Starting point is 00:02:20 That was good. It was romantic in the end. Yeah, well, it was really wonderful seeing all those clips on social media and everything, and it was really cool to see all of our friends. And I was a little jealous. I was jealous that you got to, like, you know, ham it up with some of those folks. But I hope that you two go on vacation for a week,

Kempire did a great job on this one. Love you, Kempire. Thanks for stopping by, buddy. We love Kempire. Yeah, because today we're talking
Starting point is 00:02:51 about Real Housewives of Atlanta. Before we dive into that, next week we go to Seattle, and we are going to recap the season premiere of the Real Housewives of Miami. So that's going to be a whole lot of fun. That is next Thursday. So go to watchercrappens.com to get your tickets. And then the following Thursday on June 19th, we have the finale of the Mounting Astera Tour.

Jane Fonda Theater, maybe. It could be many things. We think we know what we're going to recap there, but we'll still give it like a week

And of course, Patreon, patreon.com slash watch where crap ends. Get access to bonus episodes starting tomorrow, by the way, Ronnie, Love Island is back.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Love Island USA with our sweet, sweet Ariana as our, as the host. It is back. So what we did last year is that we just did sort of like 20-minute check-ins where we just kind of talked about what we watched. It's not full recaps, just like this, because if we did full recaps of Love Island, we would literally just like die. That's a whole other industry.
Starting point is 00:04:10 That's a lot. But we're going to check in. Here's nine hours a week of pure ho-ery. No. No. But what we will do is we will talk about the previous night's episode on Patreon pretty much every day. So we're looking forward to that. That's going to be a fun time. Anything else I have to announce? we will do is we will talk about the previous night's episode on Patreon pretty much every
Starting point is 00:04:25 day. So we're looking forward to that. That's gonna be a fun time. Anything else I have to announce? I'm rusty. I'm like, how do I do this again? What am I supposed to announce the top of the show? Am I doing okay? You nailed it. You nailed it, buddy. Nailed it. I will say this. I got a lot of people who reached out about, like, they want to hear about my Norway trip or whatever, I was kind of thinking Ronnie that what I might do is like I might make like a little video where I just like go through it like you know how
Starting point is 00:04:50 like back in the old days when you took pictures on a trip you did like a slideshow and you bored all your friends and family and make them like, but I was thinking maybe I could bore the internet with it and maybe I just do like a little video and I can show people through my photos. So I think I might try to do that this week. Yeah, make like a picture book. Yeah. Because it'll be too long for me to go on about every single thing.
Starting point is 00:05:09 And you know, my, me, I'm going to start going on about every single thing, but in a video for on its own separate video, I might just do that. So, you know, do it. Why not? Yeah. Start your Magnolia network. Ben's guide to Norway. Ben Noelia in Norway. Well I'm so glad that, so this is my first time ever going on a tour group and I'm so glad
Starting point is 00:05:31 that a member of my Norwegian tour group, Fran, will be joining us in Seattle, the Seattle show, because she's from that area. Shout out to Fran. Fran! Love it, can't wait to meet you Fran. Yes, she's great. So anyway, enough about that. Do a whole series so we can Love it, can't wait to meet you, Fran. Yes, she's great. So anyway, enough about that.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Do a whole series so we can watch it, because watching all of your Instagram stories and stuff was just, I mean, that was magical, my goodness. I've never seen somebody eat so much fish. It was a lot of beautiful fish. It was a lot of fish. And really gorgeous food, my God. It was amazing, like The food was great.
Starting point is 00:06:05 A lot of people ahead of the trip were like, does Norway really have good food? But I can tell you now, Norway has good food, and I ate a lot of it. It was basically a week of food. People are such dicks. Yes, people like food everywhere, guys. Okay, everybody eats.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Yeah, it was basically like butter, cream, butter, cream, butter, cream, butter, cream, butter, cream. I mean, it was basically like buttercream, buttercream, buttercream, buttercream, buttercream. I mean, it was perfect. It was wonderful. Wait a second. Hey, wait a minute. Stop, stop basing your meals on my fitness pal entries. I was like, the roads were so wide. I couldn't believe it. I was surprised by all the billboards advertising Bible things. Imagine. You just got scammed. I just went to Texas instead of Norway. They're like, this is Josh Luke and Duke.
Starting point is 00:06:53 It's Manny's, okay. It's the dark Manny's. Flugendeagin. You can't trick me, Helga. It was so good. But anyway, I know, I felt like I was gonna say all these fun things about Norway today. And now I'm like, I don't even know what to say.
Starting point is 00:07:11 So I'm just gonna- You know what, you don't need to shoot your Norway leg. Just let them unleash as they come up throughout the week, you know? I know, this is gonna be the beginning of my new, oh, did I tell you I went to Norway phase, right? Like that's what's gonna be for the next two weeks. It'll be like, well, when I was in Norway.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Let me tell you, the Forks aren't laid out the same way as they are in Norway, I'll tell you that. I'm literally gonna be that person for like a month. I'm already, I'm gonna apologize in advance, but I'm gonna be like, well, in Norway, the way they watch TV is that they act, what they do is they just take a herring and attach an antenna to it and see what they can see.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Herring with an antenna. You're just going to be like, I smell rain in the air, but oddly enough it smells like Norwegian rain. Ronnie, I can't help but notice a lot of sunlight coming through the windows behind you. You know, in Norway, the sun was out very late. coming through the windows behind you. You know, in Norway, the sun was out very late. It could be midnight in Norway right now. But what I will say is that today we're talking about Real Housewives of Atlanta,
Starting point is 00:08:14 and I watched my screener in an airport in Helsinki, because I lay over in Helsinki, because I only got back from Norway last night, by the way. I'm basically still in Norway, because I was in Norway, in case you didn't hear. And I have to say, there was something sort of weird and surreal about watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta in Helsinki at an airport.
Starting point is 00:08:29 I don't know why. It just felt like strange to be, like, to be, like, watching Bravo TV in the middle of, like, a foreign country. When we traveled last year out of the country to do crap in shows, I was watching shows in the airport, and I was hiding the computer. Like, I felt embarrassed in Europe to do crap in shows, I was watching shows in the airport, and I was hiding the computer. Like, I felt embarrassed in Europe to be watching Housewives,
Starting point is 00:08:49 because I feel like there's such a prevalent, like, stupid Americans, and, you know, we can argue about whether that's accurate or not. Well, this is not a conversation for that. But I was definitely like, oh, my God, they're gonna think I'm so stupid. You know, so I was, like, hiding my Housewives. And then I came back and I felt ashamed.
Starting point is 00:09:06 I was like, why would you hide that? Don't hide. Be proud. Be proud. Actually, what I will say, what was really so funny was that like one of the places that I went to, like where my little group tour began was a small city on the coast called Ulesund.
Starting point is 00:09:22 And that was where Below Deck Adventure was based. And I was like, of course that's where it was based. Of course, everything, no matter what, comes back to Bravo. Even if I go to Norway, I'm like, oh, I'm going to where Below Deck Adventure was. Yeah, I saw Captain Kerry messaging you, being like, hello, mate, I see you're out having an adventure. You need any tips on the locals?
Starting point is 00:09:41 Let me know. One of the best tin fish stops there are. He did. He gave me some tips, because I also made it my mission to recreate Faye's official Bravo bio photo. Um, they are in Olson. So I found what looked to be the exact spot where she posed. And I found some random stranger. I said, excuse me, could you hold my camera?
Starting point is 00:10:04 I'm trying to take a... I'm trying to do a picture and I'm also trying to make it look like this woman. And I showed her the picture of Faye standing there like, I'm Faye, wear your hair down and make up on your face when you're swimming, people. Oh, that's really important in this town is lipstick and hairspray, ladies. Get out there.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Get out there and impress. So let's get to real housewives of Atlanta. Now we're celebrating one of my favorite housewives things this week, which is really rich people patting themselves on the back for taking a luxury trip and bagging some shit up for goodwill. I mean, you would think these women
Starting point is 00:10:39 donated their implants to starving children. I mean, I'm like, wow, you guys are really... They did. ...really patting themselves on the shoulder really hard for this while they're packing for a luxury trip. They're like, it's really all about the charity. All right, yeah. Take that money and give that to the poor people, okay?
Starting point is 00:10:57 Then I'll be impressed. But as for the rest of it, we start with Shamiah, with Shia, and you see just massive boxes of little girl shit that they've packed up. And she's like, we're giving all this stuff away to charity? with Shamia with Shia, and you see just massive boxes of little girl shit that they've packed up. And she's like, we're giving all this stuff away to charity because we're good people. And she's like, no, fuck poor people.
Starting point is 00:11:15 I wanna keep it. It was so interesting because, you know, on the one hand it's like, this is so lovely that they're giving all these toys to the poor people. But then, honestly, my first instinct was, why the fuck did they buy that many toys for that one little girl?
Starting point is 00:11:33 She was stacks on stacks on stacks on stacks of toys. This is so excessive. Like, you want like a trophy for donating all this stuff, and yet, like, let's not overlook the insane overconsumption here. This was, it was so crazy. Yeah, I mean, this is housewives though, you know, that's what it is. But it's like, yeah, they're like, we're such givers.
Starting point is 00:11:56 It's like, guys. Yeah, congratulations. I just imagine Melissa Gorgas standing there at the donation center like, oh, here you go, enjoy your used clothes. Yeah. From Envy. It's the overstock from Envy.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Yeah. And meanwhile she's like, yeah, you know, my daughters are blessed, but I just don't want them growing up bratty. And cut to her kid with like, you know, a mile high. Yeah. Stack of shit. Yeah, and you know, a mile high stack of shit. Yeah, and you know, the only reason why they're getting rid of that shit is because there's new shit
Starting point is 00:12:29 to take its place. Like, there's, you cannot tell me that there's, this kid now has no toys. Like, she, look, she seems like a great little girl, but like, wait, this is too much. This is too much, I'm sorry. You should not have so many, for one child, although I guess she has, I have so many... For one child, although I guess she has...
Starting point is 00:12:45 I know she has more than one child, but it seemed like all these toys were really for Shia. And you should not have so many toys that they can fit in stacks and stacks and stacks all the way up to the roof of your garage. I'm sorry, it is too much. -♪ HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH Here's what you need. One good toy. So, like, when I was a kid, I mean, I had toys and stuff. It's not like I was so deprived, you know?
Starting point is 00:13:10 I was a spoiled kid, but you need one good toy that can just... you can have fun with forever. I had this toy box that was shaped like a big plastic football, and then I would shove my little sister in there, and then me and my friends would, like, roll her down the street in it, or we'd, like, push it down the stairs with her in it.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Just get this. Ideally, any sort of vessel that you can put another child into and roll them around somewhere, that's really all you need. All you need is an abuse chamber for that sibling, you know? And then you've got fun that'll last for years, because we're still laughing about it now. My sister laughs like this. So... laughing about it now. My sister laughs like this though. She's like still laughing about it to my therapist.
Starting point is 00:13:50 I feel like a child could probably, I'm just trying to think of what I had. And like I think I probably had about, I probably had, if you put it all together, maybe like two laundry baskets worth of toys, which I think is like a nice amount of variety or whatever. It's just, it's not a garage full. I mean, it's just at that point, you're, you're spoiling your child.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Well, you know, if you can do it, do it. It's America. Pay tax. Spoil my own child if I want to. Spoil your child, go have fun with it. But I also fully expect you to then, you know, you, you also have to foot the therapy bill later on. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Yeah. And then she makes her husband look really good too, cause she's like, well, I fully expect you to then, you know, you also have to foot the therapy bill later on, okay? Yeah, and then she makes her husband look really good too, because she's like, well, you know, the thing is, I'm just a giver. Like, I'm just, all I do is give, give, give. Like, I love charity, you know, and it's a bit of a tug of war, even with my husband, because I remember I pulled under the 285 bridge,
Starting point is 00:14:41 and I just started cooking an entirely separate meal for homeless people. Like, well, what does that mean? You pulled under the bridge, like you were cooking another meal for your family. I know. Under the bridge and then... Was there a meal on top of the bridge that was happening? It's like I cooked an entirely separate meal for the homeless people. And my husband was like, get in the car, get in the car right now.
Starting point is 00:15:03 But I wouldn't because you got to pay it forward. And the way I pay it forward is I drive under freeways. I pull out a George Foreman grill and get some hot dogs going. I'm going to speed the fuck out of there. Why, why did I feel like the story was not true or was embellished? Something about it just was too self-serving. I just pulled up under the freeway and started cooking for the homeless. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Did you bring a grill? She also makes it sound like it was spontaneous. Like she just pulled over and started cooking, and her husband's like, no, get back in the car. The implication is they were growing somewhere. They were going off to the mall or something, and she's like, wait, I have to cook a meal. Was there, was there like a homeless account?
Starting point is 00:15:45 Like a... Get me out of this car right now. Get the foreman out of the trunk. I'm cooking right now for these homeless people. Yeah, I just did not believe this. And like, I would love to be proven wrong. Show the photos. That would be one. And then I'll be like, you know what? That's great.
Starting point is 00:15:58 I will eat my words just the way the people eat your food. But until then, I'm sorry. This just sounds like the biggest crock of shit. Like, no, you didn't pull over under the road, under the bypass and cooked a meal for everyone. And then her husband didn't even know she was gonna do it, that's the best part. Get back in the car, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:16:18 She just just left. That meant that she was driving around with ingredients and cooking materials and potentially a grill or maybe she used some open fire that was already happening. But I just don't. It's like open fire. She just already used the trash fire or whatever.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Well maybe she was coming back from Costco and she was like, you know what? That's just funny, I'm sorry. It's just how I was worded was so funny. So now we enter the part where every housewife has to prove how charitable they are, because it's like a charity episode. And that's a big part of Housewives.
Starting point is 00:16:51 So, or it used to be anyway. So they're like, well, I'm charitable. Oh, god, I just love giving stuff away. Housefuls of stuff. Just so much stuff. God, just last week I gave away so much stuff. I gave away so much last week. I hope I have enough left this week to give away. That's a lot of stuff. God, just last week I gave away so much stuff. I gave away so much last week. I hope I have enough left this week to give away.
Starting point is 00:17:08 That was a lot of stuff. So Cynthia donated stuff and she was like, it was important for me to go and walk down the aisle and pick out all my supplies. So she shows up and then someone arrives. She had Peter in a box. They're like, this is not, you can't give this away. She's like, please, just take him.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Like, he's going to jail soon, just... It's his big ploy to get out of the country. He's like, wrap me up, make it seem like I'm supplies. Peter's brew. She's like, here, surplus from Peter's brew. Just a bunch of beans, but like, Peter's like, Peter has like a straw that's poking out above the beans so he can breathe, but he's really being smuggled
Starting point is 00:17:46 out of the country. Yeah, it's like some expired Peters Brew fucking pods. Or like, Chahill books, like a whole box of just leftover copies of Chahill. Yeah, and then Drew sent someone to give something. And then Portia says, like, I'm very philanthropic, so I definitely have sent in a donation.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Which means that she did not give to this drive, but maybe she cut a check to the organization. But basically... She sent a wig. She sent an old discarded wig. Like, she smashed off a borrowed wig from Lauren and put it in an envelope. BOTH CHUCKLE Well, I hope that Dennis sent some hot dogs
Starting point is 00:18:23 for crying it loud. BOTH CHUCKLE Um, so they all talk about it. And Angela said that she grew up, you know, Well, I hope that Dennis sent some hot dogs for crying it loud. So they all talk about and Angela said that she grew up, you know, going to the Salvation Army because there was a program where inner city kids could eat. And so, you know, it's a give back thing. So everybody's doing that. It's time for commercial. It's time for a crap.
Starting point is 00:18:43 It's commercial. It's time for a Crappins commercial. 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
Starting point is 00:19:25 connected with the people that I'm talking to and leave with maybe some nuggets that help them feel a little more hopeful.

And then we get my favorite part of it all, the shame, the shame of Brit showing up and being like, Um, guys, it's been like so hard. I had the worst experience with my attorney planner. And so I brought some toilet paper. And they're like, you just brought toilet paper?
Starting point is 00:20:54 She brought like, she got brought like one or two of the four packs. It wasn't even like one of those big old things that you have to put like a handle on out of Target. It was literally she just went to CVS and found one and she and she's such a liar. She's like, no, I have so much stuff, but I couldn't carry everything in the car. So I'm just gonna have somebody send it later. I'm like, you mean so that four pack of toilet paper took up too much room in the back seat?
Starting point is 00:21:27 Oh, okay. And she even put it, she put it in a box to make it seem like it was more than it was, but they opened up the box. And they totally called her out on it. They just opened it and Shamir was like, I see what you're doing. This is bare naked or whatever.
Starting point is 00:21:41 The boxes are bare naked. By the way, and Britt said, I got a text from Shamir and like, This is bare naked or whatever. The boxes are bare naked. By the way, and Britt said, I got a text from Shamir and like, it was late notice that she wanted us to donate. So I got as much as I could. She was like implying that like, because Shamir told them so late, she couldn't donate more.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Like you're in your house. You just go around, you find some stuff. You can always find something to donate, always. Go to Drew's house, she'll have, cause Drew didn't bring shit either. You know, Drew brought like a Pop-Tart. Drew's like, here, here's a half-eaten Pop-Tart and a Ring Cam I stole out of Ralph's basement.
Starting point is 00:22:12 I know. She should have donated Ralph's keyboard. I'd love to see what it does. Even the needy people are like, I'm not taking this boombox. What the hell do I look like? Give me a purse. Oh, gosh. Yeah, Britt is...
Starting point is 00:22:27 You know, one thing that we talked about a few weeks ago was when they went to Nashville, and there was like some focus on the fact that Kelly arranged for Britt to get like some glam done by her... by Paris, her person. We were like, this felt like it was setting up for some sort of issue with Brit being cheap or not paying something and then just sort of went away.
Starting point is 00:22:49 But it looks like next week, according to the previews, it looks like the focus is coming back to Brit basically being cheap and not paying for shit. And so I'm really excited on this front. Oh, good. Yeah, that's a little thread. They'll pick it up. I'm hoping it ties back to Paris. I'm hoping. ties back to Paris. I'm hoping.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Oh, Paris. Yeah, Paris seems, like, way worse than we've seen so far. So I'd like to see the full Paris effect. Yeah, I agree. Like, Paris put her in... I'm assuming it was Paris that put Kelly in that outfit that she wore to watch What Happens Live, but that's the same outfit that Phaedra wears
Starting point is 00:23:23 in the opening of this show, and I'm so embarrassed because I feel like Phaedra did it first if it was... I mean, it would have already been filmed, right? So... Yeah, I was... It would have been filmed. And so when you see that Kelly actually wore that outfit on Watch What Happens Live, it's like, really? Because it's such a really striking look
Starting point is 00:23:44 for the opening, for Phaedra's look. So the fact that she would try to kind of like do it first, I'm like, where did that come from? Why did she even do that? And I was like, if I lived in Atlanta, I would look out and see if there was a head rolling down the street. Like a head with a Kate Goslin haircut.
Starting point is 00:24:00 It's just like Paris's head rolling down the street. Like, I'm sorry, girl. I'm sorry. Cause you deserve it, girl. That was terrible, that was embarrassing. So then we get, we're talking about going to Grenada and you know, it's one of those like, we are girls and so we're gonna reset and renew
Starting point is 00:24:21 cause that's what this friend group needs. Yeah, that's like, that's what this friend group needs. Yeah. Um, that's like, that's always the most hilarious thing that they do before a trip on every single Real Housewives show. I've been like, there's been a lot of tension. So we're going to go on a group trip and we're just going to reset and be friends. I'm like, we're, I think next year we might be hitting like year 20 of the Real Housewives. I'm not sure. Has the vacation ever healed anyone?
Starting point is 00:24:46 Have we ever seen any healing? Literally never. Maybe the closest is when that one boring vacation, I think, in Greece, where Cynthia made them, like, cast things into the water. But generally speaking, no healing on these things. Yeah, no healing. This is not a show for healing, okay?
Starting point is 00:25:04 So healing your off season, that's what I say. So Shamia's like, okay, you know, me and Portia had a discussion and now we're getting along great because, you know, we kind of fought in a tea shop, but then I think Portia took five teas to go. Or the food. Portia's like, we are done here.
Starting point is 00:25:21 I will take that food to go. And she just keeps eating it. They're taking the plate away and she's like grabbing food in her leaves. I will take that food to go." And she just keeps eating it. They're taking the plate away, and she's like grabbing food in her leaves. I'll take hers too. I'll take hers too. Yeah. And then Shia comes out and she announces that like,
Starting point is 00:25:34 after this one, then that's the last box. And they're like, yay, Shia. So speaking of tea, now we go to Portia and Drew going to a coffee shop to drinking of tea. Now we go to Portia and Drew going to a coffee shop to also have tea. And Portia walks in and Drew is wearing this blonde wig. And so Portia's like, oh, I didn't recognize you from the back.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Which it turns out that was like her little jab because Drew is like not wearing good naked hair. Like apparently she's supposed to be, but not supposed to be at the same time. Well, I think she quit doing it and Portia was trying to shade her wig. She's like, that's supposed to be, but not supposed to be at the same time. Well, I think she quit doing it, and Portia was trying to shade her wig. She's like, that's not go naked hair. But the producer's like, well actually, she said it was,
Starting point is 00:26:11 because we saw Drew post on Instagram and tagged, go naked hair. And she's like, then it must be a mixture. Must be a mixture. She's calling her own wigs trash. She's self-burning, basically. So then they order tea, and this is all to have peace before the trip, right?
Starting point is 00:26:29 So Drew has already ordered a tea. So she gets her tea, and then Portia asks what tea they have, and the lady's like, we've got this tea, that tea, we've got some with ginger and turmeric. And then Drew's like, oh my god, I need the ginger and turmeric too, because this is free. So just please bring me a ginger and turmeric, because I have vocal cords.
Starting point is 00:26:48 I'm a very serious singer now. I'm basically Celine, so please get me some turmeric. I'm losing my voice. I've been doing backup singing for Candace again. So I've been doing a lot of, oh, oh. Yeah. And she says it like 10 times in the scene, like, oh, are you sure you don't have the
Starting point is 00:27:08 tumor? Because my voice, I'm a singer. Very, very big singer. Huge. Oh, I can barely talk now. Is the air on? Oh, porcupine, porcupine, porcupine, porcupine, porcupine. Red, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, porcupine, porcupine. Red Lori, yellow Lori. They're at Lori, yellow Lori.
Starting point is 00:27:25 She's like, sorry, I have to keep my instrument fresh because it is paying for your daughter's college. So Drew's like, well, I'm gonna have an album release showcase and I don't even know if you know, but I did sign my deal with Dennis. I'm like, what is happening? Are they working together? Are they not working together?
Starting point is 00:27:44 I can't figure this out anymore. Well, now they're working together again because... When she... Well, last week, she had this thing where she's like, okay, we're going to my record signing today. Okay. Well, we know where her record company is. So, I was like, what's this thing gonna be? How is she gonna be signing for her record?
Starting point is 00:27:59 But she goes to some office with her lawyer, and then she calls Dennis before they sign the deal so that Dennis can apologize to her. So Dennis apologizes. He's like, I never made it seem that way. I don't know what Portia's thinking. And so then she's like, oh my God, I signed my deal with Dennis. So at one minute she's saying she's gonna sign her deal,
Starting point is 00:28:18 like making it sound like it's a record company, but then it sounded like she was signing a deal through the lawyer for Dennis to produce the music for her. So, I don't know. Fucking Drew, why so much? I don't know what the hell's going on. but then it sounded like she was signing a deal through the lawyer for Dennis to produce the music for her. So, I don't know, fucking Drew, why so much? I don't know what the hell's going on. Yeah, it's really hard to follow, except... Just still... Whenever I get confused,
Starting point is 00:28:38 I just say, Ben, just remember, you don't have to worry about like the nitty-gritty about this record deal. Just know that Drew is... singing music that was produced by a hot dog salesman. Just always remember that make that your guiding light and you will always be happy. So Portia's basically saying like, you know, now Portia's decided that the fact that Drew is working with Dennis, like, with all the things going on in her life, this is on a scale of one to ten,
Starting point is 00:29:08 this is just a two. So she's, for whatever reason, this thing that she was so angry about all season, she's now dropped it down to a two, and I have to believe that she has recalibrated it because now she's had her petty moment where she filmed with Ralph a few weeks ago, and now, like, it's even, she did her petty thing, and now she doesn't care. She wants to move on,
Starting point is 00:29:23 start a new fight with someone. Yeah, because this fight's so stupid, and it's even. She did her petty thing, and now she doesn't care. She wants to move on, start a new fight with someone. Yeah, because this fight's so stupid, and it's way late in the season to still be fighting over this. And I think even Portia's bored. You know, she's like, this isn't even fun. Let's move this along. So, this is Bueller, my dog. He is on his way here from Texas.
Starting point is 00:29:38 This lady's driving him. I'm so excited. He should be here today. But she sent me these pictures. Does he look like he is being held hostage? BOWEN LAUGHS I think, I mean, most dogs, technically, if they're on a leash, sort of look like that anyway, right? BOWEN LAUGHS
Starting point is 00:29:53 They just want to run free. You have that fucking camera out of my face. I'm not going to read your message on camera, okay? He looks more like when they saved Damien Lewis on the first episode of Homeland, and they pulled him out of a bunker in Iraq. And they're like, is he a hero or a terrorist? That's how I'm gonna be with Bueller when he comes out.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Has Bueller been radicalized? Oh, Mac Bueller, we're gonna have some sensitive conversations without you in the room. I don't know if I can trust you yet. I always hate it on that show. I'm like, Bueller, we're going to have some sensitive conversations without you in the room. I don't know if I can trust you yet. I always, I always hated on that show. I think we discussed this. I always hated that his, that character's name like was Brody, like his last name was
Starting point is 00:30:34 Brody like his name was like Tom Brody or something like that. Not to be confused with Tom Brady and that, but everyone would call him Brody. I was like, okay, they always call him Brody because that's his last name. But then his wife would call him Brody. I'm like, why isn't it weird that you're, you're Brody. I was like, okay, they always call him Brody. Cause that's his last name. But then his wife would call him Brody. I'm like, why isn't it weird that you're, you're Brody too. It always bothered me. Like the whole show. I hated that. She always be like Brody. Things to bother you about Homeland. That's what really stuck in your craw.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Well, number one was awful. And betrayal and cheating and psychological warfare. God, it really bugged me that they called that guy Brody. I didn't like that she called him Brody. Because you're Brody too. No, it makes sense. I also hated that theme music. That's what got you hung up.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Yeah, the theme music was terrible on that show. It drove me absolutely nuts. Oh, the acid jazz. Because she's bipolar or whatever. They're like, bipolar people only hear things in acid jazz. The key message. So why couldn't they have hired Amy Grant to do it instead? Amy Grant doing the Homeland theme song.
Starting point is 00:31:38 It'd just be a ballad. It'll be like, I thought you were gone, but you came back to me. Mm-hmm. And wait a minute, is this a song about Jesus? Yeah. What song is this?
Starting point is 00:31:52 Yeah. Oh. Oh. That's what love can do. They just used that song. Hmm. Oh, to have a time machine. So, Portia and Drew are having a tea fight, basically.
Starting point is 00:32:05 She was like, oh, ginger and turmeric. And the waiter's like, guess what, we are out. We gave her the last ginger and turmeric. Sorry. So you're gonna have to pick something else. She goes, oh no, no, you don't have ginger and turmeric, but my voice, listen to it, my voice. And so she's like, okay, ma'am,
Starting point is 00:32:22 I'll see if I can make you something. She's just, whatever you make me, just make it for my voice." And so she's like, okay, ma'am, I'll see if I can make you something. She's just, whatever you make me, just make it for my voice, really. And then she goes, not black tea. She goes, no, not black tea. And then so she brings her tea and she's like, okay. And now Drew, Drew's cheap ass has two free teas in front of her.
Starting point is 00:32:38 And so she's like, what is this one? They're like, black tea. She's like, no, please. I really need it for my voice. I was really need to sell me with my vocal cords. Drew, the tea is not gonna help at this point, okay? The ship has sailed, okay. So- Tumor doesn't help tone.
Starting point is 00:32:58 That's right. That's right. So Portia, so they're talking about Dennis a little bit and then it goes south pretty quickly. Borsha's like, you know, I was upset. I could have communicated better, but you know, I know that you were supposed to be promoting your music on the show
Starting point is 00:33:17 and he said he wanted to clear his name. So I know that he did that with you on camera, but you know, like you're romantically linked. And she's like, what? And she goes, well, I mean, it's there. It's not like I did it, it's there. Like you're romantically linked now. She's like, that makes me feel very uncomfortable,
Starting point is 00:33:34 both vocally and psychologically, because it's not real, it's not, you know? Yeah, but at the end of the day, you get Ginger for Tumorik, and you mentioned me filming with Dennis, and, like, we're here to clear the air about that, and, like, you've been filming with Ralph. You know, and so then they show a clip of that.
Starting point is 00:33:52 And, um, and Portia is like... No, no, I came to meet Jamiah, and Jamiah was already meeting with Ralph. Which is, like... Yeah, you knew Ralph was gonna be there. Of course. What a coincidence. Wow. I just got there so quick, you know, with all the camera crews and the call sheets.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Didn't... Had no idea. No idea. And Portia, who is always fond of walking out of a scene, I mean, she's been doing this for years, she will walk out of a scene if she doesn't want to do it anymore. She did not turn around when she saw Ralph. She did not say, oh, this is wrong, okay? Because, you know, I mean, she walked out of Kenya's spa day,
Starting point is 00:34:26 or whatever, her big flame out. So she'll walk out if she feels like something is wrong. But she definitely stayed and sat and got that meal with Ralph. Yeah. Because, yeah, she even walks out of the scene. So, yeah, I think you're right. So Drew's like, oh, I'm listening to you.
Starting point is 00:34:40 I want to give you the floor. And so, Portia's like, well, you know, Dennis just wanted to make it clear that I'm not the one, and you know, she's got somebody else in the first place. You know, that guy Black. And she's like, I'm Black, you mean my friend? She's like, oh yeah, your friend, your friend Black? Really, Black, you're dating Black?
Starting point is 00:34:58 Admit that you're dating Black. And she's like, what about you in future? She's like, how dare you, how dare you say I'm dating future? It's Shannon Maddour. Oh, was that dare you? How dare you say I'm dating future? It's Shannon Maddor. Oh, was that what the? How dare you accuse me of dating future? I'm very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
Starting point is 00:35:10 very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, future the pearl. I didn't realize that was the name that they were bleeping out. I love that. I figured it had to be somewhat important because like black. I think it was that.
Starting point is 00:35:19 Well, with black, they blurred out his face, right? They showed a picture with Dennis and Drew and Black, right? Or was the guy who I thought was Dennis, was that Black? I don't remember who they were blocking out of there, but they said Black, but then they wouldn't say Future. But yeah, there were roommates that she was dating Future. Simon had suspicions of Portia sleeping with Future during their marriage.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Oh, Dawn, oh, Dawn,on, Adon, Adon. Future is hot. I'm gonna support Portia leaving Simon or having an affair with Future over Simon. One, you know an old man's never gonna like the term Future anyway. Oh, that's hilarious. It's in our nature. Like our future is not bright.
Starting point is 00:36:05 Oh, goodness. So, now they're getting mad at each other about who they're accusing each other of dating because neither one of them wants this on TV. But, Portia's like, you're dating somebody, and then Drew's like, okay, well then you're dating somebody. So, now it's a who can be faker on TV and hide their boyfriend the best?
Starting point is 00:36:29 So, Drew's like, I'm not gonna jeopardize my future with my kids to start dating. I'm not gonna do that. And, Portia's like, well, people, married people date all the time. Right. And, yeah, and, but Drew is like, no, I'm in a very messy divorce, and you don't understand. It's very tricky, and, but Drew is like, no, I'm in a very messy divorce and you don't understand. It's very tricky. And you know, like, you know, so I don't really need the smoke for me when it isn't real. Okay. Cause that's the elephant in the room. Portia's
Starting point is 00:36:54 like, okay. She's like, okay, I'm not going to argue with you, Drew. I'm really not. She's like, well, she's like, no, no one's arguing. We're just two grown women having discussions and me accusing you of dating future, which by the way, of course, like, you know, this is so Drew and Portia because like Portia's rumors that she's linked to like a music superstar and Drew's is something she just some random dude, like Drew's like doing music with hot dog, hot dog makers. And she doesn't, even her rumors are low rent. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Get better rumors. So then the waiter comes back and they're like, okay, ma'am, we finally got you a tea we think you're going to like.
Starting point is 00:37:38 Here's your black tea. She's like, no, come on. So Portia walks out of the scene and she's like, I'm not doing this, I've never even met Bleep. I'm not dating anybody, I'm not doing this, I'm not doing that, future, future, future. Now, how dare you? So she leaves and that's just another
Starting point is 00:37:56 Portia walking out scene and Drew just keeps talking over Portia and I don't know what's silly, but it was still fun to watch. Drew pretending she's Celine Dion, trying to get the property, made my week. It made my week early. I know. Not that she had any sort of singing gigs on the horizon,
Starting point is 00:38:14 and I also thought she finished recording her album. I'm not sure, so like, why are you... What is happening here that you need to save your vocal cords for? You're also going to Grenada, so... -♪ Comma shoes, here comes one right now. is happening here that you need to save your vocal cords for? You're also going to Grenada, so. Every big moment starts with a big dream. But what happens when that big dream turns out to be a big flop? From Wondry and Atwill Media, I'm Misha Brown, and this is the big flop.
Starting point is 00:38:47 Every week, comedians join me to chronicle the biggest flubs, fails, and blunders of all time, like Quibi. It's kind of like when you give yourself your own nickname and you try to get other people to do it. And the 2019 movie adaptation of Cats. Like, if I'm watching the dancing and I'm noticing the feet aren't touching the ground, there's something wrong with the movie.

Starting point is 00:39:32 So we see Britt and she's talking to Mimosa, still trying to make Mimosa happen. And she's like, I'm not leaving you Mimosa. You know, if you happen to see a case, we're going to go together. And then Shamiah's mom is over at her house, and she's like, don't forget to carry your Bible with you. It's always good to have your Bible, just in case. Don't forget, we're good people. We carry Bibles in our suitcases and some Salisbury steaks
Starting point is 00:39:57 in case we see poor people under a bridge. Ha-ha-ha-ha. Just in case. Ah, and Shamiah's like, you know what? You're right. Nothing like a good rebirth of Christ washing the sins away. Then we go to Ashley and I mean, Angela and Amari and they're in one of her houses that's not selling.
Starting point is 00:40:24 I feel so bad for her with these houses that aren't selling. Like every time we see one, she's like, I don't know why this isn't selling. We bought it for 300,000 and I'm selling it for $18 million. I mean, I just don't get it. Do you think that maybe I should get rid of the portal from portal to hell that's in the closet that took a little blonde girl?
Starting point is 00:40:44 It's like, mom, that's poltergeist. No, what happened here too? You need to stop letting your husband show those houses because you know he's just like, here's where we make Brussels sprouts. That's the whole house. Get the fuck out. I know. You deserve this house.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Get the fuck out of here. But it is refreshing. I think I've seen a lot of people online saying how refreshing it is that Angela is not, um, she's not hiding away from how much of that she's in because Amari, and just in general, she's like, refreshed, like, very honest about it, because Amari's like, well, Mom, what would be your overall, you know, average,
Starting point is 00:41:17 what would be your rating for this house so far? And most housewives would say, well, this is an A-plus property, right, America? Angela goes, it is an A plus property, right America? Angela goes, it's an F. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:29 The socks. So then we go over to Kelly's and she's packing and she's talking to her girls and she's like, mommy's going on a girls trip, girls. And they're like, mom, how long? Who's taking care of us? What are we doing? Where's Grenada? What's happening? And so their uncle's gonna take them to school.
Starting point is 00:41:50 And, um, Uncle Lamont. And then, uh, she's like, you can't have him take us to our first day of school. They're gonna think he's dad. BLAIR LAUGHS They're horrified by this. Um, so Uncle Lamont's not even their real uncle, just like a close friend.
Starting point is 00:42:06 And so Kelly has to go tell him like, okay, this is what it is because you gotta drop these kids off at this school. Then these kids off at the school and these kids off at this school. Um, I like Kelly. Uh, I'm, I'm going to have to, I'm going to have to politely request that if she gets another season that we sunset the storylines about her children. Just in general. Let's just let's a general note like more waffle less children. I just I do not care about how they get to school. It's not interesting or fascinating. I mean, I know that she's got a terrible custody battle going on or dealing with her ex and that's terrible, but it's
Starting point is 00:42:41 all off camera. So I'm just listening or talking about stuff that happens off camera all season long. And I do feel like she could be a really good housewife and she started the season really well, but they've just kind of like put her in this rut of like, here I am talking to my daughters again and her and all the daughters being like, really mom, I don't think I need this anymore. So let's, let's move on to the waffles. Let's focus on the waffles. Waffles. I want waffle drama. Yeah, I need to see what's happening
Starting point is 00:43:07 in the restaurant, what's going on with construction. Have you started hiring people? 100%. Yeah. The griddle, did the griddle break? The griddle, I need to know about the griddle. I need to see the remodel, because remember, didn't they go to like
Starting point is 00:43:19 an old pizza hut or something? And she's like, oh, I can't wait to use these old parmats on shakers as light bulbs or whatever she was gonna do. Like, I wanna see that. I will literally watch anything about The Waffle as long as I don't have to watch The Daughters. And they seem like lovely daughters. It's not a commentary on The Daughters,
Starting point is 00:43:36 it's just it's not interesting television to me. And shit, we do so much medical, medically impressive stuff these days that I say just start giving birth to waffles. Now, if you had a storyline about when you have to drop off the waffles at school. Yeah, Lamont and good as I, Sarah five in the morning to pick up waffles.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Get the waffles, waffle delivery, okay. That's how they'd get me to take the kids to school. Ronnie, you can eat this waffle once it's in the school driveway and just tape a waffle to the child's head. I'll be there. I'll be there. I heard that that song was originally about waffles. I'll be there.
Starting point is 00:44:22 That would also be a good Homeland theme song. I'll be there. Terrorism. The great terrorism song. I'll be there to protect you unless I'm radicalized. The entire song is like, I'll be there, but will I really be there? It's like... I don't know about it. I don't know about it. Radicalized anthem. So Uncle Lamont has news, guys.
Starting point is 00:44:50 He has FaceTimed the ex-husband. And she's like, excuse you? And he's like, yeah, you know, because I'm still friends with him, kinda. And I know it's gotten bitter through the divorce, but, you know, we had a good relationship, so I figured it's at least worth a call. And, you know, I said, you relationship, so I figured it's at least worth a call. And, um, you know, I said, you and Kelly should get back in a good place.
Starting point is 00:45:09 And he was like, no. And I said, but you should get in a back, good place for the kids. And he said, no. Like, well, the man's direct at least. Jeez. So in summary, a person who's not really on the show, FaceTime with someone who's completely not on the show,
Starting point is 00:45:25 and they talked about logistics about some children who are sometimes on the show, and he chose not to pick up those children. So, that was... And his only quote was Garcelle Bouvier's, -"No." -"No." -♪HUMS HAPPILY." -♪LAUGHS Can't we get along?
Starting point is 00:45:40 No. So, Kelly is understandably upset because it's like she has to do everything and along? No. So Kelly is understandably upset because it's like she has to do everything and it sucks to have this debt. And this guy's a piece of shit. I mean, he's a total piece of shit, like garbage person.
Starting point is 00:45:52 And I will not deny that. And I'm never gonna take this guy's side. But I'm just, I think I, you know, like, I don't know, like, what does Bravo want me to do? Watching some other person talk about talking about this person off camera, I'm like, there's gotta be, we gotta do something better than this. Kelly deserves better. She's more interesting than what they're giving her.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Yeah, my jury's still out on that one, I can't tell. I'm not a hater, but I'm still like, eh. Not, I'm not as into it. That's more waffles would change everything. Waffles, more waffles. Waffles are the magic here. Waffles are magic. So she cries because her ex-husband's a piece of shit.
Starting point is 00:46:31 So understandable. So then we go to the airport. It's the arriving. It's the arriving at the airport scene. And Portia's actually first, which is crazy. I think that's like a first in Real Housewives of Atlanta history, where Portia's been the first one to arrive somewhere.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Yeah, maybe they give her a different time or something like that. But yeah, they go there to that hellacious airport, I would like to add. And they all... It's huge. Oh my God. It's huge.
Starting point is 00:47:00 Huge and... And they fuck with you on purpose in Atlanta. They'll be like, okay, here's your gate. Here's where you're landing and see. So get to your flight in 10 minutes, 30 miles away and take 10 trains and stop at a wind beat. I'm like, ma'am, what kind of map is this? And they have a crazy shuttle.
Starting point is 00:47:17 They have a crazy shuttle between terminals. You know, you got to get in that little subway and as you're approaching the terminal, it's like, you're approaching terminal C. C is for chicken. Terminal C. Terminal B like biscuit. Terminal B. All right. Now make your way down to through terminal B. Take the train to terminal Z. That'll you turn into terminal two. We're just going to start numbering them now. Oh, what's up? sorry guys, Z is closed.
Starting point is 00:47:46 Z is closed. Please take a detour. Not gonna tell you what that detour is, but I don't know. Maybe you can walk around in a circle with your eyes closed and hope you get the game. Good luck. You are currently at Terminal B for Big Mac, and up next will be Term terminal M for McDLT.
Starting point is 00:48:05 And then we have terminal Q for quarter pounder with some cheese and then terminal F for filet-o-fish, terminal H for hamburger, terminal C again for cheeseburger, terminal H a happy meal. Ben's like, what? It's 11.30 and still light outside. Am I in Norway?
Starting point is 00:48:21 No, Ben, you're in the food court, Ben. Okay. You took the wrong left. I never got on the plane. It never gets dark in here. Just like Norway, the Subaru is still lit. It's remarkable how Norway looks just like LAX. It's like, Ben, you never got on the plane.
Starting point is 00:48:42 No, I'm pretty sure I flew somewhere. You're still at LAX. Okay, so Angela meets Phaedra for the first time, because Phaedra's back. Yes. So Angela seems like she's pretty nice to Phaedra. Phaedra would be wise to be nice to Angela. I think it's a very bad move to start shit with Angela.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Like, you need Angela on your side. She's a better age to be friends with, and she will rip these ladies apart with you. And you don't want to start truth bombs with Angela, because if you're trying not to talk about this candy shit, Angela, I think, will talk about it immediately. Like, I'm surprised she hasn't yet. Yeah. Yeah, because Angela's like,
Starting point is 00:49:24 this is my first time meeting Phaedra, and she seems like she's gonna be a lot of fun, and so I'm willing to put all the things I heard about her in the back of my mind just to get to know her for myself. But then Phaedra says, Angela's definitely the oldest looking young woman I've ever met. Hopefully her personality is more youthful than her face. I was like, wow, that was... That was Phaedra Parks. I mean, it was kind of her face. I was like, wow, that was a, Phaedra Parks,
Starting point is 00:49:46 I mean, it was kind of funny, but I was like, but I love Angela, so I don't know. I don't know, I think you're, what is it, you're hitching your ride to the wrong horse on this one. Yeah, I think so too, or hitching your horse to the wrong wagon or whatever. But yeah, I think she, I think of course
Starting point is 00:50:04 that was horrible to say, but I laughed. So I was glad. At this point, I'm just glad to laugh. So I'm still okay. I'm still... Feels good to laugh again. Feels good to laugh again, guys. So, Kelly's...
Starting point is 00:50:18 I love they, Drush. I love they, bae. So, you know, she's like, is she gonna revive a body on vacation? She's a funeral director. So funny. Thank you. Yeah, so that's why I appreciate Phaedra.
Starting point is 00:50:31 Cause you get like a Phaedra line and you're like, oh my God, that hurt. But it's also hilarious to a Kelly and then a Shamiah. And I'm like, okay, I gotta appreciate the Phaedra. Yeah, so Shamiah is saying, well, this lady wears a lot of hats. And if somebody needs to be bailed out of jail, she's gonna be there to do it.
Starting point is 00:50:47 And somebody needs to be framed for something, she'll be there to do it, okay? That was funny. That was funny. So, um, then we... Drew comes and she's like, I'm so excited to go to the beach. Some of the ladies here, I mean, I just don't want drama. I just want rejuvenation.
Starting point is 00:51:05 I can't wait for that seer. Someone close the basement door, please. Close the basement door. I thought those were her vocal cord warm up. Ginger. Ginger, turmeric, ginger, turmeric. You know, when I was in ninth grade, I was in sleep-white camp, and the... I was in, of course, like, the play, and the drama teacher said that to warm up, he was British, he was like,
Starting point is 00:51:37 to warm up your mouth, you have to say, red, red lorry, yellow lorry, red lorry, yellow lorry. And he said, he said that in America, it's normally red leather, yellow leather, but that in Britain, they go red lorry, yellow lorry, red lorry, yellow lorry. Red lorry, yellow lorry, red lorry, yellow... Yeah, I can't do those.
Starting point is 00:51:57 I think red leather, yellow leather is harder. I can't even do an ad read on this show. Half the time I'm... Kha-la-la. I'm a tongue tied person. My tongue's too big for that red Lori, yellow Lori shit. By the way, we should bring in Fran to do an ad because you know what Fran's a big fan of?
Starting point is 00:52:14 Quints. She was like, I got this at Quints. I was like, Fran, we're gonna hire you to do our ads. Yeah, hell yeah. We love some Quints over here, Fran. So they have arrived. They did it, they're in Grenada. They are now in Grenada.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Shamiah's just throwing stakes at people's heads. And Shamiah's luggage is gone. It did not get on the plane. And she's like, I hope the Bible's not in that one. Oh no. So somewhere back in Atlanta, there's a suitcase of mom outfits back there. I feel like Shemeah always...
Starting point is 00:52:51 She doesn't have mom outfits, do you think? Or Auntie, they're like very aunt. I don't know, I just feel like Shemeah used to look so youthful and now she dresses so matronly. Have you noticed that? It drives me nuts. Matronly, I mean, I don't know what kind of matronly people you're around,
Starting point is 00:53:07 but she was wearing jeans that were just kind of sewed together with a leather strap that went up her butt last week, I think. That's, but your mom doesn't wear that? Yeah. Maybe it's just the hair. Maybe it's just the hair. I assume everything's the hair. I just assume everything's made from late. Yeah, her clothes are gone.
Starting point is 00:53:27 Honestly, this whole cast right now could lose their suitcases, and I think I would be okay. They could bring in those two people from whatnot to wear. Just start with Kelly and work your way around. Yeah, that would be great. So, yeah, she doesn't have her bag, which does kind of suck, because you're on camera and you're excited about your looks
Starting point is 00:53:46 and then she's wearing her yellow airplane travel look and she's just stuck with it. But she's like, look, as long as I have my underwear, I'll be fine. I just don't want to have dirty, crusty underwear. Congratulations, you've reached the end of part one of a two-part recap.
