And Barry Rosenfeld. I need to start drinking alcohol. Now go to sleep, we. Hey, everyone. Welcome back to another episode of the Mention It All podcast. I'm Dylan Hafer. And I'm Barry Rosenfeld. And it's Monday.

How we, how we do in Barry? Another weekend quarantine paradise. Happy Monday. Yeah, I woke up today, like ready to go. Very energized and I'm just excited for the week. That'll end in probably like an hour, but I'm just going to hold on to it as long as I could. I don't think I could have woken up less ready to go. I still feel like I'm waking up a little bit, but we're here.

We're ready to talk about Bravo. What week are we on? What week of quarantine? Six? Of quarantine? Oh, seven? Seven? Six.

I don't know anymore. I don't know. How's your weekend? Did you watch anything notable? It was good. Okay, it's becoming a problem on Monday mornings. I don't remember what I do during the weekend. I know I had a Zoom bridal shower yesterday, and that was fun.

I didn't watch anything really. I didn't review anything like old episodes. Nothing was really on for me. This week I kind of took like a break. Oh, duh. Was that this weekend? I watched Outer Banks. I don't know if I said that already. I don't know. I don't know. Bravo's just always on in the background. Is Outer Banks like Southern Charmed but scripted? Okay. Absolutely not. Outer Banks is a show on Netflix and it's a mix between the movie The Goonies and like the O.C slash like One Tree Hill. It's a little young. It was good, but it's not something where I'd be willing to watch again. They might come out with another season that I'll watch, but I'm not like watching. this season again. It was a wanted to do for me.

I suggested, though, if you're bored, it's an easy watch. So anyway, what did you watch this weekend? I'm still finishing up my summer house binge. I'm almost done with season two. And then I also, just because my soul needed it, I watched a couple old episodes of Orange County on Saturday. That's always good. I watched in season eight when Tamara has the party at Cut Fitness before it's open. And she drags Alexis's chair out. So it's when Tamara, Tamara's not on good terms with Vicky, but she invites Vicky. And then Vicki asks if she can bring Alexis.

And then Alexis asks if she can bring Lydia, who the other girls haven't even met yet. And it just turns into a cluster fuck. And it's really, really a joy. And then ends with Alexis in the limo screaming, I had to quote Xanax for it, Lydia. Right. Isn't it so funny how there are iconic moments in Housewives history? Like, you just said that episode, and I knew what was happening, what you were talking about instantly. I don't know if that's embarrassing or like educational.

It's like a language that we speak. And like I also yesterday watched the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Poker Night, which is funny because poker night is very different from game night. You have to know your different nights. Remember the infamous bunco party in the OC? Oh, yeah. There's been a couple bunko parties. Was one of the bunkal parties when Vicki found out her mom died? That was at Heather's house.

I don't know what the party was, but I know that was in the closet of someone's house and she found out. It was in the kitchen. Like abruptly said it. I was like, oh, my God. I feel bad for laughing about that, but it's just so wild that it happened on camera like that. I know. Okay, so today we've got a few things to get to.

We're going to talk about the new episode of Shaz of Sunset. A few thoughts on the family karma season finale, but first we're going to talk about some tea that has come out in the wake of the Atlanta reunion, which is very interesting, to say the least. Yeah. So they recorded their resume on Thursday last week. They were recording for 12 hours. Andy has said it's going to be three parts.

And we found out that Yovana was invited to the reunion. And she made an appearance. And apparently the women didn't really know ahead of time that Yovana was going to be there, which honestly, I kind of forgot she existed. Right. I have a question. Do you think if the reunion was live, like not Zoom, do you still think she would have been invited?

Or do you think this was just like another kind of story that was easy to do on Zoom? I think they would have invited her because, it sounds like she brought some pretty major tea, and I have a feeling the producers knew about that. Right. But so she apparently, when Nini found out that Yovana got invited, she allegedly sent her a cease and desist order to not talk about certain things on the reunion, which Nini reportedly has a history of doing that to some of her co-stars for better or worse. We should make a game. Who, what housewife has sent cease and desist to other housewives? Let's see, we've got Denise.

Remember last season of O.C. when Vicki sued Kelly Dodd during the season? Yeah, they literally just sue each other. It's almost like just unfriending someone on Instagram. Like, they just throw out cease and desist as easy as that. But anyway, continue with our Yovana, friend. You better not say anything I don't like because I'll be suing you live on the podcast. And I will send you a cease and to six. The next podcast is just going to be me talking because Barry legally won't be allowed to open her mouth.

So basically, as you might recall earlier this season, there was the whole snake gate thing when allegedly there was an audio recording of Cynthia talking shit. And about NeNe. We didn't know who the snake was that had the recording. Everybody kind of thought it was Yovana and that eventually turned out to be the case. Um, but so, yeah, yeah, apparently Yovana is now claiming that there never was an audio recording and that Nini just made it up to stir up the shit and that she went along with it because it was like her ticket onto the show. Yovana, of course, is that bitch from Clark last season. She kind of popped up and then this season we didn't even really expect to see her. but then so apparently

Yovana showed up on the reunion Nini like didn't say anything to her and left after that segment unclear how that went down but then Nini released this long ass screenshot of a text apparently from Yovana saying that... Like very long it looks like a chain text

message, one of those chain letters like I didn't even know that one text could be that long I thought it would break it up into like one of two, two of two but so in the text Yovana is saying that she doesn't think she should play the recording because it was recorded

illegally and Cynthia could take action against her for having this illegal recording and whatnot so essentially Nini is saying that Yovana did have the recording and that she's lying about that and I'm just curious like does anyone really care about this anymore

I certainly do not but here's the funny thing. Do you think Nini texted Yovana saying not to share it, whatever, to look out for Cynthia as a good friend, like make sure Yovana doesn't get sued or to look out for herself? You know, there's a lot to think about there. That's a good question. There's a lot to think about. And also, my friend Steve, who's at Faces by Bravo on Instagram, his account's really funny. Yesterday he did an Instagram live, he did an Instagram live with Yovana and it was like, oh, she's ready to spill all the tea, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And then she came on and it was the weakest tea because you can tell that she really wants to come back next season. Right. And so she's scared of like actually telling anybody anything because she's like, I don't know. You're going to have to watch. I don't know. Brandy on our last episode, spilled whatever she wanted. because she's not on the shit.

Like, she's like, fuck it. Like, I don't, I'm not coming back anyway. But Yvana's, like, hanging by a thread. It's funny because Yovana's, like, trying to be all coy and, like, not give all these answers. And literally every comment in the Instagram live is, she'll never get a peach. Oh, that's funny. It was, it was a little bit brutal.

Well, because I feel like that's the only, like, she's not, is she relevant to the other girls in general other than sneaky? Maybe, but enough to get a peat. I don't know. Well, Steve asked her if she keeps in touch with any of the other women. And she goes, well, Eva, because we know each other from college, which is okay. And then she's like, the other one's not so much. But I have a feeling that will be changing.

I'm like, girl, why? But let's just get back to the reunion because this, I guess we'll see how this turns out, even though it's funny when things get recorded and then things like this pop up in real time. So it's like, well, if it's on the internet right now, why do we have to wait for the reunion? But I'm still very interested to see both sides of it and how it plays out because I kind of am Team Nini on this one. You know, I strangely feel like I'm Team Nini on this one too.

I don't, I'm not like a Nini stand by any stretch. Like I definitely think she's wrong a lot of the time. But in this situation, it's like, I feel like Yovana is more than a little bit thirsty. I mean, I kind of think of how I would act if like, well, please, I would definitely just be a housewife. But I'm saying like if I had that like to go, I would do whatever I could to get on the show also, I think. Right. Okay. Should we talk about Shaws of Sunset? Yes, because we're still in Hawaii. We're still in Hawaii. And I actually really enjoyed the episode on Friday.

And then last night, I was watching Family Karma, which we'll talk about in a second. But there was randomly just a commercial that was like this Friday on the season finale of Shaz of Sunset. And I'm like, wait, what? I was like, Dylan, we were texting about it. We were like, wait, I didn't see that. It was almost like we were pissed bra, but didn't let us know. I feel like there's still so much going on and that how is that all happening in one more episode.

But I guess we're getting ahead of ourselves because this episode. was interesting in Hawaii, definitely. Well, we saw, again, a little bit of where a fight broke out, but they're still not giving us everything we want to know. But I thought it was funny how the episode started off with like two excursions. Like half, I'm assuming the production told each person where to go, but half the group went surfing and half the group went to a bee farm, which one would you choose? Because I would choose surfing.

Surfing. And then I would choose surfing. and then I would do what Destiny and Paulina did, which is just sit on the surfboard and tan. Correct. But it's funny because I would not wear what MJ wore to go surfing, but she rocked the shit out of that thong. But she's just so funny with that.

I love her so much. But then back to the bee group, Gigi went to the bee farm because she claimed she was a bee in a past life. So there's just so much going on with these, whatever you want to call excursions, I don't know. But then we got into like conversations within each group. And I'm like, guys, can we just get to like the Resa MJ drama? Because this is just wasting time for me.

I did find. Okay. So the main messiness of this week was that so Paulina wanted to go surfing. Mike wanted to go to the bees. Again, this is Paulina's birthday trip. And so Mike is like, okay, so we'll go to the bees. And Pauline is like, no, I'm going to go surfing. and so MJ is watching this and she's like

like Mike's whole thing in his relationships is that he is controlling and so she then takes it upon herself to have a little friendly chat with Paulina while Mike is gone and be like yeah you know I've noticed that I don't really like like the way he talks to you is kind of controlling and like you know Persian guys that's why I married a white guy

I'm so happy I found my white guy like all these Persian guys suck and Paulina immediately immediately calls Mike while he's still at the beef farm and is like, yo, what the fuck is MJ talking about? And I just like, oh, the messiness. It kind of makes my heart saying. I think that this was done in a way to make M.J. look worse in this situation. I think they're all looking for a way to hate on her even more. I get it. She's not that close with Paulina. So she shouldn't she's and they're kind of i don't know if i would say newly in a relationship but they're still

working on it because that age gap they really do have more things to work on their relationship than others and like i don't know i don't think that mj was being malicious the way they showed it i think she really was just saying how she felt even fast forwarding to her apology she went right up to paulina and was like i'm i'm sorry for what i said her if i offended you that was fine but then when she went further into the apology, I was like, oh, God, you should have just stopped there. I do think it was maybe blown a little bit out of proportion, but I didn't buy her excuse that she and Paulina were just bonding about over their guys. Right. But then I love when she comes out onto this like dirt path to find Paulina after dinner wearing like fluffy slippers.

I'm like, oh God, these people are truly too much. I know. But it's funny because because they showed clips. And, like, it's true. Mike is like that, and he didn't deny it. But I guess he just didn't want that coming from MJ, who he's not on the best terms with, which is understandable. But Gigi and Mike were on Watch What Happens Live this week.

Gigi said she's due in a few days, by the way. So we might have something else to talk about for Shaz in the middle of this week. Who knows? But Mike was talking about his relationship with Pauline's children and how much he adores and loves them. And I think they're still going very, very strong, which I'm happy about. But so then at the end of the episode, we had MJ and Reza having another heart-to-heart conversation.

There we go. And so they're still in a good place right now on this road. It's like a ticking time bomb for us. We're like waiting basically. Because MJ and they basically came to this agreement that it's like, it's all good. We'll drop the legal shit. And then it'll be fine. but of course Tommy and Adam are not there and they don't actually feel that way and Tommy and

Adam are like the ones that actually really matter in this situation and so so I think that's what we're going to see next week which is strange that it's the season finale already but right right but also can we just go back because I forgot to mention this at the table when this fight like erupted with MJ and Paulina and Mike and it came to a head when MJ got up and excused herself, the table at that point defended MJ. So like, why wouldn't you do that while she was kind of still like sitting there and make her feel a little bit better? But enough with that. Let's talk about the awkwardness between Gigi and Nima's kiss because it was cringe-worthy to say the least. I don't know. I kind of am into it. Oh my God. It's so funny. Like I love

how friend zoned he is. She's like, I'm not sexually attracted to you. Let's. just make that clear. Nima is one of those people where like every part of me knows that I shouldn't be attracted to him, but then there's like that little part that's like, oh, he's really cute. He is, he's not like a bad looking guy. He's just like not masculine enough for me. Okay. Too much teeth for sure. I mean, that was his doing. He chose that life, you know? Right. Okay, so really quick, I just want to touch on family karma, which had their C-WRour finale last night, really hoping that it's just a season finale and not a series finale, because I don't know, we'll see.

Shows like this can have a hard time getting past season one on Bravo, but it's really just been, it's been a fun show to watch and it feels so different from anything else that's on. You didn't watch the finale last night, did you? Dylan, I'm sick and tired of you, assuming of what I watch and don't watch. I made time for it this morning. Oh my gosh I'm gonna prep for this show baby

Okay I cried like twice I'll be honest Okay I did not I don't know it's like Seeing the relationships with their parents And just like Kind of this like genuine stuff Going on in their life

It's really sweet and I just hope we get to see more Because I've heard a lot of people saying good things about it too So I don't know Did you cry at the part where Risha's dad forgot Vishal's mom's name at the engagement party because, oh my God. That was so funny, though, because it was so genuine.

Like, he was like, I don't know what his bitches. But I've been to an Indian wedding. I've been to one last year, actually. It was the best wedding I have ever been to. And I don't know if it's because I don't, it was my only Indian wedding I've ever been to. So it was, like, culturally different for me. But even last night watching them, the guys,

guys learn that it's all real. all funny. I don't know why. I don't know if, um, like, does Risha even like, Michelle? I don't know. Unclear. Unclear. And from, from a light Instagram stalking, it looks like they are not married yet. So, um, you know, if there's a season two, maybe we'll get more info. That's interesting. That's very interesting because that's a lot of time and money and energy and everything goes into that because Indian weddings typically are a few days long. Well, and they filmed the show in like late 2018, so it's been a while. Really?

Yeah. Why, do you know why there was such a gap, like for it airing or just because it fit in the calendar that way? I think with new shows like that, sometimes Bravo picks it up, but they don't, there's no real sense of urgency because there's not like a fan base already waiting for it. Right, right. I don't know, but I'm excited. I'm pretty sure this week we're getting a below-deck.

announcement, which I'm very excited about. So something new on the horizon to look forward to at least. Well, yeah, we have a few things to look forward to, but we really need this quarantine to end sooner rather than later. I hope everyone is staying safe and home and protecting themselves because I saw somebody else post too. Like, if you don't wear a mask, a lot of people listening to might not know that masks are now, like, by law, you have to wear them in certain states. So, like, if you don't wear one,

you're not just affecting you, but you're affecting other people. So we hope all of our Bravo liberties are staying safe. I saw some photos of the beaches in Orange County this weekend, because it was like 90 degrees. And I feel like if I had zoomed in far enough, I would have seen some familiar Bravo faces. But it's so funny. I feel like Alexis Bolino is like soaking up the sun right now. 100. I mean, I would be. It's freezing where I am.

I would be definitely on the beach, just like away from people. When I go to the beach, I set up a circle around me anyway, so no one comes close to me. Barry's been socially distancing at the beach for years. Yes, no, for real.
