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

I'm Dylan Hafer And I'm Barry Rosenfeld Can you believe that it's Thursday already Seriously Um Yes and no Yes, because I'm exhausted, so I'm glad it's Thursday. No, because it does feel like this week has, for the first time in a long time, actually,

I feel like this week has gone by sort of quickly. Yes. I do feel that way. I'll just, I'm happy to take it. We have a three-day weekend coming up because we have the day off for Yom Kupur. Next week, I believe we will be just doing episodes on Thursday and Friday, so we will be talking about Potomac just later in the week. So heads up, don't be too disappointed if you don't see an episode on Monday. We will be back. Yes, because I know you guys all literally wake up on

Monday mornings and you're like, today's the day. We get to hear. Refresh, refresh, refresh. We actually, we have a smattering of things to talk about today. We have a new episode of Below Deck Med, of course, that we will get to. We have a doozy. A doozy. A do you. A do. One could say it's a doozy this season. Barry is going to share with us some things that she learned on the Beverly Hills Secrets Revealed episode, which I did not remember to watch. But, you know, Barry's going to bring us the team. We have each other's backs.

We have each other's back. Honestly, like, this is like the best case scenario of me not watching something. I'm like, I feel okay about it. But first, we need to get to some urgent updates in the world of Bravo. first and foremost being that Teddy Mellencamp's contract did not get renewed for season 11. Let's have a moment of silence. Just kidding. Let's not.

Okay. The thing is like I think we all deep down we knew that it was hope. I don't even know what to say because I feel like I wanted to be so confident that it was going to happen. but I was starting to doubt because we felt like this last season we felt like it was Teddy's time to go and then she came back and I would just I just was so scared that Bravo was gonna be

like little bitches and not do it I said this last the other night like this has been three I was nice and said two seasons too long but this is really three seasons too long but here's the thing I think they made the right decision because they were like what the fuck

would her storyline be for next season. Unfortunately, though, for her, not unfortunate. Obviously, she just had a baby, which is amazing. But I'm saying, like, for her, she's thinking probably that could have been, you know, what she talked about. But no one, we don't need you to talk about a new baby

for an entire season. That's not, you know. Okay, so I, Danny Pellegrino tweeted something that I thought was a great idea. He said, going forward, if Bravo is going to hire more kids of famous people to be real housewives, I'd like to politely recommend that they write in the contracts

that their famous parents or parents' fiance must appear in a minimum of one episode per season. I think that should the Teddy Mellencamp clause should absolutely be added to the contracts because we got not one appearance of John Cougar, not one appearance of Meg Ryan in three seasons.

It was shameful. Here's the thing I think about that where, okay, John Cougar Mellencamp is very cool. Teddy is not. So it's like, it's like, okay, wait, did you break out? Did I hear you say Beyonce? Did his tweet say Beyonce? No. Or did I truly just, oh, fiance. Oh, my God, I was like, yeah, that would be cool. Blue Ivy was on it. You can either show your, your famous parent or Beyonce. I thought he said Beyonce. So I was like, that would be awesome. I don't think Beyonce would like do that

housewives, but we can dream. Um, so the thing is, it would be cool if like the parent housewife daughter was the same level of cool and yeah which I mean

that's the thing like we have a lot of other kind of like notable people on these shows but they're usually notable for something that they've done and you know honestly like not even trying to be rude to Teddy like I didn't like her as a housewife but just in general like she wasn't famous for anything.

I'm, and I'm not saying Teddy might not be cool in real life. She could be. But on the show, it's crazy. Because you know who I always think about with this? I'm not kidding. I always think Eileen Davidson was on the show at the wrong time. Does that make sense? Because a lot of people always love her and want her to come back.

And I feel like she didn't shine the way she could have with the cast that she was in. So I stand behind that. was like, that was a tough time because she came on the same time as Lisa Rina. And Lisa Rina, those first couple seasons was like such a firecracker. Yeah. And, you know, that was still when Brandy was causing drama. And I don't know. Yeah, I mean, I would love Eileen to come back.

Even just like a friend of would be so fun. But yeah, you know, Teddy, Bon voyage. I do, I will say, I have a level of respect for the fact that. she was very open about her contract not being renewed. Most housewives that leave, you know, post some statement about we decided to part ways, whatever. So like props to Teddy for just calling it like it is and saying that she got fired, I appreciate that we would have known regardless.

So good for her for owning it. We own it. And I do love when they say we decided to part ways. No, you didn't. They did. You were just told not that you're not coming back. Anyway, what else is going on in Bravo World? We have a third Vanderpump baby on the way.

Brittany and Jacks announced they are expecting. So that's adding to Stasi's pregnancy and Lala's pregnancy. And, you know, we still don't have any idea what, when or what this season is going to be. Because they still seem to be committed to this thing of not filming until, sir is open because allegedly it's still a show about sir opened last night sir opened last night sir opened last night oh but is it is it like takeout or is there like outdoor dining i don't know the details i just know that it opened last night i'm like barry how dare you not have like the full run sorry i thought you would i thought you like knew that yeah they opened yesterday

okay so maybe they'll be filming soon regardless i the overwhelming consensus i've seen on line is that no one wants to see a season about Britney being pregnant. So, you know, I don't know, like, there are already so many, there are already so many mixed emotions about the future of Vanderpump rules. And I feel like this really makes it even more like, what the fuck should they even do? I don't even know what I want anymore. Here's the thing. All we heard last season was how much we didn't want to hear about Jackson, Brittany getting married. Like, that went on way too long. So I can only imagine what three castmates having a baby would be like, oh my God. I'm not shit. You know it. Guys, you know, I love, like,

babies and stories about babies. But it's just not like the ideal situation for this show. Like, they already tried the new cast. That didn't go over too well. So, like, I don't know really what they're going to do unless we just all manifest this new Vegas spin-off and it happens. Well, first of all, Stasi is not on the show show anymore. So we would only have two pregnancies. You are so correct. On camera. But I mean, yeah, it's just like, I already am so like, I don't want to watch Brittany and Jacks on any show. And so on top of that, it's like, I especially don't want to watch Britney and Jacks be like, I'm pregnant. Why, like, why, why weren't you there for me the whole time I was pregnant?

You want to hear another thought I had, which I thought was like so timing was awful. So these whole, the wildfires in California are horrific. There's no words to say. And one of them, I think, started from a gender reveal, which I thought was insane how Rand and Lala did their gender reveal of like a skydiver. I just thought that was in like bad taste. Yeah, like gender reviews. I thought that was in really bad taste.

I feel like we're getting back to the point where if you're going to do a gender reveal, it should be like cutting into a cake. Or here's what I would do. Simply open the envelope that the doctor gives you. You know, maybe ask them to print it on pink or blue paper if you really are feeling it. You know, you can reveal the gender without. And to be honest, you're revealing the sex, not the gender. Hate to say it.

The kid's going to do what they want to do. in the future. Oh my God, we're having like a Dr. Phil episode today. Like. Who's Dr. Phil and who's the like wayward teen? Well, no, I mean like the advice we're giving, not like literal.

Me, me outside. How about that? You know? Brittany is the pregnant 13 year old who's on Dr. Phil being like, my name's Brittany. I'm from Kentucky and I'm pregnant as fuck. Look at my dog.

button. Okay. Something else we have to talk about before we get into Below Deck is that we were thrown a trailer for the new season of Below Deck, the original

Below Deck. OG OGOG Below Deck. Oh my God. I don't know. So I feel like this whole year I've been paying like pretty close attention to like who's filming, who, you know,

like what shows are kind of going to be delayed, what shows are, you know, back on track. And somehow I had no idea that below deck filmed a whole season right before the COVID shutdown. And it's like, so it's like Christmas came early because I was thinking we weren't even going to get a season this year. I know that Salinot has been filming a second season. But, you know, we're going back to the Caribbean with Captain Lee starting in November. And it's like a whole new era because we have a brand new Chiefs do for the first time in like six seasons. And she, she seems fun. Her name is Francesca. She seems like she doesn't take any bullshit. And she has a fun accent. And, you know, it should be a

good time. Yeah. So we're excited also to be with Captain Lee, because at this point we are a little bit over Captain Sandy, if I do say so myself. A wee bit. A wee bit. So anyway, it's actually funny that this episode was kind of drama fueled because I feel like whenever we prioritize our shows we kind of if there's nothing to talk about we kind of pushed below deck but this week, sorry, kind of worked out for us. But Tom is, Tom has to go. Tom is one of those chefs that should have been kicked off the boat at this point.

His attitude... He's a mess. He's a bitch. but like the freak outs remind me of a two-year-old toddler having to physically be put in timeout because he's just like can't handle his tantrum. He freaked out over cucumbers. A guest paying to be on a yacht wanted cucumbers. I don't understand like why he was, he's so mad at everyone all the time.

It's like he's, Sandy walks into the gallery. and it's like, good morning, Tom, and he just doesn't even respond. He was rude to Captain Sandy. Right. It's one thing to be mad about a specific situation, but that's just rude behavior in general. And the cucumber thing was stupid. When he told Aisha to stop the waterworks and whatever, it's like, you don't speak to her like that.

I actually was, I was frustrated with Bugsie, because after Aisha kind of went and told Bugs what happened, And I thought Bugs should have said something to Tom. Me too. Because, you know, that's your job as the chiefs do to, like, look out for your team. And I know, I mean, Bugs was saying that it's a tough fine line to walk because you want to keep the chef happy. But it's like, I wish she would have said something like, hey, please don't speak to my team like that. Hannah would have done that immediately.

You know, Hannah would have done a lot of things differently. And I miss her. But me too. Well, he eventually apologizes to Aisha. And Asia's like, we've said this before, literally the purest, kindest heart. Like, there's no reason. She was actually doing something to help him. And he was just frustrated because he got woken up from his fucking nap.

Okay. But Captain Sandy, in her defense, said, if a guest is looking for food, I'm going to go to the chef and find out where the food is. So could it have been, was it a meal? No. Was it a snack that someone could have handled? Absolutely. So again, a little bit of drama made into something big, but his actions were just like uncalled for.

He's throwing shit everywhere. And now the provisions come and he's like freaking out. Like, is this your first time on a boat? Like I don't understand. You know the turnaround is quick, sir. Well, yeah. So at the end of the episode, the provisions come for the last charter of the season.

We're almost there. And so the fish is like room temperature. It's not as cold as it should be. And he's like, Captain Sandy doesn't answer her radio. So he asks Malia to go get Sandy. And when Malia talks to Sandy, Sandy's like, tell Tom to talk to me. I don't want to talk to you about this. I, okay.

I have like mixed feelings because I get why Sandy is like, why are you like running errands for the chef? like this isn't your issue. But at the same time also it's like it's a crunch time situation. They're just trying to get it dealt with like Captain Sandy was a little bit like, okay, Malia's the one who came. Just be like, okay, thanks. I'll deal with this. I don't.

I agree. I think it's because Sandy was already having issues with like Tom and she sees his attitude and whatever and she's probably like Tom's a big boy. He can come to me himself. But I think she's also been seeing Tom and Malia spend a lot of time together. So she's probably like, this isn't your job. Like, but I agree with you where it's like everyone's just helping each other, whatever. So yeah.

But in real life, we'd love to see that Tom and Malia have broken up, which I was talking to my friend about this. And she was like, I wish I could be happy, like, and be like, yeah, they don't deserve each other. But like, we don't like either of them. So it's like, oh, whatever. I can't be like, what who? Yeah.

It's, the second half of the season after Hannah has left has been an interesting journey because I'm like, objectively stuff is happening that is interesting. But I just kind of am like mentally checked out of the season. And I am hopeful that for next season they can kind of like reboot and freshen up the cast and kind of find a good balance again. Because I just feel like everyone is still watching this season, but I don't feel like anyone is super. enjoying it at this point? Yeah, I agree. I think that it's kind of some of the drama is actually a bit like repetitive. Like we're seeing right now,

Bugsy's not into Alex. We have known this since episode one when she like literally said it. And she wasn't even playing hard to get. She's like just genuinely not interested in him, which I think that night they made out a few weeks ago was a huge mistake on her part because he's like clearly in love with her. And is not getting the head. Like she didn't, I mean, she didn't do anything that was like so, so wrong, but it's like

it probably would have been, probably would have been better to just not. I mean, I've been in that position. It's just like a hard thing when you're like, we got drunk and made out. It didn't mean anything. And it's like, yeah, but you know he's had a crush on you for weeks. Correct. This episode is brought to you by Prime. Obsession is in session.

This, guys, we have seen week after week after week, Malia being a little little little tattletail literally every single week and going to Captain Sandy. This one, what she did this week was just, oh my God. So it's during dinner and Rob and Jess are both off shift.

And we see them just having a little lovey-dubby time on the front of the boat. And they are in the pitch black. They're not bothering anybody. They are literally both off for the night. And we see Malia, here she comes. And she goes, Dylan, do not find this so cringeworthy. Hey, guys, just checking out the distance from the sailboat over there. And I was like, are you?

Like, is that what you're doing? And then she goes. Honestly, like, that was like totally me. Like, like, you know, when you're at like a party and there are like kids like doing something that you're like not doing. And you're like, oh, like, I was just seeing if my friend was in here. And you're like, you're like looking at the joint in their hands. Yes, but she literally goes, and she's standing there staring at them.

They're both looking at her like, dude, what do you do? Walk away. We're like literally making out and like having a moment. And she was like, you guys can't be here. You're both not in your uniforms and the guests are right there. This is the thing that annoys me, right? She goes, if Captain Sandy saw them, they'd be off the boat. Babe, Malia, then let Captain Sandy catch them.

This has nothing to do with you. Like mind your own fucking business. You're so, oh my God, I almost jump through the screen. Walk away. The way she said it too. She was like, rules of yachting. If you're, if the guests are weak, you have, you have to be on deck in your uniform. A camp counselor.

A camp counselor. That's what I was just thinking. It was like a camp counselor telling like 15 year olds that they can't make out. How many times have we seen? And you're a lot, Hannah smoking a cigarette. Like Aisha and her weird boyfriend last season having a makeout set. Like, guys, they're not doing it in front of the guests at the dinner table. They were actually being pretty, like, respectful, I would say.

But Malia, oh, my God. Just like, she's like, if Captain Sandy were to find them, they'd be off. How is that your business? She's not kicking you off the boat. Hoof, okay. Yeah, Malia's looking like a little bit of a narc this season, I would say. A narc, but. Oh, God, I can't.

Quickly, tell me about secrets. revealed for memory hills. So I always say about secrets revealed that it's all bullshit that we never, we already knew about during the season. However, I do feel a little differently about this one because they did bring up the Bravo, Bravo, fucking Bravo scenario that Denise did on more than one occasion.

But I believe it was the first one. I can't keep track of which one she did. Andy, they did like a flip back in the reunion because they talked about it there, but they cut it. And Andy even said, like, what did you think was gonna happen? Like, oh, are you not allowed to do that?

He was kind of like picking their brains because obviously he knows about the fourth wall. But like he was asking the women, like what happens when that happens? So then Denise was blaming it on Kyle. She was like, Kyle told me to do it. And Kyle, okay, Kyle's been on the show quite some time where she knows fully

what she can say and what can't and what'll get cut. And Kyle blatantly was like, I did not say that to you, Denise. Like, I didn't, that's not what went down. I always said, and it's been in the show since season one, if you're powdering your nose, if you're putting on lip-based,

we don't want the fans to see that. Like, we don't want them to see us, like, uttering your nose. So they did show behind the scenes, though, which I thought was so crazy of a producer coming in and saying and yelling at Denise, being like, basically stop fucking saying that and get back to reality.

and you can see he threw up his arms and walked away. Because it inner, it kind of takes away, this is what Andy was saying, when you say Bravo, Bravo, or Andy Cohen or anything, it takes away from the genuine moment of what's happening. So basically the producer got frustrated because you're in the middle of an actual conversation, you do this, and now you literally have to stop filming because all the actual conversation is just in shambles right now and you're off track. Right.

Well, and the thing is obviously they all know that they're being filmed, they're on a TV show. Nobody's pretending that they're not. But when they're having an actual conversation about a real life situation, the conversation exists in that sphere of we're talking about this issue. And then when you all of a sudden are like, Bravo, Bravo, this is a TV show. Then there's the other people are doing their best to kind of ignore that and still carry on the conversation. But it just, that's not how conversations work. Right. And you heard from the other women saying, that exactly too. Dorey was like, what are we supposed to do?

It's like if I was having a conversation with my friend and we were talking about, you know, what we're going to eat for dinner and all of a sudden I'm like, your boyfriend cheated on you. You're not just going to go back to the conversation and pretend that you didn't hear that part and be like, okay, we'll deal with that another time. It's like, no, you can't. So, yeah. And I mean, there is just like, there's no comparison between when you're like doing your

little touchups and you're like, we're not ready to be on camera versus this is a, a conversation that absolutely is relevant to the show and I'm just going to derail it. It's like they don't care enough about preserving the fourth wall at this point to not show that. It's not 2012. It's funny because Erica was even like, are there two sets of rules,

one for Denise and one for the rest of us? And she said, which is true. And she was like, what does she think is going to happen when she says that? Like, we're just going to stop filming the episode completely. Like, it makes no sense. But another thing I saw that I noticed, they showed a lot of Denise in the beginning of the season, which is so crazy to see now how different she is and how different her behavior is and how much fun she was having in the beginning of these random little conversations she had with Garcell or that when they went to New York and they went to the hotels and got drinks. Like she was very not the same person she is right now, which is crazy because we don't remember that.

she was talking about her daughters and everything. I almost feel like these women sort of like broke her a little bit. Not like in a not in like a real life sense. Like she'll be fine. But in terms of her her kind of willingness to just let it all hang out and have a good time and be open. And, you know, I don't, I don't obviously don't blame her for leaving. I don't blame her for being angry with the way it all played out. You know, I think she could have handled some of it a little better.

But yeah, it's unfortunate because, you know, She had a great first season, even at the beginning of the second season, she was, you know, a fun time. And that really just got kind of like squashed. Yeah, like she was talking about her daughters and how one of them was wearing a crop top and one of them broke out, like, snuck out of the house. And she was just kind of having like a real mom moment and how they were like learning from her. She has been in Playboy.

She was a teenager too. So it's like that's the stuff we kind of wish we saw on the season this season with her. But unfortunately it didn't roll out that way. but yeah just it wasn't you know like I said just like a few points when I touch on they showed more Ricio just being high a bunch which was fun and we saw a little bit of Farah's boyfriend which was cool just like some of the things that like should have been in the season because it was to focus on one storyline unfortunately but um yeah who's your number one Bravo Lab of the week just it could be any I don't know.

I feel like there's a million things going on. I know. My Bravo Lab is... Oh my God, you go first. I always do this one. I can't think. You go first. I'm going to go with whoever at Bravo or Evolution or whatever ultimately made the decision

not to renew Teddy's contract because they did the right thing. Okay. Great. Mine is going to go to... Okay, guys, this is shocking. Mine's going to go to Malia. Not for anything to do with the episode, but for her response to Captain Sandy this week,

outside of the episode. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, you should by now go online. There was a whole ordeal with Captain Sandy on her cameo and Malia responding to accusations. So that is what I'm doing. Okay, that's fair. I literally did like a double take when you said Malia's name.

I know. I know. That's why I said, prepare, prepare. So. Guys, thanks so much for listening. Don't forget to rate, review, subscribe. Follow us on Instagram at Bravo by Betches. And check out Shop Betches.
