Starting point is 00:00:00 The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are back. I love that. I love that. Oh my gosh. Welcome. And last season's drama was just the tip of the iceberg. You're recording us? I am disgusted.
Starting point is 00:00:13 Never in a million years after everything we've been through did I think that you would reach out to our sworn enemy. We were friends. How could you do this to me? I don't trust her. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Wednesdays at 9 on Bravo or stream it on City TV Plus. I'm Sheryl Swoops. And I'm Tarika Foster-Brasby. And on our new podcast, we're talking about the
Starting point is 00:00:37 real obstacles women face day to day. Because no matter who you are, there are levels to what we experience as women. And T and I have no problem going there. Listen to Levels to This with Cheryl Swoops and Tariqa Foster-Brasby, an iHeart Women's Sports production in partnership with Deep Blue Sports and Entertainment. You can find us on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and I'm the host of On Purpose. My latest episode is with Jelly Roll. This episode is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had. We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from
Starting point is 00:01:17 being in and out of prison from the age of 13 to being one of today's biggest artists. I was a desperate delusional dreamer. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate delusional dreamer. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Trust me, you won't want to miss this one. Look, man. Where?
Starting point is 00:01:37 Oh, I see. Wow. Bowen, look over there. Wow, is that culture? Yes. Oh, my goodness. Wow. Las Culturistas.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Ding dong. Las Culturistas. Ding dong. Las Culturistas calling. You guys have been really, really, really just demanding more lists, more lists, more lists, more lists, more lists. Well, Diamond Girlies, fear not. Yeah. Here we are again. It's that time of the month, and I don't mean...
Starting point is 00:02:02 Don't be crass. Rent payment. Oh, you didn't think I was going to say that, did you? It's that time of the month, and I don't mean... Don't be crass. Rent payment. Oh, you didn't think I was going to say that, did you? Listen, if you were going to say what I thought you were going to say, you were going to say that time of the month, which is when periods happen. Now, that is medical. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:23 And speaking of medical, I think one of the best medical shows was Grey's Anatomy, wouldn't you say? Did you just say past tense? I guess I did. I shouldn't have done that. Oh yeah, oh my god, it really is. It really is. And Shonda,
Starting point is 00:02:31 Shonda is still doing it. Queen? Queen. I think it's Krista Vernoff now as the showrunner. Oh yeah, Krista Vernoff. Krista Vernoff.
Starting point is 00:02:39 She is also a legend in her own right. She's a legend. She wrote Into You Like a Train. Oh wow. She wrote that. She wrote Yesterday, which is the episode where McSteamy first comes into town. Oh wow. She's a legend. She wrote Into You Like a Train. Oh, wow. She wrote that. She wrote Yesterday, which is the episode where McSteamy first comes into town.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Oh, wow. She's written some classics. She probably got to write the word McSteamy for the first time. I wonder who in the room came up with McSteamy and McDreamy. That's so funny because the first time McSteamy is said, this is my level of Grey's Anatomy knowledge that really stops after season seven.
Starting point is 00:03:04 But season two, Into You Like a Train was the episode where Meredith is waiting for Derek to come at the bar. It's the episode after Pick Me, Choose Me, Love Me. And it's when one of the nurses
Starting point is 00:03:12 comes in to the ER and goes up to Meredith and says, McSteamy was looking for you. And she means, you mean McDreamy? She goes, no, I'm pretty sure
Starting point is 00:03:20 it was McSteamy. But McSteamy wasn't a character at the time. He existed, but he was not in the fold. I will say, when you look at them, he is McSteamy, but McSteamy wasn't a character at the time. He existed, but he was not in the fold. I will say, when you look at them, he is McSteamy, and then Derek is McDreamy.
Starting point is 00:03:32 I mean, that's just like... They nailed it. Yeah, they nailed that. Good casting. And remember when he came out of the shower and there was steam around him? That might have been something they planned out. Yeah. Oh my god, what a moment. Yeah, and the thing about McSteamy anddreamy is neither of them appears on our list of top 10 gray's anatomy characters seasons one through six or
Starting point is 00:03:52 seven forgot where we left off i forgot yeah me too i actually don't remember at all when i stopped watching but i know it was around six and seven because i think this is what happened i think the plane crash pushed me too far yeah oh you and I are so on the same level here. We're like, I don't think I can do this anymore. Now, I was for a second interested in revisiting. Right. Entering back into the stream of things, but then hearing how the show interpreted COVID
Starting point is 00:04:20 as, to hear Pat Regan describe it, is a disease where you walk down the beach and people who have died or have not died visit you on the beach. Confused about the reality of COVID-19. Having had COVID multiple times, I can't say that that's an experience I've had.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Well, you have it right now. Well, I'm coming out of it. I'm out of jail. I'm out of jail. Making a little joke about you being active COVID. Girl, I'm no longer seropositive. Oh! See, this is what I'm saying. This is one joke about you being active COVID. Girl, I'm no longer seropositive. Oh! See, this is what I'm saying. This is one of our most medical episodes yet. Medical episode.
Starting point is 00:04:49 And we keep sort of leaving the breadcrumbs, but I know what everyone wants us to do. They want us to just get into it already. But before we do, can I just, what does medicine mean to you? Getting better. I think medicine means
Starting point is 00:05:00 advancements for the world in technology. Means little pills. I think it means that, even if it's placebo. You know what I'm saying? Oh, as long as it's working. It's I'm taking care of me. And a lot of people don't have the gumption. No.
Starting point is 00:05:13 To take care of themselves. No. Many people out there are afraid of medicine. Anti-vaxxers. Anti-vaxxers. This is where we say it. Mm-mm. Can I just say, can we not get Jenny McCarthy on Watch What Happens Live?
Starting point is 00:05:26 That's my only note. Andy, if you're listening. Mm-mm. Can I just say, can we not get Jenny McCarthy on Watch What Happens Live? That's my only note. Andy, if you're listening. Send the text. This is why, this is the only reason why you don't watch The Masked Singer.
Starting point is 00:05:33 It's the only reason why. Yeah, because you're always saying, Bowen's always saying, oh my God, The Masked Singer looks so good. I need to support my friend Ken.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Yeah, and you're always like, The Masked Singer looks like the best show on TV and I just don't want to watch Jenny McCarthy. And Bowen is always like, all I want to do is watch The Masked Singer. I just want to support my close friends, Nicole friend Ken. Yeah, and you're always like, the Masked Singer looks like the best show on TV. I just don't want to watch Jenny McCarthy. And Bowen is always like, all I want to do is watch the Masked Singer.
Starting point is 00:05:47 I just want to support my close friends Nicole and Ken. Her name is Nicole! But you know, it is funny to see Jenny McCarthy always be like, is that Cher? Yeah. That's Cher. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:59 She's the one who misses the mark the most, I feel. You know what though? At this point, I think there are pretty famous people on there. Like, Demi Lovato was on there. That's right. Not competing, but just sort of slaying. Slaying.
Starting point is 00:06:09 I mean, Kandi Burruss' songs that season, Kandi Burruss slayed. She arrived hungry. And left full. And left full. Well, let's get into it. This is the top 10 Grey's Anatomy character seasons one through six or seven forgot where we left off. Number 10, Christina Yang. I bet you are shook.
Starting point is 00:06:27 This is a low placement. What do you think happened here? I think now that the seasons have built up, I think the way Christina left really shook people and left a tough taste in people's mouths. Not a bad one, just a tough one. How come they don't pen pal? How come they don't FaceTime?
Starting point is 00:06:46 Listen, we could talk about why they don't FaceTime. We could talk about why they don't keep in touch, but let's keep it positive. What do you think is so amazing about Christina?
Starting point is 00:06:57 Her ambition. Oh. Her hair. Her hair. Variety of men she dates. Virility. Virility. Virility. She was very virile.
Starting point is 00:07:07 She was fucking a lot. She wanted her nut pretty much multiple times a day. Looked amazing in a wedding dress. Because it's all... Because it's all me! Because it's all me! Complicated relationship
Starting point is 00:07:16 with her mother. I liked seeing that. Yes. Gave Meredith actually a nice foil to be like, you can be annoyed at your mom. You don't have to revere your mother if she's being
Starting point is 00:07:25 a lot. And Ellis Gray was a lot. She was a lot, and she does not appear on the list. But my last thing I want to say before we move on from Christina, if I were to move to Sweden, or Switzerland, wherever the fuck she goes, I would keep in touch with you. Because you're Meredith and I'm Christina.
Starting point is 00:07:42 I would not ever stop keeping in touch with you. If all of a sudden it's like, I can't even get arrested when it comes to you. And Meredith can't even get arrested when it comes to Christina. She can't. It's so sad. It's just ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:07:57 And how come Christina didn't appear in the COVID flashbacks on the beach? Yeah. I think there's something wrong here. Interesting. We're poking holes. We're poking a lot of holes. That's why Christine Yang
Starting point is 00:08:08 is number 10 on top 10 Grey's Anatomy characters seasons 1 through 6 or 7 forgot where we left off. Fell off. Lost Couch. Number 9.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Mandy Moore. We don't remember her character's name. That's not what's important. That's not what's important. What's important is that Mandy Moore appeared in two episodes.
Starting point is 00:08:27 More than two. Was she in more than two? She came back like over the course of like multiple seasons. Like she would come back. It was the shooting episode. And then like later on, either that season or in the next season, she came back. Yeah. And then it was the documentary episode.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Yes, it was the documentary. Where she loses her life. Oh, that was sad. That was one of the craziest, most random things to ever happen, is that Mandy Moore died in the documentary episode of Grey's Anatomy for like no reason. I said, not in the documentary episode. Not when we're trying to be, you know, all, this is not the right reference, but Ken Burns about it. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:05 You know what I mean? Bailey got a great moment there. Bailey got a great moment. Now, a lot of her scenes were opposite Miranda Bailey. Mm-hmm. Chandra Wilson. More on her later. More on her later.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Yeah. But Mandy, you know, watched some of these residents get fucking shot. It was not a good day. It was not a good day, and Mandy had to bring it. Yeah. Her A-game. She always does. She always does. She always does.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Mandy Moore, she's a superstar. Mandy Moore, we love you. And your character, Mandy Moore, in Grey's Anatomy was incredible. And that's why she's number nine on top ten Grey's Anatomy characters, seasons one through six or seven. Forgot where we left off. Lost Couch. Lost Couch.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Number eight, Izzy Stevens. Another low placement. This is going to shake up a lot of people when they see that not only is Christina solo, but Izzy is solo. I mean, look, again, we find out so much about her character while she's on the show,
Starting point is 00:09:59 but what's going on after she leaves the show? I need to know why they're not writing each of the letters in pen pal. We never see an email from Izzy. And guess what? When K after she leaves the show? I need to know why they're not writing each other letters in pen pal. We never see an email from Izzy. And guess what? When Karev leaves the show, more on him in a second. More on him. We find out that he's going and living with Izzy.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Did you know? I did know that. You told me. Karev leaves the show. He basically bails on this girl he's in a full relationship with. And it's like, psych, I got to go be with Izzy. The show making an escape hatch for these characters and stories with old characters
Starting point is 00:10:27 in a way that is completely out of nowhere is like, they were indulging in that for a while. Because with Christina, it was like, Burke all of a sudden is back in the picture and he's the one who convinces her to move. Karev leaves in a way that's completely out of character, leaves his job and his partner to go be with this woman who's
Starting point is 00:10:46 fucked him up. There's a lot going on. These characters are very complicated. And can I say something? We're sort of being, again, we're saying why Izzy's number eight. There's thousands of characters in the Greatest Anatomy universe and she's number eight. That is nothing to scoff at. She's one of the original five. And she gave us the pink dress. She gave us the
Starting point is 00:11:01 so I quit. She gave us her in a bikini model. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. In a lingerie ad. Yes. I mean, this is not to objectify. Izzy Stevens had one of the best set of knockers on network television ever.
Starting point is 00:11:17 She was a beautiful specimen. This is a pre-Christina Hendricks world. Oh, yeah. Pre-Christina Hendricks world. Oh yeah, pre Christina Hendricks world where we just hadn't seen anything like it. We hadn't seen anything like that and Izzy Stevens had gorgeous tits. Yeah, and we were just like little gay boys like I want to be like her.
Starting point is 00:11:36 I'm not a tits guy, but when I see Izzy Stevens. I'm not a tits guy. When I see Izzy Stevens I go. And that is why Izzy Stevens is number go, wah, wah, wee, wah. Wah, wah, wee, wah. And that is why Izzy Stevens is number eight on top ten
Starting point is 00:11:48 Grey's Anatomy characters season one through six or seven. Oh, we fell off. Lost culture. This fall on Bravo. It's time to turn up. Think you've seen it all?
Starting point is 00:12:01 I don't think you've been a good friend to me lately. We're friends like that. Who needs enemies? You ain't seen nothing yet. Here's to being dramatic. With the Real Housewives of Potomac. Oh my gosh, can I take this in? It's gonna be amazing. New York City.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Everyone is a gossip. No one gets out of here alive. Salt Lake City. We don't wear costumes, we wear fashion. And below deck sailing. You broke the rules and now you're here getting upset. Watch all new seasons on Bravo or stream it on City TV+. Let's have a real good time. I'm Cheryl Swoops, WNBA champ, three-time Olympian, and Basketball Hall of Famer.
Starting point is 00:12:34 I'm a mom and I'm a woman. I'm Tarika Foster-Brasby, journalist, sports reporter, basketball analyst, a wife, and I'm also a woman. And on our new podcast, we're talking about the real obstacles women face day to day. See, athlete or not, we all know it takes a lot as women to be at the top of our game. We want to share those stories about balancing work and relationships, motherhood, career shifts, you know, just all the s*** we go through. Because no matter who you are, there are levels to what we experience as women. And T and I, well, we have no problem going there.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Number seven. Number seven. Or, yeah, number seven. Ten, nine, eight, seven. Number seven. Number seven. Correct. Hot TB. Number seven. Karev. Hot TBH.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Yeah, but you know, it was unfair when McSteamy came because they had some scenes where Alex and McSteamy were together because that Alex storyline was like, maybe he was going to go into plastics. And it was cruel because I went, he doesn't hold a candle to McSteamy. No, I mean, the thing is like... It was not on the list.
Starting point is 00:15:03 But the thing is like, Karev was giving something different. He was giving something different. McSteamy was No, I mean, it was not on the list. But the thing is, like, Karev was giving something different. He was giving something different. McSteamy was giving sort of narcissist. Yeah. Karev was giving, like,
Starting point is 00:15:11 well, I mean, Bad boy. He was, like, bad boy. He was, like, on the wrong side of the track. You know what I mean? Like, he fucking
Starting point is 00:15:15 fucked it up. He was so good in this role. He was great. Justin Chambers. We love him. We hope you're wealthy, wealthy, wealthy.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Remember him from The Wedding Planner? Yes. Oh, but see, I feel like he just, like, tapped out of grays and he was like, I'm good. I don't have to do this. He's fucking rich. Right. Do we know what he's doing?
Starting point is 00:15:32 Is he on something else? I don't know. We have a little computer in our hands that we can use at all times. Unlike you guys. I'm just saying, Justin Chambers now. What is he doing? Justin Chambers now. What is he doing? Justin Chambers now. I can not type.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Okay, I just, after three times. Did you find it? Well, he's 53. He looks unbelievable. Oh my God, good for him. Oh my God. And this, what is Justin Chambers doing now? First post Grey's Anatomy gig was playing Marlon Brando
Starting point is 00:16:03 in the Paramount Plus series, The Offer, about the making of The Godfather. That's great casting. He doesn't have any upcoming projects listed on his IMDb as of August 2023. Well, you know, it's been the strike. It's been the strike. Also, him as like an aged up,
Starting point is 00:16:16 quote unquote, middle-aged Brando is perfect. Period. Period. And that is why Karev is number seven on top 10 Grey's Anatomy characters season one through six or seven. Forgot where we fell off. Lost Cult.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Number six, Dr. Bailey. This is really the birth of Vajayjay. I was just going to say Vajayjay. She gave us Vajayjay. And to the point where Oprah was saying it, that's when you knew it was in the zeitgeist. When Oprah is saying it, it's in the zeitgeist. When she has her favorite things and when one of her favorite words
Starting point is 00:16:47 became vajayjay, that was when you know that Dr. Bailey was going to be number six. Check under your seats. Everyone's going home with a vajayjay. Everyone got some vajayjay! Like, that was the impact of Dr. Bailey. Oh man. She really remember? She actually could sing.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Remember the musical episode? She gave some good vocals. And Chandra Wilson has directed some episodes of the show. Still on it. Still on it. Wow. She is wealth. She is wealth. She is power. She is Dr. Bailey who was
Starting point is 00:17:20 the Nazi, famously. Oh yeah, she was famously the Nazi. Oh my god, they. She was famously the Nazi. Oh, my God. They refer to her as a Nazi. I don't quite, I don't think that name, even back then,
Starting point is 00:17:29 I was like, this doesn't really work for the character. Like, why do they call her that? Because she's, like, hard? I think she's just a character. You know what I mean? Like, if I was them, I wouldn't be calling her a Nazi.
Starting point is 00:17:38 I'd be like, she's a character and she's got a tough job. I'd be like, well, that's one of the best residents in the program. I'd be like, hey, knock it off. Because she actually has a really tough job.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Yeah. And you know what? Things aren't always great at home, which we'll find out. Step one, you say we need to talk. All this is why Dr. Bailey is number six on top 10 Grey's Anatomy characters, seasons one through six or seven forgot where we fell off lost culture number five Christina Ricci when Christina Ricci I'm only 24 years old I can't I can't oh god that moment I'll never forget when Christina Ricci guest starred on Grey's Anatomy
Starting point is 00:18:20 as Christina Ricci again someone whose character name we could never hope to remember, but obviously it is so iconic, like Christina Ricci with her hand in that goddamn body on that goddamn bomb. When she ran out of that room, she ran into our hearts. Never stand into the right. As she goes left, you stay right.
Starting point is 00:18:43 And sings and blows and sails around. Oh no, that's not what played. The song that plays during that moment. What's his face blowing up? Yeah. That's Kyle Chandler blowing up. The song that plays when Christina pulls her hand out is a Coldplay song. Does Lauren know you have Chris Martin? That one's got a Chris. Christina Ricci really made a gorgeous meal out of that role. Eight. Eight. Set the scene for Yellow Jackets. Oh yeah. This was the door opener.
Starting point is 00:19:19 This was the door opener. We didn't really know about Christina Ricci before that. This was her breakout. Yeah. Wednesday Addams. Found. Who? Not. Found not. Found not.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Found wanting. Found her not. That is why Christina Ricci is number five on top ten Grey's Anatomy characters seasons one through six or seven. Forgot where we fell off. Lost Gulch. Number four. Denny. Denny.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Oh, Denny. I mean, listen. I would have fucked that patient, too. I would have been fucking that patient. And I would have cut the LVAD wire. Oh, I would have done it. Remember the moral conundrum of the LVAD wire? Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Boy, oh, boy. But, you know, Denny was so tragic, obviously. But also, what's tragic is they never did fuck. They never did fuck. I mean, that's the thing is it's like, I think Izzy was kind of fucked in the head. Oh, yeah. She was messed up. She grew up in a trailer park.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Oh, she. And that's a recipe. I'm sorry, not to be classist, but that's a hard life. That's really hard. Grew up in a single parent household. Yeah, the mom's up there. And I'm not being, you know, but it's hard. She's had to work so hard to get through medical school,
Starting point is 00:20:29 and then she meets the love of her life, and he's gonna die if they fuck. And so in order to hopefully save his life so they could potentially fuck at some point, she cuts the LVAD off. She kills him in a way to move him up the donor list. Because she didn't think about blood clots. Didn't think about blood clots. She goes, I don't know Because she didn't think about blood clots. Didn't think about blood clots. She goes, I don't know why I didn't think about blood clots.
Starting point is 00:20:49 They think it was a blood clot. That is good TV. It was really good, bro. And that is why Denny is number four on top 10 Grey's Anatomy characters season one through six or seven. Forget where we fell off. Lost Gulch. Number three. Meredith Grey.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Wow. You don't even have the show without Meredith Grey. I guess they do now. Right, they do now, but for a while there, you needed her in the mix, and it didn't feel like a Grey's Anatomy episode without her saying in voiceover, at the end of the day, you know?
Starting point is 00:21:26 Does Lauren know that you, I bet Lauren does know you have an ellen pompeo i've tried to get my ellen on the show every week and it's never happened you are so mad you're yelling oh my god you have to get your ellen on the show i'm trying remember when you did her podcast oh my god i went to her house i went to her gorgeous house i couldn't believe it that is the home of television's brightest star and you were in it she is rich that's all i'll say yeah she takes a bath in la mer oh my god all this is why meredith Grey is number three on top ten Grey's Anatomy characters
Starting point is 00:22:06 seasons one through six or seven forgot where we fell off. Lost Couch. Number two. Callie Torres. Before there was Che, they were Callie.
Starting point is 00:22:17 They were Callie. She, her. She was living in the damn hospital. That was cuckoo bananas. I remember when she would dance in her underwear. It's like, girl, you're at work. That was cuckoo bananas. I remember when she would dance in her underwear. It's like, girl, you're at work.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Was that a wig? No. She just has all that gorgeous hair? I think that was... At the time. She was coming out of Spamalot like, oh, I have these gorgeous locks. I'm not touching these.
Starting point is 00:22:37 No, no, no, no, no. Iconic that she was so good in Spamalot that the ABC execs were like, pick whatever show you want to be on. Yeah. And she picked correctly. She picked correctly. And then literally Shonda and Kristen, Betsy Beer is ABC execs were like, pick whatever show you want to be on. Yeah, and she picked correctly. She picked correctly and then literally Shonda and Kristen, Betsy Beers all had to be like,
Starting point is 00:22:49 I guess we got to write this new character in. They were like, I guess that's how it works now. The network just says pick a show and now I have to write a character? Hmm, better come hungry and eat because they created Calliope Torres. Grey's Anatomy was, I'm going to say,
Starting point is 00:23:06 very good at making names. Making fictional character names. I mean, Taylor Swift named the cat after Meredith Grey. I remember when they played White Horse. And then she wrote on her MySpace, she says, I dropped to my knees crying. I said, this is one of the best
Starting point is 00:23:21 moments of my life, the highlights of my career. And if only I could go into a time machine and go back to that time and say, Taylor, you have many bigger things coming. Watch out at the VMAs. Kanye. Watch out Taylor at the VMAs. Someone is coming
