00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,800
Welcome to the episode of 
Husbands Watching Housewives. 

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,160
I'm Scott. 
And I'm Jeff. 

3
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,560
And we just watched a fucking 
crazy episode of The Real 

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,040
Housewives of Orange County. 
It was very confusing. 

5
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:15,160
It's very confusing. 
We're already swearing this is E

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,560
for explicit Hide your children.
That's your. 

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,720
Children. 
They should not be listening to 

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,040
this so. 
Yeah, I didn't think it was 

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,800
going to go this way. 
I'm very confused by this 

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,400
addendum. 
Yeah, you know. 

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:35,960
Like I thought I thought we were
going to have a moment of like 

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,520
well no shit. 
Gretchen's conservative and 

13
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,520
supports anti LGBTQ stuff, which
I still think is true. 

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:45,800
I'd I'm going to say like, 
let's. 

15
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:51,240
Not it's a strong possibility. 
I'm going to say like, it's, I 

16
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,800
like, again, I don't think that 
this distraction, I feel like 

17
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,920
what they're offering us is a 
distraction as if, as if we were

18
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,200
supposed to say maybe this 
wasn't true. 

19
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,080
I think the way that she 
responded in the way that she 

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,760
did not immediately defend 
herself is that she knew she was

21
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,520
caught. 
What I'm really concerned about 

22
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,920
in the very long run is why 
production through Tamra under 

23
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,800
the bus the way that they did. 
And reversed, yeah, drove back 

24
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:31,000
over like it was a they really 
were just this, this like voice.

25
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,840
I mean the disguise, his voice 
was he disguising his voiceless 

26
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,280
person who had all the receipts,
right. 

27
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:38,840
It was just so it's. 
Eddie. 

28
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,640
It's Slade with like the Scream 
voice decoder. 

29
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,240
Yeah, no, that, that's the weird
thing. 

30
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,960
Is it like, I don't think that 
any of this is far fetched. 

31
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,400
The fact that they're trying to 
make it and, and I mean, hats 

32
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,840
off to Emily. 
If if if they say that Emily is 

33
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,440
as serve as she is for her to 
like be taking the side that 

34
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,360
she's taking like hats off to 
all of them to be shocked that 

35
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,759
Gretchen would feel this way. 
The thing is, they didn't go 

36
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:13,040
deep into why this could 
possibly be true because they 

37
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,240
don't talk about politics and 
how. 

38
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,040
I mean, maybe there's more to 
that conversation. 

39
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,960
You know, they're always there 
for so much longer than than 

40
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,560
what's shown. 
But it's it's worth making the 

41
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,560
point of let's say this is all 
fake. 

42
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,080
These are doctored screenshots, 
chat, chat, PGPT, whatever AI 

43
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,800
made these like hateful posts 
that she supposedly liked. 

44
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,160
It's not far fetched based on 
the fact that we know Gretchen 

45
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,680
is very conservative and 
preaches that. 

46
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,640
And so I it's not out of the 
realm of possibility for me to 

47
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:48,560
believe like she would like 
things like that. 

48
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,960
That's why it's easy to believe,
right? 

49
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,200
It's just interesting how they 
all were like, well, wait, maybe

50
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,160
it's not like I don't know why I
I wish that someone had said 

51
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,000
like you're you're MAGA. 
Let's just say the word like, 

52
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,200
like not avoid trying to avoid. 
You know this is your. 

53
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,880
Political, I mean, I will, I 
will say in general, like I'm 

54
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,880
pretty sure MAGA means to 
different people different 

55
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,480
things that it means to us. 
So maybe we should not use that.

56
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,680
But she's conservative, and she 
believes in a traditional 

57
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,720
Christian. 
She supports a movement that is 

58
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:28,400
very likely to not support the 
LGBTQ plus community, right 

59
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,720
period. 
So if you're saying to me, 

60
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,520
Gretchen, like these, these 
posts that are anti all of this,

61
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,320
I could believe it because 
that's who she supports. 

62
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,480
You can't just say I'm voting 
fiscally. 

63
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,800
I'm voting, you know, like for 
like. 

64
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,760
I want lower egg prices. 
You know and not and not 

65
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,960
realize, but you're supporting 
people who hate other people who

66
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,240
are very hateful rhetoric. 
But also the same. 

67
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,800
I'm not saying she's supporting,
you know, very like hardcore 

68
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,960
anti, you know, like bored. 
I would say the words but. 

69
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,840
But at the same time, like in in
my head, I'm kind of like, OK, 

70
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,600
she has to like, it's not 
beyond, it's not beyond the 

71
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:22,079
realm of possibility that if 
she's trying to Curry favor with

72
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:27,040
a certain type of person that 
she would like those things. 

73
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,320
If she's trying to impress 
people who are anti LGBTQ, I can

74
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,920
see her saying and liking and 
trying to appear that way. 

75
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:41,640
The same way that now that she's
on a pretty liberal television 

76
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,000
show, one that at least tries to
remain liberal and appeal to all

77
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,560
the different, you know? 
That remains liberal. 

78
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,960
I think it rings very neutral. 
They don't talk about politics. 

79
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,200
I mean, closest thing that we 
got to that was during the 2016 

80
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,480
election on New York, when 
Carol, yeah, storyline that she 

81
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,480
was very pro Hillary. 
So I mean, so Bravo's not 

82
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,480
without its own problems, I'm 
not saying that, but. 

83
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,040
I think Bravo doesn't talk about
this. 

84
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:14,600
But Bravo, whether like it or 
not, Bravo has a very large 

85
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,840
LGBTQ. 
Yeah, but I think demographic 

86
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:21,600
and not no pun intended what 
Trump's that are the white 

87
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,160
middle-aged women right very 
well very well fall into this 

88
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:30,160
camp yeah who support OK bravo. 
So you can look at the online 

89
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,400
community, people who are making
all these Tik Toks, these very 

90
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:38,960
these podcasts, yeah, these 
funny, like, you know, very bold

91
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,600
gay men, people, you know, even 
behind the scenes as producers 

92
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,120
of podcasts or like who 
basically people who are putting

93
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,640
out content. 
What you see online doesn't 

94
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,760
necessarily reflect what you 
people who are actually watching

95
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,000
the show, just as the people who
are very hateful online and I'm 

96
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,080
talking to hateful, not like 
about, you know, LGBT whatever, 

97
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,760
basically saying like I hate 
this housewife. 

98
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,280
You know, keyboard warriors 
don't necessarily reflect what 

99
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:07,200
people think in, you know, other
parts of the country. 

100
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,480
Like yeah, no Internet. 
Right. 

101
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:10,960
Oh no, I I get what you're 
saying. 

102
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,200
So, you know, I, I don't think 
Bravo is very liberal. 

103
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,320
I think they're very. 
They're walking the line. 

104
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,520
They're walking the lines. 
They don't want to alienate 

105
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,240
people. 
Once in a while, Andy will, you 

106
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,240
know, very much of voice his 
opinions because of course he's 

107
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,520
going to. 
He's a gay man. 

108
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,000
You know he's going to say call 
out certain people. 

109
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,320
But on what happens live, but 
it's just you're not going to 

110
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,960
really see that. 
Yeah, seeing Heather support the

111
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,440
Trevor Project, of course, it's 
definitely a statement, but it's

112
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,800
a very small segment. 
It's a very short segment and. 

113
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,360
Yeah, and doesn't get as much 
airtime. 

114
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,400
Yeah, you're right. 
Absolutely. 

115
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,120
Right there was, yeah. 
Yeah, so I mean, I'm again, but 

116
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:57,600
still you'd expect like Bravo 
historically has tried to like 

117
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,920
walk both sides of the fence 
like more than Karen does. 

118
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,880
So like it just seems really 
strange that there would be this

119
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,600
element that's like you could 
easily. 

120
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:16,040
It's just so weird because like,
I don't want to, I don't want to

121
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,360
in my heart support Gretchen, 
any of this, because it does 

122
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:24,160
seem like she liked I, I do 
believe in my heart that she 

123
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:34,280
supports anti LGBTQ sentiments. 
And if she like as a human, I, I

124
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,040
can, if I were to believe 
anything that she that we were 

125
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,560
shown on this episode, like 
maybe she doesn't wholly believe

126
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,960
these things, but she supports 
those that do and she's not yet 

127
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,280
reconciled what that means. 
That's not my problem though, 

128
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,400
you know, like at this. 
Yeah, also, it's very easy for 

129
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,880
her to do this because she is a,
a white cisgender woman woman, 

130
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,760
right, in Orange County, right. 
She's not walking in the shoes 

131
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,000
of people who have to face 
hardships. 

132
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,120
And it's one thing to be like, I
had a drag bronze. 

133
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,240
She had a drag Tupperware party 
at my house and like, I went to 

134
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,720
the Abbey and I've done events, 
you know, with gays and like my 

135
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,200
hair stylist and some of my best
friends, you know, whatever, 

136
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,440
whatever. 
But it's quite another to like 

137
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:21,720
be Heather and have children, 
three children who are members 

138
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,640
of that community. 
You know, that it's more 

139
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,840
meaningful. 
Like you are walking the walk. 

140
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,360
This means something to you. 
You support your children. 

141
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,200
You support these issues. 
It's not just like, oh, my hair 

142
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,240
stylist is gay. 
Well, you know. 

143
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,280
Yeah. 
Like, to me, everything that 

144
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,320
Gretchen was saying to try to 
defend herself, which wasn't 

145
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:45,880
much initially, was very much 
like that whole idea of what is 

146
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,240
it called when you're the model 
minority that like, oh, some of 

147
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,600
my best friends are gay. 
It's like, OK, that's fine. 

148
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,600
You're OK with the people that 
don't offend you. 

149
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,600
Oh. 
You mean she's she's talking 

150
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,360
about people who are the model 
minority, right? 

151
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,040
Like the harmless drag queen, 
right? 

152
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,320
Gay hairstylist, right? 
But the activist who's acting 

153
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,880
like Dylan Mulvaney, right? 
Asking for, you know. 

154
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,280
Actual equality like. 
In my rights and like Knox be 

155
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,560
harmed because of being a trans 
person, that's where you 

156
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:17,120
supporting that person. 
Right. 

157
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,880
I think that's where she's 
saying, no, I don't support that

158
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,280
thing. 
So it's like when they're just 

159
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,520
like they're not bothering my 
lifestyle, they're fine. 

160
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:29,840
Like they aren't in cringing on 
impinging on me being, you know,

161
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,520
a white woman, you know? 
Whatever. 

162
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,200
I can use the words today. 
I can use pronouns too, yeah. 

163
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,000
Exactly. 
I'm a girly girl, yeah. 

164
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:42,800
I can I can see that where I 
where I'm really, I don't know 

165
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:48,480
where I'm really starting to. 
I don't like I I the way they 

166
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,160
edited this whole thing. 
It just feels really dirty. 

167
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:57,560
Like I don't it's also I don't, 
I don't believe Tamara would be 

168
00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:02,680
this calculating, but at the 
same time I don't feel like they

169
00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:05,040
could pull it out of thin 
fucking air. 

170
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:11,480
Yeah, there's got to be. 
And I really hope that Tamra 

171
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,000
didn't do anything to like make 
this worse. 

172
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,600
So the whole idea like should. 
We start from the beginning. 

173
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:20,600
We we we're no hope for doing 
that I'd. 

174
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,880
Like to go through. 
Let's get there in a moment 

175
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,800
before I forget where I'm going.
I feel like the whole idea that 

176
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:32,520
they said that Tamra may have 
created accounts that made this 

177
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,400
happen, like that's kind of what
I got out of it. 

178
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,280
They were saying like Tamara was
behind some of these accounts 

179
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,560
that made a little Gretchen was 
saying this would suggest that 

180
00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:48,560
Tamara was like creating fake 
Gretchen accounts to have this 

181
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,520
year a year before like anti 
LGBT. 

182
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,120
It just seems so over the top 
weird. 

183
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,760
It's a lot of work too. 
Which I don't think that Tamara 

184
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,680
1 is that Hardy with her. 
Work she didn't even know. 

185
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,480
Gretchen was coming back. 
To the show, it didn't. 

186
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,560
That's the thing. 
Like Tamara doesn't think about 

187
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:12,800
Gretchen like this. 
I hope she doesn't. 

188
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,960
Gretchen thinks about Tamara 
like this. 

189
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,560
So there again, I wouldn't last 
week, I would not have thought 

190
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:24,360
this, but the fact that like 
Bravo's putting this forward, 

191
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,680
like there's a lot on their part
that's like Tamara is a 

192
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:29,760
commodity of theirs to an 
extent. 

193
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:31,960
Yes. 
And so the fact that they're 

194
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,240
like putting it out there that 
Tamara would like go to the 

195
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,240
lengths to create fake accounts 
to make it look like Gretchen 

196
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:40,560
was. 
It wasn't even. 

197
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:42,240
I mean, that's part of it. 
That's when they get it in their

198
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,200
reunion clip. 
The main thing at the end. 

199
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,840
Well, let's yeah, we'll go end 
then we'll back to the head be 

200
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,280
full circle. 
The main thing from that little 

201
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,400
add on scene, which I don't like
doing that. 

202
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,200
I don't. 
It was, you know, last year when

203
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,880
they did that, it was, you know,
more innocuous. 

204
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,920
They're like we're sisters were 
thinking whatever it was to drop

205
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,360
some like bomb at the end about.
Yeah. 

206
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,480
But it's weak, I think, in 
storytelling turn. 

207
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:12,080
Yeah, that you have to like 
it's, it's obviously produced. 

208
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,960
It's just like, let's get these 
three together. 

209
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:19,040
And someone reached out to Gina 
and said Tamara's leaking stuff,

210
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,520
I can prove it. 
They call the person and they go

211
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,880
give me some examples. 
And he goes boom, boom, boom. 

212
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,640
Like 6 examples of stuff that 
wouldn't have been known because

213
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,600
it hadn't aired yet. 
So this is more so about like 

214
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,800
they're saying Tamara's leaking 
information to bloggers, to fan 

215
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,040
pages, whatever. 
I don't recall these things 

216
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,600
coming out. 
I'd also not looking for them 

217
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,120
deeply. 
Like I'm not looking for 

218
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:51,320
spoilers right about Housewives,
but it feels like this would be 

219
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:54,080
more all over the place. 
Yeah, yeah. 

220
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,200
It's just so that whole thing 
seemed and they are just so 

221
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,720
quick to be like, of course. 
And then especially when he 

222
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:06,240
said, you know, that Tamara was 
hatching a plan with Gina. 

223
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,840
Gina's like, oh, no, not me. 
Like don't bring me into this. 

224
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,760
And I don't know, it was just so
weird to have all this evidence 

225
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:19,040
against Tamara from this mystery
voice who could be anybody. 

226
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,120
He could be on Gretchen's 
payroll. 

227
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,320
He could be a part of, I don't 
know, like, why are we giving 

228
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,360
this air time of hearing 
somebody saying things? 

229
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,640
I guess because it proves that 
they know things that only 

230
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,400
production and people involved. 
Would know and the timing of it 

231
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,440
all like that's I think that was
my one take away from that whole

232
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:46,920
like epilogue was that before 
anything aired there were 

233
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,600
stories out there that were like
detailing things that had 

234
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,440
happened before anyone should 
have known about them. 

235
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:58,520
So the idea of Gretchen coming 
after her, where she walks off 

236
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,400
and Eddie gives the finger, you 
know, that whole thing, like 

237
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,800
that whole moment was he would. 
That's what that was suggesting 

238
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,080
is that before anyone knew that 
happened, that was already being

239
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,880
put out there into the universe 
in a time where like it would be

240
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,240
irrelevant. 
But I don't know really what 

241
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,880
that. 
There was there like were there 

242
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,040
posts about all this? 
That's what I want to see. 

243
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,320
You can say like what was this 
information? 

244
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,720
This person was saying this 
information that they knew. 

245
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:32,400
This person, Kiki Monique. 
Will be her Bravo con with 

246
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:37,000
Tamara on it. 
This person knows all this 

247
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,040
information but what were they 
doing with it aside from proving

248
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,600
that they knew all the 
information? 

249
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,920
And why was production again 
giving air time to this person? 

250
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,400
Unless it basically it's just to
try to prove a point that Tamra 

251
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,160
was leaking this information 
because then you had all three 

252
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,960
women, Jen, Gina and and Shanna 
and basically saying like, well,

253
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:02,400
how could she do this? 
This is our show and. 

254
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,120
And that's where I just don't 
understand, like, what that 

255
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,840
behooves production to do. 
True. 

256
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,000
Yeah. 
Like, unless they're just 

257
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,760
really, unless they have 
something really amazing planned

258
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,800
for Season 20, which probably 
they do, but like, I don't. 

259
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,400
It's just it's really confusing 
overall. 

260
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,480
I'm very confused about what's 
the point of it and you're the 

261
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,280
timing of it. 
Like the fact that this thing 

262
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,680
was done to Gretchen and then 
all of a sudden this person is 

263
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:36,600
like, I know all these things. 
I mean, if someone I don't know 

264
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,000
if you can have, you can have 
like so many conspiracy theories

265
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,120
and go down a rabbit hole, but 
who knew what and who told who 

266
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,440
when and how is Gretchen 
involved and how is Tamara 

267
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,600
involved? 
But I think the overall point is

268
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,280
it's so messed up and confusing 
and it's bringing things off 

269
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,520
camera on camera, and that's 
what it is. 

270
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,640
When you bring things that 
happen off camera on camera, it 

271
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:02,960
doesn't translate and it gets 
very confusing for the audience 

272
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,120
and I it's not, it's not good 
TV. 

273
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,960
And you're right, I think on top
of that, like what does the show

274
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,920
gain from this? 
They get at most a week's worth 

275
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,960
of us and people like us and 
controversies. 

276
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,040
We're. 
Talking about and at the end of 

277
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,360
the day, it's not going to go 
anywhere. 

278
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,000
We're going to get next week's 
reunion. 

279
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,640
They probably won't talk about 
that. 

280
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,680
Then they'll probably save that 
for the third episode. 

281
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:33,720
So they probably get 4 weeks of.
Like in the trailer, it was 

282
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,640
brought up, you know, like I 
think it gets a brought up 

283
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:42,120
pretty soon because we see OK 
them watching the scene of, you 

284
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,160
know, the three talking to this.
I don't know. 

285
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,800
We, we could be, we could be 
getting fed aligned. 

286
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,680
That could be the third week of 
the reunion. 

287
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:49,840
That's true. 
We'll never know. 

288
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,680
We hear like Gretchen saying 
like it's so fucked up for you 

289
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,280
to do this, Tamrod. 
I don't know. 

290
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,640
And it's just it's a BLOB. 
And it makes me when people say 

291
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,920
this isn't a good season. 
I think it was a good season 

292
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,839
that this was not a good finale 
for me because it's just such a 

293
00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:09,160
mess. 
And it doesn't it's not just 

294
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,480
because, you know, there's the 
person I like the most is being 

295
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:18,440
thrown on the bus. 
I, it's, it's because I, it 

296
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,880
makes my brain hurt trying to 
figure out what's going on. 

297
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,280
You've lost me as a viewer 
because you brought in all this,

298
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,400
all this outside stuff. 
It's become too much about 

299
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,400
what's happening off the show 
than what's happening on the 

300
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,000
show, which, which means there's
not enough happening on the show

301
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,160
That's interesting to make a 
show. 

302
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,320
So you need to go to bloggers 
and mystery people to try to 

303
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,400
make something happen. 
And that is when you have fucked

304
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,520
yourself. 
I I didn't. 

305
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,280
Yeah, no. 
Need to like, like, and what's 

306
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,640
happening is that this is this 
is happening because you have 

307
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:58,160
two people who are trying to 
destroy one another and it's 

308
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,560
hurting the show. 
And I think you just can't go on

309
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,440
that way. 
So I mean, I, you're, I agree 

310
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:11,360
with you 100% where I'm 
confused, and I'm not trying to 

311
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:18,440
be devil's advocate here. 
Like Gretchen has historically 

312
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,240
displayed very conservative 
values. 

313
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:26,320
So unless they're all just lying
out their asses, the fact that 

314
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,400
Heather herself was like this 
doesn't sound like Gretchen. 

315
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:35,800
Like there's an element to me 
that's like, OK, maybe she's not

316
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,760
like that, but is the really is 
the real truth that she just 

317
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,240
doesn't express herself to 
Heather like that? 

318
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,520
Exactly. 
And so I'd be more interested in

319
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:49,160
hearing about that and like, 
really like that's what I'm more

320
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,080
interested in to the bottom of 
not because I want to label 

321
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,920
someone or, or feel better 
putting someone in a box saying 

322
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,800
that, you know, Gretchen is this
or is not this. 

323
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:06,240
But like, to me, if that's what 
we're we've watched the last 16 

324
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:11,240
or 15 weeks for however many to 
like not even that to come up 

325
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,400
with is like, what are we 
supposed to feel about this 

326
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,440
relationship that has been 
forged, you know? 

327
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,120
I don't understand that 
relationship, but I also think 

328
00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:22,680
it's a classic case of, well, 
she's not like that with me. 

329
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,200
Yeah. 
But you don't know then all 

330
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:31,280
parts of her and all facets of 
her personality or what she does

331
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,400
when she's not with you saying I
love you, you're my friend, I 

332
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,600
support your family, you know, 
etcetera, etcetera. 

333
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,200
Right. 
Have you stopped her and said, 

334
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,880
but do you support my family 
when and if this happened and 

335
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,040
find out like well, no because 
you know the Bible says. 

336
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,280
Was she at? 
Was Gretchen at that Trevor 

337
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,760
Project function? 
She wasn't. 

338
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:55,600
I don't doesn't mean anything, 
but I don't know. 

339
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,000
Yeah, I. 
I think now we start from the 

340
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,400
beginning because now we're like
we're beating. 

341
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,000
Well, where the hell was the 
beginning? 

342
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,320
You tell me. 
The beginning was the day after 

343
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,640
with Gretchen talking to Slade 
and, you know, saying like one 

344
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,160
thing, I should get over it and 
hard because I'm traumatized 

345
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,520
and, you know, because we were 
saying like, what? 

346
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:16,880
What happens? 
It's like they do they go 

347
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,960
swinging. 
We'll never do. 

348
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,160
I would do that. 
That'd be fine. 

349
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:22,320
I think I've. 
Actually, I would die. 

350
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,640
I think I was, and tell you I 
was actually, I think I was 

351
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,640
there before that attraction 
opened. 

352
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,280
Esther and Ben and I went. 
It was good. 

353
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,920
I would the only time I felt for
Gretchen, I was like, I would be

354
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,480
shaking as well. 
It would give me a physical 

355
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,120
reaction to be I know I'm a 
harder stand. 

356
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:44,560
I know it's, it's safe, but no. 
So after that, Tamara gives her 

357
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,600
an apology. 
You know, about the whole, the 

358
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,120
cancer stuff and, and whatnot. 
And I'm sorry they did that. 

359
00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:53,320
And, you know, it was an actual,
it seemed very real. 

360
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,600
And they had a moment and like, 
we're going to be OK. 

361
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,760
But you're like womp womp. 
Just wait. 

362
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,360
Yeah. 
And then meanwhile, they're in 

363
00:21:04,360 --> 00:21:06,160
the maze. 
Are you picking up Gabs? 

364
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,040
Yeah, I'm talking about trauma. 
But she was bumping, she was 

365
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,640
head butting me. 
See, she's such a pretty Kitty, 

366
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,000
meow. 
No, like I'm not. 

367
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,800
Going to meow when you tell me 
the meow. 

368
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,360
But I'm going to hold her. 
You keep talking. 

369
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:24,040
What keeps that? 
No, she's fine. 

370
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,440
She's like enjoying the lights. 
She's like, look at me, I'm a 

371
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,520
star. 
I'm a big, bright shining star. 

372
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,280
Oh my goodness. 
What's that? 

373
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,160
Anyway, this is a dead air. 
Cut it out. 

374
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,560
I lost track of what then. 
Sorry, I didn't realize a cat 

375
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,600
could do that to you. 
Well, it's. 

376
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,520
She needed me. 
She was headbutting me real 

377
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,480
good. 
She needed some snuggles, 

378
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,720
clearly. 
OK, I'll put her down. 

379
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,320
Yes, you can start talking about
housewives. 

380
00:21:57,360 --> 00:21:59,600
OK, I didn't. 
Realize that Gabs was your Kip 

381
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,440
tonight. 
No, it's just like it threw me 

382
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,120
off and then, yeah, we'll cut 
this out. 

383
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,800
Sure, we will. 
OK, Yeah, we will. 

384
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:13,160
We'll totally cut this out. 
So. 

385
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,320
Gretchen. 
Yes. 

386
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,680
We will cut this out. 
I'm sorry, I didn't realize this

387
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,440
was going to throw you. 
Some yeah, yeah, yeah. 

388
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:26,280
Crap. 
I don't know. 

389
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,560
They had the one on the swings. 
Oh, they're doing the maze thing

390
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,640
with Shannon. 
Oh, that was funny. 

391
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,040
Shrooms. 
That was funny, like again, the 

392
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,240
fact that Shannon did shrooms, 
that was amazing a lot. 

393
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,400
Of people we should not do 
shrooms. 

394
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,640
Maybe. 
Yeah, she feels like she's on 

395
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,840
shrooms. 
But that whole experience in the

396
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,200
maze had to have been freaking 
weird. 

397
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,960
The fact that they they used 
your own image and like, if 

398
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,640
you're already well, maybe they 
weren't expecting people to be 

399
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,120
on shrooms, but. 
I'm sure they expect people to 

400
00:22:58,120 --> 00:23:00,880
be on drugs because that's what 
her daughter said. 

401
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,160
You should, you know, mushrooms 
and then go through it. 

402
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,480
Then it's the same thing with 
the tulips. 

403
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,920
Right, extra surreal and extra 
weird. 

404
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,960
All the elements, Yeah, yeah, 
see, yeah. 

405
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,320
There was like, they were like 
little moments of levity them on

406
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,040
the bikes and whatever. 
And then like having actual 

407
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,120
conversations, you know, when 
they had the picnic and, you 

408
00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:24,080
know, talking about Jen and, you
know, you should be more 

409
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,320
financially secure. 
So you have to depend on Ryan. 

410
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,680
And I did, I did enjoy that. 
Like they got to express things 

411
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,480
that in other episodes, like, 
oh, you know, like there's this 

412
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,000
whole thing about your 
Instagram, blah, blah, blah. 

413
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Like they got to express that 
like you, that should be more 

414
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,560
about you. 
Like when I open that, when I 

415
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,360
open it, I feel it's about Ryan.
It should be more about you. 

416
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,120
Right. 
Like, OK, that makes sense. 

417
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:47,560
Which I think then other 
episodes they could misconstrue 

418
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,840
like, well, yeah. 
It's not disparaging Ryan, 

419
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,840
basically just saying like you 
should have your own identity. 

420
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,280
And also if you can monetize 
that, that'd be great as well. 

421
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,760
Yeah, you know, because you're 
doing these workouts anyways. 

422
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,800
Why not be like, I used these 
dumbbells from so and so and, 

423
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,400
you know, whatever. 
So no, those are good 

424
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,800
conversations. 
They're like, you know, when 

425
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,080
they Shannon was like I hurt 
you, hurt my feelings when 

426
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,760
Gretchen tried to make something
happen and failed about, you 

427
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,280
know, them making fun of her 
that. 

428
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,200
Oh, it was banks and everything.
The fact that she said like, 

429
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,840
could it be the thing we're fat 
shaming you? 

430
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,040
Like if you have to, why would 
you say that? 

431
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,400
If you have to say the phrase, 
could it be that they were 

432
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,880
trying to fetch like? 
Then that's you putting it out 

433
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,880
there. 
Let me lead you to this water, 

434
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:30,680
right? 
Right. 

435
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,040
If it's not obvious already, 
then yeah, that's yeah, yeah. 

436
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,240
Yes, so I'm glad that like you 
know, Emily quickly was like, 

437
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,280
I'm sorry, shut up, Gretchen, 
but and also I'm sorry if I hurt

438
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,120
your feelings. 
Yeah, but I mean they were 

439
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:44,280
making. 
Fashion they were told you're 

440
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,000
making whatever, but I I but not
in the like a like you're you 

441
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,560
know you're a horrible fat 
person, right? 

442
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:56,120
I, I really feel it was more 
about her like reliance upon the

443
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:59,160
Spanx, right? 
Like, like Shannon's just like a

444
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:03,160
like held together by all that 
stuff when it's like, why does 

445
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,880
she need to be like, why does 
she feel that way? 

446
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,240
Like that's what I was getting 
out of. 

447
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,600
Also, it's a part of her shtick 
that like I'm hoisting myself up

448
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,920
in these Spanx almost like, you 
know, like a Victorian lady 

449
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,520
putting herself in a girdle, 
right? 

450
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,360
You know so. 
Yeah, I, I, I get it that they 

451
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,640
like it. 
They were definitely poking fun 

452
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,640
at her, but in a way that I feel
like she's poking fun at 

453
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,920
herself. 
Right. 

454
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,400
But I think that she'd been 
there. 

455
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,720
It'd be a different story. 
Absolutely. 

456
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,360
Laugh along and be like, oh, 
biscuits and then you know. 

457
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:35,040
Yeah, but the Gretchen was 
definitely trying to make drama.

458
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,560
Where? 
As soon as she walked away with 

459
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,200
her, I was like, where is she 
doing? 

460
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,280
Why is she like, I need a moment
alone for you, Shannon. 

461
00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:43,200
Yeah, yeah. 
And then the whole Heather. 

462
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,520
Much better than Sutton with 
MERS and the purse. 

463
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,080
So much better. 
Like just having that moment, 

464
00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:54,320
like just going and seeing the 
the old house they used to live 

465
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,920
in. 
And bringing just Emily, which 

466
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,600
is a choice, I would say, like I
wouldn't I never would have 

467
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,360
thought a million years. 
Like let's bring Emily. 

468
00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:06,760
Like I figured she'd bring 
Shannon or maybe Tamara, right. 

469
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,680
But and you know, good, good. 
For, you know, going through 

470
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,320
kind of as, as she was saying 
similar thing and whatnot. 

471
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,640
But yeah, I think having just 
the coincidence of that man 

472
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,840
walking out and saying come into
the house and beautiful house, 

473
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:25,760
being able to have those 
memories, talk about her father 

474
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,720
and then have an actual real 
moment when she spread his ashes

475
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:34,440
not into the wind was really 
nice too. 

476
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,200
So that was I think before the 
storm to have like these little 

477
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,400
bits of moment. 
Moments were great. 

478
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,360
Yeah. 
Was like the other moments 

479
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,560
before we got to the the dinner 
I. 

480
00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:51,880
Don't think so. 
I mean, Gina looking fantastic 

481
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,520
this whole episode, but I think 
that's only I'm only bringing 

482
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,800
that up because of what the 
reunion dresses look like. 

483
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,200
Which do we talk about that next
year through next year, next 

484
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,360
year? 
We will, but no, like still 

485
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:07,440
like, I think, I don't know, 
like Emily or Gina's looking 

486
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,400
really good and like in a way 
that I was not expecting. 

487
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,400
Her outfits are really great, 
like when she was wearing the 

488
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,360
when they're riding the bikes 
and she's a little schoolgirl 

489
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:19,720
outfit and you know. 
Oh, that green jacket she was 

490
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:20,640
wearing. 
Like, I want to. 

491
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,480
I want something like that for 
myself. 

492
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,200
Like, I want to dress like a 
college professor, right? 

493
00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:30,000
With the elbow pads. 
Yeah, elbow pads, not knee pads.

494
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:35,600
Definitely elbow pads, so. 
But yeah, so, and we got to see 

495
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:40,360
Amsterdam and not in a hot tub 
time machine rolling down the 

496
00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:42,880
canal. 
So that was good, yeah. 

497
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,680
So then yes. 
You were really trying to make 

498
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,360
sense of this episode like you 
are you trying to bring it back 

499
00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:51,560
to an actual like show before? 
Well, I don't want to like, just

500
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,520
talk about like the ending and 
there's other things we need to 

501
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:54,200
cover. 
Yeah. 

502
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,400
Not that we're, you know, again,
we're not a recap show, but we 

503
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,400
need to talk about they were 
nice moments before the shit hit

504
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,360
the fan. 
And so I think like talking 

505
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:04,720
about that is, is good because 
we can't, you know, we want to 

506
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,720
focus on everything that 
happened in the episode. 

507
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,040
So they tried to make it a 
well-rounded finale before they 

508
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,120
got into a really dark rabbit 
hole. 

509
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:20,480
Yeah. 
So, So yeah, the dinner didn't 

510
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,720
go. 
I like what Tamara said. 

511
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,080
Let's wait till the last dinner 
because then we cop on a plane 

512
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,160
and, you know, we're done. 
So the things get exposed and 

513
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,920
everyone is just so quick to 
say, oh, well, that's bad, you 

514
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,960
know, and I do go back to her 
saying before it was weird how 

515
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,360
calm Gretchen was about it. 
Of what do you mean? 

516
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,080
I don't know. 
I don't, I don't think I'd like 

517
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,880
that, you know? 
That when's the last time like 

518
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,520
if I were to be like, Hey, I saw
you liked this thing on you 

519
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,840
would know what you liked and 
then like, or you'd at least be 

520
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,120
like that sounds like something 
I'd like. 

521
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,160
Well you can also say was it 
Slade who runs her account when 

522
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,760
she's not if she's an influencer
needing to be running her 

523
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,120
account 24/7 because she's 
working true show. 

524
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:17,280
So if someone just scrolling 
through and finding anti trans 

525
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,800
anti whatever posts and like. 
Them right? 

526
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,440
I don't. 
Again, I don't understand. 

527
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,880
Again, if it comes. 
That's the question I hope it 

528
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,040
gets asked to the reunion. 
Who has access to your to your 

529
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,400
Instagram? 
Is it just you or could somebody

530
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:32,880
else possibly like these things 
right? 

531
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,400
It comes down to it, though, 
that like, if you were to say to

532
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,920
me, oh, you liked this thing, 
I'm like, I would not know. 

533
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,800
Like she was very much like, 
well, that doesn't sound like 

534
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:44,440
something. 
It's like. 

535
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,760
I don't know. 
Show me the things. 

536
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,880
Yeah, very, very eerily calm 
about it. 

537
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:55,040
Because she again like I. 
And then calling the Slade as 

538
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,480
if. 
What was that going to do? 

539
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:57,760
Call them after you're finished 
the. 

540
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:04,320
I don't know how you come back 
on housewives having liked 

541
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:10,160
things like that without being 
ready to address them. 

542
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,280
And so I feel like the way she 
was calm about it was like, I've

543
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:19,400
been expecting this. 
Like, of course this would 

544
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,960
happen. 
And I I don't know if she 

545
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,680
thought that maybe she would 
have when the moment happened, 

546
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,880
like the most perfect thing to 
say and she didn't. 

547
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:36,640
But like, it seems to me that 
that's you either when you do 

548
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:41,520
something that's against your 
character, you speak up very 

549
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,480
loud and very quickly, very 
adamantly about it. 

550
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,640
And you're just like, that is 
not true. 

551
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:51,480
And you can do it wholeheartedly
without hesitation. 

552
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,240
And the fact that she's like, 
well, what are you talking 

553
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,240
about? 
I just like. 

554
00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:00,240
I mean, maybe it's weird for me 
to try to, again, I'm not 

555
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,240
playing playing devil's advocate
either. 

556
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,720
But as Heather said, she could 
have been in shock. 

557
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,360
She could have been thinking, 
what do I say? 

558
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,720
What do I say that's going to 
make this better? 

559
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,120
So you're rolling around in your
mind thinking, how do I correct 

560
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:14,880
this? 
And you have. 

561
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:22,280
But it is odd that Heather has 
such this big reaction and a lot

562
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,680
of energy coming at her and 
Gretchen isn't matching that. 

563
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,000
Instead she is very calm and she
walked up to her afterwards. 

564
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,560
You know, I don't, I wouldn't 
say that I love your family. 

565
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,800
It was just too calm. 
I don't need her to be 

566
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,600
hysterical because she got a 
little bit when she was outside 

567
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,160
of the car, right? 
But, well, that's because that's

568
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:43,800
the way the women were treating 
her. 

569
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,280
It was like. 
Oh, they were shutting her down.

570
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,760
You're you're, you are 
ostracizing me over my beliefs 

571
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,680
now. 
Like, oh, this is becoming real.

572
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,600
Well, no, it was more so aside 
from Tamra who had to be held 

573
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,320
back, everyone was very quiet. 
Right? 

574
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,800
That made her reaction be big, 
whereas if the table everyone 

575
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,160
had a big reaction. 
Well, mainly Tamra and Heather 

576
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,040
and she was very calm. 
So it's weird that she was 

577
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,640
flipping the energy. 
Yeah, she was receiving. 

578
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,520
Yeah. 
You know, I don't know. 

579
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,680
I don't know what makes her 
tick. 

580
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,520
I don't I don't understand. 
I think she's a calculating 

581
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,600
person. 
I think she shared that with the

582
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:24,640
the Shannon incident, but I 
don't I don't know what to 

583
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,040
believe. 
I don't know if this now it 

584
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,280
makes me question if it if she 
again, I don't question the fact

585
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,720
that she could like these things
or could have these beliefs, but

586
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,120
I wonder about the validity of 
these screenshots. 

587
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,560
Oh, really? 
Well when you say the next when 

588
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:46,480
the next day Gina says I can't 
find these. 

589
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,240
Aside from the screenshots, I 
can't find her liking these 

590
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,000
actual posts. 
Right. 

591
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,720
Unless Slade cleaned them up 
right away. 

592
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,320
Right. 
Or wipe the Internet. 

593
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,840
I don't know if he has the 
ability to do that. 

594
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:03,680
How did that happen, you know? 
Yeah, I mean. 

595
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,320
That's why none of this makes 
sense. 

596
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:12,480
Yeah, I just, it's too 
convenient in so many ways. 

597
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:19,040
I don't know. 
If you were to turn, if I were 

598
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:23,360
to turn to you and say like you 
liked this thing that you had 

599
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,920
never seen in your life, you 
wouldn't be like, what are you 

600
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,960
talking about? 
You'd be like, no, like you 

601
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,160
would be more instantly, more 
adamantly like, no, I don't feel

602
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:34,640
that way. 
I never have felt that way. 

603
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,800
Like the fact of the matter is, 
is that it comes down to that 

604
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:46,760
Gretchen has a belief near to 
those things and she's trying to

605
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:51,480
mitigate the damage. 
Like I don't, I, I don't, I feel

606
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,320
like a fucking idiot for not 
just like someone who believes 

607
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,200
those things or like could, 
could believe those things. 

608
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,880
I don't want to have much 
sympathy for. 

609
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:06,600
I don't want to like persecute 
someone wrongly but at the same 

610
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,000
time like. 
I don't persecute them wrongly 

611
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,040
in this one instance. 
Right, I'm just saying like she 

612
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,960
doesn't deserve a lot of my 
sympathy because I'm I'm pretty 

613
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:24,040
sure she does not like yay gays,
like gays and trans in every 

614
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,840
way. 
Like let's go ahead and like let

615
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:31,440
you know, let it all happen. 
I'm pretty sure she's supported 

616
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:36,320
like, limiting gay rights and 
like making, you know, And the 

617
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,480
only reason I'm being at all 
waffly about it is that I don't 

618
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,400
know this person in real life. 
I don't know. 

619
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,840
I've never had a conversation 
with her. 

620
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:48,320
Like, I would feel better to say
these things adamantly having 

621
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,159
had a conversation with them 
personally. 

622
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,440
But at the same time, the things
that we've seen historically 

623
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,120
about her doesn't lead me to 
believe that we should be like 

624
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,680
giving her the benefit of the 
doubt. 

625
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:05,960
But as a man on a podcast in 
this situation, I, you know, I 

626
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:08,240
don't want to just condemn her 
immediately. 

627
00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:11,720
I want her to have her moment to
like defend herself. 

628
00:35:11,720 --> 00:35:14,800
And it just doesn't seem like 
something. 

629
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,200
That well, and then it goes back
to just believing. 

630
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,600
I've said many times it's hard 
to believe anything Gretchen 

631
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,240
says because she lies, as she 
showed early on in the season 

632
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,640
with the hospital thing, right? 
You know, just start at the 

633
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,640
beginning of the season or even 
before they started filming. 

634
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:37,400
When it was announced that she 
was coming back, it really irked

635
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:42,480
me because not just as a 
character, but also what she 

636
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,440
stands for and what she believes
in. 

637
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:50,040
It bugged me that they would 
bring someone like that onto the

638
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,680
show. 
You know, they've had people 

639
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:57,120
similar to that and they're no 
longer on the show, thankfully. 

640
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:02,800
So just to bring that energy on,
just to do a tit for tat while 

641
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,960
they did it with a luxurious on 
Shanna, now they need to sick 

642
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,480
somebody on Tamra and see what 
happens. 

643
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,880
And this is what happens. 
This utter ball of confusion, 

644
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,320
you know? 
Yeah, Yeah. 

645
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,200
I don't think ultimately she was
great for the show with the 

646
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,680
energy that she brought. 
Not just this instance, but also

647
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:28,600
the Katy of it all, the being 
stuck of in the past and then 

648
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:33,440
when you finally get to this, I 
don't and then bringing slate on

649
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:39,360
and that they're A2 Fer it's 
it's hard to watch. 

650
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,040
It's hard to watch. 
I don't advocate for anyone 

651
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,160
being fired about saying fire, 
I'm just saying she is hard to 

652
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,320
watch. 
Well, I mean, she's just a temp 

653
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,840
anyway, so I mean, come on. 
I mean, I, I don't, I would 

654
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,840
think she wouldn't come back if 
they couldn't bring back Alexis.

655
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,960
I don't, should not bring back 
Gretchen. 

656
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:01,800
I think when they're bringing on
like these old beefs, I don't 

657
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,000
think they're bringing them on 
with like any realistic. 

658
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,800
They're trying to bring them on 
to like resolve a situation. 

659
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,840
If they if they hit fire in a 
bottle or lightning in a bottle,

660
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,280
then good for them is what 
they're hoping. 

661
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,880
But yeah, I don't think they're 
bringing on these old beefs to 

662
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,880
like, really get anywhere with. 
It I feel people I was trying to

663
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,080
think just now of people of 
housewives who've been were 

664
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,440
housewives and then were brought
back as a friend and then 

665
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,640
evolved into being a full time 
cast member and charade comes to

666
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:34,600
mind because she I can't 
remember all the details, but it

667
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,560
didn't seem that she was coming 
back with a vendetta right or 

668
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,840
wanting to talk about things 
that happened in 2012 it. 

669
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,160
Was more about where she was 
today. 

670
00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:51,760
Right and new beef, you know not
focusing on I don't like Nini 

671
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,120
for this reason from 2012 and 
instead I don't like Nini 

672
00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:00,400
because of 2020 whenever. 
Yeah, 2022. 

673
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,800
No, you're right, absolutely. 
And that's why this is, you're 

674
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,480
right and so confusing as to why
they would go this way, why they

675
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:14,760
would like pivot to make it seem
like Tamara's making this all 

676
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,960
up, which I really. 
Do they want to have a balanced 

677
00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:22,680
as if they're saying, well, 
we're going to throw this out 

678
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,680
there that maybe Gretchen, but 
The thing is. 

679
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,960
They're like, we have the Mcbee 
dynasty. 

680
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,800
We we might, might want to, 
might want to capitulate towards

681
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,000
a lot of conservative people now
on Bravo. 

682
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,920
Well, but you don't do that by 
making them seem as if they're 

683
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,360
they're homophobic assholes. 
Well, but if it makes it out 

684
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,280
that like the Liberals are 
trying to make them seem that 

685
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:45,920
way, maybe I'm just saying I 
don't. 

686
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,640
Think it's that. 
I think it was just interesting 

687
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,320
how you throw it out there that 
potentially Gretchen could have 

688
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:59,760
liked these horrible posts that 
are very anti LGBTQ and then you

689
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,360
quickly retract it after the 
commercial break. 

690
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,960
Yeah. 
And then you pivot to Tamra's 

691
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:10,280
leaking things, which doesn't 
really vibe with everything 

692
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,680
else. 
It will be one thing if they are

693
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,480
trying to prove, if this person 
who called Gina said I can prove

694
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:21,960
to you that Gretchen didn't like
these things, as Slade said, I 

695
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,000
will. 
I will. 

696
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,080
I'm going to go with the mat. 
He didn't say this, but he 

697
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,080
basically, I'm going to prove 
it's Tamara. 

698
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,320
I'm going to prove that you 
aren't this horrible homophobic 

699
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,680
person. 
And then but how do you do that?

700
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,640
If you can't prove it, you pivot
to something else, right? 

701
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,360
IE Tamara is leaking 
information. 

702
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,080
And then I'm just a conspiracy 
theorist. 

703
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,520
It makes this is what you're 
doing show. 

704
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,080
Now I'm thinking all these 
conspiracies, why would this 

705
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:51,400
come out? 
Did Tamara action leak 

706
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,040
information? 
Is it Slay? 

707
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,360
Did he pay this voice person? 
And what voice person? 

708
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,360
Who is this person? 
Who is this mystery person? 

709
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,440
Well, I mean, you're supposed to
assume this mystery person is 

710
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,040
someone legitimate who they're 
hiding his identity. 

711
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,720
Their Blogger. 
Their content creator. 

712
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:11,000
There's something there's 
someone who needs their 

713
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,200
identity. 
Gotta stop saying Blogger. 

714
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,280
This is not. 
Yeah, it's not 1996. 

715
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:22,240
Yeah. 96, 2006 Yeah, whichever. 
So yeah, I my main problem that 

716
00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:27,000
just doesn't sit right with me 
right now is like, why I should 

717
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:32,800
give a shit. 
Like, I mean, honestly, before 

718
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:38,400
any of tonight happened, we all 
assumed Gretchen and others on 

719
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:42,040
the show had a very conservative
leaning that they did not 

720
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,080
necessarily support the LGBT 
community. 

721
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,840
They don't support trans rights.
They don't support any number of

722
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:52,480
things that you and I would. 
So like in any sort of regular 

723
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,640
conversation. 
I don't know why I should be 

724
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,160
giving them the benefit of the 
doubt. 

725
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:02,640
Like, I guess for the 
storytelling and then for the, 

726
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,360
you know, like this is reality. 
And like, we don't, you know, I 

727
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,320
want to know, like, at the end 
of the day, that this person is 

728
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,720
or was not thinking a certain 
way. 

729
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,840
But the same time, like, I don't
know, I don't want to give 

730
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,080
Gretchen the benefit of the 
doubt. 

731
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,600
Like, I believe that she liked 
those things. 

732
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:27,360
I believe that whether she truly
believes them, I believe she did

733
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:31,400
it. 
And that the conversation that 

734
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,680
needs to be had is why she feels
that's OK. 

735
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:39,360
Why if she doesn't, if she can't
stand up and say I didn't do 

736
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,160
that and here's why. 
If she can't look Heather in the

737
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:46,160
face and say I love your kids 
and I think that they're great 

738
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,080
and I liked these things, but I 
don't agree with this, this and 

739
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,480
this. 
If she can't do that on a 

740
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:54,680
camera, then I don't want I 
don't want to hear it, you know,

741
00:41:54,680 --> 00:42:00,560
and that that's comes down like 
I'm curious, just for the sake 

742
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,320
of fairness. 
I do want to hear that her side,

743
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,080
but I don't care at the end of 
the day. 

744
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:13,040
Like I think, I think she's, I 
think that she's trying to 

745
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:17,240
capitulate and make things OK so
she can be on TV. 

746
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:24,240
Does it suck if Tamara's putting
it out there and like trying to 

747
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,360
like make? 
Yeah, a little bit, but. 

748
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:28,800
Do you think it's both things 
though? 

749
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:33,520
Just focusing on the? 
Do you think she created these 

750
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,960
AI generated forever? 
And also do you think she's 

751
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:39,600
leaking information? 
Do you think both things are 

752
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,520
just one or the other? 
I don't think Tamra, I don't 

753
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,520
think any housewife would go 
through the trouble of creating 

754
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,800
AI. 
Garbage maybe? 

755
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,800
The thing is, like we come from 
going back to Diana on Beverly 

756
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,720
Hills being accused of sticking 
bots on Garcelle's bots. 

757
00:42:58,720 --> 00:43:01,560
Are one thing. 
But still, it's, it's still, 

758
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:06,720
it's making something out of 
nothing to attack a castmate. 

759
00:43:07,240 --> 00:43:09,640
So this is where we are in 
Housewives. 

760
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,720
I can. 
I can see Tamara doing it just 

761
00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:14,840
because Tamara wants to be 
proven right. 

762
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,040
I really hope that's not the 
case because I think Tamara 

763
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,080
could have been proven right 
without it. 

764
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,040
And that's where it just, it 
just doesn't make sense for the 

765
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:29,000
show to do this because if they 
have put this idea out there 

766
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,040
that Tamara has manufactured all
of this just for the sake of 

767
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:36,200
being right, then they have 
essentially fired Tamara again. 

768
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,800
Like I don't think there's any 
way Tamara gets back from it. 

769
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,640
Right, if you're well, I think 
it's more so about leaking 

770
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:46,680
information is worse to them. 
So to make this case. 

771
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:52,600
Oh yeah. 
So strongly from this person and

772
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:58,360
to put time stamps and date 
stamps on all of this to try to 

773
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,320
prove a point that Tamara leaked
this information. 

774
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,080
I don't understand why they do 
that either. 

775
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,600
I was her. 
I would be very upset seeing. 

776
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,960
Especially when they know and 
they probably had major 

777
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,320
negotiations over the fact that 
Tamara came back to the show 

778
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:21,720
having had a successful 
podcasting, you know, stint and 

779
00:44:21,720 --> 00:44:24,240
knowing that she was going to 
have these things where she 

780
00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:27,720
couldn't talk about the show. 
And like she had involvement in 

781
00:44:27,720 --> 00:44:30,040
this in the press side of 
things. 

782
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:35,640
Like they it just like it's like
playing with fire almost. 

783
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,280
I don't think that she would 
leak information. 

784
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,400
I think maybe she might dig up 
Stop Not Maybe. 

785
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,080
I think she would stop, but I 
don't think that she would leak 

786
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:49,520
information to bloggers because 
she knows how that could come 

787
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,560
back and be proven and hurt her 
and get her kicked off. 

788
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,760
I would agree with that. 
She's not stupid. 

789
00:44:54,760 --> 00:45:01,040
I mean, unless this whole idea 
of wanting to quit, especially 

790
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,320
last year, when what she's going
through, she's just like, Oh, 

791
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,760
well, if I'm going to do this, 
I'm going to go down a blame 

792
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:11,160
blaze of glory and you know she.
I would say Blazer Gore. 

793
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,840
I would say I don't care about 
this show. 

794
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:13,920
I'll leak things. 
But again. 

795
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,760
No, but like if I'm going to go 
down, I'm going to be in a ball 

796
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,360
of fire. 
Like I'm not going to like 

797
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:19,920
leave. 
Like this time, if I'm going to 

798
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,520
leave, I'm not going to if I'm 
going to be the way I want to go

799
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:23,880
out. 
What? 

800
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:25,360
Is the ball of fire. 
What is you? 

801
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,840
What do you get from the saying 
leak is leaking this 

802
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,800
information? 
Just that she did it her way 

803
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,680
that like instead of being fired
this time, it it would be like I

804
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,840
told the story that I wanted to 
tell. 

805
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:41,080
Like, I mean, we start out if 
you remember on 2 TS she was 

806
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,640
saying you're not going to like 
me this season and. 

807
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,560
Well, I think that's more so 
like the quitting part and just 

808
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:51,080
being flying off the handle and 
not being able to control her 

809
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:55,760
emotions. 
I mean, if you were trying to, 

810
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,520
if you were doing something you 
didn't like to do, but you were 

811
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:03,440
like, and you didn't want to 
walk away from it, like if 

812
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,160
you're trying to get yourself 
fired, this is a good way to 

813
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,400
get. 
Self sabotage. 

814
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:11,800
Yes it could. 
Be if she did this, yes, again, 

815
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:13,560
I don't think she would do that 
either. 

816
00:46:14,720 --> 00:46:16,240
I think she would just walk 
away. 

817
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,360
I would hope. 
So she was going to quit. 

818
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:22,000
If Teddy hadn't talked her into 
going back, I don't think we 

819
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:23,200
would have seen her the rest of 
the season. 

820
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,800
Yeah. 
And something Katie would have 

821
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,960
flipped through the entire 
season. 

822
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,320
But I'm just saying though. 
But with that being said, she 

823
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:36,720
went back and she's like, OK, 
well, if if I was ready to walk 

824
00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:39,840
away, like, you know, I'm just 
doing this for, you know, the 

825
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,240
sake of getting paid more like. 
But you're not getting anything.

826
00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:46,320
What I'm getting at is you're 
not getting at getting anything 

827
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,640
from leaking information. 
That's why it's me. 

828
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:53,560
One, she's not stupid. 
Two, you're not gaining anything

829
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,600
by leaking this information. 
So this person may have had all 

830
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,040
the information, but what did 
they do with it? 

831
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,400
It wasn't like with Teresa and 
Right, right, right. 

832
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,240
That and Jen Aiden leaking 
information. 

833
00:47:05,240 --> 00:47:07,800
So I just started laughing. 
This voice is probably Katie. 

834
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:12,320
It's she's like, Tamara told me 
what was going on. 

835
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:14,520
But now. 
But she and Katie were were 

836
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:15,920
good. 
They were like teaming up 

837
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:17,680
against Spreadsheet, right? 
Right, right. 

838
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,360
So it's like, couldn't be Katie 
either. 

839
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,120
You don't gain anything. 
That's why it's hard. 

840
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,960
I can't believe it's Tamara 
because Tamra would do things to

841
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,960
benefit Tamra and this does not 
benefit Tamra. 

842
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,560
True. 
Unless you're just trying to 

843
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:36,920
spin a narrative of if she this 
is how you could have the links 

844
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,920
mate be from Tamra if you're 
leaking information that is 

845
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:45,240
detrimental to Gretchen. 
If you're saying in this scene 

846
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,480
that I shot that there was shot,
although when turned on 

847
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,200
Gretchen, they kicked her out of
a car. 

848
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,400
That is something that a Blogger
would be like, oh, let's run 

849
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:56,920
with. 
Sorry, a content creator would 

850
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,200
run with and the press would run
with of Oh well, they're 

851
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,200
shooting. 
Gretchen gets ostracized by the 

852
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:05,480
whole group. 
This little it's antsy bullshit 

853
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,600
of she met with Katie. 
She ran out of New Orleans. 

854
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:12,880
She fake quits very keywords. 
She fake quits. 

855
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:20,400
It doesn't serve her so it's 
they it's so dumb. 

856
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,240
Not dumb, I've it's. 
I don't understand why it's. 

857
00:48:24,240 --> 00:48:25,000
Silly. 
There's a lot. 

858
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,840
Of no, no, I don't understand 
why Shannon and Gina and Jim are

859
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,320
so quick to say, well, of course
Tamara's leaking information. 

860
00:48:31,720 --> 00:48:35,360
Look at the bigger picture about
what this does and what, what 

861
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,960
puzzle piece, what chess piece 
does this move? 

862
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,800
It doesn't. 
Again, sometimes they're just 

863
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:46,080
playing checkers though. 
Yeah, but it doesn't make sense.

864
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,760
Yeah. 
No, I, I, I'm not in it. 

865
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:50,160
I'm not disagreeing with you 
there. 

866
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,680
It just. 
That's why I don't believe the 

867
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:56,360
leaks that came from Tamara. 
That I don't believe. 

868
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,120
Could someone have sent her some
fake information? 

869
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,280
The whole, the whole Gretchen, 
like, you know, the folk stuff. 

870
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:04,880
Yes. 
And she ran with that. 

871
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,080
Yeah. 
But it supposedly came from I 

872
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:10,040
heart, is what she says. 
I really need more background 

873
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:11,520
about that, about a three and 
two. 

874
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,720
When I went in to say, how long 
have you known about this? 

875
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:18,000
How did you hear about it? 
Because I feel like this has 

876
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,600
been going on for a while. 
So that's the part that still 

877
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:26,040
drives me up the wall. 
Like Gretchen is not secretively

878
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:30,760
like, let's go down to Wii Ho 
and hang out with the gays. 

879
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:34,640
Right, like. 
She's been very vocal and very 

880
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:38,600
obvious about her conservatism. 
And this has been brought up on 

881
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,600
Reddit for months and months and
months. 

882
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,880
Yeah, I don't know about right 
back a year. 

883
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:47,680
I don't know the timeline, but 
it's not a surprise about 

884
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,760
Gretchen's beliefs. 
Yeah, so. 

885
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,080
I'm just trying to think like if
we had a friend that like we, 

886
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:57,800
we, we do have friends that we 
question, they're like, you 

887
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,960
know, are they conservative, 
they liberal, like, you know, 

888
00:49:59,960 --> 00:50:02,280
where do they fall on, on this? 
Do they support us? 

889
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,280
So like if we were to find all 
of a sudden one of those friends

890
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:11,240
was just like vocally, like, no,
gays are bad. 

891
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:17,040
Like, we knew about it and we're
trying to hope for the best. 

892
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,280
Like, could that be happening 
with Heather and Emmel? 

893
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,600
You know, all of that? 
Like, it's got to be a tough 

894
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:29,760
road to walk where you're like, 
I'm hoping this isn't the case, 

895
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,200
but you find yourself there 
still hoping that this person 

896
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,360
doesn't think these horrible 
things about us. 

897
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:41,240
But then they probably do. 
Or they're at least friends with

898
00:50:41,240 --> 00:50:44,000
horrible people that just, you 
know, aren't fun to be around. 

899
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,160
Yeah, it's just the whole, like 
some of my best friends are 

900
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:53,520
right, but it doesn't even 
matter if are we truly friends 

901
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,280
if you're supporting things that
don't support me. 

902
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:59,560
And I think that's where Heather
definitely comes down to with 

903
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,320
this episode and. 
She got over it so quickly. 

904
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,280
She felt so bad. 
So that car ride back to the 

905
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:10,920
airport where they all felt so 
bad and Tamara, I think not, I 

906
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,400
don't think I know part of 
Tamara was saying this sucks for

907
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:15,760
Heather. 
It's really sad. 

908
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,240
But I thought this would be the 
nail of the coffin. 

909
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:23,520
And that's why she went back to 
this girl's been doing this to 

910
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,600
me for 12 years. 
I've been saying for so long 

911
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,280
that she's horrible. 
She's not a good person. 

912
00:51:27,720 --> 00:51:29,800
She thought this would be the 
nail of the coffin, and it's 

913
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:31,800
not. 
I might say she thought I'd be 

914
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,760
in the old coffin. 
Not that she was trying to make 

915
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,440
the nail happen. 
Well, she did, but she wasn't. 

916
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,440
She wasn't creating. 
I don't feel like she was like 

917
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:44,000
trying to hammer the nail in. 
She was just trying to be like, 

918
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,240
look, what more do we need to 
yeah. 

919
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,720
Show that she's a bad person and
everyone. 

920
00:51:48,720 --> 00:51:53,320
Or that it's possible that 
everything she's been saying 

921
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:57,560
about me is just part of her 
overall vadnais. 

922
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,520
Yeah. 
Yeah, it just sucks. 

923
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,920
And I think, and part of it is 
what, you know, we're talking 

924
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,440
about. 
Like you like, don't want to 

925
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:15,800
feel like these people truly do 
despise you or really have 

926
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,760
something against you. 
But then when you think about it

927
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:23,400
or start to analyse it, it's 
just like, well, why? 

928
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,520
What have they done to show me 
otherwise? 

929
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:29,040
You know, they're not like 
jumping out and being like, you 

930
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,360
know, being supportive of 
certain things. 

931
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:37,560
They're just, they always have 
that weird little tickle of 

932
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:41,840
like, this is just not right. 
So that's, again, that's where 

933
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:45,320
like, I just don't feel, I feel 
about other podcasts we've 

934
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,120
talked to and we've been on like
they would just be very much 

935
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:52,320
like, screw Gretchen, you know, 
like, this is awful. 

936
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:55,200
Why are we even entertaining the
idea that she's a good person, 

937
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:59,840
right? 
But I think that's also what is 

938
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:01,800
worth talking about with these 
shows. 

939
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:06,280
Right, I thought walking into 
this, I would just say she's 

940
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,360
guilt because I thought they, I 
didn't expect what happened at 

941
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,280
the end, right? 
I thought it'd be just clearly 

942
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:15,440
Gretchen's horrible, she liked 
horrible things on Instagram and

943
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,600
instead I'm questioning the the 
validity of these horrible 

944
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:23,320
things and these screenshots. 
And now I'm also my mind is 

945
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,400
being distracted by the leaks of
it all. 

946
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:31,400
So they this was not a well 
produced episode because. 

947
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,640
Or was it we're talking about it
they're. 

948
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:38,320
Talking about it, but we're also
there's not a clear narrative. 

949
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,440
It's very messy. 
The show's messy, the producers 

950
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,320
are messy. 
It's very muddy and murky. 

951
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,600
What I hear you telling me this 
is like an Oscar film. 

952
00:53:46,240 --> 00:53:49,200
It's not a very clear narrative.
It's it's an open ending. 

953
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:52,320
What do you feel happened? 
It's just it's really murky. 

954
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,920
Yeah, no, I don't. 
I don't like it, but at the same

955
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,920
time it is it's thought 
provoking in a way that I don't 

956
00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:05,240
expect from my housewives. 
We were just thinking too hard 

957
00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:08,240
about it. 
We've been accused of that as 

958
00:54:08,240 --> 00:54:12,640
well, So and like, but it's what
I like about these shows. 

959
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:17,640
It's what I think makes them 
interesting in a point is like 

960
00:54:17,720 --> 00:54:20,520
it's not just black and white. 
It's not cut and dry. 

961
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:26,320
It's complicated. 
But at the same time, I think in

962
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:32,440
this, in my gut, in this 
specific case, I think that 

963
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:38,040
Gretchen liked those things and 
I think that she I think she has

964
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:42,560
a difficult relationship with 
the gay community. 

965
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:44,720
I just I thought you about to 
say the truth. 

966
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:49,120
Well, and that I just think that
like, you know, she wants to 

967
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:54,360
condemn it because it just 
doesn't strike her at her at the

968
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,680
surface of being something she 
wants to support. 

969
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:02,360
But I think she also understands
that it's not, you know, binary 

970
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:07,640
literally in the sense that, 
like, you know, gay people don't

971
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,240
equal bad. 
But at the same time, it's 

972
00:55:10,240 --> 00:55:12,520
probably something she's been 
fed her entire life. 

973
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,800
I'm always, you know. 
Yeah, so I just, I just don't 

974
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,560
want to defend people who I 
wouldn't. 

975
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,880
Question that. 
We're questioning things. 

976
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:26,280
I want to, I want to help people
understand that like, you know, 

977
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:31,200
it's not an easy situation. 
It's not a clear cut thing. 

978
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:36,000
I also want to help people 
understand that like, you know, 

979
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,280
it's stupid as it sounds. 
It's, it's as easy as do you 

980
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,160
hate people? 
Oh, you don't. 

981
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:45,800
Well, then why do you, you know,
it's like it, it, it's not hard 

982
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:50,240
to love somebody. 
Just, you know, support people, 

983
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,480
try not to cut people down, 
build them up. 

984
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,120
You know that's all it takes. 
No matter who they are. 

985
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:02,160
Except when they're Gretchen. 
I think to sum up what did 

986
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:05,440
because again, we keep going 
down the rabbit hole. 

987
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,160
Yeah, sorry. 
No, it's it's no, that's what 

988
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,760
we're thinking now that we're at
the end of the season. 

989
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:15,200
What did you think of the season
and what are you looking forward

990
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:17,280
to with these this three-part 
reunion? 

991
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,720
I like how you've gotten to 
become a better interview 

992
00:56:22,720 --> 00:56:25,480
question asker. 
Like these are all things that 

993
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:29,560
like a year ago, you and I would
not have been asking what do I 

994
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:31,640
want out of the next three 
episodes? 

995
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:38,680
I want this addressed. 
They won't do it. 

996
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,720
I'm not going to convince myself
otherwise. 

997
00:56:40,720 --> 00:56:43,000
Not to our satisfaction. 
Yeah, no, it's going to be very 

998
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:51,720
lightly glossed over. 
I that's a tough question. 

999
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:55,200
They're going to spend a lot of 
time on Ryan and Jen's whole 

1000
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:59,360
thing. 
Tamra, Jen Thing. 

1001
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:01,400
Right. 
I think there's been some time 

1002
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:05,880
on Shannon and you know, where 
she is independently and like, 

1003
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:09,960
you know, why she wants to 
support Jen's marriage so much 

1004
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:14,280
and that's to become a thing. 
Yeah. 

1005
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:15,680
I don't, I don't know how to 
answer that. 

1006
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:20,680
I really don't like, I think 
this is a very weird season, but

1007
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,280
I'm, I think I'm too wrapped up 
in what happened tonight to 

1008
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,840
really answer that. 
I'll I'll be able to ask me that

1009
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,560
same question start of next week
before we get into the three. 

1010
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:31,280
It was at the end of the of the 
three parts. 

1011
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:32,720
You know what we thought about 
the season. 

1012
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:37,640
Yeah, I think it was a very up 
and down season. 

1013
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:44,480
Some filler episodes, you know, 
some interesting points, some 

1014
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:49,840
good points or moments. 
I would say some stronger kind 

1015
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,120
of interesting words, some 
strong things, some nice things,

1016
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:54,720
some good things, some bad 
things. 

1017
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:55,920
True. 
I too. 

1018
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:56,600
Yeah. 
I guess maybe I can't 

1019
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,440
necessarily answer that question
either. 

1020
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:03,680
I would say I'm hoping for more 
clarity in the reunion. 

1021
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:07,600
That's my I'm setting the 
intention for clarity and it's 

1022
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:09,800
already been shot, but I hope 
I'm hoping for. 

1023
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:14,080
While you were talking, I really
feel I, I don't know, I feel 

1024
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:20,320
like they were really trying to 
make Tamara look vulnerable and 

1025
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:24,160
be vulnerable, but not in a 
redeeming way. 

1026
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,880
This season or just. 
This entire season, I feel like 

1027
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,400
a lot of the the the thread 
through the season has been 

1028
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,720
Tamara's a horrible person and 
doesn't know what to do about 

1029
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:37,640
it. 
And I don't know if they're 

1030
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:41,720
trying to do that like in a, it 
doesn't feel like they're doing 

1031
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:46,680
that in a positive light. 
Like it seems like the entire 

1032
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:50,600
thread was Tamara's horrible and
we shouldn't like her. 

1033
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:56,000
Like, yeah, I mean. 
Which is a weird thing to do for

1034
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,920
someone that they really hang 
the entire series upon. 

1035
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,080
Right. 
But then, but she's been cast in

1036
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:06,400
the role of the villain, and so 
you're not. 

1037
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:14,160
It's interesting, somewhat 
related, kind of listening to to

1038
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:18,040
tease and talking about the Salt
Lake episodes. 

1039
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:22,000
Tamra talks about how she 
relates to Lisa so much and how 

1040
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,480
she hates her. 
This is a takedown season and 

1041
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:27,640
etcetera, etcetera, right? 
So I think relating it to 

1042
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:32,840
herself, but the only person who
took down Tamra was Tamra and 

1043
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,920
her actions and her quitting and
the high emotions. 

1044
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,680
And it came from a place of 
course, as I said before, 

1045
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:43,000
dealing with both the therapy 
and past traumas and the teddy 

1046
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:44,760
stuff. 
But she didn't. 

1047
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,720
So it's, I understand where it's
coming from, but she didn't 

1048
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:53,120
express that in the best way and
her actions weren't great. 

1049
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,120
And so no one and that the cast 
was just reacting to what she 

1050
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:59,720
was giving them and they could 
have given her more grace for 

1051
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,000
sure. 
But they weren't trying to take 

1052
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:03,880
her down. 
Unless your name is Gretchen and

1053
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:07,560
your name is Jen, right? 
You know, Shannon may not like 

1054
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:10,000
Tamara, but she's not trying to 
take her down. 

1055
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:12,560
She might be petty with her for 
sure, but she's not. 

1056
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,560
Trying to take her Emily wasn't 
like trying to lift her up 

1057
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:17,200
either. 
No, but she wasn't trying to. 

1058
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,880
She, we're not nor Heather, 
we're trying to take her down. 

1059
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:25,960
Tamara was bringing herself down
by her just crazy chaotic 

1060
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:28,760
energy, right? 
So it's not a fair comparison, 

1061
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:32,840
but I think what's going into 
what you're saying, yes, they've

1062
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,480
shown her like, I'm very 
vulnerable, but I'm not 

1063
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,760
expressing it well and I'm being
an asshole and I'm raging and 

1064
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,000
I'm spinning and I'm walking out
and I'm quitting every 5 

1065
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:46,080
minutes. 
And so, you know, a one hand, 

1066
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,040
it's what they're get, what 
she's giving them, what they 

1067
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:49,760
have to work with. 
And on the other hand, it does 

1068
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:51,720
seem as if you're hanging her 
out to dry. 

1069
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:55,680
And then this last episode 
especially, running the bus over

1070
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,200
her back. 
And forth. 

1071
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:02,640
You know, didn't help things so 
as if I'm her, I would say 

1072
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:06,280
watching all this, why do I keep
why do I keep doing this? 

1073
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:12,040
Yeah, Why am I coming back? 
But it's just really next year's

1074
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,520
season 20. 
Like, is next year going to be a

1075
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:18,320
tamer of redemption season? 
Like, is this all to be like, 

1076
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:20,800
last season was bad for me, you 
know? 

1077
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:24,560
I think if it's going to be 
that, then she needs to grow. 

1078
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:28,480
And I love Tamra, but she needs 
to grow. 

1079
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:33,760
Grow a lot needs a lot of water.
A lot of growth, a lot of a lot 

1080
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:37,000
of water, a lot of sunshine, 
enrich that soil. 

1081
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:40,600
You know, take this metaphor, 
wherever you will go with it, 

1082
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:46,280
you got to you got to do that 
because you know, this season 

1083
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,920
only built off of last season 
and then throwing whatever she 

1084
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,520
could have and Shannon and then 
spinning and spinning and 

1085
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:53,600
throwing shit at Gin and 
Gretchen. 

1086
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:57,680
So I think I for sure she needs 
you back in season 20. 

1087
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:00,920
It's just a definite, you can't 
lose that. 

1088
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:05,920
But you need to show something 
more, because otherwise, yes, 

1089
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,040
you can carry the show. 
But if you're carrying it in the

1090
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:11,320
same old way you've been 
carrying it, you got to keep 

1091
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:12,360
moving. 
And people. 

1092
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:13,720
Yeah. 
It's not just about them moving 

1093
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:15,040
forward. 
It's about the with other 

1094
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:17,000
people. 
It's about moving forward with 

1095
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:18,760
yourself. 
Right. 

1096
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:23,440
And I don't think people like 
Tamara brings great chaos. 

1097
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:25,680
Yeah. 
But there's only so much chaos 

1098
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:28,920
you can watch before you're just
like, OK, what does this mean? 

1099
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:30,360
Why and my? 
Eyes turns on you. 

1100
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:35,040
Yeah, so she needs to like bring
it back to something meaningful,

1101
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:38,400
if ever was anything meaningful.
I don't know what she did before

1102
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:46,320
she came back, but yeah, it's. 
So yeah, clarity and the reunion

1103
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:49,680
and just I hope Andy can make 
sense of this. 

1104
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:52,200
I love that you keep trying to 
make sense of this episode that 

1105
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:54,600
we're doing, like we're all over
the place. 

1106
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,320
Here, oh, it's very all over. 
The place and hats off to you 

1107
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:02,640
for like I I'm I'm embracing the
chaos of this because this what 

1108
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:05,320
we just watched was pretty 
unhinged. 

1109
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:10,360
I feel the fact that you're like
there's 1/2 hour before it got 

1110
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:11,280
unhinged. 
I'm like. 

1111
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:14,960
Yeah, again, you can't just 
focus on the last few minutes. 

1112
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,240
You know, there were actually 
some good moments and that are 

1113
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:21,360
like fun. 
That's also saying you're not 

1114
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:22,800
wrong. 
You're gonna have fun and the 

1115
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:26,600
drama you have to have the we're
riding around on bicycles and 

1116
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:29,960
talking about real shit. 
And then we're we're ripping 

1117
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:32,400
each other's faces off. 
But this is like compared to 

1118
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,880
like other shows salt like 
Potomac, whatever. 

1119
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,880
This was mild ripping the face 
off, you know, And then they 

1120
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:41,040
felt bad ripping the face off, 
like with less than 24 hours 

1121
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:42,040
later. 
Yeah. 

1122
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:45,040
So. 
I think I just feel a little, I 

1123
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:47,720
mean, obviously because the 
whole thing hits close to home 

1124
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:50,760
and like the whole idea of, you 
know, someone approving or 

1125
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,760
disapproving of you know who we 
are as people. 

1126
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,960
Like, I don't know, like it 
just. 

1127
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,360
Yeah. 
Yeah, it made, it just brings up

1128
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:05,720
the whole idea of like, how do 
we have a podcast about a show 

1129
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:12,000
where like admittedly most 
people are, you know, maybe not 

1130
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,840
supportive of us, you know, but 
I don't want to get into that 

1131
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,880
right now. 
But it just it's just thing to 

1132
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:19,400
consider. 
It's the only thing about for 

1133
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:24,960
like Bravo in general. 
It's ignoring certain things and

1134
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:28,160
sometimes we're willing to 
ignore it more so than others. 

1135
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:32,640
I definitely pick and choose who
to ignore in terms of their 

1136
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,360
beliefs outside of the show. 
So I don't know. 

1137
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:38,120
It's, it's a very complicated 
relationship we have with this 

1138
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:40,040
network and with these 
housewives, right? 

1139
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:44,160
So, and this definitely brought 
that to the surface because we 

1140
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:47,400
don't talk about things like 
this normally so. 

1141
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:51,080
Meanwhile, Liam McSweeney is 
feeling like, all right, yeah, 

1142
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:56,320
that's, you know, complication. 
That's a whole different thing. 

1143
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,960
It is no, but I mean it comes 
down to the whole idea of like. 

1144
01:04:59,960 --> 01:05:02,560
That was they fed me alcohol to 
try to make me perform like a. 

1145
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,360
Bud, but that's the same 
situation though, where it's 

1146
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:08,120
it's not the same, but similar 
in that like, you know, we 

1147
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:11,400
support the ridiculous 
drunkenness of it all, but not 

1148
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,240
this side, you know. 
So there's definitely, I'm not, 

1149
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:19,240
I'm not saying I support the 
takedown of Bravo, but there's 

1150
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:23,080
definitely the they play both 
sides of things and it makes it 

1151
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:25,800
difficult sometimes to enjoy. 
You don't. 

1152
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:27,920
No, I wouldn't bring Leanne to 
it. 

1153
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:29,200
OK. 
All right. 

1154
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:31,200
That's a whole another level of 
messiness that. 

1155
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:32,400
Yeah. 
No, I agree. 

1156
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:34,760
It's not like. 
I think what you're trying to do

1157
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:37,680
with the analogy, but all right,
you know, housewives analogy. 

1158
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:39,400
Should not make analogies all 
right. 

1159
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:42,280
Should we move on? 
Yes. 

1160
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:45,120
Have we beat this to death yet? 
For sure we have. 

1161
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,080
All right, so we'll talk about 
it next time. 

1162
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:48,240
Till next time, OK?
