I gotta say that I was telling you right before we started that I've done many things, but this where I don't want to fuck it up because this is my one it's literally such my favorite podcast that I have nothing to do with and This is actually the podcast that got me into Bravo really before I watched Bravo I would walk through the room and my wife was laughing and I was like Oh, what is she laughing at and I was hoping it was something I had written, but no, it was you guys and we came and saw you guys live at one of your shows in New York.

And we just, I was immediately like, what these guys do is freaking special. Like it was so funny. And so I started listening to the podcast and then I started watching the shows so that I could get an extra layer from this podcast. And I went on a watch what happens. I actually told Andy, I was like,

I wasn't even into Bravo until Watch What Crappens came along and he was just like, yeah, I love what they do, so there you go. That's awesome, and you had a very special night because you got to be on the same night as Meredith Marks. And I'm so happy, not only did I get to meet Meredith, but Brooks was there, and we got to hang out with him in New York that night. We got to hang out with Brooks.

It was really fun and kind of surreal. Are you watching Next Gen New York City? Absolutely, and I think, yeah, it's just, Brooks is a star and I feel like there's a lot going on in that show. I just started watching it, but I'm loving it so far. Yeah, I'm really enjoying it too. Brooks is, I think Brooks is a revelation on that show

because I always thought Brooks was this, like, you know, fashion, city gay, who's just like over everything. Just like going to a fashion show. But it turns out he's like very, like, meek and sweet, and he just wants to be home and crochet and things like that. And that's like so lovely I love the the scene where he says you fired me Yeah, that was so funny because I feel like she was like kind of like on the verge of firing him the night

We were hanging out. Oh, yeah Yeah, that just means let's be something. She does. I think that she probably she's like Murphy Brown She just like you are fired. it's always the same secretary. I will say what I was on, watch what happened. She said something to the effect of, because I was on there to talk about Salt Lake, which is obviously surreal-ly good. But at some point I think I had mentioned

Beverly Hills at the time a couple of times, and she just, she turns to me during a commercial, she's like, what about my show? And I was like, oh Meredith, I have so much to say about your show. Why are you not talking about Salt Lake City? I brought my toddler here and you're not even down here. Max is getting ready to leave.

Yeah, that's, she came, Meredith was kind enough to come onto our show when we were in Utah a few years ago and she was great. She was so fun and Seth was there. We had no Brooks. We had Heather though. So that was a fun time. I can't wait for salt licks yet to come back. However, in the meantime, we have, I think probably the next best thing to really is

special, which is Miami. Yes. It is so good. And, uh, so much happened in this episode in particular because I will say that the whole fight between Julia and Gertie was really it was kind of getting me down. Yeah, I was definitely Like a team Gertie kind of person I felt like you know to see Kiki and the other ones sort of not understand where she was coming from was a little Bit I was just like are y'all not listening to this poor lady? Yeah, I thought that was wild.

The reason why I called upon you today for Miami, aside from the fact that you are wonderful, and by the way, thanks again for mentioning our podcast to Barack Obama, that was a real honor. That was, I'm pretty sure you, I'm just assuming you did. Oh, of course, it was the first thing out of my mouth. You're like,'re like hope more like crappies but

The reason why is you were also this is not your first time technically on the podcast because you've been a host I'm not even a guess or two times. Yes on the crappies and I mark my calendar. I love the crappies. The crappies are so much fun And if you're in that city, you have to drop everything. Thank you. It is so much fun. And it's not even just for who might show up. It's for the camaraderie you feel in that audience. Like we were all singing a way in a major Barlow voice at one point in the audience. Like it is, it is absolutely up there with BravoCon. I think.

Thank you. I mean, uh, it's, it's, I mean, it's the best. We love putting on that show. And because you do bring everyone together and everyone cheers. But the reason why I brought you on for Miami Day, because I'm gonna have subs all week, which should be very exciting. But I thought of you for Miami,

because three years ago, when we did it at the Will Turn, Miami won Best Show of the Year at the Crappies that year. And you were sitting in the front row. And I just remember opening up the envelope to announce like Best show of the year at the crappies that year. And you were sitting in the front row and I just remember opening up the envelope to announce like best show of the year and reading real housewives of Miami. And you fist pumped, you jumped from your seat and you punched the air and went, yes. There was an open bar. Miami is special. I freaking love Miami.

It has so many things going on in it that don't happen on any other show. Specifically, I love the fact that you have such a diverse cast. Like it hits so many different levels. And you have like Alexia, it seems like there's a rotating cast out of that last position.

You know, Dr. Nicole's gone, but now we have Stephanie like it's Never stopped being interesting. Yeah, they all they really like they understand the assignment like I feel like everyone understands the assignment It's not just the cast members. It's like production does Yes, I've meant to say like I feel like this is the show that changed the way all the housewife Yeah, it looks beautiful. Yeah, it's shop beautifully. It showcases the city. I really just love it. My one, like I'm going to give a quibble, which is that this episode, they were starting to do that thing where like a lot of like onscreen chyrons and silliness in terms of like goddess of this and that later on.

I don't like, I don't like when shows do that because we don't need the show to add a joke onto the joke. like the women are already funny enough so when they do that it's like you don't need to squeeze that lemon for extra news like there's so much light. Can I also say I'm a music guy I always notice music the other thing that they've got and I never thought I would be saying this but I think bring back Trixie Monaco I think because like now they're doing this sort of generic instrumental reggae tone as transitions And I kind of miss like Miami's hot hot the key will burn you like this all those dumb I know it's like it's like they were like doing AI generated lyrics before like my chat GPT came along It was like okay We knew a song about Miami and heat and the tropics and the beat or or You know plug in the words boss bitch,

my business, you know, watch me do like, I, it's weird because before AI was everywhere, I felt like there was AI generating these songs and now that we have AI, they're not doing any lyrics. It's very confusing. They're really slacking on the job. I'm never going to take over like the world, at least do a good job of it. Right. Um, by the way, I, I, people who don't know about one song is that you guys really, you take a song and you just like go in and you like to peel away layer by layer and analyze the shed of it, which of course begs an important question.

Is what are you going to do the one song treatment for Adriana song on fire? We absolutely, I think that you have pretty much just did the lyrics. That is absolutely. We need to do that. You know, the thing is, we'll probably need to find the the musical stems on our show. We don't just talk about the the the cultural context in which it was created, which on for her would be amazing. But we also have to find like the stems because we want to say, hey, here's the drum line. Here's the bass line. And then we talk about the legacy I don't know that fire's legacy has ever been explored on a podcast. It is definitely a gap in our repertoire

I'm sure we can find the garage band file for you and we will get those loops ready for your podcast as soon as possible I'm looking forward to it. I'm not gonna lie. I do wind up singing that song to myself a lot like way more But anyway, let's get into it. We've already bantered so much. This is a big episode for two reasons. So we didn't recap last week because we were off for July 4th. Oh wow.

And so this is our first time on the podcast talking about the taglines and also the new cast members. So this is instrumental. And for anyone who's watching with Crappin's On Demand, it may look very different. That's because since we're in person, we're using the the my in person camera setup. So if there's any wonkiness, I apologize. I had a time. I've literally never done this with crappens. I've done it with my board game stuff, but not this. So apologies ahead of time. But shall we get into the Miami taglines? Okay. So the first one is Alexia. Uh, and she says, well, I may be a Cuban doll, but I'm no one's toy. How do you feel? Is that, well, can I just say, I thought she was going to change this tagline, you know, because I think they had to change

it for like a copyright or something like that. Oh, Barbie Barbie. Yeah. I like, Oh, Mattel was like, you know what? This is too much. She doesn't represent the brands, which is weird because it means like somebody in Mattel is really watching the show. Like, I mean, like I thought she would change it, but now we've got the same one for the past two years. But you know, she is admittedly one of my favorite, you know, on the show.

Yeah, she's the one who actually wrote me in in the beginning. Yeah, she is actually great. And it's amazing because in the first three seasons of the show, she was not the central one. And now that they've like really centered her, she's one of my favorites of all time. of the show, she was not the central one. And now that they've like really centered her, she's just one of my favorites of all time.

Yeah, she does feel like the center of the show. Yes. Then we go to Larsa who says, it's hard to get on my bad side, because I don't have one like. Like honesty, if I'm being honest. Yeah, Larsa, man, I feel like she's another sort of, you can't replace her.

Like you need her on the show. I mean, and especially in this season, I feel like she's in rare form. She's in top form. Larsa, so she was on season one and then not season two, season three. She was so awful season one. Did you ever watch those original three seasons?

I've gone back and discovered that. She was wretched that first season. But like, you know, now, I mean, she's still, she hasn't, she's not not wretched, but she's like entertaining wretched now. She's such a good, and I'm calling her a villain, but really like she's the villain that you have to have on the show.

Like there's nothing better than, and granted we didn't know he was gonna die yet, but when they're in the car going to the Milan, she says your father is dying and you're here in Milan. Like, you know, like it's just like, that's the kind of, that's the kind of energy that I think we need on the show. And I actually love when Larsa drops her baby doll voice to get real, which is because normally she's like, I had a really good time today.

I'm in Milan. And she's like, well, and Lisa's like, well, my dad's dying. She's like, well, what are you doing here in Milan? And I love like this other voice comes out, like the real Lars. That's the real Lars. That's the real Lars. I mean, like, I almost don't recognize her when like that scene where she's with her mom or whatever,

but like when she comes out, she comes out. How much do we love Preston Pippen, by the way? I love that. Yeah, sure. He seems like a cool guy. I have to say, I have remarkably few opinions on present bit Chill dude who was identical to his dad. I gotta say the other thing I loved about that Milan episode was fabulous

Fabulous as the referee that was in judge fabulous by the way I would totally watch judge fan 100% fabulous settles an argument between two people We just met at a party every episode. I would love to watch that. Yeah good for him and fabulous He lives up to his name, but Larsa. What do you think about this line? It's hard to get on my bad side because I don't have one. I feel like it's it's it's fine. It's fine It's fine. I feel it could be a little better. Yeah, I mean especially for Larsa It's such a big personality you want something that like really screams out But you know what I do like about it is it's in its own way dishonest. Yes

It's definitely on character. Yeah, that's what I like about it. Then we have dirty who says I'm a fierce fighter and an even stronger survivor She got the words out. Yeah Gertie it's always like this push and pull No, I mean like look we're so happy that she's cancer free and I've really been following, I've been on her side for a lot of the struggles this season. Yeah, oh I think we're all on Team Gritty. Julia. Oh gosh.

My chicken coop is full and now so is my house. I don't. Not her glass of water. It's not full, not full anymore. Not full. Um, I thought, I thought we were going to go with some kind of goat reference, you know, like, you know, to raise goats, you've got to be the goat or just something. They're like something right there. I mean, chickens are not really her personality.

It's more like goats. I thought actually there might be, I thought like today, you know, I was, I was surprised that chickens got the tagline not to go and then today and today's episode as we see there's a very serious hurricane that comes through, which I love. I love that this hurricane in the middle of it. And, um, uh, she mentioned that she had to lock up all her chickens, the coop. And I was like, Oh, so this is why the tagline, cause the chickens are going to get loose and they're going to run away as if

you hold drama for her. But they didn't. I feel like with Julia, there's so many directions they could have gone. I'm not sure even that the you know, the end of it. And so and now so is my house. Okay, kind of. But you know, we haven't even seen these kids. I don't know. It seems like a big house. I feel like two children. It's like exactly. I don't know. Martina's not her hurting for space. Yeah Lisa I may not be prompt, but I'm worth the wait And our shady shady ass note-taker. I think this is a typo, but I love her

So she spelled wait w e I Hd a little bit of shade there. I think it was I think it was a typo, but it's a very funny typo nadine So we appreciate you know, Lisa Lisa's having a stand-up here, you know She finally got to briefly walk the runway that was the shortest walk I have ever seen Yeah, ever. Yeah, I was like did they did she like just cut it in half I feel like she didn't walk as far as you're supposed to she Maybe maybe she would maybe she missed the first half of her walk because she was late. I don't know by the way I'm not sure that Lisa Huxley is worth the wait when she says I'm I may not be prompt, but I'm worth the wait

I'm not sure two hours is a long time to validate Man, I mean like to that two hours seems intermobile. I don't know how they got those I mean that must have been part of sometimes I I don't know if I should even say this, but I'm gonna say it. Sometimes I feel like the producers have to know, like when Lisa and Larsa had the same car, that seemed like that was just to stir the pot a little bit.

And then maybe they gave Lisa the wrong time, because two hours is insane. So back in the early days of crap ins, Jill's Aaron came on to the show and she was like, you know what the producers do? They always put, they, they always make us run late. They always put us in cars and make us run late. So that way when we get the event, we're all agitated. And I always that's for 10 years that has stayed with me that that's actually

one of their sleep. They freaking they like, they're not late. It's just the producer's in the car's late and then everyone's annoyed and then they fight. And then they can't say, well, production was late. And by the way, it was suspicious. I knew somebody was gonna be late this season

when we first meet Stephanie and the first thing she says is there are a couple of things I don't like. I don't like people who are late. You're like, oh, this is the callback. Okay, I get it. She was like, I'm gonna set up my storyline for the producers so they know how to set the scene. I don't like when people are late. You're like, oh, this is the callback. Okay, I get it. She was like, I'm gonna set up my storyline for the producers so they know how to set the scene. I don't like when people are late.

I hate when people eat olives. It's like next episode, like olive party. No, that was, yeah, I feel like, sometimes I'm like, hmm, I see some foreshadowing happening here. And speaking of Stephanie, speaking of Stephanie, you wanna do Stephanie's line? You do it.

I don't just sell luxury. I live it. Okay. Like I feel like if you had a, a plug and play, uh, with a lot of Stephanie's just as initial, we've only known her for two episodes, essentially. Um, I feel like there's always St. Barts or Birkin bag or like some of these things are like sort of like real housewives staples, but there seems to be just as when she's talking about the gifts that she gave to her, uh, you know, sisters, she doesn't say, you know, SUV or car. She's like very specific Range Rover. Yes. You know, like there just seems to be just this extra level of like, I'm going to remind you that I know brands. I don't know. Yes. Um, I think that I read that as an endorsement. Like she's just so extra obnoxious.

I'm like, great, welcome. Welcome to the show. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappins commercial. Today is the worst day of Abby's life. The 17 year old cradles her newborn son in her arms. They all saw how much I loved him. They didn't have to take him from me.

Between 1945 and the early 1970s, families ship their pregnant teenage daughters to maternity homes and force them to secretly place their babies for adoption. In hidden corners across America, it's still happening. My parents had me locked up in the godparent home against my will. They worked with them to manipulate me and to steal my son away from me. The godparent home is the brainchild of controversial preacher Jerry Falwell, the father of the

modern evangelical right and the founder of Liberty University. Where powerful men, emboldened by their faith determine who gets to be a parent and who must give their child away.

I've gone from Harlem to Hollywood. But now it's all coming undone. for decades he was untouchable. But now it's all coming undone Sean combs the mogul as we know

it is over he will never be that person again even if he's found not guilty of these charges. I'm Jesse Weber host of law and crimes the rise and fall of Diddy the federal trial a front row seat to the biggest trial in entertainment history, sex trafficking racketeering prostitution allegations by federal prosecutors that span decades and witnesses were finally speaking out. The spotlight is harsher the stakes are higher and for did

there may be no second chances you can listen to the rise and fall of did he the federal trial exclusively with one 3 plus join one 3 plus in the one 3 app spotify or Apple podcast right now. I have to say we can talk about something because we have left already I think so far I am very enthusiastic. She's, she's totally obnoxious. She reminds me of like if Salma Hayek were like a minion, I was going to say this for later, but listen, I'm almost never team Lisa, but when team, when Lisa said, who are you boss baby? I was like, the editors cut to a very boss baby shot of 70. I lost it. So now you're saying the minions and the boss baby. When she said boss baby? I was like the editors cut to a very boss baby shot of 70. I lost it. So now you're saying the minions and the boss baby. When she said boss baby, I was like,

that's hilarious. But then just right now I was like, but I think it's actually maybe she's like a minion. I'm minion with like a little, like a little Bob. I don't know if it's a Bob or whatever flip or something. She just walks around and she has her like retro, like Jackie Onassis outfits. Oh my gosh. But you know, I think I hear you on that. I think this is going to be a character that we get to love. There are a couple of, did you get brought in by that? I didn't say, right. That's a lover. I just said that she's going to fit. I was getting Bronwyn vibes a little bit. That was the first thing I thought.

Really? Yeah. See, I think that like, anytime you hear, I haven't talked to this family member and I'm decade or something like that. And you're like, Oh, this is definitely gonna be a story. I can't wait for the internet to do its detecting. Oh yeah, everything's gonna come out. We're gonna find out that her whole group is bankrupt and it's just gonna all crumble for her. We see the trajectory already,

but I love that she comes in and she feels very comfortable, but she is obnoxious, like, oh my goodness, the way she was greeting people, I was like, oh God, she would wear me out in real life. But on the show, like, I'm like, I'm very happy about this, you know? And I, well, we'll get to what happened later today. And I really enjoyed how she handled herself today, but why don't we dive into, so the episode, so we open up with Alexia. Oh God,

what a funny scene to open up with. So Alexia arrives at a restaurant and she comes over and she meets this guy named Daniel, who is a self-help expert. He's just sitting there. And I'm already just like laughing at the idea of being a self-help expert. I was like, does that mean you're an expert at teaching self-help? Everything about her makes me laugh. I always tell my life, I'm like, she feels sort of like this, there's some kind of bird,

maybe it's like an ostrich, there's just something about her where her posture and everything just feels like, she's like, oh, oh, oh. And she carries her, when she has, she has a certain mood where she lifts her chin up high and she's very imperial. No, I just had this, I'm going to meet with self help experts. So she, and I like how she, she says that this, she's like, he's very young, but he's very wise.

And I'm like, he's a self help expert. Like you said, I'm like, I don't even, I had not quite heard of that before. Yeah. Yeah. I've heard of like motivational speaker, but like self help expert is, it almost sounds like he helps other people who do self-help to self-help the way he self-helps. Right. It's like, he's like, if you want to write a book about self-help, I will tell you how to do it. He's like a meta self-help person. But, um, yeah, she's like, yeah, he's so wise, you know? Um, and so they've met on, she says that they've met because she was on Instagram and we see the,

all these flashbacks, you know, about like, you know, Alexia's journey with Todd trying to get over her shit. And she's like, Oh, well, I came across Daniel on Instagram and he's like a life coach. So I just started liking his pictures. And I just felt like a lot of the messages he was posting really resonated with me and like what I was going through. So these are some of the memes that he has. Never try to defend yourself against a narcissist. They already know you're right. They just want you to go crazy trying to prove it. Oh, he's so wise. Wise beyond his years.

I just love that she's saying how wise he is. He has tenure at UCLA. He started some program in understanding narcissism. And it's just like he has very trite memes up about, you know, if you don't like yourself, then look in the other, the other way, something like that. Very generic. It's basically everything that gets forward. He's almost like a meme aggregator, but he like has half of it, the meme,

and the top half is like a picture of himself, which is sort of weird when they're always addressing narcissism. He's kind of like to self-help what Adriana's lyricist is to music. Like he's like, he's sort of like a predecessor to AI. I do love that song. I love it so much. It's so good. It's really good.

I also really appreciate the fact that they do this montage flashback to all the stuff that Alexa's been going through, and she's really been going through a lot. I mean, you really wanna look out for her. I mean, trust me, I am one of those people, I just don't understand why she thinks that Todd is good for her in any respect.

And you really just wanna kind of reach to the screen and be like, come on, dude. I have a theory. Yeah. I think that she does not want to fail at marriage three times, and I think that- That always comes up, right? She she does not want to fail at marriage three times. Yeah. And I think that-

That always comes up, right? She's like, I've already been divorced three times. Three times already. Totally. I'm in front of Frankie. And so, I think that there's a part of her that's like, maybe I can make this work because if I fail at marriage three times,

maybe I have a problem, which she doesn't necessarily have a problem. Maybe she chooses the wrong guys, but that doesn't mean that you're a problem, which she doesn't necessarily have a problem. Maybe she chooses the wrong guys, but doesn't mean that you're a she says, when she says, I'm still attracted to that fucking asshole. I was like, oh, is the dream of every fucking asshole who ever lived. Yeah. Some woman is like crying over him saying that she's still attracted to. And it's like Todd of all people.

I mean, it'd be one thing if it was like, I don't know if it's like Mauricio. Yeah. Or like even, even that, that random French guy who Adriana showed up with that guy kind of makes sense. Even Martina. Okay. Even who had the weirdest take of the entire season when Gertie came over and said hi to her and she just got to shook her head and smile. It was just a joker grin. That was so weird. I know that was, that was amazing. But yeah, Alexia is just like going through it. And so she was like, you know, I was listening to a lot of life coaches and a lot of them were women, women, but I guess with Daniel, it was just a different perspective because

like it was coming from a man. And so even though he was so young, he had so much wisdom, he had man wisdom. I don't know what, what about him being a man. And so even though he was so young, he had so much wisdom. He had man wisdom. I don't know what, what about him being a man? Yeah, that was weird. That was weird. You know, this is my, this is my personal issue with Alexa. Like I love the person who I see on the show and I'm like, Oh man, it'd be great to meet her in real life and be like best friends. But then I'm like, there's like a weird sort of like a derrushed, I say like a conservativism that probably comes from like her, you know, the part of the Cuban culture she sort of seems to cling tightest to,

but like, just like, yeah, the fact that he's a man meant something to her. And I was just like, she could probably take this advice from anybody. Yeah, I was like, maybe she's trying to like say, well, I understand, well, that's not even, she's saying from a man. She presaged it by saying something like, maybe she's trying to like say, well, I, I understand. Well, that's not even she's saying she, she, she, she, she, she, she presaged, uh, it would, by saying something like, you know, like, I went to all these like, you know, women coaches,

but then he seemed to really connect with me even though he was a man. And then, you know, like, and then she sort of went off from there. So in her defense, you know, that probably did mean something to her. She's on a real nurses, anti-narcissism kick this season, which I think is actually really funny. I mean, hey, I stand by it. Like, let's give her the narcissist. But I hate to say it, but it's a show that's built,

it's a network that's built on narcissism. I mean, she even kind of references it. They're all narcs as Marisol would say. You can launch an airplane there. The narcs are gonna get you. It's like, that's not nice. Can I say Marisol, I've been really happy with, uh, this season cause she let all the cocky jokes pretty much go that that stuff was

like coming across his grandma jokes. And I was just like, man, really do we have to make that joke every episode? Uh, I feel like she's been, uh, she's been a lot more real and I, and I'm really happy about her wedding. Yeah. I thought it was like when she said some of those sentiments about like, well, we're getting old and we need to look after each other. I was like, that was actually sweet. That was really touching.

Yeah, it was. It was touching. That was really touching. Apparently her brother can't get dressed up for the occasion. No. Literally just wearing a shirt with three buttons open. It's about as if he's like, I don't care. She had an eye patch on for some reason.

I don't even remember why. But let me tell you, I played a character with an eye patch on Sherman Showcase. don't remember why but let me tell you I played a character with an eye patch On Sherman showcase and it seems fun when you're writing it. Yeah, but I totally Yeah, I sympathize with her dude. You don't realize it's not like closing one eye There's something weird that happens when you're covering up that much of your face. You lose all depth perception. It's terrible. Yeah. Well You're a hero for getting through that So this guy Daniel's like well, you know what you do, you know, when you, when you meet people,

you do get that gut feeling and you have to listen to your gut. One flag will turn into 10 flags and by the 10th flag you've lost him. You are by the 20th flag. You do for the 10th flag. You tend to Lisa Hoxdeen. Did you really understand that by the 10th flag thing? I think I know the point he was trying to make, but it was such a weird way to make it. Yeah, I guess it's that you're, you're seeing so many flags. You're, you're now you've ignored so many flags that you've forgotten who you are. I guess you've just, you're past them off the slope into the abyss and you've

lost yourself completely. And she's like, oh yeah, oh well my head, my thoughts aren't aligned with my heart right now. Like my head is telling me, Alexia be careful, but my heart is so strong that it can kind of just like blank out my head, which I think is kind of a funny concept for Alexia. I hate to break some news to you, but I think the head may have been blanked out before.

So he's just like, you know, you think of yourself and you're still so susceptible to it to being on the receiving end of it. And that's why you need to be so self aware. And as you know, I've written three books now and coached over 350 people to being victims of narcissistic abuse as he winks to the camera and like a twinkle appears in his teeth. Yeah. I, you know, this guy, I always feel like there's just a certain group of people who

show up when you have a lot of money and they figured their way into your wallet. There's a little bit of that going on with Dan. This is the guy. So I thought in my mind, I'm like, okay, this is just a scene where Alexia has just gone through her narcissism thing and she's, you know, figuring it out and talking to some guy. Cause they always pick up these random strays on the show and have these like mojitos with them. But then the surprise of the scene is that she announces

to us that she's going to be having an anti narcissism party and it's going to be Greek. A Greek theme as one does. A toga party. As one does. We're always throwing those. Greek inspired. She's like, well, that's where narcissism began the Greeks Okay, that's where the word dark There were no narcissists in ancient Egypt Was humble barrel very humble Ability you build a pyramid was for the people that's why the first person who tried tzatziki just became instant narcissists That is so funny. I love I love that she's doing because this is why I love the show, that they're having an anti narcissism Greeks gods and goddess party.

It makes literally no sense, but we're going to do it anyway. And there's also going to be a hurricane too. Well, I will say that's probably a good time to say I did. I feel like I learned so much from this show about like safety. Yeah, I had no idea the coconuts were killing people in Miami. I had no idea is that I thought it was the frozen iguanas falling out of the trees. That's what I heard. Well, I'm also like, I guess between coconuts falling and lightning these are the worries that people in Miami have. I know this is this PSA is up there with I forget which which maybe there's a Alexa, but she was like, you know,

some people have that disease where eyeballs fall out of their head when they were talking about Jody. Did you remember that? Some people have that disease where their eyeballs fall out of their head. I was like, these are the PSAs. Other shows aren't willing to tell us about, cause I didn't know that was a disease. And what I'd like about Miami is I'm not sure if like I, they are PSAs, cause they are definitely our public service announcements I just don't know if they're actually I don't know. I don't know if anybody's fact-checked

I don't know that I believe coconuts kill more people. I'm gonna say coconut deaths per year I actually feel like I heard this that and I thought it was like a it was a lie. Okay Yes, it was on another Bravo shot that this came up the claim. This is brought to you by Adriana's lyricists, AKA Google AI, because that's the only thing that he's not writing songs. Yeah. The claim. We don't want grok to be writing songs that much. We thought Kanye was bad. Yeah. Grok's going for the throne. Yeah. Yeah. He wouldn't even talk about Lisa with that last name.

No, he wouldn't. It's like, I refuse. I'm as he's like, I refuse. He's like a baker in Colorado. So the claim that 150 people are killed annually by falling coconuts is widely considered a myth. Oh, see? While some deaths do occur. You can't trust anybody.

I mean, if Adriana isn't gonna be accurate about coconut deaths, who will be? But we now go to Lisa Hoxie's home, and she's like, well, I thought we now go to Lisa Huxley's home and she's like, well, I thought we dodged hurricane season. It's still category five, which by the way, I guess now is a good time to mention. We never really talked about this. I don't know why Ron and I do Lisa Huxley. Like, wow, talk like this, but it's fun.

But it captures something about her. Yeah, no, I, that's one thing I love about you guys is it's like you guys get down to the essence. I'm always blown away by the voices. So she's talking about how they've dodged hurricane season and Jodie, full of charisma as always says he, this time he actually, he's so excited. He parts his teeth by I think half a millimeter. Doesn't he seem like a guy who's like very, like doesn't want to be there?

Even when she sat down to talk about her father, like his body language was like, I was literally like, does he want to be in that room? It was very weird. I think he wants to be in a room with some better AC. I think that's it. That's all he needs. Is it all about the AC?

Just need some AC. So he's like, oh, I didn't see it going to be that bad. I mean, this place has a lot of windows. Well, hurricane insurance, you're supposed to have orange cane insurance, right? It's by law. Yeah. That hurricane insurance. He's like, yeah, don't worry.

That is not going to roll at all. But what about the hurricane insurance? Okay. All right. How about that new house that Lenny is building? So Lisa's telling us that Lenny is still building this house for her. This could be a shitty house, right? This is a house that's gonna fall apart. So Lisa's telling us that Lenny is still building this house for her. This could be a shitty house, right? This is a house that's gonna fall apart, right? Absolutely. Absolutely. I think we all first off, I don't know how many of us knew what MSA stood

for. That was that was new. That was a PSA about MSA. It's a PSA about MSA's marital settlement agreement. Yeah, this is a weird coupling. Cause I also, as much, I want to say, I think that Jodie truly does have her back in these times. Uh, but her brain still seems very Lenny focused in a hundred. Yeah, she's full Lenny. She got full Lenny on the mind. She has not moved on from Lenny. And, uh, but then when you see like her weird relationship with her father, you realize that she's kind of used to having,

you know, sort of like, sort of almost like an absence of the approval of the man she really wants. You know what I mean? Like, so it's kind of started with the father. And then yeah, of course. And now it's, it's, it's Lenny. I mean, pretty much like, I would say 75% of all real housewives are just grappling with issues from their father. I think that's just, it just goes back there. I hadn't really thought of it that way. I thought maybe parental, but you're kind of right. There's, there does seem to be this trend. I think it's going to be, yeah, I feel like they, I mean, I'm sure they have mom.

Whitney's Whitney's from Salt Lake. Whitney's dad is like in season one and then he really disappears around season two or three. Yeah. He'd like, and he like literally disappears around season two or three. Yeah, and he literally disappears. Yeah. Yeah, I think that they're all just trying to deal with their daddy issues in some way, and you know, God bless, man. If only they had an Australian self-help expert

to guide them along the way. That's all they need, man. They could have been so much happier. So Lisa's talking about her, like this MSA and everything, and then she's also like really mad because Larsa brought up Jodie at Marisol's wedding, and she's like, I feel like people take advantage of me, and then you came into my life, and that stopped,

and people are mad about it. People are mad that I've got somebody that has my back, and that's fucked up, that's what it is. Can I just say, like, I say, I think, and I always think Larsa's a bit of a villain, but I kind of agree with Larsa that it's weird if, it's not weird that they ran into Marcus at the restaurant. To me it is weird that they would take a selfie,

even if Marcus takes the selfie, why post it? You know what I mean? Like, why would Jodie post that? It's weird that Jodie posts that. Like, because Lisa didn't take a selfie. I think that is thirsty. That is.

And it's also like, why are you clout chasing with Marcus? Of all the people? Of all the Jordans. Of all the Jordans. When you could be clout chasing with an actual Pippin instead, you could probably clout chase with the Pippin if you play your cards right. Maybe I just think that it's, um, you know, I kind of understand where Lars is coming from that.

Of course she always presents, you know, she's an example of somebody who can be on the right side and presented in the worst way. Yeah. But you know, I think that, you know, yeah. Well, uh, so she is Lisa's just still like really mad at Larsa about this, this about like the fact that Larsa brought up Chody at the wedding and now she's got like a chip on her shoulder and she's gonna, you know, their feud is going to grow. So now we go over to Stephanie walking into a place called Shoma Bazaar.

You don't know what Shoma is. I mean, like, you know, if you go to Miami, you're going to visit Shoma Shoma. I mean, it's, it's like the MoMA acceptance. It's it's it's it's quiet. It's got one of these really tacky Shoma written all over the wall sort of thing. And I like how like stuff he went out of her way to say, Oh, you know, he started in the early eighties. I think before I was born, you know, like it's like, okay, you definitely preface eighties with early so that you could say that it's before you're born. And I'm so young. Yes, exactly. She's like, I'm pushing the fact that she's so young while she's dressing like she's from Batman.

From the 60s. So she's coming in, it's raining outside and she doesn't wanna get her Birkin wet and everything. And so she starts telling us. Just an excuse to mention her Birkin. Yep, just an excuse. Just in case you didn't see it. Yep, yep.

Oh my God, I might've gotten this Birkin wet. Don't wanna get the Birkin wet. Why'd you take it out? It was raining when you left the home. It was rainy. It was raining when you were walking from the car. Where's your JCPenney bag for the rainy days? That was extreme.

You have to have a rainy day bag, I assume. So she says this whole thing about how her husbands are the Shomo group and everything, and that they've built over 12,000 homes and condominiums and townhouses. Aren't the condominiums in Miami falling over anyway, I assume so I assume I actually meant to look up and see whether his was

collapsed but But hers is of course Shoma Bazaar, which is a restaurant sort of like bar type thing I know what it was. It almost looked like a we work in there It was like it wasn't clear it was it looked like her almost looked like a we work in there. It was like, it wasn't clear. It was, it looked like her manager was in trouble for last week's sales cause he was like, it's been much better this week. They delete with it. It's sort of actually not even a we work. It almost felt like one of those like capital one cafes that you see around. You know, I was like, what is this show? What bizarre credit card,

what are they doing in there? So, um, so they're there and I guarantee you, by the way, we are definitely going to start seeing lots of lawsuits against the Shoma group. Everything's gonna get dug up. It's all gonna come out. That vibe class action. Yes. You know, this happens. Someone fell down a staircase that we're going to, we're going to find out her husband has done some really crooked stuff. It's going to, it's all going to come out in the wash. It's gonna be great. I mean, it's first you just can't have a real estate

developer that doesn't have any sort of like skeletons, skeletons. They literally, I mean, we've seen poltergeist. They will literally build on skeletal skeletons. You may not have skeletons, but he does have apparently a big red statue of a naked woman with her legs crossed with an egg roll placed on a, it's insane.

I did, I completely missed that statue. Did you see that statue? That statue is nuts. Yeah, I love the, I always, I love the B roll they get sometimes. Sometimes you're just like, what the hell was that? Who was the person who put the one, the single egg roll on the statue?

Who put an egg roll on it? Why are they serving egg rolls the same place that you can get like a sandwich with a prosciutto on it? Listen, chartine take notice. Shoma Bazaar is changing the way we do things, changing the way lunch looks. So she's doing this thing where she's like, as president of the Shoma Group, I oversee almost every aspect of Shoma acquiring land, the hospitality division, the marketing, the

sales, the leasing, the employees, the egg rolls. I know exactly where they are at any given time. Get that roll off the statue. They are there. Who put the egg roll on the statue? We are shooting a scene here. So she's just once again, you know, announcing how important she is. So people come to meet her. So Larsa and Kiki show up and they sit down to have this prosciutto in the presence of the egg roll. This is going to actually really bother me now because they got like several like prosciutto on like a ciabatta bread. Yeah. I just don't understand why there was an egg roll. Yeah. There's sometimes I'm not saying we can't have sort of open format guiding,

but this is, this is too extreme. This has really taken global cuisine too far. I think. So Stephanie calls her mom and they speak Spanish and just say hello and everything. And then she starts saying like, Oh, my mom and dad called me a hundred times a day. They're like my best friends. I like to take them on my home and honeymoon, which everyone is like, did you take your parents or, or did Brittany take her parents on your honeymoon? Did that, that truly didn't happen. But I also think it's ridiculous. What a, I mean, I think once again, Lars is on the right side

of history, but then when she says like, you're supposed to be hanging from the chandelier, you're supposed to be having sex four or five or 10 times a day. Like she always reminds you of the crazy lies that she's told in previous seasons. I'm like, oh yeah, there was that time when she claimed she was having sex five times a day with Marcus. Yeah, precisely. And you know what's interesting? Stephanie is saying about how her parents call her like every single day,

like multiple times. I'm realizing now that she's in a way, I think maybe bragging to her twins through the TV. She's like her, her twin, her twin sister is so twisted. I even think of that. Yeah, I didn't know. I think anything of it because we didn't know about her, but she's basically saying like mom every day Yeah, you should talk to me because mom and dad love me. They call me like a million times a day. Yeah, I Think you're absolutely right. That's that's the familiar version of saying oh my Birkin's getting wet. Yes, she's telegraphic everything She's family family writing. So then kiki's talking, she talks about her dad.

She has, you know, she's growing in a relationship with her dad. She found that she has a little brother and everything. And it was just weird to me. I had no idea, you know, first off her dad, he's everything you would think. What can you even say about that man? Like, he was just like,

how did he say that he had a four year old? He was like, you know, he said something in the effect of she has, we have a four-year-old that I gave to her. Or something, it was like a weird way of saying. Actually, it's literally written right here, and she said, in the flashback, Kiki was like, oh, I thought you were with someone new, so you do have a couple?

And he goes, and he says, yeah, she got one little boy for me. From me, that was, she got one little boy for me? From me. That was, she got a little boy from me. Like he did the work. Yeah. It was so bizarre. It was like, he said, Hey, when you go to the store, can you pick me up a liter of like Diet Coke? Yeah. She got that for me. Yeah. She got that for me. Yeah. That was crazy. Um, so, you know, they're talking about parents and Stephanie's like every day that goes by as one less day that we have on earth. I mean, time is ticking. I'm no one to talk because I was inseparable with my twin sisters.

I have twin sisters, by the way. Unfortunately, I did what I shouldn't have done, which is well, they say don't work with family and they got a job at the Shoma group and it just didn't end well because they are shit workers. We've said that on camera anyway. Now we haven't spoken in three years, probably because they've been getting fired left and right from every job they've had ever since. So I mean, again, this, this is one of those stories that I think we're going to find out the other side of the story. Yeah. Cause I was just like, wow, that's,

that's really lame of her sisters. And I was like, Ooh, I bet you those sisters have another story to tell a hundred percent they do. And she says how she, I'm a really giving person, which is hilarious. Cause by the way, you haven't given anything so far and you've been on an app, you've been on for one episode in ten minutes and I haven't seen you give anything yeah you know and she's like I mean I gave him a Range Rover and I gave one of them a Mini Cooper and I was like oh so they were like that's a shame isn't that like a little bit of a disparity giving one person a Range

Rover horse it's like you need all the space and you need nothing. I feel like that's she was trying to drive a wedge between the twins. Literally drive a wedge. She's Manichaean. She's Machiavellian. She's definitely trying to take over something. I like when she's talking about like, oh, I have to speak to 80 men sometimes. You know, like I have to be the boss.

Yeah. You know, it's that's I talk like this because I talk to men all the time. Always goes back to talking to men. Yeah, you know, it's that's I talk like this because I talk to men all the time Always goes back to talking a bit. Yeah, exactly. So she just talking about how yeah, I talked to a man That's how I talk. That's how I deal. I'm I'm I'm a boss bitch She's like that's what I really wanted, you know Trixie to come in with like I'm a boss boss bitch, you know Yeah, I've been a perfect segue and she she's, and the, they started talking about, um, Julia's baby shower, which by the way, I thought Julia and Stephanie were not going to get along because remember last week when Stephanie came in and remember, remember when Julia came in and they said, Oh,

Stephanie doesn't like children. And then Julia had a look on her face like, but I have two children and I have my good children. Uh, yeah, I thought that wasn't going to work out either, but that I have my grandchildren. Yeah, I thought that wasn't gonna work out either, but that wasn't the play. Yeah. They had other issues that were gonna pop up. She's dead, actually. Julia actually recruited her to be sitting

to sit next to her at the baby shower, much to Adriana's chagrin. Yeah, that was interesting. I remember that. Also, the baby shower was just funny in general because Julia talking about like, I guess Martina not expecting to know what happens at a baby shower

and she's gonna have such a skewed view of what happens at baby showers. Some of those things that Adriana came up with, I've never seen any baby shower ever. The weirdest thing about that baby shower for me that I could not get over was how it was just the cast. So it was probably like eight. I think it was like the seven or eight people on the cast. Plus there were two randos sitting in the corner and Adriana had a microphone in her hand the entire time. Like she was talking to it like a giant room. I was like, I was like, why do you have

a microphone? They're driving me nuts. I was like, you're this, this is not a, this is not a microphone. And then when Alexia tries to say something and then they go back and forth and I was actually surprised they called out the bridesmaids of it all. It was like, this is so producer. Yeah, this is so produced a hundred percent. So now, so what's her face? Stephanie starts to complain about Lisa a little bit. She starts to say how, you know, like she's like, well, a lot of the girls gave me like

a really warm welcome, although I already know who's gonna like me and who's not gonna like me. And we see this flashback to Lisa last week. Which was crazy. That was a crazy flashback from Lisa. I mean, like, she just had to be really drunk to even say that kind of stuff, wasn't she? I think so.

I think it's a combination of drunkenness and like just her base level stupidity. That is crazy. I wanna be friends with people who have jets and yachts. I just can't imagine somebody saying that if you're just not completely trash, but I think you're right. I think that's who she is. So normally I would think that's like a super tacky and obnoxious thing to say. I do. And I do think that I also feel like on this show,

like it's weird that she gets villainized for that by Stephanie. Stephanie, who has come on and bragged about how she gave a Range Rover and a mini Cooper and she has this and that and everything and everyone brags about all the items that they have and they and she has her Birkin bag and then someone so like she clearly you know like like luxury items are her love language and she literally says it is her tagline and then Lisa's's like, okay, I'm going to talk about luxury. Like, like this, I'm going to speak your love. Like, that's a bridge too far. Yeah. She's like, no, no, you can't. You actually said that you, you're thirsty for my yacht and I need, I need me to want you to come to my, on my yacht or something like that. So she's basically Stephanie's totally turned off by what she sees as like a probably like a

Social climate superficial thing from from Lisa She she sees superficiality in somebody not in the mirror and it really turns her off. Yeah She's not happy about it whatsoever But it's also like it is a stupid thing for for Lisa to say and also just shows her true It was just really weird. I mean, I want to be friends with her It actually made me think that maybe she wasn't addressing, maybe the editors made it look like she was saying it towards Stephanie, but like Stephanie wasn't there, because it's just a weird sentence.

Yeah. You know? But I mean, I don't know why I'm defending Lisa on this. I can also see like tongue and cheek, it's like, I can sort of see it landing tongue and cheek. Yeah, maybe if the timing were a little different, it could come across as kind of funny and ironic, but that's not how it came across. Still probably wouldn't say it.

Still probably wouldn't say it, yeah. So, you know, and then Larsa, of course, piles on. Larsa's so happy. Also, by the way, Stephanie came to us through Larsa, so I think that Stephanie has come on as a ally of Larsa to go against Lisa. But by the way, I always feel like the person you bring on the show inevitably becomes your enemy.

Always. I mean always. Like you know, didn't Rinna bring. It's like everyone. Did you bring Denise on technically? Denise, yeah, it just happens time and time again. It's always Bronwyn and Lisa. Totally.

At some point you're like, okay they're on the show, okay great, here come the jabs. I feel like right now though, I think that for some reason, I feel like Stephanie's just going to stay on Lisa's neck. I think it's just like for sure easy prey. Yeah. And she really, I think she's going to be able to like, just, I think she's going to thrash Lisa around all season long. Definitely the season. And it'll be funny.

Cause we love, we love to see it. We love to see it. I think Lisa probably doesn't need some allies at some point. We'll get into that once we get to that a splinter van situation. Yeah, I think, yeah, I don't think she has any allies. She has Jody. So, um, now we go to Marisol and she's like, you know, getting ready for the hurricane. So Steve, Steve brings home like a lantern. Oh, thanks boo bear. Thanks for the, like a lantern. Oh, thanks boo bear Thanks for the for the lantern Whoa, we're gonna gotta get ready for this hurricane. Gotta get some cocky's ready in case we lose the right She did say cut you can say cocky's in the seat. I'll give her that it's a wills in the testimonial

yeah, and then Julia is like if the rain is coming down like this reminded me of the And Julia is like, the rain is coming down. Like this reminded me of the episode of Golden Girls where, do you remember this? There was like a, they had like a, it was Saturday night at NBC. I think they had like a hurricane that spanned from Golden Girls into Empty Nest. Oh, that's hilarious.

I used to love those kind of crossovers. Me too, those were the best. It was like a whole night event where like every episode had like some sort of thing. Empty Nest was such a good show. It was like a whole night event for like every episode had like some sort of thing You do this with such a good show Forgotten sitcom and I totally forgotten I met Rod and I mentioned it quite a bit on this show We mentioned dry fists and Diana Manoff right fairly frequently, but that is as that is there. It's really underrated It's a sitcom that there's certain sitcoms that fall to the cracks and never really shine in syndication there

Well, I think it was a hit then but I feel like if you ask anybody, you know, no one knows anybody under the age of 40 about it, they're never going to know. It's not going to be on a hip T shirt. You're not going to dry this on a T shirt and people will be like, Oh yeah. Like there's, it has no research. I think like that and mr. Belvedere, uh, dear John, I remember being your John rates. I love, I love that theme song. Dear John. I can see the whole thing by the time you read this letter. I'll be gone. We do have that in common. We do love classic sitcoms. We really do.

Yeah. There's your, there's your next podcast. Now I'm not going to, I'm not going to, I'm not going to stand on a soapbox for nurses. I felt like nurses with the not quite really. I think I know nurses. It was the spin off of empty nest. It was bad. I think I went to two was not quite really. I think I know nurses. It was the spin off of empty nest.

It was bad. I think I went to two seven to amen. That was a great combo. That was a great Saturday nights at NBC between two to seven. Amen. Golden girls and emptiness or facts of life, depending on what, you know, what year it was. That was just such a great, great schedule lineup. It was the, it was basically the real house was a Miami of scheduling for sure.

Golden girls was like Alexia and Oh gosh, meaning that whole we didn't want to go down. So the star of the lineup. Yeah. Yeah. I could see that. I thought you were going to say like, okay, so who's Alexia is that Blanche? Like I thought you were going to go down. No, no, no, no. I'm just saying like, I'm getting real meta that like if, if golden girls were a Casper, if the Saturday night at the Thursday night,

a Saturday night lineup on NBC where real housewives of Miami, I think Alexia is golden girls. Larsa is maybe empty nest. I thought Julia's emptiness in a weird way. Really? Even with all those chickens? Okay. Yeah, that's true. Maybe not. You might be, maybe Julie, do you remember that show? Julie's perfect strangers to me.

She's sort of the weirdest. She's the Brunson Pinschel. She really is. If perfect strangers migrated to Saturday nights on, there was a time when Matt About You was on Saturday nights on. Oh wow, is that true? It was weird.

It was a weird time. Okay, getting back to this. So basically so basically, uh, Julia's like, she's locking up her chickens and everything and, uh, Gertie is, you know, you're just walking around and she's like, guys, this is the day one of the storm and the wind is winning. Look at this. It's already starting. Oh my God. I'm going to get a fight. It's hurricane. And then Adriana, this is where we find out Adrian is PSAA. She is, this is, she is having such a creepy scene here because she's like, it gets, this reminds me of RIP Brittany. What's her face in that

movie like, I'll never tell. Is it called I'll never tell? No, it's not. It was that first. She was just saying that. And I just feel like that's what Adriana was doing to the coconuts. She was just like staring at them as like, I'll never tell. No, it's not. It was that where she was just saying that. And I just feel like that's what Adriana was doing to the coconuts. She was just like staring at them as like, I'll never tell. Cause she's like saying how the coconuts are going to, she's like, funny fact, more people die from coconuts every year than bullets. It's like, she's looked at like charts of like all the ways you can die. And she's just like, this one comes in right between

Like lightning and like getting hit by Kawasaki jet ski. Yes Yeah, she says more deaths caused by coconuts falling on people's heads there and there are lightning striking people I don't know what sort of anti coconut lobby started this rumor, but I don't appreciate it. It might be the coconut lobby that they want to you they want you to donate their coconuts to Harvest those coconut. Yeah, where they kill you don't want them on the trees folks get them down. We'll take them Hurricane sees is coming up. It's a coconut drive The high school auditorium absolutely, so we see the hurricane comes through and everything it's wild. And it's, it's kind of this interesting interlude because in some ways they

didn't even have to show that there was a hurricane, right? Like they could have just skipped the whole hurricane. I don't think it was very impactful on anything. No, not at all. And I think they just need, you know, sometimes these shows, they, they're like, okay, guys, we need three minutes. We need three minutes or something. I think as it was. And there's so many time jumps this season. Like, you know, you watch that first episode,

it was like two weeks later, five months later, a week later, like there's been so many jumps. They're really all over the place. They're really all over. Like, I think in scene one of episode one, people still are married. People still have husbands. By, you know, the end of the episode, nobody's married.

Exactly. So I, I, I don't feel like we needed the hurricane, but I'm glad we had it. I felt like it was, it added stakes to an episode. That was a little, a little, a little bit of a laser episode. It was just like, okay, we have a hurricane and then the hurricane passes. Now it's like one day after the hurricane and Marisol is like walking around. She was like surveying it and she tells us, this cracked me up when she said this. She goes, wow, I'm so happy that the hurricane

passed right over us. I mean, I knew it was gonna happen. I manifested it. My manifestations have been on point. So you're welcome, Miami, because Marisol manifested the hurricane passing by, no one was hit. I mean, can you manifest more often than becomes the question? Probably, I just love it you manifest more often? Becomes the question.

I just love it. It was like, it was her manifestation. She saved the day. She stopped the hurricane with her manifestations. So unsung hero of Miami on this episode. I always thought like you use manifestation to like manifests, I don't know, love in your life. Yeah.

Or happiness in your career, something like that. No, apparently for some people it's just like, you know, bloodless, bloodless hurricane. Yeah, just like a logical. No coconuts. Yeah, no falling coconuts. That's actually the most important thing. Thank you.

So now Alexi and Gertie meet up at a cafe. And you know, this is the first time since both the hurricane and the wedding. And so they say their hellos and everything and Gritty's like, you know, with the group right now, I just feel so misunderstood and I don't understand. I don't understand what's happening. So I have this little bit of time to reflect more on what's happened since Marisol's wedding party. And I've been thinking a lot about a lot of different things. And like, I just feel so helpless at the point

where I just don't feel like I'm being heard at this group. And like, I just feel like I'm saying so many things that I'm wondering about so many things that like no one does understand. Like, do people understand that like there were coconuts in the sky. I could have died I we all could have died Russell almost died because there was a coconut nearby Like I think people can hear you dirty, but I but for real It is weird people are not like I think it was so terrible What happened to Gertie you at like Julia was terrible that night at the wedding? I mean like in the fact that like they were like well now you've got to leave

You know like I thought I thought I thought the whole thing was very bizarre. Yeah I mean, like in the fact that like they were like, well, now you've got to leave, you know, like I thought, I thought, I thought the whole thing was very bizarre. Yeah. Um, and a little, and a little microaggressiony I have to say, right? Kind of. Yeah, very much so. Yeah. Very much. So I mean like, uh, you know, people online sort of agree. They were just like, you know, like the Julia just morph into like the worst kind of Karen, you know? Yeah. I just don't know where that came from. Did she say like, okay, like, you know, I'm on the chopping block for the show or something like that. So I've got to like go be extra because this is all about like a zoom call and some sort

of you fall off of zoom. Like, I saw the number drop out and I, so I knew that she was like, shit happens on zoom all the time. Like, you know, not everyone. And it's a zoom about announcing a adoption. I just If it was not important enough, whatever it's I understand why like congrats can come across this cold Cuz you know, especially since it's the prompt now. Yeah, yeah, I quit phones But just the idea that like, you know, oh by the way She did something that I think was absolutely aggressive, which was she told her, oh, you'll see it in the news, like because

she dropped off, she couldn't tell her she couldn't just text her like it's it's we're announced that, you know, we've got the twins, you know, like, come on, guys. Yeah, it's, it's all ridiculous. And the fact that she went up like throwing water at her. So like, it's wild. So Gertie is saying like, she's like, you know what? I texted everybody about the New York stock exchange thing and everyone's like, we're all Googling about the baby shower. But like, her big thing is that she rang the bell. Gertie just looks really happy to take pictures. Like all the pictures of her on the, on the

cruise, on the, on the controversial cruise, like, you know, she likes to take pictures. She likes to, you know, announce that likes to announce that she's doing stuff. But it is also kind of funny, and just a meta way how she's like, I was ringing the bell at the New York Stock Exchange and nobody came out to support me. Drop everything. I wonder if she said NYSE in the text message

that instead of New York Stock Exchange, I'm going to the nice or whatever. I hadn't even thought about that. Maybe they just were like, we don't understand what this means. I'm ringing the bell in the text message that like, instead of like New York stock change, like I'm going to the nice or whatever. I hadn't even thought of that. Maybe, maybe they just were like, we don't understand what this means. I'm ringing the bell at the nice. Like, is this like a new, is this like new slang? Is this Well, we've already established that some of them don't know

the word clandestine. So I don't know that we know that they would know where to go. She's like, hey, I'm ringing the bell at nice. Don't do it in front of Frankie. So, so she's like really upset because she's like, no, I did this cool thing. I went to the stock exchange, Gertie went to the stock exchange and no one even said congratulations. It's just like invisible. It's like, I just feel like I'm speaking. It's like not even reciprocated. Like what is even

happening? You know, it's like my opinion is my opinion. Like, you know, you told you a lot of the time and like you get all the time and everyone has ups and downs, but like, how come when you can yell it, but I can't get it, or whatever, and Alexa's just shaking her head like, like I'm allowed to yell, I'm the star. Yeah, no, seriously, and I felt like, I thought she was gonna, you know, usually when people get together at their lunch, they take the side of the person

that they're at the lunch with. Right. But this was sort of surprising, because Alexa was just like, you've gotta do some certain stuff. Yeah. You know, it was almost like a continuation of, of people not hearing her,

but it did seem to come from a place of genuine friendship this time. And yeah, I think what Gertie's biggest problem is that I think she's often on the right side, but when she gets activated, she just starts talking and like no one, like she doesn't hear other people and then no one, people just stop. They disengage from trying to like communicate with her.

So then she always kind of like loses because of it. At the Pilates place, I think it was the Pilates place. Yeah, she was just like, sometimes Gertie's gonna Gertie. But you know what, I sort of feel like, don't dim Gertie's light. Don't, no. Just let Gertie Gertie. Yeah, let Gertie Gertie.

Let Gertie Gert. And so Gertie's just going on about this. And she's like, I just going on about this and she said, I just think that everybody has to take accountability in the sense that their own actions and Alexia finally finds a hook in to change it and make it about herself. Ironically. Cause she's like, Oh yeah, people not taking accountability. That's the traits of narcissism. She just, I think someone said her like the word of the day and it was like

narcissist. She's just, she read the etymology. She knows it's a noun. Like, you know, like, I feel like she just went to town on this word and she's like ready. And she's like, you know, I feel like a lot of having my Greek party. Yeah. By the way, I'm having a Greek party about narcissism. I'm like, you realize you just made it about you, but you're talking about an anti-narcissism party, but you made it about you in the process, pulling away from Grootie. But yeah, she's basically like, yeah, you guys have to move forward so that way you can come to this anti-narcissism party. Hello there.
