With Dylan Hafer Who gonna check me boo? And Barry Rosenfeld I need to start drinking alcohol Now go to sleep week Hey guys Welcome back to the Mention at All podcast I'm Dylan Hafer

And I'm Barry Rosenfeld Happy Friday Friday Happy Friday We today We have two shows to talk about of course, Real House of New York

and this week's below-deck med. But before we get into that, very, how's it going? How's your week been? Good. I feel like,

um, it was this, it was kind of a blur the whole week. Like, they mostly are. I think, when you said that,

I was like, oh, interesting. And then I was like, yeah, the last 15 weeks have been. I was like, yeah,

so basically this hasn't been different than any, the other week. I think it's good. It's rainy, though, so it's a little sad and depressing. But in like, I finished all seven seasons of Below Deck. That's my Bravo update. You know if that is growth.

No, but it's like sad. I got like sad. So I finished so far Below Deck Med and Below Deck. And I started, I am on Season 1, Episode 8 of Real Housewives of Potomac. so I can be caught up for when the new season starts in a few weeks. So to be clear, you've seen Potomac before, but not every episode. I've seen, yeah. So, like, I usually like to do that before a show starts.

Right. But I know I mentioned you, like, I didn't watch last season fully. I don't really know what was going on with me. Like, I was just, like, busy. I like that. I like that's not just like, oh, I didn't watch it because I wasn't feeling it. You're like, I don't know what was going on. Like, I don't, yeah.

Oh, it was a personal. you know. I don't even remember being on, like, so weird. So, oh, you want to know why? I think I know what happened. I like watch it, like what I'm doing right now. I like watching it in full before a new season starts. And what happened was I think I wasn't, I like got behind.

Therefore, I couldn't start a new season. So it's just like a domino effect of Potomac. So now I'm watching it. I know who they all are. I've seen episodes, but now I'm like, going to be fully educated. Yeah. I mean, their new season looks like it's going to be. explosive. So we will, of course, be talking about it in just a couple short weeks when it

premieres, but we also have a little bit of a tidbit of news about a new show that we've, has kind of been rumored for a long time, but we got a little sneak peek that Vanderpump dogs is officially happening. And it is not going to be on Bravo. It is going to be a peacock original. Okay, question. What is. What is. because I need to do my little research on peacock. Quibi came and went. Now, Peacock's arriving. Like, what is happening?

I'm not wasting my time. What is this? So Peacock is NBC, well, NBC Universal. So that includes like Bravo, E, whatever. It's their own streaming service that they just launched this week. And so there are multiple tiers of Peacock. So you don't have to, you can watch some of the. stuff for free.

Like there's a free tier. So it's not like Netflix or HBO where you need to pay to do anything. So there's a there's a free tier. And then I think there are a couple different tiers of money amounts. And like the first like the free tier and I think the first tier both have

ads, which is annoying to me because I hate ads. But I don't know. I haven't downloaded it yet. So they have like, they have a lot of, they have like movies and old NBC shows and stuff like they have 30 Rock and SVU and all of that and a lot of Bravo stuff but they also are doing a lot of original content and they did like this whole

they had this like special last night and they did this whole montage of all this original stuff that's coming up and for the first time they showed that Vanderpump Dogs is going to be a peacock original and so yeah so it's interesting because I would love to know if it was originally going to be on Bravo and then they decided not to or because let's be honest

yes Lisa is still going to make money off of this she's still getting another show but they I feel like it's it's like a demotion to be on a peacock original right but I agree with you with

was it like once on Bravo and whatnot because that is my question is like, why is it that and not, Rob? Unless they're, unless they're really trying to, like, make this streaming network work by putting people like this on it. Do you know what I mean? Because, like, people are going to want to watch this or get a glimpse of what the show is. So maybe it was a strategic move. But also, like, do you think Lala's going to be, like, a main character?

That's what I'm wondering. Because obviously we've seen, we've seen Lisa at Vanderpump Dogs a lot. And especially during the Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Apple Juicy situation, we also saw some of the employees at Vanderpumped dogs. And so I feel like it's kind of like, I feel like that was kind of like would have been a logical starting point.

But obviously now. If Raquel's not working there, I'm not watching. Oh my God. I literally just show me 30 minutes of Raquel and Lala, like playing with dogs. I'll just put it on. It'll be on in the background, whatever.

Honestly, I am not excited about this, but I am not surprised that it's happening. But we will, we will need to dive it. Dylan, I've called you out on this before. Like, oh, no, I'm not gonna want. Like, are you kidding? I can't even finish. Yes, you're gonna watch Vanderpump Dogs.

Like, we have to. At least, like, one episode, I have to see what, like, this is about. And, like, what's the premise of the show? Like, you, like, feeding a dog. I don't, anyway, I can't. Well, we'll report back because I can't deal with this. But also, we also said Beverly Hills taped their reunion yesterday.

Yeah. Our first little sneak peek is that Lisa Rina said it was bullshit on her Instagram story and that cease and desist's work apparently, which I have a feeling has to do with one, Denise Richards. But we'll see. Yeah, well, I need to know what that means. But anyway, last night, Real House. of New York, we leave off with this drunken shit show at the Berkshires and the fight between

Luann and Durinda. But I do need to cut to one small part while this is happening. And a food delivery appears at the door. And Ramona tends to make like a friend. Like she will talk to anyone, anything, anything that's breathing or not breathing. And this poor man just wanted to drop the food off and like get out of the house. And, like, Ramona was asking if she looked thin and, and if, and she's been working out and blah, blah, blah. And I can't stand it. But anyway, the part of the fight that really, like, was not nice was when Durinda took this jab again at Luann about having a mugshot. And, like, first of all, like, finds a new, like, low blow.

You know what I mean? Like, we get it. She has a mugshot. Okay. Yeah. And so Luanne kind of like sunk in her chair and had like a puppy face and turned. And like you just hurt a kindergartners feel, a kindergartner's feelings. The thing, the thing that is a little rough to me, I think about this season right now is that every single episode feels like it devolves into drunkenness.

And it's fun sometimes, but it's a little much. And after Derrinda made that comment to Luan, Leah said in her confessional, she said, quote, we're all one drink away from a mugshot. Yeah, I couldn't agree more. It's like not really a good thing, I don't think. So I think it's interesting that it's like, of course, I understand the point that it's a, it's kind of a pot kettle situation, that it's like, you know, whatever. But at the same time, it's like, maybe we should examine more of the fact that you, we're all one drink away from a mugshot because that's not normal. Right. And we all, we do find out though. Remember last week I was like something was up?

We find out, that's not mentioned, that Luann was drunk. Like she was, which means she is drinking again. And like, you couldn't hide that. Like, that was very obvious. I just didn't want to be the one to, like, accuse. But she was drunk. And a fight escalated that it ended up, Luann wanted to leave. But Luann, Leah and Ramona, which is a very bizarre trio, went out to a local. pub, which I'm very upset the cameras didn't go because I wanted to see like what went down. So, yeah, so we see Luann in her room basically sobbing as she packs up her struggles to zip up her suitcase. And then she's walking out the front door with her big Jovani tote bag. And Derinda, again, heckles the Giovanni. And she sort of pushes Luan out the door.

It was a very strange kind of physical moment. And she, It looked like she pushed the door. Yeah, I think she wanted to just kind of like get up in Luan's face, but it was it was very uncomfortably physical. And then, so yeah, basically we see Derinda yelling about Giovanni yet again. And then Leah's the one that goes out to kind of comfort Luan. And it's just, again, I feel like this season, this is now, and they pointed out, this is now the third person that Derinda has really just lashed out at this season after Tinsley and Ramona.

And it's like episode after episode. And I, you know, Ramona or Derinda has her great moments. And even this episode, we see some really fun, nice moments with her. But it's like, we're doing this again. I know. But the thing is, Sonia actually has something funny in her confessional too. She said, all things are forgiven when partying, which, like, depending on, like, what happened, I could agree slightly, but not really.

But then the next morning, well, also Leah said with the Giovanni thing, like, that's another thing. Why is she keeping up Giovanni and the mugshot? Like, is something deeper for you? Like, what's the problem here? It reminds me of, it reminds me of Teresa going to Danielle, two things. Arrested name change. Giovanni mugshot. So the next day, which.

we've seen again is Dorinda just like bright eyed and bushytailed like nothing happened and she's like well you drink the rosé she blamed it on the rosé and she was like laughing

that she was like well at least we can blame it on me out like she was looking for a way out she knew what she said was like bad and not nice right and she did call Luann but I didn't hear an apology I had just heard I love you and come home and I was looking for you this morning, but not, and she said,

I kind of, I don't know, I kind of, she like knew what she knew what she did was wrong. So she was basically just honestly trying to brush it under the rug. She was like, I, like, blame it on the rosé. Can I blame it this one time? And I, I think Lou, I think Derinda tends to do that where she knows, she knows that she was in the wrong, but she stops short of an actual apology are really admitting anything and kind of just leaves it at, I love you, let's be friends again. And I think it's one thing to do that once, but when it's kind of your pattern, it's like, no, you need to learn to apologize. Right.

So Luanne meets them, gets picked up for some shopping. And they're at... Tying when she goes, do you like my glasses? I got them at the gift shop. I was like, she's so funny, though, but they work too. Because when they get out of the cars at this furniture store, Sonia says to the other room in the car, she goes, okay, when I get out,

I'm not going to run up in hug, Lou, restrain me if I do. And Elisa's like, do you need to be restrained, really? And then Sonia immediately runs up and hugs Louie. It was almost like her and during like race to go hug her. They run and like, you know what? In this day and age, if that's how you want to make up, like go ahead.

as long as you're not fighting, it'll just happen again next week. Next time you have a glass of rosé. I don't think the issue with Luann and Sonia was as upsetting as the one with Derinda and Luann. I think like Sonia, like Luan said some things to Sonia that weren't nice, but it was she did apologize and kind of clear it up,

whereas I feel like Derinda's kind of like, yeah, it's a new day. Yeah. Also, I think the fight was for like different, like Durinda was like, like they said, being like vicious and mean. And Luann and Sonia, you can tell her just like drunk and having like a little fight. 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. I don't know. Should we talk about how Leah peed on Frenchie? Yeah, there's a lot of things to talk about that have to do with the toilet right now. So that is one of them. So Leah has the reference. that she had some kind of relationship with Frenchie, who of course was Sonia's guy,

and that included her peeing on him. And of course, the other women are not... Like, that's the worst thing that they've ever done, right? Yeah, which is funny considering this week's revelation from Leah on cameo that Ramona shits during sex. Which is funny because, again, during this episode, Ramona, which apparently clocked, the toilet, which Leah asked her, did you make a number two? And Ramona says, no, it's just must be a lot of paper in there, which is funny. They went to go clog which side note, guys, I am a very good plumber. Like, I can plunge anything. So they go to plunge and no one can

fix it. And apparently there's a baby turd in the toilet, which is like, fine. Everyone poops, whatever. But like, I just thought the whole thing came together. The cameo this week, this episode. There's just like Ramona poops, like she does. But like, so do I. You know, it's like totally normal. But the whole cameo thing, if you guys don't know what we're talking about, Elise did a cameo for someone and was talking shit about Ramona, which we will get to what she was talking about. And then Leah came on and claims that Ramona shits during sex.

So now it's a whole like explosive, get it, explosive thing on the internet. And right now Leah and Elise in real life are spending the weekend together, like at her, Elisa's house with her husband and there's like some more real life drama going on which I, for one, am living for. Some people say it's mean girl shit. I like it.

Okay, but so after plunger gate, it's now dinner time and we're having a dinner party. Oh, you have nothing to add to what I just said. Nothing. Nothing about poop. I want to get through this because we have to, Heather T. makes an appearance. Yeah.

Which they didn't give her much to do. I was kind of disappointed, but... And you can't... How do you follow that Beverly Hills episode? Just Heather Thompson. I know. She looks great, though. Yes.

Whatever. She seemed happy to be there. I don't really think she wants to come back to the show. But whatever. And then we definitely need to talk about Ramona's conversation about online dating at the dinner table, which I know you have thoughts about. Ramona says that... Which is what they were talking about in the cameo. Ramona says that dating online is hard to...

for her because these guys, they're not in the 1% they don't have multiple residences. They don't have a travel a lot. Like her. And I just, I can't listen to Ramona talk about what she wants to be in anymore.

Does she think she is though? Like, I'm just like curious. Like she's not on the level that she thinks she's on, which I think is just like hilarious. She is in the top 1%. So number one, where did you get that statistic? from Ramona. And number two, like, you're judging someone because they don't have a second home.

That's so weird. And also it's like Ramona is one of those people where she definitely has, you know, she has wealthy friends. She's a wealthy woman, whatever. She has, you know, she lives a nice life. But Ramona is not a billionaire. Romona's not like, so it's interesting that she really thinks that she would have such a hard time finding someone to meet her standards. when it's like, have you ever actually looked? Well, and it's, you can tell she's the type person. She would only date, she wants to date someone to impress her friends and to be impressed with.

She doesn't care about who the person is, like, at all. But, and that's what's funny. What Elise mentioned last week is she, like, uses Elise because now Elise is divorced from her, and Kent doesn't have the plastic surgeon and this and the yacht and the Hampton's up, blah, blah, blah, blah. And Ramona just wants to be seen, you know? So, like, she wants to be in that circle constantly.

and I don't know. I think she's really fighting to stay up top. Yeah, I'll be curious for the rest of the season if Ramona actually dates at all or anything because honestly it's like who, what guy is really going to go for that? I feel like all the guys she's interested in want to date somebody who's 20 years younger than her.

Which is, I mean, it sucks, but I just feel like that's the reality. Yeah, but that means she should just look for someone 20 years older, to be honest, because at that point, she can get a nice chunk. You know, Sonia seemed excited about the prospect of meeting some 90-year-old men, so maybe Ramona should just get on board with that. But at this party, we also find that Elise, sorry we're talking about Elise a lot, Elise has an alter ego, Erica.

We like kind of see a little bit. I am not surprised by this because Elise has always struck me as the kind of person who has like a wild side and she just like doesn't let it out. Yes, like she has very nice composure and you can tell like you can't be held in for that long. Right. And so we see a little makeout action with her and Leah, which is interesting. What's interesting. They were all making out of each other. They were all drunk and just like kissing each other. Which I have to say I'll take that because the other times they're drunk like that, this looked fun. Yes. So the night before turned into a mess on.

this night, everyone at least was having fun. And it's nice to at least, if they're going to be drunk all the time, it has to be a balance between fun and chaos. Yeah, like they were all dancing. They're all being fun. Leah invited the bartender over that she met the night before at this local pub, which I thought was cute. Dorinda talked his ear off.

It was great. 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 OBGYN recommended brand of emergency contraception, and it won't impact

your future fertility. That's Freedom to Be. Use us directed. Okay, let's get, let's just quickly touch on below deck before we go. this week I feel like the most important thing that happened was our least favorite of the season Pete finally got disciplined by Captain Sandy after Bugsie basically reported that he was making her feel uncomfortable and was talking to her about banging stewardesses and Lara and all that. It's so gross.

And then so on top of his talking to from Captain Sandy, Malia then demoted him from from lead deckhand basically saying that she doesn't, you know, trust him in that role. And it's just, I wish they would just fire him. It's so annoying. Well, now he goes from last week. He named himself party Pete. And this week because he got demoted. He's now professional Pete.

So we get to see that side of him at least. But Malia and Rob were actually on Watched Rapids Live last week. And Malia claimed that like this happened on more than one occasion. Like what we saw was just like a glimpse and apparently it like happened a bunch, which I'm not curious in seeing because like that's just repulsive. But what else could he possibly say or do other than what we did see? That's like crazy. Right. And well, and it's interesting because I do feel like we've seen this in the past that Captain Sandy tends to give a lot of chances to guys that maybe don't deserve them.

Which I mean, I understand that, you know, you're. in a situation like that, you want your crew to, you know, be the best as possible and, you know, for people to improve and everything. But sometimes it's like, this guy is not that good at his job. And then on top of that, he's like sexually harassing and being rude to the women on board. It's like, what is this, what is this man bringing to the table that you can't replace him? Yeah, I'm, it's people, I don't know. I just like it's just like I get like skeezed out kind like I just don't get where people have the right like you it's one thing to like flirt with someone and have that relationship and vibe and start like which I don't even think is okay to start saying that stuff but he just like just goes for it and it's not like you don't even read people you don't even know if they're like comfortable first of all they're also bugsies I forgot where bugsies from she's not from America like America so they also have to have different like ways of thinking you know so it's very she could be like beyond like uncomfortable and turned off so which she was but um anyway and again enough of him so but we see also jesska

actually does have a hairline fracture on her poor little finger that i know that they put her in his breath i know but it's funny because rob goes it was so dramatic he goes if you go i go and it's not like she was getting fired, like she has a broken hand. So if she like can't do her job, like you're just going to quit also? I don't. You know what? That's yacht love. Yacht love.

You know, we see it every season. There's always someone. You really do. You love to see it. Yeah. And then of course, Chef Kiko is starting to have some problems. I don't know. It's just everyone seems in flux right now.

Like there's just no. I know. Honestly. what he's going through though where he has to work on like portion control like that is kind of difficult but as a chef i feel like that's not difficult that's like it is your job to make the food good and how much you should eat but like personally i don't know what portions are like i will eat a box of anything and like i don't get it excuse me why didn't you give me a serving bowl full of pasta right but the worst you don't go to a restaurant at least i you never have gone and you eat some a meal

your entree or as I'm not allowed to say entree in front of chef ben but you're main and you're not still hungry so that is the you're basically on the yacht at a restaurant that shouldn't happen so um I think now he's getting stressed which I'm a little nervous about because when the chef goes down that's when everything just starts to crumble so our thoughts and prayers are with kiko we'll see okay who who's going to be your number one bravo lev of the group today My number one Bravo Leb of the group. Oh, you go, you go, you go, you go. Okay, I'm going to go with Luanne.

Okay. I feel like she handled herself well in the situation. She made up with Sonia. She made up with Derinda and good for her. She's looking good so far. Okay. I think that my, okay my Bravo Lab is going to go to Leah this week

because she was I literally can't think of the word she was not she's never usually involved in the drama but this week she was really trying to help out in all directions and like what's the word I'm looking for like dissolving like dissolving the drama that something along the yeah like a D word um but

she was D wording the drama. With the toilet, with this, with that. She brought the bartender home. Like, I just loved everything. Like, she's a good egg right now. So anyway, but, um, so that concludes today's class. No, but. Oh, my God. Thanks for listening. And, uh, here we go. Please don't forget to rate reviewed, subscribe.
