Welcome back to the Mentioned All podcast. I am Dylan Hafer, and I am so excited to have with me today, one of my favorite Bravo sisters. Please welcome back to the show, Danny Murphy. Hey, Danny. Well, hi, Dylan. How we doing today? Doing well, we got some exciting news right before we got.

on the microphone. There is an Atlanta trailer. You were, you saw it before I did. It's on Love B. Scott. If you want to go check it out. Atlanta premiering May 8th and the same six housewives as last year. Good for them. I love it. I thought that last cats, I feel they have a really fun vibe going where it's a perfect mix of like they feud, but they can all be at like a table together and enjoy a meal, which like has been the downfall of a lot of the other franchises where like they need two separate tables. and like Atlanta at least like, let's come together, let's see how far we can get along at this dinner before we have to leave. I totally agree. Like there's no, especially coming on the heels of New Jersey, which is a whole other situation right now.

But it's like that cast can't even be on the same panel at BravoCon together, let alone like exist happily on a girls trip. Whereas this cast, it's like the six of them are all on the same page enough to stick together. And also, they got a new cast picture and they look hot. Last year, last year, there was some shenanigans going on where they weren't satisfied with the photo shoot Bravo did for them. So they self-funded their own promo shots. This year, I think Bravo coughed up the budget because they all look great. And it's a very like, the background is kind of giving like Dreamgirls, like Chicago, kind of like neon lights vibes. I'm into it.

I'll post it after we get off the recording. And now also, Drew has a new Raya photo. I'm just speaking logistically. And because, I mean, when the trailer ends, like, Drew, are you ready to talk about Ralph? Yeah. I mean, I clapped when that was announced because she can do so much better and deserve so much more.

So I hope she does find someone. And this photo's going to help. I would kill to see how the official Bravo cast photo compares with when Drew FaceTunes, like kind of re-exam. edits and puts it on Raya. Because you know how sometimes you'll see, like, the Bravo Leopardy's post pictures that have been, like, other places. And you're like, oh, that one, that one's just a little different.

It's like, because it's like, oh, that's on the Bravo TV bio for you. And it's like everywhere when it's, you're on Watch What Happens Live, everything like that. And it's like, why do your teeth look different? What's happening here? Yeah, they love a little Face Tune. And I mean, I love the FaceTune account. So it all works out.

There used to be this Instagram account. I don't, it was like, celebrity. reality, I think. I don't know if it still is around that they would do like a flash between what they posted on their Instagram and like the Getty images shot. And so I mean, it's kind of devastating because it obviously plays into some like deep insecurities about like, you know, how some Victoria's Secret model wants to make her thighs look even smaller. I know. Again, totally different conversation. But it is kind of like, yeah, like we can all see that. It's sort of like, I'm. It's sort of like, I feel like that kind of is like in like true crime documentaries when it cuts to like,

but then things happen and it goes like black, red. And it's like like like like, like, like, like, kind of like possessed. I feel that is like the Photoshop reality moment. But that actually is a tip. Everybody never edit your photos because then you'll always, you'll never look worse because you'll just be your, you'll just look how you look. That's true. I'm waiting for that one housewife that does that. I don't know if they're out there yet.

But I mean, you and I have seen enough housewives in real life that you, you start to figure out like who the. face tune worse offenders are. Yeah, I'm like, wait, have we met? Oh, oh, oh. Yeah, it's out there. And you know what? It's crazy because people ask me about this sometimes, and I always say most of the housewives and people on Bravo are like strikingly beautiful in person.

So it's like even more disappointing when somebody obviously feels the need to like really, really overdo it. And then you see them in real life and it's like, wait, you're so pretty. It's really hard because that's the thing because it's like they don't get face tuned on the TV show they're on and they all look great on that. So it is kind of a funny thing where they take to social media and I don't know if it's just like more people in their head. It's like, oh, just do a quick little like everyone's doing a filter. But then it's like you're not filtering it. You're truly, you're putting like a Britta in front of your face because you're not unrecognizable.

A little, a little josh. Yeah. I was looking back at the last time you were on this show and lo and behold, it was the day before. Scandefal broke out. Oh my God, were we ever so young? Yeah, the last episode we were talking about Vanderpump rules. We were just, you know, kind of chit-chatting about what was happening this season. Little did we know there was an atomic bomb waiting around the corner.

And now it feels like you're back at the perfect time because, as of yesterday, Raquel's restraining order against Sheena is officially no more. And Sheena was at the courthouse. And she was wearing a beautiful Grand Tants suit, oversized sunglasses, walking in the rain, giving full walk-and-talk,

Elwood's legal jargon realness to TMZ. Sheena really, I think, more than, obviously, like, Team Ariana is a big thing right now. But I feel like aside from Ariana, sheena really is like the victor of Scandival. Oh, came out so on top because A, now we have her

she kind of gets the best of both worlds because she gets to have a fun season where she is meddling being messy doing all this stuff for Raquel and now she's like

oh I too was bamboozled I was duped and I've been like I've been riding for Ariana all along so she was able to show even more how much she loves Ariana because she had to

she had to say goodbye to her original team to be on her side because it was literally I think the day after I talked to you, the day before I talked to you last month, I was interviewing Raquel and Sheena together as they're on their buddy like a little like girls, like the girls club right

there. And so seeing the 180 Sheena has been doing right now is kind of breathtaking. Right. Like Sheena actually, you know, she's sort of cashing in the like BFF card that she's had with Ariana since before the show even really started. Because back when Ariana first was coming around in like season two-ish. Sheena was kind of the only one who wanted to give her the time of day, aside from Tom Sandoval, obviously. But it's like, now Sheena is kind of like,

hey guys, yeah, remember, like, I'm the original bestie with Ariana. So like, who gives a fuck about Raquel? I'm, I'm right here. I feel that's so true. I feel people are really going back in time in the history of Vanderbrews. And they were like, okay, Sheena didn't like

Sandoval at first. Sheena is the reason Van derbyn's really, it was the seamless transition of it with Brandy. And Sheena has just always been trying to be friends-ish with everybody, kind of, but definitely with Oriana. Yeah, I was talking to a friend yesterday. I feel like at this point, most of us probably have somebody in our lives who is currently discovering

Vanderpump rules or like in some phase. I thought you were going to say, we all have someone in our lives right now that is currently having an affair with a married man. And I was like, I don't, I don't know, I don't know if I have that yet. If so, I would want a friend to tell me because I need details. But yes, everybody is. I'm friends with so many cheaters. Like, that's just kind of like, that's who I vibe with usually.

It's a cheater brand. Yeah. I have a friend who's watching Vanderpump Rules for the first time right now and is really like burning through, burning through the episodes pretty quickly. And so I'll just get like text updates like every few days of like touchstones in Vanderpump Rules history. And it is funny, like, I was texting with this friend about Sheena last night, and I'm like, you know what?

Like, deep down, she is, like, such a good person. Yes. And such a, she's a pretty loyal person. And I think really just, like, wants to be loved, wants to be there for, like, the people that are really, like, her people. But she doesn't always have the best picker. And she can be a little too much for certain people sometimes. And so I feel like there have been situations in the last few years that like weren't super flattering for Sheena.

But I think this is kind of where she excels. That it's like she is on the right side of history. She's like, TMZ is like, will you ever be friends with Rachel again? And she's like, hell not. Hell no. Exactly. Period. Because it is so true because I feel Sheena was always on an island by herself.

But now she's like, I'm on the island of truth. She's really Like she's like binge watching Scandal All these legal things She's like I can't wait for I just have a giant wine glass and popcorn For like on the next Instagram story

To be like it's handled She's got to be on her She did Served Justice served I'm like That's been in your draft Since March 3rd and I'm not judging

Justice served absolutely is going to be the title of this episode Just in case anyone was unclear But you know Did you see the photos that just came out a few minutes ago of Raquel bringing her, what's that bag that's Shea Mitchell from Pretty Little Liars, Bay. Oh, base, base. She got her bays out of her Taitoida, Camry Uber, and went to Tom and Ariana's house,

while Ariana told me her lifetime show, movie. Look, I wish Tom and Rachel all the, all the whatever that's coming their way. So good, so good.

Those sandals you can wear all day and all night. And you've had enough of shopping from your couch. Done hoping it looks anything like the picture when you tear up on that envelope. It's time for a little in-person spring treat. It's time for a trip to Ross. Work your magic. I do feel like people are starting to talk. Obviously, we're going to get to this episode that was that,

from this week. But when you're thinking about the reunion is done filming now, at some point in the next few months, they're going to be looking to move toward next season. There is this big question in the room of like, what do we do with this cast that has like such now like strong lines drawn in the sand? And I think obviously there's an impulse that it's like, well, we have to follow what happens with Tom and Raquel. But. I actually think this restraining order situation might really backfire for Raquel because we are now, today, Thursday, as we're recording this, is exactly one week since the reunion taping.

The restraining order is done. It's over. And that threw the reunion into so much chaos. Yeah. And they had to completely rework their plans. They had to shoot in multiple parts. Sheena wasn't able to attend the part that Raquel was at, as you know, everybody knows. we have two seating charts.

And the fact that Raquel filed to have it dismissed the day after the reunion taping, and then now a week later, it's all just in the past. If I was somebody at Bravo or somebody at Evolution, the production company, any of that, I would be like, okay, this chick thinks that not only, like, is she going to create, like, a lot of issues within the cast? Obviously, that's been good for ratings. so like maybe they don't care about that so much. But like she created a real logistical headache for everyone involved with this show.

And as a viewer, as a fan, I am, I don't know how the reunion experience is going to be watching it. Because obviously it's always preferable to have everybody in the same room together. So like I think that. Christina Kelly is time clipping that for you. Like yeah, guys, why wasn't I in the room with everyone? It's like you want to invite a baby. Come on. Like, I actually think in terms of future on the show, those factors get taken into consideration.

You know, people that are difficult to work with, people that have caused problems for the show, don't always get a free pass for that. And I think that could, like, hurt Raquel's chances of being kept around. I agree, because I feel like a lot of times the people who are maybe not, the viewers dislike, at least they're entertain-they move stories along. And also, ironically, they're probably nice to production. Like, because there's a lot of people that are like, not in like a butter-up way. They're just like, hey, welcome.

Like, that makes them easier to film and have an experience because like the logistical of it all. And then they're like, okay, well, say Raquel and Tom, say I'd have welcome back next season and stuff gets even messier or like messier in a different level. Are we going to run into another nightmare like this? Or like, why are we? This isn't like, you can't. can't call all the shots because that's what she dictated in that. She did that. And I'm sure so much of,

I can't, I mean, we'll say, but like, I'm sure so much of her narrative at the reunion was like, I'm afraid of for my life, et cetera, was Sheena, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then for the second it being dropped. It almost felt like I'm like, okay, that was her turning in her like employee ID. Yeah. I think also this week we, we're sort of on the show, I guess, pivoting into what we're actually here to recap and talk about. We're starting to see Allie come out of her shell a little bit, get a little more time with the group, sort of participate in the show a little bit more, aside from just kind of like having these one-on-ones with James.

And like, I don't have any strong feelings about Allie. I don't really care about her one way or the other. But I do think that given what we were just talking about with Raquel and kind of how her position on the show might not be as set in stone, that kind of opens up more conversation of going into next season. If Allie and James are still together and still going strong, a lot of a lot of the kind of question marks around Allie's participation this season have been like, well, Raquel is always there? And that's a little weird. And is Raquel okay? If Ali's there and why is James, keep bringing up Raquel every time something happens with Ali? And

like, yeah. I would annoy me so much if I was Allie. Oh my God. I mean, clearly. Why don't you have to swim up pool? What the, what? We're starting to see, I think the thing that I am honestly most intrigued by about Ali is this episode, it feels like we're sort of starting to see her, her like blind love

for everything about James kind of pick apart a little bit. Because at that dinner, the first night in Mexico, she is like really, really. really not loving being around that behavior. And she's not loving that he's getting drunk. She said that she's happier when he doesn't drink. You know, like, it's... Oh, well, that's what was so hard when she was like, let's just have one drink.

You can't control James. And like, you can't control anybody in that situation, but especially for him. Right. So I'm like almost as she starts to be a little more openly frustrated with certain aspects of James, that is what's going to make me more interested and having her on the show in a major way versus, like,

I don't really care about James's, like, happy, lovey-dovey relationship. Yeah, like the layers of her. Because, right now, because I mean, like, his type is kind of like, Megan in the sense I'm like, are they, like, is this a robot? Like, his type is very much like, hi, James, I am excited to come to the dinner. And I'm sort of like, it's not doing that much for me.

But I get, I enjoyed seeing that part of her, like, she stormed off. She's kind of like, what is happening? And like, why is he constantly bringing up Raquel? And I liked also in this episode that Ariana and Sheena, I think it was Lala as well. Lala. Invite her out to dinner. Yeah, they were like, let's get to know you a little bit more.

Or like, let's have a conversation and kind of like unpack your personality and persona outside of James. Because then if she can actually start to form more. Because every scene she's had up to this point, which is understandable, is just, kind of like next to James being like, James, stop. But now that we get to kind of see, like she's really, like she's kind of like a Sims. Like she's like, like there's like a flame in the kitchen. She's like, why is this happening?

And it's like, maybe what's going on here? But now I feel there is getting, we're getting more layers to her. And she's probably coming to her own because it's like her first time on like TV. I'm sure she's probably like, what the hell am I doing? Right. She's like, wow, this is crazy. I've watched all these people on TV and now I'm here. But actually I've never, I've never seen the show before.

I'm not a fan. And I just like, I don't know, I'm just, I found myself here. Yeah. I do. I liked her rationalization of the Sheena wedding invite situation because she is able to clock that the only reason James actually cares about her not being invited to the wedding itself is because Raquel is going to be there. And there's like a dynamic there where James wants to be like, oh and I'm so happy you know I've loved a love of my life

Never met you know Tong kiss me tongue kiss me babe What you know Raquel was cool and all I guess But when we were together I was never really You know feeling it like that She was never the girl for me Now that I think about it

And I like that Ali is like Okay I don't want to be like your pawn In this game of like See I got the last laugh with Raquel Because she technically broke up with him Right and so like That to me is like Okay, you're like a little bit mature in this situation.

And you're like, yeah, like, I'm coming to Mexico. I'm going to have a good time regardless. I don't need like a seat at the reception. Well, also for like this wedding of these people, she like, does, she's like, I'm good. She's like, I can come to the party after or like, I can hang out after and before, but I have to skip the most boring part of a wedding. For sure. Let's go.

And I like that even, she was like, I just didn't invite you because I don't know you. She should go and hang out with Katie and Christy. She's going to have to take a little shuttle to that. I don't even know. Sheena. I love Sheena doing this. Because you know what? You can't get mad.

You can get even. She's like, yeah, you know, whatever. I just had them move to a different tower and taken off the VIP club list. It's like that honestly fair. Because fair because their whole thing, we want to have a girls trip in Mexico for Christina Kelly's birthday. And bu, you can't stop our girls trip. Okay, cool.

The VIP thing was Sheena's wedding thing. You guys just want to go to this resort because you say you really like this resort. Go enjoy what you enjoy about it. I'll tell you. This is actually maybe the most I've ever wanted the behind the scenes breakdown of who is paying for what. Yeah. Because usually when they're going on a cast trip, it's very cut and dry. Bravo books the stuff.

Bravo pays for everything. You know, it is what it is. They're in the house, the hotel. and it's all Bravo. But like with the Sheena's wedding thing, obviously a lot of Sheena's guests are there separate from the cast trip. And so I'm like, did Bravo, did Bravo like buy rooms in Sheena's wedding block? Or did they get their own block?

Because I don't know. It was weird like last week when there was so much back and forth. And I talked about this about, you know, this hotel being sold out and Katie staying somewhere else. And I'm like, well, Katie didn't like, Katie wasn't in charge of booking her own room for the cast trip. But I'm like, maybe this was different because it was part of Sheena's wedding. I have no idea, but I would be really curious to know kind of the exact details. I could kind of, because that's like when they were like, all Venmo you $1,000 and everything like that. I could see it being a thing where Bravo's like, okay, we're not like, we can't get you a reduced rate for this block of people

who like, we're not even like knowing that are going to be there type of situation. And they're like, we're not. And also they're probably like. We're not paying for you and Christina Kelly to have a girl's night out, even though they really love planting things together and supporting each other this season. I was shook beyond belief and I love La La. I don't want La La La on my bad side. But the fact that La La La brought Christina Kelly to the welcome dinner? Yeah, that was messy. That was messy.

I didn't like it. The welcome dinner, even if it is casual, even if it's a drop-by- when you get to the hotel, have a drink, say hello. It's a wedding event. And if you're not invited to any part of the wedding, if you know for a fact that Sheena wishes you weren't even in the country, you don't come to the welcome dinner. Also, what is Katie?

Oh, I guess Katie's with Schwartz. But, like, Christina Kelly can, like, get a massage, amuse herself. Room service. Yeah. Yes. Like, take a bubble bath, chill the fuck out. Because also, I think everyone, I feel like the, And it's not a rumor because she just gave birth recently that.

I think because it wasn't Christina Kelly pregnant during all this too, but just like not talking about it because it was early because she hasn't been drinking or eating like fish. So I'm like, girl, just put on a robe. You're in Mexico. Go chill. Why do you want to be at this dinner? And I'm like, Lala, why are you inviting her?

And earlier in the episode, you were crying to Brock and Sheena about how they're like the family. You didn't know you like need it or like that you didn't know you could have right now. That part left me a little. I'm like, I don't want to be given Lala this episode. I want her dress. It was really pretty, but I didn't love that. Brock and Lala being friends all of a sudden is like strange to me. I mean, Brock is kind of a non-factor this season, but I'm like, okay, I guess I'm glad you're a good father to one child.

I mean, no, I know. Are we not like, okay? Like, okay, you're the mother of your children over in Australia, like, sent you. you a text about your wedding. Like, that's cool. Like, I'm glad that things are, like, maybe a little better than they have been. But that whole list of red flags that we were compiling last season, thankfully, we're not focusing on them this year.

But, like, they didn't just go away. No. His hair went away, though. Do you like the haircut? Oh, he looks so good. It does look good. It does look good. It's very rugby vibe.

I was like, maybe he could come back to the show. Maybe just a little bit. I know. And then him walking, I know. I'm like, good for you, Sheena. Good, yeah, good, good for Sheena. I do, I don't know. I don't, I'm glad we don't really have to talk about Brock much this season.

Because last year, I feel like that was kind of the only thing worth talking about. And we may do, but this year I'm like, okay, we have some bigger fish to fry. Thank the Lord. Well, also it is kind of interesting because like the first, like this episode, there were kind of moments where I was like, am I entertained? Oh, what's happening? It was kind of going up and down. Yes.

we're just kind of collectively coming down from the Scandival High that we were on. That's also very real. But definitely this, this episode, like, I took less notes. I was a little less, like, laser focused on everything that was going on. But, yeah, I don't know how many times we can go to Schwartz and Sandy's before it's open. Oh, with a effing tasting. I'm like, I don't give a shit that I feel like I know the menu more than they do now. Like there's another tasting. There's another after. Everybody goes there after Lisa's tea party.

It's like, why is it not open? If you're open enough to have everybody come there and hang out for a TV crew, open the fucking doors to your restaurant. I don't want to hear about it anymore. Come up with a name for the blue shark drink so they can put it in the POS system and be done with it. And I like to do that. He's like, we want an elevated menu. I'm like, y'all know what, this is a bar from a reality star in a strip mall.

Why are we doing like Tahini Caesar dressing? I mean, that sounds delicious. But I'm kind of like, just open. No one's going to, no one's expecting the food to be divine. No one's affected the drinks to be good. Everyone's expecting just to see someone there or to take a photo with the sign. And honey, it is in a strip mall. I had heard that, you know, like, whatever, kind of everything in L.A.

I'm also going to say, I'm from Jersey, all my favorite things are in strip malls. It's not a, it's just a stating of a fact. Yeah, no, I saw a TikTok where somebody like walked up to Schwartz and Sandies and kind of panned around and I'm like, oh, it's like strip mall. It's not like, oh, yeah, it's like along the block with some other stores. It's like, no, it's very, very much strip mall. It's in a strip mall, half a block away from UCB. That's haunted. There's cursed energy there.

I don't trust it. God. And I mean, I don't know if Doty's doing some improv classes there. Maybe she can like, stop on over, but it is very, very cursed area of LA. Totally. But you had mentioned the dynamic this episode between Raquel and Schwartz. And it is really, knowing what we know now, it is so bizarre the way that they are, to me now, knowing that this was in August. And allegedly, Raquel and Tom Sandoval's affair started at least. in July. It feels so fake and forced when Raquel's like, I don't know, maybe we'll be tighter in the

future. What's in the men's room? Yeah. When I think tight. I think what. And then like talking about his ass. I'm like, can y'all spare us? Like, what's happening here?

It's just like, it's just bizarre. And they're bonding over their shared love of galaxy lights. And then when we get to Mexico, we get like. a weird montage of both of them immediately setting up the galaxy lights in the room. I feel like if this episode was airing and Scandival hadn't happened, you would think the producers were like trying to set them up. And now having the knowledge that we do, it feels a little bit more deliberate,

like a misdirect on the part of Raquel and Schwartz, like a cover up kind of vibe. But it just is like, I don't want to watch this. Everybody on the cast thinks it's weird, and so do I. That's also the thing because, like, there's, and it is funny. You're like, oh, there is no chemistry here. Because it literally just looks like, if it wasn't scandal, I'm like, oh, you guys just

really hate Katie so much. You just want to do this to do this in front of her. Like, I really don't get, and also just like to do it in front of James. And it just really feels just like this like performance of them all. And it is, I just am kind of like, just kind of like, girl, what were you texting Sandoval this entire time? That's what they should have had her phone to see the text. Like, this episode was filmed when, like, August, like, 20th?

What were the texts you were sending Sandoval then? Because I need those, like, streaming CNN style at the bottom of the screen. That is a good point. That it's like, I almost, I feel like some of these events are kind of irrelevant unless you know kind of like the, we need like the dub track of like, like what's going on for real. And I obviously, I think we'll get maybe some of that context at the reunion. But like now that I'm watching the episodes, it's like, no, no, no, no. I want to know like, if Sheena's wedding was on like August 28th or whatever, I want to know like what the last text

Sandoval sent to Raquel was. Like, I want to know, did they meet up while they were in Mexico? Like, you know, was it like, oh, I'm going to the ice machine down the hall, Ariana, be back in however many minutes that takes and then are they like fucking in the bathroom? Like, you know, it feels like now that we know a vague timeline,

I need more specifics. And some of it does feel like it's falling a little flat because we don't have the details. But that's not really anyone's fault. It's no one's fault, but you know who really kind of took me for a shock this week

was Ariana because I feel this was the first time we saw her like activated in any sense this entire season, which I guess is fair because she was dealing with like her dog and the logistics of opening a business. Yeah, they got their, uh, they got their space for something about her. Good for them. They got the space. And I know what? Everyone, I have, I'm supporting Ariana and Katie. I have not said I am flying to L.A. to get a sandwich. So many people are saying they are going to support this business. And to them, I say, enjoy the tuna melts. Because I don't know what they're, I don't know what they will be serving. I'm sure it will be lovely.

I'm just saying, I don't know how I'm going to, I'll give them a few months after opening when they open before going in there. But the way, like, watching her kind of get really go back and forth with the James was really kind of shocking to me because we just don't see Ariana doing that that much anymore. Yeah, it was, it felt like it kind of came out of nowhere because, you know, we sit down at dinner and obviously there was, you know, something that had happened before and then we're starting to get more context. but clearly it wasn't filmed, I imagine, or otherwise we would have seen it.

And it's like, James shoved some guy to the ground because he was like trying to hug him, but he thought he was trying to hit him. It's so, it's super weird. But, yeah, Ariana really kind of gets activated like you said. We don't see that side of her too much, but, you know, I kind of like it. It's kind of hot. I do too. Oh, yeah, when she was like, in your fucking rude to me, I was like, Ariana.

Yes. I also want to be like, where are the photos of all of Brock's hot friends, I'm assuming from Australia? I'm like, what's the vibe there? I'm like, we were giving away free hugs in Mexico? I would have, I, I, what's happening? You're like, you would have, you would have added yourself onto Katie and Christina's room at the dreams, the dreams, the dreams metora. I'm going to get ice. I'm just running around. You're like, you're like on the hunt for hot Australians in the hallway. I like, you know, I'm going to Going downstairs, I just need another Twix bar. No, it's crazy. Yeah.

You're like, is there anyone who wants to tackle me for fun? Wait, and also the LOL. I feel like the continued vibe of this trip is like, or like this season for Katie too, is like, everyone just making her drink alone because her friends, like Lala, of course, doesn't drink. And Christina's pregnant. And like, I'm still dying. It's like, like, is Christina Kelly and the girls are like, five shots, girl, you got this. And Katie's just like, this isn't helping with the depression for my divorce. But for sure.

It is funny. She's like, yeah, we're having. I just want this girl's trip in Mexico and it's literally just going to be her drinking alone. I mean, to each their own. She needs ma. She needs ma. Don't make me drink alone. Oh, my God.

Like, that is Katie Maloney Schwartz. Like, I don't know. She has to send that to Ariana or someone. Katie and, like, deranged Octavia Spencer just like in a basement together, knocking them back. That's what we need. Now that is an ultimate girl's trip that I want. Yeah.

Ultimate gross trip to Ma's basement. Yeah, that'll really get some top-tier talent involved in sure. Heather Dubrow is going to be like, oh, I'll get the next one. Wait, but if they call it trip and it's like they all like hallucinate, Heather likes her gummies, so maybe it could be something with that. I like for a lot of her. Sure. Okay.

You can handle those negotiations. I'll go to Heather Dubrow's world or whatever she calls her podcast. I want that trailer. I'm like, Heather, what are you? I feel, is she hiding it from us? Who knows? I know. Now that we have Atlanta, it's like,

time's up. It's like the judge Judy Giff where she's like, oh yeah, slapping her hand on the pile of papers. Like, you give it to me now. Before we go, I just wanted to share a piece of news that I haven't gotten a chance to talk about yet. And that is reports that we have a new Beverly Hills housewife. Oh, yes. And Marie Wiley, wife of a former NFRA.

player, Marcellus Wiley. She is a 40-year-old nurse anesthesiologist, a mother of four. One insider tells people, quote, she's hilarious. She's got such a lovable personality, lives an active full life, and is married to a great husband with an adorable family life. She's a hardworking mom. She's going to be a great fit. All of those things sound like she's a lovely person.

Will she be a good housewife? That is a fully different question, but hopefully. I also love, like, one insider, I'm like, that sounds like it came from her, but That also shows you're a great housewife. If you're talking about yourself and the third person in the process already, go on and go for it. I do love too that everyone's saying that it's going to be like her, Tiffany Moon and Dr. Nicole, Dr. Nicole from Miami, all the anesthesiologists going after Larsa at

BravoCon. Because I do need to have that battle. I need them to quiz Larsa on medical terms. Oh my God. Tiffany Moon's take down of Larsa Pippin is legendary. It's so, so good. She wasn't because Evan went to Sutton's boutique moment last night.

I don't think he said the newbie was there. And none of the other alums who have been filming have been. Megan King Edmonds was though, because she, or Megan King was. She always is everywhere. Yeah. Okay. The thing about the,

the alums filming, none of these women are coming back to the show. I'm sorry. I mean, until we're proven otherwise, like Denise showing up one dinner at Kyle's house means absolutely nothing. Like, obviously people have come back, you know, it could be a Chiray type of situation. But Chiray, you know, Shiree signed to the contract, walked in on the first day of filming and was like there. You know, Tamara, it was like this big news

that she was coming back to O.C. Even Taylor Armstrong, we got an announcement. Like, Denise and Camille and, you know, whoever else has been popping up at random of, like, one-off events. It's like, I mean, it's nice to see an old friend, but like, I don't care. Work up. And also because I feel like

it's like this, I'm really excited to see how this cast, like it seems like they're getting a little more buddy, but fighting and stuff like that. I'm excited to see how they kind of progress in the future with people. I don't know if we need all these TBTs. And I love to. It seems like Cynthia's just bopping around. She's like, I'll film a few scenes for every franchise.

She's just lying around. I love it. Meredith Marks was there too, I think. With Brooks, of course. Look, I mean, we all know that housewives exist in the same world. And, you know, they're all on social media and seeing each other at BravoCon and meeting each other at events and stuff. So I'm a fan of little crossover and throwback moments like that. But it's like, don't slide into my DMs and be like, is Denise going to be a housewife again?

Because the answer's no. No. she she will not and also with all the word around town it's like Kathy's not filming anymore because Erica's still on it yeah no no no no filming for Kathy at this season Kim it looks like might be on a little bit but I don't know honestly it's one of those things where I feel it was if Kathy doesn't come back I think that was a good time because she had her moment she had out she had all the fun memes and it's either like you either go out on top or you really smile by Katie Perry and vote for Rick Caruso like you really like

there's ebbs and flows to it all. Oh, not Katie Perry catching strays at the very end of this episode. What did she do? What did she do? I went to her Vegas residency before she voted, might add you. And it was a great time. But, you know, sometimes cover me in daisies. Cover me in daisies.

Oh, well, this episode has been something like a teenage dream. Danny, it's always a pleasure to have you around. But, you know, leave Katie Perry out of it next time, okay? Oh, okay. I know half the people listening are like, why is he saying cover me in daisies? Because you didn't listen to smile. So yeah, nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody listening has gotten any Katie Perry references that are in the last three years. But, um, good, good, good for you for trying.
