What's up Bros? We are back to Vanderpump Villa and my goodness its good to be back. This show is great. It's an easy watch and with the return of Stassi to our screens this has the chance to be an amazing season. In episode 1, we meet the cast. We have some returning members in Marciano, Hannah, Andre, Gabriella, Grace and Chef Anthony. We have A LOT of newbies in all different roles and this cast seems like theyre going to be electric. Hannah and Marciano are 'just friends' and 'completely new people'. But Bridget's addition puts that to the test. Chef Anthony deals with a disruptive sous chef. Andre and Gabriella have a history they're looking to explore but after overhearing Andre express interest in someone else, Gabriella isnt so certain. It's chaos, its funny, its dramatic. It's just a fun show. We'll hammer out this season in the next couple weeks so buckle up Bros! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You're good. Enjoy some goldfish cheddar crackers. Goldfish have short memories. Be like goldfish. I'll be honest.

I started watching season one episode one for 10 minutes before I realized that that was season one episode one and not season two. But I was very good. I was like, wow, the whole cast is back, huh? And we're still in France. I could have swore they were going to Italy. Not until that realization that they were not in Italy. I was like, oh, wait a minute. The hell is Stephen doing here?

It's like, wow. Although I will tell you right now I'm going to miss Stephen. I'm definitely going to miss Stephen. You know who I'm going to miss? Hagan is incredible. Hagan's amazing, but you know who I'm going to miss? Who? Eric!

I got to have me my bros and shows. Bros and shows. Brows and shows. I got to have me my Bros. and shows. Good evening, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Bros. and Shows. I'm Rico Hostile Russell, joined as always by the one and only Castello McGoutre.

I thought you were just going to go with Old Faithful with Villa Goots. Villa Goots. Yeah. Well, we're in Italy now. And they did such a fucking bang-up job of changing. Chateau Rosabel to like Estella it was the laziest name change ever

So I gave you Stella Rosado Yeah Which is the same thing Come on Can we be a little bit more creative? Yeah We know this

Yeah we know this Look This is going to be difficult From a name standpoint There are a lot of new faces And then they had to give us people With almost the exact same names Which is hella confusing

And yeah Look it's such an enjoyable show it's just such a great throw on in the background hopefully enough of you i know there's a lot of people that listened to our uh recaps last year that weren't actually watching the show hopefully you did yourself a favor and started tuning in like steel did to season one episode well did they drop all of them they're all out right they're all out and this this is what pisses me off and this is you know obviously we're still going to do our recap we're still going to get into it we're going to figure out the structure how we're going to be able to do it you know we might do a couple episodes where

it's two together we'll see how it goes but From a marketing standpoint, why would Hulu do this? I don't understand why they wouldn't just drop like two or three, get people into it, get their beaks wet, and then do a week to week because it allows people to talk about it. And if you think about it, like all of the big shows that we watch now, they go week to week so that we have a week to talk about them. Where's the discourse? You know what I mean?

So if you drop them all at once, people are going to forget about it in a couple of weeks. And I just think it's stupid. Is Mormon wives drop three then every week? Is that right? That one's going to be a little different because they re-aired that the first season on ABC, so I don't know what they're going to do when it comes to season two. I haven't seen if all 10 episodes are going to drop, but that has been Hulu's M.O., so I wouldn't be surprised. It's just a weird thing. I saw an article.

It's interesting you said that about how Netflix is dropping the ball because they continue to do that. Yeah, season five of you, season five of you dropped on Thursday night. The whole, and did I watch it? Yes, I watched all of it, but they shouldn't do that. They should do, and I know they're, like, leading into the first and second part, like, Squid Games was the first couple of episodes. They're going to be like six episodes in July. Yeah, same with Stranger Things. So that's probably a smarter approach, but I don't know.

I just don't get it. Do you realize that you, the show has been in our screeners for like a month and a half, right? Yeah, but then when you told me that, I looked and I didn't see. screeners and I guess I lost access and I didn't feel like making a stink about it. So I'll definitely make a think about it when there is a show, but it was like a week or two. So I just waited. That's fair. All right.

That's fair. But yeah, back to Villa. Let's make sure if you're new to this, if you're not watching and you're listening, first of all, just go watch. It's so goddamn easy to watch. Like, do yourself a favor. But second, let's make sure that we're watching this show under the right perspective. Okay.

This is not to be taken. in too seriously i already had people in the dms earlier that were like it seems really scripted and overproduced yes okay you're going to get lvp has her hands all over this and that's okay it is but it is is i know because they're such idiots that it's not yeah and look if you go back and you watch all of season one and then you start off with season two you're going to realize what i'm saying when i tell you it's not really scripted these people are just that crazy that's stupid and that insane. And that's who they are.

Yeah. Like last year, like Eric, the manager who had no business managing anybody, was a lunatic, like genuinely. And he took his shirt off and was drinking during one of the parties. It's complete debauchery, but it's very enjoyable. Just don't come into this with like any kind of serious note. You have to watch this purely for entertainment and laughing. And most importantly, we get the return of Stoss. Schroeder to our screens and Bo who I love I love Bo I'm glad he's back so there's a lot to

lot to dive into here these breakdowns are going to be a little bit more fun because that's what this show is which we love a good because we always have like shows that we take too seriously we know other people don't take them as seriously as we do but it's nice to have one of these in there where it's just a silly silly fun time in Italy still goofy time yeah it's silly goofy time with the bros so buckle up everybody let's jump in to what is it Castell Rosado or something. Yep, that's the one. Okay, that's lazy.

It's just lazy, but I will say this. I fucking love Italy. I think it's the most amazing place. I went there on my honeymoon. It's just, it's so cool. The castles, the towns, or Vieto. I love it. So I'm glad we're in Italy, and it took me, like I said, a long time to realize that.

But we get the cast and like the staff orientation. It's going to take us a while to name all the characters, because I also don't appreciate that they drop new people. they're characters. Okay, they are fucking characters. They are even in real life. They could be 100% genuine. These people are fucking characters. Except for Chef Anthony. He's a serious dude. Protect him at all costs. I fucking love Chef Anthony. He's great. But we start out with Ashley and Bridget. Bridget's a Sue Chef. Hard quotes. She was Sue Chef. She worked at a Michelin Star restaurant. She's underestimated their whole life.

Did she say Suge? I think she said Suge. Suge. Suge chef. She doesn't, Such, Such, Chef. That's not good. She was nervous. Do you know how big of a deal it is to finally get the ranking of Sue Chef? Like, it's a really fucking big deal in the culinary world. Apparently not. That's my point.

Immediately, I'm like, oh, no. You have to know what a Sue chef is to be one. It's very hard. Well, to her credit, they are in Italy and not in France. If they were in France, I feel like she would have gotten them right. Sue is universal. Yeah, this started in France. Sure.

It's a French word. Okay, cool. It's across the board. A sous chef is second in command. You are literally... Look, she's already having a really hard time. I just don't feel like bringing it down on her some more. Just don't kick someone while they're down.

Yeah, that's fine. She's not going to get back up. But hey, whatever. We got Hagan, who right out of the gate, he quit finance to be there. Like, nine to five is not for me. They're so fucking funny. Like, I woulda, I want to be in the office walking by his cubicle. Like, what the fuck is this guy doing?

Posing. Like, if you're not watching YouTube, you're missing out big time. But he's literally like this. I was just there to stunt. I was there to show off flex a little bit. I had great fits. Polos, khakis. Has no interest in the nine to five life, which is great for us because I think he's going to be a star.

I can't imagine. Like you said. could you imagine being in that office? I can't imagine being in an office with somebody like Hagan, who I'm walking by just like either miserable or thinking about something. And he's just flex and taking pictures and then doing the shit that we watch on the show. I'm like, who are you? He's great.

He's going to be a star, dude. He's going to be a fucking star. But Dominic, cook, he's in the kid. We got a big kitchen staff, which I love. I'm excited for that because shit's always going to pop off in the kitchen. We also got a big, I'm walking here from that. Oh, God. I don't think I'm going to like.

Dominic. I don't think why. You don't like New York Italians? What's your deal? No, no, no. It's not that. It's the trope that he's leaning so very heavily into him. I think he's kind of a dweeb. Oh, that's fine. Yeah.

And like the way that he approaches the situation with Hannah was fucking, that's crazy. It's fucking crazy for somebody to do that. But we got some returning cast members. We got Andre's coming back. Love Andre. Gladdy's back. Gabriela, she's great. Stoke the cheese back. Andre and Gabriella last season had something for a while. And

like we had all these scenes where they're getting closer. It was more of a romantic relationship than like a summer fling. So coming into this. They started off by saying, you know, we talked a lot. We're still trying to figure out what we are and where we go with this. It's been a year. I know. What do you mean you're still trying to figure out? I'm glad you, because when they said that, I'm like, okay, hold on, hold on. Have you guys put it on pause since? Yes. It's just like a summer pause.

Has to be. Has to be. Right? That's what I thought. I'm like, so we're picking up where we left off and seeing what happens. Okay. I'm trying to remember back to the reunion at the end of season one. They did say that they were still talking and like hanging out, but they were like, there's

nothing here. We haven't defined anything. But now we're a year later and they're like, we're still trying to figure out exactly where we are. And, you know, as you keep watching this show, you're like, all right. What are you guys? They're not really together. it's very very strange i was actually like surprised that marciano walks back into this place

mark and by the way for anybody listening and i did it all last season mark i'm not saying marciano every time mark is marciano why were you surprised because you didn't read the cast or i didn't read the guest i did not read the guest so all of these were surprises for you yeah it's great i actually like i did it intentional i wanted this season to be a 100% like who's coming back and And I did it intentionally. I did no prior research other than watch the first 10 minutes of last season today. But yeah, I wanted it all. Research, yeah.

Yeah, that was unintentional. The rest was intentional where I just, I wanted to see, okay, who's coming back? Who made it back? Because I had like little bets in my head. I'm like, there's no way as a business owner, regardless of TV, that you can afford to bring somebody like Marciano back. Sure enough, Mark comes back. He, for those that are unacquainted, is an absolute shithead. just ticking time bomb has no emotional regulation whatsoever and his counterpart hannah comes

back the count they are literally stasi and jacks from seasons one and two of vanderpom which is like even funnier that you get a call back from stasi this episode where it's like oh god i'm having PTSD i'm like yeah so are we but they're both back stunning absolutely still little did she know that this week we would have had to watch the valley so we would have seen a little bit more in questions. I wonder what it was like when Stasi was dating it. So, yeah. But don't worry, Marciano, he started

his DJ career, as they all tend to do for some reason. And he's a changed man. He's dialed in this year, all right? And the new Marciano. He's the new Marciano. Did it really? Have you noticed the name tags? You haven't noticed, oh, you haven't noticed any of the text? Because I have right during confession. Oh, dude,

they're the best. I'm not kidding you. you have to pay attention to the name tags because they keep changing them. I'll give you one more little example when Marciano is talking about Stasi later, they change his name tag to Stasi's big fan. And then as I saw Stasi's number one fan, then it goes into Stasi's number one fan. Oh, it evolved. I just saw Stasi's number one fan. Oh, yeah.

That's what's funny. And I remember that from last season about this show. The producers don't take it too seriously either. No. Like the editors and everybody, they, it's all like kind of a tongue-in-cheek show. so make sure we're watching it that way everyone but don't worry because hannah's over it look marciano are just friends he's a dj that's gross i can't even believe that like i hooked up with him ew all that i'm like no way this is how last season started too you guys were on the outs you

didn't care anymore it's gonna fucking blow up and we saw the same and this is funny to me because like things started coming back as i was watching and it's like marciano did this and i keep calling Marceona now stuck in my head instead of Mark but he did the same shit last year as far as apologies go if you remember because he goes up immediately to like Gabriella and grace he had shit with both of them last season multiple times and he gives an apology if you watch the first season he does this to everybody if he he will always put his foot in his mouth and do something dumb and then he'll walk it back with the most over zealous apology ever where it's like he's saying trying to say all the right things to the point that it's disingenuous.

I'm like, okay, good. He hasn't changed at all. That's good for us. The only person that he doesn't really apologize to is Hanna. And that's something because he'll go deep into an apology with all of them. The obvious choice for the big apology that actually might mean something is when he apologizes to Lisa for his behavior. And that's just because he's afraid of being sent home.

But Hatt is the one who, so far from what I've seen this season, he hasn't really done a whole lot to Hanna, but she's still going after him. and he's still not apologizing for anything. So he apologizes for everybody else. Just not her, but that's never going to happen. Just not her. Yeah. But the whole cast is getting acquainted.

Everyone's saying hi. And you can tell that the newcomers all watched last season. They all know who the returning cast members are, which I'm not actually against. I'm like, I like that there's a show like this. No. Yeah.

It's different than like a housewife show when a fan comes on to that. Like I'm okay with the setup for this. It's good for this because people like Marciano and Hannah. they will have that same energy. Like, I know you watch me on TV last year. That's how you know who I am. And that's going to go right to their head, which is going to create even more chaotic behavior,

which is going to make the show better. So I love. I do too. I think it's perfect for this. But Hannah immediately clocks Bridget. Okay, that's Marciano's type. So need to make friends with her real quick. She's like, hey, why don't we be roommates?

And I was like, wow, that's a move. And she's like, I keep an eye on her. Yeah. And Bridgett's like, like, oh, it's great. I like have a friend already. I'm so excited. And Hannah's like, I'm making sure that she doesn't fuck Marciano. That's the only reason that I'm doing this person. But LVP enters. I love that we have stakes this season. It makes it

so much better. It won it all last year. We were like they should be competing for a spot to go or go work, go play. This is how we're doing this. To go work at one of the Vanderpump restaurants. That's what we want. Go work. Go work. go work for somewhere in Vegas, go work somewhere in L.A. I don't care where it is, but there should be something there. They did have a, I don't think it was $30,000, but they did have like a $20,000 prize or something last year. Okay, I didn't know that. And I think Andre was the one who won it, which Andre's, he's just delightful.

He is. He's a delightful man. But this year, job for best employee at one of her best establishments and 30 grand in a bonus. So the stakes are high, which means you're going to get, you're not going to get their best effort. It's not going to happen. Okay. You're going to see the worst servers you've ever seen in your life. You're going to see the worst customer service you ever seen in your life. And for whatever reason, they're going to keep coming back every week and they're going to claim we're getting better. And then everything's going to blow up, which is why we love this show

The twisted tale of Amanda Knox is an eight-episode Hulu original limited series that blends gripping pacing with emotional complexity,

The twisted tale of Amanda Knox is now streaming only on Disney Plus. You can get protein at home or a protein latte at Tim's. No powders, no blenders, no shakers.

Starting at 17 grams per medium latte, Tim's new protein lattes, protein without all the work, at participating restaurants in Canada. It's their first night there. So LVP's like, look, go get acquainted. Go to Orvieto. Not Orvietto. Orvietto. And check out the town, you know.

Go have some wine, some pasta, hang out. you crazy kids get out of here and they do and we jump into this so fast oh yeah like before meeting anybody we're interacting with cast members or interacting with each other it was confusing but i also like that we're not doing a bunch of i prefer it this way because i thought this entire first episode is going to be like here's the backstory and they did a lot of backstory and i've seen uh who's the bar what's the bartender's name lexy i want to say yeah l a l a x-e x-ee yeah the whole line one I've heard her Hawaiian backstory three times now. So they keep doing it.

I don't know why they're doing it. But I am happy that they did that because we don't need a ton of backstory. These people are characters. They will get into shit immediately. They will get to know each other very quickly. And then things will pop off very quickly. So let's just throw them in that environment right away. We don't need a preamble for a show like this.

So I love it. Nope. And as you pointed out, Ciadi has a crush on grace. So Ciadi is one of the servers, I believe, or is he activities. Siotti is activities. Him and Tyler are activities. That's right.

But he also seemed to help out with like setting things up a little bit. Well, activities is a new job this year because they didn't have that. That was Eric last year. Eric was manager. But also in charge of activities. That's why he would always move the. That's why he would always move the outings. And LVB would be pissed.

Why do we put this year? Well, Eric told us to. Oh, God, dude. I miss it. So him and Tyler are in charge of activities because I thought it was kind of weird when we met siotti he immediately starts with we're going to play so many different games and i'm like what are you like the game master and he reminds is actually the game master so yeah it is it reminds me of club dread remember that yeah movie yeah where he like what's as nuts is the activities leader

but or the fun police or something like that but anyway arva no no farva played i don't remember the funny thing is i don't know any of those guys names the um what is it broken arrow is that there That's Kevin Heffernan. Okay. Is Farva. Not Doug Heffernan? No. Who's Doug Heffernan?

What's what's going over my head? It's Kevin James' character from that UPS show. Oh, King of Queens? Oh, wow. My God. We're going way back in the vault right now. Yeah. Showing our age.

Let's get back on task. We got everyone's hanging out. Hagen, I love that he points this out because he's 100% right. There's way too many couples right now. There's way too many couples. We need to break some of these people up so there can be more chaos in this house. And there will be. There definitely will not be couples.

You don't have to worry about that. It's actually better that there are couples because they will break apart. What's the over under on the couples making it like out of this show? What qualifies is making it? Like we get to the reunion and they're still like where Andre and Gabrielle were last year. Yeah. Uh, two. It's probably still going to be Andre and Gabrielle again.

Yeah. No, I don't think so. I think I will be. They always come back to each other. I don't know if anyone's going to. They're always, you know, everyone knows. No,

I'm going to say, I'm going to say those two. And then I don't know about Ciani and Ciana. That's going to be so. That was really going to bother me. Like, of course they had to fucking hook up too. Like, you got to be getting into that.

Get out of my face. Get out of my face with your same name bullshit. I'm already going to have a hard time. Now you're going to be together. What if we just like CC, if we're talking about both of them? C, C, I'm in. The C.C. Yeah.

Count me in. All right, cool. That makes it easier for us. But Marciano, right out of the gate, starts flirting with Bridget. And Hannah's just like clocking her, just staring across, like staring a hole through her. And this was the weirdest shit I've ever seen. Dominic walks up. He doesn't know Hannah.

He just met Hannah. he just met everybody else and he walks up to Marciano and goes Hannah looks sad Hannah's pissed he's like okay Marciano is the same guy okay anything else anything else no I guess not why why would you do that who does down to Marciano probably loves that too he's like oh he loves it this guy knows who I'm with he knows my ex he's watching her so I don't have to come it over to report to me so now when Hannah flips out on me I can just say it was Dominic. This is going to work out great for me.

It was just bizarre. Like this little white night out of nowhere. I'm like, dude, you're way less. But that was exhibit A of these newbies watched the show or at least knew what was going on. Knowing about that and talking about it and then seeing it and being like, ooh, I got to get involved. Got to jump in immediately because I want to hook up with Hannah and I got to get

Marciano out of here. But you can tell Dominic pretty confident he's going to play a numbers game. He's going to cast a wide net and just hope that he hooks up with somebody. And Hannah was his first target. It goes horribly because now Bridget goes over to Hannah to talk to her. And she's like, hey, I heard you're pissed. And she's like, no, I'm not. Couldn't care less about Marciano.

I don't care. You said anything about Marciano. I don't know what you're talking about him. Who? They just said you're pissed. Yeah, I don't care about him. Yeah, whatever. No, we're on the subject.

What's he doing? Yeah, where's Dominic? Bring that little fucker over here. And then she starts yelling at him like, my favorite thing, and she does the same shit, because she said it last year, I'm not the one. I'm not the fucking one. It's like, uh, anytime I've seen you in like a verbal altercation with somebody, very rarely have you come out on top. Yeah, but I, I see, this is why I love Hannah for, especially for TV.

She knows that she's psychotic. She understands that she's crazy as shit. And she will finally come down like a few minutes afterwards and just apologize, be like, whoa, that was kind of crazy. She'll move on And it's just her the entire time Like she could go off on a tangent screaming at everybody for 30 minutes And then look at everybody else

And look like Ron Burgundy With like a glass of whiskey And be like oh That kind of escalated fast guys huh We didn't say a word to you You just yelled at us Yep 100%.

But again white night Dom He's like That guy is toxic as shit Don't put this on me She's not You did You put yourself into this mess I really, if you watch the first season,

why on earth would you want to get in between these two? It's a disaster. They're going to implode regardless. Just let me. You just watch it from far. But we get to the next morning. Nothing super crazy happens other than that. And we get to the staff meeting once again.

And Marciano claims New Year, Lisa is my only priority. I want to show her what a good worker I am, which is verbatim, the shit he said last season. Hannah, same thing. New me, New Year. not going to fuck this up so excited to be here blah blah blah that sets the table for everything LVP enters and we get the rundown and this is why we like this show it's kind of like the

on land version of below deck a little bit you have a guest coming in this time we have a residential guest coming in who could it be Stasi and Bo and then you have a guest that's coming for the weekend or whatever the following day so their test run is Stossie and Bo which is great so we're doing a T and Ken and Ken that's right we get a Ken shout out which doesn't say much which is I wish he reprised his role

from uh I heard that he was in the hot tub with I need yeah I need him involved with Hannah Marciano immediately some just one thing right I don't care what it is just do something I do also love Stasi and better showing up with their kids

their nanny Bo Bo oh yeah I bett you call him Bow and Ken mixed together became Ben. Okay, fine. I'll give you, okay. Yeah, that's all that was. But they're showing up with their kids, the nanny, and the natties kid.

Love that. Why not? Bring the whole crew. Why not? It's not like these crazy people are going to watch your kids. I don't think you want them to watch your kids. I think that would be a really bad idea. Chef Anthony.

Chef Anthony, but then he would have them like, he'd have them in mind. He would just, those kids would be like. They would do a lot better than Bridget. Yes, chef. That would actually probably be better. But the kitchen. is shaping up to be, dare I say, a hot zone? Quite the hot zone indeed.

I do love that they did get a much bigger kitchen, though. That kitchen in France last year was so small. It was like a closet. And it had no ventilation. And it was hot as balls in there. And now they've got like a big industrial size kitchen, kind of. They do. That's a full-sized kitchen.

They got the family dinner table for the chefs before service. They have it all. So Anthony's gotten a bump up. He deserves it. Anthony's great. Kitchen is insane. We got a bigger staff. Bridget, the Sioux, okay?

And for people, Suge, if you aren't, like, genuinely, if you don't know how kitchens run, like head chef overseas, Sue's chef is the head chef's brain. Like, the Sue needs to know everything the chef wants so that he doesn't have to ask about stupid shit. And Bridget doesn't even know how to turn anything on. yeah this was insane it was crazy i was trying to rack my brain for like reasons why this happened and i'm like look it sounds like maybe you and anthony just didn't sit down and talk about things before but she seemed to know nothing about how a kitchen was run like what is this everybody's confused

you worked at a michelin star restaurant which we talked about last week for whatever reason why did we talk about that you're talking about the roadmap the michelin road map oh where michelin stars come from yeah we just started talking about them for some reason and that and here we No, we know. And yeah, so it seemed like she had no idea how a kitchen operated. But also, did she just think going in here, like everything that they do is just for show and it's not real? Like, yes, obviously I'd rather be a server or a housekeeper or whatever or head of activities for sure that I would be working in the kitchen because those are the only people that I actually work. That's the serious job, yeah, is the kitchen.

So how are you not going in there before you came the day before or that morning and looking around like, all right, this is the kind of. the stove that we have out here we go how do i turn the fucking water on i don't know let's figure this out how do i make sure that i put a timer on the oven so i don't burn everything i don't know figure it out it was so crazy to be that she just walked in there was like i don't know where anything is it's insane like not to make it about me but when i'm doing a private dinner in somebody's kitchen the first thing i first of all i arrive way earlier than i need to be there and the first thing i do is open every cabinet and find everything i possibly need so i I'm not scrambling during service.

It's like the number one thing. There's no chance that Anthony didn't. Yeah. Of course, he knows every inch of that kitchen already. And you would expect your sue to know the same shit. So it's fucking astounding. She doesn't know how to turn on the sink oven.

Doesn't know how to peel carrots correctly. It's awesome. It's a fucking nightmare. It's so good. It's so good. But not nearly as good as the fact that Ciadi faked an English accent. Or he's faking an American accent.

Now, I don't know. I'm assuming he faked the British accent. A bit of both. He is from the story that he told Lisa. I'm from Nordingham. He's the story that he told Lisa is true, but he's not doing, he's doing an American accent because everybody else has American accents. Wait, wait.

Is that a theory or do you know this to be true? No, this is true. How do you know that? He talks about it the second episode. Oh, okay. What a weird choice. Yeah. Lisa gave him

Lisa gave him the option like hey What happened to your English accent and he goes Yeah I just I'm doing the American thing now Like you know I'm a bit of both And she's like what? And she's like are you going to drop this American accent? And he goes Not right now

And she's like okay see you later Just walks away and he just keeps it It is bizarre That's the weirdest shit ever Yeah I can't wait I'm sure I'm really hoping that this turns into something else where the rest of the crew finds out, because I don't think they know. Like, maybe Tyler might know because he's getting close to him.

But I hope the rest of the crew finds out because when the other lunatics find out that he's actually from England doing an American accent, they're going to lose their shit. It's going to be blown way out of proportion. Yeah, it's going to be what else are you lying about? Yeah, exactly. I don't feel safe around you now. Cian CC2. CC2, yep.

One of the CCs is going to be mad. She's like, I don't even know who I'm sleeping with now. Are you American? Are you British? That's such a weird choice. What a strange thing to do. I love it, but, you know, whatever. But Stasi and Bo arrive with their nanny, nanny's kid, their kids, everybody's there,

and Marciano is apparently her number one fan, who knew. And Stasi, three months out of the year, wants to be in Italy. Bo is an Italian citizen through his parents, I believe. And I didn't realize, and I like this weird kind of aspect of this show, is it's also about just Stasi and Bo. Like they're there and Stasi takes on her role as we find out later of being somewhat of like, I guess the snooper. She's Snoopy.

Yes, she's almost like the manager, but she's not actually doing any managing things, I guess. Yeah, she's just going to be floating around, I think, and just talking to people about what's going on, trying to get like your feelings. Finding the drama, of course. You know, obviously we get a little bit more insight when she has to sit down with Lisa. But yeah, that's pretty much the gist of her role. Yeah, it's interesting, but she's still clamoring for that approval. She needs that validation from LVP, and as we know, her departure from Banderpump

rules was not good of her own doing, and she has had a lot of ground to make up. It is not our decision, whether or not you at home have forgiven her for what happened, but she's back on our screens nonetheless, and she's still clamoring for LVP to just say, I'm proud of you. It's a mother-daughter fucked up relationship, and she just wants LVP to be route but let's get back to the kitchen okay because shit's popping off in the kitchen anthony's just asking for things to be done and rigid's talking back about literally everything he's like the carrots were wrong do them again well i did them already and ashley who's a cook

with no culinary background but she is not a sous chef she's a cook in the kitchen with no culinary background and unequivocally understands how kitchens operate way more Because she was in the kitchen with her grandma, which, you know, if you've ever been in a kitchen with your grandma before, you learn very quickly. You don't fuck around. You're doing some shit wrong. You are going to get yelled at. So, yeah, figure it out. Yeah.

So she, I would imagine that Bridget gets replaced. I know that she goes in. I'm at her walking into LVP's office for that meeting at the end of episode ones. You probably have more info. Don't spoil that one for me. But the kitchen's a disaster. And I love it. It really is.

Yeah. It's a lot of fun. but let's get to LVP and Stasi having tea. Why are you back? And this is these are the produced, like if it's LVP scenes, they're probably scripted. They're produced as hell.

Yeah. And if they're the heads up, it's the cat, it's usually LVP with one of the people from whoever's staying there. So when Mom Talk comes in, she'll sit down with Taylor, fuck, Taylor and Green.

Taylor, no, Taylor. Nope. It's a poor name. Frankie Paul. Taylor, Frankie Paul. Taylor and Green is no longer on. our screen. Yep. So she's going to be sitting down with Taylor, Frankie Paul, probably talking about mom talk, filling her in, probably explaining what TikTok is to LVP. That's going to be

really fun. But she does it every time and it is highly produced. So those are the produced scenes. The rest, not so much. Yeah. So just take it with a grain of salt, take it for what it is. And you can tell they took, you know, probably three, four, five takes to get all this shit. But that's okay. Because she's like, why are you back? Stoss. He's like, you know, I didn't ask to leave. She didn't. She was kicked off the show. But her career since her departure of Vanderpump rules has flourished. Like she has a very successful podcast. She's written a couple of books. I think one of them is a bestseller. Don't quote me on that, but I do believe it was. She's done a lot. She's done a lot to really have a very good career and make a ton of money and be successful. So coming back to

this is somewhat of a full circle moment for her to finally get that pat on the back that she's been so longing for her entire life or since she's known Lisa. That's what this is about. This is her chance to be like, she is proud of me. Thanks, Lisa. Thanks, Mom.

Lisa. Thanks, Ma. I love you. Yeah. Ma, Lisa. But that's where Lisa fills her in about this is your role. I want you to Snoop. You're going to pretty much manage the backup house.

That's what I want you to do. I want you to do my eyes and ears because I have to jump on the phone and take care of England or fucking American business. whatever I do at night because nine hours, whatever. So that's the roles that we're setting up. Everyone, cool, cool. We get to the first dinner. So that is Stasi, Bo, Ken, and Lisa, and we're setting up for, this is where we get

Ciadi and Aiden, who I didn't know was part of the house until this scene. And Aiden is a fucking weirdo because Ciadi's setting up for service. It gets weirder, by the way. So just prep for that. Great. Can't wait for that. And Ciadi's, you know, stressed a little bit. He's like, hey, can you go grab Gabriela, tell her I need this?

And he's like, hey, bro, hey, man. And touches, don't break the touch. Oh, I thought that was Tyler. No, that was Aiden. That was Aiden? Yeah, because Tyler, I'm already confusing Tyler. Yeah, I'm already confusing Tyler and Aden. Okay, because if it was Tyler, they were putting face masks on earlier.

They seemed to be in a place where like a shoulder grab is, is okay. Their boys. Aiden, we don't really know. And Aiden's trying to like bro down. And he's like putting his hand on him. He's like, hey, bro. We're going to be fine. Dap me up.

Don't leave you hanging. Don't leave me hanging. Ciotty's like, okay, this guy's a fucking weirdo. And I asked you to get Gabriella. We're running out of time. Focus on your job. Focus on your fucking job, Aiden. And Aiden goes to confessionally, he's like, not going to lie.

That really hurt my feelings. So who the fuck is this guy? People are fucking nuts. They're insane, dude. Why would you think that was- Aden is as close to a new Eric as you're going to get, I think. Okay, good. I need to replace.

that's where you're going to go yeah all right i because i remember last season i think our first impression of eric because this guy seems like he's all about the business and i was like oh wow this guy's a fucking lunatic so maybe that's the agent's job this year but again bridget's still clueless so now anthony's talking to bridget trying to figure out hey what have you done today and she her response is why you're not doing enough for you like what do you want for me he's like no no literally what have you accomplished what time do we get in here it's like two i don't even know i don't remember It's like 2 o'clock is when we're supposed to be in here. I was here at 5 in the morning.

You got here at 2. You've accomplished nothing. Just listen. When I tell you, say yes, chef and do your fucking job. Do not go to a confessional and say, I've worked for superior chefs. It's like, well, they're not your chef anymore. This is your chef. Peel the care.

There's a reason why you're over here doing this and not working at a Bishol and Star Restaurant anymore. Just say them. I mean, but that's where I'm like, I'm trying to think of. a scenario in which she was in a Michelin Star kitchen. Those places are insane. You can't, if you miss timing, there's like a clock and you've got to get everything out. She even says like in the middle of all of this when she burnt something and she forgot to put the timer on the oven, she goes, I burn stuff all the time.

It's never a problem. It's like, where? At a Michelin Star restaurant, you don't burn things. You don't get the star. That doesn't make any sense. So I'm baffled at how she got Sue Chef, unless. Lisa's like, this will be funny. It could be that.

It could also be that her credentials are the same as Ciotti's English accent. It's just not there. It's not real. That's the other thing with this. You don't really know what people told. She could have just taken a few pictures. Honestly, she ate at a Michelin Star restaurant once and took a picture in the kitchen with the chef. But we get to dinner with Ken, Bo, Stasi, and LVP.

And that's where you meet Alyssa. who's a server and then you get the dinner intro from Anthony dinner looks great I don't I don't buy into the gold plated food shit No I said that too yeah like a gold plated baked potato With caviar on top I'm like what's that for

I get it you're rich and shit but like what it's like the There's old plated strawberries no Yeah and Conchie there's that like a restaurant that serves like the golden cheese steak or burger or it's the burger Yeah that would have hurt Yeah, there's a place down here that's a cheese steak. That's a capital grill, isn't it? I thought it's Delphris goes.

Is it Delphrit? It's probably both of them. What the fuck knows? It's stupid. I don't need to eat gold. Like, okay, I don't need my, I don't need my dokey sprinkling. You know what I'm saying? I'm good.

What's that from? Oh, I was thinking of a different thing. I was thinking about Tywin Lannister shitting gold, but, you know. Oh, no. That's okay, too. Same thing. While other money managers are holding. Dynamic is hunting.

Hi, I'm here to tell you about Good Morning Night Vale. Welcome to Night Vale's official recap show and unofficial best friend food podcast. Join me, Meg Bashwinner, and fellow tri-hosts, Hal Lublin and Symphony Sanders, as we dissect all of the cool, squishy, and slimy bits of every episode of Welcome to Night Vale. Come for the insightful and hilarious commentary and stay for all of the weird and wild. behind-the-scenes stories. Good morning night fail, with new episodes every other Thursday. Get it

wherever you get your podcasts. Yes, even there. But dinner goes, dinner goes whatever. You know, obviously they ask some weird questions to make sure staff is up for everything. But LVP, do you believe this or is this her trying to stay? Never eaten ranch before? Do you believe that?

Uh, no. Ever. She's lived in L.A. for how long? Also, don't believe when, you know, obviously the first The first thing that she asked for is ketchup, or Stasi says ketchup. Afterwards, she turns it to tomato sauce. It's like you know. Tomato sauce.

Come on. You've been, you lived, yeah, come on. You live in L.A. You know what ketchup is. Yeah, come on. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Well, we get to after service.

This was a shocking scene. It was funny. It was just like, these guys are so dumb. And they're all in their like 20s and 30s. So I just, it's crazy to me that they talk like this. in a public area, and they're sitting there, they're talking about the chicks and boobs and blondes and naturals. And like, who are you going for, man?

It's like, oh, I'm going for Bridget. Well, what about you, bro? Well, I'm going for Siana. That's all we're to push our beds closer. And I'm okay with saggy when they're in their 70s and blah, blah. The only important thing that came from any of this was Andre talking about Gabriella. That's the only thing that really mattered because everyone else is like, Ooh, they're talking about it.

It's like him, but these are grown people. The only thing that could have made the scene better is of Hannah was standing there, too. And Marciano was talking about, Bridget. Oh, she would have kicked the door open. She would have grabbed Bridget by the hair and dragged her into the room and threw her on the ground. It says, is this who you're talking about? Yeah, this bitch. This is you like?

Sorry, I need to calm down. My dad. Bridget, you good? I'm out of here. See you. Talk later. I'm going to go to bed. Yeah, I got to go.

I got to sleep. We'll talk about it in the morning after she fucked somebody. up but no it's Andre is the only important conversation and I'm like all right okay after all these dudes are talking about boobs and like sex and shit like Andre's actually being talking about a connection he's like not totally sure it's there which is fine because he's working through it I'm like all right he's doing pretty good Gabrielle is out there listening so she knows what's up you know she's not loving it but he still doesn't say anything bad and then they're like I get it bro you want it because you want to see

like who else you can get he's like exactly and she's like what the fuck it was so good because I'm like he's doing great he's saying all the right things I'm like oh fuck that ruined it I think you're done and she even says she goes well we're done done now like behind closed

doors this man's like I'll always choose you he's saying all the right things and then one second with the dudes and Andre's a dick I just wanted to know like how much they actually talked in the last year I do there's no way that they talk that often they just saw each other again or started talking like a week or two before like hey

you go in Italy I'll be there we can rekindle a little bit we'll see how it goes I don't know I don't either maybe we'll get more as the season goes on as far as like where they were I don't know who knows I don't really care as long as you know it doesn't matter it doesn't really matter but

Marciano and Bridget are by the pool chit chatting he's you know trying to play a game here trying to relearn a little bit and as this is happening got hagan and hannah upstairs listening over the balcony and hagan's like oh they're definitely out there they're definitely talking and hana's like oh my god i'm not gonna do this again this year like this is not going to happen i'm a changed person i was so fucking confused by all of this though like hagan is literally hanging out of the window i know full bore has the screen up with the window hanging out trying to listen i thought there was a little

tiny balcony like one of those you're not really supposed to go on Oh, like, yeah, maybe. I don't know, one of those European things. I don't really understand that. The American mind can't comprehend. But, like, he's acting like he could hear everything. And then when they go out there, it looks like it's like a half a mile trek to the pool. It looks like it's on the different side of the property.

It's like, no building there. I don't know. All these trees. I'm like, how do you guys even know? That's got to be a producer, like, leading in like, hey, hey, Bridget, Bridget and Marciano are down there. Just listen. Just listen for a little bit. Now you've got to go walk down this windy-ass road to get down there. Yeah, it was not an easy trek by any means.

That's funny you pointed that out because I was like, that seems further than that, whatever. But Hannah approaches and, again, she is up until this point. I mean, clearly she's agitated about the whole situation, but has maintained. I'm over it. I don't care. Whatever. She's over it. Do you like her?

That's your intro? Do you like her? You flirt with her? What the fuck? You're not doing the shit. again it's like you're told you we even do this technically you're doing it like he's just flirting with somebody else and look he's gross she pops up like the grim reaper and he goes up here we go again here we go here we go and again like his fucking explanation for things is brutal he's like

i'm trying to get to know everyone this year and like i'm starting here because i've got a strong connection i'm not going to let anything get between this connection it's like you just met this woman yesterday all you want to do is bang you don't have a connection you're attracted to her and you're an idiot and you haven't changed at all hagan i liked a lot because he's like all right get a grip like you come here what are you doing this is terrible you need to stop talking to him but he's like she seems like a lunatic like a crazy bitch and i like that i usually hang out with the mean girls this is a lot of fun for me but the best part about that scene because stasi you know is in the room like a jason and she's like oh i definitely heard

heard everything. But the way that the camera works, when they walk away, they zoom in on the bush as though Stasi's like in the bush. In the bushes. She's thinking her role very, he's very seriously. That's what they made it seem like. I was like, this is fucking great. But instead she's just like strolling around with like a drink as she like leaves her room later. But we get to bedtime. And Siana is into Siety. They are roommates. He's like going to bed, quote, unquote. And he definitely pushed those beds closer together, by the way. There was no space. Oh my God. There was no space. Yeah. Which by the way,

if she wasn't into you is a huge massive violation to push your bed next to somebody else's, but she was into him. He's into her. I had the feeling that they talked before they got there. They must have. Right. Yeah, I think he said like, we made a connection before or something. That makes me feel better because I was like, you can't just push your bed closer

because you wanted to happen. That's weird. But she, like, he rolls over and she just like taps him on the hand. And he like looks at her and she's like, bet and they bet we get the first bang out of the way i actually agree with dominic we don't need the theatrics nope okay that was ridiculous and it's three o'clock in the morning she's called his daddy apparently not that late at this else i i was confused by the timing of everything if i'm to be honest with you especially when they did the moon because at three 15 you got bridget gabriella

Marciano are drinking in the bar. Stasi is just roaming about the grounds like fucking what's his name from Harry Potter with Mrs. Filch. What's that name? Oh, yeah. Oh, God. Oh, shit. I can't remember his name? How can I remember Mrs. Filch, the cat, but not the name of the

Everybody remembers the cat. And then in Chamber of Secrets that you think Mrs. Filch died. I'm not able to move. Troll in the dungeon. Troll of the dungeon. No, that's that's not him. That's Professor Quiro. come on dude oh that was yeah um miss philch owner that's embarrassing i'm just going to look at miss philch dude aren't you reading these books of your daughter or something yeah it's it's not good this is bad oh god damn it argus filch that's his name

mrs norris oh i called oh fuck filch is i was with you i was with you mrs norris is the cat all right all right there you go so filch i was close i'm an idiot not close enough whatever But anyway, 4.30 a.m. still talking. 5.15 still talking. There's guests coming tomorrow, people. Two hours. I thought your job. I know, 7.15 is right because it says like two hours, whatever.

But I thought this is a new year, Marciano. Food and bed people are a different breed. I got tired even seeing that. And then the moon goes. Like when Bridges goes, we're going to bed. I'm like, oh, my God, I can feel the wake up. You know, when you wake up and you're so tired. You don't even go to sleep at that point.

You just keep going. You try, but then you have that 10 minute where you accidentally fall asleep, and then you wake up and you're like, you don't know where you are. I was thinking like you get that existential dread at one point when you look at the clock, too, which kind of only comes over your whole body, like, ugh. Then you play the game. If I go to sleep now, I get two hours. If I go to sleep now, I get an hour and a half.

If I go to sleep, now I got to get up. Fuck. Yeah, it made me feel gross. Not going to lie. But I didn't like it. We get to the morning. and Bridget and Anthony have a conversation, much needed conversation.

He's like, look, this isn't good. You don't know how to work the oven. And you complain about everything. And you're losing your train of thought as I'm talking to right now. Yep. And she's like, I've got 100 TVs in my head and 90 of them are playing cats and dogs

and funny videos and the other one. And then she hits yourself in the head. I'm like, what is wrong with you? What is happening right now? There's something wrong with her. She's losing her mind. mind. I think she's in real time losing her mind because she's just not equipped for this job. What's the, uh, what's the phrase? Crazy as a bag of cats. Crazy as a bag of cats. Is that it?

That's sure. That's that is. She's like, my brain doesn't work that way. And I, you can't just tell me what to do. You got to show me what to do. No one else knew how to work the oven. They're not the sous chef. And no, you're the, like, you need to know the shit. And that's when he's like, dude, I was in the kitchen learning it. You weren't. Like, that's also part of the problem. I don't think that you're good enough at that. She's like, can I just give me one sec?

And she walks. She's like, cameras, cameras, cameras. Cameras. And she gets to like the entryway. And she just loses it. She has like a full blown panic attack.

I'm sorry. But if you're the sous chef, like what did she say to the producers? I'm having a full blown adult panic attack. A full blown adult panic attack. Good to differentiate. Look, we're sympathetic here to panic attacks and anxiety and all those things.

But you're just. not in this show qualified for this job this show's different i don't care as much i don't care as much either and especially like you're not qualified for this and it's quite evident so maybe you'll find something else for you i don't really know you've seen the second episode don't spoil it but we're almost at the end of this and bo and stasi go on a date and this is the kind of weird other dynamic that i didn't know is going to be a part of the show is you're actually going to watch the show yeah kind of navigate where they're at in life and you know not a whole lot happens I've always loved Bo and like when he's back on DPR.

It's just promotion for their show. That's all I'm like. That's what it looks like. I'm like, okay, so they're just, it's also going to be on Hulu and they're like, how do we,

look, I don't think you have to drum up a ton of interest when it comes to Stasi. A lot of people are going to check into that anyway and a lot of people like though too. So it's going to work out fine. But I think this is just like a stepping stone. Like, Hey,

did you like this? You're going to like it a lot more when we have the show. It's like the last episode of Vanderpump rules that left frog into the valley. that's kind of if we know anything about LVP she loves a good crossover to start a new show she does that's what you get here because you had the same thing with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Brandy Glanville

and that was the first episode of Vanderpump Rules and she goes to the bar because Sheener banged Brandy's husband there's a little callback for everybody there but the whole conversation pretty much boils down to Bo needs his thing you didn't have a thing because Stasi's been so successful he's been following her around

He's a stay-at-home dad from what it sounds like, which is important. It's great. I don't look down on that by any means. But I don't think he's even approaching it that way where it's like he's the man and he needs a job. I think he just wants a thing. He feels like he doesn't have his thing. Well, it sucks him because he's a Rams fan too. So, like, there's no happiness really there.

Well, no one's really a Rams fan, unless you're from St. Yeah, I think he actually is based on what I've seen. He seems like he's an actual. I think he's from like the Midwest, too. So I think he carried over. Oh, so he's like an OG Rams and then he followed him to L.A. LA yeah that I will condone Rams fans that are just LA Rams fans I don't believe you no I don't believe you at all so I will trust the people that stuck with them from St. Louis that's fine

but yeah just needs this thing but anyway we get to LVP and Anthony to end the episode out and he's just going through the Bridget shit that she's unequipped for this job there's no skill her attitude sucks you can't turn a fucking oven so she calls Bridget in I had anxiety during this front of see she is just a mess she's like she is she's trying not to cry and lisa's like you know what the fuck is going on and she tries to pull her heart a little bit and she's like you know i took this role for granted i was just so excited to see gold sous chef on my jacket it's like the the orchestra plays and that it's like you know one thing about lisa too she is not sympathetic when it comes to shit like this at all she's just sitting there like sipping her drink

staring her down like what are you what are you crying about what's Yeah, you need to figure it the fuck out, man, because this is not going to be how we're going to roll this year. And as she said at the beginning, the gloves are off this season. She let these people get away with everything last year. They are the worst staff in the history of staffs other than chef Anthony. He's good at his job. And then his sous chef last season was great.

Caroline, I believe. Yeah, she was awesome. She was awesome. Other than that, no one's good at what they do, which is what makes this show so goddamn good. And the only thing that can cap it off is like the credit scenes is fucking Hagen dressing up and then acting as Hannah was fucking hilarious.

So he's going to be a star. This shows just as good as I needed to be. It's everything that I wanted it out of a first episode. I'm so happy it's back. And yeah, we'll figure out the way that we're going to do this. But yeah, 10 out of 10 first episode yeah i think every maybe like third episode that we do

we'll probably do questions just like as a catch up the problem with a show like this uh you know we kind of thought about it talked about it that when we put out questions you guys just can't help yourself like i we will have spoilers you'll be like what do you think about marciano doing this didn't see it thanks for the spoiler yeah you guys go seven episodes ahead and then you ruin the show for us all right people get mad at us for spoiling the show that we're recapping you guys actually spoil it you know so yeah it's tough to put the questions out but as far as the show goes we'll probably group a couple together if there's like a banger of an episode will be a standalone but we'll get them out pretty quickly we'll be done the season

the next within the next like yeah two weeks probably we'll make sure you guys have them all out so we know that it'll lose its luster after a little while but yeah if you're listening still and you have not watched this show this is one of those ones like we kept telling people at southern hospitality and it took you guys three seasons to get into it yeah this is the same shit it's it's a different type of show but holy shit it's so it's fantastic it's just fun but yeah excited for the rest of it you got anything else nope that's our show bros we gotta go hi i'm here to tell you about good morning night veil welcome to night fail's official recap show and unofficial best friend food podcast join me meg bashwinner and fellow try hosts hal lublin and symphony sanders as we dissect all of the cool
