I'm so good. This is a very special day for us here at Crappins because it is the beginning of season 18 of Real Housewives of Orange County.

And how do you feel? It's the hundredth season of Real Housewives. Yeah, I feel fantastic. Is it? Yeah, it is. I feel like partially I wonder if they- That's not true. No, they're promoting it. They're saying this is the hundredth season of all of a real housewives. So this is the Peggy Sula ham of housewives season. It is. It is. Um,

wow. Orange County. So we've been waiting for this. We were feeling like this is the big one. This is the big one. You know, every year there's kind of like, um, every year there is a Real Housewives franchise that is just like, that's the one for the year. Like that's, that is it. Last year was Salt Lake City, which fled into January. The year before that it was Miami, you know, New York had it for many years. This based off of this premiere, I cannot imagine any other Housewives this year that's going to be better than Orange County. I know it's only been one episode, but it came blazing out of the gate. So strong, so good.

Every scene was hilarious and riveting. It was amazing. What did you think? Loved it. I'm much simpler in my thought pattern. Loved it. I don't know that I need to jump. Here's my thing with what you're saying. They opened with a clip of Teddy on this show. I don't approve of it. I don't like it. I don't know where that came from. And I hate it. I hate that. I hate that for the show. So if this is gonna be the best season ever, that's not the way to hint that at me. Now, the rest of it, love the rest of it. So we'll get into that, but in a second,

sorry, not in a second. We'll get into that in a second. But for now, go to our Patreon because we're having a very special thing happening on Patreon.

And one other thing before we dive into it, in case you missed the announcement earlier this week, because you may be just a Housewives girlie, you may not listen to Below Deck, you may not watch Dubai. We have organized some of our back catalog.

Some people, if they were like, hey, how do I watch, how do I listen to the Watcher Crappens recaps of all of season eight of Real Housewives of New York? Now you don't have to go digging through the back catalog, piecing it together. We've created these playlists so you can go directly to it. Like, okay, Real Housewives of New York, scroll down, season eight, here are all the Crap Pins recaps. So go to watchacrapins.com. They're on our website. There's a new tab there that says back catalogs. Our friend Paul has been organizing it. And so far we have back catalogs organized for New Jersey, New York, Orange County, um, below deck mad and house of the dragon. So go check that out and we're going to have obviously more series going to be organized that way and we will make announcements as they come online.

So go check it out. Yeah, do it. Okay. So here we go. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, September 7th, 2023. And we are at the reunion last year's reunion. Now look, we all knew something was really wrong with Shannon at last year's reunion, mostly because of her hair. Her hair was a disaster. Her look was that her curly headed, the clips were

raw. The clip was sunflower. Yeah, it was, it was all, it was, she looked like a big piece of corn, you know? Like she was wearing that yellow, her hair was up, everything was, everything was wrong. I'm surprised Pamela did not get fired after that, after that travesty. In fact, Pamela not only did not get fired, she actually wound up coming as Shannon's plus one

to the party today. So Pamela has, is really working her way up the ladder here. I think if anybody needs to consider rehab right now is Pamela because Pamela is clearly working under the influence. The clips were not clipping today either. And listen, I'm not a hair. I literally do not care about people's hair or clothes. That's not, I'm not that kind of gay. I'm not that shallow to even care. So I'm not saying like, Oh my God, it's so tacky. I'm saying literally the clips are

like taped to the back of her head. Like what are you can visibly see them? They literally look like the slides that pop out of an airplane in a water landing. Okay. It was like, what is happening under that hair? Yeah. Pamela. And I really like Pamela because she looks like old school Alexis Bellino, doesn't she? She came back looking like Alexis Bellino, which is weird. I really like Pamela because she looks like old school Alexis Bellino, doesn't she? She came back looking like Alexis Bellino, which is weird. I feel like this show is bullying Shannon on every front. There I said it.

Everyone is going to get so mad about Shannon's DUI. You have the right to be. DUIs are disgusting. She deserves everything she's going to get from the audience. I don't care. Stop bullying Shannon. Okay? I'm not saying I don't care about her DUI.

I'm just saying it's not an excuse to bully the poor woman. But by the way, I was about to say leave Shannon alone. No, don't leave Shannon alone because you guys bullying Shannon is going to lead to the best Shannon season we've ever had. So keep it up. Yeah. By the way, I was going to say that Pam let's me, it looks like Alexis Blino meets Erin Leachie or whatever her, how do you say it? Is it Leachie? Leachie? Whatever from the Millhouse, what's in New York? Leachie. I always thought it was Leche, but I think you're right. It is Leachie or whatever her, how do you say it's Leachie, Leachie, whatever from New York. I always thought it was Lashay, but I think you're right. And Nick Lashay, there's some Nick Lashay in there.

Yeah, this was a Savage episode because I feel like I've just gotten so used to these shows where someone gets a DUI and everyone gathers around and it's like, you need our support right now. We're going to get you through it. This they were like, oh, fuck her. They were all like, fuck her. She got a DUI. I was like, this is kind of hilarious. So we see Shannon at the reunion and Shannon doing the usual stuff like, um, do I go out

and drink sometimes? Yes. Like for you to say that I need rehab, for you to say that I'm calling people every single night hold on one second I hear that it's about 11 p.m. in Paris right now I'm just gonna call my friend they are saying that I need rehab right now can you believe it they are saying okay all right all right Marie Claire all right bye I'm here to say that I can I can oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh breathalyze breathalyze I'm breathalyzing right now because I'm so offended at you saying that I need to breathalyze, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, watching it back, I was like, oh my God, this is so awkward. And then Heather getting that sad look on her face, like, you know,

the Heather nod, the black eyed Heather nod where she's like, Shannon, no one said it was every single night, Shannon. And I was like, oh no, Heather's doing the, I feel sorry for you and your poor, like, oh, she's giving her the double look. You know, I've felt so bad for Shannon. And it gets so Shannon to be there on the sofa with her crazy hair and that big yellow dress to be like, I don't need a breathalyzer. I mean, DUIs, I would never get a DUI, more like a DYI,

because I am going to learn how to make fresh lemonade out of my lemons because of you bitches. I have been doing everything myself. I've been doing yourself it for so long. I'm raising three daughters who are now college. Why is anybody feeling for that? Can I get a drink please? So, um.

I've been doing cream cheese and salmon by myself for years now. I do everything by myself, except ship my products. For that I use ShipStation, which I love very, very much. DIY, do it yourself. That is a perfect way to describe my entire relationship with John Jansen, in fact. It's just me in that relationship, as far as I could tell. So a reporter comes on the screen and it's like Shannon Bidour drove her car into a home and then decided to leave. Which I like the turner phrase

and then she made the decision to leave the home. These headlines, they show headlines, you know, she's arrested, DUI, you hit and run, here's what we know, blah, blah, blah. do you why you hit and run? Here's what we know, blah, blah, blah. They really didn't, they should have put up some other headlines that were like, was found, you know, 50 yards from her car, walking her dog, claiming she was just out walking Archie the entire time, because that's my favorite part. That was the best part of the story. And they really do need, I feel like there's enough housewives news that they need to have a gay on the scene for whenever there's a housewife thing. Cause this just isn't cutting it.

This lady's like, look at this house. I mean, this house, this is where she hit the house. And then she just shows like a sad little brick that has fallen off the house. No, you need a gay to be over there. Like that bitch hit this house right here. I'm going to ask the house how it feels. House, you got hit. You look stupid.

How do you feel about it? The house is crying. You guys, the house cannot even talk house. You got hit you look stupid. How do you feel about it? The house is crying you guys the house cannot even talk house. I need you to talk more a month more house Y'all this house is a bitch So we're gonna have to go to the commercial break until we can find a talking house in the meantime Shannon was walking her stupid dog over there and acting like that dog just had to pee. Can we let the woman walk her dog? I mean, seriously, here's what I have to say, not guilty. Thanks for coming to the news, y'all. I love that. I would totally be down for that. Well, maybe. I mean, there is, we do know at least one unemployed news reporter in Orange County,

but I don't think that Shannon wants to hear any reports filed by her, if you know what I'm saying. This is Alex Spelino reporting for Fox News 6. There was a car that hit this house, but the news just came in. It was driven by an old slut. So, you know, we have to consider that with the authorities. Back to you, Phil. This house has been hit in Orange County. It's a broken house, but it's not more broken up than Shannon B. Doar is with John Jansen, who is now my man, bitch. So. Johnny J. So now, now we have, um, we see Shannon talking to Heather Badish because John said to me, you're a drunken idiot. So I got in the car and I lost control. And I was like,

so you were acting like a drunk idiot, perhaps. Yep. The best way, the best way to prove people that you're not a drunk idiot is to drunkenly get in the car and drive into a house. Yeah. So five months later, and then of course, it's Emily and Shannon. Oh, no, I thought it was going to be Emily and Gina. Sorry. So Emily and Shannon are having lunch and then was like, how do you feel? Emily loves getting in lawyer mode and then grilling people on the stand. And every time she does it, they're already confessing. Like Emily has the easiest lawyer job ever. She's never even gotten anything out of anybody because she just goes after people who are already confessing. Pete Slauson And then she uses it against them the rest of the season. So, how do you feel?

And she's like, well, I am continuing to work on myself. I'm just making a lot of very, very poor decisions. Can I get that tequila please? Thank you so much. Thank you. If I would get a decent amount of support from David Bedor, I might be making richer decisions, but unfortunately I'm making very poor, poor decisions because I'm left all alone to raise three girls. And Emily's like, uh-huh. So do you drink, do drink? Um, listen, yes, of course she drinks. It's called taking your medicine. Okay. And Shannon's like, wow, I'm, uh, uh, I'm basically a two person max, max drink. I'm a two person max drink right now. I'm a two person max drink right now. Listen, I drink two drinks per day max.

Now are they tiki bowls? Perhaps. Are they straight vodka? Perhaps. But still just two drinks. I have two drinks every time I turn on the television channel max right now. And it's working out very, very well for me. Is that the HBO sound?

It's called max now. It's not TV. It's drink your max now. Bo. It makes sense to me. So then we see Tamar and Heather talking and Tamar's like, do you think she has an alcohol problem? Do you? And Heather's like, I do, I do. Let me nod my head with very black eyes, I do. I do, I do.

Are we talking about Shannon or are we talking about Gretchen Rossi? Because they're both bitches to me. So then we cut back to Emily and Shannon. Emily is like, do you ever feel like choosing sobriety is maybe the best thing for you? Chad I mean, I don't drink that often. I mean, two drinks a day is, I mean, that's barely, I mean, that's like barely drinking very much at all.

I mean, do you know how many hours go by between the second drink and then the first drink of the next day? It's barely anything at all. And then we see Gina in a chef's hat and she's like, I don't drink anymore. And she's like 20 years ahead of me. And I looked at what I looked like and I was like, I didn't fucking like it. And so I stopped drinking, but she still drink. I have a lot of things to say about Gina this episode, but we'll get to that. But Gina is on my the same thing and help Shannon in any way that now Gina can get revenge. Like, what's she going to get revenge on? Help Shannon and like keep her out of jail? Jaren, Gina takes and takes and takes, and she does not give anything back. And that's

going to be a theme for the rest of this episode, you will see. So now the ladies are all having dinner and Shannon goes, every day that I wake up, I just, I think about what happened. I think about how I could have just said I had a three drink a day max and I wouldn't be held accountable for that. But if I said two Amazon Cape, it's like, people are going to see, look for that third drink. I should have said three days max. I think about that every day when I wake up. Yeah. Every day I think I wake up and I think about what happened. And Tamara goes, is that after you have a drink? And we go that and then Shannon whips her head around and looks at her and she's like, I am done with people saying I'm the drunk that needs help because I'm not. I'm not.

I had a really bad night. I just, I can't talk about this right now. Oh, my tear actually tastes like absolute. That's crazy. I want to have that happen. That's actually delicious. Can I have an olive? I can't do it. I can't sit here. I got to walk out. I got to walk out. Now for the record, I would have driven out, but you know, I don't really have a license right now, so I'm going to walk out. I'm going to walk out because that's how I get everywhere at the moment. So the upbeat music is playing and you know, it's a Trixie classic. Excuse me, Bend a knee, don't you know I'm royalty? And then it's Emily's house.

Yeah. Guys, let's save our music for deserving people. Okay. When Emily comes on screen, all I really want to hear is hi, I. Okay. When, when Emily comes on screen, all I really want to hear is hi, I'm Teddy. Hi, I'm Teddy. Hi, I'm Teddy. So she's getting like, she's with Shane and he's like, there are gunning her butt, you know, and she was like, how does this work? And, um, oh, well, maybe no, this is not, I'm sorry, this is not the therapy gunning session. That must be later. This is her just working out and she's holding like a leg up and Shayna's like, wow.

Yeah, this is a Theragun scene. I'm sorry. Yeah, I thought so. Guys, you're being such a bad podcaster. I thought it was and like, he's joking, like putting the Theragun in her butt and stuff. And it's one of those like, whoa, Shayna and Emily find each other so sexy. You know what, guys, that is so great. I hope you guys have sex 90,000 times a day. And guess what? I don't want to picture either one of you naked ever and stop putting that in my head. You know what I mean? Just stop. Yeah. We can stop with this. So then we go, we're seeing other stuff. We go over to Jen's

yoga class and she's like, All right, everyone. Thank you so much. Like you have 10 seconds and then we move to a forearm plank. So thank you so much for getting into this pose. Thank you so much. And she goes, that's 10 seconds. If I ever go to a yoga class and someone is yelling out like that, I would very quietly be very angry, but of course, I wouldn't say anything because that's just not my nature. Shazam. Shannon's being wacky Shannon. So she's not bothered at all, Ben. She's looking great, she's feeling great,

she has a revenge body. Well, not her revenge clips in her ear, but she's my care man. Okay. Yeah, revenge against the house. Well, that house crashed into my car. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappin's commercial.

Peyton, it's happening. We're finally being recognized for being very online. It's about damn time. I mean, it's hard work being this opinionated. And correct. You're such a Leo. All time. Yeah.

So then we go to Heather's new house in Beverly Hills, because it's a Heather storyline and Heather's only storylines are houses.

It's been that way since her first season and it's not going to change. So she's with Terry and she's like, did you see that a house that just sold in Bel-Air with our same exact view for $188 million? Come on, it had a helipad. We need a house with a helipad. He's like, oh, it's like a car. And it's like a, and they had a car museum. She was all of the things we're going to get a car museum and a helipad. And we're just going to show it to Gina and make her cry while she looks for her new downsized two bedroom house.

Don't you know I'm royalty. So now we're at Gina's house with her kids making dinner. She's like, let's do the meatballs first. Listen, why do you have to be careful with the meat? Yeah. I still think Gina's faking an accent and she's like from Ohio somewhere. I just don't listen. I'm educated enough in, and I know she's not Jersey.

She's long Island, right? She's yeah. Long Island. I'm familiar enough with that accent. I was on the East Coast for like a decade. So I know the accent and I just feel like she's not speaking it right. I feel like she's just a liar. She's undercover. There's something fishy with Gina. You know what? I've said it before and I'll say it again. I don't buy it.

Nat, So now, yeah, she's teaching the kids how to make meatballs and telling them about salmonella and the, and the dangers of raw meat. So it's a typical genocene. And then, uh, we go over to Tamra in bed with Eddie. He has those big leg compression things that like go around your legs, you know, like those big, like, I don't even know what you call them. They're just things. I don't know what they are either, but I feel like Eddie is just a perfect example of somebody who's had too much protein powder and just works out too much. He's just one big overly, you know, like when people get too muscular and then their muscles turn lumpy, like lumpy

muscle, he's just like a lumpy muscle. He's like post muscle, you know? Like that phase in his life is over where he's gaining muscle. It's now just sort of turning Arnold Schwarzenegger-y, you know? You know when dogs get old, like Bueller's old, he's an old man now. I love you, Bueller. I love you. I'm not old shaming you.

But dogs get old and they get like lumps on them all over, like little, and they're like little deposits of things. That's, I feel like that's what Eddie Muscle is like. Is that too hard? Well, I miss Bueller. Oh, Buells. Either way, Tamara is straddling Eddie and she's like, oh look, it's a disposable cock-wag, bitch. He's like, why am I getting lucky tonight? I was expecting Sandy and her boyfriend to come in on skateboards like, hey kids, we just fucked downstairs. Yeah, we're wild and wacky seniors.

Hey, Tam Tam, did you find my disposable cock ring anywhere? I'm running over from the carousel. Mom, get out of here, bitch. So then we go to some, you know, just other scenes around town. So Jen, uh, Jen is walking into shreds, Jim, and she's meeting Tamara and Tamara's already working out. She goes, Oh my God, I'm glad we're here together. My armpits didn't smell. They don't, but thank you so much for that warning. How's everything been? Good. Just

busy as hell doing nothing, bitch. Like, oh yeah. Like what is Tamara busy with? Literally she does nothing except for being on the Traders. So she goes, yeah, we're splitting our time now between Big Bears and Orange County, bitch. And so apparently they have a house up there now. And that's like, I guess she's, I guess it's Tamara's version of being Heather Dubrow. Pete Slauson Yes. Yes. Heather Duesnil. So, Jen's like, Heather Dubrow Wow, that house is like amazing. Thank you

so much for showing me pictures of your house. I mean, what a beautiful house, Tamara. What a beautiful house. And she tells us, Tamara and I, I think we're moving past everything that's happened to us. You know, Tamara trying to ruin my relationship and my life and basically everything about me. Basically how Tamara just caught me on this show and then dragged me through the mud and tried to ruin me and then made me take a colonic on national television. Maybe we'll get past that, I don't know.

Thank you for asking though, producers. Thank you. Thank you so much. I see her for who she is, which is a total nother bitch. And so I'm just keeping it light and easy and exactly where I want to keep it with Tamara. So then Emily comes in, she's like, look, I can't even bend down.

Mean shame. We're just getting so sexy right now. Don't even ask. And she talks about like her journey over the past year. She's lost 40 pounds from Ozempic and liposuction and going to the gym cause she wants to keep it off. And that's her storyline is that she lost weight. Well, congratulations on saying Ozempic and admitting it because that's very rare on these shows. So congrats. I give you props for that. So then,

But by the way, she says that like one of the reasons why she's also going to the gym is because it's better than raging at Shane all over the house. I'm like, no, I think I actually would like to see you rage at Shane. I would, I'm, I'm, that's content I would be looking forward to. It's more entertaining for us. I mean, if raging is Shane burns calories, let's all fucking do it. I mean, there's finally someone will have a successful gym in the OC. Just go scream at Shane. You know?

Yeah. Works for me. So, now we go, we wind up at Shannon's new rental. And the girls are all there and they're sitting down with some chicken salad, etc. She's like, Carl, I have to tell you, this is a huge deal for me to have Diet Coke in this house, but I'm trying to be a cool mom now, because I guess, you know, you make one, get one DUI and suddenly your kids use it against you to advance their diet coke agenda. Apparently I had a little absolute and great goose in my system at the same time.

So my kids are allowed to have aspartame. I thought my biggest failure was driving drunkenly into a house, but apparently my biggest failure was raising children who enjoyed diet coke. So, learn a lot. Learn a lot, Mildred. Mildred, am I going to be a coke hero or a coke zero? That's up to you kids. So the kids are so old, it's totally weird. I don't like it. Please age backwards like everybody else on this show. And Shannon's like, well, you're on your own now if you want to die of pancreatic, you know, gingeritis from this diet, coke, enjoy that. Okay. So you're on your own. I can't stop you. Okay.

Stella, are you kidding me? And Stella is walking in with a thing of laundry and she's like, what? I leave tomorrow, so I have to do my laundry. She's like, I just did the laundry, Stella. So, that coke made you leak all over everything that I did. Yeah, but mom, you were drunk and you dumped all the laundry on a house. Well, I, sure, but it's just, I have a tendency to gravitate towards houses when I'm drinking and it's not my fault, it's just the way I was built. It's just that I was doing laundry and John Jensen called me a stupid drunk face and I started the laundry on fire. It's John's fault. Ultimately, it's John's fault. Well, America, I am an empty

nester. I have recently purchased all seven seasons on DVD and have been watching them as a marathon ever since this DUI. I have to say, uh, Harry is a, he's a hero and an icon, but besides that, my, my children have moved out. I'm no longer driving. Now I'm leaving my car in park overall. I have started calling Archie Dreyfus and, um, I'm turning over and I leave, I have been, I leave my door unlocked in the hope that Joe Suzu will come through one day and turn something out of my fridge. Well, I'm an empty nester. And so now I have moved to a rental in Corona Del Mar. It's three bedrooms and I can walk to the beach every day. I just stand there and watch blonde

sluts walk back and forth. Imagine them holding hands with David Boudoir. It's old habits die hard. David Boudoir Yeah, that's, I do like to sit at my window and just look at the waves and the people go by, go, slah, slah. And then I walk to the beach because again, I can't drive to the beach. I just walk. Pete Slauson I'm actually so sad for Shannon because she loved her boathouse. David Boudoir for Shannon because she loved her boathouse. Well, it wasn't her boathouse. That was John's boathouse.

No, no, that was John's little house by the water. Oh, you meant the one that the one that he had like a nautical farmhouse member. She had like a farmhouse, but it was like nautical theme. Yeah. Yes. Her nautical with the oven that was out of the way. Yeah. It wasn't a triangle of usefulness or whatever. You know, I- The Chip and Joanna, the Chip and Joanna boat. Yes, the triangle of usefulness. Yeah. Well, I like to call that my Bermuda Triangle. I don't know. So, well, no, I have downsides. I don't need the space anymore because I live alone.

My children have moved away. And as we all know, John Jansen has left me and I've been sitting here paralyzed replaying arguments in my head and I'm so I'm happy I'm living on my my my dream has come true old age alone with no one by my side except skanky women walking on the boardwalk I'm happy I'm in a great mood in my tiny tiny tiny little packing container home. So let's just go sit over here, girls. Now, let me update you, everybody. Sophie, oh god, I'm so happy. Sophie is a senior at Baylor University, which is so funny because Baylor, bailing, John bailed on me.

John's a Baylor. That went full circle quickly, didn't it? I'm happy for her. I'm so happy. Adeline is in New York City at the Parsons School of Design learning lots of things and being around the liberals. And Stella is a part of the USC transfers in Paris, far away from all of us. And we get together at the holidays and Sophie expresses her Texas feelings and Adeline expresses her

Parsons School of Design feelings and Stella tells me to shut up and we have a very happy time together as a family. You know it is like August Osage County in that at the holidays with that family now like as you know Sophie is totally going traditional kind of like conservative path down with Baylor with Rio. And at a lines in fashion school, you know, it is just nothing but back and forth and she had like, why can't we just talk about nice things? Why don't you say something nice about your sister? Why do we always have to fight?

And you know, it's going bad because Stella is one of those people who's like, guys, you should all go abroad. I've like totally done it. What an opportunity. One of the biggest failures that we as humans have had is that we did not support real girlfriends in Paris long enough because if it were still in the air, I'm sure Stella would have made her way onto that show. Oh, that would have been amazing way onto that show. Pete Oh, that would have been amazing. Isn't that such a useful thing?

I did that when I was young. When I moved to New York, I moved when I was 18 and I came home wearing a beret for my first Christmas. It's like, oh, and I had like an ear cuff, like a little man crawling up my ear. I was like, yeah, I have a beret and an ear cuff. So I'm pretty artistic now, guys. You should try that. Pete I act like Stella when I go to target. I'm like, guys,

you should be going to target. Just saying. Just got back. Oh my God. I was saying that's all. Sorry about what you're saying. I was singing that, that jingle all last night. It was in my head. I was like board game night. We were playing a game of being in outer space and I kept going, living spaces. Every time someone mentioned space and everyone was getting annoyed at me. I need spaces. I'm sorry.

I was singing to John Jensen. All alone spaces. I'm alone now. This isn't even a living room. It's a shoe behind. So please don't leave me here. I'm sorry. What were we talking about? I miss all the things in my life. I used to have spaces. So they're like, Oh my God, shut up, Stella. You've been out of town. Congratulations. Well, she's been to nine countries in her first semester, much like how her father was

in nine women in my first semester of pregnancy. So Shannon's like, Mom, why are you crying now? She's like, well, I mean, I, I, um, Shannon's like, oh, mom, why are you crying now? She's like, well, I mean, I took Sophie to college. I took Adeline to college and, and, and your dad took you. So it was my intent to come and visit you. But hold on to me. Let me lean my head back and touch the bottom of my eyes. Oh, it was my intent to come and visit you. But because of my mistakes, I wasn't able to come

and I feel bad. I need a drink. Jared Sienkiewicz Mom, put the bottle down. Dr. Justin Marchegiani I'm just, I'm so sorry. And I humiliated, and I disappointed you. And like, what kind of example am I? 59. Dr. Justin Marchegiani Mom, I just want to check, are you sorry for humiliating us about the DIY or what about like the years and years of stuff before that? No, no. What about that time you showed up at our dance recital and threw a crutch in our teacher's face?

There was a woman sitting in my seat and she had crutches and I wanted one of them gone. I couldn't fit. I am sorry that I confused your teacher for a carnival game and confused the crutch for a bean bag and confused your school for the Orange County Fair, but I had reached my two drink max for the day and things happened. So Stella's like, Mom, we're just glad that you're okay and that no one was hurt. Yeah. And they're like, yeah, and you take accountability. And Shanna's like, well, on the night of the DUI, I drove to John's house, well, stupidly,

and we got into a big argument and he said, you're a drunken idiot. Don't get in your car. But oh, God, I did. And I got in an accident five seconds later because I wrecked up the engine so he could know how mad I was. And I lost control of the car immediately. So it was because John made me mad that I wrapped up the car like that. And that's what happened.

So I take responsibility for John being a monster. Literally, if you really think about her story, that is the funniest DUI. She's like, I am not drunk and I'm not going to keep saying this. We all know DUIs are horrific. I think they are, they're awful. And I think that they're actually taken to like people consider them too lightly, but it's we're a podcast and at a certain point, like I ha I'm not going to do the disclaimer anymore. And if people get mad and say, Oh, you're taking DUIs too lightly. No, I think DUIs are terrible.

But what I think that was Shannon, Shannon's specific situation is kind of funny. And it is funny. And just to think of her getting it that far. We're just saying DUIs aren't funny. But if you wanted one to be funny, and you were casting for a comedy DUI, Shannon Bedore's agent is the one that you would call. Because I'm just imagining her talking and saying, and here's another thing, Jance if you ever just like her just zooming all out of frame right so Sophie's like uh she goes yeah well I've girls girls I've never broken a bone I've never had a concussion I've never been in an accident wait I've never broken a bone. I've never had a concussion. I've never been in an accident Wait, I've never had a diet coke

I've never had emotional debris suck up my butt that David Boudoir had to get out with this Because I think she's hasn't she been in a cast on this show? Is that in my head? I honestly don't remember. And then she's like, I've never had a concussion. I know we've seen her in some kind of a head, a head swing, but maybe that was from phase three. Maybe, did she ever have a boot? She's always, isn't she always like twisting her ankle and stuff like that? I mean, I remember that your Tamra had a thing that she had to roll around on her

knee, but then didn't Shannon also have to roll around on her knee too? And then Tamra was like, yeah, of course, Shannon has to roll around on her knee when I'm rolling around on my knee because Shannon wants to be me bitch. Um, but I think that Shannon has done all of these things that she's listing is my point, but I've never broken a bone. I've never had a concussion. I've never been in an accident. I've never had a diet coke in my home. I've never had emotional debris stuck up my butt that David Bedor had to get out with his thumb. She's done all this stuff.

Never had a loyal lover. Never had a good friend and never had a real relationship with Tamara Barney. And then it all changed in 10 seconds, girls, 10 seconds. And Sophie's like, well, it sucks, but this happened for a reason. Oh, God. Well, you know, here's the truth. God had a plan. I absolutely believe that God wanted me to be drunk and drive that car. That was God's plan. He said, you know what, Shannon, have a few and get in the car. God works in mysterious, delicious ways. Here's what God said, shaking not stirred. Still is like, yeah, and God's plan for me, I guess, was just to go to Paris and just become

a better person than all of you guys. Sorry. And on the seventh day, God said, let there be Michelob light. Let there be Schlitz. So Sophie goes, well, it seems like you're taking more initiative to figure out why things have happened in your life and like why you keep certain people in your life when they necessarily shouldn't be there. Yes. I call those people diet cokes.

So I don't know why they're there. And maybe they should be removed. Yeah, well, I'm really seeing who my true friends are now. Tamara, no. Emily, no. Gina, no. Bartles, yes. James, yes. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha So, let me go back to the gym and Tam was like, so wait a second. Jen, you saw Shannon?

And Jen's like, yeah, I saw Shannon. She came to the studio with the other day, sort of made a lot of noise. Everyone left and I didn't get my $50, which means that of course I was just late for rent by, you know, $3,000 instead of $3,050. But you know, it's, you know, that's life. So she's working out now? Well, she took a class. I mean, I wouldn't say she's working out, but she did take a class. Here's what she took a lot. She did a lot. She stood there and she really absorbed this a lot. Thank you, Shannon. Thank you for doing that down, Dawn. Thank you. Thank you, Shannon. Wow. And what's your buns? Emily's like, oh, she came to class.

Did she fall down a lot? Listen, I do not love this Shannon slander. I'm not gonna like this. I don't like this. I don't like Emily ganging up with the camera. Emily, your whole bit is that you fall down, like quote unquote by accident. Like remember, like that's what she always does.

Oh my God, I fell down. I'm goofy. It's like the Vicky school of, of falling down. I didn't have to fall down or anything. Well, she, Tamara, in the beginning of this episode or at the beginning of the scene, Emily said something like, she dropped something. She was like, I haven't worked out a long time. She dropped something and Shannon was like, Oh, what are you Shannon now? Like trying to be wacky by being klutzy. So I think that's what they're saying. She's like, Oh, so was she falling down a lot? And yeah, you're right. Emily, Ben, Emily is a Shannon. She's trying to be

like a physical comedy stealer. Yeah, whatever. Like the, it's like, it's like what Vicki does when she falls over and you're like, that was, that was fake. So Jen is like, you know what? I have a self-spot for Shannon. I'm sorry. I have a turkey sandwich in my purse. I'm going to eat wackily to get America on my side while you talk about Shannon. I have a self-spot for Shannon. I'm just an average woman. And we see Jen and Shannon, they're talking and Shannon's like, well, I've been going to a wellness program. I've's like, well, I've been, you know, I've been going to a wellness program.

I've been seeing a therapist. I've been seeing a psychiatrist. I've been seeing John Jansen with Alexis Bellino with the Quiet Women. That's really fun. Yeah, I'm doing great. I'm happy. When you feel like the rug is being pulled out

from under you. Oh, this is Jen. She's like, when you feel like the rug is being pulled out from under you and you're literally at rock bottom, you need a friend. You need a friend to be like, hi, I'm a rock bottom. Could you help me? Hey. Do you have $20? Do you have anything in your bank account? I don't. I'm just joining babies with my kids.

Can I borrow that rug? I told my landlord I would pay in rugs this month. Um, it's so mean. It's so mean. Commercials, here comes one right now. Nancy's love story could have been ripped right out of the pages of one of her own novels. She was a romance mystery writer who happens to be married to a chef. But this story didn't end with a happily ever after. When I stepped into the kitchen, I could see that Chef Brophy was on the ground, and I heard somebody say, call 911.

As writers, we'd written our share of murder mysteries. So when suspicion turned to Dan's wife, Nancy, we weren't that surprised. The first person they look at would be the spouse. We understand that's usually the way they do it. But we began to wonder, had Nancy gotten so wrapped up in her own novels... There are murders in all of the books. ...that she was playing them out in real life? Follow Happily Never After, Dan and Nancy on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts. You can binge

all episodes of Happily Never After Dan and Nancy early and ad free right now by joining Wondery Plus. So Jen is like, yeah, she said something about the Trace Amigos and that you're out. She goes, yeah, I am out. I am out. Yeah, she was surprised that you weren't doing it anymore. She says, yeah, well, you know what? It was right after her DUI. She was basically on tour telling people and the press that she wasn't drinking and now

she's drinking Diet Coke. Which by the way, wow. So I thought the Diet Coke came in from the daughters. Is it that Shannon's brought the Diet Coke into her lifestyle, into her world? I guess so. Yeah. Because yeah, so she's like, and then someone's in the green room and there's a bar and she's over there looking around and looking around and then pouring vodka in her drink, pouring it, pouring it in her drink.

I love this is a small moment, Jen goes, oh, vodka and diet coke. She's like, wow, that's so sad. That's sad. That's sad. So Tamara's like, yeah, Sean and I put together this live show and it was like a lot about drinking and stuff. And I felt like it was just like a bad taste to do a show right after Sean threw a match. Oh, since when does Tamara ever concerns about bad tastes? Tamara, Tamara, the connoisseur of taste. I know of discretion and letting people heal.

Yeah. Yeah. 100%. So she's like, stop taking me. Proud of the girl. What's going on? He's a bad bitch. Stop drinking. Tamara's like, she could have killed herself. She could have killed her fucking dog. And they just cuts to Archie sitting there like, someone talking about me. So then back to Shannon. She's like, Oh God, I just don't understand why I haven't heard

from some people. And Stella's like, well, it's surprising that they haven't reached out after John. And she's like, Oh God, and he's dating someone else they know and they haven't reached out. And I don't want John in my life anymore, oh god, and he's dating someone else they know and they haven't reached out and I don't want John in my life anymore but for him to be publicly displaying his relationship with Alexis Molino that slut! I mean, it's hurtful. It's hurtful! The last thing that I want in my life is John Chance. Oh! Wait, I think that's John Sun out there. Hi! Hi, John Sah-ha! Oh, you know what? It's just a palm tree. My bad. My bad.

So she says that 10 days after her DUI, John called her and said, I'm cutting ties with you. You've ruined my life and you've ruined my family's lives because of the publicness of who you are. Is publicness a word? A. And B, you were dating a TV reality star and now you're dating another one? You weren't even dating a reality star at that time. You literally were dating someone desperate to be back on TV so that you could both get back on TV. Shut the fuck up, you low-rent Al Gore. No one wants to hear it from you. Yeah. Publicness apparently is a word, believe it or not. So, yeah. I just do that one comment.

Yeah. Well, it's, it's out there in public and has a lot of publicness about publicness. Six weeks later, he started dating Alexis Bellino, the one that started the ball rolling on my lawsuit. And we see, I was like the lawsuit was like, oh yeah. Cause Jim Bellino files a $1 million lawsuit against former Orange County co-stars, Tamara and Shannon because of their, they did, because they went on to Heather McDonald's live show, right? And, uh, talked about Jim Bolino and his like chin implant or some, some,

no, they made fun of the trampoline park and said that, uh, they're dangerous or something that people die. Someone said like, don't people die at those or something? And they got sued for slander. By the way, we're not saying that people don't sue us. We're just saying what the lawsuit was about. Pete Slauson Yeah. But that was a frivolous lawsuit, I believe, by Jim Bellino. He was always a dick. Jared Slauson No. Look at me being quiet. I'm like,

I'm quiet about people who will sue me. But very easy to control in that way. So then Stella's like, yeah, he's an embarrassment to this family. And Stella, yeah, Stella continues. She's like, yeah, I'm like filled with rage thinking about him. I'm just thinking to myself, vu quo, po quo. That's not even meaning anything, Stella. I'm just thinking to myself, vu quoi, pourquoi? That's not even meaning anything, Stella. I'm working on it, mother.

I'm working on it. Stella, Stella, Stella, what are you doing? Oh yeah, I express my rage through miming now because I live in Paris. Oh, okay. Well, that's Stella. I'm getting so sick of hearing about Paris that I could drink you. No, mama, not us, Stella. Oh, okay. I should have thought about that before I named you, really. So now we'll go back to Jim and Jen's like, I have a question. Were Shannon and Alexis friends? And Emily's like, no, they do not have history other than Alexis's husband Jim sued them. Oh yes, I remember that now. No, actually, I don't remember that whatsoever.

Yeah. now. No, actually, I don't remember that whatsoever. I just said that because I, I, I'm not comfortable with quiet. So Tamra talks about, Tamra talks about the lawsuit, which goes, yeah, in 2018 Jim Bolino sued Shannon. I have a defamation and the case has been closed and I can't really talk about any kind of settlement, but we both lost a lot of money. Shannon lost $300,000 and I lost $500,000. Don't want to talk about it. So they're like, yeah, Alexis wasn't even married to him. She has nothing to do with it. And Tamara's like, yeah, and that's that. Tell me that she did not agree with what he did.

I said, that's all. But do you want to hear some comma? And said, that's all I'm gonna do, man. But do you want to hear some karma? Do you want to hear some karma? God, say to her, if you can't fucking clean your act up after crashing your car and almost killing somebody, man, I'm gonna give your boyfriend to the girl you hate the most. Jared Saino Wow, spoken like a true Christian. First of all, karma. And then, God revenge, revenge-bestowing Alexis on somebody. Pete is also, isn't this your friend? This is supposed to be your friend and you're reveling in this, in this situation. I don't. It's Tamara.

Yeah, this is like, I think really like, this is just like shitty friendship. Pete. Tamara's an awful, awful girl. You should be there to help your friend get through this. Pete. She's always been a vile person. Yeah. Pete. What was she mad at Shannon for by the end of the season? They were all coming for Shannon by the end of the season. Was it that Shannon was making things about herself or who knows what?

But like either way, all of last season was Tamara like, you know, becoming friends with Shannon again and yada, yada, yada. And now like Shannon hits a, like a set, like a house. I was going to say a setback, but a house, but like you're just being a shitty friend at this point. So, um, and just like laughing about that, of Shad and his karma. It's not like Shannon's a victim here, but as your, as her friend, like Tamara should be trying to help her get better, you know? Jared Saskar And then, you know, we also have to remember when it comes to alcohol, Tamara is the one who like purposely got someone wasted and tried to have her son like assault them sexually

on television. So, I don't know that we really need Tamara as a moral virtuous... She's not a moral compass. You're not the Julie of this cruise ship lady. Yeah. Okay? Have a backseat. Why don't you go, why don't you go like make some Christian quotes somewhere that make more sense? Fucking weirdo. Karma and God's vengeance of Alexis Bolino. Tamara's still a fucking monster and I'm so glad to have her on this show. She's so good. So then we go back to the Shannon's household and Stella's like, mom, if you ever

see John with his new girlfriend, quote unquote girlfriend, the most empowering thing will be if you just walk right by and go straight to the boulangerie, get yourself a croissant and then go to the cafe. Oh, I keep forgetting you don't live in Paris, mom. That's me. That's me who lives in Paris. Listen, I do not want to argue, so I'm just going to let things go. And I'm not going to be that person anymore. And if someone upsets me, if someone does something cruel to me, OK, Stella, I don't need you to serenade me while I do my monologue. I'm going to tell them what I've done, what they've done.

I'm no victim anymore. So, let it be known, I have no fear. Although I am a little concerned about the toxicity levels in this household, I don't know, I'm thinking that we maybe all should go to see Dr. Moon soon. Okay. I'm not going gonna sit here in a corner and avoid Alexis Bellino. I'm gonna walk right up to her and say, hmm, huh, huh, well, okay then. I can about walk up to her and say, excuse me. I am gonna walk right up to Alexis Bellino and say,

how do you do? And then I shall go find some crudites. I can't wait to tell her, enjoy my floppy seconds. And the girls are like, yes, mother period T period T check that is right girls period. Is that French? So now we go to Heather's new house in Bel Air. It's with Terry. And they're settling in. And Heather's like, so this is what we need to go over, Terry. Zack is coming over to talk about budgets and timelines for the house. Ohad is coming over from Circa to talk about the guest house. 45 poor people are entering through a back door to clean the downstairs and the upstairs,

and we shall never acknowledge their presence. Do you understand, Terry? By the way, it cracks me up that there's a sign that says, do not open on the refrigerator. Some people think it's because there's fragile things in the house, but it's really so the kids don't ever get fat. Isn't that hilarious?

So she says, I'm always looking for a new project. After we sold our Crystal Cove house, we bought this house in Beverly Hills, and I tried to get onto a different franchise. Didn't really work out. So now we're stuck with another mansion. Oh, well, they wanted in low forties and we got it for $16 million. Yeah, it's on 8.3 acres. Wow. And she's like, I mean, we have the penthouse, but that's only two bedrooms. We need a family home. Enter Beverly Hills. As in I would like to enter the Beverly Hills, real house was the Beverly Hills. Yeah. And so she goes, she's- But hey, you never know, stranger things have

happened. Do you think they would let Dubrow on? I feel like they wouldn't. No, I think the best, I think it's, it's, it's actually hilarious that she has literally moved to Beverly Hills and she's still stuck on Orange County. I know, but they're showing Sutton on this show. So do you think that that's a, a hint? Well, Sutton's an upgraded good. So in board gaming, sometimes like you have things like, um, you have resources that you can play with. So like you might have, you might have some or, but I have jewelry. And if, if you need to pay something with or I can pay with it with jewelry because jewelry is just a better or, but if somebody needs to be paid with jewelry,

you can't pay with it with the war because or is not good enough. So sudden is the jewelry Heather is, you know, this analogy has really gotten away from me. I don't think it makes sense. A lot of people, the point is this, Sutton's allowed to go downstream, Heather's not allowed to go upstream. That's funny. It's allowed. But I got, I mean, I see what you're saying. Like Sutton's allowed to slum it, but like

rich people are allowed to go visit poor neighborhoods, but poor people aren't just allowed to like go out for lunch at the Four Seasons. No, no. Even though Heather is actually very, very wealthy. So she looks, she's like considered poor because she's not from, she's not from. Right. She's tainted. Yeah. She smells like bowling alley, as we used to say. And I used to work in a bowling alley, but we used to be like, you can't date that girl. You smell like bowling alley, meaning like she's above you. You know, we work in the bowling alley, but you can't date above you.

Southern's like, I'm sorry. Do I smell San Clemente in here? Smells like Tustin. I was going to say it smells like the Tustin auto show in here. Anybody smell that? It's where Arlie comes from. That's why I know. If you close your eyes, you can almost smell Space Mountain. It's like Anaheim. So, so Heather's, they got this new house and Heather's like, we're going to take this new house down to the studs. And now Heather gives us a whole tour and she starts, but this house was built in the forties. So, you know, Carrie Grant's been in here. Lana Turner lived here, all these different people.

You know, I walk around and I think, gosh, if these walls could talk, like these walls, you're about to tear it down. She's like, look at all the history that was in this house. Okay, destroy it all. Tear it down. Tear it down. Tear it down! Cary Grant's been here. I mean, that's such a California thing to say, isn't it?

This house. Cary Grant's been here. Perry Mason walked by one time. Gloria Stefan flew over it. And now me, someone who had a best spot on Malibu Country, is added to the long list of celebrities. If these walls could talk, they'd say, line. If these walls could talk, they'd say, are you in Sag Aftra? So they both, you know, do their normal Terry

and Heather thing like, Hey, are we going to be able to fit all our cars in this house? I don't know, Terry. I just don't know. That was absolutely hilarious, Terry. By the way, we have to also talk about like, okay, I don't understand the point of having a mansion in Bel Air, but a penthouse in Century City. Because the people who don't live in Los Angeles don't know is those are like very close to each other. Like it's one thing if you have like a penthouse in San Francisco at a mansion in Bel Air, but the side by side things, unless they're doing a flip, it does not make sense.

I think they're doing a flip because they made so much money from that house last year. I mean, that was like inspiring to watch. Really. Like I love real estate. I'm dying. I love real estate shows. I'm sorry, I was complimenting Heather Dubrow. So like my body was rejecting it, but I love real estate shows. And that was pretty incredible watching them build that mall house from the start from the ground up and then making $9,000,000,000 off of it. So I'm sure they're just going to do it again, you know, but it's also Heather doesn't know what to do on this show. That's her only storyline is having a house.

That's all she knows how to do. So she's going to stay on TV. She's got to have a house, you know, that she's remodeling. Yeah, I guess so. Well, either way, I just think it's, I'm like, but yeah, yeah, if she says it's a flip, then I will, I will let it slide. But I was just like, that's seems very, very strange, but if Heather, so anyway, so they're walking through and everything and they're, and they're, you know, I think the contractor is going through and Ohad's like, yeah, we're going to have a party when this is all done. And Terry goes, or a stroke.

That's not funny, Terry. So then I'm, I'm bored. I can't tell me, I keep getting lost in the notes cause I read Terry and Heather notes and I'm just like, I'm tired. Oh, But one thing that is funny though is that she said that basically none of this furniture is theirs. They just got stage furniture to put in there. And then Shelby, our note taker says, they cut to a gong, which I guess is stage furniture, which is kind of funny that she's like, get me the gong, put the gong in here. You know what? I'd like to have an island,

maybe some stools where people could sit around and gather and a gong in here. Matthew 15 You know what? I'd like to have an island, maybe some stools where people could sit around and gather and a gong. Can we get a gong? Pete Slauson Just in case Cary Grant's ghost comes back, I just want to gong him out of here. It's my house now. Matthew 15 Just in case Richard Marx's stupid wife tries singing the song he wrote me again.

Pete Slauson I call it the Daisy, not the gong. So then they start talking about the girls and Heather's like, I mean, I'm in a better place with the girls. And by that, I mean, no one has threatened to murder me for a little while. So that's been fun, but I'm going to have a party and spend obscene amounts of money trying to win them back because that always works. Yeah, exactly. And Terry's like, well, I just, I don't want to see you go through what you went through last year because, because that was, that was too much. Well, hopefully, everyone will be nice. And I'm going to have lots of activities. That'll be fun. And I'll give Gina lots of gifts and watch her be a total bitch to me for the rest

of the season, despite all the things I give to her. Pete Slauson I know she wants things to be different this time. So she's going to do the exact same thing she always does. She's going to have a big extravagant party to remind everybody that she's worth more than all of them combined. And then just sit there with a stick up her ass and not her head and shake her head. Like she's starting the season the same way she does every single time. I love it. So now we go to Emily's house. Um, and you know, shows up and she's like, Oh, I was trying to make you a salad. Wow. And you're still trying to cook. That's so weird. There's like no sink in here.

And it turns out that Emily has been renovating her house and now she's doing a kitchen reno. So everyone get excited for that arc in about, I don't know. Uh, 16 weeks we get to see what Emily's kitchen looks like. Uh, spoiler alert, it's gonna look like every other kitchen we've seen on this show. I was gonna say, I hope, I hope it looks like Tuscany. I know. Uh, as long as it doesn't have Tamra's very strange, like built in booth, uh, I'll be happy. I'm predicting faux painted walls and some, you know, splotchy granite countertops and some big ornate wood

Tuscan cabinets and possibly a Caliente sign or one of those ceramic chefs. Yeah. As you put cookies in. You know, I'm happy that we're doing the renovation because this kitchen was stuck in the nineties, kind of like Shane's wardrobe. And I was like, no, that's fair. That's fair. I get it. Shane's wardrobe. And I was like, no, that's fair. That's fair. I got it. That's fair. So they're talking about Gina's house and Gina's like, oh, you know what?

I'm listing the La Quinta home for Elizabeth. And then we see photos, ex real housewives of Orange County, Elizabeth Lynn Vargas lists renovated La Quinta estate for $9 million. Hey kids, you gotta see this house. It's unbelievable, astronomical, wonderful deal. Unbelievable, unremarkable, unbelievable. It's a house. Come see this house. It's an open house.

It's a beautiful house. It's a place for families. It's a place for singles. Everyone lives here in the house. It's an open house. It's a beautiful house. It's a place for our families. It's a place for our singles. Everyone lives here in the house. It's a house for a joy and a house for oy. Come to the open house." Speaking of Elizabeth, Elizabeth's brother, do you remember Andrew? He bumped into Shannon on New Year's Eve in the market and she had like a full shopping cart of booze. It's New Year's Eve. She wasn't like in the parking lot in a dumpster drinking it. Jesus Christ. Pete You know what? Gina has a shopping cart full of booze. Okay, shut up.

Pete Yeah, they're all Ronnie branded. Pete She says, that doesn't scream I'm on a new track. I'm like, okay, no, but to be fair, she does have a new track of hair in her head. So, she goes, I just… Pete She could use a new track. That's true. She needs a few new tracks. Okay. We'll give you that. Do you know? I just know that I was tortured by this woman over something that I took full responsibility for years ago. I'm like, show all the clips of Shannon, bring it up again. And it's like, yes, is it tacky for Shannon to keep breaking up? Perhaps. But also like, she's kind of like, I did this, I did you a major favor and then you pay me with dust and she's and Shannon was upset about it. They do show some clips of Shannon being like, there is no excuse to get a DUI in this day and age and stuff like that. But I would, you know, I would like to remind Gina the most of the shame wasn't for the

DUI. It was for the not being grateful to somebody for helping you. It was like for fucking over somebody who helped you, which you still did. And you did it constantly. And every time you did it, she brought it up again. So if you don't want people bringing it up again, the stop fucking people over that have helped you, you fucking ingrate. You know, I have no relationship with Shannon and I don't believe in kicking someone when they're down. Oh, right. Welcome to Watch Where Crap Ends and listen to the recaps talking about you. Like, look at her small house.

But seeing the news coming in the morning of Shannon's DUI, I mean, this isn't having Robin Amida's code, but an eye for an eye, you know? Pete Slauson What was she talking about? Pete Slauson I don't really listen to her. Pete Slauson Hammurabi's code, is that a Bible? Pete Slauson Is that the eye for the eye? Pete Slauson Why, for an eye is biblical, right? Pete Slauson Maybe that's what Hammurabi is. I just always,

as she's saying like an eye, I feel like this is not the proper use of it. Pete Slauson The Code of Hammurabi is. I just always, as she's saying, I feel like this is not the proper use of it. The Code of Hammurabi is one of the oldest deciphered writings of length in the world, written in 1754 BCE and features a code of law from ancient Babylon in Mesopotamia. The code consisted of 282 laws with punishments that varied based on social status. What the fuck is she talking about? Where'd she hear about this? Oh, it's because I bought Hammurabi's code and it's now in my house in Bel-Air next to the gong.

So I don't think that even coming in with like Mesopotamian lore, like I love it. But like also, is this an eye for not, isn't it? Like you took something from me. I take something from you. So Shannon, like you have a DIY. I don't think it's that, I don't think it works that way. Also, by the way, how did you miss the, the chance to say DIY for a DIY, right? Oh, go for the joke, Gina. Come on. Yeah. Hey everyone. This is the end of part one of this recap for part two keep an eye on your podcast feed It is coming up in just a moment. Thanks so much for listening.

Before you go, tell us about yourself by filling out a short survey at Wondery.com slash survey. It was the biggest scandal in pop music. The stars of Milli Vanilli, the Grammy-winning,

multi-platinum R&B phenomenon, were exposed as frauds. But none of this was their idea. So whose idea was it? Enter German music producer Frank Farian. He saw the success of acts like Michael Jackson and Prince, and he wanted in no matter the cost. So he devised the perfect pop heist. Two once-in-a-lifetime talents who were charismatic, full of sex appeal, and phenomenal dancers.

The only problem? They couldn't sing. But Frank knew just how to fix that. Wondery's new podcast, Blame It on the Fame, dives into one of pop music's greatest controversies and takes a never-before-heard look at the exploitation of two young black artists. Milli Vanilli set the world on fire, but when the truth came out,

Rob and Fab were the only ones who got burned. Looking back now, it's hard not to wonder, why did everyone blame them and not the man pulling the strings?
