You might be tempted to let talk about. Bell's new Lux value menu, go to your head. Because 10 indulgences for $5 or less makes you feel fancy. Like you might think you need cloth napkins. Well, you don't. Just use the ones that come in the bag. Don't let the Lux go to your head. I'm going to go ahead and apologize in advance to our audience,

mainly to any of our audience members that are from England. You're not doing this. Because I'm going to have an accent every time we recap this show. I don't want to do this anymore. I know you're done. As there's a drive in a deep left field by Castellanos. Oh man, it's 8 o'clock. And so that'll make it a...

I don't need the spotlight. I shine just fine. Hi, I'm karma. And yes, I am a bitch. Bravo Bros. Good evening, governor. Welcome back to... This is highly offensive.

Oh, welcome back to another episode of Brab Bros, your favorite podcast from the Bros for everybody, for whoever wants to listen. I'm a co-host, Steele Russell, joined as always by the one and only. Shooter Maguta. How you doing? This is, and it's not even highly offensive for the reasons that you would think. I'm not like saying that you're offending the people of London. It might be, which is why I apologize. You absolutely could be, but you're offending me.

And you're offending everybody's eardrums. There's just a lot of, a lot of offense going on. It's only going to get worse. I might do a Liverpool. Oh, man. That is actually one thing that I'm thankful for. Like, their accents are fun. Obviously, there's a couple of Americans on here for now.

But there's nobody with too deep of an accent where it's like, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Cockney. Yeah, it's not too bad. Which, obviously, we're in higher society, so we shouldn't be expecting that. I hope there's one Cockney person on this show. There's going to be a family member. There's going to be like a distant friend or somebody that we meet by, like episode six where it's like, oh boy, subtitles, come on.

I just, I love that accent. That is such a good one. Like, I always think of Snatch. Yeah. Brad Pitt and Snatch, his accent was just, but that's a scouser, isn't it? That's different. Well, no, Brad Pitt was a pikey. No, he was a pikey, but scousers like that.

I think it's close to scouser, yeah. Yeah, okay. Sorry again, if I'm just, like, completely... We do have listeners in England. Yeah, I know. So genuinely not trying to offend. If I do get offensive at some point, let me know. I'll do my best.

I can't wait to see comments on YouTube or something where people are talking about how they're not going to watch us do this anymore. Because of my accent. Then you actually have to stop. Then I will stop. So if it is offensive to you, please tell us. So he'll stop. Right. Let's dive in.

I love this show. That's Australian. I know. It's going to go back and forth. It's inevitable. I love this show. This show is fantastic. This cast is great minus one person.

top to bottom, I really don't have a lot of notes. I like the structure. I like how it's set up. It's a little different than some of the shows we have currently. And again, it's a very charming cast. Yeah. And then the one thing that you said is minus one person. I would actually argue she is great too.

She just can't handle the show. Very clearly she can handle the show. And we'll get into what might be a secret, what might be a rumor, what might be true, what might not be true. So when it comes to that one person, you'll figure all of those things out. But the rest of them are absolutely fantastic.

There are a lot of people on the show. So we did figure we've got a double drop from last Thursday. We'll get you guys all caught up with episodes one and two. We might be jumping around a little bit. So I swear to God, I'm telling you right now, if anybody says anything about spoilers because we're not very, we're following like a chronological order of what happened in episode one and episode two. Enough.

I don't want to hear it. I'm telling you right now, this is your warning. Your warning is we might tell you what happens at the end of episode two, 20 minutes into this, and it won't make a whole lot of sense, but it's going to make sense to us because we just have to hop around. Yeah, knock it off.

God. I know. It's going to be, I will try. I will try. But I love the cast, like I said, and I think that having Mark in there is an interesting and fun kind of nuance that we're not used to.

I think he's going to bring a lot to the show. I think he already has. When it set up the first episode, like he was kind of the narrator, I loved that. It was kind of like he was taking us through this new, show this new cast, what we should know about people, and doing it in a very charming British

accent. And his, their titles are great. We've got lords and ladies and all sorts of wacky shit. Yeah, no, we've got a lot of things going on. And Mark in particular, I didn't know how I was going to feel about it. It is called Ladies of London for a guy into the mix. I'm going to have some questions. He's fantastic. He really is. And it really just comes to show you if he has a good rapport, if he has a good relationship with everybody on the show, it doesn't really matter. He just kind of folds right in with everything. He keeps, people going. I think that what they have, and obviously, yeah, we have to get through a couple of the speed bumps where it's like, oh, what have you been up to for the last couple of months? But like,

they do all pretty much know each other. And by the end of episode two, they've known enough about each other where when they meet, it's like, oh, I've heard so much about you. And that's enough for me. I'm okay with that because they know what they signed up for and they're getting through this. And there's so many different stories for each individual. There's so many things going on. That's why it's going to be kind of tough. And I said yesterday when we were doing Beverly Hills that I could not keep everybody straight. I've got everybody straight now. It just took the second episode. That first episode was really tough because I'm like, wait, was that Missy, was that Missy Margo? Was that Kimmy? Was that Margo? The only person that stood out was Martha. I would never get anything about

her wrong because she is fantastic. I love her so much. I've never fallen in love with a star on Bravo quicker than Martha. She's fantastic. Do nothing with her. Do not change her at all. The only thing you should do with her is give her her own show where we just get to follow Martha around. Just give her more money. Just give her a little bit more money so she's good. Yes, please. Please. Actually, don't. Don't yet.

Not a lot of money. I'm just saying enough to make sure that she's okay. Next season. I want her to, and not because I don't like her, but because she's so very funny. I just want her to watch her struggle a little bit. I don't think she's going to change, though. I don't either.

She seems so open about her struggling through this, and she's still very happy, go lucky, and very aware of what she's going through and the peaks of valleys of her life, as she puts it. but everybody else has so many different things going on. And it just kind of gives you a little bit of an eye into the aristocrat society of London. You know, I'm sure. Anastocracy.

I'm sure we're not going to get a whole lot. There's already discourse online where Emma is actually not part of the royal family. Her husband is not part of the royal family. He's at the upper echelon of aristocrats. Not quite royal. Guess what? What? I don't care.

Dude, that was the one thing that, like, I really wanted to comment. And I actually, like, I just don't bother on Twitter because it's accessible. But I really wanted to comment on that. Like, who the fuck cares? Nobody. We're not watching this any differently. I know there are people, especially in America, that are obsessed with the royal family. I think it's bizarre.

It's very strange, isn't it? Very fucking weird. Who cares? They're a family. I know they're very rich and wealthy and they've got a lot of power. Whatever. Who cares? It's not even our country.

Fucking imperialism. Yeah. They colonized and took over countless lands and stole their money. That's why they are who they are. Yeah, exactly. Celebrate them. Fuck that. You don't need to put a PSA out there and be like, by the way, not part of the royal family.

How dare she? And then you're talking about Megan Martin. It's like, shut up. It's a Bravo show. Who gives a fuck? Nobody. Nobody cares. They could have fake titles.

That would be like. That would be fantastic. Also, like, we're going to split hairs. Did you see her house? Yeah. Like, she's got the it factor. She's fine. Even if she's an asterisk lady.

You know, it actually says to me because as we meet, well, two things. Real quick, I'm going to say the the schick of saying this is, and then introducing us to who it is, was funny at first, that it wasn't funny anymore. And it was really fucking funny when we introduced

the baby who's not born yet. That was fantastic. But going into Emma's backstory, I think there is part of probably people who live over there that really do look at the Royals and like, oh, wow, nobody can touch them. The fact that I guess, Yes, her husband's ancestor decided to open the doors to his manner and allow people in for a zoo.

It's probably frowned upon. There's probably so many people that are, I know it was back then. Oh, people that know the royal family. Yeah, like people in their 30s and 40s that live over there or obsessed with the royals are probably like, eh, no. Oh, the commoners are allowed in there? What are we doing? Tiske. Those dirty animals are on your property. Let the plebs into your home.

It should be a personal zoo. That's disgusting. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm sure there's a lot of that going on. But like I said, there's a lot of different characters, and we go through all of them. I don't think we're going to do extensive backgrounds on all of them while we're recapping this. We'll probably just bring some relevant information back to the surface.

But for the most part, I mean, we just got thrown into this thing. Yeah, which I love. I like when shows do that. I don't like the first episode of this is so-and-so. Here's their backstory. Here's a glimpse into their life. You know who did that? And it's a show that we liked that didn't get renewed was,

girlfriends in Paris. Yeah. Where it was one person who was sort of like the matriarch of the group introducing us to every single individual. And then it's like, here's their backstory. Here's. And it took us two episodes to get through it all. I honestly think that might be one of the reasons it did not go.

Yeah. It just started a little too slow. Whereas this, we're like, oh yeah, big thing that happens over here, especially in the summer. Summer is the season in London. We're going to go to a garden party. I've heard of garden parties. I always wanted to go to a garden party.

Now I'm here. Just kind of looking through the camera lens, but I'm here. No, we're there. Yeah, we're there. That's why I always in our recap say, and now we're going to some. Because we're experiencing. Yeah. You know, just because I'm sitting at home eating beef jerky watching this does not mean I shouldn't be in a garden party with the beautiful aristocrats sipping on shampoo water.

Yeah. Because I don't, you know. Yeah, yeah. Put that together. Well, this is going to be a fun show to recap. Let's jump in to ladies of London. I will say you already. touched on it, but I do think that the reason this show is so good is because of the relationships

that are already formed. But I wonder how much of it is because of where they're at. And like in London, obviously, they have painted this picture and we've heard about it. You've got the royal family, the aristocracy. All of these things are very real and tangible. Because you have a group that is all vying to, you know, climb the social ladder and be part of this oppression. And, Chalana society, I think you're going to see relationships form faster, even if they're fake and forced. They're going to try to play nice with each other and be around each other more to try to climb that ladder.

And maybe we'll see some budding friendships happen earlier on. I can't wait to see some of the fallouts from this stuff because now it's like, oh, you've embarrassed me. That's going to be fun. Yeah, no, it's going to be fun. It's going to be a lot of, it's just going to be a lot more of a different look. than what we're used to for watching a housewife show. Exactly.

Because it's a different country. It's a different culture. When they're actually saying mean things to you, it doesn't look like they're saying mean things to you, but they really are cutting you deep. I think it's meaner. Yeah, it's a lot meaner. And they're talking about you behind your back, but they're also talking to your face and saying the same thing in a meaner way. So there's a lot of weird things that are going to happen that you're not really going to be able to see. But I love when we're going back into like how everybody knows each other, it seems like, especially when it comes to Mark, it goes back to, well, you know, I'm not.

I met him when he was 19 years old and we were just kind of bopping around London going to all these exclusive parties getting absolutely fucking wasted. I mean, there's so many fucking different stories about how we met. And it's, I went on a bender with them for like four or five days. Everybody on the show met. Exactly. And I love that because that shows me, one, you guys didn't meet me. Obviously, we've got a couple of people. Mike is probably the easiest person to look at who have met in the last like couple of months or years even.

But even that, it's like, okay, you know enough about her. It's not like a new introduction. And it's not like a, oh my God, how did you get on this show? Tell me everything about your life in America before you came here. Like, we're not going to do any of that because no one seems to care. And I'm completely cool with that. Don't, right? Like, there's this air of like, that has nothing to do with me.

I don't really care to talk about that. And also, you're here now. That's really all I care about. Right. You get a lot of people living very much in the present, which bodes very well for not only a reality TV show, but a new reality TV show because we're jumping right in to where they're at. Yeah. And they're not trying to take us back.

Like, oh, this one time and oh, this one time, that. Nope, we are in the current day. And I love that about this show. Now, the first person we meet is Mark Francis, who is giving us the run through of the season in London, which is the summer. And he's got everything so, I don't mean this in a bad, but like British. Like, he's like, oh, we're going to a garden party at the Dartmouth house. I'm like, of course you are. Let's go.

But we keep trucking through and we get to meet Kimmy. Kimmy's a socialite. She met Mark at 16 and doing what you said. They were on a bender together. They got fucked up and they met. And I love Kimmy. Kimmy's probably my number two. Yeah, Kimmy's number two.

Martha and Kimmy could stand alone on a show. I'm Mark to throw them in there. Mark's up there. But once they start doing that, then I'm like, well, you can't really do that without someone else, like without Missy. You can't really do that without Margo. So like you keep adding people from the cast because we're still very early on. and there's not enough of like a red flag that sticks out right away

where you're like, ah, they can move on without this person. They're still enjoying everybody, which is more than you can say about a lot of shows when you first start watching them. Yep, I agree. Missy, we get to meet her. She's a model from Sweden.

Grew up in Sweden, travels the world, moved back to London somewhat recently, and it looks like she's really kind of settling down there. She was married to Manchester United's goalie. Yeah, I knew that. Like the late 2000s, yeah. Thank you. Lindigard, yeah.

Okay, I was racking my birthday. brain and I didn't want to look it up. I don't know who her second husband is. They keep showing him. Party boy? Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I'm sure if I lived over there, I would probably know.

That's what's fun about this too. It's like, oh my God, have you heard he's hanging out with so and so? I'm like, ooh, I don't know that person. No, I'm sure there's going to be a lot of mentions like footballers and like things and musicians and things like that. Yeah. I'm actually, I'm pumped for all of that. But Micah, she is an etiquette expert who got into etiqueting,

edict, etiquette, doing etiquette. She got into doing etiquette because she went to a party and felt as though she was completely not up to snuff, looked around, and was like enamored with how people were holding their cutlery and drinking their wine. So she trained under one of the royal families etiquette people or something. Yep. Sounds right. Sounds about right. Anyway, that's what she does for a living. I definitely recognize her.

I think I saw her on TikTok like during COVID or something. Her face looks so familiar. Yeah. And it is dangerously close to a different housewife member that does weird shit online. That's like, I don't really care for what you're doing. But she's okay for now. Bethany Frankel? No, I was going to Amanda the Money Queen.

Oh, God. Yeah. It's like, I got to teach you etiquette. I'm going to teach you courses. At least this is tangible. Yeah, you can be there in person and be like, oh, I can show you what I've done from here. That makes more sense. But I'm sure, and I haven't gone to our website yet, but she probably does have a website.

And there's probably 50 different courses that you can take, and they're all pretty much the same. I give her much more credence than I give the money queen. That's fair. Because again, you can go there. And think about every single rags to riches, hide the poor person in the rich family movie or show. You always get the etiquette scene. Princess Diaries. Anne Hathaway.

She did it. You get the cotillion and all that bullshit that people do. The other thing is her husband's in private equity and travels a lot. I think he probably makes a good amount of money. It sounds like it. Yeah. She's funnier what Dara says about her, knowing her husband's in private equity.

Yeah, yeah. She's a lot of 50K in U.S. dollars a month for whatever they're going to be renting or buying. So it's a pretty good space to be in. Yeah. And Dara's going to say later on, like she fakes her life.

She has no class. I think she's got more than you, Dara. Unfortunately, we're not going to find out enough about Dara to really be like, oh, what are you talking about, lady, unless something comes out,

but like, we'll get into it later. but without her being there anymore, it might not get to the point where somebody's going to do like an expose on her and we're going to find out what she's really about. She may have called a quits right away. She may have called a quits at the right time. She might have gotten out early enough.

Yeah. Yeah. Because there's definitely some skeletons in that closet. Absolutely. And they all center around the fact that I'm convinced at this moment that, yes, she is in fact a madam. Yeah. So that's the scuttle butt going around the garden party. Yeah, you like that one.

We're fancy. Yeah, we really are. that's what they're talking about at the garden party and that's when everybody pretty much shows up except for Dara. We're all talking about well Emma is not there either. She's in Cannes. Yeah. So Emma's going to be missing in action. I feel

a good amount. I have a feeling as well. Yeah, which is fine. As long as she brings it while she's there. But that's what they're all talking about because Micah's best friend is Dara who she calls Bunny and apparently Dara doesn't like it. We've seen some clips that Dara doesn't like it. But Micah continues to do it. And they're

all talking about, oh, did you hear about Dara, who's not here and can't defend herself. I heard that she's a madam. And I love Martha's reaction right away. Well, Martha's not even there yet when it comes up. But yeah, Martha, she probably is the best reaction to the whole thing. But before we even get to that point of the madam thing dropping, we get the run-through of, like you said, Micah, she's my best friend. We've known each other for 24 years.

Like, I would do anything if I would die for it, cut to Dara. we're not really that close, you know, like, yeah, sure, I see her here and there, but, like, it's not that serious. Yeah. So that's the setup. Yeah, that's the easy setup. But when everybody's there and they're talking about it, Martha's reaction is priceless. It's phenomenal. Oh, that's fantastic.

I love that. Wow. And then she proceeds to go around and talk to everybody about it. Now, the whole thing came from, and it kind of joins forces with something that Missy had heard. Yeah. Where Missy was talking to Dara, straight up, talking about Micah. What's your relationship like with Michael? your friendship like with Micah? Well, it's

weird example to use. She's kind of cringe because she gave me pink walkie-talkies the other day and I didn't know what to do with it, but that's just kind of who Micah is. Missy doesn't know what to do with this information. That's not what she said. I thought she was, well, that's pretty much what she said. I called her tacky. She said I wrote it down. Embarrassing

was another word. You're softening the blow. I'm softening the blow because it does matter for episode two, but I don't think it's really going to matter much after that. Well, no, it's doesn't mean shit after that. But we are covering the first two episodes. so it is pertinent right now. We might be here for three hours the way we're going.

Well, once we get past this, it starts to stretch out a little bit. Yeah, stretch it out in the way of you just doing accents for another 45 minutes. Right. Again, Australian. Right. Still Australian. I know. Oh, Baltha.

You just got to be softer with it. That's really all it is. Well, the funny thing is, like, I can do two British accents without changing them, and that's Cockney, weirdly enough. and the high society aristocracy. That's all you have to do. Yes, indeed it is. However, I will not be told what I am to do by the likes of you. Now shall we carry on with our podcast?

Please. Thank you. The big thing to come from the news that Dara was talking shit is now Missy is in between a rock and a heart place. She doesn't know. Should I go tell Micah? Should I have Dara tell Micah? Should I go talk to her about it?

I don't know what to do. So she's kind of up in limbo right now. Talk to my therapist about this. Yeah, talk to your therapist about it. Roo. Roo, we get to meet Rue in episode two. Yeah, we do. And the last news from the garden party is that Lottie's pregnant.

And we get to meet Lottie and her husband Joshua. Joshua, yep. Yep, that sounds right. And they are both in the fashion industry, I think. It seems to me like they're those people, like, they're all over the world and on Instagram especially. They're famous for, like, being famous. Well, Joshua's a little different because Joshua is a tailor to the famous people.

Okay, thank you. So he's dressed a bunch of different, I guess, aristocrats, like, oils. They were talking like Tom Holland and stuff. Yeah, yeah, musicians, actors, things like that. So that's where he is. And he looks great and he looks like he's always putting it on. And we find out in episode two that when they met, they went to The Box.

I know. The Box got another call out. The Box gets another call out, although this is the London one, which is probably less creepy than the one in New York. No, no, no, who's in Soho. Is there a Soho? There's a Soho in London. That's confused. You'll figure it out.

You'll get there. You'll get there. Hell, oh, you. Yeah, they were at the box in London, and they were making out, and she thought that he was Johnny Depp at first. So the guy looks great. What are you going to say? I mean, that's a great comparison. It is, yeah, especially with that facial hair.

Damn, right. It was very Depp-esque facial hair. Yes, yes, it was. Now, this is when we get to learn about titles, because Martha goes first, and she's like, well, I'm a lady, which is pretty much like the bottom of the totem pole. So she is technically royalty through her ex. And when they got divorced, that's episode two, but who cares? She, just the way she tells things because she's so candid and so just open about everything, it lands so good because she's like, well, I didn't have a lot of money.

He had a ton of money. So when we went to do the divorce thing, like there was no money to find. It was all gone. So I got to keep my title. Yeah, I got to keep my title at the end of the day. He had high-powered lawyers. I didn't have high-powered lawyers. So that's how that came about.

And now here I am. Living in this plan. It's so good. Yeah, no, she's so good at doing that. Like, the way that she talks about things is such a matter-of-fact tone and then can laugh it off at the end. It's like, all right, cool. You don't take yourself that seriously.

That's checkbox number one. Yep. And the next royal, or I guess this is up for debate now on Twitter. Yeah, on semantics. But the next royal is Emma, who we didn't get to meet. She is the Martianess of Bath, which is. is the wife of a marquee, I believe. Okay, see, we're doing it, we're doing it.

And I guess she's one of, like, the most important British aristocrats. And one thing that that she has going for her, which is actually really, really cool, is she was the first person of color to be in the aristocracy. And a lot of people, this is probably where this is coming from because people are like Megan Markle stands. A lot of people credit Megan Markle. Who was it that called her out? I think it was Lottie. who was like, Megan Markle likes to say that she is, but she's not.

It's actually Emma. I was like, hell yeah. Yeah, yeah. Let's get a win for Emma there. And we also don't want to disrupt the Megan Markle fans. I'm afraid of those people. It's actually a very good point. Yeah.

I like Megan Markle. Yeah, me too. No problems. I also. Great American. It took me to like episode, it took me to like episode, season two of suits. To realize that was Megan Markle?

And literally the whole first season, I'm like, God, she looks so familiar. And then I finally watched the opening credits. I was like, Megan Marcos, like, Ah, that's who it is. I literally went, oh. And she looked at me like I was the dumbest person on the planet. It's okay.

We all have those moments. Yeah, I have more than others, but it's okay. Now, what Emma does, she is in charge of the estate, the house, and the family. Longleet House, which is the house that we talked about earlier, that the previous owner of said house, I believe it was her husband, Sewellyn. Yes. Her husband, Sewellyn had, uh, maybe it was his grandfather or his dad, but whatever.

It doesn't matter. They opened the house to the public, which was very much frowned upon by the royal family. They said, no, you shan't do that. He did it anyway in order to pay for the house, which actually makes a lot of sense, because I've also seen those movies where you have an old British estate. And you have like the long-lost relative coming into the estate. It's this beautiful, massive house. And they go talk to somebody, like the one person that's taking care of the caretaker.

Yep. And they're like, oh, there's no money. The place is falling apart. We can't do any. All we have is this giant fucking house. So I actually think it's a good idea. And like, if you're going to turn your fancy, schmancy house into anything, a zoo? Hell yeah.

A zoo is awesome. If you have that much land and you have that much going on for you, absolutely bring it in. And we see the buses literally coming into the estate. They have more than a million people visit a year. Uh-huh. Yeah, and that does not surprise me one bit. So good for them opening it up. And she seems so far anyway, she seems to be a woman of the people, which we love to see,

especially in the status that she's in. We want to see more of that. But I do have a sneaky suspicion that because of what we see, obviously, where she missed the first garden party, she came late to the dinner in the second episode. I think she's going to be around, you know, sparingly. It appears that she has a very demanding schedule. Yeah. So, yeah, hopefully, I like her a lot.

So I hope she gets on screen more often than not. But I love watching somebody that's like, you know, quote unquote royalty rubbing mud on a rhino. Yeah. Like that's what I want to see. Yeah, absolutely. Relatibility. Not that I've ever rub mud on a rhino. Yeah.

I would rub mud on a rhino. I would rub mud on a rhino. I don't know why it's so tough to say. It's weird to say, isn't you? Yeah. I don't want to say it anywhere. Rub on a rhino. Say that at home.

If you're driving right now, say it out loud. Why would you want them to do it while they're driving? But I would much prefer. to long lead Martha's new cottage so befitting of who Martha is as a person it's almost like it embodies

who especially once we get some renaos done because we start talking about her backstory and she's the classic rags to riches to rags story yeah and she goes through her past and so you know she married into high society or I guess she was a model right she was a model is her entrance into high society and then they said later which was a little confusing

when Dara was trying to say that everybody was self-made, that her father was a famous entrepreneur at some point or whatever it was. So her backstory, she talks about this. She was found by some photographer or some stylist while essentially she was living on the street. That gave her a leg up. Then when she started doing all of those things,

she got into high society, married back into it. Then she was fully into it. So that's kind of where she started, and it's been an absolute roller coaster ride since. Yeah, because she got to divorced and then she got no money from that. Then she married another dude and got money again. They got divorced.

Same thing happened. So now she's in her independent phase, which I love that we're going to get to witness that. She doesn't want to do the same thing again. She wants to stand her own two feet, so we respect that. But Margo comes over to hang out with her. And this scene that is given to us is almost that of like a cute rom-com. Yeah. with like the wacky friend

because she lives in this little cottage that's like falling apart. She has a fucking bird named Hekate who is just chaos to the point that Margo has to put goggles on because he's like, oh, if he sees your iris he'll peck it out. Like, but he's great.

Yeah, no, he's great. He's so sweet and he just wants to get to know you. He just wants to hang out with you, but put these goggles on. Yeah, but if your people moves way too fast, he just wants to stick his beak in there and see what's going on. He just wants to see what's going on there.

And I get that. I like that he's a curious mind. Sure. Sure. But if I got my eye pecked out by someone's pet bird, I'd be pretty pissed. You know what Hekete is? No. Oh, the goddess of witchcraft from Greek mythology.

Oh, Hecate. So it really works out well. Love that. I thought you meant the bird. I thought you knew what type of bird it was. Oh, no, no. Although I do, I don't know why. There must have been a Hequette at some point that was in,

I feel like the animated Hercules had one. It was a bird and it was a crow. I can't really wrap my head around that. I couldn't find anything online, so it might just be maybe a Mandela effect only on me. But I don't really know exactly what it was. But either way, this is exactly what you want to see. And Margo and Martha are very close. And this was just, it was just such a funny scene because, like you said,

we go from Emma's beautiful estate, albeit with a zoo, to an actual zoo inside of Martha's apartment. Yes. So that was a good little lineup. Great cut through. and you're going to see an episode two if she's getting the sitting room juzed up a little bit.

We'll talk about that in a little while, but that's why I said the house is embodying her because it's this like very quaint but charming little cottage that just needs a little work. Yeah. It needs to, you know, josh it up a little bit. That's all.

So love Martha, love the house, and we get to meet Margot at the house or get to know Margo more. Margo is an actress. Works primarily in London, has not worked in the U.S., to the point where she's like, yeah, I was out in California and people like, oh, pretty much talking to her

like she's a rookie and she's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, check my IMDB. Because I came onto the scene hot. No pun intended, because she was in the first ever, like, full sex movie. Yeah, in England. In the UK, yeah. That's pretty much what I got from.

I guess what she did was she actually, how do I put this in the best way? she finished off her male co-worker on set. That was so much worse. Yeah. Why did you say that? I don't know, man. I don't know.

She helped. She helped. She, she, she, she, she had sex to completion on camera. No, she didn't even have sex. Ah. Alatio. Why are you saying weird fucking things right now? Like, what the hell is about is?

It is really funny, though. And I just love hearing that whole story and then bouncing over to Martha, who's like, Well, I mean, like if you're going to, I think it was actually Kimmy to do it. That was like, yeah, I mean, well, if you're going to do it as an actress, you just kind of get in that mindset. You just want to make sure that everything's right. It makes a lot of sense to me. Yeah.

And then Martha's the one that says, if you do that on camera, you're a porn star, which is fine. Yeah. So again, the commentary I love, like just when we jump. I've never enjoyed confessional so much because I just, everything they say is funny. But they're looking at a house or she's looking at a house with a realtor and nodding. Hill. It's like six grand a night. So I imagine her career has been fairly lucrative. I'm not sure what her husband does yet. Did she tell us? I don't think so. Well, regardless, she's a three kids and a nanny. And they're looking at a new spot in the city. Moving right along, we get Kimmy at home.

We get to meet her kids. That's the other thing, dude. Everyone's backstories are so unique and interesting. Yeah, they really are. That's the one thing that this, this, this. show is not lacking. Not at all. Because when you get to meet Kimmy and her kids, we also get to meet who was a steward, who's the father of the twins, Amadeus and Mimi. They were married for 23 years. Now, they got divorced, I believe.

I guess. She didn't say it specifically. They were separated. They weren't together. And Kimmy wanted kids. Yep. Reached out to Stu. Stu was like, you know what?

I meet too. and they got back together just to have the kids. They got two kids out of it. And then they didn't really talk for four years. Yeah. And she was just raising the kids by herself, I think. That's what it sounds like. And then he came back in the picture.

And in her words, you know, he's fine. Yeah, they're co-parenting, I guess. Sort of. Like, he likes the kids is what I got from it. Yeah, that's pretty much all I got from it. I don't think we're going to see a whole lot of stew. Nope. And that brings us to Dara, who is an architect,

started a company at 29. and you can tell immediately, at least I could. Way too name-droppy and stuff. I was already skeptical. She's like, oh, I know, I'm doing a collab with Venus Williams. She's a dear old friend of mine. I don't believe you. And now I don't believe anything.

That one line, I'm like, oh, you're full of shit. Yeah, she's absolutely full of shit. She actually is the only one on the entire cast that was doing the thing that you would typically see in the beginning of a show. Yeah. So in the first episode, you're going to get everybody kind of going through trying to make themselves seem more important than they actually are. no one else did that. Nope. No one else did that.

Even episode two eventually Micah does name drop that the person that she learned etiquette from also taught etiquette to Princess Diana. So it's like, okay, cool. I like that. Two degrees of separation. That's fine. Dara talking is exactly what you would expect. Like I know this person, this person, this person I've worked on so many cool campaigns. Mind you, we already have heard the rumor that you're a madam.

So this is really funny placement. It's fantastic placement. And the way that she talks, the way that she acts, everything she's doing, it seems. played up like you just said it's a very it's giving premiere episode of a new show but we do find out i guess doesn't really matter i'm not really going to dive in because her her kids stepmother is in the princess beatrice or something like sure yeah again it's not really going to matter but kimmy or sorry micha arrives and again they seem to be friends and she invites her over for her dinner and that's going to set us up for episode two but before we get back to the rest of our recap and

starting with episode two i want to talk to you guys real quick about roboti and maybe you're thinking about starting your GLP1 journey, maybe you have family and friends that have already started it. I know that if I needed GLP1s, I would go right to Roe body because they have you every step of the way. Not only does Roe offer the first GLP1 pill, but they're also there for 100% online care, access to clinically proven FDA-approved medication with a free insurance check, side effect management, dosing support, and more. And that's going to take care of so many different issues. It's going to take care of so much uneasiness. I know it's a daunting thing to go into this journey,

but Roe has you every step of the way. And the Roe Body membership includes access to FDA-approved GLP-1's, unlimited provider messaging, side-effect management, and more, all for just $45 for your first month and $145 a month thereafter. The Roe membership fee excludes the cost of GLP1 medication. Go to row.com slash bravros to see if you're eligible for the new GLP1 pill on Row. That's RO.co slash brav bros to get started on row. Go to row.co slash safety for box warning and full safety information about GLP1

medications. Now we'll get back to the rest of our episode. So as we get into episode two, the important thing that, because we skipped a little bit, so it's just important to know, Micah and Dara had another conversation, and all it does is really paint this picture because Micah's telling her about the garden party and how I stuck up for you and you know we're like sisters and they do it to you they're doing it to me and dar's just got this like carefree i don't give a fuck attitude it's actually worse than that it's not even like a a thank you like oh wow that sucks to here thanks for having my back but i really don't

care it just immediately jumped to why the hell do i care about that it's so ridiculous that i'm not even going to pay attention to it which in a sense i get but the way it's not what she was giving at all. Like, if I just read that right now, you'd be like, okay, yeah, that's actually kind of cool. It's kind of crazy. It's ludicrous. It's a weird rumor. You can just dispel it immediately. But the way she came across, the way she was talking to Micah, I'm like,

I don't trust you. And I don't like the way you're going about this. Between this and next episode, what it gave me is that she went blank. Yeah. Both times. Yeah. Did not know how to respond. It was racking her brain for something to say, either

something witty, something defensive. and was so staunchly caught off guard. She was like, ah, I don't care. I did not know how to handle herself. And I think that's what we're going to see more of an episode too. But, like, even with the, she's like, you want to hear real gossip. And then she's like, one of our best friends is hurt that you're friends with an ex's wife. What?

What? Yeah. I don't know. Mike is like, what are you talking about? Yeah. She's like, well, you asked for gossip. No, I didn't ask for that gossip. You told me that you had hot goss.

I was listening to your hot. Yeah, come on. But that episode ends with Martha and Missy. And Missy is just trying to figure out what to do. Do I tell Dara? Do I tell Micah? Do I bring it up at dinner? What should I do?

And the resounding word from everybody in the cast. And I wonder if this is a cultural thing. I would stay out of it. Yeah. That is none of your business. I actually really do love that too because everybody comes over to Missy. And Missy's really just like when she's at the garden party trying to rack her brain about what she does with this information.

And it's not like crazy information. Like, yes, we are also talking to Dara about all of the things going on with her potentially being a madam. I get it. But it's not that weird to be like, I need to tell somebody. I have to get involved. I get that. And everybody's like, no.

You don't, I mean, if you really want to get involved, I guess, go for it. But I wouldn't do that. And it's the most sound advice that maybe I've seen on Bravo. No, it is. Like, don't touch that one. Yeah. But this episode starts out with Micah. And, you know, we've already run through.

This is where you get to know more about the first etiquette course with a royal family member or whatever. And more about what her husband does. But the big message from this scene is that her friends are her family because she's in London. All she has is her husband who's never home to the point where she says, he tells me he wants to be here. He says it all the time. I'm like, oh, lovely. Anyway. One of those things where he's really working towards the future of being there all the time?

I don't know. Yeah. I never know how to feel about that. I'm just going to take my read from how you feel about it. I don't think she feels great. No. Me? No, I feel about it?

No, not you. No, no. We're in the same boat. I already know that. She has rationalized so many times that now she just has this answer. He's working towards it. Yeah. But it also changed because she's like, he travels every week for work.

I'm like, okay, private equity makes a ton of money. Like, that makes sense. He's in Zurich when he FaceTime. I get it. But when she says he wants. wants to be here. I'm like, oh, so he's never home. It's not during the week. He's just gone. Yeah. Got it. Okay. No. No.

So, the whole thing being, her friends are her family. Darra, Dara is her sister. So to lose that would be tough. Right? Yeah, you would think so. Yeah. Woof. Don't worry. We'll get there. Absolutely woof. She literally says, if I don't have Dara, then who do I have? I was like, oh, no. But we go back to Dara and,

you know, she's setting up the dinner party. Then she FaceTime's Lottie. She's getting the recap of the garden party, and here you have another instance of, I'll say what Papa used to say when she would get brain freeze. Yeah. It's freeze brain. Mm-hmm. Brain.

She doesn't know what to say. And she literally laughed. She goes, ha, ha, ha. I wrote he-ha, he-he-ha. That's what it sounded like. Yeah, pretty much. And then said nothing in return. Yeah.

She just said that you are in charge of a brothel. Mm-hmm. And you are allegedly this high society architect. Do you have a response? How do you feel? Yeah. This was, honestly, she's done a couple of things in these first two episodes that make me think that if she really wanted to be on this show, she would be pretty good on the show. And then she does stuff like this where I'm like, oh, you have no idea how to operate.

This is insane to me because you just had your best friend sit down with you, quote, unquote, best friend, and tell you this is what's going on? You would think you would have a better retort after somebody else brings it up to you. Instead, it's like, oh, yeah, ha ha, yeah, yeah. It's like, what are you trying to say? I don't know. Like at least just say like copy and paste what you just told Mike of the day before. You didn't really tell Mike anything the day before. She told her gossip.

It would be better than him. Give her some hot goss, dude. Yeah, yeah. That would actually be really funny if that was her M.O. And she's turned around. She's like, uh, yeah, that's, I don't know, yeah. You want some hot goss. I heard you had sex with your butler.

You didn't want to hear that. What are you talking about? What? You said you wanted gossip. It's actually a great move. It is a really funny move. Play it the right way. You probably get out of a lot of things.

Yeah, you definitely get out of a lot of things, especially in this capacity. Yeah. But this, I'm glad that she's gone, honestly. And spoiler alert, she leaves the show after this episode. I'm glad she's gone because I was getting so irritated by these comments she was making. She'd go to confessional every time, by the way. So she's trying to explain to us what an important public figure she is, how high society uprochelon she is. By saying things like, well, Micah's more sense of than I.

And, you know, that you formulate more opinions about a public figure. Micah doesn't have that yet. She's not used to... Who the fuck do you think you are? I have no idea. Because your castmates have also made it pretty clear. Like, you're not that big of a deal. No.

Like, no one said like, oh my God. She's an architect to the stars. She built the fucking Wembley Stadium or like anything like that. We don't know you. We don't know what you do at all. In fact, we're actually talking about something that you might be doing versus what you actually are doing. Exactly.

And everybody else has had a bunch of different moments where we talk about what they actually do or what they don't do. For you, it's like, ah, I don't know what she does on a day-to-day operation, but she might. Two businesses and one's an architect? I guess, yeah, but she didn't go into the second business. Yeah, because you can't on Cam. You're getting trouble. Yeah, allegedly.

She realized that right away. Yeah, she figured that up pretty damn quick, but it just, it's, it drove me nuts. Because, again, I don't know who you're trying to convince that you're a big deal. You? Yeah. Because we don't believe you. People that are this big of a deal. don't talk like you.

Plus, look at your castmates. Yes. I mean, we've already gone through the gauntlet. We're now kind of impervious to whatever you might be unless the actual, like, Queen Regent, I don't know what the hell. What do we call Camille at this point? Oh. Because they're not married.

I don't know. I don't know titles, dude. I have no idea how that works. But, yeah, I mean. We need a flow chart of titles. Yeah. At this point, anything less than an actual royal family member would not surprise me. Me neither.

So I don't care if you're an architect. It doesn't mean anything to me. No, Dara, Dara. Moving right along, we go to get tea with Mark Francis and Emma, so we get to meet Emma a little bit more and their backstory. They met in Santropay 14 years ago, and they're inseparable to the point that Mark is actually Emma's youngest son's godfather. So they're actually very close. Kimmy arrives and just the banter between these three. And I think this is going to be a lot of the ladies in the group, which I'm very much looking forward to.

It's so quick. It's witty. It's funny. They don't get stuck on bullshit. Like, the madam thing becomes a running joke. And you can tell Emma's a little like, eh, this is a little, you know, a little, what's the word? Taboo. Like, we shouldn't be talking.

And Kimmy's like, fuck that. Like making jokes. Grow up. Mark, with his amazing laugh, is laughing at everything. It's just a good vibe at the table. Yeah. Yeah. You can tell very quickly that we're not going to get bogged down by stupid shit on this show.

Exactly. But Mark lets us know that he has a house in Florence, and this goes back to the madam thing. Now you have people looking for evidence and combing through conversations to try to find little things. And he brings up the fact that he has a house in Florence. And when he mentioned that to Dara, she was like, oh, I was just in a wedding in Italy or vice versa. It doesn't really matter what the setup was. And Mark was like, oh, awesome. What part of Florence or Tuscany?

it was because Florence isn't duskany. I don't know. What? Yeah, she did the, uh, the, the, I'm so important that my assistant has an assistant. But you don't know where you went? No, that's insane to me. That's not a thing. It was also now we've gotten to the point where she had already gone.

Like she missed the garden party because she was at that event. She had a conversation with somebody prior to that and didn't know where she was going. She came back and still doesn't know where she was. Yeah. That's insane to me. I don't believe you. No. No, I don't believe that you were there.

Correct. We didn't get any pictures. Right. Where's the pickies? Where's the pics? Show me some evidence. It's too high class. Yeah, that's true.

Yeah. Check your phones at the door. But in learning about that house in Florence, we learned that Mark's father lives near Florence, and he bought this house and hopes to reconnect with his father. I guess they had a pretty tough relationship throughout their entire lives. And he's under the thought now that, you know what? I don't want to wait until it's too late. So I'm going to try to garnish whatever friendship or relationship I can add with my father at this point before it's too late,

which I respect. And I'm actually interested in that storyline if we're going to get to go to Florence, we're going to meet dad because he says his health is deteriorating pretty quickly. So we don't really know much more than that. Yeah, I assume we're going to get some sort of story arc where he has like a coming together with his dad. And they talk more about all the things that they missed because what did you say? It's like 15 years or something that it's been like like this. I think more.

Maybe even more. Yes. I'm assuming by some point we'll get like a coming together of the two of them. It'll be highly emotional. Yeah, I hope it is. I hope I cry. You will. Ving you cross.

I mean, it doesn't take much. No, we get to Lottie's baby photo shoot. She's getting some picks before they have the baby, Joshua. Is he one of those where it's not Josh? It's Joshua. It's definitely Joshua. I think so too, for sure. Joshua joins, and this is where we get the back story.

They met at the box, you know. We were hanging out for 10 minutes next thing. I know we've been in the basement snogging for two hours. I love snogging. That word is so good. It's a good word. They got engaged, what was it, eight weeks later, and they were married within the year. Now, there are three years in with a baby on the way.

So they seem to get along really well. We haven't seen like behind the scenes at all, but they seem to vibe. So I'm more just saying that because a lot of times you get these these shotgun weddings. I know it's not actually a shotgun wedding because now they're having the baby. No, it's, yeah, this seems very mutual. Yeah. Yeah. But usually you get these where it's like, yeah, we met after a week.

We were engaged. We got married in a month. And then you get a 90-day fiancé. Right. Pretty much. You get Gigi from the valley. Yes. Yes.

That's exactly what you get. But we're not getting that with these. No. These two love each other. For now? Yeah. And I also love that she goes into how she was waiting for her. her pregnancy to actually pop

before she was going to do the fix. She's like, I'm just going to, pasta. I'm going to put down some pasta. If you say that with a different inflection, it doesn't sound British either. It just sounds like. What is that? Pasta.

Some pasta. Pasta. I don't know. It's kind of, it's New York if New York wasn't very Italian. Okay. It's like what you would imagine if there was no Italian influence in New York whatsoever. Okay. It's a New York accent with that.

All right. The fuck with that. But let's get back to Martha's cottage. That's all I really care about. And, you know, she's going through the British Biscuit Tin, which we find out. Do you know what those are for guys to keep the rats out? Yeah. I knew it.

That's exactly what it's always been. Now, you might be familiar with sewing kits inside of the British Biscuit tin. British Biscuit tin. Yeah, that's a tough one to do, too. Are they always British? Because, like, I can see the sewing box in my head. I would imagine so, yeah. I just know that old-ass box of cookies.

Yeah. Yeah. British origins. Many times. Oh, yeah. In high hopes and fat. Which I don't know why I have high hopes either. The cookies are never good.

No, no, the cookies are kind of rough, to be honest. Yeah. Dust with like a little bit, you might get one that has a little bit of a fruit filling, quote of a little jelly. Just hanging on by a thread. And then it gets really chewy when they're stale. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you can't even like break them into pieces.

It's just one. It's like gum. It's like a cookie gum. Yeah. Fun way. Not into it. Preferer sewing. Yeah, me too.

But anyway. Martha's getting some work. One of her friends is an interior designer, so we find out that she's going to get the sitting room, joshed up a little bit. We got 2.5K max to spend on this whole thing. But this just gives us more about Martha's backstory. It's more of the, you know, she's relied on men. She's had these high society lifestyles. She's also had the opposite.

She was homeless at one point. But she's letting us at home know that she's going to do it on her own this time. Yeah. You know what? You're off to a great start, Martha. Yeah. She's doing a great job. Now, that quickly goes away with the $300 that she pays a random man, but she's got to have a learning curve.

She'll figure it out. So funny and so not surprising. No. She met a man in the park who she told about her house and needed it painted. And the guys, I do that. Wire me $300 right now, and I'll figure it out for you. But the best part is when she tells, I believe it's Margo that she's talking to about that. And when she tells her, she's like, oh, you pay for the paint.

No. No. What do you pay? I don't know. Other things? You know, the other stuff. Fuck. Equipment?

Like, I don't know what's going on. I believe I've been had. But as we know, Missy's going through it, trying to figure out what to do about this Dara, Micah situation. So she invites Rue over, who is her therapist. And she goes through her backstory a little bit more about why she is the way she is, how she got to where she is. she was with some dude so she got two kids with two different dads she was with one guy i believe it's her most recent ex that was just awful to her would say things like oh men are looking at you it's because of you it's what you're wearing you're doing this because you're attractive so it's

your fault which is probably one of my least favorite things in the world but she's been through it so you know she's got some trust issue she's trying to get her life back to normal because she's She felt like she was playing victim for too long because of her situation. And she doesn't want to go into victim mode. Then she's at the bottom of a hole. And then she realized her ex was like her dad. There's a lot of shit that Missy's trying to deal with right here. Yeah.

And on top of all of that, she has to figure out a way to tell the rest of the group or rather just tell Micah. That's not a good friend. Or tell Darra to tell Micah. Yeah. That's what she's wrestling with. That's what she's really wrestling with. Which is just so funny because you can see, again, we've checked in with the rest of the group, how they feel about it.

They're like, I don't get involved. You don't want to deal with any of this. But if you do get involved, we'll have your back. Which will make sure that you're okay. But also don't get involved. She's like, you know what, fuck that. Normally, I wouldn't get involved. The old Missy is not getting involved.

But I'm the new and improved Missy. And this isn't sitting well with me. I'm going to go right to town. I'm going to go right to Dara. We love that. We love New Missy. We don't know old Missy, but we love new Missy. Certainly don't.

Because this is what we need. You know, it's a great. note for a new bravo leb like yeah no take that shit to her hell yeah go question her in front of the whole group fuck it the fact that she did because we do a quick one off with with margot and pretty much the only funny thing from that other than the house hunting for 50,000 dollars a month uh is that she got sober because of a weekend with martha yeah not because it was like this horrible thing happened not because, you know, she ended up in the hospital. She could not hang with Martha to the point where when she was done the weekend or weak,

she felt so full of alcohol that she was sweating vodka and swore off drinking. It was one of those where you wake up really hung over. Like, I'm never drinking again. She stuck to it. She actually did it. I actually love that. Good for her. Yeah, that's good fortitude.

Yeah, it's pretty impressive. Now dinner at Dara's on the way there. Missy's still running through it. I don't know what to do about this whole thing. I hope Dara apologizes. Kimmy's still like, yeah, no, don't. You shouldn't do this. Just don't get involved.

Yeah, everyone says it. Everybody wants her to not get involved. We at home obviously want her to get involved. And at the dinner, you know, we're just doing our friendly helloes. Everyone's meeting everybody. Dara meets Margo for the first time. And Margot's impression of her is, oh, she's a madam. Mm-hmm.

Because of how diplomatic she was. That's like a prerequisite for being a madam. Yeah. She's just immediately kissing her ass, talking about all the people they have in common, all the nice things that she's heard about her. It's like, ah, you know what? I'm going to sniff right through this. This is bullshit.

You're bullshit. Yeah, I love the jump to, oh, you're a madam. Instead of just like, oh, you realize that all of us have been talking about you and you're trying to set off on the right foot with the first time that we're meeting, which is when I was thinking. It's like, no, no, I'm going to take a step further. It's not that. It's that you're a madam.

Yeah, you run up. You do at night. You're not fooling anyone, lady. But she gives like a toast to her being Dara. And this might have been my favorite part of the episode, first two episodes, which is such a subtle thing. But she gives this speech and she's like, you know, we're all self-made women here and we support one another. Now, the irony in that sentence, given what she was saying about Micah is very funny and very potent. But the better part is Kimmy going to a confessional being like,

what the fuck is she talking about? Like, I'm not an entrepreneur at all. I haven't done anything. And Mark is like, I'm, it's like, oh, I didn't know. I was such a self-made woman. Like, oh, good for me. Great. Two great one-offs right there.

And I think that what it does for me, like when I see something like that, I know it's not like a serious moment. But when you see people deviating from somebody trying to play up in front of the camera, Dara in that moment is trying to develop her image of what it's going to be on this show. Yes. I am a strong woman that's. supports other women. I run a big business. I'm super important and I'm supportive. That's what she's trying to do with the speech. I think she's also trying to, like, solidify herself in the group as that

person. So she thinks that this show is going to circle around her, which is probably what she's used to and then she's been getting away for her for so long. But she doesn't realize the way that this show is structured. We've already met all these people. We're already in love with most of them. And then we met you and we already heard things about you. We're going to give you a fair shake. but you immediately start off on the wrong foot with us. And then I got the vibe from her as soon as we sit down to this dinner that she thinks she's going to be the central figure of the show. Like that's how like deluded she is into thinking she's so important.

She's like, oh, yeah, I'm so happy to have all of you here. Let me have a big speech moment. Little does she know they're undermining her at every turn every time she's saying something, which was actually, it was honestly, it was needed at that point. No, it was, and it made for a really good scene. And it also shows you what this cast is capable of. what they're willing to do and say. And that looks very bright for the future because of how many little quips you get here and there.

They're literally talking at the table, making jokes as Dara's trying to talk. Dara's friend jumps in. I don't know why. Mora. Mora. I don't know what the fuck you're doing. Moira? Moira.

Who cares? Why are you talking? It was so funny, too. Because, again, where we are right now is the friendship between Dara and Micah is just not great. And you wouldn't see, and Micah coming to Dara saying, I had your back the whole time. Dara doesn't give a fuck. No, not at all. And here we have an opportunity where this random woman who's friends with her has her back and she's just like slinks into the corner, looks around.

Nobody's really going that hard on her. They're just discussing what just happened. I feel like she should be in the room for this. Why did you guys wait for her to leave the room? That's bad taste. That's poor. Shut up. Who are you?

Missy, I love. She just gets so rattled with it. it so quickly. She's like, I don't know what to do. I just brought all of this up. She clearly didn't have a reaction to it. I'm looking over a Micah who's just completely quiet. You guys all have my back, thankfully, I got to figure this whole thing out. And then when she's confronted with that, she's like, who the fuck are you? It's great. What are we doing here? So good. And I'm glad that it played out the way it did because we got that side of Missy this early on. Yeah. Again, very bright for the future. Because in a moment, like, obviously, we jumped the gun a little bit.

but she tells the table what happened. She asks Dara at the table, which I love that you did it in front of everybody. Dara, again, panic, throttle. I just want to have a really nice dinner. Well, you can't, Dara, until you address this awful things that you said about your quote-unquote best friend. Were they awful in what you said no, but apparently your relationship was 24 years old and you completely undermined it with these comments. So yeah, it was a pretty horrible thing to say.

Address that. and other people at the table as Dar is trying to change the subject and turn everybody else away, they're sitting there having individual conversations about what's going on. Yeah. It's great. Mark's like, no, say that. Say that. No, no, no.

Like they're making jokes. It's so good. And then when you have Missy fed up, she leaves the table, trying to figure out what to do, comes back to the table. Fucking Moira pops up trying to give her two cents. And that's all we needed to set Missy down this path that I hope she never leaves because it's new Missy. and she's like tie him out. Fuck you, random lady in a pink dress. I don't know you.

You're not part of this conversation. And no, we're not waiting for her to come back. I just told you the whole fucking story. Oh, it was good. Yeah, no, it was absolutely perfect. And Missy conducted it perfectly too because she got so fed up that she had to ask her point blank, which is the only way to get through to somebody like that. And she vehemently denies it.

I did not say that. Roll the tape. Producers. Hot mic moment five minutes ago. Yep. I did say all of those things. As you're quitting the show. I did say all of those things

I can't handle any of this shit No, now you're calling me a liar And then Missy's getting pissed off Everybody else is looking around the table Cracking jokes going back and forth Like this is fucking insane Micah quiet as hell Silent

And then in the interim at some point goes over to Darage She's like hey Can we just like go walk away and like talk about something right? No, not right now That was maybe some other time Maybe another time we can go do all those things But it's okay I love you Okay

No we find out that she did actually say all of those things and in the midst of all of this, a quit. You know what? I just don't think this is the right time for me. This TV show is not going to work for me. I'm not going to do it. What a fourth wall break at the end and then just straight up quitting. This is not the Tamara quitting every season on OC.

This is not any other housewife walking away from a party. Like, I can't deal with this shit. This was just a straight up. Yeah, I'm gone. I'm not doing this. And by the way, this is not going to be a bait and switch because somebody was on, watch what happens live the other night. I think it was Micah.

and she said, yeah, I haven't really spoken to Dara since. So, oh. That's what we want to see. If you're going to quit, then get the fuck off. It was just really funny because of this image she had been trying so desperately to give in her few scenes on this show. The way that she talks about herself, the way she wants other people to talk about her, the dismissiveness, the holier than now knows up at Micah, who, by the way, probably has way more money and class than you do. to watch all of that and then watch this facade, this insecure, mean little bully, just panic and go, I'm going to say that, you know, this isn't for me, but in all actuality, I can't handle this.

You guys are exposing my insecurities and the things that I'm lying about. And whether that's being a madam or not, what they're doing is exposing your fake life. Yeah. I loved it. Yeah. It was perfect. But let's see what the people are saying out here. Yeah, cut, cut, cut, cut.

The cut cut, cut, cut was fantastic. She yelled cut. It's fantastic. It's fantastic. You're a movie set, dude. I know, it's unbelievable. First up here from Blackbeard 601. What a great reboot.

The cast puts it all out there. Is anybody surprised that there left? I'm surprised that it happened so quickly. I am too. I think we would have gotten there regardless based on what we saw. We would have been in episode seven going, why is she still on the show? Yeah, absolutely. from 153.

Have you seen Mark Francis go to a death metal gig? It's on YouTube and it's so endearing. I need to watch that. I'll watch anything with him. I will watch this as soon as we're done recording this. Mark Francis. That is perfect. Absolutely.

I agree. I agree. Mark Francis. Martha. Fuck, Kimmy. Lottie. They're all so good. They are really good.

From Fortunet. Is this the last that we see of Dara? And do we think she's a madam? Now, I will say it's probably the last that we see her on Bravo, of course. Is it the last that we see of her in, like, tabloids or anything else? Maybe not. That's the weird thing that I was talking about at the beginning of the episode. The fact that she did two episodes and she was on here and people are talking about the fact that she left so, like, ridiculously,

they're probably going to dig a little deeper. We might see some things out there online about what she's doing, but there's also the chance that she just completely wraps everything up and we never see her again. Yeah, one of three things will happen. One, people are going to dig, and it's going to come. come up in the next two weeks. Two, it will go away because she wasn't all long enough or three, and I hope it's this one, because these are always fun.

Yeah. In five years, some random person's going to post a screenshot on Twitter and be like, remember Dara, here's a picture of her at her brothel. And everyone's like, oh, my God. Yeah, no, I really hope that one happens. Uh, from Ryan Stomeman 83, who's your favorite?

There is something about Martha. Unique, lover. Ryan Stomeman finally on our side. We agree with Ryan Stomeman. and finally. It's been so long. And now... Hell must have frozen over or...

Or we're on the wrong side of history finally. I like to think that the world is probably ending before I would say we're on the wrong side of history. Well, we guess we'll have to figure that one out. Rachel Mickelis, why are there so many shows on Bravo right now? They need to spread them out a bit. I kind of agree. I kind of agree to. I do think, and Seale and I talked about this, when we get to like the summer season,

so many people just really aren't watching and they have so much money going into Love Island every summer that it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to have those shows. But I agree, especially a show like this, like, yeah, maybe it doesn't need to come out now. I'm still really enjoying it. Maybe it can come out in June, give us something to watch, but it is what it is.

Yeah, and I want this show to do really well. And if you drop it in June, people aren't going to watch it. Numbers aren't going to be what they should be. Yeah. Given the first two episodes, I want this show on my TV for the next 10 years. Yeah.

So, yeah, I'm okay with it. uh, from the jewelster is Martha's house safe to live in with the mold and bird shit? Probably not. Probably not. But that doesn't matter.

Yeah. That doesn't really matter. And, uh, uh, we'll end with this one from makeup LAB. So what's the verdict? Is Dara a madam? Let's just say it once and for all.

I don't know if she's a madam, but allegedly, allegedly leaning that way. Madamesque. Madame mask. Sure. In some capacity, yeah, or maybe at one point in her life, perhaps, allegedly. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. But we're not going to find out, and I'm okay with that, honestly. Correct. She was the only bummer of this entire show. And she actually contributed. Like, it wasn't like she brought the show down by any means.

It gave us some really great talking points. It gave them a great storyline to kick the show off. Yeah. So I will forever be indebted to Dara for that. But, yeah, I'm not going to miss her at all. Yeah. I agree. We'll see where the show goes.

I mean, we haven't had a hot start like this. Shit. Southern hospitality maybe. Yeah. That premiere was the only one I could think of where I was this excited afterwards. Yeah, I agree with that. And we were right about that one. Mm-hmm.

Pay attention, guys. Come on. Don't be those people. Don't be the season four Southern hospitality people. They're jumping in now. They're talking like they've been there since the conception of the show. Only we were. We were.

We were shouting the shit from the rooftops. Yep. That show had like 50,000 views the first season. Yeah. We were 40,000 of them. Yep. But anyway, jump in on this show, ASAP, and that's all I got. You got anything else?

Nope. That's our show. Brabros are out of here. Cheerio. Ta-ta. The world of Sonic the Hedgehog has been thrust into a not-so-dark, not-so-stormy, hard-boiled detective story that probably nobody saw coming. Follow Sonic and the Intrepid Chaotic's detective agency

as they take on their biggest case yet. This high-flying action-packed adventure will take them across the world, fighting for every clodig and fire. It's one heck of a tale, which is good, because this story might be the only thing that can save their lives. Well, if that's all, I...

you just dispose of you. Wait, what? All will be revealed in. Sonic the Hedgehog presents the Chaotics Case Files. Listen now, wherever you get your podcasts. When the Chaotics are on the cake. Oh, the Regency era. You might know it as the time when Bridgeton takes place

or the time when Jane Austen wrote her books. But the Regency era was also an explosive time of social change, sex scandals, and maybe the worst king in British history. And on the Vulgar History podcast, we're going to be looking at the balls, the gowns, and all the scandal of the Regency era. Vulgar history is a women's history podcast,

and our Regency era series will be focusing on the most rebellious women of this time. That includes Jane Austen herself, who is maybe more radical than you might have thought. We'll also be talking about queer icons like Anne Lister, scientists like Mary Anning and Ada Lovelace, as well as other scandalous actresses, royal mistresses, rebellious princesses,

and other lesser-known figures who made history happen in England in the Regency era. Listen to Vulgar History, wherever you get podcasts.
