I had to include a 13th and 14th gay of Christmas this year because once I knew there was gonna be a housewives of the North Pole movie, there was
Starting point is 00:01:53 no way I couldn't talk about it with some very special real housewives loving gays. So I hope you enjoy this little stocking stuff or Merry Christmas, your shitter is full. Hello and welcome to the 12 Gays of Christmas where it's not just the mistletoe that's hung for all to see. I am Dame Brian Moilan and today I am here with podcasters, housewife impersonators, Ronnie Caram, and Ben Meddelker from Watch With Crappens.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Ronnie, Mary Christmas. Well, thank you, Mary Christmas to you. Happy War on Christmas. And Ben, Mary War on Christmas to you too. Thank you so much. You know, even though I am actually a US, I am happy to celebrate this holiday with all of my Goyum friends, including Kyle Richards. Are either of you Christmas people? Well, I was when I was a kid because I'm very greedy. Like, I love gifts. I love eating. Like, I like the food.
Starting point is 00:03:02 As an adult, it kind of sex because I I'm single, like I'm always single. So it's like a lot of buying presents for people, and then you get their shitty little gift, and then they're like, well, sorry, it was a shitty gift, but we have children. And it's like, okay, so it's probably to seem a little unfair. But yeah, for the most part, I like it. Yeah, I mean, I get into the spirit of it.
Starting point is 00:03:21 I get into the spirit of it. Even though I'm Jewish, I enjoy, you know, partaking in the holiday. I take, I partake in the perks, like, I don't really buy anyone Christmas gifts, which I really should reexamine because I'm always like, well, I grew up not like buying Christmas gifts. So it's not part of like my DNA, but I probably should buy gifts for people. But I get into like the cookies and I'm really into Christmas music, but really Christmas music from like 1995 and earlier because I'm really into Christmas music, but really Christmas music from 1995 and earlier, because I'm finding that post-95 Christmas music
Starting point is 00:03:49 is all kind of like variations of Michael Bubley and I'm not into that. Is there any Christmas music that you, like what do you have a favorite song? Do you have a favorite artist? What are you thinking? Well, I mean, obviously all I want for Christmas is you is like the best effort,
Starting point is 00:04:05 right? So I'm just going to take that out of the running because it's just too cliche. Oh, 95. Oh, post 95. There's nothing. There's been no good Christmas music after 95. Nothing. Well, I'm just saying that all I want for Christmas is you is. Oh, it is. Oh, thank you. Okay. Well, then pre 95, I have an outside or choice, which is that I love the song by The Waitresses, which all of a sudden I'm blanking in its name. Chris is rapping with the W. It's rapping. It tells a story, a great story, and that is my hard core number two favorite Christmas song of all time. How do you feel about the gay who puts on all I want for Chris's is you at the gay bar in July?
Starting point is 00:04:41 I mean, isn't he always there? He's the same guy who he's the same guy who plays like Sheik Saylavi and then everybody screams, you know, I feel like I feel like we all know that guy, but he's really nice, but we secretly, you know, talk shit about him every time we press his play. The first time we'd love it, but then, you know, I feel like 10 years ago, we would have loved it, but I feel like there has actually been a whole sort of culture that has built up around that song in the past 10 years. So now it's kind of like, it's kind of basic to do that. But then again, I don't oppose it.
Starting point is 00:05:14 I don't oppose it. I like miserable Christmas songs. Like, well, I want for Christmas's you is just so happy. I like, you know, last Christmas, I gave you my heart the very next day, you threw it away. Like I like that. Top five. I like, you know, last Christmas, I gave you my heart the very next day, you threw it away. I like that. Top five.
Starting point is 00:05:27 For classic Christmas's, I really enjoy white Christmas. Like, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, but I'm in a foxhole and will probably die. Like, I'm into that kind of, that kind of way of really depressing. Just like real life. I like that kind of, I'm an Adele person.
Starting point is 00:05:41 So like, I love somebody who's just sad. Or someone who takes the sort of takes the magic out and replaces it with cold longing, like the Arithmic's version of Winter Wonderland, it's just like this very cold emotional version that I love. I have on my Christmas mix tape in Annie Lennox' version of God Rest You, Mary Judselman, and it's like crazy and I
Starting point is 00:06:05 wish and I like writing it down so I can get that my favorite Christmas song is Karen Carpenter's Mary Christmas Starlings you know about the song and it's like her just like her man is it there and she's like the lights on my tree I wish you could could see, I wish it every day. And it's like all depressing in 70s, and you can just see her starving alone in her living room. What's her heart? Oh, yeah, that's my kind of vibe for Christmas. I really like being sad, but I do also really like the Destiny's Childs Christmas from a long time ago. I feel like that deserves some kind of special mention because that is pretty amazing and that's happy, you know, but that's
Starting point is 00:06:48 like that's as happy as I'll get. I have a free Apple download back when the iTunes store used to get free downloads. I do have one of Annie Lennox singing Noelle and it's like Annie Lennox in her late-stage career where she has realized that all she wants to do is just kind of like grown out notes. So it's very much like no. It's like this lot, it's like a dirge. But then of course she puts the whimsical little looting notes in the back. I'm going no, no, it's just kind of like a disaster. But because it's anilatics, of course I love it. What do we think of Luan's Christmas song?
Starting point is 00:07:26 What do I want for Christmas? What do I want for Christmas? What is it gonna be? I think it's like, you know, I think it really taps into that person who loves karaoke, you know, like you love going to karaoke and you just don't care that everybody sucks. You know, it's like it's Christmas and it's okay if you suck. So I think it kind of brings us all joy because it reminds us of an office party.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Yeah, I think that's a really good way to put it. What do you think of it? I can't even listen to it and I, the countess has some bangers. We all know she can't sing, but she's a V is a great song. Why do you call it a great song? This, not amazing. I mean, even Girl Code is better than this song. It actually is.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Girl Code is actually not so bad. I've sort of like revisited it. And it's like, it's pretty good. This one's not great. I don't know if I love this partnership with Billy Stritch in terms of the songwriting. Also, there's like that weird tone, that weird moment towards the end where she's like, what do I want for Christmas?
Starting point is 00:08:31 World peace and love and unity and a person, jewelry and all the jewelry things and I think I'm like, okay. Just wants all the material things. And trips and shoes and bags and down hedges, just you. Do you have a favorite housewife song since we're talking about music? You know speaking of like ballad-y type things, they don't really have ballads, right? There aren't that many ballads. I mean, I think Danielle had kind of like ballad-y type things they don't really have ballads right there aren't that many ballads I mean I think Danielle had kind of a ballad Um, I really like just when I'm home alone singing. I really like doing a ballad version of on display
Starting point is 00:09:14 I mean that song believe it or not really lends itself to a ballad and I love I love it I think it all the time in my house. So I have to say that one to a ballad and I love it. I think it all the time in my house. So I have to say that one. On display is my favorite song and can I bother you for a few bars of on display as a ballad? No, I'm not gonna can't just us up,
Starting point is 00:09:36 but nobody needs to hear that. It's like one of the dog, the poor dog. I can't think you menage you into doing it. No, no, no. Ronnie, it's a flat face. Chris Bassett. I will say. Chris Bassett will run in here and take us there.
Starting point is 00:09:50 I don't sing because I can. I just sing because I like to. So I think, I don't know if this counts. If we're being a purist about housewives, then I actually think sheaks say lovey maybe my favorite, but if we're going to sort of like open it up to the entire Bravo universe, I mean, I think Goodas Gold is kind of amazing. I like Goodas Gold is just like, it is a banger, it deserves to actually have radio airplay.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I think actually almost of all of Bravo songs, that is the one that should be on the radio and it fills me with joy. But Sheaksay love you does too. And, and you know, on display is, has aged very well. I think it sounded bad at the time, but I think it was just ahead of its time. I feel like Lou Ann's next cabaret show should just be all housewife songs. I would be into it. I think that her next song, that's my next song. That's my next. That's my next.
Starting point is 00:10:41 That's a great idea. I'm going to steal that. I mean, look, Candace has offered up a very strong entry with Drive Back. I think that's actually a very, very good song. So like that's already at the top of the pack as well. You can say a lot of things about Candace. Yes, Dillard, but you can't say that she can't sing. Yeah, I mean, Drive Back actually maybe that actually may technically be the best one. And by the way Let's never forget the one that started them all party for the party. I mean, that's a classic Candy Burst is a great songwriter and what was her song that she sang when she was on tour with a fly above great song Also, you know something that really I don't even think this ever got made
Starting point is 00:11:22 But you remember the brain doesn't mean the thing. I was just about to say that. Oh. Whoa, whoa, whoa, the ring didn't mean a thing to me. Why didn't that ever get made? I think that was good. Well, that was a troll song. I mean, let's not forget.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Candy was like, fine, you're not going to give me any residuals. I'm going to make a song that's going to be so hard for you to sing that you will not survive this song. And it was such a difficult sort of terrible song. And yet to this day, the moment someone says the word ring, I always, and this is not an exaggeration. I always think to myself, the ring did it mean nothing. I have a soft spot in my heart for Google me. Click these keys and Google me the follow up. Sorry, these are the first. We search me, you'll find me. We try, try, try, try. We try, try, try, try.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Click the victim keys and Google. We try, try, try, try. That one looks like coffee and sex or whatever Ashley says. That's what that's here for me. Coffee and sex is the worst one. Coffee and sex or whatever Ashley says that's what my god it's here for me Coffee and sex is the worst one Yeah, copy and love sorry I'm in van kempins You make me feel mighty real or whatever his song was that was pretty bad
Starting point is 00:12:36 That was a load of points and so many of these just have the visuals to you know like the coffee and love You've got Michael Darby like having sex like I never want to ever see that in my head again I don't want to hear anything to do with it and then Simon van Kempen and his red pants and then his stories of like You know climaxing all over his wife as she gave birth I will never forget that and I never ever need to hear that song again or really see him ever again or really hear anything about Well, we are not here today to talk about Housewives music. We are here to talk about a very special Housewives movie, which is called The Housewives of the North Pole, which is airing now on Peacock. What did you gentlemen think of Housewives? This is a North Pole starring Kyle Richards and for some reason Betsy Brandt, who was on me for an Emmy. And we're breaking bad.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Oh well not for this. For this, you know, not for this. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, I get you. Yeah. Well, I thought it was, you know, it was obviously bad, but considering this genre of movies that are aggressively, almost intentionally bad, I haven't seen a huge amount, but I've seen Marvel, I've seen Mariahs, we watched Holiday last year, which was actually not this kind of genre, but we thought it would be, and various others.
Starting point is 00:14:00 I thought it was better than most I've seen, given that it was still a base level of terrible. This was a pile of heaping crap. I cannot believe you. This was terrible. I've watched so many hallmark movies with my mother. She loves them. Every year I would come home to Texas and she sit there with you know, and we're both very cynical people. So to have the hallmark there, like that's what breaks her of anything or these hallmarked movies. So I thought this was gonna be a hallmarked movie. So to see that it was peacock, which I think peacock is doing a great job
Starting point is 00:14:33 in general of putting out quality content. The Real Housewives girls' trip is fantastic. Amazing. But then this, it's like, why are you struggling? So this hard to be as bad as hallmark. Your peacock. Make a good, Chris. It's like it was a theme.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Like, let's make a shitty Home Mark movie, you know, felt on purpose. Yeah, well, you are exactly correct. And I watched it. My parents were in London for Thanksgiving and they are huge Home Mark Christmas movie fans and they have never seen an episode of Housewives Ever. And so I was like, we're gonna watch Housewives of the North Pole and we watched it and they have never seen an episode of Housewives Ever. And so I was like, we're gonna watch Housewives
Starting point is 00:15:05 of the North Pole and we watched it and they were like, this is good for a Hallmark movie. So I agree with Ben in that there is a base level of badness but of that badness. It's like floating on the top of the bottom of the barrel. If that's like, yeah, it's just like a hard poop versus diarrhea, not to get to, I know Ronnie hates that, but that's kind of like what we're talking about here.
Starting point is 00:15:31 And I will say that I thought, there were sort of like two main stories going on. There was the story between Kyle Richards and Betsy Brandt and then there are kids. And I actually thought like the little rivalry going on was like flimsy, but somewhat engaging. The problem was actually the kid storyline was so dreadful and dull and boring. And I'm like, why are we watching these children? We are here for the housewives
Starting point is 00:15:55 of the North Pole. And that's a good drag. People as a housewife, like, unless this kid is being played by Shane Kio. I have no interest in seeing him shirtless making out as someone's garage, which I did enjoy, which I did a Christmas decorated garage, by the way. Yes, and zero chemistry, like they really didn't even seem to be into each other, which is weird because they're both cute, you know, like you can at least act like you want a bone. But it had all the hallmark typical storylines, like the Temple Storylines, like you've got the evil corporation
Starting point is 00:16:29 that's taking over this town. And then they have to learn to resist the evil corporation. Of course, everybody in this movie is evil and gay. The evil people are of course, like of course it's Alec Mapa playing like the evil gay who's trying to ruin Christmas. And then you've got like the obnoxious gays who are just trying to steal free food from the art place.
Starting point is 00:16:49 But then- Yes, I noticed that, the obnoxious gays. Yeah, and then you have the out of town stranger. I didn't notice that, but you're right. All the gays are assholes. Yeah. You have the out of town stranger that changes the lonely person's life around
Starting point is 00:17:01 and makes him realize what Christmas is about. Ah! So had all that. Yeah, well, it's no mistake. So the movie was that it's such, there's, it's no mistake that it's such a hallmark movie. It was directed by this guy named Ron Oliver, whose IMDb photo makes him look like a bald Charles Nelson Riley. Oh, no. It also looks kind of like when milk did RuPaul
Starting point is 00:17:26 on RuPaul's Drag Race on the film. But that's what this guy looks like. And he's directed like every Hallmark Chris's movie, including one of my personal favorites, a Christmas train, co-starring Joan Cusack. Oh, I'm not such a star. Unless that star in Kelly Dawn, I have no interest. Right. And so and it was written by Neil Tippy and spider spider.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Yes, spider. Yes, with a Y Dubrovsky. Dubrovsky. Yeah, I saw a whole bunch of Dubrovsky's in the credits. I was like, oh, this is a Dubrovsky joint. I know it's like, isn't a Cole, isn't a Christmas movie writing collective? They have like dozens of these shitty
Starting point is 00:18:09 hallmark Christmas movies to their resume. Like, I don't know what sort of weird to Browse be spider factory they live in, but you do one and you're stuck forever, right? It's like everything else in life. You do one thing right, and you have to do it the rest of your life. It's like that.
Starting point is 00:18:24 My friend writes these. Poor guy from Breaking Bad, who has to be evil in life. You do one thing right and you have to do it the rest of your life. So I friend writes these poor guy from Breaking Bad who has to be evil in everything. This guy Ron Oliver, so I looked him up, wow, your description was so accurate. He looks like a Christmas ornament with big square glasses like that fashion lady, that old fashion lady. Yes. Yeah, the old lady lady. Yes. He looks like Uncle Jr. like before the sopranos. He looks like a gay Uncle Jr. Okay. What he looks like. That's what. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:54 He looks like he just came from Antique. Girl, I think she is the ad King. I have to say this Brian, before we even get beyond the title card of this movie, the thing that cracked me up that was so bizarre is that in all the marketing promos and in the movie itself, it says, the real housewives of the North Pole and the real housewives is in Jurassic Park font.
Starting point is 00:19:19 And I'm like, why are we having Jurassic Park font? It's like, it's really actually technically between Jurassic Park and Star Wars, but the point remains. I mean, some of our ladies are getting up there, and also they are kind of monsters. So I mean, it's not unfitting, but it's a fair point. Well, and then they changed it at the last minute to housewives of the North Pole. No real.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Did they really? Yeah. So the official title is Housewives of the North Pole. Right. Which features only two housewives, notably. Meaning. Well, yeah, there were some things about it. You think of it as a group.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Yeah, there's some things about it that just aren't housewives. So they shouldn't have called it the house. I mean, I get why they would do it. It's like one of their properties. Well, you know, I get it. But first of all, what housewife decorates their own house for Christmas? Nobody, they hire people to decorate their house.
Starting point is 00:20:12 You think Kyle decorates her damn house? No, yeah, Glenn with the fat burger truck. Where's Glenn and Fay? Well, I haven't we seen Glenn. We didn't see Glenn all that season. Like, did Glenn get COVID or something? Where is Glenn? I'm a little concerned that he got COVID.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Yeah, I'm gonna put what happened to Glenn. I just love the internet, you know? I feel like such an old lady. I'm all the Smolage in my finger. We have questions. What happened to Glenn from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? Okay, carry on, I'll do this in the background. This was a movie that I was expecting there to be several women
Starting point is 00:20:47 with Kyle Richards and Betsy Brent at the lead and it would be like a pack of ladies and it would turn into a classic Real Housewives in Brolio. But it really wasn't that at all and it reminds me of like that classic thing where someone comes up like Kyle Richards probably pitched this to peacock and then they just assigned people never watch Bravo to it. Yes, it was definitely a title in search of a movie where someone's like we should do Real Housewives of the North Pole and make it a movie, Chris's movie, but then it was really funny research. Yeah, about really the universe they're going into. While Ronnie is going down a Glen rabbit hole bend, will you walk us through the plot of Real Housewives,
Starting point is 00:21:32 Housewives of the North Pole? I'm gonna need everyone to listen carefully because it's very intricate. So we are in a town, I believe a fictional town called North Pole that's in Vermont, which is actually not close to North Pole at all, but you know, we'll allow it. They declared they did not research at Vermont either. So we're in this town at North Pole that has some relationships of reindeer, which are also not found in Vermont. And basically you have
Starting point is 00:22:00 Kyle Richards and Betsy Brandt. Kyle's name is, what's Kyle's name? Betsy Brandt is Diane and Kyle is... Trish. Trish and Diane. Trish and Diane. Oh gosh, wow. So Trish and Diane, which, I mean, if they weren't both named Karen, they might as well be named Trish and Diane. So Kyle Richards is essentially playing like the true version of herself. Like this is true Kyle Richards, finally getting to be unleashed. Okay, and they are best, they're best friends. They've been best friends for years. Their children have grown up together
Starting point is 00:22:32 and the children hate each, absolutely hate each other. Kyle Richard's daughter grows up to be a 38 year old lovely lady and the other one goes up to be a 21 year old man. So anyway, so they are best friends in every year. They put together a holiday display because there is an annual Christmas display competition. And whoever wins gets something, not sure what, but it's a gold reindeer because she has like 11 of them on her
Starting point is 00:23:06 Manage like a gold reindeer trophy. They're from home goods because I have those they keep up the stock There are no home goods in North Pole Vermont. So this is really their only way to access those chotchkes or as they like to call it on this movie Hummus bad So essentially they have every year they put together the best display in the in the in the town, but this year there are simmering tensions that come from a game night that goes awry when it turns out that caught. So Kyle Richards famously does not do game nights well, whether it's at Dana the Pam does whether it's on Cynthia Bailey's night on girl strip or whether it's here in North
Starting point is 00:23:45 Pole. She always messes it up and sure enough she cheats and it creates a scandal that drives a wedge between these women and threatens to ruin Christmas, which is all the more complicated by the fact that a reporter has come to town from a publication called American Life that now is seeking to exploit the tensions in the town. Yeah, because American Life is run by the gay guy who hates American Life. I mean, the whole thing is a... It's against us. The whole thing is against us.
Starting point is 00:24:16 So this guy hates American Life and he's sick of feel good story, so he just wants something click baby for every business. He's also the best part of the entire movie, by the way. Yeah, he's the best part. He's funny. Oh,'s also the best part of the entire movie by the way. Alex Mapa. He's funny. He's the best part of everything he's there. And I mean, I can't believe they got Alec Mapa. Like he was like, fine, I'll do this.
Starting point is 00:24:34 We all have rent to pay. We all have rent to pay. So then, Sky, the 28 year old daughter, and Jake, the very handsome for my money shirtless son of Betsy brand Fall in love and then it's like capulets in the monogues and Yeah, and then at the in the end everything they realize that they've gone too far things have things have gone a rye Like Trish makes this Declaration that she's just gonna move out of town because things just get so bad and then when it all or things have gone awry. Like Trish makes this declaration
Starting point is 00:25:05 that she's just gonna move out of town because things just get so bad. And then when it all winds up being splashed across Alec Mapa's super gay anti-American website, they realize they've gone too far. And they come together and then their kids come come together. And it all is a happy, happy ending. And the reindeer do come back to town where they are not at all native.
Starting point is 00:25:29 Yeah, enjoy the shit all over your streets by the way. They've got like how many 12 reindeer walking down the street, you know, nobody's there with a bag. And of course, a hot guy who's just like in love with Betsy Brant for whatever reason. You know, it's one of those movies where it's like, I guess it's kind of like real life where you're single at Christmas and then you just look at the first person that walks in the door that's also single
Starting point is 00:25:53 and you're like, oh my God, we have so much in common. Oh my God. Hey. Well, it was so bad. It's like, this guy shows up in Diana's art gallery, which first of all, I don't know if you've ever seen the What's Your Number movie with Anna Ferris, but in the movie, she's a sculptor and she makes these sculptures and she goes at the end of the movie, she finds fulfillment by quitting
Starting point is 00:26:17 her job and opening a store that sells these shitty sculptures. And I saw it with my husband on one of our first dates and what cinched it, what made me fall in love with him was when she opens the store he leaned over to me and goes, nobody wants to buy those. And like that is how I feel about Diana's paintings. Is there like all these shitty Christmas paintings? It's like reindeer in them. It's weird. It's weird and obsessive and there are things that even if my nieces came to me with those, I'd be like, oh my God, so you're studying to be a doctor or like, I would never say go be an artist, never in a million years.
Starting point is 00:26:52 It's like these Holly hobby paintings. And remember those commercials when you were, when you were kids on TV, that was like, come down to like, to this place to the, whatever arena or civic center because it's a starving artist sale. And it just is like really shitty art. And it's like they found a bunch of that art and then they painted these like Disney reindeer on them. So there's like reindeer sort of like imposed on this art very strangely as an entire gallery full of it. And her whole thing is that she just loves painting reindeer and she hasn't seen the reindeer. So she hasn't found her muse. And then she has, for some reason, has really bothered me just from like a film production
Starting point is 00:27:29 standpoint. She has like an office area that's like up these stairs with such a claustrophobically low ceiling. Like you guys are a movie production. Why could you not find some plays with a higher ceiling? Oh, so that's ceiling. Now that you mentioned it, what really pissed me off is the popcorn ce.O. This is like, that's C.O. Now that you mentioned it, what really pissed me off is the popcorn C.O.
Starting point is 00:27:48 I was like, it's popcorn. And was it Betsy Brant being like, I need her to be more real. Like she's an artist. I want her to have low C.O. links with popcorn on them. Like it needs to be popcorn. No one's gonna buy me in this role, you know?
Starting point is 00:27:59 Betsy Brant was going method with the like HGTV before shot like Like hardest studio. They just told Betsy to do what they want. The son was like, too tall to stand in that space. Yes. Yes. They had all the footage they have of Betsy, like doing lines off the reindeer in the back or whatever.
Starting point is 00:28:18 They're like, all right, Betsy, we're going to make this a story about a woman addicted to drugs who is the only person with a popcorn ceiling in this fancy town, okay? Did anyone anticipate so diet, nutrition, Diane are like now competing to have the best display because traditionally they always did it together but now they're competing and at one point like Betsy has a snowman and she snaps the ear off of it. Did anyone else be like, oh god, it's gonna be Vincent Van Snow. It's gonna be Vincent Van Snow and then she snaps the ear off of it. Did anyone else be like, oh God, it's gonna be Vincent Van Snow. It's gonna be Vincent Van Snow.
Starting point is 00:28:47 And then like the next scene, it's Vincent Van Snow. Did anyone else anticipate that? Because I was so proud of myself. Proud of yourself? Yep. A hundred percent. I was like, oh God, she's gonna like. That's gonna be, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Cause she's an artist. And yeah. I saw it coming much like listening to Simon Van Kempen. It was very much the same kind of knowing what was coming as it were. Oh God, literally. Would you rather make out with the hot sun or the hot reindeer guy? Renderer. Oh, sun far.
Starting point is 00:29:24 A hundred percent. I mean, the sun is, there's no question deer. Oh, sun far. Oh, sun far. I mean, the sun is, there's no question about the sun, you know, and I mean. The sun looks like Jessica Tandy, I'm sorry. Well, you know, another hotty, okay? I'm down for that. I'm down for that too, Jessica. See you up there.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Are we talking like street cart name desire? Jessica Tandy or like cocoon Jessica Tandy? I don't even care, I'll do all of it. The full range. Even do a Tandy computer. I'm glad your gentlemen don't need to compete over the boys. That is nice for me to hear.
Starting point is 00:29:59 I mean, it's a hard choice. It's a hard choice. I don't know what you were talking about. I thought the guy who came to town was just so, ugh, he was so cheesy and like, ooh, I'm from up to town. I follow reindeer around for a living. It's like you're creepy.
Starting point is 00:30:13 Get out of here with your bad wig and you're weird smile. Get out of here. It's a Cyprian. Cyprian, no, wanna be. Get out of here. He is very eddy Cyprian looking. Which is by the way, that's like a compliment. He's on like an NCIS or like one of those.
Starting point is 00:30:27 I looked him up, not that I was looking for sure. It was pictures. I looked him up too, and I saw the pictures as well. I thought the sun was, I thought he was very blah. And I did not like that he's strong Christmas lights up on his like weightlifting bench. I thought, it's like you're a little deranged, sir. Well, I mean, he's just like obviously hot,
Starting point is 00:30:44 you know what I mean? So I, yes, of course, he picked him because he's like legitimately the cutest because he's like 20 or whatever. So it's not fair. It's like, hey, do you want cookies or cookies? Like I want cookies. You can give me the fucking cookies. But he's also super judgy.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Okay, because so he has this relationship. Well, he, it's a, though he and the, on the girl, uh, it's sky and I forgot what he's, Jake, well, he, it's the, he and the, on the girl, us, it's sky and I forgot what he's, this is guy and Jake. So they start, like, they start falling in love over the course of, like, literally five or six days, we know this because every single day leading up to Christmas is marked by college, returning a little block. And so we know this love affair, like, it gets to a point where they're saying that they love each other. And then at one point, Trish, she needs like a blitzin's, she needs like a little reindeer
Starting point is 00:31:28 blitzin that becomes an issue. So she sends sky to the store. There's like this Christmas store. She sends sky to the store to get a blitzin reindeer. And so Jake is there. And sky is like, I have to find, I have to find a blitzin for my mom because, oh, you're turning just into your mother. I was like, excuse me, Jake,
Starting point is 00:31:46 you need to settle down a little bit. Okay, she's just picking up some shit for her mom. Yeah, these two are way too close to be dating. Like, there's way too much history between these two for their relationship to go well. And they also both seem like they're not at good places in their life for opposite reasons. Yes. Like, he can't find a job and she's like burnt out are not at good places in their life for opposite reasons.
Starting point is 00:32:05 He can't find a job and she's burnt out on studying too hard. Yeah, but they're a good couple because they're just so boring. And I feel like boring people really make it in the world. I learned that as a waiter. I've told that to many times. The happiest people are the people who have nothing to say
Starting point is 00:32:23 at dinner. They just sit there and swipe through their phones and they come back year after year, happiest hell, you know. And I feel like that's these two. They're just super boring and the last forever. Oh my god, when they went ice skating, seriously, fuck this town, by the way. This is the worst town ever. I don't know if this is supposed to just not make people want to move to Vermont ever, but how do you ice skate? And I mean, it was like a two space parking area. You know? Yes, my father was like, that's not an ice skating rink. It's an ice skating postage stamp.
Starting point is 00:32:53 And I was like, he has to read from Mr. Moiland. I mean, agree. That's true. That's when I decided I wanted to marry your father when he leaned over inside that community. So what did you think of Kyle Richards acting ability? I actually thought she was pretty good. I thought like, you know, I mean, she's not, listen,
Starting point is 00:33:14 she's no moral streak, she's no anything streak. But I actually thought she was pretty good and I think she actually got into the character because at a time she was Kyle, like, she was like, there was a moment where she was doing some crazy flash mob thing and she was like doing this dance. And I was like, I believe that Kyle Richards would do this.
Starting point is 00:33:32 I believe Kyle Richards would show up at someone's gallery and do a crazy dance and take all the people out of it. You know, the way she got to, oh, there were some very Kyle Richards moments that she just really nailed. For instance, Sky's Day's Over with Jake one night and she's like, oh my god, I've got to sneak in. Otherwise, I get in trouble.
Starting point is 00:33:50 When she sneaks back in, Kyle is like, where were you? And she's like, I was, I was, and like Kyle just doesn't even pay attention. She just, she starts prowling on about herself. I was like, that was so Kyle and she really made me realize that it was Kyle. I was surprised her acting was so bad because she's been an actor for so long. I thought she was terrible, but she did have good parts where she was very Kyle like. Like when she got mad or said something bitchy, those were very good lines. I thought good delivery.
Starting point is 00:34:17 And also she kept adding her weird laugh in there like her. Like the Kyle laugh got in there. And I thought that was very real because it was real, you know, it was like her. Like the like the Kyle laugh got in there and I thought that was very real because it was real, you know, it was like her laugh, but especially not next to Betsy. Yeah, well, Betsy was, I mean, Betsy really brought it. I love when they first meet the reporter and she walks away and Trisha Diner standing there together and Kyle says, her handbag, Fake Fendi and Betsy goes, how do you know? She goes, because I have a real one. You see that purse? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Fake Fendi. How can you do? Because I have a real one. It's actually very de-re-kemstly, but it was also very kind of rich. And you know that like Trish goes down to Boston, because that's like the closest city, and she like gets a Fendi, and then she comes back.
Starting point is 00:35:04 She's like, hi ladies, yeah, got a Fendi because I went to a city. Yeah. I've been to a city. Also it got super weird because at first her character was one thing and then when it got to that line and she was bitchy about someone's purse, I was like, well, she became evil
Starting point is 00:35:19 because at the beginning she was, yes, she was like a nice person and a good friend and then all of a sudden, she was like that. And I guess they had to get their real housewives attitude in there. But I was like, is she nice or not? I mean, to know, I can't have this on the fence. I just want to say that Kyle also had a line that was so, that just like summed up Kyle Richards so much.
Starting point is 00:35:39 She, in the middle of the feud, she's like venting about this issue. She's having with Diana. She was, she accused me of being pushy and demanding, but I thought she'd like those things about me. I was like, that is so Kyle Richards. That is so Kyle Richards, master producer of all real housewives. Yes. I'm not terrible at just that.
Starting point is 00:36:00 I was catering to your needs. What do you think are the most housewives moments in a stereotypically housewives moments in the movie? The Fendi part was probably the most truly housewives moment. And you know, I mean, there's something to be said about Kyle trying to steal that blitzing thing from the nice old lady, although that's more of the stereotype
Starting point is 00:36:22 of what people think the real housewives is all about. That was funny, I like that. And then they, when they had the that's more of the stereotype of what people think the real housewives is all about. That was funny. I like that. And then they, when they had the fight in front of the Christmas tree, and Kyle was really going for all the low blows, you know, she said, yes, like Betsy said something like, your tree is fake and she said, big like the boobs on your ex-husband's new wife. And then you know, the throw of the drink in the face was obviously kind of stereotypical, but it seems like they put a couple of those moments
Starting point is 00:36:47 into like a regular movie to call it housewives. I need like sex women scheming about like, I don't know, how to take down Santa or. Okay, these are the moments that I thought were the most real housewives of you. Because I agree with you, everyone always thinks of housewives and thinks of like throwing drinks
Starting point is 00:37:05 and so when they start this big fight, Trish shows a drink on Diana. But I mean, other than, there's actually, there's actually been very little drink throwing on the house. Camero judge maybe, but yeah, it's not like that. Yeah. Yeah, so, but these are things that seemed really
Starting point is 00:37:21 housewifey to me, which is when Jake and Skye bring their mothers together to reconcile without telling either of them and that it goes horribly. That's like very real housewives, like attritionless. Yeah, the whole I accept your apology. And she's like, I never apologized. Yeah, that's very housewives. So housewives, that is also housewives.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Also, Ben, you mentioned this earlier, Kyle Richards, Trish, whatever, goes out in front of Diana's gallery with Carolers to get the customers to go away. And it was very Kenya more here. It was, yeah, that was. It was, yeah. But the most Housewife thing about this movie
Starting point is 00:38:06 is that Trish is living on credit and actually has no money. That is the most housewife thing that is happening, intentional or otherwise. Yeah, exactly. That was like a, it was a low key thing. They would sort of like touch on that and I was sort of like not paying attention.
Starting point is 00:38:22 But then like when it culminates with her just yelling at Betsy Branch, I'm leaving, I'm selling my house. Oh, it's like, that also had like a weird house to have to think because there's something sort of like showy about it, very performative. Like, like look at me, I'm gonna like upgrade to a better house, right?
Starting point is 00:38:39 No, she was saying, I'm gonna, because she couldn't afford her house and she was just, she was making her husband take all these extra jobs. No, I, I, I know why she was doing it, but I'm saying I can imagine her sort of saying in a way that she wants people to think that she's gonna get a mansion in like Montpellier. Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, she was, she was gonna be moving, she was gonna be moving down. And that, um, that husband storyline, I thought was very housewives too, like the husband who just can't be there for Christmas,
Starting point is 00:39:06 sorry babe. And then you see her talking on FaceTime with him and you just know that there's some hooker, you know, in the bed next to him. I was like, what's going on here? It's very, very, very, very, but the guy looks like Mauricio and her daughter in this looks like Alexia, right?
Starting point is 00:39:24 Not Alexia. Well, and then Portia is in it. Portia is in it. And Alexia, right? Not Alexia. And then Portia is in it. Portia is in it. Yeah. Portia is definitely Portia. She's a terrorizing girl scout. Yeah. Also, I like their random accents that they would get
Starting point is 00:39:38 because Kyle's name was like Trish Rivera. And so she sent a couple of words that were kind of ethnic or whatever. So she'd be like, oh really? You like the water or whatever she would do that thing. Like Kyle has an accent for two words. And then her daughter would do it too. And the husband would do it too. It's only like two or three words in the whole movie. But I was like, where'd that come from? Oh, that's right. She's a revet. I also liked moments where the writers didn't quite realize really what they were saying, because at one point, when, at one point, like a Santa Claus,
Starting point is 00:40:11 there was a snowball at, like, Kyle, I believe, and someone yells out, she just got pegged by Santa. I'm like, you might want to rethink that phrase. I just got pegged by Santa. I think that they knew, because they replayed it 10 times. I just got picked by Santa! I think that they knew because they replayed it 10 times in a row. They're like, now this person watches that clip of saying peg by Santa.
Starting point is 00:40:35 And now a person on the other side of the crowd is watching that clip saying peg by Santa. So what did you think of the housewives cameos in the movie other than Porsche? They were fantastic and I wanted more of them. I was I was was such a delightful Like it was four of them right and I have to say Sonia was great. It was so wonderful seeing Karen But I have to say Lisa Barlow was a surprise to me because you know Salt Lake City is newer and Lisa Barlow, you know, I feel like if you were going to go to Salt Lake City for a cameo, you would think of just the Heather Gay. So the fact that it was like Lisa Barlow, and she had the longest one I felt like,
Starting point is 00:41:14 because she was like, wow, can't believe it. They're in a feud. This is going to cost a lot of money to come down or whatever she said. I was like, this is great. No half of that was just her ad libbing. And they were like, just keep it. We need to add a couple of minutes on. Yeah, but right, because Lisa Barlow like couldn't sand script. I just can't believe that they got a dead person Cynthia Bailey to do one.
Starting point is 00:41:38 I mean, RIT Cynthia Bailey. Did they just fire Cynthia in the last five minutes? I mean, what happened? like she's on girls trip? She's on this I feel so bad for Cynthia like what happened that they were just like You know we've been shooting two days you're fired because that's what it looks like. Yeah, that's exactly what it looks like It's like okay. Thank you for doing this Christmas movie and ultimate girls trip. You're fired. They're coming out in five months Thanks. I thought Sonya was the best. So I thought she was again, but I thought she was surprisingly a good actor. She was like just kind of natural. Yeah. And actually, I have
Starting point is 00:42:13 to give a shout out to our friend Hannah because Hannah got her first ever movie role. And she was the girl at the end of the housewives montage because it was like all these montage, all these housewives. And then it was Hannah in a coffee shop being like did you hear about Trish and Diane? So congratulations Hannah you made it. Is that Hannah Brown? It's Hannah Brown. Oh good for you Hannah Brown.
Starting point is 00:42:33 It meant to me that you see Hannah and I was like fairy egg. What was she doing in there? I was just proud of the blue. That's why I said I didn't remember. No, but that's next year. It's like below deck, Missile Toe. Missile Toe below deck, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:42:52 A very yachty Christmas. Are you yachtier nice? Oh. Yachtier nice, yeah. We're going to take a little break and then we'll be right back talking more about the housewives of the North. Raising kids can be one of the greatest rewards of a parent's life.

Starting point is 00:44:08 Welcome back to the 12Gase of Christmas. I'm Brian Boylan. I'm here with Ronnie Karam and Ben Mandilker. We're talking about the real house size of the North Pole. And I thought it was time in the spirit of Watch What Happens Live to play a little game. Are you boys up for a game? Oh sure. Yes. Okay. I'm for a game? Oh sure. Yes. OK, I'm calling this game Secret Santa.
Starting point is 00:44:28 And what I'm going to do is I am going to name for you a real housewife. And you have to tell me what you are going to buy her for Christmas. And whoever has the better, slash Shady or answer gets a point. And the winner gets a golden reindeer from home goods The first one obviously is Kyle Richards Ben you get to start I am going to get Kyle Richards what do I get Kyle Richards for Christmas? What do you get the woman who has it all? I would get her a the woman who has it all. I would get her a a box set of all the movies that Kim Richards was ever in and just just to see her react. I would send her a
Starting point is 00:45:13 case of LVP Rosé. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna go that one. Ronnie wins. Ronnie wins that one. Ronnie, you get to go next speaking of which what would you get Lisa Vanderp what would you get, Lisa Vanderpump? I would get Lisa Vanderpump a fur, you know those fur things you put your hands in, like a stroller. A muff, but like that tiny jiggy dog fur, you know, because you'll always have a little jiggy there.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Okay, Ben. I think I would get at least a Vanderpump a little white rabbit, because since she's always dressing like a magician these days, I think this way she can like finally, you know, step into the role she has been like preparing for for the past three years. A rabbit in the hat. I would buy her a ticket to Ulan China, but Ben wins. I think you went on that one. That's an exciting one.
Starting point is 00:46:10 I appreciate this sympathy one, but you went on that one. Ben, what would you get for Gen Shaw? Oh my God, for Gen Shaw, I think that what I would get her are all sorts of receipts that remind her of all the great things that she has bought for people to help them. That's what I think I would get for her, just a reminder of the good she has done for her friends and her family and for stew because that is what she does and for all her fellow Hawaiians and for every critter in the state of Utah, Gen Shah for president. Ronnie. Easy burner phone.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Ronnie wins. VPN maybe, a VPN. Ronnie, what would you get for Candie stiller'd? Candice Dillard, salad. I'm just center of salad in a box. Just a bagillard salad. I'll just send her a salad in the box. Just a bag full of salad. Just a bag of salad. Ben?
Starting point is 00:47:11 I would get her a lifetime supply of puffs tissues and as well as like a little origami books that way when she makes her, she doesn't have to just stick to just like a tissue square. She can make like a tissue crane or a tissue kite or like a tissue frog. She can just mix it up. I wish I had answered after you so I could say like you know those things like a tissue crane or tissue kite or like a tissue frog. She could just mix it up. I wish I had answered after you. I like that too.
Starting point is 00:47:27 So I could say like, you know those things that they use to fold clothes in a gap, you know, they have like a thing. So you can fold it easily, maybe like a tiny version from like her little, her little crying, little thing. All right, it is currently 2-2. Here's the tiebreaker and final housewife to buy a gift for and it is Ramona singer. Oh my gosh. I Think you just I think it the gift I would get for hers really get for all of us, which is maybe some adult diapers. Yeah
Starting point is 00:47:55 Squatty-potty here Squatty-potty little change your life. I Think we're gonna give it to Ronnie even though what you should have said is a Black Lives Matter t-shirt. That's what we should have done for a moment. A mask, maybe. Another actual K-95 mask. First maybe. That's the most I had in my lecture, Crystal Clear thing.
Starting point is 00:48:15 Oh my God, that mask, I had nightmares about that mask. The Meredith one. No, the Ramona singer, like, Clear one, like, Oh, yeah. That like, like, clear one. Oh, yeah. That like, thanks for her ears. The cable guy showed up at my house wearing one, and I was like, where did you get that Ramona singer mask?
Starting point is 00:48:33 And you need to leave immediately. I know. It is kind of scary getting used to seeing people without half their face, but it's a way scarier having to see their breath. Like, that's disgusting. That's mean that. That is disgusting. It's like wearing a terrarium on your face.
Starting point is 00:48:48 That's like what it looks like. That's a terrarium. It's literally like the scene in Jurassic Park where the Turex comes up to the car. Like, you're obsessed today. You've got some terrarium. You need to go watch that new Netflix Jurassic Park cartoon thing that they have on there. I will. So at the end of the episode, I always ask everybody, do you think that this is a Christmas
Starting point is 00:49:12 movie? Do you think that Housewives of the North Pole is a Christmas movie Ben and Ronnie? Yes, it is a Christmas movie because there are CGI reindeer in a geographical, illogical place coming around for no good reason, creating Christmas miracle for all, and Betsy Brant gets choked up, and for that alone, I say it's a Christmas movie. I think it was a Christmas movie. I don't really think any lessons were learned.
Starting point is 00:49:37 I mean, they just decided to be friends just because they were like there. It's like there was no real reason. They were like, well, I guess our kids are bonin' so we should be nice to each other again. But it's like the most recent season of Rahuaszo's in Atlanta. Like they're hanging around together because they have to.
Starting point is 00:49:52 And that's how they like each other. Yeah. Also, I would wager that there was a lesson that was learned because one character that we have literally not discussed at all is the plucky reporter who arrives in town and she came in town and you know she came in town to write a lovely piece about like humanity and America and then Alec Mapa you know was difficult to her and she quit her job and was like you know
Starting point is 00:50:15 some things are more important than a paycheck okay yeah but even if I do show up with my oversized old-timey camera to take a picture of college or get into fight with an old lady. There are things that are more important. Yeah, but I would argue that she was still a good person at the beginning who didn't agree with doing this dirty story in the first place, so she didn't really have a change, you know what I mean? But I will give it the Christmas movie stamp of approval.
Starting point is 00:50:39 I have to give them something for the effort and the music. I mean, this was some of the most obnoxious music I've ever heard in any film ever, and it's because they went out of their way to create 37 original Christmas songs that they played incessantly. I mean, it never stopped, and they were all the same Christmas. Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun tink of tink of tink of tink of tink. Christmas wrapping, kisses wrapping, Christmas wrapping.
Starting point is 00:51:05 It's like every single one. I wanted to kill all of them, but I was like, wow, there's a lot of originals to push out for a movie. There's a lot of dedication for a fake movie that only exists on BKI. No, also, I think we should give a shout out to whatever PAs and, you know, like set decorators, set designers. We're out there who had to haul those giant
Starting point is 00:51:29 mounds of fake snow. Every household had like six feet of snow over. I was like, okay, we get it, it's snowy, but you're also, you know, this is a lot. It was a lot. And the same PAs did it do a very good job Decorating they did not decorate the house was the house is sucked. I was like where the judges come on here and say this is not even What is this what are you doing? You've ruined Christmas your decorating sucks I have seen the great Christmas life fight and this was like wouldn't even get cast on that shit
Starting point is 00:52:04 I mean, you know whenever Betsy Bram is was shitty by the way her little binson bands I've seen the great Christmas light fight and this was like wouldn't even get cast on that shit. I mean, you know, never Betsy Bramis was shitty, by the way. Her little Vincent Bant snow display was objectively shitty. Kyle's was like, okay, but yeah, those were not, those were not award winning displays. But then again, we also know, we don't know what the other houses were like in this shitty shitty terrible because they won anyway, you know, they won this fight. But also we didn't see them team up, you know, I think it should have had something where they decided to come together and like, yeah, team up so we could actually see a good one because we just saw their, you know, their secondary work.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Maybe that was supposed to be the point. They were supposed to suck. But they still tried to make her a winner. So who knows? And also, how about that moment at the end, it's just sort of like, they're like, uh, what should we do with these two kids, by the way? Oh, I know. Let's send them to Africa. It's like, okay, yeah, I'm going to go, hey, mom, by the way, this time we have to teach in Africa.
Starting point is 00:53:01 It's going to go just go to an, he's just going to go to a continent, country unknown, location unknown, just go into a continent and see where he's going to like. Yeah, just in case you forgot, they were good people, guys. He took off to try to find Glenn. That's what he said. He was like, I'm going to make a podcast about finding Glenn. I do think there was a South America option in there too. In case Africa did not want to. Yeah, they were like, yeah You know they're or there, you know somewhere we're starving children. Yeah, anywhere was starving Okay, so update on Glenn guys Glenn's still alive. I don't know what happened on Beverly Hills
Starting point is 00:53:35 But he has been on the Hills new beginnings as himself No, and it says the last time he was on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was 2020. So that's something happened over there. He got Cynthia over there. Wow. He just wasn't connecting anymore. Yeah. All right, Pee Glenn. Wow. Well, hopefully we'll come back. Would you watch another Real Housewives Christmas movie? Housewives of the North Pole, part two. I don't know if I voluntarily would, but, uh, you know what I, but that being said, again, I thought this was better than I was expecting that if there is another one, I wanted to be
Starting point is 00:54:16 truer to the real housewives. If, you know, if the three of us need to be enlisted as creative consultants, so be it. But, um, I wanted to be like a group of women. I don't want to focus on two boring kids played by boring actors. Sorry. Yeah. Hate to hate to hate to like really say that out loud. You know, they're just they're young. They're young and starting out in life. But no, they're bad actors. And I wanted to be an ensemble of middle age women. And I wanted to just be basically dinner parties and pettiness and fudes. That's all I want. Agreed.
Starting point is 00:54:49 Yeah, I would agree. I wanted to be all real housewives. Like, there are enough actresses, wannabe actresses that every character in this movie could have been a housewife or a housewife. I agree. I agree. Who would you cast? Who would be, Alisa Rina would be good, obviously, because she's an actress.
Starting point is 00:55:03 Yes. Right? Harry Hamlin. Mm-hmm. Candy Burris. Candy Burris. Maybe Nini Leaks. Who's, I mean, not great, but serviceable. She could do it.
Starting point is 00:55:14 I don't know if anyone from New York has the, has the acting chops. Maybe like a weird, like, passing this, oh, Lewand, or maybe something strange, like, Carol Radswell, just sort of like, sort of like, lurking through, like, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. I won't wait to, Santa. It was a marathon.
Starting point is 00:55:35 What? What? She's the ghost writer of Christmas Bats. Let me tell you. I want Shane Kioh in there. My once and future husband who tried to have an acting career. I mean, Heather Dubrow, you gotta get to, you could, I like all the ones that pretend that they were actors.
Starting point is 00:55:56 Yeah, actually, yeah. You actually have the Dubrow would be a really good choice. I think that would be fun. All the people who pretend they're actors in real life, you know, like Kyle, Heather, Sonia, LeWam, Mimi, and Rossi, she's done a lot of real stuff. Lisa Vanderpump was on silk stockings. Vanderpump. Yeah. Gretchen Rossi was tapped for hot and Cleveland too. Don't forget.
Starting point is 00:56:18 Candy ass has been in some things. So Candace would actually Candace would be a good one. I don't know if there's anyone on Dallas. Not Giselle I thought Giselle in this commercial. She's on some commercial if you guys seen it was like a Twitter commercial It's so bad. It's so bad. I need to find it so not just I'll I can see Karen Huber having some untapped acting potential Mm-hmm. Yeah, I wonder and we need to get Michael Darby to produce it since he's now a movie producer Yes, or Randall Emmett to produce it. We can get Lala in there.
Starting point is 00:56:48 How about Joanna Krupa, formerly of Real House as a Miami? We had her on our show once. And she was really promoting the fact she was like, she didn't want to talk about being a real housewife. She just was like, you know, I'm like an actress now and I'm in a new film with Armando Sante and Rob Brown Kowski. I would like to have Brian Kowski be in our Christmas movie, our House Ice Christmas movie. He's in. I think Kyle Sealig would be great. He played the sun in this film. Let's say give Kyle another chance. Guys. Yeah, we can bring Kyle around. Let's give, what about Avery, Avery's
Starting point is 00:57:29 singer? Remember she did audition to be in a film in her first season. Remember she was auditioned to be a role opposite Merrill Streep? No, Ramona Singer saying Ramona Singer saying on girls trip, you know what? My daughter Avery, when I became a housewife, she said, Mum, I'm the one who's supposed to become famous. Me! So I never want Avery Singer to find success in anything. I want that to be your storyline for life.
Starting point is 00:57:52 That Ramona is just always falling into whatever success that Avery wanted for herself. What about multi-hyphenate? Can you more? It exactly, Garcell Bovay, also an actress. Oh, Garcell. Or Eileen Davidson. Eileen Davidson.
Starting point is 00:58:08 Oh my god. Yeah. Like, yeah. Or did he switch her- Did he switch her- She's already doing them. Denise is already- she's already in the machine. I mean- Not Brandy.
Starting point is 00:58:18 I wanted to render the show up just to say, I cooked, I cleaned, I made it nice. That's the other thing I wanted. I wanted some more like nutcracker fights. I wanted some more. Don't be cool, don't be all like uncool. Like I want to stand third party. There was no dinner party that was destroyed.
Starting point is 00:58:36 And there were no other housewives. It can't just be two ladies who were nice to each other except for this one hour in time, you know. It should, yeah, it needs to be like eight. Yeah, it should, there was no, like the classic thing in the real house, so I was like, that two people are feuding and the others are sort of like caught in the crossfire or there's like domino effects and people are trying to bring them together and then it falls apart and then other accusations come out and it just sort of like, it goes out of control.
Starting point is 00:59:02 And that was not here. By the way, Camille Grammer also, you know, she should be in the mix as well, even if it's just sort of like a dancing scene. Wow. There is enough here that you don't need to waste Betsy Brand. As yours make it very house wide.
Starting point is 00:59:18 Also poor Betsy Brand that this is the best she can do. I know, that's what I was saying. Like next year just let us do it, we'll do it. And then I'll just say, Betsy, we can like get some go-fun me going and just send Betsy Brown to check so she can pay her damn rant while she's waiting for next big role. I think that's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:59:36 I think there's, I'm actually genuinely excited for our fake version of this movie. Like the idea of like Heather DeBro and Kyle Richards and Eileen Davidson and Garsell Buve and Candace Dillard is is et cetera. Santa comes very toxic. Santa comes down the chimney and Heather can just say, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave. And Santa is Shannon Bedore and she just has a bowl with nine lemons in it.
Starting point is 01:00:06 And it just be like all these like she go to Yolanda's fridge, steal the Grinch Steel's nine lemons, puts them in a bowl and then goes to Kylie Davidson's chimney. It's just like a fever dream of like housewives in jokes. I thought that Santa could use a low-cal snacks. So instead of cooking, you just put out some lemons. Oh. Just for once I'd like to be the one not bringing the gifts. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa to talk about the housewives if in the North Pole, please tell all of our Christmas cherubs out there, Christmas cherubs.
