I'm Ronnie and today Ben is in Norway, Norway-ing it up.

So I picked the most gorgeous, talented, voice activated friend I could find. Amy Phillips from the Drama Darling podcast. Amy, hello. Hello, thank you so much for letting me be here today. I am not an AI. I am a regular person, not AI. I am happy to be here filling in for Ben. You cannot even joke about that anymore,

because it is happening now. People are very upset about AI taking over the world. It's already taken over. What are you going to do? People are sending me those like real housewives, kids, babies doing reenacting the scenes and I can't, I'm like, I can't do it. I don't know. I can't, it's scaring me. It's terrifying me, but then I'm like, Oh, is it funny? I don't know. I can't, it's scaring me. It's terrifying me, but then I'm like, oh, is it funny? I don't know. Yeah, people are like, don't you worry that you're just gonna become irrelevant.

I was like, you missed that train. Oh yeah, for sure. And then like every other day it's sag is like, we're trying, we're trying. We're storming the Capitol for sag. We can't control the robots. I know everyone thought it was gonna be like Terminator where the robots were going to kill us. No, they're just going to take all your jobs. Yeah, that's it. That's that is it. It's worse. It's worse. We'd all rather just die than work.

Wait, would we? I don't know. We get to live, but we don't have to wait a minute. Hold on a second. This is amazing. I love it. Yeah, those AI babies, I was watching those yesterday, someone posted one in the Atlanta Reddit, and I was cracking up. I thought it was so funny, it was so cute, and then I read the comments and they were like, F everybody who likes this, you goddamn monster.

And I was like, okay, well, I'm a horrible human being, but I thought it was funny. Is this gonna really separate people? It already has, yeah, it's really bad. Well, anyway, we're real. Hi, yes, we're real. Thank you so much for having me. Hi, Ben. As far as we know.

Yeah, well, welcome back, Amy. It's so good to talk to you always. So you've been doing drama, darling, for a while. Two years. You've been raising your daughter. Two years, yeah. How's it been going? Are you loving it? I love it. I love working from home.

It's amazing. And I'm up here in Santa Clarita. If you're watching The Valley, which I know you are, we refer to Danny as Danny Clarita because he's up here in Santa Clarita, my neighborhood. I'd like to say I put Santa Clarita on the map before anyone even knew it was there and they still are like, where is it?

So I'm really happy that the Valley is starting to embrace my neighborhood and thrilled that they moved up here. Santa Clarita. Yeah. I'm going to Santa Clarita. I'll give you another baby if you go to Santa Clarita. That's so good. That's so good, that's so good.

Me, I can't quite get her voice out, but she's kind of like, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling. Is she not so macy? Yeah, it might be like that. I lived in my car, I lived in one of us. She's kind of got the Rachel Raquel. Oh yeah, it does have that vibe, you're right.

Yeah, so Santa Clarita, tell me about it. Is it, because I feel like, do you feel like Danny kind of tarnished Santa Clarita? You know what? I feel like Nia did because she was like, I don't want to have anything to do with that trash pit, you know? And I was like, listen, give it a try. She's right. It's, you know, it's a lot of open space.

It's the suburbs, you know, but you say you really have the best of both worlds. You have, it's great for kids. The public school system is amazing. The restaurants suck, but that's why I'm always at Chili's, which I like to say, I mean, Chili's is really the only place that we go. Like that's pretty much it. If you wanna get good food, you have to go into LA,

and that's great. But I do love it up here, and I've made a lot of good like mam friends, you know? Yeah, Santa Clarita Mams. Yeah, the Santa Clarita Bonitas, you know? Is it the Santa Clarita Bonitas? I don't know if they know that I call them that, but I do. I'm from El Paso, Texas.

So everything there is kind of like Spanish based as well. So yeah, I like that. Santa Clarita Bonitas. And that's how you pronounce it too that. Santa Clarita Bonitas. And that's how you pronounce it too. The Santa Clarita's Bonitas. I think it sounds so fancy. I mean, it's a Saint.

Thank you. It's a pretty Saint. Although most Saints are poor, you know, I guess is the thing. This one, this one. No offense. Like Santa Anna, you know, the Santa Anna wins, the Santa Anita's a shitty racetrack.

Like the Saints can't really win. No, they can't. The Santa Cruz. Those are just the Santa Ana or wins a Santa Anita is a shitty race track. Like the states can't really win. No, they can't. The Santa Cruz. Those are just the A's. Right. Santa Claus. Santa Claus. He got better.

He actually came back to Love Island today, which was good. He was brought back. Love Hotel. Dude, I call it Love Island like no one's business. I can't, I can't not call it that. Thank God someone else is doing it to me because I'm sick of being corrected. It's making me crazy. And then Love Island is coming back and recovering that. So of course I'm calling that Love Hotel. You know, you trade one out,

you put one in. Which I kind of wish it was because I could use six hours of Love Hotel a week. Oh my God. Don't you think that Luanne should host it next time? Yes. Or Giselle. I saw someone online suggesting Giselle because Giselle really doesn't want to be there anyway. Yeah. She doesn't.

And you're right, Luanne is, she would host it, but then she would just hook up with all of the men anyway. She would fuck everybody. Yeah. 100%. I used to cover The Bachelor, and the running joke was that Chris Harrison was banging everybody in the porta potties because like, why else is he there? You know, he's always disheveled and kind of greasy.

His hair is always kind of a mess. He's worse than Jeff Probst. I mean, Jeff Probst is like, you know, pretty put together. Jeff Probst does like pushups before it takes, you know, and Chris Harrison, yeah, and Chris Harrison's like, I'm tired. You know, he's like a little golf thing in a porta potty and that's it. Yeah, especially on that bachelor one, the bachelor on the island or whatever it is, the bachelor on the beach, the bachelor beach, the beach, the beach bachelors, paradise and bachelor.

They're going to throw in golden bachelors and bachelorettes with these beach bachelorettes and bachelors. Did you know that? Are they really? Well, put Ashley in there. Ashley's a proven test case. God, you give Ashley a decent meal and she's like, I'll take the expired milk duds in the freezer for $5. You're right. Here's an all expense paid shopping trip to Bloomingdale's, Ashley. Ooh, a thrift shop. Totally, yeah. I love them all.

We know Ashley. I love when they put up the pictures of Ralph and Michael Darby to compare them. Oh, man. And you've got one with the watery eyes, the old dog that's about to be put down eyes, Michael Darby. Yeah. I mean, full golem, you know? Full golem. Then you've got exhausted Ralph.

Yeah, I don't know how I got here. How did I get this beautiful woman in my big arms? I've never done this before. Starting to get that slightly confused look at his eye. Yeah. Bless his heart. Okay, let's do this. Love Hotel, season one, episode five.

Guess who's back? That's the episode title. Is it really? Guess who's back, yeah. Clever. They've been getting pretty creative with their episode titles, but this one. This one was just on the nose.

Yeah, I know. I'm like, who? Right. I couldn't think of one person. Not even him. Who's the star? Who's going to be the star of the season? Wow, they're going to bring him back.

I can't believe he was cut so soon. If it wasn't ahead of Broccoli, I was going to be upset. Broccoli? For Earl? I was going to say upset. Ah, broccoli. For Earl. I was going to say, yeah, totally, because that's the only person I was like, oh, did they make him leave and then bring him back?

Because I couldn't think of anybody else, you know? Yeah, it's Earl. Earl the Pearl, what do you mean you don't eat vegetables? It's going to, I'm going to go to my grave thinking about that. I know. The last thing I'm going to see before I die, what do you mean you don't eat vegetables? And look, she did come in hot. I'll give it to him.

She did. She's like, I was just joking. I was joking. It's like, no, you were, you were genuinely angry. I was. That's okay. What, what, what, what, what, I can't joke. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I Shannon is a rave. Yes, exactly. Bless Shannon's heart. So, okay, so we start with this scene with Shannon and Earl, where Shannon sits on the

couch last week and she's like, Earl, I have wanted to give you this envelope with something in it. And then he starts sobbing and she tells us this is Earl's Goodbye note or parting gift or she says something like that. Yeah, and so all week the internet the world Macron has been wondering what was in that letter I just saw a clip today of Macron getting off the the president of France my clone Okay, getting off the plane in France and his wife was hitting him.

Did you see it? What, really? Yeah, she smacks him. They open the plane door and the wife is like slapping, like pushing his face. And then he turns to the camera, he's like, hello. And then they kind of reset. You see all the plane steward ladies like,

whoa, okay, back up there. Back up old lady Macron. Okay, let's try this again. And McCrone comes off the plane first lady she's like, I was joking. But rumor is she hit him because he guessed what was in that letter. So what do you think? I don't blame her. Did she have like, like a pair of gloves where she was like, whoop, whoop, or was it with her hand? I feel like there should be gloves. What did I think was in that letter?

France, it was with a cheese, it was with a big slice of cheese. Of course. I was like a star, like, you know, do you give someone, you know, one of those stars in the sky? Was it like a penguin? Was it a Sheena thing?

Remember when Sheena got someone, was it a penguin? It was, she got Adam, was it a penguin? She got Adam, she adopted a penguin for Adam. So I thought like, it's a penguin or a star. And then I definitely- We want a baby, a baby penguin. I can't believe Adam left me

after I adopted a penguin with him. They're furry when they're that young. I don't know, That's what I thought. I couldn't wrap my head around it. I'm like, what could it possibly be? I thought it was going to be a food pyramid, but it was not. It actually surprised me. It actually surprised me what it was.

Shocked, because I completely forgot about that story. Yeah. She was like, well, you know, you talked about your stepchild never speaking to you again, and you've kept his motorcycle in your living room. 30 years or whatever. And he changed his name and grew a mustache and got a different haircut. But I found him. I called my lawyer and I found it. Way to get rid of those rumors that you were sickening private investigators on people, Shannon.

Oh my God. That's so funny. I'll tell you what, I was like thinking, yeah, if you want something done, like these guys have no idea. If you want to learn how to stalk, find something, you put a housewife on it. You're going to get receipts, timelines, screenshots, a child from your past. You will find them. And the fact that she just made one call and was like, you know, Shannon with her, she is so, you know, she can be really charismatic, but I love the softer side of Shannon when she gets really quiet and she's like, I just called my attorney and I said, you have to find this, this is a boy. He says he has a special boy.

You have to find him. I just said. Three days later, he did. I got a call. Also, he told me that this boy pushed Kelly Dodd's mother down the stairs. This boy. And.

So she found the son in Santa Clarita. Yes. He's doing, he's doing zombie voiceovers in Santa Clarita. He's chugging tequila behind a pantry door. Yeah. And this was really actually kind of a sweet scene because Ralph starts sobbing. He's like, oh my God, I can't believe you did this.

Ralph, you could have done this. You know what I mean? Here's what I was thinking. You fucking deadbeat stepdad. All you had to do was look him up. And second of all, was the son happy? Because you know that the son changed his address in his phone number the second he was like. This aired and he was like,

what the hell we have to move again. He did, he did. It is very concerning to me because this was all and then she's like, and everybody knows. Yeah. Like, oh my God. Because he's thinking now I really have to step up to the plate.

I could have before, I didn't. I mean, I don't think it would have been that difficult. Do you? You know, I mean, maybe he was respecting his privacy. I mean, I don't know. If a kid tells you, I never wanna speak to you again, and then they leave, and then they don't tell you their information,

are you allowed to? I mean, I don't know, is that assault? Well, respecting the, right, respecting the mother's privacy. If she took don't know, is that assault? Well, respecting the, right, respecting the mother's privacy. If she took, you know, because he had no rights, so he clearly was like, okay, I guess I'll just step aside. Yeah, because at first I thought, this is so sweet. Oh my gosh, Shannon.

And then I thought, well, maybe he didn't want that on purpose. And you just, I mean, I've watched a lot of Lifetime movies, but I could just imagine this guy like, we're packing up the car. Get everybody in. He gets an alert. Earl just standing out there in the bushes like, you're never getting your motorcycle back.

Little shit. I know he's been riding it. He loves it. I did such a deep dive on Earl the Pearl's Instagram. Did you? Tell me what you found? Well, I was okay. So positives for Shannon, a lot of celebrations of St. Patrick's Day. So a lot of Irish, you know, top of the morning, you know, so a lot of that. I love Earl. He smells like whiskey. It smells like home.

He has a boat. It's like called the Irish Pearl, I think. So boat, obviously boat. Obviously. Irish love it. Irish, drinking, dogs. So those are the three positive things. Now, my friend, Emily, who co-hosts with me, Dramadharley. Those are big positives, by the way. They are big positives. Okay, so Emily co-host of Dramadharley.

She says, I was like, I don't know, what do you think? She goes, they are definitely not a match. They would go day drinking like Friday through Sunday and fight, you know, Monday through Thursday. I'm sorry, Emily, do we look for different things in people? Like that sounds, uh, that sounds like a marriage Emily. Yeah.

What the hell? It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crap. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappin's commercial. Every successful business starts with an idea. And on the best idea yet, we're obsessed with those light bulb moments. Like how a bored barista invented the Frappuccino during his downtime, and then it got acquired by Starbucks.

Or how Patagonia's iconic fleece was inspired by a toilet seat cover. On The Best Idea Yet, we dive into the untold origin stories behind the products you're obsessed with, and the bold risk-takers made them go viral. These are the wild ideas and insights that made Birkenstock the best-selling sandals since Jesus. And made Super Mario the most played video game in the history of attention span. Nintendo almost became a ramen company until Super Mario saved it.

-♪ Hahahaha! -♪ -♪ Hahahaha! -♪ At 24, I lost my narrative, or rather it was stolen from me. And the Monica Lewinsky that my friends and family knew was usurped by false narratives, callous jokes, and politics. I would define reclaiming as to take back what was yours. Something you possess is lost or stolen, and ultimately you triumph in finding it again. So I think listeners can expect me to be chatting with folks, both recognizable and unrecognizable names,

about the way that people have navigated roads to triumph. My hope is that people will finish an episode of Reclaiming and feel like they filled their tank up. They connected with the people that I'm talking to and leave with maybe some nuggets that help them feel a little more hopeful.

Also, he dressed up for like a murder mystery dinner. So I feel like he, as an actor, which was an interesting twist. So I don't know if it was like a one-time thing or if he does that occasionally. But yeah. Well, we're both improvisers. We're no stranger to the murder mystery parties. It's embarrassing. Okay. It's embarrassing, we know it is. Nobody wants to marry us when we're done. I did one where I had to play an evil queen. And I was like the Snow White evil queen. I mean, kind of, but those pictures are forever.

No, but we'll just send him to Earl. He'll gladly put him up. Wanna come on my boat? Let's go find my stepson. I'm really into Shannon and Earl, but I guess they're not into each other. I don't think they've lasted. Earl had kind of a postseason glow up. I've seen him on his Insta. And I think he dropped a little, you know, he was looking pretty hot, but I don't think he's with Shannon. All the guys got real thirsty on their own Instas after shooting the show. Have you been looking at the Instas?

Only Earl, a lot of selfies. So yeah, I hear you there. I don't know. I haven't seen anybody else. I haven't just talked down to anyone else. I'm waiting for Shannon's attorney to send it to me. I haven't either. I just read Reddit.

But I'll see stuff occasionally. That's funny. The only one I really want to know anything about is, love hotel. Hey, Lou Ann. Yes, Jigl. I'm going to stick it in you. She's like, all right, get out of here. The fact that their voices are on completely separate, he is so high and she is so low, they really do blend very well. I hope that he makes a cameo on her cabaret tour. Oh, he will. You think so? He will.

Wow, that was really confident. I think so. You were really confident. I think so, yeah. Well, you know how at first she was like, oh, Luanne and guests, it was like the Countess and friends. Yeah. So the first time we went,

we both went to that show, remember? Yep. I got wasted and got kicked out. They had, well, the end. I don't remember that. I don't remember that because I'm a- Well, we went to Ben's house before for like a cocktail party. I was like, Amy, it's so good to see.

And I like slammed three drinks back. And by the time we got to the show, I was inebriated. Okay. Which was fitting for a counter show. Absolutely. I was like flinging around my napkin, screaming. And then at the end, it was the time for the VIP line. And they were like, can I talk to you outside, sir?

I was like, why does the security guard want to talk to me outside? Loan! Loan hotels! I'm being dragged out of there. I remember that. Damn, I would have come with you. I'm sorry, my friend. I should have been there for you.

I don't blame you. You were probably out of there like the first 10 minutes into my, I was not fun. Anyway, the point is she had all these special guests and at first they were like, you know, it's Elphaba from the Broadway production of, yeah, it was like, you know, Angels of, Angels of America from the 1992 production on Broadway. Murray Abraham playing Roy Cohn in Angels in America. Right. Yes, a lot of Broadway stars. Yes.

And then by the end it was like, you know, this guy. Oh. It was who? Bongo's. Just Bongo's. She's gotten pretty good at those bongos. Oh, dang. Real good.

Yeah. She doesn't do it anymore with the friends. She's just, I even, I straight up asked her, because I interviewed her right when she came back from Loeb Hotel and I was like, yeah, are you going to have any other friends? She's like, I don't do that anymore, darling. I just do myself. No more friends. Oh my God, you sound just like her.

Well, you have to evolve. That is so good. I do it like this because I've been trying to get her lower voice, but you gotta do it like this, darling. I can't do it like that. Like you're kind of like opening up the crypt, you know, just like I'm coming out tonight. Just like her. that is so funny. But yeah, she's doing it on her own.

She just wants, she doesn't need people. She doesn't need them. Yeah, so that's what I mean. Like she started with these huge like Broadway stars and then she's like, by this time, it's like this guy from Love Hotel. Yes. Yes.

Well, we went from Diane Weist to this person. Diane Weist, yes person. Diane Weist. Yes. Yes, Weist. Wait, yeah, go ahead. Oh, no, no. That reminds you of what? We don't have to actually talk about this show.

No, I love this show. This show is amazing. So, yes, we should definitely talk about it. This show is amazing. Okay. So she's like, well, my heart's been breaking for Earl because he's never known the joy of having a child. So I ignored the human trafficking warnings in the airport and I human trafficked his

son back to him. Oh, man. Oh, God. There's trafficking signs on the airport. They are so intense. And I was in the- They're so- Can I be?

My daughter was like, what is trafficking? I was like, there's just like a lot of people in the bathrooms. So you have to really watch out. And she's like, but it says human trafficking. I'm like, oh my God, I can't have this conversation with like a seven-year-old. But I was like, it's basically stranger danger.

But it's just, you know, I mean, I didn't want to have that conversation like in the middle of like the or the Orlando Nightmare Airport. Well, yeah, especially when you're with a kid and you're like, what are you supposed to say? Well, you're supposed to be aware of strangers in airport bathrooms, but they're all strangers. I don't know everybody in the airport bathroom. It's like your kid's going to be terrified to pee.

That's the thing. Yeah. Anyway, so yeah, God, stop warning about human trafficking. Am I right? Please. And he's ruining my vacation. Can you just warn me about something real, like carbs? Watch out for carbs, they're everywhere. So-

It's vegetables. She gives him this letter, he starts crying, and he's like, I can't remember the time somebody gave me a gift this meaningful besides the motorcycle. I'm shaking. I'm literally shaking right now. I'm shaking. I'm literally shaking.

This line, this could only be a Shannon line. Well, after the fiesta date, I got some basic information from Earl and I called my attorney and said, we need to find this boy. And three days later, my attorney found him. Thank you, milk. So they found the kid. So he cries and she's like, well, you know, the producers wanted me to do it in front of

everybody. Everybody knows Earl, everybody knows the good deed that I did. After my, this was like wearing a push-up bra for my reputation, Earl. You're welcome. Earl was like, I, um, thank you. So you're saying everybody knows, like we can't cut this part out? So are you saying, yeah, there's a party downstairs. Everyone's waiting for you. Everyone knows Earl. Everyone knows. So after the fiesta party, I sat everybody down, everybody, the cast, the crew, the lighting

people. And I said, Earl has a son that hates him and won't speak to him. And he's stolen the son's motorcycle. We need to find the son. Find the son! They're all waiting down there to see sad, sad Earl. Sad lonely Earl. So put your best sad face on it. Let's go. Also, I don't think it's working out for us because I just really feel like the vegetable thing is getting in the way. I love that she will never dump Earl. It's so hilarious to me. Every week she's like,

I'm dumping Earl, that's it. I'm better than this. I found a new man named Adam. He wears scarves and degrees. Yes, I love that. I will now be with Adam. And then five minutes later, she's like, Oh God, Adam, I'd have to wear makeup. And Earl, I could just take off my Spanx. And I mean, who cares? I don't even have to have eyelashes. Who needs them?

I can be eyeless. I could not have a tongue. Who would care? One elbow, one elbow. Earl would love me. Earl would still stick it. Neck tight, face tight. No more of those.

No more tights. No more Spanx. No more nothing. It could be a great life just on the water, maybe not on the ocean, but a lake. Oh no, I can't do lakes. I can't do lakes. I can't do, I can't do Earl.

Earl, you're back. Oh, lakes are the only green thing in Earl's life, so I should learn to accept them. Ha ha ha ha ha. Poor Earl. Oh Earl, I wanted to write our own vows, so here's mine. Earl, I have to make no effort with you. I can fart in front of you and be as ugly as I want to be.

Wow. Okay, your turn. All right. Thank you, Shannon. Well, I got this shell here. If you open it up, you'll see a pearl. It is a lake pearl, which means it's from- How dare you? How do you look at me like you hate my guts, Shannon? You hate me. Get used to it. Get used to it, buddy. I love that. He's like, why is it that every time

I say something, you look like you want to kill me? I'm Joe. It's my sense of humor. I love that. She's like, I was joking. I'm like, Earl, this is called the honeymoon phase. Just you wait, Higgins. So can I ask you a question when Shannon was like, I'm just drinking Diet Coke, dot, dot, dot, and tequila.

And tequila. Were you shocked? Because I was. I thought she was still not drinking. Oh, no. I think they just do that when they're like, no, I don't think she ever stopped drinking, did she? Even on Real Housewives of Orange County, she was like, I didn't, I didn't stop drinking because Tamara was like, why are you drinking, bitch? You almost killed the house. Killed the house. And she's like, I don't know.

I don't. Why would I stop drinking? I don't have a drinking problem. I have a driving problem. Right. I stopped drinking cars. I just thought that she stopped drinking after that season, though.

And then she started doing community service, and she wasn't drinking at all. I was completely under... I think I'm wrong. I think I'm deadass wrong. I don't remember that. I feel like that would have come through on my Google News because I have like a Shannon Bedor Google alert.

That's amazing. You must have seen that she got a new dog. Did you see she got a new dog? Yes, she did. That is so exciting. I feel so bad for Archie. You're excited? Okay, let's debate. Okay, I know why. Why are you excited?

Okay, I'm ex- you're right. It's bittersweet. I'm excited because I know that, look, when Archie passes and it's going to be within the next- Is it soon? How old is Archie? I don't know. Oh, no. Where did I go? I'm here. I'm just hitting a vape like a teenager so I do it off the camera. Oh, thank you. Because I'm't know. Oh no, where did I go? I'm here. I'm just hitting a vape like a teenager. So I do it off the camera. Oh, thank you. Because I'm a professional.

Okay, good. No, feel free to do that. Hi. Oh, my closeup, Mr. DeMille. I don't know how old Archie is. He's gotta be like 12 at least. He's gotta be at least 12. So I'm thinking she knows what's around the corner. She's gotta bring in a new guard in order so that it's not as hurtful

when Archie, you know, crosses the rainbow bridge. And honestly, I don't blame her for that. I think that that's the best decision for Shannon. I think it'll help keep Archie young because you know, when you bring another pup in and it just, it helps things. So I'm going to go- Is that true? Because I feel like gays try to do that. Like, we'll bring in a younger model like to make us feel young. It does not make you feel younger. I'm like, oh my God, this waddle is really getting out of control here.

Is this a pashmina or a neck? I'm not really sure. It's Mark's scarf. Okay. I'm getting a neck waddle scarf. Yeah, the reason I think it is depressing is for all the reasons you just gave for it being a positive.

I think it's because my dog is old, like my dog Bueller is old, and so it's probably getting time for the Rainbow Bridge, but I'm not, I can't let him go. And you know, I love him so much. And my sister's like, no, you have to get a puppy because for all the reasons you just said, because it'll make it easier to transition. And then plus Bueller will have somebody, I don't know, to get old with. I don't know.

I don't know what her, it was along the lines of what you were saying. But I just felt like Bueller would know. I think Bueller would be like, oh, okay, did you bring home a syringe as well? Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. Do not do it.

I mean, I completely, I just don't, I don't know if Archie knows. I believe Bueller probably knows. I think it depends on your dog. I think it depends on you. And I have a cat, so what do I know? I'm leaving now, leave me alone. Get out of my room, I want to be alone.

Okay, so yeah, she's getting the art. Why were we talking about her drinking? Yeah, the housewives, I don't know if they ever really quit drinking like they say, because remember when Luanne went to, I've been to prison, would you say? I've been traveling, I've been to prison. So when she did her whole sobriety storyline, and she's like, oh, come over to my apartment, she told somebody and then she's like, do you want to die of coke or something? I'm not drinking. And then she opened her fridge and, come over to my apartment. She told somebody and then she's like, do you want to die a coke or something? I'm not drinking. And then she opened her fridge and it was all rosé bottles.

Do you remember that? Yeah, yeah. So I don't know that they ever quit. Good call. Good call. Okay. I'm set straight. I'm set straight.

No, yeah. I mean, I don't, I have no facts. So this is a show of no facts. So, um, Adam, okay. So now she goes down to the bar and Earl's like, crying. And the guy's like, we know, we know, go get him. Go slash his tires, put a brick through his windshield,

do whatever you got. Get back to stalking. See you on the Lifetime movie. Yeah, and Adam is talking to Shannon and she's like, well, you know, she's doing that humble, like play with the side of her hair thing. She's like, well, you know, I did find his long lost son. I'm a very good person, Adam. I don't know how many languages you can say good person in.

And his like, he just keeps distancing himself. Like he walks back a little further and a little further. He does not see, he doesn't really seem to want to be there either. And when he said last week, if I could put you, Shannon and Lou and mesh them together, I'd have the perfect lady. I was like, please leave, sir. Like what are you doing? Who wants to hear that?

I know. What a disgusting thing to say to someone's face. To someone's leave, sir. Like, what are you doing? Yeah, who wants to hear that? I know. What a disgusting thing to say to somebody's face. To someone's face, yes. Like Ashley says it today, behind some, you know, she's like, if I could take those two guys, yeah, but you don't say it to the person. Absolutely not. Wow, you're such a good,

you're such a perfect half a person. Mm-hmm. And then of course he doesn't kiss Shannon, she's real upset about it, you know? The night before she was like, you missed this? These lips? You had an opportunity to go here? Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh to jump them. And I'm like, guys,

we're in a different time. I don't like, especially Luann's like, why didn't you jump me? Like in this episode, she's like, all right, you had your chance with this. You didn't even do anything. So now I am here right here. What are you going to do? He's like, really? And she's like, Oh, Jesus Christ, I'm going to poop. I can't even take it. I know she did. She was like, get your shit together. Who do I gotta blow to get someone to blow me in this? I'm like, but it's a different time. I think the guys are trying to be respectful

and not just like grabbing, grab your butts and jump all over you. Right, they're not watching The Bachelor every week to see that you have to do that on the second, the second you have a one-on-one, you gotta go in. They don't know. Yeah. They don't. Earl Yeah. Earl knew. Earl knew because Earl saved up his trauma.

He shot his trauma wad and then he made out with Shannon. Yeah, that was smart. That's how you have to do it. That was smart. You have to do that, especially with these ladies. Except for Gisele. Gisele doesn't want that. No, Gisele does.

Gisele's trauma is having to go on dates. What do you think of Philip? Phil? I mean, Phil. Oh, I love living in Bel Air. It's just so different than normal places. You know, we eat in Bel Air, but their restaurants are just so different. Sidewalks are different.

People aren't allowed on them for one thing. That's nice. Oh my God. Bel Air. So psychotic. You look so psychotic. I love it. I love it. The fact that he said gated community so many times, I was like, is that all he knows about the housewives? Is that what he thinks is like their buzzword to like get them excited? Gated community. Gated community. He has his priorities right. I really appreciate that about him.

He prioritizes the son that doesn't have a restraining order on him and loves him. I'm so glad that Gisele gave him a chance, but I don't know how far I should go. Gisele gave his bank account a chance. That's right. She does not like Phil. What does Phil give me? Phil gives me like Eartha Kitt impersonator in Palm Springs.

Yes, oh my God, maybe he is actually. You think you've got one up on me, Batman? You've got nothing on me. I've got the special power of Billy! Dated community. Rarr! Rarr! Rarr!

Rarr! No one is getting a boner for Phil. I can't believe it. But she's like, he has an RR. Okay. So Shannon, you know, is very proud of herself. And the producer's like, so Adam is Earl your biggest competition? He's like, there's no competition here.

I don't really have any idea what's going on with her and Earl, but I have a scarf. Beep. Seriously. This guy needs to look alive. I can't figure this dude out. Come to life, Adam. And then when you do get him talking, he's like,

well, I opened telehealth communications group in Kalamazoo. I have no idea what he does because it put me to sleep. Whatever it is, dozed. Yeah, I felt like it was money laundering. I don't know. It sounded fishy to me. But Ben assured me that telehealth in catamaran or whatever is great, but I don't

know. Telehealth in catamaran. They go hand in hand. Telehealth in catamaran. They go hand in hand. Whatever he was saying last week, Ben's like, no, no, totally telehealth in Kalamazoo and Moran or wherever it was. Totally normal. Whatever he was saying last week. Ben's like, no, no, totally. Telehealth in Kalamazoo ran wherever it was.

Totally normal. But I still left hesitant. Shout out Kalamazoo. I'm from Michigan. What's up? Here's the mitten. Here's the mitten. I'm from here.

Oh yeah, mittens. Mittens. Shout out mittens. Mitten it up, mittens. Okay, so Shannon's like, oh yeah, I did that for Earl. He was shaking, he was crying. Pooped on the floor. Earl, what kind of changed his life.

So she's like, well, and now Adam wants to see where he stands clearly from his line of questioning. So get over here, break open this earl, buddy. I glossed it up, I used the plump plumping gloss and he didn't even take a taste. Every big moment starts with a big dream. But what happens when that big dream turns out to be a big flop?

Welcome Joel everybody someone lived through their trauma on television. Here comes Joel. Welcome Joel, everybody. Hmm. Wait, who's, oh Joel. I'm like, which one of the guys is Joel?

Oh right, the host. The host. Okay. Yes. He's like, oh Jesus Christ. Is it too early to take this off my LinkedIn? I mean, that is such a wild ride to see this, you know, happening, knowing what went down.

Like at what point, this happened at the wrap party. Yeah, that's right. It's what happened off of this, but he is- I know it sucks. Yeah. It is a bummer. But I want to see him. I want to see him turn. I know. I wish we could see it. Yeah, but we don't. We just hear him kind of drone on about it because this man hates his job. And I can't really say that I blame him, but you know what? If you already hate your job,

let me tell you one thing that's not going to help showing up in a speedo. Oh, that doesn't help your job. That doesn't that doesn't make you like your job more. I find, of course, I have a very different build than Joel. But to me, that's like nightmare fuel. I think he loved it. And I think the ladies loved it, too. Oh, yeah. Well, you know, I should work out. Shouldn't we all? I have swig on my, um, yes, I noticed Stanley because I'm recapping, um, well, mom talk, you know, we all call it mom talk, but, so I put that on there for later. Swig, the soda shop they go to? Yeah, it's the soda they drink.

So you don't watch it? I watched the first one. I haven't watched the second one yet because I'm waiting to see if we're gonna recap it, but Ben's in Norway and I don't know, it just seems like too late because don't they all come out at one time? Yes, but what I'm doing is I'm doing, like we did one, the first episode we just did one,

recap the first episode. Then we're gonna do two at a time. And then the last one we'll just do on its own. Cause there's 10 episodes. But I found that if you just take your own time through them, people still listen because it happens so fast. I mean, everyone is binging,

but so much happens in an episode that it's worth taking your time through it. And there's only 10. Okay. Yeah, well I'll definitely be watching it because I loved the first time through it. And there's only 10. Okay. I don't know. Yeah, well, I'll definitely be watching it because I loved the first season of it. They're all so weird.

Oh, I know. They're just so weird. It's a crazy wild world. Yeah, anyway. It really is. Like I'm used to the Christian repression or whatever, but the Mormons take it to a different level. I'm like, you can have,

you can't drink, but you can have orgies? Right. I mean, I'm Mormon. Just kidding. Do you imagine? I'm too lazy for a single. So, that's multiple. So I'd be like, no.

I can't do it. I can't commit. Yeah, that's too much. So Joel comes out and he announces that they have to solidify their connections because guess what? Tonight, new men are coming in. What?? Tonight, new men are coming in. What?

New, fresh, used sail rack men are coming in. Wow. Watch out, ladies. I can't believe this twist. At this point, I said, how long is this show? Because I think this was going to be, I think it should be six episodes, right? I mean, it's Love Hotel. How many do we need? Yeah. What do you think?

I think, is it six total? No, no. I thought, it's Love Hotel. How many do we need? Yeah, I think is it six total? No, no, I thought it was going to be because seems about right. Five or six seems about right. But they didn't say next week on the season finale. Right. You're gonna keep it going. Whoa, how long is this? Because don't the girls trips last six? Uh huh. So I figured it was six, but it's not. It's not no, because they

didn't say next week, someone dies. Are we ever going to get in the ocean, by the way? Speaking of, are they even near an ocean, right? Yeah, we haven't even seen Lua. I'm like, look at me. I can surf. Yeah, I know. We should be seeing her on the beach at some point.

All we've seen her is just walking around this concrete. It's not right. Well, we saw her do that fake scene where she's like, all right, let's take a walk. Let's take a walk on the beach. And then she walked two, she walked two steps and then turned around. She's like, all right, I'm done. You get that? Is that in the can?

You're right. Earl the pearl and Shannon did walk on the beach too. You're right. Okay. I apologize. We saw the beach. Um, but yeah, they haven't gone in it. I don't think so. Pearl and Shannon did walk on the beach too, you're right. Okay, I apologize. We saw the beach. But yeah, they haven't gone in it. I don't think so then.

Now see, I'm skipping through some of this because I can't stop talking about stupid shit. James steals a heart for Lou. Yes. Yes. He steals a glass heart from a tree. He's like, okay, read the note. Read the note. It says you stole my heart. So I stole a heart for you, motherfucker. I hope you like it. I'm gonna stick my beans in you later. And she's like, oh, I love it. Love it, I love a man that steals from me.

We're gonna be the Bonnie and Clyde, the Bonnie and Clyde. She would love it. Housewives. That is, I love your James so much. It's so perfect. Oh my God. Doesn't he sound like that? He does. That's also how I do Bronwyn's husband from Salt Lake City.

So it's kind of cheating and he, Bronwyn's husband doesn't even sound like that. I just make him sound like that. What do you mean you're talking about my wife like that? You better back up buster. You're going to get one right in the soccer. He has that vibe. Totally though. You're so right.

Nailed it, nailed it. Get on my lawn, you damn kids. But James really does talk like that. He does. I can play the guitar, I can play a G and a C. Love hotel. Yeah. Ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. So they joke about their mic shots and they put the worst mic shot of James up. He's just like, ah. And so then we go to Giselle's relationship and Jason is having to wait for Ashley because Ashley is just leading all sorts of men on. Ashley's got them all.

What a ride. Yeah. Joel says Ashley verse, which is actually perfect. Yeah. He's Joel says Ashley verse, which is actually perfect. Yeah. He's in the Ashley verse. And isn't Ashley still dating Beavis from Potomac? Yes. The timeline of this is very sus because it's almost like she said, wait for me, I'll be back. I just have to do this show real quick.

And so I I think they are still. It's all for TV because I think they shot this show in, I mean, it lasts a few hours, but I think they shot it in five minutes, which I'm not sure how that works. But yeah, because they don't even get them in rooms. Like when the new men come on later, they're like, do you guys have rooms? Like, no, they've been just having a sit out here all day. And so I guess this is. That's the worst. Like when you go and you have to travel and then you get somewhere in your room isn't ready. You just don't have a room. So you have to sit in the lobby

or go, you know, do something around the city and just like leave your luggage there. In the summer. Yeah, in the summer. On a beach in your full clothes. I'm sure they love it. So Giselle is talking to Adam and she's like, so Shannon, you've been connecting with Shannon. So you know, you need to make out with her or something. Come on, solidify. That's my two cents.

Shannon. Yes, I love it. I love it. I love it. And he's like, yeah, well, Shannon and Luanne told me both to jump Shannon's bone. Or no, Luanne and Giselle told me both to jump. God damn it told me both to jump Shannon's bones. No, Luanne and Giselle told me both to jump. God damn it. Told me to jump Shannon's bones, but I don't know if my scarf is ready for that yet.

What is he hiding behind that scarf? It's so tight and so short. I don't know what it is, because when he takes it off, you know, because you take it off and I'm like waddle patrol, because, you know, I want to get my waddle under control. So I'm like, what do you do with his? And I think he had the thing where he got it like, put behind his ears, I'm gonna get that.

But he doesn't have a waddle or anything, so I don't know what he's hiding. But he does shave his beard in that shape. You know how guys do that where they're like, look, I have a square jaw. Oh my God, I totally fell for it. It's like the contouring that women do, right? Yes. It's Lincoln logging totally fell for it. It's like the contouring that women do, right? Yes.

Is Lincoln logging your face for men? Yes. I don't know. I thought maybe I was like, does he have a cold? Does he have a sore throat? Because that's tied in such a way where you're like, I just had a lasange, you know? And you're like, I'm feeling better.

I don't know. Yeah. But he's sophisticated. Did he just shoplift in the old times? Yes. Yeah. Could he just shoplift in the old times? Right. Hello. Oh wait, oh, Spud. I was preparing him for the town square.

Yeah. So congratulations on making it halfway through your journey. Okay. Damn it. He does seem so bored. He's like, oh, so some people are going to check out of the Love Hotel. Gentlemen, if you want to say anything to these ladies now, someone pick Joel up. He fell over.

Weekend in Bernie's host. So Jay's like, OK, before Gisele tries to eliminate me, I'm out of here. I'm going to self-eliminate. Fuck this place. Fuck all of you. I'm hot and have a job. And nobody gave me the time of day. Okay?

So thanks. Bye. Bye-bye. Good for him. And Shanley does her, ooh, ooh, ooh. I wish she was. Ooh, ooh. Tear wipe, tear wipe, tear wipe, tear wipe.

All that, all the bullshit tear wipes of these housewives I can't, you know, stop with your tear wipes, stop, stop, they're not real. If anybody needs me to cry in anything, just please say Wally is eliminated and I will cry, I will cry, Wally has to stay, Wally has to stay. She loves him. She does.

She's like, anything but getting rid of Wally. Please, please. I will give you Archie. Please, keep Wally. That's why she got the new dog. Now we know. She gave away Archie during Love Hotel. Oh, God. She made a deal. She made a deal. Gave her firstborn. Mm-hmm. She made a deal. She made a deal. Gave her first born. Giselle's like, are you going to cry? Yeah. And so they all hug Jay and he gets out of there with some self respect, which is nice.

And Shanna's like, wow, Giselle really dropped the ball on that one. God bless, I'm going to scratch my head and do this with my lips. So then, I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom.

I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom.

I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going on that one. God, I'm going to scratch my head and do this with my lips. So then, um, I'm sorry. So Jay's Jay's out of there. Um, so Jules like, yeah, I don't think any of us saw that happening, but I think it speaks volumes about Jay. Wait, who said that?

Joel. Oh, I don't remember him saying that. But I was like, what does it mean? And then he goes, and I think it speaks volumes about the men here. What are you talking about? Shannon's like, oh God, this is so hard. This is so, Oh God, I don't want to go first.

Please don't make Shannon your first. She's like, I said, I said, I said, I said, I didn't want to. Is anybody listening to me? I pick Earl. Adam, I love that you have an education. I pick idiot Earl. I pick stupid uneducated Earl. Turns out I get turned on by uneducated people Earl.

Come on, I guess Earl. I can be in control until he won't let me. And then I will find another person from his family and then we'll get back on track. I have an unlimited supply of investigators and detectives. Don't get me started on how I know someone from Jersey. I will use those sources, I will. Don't make me use my source.

So Luan is like, wow, well, would I have picked Earl? No, but you know, Shannon's a champ. Shannon's gonna Shannon basically. So now Giselle gets to pick and she's like, well, I'm super happy where Phil and I are right now. He's like, well, I'm super happy where Phil and I are right now. He's like, thank you, Belly. Rar. Rar. Rar.

It is my honor and privilege to accept this key. Freeze frame. And Luan, well, you know, I'm giving my key to James. He's the only man who can play the guitar and a penis at the same time. He can play guitar with his penis. James, you're in. I'm so grateful. Gosh, it's like opening her heart.

My vagina. My penis in it. It's my vagina, Earl. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It wasn't Earl. What's your name again?

James. It's my vagina, James. It's what it is. I'm like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It wasn't Earl. What's your name again? James. It's my vagina, James. It's what it is. I'm like an oyster. Earl, don't get any ideas. You're disgusting. Earl's also textured kind of like an oyster, but in a much less sexy way. Um, so... Lake oyster.

Lake oyster? Lake oyster. Okay, uh, but last, last but clearly not least is the Ashley-verse. Ashley. Ashley's like, um, well, I, um, well, eh, we have such a great time. Um, but you know, you just want to have children and I'm not sure if I want children. So I'm picking the old one. Ralph, come here. What are you talking about Ashley? Because she sat Wale down and was like,

do you want children? And he said, yes. And she said, when? And he's like, in a few years. And she's like, wow, that's a really long time Wale. And he's like, okay, well I can have them in 30 days if you want, like, do you want them now? And so there she's taking that and she's like, okay, well, I can have them in 30 days if you want. Like, do you want them now? And so now she's taking that and she's like, oh my gosh, you guys, well, they are stressing

me out because like, now he wants kids and I don't want kids. And he said he wants them within 30 days. Okay, that's. He literally has them on layaway. Like we have to go get them right now. I mean, he gave it rain. She was like, it could be a year, could be four, anywhere in between. I could want kids. I could not want kids. You tell me what I need to do to

win this show. She's like, okay, you've given the correct answer. While I gave the incorrect answer, he's trying to pressure me into having children. I have a boyfriend. We're waiting for me in Potomac, somewhere in the Potomac area. I mean, honestly, the fact she cannot be with someone who wants to have a child, you cannot do that, Ashley. You're done. You cannot have another baby. Please, just have fun with your life. What do you think? You don't think that she should have another child, do you? Well, I don't know because I have kind of a cynical view with Ashley because she was married to Michael. And you don't, I don't care what Ashley says. No one marries Michael Darby for love.

I'm sorry. I just don't, I never bought it. I'll never buy that. I don't think it's that crazy to say it. So I think that she will have babies, but I think she loves having kids. I just think that she needs, you know, she needs a money man. She's not gonna, and I don't know that Wale is not. What does Wale do?

I forgot. Don't know what one of these men do. I'm not interested. They live in Kalamazoo, Catamaran. Catamaran's a country. Yeah, Catamaran's a country. I hear the words, I see what's typed up and it just washes right over me and into the drain.

I just let it go. Yeah, they are kind of those like generic guy jobs. Yes, right. So I don't know what he does either, but I think that Ashley, but then she's with Beavis and I don't know what Beavis does either. So I don't really know. I've always thought Ashley has some kind of weird relationship with Michael Darby where even if she didn't get with him for love, they've come to some sort of thing over the years, like some kind of comfort where he's just

always going to be there. I don't think he's going to be one of those exes that's going to just go away. And I think that she probably likes having him there in some way. She does. Remember when he was like, well, I'll just buy a house. We'll put it in the LLC and then I can still come over whenever I want to.'s like, oh my God. Okay, great. And her family's like, no, you can't do that. She's like, why? Michael wants to open an Oz II in the new house and he can come over. Like what? It's a good idea. I talked to my lawyer about it.

Yeah. So I don't know. I don't think that Ashley's gonna, if she dates young like Beavis, I think it's just going to be dating. I don't think she'll get married. I think if she gets married again, it's going to have to be a heavy hitter. And you're right. If she does find somebody who she really does feel like she's in love with and has money and is interested in really being hands on raising a family, then maybe you're right. Maybe she would. Does she do it?

Or maybe if like Beavis does threesomes with her in Darby or something, and then he can like accept both of them and take care of both of them. Yeah. Then she would be interested. Does she need something like that? She needs like a TLC marriage.

Yeah, she does. She's gonna move on over there. Yeah, she's gonna outgrow Bravo with some life changes and go over to DLC Smart. Yeah, I would love that. Ashley and Michael Darby married to Beavis, raising a big crazy family. It would be kind of amazing, actually. But Michael's never seen. He'll never be on camera.

No, no. Well, maybe on TLC you're allowed to grab people's asses. I don't know. Because wasn't that his thing when he left? He's like, oh, I will not be called a predator for trying to take a free sample off a sample tray. They're like, Michael, that was not a sample. That was an employee of the company.

Well, it was there. We were at Costco. I was just trying to be nice. So if they let him sexually harass people, he'll be back. But who knows? Yes. Congratulations, you've reached the end of part one of a two part recap. For part two, go look for the recap that says part two.
