Starting point is 00:00:00 Tommy really showed his teeth today. He's getting right back right back in the crosshairs. I'm giving up on just seeing him for who he is and just accepting it because he's not on the show. You should come back on the show and you do what you did today. No. 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...
Starting point is 00:00:19 I don't need the spotlight. I shine just fine. Hi, I'm karma. And yes, I am a bit. Brov Bros. Good evening, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Brov Bros. Your favorite podcast from The Bros.
Starting point is 00:00:38 For everybody, for whoever wants to listen, I'm your co-host, Steele Russell, joined as always by the Valley Goots Edition. What's up, dude? I like that. I really like that. I do name it every time that I put up questions. I name it something different because I've completely diluted myself with the thinking that it's called something completely different than what it is.
Starting point is 00:00:59 It's Valley person style. Yeah, it's usually Shaw's Persian version, something along those lines. It might be one of the most enjoyable shows on Bravo, though. It's top two right now, for me at least, because Summer House is very enjoyable to watch. But I think it knocks Southern Charm out of that spot. It's such an easy watch, and there's so much to go off of for all the different scenes. There's always something going on and always something funny that happens, which is always going to get me going. No, I agree.
Starting point is 00:01:27 It's such an easy watch, but not in the way that like a below-ditch. deck is where you're kind of like, you're paying attention, but you're not locked in. This has the, the pull of like a Southern charm or a summer house, but it's watchability is that of like a below deck. It's just a great show. And that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:01:48 Like, don't let my aversion to Sky make you guys think that I'm not having a blast watching this. I was just so taken aback by, and I don't know why, I mean, she hasn't shown to do anything else. but it was just crazy. It's crazy to watch, like, the rationalization of her own behavior and the complete vilification of anybody else that that has an issue with her. But overall, I mean, this show, and that's the other thing before we continue is I want her on the show.
Starting point is 00:02:19 I don't get it twisted. I need her on the show. But she's not a likable person. Even Bomsy doesn't like her. No, Bobsy doesn't. I actually really like Bomsey in this episode a lot because he finally hit his breaking point with her. But for Sky, I think I can't tell if it's because she's so delusional and so in her own little world that I actually find it very enjoyable and I think it's very funny. Or if it's because of the rest of the cast, I think because the rest of the cast understands what's going on and they're still trying in such a funny way to really break through into different aspects of what's going on with Sky and how she's reacting to things.
Starting point is 00:02:55 I think it makes it more enjoyable. And I think that she's almost like just integral to the show almost. And it's very interesting to me. So it doesn't really bother me. It doesn't really rub me the wrong way. Because again, and I've said this a million times on this show, when it comes to reality TV, I barely look at these people like they're real people. I think they're just there solely for my entertainment.
Starting point is 00:03:16 So it's not like I'm going to have an interaction with Sky where I'm actually going to be upset and it's going to affect my life. I just kind of have her out there in a realm of she's not a real person. Why am I really affected by this? I don't really care what's going on with her or with her life. It's really just the way the rest of the cast kind of rallies behind figuring out what's going on with her in a good way. Bomsy, obviously, showing his teeth today. And then the rest of it's like, okay, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Let's just kind of see what happens because I don't think it's ever going to get to a point where it's really going to bother me. So I think I'm still enjoying it. That's fair. Yeah, it bothers me, but not in a way where it's like, oh, get this off my screen. It's more like, wow, how are there people like this? It's crazy to me that people act this way. But let's jump in because we start out with Sky and Tannen and they're at the ambush lunch with RJ who promptly leaves the table after taking their purses because they can't leave without their purses. So I'm going to go over to the bar, hit on the bartender while you two figure this shit out.
Starting point is 00:04:12 And they start to discuss the party, obviously. And I didn't even see this coming. That's where I'm at with this whole thing. guys like, you know, really upset because I really wanted you to get my back and you didn't. I was like, oh, my God. I was like, that's even something that we're going to discuss. Like, you're in the wrong. And I thought you knew that you were in the wrong, at least a little bit.
Starting point is 00:04:35 But no, she really truly doesn't. And then she tries to blame Greg for everything. And it's like, Greg didn't start that. Reza started. She's like, no, it was Greg. And she is the type of person that if she believes it to be true, it is the gospel. and thou must bendeth thy knee to your leader. As it should be, honestly.
Starting point is 00:04:58 I didn't see this coming either. It's not like I really could have warped my mind into thinking that this is how she was going to approach this. I honestly, after what we've heard about Sky and when we talked to Tan and about their relationship and friendship over the years, I did think that having RJ come in and put the two of them together, I was worried that he was just downright leaving. Like, well, they're not going to stay. They're not going to continue to talk. It's just going to be a very short conversation, which it also. ultimately was a pretty short conversation.
Starting point is 00:05:23 But going into it, I thought all we really needed was someone to set the two of them up. And then Sky would be like, okay, either agree to disagree and we can move forward or I'll take some responsibility in the things that I said and I got heated for all the wrong reasons and I'm sorry. And then she would apologize to Tannen. I really did think it was going to go that way just based off of the very little information that we had so far. And I should have really just reflected more on what Sky has been saying than what other people have been saying. saying about how Sky approaches things. And that was my fault. It's okay, though, because I was thoroughly entertained by her delusion.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Going into this and blaming Greg off the bat was fucking hilarious. Going into this. And the other part of it was Reza was very adamant about this whole thing. Reza was very vocal about the whole thing. It almost seems like he skated by. She wasn't even blaming him for any of this stuff. That was crazy to me, too, because he got up and was laughing at you right in your face for saying, yeah, I wasn't bored with a silver spoon in my mouth.
Starting point is 00:06:21 but I still want to go to Beverly Hills, the valley, po, pooh, pooh. He was taken aback. Greg was offended because he lives in and lived in the valley. He's OG Valley for life. He's OG Valley for Life. That was a reasonable thing to actually get upset about.
Starting point is 00:06:35 It's still very funny to me that Tanin saw that as him taking her back. He was taking the valleys back. But either way, you know, whatever works for you guys is what's going to work. But I didn't really see this level of her spitting it back into Tannin's the real villain here because she didn't take her back. There was no back to take, honestly, because no one knew where that conversation was going to go.
Starting point is 00:06:56 No, and you're also getting it from all angles. And you're getting it from Greg, too. So Tannin's like going to jump in and defend you against Greg. That makes no sense. And Tannen wasn't, if we go back and watch, which we've seen a lot of clips we played, obviously. If you go back and watch, Tannin doesn't really do anything. The only time that she really chimes in is when Sky makes that weird comment about the discount. She's like, well, what does that have to do with anything?
Starting point is 00:07:18 Tannen, by not speaking up, was actually getting your back because she has ammo to throw at you. She decided not to jump in with everybody else and just kind of sat there. I don't know what you're expecting, Sky. None of these people are going to defend you because you're not nice to any of them. Even your husband didn't defend you because you're not nice to them. So when you get people with this level of delusion, they are thoroughly entertaining. I agree. But you know me, I have to understand how they work.
Starting point is 00:07:46 So I'm sitting here trying to figure this whole thing. out and I don't have a read. I really don't get it. And it's it's frustrating in a funny way because yeah as you watch her walk through this whole thing and everything she says just kind of piles on to the crazy. She's like you know you I think that Tannen is still trying and I think this is probably just because she's been in this role for so long. She's still trying to smooth it over. She's still the one overextending to try to make this go away. And she's like, you know, I think that the problem is the approach. It's how you approach the whole thing that rubs people the wrong way because you act like you're above them, like they're beneath you. Well, I am.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Oh, they don't act classy. They all want to pretend that they want to be classy, but they, there, no one's acting classy and it's beneath me. I don't want to look down. This is the best line. I don't want to look down on people, but sometimes you have no choice. Okay. What? What? That's awesome, by the way. It's great. It's phenomenal. a tattoo of it. But like, no. And also, you don't act classy. You either have class or you don't. And by the way, I'm a private chef. I've cooked for some very ritsy people. They say a lot of fucked up shit. Like, that's not a, that's not indicative of class or not. And that goes back to the wealth whispers, money talks thing. She has this idea in her head of what being classy is,
Starting point is 00:09:14 what, what she wants to portray. Class means. that you're not an asshole to all your friends. That's definitely a stipulation to be classy, is to not be a dick. So, yeah, I think you're very classy personally. I think you fit right in with this group, honestly. She really does fit right in with the group. And I do think that's why the group's approach is very funny, too,
Starting point is 00:09:35 because they're not immediately writing her off and saying, well, we don't want to hang out with her. Her level of crazy kind of matches in very different ways to other people in the group. So like it or not, you are part of this group. And they are your friends. they're probably the closest people that you can get to. I love going back and revisiting this so many times because we keep getting clips that I missed the first time around
Starting point is 00:09:56 because it was such chaos with everybody kind of yelling and shouting and screaming and laughing most of the time at what Sky was saying. There's certain things that you miss. And when you flash over to when we're talking about Tannen not having her back, you flash over to Bombsy when they're talking about moving to Beverly Hills. He was all for it. So in Bombsie's mind, he's talking about, wow,
Starting point is 00:10:18 This might be a good approach to get Sky to realize we don't need to move to Beverly Hills. This is a good conversation to have right now, guys. Thanks for your backup. No, that wasn't the intent of the conversation, by the way. He really thought that's what it was. And I think now trying to understand why he didn't jump in, I think that might be why, because he thought it was a completely different conversation. And it turned on a dime.
Starting point is 00:10:37 And he was not expecting it. And he was just like, I don't know what to do with any of this. But for Tannen, I agree with you. I think that she's trying to take every avenue possible to understand her friend and where she's coming from so that she can get back to where it is. Now, obviously, we've already had both of them now say, it's never going to be back to the friendship level that it was before, because clearly this is what it was.
Starting point is 00:10:57 So it's a bit of a wake up call for Tannen. And I'm okay with that too, because we do need something like that to happen in the show where you start off episode one. We don't know either of you, but you guys are really close friends that travel all the time. By episode seven, you guys are already out. And that's great.
Starting point is 00:11:10 I love that because you guys will make up at some point. You'll realize, oh, wow, we had this friendship. What happens? you'll go back to it again and then it might start the whole thing over again, which is, you know, it's a cornerstone of these shows. Yeah, absolutely. You know they're going to reconcile eventually. As far as when that's going to happen, I do not know.
Starting point is 00:11:27 And we're still in the downtrend right now that we haven't even fallen apart entirely yet. I think there's one more conversation where it's going to blow up or they're going to reconnect. It's going to go one way or the other. I'm not sure which one it is yet. The only way I see them reconciling anytime soon is if a third party gets involved. involved and talked some sense into sky, but she's made it pretty clear that nobody can talk sense into sky because sky is always right. So I don't, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:55 I don't know how they're going to try to rectify this whole thing. But as they continue talking through all the shit, we get to the serum, sky goes first again. You talked behind my bat. Wait, you rubbed her stuff on your dog. That's, that's the lowest bar, by the way. because I actually still don't really have much of a problem with wiping it on the dog. She's explained that she loves the dog. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
Starting point is 00:12:24 I actually don't find it that disrespectful. It's objectively disrespectful to rub it on the dog. I truly don't even think it is because she's explained how much she loves her dogs. Oh my God. You're following this guy's shit. I actually don't have a problem with it. I truly don't. This isn't even a bit.
Starting point is 00:12:38 I don't think it was that big of a deal. I think it got blown up and I think Reza thought it was really funny and then turned it into the most disrespectful thing ever. And again, you know, we do have a bit of a culture conversation a little bit later in this. Maybe there is something that I'm missing out of. Maybe it is really disrespectful in their Persian culture. But for me- It's disrespectful across the board.
Starting point is 00:12:56 I don't. I really don't think it is. I honestly don't. I think it's like, oh, yeah, this smells really good. I actually want my dog to smell this good. I love my dogs. I wouldn't put any bad serum on my dogs. I'm okay with that.
Starting point is 00:13:06 I really don't think it was that disrespectful. It was, though. I think it has blown up into this beautiful, unbelievable thing. and I love every second of it. But truly, if you had to ask me, I don't think it's that big of the deal. If I gave you something, okay,
Starting point is 00:13:21 something that I had worked on, what she's telling Tannen is this is not worth my time or skin. I put it on an animal. It's disrespectful. It could be any product. It is. She didn't rub it in.
Starting point is 00:13:34 She went like this and she literally, in the confessional goes, I'm not putting that on my skin and then put it on the dog. It's implying that this is not good enough for me. that she said that right then and there. Yeah. It's not like yet.
Starting point is 00:13:46 I can't wait for them to watch it back. When it does come to light, yeah, the watchback, the reunion is going to be unbelievable because a lot of our confessions are very funny. They say a lot of shit about each other and their confessions. And then we go back to the scene and they're saving face in the most beautiful way. This one's going to be fucking hilarious when it gets to the reunion because we're going to spend 10 minutes on this. And I already know it.
Starting point is 00:14:05 And it's going to be one of the more funnier conversations. Yeah, the watchback's going to be fantastic for that exact reason. you know, Bomsey's going to get fucking skewered. He says some fucked up stuff about Sky in his confessional. But I don't think he recognizes that he's doing it. I think he's just like, I'm stating a fact right now. Like, yeah, Sky's always been self-centered. Can't wait to see how that one lands.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Do you think the show is making her more intolerable? Like, it's empowering her to be more of whatever this version is of herself. Or do you think that this is how it's been and now because they're around each other so often? And Bomsey's talking to the other guys and they have more of a stronger her vocal opinion because it's a show that now he's understanding and he's getting a little bit more upset about it and now that's what's coming out at. I can't really get a read on that. I don't know if this is how she's always been and Bombsy's always had these feelings,
Starting point is 00:14:54 but he's never been able to vocalize or if it's because of the show that she's just so much more of a monster and now he's like, I can't deal with this. It's probably somewhere in the middle of that. Tannin's made it clear. That's a cop. Res is made it clear. I just mean like they've both made it pretty clear that she's been this way for. a long time.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Yeah. I would imagine it's a two part with her being on the show. One, which could be a disaster for everybody on the show, but great for us at home. The cameras and the limelight could be emboldening her to think like, oh, I am better than everybody. I'm on TV now. So like the bright lights could be getting to her head a little bit. And the other side of it is when you're on these shows, everything gets amplified, right?
Starting point is 00:15:37 So, yeah, of course, conversations that they probably would not. have had in front of Bomsey or in front of Sky, they're probably now having in front of them to push the narrative a little bit more. If I had to guess, all of these conversations have probably happened before behind closed doors and behind their back. Now it's just happening in front of them. Yeah, I think that's what it is. I think it's more things are coming to light because more people are opinionated about
Starting point is 00:16:02 what Sky is doing because it makes sense for the show to talk about these things. Going to confessionals, it makes more sense for the show to talk about these things. but Bombsies maybe not proving to all of that. So now it's kind of just kind of popping up. And I think it's a very funny thing too because, and I don't, I'm not being agist, but he is an older gentleman. So his tolerance is probably pretty low. And now that these things are popping off,
Starting point is 00:16:25 he's as we see later in the episode, he just can't contain himself. Yeah, I don't know. It's going to be fun to watch, but. Hi, I'm Brian Lucci, a former Chicago cop.

Nothing's accomplished at all. Sky continues to blame everything on Tannen. It's all her fault. And, you know, I'm in a very tough spot. Yeah, of your own doing, but whatever. And she leaves it in a
Starting point is 00:18:20 confessional with nothing can justify that she didn't speak and stand up for me. Okay. But the one good thing that came out of this is that Tannen, and we talked about a little bit, has quite clearly drawn a boundary. It's like, all right, well, you need to fix this because I'm not going to fix it. Like if this is going to happen, it's on Sky, I'm tapping out. Hopefully she sticks by that because we witnessed it, right? We watched her try to walk it back. She tried so hard to like pull Sky, like hold her hand to be like, hey, like we can know. Okay, I'm going to go fuck myself.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Got it. It's still my fault. Great. Greg started it. Awesome. I'm getting out of here. Resid, where's my purse? But it, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:00 It's electric though to watch this whole thing. The only thing that could top that. level of tomfoolery, that level of ridiculousness, if you will, is Tommy. And this scene with MJ is fucking ludicrous, how this man talked to his wife and how he, what did he think was going to happen from this conversation? I don't know. I really don't know what he thought was going to come up from this conversation. And I, I know, you know, obviously, we do sequential recaps, but I want to bring in what
Starting point is 00:19:33 happens at the end of the episode with Resa texting him. because they're very different reactions. They're very different people when he responds to Res later in the episode versus what he's saying here. I wonder if now, and he knew this was going to happen, and it's a complete blowup, we're talking about trying to be friends. And again, I've understood the whole Reza Gigi thing. If you don't want to be friends with Resident Gigi, that's your prerogative. Whatever, dude.
Starting point is 00:19:57 But you're on the show, so we do have to talk about it. It's when they, when MJ brings in Amir and Natasha and Reza Jax and all. all of these other people that he still doesn't have relationships with. That's where he completely loses me. And obviously the way he's talking to his wife is completely wrong to begin with. But just trying to pull and feel what he's actually going through, I'm okay with the resident Gigi stuff. It's the rest of it that's like,
Starting point is 00:20:21 okay, dude, no, you're not trying at all. You're not doing any of this. But he reacts the way that he does and he blows up. But then at the end of the episode, he seems like, okay, yeah,
Starting point is 00:20:30 you know, when we stop filming, which is a reasonable reaction when we stop filming, we can maybe try to talk things through. I wonder if he needed this blow up to get it all out, and then he was able to move forward. I'm not making an excuse for him, but it was just very different reactions. And I wonder if he's either saving face for the cameras at the end of the episode or if that's genuinely where he is. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:20:51 I don't know. Because I'm going to believe MJ, I don't think he's a bad person. I don't think he's a bad dude necessarily. but this scene compared to the last one is two different people. I'll give you that. And maybe he either settled down or realized how bad he's going to look or a combination of the two. I don't really know.
Starting point is 00:21:14 But he misses the point the whole time. And this is kind of his M. This is what we talked about in the other episode. That's what we're talking about here. Like one, you know, she's trying to have a nice moment. And he fucking burps and goes, oh, sounds like a dread. Like the Peter Griffin of it all. Like that kind of shit bothers me.
Starting point is 00:21:28 But when she started. talking about because the root of this whole thing is what i'm having this twilight open house it's a big deal i haven't sold a house in a long time i'm the one that's that's holding this family together financially because you're building a podcast network which okay and she's the one doing all the work she's making all the money and all she's asking for is really just support at this point like that's where i get really frustrated with tom because it's like dude she's not asking you in this moment to be cool with them. She's asking you to show up to this thing that's a big deal to her because she's
Starting point is 00:22:05 trying to sell a house to support you guys. And to take it a different level and go after the people you haven't met yet, like, fuck this, fuck them. I don't want to do it. That's when he lost me entirely is when he starts stamping his feet and going, that's not what I want to do. I want my, what about my feelings like this, that, the other? Your wife's all, all she's asking you to do is show up and support her.
Starting point is 00:22:27 It has nothing to do with the other people. And if you're a grown up, you can compartmentalize and go to this thing. And if somebody approaches you, you can literally say res up. I'm not doing this. Bye. I'm here for my wife. But that's the part that he misses. And that's what MJ's saying to him is I want support.
Starting point is 00:22:44 I feel like you're not here. I don't give a fuck. You understand? Yeah. And that's kind of where it is too. And the other part of it that we were wondering and what we were talking about, at least on my ends, was yeah, maybe. years and years ago, MJ could have handled it differently.
Starting point is 00:23:02 I know that MJ got to a point with Reza and Gigi where she was over it. She was able to get back to being friends with them and you weren't. And maybe she could have handled that differently because you are her husband. She could have said, look, I'm forgiving them. I know that you don't have to forgive them. But for my sake, we can try to start mending some relationships here. It doesn't seem like that ever happens. And that's okay.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Because again, this is where we are now. I'm not really going to worry myself about what could have happened 10 years ago when all of that went down. but where we are now, yes, things have completely blown up and they've gotten to a worse place because she's on the show with them again. So you're going to have to do this and that and whatever. I'm with you. Just go and fucking show face. Like you are actually being a coward at this point. And when he goes into the whole like no one cared about me like I was in depression and I had to deal with this for over a year and I had to go to anger management problem or agor management school.
Starting point is 00:23:52 You probably should have been going to anger management as it was because a normal person wouldn't have done that. where you are now would speak volumes. And if you're able to show up to things and not just drop your wife off and then scoot out of there before you see anybody, we would have a little bit more respect for you. And you can still have this blow up scene where you don't want it. If MJ is trying to force a relationship with Reza and Gigi on you, you can blow up and you can freak out and say, I don't want a relationship with them. Stop doing this to me.
Starting point is 00:24:18 That would be okay if you were doing everything else and you're not doing everything else. And I agree with you. I get completely lost when she brings in everybody else. It's almost like guilt by association, but it's not even that. It's really just telling me pretty much that you don't agree with her doing this show again because she's going to get closer to Reza again. And you don't want that because you've already put your foot down and said, no, absolutely not. So yeah, the way that he does everything in this scene just gave me full-blown ick,
Starting point is 00:24:43 and it brings right back to I don't care how he is. I know a lot of people were saying that. This is who Tommy is. You have to understand all those things that went down. This is a completely different situation. It's 10 years later. You have to be an adult. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:55 And they're not mutually exclusive. That's the big thing that he's missing is that supporting your wife and being friends with the people that you are mad at are not the same thing. You can support your wife and still tell them to go fuck themselves. Correct. And like, that's what we're sitting here saying too. It's not like we're like, oh, we really need you to be friends with res. Like, we don't give a shit. Just be nice to your wife and go support her, especially if one financial times, right, things are hard.
Starting point is 00:25:24 no one's selling houses she's she's nervous she's supporting you while you start a podcast network show up that's the least you could do is show up who's listening to that podcast i'm not even trying to be shady i don't know i wonder if any of our list if you guys listen let us know i'd be curious who's listening to that and that's the other thing like is he is he building a podcast network like launching off of their own podcast is he signing other podcasts like what's the plan like i would love to hear more about that. And I'm sure that MJ is probably supportive of you doing this. And you know how I know that? Because the support is shown in the fact that she is going to work every day, trying to sell houses while you're trying to put this podcast network together. That's her supporting you.
Starting point is 00:26:13 I believe the word empire was voted around by the way. Empire. Empire. Yeah. That was a good one. Yeah, that was really. So let's see, make sure we give it the respect it deserves. Where'd you find this one? Where else was there? Retrap shit. I can't.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Ah, there's one other one. Damn it. We make it look easy. Oh, yeah. We make it look easy. Oh, those are so good. Limeier, RIP. Let's get Teresa and MJ and Elizabeth,
Starting point is 00:26:47 who is Jewel a niche jeweler, if you will. Yep. So you can take your, I wrote down death jeweler. So I was dancing around that. Actually, I like that one. I was dancing around it, but it was just go all in. So what she does is she gets ashes, extracts the carbon from those ashes,
Starting point is 00:27:08 and then they make an artificial diamond or a fabricated diamond using some of the carbon from the ashes. Therefore, you have your lost loved one in a little diamond for life. It's very sweet. Reza wants to do it. MJ is coming over to support him because he was with MJ when they spread her father's ashes. And that was a very funny scene. And I know it's sad, but watching Reza laugh, cough, and almost vomit after realizing that he had gotten MJ's dad in his mouth.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Yeah. Was a very funny moment. Yeah, it was a very funny moment. And I actually really like this because Resin MJ can have an entire conversation in front of this woman. And in a way, when the price is revealed for how much this is going to cost and it's $28,000, they both scoff at it. They both start laughing. Like, I'm not going to do that.
Starting point is 00:28:05 I can bring them back to life for $28,000. What are we doing here? Her face was priceless. That was so fucking hilarious. And I just love anybody on shows like this when you bring in a third party who's not used to something like this that can have. a full-blown conversation and just completely ignore the other person in the room and laugh about it is always gold for me it's always going to work for me and i really appreciated that but yeah i mean again what we're doing here is just kind of building more into resident mj they are very close putting this
Starting point is 00:28:32 right after the scene where mj's talking to to tommy is very important because it shows she's not really carrying it over like yes she is probably in her brain and we see it a little bit later thinking about ways that she can try to at least get to a point where she can repair enough that Tommy feels comfortable enough, I guess, to go to places. But it's really just important to show how close these two are. Yeah, exactly. And as the scene plays out, I actually wrote down, where to go, mocking the price as the lady sitting there, look at her face.
Starting point is 00:29:04 That's what I wrote down. Yeah. It was, yeah, very funny. But the other thing we get from this in regards to the open house is that this house belongs to Layla. who is Gigi's sister, who she does not get along with. Now, Reza is concerned because obviously M.J. Resin' G.G. had that big falling out.
Starting point is 00:29:23 That's pretty much when Shaw's ended, all that whole thing. So now that they found this again, this was a two-parter for me, this was one, I really like this friendship that we've all gotten back to. I actually believe you, but two, and the bigger one, hey, we're making money again from being friends. Let's not fuck this up. Let's go, let's go talk to, make sure we're, talk to gji and let her know that this is at layla's house and like let's be cool because we're making
Starting point is 00:29:48 six figures from this show and i want to continue to do that yeah very reasonable especially given how shah's ended and knowing what gg's reaction is going to be to something like this none of that has really changed so let's just try to go into this very carefully i like res's reaction to this right away no no no no no we're not doing that we are doing that oh god all right yeah i guess uh sitting down with Gigi, let's brainstorm on the best place possible to deliver this news. That's really going to be impactful for her.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Weed Cafe is definitely the right choice. They planned very well for that. But before we get to the weed cafe, we have to check in with Sky and Bombshud. And this, again, is a glimpse into the psyche of Sky a little bit more. Because it leads off with, she tried very hard to convince me
Starting point is 00:30:41 that Reza started the conversation. Bombs. No. Well, you know what? Maybe he did. I don't really remember. That's the whole argument. That's the entire argument.
Starting point is 00:30:54 And also this taking place at a restaurant in Beverly Hills is always funny to me. So good. We're never in the valley. We are never in the valley when we go see Sky and Bomsy unless we're at their house, which is in the valley. That's where this works. It's also incredibly funny to me every time this happens. So I ended up having to see.
Starting point is 00:31:09 sit down with Tannen the other day because RJ set me up. What? What do you mean? You guys haven't talked about this? You didn't know where she was or anything. No, we're just saving it for this dinner. Okay, this is a great time to do this. Let's just rip it off.
Starting point is 00:31:22 He is so funny. He's just so funny. He has no idea what the hell's going on. He's just trying to tread lightly where he doesn't want to piss off his wife. And he's also in the doghouse already. So he doesn't know how much more damage he could actually do. Well, yeah, Res has started. No, no, Greg did.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Which way are we going on this? Where do you think break started it? Was I there? I don't remember being there. I don't think I was part of this conversation. I was. Oh, God, I'm already in trouble for this, aren't I? That's the vibe.
Starting point is 00:31:49 It's like he's just waiting to get in trouble again. And sure enough, she's like, you're the main cause of all of this. Please go on. Do go on. He did not defend you. And we agreed. That was fucked. Bombs should have stood up.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Whether she's right or wrong, they're coming after your wife. You should have said something, done anything to divert the attention. from her. He didn't do anything. So I agree with you there. But this is not all his fault. And here's the thing. Okay. If you have issues with everybody you know, including your husband, who's the problem? Like, that's the thing that's driving me nuts. You cannot be right about every single person in your group. And they're all wrong about you. That doesn't make any sense. That's not logical. But bombs told Sky, well, I did stick up for you at the at the dude's date. Like, we were all together. And I told them like, you don't talk to my wife like that. That's not,
Starting point is 00:32:48 that's not good enough. Apparently, because she's, she's just like going after him and then he finally snaps. What the fuck do you want? What do you want me to say? The fuck, what the fuck is this? It's like, oh, oh. It was, it was a reasonable snap. I just didn't see a coming. I thought he was just going to keep taking it on the chin. And when he did snap, I'm like, oh, okay, we're going to be able to do this now. All right, let's rip off the bandit. Let's really get into it. And it really was just frustration boiling over. He's tired of being blamed. He's tired of putting this all on him. And yes, we agreed he should have stood up for her in some way. I don't really think that there's a good way that he could have done this without alienating himself from the rest of the group because
Starting point is 00:33:29 he still probably would have had to deal with a lot of the aftermath. But he didn't do himself any good by not stepping into all of this. I think it's fucking hilarious that this guy's sitting across the table from him saying, you're the main culprit here. You didn't say that to Tannen. You told Tannen that she's the main culprit.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Who is that it was Greg? Let's just keep flipping it around and flipping it around and then eventually maybe you'll land on yourself that's the main culprit. No, we're not going to do that? Okay, yeah, let's blame your husband who doesn't really know what the hell's going on.
Starting point is 00:33:58 And that's why I still think it's so funny. He thought this conversation was going to be about backing him up so that they don't have to move to Beverly Hill. and spend a bunch of money. Nope. It's actually about a lot of other things. It's about Sky directly. Cool.
Starting point is 00:34:11 I'm the main culprit. Fuck off. I don't want to do any of this. Yeah. That's literally what he said. And her response, she was staring daggers through this man. Don't you fucking talk to me like that ever in your life?
Starting point is 00:34:24 And by the way, this actually scared me. Okay, when she starts going, you owe me. I'm like, damn, like this is not a good situation. If this is the setup of the marriage, where it's now it's tit for tat. you owe me, I've got you, motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:34:36 That's what she's saying to this guy. Bombs is scared. Bombs doesn't know what to do. He's just trying to get through this and keep his head down again. And she goes on a trip. Like, that's how this marriage works, I think. She does her thing. Bombs keeps his head down.
Starting point is 00:34:54 And occasionally he gets bopped because Sky does some stupid shit and blames him. Yeah. And I did think that this was a little bit more insight to their marriage too, because while Sky is going through all of that and staring daggers at him, he says, when have you actually been there for me? And we get to go to his confessional talking about how he's been through a lot. We didn't get any specifics necessarily, but he's been through a lot in his life. And Sky was never actually there because he always has to make sure that she's okay,
Starting point is 00:35:20 not that he's okay. It's like, okay, there is a lot more deep emotion going on here that you guys have probably been neglecting or Sky has just been completely overlooking this entire time and it's always about her. And I kind of, I do understand. you know, now after, you know, seven, eight episodes into this season, who Sky is. And this all really checks out. He had her.
Starting point is 00:35:41 She was done. She didn't say anything. She was completely gagged. She had nothing to say back to him until she just, like, completely brings it back to him and starts going back after him. And this is kind of where we are. This whole thing has created so much chaos that not only is her best friends falling apart, but now your husband's falling apart.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Now your marriage is going to be falling apart. You still want to move to Beverly Hills? Are you going to do that on your own? I don't think so, Sky. I don't think you can. No, and that's the thing, man. And like, you can tell that he's conflicted. And that goes back to dinner.
Starting point is 00:36:12 It goes to his confessional. He feels one way. But when he voices it, he realizes, I'm going to get bopped for this. Real it in. And it happens in the confessional. It happened at dinner. In the confessional, he goes, well, I mean, this is, Guy. She's always been self-centered.
Starting point is 00:36:30 It's like he catches himself. they say, ah, but that's my wife. I'm always going to take her side. I'm always going to support my wife. It's like, yeah, I hear you. But at the same time, like, your feelings matter too, bombs should. Like, your feelings are also important.
Starting point is 00:36:47 You're not supposed to just grin and bear and be miserable for the rest of your life because your wife hates you. And what I'm starting to get from this, it's similar to the MJ Tommy thing. I think she wants to leave this man. And she wants to go to Beverly Hills. I think it's hysterical that you drive an hour plus plus traffic just to go to a restaurant in Beverly Hills rather than a restaurant in the valley. That's dumb.
Starting point is 00:37:11 But this poor dude, like, and I'm not saying that this guy's a saint, right? Like, I'm sure he does some irritating shit too. But from we take what we've seen. What I've seen is he fucked up on the bartender. Yeah, that's annoying. He does little things that probably irritates Sky. And then she takes them and blows it up. and then she takes other shit that she has going on.
Starting point is 00:37:34 And I'm sure she's always beefing with somebody, given what we've seen from her. And she takes it out on bombs. That's what I've gathered from this marriage. And that's sad. I feel bad for him. Yeah, yeah, it is sad. And obviously, you know, the level of delusion that she has,
Starting point is 00:37:48 it makes a lot of sense. The things that he's saying, it does make a lot of sense. It is very fun for the show. But if you want to think about it on a real level, which I don't really want to do, then this is pretty sad. This is kind of sad. It's a little sad.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Yeah. I'm sad. Yeah, I'm a little sad. Yeah, I'm a little sad. It makes me sad. Yeah, it makes me sad. But before we get back to the rest of our episode, I want to talk to you guys real quick about our friends over at Robody.
Starting point is 00:38:12 And maybe you have some friends, maybe you have some family members that have started their GLP1 journey. And if I was going to start my GLP1 journey, I would go right to Robody. Because the benefits of starting a GLP1 weight loss journey with Roe includes 100% online care, access to clinically proven FD approved medications, free insurance check and side effect management, dosing support, and a whole lot more. And I've heard a lot about GLP-1s. It's more important than you might think, honestly, because in addition to the weight loss, not only can patients lose weight, but they can also
Starting point is 00:38:46 expect to have better lab numbers, more energy, new levels of confidence, and more benefits that go beyond the scale. So there is a lot more to offer when it comes to that. And when you're thinking about GLP-1s, you should be thinking about Roe Body, because Roe offers the first FDA approved GLP1 for weight loss at the lowest cost around. The new GLP1 pill has the same weight loss ingredient as the shot and it packs comparable results to the shot. So if you're thinking about starting your GLP1 journey, you should start with Rowe. Go to row.co slash brabbrose to see if you're eligible for the new GLP1 pill on row.
Starting point is 00:39:20 That's RO. dot CO slash bro bros to get started on row. Go to row.com slash safety for box warning and full safety information about GLP1 medications. Now we'll get back for the rest of our episode. All right. Let's go to the weed cafe. What do you say? Yeah, this place plays up. This place looks awesome. It looks so cool. And it was the best idea. If you're trying to break some some tough news to Gigi, go get her super stoned in a peaceful place. And maybe we can alleviate some of the fallout from this whole thing. Gigi leads us off with the house that
Starting point is 00:39:54 we went and saw. And MJ's like, oh, this is great. This is right down the street from my house. Like, yeah, and look, they were going to sell it, but they said they're going to lease it. Oh, cool. Like what? 14,500. It's a steal. You can't even. You can't if I'm Reza.
Starting point is 00:40:13 And I think he's gotten to this point. And I don't know if this is because they want to keep the piece, but I do think he's genuinely gotten to the point where he's like, whatever. Whatever. Well, how are you going to pay for it? Oh, you're going to go ask Dennis. You're going to go ask Dennis for the money? Great. Sure.
Starting point is 00:40:29 I can't do this. This is stupid. Go do your thing. Have fun. That's the level we've gotten to. This is where we should be, honestly, because we watched at the beginning of the season where he was very opinionated. It didn't get him very far.
Starting point is 00:40:41 It probably just frustrated him beyond belief. So just take a step back and go to your confessional. Say what you really feel in your confessional and then deal with it later because she's going to see it. But you still want to be in that position where if you're right, you're right, and you do still have her back. You want to help her through things. But at some level, you do have to just go let her do what she's going to
Starting point is 00:40:59 If she thinks that she's going to get $3,000 a month from Dennis for alimony, then let her go think that. Oh, yeah. Alamoly. Interject a little bit here and just say, hey, make sure his name's on the lease because he can stop paying that as soon as he wants to. And then you're paying 14.5 if things don't work out. And that sounds like hell for you.
Starting point is 00:41:18 And you have a kid to think about, which never really gets thrown into the mix, which I think should, but it never really gets thrown into the mix when it comes to Gigi. Just enough. Like, we don't have to have a whole song and dance about this. she's going to bring you a bunch of crazy propositions for a lot of different things. This is one of the more important things she's doing in her life. Just let her go. She'll figure it out at some point, I guess.
Starting point is 00:41:39 Exactly. And I'm glad we've gotten there because it is funny. Like it's objectively funny every time she shows up with a new listing. And it's like, no, but this one, 20 grand. Like, fuck, no, lady. But hey, it's her life, let her live it. And I'm enjoying the house hunt now. Like, I think it's really funny now that Res is not getting amped up about it.
Starting point is 00:41:59 But that lays the groundwork for this next one. Because MJ lets it slip. Like, hey, you know that I'm selling your sister's house. If Gigi already knows, that's where I got confused. It's like, you know she's selling her house, but you're going to take an issue with the fact that she's holding an open house at the house. Yeah. Or is it because you got invited and you're like,
Starting point is 00:42:23 I think it's because she got invited. Yeah, I think it was that if I had to read through the lines. I love the response immediately. We don't actually have a date for this open house. I can't go to that. I'm busy that day. You don't even know what day it is. We haven't gotten that far.
Starting point is 00:42:37 But I understand where you're coming from. I get both sides, obviously, because we don't know a whole lot about Gigi's relationship with her sister. It's completely not existent, according to her and her professional. From MJ's point of view, I do have to tell you that I'm doing this. And I think I'd be in more hot water if I told you that I was doing this and didn't invite you. So you kind of just have to bear that and just deal with it because Gigi's going to lash out in some way.
Starting point is 00:43:01 But if you don't invite her and say that you're doing this, she can accuse you of being sneaky. So you're between a rock and a hard place. This is probably the best way to go about it. And especially doing it again in a situation where she's able to just smoke weed freely and be at a beautiful place. It looks like it has beautiful plants and trees. Why not just try it here? No matter what you do, it's going to be a bad reaction. So you still have to just kind of get it out there.
Starting point is 00:43:23 I think it went as well as it could have. You know she's going to clap back with something. And, you know, she says, I can't be there that day. And the response is, I don't say that. And she snaps quickly. She reels it in. She's like, it's my family. Back off.
Starting point is 00:43:35 I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's keep it. Smoke another joint. Someone get to slay to another joint. My, again, my big thing with that is like, you need money. You of all people should understand, like what she's doing. This isn't a shot at you. And she wants her friends there as support.
Starting point is 00:43:53 Now, I get that you're not wanting to go. And if you don't go like that, I understand. stand sure. Sure. The harsh reaction isn't totally fair for MJ. Reza calls that out. I was like, you don't have to be like rude and insult her.
Starting point is 00:44:04 She said, I didn't insult her. Like, fuck you. So there, I mean, in ways of Gigi, though,
Starting point is 00:44:11 that's not an insult. No, I agree. An insult to MJ. I do, I agree with Reza kind of stepping in a little bit just to try to get her to play nice. But I don't really think the Gigi was insulting MJ by saying that.
Starting point is 00:44:24 No, I think it was as soft as you're, going to get out of that situation. Yeah. So like that's kind of a win. And she actually won up some pretty good by throwing Tommy out there. So what was Tommy going? No, he doesn't feel, oh, he doesn't feel comfortable with the people there.
Starting point is 00:44:40 Oh, interesting how that works. I was like, oh, damn, she got her. Are we having a sit down with Tommy talking about this? We did actually. It didn't go well. It went worse than this is going right now, actually. Yeah. But that was a good, that's a good play.
Starting point is 00:44:53 It's a good play by Gigi. Well done. But the biggest takeaway from this season. is that Reza goes to text Tommy. And he says, hey, pretty much along the lines of, I would love to be able to try to move forward at some point, totally get it if you don't regards Reza. Hoping that we get a response, we don't know.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Maybe you'll find out where. I like Reza's reaction to it though, because he's like, if I do get a text back from Tommy, I'm probably going to have a heart attack. So I don't know. But it does show at least, and this is the first time that we've seen this because they have been asking the whole season,
Starting point is 00:45:23 is Tommy going to come over? Is he going to come in? I know he dropped you off. Like, they're not going as far to say make sure he comes in or I'll go out and say something to him or talk to him or anything. So this is the first step that we've seen the whole season, which, you know, I'll take. And I think it also points to Reza because look, Reza gets a little fiery sometimes. We've seen it.
Starting point is 00:45:43 But he does seem like a genuinely nice kind person. Like he cares about other people. He's changed a lot too since that moment. Yeah. So I think that it's nice. I think that it also shows MJ who needs this desperately. right now that, hey, you do have people that support you. Like, I'm doing this for you, MJ,
Starting point is 00:46:01 but I'm not going to say that. But it's just nice to show her that, hey, you got people that have your back, even if Tommy's a dick. And it wasn't like pulling teeth either. She didn't have to force him to text Tommy. She just kind of let everybody know. I had a conversation about him. He wasn't willing to do this.
Starting point is 00:46:16 And Resa was able to do it. So again, that's a step in the right direction. Yep, exactly. Of the Regency era, you might know it as the time when Bridgeton, takes place. For the time when Jane Austen wrote her books,
Starting point is 00:46:30 the Regency era was also an explosive time of social change, sex scandals, and maybe the worst king in British history. Vulgar history's new season is all

That's Amir's way to try to smooth this thing over. He's like, you know, we'll just get into the mindset of being kids again.
Starting point is 00:48:30 You know, who's going to be mad going down a water slide? Fucking nobody. That's who. Not me. But the conversation shifts in this scene to a little vasectomy conversation. He didn't have good arguments. No, he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about, to be honest. No, it's tough.
Starting point is 00:48:47 It was tough. I was like, oh, you, she might get mad at you for the things that you're saying. He's like, I'm going to, oh, whole. I'm going to subject. my body to surgery and trial. Ooh. I thought it was bad because I just thought that she had given birth because the trauma that the body goes through from that, men, we can't say anything about that.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Right. To make matters worse, he's complaining about surgery, which is a, it's a quick thing. They just, and you can get it reversed into vasectomy, but. Yeah. I thought he was going to immediately say, why don't you get your tubes tied, which would have been worse. That's not reversible. Yeah, no, no, because tubeside is not reversible.
Starting point is 00:49:30 It's not reversible. I don't think he understands what goes into birth control and all of the hormone and fluxions and all of those things. Like, he's never had this conversation before. And I know he goes into how tough it was to try to get pregnant with his ex-life, you know, obviously all the things that went down before that. He really has no idea what the hell he's talking about. Like, he's never had this conversation before.
Starting point is 00:49:51 He's never had a girlfriend beyond birth control. He's never experienced what happened. happens and how they actually react to the things like that. He's never had this conversation with a girlfriend before, and you can very clearly see that. I'm going to just plead ignorance because he seems like an incredibly nice guy. I don't think he means anything malicious by this. And I think Natasha handled it pretty well.
Starting point is 00:50:09 No, yeah. Yeah, I don't think he's trying to be a dick. It's just, you know, comparing your ball surgery to three C sections might not be the best play guy, you know? Probably not. Or at the end to be like, well, if I do this, you're going to owe me big time. It's like, just stop while you're behind. Quit digging that hole.
Starting point is 00:50:28 But now, actually, no, he digs it a little bit further because then he goes, well, what if you get done with me? Oh, fuck, man. Yeah, where's he going with this? I don't know. And her point was the best point. Like, oh, if we do get divorced, do you want to have more kids? Like, what, what are you? What, Amir?
Starting point is 00:50:44 Where are we going with this? Yeah. I don't know. You've done such a good job all season. Just stop. We're just going to chalk it up to a bad, a bad moment, a bad showing. Yeah. I think they're fine.
Starting point is 00:50:56 I cannot handle if those two start to collapse because they are my North Star of good couple on all of Bravo. So let's just chalk this up to a bad moment. He's definitely going to learn because I'm sure the comments are already going off about that whole thing as they should. So it'll be a good learning experience for him and hopefully he doesn't repeat that. But we get Reza and Tannen and they are recapping Boys Night. and bombsy and how this is all really difficult for him. So now they're worried about him. But Reza does go and say like,
Starting point is 00:51:30 hey, I wanted to talk to you. And this is, again, pointing to Reza being a pretty solid dude from what I've seen. He's like, you know, I put you in a really bad spot. And that was not my intent.
Starting point is 00:51:39 This has to be so refreshing for Tannen to just be like, thank you. Accountability. Ah, this is what I've been pleading Sky for. And you did it so. It was very telling that she said, you did it so quick.
Starting point is 00:51:52 It's like, you're not used to that, huh? Like your friends usually don't do that. Definitely not used to that. Again, it shows where he is. And I don't know, I mean, you can read into it if you want to be a conspiracy theorist, if maybe Reza Jacks pulled him aside and said, hey, she's thinking some type of way about you starting this whole discussion and kind of throwing her under the bus.
Starting point is 00:52:11 So maybe go apologize. That's okay. That's neither here nor there. The important thing is that he took accountability, which is huge for Tadden. Yes, it is. And, you know, I'm grateful for Reza because he, he has the same reaction that the audience has when we're talking about this whole thing because Tanin starts going and she's like, you know, she feels ambushed.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Like she has no friends. Like nobody likes her. And she's furious at me for not standing up for her. He's like, what? She's nuts. It's like, ah,
Starting point is 00:52:39 thank you. All right, cool. We're not nuts at home. That's what I thought too, but I thought maybe I read it wrong. So yeah, that makes a lot more sense to me.
Starting point is 00:52:46 But we find out a little bit more about Sky's background because Tanin says that she's playing defense to protect something. And she moved to the states by herself, with no family. Tan's like, so we accepted her into hours. And Res is like, this is great to know. This is so good because now I just have to, I need to have no expectations for this person.
Starting point is 00:53:05 My expectations are at the floor because she has zero self-awareness, zero accountability. Now I know. I'm just not going to deal with it, which I think, I'm curious, if you pull out entirely from Sky in this situation, does it figure itself out?
Starting point is 00:53:24 comes back to the group? Or is she actually the person? I'm leaning towards this where she's like, see ya, several ties. I have new friends now. I think it's that. Yeah, I think it's 100% that. Yeah, I don't think that she's going to realize the fault in her ways
Starting point is 00:53:40 with more self-isolation or realize, okay, these people are, they're not trying anymore. I think that what we've learned from 10 and every time that they've had a falling out, she had to be the one to go back to her. I don't think that Sky would have reached out ever. I think she's one of those people that's like, you know what? If you don't want to reach out to me and try to mend this relationship, then we're done. It just shows me everything I need to know when in reality it should be a little bit of give and take,
Starting point is 00:54:04 but she doesn't see that given take. So no, I do think you're right. I think that if this was one of those situations where everybody just kind of washed their hands of her, she would disappear and we would never see her again. I think so too. That's where I'm leaning. Now, let's get back to Tommy and MJ for a much more pleasant scene, minus the burping. especially when she's trying to have a nice moment.
Starting point is 00:54:24 It's just like that's, but that also gives you a glimpse into Tommy because like he's not trying to be disrespectful. He truly, and this isn't what he is. He just doesn't know any better. Like he thinks that he's doing all the right things. And you can't get through to somebody like that that thinks they're hitting all these notes.
Starting point is 00:54:41 I'll give him credit for bringing up like therapy and, you know, talking about the podcast, connecting them a little bit more. Like that's where I can lean towards like I don't think he's a bad dude. I just think that he's, got some dumbass tendencies and he's not good at regulating his emotions apparently yeah yeah but this was a better scene but again like we know where this goes this is kind of like Kyle and Amanda
Starting point is 00:55:04 on summer house like it's hard to really dig into this because we know where they end up they are no longer together so I'm just glad that he was able to be nicer to his wife in this scene and we didn't see him doubled down on the shit that we saw before yeah and that was a big takeaway from me and again that's when I kind of started thinking, like, maybe he just needed to have it out. Maybe he really just needed to just completely blow up and really show his emotions to really rate it back in and realize, oh, shit. Yeah, I didn't mean it. Because I don't think he's a bad guy at all.
Starting point is 00:55:36 And even MJ is saying, like, he's not a bad guy. He's just is who he is. Like, he's, you have to accept him for all of his burps and all of his flaws. And this is just who he is at the end of the day. I don't think this is going to go as far as I do want to repair my relationships of these people for the sake. of my wife. I don't think he's ever going to get to that point. But it's still at least okay to see them kind of come back together and have a nice
Starting point is 00:55:58 Yeah. Yeah. We're not rooting for it to be miserable all the time. So let's go to the pool party. And obviously Gigi's house and the lease and the 14.5 is coming up as she walks into a party. Like the third time that we've done this too. I know. But that's what's great about this show because she walks up and they're like, oh, speak of the devil. Everybody says that. The whole tale. Speaking of the devil. Like, we were clearly talking about you, but the reactions are what I appreciate. Because Gigi in that moment actually has the right to snap and go, fuck this. You guys keep talking about me.
Starting point is 00:56:34 I'm out of here. She doesn't. Even in the confessional, she's like, it's just annoying. Like, I know you're talking about me, but like, can you just give it a sec? Like, Jesus. Can you just say hi? Like, I love her reaction walking in. Like, there's a word you say when you see somebody for the first time today.
Starting point is 00:56:49 It's high. And then you can get into whatever the fuck you guys are talking about because I know you're all talking about me. But it's so funny that this is now like the third time that we've done this. She did it walking into two separate dinners. They're already talking about her and they don't say hi. They just immediately continue their conversation. They're like, oh, now we can get it from the source. You don't just sit down with us and talk all about it.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Like, no, can you just at least exchange pleasantries with me? And then I'm happy to talk to you guys about this. Because you can look at all the things that Gigi does. She's always willing to sit down and talk to somebody about what the hell is going on and what you guys are talking about. You're not really talking behind her back, but you are kind of just skipping over a lot of things and just getting right into it when she arrives somewhere.
Starting point is 00:57:27 So it is annoying. I'm with her on that. Yeah, the conversation may go left in a hurry, but she will have the conversation with you. But she, I mean, claps back beautifully in the confessional and say,
Starting point is 00:57:38 can you guys move on and talk about your failing marriages? I was like, ooh, there's a lot of that going around. Yeah, even Amir is shaking this one. What the hell? No,
Starting point is 00:57:47 they're fine. They're going to be just fine. They're fine. But the question comes up about sky. Is sky coming to the party? Adam apparently texted her, got no response, which I think is very interesting
Starting point is 00:57:58 because Adam didn't say anything. And your big thing was nobody reached out. Adam did reach out. So then I'm going back. I'm like, well, when did he reach out? Did he reach out the night of? And now she's lying that nobody reached out the night of.
Starting point is 00:58:08 Like, ooh, what's going on here? Especially Adam. He seems like such a nice dude. But Greg points out that Tannen used to always bend the knee. He tells everybody like she's always the one that has to smooth things over. we get more from her in regards to what to expect, and she thinks that it's just going to be cordial.
Starting point is 00:58:26 It's going to be all surface level, which I still think is optimistic unless she bends the knee. I don't think Sky is going to be cordial with you unless you admit that you're wrong. Like that's what she needs to be able to move on in this quote unquote friendship. What I'm hoping comes from this is Tannen continues to recognize all of the red flags, continues to feel like Sky treated or lesser than. And she goes and lives her best life with other. other people.
Starting point is 00:58:51 And then maybe. I don't think so. But just maybe. Sky would come to her. I don't think it's going to happen, guys. I'm just saying that could be a possibility. It might be a possibility. The only thing I could see that really involving is the show.
Starting point is 00:59:14 And it's whether or not she wants to be on the show. If she still wants to be on the show, she has to realize at some point she's going to have to mend relations. or at least show up to things. I'm going to wait and hold my judgment for now because we see obviously Bomsy coming in by himself. I think maybe she just needs a cool down period and we'll see where we are next week. We'll see where we are in a couple of weeks. We'll have to see what happens.
Starting point is 00:59:37 But everything in my gut is telling me she doesn't give a fuck about the show and she doesn't care about any of these people and she feels like she's been burned by them. And we may never see her again. We'll see her in a couple of clips with just Bomsy or maybe one other person. and maybe RJ has another sit down with her. Aside from that, there is a chance that we just don't really see her ever again. I wouldn't be surprised, actually. No.
Starting point is 00:59:57 You mentioned that. Like, if she just is kind of a fleeting presence on this show from here and out, would not be that shocking to me. Because I agree. I don't think she cares. I don't think she cares about the show. I don't think she cares about these people. I do think that she believes she's better than them.
Starting point is 01:00:12 And not even because they say, quote, unquote, not classy things. I just think that she thinks she's better than a lot of people. Yeah. That's the vibe I guess. yet. That's the vibe I get too. But I do love Adam. I love that he is trying. You know, we learned from his childhood. He didn't come from an affectionate family. You have somebody like Reza who's very affectionate, who's pleading, pleading Adam to show him some more affection, just smooch me sometimes, maybe a little pat on the booty, you know, a little hug, kiss on
Starting point is 01:00:39 the cheek. Tell me you love me. Tell me I look pretty. Nothing wrong with that. No, nothing wrong with that at all. But what I like about Adam, who is not comfortable doing those things is he's trying to figure out how to do those things. And that's all we ask, especially in a marriage on these shows, just make the effort. It's a little effort. Goes a long way. He should do some research, too, because when he brings up tantric yoga, I was like, ooh, okay. That's very intimate. Gigi's like, oh, yeah, I've heard people have orgasms just like looking at each other. He's like, well, wait, time out. What do you mean? It's like, yeah, that's what, that's what tantric anything is. It's like building up sexual tension for such an extended period of time that you just
Starting point is 01:01:19 explode, no pun intended. But that, that was a nice little scene. I'm just, I like seeing that. It makes me happy. Me too. And also confirmation that Res has got a hammer. So that's fun too, illustrated by appetizers, which is fun. It's a good time.
Starting point is 01:01:41 That's what we like to see. Everybody getting along talking about dongs. Yeah, I want to see how big everyone's dong is with some sort of food item. that's normal. Yeah, maybe not a lot. You know, just a one-off joke every once in a while is fine. Yeah, all the time. Every Bravo left.
Starting point is 01:02:00 Every Bravo, love. Okay. Yep. All right. Give the people what they want. Every episode, there's a food reference to a penis. Yeah, maybe not. All the best foods are shaped like penises.
Starting point is 01:02:12 Everybody knows that. Oh, wow. I haven't watched that movie in forever. Super bad. to clarify. Don't people thinking I'm watching like dong videos. You know, nothing wrong with that.
Starting point is 01:02:23 That's your gut too. But yeah, we were talking about super bad, not the dog videos that we also watch. Well, I loved Vita in forcing the rules of the pool to the lifeguard, but not as much as I love the fact that there is a lifeguard at this party.
Starting point is 01:02:38 We have a lifeguard watching this line. Yeah. I like that for two reasons. Well, one, it's funny. And yes, they did go all out.
Starting point is 01:02:47 But two, I like that. Because that means all of the adults are locked in and doing the show. Because we have a lifeguard to take care of the kids so they can all go do their job and push storylines further. That's, that's great thinking. Good job. It's very forward thinking. Also having a bartender there, very important.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Oh, bombs. You got it. Now you're, you leave him alone. You leave bombs on alone. This is Amir's fault. Amir made that comment in the beginning of the episode. I mean, it's an easy one to make. But let's go to the last part of this episode.
Starting point is 01:03:21 We're still at the pool party. Everyone's sitting around the table. Sky is allegedly in Vegas for a jewelry show. Interesting timing, but okay. I like that we're taking digs. I like the Tannins like, just the most relaxed we've seen him in a while, huh? Yeah, come on.
Starting point is 01:03:38 Oh, ball and chains not here. He feel a little better, aren't you bombs? I like that they're trying to get a rise out of him. And I like that he didn't take the bait either. I'm glad that he's like, he brings up what he should have brought up at the parties like sky feels disrespected which means that you disrespected me because it disrespected my wife again you see the conflict in this man
Starting point is 01:03:59 because he agrees with all of them yeah but he has to defend his wife and he finds himself kind of old dog consistently in the ah ageist yeah age just piece of shit got but it's what like you constantly watch this guy in the middle trying to say the right thing, but at the same time, feeling what everyone else is saying. He is in a really shitty spot. I will give him lots of props, though. My guy looked fly as fuck walking into that party. Oh, he looked great.
Starting point is 01:04:31 Uninhibited by maybe a little extra baggage. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. But what comes from this whole thing is just more big question marks, because Sky thinks that she's right and she's holding on to being right. I forget who said. I think Tannen says this.
Starting point is 01:04:49 Or no, MJ says this. And I thought this was really good. Sky thinks she's right. She's holding on to being right. More so than trying to mend fences with those who love and support her. Bomsy agrees with this. And we know that because he says,
Starting point is 01:05:04 this puts me in a really compromising position with my wife. To which I have to reply, what doesn't? Yeah. Yeah, I don't think he can make a move at this point. That's not going to put him in a compromising position. Nope. I think you're up Shits Creek without a paddle, my guy.
Starting point is 01:05:20 And that's made very obvious at the end when he says, like, yeah, you know, I don't know, but she's coming for you. She's coming. Yeah. Buckle up. It got me excited. That sky's coming for everybody. Yep. Same zies.
Starting point is 01:05:35 But let's see what the audience had to say about it. This is a fun one from Jacqueline R. What would you want your ashes turned into? maybe a uh maybe a zen pouch just the whole a whole thing is in yeah so you can suck on me yeah
Starting point is 01:05:55 one last time you're like you fucking gross you gross buddy uh from joanne beach or i guess i i don't know i've thought the tree thing's interesting you know where they play yeah the tree thing is actually interesting yeah yeah then there's the other question of like you know do you upload your consciousness into a computer in hopes that one day quantum computing is able to
Starting point is 01:06:19 oh really? I don't know. I think that'd be interesting. Get me out of this thing. Joanne Beach, why does Gigi think Dennis would pay alimony? We didn't even talk about that.
Starting point is 01:06:31 I know you mentioned it. For such a short marriage, she's... I don't know what that acronym is. W.HWCJ. What? Her would... She's...
Starting point is 01:06:47 who I don't know. Joanne, you're just going to have to tell us what this means because this is, it's going to give me an aneurysm. What if I Google it? W.H. WCJ.
Starting point is 01:07:00 We don't try to figure out what Gigi's thinking. It's better for us. It's funny when she does things like this. And that's about it. That's about as much as I'm going to pay it by it. Well, you stumped, you stumped Google.
Starting point is 01:07:15 They don't know what you were saying. Yeah, I think it might be a, typo. Probably. I'm now looking at my keyboard seeing what that could be. W.H.J. W.H.C.
Starting point is 01:07:29 There's not even a vowel down by the C's. I don't know what you're trying to get at. But yeah, we don't try to make sense of Gigi. We just watch and are entertained by Gigi. She brings the thunder. And that's what we enjoy. And we're pressed for time. a little bit here.
Starting point is 01:07:48 So one more and I'll just shout this one out. No more Maricio, although he is in the next episode. So we do get more Maricio. Yeah. Yep. Buckle up because he's on every show. He's the new Tom Schwartz with a lot more money.
Starting point is 01:08:02 But yeah, this show rocks. I say it every week. If you're still listening, then you're not watching this show. Do yourself a favor. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what you're doing.
Starting point is 01:08:13 But do better. Okay. Come on, guys. Everybody, if you're not watching the show, do better. But that's all I got. You got anything else? Nope. Well, that's our brah, bro.
