With Dylan Hafer Who go check me boo And Barry Rosenfeld I need to start drinking alcohol Now go to sleep week Everyone Welcome back to another episode of the Mention It All podcast

I'm Dylan Hafer And I'm Barry Rosenfeld What a day to be in America We had a fun little incident yesterday that it feels weird to be talking about housewives, but here we are. Yeah, in other news, it was my birthday, so that was exciting. Wow.

And then everyone was texting me and was like, wow, your birthday was a little bit taken over. And I was like, just a little bit, just a little bit. At least because we're in, you know, COVID time still, at least it was going to be kind of like a lame birthday anyway. like it's not like you were having like some big party and then it was like oh this is weird right well well I'm also not going to be super enthusiastic today like I usually am because my mouth is in pain because I had a bit of a procedure yesterday oh my god wait how are you doing I'm doing fine I'm just a little uncomfortable but here we are because like Dylan said we do not take time off of Bravo So we do not.

I mean, true to that thesis, we have three different episodes we have to get to today. We're going to quickly brush on below deck a little bit because we can't not. And then we have the Real House of Dallas premiere that was on Tuesday night and, of course, Salt Lake City. So below deck this week, not a lot happened. Of course, we still have Francesca and Elizabeth who are, you know, they're just not going to get along at this point. And it is what it is. And I don't think I don't think Elizabeth's getting fired either. So I was just going to say like comparing things like to people that we have seen.

I know we've mentioned this before like being let go. It is just wild that she can continue making the mistake. She's making and pissing people off and just like what are the standards here for keeping a job? Yeah. It kind of feels like maybe at some point there was like an executive decision made that was like Elizabeth. going to stay regardless of what's happening. I don't know. They're like, we literally can't find another stow, so like we have to keep her. So it's a pandemic. We can't really fly anyone in right now. So, but the main thing that of note that happens this week is we have these new charter guests who

are boat people. We hear a lot about this that everyone's dreading having boat people on the boat because, you know, they ask for too much, they know too much. They think they can do it better. And Dolores, who's one of the primary charter guests, is just fucking hammered the whole time. Like, a hammered is like an understatement. It's like she hurt like, um, I, I, it was embarrassing. I don't have words. Yeah, I don't know how to explain it. I feel like there's, it's funny because sometimes when they're on these charters, it's like,

oh, like, they'll be talking about the guests and they're like, oh, they've been drinking since 1 p.m. And I think about it. I'm like, well, if I was on this all expenses paid yacht, I would be drinking since 1 p.m. But there's a difference between like, oh, like, we've been like, we had some drinks at lunch and then, like, we had a, like, some drinks in the after. Like, you can drink throughout the day, but these people clearly have been, like, taking down drinks left and right since 1 p.m. And they've been, like, legitimately drinking champagne, just champagne. And you can't, that's not how you drink champagne. You can't, like, do that. And it showed. It definitely showed. I haven't been able to drink champagne like that since I was in college. I can't. do it anymore. That happened to me when I drink

champagne. I remember those like remember because we haven't been to bottomless brunches in quite some time but this this one place who will remain nameless in New York City because multiple people have gotten sick there but I don't even know if it's open anymore but they had this option really quick I'll talk about it. You can either get bloody Mary this, this or a bottle of champagne and I chose

bottle of champagne because I was like it's I'll get the drunkest fat. It's a bottle. Yeah, just give it. Give me a I did. I got very ill. Very ill. Yeah. Like Dolores. Like Dolores. So Dolores is, you know, they're at this really lovely dinner that this Gatsby dinner that they've invited the captain to. Rachel once again knocks it out of the park. Yeah. I was very impressed. I mean, they're clearly very drunk at dinner. But then after dinner, Dolores is on the swim platform and it's pitch black outside. She is like we've said, beyond wasted decides she wants to go for a swim. And everyone's telling you. There's literally a shark in the water. Not like a great white shark, but like a shark, it's a shark. You know, like, it's not going to eat her, but it could bite her or something, I guess. I don't know.

But so Captain Lee is like, don't fucking go in the water. Like, don't fucking go in the water. You can't do that. And everyone's like, Dolores, don't go in the water. And then all of a sudden, Dolores is in the water. Like a swan dive into the water in a white dress. everything went wrong. It's like a super weird scene because there's this light coming off of the boat into the water.

So it's like this glowing water in the dark. And this like drunk middle-aged woman is like treading water while everyone's yelling at her. And Captain Lee is like your charter just ended. And we obviously there's a cliffhanger. Well, Captain Lee was like we've seen Captain Lee like angry before. But this was on another level because like it is true. It's nighttime. She's wasted.

and like she can get lost if she goes under. And like that's their responsibility. But the thing is she, what pissed him off more, I think is that she was literally just in the water, like, frolicking, just like staring at him. Basically,

it was like a kick in the face because she was basically like, what are you going to do? I'm just in the water enjoying life. And it was like extremely disrespectful. Right. She was even after the point where it was obvious that, I mean,

it was obvious before she jumped in, but even afterward when it kind of escalated, she still was like, you know, when you're, you get to that point of drunk where you're like, everything seems funny, even if it's like actually bad. And yeah, it's just not a good luck. We'll see. I mean, at the end of the episode, he's like, we're going back to the doc, like, get it on the boat. Like, I don't know. We'll see. Yeah, I think, I feel like they've ended charters before, but I mean, I feel it's up to him. and I don't know what Captain Lee says goes. So don't fuck it up.

I kind of hope he does just like for the drama. I know. I want to see Dolores like crying the next morning. Like what did I do? Well, I'm sorry. And one more point. Like it's, they were all. The entire charter was inside just like having fun.

Just talking like after dinner. So it's like if you know your friend is like that, someone bring her to the room. Like why would no one be responsible for this adult, I should say? But anyway. Yeah. It's weird. Okay, so we'll see what happens next week on Below Deck.

Let's get into the Real Houseways of Dallas premiere. I'm curious before we talk about some specific points, what was your overall feeling? Did you enjoy it? Are you excited for this season? Where are you at with Dallas? I did enjoy it. I was texting you during it because there's a little bit of confusion. I was like, what is this?

It was very weird. I remember they did show it early. So when, I don't know if any of you guys watched it live, I watched it live. and it kept saying never before seen footage, which I was like, duh, it's a premiere. Like, this has never been seen before. And it just started off for me very slow. So the first few minutes,

I actually was a little disappointed, but I was like, you know what? This is going to get better. Maybe they're just easing into it because it is the pandemic. They don't know what the hell they're doing. But I enjoyed it. I enjoyed meeting Tiffany. I think she's like definitely a different vibe

from what we've seen on this franchise before. but yeah Cameron's just like not real and I thoroughly enjoy watching her on TV. I agree. I'm liking Cameron's. I feel like the first season, maybe two seasons that Cameron was on the show, it was almost like we didn't know how to feel about her because it's like, is this like an act?

Like who is this woman? Like whatever. And I feel like we finally are to the point where it's like Cameron has like settled into the group enough that. that it's like, I really feel like this is who she is as a person. Right. And she can let loose sometimes, but like obviously she just is who she is. I agree.

I really like Tiffany also. When you think about it, we haven't had a lot of like career driven women on Dallas, like, with the exception of DeAndra. And I guess Carrie Duber was sort of in that mold too. Like Tiffany is. And the anesthesiologist. I was like, what are you doing on this show, Tiffany? A whole ass MD. Like, she is a literal doctor.

I was like, you made a wrong turn. What are you doing? Um, Bravo. It's interesting. We get our introduction to her through Mama Dee. Like, so we're at D. We're at D's house where Dandra's brought some takeout and they're hanging out in the backyard, which, by the way, her house looks like a country club.

I don't understand it. And Tiffany shows up. And Deandra's like, my mom introduced me to Tiffany and said, you're going to love her. And I'm like, wait, wait, wait, Mama Dee is the one who brought Tiffany into the group. Partially also, why I was confused also. I was like, they didn't really introduce us to her yet. So I was like, who is she? How did they know?

And then they were joking about them being sisters, which I knew was a joke. But I was like, wait, they're like really talking about that. Is that how they know each? Like, what is Dee? Like, what's happening? And they never said anything. But it was very. it felt like Dee really loved Tiffany a little bit more than somebody else at the

well yeah I mean luckily for Deandra D finally coughed up some cash and gave her a hundred thousand dollars even though she said she never would um I do one thing I like about Tiffany so far is that she seems like she actually um is a part of the group like she fits in with the group um later we have this pool party at Stephanie's house and immediately kind of the whole group is pretty jelled together. Whereas like we've been seeing on Atlanta, I've talked about how it feels like Drew is kind of like disconnected from most of the group. And like you can tell that she was kind of just like cast on the show and maybe new one person. But whereas I feel like we've only seen one episode, of course, but Tiffany feels like a little

more of an organic casting edition, which I always appreciate. Totally. It's always so awkward for me also watching. Mama Dee and Deandra together because Mama Dee was like, oh, nice bit. Is that new? Where'd you get? How much was that? And I was like, and pardon me, I was like,

my mom does that to me. Like, I'm not kidding. She literally did it to me last night. She literally was like, how much did you pay for that necklace? And I was like, it's so funny. But then they're just older. Like, Deandra's older than me, obviously.

So it was just funny seeing like a mother-daughter dynamic that that still happens. Like, no matter what age you are, like your mother is going to be like, we need every detail here. Well, and it's funny because, it's funny because, like, my mom will do that, but I only see her, like, a few times a year when it's not COVID even, because we don't live close together. So she'll be like, she'll be like, oh, is this new? I'm like, mom, everything is new. I haven't seen you in six months.

Like, I'm not wearing, like, the same shirt that I wore last time you saw me. Like, I've bought clothes. This episode is brought to you by Prime. Obsession is in session. And this summer, Prime Originals have everything you want. Steamy romances, irresistible love stories, and the book to screen favorites you've already read twice. Off campus, L, every year after, the love hypothesis, Sterling Point, and more. Slow burns, second chances, chemistry you can feel through the screen.

Your next obsession is waiting. Watch only on Prime. Speaking of buying clothes, shall we talk about Cameron's, some people. say garage sale, some people say state sale, which it was very much an estate sale. But I just have to point something out, which I don't know if you caught on to this, but at Mama Dee's house, they were like, you know, how they always talk about where they live. And they're like, oh, my God, they were like embarrassed, which I was like, get over yourself. And then their housekeeper came over and they were like, have you ever been to a garage sale? And I was like,

that is so, like inappropriate. Like, what, first of all, what differences that make anyone can go to a garage sale, like, it doesn't matter. But they were like, oh, not in this neck of the woods. Also, okay, I will say, like, where, when I was growing up, sometimes a garage sale would be, like, a thing that the kids did, like, almost like a lemonade stand. Like, their parents would just be like, okay, like, yeah, we can do a yard sale. Like, it's not like, it's not like, oh, like, we had to, like, set this up in the, in the yard to, like, scrounge together a few dollars. Like, no, it's just, like, something to do. Right. I think Cameron was doing that. She doesn't need the money, obviously.

She wasn't doing that. And of course, she was so happy with $23,000. She said she made, which is compared to the pricing of everything of hers. I feel like that was like nothing. But she was like, you mean $23,000. So Cameron's house situation is interesting. So I guess before quarantine, they were like, they were under contract on their dream house and we're going to sell their current house, but then the buyer or the seller pulled out or the buyer.

I don't know. Either way, she is having this big, let's just say garage sale. And this is, it's kind of fun. I don't know if we've ever seen one of these on Housewives before. Like, it's a very like, I like, it's kind of like a creative activity. She had a great turnout, I should say. It was down the entire block. And I did notice they had little pieces of tape like six feet apart, like from each other. I was like, oh, that's nice. I also appreciated. I mean, granted, we don't know how seriously to take whatever precautions they're taking on these shows, but right off the bat, they asked Stephanie in her interview, like, if it was okay to be hugging people. And she's like, look, we're filming a TV show. We're all getting tested. Like, this is a, we're in like a COVID-free zone. I don't know how, like, accurate that actually is. But I appreciate that they're kind of like putting almost a disclaimer on the beginning of the season. Just so it's like, I don't, because I don't want to have to think about COVID every second that I'm watching these. shows. So I feel like I'm fine with when they're in like a small group setting kind of like

being like, okay, yeah, sure. Yeah, they can all be inside at the house and it's like not that big of a deal. I, it's kind of nice. Yeah, but it was awkward watching court wear whatever the hell he was wearing another visor situation. But this one was completely just up over his eyes. And I was like, oh my God, are these masks? Are you wearing them as a mask? I just don't know. So it's like, part of me is like either wear it or don't. Like,

don't make the effort and it just be wrong. Either wear it or don't wear it. Right. They clearly have some like, they clearly have some guidelines about like when you're in public or whatever. And when I say, don't wear it. It's where it.

That wasn't an option. Right. It's just weird to see. It's like if you're going to have it on your head, put it on. Like I, but yeah, the garage show was fun.

Cameron, of course, is ridiculous. I will never be over the fact that she bought her like little daughter a $10,000 bed. That is just like still the funniest thing to me. Sorosky crystals on the bed. Also, we didn't really talk about, but she has a new dog.

Her dog named Fancy. And it's weird that we got like this big long scene in the season premiere about her dog training. And still in why I texted you. I was like, what is happening? But either way, I think that would have been like a fun scene if it was like half the length. But I'm glad she's on a new. dog journey. The thing that it was so dramatic is her dog, Louis, passed away, and she was like, the thing you don't know is that court didn't give Louis his medicine, aka why the dog died,

but then I did the math, and the Yorkie was like 16 years old. So it wasn't court's fault that the dog died. The dog lived a very long life. I want to know, have we heard anything in a while about Sparkle Dog? What's going on with that? No, but that is an interesting point that you make because why didn't she bring it up? We're talking about, she had talked about her dog and fancy and everything. I feel like it might be defunct. Yeah, I mean, I didn't see it going on that phone. I will say I love a Housewives business venture. I don't miss hearing every episode about how

she needed to find a distributor because that was a lot. Also, I looked at the Amazon reviews one time and people were like, this made my dog shit. I mean that you could, if you gave me a year's supply of that for free, I wouldn't give my dog that food. It shouldn't. And that's our official thoughts on Sparkle Dog. Love you, Cameron. So let's go ahead on to Stephanie's pool party where all of the women show up, including friend of Jen, who we get a little bit of an introduction to. She was supposed to be a housewife for most of the time that they were filming, ended up getting demoted.

I'm sure we'll get a little more like backstory. about her probably, but just like for reference, she's around. Mm-hmm. Well, you hate to see, you hate to see the ones that get demoted like throughout the episode. I just always have a, you know, a soft spot for them. She's like, yeah, she's like the equivalent of Latoya on this season of Atlanta. Like, she's definitely going to be there most of the time.

And I don't know if we'll ever really get like the clear reason. but she and Brandy seemed to hit it off right away. They're comparing their vaginas in the pantry at Stephanie's house. Yeah, I mean, all Brandy needs is a sip of whatever's in front of her, and she, like, let's loose. But I just have to say, first of all, I can't get over ever how gorgeous Stephanie is in general,

but her house is beautiful. Everything she does is very classy, I think. So at first I was like, why is she having caterers? She's having six women at her house for lunch. Then I was like, you know what? Whatever. That's what she, that's the right thing. to do. But it's funny, she had like decoration. She had floats in the pool. Everything was like

done and set up. But, um, I feel like it was assumed that Brandy and Tiffany were going to come head to head because Stephanie on the phone leading up to it was telling Brandy. She was like, are you okay to cut? I think you'll have a good tell. Like, I think you'll be fine. But I think it was Brandy's first outing maybe before she got called out. If you guys know, Brandy made an insensitive video or posted an insensitive video last year. And she has been very, very upset borderline suicidal, she claims about it. I'm a little confused about the timeline because the video is from a few years ago. And it says 2019.

And well, she deleted the video like at the time quickly when it, so, and then it got resurfaced last year because of the whole Leanne scandal. Right. Because Brandy had been really harsh on Leanne. And then, so this was about a year ago now, because it was in January when the reunion ended. This video resurfaced, Brandy apologized. She went to her racism rehab for a few days because she said she was suicidal. So that was in January of last year.

And then they didn't start filming the season until over the summer. So it's interesting because, I mean, yes, it's the first time that she's been in the context of filming. But like the kind of controversy is not free. at this point. So I was a little bit like, I felt like they were kind of playing up, like, almost making it seem as if it was something that like just happened, whereas it's actually like six or seven months since. Right. The other issue that it could be is that in the video, she was making fun of Asian people. And she, maybe Tiffany is the first Asian she has been around or knew she was going to be in front of and felt uncomfortable.

That's why it's interesting to me because obviously Tiffany has thoughts about this whole Brandy situation. It's interesting that it did, I agree, it felt kind of like preordained like Tiffany and Brandy will have conversation about video. And it's like, I get that it probably needed to happen, but also it's like, it's kind of like, did we do like, it's almost like somebody was like, okay, so we're going to have, we need an Asian person in the first episode to have this conversation with Brandy. and it's like, I like Tiffany a lot, but it's like, this feels forced. Okay. And the other thing is, though, when they did have their conversation,

which was very weird, like, first of all, I know people, what Brandy did was not right, obviously, but we've said this before, like, she got upset. She's entitled to be upset.

Was it about her? No, but she probably got overwhelmed in that situation and needed to compose herself as she walked away. I don't think Carrie was coddling her, like they said.

Like, I think like she need a carry went. She knew what she was saying. She was like, you need a second chance, blah, blah. So her and Tiffany then what? I just like to note this is the first time we've mentioned Carrie's name.

I know. I know. I know. Wait, so they go outside and talk and I just want to mention that I thought it was very weird for production to end the episode and do it to be continued. Basically in the middle of like Tiffany's sentence. Like it was a serious kind of conversation.

and I was like, that is not where you cut it off. I agree, because it was like, it's not like there's some big fight and it was like a climactic moment. It was like, we're having a real conversation here. Like, we're actually like talking about something. Like, it feels like you're kind of reducing like the impact of what's going on by like playing it up for drama. But I do think like you said, I think Brandy's emotions are real. and, you know, obviously she's entitled to her reaction. I do think like, I kind of feel like it feels like she's making it about herself a little bit.

Yeah. But at the same time, I think Tiffany is like, she seems like an emotionally mature enough person that she can kind of, she can be upset for her own reasons, but then she can also like see where Brandy's coming from. And I don't think that this is going to be like some gigantic rift that they can. can't get over. I think there may be other factors that get in the way of their relationship, but I'm I'm excited to I'm excited to see kind of how this season plays out because we we got like little tastes of stuff this first episode. But overall, I think this cast is just kind of a fun group. I've always enjoyed Dallas. Like I think they have a lot of it's like one of the lighter kind of housewives shows to watch just because there's a lot of like, you know, drunk antics and whatever. And I, I am excited to have that back, especially like we did just finish such a heavy season of Potomac and

like all of that. Like it's, it's nice to have something that's like a little less, I don't know, important feeling. I, I, yeah. And speaking of that, it's funny to all of these different cities. The drama is so different. And that's what's so interesting about these shows is that these people all over the country don't face the same issues that others do. So not saying, you know, one's less important, but we see just how people live and I'm excited. Plan B is a backup birth control option that's there for you when things don't go according to plan.

Okay, let's move on to Salt Lake City. I feel like we, just lots to get to this week. One interesting thing that we were talking about before the episode, we see Heather's ex-husband this week, which I just didn't expect to see him on camera. I just assumed he wasn't going to be around at all this season. Yeah, from the description, he didn't seem like a type person that was going to show his face on housewives, but here comes Billy. Here comes. Here comes

Billy. He came over to open Valentine's Day presents, which is like an awkward activity. And I'm like, okay, sure. But that, that is what it is. It's nice, it's nice that they're on good enough terms that that they can do that. We, speaking of who's not on good terms, though, Jen and Mary is becoming a bigger and bigger rift within the group because this week, Jen is having a surprise birthday party for Sharif. Obviously, she's not going to invite Mary. That is, 0% surprising to me. But Whitney is like, oh, well, like,

I think, I think Miri's, like, feelings could be hurt because you're not inviting her, which it's like, okay, yeah, but like, did you think Jen was going to invite her?

But then Whitney is getting a little messy this week. Okay. Whitney, Whitney, Whitney. I died because all she kept saying was she needs some liquid courage, liquid courage. Girlfriend. Liquid courage is not getting blacked out

to the point where, she got a little too courageous. It was so funny to watch because her and, like, I don't, I don't know. I literally feel like Whitney is such an angelic human that like she can't do any wrong, but it was really funny. She got so drunk that she couldn't. We have to fast-foil. We have to talk about this party.

It's just too much. Like it's too much. So basically, like, cliff notes of the drama is that Mary tells Whitney that Lisa and Meredith have told her that they are scared of Jen and so they don't want to they don't want Jen basically they don't want to talk to Jen about her issues with Mary because they're scared of her right so Whitney is like oh well like that's bad so she she tells Heather and Heather is like we'll bring it up at the party because she's she's always like nice when she's around and her also friend Sarah tragic friend Sarah is like yeah that sounds like a good idea

Okay, first of all, at Whitney and Sarah's house, like, what, it gave me so much anxiety that scene because they were standing the whole time and I'm a huge sitter. And they were just cutting apples on a plate and like, she was like, do you want pecans? And I was like, is this like, what is how? Are you trying to make like a charcutory board? Like, what is, can you guys go sit and like just have a glass of wine somewhere? And they were like, oh, yeah. Like, it was just very awkward, but I loved Whitney's outfit and matching. I shout out to her pumps. Don't think I didn't notice that, Whitney. Yes. But so Whitney's whole plan is that. that because Jen is, you know, calmer when she's around Sharif, at the party,

she's going to bring up to Jen the fact that she heard that Whitney or that Meredith and Lisa were talking to Mary. So she brings it up. Okay, to me, the biggest like faux pa, other than the fact that she's doing it at Jen's husband's birthday party is that Meredith and Lisa are like right there across the room, but she's not involving them in this conversation at all, has not brought it up with them first. So all of them. So all of a sudden she's like, Jen is like yelling about Lisa and Meredith and they're like, wait, excuse me. Why did my name come up?

Well, also when Whitney was starting to tell Jen about this, she like couldn't spit it out. And Heather goes, they're scared of you. And she just like blurted it out. And Whitney was like, Heather, like that's not what I was going to. But it was just so messy. Like that's the perfect word, so messy that first of all the two of them come over. and all Meredith does is now in like three episodes.

She goes, I am not engaging in this conversation. And I'm just like, I kind of agree with her in that one because like she actually didn't do it. Like this is, she didn't start this conversation. And then Lisa gets, it's like the two of them together are so opposite friends that it's like, it works very well. Like Lisa's a mouth and Meredith is just like, you know. Meredith is, I don't know. Meredith is like some dead.

guys. Yeah, just stands there. But Jen, when we think Jen can't get any worse, oh my, oh my God. I don't know what it is about the idea of Mary Cosby that just triggers Jen to a level that is like a little scary because she is, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's screaming. She's screaming about this. She's smashed as a glass. Her son, like, it's like, looking around when she smashes the glass and it's like, and then she drags her and her husband out of his birthday party and makes them leave. Yeah, it was very, it goes from zero to 100. And the thing is someone who's not even there shouldn't make you that mad. You're at your husband's party.

You threw it. Ignore it. Like what actually set you off at that moment, obviously she was drinking too. Like it's not, it's not, you know, like brain surgery.

but but that shouldn't happen like someone and then Mary Mary earlier goes I'm not invited I don't know why I don't know what I did to her girl I will say I'm curious to see how this develops with kind of the Whitney versus Lisa dynamic because I mean Meredith seems like very um like chill just by nature but Lisa is like Lisa is like she's spreading lies about me I don't appreciate it. Like, this is, we're going to talk about it. She's wasted. And it's like, I mean, I can't fault her for being mad at Whitney because if Mary had said that to her, she could have easily gone to Lisa and been like, hey, Mary said this. Like, how are you feeling about Jen? Like, what's the vibe? Like, I don't know. Like, are we all in this together? Like, I like Mary, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Where instead it's like Lisa kind of, or not Lisa, Whitney kind of like

skipped six steps, I feel like, in trying to resolve this conflict. It's like, if you think you're all scared of Jen, like, why don't you all talk about it and like make a plan rather than just being like, I think I'm going to drop a bomb at Sharif's party. But I, and I do, the only thing I agree with Jen about is not her outburst, not that, but that it wasn't the time or place. Like, you, of course, you're a lot of have conversations with anyone anywhere, but if Whitney knew that maybe this is going to be where they were all. together and it would have been the perfect sometimes you have an idea in your head and it just doesn't execute the right way and that's exactly what happened at i've never experienced that oh really which

you know it's funny though i have to note that jet is a surprise party so jenn told shereef that i don't know where she came up with the fact that they're going to pop-eyes like because that's the way they were driving so they were like he'll believe we're going to pop-eyes so he was so excited i felt like so happy for him i was like oh my god there's all this guy wants he wants to go to pop-byes and then And she goes, we're going golfing. And he was like, wait, so we're not going to pop pies. I loved that moment when you can just see all over his face that he was upset about not going to Popeyes. I'm like, honestly, that is so relatable.

Because if somebody, if somebody tells me I'm getting like my favorite fast food, like, I better be getting it. I'm going to be getting it like in three hours either way. Yeah. And also it made me upset because I still haven't tried the Popeye. chicken salad, which I heard is better than Chick-Fly and Shake Shack. Like, Popeyes is the best chicken sandwich, and I haven't had it. Oh, so I like Popeye's, but I'm not a chicken sandwich person. I just do like tenders.

Oh, okay. That's good. Oh, Louisiana. You obviously, like, it's Popeye's Louisiana chicken, right? Yeah. And so you had it in school. Like, I didn't have it. I did.

It's like, so I'm going to search. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. So let's just cut to the chase. Who is your number one Bravo Lab in the group? Or if you really want, I guess you could pick two because we did talk about a lot of different stuff. Okay.

I'm going to give it off the bat. Shoot. Because whenever there's a new housewife, I like to give it to them. But I don't know. I will eventually it'll go to Tiffany. So I'm going to hold off. I was thinking about Tiffany. Let's give Tiffany like a shining star award.

Okay. that she did great on her first week and then let's each pick a different another person. Totally. Shining Star Award. I'm dying. Okay. So mine are going to Cameron and Whitney

just because Whitney Whitney has done wrong without doing wrong yet. I just like even her being messy was like cute and funny. Like I don't get it. But Cameron, I feel bad that Louis Pest away. I think she's doing a great job coming in strong as a housewife this season right off the bat. So I'm going to give it to her. I'm going to pull a wild card and give it to Captain Lee because we saw him laying down the law this week on below deck. And I love to see that. And he looks great in his tucks. He does. And also I love when one of his articles of clothing are always missing. Like they're like searching for Captain Lee's pants.
