarant fucking to.
00:06:13
Speaker 1: You, well, apparently she's He wasn't just seeing her exclusively, it's other people.
00:06:17
Speaker 3: So do you think that at this point, if they're dating, she's gonna be like, it's okay if you date other people.
00:06:24
Speaker 2: No, he's definitely out and about, definitely list.
00:06:29
Speaker 1: Get why not because he was dating other people when she stole him from Sierra.
00:06:35
Speaker 3: Like it was a photograph of them at the movies the other day in New York City. You know, they all live way downtown and not in Tribecca. They live like in the Wall Street financial That's where a lot of younger people in these financials.
00:06:46
Speaker 2: I would never want to live down there. That's like, hell yeah, it's all the way the way the fuck down. Yeah. And they were at the movie theater and he's like I.
00:06:56
Speaker 3: Get the feeling that he's like, fuck a minute, I mean, I'm play this thing out.
00:07:00
Speaker 2: Gotta play this puppy out.
00:07:02
Speaker 3: And then then after the reunion and then you'll be like it's reported or they'll put out a statement.
00:07:08
Speaker 1: Oh, if they put out a state they breaking up.

00:07:18
Speaker 1: Have they picked a date for the reunion yet.
00:07:20
Speaker 3: No, But apparently they're all showing up great and that reunion is going to be a blood bath if they know it's good for them. The one thing about the Scannabal reunion, DJ James Kennedy, La La and the rest of them, they came.
00:07:34
Speaker 1: Came with it. Yeah they ate, and I think they yeah they ate, and they're.
00:07:40
Speaker 2: Not doing the separate thing in this one because remember who was it? Sheena? She had to be separated from Raquel, Remember she was They did it.
00:07:50
Speaker 1: She Andy did an interview with Raquel.
00:07:53
Speaker 2: But Sheena had to be separated because there was a there was a restraining order because allegedly had punched her. That ain't gonna happen. There ain't no strain because.
00:08:00
Speaker 1: There's no there's no violence here. These people have to sit on the couch and face the music.
00:08:06
Speaker 2: I want to tell Ciarra something.
00:08:07
Speaker 3: Also, be very very careful what you do now, and I wish you the nothing but the best.
00:08:13
Speaker 2: Cir do you mean, be very careful who you date next?
00:08:17
Speaker 3: Well, and don't because they're like A listers, only don't do it to yourself.
00:08:21
Speaker 1: Don't Who said a listers?
00:08:22
Speaker 2: Like?
00:08:23
Speaker 1: What do you mean?
00:08:24
Speaker 2: They social media? Instagram?
00:08:26
Speaker 1: They say she should go for like the big ballers, but NBA players and the people with money and the finance and the famous people. Is that what it means.
00:08:34
Speaker 3: Don't go with famous people, don't do it, don't do it to yourself.
00:08:38
Speaker 2: If you really don't go with.
00:08:40
Speaker 1: Boys, let's start there. Let's start there.
00:08:45
Speaker 2: Don't go as fuck boys.
00:08:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, just don't.
00:08:48
Speaker 3: But I'm telling you right now, Wes is miserable because he's like, I gotta see this through. Amanda's probably a fucking wreck. She's probably completely.
00:09:00
Speaker 1: Every time you see her on the street, she's got that big grin on her face, she's smiling. You think it's fake.
00:09:04
Speaker 2: I don't think it's fake.
00:09:05
Speaker 3: I think maybe she's stabilize high and stabilizer And listen, I've said this a gazillion times. I don't want her to be fucking ridiculed.
00:09:17
Speaker 2: She's not.
00:09:17
Speaker 3: She'at on everybody on social media and all what she did. It's between them to be heckled and cat calls.
00:09:24
Speaker 2: And who to judge?
00:09:25
Speaker 1: We at one time were in our twenties and we've had multiple weird experiences and made really shitty choices. So who are we to judge?
00:09:33
Speaker 3: But I could tell you West, who's a guy? See, I could go at the guys more as you should he's fucking perusing around the movie theater. He's looking like, I can't believe I'm on a date with Amanda. I'm telling you, he's like, I like her.
00:09:49
Speaker 2: This is cool. But now that like, you know that you.
00:09:51
Speaker 1: Can like now that you you made a big scene and made a big announcement, like what did they go see?
00:09:57
Speaker 2: What's worth going to see at the movie theater?
00:09:59
Speaker 3: Now?
00:09:59
Speaker 2: Anyway, listen, here's.
00:10:00
Speaker 1: The thing for me, babe. Listen. If I was doing dirty like that, I wouldn't be trapesing up and down the West Village. I just I wouldn't like I would.
00:10:08
Speaker 2: Be go to Connecticut, go to go to Hampshire High you could.
00:10:12
Speaker 1: Go on vacation and you know, fuck it out until you're over in the relationship. But don't trapes up and down the street smiling like this is.
00:10:19
Speaker 2: They were at a bar the other night.
00:10:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I find it to be so wild.
00:10:25
Speaker 3: I but you gotta, you gotta understand one thing, because I was like, they're at a bar downtown. It look like in the Lower East Side. They're young, and also this fame thing and this sudden sort of like villain fame, you know, infamous because they're infamous in the reality show world is very sudden, and you I can say, for someone like when you're getting recognizing people know who you are, you kind of think you can control it, like I'll just go out and I'll just we'll just have.
00:10:53
Speaker 2: A good time.
00:10:54
Speaker 3: You can't control especially now with the phones and the cameras and the cameras and the cameras, and and if if they're going out amongst their fan base, there's no hiding, Amanda. You can't wrap yourself up in a turban.
00:11:05
Speaker 1: Yeah. I guess she has nothing to me at this point. What does she have to lose? What do they have to lose? But I think it's so interesting. You think that's west Angle. I just think he's fucked. He's just a hound. So he goes for whatever.
00:11:17
Speaker 3: Doesn't want to go to on a date in a movie theater? What movie are you going to see on a I mean, do you feel so.
00:11:22
Speaker 1: Stupid that you took one of your close friends wives and now you're in it and you're questioning.
00:11:28
Speaker 2: Oh, he's questioning. I'm telling you, he's questioned.
00:11:31
Speaker 1: She's a mess of a person. He must be, Huh.
00:11:43
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you this.
00:11:44
Speaker 3: And we discussed this while we were watching the most recent episode of Summerhouse, I felt like the most important thing that I don't do when I'm watching these shows.
00:11:56
Speaker 2: I felt like I was judging the shit out of all.
00:11:59
Speaker 1: I know. We were having a hard time watching it.
00:12:00
Speaker 3: Because when we watch the shows, we kind of look at them like TV show characters, and we don't judge them as people. And that's been the thing why I feel like we've been able to enjoy it the way we are able to enjoy it and not judge them because we look at a characters. It's funny because when you meet them, when I meet them in real life, and you talk to them as if.
00:12:20
Speaker 2: They're aware that they're playing a character, they're not.
00:12:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's backfire me shout out to the Great ken Jamore because I was like, ken Jamore, you're playing Kendra Kenya Kenya.
00:12:33
Speaker 2: Sorry, that'll get me more trouble.
00:12:37
Speaker 1: Keny Moore forgame is Moore, Kenya Moore?
00:12:41
Speaker 3: Hair Okay, ken You shout out to the Great Kenya Moore because I was talking to her as if she was playing a character.
00:12:47
Speaker 2: And that's when I realized, oh no, this is her.
00:12:50
Speaker 3: Life and and they're not seeing whereas I will say for myself, when I was in Traders, I was very aware of.
00:12:58
Speaker 2: How it would come off.
00:13:00
Speaker 3: But when I've spoken to these reality people, they areware how it's.
00:13:04
Speaker 1: Gonna come the beauty of it and why we watch it, right.
00:13:06
Speaker 2: I know, I know.
00:13:08
Speaker 3: But the other night watching Summerhouse, after seeing the Amanda thing and fucking Wes and Kyle and Sierra and Siara buying her family's house, and I'm like, are you buying it to sell it or you buy it like you know? And I was like, come on, all of them, kJ fucking you know, Jesse Solomon thinks he's a singing he thinks he's got a singing girls, like the fucking guys for real?
00:13:32
Speaker 1: I know, I know.
00:13:33
Speaker 2: Wait wait they are for real.
00:13:34
Speaker 1: Let me go back, because do you think that Scandival was different than scanned Amanda? What is it scanning Amanda and West? Because here's the thing. We saw it play out on television where Arianna was sitting in that scene and she was screaming on her yes right, her boyfriend, like we we were so enmeshed in the dynamics of it all. And also Rachel was younger and they weren't really that close. They kind of adopted her as a friend. This kind of thing. Now we have this show where we see Amanda and Paige and Sierra laying in the bed together. We understand the friendships. We know she's struggling with her husband. We're seeing her treat her husband terribly and but yes, very much so, we really extreme so. But we see her getting tired. If you watch from the very beginning, she's dealt with a lot, right. My point is is that, and I think he's cheated on her before we saw that, but we didn't see this really play out on the show, on the show to have a sympathy or an understanding of like.
00:14:40
Speaker 2: Some sort of closure or figured it out on our.
00:14:42
Speaker 1: Own by the fact that they that's right, they fired necessary. I feel like it was necessary for the world to heal on it. Don't you think?
00:14:52
Speaker 3: Yes and say what you want about Tom Sandville. He was our guy totally.
00:14:59
Speaker 2: He was our guy. Arianna was our girl.
00:15:02
Speaker 3: The fans girls, Roquel, you know, Crazy Kookie, Rachel, whatever the fuck you want to call it. They were our people, right, but particularly arian and Tom Sam like, those are your people. And we almost felt like as fans with Tom we have a right to be mad because not only did you fuck Arianna, you fucked us.
00:15:19
Speaker 2: West didn't fuck us.
00:15:20
Speaker 3: I mean it's a little bit similar with Sierra, but I feel like he didn't get enough good graces to.
00:15:29
Speaker 2: Get the compassion that inevitably Tom sand saw.
00:15:32
Speaker 1: Him for what he was.
00:15:35
Speaker 2: He's fucked.
00:15:36
Speaker 1: Like you know what I mean, We didn't.
00:15:37
Speaker 2: I don't.
00:15:37
Speaker 1: He can't have a Sandoval recovery. We saw Sandoval and like we actually saw him in long term relationships with.
00:15:46
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, we saw him like we wanted to be a young actor model and like we rooted for him in.
00:15:50
Speaker 1: The beginning, the whole way. This guy comes in who works at in marketing or something, a complex magazine and when he comes in how many seasons, three seasons ago, the third and like, really, dude, you.
00:16:01
Speaker 3: Gotta know another another white, cute, fucking white privilege, white privilege came in there with all this fake nice guys ship and and and the fucking guys get away, and he did.
00:16:14
Speaker 2: It to see the writing was on the wall.
00:16:17
Speaker 1: It to yourself, yes, because it was all written up and down the wall. It was in it was written in blood. If you ask me, come on, it's just crazy.
00:16:26
Speaker 3: But it's fucked me up because I never felt so judgmental reality show. I know, until I was watching that newest episode of Summerhouse.
00:16:35
Speaker 1: I could have turned it off.
00:16:36
Speaker 2: I know I felt the same people.
00:16:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, like these are lame os, so there's straight I know it's terrible.
00:16:43
Speaker 2: And we went from you have to suspend reality.
00:16:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, interesting, very interesting.
00:16:51
Speaker 2: Anyway, reality TV shows, they are fantastic.
00:16:55
Speaker 3: We watched a couple of really good documentaries, the lamar Odom doc documentary on Netflix, which is a big hit, and it really depicts and tells the story of his life, how he got there, his career, his extremely dysfunctional and sort of heartbreaking journey growing up as a kid, and he grew up in very fucked up circumstances, and then him falling in.
00:17:21
Speaker 2: Love and how they met him and Chloe. Chloe is in it. It's all never seen before interviews with her. Yep.
00:17:26
Speaker 3: I think her only rule was I'll be in it and I'll do all the interviews as long as I don't have to be in it and do the interviews.
00:17:32
Speaker 2: With him because he ain't nowhere to be seen.
00:17:35
Speaker 1: That looked very clear, But he says in it that he hadn't seen her since he made an appearance on their show.
00:17:41
Speaker 2: And he I think lamar odom a makeup.
00:17:45
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I made an appearance on their show making up and having making amends with her recently on the.
00:17:51
Speaker 2: And I think she's good now.
00:17:53
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think she was good when she gave him all the stuff back on that episode. Yes, yeah, because now that we know the inside ballgame of what she really went through, and we and we only know what she was skimming the surface, like, because some of the stuff, I was like, whoa, there's more to that story, right.
00:18:10
Speaker 3: There's more to all story, and there's more stories to the stories. There's story on she insinuated and she told roundabout things.
00:18:17
Speaker 2: She was going to crack houses at hotels.
00:18:20
Speaker 3: Man, that's not but there's other things that I mean, there's story upon story upon story, and we forget that motherfucker almost died.
00:18:28
Speaker 2: He was in there.
00:18:29
Speaker 1: He was learned to walk again and talk.
00:18:31
Speaker 3: They said, it's six strokes and heart attacks and he was taking like dick pills and cocaine and he almost killed himself. Yeah, unfortunately he didn't. But it's a miracle that he's still standing.
00:18:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're a certain kind of woman to do that, because I got to tell you, you want to go to Bunny Rants and do some cocaine and.
00:18:51
Speaker 3: The Bunny and you learn about what the Bunny ranch. There's other places to go freak off at. I mean, you could go to the Bronx and.
00:18:59
Speaker 2: To Dykeman.
00:18:59
Speaker 1: Think when you're that drugged up, I don't think you're you're caring about the thread count on the sheets.
00:19:04
Speaker 3: No, he was really on that fear of loathing in Las Vegas, like he was like, yes he was ready to It's sad, but you know, fortunately he is alive. But the last scene of the documentary and now seeing with the success of the documentary and he's promoting the documentary and I kind of get it. But I'm like, this guy is I don't feel like he totally has it all figured out. I feel bad for him. I don't think he was the sharpest knife in the drawer to begin with. And I think everything he's been through he's got like wet brain.
00:19:36
Speaker 1: I think the ego is a mother yeah, you know if you don't check it. And I think it was very telling to see that yes he met Chloe, and yes they fell in love, but also there she was on the biggest show on reality television, and that's something he wanted. He wanted that fame. Yeah, he wanted greater fame than just basketball. He wanted to transition after obsessed with faith to the second I'm looking at him and I said, oh, dear, this is not gonna be okay.
00:20:05
Speaker 2: I mean, he didn't think being a star on the Lakers was dope enough.
00:20:10
Speaker 1: No, that's crazy. It wasn't enough, right, the love of this woman wasn't enough, you know, or he couldn't really receive it. And it's telling some of the comments that he's made since in the media is really like, you know, she did save your life.
00:20:24
Speaker 3: But it's a very good documentary, surprisingly good and surprisingly candid. And it also because it was like ten, twelve, thirteen, fourteen years ago that time in life, you start to remember, like, you know, it's kind of retrospective in that way because it was like, you know, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years ago is a while ago.
00:20:45
Speaker 2: I mean, it covers his whole oh the whole.
00:20:47
Speaker 1: Thing, but it was more like twelve years ago than this happened.
00:20:51
Speaker 3: I think twelve years ago when he had the incident, but you know, it goes a little bit for anyway, it's good documentary.
00:20:56
Speaker 2: We watch another documentary.
00:20:59
Speaker 3: Just when you thought there were they would Netflix, They find them, they dig them up and they put five episodes together and you're like, what the fuck? And I don't know what is going on? No disrespect to the Mormon. Are these Mormons?
00:21:12
Speaker 1: You're having a moment?
00:21:13
Speaker 2: Trust me? It's called trust Me. Wait hold on, he.
00:21:20
Speaker 1: Told me the title a million times. I thought it was called trust Me.
00:21:23
Speaker 3: It's called trust Me. The False Prophet. It's another docuseries exploring the insane crazy polygamy.
00:21:32
Speaker 1: To watch some trigger warnings there. I don't think this documentary is for every It's it's very very, very sad and very dark.
00:21:38
Speaker 2: It's very sad. It's very dark.
00:21:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this one guy, it's so crazy how people can be so susceptible.
00:21:48
Speaker 1: Again, the ego, Like I'm telling you, it's like the meme me like, it's it's something that has to be really watched in your life if you want to live a healthy life. Like really, because this is what cult leaders believe in themselves. This guy wanted ultimate fame. And by the way, it's based on I think everybody remembers Jeff Warren. He was the leader, he was a prophet of this FDLS cult.
00:22:11
Speaker 2: And this guy was like a flunky, he was a follower of his.
00:22:14
Speaker 1: Well, he lied and said the guy died in jail because he went to jail for marrying little children.
00:22:18
Speaker 3: That's one thing they didn't cover at the end, because they didn't go when we found out that he was actually alive, the original.
00:22:25
Speaker 1: Guy that they did not cut. You're right, they did not cover that.
00:22:27
Speaker 2: But if you want another sick fuck cult Mormon.
00:22:33
Speaker 1: This was heavy.
00:22:34
Speaker 2: Man, it's heavy, and it is disturbing because he was doing terrible the sexual predatory stuff is it's hard to stomach some of it. It's so sick and discover they.
00:22:44
Speaker 1: Saw the vulnerability of people who just want to seek God and they want to be virtuous and sort of enlightened to their religion, and this person taking advantage of it is wild. And how the documentary set up is pretty genius. A woman who makes the film with her husband, she kind of goes undercover while gaining trust. It's really really layered. I recommend that if you can handle this kind of subject, we.
00:23:08
Speaker 2: Watch that ship.
00:23:09
Speaker 1: It's you never binge.
00:23:11
Speaker 2: It's four hours, right, I mean it's four episodes. We watched that, so it's two hours.
00:23:15
Speaker 3: We just yep all the way through because you're just like, I can't believe this, and you also want it to be over.
00:23:23
Speaker 1: The reason I think we finished it's so painful. We wanted to see some kind of happy ending for these people because like, it's pretty scary what that man was doing.
00:23:31
Speaker 2: It was pretty It's very disturbing.
00:23:42
Speaker 3: Another thing that I gotta say is disturbing two episodes into this season of Real Housewives of Atlanta where Keny Moore, the Great Keny Moore is not on this.
00:23:52
Speaker 1: Season, nor Candy, nor she by Chart.
00:23:56
Speaker 2: I'm concerned about Atlanta.
00:23:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. Listen Cay Michelle, the new one who was a fit. You know, I used to be a fan of hers on uh HO and hip hop, and she's coming in there looking like I thought this was a classy this is a classy reality television. She said this is a little too hood for me. At one point she stood up and walked away because I think she was like, you girls are about about it, and I'm trying to get away from that. I'm getting married to a dentist, you know about a house in the country. You're like, I'm not trying to be all up in.
00:24:25
Speaker 2: The hood with you.
00:24:26
Speaker 1: I already did that a lot, pulled wigs and flip table. And you guys are close too. You're skating too close to that, And I agree, I find it to be I'm not like, I kind of respected. I remember when she was married to that guy, the football player guy that was not very nice.
00:24:44
Speaker 2: Parnell.
00:24:44
Speaker 1: I've seen her rise, right, You've seen her go through some marrow and still Stacy rush from potect Listen. Her behavior is wild to me. Yeah, I feel like the whole cast, I'm not I'm not feeling it. We have the great Phaedra Park's coming back in and she's not getting enough time. I don't think it's not that interesting. Her son's driving now blaha blah blahda. I just I don't know. I don't know where the show is going.
00:25:14
Speaker 2: How do you feel like I feel the same way. I feel the same way. I'm feeling like, who are we watching? Why are we watching them? You know who?
00:25:22
Speaker 3: There needs to be at least somebody that the show sort of centers around. Who's the star, who's the main character.
00:25:29
Speaker 1: And it would be Porsche, but it's notice it's Shemiah really kind of like and that's a problem for Porsche. And but it's not. It's neither. It's neither one of them. Neither neither. I'm just disappointed with it, and I was longing this last episode for uh, Charret Candy.
00:25:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, I don't know.
00:25:47
Speaker 3: I mean, it's only two episodes. It could change, and it could change very quickly. But it's been a little frustrating. What's also been frustrating is Babe has been dealing with some injuries. You tweaked your knee, Babe, I.
00:25:59
Speaker 1: Tweaked my knee.
00:26:00
Speaker 2: Gosh.
00:26:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was on a roll in pilates. I think I hyper extended it.
00:26:04
Speaker 2: On the street or in the pilates in.
00:26:06
Speaker 1: Pilates, and then it was feeling a little weird and I stepped off a curb and it buckled like it went back and buckled. Went to the doctor, Uh huh, got an X ray, got some arthritis. He said something about calcium in there and maybe uh meniscus, a little meniscus tear. But you know, he wants me to do a physical therapy before he'll do an mri. I don't know why, but it hurts honis today. I went for a walk today and I was like, maybe I over did.
00:26:32
Speaker 2: How many steps did you do on your walk today? Just eight?
00:26:34
Speaker 3: Thou?
00:26:34
Speaker 2: Do you see any of the cherry blossoms did?
00:26:38
Speaker 1: They're slow growing, you know, because the rest of the park is not quite sprung yet, but it's so beautiful. They're coming out gorgeous.
00:26:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:26:44
Speaker 3: And we were complaining about the cold and then today it's not hot, but it's mildly hot, and we're like, we have.
00:26:50
Speaker 1: I got it sweat walking. I couldn't believe it. I should have brought my son hat.
00:26:55
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:26:55
Speaker 1: I'm working on my malasma and I'm like, I didn't know if I put enough sunscreen on?
00:26:59
Speaker 2: And what is malasma? Babe?
00:27:00
Speaker 1: It's like a hyper pigmentation of the skin, sometimes caused by age, maybe ethnis. No, I think everybody gets it, but it's Asian and brown people get a lot uh maybe hormones. But you know, I got these dark marks. I can't stay. I'm so self conscious of it. I'm never been like that person, you know. I don't wear makeup all the time, and I am so self conscious. So I'm doing appeal a cosmolon Peel to try to get that going away. What I don't know, it's not really working that well, let's see, it's pretty strong. I had to walk down the street with the look like peanut butter on my.
00:27:34
Speaker 3: Face right that you walked in public New York.
00:27:39
Speaker 1: Nobody even looks. No one cares. I mean I was smeared. I'm face smeared with the learn.
00:27:44
Speaker 2: Because you know, we go out, we think, oh people, nobody cares.
00:27:48
Speaker 1: I had shit smeared all over my It could have been ship. It was like it's brown, It's like all over and nobody even.
00:27:53
Speaker 3: Looks twice not an I. Oh the other thing that I need to bring up Drucidora. Oh yes, now is she on Atlanta this season?
00:28:04
Speaker 2: Yes? Where is she?
00:28:06
Speaker 1: She's been right in front of your face, I.
00:28:08
Speaker 2: Know, But like, what's happening Her.
00:28:10
Speaker 1: Husband still I believe, lives in the basement.
00:28:13
Speaker 3: Well, they are heading for a very very very very very very ugly divorced separation and.
00:28:22
Speaker 1: Not heading it's been the last season to see.
00:28:25
Speaker 2: The court documents and all that stuff.
00:28:27
Speaker 3: And the Bravo star has to pay him, she has to pay her. Somebody's losing the house, and it's this is gonna be bad. Really, this is gonna be bad.
00:28:41
Speaker 2: And what a lawyer does he have?
00:28:42
Speaker 3: I don't know, but they're a TMZ. And when you're in TMZ, you're in this one and you're in that one. And I've always liked Drew.
00:28:49
Speaker 2: I root for drive. Ralph.
00:28:52
Speaker 1: Ralph, what go on with yourself?
00:28:53
Speaker 2: Man?
00:28:54
Speaker 1: Why are you trying to take this woman's paper? That's crazy?
00:28:57
Speaker 2: What does Ralph do?
00:28:58
Speaker 1: Who knows? I don't know. All I know is he likes to take vacation. He liked to take vacations when he was married, to go to Florida for the weekend, Tampa and not tell anybody was crazy. That's crazy, man. I feel bad for her. I hope she does. I hope she can fight this and not you.
00:29:14
Speaker 2: Might lose the house and you know this is going to be bad.
00:29:20
Speaker 3: And again, you know, when we watch this happen, I don't like to see it happen on TV.
00:29:25
Speaker 2: But I'm wondering, like, I don't know, It's just I don't know.
00:29:29
Speaker 1: I always feel like, does a pre eminent divorce bring people to a reality show? Because when they see on there there it didn't seem like their shit was together. I mean they were bickering and arguing and.
00:29:41
Speaker 2: Started with the Tampa shit.
00:29:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was fun again riding on the wall. So, I don't know, we see it often, you know, we didn't talk about this really quickly, Babe, Rhode Island. At least, we're starting with some marriages that have been going on a long way. But that look crazier. The girls living in the house and the boyfriend is sight and see we don't see him.
00:30:01
Speaker 2: We don't know.
00:30:02
Speaker 1: We have to guess who he is. But she's just a side piece. He sees other women, but she doesn't. We're starting with it. There's no fake games in Rhode Island, which I like we're getting already.
00:30:12
Speaker 2: We're coming in dirty.
00:30:14
Speaker 1: Yes, and they're they're bang bang bang bangers.
00:30:17
Speaker 2: These are bangers. Yes, these are bangers, and I'm not I would definitely bet the house that there could be some physical physical violence. Yeah, support that.
00:30:28
Speaker 1: It's definitely giving a mob wives light definitely.
00:30:32
Speaker 2: Yeah. Shout out to the great Drita Divinodrida Vando. They were crazy.
00:30:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, what was her last name? Yeah, that was fun TV. I mean that was sort of like r I p big. That was sort of one of our primers for reality TV. We started with Beverly Hills, but that was one of our big ones.
00:30:55
Speaker 3: They were like, we're gonna have a fucking sit down and we're not leaving until we sought this fucking thing.
00:31:00
Speaker 2: And he's winning.
00:31:01
Speaker 3: Is amazing anyway, So the reality world is great. Kibi's knee isn't fantastic.
00:31:07
Speaker 1: And my shoulders not quite done either.
00:31:09
Speaker 2: We're we're part here.
00:31:11

00:02:00
Speaker 1: Is make sure the shit's on.
00:02:01
Speaker 2: Make sure the shit is recording, because if it ain't recording.
00:02:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did it once, right, twice, it's having twice. Oh and one the second time you lost your shit, I thought you were gonna have a meltdown. You snapped shit. I understand. And it happened one time when we were traveling. Member, Well that was a rough one. Try redoing a podcast with jet lag.
00:02:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, we're not gonna have that happen today, because this puppy is recording, and it's recording crystal clear. There is a lot to discuss. Of course, we have to discuss like everybody else.
00:02:37
Speaker 2: Although I'm fucking over the more, I'm done.
00:02:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too.
00:02:41
Speaker 2: With Amanda in West me too, and Siarra who cares?
00:02:44
Speaker 3: And Kyle but we have to discuss it because who cares? But we care, we do.
00:02:49
Speaker 2: But I you know, I'm sick of it.
00:02:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sick of it too, and I.
00:02:54
Speaker 2: Should we just let's start with that.
00:02:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's start with that, because Babe, I said to you the other this guy was overheard by someone saying that he is going to be okay after this scandal because Tom Sandoval got traders after time time. This guy had the nerve time.
00:03:16
Speaker 3: Out right, West Wilson, My friend, you ain't Tom Sandoval.
00:03:25
Speaker 1: You ain't no Tom Sandoval.
00:03:27
Speaker 3: Ain't no Tom Sandival. The only thing that you have in common with the great Tom Sandoval. And I feel like right now he's on the other side where we could go back to calling him great because talk about going through the fire.
00:03:41
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, fire.
00:03:43
Speaker 2: Out of all the people on Bravo, I think he went through. He walked himself through it. It's not like he.
00:03:48
Speaker 1: Did, I would say, rather ravely. He came out on the other side based on what he did.
00:03:55
Speaker 3: Icon status. Wes Wilson, excuse me, you're on your second and a half season of Summerhouse. You came into an already hit show. The house that Hannah Berner page, the Sorbo Amanda Batula, what's her name.
00:04:10
Speaker 2: Lindsay they built that house.
00:04:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, the great Tom Sandibal is a pillar of all things. Bravo, Lisa vander Pump, Stossy Schroeder, the two Tom's Jacks and Company. They built in our in our opinion, I've said this before, the greatest reality TV show ever. And Tom Sandibal was there for the entire fucking thing. And granted he fucked up. He fucked up big time. He went on Traders, he went through the fire, he went through the storm. And now when we see Tom, we're like, good to see you, Tom, good to see because despite what he did, guy gave us over a decade.
00:04:53
Speaker 2: Of fucking joy over you and I got the gun tear.
00:04:58
Speaker 3: He compares himself to the great Tom Sandoval. Yes, how dare he compares himself to him?
00:05:05
Speaker 2: You came into an old right.
00:05:06
Speaker 3: It's like it's like Kevin Durant going to the Golden State warsap for You're not Kevin durry This is already a championship squad. The summerhouse is already cooking. You ain't Thomson. You ain't walking what kind of shoes or what's a men's shoe that Tom Sanville would wear?
00:05:23
Speaker 1: They wear they they wear red bottoms, but here there's red red bottoms for men.
00:05:28
Speaker 2: Yes, of course, Manola Bonyx, Louis.
00:05:31
Speaker 1: Baton, Louis Baton, Louis Baton. I don't know lou Baton.
00:05:39
Speaker 2: I don't know where he said that or where he's thinking that or whatever.
00:05:42
Speaker 1: I mean allegedly listen, I I don't.
00:05:44
Speaker 3: It was it's summer house. We could say pretty much say whatever we want, right, I mean, if you look at the gossip and the blogs and the vlogs, people just say whatever they want.
00:05:53
Speaker 1: It shows you where his ego's at.
00:05:55
Speaker 3: He's walking around New York City going, I really fucked up because he's got to see it through the hell.
00:06:00
Speaker 1: You think so?
00:06:01
Speaker 2: Yeah?
00:06:02
Speaker 1: Do you really think so? Because they're out and about together.
00:06:05
Speaker 3: He's gonna cheat on Amanda before he breaks up with her. He's gonna cheat on Amanda, you think guarantee you if he's not already guarant fucking to.
00:06:13
Speaker 1: You, well, apparently she's He wasn't just seeing her exclusively, it's other people.
00:06:17
Speaker 3: So do you think that at this point, if they're dating, she's gonna be like, it's okay if you date other people.
00:06:24
Speaker 2: No, he's definitely out and about, definitely list.
00:06:29
Speaker 1: Get why not because he was dating other people when she stole him from Sierra.
00:06:35
Speaker 3: Like it was a photograph of them at the movies the other day in New York City. You know, they all live way downtown and not in Tribecca. They live like in the Wall Street financial That's where a lot of younger people in these financials.
00:06:46
Speaker 2: I would never want to live down there. That's like, hell yeah, it's all the way the way the fuck down. Yeah. And they were at the movie theater and he's like I.
00:06:56
Speaker 3: Get the feeling that he's like, fuck a minute, I mean, I'm play this thing out.
00:07:00
Speaker 2: Gotta play this puppy out.
00:07:02
Speaker 3: And then then after the reunion and then you'll be like it's reported or they'll put out a statement.
00:07:08
Speaker 1: Oh, if they put out a state they breaking up.
00:07:11
Speaker 2: They're going to bathe They're going to this is silly. If they get a fucking reunion alive.
00:07:18
Speaker 1: Have they picked a date for the reunion yet.
00:07:20
Speaker 3: No, But apparently they're all showing up great and that reunion is going to be a blood bath if they know it's good for them. The one thing about the Scannabal reunion, DJ James Kennedy, La La and the rest of them, they came.
00:07:34
Speaker 1: Came with it. Yeah they ate, and I think they yeah they ate, and they're.
00:07:40
Speaker 2: Not doing the separate thing in this one because remember who was it? Sheena? She had to be separated from Raquel, Remember she was They did it.
00:07:50
Speaker 1: She Andy did an interview with Raquel.
00:07:53
Speaker 2: But Sheena had to be separated because there was a there was a restraining order because allegedly had punched her. That ain't gonna happen. There ain't no strain because.
00:08:00
Speaker 1: There's no there's no violence here. These people have to sit on the couch and face the music.
00:08:06
Speaker 2: I want to tell Ciarra something.
00:08:07
Speaker 3: Also, be very very careful what you do now, and I wish you the nothing but the best.
00:08:13
Speaker 2: Cir do you mean, be very careful who you date next?
00:08:17
Speaker 3: Well, and don't because they're like A listers, only don't do it to yourself.
00:08:21
Speaker 1: Don't Who said a listers?
00:08:22
Speaker 2: Like?
00:08:23
Speaker 1: What do you mean?
00:08:24
Speaker 2: They social media? Instagram?
00:08:26
Speaker 1: They say she should go for like the big ballers, but NBA players and the people with money and the finance and the famous people. Is that what it means.
00:08:34
Speaker 3: Don't go with famous people, don't do it, don't do it to yourself.
00:08:38
Speaker 2: If you really don't go with.
00:08:40
Speaker 1: Boys, let's start there. Let's start there.
00:08:45
Speaker 2: Don't go as fuck boys.
00:08:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, just don't.
00:08:48
Speaker 3: But I'm telling you right now, Wes is miserable because he's like, I gotta see this through. Amanda's probably a fucking wreck. She's probably completely.
00:09:00
Speaker 1: Every time you see her on the street, she's got that big grin on her face, she's smiling. You think it's fake.
00:09:04
Speaker 2: I don't think it's fake.
00:09:05
Speaker 3: I think maybe she's stabilize high and stabilizer And listen, I've said this a gazillion times. I don't want her to be fucking ridiculed.
00:09:17
Speaker 2: She's not.
00:09:17
Speaker 3: She'at on everybody on social media and all what she did. It's between them to be heckled and cat calls.
00:09:24
Speaker 2: And who to judge?
00:09:25
Speaker 1: We at one time were in our twenties and we've had multiple weird experiences and made really shitty choices. So who are we to judge?
00:09:33
Speaker 3: But I could tell you West, who's a guy? See, I could go at the guys more as you should he's fucking perusing around the movie theater. He's looking like, I can't believe I'm on a date with Amanda. I'm telling you, he's like, I like her.
00:09:49
Speaker 2: This is cool. But now that like, you know that you.
00:09:51
Speaker 1: Can like now that you you made a big scene and made a big announcement, like what did they go see?
00:09:57
Speaker 2: What's worth going to see at the movie theater?
00:09:59
Speaker 3: Now?
00:09:59
Speaker 2: Anyway, listen, here's.
00:10:00
Speaker 1: The thing for me, babe. Listen. If I was doing dirty like that, I wouldn't be trapesing up and down the West Village. I just I wouldn't like I would.
00:10:08
Speaker 2: Be go to Connecticut, go to go to Hampshire High you could.
00:10:12
Speaker 1: Go on vacation and you know, fuck it out until you're over in the relationship. But don't trapes up and down the street smiling like this is.
00:10:19
Speaker 2: They were at a bar the other night.
00:10:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I find it to be so wild.
00:10:25
Speaker 3: I but you gotta, you gotta understand one thing, because I was like, they're at a bar downtown. It look like in the Lower East Side. They're young, and also this fame thing and this sudden sort of like villain fame, you know, infamous because they're infamous in the reality show world is very sudden, and you I can say, for someone like when you're getting recognizing people know who you are, you kind of think you can control it, like I'll just go out and I'll just we'll just have.
00:10:53
Speaker 2: A good time.
00:10:54
Speaker 3: You can't control especially now with the phones and the cameras and the cameras and the cameras, and and if if they're going out amongst their fan base, there's no hiding, Amanda. You can't wrap yourself up in a turban.
00:11:05
Speaker 1: Yeah. I guess she has nothing to me at this point. What does she have to lose? What do they have to lose? But I think it's so interesting. You think that's west Angle. I just think he's fucked. He's just a hound. So he goes for whatever.
00:11:17
Speaker 3: Doesn't want to go to on a date in a movie theater? What movie are you going to see on a I mean, do you feel so.
00:11:22
Speaker 1: Stupid that you took one of your close friends wives and now you're in it and you're questioning.
00:11:28
Speaker 2: Oh, he's questioning. I'm telling you, he's questioned.
00:11:31
Speaker 1: She's a mess of a person. He must be, Huh.
00:11:43
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you this.
00:11:44
Speaker 3: And we discussed this while we were watching the most recent episode of Summerhouse, I felt like the most important thing that I don't do when I'm watching these shows.
00:11:56
Speaker 2: I felt like I was judging the shit out of all.
00:11:59
Speaker 1: I know. We were having a hard time watching it.
00:12:00
Speaker 3: Because when we watch the shows, we kind of look at them like TV show characters, and we don't judge them as people. And that's been the thing why I feel like we've been able to enjoy it the way we are able to enjoy it and not judge them because we look at a characters. It's funny because when you meet them, when I meet them in real life, and you talk to them as if.
00:12:20
Speaker 2: They're aware that they're playing a character, they're not.
00:12:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's backfire me shout out to the Great ken Jamore because I was like, ken Jamore, you're playing Kendra Kenya Kenya.
00:12:33
Speaker 2: Sorry, that'll get me more trouble.
00:12:37
Speaker 1: Keny Moore forgame is Moore, Kenya Moore?
00:12:41
Speaker 3: Hair Okay, ken You shout out to the Great Kenya Moore because I was talking to her as if she was playing a character.
00:12:47
Speaker 2: And that's when I realized, oh no, this is her.
00:12:50
Speaker 3: Life and and they're not seeing whereas I will say for myself, when I was in Traders, I was very aware of.
00:12:58
Speaker 2: How it would come off.
00:13:00
Speaker 3: But when I've spoken to these reality people, they areware how it's.
00:13:04
Speaker 1: Gonna come the beauty of it and why we watch it, right.
00:13:06
Speaker 2: I know, I know.
00:13:08
Speaker 3: But the other night watching Summerhouse, after seeing the Amanda thing and fucking Wes and Kyle and Sierra and Siara buying her family's house, and I'm like, are you buying it to sell it or you buy it like you know? And I was like, come on, all of them, kJ fucking you know, Jesse Solomon thinks he's a singing he thinks he's got a singing girls, like the fucking guys for real?
00:13:32
Speaker 1: I know, I know.
00:13:33
Speaker 2: Wait wait they are for real.
00:13:34
Speaker 1: Let me go back, because do you think that Scandival was different than scanned Amanda? What is it scanning Amanda and West? Because here's the thing. We saw it play out on television where Arianna was sitting in that scene and she was screaming on her yes right, her boyfriend, like we we were so enmeshed in the dynamics of it all. And also Rachel was younger and they weren't really that close. They kind of adopted her as a friend. This kind of thing. Now we have this show where we see Amanda and Paige and Sierra laying in the bed together. We understand the friendships. We know she's struggling with her husband. We're seeing her treat her husband terribly and but yes, very much so, we really extreme so. But we see her getting tired. If you watch from the very beginning, she's dealt with a lot, right. My point is is that, and I think he's cheated on her before we saw that, but we didn't see this really play out on the show, on the show to have a sympathy or an understanding of like.
00:14:40
Speaker 2: Some sort of closure or figured it out on our.
00:14:42
Speaker 1: Own by the fact that they that's right, they fired necessary. I feel like it was necessary for the world to heal on it. Don't you think?
00:14:52
Speaker 3: Yes and say what you want about Tom Sandville. He was our guy totally.
00:14:59
Speaker 2: He was our guy. Arianna was our girl.
00:15:02
Speaker 3: The fans girls, Roquel, you know, Crazy Kookie, Rachel, whatever the fuck you want to call it. They were our people, right, but particularly arian and Tom Sam like, those are your people. And we almost felt like as fans with Tom we have a right to be mad because not only did you fuck Arianna, you fucked us.
00:15:19
Speaker 2: West didn't fuck us.
00:15:20
Speaker 3: I mean it's a little bit similar with Sierra, but I feel like he didn't get enough good graces to.
00:15:29
Speaker 2: Get the compassion that inevitably Tom sand saw.
00:15:32
Speaker 1: Him for what he was.
00:15:35
Speaker 2: He's fucked.
00:15:36
Speaker 1: Like you know what I mean, We didn't.
00:15:37
Speaker 2: I don't.
00:15:37
Speaker 1: He can't have a Sandoval recovery. We saw Sandoval and like we actually saw him in long term relationships with.
00:15:46
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, we saw him like we wanted to be a young actor model and like we rooted for him in.
00:15:50
Speaker 1: The beginning, the whole way. This guy comes in who works at in marketing or something, a complex magazine and when he comes in how many seasons, three seasons ago, the third and like, really, dude, you.
00:16:01
Speaker 3: Gotta know another another white, cute, fucking white privilege, white privilege came in there with all this fake nice guys ship and and and the fucking guys get away, and he did.
00:16:14
Speaker 2: It to see the writing was on the wall.
00:16:17
Speaker 1: It to yourself, yes, because it was all written up and down the wall. It was in it was written in blood. If you ask me, come on, it's just crazy.
00:16:26
Speaker 3: But it's fucked me up because I never felt so judgmental reality show. I know, until I was watching that newest episode of Summerhouse.
00:16:35
Speaker 1: I could have turned it off.
00:16:36
Speaker 2: I know I felt the same people.
00:16:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, like these are lame os, so there's straight I know it's terrible.
00:16:43
Speaker 2: And we went from you have to suspend reality.
00:16:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, interesting, very interesting.
00:16:51
Speaker 2: Anyway, reality TV shows, they are fantastic.
00:16:55
Speaker 3: We watched a couple of really good documentaries, the lamar Odom doc documentary on Netflix, which is a big hit, and it really depicts and tells the story of his life, how he got there, his career, his extremely dysfunctional and sort of heartbreaking journey growing up as a kid, and he grew up in very fucked up circumstances, and then him falling in.
00:17:21
Speaker 2: Love and how they met him and Chloe. Chloe is in it. It's all never seen before interviews with her. Yep.
00:17:26
Speaker 3: I think her only rule was I'll be in it and I'll do all the interviews as long as I don't have to be in it and do the interviews.
00:17:32
Speaker 2: With him because he ain't nowhere to be seen.
00:17:35
Speaker 1: That looked very clear, But he says in it that he hadn't seen her since he made an appearance on their show.
00:17:41
Speaker 2: And he I think lamar odom a makeup.
00:17:45
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I made an appearance on their show making up and having making amends with her recently on the.
00:17:51
Speaker 2: And I think she's good now.
00:17:53
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think she was good when she gave him all the stuff back on that episode. Yes, yeah, because now that we know the inside ballgame of what she really went through, and we and we only know what she was skimming the surface, like, because some of the stuff, I was like, whoa, there's more to that story, right.
00:18:10
Speaker 3: There's more to all story, and there's more stories to the stories. There's story on she insinuated and she told roundabout things.
00:18:17
Speaker 2: She was going to crack houses at hotels.
00:18:20
Speaker 3: Man, that's not but there's other things that I mean, there's story upon story upon story, and we forget that motherfucker almost died.
00:18:28
Speaker 2: He was in there.
00:18:29
Speaker 1: He was learned to walk again and talk.
00:18:31
Speaker 3: They said, it's six strokes and heart attacks and he was taking like dick pills and cocaine and he almost killed himself. Yeah, unfortunately he didn't. But it's a miracle that he's still standing.
00:18:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're a certain kind of woman to do that, because I got to tell you, you want to go to Bunny Rants and do some cocaine and.
00:18:51
Speaker 3: The Bunny and you learn about what the Bunny ranch. There's other places to go freak off at. I mean, you could go to the Bronx and.
00:18:59
Speaker 2: To Dykeman.
00:18:59
Speaker 1: Think when you're that drugged up, I don't think you're you're caring about the thread count on the sheets.
00:19:04
Speaker 3: No, he was really on that fear of loathing in Las Vegas, like he was like, yes he was ready to It's sad, but you know, fortunately he is alive. But the last scene of the documentary and now seeing with the success of the documentary and he's promoting the documentary and I kind of get it. But I'm like, this guy is I don't feel like he totally has it all figured out. I feel bad for him. I don't think he was the sharpest knife in the drawer to begin with. And I think everything he's been through he's got like wet brain.
00:19:36
Speaker 1: I think the ego is a mother yeah, you know if you don't check it. And I think it was very telling to see that yes he met Chloe, and yes they fell in love, but also there she was on the biggest show on reality television, and that's something he wanted. He wanted that fame. Yeah, he wanted greater fame than just basketball. He wanted to transition after obsessed with faith to the second I'm looking at him and I said, oh, dear, this is not gonna be okay.
00:20:05
Speaker 2: I mean, he didn't think being a star on the Lakers was dope enough.
00:20:10
Speaker 1: No, that's crazy. It wasn't enough, right, the love of this woman wasn't enough, you know, or he couldn't really receive it. And it's telling some of the comments that he's made since in the media is really like, you know, she did save your life.
00:20:24
Speaker 3: But it's a very good documentary, surprisingly good and surprisingly candid. And it also because it was like ten, twelve, thirteen, fourteen years ago that time in life, you start to remember, like, you know, it's kind of retrospective in that way because it was like, you know, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years ago is a while ago.
00:20:45
Speaker 2: I mean, it covers his whole oh the whole.
00:20:47
Speaker 1: Thing, but it was more like twelve years ago than this happened.
00:20:51
Speaker 3: I think twelve years ago when he had the incident, but you know, it goes a little bit for anyway, it's good documentary.
00:20:56
Speaker 2: We watch another documentary.
00:20:59
Speaker 3: Just when you thought there were they would Netflix, They find them, they dig them up and they put five episodes together and you're like, what the fuck? And I don't know what is going on? No disrespect to the Mormon. Are these Mormons?
00:21:12
Speaker 1: You're having a moment?
00:21:13
Speaker 2: Trust me? It's called trust Me. Wait hold on, he.
00:21:20
Speaker 1: Told me the title a million times. I thought it was called trust Me.
00:21:23
Speaker 3: It's called trust Me. The False Prophet. It's another docuseries exploring the insane crazy polygamy.
00:21:32
Speaker 1: To watch some trigger warnings there. I don't think this documentary is for every It's it's very very, very sad and very dark.
00:21:38
Speaker 2: It's very sad. It's very dark.
00:21:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this one guy, it's so crazy how people can be so susceptible.
00:21:48
Speaker 1: Again, the ego, Like I'm telling you, it's like the meme me like, it's it's something that has to be really watched in your life if you want to live a healthy life. Like really, because this is what cult leaders believe in themselves. This guy wanted ultimate fame. And by the way, it's based on I think everybody remembers Jeff Warren. He was the leader, he was a prophet of this FDLS cult.
00:22:11
Speaker 2: And this guy was like a flunky, he was a follower of his.
00:22:14
Speaker 1: Well, he lied and said the guy died in jail because he went to jail for marrying little children.
00:22:18
Speaker 3: That's one thing they didn't cover at the end, because they didn't go when we found out that he was actually alive, the original.
00:22:25
Speaker 1: Guy that they did not cut. You're right, they did not cover that.
00:22:27
Speaker 2: But if you want another sick fuck cult Mormon.
00:22:33
Speaker 1: This was heavy.
00:22:34
Speaker 2: Man, it's heavy, and it is disturbing because he was doing terrible the sexual predatory stuff is it's hard to stomach some of it. It's so sick and discover they.
00:22:44
Speaker 1: Saw the vulnerability of people who just want to seek God and they want to be virtuous and sort of enlightened to their religion, and this person taking advantage of it is wild. And how the documentary set up is pretty genius. A woman who makes the film with her husband, she kind of goes undercover while gaining trust. It's really really layered. I recommend that if you can handle this kind of subject, we.
00:23:08
Speaker 2: Watch that ship.
00:23:09
Speaker 1: It's you never binge.
00:23:11
Speaker 2: It's four hours, right, I mean it's four episodes. We watched that, so it's two hours.
00:23:15
Speaker 3: We just yep all the way through because you're just like, I can't believe this, and you also want it to be over.
00:23:23
Speaker 1: The reason I think we finished it's so painful. We wanted to see some kind of happy ending for these people because like, it's pretty scary what that man was doing.
00:23:31
Speaker 2: It was pretty It's very disturbing.
00:23:42
Speaker 3: Another thing that I gotta say is disturbing two episodes into this season of Real Housewives of Atlanta where Keny Moore, the Great Keny Moore is not on this.
00:23:52
Speaker 1: Season, nor Candy, nor she by Chart.
00:23:56
Speaker 2: I'm concerned about Atlanta.
00:23:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. Listen Cay Michelle, the new one who was a fit. You know, I used to be a fan of hers on uh HO and hip hop, and she's coming in there looking like I thought this was a classy this is a classy reality television. She said this is a little too hood for me. At one point she stood up and walked away because I think she was like, you girls are about about it, and I'm trying to get away from that. I'm getting married to a dentist, you know about a house in the country. You're like, I'm not trying to be all up in.
00:24:25
Speaker 2: The hood with you.
00:24:26
Speaker 1: I already did that a lot, pulled wigs and flip table. And you guys are close too. You're skating too close to that, And I agree, I find it to be I'm not like, I kind of respected. I remember when she was married to that guy, the football player guy that was not very nice.
00:24:44
Speaker 2: Parnell.
00:24:44
Speaker 1: I've seen her rise, right, You've seen her go through some marrow and still Stacy rush from potect Listen. Her behavior is wild to me. Yeah, I feel like the whole cast, I'm not I'm not feeling it. We have the great Phaedra Park's coming back in and she's not getting enough time. I don't think it's not that interesting. Her son's driving now blaha blah blahda. I just I don't know. I don't know where the show is going.
00:25:14
Speaker 2: How do you feel like I feel the same way. I feel the same way. I'm feeling like, who are we watching? Why are we watching them? You know who?
00:25:22
Speaker 3: There needs to be at least somebody that the show sort of centers around. Who's the star, who's the main character.
00:25:29
Speaker 1: And it would be Porsche, but it's notice it's Shemiah really kind of like and that's a problem for Porsche. And but it's not. It's neither. It's neither one of them. Neither neither. I'm just disappointed with it, and I was longing this last episode for uh, Charret Candy.
00:25:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, I don't know.
00:25:47
Speaker 3: I mean, it's only two episodes. It could change, and it could change very quickly. But it's been a little frustrating. What's also been frustrating is Babe has been dealing with some injuries. You tweaked your knee, Babe, I.
00:25:59
Speaker 1: Tweaked my knee.
00:26:00
Speaker 2: Gosh.
00:26:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was on a roll in pilates. I think I hyper extended it.
00:26:04
Speaker 2: On the street or in the pilates in.
00:26:06
Speaker 1: Pilates, and then it was feeling a little weird and I stepped off a curb and it buckled like it went back and buckled. Went to the doctor, Uh huh, got an X ray, got some arthritis. He said something about calcium in there and maybe uh meniscus, a little meniscus tear. But you know, he wants me to do a physical therapy before he'll do an mri. I don't know why, but it hurts honis today. I went for a walk today and I was like, maybe I over did.
00:26:32
Speaker 2: How many steps did you do on your walk today? Just eight?
00:26:34
Speaker 3: Thou?
00:26:34
Speaker 2: Do you see any of the cherry blossoms did?
00:26:38
Speaker 1: They're slow growing, you know, because the rest of the park is not quite sprung yet, but it's so beautiful. They're coming out gorgeous.
00:26:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:26:44
Speaker 3: And we were complaining about the cold and then today it's not hot, but it's mildly hot, and we're like, we have.
00:26:50
Speaker 1: I got it sweat walking. I couldn't believe it. I should have brought my son hat.
00:26:55
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:26:55
Speaker 1: I'm working on my malasma and I'm like, I didn't know if I put enough sunscreen on?
00:26:59
Speaker 2: And what is malasma? Babe?
00:27:00
Speaker 1: It's like a hyper pigmentation of the skin, sometimes caused by age, maybe ethnis. No, I think everybody gets it, but it's Asian and brown people get a lot uh maybe hormones. But you know, I got these dark marks. I can't stay. I'm so self conscious of it. I'm never been like that person, you know. I don't wear makeup all the time, and I am so self conscious. So I'm doing appeal a cosmolon Peel to try to get that going away. What I don't know, it's not really working that well, let's see, it's pretty strong. I had to walk down the street with the look like peanut butter on my.
00:27:34
Speaker 3: Face right that you walked in public New York.
00:27:39
Speaker 1: Nobody even looks. No one cares. I mean I was smeared. I'm face smeared with the learn.
00:27:44
Speaker 2: Because you know, we go out, we think, oh people, nobody cares.
00:27:48
Speaker 1: I had shit smeared all over my It could have been ship. It was like it's brown, It's like all over and nobody even.
00:27:53
Speaker 3: Looks twice not an I. Oh the other thing that I need to bring up Drucidora. Oh yes, now is she on Atlanta this season?
00:28:04
Speaker 2: Yes? Where is she?
00:28:06
Speaker 1: She's been right in front of your face, I.
00:28:08
Speaker 2: Know, But like, what's happening Her.
00:28:10
Speaker 1: Husband still I believe, lives in the basement.
00:28:13
Speaker 3: Well, they are heading for a very very very very very very ugly divorced separation and.
00:28:22
Speaker 1: Not heading it's been the last season to see.
00:28:25
Speaker 2: The court documents and all that stuff.
00:28:27
Speaker 3: And the Bravo star has to pay him, she has to pay her. Somebody's losing the house, and it's this is gonna be bad. Really, this is gonna be bad.
00:28:41
Speaker 2: And what a lawyer does he have?
00:28:42
Speaker 3: I don't know, but they're a TMZ. And when you're in TMZ, you're in this one and you're in that one. And I've always liked Drew.
00:28:49
Speaker 2: I root for drive. Ralph.
00:28:52
Speaker 1: Ralph, what go on with yourself?
00:28:53
Speaker 2: Man?
00:28:54
Speaker 1: Why are you trying to take this woman's paper? That's crazy?
00:28:57
Speaker 2: What does Ralph do?
00:28:58
Speaker 1: Who knows? I don't know. All I know is he likes to take vacation. He liked to take vacations when he was married, to go to Florida for the weekend, Tampa and not tell anybody was crazy. That's crazy, man. I feel bad for her. I hope she does. I hope she can fight this and not you.
00:29:14
Speaker 2: Might lose the house and you know this is going to be bad.
00:29:20
Speaker 3: And again, you know, when we watch this happen, I don't like to see it happen on TV.
00:29:25
Speaker 2: But I'm wondering, like, I don't know, It's just I don't know.
00:29:29
Speaker 1: I always feel like, does a pre eminent divorce bring people to a reality show? Because when they see on there there it didn't seem like their shit was together. I mean they were bickering and arguing and.
00:29:41
Speaker 2: Started with the Tampa shit.
00:29:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was fun again riding on the wall. So, I don't know, we see it often, you know, we didn't talk about this really quickly, Babe, Rhode Island. At least, we're starting with some marriages that have been going on a long way. But that look crazier. The girls living in the house and the boyfriend is sight and see we don't see him.
00:30:01
Speaker 2: We don't know.
00:30:02
Speaker 1: We have to guess who he is. But she's just a side piece. He sees other women, but she doesn't. We're starting with it. There's no fake games in Rhode Island, which I like we're getting already.
00:30:12
Speaker 2: We're coming in dirty.
00:30:14
Speaker 1: Yes, and they're they're bang bang bang bangers.
00:30:17
Speaker 2: These are bangers. Yes, these are bangers, and I'm not I would definitely bet the house that there could be some physical physical violence. Yeah, support that.
00:30:28
Speaker 1: It's definitely giving a mob wives light definitely.
00:30:32
Speaker 2: Yeah. Shout out to the great Drita Divinodrida Vando. They were crazy.
00:30:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, what was her last name? Yeah, that was fun TV. I mean that was sort of like r I p big. That was sort of one of our primers for reality TV. We started with Beverly Hills, but that was one of our big ones.
00:30:55
Speaker 3: They were like, we're gonna have a fucking sit down and we're not leaving until we sought this fucking thing.
00:31:00
Speaker 2: And he's winning.
