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

I'm Dylan Hafer And I'm Barry Rosenfeld Barry You look so you look so great On our Zoom call What are you wearing Well, Dylan, thanks for noticing. I am wearing our newly added Mentioned All hat, and you can find this on shopbetches.com

under our Bravo by Betches podcast section. Or just search, Mention It All Hat. I'm waiting for mine to arrive. I'm wearing a different Shop Betches hat right now just because it's just by chance. The hat Dylan is wearing right now is the first thing I ever made. when I started working at Betches. So it means a lot to me whenever you wear it. Yeah.

I'm wearing this hat, this is content. And I really like it. And one time I was wearing it. And somebody's like, I really like that. You know, like, just like being content. And I'm like, you know? I mean, it could go both ways, but no. You know, I'm much more about my content than about my personal happiness.

What can I say? today we have an interesting episode for you we are going to be diving into one of our favorite iconic past episodes like we have done before and we have a list that we're like working through yeah we're working on it and today we are going to be talking about the beverly hills dinner party from hell season one alison dubois what a time to be alive i rewatched this episode last night i i've forgotten about some of the the best moments. Yes. So I, but also last night, I watched, we were lucky enough to be graced with yesterday, a preview screener of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City premiere episode, which is premier in November.

Guys, it is really good. I watched it and I was like laughing out loud in my bedroom and I had to rewind certain parts because I wanted to see certain moments again. it's like an extra long episode, 55 minutes of content. It's, I'm really excited for Salt Lake City. What can I say? People are dying over the fact that they're holding snowflakes like in the beginning. And I love that the snowflakes are like obviously CGI.

Like they're not even touching their hands. Yes, they're not holding snowflakes. It's just funny because it's like, they're just like floating in mid-air. I know, right? Like they're holding their hands out. Like things like that are probably so awkward to do. you're like in real life because it's like, okay, guys, just stand there with your hands open. We're also talking about below deck med because this was a little bit of a doozy this week.

This season, I mean, it's almost over. It's been on for four years. This season has been on for four years. Like, it's so long. I also feel like every episode now that I feel like the episode since Hannah left has kind of felt the same. It's like Tom gets mad. Is somebody. Literally.

With like Jess and Robber having a shit, whatever, we'll get to it. I also, I just want to say quickly about Salt Lake City. I think one of the things that I like about it the most so far is that it's refreshing to see rich over the top women who are not even a little bit famous. That it's like these women are just glamorous. They are glamorous. They are very into themselves and they have very big personalities. but none of it is like, oh, I'm an actress from such and such,

or like I'm in the tabloids or any of that. It just feels like over the top, but in a small way, that they're in their little bubble. And I really enjoy that dynamic. It kind of reminds me of the beginning episodes of New Jersey. Hello. It's like these are, it's very, the way you just explained that was like very similar in that sense.

But honestly, I can all, I could say that New York. York and Beverly Hills are the only two where people were like actually like personalities beforehand. Beverly Hills more so than Atlanta too. I want to say Atlanta too. Yeah. I mean, a lot of those early,

early seasons kind of have that vibe of where, you know, they have these businesses that they're working on and they have their home lives, but there's not that element of like being kind of like a show within a show where they're like having these public lives. but I mean whatever obviously we'll talk a lot more about that I don't want to spill too many secrets let's get into our Beverly Hills rewind back to season one yeah okay I don't remember the last time I watched this episode but it was not very I do I watched it like during quarantine

but I had forgotten some of the kind of I forgot how like how like ridiculous early Beverly Hills was. And it's kind of lost that energy of, it's not that funny to me anymore. Like there are funny parts, but like the scene when Camille is calling each woman to invite them to her dinner party and she spends like two minutes talking to Lisa's answering machine.

Answering machine. Not thinking that it's her. And then they just show Lisa and her confessional being like, well, Camille, and it's like, it's so, like, I miss Lisa Vanderpump's early season energy. Yeah, well, here's a thing about all of these shows, like, when they invite, like, Camille sat down and was inviting everyone to her dinner party that Saturday night. When you live that lifestyle, even me, who's not up to their standard, you can't ask me to do

something on Saturday night. It has to be planned, like, ahead of time, especially if you're, like, having caterers, you're having a bartender, like, it's so unrealistic to me that, like, I don't know, like, I don't know what day she called them, but like in the middle of the week, inviting them all to this fancy dinner party, like, that week. It just doesn't make sense to me. But, yeah, she sits down and, like, cordially invites them to all this. And, like, her main thing is that she's having a pizza oven.

She's going to have the pizza oven. So that sounds really, you know, exciting. She's like, yeah, we're going to have a chef. I'm going to get my pizza oven. As appetizers, just as appetizers. It's going to be pizzas as appetizers and then a plate of dinner. A plate of dinner. But it's, so we're, we're at this dinner party.

And she has her guests of honor who are, we remember, Dedi and, and Alison Dubois sitting next her. And she's like, oh, no, you know what Camille talks. Oh, no, but like you're all my guests of honor. But like these guests of honor said here. And then you guys can say, there's like six women there. Like, it's not like she's having 35 people spread across this table. So they're literally drinking martinis the size of their heads. They are downing them.

They are heavily filled with alcohol. Like, it's crazy. It's just... When Lisa... When Lisa picks up her cocktail and says it's like a bowl of soup. A bowl of soup. The Camille cocktail. The Camille cocktail.

But like... I don't know if you felt this... Well, Camille had foreshadowed... Oh, go ahead. No, I was going to say, I don't know how if you felt this way, but like, it was one of those dinners where you just felt something was going to happen. Like, I felt the tension. from my couch.

Well, it didn't help that earlier in the episode, when Camille was talking about inviting Allison, she foreshadowed being like, Allison's the kind of girl who, you know, she can have a little too much to drink. And then she, you don't know what's going to come out of her mouth. And it's like, why are you inviting this bitch to the party

with the other girl that you already had issues with? Like, she wanted it to go down at this party. I really. Exactly. And it was so, this is so typically calculated Camille. So how do you know Faye? Where she fucking know Faye? She's asking Kyle, where do you know Faye?

And then before letting her answer, just answering her own question. Oh, I know. I know. You pose for Playboy. I remember you from Playboy. You pose naked after the OJ trial. And then like, so you already knew and you just wanted to call her out at the dinner table. But Camille, you also pose for Playboy.

Like she was trying to say it as like a dig. And like, honestly, I to this day still want to pose for Playboy. So like, that is not an insult. And then, of course, we have the most famous, I think, line, one of the most famous lines in Housewives history. The morally corrupt. A. Resnick. And it's so annoying how I forget that line wasn't even said to her face. It was in her interview.

Oh, yeah. Camille, okay, Camille, like, obviously she is a shitster, and especially season one, she was just, like, really nasty. Yeah. And it's after most of the women leave, she is talking, she says, it's easy to pick on me because I'm the nice guy. And it's like, Camille, in no next to season one of Beverly Hills is Camille the nice guy. I don't think anyone. No.

I don't think she's genuine, like, at all. And she always seems so, like, you know, like lighthearted. But, like, even you saw, she was like breaking. she was like sitting in her seat. She was like, she was like, um, like sinking down is the word I'm looking for. Like, um, I don't know.

She was kind of like stirred this and then like sat back and watched. And then we have Alison Dubois, huffing and puffing her electronic cigarette who which, who brings that to a dinner party like. And as if it was like, I'm done with you. And every time the girls kept like impersonating her, like they were like,

oh, you guys can't see me. Never mind. It's just, Yeah, it's weird because obviously now, I feel like that's kind of more of a thing, like people have like a jewel or whatever. But it's weird to just sit there because it looks, it's one of those electronic cigarettes that looks like a cigarette. And she's just sitting there like smoking on it at the table.

And it's like that's bizarre. Like she's actually like it's a pipe or something. It's so funny because Adrienne says Allison drank two or three of the cocktails, which we already said were huge and strong. Yeah. And Allison is just like fully stirring up the shit when they're talking to Allison about kind of her profession as a psychic. And I thought the whole thing of Camille's like, you know, she's off, she's at the dinner party as a guest. Like she's not working right now.

And it's like if you meet someone that has an interesting job at a dinner party, you're going to talk to them about their job. That's not like inconsiderate to ask someone about what they do. Also it was the only thing they were talking about with her. They don't know her. And then Allison was the one who took it to a weird place when she was saying that she can like head tap people's thoughts and like know what they're thinking about. And then Lisa's like, are you head tapping me right now? The thing is the party took like a very, very, very sharp turn.

Like all of a sudden after the whole head tapping thing, Camille's like, do you want her to go there? because she'll go there. And everyone was like, what? Like, no one, go where? Like, no one, what are you talking about? And then she's like, because, like, she'll tell you if your husband's cheating. And everyone was like, what?

Again, we didn't ask for that. So then it was just, like, she automatically brought it up as if, like, she knew something and, like, needed a medium there to, like, bring it up. You know what I mean? Right. It felt very bizarre.

She was, she creeps me out. 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. It felt incredibly calculated that she wanted to talk about Kyle's marriage. Like, because she was like, how many, have you been married before? I was like, yeah, okay, good. Then you're not going to get divorced. But like, he'll never emotionally fulfill you. He'll never emotionally fulfill you.

And when the kids are older. No, know that. When the kids are older, you'll have nothing in common. Which, by the way, just from a viewer's perspective, Kyle and Mauricio of one of the strongest marriages of him. ever seen. Yeah, I would say, like, they've definitely had some, like, rumors and stuff about their marriage, but in terms of what we actually see, they really are a pretty solid couple.

Yeah, I'd say. Allison is so, the way she says, know that after she says something, she says, like, three times in the episode, and it's such a weird thing to say. The way she said, yes, know that. If somebody did that to me in conversation, if you were like, if you were, like, if you were like real hostages of Salt Lake City is going to be good. You know that. Like that means I know something.

It's like creepy. Yeah. Well, I just said she's very creepy. Even the things like I, okay, I've said this multiple times in the past. I can't say when people try to insult someone, but like it's a bad insult or like it's like not a strong insult. I know it doesn't really make that much sense. But like she was like to Kai, she was like to Fay, you have two legs walk out of here. Like, oh, gosh, that hurt.

Turn instead of Kyle, too. She goes, you also have two legs. You can walk out also. I'm like, oh my God, Alison, stop. You're so mean. She says, to Faye, you have two legs last time we checked. And it's like, what does that mean? Did you cut off her legs?

And then she, like, her and Kyle going back and forth, too. Like, you know what? Like, I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to talk to you either. Like, go, girls. Like, you're crazy. Dig, dig deep. I can't stand fights like that.

The thing that I forgot was also in this episode is that while this whole thing is going on with Faye and Kyle and Allison, Kim and Taylor are also getting into it. And that's when Kim tells Taylor to blow up her lips some more. And that's when Taylor yells, enough! Enough! Well, remember also in the first season? Taylor and Kim go at it like a lot. Like, they do not get along.

And it is funny. Like, Taylor's also, they always would make fun of Taylor's lips the whole time, which is funny to think back now. Taylor, like, was the first one to get her lips done and whatever. But I never looked at Taylor that way because Taylor is, like, a tall woman and, like, big features. So I actually personally think her lips go with her face. You know what I mean? Does that make sense?

Like, I don't know. Maybe they could be a little smaller, but, like, I feel like they go. Her lips didn't really bother me when she was on the show. I will say I've seen a recent photo of her and she looks... Well, because it's... They get a lot of filler. It's the filler that happens. But anyway...

Yeah, enough whispering about Taylor's face. Yeah, enough whispering. But yeah, I told... The blow up your lips some more just caught me by surprise and it made me gleeful. Well, and it's funny because now at the beginning episodes, too, a season, sorry, is when Kim and Kyle, like, their sister duo and, like, it's, like, always them against, but then when ever Kim fights with someone, Kyle always cries and, like, takes her side. Like, it's very fun to watch. I suggest you guys start again with Beverly Hills. It's very

different than what is on currently. I always say when I go back, I like pick and choose who I still want to be on the show. Like, I've always loved Taylor, even though she would never be back on the show now. But so we also, yeah, someone asked me recently if they could, they would, wanted to watch Beverly Hills and they were like, can I just start at season five? And I was like, absolutely not. Absolutely not. You could, but that would serve no purpose at all. None. Like, if all you wanted to do was get up to date for what's happening now, maybe you could start at season five, but you would be missing the best parts on purpose, which makes no sense. Also, I think the beginning seasons are so much better in any franchise to watch because it was so

long ago that it's funny. We've talked about this too, like the production, the outfits, like the their faces. Sorry, did I say that out loud? Oh, my God. But yeah, so this was a fun recap. I love the dinner party from hell. I mean, it's so fucking weird. It's always weird when you bring in a random person thrown in the mix that's not in your

friend group. And then also is the one to like just start talking. I would be so pissed if that happened to me. Like, you're the odd ball out. Like, we don't know you. at least like start don't like attack and be in attack mode but i would say um alison is probably one of the most memorable like one-off guests in housewives history she was like i have books about me i've written books and like i was like awesome i actually published two books when i was in second grade

so i have that oh my gosh yeah hard cover hard cover wow okay i'm gonna i'll go i'll pre-order them or Well, they're not like, you can't like buy them on Amazon. They're in my house. But, you know, I could publish them one day. Plan B is a backup birth control option that's there for you when things don't go according to plan.

It's the number one OBG. YAN recommended brand of emergency contraception, and it won't impact your future fertility. That's Freedom to be. Use us directed. We also have to talk about, anyway, moving on. Enough about me being an author. Ah, maybe I can get a literary award one day, like Giselle. Oh, my God, Jasmine.

We have to talk about Blow Deck. If I have to see another episode of Tom having another fucking hissy fit, like, I'm turning it off mid-episode. I just can't. I can't. I can't. I'm glad this season is almost over because the way that it's going right now is just nothing's going anywhere. It's like,

yes, we're seeing the same stuff with Tom every week. We're seeing the same stuff with Robin Jess every week. Bugsie and AHA are just kind of, you know, doing their thing. The other, you know, there's nothing like dynamic happening. And I mean,

it's not that it's like unintertaining. There's just, it doesn't feel like there's a driving force. Right. Well, this episode, we see Tom, I know every episode to start off, we see Tom in the galley having a hissy fan. But we did see the way he was speaking to Captain Sandy. And I was a little taken back by that too because no matter how frustrated you are, like, he was like, he like made a hand gesture in her face.

And like, you're, that's a woman. You don't let. And also the captain of the boat. So you don't like get in someone's face like that. Sandy walked away as, you know, that was the right thing to do. But then they had their team meeting, crew meeting. And we saw something, Sandy got emotional, which I've never seen ever. She actually like shed some tears while talking to the crew because I feel like I always compare

this. I always think it's like a camp counselor and like rallying up like all the counselors before like the kids get to camp. Like it's like the perfect analogy before like the guests arrive on board. But they just wanted to finish out the last charter. And she was obviously frustrated with the way like Tom had just spoken to her. her. And it's just like, it's, it's very childish. And, um, I liked to see that raw emotion from Sandy because that's something I don't think we've ever witnessed before. And I don't think we're like

ever going to see again. But we also see, this is funny. I saw Pete for the first time in like weeks. Remember, I forgot he was on the show. I was like, oh, wait, who? And so they actually showed him. Like, I saw him in his bunk bed like this. episode. And when Malia was having her meeting with her deck hands, like making a lead deckhand for the last charter, by the way, which is super nice. I thought it was going to him. And I was like, oh my God, how ironic would that be? But it did go to Alex, which is well deserved. But at the same time, like, he thought, do they usually do that for the last charter? Like, what kind of? They sometimes do. I think last week when she was telling Sandy that she was going to do it, I think it's more,

like so you can have it on your resume than like because it actually like me like makes the difference in the situation so I think it's just kind of like she like is showing her appreciation of him working hard and like giving him this opportunity so that then like for his next job he can tell him that he was a lead deck hand I mean whatever I don't really care about like yachting oh my god okay well the major drama of this episode which I thought was absolutely iconic is like each episode we're seeing Jess and Jess like react a little more insane. So the charter guests are taking a group photo, okay? Rob and Aisha are going to shore with them and they're taking a photo with the guests. And Jess is stalking from above deck and watching because

she wants to ask Rob to get her a hat when they go to shore. And Aisha puts her arm on Rob, who is wearing a backpack, by the way. So imagine how awkward that is for your arm to go around someone with a backpack. So she lowers her arm. They, like, show it in slow motion, and they show her arm below his backpack. Jess literally flips out and goes to Rob, if she touches your ass one more time, I'm going to punch her in the fucking face. Like, Aisha doesn't, Asia is not, everyone, even Malian watch out, everyone was like, she

overreel. Like, she was not touching his ass. Did you see that? Like, what did you think of that? Yeah. It's just the kind of thing where it's like, it's obvious. that Jess, I like Jess is in general, but it's obvious that she has some relationship, jealousy, whatever issues. And it's like, I'm sorry, it's one thing, if you need to work

through whatever your personal issues are, but she's like dragging Isha into it every week. And it's like, you need to just chill. I'm sorry. Like, it's hard to be in that situation where you're around someone that is constantly obsessing over things and seeing things where they're not actually there. And it's like, you're in this environment where you're working and living on a boat with your boyfriend, you need to get it under control because it's, it's just like toxic to everyone there. I agree.

And also that's awkward for Aisha now where she thinks everything she does. Jess is just going to think she's like, she's cutting a tomato. She's just going to be like, oh, she think I'm flirting with her. with Rob. But anyway, speaking of that too, I meant to bring this up last episode. I didn't know that Jess and Rob up until last week when they slept in the guest room never had sex before. I know. I thought that was like very, well, you know, I'm not judging, but I'm saying for them to be as hot and heavy as they are and to be saying, I love you and kissing and doing everything. Like, I would have thought at that point, they have been like sleeping together every night, date,

you know, typical. And I was like, oh. I feel like that's happened on Bill. deck before where like I guess because they're in close quarters or it hasn't actually been that long or they're I don't know like they yeah it seems like you can bang your head really hard in the bunk bed it seems like they're in serious relationships and then it's like oh yeah like I let him go down on me and it's like wait what? Duh. I don't know. Oh, here we are. Um okay Dill who was your Bravo Lab of the week this week? You know just for nostalgia, just say, I'm going to give it to Allison Dubois because... Are you kidding me?

I mean, she gave us some iconic moments, never to be seen again, probably for the best. But, you know, I had fun. Okay. Okay. Mine is going to Adrian Maloof because my favorite thing, my favorite pastime of watching her on these early seasons are the glittered individual hair extension pieces she wears in her hair. I actually, I knew girls. I was in high school, I guess, right around the time when Beverly Hills, like around the same time this was airing.

And there, I knew girls who did that for like prom and homecoming and stuff. I mean, it's just so funny because it's so, she was, she was always very like that where she just does anything she wants to and like makes it a fashion. But I, I just give that props. Like, it's hilarious. But anyway. I miss Adrian. Adrian was like an underrated OG, I think. I know.

Like, I really do miss her. And I miss, I loved this episode too. It was what that famous, not famous, but when Paul, Adrian, Adrian, like walking around their house that's the size of New York State. But anyway, all right, guys. Sorry, just had to take a breath. That was like a lot. Thanks for listening.
