As the warm weather cools, I'm swapping in the pieces that actually get the job done, warm, durable, and built to last, and Quince delivers every time with wardrobe staples that'll carry you through the season. Quinn's has the kind of fall staples you'll actually want to wear on repeat, like 100% Mongolian cashmere from just $60, classic fit denim and real leather and wool outerwear that looks sharp and holds up. I've got my eye on their suede trucker jacket. It's perfect for layering and just looks really casual but put together, and I know that Nick is going to be trying to steal it constantly. By partnering directly with ethical factories and top artisans, Quince cuts out the middleman to deliver. premium quality at half the cost of similar brands. These pieces have truly revamped my closet. Everything from Quince is not only so cute, but also such great quality and makes me feel like I can stop wasting my money on fast fashion and actually invest in pieces that will last me a lifetime. Quince has

really become a go-to across the board. They have amazing bedding, bathware, cookware, travel accessories. Their expandable carry-on suitcase is so light and sturdy, but it has a removable laundry bag for your dirty clothes, which is key chef's kiss. Cannot get better than that.

What's good? going on everybody welcome back to another exciting episode of the vowel files i am your host

nick joined by the household and my supportive lovely gorgeous wonderful blue wife she's a little blue blue i'm an avatar she's a little smurf sweet you all i'm a smurf lovely what was a sexy smurf he just call you a smurf he did varuka salt her name was what arugasol that was the hot one varuka salt well she turned violet oh Violet, you're turning violet. There's no way they would have named the sexy one of Rooka Salt. Verucah. Well, Varuka Salt was also like a 90s, like, brunch band.

By the way, the color blue represents calmness, stability, trust, and loyalty. And sadness. Me, me, me, Leah. I'm just saying. Well, we have it a fantastic episode lined up for you. We got a lot of Bravo to get into. We got some Salt Lake City. We got some Potomac.

We got some... Love is Blind. Internet T. Well, I'm just focused on Bravo right now. And then, obviously, the Love is Blind finale happened last night. And friend of show, Crystal Minkoff, of the show Humble Brag, also formerly of Beverly Hills Housewives, is, turns out, a big Love is Blind fan. And she is going to join us to get into the finale.

Unsurprising, a little sad. Yeah. You know? I was crying. Crying. You were? I did, actually, for a while. one of them. I'm not going to lie. Which what? Don't reveal. We'll talk about later, but I also

did choke up. What? Well, I, I, do I feel anything? I have a take that I'll save for when we get to it. Okay. Okay. Keep everyone on their toes. Don't forget about me. Well, if you haven't listened to the going deep episode with Brick Schofield, that was yesterday. And boy, the internet was responsive. Responsive. Responsive. What a great word. I love that. We're going to use that going forward, responsive. They were responsive. One of my favorite things that several people said, I think we're tapping into a new audience with Brooke. I think she has obviously different audience than maybe we have. And so a lot of people, I feel like we're new to our sizzles. And like obviously, we make them literally like you're in an IMAX theater 4D trailer for the biggest action

pack to draw a thriller ever. Or are you part of a true crime documentary. Exactly. I think more hype than a documentary. Either one. It's an IMAX 4D thriller, action drama, every genre possible. It's Mission Impossible.

And the comments were like, not the serious music for this type of ad. What is the vibe of this like acting like this is a documentary or like whatever? It's just, you're new here. Marketing 101? We got the people talking. We got you responding.

We've triggered you. I was going to say, thank you for the comment like and subscribe yeah i don't know if it's a gen z thing uh the internet is very reactive from what i've learned when it comes to brook and tana for better and for worse and that and that can be a lot of your emotional health but especially for all the haters out there i am i am also just selfishly glad that she came on our show and had a really great experience because truly that's what people do is we make people feel seen and heard she just also has just i mean i and i said this in the interview of like, you can do the most simple task. You can parallel park in front of a CVS pharmacy. That's not a simple task. Okay. Fair point, Leah. It is not simple, especially in LA,

because everyone's honking at you and you're like, what else do you want me to do? How else do you want me to get into the parking spot? I have to back up. That's awful task, actually. You're right. I'm so sorry. Let me rewind. She can do a simple task like checking out at the grocery store. Is that simple? Yeah. I guess. God. Walking. She can walk and someone will be like, oh my God, Brooks Schofield ran me over with her car. And she could be like, I haven't driven in 10 years. Like, what do you mean hit you with my car? And it's just like, and it will go viral and it will be massive and everyone will believe it as truth.

And I've never seen anything like it. It's crazy. So to like have her on the couch and be like, guys, like, I don't know what to do. I don't know. She's like, maybe I should just get rid of my phone. What are some of your favorite comments, Justin? Not that we ever really do this, but. someone pointed out that they think your jeans are iron and they respect it. Do you iron your jeans, Nick? Could you imagine? I do not. I do not. Dry cleaned?

If in the morning, I'm like taking care of River and Nick's like, hold on. What makes jeans look ironed? Got to iron my jeans. They said it was the pleat. So apparently you had a pleat in your jeans. Do you get them dry cleaned? I can show you what they look like unironed. What?

How do you know what my husband's jeans look like unironed? No, I just know what my jeans looked like unironed. I can show you what they look like unironed. look like uniron. All right. Okay, sexy. And she said it in like a slow sexy voice. It was a little insidious, yeah.

I can show you what they look like. Un-iron. Nick, I saw you responding to a comment. Nick's in the comments. Yeah, I took a peek to see how people were responding to the dramatic sizzle early on. And I saw that the most liked, one of the most like comments was people's displeasure with my existence, which was fun. Wait, when did you respond? It's just a red heart.

And it got a lot on life. Yeah. Yeah. My favorite comment was from YouTube. It says, Brooke, if it makes you feel any better, I've never heard of you before today. So I don't hate you. From YouTube? Yeah. People's ability to just be assholes when I'm trying to be nice. I know. Yeah. Like she posts vlogs like all the time. Why would YouTube say that? I don't know. It's like kind of fucked up to like clown one of their creators. No, no. It was on the. It's like a fan being like, oh, I don't know. It was just on our YouTube channel. Probably a volatile's listeners who's never heard and just like decided to watch the episode. Oh, the comment was on YouTube. Yeah. It was like a backhanded compliment.

I thought you were saying YouTube itself commented that under our video. And I was like that intern who is running that social media account should be fired. It's kind of like when people are like, you know, I don't get why everybody hates on marriage. I think she's all right. Yeah. That's our favorite. I think everybody should go listen. I think they're going to see Brooke trying to evolve and guess where she's going next.

Period. We love that for her. We have a great episode lined up for y'all today. Becky Robinson. Yeah, Becky Robinson also joining us. You know her is the entitled Housewife, making people laugh online since the pandemic. And she is with us.

So get ready to chuckle for all you men and ladies out there. She's a real hoot, and we're happy to have her. Hoot in a holler. Hoot! She's a hoot. Did you guys watch Dancing with the Stars last night? Of course I did. Listen, am I the only one who, Who was this like, you think, you think wicked, you think, what an epic movie, epic franchise,

it swept pop culture with its release. But for whatever reason, I felt like the dances were kind of boring, kind of snooze. It kind of felt like people were walking on the dance floor a little bit. It just, I don't know. And I feel so much is tied to the music, you know, I don't know. It just was like, starting with Daniel Fisher, it was just, it was all nice. This is not a note for the individual dancers, but I just. maybe the theme didn't pair well

what the dance floor maybe I'm crazy I don't know maybe it's because I'm not a Broadway kid I love Andy I felt like Whitney and Alex did great but I felt like what I loved about their dances was like the acting the theatrics of it yeah

yeah and then I feel like Elaine Hendricks her dance like she won the night for me and just like dance yeah theirs was probably the most entertaining dance but it just kind of felt like there was I don't know when we went last week to dedication night, there was like, I mean, granted, it's dedication night, but like so much of

the music choices, you just felt the energy and the dances and you were captivated by just everything. And this, it was just, it felt like a, I don't know. Someone online said that Alex Earl had like, I mean, and I don't know. That was pretty good. Much truth there is to this, but that she had like requested, I guess, the popular song. Okay. And then they gave it to Whitney. Oh. And people are saying that like, she's like a producer. Well, I will say Well, first of all, I really liked Alex's dance I thought that was a really good dance

And I think honestly, I think she's Doing quite well She's a top contender Right? Yeah, well that was the thing It was like Scott came out first And it was kind of like And to be fair

Because I was like it's kind of like Disney Night right But I'm like at least Disney night They kind of get to pick a song or something That like means something to them Or like their favorite where I feel like Wicked It's like They don't get to pick I was Pinocchio Okay, maybe sorry

I was just saying I feel like Wicked's a little bit harder to if you aren't a fan of Wicked to like dance to this music and like not feel like because like I was singing along to all of the songs but like the dances I kind of do agree with you Nick that I feel like they kind of fell short this week. Granted the soundtrack to Wicked is incredible but like you're comparing it to Disney Night

where they can choose from so many different You know it's like I feel like they were limited and it yeah it didn't like hit as well as the rest of the nights have hit but they should do a Leonard Bernstein night. They should do a WMBA night. They should do a WNBA night. I think I was thinking of song time. They should let's do a pickup. They should do an angel

Reese night. They should. Get her on dancing with the stars. I bet she'd do great. She'll be on next season. Anyways, yeah, I don't know. Maybe Dylan doing the Ramba. He's really, Romba's definitely one of the better dance. Rumba, isn't a Rumba? The Rumba. Oh, no, Rumba. No, no, that's a vacuum. Yeah, you're right. I think it's the Romba. Is it not? I think it's the Romba. Romba's a vacuum.

Dancing the Rumbah. It's still an ephron. Nice, Leia. Those hips were hip in, his twirls were twirling. Oh, maybe it is Roomba is also, it's just, like, sexy. Yeah, it's a sexy dance. Was the Roomba named after the dance? Or was the dance named after the Roomba?

Because the vacuum does kind of, like, dance. Yeah, that's probably the letter. It's crazy. You know? But back to... Have you ever watched it? It kind of is like... Back to the alleged drama between Alex and, I guess, Whitney.

You know what I'm saying? Twirling. That is the one, if dancing with a star has any drama, which it has very little of, it will be, you know, the dancers don't get to pick the songs. And the producers will, you know, they will make you dance something that's not your favorite choice. It's a loheming fruit. So it's definitely possible. I would believe that rumor, so to speak. Well, Bruno said about Whitney that he thinks we've discovered a star, which I was like, I wonder in what trajectory he means.

But I was like, I definitely feel like Alex Earl's going to end up on Broadway. Well, I saw an interview after of them asking Whitney if she'd ever do Broadway. And she was like, oh, my God, of course. And she was like, I got to work on singing. Literally. Just the performance aspect of Whitney is just so good. She's just, and then did you all see Connor? He was like painted green.

I mean, like the two of them, they're just. Committed to the bit. They were so cute. They are committed to the bit. Listen, Whitney is always committed to the vet. She doesn't matter what room she's in. She is full on committed to the bit. That has always been her strength.

It doesn't really. I was going to say, to be fair, she is kind of meant to be a star because she literally, has no shame in the best way. Like, you know what I mean? I feel like she just like puts out her personality as is. To be cringes, to be free. Yeah. And that's like the most important lesson you can.

Sometimes it hits. And sometimes. We've all been cringe. We have all had cringe moments. And like she leans into them. Oh, yeah. You're never bored watching Whitney. She has climbed a cringe mountain and reached the other side.

She's, even when mom talk started, you know, you, you notice Whitney. Her facial expressions were always like, why is she sewing? having so much fun in this living room with all these women. She was met for this. Some of them were like just doing the dance. Whitney was always like. Whitney's not boring. No.

You know who else isn't boring? The thieves who stole from the Louvre. Shout out to them. That's like, that's good work. It's a real life ocean's 11. It's a real life ocean's 11. Like so they dressed up as construction workers and like the idea of like disguises. Do you think that they like met up in some sort of like warehouse and like figured out their exit?

We know they dressed up as construction workers. No, we don't know that. role playing. Yes, no, they do. They did. So they haven't been caught, though? How do we know? Here's a thing. Judging by Ocean's 11 rules, was there a contortionist construction worker? I want to know if someone was up in the rafters.

Basically, it says the criminals used a basket or lift to access a window on the sceny facing side of the building and use power tools to force their way in. The whole operation reportedly took four to seven minutes, eight priceless jewelry pieces, including items connected to Napoleon Bonaparte, Napoleon the third's wife, empress,

and Queenly Sapphire Emerald sets were stolen when item the Emerald Crown of Empress, Eugene, was recovered outside the museum but found damaged. Like, I don't know. I know that it's a terrible thing. I'm like, we don't steal. But I'm also kind of like there's something like really badass about this. Do we hope they not get caught? It's like, I don't know. Oh, I'm rooting for them. It says the two high security display cases were targeted and eight of the nine items taken remain unaccounted for, including a tiara and a necklace worn by Queen Marie Amelia, Emil, Emily. No one got hurt.

They stole a bunch of shit that ultimately we don't give a fuck about. Also was probably stolen in the past. The thieves forced open a window using an angle grinder and stole jewelry that has sentimental value and is priceless. Four perpetrators appear to have been involved in the theft who were unarmed but threatened the guards with the angle grinders. What is an angle grinder? I don't know.

Mary? I feel like something. the guards with an angle grinder. It does sound a little lezzy. It's giving lesse. Who is it sentimental for? The French don't care. Somebody owns it though, right?

And I would argue that the thieves... I would argue that the thieves don't think it's priceless. It's $35 bucks. Who knew? You could get away with millions of dollars of jewelry with a $35 angle grinder. I mean... Exactly. More people should heist.

If you're going to steal, do a heist. But the question, I guess, is it's like, okay, Now you have these priceless jewels that are obviously, like, artifacts. What do you do with them? Like, are we selling them on the black market? No. See, in the Oceans movie, they get a jeweler, right? And then the jeweler is going to deconstruct all of the things.

A crooked jeweler. They had Mindy Kaling do it in Oceans A. And then she's going to give them all the little pieces. And then you go and sell those. Typically what actually happens when, like, art is actually stolen is that you end up finding it like a couple years later and a museum somewhere else. So, like, a lot of it ends up going in like the black market trade of art. And, like, it makes a lot of money.

Well, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong. I know that obviously there's archives at a museum, but a lot of art pieces, too. It's like they're owned by individuals, right? And then, like, given to the museum to display. I think it depends. Because also a lot of European museums say that they were gifted when they weren't actually gifted. It's stolen artwork or taken from, like, colonization. But that being said, like, yeah, someone does own it, whether it's the institution or

it's a person that put it on display. What's crazy is that the thieves dropped or left behind one item, the crown of Empress Eugene. the wife of Napoleon the 3rd. They just, like, dropped a crown. You're like, that's kind of ugly. So Cinderella. It features 1,354 diamonds and 56 emeralds.

Like, why are we dropping that? Why did we leave that behind? Do you know how pissed I am that I wasn't walking down the street? Yeah. But imagine being the person that walked down the street saw it and was like a good person and didn't pick it up. I was like, oh, that's probably from like costume. Some little kids Halloween costume. Okay, this is a great question of the like you find $20.

on the street, what do you do? Or someone's wallet on the street. Well, you find a crown with a bunch of diamonds on the street. What do you do? Are you turning that in? Are you like, this kind of makes me, though, like want to, and I guess this is obviously like a question for my husband, but

like invest in emeralds. Oh. You know? Like all, they stole all of these an emerald necklace, a pair of emerald earrings. Like, apparently emeralds are just full of history. Do we know if there was

gold in there too because bold's like five times worth what it originally was like nowadays. Do you know what I learned about gold on a podcast? What did you learn? It is indestructible. You could melt it. Yeah, but it's, yeah, you can melt it. But it's still gold. It's still gold. You can change its form and it will never lose its shine. And like we don't know where gold came from. Did it come from outer space? There's like a lot of these theories. Billions of years from now whatever happens to this earth and certainly us as humans gold the gold on your the real gold that you're wearing will still be here nuclear bomb goes off gold still here do you think they're going to release security footage of this how was that only interesting to me i don't have any gold

yeah if you hear so much about it then let's get some more gold dollars and that's like a good investment invest in a gold bar they're like 250 000 a gold bar yeah let's get some gold bars Just hide them in the safe. It would be kind of baller to have one gold bar at your house. Thank you. I think so too. You have to have them like stacked in your safe. That's how I've seen them.

That's going to be the real currency. By the way, we have nothing of value at our house. It is dripped to the bones. This is unfortunately for me. I wonder if they'll release security footage of this because... Everything that I've been seeing is like people being like, oh, like, going to the Louvre. And it's like within like a couple hours or whatever of showing up to the Louvre. It's like, oh my God, we're leaving.

And it's like they thought it was a fire. they thought something was happening and next thing you know they're like oh my god someone stole artworks i hope they make a movie out of this they should they will 100%. The thing about this this heist is that it it reads to me as act one yeah you know they're planning something else this was too easy what happens is they do this and they're like I was easy let's go bigger yeah let's steal the declaration of it actually that one though iconic feel that one um Jen Z also so insurious about everything I think it's like minted.

There's a website where you resell things and some of the jewelry is on there. It's not real, but it's like, this is new with tags. What is Gen Z going to do when they turn 40 and realize the world didn't end? Here's the thing. We're not going to have Social Security.

We're not going to have anything. Might as well enjoy it. What do you mean what? I feel like Gen Z was raised on this premise that whether it's Mother Earth. Nick, we just got Gin Z audience. Don't scare them away now. There's like, there's no point to anything.

and they have this kind of nihilistist kind of mentality. What are you guys going to do? I actually think they'll be fine because when you're living... Well, when you're living with the idea of none of this matters, like, I can take risks. Like, sometimes it works. I think we're going to eat. Not that I would know.

I'm a very scared human, but... Jumping into reality recap headlines, did you guys see that Kelly from Atlanta Housewives hired Fager Parks to represent her in court? No, but that's awesome. Love. I feel like a lot of people are surprised, but like isn't a phaedra practicing lawyer yeah yeah it reminded me because yeah i mean when i first

saw it i was like oh that makes good tv but also she actually is using phaedra as representation why does she need a lawyer what's yeah what's go remember it's her remember kelly's ex like she was in a active lawsuit with her ex yeah was this someone that he was living downstairs no that's true that's no kelly's the one that has um owns the restaurants and the chicken restaurant yeah the chicken restaurant is this is giving next season storyline Yeah, yeah I think they're actively filming, so They are

This is like when Sherey used Phaedra As her lawyer I was gonna say it's like When Kim Zolziak and Candy Burras Went on tour together Okay Okay

I was like it reminds me of Heather Dubrow where she was like Just so you know Just because like somebody's A doctor on TV Doesn't mean that they're not a doctor In real life talking about Terry And I'm like yeah

Fadra is a practicing lawyer? I think most people assume that like lawyers or doctors who are on TV, maybe they did it in the past, but they're not necessarily practicing these days. For sure, yeah. Which I think is often true, but... I would let Meredith Marks represent me in court.

Just imagine, like, Fadra, her energy she brought to the turret, but like in a courtroom and she's like, objection. Oh. I would not kiss your ass for Rose. Closing arguments? Yeah. She's one. I just want to see the looks. The court day looks. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So did you guys see that

Bravo is doing a new series with Heather Gay? called surviving Mormonism? I did. Did you guys know Heather Gay was Mormon? Yeah, once upon a time, yes. I thought this was fake when I saw it. It kind of seems like a bit.

She's really going after the, she's really monetizing going after the church these days. Good for her. Yeah. Well, thinking of her evolution because she had, what was the first one? Bad Mormon. And her second book was Good Time Girl.

And now it's surviving Mormonism. She's slowly like trying to out the Mormonism part more. It's captioned as real stories of secrets and sin. The first episode of the three-part limited series Surviving Mormonism with Heather Gay premieres November 11th on Bravo with all episodes streaming November 12th on Peacoff. And Bravo, Andy, said this is so brave

and great in all caps. I'm sure it is interesting. All the grueles are supporting her in the comments. I'm for sure going to watch it. I wonder if they'll have any of the Mormon wives. Oh. Hulu, Bravo. You know, Bravo would do that?

They have to be doing some sort of like crossover. If it's just like a spinoff of Salt Lake City Housewives, it's like. Yeah. I don't think it is. It is. It's giving, like, a history on... Sure. And, like, people who were wronged by the church.

He wouldn't bring in Hulu talent for a Bravo Peacock show. I don't know. It is interesting, though, Sierra, if you've recognized, they haven't done, like, housewife spinoffs as common as they used to do them back in the day. Well, because people aren't really, like, getting married in things. It was always, like, a wedding special, like, Tamara and Eddie's wedding. Or, like, candy and her family. Like, but I feel like there were other things that weren't just weddings, but they haven't done it.

Like, Zolzi... Don't be tardy for the party. Don't be tardy for the party. And it's, like, recently, like, this is, I guess, a sign of them potentially bringing back, like, the small spinoffs. Like, Wipe Swap is a small spinoff. Yeah. Is it out? Wife Swap?

Yeah. I got to watch Angie's. It's going to be awesome. Yeah, it actually, we were watching the preview for it. It looks good. Yeah, that was, like, pretty good. Well, speaking of Angie Katanevas, we had a Real Housewives of Salt Lake City episode, and we have a rapid recap for it if you missed that episode. Reeling from the mystery of Soup Man are here.

Those women face their next roadblock packing for a super yacht. Lisa acknowledges her communication. Issues with John may be a little bit because of her, but only a little bit. Otherwise, she is perfect and has never done anything wrong. Angie wants to make things better with Mary, so she brings her Yerba Mata as a peace offering, which is very household member Kyle Coded. Oh, Kyle, yes, of course, Kyle. Hi, Kyle. Mary says her and Angie aren't sisters anymore because Angie made fun of her farts, but is that not sister behavior? Also, according to Mary, it was the dog that farted. And Mary has never made fun of her. of Angie's far as because she is kind at heart. Anyway, in order for them to be friends again, Mary makes it clear that she will no longer tell Angie when she farts. It's called boundaries, people. Then we go to Lisa and Heather, where suit man clarity is finally given. Lisa meant suit man, which was just a line pulled out of her ass. Heather is like you and Angie are the same person in different fonts.

Give it a rest, Divalina. Also, Brittany kind of reconnected with her daughter and then big news, Meredith chipped her tooth and bruised her toe, but still decided to wear heels while hiking with Heather. That's share level mother behavior. While hiking, Heather continues to stir the anti-Lisa pot and tells Meredith that Lisa definitely try to get Angie to dig up dirt on her. Meredith believes Lisa would do this but doesn't care, presumably because of the dirt she has on her.

And you know what else is dirty? Bronwyn's recent identity theft allegations. Bronwyn claims the case is 10 years old and legally sealed so she can't talk about it. But what will she say is that Lisa probably started the rumors? Overall, what constitutes a super yacht? Does that insinuate the existence of a poor man's yacht? Is that not just a boat, disgust? It was a really good episode.

It was a great episode. A lot of good layers. First of all, I absolutely loved Heather confronting Lisa finally. I just feel like more of that. And she didn't hold back. She wasn't like, she was like, no, listen to me. Even when Lisa, like, started to cry and get upset and seemed like she was going to storm out, but she had a couple of things in her hands that she was like, I guess I got to pay

for these. So I'm going to stay here and wait. Why is also Lisa like holding a stack of hundreds? That's what I'm saying. It was kind of cash. So much cash. they hear see it it was pretty cool it was a prop it was the same way with the name dropping and the the event set up being like oh my god and this is for ben and this is for brad i live a different

life yeah yeah i truly don't know people who are as rich as her that still carry cash i know a lot of people that still carry cash especially hundred so i think she is but i don't hold it like monopoly money she was like folding it up she was like counting it out she was like waiting waiting for her monocle to arrive this is at justin but i'm like it's kind of of giving Doreet getting robbed for the second time with a stack of bills in her purse at T.J. Max. Well, think about it. They're literally doing a scene. So, like, you know what I'm saying?

Is she actually checking out while doing the scene? Like, obviously not. So she's standing by the register just to hold a watt of 100s. No, call me naive. They're asking you about if you want to sign up for the credit card. I'm over here pausing, counting my money.

Heather's over here telling me I'm a bad friend. I'm like, hold on. I'm trying to just count my 200. Lisa went before filming said scene when they clearly were like, went to a boutique store, I were friends and said, hey, can we do a housewife scene? Lisa went to the bank as if she was going to Vegas and took out $3,000 or whatever it was in $100 bills so she could hold it. I mean, she was literally be like, do I, are they in the shot? It was more like 600. I did count her bills. Whatever. Not you counting Lisa's money. I didn't actually. Listen, I'm not impressed unless it's a gold bar,

period. True. Can you imagine. For those are fresh from the ATN. Honestly, I can 100% see Lisa like dropping a gold bar on this small mom and pop shop shop boutique and being like, that'll pay for it. And it'll also pay for your new extensions and some teeth wetting.

That's a good idea, actually. I see her like throwing a gold bar at Angie. Anyways, but shout out to Heather for really, you know, standing her ground and not backing down. I did feel when Lisa like wanted to run away. And Heather's like, wait, no. And I grabbed her arm. Like, that's a true friend.

Like, that's what we need. What do you want me to say? It was the same thing that Mary did to Angie when Mary was like, no, cut the, like the BS. You are the, you both are the issue. Yeah. I think they both needed that. I didn't understand the farts and the dog farting and then Mary farting. I was like, who's at the end of the day, who is farting?

But Angie is stronger than all of us the way that Angie was fighting back laughter because there's no way that I could have had that conversation seriously with my. You saw the moment, too. Yeah. She was like, yeah. Swallow it. Swallow it. She was like, we're doing a scene, we're doing a scene, we're doing a scene, I can't break. When she kept going, I was like, there's no way this is what we're really fighting about.

And then they just kept going. It was the fact that Mary was like, we're not sisters. And then she was like, you said I farted. And I was like, you guys are sisters. And it was really, honestly, like, I have never been so heart warmed and emotional over a conversation about farts. Me too. It was really sweet. I know a lot of people are freaking out over Chris Jenner's recent plastic surgery.

And I'm not in any way projecting or making any assumptions. But Heather's glow up. And Nallie's pointed us out several times from watching it recently. First of all, she's looking fabulous this season. Just like fresh, you know. But her from her chin down, whatever she's doing, how are people not like just like begging for her routine or surgeon? I don't know what airbrush, what foundation, what body cream, what body lotion, what body blurring. foundation, or if maybe that's just her skin in general, but her chest and her tities look

immaculate. Heather, like she's, like she's, like she's in her 20s. And like, look at her ITM. And not to, not to call it any other specific housewife, but when it comes to the ITMs, there are other housewives in some of the outfits they choose where like, it's just not as flattering and there seemed to be in the same age as Heather. And Heather looks incredible. like it's it's unbelievable i mean i just shout out to heather i think you guys got to go to beauty lab and laser to find out before we move on from the fart though i do think mary was valid from first

times a joke second time's like okay kind of funny third fourth time okay now it's rude so i i think she was valid for that i don't know i feel like now you're embarrassed you're shaming her oh you farted like you're making fun of her okay jeston there are things you make fun of me for all the time and i do it once and i let it go hmm i don't know about that one then i let it up. And I still love you. So, bowling is as a matter of repetition? Yeah. Yes. Interesting. But Nick, how

did you feel about Mary setting boundaries about this? You know, she was like, I'm not going to tell you when I farted. Is that a good thing from Mr. Ask Nick Guru? Yeah. I mean, Mary's very good at enforcing her boundaries. Why does she tell people when she farts? I don't like, it was confusing too, because

she was like, I told you, but then the revisionist part was like, it was the dog. No, the dog did it. And then you assumed it was me and my fart would never be that now and then they cut to the dog and the dog was like why am i being brought into this? The dog was like wasn't me it was kind of beautiful though to see mary be like i only have these friendships every 20 years like i don't see the future without you and that's why this is something that like really needs to like yeah be fixed i do love their friendship it was also nice to see brittany and her daughter it did feel very much like a scene you know

it was very much like okay olivia we got into it i mean it was clearly new for her daughter. I mean, it is new for them. Olivia did really well. No, I thought. 100%, but it just felt, you know, it was like the first time we see him and it's like this heartbreaking, which I guess. Yeah. We do have Brittany Bateman on next week for an episode of Going Deeper. You are not going to

miss. It was everything I hoped it would be. She was wonderful. It's very much what I love about going deeper, especially for people like Brittany, where I think they, I think what you see in TV isn't the whole picture of what you see and realize. And it was just really great to get to know her. And I think she's really a star. And I hope you guys check it out next Wednesday. It was a great episode. We get into all things, Brittany, her background, her childhood, her relationship with her daughters.

And certainly, Jared. That's all next week, Wednesday on going deeper. Speaking of getting into history, Bronwyn's recent identity theft allegations, the way that Bravo platforms any rumor about them is crazy. Like, I feel like we could post on the file files and be like, oh, Mary did this. and then it would be like in the next season clipped and it would be a storyline like the way that they just will take anything at face value

and be like put it in the episode well I think it's because the girls were talking about it and it's juicy so they're like yeah we're gonna talk about it is a really big headline too like I remember when that came out and everybody was like first of all what the second of all there's no details and that's like a wild wild accusation to be labeled

Broadway's with Spront's with it's sealed is also kind of it's kind of sketchy but also I get it because she's been with Todd for what 10 years so it's like obviously whatever this may or may not be happened over a decade ago so to resurface it while she's like married and it make it seem as if it was like current day like she ran like she stole a car and identity theft it sounds like she was also in college and like we know the timeline that she was really

young when she left biu so i'm like even if the reality is Lisa was the one to bring this up which i don't really think it was but like it's like it's giving brawin tried to get into a bar at 18 with a fake ID and is now being accused of identity theft. Like something so stupid. For sure. But they're like, yes, headlines of a housewife. She's going to jail next. It's kind of, I think she should

lean into it. Like, it's really cool. I mean, Todd hates it. Todd is like another reason why you need to not be on this show. The fact that he has to, she has to bribe him with ice cream to come on camera. We were actually object. No, the way that she, sorry, I just noticed this, the way that when they're eating ice cream,

cream and she's talking to him about Lisa or whatever it was and she gets upset and she starts to cry and then she just like is kind of crying but then also like eating the ice cream I was like this is the most like watching you on your couch in your darkest days like shoveling ice cream while you're crying with your husband it was just it was crazy it's a this is a very fascinating world and we are actually out to dinner with Crystal and her husband Robb the other night who will be joining us momentarily and we were you know talking about her experience in bravo and talking about just like the decision to do the show to not do the show obviously crystal and rob have a dream life and crystal like clearly doesn't need it and and chose obviously to leave the franchise and the bravo

community and specifically the housewives it's really fascinating for the people who like don't need this shit right i think the best housewives and the most committed housewives and bravo benefits from the people who like who need it who like rely on this paycheck who like you know get into the weeds uh and brawin is another person who this is a choice and todd is constantly reminding her like we don't need this and you're and i think you're you're watching the decision making process between this couple of like is it really worth it i have no doubt it's fun brawin gets to like showcase her fashion and be considered you know as a you know an influencer in the fashion community but like it definitely comes at a significant cost because this world like doesn't

fuck around your relationship in your life is on full display and you will be accused of shit that's not real or the smallest things will be blown out of proportion and it's a really fascinating world to decide like do I really need this shit because like for the people who don't it's it's very easy to say this shit ain't worth it it's just it's what Todd was saying when he said, look, like, you can decide to go, but, like, you already know what's going to happen. And if you come back, like, I can't say I'm like, you're a big girl. Like, I don't need to hear it. Like, own your choices.

Yeah. I mean, I totally agree with Todd there, you know. I am excited to see them all on a super yacht because I feel like when they're stuck together for more than two days. Like, where's Lisa is going to storm off to? The ocean. Downstairs. Under the sea.

Also, this, like, below deck crossover, it's going to feel like my favorite episodes of Vanderpump Rules when they would do crossovers with Beverly Hills. And it's like you would see them as waiters. talking shit about them at the table. Is this a below deck crossover? It's a below deck crossovers. Below deck down under. So we're going to see the below deck people working being like they're fucking killing

each other. And then you're going to see the housewives like running around storming off crying. That's be great. Oh, it's going to be so good. Well, all right. Well, our guest is here. Crystal Minkoff. She is freshly new.

A new big fan of Love is blind. And she was like, I'm showing up. She's crashing the party.

Crystal, welcome to the show. Thank you. Hi. How are you? I'm great. I'm blending in. I feel very much at home over here. You look cozy.

You look so chic. Yeah, very chic. Very, very sweatpants chic mom. Thank you. I was thinking about this morning. I'm like, I'm sort of past the point of needing to dress up for you guys. Yeah. Like, I'm just going to roll out of bed and come on over.

If that's what you look like rolling out of, bed. I mean, props too. Thank you. It must be nice. Well, we're excited to get into Love is Blind with with you. Obviously, we had the finale last night. You're a recent new fan. You dived into it. But before we dive into Love is Blind, we obviously, we're going to pick your brain about all things Bravo for a moment. Okay. I was telling the audience that we had dinner with you and Rob the other night, and we were talking a little, little BTS about Bravo. But we couldn't help but notice the new kind of wife swap show out there. And it does look. entertaining, but is it true that you were asked? Yes, I was. In fact, they asked me to be

episode one. It was going to be you instead of Wendy? It was, no, it wasn't Wendy. I'm not because of who. Okay. There was someone else that I knew, they had told me, they never said the names, but they were like, they told me the cities. And then, you know, they were very specific that wife swap they wanted to have elementary school age children. So it was kind of easy to figure out who it was who um so uh yes they said we wanted to be episode one i brought it to rob and he said no and then they said no um i haven't watched it yet but um it looks online that people like love it and uh kind of made me a little bit like should i've done it but you know the problem is the thing is like what rob says like you don't know what the tone is going to be and i think Angie's seems um from

what I'm seeing super heartfelt and which is sort of the direction I would have liked to have gone but you just don't know but I have to imagine the ones coming up are going to be more comedy yeah I was going to say they can't all be heartfelt so there's got to you know I don't think they will be based on what I'm seeing you know who they picked so um and I don't think they're all going to be flattering either I don't think Emily is just going to be the most heartfelt correct I don't think they're going to be flattering that's exactly and that was Rob's thing was like they didn't tell us the tone because they said we're not going to know the tone until we film it, which is reasonable.

Yeah, which is basically like, you know, it depends on what your family looks like and how people respond to you. Like when it's open-ended, it's very much open-ended. Like, if there are reality TV shows, because of how reality works, right? You know this crystal. Like, there are some shows that truly aren't as messy or as risky for some reality TV stars. And if, in those rare cases, you'll hear about it. They're like, this is not what this show is.

This is not our intention, you know, because if that's what it is, those shows really want you to know because they don't want you to say no for something that's just not something that you have to worry about. The fact that you got a response is like, well, we'll have to see, you know, what happens when you show up is like the biggest red flag of risk avoidant people. But it brought up a fascinating discussion that we had a dinner with you, which is, you know, when it comes to reality TV, specifically Bravo. there are people who do it at curiosity, do it for fun, do it to mix it up. And then there are people who do it because, like, they have to. They need it. Like the funds that they make from being a Bravo celebrity or just like for some people, they really, you know, they were in the public eye. Maybe their star faded a little bit. And they needed a bit of a bump as opposed to someone like you who kind of like independently successful. You have your businesses. Rob, obviously, crush in life. You guys have your thing going on. And it was.

an opportunity that was presented to you and tried it out and you know it seemed like from where I stand that was this kind of like you know you guys ultimately just made it a choice where it's just like you know it was fun it was interesting but like I don't know I don't know if I need this shit in my life yeah I mean I think as you guys get to know Rob even better personally I think he's sort of the non house husband personality um he's game for things I think for this situation I mean we obviously had like us him and I talked about it our family talked about it. For him, he's like, look, like, we'll be here to support you if you want to do housewives, like, because we're very much in the background. And, you know, for him, he doesn't

become one of those main house husband characters. He's like, but this, you know, the way they were filming it, he's like, it's the, like I said, I haven't seen a show, but like, the women come to the house without me. And he's like, so we're going to be filming a TV show on our own. And like, that's, we don't want to do that. Like, we're here to help you. And so if you went on your own and we face time dear or whatever, that's a different show for us. But like, they were going to be at the house while I was away. They have two crews. So it's happening at the same time. And he's like, that feels like this is your thing. It's not our thing. And that's not really fair to the kids because they don't want to do it. And so if you're around to like be the buffer,

that's one thing. But they said, this is not really fair. And we asked them directly. And, you know, like Rob told you the story. He found on chat, GPT, how do I prevent my parents from forcing me to do another reality show. I love it. And we're like, well, you can divorce us, I guess. But once they kind of laid that down, I wasn't going to push it. And Rob did say this. He goes, look, I said, well, what if this is my only opportunity?

He goes, if it is, that means the show's not going to do well. They'll cancel it. And you should be happy you didn't do it. If it's an incredible success, they're going to come back. And then we can just, and then now we know what it looks like and we discuss it. See, that's why you got a winner. Rob's very reasonable. Yeah.

He's totally right. right? Like, if it's on one or done. Yeah, exactly. So have you seen what's going on with Soldier Boy and Candy? I have, actually. I can't not see it. Every time I open my phone, it's like Soldier Boy's ranting. It's crazy. Candy. And I'm like, how did they even know each other? And then I saw Candy responded. I'm assuming she like produced some music with him. Well, no, no, no. I like went down a rabbit hole last night. Shocker, are you? I know. So basically what happened is Candy had this guy Charlie Rocket, who used to be Soldier Boy's cameraman on her podcast. Speak on it. And he, Charlie, said that during the tour, he shot for Solja, he was, like, in college. Solja was also, like,

really young. This was, like, you know, back at, like, the height of Soldier Boy, up in this home. So, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, anyway, so he was like, during that tour, you know, he hadn't eaten in days. He wasn't getting his per diem or his paycheck, and he wasn't treated properly. and the real tea that Soljo was pissed about was basically Charlie said Soldier boy called me into his room we're staying at the Bellagio and he wanted to make this really viral video. He said come to my room

I'm about to order some room service he orders a thousand dollars worth of room service when he was done there was so much food left over I was excited I saw some chicken figures and was like can I get those because I'm hungry I'm really really hungry he hadn't eaten days and he said yeah have whatever you want and then

Solja boy got up and he spat on the food and it was something that I had never witnessed before, but I'm very grateful for these moments because it taught me how to never treat people when they worked for me. And he went on to clarify that he was like, Soldier was just a kid, like, he was just a kid, but I had never wanted to kill somebody before my life. And then Candy, like, laughed. Anyway, Solja then went on Instagram live and said he was going to sue Candy and said, and Candy, fuck you two, you little baldheaded bitch, send me the address, let me pull up and tell my side of the story. And later in the live, I guess people were like

not too much on candy and he said they said not too much on candy fuck candy candy then responded on twitter saying i heard soldier boy was cussing me out on his live and said he wanted to pull up well i would love for you to pull up let's speak on it wow so that's what's going on with candy and soldier boy she's trying to get him to show up on the podcast again yeah candy we know candy is an incredible business woman so she's like yeah get him on and and pull up is like a term for like come to the studio yeah yeah pull up yeah yeah Yeah. Come to the studio. Like on-site. Exactly. Yeah. Wow.

It's awesome. So Soldier Boy never denied it. No. He did not. He did deny the Charlie Rocket stuff. He was like that never happened. But he. But he focused himself on candy. Yeah. Which he's, I think he's mad that Candy had Charlie on the podcast and also that she didn't check with him. But it's like. But also like what is his side of the story? Like I am curious. His side of the story is that never happened. His side of the story is it's none of your goddamn. I got up out of bed. He's very lucky to have this story out. Because last time I heard he was like bankrupt. He like fell for bankruptcy now. I thought he was dead. That is a true story.

I did say when I pitched this. It was like one of those like, oh, you know, you hear a rumor like Adam Sandler died. Adam Sandler died. Adam Sandler's not dead everybody. Yeah. Just keep putting that out there. Yeah, no. The last time I heard was like he was, that song made him like so much money. And then like he went bankrupt, which is I think kind of tale is oldest time. Yeah. Exactly. But so I think this might Revitalize him a little bit I'm sure Spotify is hitting You know exactly

Doesn't he he He battles on TikTok Does he? Yeah like the like Where you like go against somebody else And like people who are watching give gifts They make money off of that Like rap battles on TikTok

Not rap battles No no no it's like literally like Spencer Pratt does this Spencer Pratt did it Uh Like hit the chat guys hit the chat Yeah Tubbs in the chat

Should we do that from the office Dubs in the chat no Nobody's going to give us hearts. Honestly, it's a really bad look for anybody that was successful, I feel like, because it's like handling. No, I don't. I feel like that's a fall from grace on. We don't even need it.

Is that like OnlyFans? No. No, it's kind of like worse in a different way. They make a lot of money off of it, though. Oh, well, that I'm not mad at that. But it's because you're literally asking people that are watching you to give you money by giving gifts. So it's like, I don't know, tricking. It's assuming they have no intelligence that it's like you're still going to be paying to give

them this lion. They're like, it's not money. It's roses. It's like fancy begging. 100%, 100%. That's not below me. It's considered internet fan handling. Well, speaking of making money, Justin, is it true that there are rumors out there that Bravo is offering Wendy Acefo a whole bag, a whole bag of money to air and record and film her entire court proceedings and the whole legal process of her arrest in alleged insurance fraud. Yeah, I mean, I was reading into it, and I do think we need to take everything with a grain of salt, but like, alleged, alleged. Transition from Candy, I mean, good transition.

Candy was one of the highest paid housewives at one point. And the rumor or the statement is that Bravo will potentially make Wendy the highest paid housewife by paying her millions to have rights to error the whole situation. Who knows if it's true. It's so crazy. But if there is truth, I mean, Justin, when I first hired you, your big, your big hot conspiracy theory was that DUIs in Bravo world are something that are sometimes allegedly planned to be monetized. That was my conspiracy. I don't know if Crystal thinks that's real, but I just...

Mine wasn't. You know, that's an interesting thing because I did think about them. Like, does Bravo? Because, you know, the original story was that they pulled. Wendy's episode, right, from Wivesoft. And now they put it back on. So I'm like, are they initially upset? Are they like, oh, shit, you know, the people that we pay, this is a mess.

And like, you know, or are they secretly, not so secretly excited about the potential? I mean, I know that when Karen got out of prison, they filmed all that, right? I mean, that's, I would be interested in just watching those moments. So, and someone that doesn't watch that show, I can see. see Wendy's being compelling television. I mean, well, I mean, it makes sense Bravo has a bonus structure. If you give us, we'll give you, you know. It just, it's, it's a weird thing to incentivize crime. Crime. Well, I also think Bravo does love a victimless crime in the sense that, I mean, it is insurance companies versus like defrauding the elderly. Yeah. So I'm kind of like,

it is kind of interesting. And it's the same thing with Teresa Judice. Like, they waited for her to get out of prison to have her back on Real Housewives. Not to be a buzz, Kell, but when you rip off the insurance companies don't lose, the people paying premiums do. So just, yeah. But I'm like, I'm just like, tangentially. I feel like Bravo would

platform somebody in the sense of a victimless crime versus like and even like Erica wasn't actually like blamed for her. It was more so about the earrings or like, did she know? So I'm like, I kind of feel like it would be actually kind of interesting. I don't know. I think if they do pay her and get her court case recorded

I'm still really really rooting for my idea Bravo to do a full like Housewives court show like Judge Judy style with Housewives and their court cases There's certainly enough content out there Yeah and Fadra's the judge

We know Fadra could be the judge I'm just saying I wonder though I think I do think that there's some like legal barriers that like prosecution can put in like that they you cannot benefit financially if you were found guilty. Like, I do think that there's some kind of thing in there. Yeah, because it's kind of like, you know, murderers who then, like, want to write a book

and sell, you know, it's like you can't make money off of your crime. You can't. Right. But some of them do, though, but that's the thing. I don't know how it works. I think it's either state by state or like. Yeah, I think there has to be, it's like a part of whatever deal you make or something like that.

But I don't know. That would be, I just, I have very mixed me. It's terrible what happened. I just feel bad for their children. Yeah, I know. I mean, what were they thinking? Allegedly. Allegedly.

I was thinking they needed the money. Yeah. Like, then stop buying Chanel. I mean, it's not that difficult. I'm with you. Jacket is $25,000. You don't need to wear that. Or a jacket is $25.

That's right. Put a Chanel, you know, necklace on and you're good. Get a little iron on. Yeah. I mean. How did you handle? Just find a final question. before we get into love is blind crystal.

But, like, you know, we've heard from other guests in the Bravo sphere that, like, some housewives can go broke, I mean, maybe literally, maybe, like, just figuratively, when it comes to glam, styling, hair, makeup, all those things. Now, obviously, people can be thrifty, but how, how did that work for you? Did you feel that pressure? Did you pick and choose when you got glam? Did you just do it yourself and save a few bucks? Like what was that like and being in that world, did you see different people affected by the pressures and the costs of glam and styling for their appearances?

Great question. I dive deep into it on Humble Bragg's episode this week because we talk about Wendy. But, you know, there is a pressure. I remember when I started when they officially said, okay, you're the next housewife. I started filming maybe three or four weeks later. And then suddenly I went just to high gear of buying clothes. And I mean, I borrowed a lot of jewelry. The good thing about L.A. is like there's a lot of that available, which I don't think most cities have. They don't have access to like loaners and stuff like that. And because Rob's in the business, I had Mona May pull stuff for me. I had a lot of my friends pull stuff. But I blew through my salary within a month.

I mean, it costs, you have to pay these people. You know, you glam. Like, it's not included. And they know, the Bravo knows that you're not going to just go there without makeup because you want to represent yourself well. When you film four, you know, four months, five days a week, that adds up a lot. I would say, like, if I did like a home shoot, I would do my own makeup and hair because I'm like about 30 to 50 percent of what you film doesn't air. So that's another thing. So I'd actually track what aired and the clothes I, that didn't make it.

So I'd wear it for the next season. So I really try to do those things. But like. I, yes, there is a pressure, but I told Rob, I will not spend a dollar more than what they're paying me. That was our thing. It was like make this kind of experience a financial wash. But, you know, I would walk in and all the, everyone's wearing like head to toe prada and and Gucci all day long. I'm like, that is a $20,000 outfit. I'm like, are these girls making that much? Are they borrowing it? I had no idea. But there is a pressure because suddenly the audience. they all talk about your wealth. Suddenly you feel like you need to live up to whatever that was. No one ever talked about my money before, but now suddenly I have this like everyone's talking about your net worth

and all these things. And you want to live up to it. You want to like impress people. But then I remember feeling also like if I go too hard early, I'm going to go broke. Like you really have to pace yourself. But I did a lot of borrowing. I probably bought a few extra bags and I didn't really need.

but since I've stopped, I'll tell you, I've just completely stopped shopping again. So it does make you spend a lot more money. My credit card bills were much higher at the time. That's crazy. Well, before we get into Love is Blind, you guys have a big announcement of an episode of Humble Brug that drops next Monday.

Do you want to tell the people, Crystal? Oh, yes. I'm very excited. It kind of is celebrating our one-year anniversary, which I can't believe it's been one-year, you guys. I love you all. We have a very special guest, Academy Award-winning actress, philanthropist. She's incredible, Octavia Spencer.

Wow. And also a big Housewives fan. She's a massive Housewives fan. And I didn't, you know, you don't really know who are closeted fans until you do a show like this. And then your phone starts flooding. I got random DMs from random celebrities, but it was Octavia. She goes, like, first, I can't believe they even considered you. Rob. Second, I'm obsessed. And so she and her friends have watched party. She would text me wanting to know the tea every week. She loves it. She's such a, she's a super fan of like other Bravo shows, but she's very focused on housewives. She was super excited to meet Cynthia. She has a new show on Food Network. She had candy on back to candy. Let's go. But she has her favorites. She loves, she loved the Garcel Sutton thing. She was very bummed about that. You know, I had to like,

kind of talk her off the ledge for that one. But you just never know who is a fan. So we talk all about it. We talk about her life and journey in her career. But we really talk a lot about who she loves on Bravo. And that's a lot of fun. It was very cool to have her in the office and meet her. It was a lot of fun.

So that would be on Monday. So be sure to check it out on Humble Bragg this coming up Monday. If you're not subscribing to their show yet, be sure to do that. All right. Let's get into Love is Blind finale. Finally. where nobody nobody got married

it's a yeah married yeah married it's crazy I feel like they usually have one couple against their

better judgment get married okay so I this is my first season so I did not know that you go to the altar

to say no and the way they are meeting with the other moms I mean dagger to the heart I think I said a married father

who wasn't and I was like literally my chin was on the floor. I had no idea that that's how they ended the show. But I thought one would get, I for sure thought Anton and Ali would. She kind of had me sold too. The way Allie performed up into the moment she said no.

Oh, my God. Wow. They usually all do, though. Like, even Calabria, you know? Like, they all are kind of like, I loved you from this very moment. Maybe, hey baby. You look so handsome.

You look beautiful. the way that if I'm about to say no I'm like you as soon as those doors open you'll be like oh my god she yeah fuck she's saying no like you would just know immediately I have to imagine because I'm like I just keep thinking to myself why they must get bonuses

to get to the end how do you why would you do that it's wild it's wild very good very convincing producers who are like you know what just do it at the altar just tell them I mean I've told the story several times and there is some truth

to it. It's also, you know, it's a little manipulation by producers, but it's true, which is like, listen, if you go on these shows, they all know that everyone's going, has a bit of a, like, will I be a star question in their mind? And whether you are the break or upper or the being broken up with, your best moment is your most vulnerable moment, especially on these shows. And a good producer will remind cast to that. And it's true. Like, the Megan and Jordan breakup, you know, honestly I don't like I don't know why they saved that for last because it being on the couch was kind of like as soon as they cut to that scene you're like oh they're breaking up you know no it was so lackluster no you're right I mean they're very convincing when you're in it and you feel like you signed up for there's also like instead of the soft side I mean I've gone through this with other producers they make you feel very nervous and scared like you sign up for this there's a line out the door I've gone that line of there's million women who want to be here you know you better show up there's also the perfect

match of it all there's like hey you know there's the listen there are other couples you don't know how much air time you're going to receive I've gotten that note from producers well it's like listen if you if it ends up being boring we may not air it you know and it's kind of like I went through this whole fucking thing to like have it just be a race from existence you know like right

which you should be okay with but that ego the whole reason you showed up for the you know everyone knows there's opportunity and money behind getting followers and it's just like you know what fuck it i i've come this far fuck it you know and i think honestly it's not that hard to convince people to put on the wedding dress put on the tuxedo and i'm convinced though you're right because i also didn't realize that they didn't show other stories like in my first season watching it right and i'm like oh there's all these random people there So they probably themselves were going through this whole experience and they were totally eliminated from the show. And probably no matter how hard it was for them in the real time, they're probably so devastated and pissed that they weren't, their show wasn't aired.

Turns out Ali's name is Ali, all of a sudden. Alini. Alini. Alini. Alini. Alini Papini. No. It was the officiant who like, I feel so bad for these people because it's like this, they, if they do say yes at this altar and they get married, they better have.

their own wedding. Do they? They must. Just like for personal reasons. I don't know. But if it were me, I would. Because, like, that officiant is someone that love is blind hired. Like, they have no connection to this couple.

They are reading lines off of a script. And, like... For all they know, it's a real couple. And also, half of the seats empty. Horrible. They couldn't even fill them with extras. They just have a bunch of open seats at your wedding. And at least have production get a head count.

It's rough. I it's so shocking people are willing to do the show I'm grateful for it I love it if I would if I were to guess the reason behind that Chris the show creator really wants to be as authentic as possible and there's always a question who will be supportive in your family you know is your family okay with this do they think you're crazy for doing this and so the empty seats I think plays to that now I think it's a bit unfair because everyone's family situation is different. You know, some people like don't have large families. Some people, you know, have broken families. Some people, you know, some of the reason for people not having friends and families showing up has nothing to do with the support they're receiving. They should just remove the empty chairs then. I'm like, also they're springing this on people's family members being like, hey, so your niece is about to get married in two weeks to a man you've never heard of. Can you be there? But I think to Nick's point, like the empty seats is like

part of the story. Yeah, it's not a, it's not lazy producing. It's a choice. They're, they forget. It's a choice, for sure. And I also agree. I don't know if I'd want to see extras there. Like, KB's, what's the guy? What's his name? Edmund.

Edmund. It's like, his mom didn't show up or. That made me want to cry. That was for, that whole wedding. That was rough. Like, because we know KB, like, wants to do, like, she works with people. She has patience.

She has love. And, like, just seeing her be, like, at the end when, after she walked away and looked back, she was like, I knew, like, that would hurt him. Mm-hmm. You just want Edmund to be okay. Yeah. You want him to be okay, but it's also like, I don't know if anybody else felt that way, but the way that the wedding ended and with the like, I love you and whatnot.

Like, I thought that they were going to still continue to date after the fact. And then when they finally got off the aisle, she was kind of like, all right, well, I wish you well. And then it was just like, oh. Well, just him saying, like, that was my best shot. Like, I would never get someone like that. Like, he was just saying things that I'm like, oh, my God, we've all heard this before. And, like, has anyone ever decided, like, okay, we're not ready to. get married after these two weeks, but maybe we continue our engagement. We like hang out.

People have definitely tried a date. I don't think it's ever really worked. I mean, honestly, the only person it really worked out with for a period of time was Raven, who we famously had on our show. And at the time was our most listened to episode after then she was cheated on later. What was his name? I forgot. But they, they legit dated for a period of time but they broke up they yeah how did they end on their show did they i think i don't know who said no one of them said no they they made it to the altar it was like it was a very like heartbreaking ending the families were very close there was a lot of mutual respect it was sk sk but one of them said no but they very much kept dating and then he had like a whole second girlfriend you know it was a whole

it was a whole thing so it has happened and it can happen the moment alley when in her speech she goes I have all the information we need to make a decision. And I was like, oh, you're breaking up. Yeah. Yeah. Perfect match is ready for her. Oh, yeah. She was, like, fantasizing about, like, the swimsuit she'll be wearing.

And the way, I'm sure this is obviously just, I mean, he was still doing it. But the way he was munching on the snacks and drinking that drink, so, like, how are you so hungry with a broken heart? Like, I don't, like. Well, some people turn to food when they're feeling things. Oh. I mean, but it was just. He's like the way that they edited it

where she's literally sitting there being like, he's not healthy, he doesn't work out as much as he said he did. He drinks a lot and then it pans to him and he's shoving the chips and he's drinking the champagne. My favorite was him being like, she can't cook, she can't clean, she spends too much money, but she does have other qualities that I like. This is why I can do my swap.

Can you imagine Rob listing all the shit I don't do? And then I'm just sitting there eating chips. Like, it's so roughish. I mean, who would? I felt bad. For Allie. For Allie? I felt bad for her.

Why? Because I've been being pushed toward TikTok. She's very much enjoying the limelike right now. Like, don't feel bad. No, I've seen that. Is she TikToking? Hard. She is.

But seeing her cry and be like, take this dress off me. I was like, oh my God. And she collapsed to the ground. No, I felt it. I felt it for her. No, I think it's fake. She lied point blank to Anton's mom in tears, by the way, Justin. She felt pressure.

What she lied about? Remind me. Yeah. I love your son. I'm going to like, blah, blah. He did such a good job. You don't be a lie to his mom. It's like you know you're going to go down the aisle.

You're going to say no. It's like the least you could do is like not like make his mom have false hope. Yeah, she definitely had to produce her saying, all right, if you do this, you have a chance at that. And she was full on acting. No, but I have a point. Like what's worse? Lying to a mother on television. Well, actually, wait.

Yes. No, no, no. One right there. Horrible. What's worse. The word, Justin will like commit to writing for a villain is awesome. Isn't it? sense. Let me have my soapbox. There's an art to it.

All right, let's hear Justin out. I felt for Allie, because, like, she's in two positions. She either breaks up with Anton to the mother's face on national television, or she just says no at the altar and walks away and what's pretty. Like, I think you look worse, like, breaking up to the mother. Like, saying it to the mother's face, I think you get a worse at it than, like,

leaving the altar. But she didn't have to say all that. Yeah, she was a lot. She, like, she, like, tiered up. And she's, I think now that I have a son, too, I'm like, I, like, see the pain in the mother's eyes to, like, watch your kid up there, getting publicly, like, humiliated.

And it's like 20 minutes ago, you told me that you were going to protect my kid and love my kid for the rest of his life. And now you're up here pulling this shit. Like, yeah. But by the way, she didn't even, she wasn't just like, like, KB at least was like, I love you. Just I'm not the person. She's like, you are not who I thought you were now that I've seen it.

Like, after gushing to the mom, like that's rough. You guys aren't going to like my fan edit that I made for Ali. Fan edit. Because I honestly, I saw, I think it was Anton's sister say, like, Oh, she's play it. Fan edit. Anton is going to be Halloween for Halloween. I've never, I've never made a fan edit.

Time to make a fan edit. I didn't. It was like midnight. No, it was like, it was like 1 a.m. and Justin and I were. Yeah, he's allowed to have a life. Here's a thing. It was because I saw Anton's sister say she's a cold hard fuck, like, cold hard fucking bitch.

And I was like, and I was offended. Like, I felt it and I had to like make an edit. She did. That was wrong. That was tough. The sister, yeah, that was crazy. But I would have said that. I would have said that, too.

Yeah. Ride for your people. She's a pretty girl. She's fine. Too hot to handle. Perfect match. Okay, I found it. I'm going to just quickly, like.

I've never made a fan at it by the way. I was just like, felt inspired. Well, the way that so many people have gone after Nick and I and you've never made us a fan at it, it says a lot about you. I think if someone called you a cold-hearted fucking bitch at the altar, I'd be like, you know what? Justin, it would take you five seconds to find that online. I found. I have it here.

You ready? Go. Yes. Oh my God. You got to post this. I love it. But you have to make sure that you're in the comment saying this is you. Fake.

Fake. I love you. I don't see tears. It's the Botox. There are no tears coming out of her eyes. That's not true. It was a little wet. It does make you feel something.

I saw real tears. I did make one for KB, but I think it's a little misleading because I used Olivia Rodrigo and it's Trader, I think it's a song. I don't think KV's the traitor, but I felt the pain. Wow. You know? For sure. I think KB just saw him at Edmund, right?

as like his son like she needed to like take care of him yeah but she did the same thing like if she like i get what you guys are saying about like waiting till the end but it's like if you really do care about the person like give them the courtesy of breaking up beforehand listen those tv producers are very good at what they do this was the one i thought like is going to affect him in real in real life like she shouldn't have done this she should have done it without the dress on i'm going to play devil's advocate though it is a tv show and they need people to walk down the aisle. What a, what a shitty ending of the show if nobody did.

She did leave the altar walking with Edmund, and I feel like usually they split it. Right. I also did not, my eyes did not well up once during this. She took one for the team. She's a hero. Okay, wait. Can we talk about, um, Sparkle? Sparkle, Megan.

She's so unsparkly to me, like as a person. I love Jordan. Jordan was my favorite the whole season. Jordan's silent crying when he didn't say anything and he just cried. I was like, oh my God. Fan edit. Are you kidding? The single tier?

Yeah, she's the villain. Yeah, wait, Justin, why didn't I didn't see the Sparkle Megan? It was midnight. We had two hours. I was like, let's go. I just found, like, her whole thing. Is she like that wealthy? Why is she acting like?

She has to be. I mean, they talk like she is. I saw somewhere that she's making like 800K a year or something. I mean, listen, I'm not saying that's not a lot of money. That's an incredible amount money. But if you make 800K a year, most people, including Sparkle Megan, develop a certain type of budget. That could be very wrong.

I saw it on like a random Instagram. What's crazy to me though is the fact that like she knew all this in the pods. Like bitch, you know he was a dad. He told you so many times like life is different when you have kids. Like you're going to have to sacrifice a lot. So like just letting you know. And she was like, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine. But that's just so.

And then she like fought to meet Luca. Remember she like cried and she was like. Like, so I'm not going to meet him before I walk down the aisle? And then, like, you meet him. And then you're like, tell Luca, I love him or whatever the hell she said. When he was like, my one regret is introducing you to Luca, I felt that. That one I felt. Those were real tears.

Yeah. That was real. Yeah. That was real. Wait, Chris, we'll have a question for you about Sparkle, Megan. What kind of car do you think she drives? She drives a range rover. She already told us.

After all, that, it's a range rover? Just tell someone you have a range rover. And I literally guessed that the first time she, the first episode one of. She screams Ranger over. She is screaming. All right. So she has money. While I definitely felt it, wanting to protect Luca, you know, as a parent, you're just like, oh, my God, I introduce it to her kid.

But, like, Luca will not remember this moment. He won't give a shit. Well, the fact, that's not true because it's on a national television show. I'm just saying, like, the way Jordan is reacting, and that's how I, like, to be clear, if I were in Jordan's shoes, I would have reacted exactly how he reacted. And I would have felt exactly how he's felt. and I would have felt genuine regret for introducing, you know, this person I was dating. That being said, in reality, it's just not that big of a deal. Like, you know, it's not going to.

I don't think that's, like, your position to tell him that. Like, clearly he's very sacred about who he's bringing into his son's life. But that's like a. So the fact that, like, he had this woman where he clearly warned her several times of what this life would be like, she then sat there and, like, begged to meet his son. She introduces his son. And then in her breakup speech, she's like, tell Luca I said hi or Luca's amazing, whatever the fuck she said. And it's like, oh, on a personal level, she treated it as if it wasn't as sacred as he made it very clear to her that it was.

I'm just saying, I think a lot of parents, and as an apparent I say this, is like there's a, it's almost as if like I introduced him to someone I thought was going to be a stepmom and now he'll never see her again. And that wasn't fair to Luca. But he never said that. I know. He just said, I regret in introducing her. I feel like it's implied. I get what you're saying. I actually just think, I think what you were saying is really, that part was true is that

she, uh, sparkle, whatever her name is, like, didn't. I know, it's like stupid. I know, it's very catchy. Keep a sparkle. Yeah. That it wasn't as important to her. And that's why they're not together. Because that relationship while she's like, oh, I want to take care of him and raise him

be, like she didn't really understand the magnitude. of being a parent. Well, she shouldn't because she's not. Right. But to him, that's his whole world. He clearly is like a guy that worked hard. You know, he has a lot less money than her. You know, he's like, whatever, the whole thing.

And she wants her own big life. And she's like, yeah, I love your kid. He's so cute. But it's like so it's not a big deal. I do think Megan was between the three women who broke up with the men. I think she was the most sincere and actually evaluating the relationship. to see if she can marry this guy. I think, like, KB, early on,

Edmund made it very clear. Sweet man, great heart, not ready for what I'm looking for. Allie, I think, knew pretty early on. I can't marry this guy. When she asked him about that tequila bottle and that, yeah, as soon as he had a tequila bottle. She was immediately out, right?

And I think Megan, Jordan was a guy who very much wasn't her type, but had obviously a lot of great qualities that like she knew she should want to like right you know it's just like hey it's what my heart versus my head and like she had never dated a man with a kid before she like needed to meet the kid in a way like she i think she really searched her heart and then by the time she got to the end which was all the more like she didn't take him to the altar i think it was more more real for her and i knowing how this shit works she had to fight with producers to like break up with

Jordan the way she did. She had to like flat out refuse. They were meetings. People came in. There were probably several conversations with Sparkle Megan being like, hey, listen, what about this? And she was like, no. She definitely had to put her foot down. So I knew it was over when she walked into his apartment. When she saw that Luca had his own room and that there was like a pullout couch was where he slept. I was like, she's never going to marry this guy. Because I always say this about, you know, people say, oh, how long, you know, how are you and Rob still together? You know, it's 23 years or whatever. I'm like, love is like basic, but it's actually lifestyle. You have to agree in the way you live every day together. Because if you don't,

you're always going to fight about that. And you're never going to respect the person if you guys can't share the same values of your life and how you live your life every day. And I'm like, she walked in there. She's like, I just saw her face because I'd be the same. I'm like, I'm not living here. Like, I can't live this life. And so while I do think that she really did love him and she wanted to see if she could make it work and meet the kid and fall love with the kid or whatever it was like she was done at that moment you think it was that or the chicken smoothie oh my god the chicken smoothie was psycho so crazy yeah but the guy it's like his life's like she didn't like the way you know he's like whatever i don't have to eat we have to eat

and i understand in his mind it's as simple as that but she's someone that wants to probably travel the world and she's a worldly person and she wants to eat different things and that's under like that'd be unattracted to me if a guy was like i don't want to if rob didn't want to like try food from around the world i'd be like we're out because that's that's your lifestyle yeah i don't think it was as much the money as jordan acted like it was and more i'm sure that's like a soft a sore spot for him sure but the way he presented or at least the way it was edited it is if he accepted mediocrity in a way that she did not want it's like everything was comfortable and he obviously it was centered around his love for his son and being a dad. And obviously, that's the one thing he made

very clear that he wasn't okay with mediocrisy, which I totally respect, is like being present, being an amazing father, which is paramount and more important than anything else. But I think you can have your cake and eat it too. And he just always felt like average was good enough. And I think she just wanted to hear, whether it was about money or to your point, Crystal, like just like adventurous like or just to have a drive a drive for something right out you know having a drive to be a good parent you could argue it should be bare minimum and like you you do want a partner that can be passionate about something and have a shared mutual interest and I think that's where she she couldn't find that with Jordan it also is nuts he's like I want to like

watch a movie you know and and she's like maybe once a month like maybe we can do that, but I want to be like out on the town. It's like that, sorry, like you chose a man with a son. Like, he's not going out all the time. He is at home cooking dinner and watching a movie and going to bed early. Like that's what his lifestyle is. He told you in the pods. So it is frustrating. I do think, too, that like part of Megan's attraction to Jordan was that she recently lost her father. And I think that she felt like there was like a higher, like her dad sent Jordan to her. And so I think that that swayed her decision very quickly. And I think that it kind of clouded some of the things that he was saying in the pods about his lifestyle. Also, like, it really

seems like Jordan is a good guy with like a high, with high character. And I think she, she certainly saw that. And I wouldn't surprise me as we all have exes who just aren't that, you know, who are a little toxic, who don't make us. feel is validated and loved. And I think she really struggled because I think she saw a great guy, but it wasn't her guy. Well, especially because the other guy she was going to go with was Mike and

he was like literally toxic central. I'll never get over his comments about health and diabetes. Yeah. He really thought he was the shit. He did. He was part of a club. I thought they were a good match. But then when he like talked to her at that like cowboy bar place whatever, I was like, this guy, this

full looks dumb. Well, there is a reunion. I think they announced that, what, yesterday or something like that? Yeah. What does that look like? I'm very excited. It's entertaining. There's a couple of like past cast audience questions.

Like there's like a performance or two random. I hear it's going to be juicy. Hopefully not that juicy because we will certainly have some love is blind cast members following the reunion. So wait. What? We have not spoken about it. the news that came out today. Tell us more.

Megan has a baby. Sparkle Megan? Is this confirmed, though? I thought this was a rumor. Sparkle Megan is pregnant? Prego with child? It has a child? Wait, Us Weekly.

Love is Blind. Sparkle Megan spotted with mystery man and a baby after season 9 finale. Unconfirmed if this is her man and her baby. It's Us Weekly. She was spotted with a baby and a man. She could have been in line out of Chipotle. They're well-respected news source.

They did a desperate housewise photo. with the real house was in Salt Lake City. They know what they're doing. No, I read that. I kind of was diving into it this morning. Because I'm obsessed. You guys, I'm obsessed with it. But it looked like, I mean, they filmed...

The U.S. Sun. Journalists. Journalists. But, you know, they filmed this a year and a half ago, so I was like... Oh, no, it's totally possible. It says an infant, though. Like, can you have, like, is infant the right age range? A mystery man and child in the same photograph.

They're also not even... They're also not even in a picture together on this. It'll make a headline, but it won't necessarily be true. All right, fine. You guys need a little too much confirmation. I'm going to believe it. I remember when it was during the pandemic, I went running, often as I did without a shirt. And the paparazzi somehow, I don't know, we're bored.

So I was living in Venice at the time and they were out. That was a good shot of me. And the headline was Nick Vile running nearly naked as if I decided to go out streaking. But they weren't wrong. You're outriding nearly an age. In a way, for sure. One of my favorite headlines. Once again, that's confirmation and Sparkle Megan as a baby.

That's my tagline today. Well, we know, Crystal, you've got to get going. But thanks for coming on. Come back more. Watch some more reality TV. I mean, I'm stuck on. It's a true joy to watch the show. It's like so much fun.

And I can't believe that I get so many, I think eight seasons. You need to watch Temptation Island when it comes out. That sounds horrific. Right after Age of Attraction. What is Age of Attraction? That's our show that we're hosting on Netflix. Is it out yet? Ageless dating.

2026. Oh my gosh. Okay. Wait. I'm going to have a lot of things to say about that show when I'm very excited. It's very good. Thank you guys for having me. I'm thrilled and I can't wait to come back and watch Humble Brack

Here is the thing about cleaning products. We use them every single day on the counters where we prep food, on the floors, where our pets and our babies walk. But here's a question. It's easy to miss because there are so many products out there claiming to be clean or natural, but often they still contain ingredients, linked to hormone disruption, skin irritation, and respiratory issues. And in the U.S., cleaning brands aren't even required to list every ingredient on their labels. So you could be using something harmful without even knowing it.

Thank you so much, guys. Thanks for having me. That's good to be with you. Yeah, same. Where should we start? Your first comedy special? How did you come up with? Like, there's just so many questions. Entitled Housewife.

Yeah, it's, first special's coming out on Friday. So exciting. I'm shitting myself. Are you? A little bit. Yeah. I'm assuming you've seen it, though. Yeah.

Do you like it? No. You know, when you watch something so many times that you're like, it's not funny anymore. Yeah. Just editing it and like, you know, you're like, use that angle on that face. No, I'm really excited. We turned down all the streamers and, like, ended up making it ourselves. I paid for it.

I directed it. I produced it with, like, an all-female badass team. And so we got to make it exactly how we wanted. And it's coming out exactly how we wanted. And, yeah, I'm really excited. What made you do? I mean, that's obviously amazing, first of all. Like, and the, you really obviously must believe in it and believe in yourself.

But, like, what was that? What was that? It's kind of like that thought process of saying, you know, there's these opportunities to work with the streamers and I'm sure part of that process is like every streamer has their rules and their way. And I'm guessing, you know, while all great, you had a belief in yourself and you were betting on yourself. Yeah. Yeah, I had to. Yeah, it's kind of, I've always done characters and stuff. I've always loved like Sasha Baron Cohen and Eric Andre and stuff. And for some reason, I've been doing stand-up for about 15 years and characters the whole time too.

but for some reason there's always been like confusion like why the characters like why are you dressing up as a young boy why are you playing like young hillary clinton or like anything and uh i just think i don't know we all have a lot of personalities especially women you go through like you know a few personalities a month a day a day truly a day um so i just kind of was like the only way we can really make this exactly how we want with like half of it is the character half of it is me as myself and then there's like a sketch in the middle. I'm like ripping through Boston, the streets of Boston on this custom golf cart, like past Fenway Park. This golf cart has like wine racks on it, wine bottles, everything's breaking. And yeah, everyone was kind of like, no, especially for your

first stand-up special, people have a lot of rules and like it has to be this long and like, no, just you or just the character and none of the sketch. Like, it just, no one definitely would have put the money up, the amount of money needed. to make this scale of a thing. So since I've kind of been on tour for like the past five years, doing this character and all the people that have supported me and like paid to come to the shows,

like this is for them. You know, I was able to make it because of them. So I was like, I want to give it to them the way they deserve to see it. So you were rich, were. Well, it's been lucrative. Like the character was birthed out of like one of my darkest,

darkest fucking moments and it's I just never thought like this would have happened ordinarily I wouldn't pry about your darkest moment but like I do want to know how how she came to be the entitled yes I mean did you guys get a little down on the dumps over the

pandemic? Yeah yeah sure not at all Nick was living in Venice we had just started dating it's just weird like I had I had some I had some personal highlights during the pandemic so I was like oh no the world's burning it's sucks. I'm sorry. Yeah. No, I get that.

Yeah. Next, just like strap on a pair of roller skates. What are you guys so mad about? I knew the world was burning, but I was like, I keep just like, I don't know, everything. You're like, I'm having a good time. I'm cozy. I got immune to weed during the pandemic. I would say I got immune to booze, but. Yeah, I was doing like the morning merlo. Yep. Like. The morning merloos, that's tough.

Yeah. It's tough on the teeth. Yeah. You know, like, yeah, we couldn't, we weren't supposed to leave, but like, if God forbid you walk out of here, you're like, your teeth are brown, you know. You're like, yeah, I've tied one on this morning. You used to call that George Washington teeth. Yes, when it looks wooden. Yes, of course. Yes.

So the pandemic hit and, like, you know, I'm used to doing stand up every night and performing and having that outlet. And I grew up in tough cul-de-sac outside of war-torn Portland. My sister and my parents still live up there. sister is an ER nurse. And so she was like, you should probably come home. I don't know if mom and dad are going to survive this. They're both kind of like high risk. Dad's large man. And so I went up to Oregon and I was like, helping my sister out for a bit. Just like, you know, she was like, I could die. Whatever. There was like no PPE. Remember? It was like, dark times in the hospitals there. And I was kind of helping her for a little bit. And then I started spiraling and like

drinking every day. I cut bangs on Instagram live. Wow. It got dark. You felt. Even dark. Were they even? No. Of course not. They were like Tanya Harding, like. That was a while time.

I also shaved my head. It was like, you know what? Fuck it. Why not? I gave myself layers. You did? Yeah. I think it worked out, but like there's no one to judge it.

So, who knows? Layers are fairly safe. You can fuck them up and they still kind of look okay. Yeah, you just meld them in a little bit. Yeah. So I kind of eventually got like really, really down and like drinking to the point of like, like, oof, this is like kind of scary. And my sister was like, I've got patients to take care of.

I can't deal with you as well. Like, you should go to mom and dad's. And so she like shoveled me out over there. And I went to my parents and they were just having the time of their lives. They were like, this golf is all we have. My dad was golfing three times a day. And like, instead of wearing a mask, he was wearing a golf glove on both hands. And my mom was like, fuck this.

I don't want to stay inside. I don't want to go to the thirsty lion and have a white call with girls. So she's had a lot of health issues herself She's like breast cancer and a brain tumor So she gets turned off half a claw And she was just like Yeah And so I was watching them

And I was just like, you guys are out of your damn minds And it just kind of inspired this thing I had packed a bunch of wigs to go up to Oregon anyways Because I knew I might have like a mental breakdown As you do, yeah Just in case Let's see, you know, let's bring some toys And they left the house

And one day I just like I put this bob wig on and I went into their closet and I found a polo and a scor and a visor and my dad's Oakley's and I threw on the AirPods and I just looked in the mirror and it was like I just started improvising and it was the I was like Scott started yelling at a husband I don't have and these two fake kids Dashel and Maccabee and I truly laughed for the first time in like months and I started filming myself because I am a bit of a narcissist at the end of day and I was like maybe I should put this online and I thought no you can't do that it's dark times and I took an edible and I was like fuck it yeah that's what that's yes I gave you all the power

I was like, if it made me laugh, maybe it'll make... I showed my sister, and she was like, I think it's funny. And I posted the first video, and it just, like, blew up. And I just never... I always slept, like, Chris Pratt DM'd me and was like, if you're making a movie, I'm playing your husband. So, now we've been working on a movie, and it just has, like, turned into this amazing thing.

And so, yeah, after that, she was birthed, and it kind of, like, birthed this whole, like, entitled sphere during this manic episode. And I don't know, people have just latched on to it. And I made them laugh and I don't know. Yeah, housewives and just women. I've met so many amazing women now, like just international, like even in Dublin. And yeah, it's just been this amazing thing.

That's one of my favorite parts of your stand-up special, actually, is the panning to the audience. Yeah. Everyone's got a wig. Everyone came dressed ready to go. Yeah. Everyone brought all their wigs to Portland. Yes. Everyone comes dressed as the character, which is really fun.

Like, our first tour date, we didn't know what was going to happen. and it was just unhinged, like, visors descending on the cities and, like, yeah, we have to call 911 at, like, a lot of the shows, just because, you know, it's like a multi-generational thing, too, which has been really beautiful. Like, a grandma would bring her daughter. And they're like, this is the only thing we get along about is your character. And they'll come, but then, like, the grandma will get too lit or, like, she'll take an edible for the first time or, like, some mushrooms, you know, and fall down the stairs. Oh, God. I'm so. It's been a wild fun thing. But I think the show also just gives like, they're like Girls Night Out, like, gives people the permission to just be like, we're getting fucking, like, wild tonight. I feel like you have raised the, like, cost of visors. Like, I feel like they were definitely, no one was buying them. Yeah, about 20 bucks. We were very confused, honestly, of why they were invented in the first place. For sure. Never a good look. It doesn't really make a lot of sense because you can still see the man's bald spot, you know? And I feel like that's what we're using it to cover. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. accentuates it. It does. It really accentuates it. It's like a nice corset for the ball spot.

It is. Yeah. Not a corset. Has your golf game gotten better? It's a tree skirt. Yeah. A tree skirt. It has. I always was like golf is too serious. My dad is like a huge golfer, like played in

college and kind of just like takes it very seriously and it's like, we don't drink and I was like, you know, no. Dad. Yeah, dad. This is, did. Because it's such an unpredictable game when you suck or you're good but yeah I've like fully joined a country club

I like play all the time I it's really good for the mental state yeah even my dad was a golf pro for like his whole marriage with my mom and it's probably why they got a divorce because she was like you've moved us to every state trying to be a pro golfer like we've got to stop

yeah and at one point he was the 11th longest drive hitter in the world wow he's strong how is Scott doing Oh, Scott, you know, he's on the decline. He loses everything. He doesn't listen. You know, he's just a man.

Have you pulled any inspiration from some of your reality TV housewives? You know, I don't watch a lot of reality TV. It's so funny, though. You're like, did Katie tell you that I did a cameo on your season of The Bachelor? Yeah, someone told me that. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was your season. I think it, yeah, it was, um, did you guys? do a thing where you acted out breaking up.

Yes. Okay. I was the like the trained actor that came in to act out for you guys how to do that. That's when I got punched in the face. Yes. You got punched in the face? Yeah. Whoa. Whoa. Well, slapped. Slap. Yeah. Yeah.

And I, they didn't, they didn't tell me and she wound the fuck up and it, yeah, I heard a crack. I honestly thought she broke my jaw. Was there words leading up to that or did you just begin with a slap? I don't think this is But they all had to like fake break up with me

Yeah How did you get the call to do that? Yeah My friend was like a friend of the producers And he was like, what are you doing? And I was like, nothing. Nothing. You know?

Like living in West Hollywood And I was like, yeah, I'm right down the street. And so we did it. And I just remember I had been on a couple TV shows since, I mean, it was on Wild and out. Like, you know, nothing my head. parents were very pro love they were like really you're going to be a battle rapper

love that honestly that was my show oh really that was my shit that's alabama yeah let me some wad and out which watched all the clips on youtube because i didn't have oh my gosh for a cable or whatever it was on yeah yeah matt rife and i were like we were on in the same season and uh and then but that small thing i was on an episode of that it was like 10 seconds long and everyone from home was like, you've made it. This is seriously it. Like, you're fucking famous.

People are posting pictures of you and them in high school and being like, we were besties. I knew her. Yeah. And the girl I was living with at the time was trying to get on The Bachelor, so it was huge for her.

A dream of mine would have been to be a wild and out girl. Just one of the ones who was like, there standing. I was like, you guys were just hot. So hot. But you wanted to be a groupie? No, no, no.

They had like their own. It was kind of like ring girl you know it was like their own version of that I don't I wouldn't call them a groupie they were they was a job so it was sag yeah we're sad thank you did you stay for the whole date did you watch

I think so after you performed I remember at first being like shit he's tall I didn't know you were like nine feet tall and you know there's a real celeb factor to that you know is it still your bio his bio for a long time on Instagram was taller in person yeah because that would be the first thing people would say to me

Yeah. Very great. And then, because I always, like, when someone says that, I was like, oh, so you thought I was uglier. That's a nice way of people saying you're better looking than I thought. Yeah, I mean, like, I wasn't a fan. It's got tall or short? What does that mean if a lot of people say to me, you're shorter in person? I think it's different with women.

You're totally, totally. You align that with being hotter. So I'm a couple of questions. For men. So you were a lesbian for a while. Do you want to talk about that? Also happened during the pandemic. Not anymore?

No. Well. Never know. No. No, it's very like opposite. Yeah, I don't know. We had so much time during a pandemic. I was like, why not?

Right. Might as well try out everything. Yeah. I've got all the time to listen to this woman's stories. And I don't know. It was, I never, I mean, I did. did a lot of sports growing up, but I was never like, I'm for sure by. You know?

And then I just, like, got a crush on this, like, girl. We were, like, at a bachelorette together. And I was like, everyone's so loud at bachelorette. And she was, like, kind of quiet. And you're like, she's mysterious. Yeah, I want to know more. The mystery of it all. Yeah, it never ends well.

It starts with a look, right, Mary? Yeah. Turns out she was just fucking quiet. Yeah. There's, like, nothing there. She just didn't speak often. But it was, yeah, so we dated for three. years we lived together and um i know yeah yeah that happened way too fast as they say what was the timeline

of the living together pretty quick yeah yeah yeah her idea are yours hers because she was like you got recruited yeah and i was petrified she's like this is what we do the sad card and the gay card yeah yes yeah but i was like kind of on tour at that point non-stop also so i was gone a lot but then going home i'd be like i would like wait at the airport a bit longer because I was like, I don't want to go home. Oh, you know about that life. What's that? Like, being, just staying at the gym

because you just, like, didn't want to go home. Yeah. Yeah. I've been in relationships where I was about to walk in the door, and I was just like, yeah. Here we go. Here we go. I like to think that you got to the door and they're like,

fuck, I forgot the grocery. Yes. Well, it's not, you're hanging out the gym, and you sit in the car in the driveway for a little bit. That's so bad. You stop at the door. You eat in the car? Yeah.

Grace yourself. We just were polar opposites and there's so many people that are like, that's what makes it perfect. And I was like in some cases, yeah, but like, I don't know, not for maybe just like also being two women, I don't know. She was just very healthy.

Not for the little stuff. Not for the little, she's so healthy. She's like vegan and I was like, I'm a Taco Bell gal, you know? And so it's just like, what do you want me to make for dinner? Fucking bark chips. Your diets have to be fairly similar. Yeah.

The content, like your day-to-day entertainment needs to be fairly similar. You can't negotiate TV shows and dinner every fucking day. Yeah. The food just became such a big thing that I like, I immediately, I was like, I'm the fat dad.

Like, I'm the fat father in the relationship. Because my dad used to, like, eat McDonald's before dinner and shove it under his car seat. We'd be like, Dad, can I clean your car? And then we find it. And we'd be like... I'd be like, now I'm Stevo.

I did that elementary school. I used to, like, hide sandwiches. I didn't. like and then one time and like a garbage bag and I hit it under my bed and then like it was like got real gross oh yeah I did that too as a kid and I got caught it was her rice errone I would stuff it in like I would never touch baloney no yeah a baloney sandwich no fuck right off I actually just saw someone um on TikTok they're I guess they're like teenage daughter wouldn't clean a room so they made like homemade rice poop which just looked to be like black rice and like sprinkled it around and like sprinkled it around and their room and then she's like filming her and she's like oh my god what is that over there it's a rat poop and the girl's like wow he's like well you need to clean your room so yeah you've got rats and not only rats shit and also shit the biggest difference between dating a man and a mate dating a woman the the mind like the intuition the smarts the caring did you get away

Did you get away with more dating a man? You know, everything, yeah. That was the reason I was like, I need like a simpleton. Like, I need a guy named Spencer that's just going to fucking sit there. I was literally like, I want someone to treat me poorly. Someone who doesn't want to ask about how I'm feeling today. Yeah, and she would look at me and she'd be like, your energy's off. And I'd be like, I can't, I can't do this.

Yeah. I can't. No, it's truly. But like, also such a good person. Right. But that was hard too because I was like, now I have to be extra bad. Right. Because I can't, I can't live up to that.

so I just missed and like I don't know and you become such like friends that it was like sexual you know I respect you too much yeah yeah yeah it feels like a working relationship you know like it feels wrong yeah and there was so much hard

like we both we both got Teslas and I was like between the Teslas and the vibrators all I'm doing is plugging shit in I'm exhausted and it's like I, you remember to plug in the vibrator, but not your Tesla. Now you're pissed because you can't drive anywhere the next day. You can't leave. You can't leave.

Or second house. Yeah. Yeah. I actually was thinking about that this morning. I was because Nick and I share a car. And I thought this was going. And Nick and I share a car. We share a car.

And I was running late this morning to my doctor's appointment and had no gas. And I was thinking like the fact that he did not. I got a text. The car has no gas. I ignored it. No, he didn't anymore. And you know how I sent that text? Siri, send a text to hubby, heart, and heart emoji.

I have no gas. I don't see a hubby in your contacts. Oh. There's no hubby in your contact. Siri roasting you right now. Sorry, Siri literally just roasted you. That's crazy. You're like, well, I'm a lonely bitch.

I'm surprised my didn't call. Yeah, no. But I was thinking, like, if we had a Tesla, we would never remember to plug that bitch shit. Oh, yeah. Like, we would constantly be like, it's dead. Oh my God, there's no, yeah, we can't go to you. We're stuck.

Yeah. It's looking like an Uber black ex-saday. The amount of times Nick just like mosey's in to like next to my desk and he's like, hey, my phone's at 2%. I need to be able to get home. Can I put my phone in? Yeah, could never. Always.

Dating a man. Do you have, like, plugging in my phone is a chore. I agree. It's up there with drinking water. Yeah. Yeah. Drinking water. What's crazy is Nick doesn't plug his phone in at night.

I don't do that either. Isn't that crazy? It is a, it's hard work. There are some small things that make no sense that in my brain, I'm like, I just, I'm going to procrastinate this shit. Is that because you, like, you have to have it right next to you when you sleep or just because you're like, this is a part of me that also likes to see, you know, it's like, you know how like there's a Seinfeld episode about this, like the gas gauge? Like how far can you go on empty? There's a little bit of that and I think in a lot of men. Damn.

Yeah. Yeah. And I think there's some some deep-rooted childhood trauma. I think the opposite is deep-rooted in us because whether we're with a man or not, we know that we're going to have to, you know, do that for you as well.

Exactly. So we're like, we better have our shit in order. No, I have placed a charger, right, on his nightstand. Yeah, no, I would say once a week I plug in it at night. And there's a charger right next to. That's the bliss of the new phone, though. You don't have to charge it for a couple days.

Really? I feel like if I don't plug my phone in at night, like I'll miss an alarm and then something serious happens and yeah yeah like one time of that and you're like well i'm the one who sets the alarms every night and i'm also the one who has like the nan it on our baby we wake up but we have a daughter so like yeah yeah not like a get up alarm like house alarm yeah yeah house alarms i'm in charge of setting it and i have the worst intruder syndrome so i am like on that shit like nobody's business and we put like the we have sliding doors we put like the poles up yeah that's good we're

like really in it um to do that where's where we're what were we're talking about Why would I get into that? Plugging in phones. Just men and women in them. Yeah. You should probably get him one of those like mag safe ones where you just like flop it down. I think he probably stole it. I'd find a way not to use it.

He would. He would set it beside it. Just like he does the hamper. The clothes. There's a hamper and I don't put it in the hamper. No. Yeah, that was the other thing. I feel like whether or not you, how similar you are like every relationship has a lazy piece of shit and like an obsessive, compulsive, clean animal.

you know right like just you kind of fall into those we and um in my like i've always been the clean one except when i dated a woman like i would clean the dishes and she'd be back there scraping it yeah and i'd be like okay i'm filth yeah i'm trying to lean into it yeah and then you lean into it and you're like i guess i don't have to clean anything up so why you know so i kind of get it uh anything you're most nervous about releasing this stand-up no nothing i mean i put so much money I jokingly was like to my dog this morning I was like you better be prepared to not have wet food for a while

it'll be kibble only it was a yeah it was a big sacrifices will be made and it will be with you starting with you starting with you sweetie little mutton you little designer golden doodle fog not going to get groomed for maybe two months yeah you're mad at it okay go mad at the trip's going to come in I think you're going to be okay

you got Chris Pratt you may you know reaching out I hope so I'm just I hope people like it. It was so fun making it. And I do kind of feel like the more you trust your gut and you're like, I believe in this. And like, even I took a risk and like the lighting people came from the music industry. They like worked with Billy Eilish. And my female producers were like, this isn't normal for a stand-up special. And I was like, that's what I want. Yeah. I want it to be different. I want it to look like because the show is a big party. And so and then after they were like, that was the move. Like, this is sick. And so, yeah,

I hope people just like it. And I hope. I don't know. I think it's going to be great. And I think the best comedy is one, obviously, like, that is, is relatable for the masses. And the entitled housewife, I think, you know, is that just relatable to everyone. And obviously women, but men and specifically, because, like, you know, also in men, because, like, we are. I think pandemic till now has created a bunch of, like, we become a, we, everyone's a narcissist. But, like, you know, it's like, so are we. And, you know, we all become these entitled kind of self-serving pieces of shit.

And like I think you, you know, your character is a very funny way of looking in the mirror about kind of like how ridiculous we all are at times. And I think that's own it. Yeah. And it's a, it's a fun, you offer a fun way to laugh at ourselves. And I think that's the best kind of comedy. I try. I try. You know, yeah, it's funny because a lot of the men come to the show and they're like, I'm Scott.

Yeah. And they like lean into it too. They're like, yeah, I'm a piece of shit. Love. Well, if they don't know already, where can people enjoy your comedy special that comes out this Friday?
